《King of Gods》


 1 Young Zhao Feng

    _Morning. Just as the sky lit up, while the whole of Sun Feather City was still hidden in the darkness before dawn¡­¡­_


    _Sun Feather City, Zhao Family Clan_


    __


    _Fwoosh!_


    A young man reacted on instinct, throwing off his warm and comfortable covers, jumping up from his bed and put his clothes on. All of this was done in less than one breath. At this time most of the family sect disciples and even some of the servants, were still sleeping.


    The young man was between thirteen and fourteen years old, with a slim body and a childish face. He wasn¡¯t super handsome, but still good-looking. His eyes were especially clear and full of fighting spirit.


    ¡°Just a bit longer and I can reach the second rank of the Martial Path, then I¡¯ll have all those other Zhao family sect disciples shut up.¡±


    This young man¡¯s name was Zhao Feng. Half a year ago, he came from the Green Leaf Village¡¯s Zhao branch family to the Sun Feather Zhao main family sect, based on his superb performance.


    At the Green Leaf Branch, he was a genius for his age and was the first to reach the 1st rank of the Martial Pathway. From then on, he left the life of mortals and stepped into the gateway of cultivation. At that time, every old person in the village praised him for his talent, saying his future could not be measured. His family sect, parents, they all had high hopes for him!


    However, only Zhao Feng knew how much more effort he put in than his peers, allowing him to become the genius of Green Leaf Village¡­


    The Green Leaf Village Zhao family was one of the main Zhao family sect¡¯s side branches. Every five years, there would be two people recommended into the main sect from Green Leaf. The person who came with Zhao Feng was Zhao Xue, a girl who had reached the first rank of the Martial Pathway only two months after him.


    After leaving Green Leaf Village, Zhao Feng was full of fighting will, determined to go to the main Zhao family sect and show off his skills. However, it was only after he had come to the main Zhao family sect that he realized that he was just a frog at the bottom of a well¡­


    In terms of population, Green Leaf Village Zhao family only had a hundred people, with only seven or eight around his own age. At the main Zhao family, there were tens of thousands of people, and they controlled large amounts of land, mines, and resources. Compared to the Zhao family of Green Leaf Village, this family was over a hundred times larger!!!


    In the side branch at Green Leaf Village, he was considered a talent, even a genius by some. Here at the Zhao sect, he was merely considered to be one of the lowest level of cultivators for his age, a lowly outer disciple.


    In the Zhao sect, there were many youths his age who had broken through to the second rank of the Martial Path. There were even some who were talented, having broken into the third rank. And according to some rumors, some of the family geniuses had already broken through to the fourth rank¡­


    Confronted with this reality, Zhao Feng started to realize that he was nothing compared to them. He had been innocently ignorant and small in comparison.


    Also, Zhao Xue, the beautiful girl who came with him from Green Leaf Village, slowly became distant from him after entering the Zhao sect. She interacted more and more with one of the top three outer disciples.


    Looking back, when Zhao Xue was still at Green Leaf village, she had looked up to him in awe and even adored him. At that time, Zhao Feng had only focused on cultivating, and ignored her.


    Now, he became more and more desperate, and put in even more effort into his cultivation after feeling a sense of gnawing despair.


    He made an oath: He would take a spot at the top at Sun Feather City in the Zhao sect! He would never go back to Green Leaf Village!


    ******


    After washing up, Zhao Feng took a deep breath and then ran towards the family sect¡¯s martial arts field.


    ¡°Hah! Hah!¡±


    Zhao Feng took a half step with both fists carrying the wind, and practiced the Zhao sect¡¯s Flaming Metal Fists. Flaming Metal Fists was only a core martial art, but Zhao Feng practiced it carefully, polishing it beautifully.


    In laymen¡¯s terms, normal martial arts were divided into 5 categories: core, low, middle, high, and peak. Normally, the higher the rank of a martial art, the higher the damage dealt by it would be and the better it would be for cultivating.


    Core martial arts, the lowest of martial arts, were used to strengthen one¡¯s body and blood, and the damage dealt by them was very low. However, with Zhao Feng¡¯s side branch identity, as well as having no exceptional talent, it was very hard for him to learn martials arts of a higher rank.


    ¡°I have been staying at the first rank of the Martial Path for a long time. However, to break through to the second rank, I still need some time.¡±


    After practicing for a while, Zhao Feng¡¯s face was raining sweat, and his breathing rate was quick.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s talent wasn¡¯t considered bad. The reason why he couldn¡¯t catch up to the others was because he didn¡¯t have martial skills of a higher rank. He also wasn¡¯t rich, like the main family disciples who could buy precious pills to increase their cultivation speed.


    Some said a few disciples of the Zhao sect would use precious pills from birth to strengthen their bodies. Before reaching age ten, they had already broken through the first rank of the Martial Path, gaining a distinct advantage over others.


    At the starting line of life, Zhao Feng was already far behind them.


    Half an hour later, the sun slowly rose into view. At the martial arts field, some of the Zhao sect disciples slowly but steadily came, and some laughed and played with one another. However, when their gazes landed on Zhao Feng, their eyes suddenly became cold, and some even showed disdain.


    This attitude wasn¡¯t pointed at Zhao Feng alone. The Zhao sect disciples looked down upon everyone who came from the side branches. In front of those who came from the side branches, they felt a certain amount of pride!


    While Zhao Feng was lost in his thoughts, a sound came whistling from this back: ¡°Little broomstick! Stop there!¡±


    _Pah!_


    A hand as strong as metal hit him hard on the shoulder.


    ¡°It¡¯s you¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng was caught off balance and almost fell. Luckily, his core skills were good and he steadied himself in time.


    The hand¡¯s owner was a youth dressed in black. His body was fit and muscular, and he had thick eyebrows. His eyes had a tinge of playfulness inside of them as he looked down at Zhao Feng, who had just regained his balance.


    ¡°Zhao Kun! What is the meaning of this?¡± Zhao Feng had a face full of anger and wanted to hit Zhao Kun.


    When Zhao Feng first came to the Zhao sect, the two of them had a little conflict. This was because Zhao Kun was mocking those who came from the side branches and Zhao Feng was dissatisfied with him.


    Zhao Kun was a person who took revenge at every possible opportunity, and from then on, whenever he found Zhao Feng he would humiliate him every time.


    ¡°Zhao Kun! With your strength, if you cannot take this side branch disciple in ten moves, then it would not be cool!¡±


    ¡°Ten moves? Zhao Kun is already at the peak of the second rank of the Martial Path! To fight that kid, I think three moves will be enough!¡±


    ¡°Three moves? If they fight straight on, it will not be that easy!¡± the disciples nearby said, ready to watch the show. Most people did not care about what happened, so they spoke without restraint.


    ¡°Three moves? Hahaha...¡± Zhao Kun raised his head and laughed with a look of disdain on his face, ¡°You are all looking down on me, Zhao Kun! To beat this kid, I will only need one move!¡±


    Only need one move!


    The disciples who were present had looks of shock on their faces.


    ¡°One move?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows crunched up and his face changed. The anger in his heart also rose again.


    He and Zhao Kun only had one rank in difference between them. If Zhao Kun did well, maybe he could win in three moves. That was true.


    However, just one move¡­this was a humiliation!


    Facing Zhao Kun¡®s provocative eyes, Zhao Feng calmed down soon and thought, I cannot fall into this trap. Even if I live through this one move, he will still humiliate me afterwards.


    Having been at the Zhao sect for half a year, Zhao Feng had been beaten a few times and had learned to bear with it.


    ¡°I am quite tired from training today. Let me rest a few days, and then I will fight you.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s face was expressionless as he then left without another word.


    His performance gave Zhao Kun, who was the same age as him, pause.


    ¡°Ok, kiddo, I will let you off the hook today, but the next time we see each other, do not forget about today¡¯s ¡®One-move battle¡¯.¡± Zhao Kun¡¯s eyes gave off a cold and cunning feel.


    One-move battle?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart sped up once more, and thought: ¡°It looks like Zhao Kun isn¡¯t going to let me off the hook. I must reach the secnd rank of the Martial Path soon. Only then can I fight Zhao Kun.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart tensed up once more.


    After leaving the martial arts field, Zhao Feng returned home.


    Since Zhao Feng had managed to enter the Zhao main family sect, his parents also gained a bit of his prestige and also entered the Zhao sect. This was supposed to be his parents¡¯ reward.


    However, Zhao Feng only felt ashamed because his performance at the Zhao sect might disappoint his parents. He might also disappoint those of the older generation who had high expectations of him back at the village.


    ¡°I am back.¡±


    A deep, calm man walked out. It was Zhao Feng¡¯s father, Zhao Tianyang.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, come quick and have some food!¡± This was his mother, Zhao Shi, who had a caring look on her face as she brought out food from the kitchen.


    Every time Zhao Feng came home, he was able to feel the warmth and love here.


    ¡°Thanks mom¡­this tastes so good!¡± Zhao Feng mumbled, his mouth full of food.


    While they ate, Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Shi didn¡¯t speak, as if there was something on their mind.


    ¡°Father, Mother, what are you¡­¡± Zhao Feng saw that his parents had solemn expressions and looked as if they had something to say. Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Shi looked at one another, and then they took a long sigh together.


    ¡°Let me say it. Not long ago, the sect¡¯s higher levels sent some people over with a letter.¡± Zhao Tianyang paused for a moment.


    ¡°The sect¡¯s higher levels?¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t understand.


    Zhao Tianyang had a solemn face and said: ¡°The sect has now made some new rules. If the side branch¡¯s youths cannot break through to the second rank, they will have no right to participate in the family sparring contest. If¡­before the age of fifteen, they cannot reach the third rank, they will be sent back to their branches.¡±


    What!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart stopped for a second and his face changed dramatically.


    The family sparring competition was where all the youths fought to show off their skills. The ones who won would get rich rewards and have a chance to become an inner disciple, who would be fully trained by the family. Thus, the family sparring competition was a chance to turn into a dragon from a fish for the outer disciples.


    If they lost the chance to enter, it was the same as being thrown away by the sect!


    And the rule that made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart cold was the last one ¨C Before the age of fifteen, those who are not able to achieve the third rank of the Martial Path, will be sent back to the branch families.


    ¡°No, no, this cannot be true¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was soft, and both his hands clenched together.


    He and his parents wouldn¡¯t have the face to be sent back to the Green Leaf Village.


    ¡°This rule is only set towards the side branch disciples.¡± His mother Zhao Qi had a look of dissatisfaction on her face.


    ¡°Mother, Father, it is ok. I will train even harder and reach the second rank of the Martial Path before the family sparring competition,¡± Zhao Feng clenched his teeth and said while trembling.


    ¡°There are still two months left, and to register, you need to sign up a month earlier. To break through to the second rank in a month is probably not easy.¡±


    Zhao Tian Tang shook his head. Only a month¡¯s time?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were dim as if he had fallen into darkness.


    If there were two months left, and he doubled his efforts, there was a twenty to thirty percent chance of success. To break through in a month, however, he didn¡¯t have any confidence at all!


    After staying silent for a long time, Zhao Shi wiped the corners of her eyes and spoke softly, ¡°Feng¡¯er, it doesn¡¯t matter if you fail¡­you still make us proud¡­the most that will happen is us returning to Green Leaf village and living a normal life.¡±


    ¡°Yeah! If we return to Green Leaf Village, you will still be the most talented one there ¨C I would rather have you be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!¡± Zhao Tianyang nodded his head in agreement.


    Being parents, they would rather have their children be safe, even if their lives would be normal.


    But return to Green Leaf village?


    ¡°No!¡± Zhao Feng shook his head furiously. ¡°I am not going back to Green Leaf Village to lead a normal life!¡±


    He once swore an oath. To perform well, earn a spot in the Zhao sect in Sun Feather City, and own his own land. His heart yearned towards the ninth rank of the Martial Path and the land that lies beyond in the outer world.


    How could he be willing to lose and return in this manner?


    Zhao Feng restrained himself from crying, screamed, and merely ran out of the house.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er! Don¡¯t be stubborn¡­¡± his parents called out.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, thunder and lightning rumbled in the sky, and it started raining. Zhao Feng kept the despair in his heart, howling back at the sky, and ran out into the rain. The lightning shot everywhere, making Zhao Feng¡¯s face light up.


    ¡°Not good!¡± Zhao Feng felt a pressure bearing down on him, and when he looked up, he was shocked by what he saw.


    From birth, he had never seen such lightning, so closely packed together, like a spider¡¯s web. In that short moment, the lightning above seemed to be under some kind of power, which caused the very dimensions to crack.


    Sheeeeeeew ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª-


    A black streak came from out of the darkness. It passed through the lightning and caused beautiful dream-like ripples to appear. It was impossible to imagine what that black line was, it was even able to ignore the power of lightning.


    Pah! Pah!


    Zhao Feng felt his feet go numb, his hair and clothes turn black, and thunder rang in his ears nonstop. The whole world suddenly went dead silent.


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    His face was white, looking down at his feet he saw a weird black marble, like an eyeball. It was this item that had caused the black line.


    Peng! Peng!


    The eye-like marble seemed like it had life, giving off a thumping sound as it seemed to stare Zhao Feng right in the eye. However, the eyeball seemed to thump in sync with his own heart, giving Zhao Feng a friendly feeling.


    At this moment, he felt some kind of impulse, attraction, a pulling? Like he was being called?


    ¡°Does this item have life?¡± He held his breath, ready for any signs of danger. However, before he could move -


    Poom! The eyeball-like marble turned into an afterimage as it shot into Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    ¡°Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!¡± Zhao Feng screamed, and then fainted.


    Before he blacked out, he had only one thought. I¡¯m screwed¡­my eye has been blinded!

 2 The Battle of One Move

    Not knowing how much time had passed, Zhao Feng started to regain consciousness, but he was not able to feel his body. The only thing he felt was the pain coming from his left eye.


    Left eye?


    Zhao Feng turned cold, and suddenly remembered what happened. Before he fainted, the weird eyeball-shaped marble had stabbed straight into his left eye.


    If it was just a minor injury, his left eye had probably been blinded and could probably be compared with those ugly and berserk ¡®one-eyed dragons¡¯.


    When he thought of that, Zhao Feng had the urge to cry.


    _Peh! Peh! Peh! Peh!¡­_


    There was a sound like a heartbeat, giving off a familiar and kind feeling, resonating out from his punctured left eye.


    _Shoosh!_


    He thought about his left eye and in that moment, his consciousness was sucked into the dark marble.


    _Boom!_


    His brain suddenly shook and Zhao Feng¡¯s mind was brought into a pitch black dimension.


    ¡°This place is...¡±


    Zhao Feng had a natural fear of the unknown, and seeing such a weird place was completely outside of his experience. But his attention was attracted by the faint green light given off from the center of the pitch black place.


    That faint green light seemed very mysterious, and infinitely deep. It slowly spun, as if it had survived from the ancient times until now, giving people a feeling of life and eternity.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s awareness was fully absorbed by it, and was so absorbed that he would not awaken, not until the sky turned old or the dimension was destroyed.


    _¡°The Ancient is broken, and the Ancient Gods slain will turn into endless dust¡­¡±_


    The sigh that came with the words seemed so ancient and sad. It reverberated within the pitch black area, as if it also came from the ancient times.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡± Zhao Feng consciousness swayed, and his whole body turned cold. He surveyed the area, but could not see anyone.


    That sound seemed to come from the space itself.


    _¡°There is a soul in the universe that is perfectly in sync with me? Is this destiny?¡±_ the mysterious voice said to itself.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there sneaking around?!¡± Zhao Feng suppressed his fear and shouted.


    _¡°To continue my bloodline of the Eye, you will rule everyone, control every race. You lucky youngster, do not disappoint me¡­¡±_


    The pitch black area suddenly poured out an Ancient consciousness, which then faded away.


    Everything became calm¡­


    Hah!


    Zhao Feng took a long breath, but before he could think any more, a painful feeling came from his left eye.


    ****************************************************


    _Within a room..._


    The burning sun came through the window.At this time, Zhao Feng suddenly woke into reality.


    This was his room.


    ¡°Ahhhhh¡­ my eye!¡± Zhao Feng screamed and clutched his left eye, which was now swollen red and burning with pain.


    Zhao Feng laid back on the bed, and his body still had charred pieces from where he was struck by lightning. The pain coming from his left eye made him sweat and toss around in the room.


    Fortunately, the pain faded away as time went by .


    ¡°My eye¡­¡± Zhao Feng had a face full of worry, and slowly loosened the grip around his left eye.


    He was certain that his left eye could still see light.


    When his left eye saw the first ray of sunlight, the strong burn made him squint and let out his breath.


    His left eye eventually adapted to the sunlight and could finally make out the world. However, what came after made Zhao Feng go into shock.


    The whole world seemed to have become tens of thousands of different colors.


    The vision of his left eye made everything seem perfectly clear and beautiful. Zhao Feng could even see the particles in the air, which certainly wasn¡¯t what normal vision could make out.


    He could clearly see ants on a tree 100 meters away, and the veins on a leaf.


    _What is going on? My left eye can even¡­_


    Zhao Feng thought about it after the shock passed, and revealed some happiness on his face.


    He was certain that his left eye had undergone a series of changes and was at least ten times stronger than his original eye.


    Zhao Feng took out a mirror and looked at it closely. His left eye¡¯s size was the same as before. The only difference was that the center of the eye was darker than the original. When he fully used his left eye, the eyeball would give off a faint glow of green light.


    These changes, although not very obvious, caused his heart to race.


    ¡°Did¡­did that mysterious eye merge with my left eye?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was happy, but also worried at the same time.


    After a while he took a deep breath, and walked out his room.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, you did not wake up for one day and one night, do not make me feel so worried!¡± Zhao Shi saw that her son was alright and was extremely relieved.


    ¡°Mother, I am all right! I might even have gotten lucky from this disaster,¡± Zhao Feng laughed. However, his face soon turned solemn. ¡°Wait! Mother, did you say¡­that I was unconscious for one day and one night?¡±


    ¡°Yes, that day after you were hit by lightning, but the alchemist said that you were just unconscious.¡± Zhao Shi wiped her eyes, scared by what might have happened.


    While they talked, Zhao Feng¡¯s stomach growled, and only then did he feel the hunger rise up inside him.


    ¡°Come! I will make you some food to eat.¡± Zhao Shi went to the kitchen and bustled around.


    While she did, Zhao Feng kept on using his left eye to observe everything, and felt that his body had also gone through some changes. The most obvious change was his reaction speed.


    _Hmmmmmmmm¡­_


    While they were eating, Zhao Feng gaze landed upon a fly buzzing around.


    His left eye saw the fly¡¯s flying route, he could even differentiate the gender, and he could also make out the veins upon its wings.


    _Shoosh!_


    He waved his chopsticks on instinct.


    Suddenly, the humming stopped.


    Hahaha! Zhao Feng looked at the fly killed by his chopsticks and laughed deep in his heart.


    This felt good!


    This felt damn nice!


    Because of his left eye, Zhao Feng¡¯s reaction speed and sight now far surpassed those of normal people.


    After eating, Zhao Feng felt full of energy, so he raced towards the martial arts field. He had a feeling that the change in his left eye could possibly change his life¡­


    His left eye gave off sizzles of heat and after that, also gave off a peh-peh heartbeat sound.


    He didn¡¯t know that as the mysterious eyeball merged with him, his bloodline and body were slowly changing.


    *********************************


    _The Martial Arts Field_


    Zhao Feng was the same as normal and started to practice his fist core martial arts.


    ¡°Hahaha! Zhao Feng, you¡¯re finally here, I thought you¡¯d be a turtle hiding in your shell¡­,¡± came a laugh from the other side of the martial arts field.


    _Damn it!_ , Zhao Feng swore in his heart and then looked at the muscular Zhao Kun, who was striding over. He then remembered the ¡®one move battle¡¯ with Zhao Kun.


    With Zhao Kun¡¯s laugh, many sect disciples in the martial arts field came and gathered around.


    _Looks like it cannot be avoided..._


    Zhao Feng could only walk to meet him.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, get ready. One move! I¡¯ll only need one move to make you go down!¡±


    Zhao Kun¡¯s massive body seemed like a tiger and pressed towards Zhao Feng, acting as soon as his words finished. Using a weird stance, his two hands and body contracted like a poisonous snake, giving off a dark and creepy feeling.


    Zhao Feng felt a chill, as if he was locked onto by a serpent.


    ¡°Whoa, it is the high ranked martial art Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake!¡± came an excited shout from the crowd who recognized Zhao Kun¡¯s move.


    ¡°High ranked martial art, how is this possible! Most second rank disciples can only go to the Martial Arts Library and get middle rank martial arts, how could Zhao Kun get a high ranked one?¡±


    ¡°You might not know this, but Zhao Kun¡¯s grandfather is one of the sect elders¡­¡±


    ¡°No wonder Zhao Kun has confidence in winning with one move, it is because he¡¯s learned the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake!¡±


    The disciples around the area all felt chilled, even some of those whose cultivation exceeded Zhao Kun gave him a solemn look.


    ¡°It is a high rank martial arts skill.¡± Zhao Feng took a cold breath.


    At the Zhao sect, disciples under the fourth rank of the Martial Path could only learn low or middle ranked martial arts. As for Zhao Feng, since he had not even achieved the second rank of the Martial Path yet, he could not enter the sect¡¯s Martial Arts Library, so he could not even learn low rank martial arts.


    Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake was a high rank martial arts skill, and the damage dealt by it was way higher than low and middle rank martial arts, not to mention core rank martial arts.


    At this moment, Zhao Kun¡¯s moving hand even gave Zhao Feng a huge pressure, as if he just needed to move and the poisonous snake would attack.


    No wonder Zhao Kun has confidence to take me down in a single move! Zhao Feng¡¯s heart sped up, as he knew that, under normal circumstances, he couldn¡¯t take even one move from a high rank martial art skill.


    And even then, Zhao Kun¡¯s cultivation was higher than his own by one rank!


    _Peh! Peh!_


    Under the pressure, Zhao Feng felt his left eye move, and felt a sudden excitement. He put all of his power into his left eye and targeted Zhao Kun. Not one saw that, at this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye gave off a faint green glow...


    _Shoosh!_


    Zhao Feng felt like he had gone into super-vision mode. In his sight, Zhao Kun¡¯s body was enlarged, and every change, including his breathing rate, heartbeat, his muscles, veins, everything was seen with his left eye.


    And at that moment, the world seemed to slow down by many times.


    However, the speed of the world didn¡¯t slow down. The change was Zhao Feng¡¯s own reaction speed!


    Under the pressure, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart felt extremely peaceful and calm.


    His opponent Zhao Kun had an unknown shiver and a sudden feeling that all of his secrets had been seen through.


    ¡°Third Change of the Poisonous Snake!¡±


    Zhao Kun had a glum face and used his strongest strike without hesitation. His body was like a poisonous snake, and moved like lightning, having both extreme speed and power.


    _Shoosh!_


    In a flash, Zhao Kun¡¯s two fingers were together, and like a poisonous snake¡¯s fangs, slashed through the air as they stabbed towards Zhao Feng.


    _So fast!_ , many of the sect disciples thought. Many youths of the second rank of the Martial Path did not even manage to see how Zhao Kun moved.


    Just as Zhao Kun¡¯s fang-like fingers were about to to hit Zhao Feng -


    _Pah!_


    Suddenly, a strong fist punched through the air, hitting Zhao Kun¡¯s arm, making him fall!


    What happened?, Zhao Kun felt his mind shudder as his body stiffened due to shock, his arm turning numb.


    His fingers, which were only half an inch away from Zhao Feng¡¯s chest, could not move forwards at all!


    _Whoosh¡ª_


    Zhao Kun¡¯s stomach suddenly erupted with pain as he was sent flying out with a scream.


    ¡°What happened!?¡± all of the disciples shouted in shock.


    ¡°One move, you¡¯ve lost¡­¡±

 3 Breaking through to the Second Rank of the Martial Path

    ¡°One move, you¡¯ve lost¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng had an expression of shock and excitement which was hard to cover up.


    _I won? And I won in one move?_


    Before the battle, because of the changes in his left eye, Zhao Feng was confident that by relying on his reaction speed and vision, he would be able to block one of Zhao Kun¡¯s moves, and if used well, more than ten moves.


    However, the actual result was well out of his expectations!


    Zhao Kun¡¯s attack was very fast to some of the bystanders, but under Feng¡¯s left eye, all of his movements were as clear as day. When his left eye was activated to its fullest capability, Zhao Feng felt that the opponent¡¯s moves seemed slow and clumsy.


    He was stunned because he saw faults in Zhao Kun¡¯s skill.


    Faults!


    Faults in a high ranked martial art!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t understand it either, how could he see the opponent¡¯s faults so easily? Maybe it was because the opponent hadn¡¯t fully polished the skill?


    At last, Zhao Feng had reacted on instinct, just like how he had with the fly, and gave the opponent a deadly hit, which allowed him to win in one move.


    _Hua!_


    All the disciples on the martial arts field were shocked.


    ¡°Did I see wrong!? The one that lost was Zhao Kun!¡±


    ¡°You are right! The person who lost was Zhao Kun!¡±


    All the Zhao disciples opened their eyes wide and had weird faces on.


    _How is this possible¡­how could I lose to this guy?_ Zhao Kun had a disbelieving face. He lost so suddenly that he didn¡¯t understand how it had happened.


    At this time, the expressions on Zhao Feng and Zhao Kun¡¯s faces were comparable.


    ¡°It was by accident!¡± When the Zhao disciples saw the expression on Zhao Feng¡¯s face, they understood.


    After this was said, all of them started agreeing.


    ¡°You are right! This kid¡¯s luck must be too good, he won by accident.¡±


    ¡°His luck must be too good¡­¡±


    The crowd rapidly agreed on the reason for Zhao Feng¡¯s victory.


    ¡°Luck? Maybe,¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly and turned to leave.


    ¡°Kid! Stay there!¡±


    Zhao Kun clutched his stomach as he slowly stood up before he darkly said, ¡°Zhao Feng! You were just lucky before, that¡¯s why you won. Let¡¯s fight again!¡±


    ¡°Fight again?¡± Zhao Feng scrunched up his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Kun, ¡°First, you¡¯re hurt. Second, I don¡¯t have time.¡±


    After saying this he turned towards a corner of the martial arts field and left behind the group of disciples with stunned faces.


    ¡°Bastard! After I¡¯m healed, I¡¯ll perfect my Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake, then I¡¯ll fight you.¡±


    Zhao Kun had a face full of anger as he left without another word.


    Looking back on the fight, Zhao Kun had his own reasons why he lost, and there were three main reasons:


    First, he looked down on his opponent.


    Second, he had only learned the first three moves of the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake, and there were still many faults as it was not yet perfected.


    Third, Zhao Feng had too much luck.


    ****************


    On the other side of the martial arts field, Zhao Feng started to practice.


    ¡°The reason I was able to win the fight is mainly because Zhao Kun looked down on me, as well as the fact that he have yet to perfect the high ranked martial art skill, which allowed for me to see the faults in it¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng knew the answer in his heart. Zhao Kun would definitely not go easy on him in the next fight, and if he perfected the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake¡¯s first three moves, then Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any confidence in winning again.


    That was because the difference between the first rank and the second rank of the Martial Path was too big.


    The Martial Path had nine ranks in total, the first three ranks were known as the Body Ranks.


    The Body Ranks were about gaining strength and increasing one¡¯s foundation.


    So the first rank and the second rank of the Martial Path had a difference of around 100 kilograms in terms of strength.


    That¡¯s why, under normal conditions, to be a first rank and beat the second rank of the Martial Path was so surprising, and even more so to win in one move.


    ¡°The key point is still to increase my strength!¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath and started to practice Flaming Metal Fist again.


    The first move¡­the second move¡­the third move¡­


    The Flaming Metal Fist seemed to be as smooth as water, smoother than it had ever been.


    Hah!


    As Zhao Feng finished his kata, he had an excited look on his face. The Flaming Metal Fist had a total of thirty-two moves, and he could now finish them in one breath, much faster than before. The power of the moves had also increased!


    After finishing the kata, he felt that his blood flowed better and faster than before, as if it was burning.


    _Peh! Peh!¡­_


    At the same time, the beat coming from his left eye became even more obvious.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and his consciousness fell into the pitch black dimension.


    At the center of the dimension, there was a faint green light.


    At first, the faint green light had a radius of around sixty cm, and was quite faint.


    Now, the area and brightness of the faint green light seemed to have increased.


    ¡°Could it be? Is the eye¡¯s abilities directly linked to my own strength?¡± Zhao Feng guessed happily.


    The changes in his left eye gave him the chance to change his destiny. First, it had let him beat Zhao Kun, and secondly, when he practiced his moves, they had become super smooth.


    ¡°Again!¡± Zhao Feng eyes sharpened as he started to practice Flaming Metal Fist again.


    _Hu Hu Hu¡­_


    Zhao Fengs movement speed became faster and faster, and the moves started to perfectly link with one another.


    After practicing it for the third time, his speed had already become twice as fast as before, and the damage had also increased greatly.


    Through his breathing, he felt his blood circulate better and the parts of his body that could not be toughened before had also started to become stronger.


    ¡°At this speed, I will just need a few more days to break through to the second rank of the Martial Path.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that his improvements were very obvious.


    He practiced until night and then wiped his sweat and headed back towards his home. After arriving home, he still was thinking about the changes in his left eye.


    To continue my bloodline of the Eye, you will rule everyone, control every race. You lucky youngster, do not disappoint me¡­


    He remembered the voice that came from the pitch black dimension before he fainted.


    ¡°This eye might have come from an ancient god-like existence, and in an accident, merged with my own eye,¡± Zhao Feng assumed.


    Even at night, when he opened his eye, he could still see everything outside. The darkness of night had almost zero influence on him now. His eye could still see the birds a few kilometers away.


    Zhao Feng lay on his bed that night and felt his left eye releasing sizzling pulses of heat, which merged with his blood.


    Under this weird feeling, Zhao Feng fell asleep.


    **********************************


    _The next morning..._


    Zhao Feng woke up, stretched his four limbs and went to practice in the small courtyard.


    This yard is too old, and the environment is bad. When I am stronger, I am definitely going to let my parents live inside a big yard, Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    Quickly, he began to practice the thirty-two moves of the Flaming Metal Fist.


    _Hu Hu Hu¡­_


    The fists carried the wind and now contained extreme power. As soon as he threw a few punches, he felt that something was wrong.


    Between each breath, his blood was raging and gave off an aura of power, every punch now contained at least 200-250 kg of force.


    ¡°What!¡±


    Zhao Feng was shocked, and his two fists blurred into two patches of red light.


    _Ka Ka Ka!_


    One of the punches hit the big tree in front of him, and a branch as thick as a fist snapped into pieces.


    ¡°No! This definitely is not the power of a first rank, could it be¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    To prove his theory, he took a deep breath and put all of his power into one stomp.


    _Peh!_


    The ground shook and the layers of earth crumbled, leaving Zhao Feng¡¯s footprint two cm deep into the hard-packed ground.


    His expression turned happy as one of his palms hit a stone that was at least thirty kg, and broke it into pieces.


    This kind of power wasn¡¯t something that the first rank of the Martial Path could have.


    ¡°Second rank of the Martial Path¡­I¡¯ve broken through to the second rank of the Martial Path!¡± Zhao Feng closed his eyes and began to feel the power coursing through his body.


    He had thought that breaking through to the second rank would at least take a few days, but hadn¡¯t realized that he had broken through after just one night¡¯s sleep.


    His consciousness went inside his left eye, and there Zhao Feng found that the faint green lightnow extended from around sixty cm to sixty-seven cm.


    He felt that his energy was better than before, and that it also had different changes which could not be explained¡­

 4 Zhao Yijian

    ¡°After breaking through to the second rank of the Martial Path, I won¡¯t be at the bottom anymore, and I¡¯ll also have the right to participate in the Family Sparring Contest.¡± Zhao Feng was very excited, but soon calmed down.


    The Martial Path had nine ranks, and every rank was harder to achieve than the previous one, similar to a pyramid.


    Everyone knew that the first three ranks were known as the Body Ranks. Cultivators at this stage were also known as Martial Learners!


    Martial Learners used force to strengthen their bodies to provide a strong foundation for later realms.


    Although Martial Learners were very low, as they had just entered the gateway of Martial Arts, to cultivate to the peak of the third rank was not to be looked down upon. One would have at least 400 kg of strength, and those born with better talent could even have over 500 kg of strength! They could rip apart tigers and destroy bears with their bare hands.


    Although Zhao Feng had only broken through to the second rank, he had 250-300 kg of strength, which was well outside the capabilities of normal people. If it was accompanied by strong martial skills, dozens of normal people wouldn¡¯t be able to stop him.


    _If I can reach the third rank of the Martial Path, and have 350-400 kg of strength, my overall strength will at least double_ , Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    Of course, the thing that he yearned for was the fourth rank of the Martial Path.


    The fourth thru sixth ranks of the Martial Path were known as the Accumulation Ranks. Students at that level were also known as Martial Artists!


    After entering this realm, the Martial Artist wouldn¡¯t just have a strong body and blood. They could also strengthen their organs and use the power of Inner strength, which surpassed that of pure muscle attacks. Once they reached Martial Artist, they would leave the realm of mundane people and enter a higher level.


    Back at Green Leaf Village, Zhao Feng had the urge to become a true Martial Artist, and entering the Zhao sect had made this dream come one step closer.


    *************************


    After he entered the second rank of the Martial Path, Zhao Feng immediately told his parents.


    Second rank of the Martial Path?


    His father Zhao Tianyang and his mother Zhao Shi were both surprised, but let out deep breaths of relief.


    As Zhao Feng was able to reach the second rank at his age without the use of outside help, his talent could be said to be truly above average.


    ¡°All you have to do for the next two months is to prepare for the Family Sparring Contest. We do not need you to do extremely well, just do not lose face.¡± Zhao Tianyang revealed a happy smile.


    His mother Zhao Shi also had a pleased smile. For Zhao Feng to reach this step, they were both very pleased and did not have higher expectations.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s goals weren¡¯t restricted to just this. He wanted to become a true Martial Artist, maybe even reach the pinnacle of Martial Arts!


    After breaking through to the second rank, my status within the sect is now higher and I have the right to enter the first floor of the Martial Arts Library. The sect¡¯s Martial Arts Library contained many different martial arts skills. Thinking about this, Zhao Feng immediately headed for the Martial Arts Library.


    ¡°Brother Feng!¡±


    Halfway, a slightly shocked voice from a girl stopped him.


    The young girl¡¯s voice had a familiar sound and felt comfortable to listen to.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body turned stiff, as a boy and girl close to his own age approached from the side.


    The boy was purple clothed, had thick eyebrows, with a straight tall back and sharp eyes. His cultivation had reached the peak of the third rank, and the other disciples around him could feel the pressure he emitted.


    ¡°He is the sects third ranking outer disciple Zhao Yijian!¡± the people around them exclaimed, with faces full of worry and fear.


    The girl that came with Zhao Yijian was a young woman wearing white. She had a clear and beautiful face.


    ¡°Little Sister Xue.¡± Zhao Feng looked at the white clothed girl and his mouth subconsciously curled into a mocking smile.


    The girl in front of him was the one who entered the sect with him half a year ago, Zhao Xue.


    Back at Green Leaf Village, Zhao Xue was a huge fan of his. However, after they entered the Zhao sect they became distant from one another, and they were almost total strangers now.


    After Zhao Xue entered the Zhao sect, she quickly became good friends with Zhao Yijian using her beauty, who was ranked third out of the outer disciples, and then, by using her connections, she had achieved the second rank of the Martial Path half a month ago.


    At this moment, Zhao Xue said something to Zhao Yijian.


    ¡°Ok, but just do not take too long.¡± Zhao Yijian nodded his head and leaned aside, not even bothering to look at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Xue walked in front of Zhao Feng and, in a complex manner, and with a little sigh, said, ¡°Brother Feng, you have finally broken through to the second rank. However, Xue¡¯er is going to give you some advice, do not be too stubborn. After entering the sect, I have realized that the place we started at is too low compared to the people here.¡±


    ¡°What do you want to say?¡± Zhao Feng broke off her sentence and responded with a cold face.


    Zhao Xue had a bit of anger of her face, but she still bit her teeth and said, ¡°Brother Feng, Xue¡¯er is going to advise you one more time, go to brother Yijian and pledge yourself to him. With his help, only then will you merge with the main Zhao sect, that way you can avoid problems¡­¡±


    Pledge? Zhao Feng laughed coldly. He wouldn¡¯t pledge to anyone in his whole life.


    Zhao Yijian had a cold aura and was extremely arrogant. Every time he saw Zhao Feng, it was with his nose in the air, as if he was too high up to bother with Feng.


    Seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s expression, Zhao Xue immediately knew his answer. They grew up together, so she understood Zhao Feng very well.


    Zhao Xue walked back to Zhao Yijian¡¯s side and murmured something.


    ¡°Hmph! He doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him, this useless garbage,¡± Zhao Yijian said in a cold voice.


    ¡°Useless garbage?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s brow furrowed.


    Maybe it because he saw Zhao Feng so unwilling, but Zhao Yijian paused and coldly said, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that you¡¯re the genius of Green Leaf village? However, at the Zhao sect, you¡¯re just a little bug! We¡¯ll meet at the Family Sparring contest and I¡¯ll beat you in just one move.¡±


    ¡°Just like what I would say, we¡¯ll meet at the contest,¡± Zhao Feng spat back bitterly and then turned towards the Martial Arts Library.


    He didn¡¯t want to keep on talking. They were bound to fight two months later, and the one with greater strength would win.


    As Zhao Xue¡¯s gaze passed by Zhao Feng, it flashed ever so slightly. At this point, she felt a strange feeling from Zhao Feng, a feeling that she couldn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°He sure thinks he¡¯s good,¡± Zhao Yijian snorted. He didn¡¯t even think of Zhao Feng as a serious opponent!


    Among the sects outer disciples, those that had entered the third rank of the Martial Path didn¡¯t exceed sixty people, and to rank third out of these, it could be seen that Yijian had some great skills up his sleeves.


    Zhao Xue gave off a deep sigh in her heart, Zhao Feng was just finding trouble for himself.


    Zhao Xue understood Zhao Yijian¡¯s strength very well. Some of the third ranks couldn¡¯t even block one move of his.


    *************************


    After a short while, Zhao Feng came to one of the sect¡¯s most important grounds, the Martial Arts Library. Therefore, it had elders guarding it.


    ¡°Branch disciple?¡± The white-clothed elder inside the Martial Arts Library looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s identity plate, and furrowed his brow.


    ¡°Great elder.¡± Zhao Feng had a polite face on, he knew the elder''s strength.


    From his left eye, he felt a mysterious force coming from the elder. It was a layer of red aura between his blood and skin, but constantly moving through his veins, and could erupt at any time. It could also attack through the air and crush metal into powder.


    Zhao Feng knew that the white-clothed elder had already cultivated his inner strength, his chi, to a high degree, and could destroy a hundred Fengs in an instant. Only those that were at the fourth rank of the Martial Path or higher could have chi!


    Zhao Xue, Zhao Kun, were Martial Learners who wouldn¡¯t have chi!


    Zhao Feng bowed and said, ¡°Elder, I want to go into the second floor of the library.¡±


    ¡°Achieving the second rank at fourteen years of age is average. However, before you become an inner disciple, I must tell you that branch disciples and main disciples have different treatments in the library,¡± the white-robed elder said.


    When Zhao Feng heard this, he paused a second, but then thought about the new rules of the sect and immediately understood. ¡°Elder, please go on.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that before having absolute power, he didn¡¯t have any right to discuss the rules.


    The white-clothed elder said with an expressionless face, ¡°Those with the second rank of the martial path can only enter the first floor of the library. The first floor of the library has a lot of low ranked martial arts, and a few middle ranked ones. Main sect disciples can choose two middle ranked martial arts, or four low ranked martial arts at most, and the limit for borrowing these is two months. Side branch disciples can only choose one middle ranked martial art, or two low ranked martial arts, and the time limit is one month.¡±


    After listening to the rules, Zhao Feng took a deep breath and said, ¡°This junior understands.¡±


    The branch disciples had only half the quantity and time of the main branch disciples.


    ¡°Ok! You can go in now, but the time limit is half an hour.¡±


    Under the white-robed elder¡¯s guidance, Zhao Feng slowly stepped into the Martial Arts Library, a place he¡¯d dreamed of coming to¡­

 5 Choosing Martial Arts Skills 1

    The Martial Arts Library was an important ground in the sect, it had collections of different martial skills gathered over hundreds of years. They were used to help those of later generations, hoping that they could expand the family.


    Usually, a sect¡¯s number and quality of martial arts determined how strong the sect would be. Zhao Feng remembered that at the Green Leaf village Zhao family, there was no Martial Art Library.


    The library was divided into three floors.


    In the first floor there was a large quantity of martial arts, but most of them were low ranked, with a few middle ranked ones there as well.


    The second floor apparently had the sect¡¯s secret and traditional techniques. Most of them were of high rank, there were even some peak ranked ones there! However, to enter the second floor one needed one to be at least at the fourth rank of the Martial Path.


    And the third floor was just a rumor, as it had never been publicly opened¡­


    For Zhao Feng, the second and third floors were just too far away, even the first floor¡¯s martial arts were something that he yearned for.


    He had no background in the sect, and a person with no background or exceptional talent could not access higher ranked martial arts. The Flaming Metal Fists he had was only a core rank martial art, and so was even weaker than a low ranked martial art.


    However, after breaking through to the second rank of the Martial path, he had the right to enter the first floor and choose a martial art.


    ¡°The Zhao sect, it is no wonder that it is one of the three big families of Sun Feather city, riding on top of several hundred other families.¡±


    Zhao Feng stepped into the first floor, his breathing quickening. He could see a few other Zhao disciples, but all of them were using their time to choose their own martial art skills.


    According to the rules, those that entered the library only had half an hour to select skills. So everyone that entered here didn¡¯t waste any time.


    ¡°I¡¯ve got half an hour and I need to choose a middle rank martial art, or two low ranked martial arts.¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath, and scanned the bookshelves.


    The first floor of the library had several thousand books, and every book was two cm thick. To find one or two martial arts among such a high number was not easy.


    ¡°Rock Breaking Palm, Angered Dragon Fist, Leaf Picking Sword, Wind-like Foot¡­¡± Different kinds of martial art skills made Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes turn colorful.


    _Shuah! Shuah!_ Zhao Feng flipped the pages of these martial art skills quickly to the first page. These martial arts usually had their summaries on the first page.


    Crazy Wing Blade Blade, like the wind, powerful like lightning, uses speed to win. Minimum requirement first rank of the Martial Path, to train this skill is average difficulty. Rank: Low.


    Angered Dragon Fists, can increase the strength of the cultivator, can put all power into one attack. Minimum requirement is second rank of the Martial Path, to train this skill is quite hard. Rank: Peak of the middle rank.


    Wind-like Foot. A close combat skill which uses speed to win. When trained to fullest potential, can fight against many people and not lose. Minimum requirements first rank of the Martial Path, but high difficulty. Rank: Middle.


    Metal Sand. Increases the defense of the body. Under full activation can go head to head with same rank opponent. Someone who can train it to a high level can use their body to defend against swords and blades. Minimum requirements second rank of the Martial Path and needs high willpower. Rank: Middle.


    *****


    _The martial arts library¡¯s skills are stronger than the core ranked skills by far, just as expected¡­_


    Zhang Feng was extremely pleased, and the skills he saw were mainly middle rank ones. After only looking through tens of books, his heart had already been moved several times.


    However, the library had restrictions. He could only take out one middle rank martial art.


    _If I could only take out a few then that would be great¡­_


    Zhao Feng felt unwilling and thought it was unfair. Branch disciples can only choose one middle martial art whereas the main disciples can choose two.


    To increase his selection speed, Zhao Feng started to use his left eye.


    With his left eye, his assessment speed increased more than tenfold¡­


    _Shuah shuah shuah¡­_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye used an incredible speed to look through these martial arts. He only needed one look to understand them all. Looking at over thirty books, Zhao Feng fully memorized the contents of them and compared them with one another.


    When he had scanned over fifty, Zhao Feng suddenly realized something was not right, and froze.


    He went back to his memories of the other books. In his mind the contents of the books appeared and not a single word was wrong or missing.


    ¡°This¡­¡± Zhao Feng felt himself trembling with excitement.


    After merging with the left eye, Zhao Feng¡¯s memory had improved as well. He only needed to look at something once and would never forget it. Especially when he activated his left eye, the contents of the books were burned into his mind.


    Zhao Feng never thought that he would achieve the power of ¡®Never Forgetting¡¯. There were many rumours about geniuses on Azure Flower Continent, and ¡®Never Forgetting¡¯ was one of the attributes they had.


    However, ¡®Never Forgetting¡¯ worked for most people in that their memory was good, they only needed to read something once and they would remember eighty to ninety percent of the contents.


    However, compared to Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®Never Forgetting¡¯, his version was clearly much stronger. He was literally not able to forget!


    With this power in the Martial Arts Library, it meant that Zhao Feng could ¡®take¡¯ more books out!


    ¡°Fast, fast, fast!¡± Zhao Feng mumbled to himself excitedly, and started to memorize all the books he could.


    _Shuah shuah shuah..._


    His concentration was pushed to the limit as he flipped through the pages of the manuals as soon as he grasped them. As long as the contents were looked at by his left eye, it didn¡¯t matter if it was words or drawings, he memorized everything. It only took Zhao Feng twenty breaths of time to fully remember a book with fifty pages.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­Never Forget! Good!¡± Zhao Feng felt great, but he seemed more and more insane as he ripped through the books. His actions caused some of the other disciples to look over.


    ¡°I think this guy¡¯s gone crazy¡­¡±


    ¡°Maybe it is his first time here and he is too excited¡­¡±


    Some of the disciples looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s actions and shook their heads.


    *******************


    Time flashed by. Twenty minutes had already passed.


    Hu!


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath. He felt tired, but it still couldn¡¯t stop his excitement.


    At this point, he had ¡®stolen¡¯ over a hundred martial arts books!


    These martial arts were mainly middle ranked martial arts. It included Fist skills, Palm skills, Sword skills, Breathing skills, Footwork skills, Defense skills and many others.


    Because Zhao Feng kept on using his left eye, his mind became tired.


    Next, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye scanned around the area and landed upon an old martial arts book. The reason why he stopped on it was because Zhao Feng felt that the materials this book was made of were different from the rest.


    Zhao Feng picked up this book and on the top were three words: Lightly Floating Ferry.


    He flipped to the first page.


    Lightly Floating Ferry, high rank martial art, can make the cultivator move through the snow without leaving marks, can drift across the river and make the person feel like a bird. When trained high enough, the person can Double Jump and even fly for short moments! Minimum requirement is second rank of the Martial Path and to train in this skill was very hard. In addition, higher chi will increase the force of the skill. Achieving the highest realm will make a person quicker than anyone else under the seventh rank of the Martial Path.


    Zhao Feng first thought that this was just an ordinary footwork skill, but after he saw Double Jump, and ¡®higher chi¡¯, his eyes twinkled.


    ¡®Double Jump¡¯ exceeded the limits of middle rank martial arts, even some high ranked ones couldn¡¯t do that! Higher chi¡¯ meant that this skill was suited for martial artists at or above the fourth rank of the Martial Path.


    And the most incredible part was: Achieving the highest realm would allow the person to have the fastest speed of everyone under the seventh rank of the Martial Path.


    ¡°What an exaggeration! Even some peak rank martial arts won¡¯t have the courage to say this.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes shone and without hesitation, he started reading the contents of Lightly Floating Ferry.


    He had a question in his heart. Why would such a strong skill be put at the bottom floor? And why would no one learn it?


    Soon, Zhao Feng found the reason.


    After flipping through a quarter of the book, the words started to blur out. The book was too old, and had started to mold.


    That meant that this book only had a quarter of its original contents.


    ¡°So unfortunate¡­¡± Zhao Feng was severely disappointed. However, he did not give up and continued to use his left eye on the blurred-out words. Using all of his power on his left eye, Zhao Feng could just about see the words under the mold, exceeding a normal human¡¯s eyesight by at least twentyfold.


    After reading two pages, Zhao Feng felt his mind grow tired and his left eye felt as if there was no power left in it.


    If I take this back I can slowly read all of its later contents, Zhao Feng thought, and then took Lightly Floating Ferry out of the first floor of the martial arts library.


    ¡°Lightly Floating Ferry? You want this book?¡± the white-robed elder asked with scrunched eyebrows.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Zhao Feng politely replied.


    ¡°This book has been around for a thousand years, and there are parts in it which exceed high rank martial arts by far.¡± After telling him this, the white-robed elder¡¯s voice turned. ¡°However, only a quarter of this book can be seen. An important note: To fully train this in skill is extremely hard, even some geniuses cannot do it. Even if they do it, under the fourth rank of the Martial Path, its potential is restricted.¡±


    At last, the white-robed elder warned, ¡°I¡¯d advise you to change your pick, or else you will never break through to the fourth rank of the Martial Path and become a true Martial Artist.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your warning, elder , but my heart is decided.¡± Zhao Feng had a calm look on his face.


    Looking at the Zhao Feng leave, the white-robed elder shook his head and said, ¡°These youths nowadays all take the highest ranked book possible.¡±


    He believed that Zhao Feng would not be able to fully learn Lightly Floating Ferry, and taking a step back, even if he could, what could a partial martial art book do?


    Leaving the Martial Arts Library, Zhao Feng returned home.


    Sitting on his bed, he closed his eyes, and on the inside of his mind the contents of around a hundred martial art books quickly surfaced¡­

 6 Choosing Martial Arts Skills 2

    Having such a big selection of martial arts gave Zhao Feng endless excitement. He couldn¡¯t hold in his happiness and laughed with his head raised. Quite a period of time passed until he calmed down.


    In Cloud Country, a middle rank martial arts skill was worth a couple hundred silver, but the money Zhao Feng received per month was only ten silver.


    Of course he couldn¡¯t take the sect¡¯s skills out and sell them. If he did that he would get punished; they would destroy his cultivation and then kick him out of the sect.


    Zhao Feng ¡®took¡¯ a hundred books out from the Martial Arts Library; most of them were high class and all of them had at least a past person train it so he could use their experience.


    However, to choose a few martial art skills from among these books wasn¡¯t easy. It was good that all of these books were fully imprinted in his mind, because he only needed one thought to compare them against one another and choose the one most suitable for him.


    A single martial art could increase his strength; with the combination of many martial arts, it could only help his cultivation.


    Zhao Feng only used half an hour to choose four skills from the hundred books. They were Lightly Floating Ferry, Angry Dragon Fists, Air Pushing Breathing Technique, and Continuous Meteorite Arrows.


    Lightly Floating Ferry was definitely the highest rank skill out of them all, and Zhao Feng had a high chance of solving the missing words.


    After that came Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique, these skills also complimented one another.


    Angry Dragon Fists was one of the peak books of the middle rank, and the damage dealt by it was high. It compressed one¡¯s strength into one strike, and the power was so incredible that it wasn¡¯t weaker than some of the high ranked martial arts. Zhao Feng had high expectations for Angry Dragon Fists because it increased one¡¯s physical strength.Strong body strength was the foundation and minimum requirements for developing chi.


    Chi was something that made someone a true Martial Artist.


    Air Pushing Breathing Technique was also a peak middle rank martial art. It developed one¡¯s body strength, blood, and body. When trained to a high level, there was a chance to understand chi.


    ¡°Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique work perfectly well together, and when used together the power of it is at least comparable to high ranked martial arts, and there is an increased chance to understand Martial Path Inner Strength.¡± Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    As for the last skill, Continuous Meteorite Arrows, it was also close to high rank.


    Why did he choose an arrow skill? This was because it worked well with Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    ¡°If I do not learn an arrow skill, then I¡¯d be sorry for my left eye¡­¡± Zhao Feng had a smile curl upon his lips.


    It could be imagined, with his left eye¡¯s abilities, he¡¯d be a natural ¡®godly archer¡¯, and if he perfected the arrows skill...


    After choosing martial arts skills, Zhao Feng started to cultivate.


    He first started with the Air Pushing Breathing Technique, as strong body and blood was the foundation of cultivation. The stronger one¡¯s blood was, the damage from Angry Dragon Fists in close combat would be stronger.


    Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng mind entered the contents of Air Pushing Breathing Technique.


    A while later, his body¡¯s blood started to move slowly¡­


    ¡°This easy?¡± Zhao Feng was shocked.


    According to the contents of Air Pushing Breathing Technique, most people that could move their blood needed at least four to five days, or even up to fifteen days.


    _Could it be that I am a genius?_


    Zhao Feng thought a bit, and then disagreed with himself. Because if he was a genius, then it wouldn¡¯t have been so hard for him to break into the second rank of the Martial Path.


    He realized that after merging with his mysterious left eye, his mind¡¯s energy had increased. His reaction speed, understanding, and analyzing speed all now exceeded that of normal people.


    When he was learning the Air Pushing Breathing Technique, a _peh peh_ sound came from the left eye.


    At the same time, in the pitch black dimension, the 67 cm radius of faint green light was spinning at an increased rate.


    ****************************


    _Half a day later..._


    Zhao Feng had trained the Air Pushing Breathing Technique to the first level and his body gave off a faintly disgusting smell of sweat.


    He felt that his body¡¯s strength had become stronger by thirty percent.


    _I did it?_ Zhao Feng felt somewhat incredulous.


    Air Pushing Breathing Technique was divided into three levels, and once one trained to the peak of the third level, there was a chance to comprehend chi.


    After another half day, Zhao Feng had already trained Air Pushing Breathing Technique to the peak of the first level, then the speed started slowing down. He changed his mind and started training in Angry Dragon Fists, which paired up with Air Pushing Breathing Technique.


    As expected, with the foundation of Air Pushing Breathing Technique, the speed of learning Angry Dragon Fists was very fast.


    In only half a day¡¯s¡¯ time, Zhao Feng learned all of the eighty-one moves to a beginner level.


    Angry Dragon Fists had extreme power, especially when used with Air Pushing Breathing Technique, the explosive strength was incredible.


    Zhao Feng clicked his tongue in astonishment.


    The most surprising part was that after learning Angry Dragon Fists, the Air Pushing Breathing Technique broke through to the second level and even went a bit further! The two skills accompanying each other had an incredible effect.


    _No wonder they¡¯re perfect for each other!,_ Zhao Feng laughed in his heart.


    For the next five days, Zhao Feng kept on learning Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Pushing Technique, and both of the skills were trained up at an incredible speed.


    At this time, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was closing to the peak of the second rank of the Martial Path.


    ¡°Just a bit longer and I can reach the peak of the second rank¡­then the third rank won¡¯t be far away, either.¡±


    Zhao Feng was full of expectations.


    ********************


    The next day, Zhao Feng left home and headed towards the martial arts field.


    This was because Lightly Floating Ferry and Continuous Meteorite Arrows needed open space to practice.


    Soon, Zhao Feng arrived in a corner of the martial arts field. This was the place where they practiced with bows and arrows.


    _Shoosh!_


    An arrow left an afterimage in the air, and shot straight into the center of the target fifty meters away.


    ¡°Great arrow skill! It is no wonder that Brother Zhao Yui is one of the sect¡¯s top three godly archers.¡±


    ¡°This arrow could probably break straight through the defense of a third rank, and even kill muscular wild beasts.¡±


    Excited shouting came from the side.


    ¡°Formidable!¡± Zhao Feng came just in time and exclaimed.


    He knew that the youth who was called Zhao Yui was famous for being a godly archer in the sect.


    _Shoosh shoosh shoosh..._


    Zhao Yui pulled the string and shot out five arrows at lightning speed, which formed a ring around the center¡¯s red dot.


    ¡°Good! Great!¡± The disciples around started cheering.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t pay any more attention because he felt that if he tried, he could also become a godly archer.


    He went to an open space and picked up a random bow. He then squinted his eyes, as if he was aiming.


    As soon as he picked up the bow the disciples around the field focused on him.


    ¡°Look¡­who¡¯s that? He looks new.¡± A disciple saw him and his eyes shone.


    ¡°Heh heh, this kid is called Zhao Feng and he came from a branch sect half a year ago. Not long ago, I heard that he offended Zhao Yijian, who is ranked third amongst the outer disciples. I also heard that his girl even left him now¡­¡± There were some who recognized Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Branch family disciple? Let us take a bet and see how many rings he can hit.¡± A few disciples looked mockingly at Zhao Feng. Even the goldly archer Zhao Yui was disturbed by this.


    ¡°Arrow skills needs talent and integrity. It is not something anyone who wants to learn can learn.¡± Zhao Yui was arrogant and faintly looked down on Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng did not bother with these people. He barely used his left eye and the target fifty meters away in his vision became bigger and bigger¡­


    _Shoosh¡ª_


    The arrow string trembled and the arrow flew through the air, barely landing on the target, but then fell off onto the ground.


    _It floated¡­_


    Zhao Feng started sweating as this was his first time using a bow.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± The disciples around the field raised their heads and laughed.


    _Again_. Zhao Feng was calm. Missing on the first arrow was normal.


    Next, he used more energy on his left arrow and merged the Continuous Meteorite Arrow skill into his heart.


    _Shoosh¡ª_


    The second arrow went straight to the target and was one ring away from the middle. Ninth ring!


    The field turned silent. Those that were laughing had their faces freeze. Even Zhao Yui¡¯s brow furrowed.


    Ninth Ring, this was already very close to the center. To shoot fifty meters away and hit this was even good for some old archers.


    ¡°Luck! This must be luck!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right! A beginner cannot shoot this accurately. His first arrow did not even hit the target.¡±


    The disciples started laughing again and looked at Zhao Feng.


    However, just before they finished their words the third arrow shot through the air.


    _Shooosh¡ª_


    The arrow shot out like lightning and hit the target.


    _Ta!_


    Dead center!


    The field turned silent once more. Even Zhao Yui was shocked. They all had confused faces and stood there frozen.


    ¡°My luck is not bad.¡± Zhao Feng gave a little smile as it was proven that he had an exceptional talent for the bow.


    ¡°Luck? What¡¯s up with this guy?¡± Most of the archers had queer faces on.


    Any archer was a beginner from the start. However, it was their first time seeing someone with such luck.


    ¡°Kid! Take another shot!¡± a few disciples said unwillingly.


    ¡°Yes! Take another shot!¡± Most of them had excited looks on and started shouting.


    Zhao Feng wanted to leave, but these people were unwilling to let him leave.


    There were a few disciples that were the third rank of the Martial Path, and most here were older than Feng.


    ¡°Fine.¡± Zhao Feng shrugged his shoulders and picked up the bow again.

 7 Luck Again?

    Helpless, Zhao Feng picked up the bow again and slowly pulled the string.


    ¡°Looks at this kid¡¯s stance, it is obvious that he is a newbie!¡±


    ¡°Hmph! If he hits the center this time, I will write my name backwards.¡±


    The archers on the field had excited faces and looked down upon Zhao Feng.


    The person in the crowd who had the highest skill was Zhao Yui. He had a face full of confidence as he stated, ¡°Archery skills are only improved by shooting infinite times. Only then will you become a peak archer.¡±


    His words made those archers around nod in agreement.


    Zhao Feng squinted his eyes, but did not use his left eye this time. If he used his left eye, it would obviously hit dead center.


    Zhao Feng decided to go low key, so he just barely used his left eye. At the same time, the Continuous Meteorite Arrows skill in his mind merged into his heart and became a part of him.


    Every part of Zhao Feng¡¯s body, even his breathing, started to have a small change.


    These changes weren¡¯t watched closely by the people. However, being an exceptional archer, Zhao Yui¡¯s eyes flashed.


    _Shoosh-_


    The bow shot out an arrow that whipped through the air, and like a meteorite, landed on the target.


    Dead center!


    ¡°Another tenth ring!¡± Zhao Feng had a wronged expression.


    This time he didn¡¯t even fully use his left eye, but only the skills of Continuous Meteorite Arrows. He thought that it was hard to get a good result, but did not know that he would still hit dead center.


    _Ah!_ He shook his head and sighed. His actions made the disciples faces go tense.


    ¡°Another dead center, what is this guy!?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s got two dead centers now, how can someone be so lucky?¡± The archers had confused expressions and were unwilling to believe.


    ¡°Ok, I have finished shooting, I am going to go now.¡± Zhao Feng patted his clothes, then put down his bow and got ready to leave.


    Looking at his back, all the archers around felt angry.


    ¡°Kid! Stop right there!¡± a cold voice came from behind.


    Zhao Feng stopped walking and turned around.


    The person who called him was Zhao Yui. He had a face full of anger and his third rank of pressured the people around him. Zhao Yui was seventeen or eighteen years old. The fact that he had higher cultivation and was also bigger than Zhao Feng added some ferocity.


    ¡°I have already shot my arrow, what else do you want me to do?¡±


    Although Zhao Yui was strong, and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any confidence in winning, it did not mean Feng was scared of him.


    ¡°You are still acting!¡± Zhao Feng snorted. ¡°You are not a beginner, you are just here to play us!¡±


    After this was said, the archers around him all came to a realization and nodded in agreement.


    ¡°No wonder this kid had so much luck, he was just a tiger pretending to be a pig!¡±


    ¡°Hmph, this guy dares to play us!¡±


    The disciples around believed Zhao Yui¡¯s words and started shouting at Zhao Feng with angry faces.


    ¡°Calm down everyone, this was indeed my first time shooting.¡± Zhao Feng shook his head; he really wasn¡¯t a tiger pretending to be a pig. To get such a good result was not something that he expected.


    Zhao Yui stared at him and twinkled his eyes: ¡°Even I got tricked by the first two arrows. However, the third arrow¡­your hand stance has obviously reached a high level. To shoot fifty meters and hit the center twice in a row. What kind of beginner has this kind of luck?¡±


    He had reason for his words. It did not matter if Zhao Feng had one hundred mouths, because he still wouldn¡¯t be able to explain.


    ¡°What do you guys want?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s face turned cold. If he could not explain, then there was no point in explaining.


    ¡°Heheh kiddo, you have the nerve to play us. So we¡¯re not gonna let you leave so easily.¡±


    The disciples around all touched their fists and more and more people came crowding in.


    ********


    ¡°Sister Yufei, that place seems popular, let us go over and see.¡±


    Some of the sect¡¯s girls were attracted by all the attention. These girls¡¯ ages were between twelve and sixteen. One of them wore a purple dress. She had a face as white as snow and seemed fragile, but her beauty was incomparable.


    ¡°Too beautiful¡­. Who is she?¡±


    One youth the same age as Zhao Feng stood dazzled and his eyes locked on to the girl.


    ¡°That¡¯s the sect new genius Zhao Yufei!¡± Most of the sect¡¯s disciples knew the girl¡¯s identity.


    ¡°She is only fifteen years old, and she is already at the peak of the third rank. She will be at the fourth rank soon and will then become a true Martial Artist.¡±


    ¡°This Zhao Yufei is not only pretty, but she also has exceptional talent.¡±


    Some youths took back their eyes and felt ashamed, as if they were not worthy of Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei wasn¡¯t only pretty, but also had a refreshing aura. She was like a flower. Even Zhao Yui¡¯s eye shone when he saw Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°It¡¯s her...¡± Zhao Feng also knew Zhao Yufei. Zhao Yufei was also a branch disciple that came over half a year ago. She had the same cultivation as Zhao Yijian, but she was younger!


    It was hard to believe that someone from the branch family, under the resources she had, could achieve such a realm.


    Maybe this was a real genius! Some things couldn¡¯t happen to normal people. For a genius however, they could happen with ease.


    When Zhao Feng previously saw Zhao Yufei, he thought that she was beautiful. Being a normal youth of the same age, it was hard not to be attracted. However, Zhao Feng knew that with his cultivation and status, he and Zhao Yu Fei were two people from different worlds.


    Seeing Zhao Yufei come over, Zhao Yui went to warmly greet her.


    Zhao Feng was composed, and looked straight at Zhao Yufei.


    If it was before, and Zhao Feng was in front of this beautiful girl genius, he would think of himself as unworthy and would be scared to even look her in the eye. Today, however, he looked straight at her.


    When he looked at her, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye subconsciously started to move. Through his left eye, Zhao Yufei¡¯s stunning figure was even clearer than before.


    _Yi!_


    Through this, Zhao Feng was shocked. Slowly, Zhao Yufei¡¯s clothes started to fade and he almost saw the snow white skin inside¡­


    Obviously, his left eye did not have see-through abilities. Even if it did, it would be incredibly weak. It was only because he had super-vision that he could see things more clearly.


    The difference was that normal people¡¯s vision stayed on something far away, whereas Zhao Feng¡¯s vision could pull it closer and look at it under ¡®zero distance¡¯. That is why there was a certain ¡®see-through¡¯ effect.


    At this time, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was pushed to its full capabilities and inside the pitch black dimension, the faint green glow spun faster.


    Suddenly, Zhao Yu Fei¡¯s clothes completely disappeared, even her body was almost fully see-through. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye saw her blood circulating, he even saw the faint purple aura inside her veins.


    ¡°Zhao Yufei¡¯s talent is so strong! She is going to have chi soon¡­¡± Zhao Feng was very surprised by this and took a long breath.


    In terms of age, she was only older than him by a year, but she had already had achievements of some height. At the Azure Flower Continent, most of the Martial Learners stayed in the third rank of the martial path forever as they were unable to understand chi and become fourth rankers.


    Zhao Yufei however, at the age of fifteen had almost completely understood the concept of Inner Strength. The days until she became a true martial artist were not far away.


    ¡°My left eye does not have a fully see-through ability, but I can still sense the blood and inner strength of those I look at.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eye jumped and this was the conclusion he came to after some thought.


    At this time, the key focus, Zhao Yufei seemed to feel something and looked towards Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng did not hide, but closed the ability of his left eye.


    Zhao Yu Fei felt weird inside her heart as she a feeling of being stripped and having all her secrets seen.


    ¡°What happened here?¡± Zhao Yufei took back her gaze and asked.


    ¡°Little sister Yu Fei, this is what happened¡­¡±


    Zhao Yui and the others exaggerated the whole incident.


    ¡°I see.¡± Zhao Yufei looked at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng knew that under these conditions he would not be able to explain.


    ¡°Kid! Because of your past actions, you have caused a crowd outrage. I will give you a chance to apologize to everyone,¡± Zhao Yui said arrogantly.


    Apologize?


    ¡°I did not do anything wrong, so why would I need to apologize?¡± Zhao Feng clicked his tongue.


    ¡°If you apologize to us, then we will let this pass,¡± Zhao Yui said like a gentlemen. He was obviously going to perform well in front of this beauty.


    ¡°Apologize? Not possible.¡± Zhao Feng said. ¡°Everything you said before was just what you thought yourselves.¡±


    When he said this, everyone, even including Zhao Yu Fei, furrowed their brows.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is a bit too arrogant.¡± Zhao Yufei now had a bad impression of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°You can argue well, can¡¯t you?¡± Zhao Yui laughed instead of getting angry. ¡°If you do not apologize, then do not think that you will be able to leave.¡± The disciples around started to close in on Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Using more to fight less?¡± Zhao Feng had a face of mockery and glanced at Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yui and his cronies¡¯ expressions all changed. In front of this genius and beautiful girl, they would obviously act as gentlemen, and using more to beat up less did not look good.


    ¡°Fine!¡± Zhao Yui¡¯s eyes twirled and had a trick up his heart. ¡°We won¡¯t use more to beat less. You won¡¯t need to apologize, but only if you can beat me in arrow skills.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Since you are both archers, use your strength to talk.¡±


    ¡°Little sister Yufei can be the judge.¡± Everyone agreed and started shouting.


    Zhao Yui laughed in his heart, this was like shooting two birds with one arrow.Through an arrow contest, he could make Zhao Feng apologise and not lose face. He could also show off his skills in front of Zhao Yufei, maybe even win her heart!


    ¡°Archery skills contest?¡± Zhao Feng felt it was helpless to say anymore, ¡°Fine, we talk with our strengths.¡±

 8 Overpowered Archery Skills

    Zhao Feng had caused a crowd outrage, so he did not even bother to explain what happened.


    ¡°Good! At least you have some guts.¡± Zhao Yui was happy since his plan succeeded this easily. He had first thought that Zhao Feng would fight back and need some encouragement, he didn¡¯t know that Feng would accept so easily.


    And when Zhao Feng lost, all he needed to do was apologize, that left some space for him to back down.


    ¡°Little sister Yufei, how about you be the judge?¡± Zhao Yui said as he smiled at Zhao Yufei.


    In terms of talent and cultivation, Zhao Yufei was one of the top in the crowd, so she had the right to judge.


    ¡°Ok.¡± Zhao Yufei nodded her head, but did not show much interest. In her opinion, Zhao Yui was ranked third in archery, so Zhao Feng could not beat him.


    Soon, the field had an open space. The crowd had increased to thirty people.


    ¡°We have little sister Yufei here today, so Zhao Yui is obviously going to use all of his skills.¡±


    All the archers were full of anticipation. Everyone had no doubt that Zhao Yui was going to win. Instead of a contest, this would rather be a performance by Zhao Yui.


    ¡°Come!¡± Zhao Yui called some youths, and they carried four targets over. Soon, the four targets were arranged in a straight line, placed in front of him. Every target had a distance of ten meters between them.


    ¡°Since there are so many people here today, I will show off my special move, Continuous Eagle Arrows.¡± Zhao Yui had a face full of smiles.


    Continuous Eagle Arrows? The disciples around all had excited faces on. Even Zhao Yufei showed a little interest.


    Before the crowd, Zhao Yui walked out in front of the four targets. Since there were four targets arranged in a straight line, using normal archery skills, an archer could only hit the one at the front.


    Zhao Yui took a deep breath and took out four arrows at once.


    _Is he going to_ ¡­


    Everyone was in shock.


    At this time, Zhao Yui¡¯s bow was pulled fully back, forming a crescent moon that faced upwards.


    Four arrows were all on the string.


    _Si!_ Everyone took a cold breath.


    _Shoosh! Shoosh! Shoosh! Shoosh! ¡ª¨C_


    Four arrows rode through the air, formed four perfect arcs, and like eagles, pounced towards their targets.


    _Pah! Pah! Pah!..._


    Almost at the same time, the four arrows hit dead center on the four targets.


    ¡°Oh my gods!¡± Everyone screamed at the sight.


    ¡°So arrows can be shot this way! They do not have to fly straight, they can curve! And due to gravity, they will fall on their targets¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye recorded the routes perfectly. The end result made his heart shake.


    Continuous Eagle Arrows!


    It took a long time before everyone finally calmed down.


    ¡°What a high level of archery skill!¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes showed some shock.


    ¡°Thanks for watching.¡± Zhao Yui saw Zhao Yufei¡¯s reaction and laughed to himself. ¡°Kid! It is your turn!¡±


    After Zhao Yui finished, all of their gazes turned towards Zhao Feng with eyes full of mockery. No one believed that Zhao Feng¡¯s archery skill would compare to Zhao Yui¡¯s.


    ¡°Hmmm¡­let me think a bit¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng picked up a bow and in his mind, Continuous Meteorite Arrows once again merged with his heart.


    He analyzed that for him to beat Zhao Yui in some traditional manner was impossible, unless he had an extra few days of time. So he couldn¡¯t use normal ways to beat Zhao Yui.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned across the sky, and then over the archery field as he decided on what he was going to do.


    ¡°Ok, I am going to start now.¡± Zhao Feng slowly took out an arrow.


    ¡°The first arrow.¡± He pulled back an arrow and shot carelessly into the sky.


    _What is this guy doing¡­_ Everyone paused.


    However, just at this time, a sound came from the sky.


    _Peh!_


    A black shadow dropped from the sky.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes turned wide because it was an eagle.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s archery skills aren¡¯t bad since he can shoot down the birds from the sky so easily.¡±


    ¡°Hmph¡­.just little tricks.¡± Zhao Yui had a face of disdain.


    Indeed, although Zhao Feng did good, it was nothing compared to his Continuous Eagle Arrows.


    _Peng! Peng!_


    Zhao Feng shot out two more arrows


    Every arrow he shot killed a bird.


    ¡°Kid! Do not show off your crappy skills, just hurry up and admit defeat, ¡± one archer said impatiently.


    ¡°Hmmm¡­my hand feels good now.¡± Zhao Feng did not bother with him, because he found the feeling just then.


    Right after, he took a deep breath, and used all of his power on his left eye. At that moment, his left eye glowed faint green.


    _Shoosh ¡ª¡ª_


    Another arrow shot through the skies, fast as lightning.


    _Tah!_


    From the sky dropped another black shadow.


    Zhao Yui laughed coldly, but did not speak.


    ¡°Oh my god! This arrow shot down two birds!¡± an archer exclaimed.


    Zhao Yui heard that and looked over. Indeed, there were two birds there.


    One Arrow, Two Birds!


    Zhao Yui¡¯s heart skipped. He never thought that Zhao Feng had such high archery skills. Even Zhao Yui did not have much confidence in doing that, it depended on luck for him.


    ¡°The sparrows body is small and flies super fast. To shoot one arrow and kill both sparrows is on par with Zhao Yui¡¯s Continuous Eagle Arrows,¡± one archer said.


    ¡°This is just an appetizer.¡± Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    The crowd¡¯s hearts skipped. Could Zhao Feng still have higher skills?


    Zhao Feng did not explain, but slowly lifted his bow and shot at a target fifty meters away.


    What did that mean? No one understood what that meant. Fifty meters was fifty paces. To shoot a target a hundred steps away, even the center, was nowhere near able to be compared with Continuous Eagle Arrows or One Arrow, Two Birds.


    _Shoosh!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s arrows sliced through the air and landed on the target one hundred meters out.


    _Peng!_


    The arrow didn¡¯t even hit the center; it only hit the outer edge.


    Zhao Feng wiped his sweat and let out a long breath.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­this arrow almost missed the target¡­¡± The disciples all started laughing.


    Zhao Yui also laughed.


    Did Zhao Feng accidentally miss? However, when they looked at Zhao Feng, he had a face full of confidence.


    Being the judge, Zhao Yufei also had a questioning face. She felt that Zhao Feng¡¯s arrow wasn¡¯t as easy as it looked.


    ¡°You go over and look,¡± Zhao Feng said full of confidence.


    The crowd walked over to see the arrow.


    On the outer edges of a target lay an arrow; it still quivered from the shot.


    Zhao Feng made an archer pull the arrow. Quickly, the arrow head was pulled out. Everyone stared at it.


    On the arrowhead was a pea-sized dead body with traces of blood¡­


    _What was this!_


    ¡°Oh my god¡­this is a fly! A fly!¡± one of the disciples screamed, shocked.


    _What!_


    Many archers eyeballs almost popped out from shock.


    ¡°Oh my god! To have a hundred step difference and kill a fly, how did he do this?¡±


    ¡°To see a fly a hundred steps away is already so hard. The fly also flies randomly¡­¡±


    ¡°How¡­.how is this possible!?¡±


    Zhao Yui¡¯s face turned white and stared at the fly¡¯s body, as if his soul was lost.


    If he was lucky he would be able to shoot two birds with one arrow, but to kill a fly from a hundred steps away was impossible for him. The fly was too small. Normal people could not even see the fly from a hundred steps away.


    The archery contest ended there. The winner was decided.


    ¡°The winner of this archery contest is Zhao Feng.¡± Zhao Yufei quickly recovered from the shock and gave Zhao Feng a complex look.


    This was her first time seriously sizing up Zhao Feng. The youth she saw was confident and had an appeal that surpassed many people of the same age.


    ¡°I can leave now, no?¡± Zhao Feng walked towards the outside.


    The crowd automatically opened a path for him. Zhao Feng¡¯s archery skills subdued them, even Zhao Yui could not say anything.


    After he walked out of the archery field, Zhao Feng let out a long breath. Today¡¯s archery session benefitted him a lot.


    As soon as Zhao Feng walked out of the archery field, cruel laughter sounded in front of him.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­Zhao Feng, I finally found you!¡± As soon as the words finished, three youths blocked Zhao Feng¡¯s way.


    The youth at the front had thick eyebrows and had a confident face. It was Zhao Kun!


    ¡°Little bastard, last time I lost to you. This time I am going to make you lose and beg for forgiveness.¡± Zhao Kun licked his lips and his eyes had a certain amount of deadliness in them.


    This time he was going to beat Zhao Feng fair and square, and also humiliate him. Only because he lost to Zhao Feng in one move last time and felt humiliated...


    Zhao Feng found that the two helpers Zhao Kun brought were both at the second rank of and were there to stop him from escaping.


    ¡°Sister Yufei, that Zhao Feng seems to have some trouble,¡± one of the girls at Zhao Yufei¡¯s side said.


    At this time, most of the people from the archery field saw the scene that was occurring.


    Zhao Yui had a gloating expression on his face¡­


    However, in front of these matters, Zhao Feng felt no fear and swiftly said, ¡°Make your move.¡±

 9 Peak of the Second Rank

    ¡°Make your move.¡±


    Zhao Kun felt like he had heard wrong, was this the same Zhao Feng as before?


    Yi!


    The moment his vision landed on Zhao Feng, his expressed changed. ¡°No wonder you¡¯re so confident. It looks like you¡¯ve broken through to the second rank of the Martial Path. However, if that¡¯s all you¡¯ve got, then you¡¯d better start begging for forgiveness now.¡±


    Zhao Kun felt a little surprised by Zhao Feng being second rank, but it didn¡¯t affect his plans. That was because Zhao Feng had reached the second rank very recently, and Zhao Kun himself had reached the peak of the second rank almost a year ago.


    He also had high ranked martial art skills!


    ¡°Please stop chattering, my time is limited,¡± Zhao Feng coldly said.


    ¡°Kid! Don¡¯t be arrogant!¡±


    Zhao Kun suddenly turned his four limbs and body into a familiar and still weird stance, and like a poisonous snake, lunged towards Zhao Feng.


    In a flash, Zhao Kun used his Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake. In terms of speed and power, he far exceeded Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Kun has probably already trained the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake to a low level.¡± On the archery field, Zhao Yufei had a moved and slightly shocked face. Being one of the sect geniuses, she obviously had major support from the sect and so naturally had access to high rank martial art skills.


    The higher the rank of a skill was, the harder it was to train in it. Once a high rank skill had been trained to the low level, it would have more power than a middle ranked skill trained to a high level.


    _What speed! The damage is at least fifty percent higher than before!_ Zhao Feng was also surprised by Zhao Kun, but his left eye¡¯s reaction speed could still see the route of Zhao Kun¡¯s move.


    _Angry Dragon flipping the River!_ Zhao Feng stomped both feet downwards. Under the Air Pushing Breathing Technique, he put power into both of his arms.


    Zhao Kun suddenly realized that his opponents power was rapidly increasing. He became more shocked as Zhao Feng put even more power into Angry Dragon flipping the River.


    The third stance of Angry Dragon Fists ¨C Angry Dragon flipping the Rivers!


    At that moment, Zhao Feng was like a dragon as his fists punched downwards.


    _Peh!_


    The first punch made Zhao Kun¡¯s body shudder and almost caused him to spit out blood.


    His Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake was about cunningness and flexibility. Its forte wasn¡¯t in fighting straight on. Zhao Feng¡¯s fists felt like they knew where he was going to move and always hit his weak spots.


    _Peh peh peh_ ¡ª¡ª


    Using Air Pushing Breathing Technique, Zhao Feng had already trained Angry Dragon flipping the River¡± to high level.


    ¡°Ahhhhh¡­!¡± Zhao Kun was hit by the outstanding power and landed on the ground, kneeling. His arms felt numb and blood was leaking from his mouth.


    ¡°You¡¯ve lost.¡± Zhao Feng left without another glance at Zhao Kun or his two helpers.


    As they¡¯d fought, Zhao Feng had used his left eye and clearly seen Zhao Kun¡¯s attacking routes. He had also seen some errors in Zhao Kun¡¯s high rank martial art, which meant that it was yet to be perfected.


    Zhao Feng felt that Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique complemented one another to an unimaginable degree. He could probably beat some third rank people.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­my skill is a high ranked one!¡± Zhao Kun crawled on the ground and screamed.


    The whole fight only lasted for two breaths.


    One move! Zhao Kun lost!


    The disciples in the archery field looked on in shock.


    Although they had the same rank, to win in one move was too exaggerated, especially when the loser had used a high rank skill.


    As she followed Zhao Feng away with her eyes, Zhao Yufei murmured, ¡°I know Angry Dragon Fists, it¡¯s a powerful move within the sect and could be comparable to high ranked skills, but it is very hard to learn. I think he also trains in another skill and used it with Angry Dragon Fists, which allowed the power to almost double.¡±


    ¡°Sister Yufei, how did Zhao Kun lose when his cultivation and skill were both higher?¡± a girl next to her asked.


    ¡°Moves are dead, but people are alive. Zhao Kun¡¯s use of the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake was extremely bad and he has only learned the first three moves, which is far off from his older brother Zhao Gan. Also, his battle awareness is nowhere near that of Zhao Fengs.¡± Zhao Yufei then paused for a bit before she said, ¡°Also, Zhao Feng has learned two skills that are very close to being high ranked ones, and trained them to a very high level. Under the usage of those two skills, his strength exceeded that of Zhao Kun.¡±


    After the girl listened to Zhao Yu Fei¡¯s analysis, she exclaimed, ¡°Zhao Feng is so strong!¡±


    ¡°Haha¡­apparently Zhao Kun¡¯s brother Zhao Gan is ranked fifth amongst the outer disciples. We just do not know if he will help his brother take revenge.¡±


    ******


    ¡°So much trouble!¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head and left the martial arts field. It wasn¡¯t long before he arrived at an open forest in the sect.


    He came here to train in the most mysterious footwork skill ¨C Lightly Floating Ferry.


    Lightly Floating Ferry was, without a doubt, the skill with the highest rank amongst those he had. The problem was that it was partially ruined and was very hard to learn.


    ¡°When Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique are used together the damage is awesome. I just do not know how good Lightly Floating Ferry will be.¡± Zhao Feng was full of expectations.


    Immediately, he started to meditate on Lightly Floating Ferry. When he concentrated, the faint green glow inside his left eye¡¯s pitch black dimension spun faster and faster.


    Zhao Feng felt that Lightly Floating Ferry¡¯s moves were burned into his mind, which made it easier for him to understand them. It was not as simple to learn as Angry Dragon Fists or Air Pushing Breathing Technique.


    ¡°Lightly Floating Ferry is harder to learn than a peak middle ranked skill by at least two or three times¡­¡± he concluded after he compared the skills.


    Although it was hard, it did not stump him. Zhao Feng only needed three days to understand the first quarter of of Light Floating Ferry at a beginner standard.


    He only used six days to achieve the beginner level.


    Normal skills had four ranks that depended on how well trained one was in it. These were: Beginner, Low, High, and Peak level.


    Beginner level equaled thirty percent of the maximum power of the skill.


    Low level equaled fifty percent.


    High level equaled seventy percent.


    Peak level equaled ninety percent or higher.


    Zhao Feng had easily trained Angry Dragon Fists to High level.


    Lightly Floating Ferry had been trained to beginner level in the same amount of time, but it was only the first quarter of the skill.


    _Sou!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body flashed, his body as light as a bird as he floated five meters up in the air.


    _Teng! Teng!_


    His feet pushed off the branches and felt fabulous as he flew.


    At that moment, Zhao Feng was like a bird happily flying through the forest.


    _I have only trained Lightly Floating Ferry to the beginner level, but the speed of it far surpasses most middle ranked skills that have been trained to a high level._


    It could be seen that Lightly Floating Ferry far exceeded most high ranked martial art skills!


    When there was extra time, Zhao Feng did not forget to slowly decipher the rest of the book. Now he had deciphered half of the total book. The only problem was that it took a lot of mental energy to do so.


    After Lightly Floating Ferry reached a beginner level, Zhao Feng started to train in Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique again. This was because Lightly Floating Ferry only helped with his footwork and didn¡¯t increase his cultivation much, even though it was a high rank martial art skill.


    After training in a high rank skill such as Lightly Floating Ferry and then going back to training Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique, Zhao Feng felt that his movements had become easier and smoother.


    ********


    _After two days..._


    Air Pushing Breathing Technique had broken through to its third level, and Angry Dragon Fists had reached the peak level.


    At this time, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and felt the power that coursed through his body. His strength was greater than when he first reached the second rank by more than half. Inside his left eye¡¯s dimension, the radius of the faint green glow had extended from 67cm to 98cm.


    ¡°It looks like my cultivation has reached the peak of the second rank. I just need one more step to break through into the third rank.¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath and controlled his excitement.


    It had only been half a month since he reached the second rank. This cultivation speed was just too surprising!


    The thing that made him most astonished was the Air Pushing Breathing Technique as it reached the third level. Once Air Pushing Breathing Technique reached the peak of the third level there was a chance to understand Martial Path Inner Strength, chi, and that was the key point for becoming a true Martial Artist.


    Zhao Feng never expected that he would reach the third level of Air Pushing Breathing Technique this fast. This made his strength far surpass the others who were also at the second rank. He could now be compared to a third rank!


    By only using half a month, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had doubled. All of this was due to the mysterious eye.


    Zhao Feng believed that his once normal destiny was changing¡­


    That night, Zhao Feng started to set his life goals.


    His first goal was to perform well at the family sparring contest one and a half months in the future. At that time he would fairly and squarely beat Zhao Yijian and spar with the true geniuses of Sun Feather City.


    ¡°The change in my left eye grants me a high level of understanding, and the only thing stopping me from becoming a genius in the sect is¡­cultivation resources,¡± Zhao Feng analyzed.


    Since he merged with his left eye, his mental energy and analysis speed had increased. He also became calmer and steadier.


    The only problem was, how to gain cultivation resources? Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation speed was fast, but it was still hard to break past the peak of the second rank. However, if he had enough resources, this barrier could be easily broken through.


    ¡°Got it!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled and soon he had an idea. His lips curled into a confident smile.

 10 Sky Cloud Fores

    _Night._ _Inside a fancy building at the Zhao Sect..._


    ¡°Elder brother! You¡¯ve got to help me! Zhao Feng is just a lowly branch disciple and he made me lose face!¡± Zhao Kun bit his teeth and said with murderous intent. He had lost twice in a row to a branch disciple, he did not have the face to leave his house.


    ¡°Trash!¡±


    Inside the room sat a slim, leopard-like, short-haired youth. This was Zhao Kun¡¯s older brother, Zhao Gan.


    ¡°Elder brother, I am begging you. You have got to help me.¡±


    Zhao Kun was full of fear and hatred.


    He was afraid of his brother. Ever since he was born, Zhao Gan had bullied him. He felt useless as Zhao Gan was always better than him at everything.


    Zhao Gan had now reached the peak of the third rank of the Martial Path and had already trained the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake to the sixth change, which allowed for him to rank in the top 5 of the outer sect disciples.


    Even five Zhao Kuns weren¡¯t his brother¡¯s opponent.


    **********


    _The morning of the next day..._


    Zhao Feng got out of bed early and started to practice Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique. These two martial art skills were the ones that Zhao Feng mainly trained in.


    ¡°I still have some way until I reach the the third rank of the Martial Path.¡±


    Zhao Feng practiced for half an hour and acted on yesterday''s plans, walking towards the money room of the sect.


    According to the rules, Zhao Feng could get ten pieces of silver per month.


    _I haven¡¯t taken this month¡¯s money yet._ Zhao Feng soon arrived at the money room.


    **************


    ¡°Zhao Feng, second rank of the Martial Path, branch disciple, monthly money of twenty silver,¡± the accountant said expressionlessly.


    Twenty pieces of silver? Zhao Feng took the money and gave his thanks. After reaching the second rank, his monthly allowance had doubled.


    Although a monthly allowance of twenty silver could let a whole family eat and sleep without worrying, it was nothing for martial artists. Some expensive cultivation resources that could increase one¡¯s cultivation speed and help break through realms easily exceeded thousands of pieces of silver. Any of the resources rich disciples ate casually exceeded thirty years of normal disciples¡¯ allowances.


    ¡°Twenty pieces of silver¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and holding his silver, left the Zhao sects territory and headed towards the market of Sun Feather City.


    He used to give the money he got to his parents to help them out. This time however, he did not do that. Instead he took the silver and left.


    Soon after, Zhao Feng stepped into Sun Feather¡¯s City¡¯s largest market.


    **********


    _A weapon¡¯s shop in the city..._


    ¡°Shopkeeper, how much is this Heavy Metal Bow?¡± Zhao Feng finally decided after taking a long time.


    ¡°This Heavy Metal Bow is extremely powerful. It can shoot up to one hundred and fifty meters. Twenty pieces of silver, no bargaining,¡± the shopkeeper said as he smiled. He had seen the Zhao sect symbol on Zhao Feng¡¯s clothes.


    In Sun Feather City the Zhao sect, Qiu sect, and the Xin sect were the three largest families and had total dominance within the city.


    ¡°Twenty pieces of silver?¡±


    Zhao Feng raised his eyebrow and deeply said, ¡°Can it be a little cheaper?¡±


    The shopkeeper smiled faintly. ¡°Fine, I will give you the lowest price, eighteen pieces of silver.¡±


    ¡°Fifteen! I am low on money, but when I get more I will double the money and give it to you,¡± Zhao Feng said honestly.


    ¡°Fifteen pieces? That¡¯s probably a bit low, there is almost no profit¡­¡± The shopkeeper seemed to have a little difficulty, but upon seeing the honesty in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, he bit his lip. ¡°Fine, hopefully you keep your promise because this shop is also under the Zhao sect¡¯s territory.¡±


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Zhao Feng said gratefully. He never realized that this shop was under the Zhao sect.


    Quickly, Zhao Feng bought the bow at a price of fifteen silver and also bought some arrows and food with the remainder of his cash. He had no money left.


    ¡°Hopefully I won¡¯t fail¡­¡± Zhao Feng murmured to himself, and soon after left Sun Feather City.


    *************************************


    _Teng!_


    As soon as he left Sun Feather City, Zhao Feng used Lightly Floating Ferry to move. His speed was even faster than most normal horses.


    Two hours later, Zhao Feng arrived at his destination, the Sky Cloud Forest.


    The Sky Cloud Forest was the County of Clouds¡¯ biggest forest. Its area extended into over ten other countries.


    Being the largest forest of the surrounding countries, the Sky Cloud Forest had many dangerous wild beasts, and near the center of it there were high level deadly beasts.


    Deadly beasts were far stronger than wild beasts. They had been affected by spiritual energy, and had therefore slowly changed into powerful beings. A few strong deadly beasts could easily destroy a village. Only true Martial Artists could fight them.


    Zhao Feng came to the forest, obviously not to try finding deadly beasts as he still wanted to live. His goal was simple, hunting to earn money!


    Some strong wild beasts inside the Sky Cloud Forest had expensive furs and other materials. A fully grown bear could sell for two to three hundred silver.


    However, a fully-grown bear¡¯s strength far exceed normal second rankers. Only third rankers could win against it.


    Obviously, Zhao Feng¡¯s target wasn¡¯t a bear or large wild beast.


    _Although large wild beasts are worth a lot of money, their mass is too big. I cannot carry many back and forth._ Zhao Feng had already made his plans.


    _Teng!_


    His body was like a feather as he used the branches to propel himself forward. Soon, Zhao Feng landed on top of a hundred-meter tall tree. This tree was higher than its surroundings, giving Zhao Feng an excellent lookout point.


    If he hadn¡¯t learned Lightly Floating Ferry, being at this height would have made his heart race.


    As he stood on the tree, Zhao Feng used his left eye to survey his surroundings.


    _Shuah!_


    His left eye went into super-vision mode. Anything within ten kilometers was clearly seen by him.


    Zhao Feng first had to confirm whether there were any dangerous wild or deadly beasts around. Soon Zhao Feng understood the situation within that area.


    There were twenty beasts that threatened him, and only one of them was close to him. Luckily, there weren¡¯t any deadly beasts.


    ¡°I am starting now.¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath, then slowly pulled out his Heavy Metal Bow.


    _Shou-----_


    As the bow string trembled, the arrow hit a golden-spotted snake one hundred meters away below him.


    _Si!_


    The golden-spotted snake jumped up and hissed in a fearsome manner. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s arrow skills were perfect, and directly hit its vitals. The golden-spotted snake thrashed wildly, but soon died.


    ¡°Golden Striped Snake, super poisonous beast that can threaten even third rankers.¡± Zhao Feng slightly let out a breath and wiped his sweat off his brow. If they were fighting straight on, the Golden Striped Snake had a high chance of killing him as it was extremely fast and poisonous.


    However, Zhao Feng had also gained a lot. The snake¡¯s teeth and liver were extremely expensive.


    After killing the snake, Zhao Feng continued to use his left eye to find new targets.


    _Shou ----------_


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng heard a screech in mid air.


    A metal-mouthed eagle, with a wingspan of one meter, easily killed a wolf of the second rank.


    Zhao Feng had a solemn face. The metal-mouthed eagle was called a Metal Beak Eagle, and was extremely famous in the Sky Cloud Forest. Its strength easily exceeded that of normal second rankers and it flew freely in the air. It had almost no natural enemies.


    _Metal Beak Eagles are extremely fast. Its feathers and defense are also strong. It is almost a deadly beast. One would be worth seven to eight hundred pieces of silver,_ Zhao Feng thought as he used his left eye to target the eagle.


    This time, he took out an arrow coated with poison.


    _Zhi~_


    The Heavy Metal Bow was soon pulled to its limit¡­

 11 Green Headed Tiger King

    _Shoosh¡ª¨C_


    An afterimage was left behind as the arrow pierced through the air, heading towards the flying Metal Beak Eagle. This arrow was shot using the Continuous Meteorite Arrows skill and followed the route set by his left eye.


    ¡°Screeeeech¡ª¡ª-¡±


    An angry screech was heard coming from the eagle. Zhao Feng then saw the eagle charge towards him, with the arrow still lodged in its stomach.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Seeing this, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed and he quickly used Lightly Floating Ferry to escape towards the underbrush. Although Zhao Feng¡¯s arrow had hit the target, it did not hit any vital parts.


    The Metal Beak Eagle¡¯s reaction, flying speed and defense all far surpassed that of normal beasts. It was on par with deadly beasts. The arrow had not caused any life threatening damage!


    _Teng!_


    Zhao Feng was like an agile bird as he flew through the forest. Nevertheless, his left eye did not forget to lock onto the the eagle.


    _Shou¡ª¡ª-_


    Another arrow was shot out. However, although this arrow hit the eagle in the throat, it did not manage to pierce through its feathers.


    _The throat is usually the weakness of normal beasts. From the fact that it did not pierce through, it can be seen that the defense of this eagle is insane._


    Zhao Feng stalled for a little while and then saw the Metal Beak Eagle fall towards the ground. This was because the arrows that Zhao Feng had shot contained poison, and it had finally killed the eagle.


    Zhao Feng let out a deep breath and smiled happily. This Metal Beak Eagle was worth seven to eight hundred silver.


    Adding in the Golden Striped Snake, Zhao Feng¡¯s wealth now exceeded a thousand pieces of silver. He had never possessed such wealth in his entire life.


    ¡°However, the silver I have is still not enough for me to buy precious resources.¡± Although Zhao Feng was excited, he quickly calmed down.


    ***************************


    For the next three days, Zhao Feng traveled around inside the Sky Cloud Forest, hunting. Every time Zhao Feng pulled back his bowstring, a scream of pain would soon follow.


    ¡°Five Poison Centipede, extremely poisonous. Can be used to make wine and strengthen one¡¯s body. Worth two-hundred silver¡­¡±


    ¡°Green Wind Bird, strength is around the peak of the third rank. Worth nine-hundred silver¡­¡±


    ¡°Black-spotted Wild Pig, strength approaching the third rank. Worth four-hundred silver¡­¡±


    To kill as many beasts as possible, Zhao Feng used Lightly Floating Ferry and Continuous Meteorite Arrows to the highest degree possible. Through these efforts, Lightly Floating Ferry had been trained to low level. His speed probably exceeded all of the sects third rankers and was now close to the fourth rankers.


    Continuous Meteorite Arrows had easily been trained to the peak of the high level. Zhao Feng could not help but think that he was a born archer. If he were to face the Metal Beak Eagle again, he would only needed one hit to kill it.


    For the last three days, he had gained a lot. He had killed another two Metal Beak Eagles, as well as eight other different beasts.


    ¡°The beasts I now have are, in total, worth three to four thousand silver.¡± Zhao Feng had a satisfied expression on his face as he organized his two big bags.


    On the way back he still used his left eye to hunt prey. This was because his vision was blocked by trees so he could not guarantee that there weren¡¯t any targets that he would otherwise miss.


    _Roar¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª_


    A powerful roar came from the north side of Sky Cloud Forest. This roar made Zhao Feng ears burst with pain.


    ¡°What kind of beast is this? It¡¯s so powerful.¡± Zhao Feng quickly used his left eye and saw that, seven kilometers away, there was a five-meter long Green Headed Tiger King.


    The Green Headed Tiger King was bigger than normal tigers by half again, and gave off a devastating aura. Its roar caused all the animals within a ten kilometer radius to tremble with fear.


    Five or six youths, who had cultivations between the second and third rank of the Martial Path, were running away in fear.


    ¡°Everyone run in different directions!¡±


    The leader of the group was a youth who had a scarred face. He seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years of age and had reached the peak of the third rank. He held a long sword that could easily cut a tree in half and moved to stall the tiger.


    _Boom!_


    The tiger waved his paws and a tree shattered.


    ¡°The strength of deadly beasts is so dangerous,¡± Zhao Feng thought. Once a wild beast entered the ranks of a deadly beast, only Martial Artists of the fourth rank or higher could fight them. The strength of the tiger king could flatten two or three Zhao Fengs in one swipe.


    ¡°Xin Fei! Watch out!¡± some of the youths yelled. The Green Headed Tiger King was heading straight towards the scarred face youth, who had the greatest strength.


    ¡°They¡¯re surnamed Xin? Are they disciples of the Xin family, which is also one of the top three families of Sun Feather City?¡± Zhao Feng quickly saw the symbols on their clothes which confirmed his guess.


    _Boom¡ª¡ª_


    Everywhere the Green Headed Tiger King passed, destruction soon followed, as if nothing could withstand its might.


    Normal Martial Learners would probably have died due to fear. Zhao Feng realized that this Xin Fei was extremely strong. He had learned a knife throwing skill and a footwork skill, and they were both high rank martial arts. ¡°This Xin Fei¡¯s knife can easily slice through trees. His strength is probably double that of normal third rank cultivators. He is probably even stronger than Zhao Yijian!¡±


    ¡°Quickly! Save Xin Fei!¡± Two other disciples of the Xin family took out their bows and attacked the Green Headed Tiger. However, all their attacks did was stall it and disperse the tigers concentration.


    The tigers defense was stronger than the Metal Beak Eagle¡¯s by two or three times, so all the attacks that came from cultivators beneath the fourth rank only felt like a tickle.


    _If I can kill this Green Headed Tiger King, it will probably be worth around twenty to thirty thousand silver, which is the worth of around forty beasts_ , Zhao Feng thought out a dangerous plan.


    _Teng! Teng!¡­_


    He immediately used Lightly Floating Ferry and closed in on the location of the fight. As Zhao Feng arrived, the six disciples of the Xin family were under great pressure.


    ¡°Cracking Wind Sword!¡±


    Xin Fei eye¡¯s flashed as he used his long sword to stab towards the forehead of the tiger.


    What a dangerous sword! Zhao Feng saw the entire prowess of the sword, its power could instantly kill two normal cultivators of the third rank. Not even he would be able to block it. He also felt the faint green aura inside of Xin Fei¡¯s body. This was the sign that Inner Strength would soon be formed.


    _Shuah¡ª¡ª_


    The sword was able to cut half an inch into the Green Headed Tiger King¡¯s head, but the force of it made Xin Fei vomit blood. His sword¡¯s strength came close to the damage dealt by a fourth ranker. It was even able to hurt a deadly beast!


    _Roar¡ª¡ª_


    The Green Headed Tiger King howled and then moved towards Xin Fei at an even greater speed. Xin Fei had reached the peak of the third rank and by using his high rank martial art skill, he dodged the attack. However, his sword attack also used up a lot of energy, almost falling victim to the tiger¡¯s counterattack.


    ¡°Cracking Wind Sword!¡± Covered with blood, Xin Fei once again used the same move and left another bloody mark on the tiger¡¯s forehead.


    His body was once again sent flying.


    _Roar!_


    The Green Headed Tiger King opened its jaws and leapt towards Xin Fei. The latter was exhausted and could not dodge.


    ¡°Xin Fei!¡± the other disciples screamed, but just at this moment-


    _Sou¡ª¨C_


    An arrow whipped through the air, straight through the branches and leaves, hitting the tiger.


    _Roar¡ª¡ª¨C_


    The tiger mournfully howled. At that moment, every living thing trembled. The Xin disciples looked on in a daze as one of its eyes had been shot by an arrow. Although the defense of the tiger was strong, its eyes were its weakest part.


    Because the tiger turned around to find the culprit, Xin Fei was able to escape. However, as it surveyed its surroundings, where was the culprit?


    ¡°So close!¡± Zhao Feng hid behind a towering, ancient tree, which was only one hundred meters away from the tiger.


    As the tiger was trying to find the culprit, the Xin family disciples started to run. However, since the tiger could not find its target, it started to attack in a more frenzied manner.


    ¡°Ahhhhhh¡­¡±


    There was a scream as one of the youths of the second rank was ripped into shreds. This view made Zhao Feng, who wasn¡¯t far away, feel cold.


    Just as another of the Xin family disciples were in danger... _Sou¡ª¡ª¡ª-_


    Another arrow came flying through the air, piercing towards the tiger¡¯s other eye.


    _Roar!_


    The tiger roared and then closed its eyes, the arrow was barely able to scratch its eyelids.


    ¡°Ai¡­¡± Zhao Feng sighed as he shook his head.


    It wasn¡¯t that his archery skills weren¡¯t high enough, it was because the tiger was on guard, making it hard for the same trick to succeed again.


    ¡°Cracking Wind Sword!¡±


    Using the short time gap, Xin Fei quickly powered up another sword attack and hit the same spot as before.


    ¡°Good chance.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as he drew more arrows and fired them. Every time he shot an arrow, it would hit the injury on the tiger¡¯s forehead.


    Eventually, the tiger¡¯s attack rate slowed down. Firstly, it was because it was severely injured. Secondly, there was poison on the arrows.


    Weakening rapidly, the tiger turned and ran towards the deep sections of Sky Cloud Forest.


    ¡°Follow!¡± The Xin disciples bit their teeth and vowed to kill the tiger in order to avenge their peers.


    Although the tiger was severely injured, its speed was not something that cultivators of the second and third rank could catch up to. Only Xin Fei was barely able to catch up, but as he was exhausted he did not have much spare energy.


    ¡°Hahaha! What a good chance! Where are you going to run?¡± Zhao Feng laughed as he used Lightly Floating Ferry to easily catch up to the tiger.


    In his eyes, the tiger represented an enormous wealth of twenty to thirty thousand silver¡­

 12 Splitting the money

    ¡°Look! That person seems to be one of the Zhao family disciples!¡±


    The other Xin disciples spotted Zhao Feng, who was chasing the tiger. Xin Fei looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s back and murmured, ¡°What a high level of footwork! His speed is no slower than mine when I go full out! His archery skills are not bad either¡­¡±


    ¡°Hmph! He¡¯s just a guy who fires arrows! He better not let us catch up, or else¡­¡± another youth, who was at the third rank, said coldly. This youth¡¯s strength was lower than Xin Fei.


    His words were immediately agreed upon by the others ¡°You are right! That kid let us be the bait and fired his own arrows while hiding!¡±


    ¡°Xin Gang, that person saved our lives,¡± Xin Fei shook his head in disagreement.


    Just at this moment, a few kilometers out, the last roar of the Green Headed Tiger sounded. The expressions of the Xin family disciples changed. Without even thinking about it, they knew that the tiger must have died.


    ¡°Quick!¡± the youth named Xin Gang charged towards the direction of the sound.


    *********************


    _Hu!_


    Zhao Feng leaned against a tree and breathed heavily. Down below, the five meter long tiger had a few arrows stuck in its forehead. Not long ago, the tiger was a ferocious being. Now however, it had no life left¡­


    Zhao Feng on instinct tried to take out another arrow, but then realized that there were none left.


    _Teng!_


    Zhao Feng floated towards the corpse and went into deep thought.


    _Shua!_


    His left eye locked in on the Xin disciples who were now three km out. Zhao Feng stood still and did not move to touch the corpse. It wasn¡¯t that he did not want to, it was just a bit hard for him to do so.


    The tiger¡¯s body weighed around three tons and was hard to move. Also, the tiger¡¯s skin was tough to cut.


    Soon enough, the five Xin disciples arrived.


    ¡°Kid! Move quickly! This is ours!¡± Xin Gang, who was at the front, arrogantly shouted. He was wary of Zhao Feng¡¯s strength at first, but when he saw that Zhao Feng was only a second ranker, he obviously didn¡¯t put Zhao Feng in his eyes anymore. Although they had lost one person, and Xin Fei was exhausted, they still had two people of the second rank and two more of the third.


    Zhao Feng stood his ground and mockingly looked at Xin Gang. He was only wary of Xin Fei.


    ¡°Xin Gang! He saved our lives! We can discuss how to split the tiger,¡± Xin Fei said slowly as he arrived.


    Zhao Feng looked at him approvingly. ¡°Just what I thought. The tiger corpse is this big, and I do not have to tools to cut it, nor the strength to carry it away.¡±


    Xin Fei had put a lot of power into killing this tiger. They had also lost one person. Although Xin Gang was somewhat unwilling, he still agreed. Soon they started discussing how to split the tiger.


    ¡°Two-eight. The Xin family will take eight,¡± Xin Gang said with an iron tone.


    ¡°Hmph! Twenty percent is already too much for this kid!¡± The rest of the Xin family all had faces full of disdain.


    ¡°Two-eight? _Hahaha_ ¡­¡± Zhao Feng laughed immediately.


    ¡°Kid! What are you laughing about? I want to hear how much you want to take!¡±


    ¡°Two-eight. I get eight¡­.. You get two!¡± Zhao Feng shot back. At first he wanted to split it fifty-fifty, but he did not think that the Xin family would have such an attitude.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be arrogant! I¡¯ll see how strong you are!¡± Xin Gang laughed and pulled out his sword.


    ¡°Stop!¡± Xin Fei tried to stop him but it was too late.


    ¡°Illusion Wind After-Image!¡± Xin Fei was like a wind that whirled towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°It is the high rank martial art, Broken Wind Sword!¡±


    ¡°That kid is dead now. Xin Gang had already trained the first six moves of Broken Wind Sword to the low level.¡± The Xin disciples had sympathetic expressions.


    ¡°Small tricks!¡±Zhao Feng didn¡¯t retreat but instead moved forward.


    What speed! Everyone, including Xin Fei, only saw Zhao Feng turn into a blur.


    Not good! Xin Gang¡¯s Illusion Wind After-Image missed and Zhao Feng was closing in on him at an insane speed.


    ¡°Angry Wind After-Image!¡± Xin Gang shouted as he used another attack.


    _Angry Dragon Breaking the Sky!_ Zhao Feng put all of his strength into his fists. The moment he merged Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique together, his power more than doubled.


    ¡°What strength!¡± Xin Gang felt as if a volcano was erupting. Zhao Feng¡¯s strength almost surpassed the strength of third rankers.


    _Peh!_


    A loud explosion sounded as Xin Gang and Zhao Feng clashed.


    _Wah!_


    Xin Gang spit blood as he was hit by the first punch. The second punch.


    Bang! His silver sword was knocked flying.


    The third punch.


    _Boom¡ª¡ª¡ª_


    His whole body flew out and left an imprint of him on a tree.


    What power! So strong!


    The other Xin disciples stood there dazed. They never thought that someone who had the power of the peak of the third rank would lose in one move to a second rank Zhao sect disciple.


    ¡°Strong.¡± Xin Fei, who wasn¡¯t far away, asked, ¡°May I know your name?¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡± Zhao Feng casually took back his fists.


    ¡°Kid! You were just lucky this time!¡± Xin Gang crawled up from the ground. ¡°I¡¯ve been fighting the tiger and am exhausted. Next time you won¡¯t have such luck.¡±


    ¡°Luck?¡± Zhao Feng gave off a faint smile. Although Xin Gang was injured, Zhao Feng believed that he could still beat him at his peak. The only one he was wary of was Xin Fei.


    Xin Fei¡¯s strength had almost reached the fourth rank. When he used all of his strength it could even damage the Green Headed Tiger King, not to mention third rankers.


    ¡°Xin Gang! You are not his opponent! Do you not think that you have already lost enough face?¡± Xin Fei slowly turned towards Zhao Feng. Suddenly, his body gave off a frightening fighting will.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped, ¡°Did Xin Fei already recover?¡±


    Of course, if Xin Fei did not have sixty-percent of his strength, then Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t afraid of him. After being in such a state, it was obvious that Xin Fei had yet to fully recover.


    ¡°Your fist skill has almost reached the peak level and your footwork is incredible. Next time I would like to spar with you.¡± Xin Fei looked Zhao Feng in the eye, his words full of praise.


    ¡°Sure, we will spar next time.¡± Although Zhao Feng was wary of him, it did not mean that he was scared. Xin Fei¡¯s strength was at least on par with Zhao Yijian, who was ranked third amongst the outer disciples. If Zhao Feng could beat Zhao Yijian, then he would have the ability to fight Xin Fei!


    Soon they finished discussing how to split their rewards.


    ¡°Six-four. Me six, you guys four,¡± Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°Ok.¡± Xin Fei was the one that answered as the other Xin disciples did not have the courage to respond. They were wary of Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.


    Zhao Feng nodded to himself, giving 40% away was like shooting two birds with one arrow. First, he did not have any tool to cut or move the corpse, so he just let the others do the work. Secondly, he did not want to make that many enemies before he had enough strength.


    Imagine if he took it all of it for himself. Would that not cause the eyes of the others to go red?


    The tiger was dissected one hour later.


    Zhao Feng took the most expensive parts and left all of the meat to the Xin disciples. After confirming that he took sixty percent he quickly left.


    ¡°Hmmm¡­the Zhao sect seems to have a new genius. Even Zhao Linlong wasn¡¯t as strong as him at the same level of cultivation,¡± Xin Fei said as his eyes followed Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Linlong!¡± Xin Gang had an expression of awe. ¡°He is one of the four geniuses of Sun Feather City! He reached the fourth rank two years ago and became a true Martial Artist! How can this kid be compared to him?¡±


    The four great geniuses were the top youths of Sun Feather City. Any one of them were true Martial Artists and they were stronger than other Martial Artists by far.


    ¡°Do not even mention Zhao Linlong, even brother Fei could kill that kid in one blow.¡±

 13 Third Rank of the Martial Path

    Half a day later, Zhao Feng carried three massive bags as he entered Sun Feather City.


    ****************


    _At a shop in Sun Feather City that sold beast skins..._


    ¡°Black-spotted Wild Pig, teeth, paws. Worth a total of three hundred and fifty nine silver.¡±


    ¡°Gold-Spotted Snake, worth four hundred and twenty silver.¡±


    ¡°Five Poison Centipede. Worth two hundred and ten silver.¡±


    The shopkeeper expressionlessly calculated the prices.


    ¡°Metal Beak Eagle¡­yi!¡± The face of the shopkeeper changed. The Metal Beak Eagle was a beast that had almost entered the ranks of deadly beasts. It defense was strong and it was hard to catch. Even some cultivators of the fourth rank could not catch them.


    Due to this, the price of Metal Beak Eagles exceeded that of other beasts of the same rank.


    ¡°Metal Beak Eagle¡­three of them¡­.worth eleven hundred silver,¡± the shopkeeper said after pausing for a second.


    Eleven hundred silver? Zhao Feng was a little shocked, the eagles were worth more than he thought. Soon, apart from the Green Headed Tiger King, the rest was totaled up.


    ¡°A total of five thousand eight hundred and fifty silver!¡± the shopkeeper said.


    Five thousand eight hundred and fifty silver! Zhao Feng¡¯s heart sped up. His monthly allowance was only twenty silver! He had never carried more than one hundred silver on him.


    Even then, the most expensive materials, from the the Green Headed Tiger King, had yet to be added in.


    ¡°How about this, I will give you a total of five thousand nine hundred silver.¡± The shopkeeper had a cunning face.


    ¡°Sure.¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk so he agreed. Zhao Feng quickly received his money, all in silver notes. ¡°Oh yea, do you guys take parts from deadly beasts?¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t leave immediately after completing the exchange.


    ¡°Could it be that you have deadly beast parts?¡± The shopkeeper¡¯s eyes floated towards the last bag in Zhao Feng¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Yep.¡± Zhao Feng slowly opened his bag, showing the parts of the Green Headed Tiger King. Immediately a powerful aura came from the bag.


    ¡°Green Headed Tiger King!¡± the shopkeeper exclaimed as he looked disbelievingly at Zhao Feng.


    He couldn¡¯t imagine how a measly second ranker was able to kill a deadly beast. It was known that a deadly beast could fight against true Martial Artists. There were even rumours of deadly beasts destroying whole villages.


    ¡°We had a total of seven people. It took us a while to kill it and even then we lost someone.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s words seemed to comfort the shocked shopkeeper.


    Facing the materials, the shopkeeper¡¯s eyesight looked at the Zhao symbol on Zhao Feng¡¯s clothes and finally gave a price, ¡°Sixteen thousand silver!¡± As he gave the price, the workers in the shop took a cold breath. It was their first time hearing such a high price.


    The shopkeeper did not dare to trick Zhao Feng as he came from the Zhao sect. The Zhao, Xin, and Qiu families were the three biggest powers in Sun Feather City. No shop could open up without their permission.


    ¡°Deal!¡± Zhao Feng smiled. He seemed calm but was laughing inside.


    Soon, Zhao Feng took his twenty thousand silver and left the shop.


    ¡°I can now go buy some resources to help me break through to the third rank.¡± Zhao Feng headed towards the weapons shop that he had gone to a few days ago.


    \----------


    ¡°Kid, you¡¯re here again?¡± A few days ago, Zhao Feng was low on money and technically half borrowed and half paid for the heavy metal bow.


    _Pah!_


    Zhao Feng put his hand on the table. ¡°Here¡¯s one hundred silver. Thank you for your help that day.¡±


    One hundred silver? The shopkeeper was surprised as he never thought that Zhao Feng would be so honest. Zhao Feng had said he would pay back double, but this was over ten times the amount!


    The shopkeeper smiled as he took the silver. Although he was the shopkeeper, he did not own the shop. One hundred silver was half his yearly income.


    After paying back the money Zhao Feng didn¡¯t leave, but looked around more.


    ¡°My Heavy Metal Bow¡¯s strength is too low.¡± Zhao Feng wanted a new bow. He used his left eye to inspect the weapons on the wall. Soon his eyes stopped on a silver longbow. The silver longbow gave off a cold aura while also giving off a deep calm feeling.


    ¡°How much is it for this bow?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°You have good eyes! This bow is called Mysterious Silver Bow and is one of the most powerful weapons in the shop. Only true Martial Artists that are proficient in archery can use it to its fullest potential. Its price is one thousand and eighty silver.¡± He did not think that Zhao Feng could afford it, but still acted politely.


    ¡°One thousand and eighty silver? That¡¯s not very expensive. I will buy it,¡± Zhao Feng stated.


    The Mysterious Silver bow was made out of great materials and was better than his heavy metal bow several times over.


    ¡°Are you sure you want it¡­? Not borrow it?¡±


    _Pah!_


    Zhao Feng stacked up a heap of silver and pushed it towards the shopkeeper. ¡°Quick, I do not have much time.¡±


    What? The shopkeeper never thought that Zhao Feng was so rich. A few days ago he had bought a bow worth only fifteen silver.


    ¡°Sure, sure!¡± The shopkeeper nodded as he took down the bow down and put it in a beautifully carved box. Zhao Feng also bought one hundred arrows that were worth three silver each.


    After exiting the weapons shop, Zhao Feng went to the city¡¯s biggest medicine shop.


    ¡°The medicine pavilion is this City¡¯s largest medicine shop. The owner is very mysterious and it has chain stores in the thirteen countries around here. Even the three big families of Sun Feather City are afraid of its strength.¡± As soon as he came to the store he heard a familiar guy¡¯s voice.


    Yi!


    Zhao Feng found a boy and girl not far away. The one speaking was a youth clothed in purple who gave off a frightening aura.


    ¡°It¡¯s them¡­¡± Zhao Feng sighed.


    The duo were Zhao Yijian and Zhao Xue.


    ¡°Brother Feng,¡± Zhao Xue said surprisingly as she saw Zhao Feng .


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in response and then walked into the Medicine Pavilion.


    ¡°Hmph, just him? He has the right to enter the Medicine Pavilion? Any item from the Pavilion is worth a few years of his income,¡± Zhao Yijian said disdainfully as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    Although Zhao Xue did not speak, she knew that with Zhao Feng¡¯s background it would be very hard to take out a few hundred silver. Compared to Zhao Yijian, whose father and grandfather were both cultivators higher than the fourth rank held middle-high positions in the sect, their wealth was not comparable.


    Ignoring the two, Zhao Feng walked into the Medicine Pavilion and started to search for resources that would help his cultivation increase.


    ¡°Third rank of the Martial Path¡­is when the body becomes stronger. In this direction, the blood plant is incredibly good. It can consolidate one¡¯s foundation and even help some cultivators understand Inner strength¡­¡± Zhao Feng thought about it and then confirmed his needs.


    Out of all the plants, the blood plant was of the biggest use for Martial Learners. Blood plants were split into many categories. The ones that were older had better use, but were also more expensive.


    ¡°One hundred year old blood plant, five hundred silver. Two hundred year old blood plant, one thousand two hundred silver. Three hundred year old blood plant¡­three thousand silver. Five hundred year old blood plant¡­ten thousand silver.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned through the price list.


    Obviously, the older it was, the better it was. Of course, the limits of Martial Learners were blood plants that were five hundred years old.


    ¡°Brother Yijian, if I had a two hundred year old blood plant, I might be able to reach the peak of the second rank in half a year,¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s voice came wandering through.


    ¡°That is not possible. At most I can only buy you a one hundred year old one. I have been trying to learn Inner Strength and need expensive materials to help me,¡± Zhao Yijian said. Although he was rich, he could not spend his money recklessly.


    ¡°A one hundred year old one is ok as well,¡± Zhao Xue smiled faintly.


    Just at this moment, a voice emotionlessly said, ¡°Shopkeeper, give me two two hundred year old blood plants, and a three hundred year old one.¡± This voice gained the attention of many people.


    It¡¯s him! Zhao Xue saw Zhao Feng who was not far away and her heart leapt.


    ¡°A three hundred year old blood plant? He is probably boasting.¡± Zhao Yijian laughed coldly. He would not believe that a normal branch disciple could afford a three hundred year old blood plant.


    ¡°Two two-hundred year old blood plant and a three-hundred year old blood plant. A total of five thousand four hundred silver,¡± the shopkeeper gave his price.


    In front of their eyes, Zhao Feng took out his silver and successfully exchanged it with the shopkeeper. This scene made Zhao Yijian¡¯s smile freeze.


    ¡°How¡­. how is this possible?¡± Zhao Xue had a disbelieving, dazed look.


    ¡°Shopkeeper, can I also get three bottles of high level healing pills, as well as three bottles of high level blood recovery pills?¡± Zhao Feng bought some other medicine which were all high level, spending another thousand silver.


    After the exchange, Zhao Feng waved at Zhao Xue and left in a cool manner. When replying, Zhao Xue had a forced smile and did not look Zhao Feng in the eye¡­


    After leaving the Medicine Pavilion, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t return to the Zhao sect. Instead he went to an inn. He first calculated the silver he had left, a total of twelve thousand silver.


    ¡°I will leave this silver for later use.¡± Zhao Feng understood that a cultivators path needed a huge amount of resources.


    That night, he closed his eyes and slowly used the Air Pushing Breathing Technique.


    Inside of his left eye, the faint green glow had increased from sixty cm to seventy-five cm. Zhao Feng confirmed that he had reached the peak of the second rank and just needed half a step more to reach the third rank.


    ¡°I wonder how strong this medicine will be.¡± Zhao Feng was full of expectation as he ate a blood plant that was two hundred years old. Soon, Zhao Feng felt an enormous amount of strength appear in his body that was chaotic.


    ¡°What a strong herb!¡± Zhao Feng fully used the Air Pushing Breathing Technique and absorbed the medicine. Because Zhao Feng had never used such precious herbs before, he thought that it was extremely strong.


    ******************************


    _The next morning..._


    ¡°Could this be¡­¡± Zhao Feng felt himself bursting with energy. All of his muscles and bones were full of power.


    _Peh!_


    He casually waved his fist and hit out with a force of seven hundred kilograms! Breaking through to the third rank was easier than Zhao Feng thought¡­

 14 Strength of a Quasi Martial Artis

    ¡°The effect of the blood plant is so good.¡± Zhao Feng felt incredible. He first thought that, even with the help of the two hundred year blood plant, it would still take him at least two days to break through. If everyone had the same effect, then cultivators at the fourth rank or higher would be worth nothing.


    Soon he figured out the reasons.


    First, he had never taken any herbs before, therefore he could absorb the herb to a high degree. Secondly, the Air Pushing Breathing Technique had reached the third level, which made Zhao Feng¡¯s strength reach the third rank even while he was at the second rank. Thirdly, Zhao Feng felt that his body was slowly changing after merging with his left eye.


    Zhao Feng calmed down soon as he realized that many others in the Zhao sect had already reached the third rank at his age. He could only be considered talented, not a genius.


    Take Zhao Yufei for example, she had reached the peak of the third rank two months ago and had already almost learned Inner Strength, which meant that she had the strength of a Quasi Martial Artist.


    ¡°I am probably at the same level as Xin Fei and Zhao Yijian. However, I do not have confidence in winning against them.¡± After all, Xin Fei and Zhao Yijian had learned high rank martial arts skills, and had trained them to at least the low level.


    For the next two days, Zhao Feng consolidated his cultivation.


    While he was training in the Air Pushing Breathing Technique, he realized that there was a low humming sound. Zhao Feng empowered his left eye and discovered that there was a faint green and red glow forming between his blood and skin.


    ¡°Air Pushing Breathing Technique is nearing the peak of the third level. My strength is not any weaker than Zhao Yufei or Xin Fei who have Quasi Martial Artist strength.¡± Once Air Pushing Breathing Technique reached the peak of the third level he would have the chance at understanding chi. Most people had to be half-step Martial Artists to reach this step. Even most peak third rankers could not do this.


    After he consolidated his foundation, Zhao Feng left the inn and headed towards the Zhao sect. As for the other two blood plants, he did not plan to use them any time soon.


    As soon as Zhao Feng left the inn, a beggar wearing torn clothes turned and ran away from him.


    The beggar arrived at a restaurant and reported to a youth clad in silver,¡°Master Xin, he has come out!¡±


    ¡°Ok, here¡¯s your promised silver.¡± The youth had a cold smile.


    **********


    As Zhao Feng turned into an alleyway, he heard footsteps thundering closer from behind him.


    _Teng sou sou ¡ª¡ª¡ª-_


    Two or three shadows flipped over the wall and pursued him from behind.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡± Zhao Feng immediately turned around.


    ¡°Kid! Leave ten thousand silver and we¡¯ll let you go,¡± three disciples of the Xin family said as they surrounded Zhao Feng. The one that spoke was the youth in silver.


    Xin Gang! Zhao Feng immediately recognised the youth.


    The three disciples in front of him had all reached the third rank and Xin Gang had reached the peak of the third rank.


    ¡°Ten thousand silver? Just you three?¡± Zhao Feng said indifferently as he stood straight. He had spent near ten thousand silver in Sun Feather City and still had ten thousand left. These people obviously planned to take it all for themselves.


    ¡°Kid! I¡¯m warning you, do not be too arrogant! I was injured the last time, that¡¯s why you won. Today we¡¯re going to have payback for the losses we had back in Sky Cloud Forest.¡±


    ¡°Hmph¡­¡­ that day you took sixty percent of the tiger¡¯s worth while one person from our sect died.¡± One of the Xin disciples had greed and unwillingness in his eyes.


    ¡°Stop speaking such nonsense! We¡¯ll take him down quickly in case some accidents happen,¡± the youth on the left said as he kicked towards Zhao Feng. Immediately the two others followed suit.


    ¡°Hahaha, a bunch of trash,¡± Zhao Feng laughed as he jumped seven meters off the ground and landed on top of the wall of a mansion. He had easily dodged the three frenzied attacks.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let him run away!¡± Xin Gang roared and was the first to leap towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Run?¡± Zhao Feng looked mockingly at Xin Gang as he immediately used the Air Pushing Breathing Technique and Lightly Floating Ferry, leaving behind an afterimage in the air.


    Not good! Xin Gang felt an unbearable pressure coming from his side.


    _Pah¡ª-_


    Xin Gang, who was in mid-air, barely managed to block one punch.


    _Wah!_


    Although he blocked it, the force still made him smash into a stone wall and cough out blood.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s strength has probably reached quasi fourth rank. I cannot even take one of his hits.¡± Xin Gang felt his eyes go black and immediately warned his peers, ¡°Xin Yu, Xin Chen watch out!¡± However, before he finished warning them there was a scream coming from his left.


    ¡°Ahhhhhh¡­¡± Another youth had his bones broken.


    ¡°Run!¡± The last Xin disciple was scared out of his wits and tried to run. However, before he could escape, a whistling sound came from behind.


    _Peh!_


    He felt his eyes turn black before he could even see the attack¡­


    In terms of speed, Zhao Feng had learned a high rank martial art skill and when used, could be compared to martial artists of the fourth rank.


    ¡°I will let you off the hook this time, but if you anger me again...¡± Zhao Feng looked coldly at Xin Gang and then, like a bird, floated away.


    ¡°What incredible strength and speed¡­¡± the youth next to Xin Gang said dazedly.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng has just reached the third rank and already has the strength of a Quasi Martial Artist.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s strength right now could be compared with Xin Fei¡¯s.


    *****************


    After finishing off Xin Gang and company, Zhao Feng returned to the Zhao sect. A few disciples that were familiar with Zhao Feng were surprised by his cultivation level.


    ¡°When did Zhao Feng reach the third rank of the Martial Path?¡± They all knew that Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was only at the first rank twenty days ago!


    ¡°I heard that Zhao Feng and some Xin family disciples killed a Green Headed Tiger King yesterday and he then stole over half of the spoils¡­¡± one well-informed Zhao disciple said.


    ¡°One deadly beast is worth twenty to thirty thousand silver. This kid¡¯s definitely bought some super expensive herb that increased his cultivation.¡±


    ¡°What is so amazing about using outer help to increase one¡¯s cultivation? Those people usually have lower strength.¡±


    These disciples were all either envious or disdainful.


    Zhao Feng never thought that the information would reach the sect so fast. Not bothering with these people, Zhao Feng walked on. Soon he arrived at his home.


    He first saw his mother Zhao Shi sewing clothes.


    ¡°Father, mother, here is one thousand silver.¡± Zhao Feng walked inside the room and took out a stack of silver notes.


    ¡°One thousand silver?¡± Zhao Shi stared as she picked up the notes.


    ¡°How did you get so much money?¡± Zhao Tianyang asked in surprise. When he saw that his son¡¯s cultivation had reached the third rank, a strange glimmer passed through his eyes.


    ¡°It happened like this¡­¡± Zhao Feng then told them a simplistic story of what had happened in Sky Cloud Forest. After listening to the story, Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Shi had a tinge of disbelief in addition to their excitement. After all, Zhao Feng did not use to perform so superbly. However, being parents, they obviously wanted their children to be successful.


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged in his room and surveyed the chamber. ¡°There is still one more month until the family sparring contest. If I can become an inner disciple¡­my parents status and treatment should become a bit higher¡­¡±


    Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness entered the pitch black dimension inside his left eye. The faint green ring had extended to three feet.


    When Zhao Feng was at the first rank, the green ring¡¯s length was one feet, and it was two feet when his cultivation reached the second rank. Now, it was three feet as he reached the third rank.


    As the green ring grew, Zhao Feng found that the power of his left eye increased with it. He could see every item in detail at a range of fifteen kilometers. His mind¡¯s energy and reaction speed had also significantly increased.


    Zhao Feng started to decipher Lightly Floating Ferry once more. Soon there was less and less of Lightly Floating Ferry left undeciphered.


    One-third left¡­one-quarter left¡­one-fifth left¡­


    Night came. Just as Zhao Feng was exhausted, the last bit of Lightly Floating Ferry was deciphered. At this moment Zhao Feng held his breath as he viewed its contents.


    ¡°This footwork skill can even¡­¡± His exhaustion was replaced by ecstasy!

 15 Air Crossing Breathing Technique

    ¡°¡­Lightly Floating Ferry, late page: Only with the Air Crossing Breathing Technique can one wield it to its fullest potential. It will be unsurpassed by anyone under the seventh rank and is a peak speed skill for all those under the ninth rank. Below is the contents of the Air Crossing Breathing Technique, and the minimum requirements are being at the peak of the third rank of the Martial Path as well as possessing Inner Strength.¡±


    As the last tenth of the skill was deciphered, Zhao Feng released his excitement. He never thought that a skill such as Lightly Floating Ferry would have a complementary skill. This was technically buffing Lightly Floating Ferry to an ever higher level!


    Zhao Feng could now confirm that Lightly Floating Ferry was at least a peak rank martial art skill. Most people knew that martial arts were split into Core, Low, Middle, High, and Peak. However, this did not mean that peak ranked martial arts skills were at the top. There were rumours of Holy Martial Skills, skills that surpassed peak ranked martial arts skills.


    Likewise, there was the Holy Martial Path above the nine ranks of Martial Path.


    Zhao Feng had heard that to enter the Holy Martial Path, one needed to learn a Holy Martial Skill.


    Obviously, with Zhao Feng¡¯s status, he couldn¡¯t even think about Holy skills. Even the true Martial Artists of Sun Feather City could not touch the level of the Holy Martial Path.


    ¡­¡­


    _Night..._


    Zhao Feng had finally deciphered its contents, and the entire Lightly Floating Ferry was displayed.


    ¡°If I can gain an understanding of chi right now, any opponent under the fourth rank will not be a match for me.¡± Zhao Feng immediately started to learn the contents of Lightly Floating Ferry. Once Lightly Floating Ferry entered the beginning stages, Zhao Feng could immediately start using chi.


    Half an hour later, Zhao Feng had only just understood some parts of Lightly Floating Ferry. However, to try and understand chi through Lightly Floating Ferry alone was still a bit difficult.


    Sun Feather City had thousands of cultivators who had reached the peak of the third rank, but many of them would never understand Inner Strength and reach the fourth rank. Even some of the sect¡¯s talented youths, such as Zhao Yijian and Zhao Yufei had been stuck for a while and had yet to succeed.


    Zhao Feng ended that night with failure.


    ¡°Don¡¯t rush! I have just stepped into the realm of the third rank and if I can train the Air Pushing Breathing Technique to the peak of the third level, I believe that my chances of success will increase.¡±


    The second day, Zhao Feng once again started to train in the Air Pushing Breathing Technique, as well as Angry Dragon Fists. On the third day, the Air Pushing Breathing Technique was slowly moving towards the peak of the third level. Zhao Feng felt that his body strength had reached a limit now, every time he repeated the Technique it he felt as if he had reached his peak.


    He once again tried to condense chi, but again resulted in failure. Every time he failed, his strength would fall in exhaustion.


    Although Zhao Feng understood the Air Crossing Breathing Technique, to actually successfully form chi was an entirely different matter. However, Zhao Feng did not give up, and every time he tried there would be subtle improvements.


    On the same day, Zhao Feng received a written notice.


    _ Tomorrow noon there will be a very powerful martial artist giving a lecture on the martial arts field._


    Every outer disciple received this news.


    ¡°An open lecture on the martial arts field?¡± Maybe it was because the family sparring contest was only one month away, but the outer disciples all started to put in more effort as well.


    Zhao Feng was very anticipatory of this lecture. He had only been at the Zhao sect for half a year and this was the first time he had this kind of chance.


    ********************


    _Morning of the next day..._


    Although it wasn¡¯t noon yet, there were already a lot of Zhao sect disciples here. Zhao Feng even saw many strong outer disciples that weren¡¯t usually seen.


    ¡°Look¡­those are two of the top three outer disciples, Zhao Yufei and Zhao Yijian! Even Zhao Guang, who is ranked fifth, is here!¡±


    The main focus of these people were those at the peak amongst the outer disciples.


    At the Zhao sect there were over one thousand youths from the age of thirteen to eighteen. Over half of them had cultivations of the second rank. Obviously, when Zhao Feng first came, he was indeed the bottom.


    On the field, those that that held the most attention were those that ranked in the top ten. The most focused on person was Zhao Yufei, who was fifteen years of age. Her beauty stood out amongst the crowd. She wasn¡¯t just pretty, she also had great talent and was ranked third, tied with Zhao Yijian.


    ¡°Look! That is Zhao Yue who is ranked first!¡± There was a buzz as Zhao Yue appeared.


    Zhao Feng did not even need to find him as the crowd split apart by itself. Through the pathway came a youth, sixteen or seventeen years of age. He wore azure coloured clothes and had a simplistic face.


    ¡°He is Zhao Yue?¡± It was Zhao Feng¡¯s first time seeing Zhao Yue, he had only heard rumors about him before.


    Zhao Yue was older than most disciples, being seventeen years old. This was because once someone became eighteen years old, they were considered adults and could no longer be counted among the younger generation. Zhao Yue often cultivated endlessly inside his own room, so it wasn¡¯t common for him to be seen by others.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes locked onto Zhao Yue, and he felt the tremendous pressure coming from him. Although their ranks were the same, Zhao Feng could feel the pressure that being emitted by Yue.


    Zhao Feng also perceived the immense strength hiding in Zhao Yue¡¯s muscles. Because Zhao Yue was older, this meant that he had cultivated longer and had the best foundation. In terms of strength, he was definitely ranked first!


    No wonder he was worthy of the title of being the strongest outer disciple!


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t find any flaws on him. As Zhao Yue appeared, Zhao Yijian, who was ranked third, and Zhao Guang, who was ranked fifth, showed their fighting intent. There wasn¡¯t much difference in strength between the top five outer disciples.


    There was still a bit of time before the lecture started. Soon, there was another shout.


    ¡°Zhao Gan¡¯s here!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Gan? The person ranked amongst the top five?¡± The gazes of many disciples turned towards a certain direction. The person arriving was a short haired youth whose body was as slim as a leopard.


    Zhao Gan?


    Zhao Feng felt that the name was familiar. Soon he remembered that this person was Zhao Kun¡¯s brother. And sure enough, behind Zhao Gan came a familiar figure, Zhao Kun!


    Zhao Kun had also spotted Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng saw him walk to his brother and say something.


    En?


    Zhao Gan spun around and his cold eyes locked onto Zhao Feng.


    ¡°You¡¯re that Zhao Feng?¡± Zhao Gan said expressionlessly as he walked over.


    _Hua!_


    There was a shock that went through the crowd.


    ¡°What is going on? Why would Zhao Gan trouble someone who is so unknown?¡±


    ¡°Unknown?¡± Someone shook his head and mocked, ¡°Zhao Feng is not some unknown brat. A few days ago he killed a Green Headed Tiger king by accident!¡±


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s him!¡±


    ¡°I heard that he beat up Zhao Gan¡¯s little brother. I bet you Zhao Gan is coming for revenge.¡±


    After a short discussion the crowd soon calmed down. Most of the disciples had playful looks on their faces, as Zhao Gan was tied for fifth among the outer disciples.


    At this moment, even Zhao Yue, who was ranked first, Zhao Yijian and Zhao Yufei, who were equally ranked third, looked over.


    Zhao Yijian had a gloating expression on his face. He knew Zhao Gan¡¯s strength quite well. Zhao Xue, who was next to Zhao Yijian, sighed, but after remembering how Zhao Feng had acted in the Medicine Pavilion, her soft expression was replaced by coldness.


    On the other side, Zhao Yufei had an interested face. Zhao Feng¡¯s performance at the archery field had shocked her. As a result, Zhao Feng was now one of the main focuses on the field.


    ¡°Kid, today you are going to get humiliated in front of the crowd.¡± Zhao Kun¡¯s lips curled into a smile. Zhao Gan walked step by step, and every step he took caused the atmosphere to tense up.


    ¡°Yes, I am Zhao Feng.¡± Zhao Feng showed a faint smile as he sized up Zhao Gan.

 16 Beating Zhao Gan

    ¡°Yes, I am Zhao Feng.¡±


    Zhao Feng neither retreated nor gave way. Instead, he faced off against Zhao Gan. This sight shocked many other disciples.


    ¡°When did Zhao Feng break through to the third rank?¡± Zhao Kun and company finally realized Zhao Feng¡¯s change. Even Zhao Xue, who was standing next to Zhao Yijian, was stunned.


    ¡°Hmph! Just a useless piece of trash using outside help to break through. These people are especially vulnerable,¡± Zhao Yijian said disdainfully.


    ¡°Maybe¡­¡± Zhao Xue answered.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you are stronger than I imagined. No wonder you could beat up my brother,¡± Zhao Gan praised Zhao Feng as he stopped two steps away from him.


    ¡°Stop praising me, you¡¯re here to take revenge for your brother, I presume?¡± Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    ¡°Yes!¡± Zhao Gan swiftly continued, ¡°Although my brother is a useless piece of trash¡­ He is still my brother.¡± Zhao Kun¡¯s face turned ugly as Zhao Gan spoke. This brother of his never gave him face to anyone.


    Zhao Gan continued, ¡°You are younger than I and have just reached the third rank. So I won¡¯t bully you. If you can live past my first ten moves, then I will let this off the hook.¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡± Zhao Feng was a bit surprised by how Zhao Gan acted. Zhao Kun¡¯s brother was not as arrogant as he had imagined.


    The two faced off on a piece of spare land on the martial arts field.


    ¡°It is starting now¡­¡±


    Zhao Gan¡¯s aura suddenly became cold and his four limbs started to bend, like a poisonous snake. Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake!


    Some of the disciples knew the history of the skill. As Zhao Gan¡¯s opponent, Zhao Feng felt a strange chill. While both brothers had learned Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake, Zhao Gan could give him great pressure.


    ¡°Second change of the Poisonous Snake!¡± Zhao Gan struck like a snake towards Zhao Feng¡¯s head.


    Zhao Feng only felt a chill coming towards his head. The opponent¡¯s speed and power was double that of Zhao Kun. It was good that his left eye could still easily see the route of Zhao Gan¡¯s attack, so he put up a fist to block.


    _Pah!_


    Zhao Feng threw off Zhao Gan with his punch, but he felt that the opponent¡¯s body was like butter. Zhao Gan twisted on the ground and then used explosive speed and power to charge back towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°No wonder he is worthy of being the fifth best outer disciple!¡± He had the sensation that his opponent wasn¡¯t a person, but a deadly, cunning snake instead.


    _Pah! Pah! Pah¡­_


    Zhao Feng had a solemn look on his face as he faced off against Zhao Gan. In this short amount of time, Zhao Feng had almost lost many times.


    ¡°I wonder how far I can go without using my left eye.¡± Zhao Feng was very calm. Once he used his left eye, his reaction speed and vision increased dramatically, so it would not be any challenge for him.


    Of course, without using his left eye, Zhao Feng¡¯s reaction speed had already surpassed other Martial Learners of the same rank.


    At the beginning, Zhao Feng was under great pressure. However, as the fight continued, he honed his experience and battle prowess in this fight against Zhao Gan.


    _Pah! Pah! Beng¡­_


    The two shadows fought together on the field. The two of them both used close battle skills, and the speed they fought at was extremely fast.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s strength is stronger than I imagined.¡±


    ¡°It has already been five moves.¡± A few of the other disciples felt that this was unbelievable.


    ¡°His improvement is so insanely fast.¡±


    Zhao Xue¡¯s breathing rate started to increase.


    Not far away, Zhao Kun kept wiping the sweat off his forehead. He thought that with his brother¡¯s strength, he would only need two or three moves to take Zhao Feng down, but the latter had unexpectedly improved so much.


    Soon it was the sixth move!


    ¡°Fourth Change of the Poisonous Snake!¡± Zhao Gan¡¯s movements became like the sea. They churned, jumped, and wrapped around Zhao Feng. As the fourth change began, Zhao Gan¡¯s damage increased dramatically.


    Zhao Feng felt the pressure increase and remembered that Zhao Kun had only learned the first three forms of Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake.


    Zhao Gan, however, had learned the first seven Changes! Every successive Change was harder to learn, but the damage would likewise increase dramatically. Zhao Feng felt as if his opponent had no bones and that he was coming closer and closer¡­


    _Shuah!_


    Zhao Feng, on instinct, used Lightly Floating Ferry to pull away from Zhao Gan. Close combat was the forte of Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake, even Angry Dragon Fists was difficult to use against it.


    _Teng! Teng!_


    Zhao Feng, in terms of speed, was absolutely faster than Zhao Gan.


    The eight move, the ninth move...the tenth move!


    The two shadows split apart as the disciples who were watching held their breath.


    ¡°You have won.¡± Zhao Gan looked deeply at Zhao Feng, and seemed helpless. He then turned around and left, leaving a crowd of shocked disciples behind.


    ¡°Thank you for going easy.¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly. He did not use all his strength in this fight, especially his left eye. He also did not use Lightly Floating Ferry or the Air Pushing Breathing Technique to their highest potential.


    He had two reasons for this. First, he wanted to see how strong he was without the use of his left eye. Second, he wanted to leave some hidden cards for the family sparring contest.


    The result was very obvious. When he restrained himself from using these things, he was on par with Zhao Gan. Obviously, Zhao Feng could not confirm if Zhao Gan had left some hidden moves either, as the two of them had only exchanged ten blows.


    ¡°When did he get so strong¡­?¡± A few of those who were familiar with Zhao Feng now stared at him with their eyes open. Zhao Kun was even more exaggerated, he opened his mouth like a wooden chicken.


    ¡°Big brother, if you cannot beat him in ten moves you can still beat him up for me,¡± Zhao Kun said as he caught up to Zhao Gan.


    ¡°You better give up. Even if there were no restrictions I cannot beat him either. His speed is too fast for me,¡± Zhao Gan shook his head.


    ¡°How is this possible!¡± Zhao Kun knew that his brother did not lie. It wasn¡¯t his attitude.


    ¡°He won¡­¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s body turned rigid as she gave a complicated look at the youth not far away. That youth seemed especially handsome, taller than ever before at this point¡­


    ¡°This kid actually has a few tricks,¡± Zhao Yijian said, looking on coldly. ¡°But he only fought against Zhao Gan for ten moves¡­while Zhao Gan has already lost to me long ago!¡± Zhao Xue let out a breath as she heard Zhao Yijian¡¯s words.


    She did not understand why she was so afraid of Zhao Feng becoming strong. The stronger he became, the more conflicted she felt.


    *****************


    After the sparring match the field resumed to its original state.This was because it was nearing noon and the powerful Martial Artist would be giving the lecture soon.


    ¡°Coach Chen is here!¡± The crowd suddenly became excited.


    Zhao Feng followed everyone¡¯s gazes and saw a tall and muscular man slowly walk onto the martial arts field.


    ¡°That is Coach Chen.¡± Zhao Feng secretly opened his left eye and saw that there was a faint yellow glow being emitting from his blood. The inner strength was pushed every time he let out a breath, creating an unseen pressure.


    Why did powerful people have a different aura and create unseen pressure? Zhao Feng now understood a bit through looking at Coach Chen. Every step Coach Chen took and every glance he made created pressure. This aura belonged to Martial Artists. Any Martial Learner under the fourth rank might not even have the courage to attack him.


    ¡°So strong!¡± The disciples had faces of awe and fear. How many Martial Learners on Green Flower Continent wanted to have the title of Martial Artist? Even Zhao Feng was similar.


    However, his goal was not limited to this. His goal was Martial Master, those that had the seventh rank or higher. And even the rumoured Holy Martial Path¡­


    ¡°Today I am going to talk about how the skills for Martial Learners of the third rank or lower should be used. I will also be talking about my experience of Inner Strength¡­¡± Coach Chen¡¯s voice was deep but not loud. However, even those that were a few hundred meters away could hear him clearly.


    After hearing ¡®experiences of inner strength¡¯, Zhao Yijian, Zhao Yufei, and Zhao Yue had their eyes brighten.


    _Inner Strength of the Martial Path? What a coincidence!_ Zhao Feng became very expectant.

 17 Inner Strength of the Martial Path

    ¡°As everyone knows, the Martial Path is split into nine ranks. The first three ranks are known as the Body ranks and have the title of Martial Learners. The fourth to sixth ranks are known as Martial Artists, and the seventh to ninth ranks are known as Martial Masters. Everyone who is a Martial Master has a high status, even the Zhao Sect does not have many of them,¡± Coach Chen simply explained about the nine ranks of the Martial Path.


    ¡°Every three ranks have a huge gap between them.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind drew a simple diagram.


    First three ranks: Strengthen the body and set up a good foundation.


    Fourth to sixth rank: Form inner strength, or chi. Every move and action far surpasses the power of Martial Learners.


    Seventh to ninth ranks: Upgrading Inner Strength to Transformation Strength, which can attack through the air.


    There were rumors in Cloud Country of Big Martial Masters, those who had reached the peak of the ninth rank and had the title of Ten Thousand Man Army, who could easily kill their enemies.


    In their eyes, normal Martial Artists and deadly beasts were ants.


    ¡°First we will talk about the first and second rank of the Martial Path. Through martial art skills, we strengthen our body and blood¡­¡± Coach Chen first talked about the foundation of the first two ranks.


    Many of the disciples on the field had already reached the third rank, so they did not pay much attention to this. Zhao Feng paid close attention as he had been at the first rank of the Martial Path for a very long time. And the one hundred or so martial art books in his mind were now viewed differently.


    He suddenly remembered the first skill he learned, Flaming Metal Fists. Slowly, the moves, experiences, and skills faded out of his memory.


    Zhao Feng was shocked as he did not know what this meant. The only thing he knew was that Flaming Metal Fists had reached past the peak level. He did not realize that he had accidentally entered a meditational state. These states were rare, even for geniuses.


    ¡°Next we will talk about the skills of the second and third rank, and how to execute them¡­¡± Coach Chen didn¡¯t just speak, he also showed how to practise them.


    Being a true Martial Artist, any moves Coach Chen showed were all middle ranked martial arts trained to the peak level. Even if Coach Chen used the power of the third rank and middle ranked martial arts, he could still easily beat the top ten disciples.


    ¡°Lastly, I will be telling you tricks about Inner Strength. A few of you have already reached the peak of the third rank and are just a bit away from entering the fourth rank.¡± As Coach Chen spoke up, his lips curled into a smile. The top ten outer disciples had all reached the peak of the third rank.


    ¡°Even I cannot fully explain how chi works. The key point is how each of you understands Inner Strength. All I can do is give you some of my experiences¡­¡± Coach Chen¡¯s voice turned low. Just as he finished his sentence, he gave off a frightening aura.


    At that moment, all the Zhao sect disciples were unable to breathe properly. The unseen pressure flooded over all the Martial Learners.


    ¡°What strength! Is this inner strength? If I had that I could try to break through to become a true martial artist¡­¡± The crowd held their breaths as they looked on in awe.


    ¡°Inner Strength is, after all, a type of power that forms from within one¡¯s body. Thus, strong blood is the key point in forming Inner Strength. And the strength of one¡¯s blood depends on how strong one¡¯s body and bones are. This is also why the first three ranks are known as the Power ranks. They provide a solid foundation to be built on,¡± Coach Chen said as he demonstrated.


    ¡°Rock Breaking Palm!¡± A faint yellow glow emitted from the center of his palm.


    _Peh¡ª-_


    Before the palm even hit the ground, the force from the palm had already arrived.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    That palm¡¯s power, filled with Inner Strength, was like a mountain that came crushing towards the disciples. The aura alone could make the Martial Learners yield.


    _Plop!_


    Three disciples of the second rank who stood at the front fell onto the ground.


    ¡°Hmph! I can see that your foundation is weak. The wind from my palm has already made you fall. If it was someone of the seventh rank or higher instead of me, you guys would have already been crushed into pieces¡­¡± Coach Chen shook his head.


    As he was explaining and demonstrating, one youth was like a sculpture that didn¡¯t move. After Coach Chen finished his demonstration, the youth closed his eyes.


    ¡°Inner strength is like that¡­¡± Zhao Feng closed his eyes. In his mind, the picture of a person¡¯s body once again came up.


    At a certain point, a faint yellow glow came from inside the blood. When Coach Chen was demonstrating earlier, Zhao Feng had used his left eye to get a better look¡­


    His eye had caught every subtle change in Coach Chen¡¯s body, including how chi was formed. In his mind, this scene was now being replayed back and forth. Maybe Coach Chen himself could not understand the changes in his body so precisely.


    Next, Coach Chen demonstrated some of his own experiences again. Every time he demonstrated, Zhao Feng would use his left eye to observe. While the other disciples could only hear the reasoning, Zhao Feng could fully see how it was formed.


    Half an hour later, Coach Chen¡¯s lecture ended.


    ¡°You cannot force Inner Strength. To form chi you must have good talent and a solid foundation.¡± Coach Chen shook his head as he left. It was obvious that he did not have much hope in these outer disciples.


    If his explanation could make one or two of them understand inner strength, it would be unexpected¡­


    After Coach Chen departed, most of the disciples were left with questioning faces. After all, Inner Strength could not be described. It was different for everyone.


    The disciples that ranked highly had gained some insights. Zhao Yue, who was ranked first, and Zhao Yijian sometimes had expressions of thought and sometimes expressions of happiness¡­


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyebrows were slightly fluttering.


    As for Zhao Feng, he closed his eyes while standing still. Inside his mind, the memory of Coach Chen performing was replayed over and over¡­


    *****************


    _A while later..._


    Zhao Feng let out a breath as he hurriedly returned home.


    _Bang!_


    As soon as he got home he closed the room and sat down cross-legged.


    ¡°I have finally understood how Inner Strength works¡­¡± Inside his mind, the last pages of Lightly Floating Ferry came up once again.


    According to the Air Pushing Breathing Technique, if he trained it to the peak of the third level, he would have the foundation to form Inner Strength.


    He spent the rest of the day fully absorbing the insights he had gained. At night, Zhao Feng performed the Air Pushing Breathing Technique a few times to confirm that he had reached the peak of the third level.


    ¡°It is starting now¡­¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he slowly tried to form his chi. Following Lightly Floating Ferry, Zhao Feng slowly pushed his blood together.


    Compared to the Air Pushing Breathing Technique, the standards of Lightly Floating Ferry were much higher.


    Soon Zhao Feng¡¯s blood passed through his body. Everything went smoothly. However, just at the end, Zhao Feng felt like he had no energy left.


    The reason was because, while Zhao Feng¡¯s blood was strong, he was lacking in quantity. In terms of blood strength he could be compared to Zhao Yue, but in terms of quantity, he was still a ways off.


    Zhao Feng had not reached the peak of the third rank, and the way in which Lightly Floating Ferry formed Inner Strength was harder than most other skills.


    ¡°If I fail, my blood will fall into a period of weakness and it will be harder for me to form it next time¡­¡± Zhao Feng grit his teeth as he took out a two hundred year old blood plant.


    _Hu!_


    Zhao Feng sucked in a breath as the energy from the blood plant merged into his bloodstream.


    _Weng~_


    At the last moment Zhao Feng felt the blood rushing within him.


    _Ha!_


    A shout as loud as lightning sounded within the room, causing the windows to rattle. The room went became dark due to the fact that the candle had been blown out.


    Under the moonlight there was a youth full of anticipation who slowly opened his palm. A beautiful faint green glow appeared...

 18 Ranking

    ¡°I did it!¡± Zhao Feng restrained himself from shouting.


    At this moment, he only needed one thought to emit a faint green glow from his palm. If one did not look closely, one would not be able to see it. This was the first thread of Inner Strength that Zhao Feng had formed. He had never thought that his dream would be so close to him.


    Once someone formed their first thread of Inner Strength, the bottleneck to the fourth rank would be almost nonexistent.


    For Zhao Feng, it was now only a matter of time. He only needed to reach the peak of the third rank and he would be able to step into the fourth rank, becoming a true Martial Artist.


    ¡°There are no other outer disciples in the Zhao sect that have formed their first thread of Inner Strength yet. Not even Zhao Yue and Zhao Yijian¡­¡± When Zhao Feng realized that, he had a satisfied expression.


    Being able to form chi at the third rank meant that he was unstoppable for his cultivation level.


    ¡°The two-hundred year old blood plant cannot go to waste.¡± Zhao Feng felt that his body still had remnants left from the blood plant so he formed a few more threads of chi.


    Inner strength was one¡¯s strength compressed into a higher level. To consolidate his chi, Zhao Feng meditated for one day and one night.


    The moment he stepped out of his room he felt that every breath of his could instantly conjure great pressure.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s parents were also aware of this.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er seems a bit different. It seems he has more energy nowadays,¡± Zhao Shi smiled.


    ¡°It is time for his growth spurt.¡± His father Zhao Tianyang even felt a faint pressure emanating from Zhao Feng.


    Their feelings were not wrong. These changes indeed did occur to Zhao Feng.


    After merging with the mysterious eye, Zhao Feng¡¯s blood had started to slowly change.The most obvious point was his strength, it had increased at a rapid rate. His height and mental energy were also growing. Adding on the change of his heart state, his whole aura had changed.


    ¡°Even my parents can see that I have changed. This means that Martial Artists can easily see that I have formed Inner Strength.¡± Zhao Feng went into deep thought. There was still one month left until the family sparring contest, and his goal was to enter the top three!


    ¡°I need a way to hide my chi.¡± Soon, the one hundred martial art skills popped up in his mind.


    He quickly chose a skill named Hiding Air Technique.


    The Hiding Air Technique was not a combat skill, it could not even increase one¡¯s cultivation. The reason why Zhao Feng picked it up before was because it was a peak middle ranked martial art, the same level as Angry Dragon Fists.


    If Hiding Air Technique was trained to the low level, it could hide one¡¯s inner strength and cultivation. When it reached the high level, one could control one¡¯s aura. When it reached the peak level, one could erase one¡¯s aura, which could be used for tracking and spying. Even a dog would be unable to smell one¡¯s presence.


    Zhao Feng began to train in the Hiding Air Technique on the same day. Although it was a peak middle ranked martial art it was easy for to Zhao Feng to train in it.


    Using just half a day worth of time, Zhao Feng had already trained the Hiding Air Technique to the low level, which meant that he could now conceal his inner strength. Even true martial artists of the fourth rank or higher would be unable to find out that Zhao Feng had inner strength.


    ¡°According to the book, one needs at least a few months to train it to the low level.¡± Zhao Feng was slightly shocked, but then he thought about how he had even learned Lightly Floating Ferry, which was a high rank martial art.


    Since the Hiding Air Technique was now at the low level, Zhao Feng could now openly walk around.


    After a few more days it was the time for signing up for the family sparring contest.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, you can sign up for the family sparring contest now. Do not forget to register,¡± Zhao Tianyang warned him.


    ¡°Ok, I will go right now.¡± Zhao Feng was very confident.


    Zhao Tianyang nodded his head, ¡°You have already reached the third rank. You should be able to reach the top one hundred.¡±


    ¡°Top one hundred?¡± Zhao Feng laughed as he shook his head. His parents did not have much confidence in him. Zhao Feng felt certain that if he could not place first, he could still place in the top three.


    Soon after, Zhao Feng arrived at the registering place.


    The family sparring contest was held once every three years and the signup time was one month before the contest itself.


    There were many other disciples lining up when Zhao Feng arrived.


    ¡°Did you hear? This year¡¯s rewards are extremely good!¡± one Zhao disciple said.


    ¡°Rewards? Tell us! No wonder you are an inner disciple.¡± A few surrounding disciples had interested expressions as they looked towards the inner disciple.


    Their discussion caught Zhao Feng¡¯s attention. He looked at the inner disciple who had a cultivation at the peak of the third rank. From the aura he released, his strength was at least on par with Zhao Gan.


    ¡°No wonder he¡¯s worthy of being an inner disciple.¡± Zhao Feng thought, ¡°Any random inner disciple has such strength.¡±


    ¡°Those that become one of the top fifty will become inner disciples and will have the chance to enter the second floor of the Martial Arts Library and choose a high rank martial art skill. They will also receive a three-hundred year old blood plant. Those that reach the top twenty can choose two high ranked martial arts skill and will get two, three-hundred year old blood plants.¡±


    The inner disciple paused.


    ¡°Whoa! Three-hundred year old blood plants! The sect is spending a lot of money for this year¡¯s contest.¡±


    ¡°High rank martial arts skills! Normal disciples will probably never even learn one.¡± The disciples around seemed shocked by the news. Even Zhao Feng felt excited.


    A three-hundred year old blood plant was worth three thousand silver. Obviously, the fact that they got to enter the second floor of the Martial Arts Library was more exciting to him.


    ¡°If I get the chance to go inside the second floor of the Martial Arts Library, I can take out a large amount of high ranked skills.¡± Zhao Feng was full of anticipation.


    The inner disciple continued, ¡°The top ten can choose two high rank martial arts and will also get a five-hundred year old blood plant!¡±


    Five-hundred year old blood plant!


    Many disciples rubbed their palms together as they thought about it. One five-hundred year old blood plant was worth ten thousand silver!


    ¡°Apparently the top three can choose a peak rank skill, two high ranked skills, and will also get a Yun blood pill.¡±


    ¡°Peak rank martial art!¡±


    ¡°Yun blood pill?¡±


    Someone who trained a peak rank martial art could cultivate up to the ninth rank of the Martial Path. As for the Yun blood pill, it was a precious pill that helped increase one¡¯s cultivation.


    This type of precious pill was worth over fifty thousand silver¡­


    ¡°What does first place get?¡± someone asked.


    ¡°You are right. Usually first place gets an extra reward,¡± a few Zhao disciples said.


    ¡°First place will definitely have extra rewards, but even I do not know what that is.¡± The inner disciple shook his head.


    Ah!


    The disciples felt disappointed. However, because they did not know, they felt more intrigued to find out.


    After waiting for a long time. Zhao Feng finally arrived at the registration place and took a badge. The badge had a number of 188 on it.


    The Zhao sect had a few hundred disciples entering the contest. According to the rules, there were only fifty spots for inner disciples under the age of eighteen.


    This meant that some inner disciples may be eliminated and then replaced by the newer generation of disciples. Therefore, this contest was very cruel.


    After signing up, Zhao Feng returned home to work even harder.


    *******************


    Days passed. The time for the family sparring contest grew closer and closer.


    Twenty days before the family sparring contest started, there was already an estimated ranking list. And the person who ranked first was an inner disciple who was the genius of the Zhao sect, Zhao Linlong!


    Zhao Linlong had reached the fourth rank of the Martial Path two years ago. He was ranked third in the last contest. At that time he wasn¡¯t even fifteen years old.


    Now, he was one of the four geniuses of Sun Feather City. There was no doubt that he was the strongest!


    In second place was Zhao Chi, third place Zhao Han, fourth place Zhao Qin¡­twenty-first place was Zhao Yue! When Zhao Feng saw this he drew a cold breath. Zhao Yue, who was first amongst the outer disciples, did not even reach the top twenty of the inner disciples.


    Zhao Yijian and Zhao Yufei were respectively ranked thirty-eight and forty.


    As for Zhao Gan and Zhao Guang who were both ranked in the top five amongst the outer disciples, they were ranked overall as forty-ninth and fifty-third. The ranking had a total of one hundred people. Zhao Feng kept on looking.


    Finally!


    At the second to last place on the list, Zhao Feng finally found his own name¡­

 19 Start of the Martial Contes

    ¡°Ninety-ninth?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s lips curled into a smile, ¡°I am getting pumped up for this contest¡­¡±


    Those that could rank in the top one hundred were all considered talented in the sect. After all, there were over thousands of youths between the ages of twelve and eighteen in the sect. And at least five hundred of them had entered the competition.


    If Zhao Feng had not merged with the mysterious eye, he would not even have the right to enter right now.


    ¡°There are still twenty days left. I need to use my time wisely¡­¡± Zhao Feng headed straight home to prepare for the competition.


    ****************************


    The time of the family sparring contest was coming closer and closer.


    All of the Zhao sect youths were under a tense atmosphere. Many disciples even broke through under this pressure¡­


    This was the result that the Zhao sect¡¯s higher level wanted.


    After Zhao Feng returned home, apart from consolidating his Inner Strength, he kept on training in Angry Dragon Fists. Up to now Angry Dragon Fists was Zhao Feng¡¯s most powerful attack skill.


    Half a month ago, he had trained Angry Dragon Fists to the high level. Now, his Angry Dragon Skill had reached the peak level.


    The peak level represented ninety percent or higher of the skills maximum damage, which was nearly fifty percent stronger than it had at the high level. Up to now, Zhao Feng had never heard of any other outer disciples who had trained a middle ranked skill to peak level.


    There was still half a month left until the contest.


    Zhao Feng put even more energy into cultivating. His key focus was the Air Crossing Breathing Technique, as it helped with Inner Strength. To further his cultivation, Zhao Feng even used his three-hundred year old blood plant.


    Since he had already formed the first few threads of Inner Strength, his cultivation had increased at an insane speed and he easily broke through to the peak of the third rank. He was only half a step away from entering the fourth rank.


    _Hu~_


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath. He had trained his body to its maximum potential.


    ¡°There are still three days left. I wonder if I can reach the fourth rank,¡± Zhao Feng murmured. The Zhao sect¡¯s most favoured genius, Zhao Linlong had apparently reached the fourth rank two years ago.


    For the next two days, Zhao Feng tried to reach the fourth rank, but failed at both of his attempts. This was within his expectations.


    ¡°My chi and body strength is still far away from reaching the fourth rank.¡± Zhao Feng soon found the reason. The first three ranks of the Martial Path talked about a solid foundation. If the foundation was not solid, it would affect the realms later on.


    And for the past two months Zhao Feng had broken through at extreme speed, which made his foundation unstable. Zhao Feng knew this and did not forcibly try to reach the fourth rank.


    *********************


    Soon there was only one day left.


    ¡°The family sparring contest will start tomorrow!¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath and a faint green glow appeared as he opened his palms. Having inner strength, he could instantly kill a cultivator of the third rank. Now, his strength was not that of a quasi Martial Artist anymore. It was that of a half-step Martial Artist!


    A quasi Martial Artist could easily defeat a normal third rank in one or two moves and would even be a threat towards deadly beasts such as the Green Headed Tiger King. However, once one reached the point of half-step Martial Artist, one¡¯s strength exceeded that of a quasi Martial Artist considerably.


    Zhao Feng could now even exchange a few blows with the Green Headed Tiger King. The biggest difference between him and Martial Artists was not body strength, instead it was the amount of his chi.


    ****************


    _That night, in a certain garden in the Zhao sect..._


    _Jiang!_


    A sword was drawn from its sheath and created illusions in the air. The sword¡¯s owner was a youth clothed in purple. The power of his sword had reached a frightening level. His casual strikes could be compared with Xin Fei¡¯s Cracking Wind Sword, which could kill cultivators of the third rank in one move.


    ¡°Yijian¡¯er, not bad! You have already trained the high rank skill Cold Flowing Sword to the high level. Out of the outer disciples, it is probably only you who have trained a High rank martial art to the high level,¡± a middle-aged man said, smiling.


    The purple clothed youth was Zhao Yijian, who was ranked third amongst the outer disciples.


    ¡°It looks like the first place amongst the outer disciples will be changing soon. And Zhao Feng, that bug, will be crushed under my feet!¡± Zhao Yijian said coldly.


    When he mentioned Zhao Feng, his sword suddenly executed five different blows. The strength he used would even shock true Martial Artists.


    ¡°Yijian¡¯er, your eyesight is limited. Do not just think about the outer disciples.¡± The middle aged man shook his head, ¡°Your true opponents are inner disciples! With your strength, you can easily make in into the top twenty, but you will be making me blush if you could make it to the top ten.¡±


    ¡°Yes, father! I am seventy percent sure that I can make the top ten,¡± Zhao Yijian said confidently.


    ********************


    _In another building in the Zhao sect..._


    ¡°Yufei, the preliminaries are starting tomorrow. How confident are you?¡± a one-armed old man asked as he smiled.


    ¡°Do not worry grandfather, I have complete confidence that no one amongst the outer disciples is my match.¡± Zhao Yufei face glowed warmly as she smiled.


    ¡°You need only worry about Zhao Yijian. As for Zhao Yue, his forte is defense so he should not be able to threaten you,¡± the one-armed old man analysed.


    ¡°Zhao Yijian? Maybe.¡± Zhao Yufei was incredulous. Being one of the sect¡¯s geniuses, there was no one who could enter her eyes. However, she did not know why that youth kept appearing in her mind. That person was not even ranked in the top ten amongst the outer disciples¡­


    ¡°Also, if you enter the finals and meet Zhao Linlong, who is ranked first, do not be stubborn. After all, he is the most powerful one amongst the Zhao sect¡¯s youths,¡± the old man warned.


    ******************


    _At the same time, in a magnificent structure..._


    ¡°Gan¡¯er, Kun¡¯er, both of you have to perform well in this year¡¯s contest. Especially you, Gan¡¯er. Your strength has reached that of a quasi Martial Artist. With that, you should aim for the top ten,¡± an arrogant voice sounded.


    ¡°Yes father! With my strength, even Zhao Yue, who is ranked first amongst the outer disciples, is not my match,¡± Zhao Gan said casually.


    Zhao Kun, who was standing next to him, said, ¡°Zhao Feng! I have reached the third rank now and have trained the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake to the first six changes. I will beat you at this contest!¡±


    Even some of the elders were anticipating the coming event. Countless of Zhao sect disciples were rubbing their palms together for tomorrow¡¯s fight. Everyone were waiting for the chance to change their destiny¡­


    ******************


    _The morning of the next day..._


    Just as the sky turned bright, a lot of people came into view as they gathered at the Sky Martial Field, an important area of the sect. Many of those who arrived were Zhao sect disciples, and a few of them had middle or high positions in the sect.


    The top three outer disciples, Zhao Yijian, Zhao Yue, and Zhao Yufei, had also arrived.


    Even Zhao Feng was here. This was his first time entering the Sky Martial Field. As time passed the disciples that arrived increased. However, most of them were outer disciples. There were not many inner disciples that showed up.


    The Sky Martial Field had ten stages, all over them with a surface area of one hundred meters.


    Zhao Feng did not find it weird as there would first be preliminaries. The preliminaries started with the outer disciples. Fifty outer disciples would then face off against the other fifty inner disciples. The point of this was to eliminate the weak outer disciples, leaving just the elites behind.


    This meant that the inner disciples did not need to enter the preliminaries. They only had to wait for the final tournament that was half a month later.


    Finally, around twenty inner disciples came by. These inner disciples had interested expressions as they looked towards the outer disciples.


    _¡°_ Hehehe! There are a few strong outer disciples. I wonder how many inner disciples will be eliminated.¡±


    ¡°I think only the top three have a chance at becoming inner disciples,¡± the inner disciples discussed.


    ¡°Look! Zhao Qin, who is ranked fourth amongst the inner disciples, is here!¡±


    The crowd went dead silent.


    She was one of the main focuses of the inner disciples. She had a clear face and a quiet attitude. As Zhao Feng inspected the girl with his left eye, he found out that she had inner strength that was weaker his own!


    ¡°Martial Artist¡­this Zhao Qin has reached the fourth rank of the Martial Path!¡± Zhao Feng sucked in a cold breath. Although he knew that the inner disciples had incredible talent, it was higher than he expected.


    If Zhao Qin, who was ranked fourth, already had a cultivation of the fourth rank, then how strong would Zhao Linlong, who was ranked first, be?


    ¡°I heard that Zhao Qin¡¯s strength is only weaker than the strength of Zhao Linlong, Zhao Han, and Zhao Chi, and that it is one step below the four great geniuses of Sun Feather City.¡±


    ¡°First place Zhao Linlong, second place Zhao Chi, third place Zhao Han¡­none of them are here!¡±


    Zhao Yue, who was first in the outer disciples, felt his expression turn ugly. It was obvious that none of them felt that it was worth watching the matches of the outer disciples. Their strength and rank had reached an unwavering point. Perhaps they would only be seen at the final tournament.


    Half an hour later, a voice sounded throughout the field, ¡°The family sparring contest starts now! Today is the preliminaries and only the outer disciples will participate. Only fifty of the five hundred and twenty two people will proceed to the final tournament!¡±

 20 Core Ranked Martial Art Skill

    The voice sounded the official start of the family sparring contest. The field went quiet.


    ¡°The first round, group elimination! The contestants will be split into ten groups, spread over the ten stages. Now we will start splitting the groups¡­¡±


    Under the sect¡¯s guidance the outer disciples were split into ten different groups.


    ¡°Number 188, seventh stage!¡± Zhao Feng dutifully headed towards the seventh stage.


    The rule was that, out of every stage¡¯s contestants, ten people would be chosen out of the fifty-ish people to proceed to the next round. For example, Zhao Feng¡¯s group had fifty-two people, and only ten of them would proceed to the next round.


    Using his left eye, Zhao Feng scanned across the ten groups and realized that the group splitting was rigged. The most obvious result was that the top ten disciples were all in different groups.


    For example Zhao Yue, who was first, had been sent to the first group. Zhao Yijian and Zhao Yufei, were sent into the second and third groups, respectively. This meant that the top disciples would not meet too early on.


    ¡°Every group has an even spread of strong and weak disciples. This means that there will not be many youths that will advance through luck.¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head in agreement.


    Next, Zhao Feng started to survey the ones that threatened him most.


    The strongest was Zhao Chengang, who was ranked seventh amongst the outer disciples. Zhao Chengang stood tall as his peak of the third rank aura spread out.


    To be able to rank in the top ten amongst the outer disciples meant that they had their own forte. Zhao Feng was taken aback when he felt a familiar person in group seven. It was a beautiful figure clothed in white.


    ¡°Brother Feng,¡± Zhao Xue said as she looked at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng nodded in response.


    ¡°Little Xue! It is alright. Brother Yijian told me to beat up Zhao Feng and make him be unable to achieve a good result,¡± Zhao Chengang, who was ranked first out of the group, said as he walked towards Zhao Xue.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Zhao Xue was going to say something, but stopped herself from doing so. She did not know why she did not want Zhao Feng to achieve a good result¡­


    ********************


    The tournament started.


    ¡°Thirteen vs sixty-five!¡±


    ¡°Forty-eight vs three hundred and fifty-five!¡±


    ¡°One hundred and seventy-nine vs twenty-four!¡±


    The judges¡¯ voices sounded in each group.


    The first few rounds ended quickly. The judges were all from the sect and had rich experience. For those matches that were one-sided, the judges could always quickly make the correct decision.


    For example, Zhao Chengang defeated his opponent in one hit.


    ¡°One hundred and eighty-eight vs twenty-four!¡± It was finally Zhao Feng¡¯s turn.


    _Teng!_ His body swiftly landed on stage.


    Twenty-four was a youth with a cultivation of the second rank. His eyes showed fear when he realized that Zhao Feng was at the third rank.


    ¡°Slamming Wind Palm!¡± The slightly fat youth grit his teeth and attacked with all his might. The skill he used was at the middle rank, and used speed to try and win.


    ¡°Flaming Metal Fists!¡± Zhao Feng casually waved his fist.


    The moment he used his fist skill the expression of the judge on the seventh stage changed. This was because Zhao Feng was using a core rank martial art skill!


    _Peh!_


    As they exchanged blows the slightly fat youth was sent flying.


    ¡°Number one hundred and eighty-eight wins!¡± the judge said. Because Zhao Feng¡¯s opponent was not strong he did not receive much attention.


    ¡°Hmph! This kid is so arrogant, using a core rank martial art!¡± the disciples below sniggered.


    ¡°Number one hundred and eighty-eight vs number sixty-six!¡± Soon, it was Zhao Feng¡¯s time to go up again.


    There was a rule in each group: once one lost a total of ten matches one was eliminated. The matches would not stop until there were only ten people left.


    But, if one could win twenty matches in a row one would automatically be promoted to the second round.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s second match was against a horse-faced youth who had a cultivation at the peak of the second rank.


    ¡°Flaming Metal Fist!¡± Zhao Feng did not even think as he hit the vital parts of the opponent.


    _Peh!_


    The horse-faced youth cringed as he fell head over heels to the ground.


    ¡°He used a core rank martial art again!¡± The Zhao sect disciples looked on disdainfully.


    ¡°Number one hundred and eighty-eight wins!¡±


    This was already Zhao Feng¡¯s second victory. However, for the next two matches, Zhao Feng still used the core rank martial art.


    Four wins in a row!


    ¡°This brat¡¯s way too arrogant! Does he think he is unbeatable by using a core rank martial art?¡±


    ¡°Hmph! His opponents aren¡¯t even strong! Once he faces someone of the same rank it won¡¯t be that easy!¡± the disciples below sniggered.


    ¡°Number one hundred and eighty-eight vs number forty-seven!¡± Finally, at the fifth round, Zhao Feng¡¯s opponent was someone of the third rank, who was also ranked in the top five in his group.


    ¡°Zhao Kui! Beat that kid!¡± someone shouted. Many were already dissatisfied with Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Kid, this is as far as you go.¡± Zhao Kui¡¯s muscular body stood in front. His immense strength was all compacted in his muscles. He normally just had to stand there and the second rankers would admit defeat due to the pressure.


    There were a total of around sixty people who had reached the third rank amongst the outer disciples. Therefore, a third rank was considered to be powerful in the groups.


    ¡°Use all of your skills,¡± Zhao Feng faintly smiled, he did not put normal third rankers in his eyes.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­if you¡¯ve got guts, keep on using that core rank martial art!¡± Zhao Kui laughed and, like a lion, pounced towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Lion King¡¯s Anger!¡± Zhao Kui compacted all of his strength into his body. Most peak third rankers would not even face off against him.


    ¡°Hehe, not bad! See if you can block my move, Flaming Metal Fist!¡± Zhao Feng actually still used core level martial arts!


    Flaming Metal Fist again? The disciples watching almost fainted.


    _Hu!_


    A loud thump sounded from the seventh stage and a scream soon followed.


    _Boom!_


    Zhao Kui¡¯s massive body lay on the ground, with a few of his teeth broken.


    _What!?_ The crowd below stared at this scene.


    ¡°Number one hundred and eighty-eight wins!¡± Even the judge felt that it was unbelievable. He again won with a core rank martial art!


    Five wins in a row!


    This was slapping the disciples¡¯ faces on purpose.


    ¡°Core rank martial art¡­how is this possible¡­?¡± Zhao Kui walked off stage, his face green.


    After beating Zhao Kui, Zhao Feng¡¯s matches became easier.


    Five wins¡­six wins...seven wins in a row! All those under the third rank admitted defeat when they saw him. The only other person with the same record as him in group seven was Zhao Chengang.


    ¡°It looks like this kid has trained the core ranked martial art to the peak level, no wonder it is so powerful. Hehe wait until you meet me, then I¡¯ll let you have a taste of high level martial art skills¡­¡± Zhao Chengang laughed coldly.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Chengang had become known as the ¡®Duo Eagles¡¯ of the seventh stage, as they both had not lost one match yet.


    Seven wins¡­eight wins¡­nine wins¡­ten wins in a row!


    ¡°Who do you think is stronger? Zhao Feng or Zhao Chengang?¡±


    ¡°I think Zhao Chengang is a bit stronger, but Zhao Feng is not weak either, he is a black horse.¡±


    They had two people with the same streak, unlike the other groups where there was just a single dominant figure. For example, all the opponents Zhao Yue and Zhao Yijian faced all conceded.


    Zhao Yijian¡¯s strength was too powerful. Every move he took could kill his opponent. Only group seven had the ¡®Duo Eagles¡¯. Many were excited and looked forward to the clash between Zhao Feng and Zhao Chengang.


    In Zhao Feng¡¯s twelfth match, he met a familiar person. It was Zhao Xue!


    This was an awkward opponent for him. ¡°Little Xue, admit defeat,¡± Zhao Feng said calmly.


    Zhao Xue had barely managed to reach the peak of the second rank, she obviously wasn¡¯t his match. Even Zhao Yijian, who was in group two, looked over to see what was going on.


    ¡°Admit defeat? Never!¡± Zhao Xue bit her lip as her expression turned stubborn. She would never allow herself to admit defeat in front of Zhao Feng.


    When they were at Green Leaf Village, Zhao Xue had loved Zhao Feng, thinking he was the most talented youth there was. However, after entering Sun Feather City she realized that Green Leaf Village was so tiny in comparison¡­


    Being a weak young woman, she could not adapt to the cruel new environment, so she made a hard decision ¨C to climb onto Zhao Yijian who was ranked third. Zhao Xue would never allow herself to admit defeat to her first love that she had thrown away.


    ¡°Fine!¡± Zhao Feng shook his head helplessly.


    ¡°Floating Wind Hand!¡± Zhao Xue was like a wind that merged into that palm and came straight towards Zhao Feng¡¯s head. Floating Wind Hand was a martial art skill at the peak of the middle rank and was suitable for women as it used softness to break hardness.


    In terms of martial art skill rank, Floating Wind Hand was the same as as Angry Dragon Fists, but it could restrain the latter from using its fullest potential, and even restrain Flaming Metal Fists, as well.


    ¡°Flaming Metal Fist!¡± Zhao Feng did not move and simply threw out a punch.


    _Pah!_


    The fist and palm intertwined together.


    Suddenly Zhao Xue groaned and started to fall.


    _Ai!_


    Zhao Feng gently sighed and tried to help Zhao Xue stabilize. After all¡­they had grown up together and he could not bear to see her being injured.


    ¡°Pointed Wind Finger!¡± The moment Zhao Feng held Zhao Xue, the latter¡¯s eyes flashed coldly and her jade-like fingers sliced at Zhao Feng¡¯s chest.


    This scene caused many disciples to scream in fear. At such a close distance, Zhao Feng could not dodge at all.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Zhao Feng expression turned angry and his body suddenly burst with power, sending Zhao Xue flying.


    _Plop!_


    Zhao Xue screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood as she landed on the ground.


    ¡°Number one hundred and eighty-eight wins,¡± the judge said while looking disdainfully at Zhao Xue. It was obvious Zhao Xue¡¯s actions did not please him.


    ¡°Xue¡¯er!¡± Zhao Yijian came running over.


    Zhao Feng coldly walked down the stage. He had never thought that Zhao Xue would attack him under those conditions.


    ¡°Kid¡­we¡¯ll meet later on! I¡¯ll give you a personal experience of shame!¡± Zhao Yijian coldly said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting.¡± Zhao Feng turned and left without bothering to look at Zhao Xue.


    He then heard Zhao Xue say in the background, ¡°Brother Jian you have got to take revenge for me¡­¡±


    After beating Zhao Xue, Zhao Feng had won twelve matches.


    Twelve wins¡­thirteen wins¡­fourteen wins in a row! Zhao Feng¡¯s record steadily increased.


    His core ranked fist skill wiped out everyone opposite him on the seventh stage. Only Zhao Chengang in the seventh stage still ,had the same record as him.


    ¡°There are still six matches left until I can enter the next round.¡±


    At the fifteenth round, Zhao Feng met Zhao Chengang who was ranked first in the group. The Duo Eagles were now facing each other! The atmosphere on the seventh stage had reached a climax!


    ¡°They are finally meeting each other!¡± The disciples of the seventh stage let out deep breaths as they grew more excited. Even some of the contestants from the other stages looked over at the seventh stage in anticipation of the fight.


    The judge of the seventh stage let out a smile.


    ¡°Kid, I¡¯ve finally met you. If you¡¯ve got skill, then keep using your core rank fist skill.¡± Zhao Chengang licked his lips as his eyes showed a tinge of playfulness.


    In terms of strength, Zhao Chengang was ranked in the top ten amongst the outer disciples and had learned high ranked martial arts, three ranks higher than core rank martial arts.


    ¡°Why not? I will keep on using my core rank fist skill,¡± Zhao Feng agreed calmly.


    What! He was still going to use the core rank fist skill? The crowd all inhaled cold breaths.


    ¡°Did this kid eat the wrong medicine?¡±


    ¡°Way too arrogant! Does he think that, just by using a core rank fist skill alone, he can beat the whole group?¡±


    ¡°Still¡­still using a core rank fist skill?¡± The judge¡¯s face twitched. Even from the judge¡¯s point of view, he thought that Zhao Feng was being way too arrogant!


    His opponent Zhao Chengang¡¯s smile froze, it was like he had been slapped¡­

 21 Max level

    Obviously, Zhao Feng¡¯s words caused some outrage. Especially in the seventh group, almost all of them hated Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hmph! This guy is way too arrogant.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Chengang! Take him down!¡±


    The disturbance caused others to look over.


    ¡°Core rank martial art? That is a bit interesting,¡± a quiet girl smiled as she looked on with interest. She was Zhao Qin, who was ranked fourth amongst the inner disciples. Being an inner disciple, Zhao Qin did not need to enter the preliminaries. With her cultivation, she could beat everyone present. Even when compared to Zhao Yue, their difference was too large.


    ¡°Fine¡­fine¡­fine! I will see¡­how strong your core ranked martial art is!¡± Zhao Chengang¡¯s face was deadly. His opponent¡¯s words were slapping his face!


    ¡°Flowing Wind Fist!¡± Zhao Chengang pushed down his anger and used the high rank skill Flowing Wind Fist. This fist skill used strength and speed to overpower the opponent. Its attack was like a raging storm.


    Zhao Chengang¡¯s strength was well within the crowd¡¯s expectations. His power was approaching that of a quasi Martial Artist and did not disappoint them. However, most of them were more focused on Zhao Feng. Facing the outer disciple ranked seventh, would he still use core rank martial arts?


    Zhao Feng used his actions to prove what he said.


    ¡°Flaming Metal Fist!¡± The simple punch gave off a red glow.


    It was core martial arts again!


    ¡°It is Flaming Metal Fist again!¡±


    ¡°He is still using core rank martial arts?¡± The Zhao sect disciples were shocked. A lot of them had thought that Zhao Feng was just joking, and that he wasn¡¯t going to do it.


    However, the truth was, he was even crazier than expected!


    ¡°Kid, fall!¡± Zhao Chengang¡¯s eyes were spitting fire as his two fists came crushing towards Zhao Feng. The power contained inside his fists made many Zhao sect disciples shout out.


    ¡°Normal third rank cultivators won¡¯t even be able to take this one punch.¡±


    ¡°Not bad, his Flowing Wind Fists has reached the low level, it is obvious that he has trained hard!¡± Even some of the older generation nodded their heads.


    _Peh!_


    The two figures clashed together, fist against fist.


    ¡°Go down!¡± Zhao Chengang pushed his Flowing Wind Fist to the max. If he used a high rank martial art and couldn¡¯t take down Zhao Feng in two or three moves, then how would he be able to get a foot in amongst the top ten outer disciples?


    ¡°Open!¡± Zhao Feng was calm. His fists seemed to be alive and easily blocked Zhao Chengang¡¯s fist.


    _Boom!_


    The burn on Zhao Chengang¡¯s fist made his hand go numb as he was pushed back two steps, while Zhao Feng only trembled, but did not move.


    ¡°How is this possible?¡± Zhao Chengang was shocked. He had thought that he could take down Zhao Feng in one punch, but in reality, he was casually blocked by a core ranked martial art!


    ¡°What is going on!¡± The Zhao sect disciples around paused.


    ¡°I do not believe it¡­it was an accident! It accidentally hit the weakness of my move!¡± Zhao Chengang howled as he again pounced forwards using Flowing Wind Fist.


    _Pah!_


    Once again Zhao Chengang was pushed back. Although the first two moves were even, Zhao Chengang was being constrained.


    ¡°It really is a core martial art skill¡­how did he do that?¡±


    ¡°How can a core rank martial art gain the upper hand while facing a high rank martial art?¡±


    The Zhao sect disciples were confused.


    One move¡­two moves¡­three moves¡­every time, Zhao Chengang was pushed back.


    When two people of the same rank fought it was normal to have one side gain the upper hand. However, using a core rank martial art while fighting against a high rank martial art was unheard of. What was going on?


    Zhao Chengang turned crazy as he used all of his power.


    Many looked towards the judge and the older generation of the sect.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s battle awareness and skill far surpasses Zhao Chengang¡¯s,¡± the judge said uncertainly. His analysis didn¡¯t satisfy the people.


    ¡°Hehe, this kid has trained a core ranked skill to perfection,¡± an old voice sounded from the center of the crowd. It was an old man who had a white beard. It was the contest¡¯s main judge.


    Perfection?


    A few judges quickly nodded their heads. Everyone knew that the higher the skill level, the more damage was dealt. However, this was not the case for everything!


    For example, when one trained a low rank martial art to the high level, and another trained a high rank skill to the low level, the high rank martial art would not be as powerful as the low rank martial art.


    Normally, the levels were: Beginner, low, high and peak level. Peak level meant that it had reached ninety percent or higher.


    Normally, someone training a martial art to the peak level was already very rare. However, peak level did not mean that it was the limit. Above peak level was perfection! Perfection meant that the skill had been trained to at least ninety-nine percent of its fullest potential. It could be said that it could not get any better.


    ¡°Although it seems like there is a small difference between perfection and the peak level, the gap is insanely huge! The difference is even bigger than the difference between the low level and the high level!¡± the main judge smiled faintly.


    ¡°But even so, Zhao Feng should only be able to fight on par against Zhao Chengang.¡± One martial artist still did not understand.


    After all, high ranked martial art skills were three levels higher than core ranked martial art skills, and Zhao Chengang had trained the high rank martial art to the low level.


    ¡°You are right! The highest level of a core rank martial art can barely fight on par with the low level of a high rank martial art. But as you can see, Zhao Feng¡¯s body strength, reaction speed, battle awareness, and so forth all far exceed that of Zhao Chengang¡¯s,¡± the main judge praised. Through his explanation the crowd now fully understood.


    Just at this moment, the battle on the seventh stage was changing.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s starting to attack now!¡±


    ¡°Oh my god! What a fast speed!¡±


    _Peh! Pah! Beng¡­_


    The audience¡¯s eyes were attracted to the seventh stage, only to see Zhao Feng¡¯s defense turn into offense. His fists had already surpassed the realm of what Flaming Metal Fists could achieve.


    His speed and power all struck at his opponent¡¯s weaknesses. Zhao Chengang, who was in a frenzied state, instantly faltered and was hit by one of Zhao Feng¡¯s punches.


    _Pah¡ª_


    Zhao Chengang gave a scream as his shoulder was ripped out of its socket.


    ¡°Number one hundred and eighty-eight wins!¡± the judge of the seventh declared hurriedly as he let out a breath.


    _Hua!_


    The seventh group went into an uproar.


    ¡°Zhao Feng beat Zhao Chengang by only using a core ranked martial art!¡±


    ¡°Unbelievable! Zhao Chengang was ranked first in the group¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng had won his fifteenth match. This meant that he was now the strongest in group seven.


    At this moment Zhao Yue, Zhao Yijian, and Zhao Yufei all looked over.


    ¡°Perfection? When the martial artist held the lecture, I felt all the moves of Flaming Metal Fist disappear from my mind¡­this is probably why,¡± Zhao Feng finally understood.


    When he came back from the lecture he felt that his core ranked martial art had reached a peak, where it could fight against quasi Martial Artists. And Zhao Chengang¡¯s strength had only barely reached that of a quasi Martial Artist.


    ¡°Not bad. It looks like the outer disciples have a black horse,¡± the main judge smiled.


    ¡°Core rank martial art¡­although he has trained it to the highest level, he will still lose against my son Zhao Yijian. After all, core ranked martial arts are just core ranked!¡± a middle-aged man faintly smiled.


    ¡°Oh?¡± The main judge sent an interested look towards the middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man was Zhao Yijian¡¯s father. The middle-aged man laughed as his eyes glanced towards Zhao Yijian with a confident expression.


    ¡°True¡­the potential of core ranked martial arts are limited¡­Zhao Feng must have spent a lot of time and effort to train it to perfection, which means that he would not have much time left to train in other skills¡­so unfortunate,¡± the main judge spoke and shook his head.


    ¡°Hmph! Perfection of a core ranked martial art?¡± Zhao Yijian looked mockingly at Zhao Feng. In his eyes, core ranked martial arts were rubbish.


    The white-clothed girl looked at Zhao Feng, shocked. ¡°Brother Yijian, you have got to beat him.¡±


    ¡°Xue¡¯er, it is fine. I only need three to ten moves at most! But I won¡¯t let him off the hook that easily, I am also going to humiliate him,¡± Zhao Yijian said confidently. His voice was very loud, so many of the people present heard it.


    At this time, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes landed upon him. Their gazes clashed. While Zhao Yijian¡¯s eyes were cold, Zhao Feng had a faint smile.


    ¡°Number one hundred and eighty-eight vs number two hundred and thirty-three!¡± The group contest still continued.


    After Zhao Feng beat Zhao Chengang, he had no more opponents that were his match on the seventh stage.


    Sixteen wins¡­seventeen wins¡­eighteen wins¡­


    Most of the people Zhao Feng met admitted defeat. And those who had the courage to fight, they were finished with one blow.


    ¡°It is too disgraceful to lose against a core ranked martial art!¡±


    The Zhao sect disciples looked at Zhao Feng like he had a disease.


    Eighteen wins¡­nineteen wins¡­twenty wins in a row!


    Finally Zhao Feng won twenty matches in a row, allowing him to proceed to the next round!

 22 Birth of the Black Horse

    _Hu!_


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as he sat down.


    Zhao Feng was a black horse in the group contest. Using just his core ranked martial arts, he had beaten everyone in his way. Even Zhao Chengang, who was ranked seventh amongst the outer disciples, had lost to him.


    ¡°I wonder how the other groups are going.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned across the other stages. The preliminaries was split into ten different group, with each stage having a fair mix of strong and weak disciples.


    Apart from Zhao Feng, there were many others who had won twenty matches in a row, so they were also able to advance straight into the next round. The fastest of them was Zhao Yijian from the second group.


    Zhao Yijian¡¯s sword was extremely fast, before his opponents could react it had reached their throats. In terms of speed to enter the next round, Zhao Yijian was even faster than Zhao Yue.


    ¡°Amongst the outer disciples, only the top three, Zhao Yufei, Zhao Yue and Zhao Yijian, are able to threaten me.¡±


    Zhao Yue¡¯s age was slightly higher, seventeen years old, and his muscular body seemed extremely big.


    ¡°Reverse Wind Fist!¡± One disciple of the third rank punched Zhao Yue, but the latter did not even move.


    What!?


    The disciple¡¯s forehead started to sweat. What defense!


    Zhao Feng was slightly shocked. The full attack of a third rank could not even injure Zhao Yue a little bit. Zhao Yue must have trained in a high rank body strengthening skill to allow his defense to surpass the damage dealt by the same rank.


    Zhao Feng could not take on the blows from a third rank cultivator with just his body.


    If Zhao Yijian was said to be fast and explosive, then Zhao Yue was the opposite. He was slow and his defense was impenetrable.


    Zhao Yufei used softness to beat hardness. She would casually wave her hand and defeat the opponent. Every move of hers seemed flawless. She wore a purple robe and her beauty was outstanding. Those that watched her had a refreshing feeling.


    ¡°Who is she? To have the strength of a quasi Martial Artist at such a young age.¡± Even a few of the inner disciples were attracted by Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°She¡¯s beautiful and talented at the same time. When people like her enter the inner disciples, we won¡¯t even have a chance.¡±


    ¡°She is still too young. Another two years and she might be able to be compared with Sun Feather City¡¯s most beautiful girl, Qiu Mengyu.¡±


    Up to a certain point, more people focused on her rather than Zhao Yue and Zhao Yijian, who were first and second. This was mainly due to her beauty and talent.


    Soon the ten groups each had a person with twenty matches in a row. The first group was Zhao Yue, second group Zhao Yijian, third group Zhao Yufei, fourth group Zhao Gan, fifth group Zhao Guang¡­


    They were all ranked amongst the top ten outer disciples.


    However, there was one unexpected person from group seven. Zhao Feng was a black horse that rushed out and took Zhao Chengang¡¯s spot.


    Apart from these ten people, not many others won twenty matches in a row.


    The group contests kept on running until there were ten people left in each group. Using one day of time, there was now a total of one hundred disciples left. These one hundred were the elite of the outer disciples.


    On the second day, the one hundred people once again met at the Sky Martial Field.


    Having rested for one night, Zhao Feng felt very energetic. He found that these matches had helped increase his cultivation to a certain extent.


    ¡°Today we will entering the second round of elimination! All of you are the elites of the outer disciples, but today, half of you will be eliminated, leaving fifty of you to enter the final tournament! Here are the rules¡­¡± a voice sounded throughout the field.


    The one hundred contestants held their breaths as they listened to the rules.


    The ranking was done by gaining points, everyone started with one point and every match they won would increase their points by one, with every loss one point would be deducted.


    Finally, the fifty people with the most points would fight against the inner disciples.


    ¡°Start!¡± the judge¡¯s voice sounded.


    ¡°Number one hundred and forty-four vs number twenty-six!¡¯


    ¡°Number seventy-three vs number four hundred and twenty-nine!¡±


    The ten different stages quickly all had matches going on.


    Many would admit defeat if they saw that their opponent was too strong. For example, Zhao Yue and Zhao Yijian¡¯s opponents admitted defeat as soon as they saw them. They would rather conserve their strength for the next round.


    ¡°Number one hundred and eighty-eight vs number one hundred and sixty-nine!¡±


    Finally it was Zhao Feng¡¯s turn. His opponent was a black-faced youth of the second rank.


    ¡°I admit defeat!¡± The black-faced youth saw that it was Zhao Feng, so he immediately surrendered.


    Zhao Feng was slightly stunned. The black-faced youth had been in the same group as Zhao Feng during the first round, but they never exchanged blows.


    Like this, Zhao Feng gained his first point and his tally went up to two.


    Soon Zhao Feng met his second opponent. This time his opponent was a girl of the second rank.


    ¡°I know your strength is strong but I will not admit defeat,¡± the simple clothed girl bit her lip.


    Facing this type of weak woman, some would let her win on purpose.


    ¡°Flaming Metal Fist!¡±


    The simple punch once again came and knocked the girl six meters back. One move, swift and simple! Zhao Feng did not want to waste time as the opponent was too weak and would not help him improve.


    I lost! The girl felt disappointed as she walked off.


    ¡°Hmph! Bullying weak girls, what is so cool about that?¡±


    ¡°Wait till I go on, I will take revenge for sister Xin!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions caused some youths to look at him in disdain.


    ¡°Number one hundred and eighty-eight wins!¡± The judge looked approvingly at Zhao Feng.


    The next matches were too easy. Zhao Feng¡¯s points continued to rise.


    ¡°I give up!¡±


    ¡°I admit defeat!¡±


    ¡°Flaming Metal Fist!¡±


    Most of Zhao Feng¡¯s opponents gave up, but the ones who didn¡¯t lost instantly.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s strength has probably reached the quasi Martial Artist rank.¡±


    As more matches went on, more and more people started to understand his strength.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t forget to pay attention to Zhao Yue and Zhao Yijian.


    _At this time, on the third stage..._


    ¡°Quick! Look! It is Zhao Yijian vs Zhao Gan!¡±


    Zhao Feng turned to see the two were already exchanging blows.


    The second and fourth strongest outer disciple fighting easily gained the crowd¡¯s attention. These two people were both ranked amongst the top five and originally their strength did not have much difference.


    ¡°Tenth Change of the Poisonous Snake!¡± Zhao Gan shouted as he twisted and twirled on the ground like a snake. He was so agile that he managed to dodge Zhao Yijian¡¯s sword many times.


    Zhao Feng was slightly moved as Zhao Gan¡¯s strength had increased a lot since their encounter last month. He had also trained the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake to the tenth change, which meant that he now had the strength of a quasi Martial Artist.


    Zhao Gan¡¯s strength was on par with Xin Fei from Sky Cloud Forest.


    ¡°Although you have improved a lot, you will still lose to me like you used to,¡± Zhao Yijian said as he increased his speed once more.


    ¡°It is the high rank skill Cold Flowing Sword! This is an extremely hard skill to train!¡± someone called out.


    Zhao Yijian¡¯s sword became faster and faster. Zhao Gan was able to dodge at first, but as time passed he was evaded less and less. Soon a few slash marks appeared on Zhao Gan¡¯s body.


    ¡°Zhao Yijian wins!¡± The judge stopped the fight as the sect wanted Zhao Gan to proceed to the next round without being too injured.


    At this time, Zhao Gan¡¯s back was full of cold sweat as he looked incredulously at Zhao Yijian, ¡°How did you do this¡­?¡±


    Zhao Yijian used less than ten moves to beat Zhao Gan.


    ¡°Zhao Yijian¡¯s strength is so strong!¡± one of the Zhao sect disciples exclaimed.


    Zhao Yijian and Zhao Gan did spar before, but at that time the fight lasted for a long time, with them exchanging over one-hundred blows. But now he only needed ten!


    ¡°Zhao Yijian¡¯s strength can probably be compared to Zhao Yue now,¡± a few guessed.


    Zhao Yijian and Zhao Yue. One¡¯s forte was attack while the other¡¯s was defense.


    What would happen if these two met? Many were waiting for the clash. Zhao Yijian and Zhao Yue were the two hot picks for the title of ¡®Strongest Outer Disciple¡¯.


    Zhao Yufei had not lost yet, either.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face remained calm as he looked on. He had now won forty-four matches in a row. However at this time he met a powerful opponent. It was the fifth ranked outer disciple, Zhao Guang!


    Zhao Guang had over forty points, and the only match he had lost was against Zhao Yue.


    ¡°Hehe, kid! Your streak ends here!¡± Zhao Guang laughed happily.


    Many looked gloatingly towards Zhao Feng. Fifth rank Zhao Guang was the strongest opponent he had faced so far.


    ¡°Your strength barely steps into the quasi Martial Artist rank,¡± Zhao Feng said calmly.


    ¡°Really? Then I¡¯ll have a taste of what skills you have apart from the core ranked martial arts,¡± Zhao Guang¡¯s eyes flashed.


    _Shua!_


    As soon as he finished his words he moved to Zhao Feng¡¯s side.


    ¡°What speed!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Guang and Zhao Yufei are both known for their footwork.¡± Zhao Guang¡¯s speed caused many praises from the crowd.


    A contest of speed? Zhao Feng looked mockingly at Zhao Guang.


    _Shua!_


    When Zhao Guang¡¯s palm was just about to hit Zhao Feng, the target disappeared from under his eyes! It was as if his palm split Zhao Feng into the air.


    _Not good¡­_ , Zhao Guang thought.


    _Hua!_


    The disciples below stared at the scene. Many who reacted fast stared behind Zhao Guang.


    Angry Dragon Fists!


    Zhao Guang only felt something come towards his back.


    _Pah!_


    Zhao Guang instinctively tried to block the blow, and managed to do so, but then he felt a raging strength overpower him.


    _Boom¡ª¡ª_


    Zhao Guang fell back a few meters and almost fell.


    ¡°What skill did he learn for his speed to be so fast!¡± Zhao Guang¡¯s heart rippled with shock.

 23 The High Level of a High Ranked Skill

    After the first exchange, their differences were immediately visible.


    Zhao Guang finally steadied himself as he stared at Zhao Feng in shock.


    Zhao Feng did not attack. In terms of speed, he had complete confidence that even some of the fourth rank cultivators would be unable to beat him.


    At this point, the battle between Zhao Feng and Zhao Guang was the focus of the entire crowd.


    ¡°His speed is even faster than Zhao Guang!¡± The top three outer disciples were stunned.


    ¡°What a beautiful footwork skill!¡± The elders watching were also shocked.


    ¡°His skill is so familiar,¡± the main judge murmured.


    ¡°He has learned Lightly Floating Ferry! I am sure!¡± One martial artist gave Zhao Feng a complicated look. This martial artist had once studied Lightly Floating Ferry. However, it was too hard to train in Lightly Floating Ferry¡¯s footwork, even though it was only one part of the skill, so he had only trained in it for two years before giving up.


    ¡°It is Lightly Floating Ferry!¡±


    ¡°To be able to train Lightly Floating Ferry to such a high degree means that his comprehension is not bad¡­¡±


    Although Lightly Floating Ferry was a high rank skill, it was considered a broken skill with limited potential.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s attacking!¡±


    Zhao Feng was like the wind, his speed was just too fast. Zhao Guang used all of his strength, but still could not dodge Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks.


    ¡°The fifth stance of the Angry Dragon!¡±


    Angry Dragon Fists was very popular amongst the middle ranked martial art skills so it was easily recognized.


    _Peh! Pah! Beng¡­_


    Zhao Feng pressed Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang felt as if he couldn¡¯t breathe as the pressure was too strong. Every punch would make him fall back. He was being completely dominated by Zhao Feng.


    In terms of speed, Zhao Feng easily surpassed him. In terms of power, Zhao Feng also exceeded him.


    _Wah!_


    After blocking the eighth punch, Zhao Guang spat out a mouthful of blood and surrendered. Zhao Guang, who was ranked fifth, had lost in ten moves.


    Although they knew Zhao Feng was strong, and could challenge the top five, the results still astonished the crowd. Zhao Feng¡¯s performance wasn¡¯t any weaker than Zhao Yue and company.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s intelligence is very high. Not only did he train a core rank martial art to the highest level, he¡¯s also trained Angry Dragon Fists to the peak level.¡±


    ¡°He could beat Zhao Guang just by relying on his peak level, middle ranked martial art skill,¡± the elders praised Zhao Feng.


    The matches continued.


    There were only four people who had straight wins: Zhao Yue, Zhao Yijian, Zhao Yufei, and Zhao Feng. These four were known as the Four Strong.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng!¡± The crowd cheered as Zhao Feng went on stage. Every time he went on, most opponents admitted defeat, or were defeated in under three moves.


    Zhao Feng even met Zhao Kun.


    ¡°I give up!¡± Zhao Kun bit his lip and wanted to dig a hole to hide in it.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had already surpassed his brother¡¯s, how could he win?


    The Four Strong continued to dominate their matches. Many were anticipating when the Four Strong would clash.


    Finally, after sixty wins, Zhao Yue, who was ranked first, faced off against Zhao Yijian, who was ranked second.


    ¡°Zhao Yue! Zhao Yue!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Yijian! Zhao Yijian!¡±


    Many people screamed in anticipation.


    ¡°Zhao Yue! Since the battle I lost to you half a year ago, we finally meet again!¡± Zhao Yijian was full of fighting will.


    In the outer disciples, Zhao Yue was very low key. All he did was cultivate every day and therefore, his foundation was the most solid, allowing him to constantly sit on the number one seat.


    ¡°Make your move, we will see if your Cold Flowing Sword is stronger than my Metal Body.¡± Zhao Yue¡¯s height towered over Zhao Yijian.


    _Jiang!_


    Zhao Yijian took his sword out of its sheath.


    The moment Cold Flowing Sword was used, the air felt like it was freezing.


    ¡°Metal Palm!¡± Zhao Yue¡¯s body stood tall as his fist punched towards the sword.


    _Peng!_


    The explosion made the eardrums of lower level cultivators tremble.


    Zhao Yijian moved back two steps, then spun around to stab at Zhao Yue¡¯s lower body.


    ¡°One of them is defensive while the other is offensive.¡±


    It was obvious that the strength that Zhao Yijian and Zhao Yue showed could easily beat quasi Martial Artists.


    If Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t formed his chi, he wouldn¡¯t be able to break through Zhao Yue¡¯s defenses.


    _Ding! Ding! Beng¡­_


    Zhao Yue and Zhao Yijian¡¯s fight went into red hot mode. Zhao Yijian¡¯s sword became faster and faster. The ice cold air enveloped Zhao Yue¡¯s body. Zhao Yue continued to block Zhao Yijian¡¯s sword.


    If it was another third rank instead of Zhao Yue they would have been finished in one move.


    ¡°Zhao Yue¡¯s foundation is very solid and his specialty is defense. If Zhao Yijian cannot win in half the time it take tea to boil, then he will not win,.¡± the main judge said.


    ¡°Hehe, half the time it takes for tea to boil? He will not need that long,¡± the middle-aged man,Zhao Yijian¡¯s father, said confidently.


    ¡°Oh?¡± The main judge¡¯s expression changed.


    At this moment, the battle suddenly changed.


    _Hu!_


    Zhao Yue groaned as his arm was cut.


    ¡®How could my Metal Body be broken¡­?¡± Zhao Yue¡¯s face turned white.


    Metal Body was a skill that made one¡¯s body turn as tough as metal. Accompanied with Metal Fists, his strength and defense had reached a high grade. He believed that no one under the fourth rank could penetrate his defense.


    ¡°High level of a high rank martial art skill!¡± the judge shouted.


    High level of a high rank martial art? The disciples nearby sucked in a cold breath.


    For most high ranked martial arts, it was already hard enough to train them to the low level. To train one to the high level was many times harder.


    However, once it reached the high level, the damage of the skill would be fifty percent higher than what it was at the low level.


    Flowing Cold Sword was already a terrifying high rank offense skill. When someone of the third rank trained it to the low level, one could have the strength of a quasi Martial Artist. If one trained it to the high level, it could threaten Martial Artists.


    ¡°High level of a high rank martial art! No wonder! Congratulations Zhao Tianjian, for having such a talented son,¡± the main judge smiled towards Zhao Yijian¡¯s father.


    ¡°Thank you elder!¡± Zhao Tianjian was shocked as the main judge was an elder, whose status was far higher than his own.


    _On the stage..._


    ¡°Ice Cold Flash!¡±


    Zhao Yijian pushed his sword to an even faster speed.


    _Fssssh!_


    Zhao Yue¡¯s shirt was ripped into pieces as his body was cut multiple times.


    ¡°Zhao Yijian wins!¡± the judge immediately said.


    ¡°High level of a high rank martial art. I did not lose unjustly,¡± Zhao Yue said as he sighed.


    After defeating Zhao Yue, Zhao Yijian¡¯s momentum couldn¡¯t be stopped.


    ¡°Zhao Yijian! Zhao Yijian!¡±


    The crowd belows cheered. Many youths looked up in awe to him. Zhao Yijian was now the king of the outer disciples.


    Zhao Yijian surveyed the area and his eyes landed on Zhao Feng. His lips curled into a cold smile as he looked disdainfully at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Brother Jian!¡± Zhao Xue who¡¯s face was fully red ran up to him. She believed that his strength was unbeatable. At the same time, she glanced towards Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was expressionless.


    Now there were only three people left with a perfect record, Zhao Yijian, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei. However, now there was not much anticipation left.


    In the crowd¡¯s opinion, Zhao Yijian would not lose to anyone from the outer disciples. He would even be ranked highly amongst the inner disciples!


    ¡°High level of a high rank martial art?¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    His perfect record kept on escalating and soon reached sixty wins¡­sixty-one wins¡­


    However, the fight between Zhao Yijian and Zhao Feng could not be avoided.


    Finally, at his sixty-ninth match, Zhao Feng saw the purple-clothed youth stand on stage.


    It was Zhao Yijian!


    The crowd turned silent as the two faced each other. After all, Zhao Feng also had a perfect record..


    ¡°Zhao Feng! You won¡¯t admit defeat, will you?¡± Zhao Yijian mockingly said.


    In his opinion, the only one who was his opponent was Zhao Yue, all the others were rubbish.

 24 Top Outer Disciple, Part One

    Facing Zhao Yijian¡¯s disdain, Zhao Feng only faintly smiled. Although Zhao Yijian was strong, he had an arrogant attitude. This meant that it was useless to talk to him. Only with actions could you prove what you wanted to say.


    Although Zhao Feng did not respond, his attitude was like needles in Zhao Yijian¡¯s eyes.


    The crowd was slightly taken aback. Zhao Yijian was already very arrogant, but Zhao Feng¡¯s silence did more than what words could say.


    ¡°Kid, if you don¡¯t speak now, you won¡¯t be able to speak later,¡± Zhao Yijian said deeply.


    _Jiang!_


    His sword flashed in front of Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Yijian started with Cold Flowing Sword. Although he was very arrogant, he knew that Zhao Feng had the strength of a quasi Martial Artist, so he had to go full out.


    Zhao Feng felt a chill coming from the sword.


    _Ssssss!_


    The sword missed Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder by half an inch.


    ¡°What a high technique! I can only see the after-image!¡±


    If he only had the strength of a quasi Martial Artist, then he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to face the high level of Cold Flowing Sword.


    Zhao Feng knew that his defense was not equal to Zhao Yue¡¯s.


    _Ceng!_


    As light as a leaf, Zhao Feng pulled away from Zhao Yijian.


    In terms of defense, Zhao Feng was not Zhao Yijian¡¯s match, not unless he learned a high rank body strengthening technique like Zhao Yue.


    ¡°Where are you running!¡± Zhao Yijian swiftly jumped and used Cold Flowing Sword in mid-air.


    No matter how hard Zhao Feng tried to dodge, the chill continued to follow him.


    ¡°No wonder it is the high level of a high ranked martial art!¡± Zhao Feng thought, He knew that although his Angry Dragon Fists had reached the peak level, it was not a match for Zhao Yijian¡¯s Cold Flowing Sword.


    ¡°Ice Cold Flying Explosion!¡±


    Zhao Yijian¡¯s move suddenly changed. The sword turned towards Zhao Feng¡¯s landing spot.


    Not good! Zhao Feng was in midair and once he landed, he would not be able to dodge Zhao Yijian¡¯s area attack.


    ¡°What a Cold Flowing Sword! He can already use area attacks while still below the fourth rank!¡±


    ¡°Looks like the battle has been decided!¡± the older generation who were watching praised.


    ¡°Come down!¡± Zhao Yijian¡¯s Ice Cold Flying Explosion sent a frenzied blast towards the lower part of Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    ¡°Lightly Floating Wave!¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he compacted all of his blood, allowing him to jump in midair.


    _Teng!_


    His body left the pull of gravity as he jumped over Zhao Yijian¡¯s killing move.


    _How¡­is this possible?_ Zhao Yijian stood dazed as he saw Zhao Feng ¡®jump¡¯ over his killing move.


    ¡°What! Zhao Feng has trained Lightly Floating Ferry to such a high degree!¡± the main judge praised as he stroked his beard.


    ¡°Lightly Floating Wave! That is the ultimate move of Lightly Floating Ferry, how did he manage to do this?¡± the martial artist who had once trained in Lightly Floating Ferry exclaimed as he stood up from shock.


    _On the stage..._


    Zhao Feng was running while Zhao Yijian tried to catch up. Soon, Zhao Yijian¡¯s Cold Flowing Sword was approaching high level, its damage and speed rapidly increasing.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t bad either. His Lightly Floating Ferry made him as light as a feather and although it seemed like he could only barely dodge the sword, the sword did not even touch him once.


    Time flew by. While Zhao Feng was running, he tried to find any flaws in Zhao Yijian¡¯s skill so that he could retaliate.


    However, he suddenly realized that he could not even get close to Zhao Yijian, or else he would face a killing move. His Angry Dragon Fists could not block even one of Zhao Yijian¡¯s sword blows. If he tried to block one, he would get injured.


    ¡°Do I have to use¡­¡± Zhao Feng sucked in a breath as the inner strength in his body awakened, then disappeared.


    Relying on the Hiding Air Technique, he concealed his inner strength.


    While in midair, Zhao Feng suddenly put his energy into his left eye.


    _Peh! Peh!_


    The moment the left eye was activated, Zhao Feng went into super-vision mode.


    Although Zhao Yijian¡¯s sword was fast, it slowed down in his eyes.


    He could even see where the strength in Zhao Yijian¡¯s body gathered, and through that, Zhao Feng could predict where Zhao Yijian was going to attack next.


    _Teng! Teng!¡­_


    Zhao Feng dodged all the attacks easily.


    ¡°Angry Dragon Fist!¡± At a certain point, Zhao Feng retaliated.


    ¡°Ice Cold Wind!¡± Zhao Yijian neither dodged nor defended. Instead his sword went for Zhao Feng¡¯s throat.


    Zhao Feng felt helpless. He could find gaps in Zhao Yijian¡¯s moves, he could not attack since he would be unable to dodge Zhao Yijian¡¯s sword.


    _Cold Flowing Sword focuses on sharpness and offense. It does not have any defense at all! However he has trained it to the high level so his flaws are small and I only have a fifty percent chance to win_ , Zhao Feng analyzed and predicted inside his mind.


    The biggest difference between him and Zhao Yijian was the martial art skill level. To beat Zhao Yijian, he only had two options.


    The first way was to stall, stall until the opponent got tired. Zhao Feng had complete confidence that, with his left eye and inner strength, he could outlast Zhao Yijian.


    The second way was to use his inner strength and win by force!


    Just as Zhao Feng was thinking this...


    ¡°Judge, I think that the two of them are both geniuses and if it drags on and one of them gets injured or dies, we will be punished by the sect.¡±


    Usually, even if they stalled, Zhao Yijian had a fifty to sixty percent chance of winning, but he had an unknown feeling that stalling wasn¡¯t a good idea.


    ¡°But¡­they have not finished yet.¡± The fight¡¯s judge was a bit hesitant since Zhao Tianjian¡¯s cultivation had reached the sixth rank, and his status wasn¡¯t low.


    ¡°Although they have not finished yet, can you not see who has got the upper hand?¡± Zhao Tianjian gave a ¡®knowing¡¯ look towards the stage¡¯s judge. It was obvious that if this was done well, there¡¯d be great rewards¡­


    ¡°Fine,¡± the judge said, ¡°Number one hundred and eighty-eight, Zhao Feng, you have the lower hand, so if this drags out the judge has the right to make the decision.¡±


    _This was ok?_


    Zhao Feng felt anger surge in his heart. The judge was obviously biased towards Zhao Yijian. Obviously, the judge couldn¡¯t openly say that Zhao Yijian won, but being the judge, they had the right to make a decision after a while. For example, the judge could make a decision if a match dragged out for too long.


    The judge¡¯s decision did cause some disturbance.


    ¡°Although Zhao Feng¡¯s got the lower hand, he is not losing at all.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, all he can do is run! He¡¯s just wasting our time!¡±


    The crowd discussed this quietly.


    Although some of the older generation felt that this was unjust, they were not willing to offend Zhao Tianjian and his son just for a mere branch sect disciple.


    ¡°Fine! I will not run!¡± Zhao Feng laughed bitterly as he stopped.


    ¡°Kid! Take my sword!¡± Zhao Yijian looked gratefully towards his father.


    Zhao Tianjian stood with his hands behind his back, faintly smiling. At this point, some people, like Zhao Kun, had gloating faces.


    Zhao Xue looked at that familiar figure and sighed. She had complex feelings towards him, some sympathetic, some cold.


    _Sssss!_


    Just as Zhao Yijian¡¯s Cold Flowing Sword approached Zhao Feng, the latter didn¡¯t make any move to dodge.


    ¡°Angry Dragon Fists!¡± Zhao Feng put all his anger into this punch.


    Arrogant! The elders shook their heads.


    ¡°Ai,¡± the stage¡¯s judge sighed as well.


    ¡°Hahaha! It¡¯s no use. Break!¡± Zhao Yijian laughed as he waved his sparkling sword.


    ¡°Open!¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he gave off an extremely powerful aura.


    _Hu~~~_


    A faint green glow appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s arms and fists. It looked beautiful under the sunlight.


    Before the fist arrived, the winds had already struck Zhao Yijian¡¯s body.


    _Peh!_


    With Zhao Feng being at the center, the dust under the unseen force slowly floated upwards.


    ¡°What! That¡¯s¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s¡­¡± The main judge stood up, his face full of excitement.


    _Not good!_ Zhao Tianjian¡¯s expression turned ugly.


    ¡°What is going on!¡± Zhao Yijian felt an unknown pressure bearing down on him, making him unable to even breathe. Even his sword speed was limited. In his eyes, Zhao Feng¡¯s fist was like a roaring dragon¡­


    _Dang! Kraaaak¡ª¡ª_


    Zhao Yijian spat out a mouthful of blood.


    _Clang!_


    His sword split into two pieces and fell onto the ground. There was also an unseen force that travelled through the sword and flowed into his body.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Zhao Yijian groaned as he was knocked twenty meters back.


    _Hu~_


    As Zhao Feng lowered his fist, the dust fell slowly back onto the ground.


    Not knowing how long had passed, someone shouted, ¡°Inner Strength of the Martial Path!¡±


    Zhao Feng had chi!


    A faint green glow flashed throughout Zhao Feng¡¯s body¡­

 25 Top Outer Disciple, Part Two

    Sssss!


    Cold breaths sounded throughout the field. Everyone was completely shocked.


    The white-bearded judge stood up and murmured, ¡±Fourteen years old and he has already understood the principle of Inner Strength. He is easily going to become a Martial Artist. His talent can be compared to Zhao Linlong¡¯s!¡±


    The crowd attention once again focused on Zhao Feng. He was the new king of the outer disciples!


    Zhao Feng looked incredulously at his fists. He had seen Zhao Yijian¡¯s arm break, seen the sword snap in two¡­


    He had even restrained his strength. If he had not, Zhao Yijian¡¯s injury wouldn¡¯t be just a broken arm, at least half his arm would have become useless. If it was a normal third rank cultivator instead, this punch would have killed him instantly.


    _This is the power of inner strength._ Zhao Feng trembled with excitement.


    The disciples in the crowd looked at Zhao Feng in fear. They now understood the difference in strength between Martial Learners and Martial Artists.


    ¡°Zhao Feng wins!¡± The judge glanced deeply at Zhao Feng. Even though he was biased towards Zhao Yijian, Zhao Feng had still won.


    It wasn¡¯t just winning, it was winning with complete strength!


    ¡°Jian¡¯er!¡± Zhao Tianjian screamed and appeared at Zhao Yijian¡¯s side. His speed was so fast that the people nearby only saw a blur.


    ¡°What speed!¡± Zhao Feng estimated that Zhao Yijian¡¯s father had probably reached the sixth rank of the martial path.


    The sixth rank of the martial path was the peak of Martial Artists. Another step further would mean becoming a Martial Master.


    ¡°I lost¡­I cannot believe it¡­¡± Zhao Yijian couldn¡¯t feel his left arm.


    ¡°Call an alchemist!¡± Zhao Tianjian saw that there was a chance of his son¡¯s arm becoming useless, and then turned around. ¡°Youngster! What is the meaning of this?¡± Zhao Tianjian had murderous in his eyes as he looked towards Zhao Feng.


    The aura of the sixth rank of the martial path caused great pressure bearing towards Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng felt as if the air had been frozen. Every word he spoke would cost him a lot of energy. He was lucky that he had his own inner strength to fight against Zhao Tianjian¡¯s aura.


    _Peh! Peh!_


    The faint green glow inside his left eye, which was originally 1.3 meters long, started to creep towards the 1.35m mark. Under the pressure, Zhao Feng had increased his cultivation!


    ¡°Good! Now I have the requirements to break through to the fourth rank!¡± Zhao Feng laughed.


    His slight change did not fool Zhao Tianjian¡¯s eyes.


    _Cannot let him live!_


    Zhao Tianjian felt that Zhao Feng was a threat to him, ¡°Youngster, you¡¯re just a lowly branch disciple. For injuring my son¡¯s arm, I will take away your cultivation.¡±


    _Shuah!_


    In a flash, Zhao Tianjian leapt towards Zhao Feng.


    _Not good!_


    Zhao Feng felt great danger come bearing towards him. It was lucky that he was on guard. The second the power started to condense within Zhao Tianjian¡¯s body, Zhao Feng had seen it with his left eye.


    _Teng!_


    Zhao Feng did not even think at all as he pushed Lightly Floating Ferry to its limit. He jumped over ten meters up and barely managed to dodge the attack. However, he knew that this was the only chance he had to dodge.


    When Zhao Tianjian missed, he knew that something was wrong. ¡°Die!¡± he shouted, as he used his own footwork skill to follow Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Lightly Floating Wave!¡± Zhao Feng double jumped in midair and ran towards the high status people of the sect.


    He knew that Zhao Tianjian only had a middle-high status within the sect. The higher level of the sect would not allow for Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation to be crippled in front of them.


    _Sou!_


    Zhao Feng ran towards his goal at his fastest speed.


    ¡°Gah! This kid¡­!¡± Zhao Tianjian understood Zhao Feng¡¯s intentions.


    ¡°Zhao Tianjian! Stop!¡±a deep voice as loud as thunder boomed. Accompanying this voice, a powerful aura formed overhead. It was a white-bearded old man. He stood in front of Zhao Tianjian.


    _Not good! It is the main judge!_


    Zhao Tianjian knew that he was someone of the seventh rank or higher. However, Zhao Feng was right in front of his eyes! He wasn¡¯t willing to let him go like this! Zhao Tianjian clenched his teeth as he faced the elder.


    ¡°Down!¡± An unseen hand slammed downwards.


    _Pah!_


    Zhao Tianjian felt his power disappear as he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    _Attacking through the air! How strong!_


    It was obvious that the main judge had mastered Transformation Strength, a higher level of Inner Strength.


    ¡°Elder! This Zhao Feng is deadly and cunning! He broke my son¡¯s arm! How can you not punish him?¡± Zhao Tianijan half knelt on the ground as he spoke with fear.


    ¡°Hmph! Who is deadly? When Zhao Feng attacked he had already restrained himself from using all of his strength, or else the result would not be as simple as a broken arm! Your son¡¯s arm would at least have been crippled, or he could even have died as a result!¡± the judge said.


    Zhao Tianjian understood immediately.


    ¡°Why not go and help your son.¡± The white-bearded judge waved his arms and left the stage.


    Zhao Feng unclenched his fist full of cold sweat and looked gratefully at the elder. The elder seemed to notice this and smiled back at him with praise in his eyes.


    This disturbance didn¡¯t affect the rest of the matches.


    ¡°He beat Zhao Yijian¡­¡± Zhao Xue¡¯s face was stiff. She had the feeling she had fallen from heaven and into the abyss. Before her eyes, that familiar figure had become the king of the outer disciples.


    Now, Zhao Feng was without a doubt the best amongst the outer disciples.


    Seventy wins¡­seventy-one wins. Zhao Feng¡¯s record kept increasing. Most of his opponents surrendered straight away.


    Even when he faced Zhao Yue, Zhao Feng only had to use his chi to instantly break his opponent¡¯s Metal Body.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was no longer that of a quasi Martial Artist, it had reached that of a half-step Martial Artist! Half-step Martial Artist was when one had chi and had reached quasi Martial Artist at the same time. To a certain extent, it was the same as being fourth rank.


    However, there was an unexpected turn. Zhao Yufei still had a perfect streak.


    On Zhao Yufei¡¯s eightieth match, she met Zhao Yue.


    ¡°Butterfly Palm!¡±


    Zhao Yufei shouted as her jade-like hands burst out with immense strength.


    _Crack!_


    Zhao Yue¡¯s metal body was once again broken.


    ¡°Oh my god! It is chi again!¡±


    No one had thought that there would be someone else who had understood Inner Strength apart from Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Interesting!¡± The main judge had a faint smile.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression did not change when Zhao Yufei used inner strength. He had already seen the inner strength hiding inside Zhao Yufei¡¯s blood with his left eye.


    That day when the coach was giving his lecture, many outer disciples had gained some insights, with Zhao Feng gaining the most. This was because he had the help of his left eye and had already trained the Air Pushing Breathing Technique to the peak of its third level. Therefore, Zhao Feng was the first one to form inner strength.


    Zhao Yufei was later than him by half a month.


    ¡°It looks like first place is not decided yet.¡± The crowd were now anticipating the clash between Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.


    Finally, when Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei won their ninetieth matches respectively, they met.


    ¡°Begin.¡±


    Although Zhao Yufei had inner strength, Zhao Feng did not fear her.


    ¡°I know there is still some difference between you and me¡­ but I will not give up.¡± Zhao Yufei¡¯s smile was like a flower opening.


    ¡°Angry Dragon Fist!¡± Zhao Feng started off with his peak level, middle ranked martial art.


    The reason he could beat Zhao Yijian so badly wasn¡¯t just because of Inner Strength. It was because Angry Dragon Fist was already at the peak of middle ranked martial arts and when used, its damage exceeded the damage dealt by high ranked martial arts trained to the low level.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s Angry Dragon Fists was closing in on perfection.


    _If Angry Dragon Fists can reach perfection, it can easily win against Cold Flowing Sword trained to the high level,_ thought Zhao Feng.


    _Peh! Pah!¡­_


    The two exchanged blows.


    As expected, Zhao Yufei wasn¡¯t as strong as Zhao Feng.


    After all, Zhao Feng had a stronger foundation of inner strength and his speed was faster. Although Zhao Yufei had a high ranked speed skill, it wasn¡¯t faster than Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightly Floating Ferry.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks became faster and faster.


    Zhao Yufei started to turn red as she felt her strength depleting.


    _Good chance!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye easily locked onto a flaw and his fist hit Zhao Yufei¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°Thank you for going easy.¡± Zhao Yufei¡¯s body shook as she flipped in midair and landed on the ground.


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng¡¯s punch had been restrained, or else she would have ended up like Zhao Yijian.


    ¡°No problem,¡± Zhao Feng smiled, he really liked Zhao Yufei¡¯s attitude.


    After beating Zhao Yufei, there were no more opponents that were his match left. All his opponents admitted defeat.


    ¡°I give up!¡±


    ¡°I surrender!¡±


    ¡­¡­.


    Half an hour later Zhao Feng finally finished his one hundredth battle, and with his score, easily attained the title of number one amongst the outer disciples.

 26 Fourth rank of the Martial Path

    After winning one hundred matches, Zhao Feng¡¯s popularity had reached its peak.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng¡­¡± The crowd cheered. Zhao Feng¡¯s rise caused many youths to worship him.


    He had finally become the top outer disciple. The crowd gave way where Zhao Feng passed. Even Zhao Kun lowered his head.


    ¡°When did you provoke such a genius?¡± Zhao Gan looked queerly at his brother.


    _How would I know he would become so strong¡­_ Zhao Kun had the urge to cry.


    As Zhao Feng slowly walked, his eyes scanned around.


    At a certain point, he saw a girl clothed in white.


    Zhao Xue bit her teeth and didn¡¯t have the courage to look Zhao Feng in the eye. Zhao Feng shook his head. Ever since they had entered the Zhao sect they had walked different paths.


    He didn¡¯t feel anything, all he wanted to do was reach the ninth rank of the Martial Path, maybe even the Holy martial rank, and then travel throughout the continent.


    The ranking contest had reached the late stages, and first place was already confirmed. That was because no one else apart from Zhao Feng had won all their matches.


    Soon, the final ranks were decided.


    First place: Zhao Feng


    Second place: Zhao Yufei


    Third place: Zhao Yue


    Fourth place: Zhao Gan


    ***************


    Only at the ninth rank did Zhao Yijian¡¯s name pop up. This was because Zhao Yijian had been seriously injured when facing Zhao Feng, meaning that he could not participate later on.


    ¡°First place!¡± Zhao Feng was slightly excited.


    Two months ago, he had to pray that he could enter the tournament. As for first place, he had never even thought about it. This was all thanks to the mysterious eye.


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he entered the dimension within his eye. The mysterious green glow inside kept spinning in circles. The glow had now extended from 1.25 meters to almost 1.33 meters.


    Zhao Feng knew that as the green glow extended, the power of his left eye would increase.


    _***************_


    _In a corner in the Sky Martial Field..._


    ¡°There are a few talented outer disciples this year. Especially Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei, they have the potential to catch up Zhao Linlong.¡± The one who spoke was a calm, beautiful girl. It was Zhao Qin, the fourth strongest inner disciple.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s just small fights, nothing serious.¡± The casual voice came from a black-robed youth next to her.


    The black-robed youth stood shoulder to shoulder next to Zhao Qin and lazily glanced towards the Sky Martial Field¡¯s outer disciples.


    _I feel that Zhao Feng is not simple. When he first hid his Inner Strength, even I could not see it. Also, his speed skill can even be ranked top three within the inner disciples,_ Zhao Qin thought.


    ¡°Do you think they can threaten us? I only have one opponent and that is Zhao Linlong!¡± the black-robed youth said.


    ¡°Zhao Chi, do not be overly arrogant. I have heard that Zhao Han, who is ranked third, has been in seclusion for the last couple of months,¡± Zhao Qin smiled.


    ¡°Zhao Han? I think that he has a cousin called Zhao Yijian, no?¡± The black-robed youth looked playfully towards Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng felt something and glanced over in a certain direction. In that corner stood one quiet girl and one lazy black-robed youth. The quiet girl Zhao Feng knew. It was Zhao Qin. As for the black-robed youth¡­


    ¡°Oh my god! It is Zhao Chi!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Chi! Second place of the inner disciples, right behind Zhao Linlong!¡± the crowd screamed.


    Even some of the inner disciples showed fear as they looked towards Zhao Chi.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Chi¡¯s eyes crossed.


    The moment Zhao Feng met Zhao Chi¡¯s eyes, he felt an unbearable pressure. Especially when his left eye locked onto Zhao Chi, he got the feeling that he was unbeatable.


    Zhao Chi was neither fat nor slim, but the Inner Strength in him was spread evenly to each and every muscle.


    _Peak of the fourth rank! His strength is probably even stronger than Zhao Qin!,_ Zhao Feng accurately analyzed his strength.


    ¡°I heard that when Zhao Chi was a half-step martial artist he beat a true martial artist. I did not think that he would show up to the outer disciple tournament.¡±


    From Zhao Qin¡¯s reaction, it was obvious that she thought Zhao Feng was very important. As for Zhao Chi, he placed more importance on Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Feng knew that, although he was the top outer disciple, there was still a huge gap between him and the inner disciples.


    Apparently, every inner disciple had watched the outer disciples tournament at one point.


    All except for one person! Zhao Linlong!


    One of the four great geniuses of Sun Feather City!


    ¡°With my strength I would not place well in the inner disciples¡­¡± Zhao Feng had a solemn face. All the inner disciples were treated as important by the sect. Right now, Zhao Feng could easily charge into the top ten for the inner disciples. There was still a chance for top five. Top three however¡­that was almost impossible.


    _The main tournament is half a month later. Should I aim for first place?_ Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t decide.


    However, he soon made his decision:


    Fight! He must fight!


    He remembered the rewards from the sect! Only the top three disciples had the chance to learn peak ranked martial art skills.


    Peak ranked martial art skills!


    They were the highest ranked martial art skills in mundane knowledge! A set of peak ranked martial art skills could allow for one to cultivate to the ninth rank of the martial path. Only Holy ranked martial arts could allow for one to achieve the Holy Martial Path.


    To survive in this world, one must have absolute strength. This means that the higher rank the skill was, the better.


    _First, or top three,_ Zhao Feng confirmed his goals as he walked slowly towards his home.


    As he got home he realized that there many people visiting. His father Zhao Tianyang was very busy. The lonely house was now full of people.


    ¡°Brother Tianyang, congratulations on having such a good son.¡±


    ¡°Top outer disciple! He has also learned Inner Strength, it is obvious that he will receive attention from the higher level of the sect,¡± the guests exclaimed as they saw Zhao Feng return. Zhao Feng furrowed his brow, he wasn¡¯t used to this.


    These guests usually looked disdainfully towards his family and their relationships weren¡¯t very good. Today. however, all of them came over.


    Zhao Feng and his parents finally shooed them away.


    ¡°Inner Strength? Half-step martial artist? Feng¡¯er, you have given your father such a big surprise!¡± Zhao Tianyang exclaimed red-faced.


    Not everyone could enter the Sky Martial Field. For example, Zhao Tianyang could only watch on from far away. When they heard that their son won, they first thought that their hearing had gone bad.


    ¡°When did my son become so strong?¡± Zhao Tianyang felt a bit suspicious. He knew that his son wasn¡¯t that outstanding.


    ¡°Hehe, ever since I got struck by lightning, I have felt that it became easier to learn martial arts¡­¡± Zhao Feng explained half truthfully. His explanation was so-so.


    The world was very large. Not every legend was born talented. One¡¯s path would also be affected by the things they met later on in life.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s turning point in life was when he got struck by lightning.


    After listening to this explanation, his parents were no longer suspicious.


    *************************


    _The night on the same day_...


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t sleep. Instead he closed his eyes and thought about the process of the tournament. The memories appeared in his mind. Every scene was imprinted in his brain. These included the scenes when he was fighting Zhao Yue, Zhao Yijian, and Zhao Yufei.


    Apart from this, he had also remembered how the main judge and Zhao Tianjian had moved. Obviously, their ranks far exceeded Zhao Feng, so he couldn¡¯t understand what he was seeing. Even so, Zhao Feng gained some insights.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng turned into a blur as he headed towards an open field.


    _He! He! ¡­_


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and displayed the Flaming Metal Fist and Angry Dragon Fist. Every move of his changed slightly as he thought about the fights with Zhao Yue, Zhao Yijian, and Zhao Yufei.


    _Hu~_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s moves became faster and faster, and then he poured Inner Strength into them. The 1.35m green glowing light crept forwards another step.


    At the last moment he remembered the pressure he felt when facing Zhao Tianjian.


    _Ta!_


    Zhao Feng shouted as the Inner Strength inside his body began to slowly move. Every palm he used had a thumping sound accompanying it.


    Half an hour later, just as Zhao Feng was exhausted.


    _Hua~~~~~_


    Zhao Feng felt that his limbs and body were on fire. A warm feeling shivered throughout his entire body. At the same time, a thick layer of sweat and dirt was discharged from his body.


    ¡°I did it!¡± Zhao Feng eyes shone with excitement.


    The green glow within his eye had now reached the 1.38m mark. At this moment, Zhao Feng had reached the fourth rank of the Martial Path.


    He could feel the powerful strength coursing through his body with every breath. With just a thought, Inner Strength would flood out.


    ¡°My power has increased by about five hundred kilograms, and the power of my Inner Strength has at least doubled.¡± Zhao Feng saw all the changes throughout his body with his left eye.

 27 Challenge of the Xin Family

    Every step of the Martial Path was hard. Once one reached the fourth rank, one had become a true Martial Artist. It was like a fish turning into a phoenix. A true Martial Artist would receive great treatment anywhere in Cloud County.


    On this continent, how many Martial Learners were unable to enter this rank?


    Becoming a Martial Artist had been his dream. Now, this goal had come true so quickly. Although he knew he was going to reach the fourth rank soon, it still happened faster than expected.


    A few days before the tournament Zhao Feng had tried to reach the fourth rank. At that time, he felt that his foundation was not solid enough, it would have affected the later realms if he rushed, so he did not force himself to break through.


    However, every match he fought against those top outer disciples, it helped solidify his foundation. However, just this point alone was not enough for him to reach the fourth rank.


    ¡°I have to go thank Zhao Yijian¡¯s father,¡± Zhao Feng said mockingly.


    Zhao Tianjian had murderous intentions towards him. Feeling the pressure of the sixth rank, it helped spur Zhao Feng¡¯s potential, allowing him to break through to the fourth rank.


    Even his peak level Angry Dragon Fists had moved towards perfection. If Zhao Tianjian knew this, he would probably cough up blood.


    ¡°That Zhao Tianjian wants to kill me,¡± Zhao Feng warned himself.


    Due to this, Zhao Feng wanted to hide the fact that he had broken through to the fourth rank. He fully pushed the Hiding Air Technique to help him appear like he still had the cultivation of a peak third ranker. Zhao Feng seemed like he was a half-step Martial Artist, not a true Martial Artist.


    After reaching the fourth rank, the first thing Zhao Feng did was to consolidate his foundation. For the past few months his cultivation speed had been extremely fast. After he solidified his foundation, he started to merge the insights he had gained. This time, he used his left eye and replayed his Angry Dragon Fists back and forth.


    _If my Angry Dragon Fists can reach the max level, then if I met even the high level of a high ranked martial skill, I can still beat it._ Zhao Feng thought.


    However, although Zhao Feng had gained some insights, it still was not enough for him to push Angry Dragon Fists to perfection. He had confidence that Angry Dragon Fists only needed a few more days to reach that level.


    Before dawn Zhao Feng turned into a blur and returned home. On the way, he used his left eye and everything was as bright as day. His eye could see everything within ten km. If it was during daytime, it would at least double.


    The left eye gave him an increase in reaction speed, vision, and mind energy.


    Zhao Feng could not understand this mental energy either. Simply said, mind energy allowed for one¡¯s brain to not get tired, even after using it for a whole day.


    *******************


    The morning of the next day, Zhao Feng was still meditating on his bed and didn¡¯t sleep.


    Because his left eye¡¯s ability had increased, Zhao Feng felt that he was full of power even though he had not slept. This meant that Zhao Feng had more time to cultivate.


    ¡°Is this Zhao Feng¡¯s house?¡± A crisp knocking sound sounded out in the house.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Zhao Shi went to open the door.


    Outside stood a glamorously clothed middle-aged man with a few servants behind him. Even though they were servants, they still had strength of the second rank.


    Zhao Feng felt that the man seemed familiar.


    ¡°Head manager!¡± Zhao Tianyang was shocked as he went to receive him. Zhao Feng realized that this person was the outer disciple¡¯s head manager.


    The head manager held much power is his hands and was rarely seen. In terms of cultivation, he had already reached the sixth rank of the Martial Path and was stronger than Zhao Tianjian.


    Zhao Tianyan quickly invited the head manager inside.


    ¡°Zhao Tianyang! It is your luck for having such a good son!¡± the head manager smiled.


    ¡°This youngster sees head manager.¡± Zhao Feng walked out of his room and slightly bowed. At the same time he fully pushed the Hiding Air Technique to its fullest so that the head manager would not see that he had broken through to the fourth rank.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad! I have seen your information. Not even fourteen years old and you have already formed Inner Strength, becoming a half-step Martial Artist. Zhao Linlong was only the same as you back then,¡± the head manager praised.


    After talking a bit, Zhao Feng asked, ¡°Why has the manager come over?¡±


    ¡°Ah! I almost forgot what I was supposed to do.¡± The manager coughed slightly, then resumed a serious expression. ¡°Because of your performance the sect has decided to fully help you cultivate. From now on, you can move to the inner disciples area and have a monthly allowance of five hundred silver. Also, every martial art on the first floor of the Martial Arts Library will be open to you¡­¡±


    Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Shi were very excited as they gave their thanks. Even Zhao Feng was slightly shocked. He didn¡¯t think that the sect would come to him this quickly.


    A monthly allowance of five hundred silver was more than twenty times higher than his original amount. When he was at the first rank, he had a monthly allowance of ten silver. He received twenty silver at the second rank.


    Now, not only did his allowance increase by a lot, he also got other benefits. This was the power of a promotion!


    Maybe it was because Zhao Feng¡¯s performance was too exceptional that he was moved to the inner disciples place even before the main tournament.


    ¡°Many thanks to the sect and manager,¡± Zhao Feng humbly said.


    Being born in a massive sect like this, although some things were unfair, he still got the best treatment within the sect. This was due to competition and limited resources.


    ¡°Ok, I will send some people to help settle you in.¡± The head manager ordered the servants behind him.


    Zhao Feng moved into his new house on the same day.


    Everyone who lived in this area would have the protection of the sect, no matter if they were disciples or relatives. Arriving here meant that not just Zhao Feng was protected, his parents were too.


    ¡°This garden is massive, it can easily fit me training in here. This place even has a reading room, bathroom, storage room, and even a horse paddock¡­¡± Zhao Feng felt excited as he moved in.


    Since he received the highest treatment from the sect, it meant that they received some servants too.


    After moving in, Zhao Feng once again started to consolidate his foundation. Usually, he would train inside the house, but he would go to a hidden place when he trained in a secret move.


    After two days, his foundation had solidified.


    ¡°There are ten more days until the main tournament. I need to at least train Angry Dragon Fists to perfection so that I have a chance to fight for the top three positions.¡±


    That night, his Angry Dragon Fists reached the max level. Now, every fist from the max level Angry Dragon Fists caused rumbles.


    _Crack!_


    Zhao Feng easily snapped a tree in front of him. This casual punch had the same power as the Green Headed Tiger King. Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t hide his excitement. No one amongst the inner or outer disciples could say that they had trained a middle ranked martial art to perfection.


    This was because if someone was this talented, they could easily train a high rank martial art skill to the high or peak level.


    *****************


    _The next morning..._


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged as he trained his Inner Strength. He now had more time to cultivate, therefore his Air Crossing Breathing Technique increased steadily.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng!¡± Outside came a shout.


    _Hm?_ Zhao Feng saw that a few familiar outer disciples run outside his door. One of them was Zhao Kun.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Zhao Feng felt a bit surprised.


    ¡±A few Xin family disciples came to challenge us. My brother and Zhao Guang all lost horribly,¡± Zhao Kun said.


    _Xin family disciples? Challenge? What has this got to do with me?,_ Zhao Feng thought.


    ¡°A few of them want to challenge you, the top outer disciple,¡± Zhao Kun continued.


    ¡°Where are they?¡± Since others wanted to challenge him, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t going to avoid it. Especially since he had just broken through, he wanted to move around a bit.


    _Soon..._


    Zhao Feng followed the other outer disciples and arrived at the Zhao sect¡¯s front gate. Noises came from in front.


    ¡°Hehe, the new Zhao sect disciples are so weak.¡±


    ¡°Brother Fei has been increasing rapidly, not even three quasi Martial Artists can block one of your moves.¡±


    ¡°I heard that your Zhao sect has a new genius called Zhao Feng, let him come out and fight.¡±


    Around twenty Xin disciples stood at the front gate. There were two people in front. One¡¯s face was scarred while the other wore a grass-hat. The cultivation of these two people had both reached the fourth rank. Especially the youth with the grass hat, his cultivation had reached the peak of the fourth rank.


    ¡°Yi! It is him!¡± Zhao Feng recognised the scar faced youth, it was Xin Fei. It seemed that he had broken through to the fourth rank after fighting against the tiger.


    Right now, the Xin disciples had the upper hand. All the Xin disciples present cheered, whereas five or sixth youths of the Zhao family were lying on the ground. Zhao Yue and Zhao Gan had injuries.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re here!¡± Zhao Yue said, then groaned due to the pain from his injuries. After all, Zhao Feng was now the top outer disciple.

 28 Battle

    ¡°The top outer disciple, Zhao Feng, is here!¡±


    ¡°He is the new king of the outer disciples.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s appearance caused a slight disturbance.


    ¡°Hehe, I thought that it would be someone strong, not a weak half-step Martial Artist. I think Zhao Linlong should come out instead,¡± the grass-hat youth said disdainfully. His cultivation was the highest amongst them, so he had not fought yet.


    Xin Fei¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! That Xin Fei is the top outer disciple. He beat three of us in one move,¡± Zhao Gan warned.


    _Three people? In one move?_ Zhao Feng was slightly surprised since Zhao Gan and the rest were all quasi Martial Artists.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we meet again. Do you still remember our battle?¡± Xin Fei said as he slowly walked forward. He didn¡¯t look down on Zhao Feng due to his cultivation.


    Last time in Sky Cloud Forest, Xin Fei had not forgotten that Zhao Feng had only been at the peak of the second rank then, and that he had beaten Xin Gang, who was at the peak of the third rank, in three moves.


    Half a month ago, Xin Fei reached the fourth rank, becoming the top outer disciple of the Xin family. He then heard that the Zhao family had a new genius, only thirteen years of age who had already formed Inner Strength, becoming the top outer disciple.


    And that genius was called Zhao Feng. To challenge the Zhao sect today wasn¡¯t a coincidence. Xin Fei¡¯s target was Zhao Feng. And the grass-hat youth¡¯s target was Zhao Linlong.


    ¡°Of course I remember.¡± Zhao Feng walked forward. The crowd gave space. Zhao Feng and Xin Fei stood a few meters apart as they looked at each other.


    The grass-hat youth of the Xin family was slightly surprised, ¡°Although Xin Fei has just reached the fourth rank, his strength is not to be underestimated. Yet, he¡¯s taking this fight very seriously.¡±


    ¡°My cultivation and age are both higher than you. I will not use my sword against you,¡± Xin Fei said as he sheathed his sword.


    ¡°Xin Fei, I will advise you to use all of your strength,¡± Zhao Feng said confidently. His words stunned the two different family disciples .


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Where does his confidence come from?¡± the Xin family disciples sniggered, whereas the Zhao family disciples stood shocked.


    ¡°As you wish.¡± Xin Fei¡¯s expression turned solemn as he slowly took out his long sword again.


    ¡°It is starting!¡± Zhao Feng shouted as he pushed his Inner Strength throughout his body. His speed was so fast that many spectators couldn¡¯t see his actions. Also, Zhao Feng¡¯s body felt like it had no weight as it floated around.


    Third Wind Slice! Xin Fei¡¯s long sword instantly flew out.


    _Shua! Shua! Shua¡­_


    In half a breath¡¯s time Xin Fei had sliced three times, the leaves scattered around him were easily ground into dust.


    Angry Dragon Fist!


    Zhao Feng easily dodged and, under the help of Air Crossing Breathing Technique, did not lose his agility. He easily dodged the first two swords.


    _Bang!_


    Only on the third blow did Zhao Feng¡¯s fist, which was glowing green, clash against Xin Fei¡¯s sword.


    _What explosive strength! And that Inner Strength seems so mysterious_ , Xin Fei felt his arm go numb as the long sword in his hand almost fell from his grip. He also felt a very fast and powerful Inner Strength enter his body.


    _Teng~~~~_


    Xin Fei was pushed back a few steps as he barely managed to cancel out the opponent¡¯s attack. He immediately realized why he had the lower hand in this exchange.


    First, Zhao Feng¡¯s Angry Dragon Fists had an insane explosive power, it had already reached the max level. Secondly, the punch went straight for the weakness in his attack. Third, Zhao Feng¡¯s chi was not weaker than his, it was even more complex than his to a certain degree. The most important reason was this last one.


    Being a true Martial Artist, how could he lose to a half-step Martial Artist?


    Seventh stance of the Angry Dragon!


    Zhao Feng kept on utilizing his fist skill and kept attacking since he had the upper hand.


    Since Angry Dragon Fists had reached perfection, Zhao Feng¡¯s moves had left the restrictions of the original skill. Especially when used together with Air Crossing Breathing Technique, its agility increased.


    Sixth Wind Slice!


    Xin Fei didn¡¯t hesitate at all as he used his strongest move. Cold light twirled around the area. One sword after another locked his opponent within a few meters.


    The expressions of the spectating fighters changed.


    Zhao Feng knew that his opponent¡¯s move was an area attack that was trying to push him back. However, Zhao Feng did not retreat. Instead he dodged and occasionally blocked the attacks by hitting their flaws.


    In terms of speed, he easily beat Xin Fei, and his qi was much higher as well.


    _Dang!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s fist hit the back of Xin Fei¡¯s sword. Zhao Feng also sent out many punches containing Inner Strength. Xin Fei could only fall back.


    _Wah!_


    After seven punches, Xin Fei finally spat out a mouthful of blood and exited the fighting circle.


    ¡°Thanks.¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly, leaving the rest of the disciples in shock.


    ¡°So strong! A half-step Martial Artist beat a true Martial Artist!¡±


    ¡°No wonder he is our Zhao sect¡¯s strongest outer disciple!¡±


    To beat a true Martial Artist while using the power of a half-step Martial Artist was indeed hard.


    Zhao Feng had been ¡®restricted¡¯ in his fight. His power, Inner Strength, and Angry Dragon Fists weren¡¯t used to their fullest. Even so, he still beat Xin Fei in ten moves.


    ¡°I admire your skills.¡± Even though Xin Fei lost, he didn¡¯t feel embarrassed. Instead he felt calm. Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but praise the opponent, he was neither too arrogant nor too humble. His mindset could tell one that his later days wouldn¡¯t be low.


    ¡°Hehe! Not bad kid, I, Xin Tong want to fight too,¡± the grass-hat youth said.


    _Shua!_


    His two arms waved ripping off his t-shirt and hat, revealing his muscular body inside.


    _Si!_


    The Zhao sect disciples took in a cold breath. Zhao Feng inspected him with his left eye and couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. Every inch of Xin Tong¡¯s body seemed to be covered in bronze. The powerful strength coursed through his body.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, be careful! He is Xin Tong, the third strongest inner disciple of the Xin family and has trained Bronze Skin Metal Body to the fourth level. Even swords cannot harm him¡­¡± Zhao Gan warned.


    Before he could even finish Xin Tong slowly walked over. Although he didn¡¯t purposely try to intimidate Zhao Feng, he caused great pressure just by walking.


    _Just by body strength alone he can face fourth rankers._ Zhao Feng felt an unseen pressure.


    ¡°You will be my dish before I challenge Zhao Linlong.¡± Xin Tong licked his lips. As he was talking, he was casually walking towards Zhao Feng.


    The pressure that came with him was even more obvious. Zhao Feng felt that there were many many flaws on Xin Tong¡¯s body.


    Flaming Metal Fist!


    Zhao Feng used the Air Breathing Crossing Technique to easily form Inner Strength and easily hit the opponent¡¯s chest.


    _Peng!_


    As the fist hit Xin Tong, the latter laughed, ¡°This is all of your strength?¡±


    What a strong body? The disciples watching stared.


    ¡°Not good!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s punch didn¡¯t even break the opponent¡¯s defense.


    ¡°Get out!¡± Xin Tong¡¯s shout was as loud as thunder. He casually waved his arm and the thick metal-like Inner Strength came crushing over. This move could probably even threaten those of the fifth rank.


    It was lucky that Zhao Feng reacted fast and quickly formed his own shield of chi.


    _Peh! Ceng¡ª¨C_


    Every time they clashed Zhao Feng would feel his arm go numb. He knew that the biggest difference between them was body strength and defense.


    Xin Tong focused on his body. His muscles were as strong as metal, meaning his power exceeded that of normal people of the fourth rank.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was restrained at half-step Martial Artist. His power and Inner Strength could only be used to sixty-seventy percent, so obviously he could not win.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­kid, you¡¯re too weak! Hurry up and call Zhao Linglong. Apart from him, no one is my opponent.¡± After pushing back Zhao Feng in one move, he suddenly stopped.


    _Ceng!_


    Zhao Feng was like a feather that landed gracefully on the ground. Since he had the advantage in speed and Inner Strength, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t have lost.


    Xin Tong was helpless and did not want to waste energy. Instead, he wanted to preserve his strength to fight Zhao Linlong.


    ¡°Really? Apart from Zhao Linlong, no one is your match?¡± a cold voice sounded from behind.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?!¡± Xin Tong shouted. Everyone¡¯s eyes turned to the owner of the voice.


    ¡°Zhao Han!¡± In everyone¡¯s view, a cold youth slowly walked out.


    His every step caused a chill to come over them.


    ¡°Zhao Han. Third amongst the inner disciples, just a bit weaker than Zhao Linlong and Zhao Chi.¡±


    Zhao Feng also inspected Zhao Han. However, as his left eye locked onto Zhao Han, he received a major shock.


    Fifth rank of the Martial Path! Not fourth, but fifth rank of the martial path!


    ¡°How is it possible? When did Zhao Han reach the fifth rank?¡± the disciples from both families exclaimed.


    ¡°It looks like the first place amongst the inner disciples might change.¡±


    ¡°I heard that even Zhao Linlong has not reached the fifth rank.¡±


    Zhao Han¡¯s appearance stunned everyone.


    His cold eyes scanned through the crowd and finally landed on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. ¡°You are Zhao Feng?¡±


    _Hm?_ Zhao Feng felt a cold pressure towards him and thought, _Does this Zhao Han know me?_

 29 Zhao Yufeis Suggestion

    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Zhao Feng answered. He did not know why he felt enmity from Zhao Han.


    ¡°Good, good, good!¡± Zhao Han¡¯s face turned even colder as he said good three times, then proceeded to not look at Zhao Feng anymore.


    Zhao Feng felt baffled since this was the first time he had ever seen Zhao Han, so when did he offend him?


    Zhao Yue walked up to Zhao Feng and warned him, ¡°Zhao Han is Zhao Yijian¡¯s cousin and their relationship is quite good.¡±


    _Zhao Yijian¡¯s cousin?_


    No wonder Zhao Han had enmity towards him. Zhao Yijian was still lying in bed right now due to his injury. Being his cousin, Zhao Han was obviously going to take revenge.


    However, right now they were facing enemies from outside. They would have to first settle this, and then discuss internal matters.


    ¡°Fifth rank of the Martial Path?¡± Xin Tong¡¯s expression changed, but soon recovered, ¡°So what if you¡¯re the fifth rank?¡± Being a top fourth ranker, he had experience fighting fifth ranks.


    ¡°Little bug!¡± Zhao Han walked step by step towards Xin Tong. With every step he took, the cold coming from him would increase. The cold wasn¡¯t just a feeling, it was real cold that came from his Inner Strength.


    ¡°You¡¯ve just reached the fifth rank not long ago. I¡¯ll see how strong you are right now,¡± Xing Tong snorted, but his expression was solemn.


    ¡°Metal Arm!¡± Xin Tong put his immense power and Inner Strength into his arm and his whole body seemed like a bull. His skill was a high ranked one, which allowed him to compress his strength into one attack, allowing him to overpower his opponent.


    Zhao Feng saw that there were no flaws in the blow, it was obvious that Xin Tong had gone easy on him.


    ¡°Snowing Cold Palm!¡± Zhao Han¡¯s body poured out a freezing aura, just like snow. As he used his palm attack, the area around him started to freeze.


    The cold aura made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jump because this Inner Strength was way too strong, it was almost as strong as Zhao Tianijian¡¯s.


    As soon as Xin Tong rushed forward, he felt an unknown force block him, as if he had fallen into mud.


    _How is this the Inner Strength of a beginner fifth rank?_ , Xin Tong thought.


    _Pah¡ª-_


    The two palms clashed together. Using his strength, Xin Tong forcefully pushed back Zhao Han one step. However, the corner of his mouth started to leak blood. The ice cold chi had flowed through his defense and entered his body.


    ¡°How is this possible, his Inner Strength has reached the peak of the fifth rank!¡± Xin Tong felt his blood freeze. He couldn¡¯t move.


    _He!_


    Zhao Han sent him flying with one kick, and coldly laughed, ¡°Just this amount of strength and you want to challenge Zhao Linlong? Only I have the right to beat him.¡±


    ¡°Brother Tong!¡± The Xin disciples went to help him.


    ¡°I¡¯m alright,¡± Xin Tong barely managed to get out. It was lucky for him that his body was strong. If it was someone else they would have been bedridden for at least a month.


    ¡°Zhao Han, I admit that you¡¯re strong.¡± Xin Tong grit his teeth as he continued, ¡°But you¡¯ve just recently reached the fifth rank and your Inner Strength is this strong, which means that you have eaten some sort of treasure. But what use is outside help? When you meet my family¡¯s top genius Xin Wuheng, you will lose!¡±


    When they heard this, Zhao Feng and the others had thoughtful expressions. Zhao Han¡¯s circumstances were too abnormal. He had only just reached the fifth rank and had such powerful Inner Strength.


    When Zhao Feng used his left eye to inspect Zhao Han, he was certainly shocked because that Inner Strength was way too strong. Xin Tong analyzed correctly, Zhao Han must have used some treasures.


    ¡°What if I used outer help? That is my luck, it is the heavens helping me. When I finish refining this energy and beat Zhao Linlong, I will definitely go challenge Xin Wuheng,¡± Zhao Han coldly retorted.


    Xin Wuheng, the top inner disciple of the Xin family, also one of the four great geniuses of Sun Feather City. Zhao Feng had heard his name before.


    Apparently, Xin Wuheng was the top genius out of the four, and had reached the fifth rank one year ago. He was even stronger than Zhao Linlong!


    Since Xin Tong lost, the Xin family disciples quickly left with their tails between their legs.


    ¡°Zhao Han only used half a year to reach the fifth rank!¡±


    ¡°I am so excited for the main tournament in ten days time!¡±


    Zhao Han was the main focus of the people. Obviously, Zhao Feng¡¯s performance wasn¡¯t bad, using the strength of a half-step Martial Artist to beat a true Martial Artist.


    Before leaving, Zhao Han stared at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t avoid him and looked Zhao Han in the eye. He didn¡¯t believe that Zhao Han would attack him in front of all the other Zhao sect disciples. Even if he couldn¡¯t win, Zhao Feng could still use Lightly Floating Ferry to escape.


    ¡°I will do what you did. We will meet when I challenge you at the tournament.¡±


    _I will do what you did?_ Zhao Feng felt cold. He had broken Zhao Yijian¡¯s arm in the outer disciples tournament. Zhao Han¡¯s meaning in ¡®doing what you did¡¯ was very obvious¡­.


    On the way back, Zhao Feng asked Zhao Yue next to him, ¡°What is the challenging thing he talked about?¡±


    ¡°Every inner disciple tournament is done by challenging. Every participant can challenge a certain person,¡± Zhao Yue explained.


    _Even this can happen?_


    Zhao Feng heart clenched as he understood Zhao Han¡¯s meaning. Zhao Han had already laid out all of his plans, he was absolutely confident in himself. Although it was an ¡®open plan¡¯, it would be hard to avoid it.


    _Want to break my arm?_ Zhao Feng¡¯s expression turned colder and colder. There were only ten days left until the main tournament.


    **********************


    Zhao Feng cultivated even harder.


    Every night he would work on his Inner Strength by training in the Air Crossing Breathing Technique. Zhao Feng knew the distance between him and Zhao Han was in Inner Strength.


    In terms of complexity, Air Crossing Breathing Technique was a top-tier high ranked martial art, almost reaching the peak ranked martial art category. It could be said that it was the best martial art out of all the Zhao sect skills.


    _The next day..._


    Zhao Feng felt that his Angry Dragon Fists were getting even more perfected as he trained in the garden. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye had recorded many interesting battles between disciples and used them all to perfect his Angry Dragon Fists.


    Therefore, after Zhao Feng¡¯s Angry Dragon Fists reached perfection, the power was still slowly increasing¡­


    His strength right now was more than double the of that he had at the outer disciples tournament.


    ¡°Can I come in?¡± a crystal clear voice sounded from outside. Zhao Feng felt that the voice was familiar and saw a purple-clothed girl standing outside waiting.


    _It¡¯s her?_ Zhao Feng was a bit surprised.


    ¡°Am I not welcome?¡± Zhao Yufei beautiful eyebrows blinked slightly, her smile was like a lotus, pure and innocent.


    ¡°Please come in.¡± Zhao Feng soon recovered from her beauty.


    After Zhao Yufei came in, she quickly told him the point of her visit, it was to spar with Zhao Feng. Obviously, Zhao Yufei was a bit unwilling after losing to Zhao Feng last time.


    ¡°Ok, but let¡¯s not harm each other.¡± Zhao Feng obviously didn¡¯t reject her, as she was the only outer disciple that could spar with him.


    Soon the two figures were fighting throughout the garden. While sparring, Zhao Feng only pushed Angry Dragon Fists to peak level. Even then he gained the upper hand.


    After half the time it took an incense to burn, Zhao Yufei lost. Her breathing was ragged as her eyes flashed. ¡°Your Inner Strength forms and attacks very quickly. It also gives me a mysterious and floating feeling, what kind of secret technique is it?¡±


    In the battle, Zhao Feng had controlled his Inner Strength to the same level as Zhao Yufei. Even so, Zhao Feng¡¯s Inner Strength still created more pressure than hers. This was because of the Air Crossing Breathing Technique.


    _I cultivate the Three Breaths Technique, a high ranked martial art that focuses on Inner Strength, yet it is not as strong as his._ Zhao Yufei was shocked in her heart.


    ¡°Hehe, it is my special skill, I¡¯m not going to say,¡± Zhao Feng gently smiled. Zhao Feng¡¯s rejection surprised Zhao Yufei, as not many youths of the same age would reject her propositions.


    Her eyes twirled as she smilingly said, ¡°You obviously still have some flaws. If you have some interest, we can do a deal that allows for both of us to gain benefits.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Let¡¯s talk about it¡­¡± Zhao Feng was instantly interested.

 30 Metal Wall Technique

    ¡°You have a great advantage in speed and Inner Strength, but defense is your weakness.¡± Zhao Yufei looked at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Yes! That is my flaw.¡± Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. After he had merged with the left eye, his vision could see the smallest detail. Since Zhao Feng could easily see his opponent¡¯s flaws, he could also see his own.


    ¡°Have you learned any body strengthening technique?¡± Zhao Yufei was slightly surprised.


    ¡°No.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to, it was just that body strengthening techniques needed a long time to train and couldn¡¯t be easily learned within a short period of time.


    Normal skills and techniques only needed understanding and talent to easily train in them within a short amount of time. Only body strengthening techniques needed resources as well as effort to learn.


    ¡°The body is the foundation of cultivation. A high ranked body strengthening technique can not only help solidify one¡¯s foundation, it can also improve one¡¯s defense. Does big brother Zhao Feng want to learn one¡­?¡± Zhao Yufei gently smiled.


    The ¡®big brother Zhao Feng¡¯ part made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart beat. Instantly Zhao Yufei¡¯s face turned red, as if it was dripping blood. Within the sect, the older disciples were called ¡®big brother¡¯. Maybe it was that Zhao Feng¡¯s performance had been too shocking, letting Zhao Yufei miss this point.


    ¡°There are good reasons. Maybe I can consider it,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head after some deep thought. Before, Zhao Feng¡¯s forte was his speed. People of the same rank wouldn¡¯t even be able to reach him, therefore he had neglected the uses of body strengthening techniques.


    Now, with Zhao Yufei¡¯s hint, Zhao Feng started to pay attention to it. If he didn¡¯t have Inner Strength as his hidden card, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to block Zhao Yijian¡¯s Cold Flowing Sword.


    Zhao Yue, on the other hand, without the use of Inner Strength, could counter Zhao Yijian for a while. This was all due to the fact that he had learned a body strengthening technique.


    Sparring with Xin Tong yesterday made Zhao Feng realize the importance of body strengthening techniques.


    **************************


    _The same afternoon that_ _day..._


    Zhao Yufei invited Zhao Feng over to her place. Zhao Feng surprisingly found that Zhao Yufei¡¯s house was next to his. Zhao Yufei had received the same treatment as Zhao Feng, both were highly looked upon by the sect.


    ¡°Grandfather!¡± Zhao Yufei yelled happily as she got back.


    ¡°Yufei is back.¡± From the room came out an one-armed old man, he didn¡¯t speak more after casually glancing at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I wonder what deal Zhao Yufei is talking about?¡± Zhao Feng finally went to the point.


    ¡°Please wait brother, Zhao Feng.¡± Zhao Yufei walked towards the old man and spoke a few words.


    Finally the one-armed old man nodded and went back to his room to retrieve an old book.


    ¡°This skill is called Metal Wall Technique and it is quite famous within the Cloud Country. It is even better than Zhao Yue¡¯s Metal Body.¡± The one-armed old man gently sighed as he gave the book to Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Feng immediately realized that this grandfather and granddaughter pair had already made plans, and had seen the Inner Strength advantage given by Air Crossing Breathing Technique. The reason Zhao Yufei wanted to spar with Zhao Feng was to point out his body strength was lacking, therefore proposing a deal.


    ¡°Metal Wall Technique?¡± Zhao Feng gently murmured. He had not heard anyone speak about this technique before. Zhao Yue¡¯s Metal Body was a high ranked martial skill, Xin Tong¡¯s Bronze Body was the same.


    According to the old man, this body strengthening technique was much better than Metal Body.


    ¡°This body strengthening skill is a simplified version of the Holy martial skill Silver Wall Technique. Even though it has been simplified and only contains the first third of it, it can still be considered a peak high ranked martial art,¡± the old man said proudly.


    _Holy martial art?_ Zhao Feng drew a cold breath and started to inspect the one-armed old man. To be able to take out such a high ranked skill, he could not have a simple background.


    He used his left eye, but only found that the blood within the old man was similar to that of a commoner, it had no aura coming from chi.


    ¡°Ten years ago, I lost my cultivation in an accident,¡± the old man seemed to feel Zhao Feng¡¯s inspection and explained.


    ¡°Sorry.¡± Zhao Feng felt guilty as he took back his eyes.


    The one armed old man was expressionless and continued, ¡°For my granddaughter today, I will give you this Metal Wall Technique in exchange for your Inner Strength skill. How do you feel about this deal?¡± This was within Zhao Feng¡¯s predictions.


    ¡°Let me think.¡± Zhao Feng started to analyze the benefits and problems.


    Air Crossing Breathing Technique was only a Inner Strength skill and easily surpassed high ranked martial arts, it probably wasn¡¯t any weaker than peak ranked martial arts. However, this Inner Strength¡¯s power needed Lightly Floating Ferry to be utilized to its maximum potential.


    Obviously, Metal Wall Technique wasn¡¯t bad either, it was a simplified version of a Holy martial art and had already reached the peak of the high rank, not far away from being a peak ranked martial art.


    Thinking up that point, Zhao Feng soon had his answer.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Feng nodded and asked Zhao Yufei to give him some paper. Afterwards, he wrote down the contents of Air Crossing Breathing Technique.


    Zhao Feng only wrote the contents of Air Crossing Breathing Technique, but didn¡¯t write anything that linked it to Lightly Floating Ferry. This meant that Zhao Yufei would only get the Inner Strength skill, but would have no connections with Lightly Floating Ferry.


    After he finished writing it down, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei exchanged skills.


    The old man took over Air Crossing Breathing Technique and started to inspect it. Zhao Feng used his left eye and quickly scanned through the contents of Metal Wall Technique as well. He had over one hundred skills in his mind, which meant that his grasp of martial theories wasn¡¯t bad.


    He only had to scan the contents once to fully memorize them. It was obvious that this skill far exceeded the ones inside his head.


    ¡°Not bad, this skill is very compatible with Zhao Yufei,¡± the one-armed old man said joyfully as he finished reading.


    ¡°Hehe, I am happy to cooperate.¡± Zhao Feng put away the Metal Wall Technique and was happy as well.


    However, before Zhao Feng left he couldn¡¯t help restraining himself and asked, ¡°Senior, why don¡¯t you let sister Yufei learn the Metal Wall Technique?¡±


    The old man laughed, ¡°You¡¯re a genius of the sect and you do not know? Just from the name ¡®Metal Wall Technique¡¯, one can tell that one¡¯s skin will become tough as metal, which means it will not be suitable for women. Yufei¡¯s agile and soft style is more compatible with your Air Crossing Breathing Technique, or else I would not have traded Metal Wall Technique for it.¡±


    _No wonder,_ Zhao Feng nodded his head. The Metal Wall Technique was indeed not suitable for women. Images of Yufei turning into a muscular woman made Zhao Feng shiver.


    After returning home, Zhao Feng immediately started to train in the Metal Wall Technique. Normal body strengthening techniques were easy to understand. This Metal Wall Technique was not a normal technique, however. Just understanding it far exceeded other high ranked martial arts in difficulty.


    However, this didn¡¯t trip up Zhao Feng, he gently used his left eye to merge the contents into his mind and played them back and forth.


    That night Zhao Feng stepped into the doorway of the Metal Wall Technique.The technique had a total of seven levels.


    The first three levels allowed one¡¯s skin to harden. After reaching the third level, one¡¯s skin would be as hard as metal and would be able to block swords.


    This skill was far more complex than Zhao Yue¡¯s Metal Body. Zhao Yue¡¯s Metal Body had to gather one¡¯s strength onto a certain point to block swords.


    ¡°The fourth level, using chi to harden one¡¯s bones, allows one to increase one¡¯s power rapidly. Just from one¡¯s body alone, one can counter against weapons and Inner Strength. Once reaching this point, the whole body will be as strong as a metal wall.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes started to shine as he comprehended the skill. This body strengthening skill could increase one¡¯s power!


    _If I can cultivate Metal Wall Technique to the fourth level, I will have a seventy percent chance to reach the top three,_ Zhao Feng thought.


    The fifth level: Reaching this level, one¡¯s body can shatter weapons.


    The sixth level: One can withstand any attack from the seventh rank of the Martial Path and be uninjured.


    The seventh level: A perfect body that will not melt under extreme heat.


    After reading the last few parts, Zhao Feng was shocked. Especially the seventh level, it had almost reached an inhuman degree!


    When put in furnaces and not melting, what kind of concept was that? If your body was made of skin, blood, and bone, it would still melt when tossed into a furnace.


    If you could train Metal Wall Technique to the seventh level, no one under the ninth level would be able to harm you!


    ¡°I think I¡¯ve gotten a great deal.¡± Zhao Feng was excited as he redoubled his efforts to train this skill. Since he had already understood Inner Strength and had reached the fourth rank already, Zhao Feng¡¯s training speed was extremely fast.


    It only took him one day to reach the first level of Metal Wall. Zhao Feng found that his skin did indeed become stronger after reaching the first level.


    However, after he reached the first level he found out that his learning speed decreased dramatically. Zhao Feng estimated that he needed at least ten days to reach the second level.


    _There are ten more days until the main family tournament starts._ Zhao Feng thought, he then decided to head back to the Medicine Pavilion and buy some Body Strengthening Powder. Each pouch of Body Strengthening Powder cost two thousand silver and could only be used three times to increase his body strengthening skill speed.


    Zhao Feng clenched his teeth as he purchased three bags, using up six thousand silver.


    With the rest of the silver, he bought an Air Pill, which also cost him six thousand silver. Everyone knew that the effect of Air pill was to increase the amount of Inner Strength one could store.


    Zhao Feng never forgot to cultivate his Inner Strength. Three pouches of Body Strengthening Powder and one Air Pill spent all of Zhao Feng¡¯s saving.


    After returning home, Zhao Feng immediately opened one pouch of Body Strengthening Powder and started to cultivate Metal Wall Technique as he soaked in the medicine. A hot feeling started to ignite within his body as he soaked in the medicine.


    As time went on, a fiery feeling started to sink into his body. Suddenly, a weird but familiar sound sounded.


    _Peh! Peh!_


    The depth of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye started to release sizzles of heat which merged with the medicine.


    _Hu~_


    A queer hot feeling reverberated within his body and made his training speed increase.


    ¡°This¡­¡± Zhao Feng was shocked, but wasted no time in absorbing the energy within the medicine.

 31 Sky Forest Murderous Inten

    _What is going on?_ Zhao Feng felt that his left eye was jumping and his blood seemed to undergo a certain change which allowed him to quickly absorb the energy.


    It was certain that Zhao Feng¡¯s ability to absorb medicine surpassed that of normal people. This was because a normal person needed three attempts to absorb one pouch of Body Strengthening Powder. However, Zhao Feng had only absorbed it once and all the energy had disappeared.


    Zhao Feng cringed when he thought that his two thousand silver had been spent in such a short period. It was good though, that all the energy had been absorbed by him.


    He was sire that the Metal Wall Technique¡¯s training speed had increased dramatically.


    ¡°What kind of mutation has happened to my body? My absorption speed has greatly increased.¡± Zhao Feng felt that his own body held secrets he did not know. He could only confirm that all of this had something to do with his left eye.


    The next day, Zhao Feng first cultivated in the Air Crossing Breathing Technique a few times, then resumed using the Body Strengthening Powder.


    In only three days, his Metal Wall Technique reached the second level. However, his six thousand silver worth of Body Strengthening Powder had all been used up.


    The first two levels of the Metal Wall Technique did not improve Zhao Feng¡¯s overall strength by much. His power had increased, but his defense had only increased by about twenty-some percent.


    This was mainly due to the fact that Zhao Feng¡¯s foundation being very strong. If he had reached the second level before he reached the fourth rank of the Martial Path, then the increase in strength would have been very obvious.


    ¡°Only the third level allows for one¡¯s body to become as hard as metal, and block weapons. This allows one¡¯s defense to greatly increase.¡±


    Zhao Feng wanted to reach it, but his Body Strengthening Powder had been used up, and his training speed in the Metal Wall Technique went back to the speed of a turtle.


    _Money, money, money,_ Zhao Feng sighed. All his savings were gone. He was now broke.


    He took out the Air pill that he had bought a few days ago. The use of the Air pill was to refine one¡¯s Inner Strength, which helped Martial Artists a lot.


    Zhao Feng immediately ate the pill and started to cultivate in the Air Crossing Breathing Technique. The Air Crossing Breathing Technique was so outstanding that Zhao Yufei¡¯s grandfather even took out the Metal Wall Technique to exchange for it. And with the mental energy he gained from his left eye, Zhao Feng could cultivate for twice as long as he could before, therefore allowing for his Inner Strength to increase at an immense speed.


    Zhao Feng once again felt heat come from his left eye which allowed his absorption rate to increase.


    ***********************


    _One day and one night later..._


    Zhao Feng let out a breath as he raised his palm. A faint green glow spun slowly in circles, bringing a powerful pressure with it.


    His Inner Strength had reached peak fourth rank unknowingly. Because the Metal Wall Technique and Air Crossing Breathing Technique both proceeded at the same time, Zhao Feng¡¯s foundation began to get even more stable.


    He calculated that there were six to seven days left until the tournament.


    ¡°The Metal Wall Technique is at the peak of the second level and my Inner Strength is comparable to the peak of the fourth rank. My cultivation is almost at the peak of the fourth rank as well,¡± Zhao Feng evaluated.


    With this strength, he had a 40-50% chance of reaching the top three. However, to win, Zhao Han only had a 30%, as well as a 70% chance of a draw by relying on the speed of Lightly Floating Ferry.


    _Not good enough!_ Zhao Feng shook his head, the chance to win was too low.


    Whether it was to defeat Zhao Han or to reach the top three, he had to increase his strength. However, using normal ways to cultivate, his cultivation and Metal Wall Technique would be hard to improve.


    ¡°It looks like I have to go to the Sky Cloud Forest again.¡± Zhao Feng said after thinking deeply. He immediately retrieved a long rectangular box within the room.


    A silver bow lay within the wooden box. This silver bow was the one Zhao Feng had bought at Sun Feather City. Only true Martial Artists could truly utilize its strength.


    With the bow in hand, Zhao Feng left the Zhao sect. He then bought some items in Sun Feather City before heading towards Sky Cloud Forest.


    As soon as he left Sun Feather City, three shadows flashed by the city gates before also leaving. Two of these black-clothed people had black skin and looked similar.


    ¡°Big brother! That kid is probably going to Sky Cloud Forest,¡± one of the black-clothed people said urgently.


    ¡°Very good. It is the perfect place for us to do our job. This plan ensures that this kid will definitely die!¡± the big brother replied, full of killing intent.


    ********************


    Zhao Feng could train Lightly Floating Ferry whenever he liked when there was no one around.


    He was as light as a feather floating through the wind, sometimes double jumping in midair.


    Finally, today, Lightly Floating Ferry reached the low level.


    _Teng! Teng!..._


    In this open area he felt free like a bird.


    _I am only at the fourth rank of the martial path and have such feeling. If I surpass the ninth rank, will I be able fly?_ , Zhao Feng thought excitedly.


    Half an hour later, Zhao Feng finally reached Sky Cloud Forest.


    The endless forest looked like the open mouth of a deadly beast. No one knew what lay at the deepest parts of Sky Cloud Forest. All Zhao Feng knew was that the further one went, the more likely one was to meet deadly beasts. Opportunities and danger intertwined with each other.


    Zhao Feng cautiously scanned the area with his left eye for signs of unknown beasts. He occasionally saw a few strong deadly beasts about forty km out.


    Zhao Feng took out his silver bow and put his Inner Strength into it. The string started to tremble with power.


    _Sou----_


    One silver arrows shot through the forest and hit a two hundred kg wild pig, two-hundred meters away.


    _Tonk!_


    The arrow blasted through the pig¡¯s eye and head, spraying blood everywhere. It struggled for a while before falling down. The two-hundred kg pig would be a tough fight if fought head on by cultivators of the third rank.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t pick up the pig¡¯s corpse. He was just practising his skills with the bow. His real target was wild beasts. Only by killing wild beasts would he gain the silver he needed for cultivation resources.


    ¡°The power of this silver bow is not bad. Every arrow¡¯s strength is on par with the full strength hit of a fourth rank within three hundred steps. My arrows also have poison coated on them. If I hit a vital spot it is the same damage as a fifth ranker.¡± Zhao Feng was very pleased with himself. Being an archer, Zhao Feng¡¯s killing and survival ability was very high.


    _Clap, clap, clap¡­_ ¡°Not bad, not bad. I never thought my target this time would be an archer.¡± A clapping sound came from in front of him.


    ¡°Who!¡± Zhao Feng was shocked.


    He saw that on a treetop, two hundred meters away, stood a slim-as-bones gray-clothed man. This person was like a ghost hanging on a tree. If one wasn¡¯t careful enough, one would think he was a rag.


    Through his left eye, Zhao Feng found that the person¡¯s aura was converged in a weird way, making the it turn to nothing.


    Through his first inspection the enemy had reached the fifth rank of the Martial Path and had also learned a skill similar to Hiding Air Technique, as well as a tracking skill.


    ¡°Who? _Hehe_ ¡­you¡¯re going to die soon, haven¡¯t you realized?¡± the gray-clothed man mocked. He did not seem to have any intentions of attacking in a short amount of time. However, his eyes had always been locked on to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s hand held three poison arrows as he faced off the assassin.


    Why didn¡¯t he make a move? Zhao Feng felt weird. Soon he realized why.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­kid, come to your death!¡±


    A few hundred meters behind him, two men, clothed in black, were coming. They had both reached the peak of the fourth rank.


    Two-pronged attack!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed. However, the man that gave him the most dangerous feeling was the one in front of him.


    ¡°It is time to end it now.¡± A curved blade appeared in the gray-clothed man¡¯s hand.


    _What should I do?,_ Zhao Feng thought urgently.


    At this moment, from deep inside the left eye, came a familiar thumping sound. Under this danger, Zhao Feng fully pushed his left eye into top vision and reaction speed.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The two men behind him were now one or two hundred meters away. Their every action slowed down in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    However, the gray-clothed man in front stood still like wood, not moving at all. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was still locked onto this man as he was the most dangerous one of all.


    One hundred meters!


    The two black-clothed men were laughing hysterically. They seemed to be already picturing how Zhao Feng would be cut into pieces. However, Zhao Feng was still calm.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye felt the blood and Inner Strength stirring within the gray-clothed man¡¯s body¡­


    At that moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed dangerously as he put the three poisonous arrows onto his bow.


    _Sou! Sou! Sou!-----_


    The three arrows were arranged in a strange pattern, like a triangle that shot towards the gray-clothed man.

 32 Life or Death Pursui

    As Zhao Feng pulled his bow, the gray-clothed man¡¯s expression turned into one of mockery.


    _Sou! Sou! Sou! ¡ª¨C_


    However, when those three arrows came right at him, his expression suddenly changed. These three poison arrows had small gaps between them and were not going in straight lines. The way that they were arranged meant that he had no escape routes, he was completely locked on!


    _Pah!_


    The gray-clothed man swiped his hand and a gust of wind snapped the first arrow, but the second arrow came right after.


    If he wanted to dodge the second arrow and then attack Zhao Feng using the best route possible, he would have to face the third arrow.


    The third arrow seemed to calculate how he would react.


    _How did he do this¡­_ The gray-clothed man¡¯s pupils shrank as his expression turned to shock. If this was all planned by Zhao Feng, then this would be extremely frightening. He was a youth not even fourteen years of age!


    He did not know that Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye had already locked on him. Everything, including his heartbeat and breathing rate, was all under close watch.


    Zhao Feng had shot his arrows according to the changes in the opponent¡¯s body. Everything was to plan. The three arrows had stalled the gray-clothed man for a few breaths.


    ¡°There is no difference! You will still die today!¡± the gray-clothed man shouted coldly.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s actions caused him to be stunned once again. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t run after he shot the three arrows. Instead, he turned around and attacked the other two men closing in on him.


    Kill! The two black clothed men also attacked Zhao Feng.


    Since they were running towards each other in straight lines, the distance between them quickly narrowed.


    ¡°This kid has strong calculation abilities.¡± The gray-clothed man felt a bit anxious. Zhao Feng¡¯s actions had been the most perfect way to escape.


    First, he didn¡¯t run straight away. His chances of escaping from the two groups flanking him was very low. At the very least, Zhao Feng had confirmed that the gray-clothed man¡¯s speed would not be slower than his own, or else he could not have appeared in front of him like a ghost.


    Second, it was very hard for Zhao Feng to find a breakthrough point.


    After comparing the three people, Zhao Feng thought that the two men clothed in black were weaker. If he could finish off these two quickly and then concentrate on the gray-clothed man, his chances of winning would be higher.


    Just as Zhao Feng and the two men were getting closer-


    ¡°How will a trivial half-step Martial Artist fight against two peak fourth rankers?¡± The gray-clothed man didn¡¯t feel a sense of urgency. He didn¡¯t need the two men in black to kill Zhao Feng. All he needed was for them to stall Zhao Feng for a moment, andZhao Feng would definitely die.


    _Kill!_


    Angry Dragon Fists!


    As Zhao Feng exchanged blows with the two black-clothed men, his body perfectly passed through the gap between their attacks.


    Suddenly, his aura increased dramatically.


    ¡°What! This guy is a true Martial Artist!¡± The gray-clothed man¡¯s expression finally changed. Zhao Feng¡¯s aura had obviously shown that he had reached the fourth rank of the Martial Path.


    _Pah!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s fist was like a roaring dragon that carried a faint green glow and smashed into the chest of one of the men clothed in black.


    _Crack!_ The bones inside his target were instantly shattered and the assassin immediately died.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s explosive Inner Strength had reached the peak of the fourth rank and Angry Dragon Fists had also reached perfection.


    With one fist he killed one of the men in black. This wasn¡¯t just because they looked down upon Zhao Feng, it was also because of Zhao Feng¡¯s strength and his left eye¡¯s calculations.


    ¡°Little brother!¡± the other man in black screamed angrily as his eyes turned red.


    Angry Dragon Fists!


    Zhao Feng immediately attacked the other man in black. To be merciful to the enemy meant being cruel to himself.


    ¡°I¡¯ll slice you ten thousand times for killing my little brother.¡± The sword in the black-clothed Martial Artist¡¯s hand suddenly gave off extremely powerful chi as he furiously hacked towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Stall him!¡± the gray-clothed man shouted.


    He only needed the person to stall Zhao Feng, not necessarily kill him. Unfortunately, the black-clothed killer had lost his mind and attacked crazily. Zhao Feng fully utilized his left eye to find flaws of the opponent. However, his time was limited as the gray-clothed man behind him was catching up.


    _Fight!_


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t care about anything else as his body swiftly floated within range of the black-clothed man¡¯s sword.


    _Crack!_


    Zhao Feng finally landed one punch on the opponent¡¯s left shoulder.


    ¡°Ah!¡± Although the man¡¯s arm had been broken, he kept on attacking towards Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng punched him once again and shattered his throat.


    _Plop!_ The man in black fell to the ground, dead.


    Zhao Feng had also paid a price for it. He had suffered some internal damage due to the man landing his last punch on Zhao Feng¡¯s chest. After all, his Metal Wall Technique had not reached the third level yet, which meant that he could not take straight hits from cultivators of the same rank.


    ¡°Little kid¡­you¡¯ve been hiding pretty deeply. Your true strength is close to the fifth rank of the Martial Path. However, you will still die today.¡± The gray-clothed man had arrived.


    There was a dead silence as the two faced one another.


    ¡°Who sent you here? Was it Zhao Tianjian?¡± Zhao Feng stared at the gray-clothed man. He was 80% certain that Zhao Tianjian was the mastermind.


    He only had one mortal enemy within Sun Feather City, and that was Zhao Tianjian and his son.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­it doesn¡¯t matter who it was or wasn¡¯t since you¡¯re going to die either way.¡± The gray-clothed man laughed cruelly and moved like a ghost. The curved blade in his hand sliced towards Zhao Feng.


    _Shua! Shua! Shua!_


    Zhao Feng felt that the enemy had a high tier footwork skill and super fast attack speed. Only with the help of his left eye was he able to dodge these attacks. If it were someone else that had reached the fourth or fifth rank of the Martial Path, they would probably have already been killed.


    The thin curved blade in the gray-clothed man¡¯s hand was very sharp. Even Xin Tong¡¯s Bronze Skin wouldn¡¯t be able to block it.


    If Zhao Feng was to take one hit, he would definitely lose his life here. He was also trying to find flaws in the enemy. However, the gray-clothed man was very experienced and had been in many life-death situations, so he had few flaws.


    _High ranked sword skill, high ranked footwork skill, high rank Inner Strength skill. All of them have reached the High level. His sword skill has almost reached the Peak level._ While Zhao Feng was barely managing to dodge, he also estimated the opponent¡¯s strength.


    The evaluation made his heart go cold.


    The cultivation of the gray-clothed man had reached the peak of the fifth rank and was close to the sixth. With high tier martial arts he was definitely a peak fighter from the fifth ranks of the Martial Path.


    As the fight continued, Zhao Feng felt his internal injury getting worse.


    _I will definitely die if we keep on fighting in close combat¡­why not¡­,_ Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as he thought of a plan.


    _Teng!_


    He suddenly exited the fight and pushed Lightly Floating Ferry and Air Crossing Breathing Technique to the limit. Instantly he dashed through the trees and headed into the deeper parts of the Sky Cloud Forest.


    This time, since he had exposed his strength, his Lightly Floating Ferry was half again faster then before.


    ¡°Where are you running?¡± the gray-clothed man exclaimed as he immediately followed.


    Zhao Feng started to calm down after running a few miles. His opponent, relying on his cultivation and high ranked, high level footwork skill, had speed on par with himself.


    As Zhao Feng ran he scouted a path for himself by using his left eye, and tried to find obstacles that could stall the enemy behind him. Since his left eye could see further and clearer than any normal vision, Zhao Feng was like a fish in the water that swam swiftly without stopping.


    However, the gray-clothed man was distracted by those obstacles, such as leaves and branches.


    ¡°Hmph, although I cannot throw you off, I can still take you further down into the Sky Cloud Forest and make us perish together,¡± Zhao Feng muttered forcefully. He could feel that Lightly Floating Ferry was improving as he ran.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s plan required there a few deadly beasts about.


    _Roar~_


    The deadly beast¡¯s roar caused the gray-clothed man¡¯s heart to jump.


    ¡°This little bastard¡­hateful!¡± The man in gray clenched his teeth. If the beasts were low tier, such as the fourth, fifth, or sixth rank of the Martial Path, the gray-clothed man would be able to protect himself.


    However, if they were unlucky and met high tier deadly beasts, normal Martial Artists wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to run. That was because high tier deadly beasts had strengths comparable to Martial Masters, the same as the elders of the Zhao sect¡­


    Zhao Feng¡¯s plan was very simple - to lead the gray-clothed man to places with more deadly beasts. Since his left eye had super-vision, Zhao Feng could easily see everything within a fifteen km radius. When the two of them reached a place where there were deadly beasts, Zhao Feng would instantly hide in the dead corner of the beasts awaeness so that the beast would find the gray-clothed man first.


    _Roar! Roar!_


    Zhao Feng led the gray-clothed man towards two Silver Striped Blood Leopards with nasty faces. Their bodies were even bigger than the Green Headed Tiger King.


    Zhao Feng estimated that the Silver Striped Blood Leopard¡¯s strength was around the fifth rank of the Martial Path.


    As soon as they entered the Silver Striped Blood Leopards¡¯ territory and disturbed them, Zhao Feng immediately hid between the branches of a tree and quickly used Hiding Air Technique to erase his aura.


    His Hiding Air Technique had reached the high level and could now fully erase his aura, including scent as well as dropping his body heat.


    Zhao Feng dodged the two Silver Striped Blood Leopards¡¯ senses.The gray-clothed man pursuing behind however, was not so lucky. He did not have Zhao Feng¡¯s eyesight which could see everything within fifteen km.


    _Roar, roar! Hu¡ª-_


    The two Silver Striped Blood Leopards pounced towards the gray-clothed man.


    ¡°Shameless kid!¡± the gray-clothed man swore. He knew where Zhao Feng was, but the two Silver Striped Leopards had come for him instead!


    The Silver Striped Blood Leopards had amazing speed as they whipped through the branches. Their strength was around the peak of the fifth rank.


    If there was only one, the gray-clothed man could easily defeat it, but since there were two, it would be difficult.


    Just as the man in gray was being beaten by the Silver Striped Blood Leopards -


    ¡°Hahaha¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng, hidden between the gaps of a tree, laughed gloatingly. With his mysterious left eye, his survival rate was much higher than others.


    ¡°Hehe, do not blame me for helping,¡± Zhao Feng laughed darkly as he took the Silver Bow off his back and attached three poison arrows to it¡­

 33 Life in Death

    Because he was hiding within the tree, Zhao Feng could see the gray-clothed man, but the gray-clothed man could not see him. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t fire immediately, instead using his left eye to calculate the route of his arrows.


    _Once I shoot, my aura will be found by the two deadly beasts¡­_ Zhao Feng kept calm. He did not want to face off against the two Silver Striped Blood Leopards as soon as he killed the man in gray.


    The man in gray was barely able to deal with the two deadly beasts, but he also used part of his energy to keep a lookout for Zhao Feng¡¯s tricks.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh. This person was worthy of being an elite. In this situation he was still able to keep his guard up.


    _Hong¡ª¡ª¡ª¨C_


    Right at this moment a slight tremble came from the ground, as if there was a massive beast coming through.


    _Si!_


    The two Silver Striped Blood Leopards, who had a cultivation at the peak of fifth rank, immediately shuddered and stopped attacking.


    _Roar!_


    A frightening howl sounded throughout a fifteen km radius. Uncountable wild beasts and even some deadly beasts trembled upon hearing it.


    _What is that!?,_ Zhao Feng felt his eardrums rattle. Just the roar made him become uneasy.


    _Not good¡­,_ the gray-clothed man seemed to realize something and his face instantly turned white. The man in gray knew more about Sky Cloud Forest than Zhao Feng.


    _That is¡­_ Using his left eye, Zhao Feng saw a purple-black colored Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger, seven to eight meters high and tens of meters long, it looked like a small hill. Such size made him tremble in awe.


    In terms of length, the Green Headed Tiger King would be an infant compared to it. The most terrifying part was the pair of jet black wings on the tiger¡¯s back, allowing it to fly.


    _Hong¡ª-_


    Trees would shatter to pieces wherever the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger went.


    ¡°Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger¡­high tier deadly beast. Strength around the eighth rank of the Martial Path!¡± The gray-clothed man quavered in fear.


    The aura of a high tier deadly beast would make one tremble in respect.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s legs shook helplessly. He couldn¡¯t control his body under the frightening aura.


    _Roar!_


    A loud roar came from the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger which now pounced towards the Silver Striped Blood Leopards and the man in gray.


    ¡°Help me¡­¡± the gray-clothed man tried to resist.


    _Crack!_


    The Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger opened its mouth and swallowed a Silver Striped Blood Tiger whole. The scene made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart go cold. Zhao Feng even had the feeling that the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger knew of his existence.


    After the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger ate a Silver Striped Blood Leopard, its blood-purple eyes casually looked towards where Zhao Feng was hiding.


    _What!?_ Zhao Feng felt his body turn cold.


    When a deadly beast reached the high tier, it was not to be underestimated. Have you ever seen a tiger with wings that is the size of a hill?


    _Run! Run fast¡­if I don¡¯t run there won¡¯t be any chance left,_ Zhao Feng survival instincts kicked in. Under the frightening pressure, Zhao Feng poured all his energy into his left eye, and became calm again. It also released sizzles of heat that spread out evenly throughout his body.


    Zhao Feng felt his terror decrease.


    _Run!_ His body turned into a blur as he ran towards a dead corner. However, Zhao Feng could still felt a deadly aura come crushing down on him.


    _Crack!_


    A scream came from behind him. The other Silver Striped Blood Leopard had also died. In an instant, the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger had killed two deadly beasts of the peak fifth rank. There was only the man in gray left.


    _Run!_ The gray-clothed man ran despairingly in the other direction.


    The Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger was slowly chewing the food in its mouth before it slowly and leisurely chased after the man in gray. Although the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger was going slow, the distance between the two was quickly decreasing. The man in gray had a high ranked speed skill which he had trained to the high level, and in his desperation, his speed was half again faster than Zhao Feng.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed also exploded desperately. His Lightly Floating Ferry was now even smoother.


    ¡°My cultivation has reached the peak of the fourth rank¡­¡± Although Zhao Feng felt his cultivation increase, he didn¡¯t feel any happiness, because the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger¡¯s senses were extremely powerful. Even if one ran twenty km away, one would still be found.


    ¡°Heavenly Moon Cut!¡±


    The gray-clothed man used his final attack knowing that he would die. That sword¡¯s strength had reached the peak level. Not only that, the man¡¯s cultivation had broken through to the sixth rank.


    _Shua!_


    That blade of despair, which could kill almost any cultivator of the sixth rank, hit the body of the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger.


    _Roar!_


    The Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger opened its mouth and swallowed the man in gray and his weapons whole. As for that devastating Heavenly Moon Cut, it left a one cm wound on the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger. For a creature of such size, this kind of attack was nothing more than a tickle.


    As the gray-clothed man died, Zhao Feng felt himself become shrouded in death¡­the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger¡¯s next target was him!


    It was good that there was still a gap between them, and that the tiger was only slowly chasing him. The Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger also ate some wild and deadly beasts as it chased after him.


    Zhao Feng originally thought that since the tiger was full, it would let him go. However, the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger seemed to be playing with him, slowly but surely pursuing him.


    ¡°This bastard!¡± Zhao Feng swore as he used his left eye to find a route for survival.


    A small creek appeared on his left hand side. It lead into a canyon.


    Zhao Feng saw that there was a deep cave ten km into the canyon. The Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger wouldn¡¯t be able to fit inside that cave. Zhao Feng quickly changed direction and ran towards the creek.


    _Teng! Teng! Teng¡­_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s feet lightly stepped on top of the water as he crossed the creek. He had already trained Lightly Floating Ferry to such a level that walking on water wasn¡¯t hard at all.


    _Hu! Hu!_


    The Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger suddenly flapped its wings as it pounced towards Zhao Feng.


    _Run!_ Zhao Feng sprinted straight towards the cave.


    The tiger wasn¡¯t technically a flying beast, so its flying speed wasn¡¯t fast. Adding on the fact that it was full, it could not fly that fast. However, it still chased Zhao Feng.


    The cave came closer and closer.


    Ten km...nine km...eight km...


    Just as there was two km left, Zhao Feng felt a cold and dark aura.


    _Hu!_


    The aura came from within the canyon!


    _Si~_


    The weird sound caused Zhao Feng¡¯s heart to tremble. The tiger behind him also hesitated. It was obvious that it was being wary as well.


    _Hu~Long~_


    Suddenly, a loud trembling came from within the canyon. A blood-red python, tens of meters long, came out from the cave. The aura of this python wasn¡¯t any weaker than that of the tiger.


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s body froze. There was a python in front and a tiger behind. This was even worse than before!


    Luckily the python¡¯s attention was first attracted by the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger.


    The two creatures faced off against one another. The Two-Winged Tiger roared in midair, as if showing its dominance. The blood-red python hissed back. This was its territory! As for Zhao Feng, this weakling was ignored.


    After facing each other for a breath or three, the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger finally lost its patience and pounced towards the blood-red python.


    _Sou¡ª-_


    The python lunged straight towards the tiger. Immediately, the two deadly beasts were fighting one another. Where they fought, the ground trembled.


    Zhao Feng cautiously concealed his aura as he slowly moved towards the cave.


    _Si! Roar!_


    The two beasts began to bite each other. The bloody scene made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jump.


    Some time later, the movements of the two beasts grew smaller and smaller.


    Half an hour later, there was dead silence within the canyon. Zhao Feng let out a long breath as he slowly moved towards the bodies of the two deadly beasts. He had also confirmed that the two beasts were dead with his left eye.


    Zhao Feng sighed as he arrived in front of the hill-sized beasts. He couldn¡¯t take them back with him to Sun Feather City, they were far too big.


    Suddenly a cold light caught his eye.


    _Yi!_


    Zhao Feng bent down and pulled out a curved blade from the tiger¡¯s corpse. This curved blade was the gray-man¡¯s weapon. It was extremely sharp.


    _Roar~_


    The deadly beasts and wild beasts nearby started to howl. Zhao Feng used his left eye to scan the area and was immediately shocked.


    There were over thirty beasts at the sixth rank of the Martial Path closing in!


    _Not good. The corpses of these two high tier deadly beasts must have attracted other beasts._ Zhao Feng immediately took the curved blade and ran towards the blood-red python¡¯s cave¡­

 34 Leaps and Bounds

    As Zhao Feng entered the cave, he immediately felt cold.


    As he went deeper, the cave grew roomier. There were some deadly beasts and wild beasts inside the cave, but they were all weak. As he could see them from a distance, he used his silver bow to pick them off.


    When they got close, he would use his new curved blade. The blade would easily slice through the deadly beasts.


    Soon, a blood-red rock wall appeared and under the red rock wall, there was a blood-red pond. From time to time, there were bubbles popping on the surface of the pond. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know what the red liquid was, but he felt that its aura was similar to that of the python.


    ¡°Blood plant, Blood Spirit Grass, Blood Bamboo rock¡­three hundred years old, five hundred years old, one thousand years old¡­,¡± Zhao Feng laughed as his eyes rested upon the red rock.


    Some treasured medicines grew on the rock wall and the oldest one had reached one thousand years. As Zhao Feng had once eaten two and three hundred year old resources, he obviously knew the worth of these medicines.


    A normal five hundred year old blood plant was worth twenty-thousand silver or so. As for blood plants and blood spirit grasses over one thousand years of age, there weren¡¯t any in stock in Sun Feather City.


    Zhao Feng roughly calculated that there were around twenty three hundred year plants, over ten five hundred year plants, and three one thousand year old plants.


    _Five hundred year old plants are great for normal Martial Artists. As for thousand year old plants, they are even rare for cultivators of the sixth rank and Martial Masters (7th rank and higher)._


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t restrain his happiness. When one didn¡¯t die there was definitely luck coming your way.


    Zhao Feng had been in a life death situation, but he survived. And in desperation, he had come to this land of luck.


    As Zhao Feng walked towards the red rock wall, he didn¡¯t pick the precious plants immediately. His eyesight focused on the red pond.


    There was some dead skin of a python lying next to the pond. As for the liquid, it flowed from the rock wall.


    ¡°For the red rock wall to grow such precious materials, it can be seen that the liquid is definitely not normal,¡± Zhao Feng stared in excitement. He cautiously bent down and touched the red liquid. Suddenly, there was a pulse from his left eye. The blood red liquid effect was even better than the Body Strengthening Powder.


    ¡°Great!¡± The blood-red pond was the source in which the rock wall was able to grow such rare resources.


    _Plop!_ Zhao Feng immediately jumped in the pond.


    _Gulugulu!_ Zhao Feng felt a hot and spicy energy entering his pores.


    _Wu~_


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t restrain himself from moaning in pleasure.


    _The energy from this pond is much more stronger than the Body Strengthening Powder I bought._


    Zhao Feng circulated Air Crossing Breathing Technique and Metal Wall Technique at the same time.


    The blood-red liquid was very mysterious. It could not only help strengthen one¡¯s body, it could also increase one¡¯s Inner Strength.


    _Time flowed by..._


    Under the help of the liquid, Zhao Feng felt the level of his Air Crossing Breathing Technique and Metal Wall Technique increase dramatically. Over seventy percent of the energy had been absorbed by his bones, blood, and skin.


    _Around half a day later..._


    Zhao Feng felt his Metal Wall Technique finally progress from the peak of the second level to the third level. He felt that his skin was as strong as bronze and that his bones were even harder.


    ¡°Metal Wall Technique has reached the third level. My defense has doubled and my strength has increased by two hundred kg.¡± Zhao Feng was very satisfied. If the Metal Wall Technique was fully consolidated at the third level, his body could face swords and blades straight on.


    After reaching the third level Zhao Feng rested for a few hours more in the red liquid. At this moment, his cultivation had reached the peak of the fourth rank and his Inner Strength was approaching the fifth rank.


    In the life and death situation in the Sky Cloud Forest before, his cultivation had reached the peak of the fourth rank. Even the man in gray had reached the sixth rank before he died.


    ¡°It looks like that one¡¯s potential can be drawn out best when they are in life and death situations,¡± he mused to himself.


    After Metal Wall Technique was fully consolidated, he jumped out of the pond and walked to the entrance of the cave.


    _Roar¡­Kong¡­Raaaar¡­_


    Deadly beasts and stronger wild beasts were killing each other over the corpses of the two high tier deadly beasts.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh as he thought about the worth of high tier deadly beasts. They were worth more than twenty times than the price of a low tier deadly beast.


    But these deadly beasts and wild beasts could eat the corpses of the two high tier deadly beasts to increase their own strength. Zhao Feng was scared to face so many beasts, so he retreated back to the pond.


    ¡°I¡¯ll just train a bit more here, then,¡± he said to himself. He laid down in the blood pond and started to cultivate again. The use of the blood-red pond was very helpful. Once he left, he wouldn¡¯t have the chance to come back.


    _Another half day later..._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation and Inner Strength were both extremely close to the fifth rank of the Martial Path. Inside his left eye, the green glow had reached 1.55 meters.


    ¡°I can try to break through to the fifth rank soon!¡± Zhao Feng said as he jumped out of the pond and started to perform Angry Dragon Fists. Angry Dragon Fists had already been trained to the Max level. Now, the power of some moves had exceeded the original limit. From a different point of view, it could be said that this was a new martial art now.


    Zhao Feng felt like he was burning.


    _Teng!_


    Zhao Feng picked a five hundred year old blood plant off the red rock wall.


    When a normal Martial Artist reached the peak of a rank, they couldn¡¯t break through to the next rank immediately. This was because there was a problem called a bottleneck.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s purpose of using the blood plant was to open this bottleneck. The five hundred year blood plant had much more energy than a three hundred year old blood plant. As Zhao Feng ate it, he immediately felt the energy run wildly through his body.


    He immediately circulated Air Crossing Breathing Technique to absorb the energy.


    _One day and one night later..._


    Zhao Feng felt his blood mix with his Inner Strength. He felt more and more threads of Inner Strength being formed.


    _The amount of Inner Strength I have has almost doubled since I¡¯ve broken through to the fifth rank. My body¡¯s attributes have obviously been increased as well._


    Zhao Feng could see the changes throughout his body with his left eye.


    _Soon._ He consolidated his realm and absorbed the remnants of the medicine. Adding Inner Strength onto his Air Crossing Breathing Technique, his raw speed had reached a whole new level. Zhao Feng¡¯s overall strength had undergone dramatic changes due to the breakthrough.


    If he met the gray-clothed man now, he was certain that he could fight and win.


    Cultivation was the base strength. As the base strength increases, chi, speed, and skills will have much more power.


    After another day of consolidation, Zhao Feng had once again returned to the cave entrance.


    _Wu~ Roar¡ª¨C_


    A piercing scream came from within the canyon. Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t stop himself from trembling.


    _That was¡­_


    His expression changed.


    Inside the canyon, an eight meter long Azure Eyed Hyena stood. The hyena released its deadly aura and it made all the wild and deadly beasts within a fifteen km radius cower in fear.


    It was obvious that the Azure Eyed Hyena was also a high tier deadly beast. Its strength wasn¡¯t any weaker than the Blood-red Python or the Two-Winged Sword Teeth Tiger.


    The Hyena spotted Zhao Feng as soon as he peeked out of the cave and it came pouncing towards him like the wind immediately.


    _What speed!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pupils contracted as he activated his Inner Strength and retreated back into the cave.


    _Hong¡ª_ ¡ª-


    The cave began to shake as the Hyena crashed into the entrance. The shock wave caused Zhao Feng to groan in pain.


    ¡°High tier deadly beast! What power!¡± he cursed.


    Because he had been circulating his Inner Strength and he had reached the third level of the Metal Wall Technique, he was unharmed. If it was a cultivator of the fourth rank of the Martial Path, the shockwave alone could have almost killed them.


    _Peng¡­_


    The Azure Eyed Hyena repeatedly attacked the entrance.


    Zhao Feng felt like the mountain was shaking. It was good that the entrance was hard enough, and small compared to the Azure Eyed Hyena. After a few attacks, the entrance began to crumble instead.


    _Boom!_ The entrance came down.


    _Ah!_ Zhao Feng¡¯s face turned black. After a few more rumbles, the Azure Eyed Hyena left the entrance.


    However, Zhao Feng could still feel its aura. After the Blood-red Python died, this was now the Hyena¡¯s territory. Even if Zhao Feng managed to dig outside he would still have to face a strong enemy. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to return back to the depths of the cave.


    The cave still had small animals and beasts which could be used for food.


    _Plop!_


    Zhao Feng jumped back into the blood-red pond and he started to concentrate on training Metal Wall Technique again. The red liquid had great benefits for the body. Zhao Feng felt his body undergo subtle changes.


    _Peh! Peh!_


    The thumping inside his left eye released sizzles of heat throughout his body, which made his absorption rate of the red liquid increase.


    One hour¡­two hours¡­three hours¡­


    Zhao Feng felt his body becoming harder and harder.


    Half a day¡­one day¡­two days¡­


    After two days, Zhao Feng finally reached the fourth level of the Metal Wall Technique.

 35 Beginning of the Main Tournament, Part One

    The first three levels were the foundation of Metal Wall Technique. Every level after that would give the cultivator a massive increase in power. Once this body martial art was trained to the fourth level, the cultivator¡®s body was as tough as a metal wall and impenetrable.


    This meant that Zhao Feng could counter Xin Fei with his body alone, and most cultivators of the fourth and fifth rank couldn¡¯t harm him. The fourth level of the Metal Wall Technique not only strengthened the skin, it also strengthened the bones by molding them inside, which meant that the cultivator¡¯s strength far surpassed others of the same rank.


    Zhao Feng felt that the changes within his body were very obvious. Without using Inner Strength, his every move and action would still contain unstoppable power.


    ¡°I can easily beat cultivators of the fourth rank with just my body. I can even counter against some fifth rankers.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and examined his body. At this moment, Zhao Feng finally realized the greatness of a body martial skill.


    If he had first trained Metal Wall Technique to the fourth level, he wouldn¡¯t have had a hard time fighting the three assassins.


    _Teng!_


    Zhao Feng jumped out of the pond and consolidated his foundation. Then, he crept towards the entrance. The entrance had been fully blocked by the fallen stones. However, Zhao Feng could still see the scenery outside through the gaps.


    ¡°It still hasn¡¯t left yet?!¡± Zhao Feng scrunched up his eyebrows. The Azure Eyed Hyena was lying inside the canyon, sleeping. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare make any suspicious moves. All he did was move some of the smaller rocks aside.


    _Wu~~~_


    Just at this moment, the Azure Eyed Hyena howled. Zhao Feng felt helpless as he returned back to the cave. Being a high tier deadly beast, the Azure Eyed Hyena had extreme senses. Trying to hide from it wasn¡¯t easy.


    ¡°There are still two more days till the main tournament starts.¡± Zhao Feng was slightly aggravated as he soaked inside the pond.


    He couldn¡¯t forcefully break out. The strength of the Azure Eyed Hyena was at the eighth rank of the Martial Path. Any cultivators under the seventh rank would be instantly killed.


    Every three ranks was a huge difference. For example, a cultivator at the peak of the sixth rank would easily lose to a cultivator that had reached the seventh rank, all other things being equal.


    The Hyena was a Martial Master, as it had reached the eighth rank. Even some of the sects elders couldn¡¯t beat it.


    Zhao Feng decided that if he couldn¡¯t get out, he should just cultivate. Lying in the pond, he circulated Air Crossing Breathing Technique and Metal Wall Technique again. Although the red liquid still greatly helped Metal Wall Technique, the increase was now much slower than before.


    Two more days passed by in a blink. Zhao Feng¡¯s Metal Wall Technique had increased by leaps and bounds again, although it didn¡¯t reach the fifth level. Throughout that period, he had eaten a five hundred year old blood plant and a five hundred year old blood bamboo shoot.


    Zhao Feng then ate a blood spirit grass and felt his Inner Strength purify into a higher quality.


    With the help of the blood plant and the red pond, the level of his Inner Strength had reached the peak of the fifth rank. It wasn¡¯t any weaker than Zhao Han¡¯s now.


    The use of the blood bamboo shoot was even more helpful. It helped excrete the poisons in one¡¯s body. Having used so many treasured resources, there were some poisons inside his body and he had some small internal injuries. But after using the blood bamboo shoot, he felt himself excrete a thick black liquid multiple times, which helped him get rid of the poisons and heal his internal injuries.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s Inner Strength was at the peak of the fifth rank, and his cultivation was closing on the peak fifth rank as well. His Metal Wall Technique was almost at the peak of the fourth level.


    But he didn¡¯t feel happy at all.


    ¡°Today is the start of the main tournament.¡± Zhao Feng shook his head sadly. He was still trapped within the cave and he couldn¡¯t get out.


    ***********************


    _During this time..._


    _Sun Feather City, Zhao sect._


    All the elite inner disciples had showed up. First place Zhao Linlong, Second place Zhao Chi, Third place Zhao Han¡­


    All the geniuses had arrived.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t he here yet?¡± Zhao Yufei beautiful eyes scanned around the place, but she couldn¡¯t see Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had finally reached the fourth rank of the Martial Path after half a month. This included the help of Air Crossing Breathing Technique and precious resources¡­


    On the stage, there were fifty chairs arranged in five rows. On the seats sat fifty inner disciples. The fifty chairs represented the fifty spots of inner disciples.


    The first three chair owners were the top three disciples of the Zhao sect. All of them had at least reached the fifth rank of the Martial Path. By looking at their auras, it could be seen that Zhao Chi and Zhao Han had both recently reached the fifth rank.


    As for the number one disciple Zhao Linlong, he had never opened his eyes from the start, making him all the more mysterious. He never opened his eyes to watch any fights.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t the top outer disciple Zhao Feng here?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I heard that he beat a cultivator of the fourth rank only using the strength of a half-step Martial Artist,¡± the sect disciples discussed. Only a small number of people from the Zhao sects high levels realized Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t here.


    _On the stage..._


    ¡°If he was here and was the fourth rank of the Martial Path at least, he would be able to reach top five without a problem¡­,¡± one white-bearded old man murmured to himself. This white-bearded old man was the main judge of the outer disciples contest, the one who had blocked Zhao Tianjian¡¯s attack.


    Today he was also one of the two main judges of the main tournament.


    ¡°Hmph. If he can arrive, then the sun must be coming from the South.¡± Zhao Tianijan¡¯s eyes flashed violently, but then he thought suspiciously, _But why hasn¡¯t Grey Eagle, the one that took the mission, reported back yet?_


    *******************


    _Inside the Sky Cloud Forest, in the cave..._


    Zhao Feng was clinging onto his last string of hope. Time passed slowly. He was certain that the main tournament had now started. With the Azure Eyed Hyena guarding outside, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to make any rash moves.


    All he could do was duly cultivate Metal Wall Technique and Air Crossing Breathing Technique.


    Another day passed by in a flash. Zhao Feng¡¯s Metal Wall Technique had reached the peak of the fourth level. His Inner Strength had reached the limit of the fifth rank. Even his cultivation was slowly proceeding towards the peak of the fifth rank.


    ¡°One day has passed from the start of the main tournament.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any hope left. Although the inner disciple tournament was important, it wasn¡¯t as important as his own life.


    Furthermore, if he had enough strength, he wouldn¡¯t need to fear anyone when he returned back to the sect.


    _Roar¡ª-_


    From inside the canyon came a shout.


    _Hm?_


    Zhao Feng immediately jumped out of the pond. That sound clearly came from the Azure Eyed Hyena.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go and check it out.¡± Zhao Feng used Lightly Floating Ferry and arrived at the cave entrance rapidly. Through the cracks, he saw the view of the outside. From the other side of the canyon, a few humans appeared.


    Humans!


    Zhao Feng first was happy, then his mood dropped again. Only Martial Masters would be able to take on high tier deadly beasts. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye could see that five km away from the cave, there were two men and one woman. Their ages were around seventeen or eighteen, the oldest was around twenty.


    With their age, it was almost impossible for them to be a Martial Master. In Zhao Feng¡¯s mind, the sect¡¯s elders had all reached seventy or eighty.


    But the Hyena seemed to be wary of the people. The three people all wore the same clothes, so it seemed that there were from the same faction. As they were five km away, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t hear their voices as his ears weren¡¯t as powerful as his eye.


    At this time, the youth at the front said faintly, ¡°This bastard seems to have some intelligence.¡±


    ¡°No challenge at all,¡± the other youth said disdainfully.


    ¡°Leave it to me,¡± the girl said.


    ¡°Sure, little sister Yuan. Your actual combat skills are too weak, you probably can¡¯t even kill it in one move,¡± the youth at the front said.


    If Zhao Feng could hear what they were saying he would have been shocked. Soon, he watched the girl walk towards the high tier deadly beast.


    _Wu~~~_


    The Azure Eyed Hyena pounced towards the girl.


    _Oh my god!_


    Zhao Feng was stunned. That girl was going to die!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was pushed to the maximum. The whole world slowed down tenfold.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    The girl floated up. Her jade hands lightly swiped the air and a azure-colored light formed in her hands, and then flew at the head of the Hyena.


    _Ssss¡ª¡ª_


    The tougher than metal skin of the Azure Eyed Hyena was easily sliced open. The Hyena screamed as its head exploded.


    _Hong¡ª¨C_


    The corpse fell to the ground.


    Zhao Feng was shocked. His left eye was still thumping. Inside the pitch black dimension of his eye, the green light split into two figures. One of them was the Hyena, while the other was the girl.


    The two figures closed in on each other. The girl simply waved her hand. Her attack contained insights too deep for Zhao Feng to understand and killed the Hyena in one hit.


    The scene in his mind was replayed back and forth, Zhao Feng stood dazed as if he was in a trance. He was so focused that he didn¡¯t even notice the three people leaving.


    ¡°Little sister Yuan, although your opponent was very weak, the power of that move wasn¡¯t bad,¡± the youth at the front praised her.


    When Zhao Feng opened his eyes. There was no one left inside the canyon, only the corpse of the Azure Eyed Hyena. Everything that happened was like a dream.


    But if he closed his left eye, the scene of the girl killing the high tier deadly beast would be replayed back and forth¡­

 36 Beginning of the Main Tournament, Part Two

    ¡°Where are those people from?¡± Zhao Feng thought that everything was surreal.


    Unexpectedly, his left eye had opened a new ability: It could memorize any scene he witnessed and replay it perfectly.


    If Zhao Feng was willing, he could open the scene and try to gain some insights. He knew that his knowledge of the outside world was limited. The Azure Flower continent had a countless number of countries. Just Sky Cloud Forest alone passed through more than ten countries. Sun Feather City was just a small city within a country.


    Regaining his composure, Zhao Feng soon turned happy. Now that the Hyena was dead, nothing could stop him from leaving.


    _I need to leave fast!_ Zhao Feng felt anxious as he thought about the main tournament.


    The cave entrance was blocked by rocks. All he needed to do was open up a path.


    _Peng!_


    The smaller rocks were only about one-hundred and fifty kg. Just with his body alone, he could crush the rocks. If he added Inner Strength to it, the rocks would be shattered.


    When Zhao Feng met larger rocks, he started to push them aside. Normal fifth rankers had seven hundred and fifty kg of strength using their body alone. Because Zhao Feng had trained the Metal Wall Technique to the fourth level, he had at least 1250 kg of power, five hundred more than what normal cultivators of the fifth rank had. Even so, the main use of Metal Wall Technique was to help increase one¡¯s defense and not increase one¡¯s power.


    Zhao Feng finally opened the path up after half an hour. However, he didn¡¯t leave immediately. There were still some precious resources left on the red rock wall.


    _Raaah! Roar!_


    At this moment, some deadly beasts and wild beasts began to scream.


    ¡°The body of the high tier deadly beast will attract more beasts.¡± Having been through this before, Zhao Feng immediately increased his speed. Like a rocket, he flew to the rock wall and took some of the plants. There was only one goal for him: to take the three one thousand year old plants. The thousand year blood plant, thousand year blood spirit grass, and the thousand year blood bamboo shoot.


    He had a couple reasons for why he did this. First, he had to save time. There were many beasts gathering! Second, although the three hundred and five hundred year old plants were precious, Zhao Feng had already eaten many of them, so their effects weren¡¯t that useful for him.


    _Ceng!_


    He didn¡¯t dare stop after he took the plants.


    Entering the canyon, there were already seven or eight deadly beasts fighting each other. There were also thirty strong wild beasts here, all of them had the strength of a fourth rank. Zhao Feng tried his best to dodge the beasts and headed straight towards the creek.


    Although he tried to dodge the beasts, there were still some wild and deadly beasts that came for him.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Zhao Feng shouted as his palm hit a low tier deadly beast.


    _Craaack!_


    The bones of the low tier deadly beast was instantly shattered. This attack of his was pure muscle, not a bit of Inner Strength used. The low tier deadly beast was slightly stronger than the Green Headed Tiger King he¡¯d met when he first came to the Sky Cloud Forest.


    Killing the beast in one hit caused the other wild beasts to scatter in fear, and following his memory, Zhao Feng made his way back the way he came.


    On the way, he again met many deadly beasts. This was because the high tier deadly beast¡¯s corpse just attracted way too many other animals.


    ¡°Flaming Metal Fist!¡± Zhao Feng shouted as a faint green glow poured out from his fist. The fist hit a low tier deadly beast whose strength was equal to a cultivator of the fifth rank. Under this one punch, the low tier deadly beast had its organs shattered.


    With the use of the blood spirit grass and blood-red pond, his Inner Strength was much stronger than the Inner Strength of other fifth ranks. When he fully circulated Air Crossing Breathing Technique, he could instantly kill a cultivator of the same rank.


    ***************************


    _One hour later..._


    Zhao Feng finally reached the outer edges of the Sky Cloud Forest and rushed back towards Sun Feather City.


    ¡°I heard that the Zhao sect main tournament is ending soon.¡±


    ¡°The main tournament is divided into the Ranking challenge and the Spot challenge. Out of the one hundred people only fifty will be Inner disciples. The latter should be finished now. I¡¯m so sad I couldn¡¯t get to watch.¡±


    On the way Feng heard some information about what was going on. After he returned to the sect, he didn¡¯t immediately go towards the place where the main tournament was held, instead he first returned home and put the three one thousand year old plants away.


    Quickly, he changed his clothes and rushed out the door. Zhao Feng used his Hiding Air Technique to show that his cultivation was only at the peak fourth rank. As for his Inner Strength, it was showing the fifth rank.


    ¡°This is the best I can do.¡± Zhao Feng soon arrived at the place by using Lightly Floating Ferry.


    At this moment, the tournament seemed to be in the second stage.


    ¡°After one day of intense fighting, the Spot challenge has ended and the fifty inner disciples have been decided. The Ranking challenge will be next. The fifty of you left will challenge one another to find out the overall ranking and according to your ranks, the prizes will be given,¡± a powerful and old voice reverberated.


    In the middle of the site, there was an arena. Opposite the arena, there was a stage.


    There were fifty seats on the stage and on each seat sat one person, representing an inner disciple.


    The first round Spot Challenge was when the fifty outer disciples challenged the fifty inner disciples, trying to get an inner disciple spot. Zhao Feng scanned and found that from the outer disciples, Zhao Yufei, Zhao Yue, and Zhao Guang had all reached the top fifty.


    However, their ranks were mostly in the last ten. Only Zhao Yufei had reached the top twenty. Obviously, this was the Spot Challenge rankings, and not the real rankings.


    ¡°I still came late.¡± Zhao Feng used his identity card and passed through the checkpoint.


    ¡°It¡¯s Zhao Feng!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s him, the top outer disciple!¡± Zhao Feng immediately attracted the crowd¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Judge, can I still participate?¡± Zhao Feng said as he arrived, puffing from his run.


    ¡°No matter who you are, you cannot join since the first round of the tournament is over,¡± the judge said. He didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng needed special attention.


    ¡°Hm? It¡¯s him!¡± The white-bearded main judge¡¯s eyes lit up. He was the main judge of the outer disciples contest and had seen Zhao Feng dominate it.


    Hearing the judge¡¯s words, Zhao Feng shook his head helplessly. He wasn¡¯t very interested since there were only two to three people who were his match. But Zhao Feng was still interested by the rewards. If one reached the top three, they could could go to the Martial Arts Library and choose a peak ranked skill.


    ¡°Wait,¡± the command came from the main judge.


    ¡°Main judge? What do you mean¡­?¡± the judge that was organizing asked doubtfully.


    ¡°This kid easily dominated the outer disciples contest and came in first. His understanding and potential is immeasurable. I think we can give him a chance,¡± the white-bearded old man said.


    Zhao Feng looked gratefully towards him. The judge had helped him more than once.


    ¡°I oppose!¡± a cold voice sounded from opposite corner. The person was Zhao Tianjian.


    ¡°Every country has their own rules! How can rules be changed for one person? If they arrive late for the main tournament, then it is obvious that he is disregarding the rules!¡± Zhao Tianjian said righteously.


    Zhao Feng felt sick. He was late because Zhao Tianjian had sent assassins after him. Now, Zhao Tianjian was stopping him from entering the tournament.


    ¡°You¡¯re right! Zhao Tianjian is correct! We can¡¯t let people like him through the back door.¡±


    ¡°Heh, this kid can wait for the next tournament three years later.¡± Many people sent gloating looks at Zhao Feng.


    The high ups of the Zhao sect started to discuss among themselves. This year¡¯s contest was very important. Not only had some of the elders arrived, even the head of the sect Zhao Tiancang was here. Their point of view was different than others. They would rather raise more geniuses than care about rules.


    ¡°What do the two main judges think?¡± the head of the sect Zhao Tiancang said without expression. Three people had the most power in the main tournament: the head of the sect and the two main judges.


    ¡°I support Zhao Feng. It¡¯s better for the sect if we have more geniuses,¡± the white-bearded main judge said. Immediately, all the people turned to look at the other main judge. The other judge was a white-robed old man.


    Zhao Feng saw that this person was familiar. He then immediately realized that this person was the one guarding the Martial Arts Library the last time he¡¯d visted.


    The white-robed old man also saw Zhao Feng, and said deeply, ¡°I also support Zhao Feng.¡±


    The crowd stirred. Both the main judges had decided to support Zhao Feng!


    Two of the three people who had the most power here had decided to help Zhao Feng. Even the head of the sect couldn¡¯t do anything about it now.


    ¡°How could this happen¡­?¡± Zhao Tianijan¡¯s face turned green.

 37 Ranking Challenge

    ¡°Ok, we¡¯ll act as the two main judges say and allow Zhao Feng to participate.¡± The head of the sect Zhao Tiancang looked at Zhao Feng with interest.


    With the head of the sect and the two main judges agreeing, no one dared to oppose them. This was the first time Zhao Feng had ever felt a sense of belonging to his sect.


    Zhao Tianjian was trembling in anger. He couldn¡¯t believe that Zhao Feng could return alive. _Gray Eagle has failed. With Gray Eagle¡¯s strength, how could he possibly fail?_


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡± the judge said. ¡°I shall explain the rules to you now.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Feng listened carefully.


    People challenged one another in this tournament. The first round Spot Challenge was when the fifty outer disciples challenged the fifty inner disciples. If they won, they took the place of the inner disciples. Every outer disciple had three chances to challenge someone. If they lost all three challenges then they would remain outer disciples. Therefore, before the outer disciples challenged anyone, they first had to estimate their own strength and choose the weaker inner disciples.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, since you were late, you only have one chance to challenge someone,¡± the judge said strictly.


    One chance?


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. ¡°I understand.¡± With his strength, he could easily become an inner disciple. Unless Zhao Feng was retarded and chose someone like Zhao Linlong, he would win. Obviously, Zhao Feng would not challenge the strongest guy straight away.


    ¡°Now you can choose one person. If you win, you can take their spot,¡± the judge warned.


    ¡°Ok!¡± Zhao Feng jumped on stage and surveyed the fifty people.


    Fifty people, fifty seats all arranged in order.


    The order from left to right went Zhao Linlong, Zhao Chi, Zhao Han, Zhao Qin¡­


    The first row of ten represented the top ten inner disciples. On the seventh chair of the second row, Zhao Feng spotted Zhao Yufei. Zhao Yufei looked at him and gently smiled. The two were neighbours and were quite familiar with each other.


    Zhao Yue, Zhao Yijian, Zhao Gan, and Zhao Guang were between fortieth and fiftieth place. Apart from Zhao Feng, there were only five others that had become inner disciples.


    Who should I challenge? Zhao Feng smiled as he inspected them. Zhao Linlong, who was in first place had his eyes closed, as if he was trying to gain insights into something. It seemed like the tournament had nothing to do with him.


    The top inner disciples didn¡¯t even worry. However, the disciples ranked at the bottom were nervous. After all, Zhao Feng was the top outer disciple. He could easily reach the top ten with his strength.


    _The second row¡­sixth seat¡­_ Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes settled on the person on Zhao Yufei¡¯s right.


    ¡°Number sixteen Zhao Fei, please come out,¡± the judge said. Zhao Fei was sixteen or seventeen years old. He had the cultivation of the peak third rank, but his aura wasn¡¯t any weaker than cultivators of the fourth rank.


    ¡°Kid, don¡¯t think that you can beat me just because you¡¯ve reached the fourth rank!¡± Zhao Fei calmly walked on stage.


    ¡°Heh, this Zhao Fei is pretty strong. With his Block Metal Body, he¡¯s beaten two quasi Martial Artists.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng might not advance so smoothly.¡±


    In terms of winning, Zhao Feng obviously had a higher chance. But his opponent¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t weak either, so it would be a tough fight.


    ¡°Metal Sand Palm!¡± Zhao Fei only used a middle ranked martial art.


    _Pah!_


    The damage was higher than most high ranked martial arts. This was because it had been trained to the peak level!


    Zhao Feng was slightly impressed. At the outer disciple contest, only he had trained middle ranked martial arts to the high level. The thing was, Zhao Fei¡¯s Metal Sand Palm complemented his Block Metal Body. Therefore, this palm could beat Zhao Yijian¡¯s Ice Flowing Sword.


    ¡°Zhao Fei¡¯s strength is not any weaker than half-step Martial Artists now.¡± A few of the inner disciples nodded in approval.


    Flaming Metal Fist!


    Zhao Feng casually threw out a punch. He was using core ranked martial arts. Not only that, he didn¡¯t add any Inner Strength to it.


    This scene caused many people to be shocked. Not using Inner Strength meant that he didn¡¯t have an advantage.


    ¡°Kid, don¡¯t try to be cool!¡± Zhao Fei took a deep breath and circulated Block Metal Body and Metal Sand Palm to his limit. Originally he didn¡¯t think that he¡¯d beat Zhao Feng, he could only spar a bit. But since the opponent was so arrogant¡­


    On the stage, the two figures closed in on each other and the fist and palm hit the other.


    ¡°Break¡ª¨C¡±


    Zhao Fei had a face of urgency and happiness But reality is cruel.


    _Peh!_


    The second his palm hit the fist, he felt overwhelming power numb his arm.


    _Ah!_


    Zhao Fei¡¯s started to sweat. He felt that Zhao Feng was as powerful as a bull.


    _Pong¡ª_


    Zhao Fei didn¡¯t even understand what was happening and was sent flying. One move. All it took Zhao Feng to beat Zhao Fei was one move. Although it wasn¡¯t surprising that Zhao Feng would win, to win in one move was startling.


    ¡°He won by using core ranked martial arts and he didn¡¯t use any Inner Strength.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng has learnt a high ranked body martial art¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng, challenge successful! You are ranked sixteenth for now. As for Zhao Fei, you have three chances to challenge someone¡­¡± the judge declared.


    After beating Zhao Fei, Zhao Feng walked calmly to the sixth seat of the second row. On his left was Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Your Metal Wall Technique has reached at least the third level,¡± Zhao Yufei said, slightly surprised. Zhao Feng had learned this skill from her grandfather only a week ago!


    According to her knowledge, Metal Wall Technique was very hard to train. Her grandfather had said that Zhao Feng would only be able to train it to the second level at best. But from Zhao Feng¡¯s performance, his Metal Wall Technique had reached at least the third level.


    ¡°Yep!¡± Zhao Feng smiled. His Metal Wall Technique had already reached the peak fourth level. There was a huge difference between the third and fourth level. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even use half his strength when fighting Zhao Fei.


    Onstage, the fighting continued. According to the rules, Zhao Fei had another chance to challenge someone. Soon, Zhao Fei successfully beat someone who was ranked twenty-sixth.


    The tournament was delayed since Zhao Feng had entered halfway through to get through the new Spot Challenges.


    Because there were fifty spots for inner disciples and there was fifty-one people, one person was eliminated. But Zhao Feng and five other outer disciples had become inner disciples.


    ¡°The spot challenge has finished¡­¡± he judge let out a breath and started to declare the start of the next round. They were proceeding to the Ranking tournament.


    According to the previous news, the top twenty, ten and three had different rewards. The top three could choose peak ranked martial arts!


    This was where Zhao Feng was especially interested. It was obvious that the competition was going to be very fierce. Also, the inner disciples ranking decided one¡¯s honor and glory. All the youths here were eighteen or under, and they had the desire to win.


    ¡°The second round Ranking Tournament means that all of you have three chances to challenge someone. If you fail, then your chances decrease by one¡­¡± the judge said.


    The rules were very clear.


    The ones ranked behind would challenge the ones ranked higher. If they won, they would replace the opponent¡¯s rank. Everyone only had three chances to challenge someone. If they were successful, they still had three chances, but if they failed, their chances decreased by one.


    ¡°Understood.¡± The fifty people nodded their heads.


    The ones ranked last challenged others first. It started with rank fifty.


    However, for those at the bottom, they were already very happy in becoming an inner disciple and they knew that they had no chance to get to the top twenty. Therefore, there weren¡¯t many fortieth to fiftieth ranked people doing challenges.


    Even if there were, they just wanted to show off, and if they won higher rankings they didn¡¯t even get any rewards.


    Fortieth¡­thirty-ninth¡­thirty-eighth¡­


    The rankings edged closer and closer. When it reached the twentieth to thirtieth places, the fighting became more and more fierce. People such as Zhao Yue and Zhao Yijian had all reached the top thirty. Zhao Yijian had reached twelfth, and Zhao Yue had reached fifteenth.


    Overall, the top twenty inner disciples had the strength of quasi Martial Artists. Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei were both true Martial Artists so no one dared to challenge them. There were less than ten disciples who had reached the fourth rank of the Martial Path.


    After the top twenty were confirmed, they started to compete for the top ten. Soon, it was Zhao Yufei¡¯s turn to challenge someone. Zhao Feng would challenge someone after Zhao Yufei¡¯s turn.


    There were several top ten inner disciples that had not reached the fourth rank of the Martial Path. Zhao Yufei decided to challenge number six, and she won her match easily.


    After reaching the top ten, Zhao Yufei gave up her chance to keep on challenging someone. This way, she could still save her two chances for the next two rounds.


    ¡°Number sixteen Zhao Feng, it¡¯s your turn,¡± the judge declared.

 38 Zhao Hans Challenge

    Challenge 38 ¨C Zhao Han¡¯s Challenge


    It was finally Zhao Feng¡¯s turn. Being the top outer disciple, who would he challenge?


    The top six had all reached the fourth rank. Zhao Linlong had reached the peak of the fifth rank, a bit better than Zhao Feng. Under the expectant eyes of the crowd, Zhao Feng slowly said, ¡°Pass.¡±


    What!? Pass?


    ¡°Giving up your chance to challenge someone this round means that you only have two chances left to challenge someone,¡± the judge said, surprised.


    However, the rules said that the challenger could give up their chance if they wanted to. Zhao Feng obviously had his plans when he passed his turn.


    His goal was the top three. This was only the first of three rounds, he didn¡¯t need everyone to know his true strength.


    Secondly, he first wanted to understand the true strength of Zhao Linlong. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to look down on the top three as they had all reached the fifth rank.


    ¡°Hmph! You think that because you gave up your chance, I don¡¯t have anyway around that¡­ ¡± Zhao Han, who was ranked third, looked mockingly towards Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng could feel his enmity.


    Before the tournament, Zhao Han had once told him that he would break his arm, just like Zhao Feng had done to Zhao Yijian.


    After ten days, Zhao Han¡¯s cultivation was fully stable, and he could keep his Inner Strength under control.


    Number fifteen¡­fourteen¡­thirteen¡­


    The challengers became stronger. The competition for the top ten was very intense, but it was mainly focused on the seventh to tenth places. This was because the other six had all reached the fourth rank or higher, and their places were stable.


    Soon, the top ten was decided. Now, the people focused on the top five and even the top three.


    ¡°I want to challenge number four, Zhao Qin,¡± the azure-clothed youth said as he held his halberd. The impression that Zhao Qin gave Zhao Feng was gentle, quiet, and calm.


    ¡°Zhao Tun, you just reached the fourth rank not long ago and you¡¯re already challenging me?¡± Zhao Qin faintly smiled. Her style of fighting was similar to her attitude. She used softness to counter hardness, and her speciality was speed.


    ¡°You¡¯re the only one I can challenge in the top five. Let¡¯s have a good fight!¡± Zhao Tun danced with his halberd. This was just the beginning of the ranking tournament, and two true Martial Artists were already fighting.


    After tangling for a long time, Zhao Qin came out victorious. After all, she had the higher cultivation and her skills were trained to a higher level.


    Although Zhao Tun lost, his ranking stayed the same. Zhao Qin felt helpless as she scanned the top three. The top three were all too strong. All of them had reached the fifth rank. But to give up so easily wasn¡¯t her style.


    Zhao Qin finally made her decision. ¡°I choose to challenge number two, Zhao Chi.¡±


    Zhao Chi had just recently reached the fifth rank as well, but his Inner Strength wasn¡¯t as strong as Zhao Han¡¯s.


    ¡°Haha! You know you¡¯ll still lose Zhao Qin, so why bother!¡± Zhao Chi lazily jumped onstage.


    The two face off. Zhao Feng was finally able to see the strength of the top three now.


    ¡°Blue Cloud Finger!¡± Zhao Qin slowly lifted her finger. A faint blue glow came from the finger. It seemed weak and fragile, yet, it still swished through the air. This finger skill of hers was a high ranked martial art. She had trained it to a high level and she understood how to use it very well.


    _The damage of her skill is not bad. The energy is focused onto one point. It contains both the softness of water and the hardness of ice_ , Zhao Feng analyzed as he watched with his left eye.


    Although Zhao Yijian¡¯s Ice Flowing Sword and Zhao Qin¡¯s Blue Cloud Finger were both high ranked martial arts that had reached the high level, the damage dealt by them was not comparable.


    ¡°Ai¡­you¡¯ve only improved by this much!¡± Zhao Chi¡¯s lazy voice sounded.


    _Shuah!_


    Zhao Chi¡¯s body turned into an afterimage as he dodged Zhao Qin¡¯s attack.


    _Not good!_


    She had still underestimated Zhao Chi¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Zhao Chi¡¯s movement skill has reached the high level,¡± the disciples exclaimed.


    ¡°Howling Sky Fist!¡± Zhao Chi appeared behind Zhao Qin and punched at her.


    His fist was covered in a bright red glow. When it moved through the air, it caused a sound similar to lightning. Just the fist moving through the air caused the eardrums of some inner disciples to tremble.


    _What a devastating fist skill. This skill is infinitely close to a peak ranked martial art, it¡¯s no worse than my Metal Wall Technique_. Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    ¡°Blue Clouds Flying!¡± Zhao Qin shouted as she took the punch straight on. Immediately, she was sent flying and she coughed up blood as she landed on the ground.


    Just one punch injured Zhao Qin. It was lucky that she used softness to counter hardness, any other cultivator would¡¯ve been instantly defeated.


    ¡°That was just warm up.¡± Zhao Chi said indifferently and attacked again. His performance made all the disciples wary of him!


    High ranked footwork skill, high ranked inner strength skill, high ranked body skill¡­


    Zhao Chi¡¯s skills were displayed. Although he had learned many different skills, most of them had reached the high level. Even his body skill had reached the fourth level, meaning that he was able to counter swords and blades with his body alone.


    _There¡¯s no obvious flaws. His Howling Sky Fist is deadly_ , Zhao Feng thought. He was a tough opponent.


    No wonder he looked so disdainfully at him at the outer disciples contest. Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t have been able to last through three moves of his back then.


    Onstage, Zhao Chi was just toying with Zhao Qin. After exchanging around twenty blows, Zhao Qin was puffing already and so surrendered. Zhao Qin knew that she could only last twenty moves since Zhao Chi was going easy on her. If Zhao Chi tried his best, he could win in under three moves.


    ¡°None of you have the right to challenge the top three,¡± Zhao Chi said as he casually glanced towards Zhao Feng.


    Hm?


    Zhao Feng immediately had a feeling that his thoughts were being read. How did he know that Zhao Feng was going to challenge the top three?


    Reading the situation right now, fourth place Zhao Qin, fifth place Zhao Tun, and sixth place Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t seem to have any intentions to try to challenge the top three.


    After Zhao Qin¡¯s turn, it was Zhao Han¡¯s turn.


    ¡°Zhao Han! Zhan Han!¡± Many people cheered on Zhao Han, as he was a contender for becoming first.


    The tournament had now reached a climax. Even Zhao Chi had a solemn expression when looking at Zhao Han. Only first place Zhao Linlong had an expressionless face on.


    Zhao Han¡¯s eyes passed between Zhao Chi and Zhao Linlong. He was ranked third place, and there were only two people in front of him.


    Zhao Linlong, or Zhao Chi?


    The disciples were expectant. It would be an intense match if Zhao Han chose either Zhao Linlong or Zhao Chi.


    However, reality was different. After Zhao Han¡¯s eyes passed Zhao Linlong and Zhao Chi, he started to look at the second row instead.


    _Ah!_


    The disciples of the second row trembled in fear. The first row were the top ten disciples. The second row were the eleventh to twentieth disciples.


    ¡°I want to challenge¡­the sixth seat of the second row!¡± Zhao Han¡¯s cold voice echoed.


    The sixth seat of the second row.


    Zhao Han didn¡¯t challenge the top two, not even the top ten, but the top twenty!


    The sixth seat of the second row? Who was that unlucky bastard?


    The crowds attention turned towards that spot.


    _Me?_ Zhao Feng was stunned.


    Yep, Zhao Han was challenging him!


    ¡°Zhao Han, are you sure you want to do this?¡± The judge scrunched up his eyebrows. ¡°The ones that are ranked higher will lose their spots if they lose to a person with lower ranking. And even if you win, there¡¯s no benefit gained.¡±


    According to the rules, those of higher rank could challenge those of lower ranks. But nobody would do so as there weren¡¯t any benefits. Instead, one would lose one of their challenging chances.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Han¡¯s murderous eyes locked onto Zhao Feng.


    Some of the disciples had understanding looks. Many of them knew that Zhao Han was Zhao Yijian¡¯s cousin and their relationship was pretty good. At the twelfth spot, Zhao Yijian immediately looked gratefully at Zhao Han.


    ¡°Zhao Feng? Do you not have the courage to fight me?¡± Zhao Han mocked.


    ¡°What¡¯s there to fear?¡± Zhao Feng remained expressionless as he jumped onstage.


    Although he knew he would have to fight Zhao Han, he didn¡¯t think that it would be this early.


    _I¡¯ll first break his arm, then I¡¯ll challenge Zhao Linlong_ , Zhao Han planned.


    ¡°Zhao Han¡¯s challenging Zhao Feng?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s obvious, he¡¯s taking revenge for his cousin.¡±


    ¡°Although Zhao Feng¡¯s strong, he¡¯s still not Zhao Han¡¯s match.¡±


    Many disciples were either sympathetic or gloating.


    Although Zhao Feng was the top outer disciple and he was a true Martial Artist, there was still a huge gap between him and Zhao Han.

 39 Let You Have Ten Moves Onstage

    The two true martial art geniuses faced off. One of them was the king of the outer disciples, while the other was a top tier inner disciple.


    The onlookers started to quiet down. Although the final outcome wouldn¡¯t change, this was still an exciting match.


    _Hu~_


    Cold chi started to flow out from Zhao Han. It caused the whole arena to become colder and colder. Although Zhao Feng was still a few meters away, he felt his limbs begin to freeze. This wasn¡¯t his imagination, the cold actually existed! The source of it came from the element of Zhao Han¡¯s Inner Strength.


    ¡°What strong chi! With it containing the element of ice, his Inner Strength is stronger than most other peak fifth rankers,¡± the older generation of the Zhao sect exclaimed.


    Precisely. Zhao Han¡¯s Inner Strength was very powerful. Using this advantage, he had beat the third strongest inner disciple of the Xin family Xin Tong in one move. His strength was already imprinted in their hearts.


    Now that Zhao Han had gained control over his previously unstable Inner Strength fully, he was even more fearsome.


    ¡°Zhao Han found a mysterious crystal shard a few months ago, allowing his Inner Strength to develop exponentially,¡± an old man smiled.


    ¡°No wonder his chi is so high.¡±


    The Azure Flower Continent was full of mysterious items and places. As it had existed for thousands of years, there were many tombs and queer items that could instantly help lucky cultivators who had the chance to obtain them turn into strong cultivators.


    Obviously, Zhao Han was a lucky person, as he was able to obtain a mysterious crystal shard. He had rapidly increased his cultivation level over the past six months and had the right to compete for the top inner disciple.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I¡¯ll let you have three moves.¡± Zhao Han looked down on Zhao Feng. The chill in his voice seemed to perfectly complement his icy Inner Strength.


    Three moves?


    The crowd didn¡¯t think he was arrogant. Instead, they thought that this was perfectly acceptable.


    After all, Zhao Han¡¯s rank far exceeded Zhao Feng¡¯s. From giving Zhao Feng three moves, no one would say that he had bullied the weak.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­three moves? Zhao Han! Are you such a wimp!? I can give you ten moves,¡± Zhao Feng laughed aloud and said mockingly towards Zhao Han.


    Ten moves!


    The crowd looked at Zhao Feng like he was a monster. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t reject the chance to have three moves only, he had even given Zhao Han ten moves to attack first.


    The crowd soon became quiet again after a bit of discussion.


    ¡°He¡¯s definitely joking.¡±


    ¡°Obviously.¡±


    Some shook their heads. ¡°He¡¯s going to lose anyways, so giving Zhao Han ten moves doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    ¡°Ten moves?¡± Zhao Han¡¯s face paled. Suppressing his anger, he bitterly spat out, ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡±


    _Hu~_


    As soon as he finished, his two shoulders emitted an ice-cold aura. The forty-eight inner disciples coughed due to the cold.


    A thin layer of silver white ice appeared on Zhao Han¡¯s palm as it flew at Zhao Feng. The power of this palm could easily destroy anyone of the fourth rank or lower.


    ¡°The first move¡­,¡± Zhao Feng shouted. He didn¡¯t attack. He started to circulate Air Crossing Breathing Technique and Metal Wall Technique to protect his body instead. The two figures clashed together.


    _Pah!_


    Although Zhao Han¡¯s hand hit Zhao Feng, the latter twisted his body away, and successfully blocked the attack. In that interval, the Inner Strength of the two people clashed.


    _Teng! Teng! Teng¡­_


    One of the figures was pushed back.


    What happened!?


    The disciples were in shock, because the one that was pushed back was Zhao Han! Zhao Han steadied himself after being pushed back. His face was dim with anger.


    A numbing feeling came from his arm and couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°How does he have so much power?¡±


    When Zhao Han and Xin Tong sparred ten days ago, Zhao Feng¡¯s body technique was nowhere near developed enough to threaten him. However, today, Zhao Feng¡¯s body technique was even stronger than Xin Tong¡¯s.


    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re not the only one that improved!¡± Zhao Feng smiled as he released his Inner Strength.


    His Inner Strength had broken through the fourth rank and reached the fifth rank. The main point was that Zhao Feng¡¯s chi was under complete control, unlike Zhao Han¡¯s, whose Inner Strength suppressed others in quantity, not quality.


    ¡°Inner Strength of the fifth rank!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was only at the peak of the fourth rank, but his Inner Strength had already reached the fifth rank.


    ¡°His body strengthening technique is extremely powerful. It far exceeds the ones that the sects disciples use,¡± the white-bearded judge smiled. His decision to support Zhao Feng was correct.


    ¡°He still has remaining auras of cultivation resources. It looks like he¡¯s been quite lucky,¡± the head of the sect Zhao Tiancang noted as he looked towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be too full of yourself, I only used fifty-percent of my strength just then!¡± Zhao Han turned his embarrassment into anger.


    ¡°Cold Snow Palm!¡± Zhao Han lept up and slowly pushed out his palm.


    The palm seemed slow, yet, it condensed his Inner Strength to a very dense point. Before the attack arrived, the chill would freeze the opponent¡¯s blood.


    ¡°The second move!¡± Zhao Feng stayed where he stood and once again, circulated Metal Wall Technique and Air Crossing Breathing Technique to block Zhao Han¡¯s attack.


    _Boom!_


    There was a loud boom as the figures intercepted each other. A shock wave swept everything up in a five meter radius.


    Zhao Han retreated back once again. His arm was almost fully numb again.


    After fending off Zhao Han, Zhao Feng felt a cold chi flow into his body. But after the Metal Wall Technique reached the fourth level, his body was not only as strong as metal, it also increased the resistance he had against chi. Not only that, Zhao Feng¡¯s real cultivation was actually at the fifth rank.


    ¡°This is not possible!¡± Zhao Han¡¯s face turned cruel and he leapt furiously towards Zhao Feng.


    However, Zhao Feng was like a metal wall, not moving at all. No matter how furiously he attacked, Zhao Feng time after time fended him off.


    ¡°His defense is probably the best out of the inner disciples.¡± The Zhao sect disciples were in a daze.


    The second move¡­the third move¡­the fourth move¡­


    Every time Zhao Feng blocked a move, he would tell Zhao Han how many moves he had used. Zhao Feng had only defended since the start of the match.


    ¡°Oh my god! Is he really going to let Zhao Han have ten moves?¡±


    ¡°Looks like it. It¡¯s already been five moves and he hasn¡¯t attacked yet.¡±


    Whispers went through the crowd. Near the stage, number twelve ranked Zhao Yijian was pale-faced. ¡°Why is it like this¡­? When did he get so strong? Why isn¡¯t it me!!!¡±


    ¡°Not only did he not die, he became even stronger¡­,¡± Zhao Tianjian¡¯s face was green.


    He had payed someone to assassinate Zhao Feng. Not only did they fail, they allowed Zhao Feng¡¯s strength to increase even more!


    ¡°His defense is at the metal wall level. Even Inner Strength is weakened against it. This means his Metal Wall Technique is at least at the fourth level.¡± Zhao Yufei¡¯s face was full of shock. She couldn¡¯t believe her eyes. She had given Zhao Feng the Metal Wall Technique. She clearly knew how hard it was to train this skill.


    The fifth move¡­the sixth move¡­the seventh move¡­


    Zhao Han¡¯s attacks became more and more insane. At the end, his lips started to leak blood from how hard he was biting them.


    However, every time he attacked, Zhao Feng was never harmed. Instead, he injured himself from the recoil.


    ¡°The ninth move¡­the tenth move¡­,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s voice suddenly rose. ¡°Zhao Han! The ten moves have finished! Your strength disappoints me.¡±


    His voice was like a nightmare. The ten moves had finished!


    Zhao Feng had stated the truth. If I let you have ten moves, then you¡¯ll have ten moves!


    This scene caused the disciples and elders to be extremely disturbed. Now, after the ten moves had finished, Zhao Feng would not defend anymore.


    ¡°Angry Dragon Fists!


    A green color appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s palm. The Angry Dragon Fists he was using now surpassed the original Angry Dragon Fists!


    _Pah¡ª-_


    The floating casual fist just happened to hit the flaw in Zhao Han¡¯s defense.


    _Wah!_


    Zhao Han spat out a mouthful of blood as he was knocked backwards. At this moment, he had lost all sanity and fought even more crazily.


    But the wilder he became, the more flaws appeared. In Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, his opponent was just a child brandishing a stick. When Zhao Han was calm, Zhao Feng thought that he was on par with Zhao Chi, the number two inner disciple. But with him going crazy, he was now no threat at all.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it, lose¡­¡±


    After being beaten one move after another, Zhao Han was now only using pure power, there was no skill involved. Soon, Zhao Feng dodged one of Zhao Han¡¯s attacks and in the gap interval, Zhao Feng landed a kick on Zhao Han¡¯s abdomen.


    _Peng!_


    Zhao Han flew back tens of meters and landed face first.


    _I don¡¯t believe it!_ Zhao Han tried to get back up.


    ¡°Judge, why aren¡¯t you saying that he lost yet?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Ah!¡± The judge finally recovered from his shock and quickly shouted, ¡°Zhao Han, challenge failed! The challenged will now take the third spot.¡±


    Third?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s lips curled into a smile. His goal to reach the top three inner disciples was now achieved.

 40 Zhao Linlong’s Strength

    With the judge¡¯s announcement, the people broke out of their daze. This result was totally unexpected. Being a black horse, Zhao Feng continued to dominate his opponents and create miracles!


    Now he had beaten the third strongest inner disciple, Zhao Han. Zhao Feng laughed as he sat down on the third seat of the first row.


    On his right side was Zhao Chi, who was looking at him as if it was the first time he had seen him. When the outer disciples contest had ended, Zhao Chi went over to inspect Zhao Feng, but at that time, Zhao Feng was utter trash compared to him.


    After Zhao Chi beat Zhao Qin, he casually said that no one had the right to fight for the top three spots. However, right now, Zhao Feng was sitting next to him. The top three were now Zhao Linlong, Zhao Chi, and Zhao Feng.


    Next it was Zhao Chi¡¯s turn to challenge someone. Zhao Chi lazily stretched his back and landed on the stage.


    ¡°Number two Zhao Chi, who do you challenge?¡± the judge smiled.


    Being number two, who else could he challenge? Instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes turned towards Zhao Linlong.


    Now that Zhao Chi had gone onstage, there was no one blocking his vision from looking at Zhao Linlong. Zhao Linlong wore a golden robe. He had thick black eyebrows, and an aura as deep as the sea.


    Since the beginning of the tournament Zhao Linlong had kept his eyes closed. Even when Zhao Feng defeated Zhao Han, he had remained expressionless, as if nothing mattered to him.


    ¡°Zhao Linlong, give me some face. Come onstage,¡± Zhao Chi said mockingly.


    ¡°Number one, Zhao Linlong,¡± the judge warned.


    ¡°Hmm.¡± Zhao Linlong slowly rose.


    The moment he stood up, he turned into a golden blur. Instantly, he landed onstage.


    ¡°How are there so many Zhao Linlong¡¯s?¡±


    ¡°After-image! So fast!¡± the crowd exclaimed. Many spectators couldn¡¯t even see how Zhao Linlong moved.


    ¡°What kind of footwork skill is that? It¡¯s so complex.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s brow furrowed. Although he could see how Zhao Linlong moved with his left eye, he couldn¡¯t see any flaws.


    ¡°Zhao Linlong, we haven¡¯t met for half a year. It looks like your Step Shadow skill has reached the peak level. No wonder you¡¯re one of the fourth geniuses of Sun Feather City.¡± Zhao Chi was slightly impressed.


    Step Shadow was a high ranked martial art. Its fame exceeded most other high ranked martial arts due to its superiority.


    Peak level of a high ranked martial art!


    The disciples could only watch in awe. There was no second genius of the Zhao sect who could train a high ranked martial art to the peak level.


    ¡°Zhao Chi, you¡¯re the only one who can give me a fight. Today, I will suppress my cultivation to the fourth rank and spar with you,¡± Zhao Linlong said casually.


    Immediately, the other disciples expressions turned dark. There was no one apart from Zhao Chi who had the right to challenge him? Zhao Linlong¡¯s words caused many to be unhappy.


    How would the number three, number four, and number five feel?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows scrunched up, then immediately resumed normal. Ever since he had seen the shy girl attack the powerful Hyena in the Sky Cloud Forest, Zhao Feng understood something: There was always someone stronger than you.


    He was working towards the greater realm. He wanted to explore the outside world.


    ¡°Hateful! That Zhao Linlong¡­¡±


    Sitting on the sixth seat of the second row, Zhao Han¡¯s face was unwilling. Just a while ago, his cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds. His Inner Strength had reached the peak of the fifth rank, approaching the sixth rank.


    This had made him arrogant and a contender for the top inner disciple. In terms of favoritism, he had surpassed Zhao Chi.


    However, Zhao Linlong¡¯s words hit him into hell. And because he had just lost to Zhao Feng, he had no right to speak out against him.


    At this time, the battle began.


    ¡°Sky Howling Fist!¡±


    Zhao Chi¡¯s fist started to glow red. Zhao Chi¡¯s Sky Howling Fist was very similar to Zhao Feng¡¯s Angry Dragon Fist, but the ranks of the martial arts were one tier apart.


    With Zhao Chi fully utilizing Sky Howling Fist, his strength crept towards the peak of the fifth rank. Adding on his footwork, body strengthening skills and techniques, his damage scale was frightening.


    ¡°In terms of overall strength, Zhao Chi is indeed harder to fight than Zhao Han. He has almost zero flaws, and his offense is also powerful,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Zhao Han suppressed his opponents by overpowering them with Inner Strength, but his speed and defense weren¡¯t strong.


    ¡°Receive my punch!¡± Zhao Chi shouted onstage as his fist swept towards Zhao Linlong.


    _Shuah!_


    A broken after-image was left behind. The next moment, Zhao Linlong appeared smiling faintly next to Zhao Chi.


    Zhao Chi¡¯s fist didn¡¯t even touch his robe.


    What was even more frightening was that Zhao Linlong was only half a meter away from him. Zhao Chi broke out in cold sweat. At this instant, he could even smell Zhao Linlong.


    ¡°Smoking Rain Step!¡±


    Zhao Chi wasn¡¯t useless. Immediately, he used a high ranked footwork skill and started to exchange blows with Zhao Linlong.


    Immediately, the two figures interwove. Both of them used high ranked martial arts.


    The reason why Zhao Linlong said that Zhao Chi was the only one who could fight him was because Zhao Chi had learned a lot of high ranked martial arts.


    High ranked fist skill! High ranked footwork skill! High ranked body strengthening technique¡­all of these skills had been trained to a high level.


    Zhao Chi continuously attacked with these skills. Now his momentum had surpassed Zhao Linlong. Although his momentum had exceeded Zhao Linlong, Zhao Chi was still pushed back. After exchanging twenty blows, Zhao Linlong had steadily overpowered him with the cultivation of the fourth rank only.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make you lose willingly!¡± Zhao Linlong smiled faintly.


    He raised his finger and a purple azure aura spun around in circles.


    _Shua!_


    Just the thread of Inner Strength sent out a frightening aura.


    ¡°Spatial Cloud Finger!¡±


    That finger seemed to open a hole in the clouds. That was¡­


    Zhao Chi took a deep breath as he gathered all his Inner Strength to counter the finger.


    ¡°Sky Howling Leaping Thunder!¡± Zhao Chi¡¯s fist glowed fire red as it faced the finger.


    The power of this fist exceeded any skill that had been used so far in the tournament. But, although his fist seemed powerful, it seemed like it was an ant compared to the casual finger of Zhao Linlong.


    _Hooong¡ª-_


    The two moves finally clashed. Zhao Chi immediately tasted iron inside his mouth as he was knocked backwards.


    ¡°Not bad, you¡¯re able to block my peak ranked martial art.¡± A golden-robed youth reappeared with his hands behind his back.


    ¡°Peak ranked martial art? I didn¡¯t lose unjustly,¡± Zhao Chi said bitterly as he surrendered.


    Spatial Cloud Finger!


    Peak ranked martial art!


    The crowd was in shock. When did Zhao Linlong learn a peak ranked martial art?


    ¡°Hehe, Zhao Linlong has already learned the first three moves of the Spatial Cloud Finger. That was just the first one,¡± the head of the sect Zhao TIancang said proudly.


    ¡°Congratulations for taking in such a good step-son.¡± The elders came over and congratulated the head of the sect.


    Zhao Linlong was the step-son of the head of the sect! No wonder he could learn peak ranked martial arts. But the thing was that peak ranked martial arts usually needed one to reach the seventh rank of the martial path to understand them. Those that could learn peak ranked skills were usually Martial Masters!


    ¡°Zhao Chi! Challenge failed, rank not changed. Zhao Linlong, rank not changed,¡± the judge announced.


    Zhao Linlong and Zhao Chi returned to their seats. Zhao Linlong was expressionless and didn¡¯t challenge anyone. In his opinion, there was no one left to challenge.


    The first round of the challenging contest ended. Next was the second round of the challenging contest. There were a total of three chances to challenge someone per person.


    There were barely any challengers in the second round. But when it came to number sixteen, Zhao Han¡¯s turn, he immediately challenged number four Zhao Qin and won.


    He continued by challenging number two Zhao Chi and number one Zhao Linlong. The result was that he managed to tie with Zhao Chi by using his Inner Strength.


    But when he met Zhao Linlong, Zhao Han was defeated in three moves. He wasn¡¯t like Zhao Chi, who had absolute defense, so he couldn¡¯t fend off even three of Zhao Linlong¡¯s moves.


    First place Zhao Linlong¡­second place Zhao Chi¡­third place Zhao Feng¡­fourth place Zhao Han.


    They were the top four inner disciples. No one dared to challenge them.


    Out of the four, Zhao Linlong led in front by beating Zhao Chi and Zhao Han. Only Zhao Feng had not crossed hands with Zhao Linlong from the top three.


    ¡°Third place Zhao Feng, it¡¯s your turn to challenge someone,¡± the judge said.

 41 Zhao Yufei’s Attractiveness

    ¡°It¡¯s my turn again?¡± Zhao Feng sat on his chair and touched his chin. There was only Zhao Chi and Zhao Linlong in front of him.


    Although he could beat Zhao Chi, he would have to spend a bit of energy. If he challenged Zhao Linlong, everyone would know his real strength and cultivation. His cultivation had increased way too fast in the past few months and it would attract too much attention.


    Zhao Feng also wanted to leave a hand to guard against Zhao Tianjian. Furthermore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have much confidence in beating Zhao Linlong.


    ¡°I pass.¡± Zhao Feng wanted to pass even after he analyzed the benefits.


    His goal was to reach the top three and get a peak ranked martial art. Now that his goal was achieved, there was no point in fighting to the death for a higher rank.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pass caused many to be slightly stunned, but they didn¡¯t feel too weird about it. After all, with Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation, to be ranked in the top three was a massive feat already.


    ¡°I also pass.¡± Zhao Chi looked deeply at Zhao Feng.


    He had seen the battle between Zhao Han and Zhao Feng, and he knew that Zhao Feng was stronger than him.


    The top three had all passed.


    The ranks were: Number one Zhao Linlong, number two Zhao Chi, number three Zhao Feng, number four Zhao Han, number five Zhao Qin, number six Zhao Yufei, number seven Zhao Bing¡­


    The top seven were all Martial Artists.


    ¡°This is the last time anyone will have the chance to challenge someone,¡± the judge announced.


    After the second round, not many people challenged others as the ranks were almost confirmed. However, when it was number six Zhao Yufei¡¯s turn, there was a small twist.


    ¡°I want to challenge number five Zhao Qin.¡± Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes were like crystal as she smiled faintly.


    Her challenge surprised many people.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Zhao Qin nodded her head as she went onstage.


    Soon, the two beautiful girls faced off. Both Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qin were pretty. Furthermore, they were both talented. As the two headed up, many youths¡¯ heartbeat started to thump faster. It could be said that the two were the women of their dreams.


    Especially Zhao Yufei. She was younger and her prettiness shone.


    _Yi!_


    Zhao Linlong¡¯s eyes flashed brightly as he saw Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Azure Cloud Finger!¡±


    ¡°Butterfly Leaves Palm!¡±


    The two girls shouted their styles out as their perfect bodies swayed in the wind.


    Zhao Qin had always been the top girl genius. Her cultivation had almost reached the peak of the fifth rank. In terms of age, Zhao Yufei¡¯s age was lower than Zhao Qin¡¯s by two years and she had only just reached the fourth rank.


    However, as they exchanged blows, Zhao Yufei wasn¡¯t losing. Zhao Yufei¡¯s Inner Strength was like the wind, agile and fast. Zhao Feng understood that Zhao Yufei was also learning the Air Crossing Breathing Technique, but there was still a big distance between the two girls. But the complexity of Air Crossing Breathing Technique made up for the cultivation gap between the two of them.


    After exchanging twenty blows, Zhao Qin¡¯s face turned solemn as she started to fully circulate her Inner Strength. However, Zhao Yufei still easily dodged her attacks with her agility.


    Thirty moves! Forty moves!¡­


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s skill started to perfect itself as time went on. Only at the eightieth move did a change happen.


    ¡°Butterfly Flower Dance!¡± Zhao Yufei¡¯s power and speed suddenly stepped into a whole new level.


    _Pah! Pah! Pah¡­_


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s graceful body was like a butterfly that danced in the air.


    Zhao Qin was pushed back only after three moves. ¡°You hid your strength!¡± she exclaimed.


    Zhao Yufei had conserved her strength when they exchanged blows before.


    ¡°I give up!¡± Zhao Qin was soon injured after a few more moves.


    The disciples started to see Zhao Yufei in a new light. This woman was not only beautiful, her talent was also top tier.


    ¡°Good!¡± Zhao Linlong nodded his head in praise as he stared at Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Chi on his right thought, _Could Zhao Linlong be in¡­_


    Being number one, Zhao Linlong¡¯s short gaffe was seen by the crowd.


    ¡°Haha, it looks like the hero can¡¯t pass up the beautiful woman,¡± the elders of the sect laughed.


    ¡°Zhao Yufei¡¯s talent is not weaker than Zhao Linlong. The two would make a good couple,¡± the head of the sect Zhao Tiancang smiled.


    After beating Zhao Qin, Zhao Yufei was promoted to fifth. According to the rules, she could keep on challenging others.


    But as Zhao Yufei looked at the top four, she realized that all of them far exceeded her. When she met Zhao Linlong¡¯s hot eyes, she felt a bit weird.


    Zhao Linlong was cold and without expression during the tournament. But when he noticed Zhao Yufei, his coldness seemed to melt. This was the first time it had happened ¨C Yes, the feeling of his heart thumping.


    After Zhao Yufei, it was Zhao Han¡¯s turn. Zhao Han¡¯s eyes passed over Zhao Feng, Zhao Chi, and Zhao Linlong. Zhao Han didn¡¯t have any chance to reach top three.


    Zhao Feng? He had already tasted the bitter side of defeat. His strength was terrifying, maybe only Zhao Linlong could stop him.


    ¡°I pass,¡± Zhao Han said helplessly.


    If he hadn¡¯t challenged Zhao Feng before, he could still be ranked in the top three, and with him in peak condition, there was a chance of him beating Zhao Chi.


    ¡°Pass,¡± Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°I also pass,¡± Zhao Chi also said.


    ¡°The tournament has ended.¡± Zhao Linlong faintly smiled, and once again looked towards Zhao Yufei.


    He didn¡¯t know why, but every time he saw her, he felt that she was even more perfect.


    Feeling his fire-red eyes staring at her, Zhao Yufei on instinct tried to dodge.


    ¡°This year¡¯s family sparring contest has come to an end. Now, we will announce the prizes and ranks¡­¡±


    Soon, the inner disciples ranking came out:


    First: Zhao Linlong


    Second: Zhao Chi


    Third: Zhao Feng


    Fourth: Zhao Han


    Fifth: Zhao Yufei


    Sixth: Zhao Qin


    Seventh: Zhao Bing


    ********


    The top disciples were full of expectations. According to last year¡¯s ranking, the top twenty, top ten, and top three would gain extra rewards.


    ¡°Now the head of the sect will announce the rewards,¡± the judge said.


    The head of the sect!


    A thunderous sound of clapping came from the crowd. Onstage, a middle-aged man slowly stood up. He raised his hands and an overbearing pressure came from him.


    He was the head of the sect, Zhao Tiancang!


    Zhao Feng felt that the head of the sect¡¯s aura was similar to the high tier deadly beasts in the Sky Cloud Forest. He was a Martial Master of the seventh rank or higher.


    Zhao Tiancang scanned the faces of the fifty inner disciples. When it landed on Zhao Linlong, it was extremely caring and loving.


    Many knew that Zhao Linlong was his step-son.


    ¡°All those that have become inner disciples can go to the second level of the Martial Arts Library and choose a high ranked martial art. They¡¯ll also receive a three hundred year blood plant.¡± The rewards were as good as the rumours said.


    ¡°The top twenty can choose two high ranked martial arts and receive two three-hundred year blood plants. The top ten can choose two high ranked martial arts and receive one five-hundred year blood plant.¡± The head of the sect paused.


    ¡°The top three can also choose one peak and two high ranked martial arts. Also they¡¯ll receive a blood pill,¡± the head of the sect said as he smiled.


    Peak ranked martial art! Blood pill!


    The rewards of the top three far exceeded the others. Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    He was in need of peak ranked martial arts. And the blood pill could increase the cultivation of a Martial Artist.


    The fifty disciples went to retrieve their rewards under the guidance of the manager. That very day, Zhao Feng received a blood pill.


    As for the one peak ranked and two high ranked martial arts, Zhao Feng had a special token which allowed him to go Martial Arts Library and choose his skills.


    ¡°I heard that the number one person usually had some special rewards. Why isn¡¯t there any this year?¡±


    ¡°Maybe they just haven¡¯t announced it yet.¡±


    On the way back Zhao Feng heard a few discussions. He didn¡¯t bother listening to them. Instead, he just walked back home.


    ¡°Brother Feng!¡± a sweet voice called from behind. Without turning his head, Zhao Feng knew that it was Zhao Yufei.


    The two were neighbors and so they were a bit familiar with one another. After the exchange of Metal Wall Technique and Air Crossing Breathing Technique, the two became even closer.


    ¡°Yufei, your performance was pretty good.¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but think about her beating Zhao Qin.


    ¡°I¡¯m still far away from brother Feng. I¡¯m just curious as to why you didn¡¯t challenge Zhao Linlong!¡± Zhao Yufei looked curiously at him.


    She was certain that his Metal Wall Technique had reached the fourth level. His defense was easily top amongst the inner disciples. Adding on Zhao Feng¡¯s Inner Strength and Lightly Floating Ferry, he had the right to challenge Zhao Linlong.


    ¡°You overestimate me. There¡¯s still a big distance between me and Zhao Linlong,¡± Zhao Feng said humbly.


    Obviously, Zhao Yufei¡¯s estimation of his strength was close. The ages of the two were close, so they got along well.


    On the corner of the stage, a youth clothed in gold watched Zhao Yufei¡¯s and Zhao Feng¡¯s figure dimly as they walked off together.


    His eyes flashed coldly and he said to himself, ¡°That kid seems to be called Zhao Feng?¡±

 42 Peak fifth rank, Martial Arts Library

    As Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei walked back side by side, the disciples looked on in jealousy and envy. Zhao Yufei started to blush. Her eyes secretly glanced towards Zhao Feng, but found the latter was as calm as if nothing was happening, disappointing her somewhat.


    She felt that Zhao Feng was the only one who could suppress her in the sect, and this made her feel somewhat helpless.


    Returning home, Zhao Feng went out to the city to report his gains in the Sky Cloud Forest. Obviously, he didn¡¯t say that Zhao Tianjian had sent someone to kill him, or how he had met high tier deadly beasts. Zhao Yufei still broke out in cold sweat.


    Going to his room, Zhao Feng let out a long breath. ¡°Zhao Tianjian has already sent someone to kill me, so he¡¯ll be likely to keep on doing that. Therefore, I¡¯ll hide my cultivation and surprise him.¡±


    The reason why he didn¡¯t challenge Zhao Linlong was because of this. Zhao Feng sat cross-legged on the floor and he put his consciousness into the dimension inside his left eye. In the pitch black area, the faint green glow in the middle had reached 1.8 meters, which meant that his cultivation had touched the doorway of the peak fifth rank.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t thinking about this.


    _Appear!,_ Zhao Feng concentrated on his left eye.


    _Shua!_


    Immediately the green glow was replaced by a scene. In the scene there were two figures; one was the high tier Azure Eyed Hyena, while the other was the shy girl who wasn¡¯t much older than Zhao Yufei.


    Next, the Azure Eyed Hyena and the girl both leapt at each other. The girl in green seemed to meld into the air. Her body gave off a strange azure light, which was much brighter than normal chi. She casually waved her wands and the azure light formed into wind blades that instantly ripped the Azure Eyed Hyena¡¯s head into pieces.


    _I wonder where that girl is from. Probably no one would be able block one of her moves in Sun Feather City,_ Zhao Feng drew a cold breath.


    The scene was replayed again and again. Zhao Feng looked from different angles and positions to see how the girl attacked. Slowly, he began to gain some insights.


    The casual swipe of her hands contained understanding which far surpassed the Martial Artist level. Zhao Feng had already gained a small bit from just looking at her attacking. At this moment, he had duplicated the move, but his damage was very far off. But the duplication itself already reached the power of a high ranked martial art.


    This really shocked him. Wouldn¡¯t that mean if he fully duplicated the girl¡¯s moves, it would surpass peak ranked martial arts? Thinking up to there, Zhao Feng became more and more excited.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t I name this skill Mysterious Wind Palm!¡± he said to himself proudly.


    That night Zhao Feng tried to gain more insight into that move. Since this move was super high tier, Zhao Feng was not able to fully understand it in a short period of time. It was deep night before Zhao Feng felt tired. It looked like the left eye¡¯s dimension couldn¡¯t continuously help him replay the scene back and forth.


    ¡°It takes a lot of my mental energy trying to gain insights from this move,¡± Zhao Feng concluded.


    Therefore, he started to train Air Crossing Breathing Technique again.He had received a blood pill from the tournament and it could increase his cultivation. Pills were different from pure plants, as they contained a lot less impurities within them, so cultivators were able to absorb more energy and of better quality from them.


    ¡°I still have three plants over a thousand years old whose values exceed the blood pill.¡± Zhao Feng thought for a while, then decided to eat the pill.


    Soon the medicine¡¯s power started to flow from within him. The energy was very harmonious with his body. Zhao Feng immediately started circulating Air Crossing Breathing Technique to absorb the energy.


    *****************


    _The morning of the next day..._


    Zhao Feng had fully absorbed all the energy and felt his cultivation inch forward a little bit. The green glow inside his left eye had extended just past 1.8 meters.


    ¡°Peak fifth rank! The pill is indeed helpful.¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction.


    Only Zhao Linlong was on par with him in terms of cultivation. There was still some time, so Zhao Feng began to practice his Mysterious Wind Palm again.


    _Hu~_


    His body lept into the sky and his chi spun in the heart of his palm.


    _Shua!_


    A branch as thick as an arm was instantly shattered into pieces. Zhao Feng¡¯s palm wasn¡¯t very powerful, yet it contained the power of spinning and slicing.


    ¡°This move has reached the high level of a high ranked martial art!¡± Zhao Feng exclaimed happily.


    Just when Zhao Feng was fully trying to gain insights on Mysterious Wind Palm-


    ¡°Brother Feng can I come in?¡± a familiar girl¡¯s voice sounded.


    _Hm?_ Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows scrunched up.


    Outside the garden, there was a girl clothed in snow white. She was biting her lips and she didn¡¯t dare to look Zhao Feng in the eye. The girl was undoubtedly Zhao Xue.


    ¡°Come in.¡± Zhao Feng regained his composure and let her in.


    The two looked at each other. Zhao Xue seemed to dodge his eyes.


    ¡°What have you come here for?¡± Zhao Feng asked expressionlessly.


    He once had a favorable impression of her, since they were childhood friends. But ever since they entered the Zhao sect, the last bit of that favorable impression had disappeared.


    Zhoa Xue¡¯s eyes turned red as she bit her lip. ¡°I¡¯ve been muddled ever since I entered the Zhao sect. I hope that Brother Feng can remember our past days and not hate me¡­¡±


    Looking at Zhao Xue¡¯s sad face, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart started to ripple, but soon, it became as still as water again.


    ¡°Everyone has their own freedom to make their choices¡­I¡¯ve never hated you,¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly, as if he was making a casual statement.


    Sure, Zhao Feng had never hated Zhao Xue, but her actions had disappointed him.


    I¡¯ve never hated you!


    Zhao Xue¡¯s heart shook as she looked at the handsome youth ¡°Has brother Feng never loved me¡­even back at Green Leaf Village?¡± Zhao Feng was a bit doubtful after she said this.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t even fourteen years old. Half a year ago, he was only thirteen. His heart was pure and didn¡¯t react to Zhao Xue¡¯s love back then.


    Now, Zhao Feng was fourteen and straining along the Martial Path, so he was a bit late on understanding the relationship between boys and girls.


    Looking at Zhao Feng¡¯s reaction, Zhao Xue¡¯s heart became cold. She finally knew that Zhao Feng had never loved her. At most, it was a favorable impression during their childhood.


    ¡°Brother Feng!¡± Outside the garden came another clear voice.


    Zhao Yufei walked happily into Zhao Feng¡¯s garden. The two were neighbors and they were quite familiar with each other, therefore Zhao Yufei came in without knocking. Quickly, she felt that the atmosphere was a bit different.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Xue both stood quietly, and the latter was crying softly.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Zhao Feng turned curiously towards Zhao Yufei.


    At this moment two beautiful girls stood in this small garden. Zhao Xue¡¯s skin was as smooth as water and her face was extremely pretty. However, compared to Zhao Yufei¡¯s angelic aura, she seemed extremely dim¡­


    In terms of talent, aura, and body, Zhao Xue was far inferior to Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Brother Feng, haven¡¯t you been to the Martial Arts Library to get your skills? You can get a peak ranked martial art since you ranked top three,¡± Zhao Yufei said, slightly confused.


    She had just gone to the Martial Arts Library to choose her skills. The top ten could choose two high ranked martial arts. The top three could choose one peak ranked and two high ranked martial arts.


    ¡°Haha, I almost forgot,¡± Zhao Feng gently smiled.


    Looking at Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei smiling together, Zhao Xue felt sad and regretful. She regretted her decision in choosing Zhao Yijian¡­


    Soon, Zhao Feng arrived at the Martial Arts Library. The elder guarding the library was a white bearded old man that looked familiar.


    ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± The old man¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Zhao Feng immediately recognized him as well. ¡°This junior sees elder.¡±


    This old man was one of the two main judges who had supported Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I¡¯m called Zhao Yusong. You can call me elder Zhao,¡± the judge said gently.


    ¡°Yes, elder Zhao.¡±


    ¡°Come with me.¡± Zhao Yusong took Zhao Feng to the second level.


    There were over two hundred martial arts in the second level. Most were high ranked, while a low number of them were peak ranked. Peak ranked martial arts were very precious to the Zhao sect.


    Zhao Feng scanned around and was surprised ¡°Zhao elder, why is there only a token instead of the martial art?¡±


    The second level of the Martial Arts Library didn¡¯t hold martial arts. Instead, there was a jade token which had the skill¡¯s name and short summaries.


    ¡°Hehe, martial arts of the high rank or higher are very precious. We can¡¯t put the real copy here. When you choose the skill, I¡¯ll go get the book for you,¡± Zhao Yusong explained.


    Zhao Feng was disappointed. The sect was strict with high ranked martial arts which meant he couldn¡¯t ¡®steal¡¯ any. But being able to choose one peak and two high ranked martial arts was still acceptable. He went around the second level and read all the summaries.


    ¡°What, haven¡¯t you found a skill you want yet?¡± Zhao Yusong asked curiously.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twirled and laughed, ¡° Elder Zhao¡­since you¡¯re the elder guarding the Martial Arts Library, why don¡¯t you recommend some of the best skills for me.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, don¡¯t you know that this goes against the sect¡¯s rules?¡± Zhao Yusong¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    Although he said that, Zhao Yusong still helped. He walked into the second level and slowly took a few jade tokens out¡­

 43 Star Finger

    Seeing the elder¡¯s movement, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes shone. The second floor of the Martial Arts Library was different from the first floor.


    There was no real copies of the skills here, instead, they were replaced by jade tokens. There weren¡¯t that many words on the jade tokens that summarized the martial art¡¯s ability, and they weren¡¯t very specific. This meant that it was harder to discern which skills were strong or weak.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t steal one hundred skills like last time and then slowly go over them.


    Being the one guarding the Martial Arts Library, Elder Zhao obviously knew all of the skills well. What was more important was that Elder Zhao had seen Feng¡¯s battles and understood what he was lacking.


    ¡°There¡¯s three peak ranked martial arts here which are compatible with you. They are: Mesmerizing Wind Fist, Star Finger, and Sky Striking Leg.¡± Elder Zhao took three jade tokens out.


    All of them were offensive skills? Zhao Feng was slightly curious as he heard the names.


    ¡°Your offensive skills are too low ranked, so their potential is limited. But you¡¯ve trained Metal Wall Technique as a defensive skill, which is not far away from a peak ranked martial art. If you ever find the Holy rank Silver Wall Technique, it¡¯d be perfect,¡± the elder explained.


    No wonder he was a Martial Master!


    Zhao Feng approved of what the elder said. His defense was already fine, so all he needed was offensive skills.


    ¡°These three peak ranked skills are all different: Mesmerizing Wind Fist has the attributes of wind and it uses skill to break through power. When used with a high tier movement skill, the damage will double. Star Finger condenses one¡¯s chi into a single point and it can attack everything within a certain range. Sky Striking Leg can create whirlwinds, attacking a large amount of people and it is very effective against human wave tactics¡­¡± Elder Zhao explained the three skills in simple terms.


    Zhao Feng felt moved by all three skills. He could exert a lot of power from training in any of these three skills.


    ¡°Which of these three is the most powerful?¡± Zhao Feng directly asked. Although they were all peak ranked, there were still differences between them.


    ¡°Hehe, out of these three skills, the Star Finger is the strongest, approaching even Holy martial arts. It¡¯s even better than Zhao Linlong¡¯s Spatial Cloud Finger, but the only problem is that it¡¯s very hard to learn this skill, and there¡¯s a certain amount of danger involved,¡± Elder Zhao smiled.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll choose that.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hesitate at all.


    He had seen Zhao Linlong¡¯s Spatial Cloud Finger and it was indeed powerful. And this Star Finger skill was even stronger than the Spatial Cloud Finger. After confirming that he wanted to choose the skill, Elder Zhao went and retrieved the copy of Star Finger.


    Zhao Feng was slightly excited as he received the old book. Soon, the contents of Star Finger went into Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. Star Finger was broken into six grades, and the minimum requirement was the fourth rank of the Martial Path. This finger skill condensed one¡¯s chi to the utmost. When it reached the low level, it could shoot straight through a two inch thick metal block.


    Even some body strengthening techniques would be useless facing this skill. Furthermore, this skill only cared about power, nothing else.


    ¡°Hahaha, this is just what I wanted.¡± Zhao Feng was extremely pleased.


    ¡°Star Finger has a huge advantage. Even if you haven¡¯t reached the Seventh rank, but have reached the fourth grade, you can attack through the air.¡± Elder Zhao couldn¡¯t stop praising this skill.


    Attack through the air?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart rippled. Everyone knew that only when a cultivator reached the seventh rank could their Inner Strength leave the body and attack through the air.


    This meant that they didn¡¯t need to fight close combat, and instead they could attack through the air from a distance. This was the difference between the sixth and seventh rank. And the peak ranked skill Star Finger could attack through the air before one even reached the seventh rank!


    ¡°This finger skill is two to three times harder to train then a normal peak rank martial skill. Some people have considered it to be a half Holy rank Skill. I also trained this once, but I was stuck on the third grade for a long time and because it was just too hard to reach the fourth grade, I gave up and started to train another skill.¡± Elder Zhao gave Zhao Feng a complicated but expectant expression.


    ¡°Why is Elder Zhao so confident in me?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Because your understanding of martial arts is very deep. You¡¯ve already trained core and middle ranked martial arts to perfection. You¡¯ve even trained Lightly Floating Ferry to a high degree,¡± Elder Zhao praised.


    Zhao Feng immediately understood that Elder Zhao knew his understanding was very high and that he might be able to train Star Finger.


    ¡°Let me warn you,¡± the elder¡¯s expression turned solemn.


    ¡°Elder, please speak.¡±


    Elder Zhao¡¯s eyes turned sharp ¡°You¡¯ll only have a chance to fight Zhao Linlong if you learn Star Finger, and there¡¯s no certainty of winning.¡±


    Why?


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t understand, wasn¡¯t Star Finger better than Spatial Cloud Finger?


    ¡°This is because¡­¡±


    Elder Zhao let out a long sigh. ¡°Since Zhao Linlong became the top disciple and being the head of the sect¡¯s step son, he not only received an extra thousand blood plant, he was also allowed into the third floor of the Martial Arts Library.¡±


    The third floor of the library? The mysterious third floor?


    Zhao Feng was shocked. Everyone knew that the second floor was mainly full of high ranked skills, and a few peak ranked skills. As for the third floor, it was only a legend.


    ¡°Zhao Linlong has received a thousand year blood plant and he has a high chance to break through to the sixth rank of the Martial Path in the next few months and become the head of the four geniuses. The higher-ups of the sect are going to support him in whatever way they can.¡± Speaking up to here, Elder Zhao let out a sigh as he thought about Zhao Feng.


    After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s potential wasn¡¯t any weaker than Zhao Linlong¡¯s. Regretfully, he was a side branch disciple, while Zhao Linlong was of the direct branch and the stepson of the head of the sect.


    Even if Zhao Feng had beaten Zhao Linlong that day, his treatment would be different.


    ¡°Elder Zhao, can you tell me what¡¯s on the third floor? Could it be the legendary Holy ranked martial arts?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing rate increased.


    Holy ranked martial arts were a legend; one could reach the Holy Martial Path by cultivating them.


    ¡°Haha, do you think a small city like Sun Feather City could have a full copy of a Holy martial art?¡± Elder Zhao shook his head but continued. ¡°But Zhao Linlong does indeed have the chance to gain enlightenment from broken Holy martial arts.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a long sigh. Soon, Zhao Feng gave the real copy of Star Finger back to Elder Zhao.


    ¡°You don¡¯t want to copy it?¡± the elder asked curiously.


    ¡°I¡¯ve remembered it.¡± Zhao Feng decided not to hide this.


    Never Forgetting wasn¡¯t that much of a big deal. Elder Zhao was surprised, but the happiness in his eyes grew deeper; it looked like Zhao Feng was indeed a genius.


    Zhao Feng was still able to choose two high ranked martial arts after choosing the peak ranked skill. Elder Zhao recommended a movement skill named Lightly Micro Step.


    ¡°This skill is rumored to have come from the same origins as Lightly Floating Ferry and it is almost a high ranked martial art,¡± he explained.


    One peak ranked finger skill and one high ranked movement skill.


    Zhao Feng could still choose one more skill. This time, he chose Withering Wood Technique.


    Withering Wood Technique was similar to Hiding Air Technique, it could conceal one¡¯s aura and smell. According to the description, if Withering Wood Technique was trained to the high level, the cultivator could enter a ¡®fake death¡¯ state and escape the enemy¡¯s perception.


    ¡°You have good eyesight, this skill has an extremely good effect,¡± Elder Zhao smiled.


    After choosing his skills, Zhao Feng thanked the elder and left.


    _Deng! Deng! Deng¡­_


    Right at this moment, steps sounded outside the library.


    A total of three people stepped onto the second level. The first was a white-robed old man, the second a peaceful middle aged man and the last, a youth in gold. The last person was Zhao Linlong!


    Zhao Feng immediately bowed towards the first two. ¡°This junior sees elder and head of the sect.¡±


    Then he glanced at at the youth clothed in gold and said smilingly, ¡°Big brother Linglong.¡±


    ¡°En,¡± the head of the sect and the elder nodded their heads.


    But Zhao Linlong only faintly looked at him and glanced away without saying a word. This made Zhao Feng extremely awkward and irritated.


    After all, Zhao Feng was third in the inner disciples, and although Zhao Linlong was first, he couldn¡¯t disregard him.


    ¡°The head of the sect and the elder is here, could it be¡­¡± Zhao Feng guessed.


    If they were to enter the second floor, only one of them was needed and not both. This meant that the two were sending Zhao Linlong to the third floor. It looks like what Elder Zhao said was true!


    Zhao Feng started to get angry, but he soon recovered as he thought about the dimension in his left eye.


    Zhao Feng headed straight home thereafter.


    Inside the room, he closed his eyes and the three skills Star Finger, Lightly Micro Step, and Withering Wood Technique popped up inside his mind. Zhao Feng first tried to learn Lightly Micro Step and found that the style of it was similar to Lightly Floating Ferry.


    Half an hour later, he had reached the beginning level!


    ******************


    _Night..._


    Zhao Feng surprisingly found that when he used Air Crossing Breathing Technique with Lightly Micro Step, it was even faster.


    For the next few days, he concentrated on the new skills.


    Lightly Micro Step and Withering Wood Technique were both high ranked martial arts and Zhao Feng found them very easy to learn. It wasn¡¯t just because of the increase of enlightenment he got from his left eye, it was also because Lightly Floating Ferry and Hiding Air Technique set a very solid foundation for them both.


    Using only ten days, Zhao Feng trained the two skills to the high level.


    Next he was going to train the most important skill, Star Finger! This finger skill was a peak ranked martial art which was hard to cultivate. Even Elder Zhao didn¡¯t manage to train all of it.

 44 Invitation of the Summit, Part One

    Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng began trying to gain insights from Star Finger.


    Zhao Feng understood something after a few hours - this skill was indeed far harder than high ranked martial arts. In terms of difficulty, it could only be compared with Lightly Floating Ferry. But Star Finger wasn¡¯t just hard, it also had a certain amount of danger involved. When one condensed their Inner Strength, the slightest mistake could result in the cultivator being disabled.


    This meant that one needed to be extremely careful and not rush, so the improvement speed would be slow. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye increased his mental energy, reaction speed, analytical ability, and enlightenment, which meant that it was hard to go wrong.


    Star Finger¡¯s danger was minimized. Using two days time, Zhao Feng¡¯s Star Finger barely managed to reach the first grade. The first grade of the Star Finger condensed the inner strength into one line, and it had strong penetrating power. After reaching the first grade without even using Inner Strength, Zhao Feng could blast through stone with just a casual finger.


    He continued to train Star Finger. The second grade was much harder than the first grade, it needed the cultivator to condense the strength into a point instead of a line, which meant it had more explosive power.


    Zhao Feng used another seven days just to reach the second grade. But the effect was very obvious, the damage was on par with high level high ranked skills. This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s offense could dominate all of the Zhao sect disciples, excluding Zhao Linlong. After reaching the second grade, Zhao Feng found that every step forward was extremely slow.


    _*****************_


    _Half a month later..._


    Zhao Feng finally managed to reach the peak of the second grade of Star Finger. Zhao Feng finally met a bottleneck when he tried to break through to the third grade. It was obvious that it wouldn¡¯t be reached within a short amount of time.


    ¡°This skill is indeed hard to train. I can¡¯t wait until I reach the fourth grade.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expectations grew larger and larger.


    Star Finger only needed to reach the fourth grade to attack through the air, which was the advantage that Martial Masters held.


    Back then, Elder Zhao had also trained this skill and he had used over a year just to get it to the second grade.


    Zhao Feng had only used twenty-something days to reach the peak of the second grade.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t the hardest skill yet. The move from the girl that day is far deeper and more complex¡­¡± Zhao Feng remembered the Mysterious Wind Palm in his left eye¡¯s dimension.


    Obviously, Zhao Feng knew that he could only take one step at a time. Martial arts needed to be trained steadily, one couldn¡¯t instantly reach the skies.


    ************************


    Soon, Zhao Feng¡¯s concentration returned to his cultivation and Inner Strength. When he was inside the cave, Zhao Feng¡¯s body had absorbed an enormous amount of medicine.


    At that time, the medicine hadn¡¯t been fully absorbed, there was still a small amount left within the body. After returning, Zhao Feng started to absorb the last bits by practising martial arts and cultivating.


    ***********************


    In the blink of an eye, another fifteen days passed.


    The remnants of the medicine had been absorbed. His cultivation had reached the peak fifth rank, only half a step away from the sixth rank. As for his Inner Strength, it was on par with the sixth rank. If Zhao Feng wanted to break through to the sixth rank, there wouldn¡¯t be any bottlenecks present, he didn¡¯t even need to use the three thousand year old plants.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be able to reach the sixth rank in the next few days.¡± Zhao Feng understood the changes in his body very well.


    Actually, most cultivators would have this feeling when they were about to break through. Therefore instead of cultivating, he decided to rest his body.


    Perfectly timed, Zhao Yufei, his neighbor, came to find Zhao Feng to spar with him.


    One and a half months had passed by since the martial arts contest. At this moment, Zhao Yufei¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak fourth rank, she could reach the fifth at any moment.


    ¡°Brother Feng I want to see your new skills,¡± Zhao Yufei smiled. Her cheeks were faintly red and with her azure dress, she looked like a goddess.


    ¡°Sure!¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head, he also wanted to try out his skills.


    Inside the garden, their two figures engaged and withdrew. First up was their movement skills.


    Zhao Feng used Lightly Micro Step and his body became mysterious and blurry. When Lightly Micro Step was pushed to the extreme, there would be multiple after images of him stacked on top of one another.


    Speed was Zhao Yufei¡¯s specialty, but she was completely suppressed when facing Zhao Feng. Although both the skills were high ranked and reached the high level, the difference was very obvious.


    Zhao Yufei was extremely puzzled, because Zhao Feng had suppressed his cultivation to a level that was even lower than hers. And in terms of Inner Strength, both had trained Air Crossing Breathing Technique.


    ¡°Yufei, your body¡¯s attributes aren¡¯t as good as mine and I also have Lightly Floating Ferry as foundation, so I have the upper hand in speed,¡± Zhao Feng told her half-truthfully.


    The truth was that Lightly Floating Ferry and Lightly Micro Step were very similar. When used together, he was able to raise the skills to the peak rank.


    Next, they compared their offensive skills.


    Zhao Feng restrained his Star Finger to the beginning of the second grade, when his finger released a line of pure energy that could penetrate anything in its way. Zhao Yufei was almost injured after one move.


    ¡°Brother Feng¡¯s skill is probably a peak ranked skill,¡± Zhao Yufei was extremely envious.


    Peak ranked martial arts were very precious, of all the Zhao sect disciples, only Zhao Linlong, Zhao Chi and Zhao Feng had the chance to learn them.


    ¡°You¡¯re right, this is indeed a peak ranked martial art.¡± Zhao Feng was extremely pleased with Star Finger.


    Right at the moment when the two were discussing their skills, a voice broke in.


    ¡°Haha, little sister Yufei, I was going to spar with you, but you weren¡¯t home. So this is where you were?¡±


    A young man¡¯s voice sounded, it was casual and calm. On the garden wall now stood a youth in gold robes around seventeen-some years of age, looking down at Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Linlong!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows drew together. This was his home and Zhao Linlong came in without his permission. Furthermore, he was looking down on them, literally and metaphorically, by standing on top of the wall.


    ¡°Big brother Linlong,¡± Zhao Yufei smiled and observed the usual etiquette. After all, he was the top inner disciple and was the head of the sect¡¯s step son. ¡°Brother Linlong came again to spar with me?¡±


    Zhao Yufei was expressionless. Zhao Linlong had come to visit her countless times under the name of sparring. Every time she saw him, Zhao Yufei could feel the fire inside Zhao Linlong¡¯s eyes, which made her feel uneasy.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I hope sister Yufei won¡¯t reject me.¡± Zhao Linlong¡¯s words contained absolute confidence.


    He didn¡¯t step into the garden, only standing on the wall. From the moment he came in, he hadn¡¯t even looked at Zhao Feng once.


    ¡°Thanks for your care, but brother Feng has just sparred with me,¡± Zhao Yufei smiled as she rejected him.


    To spar with the genius of the Zhao sect was the dream of countless female disciples of the sect.


    But Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t like Zhao Linlong at all. Zhao Linlong had an aura of loneliness and superiority, as if it was the other person¡¯s pleasure to be allowed to love him.


    This was the complete opposite of Zhao Feng, who like her came from a branch sect and their sparring and communication came naturally. There wasn¡¯t any pressure at all.


    ¡°Him?¡± Zhao Linlong ¡®finally¡¯ realized that Zhao Feng existed.


    After glancing at Zhao Feng once, Zhao Linlong smiled, but didn¡¯t greet him. It was obvious that he was disdainful of him.


    ¡°That¡¯s fine. Today I came to find sister Yufei for one other thing.¡± Zhao Linlong shrugged his shoulders.


    ¡°Please explain.¡±


    ¡°This thing¡­I want to speak to Yufei privately.¡± Zhao Linlong glanced casually at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Brother Feng, I¡¯ll leave first,¡± Zhao Yufei said apologetically.


    The two walked out side by side.


    ¡°Could it be that Zhao Linlong is chasing after Yufei¡­?¡± Zhao Feng finally realized something.


    **********************


    _On the other side of the wall..._


    Zhao Linlong took Zhao Yufei to a slightly remote area.


    ¡°Yufei, in half a month¡¯s time, the Sun Feather City¡¯s yearly Genius Summit will begin. The host is the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City, Qiu Mengyu. At that time, all of the clans, sect, factions, and families¡¯ geniuses will be invited.¡± Zhao Linlong paused.


    Genius Summit! Most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City?


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eye¡¯s flashed, surprised and expectant. Zhao Yufei had heard of the Genius Summit. This was an event for all the geniuses of Sun Feather City to come and spar with one another.


    The four great geniuses of Sun Feather City would also be decided there.


    ¡°This is the most important event for the youths of Sun Feather City! Being the top Zhao disciple, I can recommend five people to join.¡± Zhao Linlong¡¯s lips curled into a smile.


    ¡°Oh? Genius Summit? I really want to experience it.¡± Zhao Yufei was very interested in joining. ¡°Oh yes, who are you recommending?¡± Zhao Yufei asked urgently.


    ¡°There¡¯s Zhao Chi, Zhao Han, Zhao Qin, Zhao Ling¡­¡± Zhao Linlong didn¡¯t hide anything.


    ¡°Wait! Why isn¡¯t brother Zhao Feng coming? He came in third!¡± Zhao Yufei interjected.


    ¡°Zhao Feng?¡± Zhao Linlong said casually, ¡°He¡¯s just a branch disciple and he didn¡¯t even have the courage to challenge me. There¡¯s no point in taking someone like that to the Genius Summit.¡±


    ¡°But brother Feng¡¯s strength is still there¡­¡± Zhao Yufei felt that this was unfair.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s ok, Yufei. I feel that I¡¯ll be able to reach the sixth rank soon and I¡¯ll become the head of the four great geniuses. Therefore, it doesn¡¯t matter who I choose, the point is that you¡¯ll be there with me, to witness my glory¡­¡± Speaking up this point, Zhao Linlong¡¯s eyes turned hot and his hand couldn¡¯t help but reach towards Zhao Yufei¡¯s shoulders.


    ¡°Zhao Linlong! Please behave yourself!¡± Zhao Yufei¡¯s face turned cold as she blocked Zhao Linlong¡¯s hand.


    ¡°I have never forced anyone into something they don¡¯t want. But Yufei, you¡¯ve got to believe me that no one will stop me from doing anything to the woman I love. And unless you want to turn old by yourself¡­¡±

 45 Invitation of the Summit, Part Two

    _Inside the garden..._


    Zhao Feng soon recovered after he watched the two of them walk out. He wanted to reach the pinnacle of martial arts and explore the outside world. A small city like Sun Feather City wouldn¡¯t be able to chain him.


    Zhao Feng only focused on cultivating from then on, training finger skills and movement skills, then inner strength skills and on to body strengthening techniques. He didn¡¯t know that the younger generation¡¯s geniuses had received an invitation to attend the genius summit. The invitation came from the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City, so all the youths were ready to show off their skills.


    ****************************


    _Later that night..._


    Zhao Chi, Zhao Han, Zhao Qin, Zhao Ling all received their invites. Not everyone was able to receive invitations. Apparently, those that could be selected had to be at least at the fourth rank.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know anything about this. Zhao Yufei was pacing around in her house, wondering if she should tell him the news.


    ******************************


    _The third day after the invitations were sent out..._


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. His body suddenly gave off an unrestrained aura.


    _Hu~_


    The force swept past everything in view, rattling the windows and blowing the chairs away. The youth¡¯s eyes snapped open and two arcs of lightning seemed to flash through them.


    ¡°My Inner Strength has reached the sixth rank.¡± Excitement and happiness flashed in his eyes, but instantly he circulated Withering Wood Technique and suppressed it to the fifth rank.


    The reason why his Inner Strength reached the sixth rank so quickly was because of the cave. Even Metal Wall Technique was now only half a step away from the fifth level.


    Once Metal Wall Technique reached the fifth rank, the cultivator not only had a body of steel, they could also shatter weapons with just their body. It also meant that those weaker than Zhao Feng would harm themselves from the recoil. At this moment, his Metal Wall Technique was infinitely close to the fifth level and his cultivation was almost at the sixth.


    ¡°My cultivation level and Metal Wall Technique will break through in the next two days or so.¡± Zhao Feng was full of expectation.


    The sixth rank of the Martial Path and the fifth level of Metal Wall Technique. Zhao Feng had confidence that he could beat any disciple within the Zhao sect if he fought any of them.


    *******************************


    _On the same day, inside an old but glorious garden within the Zhao sect..._


    ¡°Sixth rank of the Martial Path¡­faster than I expected.¡± Zhao Linlong was clothed in his usual gold robe as he stood up and a powerful aura surged around him.


    _Hu!_


    He released a dominating aura and everything within a few meters radius was ripped into shreds.


    ¡°Not bad, you¡¯re only eighteen years old and you¡¯ve reached the sixth rank. This breaks Sun Feather¡¯s City¡¯s record!¡± The head of the sect, Zhao Tiancang, looked approvingly at him.


    ¡°If I didn¡¯t have a thousand year blood plant and didn¡¯t have stepfather performing the Inner Strength Vein Opener technique, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to reach the sixth rank so quickly,¡± Zhao Linlong acknowledged humbly.


    Although he had reached the sixth rank, he still was small and tiny compared to his stepfather. The difference between the sixth and seventh rank was massive, just like the third and fourth ranks. Only one in ten cultivators progressed to the fourth rank. And out of the sixth ranked cultivators, there was only one in a hundred of them that progressed to the seventh rank.


    ¡°Next, you need to concentrate on martial arts. The Genius Summit is close, you¡¯d better earn some face for the Zhao sect,¡± Zhao Tiancang said, smiling.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, stepfather, no one can stop me apart from Xin Wuheng. And according to the rumors, Xin Wuheng is only at the peak fifth rank. I have at least sixty percent a chance of beating him,¡± Zhao Linlong said confidently.


    **************


    Time passed quickly.


    The days until the Genius Summit crept closer and closer. Sun Feather City became busier and busier as the summit approached.


    Some came just to see the most beautiful girl¡¯s figure.


    At this time, the information that Zhao Linlong had reached the sixth rank spread like wildfire throughout Sun Feather City. This obviously shocked countless youngsters and caused waves in the three major powers.


    Sixth rank of the Martial Path!


    For those youngsters, this was an incredible feat. There was no one comparable with Zhao Linlong in Sun Feather City. However, no one knew that Zhao Linlong was not the only one who had reached the sixth rank.


    ******************


    _In a garden of the Zhao sect..._


    A youth started to walk on air, his after-images blurred throughout the area.


    _Teng!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body landed on the ground as lightly as a leaf. If one looked closely, they would realize that Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was even straighter now. His body was much bigger than that of an average adult, even though he was only fourteen years old.


    His cultivation and Metal Wall Technique had both broken through seven days ago. At that time, he was completely confident that no one would be his opponent in Sun Feather City.


    He had been trying to gain insights from Star Finger and Lightly Micro Step the past few days. Lightly Micro Step had reached the peak level.


    Now, Zhao Feng concentrated on Star Finger. His Star Finger had finally been trained to the third grade.


    _Hu Qi¡ª¨C_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s second finger left an after-image in the air.


    ¡°He!¡±


    Zhao Feng condensed his chi into one point and the air around it seemed to tremble.


    _Shua~_


    In the dark night, the star formed from his Inner Strength didn¡¯t dissipate immediately. Instead, it left a mark in the sky, leaving a beautiful arc behind.


    This move was the killing move of Star Finger, One Point Star Finger.


    The power of One Point Star Finger had reached an extreme level. Once it was used perfectly, he could defeat anyone of the same rank, and this skill also suppressed body strengthening techniques. Zhao Feng believed that not many people under the seventh rank were able to block this move.


    But One Point Star Finger also had disadvantages.


    The first was the completion rate. There was only a twenty to thirty percent chance of being able to use One Point Star Finger successfully since he had only reached the third grade.


    The second was the danger involved. If he failed, his capillaries could rupture. Back then, Elder Zhao¡¯s Star Finger had only reached the third grade because of this danger.


    ¡°If I¡¯m to use my left eye, I¡¯ll have a forty to fifty percent chance of being able to successfully use it and the chance of failing and injuring my finger is only ten percent,¡± Zhao Feng analyzed.


    Obviously, as his grade increased, the success rate would also increase.


    Most people would have a forty to fifty percent chance when they reached the peak of the third grade. There was a seventy to eighty percent chance at the fourth grade. And at the fifth grade, there was a one hundred percent success rate. As for the sixth grade or higher, the damage was not limited to One Point Star Finger. If one didn¡¯t have a Holy martial art, they were done for¡­


    But it was still too far away for Zhao Feng. He was really anticipating the fourth grade.


    ¡°Young master Zhao Feng, you¡¯ve received an invite,¡± a servant came from outside and said respectfully.


    Zhao Feng felt weird and saw the words on the azure paper: _Genius Summit_.


    Genius Summit? Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know anything about this Summit.


    The bottom of the letter had a few small words.


    Organizer: Qiu Mengyu.


    Zhao Feng felt that this name was familiar.


    ¡°Who¡¯s this Qiu Mengyu?¡± Zhao Feng asked on impulse.


    ¡°Young master Zhao Feng, Qiu Mengyu is the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City and she is also one of the four great geniuses.¡± The servant tried to remain expressionless.


    Qiu Mengyu, the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City. Someone didn¡¯t even know her?


    _Sou!_


    As soon as the servant left, a faint purple figure floated into the garden.


    ¡°Brother Feng, did you just get the invite from the summit?¡± The dimples on Zhao Yufei cheeks were alluring.


    ¡°What is this Genius Summit?¡± Zhao Feng still didn¡¯t know what it was.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know what the Genius Summit is? I even¡­¡± Zhao Yufei¡¯s mouth was wide open as she stood there shocked.


    She was also a bit angry. She had gone to the Qiu family and requested another invitation just for him!


    ¡°Sister Yufei, what is the Genius Summit?¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t restrain himself from asking again.


    He didn¡¯t know how the invitations were arranged. Originally, Zhao Linlong had five recommendations, but he didn¡¯t give one to Zhao Feng. Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t tell Zhao Feng about this. Instead, she went directly to the Qiu family and procured Zhao Feng a new invitation.


    ¡°Hmph, if you don¡¯t know, then don¡¯t worry about it,¡± Zhao Yufei said, and left Zhao Feng¡¯s garden.


    _Hm?_


    Zhao Feng felt weird since Zhao Yufei seemed to be angry. This was the first time that he¡¯d seen her angry.


    ¡°Genius summit? I¡¯ll go and check it out then. I wonder if the most beautiful girl is even prettier than Zhao Yufei?¡± Zhao Feng finally felt interested.


    He opened the letter and on it was written the place and time.


    ¡°What!? Not good!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed, because the starting time was tonight!


    At this time, the sun had already gone down. There was only half an hour left!


    ¡°Wait! Yufei, wait for me¡­!¡± Zhao Feng screamed as he started to chase after her.

 46 The Most Beautiful Girl of Sun Feather City

    Within moments, Zhao Feng had caught up to Yufei.


    But Zhao Yufei still seemed to be angry since she didn¡¯t reply to any of his questions. All she did was go towards their destination, but her crystal eyes would still secretly glance at the youth beside her.


    Zhao Feng finally felt that she had calmed down, so he started to ask about the Genius Summit again.


    ¡°The Genius Summit is a yearly event and all the talented youths get an invitation...¡± Zhao Yufei explained the situation.


    It was an event where the youths sparred one another and chose the four great geniuses of Sun Feather City.


    Soon, the two arrived at the main gate of the Zhao sect. At the gate stood a few people, including Zhao Linlong, Zhao Chi, and Zhao Han.


    ¡°Sister Yufei, we¡¯re just waiting for you¡­¡± Zhao Linlong smiled and released his aura.


    The aura of the sixth rank made the other disciples nearby tremble in fear. Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei walked towards the others.


    Apart from the top five inner disciples, Zhao Qin and Zhao Ling were also present.


    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Seeing Zhao Feng here, Zhao Linlong furrowed his brow.


    ¡°Why? Does brother Linlong not welcome me?¡± Zhao Feng was slightly curious.


    Why couldn¡¯t he come? It should be normal for him to attend the Genius Summit since he was the third strongest.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Zhao Linlong hid the mockery in his eyes and he didn¡¯t pay Zhao Feng any more attention. Zhao Feng once again had the feeling of being disregarded.


    The few disciples that were present such as Zhao Chi and Zhao Qin somewhat knew the reason. There was only a certain number of spots for the Genius Summit, and Zhao Linlong had not given one of them to Zhao Feng.


    According to the rules, if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have an invitation, he wouldn¡¯t be able to enter.


    _Zhao Linlong wants to see him lose face¡­_ , Zhao Chi and Zhao Han had sympathy in their eyes.


    Zhao Feng felt the atmosphere was a bit tense and the way they looked at him was weird.


    ¡°Ok, let¡¯s go!¡± Zhao Linlong gave the order.


    ¡°The destination is the Yanbo Lake near the Qiu family¡¯s place.¡± Zhao Yufei spun around and warned Zhao Feng as if he would get lost.


    **********************


    Soon, a small lake appeared.


    On one side of the lake, there was a mountain one thousand meters high. The lake also circled half the mountain. The meeting point was up at the summit of the mountain.


    The small group of them used their movement skills and started to run up the mountain.


    On the top of the mountain, there were the figures of a few Qiu family disciples. Since the organizer was Qiu Mengyu, this place was obviously also their territory.


    ¡°Can you all please show your invitations?¡± Seven to eight disciples of the Qiu family stood in a line.


    These young men were not normal people, they were all talented Qiu family disciples. All of them had reached the fifth rank or higher, and they were all aged twenty to thirty.


    The youths all took out their invites and gave them up. Zhao Linlong led the Zhao sect disciples into the checkpoint.


    First, was Zhoa Linlong. Then, Zhao Chi, Zhao Han¡­


    Finally, only Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei were left. At this moment, Zhao Linlong¡¯s lips curled into a smile as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This is my invitation.¡± Zhao Feng took out the letter.


    ¡°Yep, that¡¯s correct.¡± The cultivator nodded his head and let Zhao Feng in.


    This scene made Zhao Linlong¡¯s smile freeze. Zhao Chi and Zhao Han were both surprised.


    _What the heck? How did Zhao Feng get an invitation?_


    Zhao Feng saw their reactions. He instinctively turned his eyes to look at Zhao Yufei, who dodged his eyes and hurriedly gave up her invitation.


    The group of seven successfully entered the place. Zhao Feng was curious as he felt that his invitation was different from the others.


    Zhao Yufei smiled, ¡°If you want to know the answer, you have to come in first in the Genius Summit¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head and didn¡¯t think about it any more. This scene made Zhao Linlong look coldly at Zhao Feng, as if he was warning him. Zhao Feng felt the warning and enmity, but he didn¡¯t put it in his heart. He didn¡¯t fear Zhao Linlong at all with his current strength.


    The Zhao sect disciples soon entered a pavilion where servants would pour tea for them. The pavilion they were in was close to the center of the open area.


    There were three pavilions equally close to the center - the Qiu, Xin, and Zhao families, representing the largest powers in Sun Feather City.


    Zhao Feng looked at the pavilion on his left and he found that Xin Tong and Xin Fei were also there. Xin Fei had already reached the peak fourth rank and Xin Tong had just reached the fifth.


    Obviously, their cultivating speed was slower than Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei. Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei¡¯s cultivation levels had both reached the fifth rank. At least, that¡¯s what it looked like, and they were the youngest fighters present.


    ¡°The top genius of the Xin family is called Xin Wuheng, and he is the head of the four great geniuses. At last year¡¯s summit, the other three great geniuses weren¡¯t even able to block ten of his moves,¡± Zhao Qin said quietly.


    Following her eyes, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes locked onto an azure-clothed youth who had his eyes closed. The blue-robed youth was between sixteen and seventeen years old, and he had a normal face.


    He was Xin Wuheng, and his cultivation level seemed to be at the peak fifth rank. Facing Xin Wuheng, even the arrogant Zhao Linlong¡¯s expression turned solemn.


    When Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye locked onto Xin Wuheng, he couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. This person wasn¡¯t simple at all¡­


    Facing Zhao Linlong, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel any pressure at all. But facing this person, he could feel the pressure radiating off him. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye could see what others could not¡­


    As if he felt something, Xin Wuheng¡¯s eyes suddenly opened. The second he opened his eyes, Zhao Feng could see his clear pupils, instantly turning the normal face into a handsome one.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng!¡± Zhao Linlong spat out as he looked towards Xin Wuheng.


    However, Xin Wuheng didn¡¯t look at this so-called number one disciple of the Zhao sect. Instead, his eyes landed on Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Not bad. There¡¯s finally someone that interests me,¡± Xin Wuheng nodded his head. As soon as he finished, he closed his eyes once more, not even bothering to look at Zhao Linlong.


    _What?_


    Zhao Linlong forcefully pushed down his anger. No one from the younger generation had the courage to look down on him. But he just couldn¡¯t get angry at Xin Wuheng. After all, Xin Wuheng had beaten him in ten moves last year.


    ¡°Who is this guy? To be so important to Xin Wuheng?¡± Many looked at Zhao Feng, Xin Fei and Xin Tong included.


    Xin Fei¡¯s will to battle was raging and Xin Tong seemed to be expectant as well. ¡°That kid¡¯s cultivation speed is legendary, he¡¯s reached the fifth rank as well.¡±


    Zhao Linlong felt cheated at how importantly Xin Wuheng looked at Zhao Feng. Xin Wuheng was obviously not putting him in his eyes!


    ¡°Xin Wuheng¡­you¡¯ll soon see who¡¯ll be your true opponent,¡± Zhao Linlong laughed coldly to himself.


    At night fell, more and more people arrived. Inside the pavilions were the talented youths and guests of high status. There were around forty to fifty youths invited and the spectators reached around a hundred.


    Abruptly, the mild chatter and conversation was disrupted -


    ¡°Look! Qiu Mengyu is here!¡±


    ¡°The most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City!¡± the crowd exclaimed and then fell into dead silence.


    On the red carpet, there was a girl clothed in azure apparel. Her hair seemed to flow with the air and with her majestic face, she seemed to be made of jade.


    Qiu Mengyu was between seventeen and eighteen years old, and every move she made was elegant. Every smile she gave was full of self-assurance, not like Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qin who were both shy.


    ¡°No wonder she¡¯s rated the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget that Qiu Mengyu is also one of the four great geniuses.¡±


    Many of the talented youths were dazed.


    Only Zhao Yufei among those present could be compared to her. But Zhao Yufei was younger, only fourteen to fifteen, and her pureness seemed very natural. Therefore, she wasn¡¯t as attractive as Qiu Mengyu.


    Under the crowd¡¯s attention, Qiu Mengyu stepped inside the Qiu family¡¯s pavilion.


    ¡°Today, I have the honor to host this year¡¯s summit where all the talented youths within a one thousand radius are invited¡­¡± Qiu Mengyu¡¯s voice was like a gentle creek flowing, attracting even more attention.


    She was indeed pretty!


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but look at Qiu Mengyu a few more times and Zhao Yufei at his side snorted.


    There was also a youth clothed in white within the Qiu families pavilion who had reached the peak of the fifth rank.


    ¡°That person is called Qiu Changyi and he is also one of the four great geniuses,¡± Zhao Qin introduced him.


    ¡°This means that two of the four great geniuses are from the Qiu family?¡± Zhao Feng was slightly stunned.


    ¡°Yes, the Qiu family¡¯s power in Sun Feather City is strong, and they are enemies of our Zhao family, so we usually have a few fights break out,¡± Zhao Chi added.


    At this moment, the four great geniuses of Sun Feather City stood up: Zhao Linlong, Xin Wuheng, Qiu Mengyu, and Qiu Changyi.

 47 Showing Their Skills

    Last year, the four great geniuses had been ranked, with Xin Wuheng easily coming first. Second was Qiu Mengyu, third Zhao Linlong, and fourth Qiu Changyi.


    First was at the Xin family, while second and fourth were both the Qiu family competitors. The Zhao family was easily last. But this year, it had all changed!


    Not only did Zhao Linlong reach the sixth rank, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei had both reached the fifth rank at such young ages.


    The families only compared how many of the younger generations had reached the fifth rank or higher.


    The Zhao family had five: Zhao Linlong, Zhao Chi, Zhao Feng, Zhao Han, and Zhao Yufei.


    The Xin family only had three, including Xin Tong who had just reached the fifth rank.


    The Qiu family had four, which included Qiu Mengyu and Qiu Changyi, two of the four great geniuses.


    ¡°This year¡¯s summit will be intense¡­¡± Zhao family¡¯s dominance made the other two families feel pressured.


    When everyone had arrived, the summit officially started. The summit was mainly for sparring and communicating. According to the rules, anyone could show off their skills or challenge someone.


    After they finished sparring, the two would exchange pointers.


    *************************


    _On the clear open space in the middle of the summit..._


    ¡°I¡¯ve trained a skill named Swiping Cloud Leg and it has reached the peak level.¡±


    A youth kicked out with both legs. Soon, he began to kick even faster. Finally, only an afterimage was left. It was like a chaotic storm of legs.


    ¡°Not bad. To be able to train a middle ranked skill to the peak level,¡± the crowd praised. This youth wasn¡¯t from the three major families. Instead, he was the top genius from a small family.


    After showing off, his fiery hot eyes stared at Qiu Mengyu ¡°I wish to spar with the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City.¡±


    As soon as he finished, he caused an uproar from the crowd.


    ¡°Just you? You want to spar with Qiu Mengyu? In your dreams!¡±


    ¡°You first have to beat me if you want to challenge Qiu Mengyu!¡± From the Qiu family, a youth of the fourth rank sprang out.


    The two soon clashed together. The person from the Qiu family had cultivated a high ranked martial art. Obviously, the Qiu family disciple won after fifty-some moves.


    ¡°Hmph! You still have face to come to the summit with your puny strength?¡± the Qiu family disciple mocked.


    The talented youths from the three big families had better cultivation techniques and skills. Therefore, their strength was much stronger than others on the same level.


    This Qiu youth was soon challenged by someone from the Xin family.


    The summit had a rule. The sparring at the beginning was only for those at the fourth rank. People of the fifth rank or higher couldn¡¯t join in.


    Soon, Zhao Qin and Zhao Ling from the Zhao sect went up, both winning and losing some.


    As time passed, the strength of those onstage rose.


    ¡°I, Zhao Han, want to see how strong you are.¡± Zhao Han stood at the center of the open ground.


    His eyes scanned the cultivators of the fifth rank from the Xin and Qiu family. Although the Xin family only had three, their strengths were all strong.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡± Xin Tong slowly stood up and threw off the grass hat on his head. He had sparred with Zhao Han the last time. But because his cultivation level was lower, he had lost.


    ¡°Defeated trash!¡± Zhao Han coldly laughed and attacked first.


    ¡°Steel Wall Arm!¡±


    Xin Tong¡¯s arm turned to bronze and the muscles on his arm tightened. Under the circulation of his Inner Strength, it headed straight towards Zhao Han.


    Ice Cold Palm!


    A weird ice cold Inner Strength radiated from Zhao Han and appeared on his palm.


    _Pah¡ª-_


    The two energies clashed heavily together. Zhao Han was knocked back a few steps while Xin Tong felt his arm turn numb from the cold.


    The two had their own advantages: Zhao Han¡¯s advantage was that his Inner Strength was at the peak fifth rank, while Xin Tong¡¯s was that his body strength and defense were higher.


    Because Xin Tong had reached the fifth rank, his Inner Strength had also reached this level, and combined with Steel Wall Arm, it had become even more powerful.


    The two exchanged tens of blows without seeing an end result.


    But as time passed, Zhao Han started to feel tired. Every time they clashed, his arm would turn numb from the rebound.


    And since Xin Tong¡¯s defense was extremely strong, he didn¡¯t get injured easily.


    Finally, after one hundred or so moves, Zhao Han started to weaken while Xin Tong started to attack more fiercely.


    ¡°The spar ends here,¡± Qiu Mengyu gently smiled and stopped the two.


    Next, she analyzed the two¡¯s strengths and weaknesses. ¡°Zhao Han, although your Inner Strength is very strong, its foundation isn¡¯t very solid. I recommend that you train a body strengthening technique. As for Xin Tong, although your defense is your specialty and your offense is also powerful, you rely too much on pure power. Your martial arts skills aren¡¯t up to scratch¡­¡±


    Qiu Mengyu¡¯s analysis was perfect. There were also others that joined in the discussion. They also decided that Xin Tong had won this match.


    ¡°Hehe, who¡¯s going to come from the Zhao family? Zhao Linlong? Or Zhao Feng?¡± Xin Tong had his arms crossed and he chewed on a piece of grass as he looked at the Zhao family.


    There were too many talented people in the Zhao family from this generation, so the other families had teamed up to challenge the Zhao family¡¯s geniuses.


    Finally, Xin Tong¡¯s eyes locked onto Zhao Feng as he didn¡¯t have any confidence in beating Zhao Linlong. Zhao Linlong¡¯s cultivation had reached the sixth rank and no one apart from the four great geniuses would have the courage to challenge him.


    ¡°You¡¯ve just had a battle, even if I won it wouldn¡¯t be fair.¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly and stood up.


    What he said was true, Xin Tong had just fought fiercely with Zhao Han and his energy was depleted.


    But his words caused the Xin family disciples to feel disgust.


    ¡°Kid! Don¡¯t be too arrogant!¡±


    ¡°Hmph! Stop using excuses!¡±


    The main reason was because Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t very famous in Sun Feather City and so not many people knew him and only thought of him as a slightly talented youth of the younger generation.


    Zhao Feng was only famous within the Zhao family as he almost never left the family grounds.


    Only Xin Fei of the Xin family had a solemn look.


    Qiu Mengyu gave a suggestion. ¡°Why not let Xin Tong rest a while while Zhao Feng spars with others?¡±


    Her clear crystal eyes gave Zhao Feng an interested glance, and then she looked at Zhao Yufei not far away. Zhao Yufei was slightly embarrassed and stuck out her tongue.


    Zhao Feng felt slightly weird, as if Qiu Mengyu knew him.


    ¡°Does anyone want to spar with me?¡± he asked with a smile.


    ¡°Let me go!¡± A scar-faced youth jumped out from the Xin family¡¯s pagoda.


    It was Xin Fei. After two months, Xin Fei¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak of the fourth rank.


    ¡°You¡¯re not my opponent.¡± Zhao Feng looked at Xin Fei calmly.


    ¡°I know.¡± Xin Fei took a deep breath as his eyes turned sharp.


    _Shua¡ª-_


    The blade in his hand sliced through the air, wave after wave.


    ¡°Insane Wind Dance!¡±


    Xin Fei¡¯s blade skill was pushed to the extreme, and the area in a radius of one meter was devastated by his Song of the Blade Dancing.


    Facing such an attack, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but feel stunned. Xin Fei¡¯s strength was able to challenge those of the fifth rank. In terms of offense, Xin Fei had even exceeded Xin Tong.


    Lightly Micro Step!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure suddenly became unstable and after-images of him would be left everywhere he went.


    _Shua! Shua! Shua¡­_


    Xin Fei¡¯s every attack would only hit the after-images that Zhao Feng left, which would then dissipate. Zhao Feng easily dodged Xin Fei¡¯s attack and the latter wasn¡¯t even able to touch his clothes.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s speed skill is similar to Zhao Linlong¡¯s Shadow Step.¡± Zhao Chi was secretly surprised.


    Angry Dragon Fist!


    Zhao Feng suddenly unleashed an attack and his fist was like a roaring dragon that smashed towards Xin Fei.


    _Peng! Dang!_


    The fist and long blade clashed many times, but Xin Fei was sent backwards with every attack. This was the result even when Zhao Feng had suppressed his cultivation to the peak fourth rank.


    _Dang~_


    Ten moves later, Xin Fei¡¯s blade was knocked flying by Zhao Feng¡¯s finger. That one finger seemed extremely normal, but it contained immense energy. Xing Fei¡¯s blade flew tens of meters away and clanged on the ground.


    ¡°You¡¯re the only one I admire apart from Xin Wuheng.¡± Xin Fei didn¡¯t seem depressed as he turned around to pick up his blade. Only after motivation and pressure would his strength increase.


    ¡°You¡¯ll one day become a top blade master.¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but praise him, he saw the potential and grit within Xin Fei which he didn¡¯t see in others.


    Although his opponent was only at the fourth rank, people could see that this was not the limit of Feng¡¯s strength. Especially his last move, one tap of his finger had sent Xin Fei¡¯s blade flying.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, it seems like you¡¯ve improved a lot!¡± Xin Tong slowly rose.


    After resting for a while, he had mainly recovered since he hadn¡¯t been injured by Zhao Han in the match before.


    ¡°This time, I¡¯ll take back what I lost to you last time,¡± Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°Stop being humble, that time you hadn¡¯t even reached the fourth rank and I wasn¡¯t even able to reach your speed. However, I hope that you don¡¯t just dodge this time and fight like a man instead.¡±


    ¡°Then let us begin.¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath and threw out a simple fist.


    ¡°Good!¡± Xin Tong laughed wildly, he had never feared anyone if they fought him straight on.


    _Peng!_


    The two fists that seemed to be made out of steel clashed heavily together and caused a major explosion.


    _Hu~_


    The forced crushed out towards the surrounding area. Many geniuses present felt their ear¡¯s tremble.


    ¡°What terrifying strength!¡±


    Many spectators felt their heart jump, just that sound alone shocked them. The two figures stood like stone statues in the middle of the stage. The whole stage fell silent.


    After a short moment, a figure trembled and spat out a mouthful of blood.

 48 The Power of Star Finger

    There were no tricks and skills involved, only pure power. The result was decided with one move.


    Many people had disbelieving expressions.


    The one that was injured was Xin Tong!


    Xin Tong was well known throughout Sun Feather City for his strength. He was at the top of the ladder, just below the four great geniuses at the previous summit.


    In many opinions, Xin Tong¡¯s body strengthening technique was extremely powerful. No one thought that he would lose in terms of pure power.


    ¡°I lost¡­if I¡¯m not wrong, you¡¯ve learned Metal Wall Technique and you have at least reached the peak of the fourth level.¡± Xin Tong wiped the blood leaking from his mouth.


    He knew what skill Zhao Feng had learned. Metal Wall Technique was far more profound than Bronze Body Technique, but it was harder to train as well.


    ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t pretend that he had learned something else. But his Metal Wall Technique was not at the peak of the fourth level anymore, it had reached the fifth level a few days ago!


    ¡°When did Sun Feather City have such a person!?¡±


    ¡°His body strength surpasses Xin Tong¡¯s. In terms of pure body defense, his is probably the best in Sun Feather City.¡±


    After beating Xin Tong, Zhao Feng¡¯s fame spread like a wildfire through the younger generation.


    After the sparring match, Zhao Feng returned to the Zhao family pavilion. Zhao Han and Zhao Chi watched him solemnly.


    Zhao Han was extremely shocked, he couldn¡¯t beat Xin Tong in one hundred moves, but Xin Tong had been defeated by Zhao Feng in only one move. It looked like that the distance between them was starting to get bigger and bigger¡­


    Obviously as Zhao Feng and Xin Tong contested in terms of pure power, only winning in one move was normal. Therefore, Zhao Linlong was only slightly stunned, but he soon regained his composure.


    One genius after another showed off their skills.


    ****************************


    _Half the time it takes for an incense to burn later..._


    ¡°Hehehe, it¡¯s finally my turn¡­¡±


    From the Zhao family, a lazy youth who was at the fifth rank came out! The one that came out this time was Zhao Chi.


    In the ranking tournament, Zhao Chi was even ranked higher than Zhao Feng. Zhao Chi not only had a high cultivation level, every skill he learned had also reached a high tier.


    Instantly, he defeated geniuses of the fifth rank from the Qiu and Xin family. Especially at the end, Zhao Chi¡¯s peak ranked martial art was extremely powerful. Now Zhao Chi¡¯s fame had surpassed Zhao Feng¡¯s. Next, he could only challenge the four great geniuses.


    Xin Wuhen, Qiu Mengyu, Qiu Changyi.


    ¡°Qiu Changyi, I won¡¯t lose this time like last year.¡± Zhao Chi was pretty confident.


    ¡°Haha! Although you¡¯ve made major improvements, it won¡¯t be easy for you to beat me.¡± Qiu Changyi was dressed like a handsome scholar.


    The two soon interwove with one another. Facing Zhao Chi, even one of the four great geniuses had to go all out. This was because Zhao Chi¡¯s offense, defense, speed were all flawlessly top class. The fact that he had also learned a peak ranked martial art made Zhao Chi even stronger.


    Qiu Changyi¡¯s speciality was speed.


    _Sou Sou Sou!_


    In the night, a white clothed figure could been seen flying through the air like the wind.


    Flowing Feather Step! Flowing Feather Flying Cloud!


    Qiu Changyi¡¯s footstep skills complimented one another, making their power massively increase.


    His Flowing Feather Flying Cloud had even reached the peak level. There was only one person who had trained a high ranked speed skill to the peak level in the Zhao family.


    Zhao Qin said, ¡°Qiu Changyi is the fastest amongst the younger generation, everyone who met him last year would get a headache.¡±


    The two figures exchanged blows quickly. Zhao Chi was even in every aspect and although he lacked speed, he was still able to stand his ground.


    According to the rules, if the spar was even, the audience would decide the winner. After a long discussion, it was finally decided that Qiu Changyi won, the reason being Qiu Changyi had the upper hand and the judge was from the Qiu family. Although it was slightly unfair, no one said anything.


    After Qiu Changyi won, he didn¡¯t return to his family. He looked at Zhao Yufei instead.


    ¡°Lady Yufei.¡±


    Qiu Changyi had a faint smile on and he didn¡¯t hide his desire. Being with Qiu Mengyu often meant that he had resistance towards hot girls, yet his eyes lit up the moment he saw Zhao Yufei.


    If he missed this girl, he would regret it for life.


    ¡°Qiu Changyi, do you want to spar with me?¡± Zhao Yufei smiled. Not a trace of fear was seen on her face.


    ¡°No! The one I want to challenge is him!¡± Qiu Changyi¡¯s eyes landed on the person next to her.


    The twist dumbfounded many.


    _Why me?_ Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t fear him, he felt baffled.


    ¡°I want to know what is special about Brother Zhao, so special that Zhao Yufei had to come for another invitation.¡± Qiu Changyi¡¯s eyes stared at Zhao Feng.


    He knew that there was a high chance that Zhao Yufei liked Zhao Feng. To replace that position in her heart, he must beat Zhao Feng.


    _What!? Yufei begged for an invite just because of him?_ Jealousy rose within Zhao Linlong¡¯s heart. He couldn¡¯t help but look at Zhao Feng in a newer, darker light.


    ¡°Thank you, Yufei.¡± Zhao Feng smiled gratefully towards Zhao Yufei.


    He finally knew how he got his invitation. With Zhao Linlong not putting him in his eyes at all, he had simply not received an invitation.


    ¡°We¡¯re good friends, neighbors! If you want to thank me, beat him.¡± Zhao Yufei smiled like a lotus blooming.


    In that moment, her beauty surpassed the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City, Qiu Mengyu.


    ¡°Sure.¡± Zhao Feng felt a fire burning in his heart.


    He wasn¡¯t fighting for anything, just Zhao Yufei going to the Qiu family alone for another invitation gave him reason not to lose.


    ¡°I hope you don¡¯t let Lady Yufei down.¡± Qiu Changyi seemed normal, but within his heart, he was slightly jealous and envious.


    However, the real one who was jealous was actually Zhao Linlong.


    _Why¡­how can this branch sect disciple steal my woman!?_ Zhao Linlong¡¯s face flashed coldly in the darkness.


    Right at this moment, the two figures clashed together. Qiu Chanyi¡¯s white robe enhanced his handsome looks, and he immediately became the center of attention for the girls. However, his opponent¡¯s speed wasn¡¯t slow, either.


    Lightly Micro Step! Lightly Floating Ferry!


    Zhao Feng showed off his speed skills. These two skills of his came from the same origin. Up until now, Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightly Floating Ferry had reached the low level, but it was only one step away from the high level.


    However the rank of this skill couldn¡¯t be measured, it had the potential to even exceed peak ranked martial arts. In terms of speed, Zhao Feng only used seventy to eighty percent to fight on par with Qiu Changyi.


    ¡°How-how can this guy¡¯s speed not be any slower than mine?¡± Sweat started to run down Qiu Changyi¡¯s back.


    He had always been the fastest cultivator of the youngest generation of Sun Feather City. But now, there was someone who was no slower than him. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s body strengthening technique and offensive skills surpassed his.


    ¡°Star Finger!¡± Zhao Feng shouted and pointed his finger.


    _Shua~_


    The finger condensed all his Inner Strength into one point and it swept across the dark night.


    _Pu!_


    Qiu Changyi didn¡¯t have the time to dodge, so he had to face it straight on. The end result was that his entire arm went numb. Furthermore, there was a wild chi rampaging throughout his body.


    _Teng! Teng! Teng¡­_


    His body was sent back a few steps before he stopped.


    ¡°Peak ranked martial arts? How can I lose¡­?¡± Qiu Changyi clenched his teeth as he started to unleash his killing move.


    _Pah!_


    A hand that seemed to made out of bronze gently tapped his shoulder.


    _What!?_


    Qiu Changyi felt himself turn cold. As he stood dazed, Zhao Feng had found his flaws and he had used unparalleled speed to move behind him.


    ¡°I lost?¡± Qiu Changyi seemed to lose his spirit as he stood there in disbelief.


    But reality was cruel. Zhao Feng¡¯s speed wasn¡¯t any slower than his, Zhao Feng¡¯s offense surpassed his, and he had even learned Star Finger, one of the most famous peak ranked martial arts.


    ¡°Star Finger?¡± Zhao Linlong¡¯s heart raced. Star Finger was similar to Spatial Cloud Finger, both were extremely powerful peak ranked martial arts.


    The head of the sect Zhao Tiancang had once said, ¡°The skill I¡¯m teaching you now, Spatial Cloud Finger, is one of the most powerful peak ranked martial arts within the Zhao family. No one can stand against you unless they have learned Star Finger. In that case, you will lose.¡±


    ¡°Then why not teach me Star Finger instead?¡± Zhao Linlong asked curiously.


    ¡°Star Finger is too hard to train, the slightest mistake would destroy one¡¯s future talents. And even though I¡¯m the head of the sect, I can¡¯t allow you to go and select more peak ranked martial arts.¡±


    That scene replayed inside Zhao Linlong¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Phew, it looks like Zhao Feng¡¯s Star Finger is only at the second level. If it was at the third level, then it would be difficult¡­¡± Zhao Linlong let out a careful breath.


    From the look of things, it seemed like Zhao Feng¡¯s Star Finger hadn¡¯t reached the third level yet.

 49 Ten Moves Xin Wuheng

    Zhao Feng used Star Finger to beat Qiu Changyi in one move. The audience of the summit erupted.


    ¡°Who is this guy? Why haven¡¯t I heard of him before?¡±


    ¡°He just beat Xin Tong in one move, and now even Qiu Changyi lost to him.¡±


    The chaos far surpassed anything before, because Qiu Changyi was one of the four great geniuses. Beating Qiu Changyi ,Zhao Feng might become one of the next four great geniuses!


    The few familiar geniuses of the Zhao family were stunned. Zhao Chi, Zhao Han, and Zhao Qin couldn¡¯t hide their shock.


    ¡°He won.¡± Excitement shone within Zhao Yufei eyes.


    ¡°There¡¯s such a talented person within the Zhao family. Furthermore, he¡¯s only fourteen years old¡­¡± Qiu Mengyu¡¯s eyes were full of worry and concern.


    Competition was fierce between the three big families of Sun Feather City and the Qiu family wasn¡¯t on good terms with the Zhao family. And the younger generation would decide their future prospects.


    **************************


    After beating Qiu Changyi, Zhao Feng returned to the Zhao family pavilion.


    He smiled at Zhao Yufei. ¡°Looks like I didn¡¯t disappoint you.¡±


    ¡°I was joking just then, but I also wanted to know brother Feng¡¯s true strength,¡± Zhao Yufei answered slyly.


    Suddenly, he felt a killing intent come from his side. Turning around, he saw that Zhao Linlong was sitting there grimly and giving him a warning look.


    Zhao Feng shook his head and knew that Zhao Linlong had mistaken him as a competitor for Zhao Yufei. He was too lazy to bother explaining. With his strength, he didn¡¯t fear anyone in the younger generation.


    The genius summit continued with many talented youths coming onstage.


    _At a certain point..._


    Qiu Mengyu went up to show her skills. She immediately beat many youths of the fourth and fifth rank.


    Even with Zhao Qin and Zhao Ling¡¯s strength they couldn¡¯t block three moves from her and cultivators of the fifth rank such as Zhao Chi and Zhao Han couldn¡¯t block more then twenty.


    This made many people secretly click their tongues.


    ¡°Qiu Mengyu is way stronger than Qiu Changyi.¡± Zhao Feng felt surprised.


    The feeling that Qiu Mengyu gave off was the ¡®most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City¡¯, but in terms of strength she was ranked second at the last summit, one higher than even Zhao Linlong.


    ¡°Zhao Linlong, your cultivation is the highest amongst the four great geniuses. Could I have the pleasure to spar with you?¡± Qiu Mengyu said smiling.


    ¡°Obviously. Since I lost to you last year, there will definitely be a battle this year.¡± Zhao Linlong stood up slowly and released his sixth rank aura.


    At this moment, he surveyed the watching young fighters in a high and noble manner.


    ¡°But you¡¯ve just fought just now, so even if I win it won¡¯t be fair,¡± Zhao Linlong¡¯s mouth twisted.


    ¡°No wonder brother Linlong is the top genius of the Zhao family, then I¡¯ll rest for a while.¡± Qiu Mengyu smiled and didn¡¯t reject his offering.


    ¡°Is there anyone that has the courage to fight me?¡± Zhao Linlong smiled and scanned the Qiu and Xin family pavilions.


    ¡°Mengyu, let me go and test his skills,¡± a skinny youth from the Qiu family said under his breath to Qiu Mengyu.


    ¡°Qiu Lin, be careful! Don¡¯t fight him head on!¡± Qiu Mengyu agreed as she recovered her stamina.


    _Ceng!_


    A youth of the fifth rank landed in the middle of the stage.


    ¡°Zhao Linlong, will you fight me?¡±


    Qiu Lin had intense fighting intent rising in his eyes as a faint deep green glow spread amongst his body, it was obvious that this person was peak fifth rank.


    ¡°Hehe, I wonder how many moves you can block.¡± Zhao Linlong lightly laughed and with a shuah, he left multiple after-images in the dark night.


    ¡°High ranked martial art Shadow Step!¡±


    ¡°This skill can be used to its maximum potential at night!¡± the audience exclaimed.


    At this moment, there were only after-images of Zhao Linlong on the stage. Qiu Lin¡¯s heart jumped, his eyes couldn¡¯t even see how Zhao Linlong moved.


    ¡°Ancient Wind Palm!¡±


    Qiu Lin clenched his teeth and a deep green glow appeared on his palms that swept across a wide area.


    Beng! Tah! Tah!


    His area attack swept towards where Zhao Linlong was. However, none of his attacks even landed on Zhao Linlong¡¯s clothes.


    Shua!


    Zhao Linlong¡¯s ghostly figure suddenly disappeared again from his sight. Qiu Lin immediately felt that something was wrong and as if to prove him right, something attacked from behind him.


    ¡°Ancient Wind Reverse!¡± he exclaimed and threw his palm backwards.


    _Pah!_


    A loud sound sounded throughout the dark night.


    Qiu Lin¡¯s movement froze and shock filled his face. His arm couldn¡¯t move anymore. The high level of a high ranked skill had been forced to stop in midair.


    _Si!_


    The people watching drew in cold breaths. There was a youth dressed in gold standing behind Qiu Lin with one hand on his shoulder.


    Qiu Lin only felt cold sweat flow down his back and he felt that the hand on his shoulder was far too heavy. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn¡¯t move.


    ¡°Shadow Step is a high ranked martial art and being trained to the peak level compensating with Zhao Linlong¡¯s sixth rank of the Martial Path makes him invicible.¡± Qiu Changyi took a deep breath.


    Zhao Linlong¡¯s strength was unimaginable.


    ¡°Who else will spar with me?¡± Zhao Linlong stood in the middle of the stage, his golden robe flying in the wind making him look like a king.


    ¡°I will!¡± A youth of the fifth rank walked out from the Xin family.


    ¡°I¡¯ll beat you in three moves.¡± Zhao Linlong laughed and left an after-image in the wind.


    The two figures clashed and in three moves, the youth of the fifth rank was sent flying with a loud thump.


    _Hu!_


    Zhao Linlong¡¯s faint purple aura rose again.


    ¡°Who else?¡± Zhao Linlong¡¯s eyes scanned across to Qiu Mengyu and Xin Wuheng.


    Xin Wuheng had his eyes closed and he didn¡¯t respond as if he had no interest to fight.


    Just as Zhao Linlong was going to challenge him¡­


    ¡°I will!¡± Qiu Mengyu was like a goddess that descended onto the middle of the stage.


    ¡°What kind of skill is that¡­?¡± Many youths stood dazed. Qiu Mengyu¡¯s skill seemed to be surreal and more of a dance.


    ¡°Good!¡± Zhao Linlong used his Shadow Step and the after-images once again appeared.


    _Pah! Pah¡­_


    The two figures occasionally exchanged blows in midair. Every time they clashed, Qiu Mengyu would use Zhao Linlong¡¯s power to help boost her higher.


    ¡°Qiu Mengyu cultivates Twirling Snake Body and it is an unique body strengthening skill, it allows the user to become unusually soft and withstand high damage. Cultivators of the same rank won¡¯t be able to harm her at all¡­¡± Zhao Qin informed everyone.


    In terms of how powerful their body strengthening techniques were, Qin Mengyu was even higher than Xin Tong and just lower than Zhao Feng. Furthermore, Qiu Mengyu¡¯s speed skill wasn¡¯t any worse than Qiu Changyi¡¯s, and her cultivation was also at the peak fifth rank.


    With Zhao Linlong using Shadow Step to the extreme, he couldn¡¯t gain an advantage.


    Thirty moves¡­forty moves¡­


    Time slowly passed. Zhao Linlong¡¯s attacks also became more and more fierce.


    Spatial Cloud Finger!


    Fifty moves later, Zhao Linlong used his peak ranked martial art.


    _Shua~_


    A thin line of purple light shot through the sky. Qiu Mengyu couldn¡¯t withstand Zhao Linlong¡¯s attacks anymore and she almost coughed out blood after defending ten more moves.


    ¡°Brother Linlong¡¯s improvements are insane. Your Spatial Cloud Finger and Shadow Step make me look up in awe,¡± Qiu Mengyu smiled as she gave up.


    Although she lost, it was expected since Zhao Linlong¡¯s cultivation was too strong. Maybe only Xin Wuheng could give him a fight.


    After beating Qiu Mengyu, Zhao Linlong¡¯s last oppponent was Xin Wuheng.


    ¡°Who else will fight me?¡± Zhao Linlong¡¯s eyes scanned over the crowds and as it passed Zhao Feng, disdain flashed in his eyes.


    Finally, Zhao Linlong¡¯s eyes settled on Xin Wuheng. Immediately, every person present looked at Xin Wuheng expectantly.


    Xin Wuheng. The king of the summit last year using absolute power to dominate the other three great geniuses.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng! Xin Wuheng!¡±


    As the people screamed his name, Xin Wuheng slowly stood up calmly. ¡°There¡¯s no use. Same deal as before, ten moves.¡±


    _Hua!_


    The audience erupted in chaos.


    Ten moves? What did this mean!?


    Zhao Feng looked at the other geniuses.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng has a nickname, ¡®Ten Moves¡¯,¡± Zhao Qin said soberly.


    Zhao Feng took in a deep breath. Ten Moves?


    ¡°Up to now, no one has ever exchanged more than ten moves with him. Ever!¡±

 50 Anger From Embarrassmen

    * * *


    Ten Moves Xin Wuheng!


    The summit reached a climax as Xin Wuheng appeared. Being the winner of the last summit, Xin Wuheng was famous throughout Sun Feather City.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng I¡¯ve been waiting for this a long time.¡± A will to fight appeared in Zhao Linlong¡¯s eyes, and his sixth rank aura was no longer held back.


    ¡°Zhao Linlong, your energy has been depleted a bit, it¡¯s best for you to rest first,¡± Qiu Mengyu warned helpfully.


    Zhao Linlong had fought many battles before and used up a lot of stamina, especially when fighting Qiu Mengyu. If he faced a normal opponent Zhao Linlong wouldn¡¯t even think about this problem. However, his opponent was ¡®Ten Moves¡¯ Xin Wuheng, someone who had thrashed him once already.


    ¡°Big brother Linlong, you rest first while I test out his skill.¡± Zhao Ling jumped onto the middle of the stage with his spear.


    Zhao Ling was ranked seventh in the tournament and he didn¡¯t have any right to attend, but Zhao Linlong had given Zhao Feng¡¯s spot to him. Therefore, Zhao Ling was very grateful towards Zhao Linlong and wanted to help him out.


    ¡°Ok, but don¡¯t force yourself.¡± Zhao Linlong returned to the pavilion and started to recover his energy.


    With Zhao Ling fighting first, he could at least test a bit of Xin Wuheng¡¯s skills.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng¡­ take my spear!¡± Zhao Ling exclaimed as his silver spear flashed through the night.


    Xin Wuheng stood still with one hand behind his back.


    Outrageous!


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s actions meant that he was not putting Zhao Ling in his eyes.


    _Shua!_


    The spear was thrust towards Xin Wuheng¡¯s left shoulder. Xin Wuheng was expressionless as he raised one finger.


    _Dang!_


    The simple finger managed to hit the weakest part of the spear tip and a powerful and chaotic Inner Strength flowed through the spear into Zhao Ling¡¯s body.


    Zhao Ling immediately felt his blood boil.


    ¡°Let go!¡±


    Xin Wuheng swept his hand and unparalleled inner strength hit Zhao Ling, making the latter spit out blood.


    _Clang!_


    The spear flew out of Zhao Ling¡¯s hand as he landed on the ground.


    Zhao Ling was instantly defeated by one finger touch and one palm. This scene made many geniuses hearts jump, yet it was within expectations. After all, Xin Wuheng came in first at the last summit, and even Zhao Linlong could achieve the same results.


    _Inside the Zhao family pavilion..._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was solemn, he had seen the whole fight with his left eye. Every move that he used seemed to be simple and casual, yet they would hit Zhao Ling¡¯s critical point as if he had the same ability as his left eye.


    Furthermore, Xin Wuheng¡¯s attack seemed to follow some kind of law that was too profound for him. It was similar to the attack the mysterious girl had back within the canyon, but the feeling from the mysterious girl was tens of times stronger.


    ¡°Brother Linlong you recover a bit more, I¡¯ll go and force him to use his full strength.¡± Zhao Chi¡¯s eyes twinkled as he lept onto the area.


    ¡°Attack.¡± Xin Wuheng still stood expressionless.


    ¡°Sky Howling Fist!¡±


    Zhao Chi immediately used his nearing peak level high ranked skill. At the same time, he used a high ranked speed skill and a high ranked body strengthening technique.


    Zhao Chi¡¯s strength was the closest to the four great geniuses and he didn¡¯t have flaws in any aspect. Therefore, he was the best one to test Xin Wuheng¡¯s strength.


    Breaking Wind Finger!


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s finger sliced through the air like a sharp sword.


    _Ssss!_


    The finger and fist clashed together, but Xin Wuheng¡¯s finger only scraped past Zhao Chi¡¯s fist.


    Zhao Chi¡¯s figure immediately fell over while his arm went numb at the same time.


    ¡°Breaking Wind Finger? It seems to be a middle ranked martial art!¡±


    ¡°Wait, I¡¯ve also trained Breaking Wind Finger, but it seems different from his.¡±


    Discussion broke out.


    Zhao Chi took a deep breath and used his high ranked speed skill to escape the danger.


    _Pah! Pah¡­_


    The two exchanged their finger and fist.


    One move, two moves, three moves¡­


    Xin Wuheng didn¡¯t move a step at all, while Zhao Chi was already sweating and puffing. They had only exchanged three blows in total. Zhao Chi had to spend a hundred times more energy than usual. Xin Wuheng¡¯s every move seemed to perfectly counter his.


    Although they had the same Inner Strength and power level, Xin Wuheng seemed to be in sync with the heavens.


    When they reached the fifth move, Zhao Chi¡¯s chest, hand and arm had turned sore from blocking.


    Suddenly, at the sixth move, Xin Wuheng used a middle ranked leg skill and with a _thump_ hit Zhao Chi¡¯s arm.


    ¡°Ahhhh¡­¡± Zhao Chi screamed in pain and he landed on the floor, sweating coldly.


    Xin Wuheng only used a middle ranked finger and leg skill to beat Zhao Chi.


    ¡°It¡¯s the same as last year, he still only used middle ranked martial arts.¡±


    ¡°All of his skills have at least reached the peak level.¡±


    The middle of the stage...


    Xin Wuheng stood tall with his hands behind his back calmly, as if he had used no energy at all in the previous fight. After Zhao Chi lost, the Qiu family also sent out a few talented disciples to test him out, but it was to no avail. Even Qiu Changyi was defeated in seven moves, and every time Xin Wuheng attacked, he only used one hand.


    Cultivators of the same rank were defeated easily and without strain.


    ¡°Hard to believe¡­¡± Zhao Feng looked at the battle and soon came up with his analysis.


    Xin Wuheng had trained five or six middle ranked skills which had all reached the peak level. Some of the moves had even exceeded the original skill in power.


    ******************8


    _At the same time..._


    On a tree near the summit, two figures clothed in silver armor stood silently on a branch, hiding within the night.


    ¡°To be able to train so many middle ranked skills to the peak rank¡­I can¡¯t believe such a small Sun Feather City has such a talented genius. If he was put in Jun City, he¡¯d still be ranked in the top ten,¡± one of the silver figures said.


    ¡°You¡¯ve underestimated him¡­although he hasn¡¯t reached Martial Master yet, he still has the senses of one. I think you understand what this means, don¡¯t you?¡± the other person said hoarsely.


    None of the geniuses, guests, and elders sensed these two people.


    ******************


    Xin Wuheng stood expressionless in the middle of the stage. At this point, no one dared to challenge him, so they turned their eyes towards Zhao Linlong.


    Zhao Linlong had reached the sixth rank of the Martial Path and he was the only one able counter him. Xin Wuheng¡¯s eyes also turned towards the Zhao family¡¯s pavilion as if he was waiting for something.


    ¡°Are you ready, Xin Wuheng?¡± Zhao Linlong stood up. He had reached his peak state, the blood and chi within him boiled.


    ¡°I don¡¯t need to prepare.¡± Although he had just fought many battles, they had expended almost no energy at all since his opponents were defeated almost instantly.


    ¡°Good!¡± As soon as he finished his words, Zhao Linlong left a golden after-image and appeared in the middle of the stage.


    The two geniuses stood facing each other while the spectators watched in anticipation. Even the two silver clad figures far outside watched with interest.


    _Shadow Step!_


    Zhao Linlong moved and although most of the younger generation couldn¡¯t see him, they could still hear the _sha sha_ sound coming from him. Most people knew that Zhao Linlong¡¯s high ranked skill, Shadows Step, had reached the peak level and it worked better when used at night.


    Hu!


    Xin Wuheng let out a breath and he slowly released the hand behind his back as his expression turned serious. The battles he had fought before were all with one hand, but this time, he was going to use two hands as his opponent had reached the sixth rank.


    Facing Zhao Linlong¡¯s ghostly figure, Xin Wuheng stood as still as a stone statue. Zhao Feng could clearly see that Xin Wuheng¡¯s blood, breathing, and Inner Strength remained calm in his body.


    ¡°Zhao Linlong¡¯s speed skill probably has no effect on him.¡± He sighed and shook his head.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you!¡± Zhao Ling said coldly. ¡°Brother Linlong¡¯s high ranked speed skill has reached the peak level and his cultivation is also the highest.¡±


    He had developed admiration and trust towards Zhao Linlong. Zhao Feng smiled, but he didn¡¯t speak.


    _Shua! Pah!_


    A palm from a golden figure swept towards Xin Wuheng¡¯s back.


    Too fast!


    No one understood how Zhao Linlong appeared behind Xin Wuheng. However, at this moment, Xin Wuheng also moved. He moved calmly, just slightly pressing out his chest and the terrifying palm just missed him.


    ¡°Back Flowing Leg!¡±


    Without even turning, Xin Wuheng unleashed his attack.


    _Peng!_


    Zhao Linlong quickly circulated his Inner Strength and he managed to block Xin Wuheng¡¯s attack. Just as Zhao Feng expected, Zhao Linlong¡¯s speed skill had no effect on Xin Wuheng¡­


    ¡°How did you know Zhao Linlong¡¯s Shadow Step has no effect on him?¡± Zhao Yufei asked curiously.


    On her other side, Zhao Ling said coldly, ¡°He was just lucky and he said that because he doesn¡¯t like Brother Linlong.¡±


    _I dislike him?_


    Zhao Feng almost let out his laughter, after all, it was obvious who disliked who.


    ¡°What are you laughing about!? Let¡¯s make a bet then,¡± Zhao Ling said angrily.


    * * *

 51 Defeat of Linlong

    A bet?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression suddenly turned into one of extreme joy. ¡°What do you want to bet?¡±


    The two¡¯s argument made people from the other families look at them in disdain. But many people present also knew that Zhao Ling admired Zhao Linlong and that Zhao Linlong had given Zhao Feng¡¯s invitation to Zhao Ling. Therefore, Zhao Ling didn¡¯t just admire Zhao Linlong, he was also grateful towards him.


    ¡°Zhao Ling, both of you are disciples from the same sect. Why not be more peaceful?¡± Zhao Qin said.


    ¡°No!¡± Zhao Ling¡¯s face turned red then white but his eyes still locked on Zhao Feng. ¡°I bet you that Brother Linlong will win! Do you dare to bet?¡±


    Obviously, Zhao Ling had absolute faith in Zhao Linlong.


    ¡°Why not? I bet that not only will Xin Wuheng win, he¡¯ll also win within twenty moves,¡± Zhao Feng laughed.


    What!?


    The others within the pavilion looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief. From the current situation, there was a five-five win-loss ratio between Zhao Linlong and Xin Wuheng. Where did Zhao Feng¡¯s confidence come from?


    ¡°Good, good, good! The losing party will have to apologize to the other person.¡± Fire was almost spewing from Zhao Ling¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Sure.¡± On the other hand, Zhao Feng still remained calm.


    ****


    _The middle of the stage..._


    _Shua!_


    Zhao Linlong once again used his Shadows Step and floated around Xin Wuheng. Moments later, his after-images were destroyed. The golden figure once again appeared and swept towards Xin Wuheng¡¯s lower body with extreme speed.


    _Pah!_


    Xin Wuheng performed a leg skill and knocked back Zhao Linlong¡¯s leg.


    Blocked again?


    Zhao Linlong was stunned. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡± he swore.


    Zhao Linlong couldn¡¯t believe that anyone could break his Shadows Step, and the opponent¡¯s cultivation level was even lower than his.


    Once again, Xin Wuheng was expressionless as he stood on the same spot, occasionally moving a few steps to counter Zhao Linlong. Zhao Linlong pushed Shadow Step to the max and not only did his attacks miss Xin Wuheng, Xin Wuheng also counter attacked, making him dodge in fear.


    If his cultivation weren¡¯t higher than Xin Wuheng¡¯s, he would¡¯ve been fully suppressed.


    ¡°Zhao Linlong¡¯s speed skill does indeed not have an effect on Xin Wuheng.¡±


    Zhao Chi and Zhao Han looked incredulously towards Zhao Feng. Zhao Qin and Zhao Yufei once again curiously asked for the reason.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng has trained a hearing skill, which can tell the opponent¡¯s attack route and position by listening to the wind. Adding the fact that Zhao Linlong is the one attacking first, there¡¯s no threat at all,¡± Zhao Feng explained.


    The others looked and they saw that Xin Wuheng¡¯s ears were moving. If one didn¡¯t look closely, they wouldn¡¯t realize it at all. But with Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, it was easy to spot. He found that Xin Wuheng¡¯s ears turned towards Zhao Linlong¡¯s position, which meant that Zhao Linlong¡¯s skill couldn¡¯t confuse Xin Wuheng at all.


    ¡°Hmph! Brother Linlong will still win, but it¡¯s just a matter of time,¡± Zhao Ling said harshly.


    At this time, the two exchanged five hard blows. When they finished the fifth move, Xin Wuheng was purely focusing on defense. And on the sixth move, he started to counter attack.


    Small Cloud Vein Hands!


    Xin Wuheng once again blocked Zhao Linlong¡¯s hands and at the same time, he used incredible speed and accuracy to grab Zhao Linlong¡¯s arm.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    Zhao Linlong immediately released his Inner Strength to shake Xin Wuheng¡¯s hand off. Even when he did that, a bloody claw mark was left on his arm. Every skill that Xin Wuheng learned had reached the peak level or higher, and even with Zhao Linglong¡¯s sixth rank cultivation, he couldn¡¯t block it.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng has reached an extremely high level in terms of control. By using the smallest amount of power, he can deal the most damage. That attack just then hit one of Zhao Linlong¡¯s nerve points¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye saw the whole scene perfectly.


    Cloud Chess Foot!


    This time, Xin Wuheng attacked first and he used an unknown step skill. It looked like he was moving backwards, but in reality, it was the opposite. The speed of this skill wasn¡¯t fast, but it seemed extremely odd and every step contained unlimited insight.


    From Zhao Feng¡¯s point of view, that skill wasn¡¯t a speed skill, but a way to play chess.


    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen such a skill.¡± The spectators all watching shook their heads. Although it wasn¡¯t fast, the weirdness of it made Zhao Linlong fumble.


    Breaking Wind Finger!


    In fear, Zhao Linlong used one of his strongest skills. The powerful finger seemed to go in an impossible route towards Xin Wuheng. The finger skill and speed skill miraculously complimented one another. But at the same time, Zhao Feng felt the ¡®One with the Sky¡¯ feeling.


    ¡°What kind of situation is this¡­?¡± Zhao Linlong¡¯s pupils shrank.


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s counterattack gave him an unknown feeling. The opponent¡¯s hand seemed to contain deep profoundness.


    ¡°Break!¡± Zhao Linlong exclaimed, and used all his power to try to stop the attack.


    _Ta!_


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s figure was knocked back four to five steps. At the same time, Zhao Linlong gave a ¡®hmph¡¯ as his right arm lost all feeling and fell down powerless. Those watching held their breath.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng¡¯s attack is just too weird.¡±


    Some of the people present didn¡¯t understand what had happened, only a small amount of people saw something.


    ***************


    _Under the tree..._


    ¡°He¡¯s able to merge a few martial arts together, what kind of genius is he?¡± one of the silver figures asked deeply.


    ¡°This seems to contain profoundness from Holy Martial Arts¡­he doesn¡¯t seem to be as simple as he looks like¡­¡± the other silver figure said suspiciously.


    ***********


    _How did this happen?_


    Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Linlong¡¯s forehead. From the start of the battle, this was the first time it was obvious that he held the lower hand. The two had only exchanged seven blows so far.


    Ten Moves Xin Wuheng!


    Could this saying never be broken?


    Spatial Cloud Finger!


    Zhao Linlong took a deep breath and finally unleashed his killing move.


    Howling Tiger Fist!


    Xin Wuheng remained expressionless and he actually used a middle ranked martial art. At this moment, a howl seemed to come from Xin Wuheng¡¯s fist.


    _Peng!_


    The finger and the fist heavily smashed into each other and a gust of wind swept up everything in a five to six meter radius. Zhao Linlong felt that the opponent¡¯s fist was like a metal ball that was vibrating extremely fast.


    All finger skills condensed one¡¯s energy into one point, and although the damage dealt was extremely powerful, the dangers were high as well. For example, Star Finger was extremely dangerous to train; any minor accident could break Zhao Feng¡¯s finger. Xin Wuheng¡¯s fist contained a chaotic and powerful vibration.


    _Teng!_


    Zhao Linlong had to retreat once again. This was the first time either of them showed signs of losing. Xin Wuheng immediately closed in on him using fist skills, palm skills, foot skills¡­all of them were at the peak level.


    The seventh move¡­the eighth move¡­the ninth move¡­


    Zhao Linlong was fully suppressed and injuries could be seen on his body. If Zhao Linlong didn¡¯t have the higher cultivation level, the exchanges would¡¯ve seriously injured him.


    Finally!


    It was the tenth move¡­


    ¡°The tenth move!¡± Everyone held their breaths.


    ¡°Cloud Breaking the Heavens!¡±


    Zhao Linlong put all his power into his finger. The finger left a purple-azure glow in the sky.


    So strong! The geniuses watching were shocked.


    ¡°The power of this finger is close to my One-Line Star Finger.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression slightly changed.


    ¡°Interesting,¡± Xin Wuheng faintly smiled, and took a light breath.


    As he did so, a dark grey chi appeared¡­the amount of chi formed surpassed the limit of sixth rankers.


    How did he do this?


    ¡°Sweeping the Wind and Clouds!¡±


    Xin Wuheng waved his robe and with the sound of lightning, the stones below him were cut into pieces, which promptly formed a vortex. That casual wave of his robe seemed to disturb the wind. This was the most powerful move Xin Wuheng had used!


    _Boom¡ª¡ª¨C_


    The two intense moves clashed heavily, forming a miniature tornado that promptly ruptured from the conflict of energies.


    Only two blurry figures were visible and they were covered in dust. The spectators were like wooden chickens.


    Strong!


    So strong!


    Everyone took in a cold breath. Compared to these two, every battle before it was like children playing.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to believe that these people are only of the sixth rank.¡±


    ¡°The energy at the end was infinitely close to the Martial Master level¡­¡± The important guests had seen more things and understood how terrifying Martial Masters were.


    _Hu~_


    Zhao Linlong¡¯s figure trembled, then spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell down.


    _Plop!_


    He used one of his hands to push himself up off the ground, the expression of fear and unwillingness was still present on his face.


    Lost!


    He not only lost, he was defeated in ten moves!


    Ten moves Xin Wuheng!


    Could this not be broken?


    ¡°How could Brother Linlong lose¡­? It¡¯s only been ten moves¡­¡± Zhao Ling seemed as if he had lost his soul. Zhao Linlong had been his god.


    ¡°Lost in ten moves?¡± Zhao Feng was surprised himself.


    He had thought that Zhao Linlong would lose, but not in ten moves. At this moment, the others all stared at him like he was some sort of beast.

 52 Zhao Feng Making His Move

    Zhao Linlong had lost!


    The others immediately stared at Zhao Feng. Once again his calculations were correct, yet this was not the way he thought that Zhao Linlong would lose¡­


    ¡°How can you be like this, Zhao Feng? You shouldn¡¯t say bad things about Brother Linlong.¡± Zhao Chi¡¯s brow furrowed.


    After all, they were all from the same family and Zhao Linlong losing lost face for everyone here.


    ¡°Big mouther!¡± Zhao Ling said grimly, as if Zhao Linlong had lost because of Zhao Feng¡¯s prediction.


    _You blame me for this?_


    Zhao Feng smiled as he shook his head and said coldly, ¡°Did you just forget our bet where the losing side has to apologize to the other person.¡±


    Bet? Apologize?


    Zhao Ling¡¯s face immediately froze.


    ¡°I can apologize to you for losing, but I won¡¯t bow down my head towards your shameless act¡­¡± Zhao Ling said, trembling with humiliation.


    ¡°Losing means losing.¡± Zhao Feng looked on in disdain.


    ¡°You, you¡­if you have the skills, why don¡¯t you go challenge Xin Wuheng? If you can block ten moves of his, I¡¯ll have nothing to say,¡± Zhao Ling hatefully said.


    Because Zhao Linlong had lasted ten moves, he didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng could do any better.


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s eyes scanned the younger generation and they finally landed on Zhao Feng. ¡°Would you like to spar with me?¡±


    The other geniuses of the Zhao family were shocked. Even Zhao Ling, who was in the middle of the argument, was stunned.


    But when he realized that Xin Wuheng was challenging Zhao Feng, his expression of shock changed to one of gloating.


    ¡°Fine! Just as you wished, I¡¯ll let you see how many moves I can block!¡± Zhao Feng said playfully, glancing towards Zhao Ling.


    Although Zhao Ling¡¯s hairs stood up just from Zhao Feng looking at him, he still replied, ¡°If you can last more than ten moves, I¡¯ll apologize to you truthfully.¡±


    This time, he didn¡¯t say lasting ten moves, but lasting more than ten moves. After all, Xin Wuheng was called ¡®Ten Moves¡¯ Xin Wuheng.


    ¡°Ten moves is too short, at least thirty¡­ no, fifty moves!¡± Zhao Feng said casually, leaving behind a group of dazed Zhao disciples.


    Where did his confidence come from?


    ¡°Arrogant!¡± Zhao Linlong, who was returning, managed to hear his words and his expression turned dark. If he, the number one Zhao disciple, was defeated, who else had a chance?


    On the middle of the stage...


    Zhao Feng walked slowly towards Xin Wuheng and said, ¡°Zhao Feng is here to spar with you.¡±


    ¡°My intuition can¡¯t be wrong, I believe that you¡¯re the only one who can be my true opponent,¡± Xin Wuheng said calmly.


    ¡°You¡¯ve just fought, I¡¯ll give you ten breaths to recover,¡± Zhao Feng calmly said.


    Arrogant!


    Discussion broke out through the audience.


    ¡°Did he eat the wrong medicine? Does Xin Wuheng need to recover just to fight him?¡±


    ¡°Just watch the show¡­!¡± the other geniuses swore and cursed.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Inside the pavilion, tears were coming from Zhao Ling.


    Soon, the audience¡¯s attention returned to Xin Wuheng expectantly. After all, Xin Wuheng didn¡¯t even take a breather after fighting Zhao Linlong.


    ¡°Ok.¡± Xin Wuheng looked deeply at Zhao Feng and sat down cross-legged to recover his energy.


    What!?


    Those watching felt shocked. The smile on Zhao Ling¡¯s face froze. Darkness appeared on Zhao Linlong¡¯s face.


    Why did Xin Wuheng look at Zhao Feng so importantly? Xin Wuheng was obviously going to fight Zhao Feng in his peak state.


    One breath¡­two breaths¡­three breaths¡­


    There was dead silence as Xin Wuheng recovered. Finally, ten breaths had passed.


    Xin Wuheng slowly stood up, and it was obvious that he had reached his peak state.


    ¡°Ten breaths! You¡¯re indeed not normal¡­¡± Xin Wuheng said, looking at Zhao Feng deeply.


    Before, Xin Wuheng had always been in a casual state, and he didn¡¯t spend much energy until he fought Zhao Linlong. Since he had fought someone of higher rank, he had expended more energy. Xin Wuheng understood that he needed ten breaths of time to reach his peak state and coincidentally...this was the exact amount of time that Zhao Feng gave him.


    The precision stunned Xin Wuheng, and he couldn¡¯t help but turn serious.


    ¡°It¡¯s started.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel nervous at all. Instead, he felt anticipation.


    Lightly Micro Step!


    He used his agile speed and he was the first to attack. Lightly Micro Step was a peak high ranked martial art, but when used with Lightly Floating Ferry, it was on par with peak ranked martial arts.


    Every step that Zhao Feng took was light and agile as if he merged with the wind.


    Angry Dragon Fists!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t try any flashy tricks and he just hit a single simple punch. He knew that Xin Wuheng¡¯s senses far surpassed those of the same generation, trick moves did nothing to him.


    Angry Dragon Fists, middle ranked martial art, peak level!


    Xin Wuheng also performed a skill that had reached the peak level and the two heavily clashed together.


    _Hong!_


    The fists crashing together caused a shockwave. Facing Zhao Feng¡¯s fist, Xin Wuheng only shuddered, but he didn¡¯t move back.


    _Ceng!_


    Zhao Feng used the energy to spin in midair and he attacked once again.


    Breaking Wind Finger! Small Cloud Acupuncture Point!


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s eyes were sharp as he used two middle ranked martial arts of the peak level. Zhao Feng still used Angry Dragon Fists to counter him.


    _Tong! Tong¡­!_


    Taking these blows, Zhao Feng felt his arm turn numb. This was because the two skills Xin Wuheng used complimented one another, and when he suddenly changed his skill from Breaking Wind Finger to Small Cloud Acupuncture Point, it caught Zhao Feng off guard. Small Cloud Acupuncture Points specifically hit nerve points and had a certain countering effect towards body strengthening techniques.


    Angry Dragon Fists!


    Instead of retreating, Zhao Feng attacked. Xin Wuheng was surprised, he didn¡¯t think that Metal Wall Technique was so strong that his Small Cloud Acupuncture Point had almost no effect at all.


    Cloud Chess Step!


    Immediately, Xin Wuheng retreated, making those watching drop their draws in fright. Xin Wuheng had his own reasons as to why he retreated.


    One, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t get affected by his Small Cloud Hand skill much. Secondly, the aura and power in Zhao Feng¡¯s fist exceeded his expectations.


    Angry Dragon Fist!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s fist was like a fire dragon that came at him. The level of this fist had exceeded peak level!


    For the next two moves, Xin Wuheng was fully suppressed. However, it was lucky that he had Cloud Chess Step, which was extremely odd and unpredictable, allowing him to escape quickly.


    Cloud Chess Step! Lightly Micro Step!


    One of them was unpredictable, while the other was agile. The two figures exchanged more blows.


    In terms of speed and agility, Zhao Feng had the upper hand, but Xin Wuheng¡¯s Cloud Chess Step was just too unpredictable, as if it wasn¡¯t a skill but a trap.


    When Xin Wuheng moved forward a few steps, he may have been at a disadvantage. But it also could be a trap for him to sneak attack from.


    The sixth move¡­the seventh move¡­


    Xin Wuheng started to slowly gain the upper hand. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use his left eye purposely and because of of this, he got hit a few times. But since his Metal Wall Technique was at the fifth level instead of the peak fourth level, it blocked all the damage.


    Xin Wuheng also felt his opponent was tricky, his own senses were on par with Martial Masters, but he found out that he couldn¡¯t harm his opponent. One or two times when Xin Wuheng hit Zhao Feng¡¯s body, it was as if he was punching a metal brick.


    This extremely shocked him, Zhao Feng was indeed tricky. First, Zhao Feng had extremely fast reflexes and battle intuition. Secondly, his speed and fist defense skills were all powerful.


    Unless Xin Wuheng hit Zhao Feng¡¯s vitals, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t take real damage. Furthermore, Zhao Feng was fast. When he had sparred with Qiu Changyi before, he had already proven that his speed was top tier and not only that, Xin Wuheng felt that Zhao Feng could be even faster.


    The same reasons made Zhao Feng retreat sometimes as well.


    The eighth move¡­the ninth move¡­


    Those watching all stood dazed, from the beginning to now, no one had ever exchanged more than ten blows with Xin Wuheng.


    Zhao Chi exchanged six blows and Qiu Changyi exchanged seven blows. Even the one with the highest cultivation, Zhao Linlong, was defeated at ten moves.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng had exchanged nine blows. It was closing in on the tenth move.


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s eyes were like lightning as they surged out fighting will and he immediately used Cloud Chess Step and a few other skills. The middle ranked skills of the peak level had unimaginable power when used together.


    Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng immediately condensed his chi into his finger and lashed out a few times.


    _Tong! Tong! Tong!_


    Every finger could pierce metal boards. Under Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, every finger was fast, accurate, and powerful.


    The ninth move¡­the tenth move!


    Apart from the sounds of the two fighting, nothing else could be heard.


    ¡°Sweeping the Cloud and Winds!¡±


    Xin Wuheng swept his robe and a layer of rock below his feet was sent out in every direction. This was the move that had beaten Zhao Linlong!


    ¡°Third stance Star Finger!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s fingertip pierced through the air, leaving a azure streak behind as if it was a meteor.


    ¡°Impossible! How can his Star Finger be at the third level?¡± Zhao Linlong exclaimed.


    _Suuu¡ª¡ª-_


    The sharp finger collided with Xin Wuheng¡¯s robe.


    _Hoooongggggggg¡ª¡ª¡ª-_


    The dust slowly settled.


    The tenth move was done.


    Two figures stood side by side, neither of them moving¡­

 53 Battling Xin Wuheng

    * * *


    The tenth move!


    The geniuses watching all held their breaths as they stared intently at the two figures. In the midst of them, Zhao Linlong and Zhao Ling had extremely ugly expressions on their faces.


    ¡°Ten moves, how could he¡­?¡± Zhao Linlong¡¯s face flashed dangerously.


    From the beginning of the summit until now, only he could withstand ten blows from Xin Wuheng, even though he was defeated on the tenth move.


    But right now...


    The one that he looked down on in disdain could also exchange ten moves!


    Being the top genius of the Zhao sect, how could he let this happen? He was even more scared when he thought about the fact that Zhao Feng could win¡­


    ¡°How could this happen!?¡± Zhao Ling¡¯s face was sullen. He had bet many times with Zhao Feng, yet he had lost all of them. Zhao Feng¡¯s performance wasn¡¯t any weaker than the god in his heart ¨C Zhao Linlong.


    Not any weaker¡­better!


    The dust fell down and the two stood side by side. Both Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng¡¯s arms were intertwined as they both breathed rapidly.


    There was a nasty gash on Xin Wuheng¡¯s body which made him curl up his eyebrows in pain. On the other hand, Zhao Feng stood tall, although his shirt was ripped, he wasn¡¯t injured as his Metal Wall Technique had reached the fifth level.


    In terms of defense, he had Metal Wall Technique; in terms of speed, he had Lightly Floating Ferry; and in terms of offense, he had Star Finger. In every aspect, he was top tier.


    Ten moves without being defeated!


    The spectating youths broke out into a frenzy. Xin Wuheng¡¯s ten moves legend had finally been broken!


    There was someone who could exchange ten moves with him. This scene was like a heavy hammer smashing on Zhao Linlong and Zhao Ling¡¯s faces.


    Zhao Chi, Zhao Han, and Zhao Qin all had expressions of shock on their faces. Who would have imagined that there was such a black horse within in the Zhao family?


    No! He was a black horse a long time ago!


    From the outer disciples contest to the main tournament to the genius summit, Zhao Feng had been creating miracles.


    ¡°Too strong!¡± Happiness shone in Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Hmph! Before he said that he could exchange thirty, no¡­fifty moves!¡± Zhao Ling clenched his teeth and said unwillingly.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s performance was even better than Zhao Linlong¡¯s, he didn¡¯t want to bow down to him!


    ¡°Xin Wuheng, your so called ten moves must have some sort of connection with your Cloud Chess Step. With ten steps setting up a trap and using the smallest amount of energy to deal the most damage possible,¡± Zhao Feng said, smiling.


    ¡°You¡¯re right! You lasting ten moves means that your strength is at least on par with mine, or even stronger than mine.¡± A dangerous light flashed in Xin Wuheng¡¯s eyes.


    The two were eye to eye, either of them could attack immediately.


    ¡°Haha! You¡¯re being too humble if your cultivation is only at the peak fifth rank,¡± Zhao Feng said with deep meaning.


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s face suddenly became more solemn.


    Flaming Metal Fist!


    Zhao Feng attacked while Xin Wuheng was distracted. This time he didn¡¯t use Angry Dragon Fist or even Star Finger, he used the most basic skill ¨C Flaming Metal Fist!


    In the short gap, the most simple, fastest attack had the best effect. And Flaming Metal Fist was Zhao Feng¡¯s most used skill.


    But Xin Wuheng wasn¡¯t lacking either, his senses had exceeded the limits of the sixth rank and were was on par with Martial Masters. The instant Zhao Feng condensed his Inner Strength and threw out his fist, he reacted by throwing out his palm.


    _Peng!_


    The collision between the fist and the palm knocked Xin Wuheng backwards. Zhao Feng had trained Metal Wall Technique and so had the advantage on defense and power. The fact that he attacked first also made his punch stronger than Xin Wuheng¡¯s palm.


    Angry Dragon Fist!


    Zhao Feng pressed on since he was winning and his Inner Strength started to slowly rise to the peak fifth rank.


    After their first ten moves, Zhao Feng was pushing Xin Wuheng back!


    The spectators watched in fright. No one could have imagined that there would be another talented youngster who could fight Xin Wuheng.


    Eleven moves¡­twelve moves¡­thirteen moves¡­


    Zhao Feng held control for the first twenty moves. With his left eye, he saw that there was a slight injury inside Xin Wuheng¡¯s body, so he didn¡¯t give him any rest.


    Xin Wuheng had to retreat to gain some time to heal that slight internal injury, but since Zhao Feng knew that with his left eye, he didn¡¯t give Xin Wuheng any time to recover. The audience was stunned.


    Inside the Zhao family¡¯s pavilion...


    Zhao Linlong¡¯s face was extremely ugly and his two fist were tightly clenched. Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation wasn¡¯t even as high as his. Why could he fight on par with Xin Wuheng?


    *************


    _Under the big tree..._


    ¡°Zhe zhe, interesting. I can¡¯t believe that a small city like Sun Feather City would have two talented geniuses, the potential of these two could be ranked in the top five of Jun City,¡± one of the silver figures said.


    ¡°We must report this to My Lord in case these two are taken in by other factions¡­¡± the other one said cautiously.


    **************************


    In the middle of the stage, the two figures exchanged blows, but no one was able to decide the winner.


    Twenty moves¡­twenty-one moves¡­twenty-two moves¡­


    After twenty two moves, Xin Wuheng started to recover slowly. His Cloud Chess Step specialized in using slow and steady speed to counter fast speed. Furthermore, he restrained himself from clashing head on with Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was too strong in terms of pure strength, and once he used Star Finger, the damage dealt was on par with peak sixth rankers. This meant that even Zhao Linlong, who had reached the sixth rank, would be beaten. Therefore, Xin Wuheng had to retreat occasionally and win some time to rest.


    Thirty moves¡­thirty-five moves¡­


    Finally, on the thirty-fifth move, Xin Wuheng managed to slightly gain the upper hand.


    The battle became more intense and dangerous. Xin Wuheng would sometimes sneak attack and when he used with Cloud Chess Step, it made the sneak attacks even more unpredictable. But Zhao Feng¡¯s reflexes were unbelievably fast, and at the key moment he would see how Xin Wuheng would attack.


    ¡°How did he do this? Is he the same as me? Does he have the senses of a Martial Master?¡± Xin Wuheng thought curiously.


    Fifty moves¡­sixty moves¡­


    No one was winning!


    _Plop!_


    Zhao Ling fell helplessly to the ground, his face was pale. Before, he had bet with Zhao Feng that if he could manage to exchange ten moves, then he would lose.


    But at that time Zhao Feng had laughed. ¡°Ten moves is too little, at least thirty, no, fifty moves¡­ ¡±


    And at this moment, the two had exchanged over sixty moves with no signs of winning or losing.


    Sixty moves¡­seventy moves¡­


    The two¡¯s offense speed grew faster and faster. Finally, they reached eighty moves.


    Xin Wuheng took a deep breath and his ¡®One with the Heavens¡¯ aura became clearer and clearer. This aura was similar to the one from the shy girl at the canyon, but much fainter.


    Facing this aura, Zhao Feng felt like an ant. That feeling stopped him from breathing properly.


    After ninety moves, every attack Xin Wuheng sent out contained deep insights. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye slowly opened and a faint green-azure glow covered his eyeball. Suddenly he went into super-vision mode. Every movement Xin Wuheng made was now tens of times slower.


    _Shua!_


    Inside the pitch black dimension, a hollow figure of Xin Wuheng appeared and every action that he took was replayed back and forth. The hollow figure¡¯s actions contained deep insights and they were easier to understand than the girl¡¯s. Since he had already gained some insights from that Mysterious Wind Palm, Zhao Feng immediately learned this aura.


    _Open!_


    Zhao Feng suddenly merged his Lightly Floating Ferry, Lightly Micro Step and Flaming Metal Fist into one. An aura similar to Xin Wuheng¡¯s appeared on his body.


    _Pah¡ª-_


    Zhao Feng thrust a palm out at Xin Wuheng.


    _Teng teng teng¡­_


    Xin Wuheng retreated, his face full of shock. ¡°What!? His palm¡­¡±


    He had a weird feeling that the aura from Zhao Feng¡¯s palm was stolen from him. If that was true, then it would be too terrifying¡­


    Xin Wuheng took a deep breath and condensed his Inner Strength. His senses were on par with Martial Masters, and his condensing speed and strength far surpassed sixth rankers. This meant that any cultivator under the sixth rank couldn¡¯t beat Xin Wuheng in terms of Inner Strength. This was also why he could beat Zhao Linlong.


    But he didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye had kept track of all his Inner Strength and blood flow changes.


    _So it¡¯s like this¡­_


    Zhao Feng quickly gained more understanding of that aura.


    Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s finger stabbed through the air and this time it was even more powerful than before. Star Finger was also about condensing Inner Strength. After he learned how Xin Wuheng condensed his chi, Zhao Feng¡¯s Star Finger pushed forwards slightly.


    ¡°Fantastic! Star Finger is closing in on the peak third level.¡± He really wanted to thank Xin Wuheng.


    First, he had gained some insight to that mysterious aura. Second,he had learned how to condense Inner Strength more efficiently.


    Ninety-one moves¡­ninety-two moves¡­


    Zhao Feng fought more and more bravely.


    Although Xin Wuheng wasn¡¯t losing, he wasn¡¯t gaining the upper hand either. What made him turn cold was Zhao Feng¡¯s potential, he could feel Zhao Feng getting stronger and stronger.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s aura and Inner Strength were almost completely similar to his.


    What kind of person was this guy!?


    Xin Wuheng couldn¡¯t help but admit that he had met his nemesis. His specialty was enlightenment, yet his opponent¡¯s understanding speed was even faster than his.


    Ninety-five moves¡­ninety-six moves¡­


    They were closing in on one hundred moves. Everyone present held their breath, their eyes were full of anticipation and excitement for the end result. According to the rules, when they exchanged one-hundred moves the geniuses and hosting person would decide the winner.


    However, at the ninety-ninth move -


    _Teng!_


    Xin Wuheng spun and jumped tens of meters into the air. ¡°It ends here!¡±


    * * *

 54 Four Great Geniuses Ranking

    ¡°It ends here!¡±


    Everyone looked on in anticipation, wondering what kind of killing move Xin Wuheng had.


    Zhao Feng was also full of anticipation as he slowly circulated his Inner Strength.


    In terms of offense, he had Star Finger and his strongest stance, One line Star Finger, hadn¡¯t been used yet. In terms of defense, his Metal Wall Technique had reached the fifth level, all attacks under the seventh rank wouldn¡¯t be critical to him. Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s real cultivation was at the sixth rank.


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s face was like water, but then he slowly put his hands down and his Inner Strength stopped condensing.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    ¡°I admit defeat,¡± Xin Wuheng said expressionlessly.


    Admit defeat?


    Why?


    Chaos broke out in the audience, most of them were confused.


    Xin Wuheng admitted defeat?


    Even some of the older generation dropped their jaws. No one would have expected Xin Wuheng to admit defeat on the ninety-ninth move.


    After all from the current situation, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng both had equal chances of winning.


    ¡°He¡­ he beat Xin Wuheng?¡± Zhao Ling sat helplessly on the ground as he stared into the air dazedly.


    He had finally realized what kind of monster he had aggravated. Zhao Feng had not only surpassed the top genius of the sect, Zhao Linlong, he had even made the top genius of Sun Feather City admit defeat.


    ¡°No, you haven¡¯t lost,¡± Zhao Feng said formally as he looked deeply at Xin Wuheng.


    His left eye could sense Xin Wuheng¡¯s the Inner Strength and blood flow, Zhao Feng could see that Wuheng¡¯s Inner Strength was even stronger than Zhao Linlong¡¯s.


    Therefore, Xin Wuheng¡¯s cultivation wasn¡¯t at the peak fifth rank. His real cultivation was at the peak sixth rank! Peak sixth rank!


    He had already crushed all of the geniuses of Sun Feather City under his feet. From the first time he had inspected Xin Wuheng, Zhao Feng had thought, This person isn¡¯t simple¡­


    Obviously, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t fear Xin Wuheng with his real cultivation. He not only had strong cultivation himself, he also had the help of his left eye, which gave him confidence of not losing.


    ¡°There¡¯s no point in continuing our battle,¡± Xin Wuheng shook his head.


    He didn¡¯t lose, but the reason he said so was because his real cultivation and killing moves would be seen by others.


    There was also two more reasons. First, he was older than Zhao Feng by two years and he didn¡¯t want to use this advantage to beat him. Second, Xin Wuheng¡¯s aura and techniques had been stolen by Zhao Feng. From Xin Wuheng¡¯s point of view, Zhao Feng was a monster, to show more tricks would only benefit Zhao Feng.


    ¡°How about we call it a draw?¡± Qiu Mengyu asked as the host.


    Draw?


    Zhao Feng looked towards Xin Wuheng and the two nodded their heads simultaneously.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Zhao Feng agreed, and didn¡¯t forcefully continue their sparring.


    After all, according to the rules, the battle wasn¡¯t going to last any longer than one hundred moves.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting for our next battle,¡± Xin Wuheng said, smiling.


    After he finished his words, he immediately left the summit. The whole scene confused many people.


    Was Xin Wuheng leaving halfway through?


    No one knew that after Xin Wuheng left, he would never appear in Sun Feather City again¡­


    His existence slowly faded away. Only much later did Zhao Feng meet him again...


    *****************************


    The summit continued, but Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng¡¯s battle had pushed everything to a climax. The sparring matches afterwards had lost their flavor.


    Now, the four great geniuses finally had their rankings.


    First place: Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.


    Third place: Zhao Linlong.


    Fourth place: Qiu Mengyu.


    At this point, there shouldn¡¯t have been any disagreements, but this summit didn¡¯t have just one black horse.


    ¡°This one Zhao Yufei would like to see your skills.¡± Zhao Yufei was like a clear lotus, pure and holy. She immediately attracted the attention of many youths.


    Discussion broke out.


    Zhao Yufei had reached the fifth rank at such a young age. Her potential was only inferior to Zhao Feng¡¯s, but Zhao Feng understood that all the credit went to his left eye. If he hadn¡¯t received his eye, Zhao Yufei would certainly have been the most talented in the Zhao family. Even Zhao Linlong didn¡¯t reach her level at the same age.


    Furthermore, Zhao Yufei came from a branch sect and in terms of resources, she was far inferior to Zhao Linlong.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡± From the Xin family came a youth of the fifth rank.


    This person was Xin Chen, ranked second in the Xin family, behind Xin Wuheng and in front of Xin Tong. He had only lost to Zhao Linlong and Qiu Mengyu before. In terms of strength, Xin Chen was on par with Zhao Chi, just one step behind the four great geniuses.


    ¡°Butterfly Leaf Palm!¡±


    Zhao Yufei was as light as the wind and her palm was extremely soft and delicate. As she attacked, she immediately used her high ranked martial art Butterfly Leaf Palm which had almost reached the peak level.


    _Pah! Pah! Pah¡­_


    The two figures crossed. Zhao Yufei was graceful and delicate. After exchanging ten moves, Zhao Yufei had gained the upper hand. In terms of damage, she was only on par with Zhao Chi, but her Inner Strength skill was Air Crossing Breathing Technique, which was far superior to Xin Chen¡¯s.


    Air Crossing Breathing Technique buffed up her speed and offense skills and when the skills were used together, she could easily defeat others of the same rank.


    Thirty moves later, Zhao Yufei¡¯s power had increased once again. Her palm was soft yet hard and from the battle, she seemed to gain more insights.


    ¡°She¡¯s also trained a high ranked body strengthening technique like Qiu Mengyu.¡± Xin Tong was shocked.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s body strengthening technique wasn¡¯t any weaker than Metal Wall Technique, but it was more suitable for women.


    ¡°She had great potential and she has probably hidden her true strength.¡± Zhao Feng suddenly remembered the mysterious one-armed old man. That the old man could take out a high ranked skill such as Metal Wall Technique was incredible.


    Thirty moves later, Zhao Yufei¡¯s attacked wave after wave, and she finally defeated Xin Chen.


    Zhao Yufei won! There was another black horse this time.


    Zhao Yufei rested a while and then, she proceeded to challenge Qiu Changyi. Qiu Changyi was one of the four great geniuses, and although he wasn¡¯t going to be number one this year, he was still strong.


    Flowing Feather Step!


    Flowing Feather Flying Cloud!


    Qiu Changyi used his two speed skills, which had both reached the peak level. Only Zhao Feng could catch up to him in terms of speed.


    ¡°Cloud Leaf Ferry!¡± Zhao Yufei¡¯s skill suddenly changed as she used a skill that had never been seen before. Instantly, her body turned as light as a leaf as she flipped in midair.


    ¡°Cloud Leaf Ferry? What kind of skill is it? It¡¯s not any worse than my Lightly Floating Ferry!¡± Zhao Feng was shocked.


    He had finally realized that he was too rushed in exchanging Air Crossing Breathing Technique for Metal Wall Technique. Maybe it was a good deal, but Air Crossing Breathing Technique suited Zhao Yufei perfectly. This new skill was even more profound than Air Crossing Breathing Technique.


    Just as Zhao Feng sighed, the situation changed. Qiu Changyi was losing!


    In terms of speed, Qiu Changyi didn¡¯t have the advantage since Zhao Yufei had Cloud Leaf Step.


    Fifty-some moves later, Qiu Changyi was defeated. After beating Qiu Changyi, Zhao Yufei would only need to defeat the ones one step higher to become one of the four great geniuses.


    Finally, the summit was coming to an end.


    At this time, Zhao Yufei challenged Qiu Mengyu. The battle between the two beautiful girls once again pushed the summit to a climax. Zhao Yufei kept on using Cloud Leaf Ferry to counter Qiu Mengyu.


    One hundred moves later, the two decided on a draw, once again causing chaos.


    The four great geniuses had changed to the five great geniuses: Xin Wuheng, Zhao Feng, Zhao Linlong, Qiu Mengyu, and Zhao Yufei.


    The Zhao family had three of the five great geniuses positions, giving the Qiu and Xin family a lot of pressure. Qiu Mengyu and Qiu Changyi looked at each other and they saw the worry in in each other¡¯s eyes. The geniuses of the Zhao family were just too terrifying. Apart from Zhao Linlong, there was also Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s rise was a miracle, he was the first to equal Xin Wuheng. But Xin Wuheng was older than Zhao Feng, so in terms of talent and strength, Zhao Feng was first.


    ¡°Mengyu!¡± Behind the stage, an old man in gray robes called for her attention.


    ¡°Elder,¡± Qiu Mengyu said respectfully.


    ¡°There¡¯s something I want you to do, this is really important¡­¡± the gray-robed man said softly.


    ******************


    The summit finally ended.


    The geniuses of the Zhao sect walked out of their pavilion and were beginning to head downhill. Many looked at Zhao Feng with fear and admiration, but there was also jealously and hate.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, don¡¯t think that you¡¯re the best just because you came first. I didn¡¯t even use my true killing move this time,¡± Zhao Linlong said coldly as he stared at Zhao Feng in an arrogant and confident manner.

 55 Guanjun Corps, Invite from beauty

    His real killing move?


    Zhao Linlong¡¯s words shocked the others. Zhao Feng connected that claim with the third level of the Martial Arts Library. That day, he had seen Zhao Linlong enter the third level. But at the summit, Zhao Linlong had only used his Spatial Cloud Finger. If he had a real killing move, then why didn¡¯t he use it?


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips. The only explanation was that the gains Zhao Linlong had received from the third level of the martial arts library hadn¡¯t been fully digested.


    ********************************


    _Under a certain tree..._


    The two silver clothed figures had seen the entire show.


    ¡°Remember, the Xin and Zhao family both have one great genius each. Now go and report this to Our Lord¡­¡± one of the silver figures said.


    _Shua!_


    The two silver shadows merged into the night.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡±


    The two had only moved a couple hundred meters before a powerful shout echoed out.


    _Teng!_


    A gray robed elder landed on the ground as he eyes stared at the two mysterious people.


    ¡°Hehe, I can¡¯t believe I was seen by a Martial Master of the seventh rank! Seventeenth, you can go and practise your skills,¡± one of the silver figures lightly laughed as he left.


    ¡°Hmph! Who dares intrude on the important grounds of the Qiu family!?¡± The gray robed elders¡¯ eyes were sharp as he sent out a palm.


    _Beng!_


    A green glow sliced through the air, its sound as long as thunder. Under that pressure, the trees and rocks around it were shattered.


    Transformation Strength, long ranged attacks through the air!


    This was the symbol of a Martial Master. The power of that palm could easily crush a cultivator of the fourth or fifth rank at a distance.


    ¡°Petty tricks!¡± The silver figure that remained behind lifted one hand slowly and pointed one finger at the glow.


    _Shua¡ª-_


    A dark azure chi was shot out, and like a spear, it pierced through the old man¡¯s attack.


    In the next instant, the two figures exchanged blows as fast as lightning, cultivators of the sixth rank wouldn¡¯t even be able to react.


    _Peng¡ª¨C_


    A massive hole appeared where they fought, clouding the area up in dust. The power from these two people were comparable to high tier deadly beasts.


    _Wah!_


    The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face was pale. ¡°Who are you!? Don¡¯t you fear being pursued by the Qiu family?¡±


    The Qiu family was after all one of the three great families of Sun Feather City. It had huge power among all the factions within a thousand kilometer radius of Sun Feather City.


    ¡°Qiu family? A single thought from my master could easily destroy a family clan like yours,¡± the silver figure snickered as he merged into the darkness as well.


    ¡°Where could have those two come from? They seem to be wearing¡­not good! Could they be from the rumoured Guanjun Corps¡­?¡± The elder drew in a cold breath.


    Guanjun Corps!


    These words made his heart jump. Sun Feather City was only a small city in the Cloud Country. And the Qiu family was only one of the forces in Sun Feather City.


    Sun Feather City was one of the 12 small cities under was the Guanlu province¡¯s watch. The Guanjun Corps were the elite troops of Guanlu province. From the beginning of time, the Guanjun Corps were only a legend, as it had never been proven that they ever existed.


    It was rumored the Guanjun Corps had eighteen guards and each guard had at least reached the Martial Master rank.


    ¡°It looks like the Guanjun Corps came to see genius summit, but what was their reason? Could it be they¡¯re under orders from that ¡®person¡¯?¡±


    The gray robed elder was uncertain because he understood what the Guanjun Corps stood for. To destroy a family clan such as the Qiu family, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.


    ******************


    The summit had ended.


    Youths left in groups of three to five. The seven from the Zhao family walked down in silence. On the way, Zhao Linlong¡¯s face was extremely grim and no one dared to anger him further.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t mind as he was focused on another place. His left eye had just seen a breath-taking battle miles away. It was the face-off between the Guanjun Corps and the elder from the Qiu family.


    The elder from the Qiu family had reached the seventh rank, all of his moves could attack through the air. The power of those moves could instantly kill hundreds of those below the seventh rank.


    ¡°Is that the strength of Martial Masters? If they¡¯re so strong at the seventh rank, then I wonder how powerful cultivators of the eighth and ninth rank are¡­¡±


    Just as they were about to go down the hill, a few disciples of the Qiu family stopped them. The one at the front was a girl around his age.


    ¡°Young master Zhao Feng, please stop,¡± the girl said.


    Hm?


    Zhao Feng looked weirdly at those Qiu family disciples.


    ¡°My mistress wishes to see you.¡±


    Your mistress? Zhao Feng was slightly confused.


    ¡°My mistress is the organizer of the Summit ¨C Qiu Mengyu,¡± the girl said, smiling.


    Qiu Mengyu? The most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City?


    The other youths were all shocked, their expressions turned to jealousy. Some talented youths used thousands of ways just to see her, yet none of them were able to receive a personal invitation from her like Zhao Feng had, what kind of status was this?


    Qiu Mengyu wasn¡¯t just a genius of the Qiu family or the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City, she was also the next head of the Qiu family as well!


    ¡°Sure.¡± Zhao Feng thought for a second, and then nodded his head.


    After all, Qiu Mengyu was the organizer of the Summit and he had to save face for her.


    ¡°Please follow me.¡± The servant bowed and led the way.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Zhao Yufei mouth twitched as she watched Zhao Feng leave.


    ¡°Could it be that Qiu Mengyu likes Zhao Feng?¡± Zhao Chi was slightly surprised.


    There was some reasoning to it. This time Zhao Feng had shocked everyone as he took first place with Xin Wuheng. What made it even more important was that Zhao Feng was younger, hence his potential was higher.


    Qiu Mengyu may have seen this potential and tried to invite him to their side.


    ¡°He dares!¡± Zhao Linlong laughed coldly.


    Everyone knew that the Qiu family and the Zhao family were enemies. If Zhao Feng went over to the Qiu family, it wouldn¡¯t be as simple as betrayal.


    ******************


    Following the servant, Zhao Feng once again returned to the summit.


    ¡°Please.¡± The girl led Zhao Feng to a beautiful, yet simple bamboo house.


    Zhao Feng soon saw the beautiful figure. Just her figure alone sped men¡¯s heart up. Qiu Mengyu was like a half ripe fruit where Zhao Yufei was like a bud.


    Facing the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City Zhao Feng stared dazed for only a second before his heart became as still as water again. Being a youth of fourteen years, this was very unusual, as most adults would find it hard to resist Qiu Mengyu.


    Qiu Mengyu sighed within her heart. He was so young and not only was he powerful, his self-restraint was incredible as well.


    ¡°Please sit.¡±


    Qiu Mengyu walked in front of him. At this moment, the two were only inches away.


    Zhao Feng could clearly feel Qiu Mengyu¡¯s fragrance, breathing, and body heat. Normal men would probably find it hard to restrain themselves. Furthermore, Qiu Mengyu personally poured tea for him, every move she made was elegance defined.


    Zhao Feng casually took the cup and as expected, he touched Qiu Mengyu¡¯s finger. It was a dream for other youths to stand next this girl, but Zhao Feng remained expressionless.


    Truthfully, if he was to size up Qiu Mengyu, distance didn¡¯t really matter for him as he could check her out with his left eye from miles away.


    If Zhao Feng was willing, he could half-see through stuff. Obviously, Qiu Mengyu didn¡¯t know this or she¡¯d be trying to avoid him, instead of inviting him here.


    ¡°Young master Zhao Feng¡¯s fame will soon spread in Sun Feather City¡­¡± Qiu Mengyu¡¯s voice was as soft as rain.


    Zhao Feng asked her a few questions politely, but he thought in his heart: Why did Qiu Mengyu want to see him?


    He was young, so he didn¡¯t know much about the differences between boys and girls. Therefore, he didn¡¯t fall for Qiu Mengyu¡¯s smile.


    His left eye also made Zhao Feng calm and he was able to restrain himself from desire. Their talk only consisted of Qiu Mengyu asking and Zhao Feng answering.


    Zhao Feng acted like a block head. Qiu Mengyu couldn¡¯t help but wonder whether or not she just wasn¡¯t appealing enough, or if his age was too young. Zhao Feng¡¯s performance made her well- planned beauty trick fail.


    ¡°Young master Zhao, do you have the intention to enter our Qiu family? The Qiu family can satisfy all your desires including martial arts, silver, women¡­¡± As she said this Qiu Mengyu¡¯s godly figure was almost pressing onto Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng immediately turned alert and put a distance between them. Thinking for awhile, he finally realized Qiu Mengyu¡¯s intentions. Qiu Mengyu¡¯s face turned red. She felt helpless against a youth who didn¡¯t know much about sex.


    ¡°Thanks for your good intentions, but my path isn¡¯t limited to just Sun Feather City,¡± Zhao Feng said deeply as he slowly rose up.


    His path wasn¡¯t limited to Sun Feather City! Qiu Mengyu¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but tremble as she watched the youth leave. In her sight, the young man seemed to suddenly become more attractive...

 56 Metal Wall Rebound

    Sending away Zhao Feng with her eyes, Qiu Mengyu lost herself in her thoughts. From the surface, Zhao Feng seemed like a young fourteen year-old youth, but the cold calm and perception in his eyes didn¡¯t seem human. Even Zhao Feng himself didn¡¯t realize that his bloodline as well as attitude had changed with the eye merging¡­


    _Teng!_


    A scholarly clothed youth landed next to Qiu Mengyu, it was Qiu Changyi!


    ¡°Mengyu, did that kid leave so fast? Did the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City fail?¡± Qiu Changyi was slightly surprised.


    ¡°I failed¡­he doesn¡¯t seem like a normal youth.¡± Qiu Mengyu shook her head.


    Suddenly an old voice spoke up, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mengyu, I never expected it to work anyway.¡± A gray-robed elder appeared behind the two of them.


    ¡°Elder,¡± the two immediately greeted the old man.


    The summit obviously had an elder overseeing the event, and that elder was this old man. Not long ago, he had fought with the mysterious Guanjun Corps, therefore his face was slightly pale.


    ¡°Mengyu, you¡¯ve already succeeded at delaying him for half the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The second resolution has already been set up.¡± Killing intent shone within the elder¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Are you really going to do this?¡± Unwillingness appeared on Qiu Mengyu¡¯s face.


    ¡°His potential is just too great. Once the Zhao family becomes too strong, the Qiu family will be destroyed,¡± the old man said.


    ¡°But Elder! If Zhao Feng dies, the Zhao family will link it to the Qiu family.¡± Qiu Chanyi was somewhat hesitant.


    ¡°Hehe, dead geniuses have no value at all. Furthermore, he¡¯s only from a branch sect and our plan is perfect. Zhao Feng will not die near the Qiu family¡¯s grounds¡­¡± A mysterious smile appeared on the grey robed elder¡¯s face.


    _Shua!_


    As he said that his figure disappeared into the darkness, his speed was twice as fast as Qiu Changyi¡¯s.


    ¡°So unfortunate.¡± Qiu Mengyu and Qiu Changyi looked at each with sympathy in their eyes.


    ***********************************


    Zhao Feng walked by himself down the hill again. At this time, the summit had ended so there weren¡¯t that many people on the way. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know why, but he had an uneasy feeling, as if he was being watched. A killing intent made his left eye twitch.


    _Hm?_


    Zhao Feng silently opened his left eye. Suddenly, a faint azure light appeared in his eye. In the darkness, it was even more beautiful. Zhao Feng went into enhanced-vision mode again. The pitch black night was as clear as day to him. He could see everything in a fifteen kilometer radius. If it had been daytime, the distance would have doubled.


    The feeling of these super senses gave him confidence and calmness.


    _Shua!_


    Under his scan, Zhao Feng suddenly saw a figure on a tree a few hundred feet away. That figure wore a grey robe and blended in well with the tree, normal people wouldn¡¯t sense him at all. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye saw clearly who the person was.


    It¡¯s him!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped! He had seen this grey robed elder before, it was this person who fought the mysterious silver figure before.


    _Not good! This person¡¯s probably an elder of the Qiu family and he probably wants to kill me!_ , Zhao Feng¡¯s mind raced.


    His performance was just too outstanding, therefore even the high levels of the Qiu family had started to notice him.


    _Luckily, I hid my real cultivation._


    Zhao Feng pretended he saw nothing at all and he used normal speed to return to the Zhao family. He was now getting closer and closer to the Zhao families territory. Zhao Feng felt weird, why wasn¡¯t the opponent attacking?


    He opened his super vision once again and surveyed his surroundings. There was a remote area ten kilometers into the Zhao sect¡¯s territory. Zhao Feng knew that this was the last and only place they would attack.


    Why would they attack near the Zhao family territory?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind spun and he immediately knew the answer.


    If Zhao Feng died near the summit, this would obviously cause the suspicions of the Zhao family and they would put the blame on the Qiu family as the summit was within the the Qiu family¡¯s territory. The Qiu family¡¯s¡¯ plan was to let Zhao Feng die in the Zhao sect¡¯s own territory. This way, the Zhao sect would have no proof and evidence to blame others.


    _What a smart plan!_


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Inner Strength and sprinted towards the front gate of the Zhao family.


    ¡°I just need to reach the grounds near the Zhao family. There¡¯ll be many guards there and the Qiu family won¡¯t have the guts to kill me then¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng came to a decision. Thinking to this point, his speed increased quickly.


    ¡°This brat hid his real cultivation! His speed is even faster than Changyi¡¯s¡­¡± The grey robed elders¡¯ speed also increased as he gave chase.


    Six kilometers¡­five km¡­four km¡­


    Zhao Feng was getting closer and closer to the front gate.


    _Sou Sou Sou¡ª-_


    Suddenly, two figures came out from the front gate of the Zhao sect. From what they were wearing, they seemed to be from the Zhao sect. For Zhao Feng, this was good news as the person behind would have to be wary of these two. His left eye scanned over the two¡¯s faces. The two were both middle aged and their cultivation had both reached the sixth rank.


    One of the faces was extremely familiar.


    ¡°It¡¯s him! Zhao Tianjian¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised. One of the two cultivators of the sixth rank was Zhao Yijian¡¯s father, Zhao Tianjian! Zhao Tianjian and the other person casually came towards Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng instantly felt uneasy. If it was anyone else, then he wouldn¡¯t be suspicious, but with one of them being Zhao Tianjian, it immediately put him on alert.


    ¡°Stop him, then kill him as fast as possible!¡± Zhao Tianjian said to the other sixth rank warrior.


    As it was night and there was still quite a distance between the two, Zhao Tianjian didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng had already seen his face.


    _Sou!_


    The elder behind suddenly increased speed as the two groups came from front and back. Zhao Feng felt the danger emitted from the elder. He wasn¡¯t scared of Zhao Tianjian and friend, but Feng was extremely wary of the Qiu family¡¯s elder. The elder of the Qiu family had reached the seventh rank; he wasn¡¯t a Martial Artist anymore, he was a Martial Master!


    Lightly Floating Ferry!


    Zhao Feng figure suddenly increased yet again.


    _What speed!_


    Zhao Tianjian and his friend¡¯s expressions changed as they two split up in two different directions, blocking off Zhao Feng¡¯s path. If they couldn¡¯t quickly kill Zhao Feng, their identities would be found out.


    If the fish didn¡¯t die, it would be because the net had broken! (Meaning one of them must die)


    _Kill!_


    The two people from the Zhao family attacked Zhao Feng at the same time.


    Cold Flowing Sword!


    Zhao Tianjian¡¯s blade immediately blazed with a cold light. Zhao Feng obviously knew how strong Cold Flowing Sword was, as he had fought with Zhao Yijian before who had also used this skill. But this time, Zhao Tianjian¡¯s Cold Flowing Sword had reached the peak level and with his cultivation in the late stages of the sixth rank, the attack was even more deadly.


    Emperor Wind Fist!


    From the side came a deep whistling sound, the other middle aged man was attacking at the same time. Two peak sixth ranks fighting a fifth rank, this was obviously unfair. Furthermore, there was still the killing move of the Qiu family elder! Once an accident happened, the elder would be able to settle it with his seventh rank strength.


    Lightly Floating Ferry! Lightly Micro Step!


    Zhao Feng circulated these two skills to its max and he just barely managed to dodge the attacks.


    First Stance of Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s aura suddenly rose to the sixth rank.


    _Shua!¡ª¡ª_


    An azure light was like a meteor as it flashed by and hit Zhao Tianjian¡¯s sword.


    _Dang~_


    Zhao Tianjian only felt his arm turn numb and his blade snap in half. At the same time, a wild chi smashed into his body.


    _Wah!_


    Zhao Tianjian immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood and his expression turned nasty. ¡°Star Finger¡­how could you have learned that? And your cultivation¡­¡±


    Star Finger!


    This was the best of the best peak ranked martial arts. Once it was used, nothing could withstand it. Even Zhao Tianjian of the peak sixth rank had received internal injuries from blocking this skill head on.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Zhao Feng once again attacked and although these moves weren¡¯t his killing move, Star Finger still added injuries to Zhao Tianjian.


    Emperor Wind Fist!


    The other sixth rank crept up from behind to save Zhao Tianjian. The two had never imagined that Zhao Feng¡¯s real cultivation was at the sixth rank and that he had learned Star Finger. If Zhao Feng wanted to kill Zhao Tianjian right now, he would have to take the attack from behind head on.


    Die!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t care about the attack from behind at all and he used Star Finger once again. The faint azure light was beautiful in the night.


    _Pu!_


    The finger hit his target.


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± Zhao Tianjian¡¯s body froze as a hole appeared in his chest.


    _Plop!_


    The life of a cultivator of the sixth rank ended right there. This was due to the fact that Star Finger was just too strong, and Zhao Feng¡¯s Metal Wall Technique added more power to this skill.


    Emperor Wind Fist!


    At the same time, the full out attack from other sixth rank warrior had reached his body.


    _Pah!_


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t dodge at all, the best he could do was shift his body so his vitals weren¡¯t hit.


    _Bam!_


    As the fist hit Zhao Feng, the middle aged man¡¯s expression turned into one of relief and joy. The Qiu family elder far away had a smile on his face too, it was a worthy trade if they killed Zhao Feng in exchange for Zhao Tianjian.


    ¡°Metal Wall Rebound!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed as he gathered all his chi and put it into Metal Wall Technique. His whole body was like a metal shield as it rebuffed the attack.


    _Craaaack!_


    Blood leaked from the middle aged man¡¯s mouth as he felt a powerful vibration travel through his arm.


    _Teng! Teng! Teng¡­_


    The person groaned in pain as he was pushed back.

 57 Fourth Level of Star Finger

    Metal Wall Rebound!


    The sudden change shocked the grey robed elder. Metal Wall Technique was pretty unpopular amongst the body strengthening techniques, as most cultivators could only train it to the fourth level.


    However, Zhao Feng had trained it to the fifth level. The fifth level of Metal Wall Technique meant that not only did his defense greatly increase, it also had a certain rebound effect. If this was in a brawl, Zhao Feng only needed to use this move and he could instantly reflect the attacks from cultivators of the fourth and fifth rank back, and seriously injure them.


    The middle aged man never thought that Zhao Feng had this move. Zhao Feng¡¯s strong body had shaken off his attack and he had received light injuries from the rebound.


    Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng used his strongest move the instant his opponent was dazed.


    _Shua¡ª-_


    A faint green light came and pierced into the middle aged man¡¯s body.


    _Plop!_


    Another cultivator of the sixth rank had his life ended. Disbelief and shock was on the grey robed elder¡¯s face as he watched the scene from far way.


    Lightly Floating Ferry!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hesitate at all as he used his speed skill to sprint towards the front gate of the Zhao family. At this moment, there was only three kilometers left and with his speed, he only needed a short while.


    ¡°Brat! Where are you running¡­!¡± the grey robed elder exclaimed as he turned into a blur, chasing after him at an even higher speed.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s speed skill was extremely profound, the person pursuing him was a Martial Master. The Martial Path was split into nine ranks, with each three ranks having a big difference. Cultivators of the fourth to sixth rank were named Martial Artists, and the cultivators of the seventh to ninth rank were known as Martial Masters.


    The difference between the two was like a cliff.


    Zhao Feng circulated Lightly Floating Ferry to the maximum, but he still felt the wind behind him getting closer and closer.


    _So fast!_


    Zhao Feng estimated that the opponent¡¯s speed was at least double his. Fifteen breaths later, the grey robed elder was within ten meters of Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng took a deep breath and pushed Air Crossing Breathing Technique to the limit. In this situation, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was over ten percent faster than usual. His Lightly Floating Ferry just needed a bit more perfection to reach the high level.


    ¡°He must be eliminated!¡± The elder¡¯s heart shook as he saw Zhao Feng¡¯s potential.


    If a genius like him lived, he would be able to become one of the strongest people in Sun Feather City within ten years.


    _Close! It¡¯s getting close¡­_


    There were only two kilometers between Zhao Feng and the gate now. But at the same time, the gray- robed elder was getting closer, too.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    The gray-robed elder sent out a palm that glowed gold. As he did so, a wave of air attacked Zhao Feng. Being a Martial Master, the grey robed elder didn¡¯t need to fight in close combat as he could attack through the air.


    _Puuu!_


    The wave of air hit Zhao Feng first.


    ¡°Lightly Floating Spatial Ferry!¡± Zhao Feng suddenly jumped.


    _Teng!_


    He jumped again and used the wave of air as a booster.


    ¡°What!?¡± The grey robed elder¡¯s attack had missed.


    Run!


    Zhao Feng started to scream for help as he ran, hoping to attract attention.


    ¡°Die! Double-jumping¡­I can do it too!¡± The grey robed elder double-jumped in midair after him. Being one of the elders of the Qiu family, he naturally had access to peak rank speed skills, and he had trained them to the high level.


    _Teng! Teng!_


    Zhao Feng obviously wasn¡¯t someone who would wait for his death and at the important moment, he managed to triple-jump. But this way, the two became closer. The two figures landed on the ground at almost the same time.


    ¡°Cloud Slash Palm!¡±


    The gray-robed elder attacked again, the shockwave alone could instantly kill cultivators of the fifth rank.


    _Poof!_


    Zhao Feng used Metal Wall Technique to block instantly, but even then, he was injured. If it was someone else of the sixth rank, they probably would¡¯ve been instantly crippled. The distance attacks of Martial Masters of the seventh rank were slightly weakened as the power had left the body. But if one reached the eighth rank, the ranged attack would be be on par with the damage they dealt in close combat. According to the legends, if one reached the ninth rank, ranged attacks would be even stronger than melee attacks.


    It was lucky that the elder was only of the seventh rank and not the eighth. After Zhao Feng took another hit head on, he used the aftershock to push him forward again.


    ¡°Cloud Opening the Mountains!¡±


    At this instant, the grey robed old man sent a devastatingly powerful palm at Zhao Feng. This attack was undodgeable. If it was someone else of the sixth rank within Sun Feather City, they would lose at least half their life, if not all. Under the pressure, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye was pushed to its limits. In his eye, the movement of the elder became slower and slower, even the changes in his body were seen by Zhao Feng.


    Even the small flaws of the elder were seen by him.


    Mysterious Wind Palm!


    At the critical moment, Zhao Feng used a weird move.


    _Hu~_


    Zhao Feng suddenly gave off the One with the Heavens aura. At that moment, the scene of the girl using that move appeared in the pitch black dimension of his left eye again. The fact that he had copied Xin Wuheng¡¯s One with the Heavens aura made Zhao Feng gain more insights into the palm.


    What kind of move is this? The gray-robed elder felt his opponent¡¯s palm had a natural yet incomprehensible feeling.


    Mysterious Wind Palm!


    Zhao Feng leapt into the air and an azure glow formed within his palm as he attacked. The palm seemed to have originated from nature itself.


    Cloud Opening the Mountains!


    The two attacks collided heavily.


    _Peng!_


    A massive hole was left where the two moves clashed. Zhao Feng felt an uncontrolled and surprisingly powerful chi rush into his body, even the fifth level of Metal Wall Technique wasn¡¯t able to stop it. The true difference between them was cultivation level.


    _Wah!_


    Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, but still used the remaining energy to push him further out.


    ¡°How¡­?¡± The elder¡¯s face turned white as blood leaked out of his mouth. If there was a spectator, they would¡¯ve been stunned, because a Martial Master of the seventh rank had just been injured by a sixth rank youth.


    In terms of power, Zhao Feng¡¯s palm just then wouldn¡¯t have surpassed Star Finger, but the profoundness of the skill had exceeded the limits of peak ranked martial arts. There was a certain suppressing power between martial art ranks. Above peak ranked martial arts were Holy martial arts, and the difference between the two was like the earth and sky.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Mysterious Wind Palm had surpassed the elder¡¯s attack in terms of profoundness. This was one of the advantages he had. Another one was that Zhao Feng¡¯s Metal Wall Technique had reached the fifth level, making his defense stronger than the elder¡¯s. The last advantage Zhao Feng had was that the elder had been injured when fighting the silver figure, and Zhao Feng had seen the injuries the elder had sustained and hit those points exactly.


    Therefore, the elder had been injured and if he didn¡¯t rest or heal himself, there was a risk of him dying.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­we¡¯ll meet later!¡± Zhao Feng laughed as he sprinted towards the front gate.


    The pale-faced elder could only clench his teeth and stare at Zhao Feng running away. Zhao Feng got closer and closer to the front gate and at this moment, he saw the gray-robed old man merge back into the night.


    _Hu~_


    Zhao Feng let out a breath, then took some medicine pills to help heal himself.


    *********************


    _In his room..._


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged trying his best to recover.


    ¡°Without ten to fifteen days of recovery, I can¡¯t fully heal. But the elder from the Qiu family is even more injured¡­¡± Zhao Feng mumbled to himself, thrilled at what had happened.


    He had the right to be proud, escaping from a Martial Master and injuring him, but Zhao Feng knew that this was only because the opponent had already been injured and his Mysterious Wind Palm had hit the critical point.


    For the next few days Zhao Feng remained at home, concentrating on healing himself. While he was recovering, he couldn¡¯t train most of his skills such as Metal Wall Technique and Star Finger, so he used the time to try and gain insights from two different scenes.


    The two scenes were from the girl from the canyon, and the other was from Xin Wuheng. Xin Wuheng¡¯s move was simpler to understand and within two days, Zhao Feng had deciphered it. Then, Zhao Feng started to gain insights in Mysterious Wind Palm and Star Finger. Although Mysterious Wind Palm was only one move, the difficulty of it was insane. Therefore, his progress was slow.


    Zhao Feng had to concentrate more on gaining insights in Star Finger and compared to Mysterious Wind Palm, it was much easier. The fact that he had learned Xin Wuheng¡¯s move made it even easier for him to understand. Slowly but steadily, Zhao Feng¡¯s enlightenment of Star Finger had reached the Fourth level.


    For the first few days, he couldn¡¯t train properly as he was still injured, but when he had recovered over seventy percent, Zhao Feng started to cultivate once again.


    _Shua! Shua¡­_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s fingertip pierced time and time again, and his Inner Strength became sharper and sharper. Since the time he had learned Xin Wuheng¡¯s move, Zhao Feng¡¯s Star Finger had increased at a ridiculous rate.


    _Shooo¡ª-_


    Suddenly, a faint azure light shot out from Zhao Feng¡¯s fingertip.


    _Pew!_


    A small hole appeared on the wall.


    Spatial Star Finger had been achieved!

 58 Confinement Order

    Spatial Star Finger!


    Happiness surged within Zhao Feng¡¯s heart. At this moment, if there was someone else present, they would have been shocked. Could this youth have reached the seventh rank at such a young age?


    Everyone knew that only Martial Masters could release their Inner Strength into the air. This was a level that most cultivators only dreamed of reaching.


    But, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t a Martial Master, his cultivation had reached the sixth rank not long ago. This was all due to Star Finger reaching the fourth level.


    At the fourth level of Star Finger, one could condense their chi and shoot it through the air. Obviously, this skill was way harder to train than others, and even Elder Zhao who guarded the martial arts library had only reached the third level of it in his younger days.


    Elder Zhao had presumed that this skill might be a half-step Holy martial art. Even geniuses needed to be at least the seventh rank to train this skill to the fourth level. Therefore, it was unheard of cultivators of the sixth rank attacking through the air.


    _Break!_


    A green glow flashed through the air and hit the window two meters away.


    _Psh!_


    There was a screech of shattering glass as the window broke. As Star Finger had just reached the fourth level, the damage dealt by it wasn¡¯t high, it was only roughly half of his close combat power. But even so, the finger could still instantly kill normal Martial Artists.


    For the next two days, Zhao Feng consolidated his Star Finger. Inside his mind, he was still trying to gain insights into the One with the Heavens feeling.


    _Pu! Pu! Poo¡­_


    Zhao Feng somehow managed to stab out consecutive fingers. The damage dealt by them was sixty to seventy percent of his close combat attacks, but once the range surpassed two meters, the power would significantly decrease.


    If Zhao Feng was killing, he could slay almost any cultivator under the seventh rank with just one finger. Zhao Feng was confident that he wouldn¡¯t be so ruffled by fighting the Qiu family elder again.


    _Hu~_


    Zhao Feng walked out of the room and smelled the refreshing air.


    ¡°Brother Feng¡¯s been in secluded meditation for a long time, so there must have been some kind of breakthrough, right?¡± Zhao Yufei smiled as she walked over.


    ¡°I had some insights after the summit,¡± Zhao Feng replied.


    The main reason he didn¡¯t leave his room was because he was recovering, as he had been seriously injured that day. Hearing him, Zhao Yufei immediately became excited. Being neighbors, the two often met so a little sparring couldn¡¯t be avoided.


    Zhao Feng still suppressed his visible cultivation to the fifth rank, but he often released the One with the Heavens aura when sparring with Zhao Yufei. Zhao Yufei was increasing by leaps and bounds and she had even learned a peak ranked martial art.


    Spiritual Wind Slice!


    A purple glow appeared on her jade like fingers as she condensed her Inner Strength onto her palm. Every slice she made with it could cut through rock.


    ¡°Spiritual Wind Slice? When did Zhao Yufei have such a skill?¡± Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    The profoundness of Spiritual Wind Slice was almost on par with his Star Finger. The advantage of Spiritual Wind Slice was that it was fast and sharp, whereas Star Finger strove for pure power.


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve become one of the four great geniuses, so this was the reward the high levels gave me,¡± Zhao Yufei said happily.


    _What?_


    It looked like quite a few important things happened while he was recovering.


    ¡°Did Brother Feng not receive any prize?¡± This time it was Zhao Yufei¡¯s turn to feel weird.


    ¡°Nope!¡± Zhao Feng shook his head.


    Logically, he should have gotten an even better prize than Zhao Yufei because his ranking was even higher.


    ¡°You should go ask one of the elders,¡± Zhao Yufei said.


    While sparring with Zhao Yufei, Zhao Feng found out another shocking news. The one who tied first with him at the summit, Xin Wuheng, had vanished into thin air.


    ¡°It¡¯s already been ten days since the end of the summit. Why would he disappear without any trace?¡± Zhao Feng felt that this wasn¡¯t as simple as it looked.


    Could Xin Wuheng have been killed¡­? Zhao Feng shook his head. He wasn¡¯t close to Xin Wuheng or anything.


    After sparring, the two separated.


    ¡°Since Zhao Yufei got a prize I should get one too¡­¡± Zhao Feng thought confidently.


    After all, he had tied for first. But with Xun Wuheng gone, he was first!


    Soon, he arrived at the Martial Arts Library where he saw Elder Zhao.


    ¡°Elder Zhao!¡± Zhao Feng greeted the elder overseeing the library.


    ¡°You¡¯ve come to me for the rewards, right?¡± Exhaustion appeared on the elder¡¯s face.


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s correct.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hide his intentions.


    The elder looked at him with admiration and care. ¡°You did better than I expected at the summit¡­¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re flattering me! If I didn¡¯t have the help of Elder Zhao, then I wouldn¡¯t have such achievements today,¡± Zhao Feng humbly said.


    ¡°Not arrogant at all, you¡¯re indeed a shapeable genius¡­just a few days ago, I asked the head of the family to let you in the third floor of the Martial Arts Library.¡±


    Third floor of the Martial Arts Library! Zhao Feng¡¯s heart sped up.


    At the Zhao sect, the third floor was only a legend. It had never been opened publicly before. The second floor already contained the sect¡¯s peak ranked martial arts. Then what would the third floor hold?


    The arrogance Zhao Linlong had shown must have had some backing to it. Eight or nine out of ten was that it was connected with the third floor.


    ¡°Although there aren¡¯t any Holy martial arts on the third floor, there are still some partial Holy martial arts for geniuses to gain insight from. Those whose cultivation isn¡¯t high enough wouldn¡¯t gain anything from entering anyway, therefore, the third floor is closed. Only Zhao Linlong was allowed to enter, even though his cultivation is under the seventh rank,¡± Elder Zhao explained.


    Understanding showed on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. Zhao Linlong had come in first at the family sparring contest, and being the adopted son of the head of the sect, he was able to enter the third floor.


    ¡°Thanks you, elder, for giving me this chance.¡± Zhao Feng was full of gratitude.


    ¡°Unfortunately, the head of the sect actually rejected this,¡± Elder Zhao sighed as he shook his head.


    _Rejected?_


    Cold awareness of the unfairness crept into Zhao Feng¡¯s heart. Zhao Linlong was only first in the Zhao sect, but he had come first in the whole of Sun Feather City! Could it be because he was just a branch disciple, while Zhao Linlong was the head of the sect¡¯s stepson?


    ¡°Why did the head of the sect not agree?¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath, he wanted to hear the sect leader¡¯s reasons.


    ¡°Did you meet with Qiu Mengyu after the summit?¡± Elder Zhao asked deeply.


    ¡°That¡¯s true,¡± Zhao Feng replied, suddenly understanding. The Qiu family and the Zhao family were enemies and the fact that he had accepted Qiu Mengyu¡¯s invitation easily raised suspicions.


    ¡°Two corpses were found, and after examination, we found that they died to a skill similar to Star Finger,¡± Elder Zhao¡¯s stared at him.


    Star Finger?


    Zhao Feng pretended to be surprised. ¡°Does the sect think that I killed them?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it, how could you kill the two of them with only your fifth rank?¡± The elder shook his head.


    Indeed, the two had both reached the peak of the sixth rank and they were of the older generation, so they had access to high tier martial arts.


    If someone was logical and not retarded, they would know that the killer couldn¡¯t be Zhao Feng.


    Obviously, this was according to logic¡­ Elder Zhao probably wouldn¡¯t dream that the killer was right in front of him.


    ¡°Someone reported that you privately went to Qiu Mengyu¡¯s place and Zhao Tianjian and his bodyguard died near in the sect¡¯s territory. Many people of high position are suspicious of you teaming up with the Qiu family to kill the two.¡± His voice became solemn.


    First, it was true that Zhao Feng had met up with Qiu Mengyu. Secondly, Zhao Tianjian had enmities with Zhao Feng and he died precisely on the night that Zhao Feng had returned alone.


    This was enough reason to raise suspicions. All in all, he was just a branch disciple. It didn¡¯t matter whether or not there was evidence, the sect leader would use this as reasoning to not let him in the third floor.


    ¡°Who¡¯s the reporter?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eye twitched as he thought.


    That night there was only Zhao Linlong, Zhao Yufei, Zhao Han, etc. with him. The one closest with the head of the sect was undoubtedly Zhao Linlong.


    ¡°The high levels have already ordered that before the truth has been revealed, you are not to leave the grounds of the Zhao sect,¡± the elder sighed helplessly.


    _What!?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes turned sharp. ¡°Is this a confinement order?¡±

 59 Guest from Province City

    * * *


    ¡°Is the family giving me a confinement order?¡± Zhao Feng felt like he''d been splashed with cold water.


    He had taken first place at the summit, and he received this sort of treatment, instead of being feted like a hero? He obviously wasn¡¯t a retard, the people that had teamed up with the Qiu family were the two that died! That night when he returned, it was obviously planned. Qiu Mengyu invited him over to get them time to set up their plan. Once the plan was successful and Zhao Feng died near their own sect, how would the Zhao family react? Furthermore, a dead genius from the branch sect wouldn¡¯t motivate the high levels much to find the killer.


    ¡°Relax!¡± Elder Zhao said deeply, ¡°As long as I¡¯m alive, they have no evidence to do anything to you. I¡¯ll make sure to find the truth!¡±


    ¡°Thank you for you care, elder.¡± Zhao Feng was full of respect and gratitude.


    Truthfully, if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have Elder Zhao defending him, it wouldn¡¯t be as simple as a confinement order.


    Confinement order?


    _I don¡¯t have plans to go anywhere! So what can you do?,_ Zhao Feng laughed coldly within his heart and couldn¡¯t be bothered to explain.


    He was just a branch disciple, the high levels of the sect didn¡¯t trust him. If he was to explain the truth, his hidden strength and cultivation would cause another whole range of problems.


    *****************


    _Returning back to his house..._


    Zhao Feng calmly sat down and cultivated, his injuries were almost fully healed. With his sixth rank cultivation, his strength was top tier in Sun Feather City, and the only ones that could threaten him were Martial Masters. Apart from that, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t put anyone else in his eyes.


    ¡°I will leave the Zhao family, leave Sun Feather City, and see the outside world.¡± Zhao Feng had such a wish within his heart, he had lost his feel of belonging here.


    From the day he had seen the mysterious girl at the canyon, he was filled with longing for the outside world. Inside the dimension within his left eye, that palm of the girl was being replayed back and forth. Up to now, he still hadn¡¯t understood the profoundness contained in it.


    **********


    In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Zhao Feng calculated the days and realized that he had just turned fourteen.


    He had been training hard these days, and Lightly Micro Step had reached the peak level. He realized that his comprehension of high ranked martial arts grew easier as he fathomed the One with the Heavens aura. It was similar to a Martial Master learning low ranked martial arts, obviously a simple task for a seventh rank.


    Zhao Feng felt that even Star Finger didn¡¯t seem so hard anymore. Now, his Star Finger was not far away from late stages of the fourth level. On the day that Zhao Feng turned fourteen, a guest came to the Zhao family. At this moment, all the core members of the Zhao sects high levels were there. Apart from Elder Zhao who was guarding the Martial Arts Library, all the other elders were present.


    ¡°What does my family have for Master Ye to come personally?¡± The head of the sect asked of the figure sitting on the head seat.


    The person sitting on the sect leader¡¯s seat was a middle aged man around thirty-five years of age. He looked like a mortal, someone that didn¡¯t cultivate. But every action he made, every breath he took, shocked the elders. Only those of the seventh rank or higher could feel the danger emitting from the man, even though he had already concealed his aura.


    ¡°I heard that the Xin and Zhao family both have a very talented genius. I¡¯m under orders from Lord Guanjun to investigate this.¡± After this was said, the breathing rate of everyone present increased.


    Lord Guanjun!


    Cold sweat poured out from Zhao Tiancang¡¯s scalp. Being a city under the Guangjun Provinces City¡¯s control, how could they not know who Lord Guanjun was?


    The Zhao family was in just one of the twelve cities under the Guanjun province, and the dictator of the province was Lord Guanjun!


    His story was a legend itself. Lord Guanjun was one of the seven major lords, he had extremely high cultivation. Apparently, he had once slaughtered two hundred thousand soldiers, slain eighteen Martial Masters of the seventh rank or higher, and killed the ninth rank enemy general. Apparently, Lord Guanjun had also slain five high tier deadly beasts in one blow, all of them stronger than the Two Winged Sword Teeth Tiger that Zhao Feng had met.


    Apparently, he had reached the ninth rank before thirty years of age. Tens of years later, there were even rumors that he had reached the legendary Holy Martial Path! It didn¡¯t matter whether or not the legend was true, as Lord Guanjun was one of the powerhouses of this country!


    What was the Zhao family compared to it?


    And now this Master Ye had came to the Zhao sect under orders from that man. Instantly, the people present looked at each other excitedly.


    ¡°We dare ask, who is the genius that Master Ye is looking for?¡± Zhao Tiancang wiped the sweat off his forehead.


    This Master Ye was of the ninth rank and he had a high chance of being one of Lord Guanjun¡¯s right hand men. Throughout Sun Feather City, there was only a tiny chance of having cultivators of the eighth rank. With Master Ye¡¯s strength, he could kill Martial Masters as easily as he killed cats and dogs. It could be said that the Zhao family had no chance of resisting him.


    ¡°According to my information, the Xin and Zhao family both have a genius. I don¡¯t know their names¡­I just recently went to the Xin family but the result disapointed me¡­¡± Master Ye couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    Obviously, he didn¡¯t get to see Xin Wuheng, who had disappeared after the summit. There was still no sign of him even after a month, and apart from Xin Wuheng, the Xin family didn¡¯t have any especially outstanding youths.


    ¡°Um¡­ without the name we don¡¯t know which one you¡¯re talking about.¡± Light flashed through Zhao Tiancang¡¯s eyes.


    Master Ye casually said, ¡°That¡¯s easy, just bring out the most talented person.¡±


    The head of the sect exchanged looks with the others. If they were talking about the most talented person, then they would have to choose between Zhao Feng and Zhao Linlong. But Zhao Feng had just received a confinement order, and they had suspicions of him joining the Qiu family.


    ¡°Haha, could the Zhao sect not even know their genius?¡± Master Ye laughed as he released his aura.


    That moment, the pressure inside the room increased. An unbearable pressure crushed towards Zhao Tiancang and the other elders.


    ¡°There-there is one,¡± Zhao Tiancang quickly said.¡°We have an outstanding genius within our sect, he¡¯s my son Zhao Linlong. He¡¯s reached the sixth rank before eighteen years of old and he gained some insights into Holy martial arts a few days ago.¡±


    Zhao Linlong!


    The other elders immediately nodded their heads in agreement. It was true that Zhao Linlong had the highest cultivation amongst the youngsters. Furthermore, he had gained some insights into the partial Holy martial arts, this was something that some elders couldn¡¯t even do.


    ¡°Oh? Bring him out.¡± Master Ye seemed to be interested.


    ¡°Someone go fetch Zhao Linlong!¡±


    ***********


    _Soon..._


    Zhao Linlong, clad in his usual gold, came into the room and greeted everyone present. When he found that the head of the sect wasn¡¯t sitting at his usual seat, he was shocked.


    From the situation, it seemed that the elders seemed to be in fear of this person...


    ¡°Hmm¡­ eighteen years old, sixth rank, meh, average.¡± Master Ye nodded his head slightly, but he didn¡¯t seem happy.


    _Average?_


    Zhao Linlong felt anger creep into his heart. The elders seemed to be stunned as well. After all, only Zhao Linlong had reached the sixth rank before turning eighteen.


    Obviously, they didn¡¯t know that Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng had both reached the sixth rank, with Xin Wuheng reaching peak sixth rank. Zhao Linlong was almost eighteen and Zhao Feng had just turned fourteen. Even with his fifth rank cultivation, it was obvious that his potential was higher than Zhao Linlong¡¯s.


    ¡°Show me some of your skills," the man said expressionlessly.


    ¡°Yes, Master Ye.¡± Zhao Linlong could barely contain his excitement. From the meaning in his stepfather''s eyes, he knew this was a chance to change his destiny.


    Spatial Cloud Finger!


    Zhao Linlong exclaimed and used his best move. At the same time, he used his Shadow Step as well. After showing his skills, Zhao Linlong seemed to be full of confidence. Every finger he pushed out seemed to blast through the sky.


    ¡°Good! Good!¡±


    The elders couldn¡¯t help but nod their heads and cheer for him. But on the highest seat, Master Ye sat expressionlessly. No one knew what he thought.


    * * *

 60 Fetch Zhao Feng

    Zhao Linlong¡¯s performance was indeed great. Throwing away the fact that he had the highest cultivation, every skill that he showed was perfect. His Spatial Cloud Finger was now even better than what it was at the Summit, and his Shadow Step had closed in on perfection.


    Zhao Linlong started to work even harder after his defeat and under the pressure, his strength had increased. Even some sixth ranks of the older generation weren¡¯t his opponent.


    ¡°Not bad.¡± The head of the sect and elders nodded their heads. From their point of view, Zhao Linlong¡¯s strength was indeed top tier in Sun Feather City. They turned to Master Ye.


    ¡°Master Ye, how do you feel¡­?¡± Zhao Tiancang couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Once his stepson Zhao Linlong was chosen by Guanjun Palace, his future days couldn¡¯t be estimated. It would only be a matter of time before Sun Feather City was controlled by the Zhao sect. The other elders looked on expectantly.


    ¡°So ¨C so.¡± The words were like a hammer that heavily hit Zhao Tiancang.


    _How could this be¡­ so-so?_


    ¡°So-so?¡± Zhao Linlong¡¯s face turned red.


    Anger surged in his heart. Being the genius with the highest cultivation within Sun Feather City, he had only received a so-so review?


    ¡°Oh yes! Linlong! Didn¡¯t you gain something from the partial Holy martial art?¡± the sect leader prodded him.


    Partial Holy martial art!


    Yes!


    Eyes lit up amongst the elders.


    ¡°Hehe.¡± Some interest was finally visible in Master Ye¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Yes, father.¡± Zhao Linlong took a deep breath and closed his eyes.


    Suddenly, his aura changed.


    _Hu~_


    At this moment, Zhao Linlong had the aura that Xin Wuheng had on the summit day, but much fainter, only around one-tenth of Wuheng''s.


    ¡°Wind Flowing Stance!¡±


    _Hua!_


    An unseen wind wave swept up everything in a radius of several meters. This casual swipe could seriously injure most cultivators under the seventh rank.


    ¡°Good, good!¡± The elders couldn¡¯t help but applaud.


    This was what they truly felt at heart, they weren¡¯t acting. Their insights gained into the partial Holy martial art weren¡¯t much stronger than Zhao Linlong¡¯s. After their cheering, they once again looked expectantly at Master Ye.


    There shouldn¡¯t be any problems this time, right? A faint smile appeared on Zhao Linlong¡¯s face.


    ¡°This is your so-called insight from a partial Holy martial art? The power of it isn¡¯t even stronger than your Spatial Cloud Finger! You haven¡¯t even touched the corner of a Holy martial art yet! Useless!¡± the cold, expressionless voice sounded within the room.


    Instantly dead silence fell.


    _How was this possible?_


    Zhao Linlong felt somewhat dissatisfied. However, the man sitting there was one of the country¡¯s few ninth ranks.


    Ninth rank of the Martial Path!


    Even if they were unsatisfied, they didn¡¯t have any courage to rebuke him.


    ¡°The genius I am looking for¡­ is not him,¡± Master Ye said harshly.


    On the day of the summit, the two Guanjun Corpsmen didn¡¯t know Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng¡¯s names, but they had seen their potential and talents. The potential of those two were ranked in the top five of Guanjun Province. Zhao Linlong¡¯s performance wasn¡¯t even able to reach the top twenty.


    ¡°Master Ye, Linlong¡¯s cultivation is the highest amongst the younger generation,¡± Zhao Tiancang said helplessly.


    At this moment, the other elders realized who Master Ye truly wanted, but they had confined that person. This was the reason that Zhao Tiancang didn¡¯t mention him.


    A few seconds of silence followed.


    ¡°Call all the youngsters of the fifth rank or higher here,¡± Master Ye ordered.


    Zhao Tiancang immediately did what he was ordered to do.


    ***************


    _Soon..._


    Zhao Yufei, Zhao Chi, and Zhao Han all came to the room. There was only five youths who had reached the fifth rank: Zhao Linlong, Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, Zhao Chi, and Zhao Han. But there were only four present.


    ¡°This person comes from the Guanjun Province. You must all perform well and if you¡¯re chosen, you may be taken to the Guanjun Palace,¡± Zhao Tiancang explained.


    Immediately, excitement rose on their faces. Compared to the Guanjun Palace, their Zhao family was just an ant. If they were chosen by the Guanjun Palace, their future couldn¡¯t be measured.


    The first person that came up was Zhao Han. When he went up, a powerful, cold Inner Strength flowed out from his body.


    ¡°Focusing solely on cultivation isn¡¯t good,¡± Master Ye shook his head.


    Hope was extinguished from Zhao Han¡¯s eyes. In Master Ye¡¯s eyes, his performance was crap. The scene caused Zhao Linlong to let out a breath and even feel slightly good. Zhao Chi went up next.


    ¡°Average, you¡¯re understanding is manageable.¡± The review was slightly better than before.


    Finally, it was Zhao Yufei¡¯s turn. Zhao Yufei was the youngest and therefore, she went last. She immediately performed her Spiritual Wind Slice and using of Air Crossing Breathing Technique, all her moves were beautiful.


    Finally, a light came from the expressionless Master Ye¡¯s eyes. ¡°Not bad.¡±


    Not bad!


    This was the best review he had given. Zhao Linlong¡¯s face was pretty ugly. In terms of strength and cultivation, he easily surpassed Zhao Yufei. But Zhao Yufei was only fourteen years old, and therefore her potential was far greater.


    The elders were stunned, they never thought that the one that Master Ye would look most importantly at was Zhao Yufei. But if they thought about it logically, Zhao Yufei came from a branch of the main sect and under the conditions of low resources, she had still surpassed what Zhao Linlong achieved at her age.


    ¡°She ok, but she¡¯s not the one in the report.¡± Master Ye¡¯s eyebrows twitched.


    _Not good!_


    The hearts of Zhao Tiancang and the elders clenched. But in the next moment the most unwanted scene happened.


    ¡°Master Ye, there¡¯s still a genius that¡¯s even better than me,¡± Zhao Yufei told Master Ye.


    From the moment she entered the room, she had wondered why Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t present. She didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng had been put under confinement orders for suspicion of treachery, and under those conditions, Zhao Feng was excluded.


    ¡°Hmmm? There¡¯s still one more?¡± Master Ye¡¯s face turned dark as he surveyed the elders. Those that were looked at by Master Ye felt as if a blade had sliced them.


    ¡°Master Ye, the situation is like this¡­ there¡¯s still a youth in the sect, but he¡¯s under suspicion of betraying the family¡­¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    Anger surged on Master Ye¡¯s face. ¡°I don¡¯t give a f**k if he¡¯s a traitor or not, I just want my bl**dy genius!¡±


    His powerful voice echoed within the room. Zhao Linlong and the others of the younger generation felt their skin go cold. Just his voice alone could cause such pressure. It was hard to imagine what kind of power those of the ninth rank had.


    ¡°Fetch Zhao Feng,¡± Zhao Tiancang managed to squeeze out the words.


    The elders sighed in their heart. Zhao Linlong¡¯s fists were clenched and his teeth were clenched, full of unwillingness.


    How could the top genius of the Zhao family be replaced by someone of the branch sect?


    ¡°Zhao Feng won¡¯t be chosen by him. Even if he is, so what? I¡¯ll still make him lose face!¡± Zhao Linlong darkly said.


    ****************


    _Shortly..._


    A handsome youth walked steadily into the room.


    _Who had come to the Zhao family today?_


    From the situation, it seemed the elders and the sect leader were all under orders from the man in the top seat. The moment he opened his left eye, Zhao Feng felt the powerful pressure emitting from the man. What was even more shocking was that his Inner Strength had reached an extreme level.


    If Zhao Linlong¡¯s Inner Strength was said to be a patch of cold water, then the head of the sect¡¯s could be said to be a bath of boiling hot water. But compared to this man in green''s was like metal! The quantity and quality had reached a peak state.


    ¡°So strong!¡± Zhao Feng quickly closed the ability of his left eye.


    The person in front of him was the strongest person he had seen so far, excluding the girl''s group at the canyon.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Master Ye asked.


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡± His voice was steady.


    ¡°Not bad.¡± Interest showed on Master Ye''s face.


    The aura from his breathing didn¡¯t cause the youth in front of him to panic and somehow¡­ he had the feeling that he couldn¡¯t see through him. Zhao Feng¡¯s real cultivation was at the sixth rank and when he wanted to fully conceal it, even Master Ye couldn¡¯t easily see it¡­

 61 Zhao Linlong’s Challenge.

    Not bad.


    Just from the first eye alone, Master Ye had given Zhao Feng such a statement.


    _Why!?_


    Rage surged in Zhao Linlong¡¯s heart. His cultivation was the highest and his performance had only gotten a ''so-so''. Zhao Feng did nothing and he had received ''not bad''.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! This is Master Ye from the Guanjun Province and he represents the Guanjun Palace to come here to choose a genius from the Zhao sect. You better perform well, this is your chance to repent for your sins,¡± Zhao Tiancang, the head of the sect managed to squeeze out a smile, but his voice was somewhat stale.


    _Repent for my sins?,_ Zhao Feng laughed coldly in his heart, but he didn¡¯t bother to explain.


    ¡°This one sees Master Ye,¡± Zhao Feng respectfully bowed.


    ¡°En.¡± Master Ye nodded his head and signalled for him to performance.


    Under everyone¡¯s eyes, Zhao Feng took in a breath to calm himself down. His steady demeanor far surpassed the others, even Zhao Linlong or Zhao Yufei couldn¡¯t be compared to him. Even Zhao Feng didn¡¯t realize that a weird aura was released from his left eye into his body and that at every critical moment, he would remain calm. There was surprise in Master Ye¡¯s eyes as he realized that this youth wasn¡¯t simple.


    Flaming Metal Fist!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s first punch was his most familiar skill. Core ranked martial art? The geniuses and elders present were shocked. Zhao Feng¡¯s core ranked fist skill had surpassed perfection and exceeded the original skill.


    ¡°Not bad.¡± Master Ye once again nodded his head.


    Zhao Feng kept on punching and unconsciously, he merged the One with the Heavens aura into it.


    _Hu~_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s simple punch seemed to contain a flaming dragon. The moment the fist was out, it seemed like he put his power all into one point perfectly. It was as if that simple punch contained a deeper insight.


    ¡°Core ranked martial art. It¡¯s not simple to train it to this level.¡±


    The elders nodded their heads, but they didn¡¯t put it to their hearts. No matter how special it was, it was still a core ranked martial art and wasn¡¯t comparable to peak ranked martial arts. Zhao Linlong was disdainful.


    ¡°Good!¡± a voice of extreme joy echoed in the room.


    Shock and excitement shone in Master Ye¡¯s eyes. The voice had come from him.


    _Good?_


    Zhao Tiancang and Zhao Linlong almost died from choking on their own breath. They seemed to have seen a ghost. The earlier reviews had made them understand how hard it was for him to give a good review.


    _Core ranked martial arthow the f**k is this possible!?_ , Zhao Linlong almost exploded.


    From their level, they just couldn¡¯t see what was so special about Zhao Feng¡¯s core ranked fist skill.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­it looks like the genius I wanted is you.¡± Master Ye let out a long laugh, his attitude was completely different from before.


    ¡°Thank youfor your review,¡± Zhao Feng was also stunned.


    Originally, he wanted to start from his core ranked martial art, then build up to Angry Dragon Fist and then Star Finger. But when he was performing the core ranked martial art, he had somehow merged the two together.


    ¡°In my eyes you are the true genius.¡± Master Ye walked down from his seat.


    _You are the true genius!_


    As he said that, Zhao Linlong¡¯s face turned extremely ugly.


    _Why!?_


    Unwillingness screamed in his heart. Zhao Feng had gotten a better review from just a core ranked martial art, how could he be willing?


    ¡°My name is Ye Linyun, maybe we can be friends later on.¡± Master Ye seemed to be extremely respectful of Zhao Feng.


    The scene made Zhao Tiancang and the elders drop their jaws.


    Why would a ninth rank Martial Master try and become friends with such a youth?


    Even Zhao Feng himself was stunned. The only reason he could think of was the One with the Heavens aura. It confirmed that if Xin Wuheng hadn¡¯t disappear, he would also have been taken in by Master Ye.


    ¡°Master Ye, you¡¯re too nice¡­¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know how to express himself.


    He didn¡¯t dare to treat Master Ye as his friend. That was the same as an ant and an elephant being friends.


    ¡°Hehe, Zhao Feng you¡¯re too humble. One day you¡¯ll realize you will have the right to do so.¡± Ye Lingyun shook his head while smiling.


    At this moment, he didn¡¯t seem strict at all. The scene made the others extremely confused. Zhao Linlong was especially so, he was extremely furious.


    ¡°Zhao Feng are you willing to join the Guanjun Corps?¡± Ye Linyun directly asked.


    Willing or unwilling, weren¡¯t these just useless words? Furthermore, Ye Linyun¡¯s attitude was just too nice.


    Zhao Feng spoke sincerely, ¡°My goal is to leave Sun Feather City and experience the outside world, so I am willing.¡±


    Entering the Guanjun Palace didn¡¯t conflict with his goals. The scale of Guanjun City far surpassed Sun Feather City, and it was a wider stage for him.


    ¡°Good, if you work hard, maybe you¡¯ll even receive personal lessons from Lord Guanjun," Ye Linyun smiled.


    _Lord Guanjun?_


    Zhao Feng immediately thanked him. Although he lived in Sun Feather City, he had still heard of Lord Guanjun¡¯s legends because he was the highest dictator in a ten thousand mile radius and he had reached an extremely high level in martial arts. Even Sun Feather City and the Zhao sect were under his control. The Zhao sect didn¡¯t have any status or right to even try and flatter his people.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng clearly felt the envious eyes from Zhao Linlong and Zhao Han. He was able to enter the Guanjun Palace and he had the chance to receive personal lessons from Lord Guanjun. How could they not be jealous?


    Zhao Han and Zhao Chi could be thrown aside as they knew the difference between Zhao Feng and them. They had all seen the performance of Zhao Feng that day on the summit, therefore they knew that they had no right to rebuke him.


    But there was still one person unable to accept this, and that was Zhao Linlong! Jealously, unwillingness, and envy burned in his heart.


    _Why!? Why!?_


    In terms of cultivation, he was top among the younger generation. In terms of martial arts, he had touched the boundaries of partial Holy martial arts. Even if there still were differences between them, he wouldn¡¯t watch himself be beaten just by Zhao Feng¡¯s simple core ranked punches.


    ¡°I disagree!¡± The anger within Zhao Linlong¡¯s heart finally exploded.


    Silence fell within the room.


    ¡°Linlong! No!¡± Zhao Tiancang and the others tried to stop him. Although they were confused of why Ye Linyun chose Zhao Feng, they didn¡¯t dare question him.


    ¡°Why do you disagree?¡± A smile of mockery appeared on Ye Linyun¡¯s face.


    ¡°Give me a chance! I¡¯ll use my own strength to prove that I am stronger than him. Isn¡¯t that the rule of this world that only the strong can make choices?¡± Zhao Linlong stared at Zhao Feng and displayed his aura of the sixth rank.


    If it was a normal fourth or fifth ranker, they would have been scared, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to be affected at all even though his cultivation was suppressed.


    ¡°Only the strong can make rules! I¡¯ll give you one chance, if you can beat Zhao Feng, you can also enter the Guanjun Palace.¡±


    Ye Lingyun laughed as he turned to Zhao Feng. ¡°I¡¯ve only just seen your core ranked martial arts and this will let me see your combat abilities.¡±


    ¡°Yes sir.¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    The two faced off in the room.


    Since Zhao Feng had entered the main branch, the two had never fought. This was their first time fighting one another.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! I will use my strength to prove that I have more right than you to enter Guanjun Palace.¡±


    Looking at the scene, the other youngsters were expectant. One of them was the top genius of the Zhao family, while the other was once the top genius of the Zhao family.


    One was the most talented in Sun Feather City. One had the highest cultivation amongst the younger generation within Sun Feather City.


    This was the first time the two would meet in battle.


    ¡°Spatial Cloud Finger!¡± Zhao Linlong exclaimed as he pointed out a finger with a purple glow around it.


    At the same time, he activated Shadows Step and left an after-image where he originally stood.


    Star Finger!


    An azure light came from Zhao Feng¡¯s finger and clashed heavily with Zhao Linlong¡¯s Spatial Cloud Finger.


    _Boom!_


    The two peak ranked martial arts met one another, causing their robes to fly in the wind.


    _Teng! Teng! Teng¡­_


    The two moved back simultaneously. Zhao Linlong retreated five steps and he felt blood gurgle through his throat. Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t that well off either, he felt the finger that clashed with Zhao Linlong turn numb.


    ¡°Star Finger!¡±


    ¡°The third level of Star Finger! How could he have reached it at such a young age!?¡± The elders understood how terrifying Star Finger was.


    Star Finger was the most powerful skill in the Martial Arts Library. There were many people training it, but they finally dropped it as it was too hard to learn and they had a high chance of injuring themselves.


    * * *

 62 Third Floor of the Martial Arts Library

    From the first move, it was obvious Zhao Feng had the advantage. It was indeed frightening for someone with lower cultivation to gain the upper hand.


    ¡°Zhao Feng has the advantage because of Star Finger and his body strengthening technique¡­¡± Zhao Tiancang sighed and didn¡¯t bother to conceal the shock on his face. His voice was also just loud enough to let Zhao Linlong hear.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Metal Wall Technique had reached the fifth level and he had unimaginable power. He was still suppressing his cultivation, so his Metal Wall Technique only seemed to be at the peak fourth level.


    The power of his Star Finger was indeed stronger than Zhao Linlong¡¯s Spatial Cloud Finger.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Zhao Linlong roared and once again condensed his Inner Strength.


    In that short moment, he reached his peak state. If it was any other genius here they would probably die.


    ¡°Third Stance Star Finger!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes became sharp as an azure light swished through the air.


    _Pew¡ª¨C_


    His finger slashed through the air and became an azure light.


    _Poof! Poof! Pew¡ª¨C_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s offense warded Zhao Linlong off repeatedly.


    _Wah!_


    On the eigth move, Zhao Linlong¡¯s face turned white and he spat out a mouthful of blood. From the situation, it seemed that Zhao Linlong couldn¡¯t manage to exchange ten blows with Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This is a second Xin Wuheng.¡± Zhao Han and Zhao Chi looked at each other and nodded their heads.


    But thinking about it, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng both came in first and Xin Wuheng had admitted defeat. From this, they could see that Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was only higher than Xin Wuheng¡¯s, not lower.


    ¡°Flowing Wind Stance!¡± On the ninth move, Zhao Linlong¡¯s aura changed.


    _Hu~_


    A thick purple light whipped heavily towards Zhao Feng.


    _What kind of move was this?_


    Zhao Chi, Zhao Han and Zhao Yufei felt their hearts shake. Even Zhao Feng, who had the upper hand, felt some pressure.


    ¡°Could this be the partial Holy martial art?¡± Zhao Feng soon regained his composure and condensed more energy into Star Finger.


    One Line Star Finger!


    The azure light came and went like a meteor.


    ¡°What¡­? He¡¯s learned One Line Star Finger!?¡±


    ¡°One Line Star Finger! The killing move of Star Finger. If he¡¯s learned this already then he¡¯s not far away from the fourth level.¡± The elders were extremely shocked.


    Star Finger was their strongest skill, but it was also the hardest one to learn at the same time. For the past one hundred years, many geniuses had tried to learn Star Finger, but their results were all the same; their finger either got disfigured or the speed of learning it was slow, so they finally gave up. This skill was not just hard, there was too much danger involved as well.


    One elder from the earlier generation had said that Star Finger was on the half Holy martial art level, but it was just too dangerous. But in this generation, a branch disciple had managed to learn Star Finger.


    _Pew¡­_


    One Line Star Finger slashed through the air and broke through Zhao Linlong¡¯s Flowing Wind Stance. Zhao Linlong¡¯s figure trembled as his sleeve was ripped open.


    ¡°You¡¯ve lost!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s finger stopped at Linlong''s arm nerve point.


    Star Finger contained many skills within it, including hitting nerve points.


    _I¡¯ve lost?_


    Zhao Linlong went into shock. It wasn¡¯t as if he never thought of himself losing, it was just the difference between them was too great. He thought how childish it was when he didn¡¯t put Zhao Feng in his eyes.


    ¡°Not bad, you can already control your Inner Strength perfectly,¡± Ye Linyun praised.


    He found Zhao Feng more and more to his liking after this battle. Challenging high ranks was rare even in Province City. Furthermore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to try that hard at all. Zhao Tiancang and his cronies looked at each other and sighed deeply.


    They could obviously see that Zhao Feng¡¯s One Line Star Finger could destroy Zhao Linlong¡¯s arm, but he didn¡¯t do so. The battle between two top tier geniuses of Sun Feather City ended here. Ye Linyun looked at Zhao Feng, then at Zhao Yufei, and he seemed pretty pleased.


    Although he had missed the genius of the Xin family, he had gotten two from the Zhao family. Zhao Feng¡¯s performance far exceeded his expectations.


    ¡°You two go and prepare your stuff. In three days, we will go head towards Province City,¡± Ye Linyun told the two.


    _Shua!_


    Ye Linyun turned into a blur. The next second, he disappeared.


    _So fast!_


    Without using his left eye, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t even see his shadow. If Ye Linyun was to attack, no one would be able to resist including the sect leader and the elders.


    _Is that the power of the ninth rank? Then, how strong would Lord Guanjun be?_ Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take in a deep breath.


    ¡°Sect leader, there¡¯s still three days left. I need to go back to Green Leaf Village.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes focused on Zhao Tiancang.


    He was still under confinement orders from the family.


    ¡°Go.¡±


    Although Zhao Tiancang was the head of the sect, he felt useless. The word seemed to pull out all of his energy. Now Zhao Feng was one of Guanjun Palace¡¯s men, he didn¡¯t have the guts to do anything to him.


    ¡°But we hope that you give an answer to Zhao Tiancang¡¯s death. From the Star Finger you just used, you have the ability to kill them.¡± Light flashed within Zhao Tiancang¡¯s eyes.


    At this moment, he just wanted an answer. Even if Zhao Feng¡¯s answer was that he joined the Qiu family, they couldn¡¯t do anything to him.


    ¡°Zhao Tianjian was indeed killed by me, but I didn¡¯t betray the Zhao family,¡± Zhao Feng laughed.


    ¡°It was you¡­ ¡±


    Before, they were just suspicious and didn¡¯t really believe that Zhao Feng had the ability to kill the two.


    ¡°One more point. The real one that teamed up with the Qiu family wasn¡¯t me¡­if you want to know the answer, you could go and find some information from Zhao Tianjian¡¯s place¡­¡± Zhao Feng left this sentence behind and then left the room.


    _Could it be¡­?_


    Understanding showed on their faces.


    ***********************


    On the same day...


    The high level of the sect immediately sent out men to secure Zhao Tianjian¡¯s family, including Zhao Yijian.


    Zhao Yijian didn¡¯t know what happened, but they did find some proof within the family linking them to the Qiu family. Finally the truth was found. The high levels of the sect finally realized their unfair treatment of Zhao Feng. Usually, they wouldn¡¯t really care, but now it was different. Zhao Feng had been selected by Guanjun Palace and he had an unlimited future, his future determined the Zhao family¡¯s future.


    Therefore, the sect leader ordered Elder Zhao to go and comfort Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­it feels so good to see the expressions on their faces.¡± Elder Zhao didn¡¯t feel sympathetic for them at all, and instead he was quite happy.


    ¡°Oh yes, the high levels have decided to open the third floor of the Martial Arts Library for you.¡± He brought out another piece of news.


    Third floor of the Martial Arts Library? A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. This result was within his expectations.


    On the second day, three elders including Elder Zhao came to the third floor. The third floor was an extremely mysterious place. One elder alone couldn¡¯t open it. The sect had its rules, that three elders must agree simultaneously to open it. A dark green stone door was the path to the third floor.


    _Weng~_


    The stone door hummed as if a certain mechanism had been opened, and the door swung wide. Zhao Feng immediately stepped in and found himself in a stone room. On the walls, there were weird pictures carved. Some were moving, while some places were blurred. Under the combined power of the three Martial Masters, the pictures seemed to come alive.


    Flowing Wind Stance! Tornado Stance! Partial Wind Stance! Burning Wind Stance¡­


    Every picture had a different stance to it, but due to their age, the pictures weren¡¯t very clear. Zhao Feng felt that even with the power of three Martial Masters, it wasn¡¯t enough to fully activate the pictures.


    ¡°The series of pictures combine to form a complete Holy martial art, but the wall is kind of blurry and there isn¡¯t enough power to fully activate it.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye quickly scanned over the pictures.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we can only sustain this for thirty more breaths. If you can gain anything from it, it¡¯s all up to you.¡± Elder Zhao¡¯s voice sounded from outside.


    _Thirty breaths!_ Zhao Feng¡¯s heart clenched.


    _Shua!_


    Immediately, he pushed his left eye to the limit and went into enhanced-vision mode. Under its power, the pictures on the stone walls became clearer.


    ¡°Copy!¡± Zhao Feng spat out a word and one of the pictures was absorbed into the dimension in his left eye.

 63 Victorious Return

    A picture appeared in the dimension of his left eye. He had copied the picture into his mind and although it wasn¡¯t a complete Holy martial art, it still surpassed peak ranked martial arts.


    Flowing Wind Stance!


    Zhao Feng saw the name under the picture. This move was the exact same one that Zhao Linlong used before, but Linlong had only just touched the edges of it. Soon, the second picture appeared in his mind. The scenery of the second picture was more complex than the first one.


    The second stance, Tornado!


    Zhao Feng successfully copied the picture into his mind. but felt fatigue wash over him. The more complex the thing he copied, the more mental energy it would rake.


    The third stance, Partial Wind Stance!


    Zhao Feng clenched his teeth and forcefully took the picture into his mind. This one was even more complex than the one before and at this time, he felt even more tired.


    Cold sweat came out from Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead, with his remaining energy, it was obvious that he couldn¡¯t copy the fourth picture.


    _Hu!_


    He took a deep breath and closed in his eyes. He then circulated Air Crossing Breathing Technique to recover. Outside the room, the three elders could only sustain the room for thirty breaths, and the time was decreasing as each moment passed.


    Ten breaths¡­fifteen breaths¡­ twenty breaths¡­


    The time he had was reaching its limit.


    Twenty-five breaths¡­twenty-six breaths¡­twenty-seven breaths¡­


    Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing became faster and faster. Right now, the fatigue started to fade away.


    At the last two breaths...


    Burning Wind Slice!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly opened and a faint green light appeared on his eye as he forcefully copied the fourth picture.


    _Hong¡­_


    The next instant, he felt his consciousness overrun by a wall of fire. The chaotic burning wind seemed to destroy anything and everything in its path.


    ¡°Is this power within the limits of cultivators?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his mouth turn dry, and it was as if all the water in his body had evaporated. But in reality, he hadn¡¯t been injured in any way, it was just an illusion.


    _Shua!_


    The the fourth picture was taken into his left eye.


    _Done!_


    Zhao Feng tiredly fell down on his bum. At almost the exact same time, the three elders outside took back their Inner Strength.


    _Weng!_


    The pictures on the wall once again stopped moving. It seemed like they were just ordinary pictures.


    ¡°How much insight did you gain?¡± the three elders outside asked.


    _Insights?_


    Zhao Feng flinched, he actually didn¡¯t gain any insights from the third floor yet.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. These pictures are pretty blurry and most of the geniuses that have been inside have gained almost nothing,¡± Elder Zhao comforted him.


    They didn¡¯t feel anything weird when Zhao Feng didn¡¯t gain any insights.


    ¡°Yes, even if you did, the little amount you gained is still not better than a peak ranked martial art,¡± one of the other elders nodded their head in agreement.


    The third floor was never opened for two reasons: One, it needed the power of three elders at once and they could only sustain it for thirty breaths. Second, the Holy martial art was just too blurry and the insights gained were just too small.


    Thirty breaths was just too short for anyone to fully gain anything.


    ¡°Thank you, elders, for your effort.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem disappointed at all.


    Yes, it was true he didn¡¯t gain anything within the thirty breaths, but he had copied all four pictures into his mind.


    *******************


    _Returning home..._


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and first focused on recovering his mental energy. Then, when his mental energy reached its peak state, he started to examine the four partial Holy martial art skills.


    The four weren¡¯t complete Holy martial arts, as they had parts missing and they were blurry. But even then, Zhao Feng felt that these skills weren¡¯t that hard.


    The first and second stances were easier than his Mysterious Wind Palm and the third stance was on par with it.


    The fourth stance contained a will to destroy everything. Even though it was incomplete, it had still exceeded the limits of the human body¡­


    **********


    Some time later...


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath and shook his head. He was only able to fully comprehend the first move, Flowing Wind Stance, but full comprehension of this skill didn¡¯t have much of an effect on his overall strength, it wasn¡¯t even as good as learning a peak ranked martial art.


    This was because the first move, Flowing Wind Stance, was a support skill, not an offensive or defensive skill.


    Because of this, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dwell on it that much. Although he had a feeling that these four skills might not be of use to him now, they would be in the future.


    *********************


    On the morning of the second day, Zhao Feng, along with his parents, went back to Green Leaf Village.


    In another two days, he would leave Sun Feather City and go to the Guanjun Province City thousands of miles away.


    ¡°In the blink of an eye, I¡¯ve been at the main branch for almost a year.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but remember that he was only a cultivator of the first rank when he entered. In one year of time, he had increased by leaps and bounds and reached the sixth rank.


    ¡°With your cultivation and age, nothing in Green Leaf Village can stop you.¡± His father, Zhao Tianyang, said.


    His parents were both very proud of their son. The branch sect leader was Zhao Kayuan, an old man who had reached the fourth rank. Apart from him, the strongest villagers were of the third rank.


    When they received news of Zhao Feng¡¯s return, the head of the family personally came out to greet him. Back then, Zhao Feng was also the top genius of Green Leaf Village. Now, he had returned like a hero.


    Soon, they walked into the branch sect¡¯s pavilion. This building was nowhere near close to what the main sect¡¯s building was. It had tattered holes in it everywhere due to its age.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, your achievements today far exceed my expectation,¡± Zhao Kayuan couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    In just a short one year¡¯s time, Zhao Feng had reached the fifth rank and he was the strongest in the branch sect. This was something that no one expected. Usually, the youths recommended by the branch sect were sent back. Truthfully, the elders of the branch sect didn¡¯t put too much hope in them.


    Zhao Feng was slightly stunned when he learned the truth. The elders of Green Leaf Village had never even thought about him becoming one of the geniuses at the main sect, they had even made preparations for him being sent back.


    Just as the people were speaking, screams and shouts came from outside the main gate.


    _What happene_ _d?_ Zhao Feng¡¯s brow furrowed and the conversation in the room stopped.


    ¡°Sect head, the Liu family''s men have come for trouble again!¡± A few youths who had faces full of bruises came rushing in.


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡± The head of the family, Zhao Kayuan, stood up.


    ¡°Liu family?¡± Light flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    He was born in Green Leaf Village, and so he was familiar with the Liu family. For the past couple of generations, the Liu family had quickly risen and expanded in strength, and they had become the biggest faction within Green Leaf Village.


    Although Green Leaf Village couldn¡¯t be compared to Sun Feather City, the Liu were still a force to be reckoned with. Zhao Feng remembered that there was rumors of two to three cultivators of the fifth rank at the Liu family.


    ¡°For the past year the Liu family had taken the properties of many families, and now they want to buy the mine of ours for only three thousand pieces of silver,¡± Zhao Kayuan said, full of rage.


    ¡°Hehe, the Liu family does have guts!¡± Zhao Feng laughed coldly, then went outside.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, don¡¯t rush. The Liu family now have a cultivator of the sixth rank¡­¡± The sect leader immediately tried to stop him. Zhao Feng was strong, but he was only one person. How could he fight the Liu family?


    The Liu family alone had tens of Martial Artists. Two had reached the fifth and now one had reached the sixth!


    Angry Dragon Fist!


    Outside the gate Zhao Feng punched one of the cultivators from the Liu family.


    ¡°This guy¡¯s a fifth rank. Every attack together!¡± the leader exclaimed. The bunch immediately pounced towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Quick! Support Feng¡¯er!¡± Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Kayuan both exclaimed.


    The situation turned into chaos.


    ¡°Let me fight alone,"Zhao Feng shouted from the crowd.


    _Boom boom boom¡­_


    His leg immediately sent many cultivators of the Liu family flying. Zhao Feng faced the crowd of people alone. Anyone that came within range of him received broken limbs in return.


    Zhao Feng soon turned into a blur and knocked down the leader.


    ¡°Ahhh¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Young master! Please forgive us!¡±


    The group had all been defeated by one person. Amidst the scream and dust, that figure seemed so handsome and tall.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ ¡±


    The people from the Zhao branch sect finally let out their laughter. Zhao Feng shook his head, these people were just too weak.


    ¡°That Liu family will definitely come for revenge. Shouldn¡¯t we go fortify our defenses first?¡± Zhao Kayuan seemed disturbed.


    The Liu family was after all the strongest faction in Green Leaf Village, and it was ten times stronger than the Zhao branch family.


    _Defend?_


    Zhao Feng coldly said, ¡°Why do we need to defend? Why don¡¯t we just go to them?¡±

 64 Who’s the Hunter?

    ¡°Why should we defend? We should go and kill them all.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s words shocked the others.


    Attack the Liu family?


    Zhao Kayuan was full of fear. ¡°Nonono! The Liu family is the god of Green Leaf Village¡­¡±


    In their minds, the Liu family was unbeatable. All they could do was defend. As for taking the offensive, they didn¡¯t dare to think about it unless they thought their lives were too long.


    ¡°Leave this to me.¡±


    Zhao Feng left an afterimage where he stood. The next instant, he jumped onto the roof and disappeared in a few breaths.


    _Not good!_


    Zhao Kayuan and Zhao Tianyang felt uneasy. How could a youth beat the Liu family?


    ¡°Follow him!¡± the two shouted from inside the room. However, no one in Green Leaf Village could catch up to Zhao Feng. Even Zhao Kayuan¡¯s speed was lees than half of his.


    Outside, Zhao Feng circulated Lightly Floating Ferry and leapt between the trees. His feet barely touched the ground as he ran. His Lightly Floating Ferry had reached the high level. But when he used this skill, Zhao Feng could also use Flowing Wind Stance with it.


    Flowing Wind Stance was the easiest move out of the four incomplete Holy martial arts. At this moment, when he used Flowing Wind Stance and Lightly Floating Ferry together, his figure became swifter and more agile as if he was the wind itself.


    _Teng! Teng!_


    Zhao Feng felt his body become lighter and the leaps he made become smoother.


    In another instant, his speed once again increased.


    _Shua!_


    A blur came and went at an unbelievable speed. Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t contain his happiness, this Flowing Wind Stance had such a wonderful effect. It could be seen that Zhao Linlong had gone off the right track when he mistaken it for an offensive skill.


    ****************


    _Green Leaf Village, Liu family..._


    ¡°Elder, a genius from the Zhao family came and injured our brothers," a cultivator of the Liu family said hurriedly.


    ¡°Hm? The measly Zhao family dares to hurt our people?¡± A portly middle aged man sat within the room.


    While he was speaking, he even drank slowly from his tea cup. He was the king of Green Leaf Village and all those who dared to challenge them for the past few years had all disappeared. A faction like the Zhao family was just an ant in the Liu family¡¯s eyes. If not for the main Zhao sect, the Liu family would have already been rid of them.


    ¡°Elder you¡¯ve got to help us. They¡¯re not putting you in their eyes at all," the fighters of the Liu family cried.


    ¡°Tell the Zhao family that we¡¯ll give the them one day to hand over that youth or else, ¡± the voice that emanated from the fat man was cold.


    ¡°Yes yes.¡± The expressions of the Liu family¡¯s fighters turned joyous.


    ¡°Not good! The youth of the Zhao family has come!¡± Just at that moment, screams erupted outside.


    _Plop! Plop!_


    A blur came into the mansion of the Liu family and no one could stop even one of its moves.


    ¡°Sect leader! Sect leader! The youth has already come inside the mansion and injured ten to twenty people!¡±


    Chaos broke out in the mansion.


    Within the lounge of the Liu family, the head of the family, Liu Guirong, sat with two elders and the sixth rank.


    ¡°That guy¡¯s speed is just too fast,¡± one elder as skinny as a branch said.


    ¡°When did the Zhao family have such a talented youth?¡± The portly elder''s expression was solemn.


    With their fifth rank cultivation, they couldn¡¯t even see how he moved. It was good that at this moment, the mansion turned calm as the youth didn¡¯t appear anymore.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes turned to the head of the sect, who had the highest cultivation. Liu Guirong¡¯s hair was white, but he still had a composed face. ¡°In terms of speed, I¡¯m not faster than him.¡±


    _How was this possible!?_ Hearts clenched. After all, Liu Guirong¡¯s cultivation had reached the sixth rank half a year ago and he became the strongest person in Green Leaf Village.


    What could they do? The Liu family felt that this was pretty troublesome.


    ¡°Obviously, if he faced me head on, I¡¯m certain I can win.¡± Only the sect leader was composed.


    ¡°Hmph! If that brat dares come here, I¡¯ll make sure he can¡¯t return," everyone shouted.


    At this moment, eighty percent of the high levels were present and the strength of them could crush any force within Green Leaf Village.


    If that youth from the Zhao family came¡­this was the plan that Liu Guirong set up.


    ¡°Haha, you¡¯re all together. That¡¯s the best! You save me the trouble of finding you all," a childish laugh came from the roof.


    The expressions of all the cultivators present changed. When did he reach the roof?


    _Boom!_


    The roof trembled as a youth ripped a hole in it and landed in the middle of the room.


    The person was Zhao Feng. His landing point was the exact middle of the room, which meant he was surrounded.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­thanks for coming!¡± The portly elder roared with joy.


    Smiles appeared on the Liu Guirong¡¯s and the skinny elder''s faces. The other six cultivators of the fourth rank were full of excitement as well.


    ¡°You¡¯re indeed excellent, but just a bit young.¡±


    Liu Guirong had his ''I will win'' face on. If Zhao Feng didn¡¯t come out directly, they couldn¡¯t do anything to him because he was too fast. But now¡­Zhao Feng had given up that advantage and faced them directly.


    At this moment, they were looking at Zhao Feng with ''you are a retard'' faces on. Zhao Feng immediately understood what was happening.


    ¡°It looks like you haven¡¯t understood who¡¯s the hunter and who¡¯s the hunted,¡± Zhao Feng smiled.


    ¡°Brat, die!¡±


    The cultivators closed in on him, full of excitement, only the head of sect had worry in his eyes. But Zhao Feng was already surrounded, so there shouldn¡¯t be any problems.


    ¡°Take him down!¡± the portly elder ordered.


    Howling Tiger Fist!


    Stone Shattering Palm!


    Flying Cloud Leg!


    The group of cultivators used different skills to attack Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng faced the attack of six people at once. Liu Guirong and the two elders guarded the exits to stop Zhao Feng from escaping.


    _Peng! Peng! Bang¡­_ A variety of skills landed on Zhao Feng.


    Metal Wall Rebound!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s whole body turned metal-like and rebounded the attacks.


    _Craaaaaack¡­_


    The sound of bones shattering never ended.


    _Plop! Plop! Plop¡­_


    The six men fell down to the ground, all seriously injured. The scene shocked the two elders and Liu Guirong.


    ¡°How¡­how did he do this?¡± the fat elder screamed.


    ¡°It¡¯s your turn.¡± Zhao Feng turned to face the three.


    ¡°Sir, we can talk diplomatically.¡± A smile that was even uglier than crying appeared on Liu Guirong¡¯s face. The strength that Zhao Feng had just shown had exceeded what they knew. Even Liu Guirong didn¡¯t have any confidence in beating Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you one day to take all of the men of the Liu family and leave Green Leaf Village or else I¡¯ll cripple all your cultivations,¡± Zhao Feng said.


    He had lived at Green Leaf Village for most of his life and he knew how the Liu family usually acted. Therefore, Zhao Feng¡¯s punishment was actually quite light.


    ¡°Yes yes yes!¡± Liu Guirong immediately answered and looked at the two elders.


    _They agreed this easily?_


    Just as Zhao Feng was wondering -


    Smashing Wind Palm!


    Liu Guirong¡¯s Inner Strength exploded as he shot out a high level martial art at Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°Dieeeeee!¡± The two elders attacked from the two sides.


    Under the short distance and the furious attacks of two fifth rankers and one sixth rank, even Zhao Feng was caught off guard.


    ¡°Kid, you¡¯re too young!¡± Liu Guirong laughed hysterically as his palm reached Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°Retards!¡± Zhao Feng coldly laughed and left an after-image where he originally stood.


    _Not good!_


    The attacks of Liu Guirong and the two elders had all missed, they didn¡¯t even get to touch Zhao Feng¡¯s clothes.


    _Shua!_


    The next moment, Zhao Feng appeared once again in the middle of the three exactly in the same position as before as if time had flowed backwards.


    _What!?_


    Cold sweat flooded the backs of Liu Guirong and the two elders.


    ¡°High ranked martial arts¡­peak level?¡± Liu Guirong barely managed to squeeze out these words.


    At this moment, they had finally realized how terrifying this youth really was.

 65 Archery God’s Left Eye

    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightly Floating Ferry had not only reached the high level, his Lightly Micro Step had also consolidated at perfection when he had merged the Flowing Wind Stance with it. There was no one in Sun Feather City who had reached perfection of a high ranked martial art, including the older generation.


    ¡°If you¡¯re going to be ungrateful, then don¡¯t blame me for not holding back.¡± Zhao Feng released his killing intent.


    Just now Liu Guirong and the two elders had tried to kill him. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he was strong, he might have died.


    Just as Liu Guirong had said, Zhao Feng was still too soft-hearted. To be kind to the enemy was to be cruel to yourself.


    ¡°Breaking Wind Palm, die¡­"


    Liu Guirong pretended to use his killing move, but in reality, his figure went in the opposite direction.


    _Run!_


    The two elders reacted as well. By now, they understood the difference between them and Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Stay!¡± Zhao Feng ordered as his figure leapt into the air and stabbed out his finger multiple times.


    _Ssss¡­sssss¡­ssss¡­_


    Hissing sounds came from the air. Three azure lights pierced the air and hit their targets.


    ¡°Wuu¡­ ¡±


    Liu Guirong¡¯s body stiffened as a hole the size of a finger appeared on his forehead. The expression of fear and shock remained on his face.


    Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t even come close to him, so how did a hole appear on his forehead? The two elders had seen how Zhao Feng moved, but two blood stains appeared on their chests as well.


    _Plop! Plop!_


    The two elders of the fifth rank fell to the ground, dead. Zhao Feng had used his Spatial Star Finger to kill them.


    _Teng!_


    At this time, Zhao Feng landed on the ground again. He had killed the three of them in only a breath¡¯s time. A Martial Master would probably have difficulty in doing this, but Zhao Feng had increased reaction speed and his left eye had locked on to his targets.


    ¡°Spare us!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s cold-blooded methods had stunned the six injured Martial Artists on the ground.


    In their eyes, Zhao Feng¡¯s methods could be said to be on par with Martial Masters. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother to deal with them as he walked slowly out of the lounge.


    At this time, the people of the branch sect had finally arrived.


    Coming into the lounge of the Liu family, the sect leader Zhao Kayuan looked at Zhao Feng deeply.


    ¡°This is a warning and example for all the powers inside Green Leaf Village.¡± Zhao Feng stood on the rooftop as his voice resound through the village.


    An example!


    The hearts of everyone trembled as they understood the meaning of the youth¡¯s words. From now on, if any power within Green Leaf Village dared to infuriate the Zhao family, this would be their outcome.


    A family such as the Liu¡¯s had reached such a state, what would theirs be in comparison? The genius produced from the Zhao family could threaten all the powers in the Green Leaf Village now.


    Solving this problem, Zhao Feng left the other small matters for Zhao Kayuan to deal with. Green Leaf Village was the place he had grown up in, and he had deep emotions for this place.


    Now that he had enough strength, he was obviously going to protect it. Zhao Feng only stayed in the village for one day before he left.


    His goal was the outside world. Green Leaf Village and Sun Feather City couldn¡¯t hold him.


    ******************************


    A few hours later, Zhao Feng arrived back at the main Zhao family. Tomorrow, he was going to leave this place and enter a brand new stage. But before he left, Zhao Feng still made his last preparations as packed his important items, which included the thousand-year blood plant, bamboo, and spirit plant.


    Furthermore, there was still the silver bow which Zhao Feng decided to take. But unexpectedly, the high levels decided to give him a better one.


    ¡°We know that you¡¯re very talented with the bow, so we¡¯re going to give this Golden Stairs Bow to you. The bow is one of the weapons of our ancestors and only Martial Masters can use it¡¯s full power.¡± Elder Zhao handed over a wooden box.


    Opening the box, a golden bow lay silently there. Its look was simple, but the bowstring glowed faintly gold. Gently, he pulled the golden string, and found that there was quite a bit of resistance. One had to know that Zhao Feng¡¯s Metal Wall Technique had reached the fifth level, so in strength alone he was even stronger than Martial Masters.


    _Weng!_


    The string trembled as he let go. He was certain that this Golden Stairs Bow had surpassed the Silver Bow in many attributes.


    ¡°When did the family become so nice as to give me silver and weapons?¡± Although Zhao Feng said this, he was still pleased with this bow. With the help of the Golden Stairs Bow, he could threaten the lives of cultivators of the seventh rank.


    That day, Zhao Feng stayed inside his room, getting familiar with the bow. Within his mind, his Flowing Meteor Archery Skill merged with his mind. With Zhao Feng¡¯s enhanced vision, normal skills didn¡¯t come into his eyes at all.


    ¡°I need to fully merge all of the archery skills to be able to use half the potential of my left eye.¡±


    Zhao Feng had the first-born advantage in archery, normal archery skills didn¡¯t help him at all. Obviously, he still needed a few days to merge all these archery skills together.


    ******************


    _The next morning..._


    Both Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei arrived early. The two looked at each other and smiled. After the summit, the two now stood at the peak of Sun Feather City.


    Soon, the head of the sect arrived as well. Facing Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei, the elders were all very respectful because they knew their futures were immeasurable. With their potential, they might be able to lead the Zhao family to a greater height.


    _Shua!_


    An azure blur appeared on the rooftop of the hall and a handsome man appeared. It was Master Ye, but no one had seen how he arrived.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei the three days have passed, you two will now come with me to the Guanjun Province City,¡± Ye Linyun smiled faintly.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng replied in unison.


    The man standing in front of them was one of the strongest people in the Cloud Country, the entire Zhao family had no chance against him.


    _Ceng! Ceng!_


    The two followed Ye Linyun and sat in a carriage that headed northwards.


    *******************


    _Under the shadow of a tree outside of the Zhao family¡¯s gate..._


    ¡°It¡¯s better this way¡­with Yufei¡¯s potential and secret¡­¡± A one-armed old man sent the carriage away with his eyes.


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei headed towards Guanjun Province City. The distance from Guanjun Province City and Sun Feather City took over four days for the carriage to travel. In this time, Zhao Feng merged the essence of the archery skills together to create his own skill.


    Because this skill was built on various other skills and his left eye, he decided to name it ''Archery God¡¯s Left Eye''. The Left Eye stood for for his own eye which came from an Ancient God. As time passed, the skill started to form.


    ¡°My Archery God¡¯s Left Eye relies on the abilities of my left eye. The essence of the skill probably surpasses peak ranked martial arts,¡± Zhao Feng estimated.


    Archery skills were quite rare, there weren¡¯t any peak ranked archery skills in the Zhao family¡¯s Martial Arts Library.


    On the journey, Ye Linyun spent most of his time cross-legged, cultivating.


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. Ye Linyun had reached the ninth rank already and he was still putting in so much effort.


    If the legendary Holy Martial Path was excluded, didn¡¯t that mean the ninth rank was the strongest?


    As if sensing Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze, Ye Linyun opened his eyes. ¡°There¡¯s still half a day before we reach Guanjun Province City. Do you have any questions you would like me to answer?¡±


    Asking a Martial Master of the ninth rank questions? Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei saw the excitement in each other¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°What kind of realm is the Holy Martial Path?¡± Zhao Feng asked immediately.


    ¡°Holy Martial Path is the realm above the ninth rank, but since I haven¡¯t reached it I can¡¯t really tell you much about it. But according to the books, once someone reaches the Holy Martial Path, their bodies will undergo certain changes and their lifespans will increase. You could understand it as surpassing the limits of the human body,¡± Ye Linyun answered.


    _Surpassing the limits of the human body?_


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but remember the Burning Wind Stance. The move seemed to engulf everything standing in its way, and a mortal body didn¡¯t seem able to unleash that kind of power.


    ¡°Those that reach the Holy Martial Path are all geniuses. You can count them with one hand in Cloud Country.¡± An admiring look appeared in Ye Linyun¡¯s eyes.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei both asked Ye Linyun more questions.


    ¡°The nine ranks of the Martial Path train one¡¯s body, a path from the skin to the organs. Therefore, it¡¯s best to set a solid foundation to have a better chance of reaching the Holy Martial Path,¡± Ye Linyun emphasized.


    Zhao Feng kept this in his heart, vaguely realizing that the nine ranks of the Martial Path didn¡¯t seem to emphasize killing or fighting.


    ¡°We¡¯re almost there.¡± The speed of the carriage started to slow down.


    At a certain point, a tiny black dot appeared within their sights.


    In Zhao Feng¡¯s vision, the black dot became bigger and bigger and soon, it turned into a magnificent city at least four times larger than Sun Feather City. It seemed like an enormous beast as its gates engulfed the unlimited numbers of horses, carriages, and people entering¡­

 66 Guanjun Palace

    Zhao Feng was able to inspect Guangjun Province City thirty kilometers away, while the others, including Ye Linyun, still saw it as a tiny black dot.


    Within his left eye, the azure light had reached 2.1 meters in radius, matching his cultivation.


    Zhao Feng had discovered that ever since he entered the sixth rank, the progress of his cultivation had started to slow down, unlike his martial arts. According to Ye Linyun, the nine ranks of the Martial Path strove to perfect one¡¯s body. So as one reached the later ranks, the harder it was to progress.


    **************


    The carriage soon entered the rich Province City.


    On the way, Zhao Feng realized that any random youth would have the cultivation of the third or fourth rank.


    The buildings here were far more majestic, it was not something Sun Feather City could compare to. Finally, the carriage entered the depths of the city and stopped near a rich and noble palace. Compared to it, the Zhao family¡¯s mansion was just like an old bathroom, it wasn''t even close to being on the same level.


    Just the front gate alone was several carriages wide. What surprised them more was that the eight guards at the front gate had already reached the fourth rank or higher.


    ¡°Cultivators of the fourth rank are only guards here?¡± Zhao Feng was slightly dazed.


    Being born in a small village and cultivating to this level, he understood how much effort and pain it took. Martial Artists of the fourth rank or higher would even be respected in Sun Feather City.


    ¡°This is the Guanjun Palace and it is the most influential place in the city. I¡¯ll soon transfer you guys to the Sky Guards Battalion where we train our geniuses,¡± Ye Linyun warned.


    Guanjun Palace! Sky Guards Battalion!


    The breathing rates of Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei increased. After entering the Guanjun Palace, Zhao Feng realized that almost every cultivator was of the fourth rank or higher. Zhao Feng even saw three Martial Masters of the seventh rank.


    Soon, Ye Linyun led the two to an old dirty field. It was weird that an old dirty field such as this would appear in the middle of the Guanjun Palace. On the field, there were a few tents and a small number of wooden rooms. In the very middle was the only building.


    ¡°This is the forbidden area of the Guanjun Palace ¨C the Sky Guards Battalion, which was created by Lord Guanjun himself in the hope of raising some geniuses. At the same time, this is the backup of the Guanjun Corps.¡± Ye Linyun walked forward.


    Sky Guards Battalion?


    _We¡¯re going to live in this sh*tty place?_ Zhao Feng stared at the dirty muddy field with ten wooden rooms and a few more tents. The environment here was so cr*p that it couldn''t even compare to Green Leaf Village.


    ¡°Haha, Master Ye. These are the two geniuses you brought?¡± A white bearded old man came from the other side with a black-clothed youth following behind him.


    ¡°Master Hu,¡± Ye Linyun signaled to the white bearded old man.


    While they were speaking, Master Hu casually looked over Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.


    Instantly, the two felt as if all their secrets had been exposed. Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook, this old man¡¯s cultivation was probably even higher than Ye Linyun¡¯s.


    It could be seen that the Guanjun Palace did indeed have an unique position, with two Martial Masters of the ninth rank here.


    ¡°He¡¯s Huang Qi, a genius I picked from the Pearl Tree City, just fifteen years old and already at the sixth rank,¡± the old man smiled happily as he introduced the youth standing behind him.


    Fifteen years old and already at the sixth rank. His talent was indeed good. The youth named Huan Qi casually glanced at Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei, but surprise was seen in his eyes as he looked at the two.


    Both the white-bearded old man and Master Ye were in charge of sending their geniuses here. After they sent the three to the gate, the two Masters immediately stopped.


    ¡°I¡¯ll send you up to here. You better perform well because Lord Guanjun will be coming out of secluded meditation next month¡­,¡± Ye Linyun warned them before leaving.


    Being a Martial Master of the ninth rank, his time was precious too.


    The white-bearded old man also talked to Huang Qi. ¡°Lord Guanjun is known for his love of geniuses, especially young ones. You need to grasp this chance to change your destiny.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master Hu,¡± Huan Qi took a deep breath and solemnly answered.


    Lord Guanjun was a legend in this country, and the Sky Guards Battalion was created by him. If Huan Qi stayed here and cultivated, not only would he receive resources from the Guanjun Palace, he would also get the chance to see the legendary Lord Guanjun.


    The two from the Zhao family walked into the dirty fields with Huang Qi. On the way, they saw many youths of the same age. Most of them were between the ages of twelve and eighteen, but the majority were under sixteen. This meant that their ages were all similar.


    ¡°Twelve years old, third rank¡­¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue.


    The two children who had just walked past were both twelve years old and they had reached the third rank. One needed to remember that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even step into the Martial Path until he was twelve.


    Furthermore, youths of fourteen and fifteen years of age could be seen everywhere, and their cultivation was all at least of the fourth rank, with some even reaching the fifth or sixth rank. The scene turned the expression of the slightly arrogant Huang Qi solemn.


    ¡°These three are probably new.¡± The youths of the Sky Guards Battalion looked curiously at the three, but the majority of the gazes landed on Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei was beautiful and she had a pure, almost angelic aura to her.


    ¡°Look, there¡¯s a beautiful girl genius here.¡±


    Figures started to appear from within the Sky Guards Battalion. Looking at these new faces, sparks lit up their eyes. Entering the Sky Guards Battalion, Zhao Feng and the other two all knew these were the geniuses from across the country.


    ¡°It should be here.¡±


    The three of them made their way to the center where the building was. As they had just entered the Sky Guards Battalion, they needed to come report here.


    ¡°Are you three new?¡± a lazy voice sounded from behind.


    _What!?_


    Cold sweat appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s back as he turned around and saw a silver-clad youth there.


    The three jumped in fear, when did this person appear? Soon, Zhao Feng realized that the clothes were familiar. He suddenly realized that on the day of the summit, there was a similar figure wearing the same silver outfit, and he had injured the elder of the Qiu family.


    ¡°My name is Third Guard and I am the supervisor of the Sky Guards Battalion. From today, you¡¯re a member of the Sky Guards Battalion¡­now listen to the rules¡­" The youths words were simple and short.


    The rules of the Sky Guards Battalion were strict.


    First, every member could only leave once a month. Second, different people received different treatments. Third, as long as no one was seriously injured/crippled/dead, you could do whatever you wanted.


    The first and third rules were easy to understand.


    But what did the second one mean?


    **********************************


    That afternoon, Zhao Feng understood the reason.


    There were only ten wooden rooms and thirty tents in the Sky Guards Battalion. Because the three had just arrived, they all received an old worn tent which the three could just fit perfectly in.


    ¡°We¡¯re supposed to sleep here?¡± Huang Qi tried to suppress his anger.


    The old worn tent could barely block the rain and wind; for anything else it was completely useless. Being the genius of Pearl Tree City, when had he received such treatment?


    Zhao Feng furrowed his brow. For him it was alright, but Zhao Yufei was a girl, and a pretty one too. This sh*tty tent couldn¡¯t even block most private parts.


    Zhao Yufei bit her lip, but said nothing.


    ¡°Oi, new kids, all you need to do to enter the wooden rooms is beat their original owners,¡± a skinny youth walked over grinning and warned them.


    The three immediately turned their gazes to the ten wooden rooms. The rooms were numbered One through Ten. It was obvious that these ten were the elite of the elite.


    ¡°Good! All I need to do to get a wooden room is just beat the original owner.¡± Huang Qi couldn¡¯t help but rub his hands together.


    He had complete confidence that with his sixth rank cultivation and being the top genius of Pearl Tree City, he could easily get a room.


    ****************


    _Dinner time..._


    The few Guanjun guards brought the food to the youth in their tents.


    ¡°Peh! Pfff! What kind of food is this? It¡¯s like the food I feed my pigs!¡± Huang Qi tasted some, but immediately spat it out.


    It was just too disgusting.


    Zhao Feng chewed a bit and also spat it out. The food they had received had all gone old. But the three soon realized that the guards who went to the wooden rooms had plates full of delicious, tasty food.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± Huang Qi cursed and stood up.


    It was obvious that the youths living inside the wooden rooms received better treatment.


    ¡°The youths inside the wooden rooms are known as the Ten Sky Guards. Where the rest of us eat leftover cr*p, they get to eat the wonders of the world and they have their own personal servants. Every month, we get two thousand one hundred pieces of silver, while they get at least ten thousand and receive a variety of pills and resources. Apparently, if you become one of the Ten Sky Guards, there¡¯s a chance to receive pointers from Lord Guanjun himself¡­,¡± the skinny youth from before informed them, talking about the different treatments they received.


    Now, Zhao Feng fully understood the meaning of the second rule, different people did indeed get different treatments.


    All that mattered here was strength. Only through strength would you receive respect.


    ¡°I want to challenge someone!¡± Huang Qi howled as he threw the overdue food on the ground and sprinted in the direction of the wooden rooms.

 67 Ten Sky Guards

    The howl from Huang Qi caught the attention of Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng.


    He was going to challenge someone?


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei exchanged glances and watched Huang Qi sprint towards the direction of the wooden rooms.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­now the show begins¡­¡± Figures started to appear from within the tents.


    ¡°He has some guts to challenge the Ten Sky Guards on the first day.¡±


    ¡°He does have the right to, though, he¡¯s at the sixth rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned the youths coming out of their tents and found that most of their cultivations were at the fourth or fifth rank.


    There were a few slightly older ones at the sixth rank as well. The person with the worst potential here was already on par with Sun Feather City¡¯s Zhao Linlong.


    Soon, Huang Qi arrived in front of the ten wooden rooms, which had numbers according to their strength. The tenth owner was the tenth strongest and because it was Huang Qi¡¯s first time challenging someone, he obviously picked the guy at the end.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ who dares to challenge me, Li Changfeng?¡± An arrogant laughter came from within the room.


    With a creak, the door opened and a youth bearing many scars came out.


    Number ten Li Changfeng had only reached the peak fifth rank, but he was full of a menacing aura.


    ¡°Hmph! A lowly fifth rank dares to be arrogant!¡±


    On the muddy field, the two faced off.


    ¡°Arrogant or not, you¡¯ll soon know.¡± Li Changfeng laughed and took out a pitch black sword with many holes on it, just like the scars on his body.


    ¡°Stop talking and fight!¡±


    Huang Qi¡¯s figure blurred as he used a high ranked martial art that had reached the peak level. ¡°Thirteen Legs of the Willow!¡± Huang Qi exclaimed as he performed another high ranked martial art of the peak level.


    Just these two skills alone let him dominate the youths of the Pearl Tree City.


    Breaking Rock Sword!


    Li Changfeng¡¯s curved blade was sliced out and a dark red Inner Strength appeared on it. The level of that move had reached perfection!


    _Peng!_


    The two high ranked skills collided heavily together.


    Huang Qi hmphed and retreated back a few steps.


    High ranked martial art¡­perfection? Huang Qi couldn¡¯t believe what he was seeing. Next to Zhao Feng, shock also appeared in Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes.


    Splitting the Rocks!


    Li Changfeng attacked once again and his menacing aura became stronger and stronger¡­


    Feathers of the Flying Bird!


    Under the pressure, Huang Qi used another skill which allowed him to just dodge the attack.


    ¡°Heavenly Rock Shatter!¡± Li Changfeng shouted and in the night, that blade seemed as it could destroy the mountains.


    ¡°The power of this move exceeds the original move.¡±


    ¡°What a terrifying blow.¡±


    The hearts of the youths watching clenched. The menacing aura accompanied with his sword skill seemed to split the sky.


    Flying Wind Palm!


    At the point of danger, Huang Qi didn¡¯t hold back any longer and he suddenly used a peak ranked palm skill. The palm seemed to push away the clouds.


    _Clang¡ª¡ª_


    The energy clashed together and another hole was formed in the field.


    _Wah!_


    Huang Qi spat out a mouthful of blood midair and a red gash could be seen on his shirt. That move of Li Changfeng¡¯s was just too terrifying and it felt like it could slay anyone in its way. Under the confrontation, Li Changfeng wasn¡¯t even injured; he only shook a little.


    ¡°Are you alright?¡± Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei hurriedly picked up Huang Qi.


    ¡°How could I lose¡­ ?¡°


    Huang Qi wasn¡¯t seriously injured but he was full of shock and disbelief. Being the top genius of Pearl Tree City and a cultivator of the sixth rank, how could he not even beat someone of the fifth?


    Being a spectator, Zhao Feng saw more clearly what had happened.


    Firstly, Li Changfeng had heaps of battle experience; this could be seen by all the scars on his body. Secondly, Li Changfeng¡¯s sword skill had reached an extremely high level. Combined with the terrifying aura, his moves seemed even more deadly. Many people had seen these two points, but they didn¡¯t see the third.


    Li Changfeng¡¯s body was extremely strong and it was on par with the fourth level of Metal Wall Technique.


    ¡°Strong,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    He and Zhao Yufei picked up Huang Qi in silence as they walked back.


    ¡°Oi, new boy, you wanted to challenge the Ten Sky Guards with just your strength?¡±


    ¡°Hehe, he wasn¡¯t even able to exchange more than three moves with the Ten Sky Guards. It doesn¡¯t seem that the new people this time are very good.¡± From the sides came laughter.


    The three had just entered the Sky Guards Battalion and they were counted as newbies. In the midst of laughter, Zhao Yufei had caught the attention of many youths as well.


    ¡°Hahaha! Pretty girl, if you feel your tent isn¡¯t comfortable, you can come to my room!¡± Li Changfeng had just seen Zhao Yufei¡¯s beauty and he was entranced by it as well.


    The words caused the youths nearby to roar out in laughter. Zhao Yufei¡¯s face was cold and her fists were clenched, it was obvious that she was about to challenge him.


    ¡°You¡¯re not his opponent!¡± A powerful hand clasped her jade-like wrists.


    Zhao Feng had stopped her because his left eye had analyzed the results. Although their cultivation was the same level, Li Changfeng had more battle experience and he was far more fierce.


    If Zhao Yufei challenged Li Changfeng, she had a maximum chance of forty percent to win.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Zhao Yufei¡¯s cheeks turned slightly red and although she seemed unwilling, she didn¡¯t struggle.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, where did this brat come from?¡±


    Li Changfeng licked his lips and the fierceness in his eye increased.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t be bothered and left the area while pulling Zhao Yufei¡¯s Hand.


    ¡°Want to leave?¡± Li Changfeng turned into a wisp of wind and moved to block their path. His high ranked speed skill had also reached the peak level.


    ¡°Do you want to fight?¡± Zhao Feng coldly said.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ don¡¯t you know the rules of the Sky Guards Battalion? As long as they¡¯re not seriously injured or crippled, you can fight all you want!¡± Li Changfeng roared out in laughter.


    Sympathy could be felt in the gazes of the youths nearby. Yes, the Sky Guards Battalion didn¡¯t forbid fighting. On the contrary, they promoted it.


    ¡°It¡¯s better this way.¡±


    Dangerous light shone in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes. ¡°Wait, Zhao Yufei, I¡¯ll get a room for you.¡±


    His words caused the youths nearby and Li Changfeng to stiffen, but after that came the laughter.


    ¡°Brother Feng¡­"


    Zhao Yufei seemed to be worried. Although she knew Zhao Feng was strong, she didn¡¯t have complete confidence that he could win.


    _Shua!_


    The youth next to her suddenly disappeared and within the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Li Changfeng.


    What speed! All the youths watching only felt a blur.


    ¡°Perfection of a high ranked speed skill.¡± Li Changfeng immediately used his full strength as well.


    After all his speed skill was only close to perfection, it hadn¡¯t reached it yet.


    _Shua! Shua!_


    As the two exchanged blows, it was obvious Zhao Feng had the upper hand.


    ¡°Splitting the Rocks!¡± Li Changfeng¡¯s menacing blade once again appeared.


    This move had beaten back Huang Qi of the sixth rank just then.


    Under Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, he realized that the opponent had purposely put part of his menacing aura into it to make the blade more fierce. This menacing aura could only be obtained by killing people, it was hard to wonder what kind of past this youth had.


    ¡°One Line Star Finger!¡± Zhao Feng exclaimed as he used his ultimate move.


    _Sssss¡ª¡ª_


    An azure light pierced through the air and clashed heavily with Li Changfeng¡¯s blade.


    _Clang¡ª- Dang~_


    Blood leaked from Li Changfeng¡¯s mouth as he retreated a few steps, full of fear.


    How powerful was One Star Finger? It also had the power from Metal Wall Technique.


    Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s finger left meteor streaks in the night and they were extremely beautiful. Li Changfeng managed to block five moves and although injuries started to appear, he didn¡¯t give up or admit defeat.


    ¡°What a strong will.¡± Although Zhao Feng admired him, he disliked his opponent¡¯s ferocity, so he didn¡¯t hold back.


    _Ssss!_


    Li Changfeng groaned in pain as his curved blade was kicked from his hand.


    _Hua!_


    A hubbub broke out among the spectators. The always arrogant and fierce Li Changfeng had been beaten by a youth younger than him.


    ¡°You¡¯re very strong¡­ I won¡¯t lose to you next time.¡± Li Chanfeng picked himself up from the ground and took his possessions from the wooden room. This also meant that the room was not his anymore.


    ¡°He won¡­¡± Huang Qi stared dazed at the youth in front of him.


    The three had all entered the Sky Guards Battalion together and he hadn¡¯t put Zhao Feng in his eyes at the beginning.


    After beating Li Changfeng, Zhao Feng could finally move into the wooden room. The ten on his door meant that he was ranked tenth in the Ten Sky Guards.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng could feel the awe, respect, and wariness in the gazes of those looking at him¡­

 68 Feng Hanyue

    Zhao Feng nodded his head, moved into the wooden room that had once belonged to Li Changfeng, and found that the area inside wasn¡¯t large. It only had one bed and a table inside, but the difference between this and the tents were like a palace and bathroom.


    He thought about it, and decided to give it to Zhao Yufei as she needed it more.


    ¡°This is the room that Brother Feng won with his strength, I can¡¯t live in it. One day, I¡¯ll use my own strength to take it¡­¡± Zhao Yufei bit her teeth and no matter how much Zhao Feng tried to persuade her, she didn¡¯t agree.


    Furthermore, the rules said that only the Ten Sky Guards could enter, so Zhao Feng only helped move Zhao Yufei¡¯s tent next to his room.


    ¡°I hope that Brother Zhao can look after me a bit.¡± Huang Qi¡¯s words were now far more respectful than before.


    The rules promoted fighting and those that were strong had the best treatment. Those that didn¡¯t have strong abilities would get beaten up. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t disagree and went back to his room to cultivate again. Ever since he had reached the sixth rank, Zhao Feng had felt his progress in cultivating decrease. If he was able to go one step further, he would become a Martial Master, which was an entire new level!


    He had never seen any Martial Masters under the age of forty in Sun Feather City.


    Two hours later, the green azure light was still 2.1 meters in the dimension of his left eye.


    _According to this speed, I still need at least a year to reach the seventh rank,_ Zhao Feng thought about it, then he took out his three one thousand year old plants.


    That night, he ate the thousand year blood plant. The thousand year blood plant was even useful for those of the seventh rank.


    After eating it, Zhao Feng immediately did his best to absorb the surges of energy. Because his Metal Wall Technique had reached the fifth level, his body was strong enough the withstand the energy of the thousand year blood plant. The merging of his left eye had also changed his body and his blood, so he was able to absorb more energy than others.


    Two hours later, Zhao Feng had absorbed most of the energy. Inside his left eye, the green light had reached 2.2 meters.


    _I¡¯ll be able to reach the late stages of the sixth rank once I take another one_ , Zhao Feng thought about it, but it wasn¡¯t good to continuously eat these resources as there was impurities in them, which if overused would restrict his potential.


    On the second morning, Zhao Feng walked out of the room full of energy. Soon, there were servants sending food to him, and they were very polite.


    According to the rules of the Sky Guards Battalion, Zhao Feng received ten thousand pieces of silver and a few pills. Fortunately, today was the last day of the month and Zhao Feng got these items.


    The ten thousand silver was for the tenth Sky Guard, apparently each rank higher would receive one thousand silver more than the previous one.


    The pills and resources he received were not much use for him since he had already reached the late stages of the sixth rank, so he decided to give some to Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Hehe, newbie, hand over half your items.¡± From a wooden room not far away, a fairly handsome youth walked over.


    The youth was extremely clean and handsome, it was hard to believe he was one to say such words.


    ¡°Number five of the Ten Sky Guards, Lu Xiaoyun.¡±


    ¡°Lu Xiaoyun always takes resources from those ranked below him.¡±


    The youths nearby discussed it. Zhao Feng also inspected this Lu Xiaoyun. He was only fourteen, fifteen years old, not much older than Zhao Feng, but he had already reached the peak sixth rank.


    ¡°If you have the ability to do so,¡± Zhao Feng snickered.


    ¡°Newbie, don¡¯t think that you¡¯re good just because you beat Li Changfeng. Li Changfeng can¡¯t even exchange three moves with me,¡± Lu Xiaoyu said slowly, and when he looked at Zhao Feng, it was with his chin.


    Obviously in his eyes, Zhao Feng was the same as Li Changfeng, two little mosquitoes. There was a certain amount of difference in strength between every rank.


    ¡°What¡¯s that got to do with me?¡± Zhao Feng sneered, and walked away in the other direction. ¡°If you want to fight, then do it. If not, then go away!¡±


    What!?


    Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s expression turned dim. Zhao Feng¡¯s was looking down on him. Only he had ever looked down on others, and he had received the same treatment today. his angry blood surged.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Lu Xiaoyu turned into a blur and disappeared.


    _Hu!_


    Zhao Feng only felt a small gust of wind come from his side. So fast!


    In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiaoyu had blocked Zhao Feng¡¯s path. To have such speed meant that his peak ranked speed skill had reached the high level.


    Lightly Micro Step!


    Zhao Feng left an afterimage behind as he dodged Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s attack.


    ¡°Seems like you¡¯re not that worthless!¡±


    Lu Xiaoyu was pretty shocked because his peak ranked martial art had reached the high level, and apart from number one Feng Hanyue, no one could beat him in terms of speed. But he found out that Zhao Feng¡¯s high ranked speed skill had reached perfection, and its effect was even better than his own.


    _Shua! Shua!_


    The two figures interwove, but none of them could beat the other.


    ¡°Thunderbolt Fist!¡±


    Lu Xiaoyu suddenly used a peak ranked martial art and as he did so, the sky rumbled.


    Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng instantly used his Star Finger and at the same time, he pushed the power of his Metal Wall Technique near the fifth level. Even with all that, he still wasn¡¯t able to fully block the Thunderbolt Fist.


    _Hong¡ª-_


    The sound of Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s fists became louder and louder as his peak sixth rank cultivation had the upper hand. Zhao Feng had suppressed his cultivation to the peak fifth level, so he was unable to confront him straight on.


    Just as Zhao Feng was thinking if he should use some of his hidden strength-


    ¡°Stop!¡± a commanding voice came from the side. The owner of the voice was a bald youth with a robe of silver that shone under the sunlight.


    ¡°It¡¯s number two Lei Cong.¡± Fear appeared on the youth¡¯s faces.


    The pair fighting also stopped.


    Zhao Feng clearly saw the wariness and fear inside Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s eyes. The bald headed youth had reached the peak sixth rank and he had touched the barrier of the seventh. He was number two of the Ten Sky Guards, Lei Cong. Facing him, both Zhao Feng and Lu Xiaoyu felt the pressure emitting from him.


    ¡°Lei Cong, why did you stop our battle?¡± Lu Xiaoyu questioned.


    Lei Cong shook his head. ¡°The overseer has ordered the Ten Sky Guards to gather to discuss something.¡±


    Gathering of the Ten Sky Guards?


    Curiosity and shock appeared on everyone¡¯s faces. The Sky Guards Battalion never had had such a situation before. What did they want to discuss?


    ***************


    _Soon..._


    Zhao Feng followed Lei Cong to the building at the center of the field. This was the one and only building on the field, and was where the supervisor lived. Entering the building, there were already a few youths there, and all of them had reached the sixth rank.


    The people present were all part of the Ten Sky Guards.


    ¡°Who¡¯s this brat?¡± One or two youths seemed to reject Zhao Feng.


    ¡°He beat Li Changfeng and became one of the Ten Sky Guards¡­¡± Lu Xiaoyu said expressionlessly.


    He beat Li Changfeng? This brat was also one of the Ten Sky Guards?


    The youths present took back their cockiness.


    Soon, nine people including Zhao Feng had arrived, with Lei Cong having the strongest cultivation.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t Feng Hanyue coming?¡± one person asked.


    ¡°Even though he¡¯s lazy, he should still be here.¡±


    Feng Hanyue was the number one genius of the Ten Sky Guards.


    Just as they were questioning this, a beautiful youth with silver hair walked in. At first, Zhao Feng felt that this person was a girl, but the second the youth released his aura, Zhao Feng felt the air become denser.


    Every action the beautiful youth made gave off a powerful aura, as if his Inner Strength would come pouring out with just a thought.


    _Ssss!_


    Zhao Feng took in a cold breath. This Feng Hanyue had reached the seventh rank!


    The seventh rank!


    The other nine didn¡¯t dare look Feng Hanyue in the eye.


    _So strong! He¡¯s not even sixteen and he is already a Martial Master._


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t stop his shock. From what he had learned in Sun Feather City, most cultivators never broke through to the seventh rank and stayed at the peak sixth rank until they died.


    For example, although many of the so-called Ten Sky Guards were at the peak sixth rank, they might stay like that for tens of years or forever.


    One could see how hard it was to become a Martial Master, but someone in the Sky Guards Battalion had become one at only sixteen years old!


    As Feng Hanyue arrived, he casually scanned across the others and looked at the new face for a second more, but didn¡¯t do anything.


    In his eyes, even geniuses such as Lei Cong and Lu Xiaoyun were nothing.

 69 Kill Squad

    ¡°What do you think the discussion¡¯s about?¡±


    ¡°I heard that Lord Guanjun will be coming out of secluded meditation next month, could it be related to this?¡±


    A few of the smart youths already had their guesses.


    Sky Guards Battalion was a special force in the Guanjun Palace, and it had two aims: One was to raise geniuses, and the other was to supply new blood for the Guanjun Corps.


    The creator of this organization was Lord Guanjun himself.


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s here,¡± a cold and emotionless voice echoed in the building.


    _Shua!_


    The youths only felt a blur before a person appeared.


    ¡°Third Guard.¡± The Ten Sky Guards bowed their heads, including Feng Hanyue.


    Third Guard was only a nickname and represented this person. Everyone knew that Lord Guanjun had eighteen Guanjun Corpsmen and they helped him in the shadows. All of them were Martial Masters, and their strength was far greater than normal Martial Masters.


    The guard that had appeared on the summit that day was ranked seventeenth, but he had beaten the Qiu family elder in two moves. The Third Guard in front of them had even greater strength.


    ¡°You should all know that Lord Guanjun will come out of secluded meditation in one month.¡± The guard¡¯s voice was simple and straightforward.


    Of course they knew!


    The youths present nodded their heads, full of expectation. Lord Guanjun was a legend in the Cloud Country and he had already received the title ''Unbeatable'', his fame had even spread to neighboring countries.


    ¡°There¡¯s one piece of news I want to announce. When Lord Guanjun comes out, he will take in one or a few disciples out of you all.¡± Envy appeared in his eyes as he said this.


    Lord Guanjun was taking in disciples?


    As soon as he finished his words, the youths flushed red from excitement. Many would die without regrets just to see Lord Guanjun, and if they were able to receive pointers from him, that would be a dream.


    But to become his disciple was something they never even considered. After all, Lord Guanjun had a high authority in this country and he had apparently reached the Holy Martial Path¡­


    Excitement shone on Zhao Feng¡¯s face, it looked like it was a good decision to come here. Here, he could interact with geniuses all over the country, and he had the chance to see the legendary Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°There¡¯s still one month! The Sky Guards Battalion is giving you a chance at actual combat.¡± When he spoke, a smile appeared on his lips.


    Actual combat?


    The ten were all curious and expectant at the same time. Being at the Sky Guards Battalion, they had many chances to spar and fight. But they hadn¡¯t experienced many life and death situations.


    ¡°There have been some bandits around lately, with all of them at the fourth rank or higher. There¡¯s also suspicions of them being sent by our neighbor, the Maple Fire Country. Your mission is to eliminate these bandits, while protecting the nearby villages at the same time,¡± Third Guard spoke.


    Bandits? Sent by neighboring countries?


    Although they were curious, most of them were also excited.


    ¡°Sir Third Guard, why doesn¡¯t the Guanjun Palace just send their troops over and crush them?¡± Lei Cong asked for all of them.


    ¡°Good question!¡± The man explained, ¡°The bandits are extremely cunning, as they don¡¯t always appear at the same place every time¡­they also sometimes pretend to be commoners. Anyways, the chance of eliminating them by sending our troops over is very low¡­therefore, the Guanjun Palace has decided to give this chance to you youths.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng understood immediately. The Guanjun Palace gave this mission to them because they lacked combat experience.


    ¡°I hope that through this your potentials will be further revealed. The Guanjun Palace had set this up so that for any bandit of the fourth rank you kill, you receive one battle point; for every fifth rank you kill you receive two battle points; and if you¡¯re able to kill the leader, you get twenty battle points! Those that rank highest get extra rewards,¡± Third Guard continued.


    ¡°May I ask what do battle points do?¡± One of the youths asked.


    ¡°You can spend the battle points at the Treasury Hall, where you can exchange it for Martial Arts, resources and weapons¡­for example 1 battle point can be exchanged for a five hundred year old blood plant, ten battle points can get you a peak ranked martial art, fifty battle points can get you a half-Holy martial art," the man answered.


    Hearing this, the blood of the youths boiled.


    Peak ranked martial arts! Half-Holy martial arts!


    All of them were moved. Every one of them all had at least one peak ranked martial art, but it was limited to either speed, defense, or offense. Therefore, peak ranked martial arts were extremely precious for them.


    Although there was an incomplete Holy martial art in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, its actual use wasn¡¯t even better than a half-Holy martial art.


    Furthermore, battle points could be exchanged for weapons and resources.


    _It looks like the Guanjun Palace had decided to properly raise these geniuses. Just killing a few bandits alone can give you battle points, which can be exchanged for such precious resources_ , Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    He was really looking forward to this mission. The fact that he had his mysterious left eye gave him a better survival rate.


    ¡°The mission starts five days from now, go and get ready!¡± Third Guard finished explaining the details in depth once more, then he gave the disbanding order.


    After the discussion was over, the news spread within the Sky Guards Battalion.


    The mission wasn¡¯t limited to just the Ten Sky Guards, but the Ten Sky Guards led the squads. For the next few days, the members of the Sky Guards Battalion started to form teams in accordance to how the rewards were split.


    Some of the strongest teams included Lei Cong¡¯s and Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s, in which all the people were of the fourth rank or higher.


    Obviously, there were still people going solo such as Feng Hanyue, the number one of the Ten Sky Guards.


    Feng Hanyue was the only Martial Master, therefore his strength alone beat a team.


    Because Zhao Feng had just arrived, he formed a team with Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi, but the strength of his team was incomparable to Lei Cong¡¯s and Lu Xiayu¡¯s. However, Zhao Feng had confidence that his battle points would still be at the top.


    As the mission was just a few days away, Zhao Feng ate one of the other thousand year plants.


    **************************


    _Three days later..._


    The green ray of light in the dimension of his left eye had reached 2.3 meters.


    At this time, Zhao Feng still had one more plant, but he didn¡¯t use it because continuous use of resources meant that the effect would decrease. Also, Zhao Feng would rather save it for the critical moment when he would be trying to reach the seventh rank.


    _My cultivation is at the late stages of the sixth rank, but there¡¯s still a bit of distance to the peak_ , Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    Therefore, he became even more expectant of the mission as one¡¯s potential would be fully unleashed through life and death battles. In the blink of an eye, the five days given to prepare passed.


    Another surprising thing was that Zhao Yufei had broken through to the sixth rank two days ago with the help of Zhao Feng¡¯s resources.


    **********


    Morning...


    All the youths of the fourth rank or higher split into small teams and left the Guanjun Palace. The group of three formed up by Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi were among them.


    ¡°Brother Feng, is your real cultivation only at the peak fifth rank?¡± Zhao Yufei voiced her suspicions.


    Back in the Zhao family, she clearly knew how fast Zhao Feng progressed, but she had reached the sixth rank already. So how could Zhao Feng still be at the peak fifth rank?


    Hearing this, Huang Qi was also interested.


    ¡°You¡¯re right, this isn¡¯t my real cultivation.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hide it either and released his true aura.


    Peak sixth rank!


    Both Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi felt the pressure bearing on them. Zhao Feng¡¯s aura was extremely dense and heavy, it brought more pressure than other peak sixth ranks.


    After he briefly released his aura, Zhao Feng hid it once more, suppressing it to the beginning of the sixth rank, the same as Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi.


    Zhao Feng showed his teammates his true strength to gain their trust. Now that he hidden it away, he could do sneak attacks in the battles coming. The three left Guanjun Province City and they arrived at its borders after a few days of travel. This area was broken and wild, with many trees, rivers, streams, cliffs and a few villages around, but this place was also the only path that lead towards Maple Fire Country, so the bandits could have been sent by them.


    ¡°Once we leave this village, we¡¯ll be entering the danger area where the bandits lurk.¡± Zhao Feng opened up his map and discussed things with Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi.


    ¡°Hehe, Lady Yufei, do you have the interest in joining my team?¡± a clear arrogant laughter sounded.


    Zhao Feng and the other two turned around, and found Lu Xiaoyu, leading a team of seven other people, passing by.

 70 First Victory

    Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s voice made Zhao Feng¡¯s brow furrow, was the bastard trying to steal people from right under his eyes?


    Obviously, Zhao Feng had to admit that the strength of Ziaoyu''s team was indeed strong. There were three members of the fourth rank and the rest were all peak fifth ranks.


    Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s face was full of smiles as he eyed Zhao Yufei, there was no one who didn¡¯t know her in the Sky Guards Battalion.


    ¡°Thanks for your offer, but I already have my own team,¡± Zhao Yufei expressionlessly rejected Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s offer.


    _Rejected?_ _Didn¡¯t this girl like the strong?_


    Lu Xiaoyu was slightly surprised. He was handsome enough, and adding the fact that he was extremely talented, what girl would reject him?


    ¡°With the strength of you three, you¡¯d be hard pressed to even fend for yourselves.¡± Lu Xiaoyu glanced at Zhao Feng and Huang Qi with disdain.


    ¡°Thanks for your care, but my team has our own ways to survive, we¡¯ll speak with our battle points later,¡± Zhao Feng said calmly.


    ¡°Battle points? Hahaha¡­you think a group like yours can be compared to ours?¡± A youth of the peak sixth rank had tears of laughter in his eyes.


    He was Li Ziwen, ranked seventh within the Ten Sky Guards.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with their team and he lead Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi into the danger zone. Soon, they met a few other teams led by the Ten Sky Guards.


    Lei Cong¡¯s team was even stronger, with tens of people and two of the Ten Sky Guards. Facing such a setup, Huang Qi became a little uneasy.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, are you sure we¡¯ll be able to get some battle points?¡± Huang Qi couldn¡¯t help but ask. In terms of numbers, they had only three people, if they were unlucky and met a group of ten bandits, they¡¯d face the danger of being eliminated.


    ¡°Relax, your battle points won¡¯t be low.¡± Zhao Feng was fully confident. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can go join another team.¡±


    Looking at the confident expression on Zhao Feng¡¯s face, Huang Qi¡¯s suspicions fell a bit.


    ************************


    _Half an hour later..._


    The three entered the danger zone.


    The landscape was complex, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even look around as he passed through. Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi had to take out the map time after time to see if they were on the right track, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to as the map had already been photocopied into his mind and with the magnifier of his left eye, he could see the ''real view''.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, where are we going?¡± Huang Qi felt dizzy as he looked at the map.


    ¡°There¡¯s a stream up there, next to the canyon. Water and food is a must for these bandits...," Zhao Feng said without hesitation.


    Soon, a river appeared and not far away there was indeed a canyon. Huang Qi couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue, he had not expected that Zhao Feng¡¯s memory was so good and that he had perfectly matched the map to the real landscape.


    ¡°We¡¯ll ambush here. Huang Qi, you go hide in the river; Yufei you go hide between the rocks near the entrance of the canyon,¡± Zhao Feng soon gave them orders.


    Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t have any suspicions and she went to hide between the rocks. Huang Qi hesitated for a bit, but he still jumped into the river.


    _Ceng!_


    Zhao Feng jumped onto a tree and took his Golden Stairs Bow out, aiming it in the direction of the canyon. In reality, he had already seen suspicious people coming from the canyon with his left eye.


    ************


    _A while later..._


    From the direction of the canyon came the sound of footsteps, and a few men dressed as commoners appeared. There were a total of three people, with the leader reaching the peak fifth rank, and on his left and right were two others at the fourth and fifth rank respectively.


    The three came next to the river and began to drink.


    ¡°Attack!¡±


    Zhao Feng pulled the string and let an arrow loose. The bow trembled as a golden arrow pierced through the sky and made a perfect arc.


    _Ahhhhh!_


    The arrow lodged itself in the skinny man¡¯s shoulder and he fell down with a plop.


    ¡°Ambush!¡± the leader yelled as he surveyed his surroundings.


    _Hua!_


    At this moment, a youth appeared from the stream.


    Cloud Defying Palm!


    Huang Qi attacked from the side and collided with the leader¡¯s attack head on.


    _Pah¡ª¨C_


    Because it was unexpected, the leader received some light injuries.


    Thirteen Legs of the Willow!


    Huang Qi attacked while he had the advantage with his peak level high ranked martial art.


    ¡°Ma San, I¡¯ll come help you!¡± The last man attacked from the side.


    _Sou¡ª¨C_


    But just at this moment, another arrow pierced through the air and scraped past the fat person¡¯s clothes.


    So close! The fat man did a flip to the side and just managed to dodge the arrow.


    ¡°Watch out for the archer in the dark!¡± The skinny man moaned in pain, the first arrow had hit one of his nerve points, so he couldn¡¯t use any chi.


    ¡°You guys retreat and report the situation," the leading man spoke to the fat one as he blocked one of Huang Qi¡¯s moves.


    ¡°You be careful, Ma San!¡± The fat person immediately turned around and ran back the way he came from.


    Where did he think he was running? From the rocks came out a beautiful girl and blocked the fat man¡¯s path.


    Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi both engaged the enemies. Huang Qi¡¯s opponent had reached the peak fifth rank and he was very experienced with many hidden moves. Zhao Yufei¡¯s opponent had trained some sort of body strengthening technique, which gave him extreme strength.


    Zhao Feng stood in the trees, one hand on his bow, but he didn¡¯t attack because he had considered the fact that the other two had no experience in life and death battles.


    These two bandits were full of tricks and although their cultivation was lower, they didn¡¯t lose immediately.


    Around ten moves later-


    Spiritual Wind Slice!


    Zhao Yufei used her peak ranked martial art and managed to knock the fat man out. The enemy that Huang Qi faced was slightly harder and he was only defeated after twenty moves.


    _Teng!_


    Only at this time did Zhao Feng come out from the trees.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you attack?¡± Huang Qi was slightly irritated.


    Zhao Feng had only shot out the first two arrows, then he didn¡¯t support them at all.


    ¡°You two need to think about how you fight, you spent way too much time defeating others with lower cultivation than you,¡± Zhao Feng said calmly.


    ¡°You¡­"


    Huang Qi wanted to rebuke him, but he couldn¡¯t think of anything to say. His opponent had too many tricks up his sleeve and he would¡¯ve lost if it wasn¡¯t because he had the advantage in martial arts and cultivation.


    ¡°Brother Feng¡¯s right, we lack combat experience,¡± Zhao Yufei nodded her head in agreement.


    The three scavenged the items off the bodies of the bandits and found various items such as poisonous medicine, hidden blades etc.


    ¡°Forgive me!¡± The one that had been shot first bowed down repeatedly.


    _Puh!_


    Zhao Feng stabbed his throat with one finger.


    ¡°Take care of one each.¡± Zhao Feng glanced towards Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi.


    These two were geniuses and they were protected by their families ever since they were young, so they had virtually no experience in combat or killing.


    Huang Qi hesitated for a while, but clenched his teeth and finished off the leader. If he didn¡¯t kill the leader, he couldn¡¯t get any battle points.


    But Zhao Yufei was after all a girl, so unwillingness appeared on her face.


    ¡°Please don¡¯t kill me, beautiful Lady,¡± the fat bandit screamed sadly, which made her unable to kill him.


    Zhao Feng only laughed coldly, but he didn¡¯t say anything.


    Metal Eagle Claw!


    Light shone in the bandit''s eyes as he suddenly pounced towards Zhao Yufei with his hand heading straight towards her throat. The sudden change drained the color from Zhao Yufei¡¯s face.


    Spiritual Wind Slice!


    Her jade-like hands waved and the head of the bandit fell off.


    Both Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi felt like vomiting after their first kill, only Zhao Feng¡¯s face was the same as usual. He was slightly shocked as he remembered that he didn¡¯t have such reactions when he first killed someone. Back at the Sky Cloud Forest, Zhao Feng was extremely calm during the assassination attempt where he had killed two men. After he thought about it, Zhao Feng had to give the credit to his left eye.


    Their first battle was a victory, and both Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi learned much. For the rest of they day, the three continued to stay around the same area, but they would change positions.


    When afternoon arrived, the team of three had defeated a total of seven people, four of the fifth rank and three of the fourth rank.


    After the battles, both Huang Qi and Zhao Yufei made major improvements and the teamwork between them was much better. Zhao Feng secretly nodded his head, their mentalities finally seemed better.


    ¡°Tonight, we¡¯ll go to the interior of the canyon. According to my analysis, there a high possibility of a bandit headquarters there, which may still have some people left.¡± Zhao Feng once again gave each of them a task.


    The first task was gathering news, which Zhao Feng decided to do himself. With his powerful left eye, he wasn¡¯t only a born archer, he was also a born scout. In the time it takes to boil a pot of water, Zhao Feng had gone and come back.


    ¡°Come.¡± This was all Zhao Feng said as he led Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi to the interior of the canyon.


    On the way, Zhao Feng kept going through paths where the bandits wouldn¡¯t see them. This made Huang Qi wonder if all the bandits had already died?


    ***********************************


    _Soon..._


    Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and Huang Qi hid behind a massive rock.


    ¡°There are bandits inside the wooden room and the cave over there,¡± Zhao Feng said to the two.


    ¡°Haha, we¡¯re ambushing again? How many of them are there and how strong are they?¡±


    Huang Qi rubbed his hands together, they had ambushed so many people today that he was fully confident they would win.


    ¡°One person of the peak sixth rank, two normal sixth rank, three fifth ranks, five fourth ranks¡­a total of eleven,¡± Zhao Feng reported.


    _What? Eleven?_


    Huang Qi¡¯s eyes bulged as his cheek twitched. ¡°Are you crazy? That is a nest of bandits, run!¡±

 71 Kicking in the Hideou

    ¡°Are you crazy? That is a nest of bandits, run!¡±


    Huang Qi almost turned insane, his eyes were full of anger and he wanted to curse Zhao Feng¡¯s entire family.


    These eleven fierce and deadly bandits weren¡¯t something that they could compare to. The three sixth rankers alone would be troublesome for them, and there still were many cultivators of the fourth and fifth rank.


    ¡°Brother Feng, it¡¯s too dangerous¡­you¡¯re not joking, right?¡± Zhao Yufei was also shocked. Through the encounters they''d had with the bandits, they now understood their deadly methods.


    ¡°Run! Retreat! We can still do it now!¡± Huang Qi¡¯s heart felt like it was on fire. If they were found by the bandits, they would receive an unimaginable fate¡­


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s face was extremely pale and subconsciously gripped Feng''s hand. ¡°Why did you bring us here if you knew this place was full of bandits?¡±


    ¡°Be quiet, there¡¯s eleven bandits here, but they¡¯re not together. You just have to follow my plan and we¡¯ll destroy them all¡­" Zhao Feng¡¯s tone was very calm.


    ¡°I¡¯m not listening to you, I wanna run away¡­" Huang Qi¡¯s heart was cold with fear.


    At this moment, they could already see the figures moving around the wooden rooms through the cracks of the rocks.


    ¡°Brother Shi! The brothers that went to hunt aren¡¯t back yet,¡± a bandit of the sixth rank called.


    ¡°They¡¯re probably never going to come back then if they haven¡¯t returned in two hours¡­" Within the room came a deep voice from a middle-aged man. ¡°Be on alert! I fear that the enemy might have followed the trails to here.¡±


    The voices could easily be heard by the three hiding behind the rocks.


    ¡°Hehe, looks like there¡¯s no way back, so you have to listen to my plan,¡± Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    Huang Qi ground his teeth; he now hated Zhao Feng because he knew the latter had planned for this to happen.


    ¡°I¡¯ll listen to Brother Feng.¡± Instant trust could be seen in Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes.


    Damn it!


    Huang Qi¡¯s heart dropped as Zhao Yufei agreed. If a lady like her wasn¡¯t scared, then how could he?


    ¡°You two go over and finish off the fourth and fifth ranks fast, but don¡¯t fight against the sixth ranks, especially the middle aged peak sixth rank leader¡­¡± Zhao Feng told them the plan.


    ¡°So what are you doing when we go over?¡± Huang Qi asked suspiciously.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be behind you two¡­supporting you!¡± Zhao Feng gave a smile.


    No sh*t!


    Huang Qi almost didn¡¯t curse out loud, while Zhao Yufei and he were going to kill the enemies, this guy, the leader of the team, was going to hide behind them?


    How could he do this? No way!


    What would happen if Zhao Feng ran away because he saw that they were too hard to deal with?


    ¡°Ok, it¡¯s settled then.¡± As soon as Zeng finished his words, Huang Qi was pushed out with a _pah_.


    _Ah!_


    Huang Qi screamed and his figure was seen. At this moment, he had cursed all of Zhao Feng¡¯s ancestors.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    He had nowhere to go so he charged towards the bandits near the wooden rooms.


    "Who¡¯s there!?" The bandits nearby soon found the two.


    ¡°Come! Enemy attack¡­¡± Sounds of fighting rang out.


    Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi attacked the bandits of the fourth and fifth rank. According to Zhao Feng¡¯s plan, they had to kill them fast. If they were held up by them, the stronger ones would arrive and they would be killed for sure.


    Under this pressure, the two¡¯s battle power exceeded what they usually showed.


    _Ahh!_


    The instant the two forces clashed together, a fourth ranker and fifth ranker were slain.


    _Sou¡ª-_


    At the same time, Zhao Feng stood on top of the big rock and released an arrow.


    _Plop!_


    A peak fifth rank cultivator fell to the ground. What was shocking was that this arrow perfectly stopped the attack that Zhao Yufei was about to face from behind her.


    ¡°Brats, you dare to attack us! Don¡¯t think that any one of you will leave today!?¡±


    A bulky, muscular middle-aged man walked out of the wooden room and led the other two sixth ranks over.


    Huang Qi and Zhao Yufei instantly felt the pressure emitting from them. The middle aged man¡¯s aura was strong, on par with the top five Ten Sky Guards, or even the top three.


    _Sou Sou Sou!_


    Three arrows pierced through the air and headed straight at the three sixth ranks.


    _Dang!_


    The leader used his blade to block the arrow, but the other two sixths ranks next to him had been slightly injured.


    ¡°This Golden Stairs Bow is indeed not bad. I¡¯ve only used seventy to eighty percent of my strength and I haven¡¯t put any Inner Strength in it," Zhao Feng had a faint smile on his face.


    Every time he released an arrow, a bandit would fall. At the same time, both Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi became engaged in a tough battle, but Zhao Feng supported them from behind, so they didn¡¯t reach a desperate state.


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave the boy and girl to you, I¡¯ll go get the archer¡­¡± The middle-aged bandit leader immediately saw that Zhao Feng was the most threatening one.


    Zhao Feng steadily pulled out three arrows and shot them at the three sixth ranks again.


    _Dang! Dang! Dang!_


    The three sixth ranks once again blocked Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks, but it gave Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi time to take a breath.


    When the middle-aged man reached Zhao Feng, there were only four to five bandits left. Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi were both in an extremely dangerous situation.


    Water Wave Slash!


    The leading bandit¡¯s sword seemed like the sea as wave after wave of power surged through it. His sword level had almost reached perfection, and the skill was almost at the peak rank too.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his Golden Hair Bow with the addition of strength from his Metal Wall Technique.


    _Dang~_


    The force sent the middle-aged bandit back a few steps. The casual swipe of the Golden Stairs Bow not only contained power from Metal Wall Technique, it also had an unspeakable aura as if it had become one with its surroundings.


    ¡°Hehe,¡± Zhao Feng gently smiled, then he jumped into the air and pulled the string of his bow.


    _Sou!_


    An arrow went straight into the chest of a bandit near the wooden houses. At the same time, the arrow managed to resolve the desperate situation Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi were in. Although Zhao Feng killed one, Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi still faced four bandits, including two of the sixth rank.


    ¡°Hm, it¡¯s about right.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t think of helping the two any further and the middle-aged leader wouldn¡¯t let him do so anyways.


    ¡°Star Finger!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed as he put the bow away and engaged the bandit leader in close combat.


    The opponent¡¯s strength had reached the peak sixth rank and he had a seemingly unlimited number of hidden moves. Normal sixth ranks might not even be able to block one move of his.


    Zhao Feng found that when he used Star Finger to the peak third level, he still couldn¡¯t gain the upper hand, but his advantage was obvious. The fifth level of the Metal Wall Technique had a small rebound which fended off the furious attacks of the enemy.


    But the bandit didn¡¯t run! With his battle experience, he knew that if he ran, he was just inviting death. Zhao Feng was a godly archer and to run away from one was retarded. Also, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was faster than his.


    The man decided to engage in close combat and put some hope in his comrades to finish the two brats off and support him here.


    Both Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi had a hard time as they faced two sixth ranks, one fourth rank, and one fifth rank, but they were geniuses after all. Under the pressure, they became more accustomed to the fighting and steadily regained their composure.


    _Ahh!_


    Soon, the cultivator of the fourth rank was slain by Zhao Yufei, which let them have a slight break as they only had to face one fifth rank and two sixth ranks now. But their expressions turned serious once more as they looked in the direction of Zhao Feng.


    If it were either of them, they probably couldn¡¯t even exchange twenty moves.


    One Line Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s move this time reached the edge of the fourth level.


    _Shua~_


    A deep gash was left on the middle aged bandit, but that simple drove him into a frenzy, which propelled him to attack more powerfully without consideration for his own injuries.


    The leader was putting his life on the line and he even headed down the path of perishing together with his enemy.


    The determination he had would make most opponents wary, but Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t normal; he still remained calm as he opened his left eye.


    Ten moves later, the injuries on the middle aged bandit became heavier and an error was finally found by Zhao Feng.


    _Plop!_


    The bandit fell to the ground and before he could rise, a finger pierced through his heart.


    ¡°These bastards still have some skills,¡± Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi''s fight also came to an end. They knew that Zhao Feng would most likely not help, so they used their killing moves and finally slew the last three bandits.


    _Sou!_


    Zhao Feng slew the one bandit trying to run away with his bow.


    _Hu~_


    Huang Qi and Zhao Yufei fell to the ground exhausted, but joy and happiness could be seen in their eyes.


    The nest of eleven bandits had been cleared! The almost impossible mission had been finished.


    The two looked at Zhao Feng with awed admiration, because they knew this was Zhao Feng¡¯s plan and he had played an important role in supporting them.


    At the same time, behind a rock a few hundred yards away, a silver figure hiding there took in a cold breath. ¡°These three brats took down a whole nest! Six of the eleven bandits, including that peak sixth rank bandit who was killed by the youth named Zhao Feng¡­¡±

 72 Bandit Leader

    After the intense fight, the three remained at the same spot to rest. Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi had both received some injuries, only Zhao Feng remained unharmed, which made the other two realiZe the gap between them.


    What shocked them more was that Zhao Feng had only used the power of the early stages of the sixth rank to kill the leading bandit, and not the peak of the sixth rank. It could be seen that Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was at the quasi-Martial Master rank at least!


    The three cleared the battlefield and then divided the battle points. Although Zhao Feng had killed the leader, it wasn¡¯t the main leader, so he was only worth five battle points. There was a total of six who were killed by Zhao Feng, including two fourth ranks, two fifth ranks, and two sixth ranks.


    Adding them onto the previous ones, Zhao Feng¡¯s battle points had reached over twenty. And according to the the rules, ten points could be exchanged for a peak ranked martial art.


    _Half an hour later..._


    ¡°We should leave now, it¡¯s not good to stay here for so long," Zhao Feng ordered as he was the team captain.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Huang Qi and Zhao Yufei both agreed immediately, trusting Zhao Feng completely.


    _Teng! Ceng! Ceng!_


    The three increased their speed and soon left the canyon.


    *************


    _Two hours later after the three left..._


    Three black figures flew across the dark sky and landed in front of the wooden shack.


    ¡°Leader, eleven men, including Shi Badao, have died, with half of them succumbing to an archer.¡± The voice of one of the black shadows was cold and expressionless.


    ¡°Who dares touch my Desolate Destruction Bandits!?¡± One of the figures slowly lifted his palm and a powerful air wave ripped through everything in a radius of several meters.


    The two black figures felt the pressure, although they weren¡¯t any weaker than the middle-aged man who had just died.


    _Hong!_


    The bulky figure waved his hand and the houses in front collapsed. At that moment, the aura from the bulky figure was on par with high tier deadly beasts.


    ¡°Lord Desolate!¡± The other two quasi-Martial Masters hearts jumped.


    ¡°Find the killer, I¡¯ll dish back to them what they did to my men ten times over!¡± the angry, cold voice sounded back in the wind.


    **************************


    _At the same time..._


    Mysterious youths, who were split into teams, took the lives of bandits. Everyone from the Sky Guards Battalion had extreme potential. Under this environment, they grew stronger quickly, but there were casualties as well.


    Apart from those in the Ten Sky Guards, seven or eight silver figures merged into the night to calculate the total battle points.


    **************************


    At night, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyesight was still perfect, but considering the fact that both Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi were tired, he decided not to attack. The three found a pretty secure place where they decided to rest with no bandits around.


    _The second day..._


    The team of three once again started looking for bandits.


    ¡°Eh? What¡¯s going here? Why are there less and less bandits around?¡± Zhao Feng soon found a problem.


    They had scouted around for a long time and instead of meeting bandits, they met other teams.


    Huang Qi said thoughtfully, ¡°It must be because the Sky Guards Battalion killed too many bandits last night, and the others have hidden themselves.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and found this thought very logical. If those bandits hid in the mountains, it would be hard to find them even with his left eye.


    ¡°We have to go in deeper.¡± Zhao Feng still led the way.


    At times, he would jump onto trees and survey their surroundings.


    Suddenly, tens of miles away, a rainbow colored smoke appeared which attracted his attention.


    ¡°It¡¯s the emergency signal from another team!¡± Zhao Yufei exclaimed.


    Go to the rescue!


    Zhao Feng was the first one to sprint off in that direction, but his expression changed as he opened his left eye. The group that was in danger was Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s. The eight youths of the Sky Guards Battalion were surrounded by a group of fifteen bandits.


    There were two black-clothed bandits that had reached the quasi-Martial Master rank and three third ranks, while the rest were at the fourth and fifth rank.


    At this moment, both sides were battling each other, but the youths couldn¡¯t charge out. Luckily, a group of four that were nearby raced over, giving them a bit of hope.


    _Sou¡ª Sou¡ª Sou¡ª_


    But right at this moment, three or four bandit archers hiding in the forest shot their arrows.


    Ahh!


    A few of the Sky Guards Battalion members were injured.


    Cloud Swaying Fist!


    Lu Xiaoyu forced the bandits back with his peak ranked martial art, which had been trained to the peak level. But he couldn¡¯t kill them, as one of the quasi-Martial Masters was keeping him busy.


    ¡°Boss! There¡¯s three more brats coming," an archer in hiding in the woods told the two black-clothed figures.


    The three that came were Zhao Feng¡¯s team.


    Through his left eye, Zhao Feng analyzed the straightest path and gradually closed in. When he was within one hundred yards, Zhao Feng suddenly stopped and took out his bow.


    _Sou¡ª¨C Sou¡ª Sou¡ª_


    Zhao Feng continuously pulled his bow and perfectly shot the archers hiding in the woods, giving Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s team time to get in a few breaths.


    Kill!


    The bandits and the youths engaged in battle. With Zhao Feng and the other team joining in, the Sky Guards Battalion side gradually had the advantage. The youths became braver and braver as time went on.


    ¡°A bunch of brats! All of you stay!¡± a deep cold voice resounded from the forest.


    _Shua!_ __


    A great pressure came from the other side of the forest, which made the heart of the youths jump. The owner of the voice was an one-eyed man wearing a black cloak.


    ¡°Not good, it¡¯s a Martial Master!¡± Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s face turned pale as his heart twitched.


    The person coming was the boss of bandits.


    ¡°Brats! Die¡­" the one-eyed man flew over and his aura made the youths unable to breathe.


    Breaking Wind Palm!


    With a sound as loud as thunder, the palm headed straight towards Lu Xiaoyu.


    ¡°Everyone, block it!¡± Lu Xiaoyu exclaimed, and he combined forces with Li Ziwen to block the attack.


    _Peng¡ª-_


    The explosion caused a wave of air that pushed through everything in its path, including Li Ziwen and Lu Xiaoyu, who were sent seven to eight meters back.


    _Wah!_


    The two who had taken the hit head on, Lu Xiaoyu and Li Ziwen, both spat out a mouthful of blood. These two were ranked fifth and seventh in the Ten Sky Guards, and their strength was around quasi-Martial Master. But even the two of them, with the help of many other sixth ranks, weren¡¯t able to block this one move.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, Lu Chen! Come and help!¡± Lu Xiaoyu shouted and asked for help from Zhao Feng and the leader of the other group.


    The teams were all led by at least one of the Ten Sky Guards and at this time, including Zhao Feng and Lu Chen, there were five of the ten Sky Guards Present.


    _Beng¡ª-_


    Zhao Feng pulled the string of his bow from far away and he put his Inner Strength into it, the power of this arrow could harm the lives of quasi-Martial Masters.


    Illusion Wind Blade!


    The other leader used his perfect high ranked martial art and attacked from the back.


    Cloud Shattering Fist!


    Lu Xiaoyu immediately used a fist skill, while Li Ziwen next to him used a sword.


    The attack of the five great geniuses reached the one-eyed man.


    ¡°Where did these geniuses come from?¡± the one-eyed man exclaimed and at the same time, he circulated his frenzied Inner Strength.


    _Blang!_


    Zhao Feng''s arrow snapped into pieces.


    _Dong¨C Dong¡ª Dong¡ª_


    All the attacks were blocked and once again, the Sky Guards were sent flying.


    ¡°What strength!¡± Zhao Feng was pretty shocked.


    A Martial Master could release his Inner Strength and create long range attacks. If any one of them was to face him alone, they might lose their lives in two moves.


    At this time both Lu Xiaoyu and Li Ziwen had received light injuries. The Inner Strength from Martial Masters of the seventh rank could strike like lightning and instantly turn those of the fourth and fifth rank into dust.


    Only Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to fight close combat as he pulled his bow repeatedly and every arrow would fly towards the smallest flaws of the one-eyed man. The full power of Zhao Feng shooting his arrows threatened the movements of the one-eyed bandit.


    ¡°Bastard! It looks like the one that killed my men in the canyon was you¡­" the one-eyed man suddenly turned around with killing intent in his eyes.


    ¡°So what if it was me?¡± Zhao Feng laughed coldly.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The bandit didn¡¯t bother with the attacks from the other youths and headed straight at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng jumped up in fright and he immediately circulated Lightly Floating Ferry to escape.


    ¡°Don¡¯t run!¡± The one-eyed man came closer and closer because he was a Martial Master and therefore, he was faster then Feng.


    ¡°Shattering Mountain Palm¡­¡±


    The palm of the Martial Master shot through the air and headed towards Zhao Feng. If it was another cultivator of the same rank, just the Inner Strength alone could kill him, but Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t normal.


    Mysterious Wind Palm!


    Zhao Feng turned in midair and in his mind, the image of the palm from that girl appeared. He then took a deep breath as an azure glow formed on his palm, and then the two attacks collided heavily.

 73 Slaying a Martial Master of the 7th Rank

    _Boom~_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was washed away in the wind, but using the power of the attack, he flew out of the range of the next attack of the one-eyed man.


    ¡°This palm¡­,¡± the one-eyed man stiffened for a second because he felt his force had been sliced up and destroyed.


    The Mysterious Wind Palm Zhao Feng had learned exceeded the peak rank. Zhao Feng had only learned a bit of it, but after training the four incomplete Holy martial arts, he found that it was easier to comprehend. In terms of power alone, Mysterious Wind Palm wasn¡¯t stronger than Star Finger, but it suppressed the other skills in terms of profoundness, and adding on the fact that he had reached the fifth level of Metal Wall Technique, he was able to retreat safely.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s performance earned cheers from the other geniuses. To be able to take a hit from a Martial Master and retreat unharmed was a great feat.


    ¡°You can¡¯t run away boy, I only used sixty percent of my strength just then,¡± the voice from the one-eyed bandit echoed from behind him.


    But Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t fighting alone, there were others from the Ten Sky Guards helping, and soon, the gap between the two grew enough to allow Zhao Feng to once again pull back his bow.


    _Sou! Sou! Sou!_


    This time, Zhao Feng used his Archery¡¯s God¡¯s Left Eye skill, which made the arrows arc perfectly towards the bandit leader.


    _What!_ The one-eyed bandit found that the arrows swayed with wind and broke through the weakest part of his defenses.


    _Shua!_ One of the arrows left a deep gash on his shoulder. This scene improved the morale of the Sky Guards Battalion.


    ¡°That guy¡¯s an archer!¡± Lu Xiaoyu and co. stopped for a second, then they resumed their attacks.


    _Ceng! Ceng! Ceng¡­_


    At this time, another Battalion team appeared, and it was even stronger than Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s team.


    ¡°It¡¯s Lei Cong¡¯s team!¡±


    Although they were pretty far away, the bald silver figure could still be seen. Lei Cong was ranked second in the Ten Sky Guards, and he had almost reached the seventh rank.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± the bandit leader gave the order immediately.


    His side was already struggling, and with the addition of another even stronger team, they had no chance at all.


    ¡°Brat! I¡¯ll take your life any time,¡± the one-eyed man glared coldly at Zhao Feng before leaving.


    ¡°Any time you wish!¡± Zhao Feng replied and a cold azure light appeared on his left eye as he stared right back at the bandit.


    _What¡¯s going on!?_


    The bandit trembled and felt like his heart had been stabbed by a sword, but as he was on the verge on retreating, he didn¡¯t think about it much.


    ¡°What was that?¡± Zhao Feng felt pain pulse through his left eye and found that he had lost a lot of mental energy.


    He didn¡¯t know what kind of skill he had used just then, all he felt was that his mental energy had been consumed quickly, but he had also seen the dazed look and fear in the bandit¡¯s eye.


    Zhao Feng slowly closed his eyes and found that the green ray of light in his eye had extended to 2.3 meters, infinitely closer to 2.33 meters.


    ¡°Good!¡± he said joyously. Because he had fought with the one-eyed leader just now, his cultivation had increased to peak sixth rank. Now, his real cultivation was the same as Lei Cong, ranked second of the Ten Sky Guards.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­you can¡¯t leave and go as you please!¡±


    From the bushes a kilometer away, a beautiful silver haired youth appeared. The youth looked like a girl and he had a terrifying aura as he stood on top of a tree.


    ¡°Feng Hanyue!¡± The youths of the Sky Guards Battalion exclaimed.


    He was a youth fifteen or sixteen years old. He was a Martial Master of the seventh rank.


    Seventh rank¡­


    The one-eyed bandit looked shocked and sad at the same time. He was twenty-eight years old when he reached the seventh rank and at that time, he was extremely proud of himself. But seeing Feng Hanyue, all his confidence and arrogance were popped like bursting bubbles.


    His achievements were nothing compared to the youth in front of him.


    What kind of backgrounds did these kids have?


    The one-eyed man sensed that something was wrong. If there were one or two geniuses appearing, it might have been a coincidence. But if they all appeared at the same time, even retards would know something was wrong.


    ¡°Illusion Sky Stance!¡±


    A silver glow came from Feng Hanyue¡¯s body and in an instant, he appeared in front of the bandit. The speed made the heart of the boss of bandits shake because this skill was a true Holy martial art, although it wasn¡¯t fully learned yet.


    Shattering Mountain Palm!


    He didn¡¯t hold any of his power back this time, and clashed head on with Feng Hanyue.


    _Boom!_


    The two figures hmphed as they split apart.


    ¡°Don¡¯t think you can leave!¡± Feng Hanyue immediately used an incomplete Holy martial art and chased after the bandit. The two figures, one running away, one chasing, disappeared into the forest.


    Only Lei Cong and Zhao Feng were able to keep up with the two.


    ¡°If I can kill this bandit, I can get twenty battle points,¡± Zhao Feng circulated Lightly Floating Ferry to the limit and unleashed his peak sixth rank cultivation at the same time¡­


    Soon, the figures vanished into the vast forest, leaving behind a bunch of tired youths.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng doesn¡¯t seem to be weaker than Lei Cong,¡± a few youths discussed.


    Lu Xiaoyu and Li Ziwen exchanged glances and saw the shock in each others¡¯ eyes. Before they left they had laughed at Zhao Feng¡¯s team, but they hadn¡¯t thought that he would be so strong.


    **********************


    _On the other side..._


    Zhao Feng and Lei Cong tried to surround the bandit from either side while he was tangled with Feng Hanyue. Feng Hanyue had gained some insights into an incomplete Holy martial art and it was a speed one at that, so the bandit knew he couldn¡¯t escape.


    ¡°Don¡¯t force me!¡± the one-eyed leader howled, and used an unknown secret skill which increased his attributes.


    Breaking Mountain Unlimited!


    The leader exploded with might, and unleashed the most powerful attack that he had as he clashed heavily with Feng Hanyue.


    _Deng!_


    Feng Hanyue¡¯s body trembled and fell down onto the ground tens of meters away with blood leaking from his mouth.


    _Die!_


    The bandit held the blood in his mouth down and attacked Feng Hanyue.


    ¡°Not good!¡± the silver figure hiding in the forest exclaimed.


    Shooosh!


    Suddenly, a faint azure arrow pierced through the bandit''s shield of Inner Strength and lodged into his leg.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡± the one-eyed bandit screamed and almost fell down from the sky.


    The arrow had hit a nerve meridian point on his leg, and if it wasn¡¯t for his dense Inner Strength, this arrow could have paralyzed his entire lower body.


    ¡°F*cking b*stard!¡± The bandit turned in the air and decided to run away.


    The arrow Zhao Feng just shot contained his Archery God¡¯s Left Eye skill, and not only resolved the situation Feng Hanyue was in, it also forced the one-eyed bandit leader to run away.


    ¡°You be careful!¡± Feng Hanyue glanced at Zhao Feng and Lei Cong, then sat down and started to recover.


    *****************


    _Soon..._


    There was only Zhao Feng and Lei Cong facing the bandit, but one-eye''s speed was just too high. Although this was the case, Zhao Feng could clearly see that the enemy was on the verge of defeat, his left eye observed the situation inside the bandit¡¯s body. His veins and organs were damaged from the use of his secret technique.


    ¡°F*ck, these brats are just too persistent!¡± The one-eyed bandit clenched his teeth.


    Although his speed was high and he knew the surroundings well, he couldn¡¯t shake Zhao Feng off. On the contrary, Zhao Feng was inching closer and closer.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­¡± A dangerous light flashed in the one-eyed man¡¯s eyes as he took a deep breath and ate a pill while sitting down.


    Ten breaths later, Zhao Feng appeared three hundred meters out.


    _Sou! Sou!_


    Zhao Feng pulled his Golden Stairs Bow and used his Archery God¡¯s Left Eye skill. His Archery God¡¯s Left Eye skill could threaten Martial Masters of the seventh rank while he was only at the sixth.


    ¡°Die, brat¡­¡±


    The bandit forcefully suppressed his injuries as he slapped the arrows away and pounced after Zhao Feng.


    _Sou Sou Sou Sou¡ª¨C_


    Zhao Feng continuously pulled his bow and shot three arrows which seemed like lightning strikes. Furthermore, the three arrows all traveled in different paths and headed towards different locations at different times.


    _Die!_


    The bandit snapped the first arrow, dodged the second, and he was now very close to Zhao Feng now.


    _Shu!_


    The last arrow scraped past his shoulder, it only stopped him momentarily. A victory smile appeared on the bandit¡¯s face.


    As long as he got close to Zhao Feng, he had complete confidence that he could take him down in a short amount of time.


    One Line Star Finger!


    The youth in his sight pressed forward instead of retreating and suddenly, he gave off a thick and powerful aura. At that moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s peak sixth rank aura was fully unleashed.


    _Shua!_


    The green line was like a string as it streaked across the night like a meteor. This had surpassed the limits of sixth rankers as Star Finger had reached the late stages of the fourth level.


    Flowing Wind Stance!


    Zhao Feng merged his skill into the wind, which made the skill even faster. Just as the bandit smiled, his eye saw this and contracted.


    _Shooo¡­_


    An azure light hit the one-eyed bandit¡¯s forehead.


    _Ploom!_


    The body of the bandit stiffened as blood appeared at the center of his forehead. His eyes were still full of shock and terror, but the light in his eye started to dim¡­

 74 Battle Points

    _Plop!_


    The one-eyed bandit fell, his breathing stopping before he hit the ground. At the same time, Zhao Feng landed on the ground as well.


    _Hu!_ __


    He gently let out a breath and a faint azure light disappeared from his left eye. When he slew the one-eyed man, his left eye had been activated to its fullest potential and the Flowing Wind Stance had merged into his finger, which made its strength comparable to Martial Masters.


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s strongest attack ever!


    The boss of bandits would never have thought that Zhao Feng¡¯s Star Finger would reach the fourth level and that it could attack through the air. The abilities of Feng''s left eye had also caught the flaws of the enemy and under this advantage, he had stabbed into the forehead of his opponent.


    After killing him, Zhao Feng scavenged his items. No wonder the bandit was a Martial Master of the seventh rank, just the silver he had numbered over two hundred coins, plus he had two high ranked martial arts and one peak ranked martial art book on him.


    Apart from that, Zhao Feng also found a bottle of precious Recovery Healing Pills¡± which did what its name suggested.


    _Hmmm?_


    Zhao Feng spotted a letter in the items of the bandit. Opening it, the contents inside seemed to prove that he had a trade deal going on with a noble from the Maple Fire Country.


    ¡°En, the battle points I gain from this should exceed twenty, because there¡¯s evidence of him having connections with the Maple Fire Country.¡± Zhao Feng was very pleased as he moved the corpse to the side.


    _Sou!_ __


    At this time, a bald silver clothed youth came from the other side.


    ¡°Put it down!¡± Lei Cong ordered, trying to stop Zhao Feng¡¯s movement.


    ¡°What does Brother Lei have to say?¡± Zhao Feng said calmly.


    ¡°The bandit was severely injured before, so the battle points and items should be split amongst us.¡± Lei Cong¡¯s face was cold and strict.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng felt rage burn in his heart. This guy was trying to take battle points off him!


    ¡°When I fought the bandit, he still had seventy to eighty percent of his strength left, and he was unleashing his last attacks, which made him even more dangerous,¡± Zhao Feng said strongly as he stood in front of the corpse.


    He had taken a massive risk when he had fought the leader, so how could he give the battle points away?


    ¡°Hahaha¡­brat named Zhao, there¡¯s no evidence of fighting here and the one-eyed bandit was killed with one finger, do you think you could have done that? Furthermore, there¡¯s no injuries on you, so how could you easily block the last attacks of a Martial Master?¡± Lei Cong coldly said as lights twinkled in his eyes.


    Indeed, there were just too many suspicious points if Zhao Feng had really killed the leader.


    First, the bandit had been killed with one finger without much resistance. Second, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any injuries, and there were no marks of fighting.


    The last key point was that when Zhao Feng slew the bandit leader, there was no other youths present, including Lei Cong himself.


    _Sou! Sou! Sou¡­_


    Slowly, youths began to gather and when they saw the standoff between Zhao Feng and Lei Cong, they were extremely curious. After they asked the reason, the youths began to laugh.


    ¡°Kid! Stop trying to steal our battle points, my team, Lei Cong¡¯s team, should get at least half.¡± Lei Cong¡¯s team was extremely aggressive.


    Soon, Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Chen¡¯s team also arrived.


    ¡°Brother Feng!¡± Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi came to Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right side, but their strength still seemed weak compared to Lei Cong¡¯s team.


    ¡°Kiddo, I¡¯ll give you one more chance. Give me the body of the bandit, the evidence, and the spoils, and we¡¯ll give you some of the battle points,¡± Lei Cong said forcefully.


    ¡°Nope,¡± Zhao Feng snickered coldly, his attitude was strong as well.


    ¡°Seems like you¡¯ll refuse the toast of victory and drink the wine of defeat!¡± Cold light flashed in Lei Cong¡¯s eyes as he slowly raised his hand, about to attack.


    The youths present felt like they couldn¡¯t breathe. Lu Xiaoyu was on the side gloating, and Huang Qi had cold sweat coming off his forehead. Lei Cong¡¯s strength was second in the Ten Sky Guards, and he had two of the ten in his team. Even if Zhao Feng was able to fight against Lei Cong, how were Huang Qi and Zhao Yufei supposed to face the other ten?


    _Teng!_ __


    At this moment, a beautiful figure arrived, while sending out an irresistible aura.


    Feng Hanyue!


    Many of the youths present respectfully greeted him, including Lei Cong. After the battle, Feng Hanyue¡¯s face was pale and it was obvious that his injury hadn¡¯t fully recovered yet.


    After knowing the situation, Feng Hanyue spoke, ¡°The one-eyed bandit did have at least eighty percent of his strength left before he died.¡±


    _Hua!_ __


    Exclamations came from the crowd as they looked disbelievingly towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Obviously, if I wasn¡¯t there, you still wouldn¡¯t have been able to kill him even if all of you went up at the same time¡­therefore, I get at least half of the battle points!¡± Feng Hanyue¡¯s words suddenly twisted.


    At least one half!


    Both Zhao Feng and Lei Cong¡¯s heart clenched. Feng Hanyue did indeed put in a lot of effort into injuring the one-eyed bandit, Lei Cong and Zhao Feng both had nothing to say.


    ¡°Then what about the other half?¡± Lei Cong asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s not my problem, furthermore there¡¯s the Guanjun Corps scouting and calculating,¡± Feng Hanyue spoke in an overbearing manner.


    Hearing this, the crowd nodded their heads, they knew that someone was calculating the battle points.


    _Shua!_ __


    At this time, a figure came from the trees not far away, his speed was twice as fast as the bandit leader!


    Guanjun Corpsman!


    The youths felt their heart tighten. This Guanjun Corpsman had reached the eighth rank, and he sent out a dominant aura, which even made Feng Hanyue look at him in awe and respect.


    The Guanjun Corpsmen were the personal guards of Lord Guanjun, and each of them had strength surpassing normal Martial Masters. Even Feng Hanyue never found where the Guanjun Corp were hiding.


    ¡°The twenty battle points for slaying the bandit and the ten points for gathering evidence, all for a total of thirty battle points¡­all goes to Zhao Feng,¡± the Guanjun Corp announced coldly.


    What!?


    The youths that heard this, their mouths dropped wide open.


    How was that possible?


    Lei Cong, Feng Hanyue, Lu Xiaoyu were all shocked and they didn¡¯t know what to say.


    This Guanjun Corpsman was way too biased towards Zhao Feng!


    ¡°The bandit leader was killed by Zhao Feng alone, and no one helped in the 100 breaths that they were fighting in. The evidence that he had connections with the enemy country was also collected by Zhao Feng alone, therefore all of the thirty points go to him,¡± the Guanjun Corpsman explained.


    When he finished, everyone understood. The rules were like this, although Feng Hanyue and the other youths played a huge role in injuring the leader, the one that killed him was Zhao Feng alone.


    The Guanjun Corp glanced toward Zhao Feng and said, ¡°Not bad!¡± before he left, leaving behind a bunch of unwilling youths who didn¡¯t dare to question him. However, some of them also looked towards Zhao Feng warily. The Guanjun Corpsman must have seen the entire scene when Zhao Feng slew the head bandit and therefore gave all the battle points to him.


    One had to know that ten battle points was worth a peak ranked martial art, fifty points could be exchanged for a half-Holy Martial art.


    The youths looked at Zhao Feng with envy and jealously as Zhao Feng received thirty extra points. In their midst, both Feng Hanyue and Lei Cong¡¯s faces were glum.


    Zhao Feng felt the coldness emitting from Feng Hanyue and the warning in Lei Cong¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Brother Hanyue, I heard that the person with the most battle points gets an extra reward, we can¡¯t give up so easily can we?¡± Lei Cong said softly to Feng Hanyue.


    Right now, Zhao Feng obviously had the lead, shaking off Feng Hanyue and Lei Cong.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let him be happy for a while.¡± Feng Hanyue¡¯s face turned calm once more.


    After this incident, Zhao Feng¡¯s name spread throughout the Sky Guards Battalion, some youths thought that he was just lucky, while other''s eyes twinkled.


    The mission hadn¡¯t finished yet, and according to the information taken from the bandits, the group they had just defeated were named the Desolate Destruction Bandits. In the area, there were another few groups of bandits, with the Deadly Wolves Bandits being the strongest as they also had Martial Masters in their group.


    **********************


    _Three days later..._


    The teams from the Sky Guards Battalion had killed almost all of the bandits nearby. As they engaged in battle, the strength of the youths increased by leaps and bounds.


    *****************


    _On a certain day..._


    A few of the smaller teams gathered together and attacked the hideout of the Deadly Wolves Bandits. The one who was in charge of information gathering was Zhao Feng.


    Within the depths of a cave...


    ¡°How could those b*stards find our hiding place?¡± the leader of the Deadly Wolves Bandits stood up.


    One had to know that the hiding point of the Deadly Wolves Bandits was insanely secure. Even if one knew the area where it was located, the path was extremely dangerous and complicated and hard to follow.


    The bandits in the hideout were thrown into chaos, as they knew the Desolate Destruction Bandits had been massacred by those mysterious youths.


    ¡°Kill!¡± The groups of Sky Guards Battalion attacked.


    ¡°Tell all our brothers to retreat!¡± The Deadly Wolves Leader thought about the mysterious background that the youths had and he instantly made his decision.


    Soon, the group of twenty-some men escaped through the back.


    ¡°Kill¡­"


    From the back hill came the sudden sounds of battle.


    _Sou! Sou! Sou¡­_


    A flight of arrows came from the forest nearby. One of the youths held a golden bow and he had instantly shot six to seven arrows, which had taken the lives of every target hit.


    ¡°How did these f*ckers know we had this escape route?¡± The Deadly Wolves Leader took in a cold breath.


    His eyes scanned the surroundings and he felt his heart turn cold when they settled on a youth holding a golden bow.

 75 Hooded Figure

    The youth holding the bow was Zhao Feng!


    Two days ago, he had used Lightly Floating Ferry and his enhanced vision to locate the hideout. He had even memorized all the routes nearby, and it was under his guidance that the Sky Guards Battalion attacked the hideout.


    At this moment, the Deadly Wolves Leader had a feeling that the whole situation had been created by this person.


    ¡°Die¡­ ¡±


    The Deadly Wolves Leader pounced towards Zhao Feng.


    _Shua!_


    The speed of the leader was incredible, under the daylight only a faint green figure could be seen. In terms of speed alone, he surpassed the one-eyed bandit.


    _Sou¨C Sou¡ª Sou¡ª Sou¡ª_ __


    Zhao Feng remained calm and used his Archer God¡¯s Left Eye skill. Instantly, four arrows pierced through the air and they had a special pattern to them, one was higher while the other was lower, one was in front while the other was behind. They blocked the path of the Deadly Wolves Leader.


    Open!


    The leader was forced to activate his Inner Strength and form a shield to protect himself.


    _Toooock!_ __


    However, two arrows still broke through the barrier and one lodged itself in his foot. The Deadly Wolves Leader couldn¡¯t believe that there was such a dangerous archer in this world.


    ¡°Leave this person to me!¡± a beautiful youth came from the other side, it was Feng Hanyue.


    ¡°Everyone retreat¡­ ¡± The Deadly Wolves Leader didn¡¯t dare to stay, so he circulated his speed skill and headed towards the depths of the forest.


    _Sou¡­ Sou¡­ Sou¡­_


    A few arrows came through the air again and blocked the path of the Deadly Wolves Leader, forcing him to stop.


    ¡°Stop him!¡±


    Lei Cong and Lu Xiaoyu came from the other side and under the combined effort of the four, they easily gained the upper hand.


    In the mix, Feng Hanyue was the main close combatant, while Lei Cong and Lu Xiaoyu supported him from the side. Zhao Feng was the long range controller and he used his Archer God¡¯s Left Eye skill to restrict the movement of the leader. The Deadly Wolves Leader spat out blood from anger; in his eyes, Zhao Feng was the most threatening one.


    _Toooock!_ __


    Injuries appeared on his body, all due to Zhao Feng¡¯s arrows.


    At a certain point, Zhao Feng put the bow away and attacked the Deadly Wolves Leader.


    ¡°Good!¡± The Deadly Wolves Leader laughed. He wanted to get rid of this archer first, but the opponent had skilled footwork and would always stop him from entering close range.


    Now, the youth had headed towards him for close combat.


    ¡°Mysterious Wind Palm!¡±


    A faint azure glow appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s palm as it collided heavily with the Deadly Wolves Leaders¡¯ attack.


    _Boom!_ __


    The air wave engulfed everything in a few meters radius and using the energy, Zhao Feng retreated tens of meters back and took his bow again out.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on!?¡±


    The Deadly Wolves Leader felt the weird palm dissolve his attack and chain him up for a second. And in that gap, the attacks of Feng Hanyue and the others had landed on him.


    _Wah!_ __


    The Deadly Wolves Leader instantly spat out mouthfuls of blood as he cursed Zhao Feng, but he found that Zhao Feng had retreated out of range.


    _Sou¨C Sou¨C Sou¨C Sou¨C_


    Zhao Feng constantly fired a few arrows just as the Deadly Wolves Leader was injured.


    The Deadly Wolves Leader couldn¡¯t dodge at all and he could only watch the three arrows lodge themselves into his vitals. One arrow even stabbed half an inch into his heart.


    ¡°Exploding Cloud Destruction!¡±


    The bandit roared and exploded his Inner Strength, which pushed Feng Hanyue and the other two away. Then, he headed towards the direction of the Sky Cloud Forest.


    ¡°Follow!¡±


    Feng Hanyue and the others obviously didn¡¯t give up, the bandit was severely injured and this was a good chance to gain battle points.


    ¡°I must kill this person to exceed Zhao Feng in battle points.¡± All three had the same idea.


    Up to now, Zhao Feng had the lead and the only chance to beat him was to kill the Deadly Wolves Leader. In terms of speed, Feng Hanyue was the fastest, while Zhao Feng was second.


    ¡°What kind of guy is he? He¡¯s a monster.¡±


    Lei Cong and Lu Xiaoyu looked at each other and saw the shock in each others eyes. The aura that Zhao Feng was releasing had now reached the peak sixth rank as well. Soon, the four geniuses had entered the limitless Sky Cloud Forest.


    The bandit area was located near the Sky Cloud Forest, so the four weren¡¯t surprised that the Deadly Wolves Leader would escape in this direction. Being born near here and having been here several times, Zhao Feng understood the landscape well.


    Soon, Zhao Feng was the one leading as his left eye had locked onto the figure.


    Half an hour later, the area ahead suddenly turned dark.


    _Hmm?_ __


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye saw a scene tens of kilometers away.


    ¡°Help me, Lord.¡± The blood-soaked Deadly Wolves Leader flew onto a tree.


    ¡°What? You¡¯re useless! You¡¯ve even given my location away!¡±


    On the tree, there was a hooded figure whose voice was hoarse sitting on it. Under the hood, there were a pair of blue eyes that gave off a frightening aura.


    _Plop!_ __


    The Deadly Wolves Leader couldn¡¯t withstand the pressure and he knelt on the ground.


    ¡°Forgive me, Lord.¡± He had no resistance against the hooded figure even with his seventh rank cultivation.


    ¡°You¡¯ve lost your value.¡± Under the hood, a grey light headed towards the Deadly Wolves Leader.


    ¡°Not good¡­¡± The Deadly Wolves Leader immediately poured out his Inner Strength.


    _Plaaa!_ __


    His chi instantly vanished as it came into contact with the grey light, then the light proceeded towards him and turned his body into a puddle of black water. A skeleton could be seen in the black puddle of water.


    The scene made Zhao Feng, who was tens of kilometers away, take a cold breath.


    What kind of being was that hooded figure? A Martial Master of the seventh rank was demolished in one move.


    It was just too terrifying¡­


    Not only that, the ice blue eyes seemed to glance his way as well. Zhao Feng felt his blood freeze and his breathe stop.


    Roar¡­


    Three high tier deadly beasts of the eighth rank came from behind the hooded figure and they headed towards Zhao Feng and the others.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Zhao Feng sped in the opposite direction. Feng Hanyue and the others also sensed the aura of the deadly beasts, and they sprinted away as well.


    ¡°Why would there be high tier deadly beasts here?¡±


    Two silver figures appeared and headed towards the high tier deadly beasts.


    _Boom¡­_ __


    The three high tiers beasts were beaten to death ten breaths later.


    ¡°Is this the true strength of the Guanjun Corps?¡± Zhao Feng had seen the whole scene, and couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue.


    ¡°What kind of power was it to dissolve a Martial Master into a pool of water?¡± When the Guanjun Corps saw what happened, they all took in a cold breath, but the hooded figure had disappeared.


    Zhao Feng and the other three let out a breath as they exited the Sky Cloud Forest.


    ¡°I wonder if the Deadly Wolves Leader is dead or alive.¡± Lu Xiaoyu and Lei Cong were unwilling.


    At this time, one of the Guanjun Corpsmen came flying over.


    ¡°There¡¯s a change in plans, the mission ends now.¡± The guard¡¯s voice was nervous.


    What happened?


    Why would the mission suddenly end?


    Feng Hanyue and the others were curious. According to what they knew, the area still had a few bandits left.


    ¡°Don¡¯t ask anything! Everyone return to the Guanjun Province City.¡± The expression of the guard was solemn.


    Only Zhao Feng was thinking that the sudden change must have something to do with the hooded figure. The power of the hooded figure had exceeded the limits of the human body.


    **************


    _On the same day..._ __


    Under the guidance of eight Guanjun Corpsmen, the Sky Guards Battalion returned the way they came from. After leaving the bandit zone, the Guanjun Corps let out a breath. But somehow, Zhao Feng seemed to feel that a pair of ice blue eyes were following them.


    Inside the dimension of his left eye, the ice blue eyes appeared once again.


    A few days later, the geniuses arrived back in Guanjun Province City, and it was only then that the feeling of being spied on disappeared. The Guanjun Province City was under the control of Lord Guanjun, the factions out there must be wary of him.


    Inside the Sky Guards Battalion, Third Guard calculated the total battle points.


    ¡°Feng Hanyue, 45 battle points.¡±


    ¡°Lei Cong, 32 battle points.¡±


    ¡­..


    ¡°Lu Xiaoyu, 26 battle points.¡±


    The points awarded to the Ten Sky Guards were read out in order. Most of them were around 20 or so. Finally, it was Zhao Feng¡¯s turn.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, 72 battle points.¡±


    When he read that, Third Guard¡¯s eyes contracted as this was unexpected. But the battle points were given under consent of the Guanjun Corps, so Third Guard wasn¡¯t suspicious.


    ¡°72 battle points!¡± The youths took in a cold breath, his battle points easily dominated the others.


    ¡°Hmph, if I was the one who finished off the almost dead seventh rank leader, number one might¡¯ve been me.¡±


    Many of them still felt that Zhao Feng was lucky.


    Soon, everyone¡¯s battle points had been announced and Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi both received 20 each, almost beating Lu Xiaoyu, which made the latter¡¯s face turn dim.


    When they left, they had laughed at Zhao Feng¡¯s team. But this scene was like a slap in the face.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, being the person with the top battle points, you get an extra reward.¡± Third Guard kicked everyone else out except for Zhao Feng.

 76 Two Choices

    An extra reward?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing rate increased: ¡°May I ask Third Guard what the reward is?¡±


    ¡°The first choice is an extra 100 battle points, and the second is all your battle points get cleared, but you get a Holy martial art,¡± the man said.


    100 battle points¡­what!? Holy martial art?


    The first choice could give Zhao Feng much more items because 10 points could already be exchanged for one peak ranked martial art. But the second choice was a Holy martial art!


    No wonder the Guanjun Palace was one of the strongest factions, it could take out Holy martial arts easily.


    ¡°Obviously, I suggest that you choose the first reward because you can use those points to get many more items. As for Holy martial arts, they are much too hard to train for those under the seventh rank, even some ninth rankers can¡¯t learn them,¡± Third Guard suggested.


    Zhao Feng went into deep thought.


    This man in front of him was ranked third among the Guanjun Corpsmen, and he was one of the right hand men of Lord Guanjun, so his judgement was usually logical.


    If he made the first choice, Zhao Feng could get another 100 battle points and exchange it for a half-Holy martial art and some cultivation resources, whereas all his battle points would be cleared if he chose the second choice.


    He had to face a huge risk if he chose the Holy martial art, because it would be wasted if he couldn¡¯t train it. Thinking logically, the first choice was better, but it was a Holy martial art! A chance to surpass the Martial Path and enter the legendary Holy Martial Path¡­


    _Hu!_


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath, it was hard for him to decide.


    ¡°Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that one of the Guanjun Palace¡¯s rules states that those under the seventh rank can¡¯t choose a Holy martial art. I can give you seven more days to decide,¡± the Guanjun Corpsman suddenly added.


    Seventh rank of the Martial Path?


    Zhao Feng nodded his head, let Fate make the decision then.


    During the mission, his cultivation had reached the peak sixth rank.


    Seven days.


    If he broke through to the seventh rank, Zhao Feng would choose the second option. If he couldn¡¯t, then he could only choose the first.


    After making his decision, Zhao Feng returned to his wooden room quickly.


    After the mission, numerous youths went to the Treasury Hall to trade their battle points for martial arts, resources, and weapons. Only Zhao Feng remained inside his wooden room.


    The afternoon that day, Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi returned joyously. Zhao Yufei had chosen a peak ranked martial art and many cultivation resources.


    Feng Hanyue and Lei Cong both traded most of their points for cultivation resources, while Lei Cong traded all of his points for resources and pills.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ this rare thousand year fire grass and blood strength pill will help me break through to the seventh rank¡­ I will definitely succeed this time!¡± Lei Cong sat crossed-legged in his wooden room, his face full of excitement.


    The thousand year fire grass was much more precious than other thousand year plants as it contained more energy than the others.


    The blood strengthening pill helped condense and purify one¡¯s Inner Strength and it gave a certain amount of help to someone trying to break through the seventh rank.


    ****************


    From that day on, the youths of Sky Guards Battalion all started to cultivate.


    Just that night alone, many youths had reached the fifth and sixth ranks.


    The second day, the third day¡­ some of the youths improved dramatically. On the third day, a powerful aura washed out from Lei Cong¡¯s room, and the youths of the Sky Guards Battalion couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    ¡°Oh my god¡­ has Lei Cong reached the seventh rank?¡± The expressions of the youths changed.


    At the same time, there was a disturbance in the other wooden rooms.


    The fourth day, the fifth day¡­youth after youth came out of cultivation.


    ¡°Brother Lei is only 17 years old and at the seventh rank already, indeed a genius.¡±


    ¡°Haha! I don¡¯t have to look at Feng Hanyue¡¯s face anymore, I can do whatever I want!¡± Lei Cong walked and felt the wariness and respect in the eyes of those nearby.


    At this time Lu Xiaoyu walked over. ¡°Congrations to Brother Lei for entering the Martial Master rank.¡±


    Lu Xiaoyu made some improvements as well, he had reached the peak sixth rank, just one step away from seventh.


    Exchanging a few words, Lu Xiaoyu pulled Lei Cong over to the side and said something in a low tone.


    Oh?


    Lei Cong scanned the tenth wooden room after he heard this.


    Zhao Feng had stayed in his room ever since they returned from the mission and no one knew what he had received. Only Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi knew that Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t gone to the Treasury Hall to get anything.


    What was he doing?


    Even if he was going to cultivate, wouldn¡¯t it be easier if he exchanged some of his battle points for resources or pills?


    At this moment, Zhao Feng sat on the floor as his Inner Strength coursed throughout his body. As he was breathing, the aura he released was even stronger than usual.


    A few days ago, he had eaten the last one thousand year old plant and felt that his Inner Strength was purified, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t successfully reach the seventh rank, instead he was just half a step away.


    ¡°It looks like that it¡¯s unlikely that I will reach the seventh rank in the next two days,¡± Zhao Feng sighed.


    The difference between the sixth and seventh rank was a massive one, so many cultivators stayed at the peak sixth rank and never managed to enter the seventh.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Come out and accept my challenge!¡± someone shouted from outside the room.


    _Hm?_


    Zhao Feng walked out of his room and realized there were a bunch of people gathering. The challenge came from a youth of the peak sixth rank.


    To receive better treatment with the Ten Sky Guards, one had to become one of the Ten Sky Guards.


    _Fine, I¡¯ll work out my bones._


    Zhao Feng faced the other peak sixth rank youth.


    Dragon Soaring through the Sky!


    The opponent immediately used a peak ranked speed skill and a perfected fist skill. Zhao Feng stood tall with one hand behind his back, then he pointed one finger at the youth.


    "Ahh!" the youth exclaimed, the Inner Strength contained in that one finger was unstoppable and it had almost made him cough up blood. In just two moves, he was put down by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Such strong chi!¡±


    ¡°This Zhao Feng doesn¡¯t seem like he is in the rumors.¡±


    The nearby youths were slightly stunned as Zhao Feng¡¯s strength could be placed in the top three if not the top five.


    ¡°Wow, so strong!¡± Lu Xiaoyu laughed lightly from not far away.


    Next to him stood a silver clothed bald youth.


    _Hmmm?_


    Zhao Feng was shocked as he stared at Lei Cong who had reached the seventh rank. In just a few days, another seventh rank was produced.


    As they looked at each other¡¯s eyes, Zhao Feng could feel the enmity and coldness in the other''s eyes. That day at the bandit zone, Lei Cong wanted to take a share of Zhao Feng¡¯s battle points, but he was unsuccessful.


    ¡°What brings the two of you here?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t fear them. Because he hadn¡¯t broken through to the seventh rank yet, he needed to spar with someone and release the frustration.


    ¡°Brat named Zhao, you came first in terms of battle points. I, Lei Cong, want to see how you achieved that.¡± Light flashed in Lei Cong¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Wait! Let me spar with him first," Lu Xiaoyu challenged him first.


    ¡°You¡¯re not my match,¡± Zhao Feng shook his head.


    Although he was half a step away from reaching the Martial Master, his true strength could match one.


    ¡°We haven¡¯t met for a few days and you¡¯ve become so arrogant. I want to see how much you¡¯ve improved by.¡± Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s eyebrows twitched as he used his best skill, Cloud Shattering Fist.


    ¡°Break,¡± Zhao Feng lightly exclaimed as a green streak shot out from his fingertips.


    ¡°Inner Strength out of the body!¡± The expression of the nearby youths changed dramatically.


    _Shua!_


    Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s Cloud Shattering Fist was pierced through by the wisp of green light and a hole appeared on his chest.


    ¡°How¡­ ? You haven¡¯t reached the seventh rank yet!¡± Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s face was pale and he couldn¡¯t believe it.


    Zhao Feng had defeated Lu Xiaoyu in one move. Because Zhao Feng was at the peak sixth rank and his Star Finger was at the fourth level, his attack was on par with Martial Masters.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your strength exceeded my expectation but you still can¡¯t beat me,¡± Lei Cong said confidently as he slowly walked over.


    After reaching the seventh rank, both the quantity and quality of his Inner Strength had increased, any casual action seemed profound.


    ¡°Shut up with the useless words, if you want a fight. then hurry it up,¡± Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°Good, good, good!¡±


    Lei Cong laughed instead of getting angry and a silver aura suddenly appeared from his body that swept towards the Zhao Feng.


    Final Wind Palm!


    Lei Cong¡¯s seventh rank Inner Strength exploded and as the palm pushed out, a silver air wave could be seen.


    One Line Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s fingertip spat out an azure colored chi that streaked through the sky like a meteor and collided with Lei Cong¡¯s palm.


    _Hong~_


    The force created by the two washed up a thick layer of dust that engulfed the two figures.

 77 Seventh Rank, Holy Martial Ar

    In a blink of an eye, Lei Cong and Zhao Feng had exchanged blows. The power from the blows made the other youths dodge away immediately.


    Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng charged forwards instead of retreating as his left eye could catch the changes of Inner Strength and blood movement.


    _Boom! Boom! Boom¡­_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Star Finger had reached the peak fourth level and he could fire tens of finger beams in an instant. Streaks of azure light could be seen flying everywhere, every finger striving for perfection and damage.


    In a very short time period, Zhao Feng and Lei Cong were on par with each other. Lei Cong had the advantage in higher cultivation and therefore, he could use a wide range attack, while Zhao Feng had his Spatial Star Finger, which was on par with attacks from the seventh rank.


    In terms of attack speed, Zhao Feng was actually faster and he held the initiative.


    Final Wind breaking the Skies!


    Lei Cong¡¯s palm exploded and sent a barrier of wind towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Mysterious Wind Palm!¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately merged the picture of the girl''s palm in his mind. Through the battles he had fought in, his palm was even stronger than before. The two palms clashed together, but Zhao Feng¡¯s azure palm seemed to engulf all the wind and it easily resolved Lei Cong¡¯s attack.


    ¡°What kind of skill is that¡­?¡± Lei Cong was stunned, the skill he used just then was one of his best.


    Flowing Wind Stance!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body suddenly became more agile and he seemed to dance with the wind, sometimes he attacked with Mysterious Wind Palm and sometimes with Star Finger.


    _Doom¡­pew¡­bang¡­_


    The two figures sent air waves crashing everywhere.


    Ten moves, twenty moves, thirty moves¡­


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Inner Strength and skills became more honed. Facing a Martial Master had ignited the potential within Zhao Feng. Unconsciously, his Star Finger had fully consolidated at the peak of the fourth level and his Metal Wall Technique had closed in on the late stages of the fifth level as well. This allowed him to fight a Martial Master head on and not lose.


    After one hundred or so moves, the two both felt slightly fatigued. Zhao Feng felt his Inner Strength become purer and it had a chaotic feeling to it.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his cultivation go a step further and he slowly started to break through the last barrier.


    ¡°Today¡¯s sparring stops here.¡±


    Zhao Feng''s figure immediately left the battle circle and he returned back to his wooden room. Lei Cong couldn¡¯t gain the upper hand at all and he felt slightly tired as well. He realized that this was because his cultivation hadn¡¯t stabilized.


    On a wooden house far away, Feng Hanyue stood there watching.


    ¡°Brother Feng, what do you think about the battle?¡± one youth asked.


    ¡°Lei Cong has just reached the seventh rank and he is pretty useless. As for Zhao Feng, he might be able to threaten me if he reaches the seventh rank.¡± Feng Hanyue¡¯s expression was calm.


    At this moment, the aura coming from him seemed to be close to the peak seventh rank. It was obvious that he had improved since the mission.


    ********************


    _Inside wooden room #10..._


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged and started to circulate his Inner Strength. Through battle, his potential had ignited. At this moment, he even felt his Inner Strength roaring powerfully as it traveled through his body. Both the quality and quantity of it was increasing rapidly.


    That night, Zhao Feng¡¯s Inner Strength tried to exit his body and he was finally able to condense it. Because he had the experience of making his Inner Strength leave his body due to Star Finger, he was able to successfully break through.


    ¡°It worked!¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and opened his palm. A green glow of light jumped out and then returned back inside his body. In that instant, he only needed one thought to completely explode his Inner Strength and send Martial Artists flying. Only then did Zhao Feng realize how strong the seventh rank was. Zhao Feng only took one day to completely consolidate the power, even beating Lei Cong.


    If he used his Star Finger. the power would be on a whole level higher. As his cultivation had increased, his Metal Wall Technique had also reached peak fifth rank.


    The Metal Wall Technique was split into seven levels, and the sixth level could form a barrier using Inner Strength, which even seventh and eighth ranks would find hard to break. According to what it wrote, if one reached the seventh level, their body would be perfect.


    Thinking about it now, Zhao Feng thought that something was wrong, because at that level, it would have exceeded the limits of the human body unless there was still a gap between the sixth and seventh level. Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he thought about Zhao Yufei¡¯s grandfather, the one-armed old man.


    When they had exchanged, the old man may have also changed something on Metal Wall Technique, just like how he had kept back information. He didn¡¯t think too much about these problems because he had broken through to the seventh rank and he could choose his reward.


    ¡°Holy martial art! It looks like this is what Fate has decided for me¡­" Zhao Feng suppressed his excitement.


    Today was the day he needed to answer Third Guard.


    ********************


    _The building in the middle of the field..._


    ¡°You¡¯ve decided to choose the Holy Martial Art?¡± Third Guard was slightly surprised as he stared at Zhao Feng.


    He never thought that Zhao Feng would be able to reach the seventh rank and enter the ranks of Martial Masters in such a short amount of time.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s tone was decisive.


    ¡°Ok, follow me.¡± The Guanjun Corp didn¡¯t say much as he led Zhao Feng to the Treasury Hall.


    The Treasury Hall was a sacred ground of the Guanjun Palace. There were always two Martial Masters of the ninth rank overseeing the place, and to open the Holy Martial Arts Library, both the ninth rank Martial Masters needed to agree.


    ¡°Open the Holy Martial Arts Library?¡± The two were slightly stunned.


    In the Guanjun Palace, one must have the personal agreement of Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°Open the Holy Martial Arts Library.¡± Third Guard took out a dark silver and gold token.


    Orders of Lord Guanjun!


    The two Martial Masters of the ninth rank immediately bowed down. The silver and gold token represented Lord Guanjun himself. Furthermore, Third Guard was one of the top three of the Guanjun Corps, and he oversaw the Sky Guards Battalion, since Lord Guanjun was in secluded meditation.


    His status could be seen as he took out the token. The two ninth ranks led the way to a dark metallic silver building. The whole building had no windows, it just had a pure black door which had a hole in the middle of it.


    Third Guard walked to the door and placed the Guanjun Token into it.


    _Weng~_


    The pure black door slowly opened and revealed what was inside.


    ¡°You can only choose one Holy martial art.¡± Third Guard took Zhao Feng in, then closed the door.


    In the dark room, there were bright jade slips, around twenty of them and they had martial art names on them.


    Illusion Wind Technique, Blood God Palm, Heavenly Demonic Claw, Sky Domination Hand, Silver Wall Technique¡­


    ¡°Every jade slip represents a Holy Martial Art. Once you¡¯ve decided on which one you want, you can take one out and borrow it for seven days, then send it back after. What you gain all depends on your enlightenment and wisdom,¡± the Guanjun Corpsman told him.


    Zhao Feng knew that these slips were just the summaries of the skills, the real skills had to be taken from elsewhere. There weren¡¯t many Holy Martial Arts in the room, but all of them were complete.


    Illusion Wind Technique: One¡¯s figure turns into the wind and creates doppelgangers. The highest level can create nine doppelgangers. Minimum requirements: Seventh rank.


    Blood God Palm: Dissolves the enemy¡¯s flesh into water and is able to form a deadly poison.


    Heavenly Demonic Claw: A demonic claw that can rip metal into pieces. When trained to the peak it can destroy infinite items.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but shake as he saw the descriptions. Compared with these, the martial arts he learned before were like children¡¯s play.


    _Hmmmm?_


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng saw a name of a jade slip named Silver Wall Technique.


    ¡°Silver Wall Technique?¡±


    Zhao Feng was overrun with joy. His Metal Wall Technique was said to be the simplified version of the Silver Wall Technique.


    Silver Wall Technique: A body strengthening technique that increases the trainer¡¯s strength and defense. Once trained to its peak, the body won¡¯t even melt in fire and it exceeds the limits of the human body.


    Looking at the description, the Metal Wall Technique was similar to Silver Wall Technique, but the latter was more powerful.


    Exceeds the limits of the human body! What kind of thought is that?


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, if one¡¯s body reached its peak, one could instantly step into the Holy Martial Path with just body strength alone. This was similar to the peak fifth level of the Metal Wall Technique, just their muscles alone could fight against fifth or sixth ranks.


    Silver Wall Technique was the same way, one could use their muscles alone and fight against cultivators of the Holy Martial Path.


    ¡°No wonder it¡¯s a Holy tier body strengthening technique¡­¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath and turned back to the other jade slips.

 78 Silver Wall Technique

    Zhao Feng scanned the techniques and he found that offensive skills took up the majority of them. There were only two body strengthening techniques, including Silver Wall Technique.


    ¡°Offensive and speed skills must not be easy to learn,¡± Zhao Feng thought secretly.


    Inside the dimension of his left eye, he had the Mysterious Wind Palm and the four incomplete Holy Martial Arts: Flowing Wind Stance, Tornado Stance, Partial Wind Stance, and Burning Wind Stance.


    Just these Holy martial arts alone would take Zhao Feng a long time to learn, so he swiftly took the jade slip representing Silver Wall Technique when he thought about everything.


    ¡°You choose Silver Wall Technique?¡±


    Third Guard was slightly surprised. He had taken others in here before and they all took offensive skills such as Bloody God Palm and Heavenly Demonic Claw.


    If they learned these skills, they would be able to beat all the other cultivators of the same rank, but there were people who could not learn them.


    ¡°Yep.¡± Zhao Feng was decisive. He chose this skill after much thought.


    ¡°It¡¯s easy to learn a Holy body strengthening technique, but the difficulty increases significantly later on compared to the other skills.¡± The Guanjun Corpsman had a faint smile on his face. He admired Zhao Feng¡¯s decision as the body was the foundation of cultivation. One would only be able to train other skills if their body would allow it.


    After confirming the skill, Third Guard gave a handwritten book to Zhao Feng. Opening it, Zhao Feng saw the contents were similar to Metal Wall Technique, but it was more in-depth and profound.


    ¡°Although this is just a handwritten copy, you still must return it in seven days. You must not give this technique to others or else the Guanjun Palace will cripple your cultivation," the Guanjun Corpsman warned.


    ¡°Understood! But I don¡¯t need to take this book back with me,¡± Zhao Feng said calmly.


    As he said so, he stared at the book and flipped the pages quickly.


    _Shua!_


    In an instant, the contents were copied into Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. Tens of breaths later, Zhao Feng returned the handwritten book back to Third Guard.


    ¡°You¡­," Third Guard was slightly dazed.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already memorized it,¡± Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    _What kind of monster was he¡­?_


    Stunned shock could be seen in Third Guard¡¯s eyes. He had seen geniuses that could memorize whatever they saw, but it was his first time seeing someone memorize the whole book.


    After all, the book contained complex pictures and phrases, a single difference could result in destruction. Even geniuses who could memorize what they saw in one go would look over it repeatedly.


    ¡°Are you sure you¡¯ve memorized it all? Hehe, I bet little brother Bei will be interested¡­" The Guanjun Corpsman sent Zhao Feng away with his eyes and gave a short laugh.


    He trusted that Zhao Feng had memorized it because no one could resist the temptation of a Holy martial art¡­


    After leaving the Treasury Hall, Zhao Feng returned to the Sky Guards Battalion. As soon as he got near his wooden room, Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi looked expectantly at him.


    ¡°Brother Feng, what did you get at the Treasury Hall?¡± Zhao Yufei blinked at him, extremely curious. Everyone knew that Zhao Feng had gotten the most battle points in the mission so he had an extra reward.


    ¡°Secret.¡± Zhao Feng gave a mysterious smile and he returned to his wooden room, he didn¡¯t want everyone to know that he had a Holy martial art.


    *************


    _Within wooden room #10..._


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged and the contents of Silver Wall Technique surfaced in his mind. He learned it while comparing it with Metal Wall Technique at the same time.


    ¡°Metal Wall Technique is indeed just a simplified version of Silver Wall Technique¡­¡±


    Excitement shone in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes. The more it was so, the better it was for him because a brand new skill was hard to learn. But because he had learned Metal Wall Technique, he had a solid foundation and therefore, it was easier to train.


    Silver Wall Technique was split into eleven levels.


    The first three levels were similar to the Metal Wall Technique, with strengthening the skin as the focus. The fourth to sixth levels focused on strengthening the bones, which increased the offensive power of the user. The seventh to ninth levels focused on strengthening the organs and ignited the potential of one¡¯s body. One could form a barrier from Inner Strength that could block the arrows of ten thousand archers.


    The tenth level: complete change of bones and blood, break through to the Holy Martial Path!


    Reading up to here, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know how to express himself. The tenth level allowed someone to reach the Holy Martial Path.


    Eleventh level: Body of Perfection, almost undestroyable.


    Zhao Feng held his breath as he read this, then compared it with the seventh level of Metal Wall Technique.


    ¡°It looks like the Metal Wall Technique from the one-armed old man has problems because it misses out on at least three levels, and a high ranked martial art can¡¯t allow someone to reach the Holy Martial Path,¡± Zhao Feng analyzed.


    He was even suspicious that the old man had the Silver Wall Technique, but was just afraid to take it out. But since these questions had no answers, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to figure them out.


    On the same time, Zhao Feng started to train Silver Wall Technique. Zhao Feng only used three hours to easily successfully train the first three levels, and he couldn¡¯t give voice to how nice he felt.


    It was the same three levels as Metal Wall Technique, but deeper.


    From the fourth level onwards, the difference between the two became greater. The fourth to sixth levels of Silver Wall Technique equaled the fourth to sixth ranks of the Martial Path, unlike the Metal Wall Technique, where the increase in levels had a massive gap.


    *************


    _Night of the next day..._


    Zhao Feng successfully reached the fifth level of Silver Wall Technique and his progress slowed down. But because Zhao Feng had Metal Wall Technique as the foundation, he still reached the sixth level within the next three days.


    ¡°The sixth level of Silver Wall Technique, I can wipe out anyone under the seventh rank and I can even challenge Martial Masters of the seventh rank with just my muscles alone.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled and a smile appeared on his lips.


    His strength had increased by at least half because Inner Strength and Martial arts all used the body as the basis.


    After reaching the sixth level of the Technique, his progress was so slow that it had technically stopped. Zhao Feng understood that the foundation of Metal Wall Technique had all been used up. To improve this technique, it now required him actually working.


    _Hu~_


    Zhao Feng let out a breath and yawned. He had been training for a few days and when he went out, he found out that the situation had changed in the Sky Guards Battalion.


    The tent that Zhao Yufei used to live in had disappeared, leaving behind Huang Qi¡¯s.


    ¡°Two days ago, Lady Yufei reached top five of the Ten Sky Guards and Lu Xiaoyu has reached top three. Apart from that, two more of the original Ten Sky Guards have been replaced¡­¡± Huang Qi summarized the situation.


    The kill mission had changed the situation of the Ten Sky Guards as some youths had received good rewards, which allowed them to increase by leaps and bounds.


    However, no one challenged Zhao Feng because he had fought Lei Cong to a draw a few days ago and was said to be ranked third.


    ¡°Oh yes, you need to be careful. Lei Cong is coming out of training today and I heard that he wants to spar with you again,¡± Huang Qi warned.


    Lei Cong?


    Zhao Feng smiled and didn¡¯t put it to heart. His cultivation had been suppressed to the peak sixth rank, so Huang Qi didn¡¯t know that he had broken through. His Withering Wood Technique had reached perfection, which allowed him to even fake death.


    Soon, Zhao Feng arrived at wooden room #5 and sparred with Zhao Yufei. Zhao Yufei did make some major improvements, training in three different peak ranked martial arts, which were offensive, defensive, and body strengthening respectively.


    Zhao Yufei learned skills and increased in cultivation way faster than others. After the mission, she had honed her skills and her potential had ignited, which allowed her to reach the peak sixth rank.


    As the two sparred, two youths of fifteen-some years old arrived at the entrance of the Sky Guards Battalion.


    ¡°There are newbies arriving at the Sky Guards Battalion?¡± A few of the youths were curious.


    The two were different, one was handsome and easy to interact with, while the other was expressionless.


    ¡°Master will be coming out in half a month, I wonder how many of the Sky Guards Battalion he will choose,¡± the social youth said.


    The expressionless youth only listened and didn¡¯t reply. The two walked shoulder to shoulder and arrived in front of the Ten Sky Guards.


    ¡°Sixth brother, don¡¯t you want to see the elites of the Ten Sky Guards?¡± the interactive youth asked.


    ¡°No," the expressionless youth said.


    ¡°Ahh, you¡¯re too straightforward.¡± A light smile appeared on the other''s face as he sighed.


    ¡°Who dares to be arrogant here!?¡± Lei Cong just happened to walk out from the second room and heard this.


    ¡°Zhe zhe seventh rank, so-so,¡± the talkative youth said playfully.


    ¡°I¡¯ll see what makes you so arrogant.¡±


    Lei Cong send a palm with a ring of Inner Strength in it towards the two youths. If they were Martial Artists, this move alone would send them flying.


    However, the two didn¡¯t move at all.


    ¡°F*ck off!¡±


    The expressionless youth stood still as he released a bronze colored chi that ripped Lei Cong¡¯s attack into shreds.


    _Boom¡ª-_


    Lei Cong¡¯s body was sent flying and with a ¡°krak¡±, the wooden room behind him was also destroyed.

 79 Super Genius Bei

    _Boom!_


    The loud sound immediately alarmed the other youths of the Sky Guards Battalion.


    ¡°Who are those two? They sent Lei Cong flying in one hit.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t they know that it¡¯s against the rules to destroy the wooden houses?¡±


    A few of the youths were shocked. Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei were both alarmed by this as well. When they went out, they saw that the wooden house belonging to Lei Cong had been destroyed and Lei Cong himself had just managed to get rid of the wood covering him.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you two scared of the punishment from the Sky Guards Battalion?¡± Lei Cong wiped the blood leaking from his mouth.


    ¡°We¡¯re not from the Sky Guards Battalion.¡± The handsome youth curled his lips while the expressionless youth remained expressionless.


    ¡°Final Wind destroying the Skies!¡±


    Lei Cong once again exploded out with Inner Strength and shot towards the two strangers. This move contained his full power and it could easily kill cultivators of the sixth rank.


    ¡°Let me do it!¡±


    The joyful youth laughed gently and he sent a twirl of white Inner Strength towards the attack and resolved it easily.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Lei Cong felt his body move forward without doing anything, so he immediately circulated his Inner Strength and tried to retreat.


    ¡°Hehe, come down!¡±


    The youth twirled his hand once more and Lei Cong felt a suction force below him that pulled him down.


    _Plop!_


    Lei Cong fell right down and he was kicked flying by the youth.


    ¡°Aye, it looks like there aren¡¯t any geniuses within the Sky Guards Battalion.¡± The handsome youth shook his head.


    ¡°I said that,¡± the expressionless youth said , but what he actually meant was ''I said that, it was you that forced me to come here¡­''


    The other youth stiffened slightly.


    The fight had started and ended in an instant.


    _Si!_


    The watching youths of the Sky Guards Battalion drew in cold breaths. Lei Cong, ranked number two, had been defeated this easily...


    ¡°That skill he just used had surpassed the peak ranked martial arts, could it be¡­"


    Zhao Feng was slightly stunned. He was certain that the skill the joyful youth had just used was at least at the half-Holy rank!


    ¡°Who says that the Sky Guards Battalion is weak?¡± a cold clear sound came from a wooden room on the side.


    _Shua!_ __


    A beautiful silver haired figure appeared.


    ¡°Feng Hanyue!¡±


    Expressions of joy appeared on the youths of the Sky Guards Battalion. Feng Hanyue was ranked first among the Ten Sky Guards and he had reached the seventh rank way before Lei Cong. And he had beaten Lei Cong when he had reached the seventh rank in ten moves.


    ¡°Hm? There seems to be some sort of genius at least.¡± The talkative youth laughed as he sized up Feng Hanyue.


    Feng Hanyue started to glow silver as his hair flowed in the wind.


    _Ceng! Shua!_ __


    The two youths immediately crossed paths and with a bang, they created a hole where they stood.


    ¡°Sky Illusion Stance!¡±


    Feng Hanyue used his incomplete Holy Martial Art and his figure became like the moon, unrealistic and fast.


    ¡°Wind Turbine Technique!¡±


    The other youth stood still and clasped his hands together. As he did so, a tornado appeared.


    _What!_


    Feng Hanyue felt his body being pulled by a strong force.


    ¡°What kind of technique is this? My incomplete Holy martial art has no effect at all.¡±


    _Boom!_


    The social youth made two slicing actions with his hands and the tornado turned into circles and circles that tried to restrain Feng Hanyue.


    ¡°Illusion Moon Heavenly Slice!¡±


    Feng Hanyue shouted and a cold silver glow appeared on his arms that turned into blades and collided with the enemy¡¯s attacks.


    The two forces bit at each other for a moment before the remaining energy blew everything away.


    At last, the social youth had destroyed Feng Hanyue¡¯s half-Holy martial art because he had more profound Inner Strength.


    _Pew!_ __


    Feng Hanyue¡¯s body was sent seven to eight meters away and he was extremely pale-faced. ¡°Even half-Holy martial arts don¡¯t affect him, could it be that he¡¯s trained a Holy martial art¡­?¡±


    ¡°Not bad, you managed to sustain twenty moves with me.¡±


    The youth that won had admiration in his eyes. At this moment, his aura was fully released and he made it hard for Lei Cong and Feng Hayue to breathe.


    ¡°Eighth rank of the Martial Path¡­,¡± Lei Cong exclaimed.


    The social youth¡¯s cultivation had surpassed everyone in the Sky Guards Battalion.


    ¡°Eighth rank of the Martial Path¡­and a peak eighth rank!¡± Zhao Feng was shocked by what he saw.


    The other expressionless youth had reached the peak eighth rank.


    It was hard to imagine that a fifteen-year old youth had almost reached the ninth rank. The ninth rank was already the peak because the Holy Martial Path was just a legend.


    ¡°Who are you!?¡± Feng Hanyue looked at the two warily.


    ¡°I¡¯m Nan Gongfan and this is my sixth brother¡­ Bei Moi,¡± the talkative youth introduced them both.


    Nan Gonfgan? Bei Moi?


    The youths hadn¡¯t even heard of them, but how could they not know such geniuses in the Guanjun Palace?


    ¡°Brother Nan Gongfan and Brother Bei, what brings you here?¡± a voice sounded from the central building. Before anyone could react, Third Guard appeared.


    ¡°Elder Brother.¡± Nan Gongfan and Bei Moi both bowed.


    Elder Brother? Third Guard was the elder brother of the two? Lei Cong and his cronies almost swallowed their tongues.


    ¡°These two are disciples of Lord Guanjun,¡± Third Guard told the Sky Guards Battalion.


    ¡°Disciples of Lord Guanjun?¡± Waves of admiration, jealousy and envy shook in their hearts.


    ¡°No wonder they¡¯re so strong, they¡¯re disciples of Lord Guanjun!¡± Many of the geniuses let out sighs of relief.


    ¡°I heard that Master will be coming in half a month to find disciples in the Sky Guards Battalion, so we came to check them out,¡± Nan Gongfan said, smiling while Bei Moi next to him was expressionless as always.


    ¡°Brother Bei, we have one person that may beat you in a certain aspect,¡± Third Guard had a mysterious smile.


    Hearing this, interest immediately showed on both Nan Gongfan and Bei Moi¡¯s faces.


    ¡°Who?¡±


    Bei Moi turned around and scanned the faces of the geniuses on the field. In their eyes, only Feng Hanyue was even so-so.


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡± Third Guard¡¯s eyes turned to Zhao Feng not far away.


    ¡°What does Third Guard want with me?¡± Zhao Feng walked forward with a weird expression.


    _Him?_ __


    Nan Gongfan and Bei Moi both stared at him, which made Zhao Feng feel a lot of pressure.


    ¡°Brother Bei, although your talent is good and you have a good memory, Zhao Feng may be better,¡± Third Guard said.


    ¡°Hehe, really?¡± Nan Gongfan asked excitedly.


    These two seemed as if they wanted someone to beat this brother of theirs. Yes, Bei Moi¡¯s talent was just insane, it had reached a level where the both of them were jealous and envious.


    In terms of gaining enlightenment and talent, Bei Moi had surpassed them way too much. Now that they had finally found someone who might be able to exceed Bei Moi in terms of memory, they obviously wouldn¡¯t pass this chance up.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it," Bei Moi said casually.


    ¡°How do you know if you don¡¯t try?¡± Nan Gongfan seemed excited, although he wasn¡¯t that confident.


    Soon, the four of them entered the building at the middle of the field.


    Third Guard immediately took a book out and slammed it onto the table. ¡°This is a half-Holy martial art named Smoking Transparent Step."


    Half-Holy martial art? Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°Neither of you have learned this skill, right?¡± His eyes scanned both Zhao Feng and Bei Moi.


    ¡°Nope!¡± The two both shook their heads.


    ¡°Both of you use your fastest speed to memorize the contents,¡± Third Guard announced.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go first.¡±


    Bei Moi took the book and flipped through the pages. For the entire time, he seemed like a stone statue.


    In around half the time it took to boil tea, Bei Moi finished. ¡°You can test me on anything.¡±


    ¡°Let me test you.¡± Nan Gongfan snatched the book and he picked some places at random, to which Bei Moi responded immediately and correctly.


    This performance shocked Zhao Feng. Ever since he had merged with the mysterious eye, this was the first genius he had seen that could memorize anything just by looking at it once.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, it¡¯s your turn,¡± Third Guard said.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and took the Smoking Transparent Step book.


    _Shua! Shua! Shua¡­_ __


    Around ten breaths later, Zhao Feng returned back the book. ¡°Done.¡±


    This fast?


    Bei Moi and Nan Gonfang were surprised and suspicious. The two chose complex points in the book, but Zhao Feng had memorized it perfectly.


    ¡°Too strong, his memory has surpassed Brother Bei Moi¡¯s.¡± Nan Gongfan was excited and it seemed as if it was an accomplishment for someone to beat Bei Moi.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s eyes scanned Third Guard and Zhao Feng, thinking that the two might have teamed up to trick him.


    ¡°How do you want to prove it then?¡± Third Guard asked back.


    _Pah!_


    Bei Moi took out a book and said casually, ¡°Half Holy martial art ¨C Returning Breath Technique!¡±

 80 Good Bargain

    ¡°Half-Holy ranked martial art ¨C Returning Breath Technique!¡± Bei Moi slammed this book down on the table.


    Another half-Holy ranked martial art and a Inner Strength one at that as well!


    Zhao Feng laughed in his heart. Just in this short while, without using a bit of energy, he had earned a half-Holy ranked speed skill and now, he was getting a Inner Strength one. The two skills were all useful to Zhao Feng because his Lightly Micro Step was just a high ranked martial art. Even if he did have the help of Air Crossing Breathing Technique, it was only comparable to a peak ranked martial art.


    As for the Inner Strength skill, Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightly Floating Ferry, with the help of Air Crossing Breathing Technique, was comparable to a half-Holy ranked martial art, but the one that Bei Moi took out was already at the half-Holy rank.


    ¡°This is a skill I took from a cultivator of the ninth rank after I slew him. Even I haven¡¯t read it yet, if you can still memorize it in the short amount of time like before, then you win,¡± Bei Moi said.


    Slew a cultivator of the ninth rank?


    Zhao Feng was shocked as he stared at the expressionless youth in front of him.


    How strong was he?


    The weird thing was that Third Guard and Nan Gongfan weren¡¯t suspicious of him at all. But slightly and just faintly, Zhao Feng saw the jealousy in Nan Gongfan¡¯s eyes. It was obvious that although they had the same Master, Third Guard and Nan Gongfan were both envious of Bei Moi¡¯s talent.


    Now that they had finally found someone who could beat Bei Moi in a certain aspect, they were obviously happy.


    ¡°What? Are you scared?¡± A light smile appeared on Bei Moi¡¯s lips, he couldn¡¯t believe that anyone in the Guanjun Palace could beat him in terms of memorization. He was certain that Zhao Feng had planned this with Third Guard to trick him.


    ¡°Sure.¡± Zhao Feng laughed within his heart.


    Maybe a half-Holy ranked martial art wasn¡¯t precious to Third Guard and Bei Moi, as they were disciples of Lord Guanjun, but it was to Zhao Feng.


    After he accepted, Zhao Feng immediately read the contents of Returning Breath Technique.


    _Shua! Shua! Shua¡­_


    As Zhao Feng swiped through the pages, a faint green light appeared on his left eye. But no paid attention to it as the aura it released was the exact same as Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    _Tens of breaths later..._


    _Pah!_


    Zhao Feng threw the book back onto the table and let out a breath.¡°Test me.¡±


    ¡°Let me do it.¡± Surprise and suspicion rose in Bei Moi¡¯s eyes, so he took the book and picked a few places.


    Zhao Feng immediately responded without hesitation and answered all the questions perfectly.


    ¡°Hehe, Brother Bei! You lost!¡± Nan Gongfan couldn¡¯t deny the joy in his heart.


    ¡°It looks like Brother Bei loses at times as well.¡± An expression of satisfaction appeared on Third Guard¡¯s face, as after all, Zhao Feng was in the Sky Guards Battalion, which was under his control.


    But the one who was the most happy was actually Zhao Feng. Without using any energy at all, he had gotten two half-Holy ranked martial arts. Where else could he find stuff like this?


    Only Bei Moi had a grim face on.


    After all, he was only a youth of fifteen years and he had never received criticism before. Zhao Feng even saw the cold light in his eyes, it was obvious that he had left a mark in Bei Moi¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Is it worth it to offend a super genius for two half-Holy ranked martial arts?¡± Zhao Feng thought deeply.


    To lose is to gain, everything had a price.


    ¡°Memory doesn¡¯t mean you can gain insights. I¡¯m leaving.¡± Bei Moi stood up and left by himself.


    Nan Gongfan and Third Guard exchanged glances, both happy to see Bei Moi lose. Zhao Feng then got up and returned to his wooden room.


    Closing his eyes, Returning Breath Technique and Smoking Transparent Step surfaced in his mind. A smile appeared on his face as he looked at the two skills. This was his first time touching a half-Holy ranked martial art.


    He first looked at Returning Breath Technique, which was an Inner Strength skill. The more profound an Inner Strength skill was, the more complex it was to learn and train. It was dangerous as the slightest mistake could result in disaster. But for Zhao Feng, it was far easier because of his left eye. At this moment, he opened the ability of his left eye and a weird hot feeling spread throughout his body.


    Zhao Feng could see the blood flow and Inner Strength in his body. This power was similar to the legendary Inner Sight which could only be achieved at the peak ninth rank, but his sight was even clearer.


    In just a few hours, Zhao Feng had entered the beginning stages of Returning Breath Technique. Even Bei Moi would be shocked if he saw this.


    Returning Breath Technique: Condenses Inner Strength of the highest quality to form a stronger one. This skill allows one to store more Inner Strength than normal.


    ¡°This Inner Strength skill is so strong!¡± Zhao Feng felt his voice tremble slightly.


    Returning Breath¡¯s advantage was that under the condensation of Inner Strength, another Inner Strength of higher quality and lower quantity was formed, therefore one could store more.


    **********************


    _Half a day later..._


    Zhao Feng had condensed a small bubble of Returning Air Inner Strength, and the power of it easily exceed his Air Crossing Breathing Technique.


    The most shocking part was that the Returning Breath Inner Strength could dissolve the Inner Strength of others. Zhao Feng¡¯s original Inner Strength from Air Crossing Breathing Technique was slowly being devoured and changed. As time passed, the Returning Breath Inner Strength became stronger as well.


    ***********************


    _One day and night later..._


    All of Zhao Feng¡¯s original Inner Strength had been changed to Returning Breath Inner Strength. The new Inner Strength formed a layer of green so fast that Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    ¡°My Returning Breath Inner Strength absorbs other Inner Strength and converts it to my own¡­therefore, the attributes of it are the same as before¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng found this point and he was extremely excited. This way, his Returning Breath Inner Strength could be used with his Lightly Floating Ferry, and although the effect might only be eighty to ninety percent of before, it had greater quantity and quality.


    After Returning Breath Technique had been started, Zhao Feng found that his Inner Strength was stronger than Lei Cong¡¯s by at least half, and this was with him only just starting to learn it.


    Next, he started to learn his Smoking Transparent Step outside. This half-Holy ranked martial art was extremely similar to his Lightly Micro Step.


    Smoking Transparent Step: As light as smoke. When trained to the low level, one could move around without being heard.


    Because his Lightly Micro Step had reached perfection, it was easy to enter the beginning stages of Smoking Transparent Step. But if Zhao Feng wanted to reach the low level, it would be hard.


    Zhao Feng trained hard for several days, but he still couldn¡¯t reach the low level. At the point of difficulty, he saw the Flowing Wind Stance in his eye.


    Flowing Wind Stance was a support Holy martial art and when he used Smoking Transparent Step with it, he seemed to gain new insights.


    Half a minute later, Zhao Feng opened his eyes. He trained Smoking Transparent Step once again and he found that he had reached the low level. After reaching the low level, it increased by leaps and bounds and slowed down as it got closer to the high level. At this time, Zhao Feng had gained insights into Flowing Wind Stance, as well!


    ¡°Hmmm, it¡¯s about time.¡± Zhao Feng stopped training his skills.


    Up to now, he had a few major skills:


    Holy ranked martial art ¨C Silver Wall Technique


    Half-Holy ranked martial arts: Returning Breath Technique, Smoking Transparent Step, Lightly Floating Ferry


    Peak ranked martial art: Star Finger (Power not any weaker than half-Holy ranked martial arts)


    Apart from these, he also had Archer God¡¯s Left Eye, whose rank was unknown. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know even know how strong he was now.


    ¡°If we return back to Sun Feather City now, there¡¯ll be no one who is my match,¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Obviously he didn¡¯t want to return back to Sun Feather City now. In this Province City, there were many geniuses of the same generation that were on par with him, if not stronger.


    Bei Moi was already at the peak eighth rank, and he could already kill cultivators of the ninth rank. Staying here, Zhao Feng felt competition and pressure which ignited his potential.


    Finished learning the new skills, Zhao Feng exited his room and he found that there were more changes in the Ten Sky Guards.


    ¡°I heard that Lord Guanjun¡¯s coming out in a few days time, so everyone is trying to become one of the Ten Sky Guards.¡±


    Speaking up to here, Huang Qi was slightly depressed. There was just too many geniuses in the Sky Guards Battalion and under the competition, the youths¡¯ cultivation levels increased by leaps and bounds.


    Huang Qi was the top genius within Pearl Tree City, but he couldn¡¯t even make it into the Ten Sky Guards after coming here.


    ¡°I barely managed to reach the ninth wooden room two days ago, but I was immediately challenged and lost,¡± Huang Qi said bitterly.


    The rankings of the Ten Sky Guards moved significantly these few days, apart from three people. These three were Feng Hanyue, Lei Cong, and Zhao Feng.


    Although Zhao Feng was tenth, his true strength was at least top three, so no one dared to challenge him, which meant that number nine was the major target.


    On this day, Third Guard assembled the youths and announced, ¡°Lord Guanjun has come out of secluded meditation and he will be arriving here personally in three days time.¡±

 81 Intense Competition

    ¡°Lord Guanjun has come out secluded meditation and he will be arriving here personally in three days time.¡± The news exploded in the Sky Guards Battalion.


    Many youths clenched their fists excitedly. In Guanjun Province City, Lord Guanjun meant absolute power, he was a legendary figure respected by every cultivator.


    As this news was announced, the competition between the Ten Sky Guards became even more intensive with even some of the top ten challenging each other.


    Without a doubt, the higher your rank was in the Ten Sky Guards, the higher your chance of getting picked. The group of youths seemed to go insane, crazily cultivating and challenging each other, even if they knew they had almost no chance of winning.


    Over these two days, even Zhao Feng received some challenges.


    Zhao Feng accepted them all and used Star Finger to finish the opponent off in one move. To attract less problems, Zhao Feng released his seventh rank aura.


    He did this for two reasons.


    Firstly, fewer people would challenge him. Since his cultivation reached the seventh rank, he had entered the stages of a Martial Master and a whole new level. Even if you gave the other youths a hundred guts, they wouldn¡¯t dare to challenge him.


    Secondly, the higher the cultivation that Zhao Feng showed, the higher chance of getting picked by Lord Guanjun. Zhao Feng also admired the mysterious and legendary Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°Oh my god! Zhao Feng had reached the seventh rank!¡±


    ¡°The Sky Guards Battalion now has another super genius!¡±


    The news of Zhao Feng reaching the seventh rank exploded. Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi both came to congratulate him.


    ¡°Congratulations to Brother Zhao for reaching Martial Master.¡± Huang Qi looked respectfully and admiringly at Zhao Feng.


    The three tiers in the nine ranks of the Martial Path were called Martial Learner, Martial Artist, and Martial Master. Once someone reached a higher tier, their status would change significantly.


    Martial Learners were the bottom tier of cultivators. Martial Artists not only had some strength, people would respect them. But one would enter the top tier only by entering the Martial Master rank.


    Once someone reached the seventh rank, they could receive invitations from any of the thirteen countries.


    ¡°I knew Brother Feng wouldn¡¯t lose to Feng Hanyue and Lei Cong.¡± Happiness shone in Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes. She felt it easy to accept Zhao Feng reaching the seventh rank and she was happy for him.


    From an outer disciple to an inner disciple, then to a genius in Sun Feather City, Zhao Yufei had been there and witnessed his rise.


    ¡°Yufei, with your potential, you¡¯ll reach the seventh rank soon.¡± Zhao Feng smiled and scanned his left eye over Zhao Yufei¡¯s body. Zhao Yufei¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak sixth rank and she was ranked fifth within the Ten Sky Guards.


    ******************


    _In the building in the middle of the area..._


    ¡°There¡¯s been quite a few geniuses in the Sky Guards Battalion, I hope it doesn¡¯t disappoint Lord Guanjun¡­¡± Third Guard murmured.


    Although he stayed in the building most of the time, he still knew the situation in the Sky Guards Battalion. After hearing that Zhao Feng had reached the seventh rank, Feng Hanyue and Lei Cong were shocked.


    Time crept towards the end of the three days and the atmosphere became more and more tense.


    The ninth position was changing almost every hour. Those that didn¡¯t get challenged were the three great geniuses of the seventh rank, who all used unsurpassable strength to beat their opponents.


    Zhao Feng calmed down and focused on increasing his strength for the last two days. The time Zhao Feng that had was limited, so he focused on Returning Breath Technique and Star Finger, which broke through to the fifth level on the third day.


    Star Finger was split into seven levels and the fifth level made Zhao Feng¡¯s finger send out pulses of beautiful light.


    Extreme perfection! Extreme speed!


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s feeling as he used Star Finger. In just one breath of time, he could fire seven to eight fingers and make the attacks threaten seventh ranks.


    The ultimate move One Line Star Finger reached the power of the eighth rank and this was when he wasn¡¯t even using Silver Wall Technique.


    ¡°Understood, Lord Guanjun will arrive tomorrow.¡±


    The night of the third day, the competition was red hot.


    ****************


    _At night..._


    Huang Qi finally reached rank ninth in the Ten Sky Guards and he settled down there. Now, he had two peak ranked martial arts that had reached a high level and he had also reached the peak sixth rank as well.


    ¡°I¡¯m finally back.¡±


    Huang Qi let out a breath and he challenged number eight who he beat. He did this because the ninth position was just too dangerous as there were too many people challenging it.


    Even with Huang Qi¡¯s peak sixth rank cultivation, he was only placed eighth, which proved how intense the competition was.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, with your strength you can reach top three.¡± Huang Qi was curious.


    He knew Zhao Feng¡¯s strength, Zhao Feng could kill quasi-Martial Masters when he was only at the peak sixth rank, and Feng had received many battle points after the mission. Huang Qi was certain that Zhao Feng could become first or second. He put second in because Feng Hanyue had reached the peak seventh rank.


    Within the Ten Sky Guards, Feng Hanyue was first, Zhao Feng second, and Lei Cong third.


    Obviously, this was the rankings that the other youths had given them, but Zhao Feng was still tenth in the Ten Sky Guards.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already reached the seventh rank, so it doesn¡¯t really matter,¡± Zhao Feng smiled casually.


    Huang Qi couldn¡¯t help but give him an envious look. With Zhao Feng¡¯s current cultivation, there was a high chance of him being chosen by Lord Guanjun, so his rank didn¡¯t really matter.


    He was a super genius who had reached the seventh rank before turning sixteen years old.


    *************


    Time passed slowly.


    Finally morning arrived and Third Guard walked out of his building. ¡°Time is up! All of the Ten Sky Guards come meet me here tomorrow morning. At that time, Lord Guanjun will come personally to give you pointers.¡±


    Hearing this, the Ten Sky Guards screamed with excitement, while the ones who weren¡¯t chosen felt sad.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ I can finally sleep now!¡± Huang Qi laughed out loud.


    It was obvious that Third Guard wanted the youths to be in their peak state when meeting Lord Guanjun. Zhao Feng was also excited. Ever since he had merged with the eye, he had progressed by leaps and bounds.


    When he had entered the Guanjun Palace, the competition between the geniuses had ignited his potential and now, he had the chance to meet the legendary figure of the Cloud Country.


    That night, the Ten Sky Guards slept sweetly.


    ****************


    _The next morning..._ __


    All the youths got up early, full of power. Without Third Guard calling for them, the Ten Sky Guards walked into the building in the middle of the fields. They arrived half an hour early.


    ¡°Not bad, you¡¯re all early.¡±


    Third Guard counted the people present and confirmed their names as there was just too many changes in the ranks in the last few days.


    ¡°Mm-hmm. Ten people here, Feng Hanyue, Lei Cong, Lu Xiaoyu, Zhao Yufei¡­Huang Qi, Li Ziwen, Zhao Feng.¡±


    When he read Zhao Feng¡¯s name, he was slightly stunned and the other youths had weird expressions when they heard this, but no one questioned his strength.


    _Tah! Tah! Tah¡­_


    Just at this time, footsteps sounded from outside.


    The ten youths held their breaths. Before the door even opened, a terrifying power had already pressured upon them. The footsteps seemed to stand upon their hearts.


    Under the gazes of everyone, a few figures walked in¡­

 82 Lord Guanjun

    _Tah! Tah!_


    The footsteps made the heart of the youths clench. Only Third Guard stood there expressionlessly.


    _Creeeek!_ The door was opened and three figures entered.


    The person leading was a fairly handsome youth with clear eyes and a sharp aura.


    ¡°It¡¯s him¡­¡± Zhao Feng found that he knew the person.


    _Yi!_


    Surprise flashed in Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes. This person was the person that brought them from Sun Feather City, Ye Linyun. Behind Ye Linyun were two youths, one smiling and the other expressionless.


    Nan Gongfan! Bei Moi!


    Feng Hanyue and Lei Cong felt their hearts jump.


    _Why did they come?_


    Zhao Feng felt was shocked, he had interacted with Nan Gongfan and Bei Moi, so he knew how terrifying they were. Especially Bei Moi, who had reached the peak eighth rank and could slay cultivators of the ninth. The Ten Sky Guards were dim compared to these two.


    ¡°Brother Ye is here too,¡± Third Guard greeted Ye Linyun.


    Zhao Feng found that Ye Linyun¡¯s seat was in front of Third Guard.


    ¡°Master Ye is also a disciple of Lord Guanjun?¡± Zhao Feng was stunned.


    Just at this moment, he saw Ye Linyun looking at him, it was obvious that Ye Linyun had high hopes for Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Lord Guanjun has come out of secluded meditation this time to confirm one to two core disciples. We don¡¯t have any chances,¡± Ye Linyun and Third Guard discussed.


    Core disciples? Questioning expressions showed on the youth¡¯s faces.


    ¡°There nothing strange. Master Ye, Nan Gongfan, and I are all outer disciples. Only Bei Moi is a core disciple,¡± Third Guard explained.


    Outer disciple! Waves of shock surged in the Ten Sky Guards¡¯ heart.


    Ye Linyun and Third Guard were both at the ninth rank and they were only Outer disciples!? Nan Gongfan was already at the eighth rank at such a young age and he was only an Outer disciple?


    Only Bei Moi was Lord Guanjun¡¯s core disciple.


    _That Bei Moi is only older than me by one year and he¡¯s already at the peak eighth rank and he can kill cultivators of the ninth. Only super geniuses like him can become Lord Guanjun¡¯s core disciple¡­_ , Zhao Feng took in a cold breath.


    With Bei Moi¡¯s strength, he could easily defeat everyone in Sun Feather City and he was a peak tier fighter in Guanjun Province City too. But a genius like him was a competitor.


    When the youths looked at Bei Moi, their eyes dimmed. If it was ten years ago, Nan Gongfan and Feng Hanyue¡¯s talents were the top in a generation, yet because Bei Moi existed, the other geniuses would pale in comparison.


    At the same time, everyone looked at Bei Moi with envy, jealousy, and helplessness.


    ¡°Sir Third Guard, Master has orders to take these Ten Sky Guards to the Spiritual Martial Hall.¡±


    The person that came was a Guanjun Corpsman that half-knelt on the ground. There were eighteen people in the Guanjun Corps, but the top three were all powerful cultivators.


    ¡°Spiritual Martial Hall?¡± Ye Linyun and Third Guard glanced at each other and they saw the curiosity in each other¡¯s eyes.


    Spiritual Martial Hall was an important area in Guanjun Palace and it was the place where Lord Guanjun cultivated. Usually, no one would be allowed to enter the Spiritual Martial Hall unless they were called for.


    ¡°It looks like Master has decided to take some disciples in. This is a big chance for all of you,¡± Ye Linyun said solemnly then stood up and led the way.


    The Ten Sky Guards felt a different atmosphere, but they knew this was a chance to change their destiny.


    ¡°Three years ago, Brother Bei Moi and I went into Spiritual Martial Hall together, but I ended up as an outer disciple while he became a core disciple¡­¡± Nan Gongfan took a deep breath and glanced towards Bei Moi next to him.


    Bei Moi stood there expressionlessly. Going back, Nan Gongfan still didn¡¯t remember how it was decided, but from that day onwards, their destiny changed. Once they became Lord Guanjun¡¯s disciples, even if they were an outer disciple, they would receive many precious resources to help them cultivate.


    ****************


    _Soon..._


    Everyone arrived in front of an ancient silver grey hall. This hall looked like it was empty and dead.


    Entering the hall, not a single figure could be seen, but Zhao Feng could sense the three-four Guanjun Corpsmen there if he opened his eye.


    ¡°Master, they¡¯re here.¡± Ye Linyun stood at the door respectfully.


    ¡°Enter,¡± a voice came from the depths of the hall. The voice seemed to pass through the clouds, with no intention to shock them, but it still did so.


    The Ten Sky Guards held their breaths and every step they took seemed to go towards heaven.


    Zhao Feng felt excited and a warm feeling spread throughout his eye into his body. At this moment, he didn¡¯t dare open his left eye because he had the feeling that a being in the hall was monitoring their every move.


    _Tah Tah! Tah Tah!_


    The group of youngsters walked uneasily into the hall. Even Bei Moi and Nan Gongfan had solemn faces on. In the center of the great hall, a person sat on a futon. If one didn¡¯t see him with their eyes, they wouldn¡¯t have sensed that someone was there.


    The figure that sat on the futon was a middle-aged man wearing gold and silver robes that released no aura at all. It was like he was a commoner. It was hard to believe such a person was the legendary Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°Master, the Ten Sky Guards are here,¡± Third Guard said as he bowed down.


    ¡°Good!¡± Lord Guanjun nodded his head as he opened his eyes and waved his hand.


    The second he opened his eyes the youths were attracted by the limitless ocean within them. Zhao Feng had the feeling that Lord Guanjun¡¯s casual move seemed to interact with his surroundings. The casual swipe of his hands was like a king signalling them to sit.


    Ye Linyun, Third Guard, Bei Moi and Nan Gongfan sat near Lord Guanjun, whereas the other ten youths sat on futons in accordance with their rank.


    First was Feng Hanyue, second was Lei Cong, third Lu Xiaoyu¡­tenth Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Master, there¡¯s quite a few talented geniuses in the Sky Guards Battalion,¡± Third Guard murmured.


    Lord Guanjun was expressionless as he casually glanced at the Ten Sky Guards.


    _Ah!_


    The ten youths instantly felt like they had been struck by lightning.


    In the blink of an eye, Lord Guanjun saw the cultivation of every youth.


    Zhao Feng had a feeling that even though his Withering Wood Technique had reached perfection, he still couldn¡¯t hide his cultivation from Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°Stronger than the previous lot, but none of you have the chance to become my core disciple,¡± Lord Guanjun said expressionlessly as if he was just saying a normal thing, but Zhao Feng saw the disappointment in his eyes.


    _Huang!_


    The ten youths felt like they had fallen into hell. Lord Guanjun said that none of these geniuses entered his eyes.


    ¡°How could it be like this!?¡± Ye Linyun and Third Guard were both shocked and full of disbelief.


    In their eyes, even though they weren¡¯t monsters like Bei Moi, there were geniuses such as Feng Hanyue and Zhao Feng who had both reached the seventh rank at such young ages.


    ¡°Master, how can you be sure if you don¡¯t try¡­?¡± Ye Linyun asked carefully.


    ¡°Yes, Feng Hanyue has already reached the peak seventh rank and Zhao Feng has a better memory than Bei Moi,¡± Third Guard said unwillingly.


    After all, these geniuses were all nurtured by him.

 83 Future Potential

    In the hall, the youths were on their tiptoes.


    Zhao Feng furrowed his brow, refusing to believe that not a single one of the Ten Sky Guards had been looked upon by Lord Guanjun properly in just one glance.


    ¡°The nine ranks of the Martial Path are just a foundation. At this place, strength, cultivation and skills aren¡¯t important if you can¡¯t reach the next realm,¡± Lord Guanjun¡¯s voice sounded in the hall.


    The words seemed half understood and half weird to the youth¡¯s ears. Only a few were able to comprehend the meaning of Lord Guanjun¡¯s words.


    ¡°According to him, the nine ranks of the Martial Path are only a foundation¡­ at this stage, even if your strength is stronger than others, there¡¯s no point if you can¡¯t reach the next realm,¡± Zhao Feng understood something.


    He remembered one month ago when he had talked with Master Ye. Master Ye had said,¡°The nine ranks of the Martial Path train the body and bones and forms the foundation.¡±


    Now, Zhao Feng remembered this point, and he realized that the true aim of the nine ranks of the Martial Path wasn¡¯t about killing or skills.


    ¡°This youngster dare asks, if cultivation and strength aren¡¯t important at the nine ranks of the Martial Path, then what is?¡± Feng Hanyue stood up and asked respectfully. As he did so, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.


    The other nine Ten Sky Guards couldn¡¯t help but sweat too, and admire his courage.


    Lord Guanjun seemed to have a good impression of Feng Hanyue. ¡°Strength is secondary at this stage because the future is most important. A path that can lead you further!¡±


    Future. A path that can lead you further!


    Zhao Feng immediately understood. When one had reached the level of Lord Guanjun they had different views.


    Giving an example: A Martial Artist may be the strongest throughout his rank, but if he doesn¡¯t have the potential and can¡¯t break through to the seventh rank to become a Martial Master, then there¡¯s no point in him being the strongest in the sixth ranks. And thus, they won¡¯t be raised by their factions.


    This also meant that a glance of Lord Guanjun had seen the potential of the Ten Sky Guards, and he didn¡¯t look heavily at their current strength.


    Obviously, those who had better potential usually had higher cultivation, which was why he would choose a disciple from the Ten Sky Guards.


    ¡°Although I say this, you still need to be tested.¡± As Lord Guanjun said this, he took out a transparent crystal sphere about the size of a fist.


    This ball was made out of a unique material. Under his signal, Bei Moi took the crystal ball and gave it to the Ten Sky Guards.


    ¡°It¡¯s that thing!¡± Nan Gongfan felt his heart jump.


    That year he had came with Bei Moi to the Spiritual Martial Hall, Lord Guanjun had also taken this out.


    Lord Guanjun said, ¡°This is a special item in the world, as it can measure one¡¯s future potential. It can estimate your future potential to around ninety-nine percent.¡±


    Hearing this, the youths couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous.


    ¡°An item that can even measure someone¡¯s potential!¡± Zhao Feng was interested.


    Bei Moi handed the crystal ball to Feng Hanyue.


    ¡°Close your eyes and put your consciousness and Inner Strength into it,¡± Lord Guanjun told him.


    ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Feng Hanyue took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He then focused his energy into the crystal ball in his hand.


    _Weng~_


    Circles of white light appeared inside the ball. One circle, two circles, three circles¡­ five circles!


    The fifth circle had turned green, unlike the first four that were white.


    ¡°You¡¯ve surpassed the fourth circle, which means your potential exceeds that of a mortal body. Although it is ok, it¡¯s still not good enough to become my core disciple,¡± Lord Guanjun said.


    Hearing this Feng Hanyue¡¯s eyes dimmed. He had the highest cultivation in the Ten Sky Guards, but in Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes he was just so-so.


    Seeing Feng Hanyue¡¯s performance, the other geniuses felt even more nervous.


    Soon, it was Lei Cong¡¯s turn. Lei Cong took the crystal ball with a trembling hand, and he finally sank his consciousness into it.


    Circles of white light appeared in the inner parts of the ball.


    One circle, two circles, three circles, four circles!


    The white circles stopped at the fourth, a fifth didn¡¯t appear at all.


    ¡°Your potential has reached the limits of mortals, but it is still too far away from my target,¡± Lord Guanjun shook his head.


    _How could it be like this!?_


    Lei Cong¡¯s face was as black as charcoal, as if he had lost his soul.


    The evaluation he received was far worse than Feng Hanyue¡¯s. Feng Hanyue at least received an average evaluation.


    Next, it was Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s turn.


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn.¡± Lu Xiaoyu had a solemn look on as he put his consciousness into the ball. Inside the ball, three white circles appeared, then they spat out another half circle. Third and a half circles was a bit worse than Lei Cong.


    ¡°A genius within mortals, but it is not enough in the real world stage,¡± Lord Guanjun shook his head.


    Apart from Feng Hanyue, the other two didn¡¯t even reach Lord Guanjun¡¯s limits.


    ¡°The potential of Lu Xiaoyu and Lei Cong are top tier in Sun Feather City, but they are worthless here.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart clenched.


    He was also thinking what Lord Guanjun meant by the ''real world stage''. After Lu Xiaoyu, it was Zhao Yufei¡¯s turn.


    Zhao Yufei closed her eyes and held the crystal with her jade-like hands.


    _Weng~_


    Circles were released in the inner part of the crystal; three circles appeared, then five, then four, changing constantly. It was extremely unstable and the colors weren¡¯t white or green.


    ¡°Hm?¡±


    Lord Guanjun went into deep thought. Zhao Yufei¡¯s situation was different from the other youths.


    ¡°Could it be Yufei¡¯s potential is unique?¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    Lord Guanjun opened his mouth after some thought. ¡°Your potential is special, but it shouldn¡¯t surpass Feng Hanyue¡¯s.¡±


    Receiving such an evaluation, Zhao Yufei let out a breath.


    After Zhao Yufei finished it was the fifth Sky Guards turn, then the sixth, then the seventh¡­


    The youths after Yufei didn¡¯t even reach Lord Guanjun¡¯s bottom line.


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn.¡± Huang Qi took the crystal from Bei Moi with trembling hands.


    Soon, three and a half circles appeared within the crystal. His potential was on par with Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s and he was still top tier in the Ten Sky Guards, but he was nowhere near good enough for Lord Guanjun.


    Failed!


    Huang Qi was depressed; he was the top genius of Pearl Tree City and he wanted to show off his skills in Province City, but he couldn¡¯t even reach Lord Guanjun¡¯s minimum standard.


    It was Li Ziwen¡¯s turn after Huang Qi.


    Li Ziwen was the youth who was in Lu Xiaoyu¡¯s team during the mission.


    ¡°I¡­¡± Li Ziwen was extremely nervous and he wasn¡¯t able to calm down.


    _Pah!_


    Bei Moi slapped his back and Li Ziwen felt his blood cool down. But his testing was useless, he had only three circles.


    ¡°Next," Lord Guanjun said expressionlessly.


    Next?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. It was finally his turn. The last of the Ten Sky Guards was Zhao Feng.


    At this time, the gazes of everyone present turned to him. At this moment, Zhao Feng could feel Zhao Yufei¡¯s expectations and confidence. He could feel Third Guard and Ye Linyun¡¯s smiles.


    They had high hopes for Zhao Feng¡¯s potential as Zhao Feng had reached the seventh rank and he was one of the youngest amongst the Ten Sky Guards.


    Before that, Zhao Feng had gotten first in the kill mission and he had memory that surpassed even Bei Moi¡¯s.


    Bei Moi handed over the crystal ball to Zhao Feng with interest in his eyes. He had a deep impression of Zhao Feng as he was the only person who could beat him in terms of memorizing.


    He was slightly depressed after losing to Zhao Feng that day. Now he was going to see how strong Zhao Feng¡¯s potential was.


    ¡°Master, this is the youth who¡¯s memory is better than Bei Moi and the one who got first in the bandit clearing mission. Not only that, he¡¯s also the youngest one amongst the Ten Sky Guards,¡± Third Guard said in a low voice.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Curiosity and interest flashed in Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes.


    Under the gazes of everyone, Zhao Feng took the crystal and put his consciousness as well as his Inner Strength into it.


    _Weng~_ __


    The first circle immediately appeared.


    What¡¯s happening!?


    Zhao Feng heart jumped because he found that after the one circle appeared the next formed very slowly. Even when he fully put his consciousness into it, only one and a half circles were formed.


    Hm?


    The people watching stiffened. Zhao Feng¡¯s potential shouldn¡¯t be any weaker than Feng Hanyue¡¯s.


    Lord Guanjun was disappointed and he was about to say something.


    _Peh Peh! Peh Peh¡­_ __


    Zhao Feng suddenly heard a jumping sound from within the depths of his left eye that sent out sizzles of heat throughout his body.


    _Weng~_


    The white circles that had stopped moving suddenly moved forward again and reached two circles.


    After two circles was reached, the white circles kept on forming. Two circles¡­ three circles¡­three and a half circles¡­

 84 Mortal Spiritual Body

    Everyone¡¯s attention was on the crystal in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand. The circle suddenly condensed, then stopped again, then jumped again.


    The change made the hearts of those watching clench. Lord Guanjun immediately swallowed what he was going to say, the change had almost caused him to give a wrong evaluation. After all, this was his first time seeing something like this.


    Only Zhao Feng knew in his heart that his potential didn¡¯t exceed two circles.


    Two and a half circles ¡­three circles¡­three and a half circles¡­


    Under the heat of his left eye, the amount of circles reached three and a half and still kept condensing.


    Three and a half¡­four circles¡­four and half circles¡­


    Many of the people held their breaths. Four and a half circles was the best in the Ten Sky Guards, excluding Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei. Zhao Feng realized that five circles was a whole entire level, but after the fourth and a half circle was condensed progress slowed down. Suddenly, another pulse of heat was released from his left eye.


    Four circles and a half¡­five circles!


    A faint green color appeared as the fifth circle condensed. This was the limit that Zhao Feng could reach without using the powers of his left eye because he knew Lord Guanjun would be able to sense it.


    ¡°The fifth circle has appeared, but it¡¯s slightly weaker than Feng Hanyue¡¯s. It should be a half spiritual body,¡± Lord Guanjun¡¯s expression turned normal once again.


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng¡¯s potential was just below Feng Hanyue¡¯s and it didn¡¯t give him a surprise.


    ¡°Half spiritual body? Not good enough.¡± Bei Moi took the crystal with disappointment in his eyes. Obviously he had overestimated Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Master, which ones are you going to take?¡± Third Guard asked.


    ¡°None of them are good enough to be my core disciple.¡± Lord Guanjun shook his head.


    Up to now, the only one that pleased him was Bei Moi. Hearing this, the youths all turned bitter.


    ¡°But this generation of Sky Guards Battalion is indeed stronger than before. Some of them can become my outer disciples,¡± Lord Guanjun¡¯s words continued.


    Outer disciple?


    The eyes of Feng Hanyue and the others lit up.


    Although they were highly unlikely to become a core disciple, it was still achieving a dream to become his outer disciple. Lord Guanjun was a legend in the Cloud Country, even Martial Masters begged for pointers from him. If they could become his outer disciple, they would have the chance to receive teachings from him.


    Furthermore, Third Guard and Ye Linyun were only his outer disciples.


    ¡°Outer disciples? Which ones?¡± Ye Linyun asked.


    ¡°These two both have a Spiritual Body so they have no problems becoming my outer disciple.¡± Lord Guanjun looked at Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°How about Zhao Feng? He¡¯s the youngest here and he has a high cultivation, his memory is better than Bei Moi¡¯s, he also came first in the mission¡­¡± Ye Linyun quickly said.


    Zhao Feng was the genius he took from Sun Feather City, and he had high expectations for him.


    ¡°It¡¯ll be hard with his half-spiritual body¡­,¡± Lord Guanjun said after some thought.


    But seeing that both Third Guard and Ye Linyun seemed to praise him, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh. ¡°Oh well, let him be. Taking three disciples in at once breaks my record.¡±


    As Lord Guanjun decided, Ye Linyun and Third Guard smiled at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng also returned a grateful look.


    ¡°Master, you won¡¯t regret taking him in,¡± Ye Linyun said confidently.


    ¡°Oh?¡± Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t know where Ye Linyun¡¯s confidence came from.


    Ye Linyun didn¡¯t explain. He remembered the aura Zhao Feng that had released when performing his skills back at the Zhao family. It was something that most ninth ranks couldn¡¯t do and at that time, Zhao Feng was only at the fifth rank.


    ¡°Feng Hanyue, Zhao Yufei, Zhao Feng. From today onwards, you¡¯ll become outer disciples of Lord Guanjun,¡± Third Guard announced.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to be so formal since you¡¯re just outer disciples,¡± Lord Guanjun smiled faintly.


    His eyes scanned across Zhao Feng and the other two before resting on Bei Moi. It was only then that he give a true smile. Zhao Feng and the others understood that outer disciples would only occasionally receive pointers. Sometimes, outer disciples would not get anything at all.


    Lord Guanjun only had Bei Moi as a core disciple, and it was the latter that would be fully raised by him. After the Master-Disciple ceremony, the other seven Sky Guards left. Soon, there was only Lord Guanjun and his disciples left. Third Guard and Ye Linyun had their own assignments and also departed.


    Therefore, there was only Bei Moi, Nan Gongfan, Feng Hanyue, Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng remaining.


    ¡°You can all ask me a question since you¡¯ve become my disciples today,¡± Lord Guanjun told them.


    Questions?


    Feng Hanyue, Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng were excited. They obviously had many questions to ask this legendary figure.


    ¡°Master, what is a Spiritual Body?¡± The first person that spoke up was Feng Hanyue.


    Spiritual, Mortal Body. This was what Zhao Feng heard from Lord Guanjun before.


    ¡°There are hundreds of billions of people on this continent, and their potential is decided when they¡¯re born. Over ninety-nine percent of humans are normal and they have Mortal Bodies,¡± Lord Guanjun explained calmly.


    Zhao Feng understood what he meant. Most of the people in this world had Mortal Bodies. For example, before Zhao Feng merged with the eye, he had a hundred percent Mortal Body. But after the merging of the mysterious left eye, his blood and potential were all affected and he became a half Spiritual Body.


    ¡°The mortal body is split into different tiers: Low, Middle, High, and Limit. This means that there are also differences between Mortal Bodies. In the test, just one circle meant Low Tier Mortal Body, two meant Middle Tier Mortal Body¡­four circles meant Limit Tier Mortal Body,¡± Lord Guanjun continued.


    Zhao Feng had never heard anything like this before.


    ¡°The fifth circles means a Spiritual Body. People with Spiritual Bodies have an advantage compared to those with Mortal Bodies. Those geniuses will reach the Holy Martial Path in just a matter of time depending on how good their masters are," Lord Guanjun finally explained what Mortal and Spiritual Bodies meant.


    This increased Zhao Feng¡¯s knowledge. He estimated that Zhao Linlong was around three circles and a half, between the High Tier and Limit Tier of a Mortal Body.


    Next, Zhao Yufei asked Lord Guanjun a question. ¡°Master, are there realms above the Holy Martial Path?¡±


    Hearing this question, Zhao Feng showed interest as well. Back when he stayed in Sun Feather City, they only knew of the Martial Path; the Holy Martial Path was just a rumor. Facing Lord Guanjun Zhao, Feng thought that he had reached the Holy Martial Path.


    Then, were there realms above the Holy Martial Path?


    ¡°Yes.¡± A light flashed in Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes as he spoke solemnly, ¡°But this is a level you can¡¯t touch¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng and the other two felt their hearts move. There were realms above the Holy Martial Path!


    Soon, Zhao Feng asked a question. ¡°What is most important in the nine ranks of the Martial Path?¡±


    ¡°The body is the most important. The point of the Martial Path is to strengthen the blood, bones and organs. The true use of Inner Strength isn¡¯t to kill people, but to be used to strengthen one¡¯s own body. On this point, many cultivators have gone on the wrong path,¡± Lord Guanjun smiled.


    No wonder. Zhao Feng was now certain of his thoughts before.


    ¡°Master, what¡¯s your point in raising so many geniuses?¡± Zhao Feng asked the question that bugged him most.


    Ever since he had entered the Guanjun Palace, he heard others saying Lord Guanjun loved geniuses and he would send his men around the country to take them in. He and Zhao Yufei were found by the Guanjun Corps, and Ye Linyun had come personally to take them in.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s question made Lord Guanjun¡¯s body stiffen and a cold light shone in his eyes. In an instant, Zhao Feng and the others felt a pressure bear down upon them.


    Lord Guanjun had clearly not done anything, he didn¡¯t even release a bit of his aura, but the pressure from his mental energy caused the others to tremble. Luckily, this feeling only lasted an instant. Even then, cold sweat appeared on Feng Hanyue¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! This question has nothing to do with you! Master takes in geniuses because he loves them. Do you think that master has a purpose?¡± Nan Gongfan shouted with anger.

 85 Wish

    * * *


    ¡°Zhao Feng! This question has nothing to do with you! Master takes in geniuses because he loves them. Do you think that master has a purpose?¡± Nan Gongfan shouted with anger.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s question made Bei Moi and Feng Hanyue scrunch their eyebrows too. Indeed, Zhao Feng¡¯s question wasn¡¯t a question regarding cultivation. Zhao Feng also realised that this question seemed to go off track.


    ¡°This is the first time that someone has asked me a question like this.¡± Lord Guanjun¡¯s expression turned back to normal and he glanced at Zhao Feng.


    At his level, he obviously wouldn¡¯t get angry over such a thing.


    Master was indeed nice.


    Nan Gongfan and the others let out a breath. Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t seem to get angry.


    Through Zhao Feng¡¯s question, the others were all interested too. Feng Hanyue and Nan Gongfan were all smart, they knew that Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t go find geniuses just because he liked to, there was a purpose.


    Lord Guanjun slowly stood up with his hands behind his back and sighed as he stared out into the sky.


    Zhao Feng saw the change in helplessness, hate and expectations in Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes as he sighed. It seemed that when he sighed, Lord Guanjun had experienced the four seasons of a year.


    ¡°These years, I have been finding and raising geniuses for a wish of mine. It is something that I can¡¯t do myself, I need to rely on the younger generation to do.¡±


    Lord Guanjun then scanned the faces of the youths present and then he looked at Bei Moi with expectations and hope.


    A wish?


    Something that Lord Guanjun can¡¯t even do?


    The youths looked at each other, shocked. Everyone knew that Lord Guanjun had peak power in the Cloud Country. What was something that even he couldn¡¯t do?


    ¡°What is Lord Guanjun¡¯s wish?¡± Zhao Feng was even more and more curious.


    He didn¡¯t believe that Lord Guanjun couldn¡¯t do something.


    ¡°You may all leave.¡± Lord Guanjun sighed and signalled with his hand.


    Then, he sat back down on his futon leaving just his core disciple Bei Moi behind.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ll definitely complete your wish.¡± Bei Moi promised.


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you have the heart. From today onwards, I¡¯ll teach you all my secret skills¡­ ¡± Lord Guanjun smiled.


    Today, ten geniuses entered the Spiritual Martial Hall to test their potential. Without a doubt, Feng Hanyue¡¯s performance was indeed superb, but it was still incomparable to to Bei Moi.


    ¡­..


    Outside the Spiritual Martial Hall.


    The outer disciples of Lord Guanjun walked out together.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you¡¯ve got guts! How did you manage to ask a question like that? You need to understand that even martial masters of the ninth rank act humbly before Master.¡± Nan Gongfan said in a disciplining tone.


    ¡°Thank you for telling me.¡± Zhao Feng said.


    He had just become an outer disciple of Lord Guanjun and although he didn¡¯t want to offend Nan Gongfan, he wouldn¡¯t take his orders. Zhao Feng¡¯s performance made Nan Gongfan unhappy but he couldn¡¯t go into a fit right now, so he remembered it in his heart.


    It was Zhao Yufei who got some information out of Nan Gongfan¡¯s mouth.


    Nan Gongfan said: ¡°I need to warn you that Brother Bei Moi has superb talent. He¡¯s extremely arrogant and he doesn¡¯t allow others to beat him, so don¡¯t go challenging him.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the same as he heard this. When he had beaten Bei Moi in memorising, the latter was unhappy.


    ¡°May I have Brother Nan how good is Bei Moi¡¯s talent for Master to take him in as a core disciple?¡± Feng Hanyue had unfairness in his voice.


    Even though he was the top genius in the Sky Guards Battalion, he wasn¡¯t even close to becoming a core disciple.


    ¡°Haha, if you saw Bei Moi¡¯s potential back then, you wouldn¡¯t have said this.¡± Nan Gongfan laugh had bitterness and jealousy in it.


    ¡°How many circles were condensed when it was Bei Moi¡¯s turn?¡± Zhao Yufei asked curiously.


    They needed around five circles to become Lord Guanjun¡¯s outer disciple.


    ¡°At that time, my test result was five and a half circles¡­ ¡±


    Nan Gongfan seemed to remember the scene three years ago when he entered the Spiritual Martial Hall with Bei Moi.


    ¡°Five and a half? That¡¯s more than us.¡± The unfairness in Feng Hanyue¡¯s heart disappeared.


    ¡°However, compared with Brother Bei Moi¡¯s, mine was rubbish. His was¡­ Eight and a half!¡± Nan Gongfan took in a deep breath as jealousy, helplessness, and unwillingness appeared in his eyes.


    Eight and a half circles!


    Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei were dazed. Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook, eight and a half circles!


    Bei Moi¡¯s talent was a monster. No wonder Lord Guanjun looked at Bei Moi so importantly. At this moment, the geniuses finally realised the difference between Bei Moi and them.


    After leaving Spiritual Martial Hall Feng Hanyue, Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng returned to the Sky Guards Battalion.


    On the same day, they used their identities as disciples of Lord Guanjun to move into better accommodation in the Guanjun Palace.


    ¡°Congratulations to both of you for becoming Lord Guanjun¡¯s disciples. I hope that you won¡¯t forget me.¡± Huang Qi said sourly with an admiring look.


    At this moment, Huang Qi couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He remembered how he hadn¡¯t put the two in his eyes when they had first met, but now the two were far above him.


    After the two packed their stuff, they went to visit Third Guard.


    ¡°Now that we¡¯re all under the same Master, you can come to me if you need any help.¡± Third Guard gave a faint smile.


    ¡°Can I ask brother¡¯s name?¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know Third Guard¡¯s true name.


    ¡°Being a Guanjun Corp, Third Guard is my name now.¡± The overseer of the Sky Guards Battalion seemed as mysterious as ever.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei were slightly stunned and they left Third Guard after a while. After becoming a disciple of Lord Guanjun, the treatment they received was far better than most others within the Guanjun Palace.


    On the same day.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei both moved into a building of their own. The building that Zhao Feng moved into had two Martial Artists as guards.


    ¡°Greeting, Young master Zhao!¡± The two guards bowed.


    ¡°Greeting, Master.¡± Seven to eight servants stood there respectfully.


    The building was three stories high and it had a small garden.


    ¡°The treatment here exceeds even what the Elders of the Zhao sect get.¡±Zhao Feng clicked his tongue.


    If this was half a year ago, he would never have imagined that Martial Artists would be his guards. Just being the disciple of Lord Guanjun, he got thirty thousand silver and some free resources.


    After moving into his new house, Zhao Feng took a nice shower and he started to cultivate again. Returning Breath Technique was something that he never stopped training. After training, Returning Breath Technique for a bit, he then moved onto Silver Wall Technique. Silver Wall Technique was the only Holy martial art he had and it could increase his strength significantly.


    Zhao Feng remembered what Lord Guanjun had said at daytime: ¡°The point of the nine ranks of the Martial Path is to strengthen one¡¯s blood, bones and organs. The true purpose of Inner Strength isn¡¯t to kill but to strengthen one¡¯s body. On this point, many cultivators have gone on the wrong path.¡±


    It was easy to see that the true purpose of the martial path was to train one¡¯s body and foundation, which made Zhao Feng even more dedicated to training Silver Wall Technique.


    Once the Silver Wall Technique reached the tenth level, his body would exceed the limits of mortals and he won¡¯t even need to worry about the power released when trying to reach the Holy martial path.


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng focused on Silver Wall Technique , Returning Breath Technique and other skills such as Star Finger and Smoking Transparent Step. But the progress of Silver Wall Technique was just too slow after it broke through to the sixth rank.


    Not only that, Body Strengthening Techniques needed time and effort to slowly build up.


    ¡°Resources can speed up the progress of body strengthening techniques.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    He organised his items and he found that there was four hundred thousand silver in his pockets.


    Hm? That¡¯s heaps!


    Zhao Feng stood dazed for a second before remembering that all these items came from the bandits he slew, especially the seventh rank one. That person alone gave him two hundred to three hundred thousand silver.


    * * *

 86 Exchanging in Province City

    Zhao Feng suppressed his excitement as held his hundred of thousands in silver notes and left his building. He had never dreamed of having so much money. Back at the Zhao sect, his allowance was only twenty silver per month!


    _I can probably buy many resources to help my Silver Wall Technique¡­_ , Zhao Feng thought.


    Soon, he walked out of the Guanjun Palace, somewhere he hadn¡¯t been before. The size of the Province City far exceeded Sun Feather City. Cultivators and carriages could be seen everywhere.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even need to ask directions of the market, he went with the flow and arrived there. Hundreds of meters away, he saw a shop with the sign ¡®Medicine Pavilion¡¯ on it.


    ¡°The power behind Medicine Pavilion is indeed strong. They even have a shop in the Province City.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up with joy. He had gone to the Medicine Pavilion a few times back in Sun Feather City, and he knew the quality of goods they had there were high.


    ¡°Three Forest Moonlight Grass¡­Precious Snow Jade Marrow¡­Bone Connecting Pill¡­Final Seven Poisonous Snake Guts¡­ , Zhao Feng felt dizzy just looking at the variety of items.


    _Shua! Shua!_


    Zhao Feng opened his left eye and scanned all the items. In an instant, he had memorized all the names, appearances, and descriptions.


    The thousands of pills, medicines, and resources would take a Martial Learner years to memorize, but Zhao Feng only used a few breaths to seal them in his memory. He then closed his eyes and scanned through the items in his head to try to find what he needed.


    ¡°Is there anything you need?¡± A Martial Learner came over and asked respectfully. He had sensed that Zhao Feng¡¯s aura was much stronger than the others.


    ¡°En,¡± Zhao Feng replied. He immediately called out four items. ¡°Three packs of Bone Strengthening Powder, Three Blood Condensing Body Strengthening Pills, Three Chi Storage Pills,and one Sun Gathering Pill.¡±


    The Martial Learner trembled as he asked, ¡°Are¡­are you sure you want these?¡±


    ¡°Bone Strengthening powder, one of the best resources to help body strengthening techniques, costs around thirty-nine thousand silver per pack!¡± a nearby cultivator exclaimed.


    Zhao Feng had asked for three at once!


    ¡°Little friend, are you sure you¡¯re not kidding?¡± A middle aged pill master walked over and released his sixth rank aura.


    ¡°Mao Pill Master!¡± The nearby pill makers and Martial Learners looked at him respectfully.


    Immediately, the situation here caught the attention of many others.


    ¡°Kidding? I don¡¯t have such a habit,¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    Mao Pill Master walked over and calmly said, ¡°Friend, these precious items add up to a total of forty thousand silver. Are you sure you can afford it?¡± It was obvious that Mao Pill Master didn¡¯t believe that Zhao Feng had that much silver.


    Forty thousand silver!


    The nearby customers took in cold breaths and sighed. They wouldn¡¯t have thought that the few items a fourteen year old youth called out would cost forty thousand silver.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Feng stared back at the pill master.


    Hmph!


    Anger appeared on Mao Pill Master¡¯s face, because if Zhao Feng was actually buying it, the high level of the Medicine Pavilion would appear.


    Although Mao Pill Master didn¡¯t shout, his sixth rank aura expanded.


    ¡°Do you think that I don¡¯t have the right to do so?¡± Zhao Feng asked coldly as he released a ferocious Inner Strength.


    Instantly, the air seemed to freeze and the customers nearby had a feeling of being suffocated. Mao Pill Master stiffened and could feel that his Inner Strength had been suppressed. Luckily, the aura lasted for only a second before fading away. Apart from the nearby seven or eight people, no one else felt it.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± A pill learner didn¡¯t even know what had happened.


    Cold sweat appeared on Mao Pill Masters back. ¡°Please follow me to the second floor.¡±


    According to the rules of Medicine Pavilion, if twenty thousand silver worth of goods were to be exchanged, they had to go to the second floor.


    The change in attitude by Mao Pill Master made some people curious, but there were a few that had felt the powerful aura that came and went in an instant.


    ¡°Martial¡­Martial master¡­¡± a cultivator of the fifth rank mumbled bitterly to himself.


    But because his voice was too soft, no one else heard him. Those that knew the truth felt shocked, as if they had lost their souls. Mao Pill Master looked deeply at Zhao Feng, then raised his hand. He had never seen such a young Martial Master before. Once one became a Martial Master, they would be looked up in awe by Martial Learners and Martial Artists.


    Martial Masters weren¡¯t just symbols of power, they were symbols of status as well. But this youth of only fourteen years old had already reached this level!


    ¡°No need, I¡¯m busy. Just trade here,¡± Zhao Feng shook his head.


    This immediately made Mao Pill Master slightly awkward, but he couldn¡¯t go against it, so he had to exchange right there.


    ¡°Bone Strengthening Powder, thirty nine thousand a pack, three packs equals one hundred seventeen thousand silver; Blood Condensing Pills one pill thirty-two thousand silver, three pills ninety-six thousand silver; Chi Storage Pills one pill forty-four thousand silver, two pills eighty-eight thousand silver; Sun Gathering pill eighty thousand silver each¡­it all comes to a total of three hundred and eighty-one thousand silver!¡± Mao Pill Master announced.


    Three hundred and eighty one thousand silver!


    The nearby customers took in cold breaths. One had to know that one whole deadly beast was only worth thirty thousand silver, and they had to risk their lives and go into the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest to hunt one!


    Even Martial Masters wouldn¡¯t dare to enter the true depths of the Sky Cloud Forest.


    ¡°Here¡¯s the silver.¡± Zhao Feng took a thick pile of silver notes out and put them on top of the counter.


    ¡°The number¡¯s correct.¡± Mao Pill Master could confirm if it was legal tender or not by looking for the stamp of the thirteen country pact. The thirteen country pact included the Cloud Country and the Maple Fire country. This pact was also called the Sky Cloud Thirteen Country Pact and they all used the same currencies for easier trading.


    Soon, Mao Pill Master and two others went to grab what Zhao Feng wanted.


    ¡°Bone Strengthening Powder, three packs; Blood Condensing Pills, three; Chi Storage Pills, two; Sun Gathering Pill, one,¡± Zhao Feng confirmed everything was there.


    ¡°This youth can take out such a wad of cash.¡± The eyes of a few cultivators in the Medicine Pavilion twinkled. Two of them even followed him with grim faces. They didn¡¯t know Zhao Feng¡¯s true cultivation.


    ¡°Mao Pill Master, that customer¡­ ¡± A Pill Learner saw that something was wrong.


    ¡°The customer¡¯s safety outside of the Medicine Pavilion has nothing to do with us. Apart from that, this customer¡¯s cultivation and background¡­¡± Mao Pill Master didn¡¯t worry for Zhao Feng. A fourteen year old Martial Master must have a strong background.


    As soon as Zhao Feng walked out of the pavilion, he sensed two people following him. He gave a cold laugh, but he didn¡¯t bother with them.


    Being the disciple of Lord Guanjun, he could do almost anything he liked in the Guanjun Province because his master was the overlord here.


    ¡°Young master.¡± As soon as Zhao Feng entered the Guanjun Palace, the head guard of the sixth rank came over and greeted him. Eight Martial Artists, including the head guard, stood respectfully.


    Maybe the normal guards weren¡¯t aware of Zhao Feng¡¯s background, but the head guard had some connections, and he knew Zhao Feng¡¯s identity.


    ¡°Guanjun Palace!¡± The two following behind him jumped.


    _Teng! Teng!_ __


    Their footsteps immediately stopped. They despaired even more when they saw the head guard greet Zhao Feng respectfully¡­


    Guanjun Palace.


    This gigantic city controlled twelve other cities and those that could be called Young Master must have connections with ''that person''¡­


    Thinking up to here, cold sweat appeared on the two Martial Artists. Just a step further, and they would¡¯ve been in hell!

 87 Training

    _Guanjun Palace..._


    Zhao Feng returned back to his house and made the servant get a bathtub of hot water ready, so he could put his Bone Strengthening Powder in. This Bone Strengthening Powder was similar to the other powder he had used before, it was just hundreds of times better.


    _I heard that the Bone Strengthening Powder has extremely good effects for body strengthening techniques. I wonder if it¡¯ll be of use for my Silver Wall Technique._ Zhao Feng started to soak in the medicine water.


    The boiling hot water could easily burn through the skin of normal people, but it had no effect on Zhao Feng¡¯s strong body.


    _Gulugulu!_


    The water suddenly started bubbling and it turned into a purple-red color like a flower blossoming. Zhao Feng felt a searing pain come from his body, and it slowly seeped into his blood and marrow.


    ¡°What a powerful medicine!¡±


    Cold sweat appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead, but he managed not to scream. According to what it said on the Bone Strengthening Powder¡¯s packet, normal seventh ranks needed to split one packet in half and use them separately. Zhao Feng was confident that his Silver Wall Technique was a top tier body strengthening technique and so he used a whole packet instead.


    He didn¡¯t know that his body had been changed by the mysterious eye, and that he could absorb more of the medicine at once.


    _Peh Peh! Peh Peh!_


    Zhao Feng felt sizzles of heat being released from his left eye, which cooled his whole body down and allowed him to absorb the medicine at a faster rate.


    The amount and speed at which he absorbed the powder was at least twice the speed of others, which was why he felt that the medicine was extremely powerful and pure.


    For a few hours, Zhao Feng suppressed pain which would make a normal person faint.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng finally adjusted to the pain. At this time, he slowly circulated Returning Breath Technique, which helped him absorb the medicine more evenly.


    One whole day and night later, Zhao Feng was finally able to take in all of the medicine, but there were still some remnants inside his body.


    ¡°No wonder it¡¯s a precious body strengthening item¡­"


    Zhao Feng felt that the increase in Silver Wall Technique was very obvious. Before, Silver Wall Technique had just stopped progressing when it had reached the sixth level.


    This was exactly just like what Third Guard had said, Holy body strengthening techniques were easy to learn, but as they progressed, it got harder.


    It was good for Zhao Feng that his body had undergone a change by merging with the mysterious left eye, which increased the rate medicine was absorbed at.


    After using one packet of Bone Strengthening powder, Zhao Feng thought about the other resources that he had at hand: a Sun Gathering Pill, three Blood Condensing Pills, and two Chi Storage Pills.


    The Blood Condensing Pill also helped improve the body. He remembered what Lord Guanjun had said deeply, that the nine ranks of the martial path focused on the body.


    The use of Chi Storage Pills was to purify one¡¯s Inner Strength, and he bought them for his Returning Breath Technique. The last Sun Gathering Pill cost eighty thousand silver and it could increase the cultivation of men who trained the Yang laws.


    Body, Inner Strength, Cultivation. The four items Zhao Feng had bought were focused on all three, with the first being the most important.


    Next, Zhao Feng ate a Blood Condensing Pill, which could strengthen the body. This pill also took Zhao Feng over two days to fully absorb.


    After taking in this pill, Zhao Feng felt both his body and Silver Wall Technique increase in power.


    According to his plan, the next ones he was going to eat were the Chi Storage Pills. Because his body foundation was extremely strong, Zhao Feng felt his Inner Strength increase by leaps and bounds. This made him fully aware of the fact that the foundation must be solid.


    For the next half a month, Zhao Feng concentrated solely on Silver Wall Technique and Returning Breath Technique.


    The three packets of Bone Strengthening Powder, the three Blood Condensing Pills, and the two Chi Storage Pills had all been used up.


    At this time, his Silver Wall Technique had reached the late stages of the sixth level. At this level, Zhao Feng¡¯s body was as strong as silver and when he activated Silver Wall Technique, a faint silver glow would appear on his body as if he was an invulnerable statue.


    _Even if I don¡¯t use Inner Strength, I can face normal seventh ranks with no problems_ , Zhao Feng thought.


    This was only at the sixth level of the Technique. If he reached the seventh, he could wipe out almost any Martial Master of the seventh rank unless the opponent had also learned a Holy martial art.


    Next, Zhao Feng was going to eat the Sun Gathering Pill.


    Zhao Feng left this until last because he wanted to strengthen his foundation, which would help him absorb it better.


    Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng ate the Sun Gathering Pill. After reaching the seventh rank, the progress of Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had slowed down. Immediately, Zhao Feng felt a surge of hotness spread throughout his body.


    The energy of this pill needed to be slowly released and absorbed. Zhao Feng took more then seven days with Returning Breath Technique circulating nonstop to take in all the energy.


    ***********************


    _Eight days later..._


    Zhao Feng had absorbed almost all of the energy of the Sun Gathering Pill. At this time, the green light in the dimension of his left eye had reached 2.5 meters.


    A month of hard work had not let Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation reach peak seventh rank.


    _I can¡¯t believe that Bei Moi¡¯s almost at the ninth rank since cultivation slows down so much after the seventh_ , Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    It was good that his Silver Wall Technique had reached the peak sixth rank, and it set a solid foundation for him, which gave him confidence that he could reach the eighth rank in three months time.


    _Hu!_


    Zhao Feng could feel the power within him as he breathed in and out. The quality and quantity of his Inner Strength had increased dramatically.


    _No seventh ranks should be my opponent now. I might even to be able to take on some normal eighth ranks, but there¡¯s no chance of winning if I meet a monster like Bei Moi!_ , Zhao Feng estimated his strength.


    He could challenge those of the eighth rank, and he might even have a chance at winning if they were normal cultivators of the eighth rank. If they were prodigies like Nan Gongfan or Bei Moi, they would have at least half-Holy ranked martial arts. He could not beat them, as the latter also had the strength to challenge those of higher ranks. Bei Moi had already killed a cultivator of the ninth rank.


    *****************


    Zhao Feng finally came out of secluded mediation after a month.


    At this time a servant reported to him, ¡°Young master, while you were in secluded meditation, Lady Zhao Yufei and Young Master Feng Hanyue both came to find you.¡±


    _Oh?_


    Zhao Feng stretched his body while walking out of his house slowly. Feng Hanyue¡¯s house and Zhao Yufei¡¯s houses were not far away.


    Soon, the three met together.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, it seems that you¡¯ve improved quite a bit in one month,¡± Feng Hanyue gave a faint smile and he was slightly curious.


    ¡°Still not good enough compared with Brother Feng.¡±


    Zhao Feng found that Feng Hanyue had almost reached the limit of the seventh rank, not tarnishing the name of the top genius of the Ten Sky Guards.


    Zhao Yufei had increased by leaps and bounds as well, reaching the seventh rank.


    Today, the three youths discussed their skills and the others wanted to spar. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t reject this notion either and sparred with the two.


    The final result was that Zhao Feng fought Feng Hanyue to a standstill, while Zhao Yufei lost by a bit.


    Throughout the sparring, Zhao Feng used only sixty to seventy percent power of his Silver Wall Technique and he slightly conserved the power of his other skills such as Star Finger and Smoking Transparent Step.


    Even then, Zhao Feng was surprised at Feng Hanyue¡¯s strength as the latter may have hidden his strength, too. But the one who was most shocked was Feng Hanyue; he wouldn¡¯t have thought that after just one month, Zhao Feng would be able to fight on par with him.


    While they were sparring, Zhao Feng realized that both Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei had trained in a few half-Holy ranked martial arts as well.


    ¡°Being disciples of Lord Guanjun, we can go to the Treasury Hall and choose a total of ten half-Holy martial arts,¡± Feng Hanyue told him.


    This news made Zhao Feng jump with joy. No wonder Third Guard and Bei Moi didn¡¯t seem to put half-Holy martial arts in their eyes.


    The advantage they gained by being a disciple of Lord Guanjun was just too big. Zhao Feng decided to go to the Treasury Hall when he had time.


    ¡°Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that Nan Gongfan invited us to spar with each other in three days, and Bei Moi will be there as well¡­,¡± Feng Hanyue said.

 88 Sparring, Part 1

    Zhao Feng was looking forward to the sparring because he didn¡¯t know how strong the others were. There were still two to three days left until then and before this, Zhao Feng needed to go to the Treasury Hall.


    The Treasury Hall held many books, including tomes on history, medicine and martial arts. The books here were very rare. But being the disciple of Lord Guanjun. Zhao Feng could read them anytime he wanted.


    Zhao Feng went to the martial arts section where the highest ranking books reached the half-Holy rank. Half-Holy ranks were quite rare even for Martial Masters. If one didn¡¯t prove their worth, they had no right to receive them. However, Zhao Feng could come here and read any of them, but he could only take out ten books. Using his left eye, Zhao Feng quickly read all the books he was interested in.


    Up to now, all his martial arts were technically half-Holy martial arts. The skills that Zhao Feng got from Bei Moi and Third Guard were all top tier half-Holy martial arts, especially Returning Breath Technique. It was almost a Holy martial art.


    ¡°It looks like I don¡¯t need to choose another half Holy martial art now,¡± Zhao Feng concluded.


    If there was a problem, it would be Star Finger. But if it was merged with Partial Wind Stance, it would be extremely powerful, and he didn¡¯t want to spend too much time to focus on another offensive skill. Zhao Feng would rather spend more of his energy on the four Wind Stances: Flowing Wind Stance, Tornado Stance, Partial Wind Stance, and Burning Wind Stance.


    Now that Zhao Feng had almost fully comprehended Flowing Wind Stance, he moved onto Tornado Stance.


    Ever since he saw the Holy martial arts, he faintly realized that these four Wind Stances weren¡¯t normal. Just an incomplete stance had a lot of power.


    Inside the dimension of his left eye, Zhao Feng could open the memories of many scenes, including the four Wind Stances and the Mysterious Wind Palm. Zhao Feng found that the two complemented each other and were similar in many ways. He then took out all the skills that he thought were interesting and copied them into his mind to expand his knowledge.


    After that, he then moved onto the history and geography section. Since he was born in a weak branch clan, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have much knowledge of the outside world. The geography and history were limited to the Sky Cloud Thirteen Countries.


    ¡°The Sky Cloud Forest is huge¡­it extends into over thirteen countries¡­,¡± Zhao Feng was slightly stunned.


    Just as the name said, the Thirteen Countries had a pact to team up to face the enemy. What kind of enemy would need thirteen countries to team up? Zhao Feng quickly browsed through the history books.


    ¡°For the past thousand years, the thirteen countries have been caught between two strong countries: Sky Rich country and Metal Blood country. The two countries have been at war for millennia and if either of them wins, it means the destruction of the thirteen countries¡­¡± Zhao Feng was shocked when he saw this.


    A long time ago, he thought Sun Feather City was already huge and that the Cloud Country was just a dream. But now the thirteen countries, including the Cloud Country, struggled to survive in the shadow of the two strong countries.


    Once the balance between the two were broken, the thirteen country pact would be destroyed.


    ¡°Hmm? Northern Continent?¡±


    Zhao Feng found that the geography book said that the two strong countries were just one of many in the Northern Continent. For the next half day, Zhao Feng digested the information he read. But somehow, just somehow, he felt that the book had only touched a corner of a mountain.


    *******************


    Three days passed in a blink of an eye.


    That morning, Feng Hanyue, Zhao Yufei, and Zhao Feng all came to Nan Gongfan¡¯s house. Lord Guanjun actually had dozens of outer disciples, but no more then six of them were of the same generation including Nan Gongfan, Feng Hanyue, Zhao Feng, and Zhao Yufei. Apart from them, there was a youth called Yang Qingshan around sixteen to seventeen years old, who was at the eighth rank.


    ¡°Haha! Brother Nan Gongfan, aren¡¯t you going to introduce these new faces to me?¡± Yang Qingshan shouted loudly and seemed very enthusiastic.


    Nan Gongfan felt a headache coming as he introduced the three to Yang Qingshan.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t that kiddo Bei Moi here? This guy is training the Rippling Skill, I hope he goes insane¡­hahaha¡­,¡± Yang Qingshan laughed.


    Those around the same age were all here except Bei Moi.


    In that time, Yang Qingshan¡¯s mouth never stopped. Nan Gongfan felt helpless, but Yang Qingshan was stronger than him.


    ¡°He¡¯s here!¡± Yang Qingshan exclaimed.


    An expressionless youth walked in, it was Bei Moi.


    ¡°Brother Bei, you¡¯re finally here.¡± Nan Gongfan let out a breath.


    Bei Moi glanced at the others, then sat down and started cultivating again. While Zhao Feng and the other two were confused, Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan all acted if this was normal.


    The disciples all discussed what they had learned and sometimes, they showed off their skills. In the midst of this, it was mainly Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan talking, while the other three chipped in once in awhile. As for Bei Moi, he was like a block of wood who just sat there and cultivated.


    Soon, the youths decided to spar.


    ¡°Who want¡¯s to play with me?¡± Yang Qingshan said enthusiastically.


    ¡°I will!¡±


    Feng Hanyue walked out and faced Yang Qingshan and the latter suppressed himself to the peak seventh rank.


    The two figures clashed in a small area.


    Mountain Striking Stance!


    Yang Qingshan suddenly used a Holy martial art and thrust a palm out, causing the air to ripple.


    ¡°Heavenly Illusion Stance!¡±


    Feng Hanyue used his incomplete Holy martial art and instantly, his figure became like the moon, blurry and fast, but he was still pressured by Yang Qingshan.


    Around twenty moves later, Feng Hanyue was sweating and this was with Yang Qingshan suppressing his cultivation.


    After that, Zhao Yufei went up and exchanged a few moves with Yang Qingshan, with the latter suppressing his cultivation to her level as well.


    Although Zhao Yufei performed better than expected, she still lost thirty or so moves later.


    _Yang Qingshan has trained many half-Holy martial arts to a high level and he seems to also have complete Holy martial arts as well_ , Zhao Feng observed thoughtfully.


    After Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei lost, it was Zhao Feng¡¯s turn.


    _It¡¯s my turn?,_ Zhao Feng stood up.


    ¡°Hehe, let me go!¡± A smile appeared on Nan Gongfan¡¯s lips as he took Yang Qingshan¡¯s place.


    Yang Qingshan felt slightly curious. Why would Nan Gongfan come out and face Zhao Feng? But he didn¡¯t decline him and gave the spot to Nan Gongfan.


    Zhao Feng knew that his words had displeased Nan Gongfan last time when they were leaving the Spiritual Martial Hall.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, relax, I¡¯ll suppress my cultivation to the seventh rank, the same as you,¡± Nan Gongfan said righteously.


    _Shua!_


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with any words and he instantly appeared behind Nan Gongfan. The entire process was in complete silence.


    So fast!


    Zhao Yufei and Feng Hanyue were surprised. Zhao Feng had used Smoking Transparent Step, whose specialty was silence.


    Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng immediately used his Star Finger of the peak fourth level, which spat out a line of azure light.


    ¡°Not bad!¡± Nan Gongfan smiled and casually waved his sleeve which easily minced up Zhao Feng¡¯s attack.


    So casual!


    Zhao Feng was solemn, the opponent had probably trained a Holy martial art which could instantly destroy his Star Finger.


    After resolving the attack, Nan Gongfan then pushed out his palm and sent circles of white air at Zhao Feng. The latter wanted to dodge, but he felt a force stopping him.


    In the center, Nan Gongfan sucked in all the dirt, leaves, and branches.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, Brother Nan Gongfan¡¯s Godly Suction Force seemed to improve again,¡± Yang Qingshan laughed.


    One Line Star Finger.


    Zhao Feng pushed forwards instead of retreating and using the pulling force, he immediately used the killing move of Star Finger.


    _Tong! Tong! Tong¡­_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s finger was repeatedly stabbed out and it sent rays of beautiful azure light.


    ¡°The power is indeed strong, but has no effect against me,¡± Nan Gongfan laughed as he stood on the same place and swiped his hands.


    _Hu~ Hu~_ __


    Layers of white air waves started to spin around Nan Gongfan¡¯s body. When Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks reached him, the power would decrease and finally fade away.


    Just as Zhao Feng was able to sink into a dangerous situation-


    Flowing Wind Stance!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure suddenly merged into the layers of white air and he seemed to be one with it.


    One Line Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks seemed to rely on the wind.


    ¡°This brat can resolve my Holy martial art!¡± Nan Gongfan¡¯s expression finally changed.

 89 Sparring, Part Two

    Zhao Feng¡¯s performance also stunned Feng Hanyue, Zhao Yufei, and Yang Qingshan.


    ¡°This kid isn¡¯t simple, to be able to attack within the radius of Brother Nan Gongfan¡¯s Godly Suction Force," Yang Qingshan laughed loudly.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was like the wind and sent beams of meteors forwards. Flowing Wind Stance made his speed and offensive both improve dramatically.


    Nan Gongfan¡¯s Godly Suction Force used Inner Strength to control the wind and create a tornado, but Zhao Feng used his Flowing Wind Stance to resolve this and it caused Nan Gongfan¡¯s confidence to dim slightly.


    Being under the same master, he wanted to teach Zhao Feng a lesson, but he didn¡¯t expect the opponent to be so troublesome.


    ¡°Whirlpool Tornado!¡±


    Nan Gongfan exclaimed as the original tornado suddenly became frenzied and pushed out in every direction. The force in the wind could easily shatter a house into pieces.


    What a terrifying move!


    Zhao Feng felt his chest get crushed and the wind tear towards his clothes.


    ¡°Is this the power of a Holy martial art?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye squinted as he tried to sense the change in Inner Strength of Nan Gongfan. His Silver Wall Technique of the peak sixth level stood solid against the destructive air wave.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye found the pattern and profoundness behind Nan Gongfan¡¯s moves and he found that it was similar to his Tornado Wind Stance.


    He then opened the ability of his left eye and copied this scene into his mind.


    _Shua!_


    Instantly, a scene of Nan Gongfan using his Whirlpool Tornado appeared in the dimension of his left eye. Inside the dimension, the scene could be played out tens of times slower and it could be viewed from different angles.


    Soon, Zhao Feng found that the inner workings of this skill were similar to the Tornado Stance.


    ¡°Fifth move ¨C Star Finger!¡±


    Zhao Feng moved with the wind and he sent out a piercing finger which left dots of green light behind. In an instant, the damage of Star Finger had increased dramatially.


    Fifth level of Star Finger!


    Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei were both shocked. Star Finger was famous in the Cloud Country for being hard to train and having major risks.


    This skill had a total of seven levels. If one reached the fourth, they could release their Inner Strength out of the body without even reaching the seventh rank. When it was trained to the fifth level, the attacks would be like a meteor, fast and beautiful. What made it even more terrifying was that Zhao Feng could see the flaws in Nan Gongfan¡¯s Godly Suction Force and so he aimed there.


    ¡°How did this guy make it happen¡­?¡± Nan Gongfan¡¯s expression finally changed as he quickly exploded his layers of wind.


    _Boom¡ª-_ __


    A three meter hole was made where the two exchanged blows. At a certain point, Nan Gongfan¡¯s cultivation had exceeded the limit of the seventh rank.


    _Teng!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure landed on the ground unharmed. Because his Silver Wall Technique had reached the peak sixth level, he could take almost any hit from Nan Gongfan head on if the latter suppressed his cultivation below the eighth rank.


    ¡°Thanks,¡± Zhao Feng smiled as he returned back to his seat in silence.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng! We haven¡¯t finished yet.¡± Nan Gongfan was slightly angry.


    ¡°I mean seriously. Brother Nan Gongfan, your cultivation just exceeded Brother Zhao Feng¡¯s then. As an older brother, you shouldn¡¯t use higher cultivation to beat him, right?¡± Yang Qingshan¡¯s voice sounded.


    It was obvious that if the two were both at the same cultivation and rank, Nan Gongfan couldn¡¯t beat Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I underestimated him. Next time, I will spar seriously with Brother Zhao,¡± Nan Gongfan said as he returned to his seat.


    _Spar seriously?_ __


    Zhao Feng took in the meaning of these two words. If they sparred seriously, it would mean that Nan Gongfan wanted to use his eighth rank cultivation.


    Within the room, the disciples didn¡¯t know that the sparring had not gone unnoticed.


    ¡°Brother Ye, this Zhao Feng is better than expected. His Silver Wall Technique has reached the peak sixth level and a troublesome skill such as Star Finger has also reached the fifth level. Not only that, he seems to have insights into a Holy martial art¡­," Third Guard was slightly surprised.


    ¡°Haven¡¯t you thought about who brought him here?¡± Ye Linyun said confidently.


    The two had seen the battle between Zhao Feng and Nan Gongfan. Zhao Feng¡¯s performance was better than expected.


    ¡°Hm, not bad. It looks like my eyes failed me this time,¡± a voice sounded in the two¡¯s ears.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Third Guard and Ye Linyun nodded their heads instinctively.


    Ah! Wait! No¡­


    The next instant, the two jumped up and exclaimed, ¡°Master!¡±


    Turning around, there was not a single figure around. But Lord Guanjun¡¯s voice definitely sounded in their ears.


    The two scanned their surroundings and they found Lord Guanjun sitting cross legged on a tree a couple hundred of meters away. His aura seemed to be one with the tree, and without paying close attention, it was easy to miss him.


    The sparring between the disciples had not only gone into Third Guard and Ye Linyun¡¯s ears, it had also reached Lord Guanjun.


    But thinking about it, it was pretty logical as Guanjun Palace was the domain of Lord Guanjun. Everything that went on here wouldn¡¯t escape his mind and these people were his disciples.


    ¡°Master¡¯s taking this sparring so seriously.¡± Third Guard and Ye Linyun glanced at each other and saw the shock in each other¡¯s eyes.


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes focused on Bei Moi more. Each and every one of them performed well, with Zhao Feng giving a little surprise. But obviously, Lord Guanjun cared about his core disciple, Bei Moi, the most.


    ¡°Bei Moi, we haven¡¯t fought in a long time,¡± Yang Qingshan suggested.


    In terms of strength, Yang Qingshan was slightly stronger than Nan Gongfan and he was placed behind Bei Moi.


    Zhao Feng and the others had interested looks too. Bei Moi was a monster in their eyes.


    ¡°Solo combat, too boring.¡± Bei Moi stood up and didn¡¯t reject the notion of fighting.


    ¡°You mean¡­"


    The eyebrows of both Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan twitched. Zhao Feng faintly knew what Bei Moi was getting at.


    ¡°All five of you can come at once.¡± Bei Moi¡¯s voice was calm, as if he was just saying a trivial thing.


    _What! All at once?_ __


    The youths present were all shocked. At the same time, expressions of anger appeared on Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan¡¯s faces.


    ¡°What? Are you too afraid?¡± Bei Moi walked slowly in between the five people.


    ¡°Fine!¡± Feng Hanyue walked into the battle circle. Immediately, Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan followed and surrounded Bei Moi. Because Zhao Feng and the other two had lower cultivation, they stood a bit further away.


    The atmosphere was extremely tense.


    Bei Moi had reached the peak eighth rank, while the other side had two eighth ranks and three seventh ranks.


    _Is he being too arrogant?_ , Zhao Feng thought.


    At this moment, Third Guard and Ye Linyun held their breaths as they focused on the battle.


    ¡°Godly Suction Force!¡±


    Nan Gongfan led the attack and thrust out a palm of white air circles towards Bei Moi.


    _Hu~_


    A deadly pulling force immediately appeared on Bei Moi¡¯s body, but the latter stood as still as a rock. It was like his two feet were lodged deeply into the ground.


    ¡°Avalanche!¡± Yang Qingshan exclaimed as he send a powerful palm towards Bei Moi.


    He and Nan Gongfan were the main attacks, while the other three were the supporters.


    Star Finger!


    Illusion of the Broken Moon!


    Dance of a Thousand Leaves!


    Zhao Feng, Feng Hanyue, and Zhao Yufei attacked from the side. Of the three, Zhao Feng¡¯s move could threaten eight rank, while the attacks of the other two were almost able to.


    Immediately, a barrage of attacks went towards Bei Moi.


    ¡°Good! Ripple of Destruction¡­"


    Bei Moi stood still and suddenly opened his arms. As he did so, ripples of Inner Strength swept towards his surroundings.


    _Craaaack¡­boom¡­_


    The attacks of Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan were immediately dissolved, and another ripple sent them flying.


    "Wah!" Nan Gongfan immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, while Yang Qingshan turned pale and sustained internal injuries.


    _Baam¡­baam¡­baam¡­_


    Another ripple immediately dissolved Zhao Yufei, Feng Hanyue, and Zhao Feng attacks and it sent the first two flying.


    _Shua~_ __


    The remaining energy sent up a layer of dust, which blocked the scene¡­

 90 Beast Horde

    _Cough-cough!_


    The dust even blew into Third Guard and Ye Linyun¡¯s faces. The two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other¡¯s eyes.


    The power of the six great prodigies was on the same level as cultivators of the ninth rank. At this moment, a smile appeared on Lord Guanjun¡¯s face as he stared at the dust zone.


    At the center of the dust wave, Bei Moi stood there with his feet sunk a centimeter into the ground, everything within sight destroyed.


    Around him, there were a few pale-faced youths, Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan receiving internal injuries. On the other side, Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei had been slightly injured, too. There was only one exception. In the outer edges of the dust zone, there was one person standing there uninjured with a solemn expression.


    _This guy¡¯s strength is stronger than most cultivators of the ninth rank¡­_ , Zhao Feng stared at Bei Moi.


    Ever since he had entered the main Zhao family and the Province City, he had never met a genius so talented. Maybe only Xin Wuheng would be able to fight with him.


    As the dust settled, the situation was seen.


    Bei Moi stood expressionlessly and said casually, ¡°I only used sixty percent of my strength just then.¡±


    Sixty percent! The geniuses present wanted to say something, but nothing came out.


    Was this his true strength?


    A bitter smile appeared on Feng Hanyue¡¯s face, he had finally realized why Bei Moi could become Lord Guanjun¡¯s one and only core disciple, whereas he could only become an outer disciple. He hadn¡¯t realized that the difference between them was so large.


    ¡°In just a month''s time, Brother Bei Moi¡¯s strength is almost the same as mine now,¡± Ye Linyun sighed.


    In the building, the bunch of youths opened their mouths, but nothing came out.


    Dead silence.


    On the tree far away, a smile appeared on Lord Guanjun¡¯s face. ¡°Soon, it will be time¡­¡±


    ¡°Aye, Brother Bei Moi, you¡¯re too strong.¡± Yang Qingshan said helplessly while jealously flashed in Nan Gongfan¡¯s eyes.


    It was only Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei who were calm, because the difference in cultivation between them was large.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng,¡± Bei Moi turned to face Zhao Feng suddenly.


    _Hmm?,_ Zhao Feng stiffened, what was it? The gazes of the youths landed on him.


    ¡°Did you fire that finger just then?¡± Bei Moi stared at him and waved his sleeve.


    The youths squinted and saw that there was a tiny hole on Bei Moi¡¯s sleeve. Obviously, this was just limited to Bei Moi¡¯s sleeve. His arm didn¡¯t have a mark on it.


    How did he do it?


    Even then the others were surprised. When they had exchanged moves, Bei Moi had used a wide range attack that had even reduced Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan¡¯s attacks to nothing before they even got close to him.


    Under their shocked gazes, Zhao Feng gave a faint smile, ¡°Maybe I was just lucky.¡±


    Lucky? Suspicion rose in Yang Qingshan¡¯s eyes. Only Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t injured. Not only that, his finger attack had pierced through the flaw on Bei Moi¡¯s move and left a tiny hole there.


    If he accomplished only one of them, then it might¡¯ve been luck. But if the two points were added together, the chances of it being luck were extremely low.


    ¡°Hm!¡±


    Third Guard and Ye Linyun were slightly shocked. The scene before was too chaotic and they hadn''t noticed it.


    It was Lord Guanjun on the tree who murmured, ¡°What unbelievable perception, to be able to catch Bei Moi¡¯s flaw in a blink and attack it in the chaos.¡±


    The only one that knew the truth apart from Zhao Feng and Bei Moi was Lord Guanjun. Lord Guanjun had analyzed what had happened, he also hadn''t noticed it before.


    ¡°Lucky?¡± Bei Moi didn¡¯t question him further, but he was slightly irritated. He had wanted to defeat all six geniuses in one hit with a perfect ending. Not only did that not happen, he had also received a finger-sized hole in his sleeve.


    This was the only mark that tarnished him. Ever since he had been taken in by Lord Guanjun as a core disciple, he hadn¡¯t lost to anyone in any aspect among his generation. Zhao Feng was the first person to do something like this. First, he was defeated in terms of memorization and now, a mark had appeared on his clothes.


    The sparring between the disciples ended here.


    Lord Guanjun, Third Guard and Ye Linyun all left. Every outer disciple had gained something and so, they all quickly went back to their houses to cultivate.


    On the way back, the image of Bei Moi¡¯s move surfaced in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Way too strong!


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t find any way to fight him straight on and Bei Moi had only used sixty percent of his strength just then. Zhao Feng opened his left eye and he found that Bei Moi¡¯s cultivation was extremely close to the ninth rank and Mo''s Inner Strength was even better than his own Returning Breath Technique.


    After analyzing the fight, Zhao Feng could confirm that Bei Moi had trained at least three or four Holy martial arts. In the midst of it, the Rippling Skill was stronger than most Holy martial arts and it made Zhao Feng realize there were differences among Holy martial arts, too. Soon, he recalled some contents he had memorized in the library.


    ¡°The Holy Martial arts are split into low grade, medium grade, high grade, and peak grade. The skills I saw that day at the Treasury Hall should be all low grade.¡±


    Inside Zhao Feng¡¯s mind, there was a huge amount of knowledge. Two days ago, he had copied a massive amount of knowledge into his mind, most of which hadn¡¯t been digested yet.


    ******************


    Returning back to his place, Zhao Feng started to gain insights on what he had learned today. The essence of Flowing Wind Stance had been taken in by him. Apart from that, he had also gained some insights into Tornado Stance.


    _Hu!_ __


    Zhao Feng circulated Returning Breath Technique and around him came the sound of whistling air.


    Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng stabbed out and the simple finger caused the surrounding wind to blow in that direction.


    _It¡¯s like this, Flowing Wind Stance helps speed skills while Tornado Stance helps offensive skills and creates wide range attacks_ , Zhao Feng gained more insights.


    The four stances were Flowing Wind Stance, Tornado Stance, Partial Wind Stance, and Burning Wind Stance with each stance getting more profound and stronger. Up until now, Zhao Feng had learned fifty to sixty percent of Tornado Stance. If he was right, Burning Wind Stance and Partial Wind Stance were both offensive skills.


    For a few more days, Zhao Feng stayed in his room.


    ****************


    _A certain day..._


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes.


    ¡°Young master Zhao, Master Ye Linyun tells you to go to him, there¡¯s an important meeting," a servant called out.


    Usually, the servant wouldn¡¯t disrupt him unless something was urgent. Zhao Feng walked out of his room and he asked for directions.


    The gathering point was the Sky Guards Battalion.


    Soon, Zhao Feng arrived at the middle of the field. When he arrived, there were many people there already and the two sitting at the head seat were Third Guard and Ye Linyun, respectively. The rest were all of Lord Guanjun¡¯s outer disciples and the new Ten Sky Guards.


    _When everyone had arrived..._


    ¡°Sir Third Guard, what has happened?¡± a youth asked.


    Third Guard responded, ¡°This mission has a few connections with the previous killing mission.¡±


    Killing mission?


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised, didn¡¯t they slaughter all the bandits before?


    The other youths present were also curious. Zhao Feng then thought, _If this was just another killing mission, why would Bei Moi, the core disciple, show up?_


    ¡°It¡¯s like this. After we left the bandit zone, large amounts of wild and deadly beasts started to attack the nearby villages and they have formed a beast horde with the intention of destroying Guanjun Province City,¡± Ye Linyun explained calmly.


    Beast horde? The youths were all shocked. Why would the bandit zone have a random beast horde?


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but think of the scene when he had pursued the Wolf Leader. At that time, Zhao Feng saw a hooded figure and a few high tier deadly beasts.


    ¡°The size of the beast horde is extremely large. There are a large amount of low tier deadly beasts and a few high tier deadly beasts who have already destroyed a few villages, and they have started to threaten Guanjun Province City,¡± Ye Linyun said solemnly.


    High tier deadly beasts?


    The hearts of the youths clenched. There were many rumors about high tier deadly beasts.


    Zhao Feng had personally experienced how powerful the Two Winged Sword Teeth Tiger was, any one of them would be able to destroy a village and even threaten some small cities.


    ¡°Guanjun Province City has already sent troops, but it¡¯s still not enough. The beast horde this time is also a chance for you. Lord Guanjun has ordered you all to defend it,¡± Third Guard said.


    Defend? The youths all let out a breath.


    ¡°Only through battle will your potential be ignited., Zhao Feng¡¯s attitude was on the bright side.


    Just as the people were discussing, a piercing scream sounded above Guanjun Province City.


    _Roar_ ~~~~~~~~~~~


    ¡°What¡¯s the situation? Has the beast horde already arrived at Guanjun Province City?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    He opened his left eye and saw that there was an enormous golden bird in the sky. The aura it released was even stronger than that of the Two Winged Sword Teeth Tiger.

 91 Beast Horde, Part Two

    _Qiu~~~~~_


    That piercing scream echoed all over Guanjun Province City.


    _Plop! Plop¡­_


    Those that weren¡¯t cultivators immediately fainted. Zhao Feng used his enhanced vision and he saw an enormous golden bird nearly thirty kilometers away. The golden eagle was similar to the Metal Beak Eagle he had seen in Sky Cloud Forest, but many many times larger. Just the wingspan alone reached ten meters.


    ¡°Not good! That¡¯s the famous Golden Beak Eagle King from the Sky Cloud Forest who rules the skies!¡± A few cultivators in the city recognized the golden bird.


    A Golden Beak Eagle was a high tier deadly beast which could rival cultivators of the ninth rank.


    _Hu~_


    The Golden Beak Eagle King swept towards the city wall in a flash.


    ¡°Ah¡­"


    Instantly, seven human cultivators were ripped into shreds. The strongest cultivator of the seven that had been killed had reached the seventh rank and he didn¡¯t even see the Golden Beak Eagle King coming.


    _Qiu! Qiu Qiu¡­_


    At this time, a cloud of golden light came from the far away. That cloud of golden light was made up of thousands of Golden Beak Eagles, each comparable to human Martial Artists.


    ¡°Defend!¡±


    ¡°The beast horde is here, go report this to the Guanjun Palace!¡±


    The Guanjun Province City erupted in chaos as everyone started shouting and screaming.


    _*************88_


    _Sky Guards Battalion..._


    The youths all heard that heart-piercing scream, but they didn¡¯t have Zhao Feng¡¯s enhanced vision and therefore, they couldn¡¯t see the scene thirty kilometers out.


    ¡°It looks like there¡¯s a high tier deadly beast near here,¡± Ye Linyun seemed to sense something and glanced in that direction.


    ¡°Long story short, from now on, you will all help defend against the beast horde and there will be battle points awarded for how many beasts you kill. For regular beasts, every one you kill will get you 1 point, while a high tier deadly beast gives you 20¡­,¡± Third Guard announced.


    After telling them what to do, Third Guard and Ye Linyun led the young warriors out.


    When the group reached the city walls they were shocked. In sight was the horde of wild and deadly beasts in the sky and ground. Just deadly beasts alone, there were a few thousand, and there were hundreds of thousands of wild beasts.


    ¡°So fast! The beasts are already here,¡± Ye Linyun took in a deep breath.


    It was good that the Martial Artists and troops had already arrived here and started to kill some of the attacking beasts, but the problem was the Golden Beak Eagles in the sky. They were similar to the Metal Beak Eagles, but were much stronger, as even normal arrows wouldn¡¯t be able to break their defense. It could be said that the Golden Beak Eagle was an evolved version of the Metal Beak Eagle.


    _Ding¡­ Ding¡­ Ding¡­_


    A rain of arrows landed on the Golden Beak Eagles and gave off the sound of clashing metal. But the arrows shot by Martial Learners weren¡¯t even able to break the defense of the Golden Beak Eagles.


    _Sou!_ __


    Zhao Feng took his Golden Stairs bow out and shot down two Golden Beak Eagles with one arrow.


    One arrow, two eagles!


    The nearby archers were slightly surprised since the archer was only a fourteen year old youth.


    ¡°Everyone, go join in the battle. Archers, take care of the beasts in the sky. Other cultivators follow the troops and fight the beasts outside,¡± the general of Guanjun Province City ordered.


    The troops were able to defeat normal wild beasts, but only cultivators could fight the deadly beasts.


    ¡°Go!¡± The youths of Sky Guards Battalion joined in the battle and fortified the defenses.


    The beast horde was an opportunity to ignite one¡¯s potential while earning battle points at the same time. The disciples of Lord Guanjun immediately charged towards the nearby wild and deadly beasts.


    Nan Gongfan, Feng Hanyue, and Zhao Yufei had all reached the seventh rank or higher and they could easily kill tens of wild beasts in one hit, but there were just too many.


    _Sou¨C Sou¨C Sou¨C_


    Zhao Feng kept firing his Golden Stairs Bow, and every arrow would pierce through two or three deadly beasts. Maybe because he had killed too many, the other wild beasts all charged towards him red-eyed.


    "Watch out!" The nearby archers exclaimed.


    ¡°These bastards also have intelligence?¡± Zhao Feng was slightly surprised, but he didn¡¯t fear them.


    Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng repeatedly stabbed out his finger and rays of beautiful green light appeared, which instantly destroyed a large number of birds. But this also caught the attention of the stronger beasts.


    _Qiu~_ __


    Suddenly, a scream was heard and looking up, a high tier deadly beast led a group of Golden Beak Eagles towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Stop them!¡± The expression of the nearby cultivators changed.


    That high tier deadly beast was of the eighth rank and once it charged into the city, havok would be caused.


    Star Finger! Tornado Stance!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as he sent out a beam of azure light that spread into a wide range attack.


    _Tock! Tock! Tock¡­_


    Instantly, five or six Golden Beak Eagles fell down to the ground, dead. What was even more shocking was that every Golden Beak Eagle had been pierced through the throat.


    _Boom¡ª¨C_


    Zhao Feng clashed with a Golden Beak Eagle, and he was perfectly fine while the Golden Beak Eagle had been pushed back.


    ¡°This youth is so strong! Already at the seventh rank at such a young age!¡± The nearby cultivators were shocked.


    Zhao Feng found that the Golden Beak Eagle he just faced was even stronger than the Two Winged Sword Teeth Tiger and it was almost at the ninth rank.


    Zhao Feng would take down at least two birds with one arrow each and every shot.


    _Roar~~~~~~_ __


    Outside the gate, there were five other high tier deadly beasts, or better expressed as peak tier beasts, that arrived. These beasts were all comparable to the ninth rank and they killed dozens of people with every hit.


    Zhao Feng saw those beasts with his left eye and he purposely avoided them as these beasts were all much stronger than the Two Winged Sword Teeth Tiger.


    ¡°Trembling Ripple Kill!¡±


    A shout came from a youth as the figure faced a peak tier deadly beast.


    _Boooom~~~~~_ __


    That small youth was able to fight on par with that gigantic peak tier deadly beast. The nearby cultivators were all stunned.


    Bei Moi!


    Zhao Feng and the others saw that familiar figure face deadly beasts of the ninth rank with only his peak eighth rank cultivation.


    Peak tier deadly beasts were just too terrifying, they would destroy everything if they entered the city.


    _Teng! Teng! Teng¡­_


    Ye Linyun, Third Guard, and their fellow ninth ranks all flew out of the city and met their respective opponents. A total of six ninth ranks were sent out from Guanjun Province City, the same number as the peak tier deadly beasts, but the Golden Beak Eagle King had no opponent as it was just too fast.


    Although cultivators of the ninth rank were strong, they still weren¡¯t able to fight with the Golden Beak Eagle King in midair as it was the latter¡¯s domain.


    ¡°This bastard!¡±


    The archers on the city wall had a headache as they watched the Eagle King. If it was just a normal beast, they could all release their arrows at once and kill it. But the defense of the Eagle was just too strong. With the Golden Beak Eagle King¡¯s lead, hundreds and thousands of Golden Beak Eagles zoomed towards the city wall.


    ¡°Ahhhh¡­¡± Every wave of attack would take away the lives of many soldiers.


    ¡°Tell all the archers to fire at those bastards¡­" On top of the Guanjun Province City wall stood a middle aged man who gave the orders.


    This person was the general of Guanjun Province City, who had reached the peak ninth rank himself and he had just slain a peak tier deadly beast not long ago, boosting the morale of their side. But facing the Golden Beak Eagle King, the general could do nothing against it. The Golden Beak Eagle King was fast, strong, and it fought only in the air.


    ¡°General Heng, if we don¡¯t slay the Golden Beak Eagle King, our side will fall into chaos sooner or later,¡± Ye Linyun spoke as he landed next to the general covered in blood. Just now he had successfully killed a peak tier deadly beast, but he had been injured as well.


    _Qiu¡­_


    Suddenly, the Golden Beak Eagle King turned into a blur and pounced on a human cultivator of the ninth rank with speed like lightning.


    ¡°Watch out!¡± the general and Ye Linyun both warned. The human was fighting another peak tier deadly beast at the time and he thought '' _crap_ '' as he heard the warning.


    _Shua¡­tonk!_


    The sharp claws of the Golden Beak Eagle King pierced through the ninth ranks Inner Strength shield.


    ¡°Ahhhhhhhh!¡± the man screamed, then he was ripped into shreds by the two deadly beasts.


    Seeing the scene, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart turned cold. _Bastard!_ __


    Both General Heng and Ye Linyun clenched their teeth.


    ¡°General Heng, we must kill this bird no matter the cost!¡±


    Ye Linyun¡¯s face went cold. It was just too hard to raise up a human cultivator of the ninth rank. A small city alone might not even give birth to one in tens of years.


    ¡°We must attract it to the ground somewhere, then ambush it,¡± General Heng said thoughtfully.


    ¡°How are we supposed to kill it if most archers can¡¯t even break its defense?¡± Ye Linyun asked bitterly and helplessly.


    ¡°Gathering all the best archers¡­¡± General Heng¡¯s murderous voice echoed in a radius of a few kilometers.

 92 Archery Skills

    Soon, the best archers were gathered near General Heng. Some of them were at the fifth and sixth rank, while others were at the seventh and eighth. The group was full of middle-aged people, apart from Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was slightly curious as he stood in the group of people. The others nearby had pushed him over here before he knew what was going on.


    ¡°All you need to do is attract the Golden Beak Eagle King near the city¡­¡±General Heng told them his plan.


    The plan was simple, to annoy and hurt the Golden Beak Eagle King and attract its attention, then kill it with the combined power of a few ninth ranks.


    ¡°This is probably¡­¡± the seven to eight archers were slightly hesitant.


    ¡°What!? Can¡¯t you all do a simple thing like this?¡± General Heng said coldly.


    The archers immediately started to sweat.


    ¡°General, it¡¯s like this. The Golden Beak Eagle King¡¯s speed is too fast. Furthermore, when it moves, it also drags the wind along with it. So before the arrows come near, they will automatically swerve away,¡± a middle-aged archer said helplessly.


    He was an archer that had reached the seventh rank and his words drew agreements from the other people. Zhao Feng¡¯s eyesight was better and clearer, so therefore, he knew how difficult it was.


    First, the speed of the Golden Beak Eagle King was too fast and when it moved the wind would disrupt the arrow¡¯s movement. Second, the defense of the Golden Beak Eagle King was just too strong, and it could take an attack of an eighth rank and be fine.


    Not only that, the archers had to shoot from the ground, while the Eagle King was in the sky.


    Obviously, there was still one more point.


    What if they managed to hurt the Eagle King? The archers had to attract it to the ambush area as well.


    Normal cultivators of the seventh and eighth rank would instantly be ripped into shreds. Therefore, the archers present had no confidence at all.


    Right at this time, the golden blur of the Eagle King swiped down again and killed tens of people.


    ¡°Ahhhh¡­¡±


    _Shua!_


    After killing them, the Eagle King turned in another direction.


    ¡°Brother Bei Moi watch out!¡± Ye Linyun and Yang Qingshan exclaimed.


    This time, the Golden Beak Eagle King was soaring towards Bei Moi. Bei Moi was fighting another peak tier deadly beast and he heard the wind whistling behind him.


    ¡°Spiritual Crane Flying Wind!¡±


    Bei Moi used a profound speed skill and his body became like a crane and flew into the air. It was a Holy martial art!


    _Qiu~_ __


    The Golden Beak Eagle King screeched and clashed with Bei Moi in midair.


    Boom!


    The attack of the Golden Beak Eagle King had been blocked, but Bei Moi had been slightly injured. After the Golden Beak Eagle King failed to kill him, the Eagle King then disappeared again to find a new target.


    ¡°This bastard. If Brother Bei Moi dies¡­¡± Ye Linyun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.


    _Sou¨C Sou¨C Sou¡ª_


    At this time, the best archers fired their arrows at the Golden Beak Eagle King.


    _Ding! Ding¡­_


    A few of the arrows managed to raise sparks on the wings of the eagle, but its defense wasn¡¯t broken at all. The expressions of the archers were grim.


    ¡°Unless we hit a vital point¡­¡± the archers shook their heads.


    _Ding! Ding! Ding¡­_


    Suddenly, another few arrows hit the Golden Beak Eagle King, but none of them broke through the tough as metal feathers.


    Failed again!


    The archers had bitter expressions.


    Zhao Feng used his Golden Stairs Bow, but the situation was the same. The arrows that got near the Eagle were pulled off course by the wind from the Eagle¡¯s speed.


    _Qiu¡ª_


    The Golden Beak Eagle King suddenly swept downwards towards the nearby archers.


    ¡°Ahh¡­¡± The archers were pale-faced as they tried their best to dodge, but two people still died.


    Lightly Floating Ferry!


    Zhao Feng first used his speed skill, then he took out his Golden Stairs Bow and with a _pah_ , flattened two low tier deadly beasts and pushed back a high tier deadly beast.


    Compared to all the other archers, Zhao Feng was extremely calm.


    Hmm?


    At this time General Heng had also noticed Zhao Feng, and he was surprised that the latter was so calm in a situation like this.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you specialize in the bow?¡± Ye Linyun had also noticed Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Yes, maybe I can do it,¡± Zhao Feng nodded and appeared in front of Ye Linyun.


    ¡°Young master Zhao, are you sure?¡± General Heng had a solemn expression.


    If Zhao Feng was just a normal archer, he wouldn¡¯t mind him giving it a try, but Zhao Feng was a disciple of Lord Guanjun, the responsibility would be borne by him.


    ¡°If it¡¯s just to attract it down, then it¡¯s not much of a problem.¡± As Zhao Feng said this, he slowly drew the Golden Stairs Bow and decided to prove his words with action.


    Hu~


    He took a cold breath as a faint green light appeared on his eyebrow and the Eagle became much slower and clearer in his eyes.


    _Shua!_ __


    Under the enhanced vision mode, Zhao Feng could see the change in the bird''s bones and blood. He stood still and focused in on the Eagle King, but he didn¡¯t release his arrow.


    ¡°Not simple!¡±


    General Heng and Ye Linyun looked at each other. They both felt the sharp, piercing aura from Zhao Feng.


    _Qiu!_


    Suddenly, the Golden Beak Eagle King turned around.


    _Sou! Sou! Sou¡ª_


    Zhao Feng immediately released his arrows. It was like the Eagle King was heading towards the arrows and not the other way around.


    Finally,the three golden arrows and the Eagle King clashed together.


    Yep! Clashed!


    The arrow and eagle were both heading in different directions, but the two finally met together.


    _Shuuuu~~~~~~_


    The golden arrow pierced through the layer of wind and stabbed perfectly into the eagle¡¯s eye. This scene caused the other archers below to stare dazedly.


    ¡°How did he do that¡­?¡± An archer of the seventh rank had a disbelieving expression, he couldn¡¯t accept the fact that Zhao Feng was able to perfectly hit the eye of the Eagle King.


    _Ding!_ __


    The golden arrow raised a spark of fire as it deflected off the eyelid of the Eagle.


    So unfortunate!


    The archers couldn¡¯t help but sigh. The Golden Beak Eagle King had closed its eyes at the last second. Being a peak tier deadly beast, its reactions were insanely fast, but it didn¡¯t notice the smile appearing on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips.


    _Shu- Shu- Shu¡ª_


    The other two arrows followed the first arrow and hit the eyelid of the bird once again. Because the first arrow had broken through the wind, the flight path of the other two was much better.


    Ding!


    Blood leaked out of the Eagle¡¯s eye.


    _Tok!_


    The third arrow pierced into the eyeball.


    The first two arrows made the way for the third arrow. The third arrow was the killing move!


    _Ooooooooo~~~~~~~_ __


    A painful scream appeared in the skies as the Golden Beak Eagle King stared red-eyed at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Prepare the ambush!¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately used his Lightly Floating Ferry and charged towards the ambush zone. At this time, General Heng and Ye Linyun had finally recovered from their shock.


    Ambush!


    Get ready!


    General Heng, Ye Linyun, and a few peak eighth ranks waited.


    _Qiu!_


    The Eagle King charged at Zhao Feng angrily. The latter felt a chill and he knew that he had been locked onto by the Golden Beak Eagle King.


    Smoking Transparent Step!


    His figure moved and merged into the crowd of the city without a trace.


    The Eagle King had lost Zhao Feng¡¯s figure, but it knew the area that he was in. At this time, General Heng and Ye Linyun attacked.


    Heavenly Destruction!


    Dazzling Slice!


    The two peak ninth ranks exploded with power.


    _Craaaaaak¡ª¡ª_ __


    The furious, unsuspecting Eagle King was hit by the two ninth ranks.


    Ye Linyun used a Holy martial art and his palm seemed to become a blade that sliced through the defense of the bird and left eight deep gashes. General Heng¡¯s sword skill was a half Holy martial art that had been trained to the peak level and it was even stronger than the Ye Linyun¡¯s arrack.


    _Shhhhhh~~~~~~~~_


    That sword full of killing intent almost chopped off the Golden Beak Eagle King¡¯s head.


    _Peng...peng¡­boom¡­bam!_


    Immediately, the seventh and eighth ranks used their most powerful skills, and almost killed the bird.


    _Qiu~~~~~~~_


    The Golden Beak Eagle King used its last bit of strength and pounced towards a youth holding a golden bow, full of hatred.

 93 Snatching Battle Points Again?

    "Watch out!"


    "Brother Zhao Feng!"


    From the city wall came shouts of fear.


    At this moment, they knew the Golden Beak Eagle King was on the verge of death and it would die in two breaths time, but even then, the Eagle King was going to give Zhao Feng its last strike.


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng had angered the Golden Beak Eagle King, and the latter had the thoughts of killing him no matter what.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a strong sense of danger. Under the situation, sizzles of heat were released from his left eye and spread throughout his body, which instantly calmed him down again.


    _Hu~_


    The speed of the Golden Beak Eagle King was terrifying, and it reached Zhao Feng in the blink of an eye. That speed had exceeded the reaction of Martial Artists, so even if they could see the action, they wouldn¡¯t be able to dodge it.


    _Plaaaa!_


    The figure of Zhao Feng was immediately torn into shreds and a massive hole was made on the wall behind him.


    Just as everyone thought Zhao Feng had died-


    Flowing Wind Stance! Smoking Transparent Step!


    The figure of a youth appeared on top of the Golden Beak Eagle King.


    What!?


    The nearby cultivators looked as if they had seen a ghost.


    ¡°What a profound speed skill!¡± Joy flashed in Ye Linyun¡¯s eyes.


    Just then, he had seen Zhao Feng use Smoking Transparent Step and Flowing Wind Stance at the same time and he had dodged the attack of the Golden Beak Eagle King.


    ¡°He almost even tricked me¡­¡± The heart of General Heng jumped. In that instant, Zhao Feng had managed to merge Flowing Wind Stance perfectly into Smoking Transparent Step and dodged the frightening attack of the Eagle King. The merging of the Flowing Wind Stance and Smoking Transparent Step meant that it was comparable to a Holy martial art.


    Obviously, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye also played a massive role due to its analysis and calculations. At this moment, Zhao Feng felt as if his blood was on fire and that his mental energy was at its peak state.


    Inside the dimension of his left eye, the green ray of light had extended to 2.6 meters.


    Wait! Why did he get on top of the Golden Beak Eagle King?, the nearby cultivators thought.


    Zhao Feng had just escaped the attack, but now, he had landed on top of the Golden Beak Eagle King.


    Tornado Stance! Mysterious Wind Palm!


    A cold light flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes as an azure light appeared on his palm which spun faster and faster and finally it flew at the head of the Golden Beak Eagle King. At that moment, his body seemed to be a tornado, angry and strong.


    _Shuuuu¡­_


    His Mysterious Wind Palm hit the wound where the Eagle King had been struck by General Heng.


    _Tok! Tok! Tok¡­_ __


    The original injury became bigger and bigger.


    _Blaaam!_


    The head of the Golden Beak Eagle King had split into pieces and the enormous figure fell onto the ground.


    _Teng!_


    Zhao Feng jumped into the air with blood of the Eagle King still dripping from his palm.


    The rise and fall seemed to state the winner between Zhao Feng and the Eagle King.


    ¡°The Golden Beak Eagle King has been killed!¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s the youth that killed the Golden Beak Eagle King?¡±


    Waves of chattering spread among the nearby watching cultivators. Zhao Feng immediately became the center of attention.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, well done!¡± Ye Linyun as well as Third Guard praised him.


    General Heng had also recovered from the shock. ¡°Hahaha! Good job! You¡¯ve done a great job in killing the Golden Beak Eagle King, but there¡¯s suspicions of you snatching the battle points due to the last hit.¡±


    Snatching battle points?


    Zhao Feng thought about it and realized that he had acted on instinct before. At that time, it was better to exchange a blow for a blow instead of dodging and running away. But in the eyes of other people, Zhao Feng was a risk taker who not only didn¡¯t run away, he had tried to earn more battle points.


    No matter what was said, Zhao Feng still played a huge role in killing the Golden Beak Eagle King as without his archery skills, the Golden Beak Eagle King wouldn¡¯t have been attracted down to the ambush area anyways. And the person who killed the Golden Beak Eagle King was also Zhao Feng.


    ¡°The rest of the birds are easier to deal with since the Golden Beak Eagle King is dead,¡± General Heng smiled as he appraised Zhao Feng.


    Without the lead of the Eagle King, the rest of the birds in the sky were like loose sand. As for the beasts on the ground, the casualties of the humans would only increase as time went on.


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged on the back lines as he recovered, while the others such as Ye Linyun thought he had been injured. But, Zhao Feng had learned the Returning Breath Technique, which meant that his Inner Strength was at least twice as thick as those of the same rank.


    ¡°Flowing Wind Stance¡­Tornado Stance¡­Mysterious Wind Palm¡­¡±


    The pictures of these three moves appeared in his mind. Flowing Wind Stance had been merged into his speed skills while the Tornado Stance had been merged into his offensive palm skill.


    Without knowing, Zhao Feng¡¯s understanding of the Tornado Stance had reached seventy-plus percent. It was so good that under both the insights he had gained from the Flowing Wind Stance and the Mysterious Wind Palm, he had also understood over sixty percent of Mysterious Wind Palm, which meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s Mysterious Wind Palm was quite similar to the girl¡¯s from that day.


    The move just now was the combination of Tornado Stance with Mysterious Wind Palm.


    ¡°This brat got another easy kill!¡± Feng Hanyue looked at Zhao Feng with shock in his eyes.


    At the last kill mission, Zhao Feng had also snatched the points for killing the bandit leader and this time he was even more crazy, he had taken the kill for the Golden Beak Eagle King from the mouths of eighth and ninth ranks.


    In many people¡¯s eyes, Zhao Feng¡¯s acts were another example of taking the battle points of others.


    ¡°That guy killed a peak tier deadly beast,¡± Bei Moi¡¯s mouth twitched.


    From the start of the battle till now, Bei Moi had been fighting a peak tier deadly beast and he was even ambushed by the Golden Beak Eagle King. Under all those fights, he still couldn''t kill his opponent while the new disciple, Zhao Feng had done so.


    Kill! Kill!


    The morale of the Guanjun troops increased as they managed to push back the beast horde again and again.


    _Hu~_ __


    After digesting his insights, Zhao Feng stood back up. Just then, he had reached a greater height in understanding of Tornado Stance and Mysterious Wind Palm.


    Furthermore, his cultivation had reached the late stages of the seventh rank.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned the waves of beasts hordes and he found that something was wrong. Soon, he found the answer.


    ¡°The attacks of the deadly beasts seem to be organized, the peak tier deadly beasts lead a large number of low tier deadly and wild beasts.¡±


    Zhao Feng saw what was wrong. If he could see this, then the high levels of the Guanjun Palace could see it as well.


    ¡°Could this beast horde be planned?¡± Ye Linyun, General Heng and the others were all suspicious.


    In the fight, Zhao Feng took out his Golden Stairs Bow and released arrow after arrow, taking down a large number of top tier deadly beasts. Suddenly, it became a beautiful view. Rays and rays of bright green light were sent out from the city hall and with each streak of light, a few beasts would die.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Archer God¡¯s Left Eye was being finely honed on this beast horde.


    ¡°Sir Zhao, can you become my master?¡± The younger archers were extremely excited.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know what to say to that, and seeing that the beasts in the air didn¡¯t have much of a threat left, he went outside of the city.


    Star Finger! Mysterious Wind Palm!


    Zhao Feng was like the wind which killed beasts without sound.


    _Plop! Plop¡­ !_


    Every attack of his would find the flaws of deadly beasts and a number of corpses would be left behind wherever he went.


    ¡°This youth is terrifying!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s extremely good at close combat too!¡± The archers watching him exclaimed. Normally, if one¡¯s forte was archery, their close combat skills weren¡¯t very good. But Zhao Feng was a monster, not only were his archery skills good, his close combat skills were too!


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s potential isn¡¯t any weaker than Bei Moi. But sadly, he¡¯s only an outer disciple of Master and he won¡¯t get all the core skills," Ye Linyun sighed and shook his head.


    After killing for a long time, Zhao Feng felt a familiar cold aura.


    _Shua!_


    He opened his left eye and found that dozens of kilometers away, a hooded figure sat on top of a black bird. Under the hood, a pair of ice blue eyes could be seen.


    _It¡¯s him!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped, the figure was the one that he had seen that day inside the Sky Cloud Forest.


    _Raaaaaar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~_ __


    Just at this moment, a terrifying roar sounded. The aura of the roar¡¯s owner was many times stronger than that of the Golden Beak Eagle King. That one roar caused the hundreds of thousands of beasts to tremble in fear. At this moment, the peak tier deadly beasts stiffened as admiration and fear appeared in their eyes. The humans felt their hearts jump.


    _Peh! Peh! Peh¡­_ __


    _What¡¯s going on?_ __ Zhao Feng felt that his blood was trembling and the thumping sound came from his left eye again.


    ¡°What is this aura that surpasses peak tier deadly beasts?¡± Ye Linyun, Third Guard and General Heng¡¯s voice were all trembling slightly.


    A terrifying aura crushed towards the city and it made the hundreds of thousands of beasts bow down as if they were seeing their king¡­

 94 Lord Tier Deadly Beas

    The piercing howl silenced both the humans and beasts with the latter even kneeling on the ground as if they had seen a king. Far away in the midst of the beast horde, a path was formed.


    ¡°What is the thing that puts fear into peak tier deadly beasts.. ?¡± The cultivators on top of the city wall focused on the path.


    Because Zhao Feng had the best eyesight, he saw a pure black dog-type deadly beast walking towards them. The black dog was the size of a wolf at around 1.5 meters long, and small compared to the other beasts.


    _A dog?_


    Zhao Feng wanted to laugh, but he couldn¡¯t. Every step the dog took would radiate a frightening aura, and when Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes looked into the eyes of the pitch black dog, he felt like he was on fire.


    ¡°Could it be¡­ a Lord Tier deadly beast!?¡± General Heng took in a cold breath as fear flashed through his eyes.


    One had to know that General Heng was already at the peak ninth rank, and he was one of the strongest cultivators here.


    Lord Tier Deadly Beast!


    The faces of the cultivators turned white, they all knew the rumors about Lord Tier deadly beasts. Deadly beasts were split into low and high tier, and they were respectively comparable to Martial Artists and Martial Masters, but peak tier deadly beasts weren¡¯t the highest ranked.


    Above peak tier deadly beasts, there were some terrifying existences - Lord tier deadly beasts!


    ¡°The rumors say that a Lord tier deadly beast can destroy an entire country.¡± On top of the Guanjun Province City wall, a few of the cultivators were scared out of their wits.


    Under the falling sun, hundreds of thousands of deadly and wild beasts bowed down, facing the Lord tier black dog as the latter slowly walked towards the city. Although the Lord tier deadly beast didn¡¯t attack, it coldly glanced at the people and even such cultivators as General Heng and Ye Linyun at the ninth rank would tremble.


    Under that one scan, the Lord tier deadly beast had confirmed who the strongest people among the cultivators were.


    ¡°Stop him!¡±


    ¡°Pass the information to Our Lord!¡±


    A few silver figures appeared on top of a nearby tower.


    _Shua! Shua!_


    ¡°Number One, Number Two, Number Four¡­,¡± Third Guard exclaimed.


    At this moment, the first four of the Guanjun Corps had arrived, with First Guard leading them!


    Ye Linyun took in a cold breath. First Guard was only half a step away from the Holy Martial Path.


    Go!


    The four silver figures jumped down and reached the Lord tier deadly beast in an instant.


    First Guard, Second Guard, Third Guard, and Fourth Guard!


    The strongest four of the Guanjun Corps formed a semicircle around the Lord tier deadly beast, stopping it.


    ¡°Cultivators of the ninth rank, go help¡­¡± General Heng gave the command solemnly.


    He knew that the four Guards alone probably weren¡¯t able to restrain the Lord tier deadly beast who could destroy an entire country.


    _Shua¡­shua¡­_


    Soon, another few cultivators of the ninth rank appeared. On top of the city wall, a few archers pulled their bows, Zhao Feng had taken out his Golden Stairs Bow and drawn it as well.


    _Wu..._


    The pitch black dog coldly scanned the humans on top of the city wall disdainfully, as if it had emotions.


    ¡°Sky Heavenly Death Net!¡±


    The four great Guanjun Corpsmen turned into silver blurs, they held short blades and they sent a net of slices that enveloped the Lord tier deadly beast.


    This Sky Heavenly Death Net had been performed by all four Guards, and the power of it surpassed normal Holy martial arts.


    Even though Zhao Feng was far away, his heart jumped. He knew that if he fell into this Sky Heavenly Death Net, he wouldn¡¯t be able to find any flaws even with his left eye. Normal cultivators of the ninth rank would instantly be ripped into shreds if they were trapped in it.


    For tens of years, no one had ever escaped from this move of the four Guards and today, this killing move landed upon the Lord tier deadly beast.


    _Shu...shu...shu..shu..._


    The pitch black dog didn¡¯t have anywhere to run nor dodge as the net surrounded it in every direction.


    _Wu..._


    A layer of black flames appeared on the dog and a terrifying aura swept around its surroundings.


    _Pah!_


    The Lord tier deadly beast randomly swiped with one paw and it instantly caused a black light a few meters long to appear. The simple swipe seemed to contain a deep martial art that had ripped open another dimension.


    _Craaaaak!_ The Sky Heavenly Death Net shattered.


    _Dang! Dang!_


    The weapons of both Second and Fourth Guard fell to the floor broken as blood leaked from their mouths. The expressions of First and Third Guard turned pale as their bodies stiffened.


    Standing on top of the city wall, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart clenched as he saw the swipe of the Lord tier deadly beast. Because in his eyes, the swipe seemed to be a martial art.


    Deadly beasts know martial arts?


    Maybe it was just Zhao Feng, but he felt that the move from the Lord tier deadly beast seemed similar to the Mysterious Wind Palm of the girl back in the canyon.


    _Shuuuu¡­ !_


    The Lord tier deadly beast stomped on the ground and a layer of pitch blames flames was sent out in every direction as it shattered the ground.


    "Dodge it!" First Guard exclaimed as he furiously slashed his blade at the black flames. The other Guards all did the same.


    Heavenly Cloud Kill!


    Slice of Doom!


    General Heng, Ye Linyun and the other ninth ranks arrived and protected the four Guanjun Corpsmen. But the black flames of the Lord tier deadly beast were just too strong, it burned one¡¯s skin before the flame even reached it.


    ¡°Ahhh¡­¡±


    A cultivator of the ninth rank had his clothes set on fire, so he rolled on the ground trying to flatten it out. But no matter how hard he tried, it didn¡¯t stop the flames and in no time, he became a burnt, blackened corpse. Not only that, Third Guard and Fourth Guard were also tarnished by the black flame.


    ¡°Forget me, run¡­ ¡± Fourth Guard screamed as he charged at the Lord tier deadly beast with his body on fire.


    _Craaak!_


    The Lord tier deadly beast swiped its claws and shattered Fourth Guard¡¯s body.


    ¡°Third Guard!¡± the other people exclaimed. Third Guard, the overseer of the Sky Guards Battalion also had black flames appear on his arm.


    _Craack¡­_


    Third Guard clenched his teeth as he chopped off his own arm.


    ¡°Everyone retreat!¡± General Heng and First Guard called.


    Zhao Feng was shocked as he stood on the city wall. Just then, he had used his Golden Stairs Bow and fired a few arrows, but they had all turned into dust before they even came close to the Lord tier deadly beast.


    "Run! Everyone retreat!"


    The ten ninth ranks couldn¡¯t even block a casual swipe of the Lord tier beast.


    ¡°The difference is too great¡­¡± Bei Moi, Nan Gongfan and the other disciples looked on in fear and they pulled away from the Lord tier deadly beast.


    _Wu¡­_


    The Lord tier deadly beast howled and a few peak tier deadly beasts appeared behind it.


    ¡°He¡¯s calling his troops to attack!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped and he could almost see the destruction of Guanjun Province City.


    The legend of a Lord tier deadly beast destroying a country was just a legend, was it going to happen in the Cloud Country though?


    Just as the cultivators were in despair, the sound of wind came from behind.


    ¡°Which bastard dares come into my territory?¡± a deep voice sounded from midair.


    _Souuu¡­_


    An silver light flashed through the air.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye managed to catch the image of a middle-aged man wearing silver-gold robes flying through the air like a god.


    In just an instant, the man had moved two hundred meters.


    ¡°Flying? Can humans really fly?¡± Zhao Feng recognized that person, Lord Guanjun!


    A gold and silver-robed middle-aged man stopped midair in front of the Lord tier deadly beast.


    ¡°Illusion Rippling Execution!¡± Lord Guanjun waved his hands as a silver light appeared.


    Instantly, a sound as loud as thunder appeared and the eight meter long silver light stabbed heavily towards the Lord tier deadly beast.


    _Wu!_


    Wariness appeared in the black dog¡¯s eyes as it swiped its paw of black flame at the silver light.


    _Boom¡­_


    The frenzied wind blew up everything in a twenty meter radius and it left a deep hole where the forces collided. At the same time, the nearby peak tier deadly beasts howled in fear and agony as they were turned into dust¡­

 95 Hooded Figure Appears

    ¡°Lord Guanjun!¡±


    ¡°My Lord!¡±


    A limitless number of shouts came from the city wall. Ye Linyun, General Heng, Third Guard and the other ninth ranks loosened up.


    Everyone looked at that gold silver robed middle aged man with excitement, admiration and respect. The man looked like a god, with a silver glow surrounding him as he clashed with the Lord tier deadly beast in the blink of an eye.


    The energy remains instantly killed the nearby peak tier deadly beasts, shocking everyone.


    Wu~~~~


    Blood gashes appeared on the pitch black dog as it looked at Lord Guanjun with wariness.


    ¡°Good! Lord Guanjun will kill the Lord tier deadly beast!¡±


    The human cultivator¡¯s expressions that were of despair turned to joy and expectations. In their eyes, Lord Guanjun was a god who could defeat anyone in the world.


    Zhao Feng let out a breath as he stood on top of the city wall. Just then, he had made the preparations to run if all came to worst and his left eye had analysed the best path to take.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye scanned Lord Guanjun and the Lord tier deadly beast. Without a doubt, the power of them had surpassed the nine ranks of the Martial Path and entered the Holy Martial Path.


    Shua!


    Lord Guanjun descended from the air and he sent a wave of air towards his surroundings.


    ¡°Lord Guanjun has surpassed the nine ranks of the martial path and using his power, he can use the wind to help him fly momentarily.¡± Zhao Feng concluded.


    Flying, that was the dream of limitless people. Although cultivators of the Holy Martial Path couldn¡¯t fly, the power still made those of the ninth rank look up at them in awe.


    ¡°Bastard! This is the world of humans, go back to the Sky Cloud Forest!¡± Lord Guanjun stood proudly on the ground and ordered.


    Under the pressure of his Holy Martial Path, the hundreds of thousands of beasts shook in fear. If the Lord tier deadly beast wasn¡¯t there, they would have fled already.


    Peh! Prh!


    Zhao Feng felt some sort of pressure and sizzles of heat coming from his left eye and it was released throughout his body. It made the light inside the dimension of his left eye move closer to seven foot nine.


    This change made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart beat faster, ever since he had merged with this eye, Zhao Feng felt limitless potential time and time again. At this moment, his cultivation was increasing under the pressure outside. Now, Zhao Feng felt that his future potential had exceed the Half Spiritual Body.


    Right as he was thinking, the battle below had broke out.


    Wuuu~~~~~~~


    The Lord tier deadly beast waved its claw and like black lightning streaking across the sky, a blast of power destroyed everything within thirty metres.


    Just the damage from it made Zhao Feng¡¯s head tingle. If they let the Lord tier deadly beast into Guanjun Province City, the result would be unthinkable.


    Ten Cross Rippling Execution!


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s arm turned to a sharp silver color and in an instant, a bright flash sped through the air that ripped the Lord tier deadly beasts¡¯ attack into shreds.


    Boom!


    The ground trembled as dust covered the air. The next instant the two figures had disappeared.


    Peh! Peh! Boom----


    Lord Guanjun and the Lord tier deadly beast exchanged blows quickly, and the remaining energy alone immediately killed the nearby birds. The two figures were small compared to the other deadly beasts, but the aura they radiated made the other beasts tremble in fear.


    The cultivators on the city wall held their breaths as they watched, although they couldn¡¯t even understand what was going on. Only Zhao Feng could see clearly with his left eye.


    ¡°Strength, speed, damage¡­ How is it possible for a human to reach such a level?¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and because he saw clearer, he understood how strong cultivators of the Holy martial path were.


    Cultivators of the Holy Martial Path could decide a country¡¯s fate in the thirteen Sky Cloud countries, therefore even the King would be respectful towards one.


    Lord Guanjun was one of them, he had absolute power in Sky Cloud Country.


    When one reached the Holy Martial Path, the time for a battle became very short, but the number of moves exchanged increased significantly.


    In the midst of booms, the Lord tier deadly beast growled in pain and the black flames decreased whereas the silver light on Lord Guanjun became brighter.


    ¡°Lord Guanjun is almost uninjured and although they¡¯re both at the same realm, he has better technique and skill.¡± Zhao Feng stared at the two figures.


    Wu¡­


    Fear and wariness appeared in the Lord tier deadly beasts¡¯ eyes as it retreated quickly. It¡¯s actions caused the hundreds of thousands of beasts behind to break into chaos.


    Escape?


    Lord Guanjun laughed coldly and waved his arm through the air. As he did so, an eight metre long light flew at the Lord tier deadly beast, leaving behind a gash that went to the bone.


    Sou¡­ Sou¡­ Sou¡­


    Two figures weaved through the beast horde.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ these bastards are retreating, everyone attack!¡±


    ¡°The beasts have fine materials, which we can sell for gold.¡±


    The cultivators of Guanjun Province City cheered as they charged out of the city.


    ¡°Nan Gongfan, Zhao Feng, Zhao Fei and Feng Hanyue¡­ we¡¯ll follow and watch how Master slays a Lord tier deadly beast.¡± Qing Yangshan said excitedly.


    On the other side, Bei Moi had already follow Lord Guanjun out.


    ¡°Troops, advance!¡± General Heng gave the order for the troops and cultivators to attack the fleeing beast horde.


    ¡°Ok.¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head and he went with the other disciples towards their Master.


    Zhao Feng was very interested in how the cultivators of the Holy martial path fought. His left eye could see the scenery of Lord Guanjun and the Lord tier deadly beast fighting.


    After chasing for tens of miles.


    Lord Guanjun and the Lord tier deadly beast stopped near a forest. The Lord tier beast was full of injuries and it was dripping blood as it kneeled on the ground unable to move.


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s body stiffened and he didn¡¯t move.


    Hm? What¡¯s the situation?


    Zhao Feng was slightly curious. At this moment, Bei Moi, who was eight miles away, couldn¡¯t see what was happening clearly. But Zhao Feng, who was tens of miles away, saw the situation: the Lord tier deadly beast wasn¡¯t kneeling down because of Lord Guanjun, because it¡¯s backside was facing the latter.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡±


    Lord Guanjun was extremely solemn as he released a terrifying mental strength.


    ¡°Zhe.. Zhe¡­ There¡¯s a Yuefan cultivator in Guanjun Province City¡­ ¡°


    A hooded figure sat on top of a black bird. Under the hood, a pair of ice cold eyes stared down at Lord Guanjun as it laughed.


    It¡¯s him!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook as he saw this scene tens of miles away. He had seen this person on that day during the bandit mission and Zhao Feng had a feeling that this beast horde had connections with him.


    ¡°Why are you controlling the beast hordes to attack the human city and villages? Aren¡¯t you afraid of the Thirteen County pact?¡± Lord Guanjun shouted as light twinkled in his eyes.


    Pah!


    The black bird in the sky flapped its wings and a black wind twirled towards him. Lord Guanjun¡¯s expression immediately changed as he retreated tens yards. Instantly, the place where he originally stood had dissolved and the Lord tier black dog howled sadly as it died.


    Si~~


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take in a cold breath as he saw this scene.


    The black bird under the hooded figure was at least two times stronger than the black dog. Obviously, he could only see the situation and not what they were saying.


    As they exchanged words, Lord Guanjun¡¯s expression turned dimmer and dimmer.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ Today¡¯s playing ends here¡­ ¡±


    At last, the hooded figure with the ice cold blue eyes scanned Bei Moi who had almost caught up and disappeared into the sky.


    When Bei Moi had arrived, the mysterious hooded figure as well as the black bird had turned into a black dot that merged into the sky.


    ¡°Master, what just happened? Who was he?¡± Bei Moi asked curiously as he looked at where the hooded figure vanished.


    Lord Guanjun was silent for a while before he let out a breath: ¡°Danger appears for the thirteen countries of the Sky Cloud Forest¡­ But this is also a chance for you¡­.¡±


    As he said that, he looked expectantly at the disciples behind him.


    A chance?


    Zhao Feng, Qing Yangshan, Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei had all arrived.

 96 Tip of an Iceberg

    The Lord tier deadly beast''s corpse lay shattered in the ground nearby.


    Lord Guanjun stood with his hands behind his back in front of the beast, looking at his six disciples, Bei Moi, Yang Qingshan, Nan Gongfan, Feng Hanyue, Zhao Feng,and Zhao Yufei.


    The six youths were the elite prodigies of Guanjun Province City, but Lord Guanjun¡¯s attention was mainly focused on Bei Moi.


    ¡°A chance?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled, he didn¡¯t know what Lord Guanjun meant?


    On the way here, Zhao Feng had seen what had happened between the two, including all the actions. But he couldn¡¯t hear what they were saying.


    ¡°Master, what do you mean?¡± Feng Hanyue asked, unable to conceal his curiosity.


    The biggest chance he had to change his destiny was to become Lord Guanjun¡¯s disciple. Awaiting the answer, the others were all anticipating.


    ¡°This chance is also your Master¡¯s wish¡­¡± Lord Guanjun sighed softly as his eyes looked into the distance with longing, hate, anticipation, and other complex emotions.


    Being someone who had absolute power in Guanjun Province City, what could stir so many emotions in him?


    Zhao Feng had seen similar emotions that day in the Spiritual Martial Hall. But at that time, Lord Guanjun¡¯s emotions passed by in a flash with only Zhao Feng able to catch it.


    He had asked that day why Lord Guanjun searched for so many geniuses?


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s reply was to fulfill a wish.


    Wish?


    What could his wish be? A wish that he couldn¡¯t even achieve and could only rely on the younger generation?


    _Teng! Sou! Sou!_


    Right at this time, the nearby strong cultivators, including Ye Linyun and General Heng, headed over, but Lord Guanjun lifted his hand and signaled them to leave.


    Although Ye Linyun, General Heng and the others were slightly curious, they left without hesitation.


    The scene made the six youths realize that Lord Guanjun had something important to say.


    ¡°Did any of you see the mysterious hooded figure?¡± Lord Guanjun seemed to change the topic.


    ¡°Yes, disciple here saw him last time in the Sky Cloud Forest¡­¡± Zhao Feng immediately answered.


    The only ones who had actually seen the hooded figure were Zhao Feng and Bei Moi. Zhao Feng had seen him twice.


    ¡°Oh?"


    Lord Guanjun looked at Zhao Feng, slightly stunned. ¡°How strong do you think he was?¡±


    ¡°Very strong!¡± Zhao Feng thought about how the figure had made his moves the two times and his heart couldn¡¯t help but turn cold.


    Lord Guanjun smiled, ¡°Do you think that he is stronger than me?¡±


    This¡­


    Zhao Feng diddn¡¯t think that his Master would ask this sort of question. Under the gaze of someone who had reached the Holy Martial Path, Zhao Feng could only answer, ¡°Personally, disciple here thinks that the opponent is at least on par with Master, if not stronger¡­¡±


    Since he had the mysterious left eye, Zhao Feng was very accurate on how strong someone was. His answer still contained a slight suspicious tone to it.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! What are you saying? How dare you look down upon Master and praise the enemy?¡± Nan Gongfan immediately exclaimed.


    The brows of Bei Moi, Yang Qingshan and Feng Hanyue also furrowed, it was obvious that they didn¡¯t believe him.


    In the Cloud Country, Lord Guanjun was a legendary figure with supreme power and status. Being disciples of such a person, how could they be not confident?


    Only Zhao Yufei believed Zhao Feng, a trust based on something that she couldn¡¯t understand.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s reply surprised Lord Guanjun, and the latter couldn¡¯t help but look at him a few more times. This was the first time that he had really inspected this disciple of his.


    Nan Gongfan and the others were all shocked, it seemed that Master didn¡¯t seem unhappy. In fact, he seemed to look at Zhao Feng in a new way.


    ¡°Say the truth, what do you think?¡± Lord Guanjun stared at him.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but remember the stand off between Master and the hooded figure.


    After a while, he took a deep breath and said confidently, ¡°The mysterious figure should be stronger than Master.¡±


    What!?


    Nan Gongfan, Yang Qingshan,and the others expressions changed dramatically. Zhao Feng had guts!


    ¡°Of course, this is just my feeling.¡± Feeling the enmity from the other disciples, Zhao Feng added another sentence quickly.


    ¡°Indeed, that fellow¡¯s strength is above mine,¡± Lord Guanjun said slowly as he appraised Zhao Feng.


    ¡°What!? Impossible! How could anyone be stronger than Master!?¡± Nan Gongfan couldn¡¯t accept it.


    When they had become his disciples, the Master in their eyes had stood at the peak of the world.


    ¡°Furthermore, that person can control Lord tier deadly beasts and lead limitless high tier deadly beasts into attacking Guanjun Province City. Under that situation, even I can do nothing to stop the destruction of Guanjun Province City¡­¡± Lord Guanjun said solemnly.


    Control Lord tier deadly beasts? The disciples couldn¡¯t even imagine this.


    ¡°There was a mastermind planning this beast horde¡­" Zhao Feng remembered the ice cold blue eyes again.


    ¡°Master! How could there be such a terrifying figure? And why did he stop attacking Guanjun Province City?¡± Yang Qingshan couldn¡¯t accept this as well.


    The gazes of the six youths focused on Lord Guanjun¡¯s face.


    ¡°Hehe, the world you know is only the tip of an iceberg, the Holy Martial Path¡­is just the beginning. Even someone as strong as that hooded figure doesn¡¯t dare to go against the Thirteen Countries Pact!¡± Lord Guanjun smiled.


    The Holy Martial Path was just a start? The six prodigies were all stunned. Today, Lord Guanjun had shocked them too much and they could only understand half of this.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng felt his blood boiling and he suddenly remembered the three youths that day in the canyon. All three of them were extremely young, and any one of them could kill an eighth rank Azure Eyed Hyena in one hit. The other two had also looked at the Hyena with disdain and they left it to the girl who had no battle experience.


    Even Bei Moi was inferior compared to these three. Since then, Zhao Feng had understood how large the world was¡­there was still too many unknown things out there he couldn¡¯t even touch¡­


    ¡°In your eyes, the Holy Martial Path may be a legend and the nobles who control the Thirteen Countries of the Sky Cloud have extreme power, but this isn¡¯t the truth!¡± Lord Guanjun said mockingly, but the words he said were exactly what many people were thinking.


    It was exactly what Zhao Feng had thought back at Green Leaf Village and Sun Feather City.


    ¡°The true controllers of the Sky Cloud Thirteen Counties aren¡¯t the King, Lords, nobles or family clans! They are the thirteen clans above the mortal world!¡±


    Speaking this, Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes became sharp, as if his gaze could rip open a hole in space.


    Thirteen clans?


    The six youths looked at each other.


    Clans! Thirteen Clans that stood above the mortal world!


    Why hadn¡¯t they heard of them before?


    When Zhao Feng was still in Green Leaf Village, Sun Feather City was already extremely powerful in his eyes. But as his cultivation rose, his eyes started to wander towards the Province City and the Thirteen Countries and he found out about the two strong countries next to the Sky Cloud Thirteen Countries.


    Any one of the two countries could destroy the Thirteen Countries and therefore, the latter had to join together in order to survive.


    But this wasn¡¯t the truth!


    ¡°Master, how strong are the thirteen clans to be able to control the thirteen countries?¡± Nan Gongfan asked in disbelief.


    ¡°These clans control the path of cultivation. Every clan only has one thousand or so people, but they control the destiny of a country. If you want to ask how strong they are, your Master, I, was only an outer disciple of Broken Moon Clan,¡± Lord Guanjun sighed.


    Outer disciple?


    Bei Moi and the others froze. Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan shook their heads in disbelief.


    ¡°Someone as strong as Lord Guanjun was only an outer disciple, just like how I was in the Zhao sect¡­¡±


    Waves appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart. They didn¡¯t need to know how strong the clan was, just the fact that Lord Guanjun was only an outer disciple alone told them.


    After knowing the truth, the six geniuses felt as if their souls were lost. Their achievements were top tier in Guanjun Province City, but compared with the clans, the two weren¡¯t even on the same level, like how a human wouldn¡¯t bother with an ant.


    ¡°The clan that controls the Cloud Country is known as the Broken Moon sect and the peak existences have even surpassed the Holy Martial Path¡­¡± Speaking this, admiration and longing appeared in Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes.

 97 First in Battle Points

    Broken Moon Clan.


    This was the clan that Lord Guanjun was once in and at that time, he was only an outer disciple!


    When Lord Guanjun was speaking about the Broken Moon Clan, even he couldn¡¯t control the eagerness and admiration in his voice.


    It was hard to imagine what kind of power stood above the King.


    ¡°Master, does your wish have something to do with this clan?¡± Nan Gongfan asked with a tinge of excitement.


    When they had first known about the existence of these clans, they were first shocked, but now they were full of anticipation.


    ¡°Maybe I¡¯ll have a chance to touch that world¡­¡± The images of the three youths in the canyon once again appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s head.


    The excitement and expectation in his heart wasn¡¯t any weaker than Nan Gongfan¡¯s.


    ¡°Your Master, I, came from the Broken Moon Clan and because I didn¡¯t reach the Holy Martial Path before the age of 30, I lost the chance to become an inner disciple. So I left the clan and took up the duty of taking care of the mortal things. Therefore, I still have some connections with the clan.¡±


    Lord Guanjun stopped for a moment, then he threw out another piece of news. ¡°According to what I know, the five year disciple test is starting in two months time.¡±


    Disciple test!


    The eyes of the six youths lit up. Bei Moi and the others couldn¡¯t hide the excitement on their faces. The disciple test that took place once every five years was in two months time!


    ¡°Even the nearby countries can enter the Broken Mood Clan disciple test. At that time, the geniuses from around the country will gather, including those family clans hiding out of sight from mortals who have power even exceeding the Guanjun Palace. When all these prodigies meet up, the competition will be very fierce. Your Master has done his best and he can send a few into the disciple test,¡± Lord Guanjun summarized the situation.


    ¡°The elite of the elite around the country will fight to enter the Broken Moon Clan¡­¡± Zhao Feng and the others felt their blood boiling. A battle intent even surged forth from Bei Moi.


    In the Guanjun Province City, their talent and strength were top tier, but if they entered the Broken Moon Clan, they could fight the other peak geniuses to see who was stronger.


    ¡°I have three recommendations for the disciple test in two months time, so you¡¯ve all got to grip this chance,¡± Lord Guanjun said solemnly as he looked at the six youths in front of him.


    Three spots?


    The hearts of all the youths jumped. Even though they were under the same Master, they would still compete against each other.


    Obviously, Lord Guanjun had more disciples. But there was an age limit for the disciple test, this was why Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t invite Ye Linyun and the others over.


    Ye Linyun and the rest were older than thirty and the rule of the Broken Moon Clan was that if one wasn¡¯t able to reach the Holy Martial Path by the age of thirty, they wouldn¡¯t be able to become an inner disciples. This also meant that only the six youths in front of him could compete for the three recommendation spots.


    ¡°The beast horde is over. All of you go back to the Guanjun Palace and celebrate!¡± Lord Guanjun said, then disappeared with a flash.


    _Sou! Sou!_ A streak of silver shot through the sky and it was quickly lost from sight.


    ¡°Master tells all of you to go to the Spiritual Martial Hall to get your rewards.¡± Ye Linyun¡¯s figure appeared in front of the six, and they nodded their heads in response.


    On the way back, Feng Hanyue seemed to have something on his mind as he looked back and forth between Bei Moi, Nan Gongfan, and Yang Qingshan.


    Lord Guanjun could only recommend three people and of the six youths, Bei Moi, Nan Gongfan, and Yang Qingshan had the highest cultivation, with all of them being at the eighth rank or higher.


    Compared to the other three, Feng Hanyue, Zhao Feng, and Zhao Yufei had less of a chance.


    ¡°I should be able to get one spot out of the three if I try my best,¡± Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    After the beast horde, his strength had risen and the faint green light was coming close to 2.65 meters.


    He had no confidence in beating Bei Moi as the latter could slay ninth ranks, but Zhao Feng was sixty to seventy percent confident that he could beat Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan.


    Furthermore, there was still two more months till the disciple test, and Zhao Feng had this time to improve.


    The six all used their speed skills and arrived back at the Guanjun Palace.


    *************************


    _Spiritual Martial Hall._


    ¡°Master is waiting inside.¡± Ye Linyun had arrived at the gate already.


    His cultivation was at the peak ninth rank, so he was the fastest. Bei Moi was second and he had already walked into the hall. After him were Yang Qingshan, Nan Gongfan, and Zhao Feng, the other two slightly surprised by Zhao Feng¡¯s speed.


    Soon, the sx youths arrived at the Spiritual Martial Hall.


    Lord Guanjun sat on his futon as he scanned the six disciples.


    On his left and right were Ye Linyun and First Guard. The youths were all familiar with Ye Linyun, but First Guard was a mysterious person who had reached half-step Holy rank.


    Because Third Guard had been injured during the fight with the Lord tier deadly beast, First Guard took his place.


    ¡°How goes the battle points?¡± Lord Guanjun asked in a deep voice.


    ¡°Master, the Guanjun Corps¡¯ calculations have been finalized and they have given the results.¡± First Guard bowed as he took out a small book.


    Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t take the book, instead saying, ¡°Read it out.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± First Guard opened the book and spoke what was written on it: ¡°First, Zhao Feng - 465 battle points. Second, Bei Moi - 403 battle points¡­¡±


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s expression changed as he stared at First Guard. ¡°Bei Moi isn¡¯t first?¡±


    In reality, even the other geniuses felt this was unbelievable. How could Bei Moi not be first place? Even Lord Guanjun was suspicious. At this moment in time, the Martial Spiritual Hall had turned silent.


    Bei Moi had his fists clenched together and mumbled with an ugly expression. ¡°Impossible! I don¡¯t believe it!¡±


    ¡°Master, Zhao Feng slew the Golden Beak Eagle King and that was where he got most of his points from,¡± Ye Linyun informed him in a low tone.


    ¡°How many points for killing the Golden Beak Eagle King?¡± Lord Guanjun asked.


    First Guanjun immediately replied, ¡°There is a range of 20 - 60 battle points for killing a high tier deadly beast. But because the Golden Beak Eagle King¡¯s strength was at the peak ninth rank and was extremely hard to kill, 100 battle points were awarded.¡±


    100 Battle points! Bei Moi and the others were stunned.


    ¡°Even if he did kill the Golden Beak Eagle King, his battle points are a bit too much. Tell us the battle points of the others,¡± Lord Guanjun ordered calmly.


    ¡°Yang Qingshan - 195 battle points, Nan Gongfan 181 battle points¡­,¡± First Guard called out the battle points of the others.


    It was obvious that no one else apart from Zhao Feng and Bei Moi had reached 200 points.


    According to logic, Zhao Feng¡¯s battle points should be around 100 or so. Even if he did manage to kill the Golden Beak Eagle King and get 100 battle points, it meant that he had received 365 extra battle points, and exceeded Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan by far.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan shook their heads furiously.


    Bei Moi laughed coldly, but he didn¡¯t speak. It was obvious that he believed his Master would give the right judgement.


    ¡°Could there be any problems?¡± Lord Guanjun asked with his eyebrows raised.


    Under normal situations, he never questioned the Guanjun Corps, but this time, it was just too unexpected.


    ¡°Master, I am sure this is correct and even if there was a problem, it would be extremely small,¡± First Guard said without a doubt, then proceeded to go over the detailed calculations.


    ¡°Zhao Feng slew between seventy to eighty flying beasts with just his arrows alone, and on average, they were worth 2.5 battle points each. From just this alone, he already has 200 and counting the Golden Beak Eagle King, it would be 300¡­,¡± First Guard read out.


    There were records of where the points came from.


    ¡°Oh? Archery?¡± Lord Guanjun was slightly surprised as he looked once again at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°On this fact, General Heng, me and the nearby archers can vouch for this.¡± Ye Linyun added.


    ¡°Hmm¡­ there shouldn¡¯t be any problems here.¡± Lord Guanjun wasn¡¯t suspicious at all.


    Next, it was the other points. After he shot down the flying beasts, he used the remaining time to get another 160 or so points.


    One had to know that Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan had only earned 180 or so in double his time and the two had higher cultivation levels than Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Nan Gongfan shook his head, showing his disbelief.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s battle conscience is extremely good and every attack he made would take down a beast. His efficiency and speed is double those of the same rank. In terms of this, even the elite of the Guanjun Corps can¡¯t catch up with him¡­maybe he¡¯s a natural killer!?¡± First Guard gave Zhao Feng a complex look.


    Ye Linyun had a bright smile on. ¡°Last time, Zhao Feng made first place in the kill mission as well, and at that time, he was only at the sixth rank¡­¡±


    Now, Zhao Feng¡¯s source of battle points had been explained. Lord Guanjun now had no doubts as he looked at Zhao Feng with praise. ¡°I never thought that I would have a prodigy who¡¯s good at both archery and close combat.¡±


    He knew how his Guanjun Corpsmen were, they would almost never make a mistake.


    ¡°...What kind of monster is this guy?¡± Bei Moi clenched his fists, showing his unwillingness. Being the only core disciple of Lord Guanjun, how could he lose to an outer disciple?


    Nan Gongfan, Yang Qingshan and Feng Hanyue all looked at Zhao Feng with shock. Only Zhao Yufei had a smile on her face and wasn¡¯t surprised by this.


    After they received their battle points, the six geniuses left, leaving behind Lord Guanjun, First Guard, and Ye Linyun in the Spiritual Martial Hall.


    ¡°What else do you need?¡± Lord Guanjun asked.


    First Guard took a deep breath. ¡°Master, Zhao Feng¡¯s real battles points were actually 565 and not 465! But out of consideration for the other geniuses, I hid 100 battle points¡­¡±

 98 Silver Air Barrier

    ¡°Master, Zhao Feng¡¯s real battles points were actually 565, not 465! But out of consideration for the other geniuses, I hid 100 battle points¡­¡± First Guard said.


    ¡°Is this true?¡± A light flashed in Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes as he sent out an unbearable pressure at First Guard and Ye Linyun.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    First Guard said without hesitation. ¡°Brother Zhao Feng gained more points in both archery and close combat.¡±


    Inside First Guard''s voice, there was a slight bitterness. Being a quasi-Holy martial artist, his words had great importance. First Guard knew that even he himself wouldn¡¯t be able to reach such a level if he was the same rank as Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Master! Disciple here said that you wouldn¡¯t regret taking in Zhao Feng as your disciple,¡± Ye Linyun said with a smile. He was always expectant of Zhao Feng and the latter didn¡¯t let him down.


    Lord Guanjun soon remembered the hesitation he had that day on whether to take Zhao Feng in as a disciple or not. After all, at that time, Zhao Feng¡¯s talent was only a Half Spiritual Body. It was due to the fact that Ye Linyun had recommended him that he had taken him in.


    It looked like this decision wasn¡¯t wrong.


    ¡°Zhao Feng isn''t bad and his battle proficiency is almost perfect.¡± Lord Guanjun¡¯s words took a twist with a slight sigh to it. ¡°Unfortunately, he¡¯s just a Half Spiritual Body which restricts his future achievements and he won¡¯t be able to complete my wish¡­¡±


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng¡¯s performance was indeed great, but Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t think that he would have great achievements in the future.


    As for Lord Guanjun¡¯s conclusion, First Guard didn¡¯t say anything, as if he approved. Ye Linyun wanted to retort, but there was nothing to say.


    Indeed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s performance was great, but no one had ever thought of him exceeding Bei Moi.


    *************************


    After leaving the Spiritual Martial Hall, Zhao Feng immediately headed towards the Treasury Hall.


    The other disciples, Nan Gongfan, Yang Qingshan, and Feng Hanyue, were all envious and jealous.


    Bei Moi¡¯s expression was the worst. Ever since he was young, he was a super prodigy in other people¡¯s eyes and no one his age had ever beat him in anything.


    When he was back in the village, it was like that, and when he moved to the city, it was like this as well. But ever since he had met Zhao Feng, this record had been broken again and again.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re not simple. If you have guts, let¡¯s go to the Clan and settle it there.¡± A rare red light appeared in Bei Moi¡¯s expressionless eyes.


    Was¡­Bei Moi challenging someone?


    Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan were slightly stunned. They had never seen Bei Moi challenge someone, because everyone else his age had been left behind and couldn¡¯t threaten him.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Zhao Feng immediately answered with a solemn expression.


    In reality, he felt immense pressure facing a super prodigy such as Bei Moi. But this was also a good thing, he could use it to ignite his potential. With his battle points, he could get many martial arts, resources, pills, and weapons.


    ¡°What should I get with the battle points?¡± Zhao Feng went into deep thought.


    Martial arts?


    Zhao Feng felt that he didn¡¯t need any as he already had Metal Wall Technique and Returning Breath Technique. One was a Holy martial art while the other was close to a Holy martial art. The others, such as Lightly Floating Ferry and Smoking Transparent Step, could reach the tier of Holy martial arts by combining them with Flowing Wind Stance.


    It seemed like his lowest tier skill was Star Finger.


    ¡°Star Finger is a peak martial art and it can be classified as a half-Holy martial art. Using it with Tornado Stance, it can surpass normal half-Holy martial arts. If I train it to the seventh level, it can even beat Holy martial arts as it¡¯s extremely hard to train Holy martial arts to a high level.¡± Zhao Feng analyzed.


    He finally decided not to get another offensive skill. With his battle points, he could only get half-Holy martial arts and not Holy martial arts. Just like this, Zhao Feng decided to not get any martial arts.


    His focus was on pills and resources.


    Of his skills, Silver Wall Technique was the highest level and it was the foundation of the nine ranks of the Martial Path. Zhao Feng remembered what Lord Guanjun and Ye Linyun had discussed.


    ¡°Therefore, I should go all in on my body strengthening technique,¡± Zhao Feng decided as a light flashed in his eyes.


    He then immediately went into the Thousand Medicine Pavilion inside the Treasury Hall. His aim was resources that could help his body strengthening technique.


    ¡°Chilling Snow Body Pill, using a large amount of cold to strengthen the body and it is one of the best pills for the nine ranks of the Martial Path. It must be used with care for those under the eighth rank.¡±


    ¡°Burning Sun Bone Pill, using an extremely hot flame to burn the bones and it is one of the best body strengthening pills. It has a better effect when used with Chilling Snow Body Pill¡­¡±


    ¡°Golden Body Strengthening Powder, the king of body strengthening resources, is a very wild and dominant powder, it has a fifty percent chance of crippling a cultivator at the eighth rank!¡±


    Soon, Zhao Feng found the three best peak tier pills.


    The Chilling Snow Body Pill cost him one hundred twenty battle points. The Burning Sun Bone Pill cost him one hundred nineteen battle points. The Golden Body Strengthening Powder cost him one hundred sixty-seven battle points.


    Just the three alone cost him over four hundred battle points.


    One had to know that a peak ranked martial art only cost ten points and a half-Holy martial art cost fifty.


    As for the leftover battle points, Zhao Feng bought some lower class body strengthening resources. Even then, these resources were much better than the body strengthening powder he had bought at the Medicine Pavilion.


    *******************


    _On the same day..._


    Zhao Feng had spent all his battle points. The battle points had been exchanged for over half of the precious stock for body strengthening resources.


    In the Guanjun Palace, not everyone could get battle points and even if they could, there was a limit to how much could be exchanged. But being the disciple of Lord Guanjun, he could get more items for the same amount of battle points.


    For example, if someone else wanted a Chilling Snow Body Pill, they needed one hundred seventy battle points, but he only needed one hundred twenty. And even if they had enough, they might not have the status to exchange for it.


    After leaving the Treasury Hall, Zhao Feng returned to his place and started to cultivate.


    For the next month, he focused solely on Silver Wall Technique.


    For the first seven days, he used the lower class body strengthening resources that were compatible with cultivators of the seventh rank or higher. The pills and medicine he purchased were different according to their nature.


    For example: Chilling Snow Body Pill was of cold nature, whereas Burning Sun Bone Pill was of fire nature and Golden Body Strengthening Powder was of metal nature.


    Therefore, he made sure that the pills of the same element weren¡¯t used right after one another as his body would start to have resistance against them.


    *******************


    _Seven days later..._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Silver Wall Technique reached the seventh level, but this had also used up all of his lower class resources.


    ¡°I can suppress most cultivators of the seventh rank with just my body alone.¡±


    Zhao Feng could feel the explosive strength hiding inside his arms. Every punch could instantly kill anyone under the seventh rank.


    Now Zhao Feng only had a Chilling Snow Body Pill, a Burning Sun Bone Pill, and Golden Strengthening Powder left. According to what he had planned, he first consumed the Chilling Snow Body Pill.


    After eating it, a terribly cold aura spread out within his body. For three days and three nights his body was frozen, the danger was unimaginable.


    ¡°No wonder it said that eighth rank cultivators need to be cautious when using it.¡±


    Only after three days and three nights did Zhao Feng resolve the situation. Even before all of the energy had been absorbed, Zhao Feng immediately ate the Burning Sun Bone Pill.


    The two were ice and fire and even though it was extremely painful, the effects were better. Zhao Feng circulated his Silver Wall Technique and Returning Breath Technique to absorb the chaotic energy.


    _Peh! Peh!_ __


    His left eye released sizzles of heat that spread out throughout his body. After the merging of the mysterious left eye, his potential and efficiency of energy absorbing had increased.


    _Eight days later..._


    The ice and fire pills were absorbed.


    _Hu!_


    Zhao Feng let out a breath as he stood up. As he did so, he could feel his bones and skin become tougher. The body was first strengthened from the outside, then to the inside where his liver was. The stronger his liver was, the more he could use his Inner Strength.


    ¡°The body is the foundation, even though I didn¡¯t focus on Returning Breath Technique, I could still feel my cultivation increase,¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    At this moment, his cultivation had reached the peak seventh rank and he was only half a step away from the eighth. At the same time, his Silver Wall Technique had also reached the peak seventh level.


    After Silver Wall Technique reached the seventh level, his organs had been strengthened and therefore, more of his potential had been released.


    ¡°He!¡± Zhao Feng exclaimed as he merged his Returning Breath Inner Strength into his Silver Wall Technique.


    _Weng~~_ __


    A faint silver layer of light suddenly appeared, which gave off a deep aura.


    The Silver Air Barrier had been formed!

 99 Banque

    Silver Air Barrier was a move which created a defensive barrier around the body and it was extremely effective against a large number of people.


    Obviously, the Silver Air Barrier had its weakness as well, and that was the energy expended!


    Most cultivators of the seventh rank would only use the Silver Air Barrier at a critical moment because it could last only a few dozen breaths. But being at the peak seventh rank and having trained the Returning Breath Technique, Zhao Feng could sustain it for twice that amount of time.


    ¡°The Silver Wall Technique has reached the peak seventh level, I can challenge the eighth ranks with just my muscles alone. If I use the Silver Air Barrier, even ninth ranks won¡¯t be able to injure me for a short amount of time,¡± Zhao Feng analyzed his strength.


    Under the ninth rank, there was generally no one his match unless they were on the same level with Bei Moi, who had trained a few Holy martial arts to a high level.


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng circulated his Silver Wall Technique to fully absorb the last remaining bits of medicine in his body.


    Four days later, the remaining energy had been absorbed by the Silver Wall Technique and it was only half a step away from the eighth level.


    ¡°If I use the Golden Body Strengthening Powder now, Silver Wall Technique can reach the eighth level as long as I bear the chaotic energy.¡± Light flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    After thinking for a long time, he decided to not do this.


    First, the Golden Body Strengthening Technique was too chaotic, half of the cultivators of the eighth rank who used it were crippled. The energy contained inside was half a tier higher than the Chilling Snow Body Pill and the Burning Sun Bone Pill.


    Second, the continuation of using resources meant that his body would start to resist the use of pills and not achieve the best effect. Therefore, Zhao Feng decided to slowly cultivate himself instead of using the Golden Body Strengthening Powder.


    For the next few days, he focused on cultivating Silver Wall Technique and at the same time, he tried to gain understanding from the Four Wind Stances and the Mysterious Wind Palm in the dimension of his left eye.


    After the beast horde, Zhao Feng¡¯s potential had once again been increased and both his Four Wind Stances and the Mysterious Wind Palm had major improvements.


    As time passed, Zhao Feng fully learned the Tornado Stance.


    The Tornado Stance could increase the power and area of an attack. Zhao Feng merged the Tornado Stance with Star Finger making the latter comparable to a Holy martial art.


    If he was able to merge the Tornado Stance with the Mysterious Wind Palm, maybe the power of it could even exceed normal Holy martial arts.


    Next, Zhao Feng began to look into the third move of the Four Wind Stance, the Partial Wind Stance.


    The Partial Wind Stance was an offensive skill, which wasn¡¯t hard nor easy to learn. In one day, Zhao Feng¡¯s understanding of the Partial Wind Stance reached a bottleneck at 30-40%.


    Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng went through his Holy martial arts.


    Mysterious Wind Palm had been generally fully leaned. Of the four Wind Stances, the first three had been learned. Compared to those, his Star Finger had progressed the best, reaching the sixth level, just one level away from the highest.


    ¡°There¡¯s still one month till the Clan entrance test, but my Silver Wall Technique still hasn¡¯t reached the eighth level yet,¡± Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    Right now, he was mainly focusing on his body instead of cultivation. As long as his foundation was strong, his cultivation would increase anyways, so he didn¡¯t focus on improving his cultivation or else he would¡¯ve already reached the eighth rank. But the problem was, the later stages of body strengthening techniques were much harder and they took a much longer time to improve.


    Zhao Feng let out a breath and walked out of his place to breathe in the fresh air and relax. It wasn¡¯t efficient to keep on cultivating, sometimes relaxation helped bottlenecks.


    ¡°Young Master Zhao, a few days ago, Young Master Bei Moi sent an invitation to you for you to join the banquet,¡± a servant said respectfully.


    _Bei Moi? Banquet?_


    Zhao Feng felt somewhat weird, why was there a banquet?


    The servant responded to his thoughts. ¡°A few days ago, Young Master Bei Moi reached the ninth rank without even reaching 16 years old, shocking the Guanjun Palace. Lord Guanjun has decided to hold a banquet for him.¡±


    Ninth rank!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. It wasn¡¯t hard to imagine that Bei Moi had also made major improvements after the beast horde, which helped him reach the ninth rank.


    In the past twenty years, there was no news of anyone reaching the ninth rank before sixteen years old within the Cloud Country. One had to know that many cultivators wouldn¡¯t even be able to reach the seventh rank in their entire lives, and every rank after the seventh rank was harder to reach.


    ¡°Not even sixteen years old and at the ninth rank¡­it¡¯s unfortunate to be in the same generation as Bei Moi¡­,¡± Zhao Feng sighed.


    Usually, geniuses such as Nan Gongfan and Feng Hanyue would be top tier in their generation, but after meeting Bei Moi, their spotlight was all taken by him.


    Zhao Feng asked, ¡°When¡¯s the banquet?¡±


    ¡°Tomorrow evening,¡± the servant replied as he bowed.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head as he felt a large amount of pressure in his heart. From the current situation, the gap between them had remained the same, even though he had increased by leaps and bounds.


    Returning to his room, Zhao Feng calmed down and continued to cultivate his Silver Wall Technique. Under the pressure of a super prodigy, a _peh peh_ sound came from within his left eye that released a weird aura into his body. An electric and numbing feeling appeared throughout his body as he trained his SIlver Wall Technique. Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped as he immediately fully circulated Silver Wall Technique.


    One day and night later, a faint black sticky liquid appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    _Hu!_ __


    His body felt extremely nice as he reached a entirely new level. At this moment, he released an invisible aura just from breathing.


    ¡°Silver Wall Technique had reached the eighth level under this situation.¡± Zhao Feng let out a breath with a joyful expression on his face.


    Usually, his Silver Wall Technique needed half a month to a few months to break through. But maybe because of the pressure from Bei Moi, his left eye ignited his potential.


    Zhao Feng was extremely confident that no one was his match under the ninth rank, and he was even able to face normal ninth ranks.


    _Creeek!_ __


    Zhao Feng smiled as he walked out of the room. Outside, a beautiful moon shone in the dark night sky.


    ¡°I almost forgot! Bei Moi¡¯s banquet is tonight¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart thumped.


    Looking at the time it seemed like the banquet had been going for a while now.


    _Teng!_


    Zhao Feng immediately headed towards the location of the banquet.


    In the dark night sky, a bright full moon made the stars seem dim. This scene seemed to symbolize Bei Moi taking the light of the other geniuses. The banquet¡¯s location was the Spiritual Martial Hall, and only a few people were invited. When Zhao Feng walked inside the Spiritual Martial Hall, he found that the banquet was coming to an end.


    Inside the hall, Lord Guanjun and all his disciples were present.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, why did you just arrive?¡± Nan Gongfan¡¯s eyebrow¡¯s raised.


    ¡°Greetings, Master! Congratulations, Brother Bei Moi!¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with Nan Gongfan as he went to greet Lord Guanjun and congratulate Bei Moi.


    Bei Moi¡¯s aura was even more powerful than before, proving that he had reached the ninth rank. Compared to when he was at the eighth rank, he was now twice as strong.


    Under the analysis of his left eye, Zhao Feng concluded that Bei Moi¡¯s strength was close to a half-step Holy martial artist. This meant that Bei Moi¡¯s strength had surpassed Ye Linyun and Third Guard, and almost no one was his match under the Holy martial rank.


    Lord Guanjun and Bei Moi didn¡¯t really mind that Zhao Feng was late. Lord Guanjun and Bei Moi, the master and disciple, were the focus of the banquet. Lord Guanjun smiled happily as he looked at Bei Moi with care, love,and expectation.


    Compared to him the other disciples such as Nan Gongfan, Zhao Feng, and Yang Qingshan were like the leaves of a flower.


    ¡°There¡¯s still one month till the entrance examination of the Broken Moon Clan. Disciple here will definitely fulfill Master¡¯s wish,¡± Bei Moi promised, he could feel the expectation and care from Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°You¡¯re Master¡¯s best disciple and I believe that you can walk even further after entering the clan," Lord Guanjun nodded his head, smiling.


    The banquet had come to the end, leaving behind Lord Guanjun and his six disciples. Even people such as Ye Linyun had retreated, which made Zhao Feng think that Lord Guanjun was going to say something important to his disciples.


    ¡°You all know that there¡¯s still one month till the entrance examination of the Broken Moon Clan and Master here only has 3 recommendations. In ten days time, I will choose 3 people depending on your strength and potential,¡± Lord Guanjun went straight into the topic.


    Everyone¡¯s heart shook when they heard this. Even though they all had the same master, they needed to fight one another for the 3 spots.


    6 people, 3 recommendations!


    In the midst of them, Bei Moi easily took up one spot. This meant that out of Yang Qingshan, Nan Gongfan, Feng Hanyue, Zhao Feng, and Zhao Yufei, only two of them would be chosen.

 100 Unwanted Gues

    After walking out of the Spiritual Martial Hall, the youths were all silent. After what Master had just said, they were now competing against each other.


    ¡°Only ten days time¡­¡±


    Feng Hanyue clenched his fists together and glanced sideways at Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan. Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan were both at the late stages of the eighth rank and if there weren¡¯t any accidents, the other two recommendations would go to them.


    On the other hand, Feng Hanyue, Zhao Feng, and Zhao Yufei were all at the peak of the seventh rank. Zhao Feng was extremely calm, he had complete confidence that he was able to take one spot, but he was worried for Zhao Yufei. Next to him, Zhao Yufei looked sadly at him, which confirmed Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts of her giving up.


    Through his left eye, he estimated Zhao Yufei¡¯s strength, and she didn¡¯t have much of a chance.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Do you remember my challenge? We¡¯ll settle it out in the Clan. Of course, that¡¯s if you get in¡­¡± Bei Moi looked playfully towards Zhao Feng.


    It was obvious that he didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng was doing well in the current situation.


    First, Zhao Feng¡¯s talent and cultivation was lower than Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan. Second, it was another problem if he could pass the test with a Half-Spiritual Body. Therefore, the actual chance of the two settling it out was quite low.


    ¡°There will be that day.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was confident as he walked away, leaving Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan behind.


    ¡°Where does the confidence come from? What sort of trick does he have to take our spots?¡± Nan Gongfan mocked.


    Yang Qingshan, on the other hand had a solemn expression as he looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s back.


    The six youths immediately started cultivating the second they returned home. For the last ten days, Feng Hanyue, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei were all using the time available to try and break through. Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan didn¡¯t dare to be overconfident, so they both consolidated and tried to increase their strength.


    The one most relaxed was Bei Moi. He had no pressure at all, it was almost certain that he would get in the Clan, but even then he only got to relax for two days.


    After all, Lord Guanjun personally taught him which was a treatment that Zhao Feng and the others wouldn¡¯t receive. Therefore, in the last ten days, the six geniuses all had certain breakthroughs under the pressure.


    On the fifth day, Zhao Feng reached the eighth rank. He didn¡¯t even try that hard to increase his cultivation, since his main focus was still Silver Wall Technique.


    On the seventh day, Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei both reached the eighth rank.


    The ten days passed in a blink of an eye. On the morning of the tenth day, the six youths returned to the Spiritual Martial Hall.


    Lord Guanjun stood with his hands behind his back and on either side stood Ye Linyun and the one-armed Third Guard.


    The six youths stood in a row with Bei Moi at the front, waiting for their Master.


    ¡°Not bad.¡± Lord Guanjun scanned the six youths and nodded his head in satisfaction. All of them had reached the eighth rank with Bei Moi at the ninth.


    It could be said that any one of the six could dominate an entire small city.


    ¡°Master, have you confirmed the three recommendations?¡± Ye Linyun said expectantly.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve decided to give the three spots to Bei Moi, Yang Qingshan, and Nan Gongfan,¡± Lord Guanjun said deeply.


    Hearing this, the expressions of Feng Hanyue, Zhao Feng, and Zhao Yufei changed while happiness appeared on Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan.


    Zhao Feng was pretty surprised, he didn¡¯t think that Master would make this decision so easily. He first thought that they were going to spar with each other, then choose the strongest three.


    ¡°Master, aren¡¯t you going to give the other three a chance?¡± Ye Linyun was stunned.


    Third Guard, who had lost an arm, also raised his eyebrows. It didn¡¯t seem like the way Master usually acted. Lord Guanjun smiled faintly, but his expression suddenly changed right as he was about to speak.


    ¡°Who!?¡± Lord Guanjun exclaimed as his voice resounded through the hall. At the same time, his sight landed on a garden near the Spiritual Martial Hall.


    ¡°Hehehe¡­ Uncle Xu, long time no see!¡±Laughter appeared from the garden.


    _Shua!_


    A youth clothed in black stripes landed on the field like a dragonfly. This handsome youth was 27-28 years old and had a queer aura. He was extremely confident as he looked smilingly at Lord Guanjun and Bei Moi.


    As their sights met, Lord Guanjun¡¯s figure trembled as if he was wary of something.


    ¡°The clothes on him¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng stared at the clothes of the mysterious youth. It was a black striped shirt that seemed familiar. Soon the images of three youths in the canyon came to him.


    The clothes of this youth in front of him was the same as the three from that day.


    ¡°Who dares to trespass the important grounds of the Guanjun Palace?¡± Ye Linyun exclaimed as his Inner Strength surged.


    _Ceng Ceng!_


    At the same time, the other three Guanjuan Corpsmen present, including Third Guard leapt at the mysterious youth.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s urgent voice sounded in the Corpsmen''s ears. Third Guard, who was just about to make his move stopped, but the other two Guanjun Corps weren¡¯t able to stop in time as their attacks landed on the mysterious youth.


    _Tok! Tok!_ __


    A cold flash of light in the sharp of a curved moon swiped across the two Guanjun Corps.


    _Wu~_ __


    A fountain of blood appeared on the two Guanjun Corpsmen who were almost at the ninth rank. In the blink of an eye, two Guanjun Corpsmen had died.


    Ye Linyun, Bei Moi, and the others didn¡¯t even see how the youth moved. Because Zhao Feng didn¡¯t manage to open his left eye in time, he only saw a blur.


    ¡°Thirteenth Guard! Fourteenth Guard!¡± The one-armed Third Guard stared at the corpses of the other two.


    The people present all took in a cold breath as they stared at the mysterious youth.


    ¡°Stand down!¡± Lord Guanjun shouted and signaled for them to back away.


    Bei Moi and the others all moved out of the field without hesitation, leaving behind only Lord Guanjun and the mysterious youth behind. Everyone held their breaths as they looked at the handsome young man.


    Who was he? Why would Master be wary of him?


    Suspicions rose in the six youth¡¯s hearts. Only Zhao Feng understood to a certain degree.


    ¡°Nephew Quan Chen, what is the meaning of this?¡± Lord Guanjun stared angrily at the youth in front of him.


    ¡°I came here this time to greet Uncle Xu Ran and to test a genius you took under your wing,¡± Quan Chen said casually. From the beginning till now, he had a carefree attitude.


    Uncle Xu Ran?


    Zhao Feng finally knew Lord Guanjun¡¯s real name.


    ¡°Thanks for his care! I¡¯m the outer supervisor of the mortal world. When did your Master have any rights to take care of my business?¡± Lord Guanjun snickered.


    Zhao Feng felt that the Master behind Quan Chen and Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t seem to have a good relationship.


    ¡°Hahaha, Master reached the True Spirit Realm half a year ago and became the only elder promoted in ten years. I¡¯m under orders from him to check this place out, are there any problems?¡± Quan Cheng smiled.


    True Spirit Realm!


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s heart jumped. ¡°How could he have reached the True Spirit Realm so fast!?¡±


    At this point, Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t have anything to say, as if he couldn¡¯t accept this reality.


    ¡°You¡¯re called Bei Moi?¡± Quan Chen turned towards Bei Moi with interest.


    _Shua!_


    Bei Moi only felt a rush of wind and before he could do anything a hand appeared on his shoulder.


    ¡°Release me¡­¡± Bei Moi¡¯s face was red as he tried to struggle, but he found that the Inner Strength inside him had been sealed.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    Lord Guanjun immediately flew over and a sharp silver glow appeared on his arms.


    _Shoooook!_ __


    The full power of a Holy martial artist flew at Quan Chen. Quan Chen smiled and he let go of Bei Moi as a cold moon symbol appeared on his hands, which clashed with Lord Guanjun¡¯s move.


    _ Zzzzzz~ _


    The remaining energy swept up everything nearby and destroyed the building in an instant. A large hole appeared where the two exchanged moves.


    _Shua! Shua!_ __


    The two figures flew into the air and exchanged lightning-fast blows.


    _Peng! Boom! Bam¡­_


    The cultivators nearby only felt figures teleport through the air and everywhere they went an extremely loud sound would appear.


    ¡°Is this a fight between Holy martial artists¡­?¡±


    Through Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, he could see the process of the two fighting and he moved back and forth to make sure he wasn¡¯t hit by the residual energy.


    _Pah----_ __


    At a certain moment, an extremely loud thumping sound appeared as the two figures landed back on the ground.


    ¡°Uncle, your cultivation hasn¡¯t seem to improve in the the couple of years we haven¡¯t met.¡±


    Quan Chen landed on the ground with his hands behind his back with a dazzling smile.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Lord Guanjun managed to say as a streak of blood leaked out of his mouth.

 101 Betrayal!

    The scene caused the others to stare in shock. Who would have thought that the legendary Lord Guanjun would be beaten so easily by a youth?


    ¡°Master!¡± Ye Linyun and the others exclaimed as they ran to Lord Guanjun¡¯s side. The group of people stared angrily at Quan Chen, but it still couldn¡¯t hide the fear in their hearts.


    ¡°None of you attack!¡± Lord Guanjun steadied himself and told his disciples.


    He was only barely able to stand by himself. Looking at his figure, Zhao Feng found something in his heart move. If there wasn¡¯t Lord Guanjun, all of them would only have the destiny of being killed mercilessly.


    ¡°Uncle Xu, I¡¯m not a killing maniac,¡± Quan Chen smiled as his eyes landed upon Bei Moi.


    _Shua!_ __


    His figure disappeared as he instantly appeared in front of Bei Moi.


    ¡°What do you¡­?¡± Bei Moi¡¯s expression changed as he realized that his Inner Strength had been sealed. Quan Chen stood in front of him, but he didn¡¯t make any further moves.


    ¡°Brother Bei Moi, you¡¯re Uncle Xu Ran¡¯s core disciple, so you should know that the nine ranks of the Martial Path are just a foundation. Only at the Holy Martial Path does it truly begin¡­¡± Quan Chen¡¯s voice was calm and soothing.


    The others present such as Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have a clue about what he meant.


    ¡°I know.¡±


    Bei Moi tried to break through the seal in body without any sounds. ¡°The nine ranks of the Martial Path are known as the Consolidation Realm, with the meaning of strengthening the foundation. After the Consolidation Realm is the Ascended Realm, and then the True Spirit Realm. The Ascended Realm is known as the Holy Martial Path in the mortal world, when one exceeds the limits of mortals¡­¡±


    Consolidated Realm, Ascended Realm, True Spirit Realm¡­


    His analysis drew Zhao Feng and the others go into deep thought. It was hard to imagine that the nine ranks of the Martial Path were only a realm of foundation.


    ¡°The world is bigger than you think. Your Master is only at the Second Sky of the Ascended Realm and he is just an ant in the Clan,¡± Quan Chen said mockingly.


    An ant? The disciples all turned angry.


    ¡°Don¡¯t humiliate my Master!¡± Ye Linyun and Yang Qingshan both screamed.


    Quan Chen had the same casual smile on and he didn¡¯t bother explaining. Even though he was alone, he still held the advantage against almost ten cultivators of the ninth rank and a Holy martial artist. Lord Guanjun¡¯s side didn¡¯t dare to make any rash moves.


    ¡°This is strength! If one has enough strength, they won¡¯t even need to fear an entire Province City.¡± Zhao Feng was shocked and helpless at the same time. The youth right in front of him had the power to crush the entire Guanjun Palace City under his foot.


    ¡°Look, your Master didn¡¯t even disagree with me. He¡¯s just an underling of the Clan, a talented genius such as you would be limited by having someone such as him as your Master,¡± Quan Chen said slowly.


    Bei Moi¡¯s face was flushed red as he tried to break the seals inside his body, but failed time and time again.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± Bei Moi finally gave up.


    He had to admit that this youth in front of him had power surpassing his Master¡¯s, and the young man had said Master had exceeded the Ascended Realm, reaching the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°My Master is someone who has reached the True Spirit Realm and an elder of the Broken Moon Clan. He holds the power to look down on the heavens, that is a true powerful person!¡± Quan Chen¡¯s voice had excitement and admiration in it.


    True Spirit Realm. This was a realm that even Lord Guanjun would bow down to.


    Quan Chen¡¯s words made Lord Guanjun speechless. Maybe what Quan Chen spoke was the truth.


    At this moment, both sides were quiet.


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes twinkled sadly as he sighed, ¡°Bei Moi, you can make the decision.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha¡­Uncle Xu! You¡¯re so cooperative, do you think that you¡¯re worthy to be Bei Moi¡¯s Master as well?¡± Quan Chen¡¯s laughter was arrogant.


    Soon he turned once again to Bei Moi. ¡°My teacher is known as Hai Yun Master and he is giving you the chance to let him be your Master, are you willing?¡±


    Master? This¡­


    Hesitation showed on Bei Moi¡¯s face.


    ¡°If you agree and become a disciple of an elder, you can become an inner disciple straight away. This way, you will have a higher starting point and you will have the chance to meet true geniuses across the continent¡­¡± Quan Chen¡¯s voice was extremely persuasive.


    The hearts of Zhao Feng and the others not far away started to sway as well. What would be the true stage of the world be like? Back at Sun Feather City, Zhao Feng already had great expectations of the outside world.


    ¡°If you become a disciple of an elder, you will have a greater future,¡± Quan Chen¡¯s voice softened.


    He didn¡¯t attack Bei Moi, instead, he talked about the outside world. At this moment, Bei Moi¡¯s decision was to either become a lowly outer disciple or to become the disciple of an elder.


    ¡°Hehehe, you should also know one more thing. Xu Ran isn¡¯t on friendly terms with my teacher, Hai Yun Master. If you enter the Clan as his disciple, I can promise that you won¡¯t have a good future,¡± Quan Chen¡¯s smile was cold enough to make the youths hiccup.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to imagine that Lord Guanjun and Quan Chen¡¯s teacher had a bad relationship. If one was a disciple of Lord Guanjun and entered the Clan, they would be suppressed and their future blocked. No matter how high Bei Moi¡¯s talent was, he was an still an ant in the eyes of an elder. If the elder wanted to suppress him and stop him from growing, it would be simple.


    Hearing this, cold sweat appeared on Bei Moi¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°What¡¯s your decision?¡± Quan Chen gently swiped his hands and opened the seal suppressing Bei Moi¡¯s Inner Strength.


    Hesitation and struggle appeared on Bei Moi¡¯s face as he looked at Lord Guanjun and Quan Chen. The other disciples were about to shout at him, but Lord Guanjun stopped them.


    Finally, Bei Moi said expressionlessly, ¡°I am willing to follow Hai Yun Master.¡±


    After making this decision, he expressionlessly took the sweating and cursing from the others.


    ¡°Good good! A thousand years later you will not regret this decision!¡± A satisfied look appeared on Quan Chen¡¯s face, then he immediately appeared in front of Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°Uncle Xu Ran, I¡¯m here to take this disciple who is willing to come with me away. There shouldn¡¯t be any problems right?¡± Quan Chen had a smug expression on as he looked at Lord Guanjun.


    In his eyes was playfulness as he admired Lord Guanjun¡¯s helpless expression.


    ¡°Go.¡± Lord Guanjun was pale faced as he waved his hands, it seemed like he had aged 20 years in an instant.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng and the others had unwillingness in their eyes, they all knew how much care and anticipation Lord Guanjun had put on Bei Moi.


    At this moment, a super genius had been taken away right in front of his eyes by the enemy, how could he not be sad?


    Zhao Feng seemed to hear the blood dripping in Lord Guanjun¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Xu Ran! Teacher told me to tell you something. You shall be stepped on by him for your entire life. Your woman and disciple will be taken by him as well!¡± Quan Chen said coldly before he left.


    Wah!


    Lord Guanjun almost fainted from anger.


    ¡°You shall be stepped on by him for your entire life. Your woman and disciple will be taken by him too!¡±


    The sentences echoed throughout the hall twice.


    The hearts of Zhao Feng and the others turned cold, it was hard to imagine what Lord Guanjun had gone through back at the Clan. Lord Guanjun would be defeated time and time again by ''that person'' and even lost the woman he loved to him.


    He had spent so much time and effort to raise a genius who could beat ¡°that person¡±, but this disciple of his had been taken by the opposition as well.


    ¡°This is an unfair fight, that Hai Yun Master¡¯s just playing around with Master.¡± Righteous anger surged in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart.


    He was just an outer disciple of Lord Guanjun, so there wasn¡¯t many feelings between them, but at this moment, he had the urge to deal justice to the the opponent.


    Sending away Bei Moi and Quan Chen with their eyes, the morale of the remaining people was low.


    Ye Linyun, Yang Qinshan, Nan Gongfan were all angry as swore and cursed Bei Moi for betraying Master.


    ¡°Don¡¯t blame Bei Moi,¡± Lord Guanjun said bitterly.


    ¡°Master, why are you still defending that bastard?¡± Nan Gongfan said angrily.


    Lord Guanjun took in a deep breath as said: ¡°Bei Moi is very smart. With his potential, he cultivation might¡¯ve been crippled if he didn¡¯t agree. Because a genius like him would be taken in by the upper class of the Clan, which is something that Hai Yun Master doesn¡¯t want to see.¡±


    Hearing Lord Guanjun¡¯s analysis, Zhao Feng and the others understood immediately. Betrayal or crippled forever was not a choice at all. Bei Mo had not had any choice at all.


    Lord Guanjun seemed much older as he looked at the remaining disciples. ¡°Bei Moi¡¯s gone, but there will still be three recommendations.¡±


    Now that Bei Moi had left, the competition was lower, which was a good thing for the other disciples.


    ¡°The potential of yours is far lower than Bei Moi¡¯s. Once you enter the Clan, Hai Yun Master won¡¯t trouble you much personally as long as you don¡¯t perform too well, but the other disciples in the Clan will¡­¡± Lord Guanjun¡¯s voice was helpless.


    He didn¡¯t have much hope for the remaining disciples, he was just doing his duty as their teacher.

 102 Decision and Departure

    The disciples fell silent on the broken Martial Arts Field.


    Zhao Feng saw the last ray of hope disappear in Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes. This legendary figure seemed to have aged 30 years in an instant.


    Zhao Feng knew that Bei Moi was Lord Guanjun¡¯s only hope and that he didn¡¯t have many expectations for the other disciples.


    At this moment, the disciples fell into deep thought. The next decision they made would affect their destiny.


    Any genius would love to enter the Clan, but the problem was they might face problems if they did enter.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to imagine that this path would be much harder and challenging, but Zhao Feng felt a burning flame ignite inside him. A faint azure light appeared in his left eye, which seemed to jump around like fire.


    ¡°I¡¯m willing to give this path a try no matter how hard it is! I¡¯ll make that bastard Bei Moi regret it!¡± Yang Qingshan clenched his teeth and said righteously.


    His decision moved Zhao Feng, it looked like the others didn¡¯t give up. In the midst of these disciples, Yang Qingshan was the one most honest and loyal.


    ¡°I also won¡¯t give up! There¡¯s only one entrance examination every five years,¡± Nan Gongfan soon answered as well after some thought.


    In front of them was a new gate, most cultivators wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to enter it. Usually the entrance test for the Clan was every five years, sometimes even ten. Once they missed this chance, they might regret it for their entire lives.


    ¡°I won¡¯t miss this chance either,¡± Feng Hanyue nodded his head in agreement.


    Finally, it was Zhao Feng¡¯s turn. ¡°I¡¯ve agreed to Bei Moi¡¯s promise, so I won¡¯t break it.¡±


    Nan Gongfan and the others soon remembered that the two would settle it out in the Clan, but they just smiled and they didn¡¯t put it to heart.


    Lord Guanjun sighed as he looked at his disciples. He understood how they felt, but Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t think that their future prospects would be good.


    ¡°Next, the few of you will fight for the three recommendations,¡± Lord Guanjun said expressionlessly.


    When Bei Moi was here, there was three spots for the six of them. Now there were five.


    _Hm? Wait!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he scanned his surroundings. Apart from Lord Guanjun, there was only Yang Qingshan, Nan Gongfan, Feng Hanyue and himself.


    There was someone missing!


    ¡°Sister Yufei has disappeared!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s exclaimed in shock.


    The others present finally realized that she had disappeared. Because of the fight between the Holy martial artists before no one seemed to realize that someone had vanished.


    ¡°Send everyone to find her! Look inside the destroyed rooms!¡± Lord Guanjun immediately ordered.


    Ye Linyun and Third Guard instantly started to search around. The battle between Lord Guanjun and Quan Chen had destroyed many buildings and Zhao Yufei may have been hit by the residual energy.


    Everyone combined their efforts and cleared the nearby area.


    ¡°Nope! No sign of anyone at all!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no lead within the battle area!¡±


    After searching for a while, still no one had seen Zhao Yufei''s figure.


    Lord Guanjun said deeply, ¡°When I fought Quan Chen, we did our best to not to kill innocent bystanders, so she shouldn¡¯t have been injured.¡±


    Even if Zhao Yufei died, there should be at least a corpse, but right now there was no figure of Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Did she evaporate? Impossible!¡± Zhao Feng was extremely anxious.


    ¡°Increase the searching range!¡± Lord Guanjun ordered. Quickly, Ye Linyun led a few hundred elite troops in a search.


    The result was that not a single trace of her was found. To find Zhao Yufei, the Guanjun Palace sent out thousands of men.


    ¡°A live person can¡¯t disappear like this!¡± Zhao Feng took in a deep breath.


    _Teng!_ __


    With a jump he landed on an extremely tall tree and then jumped onto the highest building of the Guanjun Palace.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, what are you doing?¡±


    The others below were slightly puzzled, but Ye Linyun and Feng Hanyue knew a bit of the situation.


    ¡°Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei both come from the same family and they have a good relationship,¡± Ye Linyun said to Lord Guanjun.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes became sharp as he surveyed the entire Guanjun Palace. His enhanced vision soon scanned the entire Guanjun Palace.


    Ten breaths later, Zhao Feng¡¯s sight extended from in the Guanjun Palace to the outside.


    At a certain point in time, his sight locked in on a street fifteen kilometers away. A familiar figure came into view.


    In the corner of the street, a beautiful young girl and a one-armed old man stood together.


    ¡°Grandfather, why did you take me away?¡± Zhao Yufei looked unwillingly back at the Guanjun Palace.


    The one armed old man sighed: ¡°First, Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t find out your true potential. Second, Grandfather didn¡¯t know that he had enmities with someone of the True Spirit Realm, therefore the Broken Moon Clan doesn¡¯t suit you.¡±


    ¡°But Brother Zhao Feng¡­¡± Zhao Yufei seemed to worry for someone.


    ¡°Relax, with his potential, the cultivator of the True Spirit Realm won¡¯t even put him in his eyes. Sometimes, having a low potential isn¡¯t a bad thing,¡± the one-armed old man said mockingly.


    Zhao Yufei knew what her grandfather meant, but she felt that Zhao Feng¡¯s potential wasn¡¯t as simple as a half-spiritual body.


    After exchanging a few words, the two then headed outside of the Guanjun Province City.


    They didn¡¯t know that they had been seen by Zhao Feng. Although the latter could see them, he couldn¡¯t hear what they were saying, but knowing Zhao Yufei was fine, he let out a breath.


    ¡°Everyone has their own path.¡± Zhao Feng was about to follow them but decided not to at the last moment.


    After all, Zhao Yufei wasn¡¯t forced to go. The person that took her away was her grandfather, and Zhao Feng already felt that he wasn¡¯t as simple as he seemed back at the Zhao family, as he was able to take Zhao Yufei away in the chaos without being discovered.


    After confirming that Zhao Yufei was safe, Zhao Feng returned back to the Spiritual Martial Hall.


    On that day, the forces of the Guanjun Palace soon expanded across the entire Guanjun Province City and they finally did find traces of her. It was said that an one-armed old man was travelling with her.


    ¡°The old man was already very mysterious back at the Zhao family," Zhao Feng explained, which stopped the forces searching for her.


    Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t think too much about this. His core disciple had been taken away, so what use was an outer disciple to him?


    But even then, he still had to perform his duty as her teacher.


    ¡°Now the four of you will fight for the three spots.¡± Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes scanned the four people present.


    Yang Qingshan had the highest talent among them, but was still far off compared to Bei Moi. After him was Nan Gongfan, then Feng Hanyue, and finally Zhao Feng.


    The decision was: Yang Qingshan, Nan Gongfan, and Feng Hanyue.


    Lord Guanjun made these choices as talent decided how far someone could go, but Zhao Feng still had a chance to challenge someone.


    When Bei Moi was still here, Lord Guanjun was going the give the remaining disciples chances to challenge someone, but he was disrupted by that unwanted guest.


    ¡°I choose to challenge Nan Gongfan.¡± Zhao Feng said without hesitation. Among the other three, he disliked Nan Gongfan the most.


    ¡°You choose to challenge me?¡± Nan Gongfan was slightly surprised.


    Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan had both reached the late stages of the eighth rank. They originally thought that he would challenge Feng Hanyue because he had a higher chance of winning.


    Feng Hanyue let out a breath. He was more wary of Zhao Feng than Nan Gongfan.


    ¡°Start,¡± Ye Linyun announced.


    Lord Guanjun and Ye Linyun were both present and the latter was very expectant of Zhao Feng¡¯s performance, while Lord Guanjun was extremely bored. But everyone understood that Lord Guanjun had lost the disciple he was proudest of.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, today we can finally fight with our full strength.¡± Nan Gongfan had a smile on his lips as he thought about how he should punish Zhao Feng. Last time when they sparred, he lost face when he suppressed his cultivation to Zhao Feng¡¯s level and lost.


    Now, they could fight without restrictions.


    Godly Suction Force!


    Nan Gongfan waved his sleeve and a weird white smoke appeared that swept towards his surroundings.


    _Hu~_ __


    Instantly, the dust on the ground was attracted towards Nan Gonfan. Even cultivators of the ninth rank had to be wary of this move, because it was a Holy Martial Art!


    However, the youth facing Nan Gongfan didn¡¯t move at all, it was as if his legs were stuck to the ground.


    No movement at all!


    The Holy Martial Art Godly Suction Force couldn¡¯t move Zhao Feng, and this was under the situation that Nan Gongfan¡¯s cultivation was higher than Zhao Feng¡¯s!


    Ye Linyun, Yang Qingshan, and Feng Hanyue were all stunned. Only Lord Guanjun was calm, and even though surprise flashed in his eyes, he said nothing.


    Tornado Stance! Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng used his Star Finger of the 6th level that was merged with the Tornado Stance.


    _Shua-----_ __


    Instantly a piercing whistling sound appeared as a streak of azure light flashed through the air like a meteor. The hearts of everyone present jumped as they saw the finger.


    What a strong move!


    Ye Linyun had the feeling that this move would even threaten cultivators of the ninth rank, while Yang Qingshan and Feng Hanyue felt that the move was unstoppable.


    _Peewww!_ __


    Nan Gongfan¡¯s heart clenched as he watched his Godly Suction Force be pierced by the one finger!

 103 Recommendation Confirmed

    Zhao Feng¡¯s one finger stunned all those who were watching. The youths had a feeling that it was unstoppable, Yang Qingshan even felt that a ''Bei Moi'' had appeared again. A bright light even flashed in Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes before they returned back to their dim state.


    _Shua!_ __


    Zhao Feng¡¯s lightning-fast finger pierced past Nan Gongfan¡¯s Godly Suction Force and forced the latter to retreat.


    In just one move, it was clear who had the advantage.


    Suction Force Wind!


    Nan Gongfan immediately used his Holy martial art again, not fighting Zhao Feng head on because he found that Zhao Feng¡¯s attack was just way too powerful.


    Star Finger was at the sixth level, just one level from the top. This meant that Zhao Feng had trained this half-Holy martial art to almost the peak level. The most terrifying thing was that Zhao Feng had merged the Tornado Stance into it, and he made Star Finger even stronger, which allowed him to win perfectly in one move!


    _I only merged 50-60% of the Tornado Stance into Star Finger and it already has such power_ , Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    After their first exchange, Nan Gongfan immediately used his Suction Force Wind to increase his speed. _When did this guy become so strong? He¡¯s even more terrifying than Yang Qingshan._


    Nan Gongfan tried to test Zhao Feng out. If that move before was Zhao Feng¡¯s killer move, then he would be able to win, but if that one finger was a normal attack¡­


    Flowing Wind Stance! Smoking Transparent Step!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed skill suddenly changed and his figure disappeared. Without sound, he flowed with the wind and he was able to use Smoking Transparent Step to a frightening degree. Zhao Feng was even able to use the wind of Nan Gongfan¡¯s Godly Suction Force skill to help his speed skill.


    Nan Gongfan was immediately scared, unable to see where Zhao Feng was.


    Tornado Stance! Star Finger!


    The screeching sound appeared once again and its power was a bit higher than the previous one. A chill appeared in Nan Gongfan¡¯s heart as he urgently used his Holy Martial art to block Zhao Feng¡¯s move.


    As the two moves collided, a wave of air was sent outwards.


    _Shua!_ __


    Nan Gongfan felt pain in his arm. There was a hole in his sleeve and blood was dripping out of it.


    In just three moves, Nan Gongfan had already been injured and for the next few moves, Zhao Feng still surpassed him in terms of speed and power. Nan Gongfan was so pressured that he couldn¡¯t breathe properly and even though he tried his best, he still wasn¡¯t able to injure Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Suction Force Wind Spike!¡±


    Nan Gongfan released his strongest attack while in a desperate situation. Instantly, the white smoke formed spikes which streaked at Zhao Feng. The power of it could even threaten cultivators at the ninth rank.


    Silver Air Barrier!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t move at all as a half-transparent silver glow appeared around him and with a _clang_ , it blocked Nan Gongfan¡¯s most powerful attack.


    The Silver Air Barrier wasn¡¯t broken at all. This meant that Nan Gongfan¡¯s strongest attack couldn¡¯t even break through Zhao Feng¡¯s defense.


    ¡°What terrifying defense! We wouldn¡¯t be able to break it in a short amount of time even if we all attacked at once,¡± Yang Qingshan looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    ¡°You¡¯re able to train Silver Wall Technique to such a level!¡± Ye Linyun was extremely excited. He had to admit that he had high expectations towards Zhao Feng, and the latter surpassed what he expected every time.


    ¡°Not bad.¡± The expressionless Lord Guanjun finally spoke up.


    At Lord Guanjun¡¯s height, he could see that Zhao Feng merged Holy martial arts into his attacks, but these Holy martial arts were much harder to understand than other Holy martial arts and right now, a genius right before his eyes could merge them into his own moves.


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng won, the entire sparring didn¡¯t even last ten moves.


    Nan Gongfan looked like he had just lost his soul, the shock was just too big for him. He couldn¡¯t and wouldn¡¯t believe that he had lost to someone with lower cultivation, age, and talent.


    But this was reality, even if he didn¡¯t want to believe it, he had to deal with it.


    ¡°It¡¯s all right, even Bei Moi lost to him in some aspects,¡± Yang Qingshan comforted him in a low tone. Hearing him say this, Nan Gongfan felt slightly better.


    That¡¯s right, even a super prodigy such as Bei Moi had lost to Zhao Feng in some aspects.


    In terms of memory, Bei Moi had lost. During the sparring match, Zhao Feng had broken Bei Moi¡¯s record of ''perfect defense''. Bei Moi¡¯s battle points were much lower than Zhao Feng¡¯s during the beast horde. Finally, Bei Moi even challenged Zhao Feng to settle it out in the Clan, and the latter had accepted without hesitation.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! This guy¡¯s just a monster, but luckily, his talent isn¡¯t that high.¡± Thinking up to that point, Nan Gongfan¡¯s heart felt better again. Yang Qingshan¡¯s words also made the others consider things.


    In terms of talent, Zhao Feng was far away from Bei Moi, he wasn¡¯t even higher than Nan Gongfan. But under this situation, Zhao Feng could still beat Bei Moi in some aspects. Thinking of this, Ye Linyun and Lord Guanjun exchanged glances.


    A faint flicker of hope appeared in Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes, but it was soon extinguished.


    It was obvious that he didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng could replace Bei Moi. Having a Clan background made Lord Guanjun realize how important talent was to cultivators.


    After beating Nan Gongfan, Zhao Feng now had a spot. The others even thought that he was even stronger than Yang Qingshan.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye caught the change in Lord Guanjun¡¯s expression, but even though his performance was great, it didn¡¯t seem like he could replace the super prodigy Bei Moi.


    After Nan Gongfan lost, he still had a chance to challenge someone.


    ¡°I choose Feng Hanyue.¡± Nan Gongfan was calmer than expected. He knew that he couldn¡¯t beat Zhao Feng and he would lose more than he won when fighting Yang Qingshan, therefore he could only challenge Feng Hanyue.


    He surpassed Feng Hanyue in cultivation, talent. and had better martial arts.


    Soon, the battle took place on the field.


    Nan Gongfan and Feng Hanyue fought up to fifty moves before Feng Hanyue lost, even though he had tried his best. The difference between the two was just too great.


    ¡°Ok, the three recommendations are now confirmed. Feng Hanyue, don¡¯t be disappointed, I still hope that you will become my successor,¡± Lord Guanjun¡¯s voice was calm. No matter what had happened before, he had received a small surprise.


    After confirming their spots, Zhao Feng, Yang Qingshan, and Nan Gongfan would enter the examination in twenty days.


    The disciples left one after another.


    ¡°Zhao Feng stay behind,¡± Lord Guanjun kept him behind alone.


    *************************


    _Spiritual Martial Hall, inside a room..._


    There was only Zhao Feng and Lord Guanjun left behind.


    ¡°Your Master¡¯s name is Xu Ran and I entered the Broken Moon Clan long ago, but I was unable to reach the Ascended Realm before the age of 30. After that, I became in charge of the duties of the mortal world in Guanjun Province City¡­,¡± Lord Guanjun described his past.


    Zhao Feng realized that even though Lord Guanjun had reached the Ascended Realm, which was also the Holy Martial Path, he still wasn¡¯t able to become a core member of the Clan.


    Lord Guanjun had entered the Clan at a young age and he had created a feud with a talented youth. The other student had humiliated him and even took away the woman he loved.


    Lord Guanjun always kept this in his heart and he trained harder than ever, but he was still unable to catch up to that youth. On the contrary, the gap between them became bigger and bigger.


    Lord Guanjun was unwilling to give up and so he used his forces to find geniuses across the country.


    ¡°Because I can¡¯t complete this wish of mine, I had to rely on younger generation geniuses because the older generation will pass away and the future will be filled with those of the younger generation. If my disciple would be able to defeat that person, it would be satisfactory,¡± Lord Guanjun finally told the entire story.


    Zhao Feng knew that the youth Lord Guanjun talked about was Hai Yun Master.


    ¡°Why did Master just keep me behind and tell me this?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Because I¡¯ve seen too many surprises from you, and you can beat Bei Moi in some aspects. Maybe you will have a ten percent chance to settle it out with Bei Moi one day,¡± Lord Guanjun said smiling.


    Ten percent chance?


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t think so. Even though Bei Moi¡¯s talent was extremely high and he felt extremely pressured, he didn¡¯t think that he only had a ten percent chance.


    ¡°If I didn¡¯t see incorrectly your Silver Wall Technique has reached the eighth level. In terms of body strengthening, you''re stronger than Bei Moi. If you¡¯re able to get the Nine Twist Golden Wall Technique after entering the Broken Moon Clan, you¡¯ll have a much higher chance¡­¡±


    Expectation flashed in Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes.


    Nine Twist Golden Wall Technique?


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help, but click his tongue, it seemed like this Nine Twist Golden Wall Technique was the final evolution of the Silver Wall Technique.


    The Silver Wall Technique was already a Holy martial art, how strong could the Nine Twist Golden Wall Technique be?


    ¡°Obviously, it¡¯s very hard to get the Nine Twist Golden Wall Technique. It is an extremely famous skill of the Broken Moon Clan, some inner disciple aren¡¯t even allowed to train it.¡± Lord Guanjun shook his head.


    Hearing him say this, Zhao Feng knew that it was going to be really hard to get that skill, but he still made the decision to get that skill no matter what, even if it meant stealing it.


    ¡°Master, can I test out my potential again with the crystal ball?¡± Zhao Feng suddenly asked.


    Last time, Zhao Feng¡¯s score was five and a half circles, which meant that he was a half Spiritual body.

 104 True Talen

    Zhao Feng¡¯s request made Lord Guanjun shake his head. ¡°Everyone¡¯s talent is determined when they are born, it¡¯s almost impossible to change it later on¡­¡±


    But under his disciple¡¯s expectant gaze, Lord Guanjun still took a crystal ball out. Zhao Feng had a Half-Spiritual Body last time which slightly disappointed Lord Guanjun, so he didn¡¯t have that much hope this time.


    The talents of normal people were usually Mortal Bodies, which was split into four tiers: Low, Middle, High, and Peak. A Half-Spiritual Body meant that it had already surpassed a large amount of people, but it was nothing when compared to a true genius.


    Zhao Feng took the crystal ball, took a deep breath and focused his mental energy into it.


    _Weng~~~~_


    A circle of white air appeared from within the crystal.


    One circle¡­ one and a half circles¡­two circles¡­two and a half circles¡­


    When it reached two circles, the progressing speed started to slow down. When it had reached two and a half circles, it virtually stopped, but Zhao Feng was quite happy. Last time, he had put in all his effort and it had stopped at around one and a half circles, under the same situation, there was now one more circle.


    _Peh! Peh!_ __


    Just as the white glow stopped, it suddenly stretched out again because the talent testing was for the entire body and the first two and a half circles didn¡¯t include the mysterious left eye. Now that the left eye¡¯s ''talent'' had been included, the result had changed.


    Two and a half circles¡­three circles¡­three and a half¡­four circles!


    The white circles immediately reached the limits of a Mortal Body, and didn¡¯t show any signs of stopping. At this moment, even Lord Guanjun was entirely focused.


    Four circles¡­four and a half¡­five¡­five and a half circles!


    The result was one entire circle more than the previous result. Last time, Zhao Feng had barely managed to reach the fifth circle and at that time, the circle wasn¡¯t completely white, therefore he was only counted as a half-Spiritual body.


    If it fully formed on the fifth circle, it meant that he had a spiritual body. Now, Zhao Feng¡¯s result was between a low and middle tier Spiritual Body. This result was comparable with Feng Hanyue and Nan Gongfan.


    ¡°Incredible! Your result this time is far better than the previous one. This situation is even rare in the Clan, it looks like your potential is one of the rumoured Changeable Bodies!¡± Lord Guanjun was stunned and overjoyed at the same time.


    Hope finally appeared again in his eyes.


    ¡°Master, what is a Changeable Body?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°A Changeable Body is a special type of body and when tested, the results wouldn¡¯t be accurate. This is even quite rare in the Clan and there have been examples of youths with Low Tier Bodies, but their final achievements even surpassed High Tier Spiritual Bodies," Lord Guanjun explained quickly.


    No wonder. Zhao Feng somewhat understood what a Changeable Body meant, but his talent came from his left eye, which was evolving and perfecting his body at every moment.


    _Without the merging of the left eye, my talent wouldn¡¯t exceed a Middle Tier Mortal Body, it might even be a Low Tier Mortal Body._


    Zhao Feng knew his limits. Before the merging of the eye, his talent was extremely normal. Don¡¯t even talk about comparing with Nan Gongfan and Bei Moi, it couldn¡¯t even be compared to Zhao Linlong.


    Confirming Zhao Feng¡¯s true talent, Lord Guanjun was expectant and happy. A Changeable Body meant that one¡¯s talent wouldn¡¯t be accurate when measured, so Zhao Feng¡¯s talent might be even higher than what was tested.


    But no matter what was said, Zhao Feng¡¯s talent was higher than before, so his future outcome would only be greater.


    ¡°Test again a few times.¡± Lord Guanjun said hopefully.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head as he concentrated and put his mental energy into the crystal ball once more.


    But the result was still the same: five and a half circles.


    ¡°Five and half circles, there¡¯s still quite a big difference between you and Bei Moi. When he tested his talent, it was near eight and a half circles. You have to know that eight circles means a Maximum Tier Spiritual Body,¡± Lord Guanjun sighed.


    The first four circles meant the four tiers of a Mortal Body. The fifth to eighth circles stood for the four tiers of the Spiritual Body, and Bei Moi¡¯s talent reached eight and a half.


    ¡°Could there be any talents better than Spiritual Bodies?¡± Zhao Feng had a feeling that there were.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Bei Moi was only half a step away from the legendary Earth and Sky Spiritual Bodies.¡± Lord Guanjun took in a deep breath.


    Earth Spiritual Body and Sky Spiritual Body. Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts shook, it looked like his feeling was correct.


    ¡°The only problem is that the Earth and Sky Spiritual Bodies haven¡¯t been seen in a long time. At least in the past 100 years, it hasn¡¯t appeared in the Cloud Country. Bei Moi is only a step away from an Earth Spiritual Body, so you must know his potential is very, very high.¡±


    Lord Guanjun sighed as his expression turned sad again, but as his sight landed on Zhao Feng, a faint glimmer of hope appeared again. After all, the latter had a Changeable Body, the rarity of which could be compared to an Earth Spiritual Body.


    ¡°There¡¯s still twenty days until the entrance examination. In this period, you can ask me anything that you want,¡± Lord Guanjun told Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng knew that Lord Guanjun had now put all his hopes on him, and would satisfy his needs to the fullest.


    His first reaction was the ask for more Holy martial arts, but Lord Guanjun told him that it was best to only train in one or two Holy martial arts before the Ascended Realm.


    Zhao Feng was currently training his SIlver Wall Technique and trying to gain enlightenment from the Four Wind Stances, which were definitely Holy martial arts. If he were to choose another Holy martial art, this would consume a lot of his time and focus.


    ¡°If you¡¯re able to train Silver Wall Technique to the tenth level and enter the Ascended Realm with just your body, you¡¯ll have many more choices of Holy martial arts in the Clan compared to the limited stock in the Guanjun Palace,¡± Lord Guanjun said with a smile.


    The Holy martial arts of the Guanjun Palace were incomparable with the ones from the Clans. Choosing too early would limit Zhao Feng¡¯s future, and Feng agreed with what Lord Ganjun said. He chose Silver Wall Technique precisely because he wanted a strong and solid foundation, and in reality, he was correct.


    ¡°Master, what are the cultivation realms?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°In the Clan, the realms are: the Nine ranks of the Consolidated Realm, the Seven Skies of the Ascended Realm, and the Three Heavens of the True Spirit Realm," Lord Guanjun told him the cultivation ranks.


    Consolidated Realm, Ascended Realm, True Spirit Realm.


    Consolidated Realm was also known as the Martial Path and the aim of this realm was to provide a strong foundation for later on.


    Ascended Realm: Split into the Seven Skies and known as the Holy Martial Path in the eyes of mortals.


    True Spirit Realm: Split into the Three Heavens, and Hai Yun Master was a cultivator of this rank.


    ¡­


    Before they left, Lord Guanjun handed the crystal ball to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°When you have some spare time, go and test your talent out more because the talent of a Changeable Body isn¡¯t always the same,¡± Lord Guanjun said expectantly. It was obvious that he hoped Zhao Feng¡¯s talent would be grow even higher.


    Zhao Feng took the crystal ball and returned to his courtyard.


    Closing the door, Zhao Feng took a deep breath and once again, he poured his mental energy into the crystal.


    One circle¡­two circles¡­three circles¡­four circles¡­


    _Peh! Peh!_ Under the thumping of his left eye, the number of circles extended to five and a half.


    Just at this moment, a faint azure light appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s left eyeball. As he was testing, he fully pressured his left eye!


    _Weng~~~~~~_ The crystal ball became brighter and brighter as more and more circles appeared.


    Five and a half¡­six¡­six and a half¡­seven circles¡­


    The circles only started to slow down when it had reached seven and a half, but the final result still reached eight and a bit.


    The eighth and a half circle appeared faintly. At this time, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye had reached its maximum power.


    ¡°The talent of this left eye is insane!¡± Zhao Feng was shocked. His talent was the same as Bei Moi¡¯s when he tried his best.


    Zhao Feng had a feeling that his left eye had limitless potential, and new powers might appear with the rise of his cultivation.


    ***********************


    There were still twenty days left until the entrance test and Zhao Feng focused mainly on his Silver Wall Technique to create an even better foundation. Three days later, Zhao Feng decided to use the Golden Body Strengthening Powder.


    This powder was extremely chaotic and dominant, and it was given the title of a king tier body strengthening powder. According to its requirements, Zhao Feng poured the powder into a tub of boiling hot water.


    As he soaked in this liquid, Zhao Feng felt his bones crack and break, the feeling was even worse than death! No wonder it said that half of the cultivators of the eighth rank who used this would be crippled, but luckily Zhao Feng trained in the Silver Wall Technique and he was able to control this energy.


    _Peh! Peh!_ __


    Under the throbbing of his left eye, Zhao Feng was able to absorb all of the liquid, but at the same time, the pain was worse.


    For a full three days and three nights, Zhao Feng absorbed the energy from the Golden Body Strengthening Powder and for several days after that, he had to take in the remaining energy and honed his body.


    After using the Golden Body Strengthening Powder, his Silver Wall Technique increased by leaps and bounds.


    ¡°If I can have another bag of this, I¡¯ll be able to reach the peak eighth level of the Silver Wall Technique,¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    He decided to find Lord Guanjun to help him out with this matter and at this time, there were only ten days left until the Clan¡¯s entrance examination.

 105 Sky Moon Mountain

    Zhao Feng immediately headed towards Lord Guanjun¡¯s place. Coincidentally, he received news from his servants that Lord Guanjun wanted to see him.


    _Spiritual Martial Hall, inside a book room..._


    ¡°How¡¯s the testing going for the past few days?¡± Expectations rose in Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes.


    He saw Zhao Feng¡¯s potential as a Changeable Body, so his talent was always unstable.


    ¡°The lowest is half-spiritual body and the highest is a middle tier spiritual body,¡± Zhao Feng carefully concealed the truth.


    ¡°Middle tier spiritual body? That¡¯s around average in the Clan.¡± Lord Guanjun wasn¡¯t filled with joy or disappointment, since the talent of a Changeable Body was unique and it could be much stronger than what it showed.


    After getting Feng''s answer, Lord Guanjun repeatedly told Zhao Feng to conceal the fact that he had a Changeable Body, so the situation with Bei Moi wouldn¡¯t happen again.


    There were still ten days left until the entrance exam, and there were two reasons why Lord Guanjun called Zhao Feng over.


    First, he wanted to give pointers to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng immediately performed his skills such as Silver Wall Technique, Star Finger, Smoking Transparent Step, and Lightly Floating Ferry for Lord Guanjun to see. While performing, he would merge his Four Wind Stances into them.


    Lord Guanjun nodded his head and he gave a few suggestions where Feng could improve. As for Zhao Feng¡¯s performance, he was even more satisfied than Bei Moi. Zhao Feng had trained every skill to a high level, and they were even more powerful when merged with the Four Wind Stances. Even Lord Guanjun wasn¡¯t able to find large flaws.


    ¡°Very good! Your Four Wind Stances isn¡¯t a normal Holy martial art,¡± Lord Guanjun nodded his head in praise.


    Not a normal Holy martial art? Zhao Feng was slightly curious by what he meant.


    Lord Guanjun explained, ¡°In the mortal world, there¡¯s core, low, middle, and high tier martial arts, but these aren¡¯t even classified as martial arts in the eyes of the Clans. In their eyes, only Holy martial arts are skills, and the lowest tier is called Mortal Tier. Above that is the Spiritual Tier, then the Earth Tier, and then the Sky Tier.¡±


    In the world of Clans, a Holy martial art was only Mortal Tier, and that was the lowest rank. In the midst of these skills, the Earth and Sky rank skills had all been lost.


    Knowing all this made Zhao Feng realize how little he knew.


    ¡°There¡¯s still ten days until the exam and I need to teach you the way of survival,¡± Lord Guanjun said solemnly. This was the second reason he called Feng here for.


    Zhao Feng immediately paid attention. After all, Lord Guanjun had lived in the Clan for a time, and he knew the situation in the Clan.


    ¡°After entering the Clan, your goal is to become an inner disciple, because outer disciples don¡¯t receive any attention from the Clan. Sometimes, the Clan won¡¯t even care if a few outer disciples die.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold.


    ¡°Hai Yun Master won¡¯t be able to touch you so easily if you become an inner disciple.¡± Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    The first goal: Inner disciple. Zhao Feng forged this into his heart.


    ¡°Obviously, you can¡¯t perform too well or else Hai Yun Master will try to suppress you. Therefore, your second goal is to have the protection of an elder tier person. At that time, Hai Yun Master will have to think twice before trying to harm you.¡± A smile appeared on Lord Guanjun¡¯s lips.


    Second aim: Find a strong background!


    Zhao Feng knew his two goals now. After asking the remainder of his questions, Lord Guanjun decided to give Zhao Feng some extra resources.


    ¡°Last time, in the beast horde, 100 points had been deducted from your score. I¡¯ll give you 300 points to cover up for them,¡± Lord Guanjun said with a smile.


    300 battle points could allow Zhao Feng to do many things. These battle points could be exchanged for pills, medicine and even a bag of Golden Body Strengthening Powder.


    Zhao Feng immediately thanked Lord Guanjun, then he headed towards the Treasury Hall to get body strengthening resources.


    He realized that there was no more Golden Body Strengthening Powder left, as the bag he took last time was the last pack. Helplessly, he had to exchange his points for some lower class resources that were similar to the Golden Body Strengthening Powder.


    This time almost all the body strengthening items had been cleared out of the Treasury Hall.


    After returning to his room, Zhao Feng went into secluded meditation and focused on Silver Wall Technique.


    Seven days later, his Silver Wall Technique had reached the late stages of the eighth level.


    At this moment, his body had reached a terrifying level, and he could face cultivators of the ninth rank with just his body alone.


    _My strength should be around the same as Bei Moi before he left_ , Zhao Feng thought. He was confident that almost no one was his match in the Guanjun Province City.


    There were only three days till the Clan entrance exams.


    Lord Guanjun finally called his three disciples: Zhao Feng, Yang Qingshan, and Nan Gongfan. Zhao Feng scanned Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan and found that the two hadn¡¯t increased in terms of cultivation, but the aura they released now was much stronger.


    ¡°Master, are we leaving now?¡± Nan Gongfan asked, surprised.


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    Lord Guanjun immediately explained, ¡°The Sky Moon Mountain is a few thousand miles away from here, and we don¡¯t have much time to spare.¡±


    Hearing this the hearts of the disciples shook.


    On that very day, the four immediately used their speed skills and headed out of the Guanjun Palace. With their speed, they could sprint up to two thousand miles in one day, far faster than any horse.


    *************************


    After one day and night, the four reached a mountain.


    _Teng! Teng! Teng!_ __


    The four leapt in the air, reaching 20 meters with each jump.


    ¡°We¡¯re here!¡±


    Lord Guanjun stopped and looked at a mountain covered in mist. Under the moonlight, a faint cold glow was radiating from the mountain, giving off a faint pressure.


    This was the Sky Moon Mountain.


    Zhao Feng and the other two looked at it as well, and they were shocked by what they saw.


    The nearby area of the mountain was filled with chasms and cliffs, some of them miles long. A cultivator of the ninth rank obviously couldn¡¯t cross this chasm, even those of the Ascended Realm had to be careful when crossing.


    ¡°There¡¯s the entrance.¡± Lord Guanjun took his three disciples over.


    After running for tens of miles, a U-shaped path appeared which linked towards the Sky Moon Mountain and on the path entrance, there were around one hundred people. Most of them were youths under the age of eighteen who had extremely high talent and were waiting to enter.


    ¡°Hm? Lord Guanjun, you came as well?¡± a rainbow colored-hair old man signaled to them.


    Behind the old man was three youths, two guys, and one girl. The two guys were both at the seventh rank and the girl who was fourteen-fifteen years old, was at the eighth rank.


    ¡°Haha, Lord Cangtie, long time no see,¡± Lord Guanjun responded.


    This rainbow-haired old man was Lord Cangtie, the lord of the nearby Province City Beling and held the same position as Lord Guanjun.


    The two lords both inspected the youths standing behind one another.


    ¡°This is my granddaughter, Liu Yue¡¯er,¡± Lord Cangtie introduced the girl behind him.


    Liu Yue¡¯er was fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was at the eighth rank meaning she was quite talented, and she beat Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan when they were her age.


    At the entrance, there were a hundred youths who were mostly at the seventh rank of higher. Even if they were below the seventh rank, they were at a young age, around twelve or thirteen.


    Looking at the youths who were twelve to thirteen years old and had reached the sixth rank, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh. When he was back at the Green Leaf Village, he was such a frog in the well.


    These youths had passed numerous tests and challenges and they were finally recommended to the Broken Moon Clan. Some came from Province City¡¯s like Zhao Feng and co., while others came from great families.


    There was also a small number that came from the royal line of the Cloud Country.


    ¡°Look, that¡¯s the princess of the Cloud Country, Yun Xiangmeng!¡± some of the youths exclaimed in a low tone.


    Following their eyes, Zhao Feng saw a girl fifteen or sixteen years old with an extremely noble aura. Her cultivation had reached the peak eighth rank as well, the same as Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan. Apart from her, there were still a few top-tier geniuses, but none of them were comparable to Bei Moi.


    There was someone of the ninth rank, but he had reached seventeen or eighteen years, far older than Bei Moi.


    ¡°Lord Guanjun, which of them is Bei Moi?¡± Lord Cangtie looked towards the three with interest.


    Hearing Bei Moi¡¯s name getting raised, Lord Guanjun¡¯s expression was pretty ugly, but he didn¡¯t explain what had happened to Bei Moi as he introduced the three.


    Lord Cangtie could tell that of the three, Zhao Feng was the leader.


    His granddaughter Liu Yue¡¯er looked at Zhao Feng with interest, but Zhao Feng only casually scanned across them, then didn¡¯t look at them again.


    His attitude made Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s eyebrow twitch slightly¡­

 106 Entering the Mountain

    Liu Yue¡¯er saw Zhao Feng¡¯s casual attitude, it seemed to her as if no other was genius could enter his eyes. Even when he looked at the cultivators of the ninth rank, he would still be expressionless.


    "Hmph!" Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly and she didn¡¯t hide the disdain in her eyes. The geniuses present were all very young, any one of them were prodigies in their original clans/sects/families, and they were all extremely confident in themselves.


    Zhao Feng finally realized his attitude was slightly disdainful. He was only focused on Bei Moi, the others couldn¡¯t even his eyes.


    ¡°Lord Guanjun, what type of Spiritual Body do your disciples have?¡± Lord Cangtie asked curiously. Hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on Nan Gongfan¡¯s lips.


    Lord Guanjun shook his head. ¡°Average.¡± He didn¡¯t want to talk about Zhao Feng¡¯s talent, but his reaction made Lord Cangtie and Liu Yue¡¯er more curious.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe that his talent is better than mine.¡± A confident look appeared on Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s face.


    ********************


    _Night..._


    The youths started to chatter amongst themselves while they waited for day to arrive. Occasionally, a few youths would fight with another.


    ¡°Xiao Sun! Don¡¯t think that you can look down upon us because you reached the ninth rank!¡±


    From not far away came the sounds of an argument. Everyone twisted their heads in the direction of the sound and they found a black-clothed youth of the ninth rank was arguing with some other youths.


    The young man in black was Xiao Sun, the only ninth rank youth present.


    ¡°A bunch of weaklings!¡± Xiao Sun coldly scanned the other youths of the eighth and ninth ranks. His ninth rank aura was released, rendering the other youths unable to breathe properly.


    ¡°What are we scared of? Attack together!¡±


    Two youths of the eighth rank pounced on Xiao Sun from the left and right. The three immediately began to battle.


    Every youth here had trained in high class martial arts and they were top tier in their ranks. The two youths of the eighth rank could even counter a ninth rank, but Xiao Sun had trained a speed and offensive skill which were both Holy martial arts, and he had defeated the two youths in just a few moves.


    _Xiao Sun¡¯s strength is pretty close to Bei Moi¡¯s_ , Zhao Feng thought.


    It had been twenty days after Bei Moi left, and he had strength comparable to a half-Holy martial artist then. Now that he had entered the Clan, would he be even stronger?


    ¡°This Xiao Sun comes from the biggest family in seclusion, the Xiao family. This family has been around for thousands of years, and their strength is not any weaker than a Province City,¡± Lord Guanjun said in low tones.


    This was the first time that Zhao Feng had heard there was a power in the Cloud Country that was stronger than the Guanjun Province City. But even then, these families in seclusion would try their best to send their younger generation into the Clans.


    _Plop! Plop!_ __


    Xiao Sun soon beat up the two youths of the eighth rank. ¡°Hahaha¡­I¡¯ll come first time in the entrance exam!¡± Xiao Sun laughed out loud.


    First place?


    His words drew the enmity of other geniuses, such as Liu Yue¡¯er and Princess Yun Xiang.


    There were a limited number of places for those who wanted to enter the Clan. According to what Zhao Feng knew, there was a total of three tests and a score was given for each test.


    A rank would be given in accordance to the sum of their scores, and only the top twenty would be accepted. For example, if the Broken Moon Clan wanted to take in twenty disciples, they would only take the top twenty applicants. The higher one ranked was the greatest advantage they had, since they then had a higher chance of being taken in by the higher levels of the Clan.


    Lord Guanjun had talked to Zhao Feng and the others about this. Now, Xiao Sun was aiming for first place which irritated the others. Obviously, none of them challenged him, because Xiao Sun merely had the highest cultivation, and the Clan tested on talent, strength, and enlightenment.


    Talent took up sixty percent of the test, which meant that even if you were the strongest, you might not come first.


    ¡°Hmph! Talent is most important!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! No matter how strong you are right now, you¡¯ll still be surpassed due to lack of talent.¡±


    The other youths said this, but none of them challenged him.


    The older generation didn¡¯t interfere with the youths since they thought it was just child¡¯s play.


    ¡°Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxiang, Liu Yue¡¯er, and Sun Yuanhap¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes rested on those who he thought were the most spectacular.


    The person with the highest cultivation was Xiao Sun. After him came Yun Mengxiang and Liu Yue¡¯er, who both had extreme beauty.


    Last of all came Sun Yuanhao.


    The reason why Zhao Feng felt interested in him was because he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he was already at the eighth rank.


    Sun Yuanhao was extremely clean and short, but Zhao Feng felt an aura similar to Bei Moi¡¯s radiating from him. As if sensing his gaze, Sun Yuanhao smiled at him innocently.


    *************************


    Time passed on slowly.


    A few hours later, a faint light appeared in the sky. Dawn had appeared. The rays of sunlight shone towards the mist of the Sky Moon Mountain, reflecting a glorious silver glow. The shape of the mountain appeared, but the mist around the mountain made it hard to see what was inside.


    Faintly, Zhao Feng seemed to see a mesmerizing scene. There were creeks, rivers, and even farmlands to grow crops. On top of the green hill, there were blocks and blocks of buildings.


    When Zhao Feng fully circulated his left eye, he saw a deep green palace floating in the sky and azure lightning flooded around it¡­


    ¡°What!? The entire palace is floating midair inside lightning?¡± Zhao Feng was stunned.


    Every item inside the Clan seemed to be different from the outside world. The palace was extremely stunning as it sat between lightning and wind, giving it a feeling of awe and holiness.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t calm down, and he felt a thumping sound coming from his left eye as if it had sensed something. He wanted to ask others, but he couldn¡¯t since that palace was extremely far away and hid behind a mist which those of the Ascended Realm couldn¡¯t see past.


    _Xiu~ Weng~_


    A bright flash of white light appeared from the cliff¡¯s other side. Zhao Feng saw a stone door weighing a few thousand kilograms lift slowly.


    ¡°The gate¡¯s opening!¡± From the crowd came cheers.


    _Teng! Teng! Teng¡­_


    A few of the figures immediately rushed onto the U-shaped path.


    ¡°The entrance test is starting soon.¡± Lord Guanjun warned his three disciples and led the way.


    After reaching the end of the path, they arrived in front of the stone gate. This stone gate was the entrance to the Broken Moon Clan.


    There were four youths standing there, and each of them had a terrifying aura which made even those of the ninth rank tremble.


    Opening his left eye, Zhao Feng found that the strength of the four youths were on par with Lord Guanjun. Lord Guanjun was of the Second Sky of the Ascended Realm and the youths were around there, too.


    In the mortal world, they would be powerful figures, but here they were only guards.


    Lord Guanjun and the others all took out a special token as they went past.


    ¡°Greetings, Deacon Qiu!¡±


    Members of the Clan appeared as the group of people entered the mountain, there were dozens of them, with each of them radiating a strong aura.


    These members all wore black striped shirts and they were all of the Ascended Realm. The person leading them was a middle aged man called by the others as Deacon Qiu.


    ¡°Greetings, Deacon Qiu!¡±


    Lord Guanjun and the others all came up and bowed down. The youths behind them immediately followed suit.


    Zhao Feng felt nothing from Deacon Qiu, but when he opened his left eye, he felt a terrifying power coursing through the Deacon which made his blood boil.


    _This Deacon Qiu¡¯s strength is much stronger than Master''s. He can kill those of the Holy Martial Path with just one finger_ , Zhao Feng immediately analyzed the Deacon and promptly closed the abilities of his left eye because he was scared of being found out by the man.


    ¡°Everyone follow me.¡±Deacon Qiu¡¯s eyes scanned across the people present as if he was looking at ants.


    Soon, the group arrived in front of a large stone stage. On the stage, there was a crystal beam ten meters high and half a meter wide that shone under the sunlight.


    ¡°The first test, Spiritual Sky Beam. Everyone come and get your numbers.¡± Deacon Qiu ordered those of the older generation to take the youths, register them, and collect their numbers.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, number 49.¡±


    ¡°Yang Qingshan, number 50.¡±


    After taking their respective number plates, Zhao Feng saw some disciples had come to watch. One of them was a handsome youth wearing a black-striped shirt who smiled as he spoke to Lord Guanjun, ¡°Uncle Xu Ran, we meet again.¡±


    Yang Qingshan and the others looked at him with wariness and enmity.


    This handsome youth was Quan Chen, the person who had taken Bei Moi away that day.

 107 A True Changeable Body

    Quan Chen¡¯s appearance disturbed Zhao Feng and the others.


    Lord Guanjun was calm. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he¡¯s just a disciple who¡¯s at the Third Sky of the Ascended Realm, and he doesn¡¯t have enough power to interfere with the test.¡±


    On the stone stage, Deacon Qiu surveyed the watching disciples with warning in his eyes. These disciples seemed to be stuck by lightning, and they immediately retreated to a certain distance and became quiet.


    Even Quan Chen did so, he seemed afraid of Deacon Qiu as well.


    In the Broken Moon Clan, Deacons were already middle tier. Not only did they have high authority, they were also at the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°The first test, Spiritual Sky Beam, tests your talent. See that crystal circle beam? That is the items used to measure your talent,¡± Lord Guanjun told his disciples.


    Zhao Feng and the other two turned towards the crystal beam that was five meters high. It was similar to the crystal ball test given before, but much stronger.


    Soon, the youths had received their number plates, which had their simple information inside.


    ¡°The first test of the Spiritual Sky Beam begins. Number 1, Zhang Junchen,¡± a disciple announced.


    On the stage, Deacon Qiu sat on his chair while the men under him did all the work.


    Soon, number 1 Zhang Junchen stepped onto the stage and arrived in front of the Spiritual Sky Beam. The testing method was the same as the crystal ball - gather your mental energy and put it into the beam.


    _Weng~_ __


    Layers of white light appeared on the beam and the light reached two meters high.


    The entire Spiritual Sky Beam was five meters tall, the first four half meters meant a Mortal Body: low, middle, high, peak. The youth¡¯s talent reached two meters, which meant that he was a peak Mortal Body.


    ¡°A Mortal Body even wants to enter the Clan? In your dreams! Get out of here!¡± a cold voice resounded around the stone stage. The youth that had just been tested walked down the stage as if his soul had been lost, and he was taken away by disciples of the Clan.


    This scene caused Zhao Feng and the other two to look at each other in shock. One had to know that a genius like Zhao Linlong only had an higher Mortal Body. Even with talent like his, they were sent home straight away.


    In reality, not everyone had the chance to test their talent beforehand, since they didn¡¯t have a crystal ball like Lord Guanjun.


    Soon, some other youths appeared to be tested. The second youth had a better score than the first youth with his light reaching two and a half meters, representing a low tier Spiritual Body.


    ¡°Low tier Spiritual Body, pass. Two points for the first test.¡±


    According to the rules, as long as one¡¯s talent passed two meters, they were accepted and given a score in respect to what height their talent reached.


    Two and a quarter meters was one point and it represented a half-spiritual body.


    Two and a half meters was two points and represent a low tier Spiritual Body.


    Two and three-quarter meters was three points and the talent was between a low-middle Spiritual Body.


    If one¡¯s talent reached three and a half meters, they would get six points as it meant a high Spiritual Body.


    Six points was a perfect score to a certain extent because if one¡¯s talent was like Bei Moi¡¯s, they would receive ten points and enter the Clan straight away without even taking the remaining tests.


    Thus, the first test was the most important.


    ¡°Number 27, Xiao Sun!¡± the disciple calling out the names shouted out.


    The youths immediately looked at Xiao Sun, the only one who had reached the ninth rank.


    _Weng~_ __


    The light on the beam flashed so brightly that people from miles away could even see it.


    Three and a quarter meters! The youths below watching were stunned.


    ¡°Three and a quarter meters, pass. Five points.¡±


    Xiao Sun¡¯s marks was almost perfect because anyone over six points in the first test would be taken in without a doubt.


    The examination continued with at least one-third of the youths being eliminated.


    ¡°Number 33, Yun Mengxiang!¡± At this moment, the gazes of the youths were attracted by this noble girl, the princess of the Cloud Country, Yun Mengxiang.


    Weng!


    The light rose three meters high on the beam. Her talent was a mid-tier Spiritual Body.


    ¡°Three meters, pass. Four points.¡±


    The talent of most of the youths were below three meters and being a princess who had extremely good looks and high talent, her future couldn¡¯t be imagined.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but nod his head, the youths he was interested in all had good talent.


    ¡°Number 41, Liu Yue¡¯er!¡±


    A smiling girl floated onstage. Zhao Feng watched her with interest. She was pretty displeased with him before and from the confident look she had, she probably had good talent.


    _Weng!_ __


    The shining light on the beam was so bright that everyone within a ten miles radius could see it.


    Oh heavens...!


    The youths below were all shocked. The light had reached three and a half meters!


    Three and a half!!!!


    ¡°Good! High Tier Spiritual Body! Three and a half meters! This is the best result so far. Number 41 Liu Yue¡¯er you don¡¯t need to take the other tests, and you can enter the Clan straight away.¡±


    Even Deacon Qiu¡¯s eyes lit up. High Tier Spiritual Body! This was the best result from the testing up so far.


    ¡°Lord Cangtie, I can¡¯t believe that your granddaughter has such high talent.¡± Lord Guanjun''s expression moved slightly.


    ¡°Haha, same here. Your disciple Zhao Feng won¡¯t be far off Yue¡¯er anyways,¡± Lord Cangtie smiled. Because Zhao Feng¡¯s age was around Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s age and their cultivation was around the same, Lord Cangtie automatically assumed that Zhao Feng¡¯s talent was similar to Liu Yue¡¯ers.


    Lord Guanjun gave a smile in response but kept silent.


    After Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s test, no one else surpassed her. Only a few were able to reach the middle tier Spiritual Body because there was a large difference between a middle and a low tier Spiritual Body.


    ¡°Number 49, Zhao Feng!¡± the disciple¡¯s voice sounded. It was Zhao Feng¡¯s turn, and Lord Guanjun and Lord Cangtie focused on him.


    Not far away, Liu Yue¡¯er gave him a provocative glance. No one had surpassed her up to now. Zhao Feng glanced at Liu Yue¡¯er casually before walking confidently up the steps.


    Liu Yue¡¯er and Lord Cangtie were both shocked. From Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, they saw disdain, as if he wasn¡¯t putting Liu Yue¡¯er in his eyes.


    ¡°Ahhh! Let¡¯s see what your talent is then!¡±


    Liu Yue¡¯er puffed angrily, but facing Zhao Feng¡¯s casual and confident look, she had a bad feeling. _Could his talent be better than mine?_ __


    Even Lord Cangtie had a solemn expression. Stepping onto the stage, Zhao Feng put his hand onto the Spiritual Sky Beam.


    _Weng!_


    The light on the beam surged up to one meter before trembling slightly, then speeding up to two and a half meters. When it reached that point, the light almost stopped.


    Zhao Feng felt his left eye twitch, but he didn¡¯t open it or else the light would easily reach four meters. In the past few days, he had been training to control how much talent he showed by testing it with the crystal ball.


    ¡°Two and a half meters, low tier Spiritual Body, pass! Two points!¡± His score for the first stage was announced.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s talent was extremely normal and he didn¡¯t catch the eye of anyone.


    ¡°Just a low tier Spiritual Body? Haha¡­,¡± Liu Yue¡¯er laughed mockingly at Zhao Feng. At the same time both she and Lord Cangtie let out a breath. The grandfather and granddaughter had been scared due to Zhao Feng¡¯s confident look.


    Zhao Feng walked off stage and looked playfully at Liu Yue¡¯er.


    ¡°This smelly brat is trying to be cool!¡±


    Liu Yue¡¯er was so angry that she started trembling and finally, she realized that she had been toyed with by Zhao Feng. Lord Cangtie didn¡¯t have anything to say either, he had thought that Zhao Feng had supreme talent because of Lord Guanjun¡¯s silence before.


    Quan Chen, who was also watching, smiled disdainfully. ¡°Low tier Spiritual Body? People like him won¡¯t even be raised properly by the Clan. He¡¯s destined to be at the bottom of the Clan.¡± Even Quan Chen didn¡¯t put Zhao Feng¡¯s talent in his eyes, so how would an elder?


    The examination continued, and Zhao Feng¡¯s performance didn¡¯t raise anyone¡¯s attention. Lord Guanjun also let out a breath, the first step of the plan had been successful.


    Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan both went up to test, and their talents were three meters and two and three-quarters meters, respectively.


    Zhao Feng hadn''t thought that Yang Qingshan would have a middle tier Spiritual Body and Nan Gongfan would be in between low and middle tier.


    ¡°Middle tier Spiritual Body? Not bad, but it¡¯s almost impossible to threaten Master. Hm¡­ looks like we¡¯ll have to pay a bit of attention to this Yang Qingshan¡­¡± Yang Qingshan¡¯s results caught the attention of Quan Chen, but the latter still had a carefree attitude.


    The first stage was coming to an end.


    ¡°Number 72, Sun Yunhao!¡±


    The name caught Zhao Feng¡¯s attention. A youth who was thirteen-some years old walked onto stage. He was even younger than Zhao Feng, but he was at the eighth rank of the Martial Path. His potential even caught Deacon Qiu¡¯s eye.


    Sun Yunhao anxiously put his hand onto the Spiritual Sky Beam.


    _Weng~_


    The light stopped when it reached one and a quarter meters or so.


    _Hm?_


    The crowd watching were slightly surprised because Sun Yunhao had reached an extremely high cultivation level at his age.


    _Weng! Weng!_ __


    The light on the Spiritual Sky Beam suddenly went up and down and it was extremely unstable.


    Suddenly, the light jumped to two and a half meters, then fell back down to one meter.


    Weird!


    This scene made Zhao Feng remember the situation that Zhao Yufei had when she had tested her talent with the crystal ball, because the situation back then was extremely unstable as well. But this time, they were testing with the Spiritual Sky Beam, which was more developed...


    _Weng~~~~_ __


    The light surged to three meters and closed in on three and a half meters.


    _Oh heavens!_ _What was happening?_ The crowd was stunned.


    ¡°This¡­ could it be the extremely rare Changeable Body?¡± Deacon Qiu asked himself.


    _Wengxiu_ ~~


    Suddenly, the light exploded and reached four meters, giving off a light so strong that everything within tens of miles was covered by it.


    Four meters! The eyes of the crowd almost popped out.


    Quan Chen¡¯s jaw had almost fell out. ¡°His talent is even close to Bei Moi¡¯s!¡±


    Another super genius!


    ¡°...this is a true Changeable Body.¡± Zhao Feng calmed down from the shock and excitement while Lord Guanjun next to him had a questioning look on his face.

 108 Mechanism Tes

    Sun Yuanhao¡¯s talent made Zhao Feng sweat profoundly because this was a true Changeable Body. But because Lord Guanjun didn¡¯t know much about Changeable Bodies since they were much too rare, he didn¡¯t say anything.


    At this moment everyone, including Deacon Qiu, was moved. The light from the Spiritual Sky Beam had almost covered half of the Sky Moon Mountain.


    ¡°Changeable Body, at least at the peak tier Spiritual Body, full marks! Accepted into the clan straight away!¡± Deacon Qiu finally reacted and announced.


    Sun Yuanhao had beat Liu Yue¡¯er, and he was immediately taken in by the Clan. As he walked down the stage, others stared at him with envy and jealousy.


    ¡°A genius like him will soon become a disciple of someone with great power,¡± Lord Guanjun sighed. Seeing Sun Yuanhao made him think of Bei Moi and therefore his mood was depressed.


    _Sou----_ __


    The sound of the wind suddenly appeared as a person dropped from the sky.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡±


    The crowd below felt as if they were an ant in front of the person. The person was clothed in gold and he was like a god as he walked through the air. Under that pressure, even those of the Holy Martial Path felt their blood freeze.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye saw a gold-robed man fly through the air.


    Flying! Zhao Feng had never thought that cultivators could fly because flying was only a legend.


    ¡°Greetings Elder Xue!¡± Deacon Qiu exclaimed as he wiped sweat off his forehead and bowed down towards the gold-robed man.


    ¡°Hua," the other disciples bowed down at the same time.


    The gold robed Elder stood in and surveyed the disciples like a god. Not far away, Quan Chen¡¯s face was pale white and trembling.


    The man in front of them was an Elder who held more power even more than Hai Yun Master.


    _Shua!_ __


    In a flash of gold, the gold robed elder had appeared in front of Sun Yuanhao.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­ Changeable Body! I just wanted to take in a disciple, looks like I was pretty lucky!¡± Elder Xue inspected Sun Yuanhao with joy.


    ¡°Sun Yuanhao! Are you willing to take this elder as your master? According to the rules, if you do you can become an inner disciple straight away,¡± Deacon Qiu told him.


    Under the envious gazes, Sun Yuanhao nodded his head nervously, ¡°Disciple is willing.¡±


    Elder Xue laughed, grabbed him by the hand, and then turned into a gold blur as he disappeared into the depths of the mountain.


    After this small interference, the Spiritual Sky Beam test was coming to an end. In Zhao Feng¡¯s mind, the image of the Elder flying lingered, and he couldn¡¯t calm down.


    ¡°That was someone of the True Spirit Realm, they have the ability to fly for short periods and control unimaginable power¡­ ,¡± Lord Guanjun sighed as respect and longing appeared in his eyes.


    Under the True Spirit Realm was the Ascended Realm and the latter had Seven Skies. The Seven Skies meant seven changes, with every change giving the cultivator incredible power.


    From a certain point of view, cultivators of the True Spirit Realm were the evolution of humans, so they were able to do things that were impossible for normal humans.


    A total of forty-five youths had passed the first test and scored one to five points.


    There was a total of three tests and the first test gave up to six points. If someone reached the maximum score, they were accepted into the Clan straight away.


    ¡°The next two tests are the Mechanism Test and Nine Picture Array Tests. which give a maximum of two points each,¡± Lord Guanjun told his disciples, but he was addressing Zhao Feng in particular because he had scored only two points in the Spiritual Sky Beam test and the next two test only added up to give a total of four. If his score was too low, he might not be taken into the Clan.


    ¡°I understand.¡± Zhao Feng knew what to do.


    ¡°Follow me to the Mechanism Test.¡± Deacon Qiu led the group of people to a path that was one and a half meters wide. On either side, there were two hills, with man-made caves in them.


    This was the Mechanism Test?


    ¡°After entering the Mechanism path, you will have to kill mechanic beasts which have the same cultivation level as you. You will get a point for killing two and two points for killing four or more¡­ ,¡± Deacon Qiu announced.


    Truthfully, Zhao Feng had already received information from Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°Number 3, Wu Dan," a disciple called out.


    _Teng!_ __


    A youth of the seventh rank leapt into the enter and walked onto the path.


    _Huang!_ __


    A pure black mechanical beast walked out of one of the caves, its shape was similar to a human, and it held a scythe which swept towards the youth.


    _Peng!_


    The youth and mechanical beast clashed together, but the youth''s expression changed immediately as he retreated.


    The strength of the mechanical beast was at the seventh rank, but its defense and offense was much stronger than the seventh rank. This meant that the mechanical beasts were elites among their ranks.


    The youth used all his power and he was finally able to put the beast down.


    _Huang! Huang!_ __


    He took another few steps and two mechanical beasts appeared from the nearby caves.


    _Not good!_


    The expression of the youth changed dramatically as he tried to fight off the beasts at the same time. As time went on, a few more beasts walked out from the caves, but they weren¡¯t fast. So the youth was able to slay one due to his speed.


    ¡°One point for killing two beasts,¡± the disciple announced.


    After that, a few more geniuses went up and fought with the mechanical beast. Most of them were able to kill one or two, but it was incredibly hard to kill four or more.


    _The defense of the mechanical beasts is just too strong._ Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye saw the situation.


    Even Xiao Sun, who was at the ninth rank, felt pressure as he faced mechanical beasts of the ninth rank.


    The higher one¡¯s cultivation was, the stronger the beasts that appeared were, so Xiao Sun had to face beasts of the ninth rank. He finally managed to kill three beasts and received one and a half points. Only a very low number of youths were able to get two points.


    Two points was a perfect score at the second test, but was it easy to get? One needed to kill four elites of the same rank and sometimes face more at the same time.


    ¡°Number 49, Zhao Feng," the disciple''s voice announced.


    Lord Guanjun warned, ¡°Your score for the first test was low, so you must get a full score for this test.¡±


    The Clan placed importance on talent, therefore Quan Chen and the other disciples had already left. In their eyes, talent decided future, so the next two tests weren¡¯t important.


    _Teng!_ __


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure stepped onto the mechanism path.


    _Huang!_ __


    A beast soon appeared from a cave nearby.


    Star Finger! Flowing Wind Stance!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure immediately closed in on the beast and his body moved slightly to the side to dodge the mechanical beasts attack.


    _Tonk!_ __


    His azure finger hit the point where two parts were connected.


    _Plop!_ __


    The arm holding the weapon immediately fell down. Such reflexes and accuracy stunned the others.


    _Tonk! Tonk! Tonk!_ __


    Zhao Feng then immediately fired off another few fingers which looked like fireworks. In just a few breaths, the arms and legs had been cut off by Zhao Feng and the mechanical beast fell onto the ground.


    ¡°What precision and speed! He¡¯s just toying around with the mechanical beast,¡± Lord Cangtie couldn¡¯t help but sigh and look at Zhao Feng in a new light.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s finger skills were both precise and strong.


    _Huang! Huang!_ __


    Two more beasts soon appeared from the nearby caves.


    Star Finger! Flowing Wind Stance! Smoking Transparent Step!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was like a ghost that jumped in front of the two mechanical beasts.


    _Hoong!_


    After a few breaths, one of the beasts had been chopped into eight pieces by Zhao Feng. And just as he did so, three other beasts appeared, adding up to four active beasts, who closed in on Zhao Feng.


    This was the same as four beasts near the ninth rank with extreme defense closing in on Zhao Feng. Under this situation, not many youths would be able to handle this.


    One Line Star Finger! Tornado Stance!


    A cold light flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes as he thrust out his finger, which was a wide ranged attack. Tornado Stance was a skill which could increase the damage and area of an attack.


    _Hoooooong!_ __


    The finger pierced straight through where the heart of the beast would be. It was hard to imagine what kind of power was needed to instantly kill a mechanical beast, one had to know that the defense of these machines were around the ninth rank.


    _Boom! Boom! Boom!_ __


    Zhao Feng immediately shot 3 more fingers and every finger would easily pierce through the body of the mechanical beast.


    _Plop! Plop! Baaaaam¡­_ __


    The other 3 beasts had all been destroyed by Zhao Feng in one move and lay unmoving on the floor .


    In just a moment, Zhao Feng had taken care of five beasts, leaving behind a group of dazed onlookers.

 109 Illusion Fish

    Zhao Feng¡¯s performance was incredible compared to his average first test result. Even Deacon Qiu glanced at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Killed five mechanical beasts, two points,¡± the disciple announced his score.


    One only needed to kill four or more to get two points. There were others who had got full marks for this test, but they weren¡¯t able to kill them in one hit like Zhao Feng did.


    ¡°Such terrifying strength! The power of the last finger could even harm normal ninth ranks.¡± Xiao Sun inspected Zhao Feng. He had the highest cultivation in the group, but he didn¡¯t have any confidence in beating Zhao Feng.


    The Mechanism Path test continued, and even though Zhao Feng¡¯s performance was excellent, Deacon Qiu and the other members of the Clan didn¡¯t put it to heart because they focused mainly on the first test which could earn six points.


    So although Zhao Feng was excellent, he only received two points.


    ¡°No matter how much battle experience he has, he¡¯ll still be thrown away by us due to the lack of talent,¡± Princess Yun Mengxiang glanced at Zhao Feng, but she didn¡¯t put his performance to heart.


    Zhao Feng felt that his performance at the second stage didn¡¯t draw the attention of the Clan and although the other youths thought that he was strong, the lack of talent would mean that his future wouldn¡¯t be high.


    But this was also what Zhao Feng wanted, not wanting to draw too much attention. Lord Guanjun nodded his head; it didn¡¯t matter how well Zhao Feng performed at the second stage.


    Soon, the second exam ended.


    Zhao Feng calculated his scores, summing up to four.


    ¡°Next is the Nine Picture Array.¡± Deacon Qiu led the group of people to an old fashioned building nearby.


    At this time, the older generation who brought the younger generation here were all prevented from entering. Even the youths taking the test had to go in one at a time.


    ¡°This test seems pretty mysterious,¡± Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    The youths taking the test walked in, then out later, one after another. Most of the geniuses exited the building with their brow furrowed and irritated.


    ¡°You must remain calm for the third test, but seeing how high your enlightenment is, this test shouldn¡¯t be much of a problem,¡± Lord Guanjun said in a low voice.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Ever since the mysterious left eye merged with him, his reflexes and understanding had increased.


    ¡°Number 49, Zhao Feng!¡± After a while, it was finally Zhao Feng¡¯s turn.


    With the voice of the disciple, Zhao Feng stepped into the ancient building.


    The building was empty, there weren¡¯t even many disciples of the Clan here.


    ¡°Go upstairs.¡± Two disciples stood next to the stairs.


    Zhao Feng walked up the stairs to the second floor and entering it, Zhao Feng found a giant picture hanging on the wall.


    The scenery of the picture was extremely profound and had a feeling that it moved. Focusing on it, different scenes flashed in the picture.


    Zhao Feng was shocked, there was something wrong with this picture!


    _Cough!_ A sound interrupted Zhao Feng.


    On the left and right of the picture sat a white-robed old man and a red-faced old man. Deacon Qiu only stood near the exit, slightly crouched. On the second floor, Deacon Qiu had to stand on the side and he couldn¡¯t even sit down which made Zhao Feng realize that the identities of the two old men were special.


    ¡°Nine Picture Array Illusion Fish Picture, appear!¡± The white-robed old man gently clapped his hands and the scenery in the picture on the wall changed.


    ¡°This Illusion Fish Picture has nine different scenes in total, getting harder as you progress. The test is to see how many fishes there are and what color they are,¡± the white robed old man said.


    _Number and color of the fishes?_ Zhao Feng nodded his head in understanding.


    Soon, Zhao Feng looked closely at the first change which was quite simple. ¡°Three fishes, one black and two green,¡± Zhao Feng answered.


    The white robed elder expressionlessly changed the scene to the second picture.


    Zhao Feng looked at it, noting it was slightly more complicated than before. But the details still couldn¡¯t get past his sharp eyes.


    ¡°Five fishes, one black, two red and two white,¡± Zhao Feng answered quickly.


    _Hm?_ The expressions of the white robed elder and the red faced elder changed slightly.


    Every picture that was answered correctly gave half a point, and the youths before were able to get one point or so, but they spent a lot of time thinking.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s response time was much faster than the others. Soon, the third picture appeared.


    ¡°Eight fishes, two black, two white, three red, and one green¡­ ,¡± Zhao Feng answered without hesitation.


    The two elders looked at each other, then they inspected Zhao Feng.


    When the Illusion Fish Picture reached the third scene, the profoundness involved would make cultivators of the Ascension Realm take a while to consider, but Zhao Feng was able to give the answer in just a few breaths time.


    Soon, the picture changed once again.


    ¡°Thirteen fishes, five blue, three gold¡­, ¡± Zhao Feng paused for a short time before giving his answer.


    Surprise appeared in the two elders eyes. According to the rules, one got full marks if they were able to successfully pass the fourth scene, but¡­


    ¡°Continue.¡± The white-robed elder clapped and another scene appeared.


    _Weng~_ __


    The fifth change was extremely complex, Zhao Feng saw fishes playing around and jumping in the air. Missing any small point could change the answer dramatically.


    After thinking for a bit, Zhao Feng said, ¡°Twenty-seven fishes, seven brown, six orange¡­¡±


    The expressions of the elders changed as they looked at Zhao Feng with surprise and intense interest.


    The white robed elder then made the sixth scene appear.


    The sixth picture was full of truth and illusions that stacked on top of each other.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes suddenly became sharp and after staring at the picture for a while he responded with, ¡°48 fishes, 9 purple, 12 black¡­¡±


    Without any questioning, he had answered correctly once again. Shock appeared on the expressions of the two elders as they looked at each other.


    Zhao Feng seemed to feel something because the changes after the fourth scene had exceeded the limits of geniuses, unless they had high understanding.


    The white robed old man sighed as he opened the seventh scene. The seventh picture was much harder than the others, and Zhao Feng had to fully circulate his left eye to see the truth.


    This time, he considered for a moment before giving an incorrect answer.


    _Hu~_ __


    The white robed elder and red faced elder let out a breath. If Zhao Feng was able to answer correctly again, then he would be a monster genius, but how were they supposed to know that Zhao Feng had purposely given a wrong answer?


    ¡°I am the vice-head of the Grass-Wood Division, would you like to enter the Grass-Wood Division and take me as your master?¡± the red faced elder gave him a faint smile.


    Vice-head? Master? Zhao Feng stood dazed.


    ¡°Old man Guan, what¡¯s the meaning of this? Are you trying to steal my disciple? Can¡¯t you see that his forte is arrays? He¡¯s more suited to enter the Clan Mission Division,¡± the white robed elder seemed to be pretty angry.


    Somehow, the two started to fight, not giving in to each other. This stunned Deacon Qiu in the corner nearby. He hadn¡¯t thought that a youth like this with such normal talent would cause two vice-heads to fight.


    In the Broken Moon Sect, there were different divisions such as Regulation Division, Grass-Wood Division, Clan Mission Division, Central Division and the Grass-Wood Division. The Grass-Wood Division was in charge of planting, pill making, and healing.


    Grass-Wood Division was extremely popular, especially with the pill makers. That old man Guan was one of the best pill masters of the Grass-Wood Division.


    The Clan-Mission Division was in charge of the subtle things in the clan, including fixing and maintaining the arrays of the mountain.


    The white robed elder was an extremely good array master, who had completed this Nine Picture Array with a few other array masters.


    ¡°Young man, who do you want to take as your master?¡± the white robed old man asked.


    ¡°Young man! You might not know how important a pill maker is and how high their status is¡­¡± the red-faced elder said.


    One array master and one pill master both wanted to take Zhao Feng as their disciple, and both of their cultivations were higher than Deacon Qiu¡¯s.


    The two vice-heads both wanted to take Zhao Feng as their disciple, but Zhao Feng was extremely disturbed because joining one side would offend the other.


    Although he needed to find a background after entering the clan how was he supposed to know which ones were trustworthy? A word from Hai Yun Master might make these two vice-heads cower in fear.


    According to what Lord Guanjun told him, the best way was to first become an inner disciple, then find a strong background, preferably at the Elder level.


    ¡°Thanks for your good intentions, but I have no experience in arrays nor pills. All I wish is to become an inner disciple, then consider the other things.¡± Zhao Feng rejected the offers and said what he wanted to do.


    The white-robed elder and the red-faced elder were both disappointed, but from the lights in their eyes, it seemed that they hadn¡¯t given up yet since Zhao Feng said he would only consider it after becoming an inner disciple.


    _Then we¡¯ll just watch for a bit¡­_


    Soon, Zhao Feng¡¯s perfect score of two was announced as he walked out, but before he left, he asked to look at the eighth and ninth scenes in the Illusion Fish Picture. He felt that the insights contained in it might be even more complex than the four Wind Stances.


    The two vice heads obviously wouldn¡¯t decline.


    Zhao Feng opened his left eye and copied the two scenes into the dimension in his left eye. At this time, the nine changes appeared in his left eye.


    Note: Elder with a capital E means an ¡°Elder¡± whereas ¡°elder¡± with lowercase ¡°e¡± means elderly person.

 110 Bullying the Weak

    The Nine Changes of the Illusion Fish Picture were replayed back and forth in his head. Zhao Feng felt the scenes contained insights so deep that they were even harder than those of the Four Wind Stances. If he was able to fully understand the Illusion Fish Picture, there might be rewards which would be beneficial for him.


    ¡°Haha, if you¡¯re able to understand the Nine Changes of the Illusion Fish Picture, we won¡¯t even have the right to be your Master," the white-robed old man smiled.


    Through their conversation, Zhao Feng realized that the white robed old man was surnamed Zhang and his forte was arrays ,while the red-faced old man¡¯s surname was Guan and he was a proficient pill master.


    Zhao Feng decided to name them Old man Zhang and Old man Guan.


    After leaving the second floor, Zhao Feng realized that Deacon Qiu was looking at him in a different perspective. If it was before, he would be an ant in Deacon Qiu¡¯s eyes, but after passing the third test, Deacon Qiu had finally realized that Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t be underestimated.


    ¡°Old man Guan, why are you fighting with me? Can¡¯t you see that this kid is a array genius?¡± Old man Zhang said angrily.


    A brat of the Consolidated Realm was able to analyze up to the seventh scene in the Illusion FIsh Picture and in a short amount of time too, even array masters of the Ascended Realm couldn¡¯t do that.


    ¡°Wrong! Old man Guan, can¡¯t you see that this fellow has great perspective skills and he has extremely accurate precision. This is what a pill master needs,¡± the old man surnamed Guan retorted.


    As they spoke, they once again broke out into another fight.


    Deacon Qiu was shocked, he didn¡¯t think that a youth with such average talent would catch the attention of two vice-heads.


    He was respectful towards the two vice heads not only because they were both at the half-True Spirit Realm, but because that they had contributed a lot to the Clan and they had authority just below Elders.


    After walking out of the building, Zhao Feng met up with Lord Guanjun, Yang Qingshan, and Nan Gongfan.


    Knowing that Zhao Feng received full marks again, a smile of satisfaction appeared on Lord Guanjun¡¯s face.


    The third examination only ended when the sun went down and according to the points of the youths, the youths placed at the front would be accepted.


    ¡°Only the top twenty will be taken into the Clan.¡± Deacon Qiu said. The youths were all extremely nervous as they awaited their results.


    ¡°First place, Xiao Sun, 8 points. Second place, Yun Mengxiang, 7.5 points. Third place¡­, ¡± a disciple of the Clan announced.


    ¡°Tenth place, Zhao Feng, 6 points!¡±


    Only at the tenth place did Zhao Feng hear his name. Although Zhao Feng had gotten full marks for the last two tests, his first result was much too average, so his overall rank wasn¡¯t high.


    Even Yang Qingshan was ranked higher than him, at sixth place. Nan Gongfan had also successfully entered the top twenty, ranked at seventeenth.


    The three had all been accepted.


    Lord Guanjun was overjoyed and proud. The youths present were all brought by their elders and not many were able to send all of their younger generation in.


    ¡°Lord Guanjun, your 3 disciples are pretty good,¡± Lord Cangtie laughed.


    Lord Guanjun could hear the playfulness in his words. Although his three disciples had successfully entered the Clan, their talents weren¡¯t high, so they wouldn¡¯t be able to leave the bottom class of the Clan.


    On the other hand, Lord Cangtie¡¯s daughter Liu Yue¡¯er had a Upper Spiritual Body and she had been taken in straight after the first test.


    Soon, the names were all announced. The Broken Moon Clan took in a total of twenty-two disciples, including many talented ones such as Sun Yuanhao, who had the Changeable Body and was taken in as a disciple of an Elder straight away.


    Apart from that Liu Yue¡¯er, Xiao Sun, and Yun Mengxiang all had top tier talent as well.


    **********************************


    On the same day, a total of twenty-one disciples headed towards the Outer Class Division to register. Deacon Qiu was a regulator of the Outer Class Division and he told them the rules.


    The group of youths were full of anticipation as they headed towards the Outer Class Division.


    ¡°Oh my god, that hall¡­," one of the youths suddenly exclaimed, and pointed at the azure palace in the sky.


    The azure palace floated in the air and around it, there were strikes of lightning as it gave off an ancient feeling.


    The hearts of the youths shook as they saw this scene, it was just like a fairy tale. In truth, Zhao Feng had already seen this ancient palace outside of the Clan, but coming closer, he saw it in more detail.


    ¡°This is an ancient ruin of the Broken Moon Clan named the Floating Crest Palace and it is one of the forbidden grounds of the Clan. Anyone found entering without permission shall be killed,¡± Deacon Qiu¡¯s voice was cold as he told them what it was.


    The youths suppressed their curiosity and felt that the Floating Crest Palace was even more mysterious.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s sharp eyes felt an ancient aura as he scanned the Floating Crest Palace and his left eye jumped.


    On the way, the view made all the other youths open their eyes in awe.


    Deacon Qiu finally arranged where the twenty-one youths would sleep, and Zhao Feng and the other two had already said goodbye to Lord Guanjun.


    Lord Guanjun looked at Zhao Feng deeply before leaving. The figure going further and further away seemed to be lodged in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Not only will I complete Master¡¯s wish, I¡¯ll also step into the peak of this generation,¡± Zhao Feng clenched his two fists as his blood boiled.


    The world of the Clans had excited him.


    According to the rules of the Broken Moon Clan, new disciples had the first few days off to familiarize the Clan and they would be given a task after. They needed to repay back the Clan for the treatment and resources they received and there were different tasks, some good and some bad.


    Some of the bad tasks included mining and carrying s***, and dangerous ones included killing beasts and exploring ruins.


    ¡°In three days, the Clan will give us tasks, I¡¯m just scared that Quan Chen will interfere and make it hard for us.¡± Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan were worried, while Zhao Feng was calm.


    The new outer disciples were assigned to live in wooden rooms for the three days, but in just a few hours, the newly entered disciples clashed with the old disciples.


    From outside came the sound of fighting, but it quickly subsided.


    Zhao Feng walked out of his wooden room and he found two or three new disciples on the ground puffing for air.


    ¡°New brats, I¡¯m giving you face by letting you wash my clothes and getting me water,¡± a scar-faced man looked at the newly entered disciples coldly.


    ¡°That¡¯s Chen Feng, he¡¯s ranked 28th out of the outer disciples. I can¡¯t believe he even has the interest to bully the new disciples.¡± A few of the older disciples poked out their heads.


    Chen Feng was ranked 28th and he had reached the peak of the 9th rank. Zhao Feng estimated that the opponent''s strength was even a bit stronger than Ye Linyu¡¯s. Even Xiao Sun who had the highest cultivation among the youths didn¡¯t dare to challenge him.


    Under Chen Feng¡¯s power, the few outer disciples went to wash his clothes for him unwillingly.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, I heard that there¡¯s two pretty chicks this time, and one of them is a princess.¡± Chen Feng licked his lips and he walked slowly towards where Princess Yun Mengxiang lived.


    _Creeeek!_ __


    Yun Mengxiang opened her door and said coldly, ¡°I dare you to touch me.¡±


    Chen Feng smiled and didn¡¯t dare offend Yun Mengxiang. Being the Princess of the Cloud Country, the high levels of the country and the Clan had an intimate relationship. Apart from that, Xiao Sun also had close relationships with the Clan since he came from the biggest family in seclusion.


    Even someone like Liu Yue¡¯er was treated well because of her Upper Spiritual Body. Those with high talent had the chance of having a better future, so even Chen Feng didn¡¯t dare to be too arrogant.


    ¡°This Chen Feng¡¯s just a bastard who¡¯s scared of the strong and bullies the weak.¡± The newly entered disciples kept their hatred inside their hearts.


    Chen Feng didn¡¯t dare offend Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxiang, and Liu Yue¡¯er but he was extremely arrogant to everyone else.


    Zhao Feng looked at this coldly, but he didn¡¯t interfere.


    The youths were all excited that night and they weren¡¯t able to sleep, so Zhao Feng just started to train Silver Wall Technique and Returning Breath Technique instead, while trying to gain insights from the Four Wind Stances as well.


    He had already perfected the first two stances and he was three-quarters through on the third stance, Partial Wind Stance.


    Zhao Feng had even tried using the fourth stance, Burning Wind Stance, but the power of it was so strong that Zhao Feng was scared just looking at it.


    Partial Wind Stance aimed for the pinnacle of sharpness and it was a single target offensive skill, while Burning Wind Stance aimed for destruction, burning everything in its path.


    On the second morning, Zhao Feng stood up from his position and walked out of his door after yawning.


    ¡°Kid! Wash my socks!¡± A dominant, arrogant voice sounded.


    Zhao Feng saw that the owner of this voice was that Chen Feng who was ranked 28th of the outer disciples.


    Chen Feng¡¯s voice was cold and arrogant. He threw a pair of smelly socks in front of Zhao Feng then turned around and left as if he knew that Zhao Feng would wash them.


    In reality, Chen Feng knew all their information. For example, Zhao Feng had normal talent and not high cultivation, so Chen Feng didn¡¯t worry that about Zhao Feng getting his revenge.


    ¡°Does this guy really think I¡¯m going to do it?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s face grew dim as he waved his hands and a chaotic wind appeared which ripped Chen Feng¡¯s smelly socks into shreds.


    This scene made the expressions of Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan, who had both just woken up, change dramatically.

 111 Eight Great Realms

    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions caused the other disciples nearby to start sweating. Chen Feng had thrown his socks in front of Zhao Feng then left quickly, so he didn¡¯t see the latter''s actions.


    Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan let out a breath.


    Zhao Feng walked out of where the disciples lived and he went around to other places to familiarize himself with them.


    In another few days time, the Clan would give the new disciples tasks. Soon, Zhao Feng came to where the library was. This library was open to any outer disciple, and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t be shocked as he saw the skills inside.


    ¡°The martial arts of the outer library include half-Holy martial arts and Holy martial arts, which every disciple can see.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that this was incredible. Outside, a half-Holy martial art was already rare, and Holy martial arts was just a legend.


    But the Holy martial arts here were all seen as ''Mortal'' martial arts.


    Mortal, Spiritual, Earth and Sky. This was how the Holy martial arts were ranked. Every tier was split into four ranks: low, middle, high and peak.


    Zhao Feng was somewhat knowledgeable. His Silver Wall Technique belonged to the Low Class Mortal Holy martial arts, but it was one of the best among the low class.


    Zhao Feng roughly scanned the books in the library and he found that most of them weren¡¯t better than his Silver Wall Technique.


    He clearly remembered Lord Guanjun saying that once one became an inner disciple, they would be able to get better martial arts, so he shouldn¡¯t learn too many lower class skills right now.


    Zhao Feng finished scanning across these Mortal Class martial arts, but with no interest at all as this wasn¡¯t his aim.


    Zhao Feng then tried to find books about the Clans to add to his knowledge. One of the books introduced the history of the Clan, but Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t very interested. But one part of the text explained the realms back in the Ancient Era.


    ¡°The path of cultivation is split into Eight great realms: Consolidated Realm, Ascended Realm, True Spirit Realm, Origin Core Realm, Void God Realm, Mystic Light Realm and Heavenly Divine Realm.¡± When Zhao Feng saw this, his heart skipped a beat.


    This was the first time he heard about the realms after the True Spirit Realm. But in the book, it said that there was almost no one above the True Spirit Realm in the Azure Flower Continent, so there wasn¡¯t much information about the Origin Core Realm and above.


    At this same time, it also said that the Heavenly Divine Realm wasn¡¯t proven to exist.


    After reading some other books, Zhao Feng now knew far more about the Azure Flower Continent than before.


    *************************8


    After sitting in the library for half a day, Zhao Feng returned back to where he lived. As he went back to his room, he heard the moans of pain from next door.


    ¡°Brother Yang! Brother Nan!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed as he walked out of his room and saw Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan with black faces next door. ¡°What happened?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression turned dim. Seeing his two brothers like this, his heart fell.


    ¡°It¡¯s that bastard Chen Feng! He came to here to find you, but we still weren¡¯t his opponent even though Brother Yang and I teamed up,¡± Nan Gongfan said through his clenched teeth.


    Ridiculous! After knowing what had happened, his heart burned with anger.


    Truthfully, he was the one who had gotten both Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan into this situation.


    Chen Feng returned two hours later and didn¡¯t find Zhao Feng here. Instead of finishing his ¡®task¡¯, Zhao Feng had destroyed his socks which caused Chen Feng to go into a fit. But because Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t present, Chen Feng released his anger on Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan.


    Even though the two had teamed up they still had no chance at all against Chen Feng.


    Zhao Feng had to admit that he had underestimated Chen Feng¡¯s strength. One had to know that when Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan teamed up, they were able to suppress those of the ninth rank, and Chen Feng was still able to beat them easily. This meant that his true strength was even higher than Ye Linyun¡¯s.


    ¡°Where did Chen Feng go?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned his surroundings as he decided to avenge the two.


    _Teng!_


    He leapt onto the the roof and surveyed the area with his sharp eyes.


    At a certain point in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes landed on a small pavilion on a mountain a few kilometers away. Inside that pavilion were four figures.


    Zhao Feng was extremely familiar with two of them, Quan Chen and Chen Feng. Apart from them, there was also two other outer disciples.


    ¡°En, Chen Feng, good job. Remember, don¡¯t let those brats have a good time,¡± Quan Chen said with a face full of smiles. Being an inner disciple, Chen Feng and the others were extremely respectful towards him.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t able to hear what they were saying, but he could guess what it was about. Just like Lord Guanjun had suspected, Zhao Feng and the other two wouldn¡¯t be bullied by Hai Yun Master himself, but those under him would bully them¡­


    _Good! Very good!_ Zhao Feng took in a long breath as his eyes became sharp.


    Under the flame of anger, he returned back to his room and started to train the Four Wind Stances and Star Finger. Since Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to break through in Silver Wall Technique any time soon, the only way he would gain strength quickly would be through Star Finger and the Four Wind Stances.


    From the anger in his heart, he was able to gain a few more insights into the fourth stance, Burning Wind Stance, because to train this, one needed to have the urge of destruction and Zhao Feng¡¯s anger pushed him to this. Apart from this, his Star Finger had crept forwards towards the seventh level even though it hadn¡¯t broken through yet.


    ******************************


    On the same night, Chen Feng once again appeared.


    ¡°New brat, our feud earlier hasn¡¯t settled yet," an arrogant voice appeared from outside the door.


    The hearts of Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan next door both shook.


    _Good!_ Under Chen Feng¡¯s exclamation, Zhao Feng opened his door and slowly walked out.


    At this time, the nearby newly entered disciples such as Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxiang, Liu Yue¡¯er, and everyone came out.


    ¡°A foolish little clown.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed in one step at a time towards Chen Feng as his eyes became colder and colder. As the killing intent and anger appeared, an aura of destruction was spread. This was the insight gained from the Burning Wind Stance, but Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t fully controlled it yet.


    Chen Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but then he felt that something was off. How could a brat of the eighth rank of the Consolidated Realm give him pressure?


    ¡°Mountain Opening Stance!¡± Chen Feng raised his hands and used a Low Class Mortal Skill, which was equivalent to a Holy martial art. As his hand lifted, an aura of splitting the heavens appeared from Chen Feng¡¯s body.


    Star Finger! Tornado Stance!


    Zhao Feng stabbed out with his finger and beams of azure light swept through the air.


    _Boooom!_ T he two moves clashed.


    After the first exchange, both Zhao Feng and Chen Feng moved back.


    Chen Feng was shocked, he couldn¡¯t imagine that a youth of the eighth rank was able to fight with him.


    The nearby disciples were all surprised.


    One Line Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng immediately stabbed out once more as rays of azure light sliced through the air like fireworks.


    His Star Finger was almost at the seventh level, which was the highest possible, and under the merging of the Tornado Stance, its speed and damage reached an entire new height.


    _Tok! Tok! Tok!_ __


    Explosions sounded in the air as their moves clashed. Even someone as strong as Chen Feng, who had reached peak ninth rank, was pushed back. In just a moment''s time, miniature holes appeared in his clothes and he was lightly injured.


    ¡°Mountain Opening Earth Splitting!¡± Chen Feng exclaimed and then he used his most powerful move, causing the ground to tremble. This was inside the Clan, and the material making up the ground had surpassed metal. If this move was used outside, the ground would¡¯ve crumbled.


    Star Finger! Partial Wind Stance!


    A thin layer of sharpness appeared on the azure light.


    Partial Wind Slice, the 3rd of the 4 Wind Stances, whose forte was offense!


    _Shoooooooook~_ __


    The Inner Strength around Chen Feng had been pierced through and a bloody mark appeared on his chest. If it was another inch deeper, it would have pierced his heart.


    _Plop!_ __


    He fell onto the ground, face white. Zhao Feng¡¯s move just then was too sharp, just a bit more and his life would have ended there.


    _Sssssss!_


    The nearby disciples all took in cold breaths.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that the power of the Partial Wind Stance is so strong, after merging with Star Finger, it could almost surpass a Low Class Mortal skill.¡± Even Zhao Feng himself was surprised. ¡°The insights in the Partial Wind Stance is cruelness, sharpness like the chilling wind in Winter. This causes Star Finger to reach an entire new level.¡±


    If the third Stance, Partial Wind Stance, was already so strong, then how powerful would the fourth Stance, Burning Wind Stance, be?


    ¡°F*** off!¡± Zhao Feng sent Chen Feng flying with his foot. He looked disdainfully at this dog who bullied the weak and sucked up to the strong.


    ¡°Yes yes!¡± Chen Feng¡¯s face was white as he quickly retreated.


    After this battle, the nearby older disciples were all wary of Zhao Feng, while the newly entered disciples were all joyful.


    Xiao Sun and Yun Mengxiang both looked at each other and saw the stunned look in each other¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, thank you,¡± Yang Qingshan said gratefully.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, be careful. I heard that the top twenty outer disciples all have cultivation reaching the half step-Ascended Realm,¡± Nan Gongfan warned. Half-Step Ascended Realm was the same half-step Holy martial realm that First Guard was at.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Under this pressure, more of his potential would be ignited. As long as the opponent didn¡¯t reach the Ascended Realm, he at least had the power to fight back.


    It was extremely quiet for the next two days, Zhao Feng and the others didn¡¯t even get disturbed and using this chance, Zhao Feng immediately started cultivating and his Star Finger reached the seventh level!


    At the same time, his Partial Wind Stance was almost fully learned.

 112 Tasks

    After this breakthrough, Zhao Feng was confident that he could take care of any problems among the outer disciples. Star Finger was a peak class skill in the mortal world and he had trained it to the 7th level, which meant that even those of the 9th ranks wouldn¡¯t be his opponent.


    Partial Wind Stance was the single-target offensive skill in the Four Wind Stances, and it would be a half-Holy martial art even when used alone. When merged with Star Finger, its power was so great that it almost reached the Middle Class Mortal rank.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng¡¯s Silver Wall Technique was at the Low Class Mortal rank and according to what he knew, there were only a few disciples who had trained Low Class Mortal skills to the high level.


    Only inner disciples could train Middle Class Mortal skills, and if one didn¡¯t reach the Ascended Realm, they wouldn¡¯t be able to learn a Middle Class Mortal skill even if they had one.


    ¡°There¡¯s still the Burning Wind Stance, which I¡¯ve just barely gained insight into,¡± Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    ¡°The last move of the 4 Wind Stances, ¡®Burning Wind Stance¡¯, is the most complex of all. If I¡¯m able to understand 60-70% of it, I might even have the chance to challenge those of the Ascended Realm.¡±


    He yawned as he walked out his room to find Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan. Ever since Zhao Feng had beaten Chen Feng, the three didn¡¯t get disturbed in any way. But at this moment, Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan were all slightly worried.


    ¡°The Clans task allocation to the disciples is tomorrow,¡± Yang Qingshan said.


    The three knew that there were good and bad tasks.


    ¡°We¡¯re only outer disciples. If we can¡¯t even solve these miniature problems, how will we fight Bei Moi? There¡¯s also Hai Yun Master Elder.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t fear anything at all, his goal right now was to become an inner disciple because the true geniuses were all inner disciples.


    Those as talented and strong as Bei Moi and Sun Yuanhao had all become inner disciples, and they had Elders as their Master.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, if we can¡¯t even solve stuff like this, we won¡¯t even have the right to pick up Bei Moi¡¯s shoes.¡±


    Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan nodded their heads as confidence and battle intent returned to them.


    Just as the three were speaking, the area where the outer disciples lived suddenly turned quiet.


    ¡°He¡¯s here!¡±


    Low whispers of fear and wariness were heard.


    Who was here? Zhao Feng and the other two realized that something was wrong.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t Hou Yuan, the 4th rank of the outer disciples, have his own courtyard? What¡¯s he doing here?¡±


    A few of the older outer disciples were wary and respectful.


    At this time, three people walked in from the entrance to where they lived. The middle person was a bare-chested figure full of muscle and although he didn¡¯t release his aura on purpose, it still shocked the others.


    With every step that towering figure took, the ground would tremble and the hearts of the nearby outer disciples would shake.


    He was ranked fourth among the outer disciples, Hou Yuan.


    ¡°What strength! He can demolish normal 9th ranks with just his body alone.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye caught the bone and muscle structure in Hou Yan¡¯s body, and he couldn¡¯t help but be shocked.


    In terms of body strength, Hou Yuan was even stronger than him. Zhao Feng was certain he had trained in a Technique that was not any weaker than the Silver Wall Technique.


    What was more terrifying was that this person''s cultivation had also reached the half-Ascended Realm. Apparently, the top 20 outer disciples had all reached the half-Ascended Realm, which meant that they were on the same level as First Guard.


    Half-Ascended Realm and strong physical strength. It was hard to imagine how terrifying this person was.


    _Tah! Tah!_


    As Hou Yuan drew closer, the people close to him would feel their heads tingle.


    ¡°What power! There¡¯s no one apart from Master that can give me such pressure.¡±


    Yang Qingshan took a deep breath and he glanced at Nan Gongfan in shock. They were certain that Hou Yuan was even stronger than First Guard, and much more powerful than a normal half -Ascended Realm.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng scanned the two next to Hou Yuan and realized that one of them was Chen Feng, who had been beaten by him. On Hou Yuan¡¯s right side was a short-haired youth whose cultivation had also reached the half-Ascended Realm.


    ¡°Why is Ji Fengyun, ranked thirteenth among the outer disciples, also here? Don¡¯t all the top twenty outer disciples have their own courtyards since they¡¯re ¡®substitute inner disciples¡¯?¡±


    The gazes of the crowd moved onto the short-haired youth.


    The three were led by Hou Yuan, fourth of the outer disciples. Apart from him there was also Ji Fengyuan, ranked thirteenth. The weakest was Chen Feng, ranked twenty-eighth, who had reached the peak 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm.


    Chen Feng laughed coldly as he looked in Zhao Feng¡¯s direction, then he whispered something to Ji Fengyun and Hou Yuan.


    Hou Yuan and Ji Fengyun then turned their sights to Zhao Feng, Nan Gongfan, and Yang Qingshan. Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan only felt their bodies stiffen and their breaths grow short.


    That unseeable pressure made them puff for air, only Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was normal.


    ¡°Chen Feng, you¡¯re so useless. You can¡¯t even defeat these three little brats.¡± Ji Fengyun shook his head. Chen Feng merely smiled and was extremely respectful towards these two.


    In the Broken Moon Clan, the top twenty outer disciples were seen as ¡®substitutes for inner disciples¡¯, and the treatment they received far surpassed normal outer disciples.


    He knew clearly how terrifying the two in front of him were. Just Ji Fengyun alone was able to defeat him in two moves.


    ¡°Now¡¯s not the time, the others will say that we¡¯re bullying these new disciples. Wait until the tasks are handed out, then do whatever you want.¡±


    Hou Yuan was too lazy to even bother looking at Zhao Feng and co., it was Ji Fengyun who looked over the three with interest.


    The three youths hadn¡¯t even reached the 9th rank, but one of them was able to beat Chen Feng who was at the peak 9th rank, which slightly surprised him.


    Hou Yuan and the two slowly walked to the circle where the new disciples lived, then left.


    _Hu~_


    The nearby disciples all let out a long breath. They were all wary of the ¡®substitute inner disciples¡¯, especially Hou Yuan because there was a rumor saying that he had challenged an inner disciple of the Ascended Realm.


    The rest of the day passed smoothly.


    \------


    _On the second morning..._


    ¡°All the new disciples come out.¡± A Vice-Deacon rounded up all the people with a stern face.


    Allocating the tasks!


    The new disciples all walked quickly out of their rooms.


    Soon, the twenty-one disciples gathered with Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxiang, and Liu Yue¡¯er at the front. Zhao Feng realized that Xiao Sun¡¯s cultivation had reached peak 9th rank, while Liu Yue¡¯er and Yun Mengxiang had both reached peak 8th rank as well.


    ¡°How is their cultivation progressing so fast?¡± Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s improvement could be understood since she had high talent. But Yun Meng Xiang and Xiao Sun were both only at the Middle Tier Spiritual Body, not that much better than Yang Qingshan.


    Zhao Feng opened his left eye and saw traces of resources residing inside Yun Mengxiang and Xiao Sun¡¯s bodies.


    He immediately understood that the identities of the two weren¡¯t normal; one was a Princess while the other was from a large family, and both had connections with the Clan.


    ¡°Hmph.¡± Liu Yue¡¯er turned around and just happened to exchange glances with Zhao Feng. A mocking look on her face appeared. Liu Yue¡¯er was already irritated at Zhao Feng¡¯s attitude before the test, but his ¡®pretending to be mysterious¡¯ had shocked her and her grandfather. Only later did she know that they had been tricked by Zhao Feng, a measly Low Tier Spiritual Body was only average in the clans. It couldn¡¯t even be compared with hers.


    Facing Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s gaze, Zhao Feng shamelessly blinked his eyes and put on an ¡®innocent¡¯ expression.


    ¡°This bastard¡¯s talent is so normal, yet he dares to not put anything in his eyes.¡± Liu Yue¡¯er was so angry that she stomped her foot as her face turned slightly red. She thought of Zhao Feng as a frog at the bottom of the well, and every time she saw Zhao Feng, she had the urge to hit him.


    ¡°Next, I¡¯ll be announcing your tasks.¡± The Vice-Deacon surveyed the area coldly and instantly, all the sounds disappeared.


    Although the Vice-Deacon¡¯s strength and power wasn¡¯t as high as a Deacon¡¯s, it still surpassed most inner disciples.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly turned to a wooden roof a few miles away. On the roof sat three people; Hou Yuan, Ji Fengyun, and another man wearing a black-striped shirt, Quan Chen.


    ¡°Hehehe, Vice Deacon Wang has a bit of a relationship with my Master. I only needed to say something and he will make those people not get any good tasks.¡± Quan Chen was like a spectator watching a show.


    At this moment, the Vice Deacon announced all the tasks.


    Princess Yun Mengxiang was sent to the Grass-Wood Division where she would be an apprentice in pill making. This was a job that caused all the others to be jealous.


    Next, Xiao Sun and Liu Yue¡¯er both received good jobs, which was all within expectations.


    After these three, the tasks of the others were good and bad, although none were better than the first three.


    Finally, it was Zhao Feng and co.¡¯s turn.


    ¡°Yang Qingshan shall go to the medicine fields of the North Mountain and carry all the s***, spray the fertilizers, and water the plants. Each day you must complete ? of a hectare.¡±


    ¡°Nan Gongfan shall be a transporter, carrying the trash down the mountain, summing up to twenty-five thousand kilograms per day.¡±


    The other disciples looked towards Zhao Feng and the two with pity.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t speak out because this was all within expectations.


    ¡°En, the task allocations end here.¡± The Vice Deacon closed the little book in his hand.

 113 Challenging Substitute Inner Disciple

    The tasks had all been allocated, some were happy with what they got, while others were sad.


    There were only a few people who had received good tasks, but the rest didn¡¯t have any choice because they were outer disciples and newbies, the bottom class of the clan.


    The most unlucky ones were Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan, whose jobs were bad and large scaled, therefore they wouldn¡¯t even have much time to cultivate.


    After announcing the tasks, the Vice Deacon closed his handbook and was about to leave.


    _Ehhhhhh?_


    Zhao Feng was stunned, why did everyone else have a task and not him?


    Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxiang, Yang Qingshan, and Nan Gongfan all had tasks. Even though some were good and some were bad, the Vice-Deacon didn¡¯t even mention Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Wait! Vice-Deacon!¡± Zhao Feng called out.


    ¡°What? I¡¯m only responsible for announcing the tasks, the jobs you do are overlooked by others.¡± A dissatisfied expression appeared on the Vice Deacon¡¯s face as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    The breeze suddenly stopped. An unbearable pressure appeared and the breathing of the youths grew heavier. They finally realized that the person standing in front of them was a Vice Deacon.


    There were also a bunch of people who gloated as they looked at Zhao Feng. Liu Yue¡¯er was among them, but she still sweated for Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Can I ask Vice Deacon Wang why I didn¡¯t get a task?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s actions were respectful and careful. He clearly knew that this person in front of him was several times stronger than Lord Guanjun.


    Being a Vice Deacon, his cultivation was at least at the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm; even inner disciples wouldn¡¯t offend him.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words made the other youths suspicious. Why did everyone else apart from him get a task?


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Vice Deacon Wang was expressionless.


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡± The youth was humble and confident. He had just entered the Clan and he had no problems, so the Vice Deacon couldn¡¯t do anything to him.


    ¡°You¡¯re Zhao Feng?¡± Surprise appeared on Vice Deacon Wang¡¯s face as he surveyed Zhao Feng in a new light.


    The pressure just then also faded away. Those with good perception realized that the Vice Deacon¡¯s expression became a bit more kind, as if Zhao Feng was important.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Zhao Feng answered; he didn¡¯t expect Vice Deacon Wang to know him.


    ¡° _Cough cough_ , because of some special reasons, your task hasn¡¯t been decided yet.¡± Vice Deacon Wang squeezed out a smile.


    What!?


    The new disciples were all shocked, why did Vice Deacon Wang become so respectful?


    There was definitely something going on when one didn¡¯t proceed with the norm.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled, but the Vice Deacon didn¡¯t say anything more as he left.


    Being a Vice Deacon, he held a high position and he was only given the job of announcing the tasks, not the details.


    Xiao Sun and Princess Yun Mengxiang inspected Zhao Feng in a new light.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s performance in the second exam surprised them, but they didn¡¯t put it at heart since his talent was only so-so. But right now, only Zhao Feng didn¡¯t get a task.


    Liu Yue¡¯er was somewhat irritated; she was originally going to see Zhao Feng lose face, but the latter had gotten special treatment instead!


    Even Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan were curious now.


    Zhao Feng shook his head, meaning that he didn¡¯t understand either.


    A total of twenty-one disciples apart from Zhao Feng had all gotten their tasks. On the same day, Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan both went to report to the overseer.


    ¡°S***! I¡¯m at the same place as that bastard Chen Feng. His job is much easier than mine¡­¡± Nan Gongfan¡¯s face was green.


    ¡°The field I¡¯m at is under Ji Fengyun¡¯s control and my job is the hardest of all.¡± Yang Qingshan¡¯s expression was also ugly.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed.


    Chen Feng, Ji Fengyun. This meant that there was still Hou Yuan! These three were all on Quan Chen¡¯s side.


    \------


    On the same day, Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan both went to their own sections to complete their tasks.


    From the view of outsiders, it was a great glory to enter a Clan, but none of them knew that outer disciples were only the bottom of the bottom. They didn¡¯t even get many resources. All they did was help out with the matters of the Clan.


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered what Lord Guanjun had said: ¡°After entering the Clan, your first goal is to become an Inner Disciple, because outer disciples aren¡¯t even important. If one or two outer disciples die, the Clan won¡¯t even care.


    ¡°Only inner disciples will be protected and raised by the Clan. At that time, Hai Yun Master would be hard pressed to harm you.¡±


    Outer disciples were just like ants; if some of them died, the upper positions of the Clan wouldn¡¯t even mind. Only by becoming inner disciples would one stir the real interest of the Clan.


    Because he didn¡¯t have a task, Zhao Feng decided to see the jobs of his two brothers.


    Yang Qingshan was to water, fertilize and carry all the s*** throughout the fields, a tiring and dirty job.


    Those who had the same task as he had much easier jobs.


    ¡°Newbie, faster. If you don¡¯t finish by night, your pay will be deducted,¡± a cold voice sneered from a nearby house.


    Zhao Feng glanced over and saw Ji Fengyun pushing Yang Qingshan. Yang Qingshan was fed up, but he could only hold it in.


    For example, Zhao Feng and the others would all receive one substandard grade primal crystal stone every month and they would get different sorts of pills.


    Primal crystal stones were said to be formed from the heaven and earth, and they contained energy which was great for cultivation.


    True primal crystal stones cost a fortune, and they could greatly increase one¡¯s cultivation speed. Those of the Ascended Realm would even fight for them.


    They were split into different grades: low, middle, top, and extreme. Being outer disciples, they couldn¡¯t get these true primal crystal stones, or else they would¡¯ve all reached the Ascended Realm already by using them.


    But even then, substandard crystal stones were much better than the resources of the mortal world. The pills given by the Clan were seen as ¡®Holy pills¡¯ outside, but the lowest tier of resources given out here was even better than the ¡®Burning Body Strengthening Pill¡¯ Zhao Feng had used before.


    Yang Qingshan was extremely furious, but he didn¡¯t dare explode.


    Firstly, Ji Fengyun was the overseer here; if he was to rebuke him, Ji Fengyun could punish him. Secondly, it would hurt Yang Qingshan badly if his pay was deducted.


    So up to now, Yang Qingshan didn¡¯t resist at all.


    Seeing this, Zhao Feng wanted to help.


    ¡°Stop right there! No one can complete his task for him!¡± Ji Fengyun walked over sternly.


    ¡°There¡¯s no rule like this! In reality, when they¡¯re busy, they can ask for leave and let someone take over. I don¡¯t believe that Brother Ji will stay here every day and not cultivate,¡± Zhao Feng was calm as he explained his reasons.


    ¡°F*** off! I¡¯m in charge of this place, no one shall interfere!¡± Ji Fengyun said impatiently. He didn¡¯t listen to reason at all!


    One had to have the qualification to be able to reason with him. In his eyes, Zhao Feng and the other newbies were just toys in his hand.


    ¡°I understand what you¡¯re trying to do, but you should go,¡± Yang Qingshan tried to tell Zhao Feng to leave.


    ¡°Ji Fengyun, I heard that you¡¯re one of the 20 substitute inner disciples.¡± A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, what do you want?¡± Ji Fengyun¡¯s expression was arrogant and superior. Being a substitute inner disciple, his treatment was better than other outer disciples.


    From a certain point of view, the substitutes were already inner disciples. All they needed to do was reach the Ascended Realm, and they would immediately become one.


    ¡°According to the rules of the Clan, I can challenge you. If I win, I can replace you as a substitute inner disciple.¡±


    Battle intent surged out from Zhao Feng.


    A challenge!


    Challenging a substitute inner disciple!


    The argument attracted the attention of a few other nearby outer disciples.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, don¡¯t be rash.¡± Yang Qingshan¡¯s expression changed.


    The twenty substitute inner disciples were the elite of the outer disciples. Their cultivations had all reached the half-Ascended Realm. Being ranked thirteenth, Ji Fengyun was at least as strong as First Guard.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ I admire your courage! According to the rules, you must apply to challenge me. Three days after that, you will be able to fight me. In those three days, I won¡¯t find trouble for your friend, but if you fail¡­he¡¯ll just be a dog!¡±


    Ji Fengyun laughed loudly as he pointed at Yang Qingshan. His actions meant Zhao Feng must know the consequences of challenging him.


    ¡°Fine! See you in three days time.¡±


    Zhao Feng returned back to the Grass-Wood Division to see how Nan Gongfan was doing.


    Nan Gongfan¡¯s responsibility was to move the trash, and the trash of the Grass-Wood Division had piled up into a mountain.


    One would usually create tens of pills with a mountain of resources, therefore there was a lot of trash.


    Pill making involved gathering the essence of different plants, and the remaining 99% was just rubbish.


    Nan Gongfan¡¯s situation wasn¡¯t any better than Yang Qingshan¡¯s. Because he was with Chen Feng, the stuff he carried was what others didn¡¯t want to. Seeing Zhao Feng walk over, Chen Feng¡¯s actions dimmed down. Zhao Feng beating him that day was still fresh in his memory.


    ¡°When I become a substitute inner disciple, they¡¯ll be warier if they want to bully my friends.¡±


    Thinking up on that point, Zhao Feng walked away and applied to battle thirteenth-ranked Ji Fengyun. When night fell, all the new disciples had heard the news.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s challenge had been accepted!


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s been such a long time since anyone¡¯s challenged the substitute inner disciples. These new fellas are sure courageous.¡±


    Many people were waiting to see this joke.

 114 Grass-Wood Division

    Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan dragged their tired bodies back to their room.


    ¡°What? Brother Zhao Feng challenged a substitute inner disciple?¡± Nan Gongfan was surprised when he heard this news. Yang Qingshan sighed, feeling guilty and worried.


    He worried about Zhao Feng, as well as his own future.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, you were far too rash. I know it was for my good, but¡­ ¡±


    Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan found Zhao Feng, they weren¡¯t confident that the latter would win.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, I know you¡¯re good at fighting, but if you want to battle Ji Fengyun, you should at least reach the 9th rank first, so you have a higher chance of winning. Furthermore, one can challenge a substitute inner disciples once every six months,¡± Nan Gongfan said.


    No one thought that Zhao Feng would win because he was only at the 8th rank of the Consolidated Realm while his opponent was at half-Ascended Realm.


    From Nan Gongfan¡¯s point of view, Zhao Feng was just wasting this chance, and if Zhao Feng wanted to challenge again, he would have to wait half a year. In the eyes of the other outer disciples, Zhao Feng¡¯s action was ridiculous.


    ¡°Haha, good, we¡¯ll be able to see how strong a substitute inner disciple is in three days,¡± Xiao Sun smiled and said towards Princess Yun Mengxiang.


    After entering the Clan, Xiao Sun¡¯s cultivation had reached peak 9th rank and he was wondering whether or not he should challenge the top twenty. But right now, he wasn¡¯t fully confident and Zhao Feng¡¯s actions were like a ¡®detector¡¯, so Xiao Sun was obviously happy.


    _Inside the room..._


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t mind what others thought, but he still had to explain his actions to his two friends.


    ¡°My aim is to become an inner disciple, and if I can¡¯t even take care of these outer disciples, what right do I have to reach further into this world?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was confident.


    Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan looked at each other in shock. Zhao Feng¡¯s talent wasn¡¯t better than theirs, but his ambition was much bigger. From what he was saying, it seemed as if he wanted to crush all the outer disciples.


    \------


    The morning of the second day, Vice Deacon Wang arrived at the lodgings of the outer disciples.


    ¡°Greetings, Vice Deacon!¡± The nearby disciples all bowed down respectfully. Vice Deacons had a position even higher than inner disciples.


    Vice Deacon Wang nodded his head and arrived at Zhao Fen¡¯s room. The nearby outer disciples all turned towards Zhao Feng, who had just walked out.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your task has been allocated. Follow me to the Outer Clan Hall.¡± Vice Deacon Wang was full of smiles.


    ¡°Thank you, Deacon.¡± Zhao Feng followed Vice Deacon Wang respectfully.


    This scene caused the other disciples to look at each other in surprise. If it was just a normal job, the Deacon would¡¯ve just announced it...but Zhao Feng¡¯s situation was different? First, the Deacon didn¡¯t announce his task. Second, they were headed towards the Outer Clan Hall, where all the powerful figures were.


    Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan looked at each other worriedly. The three of them were all Lord Guanjun¡¯s disciples, and they had already created a feud with an Elder, so their path was destined to be harder than others.


    After walking for a time, Vice Deacon Wang led Zhao Feng to the Outer Clan Division. This place controlled everything about the outer disciples and apparently, the Head of the Outer Clan Division was an Elder who had reached the True Spirit Realm.


    The True Spirit Realm! When one reached it, it meant that they were at the peak of the Clan and were not often seen since they were almost always in secluded meditation. How would they have the time to bother with these minor things?


    Therefore, the Head of the Outer Clan Division wasn¡¯t its true controller, the Vice-Heads were.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the Vice-Heads are inside waiting for you.¡± Deacon Qiu, who had led the entrance exam that day, was waiting outside of the hall. Deacon Qiu and Vice Deacon Wang were both from the Outer Clan Division, so they were quite familiar with each other, and this was why Vice Deacon Wang¡¯s had a respectful attitude towards Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng greeted Deacon Qiu, then immediately entered the hall.


    There were three terrifying auras in the hall; these auras were much stronger than anyone else that Zhao Feng had felt so far.


    Of the three auras, two of them were familiar; they came from a white-robed elder and a red-faced elder.


    Zhao Feng knew these two old men; they were Old Man Zhang and Old Man Guan, who he had met in the third test.


    These two were both Vice Heads, and they had a high authority.


    Apart from the two, there was an azure-clothed middle-aged person who had a stern face and whose aura was on par with the two others.


    Zhao Feng guessed that this person would be the Vice Head of the Outer Clan Division.


    ¡°Greetings, three vice heads.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to be slow, he was only a lowly ant of the Clan and any one of these three people held actual power and cultivation.


    Seeing Zhao Feng walk in, both Old Man Zhang and Old Man Guan¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°Haha, he¡¯s Zhao Feng?¡± The azure clothed vice head looked at Zhao Feng with interest. Being a Vice Head, he knew everything about Zhao Feng and it was someone like him, a Low Tier Spiritual Body, that the two other Vice Heads were fighting for.


    The two Vice Heads, Old Man Zhang and Old Man Guan, both wanted Zhao Feng to work for them, and the azure clothed Vice Head obviously didn¡¯t mind. The problem was that both of them wanted him, and neither of them gave way!


    Who should he give Zhao Feng to? This was a brain-breaking question.


    Under this situation, the azure-clothed Vice Head called Zhao Feng over to discuss the matter.


    Soon, Zhao Feng understood what everything was all about.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, what do you think? If you enter the Grass-Wood Division and follow me, I¡¯ll promise your future will be great,¡± Old Man Guan said expectantly.


    Pill master seemed to be a great occupation, and Zhao Feng knew that most of the pills supplied by the Clan were made by the Grass-Wood Division. If he was to become Old Man Guan¡¯s disciple, he would have the advantage in terms of pills.


    One had to know that once a pill reached the tier of ¡®Spiritual Pill¡¯, its use was at an entire level higher than the best pills in the mortal world.


    ¡°Peh! This kid¡¯s true talent is arrays! Zhao Feng! As long as you follow me, I¡¯ll give you ten extra substandard primal crystal stones every month and there¡¯s a ¡®Spiritual Condensing array¡¯ in the Thousand Leaf Pond, the liquid inside has been there for a thousand years and it is great for body strengthening¡­¡±


    Old Man Guan immediately threw out a bigger bait.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. An outer disciple would receive one substandard primal crystal stone, which could greatly increase one¡¯s cultivation speed and Old Man Guan had decided to give him ten. Apart from this, there was also an array in the Thousand Leaf Pond which greatly increased one¡¯s cultivation speed.


    After their respective suggestions, the two Vice Heads started swearing and cursing each other again.


    The azure-clothed Vice Head couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.¡°I have a suggestion.¡±


    What? The two old men stopped their bickering and turned towards the Vice Head.


    ¡°Your argument is whether Zhao Feng is better at pill making or creating arrays, right?¡± the Vice Head smiled.


    ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The two nodded their heads.


    ¡°Then it¡¯s much easier. Let Zhao Feng learn at each place for a while, then see which place he¡¯s better suited for,¡± the Vice Head said with a smile.


    Hearing his suggestion, both Old Man Guan and Old Man Zhang thought for a while, then nodded their heads in agreement.


    It looked like this was the only way to settle where Zhao Feng went.


    There was only one last problem left, and that was where Zhao Feng wanted to go first.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with Vice Head Guan first and stay at the Grass-Wood Division first,¡± Zhao Feng gave his answer.


    The reason he chose the Grass-Wood Division was because both Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan¡¯s jobs were connected to the Grass-Wood Division. Yang Qingshan was a farmer, while Nan Gongfan had to carry the trash.


    If he was working at the Grass-Wood Division, he could look after them.


    The argument was finally settled and through their discussion, it was arranged for Zhao Feng to first stay at the Grass-Wood Division for ten days, then go to Old Man Zhang¡¯s.


    Like this, Zhao Feng¡¯s task was handed down.


    \------


    On the same day, he followed Old Man Guan to the Grass-Wood Division.


    On the way, Old Man Guan kept on saying how good pill makers were and if Zhao Feng followed him, he would have a greater future.


    Zhao Feng kept on agreeing with what he said.


    ¡°Greeting, Vice Head.¡±


    After entering the Grass-Wood Division, everyone bowed down and Zhao Feng could see that the respect of these people came from the bottom of their hearts.


    There were pill masters and inner disciples amongst these people.


    ¡°Why¡¯s that kid with Vice Head Guan?¡± an outer disciple exclaimed after they passed a certain hill. That outer disciple was Chen Feng.


    ¡°Could that kid be Vice Head Guan¡¯s new personal helper?¡±


    ¡°Impossible! Vice Head Guan is extremely strict in choosing personal helpers. An inner disciple last time was even fired.¡±


    The nearby disciples broke out in a discussion, but looking at how Old Man Guan was heading towards the important grounds of the Grass-Wood Division, it seemed Zhao Feng was very important.


    Soon, Old Man Guan led Zhao Feng to the important grounds. This place gave off a strong medicine smell and pill masters could be frequently seen here.


    ¡°Zhao Feng?¡± a girl¡¯s voice sounded out.


    Looking over, Zhao Feng saw that the owner of this voice was the Princess of the Cloud Country, Yun Mengxiang.


    Yun Mengxiang was helping a beautiful woman tidy up some items.


    ¡°Vice Head Guan.¡± The woman turned around and greeted Old Man Guan with a smile.


    ¡°Pill master Yun Yao, this is your niece that you talked about?¡± Old Man Guan asked.


    The two knew each other pretty well, and after a bit of introductions, Zhao Feng found out that the pill master named Yun Yao was Yun Mengxiang¡¯s real aunt.


    ¡°Old Man Guan, this kid¡¯s your new personal helper?¡± Pill master Yun Yao looked at Zhao Feng with interest.


    ¡°This is a pill-making genius that I finally wrestled from Old Man Zhang.¡± Old Man Guan said proudly.

 115 Pill Making Genius, Part One

    Genius in pill making? He¡­


    Yun Mengxiang slightly paused as suspicion and shock rose in her eyes. She never would have thought that the youth she thought was normal would be a ¡®pill making genius¡¯, and from Old Man Guan¡¯s tone, apparently he had fought with another Vice Head for Zhao Feng.


    Hearing this, Pill Master Yun Yao was also surprised, and she surveyed Zhao Feng in a new light.


    In terms of pill making, Yun Yao had to admit that Vice Head Guan was one of the best and most knowledgeable. But no matter how hard she looked, she couldn¡¯t find anything special about Zhao Feng. If the reason he was a genius was because he was young and had a lot of potential, he still couldn¡¯t be compared with some pill masters in the Clan that had been studying pill making ever since they were young. Looking at Princess Yun Mengxiang¡¯s expression, Yun Yao started to think Old Man Guan¡¯s eyes were off.


    ¡°Have you ever learned pill making or helped someone make pills before?¡± Yun Yao asked.


    Pill making needed a vast amount of knowledge as its foundation.


    ¡°Nope, I don¡¯t know a thing.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hide this because both Old Man Guan and Old Man Zhang knew this. In reality, he was also curious as to why Vice Head Guan and Vice Head Zhang had chosen him.


    _Doesn¡¯t know a thing?_


    Yun Yao and Yun Mengxiang looked at each other in disbelief. A youth without any knowledge of pill making had been fought over by a pill master and an array master.


    Dissatisfaction immediately rose in Princess Yun Mengxiang¡¯s heart. She didn¡¯t believe that she was worse than Zhao Feng. Yun Yao also felt dissatisfaction for her niece because the latter had started learning pill making at a young age just for this day.


    Considering this, Pill Master Yun Yao called Old Man Guan to the side.


    ¡°Vice Head Guan, my niece is the Princess of the Cloud Country and she has studied the path of pills since she was young. In terms of cultivation and pill making, she surpasses that youth named Zhao by far¡­¡± Yun Yao confidently recommended her niece to Old Man Guan.


    In what aspect was she weaker than Zhao Feng?


    In terms of identity, she was a princess, and thus surpassed even inner disciples. In terms of talent and knowledge of pill making, Yun Mengxiang easily beat Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Haha, Pill master Yun Yao, do you think my eyes have gone bad? I¡¯ve been in the Clan for almost a hundred years, what kind of genius haven¡¯t I seen?¡± Old Man Guan laughed.Throwing aside cultivation and authority, he also beat Yun Yao in experience.


    Yun Yao was speechless. Yes, she had only thought for her niece, but she had forgotten Vice Head Guan¡¯s experience. In almost a century of time, the Vice Head had seen too many geniuses rise and fall.


    Maybe there was something different about Zhao Feng¡­


    Although she thought about this and still felt some dissatisfaction, she wanted to see what was so special about Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve just arrived at the Grass-Wood Division, you should familiarize yourself with the the ¡®Beginner¡¯s Guide for Pill Making¡¯ and the ¡®Pill Flame Heart Manual¡¯. If you gain insights into them, it would be even better. Apart from this, you will follow Pill Master Yun Yao and learn the foundation of pill making¡­¡±


    Old Man Guan soon informed Zhao Feng of what to do.


    Zhao Feng took the Beginners Guide to Pill Making and the Pill Flame Heart Manual, nodded his head, and left.


    ¡°Old Man Guan will be making some extremely important Spiritual Pills during the next few days, so I can answer your questions about pills,¡± Yun Yao said with a smile.


    Like this, Zhao Feng and Princess Yun Mengxiang started to learn from Yun Yao.


    ¡°He doesn¡¯t even know the basics of pill making, so how would he gain sights from the Beginner Guide for Pill Making? Even I felt that it was hard to learn the Pill Flame Heart Manual.¡± Princess Mengxiang curled her lips in disdain.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was innocent as he shook his head helplessly. He hadn¡¯t even chosen to come here.


    Princess Yun Mengxiang felt as if she had hit a pillow, how did Zhao Feng get such luck?


    ¡°Mengxiang, don¡¯t be disrespectful,¡± Yun Yao said harshly, then turned apologetically to Zhao Feng. ¡°There¡¯s a vast amount of knowledge involved in pill making. You must remember the elements of all types of plants and from that basis, you will be able to gather the essence of these plants. In the Broken Moon Clan, every pill maker must familiarize themselves, or even memorize the ¡®Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations¡¯.¡±


    Yun Mengxiang, waiting to the side, was stunned; it was extremely hard to memorize the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations.


    Tens of thousands of resources were included in that book, and normal pill makers could only memorize a bit of it. Even Princess Yun Mengxiang herself had only memorized 2000-3000 plants and their elements.


    What was auntie¡¯s intention by making Zhao Feng read the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations?


    Yun Mengxiang¡¯s brain suddenly clicked and she understood. A smile appeared on her lips; when this brat saw the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations, the vast amount of knowledge would make him quit.


    ¡°Thank you for your suggestion.¡± Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t suspicious at all.


    _Shua! Shua! Shua!_


    Zhao Feng first flipped through the Beginners Guide for Pill Making and Pill Flame Heart Manual and soon, he had memorized them both.


    The Beginners Guide for Pills Making was pretty easy to understand because the contents were lodged in his head and therefore, it was easier to understand. Apart from that, Zhao Feng¡¯s understanding and analytical ability far surpassed other youths of the same age.


    It was the Pill Flame Heart Manual that was tricky; it was almost as hard as a Low Class Mortal skill, but the true problem was that Zhao Feng lacked basic knowledge.


    ¡°It looks like Pill Master Yun Yao is right.¡± Zhao Feng went to find the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations.


    The Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations was expensive and normal outer disciples weren¡¯t allowed to read it, but with Pill Master Yun Yao¡¯s help, this wasn¡¯t a problem.


    Zhao Feng soon received the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations, but he paused when he saw it.


    This book was the size of a horse cart, and contained the elements and other information about different types of plants.


    Seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s dazed expression, Yun MengXiang laughed in her heart.


    _Shua! Shua! Shua¡­!_


    Without saying another word, Zhao Feng started to flip through the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations. His actions stunned Yun Yao and Yun Mengxiang.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, don¡¯t be too rash. Even geniuses need a few years to fully comprehend it,¡± Yun Yao laughed.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t reply, and instead, his speed increased even more; it was like he wanted to eat the Ten Thousand Plants Illustrations.


    Seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®rash¡¯ expression, Yun Yao and Yun Mengxiang looked at each other and smiled.


    _Half an hour later¡­_


    _Hu~_


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as he returned the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations with an excited look in his eyes. After reading the book, his knowledge had increased significantly. The book contained things that he hadn¡¯t heard of before.


    Some of the legendary items had heaven-defying effects.


    For example, Zhao Feng saw this plant called the ¡®Mystic Heavens Spiritual Root¡¯, which could immediately upgrade one¡¯s normal Spiritual Body to an Earth or Sky Body.


    There were other weird plants, such as Thousand Year Sleep Grass, which could make one fall into a deep sleep for a thousand years while maintaining their body without rotting; or ¡®Ancient Gods Blood¡¯, where could one gain the power of Gods and turn into a three-headed six-armed figure¡­


    All in all, the Ten Thousand Plants Illustrations made Zhao Feng realize that there was a greater world out there, and from what he felt, the Clan he was at was only a tiny corner of the true world.


    ¡°Thank you for making me realize how colorful the world truly is.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s face was flushed red as he returned the book.


    Yun Yao¡¯s expression was extremely weird. She didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng would return the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations so quickly.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to read it a bit more?¡± Yun Yao thought that Zhao Feng would realize how hard it was and quit, but Zhao Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t seem like that.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine just looking at it once.¡± Zhao Feng smiled, but he didn¡¯t explain because a normal pill master needed decades to memorize the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations.


    For the next two days, Zhao Feng quickly looked through the contents of the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations in his mind and formed a bit of understanding on how they were used.On this basis, he found the Beginner Guide for Pill Making extremely easy to learn. As for the Pill Flame Heart Manual, Zhao Feng also learned a bit. But the reason he couldn¡¯t fully understand it was because this manual needed one to actually practice pill making.


    After the two days, Zhao Feng got a few more books from Yun Yao to increase his knowledge and when he had questions, he would ask Yun Yao.


    At first, Yun Yao was disdainful. But later on, she was shocked. The questions he asked didn¡¯t seem like someone who had just started learning pill making.


    Zhao Feng was like a sponge in the ocean quickly absorbing the water.


    \------


    Time flew by without realizing it and on this day Zhao Feng finally remembered something.


    ¡°S***! Today¡¯s the day I challenge Ji Fengyun!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed as he immediately informed Yun Yao and Old Man Guan of this.


    ¡°Challenging a substitute inner disciple?¡± Yun Yao was surprised as she looked at Yun Mengxiang for confirmation. The latter nodded her head since she knew this was true.


    ¡°Ridiculous! Your talent in cultivation is only so-so, you should put it on pill making instead,¡± Old Man Guan said.


    No one thought Zhao Feng would win since he only had normal talent and he was a new disciple.


    From Old Man Guan¡¯s point of view, Zhao Feng would become his disciple in the future and he didn¡¯t want the latter to lose face.


    ¡°First, I have confidence in this battle. Second, I have learned what you¡¯ve taught me.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t retreat.


    You have confidence?


    Old Man Guan was so angry that his beard almost fell off, but then his eyes twinkled as he smiled, ¡°Did you just say¡­you¡¯ve learned what I¡¯ve taught you?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Zhao Feng said confidently.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Old Man Guan snorted coldly in disbelief. ¡°I¡¯ll ask you a few questions and if you¡¯re able to answer them, no one will stop you from going to this battle.¡±

 116 Pill Making Genius, Part Two

    ¡°Deal.¡± Zhao Feng and Old Man Guan soon came to an agreement.


    On the side, Princess Yn Mengxiang and Yun Yao couldn¡¯t help but sweat for Zhao Feng.


    Vice-Head Gan was one of the best pill masters in the Clan and he had authority on the same level as an Elder. Even inner disciples and Deacons were respectful to him.


    ¡°I obviously won¡¯t go back on my word. Yun Yao and Princess Yun Mengxiang can be the witnesses,¡± Old Man Guan smiled.


    From his point of view, Zhao Feng was a bit too arrogant, and right now, he could stop the latter from fighting a losing battle, while making him understand that there was still stuff to be learned.


    Old Man Guan¡¯s questions were mainly about the Beginners Guide for Pill Making, not the Pill Flame Heart Manual, mostly because the latter was much too hard for a beginner and Old Man Guan didn¡¯t want to purposely trick him.


    In reality, when Old Man Guan gave the two books to Zhao Feng, he only expected the latter to familiarize himself with the books and not understand everything. The fact that Zhao Feng said that he had learned it all made Old Man Guan have his own doubts, since the youth had only taken a few days.


    Hmph! He had seen geniuses, but even then, those people had only managed to learn a small amount in that amount of time.


    ¡°The first question: What is pill making?¡± Old Man Guan started off with the easiest question.


    ¡°Pill making is gathering the essence out of the item and condensing it. The importance of pill making is the ¡®making¡¯, one must have the help of a pill flame¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng not only answered Old Man Guan¡¯s question, he also added a lot more information.


    The first question was extremely simple and no one was surprised that Zhao Feng could answer it, but the second question was much harder.


    ¡°Talk about choosing the resources of pill making,¡± Old Man Guan said calmly.


    ¡°Every plant has their own attributes and elements in the world, so their essences are all different. Therefore, when one tries to combine or merge them, it is extremely complicated¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng answered smoothly and a vast amount of knowledge appeared in his mind.


    ¡°What does one need to be careful about when controlling their pill flame?¡±


    This question was extremely hard for a newbie.


    ¡°Hehe, before one reaches the True Spirit Realm, pill makers actually don¡¯t have their own pill flame. Therefore, they need to find items to help ignite the pill flame. For example, the flames from burning coal could be used create pills, but their tier won¡¯t be high. Items of the fire element create a higher tier when burned¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s response was still casual and he could say up to one thousand words in one breath.


    Inside Old Man¡¯s Guan¡¯s gaze was joy and excitement. Yun Yao was also surprised; she clearly knew that Zhao Feng was only a beginner, but this question was deep. It looked like any question regarding knowledge couldn¡¯t get past Zhao Feng.


    After a certain point in time, Old Man Guan¡¯s questions started to head towards the Pill Flame Heart Manual, instead of the Beginner Guide for Pill Making.


    The Pill Flame Heart Manual was extremely complex and without having the basic knowledge of plants, one¡¯s answers would be far off. But none of his questions tricked Zhao Feng.


    Shock appeared on Yun Yao¡¯s face and Princess Yun Mengxiang became dazed. Some of the questions were even too hard for her, someone who had studied pill making ever since she was small.


    \------


    _Finally..._


    Cold sweat had appeared on Old Man Guan¡¯s head. At this moment, he didn¡¯t know if he should happy or not, but Zhao Feng had proved that he had learned the Beginner Guide for Pill Making and the Pill Flame Heart Manual.


    Having such analytical ability meant that he was a monster.


    ¡°Last question.¡± Old Man Guan took a deep breath and said solemnly, ¡°Since you¡¯ve learned the Beginners Guide to Pill Making and Pill Flame Heart Manual, tell me the original composition that creates the Snow Spiritual Pill. This pill appears in the Beginners Guide for Pill Making and the Pill Flame Heart Manual.¡±


    Original composition?


    Yun Yao took in a cold breath; this question had almost reached the core of pill making.


    Many famous pill makers had their own compositions, which consisted of how plants should be mixed.


    Although the Snow Spiritual Pill was a simple spiritual pill and wasn¡¯t complicated, it was hard for a newbie. A beginner didn¡¯t even know the rules of plant mixing, so how would they be able to find the composition?


    After this question was asked, everyone fell silent.


    Old Man Guan sighed in his heart, was this question way too hard?


    Those that were able to answer this question were all pill masters.


    ¡°Thousand year ice snow lotus contains the essence of snow and ice and it is one of the main components of the Snow Spiritual Pill. The blood and brains of the Sharp Skinned Spiritual Monkey are slightly Yang and it is the second major component. The Three Sprout Emerald Grass is a soothing material, which has the ability to calm one down¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng listed out a total of thirty-four components and their respective elements, and how they were supposed to be mixed. When he finished, Old Man Guan and Yun Yao had their mouths hanging open.


    Princess Yun Mengxiang¡¯s heart trembled; she didn¡¯t want to believe that this youth in front of her had surpassed her in terms of pill making.


    After a while Old Man Guan let out a sigh as he looked deeply at Zhao Feng. ¡°Great! This question has already surpassed what we agreed on.¡±


    He obviously knew that this question had exceeded what they planned before, but his intention was to flame down Zhao Feng¡¯s arrogance. Contrarily, this showed how monstrous Zhao Feng really was.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t know a thing a few days ago, so how did you know how to make the Snow Spiritual Pill?¡± Yun Yao asked curiously. She was suspicious that Zhao Feng had learned pill making before.


    ¡°Haha, it¡¯s all thanks to you. If you hadn¡¯t given me the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations before, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to answer this question,¡± Zhao Feng laughed lightly.


    Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations?


    Old Man Guan paused, then looked towards Yun Yao as if asking ¡®what¡¯s going on?¡¯


    Yun Yao¡¯s heart tightened and she immediately told the story of how she recommended the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations to Zhao Feng.


    With Vice Head Guan¡¯s experience, how could he not see Yun Yao¡¯s intentions?


    ¡°Hmph! So what if you¡¯ve read the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations? There are literally tens of thousands of compositions in there, and you just happened to memorize the composition of the Snow Spiritual Pill?¡± Princess Yun Mengxiang snickered coldly. She was also suspicious that Zhao Feng had studied pill making before.


    ¡°I¡¯ve not only memorized the Snow Spiritual Pill composition, I¡¯ve memorized the entire contents,¡± Zhao Feng replied mockingly.


    The entire book?


    Yun Yao and Princess Yun Mengxiang¡¯s hearts shook.


    ¡°Are you saying¡­that you¡¯ve memorized the entire Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations¡­?¡± Old Man Guan stood up excitedly. With his near one hundred years of experience, he obviously knew geniuses who could memorize everything they saw. For example, Bei Moi was one of them, but in terms of memory, even Bei Moi wasn¡¯t as good as Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t truly memorize everything, it was more ¡®photocopying¡¯ the things he saw into his mind. Even a complex picture or martial art could be photocopied into his memory.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s just memorizing everything I see,¡± Zhao Feng said casually.


    His words caused the others to be shocked; a genius who could memorize everything by only reading it once could save years of study. Furthermore, Zhao Feng had memorized the entire Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations, which took others tens of years to accomplish.


    To prove that this was true, the three each came up and asked a series of questions from the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations. The three asked about odd topics and rare plants, but their questions were answered perfectly by Zhao Feng.


    This was way too damn depressing!


    The three were speechless, especially Princess Yun Mengxiang and Yun Yao. But inside Old Man Guan¡¯s heart, there was more excitement.


    That day at the third test, he saw that Zhao Feng had great understanding and he was precise, which was a must for pill making. But he didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng¡¯s true talent was so much more terrifying.


    ¡°Vice Head Guan, you won¡¯t stop me now, right?¡± Zhao Feng laughed.


    Black lines appeared on Old Man Guan¡¯s brow as he twitched. ¡°Go and hit some steel walls, so you know how high the heavens actually are.¡±


    Old Man Guan had no way to restrain this disciple. He was expecting Zhao Feng to be beaten so that he would go back on the ¡®right track¡¯.


    ¡°Hehehe, I¡¯ll go and watch as well,¡± Yun Mengxiang was excited as well.


    ¡°Go.¡± Yun Yao waved her hands and like that, Zhao Feng and Princess Yun Mengxiang left the Grass-Wood Division and they headed towards the Outer Clan Hall.


    It was at the same Outer Clan Hall where Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®first true battle¡¯ had started.

 117 Start of the Challenge

    Princess Yun Mengxiang and Zhao Feng walked back together. On the way, Princess Yun Mengxiang was laughing and her attitude had changed dramatically.


    Zhao Feng looked at the Princess weirdly.


    Ever since they had entered the Clan, this Princess had made the others feely lowly with her charm, beauty, and identity. She wouldn¡¯t have looked at Zhao Feng more than she would have anyone else, but now it was different.


    The experience just then made Princess Yun Mengxiang realize that the youth in front of her might be a genius that she couldn¡¯t miss. She seemed to see the rise of a future prodigy, becoming the new star of the Pill world.


    Being the Princess of the Cloud Country, her eyes surpassed the other outer disciples. She obviously knew what a good pill master meant to the Clan.


    If a Clan had many talented pill makers and had enough resources, more high-quality pills would be created, which would cause the strength of the Clan to rise.


    If she was able to get this pill making genius in front of her to work for the King, the future was unimaginable.


    The only problem was that Zhao Feng maintained a normal attitude; he didn¡¯t have any good feelings towards the Princess, but he didn¡¯t want to offend her at the same time.The Cloud Country was his home country after all.


    Yun Mengxiang sighed. She knew that her first impression wasn¡¯t good, but she still wouldn¡¯t give up easily, because a good pill maker was very important to the King.


    Soon, the two returned back to the Outer Clan Hall. Many people knew that the newly entered disciple Zhao Feng was challenging Ji Fengyun today, so they all put down their work and came to watch.


    Seeing Zhao Feng and Yun Mengxiang walking together, the nearby disciples, especially the newly entered ones, were all stunned.


    ¡°When did Zhao Feng get together with the Princess?¡± A few of the outer disciples were incredulous.


    Everyone had gotten used to the Princesses¡¯ cold demeanor, and apart from people like Xiao Sun and Liu Yue¡¯er, she didn¡¯t really talk to anyone else.


    Zhao Feng soon arrived at the stage where the battle would be fought. This stage was near where the substitute inner disciples lived. The substitute inner disciples all had their own courtyards, and they received better treatment and resources.


    Once one became a substitute inner disciple, they didn¡¯t need to work like the other outer disciples.


    The stage was made of a special pure black stone, and the durability of it was several times that of steel. Martial Masters would be hard pressed to even damage it.


    Every time a substitute inner disciple was challenged, this place would become extremely crowded. Zhao Feng saw some familiar figures, such as Xiao Sun, Liu Yue¡¯er, Chen Feng¡­and two figures that arrived hurriedly, Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan.


    The challenged, Ji Fengyun, soon arrived. Battles like this were always overlooked by a Deacon or Vice Deacon, and the person overseeing the battle today was Deacon Qiu.


    The new disciples were all familiar with him as Deacon Qiu had led everyone through the exam, but there didn¡¯t seem to be just one person challenging a substitute inner disciple.


    ¡°The first battle, Wang Yang, vs substitute inner disciple Xia Yundong!¡± Deacon Qiu¡¯s stern voice echoed across several miles and the crowd quieted down.


    _Ceng! Ceng!_


    Two figures releasing powerful auras landed on the stage, facing one another.


    One was Xiao Yundong, ranked twentieth, and the other was his challenger, Wang Yang.


    The two had both reached the half-Ascended Realm, and their auras were even stronger than First Guard¡¯s.


    ¡°Battle of half-Ascended Realms!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan both focused on the battle.


    _Shua! Shua!_


    Two figures flew in the air, creating explosions wherever they went.


    The energy from half-Ascended Realms would rip those at the eighth rank of the Consolidated Realm into shreds.


    The martial arts used by the two were all Low Class Mortal skills, equivalent to Holy martial arts.


    Sword Whistling through the Skies!


    The substitute inner disciple, Xia Yundong, stabbed with his sword and the wind ripples became blades that enveloped the opponent. At this moment, the sharp whistling sound resounded in the ears of those watching and those of the eighth and ninth rank of the Consolidated Realm felt sick.


    ¡°Such power can be used at the Consolidated Realm?¡±


    ¡°The difference between the half-Ascended Realm and ninth rank is too great.¡±


    The hearts of the outer disciples trembled as they looked at the substitute inner disciples with respect.


    Of the outer disciples, the top 20 were the elite. Those who challenged substitute inner disciples needed to be at the half-step Ascended Realm to have a chance to win. There were obviously people who won with the peak 9th rank. But in the past 2 years, the top 20 were almost at the half- Ascended Realm.


    There was an obvious difference amongst the two half-Ascended Realms who fought onstage.


    The substitute inner disciple Xia Yundong always held the advantage, and every move he made would force his opponent to retreat. After more than forty moves later, Wang Yang was finally defeated.


    Not many people were focused on this battle since the outcome wasn¡¯t surprising, but after watching it, the new outer disciples finally realized how terrifying the substitute inner disciples were.


    Xiao Sun¡¯s face was pale and when he thought about how he was going to challenge a substitute inner disciple, and cold sweat poured down his face. If he was to face Xia Yundong, he would be defeated in ten moves; he didn¡¯t even have confidence that he could beat Wang Yang.


    ¡°Way too strong, Bei Moi was only that strong before he left.¡± Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan looked at each other and they couldn¡¯t help but worry about Zhao Feng.


    That Xia Yundong was only ranked twentieth, it was hard to imagine how strong Ji Fengyun, who was ranked thirteenth, would be.


    Thinking of all that, Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan¡¯s last bit of hope for Zhao Feng was extinguished.


    The first battle had ended and now it was time for the second battle.


    Not many people were interested in the first battle, because the strength of the two fighters were similar, and they were both old disciples so everyone knew their skills. But the challenger for the second battle was only at the eighth rank of the Consolidated Realm.


    A challenge like this hadn¡¯t been seen in the past ten years. It could be said that instead of everyone coming to watch the fight, they were here to see how the youth would become a laughingstock.


    ¡°The second battle, Zhao Feng challenging substitute inner disciple Ji Fengyun,¡± Deacon Qiu announced.


    As soon as his words finished, the crowd below started laughing and whistling.


    ¡°Quiet!¡± Deacon Qiu gave a cold hmph and a pressure bore down upon the outer disciples like an avalanche.


    The Ascended Realm was like a mountain that made the outer disciples below feel as if they were ants. The crowd immediately fell silent.


    The bunch of new outer disciples finally understood how strong those of the Ascended Realm were.


    Under the many eyes of the crowd, the two figures appeared on stage.


    Ji Fengyun was ranked thirteenth and his fame was far greater than Xiao Yundong¡¯s. The difference between every rank of the substitute inner disciples wasn¡¯t great, but there were seven places between thirteen and twenty! This gap wasn¡¯t to be ignored!


    Seeing Xiao Yundong¡¯s strength, even Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan lost hope for Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Brat surnamed Zhao, I admire your courage in challenging me,¡± Ji Fengyun stood on the stage with a carefree attitude, but no one thought he was arrogant!


    A half-Ascended Realm could easily crush a cultivator at the eighth rank of the Consolidated Realm with one hand and Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation hadn¡¯t even reached the peak of the eighth rank yet.


    ¡°Brother Zhao¡­¡± Yang Qingshan¡¯s hands were clenched together due to feeling guilty and helpless.


    It was because of him that Zhao Feng challenged Ji Fengyun. And at this moment, seeing Zhao Feng under all the mocking gazes, he felt pain.


    Nan Gongfan also had his head lowered. Although he might not be on good terms with Zhao Feng, the enmity between them had dissipated right now.


    Below the stage, Xiao Sun and co. had both mockery and sympathy in their eyes. Even Liu Yue¡¯er, who disliked Zhao Feng, had unwillingness and sympathy in her eyes.


    _Maybe this is the only way that he will walk onto the ¡®right path¡¯ and focus only on pill making_ , Yun Mengxiang thought quietly.


    \------


    On the stage...


    ¡°This will be quite troublesome¡­¡± Zhao Feng faced the strongest opponent that he had fought so far. At this moment, he felt his inner strength and blood circulating better under the pressure.


    ¡°Kid, how about I only use one hand and if you can win, then-¡± Ji Fengyun stood there confidently with a playful smile.


    Flowing Wind Stance! Smoking Transparent Step!


    In an instant, Zhao Feng had disappeared from Ji Fengyun¡¯s view.


    The latter¡¯s voice suddenly stopped as he felt a piercing sound coming from behind him. The crowd broke out into discussion; most of them hadn¡¯t even seen Zhao Feng¡¯s figure.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Smoking Transparent Step had reached its peak, and after merging with the Flowing Wind Stance, it had reached an entirely new level.

 118 Establish Dominance, Part One

    The hearts of those watching below jumped.


    No one would have thought that a youth only at the 8th rank of the Consolidated Realm would have such speed and skillful movements.


    Smoking Transparent Step was a half Mortal skill, but Zhao Feng had trained it to the peak level. It was rare even in the Clan for someone to train a half Mortal skill to the peak level.


    Furthermore, it had been merged with Flowing Wind Stance, which upgraded its tier by at least half a rank.


    Even Ji Fengyun had been scared by Zhao Feng.


    Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s fingertip spat out a stream of light, which enveloped Ji Fengyun.


    ¡°Windmill Destruction!¡±


    Ji Fengyun exclaimed as a faint blue light spun around in his body like a windmill, then it appeared outside and formed a tornado around his body.


    Boom!


    A deep thud sounded as a wave of dust surged into the air. The spectators below held their breaths as they focused on the stage.


    Under the dust, a figure was as still as Mount Tai as if it was unmovable.


    Ya----


    The figure of a youth was pushed tens of feet in the air before he spun in a circle and landed on the ground.


    ¡°What terrifying inner strength!¡±


    Surprise flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes as he landed on the ground. Although he didn¡¯t use his full strength just then, Ji Fengyun¡¯s performance was still outside of his expectations.


    The inner strength of a half-step Ascended Realm was much stronger than a 9th rank¡¯s, there was a larger quantity inner strength and it had been condensed.


    Zhao Feng was only at the 8th rank of the Consolidated Realm. If it wasn¡¯t because his Silver Wall Technique had reached the peak 8th level and that his body was tough, the move just then would have injured him.


    On the stage.


    Ji Fengyun stood on the same spot as he snickered coldly: ¡°Brat surnamed Zhao, you¡¯re stronger than what I thought by a bit. But if this is all your strength, then you don¡¯t even have the right to pick my shoes!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing fastened as his eyes squinted¡­


    Hu~


    The outer disciples below let out a breath, but shock still remained on their faces. The exchange just then was way too fast.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations and it had reached the half-step Ascended Realm.


    Expressions of surprise appeared on Xiao Sun¡¯s and Yun Mengxiang¡¯s faces. Maybe, just maybe, Zhao Feng did have a few tricks up his sleeve which gave him the confidence to win.


    As the crowd let out a breath, the situation once again changed.


    Chaotic Wind Figure! Windmill Cloud!


    A strong, destructive inner strength surged out and formed a windmill, then it charged at Zhao Feng like a dragon.


    At that moment, almost no one saw where Ji Fengyun was. He had merged the Mortal skill Chaotic Wind Figure into his Windmill Change. The two Low Class Mortal skills complemented each other and the power and speed reached the pinnacle of the Consolidated Realm.


    ¡°The perfect merging between attack and speed, looks like Ji Fengyun does have the right to be arrogant!¡± The outer disciples below exclaimed.


    Under that disastrous move, Zhao Feng felt like he was a leaf in the wind being blown around.


    Silver Wall Standstill!


    A figure glowing silver like a wall stuck into the ground. The first offense wasn¡¯t able to break through Zhao Feng, the latter¡¯s defense and strength was far stronger than expected.


    Silver Wall Technique was already one of the best Low Class Mortal skills and Zhao Feng¡¯s Returning Breath Technique made his inner strength more dense than those of the same ranks and it had the ability to dissolve the inner strength of others.


    Obviously, the difference in cultivation couldn¡¯t be ignored.


    If all Zhao Feng did was defend, he would eventually be overrun by Ji Fengyun.


    Windmill Cloud!


    Ji Fengyun¡¯s move started to push Zhao Feng back.


    Silver Air Barrier!


    A faint transparent silver glow appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s body and he sent out a deep strong aura.


    A loud ¡®bang¡¯ was heard as the silver barrier rippled and became unstable, but it still managed to block Ji Fengyun¡¯s Windmill Cloud.


    Ji Fengyun had attacked first but he didn¡¯t put Zhao Feng down as expected.


    Flowing Wind Stance! Tornado Stance! One Line Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng immediately retaliated and he used both the Flowing Wind Stance and the Tornado Stance at once.


    He used Flowing Wind Stance because it would increase the speed of his attack and keep up with Ji Fengyun¡¯s speed.


    The Tornado Stance had been 70-80% understood, 20% more than last time. But that wasn¡¯t the most terrifying part. It was the One Line Star Finger.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Star Finger had reached the 7th level, which was the highest.


    The finger was like a meteor after merging with the Tornado Stance.


    Boooom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s finger pierced straight through Ji Fengyun¡¯s defensive barrier and it made the latter lose his composure and retreat.


    This was the first time that Zhao Feng had forced Ji Fengyun back.


    ¡°Ji Fengyun was forced back!¡±


    The change shocked the outer disciples.


    While retreating, Ji Fengyun forcefully circulated his inner strength, trying to retaliate. But this made slowed him down and a few flaws appeared.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s sharp left eye saw this and he immediately used his Star Finger.


    At this moment, Star Finger had surpassed its previous fastest speed and damage.


    Star Finger was a peak tier martial art whose strength could be compared with half Low Class Mortal skills and when trained to the 7th level, it could easily defeat those of the 9th rank.


    Although this was what happened in the mortal world and not the Clan¡¯s, this still showed how powerful this skill was. Zhao Feng had also merged his Tornado Stance perfectly into Star Finger, which made it¡¯s damage reach a new level.


    Tornado Stance! Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng kept attacking while he had the advantage and he aimed for Ji Fengyun¡¯s flaws. At the same time, Zhao Feng merged his Tornado Stance into Star Finger, which made his attacks even more fierce.


    ¡°This brat was conserving his strength before¡­ ¡±


    Ji Fengyun was shocked and angry at the same time. Not only was he able to retaliate, he had been suppressed even more.


    He had been pushed back by Zhao Feng before, but he didn¡¯t want to retreat, so he tried to turn the situation around using his cultivation to his advantage. But the result was Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks became even more fierce and caught the minor flaws he made.


    Deng! Deng! Deng¡­


    On the stage, Ji Fengyun¡¯s ragged figure was pushed back continuously.


    This scene made the outer disciples stare in shock.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on!? Ji Fengyun¡¯s being suppressed!¡±


    Their gazes turned to Ji Fengyun, who was retreating.


    Not only were the outer disciples stunned, a flash of surprise even flashed in Deacon Qiu¡¯s eyes. Those new disciples such as Xiao Sun, YUn Mengxiang, Liu Yue¡¯er and co. all turned to stone.


    Obviously, being ranked 13th meant that Ji Fengyun¡¯s killer move wasn¡¯t so simple that he would be pushed by someone of the 8th rank of the Consolidated Realm.


    ¡°Windmill Explosion!¡±


    A powerful inner strength surged out from Ji Fengyun, it spun furiously then condensed and exploded.


    Boooom¡­ !


    A loud explosion sounded as an air wave enveloped everything in a 10-20 metre radius.


    A large hole was left in the pure black stone, which was many times stronger than normal steel .


    The two figures were forcefully separated by the move.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng did a flip in midair and he landed back on the ground puffing.


    Far away, Ji Fengyun¡¯s figure also stood on the ground as his chest heaved slightly, a few holes could be seen on his shirt.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s fighting strength is terrifying!¡±


    ¡°It looks like Ji Fengyun didn¡¯t gain the upper hand.¡±


    The spectators watching broke out into discussion.


    Wait!


    One of the half-step Ascended Realm disciple said deeply: ¡°Even if Zhao Feng¡¯s speed and offense is strong, how could he have not been injured? That¡¯s only possible if¡­ ¡±


    The person speaking was the substitute inner disciple who had been challenged before, ¡®Xia Yundong¡¯.


    Through his warning, many others realised this as well.


    ¡°Unless¡­ Zhao Feng¡¯s body strengthening technique has reached a level where it can counter those of the 9th rank¡­ ¡±


    Wang Yang, who had challenged Xia Yundong, said.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! He mainly focuses on body strengthening and he has reached a level similar to Hou Yuan¡¯s. This gives him the capability to fight against someone of the half-step Ascended Realm and not get injured¡­ ¡± Xia Yundong said with confidence.


    The two half-step Ascended Realm cultivators had discovered one of Zhao Feng¡¯s hidden cards.


    The further one progressed in body strengthening, the harder it would be to make a breakthrough. It was extremely rare for one to train a Mortal body strengthening technique to the level where it could counter against the 9th ranks.


    Of the top 20 outer disciples, there was only 3 who had. And of the 3, Hou Yuan¡¯s body was the strongest. With just his muscles alone, he could dominate 9th ranks and counter peak 9th ranks.


    ¡°It ends here! I only used 70% of my strength just then. Next, you shall face my revenge!¡±


    Cold light flashed in Ji Fengyun¡¯s eyes as he released a powerful aura, which caused the wind to whistle. That aura was extremely close to the Ascended Realm!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became serious. Everyone knew that Ji Fengyun was super serious now.


    ¡°Windmill Water Divisible Palm!¡±


    Condensed blue light appeared from Ji Fengyun¡¯s palm and circulated in a high speed. When that palm was thrust out even the aira started to buzz.


    That palm seemed like it could split the river and flip the cloud.


    ¡°Oh my god! He¡¯s learnt that move! One¡¯s ¡®Windmill Manual¡¯ must be extremely close to the 10th level to control this move!¡± Xiao Yundong¡¯¡¯s expression changed dramatically.

 119 Establish Dominance, Part Two

    Windmill Water Divisible Palm!


    Ji Fengyun was now showing what allowed him to be ranked 13th amongst all the outer disciples. Under that devastating palm, Zhao Feng felt like he was facing a storm.


    One Line Star Finger! Tornado Stance!


    Zhao Feng put all his energy into Star Finger and Tornado Stance. At the same time, he didn¡¯t hold back any strength in his Silver Wall Technique.


    A violent light clashed heavily with the wind.


    Peww!


    The palm and finger met midair and they intertwined together, but the explosion didn¡¯t happen as expected.


    The scene was so calm that it was scary.


    Half a breath later, an eruption happened and it created a channel between the stage.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was sent back tens of paces and his face instantly turned white, but he soon regained colour. The exchange just then had almost made him vomit blood.


    He didn¡¯t expect that a Low Class Mortal skill had such power in the hands of a half-step Ascended Realm.


    Zhao Feng took in a deep breath, even if he could win today, it would undoubtedly be a tough battle.


    Up to now both, Ji Fengyun and him had suffered light injuries. Both Windmill Explosion and Windmill Water Divisible Palm were powerful moves.


    Windmill Water Divisible Palm!


    Ji Fengyun attacked while he held the advantage. This move of his could be used continuosly.


    Partial Wind Stance! Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s style suddenly changed as his attacks became sharper and fiercer.


    Partial Wind Stance was the 3rd stance of the 4 Wind Stances and it¡¯s forte was offense.


    Last time, Zhao Feng¡¯s Star Finger hadn¡¯t reached the 7th level yet and the Partial Wind Stance hadn¡¯t been fully comprehended, but he still managed to defeat Chen Feng.


    Now that both had been learnt fully, it gave him the ability to face a half-step Ascended Realm.


    Tok! Tok! Tok¡­


    Zhao Feng¡¯s sharp attacks were like knifes that clashed with the Windmill Water Divisible Palm.


    Shua!


    After the merging of Partial Wind Stance with Star Finger, the move could counter Ji Fengyun¡¯s Windmill Water Divisible Palm.


    Zhao Feng was shocked and he put in even more strength. Although Windmill Water Divisible Palm took longer to activate, it lasted longer than Star Finger. Adding the fact that Ji Fengyun had higher cultivation, the difference between the two increased.


    Tok! Tok! Tok¡­ !


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks could pierce through the Windmill Water Divisible Palm but it wasn¡¯t able to truly counter it. This move contained Ji Fengyun¡¯s inner strength, who was at the half step- Ascended Realm. One could say that Zhao Feng¡¯s offense was like a bow, it¡¯s peak damage was high. Ji Fengyun¡¯s attack was like a chainsaw, continuous and powerful.


    Zhao Feng kept on using Flowing Wind Stance, Partial Wind Stance and Star Finger to exchange blows with Ji Fengyun, but all he could do was not be defeated.


    On the other side.


    Cold sweat had started to appear on Ji Fengyun¡¯s forehead. Windmill Water Divisible Palm was his killing move and the only one which could block Zhao Feng¡¯s Star Finger.


    It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t have other great offensive skills, it was just that none of them were explosive and they couldn¡¯t block Star Finger.


    Only this Windmill Water Divisible Palm could defend and attack at the same time while giving almost no flaws.


    Watching the stalemate between the two, the outer disciples were all stunned.


    No matter who won, the battle was already outside of their expectations. Zhao Feng¡¯s performance had shocked the other outer disciples.


    Wang Yang and Xia Yundong looked at each other and they saw the disbelief in each others¡¯ eyes. Anyone one of the two facing Zhao Feng alone would lose.


    The merging of Zhao Feng¡¯s Partial Wind Stance and Star Finger could enter the top 10 in terms of offense.


    From the current situation, it seemed like it was a draw. The deciding factor would be how long they could each last.


    ¡°The moves both spend a lot of energy, but Ji Fengyun should win because he¡¯s at the half-step Ascended Realm.¡± Wang Yang analysed.


    Discussion broke out amongst the spectators, but most thought that Ji Fengyun would win.


    ¡°How is this guy¡¯s inner strength so dense?¡±


    On stage, Ji Fengyun was stunned. No other youth at the 8th rank of the Consolidate Realm should be able to continuously use this move.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Returning Breath Technique made his inner strength double the amount that one would usually have. And on top of that, his Silver Wall Technique gave him more power.


    According to the analysis of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, there was 50% chance of winning by dragging this out. From this, one could see how strong Ji Fengyun was.


    If he had challenged someone of the lower rank such as Xia Yundong instead, he would be able to win with ease. But the difference between 20th and 13th was just too great.


    Facing the 50-50 chance, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t willing.


    While fighting his eyes scanned towards Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan. The two were dazed and their hearts were stuck in their throats. Apart from shock and surprise, there was always guilt.


    Being his Brothers, they had underestimated Zhao Feng so much. And looking at Zhao Feng¡¯s current strength, he definitely had the qualifications to challenge a substitute inner disciple.


    ¡°What kind of monster is Zhao Feng¡­ ? How can he have such terrifying battle power?¡±


    Princess Yun Mengxiang took in a cold breath. She had finally realised that Zhao Feng¡¯s talent in fighting wasn¡¯t any weaker than his talent in pill making.


    The two were all bitter onstage. Ji Fengyun screamed in his heart, even if he won, it lost him face. And what if, just what if, they drew? He wouldn¡¯t have face to look at anyone.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye slowly opened and it analysed their respective situations.


    ¡°Sometimes strong offense doesn¡¯t mean victory. Different styles of fighting can also contribute to who wins.¡±


    Zhao Feng seemed to gain some insights.


    At this moment, a thin layer of azure appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s let eye.


    ¡°Let¡¯s end this!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure suddenly lept into the air and changed his move.


    Mysterious Wind Palm! Tornado Stance!


    From Zhao Feng¡¯s palm, a thin azure ball was starting to condense.


    His move seemed slow, but it was in fact extremely fast. It seemed like even the heavens was helping him condense it.


    Shoooo~


    When Zhao Feng thrust out his palm, the nearby wind start to chaotically thrash like his move could destroy everything in it¡¯s path.


    ¡°That move¡­ ¡± Deacon Qiu¡¯s expression changed slightly.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Mysterious Wind Palm came from the girl at the canyon that day and he had already comprehended the skill and merged it with his Tornado Stance.


    Why not merge Partial Wind Stance instead? Zhao Feng decided to merge Tornado Stance because the two skills were similar in style.


    Furthermore, the merging of these two skills made the power of this attack last longer, which perfectly countered Ji Fengyun¡¯s killing move.


    Windmill Water Divisibile Palm!


    Mysterious Wind Palm! Tornado Stance!


    The two similar palm moves clashed heavily together.


    In an instant, the pure black stone beneath their feet were crushed to powder and blew into the air. Under the black smoke, the two palms intertwined.


    At first, Zhao Feng¡¯s Mysterious Wind Palm slightly shook. But as time passed, it became even stronger.


    ¡°What kind of weird move is this¡­ ?¡±


    Ji Fengyun¡¯s expression changed dramatically, he felt like he had fallen into a whirlpool and he couldn¡¯t escape.


    Shooom!


    Ji Fengyun¡¯s heart jumped as he heard his defense inner strength barrier get ripped apart. The next instant, his Windmill Water Divisible Palm was destroyed and pain spread throughout his body starting from his arm.


    ¡°Ahhhhhh!¡±


    Ji Fenhyun screamed as his body was thrown back.


    The crowd turned and they saw that there weres hundreds of bloody marks on Ji Fengyun¡¯s body.


    There was also tens of marks on Ji Fengyun¡¯s face, it looked his face had been disfigured!


    What a terrifying move!


    The other outer disciples drew in cold breaths. Also, this move didn¡¯t serious injure Ji Fengyun, the bloody gashes everywhere made the others turn cold.


    ¡°That move looks like the Clan¡¯s Heavenly Wind God Technique¡­ ¡± Deacon Qiu muttered to himself.


    On the stage, the two faced off.


    Although Ji Fengyun had been lost the previous exchange, he wasn¡¯t seriously injured.


    Mysterious Wind Palm! Tornado Stance!


    Zhao Feng took in a deep breath as an azure glow appeared on his palm again. The sharpness radiating from it caused the spectators to turn cold.


    ¡°I give up!¡±


    Ji Fengyun gave a cold hiccup, the marks on his body throbbed as if they were warning him how strong that move was.


    If Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was a bit stronger, his entire body would¡¯ve been ripped into pieces.


    Gave up!


    The hearts of the crowd shook, but they weren¡¯t surprised at Ji Fengyun¡¯s decision. Just looking at the latter¡¯s face and hundreds of blood marks caused the others to tremble in fear.


    ¡°This battle is won by Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng will become the new substitute inner disciple, replacing the loser¡­ ¡± Deacon Qiu¡¯s stern voice sounded.


    At this time, the outer disciples had finally recovered from their daze.


    Zhao Feng stood on top of the stage and surveyed the crowd below coldly.


    Ah!


    Chen Feng as well as a few other outer disciples¡¯ were so scared that their legs turned into jelly.


    The reason that Zhao Feng challenged Ji Fengyun was to establish his dominance and have a high authority here.


    From the current situation, it seemed that the effect was better than expected. The other outer disciples looked at him with wary and fear.


    The bloody, near disfigured Ji Fengyun was a living example.

 120 Marrow Cleansing Pill

    In a building a few hundred paces away.


    ¡°Dammit! How could a disciple of Lord Guanjun establish his dominance!?¡±


    Quan Chen slammed his hand down on the table, which shook the building and almost made it collapse.


    Next to him sat Hou Yuan, ranked 4th. The two had seen the entire battle. At first, they were going to watch this ¡®show¡¯, but the result was so unexpected!


    A youth who had just entered the Clan had beaten Ji Fengyun, who was ranked 13th and he successfully became the only disciple under the 9th rank to be ranked in the top 20.


    ¡°That kid was stronger than what I imagined, but he won¡¯t even be able to last 10 moves against me.¡± Hou Yuan looked coldly at Zhao Feng.


    Quan Chen wasn¡¯t suspicious of his words. Those ranked 11th - 20th were still ¡®normal¡¯, but after entering the top 10, they weren¡¯t ¡®normal¡¯ anymore. Those high ranked outer disciples had the ability to challenge those of the Ascended Realm.


    For example, Hou Yuan had challenged a cultivator who was at the First Skies of the Ascended Realm.


    Apparently, the monster who was ranked 1st in the outer disciples had beaten a cultivator of the Ascended Realm, even though he was only at the half-step-Ascended Realm.


    Shua!


    A figure suddenly appeared behind the two.


    ¡°Vice Deacon Wang!¡±


    Hou Yuan and Quan Chen both stood up and bowed.


    Those who were Deacons had cultivation were at least at the 4th or 6th Skies of the Ascended Realm.


    Of course, a Deacon such as Lord Guanjun who was in charge of the matters in the mortal world wasn¡¯t strong, one only needed to be at the Ascended Realm to become one.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s pretty unexpected.¡±


    Vice Deacon Wang was slightly surprised as a smile appeared on his face. He hadn¡¯t seen someone who had such battle strength for a long time.


    ¡°Vice Deacon Wang, you should know that he¡¯s a disciple of Lord Guanjun, so why did you give him a task¡­ ¡± Quan Chen¡¯s voice was slightly blameful.


    This Vice Deacon had a good relationship with Hai Yun Master, but as Hai Yun Master started to rise in position, their relationship became slightly further apart.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s only has a Low Tier Spiritual Body, so no matter how strong his battle conscience is, his future will be limited. Could he even threaten you, an inner disciple? Will he be able to threaten an elder? It¡¯s not a good deal to offend two Vice Heads at once! Even your teacher, Hai Yun Master would think this through¡­ ¡± Vice Deacon Wang said strongly.


    ¡°Two Vice Heads? You mean¡­ ?¡± Quan Chen¡¯s voice changed slightly.


    He obviously knew what Vice Deacon Wang said was true. Zhao Feng¡¯s battle conscience might be strong, but his future was limited.


    This was like Lord Guanjun when he was young. He had fought against Hai Yun Master back then, but no matter how strong Lord Guanjun was back then, he was only at the bottom of the clan.


    Vice Deacon Wang didn¡¯t hide anything and he told them how Zhao Feng had been argued over by two Vice Heads.


    ¡°Both Vice Head Guan and Vice Head Zhang¡­ want Zhao Feng????¡± Quan Chen¡¯s jaw hung open and immediately felt helpless.


    Being an inner disciple, he obviously knew how much authority these two Vice Heads held.


    These two were one of the best array master and pill master respectively and they had contributed a lot to the Clan. In terms of power and authority, the two were just below Elders, but when the two of them combined. even Elders had to think it through.


    The most important point was this. Hai Yun Master didn¡¯t tell them to suppress Lord Guanjun¡¯s disciples.


    Being an Elder of the Clan, Hai Yun Master was at the True Spirit Realm and he wouldn¡¯t purposely suppress a few disciples who had not so great talent. As for Quan Chen¡¯s actions, all he did was agree silently.


    Without an Elder¡¯s support, Quan Chen obviously wouldn¡¯t go against two Vice Heads, but this wouldn¡¯t be the end. He might not be able to take care of them straight on, but it was still simple for him to get rid of a few ants through trickery.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­.


    After the battle, Zhao Feng let out a long breath and landed next to his two brothers.


    ¡°Congratulations Brother Zhao Feng! You make me envy by becoming a substitute inner disciple already.¡±


    Princess Yun Mengxiang was the first to come over and congratulate. At the same time, she couldn¡¯t help but inspect the youth in front of her again.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, let us all let out a breath!¡±


    ¡°The battle just then was exciting! Brother Zhao Feng has created a miracle!¡±


    Other newly entered disciples came over to flatter Zhao Feng. The Broken Moon Clan had taken in 22 disciples in total and counting off Sun Yuanhao who had been taken away, there were 21 who became outer disciples and of the 21, Zhao Feng was the first to become a substitute inner disciple.


    Obviously, there were others who were full of resentment.


    ¡°So what if he¡¯s a substitute inner disciple? He hasn¡¯t even reached the 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm yet. It won¡¯t be long before we overtake him. He only has a Low Tier Spiritual Body.¡±


    Xiao Sun, who had the highest cultivation amongst the newly entered disciples, had recovered from the shock. Truthfully, even he had been stunned by Zhao Feng¡¯s performance and he had to admit that Zhao Feng had established his dominance. It was almost certain that not many people would offend him later on.


    ¡°Hmph! He succeeded again!¡± Liu Yue¡¯er snorted coldly, but there was a bit of joy in her heart.


    From the new disciples¡¯ point of view, Zhao Feng had won although he was weaker and he had let out a breath for all of them.


    Only till all the people leave did Zhao Feng greet Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan.


    Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan both looked complexly at this youth in front of them. Apart from guilt, there was also gratitude in their hearts.


    ¡°Since Ji Fengyun lost, it looks like he won¡¯t find trouble for Brother Yang anymore.¡± Zhao Feng smiled at Yang Qingshan.


    After becoming a substitute inner disciple, Zhao Feng moved out from where the normal disciples lived. Of the outer disciples, the substitute inner disciples received the best treatment and they had their own courtyards. On top of that, the resources they received from the Clan also increased as well.


    After organising his stuff, Zhao Feng returned to the Grass-Wood Division. But old man Guan was creating a batch of pills right now and he had told someone to tell Zhao Feng what he wanted to say.


    ¡°Vice Head Guan said he¡¯s giving you a day off.¡± The messenger said.


    Day off?


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. But thinking about i old man Guan probably thought he had lost and he was giving him this time to rest and heal.


    ¡°He also told me to give you a few things.¡± The messenger handed over a few items.


    ¡°Blood Healing Pill¡­ Bone Regenerating Pill?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was weird. From these pills, it could be seen how terribly old man Guan thought he had lost.


    Blood Healing Pill and the Bone Regenerating Pill were both expensive items that weren¡¯t sold in the mortal world.


    The Blood Healing Pill healed internal injuries. As long as one wasn¡¯t seriously injured, they could recover quickly. The Bone Regenerating Pill could connect broken bones together and increase the spend of healing.


    ¡°There¡¯s also a Marrow Cleansing Pill.¡± The messenger took out a pill with envy.


    Marrow Cleansing Pill?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    He had heard of the effect of this pill. Marrow Cleansing Pills could change one¡¯s attributes. Zhao Feng had even heard that this Marrow Cleansing Pill increased the chance of breaking through to the Ascended Realm from the 9th rank by a certain degree.


    After taking this pill, Zhao Feng was slightly excited. Old man Guan had given a pill as precious as this to him. If the disciples at the half-step Ascended Realm ate a Marrow Cleansing Pill, they had a 10-20% more chance of successfully breaking through to the Ascended Realm.


    On the same day, Zhao Feng returned to his own courtyard and he immediately swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill.


    The energy of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was calm and it slowly dissolved into his organs¡­


    The entire process was like boiling water, slow and steady.


    Obviously, this was because his Silver Wall Technique had reached the peak 8th level. This made his body stronger than others, which allowed him to withstand more energy.


    The Marrow Cleansing Pill wasn¡¯t calm to normal people.


    Zhao Feng circulated both Returning Breath Technique and Silver Wall Technique at once to take in the medicine. A warm feeling spread throughout his body. Zhao Feng felt that his attributes were being changed and improved by the Marrow Cleansing Pill.


    He concentrated and felt the throbbing inside his left eye.


    Peng! Peng! Peng¡­ !


    The throbbing from his left eye became more and more obvious and it sent a warm feeling throughout his body and it merged with the energy from the Marrow Cleansing Pill.


    ¡°Looks like the mysterious left eye does have the ability to improve my attributes as well.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s guess was further proven.


    At first, his understanding was normal. But after the merging of his left eye, everything started to change slowly. The once normal body had started to change as well.


    If this eye came from an Ancient God, how would it allow its owner to have a normal body?


    Of course, before it recovered to its peak, it would improve its owner¡¯s talent until its owner was able to rule the world.


    Peng! Peng¡­


    Zhao Feng felt the feeling from his left eye was much stronger than before and the rate the energy of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was being absorbed increased greatly.


    Half an hour later, a layer of smelly, black, sticky fluid appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Inside the dimension of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, the beam of light had reached 8 foot 4.


    Zhao Feng felt his mental energy increase and that his body had gone through a large change. At this moment, only one quarter of the energy from the Marrow Cleansing Pill had been absorbed.

 121 Ninth Level of the Silver Wall Technique

    Because of the change in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, the effect of using the Marrow Cleansing Pill was much better than expected.


    When someone ate a Marrow Cleansing Pill, they would usually give off a layer of the sticky fluid, but Zhao Feng gave off three!


    Zhao Feng was sure that the mysterious left eye had the same effect as the Marrow Cleansing Pill and it could improve his attributes. But it happened over time.


    At this moment, not only did the left eye¡¯s effect merge with the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it had also improved his body further than what the pill alone would have made.


    The first layer excreted was the smelliest and the other two became fainter.


    When the second layer was excreted, Zhao Feng felt that his Silver Wall Technique had reached the limit of the 8th level and was one step away from the 9th.


    Using this chance, Zhao Feng fully circulated Silver Wall Technique and absorbed as much as he could. His Silver Wall Technique finally broke through to the 9th level when the 3rd layer was excreted. Zhao Feng was overjoyed, he had reached the 9th level much faster than expected.


    This was a Clan, the resources it had far surpassed the mortal world. The pill a Vice Head casually gave had made him change entirely.


    The higher one reached in body strengthening, the harder it was to progress. After reaching the 8th level, Silver Wall Technique was much harder to improve compared to other Mortal skills.


    This was also why not many outer disciples focused on body strengthening.


    ¡°The only one of the outer disciples who body can be compared to mine is Hou Yuan.¡± A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips as his confidence rose.


    At the same time, he was very expectant of the last 2 levels of the Silver Wall Technique.


    There was a total of 11 levels in Silver Wall Technique and when one reached the 10th level, it meant that the body alone had reached the Ascended Realm.


    The 11th level: Body of perfection - hard to be destroyed.


    Zhao Feng was at the 9th rank and he could beat those at the 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm with just his body alone.


    From blood to bones to veins to organs, Zhao Feng¡¯s body was far stronger than those of the same rank.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and inside the dimension of his left eye, the azure light had extended to 8 foot 8. The Marrow Cleansing Pillow had made him enter the late stages of the 8th rank of the Consolidated Realm.


    Hu!


    Zhao Feng slowly let out out a long breath and stood up after two hours of sitting.


    The sun outside had already risen.


    Zhao Feng got up and walked towards the Grass-Wood Division. On the way, he went to the workplace of Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan. Yang Qingshan was pouring water, a job much easier than before.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, after you established your strength, these outer disciples became much more contained.¡± Yang Qingshan smiled.


    Although Yang Qingshan still did a lot of work, no one bullied him.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and headed where Nan Gongfan was.


    ¡°He¡¯s here¡­ ¡±


    Chen Feng took a hiccup as he saw Zhao Feng appear. Ever since Zhao Feng had beaten Ji Fengyun and became a substitute inner disciple, Chen Feng became full of fear.


    Zhao Feng purposely walked over and talked a bit with Nan Gongfan.


    ¡°Thanks to Brother Zhao, although my work is hard, no one dares to cause any trouble.¡±


    Nan Gongfan was full of gratitude and patted Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder.


    After seeing his two brothers, Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    Soon, he arrived at the Grass-Wood Division and saw Vice Head Guan.


    ¡°How did it feel yesterday?¡± Old man Guan laughed.


    Zhao Feng paused, then immediately responded: ¡°Thanks to Vice Head Guan, the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was great.¡±


    He was full of gratitude. The price of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was too high, and for those below the Ascended Realm, this pill only appeared in their dreams.


    ¡°What Marrow Cleansing Pill!? I¡¯m asking you how it felt to challenge a substitute inner disciple!¡±


    Old man Guan gave him the white eye. Being one of the best pill masters in the Clan, a Marrow Cleansing Pill wasn¡¯t much for him.


    Ehh?


    Zhao Feng immediately understood that Vice Head Guan didn¡¯t know he had won.


    ¡°The strength of substitute inner disciples was much stronger than expected¡­ if I was slightly careless, I would¡¯ve lost¡­¡± Zhao Feng sighed.


    ¡°Ennnn¡­ That¡¯s right¡­ ¡±


    Old man Guan kept on nodding his head, but his expression suddenly changed after hearing the last part: ¡°Wait! Are you saying that¡­ You didn¡¯t lose!!!?¡±


    ¡°Princess Yun Mengxiang and the other outer disciples can tell you that this is true.¡±


    Zhao Feng gave a faint smile. Although Yun Mengxiang knew the truth, she didn¡¯t dare to pass this news onto old man Guan because the latter wanted Zhao Feng to lose, so that he would focus on pill making.


    As expected, old man Guan didn¡¯t believe this and called Yun Mengxiang over.


    Under the Vice Heads deadly eyes, Yun Mengxiang could only stutter weakly: ¡°Brother Zhao Feng did indeed beat Ji Fengyun¡­ it was a close battle¡­ ¡±


    Close battle?


    Old man Guan¡¯s heart felt a little bit better, but he was still surprised. He knew how much strength each substitute inner disciple possessed, everyone of them was at the half-step Ascended Realm.


    ¡°What rank was the substitute inner disciple placed?¡± Vice Head Guan asked casually.


    ¡°13th.¡± Yun Mengxiang said carefully.


    She was scared of being washed away in old man Guan¡¯s anger.


    ¡°What!? 13th!?¡±


    Old man Guan¡¯s jaw had almost dropped as he looked at Zhao Feng like he was looking at a monster. If Zhao Feng had beat the 20th ranked outer disciple, it could be said that he was lucky, but Zhao Feng¡¯s opponent was 13th!!!


    Knowing the truth, old man Guan was overjoyed yet sad at the same time.


    Old man Guan decided to not mention this again.


    He then gave Zhao Feng a few tasks, this time he gave Zhao Feng a few books for pill making. These books were all foundation pill making knowledge, but they were much deeper than the Beginners Guide for Pill Making. Each and every one of them were as hard to comprehend as the Pill Flame Heart Manual.


    Apart from this, old man Guan also gave Zhao Feng permission to let the latter watch him refine pills. Some pill masters all had their own tricks and apart from their disciples or personal helpers, no one was to watch especially so since old man Guan was one of the best pill masters in the Clan.


    Doing this meant that Zhao Feng had the same treatment as old man Guan¡¯s disciples. To show her respect and good will, Yun Yao also allowed Zhao Feng to see how she refined pills.


    ¡°That¡¯s good, I¡¯ve got a few important pills that I¡¯ve got to refine right now¡­ ¡±


    Vice Head Guan nodded his head and this meant he owned Yun Yao a favour.


    Like this, Zhao Feng walked onto the path of pill making.


    For the next few days, all he did was watch the process. The pills that Yun Yao created were simpler because her skills weren¡¯t as profound as old man Guan¡¯s and she had to teach Princess Yun Mengxiang at the same time.


    This also benefitted Zhao Feng, he got to hang out with Yun Mengxiang everyday and learn a few tips and tricks to pill making.


    Yun Yao would also explain what she was doing sometimes and while they learnt, Yun Mengxiang would ask a lot of questions while Zhao Feng stayed quiet for most of the time.


    Yun Yao was also secretly keeping an eye on Zhao Feng and she realised that the latter was extremely focused when she opened the fire and put in the plants.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t ask a lot of questions, the questions he asked were all important.


    During daytime, Zhao Feng would watch Yun Yao refine pills and he would occasionally watch old man Guan as well. The latter¡¯s technique was a lot more complicated and it was a blur in the spectators eyes¡¯.


    Zhao Feng liked the watch Yun Yao refine pills more because her style was simple and easy to learn - that was for him of course.


    Zhao Feng would learn pill making during daytime and cultivate during night. After hanging out in the pill refining room for so long, he would even get one or two low class Spiritual pills if he was lucky and this was extremely useful for those at the Consolidated Realm.


    4-5 days later, Yun Yao started to test how Yun Mengxiang and Zhao Feng were progressing.


    Yun Mengxiang could answer the majority of the questions, while Zhao Feng could answer them all.


    Yun Yao sighed within her heart and she had to admit that Zhao Feng had higher talent than Yun Mengxiang in terms of pill making. While Yun Mengxiang had started learning pill making a bit longer than Zhao Feng, she wasn¡¯t as proficient as Zhao Feng.


    Of course, this didn¡¯t mean that her talent was bad. Truthfully, Yun Mengxiang¡¯s talent in pill making was the higher than most pill masters Yun Yao had seen and she was extremely hard working.


    ¡°Auntie! Zhao Feng¡¯s can memorise everything he¡¯s seen, so how can I better than him in terms of knowledge? He might not be better than me in terms of pill refining.¡± Yun Mengxiang was still unwilling to admit defeat.


    Hearing this even Yun Yao felt this was logical. Zhao Feng might be able to memorise everything he saw, so Yun Mengxiang wouldn¡¯t be able to beat him in terms of knowledge, even Yun Yao herself might not.


    The second day, inside the pill refining room.


    ¡°Today, I want the two of you to create a batch of pills. I won¡¯t give any directions or help at all.¡± Yun Yao said to the two.


    ¡°The pill you¡¯re going to refine is the ¡®Blood Pill¡¯, it might be rare in the mortal world, but here it¡¯s just a super low tier pill, so you can go ahead and try.¡±


    Hearing that they would be actually refining pills, Zhao Feng was slightly excited.


    The ¡®Blood pills¡¯ was the exact ones the Zhao sect had given out as a reward back then. This pill could increase one¡¯s cultivation, but it had almost no use for those at the 7th rank of the Consolidated Realm or higher.


    In the Clan, these pills were trash, their only uses were to let disciples get familiar at making these pills.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh that the starting points of the two worlds were just too different.


    Inside the pill refining room.


    Yun Yao got out all the resources out and laid them down to see how well these ¡®pills learners¡¯ were.


    ¡°Sister Yun can go first.¡± Zhao Feng waved his hands.


    Yun Mengxiang started to organise the materials and started the fire. The key point in refining pills was ¡®controlling the flame¡¯, the strongness of the flame directly affected the refining of the pill.


    Huuuuu!


    During the process of controlling the flame, the flame suddenly extinguished and the pill furnace slightly trembled.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Yun Mengxiang shouted and she was about to try and save it, but an azure smoke appeared and gave off a weird smell.


    It smells like someone farted¡­


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    Yun Mengxiang face turned red from embarrassment: ¡°What are you laughing at!? If you have the skills, you make a batch!¡±

 122 Refining Pills

    ¡°Mengxiang, don¡¯t be disrespectful! It¡¯s your fault you failed!¡± Yun Yao said sternly.


    As soon as the words left her mouth, Yun Mengxiang realised that her ¡®princess¡¯ problem appeared again. Her Princess identity wasn¡¯t very effective in the Clan and her father and auntie had repeatedly warned her to not offend strong cultivators with her attitude.


    Zhao Feng was a disciple that both old man Guan and old man Zhang were fighting for and it wasn¡¯t a good idea to offend someone with such status and potential. But maybe because she had gotten familiar with Zhao Feng the past few days and the latter was calm, she forgot about this.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, this is the attitude.¡± Zhao Feng laughed and he didn¡¯t put it to heart.


    The main point here was pill refining. Ever since he had entered the Grass-Wood Division, Zhao Feng had started to find interest in pill making and this interest was founded by the lure of ¡®Spiritual pills¡¯.


    Zhao Feng thought that if he became a pill master, he could refine all the pills he needed. This could support his cultivation and save money. Pill makers was a hot job in the Clan.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, did you see the mistake that Yun Mengxiang made before?¡± Yun Yao decided to test Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t scared of giving Yun Mengxiang too big of a blow: ¡°Firstly, she was too cautious like a rat, so her flame was too small and the temperature not high enough. Secondly, there were a few mistakes she made when controlling the flame and because the fire was small, it instantly extinguished. Of course, those was the most obvious mistakes, I¡¯m too lazy to say the other smaller mistakes.¡±


    Hearing this, Yun Mengxiang was so angry that she was trembling, but she couldn¡¯t explode. If it was a normal person, she would have already sent them flying with a kick. Being a princess, when did anyone say anything like this to her before?


    ¡°En, the key points were said.¡± Yun Yao said praisingly as she nodded her head.


    Yun Mengxiang could only suppress her anger. A light flashed in her eyes as she smiled and said: ¡°Mengxiang was too dumb handed, may Pill master Zhao teach me?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not a pill master.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped, it was obvious that Yun Mengxiang praised him so that the fall would be greater.


    Any pill learner was unlikely to succeed on their first try.


    After Yun Mengxiang had failed, it was Zhao Feng¡¯s turn. Inside his mind, the process of Yun Yao creating the blood pill appeared.


    For the past few days, Zhao Feng had a few tries of opening the flame, controlling the flame and adding the materials, but it was all testing.


    It was much harder to put all the steps together and complete it in one breath.


    Controlling the flame was the most important and the slightest mistake could shake the outcome.


    The first step, putting the materials in.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye slowly opened and he took one portion of each material needed. Amongst the same materials, there were good and bad ones which could affect the humidity and other small things like that.


    Zhao Feng chose the most suitable composition and Yun Yao, who had noticed these small acts, nodded her head in praise.


    In just the first step of choosing their materials, Zhao Feng had beat Yun Mengxiang.


    After the materials were chosen, Zhao Feng put them into the furnace in order and put them in specific places.


    The heat of the furnace wasn¡¯t even everywhere, there was places of high and low heat respectively.


    The first step, ¡®adding the materials¡¯ was completed.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t miss out any steps and if his steps were clumsy or hesitant, the process of Yun Yao refining the pills would appear in his mind.


    The second step, starting the flame.


    Starting the flame seemed simple, but there was a process to it.


    This size and temperature of the flame couldn¡¯t have any mistake, but a low class pill such as the blood pill didn¡¯t need an extremely specific flame.


    Zhao Feng lit up a piece of coal and a small red flame appeared.


    Next was the most important step - controlling the flame.


    Zhao Feng concentrated, he opened his left eye and used his inner strength to directly affect the flame. One needed to reach the 7th rank of the Consolidated Realm to become a pill learner because only then was their inner strength able to leave their body and affect the flame. Even then, this was the worst way but if one hadn¡¯t even reached the 7th rank, how were they supposed to do this?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s control of the flame was extremely strong and the small flame was spread out evenly on the furnace.


    As time passed, a faint medicinal smell wafted from the furnace.


    Zhao Feng would occasionally add a few more coals to maintain the flame and although he wasn¡¯t familiar with controlling the flame, it was natural for him.


    This was because his left eye was precise and he could control his inner strength well.


    For a full 2 hours, Zhao Feng still casually controlled the flame. This made Yun Mengxiang¡¯s expression change slightly, she hadn¡¯t expected Zhao Feng¡¯s inner strength to be so dense and thick.


    If it was her, her inner strength would¡¯ve been depleted.


    ¡°Using every bit of power to its precise use. He¡¯s reached mastery at controlling the flame.¡±


    Yao Yun sighed, his skill in controlling the flame could already be compared with some older pill masters.


    At this time, Yun Yao couldn¡¯t help but admire old man Guan¡¯s eyes. Zhao Feng was indeed a prodigy in pill making.


    Pill making asked for precision, especially in flame control.


    Two hours later, Zhao Feng¡¯s inner strength had slowly faded away and the flame extinguished.


    The remaining heat from the furnace still made the furnace give off a medicinal smell.


    Zhao Feng sniffed it and he found that it did indeed belong to the blood pill. Its smell right now was tens of times stronger than before since because it had just been made.


    After waiting for a while, Zhao Feng tapped his finger in the air.


    Pah!


    From the furnace jumped up tens of blood red pills.


    This was the last step, opening the furnace.


    One had to time when to open the furnace. If it was too early, the pill may not have solidified yet and if it was too late, the pill¡¯s size might be too large and crack. Under that situation, the pill might explode and destroy the entire pill refining room¡­


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his robed and grabbed the tens of red blood pills with his hand.


    ¡°Let me see the success rate.¡± Yun Yao said while smiling.


    Success rate?


    Zhao Feng paused, but he soon remembered what this meant.


    When a batch of pill was made, there was always a success rate. For example, of ten pills, there might be only 5 pills successfully created, the others would either be trash pills or ungraded pills.


    Zhao Feng handed over all the pills to Yun Yao.


    ¡°It can¡¯t all be ungraded and useless pills, right?¡± Yun Mengxiang laughed.


    At this time, she saw that her auntie¡¯s face was solemn and full of shock.


    ¡°Thirteen blood pills, 1 perfect pill, 4 excellent, 6 normal and 2 others which are slightly below the standard of normal but still in the normal category.¡±


    Yun Yao couldn¡¯t help but take in a cold breath: ¡°If the requirements aren¡¯t strict, this is a 100% success rate.¡±


    100%!


    Yun Mengxiang¡¯s face had turned pale fright like she had been frightened. Then, she and Yun Yao looked at Zhao Feng with complex emotions.


    ¡°This is your first time refining pills?¡±


    The shock and questioning hadn¡¯t disappeared from Yun Yao¡¯s face.


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was slightly weak, he hadn¡¯t expected his precision and control to be so good.


    After his confirmation, Yun Yao and Yun Mengxiang seemed like they had been beaten and their souls lost.


    ¡°These 13 pills were created by you, so you have have them.¡±


    Yun Yao returned the pills that Zhao Feng refined back to him.


    Then¡­ There wasn¡¯t a then.


    Zhao Feng was kicked out for no reason, leaving behind only Yun Yao and Yun Mengxiang.


    ¡°Auntie, why aren¡¯t you teaching him anymore?¡±


    ¡°How can I teach a prodigy such as him? It¡¯s a miracle! How can someone have a 100% success rate when refining their first batch of pills?¡± Yun Yao sighed in despair.


    How is this possible!?


    Yun Mengxiang was speechless.


    ¡°Keep this a secret for now. All you¡¯ve got to do now is not to offend him and maintain a good relationship with him¡­ ¡± Yun Yao said.


    ¡­..


    After leaving the refining room, Zhao Feng went into deep thought.


    ¡°That¡¯s how it is¡­ No matter how excellent the pill maker is, it¡¯s hard for them to have a 100% success rate even if they are a pill master, unless they create pills far below their usual standard¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng finally realised that his 100% success rate was shocking. Because it was his first time refining pills, he didn¡¯t have a standard and he still made a 100% success rate.


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng was much more relaxed and free, the tasks that old man Guan had given him were completed.


    During daytime, he would occasionally read a few books and at night, he would cultivate. His main focus was still Silver Wall Technique. But after reaching the 9th level, his progress slowed down.


    It would be at least a few years before his Silver Wall Technique reached the 10th level, according to his analysis. Zhao Feng could only wait and hope that Vice Head Guan would give him a few more Spiritual pills. If he didn¡¯t, he could create them himself later on¡­


    Time passed quickly and Zhao Feng had stayed in the Clan for half a month now.


    Of the newly entered disciples, Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxian and Liu Yue¡¯er had the most major improvements. Xiao Sun had apparently reached the half step - Ascended Realm while Yun Mengxiang and Liu Yue¡¯er had reached the peak 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm.


    Such speed was a miracle in the mortal world. But in the Clan, it was fast but not shocking. The nine ranks of the Consolidate Realm was only a beginning after all.


    Zhao Feng knew that Yun Mengxiang had a pill master auntie, so she had eaten at least 5 or more of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but Liu Yue¡¯er couldn¡¯t be found amongst the outer disciples.


    Some said that she had been taken in by another Elder and became the 3rd person to become a disciple of an Elder after Bei Moi and Sun Yuanhao.


    The two Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan had reached the half-step 9th rank and 9th rank respectively.


    Compared with the others, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation speed wasn¡¯t fast. Although he focused mainly on Silver Wall Technique his cultivation had still broken through to the 9th rank.

 123 Exchange Hall

    In half a month''s time, Zhao Feng had reached the 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm and that was him not focusing on cultivation. If he did so, he would be at least at the peak 9th rank.


    His main focus was reaching the 10th level of the Silver Wall Technique and not cultivation, but in the past few days, he would occasionally receive some pills from the Grass-Wood Division, so it was hard not to progress.


    ¡°Competition is fierce in the Clan. Even the lowest and weakest outer disciple are a geniuses back in their homeland.¡±


    Zhao Feng could feel the intense competition. If the outer disciples were already like this, than it would be hard to imagine what kind of situation it was with inner disciples.


    Up to now, only Bei Moi, Sun Yuanhao and Liu Yue¡¯er had become inner disciples and Zhao Feng knew the earlier one became an inner disciple, the bigger advantage they had.


    They would get better skills as well as more resources. But even though Zhao Feng knew this, he didn¡¯t give up on body strengthening. The body was the foundation of everything and one must have a solid foundation at the Consolidated Realm, so that the future path will be easier.


    To reach the Ascended Realm with his body, that was his goal!


    Zhao Feng calculated the time and he realised that it was nearing the end of the ten days. According to the deal made earlier, he had to stay at old man Guan¡¯s and old man Zhang¡¯s place for tens days each.


    In the ten days at the Grass-Wood Division, Zhao Feng had already entered the path of pill making and whenever old man Guan mentioned him, his mouth couldn¡¯t close.


    On the last day, Vice Head Guan met up with Zhao Feng alone.


    ¡°Your talent in pill making is frightening. It could already be seen in the future that you¡¯ll be a miracle in the world of refining pills.¡±


    Old man Guan looked complexly at Zhao Feng as if he was expectant of the latter.


    Before Zhao Feng left, Old Man Guan gave him a Holy Pill Bible.


    ¡°This book contains many top class pill master¡¯s, including mine, tricks and steps to refining pills. It also has a vast amount of knowledge in it.¡±


    After Vice Head Guan handed the Holy Pill Bible over to Zhao Feng, he let out a long breath as if an important matter had been completed.


    Holding the Bible in his hand, Zhao Feng felt it¡¯s heaviness. Apart from the Holy Pill Bible, old man Guan also gave Zhao Feng 10 substandard primal crystal stones and an old furnace.


    The furnace had been used by old man Guan a long, long time ago and it was a token of memory. It had now been passed onto Zhao Feng.


    After leaving the Grass-Wood Division, Zhao Feng had a weird feeling.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t old man Guan mention anything about taking me as a disciple? Could it be that he wants to settle it first with old man Zhang?¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely curious, but he soon put it in the back of his mind.


    Returning back to his courtyard, Zhao Feng organised the resources he had at hand.


    He was extremely rich right now. Apart from the furnace that old man Guan had just given him, he also had a few pills and 10 substandard primal crystal stones.


    Primal crystal stones were the common currency, the silver from the mortal world was worthless.


    Zhao Feng had heard rumours saying that 1 million pieces of silver could be exchanged for 1 substandard primal crystal stone.


    To see the use of Primal crystal stones, Zhao Feng decided to go to the Exchange Hall of the Broken Moon Clan. The Exchange Hall was limited to disciples in the Clan only and it was not open to public.


    The moment Zhao Feng stepped into Exchange Hall, he felt uneasy. The figures entering and exiting the hall were all at the Ascended Realm, there were even Deacons and Vice Heads present.


    The aura released from anyone of the Ascended Realm made Zhao Feng feel unable to breathe. It was this scene that made Zhao Feng clearly realise that he was only at the bottom of the Clan, as small as an ant.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.


    There was many stalls in the Exchange Hall and every stall all had their own owner and on the tables were skills, weapons, pills and other stuff that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t recognise.


    Zhao Feng looked around and he found that half-Mortal skills were sold for 1 substandard primal crystal stone, but there weren¡¯t many of these skills. Even if there were they were rare or special.


    There was a larger number of Mortal skills being sold and Low Class Mortal Skills went for 10-20 stones, while Middle Class Mortal Skills went for at least a few hundred substandard primal crystal stones, hundreds of times more expensive than Low Class skills.


    Zhao Feng shook his helplessly and he found that his Marrow Cleansing Pill was worth only 5 substandard primal crystal stones.


    Spiritual pills were expensive in the Exchange Hall because cultivation was the main factor in the Clan, therefore Spiritual pills that helped increased cultivation were fought over fiercely.


    An outer disciple like Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t paid attention to in the Exchange Hall. Even if he walked over to a stall, the owner wouldn¡¯t bother to talk to him.


    ¡°No wonder pill makers have a high position in the Clan.¡± He thought in his heart.


    Slowly and steadily, a thought appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind on how he could earn big money.


    With his talent in refining pills, all he needed to do was create a batch of good pills and he would be able to make a few primal crystal stones.


    His limit right now was the 10 substandard primal crystal stones that he had in his hand. Zhao Feng walked around for a long time before using 1 substandard primal crystal stone to buy a large quantity of ¡®Black Cloud Coal¡¯.


    Black Cloud Coal was the worst coal that could light up a pill flame and it could only be used to create low tier pills.


    Normal pills were different from spiritual pills, the latter could help those at the Ascended Realm but because Zhao Feng had a limited number of primal crystal stones he could only buy Black Cloud Coal.


    He then started to buy the other materials needed to refine pills and he spent the last 9 substandard primal crystal pills on resources.


    ¡°The most suitable pills I can create right now are the Marrow Cleansing Pill and Broken Moon Breath Returning Pill, both which are both almost Spiritual pills but not quite.¡±


    The resources Zhao Feng picked all had their respective uses.


    Marrow Cleansing Pill: This didn¡¯t need to be said. Zhao Feng had used it before and if it couldn¡¯t be sold, he could use it himself.


    Broken Moon Breath Returning Pill: A special pill created by pill masters of the Broken Moon Clan and it had the effect of increasing the rate of regenerating energy. It was suitable for those between the half-step Ascended Realm and the 3rd Skies of the Ascended Realm.


    These two pills were not quite at the Spiritual pill level, but they surpassed the best pills in the mortal world by far.


    There was two reasons why Zhao Feng chose these two: Firstly, it wasn¡¯t hard to create these pills and the resources weren¡¯t expensive. Secondly, the two pills were the limit that Zhao Feng could create because of his limited cultivation.


    Normal Spiritual pills had specific requirements for the flame and most of them needed the pill maker to be at the Ascended Realm.


    After spending all his substandard primal crystal stones, the resources that Zhao Feng needed to create pills had been mostly gathered. The ones he didn¡¯t have could be taken from the Grass-Wood Division or from Princess Yun Mengxiang.


    Zhao Feng then walked unwillingly out of the Exchange Hall. There were just too many skills, resources and pills in the Hall that he wanted.


    After walking out of the Hall, the heavy feeling aura instantly faded.


    ¡°Brother Zhao!¡±


    A familiar voice sounded from the crowd of people and the voice made Zhao Feng freeze.


    A youth wearing a black striped shirt came out from the crowd and he looked surprisingly at him. Black striped shirts symbolised inner disciples while outer disciples wore green robes.


    ¡°Brother Bei.¡±


    Zhao Feng soon regained his composure and he opened his left eye to inspect the youth.


    Bei Moi.


    The once-disciple of Lord Guanjun whom the latter had placed all his hopes on.


    Through his left eye Zhao Feng found that Bei Moi¡¯s cultivation was close to Lord Guanjun¡¯s. Lord Guanjun was at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm. This meant that Bei Moi was at least at the peak of the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm or at the half-step 2nd Sky.


    It was hard to imagine how Bei Moi¡¯s cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds in one month, but thinking about how Bei Moi¡¯s talent was close to the Earth and Sky Spiritual Body and the resources he would have received from the Elder, everything wasn¡¯t that surprising.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, we finally meet again in the Clan but the difference between us still remains the same.¡±


    Bei Moi was expressionless as usual.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t back down: ¡°it doesn¡¯t matter what the difference is. What matters is the final height we can reach.¡±


    Bei Moi paused slightly as if he was trying to comprehend what Zhao Feng was saying. He then made a mocking laugh, maybe it was too funny to talk about the future with a half - Spiritual body.


    ¡°Since you¡¯ve already arrived at the Clan, our deal will still carry on.¡± Bei Moi said, then he shook his head and went to the Exchange Hall.


    ¡°That day won¡¯t be far away.¡± Zhao Feng left as well and returned to the Outer Hall Division.


    Meeting with Bei Moi was just a small problem, but this gave Zhao Feng another goal.


    After arriving at the Outer Hall Division, Zhao Feng then went to the Grass-Wood Division to borrow a few other materials he needed. At last, all the things needed for the Marrow Cleansing Pill and Broken Moon Breath Returning Pill were collected.


    ¡°You¡¯re going to start refining pills?¡±


    Yun Mengxiang was slightly surprised, but she soon realised what she said was useless. Zhao Feng already had the ability to create pills by himself a few days ago.


    Back at his courtyard, Zhao Feng closed the door and put the materials in order. He couldn¡¯t help but take in a deep breath. The next moment was a critical point, if it succeeded, he would increase by leaps and bounds, but if he failed¡­ He needed at least another 10 days to get 10 substandard primal crystal stones.


    The first step, putting the materials in.


    Zhao Feng opened his eye to the max and he entered enhanced vision mode. When he had made pills before, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare open his left eye to the max.


    This also meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s precision was increased even more, because he didn¡¯t allow himself to make any mistakes.


    The putting materials in step soon succeeded.


    Next was the second step, lighting the fire.


    He had done this step many times and it was perfect again.


    After this was controlling the flame, the most important and hardest step which would directly affect whether or not the pill would be created or not.


    He had never refined the Marrow Cleansing Pill or the Broken Moon Breath Returning Pill before, all the knowledge he knew about it was in his mind.


    Hu~~~


    The flame lit up and slowly began to expand. The furnace then gave off a low hum and under the light of the furnace, the picture of an Ancient Beast appeared¡­

 124 Max Level

    Lighting the flame had succeeded!


    Entering the controlling the flame stage¡­


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was extremely nervous and excited. But due to his left eye, he calmed down quickly.


    The left eye gave him precision, accuracy and control. Therefore, under the complex controlling the flame, Zhao Feng almost couldn¡¯t make a mistake unless he had interpreted something wrong.


    Time slowly passed by.


    One hour, two hours, three hours¡­


    This wasn¡¯t the first time Zhao Feng refined pills, but it was the longest. The pills he had created before at the Grass-Wood Division were all low class and they were only useful in the mortal world but useless here. The Marrow Cleansing Pill he was refining now was almost a Spiritual Pill and the most complex one he had refined so far.


    3 - 4 hours later, the stage of controlling the flame was coming to an end.


    Beads of sweat appeared Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead, the time he needed to create this batch was a lot more than the others. One had to know that he could only manage around 4 hours or so.


    Only till 5 hours later was the stage complete.


    Zhao Feng fell down on the ground powerlessly and gathered all his remaining inner strength to gently tap the air.


    Pah!


    The furnace opened and out jumped 4-5 pills the size of nails.


    Zhao Feng reached out and grabbed the 5 Marrow Cleansing Pills. The quantity of pills made in each batch depended on how much material was put in. The amount of material Zhao Feng put in could only create 5 pills.


    The most important factor right now was the success rate.


    ¡°One excellent, one normal, one useless and 2 substandard pills.¡±


    Zhao Feng scanned the pills and immediately came up with the success rate.


    40% success rate.


    Truthfully, this result disappointed him. One had to know that when he had tried before, he had always reached 80% or above with the majority at 100%.


    Zhao Feng obviously knew that the success rate depended on the refiners skills as well as what class the pill was.


    If someone like old man Guan did it, his success rate would be at 100% because the level of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was way too low for him. At the same time, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was too hard for Zhao Feng, who was only at the 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm.


    Normally, one would need to be at the half-step Ascended Realm to create a half-Spiritual Pill. But because Zhao Feng had denser inner strength due to Returning Breath Technique and saved energy due to his precision, he was able to break this ¡®normality¡¯.


    This alone would make the other pill makers sigh in the Grass-Wood Division.


    ¡°Two Marrow Cleansing Pills are worth 10 substandard primal crystal stones!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Although his success rate wasn¡¯t high, he had still gained a massive profit because the materials used cost only 4 substandard primal crystal stones and the rest of the materials would be used to create the Broken Moon Breath Returning Pill.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t immediately start again because he thought his success rate was too low and he wasn¡¯t skilled nor experienced enough.


    On the same day, he took out the Holy Pill Bible and without another words, he imprinted its contents into his mind, then started to comprehend it¡­


    In the process, Zhao Feng paid extra attention to the key points, tricks and tips. After looking at it once, Zhao Feng immediately felt more knowledgeable.


    He couldn¡¯t but sigh, if he had read this first, there would¡¯ve been a higher success rate.


    Only till late night did Zhao Feng put away the Holy Pill Bible.


    From tomorrow onwards, he would go the Clan Mission Division and learn arrays with old man Zhang. But before this, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and the Illusion Fish Picture from the 3rd exam that had been forgotten for so long appeared again.


    Before this, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t gain much insights from the Illusion Fish Picture.


    This was because he was focusing on the 4 Wind Stances and although the Illusion Fish Picture seemed profound, it seemed to be connected with arrays and not martial arts.


    Zhao Feng realised that the Illusion Fish Picture was not as simple as he thought and like he thought, this picture had something to do with arrays.


    He found that the changes in the picture seemed like it contained a sort of law from the heavens.


    The colours of the fishes, waves of the ocean, light from the sun changed¡­


    The changes in scenery gave others a feeling that everything was fake and that the person was tricked every time.


    Zhao Feng was able to count the number and color of fished due to his left eye. His left eye seemed to be born with the power of ¡®seeing through¡¯ illusions and under its precision, Zhao Feng was able to reach the 7th scene. But counting the pictures didn¡¯t mean that he had understood why it changed, it only meant he was able to not be tricked.


    ¡°Change, fake, real, illusion¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng seemed to gain something from the Illusion Fish Picture and he fully comprehended the first two pictures that night.


    He realised that the enlightenment from the Illusion Fish Picture could be used in martial arts and it would cause his actions to be full of change, which would make the opponent feel as if his moves were all ¡®illusions¡¯.


    ¡°Terrifying!¡±


    Zhao Feng tried it out and felt his Star Finger and Smoking Transparent Step seemed to have life and not the same stubborn moves.


    His Star Finger and Smoking Transparent Step both were full of agility and they had exceeded the peak level and reached the max level.


    Max level meant that the skill had started to exceed the original structure on how the skill was planned to be and became a ¡®new skill¡¯.


    ¡­¡­.


    Zhao Feng got up the second morning and reported to the Clan Mission Division.


    The Clan Mission Division was a complex place which was in charge of the arrays and a few other things.


    At the Clan Mission Division, Zhao Feng saw a familiar person, Xiao Sun, who was from the biggest family in seclusion of the Cloud Country.


    When Xiao Sun had entered the Clan, he was already at the 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm and half a month later, he was now at the half-step Ascended Realm.


    Zhao Feng understood that Xiao Sun came from the country¡¯s biggest family in seclusion, which had a bit of relationship with the Clan and his talent was also great.


    ¡°Brother Zhao seems to be living a good life, being with Princess Yun Mengxiang and Vice Head Guan. You make me jealous!¡±


    Xiao Sun took the initiative to speak, but his tone was sour.


    Zhao Feng caught the envy and unwillingness in his eyes. When they had just entered the Clan, Xiao Sun was pretty close with Yun Mengxiang.


    They were a good pair. One came from the country¡¯s biggest family in seclusion while the other was the country¡¯s Princess. But as time passed, Zhao Feng established his strength and became a substitute inner disciple and old man Guan seemed to place him of great importance.


    Apart from that, Yun Mengxiang started to approach him and the closeness of the two surpassed the relationship of Yun Mengxiang and Xiao Sun.


    ¡°No matter how well I live here, it won¡¯t be as good as Brother Xiao Sun, whom I suspect will become an inner disciple soon.¡± Zhao Feng said humbly and the second part of his sentence was more of a question.


    His words hit Xiao Sun¡¯s weak spot and the latter couldn¡¯t help but be smug.


    ¡°Haha, thanks for your good intentions. But before I become an inner disciple, I also want to meet the substitute inner disciples. Being 13th Brother Zhao, I really want to exchange moves with you.¡± Xiao Sun laughed lightly and left.


    Challenge me?


    Zhao Feng shook his head and he didn¡¯t put this to heart, even though he knew Xiao Sun had successfully become a substitute inner disciple a few days ago and was ranked 16th.


    After reaching the 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm and the 9th level of Silver Wall Technique, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had doubled and with the help of the Illusion Fish Picture, Zhao Feng was on an entire level compared to tens of days ago.


    ¡­¡­..


    After entering the important grounds of the Clan Mission Division, Zhao Feng once again saw met old man Zhang.


    ¡°Youngster Zhao Feng greets Vice Head.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to be respectful.


    Both old man Guan and old man Zhang had authority way higher than him.


    Vice Head Zhang was clothed in white as he smiled towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°There¡¯s a few books here. ¡®Beginner Array¡¯, ¡®The 49 Arrays for Beginners¡¯, ¡®12 Ways of Constructing Arrays¡¯... ¡±


    Old man Zhang waved his hands and 7-8 books appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    When the latter received these books, old man Zhang smiled: ¡°You can memorise them right now.¡±


    Zhao Feng paused, right now?


    But this couldn¡¯t trick him, in just the time it took for tea to boil, he had memorised the contents of these books.


    ¡°Memorising whatever you see, no wonder!¡±


    Old man Zhang wasn¡¯t surprised.


    How did he know I can memorise everything I see? Could it be that old man Guan told him?


    Under Zhao Feng¡¯s curious eyes, old man Zhang laughed: ¡°I already found out that you could memorise everything you see when we met the first time. The changes of the Illusion Fish Picture are extremely complicated and when the fishes of different colours moved, one must have great memory or else they wouldn¡¯t be able to say the correct answer.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh in admiration.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing strange about that, you¡¯re not the only one who can memorise everything you see.¡± Vice Head Zhang said.


    ¡°Could it be that you¡¯re also¡­ ?¡±


    Zhao Feng paused slightly and he was extremely surprised.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I was born with this talent. When reading, I only need the look over the contents twice or thrice to memorise it all. But compared to your talent, it¡¯s too far off.¡±


    Old man Zhang was smug at first, but he started to shake his head bitterly later on.


    There were many geniuses who could memorise everything they saw, but none of them could be compared to Zhao Feng.


    On the same day, Vice Head Zhang only told Zhao Feng the basic theory and direction of arrays.


    Zhao Feng thought that arrays were even more complex than pill refining.


    Before he left, old man Zhang gave a smile: ¡°If you¡¯re able to comprehend all the 7 books I just gave you, I¡¯ll let you use the Energy Gathering Array in the Thousand Leaf Pond. It has great effects for body strengthening¡­ ¡±

 125 Crazy Challenge

    Thousand Leaf Pond?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart immediately sped up when he heard this.


    He had entered the Clan for a while now and he knew a bit of information about the mysterious places such as the Floating Crest Palace, Thousand Leaf Pond and Hollow Building.


    The Floating Crest Palace was the foundation of the Clan and it was an extremely mysterious place. Even Elders and the Sect Master might not know the secrets.


    As for the Thousand Leaf Pond, it couldn¡¯t be compared to the Hollow Building and Floating Crest Palace, but it was still a cool place. The area was created by nature and later on, experts from the Clan came and set up a Energy Gathering Array which had now lasted for a thousand years, and this gave the pond water some special effects.


    If Zhao Feng was able to enter the Thousand Leaf Pond, it would be great for his Silver Wall Technique.


    ¡°Vice Head Zhang, I heard that only inner disciples are allowed to enter the Thousand Leaf Pond¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Hahaha, the Thousand Leaf Pond is an important place in the clan. Even inner disciples can¡¯t use it as they wish, but being the Vice Head of the Clan Mission Division, I¡¯m also in charge of this area. If you have great talent in the arrays, for example, comprehending all the books that I¡¯ve just given you in 7 days, this can be an excuse to let you enter the Thousand Leaf Pond.¡± Old man Zhang explained while smiling.


    Zhao Feng immediately understood. According to the rules, an outer disciple like him wouldn¡¯t be allowed to enter the Thousand Leaf Pond, only a low number of people had this special treatment. But old man Zhang was a Vice Head and he controlled this area, so he could let Zhao Feng in the back door.


    Obviously, Zhao Feng had to display extreme talent in array setting to prove that he had the right to enter.


    Leaving old man Zhang, the 7 books surfaced in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    The books progressed from easy to hard. Out of the 7, Beginner¡¯s Array was the easiest, there wasn¡¯t much comprehension needed. One only needed to memorise it and from that alone, 70-80% would be learnt.


    When Zhao Feng had returned to his courtyard, he had learnt the first book Beginners Array.


    Next was the 49 Arrays for Beginners, which gave the reader a basic knowledge of arrays.


    ¡°If it was someone else, they would need at least 2-3 years to understand these books. Even a genius would need a few months.¡±


    From the second book onwards, Zhao Feng started to feel it become difficult.


    From a certain point of view, old man Zhang was making things difficult by giving him these 7 books!


    This was an impossible task for a normal prodigy, but Zhao Feng still tried to comprehend them all.


    The second book, 49 Arrays for Beginners, wasn¡¯t that hard either, he could probably finish it by tonight. But while trying to gain enlightenment from it, Zhao Feng realised something.


    The Illusion Fish Picture had similarities with the contents of these books, like they came from the same origin. This also meant that if he tried to comprehend the Illusion Fish Picture and Arrays books at the same time, it would be faster.


    Excitement shone in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, it was like he wanted to swallow them in one gulp.


    But a news that afternoon stopped him.


    ¡°Substitute inner disciple Zhao Feng, substitute disciple Xiao Sun ranked 16th has challenged you and he will fight you in 3 days.¡±


    This piece of news came from the Outer Hall Division.


    Challenger: Xiao Sun, ranked 16th.


    Challenged: Zhao Feng, ranked 13th


    ¡°This Xiao Sun is actually challenging me?¡±


    Zhao Feng threw the letter to the side and he didn¡¯t put it to heart. But before long, Princess Yun Mengxiang came.


    ¡°You must be careful of Xiao Sun! He¡¯s trained the Xiao family¡¯s skill Blazing Sun Sword Technique, which is a simplified version of the Middle Class Mortal Skill of the Broken Moon Clan, ¡®Blazing Sun Manual¡¯. After entering the Clan, he spent a lot of primal crystal stones and got a complete copy of Blazing Sun Manual through his connections. Ever since he got this manual, his cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds. With his half-step Ascended Realm cultivation, he has the ability to challenge the top 10.¡± Yun Mengxiang said solemnly.


    Middle Class Mortal Skill?


    Hearing this, even Zhao Feng was slightly moved.


    Mortal skills were Holy martial arts in the mortal world and they were split into low, middle, high, peak and the difference between every rank was huge, it was the difference between the clouds and mud.


    Peak Class Mortal Skills were what made the Broken Moon Clan famous, its power couldn¡¯t be imagined.


    If one was to ask how strong a Middle Class Mortal Skill was, then one had to mention Bei Moi¡¯s ¡°Rippling Technique.¡±


    Back then when they were sparring at the Guanjun Palace, Bei Moi had beaten Nan Gongfan, Yang Qingshan, Zhao Feng and the others with only one move. At that time, Yang Qingshan, Nan Gongfan and Zhao Feng had all learnt Holy martial arts and although there was a slight difference between their cultivation, it wasn¡¯t big.


    After entering the Clan, Zhao Feng started to realise that Bei Moi¡¯s Rippling Technique should be a Middle Class Mortal Skill.


    And now, Zhao Feng¡¯s opponent also had a Middle Class Mortal Skill and had reached the half step - Ascended Realm!


    ¡°Middle Class Mortal Skills are way too hard for one to learn under the Ascended Realm, so how high could Xiao Sun have reached in the Blazing Sun Manual?¡±


    A surge of confidence appeared from Zhao Feng.


    Unless Xiao Sun was as talented as Bei Moi, he wouldn¡¯t have reached a high level.


    Seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s reaction, Yun Mengxiang was only slightly surprised because she had gotten to know Zhao Feng¡¯s attitude over the past few days.


    ¡°There¡¯s also one more thing.¡± Yun Mengxiang said after slight hesitation.


    ¡°Speak.¡± Zhao Feng immediately responded.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this¡­ The situation of your two brothers aren¡¯t exactly good¡­ did you know this?¡± Yun Mengxiang said carefully.


    ¡°Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan? What happened!?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed lsightly.


    ¡­..


    Soon, Zhao Feng and Yun Mengxiang had arrived at where the outer disciples lived.


    Zhao Feng had lived at this place previously because he was once a normal outer disciple.


    Zhao Feng came to Yang Qingshan¡¯s room then he knocked and opened the door. What he saw was a skinny face.


    Yang Qingshan paused as he saw Zhao Feng and he was about to say something but he spat out a mouthful of blood instead.


    ¡°Brother Yang!¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately gave Yang Qingshan a ¡®Blood pill¡¯ that he had received in the Grass-Wood Division.


    After taking the pill, Yang Qingshan started to feel a bit better.


    Then Nan Gongfan next door walked inside. Instead of being internally injured like Yang Qingshan, Nan Gongfan had received external injuries.


    After a bit of questioning, Zhao Feng found out that the two had been bullied by a few substitute inner disciples with Hou Yuan leading them.


    ¡°These bastards just come and purposely make trouble for us when they have nothing to do¡­ ¡° Nan Gongfan said with a dim expression.


    Soon, Zhao Feng understood what had happened.


    When he had beat Ji Fengyun that day and established his strength. the two started to have stable lives but the good scene didn¡¯t last long.


    4-5 days ago, Hou Yuan as well as the Hong brothers, ranked 8th and 9th, started to make trouble for them.


    In just a few days time, Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan had no will to cultivate or work anymore.


    Hou Yuan only appeared a few times, it was the Hong brothers who mainly attacked.


    The Hong brothers were twins and called Hong San and Hong Si respectively.


    The pair of twins had high talent and they had been ranked 8th and 9th for a long time.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡± Zhao Feng tried to suppress his anger.


    Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan had looks of shame and bitterness.


    ¡°We were scared that we would disrupt brother Zhao and we thought that we could take it for a while.¡±


    Nan Gongfan lowered his head and he was scared to look Zhao Feng in the eye.


    ¡°Looks like I need to find a better way that will last longer.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly stood up as a cold light flashed in his eyes.


    The expressions of Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan changed dramatically: ¡°Brother Zhao, don¡¯t be rash! Hou Yuan challenged 3rd place a few days ago and won.¡±


    3rd place!


    That was the top tier of the outer disciples, they were only half a line away from becoming an inner disciple.


    Anxiousness appeared on Yun Mengxiang¡¯s face as she tried to prevent Zhao Feng from doing something rash.


    ¡°Relax, that was my original goal anyway.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was full of composure.


    Yun Mengxiang realised that his eyes were cold and calm, there was no sign of rashness.


    Furthermore, Yun Mengxiang had never seen Zhao Feng do something rash, it was like everything was under his control.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure blurred as he headed in a certain direction.


    ¡°Brother Zhao! Where are you going?¡±


    The three behind him called out as they followed him.


    ¡°To the Outer Hall Division.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was full of cold killing intent.


    In just a while, Zhao Feng had arrived at the Outer Hall Division.


    The Outer Hall Division was in charge of all the outer disciples and how the disciples were treated.


    ¡°The day is late, why are you here?¡± An old man of the Ascended Realm asked as his eyebrows raised up.


    ¡°Challenging a substitute inner disciple.¡± Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°Your name.¡±


    The gaze of the old man, who was at the Ascended Realm, turned to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Challenging 9th place¡­ Hong Si!¡±


    ¡°Challenging 8th place¡­ Hong San!¡±


    ¡°Challenging 3rd place¡­ Hou Yuan!¡±


    A voice full of killing intent and coldness echoed the Hall.


    What!?


    The eyeball of the old man twirled as he exclaimed: ¡°There¡¯s no rule saying that you can challenge them all.¡±


    At the same time, the expressions of Yun Mengxiang, Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan who had just caught up changed.


    This was just too crazy¡­


    ¡°Brother Zhao!¡±


    Under their screams of shock, they realised that there was no sign of Zhao Feng losing his emotions.


    It would shock everyone if one decided to challenge 9th, 8th and 3rd at once.


    ¡°Nope! This doesn¡¯t go with the rules.¡± The old man at the Ascended Realm shook his head.


    Zhao Feng stood unmoving as if he was unwilling.


    He wanted to challenge all three at once because it would save time. But if this wasn¡¯t possible, all he could do was fight one at a time.


    Just as Zhao Feng was about to give up.


    ¡°Agree to his terms!¡±


    An arrogant cold voice sounded from the depths of the Hall like it was was a god.

 126 Xiao Sun’s rage

    ¡°Agree to his terms!¡±


    A cold voice sounded as a strong surge of mental energy appeared. Everything in a few hundred yards radius fell silent.


    Zhao Feng felt that the owner of this voice was familiar and looking up, it was a middle aged man in azure, the Vice Head he had seen before.


    Vice Head!


    The heart of the Ascended Realm old man trembled as he nodded his head: ¡°Greetings Vice Head, I¡¯ll immediately pass Zhao Feng¡¯s challenge.¡±


    Shua!


    The azure clothed middle aged man glanced at Zhao Feng then left an afterimage in the air as he disappeared.


    Zhao Feng understood that Vice Heads had cultivation close to the True Spirit Realm and they held high authority in the Clan.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! In 3 days, you shall face the ranked 3rd, 8th and 9th substitute inner disciples. En¡­ apart from that, you will also face Xiao Sun¡¯s challenge.¡±


    The expression of the old man changed as he kept on speaking.


    This meant that Zhao Feng would fight 4 battles at once, of which 3 were ranked higher than him and 1 lower. Hou Yuan, who was ranked 3rd and one of the strongest outer disciples, would also be there.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Zhao Feng turned around and left, leaving behind the others who were all stunned.


    Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan didn¡¯t know what to say, they were obviously shocked by Zhao Feng¡¯s insane move.


    Surprise was written over Yun Mengxiang¡¯s face, it was a long time before she regained composure.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed and he returned to his courtyard.


    Yang Qingshan was about to go chase him, but she was stopped by Nan Gongfan: ¡°In the 3 days, brother Zhao will be focusing on increasing his strength. It¡¯s better for us to not disturb him.¡±


    No one was able to stop Zhao Feng now.


    On that very night, a piece of news shocked the entire outer disciples.


    Someone was challenging 3 substitute inner disciples at once and everyone of them was ranked in the top 10 with the best being 3rd.


    Almost every outer disciples heard this news and many of them came to ask Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan.


    The two were extremely anxious and guilty because all of this started because of them.


    A lot of outer disciples were waiting for the 3 days to pass.


    Inside a courtyard.


    ¡°The challenge in 3 days¡­ I, Xiao Sun shall defeat you so badly that you won¡¯t be able go any further.¡±


    Xiao Sun¡¯s fists were clenched as a surge of battle intent appeared from him.


    His gaze travelled to the 13th courtyard where Zhao Feng lived.


    Being ranked 16th, there was only 2 courtyards between them.


    Dark night, in a pavilion stood 4 figures.


    One of them was a handsome youth who wore a black striped shirt, meaning that he was an inner disciple.


    ¡°Brother Quan Chen.¡± Hou Yuan said respectfully.


    Quan Chen stood with his hands behind his back as a cold smile appeared: ¡°It looks like I¡¯ve underestimated Zhao Feng¡¯s guts. How dare he try and fight back against me?¡±


    ¡°Brother Quan Chen, it¡¯s ok. He won¡¯t be able to beat me.¡± Hou Yuan said slowly.


    ¡°Hahaha, that brat¡¯s going to fight 4 battles that day and he¡¯ll first have to beat Xiao Sun, which will cost him a lot of energy. After meeting us, he¡¯ll lose a layer of skin if he doesn¡¯t die.¡±


    The Hong brothers were confident.


    Quan Chen nodded his head as he scanned Hou Yuan and the Hong brothers.


    Zhao Feng was like an egg trying to smash a stone, but there was also a suspicious point.


    Why would Zhao Feng challenge the three when he would face Xiao Sun as well?


    The 4 battles were all gathered on 1 day!


    Was Zhao Feng a retard? What¡¯s the point of him doing this?


    This thought flashed in their hearts then passed. Since they¡¯ve already decided that Zhao Feng would lose horribly, why did the process matter?


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    Time flew by and the 3 days were coming to an end. In the past few days, no one came to disturb Zhao Feng and the latter only stayed in his room and he didn¡¯t come out.


    Everyone was sure that Zhao Feng would be grabbing each and every second to cultivate and sharpen himself. But in reality, Zhao Feng spent most of his time comprehending the Illusion Fish Picture and the array books.


    Zhao Feng wanted to learn the 7 books, so that he would be able to enter the Thousand Leaf Pond and improve his body.


    To enter the Ascended Realm with his body. This was Zhao Feng¡¯s current goal.


    For this, he had eaten one of the Marrow Cleansing Pills he had refined. Marrow Cleansing Pill was extremely effective for those under the Ascended Realm and it could increase one¡¯s attributes. But because this was the 2nd time he was taking one, the effect was only half of the one before.


    However, because of his mysterious left eye, he could absorb more energy and even though the energy taken in was only half of the one before, it wasn¡¯t any worse than anyone else taking it for the first time.


    After he ate the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Zhao Feng circulated Silver Wall Technique and Returning Breath Technique and felt his body and organs strengthen.


    The rise in his attributes increased Zhao Feng¡¯s foundation for the Silver Wall Technique. He even felt that his inner strength was denser and stronger than before.


    On the third day, Zhao Feng was sure that his Returning Breath Technique had reached the highest level and the quantity and quality of his inner strength had surpassed what it was supposed to be.


    This meant that his Returning Breath Technique had reached the max level and even surpassed it a bit, therefore his inner strength was at least on par with a normal cultivator of the half-step Ascended Realm.


    The only regret was that Silver Wall Technique didn¡¯t rise much. There was still a distance to the late stages of the 9th level, but Zhao Feng understood that because his attributes had risen, the breakthrough in body strengthening would be much easier.


    Therefore, the peak 9th level of the Silver Wall Technique had no resistance, all he needed was 10 days time at most.


    As for the last Marrow Cleansing Pill, Zhao Feng decided to sell it and get some primal crystal stones back. He had used 5 substandard primal crystal stones to buy the materials needed to make 2 Marrow Cleansing Pills and each pill could sell for 5 primal crystal stones.


    The next morning.


    Zhao Feng walked out of his courtyard and took in a breath of fresh air as he yawned.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng realised that there were many outer disciples near his courtyard.


    ¡°DId Zhao Feng come out?¡±


    ¡°Today¡¯s the day of the battle, he won¡¯t be a turtle and hide, will he?¡±


    This bunch of outer disciples would all love it if the heavens fell.


    No one didn¡¯t like to watch shows and this show had shocked all the outer disciples.


    Being the troublemaker, Zhao Feng was the focus of everyone. Over the past few days, his name had become famous.


    ¡°Brother Zhao!¡±


    Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan all came quickly over.


    At the beginning, Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan were angry that Zhao Feng was too rash.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s calm eyes had a sharpness to them, which made others to not dare to look straight at him.


    The hearts of Yang Qingshan and the others shook. At this moment, Brother Zhao gave the feeling of being a sword that could pierce through everything.


    They seemed to finally realise that none of them could see through Zhao Feng. Back at Lord Guanjun¡¯s, they felt that Bei Moi was the most terrifying, but they all knew how strong Bei Moi was. Unlike Zhao Feng in front of them who gave the feeling of mysterious, none of them knew where his limit was.


    Soon, Zhao Feng appeared under the ¡®guarding¡¯ of many outer disciples and arrived at the stage where substitute disciples fought.


    More and more people started to gather nearby.


    The outer disciples had the number of people. From ten years old to thirty years old, disciples of different ages all lived here and there was two to three hundred people here, almost half the number of outer disciples.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned the crowd and he soon saw Xiao Sun.


    Being the challenger, Xiao Sun arrived earlier.


    Next, Hou Yuan and the Hong brothers all appeared one by one.


    These 3 were all at the half-step Ascended Realm and the auras they released made the other disciples nearby feel uneasy. This was especially so for Hou Yuan, who was ranked 3rd, where his gaze made those under his sight lower their heads and avoid it.


    Zhao Feng knew a bit about Hou Yuan and then his eyes moved onto the Hong brothers. The Hong brothers, Hong San and Hong Si were twins and they looked the same. They both had short hair with muscular bodies. As they walked, their muscles bulged but not so much that it would affect their agility.


    ¡°Today¡¯s battles shall be overlooked by me.¡±


    Deacon Qiu slowly walked out and released his 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm aura, which made the outer disciples realise how low they really were in the Clan.


    The crowd soon quieted down.


    There was even a few other Deacons and Vice Deacons here today with interested expressions.


    ¡°The first battle, Xiao Sun, ranked 16th, challenges Zhao Feng, ranked 13th.¡±


    Deacon Qiu¡¯s voice resounded across the area.


    Teng!


    Just as he finished, Xiao Sun¡¯s figure flashed and like a stream of fire, landed on the stage.


    Zhao Feng lightly jumped through the air and landed on the stage as well.


    The first battle: Xiao Sun vs Zhao Feng!


    The newly entered disciples were extremely excited.


    Both Xiao Sun and Zhao Feng joined the Clan at the same time and Xiao Sun always had the highest cultivation, whereas Zhao Feng was famed for his battle power.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ you accepted my challenge and still dared to challenge Hou Yuan and co. meaning that you¡¯re not putting me in your eyes.¡± Xiao Sun murmured in his heart.


    In his left eye, a red light appeared, full of battle intent and anger. Under the circulation of the Middle Class Mortal, Skill Blazing Sun Manual, a fiery red aura spread across the stage as the temperature rose¡­ He was like a god of fire¡­

 127 Sweeping the outer disciples 1

    In that instant, Xiao Sun¡¯s battle intent and power reached its peak.


    His half-step Ascended Realm cultivation and Middle Class Mortal Skill Blazing Sun Manual gave him the ability to attack Zhao Feng anytime he wanted.


    ¡°How does a someone who just entered the Clan have a Middle Class Mortal Skill!?¡± The nearby outer disciples were all stunned.


    ¡°Apart from Lin Fan who¡¯s ranked 1st of the substitute inner disciples, I¡¯ve never heard of anyone else with a Middle Class Mortal Skill.¡±


    Those who had Middle Class Mortal Skills had a far greater advantage.


    ¡°Dammit! Brother Zhao¡¯s first opponent is already so troublesome!¡±


    Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan exchanged glances, both of them were solemn.


    Everyone knew that Zhao Feng would face 4 people today and none of them were easy. On the contrary, as each battle progressed, the opponent was more terrifying.


    Therefore, everyone didn¡¯t even think about Zhao Feng winning. They were thinking about how long he could last and from the current situation, the first battle with Xiao Sun was harder than expected.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­ it looks like we might not even have the chance to fight.¡±


    The Hong brothers let out a laugh.


    On the stage.


    Zhao Feng calmly inspected his first opponent.


    He would fight 4 battles today and therefore, he must finish the first battle fast. He even had to finish the first 3 battles in the shortest time possible because the most terrifying person was Hou Yuan and Zhao Feng must preserve his strength for him.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! The first battle will also be your last!¡±


    A red light flashed in Xiao Sun¡¯s eyes as his burning aura surged around Zhao Feng.


    ¡°What terrifying inner strength and speed.¡±


    It was like Zhao Feng had fallen into an ocean of fire. Before he could even make a move, his opponent had already condensed his inner strength and attacked.


    Booom¡­


    The bright red fist was like a meteor that thrust heavily towards Zhao Feng.


    Flowing Wind Stance! Smoking Transparent Step!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure blurred and disappeared. Then like a fish, he began to swerve around Xiao Sun¡¯s attacks.


    The red light and flashing figure made the crowd below unable to see properly.


    They could see Xiao Su¡¯s attacks, but not Zhao Feng¡¯s figure. Ever since the latter had comprehended the Illusion Fish Picture, Zhao Feng¡¯s Smoking Transparent Step had exceeded the max level.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was blurry, real, fake and full of change.


    Although Xiao Sun¡¯s attack was strong, none of them could even touch Zhao Feng¡¯s clothes. His speed skill was also great, and Xiao Sun couldn¡¯t detect which figure of Zhao Feng was real. He would get tricked by the illusion every time.


    ¡°This speed skill seems to contain enlightenment from arrays. Could it be¡­ ?¡±


    Deacon Qiu stared at Zhao Feng¡¯s figure as a stunned look passed through his eyes.


    The two on stage exchanged moves for a moment and although Xiao Sun¡¯s Blazing Sun Manual was indeed powerful. he missed every time. But his strength still made the top ten substitute inner disciples shocked.


    Even Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to face him head on. Firstly, he used a Middle Class mortal Skill and even though Xiao Sun hadn¡¯t trained it to a high level, it was still powerful. Secondly, Zhao Feng wanted to conserve his strength for the later battles.


    Blazing Sun 3 Strikes!


    A faint red glow appeared on Xiao Sun¡¯s body as a hot red fist thrust out 3 times one after another, creating a wide ranged wave attack.


    The faint red air wave blew out in all directions.


    Just from this move alone, he could beat Ji Fengyun, who was ranked 13th before. No wonder he had the confidence to challenge Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s illusional figure flashed around Xiao Sun and at this time, he finally made his move.


    Pew! Pew! Pew!


    His second finger stabbed out repetitively from different positions. Some streaks of light were straight, others curved, but they still pierced towards Xiao Sun.


    Xiao Sun¡¯s face instantly paled because Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks was full of agility and the real attacks were hard to find.


    All he heard was the sound of inner strength being released and therefore, he tried to find Zhao Feng¡¯s position by sound. But after Star Finger had merged with the enlightenments gained from the Illusion Fish Picture, it was almost an entirely new skill. The damage was greater and full of agility and illusions.


    What you see and what you hear might not be real because ears and eyes could be tricked by illusions.


    Shooosh!


    A streak of light pierced through Xiao Sun¡¯s shoulder leaving a bloody gash and it made the latter¡¯s body shake.


    Immediately came the second and third gash¡­


    Xiao Sun was in a desperate situation and he had to furiously circulate Blazing Sun Manual to try and retaliate. But every time he did, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to touch Zhao Feng¡¯s clothes.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed and offense skills always tricked Xiao Sun.


    In just a moment, there were 7-8 bloody gashes on Xiao Sun¡¯s body and his hair had been ruffled as he kept on puffing.


    ¡°Give up.¡±


    Two figures became one in front of Xiao Sun showing Zhao Feng¡¯s true body.


    Xiao Sun had spent a lot of energy and he had been injured. If it wasn¡¯t because Zhao Feng had gone easy, he might have already lost his life. But the feeling of not being able to even touch Zhao Feng throughout the battle made him lose his mind.


    Blazing Sun Wave Destruction!


    Xiao Sun¡¯s palm sliced through the air and hit Zhao Feng who was in front of him.


    This scene caused Yang Qingshan and co. below to exclaim in fear and think that Zhao Feng was too careless.


    Plop!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure disappeared into the air.


    Xiao Sun shouted ¡°s***¡± in his heart and before he could react, a sharp inner strength pierced him from behind.


    The power of this attack shot though his body.


    Xiao Sun¡¯s body turned stale as he barely managed to turn around and see Zhao Feng¡¯s cold eyes: ¡°If this was a real life-death battle, you would¡¯ve died a thousand times already¡­ ¡±


    What¡¯s the point of having high cultivation and strong offensive skills? If your real battle strength is c***, then there was no use.


    ¡°The first battle, the challenger Xiao Sun loses!¡± Deacon Qiu announced.


    After Xiao Sun lost, the Hong brothers took back their arrogance and their expressions turned solemn instead.


    From the fight just then, Xiao Sun¡¯s strength could be ranked top 10 and an elite such as him had been toyed with by Zhao Feng.


    It could be imagined that Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was only stronger than them and not any weaker.


    ¡°The second battle: Zhao Feng ranked 13th vs Hong Si ranked 9th.¡±


    Zhao Feng became the challenger now.


    Ceng!


    Hong Si¡¯s bulky figure was like a cat as he pounced on stage.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pupil contracted slightly. He found that Hong Si¡¯s movements were agile and he could see the immense power contained within the latter¡¯s body.


    ¡°An agile body, not only has he reached a high level in body strengthening, he¡¯s also reached the half-step Ascended Realm¡­ ¡±


    He had an image of Hong Si¡¯s strength. In terms of body strengthening and speed, Hong Si was much better than Xiao Sun before.


    Iron Plow Arm!


    Hong Si¡¯s figure jumped in front of Zhao Feng and he thrust his fists heavily towards Zhao Feng.


    Booom----


    A 50 cm hole was created on the stage, which was made from the pure black rock.


    Hong Si¡¯s Iron Plow Arm was an extremely dominant skill which swept everything.


    Zhao Feng immediately responded with Smoking Transparent Step and he evaded Hong Si¡¯s attacks. But Hong Si¡¯s battle consciousness was better than Xiao Sun¡¯s and he would catch onto Zhao Feng¡¯s figure.


    One Line Star Finger!


    A screeching sound suddenly appeared and swerved through the air before piercing through Hong Si¡¯s defensive barrier.


    Shoosh!


    A bloody mark was left on Hong Si¡¯s leg as the latter roared in pain.


    The reason Zhao Feng was successful was because he was able to catch Hong Si¡¯s minor flaw with his left eye. Hong Si himself didn¡¯t even know what went on just then.


    After being injured in the leg, Hong Si¡¯s speed slowed down and he was soon hit again and again by Zhao Feng¡¯s Star Finger. Only till ten bloody gashes later was he kicked off stage by Zhao Feng.


    Plop!


    Hong Si landed on his face and grinded his teeth in hatred. If he wasn¡¯t injured in the leg from the beginning, which slowed down his movement, he wouldn¡¯t have lost so quickly.


    ¡°Hong San! This guy¡¯s a bit weird, be careful¡­ ¡±


    Hong Si told Hong San who was about to go up what just happened.


    His older¡¯s brothers strength was greater than his and he was calmer.


    ¡°Hong San! You don¡¯t need to beat this brat. All you need to do is waste a bit of time with him and make him use more energy.¡± A voice sounded in his ear.


    Hong San nodded his head after hearing this and he walked on stage slowly and steadily.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but inspect his 3rd opponent closely.


    Hong San¡¯s aura was deeper than his brothers.


    Iron Eagle God Claw!


    Hong San¡¯s speed skill could retreat and advance and he was extremely agile. His attack was sharp and as fast as lightning.


    Pa!


    The lightning fast claw, which could shatter iron a few centimetres thick, slashed through the air.


    Smoking Transparent Step!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure became blurry again and dodged Hong San¡¯s deadly move.


    The two figures next began to exchange their moves respectively.


    Zhao Feng found that Hong San never attacked hastily, the latter was always focused and he didn¡¯t look down on his opponent.


    Hong San¡¯s eyes were sharp as he looked coldly at Zhao Feng: ¡°Brat surnamed Zhao, I admit that you¡¯re stronger than me, but it won¡¯t be easy to beat me.¡±


    His aim was just to waste Zhao Feng¡¯s energy, nothing else.

 128 Sweeping the outer disciples 2

    Zhao Feng felt a bit troubled when facing Hong San and although Hong San was stronger than Hong Si and Xiao Sun, this wasn¡¯t the main reason.


    It was because of his opponent''s¡¯ attitude.


    Firstly, he had admitted he wasn¡¯t as strong as Zhao Feng!


    This meant that he wouldn¡¯t look down on his opponent. On the contrary, he would use 200% of his power to fight Zhao Feng.


    Apart from that, his aim wasn¡¯t to win.


    His only goal was to expend Zhao Feng¡¯s energy.


    From the two points alone, Hong San would have almost no flaws.


    Even though Zhao Feng¡¯s movement skill was profound, Hong San didn¡¯t hastily attack. Instead, he tried to find out where Zhao Feng¡¯s actual position was.


    ¡°I can beat him in tens of moves¡­ But then¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed and appeared in front of Hong San again.


    Facing the calm Hong San, Zhao Feng decided to change his tactics. Instead of using skill, he would use absolute strength to suppress him.


    Zhao Feng took in a light breath and released his aura. Instantly, Zhao Feng¡¯s aura rose half a level, which made Hong San¡¯s expression change.


    Hou Yuan¡¯s pupil contracted as he watched from below. A lot of people were stunned, they didn¡¯t expect Zhao Feng still to be holding back.


    This meant that while fighting Xiao Sun and Hong Si, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t expend much energy at all.


    ¡°Impossible! The amount of energy he can store is even more than me¡­ ¡±


    Xiao Sun stared at Zhao Feng, who was getting stronger with every moment, with a pale face.


    One Lin Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng used his max level Star Finger and even though he didn¡¯t merge the 4 Wind Stances into it this time, the power still shocked the crowd.


    Boom! Boom! Boom¡­ !


    Streak after streak of azure light swept towards Hong San like a flock of birds.


    Hong San¡¯s face was pale white as he circulated his half-step Ascended Ream inner strength and spread a defensive barrier out.


    Limitless Mountain!


    Hong San spread out his arms and his aura turned as stable and deep as Mount Tai as it clashed with Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks.


    Peng----------------


    An explosion sounded between the two as rocks and dust were sent flying.


    From the looks of it, this was a battle of inner strength. But after a few seconds, Hong San grunted and was pushed back.


    While using his full strength, a flaw had appeared and Zhao Feng had taken advantage of it.


    A smile appeared of Zhao Feng¡¯s lips, he didn¡¯t believe that the opponent would be flawless when using their full strength.


    When tactics didn¡¯t work, overwhelming strength might be the best way and Zhao Feng forcefully made the opponent make an error.


    One Line Star Finger! Tornado Stance!


    Zhao Feng kept on attacking while he had the advantage and after the merging of the Tornado Stance, the power rose to another level.


    Pew! Pew! Qiu¡­ !


    The streaks of light were like a meteor shower and the power had exceeded the limits of the Consolidated Realm.


    The watching outer disciples stared with open mouths.


    At this moment, they had to admit Zhao Feng could be ranked in the top 5 and have the right to challenge 3rd place.


    ¡°Wah!¡±


    Hong San was only able to block a few moves before he spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though he tried his best just to expend Zhao Feng¡¯s energy, he still lost horribly.


    According to his original plan, he was to waste time and waste Zhao Feng¡¯s energy. But he didn¡¯t expect the latter to use one of his best moves and beat him in such a short amount of time.


    ¡°I tried my best.¡±


    Hong San looked helplessly towards Hou Yuan.


    Hou Yuan¡¯s expression was still calm: ¡°You¡¯ve already forced Zhao Feng to use all his strength, so he should have expended a bit of energy.¡±


    The spectators went crazy as Zhao Feng won his 3rd battle.


    Before today, none of them would have thought that Zhao Feng would be able to take care of three opponents so quickly and efficiently.


    From the current situation, it seemed that Zhao Feng won his fights pretty easily. There was no hard fought battles.


    After beating Hong San, Zhao Feng replaced his rank.


    ¡°The fourth challenge: Zhao Feng ranked 8th vs Hou Yuan ranked 3rd.¡±


    Expectations flashed in Deacon Qiu¡¯s eyes.


    After winning 3 battles in a row, was Zhao Feng able to win the last one as well?


    Everyone knew that Hou Yuan was Zhao Feng¡¯s greatest opponent today.


    Being ranked 3rd, Hou Yuan was one of the overlords of the outer disciples and he had even challenged cultivators who had reached the Ascended Realm.


    From a certain point of view, Hou Yuan¡¯s strength had exceeded the Consolidated Realm.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! You won¡¯t have any chance facing me!¡±


    Hou Yuan¡¯s bulky and muscular figure shook the stage. Cracks like spider webs appeared on the hard pure black stone.


    In just dropping on stage, Hou Yuan had already showed how strong he was.


    Shoosh!


    Hou Yuan¡¯s clothes were thrown away, revealing his body. The aura he released could frighten away peak tier deadly beasts.


    Siiii!


    The outer disciples all took in a cold breath and shock appeared in their eyes.


    ¡°Aura close to a Lord tier deadly beast.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    Compared to half a month ago, Hou Yuan¡¯s strength had increased. No wonder he was able to replace the original 3rd place.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye could see that Hou Yuan¡¯s body had almost reached the Ascended Realm.


    Both he and Hou Yuan focused on body strengthening and their goal was the same - to enter the Ascended Realm with their bodies. But comparing the two, Hou Yuan was closer than Zhao Feng.


    After all, Hou Yuan had entered the Clan earlier and had trained for a long time.


    If he was able to go half a step further, he would be the first outer disciple to enter the Ascended Realm with his body in the past hundred years.


    Ceng! Ceng!


    Hou Yuan closed in on Zhao Feng step by step.


    Small Golden Metal Fist!


    Hou Yuan¡¯s fist seemed to expand as a layer of gold covered it.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye contracted slightly as his expression turned solemn.


    Boom¡­ !


    The moment the fist had been thrust out, Hou Yuan¡¯s body and fist had appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    The explosive energy and speed of Hou Yuan surpassed the Hong brothers easily.


    The spectating outer disciples stared in shock.


    Hou Yuan¡¯s fist could instantly kill any cultivator at the 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm.


    Silver Wall Mountain Opening!


    In the nick of time, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength exploded as well.


    Fist clashed against fist, full of wildness and power. No tactic or skills were involved at all.


    All the outer disciples heard a ¡®Bang!¡¯ before there ears trembled and they lost their hearing.


    Teng Teng Teng¡­


    Zhao Feng and Hou Yuan both retreated at once and left cracks on the ground.


    Zhao Feng had retreated 9 steps before he stabilised his body, while Hou Yuan had only taken 8 steps.


    Hou Yuan had gained the upper hand slightly, but this scene shocked the outer disciples below.


    ¡°Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t crushed by Hou Yuan, even though they were fighting head on¡­ ?¡±


    ¡°That guy also focuses on body strengthening and he is able to counter Hou Yuan!¡±


    Discussion broke out nearby.


    This was something that no one expected.


    The most stunned person was Hou Yuan himself, he clearly knew how hard it was to strengthen one¡¯s body. And it was hard to imagine how the youth in front of him, who was only 14-15 years, was able to reach such a level.


    One had to know that his own age was 24-25, he was 10 years older than Zhao Feng.


    If he couldn¡¯t reach the Ascended Realm by 30, he would be thrown away by the Clan.


    ¡°His body strengthening level has indeed reached a higher level than me.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was as calm as water as the power of his left eye opened.


    His Silver Wall Technique focused on increasing power and defense.


    Hou Yuan had trained in a body strengthening technique that wasn¡¯t any worse than Silver Wall Technique and it had reached a higher level.


    ¡°I never thought that you also focused on body strengthening and trained it to high level. But today, you will still lose.¡±


    Hou Yuan¡¯s expression was cold as his muscles tensed.


    Through his left eye, Zhao Feng realised that Hou Yuan¡¯s inner strength and body strengthening technique both perfectly merged with his bones.


    Crack! Crack¡­ !


    Hou Yuan¡¯s bones cracked as he released a terrifying aura.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped, he had the feeling that he was fighting a Lord tier deadly beast.


    It was hard to imagine what level Hou Yuan had reached with his body strengthening technique to be able to perfectly merge his inner strength and body together.


    ¡°Gold Bronze Casting Body!¡±


    Hou Yuan¡¯s aura suddenly rose another half a level as a golden, bronze coloured appeared on his body.


    After using this technique Gold Bronze Casting Body, Hou Yuan had the ability to challenge those at the Ascended Realm.


    Small Gold Metal Fist!


    A golden fist thrust through the aira and enveloped Zhao Feng.


    The speed was too fast. If it was under a normal situation, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to react in time. But at this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was opened to the max and he was able to block Hou Yuan¡¯s lightning quick strike.


    Peng----


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body was sent back tens of yards. If it wasn¡¯t because his Silver Wall Technique''s forte was defense, the punch just then would¡¯ve caused him to vomit blood.


    ¡°Down¡­ ¡±


    Hou Yuan had forced Zhao Feng to the edge of the stage. If he fell off stage, it would mean that he lost.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was destroyed by a fist.


    Hou Yuan had missed this time.


    Flowing Wind Stance! Smoking Transparent Step!


    Zhao Feng merged the enlightenment from Flowing Wind Stance into his max level movement skill.


    Instantly, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed skill reached its peak level. The comprehension gained from Illusion Fish Picture was merged more and more and Zhao Feng became closer to a fish.


    Hou Yuan¡¯s movement skill was his weakness when compared to Zhao Feng.


    Many times, he had been tricked by Zhao Feng and his attacks missed.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye opened as he started to inspect Hou Yuan¡¯s Gold Bronze Casting Body¡­

 129 Sweeping the outer disciples 3

    Gold Bronze Casting Body.


    This was Hou Yuan¡¯s killing move and when used, his power and defense would rise to another level. Zhao Feng had been pushed back just then and he was almost injured.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng opened his left eye to inspect the move¡¯s flaws.


    In his enhanced vision mode, sizzles of red gold light appeared in Hou Yuan¡¯s body.


    ¡°Perfect merging between body strengthening technique and inner strength. Another half a step more and he will reach the Ascended Realm with his body.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    No wonder there was rumours that the top substitute inner disciples had the ability to challenge those at the Ascended Realm. Body strengthening technique was the simplest way of cultivation and it was about domination others with power. Therefore, the flaws of body strengthening techniques were actually quite small.


    Zhao Feng opened his left eye and he couldn¡¯t find any obvious flaws.


    He could see the principle behind the Gold Bronze Casting Body, but because the style of the two body strengthening techniques were different, he couldn¡¯t use it on himself in a short amount of time.


    ¡°Brat! I¡¯ll see how long can you last!¡±


    Hou Yuan¡¯s voice sounded as his offense rate decreased. Instead, he tried his best to find Zhao Feng¡¯s figure and he didn¡¯t attack rashly.


    After Zhao Feng¡¯s movement skill had merged with the Illusion Fish Picture, there was illusions everywhere which suited chaotic situations. So when the opponent made more moves, they were easier to get tricked.


    A calm, logical person would restrict their movement, which would make the effect of the Illusion Fish Picture decrease. In a short amount of time, Hou Yuan didn¡¯t move, he was trying to find Zhao Feng¡¯s true body and he wouldn¡¯t waste energy.


    If the enemy doesn¡¯t move, I shall.


    Star Finger!


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly and sent his max level Star Finger at Hou Yuan.


    Ding Ding Ding¡­ !


    Sparks appeared as the attacks landed on Hou Yuan, these sharp moves didn¡¯t even pierce through his defense.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ This is your attack?¡±


    What terrifying defense!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat, the defense of the Gold Bronze Casting Body was even stronger than his Silver Air Barrier¡¯s.


    Small Gold Metal Fist!


    Hou Yuan exclaimed as he locked onto Zhao Feng and thrust out his fist.


    The wind alone from the fist could destroy cultivators at the 8th and 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm.


    Silver Air Barrier!


    Zhao Feng circulated his inner strength to the max and he used the defensive skill of Silver Wall Technique. A thin layer of transparent silver appeared on his skin.


    Boooom¡­¡­..


    The fist hit its target and the silver transparent barrier shook and its colour dimmed down. Zhao Feng felt like there was a mountain bearing down on him and under this pressure, his Returning Breath Technique exceeded the max level.


    Craaaack!


    Under the move that could even push back some at the Ascended Realm, the Silver Air Barrier finally broke. But Zhao Feng had used this energy to jump back tens of yards and he retreated by using his Smoking Transparent Step.


    Teng! Teng!


    Hou Yuan was also pushed back by the destruction of the Silver Air Barrier and his expression turned solemn for the first time.


    From the beginning till now, Zhao Feng¡¯s performance in speed, movement and power had exceeded his expectations once again and he was able to fight him to a par in a short amount of time.


    In terms of movement, Hou Yuan had to admit he wasn¡¯t as good as Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had comprehended the Illusion Fish Picture and it was best when used with speed skills especially, so Smoking Transparent Step had exceeded the max level.


    Furthermore, Returning Breath Technique had given Zhao Feng dense and thick inner strength.


    If Zhao Feng wanted to, he could fight to a standstill.


    This was something that Hou Yuan didn¡¯t want to see, but Zhao Feng goal wasn¡¯t to fight to a draw.


    Star Finger! Tornado Stance!


    Small Gold Metal Fist!


    Silver Wall Mountain Opener!


    ¡­..


    The two figures intertwined at times and split up.


    Zhao Feng was the one who attacked, while Hou Yuan was on the defensive.


    The outer disciples were all shocked.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng has strength comparable to Hou Yuan!¡±


    ¡°Hmph! He¡¯s just relying on his speed skill to counter Hou Yuan. If they fought head on, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be Hou Yuan¡¯s opponent.¡±


    ¡°Speed skill is also a part of strength. In terms of speed, he¡¯s able to beat every outer disciple.¡±


    No matter what they said the crowd was still stunned at Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength. Their gazes were focused on the two figures on the stage.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s movement skill was profound and every time, the spectators would get tricked,


    Out of ten attacks, Hou Yuan could only get in a maximum of 2-3 attacks on the real target and he had to rely on luck.


    Just as the two had fought 40-50 moves, no result was to be seen.


    Tornado Stance! Mysterious Wind Palm!


    Zhao Feng suddenly lept into the air and his fighting style had changed. An azure light appeared from his palm that spun in circles faster and faster and it pulled the nearby wind into it.


    The move seemed slow, but it was in fact extremely fast and it seemed to use the power of nature to slice through everything in it¡¯s path.


    ¡°It¡¯s that move!¡±


    Ji Fengyun, who was watching below, held his breath.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s move was the Mysterious Wind Palm, which had beat Ji Fengyun that day and now Zhao Feng¡¯s move was now 1-2 times stronger than before.


    Gold Metal Sky Pole!


    Hou Yuan solemnly used an offensive and defensive skill. His two hands lifted like he wanted to push the Heavens up.


    The two killing moves clashed heavily mid air and sent out continuous ¡®Ding Ding¡¯ sounds.


    One figure was midair, while the other was on the ground. As the moves collided,a chaotic surge of energy spread out to the nearby area and blew up a layer of dust which covered the stage.


    This continued for a breaths time before the two figures split with a ¡®peng¡¯.


    Teng! Teng! Teng¡­


    One golden figure ¡®hmphed¡¯ as he retreated, while the other figure flipped in midair and landed softly on the ground.


    As the dust fell down again, the two figures could be seen.


    Zhao Feng was the same as usual, the only difference was that his clothes were ripped.


    As for Hou Yuan, tens of bloody marks appeared on his body. But from the looks of it, he wasn¡¯t seriously injured.


    But even then the spectators took in cold breaths.


    Who would have thought that Hou Yuan would be so ruffled?


    ¡°Maybe he will soon be the new top outer disciple.¡± A clear voice sounded from nearby.


    Hearing this voice, many people¡¯s body stiffened, especially those substitute inner disciples such as Ji Fengyun and the Hong brothers, who looked at the man that spoke.


    From the crowd, a path was created and out came a youth.


    This youth¡¯s face was normal and he had a calm expression. But it was this face that made the other disciples respectful.


    ¡°Lin Fan, ranked 1st!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s even here? I heard that Lin Fan had beaten inner disciples of the Ascended Realm once.¡±


    Lin Fan¡¯s appearance caused a shockwave.


    1st amongst the outer disciples?


    Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxiang, Yang Qingshan and co. looked at this rumoured figure.


    Ever since they became disciples, they had heard people speak of Lin Fan more than once.


    Apparently, Lin Fan¡¯s talent was very average, only a half spiritual body and he was barely able to enter the Clan. But it was someone like him who reached the throne of the outer disciples through hard work.


    ¡°Lin Fan, do you mean Zhao Feng? He will become the top outer disciple?¡±


    ¡°Even you think that you¡¯re not his match?¡±


    A few of the substitute inner disciples couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    ¡°Firstly, his movement skill is the best amongst the outer disciples. Even I can¡¯t match him.¡± Speaking up to here, Lin Fan paused.


    A few substitute inner disciples nodded their heads in agreement.


    ¡°Secondly, Hou Yuan¡¯s defense is the best amongst the outer disciples and up to now, Zhao Feng hasn¡¯t been injured yet whereas Hou Yuan has, even though it¡¯s the slightest injury.¡± Lin Fan said smiling.


    Yun Mengxiang inspected this top outer disciple. But no matter from which perspective she looked, it seemed he was normal in every way.


    Lin Fan analysed: ¡°This means that Zhao Feng¡¯s offense, defense and speed have reached the top, so overall he¡¯s stronger than Hou Yuan. Hou Yuan¡¯s defense is the best amongst the outer disciples and if Zhao Feng is able to beat him, he shall become the new top outer disciple.¡±


    The crowd felt that there was reason to this. After all, the substitute inner disciple ranked 2nd had only fought Hou Yuan to a draw.


    At this moment, the situation on stage changed again.


    One Line Star Finger! Partial Wind Stance!


    Zhao Feng suddenly merged the 3rd stance of the 4 Wind Stances into his attacks.


    The enlightenment from the Partial Wind Stance was much stronger than the Tornado Wind Stance and now, Zhao Feng¡¯s body and cultivation were both much better than before.


    Qiuuuu¡­ !


    Sharp inner strength flashed through the air. Zhao Feng¡¯s finger was like a blade as it pierced through Hou Yuan¡¯s waist!


    ¡°How!?¡±


    Hou Yuan¡¯s body stiffened as he looked at the mark on his waist. He couldn¡¯t believe that his defense had been broken so easily by the opponent.


    Qiuuuuu¡­ !


    Another thin finger mark flashed in front of him.


    As that instant, Hou Yuan was dazed as a bloody mark had appeared on his neck.


    The hairs on his body were all straight and cold sweat poured from his forehead. It seemed that he had almost walked into the doors of death.


    The strength of the second finger had obviously been conserved or else his throat would have been slit.


    ¡°Just like I thought.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he stood in front of Hou Yuan.


    Without a doubt, Zhao Feng¡¯s most powerful single target move right now was One Line Star Finger merged with Partial Wind Stance. His Burning Wind Stance had only been comprehended 20-30% so far.


    When the Tornado Stance merged with the Mysterious Wind Palm, the attack lasted longer but it wasn¡¯t as effective as the Partial Wind Stance against Hou Yuan.


    Partial Wind aimed for sharpness and it was the perfect counter against body strengthening techniques as its forte was piercing, which was suitable against opponents with strong defence.


    ¡°I lost!¡±


    Only till a little while later did Hou Yuan realise that he had lost, but he had to confront this reality. Any more fighting had no point because Zhao Feng¡¯s One Line Star Finger merged with the Partial Wind Stance could destroy the defence that he was so proud of easily.

 130 Top outer disciple

    ¡°The challenger, Zhao Feng wins!¡±


    Deacon Qiu¡¯s voice echoed and the outer disciples awoke from their dream.


    Hou Yuan had lost!


    Shock appeared on the outer disciples faces, they felt like it had come too suddenly.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s last attack had easily broken through Hou Yuan¡¯s defense.


    The latter¡¯s speed and defense were both weaker than Zhao Feng¡¯s, what confidence did Hou Yuan have to continue fighting?


    The last exchange made Lin Fan¡¯s expression, who was ranked 1st amongst the outer disciples, change dramatically.


    ¡°What a terrifying attack! It could even threaten cultivators at the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm.¡± Lin Fan thought in his heart as he inspected Zhao Feng on stage.


    4 continuous wins against substitute inner disciples, this was something that hadn¡¯t happened in a hundred years because according to the rules, one couldn¡¯t challenge people continuously.


    The outer disciples present including the substitute inner disciples looked at Zhao Feng with fear and respect.


    ¡°Zhao Feng can beat Hou Yuan, which means that Jiang Yuyan, who¡¯s ranked 2nd, won¡¯t be his match either.¡±


    ¡°With his strength, he even might be able to beat Lin Fan, who¡¯s ranked 1st.¡±


    The crowd started to murmur in low voices. The top 20 outer disciples were also known as substitute inner disciples and Lin Fan had the record of beating someone at the Ascended Realm.


    Jiang Yuyan and Hou Yuan didn¡¯t have much of a difference, but even Jiang Yuyan couldn¡¯t break Hou Yuan¡¯s defense easily.


    Zhao Feng had beaten Hou Yuan so easily at the end. It was certain that his strength was stronger than the current 2nd place.


    ¡°I¡¯m not his match!¡± A girl said deeply as she looked at Zhao Feng on the stage.


    She was Jiang Yuyan, who was ranked 2nd.


    After watching the fight between Zhao Feng and Hou Yuan, Jiang Yuyan came up with this conclusion.


    In terms of speed and movement, Zhao Feng easily took 1st. In terms of offense, he was 1st as well since he was able to easily break through Hou Yuan¡¯s defense.


    Apart from that, Zhao Feng¡¯s body and strength was just belows Hou Yuan¡¯s.


    With the combination of all this, Jiang Yuyan felt fear. She didn¡¯t have a strong defense like Hou Yuan. So if she faced Zhao Feng, she would lose even more horribly.


    But¡­


    Jiang Yuyan and Hou Yuan both believed that there was one person who had the chance to defeat Zhao Feng and that person was Lin Fan.


    ¡°You¡¯re very strong. From now on, you shall be the new top outer disciple.¡± Lin Fan smiled.


    Hearing this, the crowd was stunned.


    What was going on?


    Curiosity appeared, all of them knew clearly how strong Lin Fan was.


    Could it be that even Lin Fan wasn¡¯t as powerful as Zhao Feng?


    ¡°Lin Fan, you haven¡¯t even fought him, so why did you give the title of top outer disciple to him?¡±


    Hou Yuan and Jiang Yuyan were both unwilling. They both knew that Lin Fan had even beaten someone of the Ascended Realm, so his strength should be even more terrifying.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng glanced at Lin Fan with his left eye and immediately understood.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ I¡¯m not an outer disciple anymore. 2 days ago, I broke through to the Ascended Realm and I went to the Heavenly Core Division to become an inner disciple.¡±


    Lin Fan¡¯s laughed loudly as a surge of mental energy spread out from his body, pressuring the outer disciples.


    Everyone was shocked at this news.


    He had broke through to the Ascended Realm and become an inner disciple!


    This was the dream of many outer disciples and Lin Fan had finally achieved this dream after fighting amongst the outer disciples for a long time.


    Everyone glanced understandingly at Lin Fan.


    Zhao Feng smiled as well. He felt that this Lin Fan he had just met was pretty nice.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I believe in a few years time at most, we¡¯ll be meeting as inner disciples.¡±


    Lin Fan gave Zhao Feng a high evaluation.


    ¡°I hope so.¡± Zhao Feng said humbly.


    Lin Fan didn¡¯t stay for long and he left behind a group of envious outer disciples.


    After Lin Fan left, Zhao Feng once again became the centre of attention.


    ¡°Now that Lin Fan¡¯s an inner disciple, doesn¡¯t that mean Zhao Feng¡¯s the new top outer disciple?¡±


    The hearts of the crowd jumped with fear, respect and wary especially people such as Hou Yuan, the Hong brothers and Ji Fengyun.


    Zhao Feng was now the top outer disciple, this was a result that the latter didn¡¯t expect as well.


    He had swept all the outer disciples and he now stood at the top.


    Beating 4 substitute inner disciples in a row, stunning Jiang Yuyan, who was ranked 2nd and Lin Fan had just reached the Ascended Realm.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng landed in front of Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan. The two were both excited and they didn¡¯t know whether to cry or laugh.


    Next to them, Princess Yun Mengxiang had complex emotions in her eyes as she inspected this youth, who surpassed her expectations once again.


    Somehow, the more she surveyed Zhao Feng, the more she felt that she couldn¡¯t see through him.


    Now that Lin Fan had left, the 20 substitute disciples had 1 spot missing and there was going to be another battle for the remaining slot.


    According to the rules, Zhao Feng¡¯s ranked would rise from 3rd to 2nd. But at this moment, Jiang Yuyan walked up to Deacon Qiu and said something.


    Deacon Qiu nodded his head and called Zhao Feng over.


    ¡°Jiang Yuyan said she isn¡¯t as strong as you. From now on, you shall be the top outer disciple and receive the best treatment.¡± Deacon Qiu said smiling.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng looked curiously at Jiang Yuyan.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! I admit I¡¯m not your match right now, but it won¡¯t be long before I take back the rank that belongs to me.¡± Jiang Yuyan spoke coldly then turned around and left.


    Like this, Zhao Feng became the top outer disciple and on the same day, he moved into another courtyard.


    The treatment of 1st place was far better than the others.


    For example, Zhao Feng got 10 substandard primal crystal stones each month, which was the same as an inner disciple. At the same time, he would also get other resources.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I heard that the you can go to the Clan and choose a Middle Class Mortal Skill in 3 days unless someone challenges you in this period.¡± Princess Yun Mengxiang came and told him.


    Middle Class Mortal Skill?


    Zhao Feng was excited and surprised when he heard this. Bei Moi¡¯s Rippling Technique was a Middle Class Mortal Skill and he had used it to dominate the 5 of them back then.


    Xiao Sun trained the Blazing Sun Manual and even though he hadn¡¯t reached a high level, the strength of it was already strong enough to reach the top 10. But Middle Class Mortal Skills weren¡¯t open to outer disciples.


    Only when one became an inner disciple would they have the chance to learn a Middle Class Mortal Skill.


    Even though the difference between a Low class and Middle class Mortal skill seemed small, it was greater than the difference in 1 rank of the Consolidated Realm¡­


    ¡°If there aren¡¯t any accidents in the next 3 days, I should be able to get a Middle class Mortal skill.¡± Zhao Feng was full of expectation.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t forget about the Thousand Leaf Pond. It contributed greatly to his goal of entering the Ascended Realm with his body.


    Therefore, he spent a lot of time comprehending the 7 array books that old man Zhang had given him.


    Because Zhao Feng had already taken 2 Marrow Cleansing Pills, his attributes had risen greatly and his Silver Wall Technique had progressed greatly.


    Maybe in 10 days, his Silver Wall Technique would be able to reach the peak of the 9th rank.


    Apart from cultivation, Zhao Feng also visited Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan. Everywhere where he went, the outer disciples would greet him.


    ¡°Greetings, Brother Zhao!¡±


    Even a few disciples who were older than him and had better talent, would respectfully greet him.


    Now Zhao Feng was the top outer disciple and he had crushed every outer disciple below his feet. This goal was achieved earlier than he expected.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s protection, Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan¡¯s days were relaxed.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, no one dares to offend us now.¡±


    Yang Qingshan was so happy that his eyebrows stuck out.


    Nan Gongfan on the other hand was slightly worried: ¡°Brother Zhao, your performance in the past has been too great. What if it catches the attention of Hai Yun Master?¡±


    ¡°Being an outer disciple, no matter how strong I am, I still won¡¯t catch Hai Yun Master¡¯s attention. Only when I become an inner disciple will I enter his line of sight.¡±


    Zhao Feng was confident. He was sure that Hai Yun Master didn¡¯t even know of his existence right now because he only had a Low tier Spiritual Body and people such as Quan Chen didn¡¯t look at him in the eye.


    No matter how strong a disciple at the Consolidated Realm was, they were still an ant.


    3 days passed in the flash of an eye and no one dared to challenge Zhao Feng¡¯s position.


    Jiang Yuyan and Hou Yuan, ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively, both knew that they weren¡¯t Zhao Feng¡¯s match. So the latter immediately went to the Outer Hall Division and applied for consent to get his Middle class Mortal skill.


    His application needed to be agreed by the Outer Hall Division to prove that there was no ¡°fraud¡± involved, but Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was true to his name.


    The 4 continuous wins that day had shocked all the outer disciples and a few Deacons had even seen it.


    The most important part was that a Vice Head had agreed to his challenges and therefore, his application passed easily.


    ¡°This Hollow Building Token can only be used once. With this token in our hand, you are able to enter the sacred ground of the Clan - the Hollow Building.¡±


    Deacon Qiu handed an azure bronze token over.


    The Hollow Building?


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised because he had heard the rumours about the Hollow Building before.


    ¡°The Hollow Building isn¡¯t like the Martial art libraries in the mortal world, it¡¯s a place of inheritance from the Clan. According to the rules, a normal inner disciple can only enter the building once before reaching the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.¡± Deacon Qiu gave a long glance at Zhao Feng.

 131 Extreme Choice

    Hearing this, Zhao Feng was filled with joy as he heard what Deacon Qiu meant.


    According to the rules, a normal inner disciple only had one chance to enter the Hollow building. But right now Zhao Feng was only an outer disciple, not an inner disciple.


    This meant that he had the chance to enter the Hollow Building before some inner disciples. And when Zhao Feng became an inner disciple, he had the chance to enter the Hollow Building again.


    The advantage gained was unbelievable.


    ¡°This rule was set by the Clan Creator. The top outer disciple shall have the authority to enter once.¡± Deacon Qiu had a faint smile.


    The Clan Creator!


    Zhao Feng thought in his heart that the Clan Creator had given disciples without great talent a trace of life.


    The Clan looked most importantly at talent after all and those that were outer disciples didn¡¯t have high talent.


    Before this, Sun Haoyuan had a Changeable Body and Liu Yue¡¯er had a High tier Spiritual Body. But the two had been accepted as inner disciples straight away.


    After saying goodbye to Deacon, Qiu Zhao Feng headed to the Hollow Building with his token.


    The Hollow Building was a sacred ground of the Clan and inner disciples as well as Deacons weren¡¯t allowed to enter easily.


    From a few miles away, Zhao Feng already saw a half transparent tower near the edge of the cliff. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye scanned it, but it couldn¡¯t see what materials made up the building. But one thing was certain, the material used was expensive.


    Two lines of guards stood at the entrance, each of them had at least reached the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm. Their cultivations were all higher than Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°This is an important place of the Clan, leave now!¡±


    A guard exclaimed as he sent out his mental energy, which made Zhao Feng find it hard to breath.


    The other guards were full of disdain as well. They had seen that Zhao Feng¡¯s clothes were of an outer disciples and the 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm was an ant in their eyes.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng took out the Hollow Building Token and the expression of the guard who had just shouted out changed.


    ¡°Please.¡±


    The group of guards sent Zhao Feng into the building with their eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to believe that that kid is the top outer disciple.¡±


    The guards were all surprised.


    Entering the Hollow Building, Zhao Feng had the feeling of that he had stepped into another dimension because the inside was full of colour.


    He had been learning arrays right now and he could feel the existence of them in the Hollow building.


    The power of arrays had no shape nor colour, but they had been protecting this place for thousands of years. Before he could open his left eye to inspect the arrays of the building, an old voice sounded in his mind: ¡°Hand over your token.¡±


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng threw his token over.


    ¡°Bronze grade token. You can choose a Middle class Mortal skill.¡±


    As the voice disappeared, a staircase appeared appeared in front of Zhao Feng which he stepped onto.


    The world at the top of the staircase was full of mist and countless jade slips floated in it. Every jade slip had a few pictures and words on it with the description, introduction and requirements of the skill.


    ¡°Dragon Returning Palm¡­ Dominant King Fists¡­ No Wind Manual¡­ Scorching Flame Sword¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng scanned through the hundreds and thousand of skills and he copied the descriptions into his mind.


    Soon, Zhao Feng had a bit of understanding of all of the skills. Most of them could be cultivated to the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm or higher and the better one¡¯s could reach the 5th Sky.


    Low class Mortal skills usually trained one to the Ascended Realm and Middle Class Mortal skills could be trained one to the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm or higher.


    High class Mortal skills could be cultivated to the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm and a small number to the True Spirit Realm.


    Peak class Mortal skills could definitely be trained to the True Spirit Realm and it was these skills that were the true treasures of the Clan.


    As for the Spiritual Class skills, these were the killing moves of the Clan and no one under the rank of Elder had the right to train them. And those under the True Spirit Realm would find it hard to comprehend.


    ¡°You must find a skill in half an hour and all you need to do is grab a jade slip and put your consciousness into it to get the skill.¡±


    The person with the old voice seemed to realise that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really understand the rules of the Hollow Building.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt weird that the voice would always appear in his head, because in the mortal world when one spoke from long distances, it would sound next to their ears. But thinking that this was a Clan, everything could be explained.


    Soon, Zhao Feng scanned through all the skills and he remembered which ones he needed.


    All the credit went to his left eye. Other disciples would find it almost impossible to finish reading all of the slips in such a short amount of time.


    After reading it, Zhao Feng soon excluded the skills that had restrictions in cultivation, like the ones that needed the cultivator to reach the Ascended Realm to train.


    He then picked out the skills which had greater power and weremore profound.


    This way, he had 100-200 skills suitable elite skills.


    These elite skills were all Middle class Mortal skills, but they were of the better rank. Unfortunately, Zhao Feng could only choose one.


    After thinking for a long time, Zhao Feng decided to choose an offensive skill.


    ¡°Dragon Returning Palm: The palm becomes a dragon which can crush mountains. And when trained to the high level, a dragon shadow shall follow which will create fear in the opponent. Requires a dense and strong inner strength.¡±


    ¡°7 Deadly Fingers: Split into 7 levels and it is a powerful single target attack. Requires perfect control.¡±


    ¡°Scorching Flame Sword: Sword like fire, when it reaches the high level, each swing of the sword can cause a scorching flame that will vanquish all those under the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm¡­ ¡±


    ¡­¡­.


    Zhao Feng looked at the offensive skills which had power that exceeded the limits of nature.


    For example, that Scorching Flame Sword could create fire from nothing, was this power that a human could withstand?


    Of course, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t consider using other weapons because his left eye was more suitable for archery.


    Relying on weapons wasn¡¯t a good idea because what if it the weapon broke? His strength would decrease massively.


    Furthermore, once one broke through to the Ascended Realm, long distance attacks were normal and the advantage of close combat weapons wasn¡¯t great.


    Looking at the skills for a while, an unique skill appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Lightning Wind Palm: Contains the power of lightning and wind, using the wind to cause lightning. When trained to the peak level, one can summon lightning. But maybe because it¡¯s only a partial skill almost, no one has trained it to the peak level.¡±


    Attention: This skill contains a lot of danger and there¡¯s records of a cultivator who trained this skill being killed by lightning.


    Learn carefully!


    The last warning seemed to be just added on because the marks were still fresh.


    ¡°Lightning Wind Palm, it¡¯s going to be you.¡±


    Zhao Feng just chose this skill, and it was one of the most dangerous one¡¯s.


    He had trained in the Star Finger before and Zhao Feng understood that the more dangerous it was to cultivate, the more terrifying its power was.


    Lightning Wind Palm was the same and the disciples of the Broken Moon Clan wouldn¡¯t dare to train it. Furthermore, no one wanted to waste this precious chance to gamble on an unknown skill.


    But Zhao Feng dared to!


    Firstly, he had one more chance to enter the Hollow Building.


    Secondly, because no one dared to train this skill, it meant that the power of it was terrifying.


    Zhao Feng had seen the history of the Clan and those legendary figures had always trained those skills that no one else could and finally reach the peak of the tower.


    If Zhao Feng chose a skill that others could train easily as well, then what was the difference between him and them?


    ¡°Are you sure that you¡¯re going to choose Lightning Wind Palm? I¡¯m warning you, this skill is hard to learn and even more dangerous than some High class Mortal skills.¡± The ancient voice sounded.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Feng responded in a strong tone.


    Such tone made the old voice pause. This was the first time that he had seen someone choose such a dangerous skill with such confidence.


    These people could only be described as ¡®arrogant¡¯.


    ¡°Haha, there¡¯s usually 2 results when one trains the Lightning Wind Palm. The first result is that one wasn¡¯t able to reach the peak level and while training, their tendons broke or the lower half of their body becomes useless. The second result is that a prodigy with high comprehension learns it, gets struck by lightning and dies. It¡¯s the latter which is regretful.¡±


    The ancient voice laughed lightly and he didn¡¯t speak anymore.


    2 results: the first was to be unable to reach the peak level, whereas the 2nd was to be struck by lightning and die.


    If it was anyone else, they would feel fear or at least worry, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t listen to the old voice and he merged his consciousness with the jade slip.


    Weng~


    A light appeared from the slip which pulled Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness into a world full of wind and lightning.


    A scenery of a figure appeared, practising a palm skill in the world of wind and lightning.


    The power of the skill became greater and greater before it finally merged with the lightning and crushed a 50 thousand kilogram mountain.


    ¡°What terrifying power!¡±


    Zhao Feng instinctively copied this scene into his mind with his left eye.


    Immediately after, the contents of the skill went into Zhao Feng¡¯s mind bit by bit.


    The jade slip contained contents which could only be viewed once, but because Zhao Feng had copied the entire scene into his left eye, he could comprehend it later on.


    Under the power of arrays, the contents of the Lightning Wind Palm slowly merged into Zhao Feng¡¯s mind and the latter immediately memorised it. He then started to inspect the jade slips as well as the mist with his left eye.


    The misty area that he was in was enveloped by a massive array that had lasted for a thousand years and Zhao Feng was thinking whether or not this array could be broken or were there any flaws?


    He then opened his left eye and an azure light appeared on his eyeball as he surveyed the nearby area.


    Under his enhanced vision mode, picture and lines appeared which constructed an array.


    Copy!


    Zhao Feng copied the structure of the array into his left eye.


    ¡°I¡¯ll study this when I get back.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought as the light from the jade slip in front of him faded. At the same time, the other jade slips in the area all lost their glow.


    Like this, Zhao Feng took the contents of the Lightning Wind Palm as well as the structure of the array out of the Hollow Building.


    Before he left, he heard the old voice¡¯s warning: ¡°The skills of the Hollow Building shall not be spread or else the person¡¯s cultivation shall be crippled. Remember this¡­ ¡±

 132 Lightning Wind Palm

    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother listening to this voice and left the Hollow Building. Right after he left, a laughter containing anger sounded from within the building: ¡°What an arrogant brat¡­ How dare he ignore me¡­ ¡±


    Ever since Zhao Feng entered the Hollow Building, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really listen to the voice and he acted on what he thought was right. So he didn¡¯t put the warnings given by the voice to heart.


    From Zhao Feng¡¯s point of view, one just had to obey the rules of the voice.


    His thought was correct but he didn¡¯t know that the owner of the voice was a big figure in the Clan; even inner disciples were respectful of him.


    ¡°1st Elder, it¡¯s only an idiotic outer disciple, there¡¯s no point wasting time with him.¡± An old man inside the building laughed.


    This person was the elder guarding the Hollow Building, but the 1st Elder had come today to do a routine check. He saw Zhao Feng take a highly dangerous skill, so he warned him in good will, but the latter had ignored him instead.


    ¡°Huh? Outer disciple? If I remember correctly, only the top outer disciple has the right to enter.¡±


    1st Elder was slightly surprised.


    The Clan Creator had created this rule far back and it had continued to this day and the 1st Elder knew the purpose of it.


    The more talented one was, the further they went in the path of cultivation, therefore the Clan placed great importance in talent. But talent wasn¡¯t the only thing that made one go far, so the Creator made this rule to help those without great talent.


    ¡­¡­.


    After returning to his courtyard, Zhao Feng started to comprehend the Lightning Wind Palm in his head.


    Lightning Wind Palm was an offense skill, which was suitable even at the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm. From this point alone, one could tell it was much better than the other Middle class Mortal skills. Zhao Feng had paid special attention to its description which contained the words ¡®Ancient Partial skill¡¯.


    The skills from long ago had differences with the current ones and the old voice had told him that this skill was even harder to learn than some High class Mortal skills. So from Zhao Feng¡¯s analysis, the rank of this skill shouldn¡¯t be as simple as a Middle class Mortal skill¡­


    Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng started to comprehend the scenery of the small figure in the world of lightning and wind who was able to summon lightning.


    ¡°Terrifying!¡±


    Zhao Feng saw the scene and he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    The Lightning Wind Palm was split into 6 levels¡±


    The 1st level: Learner - comprehending the power of wind.


    The 2nd level: Beginner - The lightning and wind aura started to form.


    The 3rd level: Low level - The palm shall contain the sound of lightning and one would find it hard to find a match against those under the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    The 4th level: High level - The ability to numb the opponent, so that their actions will be slowed down.


    The fifth level: Peak level - Using the wind to summon lightning, the power increases dramatically.


    The 6th level: Max level - When there¡¯s a storm, one had a certain chance to summon the 9 Cloud Lightning. Once one succeeded, anyone under the True Spirit Realm shall be destroyed and existences at the True Spirit Realm would be wary.


    ¡­¡­¡­.


    The 6th level should be used when one was at the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm but there was a chance to summon the 9 Clouds Lightning which would make the person¡¯s strength increase by 10 times.


    ¡°The 6th level is just way too crazy. Once one succeeds in summoning the 9 Clouds Lightning, even beings of the True Spirit Realm have to be wary.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart trembled.


    He could confirm that this skill wasn¡¯t a Middle class Mortal skill after coming into contact with it.


    Obviously, even though the 6th level was insane and one¡¯s strength would increase by 10 times the danger involved was a lot as well. The slightest mistake would turn the user into dust.


    The person who had created this skill was insane and those that trained it were crazy as well. But because Zhao Feng had chosen it, he wouldn¡¯t regret doing so. Instead, he would focus and try comprehend it.


    The Lightning Wind Palm used wind to cause lightning, so wind was the base of this skill.


    As for this, Zhao Feng had a good foundation because he had comprehended the first 3 stances of the 4 Wind Stances, which all contained the will and intent of wind.


    As for the last stance Burning Wind Stance, one created fire by using the wind, which made the damage rise by an entire new level.


    With the 4 Wind Stances as a base, Zhao Feng¡¯s succeeded in learning it and he started to work on the 2nd level.


    ¡°Hehehe¡­ it looks like my decision was correct. This skill is suitable for me.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t think that he would be this successful. According to the old voice, Lightning Wind Palm was harder to learn than some High class Mortal skills. And when someone tried to learn the 1st level, they needed at least 1 - 2 months, sometimes even years. But with the 4 Wind Stances as foundation, Zhao Feng had completed it easily, but there was resistance at the 2nd level.


    The 2nd level contained the aura of wind and lightning.


    Zhao Feng had a deep enlightenment of ¡®wind¡¯, but he had no basis for ¡®Lightning¡¯.


    He closed his eyes and the scene of the world of lightning and wind appeared in his mind.


    WIth this picture in his head, Zhao Feng could easily reach the 2nd level and around 2 days later, he had almost fully learnt the 2nd level. But the 3rd level wasn¡¯t going to be comprehended in any time soon.


    He put the remaining time all on the 7 array books that old man Zhang had given him and of the 7, there was only 1 left.


    This last book was the hardest of them all and only with the enlightenment gained from the Illusion Fish Picture was he able to comprehend it and on this day, Zhao Feng finally learnt the 7 books.


    And it was at this time that he realised that today was the deadline.


    ¡°So close!¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath. Because he had learnt and spent some of his time on the Lightning Wind Palm he almost forgot the deal with old man Zhang.


    His current and most important goal right now was to enter the Ascended Realm with his body.


    Zhao Feng ran to the Clan Mission Division and met Vice Head Zhang.


    ¡°You¡¯ve learnt all 7 array books?¡± Vice Head Zhang said full of smiles.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Zhao Feng puffed out.


    Old man Zhang then asked 15 questions. 1 hard and 1 easy question for each book and to answer the last question, one must merge all the contents of the 7 books. Only with his left eye continuously thinking was Zhao Feng able to answer it.


    After Zhao Feng gave his answer, old man Zhang sighed and stared at Zhao Feng like he was a monster.


    ¡°Are you sure you haven¡¯t learnt anything about arrays before?¡± Old man Zhang said, defeated.


    ¡°Does the Illusion Fish Picture count?¡±


    Zhao Feng gave a ¡°Heh heh¡±, old man Guan had asked similar questions before.


    Vice Head Zhang¡¯s cheeks twitched slightly. Back then, he was a genius who could remember everything he saw as well and he had a bit of fame within the 13 Countries. But compared to Zhao Feng¡¯s talent, he thought he was just dog s***.


    ¡°You¡¯ve learnt the basis of arrays. From today onwards, you will go and help protect and give maintenance to the arrays in the Clan. This obviously includes the Energy Gathering Array in the Thousand Leaf Pond¡­ ¡± Old man Zhang said expressionlessly.


    On the same day, Zhao Feng started to come into contact with arrays. The Broken Moon Clan he was at had many arrays that enveloped the whole mountain and as time passed, the power of these arrays weakened or flaws would appear, so they needed maintenance and fixing.


    Zhao Feng followed old man Zhang or some of members of the Clan Mission Division to travel to where the arrays were.


    ¡°The mist from that day at the test was created by an array and the reason why the Floating Crest Palace floats is also because of arrays as well.¡± Zhao Feng started to understand.


    In the world of Clans, there were many places that needed the help of Pill, Arrays and Mechanism masters.


    On this day, Zhao Feng received an order from Vice Head Zhang to go to the Thousand Leaf Pond. Being a member of the Clan Mission Division and old man Zhang¡¯s helper, Zhao Feng came to check if there was anything wrong with the Energy Gathering Array.


    Thinking about how his Silver Wall Technique had started to approach the peak 9th level, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be excited.


    His left eye became sharp and a thin azure glow appeared on it, which allowed him to see the crystal green water.


    Zhao Feng swallowed, but he didn¡¯t make any rash moves.


    Firstly, he was to see if the Energy Gathering Array really had any problems or not. This Energy Gathering Array was created by several cultivators of the True Spirit Realm and the help of array masters, but Zhao Feng had also recorded the structure of the array and with his enhanced vision, he alone could finish the work of several others.


    Over the past few days, Zhao Feng had found many flaws in the arrays of the Clan, he had contributed a lot to the Clan Mission Division and received praise from Vice head Zhang.


    ¡°Hmm, there¡¯s 2 flaws as well as 13 weak points.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and he recorded the numbers down so he could report it back to old man Zhang.


    In just the time it took a cup of tea to be made, Zhao Feng had already completed his task and after that, Zhao Feng licked his lips and took out his token to open the array and enter.But thinking about it, if he entered the Thousand Leaf Pond with his token, the sound created would be a bit big and he was only an outer disciple who didn¡¯t have right to enter.


    Zhao Feng decided to be a bit more low key and he entered the Thousand Leaf Pond through one of the flaws.


    ¡°Wu~¡±


    Zhao Feng soaked his body in the water and he felt a weird cold power spread throughout his body which came from the water.


    He closed his eyes and let his whole body touch the water.


    Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng felt the thumping appear in his left eye again and the rate of which he absorbed energy increased.


    ¡°The effect isn¡¯t as strong as the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but it lasts longer¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his body become stronger and stronger as time passed. Unknowingly, he had almost fell asleep in the pond and had entered a ¡®fake death¡¯ situation similar to when he practised the Withering Wood Technique¡­


    Under this situation, his body relaxed like it had never before, which made the rate at which he absorbed the energy fast.

 133 Beautiful View

    Broken Moon Clan. In the misty mountains, there was a clear azure building with plants of every kind around it.


    ¡°Go Go!¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s expression was dim and he sent the group of birds nearby flying with a wave of his hands.


    His mood wasn¡¯t very good. Ever since Zhao Feng became the top outer disciple, his plan to suppress the disciples of Lord Guanjun became troublesome.


    In terms of strength, Zhao Feng had dominated all the outer disciples and in terms of background, Zhao Feng had two Vice Heads.


    He couldn¡¯t even finish off a few new disciples. This made him lose face amongst the other disciples.


    His 1st and 2nd brother had made more than 1 joke about it.


    Stepping on the broken rocks, Quan Chen¡¯s regained his composure and became respectful as he entered the azure building.


    ¡°Brother Quan, Elder has come out of secluded meditation and he is admiring the flowers inside.¡± A guard said in front of the garden.


    Quan Chen nodded his head, then he took a deep breath and walked inside to the garden.


    Hundreds of flowers were blooming in the hundreds and between the flowers stood a handsome man that seemed to be 20 - 30 years old.


    Who would have thought that this man would be the youngest Elder of the Broken Moon Clan - Hai Yun Master?


    Those that reached the True Spirit Realm could live for 200-300 years. Hai Yun master was the same age as Lord Guanjun, but he had the features of a youth.


    Hai Yun Master wore a robe of pure white and he stood with his hands behind his back. Quan Chen knew that his teacher had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD), so he carefully walked up to him and stood 1 yard away.


    ¡°Master, I need to report to you about Xu Ran¡¯s disciples.¡± Quan Chen said respectfully.


    ¡°Xu Ran? Do you think you really need to report to me about such a little problem?¡±


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s voice was soft, but it was full of coldness, like he was looking down at an ant.


    Quan Chen immediately apologised: ¡°Disciple here is useless and can¡¯t even take care of a few outer disciples.¡±


    After saying that he didn¡¯t say anything more, because he knew that Master didn¡¯t even put the disciples of Lord Guanjun into his eyes. If he kept on speaking, it would only cause his displeasure.


    ¡°Speak.¡±


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s eyebrows raised slightly.


    ¡°Of the 3 disciples, Yang Qingshan has a Middle tier Spiritual Body and Nan Gongfan is between a Low tier and Middle tier Spiritual Body. There¡¯s still a Zhao Feng who had a Low tier Spiritual Body, but he is extremely abnormal¡­ ¡±


    Quan Chen summarised the disciples and then spoke about Zhao Feng, the one that needed attention.


    At the beginning, Hai Yun Master didn¡¯t move nor speak. But as Quan Chen talked about how Zhao Feng was placed of great importance by two Vice Heads, who excelled in pill refining and array creation, his expression changed slightly.


    As for Zhao Feng¡¯s top outer disciple identity, Hai Yun Master didn¡¯t really care.


    After listening to everything Hai Yun Master have a smile: ¡°Hahaha¡­ it¡¯s a good thing for the Broken Moon Clan if Zhao Feng has great talent in array and pill making.¡±


    Ah!


    Quan Chen couldn¡¯t help but be dazed. But thinking about it, those who excelled in arrays and pill making usually didn¡¯t have much battle power. Especially for one like Zhao Feng, with just a Low tier Spiritual Body, it was hard for him to walk far.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about this.Your Master, I, have my own plans. The every 5 year Floating Crest Trial shall open in a few months time. You missed the chance last time, so you must grip this chance this time.¡± Hai Yun Master said.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat, the Floating Crest Trial could change one¡¯s destiny. The trial had something to do with the Floating Crest Palace and all those who passed the trial got great rewards.


    Compared with the Floating Crest Tria,l the disciples of Lord Guanjun were nothing.


    Filled with battle intent as he left the garden, Quan Chen could faintly hear his Master¡¯s voice: ¡°Get Bei Moi¡­ ¡±


    Bei Moi!


    Expressions of helplessness and jealously appeared on Quan Chen¡¯s face.


    Ever since Bei Moi had become Master¡¯s disciple, the latter had put way more of his energy and resources on Bei Moi while the other disciples lost favour.


    ¡­¡­


    Broken Moon Clan, Thousand Leaf Pond.


    Zhao Feng relaxed himself and sank into the pond, even his breathing had almost stopped.


    His left eye gave the occasional thump and it sent out a weird bloodline power which coursed throughout his body.


    Over the past few days, Zhao Feng¡¯s Silver Wall Technique had reached the peak 9th level because he had eaten a few Marrow Cleansing Pills, which greatly increased his attributes.


    At this moment, he had reached the same level of body strengthening as Hou Yuan. But Zhao Feng¡¯s goal was not limited to this.


    In the Thousand Leaf Pond, his bones, blood and skin all went through a subtle change and the inner strength in his dantian reached a higher quality.


    ¡°It looks like the Thousand Leaf Pond also helps inner strength and true force as well.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    Inner strength was the energy created by those at the Consolidated Realm, whereas True Force was made by those at the Ascended Realm and its power was ten times stronger than Inner strength.


    As long as Zhao Feng reached the 10th level of the Silver Wall Technique, he could create Silver Air True Force.


    Time flew by quickly; a whole day had passed and Zhao Feng¡¯s body attributes had increased so much that it exceeded the effects from a Marrow Cleansing Pill.


    Even though the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Pill was strong, it didn¡¯t last as long nor was it as mysterious as the water.


    Zhao Feng realised at night that the Energy Gathering Array seemed to change under the moonlight and a silver layer appeared in the water.


    The element of the mysterious power in the water started to change as well¡­


    ¡°This Energy Gathering Array is quite mysterious. When I become an inner disciple, I can create a much simpler one.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    Obviously, the Energy Gathering Array was only the support, the Thousand Leaf Pond was created by nature and it had existed thousands of years¡­


    The power in the Thousand Leaf Pond changed slightly, but it had a better effect for the body and Zhao Feng maintained his ¡®fake death¡¯ position.


    He estimated that he just needed to soak in the pond a few more times and his Silver Wall Technique would reach the 10th level. But just at this moment, a few sounds appeared even though they were quiet.


    Ceng Ceng!


    Two figures entered through the flaws of the Thousand Leaf Pond and the flaw they just used was the one Zhao Feng had just used.


    ¡° Sister Yuan, will we be found out¡­ ?¡±


    One of them was a girl who had a clear crispy voice.


    ¡°Haha, someone in the Clan Mission Division told me about this flaw and that the Thousand Leaf Pond wasn¡¯t open today.¡±


    The other girl laughed lightly.


    The girl that just spoke was a bit older, maybe 20 years old and she had a beautiful figure.


    The girl next to her was slightly younger, she had crystal eyes and her figure was like a carving.


    The two beauties walked into the Thousand Leaf Pond and surveyed the area.


    The Thousand Leaf Pond was empty and no sign of anyone present.


    ¡°See? I told you there¡¯s no one here.¡± Sister Yuan said confidently.


    ¡°En.¡±


    The shy girl nodded, but she was still slightly against doing something like this.


    Confirming that there was no one here, the two took off their clothes, revealing their perfect bodies and they started to wash themselves in the water.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng, who was tens of yards away, felt the water rippling. Because the pond was protected by the array, the water should be calm and unmoving. But at this time, the water rippled, meaning that there was intruders.


    Zhao Feng recovered from his hibernation and he looked in the direction of the ripples with his left eye.


    Even though they were separated by tens of yards, his left eye could still see clearly. But the next scene made his face red and sped his heart beat up.


    He was afterall, only a 14-15 year old youth and he hadn¡¯t experienced everything.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng was so distracted that he choked on the water and surfaced.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡± Sister Yuan exclaimed and she sent a wave tens of metres high, blocking his view.


    Ceng Ceng!


    The two figures immediately returned to the shore under the cover of the wave and when the wave fell down, Zhao Feng saw two girls who had the uniform of inner disciples.


    One was tall and pretty, while the other was shy.


    No matter where they were put, the figures of the two were top tier and not any weaker than the most beautiful women of Sun Feather City.


    ¡°Which bastard dares to do such shameless acts!?¡±


    Sister Yuan barely managed to cover herself up with her clothes as she coldly looked at Zhao Feng.


    Huang~~


    A surge of mental energy crushed towards Zhao Feng like a mountain.


    Her cultivation was even stronger than Quan Chen, who was at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    The other beauty was full of anger and shyness as she hid behind sister Yuan.


    ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand¡­ I was just here cultivating¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng said urgently with a red face.


    This situation made him dumbfounded.


    Sister Yuan was also surprised. the youth in front of her seemed only 14-15 years old and he didn¡¯t seem like a shameless bastard.


    ¡°Turn around and close your eyes.¡± Sister Yuan coldly ordered.


    Under the powerful mental energy, Zhao Feng soon calmed down and turned around and closed his eyes like he was ordered to. He knew that he had no strength to resist at all.


    Turning around, he heard the sound of the two putting on the clothes.


    ¡°Turn around!¡±


    Sister Yuan stood next to the pond, but the coldness in her voice hadn¡¯t faded away.


    Zhao Feng turned around expressionlessly and his heart still fluttered when he saw the faces of the two beauties.


    Sister Yuan stood in front, while the other girl hid behind her and only showed half her face.


    ¡°Hmph! Such a young age and already peeking at girls taking baths. If you don¡¯t give an explanation today, I¡¯ll punish you!¡±


    Sister Yuan¡¯s face was cold as she decided to scare the youth in front of her, but she realised that the youth was staring at her with a dazed face.


    She became even angrier, how could someone at such a young age be so lustful?


    However, she soon realised that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t looking at her, but the person behind her.


    ¡°It¡¯s you¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng exclaimed as he looked at the shy girl behind Sister Yuan.

 134 Ran Xiaoyuan

    ¡°It¡¯s you¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng exclaimed as he stared at the girl behind sister Yuan with excitement.


    He was dazed and it seemed like the partner in his dreams had finally appeared.


    His expression in Sister Yuan¡¯s eyes was ¡®lust¡¯ and she became even angrier. ¡®So this brat wasn¡¯t looking at me, but the person behind me.¡¯


    At this moment, a wave appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart. The girl behind Sister Yuan was so familiar.


    She had appeared in his mind hundreds and thousands of times because he wanted to comprehend the Mysterious Wind Palm.


    She was the shy girl at the canyon that day. The happiness couldn¡¯t be described after seeing someone in reality that had appeared in his mind for thousands of times.


    Even Zhao Feng had lost his composure.


    ¡°Sister Ran, do you know him?¡± Sister Yuan looked at the girl behind her with suspicion and excitement.


    Could sister Ran have a relationship with a guy? Being her best friend, how could she be left out?


    ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know him.¡±


    Sister Ran¡¯s face was red as she inspected Zhao Feng, but she shook her head.


    Seeing her innocent look, Sister Yuan was certain that sister Ran didn¡¯t know Zhao Feng because she knew that sister Ran wouldn¡¯t lie to her.


    Furthermore, with Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation, he should only be an outer disciple and he wouldn¡¯t have any connections with inner disciples.


    ¡°Brat! Don¡¯t think too much! You must be one of her followers, but you must be punished for committing such a shameful act¡­ ¡±


    Sister Yuan started to say righteously,, but seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes dim down she started to regret being so angry.


    Sister Yuan thought that Zhao Feng was a playful boy because he was so young. If it was anyone else, they would¡¯ve probably been dead by now.


    Zhao Feng regained his composure and he knew that they didn¡¯t know him, but he still couldn¡¯t hold the excitement in his heart.


    Back then, the 3 people had stunned him and now he had met the girl again.


    ¡°May I ask for your name?¡±


    Zhao Feng still couldn¡¯t help but want to know her name.


    Sister Yuan¡¯s temper went up even more. She suddenly realised that the youth in front of her became calm like his age had suddenly increased because such calmness wasn¡¯t someone of this age had.


    ¡°I¡­ ¡±


    Sister Ran¡¯s face went red as she was about to reply, but she was stopped by Sister Yuan.


    ¡°Sister Ran, this kid doesn¡¯t have anything good in his mind. This can be seen by his shameless act just then.¡±


    Sister Yuan pulled sister Ran over to the side and coldly faced Zhao Feng.


    Because Zhao Feng had ¡®ignored¡¯ her, she decided to punish him. But before she could say anything, Zhao Feng said coldly: ¡°Sister, I believe that the Thousand Leaf Pond isn¡¯t open today, so how did you come in? If you don¡¯t give me a valid explanation, I shall report this to the Clan.¡±


    Hearing this, the expression of the two girls changed, especially sister Ran who immediately panicked.


    The Thousand Leaf Pond was a sacred ground of the Clan and without approval, even inner disciples weren¡¯t allowed to enter.


    ¡°Then how did you enter?¡± Sister Yuan¡¯s attitude was still hard.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng withdrew a token and looked sharply at Sister Yuan.


    ¡°Clan Mission Token!¡±


    Sister Yuan finally panicked under the youth¡¯s gaze.


    She realised that the youth in front of her had a special identity or else he wouldn¡¯t have the Clan Mission Token to enter the Thousand Leaf Pond.


    ¡°I¡¯m under orders from Vice head Zhang to come check the weak points and flaws of the arrays, but there were two people who had sneaked in. Do you know your sin?¡±


    Up to the end, Zhao Feng was shouting. His left eye activated and became sharp. It was like he could see the opponents secrets.


    The two girls looked at each other guiltily.


    Zhao Feng had a reason to enter the Thousand Leaf Pond and they had entered the pond through the flaws of the array.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng had become the questioner from being questioning. All he needed to do was activate the array and the nearby Clan Mission Division members would arrive.


    ¡°Hmph, then how about you peeking at us?¡±


    How could sister Yuan admit defeat?


    Thinking about her fame in the inner disciples, she couldn¡¯t lose to an outer disciple.


    ¡°Peeking? Who came first?¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed. At this moment, he didn¡¯t seem like a pure, innocent youth anymore.


    ¡°You¡­ ¡±


    Sister Yuan was speechless.


    Indeed, Zhao Feng had arrived before them and the two had come in secret.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, it¡¯s our fault¡­ Please don¡¯t¡­ ¡± Sister Ran¡¯s eyes were red as she begged.


    Seeing her innocent and sad look, Zhao Feng obviously wouldn¡¯t tell on them.


    At this moment, Sister Yuan was also silent like she knew the opponent had the ability to threaten her.


    ¡°Oh well, I won¡¯t go further because of sister Ran.¡± Zhao Feng took back his token.


    An expression of ¡®just like I expected¡¯ appeared on Sister Yuan¡¯s face: ¡°Kid, an outer disciple like you won¡¯t be able to catch sister Ran.¡±


    Sister Ran¡¯s face was as red as blood as she lowered her head and sneakily glanced at Zhao Feng from the corner of her eye. But she didn¡¯t say anything.


    ¡°You guys should go. If you¡¯re found by Deacons or other members of the Clan Mission Division. I can¡¯t save you.¡± Zhao Feng said expressionlessly as he lowered his body back into the Thousand Leaf Pond.


    Seeing his reaction, Sister Yuan was slightly disappointed. But thinking about it, she couldn¡¯t help but feel sorry for Zhao Feng. He was only a lowly outer disciple and he might not become an inner disciple in his whole life.


    Because Sister Ran hadn¡¯t seen him before, it meant that this youth¡¯s love was one sided.


    Sister Yuan sighed and pulled sister Ran and walked out of the array.


    Sending the two away with his eyes, Zhao Feng let out a long breath and wiped his cold sweat.


    With Sisters Yuan¡¯s strength, she could easily teach him a lesson. Even Lord Guanjun wouldn¡¯t be able to exchange one move with her.


    As the two exited the array, a shy, quiet voice sounded: ¡°My name is Ran Xiaoyuan, thank you!¡±


    Zhao Feng paused and saw a shy face smile near him before it couldn¡¯t avoided his gaze.


    Ran Xiaoyuan?


    En, it¡¯s a nice name but Zhao Feng murmured: ¡°It should be me thanking you instead.¡±


    The Mysterious Wind Palm had given a lot of help and through his practises, he had fully remembered how the girl looked and he had wanted to meet and thank her many times.


    Now that he had met Ran Xiaoyuan, Zhao Feng felt like he owed her a favour.


    After the two left, Zhao Feng once again sank into the Thousand Leaf Pond and he began to silently cultivate the Silver Wall Technique and absorb the mysterious energy in the water.


    Only till late night did Zhao Feng return to the Clan Mission Division and hand back his report of where parts of the array were weak.


    Returning back to his courtyard, Zhao Feng started to cultivate once again.


    On the second morning, Zhao Feng found that his Silver Wall Technique was half a step away from the 10th level of the Silver Wall Technique.


    His body was at the half-step Ascended Realm and just with his muscles alone, he could beat normal cultivators at the half-step Ascended Realms.


    ¡°I should be able to challenge some at the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng cracked a smile. But the 10th level, even though it was only half a step away, it was still hard to reach.


    However, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t in any rush. From his point of view, he could become an inner disciple in half a month if he wanted to, but he first wanted to gather a bit more strength.


    ¡°If I become an inner disciple, the feud between Quan Chen and I will be exposed and I will also enter Hai Yun Master¡¯s line of sight.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    Therefore, he should gather more strength with the advantage he had now.


    Calculating the time, Zhao Feng realised that the 10 days he was supposed to stay at the Clan Mission Division had finished.


    Because of the argument between old man Zhang and old man Guan, Zhao Feng stayed at the Grass-Wood Division and Clan Mission Division 10 days respectively.


    Zhao Feng had done this now, but both old man Zhang and old man Guan didn¡¯t come find him for the next few days. Zhao Feng started to train Silver Wall Technique and Lightning Wind Palm and he sneaked to the Thousand Leaf Pond when he had extra time. But not many days had passed before Zhao Feng received challenges from Xiao Sun and Jiang Yuyan.


    One only had one chance to challenge a substitute inner disciple every 6 months. But for those disciples who had already reached the top 20, there was no limit.


    Everyone knew that the top outer disciples had a great benefit and Xiao Sun was extremely expectant of being able to enter the Hollow Building before he became an inner disciple.


    In reality, with his High tier Spiritual Body and relationship between the Xiao family and the Clan, Xiao Sun was completely able to be like Liu Yue¡¯er and Sun Yuanhao and become an inner disciple straight away.


    The reason that he didn¡¯t become one was due to one point: becoming the top outer disciple and now Xiao Sun¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak half-step Ascended Realm. The slightest mistake would cause him to break through to the Ascended Realm.


    3 days later.


    Zhao Feng fought Xiao Sun and Jiang Yuyan.


    Xiao Sun was now ranked 4th and his Blazing Sun Manual had improved greatly. He was looking forward to battling Zhao Feng, but the result was the same. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even use his Lightning Wind Palm... With Silver Wall Technique, Star Finger and the 4 Wind Stances alone, Xiao Sun was easily defeated.


    Jiang Yuyan wasn¡¯t any better, she managed to exchange tens of blows before losing to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°His strength now isn¡¯t any weaker than Lin Fan, when the latter was the top outer disciple.¡±


    Jiang Yuyan gave up.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s position as top outer disciple couldn¡¯t be moved.

 135 Ascension

    After beating Jiang Yuyan and Xiao Sun, Zhao Feng had a feeling of loneliness.


    At this moment in time, he felt that his Silver Wall Technique was incredibly close to the 10th level and he needed 6 - 15 days at most before it would break through.


    Inside the dimension of his left eye, the azure glow had extended to 9 foot 9 and it seemed to reach a limit.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know what would happen when the light surpassed 9 foot 9.


    Before Zhao Feng got to even rest for half a day, two guests came.


    ¡°Vice Head Guan, Vice Head Zhang, why are the both of you here?¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised. Two Vice Heads had come at the same time to his small courtyard.


    He immediately ushered the two in and thought whether or not the two had ¡®settled it out¡¯.


    But out of expectations the two were both quiet and they didn¡¯t even argue at all. All they did was stare at Zhao Feng and sigh.


    ¡°What¡¯s happened¡­ ?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the situation was weird. Both old man Zhang and old man Guan should¡¯ve fought over his talent.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we¡¯ve come to a decision regarding you taking a Master.¡± Vice Head Guan said solemnly.


    They came to a decision?


    Zhao Feng cried out in his heart. Even though he was interested in both pill making and arrays, that wasn¡¯t the path he wanted to walk.


    Old man Zhang coughed: ¡°It¡¯s like this. Through our testing, we¡¯ve decided that your talent is too good to be our disciples.¡±


    Ah!


    Zhao Feng looked in disbelief at the two.


    Vice Head Zhang and Vice Head Guan looked at each other and smiled as if they had done a huge thing.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you might be surprised but this is the truth. You are the best pill refining genius I have ever seen and with your abilities, you would only need 1 - 2 years to learn everything I have to give you.¡± Old man Guan sighed and shook his head helplessly.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! We¡¯re not good enough to be your teacher. We can recommend you to the best array master ¡®Gong Chenqingshan¡¯ of the Sky Rich Country . Only if you¡¯re able to be his disciple will your talent be fully used.¡± Old man Zhang said helplessly and bitterly.


    Vice Head Guan also recommended a pill master from the Metal Blood Country.


    The two hadn¡¯t reached the true master level, they were just proficient in arrays and pills.


    Zhao Feng knew that both Sky Rich Country and the Metal Blood Country were 10 times better than the Cloud Country and the Clans in their country were far stronger than the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°Teachers, thank you for your good intentions but I don¡¯t want to walk down the path of arrays or pills.¡±


    Zhao Feng took in a deep breath and bowed deeply to the two Vice Heads.


    At this moment, he finally spoke his true thoughts.


    ¡°You¡¯re calling us teacher?¡±


    Old man Guan was excited while old man Zhang was also smug.


    Even though Zhao Feng didn¡¯t formally take them as masters, the ¡®teacher¡¯ he called still showed his gratitude and thanks.


    No matter how high Zhao Feng reached or who he took in as his master, he would still call the two ¡®teacher¡¯.


    From the two Vice Head¡¯s point of view, even if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t work hard, he would still become a pill master or array master or maybe even both.


    So Zhao Feng calling ¡®teacher¡¯ satisfied them.


    After this, Zhao Feng faced the two¡¯s persuasion. They tried to get Zhao Feng to walk on the ¡®correct¡¯ path and told him he could study both if he wanted.


    But Zhao Feng had rejected them in the end and still chose to walk down the path of cultivation.


    ¡°If you want to walk down the road of cultivation, you must not miss the Floating Crest Trial in a few months.¡± Old man Guan¡¯s words suddenly came to a turn.


    Floating Crest Trial?


    Zhao Feng immediately connected it with the most mysterious building of the Broken Moon Clan ¡®Floating Crest Palace¡¯ and he looked at the building floating in the air amongst a sea of lightning with his left eye.


    ¡°The Floating Crest Trial appears only once every 5 years and is a turning point in one¡¯s life. If you¡¯re not able to become an inner disciple or enter the Floating Crest Trial, it means the path of cultivation isn¡¯t for you.¡±


    Vice Head Zhang smiled.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but think about the two¡¯s words. He started to realise that the Floating Crest Trial was something of great importance, but only a small number of inner disciples were able to participate.


    Zhao Feng then got a lot of information from the two Vice Heads about the Floating Crest Trial.


    Firstly, the Floating Crest Trial was a chance to enter the Floating Crest Palace and gain items from there, which would help one greatly.


    Secondly, the disciples that performed great in the Floating Crest Trial would be placed of great importance by the Clan.


    In the Broken Moon Clan, almost all the people who had reached the True Spirit Realm had performed superbly in the Floating Crest Trial.


    For example, Hai Yun Master was the one who performed the best in the past 100 years.


    ¡­¡­.


    The meaning of the two Vice Heads was clear. If Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t able to enter the Floating Crest Trial, it meant that his luck was limited so he should rather go learn pills refining and arrays.


    In the world of Clans. many believed in ¡®luck¡¯, this was why the two had said this. Even Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t ignore ¡®luck¡¯, the unseeable, unfeelable, untouchable thing.


    If he didn¡¯t have the mysterious left eye, he wouldn¡¯t have walked this far.


    ¡°Hehe, if I¡¯m able to successfully attend the Floating Crest Trial, I presume that the two won¡¯t stop me from walking down the road of cultivation?¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    The two Vice Heads laughed and shook their heads as they heard this.


    ¡°There¡¯s still 2-3 months before the trial and it¡¯s unknown whether or not you¡¯ll even become an inner disciple then. Furthermore, there¡¯s a limited number of places. And without reaching the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm, it¡¯ll be hard to even get a spot.¡± Old man Guan explained.


    Old man Zhang then added: ¡°If you¡¯re able to attend the trial, then we¡¯ll have nothing to say.¡±


    ¡°Deal!¡±


    Zhao Feng came to an agreement with the two.


    If Zhao Feng was able to attend the trial, then the two Vice Heads won¡¯t stop or persuade him from walking down the path of cultivation. But if Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t able to attend, then he would have to consider the suggestion given by the two.


    With such an agreement, the two Vice Heads laughed and left Zhao Feng¡¯s place confidently.


    ¡°Is the competition that fierce?¡±


    Zhao Feng sent the two confident old men away with his eyes.


    Now that the problem had been solved, Zhao Feng focused solely on cultivating. But he wanted to increase his strength before he became an inner disciple.


    Lightning Wind Palm, Silver Wall Technique, Burning Wind Stance, Illusion Fish Picture¡­ These were what Zhao Feng focused mainly on.


    3 days later, Xiao Sun broke through to the Ascended Realm and became an inner disciple.


    According to the rules, as long as one reached the Ascended Realm before 30 years old, they would automatically become an inner disciple and they were not allowed to fight with the substitute inner disciples.


    Xiao Sun was helpless as well, with his talent and background, it wasn¡¯t hard for him to become an inner disciple straight away. But he wanted to be 1st amongst the outer disciples.


    Another few days late.


    Princess Yun Mengxiang also broke through to the Ascended Realm and became an inner disciple.


    Both Yun Mengxiang and Xiao Sun had good talent and background amongst the outer disciples.


    Before Yun Mengxiang left, she came to say goodbye to Zhao Feng: ¡°Pill master Zhao Feng, I¡¯ll be waiting for you to become an inner disciple.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s response made Yun Mengxiang slightly surprised.


    Xiao Sun and Yun Mengxiang had a higher starting point, talent and background.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t reached the Ascended Realm yet, Yun Mengxiang thought that it was because he was restricted by his talent.


    How would she know that Zhao Feng was aiming to enter the Ascended Realm with his body or else he probably would¡¯ve broke through even earlier than Xiao Sun?


    In the days that Xiao Sun and Yun Mengxiang broke through, Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wind Palm had reached the 3rd level, which was the low level.


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng had comprehended 70-80% of the Burning Wind Stance and its power was at least double of the Partial Wind Stance.


    While Zhao Feng was gathering his strength, there were a few rumours.


    ¡°The most talented outer disciples of the new batch have already become inner disciples.¡±


    ¡°Even though Zhao Feng is 1st, he¡¯s limited by his talent.¡±


    ¡­¡­¡­.


    Zhao Feng calmly cultivated and didn¡¯t bother with what the other¡¯s said. When he was free, he would occasionally create a few batches of Marrow Cleansing Pills and Broken Moon Breath Returning Pills and earn some substandard primal crystal stones.¡±


    Apart from that, Zhao Feng also left Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan a Marrow Cleansing Pill each.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, why aren¡¯t you using this Marrow Cleansing Pill to try and break through to the Ascended Realm?¡±


    Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan were guilty and grateful at the same time.


    ¡°I don¡¯t need it anymore.¡± Zhao Feng smiled, he had a few Marrow Cleansing Pills as back up but now¡­


    Zhao Feng returned to his courtyard and he sat crossed legged. But he didn¡¯t focus on cultivating, he still circulated his Silver Wall Technique.


    Weng~~


    A sizzle of silver was created and sent off an aura that was tens of times stronger than Inner strength.


    ¡°The Silver Air True Force has finally been condensed.¡±


    While Zhao Feng breathed, he sent off an aura similar to a Lord tier deadly beast, causing the hearts of nearby substitute inner disciples to turn cold. At this moment, every action Zhao Feng made sent off the aura of the Holy martial path.


    Because he had entered the Ascended Realm with his body, the True Force came from his flesh. If it was a normal cultivator, the True Force would come from their dantian and the Force would condense repetitively.


    The moment Zhao Feng reached the Ascended Realm with his body, he felt the rate of thumping in his eye increase.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! ¡­


    The 9 foot 9 spinning azure light in his left eye stopped moving.


    Weng~


    The glow of light suddenly molded together and began to mutate¡­

 136 Awakening 1

    This was the first time that such a situation had appeared in the dimension of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye. The 9 foot 9 glow of light didn¡¯t expand any further. Instead, it merged together and condensed.


    ¡°Sii!¡±


    Zhao Feng groaned in pain and he clutched his left eye as he fell down to the ground with a ¡®plop¡¯.


    The pain from his left eye went straight to his soul.


    In just a moments time, Zhao Feng was covered in cold sweat.


    Only till half an hour later did the pain start to fade away.


    Zhao Feng merged his consciousness into the dimension in his left eye and he found a patch of pure azure light. The azure wasn¡¯t as faint anymore, and it was eye catching.


    The azure bundle of light kept on twisting and it seemed to be nurturing something.


    Zhao Feng opened his hand and found that there was blood. Taking out the mirror, he saw that the depths of his left eye had turned green.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be too weird¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng prayed.


    The change in his left eye couldn¡¯t be controlled by him, all he could do was circulate his Silver Air True Force.


    True Force was a power that far exceeded Inner strength, the smallest wisp of True Force could instantly destroy the Inner strength of any cultivator at the Consolidated Realm.


    While Zhao Feng was slowly circulating his True Force, he was also paying attention to the Returning Breath Inner strength in his dantian.


    The Returning Breath Inner strength had also reached a limit and half of it belonged to Inner strength while the other half was True Force.


    Inner strength was more of an aura, whereas True Force could be seen. At this moment, the Returning Breath Inner strength in Zhao Feng¡¯s dantian started to change to True Force.


    He knew that after one¡¯s body reached the Ascended Realm, the cultivator¡¯s attributes would rise and their Inner strength would turn into True Force.


    To increase the rate at which it was changing, Zhao Feng merged a bit of his Silver Air True Force into his Inner strength. If normal Inner strength met a situation like this, it would be destroyed. But the Returning Breath Inner strength merged well with anything and the quantity of True Force had already exceeded the quantity of Inner strength.


    Within Zhao Feng¡¯s dantian, his Returning Breath Inner strength was being refined to a higher level and it was becoming better in quantity.


    Spending a full days time, the Inner strength he had decreased by half in quantity but the Inner strength had now turned to True Force.


    This meant that there was two types of True Force in Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    One came from his body strengthening technique - Silver Air True Force, and the other came from his Returning Breath Technique - Returning Breath True Force.


    Zhao Feng had reached the Ascended Realm in both body and Inner strength. With this situation, it meant that he had twice the quantity of True Force compared with others who had just entered the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll need a new Force skill now.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    It was already lucky that Returning Breath Technique could reach the Ascended Realm as it was only a half Mortal Skill, while Silver Wall Technique was a mortal body strengthening technique which could be trained to the 11th level.


    Zhao Feng estimated that he wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the 11th level any time soon. The 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique wasn¡¯t anywhere in sight either.


    ¡­¡­.


    On the second morning, Zhao Feng took out his mirror and he was shocked by what he saw.


    His left eyeball had turned fully azure like a demon.


    That wasn¡¯t all, his black hair had turned azure as well.


    ¡°This¡­ I won¡¯t become a monster right?¡± Zhao Feng felt cold at the thought.


    He could accept his hair turning azure because in the human world, people had different colored hair as they could be dyed.


    But what he was worried about was the azure eyeball.


    Zhao Feng prayed that it would return to its original color, but no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn¡¯t go back.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng took out a black ribbon and put it over his left eye.


    ¡°That¡¯s a little better¡­ ¡°


    Zhao Feng saw his reflection in the mirror and he seemed menacing with one eye but his patch of azure hair seemed cool.


    If he didn¡¯t take off the black ribbon, his appearance could be accepted.


    Peng! Peng¡­ !


    Zhao Feng felt the depths of his left eye jump and the azure ball of light in the dimension seemed to be nurturing something.


    Instinct told Zhao Feng that his left eye would still go through further changes and no one knew whether or not he would be killed by the Clan for being a monster.


    ¡°No! I can¡¯t stay here and wait to die. It¡¯s better if I find a calm and quiet place to stay.¡±


    Zhao Feng made the decision to leave his courtyard.


    He walked quickly and didn¡¯t bother talking to anyone.


    ¡°What a terrifying aura! Has Zhao Feng reached the Ascended Realm?¡±


    ¡°His hair¡¯s turned azure and he has an eyepatch! Does he have to so menacing!?¡±


    The nearby outer disciples could all feel that aura radiating off him. Truthfully, the moment Zhao Feng broke through to the Ascended Realm, the nearby substitute inner disciples already felt it.


    ¡°To reach the Ascended Realm with his body¡­ He managed to do it!!¡±


    Hou Yuan also came over and his heart trembled when he saw Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng right now could probably even fend off cultivators at the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm with just his body.


    Teng! Teng¡­ !


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure lept into the air and disappeared into a canyon where no one lived.


    After a while, he found a cave and to stop anyone from following him, he took off the ribbon and surveyed the area with his left eye to see if there was anyone around.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath and he lay on the ground while waiting for his left eye to change.


    Half an hour later.


    Peng! Peng! Peng¡­ !


    The thumping from his left eye became faster and faster.


    The ball of azure light in the dimension of his left eye suddenly became a whirlpool and it started to spin from inside out.


    ¡°Ahhhhhh¡­ ¡±


    Blood leaked out of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye as he screamed with pain and twisted on the ground.


    It was lucky that no one was around or else the whole Clan would have probably heard him.


    Zhao Feng felt his left eye was like a limitless hole sucking his blood. If this process lasted 30 breaths, he would die but luckily, the process only lasted 10 breaths.


    Finally.


    The change in his left eye stabilised and in the pitch black dimension, an azure light appeared and it began to spin slowly.


    The closer one reached the middle, the stronger feeling of an ancient feeling appeared.


    Next, a line of almost unseeable faint green liquid leaked out of his left eye and it merged with Zhao Feng¡¯s body, organs and limbs.


    ¡°This¡­ Could it be blood!?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his blood begin to boil like he was inheriting something.


    It was an indescribable feeling, but Zhao Feng was certain that the change he had gained from this was even greater than reaching the Ascended Realm.


    After lasting a few breaths, the left eye suddenly stopped giving anything.


    Zhao Feng let out a breath and the thumping and jumping in his left eye began to slow down.


    ¡°Has it ended?¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured, but instinct told him it wasn¡¯t this simple. He instinctively tried to open his left eye but he found that his eyelid became heavy and spending all his energy, the left eyelid would only rise a little bit.


    It was a queer feeling like the eye didn¡¯t belong to him.


    How is this possible!?


    Zhao Feng started to get irritated, he didn¡¯t want to become one eyed and lose his mysterious left eye.


    Open!


    Opennnnnn!


    Zhao Feng spent all his energy and all the eyelid did was flutter a little.


    At last, he fully circulated Silver Wall Technique and used all the energy he had in his body.


    Weng!


    A faint line of green blood appeared in his red blood and Zhao Feng felt his attributes rise.


    His Silver Air True Force and Returning Breath True Force had both increased as well.


    He exuded a dominating aura like he had exceeded the limit of humanity.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was suspicious as to whether he was human or not.


    ¡°Open¡­ I order you to open!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed and under the rise in power from his faint green blood, the eye opened for 1 breath.


    When the azure eye fully opened, Zhao Feng felt the heavens shake.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know whether it was him shaking or it was the heavens shaking, but he still continued to open his eye. He was scared that if he couldn¡¯t fully open it this time, there wouldn¡¯t be a chance anymore.


    Every bit his eye opened, he felt the heavens tremble even more.


    It seemed like the trembling came from the space itself, but when Zhao Feng saw the disciples of the Clan far away, it seemed they hadn¡¯t noticed it at all.


    Could it just be himself?


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that while he was opening his eye, all the cultivators of the Broken Moon Clan that were at the True Spirit Realm or higher felt their hearts tremble.


    Inside a green building.


    ¡°Wah!¡±


    A handsome, white robed man suddenly spat a mouthful of blood and woke from his secluded meditation.


    ¡°What the hell is going on?¡±


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s face was pale white and his heart couldn¡¯t help but tremble. It was a feeling from the bottom of his soul and blood.


    At the same time.


    Every cultivator at the True Spirit Realm and higher in the Azure Continent felt their soul and blood shake.


    The higher one¡¯s cultivation was, the stronger the feeling was and those in secluded meditation all spat a mouthful of blood.


    Only till a sudden moment did the trembling fade away and this moment was when Zhao Feng fully opened his left eye.


    Huang~~~~~


    Zhao Feng felt his head shake and a transparent light shot out of the depths of his azure eye.


    The line of transparent light seemed to shoot past the mountains and through the Broken Moon Clan and disappear into the white clouds above.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t describe the transparent light, it was like it had the power to see through anything and everything in the world.

 137 Awakening 2

    The line of transparent light was like a light of God that instantly shot through the heavens!


    However, the members of the Broken Moon Clan didn¡¯t see or feel the light. Only those at the True Spirit Realm or higher felt the air tremble but it was more of an illusion.


    There was only a limited number of people in the Azure Continent that felt the change in the skies.


    Western Continent.


    An enormous ancient palace.


    Huang~


    An ancient hundred yard stone started to ring in the depths of the hall. The stone seemed to be from the ancient era because even anyone at the True Spirit Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to scratch it. But at this moment, it was cracking.


    ¡°Not good! The Heavenly Primal Stone is breaking!¡±


    ¡°Why would it break without reason? Could there be misfortune coming?¡±


    Chaos broke out nearby.


    Qiu!


    A ray of light swept through the air and landed in front of the Heavenly Primal Stone.


    ¡°Lord, what just happened!?¡±


    Tens of powerful aura flew towards the Heavenly Primal Stone.


    In front of the stone, a figure in purple slowly extended his hand and merged it with the Heavenly Primal Stone.


    Weng!


    The stone trembled and a few weird words appeared on the surface of the stone. The words were extremely complicated and they kept on changing.


    The purple figure started to struggle as well. A terrifying aura swept out and the nearby tens of cultivators of the True Spirit Realm looked at their Lord in fear.


    As time passed, more and more people of the Clan arrived. But the Lord in front of the Heavenly Primal Stone pressured them so hard that they couldn¡¯t breath.


    ¡°What is the meaning of the Heavenly Primal Stone cracking? Even our Lord at the Origin Core Realm came!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s cultivators at the Origin Core Realm that still exist in this continent!¡±


    After a long time, their Lord slowly loosened his grip.


    ¡°Only 2 words could be recognised from the Heavenly Primal Stone.¡± The Lord said softly.


    ¡°Which two?¡± The high level people of the Clan asked.


    Their Lord suddenly glanced up at the sky and he saw an Eye of Heaven coldly looking down. It looked an illusion.


    ¡°God¡¯s Eye.¡± Their Lord managed to speak out as a streak of blood appeared from his lips.


    ¡­..


    A long, long place far away in the galaxy.


    A fearsome palace.


    Roar!


    9 Dragons howled in the palace and the ¡®King¡¯ looked at the sky. In the sky, the clouds kept on turning.


    ¡°What does this mean?¡± The King looked coldly upwards and he ordered his dragons to move the clouds aside.


    ¡°This is the first time that this has happened since the empire was created.¡± An old man full of wrinkles and white hair looked up at the sky.


    ¡°Where?¡± The dominant voice sounded.


    ¡°Maybe nearby.¡± The old man answered uncertainly.


    At this moment in time, all the cultivators in high realms glanced at the heavens.


    The dragons were finally able to push the clouds blocking the sky away and an Eye of Heaven appeared as it looked coldly at the planet.


    ¡°What does this mean?¡± All the cultivators exclaimed.


    ¡°God¡¯s Eye! It¡¯s a God¡¯s Eye that¡¯s never been seen before!¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem to be one of the 8 Great God¡¯s Eye, but it is still frightening.¡±


    The cultivators discussed and broke into chaos.


    Only the King and white haired old man were silent as they stared at the Eye of Heaven in the sky.


    After a long time ,the white haired old man waved his staff into the air and 9 snakes charge at the sky, but they faded away as they reached the Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°Heaven has finally opened his eye!¡± The old man cried as the Eye of Heaven slowly faded into nothing.


    ¡­¡­¡­.


    In the blurry grey sea, a menacing black cruise boat floated.


    The black cruise was gigantic and the beings below it felt like it was night.


    At this moment, every existence was bowing down to the figure of the ruler. There was no light around the person, like it had all been absorbed.


    The dark figure stood at the head of the cruise and looked at the limitless sea.


    Weng~


    The grey sea suddenly trembled and an Eye of Heaven appeared in the sky.


    Apart from the dark figure, the other existences all trembled in fear.


    The ruler opened his pair of black eyes and glanced coldly at the Eye of Heaven. After a while, the Eye of Heaven slowly faded away, like it was just looking at the view.


    ¡°There¡¯s an extra God¡¯s Eye now. Summing up to a total of 9. What does this all mean? Maybe the current situation of the 8 Great God¡¯s Eye shall be broken¡­ ¡±


    The pitch black eyes of the ruler faded away and the skies turned dark once again.


    ¡­¡­.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know how much he had affected the world when he had opened his eye.


    The only thing that he could confirm was that the true power of his left eye was starting to awaken. When he had opened his eye, a ancient power shot out of his eye. Zhao Feng was slightly regretful because he could feel how strong that power was, but it didn¡¯t seem like he could control it.


    ¡°The Ancient is broken, and the Ancient Gods slain will turn into a trillion dust¡­ Continue my bloodline and rule the world¡­ ¡± A voice echoed in his mind.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but rub his left eye. After the change, it obviously became stronger, like it was a living being.


    He tried closing his eye then opening it again, but no mysterious transparent light appeared. Zhao Feng could still feel the azure blood in his body.


    He didn¡¯t know what effect it had right now but one thing could be confirmed, it could strengthen him. After making sure that he was fine, Zhao Feng carefully walked out of the cave.


    He then took out the mirror again.


    His hair was still azure, but his left eye had gone a transparent azure color, like it was a treasure.


    ¡°No!¡±


    Zhao Feng was still worried that he could be captured by the Clan for being a monster.


    He then tried several different ways to change its color.


    One thousand years later, Zhao Feng would remember this and laugh¡­


    A while later, he finally found a way.


    The azure blood he controlled could merge with his left eye and envelope it. When it did, the azure light in the pitch black dimension had been separated from his left eye.


    Zhao Feng took out his mirror and the left eye had turned black, but it was dim and dark. At the same time, his left eye also lost vision.


    Zhao Feng could use the azure blood to change the color of his left eye, but it spent so much energy to do so. He could only manage a few hours a day.


    ¡°At least there¡¯s a way.¡± Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    He then tested out the power of his left eye. Without a doubt, the power in his left eye increased greatly after he had stepped into the Ascended Realm.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s vision, reaction speed and perception all got better. For example, Zhao Feng could see up to 100 miles away and Zhao Feng found that his left eye could see through things. His eye could see through the rock nearby.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to believe that my eye can see through rock.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt like he was a monster, but he felt that this wasn¡¯t the true change in his eye.


    Right at this moment, a bird flew through the canyon past Zhao Feng¡¯s head.


    Hm?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pupil contracted as he looked coldly at the bird flying in the air.


    At that moment, his left eye sent a surge of mental energy which condensed into a straight line that headed towards the bird.


    Plop!


    The bird screeched midair due to fear, it lost its balance and fell to the ground.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye didn¡¯t kill the bird, it had released an indescribable wave of mental energy, which had made the bird panic and lose control of its body.


    ¡°Killing without a trace. This could decide the final outcome in a life and death battle.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    He tested out all the new effects until he felt tired. Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t fully controlled the new skills such as the Mental Energy Assassination.


    Just as the sun was about to set.


    Zhao Feng hurriedly covered his left eye with a piece of ribbon, then he headed towards the Outer Hall Division with his azure hair flying in the wind.


    Teng! Teng! Teng¡­ !


    His figure lept in the air, passing tens of yards in one breath.


    Zhao Feng circulated all his True Force and he tried to control the wind current around him. This could make him float midair for a breath before he fell down.


    After reaching the Ascended Realm, one could fly a short distance in the air, but this wasn¡¯t true flying.


    A cultivator at the True Spirit Realm could fly for tens of miles without a problem.


    After returning to the Outer Hall Division, Zhao Feng immediately went to Deacon Qiu to apply to become an inner disciple. According to the rules, one only needed to reach the Ascended Realm before 30 to become one.


    ¡°I¡¯ll report this to the higher-ups and if there¡¯s no problem, you can go to the Central Control Division tomorrow.¡±


    Deacon Qiu¡¯s expression was calm and he only raised his eyebrows when he saw Zhao Feng¡¯s eyepatch and azure hair but he didn¡¯t say anything.

 138 Start of a Legend

    Zhao Feng let out a breath as he exited the Outer Hall Division. It looked like his eyepatch and azure hair didn¡¯t catch the attention of the Clan. Afterall, weird things of every kind happened every day.


    Zhao Feng soon arrived at the Clan Mission Division because of something else.


    He knew a few array masters as well as blacksmiths. Obviously, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t here to get a weapon because he wasn¡¯t rich enough to get blacksmiths to make him one.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you need me?¡±


    This blacksmith apprentice recognised Zhao Feng since the latter had followed old man Zhang around and had the name of ¡®prodigy¡¯.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that he was famous throughout the Outer Hall Division, Grass Wood Division and Clan Mission Division.


    He was the top outer disciple and he was only 14-15 years old. As for the Grass Wood Division and Clan Mission Division, he had the name of ¡®prodigy¡¯ and the two Vice Heads fought over him.


    ¡°I need an eyepatch.¡± Zhao Feng pointed at his left eye.


    ¡°Eyepatch?¡±


    The apprentice paused, he thought that Zhao Feng would want a weapon, but an eyepatch wasn¡¯t hard to make.


    Zhao Feng slowly took down the ribbon over his left eye and circulated the azure blood to block off the light from the dimension.


    When the apprentice saw Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, he was shocked - it was a dim eye, like there was no life in it.


    He finally ¡®understood¡¯ why Zhao Feng would want an eyepatch and he couldn¡¯t help but sympathize for him.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, don¡¯t worry I¡¯ll do my best and make the most suitable eyepatch.¡± The apprentice took his measurements and started straight away.


    He then told Zhao Feng to come tomorrow and the latter gave him two substandard Primal Crystal Stones.


    On the same nigh,t Zhao Feng closed his eyes and inspected the azure blood and the powers of his left eye.


    Inside the dimension of his left eye, the azure whirlpool spun from inside out and when Zhao Feng tried to touch it with his consciousness, he felt an ancient aura.


    Under a lot of testing, the power of his left eye was as follows:


    1. Enhanced vision and it could magnify & expand everything in his vision and had a certain amount of ¡®see through¡¯.


    2. Fast reaction speed and analysis¡­


    3. Photocopy, memorising everything he saw.


    4. Mental Energy Assassination!


    ¡­¡­


    Of course, these were the abilities that Zhao Feng knew of so far. Apart from that, there was also passive abilities such as extreme calmness.


    After reaching the Ascended Realm, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye became stronger and it had two new powers ¡®see through¡¯ and ¡®mental energy assassination.¡¯


    He hadn¡¯t completely figured out the mental energy assassination though, but he had read about it. For example, the hooded figure in the Sky Cloud Forest used mental energy to control Lord tier deadly beasts and led an army of beasts.


    This was in the domain of Mental energy and not martial arts.


    Instinct told Zhao Feng that there was much more to mental energy than what he knew so far and it seemed that this was the true power of his left eye¡­.


    Confirming the abilities in his left eye, Zhao feng started to circulate the 2 true forces in his body. One came from the Silver Wall Technique and it was known as the ¡®Silver Air True Force¡¯. This True Force was unique since it was born from the body and it slowly merged into his dantian.


    But the problem was there was already a Returning Breath True Force there.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s situation was extremely special, there might not have been anyone with a similar situation in the past one hundred years.


    Firstly, there was not many people who had trained their body strengthening techniques to the Ascended Realm. Body strengthening techniques were slow to progress and they needed talent, resources and effort. Furthermore, the Broken Moon Clan wasn¡¯t a Clan that focused on body strengthening much.


    Secondly not many broke through to the Ascended Realm with both their skills and body strengthening techniques. It was because of this that there was 2 True Forces in Zhao Feng¡¯s body, which meant that he had twice the quantity of True Force compared with other cultivators at the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    A normal person would probably give up one True Force, but Zhao Feng¡¯s Returning Breath True Force could merge with almost anything. The Returning Breath True Force shouldn¡¯t have been able to reach the Ascended Realm, but Zhao Feng once again made a miracle!


    His Returning Breath Technique had exceeded the max level and when any skill exceeds the max level, it was a different skill.


    ¡°This way I don¡¯t have to give one up, I can merge the two together and make them stronger.¡±


    A light flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes. His left eye started to calculate with all the data that he had.


    Soon, Zhao Feng came up with a conclusion: ¡°Once the two merge and strengthen, I can reach the peak of the 1st Sky in a short amount of time and the 2nd Sky won¡¯t be far away.¡±


    The 7 Skies of the Ascended Realm. Just like its name, every breakthrough was like the difference in the heavens and earth.


    The difference of every Sky was far greater than the difference in the 9 ranks of the Martial Path. Therefore, the Skies were hard to breakthrough and many cultivators stayed at the 1st and 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm without making another breakthrough in their lives.


    Why did Lord Guanjun place so much importance in talent? It was because he had experienced the difference in every sky of the Ascended Realm! If one¡¯s talent wasn¡¯t strong enough even if they did reach the Ascended Realm, they wouldn¡¯t be able to break through anymore and reach the True Spirit Realm. After entering the Clan, Zhao Feng understood what Lord Guanjun originally thought and why he had placed so much hope and expectation on Bei Moi.


    Compared with the others, Zhao Feng was only a half - Spiritual Body and he was already extremely lucky to be able to become one of Lord Guanjun¡¯s disciples.


    ¡°Life¡­. Luck¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng started to believe in luck. If it wasn¡¯t through Lord Guanjun, he might not even know about the Clans.


    He would then face greater challenges and without any accidents, Zhao Feng should be able to become an inner disciple tomorrow.


    Inner disciples, that was where the true geniuses fought.


    Bei Moi, Quan Chen, Sun Yuanhao, Liu Yue¡¯er, Ran Xiaoyuan¡­. As well as other geniuses were all inner disciples.


    Xiao Sun and Yun Mengxiang had both become inner disciples a few days ago as well and Zhao Feng becoming one could be almost certain. But he still wanted to enter something else - the Floating Crest Trial.


    He didn¡¯t know much about the Floating Crest Trial, but he knew that that was a place where one¡¯s life could be changed and he had the deal with old man Zhang and old man Guan.


    The Floating Crest Trial was once every 5 years and if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t participate, it would mean that his luck in the path of cultivation wasn¡¯t strong enough and he should rather work on pills and arrays instead.


    ¡­¡­¡­


    At night.


    Zhao Feng was still cultivating.


    It was a slow process for the two True Forces to merge and Zhao Feng estimated that he needed one month to merge the two together, which would make him reach the peak 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Normal inner disciples need 1-2 years to reach it, but if there was help from pill masters, the time could be condensed greatly. While the two forces were merging, Zhao Feng started to organise his skills:


    Silver Wall Technique: 10th level - reaching the Ascended Realm with his his body.


    WIth just his body alone, he could fight cultivators at the 1st Sky.


    Lightning Wind Palm: 3rd level - the same as low level.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, there was only a low number of people who had trained Middle class Mortal skills to the low level.


    Four Wind Stances: The first 3 had been fully comprehended and the last had been understood 70-80%. But even then the damage from the 4th stance exceeded the first 3.


    The power of it alone even surpassed Star Finger merging with Tornado Stance.


    Illusion Fish Picture: Comprehended up to the 5th change.


    Even though the Illusion Fish Picture didn¡¯t have any offensive power, it helped movements skills and arrays greatly.


    For example, when Zhao Feng merged the enlightenment gained from the Illusion Fish Picture, his attacks and movement had illusions which tricked the opponent.


    The Illusion Fish Picture focused on the word Illusion and Zhao Feng had just started to comprehend it.


    Up to now, Zhao Feng was only comprehending these moves and the other skills had all reached the peak level. But they were too weak to be used.


    This meant that Zhao Feng actually only had two skills that he cultivated: Silver Wall Technique and Lightning Wind Palm.


    The Silver Wall Technique had reached the 10th level out of the 11 levels and it wouldn¡¯t be of much use when he reached the 2nd Sky.


    This was the limit of normal Low class Mortal skills


    It was Lightning Wind Palm that could be trained up to the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    ¡­..


    Zhao Feng got up early the second morning and went to the Clan Mission Division.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, your eyepatch is done.¡±


    The apprentice handed over a metal eyepatch the size of a palm. The eyepatch was delicate and the surface was silver. It felt cold and smooth when touched.


    ¡°This eyepatch is special, it can block attacks from cultivators a the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm.¡±


    The apprentice explained as Zhao Feng put on the eyepatch. A cold feeling appeared and Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was fully covered.


    ¡°Good!¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction.


    Amidst the wind, his azure hair wavered and with his silver eyepatch, he seemed 30% wicked and 70% casual.


    The apprentice next to him couldn¡¯t help but pause. He felt that Zhao Feng had a indescribable change in aura.

 139 Inner Disciple

    The moment his left eye was covered, its powers were stalled but he still had the confidence to win. His body had been changed by the mysterious left eye and under normal circumstances, his reaction speed was still much faster than others.


    When he fought before, he never used his left eye in normal circumstances. Only if the situation was dire would he use it.


    ¡°If I block the power of my left eye, my overall strength will drop by half.¡± Zhao Feng estimated.


    It might sound exaggerated that his strength dropped by half, but it wasn¡¯t after the eye had been upgraded. Every time his consciousness entered the dimension in his left eye, he could feel the ancient aura.


    The left eye had become Zhao Feng¡¯s killing move that wouldn¡¯t be used easily. Once the eye was activated, it might catch the attention of the Clan and Zhao Feng¡¯s secret would be exposed.


    After leaving the Clan Mission Division, Zhao Feng returned to the Outer Hall Division to await the news. If there weren¡¯t any accidents, he would become an inner disciple today.


    Many disciples had received the news of Zhao Feng reaching the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s talent is average, but he still managed to reach the Ascended Realm so quickly.¡±


    They were all stunned.


    Even though Zhao Feng was the top outer disciple, they weren¡¯t willing to be under him because his talent was low amongst the Clan disciples.


    ¡°Hehehe, you don¡¯t know the truth. Zhao Feng¡¯s being cared for by two Vice Heads and one of them is of the Grass Wood Division¡­ ¡°


    ¡°No wonder! If it was me I could also have reached the Ascended Realm.¡±


    The outer disciples discussed Zhao Feng because the latter¡¯s talent was just too average and his age was young. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother explaining it to these outer disciples. What he needed to do was wait and that afternoon Deacon Qiu finally gave Zhao Feng the news.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Congratulations! You¡¯ve become an inner disciple and you can go to the Central Hall Division to await the last test.¡±Deacon Qiu said full of smiles.


    Ever since the Clan entrance examinations had ended, Deacon Qiu had started to pay attention to Zhao Feng because of the two Vice Heads. After that, Zhao Feng performed exceptionally well in the Grass Wood Division, Clan Mission Division and Outer Hall Division which caused Deacon Qiu to remember him.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s talent and age. this was unbelievable.


    ¡°Thank you, Deacon!¡±


    Zhao Feng was filled with joy as he immediately thanked the Deacon.


    After leaving the Outer Hall Division, Zhao Feng said goodbye to Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan.


    There was also many disciples who sent Zhao Feng away.


    ¡°That bastard is finally going¡­ ¡°


    Hou Yuan, Jiang Yuyan and the other substitute inner disciples let out a long breath. Only if Zhao Feng became an inner disciple did they have the chance to fight for 1st place and he had done so faster than expected, but their sights were kind of dim.


    Zhao Feng had become the top outer disciple in just 1 months time and he had now become an inner disciple.


    Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan felt proud but sour at the same time.


    Thinking back to when they were at the Guanjun palace, the difference between Zhao Feng and them was great. But the latter had caught up one step at a time and he had surpassed them.


    Of course, both Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan improved significantly¡­ they had both reached the 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm.


    With the help of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the two had reached the late stages of the 9th rank and the Ascended Realm would only be a matter of time especially so for Yang Qingshan as he had a Middle tier Spiritual Body.


    ¡­..


    After leaving the Outer Hall Division, Zhao Feng quickly walked towards the Central Hall Division. The Central Hall Division was at the centre of the Clan and the closer he got to it, Zhao Feng could feel the spiritual energy increase.


    Once he entered the Central Hall Division, the figures here were all at the Ascended Realm.


    At the same time, an ancient aura got closer and closer to Zhao Feng, which made him left eye twitch.


    Looking up, a deep azure palace with a sea of lightning around it floated high in the air. It was like it was a fairytale.


    Every time Zhao Feng saw the Floating Crest Palace, his heart would shake. And now, Zhao Feng was getting closer and closer to it as the palace was straight above the Central Hall Division.


    Taking back, his gaze Zhao Feng reported to the Central Hall Division.


    ¡°Come with me. Every inner disciple must be confirmed by a Vice Head.¡±


    A Vice Deacon was already waiting there for him and led him inside. The high level of the Clan would be informed of any new inner disciples and to confirm the inner disciple, a Vice Head would be needed.


    Soon,¡± Zhao Feng entered a dark, dim hall. The second he walked in, Zhao Feng felt an unfeelable pressure lash out at him.


    ¡°This is Head Li.¡± The Vice Deacon reminded in a low tone.


    ¡°Greetings Head Li.¡± Zhao Feng bowed respectfully to the bearded middle aged man sitting at the end of the hall.


    This Head Li was actually a Vice Head because true Head¡¯s were all elders that had reached the True Spirit Realm and wouldn¡¯t bother with testing disciples.


    Vice Head Li looked sharply at Zhao Feng below and the latter instantly felt like 7 heavy mountains were stacked on top of him and any movement would crush him into powder.


    The 7 mountains seemed to be Vice Head Li¡¯s cultivation.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, 14 years old, Low tier Spiritual Body and reached the Ascended Realm from the 8th rank of the Consolidated Realm in 1 months time. Apart from that, he was also the top outer disciple¡­ ¡±


    Vice Head Li glanced at a little book in his hand and knowing Zhao Feng¡¯s age, talent and cultivation, he couldn¡¯t help but be a little surprised.


    It wasn¡¯t rare for a 14 year old to reach the Ascended Realm in the Clan, but if the person only had a Low tier Spiritual Body with no special background, it was abnormal.


    ¡°Take off your eyepatch.¡± Vice Head Li said coldly.


    Zhao Feng circulated his azure blood to block off the dimension of his left eye then took off the eyepatch slowly. After taking off the eyepatch, there was a fully dim eye with no sign of light.


    Vice Head Li paused for a second as sympathy washed over him. A 14 year old had already lost the sight of one eye on the path of cultivation.


    Vice Head Li sighed and waved his hand to signal Zhao Feng to put on the eyepatch again.


    After this, Vice Head Li asked a few questions which included his history, cultivation as well as thoughts.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s response was perfect and his history was easy to find as well.


    ¡°I heard a bit about you from old man Zhang.¡±


    Vice Head Li nodded his head, signalling that Zhao Feng shouldn¡¯t be a spy sent from other Clan¡¯s.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng was young and his history was clear. Secondly, he was recommended by Lord Guanjun. Thirdly, two Vice Heads both praised Zhao Feng and because of this, Vice Head Li¡¯s suspicion decreased dramatically.


    After the questioning, Zhao Feng received a new token meaning that he was now an inner disciple.


    ¡°From today onwards, you are an inner disciple.¡±


    The Vice Deacon of the Central Hall Division showed where Zhao Feng where he was going to live.


    Being an inner disciple, his treatment was far better and there were even servants.


    Inner disciples got 10 substandard primal crystal stones every month and they would also get a true Spiritual Pill every 2-3 months. Spiritual pills were all a grade higher than the Marrow Cleansing Pill and its price was 10 times higher.


    On the same day, Zhao Feng also got a black striped shirt with a curved moon at the back. It was then that he realised that everything in the Clan wasn¡¯t simple. The material of this shirt was special. It was warm during winter and cold during summer. Apart from that, it could even withstand blows from the 9th ranks of the Consolidated Realm.


    People such as Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan and Quan Chen all wore clothes like this.


    Zhao Feng first needed to know the rules of this place and the Vice Deacon had told him the most important ones.


    Inner disciples never surpassed the age of 30, once they did, they weren¡¯t disciples anymore and they would be sent out to manage respective tasks and there was a ranking system amongst the inner disciples.


    There was only around 100 or so inner disciples in the Broken Moon Clan and only the top 10 could be called Core disciples.


    The strength of the Core disciples was terrifying, they had all reached the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm or higher and they were disciples of Elders of the Clan Master.


    Apart from that, the top Core disciple was also named the Head disciple. The Head disciple of this generation had reached an astounding cultivation - 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm and was slightly famous amongst the 13 Clans.


    ¡°Core disciples¡­ Head disciple¡­ ¡± A cycle appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart.


    People such as Bei Moi and Quan Chen didn¡¯t have as much power and authority Core disciple. It was Sister Yuan, from that day at the Thousand Leaf Pond, who could be a Core disciple since she was at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Thinking about sister Yuan, Zhao Feng took a cold hiccup but he was filled with gratitude as he remembered Ran Xiaoyuan.


    Walking out of his courtyard, Zhao Feng started to see who his neighbours were and he found that Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxiang as well as Lin Fan, who was the top outer disciple before him, were all nearby.


    They were all outer disciples just a while ago, so they were pretty close.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡±


    Xiao Sun¡¯s mouth was wide open as if he had seen a ghost. He never would have thought that Zhao Feng would be able to become an inner disciple.


    While Xiao Sun was an outer disciple, he hated Zhao Feng for taking the spot of top outer disciple. But he had become an inner disciple first, which made him feel better. But he didn¡¯t expect Zhao Feng would also become one a few days after him.


    ¡°Brother¡­ Zhao?¡±


    Yun Mengxiang and Lin Fan walked out one after another and their expressions were extremely colorful as they saw Zhao Feng like they had seen a ghost.

 140 Inner disciple gathering

    ¡°What!? That brat became an inner disciple?¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s mouth hung wide open as his original calm state of mind was instantly broken.


    This news just came from the Central Hall Division, Zhao Feng had passed the last confirmation test and had became an official inner disciple.


    Everything happened too fast!


    Zhao Feng reported that he had reached the Ascended Realm the day after and on the 3rd, he was already accepted.


    Knowing this news, Quan Chen didn¡¯t have the feeling to cultivate anymore. One had to know Zhao Feng was an ant at the 8th rank of the Consolidated Realm one month ago.


    If Zhao Feng had high talent like Bei Moi and had an Elder as their master this could be possible, but the problem was his talent wasn¡¯t high and his age was so young.


    Even Quan Chen was only at the peak 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm at 14-15.


    ¡°No! I must tell Master this news.¡±


    Quan Chen couldn¡¯t sit still and he immediately headed towards Hai Yun Master¡¯s palace.


    ¡°Elder was injured during cultivation, so he¡¯s recovering right now.¡± The guard said.


    Injured?


    Quan Chen was stunned. According to what he saw, more than one Elder was injured yesterday in the Clan.


    Many Elder¡¯s getting injured on the same day sounded weird, but this was the truth!


    Two days before Zhao Feng became an inner disciple, many Elder¡¯s in secluded meditation had all spat out blood, but none of them knew what had happened.


    Seeing that Master was recovering, Quan Chen could only contact the other disciples.


    Hai Yun Master had 4 core disciples and of them all, Bei Moi had the highest talent.


    Quan Chen was the 3rd disciple and he was at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    There were two disciples above Quan Chen and the first disciple ¡®Wu Li¡¯ was the oldest and he had reached the peak 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm. He hold Vice Deaon position since he was over 30.


    The second disciple, Yuan Zhi, was not even 20 years old but he had reached the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm. And one of the 10 Core disciples of the Clan.


    ¡­¡­.


    On the same day, the disciples of Hai Yun Master gathered together.


    The first disciple ¡®Wu Li¡¯ had gone on a mission and he wasn¡¯t at the Clan.


    The second disciple, Yuan Zhi.


    Third disciple, Quan Chen.


    Fourth disciple, Bei Moi.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying¡­ That he¡¯s become an inner disciple?¡±


    Bei Moi was extremely surprised. He knew how talented the disciples of Lord Guanjun were and apart from himself, Yang Qingshan had the highest talent.


    He first thought that Yang Qingshan would be the first to become an inner disciple, but the latter had no background what so ever. So it was expected that 1 year was needed before Yang Qingshan became an inner disciple.


    ¡°I¡¯m absolutely sure. That kid¡¯s just too weird¡­ ¡±


    Quan Chen was somewhat frustrated as he mentioned Zhao Feng. He had tried to suppress the latter before, but none of them worked.


    ¡°Brother Bei, does this Zhao Feng have anything special about him?¡±


    The second disciple ¡¯Yuan Zhi¡¯ said full of smiles.


    Being a core disciple of the Clan, Yuan Zhi didn¡¯t put someone who had just become an inner disciple in his eyes but he was just slightly interested.


    ¡°This guy¡­ ¡±


    Mentioning Zhao Feng, Bei Moi¡¯s eyebrows scrunched up because even he had lost to Zhao Feng before. For example in terms of memory, and the beast horde battle points¡­


    Of course, someone as proud as Bei Moi wouldn¡¯t mention this.


    ¡°His talent is average but his memory is extremely well and he seems to focus on a body strengthening technique. His battle power is also very powerful¡­ ¡±


    Bei Moi gave a review of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Yuan Zhi laughed: ¡°When this brat was an outer disciple, we couldn¡¯t do anything. But now that he¡¯s an inner disciple, it¡¯s much easier to take care of him.¡±


    That¡¯s right!


    Quan Chen¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Outer disciples and inner disciples were like two circles that didn¡¯t mix and Zhao Feng had now entered their circle.


    ¡°Why bother telling Master about something so small? We can play with him alone.¡±


    A cold smile appeared on Yuan Zhi¡¯s face.


    ¡°Could you already have a plan?¡±


    Quan Chen couldn¡¯t help but be overjoyed. Yuan Zhi was a calculating core disciple, who destroyed those who offended him.


    ¡­¡­¡­.


    Central Hall Division.


    Zhao Feng, Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxiang and Lin Fan were all in the same room. Up to now, the three¡¯s shock hadn¡¯t recovered.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s performance had stunned them. With 14 years of age, he had became the top outer disciple and he had become an inner disciple in just one month.


    Even Lin Fan the top outer disciple before Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t believe it.


    At first, he had smiled and said: ¡°I believe we will be meeting again in a few years time¡±


    A few years time¡­


    At that moment, Lin Fan thought that with Zhao Feng¡¯s Low tier Spiritual Body the latter needed at least 2-3 years, but now¡­


    Xiao Sun and Yun Mengxiang both felt defeated after they accepted this reality.


    ¡°Since everyone¡¯s become an inner disciple, we can all take care of each other.¡±


    Lin Fan laughed and the atmosphere in the room returned to normal.


    Because Zhao Feng had become an inner disciple later than them, he had some things to ask them and Lin Fan and co. answered his questions.


    ¡°We¡¯ve just become inner disciples and we have low cultivation, so we must be careful in everything we do. We also can¡¯t offend other inner disciples, especially core disciples¡­ ¡± Lin Fan sighed.


    When he mentioned core disciples, everyone sighed. Core disciples were at least at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm or higher and they had strong backgrounds.


    ¡°The Clan¡¯s been quite peaceful and quiet right now. Most disciples are preparing for the Floating Crest Trial 3 months from now.¡± Yun Mengxiang sighed with regret and unwillingness.


    The Floating Crest Trial happened only once every 5 years and many inner disciples fought to enter, but the three didn¡¯t hold much hope.


    ¡°It¡¯s just too hard to participate.¡± Xiao Sun shook his head as well.


    According to past experience, one needed to be at least at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm to fight for the chance to enter. But luckily those disciples who had entered 5 years ago weren¡¯t allowed to enter this time. The rules of the Floating Crest Trial stated that those who entered must not be older than 25 and could only enter once, so the stronger inner disciples couldn¡¯t enter but even then the competition was fierce.


    Xiao Sun and co. had just became inner disciples and they weren¡¯t confident. Maybe only geniuses such as Bei Moi and Sun Yuanhao, who had Elders supporting them, could have the chance to enter.


    Speaking at last, Lin Fan warned Zhao Feng: ¡°Remember that you still have one chance to enter the Hollow Building after you became an inner disciple.¡±


    The two were both the top outer disciple at one time and they knew the advantage they had gained.


    Hollow Building?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he remembered the structure of the arrays in the Hollow Building.


    The jade slips all floated in the mist which was enveloped by an array.


    If one could disable the arrays, they could get a few more skills from the Hollow Building.


    This was just too enticing!


    One had to know that the skills in the Hollow Building were all the best skills and included High and Peak Class Mortal skills.


    Of course, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any confidence in disabling the array because the array in the Hollow Building was too complicated and even if Zhao Feng could do it, the Elder guarding the building might sense it.


    But the more complicated an array was,the more holes and flaws appeared. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to break the array, if he just found a hole in the array, there was still a high chance¡­


    That night, Zhao Feng started to break the structure of the array in the dimension of his left eye. That array was extremely complicated and even though Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye had upgraded, he still felt a lot of resistance although progress was still made.


    If old man Zhang of the Clan Mission Division was here, he would probably be speechless. One had to know that the arrays of the Hollow Building were ancient and the best array masters in the Clan could understand 20-30% of it.


    A newbie like Zhao Feng could analyse and disassemble the array just by looking at it once was just unbelievable.


    ¡°There¡¯s two True Forces in my body, which needs to be merged together. Only when I¡¯m at the late stages of the 1st Sky will I need to enter the Hollow Building to get another Force skill.¡±


    Zhao Feng planned and for the next few days, he kept on merging his True Force and tried to comprehend the array of the Hollow Building.


    Since he had just become an inner disciple, he didn¡¯t know how Quan Chen, Hai Yun Master and co. would treat him. So it was better to first be quiet, but he couldn¡¯t stay holed up here forever.


    The 7th day.


    Dong~


    The sound of a bell ringing resounded across the Central Hall Division.


    ¡°Inner disciple gathering!¡±


    The inner disciples all got out of bed or opened their eyes from cultivation.


    The inner disciples gathering was held by the Head of Central Hall Division and it happened once a month.


    ¡°This is one of the biggest gatherings!¡±


    Xiao Sun was extremely excited.


    Yun Mengxiang and Lin Fan also walked out of their respective courtyards and the four of them walked towards the Central Hall Division together.


    Disciples slowly started to gather around the Central Hall Division and their cultivation were mostly at the 2nd Sky or higher.


    Zhao Feng and the other new inner disciples were eye catching and the older inner disciples looked at them with disdain.


    Hmph!


    One long nosed outh scanned Zhao Feng and co.


    ¡°Looks like this time I can¡¯t hide.¡± Lin Fan said helplessly.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but look at the long nosed youth. Yun Mengxiang told him in a low tone that the long nosed youth was called Xu Ren who was at the 2nd Sky. He had a younger brother who was an outer disciple, but he had been beaten by Lin Fan because he had been too cocky and arrogant.


    Therefore, the second that Lin Fan became an inner disciple, Xu Ren came to his place and tried to avenge his brother. But Lin Fan used his brain and hid.


    But today was the inner disciples gathering, so even if he tried to hide, he couldn¡¯t.

 141 Lightning Wind Palm showing its Power

    While Yun Mengxiang was talking to Zhao Feng in a low tone, the sharp long nosed Xu Ren started to release some pressure towards Lin Fan with a cold expression.


    ¡°You brats come here!¡±


    Xu Ren¡¯s eyebrows twitched as he coldly scanned Zhao Feng and co. His aim was Lin Fan, but if the other brat¡¯s didn¡¯t mind their own business, he didn¡¯t mind teaching them a lesson together.


    Two inner disciples stood behind Xu Ren with playful expressions - they had both reached the 2nd Sky as well.


    The 3 of them were all at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm, which was the same as Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, Brother Xiao, Sister Yun¡­ I¡¯ll take care of my own stuff.¡±


    Lin Fan walked out alone, not wanting to get the others involved.


    Xiao Sun let out a breath and he immediately pulled a gap between him and Lin Fan. Xu Ren and co. were all at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm and they weren¡¯t people that he could afford to offend.


    Zhao Feng was also pulled to the side by Yun Mengxiang.


    ¡°The Clan allows sparring but because every inner disciple is gathering here, they won¡¯t go all out.¡±


    Yun Mengxiang explained to Zhao Feng. It was obvious that she and Xiao Sun didn¡¯t want to get involved with Lin Fan¡¯s matters.


    Even though their relationship was ok, they didn¡¯t want to offend the older inner disciples for him.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ Lin Fan! No one dares to help you!¡± Xu Ren laughed arrogantly.


    He enjoyed the feeling of Zhao Feng and them ¡®knowing their positions¡¯.


    Lin Fan¡¯s heart turned slightly cold, even though he had prepared to be alone.


    The disciples soon made enough space for them and no one interfered.


    ¡°Let me see your top outer disciple strength.¡±


    A strong surge of mental energy appeared from Xu Ren¡¯s body as his 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm aura pressured Lin Fan.


    Every Sky difference was like heaven and earth, the True Force of cultivators at the 2nd Sky was on an entirely new level to the 1st.


    Facing him, Lin Fan couldn¡¯t breath properly. But he was after all once the top outer disciple and he was stronger than those at the same rank.


    Stunning Feather Blade!


    Lin Fan thrust his arm out and a flash of white light appeared like snow in winter. The sword light was weird because it was as fast as lightning, but pure white like feather at the same time.


    Raging 3 Sword Light!


    Xu Ren drew his sword out of its sheath, which turned into a wave of light full of agility.


    Ding Ding Ding¡­


    The two moves clashed together as urgent clashing sounds appeared.


    The power of the Ascended Realm wasn¡¯t something that could be compared to the Consolidated Realm. Any remaining energy could instantly kill any cultivator at the 9th rank of the Consolidated Realm.


    ¡°This Lin Fan is better than expected. His Middle class Mortal blade skill had been trained proficiently.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s worthy of the title top outer disciple since he¡¯s able to fight against someone at the 2nd Sky without losing.¡±


    The spectators were surprised. Lin Fan¡¯s strength was stronger than expected and he wasn¡¯t losing.


    ¡°No wonder he could be the top outer disciple.¡±


    Zhao Feng had heard that Lin Fan had beaten someone at the Ascended Realm when the latter was only at the half-step Ascended Realm. It looks like now the rumour might be true.


    Ten moves¡­ Twenty moves¡­


    Xu Ren was extremely solemn as he took a deep breath and a stronger true force surged out of his body, which made his attacks more and more furious.


    Everyone felt that Xu Ren¡¯s sword became fiercer and sharper.


    Ssssssh!


    A gap appeared on Lin Fan¡¯s snow white blade as sparks flashed in the air.


    ¡°That is a Mortal grade sword.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! This was created by our blacksmith master Li Jingyue and he only made a total of 36.¡±


    ¡­¡­.


    The appearance of the Mortal grade Holy sword made the situation turn. Once Xu Ren used the power of the ¡®Jingyue¡¯ sword, his offense became ever stronger and within a few moves, Lin Fan¡¯s blade was crippled and the latter had bloody marks all over him.


    ¡°There¡¯s many weapons in this world and they¡¯re split into different grades: Mortal, Spiritual, Earth and Sky. Every grade is split into low, middle, high and peak, just like skills. In this continent, weapons of the Spiritual grade or higher have been generally lost¡­ ¡±


    Information appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. He had read many books and had imprinted them all into his mind.


    Every weapon of the Spiritual grade or higher had immense power and they could destroy the heavens and earth. Apparently, the Broken Moon Clan had one and it was one of the killing moves of the Clan.


    Even the lowest Mortal grade weapon had terrifying power.


    Zhao Feng found that of the 40-50% increase in strength from Xu Ren, at least 30% percent came from the sword and another 20% from increasing his True Force.


    In just a moments time, Lin Fan was full of injuries.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ It looks like the top outer disciples strength is only so so.¡±


    Xu Ren had a Mortal grade weapon at hand and he purposely didn¡¯t win because he wanted to play with Lin Fan and his attacks were precise. Lin Fan wasn¡¯t severely injured, but it would hurt.


    ¡°You¡¯ve won, stop now.¡±


    Zhao Feng finally said on the side.


    Up to now Lin Fan had also surrendered but Xu Ren only coldly laughed: ¡°Unless he kneels on the ground and begs for forgiveness in front of my brother or else this will happen again!¡±


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng turned into a blur and headed straight towards Xu Ren¡¯s back.


    ¡°Brat, stop!¡±


    The two friends at the 2nd Sky both exclaimed, but they weren¡¯t able to react in time.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was just too fast and it was full of illusions.


    Lightning Wind Palm!


    The azure haired one eyed youth appeared behind Xu Ren and thrust out his palm with the sound of lightning accompanying it.


    Xu Ren only felt his ears tremble from the sound and he was barely able to turn around and send out a palm to block it.


    Peng----


    The dominant palm seemed to pierce through lightning and the terrifying aura made the others nearby dazed.


    What a dangerous move!


    Only a few were able to clearly see that move.


    Boom!


    Xu Ren was sent flying as his clothes ripped and parts of his body was burnt.


    ¡°You... you sneak attacked me!¡± Xu Ren said in a trembling tone with a pale white face.


    ¡°Yes, I sneak attacked you!¡± Zhao Feng crossed his arms and glanced coldly down at Xu Ren.


    Wah!


    Xu Ren tried to forcefully circulate his True Force, but he spat out a mouthful of blood instead.


    The palm just then from Zhao Feng had already seriously injured him and now, he was so angry that coughed out blood.


    ¡°What move was that?¡±


    The nearby disciples had finally recovered but they were still stunned. Even though Zhao Feng had sneaked up on Xu Ren, they could still see how terrifying the power of that palm was.


    ¡°Lightning Wind Palm! It must be the Lightning Wind Palm! That guy¡¯s gone crazy!!!!!¡± A disciple of the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm soon exclaimed.


    Lightning Wind Palm!


    The expressions of the inner disciples changed.


    ¡°Every person that had trained in the Lightning Wind Palm were all crazy bastards!¡±


    ¡°A few years ago, a crazy bastard who trained the Lightning Wind Palm used this skill and he was able to kill someone 2 Skies higher than him, although he died in the end as well.¡±


    ¡­.


    At this time, everyone looked at Zhao Feng with wariness, like they were looking at a bomb that could go off at any time.


    Just like they said, anyone who trained the Lightning Wind Palm were crazy.


    One shouldn¡¯t offend someone like that.


    There was this saying: The weak fear the strong, the strong fear the fierce and the fierce fear those who don''t value their lives


    And those who trained the Lightning Wind Palm were all people who didn¡¯t care about their lives, because this skill was just too dangerous.


    Even if one was lucky enough to train it to it¡¯s highest level, they were usually struck by lightning and killed anyways.


    When they inspected Zhao Feng¡¯s outfit, the azure hair and one eye, they took a cold hiccup and their suspicions of Zhao Feng being crazy was confirmed.


    ¡°This kid¡­ Sneaked up on me!¡±


    Xu Ren had lost the ability to fight, but his two friends were at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm. However, they didn¡¯t dare attack.


    In the wind, Zhao Feng¡¯s azure hair flowed freely and his cold right eye looked down at Xu Ren as well as his two friends.


    He was not even scared when facing the two 2nd Sky disciples. On the contrary, he was excited and couldn¡¯t help but lick his lips.


    This made the other¡¯s feel that Zhao Feng was cruel and brutal.


    ¡°Could Zhao Feng¡­ Be crazy?¡±


    Xiao Sun and Yun Mengxiang looked at each other.


    In reality, Zhao Feng was excited: ¡°The power of the Lightning Wind Palm is so strong!!¡±


    Just as the atmosphere reached a climax.


    ¡°The core disciples are here!¡± A shout came from afar.


    The tension eased and everyone turned towards a few disciples at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Core disciples had special treatment in the Clan and they held authority equal to a Deacon. Every Core disciple had a high level person of the Clan behind them.


    ¡°Brat! I¡¯ll make you wish that you died next time I see you!¡± Xu Ren howled as he managed to barely get up.


    His two friends also stared angrily at Zhao Feng, but then they realised the latter wasn¡¯t even looking at them.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze landed on a certain Core disciple.


    The clothes that Core disciples wore were different to inner disciples. They didn¡¯t even need to wear the uniform if they wanted to.


    The Core disciple he looked at was tall and clothed in white.


    Sister Yuan?


    Zhao Feng paused slightly, then he soon saw Ran Xiaoyuan next to her.


    The one tall one slightly shorter beauties caught the attention of many disciples.


    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±


    Ran Xiaoyuan coincidentally saw Zhao Feng¡¯s azure hair and one eye and her face became pale, maybe due to his wicked appearance.


    ¡°When did this guy become an inner disciple?¡±


    Sister Yuan remembered how she was peeked at by Zhao Feng and how she was blackmailed.


    Her expression immediately dimmed down.

 143 Heavenly Wind God Technique

    Hearing about the Head disciple battle and the Floating Crest Trial, all the inner disciples were excited.


    Vice head Li smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction.


    Amongst the inner disciples, Zhao Feng was only at the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm, the bottom of the bottom. But because of his left eye and azure blood, he was extremely confident.


    Ever since he had reached the Ascended Realm, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t even tested what kind of power his body truly had.


    After Vice Head Li finished talking about the two things, he said some other small talk like warning certain disciples for not completing their task. Zhao Feng knew that inner disciples were free most of the time and they received resources from the Clan. But according to the rules, one inner disciple had to complete a task every two months.


    Some inner disciples even wanted to do more, so they could get more point contribution points. These contribution points were similar to the battle points at Guanjun Palace - they could be exchanged for weapons, skills, pills etc.


    In the Broken Moon Clan, inner disciples could volunteer to do a few tasks aside from the one they were assigned to. If one¡¯s contribution points were enough, they could enter the Hollow Building.


    Xu Ren¡¯s Jingyue Sword was a low grade Mortal weapon and it was bought through contribution points, so no inner disciple would say that they had too many contribution points.


    ¡°After my cultivation stabilises, I¡¯ll also go and accept a few tasks.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    Thinking back, his battle points in Guanjun Palace was first amongst all the disciples and this was all due to the capabilities of his left eye in battle.


    ¡­..


    Half an hour later, the gathering finally finished and the disciples walked their own ways.The inner disciples had their own circles. For example, Quan Chen, Bei Moi, Yuan Zhi was a circle and Zhao Feng, Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxiang as well as Lin Fan was a circle.


    Lin Fan was grateful: ¡°Thanks for Brother Zhao back then¡­ ¡±


    Xiao Sun and Yun Mengxiang were slightly guilty. After all, Lin Fan had been bullied but they didn¡¯t even dare do anything.


    Xiao Sun was extremely irritated and he had the idea to leave Zhao Feng and Lin Fan.


    Firstly, Lin Fan and Zhao Feng had both offended other disciples that were stronger than them. This was particularly so for Zhao Feng who had offended core disciples.


    Secondly, the talent and potential of Zhao Feng and Lin Fan were both average, so there wasn¡¯t anything to be gained from being friends with them.


    Xiao Sun laughed coldly and he wanted to get rid of them quickly. Looking at Xiao Sun¡¯s figure, Zhao Feng and Lin Fan looked at each other and shook their heads.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s talent in pill refining is excellent, but he had chosen the Lightning Wind Palm¡­ ¡± Yun Mengxiang sighed.


    She didn¡¯t say anything as she left. Being the Princess of the Cloud Country, she was investing in Zhao Feng. But the latter had chosen the path of cultivation and the Lighting Wind Palm, so he was destined to fail.


    Yun Mengxiang decided to help a few other talented disciples because she couldn¡¯t put too much hope on Zhao Feng.


    After saying goodbye to Lin Fan, Zhao Feng returned to his own place. His current aim right now was to increase his cultivation by merging the two True Forces.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed and the 2 True Forces in Zhao Feng¡¯s body had finally merged together. The True Force was mainly Silver Air True Force because the Returning Breath True Force couldn¡¯t be trained anymore.


    Obviously, the new Silver Air True Force contained some attributes of the Returning Breath True Force.


    ¡°The merging speed was much faster than I expected. My cultivation has reached the late stages of the 1st Sky.¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    As he merged the forces, he would occasionally go to the Thousand Leaf Pond to improve his body. He had reached the late stages of the 1st Sky in just a months time - this speed was considered quite fast. Even disciples who had Elders backing them could only be so fast.


    After his cultivation reached the late stages of the 1st Sky, Zhao Feng had another goal: Choose another inner strength skill, but he didn¡¯t immediately go to the Hollow Building.


    Inside the dimension in his left eye.


    An enormous complicated array appeared .


    While Zhao Feng was merging the forces, he didn¡¯t give up on comprehending the structures of the Hollow Building¡¯s array.


    Now he had analysed the structure of the array, but it was hard to fully control it. After all, even the best array masters had only understood 20-30% of it. But Zhao Feng had his own advantage and that was that he was able to see the array structure and imprint it in his mind.


    Therefore, he had comprehended 70-80% of the array, surpassing all the other array masters.


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng only concentrated on analysing and comprehending the array.


    This was his conclusion:


    He had 70% confidence to break the array, but it would be hard to not let the Elder guarding the building sense it. The only way was to enter through the holes in the array and see if there were any books around. If he was lucky, he could get good skills. But if he was unlucky, he could get nothing at all, but the advantage of this was that the Elder wouldn¡¯t sense anything was wrong.


    ¡­..


    A few days later, Zhao Feng left the area in which he lived and headed to the Hollow Building.


    When he came to the building the second time, he took out his inner disciple token this time and with this, he could choose any Middle class Mortal skill in the building.


    He soon entered the misty place where all the jade slips floated in the air.


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and he slightly moved the eyepatch, so that he could just see with his left eye. In the view of his left eye, a clearer array structure appeared.


    ¡°Great, there¡¯s more flaws that I can see now due to the fact that the eye has leveled up.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heartbeat sped out. He crouched down before suddenly stepping back and reaching out.


    Shua!


    A silver jade slip appeared in his left eye and he had used the hole in the array to get this jade slip. This slip wasn¡¯t supposed to appear in this area, but it had happened.


    ¡°Hmm? Silver?¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    Most jade slips were bronze and silver slips meant High class Mortal skills.


    Zhao Feng scanned the slip and he found that it was a High class Mortal sword skill. He sighed and copied the contents of it.


    A while later, another silver light flashed. Zhao Feng caught the jade slip in his hand and after scanning it with his left eye, he returned it back to where he got it from.


    This skill was a High class Mortal movement skill, but Zhao Feng already had the Illusion Fish Picture. What he needed was an inner strength skill


    Just as he was about to steal again for the 3rd time, his left eye started jumping and stopped his hand from movement.


    At this moment, a weird mental energy scanned him.


    ¡°This should be the Spiritual sense of those at the True Spirit Realms. Zhao Feng thought.


    Spiritual Sense was an energy created by those at the the 4th Sky or higher unless they had special skills. The Spiritual sense just then should have belonged to the Elder guarding the Hollow Building casually checking around.


    After waiting for a bit to make sure nothing else moved, Zhao Feng took out another jade slip.


    ¡°Heavenly Wind God Technique: High class Mortal Skill and one of the elite amongst the its class. This skill can increase the speed of which true force is condensed. When trained to the low level, the true force will become like wind blades that cut through mud. When trained to the high level, it can even pierce through low grade Mortal weapons¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be excited as he read the description. This skill was suitable for him.


    Firstly, he specialised in wind and had a good solid foundation. Secondly, the true force could be condensed at a higher speed, which meant that he had a big advantage.


    One had to know that normal inner disciples only learnt Middle class Mortal skills. Not only was Heavenly Wind God Technique a High class Mortal skill, it was one of the best High class skills.


    Skills that had the element of wind and fire were rare and they focused on speed + offense.


    This way as long as Zhao Feng didn¡¯t show this skill, no one would know.


    ¡°It¡¯s you.¡±


    Zhao Feng confirmed the fact that the Heavenly Wind God Technique was going to be his main skill.


    Now that his aim had been achieved, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t take anything else. The reason he didn¡¯t look for more was because 1) time was limited, 2) there was the chance of being found out.


    For the remaining time, Zhao Feng took out a skill name the Heavenly Air Wind Technique.


    ¡°Hahaha, this Heavenly Air Wind Technique is the simplified version of Heavenly Wind God Technique.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction. This way his Heavenly Wind God Technique could be disguised. At the same time, the skill he chose was recorded by the Hollow Building.


    Hollow Building, inside a hidden room.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, Heavenly Air Wind Technique, Mhmmm¡­ he¡®s the one who chose the Lightning Wind Palm last time?¡± An old man murmured.


    At this time, Zhao Feng had walked out of the building with a few High class Mortal skills and the Middle class skill Heavenly Air Wind Technique. Of course, the most important was still the Heavenly Wind God Technique.


    After going back, Zhao Feng found that this skill was full of enlightenment.


    ¡°Hmmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed and found that he seen this Heavenly Wind God Technique somewhere before.

 149 Scarlet Moon Demonic Cave 2

    The Silver Striped Blood Corpse slowly stood up from the dried pond like a person being revived revived. At the same time, it released a chilling aura.


    Weng~~


    The entire cave started to shake, like the wicked energy was too strong.


    Huang Yun and the others couldn¡¯t breathe nor did they think to resist.


    ¡°Forgive me, Sire!¡±


    Huang Yun, at the very front, kneeled on to the ground in fear.


    ¡°Huang Yun! How dare you bow down to demonic spawn!?¡±


    Xu Ren and the other three felt shameful and cold.


    The leader had already surrendered, which made their group¡¯s power drop dramatically.


    Huang Yun kneeled on the ground begging for the Silver Striped Blood Corpses forgiveness and he didn¡¯t respond to the other youths¡¯ cursing.


    Always stand on the stronger side - this was Huang Yun¡¯s law.


    He had heard about Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and any bottom class member could kill them. Furthermore, the Silver Striped Blood Corpses tone and aura made it like it held a high authority within the Religion. Anyone that held high authority in the Demonic Religion could easily destroy a clan such as the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­ Brats, this Sire here is one of the 108 Protectors of the Blood Corpse Sub-Division. If you guys surrender right now, you may have a slim chance of survival.¡±


    Xing Chen¡¯s brutal face reappeared from the corner.


    ¡°Huang Yun greets Lord Protector and is willing to serve him.¡±


    Joy appeared on Huang Yun¡¯s face as the latter bowed down his head showing his loyalty. There was apparently 12 Divisions and 108 Sub-Divisions across the Religion which had once almost controlled the continent.


    Any Sub-Division of the 108 Sub-Divisions could destroy the Thirteen Countries, even the two other big strong countries wouldn¡¯t be able to resist. From this, it could be seen how strong a Sub-Division was.


    And the Silver Striped Blood Corpse was the Blood Corpses¡¯ Protector, just one rank below the Sub-Division Leader. A few hundred years ago, even the Broken Moon Clan Master would have to listen to him.


    ¡°What should we do?¡±


    Xu Ren panicked and he looked at Zhao Feng. He didn¡¯t know why he would question this one-eyed azure haired youth.


    From the beginning of the mission till now, only Zhao Feng had a calm and composed attitude, which caused the others to admire him. It was because of him that the group had survived up to now and entered the Scarlet Moon Demonic Cave.


    Of the five of them, only Zhao Feng could maintain his calmness.


    Inside the dimension of his left eye.


    The ancient aura inside merged with the faint azure blood and blocked the pressure.


    Pah!


    Zhao Feng suddenly reached out and hit Lin Fan¡¯s shoulder.


    Lin Fan¡¯s heart shook and he felt an agile, cold True Force go through his body and help block the pressure.He looked in gratitude at Zhao Feng and stood up slowly. Lin Fan that he had beaten the fear in his heart.


    ¡°Get up!¡±


    Xu Ren waved his hand and he made Xiao Sun stand up as well. But even though Xiao Sun and Lin Fan had both gotten up, they still couldn¡¯t breath due to the pressure of the Silver Striped Blood Corpse.


    Of the group, only Huang Yun still kneeled on the ground and he didn¡¯t dare get up, while the other 4 had regained some of their strength.


    ¡°Youngsters, how dare you not bow down the Lord Protector!? Could it be that you want to die?¡± Xing Chen exclaimed as he saw the 4 get up.


    Wu~


    The Silver Striped Blood Corpse opened his mouth slightly and a low humming sound appeared which scared everyone.


    ¡°Of the 5, only 2 shall live and become my slaves. The others shall all become a blood sacrifice.¡± The Silver Striped Blood Corpses¡¯ voice echoed in the cave and the expressions of the 5 changed dramatically.


    This was especially so for Huang Yun as a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes as he circulated his True Force at the same time.


    ¡°Hehe, Leader Huang Yun, even if you kill 3 of us, the remaining two will also die.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mocking voice sounded and Huang Yun¡¯s figure stiffened. But he didn¡¯t know whether it was because that his plan had been found out or his mind was changing.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! This devil just wants to split up our strength, don¡¯t get fooled by it.¡± Lin Fan exclaimed.


    Facing death only, Zhao Feng was calm and he wasn¡¯t affected by the Silver Striped Blood Corpse.


    ¡°The great Protector, I, have just woken up and I need people. How dare you question me!? Do you want to die?¡± The voice of the Silver Striped Blood Corpse was filled with killing intent and coldness.


    Everyone felt their heart go cold - they weren¡¯t in any doubt of the killing intent of the Silver Striped Blood Corpse.


    Huang Yun¡¯s heart soon calmed down again and thought: ¡°If I surrender,there¡¯s still a chance of hope. But if I don¡¯t, there¡¯s no chance of hope.¡±


    ¡°Lord Protector! If you really have your strength, why not capture or kill us in a wave of your hand? Why do you need to speak so much?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled and said coldly.


    After this was said, everyone froze. Xu Ren, Lin Fan and Xiao Sun were all smart people and they understood what Zhao Feng meant.


    Without a doubt, the Corpse in front of them must be really weak or else it wouldn¡¯t need a blood sacrifice to recover his strength. And if the Corpse had its power, it could kill them all with a wave of his hands.


    In reality, the Silver Striped Blood Corpse was just creating fear with his words to lessen the group¡¯s strength.


    ¡°You¡­ ¡±


    The Silver Striped Blood Corpse stiffened and his expression became icy: ¡°Do you really think I don¡¯t have the power!?¡±


    The second he finished his sentence, a cold blood aura swept across the cave, which made the mountains shake.


    ¡°Haha, this is just your mental energy Lord Protector. It doesn¡¯t mean that your body has much strength!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s sharp eye were calm. Ever since he reached the Ascended Realm, his left eye had gained power in the mental energy area and the Silver Striped Blood Corpse had only used his mental energy, which was just stronger than normal cultivators at the 7th Sky. Furthermore, Zhao Feng had also seen the weakness in it.


    The aura just then seemed to make the mountains shake, but that was just a mental energy illusion trick. It was unfortunate that Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye seemed to have resistance against illusions.


    ¡°1st Sky of the Ascended Realm¡­ How is this possible!?¡±


    Disbelief and panic flashed in the Silver Striped Blood Corpses¡¯ eyes.


    According to his plan, he would scare them all with his mental energy and let them fight to the death until only 2 were alive.


    However, the Corpse didn¡¯t expect that there was a game changer like Zhao Feng.


    The latter had been scared and shocked by the Corpse at the beginning. But after he calmed down, Zhao Feng found that there was more and more flaws in the opponent.


    ¡°Hahaha! You¡¯re just pretending!¡±


    Xu Ren laughed and the others all let out a breath.


    They were all smart people to become inner disciples, but only Zhao Feng had retained his calmness.


    Now one thing could be confirmed - the corpse had just woken up and it was severely injured, so its strength was limited.


    At least he didn¡¯t have total strength to kill them, so the 5 could still fight back. Apart from Huang Yun, who still didn¡¯t know what to do, battle intent surged from the other 4 and Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    If it was just him, he wouldn¡¯t be able to beat Xing Chen and the Silver Striped Blood Corpse. But if the group teamed up, there was a higher chance of winning.


    ¡°Ignorant youths! Since you¡¯ve gave up your last chance of survival, then the great Lord Protector, I, shall destroy you.¡±


    A cold light flashed in the Silver Striped Blood Corpses¡¯ eyes and a faint purple aura appeared from him and it felt terrifying.


    Shua!


    The Silver Striped Blood Corpse flashed and charged at the 5 with Xing Chen following behind.


    F***!


    Huang Yun rolled backwards and he tried to get back to Zhao Feng and the others. However, he had underestimated the Silver Striped Blood Corpses¡¯ speed. The latter''s speed was much faster than Xing Chen and it was close to the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Shuuu!


    The grey claws of the corpse sliced across Huang Yun¡¯s shoulders.


    ¡°Ahh!¡±


    Huang Yun howled in pain as one elbow fell off with a ¡®Crack!¡¯, while the corpse poison entered his body.


    ¡°Help me!¡± Huang Yun screamed and begged Zhao Feng and co. for help.


    The four took in a cold breath. The Silver Striped Blood Corpse was weak right now, but it still had terrifying strength.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go rescue Huang Yun and try to hold back the Corpse. You guys go and finish off the Xing family head.¡± Zhao Feng pulled out his Golden Stairs Bow and told the other three.


    Xu Ren, Xiao Sun and Lin Fan all looked deeply at Zhao Feng before leaping at Xing Chen as they activated their killing moves.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s plan was simple - concentrate their firepower on Xing Chen and finish him off, then concentrate on the Corpse.


    But before this, someone had to hold back the corpse. However, could Zhao Feng really hold it back?


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­..


    Beng~ Sou-- Sou-- Sou--


    A few golden arrows flashed towards the Silver Striped Blood Corpse.


    Ding... Ding... Ding¡­


    The arrows all hit their target but sparks flew up instead. The Silver Striped Blood Corpse only slowed down for a second due to the arrows.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook, this Corpses¡¯ strength was definitely terrifying when it was at its peak. At this moment, even though it was weak, its body was still strong and it could withstand any attacks under the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Help me¡­ ¡±


    Huang Yun had lost an arm and he tried to escape using Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks as cover.


    ¡°Huang Yun! If you just want to run, then you¡¯ll definitely die. Team up with me and stop him!¡±


    Zhao Feng pulled his Golden Stairs Bow¡¯s string back and released more arrows while telling Huang Yun.


    Huang Yun was an elite at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm after all and he had a Mortal weapon which allowed him to challenge those at the 3rd Sky. If he teamed up with Zhao Feng, maybe they could fight back. But Huang Yun was too scared and he charged towards the exit of the cave.


    Craaaack!


    A purple light flashed and Huang Yun¡¯s body was ripped into half and the latter¡¯s screaming stopped.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold and shook his head while sighing: Looks like Huang Yun is indeed untrustworthy.

 152 Success

    Zhao Feng looked at the spoils of war in front of him - blood pills, beast skin map, blood sword. But he didn¡¯t let the Silver Striped Blood Corpse leave immediately and the latter obviously knew Zhao Feng¡¯s meaning.


    ¡°These are Blood Essence Pills that have been created from hundreds of cultivators at the 7th rank of the Consolidated Realm or higher, 4 cultivators at the Ascended Realm and tens of different rare plants. It has a certain effect for those under the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm. At the same time, it can dissolve the poison in your friends¡¯ bodies.¡± The Silver Striped Blood Corpse explained.


    Zhao Feng looked and saw that there was 4 perfect pills. It was hard to imagine that these tiny little things were created by hundreds of lives, just thinking about it made his heart cold.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you eat these and recover your strength?¡¯ Zhao Feng asked suspiciously.


    The Corpse smiled bitterly: ¡°These Blood Essence Pills only affect those under the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm. The Great Lord, I, only needed a few more resources to make the Blood Jade Pills, which were a whole new level better. But now all these are yours.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng smelled the Blood Essence Pill and he instantly became disdainful: ¡°The refining technique of the Blood Essence Pills is absolutely s***. Although this pill can improve one¡¯s cultivation in a short amount of time, it would cause hidden injuries to the body.¡±


    Zhao Feng was proficient in pill making. Just whiffing and touching the pills alone allowed him to guess the properties.


    The Silver Striped Blood Corpse paused. It didn¡¯t think that the troublesome brat in front of him would know how to create pills and mock his refining technique at the same time.


    ¡°Ignorant youngster! I didn¡¯t have any items to create these pills. They are extremely good!¡±


    The Silver Striped Blood Corpse had gone almost crazy. When had it ever been mocked by such a brat? Especially when its forte was pill making.


    One could create pills without a pill furnace?


    Zhao Feng looked at the Silver Striped Blood Corpse with a surprised expression on his face.


    ¡°This beast skin map is incomplete, but it has connections to a mysterious treasure. I¡¯ve studied it for tens and tens of years to no avail, so it doesn¡¯t really matter if I give it to you.¡± The Silver Striped Blood Corpse continued.


    Zhao Feng saw that the the map was incomplete and the drawing was like a maze, it was hard to find the real path.


    Shua!


    His left eye flashed and the contents on the beast skin were copied into his mind.


    The last item was the blood coloured broken sword. Just touching the sword lightly made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart feel cold and experience strong killing intent, and that killing intent almost made him lose consciousness.


    At the last moment, his left eye gave off a deep, ancient aura which suppressed the killing intent.


    ¡°What a terrifying aura.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t estimate what grade the weapon was. The Silver Striped Blood Corpse was slightly disappointed. It didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng, a youngster only at the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm, would be able to withstand the aura from a Spiritual weapon.


    ¡°It is a broken Spiritual Grade Weapon. When complete, it was near the High grade. But now it¡¯s only a Low grade weapon and it can only be used by those at the True Spirit Realm or higher.¡±


    The Silver Striped Blood Corpse looked unwillingly at the blood coloured sword.


    Spiritual Weapon? Near the High grade!?


    Zhao Feng was shocked as he now knew what grade the weapon was at. According to what he knew, the Broken Moon Clan did have Spiritual weapons but they were probably only Low grade Spiritual weapons and they were treasured by the Clan.


    In this world, items were split into different grades Mortal, Spiritual, Earth and Sky.


    Spiritual weapons were technically the highest category weapons that one could see in this continent and they had devastating power.


    Xu Ren¡¯s Jinyue Sword was only a Low grade Spiritual weapon, but it increased his battle power dramatically.


    The Golden Stairs Bow Zhao Feng had was only a half Mortal weapon. Mortal weapons were treasured weapons and Middle grade or higher weapons couldn¡¯t be found in the markets.


    ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s a Spiritual weapon¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly regretful and he didn¡¯t have any greed nor joy in his heart. A Spiritual weapon was too high level for him and it was virtually useless. Even if he was able to use it, the sword would probably suck out all his power.


    Furthermore, this sword wasn¡¯t simple; it could suck people¡¯s consciousness.


    If Zhao Feng had a choice, he would rather choose a whole low grade Mortal weapon or even a Middle grade Mortal weapon instead.


    ¡­¡­.


    After the spoils of war were gathered, Zhao Feng immediately followed the the Silver Striped Blood Corpse. When the latter walked past Lin Fan and co., a piercing glow shot out of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    The Silver Striped Blood Corpse thought that the power of the ancient bloodline was indeed terrifying; any small move that it made was found out.


    It had old injuries as well as new injuries, which made it extremely weak. It was scared that it would be killed by Zhao Feng, so it didn¡¯t make any rash moves.


    Zhao Feng followed it until the corpse reached the entrance of the cave.


    ¡°Youngster, was this array broken by you?¡± The Silver Striped Blood Corpse suddenly asked as it saw the broken array outside.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, what else do you have to say?¡±


    Facing the Silver Striped Blood Corpse, Zhao Feng still felt a great pressure on him and he didn¡¯t dare let his guard down. The opponent was a monster that had lived for hundred of years and was a Protector in the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, which could kill him with a wave of his hands back at its peak.


    ¡°Brat, your talent is far too great for your Clan. If you have the interest, you can enter the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. I believe that the Religion will once again sweep across the continent¡­ ¡±


    ¡°No thanks, goodbye!¡±


    Zhao Feng cut the Silver Striped Corpses¡¯ words off. But the latter wasn¡¯t surprised at all and it turned into a red figure as it sped out of the cave and merged into the night.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­ Brat surnamed Zhao, the Great Lord, I, have remembered you.¡±


    Before it left, a wicked laugh sounded.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. But thinking that the Silver Striped Blood Corpse would first find somewhere to hide, it wouldn¡¯t appear for quite a while. Furthermore, this was in the territories of the Broken Moon Clan and if the Corpse was found, it would be killed by the 13 Clans combined.


    ¡­¡­¡­.


    Zhao Feng returned to the cave and went to Lin Fan and co.


    The three had all fought hard battles and they were tired. The addition of the corpse poison made them faint.


    Zhao Feng lifted them up and put them against the wall.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, where did that corpse go?¡±


    Lin Fan was somehow the first to awaken. At this moment, Zhao Feng had put his eyepatch back on and he was still the same old, one-eyed azure haired youth.


    ¡°The old injuries of the Silver Striped Blood Corpse came back mid-battle and it ran away.¡± Zhao Feng just simply said.


    Lin Fan looked at him deeply, but he didn¡¯t say anything. He remembered an azure-haired youth taking off his eyepatch facing the corpse before he fainted. Even while he had fainted, he could feel the shaking outside. Furthermore, there were signs of battle nearby.


    Lin Fan knew that the battle that was going on while he had fainted wasn¡¯t that simple.


    Soon, Xiao Sun and Xu Ren both woke. The stronger one¡¯s will was, the faster they woke and Lin Fan had the strongest will. After waking up, the corpse poison still spread out throughout their bodies and the three tried eating the Detoxification pills from the Clan. But it was to no avail.


    ¡°It¡¯s probably too late to call the Clan for help now. We need at least a few days time to return to Sky Moon Mountain¡­ and we¡¯ve already been infected by the poison, which makes it hard for us to move¡­ ¡±


    The three were in despair and fear.


    ¡°Brother Zhao! If we can¡¯t find the method to save us in 3 days, kill us!¡± Lin Fan grinded his teeth.


    Once the corpse poison went into their bones, they would become zombies that lost all consciousness and they would attack anything they saw.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, why haven¡¯t you been poisoned?¡± Xu Ren asked curiously.


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because my body is different.¡±


    Zhao Feng took three blood essence pills out and handed it over.


    What¡¯s this?


    Lin Fan, Xiao Sun and Xu Ren took over the pills with hesitation.


    ¡°This was dropped by the Blood Corpse Sub-Division Protector when it escaped. I¡¯ve analysed the contents and it can diffuse your poison as well increase your cultivation.¡± Zhao Feng explained.


    Hearing this,Xu Ren and Xiao Sun were both hesitant... did they dare to eat the pills from the Corpse?


    ¡°I believe in Brother Zhao! If we¡¯re going to die anyways, why not try it!?¡±


    Lin Fan decisively ate the blood essence pill. Soon, a surge of pure energy appeared from Lin Fan.


    ¡°This pill is indeed effective! Not only did it diffuse the poison, it also increase my cultivation!¡± Lin Fan said and he was overjoyed.


    Xu Ren and Xiao Sun were both stunned. They immediately ate the blood essence pills and they found that it could indeed diffuse the poison.


    ¡°This Blood Essence Pill is probably a true Spiritual pill and it is much better than Marrow Cleansing Pills.¡±


    Zhao Feng silently took the last pill. He knew about the blood essence pill. Although it could increase one¡¯s cultivation in a short amount of time, the foundation wouldn¡¯t be solid so it wasn¡¯t good to overtake them. Furthermore, the Silver Striped Blood Corpse didn¡¯t use a pill furnace when refining these, so their standard wasn¡¯t high. Therefore, Zhao Feng generously gave out 3 for them to diffuse their poison.


    Xu Ren and co. were extremely grateful towards Zhao Feng and their feuds from before were gone. If Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t here on this mission, they would¡¯ve died many times.


    Half a day later.


    Everyone had diffused the poison in their bodies and the strong medicinal energy from the blood essence pill increased their body¡¯s attributes.


    Zhao Feng estimated that he would need a few more days to reach the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°This mission will probably rise to 4 stars. Plus, we¡¯ve also found a stronghold of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion!¡±


    Xiao Sun was extremely excited, it was like he could already see the Clan heavily rewarding him. Everyone was laughing and they weren¡¯t sympathetic towards Huang Yun¡¯s death.


    ¡°If we was to perfectly complete this mission, I think we should capture Xing Chen.¡± Lin Fan suggested.


    ¡°That¡¯s simple.¡±


    Zhao Feng was completely confident because he knew that the Xing family head was seriously injured and he wouldn¡¯t be able to run far.


    As he finished his sentence, Zhao Feng immediately left the cave.


    Half an hour later.


    Zhao Feng brought back Xing Chen, who was on his last breaths, back to the cave.


    This scene caused everyone¡¯s jaws to drop.


    That was way too fast!


    It was hard to imagine what kind of tracking skills Zhao Feng had.


    In reality, Zhao Feng had already memorised the entire layout of the Xing family before he entered the place. And with his left eye, he saw the tracks of Xing Chen¡¯s hurried footsteps.

 153 Questioning

    With Xing Chen being caught, this mission came to an end.


    Next, they began to question him. He was pale white and was on his last breaths. He looked at Zhao Feng in fear.


    After escaping from the cave luckily, Xing Chen used the familiar terrains to his advantage and he soon found a hidden resting spot. Xing Chen was sure that only he knew about the hiding spot. Furthermore, there were many traps and mechanisms here so that even if someone followed, he would know.


    However, these traps and mechanisms were like air in front of this azure haired one-eyed youth. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t touch any of the traps and he had entered the hiding spot. Xing Chen immediately attacked when he saw Zhao Feng. Xing Chen thought that with his 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm cultivation, he would only need one move to win, even though he was severely injured.


    However, it didn¡¯t go plan. Instead of beating the opponent in a few moves, he himself was caught by the azure haired youth in a few moves.


    Thinking about how he had been caught alive by a youth at the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm, Xing Chen was still full of shock and fear. Under their questioning, he answered everything.


    It all started a few months ago.


    At that time, he was as calm as usual and he was still at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    On a certain day, Xing Chen was chasing a peak tier deadly beast and he found the Illusion array of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    He was proficient in arrays, so after spending a lot of time, he entered the array through its flaws.


    ¡°... I was full of excitement and joy as I entered the cave. But I met the Protector of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. At that time, the Protector was extremely weak because it had just woken up and it wasn¡¯t my match. But it was extremely cunning and used treasures to lure me.¡±


    Speaking up to here, Xing Cheng sighed, he was full of regret.


    Zhao Feng could guess what the rest of the story was.


    Xing Chen accidentally got hit by the corpse poison and he was threatened by the Blood Corpse sub-division Protector.


    After that, Xing Chen listened to the orders of the Protector to live as well as increase his own cultivation.


    In just a few months time, the Xing family head had reached the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm and he wanted to join the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    ¡°Where did the plague come from and what¡¯s its purpose?¡± Xu Ren asked suspiciously.


    Xing Chen was full of bitterness: ¡°The plague was spread by how the Protector ordered to and its purpose was to create blood essence pills as well as blood jade pills. At the same time, the plague could attract cultivators of the Ascended Realm and if everything went to plan, the Blood Jade pills could be made. Then the Protectors¡¯ injuries would heal a bit and it would recover its cultivation back to the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm. At that time, we would leave the cave and find the other strongholds of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡­ ¡±


    Knowing the truth, the four started to sweat. This mission was just a bait luring disciples of the Clan. This mission was at least at 4 stars, something that Yuan Zhi and Quan Chen didn¡¯t expect either.


    Zhao Feng analysed that some of the information and reports on the mission were withheld.


    Before they left, there were already several cultivators at the Ascended Realm who had came here, but they had mysteriously vanished and became blood essence pills.


    The true danger involved was much greater than imagined and it was at least a 3 star mission.


    Yuan Zhi and Quan Chen hid this and used Huang Yun to group Xu Ren and Xiao Sun together with Zhao Feng and Lin Fan.


    It could be imagined that Huang Yun, Xu Ren and Xiao Sun would suppress Zhao Feng in the mission. Huang Yun listened to Yuan Zhi and his aim was to take care off Zhao Feng. Lin Fan was extremely unlucky and he was sent on this mission as well.


    ¡­..


    No one was idiots here and knowing what had happened, the truth began to surface.


    The lucky thing was that Zhao Feng had turned the tide and saved everyone.


    ¡°Lin Fan and Xiao Sun, you two return to the Sky Moon Mountain and tell the high authorities of the Clan everything. I¡¯ll stay here with Brother Zhao Feng to guard this place and the prisoner.¡± Vice leader Xu Ren said.


    This was decided by him and Zhao Feng.


    After Huang Yun¡¯s death, Zhao Feng became the core of the group and everyone else was grateful to him. Because Lin Fan and Xiao Sun¡¯s strength were low, they were sent back to the Broken Moon Clan. Since Zhao Feng and Xu Ren were stronger, they would guard the prisoner and the stronghold.


    In this period, Zhao Feng and Xu Ren ravaged the cave and they found many resources and primal crystal stones.


    ¡°A total of 23 low-grade primal crystal stones, 98 resources, 100 or so broken mortal weapons¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng and Xu Ren placed the spoils of war in categories.


    The primal crystal stones were all low grade and every stone was worth 100 substandard primal crystal stones.


    23 low grade primal crystal stones meant 2300 substandard primal crystal stones. That alone surpassed the reward.


    The remaining resources and mortal weapons were all expensive and they summed up to a total of 100 low-grade primal crystal stones, which was 10000 substandard primal crystal stones.


    ¡°Hahaha! Brother Zhao, we¡¯re rich!¡±


    Xu Ren was overjoyed.


    The spoils of war were a large amount of wealth for the 4. One had to know that normal inner disciples only received 10 substandard primal crystal stones and according to the rules, the spoils of war were split amongst the group.


    Even if they split it evenly, Zhao Feng estimated that he would get at least 30 low grade primal crystal stones. They contained pure energy, which was great for cultivating.


    As for these spoils of war, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really mind. The only thing that he felt troublesome was the broken blood coloured sword.


    The price of a Spiritual Weapon couldn¡¯t be estimated and it was extremely treasured by the Clans.


    The broken blood coloured sword was useless in his hands and on the contrary, it would only cause him trouble.


    Zhao Feng was thinking about how he could gain the greatest profit from this broken blood coloured sword.


    ¡­¡­


    A few days later, Lin Fan and Xiao Sun returned to the Clan and told them everything about the stronghold of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    This news shocked the whole Broken Moon Clan.


    The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was a giant power several hundred years ago and every force feared this religion. The Broken Moon Clan was only a tiny Clan in this continent and it was an ant in front of the true Sects.


    Now, a stronghold of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had been found in their borders. After hearing the news, several Elders leading a group of elite disciples headed straight to the Xing family.


    Zhao Feng and Xu Ren guarded the Scarlet Moon Demonic Cave for 4-5 days and nothing happened. On the last night, the people from the Broken Moon Clan arrived.


    From far away, Zhao Feng could already feel 3 terrifying mental strengths closing in.


    ¡°Greetings Elder!¡±


    Zhao Feng and Xu Ren immediately bowed because the three were all at the True Spirit Realm.


    The person in the middle was an old man, who seemed like a god as a layer of green wind surrounded him which soon faded away.


    Of the three, this person¡¯s aura was the strongest.


    Seeing this person, Xu Ren¡¯s heart skipped a beat: ¡°1st¡­ 1st Elder!¡±


    1st Elder held one of the highest positions in the Clan and he had almost the same authority as the Clan Master.


    On the left of the 1st Elder was a man clad in gold. This person was familiar and Zhao Feng soon realised that he was the Elder Xue from the talent testing and Sun Yuanhao¡¯s master.


    On the right hand side was a handsome man in white. After seeing this Elder, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye jumped.


    The youngest Elder of the Broken Moon Clan!


    Hai Yun Master!


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He had imagined that he would meet Hai Yun Master one day, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be so early.


    1st Elder, Elder Xue, Hai Yun Master.


    The three Elders led a group of elites and they went straight into the cave, In the group, Zhao Feng saw some familiar figures such as Yuan Zhi and Quan Chen.


    ¡°Master!¡±


    Yuan Zhi and Quan Chen came to Hai Yun Master¡¯s left and right.


    The disciples started searching from the inside out and the area in which they searched slowly increased.


    Their aim was the Blood Corpse sub-division Protector.


    Xing Chen had also been held and questioned by the 3 at the True Spirit Realm. In front of those at the True Spirit Realm, Xing Chen didn¡¯t dare lie and he told the truth.


    Zhao Feng, Xu Ren, Xiao Sun and Lin Fan were all questioned since they were the ones who found this place.


    Amongst them,l Zhao Feng was questioned the most.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng was the one who broke the array. Secondly, he was the the one who saw the Silver Striped Blood Corpse run away. Thirdly, the entire process was saw by him and him only.


    ¡­¡­


    This meant that Zhao Feng had seen what the others had seen and he saw what the others didn¡¯t see. Especially at the end when everyone had just fainted leaving behind only Zhao Feng to face the corpse.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s explanation was that the Silver Striped Blood Corpses¡¯ old injuries had once again opened and he was pushed back.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Your cultivation is the lowest of the group, so how did you last till the end? How could you block the corpse poison? How did you control the entire situation?¡±


    Yuan Zhi laughed coldly and he sent his aura crushing down.


    Hearing this, the eyes of all 3 Elders all flashed.


    That¡¯s right! Zhao Feng was suspicious!


    Under everyone¡¯s gazes, Zhao Feng was extremely calm: ¡°It¡¯s simple¡­"

 156 Scarlet Moon

    A few hundred years ago, a super power was formed by a legend and in just tens of years, the power swept across the continent.


    That super faction had almost unified the continent and the strongest 10 Clans in the continent had to team up together to resist. That era belonged to the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and its leader - Scarlet Moon Patriarch.


    Even though the Patriarch was wicked, he created miracles time after time, and he made everyone else fear and respect him. There was still many who worshipped the Sovereign of Wickedness.


    In the hearts of fans, the Scarlet Moon Patriarch was a god. Of course, it wasn¡¯t all achieved by talent, there also needed to be ¡®luck¡¯.


    The Scarlet Moon Patriarch didn¡¯t have a Sky or Earth Spiritual Body. According to a somewhat inaccurate script, he only had a Middle tier Spiritual Body.


    His achievements all originated from one thing. That was the Scarlet Moon Inheritance. The Scarlet Moon Inheritance allowed the Scarlet Moon Patriarch to change his destiny. The religion he created used this as a basis.


    The Scarlet Moon Inheritance was ranked 3rd out of the 4 Great Inheritances and the only one that seemed to gain something from these inheritances was the Scarlet Moon Patriarch.


    Apparently, before the cult was destroyed, the Scarlet Moon Patriarch recorded every secret about the Scarlet Moon Inheritance on a map that was later named the ¡®Scarlet Moon Map¡¯.


    As long as one obtained this map and decoded it, they could find the Scarlet Moon Inheritance. However, the Scarlet Moon Map was purposely split into 108 pieces and spread throughout the continent. Many people had parts of the map, but no one had ever got all 108 of them.


    This was because there were only 70-80 or so pieces found across the continent and the remaining 40-50 hadn¡¯t ever been seen.


    The Scarlet Moon Map was extremely mystical, even if one had 107, the Scarlet Moon Inheritance wouldn¡¯t open.


    Several hundred years later, people weren¡¯t as excited as before. Of course, if one had a real copy of the Scarlet Moon map, it still had a high value.


    ¡­..


    And the Scarlet Moon map in front of their eyes seemed to be real. The value of this map had already surpassed the Spiritual weapon, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t regret giving it out.


    Firstly, there¡¯s no point in having only one piece. Secondly, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t use it even though its value was high. On the contrary, people would kill him for it.


    This was the same reason that he gave up the Spiritual weapon as well.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the two items you¡¯ve just handed over are extremely rare. The Clan will give you a large reward for this, ask what you want.¡± 1st Elder was full of smiles.


    Hearing this, all the other disciples were envious and jealous.


    Zhao Feng had done too much!


    A Spiritual weapon was the most treasured item in small Clans and a piece of the Scarlet Moon map surpassed even a Spiritual item.


    Elder Xue was curious: ¡°According to the rules, the spoils of war go to the individuals. Why didn¡¯t you take it yourself, and instead gave it to the Clan instead?¡±


    ¡°A Spiritual weapon isn¡¯t something that I can control. Furthermore, I didn¡¯t know this maps¡¯ value beforehand. Disciple here thought that maybe the Clan needs them more.¡± Zhao Feng answered.


    Hearing this, both 1st Elder and Elder Xue nodded their heads: This Zhao Feng isn¡¯t greedy and is smart.


    If it was another disciple, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to suppress their greed and hold onto the Spiritual sword, which would cause others to kill them.


    ¡°And the spoils of war aren¡¯t mine alone. Everyone in the team has a share.¡± Zhao Feng continued as Lin Fan, Xiao Sun and Xu Ren were filled with gratitude.


    Although everyone knew that Zhao Feng had contributed the most and the reward would go to him, the latter had still shared it.


    On the other side, Quan Chen was so angry that his face had turned green and the blood vessels in his eyes could be seen.


    Zhao Feng had done so much and his reward made the eyes of even Core disciples turn red.


    Hai Yun Master glanced coldly at Zhao Feng, but he soon hid it away.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s talent, talent, attitude were all perfect and no gaps were found. If the Clan didn¡¯t give Zhao Feng a massive reward, how would other disciples give items to the Clan?


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we¡¯ve decided to give you 200 low-grade primal crystal stones and 50000 contribution points. All your team members will get 50 low-grade primal crystal stones and 8000 points. Apart from that, the Clan can grant you a wish.¡± 1st Elder announced.


    Hearing this, the crowd broke out into chaos.


    ¡°200 low-grade primal crystal stones, that¡¯s 20000 substandard primal crystal stones. I won¡¯t even be able to earn that much in my whole life.¡±


    The disciples were all envious and jealous.


    20000 substandard primal crystal stones!


    The sum made the eyes of Core disciples turn red and it made Deacons and Vice Heads envious.


    Core disciples only received 100 substandard primal crystal stones a month, which was 1 low-grade primal crystal stone. Their true income came from their families or their missions.


    Apart from that, 50000 contribution points was also a small fortune.


    One had to know the Hollow Building only needed 5000 points to enter once. 3000 points could buy a Low-grade Mortal weapon.


    With the amount of primal stones and contribution points Zhao Feng and co. had they could buy many items to increase their strength. Lin Fan and others were full of joy and excitement - they had done almost nothing and got such a big reward.


    1st Elder took their expressions into account and smiled as well.


    In reality, the rewards were nothing compared to the map and Spiritual weapon and it wasn¡¯t that 1st Elder didn¡¯t think of giving them more. Giving them more would only bring others to kill them.


    Therefore, the amount of contribution points he gave surpassed the primal crystal stones.


    ¡°200 low-grade primal crystal stones and 50000 contribution points. That¡¯s enough for any normal disciple to live well in the Clan for tens of years.¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely satisfied. Of course, his biggest prize was the ¡®wish¡¯.


    He could ¡®wish¡¯ for something suitable and as long as it wasn¡¯t too much, the Clan would agree.


    What should I get for this wish?


    Zhao Feng had two thoughts:


    1. Get the 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique. This body strengthening technique was apparently a peak tier Mortal skill, which even Core disciples didn¡¯t have the right to learn.


    2. Become the disciple of an Elder or the Sect Master. Zhao Feng believed that any of these two wishes were in the Clan¡¯s acceptable range.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you don¡¯t have to wish right now. You can go back and think about it then ask the Clan later.¡± 1st Elder smiled.


    ¡°I have one.¡± Zhao Feng said decisively and he instantly made a decision.


    ¡°Oh? Say it.¡±


    The 3 Elders all looked at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your wish can¡¯t be too much.¡±


    Hai Yun Master purposely gave Zhao Feng some pressure, because the former already felt slightly pressured by the latter.


    If it was someone else, it didn¡¯t matter but this person was Lord Guanjun¡¯s disciple. And this wasn¡¯t something he wanted to see.


    ¡°I hope that 1st Elder can become my Master.¡± Zhao Feng said strongly.


    Master?


    All three Elders paused and Hai Yun Master was the first to react: ¡°Zhao Feng do you think 1st Elder takes disciples easily? Even those with High-grade Spiritual bodies don¡¯t have the right to become 1st Elders¡¯ disciple.¡±


    As soon as he finished, a large mental strength pressured Zhao Feng.


    His meaning was clear: even those who had High-grade Spiritual bodies didn¡¯t have the right to become 1st Elders¡¯ disciple, so how could someone like you, who has a Low-grade Spiritual body, become one?


    Zhao Feng felt his blood freeze, like a giant was standing in front of him.


    When one reached the True Spirit Realm, they weren¡¯t normal humans anymore. Compared to normal humans, they were giants.


    At this moment, 1st Elder and Elder Xue didn¡¯t say anything. Zhao Feng was extremely curious as to what went wrong.


    His deeds should be enough to become a disciple of 1st Elder. The reason he chose this was because he needed a strong background just like Lord Guanjun had told him before. Only this way would the threat from Hai Yun Master drop.


    ¡­¡­


    At this moment, they fell into silence and the 1st Elder didn¡¯t speak.


    ¡°Talent isn¡¯t everything or else the Clan wouldn¡¯t give the top outer disciple special rewards. If 1st Elder is willing to take me as his disciple, I won¡¯t regret it.¡± Zhao Feng said confidently.


    He had an ancient bloodline, which was only stronger than a peak tier Spiritual Body. Even the Blood Corpse Protector was shocked at his bloodline.


    ¡°Haha, 1st Elder won¡¯t take you as his disciple. But if you¡¯re willing, I will.¡± Elder Xue laughed lightly and broke the tense atmosphere.


    Zhao Feng thought that 1st Elder probably had something that he couldn¡¯t say. But his aim was to become a disciple of any Elder, not just the 1st Elder.


    ¡°Zhao Feng I¡¯m also willing to take you as my disciple.¡± Hai Yun Master suddenly said with a smile.


    Ahh!


    This scene not only shocked Zhao Feng, even Quan Chen and Yuan Zhi¡¯s jaw dropped wide open.

 157 Goal Achieved

    At one time, two Elders were both willing to take Zhao Feng as their disciple. But the latter wanted 1st Elder.


    1st Elder stood where he was and he didn¡¯t say anything.


    Zhao Feng was caught off guard by Hai Yun Master. If Elder Xue took him as a disciple that was fine, but now it was troublesome with Hai Yun Master wanting to take him as a disciple as well.


    The latter had a deep smile on his face and Zhao Feng immediately understood what he meant.


    Hai Yun Master was giving Zhao Feng ¡®a chance¡¯ to join his side like with Bei Moi. Like this, he would crush Lord Guanjun beneath his feet once again. If the latter knew about it, he would definitely spit out blood due to rage.


    At the same time, he was forcing Zhao Feng to make a decision.


    If Zhao Feng chose Elder Xue, it meant that there was no return. They would be enemies and Hai Yun Master would suppress or dispose of him.


    ¡°Hahaha, Brother Hai Yun, you¡¯re interested in Zhao Feng as well? If he¡¯s willing, he can be your disciple.¡± Elder Xue paused then started laughing.


    Zhao Feng thought s***.


    The situation wasn¡¯t good!


    At this time, he had seen through everything.


    1. 1st Elder didn¡¯t want to take a disciple due to a certain reason.


    2. Elder Xue wasn¡¯t sincere.


    3. Hai Yun Master had some tricks up his sleeve.


    The most important point was number 2.


    Elder Xue suggested taking Zhao Feng as a disciple to calm the atmosphere down and when Hai Yun Master suggested that he would take Zhao Feng as a disciple, he had answered without hesitation.


    So Elder Xue couldn¡¯t be trusted. From the point of him taking Sun Yuanhao as a disciple, it meant that he looked at talent heavily.


    ¡°If I become a disciple of Elder Xue and becomes enemies with Hai Yun Master, the former might not protect me. On the contrary, he might even dispose of me to have a good relationship with Hai Yun Master.¡± Zhao Feng soon concluded.


    Elder Xue wasn¡¯t trustworthy and he only suggested this to please 1st Elder. If he took Hai Yun Master as his mentor, he would be like a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger.


    Zhao Feng soon decided:


    Change a wish instead of taking either one as his master.


    1st Elder was someone who didn¡¯t take disciples simply and he didn¡¯t promise easily. People like that would do all they could when one was recognised by them.


    Unfortunately¡­


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart and he made his choice.


    He chose to swap it with another wish, instead of taking Elder Xue or Hai Yun master as his mentor.


    This decision caused the other disciples to be stunned. How great an honour was it to have an Elder as your Master?


    Xu Ren, Xiao Sun and Lin Fan were all regretful. But they were not Zhao Feng and they couldn¡¯t choose for him.


    1st Elders¡¯ eyes glinted and finally spoke: ¡°You forgoing this wish is forcing me to go back on my word. But I¡¯ve vowed to never take a disciple anymore.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng finally understood. No wonder 1st Elder was silent when he heard Zhao Feng¡¯s wish and both Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master tried to please him.


    But no matter how people or the Heavens calculated, Zhao Feng had rejected both and he would rather have another wish.


    This meant that no matter whether 1st Elder agreed or not, he was going back on his word.


    ¡°You must agree to something if you become my disciple.¡± 1st Elder continued.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that the situation would suddenly change.


    ¡°Give-up-Lightning-Wind-Palm!¡± 1st Elder said one word at a time.


    Zhao Feng was stunned - why would he want Zhao Feng to give Lightning Wind up?


    Why did he choose to not take in any more disciples?


    Suddenly, everything clicked.


    Zhao Feng remembered what Sister Yuan had said: ¡°Yang Gan had a friend who had trained the Lightning Wind Palm, but later¡­ ¡±


    Back at the gathering, Yang Gan had warned Zhao Feng: Life is more precious than Lightning Wind Palm.


    Could it be that Yang Gan was 1st Elder¡¯s disciples? And that his friend was also one, but he had trained the Lightning Wind Palm and died?


    ¡°1st Elder, are you Yang Gan¡¯s mentor?¡± Zhao Feng asked carefully.


    Yang Gan was ranked 2nd out of the 10 Core disciples and the second Zhao Feng spoke out, everyone nearby nodded their heads.


    1st Elder was silent and his eyes became dim. Zhao Feng caught a tinge of hate and pain from his eyes. It could be imagined that the person who had trained the Lightning Wind Palm was definitely a prodigy, but he had passed away due to this skill.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, what¡¯s giving up a skill to become 1st Elders¡¯ disciple?¡±


    At this time, old man Zhang of the Clan Mission Division couldn¡¯t resist coming over and warning him. He was, after all Zhao Feng¡¯s teacher.


    ¡°Give up Lightning Wind Palm?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were full of decisiveness.


    How could his will be swayed by others?


    Zhao Feng never regretted choosing this skill. During cultivation, he would always use his left eye to scan for flaws and push the danger to a minimum.


    He once analysed that the Lightning Wind Palm was roughly created, like the creator hadn¡¯t perfected it yet. Therefore, Zhao Feng was not only training this skill, he was perfecting and improving it.


    ¡°You must not be willing! You¡¯re too similar to Chen¡¯er back then, he had the same expression as you back then and he said the same thing¡­ if I didn¡¯t take him as my disciple, I would regret it!¡± 1st Elder looked complexly at Zhao Feng, like he was someone else.


    ¡°Elder! I will promise what he said before too. What he couldn¡¯t finish, I will.¡±


    A surge of confidence appeared from Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Arrogant!¡±


    ¡°Lies!¡±


    The second the words left his mouth, the nearby people started shouting. Even the eyebrows of the two Elders rose.


    Some were worried that Zhao Feng would be washed away in 1st Elder¡¯s anger but he wasn¡¯t worried at all.


    Because at this moment, he had become the perfect substitute for the most cared disciple of 1st Elder.


    ¡°You do have some points that are different to his.¡± 1st Elder inspected Zhao Feng and laughed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Could 1st Elder see through that he had been using the latter¡¯s emotions?


    ¡°You¡¯re the same as him, confident to such a degree that you could be said to be arrogant. There¡¯s one difference, you¡¯re calm.¡±


    1st Elder stared at Zhao Feng for a long time before speaking.


    Calm.


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s main change ever since the mysterious left eye had merged with him. No matter how much he achieved, he would never lose himself in power. The arrogance he showed before was to reach his goal.


    Zhao Feng stared at 1st Elder and the latter had extremely complex emotions as he struggled to choose.


    After a long time, he let out a breath: ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to give up the Lightning Wind Palm, I can only take you as a Outer disciple of mine. Of course, if you¡¯re unwilling, you can take other Elders as your mentor too or you can change your wish. I¡¯ve done the most I could.¡±


    Most I could.


    Zhao Feng understood how 1st Elder felt. His favourite disciple had died due to learning the Lightning Wind Palm and he had vowed to never take another disciple.


    However, he had promised Zhao Feng a wish and the latter¡¯s wish wasn¡¯t unacceptable.


    Therefore, 1st Elder stepped back and told Zhao Feng that if he gave up the Lightning Wind Palm, he would take Zhao Feng as a disciple. How would he be willing to see the same situation happen again?


    But the problem was Zhao Feng was too similar to his previous disciple. After struggling for a long time, 1st Elder could only promise to take Zhao Feng as an Outer disciple.


    The difference between outer and core disciples were huge. The former was master-disciple in name and even if the disciple sinned heavily, it wouldn¡¯t affect the master.


    ¡­..


    ¡°Disciple greets Master.¡±


    Without hesitation, Zhao Feng bowed down but he was stopped by 1st Elder: ¡°Only core disciples need to be so respectful.¡±


    1st Elder didn¡¯t want to put too many emotions on Zhao Feng, because the latter had trained the Lightning Wind Palm that was like a bomb.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and he only had one reason to wanting 1st Elder as his master - he had a strong background!


    From his point of view, an outer disciple of 1st Elder was better than a core disciple of Elder Xue.


    Firstly, 1st Elder had a high authority and he didn¡¯t take many disciples. Furthermore, many didn¡¯t dare to even touch his outer disciples. Secondly, 1st Elder was trustworthy. Even if Zhao Feng was an outer disciple, he would still protect the latter.


    After becoming the Elders disciple, Zhao Feng could feel the envious gazes of the other disciples nearby.


    Even though he was only an outer disciple of 1st Elder, this still made others jealous. The Elder didn¡¯t take many disciples and Zhao Feng was the only disciple apart from Yang Gan.


    Furthermore, 1st Elder¡¯s authority was much higher than other Elders and the Clan Master even respected him.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that this brat succeeded¡­ ¡±


    Hai Yun Master paused slightly as his eyebrows scrunched up and he felt like this just got much more troublesome. 1st Elder¡¯s position was unique in the Clan and even though Zhao Feng was only an outer disciple, his treatment wouldn''t be any worse than that of core disciples of other Elders.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart relaxed. He had achieved the 2nd goal set by Lord Guanjun.


    1. Become an inner disciple.


    2. Find a strong background.


    His ¡®background¡¯ wasn¡¯t just strong, this could be seen from Yuan Zhi and Quan Chen¡¯s wary eyes.


    ¡­.


    For the next few days, the Broken Moon Clan searched thousands of miles around the Xing family to find the Blood Corpse Protector, but it was to no avail. The latter was severely injured and it shouldn¡¯t be able to run more than a couple hundred miles. But no one even saw its shadow, even though Elders were even sent out.


    The Broken Moon Clan didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng had a 50-60% chance of finding traces of the corpse.


    But unfortunately, Zhao Feng¡¯s goals were all achieved¡­ He had been high key for too long and it was time to go low key, to absorb everything he had and cultivate¡­

 158 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique

    For one and a half months, the Broken Moon Clan searched the Xing family area, but there was no sign of the corpse.


    The search area increased bit by bit, but the chances of finding it became smaller.


    The 3 Elders finally left one by one and over half of the disciples left.


    Zhao Feng was also in the group that returned to the Broken Moon Clan.


    3 days later, the elite members of the Clan left.


    A weird ¡®thok thok¡¯ sound could be heard from under a grave in the Xing family place.


    If one surveyed the area from above, they would see a weird scene:


    The blood of the corpses had all sunk into the soil and formed a queer that path, which met up at the end. These corpses were all those who had died in the Xing family and although they had been burnt to ashes, their blood had already fallen into the soil.


    Being one of the biggest families, the average grown man¡¯s cultivation was at least at the 2nd rank of the Consolidated Realm or higher.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ the most dangerous place is the safest place. The Blood Plague Essence Gathering Array had been set up a few months ago - it was in my plans to be found out by the Clan.¡±


    A Silver Striped Blood Corpse lifted itself off the ground. Being a Blood Corpse Protector. it had lived for hundreds of years and it had exceeded the limits of ¡®human¡¯ and turned to a ¡®half-dead¡¯. Therefore, his lifespan was also several times higher than others at the True Spirit Realm¡­


    After seeing the sun again, the Silver Striped Blood Corpses¡¯ aura was much stronger than before and it had recovered its strength back to the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    The Silver Striped Blood Corpse smiled wickedly and it licked its lips.


    In his plan. he already knew that the Clan would search for him, but the only problem was Zhao Feng.


    The more he thought about how he had given all his possessions to that brat the angrier he got. However, he didn¡¯t know that he had also walked near the doors of death.


    Zhao Feng became extremely low key after getting his reward and he didn¡¯t use his left eye when searching. Or else Zhao Feng would be able to find the Blood Plague Essence Gathering Array in the soil.


    ¡­¡­


    A few days later.


    The group of elites returned to Sky Moon Mountain.


    From far away, Zhao Feng could see the Floating Crest Palace amidst the lightning.


    ¡°There¡¯s still two more months till the Floating Crest Trial starts.¡±


    A few of the disciples looked at the azure palace with expectancy.


    The date of the Floating Crest Palace was closing in and this Trial was a turning point for the disciples who didn¡¯t have a strong background. If they grasped this chance well, they could change their destiny.


    ¡°I must enter the Floating Crest Trial.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s decision couldn¡¯t be swayed.


    The once every 5 years Clan examination, as well as the once every 5 years Floating Crest Trial were both extremely important. If one missed any of them, they would be left behind and 5 years was too long for Zhao Feng.


    Ever since Zhao Feng had merged with the mysterious left eye, his path had been great: Entered the Guanjun Palace after a few months at the Zhao family and he had entered the Clan after a few months at the Guanjun Palace.


    After a few months in this Clan, he had reached this height.


    One year ago, he was only 13 years old, not even 14 back at the Zhao family. One year later, he had successfully entered the Clan at only 14 years of age.


    The destiny of one changed like so. Or else, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm from the 1st rank of the Consolidation Realm in a year.


    His cultivation could be compared with the prodigies in the Clans.


    After returning, Zhao Feng parted ways with Lin Fan and co.


    Lin Fan was the last to leave: ¡°Brother Zhao, you not only saved me many times this mission, you also gave me such rewards. Such gratitude shall be repaid.¡±


    Sending Lin Fan away with his eyes, Zhao Feng with into deep thought.


    He didn¡¯t have many friends in the Clan and Nan Gongfan as well as Yang Qingshan weren¡¯t strong.


    It was Lin Fan who had woken before Xiao Sun and Xu Ren, meaning that he had a strong will. The two worked great together as well. When Zhao Feng had mysteriously disappeared, only Lin Fan had questioned Huang Yun. Lin Fan didn¡¯t know that this one thought of Zhao Feng¡¯s changed his destiny.


    ¡­..


    In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed by and the Broken Moon Clan settled down. The news of finding a Scarlet Moon stronghold spread to the 12 other Clans and they all discussed what to do.


    Of course, this had nothing to do with Zhao Feng anymore.


    The first thing he did was to buy cultivation resources with his contribution points and primal crystal stones to increase his cultivation.


    After reaching the 10th level of the Silver Wall Technique, the progressing speed slowed down dramatically, like the speed of a snail.


    The 11th level was the highest level and one could obtain a perfect body.


    From its description, when one reached the 11th level, they could face cultivators at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm with just their body alone.


    Zhao Feng thought that he needed to spend 100-200 substandard primal crystal stones to achieve this. But after spending near 1000 primal crystal stones, the goal still wasn¡¯t reached.


    Spending near a thousand primal crystal stones and thousands of contribution points only pushed him to the peak 10th level, half a step from the 11th.


    Zhao Feng sighed and he couldn¡¯t believe that after using so many precious resources, the progression of his body strengthening technique was still slow. There weren¡¯t many cultivators who focused on body strengthening because it was just too hard.


    ¡°I still have 22000 or so substandard primal crystal stones left. I should be able to succeed if I spend another 500.¡± Zhao Feng calculated.


    He did get a decent reward from the mission last time, but the primal crystal stones needed to be used wisely, especially as the Floating Crest Trial was coming up.


    If he bought the materials and created the pills himself, Zhao Feng could save a lot of primal crystal stones. But every second right now was precious.


    The Floating Crest Trial was most important. He didn¡¯t regret spending these primal crystal stones.


    A few days later.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Silver Wall Technique finally reached the 11th level.


    To achieve this, he spent around 2000 substandard primal crystal stones which was around 20 low-grade primal crystal stones.


    Of course, the increase in strength was great as well.


    ¡°Perfect body.¡±


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged on the ground and he circulated his body strengthening technique. Instantly, a thin layer of silver appeared on his body, which sent off a dense aura.


    He was able to fight those at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm with just his body alone. His defence was also terrifying, he could be thrown into a fire and he would be unharmed in a short amount of time.


    While Zhao Feng trained his body strengthening technique, he was also working on his Heavenly Wind God Technique, the High tier Mortal skill. He had trained it to the 4th level out of 6 and the higher level one reached, the purer their True Force was.


    After reaching the 4th level, the purity was comparable to those at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm, but it lacked in quantity.


    It was hard to imagine that Zhao Feng¡¯s True Force was as pure as those who were at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    In the past month, both Silver Wall Technique and Heavenly Wind God Technique had increased steadily and it was the Lightning Wind Palm that progressed slowly.


    The Lightning Wind Palm was also split into 6 levels and Zhao Feng remained on the 3rd, just half a step away from the 4th.


    ¡°Once I reach the 4th level, my attacks can numb the enemy.¡±


    Zhao Feng longed to reach this level, but from the 4th level onwards, Lightning was the most important part and Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t interpreted Lightning much.


    There was another reason and that was because the Lightning Wind Palm was too rough, so Zhao Feng carefully tried to improve it with his left eye.


    Of course, his Lightning Wind Palm was at the peak 3rd level and it could reach the 4th level anytime.


    Time flew by fast and there was only one month left till the Floating Crest Trial.


    Zhao Feng felt that his body strengthening, cultivation and martial arts had all reached a bottleneck.


    ¡°Silver Wall Technique has reached its limits. I wonder if I can get my hands on the 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    According to what he knew, 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique was a peak tier Mortal skill that was heavily treasured by the Clan.


    Zhao Feng had 50000 contribution points at hand and a Middle tier Mortal skill needed 5000.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng decided to ask 1st Elder.


    In name, 1st Elder was his Master. But in reality, the latter hadn¡¯t even spoken to Zhao Feng.


    Usually, 1st Elder would call Yang Gan to tell Zhao Feng everything.


    Today, 1st Elder was giving pointers to Yang Gan and Zhao Feng soon arrived.


    ¡°9 Twist Golden Wall Technique?¡± 1st Elders¡¯ eyebrows rose.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique is a peak tier Mortal skill, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re being too rash?¡±


    Yang Gan smiled and shook his head, Zhao Feng was far too rash, even a core disciple like him didn¡¯t have the right to learn it.

 159 1st Elder’s pointers

    Seeing 1st Elder and Yang Gan¡¯s reactions, Zhao Feng added: ¡°Disciple means using contribution points to exchange for the skill.¡±


    In the Clan, contribution points could be traded for High-class Mortal skills.


    ¡°Your points aren¡¯t enough to trade for it. Furthermore, even if you did have enough you can¡¯t.¡± 1st Elder shook his head.


    Zhao Feng paused and Yang Gan explained: ¡°One needs 200000 points for a peak tier Mortal skill and they must be at the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm or higher.¡±


    200000 points! 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold and he knew that there was nothing he could do. He hadn¡¯t reached any of the requirements. On the contrary, he was far away from both.


    He would never have thought that the requirements for peak tier Mortal skills were so high.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, peak tier Mortal skills aren''t something you can touch. Especially the 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique even Elders find it hard to train it to the highest level.¡±


    Yang Gan sighed as he spoke up to here.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®wish¡¯ was far too high, Yang Gan had never heard of anyone at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm asking for a peak tier Mortal skill.


    Only Elders in the Broken Moon Clan could learn a few.


    As for the Spiritual skills, Elders might not be able to even comprehend it.


    ¡°Why are you choosing 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique? The path of body strengthening is hard and you¡¯ve already made a solid foundation by entering the Ascended Realm with your body. Why not spend more time on your forte? Like your mental strength?¡±


    1st Elder¡¯s eyes twinkled as he looked at Zhao Feng. The latter went into deep thought as he heard this and suddenly, he realised that 1st Elders¡¯ words were logical.


    ¡°Why keep on choosing body strengthening? And choose the 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique, which is so far away?¡±


    The 9 ranks of the Consolidated Realm were the foundation. At that time, Zhao Feng had entered the Ascended Realm with his body, which made his foundation very solid.


    But the question was now that he had entered the Ascended Realm, he didn¡¯t have to choose body strengthening or the 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique.


    Apart from that, 1st Elder¡¯s eyes were sharp and he found that Zhao Feng had a strong mental energy which originated from his left eye.


    Zhao Feng only knew a rough ¡®mental strength spike¡¯ and he didn¡¯t know how to use this treasure properly.


    After thinking for a while, Zhao Feng made his decision.


    ¡°What do you think?¡±


    1st Elders¡¯ eyes squinted.


    ¡°Master is correct. I shouldn¡¯t keep on concentrating on body strengthening, maybe it¡¯s not the best path for me.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Although his bloodline made it easier for him to absorb energy, the path of body strengthening wasn¡¯t smooth.


    Seeing Zhao Feng understand so easily, 1st Elder was slightly surprised and thought: ¡°This brat¡¯s comprehension and understanding is good and he doesn¡¯t seem like a type of person who sticks to everything. Then why didn¡¯t he give up Lightning Wind Palm?¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately, I¡¯ve reached the limits of Silver Wall Technique.¡± Zhao Feng sighed regretfully.


    Weng~


    A thin layer of silver appeared on his body, which made Zhao Feng seem like an ice statue.


    This was the 11th level of the Silver Wall Technique!


    Body of perfection.


    What!?


    1st Elder and Yang Gan were both shocked. They would never have thought that Zhao Feng had reached such a high level in body strengthening. Just his muscles alone could fend off cultivators at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°Brother Zhao definitely has a chance to fight for one of the spots of the Floating Crest Trial now.¡±


    Yang Gan was extremely surprised.


    It wasn¡¯t that no one had trained their bodies to the highest level of a Mortal skill, but the numbers were extremely low. However, none of them was as young as Zhao Feng.


    Who said his forte wasn¡¯t body strengthening!?


    1st Elder¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. At the same time, he admired Zhao Feng¡¯s decisiveness. If it was someone who had trained their bodies to such a high level, would they give up so easily?


    Even he was slightly regretting saying it now. Maybe Zhao Feng really was talented in body strengthening.


    Thinking up to here, 1st Elder laughed again: ¡°It¡¯s not like there¡¯s no chance at all. Even if your cultivation and contribution points aren¡¯t enough, you can still get the 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique.¡±


    ¡°Master, please speak.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    ¡°Floating-Crest-Trial.¡± 1st Elder said one word at a time.


    Floating Crest Trial?


    Yang Gan exchanged glances with Zhao Feng.


    ¡°The Floating Crest Trial is a major turning point. With enough power, one can get peak tier Mortal skills and even Spiritual weapons and skills.¡± 1st Elder smiled faintly.


    The jaws of Zhao Feng and Yang Gan dropped.


    What was so mysterious about this Floating Crest Palace? How did it even have Spiritual skills?


    ¡°If you get another peak tier Mortal skill from the palace, you can trade it with the 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique.¡± 1st Elder explained.


    Zhao Feng understood what he meant. Even Elders were expectant of the rewards inside, but there were restrictions regarding age and cultivation.


    ¡°There¡¯s another key point. If you have a very high talent in a certain area, you might receive an Inheritance.¡±


    The 1st Elder laughed again.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart rate sped up and even Yang Gan had longing on his face. Zhao Feng finally knew why the Floating Crest Trial was so important now.


    ¡°Thanks Master, disciple will now leave.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t stay for long and he soon left, leaving behind 1st Elder and Yang Gan.


    ¡°With his performance at the Scarlet Moon Demonic Cave and level of body strengthening, he should be able to attend the Floating Crest Trial.¡± 1st Elder murmured.


    ¡°Master, do you want me to help him in the trial?¡± Yang Gan suddenly asked.


    He didn¡¯t know what Master had in mind for this disciple.


    ¡°No!¡±


    1st Elder was decisive: ¡°The Floating Crest Trial is extremely important for you and one can only attend once! Of the disciples going, you are the strongest so you must grasp this chance well.¡±


    ¡°Disciple understands.¡±


    Yang Gan let out a breath in his heart. It looked like his position in Master''s heart was unwaverable and it couldn¡¯t be moved by an outer disciple.


    Furthermore, someone who trained the Lightning Wind Palm might die at any time, so there was no point in putting too much feeling into Zhao Feng.


    Sending away Yang Gan with his eyes, 1st Elder murmured by himself: ¡°I can¡¯t believe Zhao Feng has such decisiveness to swiftly give up body strengthening, he seems like a cool-headed and calm person. Then why didn¡¯t he give up Lightning Wind Palm?¡±


    ¡­¡­¡­


    After leaving 1st Elders place, Zhao Feng understood that he had already built a solid foundation and he didn¡¯t need to work on body strengthening for now.


    From a new perspective, he should walk on the path that was most suitable for him because that was the most logical decision. Therefore, he didn¡¯t have to force himself on training the 9 Twist Golden Wall Technique


    ¡°The path of body strengthening is slow and it expends a lot of resources, which would greatly decrease my cultivation speed.¡±


    The more Zhao Feng thought, the more reason he saw.


    Apart from that, even 1st Elder, as an outsider, had seen that Zhao Feng had abnormal mental strength.


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng fully prepared for the Floating Crest Trial as well as the participation spots.


    There were only 10 people who could go, so the competition would be extremely fierce and many would be at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    It wasn¡¯t just Zhao Feng who was working hard, the other inner disciples were all working hard as well. Lin Fan would sometimes come over to spar with Zhao Feng.


    Ever since they had completed the previous mission, Lin Fan had used the generous reward to help himself reach the 2nd Sky and he had easily beat Xu Ren a few days ago.


    One had to know that Xu Ren, who had reached the 3rd Sky half a month ago, wasn¡¯t Lin Fan¡¯s match.


    Lin Fan¡¯s talent wasn¡¯t high, but he was like Zhao Feng. They both had integrity and immense battle power, which allowed them to fight others who were higher ranked than them.


    Zhao Feng and Lin Fan started to exchange moves in their courtyards.


    Backwave Sword Manual!


    Lin Fan gripped a simple old fashioned sword and swiped it like he was chopping through waves of water.


    ¡°High tier Mortal skill, I can¡¯t believe you¡¯ve learnt it so quickly!¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly and he used his Lightning Wind Palm, which pushed Lin Fan back. The latter not only had a High tier Mortal sword skill, he also had a Low-grade Mortal weapon and Zhao Feng needed 70% of his strength to beat Lin Fan in 20 or so moves.


    One had to know that other cultivators at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm wouldn¡¯t even last a few moves, even if Zhao Feng only used 70% of his strength.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Zhao for giving me this sword skill¡­ but even so I¡¯m still not your match.¡±


    Lin Fan was grateful and slightly bitter at the same time.


    Even though he had received a lot of primal crystal stones and contribution points, they still weren¡¯t enough for a High tier Mortal skill.


    Zhao Feng thought that Lin Fan was trustworthy, so he gave the Backwash Sword Manual which he had gotten from the Hollow Building and no one would be suspicious due to the massive reward they had received.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your strength is close to the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm and there¡¯s definitely no problem with you getting a spot. But why don¡¯t buy a weapon to increase your strength?¡±


    Lin Fan suggested.


    Weapon?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved, because his Golden Stairs Bow wasn¡¯t suitable for him anymore. Plus the Floating Crest Trial was coming up, so he should get a weapon to increase his overall strength.


    Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng walked towards the Clan Mission Division.


    Clan Mission Division.


    Zhao Feng saw Vice Head Zhang and immediately told him his purpose.


    ¡°I can give you 20% off here.¡± Old man Zhang laughed.


    20% off?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes became a line due to his smile, 20% off wasn¡¯t something anyone could get.


    Soon, old man Zhang led Zhao Feng to the weapons hall.


    Blacksmiths all worked in the Clan Mission Division and there were certain zones for exchanging.


    The lines of weapons of all different kinds: bright, shiny, sharp¡­ They made Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes blur.

 160 Luohou Bow

    The weapons were like jewellery displayed in every corner of the room.


    Any disciple that saw this would be excited, but the prices of these weapons weren¡¯t cheap. Any one of them was worth thousands of substandard primal crystal stones and they were Low grade Mortal weapons!


    If it was a Middle-grade Mortal weapon, it would cost at least tens of thousands of substandard primal crystal stones.


    Because of the relationship with old man Zhang, Zhao Feng was led to a storage room and inside this room, every item was at least a Low-grade Mortal weapon, but they were the best ones.


    ¡°Black Wind Sword: Increases the strength of True Force by 20%, speed by 3-% and sends out a black wind which increases the sword¡¯s aura. Low-grade Mortal weapon: 6600 substandard primal crystal stones.¡±


    ¡°Flowing Feather Saber: Light as a feather, but cuts through metal like mud. Increases the speed of True Force by 30% and the strength of sword strikes by 30%. Low-grade Mortal weapon: 5800 substandard primal crystal stones.¡±


    ¡°Scorching Red Saber: Crafted with Flaming Red crystals and increases the power of fire element attacks. 40% more damage when used with a fire skill: 5500 substandard primal crystal stones.¡±


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­..


    Zhao Feng glanced at the precious low-grade Mortal weapons and he found that the price was a bit higher, but the effects were great.


    The Black Wind Sword was especially so - it had 3 buffs but it was double the price of cheaper low-grade Mortal weapons.


    ¡°The materials, cost and power of these items exceed others of the same grade. Of course, the price is more expensive too.¡± Old man Zhang smiled faintly.


    The 20% discount he promised Zhao Feng was a massive discount that Core disciples wouldn¡¯t even be able to get. Only Elders would have such treatment.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and he scanned the different types of weapons: swords, sabres, whips, axes, bows, gloves¡­ whatever one wanted, it was there.


    Amidst the weapons, the sabre and sword took up a bigger majority because they were the king and emperor of weapons and easy to learn. But unfortunately, these two weapons weren¡¯t his forte.


    For him, bows were better. Zhao Feng looked at the bows and he found that there weren¡¯t many, probably because they weren¡¯t popular.


    ¡°Heavenly Eagle Bow: Range - 2 miles, can increase one¡¯s sight by one mile and pierce through 4 layers of armour as well as the True Force of a cultivator at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm. Price: 3600 substandard primal crystal stones.¡±


    Zhao Feng picked this bow up and he found that it was not bad. The bow had an array on it which allowed the use to increase his eyesight by one mile. But it had no effect to Zhao Feng because he could already see for 100 miles straight .


    ¡°Ancient Iron Bow: powerful explosive strength and it is able to pierce through 4 layers of armour. Requires strong arm strength and eyesight¡­ ¡±


    These bows were slightly cheaper, around 2900 substandard primal crystal stones.


    Zhao Feng looked around and he realised that the other bows were even cheaper.


    ¡°Bows are after all, not used by many people. Some of them may not be sold even in a couple years time.¡± Old man Zhang said.


    Zhao Feng thought that this was good for him, but then he thought about arrows. The latter was a one-use item, which would cost a lot over time.


    ¡°I have 20000 substandard primal crystal stones, which is more than enough to buy a Low-grade Mortal weapon.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought and put his focus on Middle-grade Mortal weapons.


    Middle-grade Mortal weapons were a whole class higher but the price was too. For example at the hall, a sword was 40000-50000 substandard primal crystal stones, but here it was 70000+.


    Zhao Feng saw a sword which doubled the strength of one¡¯s True Force who was at the 4th Sky, meaning that the user¡¯s True Force would be even stronger than cultivators at the 5th Sky.


    With weapons like that, killing opponents higher ranked than oneself wasn¡¯t hard.


    ¡°Luohou Bow: Can reach the sound of sound and shoot through at least 3 layers of armour. At best, it can one-shot cultivators at the 5th Sky. When used with the Luohou Arrows, the damage doubles and it can lock onto the enemy. Even if it misses, the arrow will still follow the enemy for a while. The bow itself is a peak Middle grade Mortal weapon, But combined with its Luohuo Arrows, it becomes a High grade Mortal weapon. Bow price: 80000 substandard primal crystal stones; entire set: 150000 substandard primal crystal stones.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze was immediately locked onto this bow when he saw it.


    This bow was way too strong!


    Its speed and offence both reached a limit.


    No wonder it was a Middle-grade Mortal weapon, its attributes were unimaginable.


    Zhao Feng took down this deep green and red weird little bow and he felt that the material was extremely unique. The bow¡¯s size was smaller than normal bows, just slightly larger than a crossbow.


    ¡°Attack speed can reach the speed of sound and it can instantly kill cultivators of the 5th Sky at its best. With its Luohuo Arrows, the attributes all double and they can even follow the enemy for a short distance if they miss¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured and he instantly fell in love with this bow, but the price of the bow and arrows was too expensive: 150000 substandard primal crystal stones.


    ¡°Too expensive.¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    ¡°Do you want the Luohuo bow?¡± Old man Zhang laughed.


    ¡°It¡¯s just too expensive and it¡¯s a bow at that. If this was another weapon, it would cost 20000+.¡± Zhao Feng shook his head.


    ¡°According to the Clan rules, you can get 50% off if you spend 50000 contribution points. I¡¯m also giving you 20% off so the final price is only 30% of the 150000.¡± Vice Head Zhang smiled.


    30%?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved, this way, the final price would be 45000 substandard primal crystal stones and the bow alone would be 24000 substandard primal crystal stones.


    ¡°The bow and arrows are supposed to be sold both at once, but if you want to just buy the bow, the arrows must be bought in 3 years.¡±


    He was Zhao Feng¡¯s in-name teacher after all.


    The latter thought about it and even if he didn¡¯t have the Luohou Arrows, he could only use the bow up to 30% of its maximum potential. This was because a Middle grade Spiritual weapon needed the user to be at the 5th Sky to fully use its power.


    But even though the bow cost 30% of its original price, that was 24000 substandard primal crystal stones, Zhao Feng only had 20000 or so on him.


    ¡°Teacher, why not let me owe the 4000 first. After I enter the Floating Crest Palace and get a few skills or weapons, I¡¯ll pay it off.¡± Zhao Feng suggested.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Old man Zhang had seen what Zhao Feng was capable of back at the Scarlet Moon Demonic Cave and knew the latter had the strength to enter the trail.


    ¡°I need to warn you, although there¡¯s many treasures in the Floating Crest Palace, do you think that they¡¯ll all be on the ground waiting for you to pick them up? Only a low number of people were able to get something. In the past hundred years, only Hai Yun Master had got something big. But even then, Elder Yun only received 2 elite Mortal weapons and that was the best score in the past hundred years¡­ ¡± Vice Head Zhang reminded him.


    He didn¡¯t even worry about Zhao Feng¡¯s 4000 debt because the latter was a pill maker and it wasn¡¯t hard for him to earn this much.


    ¡°Thanks, teacher.¡±


    Zhao Feng took down the Luohou bow and his heart was warm. Only the two Vice Heads cared for him in the Clan.


    Shew-- Qiu--- Qiu--- Qiu---


    3 dark red arrows suddenly stuck onto the Luohou bow as if it had its own consciousness.


    Zhao Feng was stunned, did it really have its own consciousness?


    All he did before was put a bit of his True Force into the bow and the arrows had come.


    ¡°The bow and arrow are like mother and son. Even a few miles away, the Luohou arrows can return to the bow. Usually, only High-grade Mortal weapons and above can do this.¡± Vice Head Zhang explained.


    ¡°Next time, I¡¯ll definitely take the arrows with me.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    Right now, he could only take the bow. After spending another couple hundred substandard primal crystal stones, Zhao Feng bought a batch of high-quality arrows, then he left the Clan Mission Division.


    ¡­¡­..


    On the way, Zhao Feng heard the sound of cheering and fighting.


    ¡°Someone¡¯s challenged a core disciple! This hasn¡¯t happened for 2 years now!¡¯


    ¡°The challenger is Quan Chen, he reached the 4th Sky half a month ago and he does have the qualifications to do so.¡±


    On the stage, two disciples of the 4th Sky clahsed together heavily and one of them was Quan Chen.


    When Zhao Feng had arrived, the battle had come to an end.


    Partial Moon Flying Knife!


    Quan Chen waved his arms and 3-4 silver lights instantly appeared, which created several bloody gashes on the core disciple.


    When Quan Chen had fought Zhao Feng before, Quan Chen could only fire one Blade of the Partial Moon and this ¡®Partial Moon Flying Knife¡¯ could shoot 4-5 at one time.


    ¡°I give up!¡±


    The core disciple let out a long breath: ¡°I can¡¯t believe Brother Quan has trained 2 High tier Mortal skills at once and trained the Chilling Moon Manual to the 4th stage.¡±


    Chilling Moon Manual was the same tier as Zhao Feng¡¯s Heavenly Wind God Technique and the latter had trained the Heavenly Wind God Technique to the 4th level as well, the same as Quan Chen. But the latter had a higher cultivation, so the power of the two was different.


    ¡°Quan Chen¡¯s improved by a lot and he is at least two times stronger than he was at the Scarlet Moon Demonic Cave.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    After Qian Chen won, he was listed as one of the 10 Core disciples and 2 of the 10 Core disciples were disciples of Hai Yun Master.


    ¡°I heard that Brother Quan Chen¡¯s getting ready to participate in the Floating Crest Trial. Becoming a Core disciple means that he can get a spot straight away.¡±


    A few of the inner disciples were envious and worried at the same time.


    ¡°Core disciple? Is Quan Chen participating as well?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows rose as a cold light flashed in his eyes.


    In the blink of an eye, tens of days had passed and there were 10 days left till the Floating Crest Trial.


    Apart from the core disciples, everyone else had to fight for a spot to enter. There were 3 Core disciples participating this time, so in reality only 7 places could be fought for.

 161 Floating Crest Competition 1

    Broken Moon Clan, Central Division.


    Figure after figure started to appear on the field and although today wasn¡¯t an Inner disciple gathering, more people arrived.


    Above the Central Division was an azure palace floating in the sky amidst a sea of lightning and it gave off an old, ancient aura.


    Zhao Feng and Lin Fan had both arrived as well. The eyes of the former was locked on the Floating Crest Palace and he found that the surrounding lightning was stronger than several months before.


    Today was the day to fight for the participation spots, known as the ¡°Floating Crest Tournament¡±.


    The Floating Crest Trial happened once every five years and this was also an opportunity for the Elders to find new disciples.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, Brother Lin, are you both here to sign up as well?¡±


    Xu Ren walked over, smiling.


    Ever since they had completed the mission, they had become friends.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! With Brother Zhao¡¯s strength, he''s definitely able to participate. But for me, it¡¯s going to be hard.¡± Lin Fan replied.


    ¡°Brother Zhao definitely will pass.¡±


    Xu Ren nodded his head. Because they had gone on the same mission together, Xu Ren knew what Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was like and the three would occasionally spar together.


    Of the three, Zhao Feng was the strongest, then Lin Fan and then finally Xu Ren.


    Xu Ren usually didn¡¯t even have the chance to spar with Zhao Feng, but Lin Fan, who beat him easily, would be helpless when mentioning Zhao Feng.


    The words of the 3 went into the ears of Yun Mengxiang nearby.


    ¡°Floating Crest Competition? From Lin Fan and Xu Ren¡¯s tone, Zhao Feng is able to get a spot?¡±


    Yun Mengxiang¡¯s eyes twirled and landed on Zhao Feng. She realised that ever since the two of them became inner disciples, she payed less and less attention on Zhao Feng.


    As for the Scarlet Moon Demonic Cave event one month ago, she didn¡¯t attend and thought that Zhao Feng was just lucky.


    Yun Mengxiang was only at the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm, so she didn¡¯t sign up and just came here to watch.


    More and more people flooded onto the field and the inner and core disciples appeared one by one.


    Half an hour later.


    All the inner disciples had arrived and even some outer disciples had come to watch. For an event as big as this, the Clan allowed the outer disciples to come in to watch.


    ¡°Go Brother Zhao!¡± Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan cheered for Zhao Feng and the latter nodded at them as a greeting.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, come here.¡± A dominant, strong voice sounded from the side.


    ¡°It¡¯s core disciple, Yang Gan!¡±


    ¡°Yang Gan! Ranked 2nd of all the Core disciples and one of the hottest picks for the Head disciple.¡±


    The crowd broke out into discussion.


    Yang Gan was dressed in pure white and he was like a handsome carving. Being one of the most famous inner disciples, Yang Gan¡¯s every action was looked upon by others.


    The faces of some girl disciples would blush red as they looked at his handsome figure.


    ¡°Brother Yang.¡±


    Zhao Feng went up and stood next to Yang Gan. They were the only 2 disciples of 1st Elder.


    Yang Gan was known for being righteous and although he wasn¡¯t warm hearted towards Zhao Feng, he didn¡¯t provide any trouble for him. Instead, he did his duty as the older disciple.


    ¡°Who¡¯s the guy walking with Yang Gan?¡±


    Many were surprised and some who knew the truth started to discuss.


    At one moment, Zhao Feng also caught the gaze of many.


    The latter walked confidently with Yang Gan side by side and Yang Gan had the intention of taking Zhao Feng into the core disciples¡¯ circle.


    Of the core disciples, Zhao Feng was familiar with many of them, such as Sister Yuan, Quan Chen and Yuan Zhi.


    ¡°This guy¡¯s a disciple of 1st Elder now.¡± Sister Yuan looked unhappily at Zhao Feng.


    She was still with Ran Xiaoyuan and the latter nodded her head as a greeting.


    Knowing that Zhao Feng was going to participate in the tournament as well, Sister Yuan laughed: ¡°Sister Ran, don¡¯t be respectful when you meant this brat. Teach him a lesson.¡±


    ¡°We might not meet.¡±


    Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s face was slightly red as she sneakily glanced at Zhao Feng before she spoke in a low whisper.


    The Floating Crest Competition used the ¡®7 battles rule¡¯.


    The 7 battle rules meant that everyone fought 7 battles and the winners would fight the winners, while the losers fought the losers.


    There was more than more than 30 people and the chances of meeting a certain person wasn¡¯t high nor low. Apart from that, anyone who won 4 battles in a row would automatically progress to take a spot, because the more battles one won, the stronger the opponent would be, since everyone else was also winners.


    Anyone that won 4 battles in a row definitely had the ability to enter the top 10.


    ¡­..


    Half an hour later, the high level of the Clan appeared and an array was set up in the middle of the field.


    The array was overlooked by Vice Head Zhang of the Clan Mission Division.


    Qiu-- Qiu--


    The sound of wind whistling appeared and in the next instant, the aura of someone at the True Spirit Realm appeared.


    ¡°Greetings, Elders!¡±


    The first two who had arrived were Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master. After the two sat in their seats, another powerful appeared, which was much stronger than other two Elder¡¯s.


    ¡°1st Elder!¡±


    Everyone bowed and even the two other Elders stood up.


    Next, the Clan Master and another Elder arrived.


    ¡°Greetings Clan Master and Granny Liuyue.¡±


    The disciples as well as the Deacons and Vice Heads bowed.


    The two who came were both woman. One of them was a beautiful girl, who had a high and noble aura - she was the Clan Master of the Broken Moon Clan!


    Although they were all at the True Spirit Realm, her aura was much stronger than Hai Yun Masters. Next to the Clan Master was a white-haired old woman, who had the scent of plants on her.


    ¡°The Head of the Grass Wood Division, Granny Liuyue.¡± Zhao Feng knew a bit of information about this person.


    Granny Liuyue was the best pill master in the Clan and in both cultivation and pill refining, she surpassed old man Guan. The Clan Master, 1st Elder and the other three Elders sat in their places and behind them stood their disciples.


    Behind the Broken Moon Clan Master was two female disciples, Sister Yuan and Ran Xiaoyuan.


    ¡°Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s mentor is the Clan Master¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng was surprised.


    No wonder she was already at the peak 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm. Her main skill was probably the Heavenly Wind God Technique as well.


    Behind Elder Xue were several disciples and one of them was a baby-faced youth.


    It was Sun Yuanhao who had the Changeable Body!


    His cultivation was at the peak 2nd Sky which meant that his talent was almost as good as Bei Moi¡¯s.


    Behind Hai Yun Master stood Bei Moi, Yuan Zhi and Quan Chen.


    As for Granny Liuyue, there was one familiar girl behind her.


    Liu Yue¡¯er!


    Zhao Feng was stunned, he didn¡¯t expect Liu Yue¡¯er to be a disciple of the Head of Grass Wood Division. Her cultivation had also reached the peak 2nd Sky and having Granny Liuyue, the best pill maker in the Clan helping her, the advantage she had was huge.


    The latter was also surprised at Zhao Feng¡¯s figure behind 1st Elder.


    1st Elder and the Clan Master held the highest authority in the Clan.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t I ever get rid of this guy¡­ ?¡± Liu Yue¡¯er felt somewhat irritated.


    She and Zhao Feng both were disciples of Lord Cangtie and Lord Guanjun respectively and she thought that she would suppress Zhao Feng forever by becoming a disciple of Granny Liuyue. The thing that made her even more frustrated was that Zhao Feng only had a Low tier Spiritual Body.


    ¡°Interesting¡­ so many familiar people¡­ ¡± A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    His gaze scanned across familiar figures: Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan. Liu Yue¡¯er, Sun Yuanhao and Xiao Sun¡­


    All of these people were here to get a participation spot.


    ¡°Let the once every 5 years Floating Crest Competition begin!¡± The Vice Head of the Central Division, Vice Head Li announced.


    The spectators became deadly silent. The rules of the competition was the same as usual. Every participant had their own number and their opponents would be drawn.


    Zhao Feng drew his number then went back to stand behind 1st Elder.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, the strongest two in the participation group is Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan. As long as you don¡¯t meet those two, you should be able to win 4 in a row.¡± Yang Gan analysed.


    Bei Moi was the newest disciple, who had the best talent, comprehension and cultivation. He had now reached the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm and he had the potential to surpass Hai Yun Master.


    On the other side, Ran Xiaoyuan was a core disciple of the Clan Master and her cultivation had reached the peak 3rd Sky.


    ¡°I know¡­. Both of them¡­ ¡±


    A weird smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    The participation battles soon began.


    Weng~


    A transparent white seal appeared showing two disciples that had already begun to fight.


    One of them was Xiao Sun and he had used the rewards that he got to reach the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    However, his opponent was an old disciple at the peak 2nd Sky and after 20 or so, moves Xiao Sun lost.


    The winner would progress to the next round and battle other winners.


    The competition continued and Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan and Sun Yuanhao all showed their skills.


    On the 8th battle, Bei Moi appeared.


    ¡°Northern Dark Heavenly Ice!¡±


    A blue True Force appeared from Bei Moi, which created a whirlpool and smashed forward.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on!?¡±


    His opponent couldn¡¯t breathe and his face started to turn red.


    Wah!


    The disciple at the peak 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm spat out a mouthful of blood and the whirlpool was sucked back by Bei Moi with a ¡®shua¡¯ or else, his opponent would have died.


    ¡°So strong!¡±


    The spectators and contestants were all stunned and the expressions of even Core disciples changed.

 162 Floating Crest Competition 2

    Not many people understood how Bei Moi won because it seemed like the latter didn¡¯t even hit his target.


    ¡°This Bei Moi isn¡¯t the one he was back at the Guanjun Palace... to force the opponent to cough out blood from just the intent of his attack.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was solemn.


    Bei Moi didn¡¯t just have high talent, he had high comprehension as well.


    ¡°He¡¯s cultivating the Northern Dark Heavenly Water Technique¡­ That skill was taken out of the Floating Crest Palace by Elder Xue, but not many were able to learn this High class Mortal skill.¡± 1st Elder said slowly.


    Northern Dark Heavenly Water Technique!


    Zhao Feng felt that this skill wasn¡¯t simple, just like his Lightning Wind Palm. 1st Elders¡¯ words just then were warning Zhao Feng.


    Bei Moi¡¯s first battle stuck deeply in everyone¡¯s heart. It was just the intent of his attack and he could force his opponent to spit out blood. It was hard to imagine what his true strength was like.


    ¡°Brother Bei is indeed great. It looks like there¡¯s no point anymore in this Floating Crest Competition after he¡¯s learnt the Northern Dark Heavenly Water Technique.¡± Quan Chen sighed as envy, jealousy and helplessness flashed in his eyes.


    Bei Moi might be weaker than him and Yuan Zhi right now, but it was only a matter of time before they were surpassed.


    After Bei Moi went up, Ran Xiaoyuan, Sun Yuanhao and Liu Yue¡¯er all showed off their strength.


    Ran Xiaoyuan beat her opponent, who was at the peak 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm in one move. Sun Yuanhao was slightly unluckier, his opponent was at the 3rd Sky, which required him 10-20 moves to win.


    ¡°Although only disciples of the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm have a chance, the disciples of Elders can¡¯t be underestimated either.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    For example, Sun Yuanhao had great comprehension and talent, and he had trained one High-class Mortal skill as well as 2 Middle class Mortal skills, whereas other normal inner disciples would only have 2 Middle class Mortal skills.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng¡¯s estimate of Sun Yuanhao¡¯s true strength was: peak 3rd Sky!


    This meant that Sun Yuanhao could fight those one entire rank higher than himself.


    As for Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan, they were at least on par with those at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°The 12th battle: Zhao Feng vs Luo Haiqiang.¡± Vice Head Li¡¯s voice rung out.


    Zhao Feng moved like a fish and he landed on the stage in just a few breaths.


    His opponent was a disciple at the 3rd Sky and of the 40+ disciples that signed up, one-third of them had reached the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm. So it was quite unlucky to meet a disciple of the 3rd Sky in the 1st round.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s azure hair blew in the wind and a sharp glint appeared in his eye.


    ¡°It looks like you¡¯re the crazy person who trained the Lightning Wind Palm.¡±


    Luo Haiqiang licked his lips and tensed his body, not daring to be overconfident.


    The crazy person who trained the Lightning Wind palm?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure caught the attention of many people


    Wind rising Lightning sounding!


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly thrust out his palm as his hair blew in the wind. Instantly, the sound of thunder appeared like there was a storm.


    ¡°Wu~¡±


    Luo Hiaqiang¡¯s body instantly froze as he was enveloped by a storm of chaotic wind and lightning.


    7 Deadly Fingers!


    He condensed all his True Force and he sent out beams out purple light, which was strong enough to pierce through metal that was several layers thick.


    Shua!


    The second the True Force left his body, it was washed away in the storm.


    With a bang, Luo Haiqiang was sent flying.


    ¡°You¡¯re very strong¡­ ¡±


    Luo Haiqiang surrendered, pale faced.


    The spectators below were stunned and many began to praise the power of Lightning Wind Palm.


    ¡°To challenge those higher ranked than you and win in one move. Is this the power of Lightning Wind Palm?¡±


    Yang Gan¡¯s expression changed slightly.


    ¡°His control of Lightning Wind Palm is ever better than Chen¡¯er¡¯s and he has trained every move to a higher level.¡±


    A light flashed in 1st Elders¡¯ eyes.


    He once had a disciple, but he had died due to the Lightning Wind Palm¡­


    After Zhao Feng won, he retreated back behind 1st Elder to wait for the next battle.


    Soon, all the contestants finished their first round with Lin Fan easily beating a disciple at the peak 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°Zhao Feng and Lin Fan both easily passed the first round?¡±


    Xiao Sun, who was watching below, was extremely disappointed and frustrated. He was relying on luck mostly, but unfortunately, his luck wasn¡¯t very good and he had lost in the first round.


    Every loss made the distance between him and a spot further away.


    After resting for half an hour, the second round began.


    The winners would fight with the winners and those that could win 4 in a row passed directly.


    In reality, not many people won 4 times in a row, because the opponent would get more terrifying as each round progressed.


    None of the winners was simple.


    The second round: Xiao Sun lost again and he almost went crazy.


    Lin Fan¡¯s luck wasn¡¯t good either and he met an opponent at the peak 3rd Sky.


    ¡°It looks like Lin Fan¡¯s going to lose.¡±


    Xiao Sun thought and Yun Mengxiang, who stood next to him, also smiled faintly.


    However, the result was unexpected. Lin Fan exchanged 50 or so moves with his opponent and he just about won.


    ¡°This guy has a High class Mortal skill and a Low grade Mortal weapon!¡±


    Xiao Sun looked like a pot of cold water had been thrown on him.


    They both went on the same mission, got the same rewards, but Lin Fan¡¯s growth far exceeded him. The greatest difference was Lin Fan had a High class Mortal skill.


    Lin Fan and Xiao Sun¡¯s contribution points shouldn¡¯t be enough for a High class Mortal skill and a Low grade mortal weapon.


    ¡°Lin Fan and Zhao Feng have been pretty close lately.¡±


    A flash of regret appeared in Yun Mengxiang¡¯s eyes and she could guess what had happened.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s reward was far greater than the others and it wasn¡¯t hard for him to get a few mortal weapons. Lin Fan could only reach this far because of Zhao Feng.


    In the second round, Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s position couldn¡¯t be wavered as they beat their opponents in one move.


    ¡°Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan are the strongest two in this competition. Even those at the peak 3rd Sky can¡¯t last more than 3 moves against them.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s strength isn¡¯t weak either. His lightning Wind Palm is extremely powerful.¡±


    The crowd discussed.


    Zhao Feng, Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan had used dominating strength to crush their opponents.


    Amongst them, Bei Moi had shocked everyone as he beat a disciple at the peak 3rd Sky in one move.


    ¡°Even those at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm might no be his match.¡±


    A few inner disciples were wary and respectful towards Bei Moi and none of the others wanted to meet Bei Moi.


    At this moment, there weren''t even 10 people who had won 2 in a row. If one didn¡¯t have overwhelming strength, it was hard to win continuously.


    Soon, it was the 3rd round and those disciples who had won 2 battles in a row began to feel troubled.


    In the third round, Lin Fan met a strong opponent - Liu Yue¡¯er. The latter had higher cultivation than him and better weapons as well as skills. But after 20 or so moves, Lin Fan had the upper hand.


    Afterall, her true battle power wasn¡¯t as powerful as Lin Fan¡¯s.


    Weng~


    At this time, she drew a jade saber, which suddenly increased her attack speed and power. In that instant, Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s offense had double in strength.


    ¡°Middle grade Mortal weapon!¡± The spectators below exclaimed.


    ¡°I give up.¡±


    Lin Fan gave up straight away so that he could preserve his strength for the battles coming later.


    ¡°Zhao Feng vs Sun Yuanhao!¡±


    In the third round, Zhao Feng also met a troublesome opponent. Sun Yuanhao was the youth with the Changeable Body and he was instantly taken in as a disciple by an Elder.


    From their current achievements, Sun Yuanhao was placed right after Bei Moi. After all, the latter had entered the Clan an entire month earlier than Sun Yuanhao and therefore, he had a higher starting point.


    Many were expectant of this battle since both were disciples of Elders.


    However, the exciting battle they were looking forward to didn¡¯t happen.


    Silver Wall Technique!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s blood boiled as a layer of silver radiated from him, which made his body look perfect.


    ¡°That guy¡¯s body strengthening has reached such a high level!¡±


    The crowd below was stunned.


    Elder Xue¡¯s eyebrows twitched as he looked helplessly at 1st Elder and sighed.


    Lightning Wind Palm!


    With Silver Wall Technique as the basis, Zhao Feng circulated his Lightning Wind palm and crushed towards Sun Yuanhao with lightning speed.


    Pah! Pah! Pah¡­


    Zhao Feng suppressed Sun Yuanhao with lightning quick attacks.


    The first move, Sun Yuanhao was pushed back. The second move, his defensive barrier broke. The third move, he spat out blood.


    ¡°I¡¯ve lost but I didn¡¯t use my Middle grade Spiritual weapon.¡± Sun Yuanhao said depressed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks were too fierce and he didn¡¯t have the time to draw his Middle grade Mortal weapon or else, the ending result might¡¯ve not been the same. At least, he wouldn¡¯t have lost that badly.


    The third round came to an end and only a few were able to keep their winning streaks.


    Zhao Feng looked around and only 4 people were able to win 3 battles in a row.


    They were Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan, Zhao Feng and Liu Yue¡¯er respectively.


    Those who had 2 wins and 1 loss, such as Lin Fan, were doing good, but most had 2 losses and 1 win, while some even had 3 straight losses like Xiao Sun.


    ¡°It¡¯s going to be the 4th round.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly expectant. There were only 4 people who had progressed to the 4th round, which meant that he had a one in three chance of meeting Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan and Liu Yue¡¯er.


    If he met Liu Yue¡¯er, there wouldn¡¯t be any pressure. But it would be troublesome if he met Ran Xiaoyuan or Bei Moi, those two could challenge those at the 4th Sky.


    After resting for an hour, they drew their opponents.


    The 4th round had finally started.


    Although this round wasn¡¯t the last round, it was a very important round.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but peek at the slip in his hand. He sighed and shook his head... it wasn¡¯t Liu Yue¡¯er.

 163 Floating Crest Competition 3

    The 4th round was paid attention to by many.


    2 people would get one of the 10 spots this round and have the qualifications to enter the Floating Crest Trial.


    The 2 would be from Zhao Feng, Liu Yue¡¯er, Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan.


    These 4 all represented the high level of the Clan as well.


    Bei Moi stood for Hai Yun Master, Ran Xiaoyuan stood for the Clan Master, Zhao Feng stood for the 1st Elder and Liu Yue¡¯er stood for Granny Liuyue.


    Therefore, this wasn¡¯t just a battle, it also represented the clash between the high level of the Clan.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you must win face for Master this time. If the opponent is Liu Yue¡¯er, you have a higher chance of winning.¡±


    Yang Gan smiled and patted Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder.


    Liu Yue¡¯er?


    Zhao Feng thought and sighed - it wasn¡¯t.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t pay any attention to the opponents he faced in the first 3 rounds and he knew all 3 in the 4th round.


    Borth Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan were troublesome enemies and if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use his left eye, he didn¡¯t have any confidence to win.


    He might be able to beat those higher than him in cultivation, but his opponents could too and they already had a higher cultivation to begin with.


    ¡°Sister Ran who¡¯s your opponent? There shouldn¡¯t be any problems as long as you don¡¯t meet Bei Moi¡­ ¡±


    Sister Yuan glanced curiously at Ran Xiaoyuan. She didn¡¯t pay any attention to the previous opponents, but the people in the 4th round were all strong.


    ¡°It¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s him¡­ ¡± Ran Xiaoyuan said in a low tone.


    ¡°Who? Him!?¡±


    Sister Yuan followed Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s gaze and saw the one-eyed youth.


    ¡°Hehehe, isn¡¯t this great? Sister Ran, you¡¯ve got to help me teach that shameless brat a lesson.¡±


    Sister Yuan laughed in joy. She wanted Ran Xiaoyuan to meet Zhao Feng, so the former could teach the latter a lesson for her.


    ¡°But¡­ ¡±


    Ran Xiaoyunan¡¯s eyes fluttered slightly as she clenched her fists tightly. Right at this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze moved in her direction, which made her face slightly red.


    ¡°Sister Ran, you¡¯ve got to gather your courage and not be scared by his appearance. You can beat him with your strength.¡± Sister Yuan encouraged.


    ¡°Oh? Xiaoyuan¡¯s opponent is the disciple who trained the Lightning Wind Palm?¡±


    A clear, crisp voice sounded full of warmth. The speaker was the Broken Moon Clan Master who had a high and noble aura.


    ¡°Yes, Master, it¡¯s that brat.¡± Sister Yuan said respectfully.


    Hearing this, the eyebrows of the Clan Master twitched slightly: ¡°Maybe it¡¯s even worse for Ran Xiaoyuan to meet him instead of Bei Moi.¡±


    How was this possible!?


    Sister Yuan was shocked as her heart beat 120 times in disbelief.


    ¡°This is just my instinct. Maybe this is because he trained the Lightning Wind Palm.¡±


    The Clan Master smiled and regained her composure.


    The 4th round had already begun and Lin Fan, as well as Sun Yunhao, had both successfully passed while Xiao Sun was defeated 4 times in a row and left straight away, giving up the other battles in despair.


    The crowd finally reached a climax. The two that were fighting this time were Bei Moi and Liu Yue¡¯er.


    The latter slightly clenched her teeth and she immediately took her Middle grade Mortal weapon out the second the battle started.


    Solitude Moon Saber Manual!


    Her jade saber turned into cold flashes as she waved her saber. Line after line of light shaped similar to curved moons appeared. At the same time, a weird crystal on the sword lit up, which increased the power of the sword.


    With her Middle grade Spiritual weapon, Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s offense could threaten those at the peak 3rd Sky, but her opponent wasn¡¯t a normal cultivator at the 3rd Sky.


    ¡°Northern Dark Heavenly Water - Screening Water Sword!¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s face was expressionless as usual as his hands became unusually agile and a layer of dark blue True Force condensed into a one yard long transparent sword.


    Pew! Pew! Pew¡­!


    The sword clashed heavily together with Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s attack and under the exchange, Liu Yue¡¯er was pushed back as her breathing became ragged, whereas Bei Moi stood on the same spot.


    This was the first time that Bei Moi didn¡¯t win in one move. After all, Liu Yue¡¯er had used the power of her weapon and her Solitude Moon Saber Manual, which allowed her attacks to almost reach the 4th Sky level.


    Nothing showed on Bei Moi¡¯s face as he thrust his two hands forward, sending wave after wave of attacks.


    Boom! Boom! Huang...!


    Water and light flashed everywhere as the two battled.


    Ten moves later, Liu Yue¡¯er was already puffing.


    ¡°Your attacks can almost threaten those at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm, but your cultivation isn¡¯t high and you can¡¯t sustain using your Middle grade Mortal weapon.¡± Bei Moi said straight to the point.


    Liu Yue¡¯ers face was pale white and facing Bei Moi who had great talent, comprehension and strength, she couldn¡¯t do anything.


    ¡°I give up.¡±


    Liu Yue¡¯er bit her teeth and put the saber back into its sheath.


    ¡°Bei Moi! Bei Moi!¡±


    After winning 4 battles in a row, Bei Moi¡¯s fame reached its peak and the higher level people of the Clan nodded their heads like they could already see a new star.


    ¡°Unfortunately, I didn¡¯t meet a true opponent this time.¡±


    Bei Moi said as he walked off the stage and glanced towards a certain direction full of battle intent.


    The crowd all followed his gaze and they saw the youth standing behind 1st Elder.


    It was an azure-haired one eyed youth who gave everyone a weird feeling.


    ¡°It¡¯s that guy again, even Bei Moi wants to fight him.¡±


    ¡°Brother Zhao has learnt the Lighting Wind Palm and he is probably able to fight against Bei Moi.¡±


    The spectators discussed.


    It could already be imagined that the two would meet when they fought for the position of Core disciple later on.


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly stood still and he remembered what Bei Moi had said before: ¡°We¡¯ll settle it out in the Clan.¡±


    Settle it out!


    The deal between Zhao Feng and Bei Moi was slowly approaching.


    ¡­¡­¡­¡­


    The 4th round still continued.


    ¡°Zhao Feng vs Ran Xiaoyuan!¡±


    The second this was announced, the crowd once again broke into chaos.


    Another battle deciding who would win 4 in a row.


    Zhao Feng and Ran Xiaoyuan had both won 3 fights in a row and this victory would decide who progressed into the trial.


    ¡°Sister Ran, the battle will start soon.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly, while Sister Yuan clenched her teeth and exclaimed: ¡°Sister Ran, don¡¯t go easy on him!¡±


    ¡°En! I won¡¯t.¡±


    Ran Xiaoyuan condensed her Heavenly Wind True Force as she looked at Zhao Feng with a red face, but she didn¡¯t have any intention of backing down.


    The girl was still shy, but she purposely pretended to be confident and strong.


    Zhao Feng wanted to laugh because he already felt Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s heart jumping up and down.


    Heavenly Wind Shadow!


    Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s small figure suddenly flashed and disappeared as she had turned into the wind.


    ¡°Heavenly Wind Shadow!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure also flashed and like Ran Xiaoyuan, he disappeared.


    "What¡¯s going on!?"


    The spectators exclaimed. Zhao Feng and Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s movements were almost the exact same.


    Slicing Wind Stance!


    Slicing Wind Stance!


    The two thrust out their palms at the same time and instantly, a flash of light shot out from each side.


    ¡°This¡­ ¡±


    Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s eyes twinkled as she looked weirdly at Zhao Feng.


    Rotating Wind Stance!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure suddenly leapt into the air as his azure hair blew in the wind and an azure ball of wind appeared from his palm, which shot at Ran Xiaoyuan.


    This Rotating Wind Stance was the ¡®Mysterious Wind Palm¡¯ that he had learnt that day back at the canyon and in the Heavenly Wind God Technique, this move was the Rotating Wind Palm.


    ¡°Rotating Wind Palm!¡±


    Ran Xiaoyuan exclaimed as her beautiful figure also leapt into the air and clashed together with Zhao Feng, using the same move.


    Facing the familiar figure and actions which had been watched 1000 times by Zhao Feng, it caused Zhao Feng to be slightly dazed.


    Boom---


    The powerful wind ball exploded and it sent Zhao Feng flying.


    The two had reached the same level in the Heavenly Wind God Technique, but Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s cultivation was higher than Zhao Feng¡¯s and the latter had been dazed for a second just then.


    ¡°This guy¡¯s skill is the same as Sister Ran¡¯s! What does he have in mind!? Peh, this brat¡¯s even staring at Sister Ran with his disgusting eye during the middle of the battle!¡±


    Sister Yuan stomped on the ground due to anger while the Broken Moon Clan Master seemed to go into deep thought.


    1st Elder, on the other hand, had a weird expression on his face.


    ¡°I give up.¡± Zhao Feng suddenly laughed and jumped off the stage.


    Ahh!


    This scene made the jaws of the spectators drop.


    From the beginning till now, Zhao Feng gave them the impression of a strong, cold, emotionless insane person.


    No one thought that he would surrender.


    ¡°You... you haven¡¯t lost yet¡­ ¡±


    Ran Xiaoyuan finally reacted and said red faced.


    ¡­¡­


    A highly expectant battle was finished just like this.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, how can you play around like this? This win contributes to Master¡¯s face.¡± Yang Gan said slightly unsatisfied.


    Although he knew Ran Xiaoyuan would win, he still thought that Zhao Feng could put up a good fight.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I win or not, as long I get to participate in the Floating Crest Trial. It¡¯s the latter that matters.¡± Zhao Feng said casually.


    The reason he gave up was because of 3 points.


    1. Ran Xiaoyuan was strong and without him using his bloodline power or eye, he didn¡¯t have absolute confidence.


    2. His strength would be seen as anyone and there was no reward!


    Of course, the most important point was that he had a unique feeling for Ran Xiaoyuan. It was like he felt that he owed the latter a favour.


    ¡°Why... why did he suddenly give up?¡± Ran Xiaoyuan was extremely puzzled.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is extremely cunning and he didn¡¯t fight head on against Sister Ran. En! There¡¯s another possibility and that¡¯s he likes junior Sister or else why would he give up?¡±


    Sister Yuan murmured to herself, which made Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s face flush red and she then glanced sneakily at the calm azure haired youth with the corner of her eyes.


    The expressions of the two didn¡¯t escape the Broken Moon Clan Masters¡¯ eyes but instead, her eyebrows scrunched up.

 164 Floating Crest Palace

    After Zhao Feng had lost, his 3 win streak had stopped and although many were disappointed at the outcome, none of them could do anything since Zhao Feng himself had surrendered.


    The Floating Crest Competition was coming to an end after the 4th round and Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan who had both won 4 rounds got to instantly take one of the spots to enter.


    The remaining disciples would take the other spots available by their ranks and the 3 Core disciples who were attending this time all had one spot guaranteed.


    Apart from them, Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan also took 2 spots meaning that there were only 5 places left.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you¡¯ve lost a chance just then by not using your full strength. If you keep on continuing like this, maybe you really won¡¯t be able to participate.¡± Yang Gan warned.


    ¡°Brother Yang relax.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He needed to win all 3 remaining fights to definitely get a spot and everything was in control.


    Apart from Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan, no one was able to stop him.


    The 5th round: Zhao Feng won in one move, crushing his opponent at the peak 3rd Sky. At this moment, his strength made others wary.


    The 6th round: Zhao Feng¡¯s opponent was Lin Fan.


    ¡°I give up.¡±


    Lin Fan didn¡¯t want to spend too much energy against Zhao Feng and he immediately gave up.


    The 7th battle.


    His opponent was Liu Yue¡¯er, the only threat under Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan.


    Everyone thought that this would be an exciting battle, but Zhao Feng used lightning quick attacks and beat Liu Yue¡¯er in several moves. Casually, Zhao Feng had won 6 battles and became top of the remaining contestants.


    Sister Yuan¡¯s eyes twinkled as she locked on to Ran Xiaoyuan.


    ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know¡­¡±


    Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s face was apple red as she shook her head and mist appeared in her eyes like she had been blamed for something she didn¡¯t do.


    ¡°This doesn¡¯t have anything to do with Xiaoyuan. Zhao Feng surrendering means that she didn¡¯t have to participate in a fierce fight.¡±


    The Broken Moon Clan Masters¡¯ voice sounded and at this time, the competition had come to an end.


    The 7 disciples were: Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan, Zhao Feng, Liu Yue¡¯er, Sun Yuanhao, Lin Fan and Chen Yue.


    Apart from the last disciple Chen Yue who was at the peak 3rd Sky, Zhao Feng was familiar with the others.


    The 3 core disciples and the 7 inner disciples would participate in the Floating Crest Trial 10 days later.


    ¡°Yang Gan, Quan Chen, Lu Hu, Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan, Zhao Feng¡­ The 10 of you have gained the qualifications to participate in the once every five years Floating Crest Trials.¡±


    A deep, strong voice echoed across the field, announcing the end of the Floating Crest Competition.


    The competition was only for gaining the entry to the Floating Crest Palace.


    ¡°The 10 of you shall meet here in 10 days.¡±


    The Clan Master¡¯s soft, clear voice sounded and as soon as she finished speaking, five auras of the True Spirit Realm left.


    ¡­¡­¡­


    The crowd started to dissipate and those who had failed had dim eyes.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that I¡¯ll also be able to participate in the Floating Crest Trial.¡±


    Lin Fan felt like he was in a dream. Although he was once the top outer disciple, he hadn¡¯t become an inner disciple for long and he didn¡¯t have any hope at all of entering. But the youth next to him had changed his destiny.


    Lin Fan had used the rewards from the mission as a stepping stone to push himself up to the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm. Straight after that, Zhao Feng had given him a High class Mortal skill, closing the gap between him and the disciples of Elders.


    Adding to the fact that Lin Fan was willing to work hard, the latter grasped this chance. Lin Fan took a deep breath and he didn¡¯t say any words of gratitude, but he silently remembered this.


    Zhao Feng and Lin Fan returned together and not far away from them was Xiao Sun and Princess Yun Mengxiang.


    Xiao Sun¡¯s eyes were full of unwillingness and he felt extremely irritated. He had forgotten that he hadn¡¯t even placed any hope at all to enter. But seeing Lin Fan and Zhao Feng both gain the right, his heart couldn¡¯t calm down.


    Yun Mengxiang sighed and she was extremely regretful. But she knew that the time had gone. If she was able to keep the relationship she had with Zhao Feng before, maybe she would be the Lin Fan next to him.


    After returning to their courtyards, Zhao Feng and Lin Fan parted ways and they began to fully prepare for the Floating Crest Trial.


    On the 5th day.


    1st Elder called Yang Gan and Zhao Feng over and the latter understood that the reason they were called was because of the Floating Crest Trial.


    This event was once every five years and not only had Hai Yun Master participated once, even 1st Elder had.


    1st Elder was 100-200 years old and he definitely knew a lot about the Floating Crest Trial.


    ¡°The specific contents of the Floating Crest Trial is different every time, but only one thing doesn¡¯t change. The longer one stays in the trial, the higher chance of being recognised by the Floating Crest Palace. At the same time, those who live longer in the Trial will have a higher chance of getting better rewards¡­ ¡±


    1st Elder simply said what it was about and Zhao Feng immediately had some questions: ¡°Can we understand it as survival time? The longer one stays, the higher the score?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s about who survives to the end.¡±


    1st Elder had a look of praise on his face.


    ¡°Of course, there will be ¡®baits¡¯ in the trial. These baits will also have danger accompanying them and the slightest mistake could mean failure¡­ It depends on how confident you are.¡± 1st Elder added.


    He didn¡¯t say too much about the Floating Crest Trial because everything relied on strength and comprehension.


    After leaving 1st Elder, Zhao Feng returned to where he lived and told Lin Fan everything.


    As for the last 5 days, Zhao Feng focused on solely cultivation and because he had reached the 11th level of the Silver Wall Technique, his cultivation progressed greatly and he reached the peak of the 2nd Sky.


    ¡­¡­


    In the blink of an eye, the last 5 days had passed and before the sky had let up, the 10 disciples had already gathered at the Central Hall Division.


    These 10 were all the elites who had obtained the qualifications to enter the Floating Crest Trial and the 3 Core disciples were the leaders.


    The 3 core disciples: Yang Gan, Quan Chen and Lu Hu.


    Yang Gan - ranked 2nd of the 10 Core disciples and at the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm. One of the hot picks for the new head disciple.


    Lu Hu - ranked 7th of the 10 core disciples and at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm. Forte: Body strengthening.


    Quan Chen - ranked 10th of the 10 Core disciples and the newest core disciple.


    Amongst them, Yang Gan was the strongest and many people, including 1st Elder had high hopes for him.


    Some even predicted that Yang Gan¡¯s score could surpass Hai Yun Master¡¯s, who had the top score in tens of years.


    Apart from him, many also had high hopes for Bei Moi.


    Standing in the group, Lin Fan was slightly nervous since all these ¡®opponents¡¯ were stronger than him.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, will Brother Yang help you?¡± Lin Fan asked.


    ¡°Nope.¡± Zhao Feng decisively shook his head.


    The Floating Crest Trial was a place where their destinies could be changed and everyone who entered would try their best.


    Once they entered the Trial, Yang Gan would try his best and try to obtain the best score he could, which meant he wouldn¡¯t have time to help Zhao Feng.


    According to what 1st Elder said, rewards were accompanied with luck and the slightest mistake would be failure, even if one was at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°You¡¯re not worried at all?¡±


    Lin Fan glanced at Zhao Feng¡¯s confident figure and he couldn¡¯t help but admire him.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and he didn¡¯t reply. After realising the truth of this trial, he didn¡¯t worry at all. With his mysterious left eye, he had great battle power and survival rate.


    ¡°Comparing survival times?¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly in his heart as his left eye started to thump.


    Sou- Sou- Sou-


    Several auras at the True Spirit Realm appeared and landed on the Central Hall Division. The youths realised that the Clan Master, 1st Elder and 3 other Elders had flown near the Floating Crest Palace.


    Weng~


    The azure lightning around the Floating Crest palace gave everyone a mysterious feeling like they were in a fairytale. Zhao Feng sharply felt that the lighting around had reached its peak power, like it was ¡®full¡¯.


    ¡°Open!¡± 1st Elder exclaimed as a wave of True Force appeared from his palm and went into the Floating Crest palace.


    At the same instant, the Clan Master and the other 3 Elders also put their energy into the Palace. As the 5 at the True Spirit Realm put their power into the Floating Crest palace, the palace started to rumble and the lightning became even brighter.


    At last!


    All of the lightning condensed into one point and under the guidance of the 5, it merged into the azure palace.


    Huang!


    Everyone felt the air tremble and Zhao Feng used the power of his left eye to catch a wisp of a transparent ripple appear with the Floating Crest Palace as it¡¯s centre.


    Although his left eye could see through the eyepatch, its vision would decrease. But even then, Zhao Feng could see the 5 using an ancient array on the Floating Crest Palace itself to open it or else, the lightning surrounding it could have killed them.


    After sustaining it for a while, the gate of the Floating Crest Trial opened with a ¡®bang¡¯ and the lighting inside was so bright that even Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t see through it with his left eye.


    ¡°The Floating Crest Palace has finally opened!¡±


    Everyone was excited and a staircase appeared at the entrance of the palace.


    The 5 at the True Spirit Realm stepped onto the staircase and they signalled for the 10 below to come up.


    Sou! Sou! Sou¡­


    The 10 elite disciples at the Ascended Realm all circulated their True Force to help themselves fly and land on the staircase.


    Standing on the stairs, Zhao Feng could feel a very ancient, old aura from the shining, white palace.

 165 Black Metal Monster

    The ten elite disciples stood in a straight line on the stairs and the Clan Master and the 4 Elders had weaker auras. After recovering for a bit, their gazes landed on the 10 disciples who were full of excitement and expectation.


    The Broken Moon Clan Master smiled and nodded her head at Ran Xiaoyuan as encouragement. 1st Elder was calm as he looked at Yang Gan and Zhao Feng full of expectation. Elder Xue, Hai Yun Master and Granny Liuyue had their own disciples participating and Zhao Feng felt like the Floating Crest Trial was actually a battle between the Elders of the Clan.


    In the group, Quan Chen¡¯s eyes flashed coldly as he glanced at Zhao Feng. Ever since Zhao Feng had become a disciple of 1st Elder, Quan Chen had suppressed his anger and he waited for this chance - the Floating Crest Trial.


    This trial was full of danger and rewards, and there were cases of people dying. The most important thing was that the cultivators at the True Spirit Realm couldn¡¯t even see what happened inside.


    Weng~


    The entrance of the Floating Crest Palace trembled slightly and a ¡®green door¡¯ appeared from the bright white light. After a few breaths, the green door stabilized.


    ¡°The entrance has stabilized and it will automatically close when 10 people have entered.¡± 1st Elder warned.


    Shua! Shua!


    All 10 used their speed skills and turned into blurs as they sped past the green door.


    Shua!


    The second Zhao Feng passed through the door, he felt a numb feeling wash over him.


    The next instant.


    Everyone landed on a black golden road that was 10 yards wide. In this dim place, the sights of everyone was restricted, even though they had all reached the Ascended Realm.


    But there was one exception and that was Zhao Feng!


    The dim light didn¡¯t affect him much.


    ¡°Why can¡¯t we move?¡±


    The 10 elite disciples felt their body become numb or hard and they couldn¡¯t control their bodies.


    Qiu! Qiu Qiu¡­


    In the dim light, a few bright lights appeared, which turned into 10 transparent tokens and merged into their bodies with a ¡®shua¡¯.


    At the same time, a voice sounded in their heads: ¡°The Floating Crest Trial has begun and the Floating Crest Token, which has just merged into your bodies, will be used to record your score.¡±


    The group had been told this before they had entered the Palace, so they weren¡¯t surprised.


    ¡°The longer one stays, the better the result. The number of trials passed as well as your performance in the trials will also affect your final score and the final score will decide the reward.¡± The mechanical voice sounded once again like it was just announcing the rules.


    At this time Zhao Feng felt the numbness disappear which allowed him to move again.


    ¡°The first trial: Abyss of Death - 3 days time.¡± The robotic voice said this, then it vanished.


    Everyone stood on the black and gold road and they didn¡¯t know what to do. The road was made of a hard material, which gave a cold feeling. With the group¡¯s strength, they couldn¡¯t even damage it.


    On both sides of the path was a deep abyss and the howling winds could change at any time.


    Zhao Feng calculated that apart from the 3 Core disciples who could block the wind for some time, everyone else would instantly be ripped to shreds. The only safe place was the black and golden path.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s back suddenly went cold as he felt danger appear behind him.


    Dang! Dang! Dang¡­..


    From the pitch black path behind them, a soul-shaking sound appeared. At the same time, a terrifying aura also spread out.


    What is it?


    Everyone, including the 3 Core disciples, turned around but could only see a blurry figure.


    Oh my god¡­


    Zhao Feng turned around and he was instantly shocked by what he saw.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately told Lin Fan before speeding off and the latter followed Zhao Feng without any hesitation.


    Quan Chen and the others were all puzzled, but the metallic footsteps behind them became closer and closer. The aura from it also pressured them, causing their blood to solidify.


    Of the 10, there were a few who instinctively followed Zhao Feng and ran forward.


    Dang! Dang¡­


    In the darkness, a black metal monster 3 yards tall appeared and a pair of green eyes had opened. There was also a pair of dark green wings on the black metal monster¡¯s back which had a 10 yard span.


    ¡°What is that thing?¡±


    The hearts of everyone trembled.


    ¡°Everyone run! That monster¡¯s aura is at the True Spirit Realm.¡± Yang Gan exclaimed.


    Even someone as strong as him, who had reached the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm, was helpless against someone of the True Spirit Realm.


    The result of anyone facing the black metal monster would be instant kill.


    No one could deny this and Zhao Feng¡¯s eyesight was the best. After he saw the black metal monster, he instantly ran without hesitation.


    Run forward.


    There was no other path.


    Behind them was a black metal monster and on both sides was the abyss.


    Sou-- Sou-- Sou--


    The 3 Core disciples had the fastest speed and in the blink of an eye, they had surpassed Zhao Feng.


    Lin Fan¡¯s expression changed, but there was nothing he could do.


    Of the 10 participating, the 3 Core disciples were the strongest.


    Deng! Deng! Deng¡­


    The black metal monster¡¯s footsteps sounded slow, but its speed wasn¡¯t. It would surpass 10 metres with every step.


    The deep footstep sound and aura of the True Spirit Realm made the hearts of everyone jump and fill them with fear.


    ¡°We¡¯ll all be instantly killed when we get caught by this black metal monster." Quan Chen thought in fear.


    In this desperate situation, how could he bother about Zhao Feng?


    Despair! Death!


    Everyone started to sprint at their max speed.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, why don¡¯t you run faster?¡±


    Lin Fan ran alongside Zhao Feng, but he found that the latter¡¯s speed was constant.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s sharp eyes glanced backwards and he said in a low tone: ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear that the 1st round would be 3 days long?¡±


    Lin Fan first paused, then his expression changed dramatically as he took in a cold breath.


    ¡°Can you maintain max speed for 3 days?¡± Zhao Feng asked calmly.


    ¡°Impossible. I can only stay at my max speed for 2 hours.¡± Lin Fan shook his head.


    If he accelerated to his max speed, he was even faster than horses. But he would spend too much energy and the 1st trial was 3 days long.


    ¡°The trial won¡¯t send a complete monster at the True Spirit Realm to kill us or else, do you think we would have any chance of survival?¡± Zhao Feng continued asking.


    ¡°No way.¡± Lin Fan said without hesitation.


    Facing someone at the True Spirit Realm, they wouldn¡¯t be able to resist at all. Even if the 10 grouped together, they would still be killed in one hit.


    ¡°The speed of the black metal monster behind us is only at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm. All we need to do is maintain this speed and not be caught in 3 days. Then, we will successfully pass the 1st trial.¡± Zhao Feng gave his answer.


    His eyesight was the best and he knew the speed of the black metal monster.


    Everything about it had reached the True Spirit Realm apart from its speed and its speed was lower than anyone here.


    That¡¯s how it is!


    Lin Fan immediately controlled his speed to save his energy. At the same time, he couldn¡¯t help but admire the youth in front of him more. Zhao Feng¡¯s calmness and control had reached an unbelievable level.


    Dang! Dang! Dang¡­


    The metallic footsteps sound slowly became smaller.


    Zhao Feng and Lin Fan maintained their speed and because they were just a bit faster than the black metal monster, the distance between them would increase over time.


    A few hours later.


    Hu! Hu!


    Liu Yue¡¯er and Sun Yuanhao in front were resting on the ground, recovering their energy. At the speed they were running, the energy they had expended was a lot.


    ¡°You two weren¡¯t caught by the black metal monster even though you guy¡¯s ran that slowly?¡±


    Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s eyebrows scrunched up as she said surprised.


    ¡°Haha, our speed is just a tiny little bit faster than the black metal monster. En, just a bit longer and the blockhead will catch up.¡± Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    After the slight pause, he and Lin Fan then slowly kept on running, like they had just stopped to look at the view.


    ¡°That¡­ is possible?¡±


    Liu Yue¡¯er and Sun Yuanhao looked at each other with disbelief, but the sound of metal footsteps instantly appeared.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    The two saw the huge black shadow behind them that released the terrifying aura, which almost froze their blood.


    The first trial - Abyss of Death - time: 3 days.


    Half a day had passed and the disciples in front didn¡¯t run for long before their energy had expended. Although they had pills, which could recover their energy, it wasn¡¯t good for the body if they were continuously used.


    Zhao Feng and Lin Fan were the first to find how the black metal monster worked and they used the smallest amount of energy for the biggest gain. The other disciples sprinted for a while, then they would then sit down and recover. But when they had just fully recovered, the black metal monster had caught up again.


    Of course, not everyone was a retard and soon, everyone found the best possible way to deal with the monster.


    The second day.


    A few of the disciples started to feel tired, but the black metal monster behind them wasn¡¯t since it was a mechanical machine and not made out of blood and bones.


    At this time, the scenery to the two sides on the road started to change. At first, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t understand what was happening until he found a skeleton lying in a broken room.


    The skeleton looked like it had been in the room for a very long time, but the bones still glowed faintly. Next to it were a few items: a pile of primal crystal stones, a broken bamboo sword, a jade ornament and a few ancient books¡­


    The 3 core disciples were all here and looking at it.

 166 Critical Temptation

    Zhao Feng found that the wooden room was about 100 yards from where he was and in between was the abyss.


    Under normal circumstances,, those at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm couldn¡¯t fly. They can float in the air for 100 yards but the wind on top of the abyss was so strong that even cultivators at the 3rd Sky would be ripped to shreds in a few breaths.


    At this moment, the 3 Core disciples all stood on the edge of the black and golden road, but they didn¡¯t make any moves.


    The pupil of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye slightly contracted as he inspected the skeleton and the items close up.


    ¡°The skeleton has been here for a long time, but the bones are still faintly glowing, meaning that this person¡¯s cultivation was at the True Spirit Realm or higher when he/she lived.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    It wasn¡¯t just him who saw this, the 3 Core disciples also saw this.


    The items had been left behind for a very long time, but they hadn¡¯t rusted or broken, which meant that they were not simple.


    Broken bamboo sword, Jade ornament, ancient books¡­


    The materials of these items were all unique and like the bones, they weren¡¯t worn.


    ¡°If I could get the items next to the corpse, it wouldn¡¯t matter even if I failed this trial. The items left behind by a cultivator at the True Spirit Realm may be Spiritual class skills or Spiritual weapons¡­ ¡±


    Quan Chen was extremely excited and he couldn¡¯t contain his greed.


    Everyone looked expectantly at the items next to the skeleton and Zhao Feng soon came to a conclusion:


    1. The broken bamboo sword should be a Spiritual weapon and even if it had no spirit inside, it was still on par with an Elite class Mortal weapon at least.


    2. The material of the jade ornament was extremely unique and it seemed to have a power flowing around it. The price of it might not be as much as a Spiritual weapon, but it shouldn¡¯t be much off.


    As for the 2 old books, no one knew precisely what the class was, but with the skeleton¡¯s cultivation, before he/she died, it should be a Peak class Mortal skill at the minimum.


    These items might even surpass the rewards from the 1st place of the Trial.


    Even Zhao Feng had the urge to grab them, but his eyes twinkled and sighed: ¡°Go!¡±


    Lin Fan didn¡¯t hesitate at all and he followed Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Indeed, even those at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm didn¡¯t have full confidence to reach the wooden room and return unharmed.¡± Lin Fan thought.


    Those at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm only had a 20% chance at success and Yang Gan, who had the highest cultivation, might have 30-40% depending on how strong the wind was.


    ¡°My goal is 1st place and beat Hai Yun Master¡¯s score.¡±


    Yang Gan¡¯s eyes became sharp as he left as well.


    Next, Quan Chen and Lu Hu both sighed and they started running again.


    Most of the disciples would hesitate in front of these items, but they would leave after a while. They were all elite disciples and they could control their greed. Furthermore, the chances of success were far too low and those under the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm almost had no chance.


    After that, massive stones began to appear on the two sides on the road with ¡®rewards¡¯ written on them.


    At a certain point.


    A forest with dense energy appeared in the abyss and one could see the treasures in it with their eyes.


    ¡°Spiritual Tasty Fruit can help those under the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm. One fruit can help the cultivator jump one Sky straight away.¡± Liu Yue¡¯er exclaimed as she recognised the fruit.


    ¡°Moon Dragon Root, the rumoured treasure which increases the body¡¯s attributes and even has a chance of giving an ancient special talent¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng stared at the forest in front and he took in a deep breath.


    The bait was just too strong.


    There were too many treasures here that could change one life and destiny, just like Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    Zhao Feng even found some heaven defying materials, which could be used to increase one¡¯s talent.


    The treasures of this forest surpassed everything else they saw so far. If one of them could enter the forest and change their destiny, the True Spirit Realm wouldn¡¯t be hard to reach.


    ¡°Spiritual Tasty Fruit! Scarlet Dragon Fruit!¡±


    The eyes of a disciple at the peak 3rd Sky shone with greed. This person was Chen Yue, the only person that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t familiar with.


    Teng!


    Chen Yue exclaimed as he circulated his True Force to form a scarlet red wave, which propelled him towards the abyss.


    Hu~


    The wind above the abyss started to move, which made Chen Yue¡¯s face go red. He used everything he had and ran about 10-20 yards before the layer of True Force around him crumbled.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡±


    Chen Yue screamed before falling into the abyss and disappearing from view. This scene stunned all the other disciples.


    ¡°With Chen Yue¡¯s peak 3rd Sky cultivation, he could only run about10-20 yards in the air, not even one-fifth of the total distance.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was extremely solemn. His cultivation was lower than Chen Yue¡¯s, meaning that the quantity of True Force he had was lower than the latters. But it was better in terms of pureness.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Lu Hu, a core disciple shook his head and left. At first, he wanted to try because he was at the 4th Sky and his forte was body strengthening. But after seeing what had happened to Chen Yue, Lu Hu knew that he could only travel 40-50 yards at best before falling into the abyss.


    ¡°Let¡¯s continue running.¡±


    Everyone sighed and suppressed the greed in their hearts as they started to run again.


    Jiang! Jiang! Jiang¡­


    The black metal monster behind them didn¡¯t know tiredness or food and it kept on chasing. Even though the speed of the disciples was fast, they still needed time to rest and recover, meaning that they wouldn¡¯t be able to fully throw the monster off.


    ¡°30% chance.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he stared at the forest, but he gave up in the end. The road of the Floating Crest Trial was long and there would definitely be more rewards later on.


    This was just the first Trial and it was the road of temptation, not just the road of death.


    ¡­¡­¡­..


    The entrance of the Floating Crest Palace.


    Weng!


    A weird green light shined from the door.


    ¡°This fast?¡±


    The 4 Elders and the Clan Master were all surprised. The circle faded and a figure appeared - it was Chen Yue.


    ¡°What made you come out so quickly?¡± Elder Xue asked deeply.


    Chen Yue¡¯s expression was grey as he told the Elders and Clan Master what had happened.


    ¡°You¡¯re an inner disciple and you can¡¯t even resist this temptation?¡± Granny Liuyue said disdainfully.


    ¡°It¡¯s not all his fault. This Trial seems to be harder than the previous ones - they were chased by a monster at the True Spirit Realm and the rewards on the path was great.¡±


    The Broken Moon Clan Masters¡¯ soft and charming voice sounded.


    ¡°The harder it is, the greater the final reward. Unfortunately, this youngster didn¡¯t even pass the first Trial, meaning that he won¡¯t get any rewards. Luckily, this is just a ground of Trial for those of the Righteous. Can you imagine him coming back alive if he went to a Demonic Trial?¡± 1st Elder faintly smiled.


    The Elders weren¡¯t very surprised at Chen Yue¡¯s failure since their own disciples were still participating.


    ¡­..


    In the blink of an eye, 2 more days had passed in the Trial.


    Jiang! Jiang!


    The black metal monster chased effortlessly, although it¡¯s speed wasn¡¯t very fast. Most of the disciples had to rely on their willpower and pills to continue.


    Of them all, Yang Gan was the most relaxed. His cultivation was the highest and his speed was several tiers higher than the black metal monsters.


    Even Quan Chen started to feel tired. The disciples under the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm had to push on bit by bit, step by step to avoid being killed by the monster behind them.


    Everyone had finally understood that the 1st Trial Abyss of Death meant that they would be chased for 3 days and 3 nights straight, while temptation would be on the path as well, trying to distract them.


    ¡°There¡¯s only half a day left. Everyone, keep it up!¡±


    Yang Gan cheered on from the front, but this was all he could do. Even he would be instantly slaughtered by the monster.


    Yang Gan¡¯s gaze landed on the only other disciple of 1st Elder, Zhao Feng. The latter¡¯s breathing rate was even and he had a calm expression unlike many others. It was Lin Fan beside him who had sweat pouring down his face, but he continued with his strong willpower.


    The thing that surprised Yang Gan most was that Zhao Feng and Lin Fan both had the lowest cultivation in the group, but they could continue up to here. Especially Zhao Feng, he seemed much more relaxed than most others.


    At this time, the temptations¡¯ on the two sides of the path became closer and closer.


    These temptations were 100 hundred yards away, but now some were at 70-80 yards with the lower range even being at 50-60 yards away.


    But through 2 days of continuous running, the energy that the people had had dropped. Furthermore, the value of the items dropped compared to before.


    ¡°The greater the reward, the bigger the risk. While the difficulty drops, it also means that the rewards drop in value as well.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head silently.


    As they ran, his left eye kept on scanning the rewards that popped up and he analysed the success chance. However, the success rate of most rewards were lower than 50% and the items weren¡¯t that great.


    At a certain moment.


    The scenery of the abyss suddenly changed and a weird pavilion about 4-5 yards big appeared 20-30 yards away.


    From the pavilion came the sound of a lute and a beautiful women sat there. The women had creamy white skin and thin black eyebrows. Her every smile was filled with limitless temptation, which made those that looked become dazed.


    Such a strange scene made the disciples wary, but when their eyes landed on the women, everyone felt a beauty go straight into their body and soul.


    This place was only 20-30 yards away, meaning that power of the winds was smaller.


    The hearts of everyone sped up and the eyes of Lu Hu, Sun Yuanhao and Quan Chen were filled with obsession. The weird thing was that even Liu Yue¡¯er and Ran Xiaoyuan had dazed expressions.


    Almost no one could resist the charm of the lute. Of the group, only Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t affected as he stared at her with twinkling eyes.


    The first to react was Yang Gan, then Lin Fan, who clenched his teeth and restrained himself.


    Zhao Feng was slightly impressed - he didn¡¯t think that Lin Fan¡¯s willpower was even better than Quan Chen¡¯s.


    Da!


    Yang Gan exclaimed loudly and he woke up the remaining people.


    ¡°Brother Yang, it¡¯s only 20-30 yards away¡­ should we try¡­ ?¡±


    Quan Chen suggested, the women in the pavilion was far too pretty, like she was a goddess.


    ¡°20-30 yards is the closest distance so far¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes squinted as he estimated the success rate and the value of the items inside.

 167 Interspatial Bracele

    Abyss of Death.


    In the dim dimension, a woman played the lute full of emotion. Her skin was like jade and she was like a perfect carving. Every smile she made was full of temptation.


    In the eyes of anyone, she was perfection. Even under Yang Gan¡¯s shouting, Quan Chen and co. didn¡¯t really want to pass this ¡®reward¡¯.


    ¡°So beautiful, but way too queer¡­ ¡±


    Lin Fan had a stunned expression on his face and his face turned red as he thought about the dazed look he had before. Turning his gaze to the side, Lin Fan found Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was the same as usual and he wasn¡¯t affected at all.


    From the beginning till now, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. Lin Fan couldn¡¯t help but admire him. He didn¡¯t know whether it was because Zhao Feng¡¯s willpower was strong or it was because Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know information about s**.


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    Yang Gan took a deep breath and he forced himself to not look at the stunning girl as he coldly scanned Quan Chen and the others: ¡°This girl is definitely not simple to be able to appear here. Maybe you¡¯ve already all been tricked.¡±


    Hearing this, everyone understood what he meant.


    The Floating Crest Palace was closed off from the outside world and it opened once every five years. It was way too weird to have an exotic girl here.


    Cold sweat poured down from the disciples¡¯ body¡¯s as they didn¡¯t dare to look at the woman.


    ¡°Sister Yuan, what did you just see?¡± Zhao Feng said to Liu Yue¡¯er deeply.


    ¡°I¡­ ¡±


    Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s face went bright red as she slightly panicked, The person in the pavilion was the perfect image in their hearts. Men saw beautiful women and women saw handsome men.


    ¡°This reward is close, but I encourage everyone to give up. The first Trial is ending soon and according to the previous experiences in the Floating Crest Palace, there¡¯ll be at least some rewards if we pass the 1st stage.¡± Yang Gan said to everyone, then he immediately turned into a purple light as he sped off.


    ¡°There was a large amount of illusion mental strength in the pavilion, which tricked even me. If I was flying across and affected by the mental strength¡­ ¡± Bei Moi expressionlessly said and left decisively.


    Everyone was unwilling, but they knew that the pavilion was much too queer, so they had to give up and continue. Even someone like Quan Chen clenched his teeth and forced himself to look away.


    ¡°Brother Zhao?¡±


    Lin Fan suddenly realised that Zhao Feng had no intentions of leaving.


    ¡°You go first. With your current speed, you can pass the 1st stage.¡± Zhao Feng said calmly.


    Lin Fan was surprised but he didn¡¯t question Zhao Feng and immediately left. Only Zhao Feng didn¡¯t move and he was the last person behind.


    ¡°Brother Zhao¡­ ¡±


    A voice as loud as a quiet ant sounded from in front and glancing over, Zhao Feng saw Ran Xiaoyuan look worryingly towards him.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, you go first.¡±


    Zhao Feng faintly smiled as he looked at her once before looking calmly in front again.


    Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s fists were clenched and her eyebrows fluttered like she was worried that Zhao Feng had been tempted by the woman in the pavilion. Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression showed that he wasn¡¯t going to listen to her.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure suddenly leapt into the air and like a fish swimming, he floated towards the pavilion.


    ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Ran Xiaoyuan exclaimed in shock.


    Every reward was filled with danger and the scenery in the pavilion was extremely queer. They couldn¡¯t see through it, so they didn¡¯t dare try.


    Hu~ Hu~


    The powerful wind above the abyss swept up and down, forming wave after wave of attacks on Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Oh my god! Brother Zhao¡¯s been tricked¡­ ¡±


    Some of the nearby disciples were still within range to see Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®crazy¡¯ actions.


    Apart from Ran Xiaoyuan, there was still Lu Hu, Liu Yue¡¯er and Sun Yuanhao.


    ¡°What a deep movement skill!¡±


    One of the 3 Core disciples, Lu Hu was surprised. A layer of azure enveloped Zhao Feng, which made him merge into the wind and pass through the tiniest gaps of the wind. He used the power of the wind at the same time to push himself forward¡­


    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng had leapt out tens of yards. It was at this time that the scene in the pavilion changed. The exotic woman stood up and smiled at Zhao Feng. Such a stunning view made Lu Hu and co. dazed.


    It could be imagined how terrible it was for Zhao Feng to face such a situation.


    ¡°Hehe, beautiful¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled mockingly midair and he kept on running in the air like he wasn¡¯t affected at all.


    The girl in the pavilion was slightly surprised and she didn¡¯t think a brat, that hadn¡¯t even reached the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm, could block her illusion created from mental strength.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure swiftly landed on the pavilion and the scene shocked Lu Hu and the others.


    ¡°Husband!¡±


    The girl smiled emotionally as she began to undress, revealing her snow white skin beneath¡­


    The exotic beauty slowly took off her clothes, showing off her perfect body.


    It was such a breathtaking moment.


    ¡°F*** off!¡±


    A light flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eye as he kicked out. The beauty, who was just undressing, flew backwards and hit the pole with a ¡®doom¡¯.


    ¡°You¡­ ¡±


    The girl spat out a mouthful of blood as her face became pale white.


    Ah!?


    This scene made the jaws of those watching drop; Zhao Feng was way too brutal.


    Sou!


    The beauty suddenly turned into a wisp of purple smoke and the next instant, a purple fox was seen trembling in a cage.


    The scene of the fox trapped was extremely queer.


    ¡°This is an Illusion Fox, which is a ¡®Yao beast¡¯, a tier higher than Deadly Beasts.¡± Lu Hu exclaimed.


    Deadly beasts were a terrifying existence, but they didn¡¯t have their own mind and they only had a faint bloodline of Yao beasts or were tainted by pollution.


    True Yao beasts had high intelligence and bloodline of ancient races. They were ranked higher than deadly beasts and they could even cultivate.


    The Lord tier deadly beast at the Guanjun Province City that day was the lowest Yao beast, and it was on par with those at the Ascended Realm.


    In the Green Flower Continent, only a very low number of beasts had the power to flip the oceans and lead an army of beasts, which could easily destroy a few countries.


    Of course, the world of beasts had their own laws and there was a balance between them and the Clans.


    ¡°The Illusion Fox has probably reached the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm.¡±


    Lu Hu¡¯s eyes twinkled with wariness.


    5th Sky of the Ascended Realm, this had also surpassed Yang Gan, who had the highest cultivation here. But the Illusion Fox¡¯s forte was illusions created from mental energy and even Yang Gan wouldn¡¯t be able to block the mental energy while crossing the abyss.


    ¡°Brat, I¡¯m going to tear you to shreds.¡± The Illusion Fox said hatefully as it ground its teeth.


    If it wasn¡¯t because of the cage, it could easily rip humans at the 2nd or 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm into pieces. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother listening to it and went to the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.


    On the table was a plate of fruit, a bottle or wine, a bracelet and the lute.


    Zhao Feng extended his hand to grab one of the fruits to check what it was.


    ¡°This should be the Purple Spiritual Fruit that recovers body and mental strength.¡±


    Zhao Feng took the 4-5 fruits and then smelled the bottle of wine: ¡°This should be a low Spiritual Wine that can recover one¡¯s energy for those at the Ascended Realm.¡±


    Gulu!


    Zhao Feng took a small sip and he instantly felt his True Force, mental energy and stamina recover. After running for 2 days straight under pressure and tiredness, Zhao Feng was on the verge of increasing his cultivation.


    The last item was a bracelet and grabbing it, Zhao Feng laughed: ¡°This should be an interspatial bracelet and the worst interspatial storage items are valued a High grade mortal weapon already.¡±


    This bracelet was an item that could store things and its value was much greater than everything else on the table summed up.


    ¡°What!? Interspatial bracelet!?¡±


    Shock appeared on Lu Hu and co¡¯s faces.


    ¡°The worst interspatial item is already worth a high grade mortal weapon¡­ ¡±


    Lu Hu¡¯s voice slight trembled as greed appeared in his eyes. High grade mortal weapons were at least 1 million substandard primal crystal stones or 10 thousand low grade primal crystal stones. Furthermore, items that could store things were rare.


    Zhao Feng picked up the bracelet and he merged his consciousness inside. He felt the 1 metre cubed area inside.


    Shua! Shua!


    The purple Spiritual Fruit and bottle of wine disappeared as they were stored inside the interspatial bracelet.


    ¡°Interspatial items are indeed mysterious.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed and he couldn¡¯t help but remember how he had looked through all the books to gather knowledge.


    Finally, his eyes landed on the lute lying on the table and it was instantly stored in the bracelet as well.


    The lute was a middle grade mortal weapon which Zhao Feng had seen straight away, but musical weapons didn¡¯t interest him much nor did he want to use it. However, it could be exchanged for a sum of primal crystal stones to pay off the debt he had with old man Zhang and he could even buy the Luohuo arrows if he was lucky.


    ¡°Kid, don¡¯t get cocky!¡±


    The Illusion Fox howled and she was extremely angry at Zhao Feng for ignoring her. The fox once again sent a bunch of illusions, but Zhao Feng had a super strong resilience against it and no damage was caused.


    He had already seen the true figure of the girl when the pavilion had appeared, therefore he didn¡¯t even get affected.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body was like a fish as it swam through the air and landed back on the black and gold road in a few breaths.


    Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s small mouth was wide open with surprise.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, your rewards are great. You shouldn¡¯t keep them all to yourself right?¡±


    Lu Hu let a ¡®hehe¡¯ and he didn¡¯t hide the greed on his face. A large, powerful True Force circulated in his body and he sent out an aura that much much stronger than the normal 4th Sky aura.


    Lu Hu was one of the 3 Core disciples who¡¯s forte was body strengthening, his strength exceeded even Quan Chen.


    ¡°You dare to attack me?¡± Zhao Feng said coldly as his azure hair blew in the wind.

 168 Sent Flying with One Kick

    On the black and gold road. Zhao Feng faced off against the Core disciple Lu Hu.


    ¡°Do you dare to attack me?¡± Zhao Feng said coldly as his hair blew in the air.


    On the side, Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s expression also changed slightly and she stepped next to Zhao Feng.


    Sun Yuanhao didn¡¯t seem to have reacted and started to panic.


    The atmosphere became tense.


    Lu Hu¡¯s expression suddenly changed as he remembered that Zhao Feng had 1st Elder backing. Furthermore, Ran Xiaoyuan had stepped next to Zhao Feng.


    Ran Xiaoyuan was a disciple of the Clan Master and she had the same strength as Bei Moi.


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng as he knew that Lu Hu wanted a share but he didn¡¯t have to guts to attack.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, I¡¯ll help you.¡±


    A pure, innocent smile appeared on Sun Yuanhao¡¯s baby face.


    At this point in time, both Ran Xiaoyuan and Sun Yuanhao were on Zhao Feng¡¯s side.


    Even if Zhao Feng¡¯s side didn¡¯t have any background, Lu Hu would be wary.


    ¡°Hand over the interspatial bracelet!¡±


    Lu Hu¡¯s face was dim, but suddenly, he clenched his teeth and lept at Zhao Feng and co.


    What¡¯s he going to do!?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he didn¡¯t think that Lu Hu would still attack under this situation.


    Wait! There¡¯s something wrong!


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something and glanced towards the pavilion. The eyes of the Illusion Fox inside the cage had turned purple as a smile of mockery appeared on its face¡­


    Lu Hu¡¯s eyes was full of greed and he had lost his mind. He was originally greedy and when the Illusion Fox put an illusion skill on him, the greed in his heart increased by 10 times.


    ¡°I forgot about this foxy bastard.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became solemn as he decided to block Lu Hu first. The latter was at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm and he had reached a high level in body strengthening.


    Wind Lightning Destruction!


    Zhao Feng used his Heavenly Wind God Technique and Silver Wall Technique without hesitation and he managed to just block Lu Hu¡¯s crazy attacks.


    Feng!


    After taking a hit head on, Zhao Feng¡¯s figure retreated a few steps. Without using his left eye and his bloodline power, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have the upper hand.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, hand over the interspatial bracelet!¡±


    A cold youth¡¯s voice sounded from the side.


    What!?


    Zhao Feng felt a wave of air come towards him from behind and his expression changed dramatically. The person was Sun Yuanhao.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­ ¡±


    Lu Hu laughed insanely as his attacks became fiercer.


    Now, Zhao Feng was facing two attacks from the front and back respectively.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    Ran Xiaoyuan exclaimed as she turned into a blur and blocked Sun Yuanhao.


    Peng!


    Sun Yuanhao was pushed back by Ran Xiaoyuan in one move.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sweat and feel lucky that Ran Xiaoyuan wasn¡¯t affected by the Illusion Fox. One had to know that her strength was on par with Bei Moi¡¯s and if he faced the attacks of all three, he could only run even if he used the power of his bloodline.


    The illusions of the Illusion Fox could affect Sun Yuanhao and Lu Hu because they were already greedy and had weak will,while Ran Xiaoyuan wasn¡¯t greedy.


    Ran Xiaoyuan suppressing Sun Yuanhao made the situation better, but Zhao Feng was facing a core disciple of the 4th Sky and it was already a considerable feat to not lose.


    ¡°Looks like this is the only way¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure blurred and left a bunch of after images behind.


    His body was like the fish, agile and fast as he retreated under Lu Hu¡¯s attacks.


    In terms of cultivation and body strengthening, Lu Hu was better than Zhao Feng, but the latter was better in movement.


    Lu Hu was overwhelmed by greed and he didn¡¯t realise that Zhao Feng was retreating towards Sun Yuanhao and Ran Xiaoyuan.


    ¡°I¡¯ll first take care of you!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed suddenly increased and disappeared from Lu Hu¡¯s attack range.


    He appeared at Sun Yuanhao¡¯s side the next instant. The latter was originally suppressed by Ran Xiaoyuan and he couldn¡¯t react to Zhao Feng¡¯s sneak attack.


    Lightning Wind Palm!


    Zhao Feng thrust out a palm as thunder boomed and the wind howled.


    Wah!


    Sun Yuanhao managed to block that palm, but he was forced back to the edge of road and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°Go down!¡±


    Zhao Feng kicked Sun Yuanhao into the abyss with one kick.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡±


    Sun Yuanhao screamed as he fell into the abyss.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you killed him¡­ ¡±


    Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s face was pale white as she didn¡¯t know what to do.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s plan was to first finish off Sun Yuanhao, who was weaker, so they could team up and fight Lu Hu.


    ¡°His will is weak and he was influenced by the fox, so we needed to take care of him first.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel guilty at all. Sun Yuanhao had a pure and innocent baby face, but he was extremely cunning.


    ¡­.


    Floating Crest Palace, the entrance.


    The 4 Elders and Clan Master sat crossed legged there.


    Weng!


    The azure door suddenly brightened and a figure rolled out.


    ¡°Another person came out! So fast!¡±


    Hai Yun Masters¡¯ heart skipped but a beat but let out a breath as he saw who it was.


    ¡°Yuanhao!¡± Elder Xue exclaimed as he stared at the pale faced Sun Yuanhao.


    1st Elder and co. didn¡¯t know what to do.


    The person who was kicked out was Elder Xue¡¯s disciple, Sun Yuanhao who had the Changeable Body.


    ¡°Yuanhao, how did you come out so quickly?¡± Elder Xue said deeply.


    ¡°It¡¯s Zhao Feng! He took all the treasures himself and kicked me down the abyss.¡±


    Sun Yuanhao¡¯s face was bright red as he said angrily. He was still affected by the illusion right now and he hadn¡¯t calmed down yet.


    ¡°How dare he do that? This Zhao Feng even attacks others from the same clan.¡±


    Elder Xue was furious.


    The Floating Crest Trial was once every 5 years and every disciple only had one chance.


    Sun Yuanhao¡¯s talent was great and he was even younger than Zhao Feng. If he was successful, in the Trial his cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds.


    However, this hope was destroyed by someone that had a Low tier Spiritual Body.


    ¡°Is there a misunderstanding here?¡± 1st Elder said deeply.


    He knew that Zhao Feng seemed arrogant, but he was actually extremely calm.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng¡¯s trained the Lightning Wind Palm, which means he¡¯s not normal.¡±


    A smirk appeared on Hai Yun Masters¡¯ face.


    Hearing this, Elder Xue, Granny Liuyue and the Clan Master all nodded their heads.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait after the trial to question him. 1st Elder, I¡¯ll hand this over to the Regulation Division, which will be fair.¡±


    Elder Xue took in a deep breath as he suppressed the raging flames of anger in his heart. If it wasn¡¯t because Zhao Feng¡¯s master was 1st Elder, he would have exploded already.


    Weng~ gulu!


    The azure door flashed as another figure rolled out.


    So fast!


    The 5 at the True Spirit Realm were all stunned.


    How long had it been since the last person was kicked out?


    The Elders focused on the figure and they found that it was Core disciple ¡°Lu Hu.¡±


    ¡°What happened in the trial to make even Core disciples to get kicked out?¡±


    The expressions of the Clan Master and co. were all solemn.


    ¡°Lu Hu, how did you exit so early?¡± The Broken Moon Clan Master asked.


    They were all familiar with Lu Hu, since the latter was a Core disciple and a disciple of the Regulation Elder.


    In the Clan, the Regulation Elder had authority on the same level as the Clan Master and 1st Elder because he/she held the power to kill and punish.


    ¡°It was Zhao Feng! He wanted to keep all the treasures to himself and kicked my down the abyss.¡± Lu Hu said through gritted teeth.


    He was the same as Sun Yuanhao and was still under the Illusion Foxes spell.


    Zhao Feng again!


    The 4 Elders and Clan Master were full of shock and rage.


    The Floating Crest Trial not only changed the destiny of the disciples that participated, it could also changed the destiny of the Clan.


    And now Zhao Feng had sent a Core disciple and another disciple with a changeable body out in half the time it took tea to boil.


    Furthermore, he had used the same method - by kicking them into the abyss.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is so bad!¡±


    The other Elders looked at each other with anger in their eyes.


    ¡°How could you be beaten by Zhao Feng?¡±


    1st Elder caught onto something suspicious.


    Lu Hu¡¯s strength was just under Yang Gan.


    ¡°This is because of¡­ Junior Sister Ran!¡± Lu Hu said angrily.


    ¡°What has this got to do with Xiaoyuan?¡±


    The Clan Masters¡¯ eyebrows rose. In her eyes, Ran Xiaoyuan was always an obedient child.


    ¡°Sister Ran helped that bastard Zhao Feng or else, disciple I wouldn¡¯t have lost.¡± Lu Hu screamed as his two fists clenched together tightly.


    How was this possible!?


    The expressions of the 4 Elders and the Clan Master changed.


    Indeed, Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s strength was on the same level as Bei Moi and she was able to exchange moves with those at the 4th Sky. If she teamed up with Zhao Feng, there was a chance of beating Lu Hu.


    But why would Ran Xiaoyuan team up with Zhao Feng?


    ¡°Could it be¡­ ?¡±


    The Clan Master suddenly remembered how Zhao Feng had purposely lost to Ran Xiaoyuan in the Floating Crest Competition and then linked it up with what Sister Yuan had said.


    The expression of the Broken Moon Clan Master made the others remember what had happened when the two fought.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng even¡­ even made someone as pure and innocent as Xiaoyuan¡­ ¡±


    The Clan Master¡¯s face was cold as anger appeared on her holy face.


    At one time, the Elders were speechless.


    Finally, they reached an agreement: ¡°We must punish this Zhao Feng!¡±


    ¡­.


    On the black and gold road.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng sent Lu Hu flying with one kick and wiped the sweat on his forehead: ¡°This Lu Hu is indeed much stronger. Thanks to Sister Ran, we were able to beat him.¡±


    ¡°They¡­ They¡¯re all¡­ ¡±


    Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s eyes turned red as she sobbed.


    She wanted to help Zhao Feng before because the latter was being bullied. But now, Lu Hu and Sun Yuanhao had both been kicked into the abyss.


    Zhao Feng was somewhat guilty to Ran Xiaoyuan because it was his fault that Ran Xiaoyuan was a ¡®helper¡¯.


    ¡°It¡¯s ok, there¡¯s a weird array here so that when one falls into the abyss, they won¡¯t die and will get sent out anyway.¡± Zhao Feng assured.


    With his left eye, he had total control of his surroundings.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure lept into the air and landed in front of the pavilion again.


    ¡°What do you want to do!?¡±


    The Illusion Fox screamed in fear and anger.


    ¡°Want to do? It¡¯s all because of you.¡±


    Zhao Feng ignored the mental energy attack and he stomped his foot forward.


    Booom!


    After Sun Yuanhao and Lu Hu, Zhao Feng kicked another beast into the abyss.

 169 Lost Bat Cave

    After kicking the fox into the abyss, Zhao Feng had a satisfied feeling, like he was slightly addicted to doing this.


    However, he understood that the Elders outside would have a bad image of him. But luckily, Ran Xiaoyuan was dragged into deep waters by Zhao Feng as well, so there would be at least a witness.


    ¡°Everything in this world is about strength. When I get a terrifying score, what can the Elders do to me?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure lept into the air and he returned to the black and gold road.


    After running through the air twice, even Core disciples at the 4th Sky would feel tired. But Zhao Feng had a low grade Spiritual wine inside his interspatial bracelet, which refilled his energy as well as increasing his cultivation.


    Jiang! Jiang¡­ !


    Loud shaking footsteps suddenly shook from behind and a massive shadow appeared.


    ¡°Not good, run!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye saw the gigantic two winged black monster and he immediately signalled for Ran Xiaoyuan to run.


    The two sprinted and they finally escaped from the black shadow.


    Any time they wasted in the first round could mean death.


    After some time.


    Ran Xiaoyuan had tears in her eyes.


    ¡°Sister Ran, what happened?¡± Zhao Feng asked curiously.


    ¡°It¡¯s all my fault that Brother Lu and Brother Sun got kicked out of the trial. Sister Yuan is right, you¡¯re not a good person!¡± Ran Xiaoyuan sobbed and ignored Zhao Feng as she turned into an afterimage as she sprinted off.


    Zhao Feng shook his head and he maintained his speed.


    Half a day later.


    The black and metal road seemed to have reached an end and there was a big green door at the end.


    In front of the door was 5-6 people who were all sitting cross legged on the ground, recovering their energy. Any disciple would be tired after being chased for 3 days and 3 nights.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you¡¯re finally here.¡±


    Lin Fan let out a breath. He worried for Zhao Feng all the way here and the latter being here meant that he had reaped the rewards from before.


    ¡°You first eat this Purple Spiritual Fruit.¡±


    Zhao Feng handed over a fruit and after Lin Fan ate it, the latter instantly felt his energy recover and his cultivation rise a little bit.


    Zhao Feng had drunk low grade Spiritual wine and ate a Purple Spiritual Fruit, which had pushed his cultivation to the peak 2rd Sky.


    ¡°The Floating Crest Trial is indeed full of rewards. I originally needed at least a month to reach the peak 2nd Sky, but I¡¯m already at it in 3 days.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    His eyes twinkled as he saw Ran Xiaoyuan nearby who was sitting cross legged on the ground and he gave her another Purple Spiritual Fruit.


    His actions were sensed by the others.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, it looks like you got the rewards from a certain place. Not only did you get Spiritual fruits, you also got an interspatial bracelet.¡± Quan Chen said as he stared at Zhao Feng¡¯s bracelet.


    His words immediately caught the attention of others and even Yang Gan¡¯s eyes twinkled as he glanced at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I was just a bit lucky.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t decide to hide this since the interspatial bracelet was very handy. Now that there was no Illusion fox, the others wouldn¡¯t dare to steal it right here and now, even if they wanted to.


    Another while later.


    Jiang! Jiang¡­ !


    Terrifying footsteps sounded in the darkness.


    The black metal monster was coming!


    The hearts of everyone jumped, but the green door behind them didn¡¯t open.


    Right at this moment.


    In their heads, a sound appeared: ¡°The abyss of death has finished. Successful people are now awarded 30 points for the 1st Trial.¡±


    Huang~~~


    The green door then immediately opened and the black metal monster behind them stopped, like had become stone.


    ¡°Brother Sun and Brother Lu didn¡¯t pass the 1st trial?¡± Yang Gan said surprised as he scanned across the group.


    Sun Yuanhao didn¡¯t really matter, but Lu Hu was a Core disciple whose strength was only weaker than his.


    ¡°Brother Lu and Brother Sun were hit by illusions from an Illusion fox and fell into the abyss.¡± Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    Quan Chen and Yang Gan were both full of suspicion; the former especially so: ¡°So the two fell into the abyss and only you got the treasures and retreated without being harmed?¡±


    Zhao Feng hmphed coldly in response and he was too lazy to answer properly.


    This attitude made Quan Chen extremely angry. Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t even entered the Clan for that long and he already dared to ignore him.


    Thinking back the day when he had gone to the Guanjun Palace and crushed Lord Guanjun and taken away Bei Moi, Quan Chen didn¡¯t even pay attention to this ant.


    When did such an ant reach such a high level and dare to ignore him?


    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about this after the Trial. Right now, everyone shall focus on the Trial.¡± Yang Gan looked deeply at Zhao Feng and ended the talk.


    Ceng! Ceng! Sou¡­


    The group of 7 entered the green door under the command of the voice in their heads. The group entered a dim cave in the next instant. Like before the place was dark and there would be the occasional screech from bats.


    The 7 disciples felt a cold aura here, which made them feel unsafe.


    ¡°Everyone watch out, the dangers in this bat cave is probably even greater than the 1st Trial.¡± Yang Gan warned as he led the way at the front.


    Zhao Feng scanned the surroundings with his left eye and all the dangers were found.


    ¡®The second trial is called the Lost Bat Cave, Lost¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng focused on the word, ¡®lost¡¯. He analysed that the 2nd trial¡¯s landscape would be extremely complicated and dangers would lie amongst it at the same time. Yang Gan¡¯s cultivation was the highest meaning he had the strongest senses and he could already feel the dangers ahead.


    ¡°Stay close to me and never leave a one yard radius.¡± Zhao Feng said to Lin Fan.


    The latter nodded his head; he could also feel the dangers beyond. The group of seven headed towards the depths of the cave in one straight line but before 100 yards another intersection came up.


    Which path to take?


    Yang Gan instantly felt his head hurt. At this rate, it would be extremely hard, if not impossible, to walk out of the cave.


    A smirk appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. A map had appeared in his mind, which had the paths he had just taken. It was the same as a real map, where all the paths they had taken had been ¡®scanned¡¯ into his mind.


    As for the places that they had not explored, they were a ¡®black¡¯ spots.


    With a power like this, even massive mazes would be broken by Zhao Feng. Therefore, he wasn¡¯t worried at all and he acted like a tourist would. Zhao Feng¡¯s attitude fell into Lin Fan¡¯s eyes as mysterious and mighty.


    ¡°This Brother Zhao is far too mysterious. It¡¯s like the Floating Crest Palace is his back garden.¡±


    Lin Fan was speechless, with some admiration.


    Facing another intersection, Yang Gan suggested: ¡°Why not let Brother Quan and I both lead a team and leave behind some marks on the paths we take.¡±


    No one rejected this proposition and through discussion, the teams were as so:


    Yang Gan, Bei Moi and Liu Yue¡¯er.


    Quan Chen, Zhao Feng, Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t say anything, but Quan Chen¡¯s eyes grew cold.


    As the two groups separated, screeches of bats came from within the caves as the bats flew out. Zhao Feng saw that these bats had weird red lines on them and their eyes were blood red. The screeches from these black blood bats chilled their eyes.


    From one of the entrances came out tens of black blood bats, which charged at Zhao Feng and co.


    ¡°Attack!¡±


    A silver line appeared in Quan Chen¡¯s palm as he instantly killed 3 black blood bats. The bats were mainly at the 1st or 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm and only one of them was at the 3rd Sky. It sent out a sonic wave, which moved their consciousness.


    Lin Fan¡¯s blood boiled as he barely managed to block it and he slayed another black blood bat in front of him. Zhao Feng thrust out 2 palms and he killed a few black blood bats.


    A while later, all the bats were slain apart from the bat at the 3rd Sky, which screeched and lept into the air to escape.


    Beng~ Sou-


    A dark green arrow flashed as fast as lightning and it sank itself into the stomach of the bat.


    Plop!


    The body of the leading bat fell down and the rest of group glanced at Zhao Feng¡¯s Luohou bow. The power of the Luohou Bow didn¡¯t disappoint; it was able to slay the bat with just a bit of True Force.


    The bat¡¯s speed was extremely fast. If he used the Golden Stairs Bow, the speed of the arrow wouldn¡¯t be able to catch up and the leader bat could dodge it.


    After successfully killing a nest of bats, the group then proceeded to explore again and as they went deeper, the map inside Zhao Feng¡¯s mind slowly expanded. But at the same time, the unknown ¡®black areas¡¯ also became bigger.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was slightly solemn because the size of this bat cave was much larger than expected. After walking for another while, another group of bats appeared mainly at the 1st and 2nd Sky.


    ¡°The 2nd trial requires the participants to walk out in 5 days. Under this situation, we¡¯ll be tired to death.¡± Zhao Feng analysed.


    In just an hour''s time, Quan Chen¡¯s group had faced the attacks of a hundred bats.


    ¡°Everyone rest a bit.¡± Quan Chen sat cross legged on the ground to recover his energy.


    Zhao Feng, Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan were a bit better since they had eaten the Purple Spiritual Fruit, meaning that the energy in their bodies was still pretty full.


    The remaining energy could last another day or two.


    Si!


    A figure as small as a line suddenly appeared from within the cave and it merged with the surroundings.


    ¡°What is it!?¡±


    Quan Chen felt his waist hurt like he had been bitten.


    Shua!


    A grey poisonous snake dodged Quan Chen¡¯s True Force and flashed away.


    ¡°Not good! That is a Yao snake, which is poisonous¡­ ¡±


    Quan Chen moaned in pain as the part where he had been bitten started to become purple and numb. At this point in time, cold sweat flooded down from his forehead.


    Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan both felt cold.


    ¡°Is it this snake?¡± Zhao Feng smiled as his two fingers pinched a grey poisonous snake that kept on struggling.

 170 Mental energy assassination

    The grey poisonous snake was around 3 inches long and it was just slightly thicker than a thumb. The power contained in the snake twisting could easily kill a cultivator at the 1st Sky, but Zhao Feng¡¯s fingers were like iron as they clamped over the snake.


    ¡°Kill it¡­ Not good! I¡¯m poisoned!¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s face was green as he sat on the ground, trying to force the poison out.


    Both Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan looked at Zhao Feng weirdly. The snake was silent and it had merged with its surroundings - even Quan Chen had been bitten and even though the latter may have been careless due to tiredness, the snake¡¯s deadliness could still be seen.


    But Zhao Feng seemed like he already had his guard to catch the snake so easily. Lin Fan was even suspicious that Zhao Feng already knew that the snake was there, but he didn¡¯t warn Quan Chen on purpose.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s the Grey Shadow Dark Snake, one of the most poisonous Yao beasts with the effect of numbing the opponent. Within an hour, the poison will spread throughout the body and even cultivators at the Ascended Realm will lose control of their body¡­ until they die of starvation.¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    Hearing this, Quan Chen¡¯s face was grey because he had just eaten a detoxification spiritual pill, but it had no effect.


    Zhao Feng swiftly crushed the Grey Shadow Poisonous Snake and he took out the snake bile then ate it. The bile¡¯s flavour was bitter and spicy, but after it entered the body, a hot, flaming feeling spread throughout his body.


    ¡°The energy in the snake bile can strengthen one¡¯s soul and purify true force. This trial is indeed full of treasures.¡±


    Zhao Feng licked his lips as a satisfied expression appeared. Being a recognised genius in the Clan, he knew a lot about pills and poisons.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you¡¯re a pill genius - you must know how to detoxify this poison.¡±


    Quan Chen squeezed out a smile.


    ¡°There¡¯s no cure.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head and he looked at Quan Chen like he was looking at a dead person. He ignored Quan Chen¡¯s begging and cursing and surveyed the surroundings.


    A while later.


    ¡°Where are you going to run!?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed as he caught another Grey Shadow Poisonous Snake. Like before, Zhao Feng took out the snake¡¯s bile and ate it.


    The bile could strengthen the body and purify true force creating a solid foundation for Zhao Feng to reach the 3rd Sky. Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan were both stunned and dazed.


    The Grey Shadow Poisonous Snake¡¯s forte was hiding and merging with its surroundings, but Zhao Feng had once again found and killed the snake.


    After a bit of time, the poison in Quan Chen¡¯s body slowly faded away.


    ¡°How dare you trick me!?¡± Quan Chen said in anger.


    The poison could be fought back by his 4th Sky cultivation. Zhao Feng¡¯s words just then were probably just trying to scare him.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t lie to you, the snake can¡¯t threaten those at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm, so there¡¯s no need for a cure.¡± Zhao Feng said playfully.


    It was actually very easy to cure the poison. All one needed was to be at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm and circulate their blood and true force throughout their bodies.


    Zhao Feng had only told Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan about this point in secret. Zhao Feng was the only person who was knowledgeable about medicines amongst those who entered the Bat cave.


    Of course, there was another person who might know medicine and that was Liu Yue¡¯er. Her master was Granny Liuyue, the best pill master in the Clan. Being her disciple, Liuyue should have learnt a lot.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s expression was extremely ugly, but there was nothing he could do.


    Zhao Feng was like a fish in the water right now and he was much better suited for survival. Furthermore, both Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan seemed to listen to Zhao Feng.


    For the next one day and one night, the group of 4 scouted around the maze. Every once in awhile, they would face the attacks of the black blood bats.


    Apart from that, there was also dangerous Yao beasts hiding in the caves such as the Grey Shadow Poisonous Snake, butterflies and even pythons¡­


    Zhao Feng seemed like he controlled everything and he only helped Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan once or twice.


    Quan Chen was the one who faced everything and he got extremely tired while Zhao Feng and co. were like fish in the water.


    On the way, Zhao Feng slew many snakes and ate their biles, which allowed him the reach the requirements needed to break through to the 3rd Sky. Therefore, he gave some of the bile to Lin Fan and the latter had now reached the late stages of the 2nd Sky due to the Purple Spiritual Fruit and snake biles.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is far too weird¡­ ¡°


    Quan Chen¡¯s hairs stood up on their ends. Under this situation, not only was he not able to calculate Zhao Feng; it was him that met danger every time.


    Luckily, he was at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm, which allowed him to survive.


    Quan Chen decided to split with Zhao Feng because it was he himself who was in danger every time. This was too big a coincidence! He felt like Zhao Feng had been calculating it every time.


    ¡°We¡¯ve been here before.¡± Zhao Feng suddenly said as he pointed at an intersection.


    On the way, he had kept perfecting the map in his mind, but the map hadn¡¯t been fully completed yet. Zhao Feng analysed and estimated that they should have walked around one-third of the way and in another day, they should be able to find the position of the exit.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, because your memory and reaction speed is so great, why don¡¯t you lead the way?¡± Quan Chen purposely said.


    ¡°Sure.¡± Zhao Feng immediately answered.


    This way he could go explore the places they hadn¡¯t been to before and find the way out. The result was Zhao Feng¡¯s path had a very high encounter rate with the black blood bats. The further they went, the more bats there were. Zhao Feng felt uneasy like there was a bat nest up ahead.


    Just while he was thinking this, a large number of screeches could be heard from the area ahead.


    Sou- Sou- Sou...


    Limitless sounds of flying beasts sounded from within the caves.


    Retreat!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically. His figure flashed just as a heart shaking screech containing mental energy sounded. Everyone felt their minds hurt and Lin Fan¡¯s ears and nose leaked blood.


    The next instant, a solid, full one hundred or so black blood bats leapt at the 4. The bat leader, at the front, had a wingspan of 2-3 yards and every stroke he took would blow the dust into the air. It was a bat king and it let out an ear piercing screech, which caused the true force of the group to lost control. The bat¡¯s cultivation was probably close to the 5th Sky.


    Looking at the bunch of black bats, Zhao Feng¡¯s hair stood up. But luckily, the screech from the bat king didn¡¯t affect him. The 4 were surrounded and fought a tough battle. At critical points, they used their killing moves.


    Lightning Wind Palm!


    Zhao Feng thrust out one palm after another, which slew a few bats every time.


    Back Wave Sword Technique!


    Lin Fan held his long sword and he waved it through the air, causing airwaves which enveloped the nearby bats. Quan Chen had the highest cultivation and he teamed up with Ran Xiaoyuan to fight the bat king. The bat king screeched multiple times, which affected their consciousness and Quan Chen and Ran Xiaoyuan couldn¡¯t take it down in a short amount of time. At the same time, the black blood bats nearby grew in number with each of them at least at the 1st Sky.


    ¡°Break¡­ !¡±


    Quan Chen suddenly pulled out a long bronze sword and he sliced forward. This one sword instantly killed tens of bats and it left a bloody mark so deep that the bone could be seen on the bat king.


    That one sword had forced the bat king to retreat.


    ¡°Middle grade Mortal weapon.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    It was a Middle grade Mortal weapon, the same as Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s. But it was twice to three times stronger than when in the hands of Quan Chen.


    ¡°Good chance to slay the bat king!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    However, Quan Chen suddenly turned around and sliced heavily towards one of the exits before heading in that direction.


    Run?


    Quan Chen¡¯s actions made Zhao Feng surprised because if Quan Chen and Ran Xiaoyuan lasted a bit longer, they could slay the bat king. But Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that Quan Chen wanted to leave Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Run separately.¡±


    Facing such a vast amount of bats, Zhao Feng soon made his decision. Coincidentally, there were many paths here.


    Quan Chen chose one, while Ran Xiaoyuan chose another. Because Lin Fan remembered what Zhao Feng had said, the two took the same path.


    ¡°Quan Chen and Ran Xiaoyuan are both disciples of an Elder and the Clan Master respectively, meaning that they both have their own hidden tricks.¡± Zhao Feng thought and he didn¡¯t call Ran Xiaoyuan.


    The group of bats soon split into 3 and the bat king charged after Quan Chen.


    Two other bats at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm both led a bunch of bats and charged after Ran Xiaoyuan.


    Zhao Feng and Lin Fan were unlucky. There was a total of 4 bats at the 3rd Sky leading a horde of black blood bats following the two because there were more people here.


    ¡°Dammit! So unlucky!¡±


    Zhao Feng cursed as he realised that the path in front was a dead end.


    The bats following them were 70-80 in number with the 4 leaders at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, don¡¯t worry about me. You fight your way out.¡±


    Lin Fan understood that Zhao Feng was far stronger than him and as long as the latter didn¡¯t meet the bat king he could escape.


    ¡°There¡¯s no chance.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood where he was and shook his head.


    The 70-80 black blood bats screeched one after another, sending waves of sonic waves which enveloped the two in mental energy. The screeching together couldn¡¯t even be blocked by cultivators at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Plop!


    Blood leaked out of Lin Fan¡¯s mouth, ears and nose as he passed out.


    ¡°It¡¯s better this way.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood at the center of the mental energy attack and he circulated his true force to block the mental energy. Inside the dimension of his left eye, the azure light had reached 2 foot 2 inches and it kept on absorbing the mental energy from the attack.


    Zhao Feng slowly took off his eyepatch as his hair wavered in the wind.


    ¡°Mental energy assassination¡­ ¡±


    A sharp azure eye releasing an ancient aura appeared, like it was the lord of darkness.

 171 Rampage

    Wave after wave of black blood bats screeched in the cave, sending limitless mental energy attacks through the air. They shook the nearby walls, blowing dust everywhere.


    Even Core disciples at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm would be killed.


    In the centre of the bats, an azure haired youth stood mountain-still like a king, the mental energy attacks were like stones that sunk into the ocean. The aura of the azure figure suddenly rose rapidly and a sharp and transparent light shot out of his left eye, which spread out in all directions.


    Instantly.


    Expressions of fear appeared in the eyes of the nearby bats and the ones closer to the figure froze mid air, like they had been petrified.


    Tok! Tok! Tok¡­ !


    A few of the weaker bats fell onto the ground as blood leaked from their eyes and noses. Most of the black blood bats trembled in the air and they didn¡¯t dare advance any further towards Zhao Feng.


    The only ones that were able to barely withstand it were the 4 bat leaders at 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm. The leaders instinctively sent out another wave of mental energy sound attacks.


    Zhao Feng circulated his left eye and the azure light in his left eye had reached two foot nine, which supplied Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy and the latter could feel the massive source of mental energy in him. But only a small amount could be withdrawn since he didn¡¯t know how to use it.


    But even then the mental energy assassination spike could stun so many black blood bats.


    ¡°These bats know how to control their mental energy since birth.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye became sharp and the bat leader¡¯s body became transparent, revealing the organs, blood vessels as well as the Yao energy inside¡­


    In the bat leader¡¯s body, Zhao Feng saw a faint red mental energy source around the size of a grain of rice in it¡¯s head. Normal people wouldn¡¯t be able to sense mental energy, but Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye could clearly see the mental energy source as well as the way to use it.


    ¡°Mental energy must be used at a specific frequency.¡±


    A diagram appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s head. Although the bats¡¯ body was different to a human¡¯s, the way they used mental energy was the same and the method was copied into the dimension of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    Boi~~~~


    Zhao Feng circulated his True Force as a queer sound appeared from his mouth, which contained a trace of mental energy.


    Tok! Tok! Tok¡­.


    Waves of black blood bats fell down from the sky as blood leaked from their noses, ears and eyes¡­


    All the black blood bats under the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm couldn''t withstand this attack.


    ¡°This sound attack contains shocking from my True Force. Adding mental energy makes it far more effective on these bats.¡±


    Joy appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. The organs of the bats that fell from the air would be destroyed and even if some survived, they would be crippled.


    Just one sound attack made 10 - 20 bats fall.


    Boi~~~~


    The remaining bats scattered in different directions due to fear. Zhao Feng opened his mouth the second time, but even then tens of bats were left on the ground.


    Even the 4 bats at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm ran away in fear.


    ¡°Where shall you run!?¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly as he took out his Luohou Bow. His left eye flashed in azure and the power of Zhao Feng¡¯s archery skills rose.


    Sou! Sou! Sou¡­ !


    A few dark azure coloured arrows pierced the 4 black blood bats at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm with unbelievable speed. The Luohou Bow could surpass the speed of sound at best, but Zhao Feng could only use a bit of its power. But even then, the black blood bats weren¡¯t able to dodge its arrows.


    When Zhao Feng withdrew his Luohou Bow, the nearby black blood bats had already disappeared from view.


    Zhao Feng shook his head and he put the eyepatch back on. The mental energy attack just then that originated from his mouth meant that wearing the eyepatch didn¡¯t make much of a difference.


    Through this battle, Zhao Feng had found the way to use his mental energy. Instinct told him the true potential of his left eye hadn¡¯t been reached yet.


    ¡­.


    ¡°What the heck is going on? Why are the nearby bats running? It seems like they don¡¯t have clear consciousness as well¡­ ¡±


    A ruffled nut beautiful girl walked close to Zhao Feng¡¯s cave with a stunned expression.


    She was Liu Yue¡¯er, who had parted ways with them earlier. The team that she was in had met a large group of bats not long ago and Yang Gan had led the strongest as well largest amount of bats away while the others ran.


    Liu Yue¡¯er was finally able to escape from the bats chasing her, but unfortunately, she met another group of bats with a number so large that it could threaten her.


    But somehow, these bats seemed to be in fear and they were like headless flies flying in different directions.


    After walking for another tens of yards, Liu Yue¡¯er glanced at the bats at the ground and she saw that some of the bats had died while others were struggling at the ground with blood leaking from their eyes, ears and nose.


    Liu Yue¡¯ers heart shook as she thought about who could be so terrifying as to kill the numerous number of bats without leaving a tracr.


    The bats on the ground had no obvious injuries, but the organs as well as the vessels inside them had been destroyed and they had no clear consciousness.


    ¡°Sister Liu.¡±


    A cold voice sounded from the corner in front.


    Liu Yue¡¯er jumped up in surprise, but after seeing who it was, she let out a breath.


    Zhao Feng sat on the ground cross legged like he was healing. But from the way he circulated his True Force, it was like he was cultivating as well.


    Next to him was Lin Fan, who was already awake and healing.


    ¡°Were these bats all¡­ ?¡± Liu Yue¡¯er asked carefully.


    Next to Zhao Feng were bodies of many bats, including 3-4 bat leaders whose vitals had been pierced by arrows.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t respond and he started to cultivate while pushing his Heavenly Wind True Force to the max.


    He had reached a high level in his Heavenly Wind God Technique and the purification of his True Force was on par with those at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    In terms of his body, his Silver Wall Technique had reached the highest level possible. Drinking some Spiritual wine and eating Spiritual fruit as well as the snake bile increased his attributes to the peak 2nd Sky.


    Under the desperate situation, Zhao Feng had maximised his potential and he reached had the half step 3rd Sky.


    Now, the quantity as well as the quality of Zhao Feng¡¯s True Force rose steadily as he cultivated.


    To increase his cultivation speed, Zhao Feng would take a small sip of Spiritual wine every couple hours. The low grade Spiritual wine had a great effect for those under the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Lin Fan sat next to Zhao Feng and guarded him with a complex expression. After he had fainted, Lin Fan had no clue what had happened. When he had woken up, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t injured at all, but corpses of bats lay nearby in vast quantities.


    How similiar was this scene with the Scarlet Moon Demonic Cave?


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t leave immediately and he cultivated instead.


    Half a day later.


    Zhao Feng reached the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm and he released a chaotic aura.


    The difference between every Sky in the Ascended Realm was massive. It was a change in the food chain, the ones with lower cultivation would be suppressed.


    Difference in the food chain!


    At this moment, both Lin Fan and Liu Yue¡¯er felt an unknown pressure and they felt uneasy.


    Liu Yue¡¯er had extremely complex emotions. Although she had reached the peak 2nd Sky, she didn¡¯t have the requirements to reach the 3rd Sky yet.


    ¡°Ok, let¡¯s go now.¡±


    Zhao Feng rose slowly as his eyes sharpened and he led the way.


    Lin Fan followed closely behind.


    ¡°Going so fast!¡±


    Liu Yue¡¯er was slightly shocked.


    Zhao Feng knew the landscape pretty well and he was on a rampage. Even Yang Gan had to carefully travel.


    ¡°You can follow me or leave by yourself.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even care about what she thought.


    Liu Yue¡¯er bit her lips and after a bit of hesitation, she decided to follow Zhao Feng.


    A complex map appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s map, which slowly started to perfect itself¡­


    The reason he ran so fast was that he wanted to complete the map and exit the maze. After walking for a short time, a group of around 10-20 bats appeared ahead and this amount was able to threaten the 3.


    Liu Yue¡¯er and Lin Fan tensed up.


    Boi~~~~


    Zhao Feng opened his mouth and the group of bats ahead screeched in fear as they fell down with ¡®Tok Tok Tok¡¯, some of them flew away.


    ¡°Oh my god!¡±


    Lin Fan and Liu Yue¡¯er exchanged glances as stunned expressions appeared on their faces. All Zhao Feng did was open his mouth and the bats scattered in fear.


    After reaching the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm, the light in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye had reached 3 yards meaning that his mental energy was stronger.


    After this.


    Zhao Feng dominated everything in the bat cave. The bats were all countered by his mental energy sound wave. Any group that came would die or scatter in fear.


    Once, a group of a hundred black blood bats came, led by a bat king of the 4th Sky.


    The result.


    Zhao Feng activated his mental energy assassination to kill the other bats and then, he slew the bat king with his Luohou Bow.


    Of the participants, Zhao Feng was the first to break past the human sea tactic.


    Ignoring the human sea tactic!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy was enormous and he had the Spiritual wine to help him recover.


    Only numbness was left in Lin Fan and Liu Yue¡¯er apart from shock.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng was like the lord of darkness and as time passed, the map inside Zhao Feng¡¯s mind became more perfected. He then finally analysed the path that one must take to exit the maze and this included going past the central part of the map.


    The third day of the 2nd stage.


    A large cave entrance appeared with it being pitch black ahead, like it was the mouth of an enormous beast.


    Yang Gan, Quan Chen, Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan stood at the entrance with many bat bodies on the ground nearby.


    ¡°You guys came right on time, the headquarters of the bat cave is right ahead and it has many resources, which are now extinct¡­ ¡±


    Yang Gan was slightly surprised when he saw Zhao Feng and co.


    He thought that Zhao Feng¡¯s group would find travelling through the caves extremely hard especially, when Liu Yue¡¯er and Lin Fan¡¯s cultivation was the lowest. But from the current scene, the three seemed relaxed.


    Lin Fan and Liu Yue¡¯er were like two guards that stood on Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right.

 172 Bloodwash

    A total of 7 disciples gathered at the massive entrance. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, none of them had been kicked out, despite the massive increase in difficulty.


    The weird thing was that Zhao Feng, Lin Fan and Liu Yue¡¯er seemed to be very relaxed. They showed no sign of fatigue, and they were instead filled with energy.


    ¡°Brother Zhao¡­ you¡¯ve broken through?¡±


    Yang Gan felt the change in aura coming from Zhao Feng¡¯s body. Because he had broken through, his aura was wild and chaotic, and it wasn''t in its usual controlled state.


    Feeling a pressure bear down upon them due to Zhaso Feng¡¯s cultivation speed, Bei Moi and Quan Chen¡¯s expression changed slightly as they gave each other a complex look. This was especially so for Bei Moi since the difference in cultivation between him and Zhao Feng was now basically nonexistent.


    A surge of battle intent appeared in Bei Moi as he thought that this was a great chance to battle Zhao Feng in a fair fight. Bei Moi had absolute confidence in his own strength ¡ª he didn¡¯t even try his best in the tournament from before.


    ¡°I must not let him leave the Floating Crest Palace alive¡­ ¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s expression was dim and wary. His instincts told him that if he didn¡¯t dispose of Zhao Feng soon, then the latter would become a major threat to him.


    ¡°There are many things in this trial which aid me in my cultivation,¡± Zhao Feng said casually.


    The seven disciples that had survived up to this point in the trial had all made improvements; it wasn¡¯t just Zhao Feng that had improved. However, the latter was the disciple who had improved the most, with Lin Fan and Bei Moi following close behind.


    ¡°Ok, with the 7 of us teaming up, we can enter this cave. I have a feeling that if we break through this point then it¡¯d be much easier for us to finish this trial.¡±


    Yang Gan started to formulate a plan.


    Zhao Feng understood that there were thousands of bats within the bat cave, and that every one of them was at least at the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Bei Moi then said to everyone, ¡°According to what I found out, there is a Bat Emperor within the cave who has reached the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm. Apart from the Emperor, there are also 6 Bat Lords whose cultivation levels range from the 4th to 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm. Luckily, these Bat Lords are spread out far and wide within the massive area of the bat cave.¡±


    Hearing this, the others were all stunned.


    This news was found by Bei Moi, who had entered the caves with Yang Gan, with the latter catching the attention of the stronger bats.


    Overall, the bats¡¯ strength far exceeded the participants¡¯ in terms of quantity and quality.


    When facing the human sea tactic, even someone as strong as Yang Gan had to run, while the weaker disciples didn¡¯t even have the strength to protect themselves.


    ¡°We obviously can¡¯t fight them head on¡­. We must slay a few bat lords before the bat emperor appears. If that turns out to be successful, then we can get a few treasures on the way. If it¡¯s doesn¡¯t, then all we can do is fight to the exit. The worst case scenario is everyone going off in their own directions¡­.¡±


    Yang Gan told everyone his plan and there were a total of 3 different possible situations that could occur.


    1. The best situation iss that the group steals a few treasures on their way to the next area.


    2. The group teams up to fight a path to the exit, only choosing to protect themselves.


    3. The group falls into a desperate situation, meaning that no one would be able to help each other.


    After Yang Gan shared his plan he sighed in his heart. According to his analysis, the probability of the 1st plan succeeding was lower than 10%, whereas the 3rd plan had the highest chance of happening.


    This was because there were far too many bats, including the bat lords. Any hesitation could mean instant danger.


    ¡°This plan isn¡¯t bad, but what are the chances of winning against the bat emperor?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    The bat emperor¡¯s cultivation had reached the 6th Sky, the same as some Deacons within the Clan.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have much of a chance of winning, but I should be able to fight it for a while,¡± Yang Gan answered after thinking for a while.


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised when he heard this. It seemed Yang Gan¡¯s strength was stronger than he imagined.


    After discussing for another bit the group got ready to leave.


    ¡°Brother Yang, I think you forgot one possibility.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    ¡°What possibility?¡±


    Yang Gan was extremely surprised. In his mind, the worst possible situation had already been foretold.


    ¡°Bloodwash.The. Bat. Nest.¡±


    Zhao Feng said one word at a time to Yang Gan. A flash of shock appeared in his eyes before Yang Gan shook his head bitterly, ¡°Brother Zhao, you can stop joking.¡±


    Yang Gan then led the group and charged towards the bat cave headquarters.


    The 7 all had battle power comparable to at least the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm, with the majority being comparable to the 4th Sky or higher.


    Therefore, the scattered bats that were roaming around were all easily slain.


    ¡°Everyone keep it up, if we meet a bat lord we¡¯ll team up and kill it together,¡± Yang Gan ordered.


    The group delved deeper and soon met a group of around 100 bats that were led by a bat lord, whose cultivation was close to the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Flipping Cloud Palm!


    Yang Gan thrust out his palm into the crowd of bats ahead, instantly killing 5 or 6 of them.


    In the one move just then, the bat lord had been injured by Yang Gan.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be slightly moved, Yang Gan was far stronger than he had expected. No wonder he was ranked in 2nd of the core disciples, and had the ability to fight for the head disciple.


    Beng Sou~~~


    A dark azure light flashed into the bat lord¡¯s throat.


    Plop!


    The enormous corpse of the bat lord fell down to the earth.


    Yang Gan looked slightly surprised at Zhao Feng. The latter¡¯s Luohou Bow was extremely powerful, and could threaten those at the 4th Sky¨Cespecially when it was a sneak attack.


    After the bat lord had been destroyed, the remaining bats scattered in fear, with over half of them dead or injured.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you have some great archery skills. We can kill a few more bat lords together and I¡¯ll give you a higher share of the rewards we get.¡±


    Yang Gan smiled.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head in agreement. However, his aim wasn¡¯t just a few resources gathered in haste - he wanted more.


    The group continued forward and another bat lord soon appeared, this time leading around 100 - 200 bats, some of which included those that had just run away.


    This bat lord had actually reached the 5th Sky, and this time, Yang Gan could only gain the upper hand without killing it in a short amount of time.


    ¡°Northern Dark Heavenly Water - Heavy Wave Slash!¡±


    Bei Moi exclaimed as he lept into the air, leaving a few after images as he sent out a rippling palm that seemed to be 5000 kilograms in weight towards the bat lord.


    Boom!


    The bat lord was smashed into the ground by the combined attacks of Bei Moi and Yang Gan.


    Everyone¡¯s heart skipped a beat¨Cthey didn¡¯t think Bei Moi was this strong.


    Zhao Feng secretly analysed that Bei Moi¡¯s Northern Dark Heavenly Water Skill was on par with his own Lighting Wind Palm, if not stronger.


    The group of 7 disciples then teamed up and slew the bat lord.


    ¡°Very successful.We¡¯ve taken care of two already. We just need to finish off two more and everything will be fine.¡±


    Yang Gan laughed.


    Wait!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression suddenly changed dramatically, ¡°The remaining bats aren¡¯t running away.¡±


    Immediately after he said that, a soul trembling screech could be heard as a chaotic wind appeared, rocking the walls and revealing a bat emperor which had a wingspan of around 3.5 metres.


    The nearby bats instantly screeched in response, their morale rising in the presence of their leader.


    ¡°Not good! We caught the attention of the bat emperor so quickly.¡±


    Yang Gan took a deep breath and drew out an ancient, long, golden sword as he leapt into the air. He then slashed heavily towards the bat emperor, ripping apart tens of bats in the process.


    The long golden sword was a Middle class Mortal weapon, and with his cultivation, he could even threaten those at the 6th Sky.


    Hu~ Sou~~


    The bat emperor screeched loudly and flew out of the way of the sword attack, effectively nullifying the damage caused on itself.


    Sou! Sou! Sou¡­.


    Hundreds and hundreds of bats started to gather from all directions due to the call of their emperor.


    Apart from the hundreds of regular bats, the other 4 bat lords also surrounded the group.


    They were completely surrounded!


    The expressions of everyone changed. The worst case scenario that Yang Gan had predicted had happened. However, this was ever worse than imagined. There were also hundreds of bats who were at the Ascended Realm surrounding the group.


    The area was filled with screeching sounds, which made it difficult for everyone but Yang Gan to move.


    The untouchable sound wave was a mental energy attack which could affect their minds.


    ¡°Kekeke, there¡¯s so many bats all packed so closely together.¡±


    Zhao Feng was full of smiles.


    Quan Chen and co., who were engaged heavily in battle, couldn¡¯t help but stare at him in anger. How could he laugh in such a situation?


    Boi~~~


    Zhao Feng opened his mouth and a mental energy sound wave blasted out.


    Tok! Tok! Tok¡­.


    A wave of bats fell down to the ground.


    Instantly, 20-30 bats fell onto the ground as an area void of bats appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    The weird thing was that the sound attack only seemed to affect the bats, and didn¡¯t harm the nearby people. On the contrary, it seemed to partially nullify the bats¡¯ mental energy attack.


    Boi! Boi! Boi¡­.


    Zhao Feng continuously opened his mouth as bat after bat dropped from the sky, while some of them scattered in fear.


    This scene caused the others to be stunned.


    The mental energy sound attack seemed to counter these bats and even the bat lord would be full of fear when it approached Zhao Feng.


    In reality Zhao Feng¡¯s sound attack was changed according to the bodies of the bats and had the greatest effect on them.


    In terms of hearing, there was a great difference between humans and bats. Therefore, the other cultivators didn¡¯t feel anything.


    Sou~ Beng--


    Zhao Feng pulled his Luohou Bow and a dark azure light flashed into a bat lord at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    The jaws of the others nearby dropped.


    Zhao Feng was like a bat slayer who perfectly countered bats with his archery and sound energy skills.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, good job!¡±


    Yang Gan who was fighting against the bat emperor was overjoyed.


    Boi~ Boi~ Boi¡­


    Zhao Feng kept on opening his mouth and sending out mental energy sound attacks one after another, which were like waves that kept on killing bat after bat.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the azure abyss spun faster and faster, providing mental energy for Zhao Feng.


    In just a few tens of breaths, Zhao Feng had killed and forced around 100-200 bats to retreat.


    The bats that were forced to retreat had been mentally injured, and didn¡¯t respond to to the calling of even the bat lords.


    Everyone looked towards Zhao Feng in fear and shock.


    The remaining 3 bat lords glanced warily towards Zhao Feng and didn¡¯t dare close in.


    ¡°Everyone cover me and we¡¯ll bloodwash the bat cave!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice full of killing intent sounded out, making the others feel a surge of battle intent and excitement.

 173 Victory

    Zhao Feng gave off a very strong killing intent as he continuously used his mental energy sound attack, which either caused the nearby bats to fall unconscious or fly away in fear.


    The strongest bat emperor was held back by Yang Gan, and their battle made the other bats and the cultivators be incapable of drawing closer.


    3 of the 6 bat lords had been slain, and the remaining 3 didn¡¯t dare to close in on them.


    As for the other black bats filling the skies, none of them could come close to Zhao Feng and company; any that did would be felled or be compelled to seek escape.


    This meant that the bat side¡¯s biggest advantage, the ¡®number tactic¡¯, had been resolved by Zhao Feng.


    Up to now, none of the remaining disciples had died or been kicked out.


    The situation could be said to be great.


    ¡°We just need to kill 2 more bat lords, then we can all focus on attacking the bat emperor.¡±


    Zhao Feng suggested.


    After using so much mental energy sound attacks, he was starting to get tired, taking this chance to take a sip of his Spiritual wine and recover some energy.


    After a bit of discussion, it was decided that Bei Moi and Quan Chen would lead the offense while the others would protect Zhao Feng and support long-range.


    Boi! Boi!


    Zhao Feng spat out two sound attacks to help Bei Moi and Quan Chen slay another bat lord. Even these bat lords would be affected by Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy sound attack, allowing Bei Moi to seriously injure it with one hit.


    Zhao Feng would spit out sound attacks once in a while as well as pull out his Luohou bow.


    Soon, one of the three remaining bat lords was slain, with the other two being seriously injured.


    Zhao Feng thought that the result was set - the remaining two bat lords were seriously injured and not much of a threat.


    Right at this moment.


    Zhao Feng heard a screech that shook the wall, and the figure of the bat emperor knocked Yang Gan out of the way and charged towards him.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a life-threatening premonition of danger.


    The bat emperor was a Yao beast which had reached the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm and possessed heightened intelligence - meaning that it had already found Zhao Feng¡¯s importance.


    It had wanted to break through and kill the latter many times but was stopped by Yang Gan.


    Seeing his spawn killed one after the other, the bat emperor went insane and charged towards Zhao Feng even though it meant taking a direct hit from Yang Gan.


    ¡°Brother Zhao watch out!¡±


    Yang Gan exclaimed from behind.


    Zhao Feng might be strong, but he would be instantly killed when facing a bat emperor at the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Boi~~~


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and circulated all his True Force and activated his azure blood at the same time to form a mental energy sound attack.


    This mental energy sound attack was produced by Zhao Feng¡¯s full strength and contained the power of his bloodline.


    Qiu----


    The sound attack almost instantly hit the bat emperor, and even something as strong at the latter paused slightly.


    Zhao Feng was stunned - his mental energy sound attack was specifically designed for bats, and this attack which could instantly kill bats of the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm couldn¡¯t even harm the opponent.


    The bat emperor was only stopped by half a breath, but the latter only charged towards Zhao Feng with more ferocity.


    However, a lot of things could be done in half a breath.


    Zhao Feng quickly pulled back several yards as his figure twisted like a fish.


    Jiang!


    Yang Gan drew back his long golden sword and slashed it at the bat emperor¡¯s body, causing a long, bloody wound to appear.


    Sou-- Beng~


    Zhao Feng did a 180 degree turn while he ran and shot out an arrow containing the power of his bloodline with his Luuohou Bow.


    The moment he applied the power of his bloodline, Zhao Feng felt the Luohou Bow tremble slightly and give off a warm feeling. The arrow left an azure streak in the sky and reached an incredible speed.


    Shua!


    That arrow hit directly where Yang Gan had wounded the bat emperor.


    Zhao Feng understood that his attacks wouldn¡¯t be able to pierce through the bat emperor¡¯s defense normally, but this arrow had hit an already injured point and opened the wound up even further.


    ¡°Quan Chen, Bei Moi, help me!¡±


    Yang Gan signalled the two to help fight back the bat emperor and even though Quan Chen was extremely unwilling, he still went to support Yang Gan with his weapon in hand.


    If they were to fight head on, Bei Moi and Quan Chen both could be instantly killed by the bat emperor. However, Yang Gan was fighting the emperor and all the two needed to do was support.


    Boi~


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly and charged back towards the bat emperor as he sent out a mental energy sound attack to distract the latter.


    Even the bat emperor couldn¡¯t ignore Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy sound attack and was forced into a desperate situation.


    Zhao Feng maintained some distance and released arrow after arrow, hitting the already injured place.


    The bat emperor was forced back by the group and its injuries became more and more severe. It went absolutely crazy and tried to run away but was stopped by the group with Zhao Feng firing a mental energy sound attack at critical points.


    After half the time it takes to brew tea, the bat emperor finally fell heavily onto the ground, dead.


    After slaying the bat emperor, everyone let out a long breath and the remaining bats scattered. Even if some of them wanted to take revenge, they were forced back by Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy sound attack.


    As of now, there were several hundred bats dead in the cave, and 75% of them were killed by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you¡¯ve contributed a lot. If you weren¡¯t here, who knows how many would be able to pass through alive. After the trial finishes, I¡¯ll report this to the Clan.¡±


    Yang Gan said with gratitude and admiration.


    One had to know the 2nd trial was far harder than the first, and under normal circumstances there wouldn¡¯t be more than 3 to pass this trial.


    However, Zhao Feng was a game changer who had countered the bat¡¯s ¡®number tactic¡¯ and no one was kicked out of the trial.


    After killing the bat emperor, the group went deeper inside the cave, which had many treasures inside.


    Zhao Feng opened his left eye secretly and scanned the cave. He didn¡¯t take treasures easily, but they were definitely good items when he did.


    After walking to a certain point, a blood red wall appeared.


    ¡°Great! This is the spiritual fruit ¡®Scarlet Blood Fruit¡¯ which can significantly strengthen the body!¡±


    Quan Chen saw a fruit growing in the corner.


    Shua!


    A figure suddenly appeared before him and took the Scarlet Blood Fruit.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, I found this Scarlet Blood Fruit first!¡±


    Quan Chen said dimly.


    ¡°If you found it first, why is it I that picked it up?¡±


    Zhao Feng mocked.


    His left eye could see which items were around, but even then he could only pick a few from them.


    ¡°Stop arguing, Brother Zhao did the most work so he should get first priority. Furthermore, there¡¯s more than one Scarlet Blood Fruit.¡±


    Yang Gan said.


    Quan Chen was extremely aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do except go search for other treasures.


    The Scarlet Blood Fruit was a spiritual fruit containing the essence of the sun as well as the blood of animals, which greatly increases the attributes of the body.


    There was a high chance of someone breaking through to the next Sky if they were under the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    There was 5-6 of these fruits around and Zhao Feng got 2, Yang Gan 1, Bei Moi 1 and Ran Xiaoyuan got the last one.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes suddenly glanced towards a corner of a certain place. There was a faint silver/red type of fruit growing there which gave off a cold aura.


    ¡°Chilling Yin Fruit! A spiritual fruit with exact opposite properties as the Scarlet Blood Fruit.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure turned into a blur as he rushed towards that direction, but Yang Gan, Bei Moi and co. had also found the Chilling Yin Fruit at the same time.


    2 of the 5 Chilling Yin Fruit were snatched by Zhao Feng while the other 3 were split by Yang Gan, Bei Moi, and Lin Fan.


    The latter was always close to Zhao Feng, therefore he also received some of the light.


    Lin Fan found a certain pattern: as long as Zhao Feng went for something, good treasures would appear.


    However, it wasn¡¯t just him who realised this, Yang Gan and co. all had the same feeling.


    ¡°Why are you all following me?¡±


    Zhao Feng said out of nowhere.


    The other¡¯s laughed awkwardly and maintained a certain distance from Zhao Feng.


    After this, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t take many items and would only consider doing so if they had reached the Spiritual grade since he knew the others would be suspicious and greedy if he took too much.


    There were many treasures within the cave, but only one-tenth of them had reached the Spiritual grade. Oncence they were at that level, they would contain a lot of energy within them.


    Zhao Feng roughly calculated that of the tens of Spiritual grade plants he got, the Chilling Yin Fruit and Scarlet Blood Fruit were worth the most and that the others had a better effect when created into pills instead of being eaten straight away.


    Around half a day later, the items inside the bat cave were pillaged.


    There were a few people who immediately ate their treasures to consolidate and increase their cultivation.


    For example Bei Moi, the Chilling Yin Fruit he ate had the same elements as his Northern Dark Heavenly Water, which meant this could increase his cultivation.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really mind which elements the fruits had since the skill he trained in could absorb both, but because he had just had a breakthrough, it wasn¡¯t a wise choice to use treasures to increase his cultivation right now.


    Lin Fan ate a Chilling Yin Fruit and sat cross-legged on the ground, cultivating.


    2 hours later.


    Yang Gan was the first to leave. He wanted to be the first to exit the 2nd trial so he could gain more rewards from this trial.


    The others then left one after another, but Zhao Feng and Lin Fan still headed off together.


    After eating the Chilling Yin Fruit, Lin Fan was closing in on the peak 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm and his True Force had the element of of Ice in it, which greatly increased his power.


    The others such as Quan Chen, Ran Xiaoyuan and Liu Yue¡¯er all had improvements as well.


    The point of the trial was to squeeze out one¡¯s potential and then use resources to increase one¡¯s cultivation.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, why aren¡¯t you fighting for the title of the ¡°first to exit¡±?¡±


    Lin Fan suddenly asked.


    When the 2nd trial had begun, it was already mentioned that the less time one took to complete the trial, the higher the reward.


    ¡°I¡¯m not fighting for this.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head.


    ¡°Then, Brother Zhao, you¡­.¡±


    ¡°The rules mentioned that the performance in the trial as well as the number of trials passed will affect the result.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    ¡°The number of trials passed as well as the performance from them¡­ performance!¡±


    Lin Fan¡¯s eyes lit up as he finally understood.

 174 Sky Boundary Island

    The longer one stayed in the Floating Crest Trial, the better they scored. In addition, the number of trials one passed, as well as their performance during the trials also affected the final result, in turn which decided the final reward.


    Apart from Lu Hu and the other two disciples who had been kicked out in the first trial, the remaining 7 had gotten at least 30 trial points for successfully passing the first trial, and the disciples that had reached this point had also done well during the trials.


    Of course, the points gained from their performance was concealed.


    Every participating disciple had a Floating Crest Token embedded inside their bodies, and even Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t feel the existence of the Token; however, when he killed his enemies, his left eye was able to catch a glimpse of the slightest movement of the token.


    While he may not have known how many points he had, his score shouldn¡¯t have been too low after killing so many bats.


    Zhao Feng then travelled slowly around, the map within his mind becoming clearer and clearer. Although there were still a few remaining black spots in the map , the path to the exit had already been found.


    ¡°It¡¯s already been 3 days since the start of the 2nd trial.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that he couldn¡¯t waste any more time, even though there were still some treasures in the cave.


    His luck wasn¡¯t very good anyways, since he hadn¡¯t found any good items apart from inside the bat nest.


    Only Bei Moi and Yang Gan had gotten a few Spiritual items after entering an underground floor.


    Two hours later, a faint wisp of light appeared from ahead and the material under their feet slowly turned azure in color.


    The faint wisp of light became brighter and brighter until Zhao Feng saw the exit - a big, azure gate that was wide open.


    After passing through the gate a voice echoed about in his head, ¡°50 points are awarded for passing the 2nd trial. After 5 days are up, the 3rd trial shall open.¡±


    Within the gate was an azure hall containing energy several times stronger than the energy on Sky Moon Mountain. There were already 3 people inside: Yang Gan, Quan Chen and Bei Moi. The three sat cross legged on the ground, digesting the plants they had gotten before.


    Bei Moi had the fastest improvement of the three, with his aura pushing towards the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Yang Gan was also progressing forward; however, the further one cultivated, the harder it was to progress. At his level, every inch gained in cultivation required tons of effort. Despite all this, Yang Gan had still reached the late stages of the 5th Sky, and after the trial, he even had the chance to try and reach the 6th Sky.


    Another half of a day later, Liu Yue¡¯er and Ran Xiaoyuan both walked through the gate and into the hall.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, the ones that arrived later didn¡¯t get any extra bonuses.


    The 2nd trial.


    Yang Gan was the fastest and therefore got an extra 30 points.


    Bei Moi and Quan Chen both received an extra 20.


    One had to know the points for passing the 1st trial gave only 30 points.


    It wasn¡¯t easy to get these points, and after the trials ended they had many uses.


    Time passed by slowly, and everyone used the last bit of time to increase their strength.


    Zhao Feng, Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan, and Lin Fan all made major improvements in their cultivation. This was especially so for Zhao Feng, who had already broken through before the 2nd trial had even ended.


    Apart from that, both Ran Xiaoyuan and Lin Fan were both at the point of a breakthrough as well.


    Finally.


    A voice sounded in their head, ¡°The Floating Crest Trial shall enter the 3rd stage, ¡°Sky Boundary Island.¡± There are many rewards here and no time limit. The longer one survives, the better they score. This is the last stage of the trial - after 10 days have passed, Black metal monsters at the True Spirit Realm shall come and try to kill you. The longer one survives their pursuit, the more difficult the pursuit shall become.¡±


    As the voice faded away, a sparkling azure door opened on the other side of the hall.


    Zhao Feng instinctively opened his left eye, his expression instantly turning weird.


    He knew a few things about arrays and using left eye, he could tell the type of array he was looking at.


    ¡°We can¡¯t be together for the last stage - it¡¯s all up to you now.¡±


    Zhao Feng said to Lin Fan and the latter said gratefully, ¡°I could only reach this far thanks to Brother Zhao. I¡¯ll try my best for the last stage.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and felt that Lin Fan already had achieved the requirements to reach the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm. If he was able to break through during this stage he should be able to get a good score.


    Shua! Shua! Shua¡­


    The 7 disciples vanished one after another as they entered the sparkling door.


    ¡­.


    Sky Boundary Island - the last stage.


    Lin Fan¡¯s body descended into a canyon and felt the energy around him was pure and full.


    ¡°The energy here is so pure that one¡¯s cultivation speed would be ten times as fast as the Sky Moon Mountain.¡±


    Lin Fan was stunned.


    After that he then surveyed the area but there was no one in sight.


    ¡°Brother Zhao is too mysterious and smart. Everyone wh9 entered the third stage were sent to different corners in the Sky Boundary Island.¡±


    Lin Fan took in a deep breath and admired Zhao Feng even more.


    The latter had already seen something before they even entered.


    Zhao Feng saw that the array within the sparkling door was a Teleportation array, one of the most complicated arrays. One needed to know about Spatial laws and have a corresponding Array diagram to set it up.


    Lin Fan lifted up his head and found that the occasional figure of a Yao beast would fly by.


    Yao beasts could cultivate and contained a thin trace of Ancient Bloodlines in them.


    It was said that the Black Metal Monsters would only pursuit them after 10 days but there was already a lot of danger here.


    ¡°The energy here is perfect for me to breakthrough.¡±


    Lin Fan decided and went to find a concealed place.


    It was best for him to reach the 3rd Sky first and this place for perfect for it.


    Tens and tens of miles away, in front of a garden.


    ¡°My luck is indeed great - I was teleported to an ancient forgotten garden¡­.¡±


    Bei Moi stood in front of a garden and felt the thick energy around as well as the auras of powerful beings nearby.


    These auras within the ancient forgotten garden shook his heart even though it was just a tinge.


    This also meant that the garden was real and contained many treasures inside.


    Of course treasures and danger lurked together.


    Bei Moi obviously knew this point and he took a deep breath and stepped into the garden.


    ¡°If I don¡¯t go early this garden will be found by the others¡­.¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s figure vanished as he stepped inside. He didn¡¯t know that the Sky Boundary Island was huge and that there were many places containing treasures around. The others might not have the time to fight him.


    But compared to some his luck was extremely good since he had met an ancient garden already.


    The 7 disciples were sent to the corners of the Sky Boundary Island.


    Lin Fan¡¯s luck was average and Bei Moi¡¯s was extremely good.


    There were some with bad luck though. For example Yang Gan - he was teleported right next to a group of Green Spotted Hyena¡¯s who were all at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm or higher.


    After a hard-fought battle Yang Gan was able to escape.


    ¡°I was almost held back by that Green Hyena King and if I was surrounded¡­..¡±


    Yang Gan sighed in relief.


    The Green Hyena King¡¯s cultivation had almost reached the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm, even stronger than the Bat emperor.


    After running for a while Yang Gan¡¯s figure suddenly stopped as he looked at a tower a hundred feet tall in the middle of the forest.


    ¡°This tall tower is definitely not simple but¡­¡±


    Yang Gan was half filled with joy and half filled with sadness because the tower was in the middle of the forest where beasts howled from and some of the auras inside threatened him.


    He wasn¡¯t as lucky as Bei Moi who had appeared right next to an ancient forgotten garden.


    At the same time.


    The disciples in the Sky Boundary Island had all met something either good or bad.


    On top of a mountain a few thousands metres high stood a youth.


    This youth had azure hair and only one eye, which gave off a wicked feeling.


    ¡°I finally got up here¡­ The area of the last stage is indeed massive. I can¡¯t even see the end with my left eye meaning that the radius of this place is at least 400-500 miles long.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    He was suspicious that this wasn¡¯t in the Sky Moon Mountain nor the Cloud Country.


    This puzzle couldn¡¯t be solved by him at the moment - even the Elders of the Clan probably couldn¡¯t give a correct and definite answer. After all, the Floating Crest Palace came from the ancient times and in that era there were many people at the Origin Core and Void God Realm who had the ability to pass through dimensions and rebirth from a drop of blood¡­. The same as true gods.


    Of course nothing touched that level in this place apart from the 4 Great Inheritances of which the Scarlet Moon Inheritance was one of them.


    It had been many hours since Zhao Feng had entered the Sky Boundary Island and the second he entered he had opened his left eye to find a few places with treasure.


    This way he had the choice to choose which place to go to. Therefore Zhao Feng spent a lot of energy climbing to the peak of the mountain for a better and further view.


    Standing at the summit ZHao Feng could see very, very far with his left eye since nothing was in his way including the miniscule things a hundred miles away.


    There was a tall tower in the middle of the forest in the straight North direction. He estimated that there would be great rewards but many Yao Beasts were lurking there, including those at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm and even those at the True Spirit Realm.


    In the North-West direction was a mysterious garden which was surrounded by water.


    ¡°That side is probably an ancient forgotten garden.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart sped up a bit.


    From the scenery and aura the garden had one could imagine the treasures inside but unfortunately the garden was in the middle of a lake and had many beasts there which made it even more dangerous than the tall tower.


    Furthermore the journey to the garden would take a long time excluding the fact that there would be danger on the way as well.


    Zhao Feng shook his head as a faint azure light appeared from his left eye as he scanned around¡­.

 175 Zhao Feng’s plan

    The entrance of the Floating Crest Palace.


    The 4 Elders and the Clan Master sat cross-legged in silence.


    In the blink of an eye, eight days had passed and the 1st and 2nd stage of the trial had ended.


    On this day, First Elder opened his eyes and said slowly. ¡°According to previous experience, many people are kicked out during the 5th and 6th day.¡±


    The fifth and sixth days were the middle stages of the trial and many would be kicked out or even die.


    But this time eight days had passed and no one had exited.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed weird. Seeing how hard the first stage was the second and third stages should be much harder and dangerous than the previous trials.¡±


    Granny Liu Yue looked slightly worried.


    Her disciple Liu Yue¡¯er was one of the weaker ones that participated.


    ¡°There¡¯s only two possibilities.¡±


    Hai Yun Master, dressed in pure white, suddenly said.


    ¡°What possibilities?¡±


    The others all looked towards the youngest and most talented Elder of the Broken Moon Clan.


    The latter had achieved the best score in the Floating Crest Trial in the past few decades.


    His record hadn¡¯t been broken since, therefore his words held great importance.


    ¡°The first possibility is that there is an extremely high death rate! Sometimes the trial itself can¡¯t even control some of the things inside. Therefore, we haven¡¯t seen any disciples out yet.¡±


    Hai Yun Master said in a low tone.


    The expressions on the faces of the others changed slightly as they became somewhat worried,


    Yes, this trial¡¯s difficulty was hard - this could be seen from the first stage when a Black metal monster at the True Spirit Realm had chased them.


    ¡°The second possibility is that there was a very high passing rate and therefore no one has died nor been kicked out.¡±


    Hai Yun Master shook his head and sighed as he stated the second possibility.


    The people present here all knew that the probability of the second possibility was low.


    No one dead or kicked out - this meant that there was a 100% pass rate. Was this possible?


    Something like this had almost never happened before.


    ¡°Hopefully it¡¯s the second possibility, because if it is, it shall be the rising of the Broken Moon Clan.¡±


    The Clan Master sighed heavily.


    The five at the True Spirit Realm probably wouldn¡¯t have imagined that the slightest tremble from a butterfly could ignite a chaotic tornado - especially when it was just a small trial.


    ¡­..


    Floating Crest Trial, Sky Boundary Island.


    The azure hair of the youth who stood on the top of the mountain wavered. His azure eye spun around as if it had the power to see through the world.


    An hour had passed and Zhao Feng had analysed the situations in a hundred mile radius.


    Slowly but surely, a map appeared in his mind. The mental map not only contained the rivers, mountains, and forests, but it also had certain tags to it.


    These tags were attached onto places where there could be treasure or danger.


    For example a tag said that there was a Three-Headed Scorching Lion there, which was a Yao King at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°What kind of bullshit luck does Bei Moi have? He was probably sent straight inside or to the entrance of the garden¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s lips twitched, but he had to admit luck was also a type of strength. Legendary figures always had good luck - for example, the Scarlet Moon Patriarch had once entered the Scarlet Moon Inheritance ground.


    Apart from Bei Moi, Zhao Feng also saw Yang Gan¡¯s figure.


    The latter was aiming for the tall tower within the dangerous forest.


    The forest was full of beasts including Yao Beast Kings at the True Spirit Realm and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sweat for him.


    Luckily, Yang Gan¡¯s luck didn¡¯t seem too bad as he didn¡¯t enter the territory of the Yao Beast King.


    Two good places had been taken by Bei Moi and Yang Gan. That ancient forgotten garden was probably the best place within a hundred mile radius and the tall tower was second.


    Zhao Feng even had the urge to fight Bei Moi for it, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn¡¯t do it.


    Firstly, Bei Moi was strong and had the advantage of entering first. Zhao Feng had to travel through many dangerous places which were even more deadlier than the forest of the tall tower.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng thought that he should be generous and set his sights higher and further.


    Thinking up to here, a smile appeared on his lips as an extreme idea popped up.


    ¡°There¡¯s 10 days of safety in the 3rd stage. I won¡¯t find any treasures at first, so instead I shouldscout out the Sky Boundary Island.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought it through.


    The other disciples would use this time to get Inheritances and treasures.


    Furthermore, the disciples would have to face the pursuit of black metal monsters of the True Spirit Realm after 10 days. One obviously knew that it wouldn¡¯t as simple as the 1st stage.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind worked differently from others. Although he had found a lot of places where there were treasures, he didn¡¯t immediately go to them.


    ¡°I¡¯ll create a map of the Sky Boundary Island with the places with treasure located in it!¡±


    A look of insanity appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    He needed to use the full power of his left eye to control all of this.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng turned into a blur as he went down the mountain.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng had scouted areas further away.


    He wanted to see how big this Sky Boundary Island actually was.


    On the way, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye surveyed the nearby area and would always find the dangers lurking there. Most of the times, he would decide to go around; but at other times, he would smash straight through to save time.


    It was lucky he had learnt the mental energy sound attack because it could scatter weaker beast hordes.


    Every hundred miles or so, Zhao Feng would find a high place and remember the landscape below.


    Even though Zhao Feng had his left eye, he also met danger.


    There were unique Yao beasts whose forte was stealth or areas which were dangerous.


    For example, Zhao Feng was walking on a patch of grass but, due to carelessness, was ambushed by some Vines. Luckily, his reaction speed was fast and was able to escape by using his bloodline power.


    Ever since that event, Zhao Feng was extremely careful.


    There was another even more terrifying time.


    Zhao Feng was once standing on a hill, and only after scanning the hill with his left eye did he realise it was actually a ¡°stone monster¡± sleeping.


    The stone monster was as big as a ship and more than ten times bigger than the black metal monster from the 1st stage.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power shook as it felt the aura of the stone monster below.


    He was certain that the stone monster could instantly kill those at the True Spirit Realm with one hit were it awake.


    This was only a part of the hidden dangers.


    Zhao Feng found different sorts of queer stuff as he carried on.


    ¡°What was the ancient era like to have such terrifying existences? Yao beasts, hills, plants¡­. Everything could be something else¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng took in a deep breath.


    Using a day and a half, Zhao Feng came to the end of the Sky Boundary Island.


    At the end of the Sky Boundary Island was a limitless, vast ocean.


    Zhao Feng roughly scanned the waters and found that the number of beasts in the ocean was ten times or even one hundred times greater than the beasts in the island. Furthermore these beasts were even stronger.


    If he went into the ocean, even his left eye might not guarantee his survival.


    Zhao Feng calculated that from the starting point to the end of the Sky Boundary Island, he had walked around 200-300 miles.


    Returning the way he came, Zhao Feng¡¯s pace was much faster since he was familiar with the route.


    After arriving back at the mountain peak, Zhao Feng then proceeded in the other 3 directions.


    A few days later, Zhao Feng returned to the starting point, exhausted.


    Using a total of 4-5 days, Zhao Feng had scouted the entire Sky Boundary Island.


    Now he knew the landscape of the Island as familiarly as he knew his palm. He knew which places had danger, which places had treasure, even which places had Yao beasts.


    ¡°There¡¯s a total of 139 places where there might be treasure. Amongst them there¡¯s 4-5 places where there¡¯s treasure on par with the garden, but all of them are extremely dangerous.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    Obviously the danger was everywhere. There was a total of 200 or so places where Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to return from.


    There were around 40-50 existences which could kill him instantly and this was only the number found so far.


    In a total of 5 days Zhao Feng had found many places with treasure but didn¡¯t regret not going inside.


    ¡°There¡¯s still 5 days till monsters of the True Spirit Realm come chasing after me.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    Every step he took from now on was critical.


    Teng~ Sou~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure lept into the air, and he went towards the outer edges of the tall tower forest.


    The tall tower forest was where Yang Gan was, and according to what Zhao Feng knew, the former had entered the mysterious tower by luck, or maybe he had a hidden card that no one knew of.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s aim obviously wasn¡¯t the tall tower.


    There was a river near the tall tower forest that went through almost half the Sky Boundary Island.


    The water in the river was chilling and there was no presence or auras of any beasts nearby it.


    All in all, this river was very weird.


    Zhao Feng had once seen a queer scene - the blue river moved like a dragon and slithered like a snake.


    Adding on the fact that there weren¡¯t any traces of beasts nearby Zhao Feng decided to scout this place out.


    ¡°I¡¯ll name this place the Dragon Snake Ice River.¡±


    Zhao Feng named it by how it seemed to move.


    He walked next to the Dragon Snake Ice River and opened his left eye.


    After coming close to the river, he felt a terrifying coldness, and the deeper the river got the stronger the icy feeling.


    On the way, there seemed to be nothing, but Zhao Feng¡¯s instinct told him that this Dragon Snake Ice River wasn¡¯t simple and must have a mysterious history to it.


    After walking to the end of the river at the ¡°mouth¡± of the Dragon and Snake, there was a waterfall with a freezing pond below the waterfall.


    The freezing pond wasn¡¯t big, around 10 yards or so wide, but it gave off a coldness that made one¡¯s soul tremble.


    ¡°Looks like it¡¯s here¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood in front of the pond.


    Suddenly, a weird freezing feeling entered through his legs and spread out throughout his body.


    Weng!


    The azure light in his left eye spun around and a faint azure coloured blood within him boiled, dissipating the cold.

 176 Mysterious Crystal Tears

    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became solemn - what kind of power did the pond have to make his left eye and bloodline power automatically trigger their defensive measures?


    He was certain that even existences at the fifth or sixth Sky of the Ascended Realm would feel uneasy before this cold.


    ¡°This should be the ¡®origin¡¯.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a feeling that the secret of the Dragon Snake Ice River was here because he had scanned the other areas with his left eye and found no result.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye could only see through three yards of the freezing pond. If it had been a normal river, he could have seen ten yards into it, but the water in this area was extremely unique and unbelievably cold.


    In other words, he couldn¡¯t see the bottom of the river with his left eye.


    ¡°Is it worth it to find the secret of the Dragon Snake Ice River? I¡¯ll have to enter the pond to see.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts turned.


    If it was any other disciple here, they wouldn¡¯t have tried because the chill within the freezing pond would even freeze beings at the Ascended Realm into ice blocks.


    ¡°My Silver Wall Technique has reached the highest level and has strong resistance against the cold. Apart from that, my bloodline power also seems to resist the cold as well.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought for a while and then clenched his teeth as he decided to gamble.


    Instinct told him that this Dragon Snake Ice River was very mysterious, and his left eye was attracted to the ancient aura inside.


    Furthermore, he had many advantages which gave him a high chance of being able to retreat unharmed.


    Plop!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was like a fish as he lept into the pond.


    The next instant, a bone-chilling coldness enveloped his entire body.


    If it was someone else with the same cultivation as him, they would instantly be frozen numb and would die quickly if they didn¡¯t return to the surface.


    However, Zhao Feng had trained in the Silver Wall Technique, which had strengthened his body.


    In an instant, he had circulated his True Force to form a silver layer of light around his body.


    Zhao Feng fully opened his left eye and sank deeper.


    One yard¡­. Two yards¡­. Three yards¡­.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t stand it anymore at three yards, but luckily the azure blood within his body began to boil and a warm feeling suffused his body.


    The power of the bloodline had stronger resistance than even the Silver Wall Technique.


    Four yards¡­ five yards¡­ six yards¡­.


    The deeper he went, the more terrifying the coldness became.


    Within the coldness was also a power which threatened to erode his soul and consciousness, but luckily, the light within his left eye rotated quickly and resisted the soul attack.


    Even someone as strong as Yang Gan would be stopped at three yards, but Zhao Feng had already reached six yards, which was almost his limit.


    He clenched his teeth and continued onward.


    Six yards¡­ Seven yards¡­ Eight yards¡­.


    That was it!


    Zhao Feng felt his body freeze and was almost rendered unable to return back to the surface.


    ¡°Rise!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed in his heart as his bloodline power and True Force started to burn.


    Huala!


    Zhao Feng began to move like a fish and swam back to the top.


    ¡°So close.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed out in relief.


    Obviously it wasn¡¯t like he didn¡¯t gain anything.


    Before Zhao Feng swam up, he saw a mysterious, transparent blue tear-shaped crystal the size of a watermelon.


    ¡°What¡¯s the history of this blue crystal?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt cold just by glancing at it. Luckily, it was with his left eye; had it been a normal eye, the coldness would have frozen his body immediately.


    Instinct told Zhao Feng that this item wasn¡¯t something he could touch nor have.


    This thing was even more troublesome than ordinary Spiritual-grade weapons.


    However, Zhao Feng was unwilling to let this go without inspecting it further.


    The second time.


    He first ate a Scarlet Blood Fruit because it contained pure Yang energy.


    After swallowing it, Zhao Feng felt as if a fire was burning in his heart, which also ignited his bloodline power and True Force at the same time.


    He had used one Scarlet Blood Fruit as the price to fight the cold within the freezing pond.


    Plop!


    Entering once again, Zhao Feng was easily able to reach eight yards. His entire body was ablaze due to the Scarlet Blood Fruit.


    At eight yards, there were only three yards left to the transparent blue crystal. The blue crystal was like an ice lotus, beautiful and eye-catching, but when looked at, it gave its beholder a chilly feeling.


    Zhao Feng could only use his left eye to ¡®inspect and admire¡¯ it.


    Eight yards¡­. Nine yards¡­.


    Zhao Feng felt the coldness increase with every step he took.


    He was almost at ten yards, just one yard and a bit away from the blue crystal.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng would be frozen solid if he took one more step.


    Inspecting it under such a close distance, Zhao Feng found that the crystal wasn¡¯t exactly a ¡°solid¡± because its surface slightly rippled, like a teardrop.


    ¡°So unfortunate¡­ is there really no way?¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that, unless he wanted to die, there was no chance.


    Huala!


    His figure swam up and as he did so, a plan formed.


    He took out a thin silver silk string.


    This silver string was extremely thin, forged from chilling metal that gave it properties of ice, and was a half-mortal grade weapon material.


    Zhao Feng took out his Luohou bow and then wrapped one side of the string around the bow while wrapping the other side on a dark azure arrow.


    This way the arrow shot out could be taken back.


    ¡°Hehe. I¡¯ll try it out.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly. Since the blue crystal tear wasn¡¯t exactly a solid, this was his only option.


    He then circulated his True Force and fired his arrow towards the blue crystal tear. To make sure no accidents happened, Zhao Feng held back on retreating until he felt the arrow hit its mark.


    Shua----


    The dark azure arrow contained the power of his bloodline and True Force, and shot towards the blue crystal tear with half the speed of sound.


    However, the arrow gradually lost speed and eventually turned into an ice arrow before barely managing to touch the ripples surrounding the blue crystal.


    These ripples were actually part of the blue crystal tear as well.


    Boiwoo~~~~~


    A queer noise sounded from the bottom of the freezing pond, a sound which went straight through his soul.


    Zhao Feng hiccupped and quickly swam up as he felt a sense of life-threatening danger.


    At the same time, a terrifying coldness exuded from the Luohou bow.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his body turn numb and immediately threw the Luohou Bow away into the air.


    Ceng!


    His body lept several yards into the air and started to run on the air. Only when he was a few hundred yards away did he land back down onto the ground.


    But even though Zhao Feng was several hundred yards away from the freezing pond, he could still feel the terrifying coldness.


    ¡­¡­


    Inside a tall tower in the nearby forest.


    ¡°What the hell is going on? Why did it suddenly become so cold?¡±


    Yang Gan was at the ninth floor of the tower but still felt a chilling intent.


    He wasn¡¯t the only one affected.


    Bei Moi and the other disciples all felt this cold.


    With the Dragon Snake Ice River as the core, a chill spread across the Sky Boundary Island, causing the temperature to drop dramatically.


    In just a few breaths of time, the temperature of the Sky Boundary Island had gone down by tens of degrees and kept dropping for the next ten breaths.


    At the rate the temperature was dropping by, the entire Sky Boundary Island might become an island of ice.


    In front of the freezing pond.


    ¡°Fuckkkkk!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt as if his limbs had turned into ice.


    He was the person who did this and was also closest to the pond, meaning that the cold he faced was the strongest, but luckily, the chilling intent only exploded for an instant before calming down.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyesight never moved away from the freezing pond, and his Luohou Bow fell down from the air still carrying a silver silk string that had now turned blue, while the arrow on the other side had broken into pieces and was now replaced by a blue ripple.


    This blue ripple was a part of the blue crystal tear from the freezing pond.


    Si Si---


    The power of the blue ripple extended to the Luohou Bow through the string, which didn¡¯t break into pieces as it already had the properties of ice to it.


    After several breaths, the blue ripple disappeared into the Luohou Bow and formed a weird symbol on it.


    The symbol was like an ice lotus that had bloomed.


    Hula!


    The silver string broke into pieces.


    Zhao Feng jumped up in fright but found that the Luohou Bow wasn¡¯t damaged. It was a middle-grade Mortal weapon, after all, and was equal to a high grade weapon when used with its arrows.


    The Luohou Bow lay on the ground, unmoving.


    After feeling the coldness dissipate, Zhao Feng quietly walked over to the Luohou Bow. Touching it carefully with his hand, he felt a bone-chilling intent radiate from the bow, but it only spun around the bow and didn¡¯t enter his body.


    ¡°At least the bow¡¯s not broken.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as he carefully inspected the Luohou Bow, and found that apart from the bow being changed somehow by the power of the blue crystal tear, nothing had changed.


    The power of the blue crystal tear was terrifying, as just a bit of its power had caused the temperature of the Sky Boundary Island to drop by tens of degrees.


    He took out an arrow from his quiver, but his expression suddenly changed. All the arrows inside his quiver had turned faint blue, as if they had been changed by the cold when he had entered the freezing pond.


    Sou-- Beng~


    Zhao Feng pulled back his Luohou Bow and fired an arrow at a big tree.


    Peng!


    The arrow pierced into the tree but didn¡¯t go through,


    Every flower and tree of the Sky Boundary Island was not simple, and if it was a tree of the outside world, it would definitely leave a gaping hole.


    ¡°There doesn¡¯t seem to be any change in power?¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly disappointed. Could it be that his instinct was wrong?


    The arrow had not increased in strength; on the contrary, it shattered into pieces after it hit its target, meaning that the material had been changed due to taking in too much ice attribute.


    However, the next instant.


    Si-- Si---


    A layer of ice which became thicker and thicker formed on the tree that had been shot through.


    In just one to two breaths of time, the ten metre high tree had been covered in ice and was like an ice statue, breathtaking in the sunlight.


    ¡°Sealed in ice¡­..¡±


    Zhao Feng took in a cold breath, stunned.

 177 Mysterious Village

    Zhao Feng took in a cold breath - he hadn¡¯t expected for the Luohou Bow to transform in such a way.


    Its power hadn¡¯t increased, but the true change was the imbuement of elemental properties.


    An ice lotus symbol appeared on the Luohuo Bow, while the arrows within the quiver acquired a slightly blue hue.


    A part of the power from the crystal had entered the bow by transmitting through the string, and the arrows had been close to the crystal ripples, absorbing a bit of energy from it.


    But from the arrow just then, one could see that it was an one-time use item.


    Zhao Feng thought deeply for a moment before he picked up a stick off the ground and shot it out from the Luohou Bow.


    Sou!


    The stick struck its target cleanly but disintegrated inch by inch, casting a layer of ice over the target without fully sealing it in ice.


    ¡°It looks like only ¡®changed¡¯ arrows can use the power of ice to its greatest.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    This meant that the remaining tens of arrows were precious items since they could seal the target in ice, and from the power exhibited just then, anyone under the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm would be fully sealed if hit.


    Those at the 4th and 5th Sky wouldn¡¯t be able to escape in a short amount of time, but they still had a high chance of staying alive if they were willing to pay a price.


    Although someone at the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm wouldn¡¯t be ice sealed, their movement would be affected.


    The effect of this was insane; the only regrettable thing was that these blue arrows were of one-time use.


    Zhao Feng concluded that if these arrows were taken back into the outside world, they would shatter due to the change in temperature.


    Si-- Si---


    The coldness radiating from the freezing pond continued.


    Zhao Feng stood nearby and his body shivered since his bloodline power had a limit, and the duration of his Scarlet Blood Fruit¡¯s effect was coming to an end.


    Go!


    Zhao Feng glanced unwillingly at the freezing pond, but logic told him that this was not his treasure to be had.


    This was similar to the ¡®Blood Moon Devouring Spirit Sword¡¯. He couldn¡¯t control it.


    Zhao Feng needed to reach the True Spirit Realm to get the mysterious crystal tear and this was him with the power of his bloodline - others at the True Spirit Realm might not succeed.


    Thinking about it, Zhao Feng thought that his rewards weren¡¯t that bad.


    The Luohou Bow had been changed by the crystal and its power rose half a level.


    The one-time use arrows gave Zhao Feng some hidden cards, and the latter also felt that his body had stronger resistance against the cold.


    After leaving the freezing pond, Zhao Feng headed towards the South-East direction. On the way, the temperature kept dropping.


    It was obvious that the mysterious crystal tear was a ¡®forbidden¡¯ item in the Sky Boundary Island, and Zhao Feng had accidentally touched it, which changed the temperature of the entire island.


    Under the sudden drop in temperature, the Yao beasts returned to their caves while the weaker ones instantly died.


    Only the strong Yao beasts weren¡¯t affected.


    This had lowered the 3rd stages¡¯ difficulty since the probability of being attacked by a beast horde dropped dramatically.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that this action had once again affected the entire Floating Crest Trial.


    ¡­..


    Three hours later, a canyon appeared in sight.


    A few hours earlier, it might have still looked like a canyon, but now it was an ice gorge.


    In Zhao Feng¡¯s mind map, there were a few groups of beasts around here, but because of the temperature change, many of them had retreated back to their caves, which made Zhao Feng¡¯s journey easier.


    This canyon had been covered by a large, powerful illusion array, meaning that there should be something wrong here.


    In terms of size, this place was as big as the ancient forgotten garden, but it was hidden on the contrary.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know what was inside the canyon; it could spell luck or disaster - no one knew.


    ¡°There should be some sort of secret here since it¡¯s hidden by an illusion array.¡±


    Zhao Feng flew down from the top and looked downwards.


    From his angle, the canyon looked like a black abyss filled with clouds.


    Faint noise and aura emerged from the clouds with some arbitrary auras even stronger than the True Spirit Realm cropped up, but being an array master, Zhao Feng had almost full resistance against mental energy illusions and, through his left eye, could see fluctuations of array power.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t able to see through the entire array even when he used his full power - all he saw was the landscape of the canyon.


    There wasn¡¯t any black abyss nor terrifying Yao beast king.


    Ceng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body lept into the air and floated towards the canyon while ignoring the power of the illusion array.


    When he landed, he felt as if he was falling into an abyss, as if a monster had opened its mouth and gulped him up. However, he knew this was the array at work.


    This was, after all, an ancient place. Even though he had the mysterious left eye, it didn¡¯t mean he was unstoppable.


    After leaping into the air a few times, he landed gracefully near a village.


    There were old and young, men and women wearing very simple clothes, and the structures seemed old.


    ¡°Spicy smelly tofu, two pieces for a penny.¡±


    ¡°Sweet iced shaw, a penny for one.¡±


    ¡­¡­.


    Everywhere, a racket of chaotic noise was present.


    Zhao Feng had a queer feeling as he stood in the middle of this market. It was as if this place had nothing to do with the Floating Crest Trial, but he didn¡¯t think that this place would be so innocuous.


    ¡°It seems real, but everything here is still the power of the array.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    The power of the illusion array was immense and extremely real. Even Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye couldn¡¯t fully see through it.


    He couldn¡¯t imagine how an array could create such a big place so specifically.


    There were people selling vegetables, showing tricks and even gangsters¡­.


    Everything just seemed so real, and if it wasn¡¯t because Zhao Feng had his mysterious left eye, he wouldn¡¯t realise that this was all fake.


    At the same time, some additional thoughts chugged in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    What was the purpose of this market? What¡¯s it for?


    First Elder had talked about the trial before and told him that not everything was awarded through killing.


    Truthfully, Righteous Inheritances usually tested one¡¯s heart and will.


    One had to meet the requirements to get the treasures.


    ¡°Normal participants wouldn¡¯t be able to realise this is fake. Therefore, I should treat this place as real¡­..¡±


    A thought appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    He tried to gather information from the market but realised that there was just far too much.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng decided to roam around the village casually, until he heard the angry voice of a youth at a certain point: ¡°You bastards, let go of my mum¡­.¡±


    That voice was extremely clear in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind, different from the other chaotic voices. Even if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have his left eye, he would be able to the difference.


    ¡°Is the illusion purposely allowing the participants to hear this?¡±


    A smirk appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Turning to the side, he saw an old store selling buns and a pretty woman who was being pulled away by three gangsters.


    ¡°Let go of my mum!¡±


    A youth wearing tattered clothes fought with one of them.


    Peng!


    The youth was slapped away by one of the gangsters and blood streaked from his lips.


    ¡°Hmph! Your old man gambled and lost, owing three thousand silver. The store covers for a thousand and your pretty mother can go to the Yihong Brothel to work off the debt. Money is earned much faster there¡­.¡±


    One of the gangsters laughed.


    Looking up to here, Zhao Feng knew what had happened.


    Even in reality, he would interfere without hesitation. Furthermore, there was a high chance that this was part of the trial.


    The most important thing was that this was a Righteous Inheritance test and helping the weak while getting rid of the wicked was a must.


    ¡°The three of you can fuck off!¡±


    Zhao Feng charged forwards and sent one of the gangster flying.


    The other two exclaimed in anger and charged at him from his left and right.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was worked up one step at a time, and even if he didn¡¯t use his True Force, he could easily beat two gangsters.


    The three gangsters were all sent flying by a kick respectively and wouldn¡¯t be able to get up in a short amount of time.


    ¡°Thank you so much.¡±


    The pretty woman and youth were all extremely grateful, but Zhao Feng could still see the woman was worried.


    ¡°Little brother, what¡¯s your name?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°My name is Li Luan. Big brother, you were so awesome just then.¡±


    The youth said in admiration.


    ¡°Li Luan¡­. Floating Crest Trial¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured and became lost in thought as he looked at this youth.


    To confirm his guesses, Zhao Feng decided to be a good person to the end and settled all the problems of Li Luan¡¯s family.


    The gangsters in the village were beaten into submission by Zhao Feng and the latter also wrote a few martial arts from Core level techniques to High level techniques for Li Luan.


    However.


    After doing all this, Zhao Feng still didn¡¯t get anything.


    He sighed in his heart, could it be that the reward wasn¡¯t destined to be with him?


    Zhao Feng always felt that this village wasn¡¯t as simple as it looked, but his time was limited so he decided to leave after one more day.


    He knew where the places with treasures were at - he didn¡¯t have to stubbornly stay at this one.


    On the second day, Zhao Feng said goodbye to Li Luan and his family.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, thanks for all your help. This is my beloved ¡®small knife¡¯, and now I¡¯m giving it to you.¡±


    Li Luan handed over one item.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up, but that supposedly ¡®small knife¡¯ was only an old, tattered piece of metal with a green lightning-shaped carving on it.


    Taking the small piece of metal, Zhao Feng instantly felt a calm aura envelop him. After merging his consciousness inside, he caught glimpse of a scenery where green lightning flashed in the air and demolished an entire mountain in one hit.


    At the same time, a piece of information appeared in his mind: ¡°Floating Crest Lightning Seal.¡±

 178 Team up

    Floating Crest Lightning Seal!


    Zhao Feng kept fondling this tattered piece of metal after he left the village. In terms of material, this metal was very average but it contained an unbelievable amount of intent inside. This intent was short but so profound that it had exceeded Zhao Feng¡¯s level.


    ¡°I can only comprehend the slightest edges of this Floating Crest Lightning Seal and this is because I¡¯ve learnt Lightning Wind Palm.¡±Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts turned.


    After merging with the mysterious left eye, his comprehension was terrifying - much stronger than many geniuses. However, even though he had the Lightning Wind Palm as basis, he could only understand the slightest bit of the Floating Crest Lightning Seal. Furthermore, he felt that the aura of the Floating Crest Lightning Seal was similar to the Lightning Wind Palm, although the former was more than a hundred times stronger than the latter.


    Lightning Wind Palm only used wind to gather lightning, whereas the Floating Crest Lightning Seal controlled lightning straight away.


    What was the connection between the two?


    Zhao Feng remembered that the Lightning Wind Palm was an ancient skill that was incomplete. At the same time, there were powerful techniques in the Clan which allowed the cultivator to dominate those at their cultivation level. Some of these skills were obtained from the Floating Crest Palace.


    For example: Bei Moi¡¯s Northern Dark Heavenly Water - this was obtained by Hai Yun Master from the Floating Crest Palace.


    ¡°It looks like this Floating Crest Lightning Seal isn¡¯t awarded just because of my performance within the village.¡± Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    The Floating Crest Lightning Seal seemed to have the same origins as the Lightning Wind Palm. He opened his left eye and copied the scenery of the Lightning Seal into his mind, but the power of the scene was too strong. He had to use all his mental energy before barely managing to copy it.


    Zhao Feng did this so that this item was truly his. He knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to fully comprehend this Floating Crest Lightning Seal in a short amount of time and who knew what the Clan would do after the trial? They might even take it for themselves! According to the rules, the Clan would take a few treasures and award contribution points in return.


    After putting the Floating Crest Lightning Seal away, Zhao Feng headed in another direction. He had the entire map of the Sky Boundary Island in his mind and the places where there might be treasures had been tagged. The next destination was slightly far away, but that place had been analysed by Zhao Feng, meaning that this place might be special or big.


    The result.


    His first target: It was an absolutely forbidden area, which had caused the temperature of the entire Sky Boundary Island to drop. The treasures inside weren¡¯t something that he could have.


    His second target: Zhao Feng still couldn¡¯t figure out the Floating Crest Lightning Seal.


    As for the third target, Zhao Feng estimated that it would be similar with Bei Moi¡¯s ancient forgotten garden.


    On the journey through a quiet place, Zhao Feng felt a familiar True Force nearby.


    ¡°Brother Lin!¡±


    Zhao Feng saw that Lin Fan was four to five miles away with his left eye. The True Force emitting from Lin Fan was strong, like he had just broken into the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm not long ago.


    Zhao Feng made sure that his eyepatch was on and met up with Lin Fan.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, I didn¡¯t think that we¡¯d be able to meet.¡± Lin Fan was overjoyed.


    Zhao Feng pointed out a path for him: ¡°There¡¯s a canyon enveloped in an illusion array fifty miles away in the North-Western direction. You can go try your luck there¡­¡±


    The canyon he pointed at was the one that he had just been to.


    Zhao Feng wanted to know if Lin Fan faced the same illusion as him.


    ¡°Of course, there¡¯s no guarantee of success. From the canyon, there¡¯s a hidden shrine tens of miles away in the Southern direction, you can also go try it.¡±


    Zhao Feng have Lin Fan another place with treasure.


    Lin Fan had broken through not long ago and he was extremely surprised: ¡°Brother Zhao, you seem to know this place very well?¡±


    ¡°Obviously! I spent several days scouting the situation on the Sky Boundary Island. I saw almost everything within a one-hundred to two-hundred mile radius before I started¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng gave the white eye as he said with half-truth and half-lies.


    Lin Fan couldn¡¯t help but admire Zhao Feng even more as he heard this. The others wouldn¡¯t give up any treasures if they saw it, but Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t even went to anything in the first five days. The latter had first scouted out the area first to find out the situation instead.


    There was a saying: Knowing oneself and the enemy means victory.


    From the first action Zhao Feng made, it could be seen that his goal was further than all the other participants.


    After saying goodbye to Lin Fan, Zhao Feng continued towards his third destination.


    ¡°Six days have already passed in the Floating Crest Trial, with only three to four days left.¡±


    Zhao Feng quickened his footsteps.


    The third destination was slightly far away, but luckily the beasts that were supposed to be around had disappeared, which allowed Zhao Feng to travel faster.


    Half a day later.


    Zhao Feng arrived at a grass field.


    Before, there was swarms of powerful birds flying in the sky, each group was much more terrifying than the black blood bats in the second stage. But because of the sudden temperature drop which froze the entire island, the number of these birds had dropped dramatically.


    Zhao Feng increased his speed and he passed through a lovely garden.


    ¡°There was originally a large number of poisonous wasps here with the weakest at the half step-Ascended Realm and the majority at the 1st and 2nd Sky. There¡¯s tens of thousands of them and if one was unlucky to be surrounded by them¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng sighed.


    The horde of poisonous wasps had now hid due to the cold. The temperature right now greatly affected those at the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm and only those at the 3rd Sky or higher could lower the cold¡¯s effect.


    ¡°I¡¯m finally here.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as he glanced at a castle in front of him. The castle gave off an ancient aura and every brick which made up the castle had the marks of time.


    In terms of size, this castle was the same as Bei Moi¡¯s ancient forgotten garden. But because everything was now covered in ice, the danger dropped. After walking inside the castle, Zhao Feng became careful since the castle itself was dangerous.


    For example, the moat outside gave off a disturbing aura and Zhao Feng took out a broken mortal weapon and threw it inside the grey-black liquid. A sizzling noise sounded as the broken weapon soon dissolved¡­


    Even though the weapon had lost it¡¯s array and was weaker, normal cultivators at the Ascended Realm couldn¡¯t even break it.


    The entire castle was dead silent and it gave off a dark feeling.


    Zhao Feng scouted around outside and his expression changed.


    ¡°There¡¯s traces of someone being here.¡± His heart skipped a beat.


    There was two possibilities:


    1. There was a terrifying unknown existence.


    2. Another disciple.


    Zhao Feng thought that the second possibility was higher.


    Ding! Boom! Peng¡­


    At this moment, the sound of battling appeared from the castles¡¯ depth. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye concentrated on a wealthy-looking building and he was slightly caught off guard by what he saw.


    ¡°So unlucky! I accidentally set off these guys just as I entered the centre.¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s ruffled figure sped out from the wealthy building and behind him came two black armored people who had no signs of life. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye could see through material and he saw that the black armored people were actually machines with an energy substance stored in their cores.


    From the current situation the two black armored people seemed to have strength near the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm, or else they wouldn¡¯t be able to chase Quan Chen away.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, come and help quickly.¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s eyes light up as he spotted Zhao Feng, who was nearby.


    The latter¡¯s eyebrows rose and instinctively went to pull out an arrow from his quiver, but he suddenly stopped mid motion: ¡°These blue arrows have an ice sealing effect but they are one-use items.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t worth it to waste an arrow for Quan Chen.


    ¡°Brother Quan, my arrows probably can¡¯t pierce through these black armored people.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed and he leapt on top of the castle gates.


    Quan Chen swore in his heart - Zhao Feng didn¡¯t help him, but this was expected.


    Luckily, the two black armored people only chased him for a hundred yards before returning back to the building. It was as if guarding the building was their duty and they wouldn¡¯t care even if the entire castle was destroyed.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you¡¯ve come at the perfect time! This castle¡¯s extremely wicked. I finally found the core, but it¡¯s extremely troublesome. Why don¡¯t you team up with me and we¡¯ll split the treasures fifty-fifty each?¡±


    Quan Chen smiled, but a flash of coldness appeared in his eyes.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    He was enemies with Quan Chen ever since he entered the Clan and before, he was only an ant to the latter. But now, Zhao Feng had reached a point to where he wasn¡¯t even afraid of the opponent anymore.


    Quan Chen wanted to use Zhao Feng and if he had the chance, kill him.


    This was the same plan as Zhao Feng¡¯s. He had entered the castle later and with Quan Chen¡¯s help, he could entered the core area. If he had the chance, he would send Quan Chen on his way as well¡­ The two both their plans as they walked towards the central building.


    ¡°Brother Quan, you¡¯ve been here at least a day or two right? You must have gained a lot of things!¡± Zhao Feng laughed as he glanced at Quan Chen¡¯s full bag.


    He could see the items with his left eye and he knew the price of these items. Although they were good, they were nothing compared with the interspatial bracelet and Floating Crest Lightning Seal he had got.


    ¡°No no no! I¡¯ve only just entered the central area. In another three days¡¯ time, everyone will be pursuited by the monsters and we won¡¯t have any more chances.¡±


    Quan Chen led the way and the two soon entered the building. The former had been here for two to three days and he had cleared the outer area.


    ¡°The most expensive place here is a treasury containing many items. However, there¡¯s many guards there whose strength ranges from the 4th to 6th Sky¡­ ¡± Quan Chen explained.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure floated on top of a high building and he surveyed the landscape. Immediately, the structures as well as where the guards were placed had been seen by Zhao Feng.


    Quan Chen had only told him part of the dangers and he didn¡¯t tell him some hidden dangers. Zhao Feng laughed coldly in his heart as he followed Quan Chen and entered a great hall.


    Inside the hall, there were a few black and silver armored guards. Black armored guards were usually at the 4th and 5th Sky, whereas the silver guards had reached the 6th Sky or higher.


    Even someone as strong as Yang Gan would find it difficult to break through this place.


    No wonder Quan Chen wanted to team up with him, even though the two were enemies.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, there¡¯s the treasury.¡±


    Quan Chen pointed at an old room which gave off the aura of spiritual items.

 179 Schememing

    Zhao Feng inspected this treasury room.


    From the moment he had entered, his left eye had scanned the entire landscape, including where some guards were placed.


    There was one thing that could be confirmed - this place was indeed the most central part and was the most protected.


    Quan Chen had spent two to three days worth of time to reach here, and at least forty guards were cleared in order to reach here.


    Zhao Feng knew that there were several hundred guards within the castle, and that it wasn¡¯t easy for Quan Chen to reach here. The latter must have paid a hefty price even though he was at the peak 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm in strength.


    With Quan Chen¡¯s mindset, would he let someone take the rewards?


    Therefore, Quan Chen¡¯s proposal to split the treasures ¡°fifty-fifty¡± was definitely not realistic.


    ¡­..


    Zhao Feng understood that, by using Quan Chen, he had arrived at the central area with less difficulty.


    The treasury at his front was the same size as a lounge, if not slightly bigger, and the aura of treasure inside could make any cultivators¡¯ heart pound.


    ¡°An inkling of aura from these is more potent than a normal Spiritual weapon.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s senses were even sharper than Quan Chen¡¯s. After all, he had handled a Spiritual weapon before.


    Spiritual weapons were extremely precious and most clans only had one or two that were treated like a heirloom.


    Furthermore, this was only the aura from the treasury - it probably wasn¡¯t even one one-hundredth of the true aura within.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, why don¡¯t we split up? One of us distracts most of the guards while the other goes inside the treasury and steals all the treasure?¡±


    Quan Chen squeezed out a smile.


    ¡°Steal? Brother Quan, don¡¯t make it sound so bad. There¡¯s no owner here - who knows how many years it has been since his death? We¡¯re taking it in full light.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered.


    ¡°Yes, yes, we¡¯re taking it.¡±


    Quan Chen laughed stiffly and suppressed the anger in his heart. Since when did this ant dare to talk to him this way?


    The two then discussed who would lure away the guards and who would snag the treasure.


    Zhao Feng first scanned the entire treasury and caught traces of arrays inside. His left eye could barely see through the walls and see the contour lines inside.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, your movement skills are quite good, so there¡¯s not much of a problem for you to distract the guards. Of course, if you don¡¯t want to, I can.¡±


    Quan Chen said generously, as if he didn¡¯t mind which choice Zhao Feng made.


    Most would probably choose the latter since they would only feel safe if they were the one to take the treasure.


    ¡°Ok. I¡¯ll distract the guards.¡±


    Zhao Feng replied.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Quan Chen was somewhat surprised but still laughed coldly in his heart. No matter what you choose, you¡¯re still a chess piece that¡¯s being sent to it¡¯s death!


    Firstly, Zhao Feng had just arrived at the castle and didn¡¯t know some of the hidden dangers. If he chose to distract the guards, he would attract more and more danger.


    Secondly, if Zhao Feng chose to enter the treasury, all Quan Chen needed to do was distract the guards and then disappear without a trace, which meant that droves of guards would return to the treasury.


    Therefore, Quan Chen didn¡¯t care which choice Zhao Feng made, as both choices spelled death for him.


    ¡­¡­¡­..


    There were around twenty to thirty guards stationed near the treasury whose strength ranged from the 4th to 6th Sky, so distracting these guards was a dangerous job.


    According to the plan, Zhao Feng needed to distract at least half.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng punched out the ensuing air wave hit the walls of the treasury and shook the entire room.


    The treasury had an array protecting it, and the instant it was hit, a red glow appeared which caught the attention of some nearby guards.


    Ceng! Sou!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure blurred as he attracted ten to twenty guards towards the outer area.


    Of these guards, around ten or so were at the 4th Sky, four at the 5th Sky, and only one silver guard at the 6th Sky.


    ¡°Great job Brother Zhao!¡±


    Quan Chen laughed smugly as joy and coldness flashed in his eyes.


    After being chased by so many guards, maybe only Yang Gan was able to retreat without being harmed. Even Bei Moi and himself would find it extremely dangerous.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had just entered the castle and didn¡¯t know any of the other dangers.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure turned into an after image as he circulated his Heavenly Wind True Force to it¡¯s utmost, boasting speed superior to most cultivators at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    This was because he had reached a high level in the Heavenly Wind God Technique, and the purity of his True Force was even better than normal cultivators at the 4th Sky.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had merged his illusion fish picture into this skill, which made his speed even faster than Quan Chen¡¯s.


    Apart from that, these guards were decked out in heavy armor that enhanced their defenses, with the impediment of their agility and range of motion being the only liability.


    Using his agility, even the guards at the 5th and 6th Sky weren¡¯t able to catch up to him in a short amount of time.


    His left eye could see through walls and predict some of the hidden dangers.


    As for the landscape, he was even more familiar with it than Quan Chen.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng had attracted these guards to the entrance of the building.


    At this time, the guards who could still catch up were the guards at the 5th Sky as well as the one silver guard.


    Only the silver guard¡¯s speed was on parity with Zhao Feng¡¯s, but its agility was far worse.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye could peer into the guard¡¯s body and see the flow of energy inside, which allowed him to predict the other¡¯s attacks beforehand.


    Zhao Feng managed to dodge the silver guards¡¯ attacks many times - were he to be hit, he would be seriously injured, if not dead even, despite his Silver Wall Technique having been trained to its highest level.


    But Zhao Feng, who had the mysterious left eye, controlled the entire situation.


    After running out of the building, the landscape became flat, which made it hard for him to use it to his advantage.


    The distance between Zhao Feng and the silver guard gradually shortened.


    Once the guard caught up and managed to stall him, the other four black armored guards at the 5th Sky would arrive, which almost guaranteed his death.


    Ta!


    A layer of azure blood appeared within Zhao Feng¡¯s body which gave off a strong aura of the soul.


    Instantly, his mental energy, concentration and senses rose.


    The power of bloodline was something that Zhao Feng himself didn¡¯t understand, but the difference was obvious. The same punch with the power of bloodline could hit 3000-3500 kgs, whereas it was only 1500-2000 kgs without it.


    At this moment in time Zhao Feng¡¯s speed instantly increased.


    Qiu---


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed almost doubled and even surpassed the silver guard who was at the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm. The latter might have high cultivation, but his speed was just a bit faster than those at the 5th Sky.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng had run out tens of yards. He then turned around and took out his Luohou Bow and notched a blue arrow onto it.


    Being in midair, he could see Quan Chen¡¯s situation with his left eye. After the latter entered the treasury and touched the array, the nearby ten guards or so chased after him, but because the path to the treasury was small, the number of guards that could go past at once was limited.


    Quan Chen was extremely cunning - he blocked off one side of the entrance and tried to take some treasures while fighting them off at the same time.


    The different types of treasures gave off pure and alluring auras that made their hearts thump.


    Peng!


    Quan Chen tried to take an item, but he was blocked by a layer of white light and was almost injured.


    ¡°Dammit! All the treasures have arrays around them!¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s expression was grim - he had tried many times and knew that these arrays couldn¡¯t be broken through in a short amount of time.


    It was lucky that his cultivation had increased significantly ever since he had entered the trial. He had a Middle grade Mortal weapon, which meant he could easily slay black-armored guards at the 4th Sky.


    ¡°That retard Zhao Feng must¡¯ve died after attracting the attention of so many guards.¡±


    Quan Chen felt a little better after thinking about Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, outside of the building.


    Beng! Sou---


    A blue item flew through the air and caused the temperature nearby to drop.


    The ice lotus symbol on the Luohou Bow suddenly lit up when it was pulled back, and under the freezing temperature, it turned into a transparent arrow of ice.


    Kaa!


    The arrow hit the silver guard head on and shattered on impact.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s current strength, he couldn¡¯t break through the defenses of the silver guard, especially when the forte of these guards was defense.


    The silver guard lept towards Zhao Feng, unharmed.


    However, just as it moved, its actions slowed down bit and a layer of ice formed over its body.


    A terrifying coldness spread four to five yards out from the silver guard.


    Deng! Deng! Deng¡­.


    The black-armored guards in the back froze in their steps when they entered the cold¡¯s area of effect.


    In just a breath¡¯s time, four black-armored guards at the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm turned into ice sculptures.


    Only the silver guard was barely able to fight back against the cold.


    At this point in time, the silver guard as well as the four black armored guards were controlled by Zhao Feng¡¯s one arrow.


    The effect was far greater than Zhao Feng had expected.


    The latter opened his left eye and realised that a layer of ice was extending through the parts of the guard, soon reaching the core where the energy was stored.


    These guards didn¡¯t have life but had many parts inside. Once they were frozen, it would affect the amount of energy transferred.


    From the looks of it, the four black guards had been sealed in ice and wouldn¡¯t be able to escape in a short amount of time.


    It was the silver guard that was still resisting, but even if it could break through the ice seal, its speed would be restricted.


    Go!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with these guards anymore and returned back to the building.


    In the central area, Quan Chen was still facing off the guards, but these guards didn¡¯t seem to be smart or else they could have summon the remaining hundreds of guards already. Unless one was at the True Spirit Realm, no one would be able to escape such an outpour of guards.


    Zhao Feng landed on a rooftop close to the treasury and watched the show below.


    As Zhao Feng returned, the black guards that hadn¡¯t caught up with him earlier returned back to the treasury.


    A total of twenty to thirty armored guards were about to surround the treasury.


    ¡°That brat Zhao Feng has already been finished off?¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s expression changed as he slashed forwards heavily, ripping two black armored guards into pieces.


    Run!


    He sped towards the exit of the building, but before he reached it, a silver cold came in from the opposite direction.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Quan Chen hiccupped as he looked at this silver guard enveloped in a layer of ice.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    A figure laughed lightly and went inside the treasury while Quan Chen was being pursued by the guards.


    At present, there were no guards remaining in the vicinity.

 180 Hill of Ice

    That figure was indeed Zhao Feng.


    His plan was perfect; the guards that were pursuing him had returned back to the treasury after losing track of him, forcing Quan Chen to flee with all the guards chasing him.


    Zhao Feng had found out that all of the items in the treasury were protected by an array, which couldn¡¯t be broken in a short amount of time.


    Therefore, he decided to attract the guards¡¯ attention first, and then let Quan Chen face all the fire. Because of his left eye, Zhao Feng had absolute control.


    In both markets and battlefields, nothing was more important than ¡®information¡¯, and Zhao Feng had this advantage, which allowed him to win every battle.


    Zhao Feng was slightly dazed as he walked into the treasury. Then, he became extremely excited. There was a large quantity of items inside; some were weapons, others collectibles such as art, calligraphy, armor, maps, and other things he couldn¡¯t name.


    But Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye could make out that the quality of these items was not simple and that most of the weapons in the treasury were at least of the Spiritual grade.


    Would these ¡®collectibles¡¯ that were placed together with Spiritual weapons be simple? It could be said that the value of any item here would make anyone go crazy.


    However¡­


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows knitted together as he realized that these items were all protected by separate arrays. The arrays were extremely powerful and had probably had power at the True Spiritual Realm, if not higher. The only shortcoming was that the supply of energy had decreased significantly due to age.


    There were a few items with flaws in their protective array.


    Of course, normal people wouldn¡¯t be able to see this. Only people such as Zhao Feng, who had a powerful left eye, or those who had studied arrays would be able to see this.


    ¡°The power of every protection array is incredibly strong and they can mend themselves. If someone at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm were to attack one of them for two to three days straight, it should break at least.¡± Zhao Feng concluded.


    To confirm his speculation, he sent out a palm attack at one of the items.


    Peng!


    A white glow appeared and pushed Zhao Feng back, but the latter had been expecting this and came out of it unscathed. The light only dimmed a little bit due to the attack from someone at the 4th Sky, but after a few breaths, the dim spot became bright again.


    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯ll need three day¡¯s time, considering there is an item with flaws in the array. If it was one without flaws, it¡¯ll need ten days to break. If only I had someone like Yang Gan to team up with me and attack it¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    If there was someone else, the time needed would decrease dramatically. Unfortunately, he wasn¡¯t even sure if Quan Chen was dead or not, and the latter couldn¡¯t be trusted.


    As for Yang Gan, Lin Fan and co., they were far away, facing their own problems at their respective places.


    There was no other way; Zhao Feng only had one choice and that was to fight alone.


    It was a good thing this way though - the items all belonged to him and him alone.


    Next.


    Zhao Feng scanned around to find his target. There were just too many items in the treasury, including weapons, armor, etc etc.


    The entire treasury had around a couple of hundred drawers containing items inside. Some of them were empty, and the items that were in the empty drawers had been taken by previous participants Zhao Feng guessed.


    Those that could get into the treasury and take such items weren¡¯t simple figures.


    Of the couple hundred drawers, only one-tenth had flaws in their arrays and Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned all of them before landing on a target.


    It was a half-broken transparent cloak that seemed like a mirror. After locking onto it, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye twitched slightly and his bloodline power had a familiar feeling.


    This cloak gave off an ancient aura, which didn¡¯t even reach the Spiritual Grade or even the High grade Mortal weapon. It seemed like it was extremely normal, then why would it be placed with such rare items?


    Zhao Feng was certain that this cloak wasn¡¯t simple or had a high collectible value.


    ¡°Even if I did get a Spiritual weapon, it would be of no use to me. I¡¯d probably have to hand it over to the Clan after the trial¡­ so why don¡¯t I choose this?¡± Zhao Feng made his decision.


    Spiritual weapons were too far away from him and there was a legend saying that there were Inheritance Divine Artifacts, which could ignore the user¡¯s cultivation and become the most powerful weapon for any certain cultivation.


    However, these Inheritance Divine Artifacts were far too rare and every one of them were guarded like heirlooms.


    Peng! Peng! Peng¡­


    Zhao Feng smashed at the drawer with palm after palm and the skill he was using was Lightning Wind Palm. It was best to first perfect this skill and with every palm he thrust out, Zhao Feng would improve it in his mind.


    The attack rate was constant; a breath to two breaths time rest between each palm, allowing him to last longer.


    After a while.


    Zhao Feng heard the sound of footsteps, which should belong to the retreating guards.


    These guards weren¡¯t idiots. If they found that something was wrong, they would definitely come over and inspect.


    ¡°If only I could set up a soundproof array here¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng stopped and he went into deep thought. Soundproof arrays weren¡¯t very hard to set up, but the problem Zhao Feng had was that he lacked the materials.


    This was the biggest restriction to array masters; if there weren¡¯t the materials, nothing could be made. Of course, if one did have the materials beforehand, they could slaughter a group of people stronger than themself.


    Zhao Feng flipped through his interspatial ring, which contained everything he had.


    ¡°Unfortunately, I¡¯m missing two materials¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head and he tried to think of other ways. But there was nothing he could do with two materials missing.


    RIght at this moment.


    Zhao Feng heard a slight noise and he saw a figure landed on the rooftop opposite the treasury.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, so you didn¡¯t die!¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s voice contained surprise and anger.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions stiffened, it looked like he had underestimated Quan Chen.


    Inspecting the latter, he found that Quan Chen had multiple wounds and bandages, his hair was ruffled and his clothes were ripped as if he had been raped.


    The hatred in his eyes made it seem even more so.


    Shua!


    Quan Chen¡¯s figure charged towards the treasury. His goal wasn¡¯t the items inside, but Zhao Feng.


    First kill Zhao Feng, then get the treasures.


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly and he thrust out his palm heavily as he stood at the entrance.


    Partial Moon Flying Knife! Quan Chen waved his sword and four to five beams of sharp, dangerous light sped towards Zhao Feng with different angles.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s fierce palm caused thunder to boom, but it was still pushed back by the cold flash of sword light.


    Quan Chen had a mortal weapon in hand, which increased his damage. He also had higher cultivation and his Chilling Moon Technique had progressed to the 4th level.


    ¡°I¡¯ll first take your bastard life!¡±


    Quan Chen decided to get rid of Zhao Feng because this would probably be his last chance.


    Wind Lightning Destruction!


    Zhao Feng circulated his True Force and skill to the max and the humming of thunder was even louder than before.


    But Quan Chen had a Middle grade Mortal weapon after all, and he was able to push through.


    Under this desperate situation, Zhao Feng used a small part of his bloodline power secretly, but the power of his attacks increased significantly.


    Peng!


    The sound of thunder became louder and louder.


    Zhao Feng finally felt his Lightning Wind Palm reach its pinnacle and become smoother and smoother, as if it had broken through a certain point.


    At the same time, a bit of the Floating Crest Lightning Seal was comprehended.


    Wind Lightning Raging Dragon!


    Zhao Feng howled and a ¡®snake dragon¡¯ that had sizzles of lightning crackling around it appeared.


    ¡°What!? The power of lightning!?¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s expression changed dramatically and the instant that the two clashed together, his body became numb.


    The 4th level of the Lightning Wind Palm had a certain numbing effect. But after Zhao Feng had merged a bit of the Floating Crest Lightning Seal into it, the original skill had improved.


    Pah- Pah- Pah-


    Zhao Feng forced Quan Chen out with continuous palms.


    At the same time, the nearby black armored guards came over.


    Quan Chen could only evade and he said with hatred: ¡°I don¡¯t believe that you can stay in there forever.¡±


    ¡°Hehe¡­ where are you going!?¡±


    Zhao Feng took out his Luohou Bow and notched a blue arrow in it before shooting it at the direction of the entrance.


    Shua---


    A blue arrow pierced through the air and it sped towards Quan Chen with terrifying coldness.


    The latter knew how terrifying Zhao Feng¡¯s archery skills were and he instantly put up a layer of True Force and dropped himself onto the ground.


    Shaaaa!


    The blue arrow scraped across his shoulder and pierced a guard nearby.


    There wasn¡¯t any blood flowing from Quan Chen¡¯s shoulder, but a chilling coldness spread from there and formed a layer of ice over him.


    Craaaaack!


    The ice arrow shattered and icified everything in a few yards radius.


    In just one to two breaths time.


    Quan Chen and the nearby four to five guards had all been sealed at the entrance. Glancing at the ice sculptures, Zhao Feng could see that Quan Chen was circulating his True Force heavily, wanting to break out. The former snickered coldly and pulled the Luohou Bow back again.


    Qiu----


    Another blue arrow was shot into the entrance and it froze the other guards that came running across.


    In just a few breaths time, ten ice statues blocked the entrance like a hill.


    ¡°Hahaha! Great! One arrow, two birds!¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t restrain his laugh.


    The ¡®ice hill¡¯ became a barrier, which forced the other guards away. Once they came close, they would be sealed in ice as well.


    The cold from two ice arrows was devastating.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye saw through the ice and saw that the True Force, blood and life force of Quan Chen was starting to freeze¡­.

 181 Start of the Pursui

    Ten figures were sealed in ice, creating a chilling miniature hill.


    This included Quan Chen, who was sealed right in the middle.


    Zhao Feng saw that in half a day to three days, Quan Chen would die due to the cold. Since Quan Chen had not even reached the 5th Sky, it was impossible for him to break through the power of the two arrows. Only Yang Gan had the power to do this.


    ¡°The arrow itself doesn¡¯t have much power, but the extra effect is unbelievable.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and smiled. The current situation was looking great for Zhao Feng. The small ice hill had sealed off the entrance and it became a protective barrier, which allowed him to destroy the arrays inside.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng had appeared in front of the drawer which contained the half transparent, old cloak. The ancient and mysterious aura it gave off quickened his heartbeat.


    Because of the interference just then, the array had healed itself, which meant ZHao Feng had to start all over again.


    Peng! Si!


    Zhao Feng thrust out his palm and a streak of lightning appeared, which caused the drawer to shaked slightly and the white glow to dim faintly.


    After gaining insights into a bit of the Floating Crest Lightning Seal, Zhao Feng had reached the high level in Lightning Wind Palm.


    The fifth level of the Lightning Wind Palm was far stronger than the fourth. At this level, he could use lightning to numb the opponent, but one needed to gain understanding of lightning first.


    If he hadn¡¯t gotten the Floating Crest Lightning Seal, Zhao Feng would probably have to spend a long time gaining comprehension and understanding.


    Peng! Si! Peng! Si!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attack rate wasn¡¯t fast and he didn¡¯t use his whole strength, but the damage of every move was comparable to the 4th Sky.


    ¡°The fifth level of Lightning Wind Palm is indeed powerful. It¡¯s like adding wings to a tiger after merging a bit of the Floating Crest Lightning Seal into it.¡±


    Zhao Feng could feel the lightning in every palm, which could numb the opponent. If the enemy was weak. Zhao Feng¡¯s first palm could shock the opponent, causing him to be unable to move.


    Through the attacks, Zhao Feng kept on perfecting Lightning Wind Palm since the Lightning Wind Palm was a rough work - the creator hadn¡¯t perfected it.


    Zhao Feng kept on changing it and the Floating Crest Lightning Seal also helped. While he was perfecting it, the danger involved also dropped.


    This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s fifth level Lightning Wind Palm was much more powerful than those of others who had trained it.


    He had used this to force back Quan Chen just then. One had to know, Quan Chen was at the pinnacle of the 4th Sky and he had a Middle grade Mortal weapon.


    Under this situation, he was still pushed back by Zhao Feng head on - from this, the power of the Lightning Wind Palm could be seen. If Zhao Feng fully activated the power of his bloodline, he had the ability to even kill Quan Chen in one palm.


    Peng! Si! Peng! Si¡­ !


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks followed a rhythm, neither fast nor slow, but it still caused the array to dim with every hit.


    At the same time, the array would heal itself and reduce Zhao Feng¡¯s damage but overall, the array¡¯s power was decreasing.


    Through the attacks, Zhao Feng would further perfect the lightning wind palm and increased its power while decreasing its danger.


    Of course, his stamina was limited. He would take a small break every hour and take a gulp of spiritual wine or eat some pills every four hours.


    In the blink of an eye, two to three days had passed.


    Peng! Kraaak!


    A thunderous palm smashed onto the white glow of light and shattered it.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression turned to joy as he quickly grasped the worn cloak.


    According to Zhao Feng¡¯s understanding, the array would slowly mend itself even though it was fully broken. Zhao Feng inspected the dark grey cloak and he inserted his True Force inside to inspect it. When he put in a small amount of True Force, the cloak only seemed to become more transparent.


    Zhao Feng put the cloak on and he inserted more True Force into it as well as putting some power of his bloodline in. Suddenly, an unseeable aura enveloped Zhao Feng¡¯s entire body, which gave him the feeling like he was air. Through the inspections of his left eye, he realised that the light arriving at his spot was being bent, affecting the vision of others.


    ¡°Invisibility?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eye flashed and he said.


    In the eyes of other beings, Zhao Feng was like the air. He didn¡¯t expect the cloak to have such a unique ability. Apart from that, Zhao Feng felt as if his body had became as light as a feather.


    Shua!


    A ghostly figure flashed several yards in the treasury. Zhao Feng felt both his agility and speed increase dramatically. Through inspection, Zhao Feng had realised that this cloak had the abilities of invisibility and speed increase. But somehow, when he put only his True Force in, nothing worked. Only till he put in his bloodline power did the effects happen.


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because the cloak is slightly broken already.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t ponder too much over it. He calculated the time and estimated that the black metal monsters would start pursuing them in a few hours time. No one could face the attacks of the True Spirit Realm.


    Zhao Feng scanned the treasury and he lightly sighed before walking out. The coldness of the ice hill had decreased dramatically. Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed as he looked at it.


    Lightning Wind Palm!


    Zhao Feng put his full strength into his palm and he smashed it against the ice hill.


    Craaaack!


    The ice hill split into pieces and the frozen guards shattered. However, there was nothing in the center of the ice hill.


    Quan Chen¡¯s figure had disappeared.


    ¡°The Floating Crest Trial is far too kind. The moment someone faces death, the Floating Crest Token inside them will send them out.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he concluded. Every participant had a Floating Crest Token merged inside them. Therefore, one could only kill someone if they had absolute strength and the ability to instant kill them before the token sent them out.


    For the past few days Zhao Feng had kept on attacking the array while perfecting his Lightning Wind Palm at the same time. He didn¡¯t know what had happened or how Quan Chen had disappeared.


    ¡°Oh well, Quan Chen¡¯s only a mosquito that I can easily kill with my current strength.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed as he walked outside.


    Hu!


    A queer power enveloped his body as he put on the cloak. Instantly, Zhao Feng became a transparent figure and most of the guards surrounding the building couldn¡¯t even sense him.


    The worn cloak could make Zhao Feng invisible and only if the latter moved fast would there be a ripple. At this instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was comparable with the 5th Sky. More importantly, he only needed to put in his bloodline power once - he could continuously maintain it by using his True Force afterwards.


    ¡°Haha, let¡¯s call it the ¡®Yin Shadow Cloak¡¯ then.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed as he exited the castle. The instant he did so, he felt a pressure bear down on him, like he had been locked onto by a terrifying existence.


    At the same time.


    Yang Gan, Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan¡­ all the participants in every location of the Sky Boundary Island felt a pressure. This pressure made their hearts skip a beat.


    Was the pursuit about to begin?


    Zhao Feng murmured as he scanned his surroundings with his left eye.


    Suddenly.


    From ten yards away, a ripple and a devastating aura appeared which made it hard for him to breathe.


    Weng!


    A glowing white door appeared in the area of the ripple and from it a blurry figure stepped out. It was a metal monster with a pair of wings three stories high with green eyes. A layer of green surrounded it and it released its aura - creating an airwave pushing in all directions.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed as he sped in another direction. The black metal monster released a soul-shaking howl, which caused Zhao Feng¡¯s heart to skip a beat.


    Huhu!


    The pair of wings waved in the air as the black metal monster leapt at Zhao Feng.


    Pursuit!


    An existence at the True Spirit Realm was pursuing him! Zhao Feng¡¯s bones went cold as he became a blurry figure that sped off into the distance. Luckily, the monster¡¯s speed was only comparable to the 2nd Sky, just a bit faster than the first stage.


    ¡°Phew, at least it¡¯s speed isn¡¯t fast.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    If the black metal monster¡¯s speed was too fast or even at the same level as the cultivators, no one would last a day. This was because it was at the True Spirit Realm, which meant that it¡¯s True Force would be ten, twenty times denser than those at the Ascended Realm and it would be able to chase for months without a problem.


    Zhao Feng soon shook off the monster, but the latter would soon catch up if he took a break.


    What was more terrifying was that the black metal monster¡¯s speed increased bit by bit over time.


    ¡°The longer one lasts, the more terrifying the pursuit. This means that at the end, the black metal monsters could indeed reach the True Spirit Realm in terms of speed¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng took in a deep breath.


    There might be great rewards in the Sky Boundary Island, but the trial won¡¯t let you find them without work. At the same time, all the other disciples faced this pursuit.


    Within the ancient forgotten garden.


    ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s time¡­ ¡±


    Bei Moi scuttled out of a green palace and ran around in circles around the garden. Behind him, the black metal monster followed him and its terrifying aura caused the nearby beasts to scatter in fear. The Bei Moi at this moment was stronger than before - he had broken through to the 4th Sky two days ago, but he still had to run.


    The tall tower forest.


    Yang Gan who was at the half step - 6th Sky only had the choice to escape as well.


    Facing an existence at the True Spirit Realm, it didn¡¯t matter if you were at the 4th or 6th Sky since you would both be instantly killed in one hit! All the participating disciples were running away.


    ¡°The longer one stays in the trial, the better the score.¡±


    \---- The last stage had just begun.

 182 Last Stage

    Floating Crest Palace, the entrance.


    The four Elders and Clan Master sat silently, and in the blink of an eye, eighteen days had passed in this fashion.


    No one had exited since the eighth day.


    ¡°It should be at the late parts of the last stage now.¡±


    First Elder said slowly.


    Solemness appeared in the eyes of the five at the True Spirit Realm.


    Both the Clan Master and Granny Liu Yue had worried faces.


    From previous experience, even the best generation should only have two to three people left.


    And this time none of the remaining seven disciples had been kicked out.


    ¡°As long as the Floating Crest Palace doesn¡¯t close, it means there¡¯s still people alive in there.¡±


    Elder Xue sighed lightly.


    His disciple Sun Yuanhao had already been kicked out, so he had no expectations from the trial.


    The only thing he didn¡¯t forget was Zhao Feng - the person who had kicked out his disciple.


    Just at this moment.


    Weng!


    A green light flashed at the entrance and the eyes of the five lit up.


    There was finally someone coming out!


    A figure shaking due to cold appeared in their sight.


    ¡°Chen¡¯er?¡±


    Hai Yun Master didn¡¯t know whether to be happy or sad.


    The first person to be expelled from the third stage was his disciple, Quan Chen.


    There weren¡¯t any injury marks on Quan Chen, but the latter kept on hiccuping and emitted off a cold aura.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    Quan Chen said as he fell onto the ground, frozen.


    ¡°Let me.¡±


    Granny Liu Yue swiped her hand and a grass green True Force merged inside Quan Chen, which dissolved the coldness within the latter¡¯s body.


    ¡°Such pure element of ice, and it seems to contain a bit of aura from a bloodline power, but luckily the bloodline power seems to be weak¡­.¡±


    Granny Liu Yue sighed.


    ¡°Chen¡¯er, what happened for you to reach such a state?¡±


    Hai Yun Master asked.


    Quan Chen had hatred in his eyes as he spat out through clenched teeth: ¡°Zhao Feng!¡±


    Zhao Feng!


    The Elders present all looked at each other; what did this have to do with Zhao Feng?


    ¡°Disciple here barely managed to enter the central area of a castle and Zhao Feng came right at that time, meaning that I had to team up with him. However, this shameless bastard backstabbed me!¡±


    Fire seemed to spit out Quan Chen¡¯s eyes. It was as if he wanted to rip Zhao Feng into shreds.


    Zhao Feng again!


    The Elders were all shocked and angered.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡­ how many people will he kill to feel satisfied?¡±


    Elder Xue raged as his True Spirit Realm aura filled the air. This made Quan Chen¡¯s heart skip a beat and think at the same time: ¡°Could Zhao Feng have provoked others?¡±


    The Elders and Clan Master were all angered.


    When did the Clan have such a failure?


    Only First Elder had his eyebrows raised and was somewhat calm: ¡°We¡¯ll settle these grudges after the trial. We should first understand the situation within the trial.¡±


    The others all looked towards Quan Chen. They all wanted to know how the others were doing in the trial.


    Quan Chen then explained his experience in the trial. Of course, he purposely summarised Zhao Feng as a wicked and disdainful person. For example, when another disciple was poisoned by a snake, he mocked them instead of helping and stole his Scarlet Blood Fruit¡­¡­


    Quan Chen¡¯s explanation made the Elders¡¯ raise their eyebrows.


    As for Zhao Feng¡¯s success, Quan Chen said nothing.


    ¡°It¡¯s unbelievable that the seven of you were all able to succesfully pass the second stage.¡±


    The five let out a breath.


    They were all excited and relieved that the seven were able to reach the third stage.


    And as for the reason why they were able to succeed, it was ¡®teamwork.¡¯


    ¡°According to what you said, the second stage was extremely dangerous, and even if all of you teamed up, there would still be injuries or death. This means there were other reasons as to why you all passed.¡±


    First Elders¡¯ eyes lit up as he grasped a major point.


    ¡°There was another reason ¨C Zhao Feng that shameless bastard somehow got rotten luck and comprehended a mental energy sound attack that could counter those bats¡­.¡±


    Quan Chen mumbled.


    Mental energy sound attack?


    A light flashed in First Elders¡¯ eyes as he exchanged glances with the Clan Master.


    With their experience, how could they not see that Quan Chen was being biased?


    ¡°Oh yes, Chen¡¯er. What did you gain from the trial and what was the reward?¡±


    Hai Yun Master smiled and changed the topic.


    The other Elders instantly revealed expressions of interest as they heard this.


    Quan Chen was someone who had reached the third stage after all; there should be some sort of reward.


    ¡°Disciple here¡¯s final result was 150 points, which I exchanged for a High class Mortal skill. I also got some weapons and resources¡­.¡±


    Quan Chen reported his gains.


    The High class Mortal skill was exchanged with his points while the other items were not bad either.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t get any Mortal weapons of the High grade or better.


    ¡°Not bad, 150 points. You¡¯ve made a good contribution to the Clan by getting a High class Mortal skill.¡±


    Hai Yun Master praised.


    There weren¡¯t that many High class Mortal skills in the Clan and an extra High class Mortal skill also increased the Clans¡¯ power.


    ¡°150 is a middle-high score from previous experiences.¡±


    First Elder smiled as he nodded his head.


    The Elders were all very expectant of the remaining disciples in the trial.


    A total of seven had made it to the last stage, which was the first time this had happened in the past hundred years.


    The other six would probably have even greater gains if Quan Chen had such a score already¡­.


    ¡°It¡¯s been eighteen days now, and from the last ten trials, only Brother Hai Yun was able to last more than one month.¡±


    Granny Liu Yue¡¯s face was flushed red as she laughed.


    Hai Yun Master had beaten the record of the past hundred years and was the only one to last a month or longer in tens of previous trials.


    This was the best score.


    However, from the looks of this generation, there was a chance of beating him.


    Expectant!


    The Elders were excited.


    What would the highest score be this time? Was it possible to beat Hai Yun Master¡¯s record?


    Hai Yun Master included was also expectant and thought silently: ¡°Bei Moi, you¡¯d better not let me down¡­.¡±


    ¡­..


    Floating Crest Trial, Sky Boundary Island.


    In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flew steadily through ice mountains.


    He was only using half his speed but was able to throw the black metal monster off easily.


    ¡°The monsters¡¯ speed is becoming faster.¡±


    Zhao Feng came to a stop and felt slightly pressured.


    According to his estimates, the black metal monster would reach the 4th Sky speed at around the fifth day, and once it did, even Yang Gan, who was the strongest, would find it hard to survive.


    This was because the black metal monster didn¡¯t need to rest nor regain its energy while the disciples did.


    This also meant that the speed between the 3rd and 4th Sky was a big gap.


    Furthermore there were even some disciples who hadn¡¯t even reached the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm yet, which meant that it was impossible for them to last till the fifth day.


    The first day¡­.. The second day¡­. The third day¡­


    The remaining disciples felt the pressure become greater.


    The black metal monsters didn¡¯t know tiredness nor needed to rest; their speed on the contrary increased steadily.


    On the third day, Liu Yue¡¯er and Lin Fan both felt weary.


    The cultivation of these two were at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm, and the monsters¡¯ speed weren¡¯t much slower than theirs.


    As for the others, such as Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan, they had both broken through to the 4th Sky.


    The strongest person here, Yang Gan, was almost at the 6th Sky.


    The trial this time gave higher scores and squeezed out their potentials.


    ¡°If it continues like this, the black metal monsters¡¯ speed will catch up to me on the seventh day.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    He realised that he would definitely die at the end if he kept on running, and a new path of thinking appeared.


    Why not kill the opponent instead of being killed?


    A normal person would only have one choice when facing an existence at the True Spirit Realm and that was ¨C run, because if they fought a being at the True Spirit Realm head-on, death was the only answer.


    However, running away wouldn¡¯t do much since the monsters¡¯ speed would become faster and faster, and they would eventually catch up.


    ¡°Take out the monster!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind gave birth to a terrifying thought.


    Why not destroy the danger before it destroys you?


    HuHu~


    At this moment in time, the enormous shadow of the black metal monster flew over.


    Its aura had Zhao Feng hardpressed to breathe. The latter¡¯s thoughts spun and thought: ¡°There¡¯s a couple very dangerous places here that would even cause those at the True Spirit Realm to die if they¡¯re careless.¡±


    Thinking up to here, he suddenly changed direction.


    Destination: Dragon Snake Ice River!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed increased dramatically as he used the ability of his Yin Shadow Cloak and headed towards the ¡®blue crystal tear¡¯ in the frozen pond.


    Although his cloak could make him invisible, it couldn¡¯t hide him from an existence at the True Spirit Realm.


    Furthermore, he had a Floating Crest Token inside his body that was locked on to by the black metal monster, meaning that no matter how fast he ran, he still wouldn¡¯t be able to escape it.


    Four hours later.


    A small, chilling pond appeared up ahead.


    The water in the pond was a strange blue, and the surroundings were full of ice.


    Zhao Feng came near the freezing pond and the cold emited from it almost made his entire body freeze.


    He circulated his bloodline power and took out his Luohou Bow, which mitigated the freezing cold by half.


    A part of it was resisted by his bloodline, while another part was absorbed by the lotus symbol on the Luohou Bow, which made the symbol blink blue.


    Zhao Feng stood near the freezing pond and waited. He then took a deep breath and glanced towards the pond.


    Only he knew how terrifying and forbidden that place was. He had accidentally touched it last time, and the entire Sky Boundary Island became full of ice ¨C what kind of power was this?


    From afar, the aura of the black metal monster came closer and closer.


    It¡¯s coming¡­.


    The black metal monster howled as it came into sight.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s azure hair waved in the wind just like the Yin Shadow Cloak behind him, which also gave off a mysterious, ancient aura¡­.

 183 Egg

    At this moment in time.


    Zhao Feng had stopped and he faced the black metal monster, a terrifying existence at the True Spirit Realm, head-on. This was something that no other person would dare to do in the trial.


    Face off against the black metal monster?


    Without any doubt, anyone would be killed instantly and with Zhao Feng¡¯s 3rd Sky cultivation, he wouldn¡¯t be excluded.


    Zhao Feng was extremely calm as he fully opened his left eye to the max. His azure eye seemed like he could see through one¡¯s heart. Through his enhanced vision, Zhao Feng could see the elements in the air, the dust, light rays as well as heartbeat and breathing rate¡­


    Zhao Feng could see the black metal monster¡¯s every action, including the direction of its next action.


    Although the monsters¡¯ speed wasn¡¯t fast, Zhao Feng knew that once it came close to him, he would be destroyed in one hit. The difference between the Ascended Realm and True Spirit Realm was like the difference between heaven and abyss.


    Even a cultivator at the peak 7th Sky Ascended Realm was just a bigger ant in front of someone at the True Spirit Realm.


    Hu~ Kong---


    The black metal monster flapped its wings and it caused the dust nearby to fly at Zhao Feng. The latter¡¯s left eye began calculating the black metal monsters speed and attack range.


    Now the monster was almost ten yards away from Zhao Feng and ten yards was the black metal monsters¡¯ attack range.


    Zhao Feng suddenly felt an unbearable pressure crush down towards him and it made his True Force and blood freeze.


    If it was a normal cultivator at the 2nd or 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to even circulate their True Force. In this desperate situation, Zhao Feng shouted and his bloodline power boiled within him and it merged into his defensive barrier.


    Hu~Wu~


    At the same time, the cloak behind Zhao Feng lifted up and instantly, he was as light as a feather as he sped towards the spot just above the freezing pond.


    Boooom!


    A chaotic dark green wind had hit the spot where Zhao Feng was previously standing and it sent the water in the freezing pond everywhere.


    The water was extremely weird and when it landed on the black metal monster, it caused the latter to stiffen lightly. However, the monster had reached the True Spirit Realm and a dark green light flashed, which dissolved the energy.


    It only had one aim and that was to kill Zhao Feng.


    Plop!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body suddenly dropped into the freezing pond and he dived deeper.


    Without hesitation, the black metal monster dived in after him and a chilling coldness came, which created a layer of ice over it.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly as his azure bloodline power was activated and his Yin Shadow Cloak released a strong power.


    Sou! SOu!


    Zhao Feng flashed back into the air as fast as lightning.


    Speed!


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s advantage over the black metal monster.


    In the instant just then, he had used all his bloodline power and the Yin Shadow Cloak as well to increase his speed to the 6th Sky, even though it was just for a short amount of time.


    It was at this time that the monster had fell into the freezing pond and it wasn¡¯t able to catch up.


    Firstly, its speed was restricted. Secondly, it was far larger, meaning that more of the coldness went to it.


    If it was just this however, with its True Spirit Realm cultivation, it could still break free.


    ¡°Stay here forever.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he took out the Luohou Bow imidair and put his bloodline power into it. This made the lotus on the bow to bloom.


    Beng~ Sou- Sou- Sou----


    Three ice blue arrows pierced the freezing pond in a weird order


    After entering the pond, the power of the arrows¡¯ increased dramatically. This was because the power of both the Luohou Bow and the arrows that came from the pond. And in the pond, their power doubled.


    Apart from that, Zhao Feng¡¯s full bloodline power also caused the power of the attack itself to double. And there were three arrows, not one. Under these circumstances, the arrows reached an unbelievable state of damage.


    The three arrows successfully penetrated the black metal monsters defense. The first arrow broke into pieces, the second hit the monster and the third exploded on impact, causing a wave of coldness to envelope the monster.


    A thick layer of ice formed on top of the black metal monster and in the freezing pond, the sealing effect was at least doubled, even more so when there were three arrows.


    The body of the black metal monster started to sink.


    This was the start of a nightmare which meant eternal sleep for it because it was sinking towards the ¡®blue crystal tear¡¯.


    Zhao Feng knew how terrifying the crystal was. Just a sizzle of its power caused the temperature of the entire Sky Boundary Island to change.


    It was a forbidden item in this place!


    The further the monster sank, the stronger the seal became. When it reached the borders of the tear, a blue ripple extended out.


    Siiiiiiii~~~~~~


    The struggling black metal monster stiffened and its power was frozen.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a familiar coldness appear. He circulated his bloodline power and Yin Shadow Cloak to the max and he became a half-transparent figure that sped across the sky.


    A heart-chilling coldness spread from where he had just been and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but hiccup even though he was hundreds of metres away.


    Luckily, he had his bloodline power as well as the lotus symbol on his Luohou Bow, which could absorb some of the coldness.


    With the help of the Yin Shadow Cloak, Zhao Feng could fly in the air for one to two miles straight before landing. Without his cloak and bloodline power, that was impossible.


    After escaping from the desperate situation, Zhao Feng let out a breath and he glanced in the direction of the freezing pond.


    It was dead silent.


    Zhao Feng could imagine that the black metal monster had been completely sealed in the ice, sleeping for eternity.


    At the same time.


    The temperature of the Sky Boundary Island had dropped once more. Thirty or so degrees had dropped just then, meaning that when water fell, it would instantly become ice.


    Those at the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm were able to resist it and only those at the 4th Sky and above were able to move around freely.


    ¡°Why did the temperature drop again?¡±


    A hundred miles away, Bei Moi, who was being chased by a black metal monster, was stunned. His eyebrows rose; this was similar to what had happened ten days ago. But his instincts told him this was man made, not the caused by the Sky Boundary Island.


    Because he almost had an ¡®Spiritual Earth Body¡¯, he could sense the changes in the elements of the air better than most others. The other disciples also all felt the temperature drop.


    Those with lower cultivation like Liu Yue¡¯er and Lin Fan both felt hard pressed. But on the contrary, most of the beasts either died or hid in nearby caves.


    No one would have imagined that an almost undefeatable ¡®black metal monster¡¯ had been forced into eternal sleep.


    ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯ve now taken care of the danger, what can the trial do to me now?¡± Zhao Feng laughed.


    Without the monster pursuing him, he decided to return to the castle.


    The treasury.


    Zhao Feng had the Yin Shadow Cloak which hid him and since he was familiar with the landscape, he was able to easily enter the castle.


    There were hundreds of drawers containing all sorts of treasures of which Zhao Feng had to choose his second item.


    ¡°Should I get a weapon this time?¡±


    Zhao Feng had a huge smile on his face. There were quite a few weapons in here that were at the Spiritual grade - items treated like heirlooms in the Broken Moon Clan.


    Thinking about it, Zhao Feng decided not to because Spiritual grade weapons were too high for him. Even if he got one, he would most likely have to give it to the Clan. If he didn¡¯t, it would only cause trouble.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, most cultivators at the True Spirit Realm didn¡¯t even have one. Wouldn¡¯t it be attracting death for him, an Ascended Realm disciple, to have one? Therefore, Zhao Feng made the decision to find other targets.


    ¡°Hmm? What¡¯s this?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze landed on a slightly larger drawer. Inside it was metal components - head, arms, armor¡­ All of it golden.


    Zhao Feng analysed it and he realised that it would become a Golden guard, kind of similar to the silver and black armored guards outside, but its materials were more precise.


    ¡°What¡¯s the strength of these golden guards? Can they work for me if they¡¯re pieced together?¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    He was extremely knowledgeable and he was able to somewhat guess what these guards were.


    There was something called ¡®Puppets¡¯ and these guards were Mechanical Puppets. Mechanical puppets were created by specific arrays and energy cores and they could be controlled by people.


    ¡°Since its a mechanical puppet, it won¡¯t have its own consciousness. As long as they have an energy core, they can be controlled by people.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought about it, then he shook his head.


    Mechanical puppets were after all, outside items! He controlled the urge to have help from outside items, even though he analysed that the golden guards¡¯ strength was at least at the 7th Sky and they might be able to even resist against the True Spirit Realm.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes then landed on another target. It was a grey egg around the size of a fist with weird lines carved on it. Even though Zhao Feng opened his left eye, he still couldn¡¯t see through the egg.


    What was more unbelievable was that he caught the faint trace of life within the egg.


    Life within the egg?


    If Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have his left eye, he wouldn¡¯t even believe this. The Floating Crest Palace was extremely ancient and according to Broken Moon Clan, it was at least tens of thousands of years old.


    Tens of thousands of years and it was still alive - it¡¯s life was stronger than anyone could imagine.


    ¡°Hm, I¡¯ll try anyways. There¡¯s nothing I have to do anyways and although there¡¯s no flaws in the protective array, I can still destroy it in six to seven days¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng murmured to himself.

 184 The last three

    Peng Si! Peng Si!


    Zhao Feng used his Lightning Wind Palm and his attacks landed on the drawer¡¯s array one after another. There weren¡¯t any obvious flaws in the array protecting the drawer and its recovery power was stronger than the previous one. However, the grey egg inside the drawer wasn¡¯t damaged a single bit with the attacks.


    At first, Zhao Feng was scared to damage it. But after inspecting it, he realised that the hardness of the shell was far stronger than he expected. If it was a normal egg, the slightest bit of energy from his Lightning Wind Palm would crush it into pieces. However, it was an egg that had life in it after tens of thousands of years - it couldn¡¯t be simple.


    There were several ice figures blocking the entrance and at this time, there was nothing to interfere with Zhao Feng. The greatest threat had been destroyed by him - he could now do whatever he wanted.


    In the entire Sky Boundary Island, only Zhao Feng was this carefree. The other disciples were all running around due to the black metal monsters chasing them, how could they have the time to do other stuff?


    On the fourth day of the pursuit, which was the twenty-second day of the trial, there were some who couldn¡¯t take it anymore. At this time, the black metal monsters¡¯ speed had reached the 3rd Sky of the Ascended Realm. Lin Fan and Liu Yue¡¯er, who were both at the 3rd Sky, were all puffed out.


    Under this desperate situation, their potential was drawn and their speed was comparable to the 4th Sky. However, no matter how much they increased their speed, the amount of energy they used couldn¡¯t be decreased.


    The black metal monster didn¡¯t need to rest or recover. It was traveling at ¡®low speed¡¯ since it was actually at the True Spirit Realm and the energy used could be considered nil. Those at the True Spirit Realm could absorb energy from the air while they flew to recover, whereas those at the Ascended Realm could only gain energy during cultivation.


    The difference between the two was just too great.


    On the fourth day, both Liu Yue¡¯er and Lin Fan were kicked out.


    A dark green glow enveloped Lin Fan¡¯s body the instant he was hit by the black metal monster. His face was flushed red as his blood as True Force seemed to freeze.


    ¡°My limit is here¡­ ¡± Lin Fan closed his eyes.


    In reality, it was unexpected of him to reach up to here and his score was even considered middle top from previous trials. He didn¡¯t know why, but the instant he was about to die, a figure appeared in his head. It was an azure haired youth who maintained his calmness throughout the trial.


    ¡°I wonder how he¡¯s doing¡­ ¡± Lin Fan murmured to himself.


    Weng~


    The Floating Crest Token in him released a weird sound and the next moment, Lin Fan disappeared while the black metal monster also vanished through a door.


    ¡­..


    Entrance of the Floating Crest Palace.


    Liu Yue¡¯er and Lin Fan walked out one after another.


    ¡°Yue¡¯er.¡±


    Granny Liuyue had a look of relief and joy seeing that Liu Yue¡¯er was fine. Both Liu Yue¡¯er and Lin Fan had lasted twenty-two days, even better than Quan Chen. Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s final score was 178, while Quan Chen¡¯s was only 150.


    ¡°178¡¯s not bad, it¡¯s close to first place from the last trial.¡± Granny Liu Yue¡¯er praised.


    After all, Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s cultivation was low. Her rewards was around the same as Quan Chen because her cultivation was lower and her offense wasn¡¯t as strong as the latter¡¯s. Lin Fan lasted longer than Liu Yue¡¯er by half an hour and when he came out, his cultivation was at the late stages of the 3rd Sky.


    ¡°Lin Fan, what was your score?¡± Granny Liuyue asked as she smiled.


    Of all the disciples, Lin Fan had the lowest status since all the other disciples had Elders backing them.


    ¡°326.¡± Lin Fan carefully called out his score.


    What!?


    The expressions of the Elders changed.


    ¡°326¡­ Are you sure you¡¯re not joking?¡±


    Hai Yun Master stared at Lin Fan and his True Spirit Realm aura caused the latter unable to breath.


    326!


    This score was far better than first place of the previous trials. Even prodigies who had lasted longer than Lin Fan didn¡¯t have such a big score.


    ¡°Disciple here isn¡¯t lying, it is 326.¡±


    Lin Fan took a deep breath and reported how many points he got for each section.


    First stage, 20 points.


    Second stage, 30 points


    Third stage, surviving four days, 40 points.


    Performance score: 236.


    Total score: 326.


    ¡°How is your performance score so high?¡± Liu Yue¡¯er said in disbelief.


    Her performance score was only 80-90 meaning that Lin Fan had more than doubled hers.


    However, Lin Fan was speaking the truth - his score was indeed far higher than Liu Yue¡¯er and QUan Chen¡¯s.


    Lin Fan received a High grade Mortal weapon and a Peak tier Mortal skill, this meant he had more treasures than Liu Yue¡¯er as well.


    ¡°Peak tier Mortal skill!¡±


    The Elders took a deep breath and then they believed Lin Fan.


    Spiritual grade skills were almost extinct in this continent and even if they were Spiritual grade skills, those at the True Spirit Realm might not even be able to cultivate them. Therefore, the value of a Peak tier Mortal skill was extremely high.


    ¡°Lin Fan, you¡¯ve obtained the Clan a High class Mortal skill, contributing greatly to the Clan. If you give this skill to the Clan, you will be awarded a great number of contribution points as well as other items¡­ ¡±


    Skills at the High grade Mortal skill or higher usually weren¡¯t written since it would be hard to contain the profoundness in it. They were usually spoken, contained within a scenery or an item. The Peak class Mortal skill Lin Fan got was also like this.


    If he made the decision to give it to the Clan, he could use it himself while getting contribution points at the same time. Rewards would be given to those who had obtained precious items from the trial and given them to the Clan.


    Lin Fan didn¡¯t feel any enmity towards the Clan at all because the Floating Crest Palace itself belonged to the Clan and he wouldn¡¯t even be able to enter it without the help of the Elders.


    ¡°Lin Fan, why was your score so much higher than Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s?¡± Granny Liuyue asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s because¡­ ¡± Lin Fan thought back.


    In the third stage, he had met Zhao Feng, who had pointed out where to go. He went to the canyon where there was a weird village inside and he had his own experience. At the end, he had received a Floating Crest Seal.


    This ¡®Floating Crest Seal¡¯ didn¡¯t have anything special about it. But at the end, it was worth one hundred points. Therefore, Lin Fan had a one hundred point advantage compared with the others.


    ¡°Disciple here accidentally fell into a canyon where there was a village inside¡­ ¡±


    Lin Fan was very smart and he didn¡¯t mention Zhao Feng. The canyon itself was Zhao Feng¡¯s secret, and he had trusted him with it. WIthout Zhao Feng¡¯s permission, he wouldn¡¯t tell anymore.


    ¡°Your talent is normal but have great luck. Through effort, your future might not be bad.¡±


    The Clan Master smiled faintly.


    With Lin Fan and Liu Yue¡¯er exiting, there were only four people left in the Floating Crest Trial.


    Yang Gan, Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan and Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Of the past ten trials, Brother Hai Yun had the best score, reaching 400 or so points. There¡¯s a lot of hope to beat the record this time.¡±


    The Clan Master and Elders were all expectant,


    The four remaining disciples represented the Clan Master, First Elder and Hai Yun Master with First Elder in the lead with both his disciples still in the trial.


    Yang Gan, who had the highest cultivation, was also a disciple of first Elder. Of course, Zhao Feng, who had the lowest cultivation, was also First Elders¡¯ disciple.


    ¡°First Elder, there¡¯s a high chance of Yang Gan breaking the record this time.¡± Granny Liuyue said.


    ¡°Hopefully.¡± First Elder replied emotionlessly, but he had high hopes in his heart.


    From the current situation, Yang Gan had the highest hopes of coming first and beating Hai Yun Master¡¯s record. As for Zhao Feng who had the lowest cultivation, everyone had a bad impression of him and they excluded him automatically.


    First Elder was the most surprised and thought: ¡°I can¡¯t believe that that brat could still make it up to now.¡±


    There was only one person who looked at it differently and that was Lin Fan. He had a feeling that Zhao Feng¡¯s score would be really big. Apart from this ¡®feeling¡¯, there was another reason. He remembered that Zhao Feng resisted the temptation in the last stage and went to scout the entire island instead.


    From this point alone, his ambition could be seen.


    Floating Crest Trial.


    Time passed slowly and on the fifth day of the pursuit, which was the twenty third day of the trial, no one exited.


    On the sixth day, still no one exited.


    At this time, the black metal monsters¡¯ speed had reached the 4th Sky. This already surpassed the average disciples¡¯ cultivation in the trial. After the black metal monster reached this speed, the increase finally stabilised.


    Yang Gan, Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan had all found some treasures and they had time to recover the energy they spent.


    Amidst them all, Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s cultivation was approaching the peak of 4th Sky. But the monster pursuing her didn¡¯t get tired at all and on the seventh day, Ran Xiaoyuan reached her limit.


    She was finally hit by the black metal monster and she was enveloped by a layer of dark green light, making her figure disappear from the trial. Her luck was considered average.


    Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s figure appeared at the entrance of the Floating Crest Palace.


    ¡°Xiaoyuan!¡±


    The Clan Master exclaimed and let out a long breath. Her final score was 335, just a tad higher than Lin Fan.


    ¡°Not bad, 335. That¡¯s even better than the top score of the previous trial.¡± First Elder smiled.


    The trial this time set an all time high. Fourth place this time was already better than first place of the last few trials.


    ¡°There¡¯s only three people left - Yang Gan, Bei Moi and that¡­ Zhao Feng.¡±


    The Clan Master¡¯s eyebrows furrowed together when she mentioned the last person.


    The Elders as well as her didn¡¯t have a great impression of Zhao Feng.


    This was especially so for Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master. But somehow, the brat¡¯s luck was extremely good and he had reached the top three!

 185 Worsen

    The Floating Crest Trial had entered the last stages and even someone as strong as Yang Gan, who had reached the peak 5th Sky and was half a step into the 6th Sky, felt hard-pressed.


    On the eighth day of the pursuit, which was also the twenty-sixth day of the trial.


    Yang Gan was puffing and cold sweat formed on his forehead. The monster behind him was slow compared to him, but after being chased for seven to eight days straight, even he couldn¡¯t take it.


    Before he left, he had prepared some pills. But after continuously eating them, their effects decreased.


    It wasn¡¯t a matter of energy recovery now, but his life.


    ¡°My cultivation¡¯s the highest, there shouldn¡¯t be anyone left now.¡± Yang Gan thought.


    At this moment, the black metal monsters¡¯ speed was faster than normal cultivators at the 4th Sky. People such as Bei Moi and Quan Chen should have exited now. But Yang Gan was unwilling to leave this early.


    Only twenty six days had passed; it wasn¡¯t even a month yet and according to First Elder, Hai Yun Master had lasted longer than a month.


    ¡°A month! I need to last at least a month to break the record!¡±


    Yang Gan clenched his teeth.


    Although his will was strong, the life within him was slowly fading away, meaning that he wouldn¡¯t be able to last long.


    Sou!


    At a certain moment in time, Yang Gan saw a figure.


    ¡°Who is it?¡±


    Yang Gan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. How could there be others still in the trial apart from him?


    The figure was a familiar, expressionless youth.


    The youths cultivation wasn¡¯t high, but his speed was extremely fast. A green gourd hung in front of his chest. He was also wearing a green/gold cloth shirt, which had a pair of wings protruding from the back, giving him faster speed and better agility.


    ¡°Bei Moi!¡±


    Yang Gan¡¯s eyes went wide.


    The person coming was indeed Bei Moi and his luck was considered the best of all the disciples. He was sent to the entrance of the ancient garden from the start and he found many treasures.


    The green/gold cloth shirt was an unique treasure which could allow the user to float in the air by just inserting their True Force inside.


    In terms of speed, Bei Moi¡¯s could be compared to the 5th Sky and he didn¡¯t seem to be trying much.


    ¡°Brother Yang.¡±


    Bei Moi glanced expressionlessly at Yang Gan before running off on his own.


    This scene caused Yang Gan¡¯s heart to shake. There was still someone else in the trial and what made it unacceptable was that the other person seemed to be much more relaxed than him.


    Don¡¯t even talk about breaking Hai Yun Masters¡¯ record - it would already be hard trying to come first in this generation.


    ¡°There¡¯s only one thing I can do now.¡±


    Yang Gan took a deep breath and he turned in the direction of the tall tower. He was kind of familiar with the tall tower and there were many powerful beasts there, including a ¡®Yao Beast King¡¯, which was comparable to the True Spirit Realm.


    Yang Gan had a plan and that was to attract the black metal monster to the ¡®Yao Beast King¡¯, so the two would fight.


    However, this wasn¡¯t something that he dared try easily because the ¡®Yao Beast King¡¯ had no restrictions. Its attack and speed weren¡¯t controlled.


    Once he was locked onto by the ¡®Yao Beast King¡¯, he would be instantly killed.


    Furthermore, the Yao Beast King was the leader of a beast horde, which included subordinates at the 5th, 6th and even 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Due to the change in temperature however, most of the subordinates had died or were in hiding.


    Unknowingly, the danger of Yang Gan¡¯s plan dropped.


    Soon.


    Yang Gan attracted the black metal monster to the territory of the ¡®Yao Beast King¡¯.


    At this moment he took a deep breath and concentrated. The slightest mistake could mean his death.


    The danger of a Yao Beast King was far greater than the black metal monster.


    Zhao Feng also knew that there was a Yao Beast King here, but he didn¡¯t dare use this plan because the risk was just too great.


    Kong~~~~ Wu~~~~


    From the tall tower forest came a frightening howl and a fierce-looking Three-Headed Blazing Lion charged over.


    The Blazing Lion had three heads and it was enveloped in flames. Before it even came close, Yang Gan already felt the scorching heat.


    ¡°I was found so fast.¡± Yang Gan was surprised.


    From several miles away, the Three-Headed Blazing Lion had felt his existence, but it was attracted by the True Spirit Realm aura of the black metal monster.


    Yang Gan immediately retreated back to the black metal monster.


    This was an extremely dangerous move since it meant that Yang Gan would have to face the attacks of both the black metal monster and Yao Beast King. But of the two, the black metal monsters¡¯ speed was slower, meaning that it was less risky.


    Soon, the Three-Headed Blazing Lion caught up and he showed his dominance towards the black metal monster. But he was ignored by the latter who was focusing on pursuing Yang Gan.


    The Yao Beast King was extremely angry - he was the King of this forest and this intruder dared to ignore him??


    As for Yang Gan, this ant was ignored. The latter then ran left and right with the black metal monster close behind and the Yao Beast King behind the monster.


    The defense of the black metal monster was extremely strong - it took many hits from the Yao Beast King and it wasn¡¯t injured severely.


    Raging Scorch of the Heavens!


    The Yao Beast King used its ultimate attack and sent three a flame from each of its heads, which then intertwined together and shot towards the black metal monster.


    With a ¡®boom¡¯, a hole the size of half a football field was left in the ground, scorched black.


    Yang Gan was one mile away, but he was still slightly injured by the blast.


    Luckily, this risk paid off - one of the wings and foot of the black metal monster was broken in the attack. It was just a matter of time before the monster was finished off by the Yao Beast King.


    Yang Gan didn¡¯t dare to hesitate and he immediately took off to avoid being pursued by the Yao Beast King after it finished off the black metal monster. No one would be able to survive the chasing of an existence at the True Spirit Realm.


    For the next one to two days, Yang Gan was successfully able to run away.


    ¡°The risk was worth it; I took out a black metal monster.¡±


    Yang Gan let out a long breath as excitement and proudness glinted in his eyes.


    He didn¡¯t know that he wasn¡¯t the first to have such a plan. One wondered what would happen if he knew that someone had already killed a monster several days earlier with far less effort.


    But before Yang Gan could be happy for one or two days, danger once again approached him.


    On the eleventh day of the pursuit, which was also the twenty-ninth day of the trial.


    Weng~~~


    A flashing white door opened ten yards away and from it came out a blurry figure¡­ What!?


    Yang Gan¡¯s body froze as he exclaimed: ¡°Why is there another one!?¡±


    Run!


    Yang Gan instantly made his decision to run, even though the black metal monster had not fully appeared yet.


    The aura that radiated from this black metal monster was the same as the one before, but it¡¯s speed started off at the 4th Sky straight away.


    Treasury within the Castle.


    Peng Si~ Peng Si~


    Zhao Feng used his Lightning Wind Palm and he steadily attacked the array.


    The protective array had faded by over half.


    ¡°The array will break in another two days.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled as he looked at the egg inside. He was thinking what type of species would it be, could it be a legendary ancient type?


    There were some people who had received eggs or newborn animals which were used as mounts or pets. Some pets had great battle power and could hold their own.


    There was apparently a ¡®Golden Ashen Giant Eagle¡¯, which could carry many people at once and it could kill cultivators at the 6th and 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Hmm?


    Suddenly, a terrifying aura enveloped Zhao Feng - it was as if something had locked onto him.


    This feeling was very familiar.


    Weng!


    A flashing white door appeared outside the treasury and a blurry figure appeared.


    ¡°What¡­!? There¡¯s more!?¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned.


    Calculating the time, it had been ten days since the start of the pursuit.


    Ten days.


    This was an important information.


    Every ten days, there would be an extra black metal monster and this was the third tenth day.


    Zhao Feng might have finished off one black metal monster, but as time progressed, the difficulty increased.


    Peng!


    The treasury shook lightly as the black metal monsters¡¯ attack landed on the array. The latter¡¯s size was about three stories high and it couldn¡¯t enter the treasury, but a casual attack from it had already shattered the ice near the entrance.


    Just a sizzle of energy was pushed into the treasury and it almost made Zhao Feng cough up blood. Once it fully blocked off the entrance, Zhao Feng would die.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Zhao Feng turned into a transparent blue figure the instant the shock wave faded and he sprinted out of the treasury.


    Qiu-----


    That figure left a faint azure glow in the sky, the symbol of Zhao Feng using his bloodline power to the max.


    In that short instant.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s explosive speed was comparable to the 6th Sky and he landed on the rooftop opposite the treasury.


    He had finally escaped!


    ¡°This fella¡¯s speed is comparable to the 4th Sky and it just came out!¡±


    Zhao Feng took in a deep breath.


    Without hesitation, he once again attracted the black metal monster towards the freezing pond.


    Four hours later.


    The temperature of the entire Sky Boundary Island reached a point where those at the 4th Sky even felt cold.


    ¡°What the heck? The temperature dropped again.¡±


    One hundred miles away, Bei Moi¡¯s expression turned solemn. Two monsters chased Bei Moi and they came from different angles as well.


    At the same time.


    Zhaso Feng glanced at the freezing pond and murmured to himself: ¡°It can only seal up to two monsters¡­ ¡±


    The area next to the blue crystal tear had been taken up by two small ice mountains. It wouldn¡¯t be able to freeze another black metal monster since the latter wouldn¡¯t be able to be so close.


    At the same time, the temperature had reached a point where even those at the 4th Sky felt cold. If it worsened even more¡­


    Zhao Feng then flew back towards the treasury at max speed.


    After finishing off the second black metal monster, he only had ten days to get the egg out.

 186 Was killed

    Castle Treasury.


    When Zhao Feng returned to the protective array, it had recovered slightly.


    The grey egg lay silently and unmoving inside the drawer and gave off an old, ancient aura.


    It had been tens of thousands of years and yet this mysterious grey egg still had faint signs of life inside.


    ¡°Give me another five more days.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath, his eyes turning sharp ¨C he was definitely going to take this egg.


    Every item within this room wasn¡¯t simple. The weapons stored inside were all at the Spiritual grade.


    What was inside this egg that was still alive for tens of thousands of years?


    These signs meant that the egg was far from normal.


    Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng used his Lightning Wind Palm continuously and steadily levied attacks on the protective array.


    According to his calculations, he needed another five days or so to break the array because it had recovered a bit before. Its recovery speed would become faster if no damage was dealt to it for some time.


    Of the three in the Sky Boundary Island, Zhao Feng was the most relaxed.


    At this moment, both Yang Gan and Bei Moi had no time to rest.


    The latter was flying around the Sky Boundary Island with two black metal monsters pursuing him from behind. But even then his expressionless face showed no signs of panic.


    Bei Moi had a gourd and a Gold/Green Shirt that had a pair of wings protruding from the back, allowing him to agilely fly around.


    When reaching a desperate point, Bei Moi would take a sip from the gourd.


    ¡°This ¡®Clear Sky Spiritual Liquid¡¯ is indeed great. It can recover my life.¡±


    A confident smile formed on Bei Moi¡¯s lips.


    The ¡®Clear Sky Spiritual Liquid¡¯ was a legendary item that could bring one back from the brink of death, healing most if not all injuries.


    This liquid wasn¡¯t a simple Spiritual pill ¨C it had the ability to replenish life.


    Bei Moi would drink a small sip every half a day and his energy would once again reach its peak.


    Compared to him, Yang Gan was struggling.


    Bei Moi could at least run without trying too hard.


    Yang Gan¡¯s True Force, mental energy, life¡­.. Technically everything was running out.


    The second black metal monster was comparable to the 4th Sky the second it appeared, and two days later, it had already reached the speed of the 5th Sky.


    Time flew by quickly.


    On the thirteenth day of the pursuit, the thirty-first day of the trial.


    ¡°It should be over a month now¡­.¡±


    Yang Gan¡¯s consciousness was blurry, and he had reached his limit in every way imaginable.


    He wanted to go to the tall tower forest and repeat his plan, but it ended in failure.


    The Yao Beast King had also been injured itself when it slew the black metal monster and was healing somewhere.


    Floating Crest Palace.


    On the thirty-second day of the trial.


    Weng!


    The door flashed and a tired figure appeared at the entrance.


    ¡°Gan¡¯er!¡±


    First Elder exclaimed as he left a series of afterimages behind and appeared next to Yang Gan. He then sent a calm, soft ¡°True Spiritual Force¡± into the latter¡¯s body.


    Those at the ¡®True Spirit Realm¡¯ went through seven times of massive changes, and their True Force had extreme agility.


    It was because of this their lifespan could reach three hundred years ¨C something inconceivable to mortals.


    ¡°This is due to loss of life.¡±


    Granny Liuyue handed over a Spiritual pill that seemed expensive.


    Soon.


    Color once again appeared on Yang Gan¡¯s face, as he managed to croak out: ¡°Master, for how long did I last?¡±


    His consciousness had already been blurry for the last few days, and he didn¡¯t even know how he had exited.


    ¡°Thirty-two days. Your record approaches Hai Yun Master.¡±


    First Elder spoke with a smile.


    There was no one else who had lasted longer than one month in the past hundred years apart from Hai Yun Master.


    Hearing this, Yang Gan felt slightly sad.


    He didn¡¯t break Hai Yun Master¡¯s record.


    Although they had both lasted more than a month, Hai Yun Master had lasted more than him in total.


    ¡°Gan¡¯er, what was your final result and rewards?¡±


    First Elder asked with anticipation.


    The point of the Floating Crest Trial was to get rewards, and the higher one¡¯s score, the better the rewards.


    ¡°Disciple here managed to achieve 457 points.¡±


    Yang Gan was somewhat proud when he called out his score.


    The Elders and Clan Master nodded their heads with praise.


    Yang Gan was after all, the top participating disciple and his score easily surpassed the best scores of previous trials.


    In terms of rewards, Yang Gan got a peak grade Mortal weapon and martial arts as well as other treasures that surpassed Lin Fan and company.


    ¡°Peak grade Mortal weapon! Not bad, not bad! The Clan¡¯s increased in strength again.¡±


    ¡°There has been no one else getting a peak grade Mortal weapon in the past ten trials apart from Brother Hai Yun.¡±


    The Elders were overjoyed when they heard this.


    In the Clan, only Elder-tier people had the right to use peak grade Mortal weapons, and they were only weaker than Spiritual weapons.


    Yang Gan would probably not be able to use all the peak grade Mortal weapons power and so would give it to the Clan in exchange for something else¡­..


    ¡°Gan¡¯ers performance is indeed comforting. His score is only behind Brother Hai Yun in the past hundred years.¡±


    Elder Xue smiled, but Yang Gan was still somewhat disappointed.


    The amount of days he lasted as well as his final score was both lower than Hai Yun Master¡¯s and didn¡¯t break the hundred year record.


    ¡°If I remember correctly, Brother Bei still seems to be in the trial¡­.¡±


    Yang Gan said uncertainly.


    He was helpless when he mentioned Bei Moi.


    This super prodigy¡¯s luck wasn¡¯t just good but insanely good.


    In the third stage, Yang Gan had been teleported straight next to a beast horde where he had to fight his way out.


    On the other hand, Bei Moi was teleported to the entrance of the ancient garden, which simultaneously greatly increased his strength and gave him precious treasures, allowing him to survive the pursuit of two black metal monsters.


    Even Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have such luck.


    The Floating Crest Trial was a battle of power as well as luck. Sometimes luck was even more important than strength,


    ¡°Oh? How¡¯s Bei Moi doing?¡±


    Hai Yun Master said with interest and expectancy.


    Yang Gan didn¡¯t hide anything and briefed them on Bei Moi¡¯s situation.


    After they heard this.


    The five beings at the True Spirit Realm looked at each other ¨C they didn¡¯t think Bei Moi was this strong; the latter was easily able to stave off two black metal monsters.


    ¡°Bei Moi probably has great luck with him, or else he wouldn¡¯t have been met with such rewards. Maybe this luck is also the rise of our Broken Moon Clan.¡±


    The Clan Master had joy in her eyes.


    From the current situation, it seemed that Bei Moi would definitely beat Hai Yun Master¡¯s score.


    ¡°Congratulations on Brother Hai Yun for taking in such a talented disciple.¡±


    Elder Xue and company went over to flatter Hai Yun Master.


    In the history of the entire continent, which legendary figure didn¡¯t have great luck?


    There was even a saying: ¡°Clans can have those without great talent, but can¡¯t not have those without luck.¡±


    The ¡®Scarlet Moon Patriach¡¯ who had dominated an era had average talent but extreme luck, allowing him to enter one of the four great inheritances - the ¡°Scarlet Moon Inheritance¡±.


    Compared to the most ancient and mysterious four great inheritances, the Floating Crest Trial was nothing. It was like comparing the light of a star to the resplendence of a full moon.


    From this one could see the importance of luck.


    Without a doubt, Bei Moi¡¯s future prospects were looking great. Not only did he have great luck, he also had great talent.


    ¡°Wait! There¡¯s someone else still in the trial apart from Bei Moi.¡±


    Hai Yun Master suddenly said.


    First Elder¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as he fell into thought.


    There was someone else!


    The Elders paused and thought about it carefully. It seemed that there was indeed someone apart from Bei Moi still in the trial.


    ¡°It¡¯s that brat¡­..¡±


    Elder Xue¡¯s eyebrows scrunched together.


    ¡°Someone else?¡± Yang Gan¡¯s heart shook as his expression turned somewhat ugly: ¡°The Elders just said that there was someone else who hadn¡¯t exited apart from Bei Moi.¡±


    After knowing this news, waves shook in his heart.


    Could there be someone else who had surpassed him apart from Bei Moi?


    It didn¡¯t matter if Bei Moi beat him because the latter had great luck and was a super genius.


    ¡°Gan¡¯er, have you seen traces of Zhao Feng in the third stage?¡±


    First Elder asked solemnly.


    He had a bad feeling¡­.


    ¡°Brother Zhao?¡±


    Yang Gan paused slightly; he didn¡¯t believe that person would be Zhao Feng. He then replied: ¡°Disciple hasn¡¯t seen any traces of him ever since I entered the third stage.¡±


    Hearing this, First Elders¡¯ expression changed slightly. Could it be¡­.?


    Elder Xue had gloating in his eyes, while Hai Yun Master¡¯s eyes were full of mockery.


    Granny Liuyue and the rest were in deep thought.


    In the Floating Crest Trial, apart from passing and failing, there was another outcome ¨C death.


    Real death!


    Although the Floating Crest Trial was a Righteous ground of inheritance, it couldn¡¯t fully protect the participants¡¯ lives.


    In previous trials, there were examples of true death, and although it didn¡¯t happen often, it was still normal.


    Soon.


    First Elder called Quan Chen, Lin Fan, Ran Xiaoyuan and the rest of those who had entered the third trial over.


    ¡°I only saw Brother Zhao once before the pursuit started.¡±


    Lin Fan¡¯s answer and Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s and Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s answers were the same.


    It seemed that ever since the beginning of the pursuit, Zhao Feng had disappeared without a trace.


    Their answers were technically the same.


    Counting on that even Yang Gan didn¡¯t even find Zhao Feng¡¯s traces, the truth seemed to appear.


    First Elder took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and became silent.


    The people present could only silently pray for Zhao Feng, and of them all, Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s eyes went red.


    Only Lin Fan had a weird face. When he remembered Zhao Feng¡¯s confident attitude, he felt everything wasn¡¯t as simple as it seemed¡­.


    Floating Crest Trial.


    The thirty-third day.


    The Treasury within the Castle.


    Craaaack!


    The faintest white glow of light shattered, meaning that the protective array had been destroyed.


    Zhao Feng immediately grabbed towards the mysterious egg with excitement and tiredness.

 187 Vine Ocean

    The egg was around the size of a fist and it was a dull grey color. The shell had carvings on it that appeared simple but profound at the same time.


    Zhao Feng held the grey egg and he felt that it was just a stone with no life in it. However, if he calmed down and looked at it with his left eye, it was like he was holding a beating heart.


    After inspecting it for a while, Zhao Feng still had no clue whatsoever.


    He first put a bit of his True Force in, but there was no response. Zhao Feng realised that the egg shell had strong resistance against True Force.


    He suddenly remembered that in some ancient records, it said that one could use their blood to sign a pact.


    However, this was just a rumour ¨C Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know how to do it.


    He paused slightly. Then, he bit his finger and sprayed a few drops of his blood onto the shell.


    The egg still didn¡¯t move, but Zhao Feng felt that his blood made the carvings on the egg more exquisite.


    Enhancing his vision several hundredfold, Zhao Feng caught faint signs of the egg responding.


    ¡°Is my blood that rubbish?¡±


    Zhao Feng could see clearly that only one-thousandth of his blood had been absorbed by the egg shell.


    Then, he had a flash of insight and decided to try it with his bloodline power.


    According to the Blood Corpse Protector, Zhao Feng had an ancient bloodline that made even the spawns of the Scarlet Moon Religion wary. This time, Zhao Feng carefully dropped a stream of faint azure blood that was as thin as a string onto the egg.


    It entered without resistance.


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed!


    However, the next instant, his expression changed dramatically.


    Wu~ Weng~~~~


    The faint azure blood within him was being sucked out - it was seemingly entering a bottomless hole.


    The grey egg was like a newborn baby that was ravenously taking in nutrients.


    In just two short breaths, over half of the bloodline power within Zhao Feng had been sucked out, making him feel weak after having lost so much bloodline power.


    ¡°Stop! Stoppp!¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his left eye, and the azure abyss in the dimension of his left eye spun.


    His bloodline power originated from his left eye and it was controlled by him after all. Zhao Feng had forcefully cut off the relationship with the egg.


    Hu!


    Zhao Feng effortlessly sat on the ground with a pale face. His mental energy was also low.


    Although he had cut off the bond, over half of the azure blood had still been sucked into the grey egg.


    The carvings on the egg had a streak of blood running through them, looking beautiful and sinister.


    Peh Peh! Peh Peh!


    Zhao Feng heard a heartbeat emerge from within the depths of the egg like a new life was being created.


    After waiting for a long time, the grey egg stopped moving. The only thing that changed was that its life aura became stronger.


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged on the ground and he took a big gulp of Spiritual wine as well as ate some treasures. He was soon engulfed in a hot feeling.


    ¡­ He had paid a large price to recover his bloodline power.


    ¡°There¡¯s still five days till the trials¡¯ difficulty becomes far harder.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that time was running out.


    According to what had happened, the difficulty would rise another level every ten days.


    Zhao Feng had spent five days getting the egg, leaving him five days to prepare.


    However, the recovery of his bloodline power was slower than wheat he had imagined.


    Even though he had eaten a bunch of treasures and his True Force was bulging to the point that his cultivation had reached the peak of the 3rd Sky, the recovery of his bloodline power was still slow.


    While he was recovering, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t pay attention to the ring beside him.


    The blood carvings on the grey eggshell faded away and a small crack that couldn¡¯t be seen with the naked eye appeared.


    Under normal circumstances, these changes wouldn¡¯t escape Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes. But the latter was focused on recovering his bloodline power and not on examining the grey egg.


    In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy had reached its peak again and his bloodline power was mostly recovered.


    ¡°There¡¯re still two more days till the start of the new pursuit.¡±


    Zhao Feng put the grey egg inside his interspatial bracelet and didn¡¯t notice the miniature cracks on the grey egg¡¯s surface.


    The most important thing to do right now was to prepare for the next pursuit.


    Four hours later.


    Zhao Feng arrived at the origin of the Dragon Snake Ice River - the freezing pond.


    The wind near the freezing pond was like chilling knives.


    Zhao Feng came over this time to see whether or not the freezing pond could handle another black metal monster.


    After a while, Zhao Feng shook his head ¨C the result was the same as last time.


    1. The area where the mysterious blue crystal tear was had been occupied by the first two black metal monsters.


    2. If he used the tear drop again, the temperature would reach the point where even those at the 4th and 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm would find it hard to resist.


    The same plan couldn¡¯t be used.


    ¡°I must think of another plan.¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    He soon remembered the Yao Beast King in the tall tower forest.


    ¡°The Yao Beast King in the tall tower forest should be able to fight the black metal monster, and with my ice arrows, we could kill the monster, but it¡¯ll be dangerous¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng entered the forest, but after searching for hours, he still couldn¡¯t find the Yao Beast King.


    At a certain place in the forest, Zhao Feng saw a scorched hole in the ground; it seemed that a huge battle had taken place here.


    ¡°This plan¡¯s already been used, and most likely by Brother Yang! Being an existence at the True Spirit Realm, the Yao Beast King has high intelligence and the same plan will be hard to succeed twice.¡±


    Zhao Feng once again denied this plan.


    He decisively left the tall tower forest and arrived near the vine ocean.


    The vine ocean was also a forbidden zone in the Sky Boundary Island.


    Zhao Feng had almost lost his life last time he was here.


    ¡°If I¡¯m seeing correctly, there¡¯s a ¡°Vine King¡± in the centre of the Vine Ocean and has unbelievable strength. It seems to be one with the entire ocean.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood far away and gave this conclusion after inspecting for a long time.


    If he was correct, the entire vine ocean was only a part of the ¡°Vine King¡± itself.


    If so, then this area was definitely one of the most terrifying existences.


    The reason he said ¡®one of¡¯ was because Zhao Feng had seen even more terrifying beings.


    When he was first scouting the Sky Boundary Island, Zhao Feng had found a mountain. The enormous mountain was actually a ¡°Mountain Monster¡± that was in deep sleep.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t even predict how strong it was, but from its deep aura, it seemed that it could kill those at the True Spirit Realm as easily as stepping on ants.


    Until it came worst to worst, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to offend the ¡°Mountain Monster¡±.


    Therefore, he chose the vine ocean instead. He had been here once before and was slightly familiar.


    For the next day, Zhao Feng surveyed the area nearby the vine ocean with his left eye.


    At this time, there were only two people left in the entire Sky Boundary Island: Zhao Feng and Bei Moi.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye saw the latter many times from far away, but Bei Moi was focusing on running away and didn¡¯t find Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This guy¡¯s luck is just too good¡­. He¡¯s wearing a unique shirt and has that gourd¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng clucked his tongue.


    Bei Moi could withstand the pursuit of two black metal monsters up to here.


    Time flew by quickly and the third pursuit was about to begin.


    Both Zhao Feng and Bei Moi had made their preparations.


    On the thirty eighth day of the trial.


    Weng! Weng!


    A flashing white door appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right at the same time, and from it, there was a blurry figure that radiated a terrifying aura.


    ¡°What!? There¡¯s more than one!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt two deadly auras.


    Two black metal monsters then appeared ten yards away on his left and right.


    Run!


    Zhao Feng used his bloodline power, becoming a transparent figure that flew towards the place above the vine ocean.


    The battle plan had been simulated thousands of times in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind to accommodate any change.


    The only difference was that there was two black metal monsters instead of one this time.


    Sou--- Sou---


    Two black metal monsters flapped their wings and pincer-attacked towards Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s azure hair flew in the wind as he inspected the vine ocean below. His figure became a fish that swam through the gaps and would occasionally use his bloodline power and use his ¡®Burning Wind Stance¡¯ to destroy part of the vines to create a path for him.


    When Zhao Feng was scouting the Sky Boundary Island before, he had realised that these vines had a bit of resistance against his Lightning Wind Palm.


    It was the ¡®Burning Wind Stance¡¯ that could counter these vines.


    Zhao Feng used his illusion fish movement skill to the max and, using his left eye to scan the surroundings, had acquired relative safety.


    However, the two black metal monsters chasing him were big and were neither as agile nor as swift as Zhao Feng.


    The two black metal monsters were soon wrapped by limitless vines, but because they were at the True Spirit Realm, their attacks instantly shattered through hundreds and thousands of vines.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t expect the normal vines to hold the monsters at the True Spirit Realm anyway.


    His goal was to attract the black metal monsters to the centre and the plan was proceeding swiftly.


    The black metal monster fell into the central area of the vine ocean.


    Beng-- Sou- Sou-


    Zhao Feng took out his Luohou Bow and fired three or four ice arrows near the two monsters¡¯ surroundings.


    The black metal monsters weren¡¯t harmed by the ice arrows, but they caused their bodies to stiffen slightly at the critical point.


    Beng! Pah! Pah¡­..


    From the centre of the vine ocean came whistling sounds and tens of dark green vines the thickness of a bucket whipped through the air.


    ¡°Wuu¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a feeling that the entire vine ocean was a living being. Every one of the ten vines had power comparable to the True Spirit Realm.


    Luckily, he had planned his retreat in advance, and in reality, the Vine Kings¡¯ attacks were only aimed towards the black metal monsters who posed a threat to him.


    When Zhao Feng had retreated half a mile away, the two black metal monsters had been engulfed in the sea of vine ocean and couldn¡¯t be seen.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a long, relieved breath.


    However.


    Before he could calm down, he felt something tangle his left wrist.


    What was it!


    Zhao Feng jumped up in fright as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.


    Glancing over, the movement seemed to originate from within his interspatial bracelet¡­.

 188 The Trickster Ca

    Zhao Feng¡¯s attention was attracted by the interspatial bracelet.


    The interspatial bracelet was around one cubic meter in size and had a bunch of spoils of war that Zhao Feng had obtained inside.


    The movement came from here.


    Merging his consciousness inside, Zhao Feng realised that the treasures were trembling slightly and half of a fruit had been bitten off.


    The culprit was a small, furry grey cat that seemed as if it had just been born - around the size of palm or so. It had a pair of glistening black eyes that spun around.


    The food-loving cat seemed to sense Zhao Feng¡¯s existence and stiffened in the middle of eating.


    Zhao Feng first paused and then realized that the number of treasures had decreased by half.


    ¡°Where did this thieving cat that ate half my treasures come from?¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely angry.


    These precious treasures were scourged by him from the trials and now it had decreased by half. Even Zhao Feng, who was usually calm, felt steam rise from his head.


    Gulu! Gulu!


    The little grey cat had an expression of disdain; it held up the flagon of wine and started to drink from it.


    ¡°Hey! That¡¯s my Spiritual wine!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed and took out the flagon of wine with his mind.


    However, the grey cat clinged on to the flagon and came out from the interspatial bracelet as well.


    Miao miao!


    The grey cat sucked heavily and revealed expressions of pleasure.


    ¡°Where does this thieving cat come from? Could it be¡­.?¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned as he guessed the origins of the little grey cat.


    There was only a few broken shells where the grey egg was supposed to lie in the corner of the interspatial bracelet.


    Without a doubt, this thieving cat came from the egg, but Zhao Feng had never heard of cats hatching from eggs because it was a mammal.


    What was more unbelievable was that the thieving cat had high intelligence the second it was born. The human-like actions made it seem more like an old fox instead.


    Furthermore, nothing happened to the little thieving cat apart from its stomach getting a bit bigger even though it ate such a copious amount of treasures at once.


    Gulu! Gulu¡­.


    Just as Zhao Feng was lost in thought, the remaining wine had all been drunk by the little cat.


    ¡°What¡­. What kind of monster is this?¡±


    Zhao Feng clucked his tongue secretly.


    Even someone at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm would probably explode after eating such a vast amount of items at once, but this cat only burped before looking at Zhao Feng for more.


    ¡°Hmph! Shouldn¡¯t you give me an explanation for eating so much?¡±


    Zhao Feng went to grab the little thieving cat¡¯s ear and decided to teach it a lesson.


    Miao miao!


    The thieving cat flashed and dodged Zhao Feng¡¯s move.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng was shocked ¨C although it was just a casual grab just then, even cultivators at the 4th Sky wouldn¡¯t be able to dodge it at such a short distance.


    The little thieving cat had not only dodged easily, it also revealed an expression of mockery.


    Mocked by a little cat?


    Zhao Feng was speechless and became more and more curious as to where this cat came from.


    He had never heard of such animals that had such high intelligence at birth and could eat treasures like snacks.


    Ceng!


    The small thieving cat jumped lightly onto Zhao Feng¡¯s arm and put its paw towards his interspatial bracelet.


    Zhao Feng soon realized what it wanted.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat took out a spiritual fruit and started to eat it with joy.


    This was possible?


    Zhao Feng was extremely speechless; his own items from his own interspatial bracelet had been stolen by this thieving cat.


    He was just about to catch it once again, but the little cat flipped away and landed several yards away with a look of disdain while chomping down on the fruit.


    ¡°How dare it look at me in disdain while eating my food!?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a fire surge in his heart, but he didn¡¯t make any rash moves and soon calmed down.


    Even he didn¡¯t have any confidence in catching the cat due to its agility.


    If he acted rashly and let it run away, then it wasn¡¯t worth it.


    One had to know that there was no pact between the two, so there was no relationship between them.


    Furthermore, from the looks of it, the little thieving cat seemed to have no respect for this ¡°master¡± who woke him up.


    After eating the spiritual fruit, the little thieving cat smiled at Zhao Feng with disdain.


    Miao miao!


    The little cat waved its claws as if it was saying ¡®goodbye¡¯, then turned around, and left.


    Run?


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly ¨C it had eaten such a large amount of his treasures and wanted to leave just like that?


    To get this egg, he had wasted tens of days in the trial; how could it leave when it wanted to?


    Ceng! Ceng!


    The little thieving cat turned around time after time and laughed at Zhao Feng. The latter could almost hear what it meant: ¡°Someone like you wants to be my master?¡±


    This little cat¡¯s intelligence wasn¡¯t just high, it was extremely high since it knew Zhao Feng¡¯s intent.


    This means that I can¡¯t let you run away even more.


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and pulled down his eyepatch, revealing a sharp azure eye that gave off a heart-shaking mental energy.


    In terms of speed, Zhao Feng was faster than the little thieving cat, but in terms of agility, the cat was only the size of a palm and Zhao Feng was like a clumsy giant.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng took out his killing move; he opened his left eye and monitored every movement made by the cat.


    At the same time, he used his mental energy to distract the thieving cat but didn¡¯t use his mental energy sound attack since he was worried about damaging the cat since it seemed like it had just been born.


    Miao miao!


    The agile little cat suddenly stiffened as it turned back to look at Zhao Feng and a trace of fear appeared in its black eyes.


    The pair of black eyes stared right at Zhao Feng¡¯s azure eye and began to tremble.


    Hmmm?


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised, as he never expected the little cat to surrender so quickly.


    However, his instincts told him that the cat hadn¡¯t been stymied and only feared his left eye.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat stared at Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye with fear, but the fear soon faded away and was replaced by an obedient look.


    Zhao Feng was puzzled as he pulled the eyepatch back down.


    Ceng!


    The little cat jumped onto Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulders by its own volition.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat reached out with its two little paws and began to massage Zhao Feng¡¯s back.


    The attitude was 180 degrees from before.


    What the f**k!?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye twitched ¨C this cat¡¯s intelligence was even higher than Yao Beast King¡¯s; it was like it was an old fox.


    ¡°Little thieving cat! If you eat my treasures again, I¡¯ll cook you!¡±


    Zhao Feng grabbed the cat by the ear and warned.


    Miao miao!


    The cat nodded its head multiple times and tacitly promised it wouldn¡¯t happen again.


    It didn¡¯t say anything, but Zhao Feng could understand its actions.


    ¡°I¡¯ll believe you then.¡±


    Zhao Feng let go and the little cat ran up his arm and sat on his shoulder like a well-behaved pet.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly pointed towards a certain direction and danced.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng saw an expressionless youth wearing a gold/green shirt and a gourd flying over.


    ¡°Bei Moi?¡±


    Zhao Feng found that the latter¡¯s face was pale and panicky.


    Behind Bei Moi was four black metal monsters that came from different angles, trying to surround him.


    ¡°Junior Brother Zhao!¡±


    Bei Moi saw Zhao Feng in mid air and ran towards him.


    The four black metal monsters immediately followed behind, their auras imprinting the air with suffocating pressure.


    ¡°Brother Bei, hello.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t worry at all because he knew the monsters only attacked the person with the respective token.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder waved its paws and deflected the black metal monsters¡¯ auras.


    This made Zhao Feng even more surprised ¨C these monsters were at the True Spirit Realm and the cat was as calm as him.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, why aren¡¯t you being pursued?¡±


    Bei Moi puffed as he looked at the cat and human in front of him with shock.


    Zhao Feng was hesitating as to whether or not to tell Bei Moi the plan, but before he could say anything.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws towards the middle of the vine ocean.


    This traitorous cat! How dare you!?


    Black lines appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s head as he grabbed the cat by its ears.


    ¡°Haha, thanks Brother Zhao! This cat¡¯s really cute!¡±


    Bei Moi laughed and headed towards the centre of the vine ocean.


    With his intelligence, it wasn¡¯t hard for him to understand what Zhao Feng had done.


    Hu! Sou! Sou¡­.


    The four black metal monsters immediately headed after Bei Moi.


    Just as Zhao Feng was about to teach the little cat a lesson, something unexpected happened.


    Wu¡­..


    A howl sounded from the vine ocean and released an aura even more powerful than the Yao Beast King of the tall tower forest.


    ¡°Ahhh¡­¡­¡±


    Bei Moi screamed and was pulled down into the vines.


    In the blink of an eye, Bei Moi had been engulfed by countless vines.


    This scene shocked Zhao Feng: ¡°The entire vine ocean is only a part of the ¡°Vine King¡¯, but it was too disdainful to attack earlier, so why did it attack Bei Moi this time¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng looked closely and realized that one of the vines took Bei Moi¡¯s gourd off him and into the very centre of the vine ocean.


    No wonder!


    The Vine King wanted Bei Moi¡¯s gourd.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws in a victory dance and revealed a smug smile.


    Fuck!


    This cat had tricked Bei Moi.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was extremely colorful as he stared as this little thieving cat.


    At the same time.


    The vine ocean.


    ¡°That fucking cat¡­.¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s expressionless face contorted with utter rage.


    Limitless vines wrapped around him and sucked his blood.


    Weng~


    The Floating Crest Token within him gave off a green glow and enveloped his body, which made him disappear the next instant.


    He never would have thought that he would exit by being tricked by a small cat. It would be shameful if he told others.


    Miao miao!


    Before he disappeared, Bei Moi could hear the little thieving cat¡¯s smug laugh.

 189 Breaking the thousand year record

    The thirty-eighth day of the Floating Crest Trial.


    Weng!


    A light flashed at the entrance of the Palace and a youth appeared. His expression was pretty ugly, but no one knew whether this was from feeling weak or in a bad mood.


    ¡°Moi¡¯er!¡±


    ¡°Brother Bei!¡±


    Hai Yun Master and Quan Chen exclaimed with joy.


    At this moment, everyone looked at Bei Moi, who was a super prodigy.


    ¡°Surviving for thirty-eight days. This score is even better than Brother Hai Yun from that year¡­ Indeed, from a great master comes a great disciple¡­ ¡±


    Granny Liuyue and Elder Xue were slightly envious.


    A hundred years ago, the Broken Moon Clan gave birth to a genius - Hai Yun Master. And his disciple was even better as he had beaten his masters¡¯ record.


    ¡°Every step, every long minute in the trial during the late stages of the trial is hard.¡±


    A bright smile appeared from the Clan Masters¡¯ face. This was a true smile.


    It didn¡¯t matter whether or not Bei Moi was her disciple. As long as the Clan had such a genius, it was good.


    However, under everyone¡¯s gazes, Bei Moi showed no signs of happiness. On the contrary, his expression was slightly ugly. But no one paid any attention to it because Bei Moi acted like this usually.


    ¡°Moi¡¯er, what was your final score?¡±


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s question was what everyone was interested in.


    Bei Moi was without a doubt, the top person this trial. He had definitely broken the thousand year record and he was someone who had destroyed Yang Gan, who was ranked second of the core disciples.


    ¡°928.¡± Bei Moi said expressionlessly.


    928!


    Everyone broke out into discussion as they heard this.


    Even Hai Yun Master was surprised. How could he have gotten such a high score. Bei Moi had almost reached a thousand points.


    ¡°Brother Hai Yun had lasted thirty-four days, but his score wasn¡¯t even 600.¡±


    The Elders all glanced at each other. Not only did Bei Moi last longer, his score was also terrifying.


    ¡°This score should have broken the thousand year record of the Floating Crest Palace.¡±


    First Elder was moved.


    Broke the thousand year record!


    Everyone looked at this prodigy with disbelief.


    He was far too strong. Not only did he come first, he had broken Hai Yun Master¡¯s record as well as the thousand year record. Everyone felt their blood boil as they witnessed this scene.


    Soon.


    Bei Moi¡¯s spoils of war were taken out and they were several times better than Yang Gan¡¯s.


    2x Peak class skills.


    3x Peak grade Mortal weapons.


    Hundreds of other random items with around half of them with the value of a mortal weapon. What was more exciting was that Bei Moi had received a Spiritual class skill.


    Spiritual class skill!


    This would be a heirloom in the Clan and even Elders might not be able to master it.


    One had to know that Spiritual class skills were extremely rare on this continent and many had been lost. An extra Spiritual skill increased the Clan¡¯s strength.


    Being the person gazed at with joy, excitement and stun, Bei Moi didn¡¯t feel proud nor happy. On the contrary, his expression became even uglier.


    ¡°Moi¡¯er, not only did you come first in the trial, you also beat your Master, I¡¯s, and the thousand year record. The Clan is proud of you.¡±


    Elder Hai Yun had a praising smile. It was an honor itself to be the teacher of such a genius.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    Bei Moi finally spoke, but there was a hint of guilt in his voice.


    ¡°Moi¡¯er, what happened?¡±


    ¡°Bei Moi, do you have something to say or do you want anything? You can tell us.¡±


    The Elders and Clan Master looked at Bei Moi, puzzled. Bei Moi¡¯s expression was obviously not normal.


    ¡°Just like Clan Master and the Elders said, I might have broken the thousand year record, but I didn¡¯t come first this trial!¡± Bei Moi took a deep breath and said bitterly.


    What!? What did this mean!?


    Everyone didn¡¯t know what Bei Moi meant by this. He had broken the thousand year record, so how could he not be first?


    First Elder went into deep thought. He then suddenly glanced at the entrance of the Floating Crest Palace and his expression changed slightly: ¡°Wait! The Floating Crest Trial hasn¡¯t ended yet!¡±


    The other Elders and Clan Master all looked at the Floating Crest Palace.


    Indeed, the Floating Crest Palace hadn¡¯t closed, yet meaning that the Trial hadn¡¯t ended. According to previous experience, when the trial ended the Floating Crest Palace would close.


    What did this mean?


    Everyone fell into silence and remembering Bei Moi¡¯s expressions and his actions after he came out, the truth started to appear. However, they didn¡¯t believe this ¡®truth¡¯.


    There was someone else!


    Someone that had been ignored had now become everyone¡¯s centre of attention.


    ¡°There¡¯s only Brother Zhao¡­ That¡¯s impossible!¡±


    Yang Gan, Quan Chen and the other disciples couldn¡¯t believe this. This was especially so for Yang Gan, he couldn¡¯t accept this.


    A disciple with a low grade Spiritual body, who was someone ranked almost last of the participants, had beaten the thousand year record?


    Everyone broke out into chaos, unable to believe this result.


    ¡°Quiet.¡±


    First Elders¡¯ deep voice silenced everyone.


    The Elders¡¯ all glanced at each other. Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master had dim expressions.


    ¡°Moi¡¯er, what happened?¡± Hai Yun Master asked in a low tone.


    All the Elders had realised that the current situation had far exceeded their expectations and control.


    It seemed like from the start of the trial, there was an unseen force that had pushed this Trial forward. Different types of queer events had happened and this symbolised that this trial was different from the others.


    Lu Hu and two others had exited in the first stage, while none were injured or forced out in the second stage.


    As for the third stage, the results were far better than expected.


    And this time.


    Bei Moi had broken the thousand year record and changed the situation once again.


    But Bei Moi still wasn¡¯t first!


    All in all, this trial was too queer!


    At this moment in time, everyone¡¯s gazes focused on Bei Moi. He was probably the only person who knew the truth.


    ¡°Before I exited, I saw Brother Zhao.¡±


    Bei Moi finally opened his mouth and he felt extremely irritated and frustrated when he thought about being tricked by the little thieving cat.


    Brother Zhao! Zhao Feng!


    ¡°How could it be him!?¡±


    Yang Gan, Quan Chen and co. were all stunned due to disbelief.


    They could accept it if it was a super genius such as Bei Moi who had come first. They would only feel helpless. However, they couldn¡¯t accept it if it was Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Bei Moi, talk about your experience.¡±


    The Clan Masters¡¯ eyelashes fluttered.


    Bei Moi started to tell what he had encountered.


    ¡°... Disciple here was still able to survive for another day or two, but I didn¡¯t think I would meet Brother Zhao at this time. The weird thing was, he wasn¡¯t being chased by black metal monsters.¡±


    Speaking up to here, Bei Moi¡¯s eyebrows locked together.


    Wasn¡¯t being chased by black metal monsters?


    How was this possible!?


    The participating disciples were stunned as they shook their heads.


    ¡°Disciple here also felt weird, so I went to ask Brother Zhao. However, he and that crafty cat tricked me into the vine ocean where the ¡®Vine King¡¯ killed me in one thought and made me lose my ¡®Clear Sky Spiritual Liquid¡¯ as well.¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s voice was full of bitterness and his clenched fists trembled slightly.


    There was anger and hatred in his eyes as he thought: ¡°Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng. You tricked me so badly. There¡¯s nothing that can solve the enmity between us.¡±


    ¡°Crafty cat?¡±


    Hai Yun Master grasped this point.


    ¡°It seemed like a pet Brother Zhao had obtained in the trial. It¡¯s craftiness cannot be measured¡­ Or else, disciple¡¯s score would be even better.¡±


    Thinking about how the little thieving cat had duped him, Bei Moi grinded his teeth.


    He couldn¡¯t say that he was tricked by a cat, so he put everything on Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is too wicked! He first kicked Yuan Hao and Lu Hu out, then backstabbed Quan Chen. Now even Bei Moi has been tricked by him!¡±


    Elder Xue was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.


    Hearing this, Quan Chen and co. revealed angered expressions and they asked to discipline Zhao Feng.


    Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Feng had caused four people to exit early, which was close to half the number of those who participated.


    Lu Hu and Yuan Hao had first been kicked into the abyss by Zhao Feng. Quan Chen was then ice sealed by the latter and was forced out. Finally, it was Bei Moi, the person who had broken the thousand year record.


    ¡°It¡¯s not just me!¡±


    Seeing everyone¡¯s expressions, Bei Moi realised that he wasn¡¯t the only victim. This made him feel slightly better.


    Granny Liuyue¡¯s eyebrows furrowed: ¡°Our Broken Moon Clan is a righteous clan. How could we have produced such a wicked disciple?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Zhao Feng is evil. Even his pet is crafty. This is meant by ¡®similars attracts similars¡¯.¡± Hai Yun Master exclaimed.


    His heart, however, wasn¡¯t calm: ¡°Xu Ran, Xu Ran. What kind of luck did you get to take in two such talented disciples?¡±


    ¡°Clan Master, First Elder, we must punish him!¡± Elder Xue said righteously.


    First Elder and Clan Master glanced at each other.


    ¡°This might not be as simple as we thought. Let¡¯s wait for Zhao Feng to come out first.¡±


    First Elder¡¯s voice was calm. Even if the other Elder¡¯s had problems, they had to keep quiet.


    ¡°Elders, don¡¯t get worked up. No matter what, Zhao Feng is still a genius for making it up to here. Our key point is figuring out how to help him back onto the path of righteousness instead of deciding how to punish him.¡±


    The Broken Moon Clan Masters¡¯ eyebrows were tightened together as she said to the Elders. Being a woman, she was somewhat overkind and she hadn¡¯t seen such a weird trial all these years.


    ¡°The Clan Master¡¯s words have reasoning to them, but we¡¯ll first wait for that kid to come out first.¡±


    Granny Liuyue¡¯s expression calmed down a bit.


    Even those at the True Spirit Realm couldn¡¯t forcefully go inside the Floating Crest Palace, so no matter how urgent these Elders¡¯ were, they could only wait.


    The Clan Master and First Elder were both expectant of which result would be obtained by the most wicked and twisted disciple of all time.

 190 Zhao Feng exiting 1

    Sky Boundary Island.


    Zhao Feng was the only one left in the entire trial. There was no one else who had reached this step in the past thousand years.


    After inspecting the vine ocean for a long time, Zhao Feng confirmed that Bei Moi had been forced out. He sighed in his heart. Bei Moi was an opponent who had great fortune and power, but he had exited due to this.


    The culprit had his eyeballs spinning around smugly with cunningness in its eyes.


    ¡°Ok, now be obedient.¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced at the little thieving cat. He could already imagine Bei Moi telling on him to the Elders.


    Bei Moi might be arrogant and emotionless, but would he easily let go after being tricked to such a degree?


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving nodded its head, meaning that it won¡¯t cause trouble anymore. It then yawned while sitting on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder.


    A few hours later.


    Zhao Feng returned to the treasury of the castle.


    ¡°There¡¯s less than ten days time left.¡±


    Zhao Feng surveyed the entire treasury.


    In reality, there were still many places in the Sky Boundary Island that contained treasure and fortune, like the garden Bei Moi went to and the tall tower Yang Gan went to.


    But Zhao Feng still chose this place.


    1. The items here were all precious.


    2. The risk was low with guaranteed results.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s black eyes sparkled as it ran around the treasury.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng confirmed his new target. It was a weird, normal looking piece of jade, but his left eye could sense a power within the jade which made him feel very comfortable.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved it¡¯s paws towards an old coin and signalled for Zhao Feng to help.


    Zhao Feng snickered - that old coin seemed like a pure antique. Although its materials seemed special, it had no other attributes.


    Miao miao!


    The little cat was slightly frustrated as it waved at the coin again, symbolising its importance.


    ¡°Stop causing trouble for me.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother listening to it and he started to attack the array holding the jade inside with his Lightning Wind Palm.


    The little thieving cat was disappointed, angry but helpless. Its owner obviously wasn¡¯t going to listen to him.


    Miao miao!


    The little cat jumped in front of the array with the coin inside.


    Pah! Pah! ¡­.


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and started to attack the array continuously.


    Therefore, one cat and one human attacked their respective targets respectively.


    If the two worked together, it would be more efficient, but the two didn¡¯t have any signs of collaborating. In the blink of an eye, six to seven days had passed.


    Craaaaack!


    Zhao Feng revealed a victorious smile as he destroyed the array.


    The little thieving cat nearby had only broken through 60% of its array. But even then, Zhao Feng was surprised.


    One needed to have damage exceeding the 4th Sky or else the recovery of the arrays would exceed the damage. Zhao Feng inspected the jade in his hand. It didn¡¯t seem special, but when he put his hand on top, a peaceful aura spread out through his body, like he was taking a shower.


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng¡¯s tiredness as well as his injuries started to recover.


    ¡°This jade has the power to heal!¡± Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    The little thieving cat nearby however, revealed disdain.


    There was only two to three days left till the next round of pursuit began.


    Zhao Feng sighed and he decided to help the cat. The latter¡¯s history was mysterious and it seemed to have a vast amount of knowledge. The items it wanted might not be simple.


    Peng! Pa! Peng¡­


    The one cat and one human attacked the array holding the ancient coin.


    Two days later.


    With a ¡®crack¡¯, the array broke.


    Move it!


    Zhao Feng flashed out and grabbed towards the coin.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat was even faster than him and scuttled forwards, even though there was the risk of it being injured by Zhao Feng. Although this was expected by Zhao Feng, he didn¡¯t do anything because he was scared of injuring the little cat.


    The little thieving cat glanced cautiously at Zhao Feng, but it still didn¡¯t feel safe and gulped the coin into its stomach.


    Zhao Feng gave the white eye - the little thieving cat wasn¡¯t a normal miser.


    He was just curious as to what the coin was for. He had inspected it with his left eye and apart from being made out of a special material, there was nothing special about it.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t spend too much time on these problems because he needed to prepare for the next round. Zhao Feng calculated that there would be three or four black metal monsters next with their speed at least at the 5th Sky.


    How should he face this?


    Normal Yao Beast Kings were useless. The black metal monsters were just restricted by speed, they were probably even more powerful than the Yao Beast Kings in terms of offense and defense.


    There was almost no existences that could face four black metal monsters at once.


    ¡°There seems to be only the ¡®Vine King¡¯ and ¡®Mountain Monster¡¯ that are able to take care of them.¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    Three to four black metal monsters were just too terrifying. Apart from the few forbidden beings in the Sky Boundary Island, there was nothing that could stop them.


    Zhao Feng first went to the Vine Ocean and inspected it again. Although the Vine Ocean seemed calm, Zhao Feng felt a slight threat from it.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat shook his head, signalling Zhao Feng to not try.


    ¡°I¡¯ll believe you for once.¡±


    Zhao Feng turned around and left with the cat. The instant the two did so, chaotic waves began to appear on the ocean. The low rumbling and whistling were terrifying.


    A few hours later.


    Zhao Feng arrived in front of a mountain.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat went into thought as it glanced at the mountain in front of them. Zhao Feng was slightly impressed by the cat¡¯s knowledge.


    He was suspicious as to whether or not the cat was a new lifeform.


    1. Cat¡¯s were mammals, and no mammals hatched from eggs.


    2. Even if the cat was just born, there was no way it could have such knowledge.


    Time flew by quickly.


    The third round of the pursuit was about to begin.


    Suddenly, four familiar pressures appeared from around him.


    Weng! Weng! Weng! Weng¡­


    Four glowing doors appeared from which one enormous figure stepped out from each.


    Instantly, four True Spirit Realm auras charged forwards. It was enough to force a normal cultivator at the Ascended Realm to cough up blood.


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power to the max and also got his Yin Shadow Cloak ready.


    The four black metal monsters all had the speed comparable to the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm as they lept towards Zhao Feng and attacked him. The combined power of four existences at the True Spirit Realm was enough to destroy a small mountain.


    Qiu-----


    Zhao Feng¡¯s transparent figure lept into the air.


    In an instant, his True Force as well as bloodline power exploded. Using the Yin Shadow Cloak¡¯s power, his speed even surpassed the 6th Sky,


    Although it was just for an instant, the price paid was heavy - one-fifth of his bloodline power had been used.


    Below him, the mountain shook and dust covered everything in a mile¡¯s radius.


    It was hard to imagine how powerful the attacks of the four at the True Spirit Realm were, to be able to destroy a small mountain.


    The plan worked.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart loosened, he was using the combined attack of the four monsters to move the Mountain Monster below.


    In this time, he sped upwards with all his speed and took his Luohou Bow out.


    Sou Sou Sou----


    Eight arrows pierced through the air with two exploding on each respective monster. Although it couldn¡¯t seal them, it could slow them down slightly.


    At this time, Zhao Feng was a hundred metres up in the air as he glanced at the area enveloped in dust below.


    Wu~~~


    A deep growl sounded from the mountains.


    That sound was like a bell - it shook the heavens and cracked the ground. There was even a few strikes of lightning that flashed through the sky.


    ¡°Oh my God!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart trembled. What kind of power was this? Just the sound from its awakening caused the heavens to shake.


    Next came an even more terrifying scene.


    The dust enveloping a few miles was pulled down by an unknown force.


    In the blink of an eye, the dust faded.


    What kind of skill was this? Just one thought to make the dust within several miles fall down to the ground.


    Hong Long Long------


    The mountain below shook like something was awakening. This was probably the ¡®Mountain Monster¡¯ that Zhao Feng thought about.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The four black metal monsters fell onto the ground and they moved no more.


    ¡°What!!? Even those at the True Spirit Realm couldn¡¯t do anything.¡±


    Zhao Feng took in a cold breath.


    Craaack! Craaaaack¡­


    The bodies of the four black metal monsters shattered.


    Zhao Feng maxed out all his power and continued to soar through the sky.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat climbed into the interspatial bracelet.


    Booom!


    A terrifying pulling force engulfed Zhao Feng.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng immediately coughed out blood and he felt like his body was about to explode.


    He could imagine his ending would be the same as the black metal monsters. Although he was extremely far away from the Mountain Monster and only 10% of the power remained, there was nothing he couldn¡¯t do.


    In this desperate situation, Zhao Feng circulated everything in his body to the max. True Force, bloodline power and the azure light in his head. However, under absolute strength, nothing could stop it.


    Suddenly.


    Zhao Feng seemed to gain some enlightenment.


    No matter how smart or crafty one was, its uses were limited before absolute power.


    Weng!


    The Floating Crest Token inside him suddenly moved and a transparent green glow engulfed Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    The last participant disappeared from the Sky Boundary Island.


    The mountain before had now formed into a monster hundred of yards high.


    ¡°Such pure ancient bloodline¡­ And that cat, its¡­ ¡±


    The golden eyes in the mountain monster flashed.


    A while later.


    It sighed deeply, causing the clouds to shake and merged into the ground once more.


    Zhao Feng appeared in a flashing white dimension. Focusing his eyes, he realised that this place was formed by special white primal crystals.


    Shua Shua!


    The Floating Crest Token as well as the FLoating Crest Lightning Seal appeared and proceeded to float to the top of his head.


    ¡°Points for passing the stages: 720


    Performance points: 1350.


    Floating Crest Lightning Seal gives you an extra 500 points.


    Final score: 2570.


    Participant, your score has exceeded 1000 and you will receive the highest treatment from the Floating Crest Palace.¡±


    A voice sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.

 191 Zhao Feng exiting 2

    ¡°..... Final score: 2570.


    Participant, your score has exceeded 1000 and you will receive the highest treatment from the Floating Crest Palace.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood in the white crystal hall, pale faced and he wiped the blood off his lips.


    Before he had died, the scene of the Mountain Monster had shocked him. Before that power, even those at the True Spirit Realm were ants.


    Hmmm?


    A white glow of light enveloped Zhao Feng and it sent a wave of warmness throughout his body that healed his injuries. This wave of warmness was similar to the jade that Zhao Feng had obtained from the treasury and had the properties of healing.


    ¡°2570 seems to be very high. I also get to receive the highest treatment?¡±


    Zhao Feng recovered from his daze and he began to think about what the sound has just said. He was the last person that exited the trial, meaning that he was definitely first. But it was also because of this reason that he couldn¡¯t compare with the previous participants.


    ¡°Usually, only one person in a thousand years would break the thousand point mark. As for your score, it had beaten the highest score recorded in the Floating Crest Palace in the past ten thousand years.¡±


    The figure of a tall, powerful man appeared from nowhere. The figure was created by white lights and although it wasn¡¯t real, it had a certain amount of intelligence.


    Zhao Feng looked closely and he realised that the features of this person was slightly familiar.


    He suddenly remembered the youth named ¡®Li Ji¡¯ in the canyon illusion.


    ¡°You¡¯re Li Ji?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but blurt out. The two were just so alike - the only difference being the man was more mature.


    ¡°Hehe, I am ¡®Li Fuji¡¯. The figure you see right now is only a thought from the true me.¡± The man explained.


    Zhao Feng clucked his tongue - the man wasn¡¯t a true life form, but he had intelligence.


    Miao miao!


    At this time, the little thieving cat climbed out of the interspatial ring and it curiously inspected the man while sitting on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder.


    When the man saw the little thieving cat, stun flashed through his eyes but he didn¡¯t ask anything.


    ¡°Participant, your score has exceeded 1000 and can receive the following treatment.


    1. Use your points and exchange them for skills, weapons and other items.


    2. Ask me to do anything within my capabilities. Of course, it will cost you a corresponding amount of points.


    3. Give you a simple inheritance for free.¡±


    The glowing man said.


    Three treatments in total?


    Zhao Feng fell into deep thought.


    According to what he knew of the Floating Crest Trial, normal participants only received the first treatment. As for the record, he had never heard of this but for the third, he had remembered First Elder talking about it - there were chances of inheritances in the trial.


    ¡°My biggest advantage is the second treatment - to wish for anything.¡±


    ZHao Feng thought about it, but first he had to understand how to exchange his points.


    Information began to appear from his Floating Crest Token.


    First was how Zhao Feng had gotten his points.


    20 for passing the first stage. 30 for passing the second stage.


    As for the third stage, it was calculated by time when the pursuit started.


    The first to tenth day of the pursuit gave 10 points for every day.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng received 100 for the first round of the pursuit.


    This was only completed by Zhao Feng, Bei Moi and Yang Gan.


    The second ten days of the pursuit gave 20 for each day, giving Zhao Feng another 200.


    Only Zhao Feng and Bei Moi were able to complete this with the former being the only person to survive the third round of pursuit.


    Zhao Feng was only able to survive one day of the fourth round before being killed by the ¡®Mountain Monster¡¯.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng¡¯s stage-passing score was: 720.


    ¡°My performance score is too much - 1350!¡±


    Zhao Feng looked at it in more detail. Every black metal monster killed gave him 100 and because Zhao Feng killed 8, there was 800 points.


    ¡°Bei Moi didn¡¯t even kill one monster. This means there¡¯s at least 800 points between us and adding on the fact that he lasted shorter than me, there¡¯s a gap of at least a thousand.¡±


    A smile formed on Zhao Feng lips.


    This meant that even the second best participant had at least a thousand points difference with him. Zhao Feng then started to search for information regarding the items that could be exchanged.


    ¡°Peak class Mortal skill - 80 points for one.


    Peak grade Mortal weapons - 100 for one.


    Low class Spiritual skills - 400 for one.


    Low grade Spiritual weapon - 500 for one¡­ ¡±


    The items Zhao Feng looked at were all top tier. The highest skills and weapons one could exchange for in the Floating Crest Trial were Middle class Spiritual skills or Middle grade Spiritual weapons, which needed 1500 and 2000 points respectively.


    Zhao Feng obviously wouldn¡¯t exchange his points for those items. After thinking for a bit, Zhao Feng made his decision: ¡°I¡¯ll have the simple inheritance first.¡±


    This was the third treatment which other participants excluding Bei Moi probably didn¡¯t have.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    As soon as the man said this, a transparent white glow of light flowed into Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    It was a mysterious aura that didn¡¯t have any malicious intent to it. On the contrary, it was warm and peaceful. The light flowed through his blood, bones and even mental energy, but when it came to the azure light within his left eye, the light faded away.


    ¡°Unfortunately, I am unable to create a perfect inheritance for you. The path that suits you is ¡®mental energy¡¯, which is the ¡®soul¡¯. For example, mental illusions, predictors or even corpse-summoner could be your forte.¡±


    ¡°Why can¡¯t it be created?¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly frustrated - Li Fuji¡¯s suggestion was the same as First Elders.


    ¡°The Floating Crest Palace is a ¡®Righteous ground of Inheritance¡¯. Not many practice using ¡®mental energy¡¯ and it¡¯s considered slightly ¡®wicked¡¯. Furthermore, your bloodline makes it even harder to create one specifically for you. Of course, because you obtained the Floating Crest Lightning Seal and have some Lightning skills as foundation, I can give the best inheritance of the Floating Crest Palace, the ¡®Lightning Inheritance¡¯, to you.¡± The glowing man said.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. At least he was able to get the best inheritance of the Floating Crest Palace.


    Booom!


    A large amount of energy flowed into Zhao Feng¡¯s mind and lit up the entire hall.


    A while later.


    A tower with three floors appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    The scene in the first floor was similar to the Floating Crest Lightning Seal. It contained enlightenment and ways to use Lightning.


    As for the second and third floor of the tower, it was grey and Zhao Feng was unable to enter.


    ¡°The Lightning Inheritance has been sealed in your mind. At the Ascended Realm, you can only comprehend the first floor. The second floor requires you to be at the True Spirit Realm and the third floor requires you to be at least at the ¡®True Lord rank¡¯, the third Heaven of the True Spirit Realm. If you¡¯re able to fully comprehend the Lightning Inheritance, it¡¯s not impossible for you to stand at the top of this continent.¡± The glowing man said.


    ¡°This Lightning Inheritance is indeed strong. The True Spirit Realm is split into three ranks: the True Human rank, True Mystic rank and the True Lord rank. The Elders of the Broken Moon Clan probably haven¡¯t even reached the second rank of the True Spirit Realm yet.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    The Lightning Inheritance included how to use Lightning, offense, movement and secret techniques. This Inheritance meant all the paths of Lightning, but Zhao Feng could only learn the corners of it from the 1st floor. If he could fully comprehend the 1st floor however, normal cultivators at the True Human rank probably wouldn¡¯t even be his match.


    After the inheritance finished, Zhao Feng targeted the second treatment where Li Fuji would grant him wishes within his capabilities.


    ¡°My first wish is to understand the cat¡¯s history and sign a pet pact with it.¡± Zhao Feng said.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s history was mysterious and there was no bond between the two. After the trial finished, the cat could run away anytime it wanted.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulders, expressing its dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Sorry, even I don¡¯t know the cats history, but I know it¡¯s bloodline is very unique. As for whether or not the blood pact will work, it depends on how much the cat resists as well as your bloodline strength.¡±


    The glowing man glanced at the little thieving cat and shook its head.


    ¡°Tell me how to create the pact and help me succeed.¡±


    Zhao Feng was willing to try.


    The glowing man nodded his head: ¡°This will cost you 200 points.¡±


    After that, he told Zhao Feng how to create a pet blood pact.


    The glowing man stood in the middle with Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat on either side.


    According to the requirements, both parties needed to draw out a few drops of blood. After that was done, the glowing man swiped his hand and the blood formed a weird picture in mid air.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s mouth twitched slightly and it didn¡¯t fight back. Maybe it knew even if it fought back, nothing could be done.


    The blood picture formed between Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat and as the man waved his hands, a mysterious wave flowed from the picture into Zhao Feng¡¯s body and the cats¡¯ body.


    Soon, Zhao Feng could feel the little thieving cat.


    ¡°It succeeded.¡±


    Li Fuji was slightly surprised and he looked at the little thieving cat with a deep glance. He didn¡¯t think that it would go well for Zhao Feng.


    The blood pact meant that the little thieving cat would officially become Zhao Feng¡¯s pet and become restricted. Zhao Feng was also surprised that the cat didn¡¯t fight back. Instead, it had a knowing smile on it¡¯s face.


    ¡°My second wish is to learn the history of the Yin Shadow Cloak and know whether or not it can be fixed and if so, how.¡±


    Zhao Feng soon came up with his second wish.


    ¡°This is an ancient treasure which can increase one¡¯s speed and hide one¡¯s aura. It is an ¡®Inheritance treasure¡¯ and its potential has yet to be fully unlocked. For you, its value is ten times greater than a Spiritual grade weapon.¡± Li Fuji smiled as he explained.


    Zhao Feng was very pleased with the answer.


    Inheritance treasures could be used by those at the Ascended Realm and True Spirit Realm. They were items that could grow as the user got stronger - obviously not something a Spiritual weapon could compare to. Depending on the user¡¯s strength, the cloak''s power would be the differentiate.

 192 A bunch of retards

    According to what Zhao Feng knew, only Bei Moi had good luck and he had received an ¡®Inheritance treasure¡¯, the gold/green shirt.


    ¡°Inheritance treasures don¡¯t require high cultivation, but the word ¡®inheritance¡¯ means that only a small number of people are able to use it.¡± Li Fuji added.


    Zhao Feng understood what he meant. For example, the Yin Shadow Cloak required his bloodline power. If he didn¡¯t have bloodline power, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to open it.


    Without reaching the certain requirements, even those at the True Spirit Realm wouldn¡¯t have much uses for Inheritance treasures.


    After that, Li Fuji told Zhao Feng how to repair the Yin Shadow Cloak.


    ¡°To fix this cloak, you need a Grandmaster Blacksmith and the blacksmith needs to be at least at the True Spirit Realm. There¡¯s also a few vital resources which are almost now extinct in this continent. I can give most of them to you, but the points needed are higher than usual.¡± Li Fuji said.


    ¡°How much?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Answering your question cost 200, and the resources cost 500, coming to a total of 700.¡± The glowing man answered.


    ¡°Ok, exchange!¡± Zhao Feng agreed without any hesitation.


    Inheritance treasures, especially those with the ability of invisibility, were worth far more to him than a Spiritual weapon. One had to know a normal Spiritual grade weapon only cost 500, but it had no use for Zhao Feng apart from giving it to the Clan and receiving some other items in return.


    ¡°You still have 1670.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll exchange them for a Low grade Spiritual weapon, 2 Spiritual class skills, 4 peak Mortal class skills, 8 High class Mortal skills¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly called out a range of items.


    Most of them were skills and the one Spiritual grade weapon was to attract all the attention.


    These skills all contained a specific scenery inside them, which enlightenment could be obtained from.


    Zhao Feng opened his left eye and he copied all the skills into the dimension of his left eye. Therefore, he wouldn¡¯t feel sad when he gave all the skills to the Clan.


    Broken Moon Clan.


    Forty-eight days had passed since the trial began and most of the participants had exited within a month. Ever since Bei Moi beat the thousand year record, everything had calmed down. Five people at the True Spirit Realm sat outside the Floating Crest Palace.


    Over the past couple days, a storm had brewed within the Clan. The participants this generation had all increased significantly in strength. The biggest change of all was the position of Core disciples. Over the last few days, the Core disciples¡¯ ranking had changed dramatically.


    Firstly, Yang Gan had broken through to the 6th Sky and he took the title of Head disciple.


    The original Head disciple had exceeded the age limit of 30 and he wasn¡¯t a disciple anymore. After all, the Clan wouldn¡¯t continuously raise the younger generation. After they reached a certain age, they would carry out tasks for the Clan.


    However, Yang Gan didn¡¯t wait till the original Head disciple left. He had beaten the latter, who was at the 6th Sky, in a fight.


    Apart from Yang Gan, Bei Moi, Quan Chen, Ran Xiaoyuan and co. had all performed well.


    This was especially so for Bei Moi. Apparently, he had received a mysterious inheritance in the trial and when he came out, his cultivation was at the peak 4th Sky.


    Three days ago.


    Bei Moi had defeated Chen Xingrui, who was originally ranked 2nd! In this fight, Bei Moi showed his dominance and beat the Core disciple at the 5th Sky. Apart from that, Quan Chen and Ran Xiaoyuan had both became the 5th and 6th Core disciples respectively.


    Even Lin Fan and Liu Yue¡¯er had both reached the peak 3rd Sky and they had the ability to challenge Core disciples. But right now, they were waiting for the right moment.


    Although the positions of Core disciples would always change slightly after the trial, it was still rare to see so many places of the Core disciples change.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng, the insane person who came first place and trained the ¡®Lightning Wind Palm¡¯, still hadn¡¯t exited yet.


    It could be imagined that the ten positions of the Core disciples would change even more in the coming month. The entire thing fell into the eyes of the high authority of the Clan.


    The Elders and Clan Master were all happy that the competition within the inner disciples was so fierce. This would propel the entire younger generation.


    Entrance of the Floating Crest Palace.


    The Clan Master and Elders could see the fights between the disciples at the Central Division below.


    ¡°The Floating Crest Trial this time might push the Broken Moon Clan to an entire new level.¡± A colorful light flashed in the Clan Masters¡¯ eyes.


    The Elders all nodded their heads and they held high expectations in for their disciples.


    ¡°Over the past thousand years, my Broken Moon Clan has always been last place or second-to-last in the Thirteen Clan Alliance Event. The Alliance competition will start in half a year''s time and I hope that these disciples will show their skills on that bigger stage.¡± The Broken Moon Clan Master might be a woman but her words were full of battle intent.


    ¡°Geniuses are indeed like clouds in the Alliance Event. This is the chance to increase their knowledge, but before that, the ¡®Three Clan Party¡¯ with the Silver Moon Clan and Ling Moon CLan is approaching.¡± First Elder smiled faintly.


    After mentioning the ¡®Three Clan Party¡¯, the expression of the other Elder¡¯s changed slightly. It was obvious that they put some importance to it.


    The Three Clan Party was between the Ling Moon Clan, Silver Moon Clan and Broken Moon Clan.


    If one was careful, they could tell that all three of these Clan¡¯s had ¡®moon¡¯ in their names. A long, long, long time ago these three Clans belonged to the same Sect but due to different reasons, the Sect split into three Clans which were the Ling Moon Clan, Silver Moon Clan and Broken Moon Clan respectively.


    Up to now, the three Clan¡¯s still remained in touch and they were neighbours with each other. Many times, they had fought an alliance together to face stronger enemies. Of course, while they were in the same alliance, the three Clans still had competition amongst them.


    Every five years, there would be a ¡®Three Clan Party¡¯ and this was when they would fight.


    ¡°The Ling Moon Clan sent out the invitation half a month ago saying that the Three Clan Party will be hold one month from now. This time, we will give them a surprise.¡± The Clan Master said confidently.


    When the Three Clan Party was mentioned, both the Clan Master and First Elder would have furrowed eyebrows. This was because the other two Clans were ranked 4th and 7th in the 13 Clan¡¯s respectively, meaning that they were more powerful than the Broken Moon Clan by not just a bit.


    The Broken Moon Clan would come last every time and the Clan Master and Elder¡¯s would feel ashamed and depressed.


    ¡°I hope that this time, we will turn the losses around or else I won¡¯t have the face to meet those old bastards.¡± The Elders exchanged glances and smiled.


    Just as the Elders were dreaming.


    Weng!


    A light flashed at the entrance of the Floating Crest Palace.


    An azure haired youth appeared.


    ¡°I¡¯m finally out.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath with a pale face. He had copied all the skills, spending a vast amount of energy.


    The sudden appearance of the figure made the five at the True Spirit Realm come back from their daze.


    When the light faded away.


    Zhao Feng found the five pairs of eyes were staring at him.


    ¡°Wicked youngest, you¡¯ve finally exited! Kneel and confess your sins!¡± Elder Xue released the anger pent up in his heart.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, do you know your wrongs!?¡± Hai Yun Master exclaimed with coldness in his eyes.


    Granny Liuyue also had her eyebrows furrowed and she didn¡¯t have a good impression of Zhao Feng as well.


    The True Spirit Realm aura¡¯s made Zhao Feng hard to breath.


    Right at this moment.


    Boom¡­


    The Floating Crest Palace suddenly shook and the lightning surrounding it faded by over half. A powerful arc of lightning then swept everyone away.


    ¡°The Floating Crest Palace has closed.¡± First Elder exclaimed as he grabbed Zhao Feng and landed on the Central Division below.


    Qiu Qiu Qiu---


    The Clan Master and other Elders all landed on the ground. The movement of the Floating Crest Palace attracted the attention of many members of the Clan.


    ¡°Has that guy came out?¡±


    ¡°Hmph! Brat named Zhao, wait to face the fury of everyone!¡±


    Yang Gan, Bei Moi, Quan Chen and co. all had different reactions.


    Inside a dim hall within the Clan.


    ¡°The trial has ended. That brat won¡¯t be able to escape the Clan¡¯s punishment.¡±


    A cold voice sounded in the hall.


    In a short amount of time, the entire Clan had been disturbed.


    Many figures went towards the Central Division.


    Quan Chen, Lu Hu, Sun Yuanhao and co. were all calling to punish Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! You wicked bastard! You tricked me and stole my spoils of war¡­ ¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s face was extremely dim and it seemed like the former wanted to tear Zhao Feng into pieces.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how dare you kick me into the abyss in the trial? My Master is the Regulations Elder, he won¡¯t forgive you!¡± Lu Hu howled.


    If it wasn¡¯t because there were Elders¡¯ present, he probably would have already charged up and fought with Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Wuwu¡­ Brother Zhao! I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re that type of person! One only has one chance to enter the Floating Crest Trial in their lifetime. If you didn¡¯t kick me into the abys,s maybe I¡¯ll be the same as Brother Bei and receive some kind of Inheritance.¡± Sun Yuanhao¡¯s baby face was full of pureness.


    ¡°Hmph! I can¡¯t believe there¡¯s such people in our Clan!¡±


    A few of the girl disciples couldn¡¯t help but sympathise.


    Miao miao!


    A little grey cat the size of a palm jumped onto Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and it looked at the crowd with its black gem eyes.


    What a cute cat!


    The eyes of some girl disciples lit up.


    ¡°It was that cat that tricked me!¡± Bei Moi instantly became angry as he saw the little thieving cat.


    At this point in time, everything was in chaos as the crowd all called for Zhao Feng to be punished.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows scrunched together - these people were all cursing him.


    Being the top participant of the trial, would he just stand there?


    ¡°A bunch of retards!¡± ZHao Feng coldly exclaimed as loud as thunder.


    What!?


    The expressions of the disciples fell into a daze. They would never have thought that this person would be so arrogant in public.


    ¡°Don¡¯t use any excuses to cover your uselessness. If you had the strength, first place wouldn¡¯t have been me.¡± Zhao Feng said arrogantly as he surveyed the crowd with sharp eyes.


    He thought coldly in his heart: ¡°From the ancient times till now, only the victorious wrote history.


    Who came first?


    Me!


    Not you clowns!


    ¡°You you¡­ ¡±


    The disciples were all instantly speechless.

 193 First Elders’ Position

    When one should be high-key, then go high-key.


    How could Zhao Feng be accused of all these problems the second he came out?


    In this situation, every and any explanation was useless. One needed to establish their dominance to the crowd.


    Zhao Feng had succeeded in doing this by using an arrogant and superior manner! And these people had nothing to say.


    The strongest came first.


    Zhao Feng had taken this title and he had the rights to say so.


    ¡®The victorious writes the history¡¯, who¡¯s ever heard of the loser writing it?


    The Clan Master and Elders¡¯ glanced at each other - they didn¡¯t think that he would still be so arrogant in the public.


    But remembering the fact that this brat had come first in the trial and he was because from training the Lightning Wind Palm, his actions weren¡¯t that unusual.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how dare you be so arrogant!?¡±


    Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master¡¯s expressions were dim and their aura swept through the air.


    They only needed one thought to kill this disciple. But they didn¡¯t dare.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng was first in the trial. Secondly, behind Zhao Feng was First Elder.


    They released their aura to try and down the flames of Zhao Feng¡¯s arrogance. However, the result disappointed them.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s azure hair blew in the wind and his eye was still sharp and unmoving. Throughout the trial, Zhao Feng had withstood the True Spirit Realm aura many times.


    The most terrifying Mountain Monster, who had slain four black metal monsters in one thought, had an aura that was far stronger than the two Elders before him.


    Inside Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, the azure light spun, sending his bloodline power across his whole body to decrease the aura¡¯s pressure.


    Miao miao!


    Not only was Zhao Feng unaffected, even the little thieving cat was laughing mockingly towards Hai Yun Master and Elder Xue.


    ¡°Hmm? That cat¡¯s not simple! Could it be the cat that tricked Bei Moi?¡±


    Hai Yun Masters¡¯ eyes lit up.


    Being at the True Spirit Realm, how could he not see that the little thieving cat¡¯s intelligence was something that a normal beast couldn''t compare to?


    Furthermore, the cat could ignore the pressure brought by existences at the True Spirit Realm, meaning that either it had high talent itself, or it had a powerful bloodline.


    For example, the legendary beasts such as the Dragon and Roc could pressure normal beasts, even if it had lower cultivation.


    Thinking up to here, Hai Yun Master¡¯s eyes became urgent.


    ¡°Everyone, remain calm! Zhao Feng is, after all, the winner of this trial. The Clan will give a satisfactory answer.¡±


    The Clan Master¡¯s cold voice was full of strictness.


    The Elders all agreed. The most important thing right now was to see how much rewards Zhao Feng had received.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng had remained in the trial longer than Bei Moi, who had beaten the thousand year record, by ten days.


    The disciples who were asking to punish Zhao Feng such as Quan Chen, Bei Moi and co. all became silent. No matter what they said, Zhao Feng still had come first.


    The Clan Master was leading Zhao Feng towards the Central Division.


    From the looks of it, what Zhao Feng had done in the trial was very likely to be dismissed by the higher-ups of the Clan.


    Quan Chen, Lu Hu and co. all had unwilling looks on their face.


    Right at this moment, a powerful True Spirit Realm aura appeared.


    ¡°Youngster Zhao Feng, don¡¯t be arrogant! Every country has their own laws and our Clan is like so! With Elder, I, here, no matter how big your contribution, you¡¯ll still be punished.¡±


    A thunderous, old voice sounded which made the footsteps of the Elders¡¯ halt.


    Before the words finished, an old man wearing a green shirt, holding a staff appeared in the air.


    ¡°Regulations Elder!¡±


    A few of the disciples exclaimed and they bowed down in respect.


    The Regulations Elder held a unique position within the Clan. He had the authority to kill and controlled the laws of the Clan.


    Even if the Clan Master had broken the Clan laws, the Regulations Elder had the right to stand up and question her. Furthermore, the Regulations Elder had a Spiritual grade weapon, which gave him greater strength than other normal Elders.


    ¡°Great! Master¡¯s here now. Even the Clan Master can¡¯t stop him!¡±


    Extreme joy appeared on Lu Hu¡¯s face. Quan Chen and co.¡¯s dim expressions all turned to gloating.


    Seeing the Regulations Elder, worry appeared in the Clan Master¡¯s eyes.


    If the former wanted to punish Zhao Feng, even she couldn¡¯t stop him.


    The Clan Master¡¯s eyes turned towards First Elder with a pleading look. This wasn¡¯t only because First Elder was Zhao Feng¡¯s master, it was also because of his authority.


    ¡°Regulations Elder, why not come down and witness the highest score that the Floating Crest Trial has ever recorded?¡±


    First Elder¡¯s voice was calm and it seemed like an invitation and an order at the same time.


    At this moment, the other Elder¡¯s were all silent.


    ¡°Fine, I shall come.¡±


    The Regulations Elder was obviously wary of First Elder. First Elder had the word ¡®First¡¯ in it, meaning that he was the head of all the Elders.


    Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master looked at each other and they sighed in their hearts: ¡°Is First Elder deciding to protect this disciple?¡±


    Originally, the Regulations Elder wanted to take Zhao Feng down straight away and punish him. However, even if he was the Regulations Elder, he had to give First Elder face.


    Zhao Feng took this scene in his eyes and he couldn¡¯t help but feel lucky that he chose to be First Elder¡¯s disciple, even though it was just an outer disciple.


    First Elder didn¡¯t take many disciples but once he had, he would protect them till the end, even if the disciple was an outer disciple of his.


    First Elder didn¡¯t want to take Zhao Feng as a disciple because he once also had another disciple that trained the Lightning Wind Palm and died from it.


    First Elder might seem cold and uncaring at first, but after obtaining his recognition, the former would wholeheartedly care for his disciples. First Elder led the way and he walked into the Central Division in front of even the Clan Master.


    The latter and Regulations Elder followed closely behind him. The other Elders all exchanged glances, as if considering what First Elder was thinking.


    The First Elder right now was far too dominant. The Regulations Elders¡¯ expression changed to a slightly more solemn one.


    ¡°This is First Elder, my master! Dominant and powerful!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was full of stun.


    The entire atmosphere had been changed by First Elder. He could even feel that the other normal Elders didn¡¯t even dare to breathe heavily.


    Finally.


    Zhao Feng realised that First Elders¡¯ position in the Clan was higher than what he imagined.


    From the surface, it seemed that the Clan Master had the highest authority within the Clan. However, truthfully, she didn''t.


    At this moment, when First Elder walked at the very front, no one questioned him. On the contrary, all of them became careful.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, go in.¡±


    Yang Gan warned Zhao Feng with a slightly complex expression. He didn¡¯t think that his Master would actually protect this outer disciple of his.


    As for why First Elder had such authority, Yang Gan didn¡¯t feel anything off.


    All of this was because of one thing - First Elder was the strongest within the Clan!


    Strength preceded everything.


    It didn¡¯t matter if one was ¡®Righteous¡¯ or ¡®Wicked¡¯, that was the law.


    It was because First Elder had the strongest strength that the other Elders had to back away.


    Yang Gan laughed coldly in his heart: ¡°Master is usually low-key in the Clan. These Elders did what they want but now, they¡¯ve finally realised who¡¯s the true boss!¡±


    Soon, the group of Elders entered the Central Division Hall.


    Vice Head Li¡¯s heart shook. What the heck was going on? Why are all the Elders here and what¡¯s with the atmosphere?


    Inside the hall, apart from the Elders, the other disciples who had participated in the trial had also come inside.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, what was your final score?¡±


    The Clan Master¡¯s eyes were full of anticipation.


    ¡°A thousand and a bit.¡± Zhao Feng casually answered.


    A thousand and a bit?


    The other disciples all drew in cold breaths.


    ¡°His score¡¯s reached one thousand! Even Brother Bei Moi was only at 900 or so.¡±


    ¡°That score¡¯s probably beaten the ten-thousand year record.¡±


    Chaos broke out inside the hall.


    Hehe, looks like Bei Moi only had 900 points.


    Zhao Feng laughed in his heart.


    ¡°A thousand and a bit? How much is a bit?¡±


    First Elder glared at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°1588.¡±


    Zhao Feng purposely gave a far lower score because some points were used to grant his wishes.


    ¡°1500+, that¡¯s beaten the ten-thousand year record!¡±


    First Elder was extremely pleased and his face was flushed red.


    After that, Zhao Feng took out his rewards.


    ¡°Spiritual grade weapon!¡±


    The first item was a Spiritual grade sword, which made the eyes of all the Elders light up. Zhao Feng then took out two Spiritual class skills, one more than Bei Moi.


    Spiritual class skills were treated like heirlooms in the Clan. Two at the same time was a great surprise.


    Apart from that, there were four peak grade Mortal skills, which were usually only given to Elders and Vice Heads to train.


    Zhao Feng was extremely generous and he gave everything to the Clan.


    There were also a bunch of resources with high value. If Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need it, he also gave them to the Clan. Truthfully, the most precious skills had all been copied into Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    ¡°Your cat doesn¡¯t seem simple.¡±


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s eyes spun.


    Mia miao!


    The little thieving cat laughed at Hai Yun Master with disdain and mockery.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ ¡±


    Seeing Hai Yun Master being looked down on by a cat, the other Elders all started laughing.


    Hai Yun Master didn¡¯t get angry and he stared at Zhao Feng: ¡°How much spirit stones do you want for this cat? I can also give other items.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not for sale! The little thieving cat¡¯s already signed a blood pact with me.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head without hesitation.


    At the same time, he clucked his tongue - Hai Yun Master¡¯s eyes were indeed special.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, did you receive any inheritances in the trial for breaking the ten-thousand year record?¡± First Elder¡¯s face was full of urgency.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng felt a warmth inside his heart. The other Elder¡¯s all wanted to know how much profit the Clan could get and not him.


    As for inheritances, this was the most useful thing for cultivators. Other items were, after all, items.


    After this question was asked, the other Elders and disciples were all curious.


    This was especially so for Bei Moi because he was the only one who had received an inheritance.


    ¡°None.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s simple answer surprised everyone in the hall.

 194 Zhao Feng confessing his sins

    None?


    From the Clan Master to the disciples, all of them had suspicious and surprised expressions.


    The person that came first in the trial, the one that had broken the ten-thousand year record hadn¡¯t received an Inheritance?


    Even Bei Moi, who had come second and didn¡¯t even get a thousand points, had received an Inheritance, so why not him?


    ¡°It depends on one¡¯s luck to receive an Inheritance.¡±


    Faint disappointment was shown on the Clan Master¡¯s face.


    Zhao Feng was a prodigy for breaking the ten-thousand year record and he must have his own means of doing so. If he had received an Inheritance, it could let him catch up to others due to the difference in talent and help him become a genius of the Broken Moon Clan.


    Unfortunately, Zhao Feng might¡¯ve broken the ten-thousand year record, but he didn¡¯t get the thing most important for him.


    At the same time.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s answer made many people secretly let out a breath.


    ¡°WIthout an Inheritance, so what if you came first in the trial? You¡¯re destined to be crushed by me.¡±


    A confident smile appeared on Bei Moi¡¯s lips.


    Zhao Feng talent was only average. If the latter had received an Inheritance, he might be able to threaten him. But unfortunately, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t.


    ¡°Luckily¡­ ¡± Hai Yun Master let out a breath.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s talent wasn¡¯t high, but the potential and means he had shown so far were terrifying. If he received an Inheritance, the threat he brought on was too great.


    Luckily, this brat didn¡¯t receive an Inheritance - Bei Moi alone could beat him.


    Even Sun Yuanhao had disdain in his eyes: ¡°If there¡¯s no Inheritance, with your Low tier Spiritual body, you will eventually be overtaken by me. One day, I will defeat you straight on and repay the shame!¡±


    At this point in time, everyone looked lightly on towards Zhao Feng. At least in Hai Yun Master and co.¡¯s eyes, Zhao Feng could only be arrogant for a while, but his future was limited.


    Zhao Feng, who saw the entire scene, laughed coldly in his heart.


    This was the result he wanted.


    When one should be high-key, then go high-key. When one should lie low, then do so.


    He was catching too much attention for breaking the ten-thousand year record. This had caused many of his enemies to feel threatened.


    For Zhao Feng who was still growing, this wasn¡¯t a good thing.


    In this continent, there were many, many geniuses, but how many were left now The potential they possessed was far too high and many died to assassination.


    Even a prodigy with a ¡®Sky tier Spiritual body¡¯ could be killed by any random person.


    If Hai Yun Master and co. found out that he had received the best inheritance, the ¡®Lightning Inheritance¡¯, they would definitely try and kill Zhao Feng before the latter fully matured.


    Therefore.


    Zhao Feng concealed the truth.


    A disciple with average talent and no inheritance had no threat. The disciples who were the same age as Zhao Feng, also felt superior to him.


    However, although the latter¡¯s words could trick the disciples, the Elder¡¯s weren¡¯t easily fooled.


    Both Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    How could someone, who broke the ten-thousand year record, not receive an inheritance? This was just too suspicious or was there something else going on?


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I remember that once one reaches a certain score, the trial will give a simple, free inheritance.¡± Elder Xue asked with uncertainty.


    After all, there weren¡¯t many who reached that mark and this was all heard from others. Hai Yun Master felt something was off but he didn¡¯t know what.


    ¡°My score easily surpassed the requirements.¡± Zhao Feng laughed.


    Hearing this, Bei Moi, Quan Chen and co.¡¯s expression all changed. Was Zhao Feng just fooling with them just then?


    ¡°Unfortunately, the Floating Crest Palace didn¡¯t have any suitable inheritances for me. My talent is mental energy.¡± Zhao Feng said with regret.


    ¡°Mental energy?¡± The Elder¡¯s all glanced at each other.


    At their level, they could easily see that Zhao Feng had a large amount of mental energy, which allowed him to resist auras at the True Spirit Realm. This point was first found out by First Elder.


    ¡°Mental energy is indeed a different path or it belongs to the Wicked. Being of Righteous descent, the Floating Crest Palace wouldn¡¯t have inheritances regarding to this.¡± The Clan Master sighed and believed Zhao Feng¡¯s words.


    All the Elders had heard that Zhao Feng had talent in regards to mental energy and the disciples had all experienced it.


    In the second stage, Zhao Feng had defeated an overwhelming number of bats by using his mental energy sound attack, causing 0 casualties and injuries to the disciples.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, because of your superb performance in the trial as well as the contributions for the Clan, I¡¯ve decided to award you five-hundred thousand points and let you read any skill in the Hollow Building. Furthermore, the Clan will also reward you for the items you gave.¡±


    The Clan Master announced.


    Five-hundred thousand points!


    The others were all shocked.


    Even the high-level of the Clan didn¡¯t seem to have this many points.


    With that many points, what couldn¡¯t he do?


    ¡°Ok, the reward has been given, now comes the punishment. Reward and punishments can¡¯t be mixed together.¡±


    The Regulation Elder slowly stood up.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Zhao Feng has indeed contributed a lot to the Clan, but his actions in the trial needs to be punished.¡± Elder Xue agreed.


    ¡°Although Zhao Feng took first, he had also destroyed the future of others.¡± Hai Yun Master said coldly.


    Two Elders were supporting the Regulations Elder.


    The sudden turn caught the Clan Master off guard. Granny Liuyue was neutral and she helped no one. First Elder¡¯s eyes became sharp and the atmosphere became tense.


    It was obvious that the three had plotted this together. The Regulations Elder would call for punishment and the two Elders would support him, which meant that even First Elder couldn¡¯t rebuke him.


    After all, no one person had the power to control everything.


    ¡°What does the Regulation Elder think?¡±


    First Elder¡¯s expression became calm once more.


    ¡°The Clan is fair. We wouldn¡¯t accuse a good person, and not forgive a bad person. We¡¯ll do this in public, where everyone is watching. I believe no one is against this?¡± The Regulations Elder said.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! I agree.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng is a wicked and cunning youth and he should be expelled from the Clan.¡±


    ¡°The reason he came first was built on the fact that he was selfish and harmed others at the same time. People like him should be punished.¡±


    With Quan Chen and Lu Hu leading, they spouted a lot of crap. Under this situation, even the Clan Master and First Elder could do nothing.


    ¡°If this can be solved fairly, then I¡¯ll have nothing to say.¡± First Elder said.


    ¡°Ok, then we¡¯ll question Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng, do you see any problems?¡±


    The Regulations Elder nodded his head.


    ¡°Nope.¡±


    Zhao Feng still had a casual attitude.


    ¡°I ask you, why did you kick Sun Yuanhao and Lu Hu into the abyss in the first stage?¡± The Regulations Elder asked strictly.


    The second he finished his words, Sun Yuanhao and Lu Hu started to explain how they were tricked by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This brat has no respect for his Elders and he kicked me, a Core disciple, into the abyss, destroying my future¡­ ¡± Lu Hu cried.


    ¡°He wanted to keep all the treasures for himself and he was scared that I would fight for it, so he kicked me into the abyss.¡± Sun Yuanhao wept.


    The two had twisted the truth and acted so well that everyone sympathised witg them.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! How do you explain this?¡± The Regulations Elder questioned.


    ¡°The will of these two are weak! They were controlled by the illusion fox. Disciple here thinks that people like them would only drag everyone back. Therefore, I decided to send them out.¡± Zhao Feng said expressionlessly.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Don¡¯t you dare humiliate us!¡±


    Lu Hu and Sun Yuanhao were full of anger.


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly in his heart - Do you think I¡¯ll argue with you over the ¡®truth¡¯?


    These people must have already plotted together against Zhao Feng. After hearing, Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®explanation¡¯, everyone was stunned. It was because that they were useless, they were kicked out.


    ¡°Dammit! This guy¡¯s too arrogant.¡±


    Many people were angry.


    Lu Hu and Sun Yuanhao both had sad looks on their face. In this situation, they were still looked down upon.


    The Regulations Elder paused slightly - the plans they made could not counter this.


    ¡°How dare you be so arrogant! Then I ask you, why did you attack Quan Chen in the second stage?¡± The Regulations Elder coldly said.


    ¡°To the Clan Master and Elders, disciple here was finally able to enter the central areas of a castle and Zhao Feng, who entered midway, wanted to steal my spoils of war¡­ ¡±


    Quan Chen said through gritted teeth.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how will you explain this?¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed: ¡°Brother Quan worked with me to attack the castle, but he was useless. He dragged me down - he was more of a help by not being there.¡±


    Useless? Dragged him down?


    Everyone¡¯s eyes almost popped out from their eye sockets. This excuse was far too lame.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Stop making stuff up!¡±


    Quan Chen was extremely angry - when did he ever drag Zhao Feng down?


    The latter wasn¡¯t even explaining anything, he was humiliating them.


    ¡°Good, good. Zhao Feng, I¡¯ve been the Regulations Elder for many years and it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen someone so arrogant. I ask you, why did you trick Bei Moi in the last stage and make him exit early?¡± The Regulations Elder asked coldly.


    ¡°That cat teamed up with Zhao Feng and tricked me. Does Brother Zhao think I¡¯m useless as well?¡±


    Bei Moi stared at the little thieving cat and laughed coldly.


    Bei Moi¡¯s strength couldn¡¯t be doubted. At the same time, his talent and luck were very high too.


    Everyone thought ¡°You can¡¯t use the words ¡®useless¡¯ and ¡®dragging me down¡¯ now¡±.


    ¡°Brother Bei is obviously powerful, but his intelligence¡­ How could you believe what a cat says? So what if people like him who have strength, but no brains exited?¡± Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying my intelligence is low?¡± Bei Moi was obviously annoyed.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder nodded its head and it waved its paws in agreement.


    ¡°You¡­ you¡­ ¡±


    Bei Moi was so angry that he almost coughed up blood.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t even explaining at all, he was just humiliating them!


    ¡°What an arrogant brat!¡±


    The Regulations Elder almost exploded from anger. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t play the cards that he wanted him to, which made all his traps and plans miss.


    Zhao Feng then immediately bowed to the Clan Master and First Elder: ¡°These people are either useless or dumb. Thinking for the whole trial, I decided to kick them out. Disciple would be willing to take the punishment for ¡®arrogance¡¯!¡±


    I confess¡­ To this sin!

 195 Lightning Inheritance 1

    ¡°These people are either useless or dumb. Thinking for the whole trial, I decided to kick them out. Disciple would be willing to take the punishment for ¡®arrogance¡¯¡±.


    I confess¡­ To this sin!


    The hall was instantly so silent that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.


    The expressions of Elders were all very colorful. The ¡®victims¡¯ Quan Chen, Sun Yuanhao, Bei Moi and Lu Hu had green faces and they were trembling with rage.


    How was this ¡®confessing¡¯ to his sin? He was mocking them!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words pierced at the weakest point in their heart. If they weren¡¯t useless, how would they have been controlled by an Illusion Fox? If they weren¡¯t dumb, how would they believe a cat?


    This was the shame in their hearts. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even bother explaining it and he slapped their faces soundly instead. Even if Quan Chen and co. won the argument, the titles of ¡®useless¡¯, ¡®dumb¡¯, ¡®dragging the group back¡¯ will be stuck onto them.


    The first to react was the Regulations Elder.


    ¡°Arrogant brat! You have not changed your wrongs, you¡¯re selfish... you don¡¯t put the laws in your eyes... you harm others for your benefit! You¡­ ¡± The Regulations Elder suddenly stopped talking.


    He suddenly realised that something was wrong.


    ¡°Disciple here is willing to take the punishment for arrogance, selfishness not putting the laws in my eyes, and harming others for my benefit.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s azure hair waved in the air and a smile full of mockery appeared on his face.


    Just as the Regulations Elder was about to say something else, First Elder intercepted: ¡°Ok, the truth has come out and Zhao Feng has confessed to his wrongdoings.¡±


    ¡°But¡­ ¡±


    The Regulation Elder¡¯s face was green.


    ¡°You¡¯ve already said it yourself, Zhao Feng was arrogant and selfish, but he didn¡¯t have intentions of harming the other disciples. Furthermore, his words were not without reason.¡± First Elder said.


    Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master were both dazed and speechless. Zhao Feng himself had already confessed, what else could they do?


    From head to toe, he only had the title of ¡®selfish¡¯ and ¡®arrogant¡¯. These weren¡¯t even sins, they were one¡¯s attitude.There were many people like this in the Clan. The only one that was problematic was harming others for his own benefit.


    ¡°How about we take four hundred thousand contribution points off Zhao Feng and give it to the four disciples for their losses?¡± First Elder suggested.


    ¡°That is a great idea, Four hundred thousand points is the salary of a Vice Head working one hundred years for the Clan - it¡¯s more than enough to compensate these disciples.¡± The Clan Master nodded her head in agreement.


    ¡°Four hundred thousand points is indeed a lot. There¡¯s also been previous examples of deducting contribution points in the past.¡± The originally neutral Granny Liuyue said.


    ¡°This¡­ ¡± The Regulations Elder looked helplessly at Elder Xue and Elder Hai Yun.


    The three of them could do nothing.


    From the surface, it seemed that the Clan had already tried its best to punish Zhao Feng. Four hundred thousand points was a large amount of points. If one questioned this punishment, it was the same as questioning the Clan itself.


    However, for Zhao Feng, he would still have one hundred thousand points left. When contribution points reached such an amount, it didn¡¯t mean much anymore.


    He had also received the privilege of entering the Hollow Building anytime he wanted. He already had the best inheritance of the Floating Crest Palace, the ¡®Lightning Inheritance¡¯, which contained much enlightenment inside.


    He didn¡¯t need money, skills or treasures.


    Four hundred thousand points were nothing to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, do you have any problems?¡± The Clan Master asked.


    ¡°Disciple has no problems with this, but I think it would be better to give the points back to the Clan, instead of giving them to these dumb and useless disciples.¡± Zhao Feng suggested.


    Hearing this, Quan Chen and co. started cursing as they faces turned red with embarrassment. Even if they managed to receive the contribution points today, they would never forget the shame and they might even develop a fear of today.


    This was especially so for Bei Moi. He was a prodigy with great talent and luck and he had come second in the trial, which already gave him two hundred thousand points.


    The crushing of his dignity was his critical weakness.


    ¡°Stop.¡± First Elder stared at Zhao Feng and he signalled for him to stop being so mischievous.


    The latter was already the biggest winner. Not only did he not get punished, he had also shamed Bei Moi and co.


    Zhao Feng smiled and returned to his Master¡¯s side. The Elders then warned Zhao Feng repetitively and they announced the latter¡¯s punishment to the public.


    Finally¡­ It was over.


    The enmities in the trial were held down. Bei Moi, Quan Chen and co. had angered and shameful expressions when they walked out of the hall.


    After the crowd faded away.


    ¡°Come with me.¡± First Elder said to Zhao Feng.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng arrived at the place where First Elder lived. It was a quiet and calm room with no one around. Zhao Feng was slightly surprised - this was the private place of his Master. Not many people were allowed to enter it.


    ¡°Speak, what inheritance did you receive in the Floating Crest Palace?¡± First Elder smiled.


    Zhao Feng paused - how did First Elder know?


    ¡°Hahaha, I understand the Floating Crest Palace better than anyone else. It¡¯s impossible for you to not receive an inheritance. The most important point is that you¡¯re talented in other aspects apart from mental energy as well. It¡¯s not hard to get a simple inheritance.¡± First Elder said confidently.


    ¡°Master¡¯s eyes are indeed bright. Yes, I have received an inheritance.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly opened his hand. A small sparkle of lightning appeared on his palm and it was perfectly in line with the lines on his hand.


    ¡°This¡­ is the inheritance of Lightning!¡± First Elder took in a cold breath as shock appeared on his face.


    He was the most knowledgeable and strongest Elder in the Clan. By just looking at it, he could tell the history of Zhao Feng¡¯s inheritance.


    ¡°With this inheritance, my Lightning Wind Palm will be perfected. Master, do you still go against me training the Lightning Wind Palm?¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    First Elder paused and he looked at Zhao Feng with complex emotions.


    Zhao Feng, who had received the ¡®Lightning Inheritance¡¯, definitely had the right to train the Lightning Wind Palm.


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t because I had already learnt the Lightning Wind Palm, disciple might¡¯ve not received this Inheritance. This is known as ¡®karma¡¯. Furthermore, Bei Moi¡¯s inheritance also probably has something to do with his Northern Dark Heavenly Water.¡± Zhao Feng continued.


    ¡°Karma is indeed the hardest thing to understand in the world.¡± First Elder smiled bitterly and shook his head.


    Who would have thought that the Lightning Wind Palm Zhao Feng trained was the key to allowing him to receive the best ¡®Lightning Inheritance¡¯?


    Zhao Feng had told Lin Fan to go to the canyon as well, but the latter had only received a normal Floating Crest Seal and not a Floating Crest Lightning Seal.


    This was karma.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, there¡¯s nothing I can teach you since you¡¯ve already received the Lightning Inheritance. I¡¯ll recommend you to the ¡®Three Clan Party¡¯ in a month¡¯s time. But before that, you must reach the position of one of the top five Core disciples.¡±


    First Elder¡¯s expression was full of praise and admiration. He might be knowledgeable, but it was nothing in front of the Lightning Inheritance.


    What made him more relaxed was the fact that Zhao Feng might seem arrogant and careless, but in reality, he was calm and cunning. He had no sympathy and he made decision without hesitation.


    His attitude was suitable for this world. From First Elders¡¯ point of view, the other disciples such as Yang Gan, Bei Moi, Sun Yuanhao and co. hadn¡¯t matured yet and they weren¡¯t as cunning as Zhao Feng.


    ¡°What is this ¡®Three Clan Party¡¯?¡± Zhao Feng asked curiously.


    First Elder was slightly surprised. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even put ¡®getting into the top 5 Core disciples¡¯ into his heart - from this, his confidence could be seen.


    ¡°The Three Clan Party consists of the Lin Moon Clan, Silver Moon Clan and the Broken Moon Clan. It¡¯s held once every five years and the Broken Moon Clan would always come last because the Lin Moon Clan and Silver Moon Clan were ranked higher than us in the Thirteen Clans.¡±


    After Zhao Feng heard this, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh: ¡°I can¡¯t believe that the Broken Moon Clan is so weak in the Thirteen Clans.¡±


    ¡°Fuck off! The Thirteen Clans are all small powers. All of us similar strengths. The Broken Moon Clan won¡¯t be scared of anyone when it comes to a fight.¡± First Elder swore.


    ¡°This¡­ How does one measure how powerful a Clan is?¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly became interested in how the strengths of each Clan was measured. It was obvious that the Broken Moon Clan was just a cornerstone.


    ¡°According to ancient records, the Clans are split into five tiers from one star to five stars. One star being the weakest and five the strongest. The difference in between each star may amount to ten or hundreds of times in strength.¡±


    ¡°How many stars does the Broken Moon Clan have?¡± Zhao Feng asked urgently.


    How many stars?


    First Elder¡¯s face went red and laughed: ¡°Let¡¯s change another subject.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a weird face, but he didn¡¯t continue asking. The Three Clan Party was an opportunity to see the geniuses of other factions.


    ¡°Although the Three Clan Party is only between three clans, the number of geniuses are still high. For example, the Lin Moon Clan. I heard that they have a person with a Changeable Body whose talent is comparable to the Earth Spirit Body. This meant that his/her talent is even higher than Bei Moi¡¯s.¡± First Elder said.


    Earth Spiritual Body!


    Zhao Feng was moved - this was a legendary talent. Even Bei Moi was close to a Earth Spiritual Body. This prodigy of the Lin Moon Clan had a Changeable Body like Sun Yuanhao, but the former¡¯s talent was far higher.


    ¡°Oh yeah, if you have any questions, you can ask the Clan since you¡¯ve contributed greatly.¡± First Elder smiled.


    Zhao Feng thought for a while and said lowly: ¡°After I finish a few things, disciple wants to go home first before participating in the Three Clan Party.¡±


    He had already left the Zhao family for quite a while now.

 196 Lightning Inheritance 2

    The forty-eighth day.


    This generation''s Floating Crest Trial came to an official end and Zhao Feng¡¯s name shook the entire Clan. He might not be a Core disciple, but he was definitely one of the most-known.


    At the same time, the rumours of his ¡®arrogance¡¯, ¡®cunningness¡¯ and ¡®selfishness¡¯ spread. There were rumours of many Core disciples being fooled by him. However, it didn¡¯t end here.


    On the second day.


    First Elder announced that he was taking Zhao Feng in as a core disciple of his. This news once again shook the entire Clan, especially at the high level.


    First Elder was without a doubt the most knowledgeable and powerful Elder. By promoting Zhao Feng to his official disciple, it had made the latter one of the disciples not to offend. Therefore, Zhao Feng¡¯s enemies were wary and scared at the same time.


    The second day after the trial ended.


    Zhao Feng went to the Clan Mission Division and he returned the primal crystal stones of debt and he bought the three ¡®Luohou arrows¡¯.


    When old man Zhang saw Zhao Feng, the former couldn¡¯t help but sigh. The two had made a bet whether or not Zhao Feng could participate in the Trial.


    Not only did Zhao Feng manage to enter, he had also come first and beat the ten-thousand year record. Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be excited after he bought the Luohou arrows. The arrows were high quality and they were comparable to a Middle grade Mortal weapon.


    Only by using it with the Luohou Bow would its full power be released.


    Beng sou--


    Zhao Feng lightly pulled back the string and a dark green arrow pierced the air so fast that the naked eye couldn¡¯t even see it.


    ¡°Hmm? When did the Luohou Bow have such strong ice attributes?¡± Old man Zhang was slightly dazed.


    The arrow just then definitely contained a large amount of coldness.


    Qiu!


    The Luohou arrow returned automatically.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction and he handed over the Luohou Bow over to Vice Head Zhang.


    On the Luohou Bow was a blue lotus. Old man Zhang reached out and held the bow. It was cold and the materials that the bow was made of had even undergone a change.


    ¡°No wonder you were the first place in the Floating Crest Trial. The power of the Luohou Bow now is not much weaker than a High grade Mortal weapon. The ice attribute is even more precious than a few High grade mortal weapons.¡± Vice Head Zhang said.


    Zhao Feng was slightly regretful. The ice arrows in the trial had all been used. They had the effect of ice sealing when used with the Luohou Bow.


    Of course, in terms of pure power, the Luohou Bow was better with the Luohou arrows. Zhao Feng estimated that if he fired the Luohou Bow with all his strength, it would cause critical threats to those at the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°It cost twice as much as True Force when using the Luohou Bow and Luohou arrows together.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. Everything must have its own weakness and forte.


    After that.


    Zhao Feng asked old man Zhang about how to fix his Yin Shadow Cloak. The Yin Shadow Cloak was Zhao Feng¡¯s most precious item. Its value was ten times more than a Spiritual weapon.


    Spiritual weapons had a cultivation requirement and those at the Ascended Realm couldn¡¯t even control it. However, Inheritance grade treasures could grow with the user. How rare was that?


    Zhao Feng had gathered most of the materials needed to fix the Yin Shadow Cloak but there were some things that he still needed.


    Apart from that, there was another important condition.


    ¡°You mean the blacksmith has to be a Grandmaster and is at the True Spirit Realm?¡± Old man Zhang asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    ¡°That¡¯s troublesome. In the thirteen clans, there isn¡¯t even a Grandmaster Blacksmith.¡± Old man Zhang smiled bitterly.


    None?


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised - the thirteen countries didn¡¯t even have one Grandmaster Blacksmith?


    ¡°If you really need one, there¡¯s a Grandmaster Blacksmith called ¡®Yan Ye¡¯ in the Metal Dragon Country. However, in the northern continent, a Grandmaster Blacksmith has high standing. Even those at the True Spirit Realm can¡¯t afford to hire him, so how could the Broken Moon Clan.¡± Old man Zhang shook his head.


    It looks like this isn¡¯t just any trouble. Zhao Feng clucked his tongue. He didn¡¯t think that Grandmaster Blacksmiths were so rare and had such high status.


    Vice Head Zhang meant that even if one used the title of the ¡®Broken Moon Clan¡¯ to try and hire him, the latter might not even care.


    The thirteen Cloud countries were between the Sky Rich and Metal Dragon countries. These two were powerful existences and the factions behind them had extreme power.


    The two were engaged in a continuous war and the fight would be settled by the powers backing the two countries.


    Once any of them won, they could sweep the thirteen countries easily.


    ¡°Grandmaster Yan Ye comes from the power backing the Metal Dragon Country and he has connections with the Heavenly Yuan Sect, one of the top ten powers of the continent. The latter is one of the peak factions that can decide the lives of many smaller clans with just a thought.¡±


    Old man Zhang¡¯s expression was solemn. He was obviously trying to warn Zhao Feng.


    Country, factions, ten great powers¡­


    Zhao Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart. It seemed that the world was far bigger than what he imagined. In the Green Flower Continent, these ten powers held the ability to choose who lived and who died. Even the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was defeated by the ten great powers.


    ¡°Relax, teacher. We¡¯re not up to there yet. Disciple believes that as long as there¡¯s enough profit, even a Grandmaster Blacksmith will forsake his dignity.¡± Zhao Feng was extremely confident.


    After saying goodbye to old man Zhang, Zhao Feng went to see old man Guan. The two had cared for him and this was something that Zhao Feng would never forget. After exiting the trial, Zhao Feng had a number of resources which he gave to the two teachers.


    Finally.


    Zhao Feng went to the see the outer disciples and no one dared to breathe loudly when they saw Zhao Feng.


    It was just that the name of Zhao Feng was too famous right now. Apparently, even Core disciples had been crushed underneath his feet.


    Zhao Feng came here to see Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, I can¡¯t believe you¡¯ve reached such a high stand. First in the trial and a disciple of First Elder.¡±


    Seeing Zhao Feng, Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan were both excited. It was obvious that they had heard of Zhao Feng¡¯s actions.


    The latter smiled and asked: ¡°How are you two doing? Is anyone bullying you?¡±


    ¡°Nope! How would they dare to?¡±


    ¡°Even inner disciples are scared of your name. Who dares to offend us?¡±


    Zhao Feng understood that the two had considerable good lives as outer disciples and they had both reached the top twenty outer disciples, with Yang Qingshan close to breaking through to the Ascended Realm.


    Before he left.


    Zhao Feng gave the two a bunch of Spiritual pills which would easily allow them to reach the Ascended Realm.


    Around a day or two later.


    Zhao Feng took care of all the troublesome stuff. Most of the compensation by the Clan had been exchanged. There were many types of compensation.


    One, by compensating primal crystal stones.


    Zhao Feng had 8000 low grade primal crystal stones, which was equivalent to 800,000 substandard primal crystal stones.


    Although this was a large amount, it was nowhere enough when compared to Spiritual weapons and Spiritual tier skills.


    Two, compensation by resources. Zhao Feng had the ability to take out as many resources as a Vice Head.


    The monthly allowance he got was more than the expense of a few years worth of savings by normal disciples.


    Three, the right to enter the Hollow Building whenever he wanted and to browse any Peak tier Mortal skill.


    Four...


    There were a total of ten compensations and one of them even gave Zhao Feng his own building. The latter was speechless - now wasn¡¯t the time to be high-key and relax.


    He remained in his room.


    For some time.


    Zhao Feng was extremely low-key and he didn¡¯t see anyone.


    In the depths of his mind.


    The three layered building representing the Lightning Inheritance appeared. Zhao Feng began to try and fully gain comprehension from the first floor of the Lightning Inheritance, even if it was a tiny bit. WIth such a powerful inheritance, he needed nothing else.


    Firstly. He was to perfect the Lightning Wind Palm and this would become the skill to build on.


    For several days, the scenery of lightning appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. From a tiny spark to a thunderous storm.


    The Lightning Inheritance had ¡®lightning¡¯ in it, and with Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension abilities, he could only learn the edges of it.


    It was lucky that his current goal was to perfect the Lightning Wind Palm and make the latter the path to understand the ¡®Lightning Inheritance¡¯.


    Several days later.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wind Palm had reached the peak fourth level. It was still the fourth level, but the power was double to what it was before!


    ¡°The Lightning Inheritance is indeed the best inheritance of the Floating Crest Palace. After the changes in the Lightning Wind Palm by me, the danger involved has decreased while its power have increased. It¡¯s even better than many High tier Mortal skills.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. With his ¡®Lightning Inheritance¡¯, any skill under the Spiritual tier would be no use of him. At best, they would be used as support.


    In the span of ten days time.


    Zhao Feng had managed to comprehend a tiny bit of Lightning and he was able to merge it into his movement skill.


    After it was merged, Zhao Feng¡¯s explosive speed was lightning-quick and he was full of agility when used with his Illusion Fish Picture.


    ¡°My movement can be considered to be perfect.¡± Zhao Feng was extremely pleased.


    After that, Zhao Feng even merged Lightning into his Heavenly Wind True Force, which made the true force contain sparks of lightning, increasing its speed and damage. With Lightning as the foundation, Zhao Feng¡¯s skills had all been improved.


    Next.


    Zhao Feng went into secluded cultivation. He had already reached the peak 3rd Sky in the trial and he was already considered middle-high in the inner disciples. However, Zhao Feng knew that this was nothing in the Three Clan Party.


    Zhao Feng now had control over a large number of resources, pills and primal crystal stones¡­ There was nothing he didn¡¯t have!


    Five days later.


    Zhao Feng broke through to the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm and the aura caused the energy nearby to fluctuate.


    Lin Fan, Yun Mengxiang, and co. nearby were all stunned.


    ¡°Brother Zhao is indeed a step faster than me.¡±


    Lin Fan, who was also trying to reach the 4th Sky, couldn¡¯t but smile and shake his head.

 197 Challenging Core disciples 1

    The 4th Sky was a great difference from the 3rd. Zhao Feng felt that his senses with the energy around him had become stronger. Although he couldn¡¯t direct absorb the energy, he could still take it in by cultivating.


    When one reached this level, it was known as ¡®Xiantian¡¯.


    ¡°When martial artists reach the Ascended Realm, they strive for bigger changes and the Dao.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to understand.


    Martial artists were just one of the titles for cultivators. There were others such as the Blood Corpse Protector, who had forged himself into a corpse-like being. This was the Corpse Dao.


    The hooded figure in the Cloud Forest, who had controlled an army of beasts to attack the Guanjun Province City, was also of mysterious descent. In this world, there were all sorts of cultivation techniques and skills.


    Martial artists were the most normal and easiest to become, but at the same time, they were the most populated.


    After reaching the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm, Zhao Feng cultivated for another two days to consolidate his realm and organise the skills in the dimension of his left eye. This included Peak tier Mortal skills and even Spiritual tier skills!


    Zhao Feng only looked at them to gain more knowledge. His core skill study was still the Lightning Inheritance. Inheritance contained everything - offense, defense, movement and secret techniques. Therefore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to train other skills.


    Two days later.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng breathed out and he left his building. Right at this moment, he felt energy fluctuate nearby.


    ¡°Lin Fan also broke through?¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced in certain direction. After reaching the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm, his senses were far sharper.


    As soon as Lin Fan broke through, many inner disciples came over and congratulated him. This included Princess Yun Mengxiang, Xu Ren, Xiao Sun and co. Once an inner disciple reached the 4th Sky, they had the chance of becoming a Core disciple.


    Lin Fan had stayed in the Clan for quite a while and he had quite a number of friends come over to congratulate him. Zhao Feng laughed and walked into Lin Fan¡¯s building.


    Within the lounge.


    ¡°Congratulations Brother Lin for reaching the 4th Sky. It looks like becoming a Core disciple is not far away now.¡±


    ¡°Brother Lin is indeed a dragon amongst men. When you fly, don¡¯t forget us.¡±


    A total of ten inner disciples said respectfully and flattered.


    Amongst the crowd, Yun Mengxiang, Xiao Sun and Xu Ren had complex expressions.


    Yun Mengxiang and Xiao Sun didn¡¯t put Lin Fan in their eyes before because the latter¡¯s talent was only average. However, after this trial, he had turned from a carp into a dragon and stepped into the class of top disciples.


    Lin Fan was helpless as he greeted these flatterers. He had just reached the 4th Sky and he needed time to consolidate his cultivation, but these people had come instantly over and congratulated him.


    ¡°When Brother Zhao broke through, how come you guys didn¡¯t go congratulate him?¡± Lin Fan laughed coldly in his heart.


    Zhao Feng had reached the 4th Sky two days earlier than him, but no one dared to interrupt him. Even Head Disciple Yang Gan had come over for a glance then left.


    Now.


    Zhao Feng was a being that brought disaster wherever he went. He was already insane from training the Lightning Wind Palm and he even tricked several Core disciples.


    He had humiliated these Core disciples in the Central Division in front of the Regulation Elder. However, no one could do anything to him.


    Amongst the core disciples, he had Yang Gan backing him. In the entire Clan, First Elder was Zhao Feng¡¯s Master.


    Thinking about Zhao Feng, Lin Fan had complex feelings of gratitude, respect, curiosity.


    ¡°Brother Lin.¡± A familiar voice sounded from across the lounge.


    Another person had come to congratulate Lin Fan. At first, many didn¡¯t care who it was but when they saw the figure, their hearts clenched.


    It was a one eyed youth with azure air, who brought upon a wave of shock as he entered the room.


    Yun Mengxiang and Xiao Sun¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    ¡°Brother Zhao!¡± Lin Fan immediately went to greet the comer with joy.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡±


    The atmosphere instantly became tense as everyone¡¯s expression changed. These inner disciples all became cautious and they immediately greeted Zhao Feng with smiles.


    ¡°En.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and greeted a few familiar people simply.


    This stunned all the other disciples present: ¡°Brother Zhao might look terrifying, but his attitude isn¡¯t as bad as the rumours.¡±


    They felt spoilt just by Zhao Feng nodding back at them. In the rumours, he was a brutal savage and he had kicked out several Core disciples because he felt like it.


    ¡°Brother Zhao was great in the trial. Whoever got in his eye was removed¡­ ¡±


    ¡°No one can ever compete with Brother Zhao in the Floating Crest Trial.¡±


    These inner disciples started to flatter Zhao Feng and many even signalled that they were willing to be his lackey.


    If one was to ask who not to offend the most, it was definitely Zhao Feng. If one followed Zhao Feng, didn¡¯t that mean that they would get to do whatever they wanted?


    Zhao Feng had a queer expression as he shook his head. He had no intentions of taking any underlings.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you¡¯ve already reached the 4th Sky and have consolidated your foundation. Are you going to challenge Core disciples?¡± Lin Fan suddenly asked in curiosity.


    Challenging Core disciples!?


    The expressions of some of the inner disciples present tensed.


    Core disciples were a whole tier higher than inner disciples, just like how inner disciples were higher than outer disciples.


    ¡°Without you asking, I almost forgot about that.¡±


    Zhao Feng rubbed his head. He suddenly remembered that he had promised First Elder to reach the top five of Core disciples and enter the Three Clan Party.


    Only by reaching the top five would First Elder be allowed to nominate Zhao Feng to enter the Three Clan party. This was the lowest requirement!


    They would represented the entire Broken Moon Clan at the Three Clan Party. Hearing that Zhao Feng would actually challenge Core disciples, the present inner disciples were all excited.


    The rankings of the Core disciples had changed severely over the past time.


    All in all, this was because of the Floating Crest Trial. Those that had participated had greatly increased in cultivation.


    Yang Gan, Bei Moi, Quan Chen and Ran Xiaoyuan had flipped the entire Core disciples ranking.


    Yang Gan was first, the Head disciple. Bei Moi reached the place of second Core disciple. Quan Chen and Ran Xiaoyuan had reached the fifth and sixth place respectively.


    All the inner disciples were stunned by this.


    Hearing this news, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but cluck his tongue. He didn¡¯t realise that he was the butterfly creating the wind.


    If it wasn¡¯t because of him, not everyone would¡¯ve pass the second stage. If it wasn¡¯t because of him, the Sky Boundary Island wouldn¡¯t have turned into an island of ice¡­


    ¡°That¡¯s right, the competition has never been so fierce before amongst the inner disciples.¡± Lin Fan sighed.


    Up to now, the disciples that had participated in the trial should have obtained their rankings and the Core disciples should have been decided. However, many realised that the ranking of Core disciples was far from over.


    This was because an ¡®insane being¡¯ still hadn¡¯t made his move. That person was Zhao Feng!


    The first place in the trial, the person who broke the ten-thousand year record. He still hadn¡¯t made his move. But now, the latter stood in front of them and he was going to challenge the Core disciples.


    How could they not be excited? Would the rankings change again?


    But there were a few who didn¡¯t believe so. They believed that Zhao Feng had come first in the trial all due to luck. Furthermore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t receive an inheritance and therefore, he didn¡¯t have the power nor experience compared with the older Core disciples.


    ¡°Brother Zhao!¡±


    From outside came a voice full of dominance. With the sound came a surge of powerful aura.


    The inner disciples inside all had the feeling that they couldn¡¯t breathe.


    After they saw who came, they were stunned: ¡°Yang Gan!¡±


    Being the Head disciple Yang Gan was, without a doubt, the leader of the younger generation.


    Everyone felt spoilt by the appearance of Yang Gan, the Head disciple and disciple of First Elder.


    However, no one thought that Yang Gan would come here to meet them or congratulate Lin Fan. This was because they didn¡¯t have the capabilities and right for him to do so.


    ¡°Brother Yang.¡± Zhao Feng walked out of the lounge.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, Master told me to tell you to enter the top 5 Core disciples as soon as possible.¡± Yang Gan immediately told Zhao Feng the reason why he came over.


    Under normal circumstances, Yang Gan barely came to find Zhao Feng. Although the two were disciples of First Elder, their relationship was neither good nor bad.


    Yang Gan aimed for perfection and even if he disliked Zhao Feng, he would still protect the latter because the two had the same Master. However, this junior brother of his had exceeded his expectations once again.


    This was especially so in the Floating Crest Trial. Zhao Feng had come first, which made him feel uncomfortable and even slightly jealous.


    ¡°I hope Brother Yang can tell Master that I¡¯ve already reached the top five Core disciples and that he doesn¡¯t need to worry.¡± Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    He understood that Master was preparing to nominate him for the Three Clan Party, but he had forgotten all about it.


    Hearing this, Yang Gan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed: Where did Zhao Feng¡¯s confidence come from? He hadn¡¯t even made his move yet and he wanted him to tell Master that he had already succeeded.


    Didn¡¯t this mean he was lying to Master?


    No way! I¡¯ll tell Master that Brother Zhao¡¯s arrogance needs to be fixed.


    ¡°Relax, I¡¯ll tell Master ¡®exactly¡¯ what you said.¡± Yang Gan laughed, and then he turned around and left.


    This was what he wanted to do and indeed did so.


    ¡°Dammit, this Yang Gan isn¡¯t even giving me face. No, I need to get into the top five before he meets Master.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression tightened.


    Shua!


    A hum of lightning sounded as an afterimage of Zhao Feng was left behind.


    What kind of movement skill was this?


    Everyone present took in a cold breath.

 198 Challenging Core disciples 2

    Broken Moon Clan.


    Inside a beautiful garden.


    He! Boom! ¡­


    An expressionless youth was sparring with two youths. At this point in time, lights flashed through the air and any remaining blasts of energy were able to shatter metal.


    The expressionless youth was able to fight two at the same time without losing. A dark blue layer of water surrounded him, which contained immense pressure inside. Just by standing next to it could cause normal cultivators at the Ascended Realm to cough out blood.


    ¡°... The Dark Water Inheritance is no wonder one of the most powerful inheritances of the Floating Crest Palace.¡±


    Hai Yun Master sat on a nearby stone and said with praise. The expressionless youth was Bei Moi and the other two were Quan Chen and Yuan Zhi, both disciples of Hai Yun Master.


    Quan Chen was at the peak 4th Sky and the 5th Core disciples. Yuan Zhi was at the 5th Sky and ranked 3rd of the Core disciples.


    At this moment, the two couldn¡¯t beat the youngest Bei Moi, even if they teamed up. The latter had reached the peak 4th Sky and he was able to force his two senior brothers back.


    Quan Chen and Yuan Zhi were shocked - ever since Bei Moi had exited the Floating Crest Trial, he had increased by leaps and bounds. The power of the two teaming up could easily mince a normal cultivator at the 4th Sky into pieces, but it couldn¡¯t even break Bei Moi¡¯s defense.


    It was like there was a bottomless whirlpool surrounding Bei Moi, which made every attack feel like it was sinking into an ocean.


    ¡°Heavenly Water Mountain Opener!¡±


    Bei Moi waved his hands and a dark blue ripple of water suddenly expanded and with a ¡®jiang¡¯ sent the other two back.


    Yuan Zhi was forced back tens of steps before he regained his composure. Quan Chen was pushed back further and he almost spat out blood.


    ¡°Thanks.¡±


    The 3rd Core disciples and 5th Core disciples together couldn¡¯t beat Bei Moi!


    ¡°Good! Good! Moi¡¯er, you have improved a lot. In two years, no one of the younger generation will be able to compete against you.¡± Hai Yun Master praised.


    Yuan Zhi and Quan Chen stood on the side with expressions of stun.


    The latter was full of hatred and helplessness. Bei Moi was only this strong because he had received an inheritance. Every time he thought about this, he would hate Zhao Feng. If it wasn¡¯t because of the latter, maybe he could¡¯ve also received an inheritance.


    ¡°Moi¡¯er, don¡¯t set your sight just on the Broken Moon Clan. At the Three Clan Party in half a months time, you can show off your skills. At that time, you¡¯ll be giving me face.¡± Hai Yun Master smiled and said.


    Three Clan Party.


    Quan Chen and Yuan Zhi glanced at each other with twitching hearts. With Bei Moi¡¯s strength, he was easily able to participate the Three Clan Party. However, for them it would be hard.


    Right at this moment.


    ¡°Elder! Something¡¯s causing trouble outside!¡± A servant ran in.


    Quan Chen exclaimed: ¡°Who dares to cause trouble here?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s First Elders¡¯ disciples Zhao Feng. He¡¯s leading a bunch of people and searching for Brother Quan and chased up to here.¡± The servant said in panic.


    Yuan Zhi laughed: ¡°Brother Quan, it looks like Zhao Feng¡¯s finding trouble for you.¡±


    No matter how arrogant Zhao Feng was, he was still a disciples. How would he dare to cause trouble to an Elder?


    ¡°This bastard definitely wants to challenge my Core disciple position.¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s expression was dim, but his heart was in reality he was extremely wary. He knew how terrifying Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Hai Yun Master spoke.


    ¡°I heard that Zhao Feng wanted to challenge a Core disciple. He first went to find Brother Quan, but Brother Quan wasn¡¯t home. He then went to find Brother Yuan and he saw no one as well. After that, he went to search for Brother Bei-¡±


    ¡°Ok! I understand! He then arrived at my place.¡± Hai Yun Master said deeply.


    ¡°In¡­ indeed, Elder!¡± The servant trembled.


    At this point in time the atmosphere in the garden was tense. The expressions of the three disciples of Hai Yun Master were ugly.


    Zhao Feng was definitely picking on Hai Yun Masters¡¯ disciples. Did he think they were weak?


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡±


    Quan Chen¡¯s face was filled with fury, but in reality he was overjoyed. If it was just him alone, he probably couldn¡¯t beat that bastard.


    But with the three of them¡­


    Hmph! Zhao Feng! You sure are unlucky today!


    ¡°The three of you can go, but don¡¯t lose my face.¡±


    Hai Yun Master waved his hand. Although he felt disgusted at the fact that Zhao Feng purposely picked his disciples, he was at the True Spirit Realm and he obviously wouldn¡¯t interfere with the younger generation.


    Furthermore, behind Zhao Feng stood First Elder. Both he and First Elder wouldn¡¯t easily interfere with the competition between disciples.


    Go! Let¡¯s go!


    The three charged out of their Master¡¯s place.


    Yuan Zhi felt weird in his heart. The two seemed like they hated Zhao Feng.


    Outside of the building was indeed a group of people and the leader was Zhao Feng.


    ¡°So you guys were hiding here.¡± Zhao Feng said in realisation.


    After he exited secluded cultivation, he would obviously challenge the disciples of Hai Yun Master first. But the weird thing was that Quan Chen, Yuan Zhi and Bei Moi were all not home.


    After going around and asking, he found out that the three were hiding the Hai Yun Masters¡¯ place.


    ¡°What do you mean by hiding!?¡±


    Quan Chen and the other two felt disgusted and angered. The three had been called by their Master to spar with each other.


    Those that didn¡¯t know this probably thought that they were scared of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Fight.¡± Zhao Feng said and turned towards the fighting stage.


    He didn¡¯t worry that they wouldn¡¯t follow. They were already in front of an Elder¡¯s building - it was impossible for them to not fight.


    Soon. Central Division, challenging stage.


    This was made just for inner disciples to spar with each other. Zhao Feng lept into the air and he landed on the stage.


    At this moment in time, there were already two inner disciples fighting.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡±


    When the two saw the one-eyed azure haired youth who gave off the 4th Sky aura, they were scared off stage.


    Soon.


    Another few auras at the 4th Sky or higher landed.


    Quan Chen and the other two looked at each other and they seemed to be deciding who was going to fight first.


    Quan Chen was slightly scared and he didn¡¯t nominate himself.


    ¡°How bout all three of you come at once!?¡± Zhao Feng mocked.


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    ¡°Arrogant!¡±


    Bei Moi and Quan Chen exclaimed at the same time.


    Of course, Zhao Feng actually didn¡¯t want to fight all three at once. He wasn¡¯t that arrogant and even if he was willing, the three wouldn¡¯t be.


    ¡°Brother Quan, you go up first and test his strength.¡± Yuan Zhi ordered.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Although Quan Chen was unwilling, he still agreed.


    On the stage.


    Zhao Feng faced Quan Chen.


    There were already many inner disciples who had arrived after hearing what was going on.


    The two pairs of eyes both had complex emotions.


    This was especially so for Quan Chen. Back when he had went to the Guanjun Palace, how dominant was he?


    At that time, he didn¡¯t even look at Zhao Feng straight. He didn¡¯t even remember Zhao Feng. Now, Quan Chen¡¯s head tingled and he had wariness and fear within him.


    It wasn¡¯t that Zhao Feng and Quan Chen hadn¡¯t fought before. They had done so in the trial, but in the end, Quan Chen had been fooled.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, Brother Quan Chen, do you want me to go easy on you?¡±


    How sharp were Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes? He had caught the sign on retreat in Quan Chen¡¯s eyes already. The latter didn¡¯t even have true fighting intent.


    ¡°Shut up! This is not a fight with our tongues!¡± Quan Chen exclaimed.


    He drew his sword and sliced at Zhao Feng. Marks were made on the black stone on the stage floor. This stone was even harder than low grade Mortal weapons.


    ¡°What a powerful attack!¡±


    The disciples below clucked their tongues.


    The weapon that Quan Chen was holding right now was of Middle grade and he himself had trained in high ranked skills. Back when he was battling Bei Moi, he didn¡¯t use a weapon.


    ¡°Hehehe, do you believe I can win by just ¡®using my tongue¡¯?¡± Zhao Feng laughed lightly.


    Shua!


    His figure instantly vanished and he evaded the attack.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be arrogant. If you have the skills, don¡¯t use your hands.¡± Quan Chen exclaimed.


    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll show you.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back and he took a deep breath.


    Boi~~


    He opened his mouth and an invisible mental energy sound attack shot at Quan Chen. Where the mental energy sound attack went, there was the sound of thunder.


    Huang!


    It was like Quan Chen had been struck by lightning. His figure shook and his blood boiled. The move just then almost made him vomit blood.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy sound attack pierced directly into the soul and would use high vibrations to shock the body.


    After receiving the Lightning Inheritance, Zhao Feng would use this as a basis for everything. Even this mental energy sound attack contained the humming of thunder.


    Furthermore, Quan Chen wasn¡¯t strong willed - he was far weaker than Bei Moi and Lin Fan. Therefore, just the first round of mental energy sound attack caused Quan Chen to stumble and almost spit out blood.


    Boi! Boi!


    Quan Chen immediately spat out a mouthful of blood as his face turned pale. Mental energy was originally his weakness and now, Zhao Feng¡¯s sound attack was much stronger than in the trial, especially after merging with a bit of the Lightning Inheritance.


    ¡°How is this possible!?¡±


    ¡°Brother Zhao didn¡¯t even move his hands. Just his mouth alone made Quan Chen cough out blood!¡±


    The spectators were stunned.


    ¡°Brother Quan, use your true force to protect your ears and other weak parts.¡± Yuan Zhi asked.


    He knew that Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy sound attack used sound to attack.


    ¡°Due to his weak will, even if he used his true force as protection, it would only block ten to twenty percent of the damage.¡± Zhao Feng said.


    Of the mental energy sound attack, it was the mental energy that was hard to defend against. It made one panic and under that situation, how could they fully defend?


    If it was someone with rock hard will and high cultivation, the effect of Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy sound attack would decrease in power by at least half.


    Unfortunately, Quan Chen wasn¡¯t. On the contrary, he became even more scared of Zhao Feng.


    Boi¡­ Boi¡­ Boi¡­


    Zhao Feng spat out a few more attacks.


    Plop!


    Blood flowed out of Quan Chen¡¯s ears and nose as he fainted.


    ¡°Too weak.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head and he thought that he was indeed talented in the path of mental energy. But even the Floating Crest Trial didn¡¯t have the suitable Inheritance for him.


    The Lightning Inheritance was only second best option available for him.

 199 First Clash

    ¡°Brother Quan!¡±


    Seeing Zhao Feng open his mouth and Quan Chen fall onto the ground with a ¡®plop¡¯, the crowd around the stage were shocked.


    Many people took in a cold breath. At this moment, not only did Zhao Feng show great strength, he also brought mystery.


    ¡°Too terrifying! Without even using his hands, he beat Brother Quan!¡±


    ¡°How is this possible!? Brother Quan is ranked 5th of the Core disciples!¡±


    The inner disciples were full of shock and suspicion. A few of them were even thinking that the whole thing was acted.


    ¡°This is Brother Zhao¡¯s strength?¡± Lin Fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    Yun Mengxiang and Xiao Sun on the side were both like wooden chickens. Only half a year ago, they had entered the Broken Moon Clan together and now Zhao Feng had reached such a point.


    Princess Yun Mengxiang was full of regret. Ever since Zhao Feng had chosen the path of martial arts and the Lightning Wind Palm, she had given up on Zhao Feng. But in just a couple months¡¯ time, the latter had become a disciple of First Elder and he broken the ten thousand year record.


    After beating Quan Chen, Zhao Feng was now ranked 5th in the Core disciple ranking. He had achieved his original goal, but with Yuan Zhi and Bei Moi here, the fight wouldn¡¯t end here.


    ¡°Next.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded as he started planning.


    At this time, Yuan Zhi had sent his true force around Quan Chen¡¯s body and he made sure the latter didn¡¯t have any problems.


    ¡°Let me.¡±


    Bei Moi was about to go up.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go first.¡±


    Yuan Zhi stopped Bei Moi. He estimated that Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was at least on Bei Moi¡¯s same level, but he was far more queer so he should first test him out.


    This plan of his didn¡¯t include how he would be shamed - it was for the greater good.


    Since Bei Moi was the strongest, he should be left till last, so there was a higher chance of winning.


    On the stage.


    Zhao Feng faced Yuan Zhi.


    The latter had reached the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm and he easily surpassed Quan Chen in terms of strength and intelligence. After he went up, he didn¡¯t make any rash moves.


    Boi~


    Zhao Feng opened his mouth and a stream of sound shot towards Yuan Zhi.


    Yuan Zhi laughed coldly and instantly, he formed a layer of true force around his ears.


    At the same time, his will wasn¡¯t something that could be compared with Quan Chen.


    Since his cultivation was also higher, Zhao Feng¡¯s sound attack only did twenty to thirty percent power left, which had almost no effect. Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised at all, he was just testing.


    His biggest treasure was mental energy, but he didn¡¯t have any skills nor inheritance about it.


    Heaven Leisure Step!


    Yuan Zhi¡¯s figure seemed to be slow when he moved, but he seemed to slow everything down around him.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed through the air and he was obviously faster than Yuan Zhi. But the latter slowed everything down around him and therefore, he wasn¡¯t scared.


    Lightning Wind Palm!


    Zhao Feng immediately used his most powerful skill and hd sent sizzles of lightning wrapped in a whirlwind towards Yuan Zhi.


    With a ¡®boom¡¯, the two moves heavily clashed together.


    Yuan Zhi¡¯s figure stiffened and his expression changed slightly as he was forced back.


    When he clashed with Zhao Feng, a numbing feeling washed over him. Apart from that, the power of Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wind Palm was more powerful than imagined.


    Every time the two clashed, Yuan Zhi would feel numb and the chaotic power would boil his blood. If it was Quan Chen instead of him, he probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to take one or two hits.


    Below, Bei Moi¡¯s expression was slightly solemn. The strength that Zhao Feng showed was much more power than what he had imagined.


    Lightning Wind Raging Dragon!


    Zhao Feng thrust out his palm and a green wind intertwined with lightning formed into a dragon.


    Amidst the humming of thunder, the palm thrust forward.


    Yuan Zhi¡¯s body stiffened and he was unable to dodge, meaning that he had to circulate all his true force and take the hit straight on.


    Shocking Yuan Ripple!


    A ball of light formed from true force appeared in Yuan Zhi¡¯s palm which exploded and collided with the terrifying Lightning Dragon.


    Booom --- the figures of the two were instantly enveloped in the wave of dust and the two couldn¡¯t be identified.


    One of the figures was as still as the mountain and his azure hair blew in the wind.


    The other figure, however, was pushed back.


    ¡°How can he be this strong? This power is enough to kill a normal cultivator at the 5th Sky.¡±


    Burn marks were left all over Yuan Zhi¡¯s body.


    Shuuu!


    A lightning-quick figure suddenly closed in on Yuan Zhi under the coverage of the remaining lightning.


    What type of speed skill is that? How can it be so fast!?


    Yuan Zhi¡¯s heart shook, but there wasn¡¯t enough time to dodge and he was sent flying by Zhao Feng in one palm.


    Wah!


    Yuan Zhi spat out a mouthful of blood midair and he flew off the stage.


    Within ten moves, Yuan Zhi, who was at the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm, had been defeated.


    The spectators once again broke out into discussion. It wasn¡¯t just the disciples watching, there were also other members of the Clan.


    ¡°Next.¡± Zhao Feng took in a deep breath.


    To beat Yuan Zhi this fast, he had used ninety percent plus of his strength, exlcuding his left eye and bloodline power.


    After defeating Yuan Zhi, Zhao Feng¡¯s ranking was now 3rd amongst the Core disciples.


    ¡°What devastating power! When did the Lightning Wind Palm get so strong? Even I¡¯m tempted to learn it.¡±


    ¡°Is Zhao Feng going to beat all the disciples of Hai Yun Master?¡±


    The crowd discussed.


    Amongst the spectators included Central Division Vice Head Li.


    ¡°Vice Head, when did the power of Lightning Wind Palm get so strong?¡¯ A Deacon exclaimed.


    ¡°That Lightning Wind Palm has obviously been perfected and the intent of lightning is more pure. No wonder First Elder took Zhao Feng as a core disciple. It must be that reason.¡±


    A light flashed in Vice Head Li¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°No wonder! If it wasn¡¯t because of this, First Elder wouldn¡¯t take in another core disciple training the Lightning Wind Palm.¡± The Deacon came to realisation.


    ¡°It looks like Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension isn¡¯t just strong since he¡¯s able to upgrade and perfect the current Lightning Wind Palm. Could this be related to the trial?¡± Vice Head Li murmured to himself.


    At this time, there was only Zhao Feng left on the stage.


    ¡°You rest first and we¡¯ll have a fair fight.¡± Bei Moi said expressionlessly.


    He knew that Zhao Feng must have expended a bit of energy to beat Yuan Zhi and Quan Chen. Zhao Feng understood that Bei Moi wanted to have a fair fight with him and have no advantage.


    This scene had surprised the spectators. Be Moi¡¯s confidence made everyone await the coming battle.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s energy reached its peak and he said: ¡°I¡¯m done, Bei Moi. We¡¯ve had a deal before we entered the Clan and this battle was the deal.¡±


    ¡°Indeed, I¡¯ve waited a long time for this battle. You¡¯re stronger than I imagined and you are worthy of being my opponent.¡±


    Bei Moi stepped onto the stage.


    Hearing their conversation, the crowd was stunned.


    A few who didn¡¯t know what had happened between the two were curious: ¡°What¡¯s the relationship between the two?¡±


    Those that knew the truth were only Quan Chen and Yuan Zhi.


    At the same time.


    In a tall building on the top of a mountain.


    ¡°Xu Ran, Xu Ran. How could two prodigies become your disciples?¡± Hai Yun Master murmured to himself.


    On the stage.


    Zhao Feng and Bei Moi stared at each other with solemn expressions. None of them were arrogant.


    Northern Dark Water Shadow!


    Bei Moi¡¯s figure flashed and figures made out of water appeared. His true body instantly merged between the figures, making it hard to interpret which one was real.


    Without using his left eye, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t even see which one was the real one.


    ¡°What a profound skill.¡± Zhao Feng sighed in admiration.


    Bei Moi was indeed a super genius.


    Illusion Fish Shadow Step!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure blurred and instantly different illusions appeared, trying to trick the opponents senses.


    On the stage several flashing figures appeared, which made the eyes of those watching blur.


    The Illusion Fish Shadow Step was created by Zhao Feng by merging a large amount of movement skills and the Illusion Fish picture.


    In reality, this skill was only the beginner version. The upgraded version was called Illusion Fish Lightning Arc Step.


    However, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t gained enough comprehension from the Lightning Inheritance and the Illusion Fish Lightning Arc Step wasn¡¯t perfected yet. He had only slightly used it to defeat Yuan Zhi.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to use too much lightning as this would reveal the fact that he had received the Lightning Inheritance. He could only use the Lightning Wind Palm as cover.


    Northern Dark Four Heavy Strikes!


    Dark blue ripples of water crushed over. It was like they were tens of thousands of kilograms of water charging at Zhao Feng.


    Lighting Wind Destruction!


    Lightning and wind intertwined on Zhao Feng¡¯s palm and it had the power to destroy everything.


    The two powers clashed heavily together.


    Craaack!


    The explosion was ten yards in radius and the power was almost comparable to the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°What strength!¡±


    The Deacons around the stage were shocked. Apart from the Head disciple, no other inner disciple would be able to stop these two monsters.


    Lightning Wind Raging Dragon!


    Dark Water Mountain Opener!


    Even more powerful moves smashed together and two figures could be seen exchanging moves.


    At a certain point in time.


    The two figures were flying hundreds of metres high in the air and they had exchanged tens of moves.


    Zhao Feng had a slightly savage expression and he circulated his Lightning Wind Palm, which contained a tiny bit of the Lightning Inheritance.


    However, Bei Moi¡¯s defense was far more powerful than expected. The dark blue water could absorb most of the damage.


    Someone as strong as Zhao Feng was even unable to pierce through Bei Moi¡¯s defense - from this, it could be seen how monstrous the latter was.


    ¡°What inheritance is associated with water and has defense as its forte?¡±


    Zhao Feng estimated that without using his bloodline power, he wouldn¡¯t be able to win.


    Of course, Bei Moi also didn¡¯t feel good. Every time he clashed with Zhao Feng, his limbs would turn slightly numb and after feeling this effect continuously, it was horrible.


    Just as the battle between the two was getting fiercer. The true force of the two were rapidly decreasing.


    After another hundred moves or so, the two were puffing and barely able to stand.


    From the beginning to end, Zhao Feng held the initiative and pressured Bei Moi, but he was unable to break through the latter¡¯s defense.


    ¡°This should be the best result.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    ¡°Ok, this battle ends as a draw.¡±


    Vice Head Li appeared and stopped the fight. The two were geniuses of the Clan and they mustn''t have any accidents.


    ¡°Draw.¡±


    Yuan Zhi let out a breath. If Zhao Feng won, it would mean that all of Hai Yun Master¡¯s disciples were defeated.


    Bei Moi looked deeply at Zhao Feng before leaving with the other two.


    ¡°What devastating offense.¡±


    The second Bei Moi returned to his place, a sizzle of blood leaked from his mouth. He couldn¡¯t take the continuous insane attacks from Zhao Feng no matter how strong his defense was.

 200 Beyond formidable

    After the battle was over, Zhao Feng almost couldn¡¯t move. His muscles were aching and his true force was gone.


    ¡°More true force is spent in offense than defense. Furthermore, Bei Moi¡¯s cultivation has reached the peak 4th Sky, meaning his true force is denser than mine.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was solemn.


    That was definitely the most intense battle he had had ever since he entered the Broken Moon Clan. There was no one who had ever fought him to a ¡®draw¡¯ before.


    ¡°Bei Moi is indeed the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s prodigy.¡± Zhao Feng sighed.


    If the two were to continue, he would probably have to admit defeat due to his true force being spent.


    Of course!


    From the beginning till now, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use any bloodline power and he only used a little bit of lightning.


    If his bloodline power was used, Zhao Feng would win without a doubt. However, he would rather lose than do so.


    Fighting to a draw was Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®low-key¡¯ decision, but Bei Moi was much stronger than expected and the slightest mistake could mean defeat.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡± Vice Head Li smiled faintly and he walked over.


    With his experience, he could tell that Zhao Feng¡¯s true force had almost been fully spent.


    ¡°Vice Head Li.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and greeted Vice Head Li. He was one of the few who had cared for him when he had just entered the Clan.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your Lightning Wind Palm seems to be perfected?¡± Vice Head Li asked curiously.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! After my upgrade, the Lightning Wind Palm will have no danger before the 6th level.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hide this fact.


    ¡°This means that at the highest level there will still be danger?¡±


    Vice Head Li was slightly disappointed. At his level, only the sixth level of the Lightning Wind Palm would move him.


    Zhao Feng said deeply: ¡°The highest level has the ability to summon the Nine Tribulations Lightning, which can kill any being under the True Spirit Realm and even those at the True Spirit Realm would be wary. It¡¯s not possible for it to have no risk.¡±


    Vice Head Li nodded his head after hearing this.


    It wasn¡¯t possible for such a monstrous skill to have no risk.


    The Lightning Wind Palm¡¯s greatest treasure was here - even those at the half step - True Spirit Realm would be moved.


    In reality, there was another point that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t say!


    The Lightning Wind Palm had been perfected by him once more and there was now seven levels instead of six.


    The sixth level was unable to summon the Nine Tribulations Lightning, but it could summon the power of natural lightning from the Heavens. Although the sixth level was now much weaker, the risk involved also dropped.


    The seventh level involved the use of the Lightning Inheritance and once one succeeded, they would be able to control lightning and even face those at the True Spirit Realm.


    But up to now, Zhao Feng¡¯s seventh level was only starting to be created.


    ¡°Oh yea, Vice Head Li, I need you to help me with something.¡± Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something.


    ¡°What do you need?¡±


    Vice Head Li was extremely respectful and he led Zhao Feng into the Central Division for a more private talk.


    Normal disciples didn¡¯t have such treatment.


    ¡°There¡¯s two things. I first want to set a Clan mission.¡±


    Zhao Feng wrote the names of several materials on piece of paper. They were all needed to repair the Yin Shadow Cloak.


    Although Zhao Feng could also find these himself, it was much simpler to buy them since he had a large amount of money.


    Many higher ups of the Clan would set a mission and they would make disciples get the resources they need.


    Zhao Feng decided to set a mission.


    Vice Head Li looked and the list and was surprised: ¡°The value of these materials amount up to a large sum.¡±


    ¡°I know, it¡¯ll cost hundreds of thousands of primal crystal stones.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t mind. The Clan had given him 8000 low grade primal crystal stones, which was worth 800,000 substandard primal crystal stones.


    The currency used most was substandard primal crystal stones and only high class exchanges would use low grade primal crystal stones.


    ¡°Ok, since you¡¯ve got a lot of primal crystal stones, I can put this mission up for you.¡±


    Vice Head Li was extremely decisive.


    To set the mission cost a certain amount of primal crystal stones and contribution points. This was the fee to find the resources. No one would do anything for free.


    Zhao Feng then told Vice Head Li that he wanted to return home.


    ¡°Half a month?¡±


    Vice Head Li¡¯s eyebrows slightly furrowed, it was slightly too long. Most Clans were really strict. One would be lucky to have a few days off, much less half a month.


    ¡°Disciple here thinks that I can accept a normal mission and visit home at the same time.¡±


    Zhao Feng had it all thought out. It was indeed too long for a half a month leave, but if he left with the name of going on a ¡®task¡¯, the time limit would be different.


    ¡°Guanjun Province? There¡¯s a mission there, but it has five stars on it.¡± Vice Head Li said.


    Five star missions usually required someone at the 5th Sky.


    Zhao Feng looked at the information and the task was to scout out the trails of a Clan from another area. The ¡®area¡¯ meant that the faction wasn¡¯t from this country.


    If the range was expanded, it might not even be a force in the thirteen countries.


    The continent, after all, was too big. Just the northern continent alone had millions of clans. Who would know where this force came from?


    Task: To scout out the history of this Clan and estimate their strength. If able, find out their intent.


    ¡°No problem, scouting is my forte.¡± Zhao Feng confidently took the mission.


    He was a natural when it came to scouting due to his left eye. Furthermore, he now had an Inheritance item - the Yin Shadow Cloak. This could erase his aura and give him invisibility, giving him the best advantage in scouting.


    After taking the mission.


    Zhao Feng said goodbye to Vice Head Li and he went to find First Elder.


    Both First Elder and Yang Gan were present. The latter had arrived not long ago and he had reported Zhao Feng to First Elder.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, did you finish the target I gave you?¡± First Elder laughed.


    ¡°Done.¡±


    Zhao Feng then told the general story of how he challenged the Core disciples.


    Yang Gan was shocked as he heard this. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng had challenged three Core disciples and almost defeated all of Hai Yun Masters¡¯ disciples.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, do you have a feud with Hai Yun Master?¡± First Elder was slightly stunned.


    ¡°Master, there is indeed a small feud.¡±


    Zhao Feng then told First Elder about Lord Guanjun. This wasn¡¯t much of a secret anyway and Zhao Feng wanted to tell First Elder long ago so that Lord Guanjun would be protected.


    ¡°No wonder. I¡¯ve heard that Hai Yun Master was young back then and he offended many people. However, I want you to not furtherlise the feud.¡± First Elder said.


    ¡°Relax, Master. I¡¯m not here for vengeance, Disciple only has one goal and that is to surpass Hai Yun Master and defeat him! Just this!¡± Zhao Feng immediately said his goal.


    First Elder said deeply: ¡°If it¡¯s just this, I have nothing against it.¡±


    He was also slightly happy that he took in this disciples. It seemed like the latter placed great importance on friendship and emotions. If Zhao Feng was indeed able to reach that step, he would be overjoyed.


    ¡°Disciple is just worried that Hai Yun Master might not let me grow and might even take it out on Xu Ran and co.¡± Zhao Feng immediately told him his worries.


    ¡°Relax, with me here, Hai Yun Master wouldn¡¯t dare to attack you and taking it out on friends and family is forbidden in the Clan.¡±


    A light flashed in First Elders¡¯ eyes.


    ¡°But your Master, I, can¡¯t interfere with the competition between the younger generation.¡± First Elder added.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. With First Elders authority and power, he wouldn¡¯t interfere with the youngsters.


    Just like today, Zhao Feng had almost defeated all three disciples of Hai Yun Master, but the latter wouldn¡¯t have interfered.


    With First Elder¡¯s promise, no one related to him would be affected Zhao Feng had nothing to worry about.


    ¡°Hai Yun Master¡¯s aim is to use Bei Moi to suppress me. However, he doesn¡¯t know that in terms of true strength Bei Moi isn¡¯t my match.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    The reason why he didn¡¯t defeat Bei Moi was because he could use the latter as a sharpener.


    While Zhao Feng was growing, Bei Moi was also doing the same. The two had both received inheritances from the Floating Crest Palace.


    With such a good sharpener, how could Hai Yun Master not use it?


    Before he left.


    First Elder warned: ¡°You must come back in half a month¡¯s time for the Three Clan Party.¡±


    Now that Zhao Feng had reached the top three amongst the Core disciples, there was nothing to stop him from going.


    After leaving First Elder, Zhao Feng organised some belongings and he stored them in his interspatial bracelet.


    On the second day.


    Zhao Feng left the Broken Moon Clan.


    As he did so, he realised that both Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan had reached the Ascended Realm and they were on their way to become inner disciples.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. After becoming an inner disciple, they would become important disciples to raise and not an ant that could be casually crushed.


    On the same day, Zhao Feng left.


    Several Elders and the Clan Master gathered.


    ¡°The Lin Moon Clan has sent another invitation. Every Clan only has three nominees this time.¡± The Clan Master said lightly.


    ¡°There¡¯s usually four to five. Why is there so little this time?¡±


    Hai Yun Master was slightly surprised.


    ¡°I heard that the geniuses of the Silver Moon Clan and Lin Moon Clan are extremely powerful this time. One person from each Clan received an ¡®inheritance¡¯ in their respective trials.¡± The Clan Master continued.


    The expressions of the Elders became solemn.


    Both the Lin Moon Clan and Silver Moon Clan had disciples receiving inheritances.


    Usually, every hundred years or so, there would only be one or two disciples to receive an inheritance and the inheritance wasn¡¯t very powerful.


    However, this time every Clan had one person who receive an inheritance.


    The competition would be fierce.

 201 Genius Summi

    Sun Feather City.


    The sun had just started to set and many people had lit their lanterns and closed their shops.


    At this time, an azure haired youth walked into the city, wearing a dark grey cape.


    If this happened during daytime, the youth¡¯s appearance would cause wariness. However, night had come and the youth¡¯s figure didn¡¯t seem to be that outstanding.


    ¡°Sun Feather City hasn¡¯t changed much in one year.¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    Almost no one could recognise him now. Compared to one year ago, Zhao Feng was taller and he had changed dramatically in both appearance and aura.


    When he came closer to the Zhao family¡¯s territory, it was obvious that it was more crowded.


    ¡°When was there so many random people here?¡± Zhao Feng had a weird expression.


    Being one of the three great families of Sun Feather City, the doorway to their territory should be quite.


    Of these people gathered here, it was mainly youths.


    ¡°This year¡¯s ¡®Genius Summit¡¯ doesn¡¯t seem to be as great as last years. Both Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng have left Sun Feather City.¡±


    ¡°Those two are legendary figures. This years Summit was started by ¡®Zhao Linlong¡¯ of the Zhao family. There¡¯s no one who can match him now.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s hard to say for sure. ¡®Xin Fei¡¯ of the Xin family is a rising star who might not be worse than Zhao Linlong.¡±


    There was a crowd gathered here because of this year¡¯s Genius Summit.


    However, not everyone could go inside and spectate. Only a small number were allowed inside and many weren¡¯t allowed entrance.


    However, there was also those who had concealing skills and successfully sneaked inside. The Zhao family wasn¡¯t as heavily guarded as a palace afterall.


    ¡°Genius Summit?¡±


    Zhao Feng calculated the time and he realised that it was indeed the time. The Genius Summit was hosted by the three families.


    In the previous summit, the Zhao family performed exceptionally with three geniuses: Zhao Linlong, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.


    The back mountains of the Zhao family. In front of a man-made pond, there were several stands there with spectators watching.


    Two youths clashed together near the shores of the pond and the wind was blowing about. From the stands came the occasionally cheer.


    Those that could attend the summit were at least at the 4th Rank of the Martial Path and the sounds created from battle weren¡¯t that small.


    There were also several Elders present from the three families, whose cultivation had all reached the 7th Rank.


    In the very front most stand sat several geniuses from the Zhao family, which included Zhao Han, Zhao Qin and Zhao Linlong.


    ¡°Brother Linlong, no one will be able to compete with you now.¡± Zhao Qin smiled and said.


    ¡°Qiu Mengyu of the Qiu family and Xin Fei of the Xin family are far stronger than last year. Especially Xin Fei, although he hasn¡¯t reached the 6th Rank, his battle strength is outstanding.¡±


    Zhao Linlong sat at the centre and he was far more mature than before. Through last years experience, his attitude was far more calmer.


    Being the host at this summit, he didn¡¯t dare to be overconfident.


    After every spar he would comment on which areas could be improved and would be right every time, making others admire him.


    As time passed, the battles became more and more intense.


    At last, two of the Great geniuses, Zhao Linlong and Qiu Mengyu appeared.


    When they went up, no one was able to fight back apart from one person.


    This was the scar-faced youth of the Xin family - Xin Fei.


    The latter¡¯s sword skills were deadly and he had even trained a high tier skill to the peak level. Before him, no one could exchange more than three moves.


    ¡°Why do I feel this year¡¯s Summit is somewhat boring?¡± Zhao Han and Zhao Qin exchanged glances.


    ¡°Of the 5 Great geniuses, three have left. This years Summit is destined to be uncomparable to last years.¡± Zhao Qin sighed.


    Everyone that had attended last years Summit would have a similar feeling.


    Not only was there not many true prodigies here, there weren¡¯t any expectations or dark horses.


    Thinking back to last years summit where there was surprise and shock at every corner, there were only three people who were ok this year - Zhao Linlong, Qiu Mengyu and Xin Fei.


    Of the 5 Great geniuses, these three were low ranked.


    Finally, the summit had reached a climax. The placings between Zhao Linlong, Qiu Mengyu and Xin Fei started to become certain.


    Only the three of them had the right to enter the ¡®Great geniuses¡¯. Everyone else was a full level lower. Qiu Mengyu and Xin Fei first fought.


    The former was the beauty of Sun Feather City and she had recently reached the 6th Rank of the Martial Path. Xin Fei¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak 5th rank and he had immense battle power. Every sword strike had its own feeling.


    ¡°This Xin Fei seems to be affected by ¡®Xin Wuheng¡¯ and he could be something.¡±


    Zhao Chi¡¯s eyebrows rose and he went into deep thought, but he couldn¡¯t understand. At his level, he couldn¡¯t even touch the ¡®insights¡¯. One needed to have these ¡®insights¡¯ to train Holy Martial arts.


    Back then both Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng had this.


    Slicing Cloud Pierce!


    Xin Fei exclaimed and his sword became a red glow that seemed to be able to slice through the clouds.


    Shua!


    Qiu Mengyu¡¯s inner strength protection was broken through. It was obvious that Xin Fei had restrained his strength.


    No one had thought that Xin Fei would be able to win so quickly. Next was the final battle between Xin Fei and Zhao Linlong.


    The battle between the two was intense and the two figures crossed and interweaved. At the end, the two were stepping onto the pond and fighting.


    The spectator¡¯s couldn¡¯t help but cluck their tongues and cheer.


    Miao miao!


    Inside the Zhao families stand suddenly came a weird sound.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Chi and co., who were all focused on the battle, heard this and their expressions suddenly changed: Who was it?


    An azure haired, one eyed youth appeared on the Zhao families stand and he had a small grey cat the size of a palm sitting on his shoulder.


    This person had appeared behind them without sound or scent. If it wasn¡¯t because of the cat, they wouldn¡¯t have even realised.


    ¡°Zhao Chi and Zhao Qin, it¡¯s only been one year and you¡¯ve forgotten me?¡± The youth let out a light laugh.


    ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re Zhao Feng!¡± Zhao Chi and co. exclaimed as they recognised the latter.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! He¡¯s that Zhao Feng?¡±


    The Zhao families¡¯ stand broke out into commotion and they even caught the attention of other spectators.


    Soon, more and more people recognised the azure haired one eyed youth.


    ¡°When did Zhao Feng become one eyed and when did his hair turn azure?¡± Everyone was surprised.


    Right at this moment.


    The battle on the pond came to an end as both Zhao Linlong and Xin Fei took one hit from each other. A gash that went straight to the bone appeared on Zhao Linlong¡¯s shoulder as the latter fell into the pond.


    ¡°Thanks!¡± Xin Fei landed onto the shore and scanned the crowd with victory.


    Zhao Linlong returned back to the stand with dim eyes.


    ¡°You¡­. ¡±


    Suddenly, Zhao Linlong¡¯s eyes landed on a youth.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! You¡¯ve appeared at last!¡±


    Xin Fei¡¯s eyes flashed as battle intent surged from him. More and more eyes started to gather on the azure haired youth.


    ¡°He¡¯s back.¡±


    The high level of the Zhao family couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    Within the stand.


    Zhao Linlong had complex emotions and his voice was hoarse: ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯ve come back just at the right time. You can get the first for our Zhao family.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I need a real, true opponent.¡± Xin Fei challenged Zhao Feng.


    ¡°No need, I was just on the way.¡± Zhao Feng faintly smiled and rejected.


    At his level, it would be bullying those that attended the summit, even though he was younger than most here.


    Rejected?


    Everyone was surprised, but only Zhao Linlong realised that Zhao Feng¡¯s aura was immeasurable and with the latter¡¯s strength, it would be disdainful to fight.


    Teng sou sou -----


    Just as Xin Fei was about to speak several figures appeared.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. The Genius summit of Sun Feather City is disappointing!¡±


    A total of three youths landed on the grounds and the one in the middle wore a black robe and he gave off an aura at the peak 6th rank. The two youths next to him had also reached the 6th Rank.


    ¡°Who!?¡±


    The crowd exclaimed.


    ¡°Not good! There¡¯s geniuses from the ¡®Maple City¡¯. The youth in the front is ¡®Yu Tianhua¡¯ and he has apparently beaten all the younger generation in the nearby cities and he is considered undefeatable in the younger generation.¡± Zhao Linlong roared.


    He had fought with this Yu Tianhua half a month ago and was defeated by the latter within ten moves.


    Yu Tianhua!


    A few of the geniuses present had heard of this name.


    ¡°Sun Feather City, send out your strongest genius and fight me!¡± Yu Tianhua coldly scanned the crowd.


    Xin Fei laughed coldly and charged forward. Yu Tianhua laughed in disdain and he waved his two hands forward. A black light appeared which gave off a chaotic aura.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng realised that Yu Tianhua¡¯s skills seemed to have the attributes of the ¡®Wicked¡¯ path. He guessed that this Yu Tianhua should have trained an incomplete wicked half-Holy martial art.


    Pah!


    The two exchanged several blows and Xin Fei was sent flying with one palm.


    ¡°How is this possible!? You¡¯re not at the 6th Rank!¡± Xin Fei said in shock.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ that¡¯s right! At least you have good eyesight.¡±


    Yu Tianhua laughed and a black inner strength appeared.


    7th Rank of the Martial path!


    The hearts of everyone clenched as they felt a pressure bear down upon them. Even the Elders overseeing the summit were shocked. From Yu Tianhua¡¯s current display of strength, it seemed that even they might not be his match.


    ¡°Who else wants to fight? How bout this? Send your strongest three at once!¡± Yu Tianhua stood at the centre of the grounds and laughed.


    At this point in time, the geniuses of Sun Feather City all had ugly expressions. These people came here on purpose to crush all the geniuses of Sun Feather City under their feet!

 202 The whereabouts of Zhao Yufei

    Within the grounds of the summit, Yu Tianhua laughed arrogantly.


    Of the three families, many had already started cursing and swearing.


    The Elders watching had the intent to make their moves, but they were hard-pressed. They were of the older generation after all. Even if they beat Yu Tianhua and co., it would lose face for the three families.


    ¡°Everyone attack!¡±


    A few youths who had reached the boiling point exploded and charged at Yu Tianhua and co.


    Peng! Peng! Pah¡­


    However, before they even came close, they were sent flying by Yu Tianhua¡¯s inner strength. When one reached the 7th rank of the Martial path, they could attack through the air.


    ¡°Hahaha! The geniuses of Sun Feather City are useless! Want to fight with more people? Come! I, Yu Tianhua, will take on all of you!¡±


    Yu Tianhua¡¯s became more arrogant the more he fought. Most of the youths were at the 4th and 5th rank of the Martial Path and they weren¡¯t able reach him. In just a short time, ten geniuses of the younger generation had been knocked out.


    Zhao Linlong and co. grinded their teeth, ready to attack.


    ¡°You¡¯re not his match, let me do it.¡± Zhao Feng sighed.


    Under this circumstance, even the Elders of the Zhao family weren¡¯t able to attack. Furthermore, with Yu Tianhua¡¯s strength, normal Elders at the 7th rank were probably not his match.


    Seeing Zhao Feng take the initiative, the eyes of Zhao Linlong and co. lit up. Zhao Feng was the top Great genius of the last Genius summit and he had apparently become a disciple of Lord Guanjun.


    He was a legend within Sun Feather City.


    ¡°Who is this person?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Zhao Feng! The top Great genius from last year. He should have the capabilities to fight Yu Tianhua.¡±


    Many recognised Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, this guy¡¯s very strong!¡± Xin Fei wiped the blood leaking from his mouth and warned.


    Hmm?


    Yu Tianhua and the other two noticed Zhao Feng.


    It was an azure haired one eyed youth, who gave off an immeasurable aura.


    Yu Tianhua¡¯s smile faded and he took back his over confidence as he stared at Zhao Feng. He felt that every action from the youth in front of him brought him pressure.


    He only had this feeling from his mysterious master. Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were so sharp that they seemed to pierce his heart. Just his eyes alone could bring him pressure.


    ¡°Hahaha! One eyed? Kid! Your appearance might be able to scare children, why don¡¯t you become a one-eyed bandit?¡± The two next to Yu Tianhua laughed.


    Zhao Feng might have worn an eyepatch, but his looks weren¡¯t bad nor savage. With his height and azure hair, he seemed more wicked.


    ¡°Three retards! I¡¯ll give you one chance to fuck off out of the Zhao family become I count from ten to zero.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes contained coldness and killing intent.


    His azure hair suddenly blew in the wind.


    The hearts of the spectators shook as they couldn¡¯t help but be attracted to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°It¡¯s that aura¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Chi on the stand caught something.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s casual actions had contained the intent of wind and this had appeared one year ago with both Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.


    Pro!


    This person was definitely a pro!


    Yu Tianhua and the other two were stunned.


    ¡°Ten¡­ nine¡­. Eight¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng started to count.


    The youths of the three families held their breaths and revealed expressions of excitement. At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s dominance had suppressed the opponent.


    ¡°He¡¯s so cool!¡±


    ¡°How can he have such beautiful hair? I want to dye my hair too.¡±


    The hearts of many girls sped up. Zhao Feng¡¯s hair was pure azure and it had a refreshing feeling to it.


    Even Qiu Mengyu, the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City was envious and curious: ¡°How can a male have such pretty hair? I remember that his hair used to be black¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Eight¡­. Seven¡­. Six¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were as sharp as a knife as he stared at the three.


    ¡°Brat, don¡¯t be arrogant!¡± Yu Tianhua cursed.


    Truthfully, he had been stunned by Zhao Feng¡¯s aura, but he wasn¡¯t willing to leave with this. He had destroyed the geniuses of every city nearby, how could he leave like this in front of this brat?


    However. Just as Yu Tianhua spoke, the situation changed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice came to a sudden stop.


    Shua!


    In a flash, Zhao Feng had appeared right next to the three. Without saying another word, Zhao Feng kicked out.


    What!?


    He didn¡¯t even finish counting yet!


    Everyone was surprised and the three weren¡¯t able to react in time.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng kicked one of the youths at the 6th rank.


    Plop!


    The youth screamed as he fell into the pond.


    Zhao Feng then immediately kicked at another person.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    The youth circulated his inner strength and tried to resist.


    Peng!


    All his efforts did nothing as he was also kicked into the pond.


    In the blink of an eye, two youths at the 6th rank fell into the pond.


    This kid¡¯s weird!


    Yu Tianhua cursed within his heart. Zhao Feng¡¯s actions contained an indescribable feeling. Even if he could see the action, he couldn¡¯t dodge it.


    Yu Tianhua only felt this from his master, could this brat have reached the Holy martial path as well?


    Shocked, he furiously circulated his inner strength.


    However, it couldn¡¯t stop Zhao Feng a tiny bit. An azure glow appeared on the latter¡¯s body, which suppressed his inner strength.


    Not good!


    This is True Force!


    Only those at the Holy martial path could have True Force!


    ¡°Stop!¡± Yu Tianhua exclaimed.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s leg stopped right before his chest with a smile.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t counted to zero yet¡­ you don¡¯t stick to your promises!¡± Yu Tianhua argued.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng sent him into the pond with one kick and laughed coldly: ¡°Me counting from ten to zero is based on the fact that you would cooperate. If you have any thoughts of resistance, I will make you regret it for eternity.¡±


    In just a short instance, Yu Tianhua and co. had been kicked into the pond. The geniuses of the three families had hanging mouths.


    Someone at the 7th rank had just been defeated by one simple kick?


    The Elders watching clucked their tongues.


    ¡°Someone go pull them up.¡± Zhao Feng ordered.


    Soon, there were several youths that pulled the three back onto land.


    Yu Tianhua and co. had all received one kick each from Zhao Feng and their limbs had no power - they couldn¡¯t even walk.


    ¡°I¡¯m giving you one last chance to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.¡± Zhao Feng surveyed the three.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    Yu Tianhua laughed coldly: ¡°My Master is at the Holy martial path. If you dare to harm a single hair of mine, the Zhao family will have nowhere to go in the Cloud Country.¡±


    He admitted that he wasn¡¯t Zhao Feng¡¯s opponent, but it was impossible for him to kneel down and beg for forgiveness,


    Holy martial path!


    The expressions of the older generation changed dramatically.


    ¡°Hehe! What big words? It looks like you still don¡¯t know who are the true sovereigns of the Cloud Country.¡± Zhao Feng laughed lightly.


    Hearing this, Yu Tianhua¡¯s heart shook - could Zhao Feng touch that level?


    ¡°Since you¡¯re not being obedient, don¡¯t blame me for crippling your cultivation.¡± Zhao Feng thrust his palm towards Yu Tianhua.


    Ka-cha!


    Yu Tianhua¡¯s meridian¡¯s broke inch by inch.


    ¡°Stop! I¡­ ¡± Yu Tianhua screamed and tried to ask for forgiveness, but it was too late.


    Zhao Feng had only used a sizzle of True Force to destroy his meridians and dantian.


    In the blink of an eye, Yu Tianhua had become useless. The spectators felt a bone chilling coldness.


    The most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City, Qiu Mengyu, suddenly remembered how she had tried to bait Zhao Feng. Thinking about it now, she let out a breath.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry! We¡¯re willing to beg for forgiveness!¡±


    The other two started to smash their heads against the ground.


    ¡°Now fuck off! I already gave you two chances, if you dare resist¡­ ¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡±


    The two youths at the 6th rank dragged Yu Tianhua and sprinted out of the Zhao family.


    Only till Yu Tianhua left the Zhao family¡¯s territory did the former say through gritted teeth: ¡°Zhao Feng! You wait! My Master won¡¯t forgive you¡­ ¡±


    Before, the three didn¡¯t dare to say anything. Yu Tianhua was scared that if he did, this would be an excuse for Zhao Feng to kill him.


    The back mountains of the Zhao family. The last accident had been taken care of by Zhao Feng.


    The geniuses all over Sun Feather City glanced at this legend with admiration, fear and respect.


    The summit came to an end.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t participate in the summit, his appearance outshone everyone else.


    On the same night.


    The family head and Elders created a banquet for Zhao Feng.


    In the banquet.


    Zhao Linlong and co. were lucky enough to attend and they looked at how Zhao Feng was treated by the family head and Elders with complex emotions.


    The family head Zhao Tiancang had the jiggles. Thinking about how he had mistreated Zhao Feng back then, his heart wasn¡¯t able to keep still.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s current strength, it would be easy to get rid of him.


    Luckily, Zhao Yusong seemed to be on good terms with Zhao Feng. It was the former who had realised Zhao Feng¡¯s potential and he had helped the latter many times.


    Zhao Feng obviously wouldn¡¯t forget the help he had received back then and he gave Zhao Yusong a few Marrow Cleansing Pills, as well as some half Mortal Mortal skills. Although these weren¡¯t worth much to Zhao Feng, it was a treasure in the outside world.


    Zhao Yusong was happy, happy that he such good eyes.


    ¡°Yu Tianhua seems to have a master at the Holy martial path behind him. By crippling his cultivation¡­ ¡±


    The family head and Elders felt worried.


    ¡°Holy Martial path? We¡¯ll see.¡± Zhao Feng laughed coldly.


    The family head and co. weren¡¯t at a high enough level to know who had the highest authority within the Cloud Country.


    At the end of the banquet, Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something.


    ¡°You mean Zhao Yufei?¡±


    The family head and Elders exchanged glances as smiles appeared on their faces.

 203 Slave

    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t expect the high level of the Zhao family would actually know about Zhao Yufei¡¯s whereabouts.


    Back then when Quan Chen and Lord Guanjun fought, Zhao Yufei had disappeared without a trace. But Zhao Feng had scanned around and he found that Zhao Yufei had been taken away by her one-armed grandfather.


    The family head Zhao Tiancang spoke: ¡°If you came half a month earlier, you would have met Yufei.¡±


    Half a month earlier?


    Zhao Feng was stunned, this meant that Zhao Yufei had returned.


    ¡°When Sister Yufei came back, she was like a goddess. Even Qiu Mengyu, the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City, was below her in terms of looks.¡± Zhao Linlong and the other younger generation all sighed.


    Thinking to back then, everyone had respectful expressions.


    ¡°Oh? What did Yufei do?¡± Zhao Feng asked curiously.


    Zhao Tiancang immediately told the story.


    It happened half a month ago.


    Zhao Yufei had returned to the Zhao family because it was on her way.


    A year later, her looks were goddess like. She was already on par with Qiu Mengyu a year ago and now, one year later, she had changed again.


    ¡°At that time, one of the disciples of the Xin family was taught a lesson by Yufei. After that both Elders from the Qiu and Xin family asked for marriage, but they were easily defeated by Yufei.¡± Zhao Yusong sighed.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s performance half a month ago was too shocking. Of course, only a limited number of people knew this. After that, both the Qiu and Xin family became more respectful towards the Zhao Feng.


    ¡°No wonder.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng already had his assumptions.


    Only when one reached the Ascended Realm would they change dramatically.


    If he wasn¡¯t wrong, Zhao Yufei had probably joined another faction. After all, there were a total of thirteen Clans in the thirteen countries.


    For the next day or two, Zhao Feng remained at the Zhao family, staying with his parents and would occasionally give pointers to Zhao Linlong and co. Even the family head and Elders would come over for pointers.


    Zhao Feng obviously didn¡¯t reject them - this was the place he had grew up from after all.


    On the third day.


    The Zhao family received a bad piece of news.


    ¡°Yu Tianhua¡¯s mysterious master has arrived at the Sun Feather City.¡±


    The family head Zhao Tiancang panicked and he hurried over.


    Zhao Feng spoke: ¡°What¡¯s there to panic about? Let them come.¡±


    The true power that controlled the Cloud Country was the Broken Moon Clan.


    For Zhao Feng, this was his own territory. Even if the opponent was higher than him in cultivation, they would have to be wary. Furthermore, from Yu Tianhua¡¯s skills, it didn¡¯t seem that the opponent was that strong.


    On the fourth day.


    The high level of the Zhao family sent over more news: ¡°The mysterious master of Yu Tianhua has been treated by the Qiu and Xin family.¡±


    This news made the family head and co. even more worried.


    Half a month ago, Zhao Yufei had stunned both the Qiu and Xin family, causing the two to lose face.


    Now, the two families had sucked up to someone at the Holy martial path.


    ¡°Haha, does the Qiu and Xin family want to be removed from Sun Feather City?¡± Zhao Feng had a bright smile.


    From the mortals point of view, the Holy martial path was legendary, so the two families were extremely confident right now.


    How would they know that the Holy martial path was only a start?


    On the same night.


    ¡°Not good! The Elders of the Qiu and Xin family as well as the mysterious person have come to visit the Zhao family!¡±


    Panic spread amongst the high level.


    ¡°Let them in.¡± Zhao Feng casually spat out a few words.


    In the great hall of the Zhao family.


    The family head and Elders were on edge, but they forcefully controlled themselves.


    ¡°Family head.¡± Zhao Feng suddenly spoke.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, you have something to say?¡± Zhao Tiancang was very respectful.


    ¡°Have you ever thought of making the Zhao family the only great family in the Sun Feather City?¡± Zhao Feng smiled.


    ¡°What!? You mean¡­ ¡± The Elders and family head were shocked.


    Zhao Feng appetite was far too big - to dominate the Sun Feather City?


    ¡°The Qiu and Xin family both have solid foundations - this is especially so for the Qiu family. They are apparently related to a big family in the Capital. Furthermore, forces such as the Guanjun Palace don¡¯t wish to see a lone force controlling a certain area.¡± Zhao Yusong shook his head and sighed.


    It didn¡¯t matter whether or not if the Zhao family had the strength or not. Even if they did, they would face strong resistance.


    ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing, all of this can¡¯t stop us.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed and he didn¡¯t speak anymore.


    Just at this moment, the sound of footsteps appeared from without the great hall. It could be heard that they were charging in.


    ¡°Who dares harm my disciple? Come out and go to your death.¡± A deep voice echoed around the great hall.


    The next instant, an aura belonging to the Ascended Realm appeared.


    Boom!


    The family head and Elders found it hard to breath due to the immense pressure. The high authority of the Qiu and Xin family surrounding a white bearded old man stepped into the hall.


    ¡°Who is Zhao Feng?¡± The white bearded old man surveyed the hall.


    His eyes landed on Zhao Feng, who had a confident smile.


    ¡°You are¡­ ¡±


    His expression changed as he saw Zhao Feng. He could tell that Zhao Feng¡¯s aura was even stronger than his.


    ¡°Haha, even a measly cultivator at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm dares to cause trouble for me?¡± Zhao Feng laughed and shook his head.


    The white bearded old man¡¯s expression changed dramatically as his True Force surged: ¡°Brat! This is the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s territory. How dare you come here and do what you please?¡±


    Broken Moon Clan?


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng paused.


    ¡°Brat, scared now? I won¡¯t trouble you. As long as you apologise, I can let this go.¡± The white bearded old man said with absolute confidence.


    Even if Zhao Feng was from another Clan, they would have to be obedient because this was the territory of the Broken Moon Clan.


    Hearing this, both the Qiu and Xin family looked at each other. Let him go?


    The white bearded old man scanned them coldly. The brat in front of him probably had higher cultivation level than him - he needed a stage to step down.


    That Yu Tianhua was only a disciple casually taken by him and he was used mainly to work for him. But to offend someone at the Holy martial path for him? Not worth it.


    ¡°Haha, Broken Moon Clan? Seeing how old you are and still running around, you¡¯re just probably a slave of the Outer Mission Division.¡± Zhao Feng smiled brightly.


    ¡°What!? You~ ¡±


    The white bearded old man¡¯s expression changed dramatically - he didn¡¯t think that his status and identity would be found out by Zhao Feng.


    That¡¯s right. e was like Lord Guanjun, sent out by the Outer Mission Division into the mortal world to work. These members were sent out usually because of low potential.


    Lord Guanjun and Lord Cangtie were these type people.


    ¡°Could it be you¡¯re also¡­ ?¡±


    Cold sweat appeared from the white bearded old man¡¯s forehead.


    Dang!


    Zhao Feng took out a jade slip and threw it onto the ground. Then he coldly looked at the white bearded old man.


    On the jade slip was the word ¡®Core¡¯.


    Core disciple!


    The white bearded old man¡¯s face instantly went pale as he hurriedly spoke in fear: ¡°This little one didn¡¯t recognise Mount Tai.¡±


    After saying this, he picked the jade slip off the ground and handed it back to Zhao Feng.


    Being a member of the Outer Mission Division, the white bearded old man wasn¡¯t able to reach the Ascended Realm by the age of thirty and a Core disciple of the inner disciples was an existence that he couldn¡¯t hope to touch.


    Although the white bearded old man wasn¡¯t in the Clan often, he still knew of things that went on. Core disciples most likely had Elders backing them up and these people weren¡¯t someone that he could afford to offend.


    Seeing such a situation, the three families of Sun Feather City were stunned.


    ¡°What¡­ what the heck is going on?¡±


    The Qiu and Xin family panicked, whereas the Zhao family looked towards Zhao Feng with joy. No one would have thought that this would be the end result.


    The so called master at the Holy martial path had begged for forgiveness from Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Cripple the cultivation of these people. From today onwards, Sun Feather City shall only have the Zhao family.¡± Zhao Feng ordered.


    Zhao Yufei had already showed them her power half a month ago and these people still had thoughts to fight back.


    ¡°Yes, yes.¡±


    The white bearded old man was not sad. On the contrary, he was happy. This was the perfect chance to redeem himself.


    A shocking scene then appeared. With lightning speed, the white bearded old man beat up all the high level of the Qiu and Xin family and crippled their cultivation.


    This caused the high level of the Zhao family to take in a cold breath. They had finally seen how terrifying someone at the Ascended Realm was.


    And someone with this power was willing to take orders from Zhao Feng.


    On that night.


    The Qiu and Xin family were removed from Sun Feather City.


    Over half of the high authority from each family had their cultivations crippled. Even if they stayed in Sun Feather City, they wouldn¡¯t have the strength to resist the Zhao family.


    The Qiu family left Sun Feather City and apparently went to the main family in the Capital, whereas the Xin family decided to pledge their loyalty towards the Zhao family.


    In one night.


    The entire situation of the Sun Feather City changed.


    Zhao Feng and the white bearded old man coldly looked at this. In their eyes, the rise and fall of the mortal world was like ants moving around.


    ¡°Why would your disciple have a skill of the wicked path, even though it was coarse and only a half-Mortal skill?¡± Zhao Feng asked casually.


    The white bearded old man spoke out in fear: ¡°That skill was found by me in the Sky Cloud Forest. It¡¯s also there that there were signs of other factions.¡±


    ¡°Other factions? This means that you¡¯re the reporter for the mission then?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, it was I that found traces of other factions here. Lord Guanjun is also helping, but the people he sent out never returned.¡± The white bearded old man explained.


    This coincident?


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised - he didn''t think that Lord Guanjun had also participated in this.


    ¡°According to what I know, this mission is 5 stars. You¡­ could you be the one that took the mission?¡± The white bearded old man asked carefully.

 204 Ancient temple

    ¡°That¡¯s right, just me.¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced at the white bearded old man and he could guess what the latter was thinking. One would normally have to be at the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm to take a 5 star mission.


    Zhao Feng obviously hadn¡¯t reached it and he was alone.


    ¡°There¡¯s been sightings of those who were at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm. Although we won¡¯t fight them, the risk is still extremely high and it has the possibility of being promoted to a 6th star even higher.¡± The white bearded old man added, as if wanting Zhao Feng to go back.


    He first thought was that the Clan would place greater importance on this mission since this involved factions from other countries and at least send two cultivators at the 5th Sky or even someone at the 6th Sky.


    However, this mission was accepted by someone of the younger generation.


    ¡°The Clan has its own reasons for sending me.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words contained a self confidence, which surprised the white bearded old man. Thinking about it, the Clan usually didn¡¯t allow people to take higher star missions than their respective cultivation, especially when the mission was as sensitive and dangerous as this one.


    But the Clan had agreed! This was something to be suspicious of.


    The white bearded old man couldn¡¯t help but glance at Zhao Feng a few more times. The latter was young, but he had a calmness and decisiveness that couldn¡¯t be seen anywhere else.


    ¡°I must complete the mission in ten days.¡± Zhao Feng continued.


    ¡°Ten days? That¡¯ll be hard. The traces of the factions are deep in the Sky Cloud Forest. Finding their trail is like trying to find a needle in the ocean.¡± The white bearded old man said.


    ¡°The Three Clan Party will start then, so¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s decision was made. At the same time, he believed his scouting ability was definitely his forte.


    With a God¡¯s left eye, he was the best in terms of scouting.


    ¡°Three Clan Party?¡±


    The white bearded old man looked at Zhao Feng differently. He obviously knew what it meant by participating in the Three Clan Party.


    This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s strength amongst Core disciples was around the top. After that, the two started to discuss about the mission.


    The white bearded old man took out a map with markings, these markings were where there were traces of ¡®factions from other countries¡¯.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng felt that the landscape on the map was familiar.


    Suddenly.


    Another map appeared in his mind.


    Back when he was in the Guanjun Palace, there was a mission to slay some bandits and this area had appeared but because of the mysterious hooded figures appearance, the mission came to a sudden end. However, not long after, the mysterious hooded figure controlled a Lord tier deadly beast and led a beast horde to attack the Guanjun Province City.


    And this time.


    The trails also started from this place.


    ¡°Could the two be related?¡± Zhao Feng started to think.


    He didn¡¯t know how strong that hooded figure was because at that time, his cultivation was limited. However, based on pure instinct, Zhao Feng felt that the mysterious hooded figure was stronger than Lord Guanjun.


    The pair of crystal blue eyes left a deep impression on him.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Zhao Feng asked out of nowhere.


    ¡°Old man is called Bai Yunpeng, but you can call me old man white beard.¡± The white bearded old man smiled awkwardly.


    Zhao Feng had only asked for his name now, meaning that his existence had been technically ignored before.


    ¡°Old man white beard, I¡¯ll take care of the mission myself this time.¡± Zhao Feng ordered.


    ¡°But¡­ ¡±


    The old man was surprised. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need his help on such a hard mission?


    ¡°You can leave now, I¡¯ve been to that place before.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand impatiently.


    ¡°Yes, yes.¡±


    The white bearded old man didn¡¯t dare to say anything anymore and he disappeared out of sight.


    Sending the old man away with his eyes, a smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips.


    On the same night.


    Both the figures of the old man and Zhao Feng disappeared.


    Night.


    The white bearded old man¡¯s figure flew through the air as he left Sun Feather City.


    ¡°Hmph! This brat¡¯s either arrogant or smart to not ask for my help.¡± The white bearded old man murmured to himself as he headed towards the direction of the Sky Cloud Forest.


    After entering the Sky Cloud Forest, the white bearded old man¡¯s speed didn¡¯t decrease - it was obvious that he was familiar with these areas.


    He didn¡¯t know that there was a shadow-like being following him


    Shua!


    A cloak shook, revealing a half transparent figure.


    ¡°As expected.¡± Zhao Feng laughed coldly.


    His left eye could see up to hundreds of yards away and he could see how and where the white bearded old man¡¯s True Force was circulated.


    If he focused closely enough, Zhao Feng could even see the organs. After reaching the Ascended Realm, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye¡¯s power also rose.


    The azure light inside the dimension of his left eye was now four inches long and it spun continuously. If one looked closely, they would realise that the True Force in the depths of the white bearded old man¡¯s dantian was black, different from normal cultivators.


    ¡°He¡¯s training an evil skill and he has been poisoned.¡± Zhao Feng clearly saw the situation.


    No one could hide in front of Zhao Feng as long as they were below the True Spirit Realm.Of course, this was under the fact that Zhao Feng used his left eye, but under normal situations, he wouldn¡¯t do so.


    However, this mission was not normal. Yu Tianhua¡¯s wicked skill was already suspicious and out of cautiousness, he had scouted out white beard and the result had stunned him. It was clear that the white bearded old man had betrayed the Broken Moon Clan.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng decided to let the old man go and follow him. With his cultivation and Yin Shadow Cloak, it was simple to follow him.


    Zhao Feng realised something else - the Yin Shadow Cloak¡¯s invisibility effect was doubled at night!


    Even if he didn¡¯t circulate his True Force, the cloak would still have a certain amount of invisibility power, allowing him to merge into the darkness better. After entering the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest, the white bearded old man¡¯s speed suddenly increased.


    A black coloured True Force surged from within his body and the aura he released rose to another level.


    Peak 3rd Sky!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed, but he didn¡¯t mind. This would save him time.


    Two to three hours later.


    White beard passed through a stream.


    Hmm!?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up - he had been here before. It was the time where he had met the mysterious hooded figure


    ¡°It looks like the trail¡¯s here. Why would the mysterious hooded figure stop us here that time and then control a beast horde and attack the Guanjun Province City?¡±


    Zhao Feng seemed to realise that there was a problem here.


    After passing the stream, white beard¡¯s speed decreased and his expression became cautious. The journey had started to get dangerous.


    There were high tier deadly beasts nearby and even Lord tier deadly beasts also called Yao beasts.


    Yao beasts were existences that had surpassed Peak tier deadly beasts. For example, the Illusion Fox that Zhao Feng had met in the trial, which could influence the minds of Core disciples, was one. Other examples were the Yao Beast King, the Vine King, existences that were at the True Spirit Realm.


    However, because Zhao Feng had his left eye and Yin Shadow Cloak, his journey was far easier than white beard in front.


    Suddenly!


    White beard came to a halt!


    Shua! Shua!


    From the trees in front appeared two black figures, releasing auras at the 4th and 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm respectively.


    ¡°White beard, you¡¯re back already?¡± One of the black figures said with wary and caution.


    ¡°I¡¯ve come to report news that the Broken Moon Clan has sent a Core disciple.¡± White beard answered.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you lure him here?¡± The other black figure said.


    ¡°That brat is extremely arrogant and wanted to work alone.¡± White beard snickered.


    ¡°Ok! You go back now, it¡¯s not bad to control a Core disciple.¡±


    The two figures soon merged back into the darkness.


    White beard didn¡¯t dare stay and he immediately returned the way he came from.


    The two figures seemed to be very proficient at hiding and they merged into the night. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was still able to catch one of the figures heading towards the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest.


    ¡°Haha, it succeeded.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately chased the figure with the help of the Yin Shadow Cloak. The remaining black figure didn¡¯t detect Zhao Feng at all and he didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng had just sneaked past him.


    The pursuit continued.


    Ever since then the black figure passed several other figures and the further they went, the more terrifying the aura was.


    At a certain point in time.


    A dim ancient temple appeared within an illusion array.


    If it wasn''t because of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, he wouldn¡¯t be able to see the array nor the ancient temple.


    ¡°Stop.¡±


    On top of a tree in front of the ancient temple was a hooded figure with a pair of crystal blue eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat!


    The person on the tree was the mysterious hooded figure. After the black figure reported the news to the hooded figure, the former left.


    The hooded figure stood on top of the tree and surveyed the surroundings with a pair of crystal blue eyes.


    Zhao Feng only felt a wave of mental energy sweep over. He instinctively circulated his bloodline power and circulated the invisibility power of the Yin Shadow Cloak to the max.


    At this point in time, his figure was as transparent as the air.


    Seeing that there was nothing suspicious, the mysterious hooded figure nodded his head and became silent.


    ¡°He¡¯s not entering the ancient temple? A Core disciple isn¡¯t important enough for him to report?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, but the mysterious hooded figure didn¡¯t move and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare be rash because the latter gave him an indescribable wariness.


    He circulated his left eye and he tried to inspect the hooded figure.


    Hmm?


    The mysterious hooded figure seemed to sense something and immediately stood up before glancing in Zhao Feng¡¯s direction. The latter was shocked and immediately glanced away. Zhao Feng then felt another surge of mental energy gather around him.


    ¡°This hooded figure seems to be very proficient in mental energy. Furthermore, his eyes are different as well.¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    He was certain that he had met someone with similar powers to him and the opponent seemed to be very skilled in the way of mental energy and he could use it to control beasts.


    At this moment, an invisible clash had begun!

 205 Within

    The pair of crystal blue eyes scanned the area where Zhao Feng was. Strands of mental energy extended like a spider web.


    Zhao Feng felt the ground below him shake and shatter suddenly, becoming an abyss. In the air, several fireballs, that weighed several tons, flew at him. The destruction they could cause could even threaten the lives of those at the True Spirit Realm.


    In front of life and death a green glow appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eyeball and the azure light in the dimension of his left eye spun quicker.


    Hu!


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath as the illusion in front of him shattered. His back was covered in cold sweat.


    The hooded figure¡¯s illusion had almost caused Zhao Feng to fall for it.


    One had to know, even the Illusion Fox, whose forte was illusions, couldn¡¯t affect Zhao Feng.


    ¡°No! It isn¡¯t just a simple illusion, it¡¯s also a mental energy attack. If my left eye didn¡¯t dissolve the attack, I would have been mentally injured, which is even more terrifying than being physically injured¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng started to analyse the attack of the hooded figure just then.


    His opponent was efficient at utilising mental energy and the illusions that he created were almost real.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng had a clear estimate of the hooded figures strength. The latter was at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm at least and his mental energy was comparable to the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Was it just me?¡±


    The hooded figure had a questioning look on his face. He was extremely confident in his instincts - it was an ability that those who trained in the mental energy had.


    He had sent an illusion into that area just then, but there was no response.


    Even someone at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm would be injured when they faced this attack.


    ¡°The hooded figure shouldn¡¯t be able to see me.¡± Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    Without a doubt, the Yin Shadow Cloak was an Inheritance grade treasure. At night, the invisibility effect doubled and it allowed his figure to fully merge in the darkness.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had just used all his bloodline power then and he had activated the invisibility power to the max.


    Miao miao!


    At this critical moment, a small grey cat jumped onto the tree.


    What!?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart literally stopped and he cursed within his heart. That little thieving cat - why did he have to come out now?


    The little thieving cat smiled and it faced the hooded figure.


    ¡°Hmm? A cat that knows invisibility? What species is it?¡± The hooded figure was curious.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat merged into the darkness and it disappeared.


    What the fuck?


    The cat can turn invisibleas well!?


    Zhao Feng was dazed, but thinking about it, cat¡¯s were nocturnal and the little thieving cat had a mysterious background.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on a big tree ten yards away from the hooded figure.


    ¡°This cats pretty interesting, maybe it has a special bloodline¡­ ¡±


    The hooded figure decided to catch the cat. The little thieving cat smiled and spat out a bronze coin from its mouth.


    The coin was thrown into the air by the cat and it kept on spinning before landing back onto its paw.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that the treasure that the cat swallowed during the trial?¡± Zhao Feng stared at the bronze coin.


    The hooded figure didn¡¯t seem to understand what the little thieving cat was doing, but he could see the little thieving cat¡¯s gloating expression.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    He suddenly exclaimed and turned around.


    Qiu Sou -----


    A red light flew from the opposite side of the ancient temple. At that instant, the aura of the True Spirit Realm caused limitless beings to tremble in fear.


    True Spirit Realm aura!


    The hooded figure couldn¡¯t care any less about the weird cat now because the aura had locked onto him.


    The little thieving cat swallowed the coin into its stomach before sitting on the tree, ready to watch a show.


    The red light soon came to a stop midair, and it dissipated revealing a red robed elder and a red haired youth, who was around seventeen to eighteen years old.


    ¡°Master! It was here! Disciple, I, was calculated by them here!¡± The red haired youth pointed at the hooded figure.


    The hooded figure laughed coldly as his crystal blue eyes swept over them, sending a transparent wave.


    The red robed elder¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and he was able to block this attack, but the youth next to him screamed.


    ¡°Hong¡¯er!¡±


    The red robed elder immediately protected the youth and he sent a red sandstorm at the hooded figure.


    Instantly, the ground was scorched black. The hooded figure panicked and retreated, obviously unable to counter a cultivator at the True Spirit Realm.


    If he was hit by that energy head on, he would still die, even if he had reached the peak 7th Sky of the Ascended realm.


    Wah!


    The hooded figure spat out a mouthful of blood and he retreated inside the illusion array.


    ¡°Hmph! So you¡¯re from the ¡®Ancient Shrine¡¯. Being a member of the Thirteen Clan¡¯s, why did you attack Hong¡¯er?¡±


    The red robed elder fed the youth a Spiritual pill and then he entered the ancient temple. From the current situation, it seemed that the the forces from within the ancient temple had not only attacked those from the Broken Moon Clan, they had also fought nearby factions.


    The red haired youth had reached the 5th Sky of the Ascended realm and he would be placed top five within the Broken Moon Clan.


    During the chaos, Zhao Feng had lept onto a hundred yards tall tree. Standing on top of the tree, Zhao Feng could see the situation inside the illusion array.


    The red robed elder was ambushed several times, but because he was at the True Spirit Realm, he instantly slew five to six people.


    Those that were slain were all at the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm at least and they were killed in one move.


    ¡°That is the power of the True Spirit Realm!¡±


    Zhao Feng clucked his tongue.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, an Elder of the Silver Moon Clan is indeed formidable, but can¡¯t you see the ¡®Heart Controlling seed¡¯ in the youth?¡± The hooded figure laughed evilly.


    ¡°What!? Heart Controlling seed?¡±


    The expression of the red robed elder changed dramatically.


    Toook!


    A short knife stabbed into the red robed elder¡¯s chest. It was the red haired youth.


    ¡°Hong¡¯er, you¡­ ¡±


    The red robed elder cried out and he sent the youth flying with a surge of True Force. The former then immediately roared: ¡°As long as I kill whoever put the Heart Controlling seed on Hong¡¯er, he can regain his freedom.¡±


    On top of the tree, Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts spun.


    The red robed elder belonged to the Silver Moon Clan, one of the clans participating in the Three Clan Party. Whereas the hooded figure belonged to the Ancient Shrine, another faction of the Thirteen Clans.


    Just at this moment, the situation in the ancient temple changed.


    ¡°Kekeke¡­ ¡±


    A silver striped blood corpse stepped out of the ancient temple.


    The silver striped blood corpse had a cold aura and its eyes were blood red. It released an aura that was even more powerful than the hooded figure.


    ¡°It¡¯s him! The Blood Corpse Protector!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he saw this.


    The silver striped blood corpse was the one that he had met in the Scarlet Moon Cave. At that time, the corpse was extremely weak since it had just awaken, but even then, it had almost killed Zhao Feng and co.


    Now, the Blood Corpse Protector had recovered it strength back to the half step True Spirit Realm at least and its body was extremely powerful.


    It took a direct hit from the red robed elder and still charged forward. The corpses¡¯ body was incredibly hard and it could even block the attacks from someone at the True Spirit Realm.


    The hooded figure stood from afar and it kept on using mental energy attacks to disrupt and intere.


    ¡°But even so, it¡¯s hard to defeat someone at the True Spirit Realm.¡± Zhao Feng analysed.


    And indeed, the two didn¡¯t plan on winning. Instead, they retreated bit by bit and they were soon able to retreat to the ancient palace.


    The red robed elder and youth immediately followed them.


    A weird thing happened.


    The instance everyone stepped into the ancient temple, everything went quiet.


    It was like the red robed elder and youth had been devoured by a beast.


    Zhao Feng felt the power of mental energy within the temple.


    Soon.


    The red robed elder and youth walked out of the temple expressionlessly and they left.


    It was as if nothing had happened.


    ¡°Far too queer.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook.


    He took a deep breath before circulating his left eye to the max. He then looked through the entrance and could see the current situation within.


    Inside the temple.


    Both the hooded figure and blood corpse protector had injuries. This was especially so for the blood corpse protector, its bones had almost fallen off. If it was someone else at the half-True Spirit realm, they probably would¡¯ve died already.


    In the middle of the hall was a futon that had a lifeless skeleton sitting on top of it. However, the sockets of the skeleton contained two dark red flames.


    Zhao Feng instinctively turned his left eye away from looking at it.


    Hu!


    The lights in the skeleton¡¯s eyes became darker and darker, like it was getting weaker.


    ¡°No wonder the Great Lord is one of the 12 Division Leader¡¯s. Even in such a weak state, he¡¯s still able to control someone at the True Spirit Realm.¡±


    Inside the hooded figure¡¯s eyes were deep respect.


    A voice came from within the skeleton: ¡°It¡¯s only someone at the first rank of the True Spirit Realm, the ¡®True Human rank¡¯. I¡¯ve slain limitless ants like him in the past. The two of you played a part in weakening him, allowing me to finally control him. Now, I need half a month''s rest.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t hear what they were saying, he still felt chilled.


    ¡°Division Leader, this place is probably not safe anyway. Us expanding too fast has probably caught the attention of the thirteen Clans.¡± The Blood Corpse Protector said worriedly.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, but before this¡­ ¡±


    A red light suddenly shot out of the skeleton¡¯s eye sockets.


    Not good!


    Zhao Feng, who was standing on top of the tree felt his mind burn, as if something had been stuck on to him.


    ¡°Wuyou, you go outside and capture that brat. I¡¯ve already set a ¡®Ghost Mark¡¯ on him. Only you can sense it and have the remaining strength to kill him.¡± The mysterious skeleton said.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly jumped back into the interspatial bracelet.


    ¡°The mission has been completed, run!¡±


    The dark grey cloak behind Zhao Feng shook and like lightning, Zhao Feng sped off into the darkness.


    ¡°Brat, you won¡¯t be able to run away.¡±


    The hooded figure¡¯s blue eyes locked onto Zhao Feng.

 206 Controlling Heart Technique

    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power and using the Yin Shadow Cloak as cover, he merged into the night.


    At this point in time, he merged the insights that he gained from the Lightning Inheritance into his movement skill and his speed then exceeded some at the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Speed, invisibility and absolute control of the landscape with his left eye. When the three were combined together, Zhao Feng had the confidence that he could throw off an injured cultivator at the 7th Sky of the Ascended realm.


    However, Zhao Feng found that no matter how much he tried to hide, the hooded figure behind him would always be able to catch up. He felt that this had something to do with the thing ¡®stuck onto¡¯ him.


    The skeleton had used some weird trick on him, which Zhao Feng felt helpless towards. He wasn¡¯t very skilled in terms of mental energy and it was obvious that it was impossible to break through the opponent¡¯s skill in a short amount of time.


    ¡°It looks like running away is impossible¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t lose his cool and he quickly analysed the situation. Through his thoughts, Zhao Feng suddenly realised that he had the capabilities to slay the hooded figure.


    Firstly, the hooded figure had been injured by the True Spirit Realm person before. Secondly, Zhao Feng had strong resistance against mental energy attacks. Thirdly, the hooded figure didn¡¯t seem to be very good at close combat.


    The hooded figure¡¯s forte was mental energy, not close combat. In the battle before, he had remained far away and he didn¡¯t dare to go close.


    Only Zhao Feng was able to analyse such a situation in such a desperate situation and make a choice at the same time. If it was someone else facing the hooded figure at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm, they would probably not even have had the thought to resist.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng had a plan. He slowed down on purpose, like he was getting tired.


    His cultivation was only at the 4th Sky after all and he wouldn¡¯t be able to continue at such a fast pace.


    When the hooded figure was within ten yards m, the cloak behind Zhao Feng suddenly turned and several figures appeared.


    Siiii!


    Lightning seemed to flash in the air as Zhao Feng¡¯s speed suddenly exploded at the oncoming hooded figure.


    The latter was already chasing him and since the two were now charging at each other, the speed of them closing in even exceeded those at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    The sudden change surprised the hooded figure. The latter didn¡¯t think that hod opponent would even dare to fight back in such a situation.


    Shuaa----


    Zhao Feng closed in as his bloodline power and true force condensed to the maximum. The sound of thunder could be heard as well.


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s strongest attack, even those at the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm could be injured or even killed by it.


    However, the hooded figure didn¡¯t show any signs of panic. On the contrary, a sneer appeared on his face as his blue eyes radiated a wave of mental energy.


    ¡°Hahaha, physical attacks may be fast, but is it faster than mental energy?¡¯


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure froze, just one yard away from the hooded figure.


    He felt an eroding mental energy enter his mind. When one¡¯s consciousness was in chaos, how could they control their body?


    Zhao Feng clenched his teeth and he fully activated his left eye to resist it.


    ¡°This guy''s got such a large amount of mental energy in his body and he can resist almost any mental energy attack from those below the True Spirit Realm.¡±


    The hooded figure was even more surprised. Only he knew how terrifying his mental energy was. Even those at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to block it.


    In the battle before, he could even interrupt and disturb the person at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Hmph! This brat¡¯s just someone who¡¯s been blessed by the heavens. If he went down the path of mental energy, even I, who has a unique bloodline, would be easily surpassed by him.¡±


    Jealously appeared in the hooded figure¡¯s heart as the his killing intent became stronger. Such a genius in mental energy must be killed!


    It was obvious that the hooded figure was stunned by Zhao Feng¡¯s talent. Such a pure and large amount of mental energy meant that he had almost full resilience against illusions and mental energy attacks.


    Anyone training in the path of mental energy would feel jealous and try to kill him.


    These people were their nemesis!


    The mental energy that came from the hooded figure became stronger.


    Zhao Feng felt like his consciousness was about to break. At this moment, he furiously circulated his left eye and hehid his consciousness in the left eye¡¯s dimension.


    The mental energy flowing from the hooded figure¡¯s attack also entered the left eye¡¯s dimension.


    Weng!


    The azure light in the dimension spun quickly and an indescribable suction force appeared.


    ¡°Ahhh! Not good! That¡¯s¡­ ¡±


    The hooded figure was terrified and he felt that his consciousness as well as his mental energy were being pulled away.


    His mental energy was being draining so quickly and his soul was almost sucked out.


    Ahhh---


    The hooded figure tried to resist, but nothing could be done.


    At last, he clenched his teeth and facing the possibility of backlash, he broke off a part of his mental energy to break the suction force.


    Just at this moment, something unexpected happened.


    Shhhhh!


    The hooded figure felt pain in his neck and with a spray of blood and a scream, he fell onto the ground with a ¡®plop¡¯, dead.


    His throat had been pierced through and there was now a small blood hole there.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat ran up and down on the hooded figure and gave Zhao Feng a smug expression.


    The latter wiped his cold sweat. He didn¡¯t expect that the cat would attack the hooded figure at such a critical moment.


    The little thieving cat was more agile and smarter than he thought.


    ¡°Hmm? What¡¯s it doing?¡±


    Zhao Feng realised that the cat was scavenging the spoils of war.


    Underneath the hood was a youth¡¯s face, pale without any traces of blood. It still had signs of unwillingness and fear.


    In just a few breaths time, the little thieving cat had taken everything of value off the hooded figure - even his pants were almost pulled off.


    Zhao Feng stood there gaping.


    A bunch of low grade primal crystal stones had been taken by the little thieving cat and were swallowed one at a time.


    Zhao Feng and the cat already had made an agreement - the latter wouldn¡¯t eat the items inside his interspatial bracelet, but now the cat was eating the spoils of war so Zhao Feng was helpless.


    The little thieving cat swiped its two paws.


    ¡°Ok ok! Fifty-fifty.¡± Zhao Feng understood its meaning.


    The caw was even craftier than a fox and a miser.


    Soon, the two split the rewards. There was an old silver skinned book and several skills.


    ¡°Heart Controlling Technique: A mental energy skill of the Ancient Shrine. Used to control people. When trained to a high degree, one is able to control limitless beings in the heavens¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a large amount of information flow through his mind.


    Without any hesitation, he scanned the information into his left eye, but the other skills weren¡¯t as deep as the Heart Controlling Technique.


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed - he had finally found something that he could use with his mental energy.


    Just at this point in time, Zhao Feng seemed to sense something flash out of the ancient temple.


    Shuaa!


    Without hesitation, the cloak on his back straightened and he merged into the night.


    Soon.


    The Blood Corpse Protector as well as some of its underlings had arrived.


    ¡°Take the corpse back. Leave the brat to me.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Protector ran in the direction that Zhao Feng escapedin, but because he was severely injured and not familiar with the ¡®Ghost Mark¡¯, he soon lost track of Zhao Feng.


    Within the hall.


    ¡°Division Leader, I¡¯m quite familiar with the aura of that brat. He¡¯s a disciple of the Broken Moon Clan and he seems to have a very pure ancient bloodline.¡± The Blood Corpse Protector said respectively.


    ¡°Not only an ancient bloodline. His mental energy talent is ten times better than Wuyou¡¯s.¡± The skeleton said weakly.


    ¡°How is that possible?¡± The Blood Corpse Protector exclaimed in disbelief.


    Wuyou was a once every a hundred years genius.


    ¡°If our ¡®Dark Silence Division¡¯ had geniuses like him, how could our Holy Religion not rise? Luckily, the ¡®Ghost Mark¡¯ won¡¯t fade for another three years.¡± The skeleton¡¯s voice contained expectancy and excitement.


    ¡°Division Leader, that kid won¡¯t join our Holy Religion easily. I gave him an invitation last time, but I was tricked by him.¡±


    Thinking about what happened last time, the Blood Corpse Protector felt angry.


    ¡°When there¡¯s enough profit, everything¡¯s possible.¡±


    The red glow of light finally dimmed win the skeleton¡¯s eye sockets: ¡°Leave this place immediately and go towards the Iron Dragon Country to meet up with the other two divisions. The thirteen countries here aren''t important.¡±


    Three days later.


    In a concealed bird nest inside the Sky Cloud Forest.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped happily around the branches and it played around with its old coin.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and a flash of mental energy appeared and faded.


    If one paid enough attention, they would realise that his aura had become even more queer. Over the past few days, Zhao Feng had been gaining enlightenment from the notes and skills that the hooded figure had.


    He now knew more about mental energy and only now did he know how powerful the mental energy source in his left eye was.


    But although the source was big, Zhao Feng could only use a small part of it as most of it was sealed. Only at critical points would it activate. However, even then, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy talent was supreme.


    Ceng!


    Just at this moment, a figure appeared from the opposite side.


    It was at this time that the coin landed on the little thieving cat¡¯s paw.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng concentrated and he saw that the figure was the white bearded old man!


    Hmph!


    Zhao Feng landed on a tree directly in front.


    ¡°Ah! It¡¯s you¡­ ¡± The white bearded old man panicked.


    ¡®Kneel!¡¯


    Zhao Feng sent out the one word with his mental energy.


    Instantly, the wind nearby seemed to freeze. Only Zhao Feng¡¯s hair and cloak rippled.


    The white bearded old man felt a large surge of mental energy smash through his mind and he instantly lost consciousness.


    Everything he did next was based on instinct.


    ¡°You¡¯ll reply to whatever I ask.¡± Zhao Feng looked down and said as if he was the king of the heavens.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    The white bearded old man was full of respect like he was kneeling before the emperor. At this moment, his consciousness had been controlled by Zhao Feng. Even if he was told to commit suicide, he would do so without hesitation.

 207 End

    This was the first time that Zhao Feng had used a proper mental energy attack and it was much more successful than expected.


    First Elder and Li Fuji were both right, Zhao Feng¡¯s true talent was here.


    In just two to three days time, he had already started to understand the basic concepts of the Heart Controlling Technique. If the hooded figure was still alive, he would probably go and commit suicide by hitting a block of tofu. If the mysterious skeleton knew about this, it probably wouldn¡¯t have retreated so quickly and taken down Zhao Feng no matter the price.


    At this moment, between the trees.


    ¡°Why did you betray the Broken Moon Clan?¡±


    ¡°This one was forced to.¡±


    White bearded old man¡¯s face was full of respect and fear.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed - the situation was more complex than expected. Not only was the white bearded old man forced to betray the Clan, he had also developed fear and obedience towards the Ancient Shrine.


    The Heart Controlling Technique was extremely profound and it could even control others¡¯ consciousness, but Zhao Feng had only just learnt it and it was nowhere near the hooded figure¡¯s level.


    ¡°What¡¯s the origin of this force? What¡¯s the connection between the Ancient Shrine and Scarlet Moon Religion?¡±


    ¡°This one only follows orders and doesn¡¯t know their origins nor the existence of the Scarlet Moon Religion¡­ ¡±


    The white bearded old man had a puzzled expression.


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised. It looked like he was only a messenger and he was nowhere near entering the inner circle - he didn¡¯t know as much as himself.


    Another round of questioning confirmed Zhao Feng¡¯s suspicions.


    The white bearded old man was only an outer circle member that was controlled by the Scarlet Moon Religion and he was a bait, a chess piece.


    According to what he knew, all the 13 Clan¡¯s had been infiltrated by the Scarlet Moon Religion but they were only restricted to the outer members.


    Half a day later.


    Inside a book room of the Guanjun Palace.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that you¡¯ve become a Core disciple and have First Elder as your backing in just half a year''s time.¡±


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes were full of joy and surprise. He didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng would have such a great future when he sent the latter to the Sky Moon Mountain.


    At that time, Lord Guanjun thought that the success rate was under 50%, and this was at best.


    Now, in just half a year''s time, Zhao Feng had become a Core disciple and he was going to participate in the Three Clan Party.


    Apart from Zhao Feng in the room, there was also the white bearded old man.


    Zhao Feng had told Lord Guanjun about the mission and hearing this, the latter was shocked - not only because of Zhao Feng¡¯s display of strength, but also because of the hands of the Scarlet Moon Religion.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that there was a Sub-Division Leader tier person in the Cloud Country.¡±


    Lord Guanjun was stunned.


    Up to now, Zhao Feng still didn¡¯t know the mysterious skeleton¡¯s true identity. Afterall, his left eye could only see, and not hear.


    From how the Blood Corpse Protector acted towards the skeleton, it was likely that the latter could be a Sub-Division Leader.


    Back then when the Scarlet Moon Religion was at its peak, there was a total of 108 Sub-Division with any one of them being able to destroy the Thirteen Clans.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t think that the skeleton would be even higher in rank - a full Division Leader.


    ¡°Master, what kind of clan is this Ancient Shrine?¡± Zhao Feng suddenly asked.


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s expression was solemn: ¡°The Ancient Shrine is ranked 2nd out of all the 13 Clans and it is the most mysterious one. The headquarters of this Clan is somewhere n the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest. Almost no one knows the exact position.¡±


    ¡°So mysterious.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but cluck his tongue.


    A Clan could hide in the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest.


    ¡°The Ancient Shrine¡¯s forte is mental energy and although this is unusual, they only take in a few disciples every generation. The total number of the Ancient Shrine doesn¡¯t exceed one hundred, it could be even less¡­ ¡± Lord Guanjun explained.


    Zhao Feng fell into deep thought - those that were talented in the path of mental energy were extremely rare, so much that they were only able to take in a few disciples every generation. It was like finding people with the same degree of talent as Bei Moi.


    ¡°But don¡¯t underestimate the Ancient Shrine. Although they don¡¯t have many members, their overall strength is ranked 2nd in the 13 Clans. The hooded mysterious figure that day who controlled a beast horde and attacked the Guanjun Province City was a member of the Ancient Shrine.¡± Lord Guanjun added with solemness, obviously vary of this Clan.


    Zhao Feng smiled when he heard about the hooded figure, but he didn¡¯t say anything. If Lord Guanjun knew that the hooded figure had been finished off by him, who would know how he felt?


    But the mysteriousness of the Ancient Shrine made Zhao Feng suspicious.


    He always felt that there was a special connection between the Ancient Shrine and the Scarlet Moon Religion.


    According to logic, such a mysterious Clan that excelled in mental energy wouldn¡¯t be easily controlled or else the entire Thirteen Clans would probably already be destroyed.


    In terms of difficulty to infiltrate, the Ancient Shrine was the hardest one.


    Of course, this was according to Zhao Feng¡¯s guesses and analysis, there was no evidence or proof, so it couldn¡¯t be confirmed.


    If he started spreading rumours, the Broken Moon Clan would face immense pressure from the Ancient Shrine.


    ¡°Master, the Three Clan Party is starting soon. Disciple will have to go now.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t decide to stay in the Guanjun Palace for long.


    The Three Clan Party was the most important thing right now. Even if Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t feeling urgent, First Elder would.


    ¡°Good, good! Three Clan Party! It looks like I¡¯ve underestimated your strength.¡±


    Lord Guanjun couldn¡¯t contain his excitement. The Three Clan Party was only a legend to him when he was an outer disciple.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, since you¡¯re able to participate in the Three Clan Party, this means that you¡¯ll also have a high chance of entering the Alliance Banquet later. According to what I know, the Three Clan Party is only fought between three neighbouring Clans. The Alliance Banquet is the true stage of geniuses. That is where the prodigies fight. Even Bei Moi won¡¯t be the most talented one there.¡±


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s face was full of hope.


    The Three Clan Party and Alliance Banquet was once his dreams but due to the restriction in talent, none of these dreams were achieved.


    ¡°Master, relax. Disciple will take back all the glory.¡± Zhao Feng said


    Then he left with the white bearded old man, who followed him from behind like a servant.


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes suddenly saw a package on the desk and opening it, there were several Spiritual Pills as well as some martial arts and even two Middle Grade Mortal weapons.


    Seeing this, Lord Guanjun¡¯s eyes turned red, but he didn¡¯t know whether this was from gratitude or emotion.


    On the same night.


    ¡°My Lord, a mysterious person left something on the steps for you.¡±


    A Guanjun Corp member bowed and handed over a metal container.


    Lord Guanjun opened it and realised that there were also several Spiritual pills and skills. Although they weren¡¯t worth as much as what Zhao Feng gave, it was still a large amount.


    Under the bottom of the container contained a letter: ¡°I¡¯ll definitely take Hai Yun Master¡¯s head one day and give it to Master.


    From: Bei Moi.¡±


    Lord Guanjun took a cold breath and he immediately shredded the paper into powder.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er¡­ Moi¡¯er¡­ It¡¯s my luck to have the two of you as my disciples. I have no more regrets. Hai Yun, you might have had a beautiful life but you¡¯ve lost, lost¡­ ¡±


    Tears streamed down Lord Guanjun¡¯s face as the latter almost went insane.


    Broken Moon Clan.


    There was only three days left till the Three Clan Party.


    On this day, Zhao Feng returned and handed over the white bearded old man to Vice Head Li.


    ¡°In the past half a year, there¡¯s been news of infiltration of the Scarlet Moon Religion in the Thirteen Clans. Although the Scarlet Moon Religion¡¯s tried to rise several times in the past hundred years, they¡¯ve always been slaughtered by the big factions of the North Continent. Littles forces such as us only need to protect our core members¡­ ¡±


    Vice Head Li wasn¡¯t surprised at the mission¡¯s result.


    Zhao Feng was shocked - there was the possibility of a Sub-Divions Leader here.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, you only said ¡®might¡¯. I¡¯ll report this to the Clan, but one thing can be sure. Because of your appearance, the stronghold of the Scarlet Moon Religion would have moved.¡± Vice Head Li said with confidence.


    Both Zhao Feng and Vice Head Li didn¡¯t know that the mysterious skeleton wasn¡¯t a Sub-Division Leader, but a full Division Leader.


    The Scarlet Moon Religion was said to have 12 Division, and 108 Sub Divisions.


    A Division Leader was able to cause a wave in the Northern Continent and could destroy a small Clan was like child¡¯s play.


    Luckily, the Thirteen Clan¡¯s were too weak in their eyes and there was no use in destroying this place.


    Zhao Feng thought that even if the high authority of the Clan didn¡¯t care, why should I?


    But he still reported everything to First Elder.


    ¡°You mean¡­ one of the Elders of the Silver Moon Clan may have been taken over by the Scarlet Moon Religion?¡±


    First Elder only half believed this because if there really was such a terrifying existence, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t have retreated without being harmed.


    On the same day.


    The Broken Moon Clan sent out two Elders and several elites to scout out the ancient temple, but the place was already in ruins.


    There was nothing they could do.


    The Broken Moon Clan¡¯s focus right now was on the Three Clan Party and at that time, the three Clans would discuss several matters, including how to deal with the Scarlet Moon Religion.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really care - it didn¡¯t matter how chaotic the world was, only strength could solve everything.


    In the blink of an eye, three days had passed and Zhao Feng made more progress in mental energy.


    At this moment, he was controlling a bird flying with his left eye.


    Fffsssh!


    When the bird got within range of the Floating Crest Palace, it was reduced to dust by the lightning.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook and he seemed to gain some enlightenment. Having a personal taste of lightning, his insights into the Lightning Inheritance deepened.


    He spread open his palm and several small arcs of lightning appeared.


    He had finally comprehended one-tenth of the first floor of the Lightning inheritance.


    ¡°Junior Brother Zhao, Master wants to see you. The Three Clan Party will be starting.¡±


    Outside the courtyard came Yang Gan¡¯s voice.

 208 Travels

    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Zhao Feng walked out of his courtyard and met up with Yang Gan.


    Not having seen the latter in half a month, Yang Gan¡¯s aura was without a doubt stronger. His 6th Sky Ascended realm cultivation meant that he was the Head disciple.


    Yang Gan was also inspecting Zhao Feng at the same time. Although the latter hadn¡¯t increased in cultivation, his aura had become more queer, so much that even he himself couldn¡¯t see through it.


    Yang Gan didn¡¯t dare to underestimate this junior brother of his. Ever since the trial had ended, First Elder had placed great importance of Zhao Feng and Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was unbelievably strong, almost sweeping all of Hai Yun Master¡¯s disciples that day.


    Soon, the two saw First Elder.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, your aura is a bit weird.¡± First Elder said meekly.


    ¡°Master, during the mission, I got a mental energy skill and I was infected by something but I believe that I¡¯ll be able to get rid of it soon.¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hide the small details.


    He had been hit by a mysterious skill of the skeleton and he had a bad feeling attached to him.


    Even now, the feeling hadn¡¯t faded away and although he could find traces of it with his left eye, he wasn¡¯t able to get rid of it.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that this was a ¡®Ghost Mark¡¯ set by a Division Leader and it would usually fade only after 3 years.


    Of course, Zhao Feng had a high possibility of solving it himself since his progress in mental energy was increasing rapidly.


    ¡°Let me see.¡±


    First Elder used his Spiritual Vision to envelope and scan through Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    The latter didn¡¯t resist and he only circulated his bloodline power to block off his left eye.


    His bloodline power was hidden in his blood and true force. If one didn¡¯t want to reveal it, it was hard to find. Furthermore, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t worried that First Elder would find his bloodline power, at most, he would find his talent in mental energy only.


    ¡°It seems like a mental energy mark but it¡¯s more complex, as if you¡¯ve been marked by someone.¡± First Elder murmured.


    However, even someone as strong as First Elder wasn¡¯t able to get rid of it.


    ¡°The person¡¯s cultivation has probably reached the ¡®True Lord Realm¡¯ and mental energy isn¡¯t my forte. The people from the Ancient Shrine might be able to get rid of it, but they won¡¯t do it easily.¡±


    First Elder¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, as if knowing the trouble it could cause.


    ¡°True Lord Rank? That¡¯s far too terrifying! No one¡¯s ever reached that rank in the Thirteen Clans in the past several hundred years!¡± Yang Gan was shocked.


    The True Spirit Realm was split into three ranks: True Human, True Mystic and True Lord.


    Right now, no Elder had even reached the True Mystic Rank yet.


    The True Lord Rank was the pinnacle in the Northern Continent and those that were at that rank had the title of ¡®True Lord¡¯.


    Zhao Feng was also moved, First Elder was only at the peak of the True Human Rank and the other Elders were at the early or late stages of the True Human Rank.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, you¡¯ve got to be careful. I don¡¯t know what the person¡¯s intent is. After the Alliance Banquet, I¡¯ll ask the Ancient Shrine for help.¡± First Elder sighed.


    ¡°Master, relax. You don¡¯t need to find the Ancient Shrine, I believe I can take care of it myself.¡± Zhao Feng said confidently, but neither First Elder nor Yang Gan believed him.


    True Lord Rank, that was the pinnacle of existence. Any one of them could control limitless lives and topple the heavens.


    The difference between the True Human Rank and True Lord Rank was like the 1st Sky of the Ascended Realm and the 7th Sky.


    An hour later.


    First Elder took the two to the Central Division.


    Hai Yun Master and Bei Moi were already present.


    Apart from that Granny Liuyue was also there. She was responsible for pill making and medicine.


    The Three Elders and three Core disciples were all present.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly as his gaze landed on Bei Moi. In just half a month¡¯s time, this guy had managed to reach the 5th Sky.


    When they fought last time, Bei Moi was only at the peak 4th Sky.


    Such progress indeed confirmed his talent.


    What Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that after he had almost beat all the disciples of Hai Yun Master, Bei Moi had started to crazily increase his cultivation.


    Only through competition was one able to improve and create miracles.


    If there wasn¡¯t Zhao Feng, Bei Moi wouldn¡¯t be able to squeeze out his potential this fast. At the same time, if there wasn¡¯t Bei Moi, Zhao Feng might not be able to reach his current situation.


    Even Head disciple Yang Gan felt pressured. Bei Moi was someone who had received an Inheritance and he had now reached the 5th Sky, meaning that he poised a threat towards him.


    The people attending the Three Clan Party had been formed.


    Head disciples, Yang Gan, 6th Sky.


    Core disciple, Bei Moi, 5th Sky.


    Core disciple, Zhao Feng, 4th Sky.


    ¡°Get ready to leave.¡±


    First Elder waved his hand and the screech of an eagle could be heard. A giant golden eagle flew through the air. Its wings sent waves of wind.


    ¡°This is the Golden Ashen Giant Eagle?¡±


    Zhao Feng started to inspect it.


    The Golden Ashen Giant Eagle had wings that spanned seven to eight yards and could cover a small garden. It was easily able to carry ten people.


    In terms of strength, the Golden Ashen Giant Eagle was comparable to the 7th Sky of the Ascended realm, but in terms of pure speed, it could even exceed normal cultivators at the True Spirit Realm. After all, those at the True Spirit Realm could only fly for short periods of time.


    First Elder led the group of people onto the Eagle¡¯s back.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly appeared and started to curiously inspect its surroundings.


    When Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat stepped onto the eagles back, the latter trembled slightly and revealed a sign of fear.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    First Elder and Hai Yun Master both felt it. The former stroked the Golden Ashen Giant Eagle, which made the latter conquer the fear. On the other hand, Hai Yun Master¡¯s gaze became more and more fiery as he stared at the little thieving cat.


    The Golden Ashen Giant Eagle contained traces of ancient bloodline and it was the strongest animal of the Broken Moon Clan. And an existence like this feared the little thieving cat.


    Of course, Hai Yun Master didn¡¯t realise that Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat both stepped on at the same time and it was unknown whether the eagle was scared of the former or latter or both.


    But Hai Yun Master had ignored Zhao Feng¡¯s existence.


    ¡°Miao miao!¡±


    The eyes of the little thieving cat rolled as it agilely flipped in the air and landed on Hai Yun Master¡¯s shoulder.


    Ehhh?


    Zhao Feng and co. all paused.


    Hai Yun Master was first surprised, but then he was overjoyed. Could the little thieving cat also know that the stronger one was, the better they were?


    Huhu----


    The Golden Ashen Giant Eagle flapped its wings, causing a storm of golden wind and then flew up into the sky.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    Zhao Feng stood on top of the eagle¡¯s back and surveyed the mountains and rivers below.


    A year ago, when he was still in the Zhao family, could he have imagined that this was the him a year later?


    One day, I shall use my own power and travel through this mysterious continent.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat seemed to get on well with Hai Yun Master and the latter was overflowing with happiness. Once he had a good relationship with the cat, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to decline him if he was to offer something in exchange for the cat.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t mind, the little thieving cat had too high a standard and it was unlikely to follow Hai Yun Master. It was probably planning something.


    Hai Yun Master was overjoyed and he fed all his Spiritual pills to the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    Feeling full, the little thieving cat nodded its head in satisfaction and jumped back onto Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder while revealing a mocking smile at the same time.


    The smile on Hai Yun Master¡¯s face froze - that cat came only to steal some food!


    Another while later.


    ¡°My jade pendant!¡±


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s expression changed as he searched his own body.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Brother Hai Yun?¡±


    First Elder and Granny Liuyue looked over.


    ¡°I had a ¡®Jade Heart Pendant¡¯ on me with the ability to suppress the Heart Demon, but now it¡¯s gone! That¡¯s it! It must be that cat when it came near me.¡±


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s gaze narrowed as he pointed at the little thieving cat.


    How was this possible?


    Everyone on the eagles back felt that this was unbelievable. The little thieving cat was only the size of a palm, how could it have stolen the Elder¡¯s jade pendant? Furthermore, how could he of the True Spirit Realm not feel anything when it got stolen?


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat stood on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and it shook its head continuously with an innocent expression. Even its eyes started to get wet, gaining the sympathy of everyone else.


    But Hai Yun Master and his disciple didn¡¯t believe it.


    ¡°It must be the cat.¡± Bei Moi said confidently - he knew how crafty the cat was.


    Zhao Feng shook his head helplessly: ¡°If Hai Yun Master doesn¡¯t believe it, then you can search my interspatial bracelet.¡±


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat shook its head and waved its paws, showing that it didn¡¯t want to.


    ¡°Hmph, as I thought¡­ ¡±


    Hai Yun Master walked over towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Eh¡­ Hai Yun Master, the cat means that what if you don¡¯t find anything? Are you humiliating the dignity of a cat?¡±


    Zhao Feng could only help ¡®translate¡± it.


    The little thieving cat was his pet after all and therefore, he knew what the cat thought.


    ¡°This¡­ ¡±


    Hai Yun Master felt a bit troublesome, Zhao Feng was First Elder¡¯s disciple and if he did search Zhao Feng and find the jade pendant, it was ok. But what if he didn¡¯t? Isn¡¯t that slapping First Elder¡¯s face?


    ¡°How about if I find it, the cat will belong to me? But if I don¡¯t find it I¡¯ll give you 100 low grade Primal Crystal Stones and some cat food?¡± Hai Yun Master said.


    One hundred low grade Primal Crystal Stones?


    Everyone was slightly moved, this was the same as ten thousand sub-standard Primal Crystal Stones, it was not a small sum.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Zhao Feng exchanged glances with the little thieving cat and he nodded his head.


    A while later.


    Hai Yun Master handed over one hundred Primal Crystal Stones and he moved to the side with a dim expression.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat revealed a victorious smile and waved its paws at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Ok ok! We¡¯ll split it 50-50.¡±


    Hearing this, everyone almost fainted.


    Hai Yun Master and Bei Moi both had ugly expressions and didn¡¯t say anything else on the journey there.

 209 Ao Yuetian

    From several hundred yards up in the air, a clear piece of natural land with green grass and chirping birds came into view.


    The Lin Moon Clan wasn¡¯t deep within the mountains; it was next to a river. From high up, the river was in the shape of a curved moon. The heavenly energy there exceeded the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s and several waterfalls made the area more wonderful.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s vision was broader and clearer, and this made him sigh. The Lin Moon Clan¡¯s territory was much more beautiful than the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s.


    This was just the difference from the surface - the real difference was the heavenly energy here.


    All the Clans would settle in a place rich in heavenly energy - this helped one¡¯s cultivation and gave the clan members a better chance to break through.


    If Bei Moi was placed in the Zhao family, even with the former¡¯s talent, he wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the Ascended Realm before the age of twenty.


    Of the thirteen Clans, the Lin Moon Clan was ranked 4th, whereas the Broken Moon Clan was second to last, if not last.


    After entering the territory of the Lin Moon Clan, the expressions of the Elders turned solemn.


    At this time, a silver light came in from below.


    ¡°Haha, welcome, friends from the Broken Moon Clan.¡±


    The comer was a silver/grey long sleeved Elder, who radiated an aura just below First Elder¡¯s.


    ¡°Greetings, Elder Qun.¡±


    First Elder smiled and greeted the newcomer, but Granny Liuyue and Hai Yun Master had slightly ugly expressions.


    Elder Qun was only a normal elder of the Lin Moon Clan. First Elder had led the members of the Broken Moon Clan, but the Lin Moon Clan had only sent a normal Elder.


    The Lin Moon Clan would normally send out the Clan Master or First Elder to greet them.


    ¡°Haha, Clan Master and First Elder are welcoming the Silver Moon Clan.¡±


    Elder Qun seemed to know what the Elders of the Broken Moon Clan thought and laughed, but disdain flashed in his eyes.


    Of the 3 Clans, the Broken Moon Clan was placed rock bottom and they had always come last in the Three Clan Party. Compared with them, the Silver Moon Clan was ranked 7th of the Thirteen Clans and were of greater importance.


    Although the Elders of the Broken Moon Clan were angry, there was nothing they could do because the Broken Moon Clan lost battle after battle every time in the Three Clan Party.


    Thinking up to here, the Elders looked at the participating disciples. The disciples of this generation were far stronger than before.


    The Golden Ashen Giant Eagle landed in front of a palace.


    Elder Qun smiled: ¡°Let us old fellows go to the hall and discuss our matters. We¡¯ll leave the younger generation to their own things.¡±


    The Broken Moon Clan Elder¡¯s nodded their heads, they were not surprised.


    This was the norm for the Three Clan Party.


    The Party had two objectives.


    One was to discuss the cooperations between the Clan¡¯s. The Scarlet Moon Religion had been quite the topic lately and it was probably one of the things that they would discuss.


    The younger generation obviously wouldn¡¯t participate in this.


    The other reason was to let the younger generation of the three Clan¡¯s spar with each other.


    After all, the future of the younger generation determined a Clan¡¯s future and it could determine the difference in strength between the Clans.


    Usually, stronger Clans had more resources and their disciples would be more powerful.


    For example, the ¡®Four Stars¡¯ were the top four ranked youths in the Thirteen Clans, meaning that the Lin Moon Clan also had one of the Four stars


    Soon.


    The Broken Moon Clan entered into the hall.


    ¡°Friends, let me introduce you to the Lin Moon Clan.¡± An expressionless voice sounded.


    The person that greeted the three was a white clothed youth, who had an expressionless attitude. All he did was faintly glance at the three disciples.


    Bei Moi and Zhao Feng were both too lazy to say anything. Only Yang Gan smiled and introduced them.


    Hearing about Zhao Feng and Bei Moi, Meng Yun, the white clothed youth said faintly: ¡°So it¡¯s two newbies.¡±


    Meng Yun and Yang Gan seemed to know each other, but they weren¡¯t exactly familiar.


    ¡°Brother Meng, what¡¯s your rank of the Core disciples in the Lin Moon Clan?¡± Yang Gan asked.


    This question peaked Zhao Feng and Bei Moi¡¯s interest. Meng Yun¡¯s aura was close to Yang Gan¡¯s, at the peak 5th Sky.


    ¡°Third.¡± Meng Yun replied.


    On the way, he led the Broken Moon disciples carefreely. It was as if he didn¡¯t even bother to talk to them - he was just too lazy to do so.


    The higher-ups of the Lin Moon Clan had only sent a normal Elder to greet the Broken Moon Clan and they had only sent the third ranked Core disciple to greet Zhao Feng and co.


    ¡°I heard that a disciple of your Clan has become one of the ¡®Four Stars¡¯, such a genius is admirable¡­ ¡± Yang Gan said and started to ask about the circumstances about the Lin Moon Clan.


    Meng Yun¡¯s attitude towards him was only average and Yang Gan was helpless because the two next to him didn¡¯t like to say anything.


    Bei Moi was always expressionless, while Zhao Feng was too lazy to speak.


    Ahh, these two guys are both self centered, arrogant pricks.


    ¡°Being one of the Four Stars, Brother Ao might or might not appear at the Three Clan Party this time. He has already reached the peak of the 6th Sky several months ago and he has even learnt the hardest skill of the Lin Moon Clan ¡®Moon God War¡¯, something that no one has done at his age for a hundred years.¡±


    When Meng Yun mentioned Ao Yuetian, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Do you think clowns like you would have the right to challenge him?


    Ao Yuetian was one of the Four Stars of the Thirteen Clans, his strength was top tier.


    Even in the Thirteen Clans, not many people were his match, so how about just the three Clan¡¯s people then?


    ¡°Impossible¡­ Ao Yuetian¡¯s actually cultivated the ¡®Moon God War¡¯.¡± Yang Gan exclaimed.


    The Moon God War was a forbidden technique of the Lin Moon Clan, just like how Lightning Wind Palm was in the Broken Moon Clan. But the Moon God War was more advanced and complete, therefore its power was terrifying.


    ¡°I heard that one person in your Clan received an Inheritance, better than what I thought.¡± Meng Yun taunted.


    Hearing this, Yang Gan got angry and he was about to explode.


    ¡°Ok, this is it.¡±


    Meng Yun¡¯s words took a twist and he led the three into a beautiful garden.


    In the centre of the garden, there was a small pavilion with snacks inside. Disciples from both the Lin Moon Clan and Silver Moon Clan sat in the pavilion.


    ¡°Brother Ao and fellow daoists from the Silver Moon Clan, the participating disciples from the Broken Moon Clan have arrived.¡± Meng Yun purposely said loudly to catch everyone¡¯s attention.


    In the centre sat ¡®Ao Yuetian¡¯, wearing a robe of blue. In terms of charisma and attractiveness, he was on par with Yang Gan, a man of women¡¯s dreams. But there was an arrogance that enveloped Ao Yuetian and his eyes alone brought great pressure.


    ¡°En.¡±


    All Ao Yuetian did was faintly nod his head. There was no intention of him getting up and to greet them.


    Meng Yun started to introduce everyone.


    ¡°This is the Head disciple of the Silver Moon Clan, Mao Feng¡­ ¡±


    Meng Yun¡¯s attitude was slightly more respectful when he started to introduce the Silver Moon Clan.


    The Head disciple of the Silver Moon Clan had the same cultivation level as Yang Gan. On Mao Feng¡¯s left and right sat a red haired youth and a silver robed sword-user.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze landed on the red haired youth. Wasn¡¯t he the youth he had seen that day in the ancient temple?


    ¡°This is Li Hong, ranked 2nd of the Silver Moon Clan Core disciples.¡± Meng Yun only slightly mentioned him.


    Soon, the team of each Clan were announced.


    The Lin Moon Clan was led by Ao Yuetian. The Silver Moon Clan was led by Mao Feng. The Broken Moon Clan was led by Yang Gan.


    All three Head disciples had reached the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm, but it was obvious Ao Yuetian was stronger than the other two.


    Ao Yuetian was one of the Four Stars after all, and he stood a tier higher than the other two.


    ¡°The Broken Moon Clan even sends out disciples at the 4th Sky.¡± Several Core disciples discussed within the Lin Moon Clan.


    Indeed.


    In front of all these representatives, Zhao Feng¡¯s 4th Sky cultivation stood out.


    Some of the Core disciples of the Lin Moon Clan even said in disdain: ¡°Even if they send weaker Core disciples, we¡¯ll still be able to destroy that guy. It looks like the Broken Moon Clan has indeed fallen.¡±


    ¡°Quiet.¡± Ao Yuetian hmphed coldly and the pavilion instantly fell silent.


    He wasn¡¯t blaming these people for being rude, he just felt that it was embarrassing. From the beginning till now, he hadn¡¯t even looked clearly at the disciples of the Broken Moon Clan, and why the heck would he look at the trash at the 4th Sky?


    However, other disciples of his Clan had talked about ¡®comparing¡¯ themselves to him, wasn¡¯t that embarrassing?


    ¡°Has the genius that has talent comparable to an Earth Spiritual Body appeared yet?¡± Mao Feng of the Silver Moon Clan suddenly asked.


    Earth Spiritual Body!


    The expressions of the geniuses from both Clan¡¯s changed and a glint of light appeared in Bei Moi¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Sister Zhao will be arriving soon.¡±


    A rare smile appeared on Ao Yuetian¡¯s face.


    ¡°Sister Zhao is here.¡±


    Several Core disciples exclaimed.


    A quiet, goddess-like girl walked in from outside. Her beauty was incomparable and she looked like a delicate carving.


    She wore a long purple dress and was draped in green, she had eyes as clear as crystal and skin as smooth as jade.


    The second she walked inside the pavilion, many disciples were lost in that beauty.


    Apart from Mao Feng, the other two disciples of the Silver Moon Clan, the red haired Li Hong and silver robed sword-user were both dazed.


    ¡°That is the rumoured ¡®Purple Smoke Goddess¡¯? The beauty that has talent comparable to an Earth Spiritual Body and the one that received an inheritance? The rumours are far from the reality.¡±


    Mao Feng couldn¡¯t contain the love and stunned look in his eyes.


    ¡°Sister Zhao.¡±


    Ao Yuetian smiled and stood up to greet the Purple Smoke Goddess. His attitude towards her was far more welcoming than greeting the other disciples.


    Everyone else felt slightly jealous, but because of Ao Yuetian¡¯s overwhelming strength, there was nothing they could do.


    ¡°Yufei¡¯s late.¡± The Purple Smoke Goddess smiled faintly, as like a lotus blooming.


    But two people in the crowd were extremely surprised.


    ¡°It¡¯s her¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng and Bei Moi were stunned.

 210 Sparring 1

    ¡°It¡¯s her¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng and Bei Moi exchanged glances and they confirmed that the Purple Smoke Goddess was indeed Zhao Yufei, who left that day when they were still in the Guanjun Palace.


    In half a year¡¯s time, her original beauty had become even more charming. Her every action and smile was full of charm. When Zhao Feng returned to the Zhao family, the Zhao family had told him how stunning Zhao Yufei was.


    ¡°When Sister Yufei came back, she was like a goddess. Even Qiu Mengyu, the most beautiful girl of Sun Feather City, was below her in terms of looks.¡±


    Thinking about what the Zhao family had said, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t find it exaggerated at all.


    Zhao Yufei was a prodigy whose talent was comparable to the Earth Spiritual Body and she had received an Inheritance. Even the expressionless Bei Moi exclaimed, unable to accept this reality.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled and he remembered what had happened when Zhao Yufei had tested her talent.


    At that time, the colour of the ball was different and Lord Guanjun had thought that Zhao Yufei¡¯s talent was unique. It seemed like Zhao Yufei also had a Changeable Body, and it was even stronger than Sun Yuanhao¡¯s.


    ¡°Yufei, these are the friends from the Silver Moon Clan¡­ ¡± Meng Yun started to introduce everyone.


    In terms of status, the Silver Moon Clan was higher than the Broken Moon Clan, so he first started from ¡®Mao Feng¡¯, the head disciple of the Silver Moon Clan.


    Those that were introduced felt their heartbeats increase. The girl in front of them had received an Inheritance and she had the highest talent amongst them all.


    After finishing introducing the people from the Silver Moon Clan.


    Meng Yun¡¯s eyes glanced towards the three from the Broken Moon Clan and said nonchalantly: ¡°These are the Broken Moon Clan participants, led by head disciple Brother Yang Gan.¡±


    He only mentioned Yang Gan.


    ¡°It is my honour to meet the ¡®Purple Smoke Goddess¡¯, the most talented and beautiful girl of the three Clan¡¯s.¡± Yang Gan praised.


    However.


    When Zhao Yufei¡¯s gaze landed on the participants from the Broken Moon Clan, she was first dazed then filled with shock and joy: ¡°Brother Zhao Feng¡­ You¡¯re also here?¡±


    Zhao Yufei recognised Zhao Feng and Bei Moi, but she couldn¡¯t help but exclaim when she saw Zhao Feng¡¯s face: ¡°Brother Zhao Feng¡­ your eye?¡±


    Shua!


    A purple light flight and Zhao Yufei appeared in front of Zhao Feng, bringing a fragrant smell with her.


    ¡°Yufei, long time no see.¡± Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    His azure hair blew in the air, making him seem slightly weird.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart was moved. The Zhao Feng at this point in time was the same back at the Zhao family and Guanjun Palace - composed and calm. The confidence he had made her feel reliant on him.


    And now, Zhao Feng gave her a more mysterious feeling. She was sure that not only was Zhao Feng fine, the latter was far stronger than before.


    ¡°I was too excited.¡± Zhao Yufei turned around and greeted Bei Moi.


    ¡°So you guys know each other?¡± Yang Gan was slightly surprised.


    Ao Yuetian and Meng Yun from the Lin Moon Clan had ugly expressions. This was especially so for Meng Yun - he had purposely decided to not introduce Zhao Feng and Bei Moi, but they already knew the goddess.


    Ao Yuetian was also slightly angered. The trash he didn¡¯t look at seemed to have a good relationship with Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei smiled and simply introduced the two.


    Everyone understood - Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei both came from the Zhao family and they were disciples of the same Master with Bei Moi.


    Inside the pavilion.


    The awkwardness in the air fell. Everyone found some friends and they started to talk.


    Zhao Feng had seen the red haired Li Hong of the Silver Moon Clan a few days ago and he could be considered as someone he knew. But Zhao Feng was wary towards Li Hong - what was the relationship between him and the Scarlet Moon Clan?


    The topic of discussion soon turned to cultivation.


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s ¡®Moon God War¡¯ and the inheritances that Zhao Yufei and Bei Moi received were the centre of attention.


    Of course, everyone only mentioned them, but no one went deep into it.


    ¡°This Brother Zhao must have his reasons to be able to attend the Three Clan Party with the cultivation at just the 4th Sky.¡± Ao Yuetian decided to trouble Zhao Feng.


    Under normal circumstances he would be too disdainful to do so, but because of the relationship between him and Zhao Yufei, it had caught Ao Yuetian¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Brother Zhao¡¯s strength is ok.¡± Yang Gan could only reply.


    Zhao Feng was too lazy to reply and Bei Moi would definitely not help him. As for Zhao Feng¡¯s situation, Yang Gan could only brush through it.


    The disciples from the Lin Moon Clan and Silver Moon Clan had disdain and jealousy in their eyes. Maybe it was because Zhao Feng seemed to be on very good terms with Zhao Yufei and they were waiting for the former to lose face.


    But because Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t be bothered to respond and Bei Moi was expressionless all the time, they soon lost interest.


    Time passed quickly.


    At ten o¡¯clock, the discussion between the higher ups ended.


    Next was the long awaited sparring.


    Many of the high authority between the three Clan¡¯s gathered at the Lin Moon Clan¡¯s field.


    Every Clan had a respective corner of the field.


    The corner of the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°The disciples of this generation¡¯s Lin Moon Clan are stronger than expected.¡± Granny Liuyue had worry in her eyes.


    Hai Yun Master nodded his head: ¡°The difference between us and the Lin Moon Clan is too big - it¡¯s almost impossible for us to win, but if we can fight the Silver Moon Clan to a draw, the other two Clan¡¯s would look at us in a new light.¡±


    ¡°This is only what we can do.¡± First Elder sighed.


    Firstly.


    Lin Moon Clan¡¯s set up was too strong. Ao Yuetian had reached the peak 6th Sky and he was one of the Four Stars.


    Zhao Yufei and Meng Yun had both reached the peak 5th Sky and the former had received an Inheritance.


    In terms of personal and team strength, the Lin Moon Clan easily surpassed the other two.


    The Broken Moon Clan couldn¡¯t imagine beating the Lin Moon Clan - all they wished was to fight the Silver Moon Clan to a draw.


    But the Silver Moon Clan had one participant at the 6th Sky and the other two were at the 5th Sky. From the surface, they seemed stronger than the Broken Moon Clan.


    First Elder¡¯s gaze soon landed upon the composed Zhao Feng. He had a bit of hope in his heart that this disciple of his would bring a surprise.


    Only First Elder knew that Zhao Feng had received the Lightning Inheritance and his battle power was terrifying.


    At this time.


    Ao Yuetian from the Lin Moon Clan announced the start of the sparring.


    The entire sparring session was organised by the younger generation. The older generation would only spectate and they would give the occasional pointer but wouldn¡¯t interfere.


    ¡°Being the hosting Clan, I¡¯ll fight first. Which friend wants to spar with me?¡±


    Meng Yun stood at the centre of the field and he asked the Silver Moon Clan and Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°Me.¡±


    The red haired Li Hong of the Silver Moon Clan rose and a fiery aura appeared from his body.


    Fire Moon Technique!


    Li Hong¡¯s attack was chaotic and full of flames - it could turn an entire room into powder instantly.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. In terms of offense, Li Hong¡¯s Fire Moon Technique was similar to the Burning Wind Stance he had, but it had more power.


    Wind Cloud Piercing Moon Technique.


    Meng Yun held a fan and he sent lines of sharp true force that turned into silver streaks of wind that engulfed everything in their paths.


    In turns of pure offense, Meng Yun was slightly better than Li Hong, but this was only due to the difference in cultivation. However, the movement and agility of his attacks were more advanced and the casual movements he had were admirable.


    Piercing Moon Wind Carrying Stance.


    Meng Yun suddenly flapped his fan and he sent a tidal wave of silver air towards Li Hong, which caused the latter to be pushed back and become slightly injured.


    ¡°Thanks.¡±


    Meng Yun didn¡¯t continue to push forward or else, he could have forced Li Hong out of the sparring boundaries.


    Li Hong was defeated as he returned back to the Silver Moon Clan. The red robed Elder next to him shook his head and sighed: ¡°Hong¡¯er, you lost because of two reasons. One, all you wanted to was win. Second, the opponent was smarter than you.¡±


    Meng Yun won the first spar in ten moves.


    He was only ranked third and he already had such strength. This greatly pressured the older generation of the other two Clans.


    ¡°Which friend from the Broken Moon Clan would like to spar with me?¡±


    Meng Yun¡¯s gaze swept towards Yang Gan and co. and it landed on Bei Moi.


    He didn¡¯t have much confidence in beating Yang Gan, but if he challenged Zhao Feng, he would be ¡®bullying¡¯ the weak.


    Bei Moi was perfect for him - he had received an Inheritance and Meng Yun would feel accomplished if he defeated Bei Moi.


    Bei Moi walked onto the field expressionlessly and said: ¡°You¡¯re not my match.¡±


    ¡°Hehehe, brat, you¡¯re very arrogant.¡±


    Not only was Meng Yun surprised, the other disciples were too.


    ¡®Four Waves of the Northern Heavenly Water.¡¯


    Bei Moi thought and a sea of dark blue water appeared, bringing an immense pressure. Meng Yun felt his blood freeze and he found it hard to breathe. He finally realised how strong this expressionless youth was.


    Piercing Moon Wind Carrying Stance.


    Meng Yun once again used this move.


    Boom!


    The dark blue water crushed towards Meng Yun and it caused the latter to almost cough out blood.


    ¡°So strong.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s the one that received an Inheritance from the Broken Moon Clan?¡±


    The spectators exclaimed.


    Two or three moves later, Meng Yun was sent flying and he landed on the ground.


    Everyone broke out in discussion.


    Plop


    Meng Yun was full of regret and shock. Disciples that had received Inheritances were terrifying. If he knew this earlier, he would have challenged Zhao Feng, who was at the 4th Sky instead. Although he would be bullying the weak, it would be better than being defeated.

 211 Sparring 2

    The battle between Meng Yun and Bei Moi was one sided. Meng Yun, who had reached the peak 5th Sky, was defeated with only a few moves.


    At this point in time, the disciples of all three Clans were stunned. The reason why they were stunned was not only because of how strong Bei Moi was. It was also because of the Broken Moon Clan itself.


    Everytime the Three Clan Party was held, the Broken Moon Clan was last and ever since Hai Yun Master¡¯s generation, there hadn¡¯t been any more outstanding geniuses.


    ¡°The Inheritance he¡¯s received is not a normal one.¡± The Clan Master and Elders of the Broken Moon Clan exchanged glances.


    The Three Clans all had their own places of trial and it was rare for anyone to receive an Inheritance. Usually, only one in a hundred years would one get an Inheritance, but this generation each Clan had someone receive an Inheritance.


    But even then, there was differences in Inheritances. It was obvious that Bei Moi¡¯s Dark Water Inheritance was a powerful Inheritance and in Hai Yun Master¡¯s words - it was one of the best Inheritances of the Floating Crest Palace.


    ¡°The Broken Moon Clan has such a deadly character this generation.¡± Mao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    The strength that Bei Moi displayed was so strong that even he didn¡¯t have full confidence in winning.


    ¡°Let me go.¡± The silver robed sword-user next to Mao Feng said in a low voice.


    ¡°Shang Guanyu, be careful.¡± Mao Feng warned.


    Although Shang Guanyu was ranked third in the Silver Moon Clan Core disciples, he had received an Inheritance and in terms of battle prowess, he was even better than Li Hong.


    ¡°Brother Bei, be careful.¡±


    Shang Guanyu¡¯s gaze was as sharp as a sword and an unseeable sharpness appeared from him.


    Jiang!


    A cold flash pierced through the air towards Bei Moi.


    That one sword was like lightning in the night. Bei Moi¡¯s expression was solemn, he didn¡¯t think he would meet someone whose forte was sword.


    The three Clans didn¡¯t specialise in swords, but across the continent, it was extremely popular. Even now there were many sword Inheritances.


    The forte of the sword was offense. They believed that one sword could break ten thousand techniques.


    From the aura radiating from Shang Guanyu¡¯s sword strike, one could tell this was something that cultivators at the 5th Sky couldn¡¯t block.


    Dark Water Mountain!


    Bei Moi took a breath and the dark blue water around him rose in height, as if it was a ten thousand pound mountain. Those at the same cultivation as Bei Moi would be forced to cough out blood.


    Shang Guanyu¡¯s figure only paused slightly before the cold sword slashed slashed Bei Moi¡¯s Dark Water Mountain in half. But then, he himself was pushed back a few steps.


    ¡°What powerful offense!¡± The members of the three clans exclaimed.


    Bei Moi¡¯s Inheritances¡¯ forte was obviously defense, while Shang Guanyu¡¯s sword Inheritance was offense.


    On the field, the two figures exchanged moves and Shang Guanyu¡¯s sword strikes barraged on and on.


    ¡°Sword cultivators are indeed troublesome.¡± Ao Yuetian murmured as he remembered something.


    With his strength, he obviously didn¡¯t put Shang Guanyu into his eyes.


    But there was a genius of the thirteen clans who welded a three feet long sword and had the title ¡®One sword slaying the Heavens¡¯.


    It meant that one sword strike would defeat all the geniuses of this generation. That person was a girl. But using her one sword, she had crushed every male under her feet.


    Everytime, Ao Yuetian had been defeated by her. She was Cang Yuyue, the Head of the Four Stars and came from the ¡®Cloud Sword Clan¡¯, which was ranked 1st of the Thirteen Clans.


    Shang Guanyu was similar to Cang Yuyue in how they both trained in the sword.


    Shang Guanyu¡¯s offense could even threaten those at the 6th Sky and Bei Moi wasn¡¯t able to gain the upper hand in a short amount of time.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, what do you think the chances of Bei Moi winning is?¡± Yang Gan asked.


    ¡°Brother Bei will win. His Dark Water Inheritance specialises in defense, while sword cultivators focus on sharpness. If they don¡¯t succeed soon, their offense will drop.¡± Zhao Feng said confidently.


    Hearing this, First Elder and Yang Gan nodded their head. It wasn¡¯t only Zhao Feng who had such predictions.


    ¡°Dark Water Reversing Wave.¡±


    The dark water surrounding Bei Moi suddenly contracted then exploded outwards, and destroyed Shang Guanyu¡¯s attack.


    The latter was forced back tens of yards and he was puffing.


    ¡°Thanks.¡± Bei Moi said without emotion, as if this was normal.


    After beating the two, his gaze landed on Mao Feng. Challenging the Head disciple.


    The expressions of every disciple changed.


    If Bei Moi challenged Mao Feng and won, this would mean the entire Silver Moon Clan had been crushed by Bei Moi.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Mao Feng slowly stood up.


    ¡°Brother Bei, you¡¯ve expended a lot of energy during those two fights. Let me do it.¡±


    Yang Gan flashed onto the centre of the field.


    Bei Moi didn¡¯t argue and he expressionlessly walked back to the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s corner.


    Hai Yun Master nodded his head, Bei Moi¡¯s performance had given him face.


    At this point in time, on the field.


    The clash between the Head disciples had created a buzz.


    Yang Gan held an ancient gold long blade, which was full of dominance, as if a ruler was descending. Yang Gan¡¯s strength shocked the other disciples.


    Zhao Feng was also surprised. He didn¡¯t expect Yang Gan¡¯s strength to rise so much after the trial.


    A smug appeared on First Elder¡¯s expression.


    Yang Gan already had good comprehension and talent. Through this trial, his battle ability had risen greatly. Furthermore, the pressure brought upon by Zhao Feng and Bei Moi pushed out the potential.


    In just one move, Yang Gan had gained the upper hand. His blade was full of righteousness and dominance.


    After twenty moves, Mao Feng was slightly puffing and full of stun: ¡°What the heck is wrong with the Broken Moon Clan this time? Bei Moi might be strong, but that¡¯s because he¡¯s received an Inheritance. How can the Head disciple have such unbelievable strength as well?¡±


    ¡°Very strong.¡± Bei Moi murmured to himself.


    After reaching the 5th Sky, he had wanted to challenge Yang Gan. From the looks of it now, his chance of victory didn¡¯t exceed 20% and a draw was 40% at max.


    Zhao Feng had to admit that Yang Gan did indeed have the right to become the Head disciple. Under normal circumstances, without using his bloodline power or heavily use the Lightning Inheritance, he was definitely not Yang Gan¡¯s match. After all, he didn¡¯t have a solid defense like Bei Moi and he was lacking in cultivation.


    Thirty moves later, Yang Gan knocked Mao Feng back with a blade and he left a streak of blood on the latter¡¯s face.


    ¡°Brother Yang¡¯s face is indeed strong. I am definitely not your match.¡±


    Mao Feng wasn¡¯t too disappointed or crestfallen because he had done his best, but the difference between him and Yang Gan was too great.


    Yang Gan had also expended a lot of energy after the battle and he decided to rest. At his level, the only person he could challenge was Ao Yuetian and he needed to be at his peak state to do so.


    ¡°Their strength is ok. I thought that I wouldn¡¯t have the opportunity to fight this time.¡± Ao Yuetian didn¡¯t hide the arrogance within his voice.


    He didn¡¯t even put the Three Clan Party in his eyes. His goal was the Alliance Gathering, where his opponents would be Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong, Xu Zixuan, the other three Stars.


    After Yang Gan left, the atmosphere was weird.


    The strength that the Broken Moon Clan displayed was too terrifying and they had crushed the Silver Moon Clan.


    The Silver Moon Clan had no will to fight anymore. Meng Yun¡¯s expression was also slightly ugly.


    He didn¡¯t even put the disciples of the Broken Moon Clan in his eyes when he greeted them, but Bei Moi and Yang Gan both could easily defeat him.


    At this point in time.


    The Broken Moon Clan¡¯s power caused the other two Clans to be wary.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, aren¡¯t you going to go up?¡± First Elder said.


    His words caused the Broken Moon Clan members to look at him weirdly.


    Of the three representatives, Zhao Feng was the most mysterious one and even First Elder didn¡¯t know everything.


    Hmm?


    The eyes of Meng Yun and the Silver Moon Clan disciples lit up.


    That¡¯s right.


    The Broken Moon Clan might be strong this time and Yang Gan and Bei Moi weren¡¯t to be offended. But the Broken Moon Clan also had a weakness.


    This disciple at the 4th Sky might be ranked high inside the Clan, but it wasn¡¯t enough at the Three Clan Party.


    ¡°Hmph, I should pick the easiest one and show everyone how powerful the Lin Moon Clan is.¡±


    Meng Yun had made his decision. Furthermore, the relationship between Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei made him jealous.


    On the other side.


    ¡°You two, go and challenge Zhao Feng and win at least one round for the Silver Moon Clan.¡± Mao Feng murmured.


    Shang Guanyu and Li Hong nodded their heads as they heard this.


    The Silver Moon Clan had been utterly defeated by the Broken Moon Clan this time.


    Luckily at this time.


    Zhao Feng walked onto the field under First Elder¡¯s ¡®encouragement¡¯.


    Before he could say anything, Meng Yun and Li Hong both walked up at the same time.


    What the heck was going on?


    Zhao Feng paused. When was he so welcomed?


    ¡°What, does Brother Li Hong want to spar with him as well?¡± Meng Yun laughed.


    The two exchanged glances and they instantly knew what the other was thinking.


    The members of the three Clans first paused before understanding.


    They weren¡¯t dumb, the Three Clan Party represented the faces of the three Clans. Every participant would try to do their best and win.


    If one didn¡¯t even win one round, how embarrassing would that be?


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m very curious about Brother Zhao.¡±


    Li Hong¡¯s face turned slightly red.


    ¡°Same here.¡± Meng Yun coughed.


    The two didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of leaving - their faces were very thick.


    Even the Clans felt ashamed. Only Yang Gan and Bei Moi had gloating expressions.

 212 Sparring 3

    Seeing that both Meng Yun and Li Hong didn¡¯t want to leave.


    ¡°How about the two of you come at me together? It¡¯ll be less troublesome.¡± Zhao Feng said casually.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be overconfident!¡±


    ¡°Brat, do you know the height of the heavens?¡±


    Li Hong and Meng Yun were furious when they heard this.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words shocked the spectators. They had seen arrogant people, but never this arrogant.


    A measly cultivator at the 4th Sky had challenged two disciples at the 5th Sky.


    Of course.


    No matter how thick their faces were, Meng Yun and Li Hong obviously couldn¡¯t go at once, even if Zhao Feng was willing.


    They thought that Zhao Feng knew he had no chance of winning, so he said this.


    ¡°Aye, I was being nice.¡±


    Meng Yun and Li Hong almost spat out a mouthful of blood, this brat really didn¡¯t know what was good for him.


    ¡°Meng Yun, come back. Haven¡¯t you lost enough face yet?¡± Ao Yuetian humphed coldly with a dim expression.


    He felt that Meng Yun was ashaming the Clan by teaming up with another cultivator at the 5th Sky to bully a 4th Sky disciple.


    ¡°Yes, Brother Ao.¡±


    Meng Yun didn¡¯t dare to argue back and he retreated.


    Ao Yuetian was like the emperor, his fame had even spread among the Thirteen Clans. On the field, only Li Hong and Zhao Feng remained.


    Li Hong suppressed the excitement in his heart. This was probably the only spar that he would win.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s hair blew in the wind and gave off a queer aura. Li Hong felt his soul shake as the former stared at him.


    ¡°Brother Li, admit defeat. You¡¯re not my match.¡±


    An invisible wave of mental energy charged into Li Hong¡¯s heart.


    ¡°You¡­ ¡±


    Li Hong¡¯s body froze.


    The next instant, he felt limitless amounts of lightning ark down from the sky and the earth crumbled, becoming hell.


    When Zhao Feng had returned back to the Clan, he had comprehended more of the Lightning Inheritance. He could now merge some of the Lightning Inheritance into his mental energy and this gave it unbelievable power.


    Not good!


    The second Li Hong fell into the illusion, he felt a gust of wind.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng sent him flying with one kick.


    Hua!


    The disciples all broke out into chaos. What the heck had happened?


    ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s a mental energy skill. This brat¡¯s knows such weird and unusual techniques.¡±


    ¡°Although it¡¯s unusual, one can¡¯t block against it. The Ancient Shrine, ranked 2nd of the Thirteen Clans is an example.¡±


    The higher ups of the three Clans exchanged glances. At this point in time, Li Hong sat uselessly on the ground.


    ¡°Thanks.¡± Zhao Feng said nonchalantly.


    Those from the Silver Moon Clan had ugly expressions. Even Zhao Feng, who had the lowest cultivation, was so strong - Li Hong had been defeated without any resistance.


    ¡°Mental energy technique¡­ ¡± Ao Yuetian fell silent.


    He suddenly remembered ¡®Lin Tong¡¯, someone ranked second of the Four Stars. Of the Four Stars, the most mysterious one was without a doubt Lin Tong.


    He came from the Ancient Shrine and he had a rare bloodline which allowed him to cultivate the most precious skill of the Ancient Shrine - the ¡®Heavenly Absent Eyes¡¯.


    When Lin Tong fully focused his ¡®Heavenly Absent Eyes¡¯, his opponent would die usually in one move.


    Some of the geniuses who Lin Tong beat had their mental energy shattered and they would become crazy. Those that didn¡¯t become crazy would have a deep image of Lin Tong left in their hearts.


    Even Ao Yuetian, who dared to challenge Cang Yuyue, didn¡¯t dare to challenge Lin Tong easily, because the latter was far too queer and his attacks were hard to defend against.


    Zhao Feng in front of him also specialised in mental energy.


    Of course, Ao Yuetian wouldn¡¯t put Zhao Feng in his eyes because it was like child play from his point of view. The Four Stars were at the pinnacle of the tower and they suppressed all the other prodigies.


    ¡°Who else wants to spar with me?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled at Meng Yun. The latter froze but he still stood up.


    He believed that his heart and mind was strong - therefore, he wasn¡¯t scared of Zhao Feng.


    As long as he wasn¡¯t scared of his opponent''s mental energy, victory was easy.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, I admit that I underestimated you, but don¡¯t think that you can defeat me with the same means.¡± Meng Yun snickered coldly.


    ¡°Hehe, is that so? I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Zhao Feng laughed lightly and the queer aura surrounding him became stronger.


    Meng Yun warily protected is mind, then he left after images in the air before leaping towards Zhao Feng.


    At the peak 5th Sky, Meng Yun¡¯s battle power couldn¡¯t be looked down upon.


    Ta!


    Zhao Feng exclaimed and he sent a wave of mental energy as loud as thunder at Meng Yun. Although the latter was fast, it wasn¡¯t faster than thought.


    Boom!


    Meng Yun¡¯s figure shook and his blood boiled. His face turned instantly pale and a streak of blood appeared from his lips.


    The disciples from all three Clans were shocked. Even the older generation of the Clans were surprised - they didn¡¯t expect Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy technique to have such power.


    Li Fuji was correct - mental energy was Zhao Feng¡¯s true talent. Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy attacks contained insights gained from the Lightning Inheritance. Zhao Feng had now fully entered the first floor of the Lightning Inheritance.


    How was this possible?


    Meng Yun waved his fan furiously and he sent a wave of silver wind at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng stood still and he didn¡¯t make any attempt to dodge or evade. Instead, a cold snicker sounded from him.


    Lightning Wind Palm!


    He suddenly thrust out a palm causing thunder to boom and arcs of lightning like spider webs to appear.


    The second he made this move, the expressions of the Elders from the three Clans changed.


    ¡°He¡¯s probably reached the fifth level of the Lightning Wind Palm, which is comparable to the pinnacle of this skill.¡± First Elder exclaimed.


    In an instant, Meng Yun¡¯s Piercing Moon Wind-Carrying Stance was destroyed and arcs of lightning enveloped his body.


    He then lost consciousness.


    Plop.


    Everyone only saw blood leak from Meng Yun¡¯s ears, nose and eyes before her fainted.


    ¡°Brother Meng.¡± Several disciples of the Lin Moon Clan came forward to help.


    Zhao Feng stood still in the dark night sky. His blowing hair and one eye shook everyone¡¯s heart and he caused the hairs of some to stand up.


    This brat is terrifying.


    The disciples of all three Clans thought.


    They didn¡¯t expect that the scariest one of the Broken Moon Clan to be Zhao Feng, who had the lowest cultivation.


    Not only did Zhao Feng possess mental energy, he also had extreme battle power. This could be seen from the palm he had sent Meng Yun flying with.


    Li Hong and Meng Yun both wanted to squash soft persimmons (an idiom for picking on the weak), but they had stepped on a landmine instead.


    ¡°Who else?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze scanned the crowd.


    The three Core disciples of the Silver Moon Clan were silent. Shang Guanyu didn¡¯t have much of a chance in winning and Mao Feng had just fought before, expending some energy. If he lost to a brat at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm¡­ all of the Silver Moon Clan¡¯s face would be lost.


    ¡°To maintain fairness, everyone can only fight two battles in a row.¡±Ao Yuetian suddenly said.


    This rule was to prevent others from continuously tiring one out.


    ¡°Ok.¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head and walked off.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s departure, the three Core disciples of the Broken Moon Clan had all showed off their moves. This time, the Broken Moon Clan had washed away all the shame from before.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your Lightning Wind Palm seems to have reached the 5th level, just one below the highest one?¡±


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s eyes twinkled as if he was curious.


    Zhao Feng obviously knew what he meant. Those that had trained the Lightning Wind Palm to the highest level had all died.


    ¡°It might take one or two years to reach the 6th level.¡± Zhao Feng said expressionlessly.


    His Lightning Wind Palm had been perfected to the 7th level. At the same time, the original 5th level was far stronger than before, since Zhao Feng had merged the insights from the Lightning Inheritance into it. Not only that, the use and flow of it was far smoother.


    Hai Yun Master obviously didn¡¯t know this and thought: ¡°This Zhao Feng seems to be perfecting the Lightning Wind Palm, I just don¡¯t know whether he¡¯ll live or die when he reaches the 6th level.¡±


    If Zhao Feng died due to the Lightning Wind Palm, he would obviously feel better.


    The sparring continued.


    After that, the Lin Moon Clan and SIlver Moon Clan clashed.


    Shang Guanyu challenged Zhao Yufei, who also had an Inheritance. Zhao Yufei had reached the peak 5th Sky and she had gained an Inheritance in the trial.


    After exchanging twenty or so moves, Zhao Yufei used a tactic similar to Bei Moi¡¯s to defeat Shang Guanyu.


    ¡°What Inheritance did Yufei receive?¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to find any obvious answer.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s movement skill was like before - agile and light, just like Zhao Feng¡¯s illusion fish technique.


    In terms of offense, it was sharp and agile. In terms of defense, it was considered strong as well, or else it wouldn¡¯t have been able to block Shang Guanyu¡¯s barrage of attacks. But overall, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to see anything special about it.


    After winning, Zhao Yufei continued to challenge Bei Moi.


    Inheritance vs Inheritance.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s speed and attacks were still graceful and it was beautiful to look at.


    Zhao Feng kept on inspecting with his left eye and he found that the true force within Zhao Yufei¡¯s body was transparent and pure - it had even merged with her blood so when used, everything flowed freely.


    Zhao Yufei and Bei Moi exchanged hundreds of moves and they fought to a standstill.


    Bei Moi was forced to defend most of the time, but since his forte was defense anyways, he didn¡¯t lose. The two ended as a draw after a hundred moves.


    Zhao Feng seemed to sense something , the Inheritance that Zhao Yufei had received should be a supporting type. At the same time, he felt that the bloodline that Zhao Yufei had wasn¡¯t the normal either or else how could her true force be so pure and transparent? Furthermore, Zhao Yufei was still full of energy and this was after two battles.


    Zhao Yufei was slightly sad, she had wanted to challenge Zhao Feng or Yang Gan after, but she realised that she had already fought two battles in a row.

 213 Sparring 4

    The battle between Bei Moi and Zhao Yufei was a great performance and it pushed the atmosphere to a peak. The three Clan Party should be entering the last stages now and it was usually at this time when the Head disciples all fought each other.


    However, Ao Yuetian slowly stood up and said: ¡°This generation¡¯s Three Clan Party is more exciting than usual. If no one has any objection, the sparring ends here.¡±


    What!?


    The members of the three Clans were all stunned.


    Was Ao Yuetian ending the sparring?


    Being the host, wasn¡¯t he going to come out and fight?


    The Head disciples of the Broken Moon Clan and Lin Moon Clan had slightly ugly expressions.


    ¡°Is Ao Yuetian too disdainful to fight us?¡± Yang Gan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    ¡°Ao Yuetian¡­ So what if you¡¯re one of the Four Stars? You still can¡¯t humiliate the Lin Moon Clan.¡±


    A surge of anger rose from Mao Feng.


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s actions was like slapping them in the faces.


    ¡°Ao Yuetian, of course we have an objection! If you, the best Head disciple of the three Clan¡¯s doesn¡¯t even fight, how would this Three Clan Party be considered complete?¡±


    Mao Feng slowly walked out and his battle intent surged.


    ¡°The Thirteen Clan Alliance is my real fighting place, your strength is not enough. But if you really want to fight, you and Yang Gan can fight me together. Only this way would it be slightly interesting.¡± Ao Yuetian arrogantly said.


    Hearing this, the crowd instantly started to curse him.


    ¡°Ao Yuetian, don¡¯t be too overconfident!¡±


    ¡°Ao Yuetian, I bet you¡¯re as scared as a rat and too scared to fight?¡±


    Facing the barrage of cursing, Ao Yuetian didn¡¯t get angry: ¡°I just don¡¯t want to waste time.¡±


    ¡°Ao Yuetian, it¡¯s not possible for both of us to fight you at once. However, if you really are that strong, then fight one after another.¡± Yang Gan said deeply.


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s attitude had offended the other two Clan¡¯s.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Ao Yuetian had to come and battle them after facing so much pressure. In reality, he was trying to gain fame for himself, but Yang Gan didn¡¯t fall into his trap.


    Or else the fame he would¡¯ve gained would¡¯ve been immense. Imagine beating two Head disciples at once?


    The most important thing was that he would be able to show off in front of the girl of his dreams.


    Thinking up to here, Ao Yuetian glanced at Zhao Yufei from the corner of eyes, but he found that the latter was focused on the three disciples of the Broken Moon Clan.


    In the centre of the field.


    The two prodigies faced off.


    Ao Yuetian stood with his hands behind his back and although he didn¡¯t move, a pressure started to emit from him.


    Mao Feng took a deep breath. Only when he faced Ao Yuetian did he finally realise how terrifying the opponent was. The pressure that Ao Yuetian bore upon him wasn¡¯t any weaker than those at the 7th Sky.


    Mao Feng didn¡¯t dare to underestimate his opponent and he quickly condensed his True Force, forming a layer of silver light.


    Flying Cloud Doppleganger!


    In the dark night sky, silver after images of Mao Feng could been seen circling Ao Yuetian.


    In terms of speed, Mao Feng was definitely one of the best amongst the Three Clan¡¯s.


    In just a short instant, he had circled Ao Yuetian once and a storm of silver lights had enveloped Ao Yuetian.


    Thousand Blade Slice!


    Mao Feng had finally established this killing move by combining it with his insane speed skill.


    This skill was very deadly and in theory, could slice someone into a ¡®Thousand layered cake¡¯.


    The hearts of many spectators went cold as they saw the lines of silver light slash towards Ao Yuetian. However, the latter didn¡¯t even move and he still stood with his hands behind his back.


    ¡°Moon God War Body.¡±


    A silver glow radiated from Ao Yuetian¡¯s body, which was as clear as glass.


    ¡°He actually learnt Moon God War.¡±


    ¡°Moon God War Body is one of the killing moves of this skill.¡±


    Exclamations sounded from the other two Clans.


    Moon God War was a prohibited skill and it was similar to an inheritance because it contained every aspect - speed, power, defense. Inheritances didn¡¯t mean that one would be strong. Some world-shocking skills could allow one to rule the world.


    Moon God War Body!


    The lines of silver light slashed on Ao Yuetian¡¯s body, and the silver lights, which could easily slice through Low grade Mortal weapons, only rippled faintly before vanishing.


    The moon light glow surrounding Ao Yuetian made him seem like a god that had descended.


    ¡°What a unique skill. It contains insights from Moon Light, as well as the flexible defense similar to Bei Moi¡¯s ¡®Dark Water Inheritance¡¯.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Under the enhanced vision of his left eye, he could see more clearly. Furthermore, Zhao Feng could see that Ao Yuetian had something that others didn¡¯t and that was bloodline power.


    This was the reason he could cultivate the prohibited skill Moon God War.


    Mao Feng¡¯s move wasn¡¯t able to harm Ao Yuetian a single bit.


    ¡°Lose.¡±


    Ao Yuetian waved his hand and a bright silver moon shot out from his palm. Although it was beautiful and majestic, the damage that it could cause couldn¡¯t be underestimated.


    Boom----


    Mao Feng was immediately sent flying by that blow and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.


    Everyone was stunned, dazed.


    He was far too powerful.


    Ao Yuetian was like an incarnate of the Moon God. His offense and defense stood at the peak.


    ¡°Using his bloodline power to active the prohibited skill. No wonder he¡¯s so arrogant.¡±


    With his left eye, Zhao Feng saw that the power in Ao Yuetian¡¯s body had risen to another level.


    Unfortunately, skills that needed bloodline power to activate wouldn¡¯t be able to used by him even if he could comprehend them.


    This was because Ao Yuetian and his bloodline power were different types.


    In just one move, Mao Feng was defeated.


    The spectators took a while to recover from their shock and they all took in cold breaths.


    Immediately.


    Yang Gan walked up onto the stage. He didn¡¯t have any fear in his eyes - even if he was going to lose, he would use all his strength. Only through this way would he be able to improve.


    Dominant Moon Heavenly Blade.


    Yang Gan sliced with his ancient golden sword, which radiated a dominant aura, and it formed layers and layers of blade waves.


    Compared to when fighting Mao Feng, Yang Gan was even stronger now. No one knew if he had hidden his strength before or the potential had just been squeezed out.


    Dominant Moon Heavenly River Rage!


    Yang Gan¡¯s attacks flowed one after another and they even caused the moon light glow on Ao Yuetian¡¯s body to fade.


    The latter¡¯s expression changed slightly as he stretched a hand out and threw lights the shape of half moons at Yang Gan.


    Ding Ding Dang-------


    Sparks flew on Yang Gan¡¯s long sword and it forced him backwards.


    Three moves later.


    Several gashed were left on his body.


    ¡°Moon God Doppleganger.¡±


    Ao Yuetian turned into a blur and three figures hit Yang Gan at the same time.


    Wah!


    Yang Gan instantly spat out a mouthful of blood and he dropped his blade.


    Shua.


    The three figures returned back into one.


    ¡°So all three were real¡­ The Moon God War is indeed powerful.¡±


    Yang Gan wiped the blood from his lips and he admitted his defeat.


    After Ao Yuetian won, he surveyed the remaining disciples.


    At this moment, he had proved that the words he had said earlier weren¡¯t arrogant. One had to admit that even if the two attacked together, Ao Yuetian would still win.


    ¡°Him having the title of the top disciple amongst the three Clans is indeed correct.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head, Ao Yuetian did have rights to be arrogant. When one reached his level, the Three Clan Party wouldn¡¯t be put into his eyes.


    Zhao Feng analysed that even if he used his bloodline power and Lightning Inheritances, the most he could do was fight Ao Yuetian to a draw.


    After all, Ao Yuetian also had bloodline power and he had cultivated a powerful prohibited skill.


    But only if Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was a bit higher and he had comprehended more of the Lightning Inheritance and mental energy techniques, would he have the probability of winning.


    ¡°Hehe, if no one has any objections, then the sparring comes to an end.¡±


    Ao Yuetian surveyed the field.


    Bei Moi was unwilling and he decided to challenge him. He took out the Gold Green Shirt he had gotten in the Trial.


    ¡°If anyone of you want to fight, we¡¯ll meet at the Thirteen Clan¡¯s Alliance Banquet.¡±


    Ao Yuetian rejected the offer to fight again. With his strength and record of beating Yang Gan and Mao Feng, he did indeed have the right to decline the battle.


    ¡°I have an objection.¡±


    A soft, clear voice of a girl could be heard.


    Everyone glanced over and saw that it was the ¡®Purple Smoke Goddess¡¯, Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Oh? What objection does Yufei have?¡± Ao Yuetian asked curiously.


    ¡°Brother Ao is ending the sparring too fast. I haven¡¯t fought an intense match yet.¡± Zhao Yufei said.


    ¡°Could Yufei want to spar with me?¡±


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he revealed a smile. He was too disdainful to fight anyone else, but if this junior martial sister of his wanted to spar with him, he would.


    In terms of beauty, talent and aura, Zhao Yufei was the ideal woman for him.


    ¡°No, I want to challenge Brother Zhao Feng.¡± Zhao Yufei said calmly and she walked onto the field.


    Challenge Zhao Feng?


    The disciples all looked at the one-eyed azure haired youth. That youth was extremely mysterious, but what did he have to cause the beauty of the Lin Moon Clan to challenge him?


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s expression stiffened, but he didn¡¯t say anything. All he did was look at Zhao Feng with squinted eyes.


    ¡°Why does Yufei have this thought?¡±


    Zhao Feng walked out with curiosity on his face.


    Back in the Zhao family and Guanjun Palace, he had sparred with her many times.


    ¡°For a long time, Brother Zhao Feng has been mysterious and powerful in my heart. One year ago, I only had admiration, praise and helplessness.¡± Zhao Yufei sighed, but her eyes shone with battle intent.


    Zhao Feng paused. He felt a strong will for battle come from Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei had complex emotions. One year ago, the youth in front of her had beaten her time and time again. He had crushed her pride so much that she even admired him, unable to have any thoughts of resistance.


    ¡°Over the past half year, my strength has been increasing rapidly and I believed that I had the courage to challenge anyone, no matter their strength. But from the moment I saw Brother Zhao Feng, I realised that the helpless feeling was still there.¡± Zhao Yufei¡¯s voice turned slightly bitter, but the battle intent in her eyes became stronger.


    Hearing this, Ao Yuetian and co. had thoughtful expressions.


    ¡°So it looks like I¡¯m a knot in your heart. To undo this knot and have the belief and courage to challenge anyone, you must beat me.¡±


    Zhao Feng instantly saw what the problem was.

 214 Advice

    Hearing what Zhao Feng had said, the spectators instantly understood why Zhao Yufei had challenged Zhao Feng.


    It was hard to imagine how powerful Zhao Feng was back then to be able to leave such a deep impression in Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart. Others might not understand Zhao Feng¡¯s path, but Zhao Yufei had witnessed Zhao Feng¡¯s miracles.


    She had seen Zhao Feng surpass herself and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn¡¯t catch up with him .


    In the same generation, when geniuses clashed together, legends were made. But when a genius was too strong, it was mournful for the others.


    At least in the Sun Feather City and Guanjun Palace, Zhao Feng was like this. A monster who had surpassed geniuses of this generation one after another.


    Zhao Linlong, Zhao Yufei, Feng Hanyue, Nan Gongfan, Yang Qingshan and even Bei Moi¡­ any one of them was a prodigy back then.


    But unfortunately, Zhao Yufei had witnessed everything. In her impression, the calm and confident youth had become an undefeatable figure. Now, Zhao Yufei had also grown and her talent that was comparable to an Earth Spiritual Body had been found.


    Meeting once again, her cultivation had succeeded in exceeding Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    However, when the two met, Zhao Yufei realised that she was still the old her and Zhao Feng was still that undefeatable youth.


    This was where her heart knot was. Being a prodigy and having talent comparable to the Earth Spiritual Body, she had her own pride and she didn¡¯t allow her heart knot to exist.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, I¡¯ve waited a long time for this battle.¡± Zhao Yufei smiled.


    At least from the start of the challenge, her courage and confidence had reached a point where she could suppress the heart knot.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s smile caused the other disciples to become dazed. Ao Yuetian¡¯s heart was slightly jealous. Why couldn¡¯t the person in Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart knot be him?


    Could it be that him, one of the Four Stars, wasn¡¯t as powerful as a brat at the 4th Sky?


    Ao Yuetian screamed unfair in his heart.


    At least in Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart, Ao Yuetian wasn¡¯t so strong that he couldn¡¯t be surpassed.


    Reality was so. Zhao Yufei¡¯s emotions towards Zhao Feng contained admiration, praise and even a bit of dependency. After all, no girl didn¡¯t like powerful men.


    But the Zhao Yufei this moment was different from before.


    Under the gazes of everyone.


    Zhao Feng start to think as his azure hair blew in the wind.


    Zhao Yufei was waiting, if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t accept the challenge, there was nothing she could do. Furthermore, if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use all his strength when fighting, the knot in her heart wouldn¡¯t be fixed.


    Zhao Feng also knew this.


    The disciples started to discuss:


    ¡°What¡¯s with the past of this Zhao Feng? How could he suppress the Purple Smoke Goddess in the past, who had talent comparable to an Earth Spiritual Body?¡±


    ¡°Changeable Bodies are different and unique. Maybe Zhao Yufei¡¯s talent hadn¡¯t been found yet. Furthermore, their resources were limited.¡±


    Soon.


    ¡°Yufei, I can¡¯t accept your challenge.¡± Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    Declining to fight?


    The crowd were all surprised. Any other disciple would be willing to battle the Purple Smoke Goddess. Even Ao Yuetian would be willing to do so.


    ¡°Why? Is Brother Zhao Feng scared that my confidence will shatter when I lose? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not that weak. Furthermore, I still conserved some strength in the fights before.¡± Zhao Yufei said confidently.


    Hearing this, the representatives of the three Clans were all stunned.


    Zhao Yufei had conserved some of her strength in the fights before. Didn¡¯t this mean that her true strength was stronger than Bei Moi and Mao Feng and only comparable to Yang Gan?


    ¡°Because you have no chance of winning and now isn¡¯t the time.¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    What!?


    The members of all three Clans were shocked.


    ¡°What an arrogant bastard.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, I think he¡¯s like a rat, too scared to fight.¡±


    The disciples of the Lin Moon Clan showed their disdain and started cursing.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart shook and her face went pale when she heard this. She understood Zhao Feng, the latter wouldn¡¯t say anything he wasn¡¯t confident at.


    ¡°The probability of me and you winning is 50-50, but unfortunately¡­ because of your heart knot, you¡¯ll be unable to resist my mental energy attack. In terms of resistance, you wouldn¡¯t even be as strong as those weaker than you.¡± Zhao Feng analysed calmly.


    ¡°Preposterous!¡±


    ¡°Ignorant brat, do you think you can fight Yufei to a draw?¡± The disciples of the Lin Moon Clan cursed aloud.


    But when Zhao Yufei heard this, she didn¡¯t have any suspicious. In the past, she always lost to Zhao Feng. A 50-50 win rate was already very high for her.


    Unfortunately, Zhao Feng¡¯s queer mental energy attacks had several times more damage against her because the heart knot in Zhao Yufei was Zhao Feng himself.


    ¡°So now¡¯s not the time for our battle. How about¡­ We leave it till the Alliance Banquet in half a year¡¯s time?¡± Zhao Feng finally gave his answer.


    ¡°Alliance Banquet. I¡¯ll be waiting for that day¡­ ¡± Zhao Yufei nodded her head and expectation appeared in her eyes.


    Half a year¡¯s time was enough for her to find a way to resist Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy attack.


    Furthmore.


    The Alliance Banquet of the Thirteen Clans was the true stage and the Four Stars were unreachable peaks.


    One would be excited just at the thought of competing with the peak geniuses in this generation. This was the dream of limitless prodigies.


    ¡°Promise.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath; he had dragged it on at least.


    He didn¡¯t want to fight Zhao Yufei right now.


    If Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t have the heart knot, she might be able to fight Zhao Feng with her unknown bloodline power and maybe even force the latter to use one of his killing moves - this was something that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to see.


    Furthermore, once Zhao Feng used his mental energy attack, Zhao Yufei wouldn¡¯t be able to block it.


    This was the truth.


    Although Zhao Feng had entered the way of mental energy quite late, he still knew some basic things about it. If he knew the weakness of the enemy and used a mental energy attack, the damage would increase dramatically.


    As Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei left, the sparring session had come to an end.


    The azure haired one eyed youth gave everyone a mysterious feeling.


    After the sparring ended, the Three Clan Party didn¡¯t end.


    Next was a tea session where everyone would give each other advice.


    The disciples, including Zhao Feng and Bei Moi, would all learn a lot after the sparring session. After all, no one apart from Ao Yuetian had the ability to crush everyone else.


    Ao Yuetian led the pointers because in terms of strength, cultivation and knowledge, he had exceeded the others by far. However, Ao Yuetian wasn¡¯t respectable. His words would be on dot, but he would be savage at the same time.


    Mao Feng and the other two of the Silver Moon Clan were given pointers by Ao Yuetian.


    ¡°Thanks for Brother Ao¡¯s advice, we have learnt a lot.¡±


    Mao Feng was very humble. Ao Yuetian was someone that could beat him in one or two moves and he did indeed have the right to teach him.


    After that.


    Ao Yuetian evaluated the three from the Broken Moon Clan.


    For Yang Gan, Ao Yuetian gave a rare ¡®not bad¡¯.


    ¡°With Brother Yang¡¯s strength, you can probably reach the top twenty in the Alliance Banquet.¡± Ao Yuetian added.


    Just top twenty?


    The disciples were all dazed. After all, Yang Gan¡¯s performance was shocking and he had beat even Mao Feng.


    ¡°Hmph, in the previous Alliance Banquet¡¯s 70-80% of the top twenty places were taken by the top 3 Clans.¡±


    A hint of mockery appeared on Ao Yuetian¡¯s face.


    Yang Gan smiled: ¡°I heard this as well. The top three Clans: the Cloud Sword Clan, Ancient Shrine and Mystic True Clan all have long histories and powerful strength. In the previous Stars, no other Clan had the right to become one. This time, Brother Ao became one of the Four Stars and gave our three Clan¡¯s face.¡±


    The disciples were moved when they heard this.


    The disciples that the top three Clans raised were all peak tier and it wasn¡¯t easy for Ao Yuetian to become a Star.


    The Four Stars: Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong, Xu Zixuan, Ao Yuetian.¡±


    The Four Stars stood at the top of the limitless geniuses of the Thirteen Clans and Zhao Feng had to admit that Ao Yuetian had the ability to look over the younger generation of the Three Clans.


    Even if he used his killing moves, Zhao Feng might not be able to beat Ao Yuetian. Furthermore, being one of the Four Stars, how could Ao Yuetian not have his own killing move?


    The strength that Ao Yuetian displayed at the Three Clan Party was only the tip of an iceberg.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any thoughts of showing off and Ao Yuetian was too disdainful to fight with Zhao Feng right now.


    In Ao Yuetian¡¯s eyes, the Three Clan Party was only a formality and only the other three Stars would be his match.


    Next.


    Ao Yuetian have pointers to Bei Moi and Zhao Feng.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t comprehended the real and core parts of Water.¡±


    Ao Yuetian coldly glanced at Bei Moi. Even geniuses such as Bei Moi were looked down upon. The latter had received the Dark Water Inheritance, which contained insights of Water.


    This was Bei Moi¡¯s forte, but Ao Yuetian was disdainful to look at it, it could be seen how powerful the latter was.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but remember that Ao Yuetian¡¯s Moon God War also contained insights from Water apart from moon light.


    Bei Moi was expressionless and he didn¡¯t say anything. There was nothing he could do.


    At last, it was time to give Zhao Feng pointers.


    ¡°As for you¡­ ¡±


    A cold smile appeared on Ao Yuetian¡¯s lips: ¡°Lightning is one of the most powerful laws. Your rough use of it is like playing with fire. As for your mental energy skills, they are nothing in front of the successor of the Ancient Shrine. All he needs to do is look at you once for you to lose.¡±

 215 Cultivation

    Ao Yuetian¡¯s advice for Zhao Feng was bare and without restraint.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s reaction was the same as Bei Moi¡¯s - expressionless and no response, as if he was a wooden head. The disciples who had received pointers from Ao Yuetian would accept it no matter how bad it was.


    The members from the Silver Moon Clan even had to smile and praise him.


    The strong ruled the world. This was the law of the cultivation world.


    Even if a master farted, it would smell good.


    Ao Yuetian stood at the peak of power and he had the qualifications to give others pointers.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, Brother Bei, Brother Yue is correct. We should accept and learn from this. Only then can we improve.¡±


    Yang Gan thought that Zhao Feng and Bei Moi weren¡¯t happy and he started to encourage them.


    Although everyone thought Ao Yuetian was arrogant, they had to admit that he was on the dot.


    But Yang Gan didn¡¯t know that the reason why Zhao Feng and Bei Moi didn¡¯t reply wasn¡¯t because they were unhappy, but they were too lazy to respond.


    Bei Moi was always expressionless and he knew that what Ao Yuetian said was true. However, he didn¡¯t like Ao Yuetian because he had challenged Ao Yuetian, but the latter had been too disdainful to fight him. This was what made Bei Moi angry.


    As for Zhao Feng. Although he didn¡¯t like Ao Yuetian, he knew that the latter wasn¡¯t trying to trick him.


    Lightning Wind Palm was originally an incomplete skill and although Zhao Feng had tried to improve it, he didn¡¯t dare to use all of his Lightning Inheritance on it. Therefore, it looked rough.


    This was why Ao Yuetian said that Zhao Feng¡¯s use of Lightning was rough.


    Apart from that.


    Ao Yuetian had said that Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy skills were bad, especially when compared to the successor of the Ancient Shrine.


    How long had Zhao Feng been learning mental energy skills?


    The improvements that he made in a few days was comparable to decades of others. If the prodigies of the Ancient Shrine knew this, they would probably go find a block of tofu and commit suicide. But Ao Yuetian didn¡¯t know the specifics and he had compared Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy, which he had learn a few days, with the geniuses of the Ancient Shrine.


    ¡°It looks like what Ao Yuetian said is all true, but people don¡¯t like to hear the truth especially when it¡¯s said without restraint.¡±


    Zhao Feng admired Ao Yuetian¡¯s sharp eyes.


    This meant that everyone¡¯s weaknesses were seen by Ao Yuetian. His strength and experience exceeded others by far. This was also why he was disdainful to attend the Three Clan Party.


    No wonder he could be one of the Four Stars.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t unhappy at all. What Ao Yuetian had said was the truth, but the latter didn¡¯t know the specifics and he had underestimated him.


    ¡°Could Brother Ao go into more detail?¡±


    Interest appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. He was curious as to what Ao Yuetian had said about defeating the opponent in one glance.


    ¡°Lin Tong is the most mysterious and terrifying person of the Four Stars. He has a unique bloodline and he has cultivated the most precious skill of the Ancient Shrine - the Heavenly Absent Eye. When he uses the Heavenly Absent Eye, just one glance would cause the opponent to break down.¡±


    When Ao Yuetian mentioned Lin Tong, his face was full of wariness.


    ¡°Just one glance to win, that¡¯s far too terrifying!¡±


    ¡°So queer, how can there be such a skill in this world?¡±


    The disciples all exclaimed.


    ¡°No one can block his Heavenly Absent Eyes. Apparently, even those at the 7th Sky wouldn¡¯t able to block one glance of his.¡± Ao Yuetian took a deep breath.


    Heavenly Absent Eyes?


    Zhao Feng murmured in his heart. Although he had received the Heart Controlling Technique, it was definitely not as good as the Heavenly Absent Eyes.


    One could imagine that Lin Tong had achieved a high level in terms of mental energy.


    ¡°If Lin Tong, who is ranked second, is already so terrifying, then how strong would Cang Yuyue, who¡¯s first, be?¡±


    Everyone was full of respect and wariness towards the Four Stars.


    Ao Yuetian was an example. He had only showed the tip of an iceberg this time and of the Four Stars, Ao Yuetian was ranked last.


    Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong, Xu Zixuan and Ao Yuetian.


    Everyone remembered these four names. Of the disciples present, almost all of them had the right to participate in the Alliance Banquet and to understand the opponent¡¯s situation beforehand was a good thing for them.


    An hour later.


    The tea session ended, which also symbolised the end of the Three Clan Party.


    ¡°Ok, we shall meet five months later at the Alliance Banquet.¡± Ao Yuetian stood up and announced.


    On the same night, everyone stayed at the Lin Moon Clan.


    Near the pond, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei walked side by side and under the moonlight, their figures were stretched.


    Zhao Feng calculated the time and he realised that he had just become fifteen.


    On this continent, sixteen years old meant you were an adult, whereas fifteen years old meant you were still a youth. But Zhao Feng was always calm and he gave others a feeling he was older than what he actually looked.


    ¡°Big Brother Zhao Feng, are you sure your eye is fine?¡±


    Zhao Yufei was used to calling Zhao Feng this way, although she way slightly older than the latter.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and he took off the metallic eyepatch, revealing a pure azure eye.


    When Zhao Yufei saw this eye, her heart shook and the bloodline power in her seemed to sense something.


    Peng Peng Peng¡­


    Zhao Feng felt the blood in his left eye¡¯s blood vessels speed up.


    He soon put the eyepatch back on.


    ¡°So Brother Zhao Feng also has bloodline power, like Brother Ao.¡±


    Zhao Yufei seemed be very jealous. In the past, Zhao Feng only had normal talent, but he could increase in cultivation so fast which made her curious. But now, the answer had been revealed.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t someone normal - he had a rare bloodline.


    And from the looks of it, it seemed that Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power was very strong.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be envious about. Your body also seems to contain a unique bloodline aura, this is my instinct.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    ¡°Really?¡± Zhao Yufei exclaimed.


    In reality, she also had a weird feeling about the changes in her body.


    The two talked for a while before returning.


    In the night.


    Sending Zhao Feng away with her eyes, disappointment appeared on Zhao Yufei¡¯s beautiful face: ¡°What am I to him?¡±


    On the morning of the second day.


    The members from the Broken Moon Clan climbed back onto the Giant Golden Cang Eagle for the journey back.


    ¡°There¡¯s still five months left for the Thirteen Clans Alliance Banquet. You all need to get ready.¡± First Elder¡¯s voice sounded.


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged and he started to cultivate on the journey back. Bei Moi and Yang Gan seemed to be affected and they used all their time for comprehension and enlightenment.


    The Three Clan Party this time had made the other two Clans look at the Broken Moon Clan in a new light. But Yang Gan and the other two had been stimulated by the Three Clan Party.


    The pressure Ao Yuetian brought upon them was immense. Yang Gan was unable to accept the fact that he could only reach the top twenty in the Alliance Banquet.


    As for Bei Moi, he was angry at Ao Yuetian. No one had ever been too disdainful to battle him. Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t stimulated by it, but he tried to figure out which direction he should go towards.


    ¡°My biggest weakness is that my cultivation level is too low.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    Although he was the youngest in the Three Clan Party this time and he performed extremely well, he was restricted by his cultivation.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng was clear which direction he needed to head in.


    One, cultivation. This was the foundation of everything and what restricted him.


    Two, the Lightning Inheritance. This was the core of his skills and it had large room for expansion.


    Three, mental energy skills.


    Zhao Feng had confidence in the third point - his talent in mental energy was just too high.


    It was certain that this was the forte of his left eye. Zhao Feng already had a thought to merge mental energy skills with the ability of his left eye.


    One of the Four Stars, Lin Tong, who had trained the Heavenly Absent Eye, had the ability to beat the opponent with just one glance. This was a mental energy eye skill and it enlightened Zhao Feng.


    Returning back to the Clan, Zhao Feng immediately entered secluded cultivation. Facing the true stage of the world, he didn¡¯t dare to go easy.


    In reality, he was not the only one training hard, everyone else participating in the Alliance Banquet was as well.


    Five months time was not long nor short.


    For those at the Ascended Realm, every step forward in cultivation became harder.


    Those like Ao Yuetian and Yang Gan, who had reached the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm, would find it hard to increase even a tiny bit in cultivation.


    Compared to them, Zhao Feng, who was only at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm, had more room for improvement.


    After returning to the Clan for a month, Zhao Feng had successfully reached the peak 4th Sky.


    After the Floating Crest Trial, Zhao Feng had a large amount of resources and being a Core disciple, the Clan also gave him many things. Especially in this period of time, the Clan gave them much more help.


    Zhao Feng could cultivate in the Thousand Leaf Pond continuously.


    The Thousand Leaf Pond was enveloped by an Energy Gathering Array and the pond itself had sucked in countless energy. The efficiency of cultivating in the Thousand Leaf Pond was high.


    In the blink of an eye, there was only one month left till the Thirteen Clan Alliance Banquet and Zhao Feng had reached the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm a month ago. But after reaching the 5th Sky, his progressment in cultivation had reached a bottleneck.


    In this time, Zhao Feng had comprehended 30-40% of the first level of the Lightning Inheritance. This wasn¡¯t the edges of lightning anymore, but in depth. On the other hand, his Lightning Wind Palm had been perfected once more and Zhao Feng had succeeded in reaching the 6th level.


    The 6th level was the highest level. Zhao Feng¡¯s life wasn¡¯t threatened at all when he reached this level and there was no chance of him summoning lightning.


    In terms of mental energy, the Heart Controlling Technique had been fully learnt two months ago and he had flipped through a small amount of books that were useful for mental energy.


    Cultivation, lightning inheritance, and mental energy had all reached a bottleneck.


    This day.


    Zhao Feng exited his secluded meditation.

 216 6th level of the Lightning Wind Palm

    There was still one month till the start of the Alliance Banquet.


    Zhao Feng had exited his secluded cultivation this time because he had reached a bottleneck in every aspect.


    However, the second he exited secluded meditation, he had caught the attention of other disciples and higher ups of the Clan.


    This wasn¡¯t just because Zhao Feng was a participant in the Alliance Banquet, but because of other reasons as well.


    Inside an Elder¡¯s place.


    ¡°Master, Zhao Feng has come out.¡± Quan Chen said respectively.


    ¡°Lightning has been appearing where Zhao Feng has been in secluded meditation in the past two months. There¡¯s a high chance of him trying to reach, if not already reached, the 6th level of the Lightning Wind Palm. You go and immediately tell Bei Moi and Yuan Zhi about this¡­ ¡±


    Hai Yun Master stood with his hands behind his back.


    In the past several months, Zhao Feng had been cultivating hard and he was too low-key, a stark contrast to his previous arrogance. Apparently, the sound of lightning and thunder could be heard from Zhao Feng¡¯s building.


    Many guessed that ¡®Zhao Fengzi(Fengzi meaning insane)¡¯ was trying to reach the highest level of the Lightning Wind Palm. Only a small number of geniuses were able to train the Lightning Wind Palm to the 6th level. Most of the people had given up halfway or would become disabled.


    There was an example of a genius training the Lightning WInd Palm to the highest level, but he was struck dead by lightning.


    A few days ago.


    The lighting above Zhao Feng¡¯s living area had disappeared - had he succeeded?


    If he succeeded, would he be struck dead by lightning?


    This was a very important question, especially for those that were his enemy. The weird thing was that First Elder kept silent the whole time.


    ¡°There must be something going on for First Elder to not stop Zhao Feng.¡±


    Hai Yun Elder wasn¡¯t retarded.


    In reality, Hai Yun Elder and the Clan Master had gone to First Elder one month ago to try and make First Elder stop Zhao Feng.


    After all, Zhao Feng was a Core disciple and the Clan depended on him in the Alliance Banquet. But First Elder had shook his head, telling them that he couldn¡¯t stop it and he had even sent people to protect Zhao Feng.


    Sky Moon Mountain.


    Inside a jade palace.


    ¡°Zhao Feng has come out of seclusion? Tell him to see me instantly.¡± The Broken Moon Clan Master said to Ran Xiaoyuan and Sister Yuan.


    ¡°Master, why do you place so much importance on him?¡± Sister Yuan asked curiously.


    Although Zhao Feng was a Core disciple, he was only a disciple, and he wasn¡¯t even the Clan Master¡¯s disciple.


    ¡°There¡¯s still one month till the Alliance Banquet. The Ancient Shrine disciples are all troublesome and Zhao Feng¡¯s the only disciple who¡¯s proficient in mental energy in the clan¡­ ¡± The Broken Moon Clan Master smiled.


    ¡°No wonder.¡± Sister Yuan understood immediately.


    The Clan Master¡¯s actions were for the benefit for the Clan. If Zhao Feng let the disciples ¡®feel¡¯ what it would be like to be attacked by mental energy beforehand and find ways to block it, they would have a higher chance of victory against those from the Ancient Shrine.


    The reason that the Clan Master immediately called for Zhao Feng was because she was scared that Zhao Feng would enter seclusion again.


    At the same time.


    The palace of First Elder.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er¡¯s finally come out.¡±


    First Elder had worry as well as expectancy on his face.


    Had Zhao Feng succeeded or not? Did he break past the death cycle of the Lightning Wind Palm?


    ¡°Call Zhao Feng immediately.¡± First Elder ordered.


    ¡°Master, the Clan Master has sent people to find Brother Zhao as well.¡± Yang Gan said.


    At this point in time.


    Zhao Feng exiting seclusion had caught the attention of the whole Clan. The younger generation were curious about Zhao Feng¡¯s rise in strength.


    The top two Core disciples, Yang Gan and Bei Moi, didn¡¯t increase much in cultivation and they had reached a bottleneck.


    Bei Moi still had a long way to go to reach the peak of the 5th Sky. Yang Gan was still at the 6th Sky, but a few months wasn¡¯t enough for him to reach the peak of the 6th Sky.


    Under normal circumstances, Yang Gan needed two to three years to reach the 7th Sky at least and it could last up to ten years at the most. Unless he had talent comparable to an Earth Spiritual Body or many resources, it would be almost impossible to reach the next Sky in a few months.


    Every Sky in the Ascended Realm was harder to break through, but the changes they brought upon were greater.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng was only at the 4th Sky, so he had more room for improvement. The second he exited seclusion, people after people came to congratulate him.


    Lin Fan was the first to arrive, then Yun Mengxiang, Xiao Sun, Xu Ren, Liu Yue¡¯er and some other Core disciples.


    ¡°Congratulations Brother Zhao for training the Lightning Wind Palm to the highest level.¡± Quan Chen laughed.


    Hearing this, the others disciples started to flatter Zhao Feng. Most people would congratulate Zhao Feng on breaking through, but mentioning Lighting Wind Palm had other means.


    ¡°A measly Lightning Wind Palm isn¡¯t enough for me. I¡¯m considering to swap it for a higher leveled skill.¡± Zhao Feng thought and said.


    His tone was arrogant, but no one knew what he really thought.


    Did Zhao Feng succeed or not? What did he mean by swapping it for another skill?


    ¡°Why is Zhao Feng going to swap skills? Could it be that he¡¯s succeeded in reaching the 6th level, but because it¡¯s too dangerous to use it, he wants to swap?¡±


    Lights flashed in Quan Chen¡¯s eyes.


    His thought was very logical.


    According to the records, when one trained the Lightning Wind Palm to the highest level, there was a high chance of being struck by lightning.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t dead, but saying he wanted another skill might have hidden meaning.


    Soon.


    Yang Gan, Ran Xiaoyuan, and Sister Yuan all arrived.


    The Clan Master and the Elders all had something to discuss with Zhao Feng and therefore, they decided to meet him in the Central Hall.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded and he went with the Core disciples to the Central Hall.


    Central Hall.


    The Clan Master, First Elder and Hai Yun Master were all present.


    The Broken Moon Clan Master had a smile on her face. First Elder was expressionless, but there was expectancy in his eyes. Hai Yun Master¡¯s eyes twinkled as he stared at Zhao Feng.


    The three soon said what they wanted to say.


    There were two points.


    One was obviously the Lightning Wind Palm. The second was that the Clan needed Zhao Feng to perform mental energy attacks on several core disciples.


    As for the second point, Zhao Feng agreed immediately.


    ¡°How many people are participating at the Alliance Banquet this time?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Ten.¡± The Clan Master answered.


    Zhao Feng thought that the number was larger than expected.


    First Elder explained: ¡°According to the rules, there¡¯s three reserved spots. As for the other spots, every Clan must pay a large sum of primal crystal stone. After all, the Alliance Banquet gives out rewards and this comes from the Thirteen Clans combined.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood immediately.


    The Alliance Banquet was a stage for the elites of the Clans and it was a chance for them to improve themselves.


    Therefore, even if every spot cost a lot, the Thirteen Clans would still pay for it.


    To allow the ten Core disciples to participate, the Broken Moon Clan had payed a huge sum. But the Clans ranked higher had more spots because they had the money and power to let more disciples participate.


    The Broken Moon Clan Master smiled and said: ¡°Those from the Ancient Shrine are all elites and almost all of their disciples can reach the top twenty. Therefore, our disciples would definitely face them if we wanted to reach the top twenty.¡±


    She also had further requirements that when Zhao Feng used his mental energy attacks, he couldn¡¯t harm these Core disciples or damage them. Everyone knew that Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy attacks were strong and even those at the 5th Sky weren¡¯t able to block it.


    ¡°No problem. It depends on each individual¡¯s will, which can give ten to one hundred percent more resistance.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in agreement.


    This was the time to help the Clan and the Clan would definitely give him rewards, including contribution points and primal crystal stones in return.


    The higher Zhao Feng¡¯s status was in the Clan, the more protection he would received and Lord Guanjun as well as the Zhao family would receive higher treatment.


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s expression was slightly ugly, but it was soon replaced by a bright smile.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how¡¯s your Lightning Wind Palm going? Apparently, when one reaches the highest level, anyone under the True Spirit Realm would be killed and those at the True Spirit Realm would even need to be wary.¡± Hai Yun Master finally asked what mattered to him most.


    Everyone¡¯s heart jumped when they heard that the anyone under the True Spirit Realm would be killed: ¡°This Lightning Wind Palm is way too terrifying.¡±


    THe Core disciples looked warily towards Zhao Fengzi (Insane Zhao).


    Zhao Fengzi was the title given to Zhao Feng by the members of the Broken Moon Clan. This was because his name originally had ¡®Feng¡¯ in it and he had trained the Lightning Wind Palm. Almost no one dared offend him in the Clan.


    ¡°Could he have actually trained the Lightning Wind Palm to the highest level?¡±


    Everyone¡¯s heart jumped. Even the Clan Master and Elders were curious.


    ¡°This Disciples has indeed trained it to the highest level.¡± Zhao Feng answered.


    Hearing this, everyone within the hall was shocked.


    Quan Chen, Bei Moi and co. acted as if they had been hit.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, are you in constant danger?¡± First Elder asked.


    Zhao Feng explained: ¡°Through my perfection, the danger of the skill has been lowered, but it¡¯s power is only comparable to the peak level of a High tier Mortal skill.¡±


    When a High tier Mortal Skill was trained to the peak level, the power was terrifying, especially when it had to do with Lightning.


    ¡°Then, is there the possibility of summoning the 9 Clouds Lightning?¡±


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s eyes closely watched him. According to Zhao Feng, although the Lightning Wind Palm was terrifying, it wasn¡¯t a monster yet.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Feng answered.


    It¡¯s true. Everyone took in a cold breath. Even the Clan Master and the Elders were moved.


    ¡°Of course, any power that exceeds one¡¯s limits has restrictions and a heavy price.¡± Zhao Feng continued.


    Restrictions and heavy price?


    Hai Yun Elder said ¡®As I thought¡¯ in his heart as he heard this.


    ¡°To summon the lightning, it must be in a cloudy or stormy day. There¡¯s a fifty percent chance of summoning the lightning in a cloudy day and a hundred percent chance in a stormy day. This is the requirements.¡±


    Pausing a bit, Zhao Feng continued: ¡°Once I summon the lightning and summon power that tens of times stronger than me, any existence under the True Spirit Realm would be killed and those at the True Spirit Realm could be severely injured. Of course, as the price, there¡¯s a 50% chance of me dying. The more powerful the lightning is means the chances of me dying are higher.¡±

 217 Hard Question

    Hearing Zhao Feng¡¯s explanation, everyone in the hall took in a cold breath.


    It was true that the 6th level of the Lightning Wind Palm could summon the 9 Clouds Lightning.


    This killing move was terrifying and any existence under the True Spirit Realm would be instantly slaughtered. Even those at the True Spirit Realm would have to be wary or else they could be seriously injured.


    At this point in time, all the Core disciples and even Hai Yun Master were wary of Zhao Feng. When Quan Chen and co. were scanned over Zhao Feng, they felt extremely nervous.


    Although Zhao Feng would pay a hefty price to summon the lightning and had a 50% chance of being killed, who would dare underestimate that insane bastard?


    ¡°Cough cough, our talks regards the Lightning Wind Palm end here. After all, this will reveal Feng¡¯er¡¯s secrets.¡± First Elder¡¯s voice dissipated the tension in the hall.


    Only First Elder knew that Zhao Feng was tricking them.


    Through Zhao Feng¡¯s improvements, the 6th level couldn¡¯t summon the 9 Clouds Lightning. But even though it couldn¡¯t summon the lightning, in every other aspect, it was much stronger and the danger it posed was very low.


    Being the perfecter of this skill, how could Zhao Feng risk his life on probability and luck? Originally, even if one didn¡¯t summon the 9 Clouds Lightning, the lightning might still come down on a raining day or storm.


    Now, through trial and error and the merging of the Lightning Inheritance, the Lightning Wind Palm had become complete.


    Zhao Feng had used everyone¡¯s curiosity and the original Lightning Wind Palm to scare everyone.


    Even Hai Yun Master believed most of it.


    Quan Chen believed it without a doubt and he finally understood what Zhao Feng meant by finding a better skill.


    Zhao Feng had become a forbidden existence. It was as if he had a time bomb on him.


    Who would dare to offend this insane bastard?


    Even Hai Yun Master would be wary if he tries to kill Zhao Feng in secret.


    Although it seemed Zhao Feng¡¯s actions were high-key, all he had done was open a temporary umbrella, which gave him more time to mature.


    In the next few days.


    Zhao Feng started to use his mental energy skills against the Core disciples like discussed with the Clan Master. The reason Zhao Feng agreed wasn¡¯t only because of the rewards that the Clan offered.


    The other reason was that he lacked battle experience with mental energy.


    Now these Core disciples were willing to be ¡®live targets¡¯, Zhao Feng obviously didn¡¯t reject them.


    He first started with Yang Gan. According to the deal made with the Clan, the top five were placed first.


    Yang Gan¡¯s will, experience and state of heart were all extremely high leveled.


    These people had strong resistance against mental energy sound attacks and the latter¡¯s cultivation was higher than Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng was very willing to help Yang Gan.


    Firstly, the two had the same Master and they weren¡¯t enemies. Secondly, he was very strong and so Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to be careful. If it was someone with weak will, Zhao Feng could severely injure them accidentally.


    Ta!


    Zhao Feng lightly exclaimed and he first used his mental energy sound attack. This attack would cause damage to the organs through the vibrations of sound and this was the attack that Zhao Feng was most familiar with.


    Facing the mental energy sound attack, Yang Gan¡¯s mighty figure trembled slightly. The fact that he was on guard allowed him to block the attack.


    ¡°Brother Yang, be careful. I only used 50% of my power just then.¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    60%... 70%... 80%...


    When Zhao Feng used 80-90% of his power, Yang Gan felt his state of heart and blood gently tremble.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, that mental energy sound attack of yours could harm me if it was a sneak attack.¡± Yang Gan had a solemn expression.


    Its was Yang Gan. If it was someone apart from him or Bei Moi, they would probably be killed instantly by one sound attack.


    What was more terrifying was that Zhao Feng¡¯s move was an area attack. It was because it was an area attack that Zhao Feng had swept through the second stage of the Floating Crest Trial.


    What Yang Gan didn¡¯t know that although Zhao Feng had used almost all of his power in the mental energy sound attack, he had only merged 20-30% of the insights that he had gained from the Lightning Inheritance into it.


    This also meant that if Zhao Feng fully merged the insights that he had gained from the Lightning Inheritance into the mental energy sound attack, the power could increase by at least 50%. Under that situation, Yang Gan could be injured even if he was on guard.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s first mental energy attack was his forte - mental energy sound attack.


    Facing the attack several times, Yang Gan¡¯s resistance rose.


    The second round - erosion.


    No one was a flawless person. Everyone had a flaw in their hearts. If someone had no flaws, then they would be a Saint but Saints only existed in legends.


    Erosion meant trying to erode the flaws in the opponent¡¯s heart. Those that were hit by this skill might lose their rationality and if it was serious, their mental energy might crumble.


    Zhao Feng tried to erode Yang Gan¡¯s heart, but the effect wasn¡¯t obvious. But there was one time that Zhao Feng succeeded in breaking through Yang Gan¡¯s defense.


    The latter¡¯s fists were clenched and he managed to squeeze out through clenched teeth: ¡°No one can take the title of Head disciple from me. Bei Moi, Zhao Feng, you¡¯re still far away¡­ How is this possible!?¡±


    Of course, Yang Gan recovered his consciousness in half a breaths time, but half a breaths time was enough to decide a battle.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, I just¡­ ¡±


    Cold sweat appeared on Yang Gan¡¯s forehead.


    Zhao Feng laughed and said: ¡°It¡¯s fine, no one is perfect. Everyone has their own flaws.¡±


    Yang Gan didn¡¯t question him any further. Facing Zhao Feng, who was trying to erode his heart, Yang Gan¡¯s resistance against it became stronger as well.


    The third round of mental energy attack - mental energy illusions.


    The path of illusions was extremely deep and it could be used in multiple aspects, such as movement skills or illusion arrays.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental illusion was the combination of the Illusion Fish Picture and the Heart Controlling Technique.


    ¡°Brother Yang¡­ I¡¯m starting¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s voice seemed to contain bait and lure and his eyes shone weirdly.


    The second that Yang Gan¡¯s gaze met Zhao Feng¡¯s eye, his expression struggled for a second before returning back to normal.


    ¡°Illusion attacks are so strong.¡±


    Yang Gan was slightly surprised. The power from Zhao Feng¡¯s mental illusions contained the insights gained from the Illusion Fish Picture.


    The Illusion Fish Picture was very profound and old man Zhang had once said that if he had fully comprehended the Illusion Fish Picture, he would not have the right to even be his teacher.


    Now, Zhao Feng had learnt almost all of it and his mental illusions were very powerful.


    ¡°Hehe, I only used 30-40% power just then.¡± Zhao Feng laughed lightly as he used another mental illusion.


    Mental illusions were split into two types. The first was mental illusion attacks and the hooded figure, which Zhao Feng had met that night, was of this type. The second type was mental illusion confusion.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s forte was the second type and combining with the Illusion Fish Picture, he could make the opponent fall into a temporary illusion.


    When Zhao Feng used 60-70% of his power, Yang Gan was already dazed and every daze would last half a breath to two breaths at max.


    Two days later.


    Yang Gan¡¯s training with Zhao Feng had come to an end.


    Everyone only saw Yang Gan walk out soullessly.


    Next.


    Bei Moi, Ran Xiaoyuan, Yuan Zhi and co. became Zhao Feng¡¯s live test subjects.


    To Zhao Feng¡¯s surprise, he realised that Bei Moi¡¯s resistance towards mental energy was even slightly stronger than Yang Gan¡¯s and this was due to the Dark Water Inheritance. Bei Moi was not only strong in physical defense, his Dark Water Inheritance also improved his mental energy defense.


    Through two days training, Bei Moi also left, defeated and tired.


    The third person was Ran Xiaoyuan.


    Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s performance was average.


    When he used the erosion attack, Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s performance shocked Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I like Brother Zhao¡­ Sister, don¡¯t tell anyone.¡± Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s face was blood red as she said urgently.


    The entire process lasted several breaths.


    Zhao Feng acted like nothing had happened, but he gave pointers to Ran Xiaoyuan on what to do.


    Ten days later.


    The nine core disciples walked out of Zhao Feng¡¯s place.


    Yang Gan, Bei Moi and Ran Xiaoyuan had greater importance placed upon them. As for the others, they finished in a day and a half. Of course, those that had great relationships with Zhao Feng, such as Lin Fan, were specially taken care of.


    From this moment onwards.


    Zhao Feng controlled the flaws of the hearts of every Core disciple and he knew their other faces.


    From then on.


    Zhao Feng had become an existence that everyone felt was forbidden to be challenged. The Core disciples would feel uneasy when someone mentioned Zhao Feng.


    After the training, Zhao Feng received the Clan¡¯s reward which contained one thousand low grade primal crystal stones, contribution points, spiritual pills, weapons, and other resources.


    Zhao Feng was very satisfied.


    In the past ten days, he had become more smooth in using his mental energy and his strength had increased.


    For the next period.


    The Core disciples were mainly in seclusion, trying to break through their bottlenecks.


    However, there were only only twenty or so days left and it was obviously that they were not going to break through in this short amount of time, especially for the Core disciples at the 5th Sky or higher.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng faced the same problem. He had reached a limit in every aspect. It was extremely hard to break through in anything.


    ¡°There¡¯s still a distance for me to beat everyone with my 5th Sky cultivation. Especially when the Four Stars are stronger than one another¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    What should he use the rest of the time to for?


    He can exclude entering secluded meditation. Continuous seclusion made the effect worsen. Then, there was only one way left to increase his strength.

 218 Mysterious Area

    The answer was simple¡­ battle.


    Over the past few months, Zhao Feng had been in seclusion and every aspect he was training had reached a bottleneck. Only through true battle would his potential be squeezed out.


    This was also why everyone¡¯s strength increased so rapidly in the Floating Crest Trial.


    Of course, there was only twenty days left and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t guarantee that battle would give him breakthroughs.


    But one point was certain - if he remained in seclusion, there was almost 0% chance of his strength increasing rapidly. Therefore, Zhao Feng chose to go out and battle.


    It wasn¡¯t just Zhao Feng who thought about this. Bei Moi and Lin Fan had already left the Clan to go out and fight. Zhao Feng went to take a mission from the Clan.


    The aim was to slay four Two Headed Silver Crowned Birds. The difficulty of this mission was ranked between six and seven stars. Normally, three cultivators at the 6th Sky would be needed to have a high chance of succeeding.


    The Two Headed Silver Crowned Bird was a flying creature that had two heads and it could beat normal cultivators at the 6th Sky. The Clan would definitely not allow normal disciples, who wanted to accept it, to go.


    But considering that it was Zhao Feng, Vice Head Li agreed. From his point of view, even if Zhao Feng was unable to complete the mission, he still had the ability to retreat without being harmed. Furthermore, Zhao Feng was a legendary archer and he was suitable for the task.


    ¡°Oh yeah, the mission that you set before has almost been completed and the primal crystal stones have been almost used up.¡± Vice Head Li reminded.


    So fast?


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised because he had given hundreds of thousands of substandard primal crystal stones for this mission.


    After receiving the materials, ninety percent of the primal crystal stones inside Zhao Feng¡¯s interspatial bracelet had disappeared.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped out to show its dissatisfaction.


    Zhao Feng had an agreement with the little thieving cat that he would give it 200 substandard primal crystal stones as ¡®cat food¡¯.


    The little thieving cat wouldn¡¯t touch the items in the interspatial bracelet in return. But with ninety percent of the primal crystal stones gone, the little cat couldn¡¯t take it.


    Under normal circumstances, Zhao Feng shouldn¡¯t be so low on money since he had gained a lot from the trial, but he had spent a large portion on gathering resources for the Yin Shadow Cloak.


    Many resources were worth a city and they were worth more than Mortal weapons. Furthermore, because it was a ¡®searching¡¯ mission, the rewards were greater.


    Apart from that, Zhao Feng had given Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan a lot of resources.


    Now, Zhao Feng only had a thousand primal crystal stones, which were worth a hundred thousand substandard primal crystal stones, left.


    ¡°To gain, one must lose.¡±


    Zhao Feng took care of the resources and he didn¡¯t regret this decision. The Yin Shadow Cloak was an Inheritance item which could grow with the owner. If it could be fixed, its power would rise to another level.


    Let¡¯s go!


    After Zhao Feng took the mission, he left the Clan immediately and headed to the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest.


    His main focus was battle and not the mission. Even if he couldn¡¯t complete the mission, all he had to pay in compensation was a few contribution points, which were nothing to him.


    ¡°Which direction should we head in?¡± Zhao Feng squinted his eyes.


    The Sky Cloud Forest spanned across thirteen countries and there were areas that even those at the True Spirit Realm didn¡¯t dare to enter.


    ¡°Miao miao!¡±


    The little thieving cat appeared and it spat out an ancient coin.


    The ancient coin flipped midair before landing on the little thieving cat¡¯s paws.


    The latter reached out and it pointed its paw in a certain direction.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Zhao Feng headed in the direction that the cat pointed at.


    On the way, a screeching sound from an eagle could be heard, causing the nearby deadly beasts to cower in fear.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng looked up and he saw a Golden Feathered Eagle flying through the air and it radiated an aura that was at the 4th Sky. It was a flying Yao Beast that was be suitable to carry him.


    ¡°Come down.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was very alluring and it was carried through mental energy.


    The Golden Feathered Eagle, which had a wingspan of four to five feet, landed gently on the ground and it acted very obedient.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and he sat on the eagle¡¯s back.


    His comprehension in the Heart Controlling Technique wasn¡¯t any weaker than the hooded figure¡¯s now and controlling a bird was simple.


    The Golden Feathered Eagle carried the human and cat towards the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest.


    An hour later.


    A small creek in a canyon appeared.


    ¡°Hmm, here?¡±


    Zhao Feng was certain that this was the blood python canyon that he had been to before.


    It was here that Ran Xiaoyuan and a few disciples had slain the Azure Hyena, which allowed Zhao Feng to escape.


    Arriving here again, another high tier deadly beast had occupied the blood python canyon and it was even stronger than the Azure Hyena.


    But the Golden Feathered Eagle that Zhao Feng rode upon was a Yao beast and a ¡®Lord tier¡¯ beast in the eyes of mortals, which caused the high tier deadly beast to tremble in fear.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh, a year ago he couldn¡¯t even protect his own life and now, high tier deadly beasts were like ants in his eyes.


    Ignoring the high tier deadly beast, Zhao Feng made the Golden Feathered Eagle slow down a bit and according to the little thieving cat¡¯s directions, the destination was clear.


    A while later, the forest ahead suddenly became dark and there was a queer aura in the air.


    In the dark forest, the occasional beast would jump out.


    Zhao Feng looked down from above and he sent out a mental energy sound attack that slew the weaker beasts, even if they had strong defense.


    The deeper Zhao Feng went in the forest, the stronger the resistance and he could feel uneasy auras from afar.


    It was certain that the depths of the dark forest definitely had Yao Beasts at the 7th Sky or higher because only that level would threaten Zhao Feng.


    Miao miao!


    The cat took the ancient coin out once again and confirmed the direction.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head, he released the eagle and then took the Yin Shadow out to cover his aura.


    Under the cover of his Yin Shadow Cloak, the stronger beasts weren¡¯t able to sense Zhao Feng¡¯s existence. The auras from the depths of the forest became stronger and stronger and they were almost all at the 5th Sky or higher.


    Zhao Feng was suspicious whether or not this was the headquarters of the Yao beasts or not.


    On the way, Zhao Feng had entered the territories of several Yao beasts at the 7th Sky. Although he had the Yin Shadow Cloak, the beasts still looked around warily, as if they sensed something.


    Zhao Feng was sure that he had the ability to fight against beasts of the 7th Sky, there were limitless powerful Yao Beasts here and once they surrounded those below the True Spirit Realm, they would kill them.


    Zhao Feng finally passed through the most dangerous area after several long hours.


    On the way, he had passed by at least twenty Yao beasts at the 7th Sky and there were even those at the half step True Spirit Realm. Their terrifying auras restricted Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing.


    Those at the half true spirit realm surpassed normal beasts at the 7th Sky.


    The dark forest became misty at this time, as if there was a gap between the two areas.


    Zhao Feng entered the misty dark forest area and he instantly lost his direction and his senses became muddled.


    No wonder there wasn¡¯t any signs of life here.


    The ground below Zhao Feng¡¯s feet contained bones and the eery air caused his heart to turn cold.


    ¡°Normal cultivators would definitely die here, even if they were at the half step True Spirit Realm.¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    Luckily, he had his left eye, which could see through the misty air. Furthermore, his forte was mental illusions and the illusion here had almost no effect on him.


    Crack¡­ crack¡­


    Zhao Feng walked over the bare bones and the death air around him would make cultivators at the 7th Sky unable to breathe.


    A coldness and danger enveloped Zhao Feng. It was like a mysterious energy was trying to enter his body.


    The little thieving cat on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder looked around warily.


    Zhao Feng removed his eyepatch and an azure light flashed in his left eye flashed azure, which made the danger feeling instantly fade by over half.


    Enhancing his left eye to the maximum, Zhao Feng could finally see the situation clearly.


    In the depths of the misty dark forest was a hundred or so tombs and every tomb was the size of a small palace, reaching a height of ten metres.


    The tombs formed a circle and the ground in the middle was made of a special silver crystal material, which Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye couldn¡¯t even see past.


    In the centre of the silver crystal field, there was a stone altar, which had weird array lines on it. And next to the altar, there was a small room.


    A misty dark forest, ground full of white bones, tomb after tomb, a silver crystal field, a mysterious altar¡­


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and his body started to tremble slightly, but he didn¡¯t know whether it was from excitement or fear.


    Normally, cultivators at the half step True Spirit realm or even the True Spirit Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to walk this far because they would lose their senses in the mysterious mist. But Zhao Feng succeeded with the help of his left eye.


    At this point in time.


    There was a hundred or so feet between Zhao Feng and the tombs and every step he made would make him feel more uneasy.


    The white bones in front of him suddenly shook. Two or three human shaped skeletons with glowing green flaming eyes held weapons made of bone as they crawled out of the ground.


    The three human shaped skeletons each put a faint pressure on Zhao Feng, meaning they had strength comparable to at least the 6th Sky.


    Furthermore, there might be more in hiding.


    Go forward or go back?


    Before Zhao Feng could decide anything, the three human shaped skeletons lunged clumsily but quickly towards Zhao Feng.

 219 Miser

    Every one of these three skeletons had strength comparable to the disciples to that could attend the Three Clan Party.


    Facing the attacks of all three of them, even Zhao Feng was pushed back a few steps.


    Shua Shua Shua---


    Three bone sword slashed out towards Zhao Feng which instantly destroyed the latter¡¯s figure.


    Shuuu-


    Lightning flashed in the air and a figure appeared several yards away.


    This was a skill that Zhao Feng had created. The ¡°Illusion Lightning Arc Step¡± used the Illusion Fish Picture as the foundation while merging the Lightning Inheritance into it.


    Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t dared use this skill in the Three CLan Party because he hadn¡¯t practised it enough but several months later, his Illusion FIsh Lightning Arc Step had been perfected.


    Three skeletons comparable to the 6th Sky couldn¡¯t even touch Zhao Feng¡¯s clothes.


    Lightning Wind Palm!


    Arcs of lightning condensed on Zhao Feng¡¯s palm and caused the sound of thunder to appear.


    Boom- Crack!


    The three human like skeletons were instantly pushed back.


    The skeleton at the front instantly turned into black dust while the other two were dismembered.


    So strong!


    Zhao Feng looked at his palm with joy.


    The 6th level of the Lightning Wind Palm was indeed terrifying - it could almost instantly kill three skeletons comparable to the 6th Sky!


    In this mysterious zone, Zhao Feng had no need to conceal his Lightning Inheritance.


    The other two skeletons had all been disfigured and Zhao Feng waved his hand, throwing to arcs of lightning towards them.


    Crack Crack!


    The two human like skeletons broke into pieces.


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. Although the three skeletons seemed strong, it seemed to be perfectly countered by his Lightning Wind Palm.


    To kill three beings comparable to the 6th Sky was a bit exaggerated.


    Looking it from another perspective, could Zhao Feng kill three Yang Gan¡¯s in one palm? Obviously, under normal situations, it was very unlikely.


    After slaying the three skeletons, Zhao Feng proceeded forwards.


    There was still a hundred yards till the tombs and because Zhao Feng was on guard, he placed close attention to the layers of white bone below.


    Clack clack.


    The white bones on the ground started to move again and humans skeletons started to rise.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Before they could fully appear, Zhao Feng used his Lightning Wind Palm and slew them one after another.


    His movement skill was the ¡°Illusion Fish Lightning Arc Step¡± which caused arcs of lightning to flash in the air whenever he moved.


    Even if three or four human skeletons appeared at once, Zhao Feng killed them before they rose.


    It seemed like he was playing hit the mole, whenever one popped out he would hit it.


    Zhao Feng made it seem easy but if it was another cultivator at the 5th Sky, they would find it troublesome.


    Afterall, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was extremely fast and the power of the Lightning Wind Palm was devastating. One palm could instantly kill a skeleton.


    Bit by bit, he was slowly progressing towards the tomb.


    One hundred yards¡­. Ninety yards¡­. Eighty yards¡­.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure inched closer and closer as he closely surveyed the nearby surroundings.


    The strength of the skeletons now rising were mainly at the 5th or 6th Sky but at times, tens of them would appear at the same time but luckily Zhao Feng¡¯s Illusion Fish Lightning Arc Step was extremely fast and the skeletons weren¡¯t able to even touch his clothes.


    After entering the 50 yards radius, Zhao Feng met a human skeleton that was comparable to the 7th Sky.


    This human skeleton was two to three yards tall and held a thick spear made of bone. When it waved the spear, a radius of tens of yards was enveloped in black winds.


    Zhao Feng felt troubled at this point in time. If he was hit straight on, he would be seriously injured if not dead.


    Furthermore, the defense of the human skeleton at the 7th Sky rose another level.


    Qiu Qiu!


    Zhao Feng pushed his Illusion Fish Lightning Arc Step to the maximum and first slew the weaker skeletons nearby before using his Lightning Wind Palm to battle the last skeleton.


    Lightning Wind Raging Dragon!


    Zhao Feng caused lightning and wind mix and sent a roaring dragon of lightning towards the skeleton that was at the 7th Sky.


    The bones of the skeleton turned black and cracked at several places before falling down.


    Zhao Feng puffed a little before continuing.


    A skeleton at the 7th Sky and many weaker skeletons would rise every several yards and Zhao Feng¡¯s footsteps forward were stopped.


    Zhao Feng glanced at the tombs and didn¡¯t dare carelessly fly over. Only by going on ground bit was bit was it safe.


    Seeing the sky darken, Zhao Feng was slightly agitated but thinking about it, his aim was to earn battle experience anyways.


    The mysterious area in front of him might contain great fortune - especially within the tombs, there might be treasures inside.


    But Zhao Feng understood, no matter how rushed he felt, there was nothing he could do.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do it slowly.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s state of heart slowly calmed down as he sat on the ground and ate a few Spiritual pills.


    When his energy reached it¡¯s peak again, he continued.


    In the last thirty yards, the skeletons were predominantly at the 7th Sky.


    Zhao Feng slowly crept forwards, and slowly grinded the path.


    The Illusion FIsh Lightning Arc became more fluent and he seemed to have progressed in how to use the Lightning Inheritance.


    At the beginning Zhao Feng could barely fight with one or two skeletons at the 7th Sky. It had now increased to three or four.


    Facing four skeletons at the 7th Sky was unimaginable.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s lightning inheritance as well as movement had both improved and the power and smoothness of the Lightning WInd Palm had also increased.


    ¡°Indeed, only through true battle does one improve.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    Three days later.


    Zhao Feng closed in on the last ten yards of the tomb.


    At this time an even more terrifying skeleton crawled out. It¡¯s bones had a sizzle of silver to it and the aura it released was comparable to the Half-step True Spirit Realm.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he decided to attack first. He ferociously thrust out his Lightning Wind Palm which contained devastating power.


    But the flashing silver skeleton succeeded in rising even after taking a barrage of attacks straight on.


    Boom-----


    A terrifying force sent Zhao Feng flying and caused the latter to spit out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°After reaching the half-step True Spirit Realm, it¡¯s offense and defense have both increased.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and activated his bloodline power.


    Shuuuuu---


    The Yin Shadow Cloak flapped and Zhao Feng became an azure trail that gave the occasional flicker of lightning.


    The flashing silver skeleton was like a miniature tornado that pressured over.


    One had to know with the help of the Illusion Fish Lightning Arc Step and Yin Shadow Cloak, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was comparable to the 7th Sky.


    However, even under this situation, he wasn¡¯t able to throw off the flashing silver skeleton.


    When an existence reached the Half-step True Spirit Realm, their attributes would increase greatly, even if it was only the half-step True Spirit Realm.


    Although the flashing silver skeleton¡¯s forte wasn¡¯t speed, it was still slightly faster than normal cultivators at the 7th Sky.


    Only after flying out a hundred yards did the flashing silver skeleton stop before returning back the way it came.


    Zhao Feng let out a breath - it seemed like this skeleton couldn¡¯t leave their territory easily.


    After resting a few hours, Zhao Feng¡¯s injuries had all healed and his energy reached it¡¯s peak.


    He returned back to challenge the flashing silver skeleton.


    A moment later.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and returned.


    Another failure.


    Zhao Feng tried a total of seven or eight times which took up two days time but he still wasn¡¯t the skeleton¡¯s match.


    Of course, his strength had increased over the past two days which allowed him to exchange some moves with the flashing silver skeleton.


    ¡°It¡¯s almost impossible to beat it head on. If this skeleton had the speed of a normal existence at the half-step True Spirit realm and wasn¡¯t restricted by the territory, then I definitely would be dead.¡±


    Zhao Feng gave up on fighting head on.


    He soon thought of an idea and took out the Luohou Bow with a weird smile.


    He took a deep breath and sent his bloodline power and true force within the Luohou Bow.


    Beng -- Sou- Sou-


    Three Luohou Arrows flashing coldly pierced into the vital point of the skeleton¡¯s bones.


    After being hit, the skeleton chased over but due to the coldness contained within the arrows, it¡¯s speed was restricted.


    Zhao Feng who was standing at the fifty yards mark instantly ran out of the hundred yard territory.


    Qiu-- Qiu-- Qiu--


    The three Luohou Arrows returned automatically as the flashing silver skeleton returned back the way it came from.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Zhao Feng pulled back the Luohou Bow and sent another round of attacks towards the skeleton¡¯s back when the latter¡¯s speed was decreased.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng had shot out tens of arrows already.


    Four hours later.


    The flashing silver skeleton fell to the ground. Afterall, ZHao Feng had merged his bloodline power into the Luohou Bow and any one of his arrows could threaten those at the 7th Sky.


    For the next two to three days.


    Zhao Feng cleared the last ten yards of the area, which included several flashing silver skeletons and some skeletons at the 7th Sky.


    Finally.


    Zhao Feng arrived in front of the tomb.


    In front of him was one hundred or so tombs that faced towards the centre as if they were bowing down towards the Emperor.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s black eyes spun.


    Zhao Feng thought that with the little thieving cat¡¯s personality, there was definitely a lot of treasures in the tombs.


    Thinking up to here, he used his left eye to survey to nearby tombs.


    His left eye could see past the walls and see the situation below.


    For example, there was a coffin and several items in the closest tomb.


    However, the corpses in the tombs were all powerful being when alive. Even when they were dead, they radiated powerful aura¡¯s that made mortals unable to breath.


    These corpses were all at least of the True Spirit Realm when alive.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t make any rash moves. The tombs here were weird and sinister.


    It seemed as if they were bowing down and was funerary.


    Anyone would be wary and cautious if they entered here.


    The entire place was dead silent, as if waiting for the day when one witnessed their past glory and fame.


    Zhao Feng could confirmed that there was no ¡°live¡± beings here and no danger. But the skeletons before were definitely not alive - who knew if there was other dangers?


    Just as Zhao Feng was hesitating.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat flipped agilely in mid-air before landing on a stone of a tomb then lept towards the centre.


    The little thieving cat wasn¡¯t attacked at all in the entire process.


    There was no danger?


    Zhao Feng was surprised but seeing the crisp actions of the little thieving cat, he heart skipped a beat: With the cat¡¯s personality, it would take everything if he didn¡¯t follow closely behind.

 220 Curse of a Hundred Graves

    Without any more hesitation, lightning flashed under Zhao Feng¡¯s feet as he sped off into the air. Being in midair, he seemed to sense a cold aura radiate from the tombs below which seemed to start spreading from his feet.


    Suddenly, a bone chilling, dangerous feeling appeared, trying to find its way through to Zhao Feng¡¯s soul. That feeling was similar to the feeling that he had felt when he first stepped into the ground of bones, only ten times stronger.


    Peng Peng Peng Peng¡­


    Inside the depths of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, the azure abyss spun and it released a wisp of ancient aura. Only then did the dangerous feeling fade.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold. That danger felt even more intense than the mysterious skeleton in the Sky Cloud Forest. He suddenly seemed to realise that this area was probably prohibited.


    Several short breaths seemed like a century.


    Zhao Feng finally flew past the tombs and instinct told him that this danger came from the hundred or so tombs below.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat landed on the field at almost the same time as Zhao Feng. The ground was made of a mysterious silver crystal material which even Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye couldn¡¯t even see past.


    It was hard to imagine even with Zhao Feng¡¯s current strength, he wouldn¡¯t be able to destroy anything. But Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye could sense that the energy here seemed to be frozen.


    The little thieving cat leapt agilely onto the centre of the field, where the stone altar was. There were several profound array lines carved onto the stone altar and when he glanced at them, Zhao Feng felt like he was in limitless space.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng circulated his left eye and he copied the carving into his mind. Although he couldn¡¯t do anything with it, the profoundness that it contained was full of value. The little thieving cat jumped onto the stone altar and it seemed to be slightly excited.


    Zhao Feng thought: There¡¯s no treasure anywhere, so why would the little thieving cat act like that?


    The little thieving cat jumped around for a while before revealing a sad look. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with it and he walked into the stone room next to the altar. He carefully scanned the area with his left eye, but he found no signs of danger.


    Ever since passing the tombs, the dangerous feeling had disappeared, which made Zhao Feng almost certain that the silver crystal field was a safe zone.


    Inside the room.


    Everywhere was covered in dust, it looked like the room had been here a very long time.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye quickly scanned the items with value and it soon locked onto three items: A small bottle, a flask of alcohol and a piece of beast skin. In reality, everything that didn¡¯t rot was valuable.


    Shua shua!


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat made their moves at almost the same, but their objectives were different. Zhao Feng first locked onto the three items on the desk and flashed towards them. The little thieving cat¡¯s target was a dead insect.


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. He had also seen the dead insect, and its body hadn¡¯t rotted. But obviously, he wasn¡¯t interested in it. The little thieving cat swallowed the body of the insect whole, like it was scared that Zhao Feng would take it.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you scared that it¡¯s poisonous?¡± Zhao Feng smiled.


    When his left eye had passed the insect¡¯s body, he had seen that the insect was covered in poison. All the little thieving cat did was hiccup.


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised - one had to know that the cat never hiccuped when it ate the primal crystal stones and other items. It looks like the insect the cat just ate wasn¡¯t simple.


    Zhao Feng then turned his eyes back onto his spoils.


    The little bottle was smooth and transparent, it was obviously not made of a simple material. Furthermore, it contained a transparent liquid inside.


    As for the flask of alcohol, it was extremely heavy and it smelled very pleasant, but when Zhao Feng opened it, there was nothing inside. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s instinct told him that the flask wasn¡¯t simple.


    The little thieving cat stared at the bottle and flask with anger and frustration. But obviously, the cat couldn¡¯t take two at once and it wasn¡¯t able to beat its owner.


    On the piece of beast skin was two lines of words that seemed to be written in a very hurried manner. As for the last few words, they were all blurry and unclear. Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but come to conclusions.


    The stone room was originally protected by someone, but an unforeseen situation had arisen, which caused the person to leave and the bottle as well as the flask were items left behind due to the hurriedness.


    But¡­ Zhao Feng didn¡¯t recognise the language on the beast skin. It wasn¡¯t the common language of this continent.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and it revealed a weird expression when its eyes scanned the two lines.


    ¡°You understand them?¡±


    Zhao Feng half believed and he was half suspicious. He felt that the little thieving cat wasn¡¯t a lifeform that had just been born, but it was something that had been filled with knowledge.


    The little thieving cat had a smug look on its face and it waved its paws at Zhao Feng. The latter took out a pen and paper from his interspatial bracelet.


    The little thieving cat used two of its small paws and grasped the pen before ¡®translating¡¯ the words from the beast skin.


    Zhao Feng then looked at the contents: The Three Saints Palace has become unmovable in the Area of Dust. In the past few days, it even lured several One-Star Factions to almost break the ¡®Curse of One hundred Graves¡¯. Now, the energy of the Teleportation Array has been used up¡­ This Subordinate will be leaving first¡­


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed after reading this.


    Where was the Area of Dust? Was it the Thirteen Clans or the Northern Continent?


    One Star Factions was another trail.


    Zhao Feng had heard First Elder mention that forces were ranked from one to five stars with five stars being the strongest. However, five star factions were the strongest forces and they were only heard of in legends. But the forces of this continent didn¡¯t seem to be arranged by stars.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know how the forces were arranged, but First Elder seemed to know. At the end, it wrote ¡®Curse of One Hundred Graves¡¯ and it made Zhao Feng understand the placement of those one hundred tombs.


    No wonder he felt a coldness try to invade his body when he entered the ground of white bones.


    But because of his left eye, the curse wasn¡¯t able to enter his body. Furthermore, according to what was written on the beast skin, the Curse of One hundred graves had almost been broken and its effect now was far weaker than before.


    The little thieving cat could also ignore the Curse of One Hundred Graves - this meant that its body was unique and it was very knowledgeable for it to come straight through.


    Although Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t understand what most of the words on the beast skin meant, he could tell from the word ¡®dust¡¯ that the world he currently knew of was just the tip of an iceberg. Seeing that he couldn¡¯t think through these problems, Zhao Feng decided not to think them through.


    He then placed his attention on the flask of alcohol and bottle.


    The flask was empty, so Zhao Feng threw it into his interspatial ring. Seeing his actions, the eyes of the thieving cat lit up as it also jumped into the interspatial bracelet.


    Zhao Feng then focused on the bottle. There was a thin layer of transparent liquid inside the bottle and Zhao Feng could sense a pure energy from it with his left eye. It was much better than the Spiritual Pills that he ate in the Clan.


    WIthout any hesitation, he drank the liquid, which only took up one-twentieth of the bottle. The transparent liquid went down his throat and into his body.


    Instantly, a surge of pure and clean energy stirred up within his body.


    The amount of transparent liquid was only the size of the thumb, but it contained a large amount of energy and it gave off a strong aura.


    The first feeling that Zhao Feng felt was that he was full and that his energy was replenished.


    Then, the power of the liquid started to work around his bones, blood and skin. Its effect was more than ten times better than the Marrow Cleansing Pill.


    Luckily, the power was very calm or else it could have seriously injured Zhao Feng¡¯s body. The latter felt his entire body getting repeatedly washed and some of his hidden injuries were healed.


    At the same time, he had a feeling that his bones had changed. He immediately sat cross legged and used this power to cultivate.


    The energy from the liquid was very easy to absorb.


    An hour later.


    A layer of black, sticky liquid was excreted from Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Half a day later.


    Zhao Feng had fully absorbed the liquid, which only amounted to the size of a thumb, and he felt power course through him. It was like he had just eaten a full meal and his energy was replenished.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng had reached the peak of the 5th Sky.


    ¡°Just the remaining bit of liquid made me reach the peak of the 5th Sky.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and he suppressed the overflowing joy in his heart. His rating of this area rose once again.


    According to his analysis, this liquid seemed to just be the ¡®food¡¯ for this person and the cleansing of the body was just an extra effect


    That¡¯s right, just an extra effect.


    Zhao Feng first felt ¡®full¡¯ when he drank the liquid, then he felt his body change.


    He lifted his hand and he circulated his true force. He felt felt his power was two times stronger than before.


    Just his body alone was stronger than normal cultivators at the 4th Sky.


    The effect of this mysterious liquid was terrifying, but sadly, there was just a bit, and it was the remains of what someone else drank.


    Zhao Feng decided to consolidate his realm and he found that cultivation was now faster before.


    If he kept this up, it would only be a few days before he would naturally reach the limit of the 5th Sky.


    Zhao Feng sighed - he had only drank a tiny bit of the mysterious liquid, but its effect was shocking and he should be satisfied with it.


    He then placed his attention back into the interspatial bracelet and he was shocked by what he saw.


    Inside the interspatial bracelet, the little thieving cat had become drunk but its aura had become stronger than before.


    ¡°Where did the alcohol come from?¡± Zhao Feng was stunned.


    He knew that there was no alcohol within his interspatial bracelet. Zhao Feng locked his eyes onto the flask.


    The flask was extremely heavy and it still had a few remaining drops of alcohol inside.


    Where did the alcohol come from?


    Zhao Feng was certain that the flask was empty before.


    He humphed coldly and he pulled the little thieving cat out.


    An hour later.


    The little thieving cat gave the truth and it poured some water into the flask.


    Not long after, the water inside the flask started to give off an aromatic smell.

 221 Flying

    Within the stone room.


    A human and a cat sat on the ground, cultivating. Half a day later, the flask brewed another batch of alcohol, which gave off a spiritual smell.


    Although it hadn¡¯t become Spiritual-grade alcohol, through Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, he could still tell that the alcohol could improve the bodies of those that were at the Ascended Realm.


    He also found that the longer the flask brewed the alcohol, the higher the grade of the alcohol would be and it even had the chance of creating true Spiritual alcohol. But this process would need around one month.


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat had made a deal to split 50-50. The little thieving cat¡¯s desire towards the alcohol had almost reached the level of his desire for treasure.


    After that, the human and cat cultivated quietly in the stone room.


    Zhao Feng was consolidating his cultivation while trying to draw out more potential from the mysterious liquid.


    Because the little thieving cat had swallowed the insect corpse whole, it hadn¡¯t fully digested it.


    Two days later.


    The auras radiating from both Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat had increased. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know the exact strength of the cat, but there shouldn¡¯t be much problem for it to take care of the Core disciples in the Clan.


    ¡°There¡¯s only ten days left till the Alliance Banquet and my mission isn¡¯t completed yet.¡±


    Zhao Feng decided to return. The human and cat flew in the air and they left the silver crystal field.


    Zhao Feng surveyed the tombs below, but he didn¡¯t dare to go close. It was a forbidden area containing the ¡®Curse of One Hundred Graves¡¯, whose origin came from these tombs. Although the bodies in the tombs had died, they still radiated a fearsome aura which confirmed that they were all existences at the True Spirit Realm or higher when they were alive.


    The closer one got to the tombs, the stronger the mysterious erosion force would be.


    Returning to the ground of white bones.


    Zhao Feng had to face the attacks of the white skeletons once again.


    Lightning Wind Palm!


    Zhao Feng used all his power and amidst the combination of lightning and wind, the skeletons were scattered into dust.


    At this moment in time, even skeletons at the 7th Sky were easily taken care of by Zhao Feng.


    After exiting the ground of white bones, the area of mist appeared.


    ¡°The tombs should be the core of this place; the ground of white bones is the inner circle and the area of mist is the outer circle.¡± Zhao Feng concluded.


    After entering the area of mist, one¡¯s senses would be disrupted and they would lose their sense of direction. As for whether they were able to escape successfully, it depended on luck.


    Once someone entered the ground of white bones, they would be affected by the power of the curse.


    Shua!


    The Yin Shadow Cloak flapped and Zhao Feng turned into an azure streak that gave the occasional sizzle of lightning that sped towards the boundaries of the area of mist.


    Suddenly.


    Zhao Feng seemed to sense something and he immediately hid behind a big tree.


    An instant later, two powerful auras entered the area of mist. One of them was a grey-robed old man, while the other was an old woman.


    The two had the air of True Spirit surrounding them, which could even counter a bit of the mysterious power in the area of mist.


    Obviously, these two people were at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°The Forbidden land of One Hundred Graves indeed lives up to it¡¯s name. My spiritual sense can only extend up to one yard here.¡± The grey robed old man sighed.


    ¡°Do you still want to continue? The curse from the Forbidden land of One Hundred Graves isn¡¯t something that those at the True Spirit Realm can counter. In the past, those who had escaped from this place had all been cursed and they went crazy before dying in just a few years time¡­ ¡± The old woman persuaded.


    Zhao Feng, who was hiding behind a tree, felt his heart clench. He didn¡¯t think that the curse from the ¡®Forbidden land of One Hundred Graves¡¯ was this terrifying. Even those at the True Spirit Realm, who had survived exiting this place, had died in the end.


    Could a bit of this curse still be on him?


    Although Zhao Feng had his mysterious left eye, he wasn¡¯t certain.


    Furthermore, from the looks of it, the two in front of him were obviously stronger than the Elders in the Clan.


    ¡°This Old Man only has tens of years of life left and it¡¯s impossible for me to break through to the True Lord Realm and the Origin Core Realm in this Area of Dust. According to the records of the ¡®Ancient Shrine¡¯, if I can leave this place, the chances of success are ten times higher at least.¡±


    The grey robed elder was full of determination.


    Sending the two at the True Spirit Realm away with his eyes, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to use his left eye to lock onto them, even though he knew that one¡¯s senses were restricted in this area.


    It was because of this reason that the two couldn¡¯t sense Zhao Feng, who also had the help of the Yin Shadow Cloak.


    A while later.


    Zhao Feng heard a loud shout - the grey robed elder had entered the ground of bones.


    ¡°Those two should be Elders of the ¡®Ancient Shrine¡±. I¡¯ll wait and see the situation.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t make any rash moves.


    The area of mist was to his advantage - he wasn¡¯t scared of being found here.


    A white later.


    A scream came from the ground of bones.


    Qiu-----


    The noise of flying through the air sounded, then he saw the grey robed elder retreat from the ground of bones.


    The old woman immediately arrived at his side and asked about the situation.


    The grey robed elder was full of fear and he couldn¡¯t stop trembling. With his face being green, he finally managed to speak out: ¡°The curse has enveloped my body and my lifeforce is being drained¡­ ¡±


    Then, the grey robed elder sat cross-legged on the ground and ate some spiritual pills with the woman helping nearby.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was weird - what had infected the grey robed old man? Standing from afar, he used his left eye to inspect the old man.


    However, when Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye scanned the grey robed elder, his heart went cold and he couldn''t help but take a cold breath.


    Through his left eye, he saw invisible white hands stained in blood crawl around the grey robed elder¡¯s body.


    The organs of the grey robed elder were being eroded by the invisible hands. This scene made Zhao Feng¡¯s hairs stand up.


    Even the old woman next to the grey robed elder felt uneasy and she had to maintain a certain distance while circulating her True Force.


    When the old woman came near, the white invisible hands would also attack her.


    Of course, although they couldn¡¯t see the existences of the hands, they could instinctively feel the threat from them.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes was filled with pity - that grey robed elder probably wouldn¡¯t live past half a year.


    ¡°This Forbidden land of One Hundred Graves is indeed... forbidden.¡±


    Zhao Feng was pretty scared, he never expected that the little thieving cat would bring him to such a dangerous place. If he had first known about the situation here, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t dare to go in, even if he had one hundred more guts.


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated his left eye to check the cat¡¯s and his situation, but he found that there was nothing wrong.


    Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    The reason why Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t affected by the curse was because of the mysterious left eye. It was like a token that could dissipate the power of curses. As for the little thieving cat, it¡¯s history was extremely mysterious and it was the one who lead him here in the first place.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, don¡¯t do this next time.¡± Zhao Feng coldly glanced at the little thieving cat with his left eye.


    The little thieving cat gave cold hiccup and it nodded its head multiple times before taking out the ancient coin and playing with it sadly.


    Zhao Feng knew that only the mysterious left eye could control the little thieving cat or else, with the cat¡¯s attitude, why did it even not bother with those at the True Spirit Realm?


    Not long after.


    The grey robed old man and old woman flew away.


    Before they left, Zhoa Feng could hear the old woman say: ¡°This is for not listening to me. In the past thousand years, only Lord Patriarch was able to Forbidden land of One Hundred Graves and return unharmed. But even the Patriarch wasn¡¯t able conquer this place. All we can do know is go to the Iron Dragon Country and find Division Leader. He¡¯s extremely mysterious but profound in mental energy techniques. Maybe there¡¯s a way¡­ ¡±


    A while after the two had left, Zhao Feng¡¯s figure appeared as he squinted his eyes: ¡°Is that Patriarch the Scarlet Moon Patriarch?¡±


    He didn¡¯t stay any longer and he left the way he came through the area of mist.


    Two days later.


    Zhao Feng found the Two headed Silver Crowned Bird in the Sky Cloud Forest. The Two headed Silver Crowned Bird was a lord of the skies whose strength was incomparable amongst those at the 6th Sky.


    But Zhao Feng¡¯s strength now was at least twice of what he had left the clan with. Just with one pull of the Luohou Bow, he was able to slay a Two headed Silver Crowned Bird.


    The mission required four heads and Zhao Feng soon found another one.


    This time Zhao Feng didn¡¯t shoot it down. Instead, he used a mental energy technique to control the Two headed Silver Crowned Bird. If someone from the Ancient Shrine was here, they would''ve been stunned.


    Zhao Feng, who was at the 5th Sky, had controlled a Yao beast which was at the 6th Sky - this was already incredible. Furthermore, the Two headed Silver Crowned Bird had two heads meaning that it was twice as hard to control.


    Zhao Feng sat on the Two headed Silver Crowned Bird and he returned to Sky Moon Mountain.


    ¡°What¡¯s that Yao beast with two heads?¡±


    The disciples on the Sky Moon Clan panicked and they acted like they were facing a powerful enemy. Two headed Silver Crowned Birds were undefeatable existences, even for inner disciples.


    When they saw Zhao Feng on top of the Two headed Silver Crowned Birds, their eyes were filled with respect and even admiration.


    Zhao Feng had completed the mission of killing two Two Headed Silver Crowned Birds. But unexpectedly, several Vice-Heads bid against each other to buy this Two headed Silver Crowned Bird.


    How cool would it be to own a Two headed Silver Crowned Bird? It would be the best ride apart from the Giant Golden Ashen Eagle.


    The important part was that there was Zhao Feng, a ¡®beast trainer¡¯ who could affect the Two headed Silver Crowned Bird¡¯s state of mind, which made it easier to train the bird.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng had sold the Two headed Silver Crowned Bird to Vice-Head Li and not only did he get the mission rewards, he had also earned tens of thousands of substandard Primal Crystal stones.


    Vice-Head Li¡¯s face was red and full of smiles.


    Of course, it wasn¡¯t this easy to earn the Primal Crystal stones. For the next few days, Zhao Feng had to use his mental energy techniques to help Vice-Head Li train the Two headed Silver Crowned Birds.


    On this day.


    Core disciple Bei Moi returned from outside and his cultivation had reached the peak of the 5th Sky.


    But when Bei Moi saw Zhao Feng, his expression changed dramatically into disbelief.


    Because Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was even slightly higher than his, having reached the perfection of the 5th Sky, not far away from the 6th Sky.


    ¡°Looks like my effort and the risk involved was worth it.¡± Zhao Feng thought smugly in his heart.


    This was the first time that he had surpassed Bei Moi.


    At this moment.


    There was only several days left till the Alliance Banquet.


    ¡°There¡¯s still 5-6 days till the Thirteen Clan¡¯s Alliance Banquet, but the place where it¡¯s held is far from the Sky Moon Mountain, so we¡¯ll be leaving in two days time.¡± First Elder called Zhao Feng and Yang Gan out.


    When First Elder¡¯s gaze landed on Zhao Feng, his eyes flashed with joy.


    Yang Gan¡¯s expression changed slightly - he didn¡¯t think that this junior martial brother of his was already half a step into the 6th Sky.


    Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back as his azure hair blew in the wind. A smile had curled up on his lips and an indescribable confidence came from him that made him more mysterious.


    After returning to the Clan, he was full of confidence for the Alliance Banquet. From this moment onwards, there was no power that could stop him from flying.

 222 God’s Spiritual Eye

    ¡°It looks like Feng¡¯er¡¯s met some good fortune when going out this time.¡±


    First Elder said with joy.


    Yang Gan¡¯s heart skipped a beat - the pressure from this junior martial brother of his was too great.


    He originally thought that the biggest competitor within the Clan would be Bei Moi but Zhao Feng had jumped straight over Bei Moi and was closing in onto his position of Head disciple.


    ¡°Indeed, but it was also quite dangerous.¡±


    Zhao Feng was still slightly scared.


    Fortune usually existed with danger - this was something both First Elder and Yang Gan knew.


    There was limitless number of people who had died in the chase for fortune.


    Only those that were able to survive the danger were true geniuses.


    Thinking up to here First Elder placed greater importance towards Zhao Feng.


    The latter¡¯s talent wasn¡¯t high but had received the best Inheritance within the Floating Crest Palace.


    The ten thousand year record of the Floating Crest Palace had been broken by him.


    And now.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had increased dramatically over just a short period of ten days.


    Would a normal genius have such fortune?


    What did this mean?


    ¡°This kid¡¯s fortune is probably even greater than Bei Moi¡¯s.¡±


    When First Elder thought up to here, he couldn¡¯t help but be slightly excited.


    From birth to now, he hadn¡¯t met a genius with such powerful fortune.


    Even Bei Moi wasn¡¯t able to be compared with Zhao Feng.


    Both of them had went out for experience but the increase in Bei Moi¡¯s cultivation was obviously not as much as Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Furthermore, those with great fortune also usually affected the people around them, hence the line ¡°When one human received the Dao, even the chickens would ascend.¡±


    Yang Gan was worried and didn¡¯t know what to do facing his junior martial brother whose strength kept on increasing by leaps and bounds.


    If this continued on his position of Head disciple might be lost.


    First Elder also found his disciples worry and couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart.


    Right at this moment Zhao Feng spoke: ¡°Brother Yang, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not interested in the position of Head disciple.¡±


    After this was said.


    First Elder was surprised and Yang Gan didn¡¯t know what to say or do.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words were too straightforward and somewhat disrespectful.


    But because they had the same Master, it was better to say it this way.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had already found the knot in Yang Gan¡¯s heart when training the latter with mental energy.


    ¡°Hmph, brother Zhao, do you really have confidence in beating me?¡±


    Yang Gan said unhappily.


    But when he said this, he wasn;t very confident.


    Truthfully, he didn¡¯t have confidence winning this mysterious junior martial brother of his.


    When they were training last time, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy technique had worked once and now Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds.


    ¡°With my current strength, I have at least seventy percent chance of beating Ao Yuetian.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words took a twist.


    He didn¡¯t say that he could beat Yang Gan, but used Ao Yuetian as the subject.


    ¡°Beat Ao Yuetian?¡±


    Yang Gan took a cold breath. This was something he didn¡¯t even dare imagine.


    Back at the Three Clan Party, Ao Yuetian¡¯s powerful strength had been imprinted in his heart and he convincingly lost.


    When First Elder heard this, his eyes flashed. The joy from this disciple of his was far out of expectations.


    But First Elder wouldn¡¯t fully believe Zhao Feng¡¯s words. Throughout his lifetime he had seen too many over confident geniuses that lost horribly in the end.


    ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t be arrogant. Half a month ago, Ao Yuetian of the Lin Moon Clan broke through to the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm and their Core disciple Zhao Yufei reached the peak 6th Sky.¡±


    First Elder harrumphed coldly and said this to dash Zhao Feng¡¯s flames.


    7th Sky of the Ascended Realm?


    Yang Gan was shocked. It was hard to believe that someone of the younger generation had already reached the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was normal but he sighed in his heart. He had already calculated that there was a small chance of Ao Yuetian trying to break through to the 7th Sky before the Alliance Banquet and it had indeed happened.


    ¡°Thank you brother Zhao for helping with my heart knot.¡±


    Yang Gan looked towards Zhao Feng with gratitude and complexity.


    Zhao Feng had straightforwardly said what was wrong and had used power to untie Yang Gan¡¯s heart knot.


    If Zhao Feng didn¡¯t say this, Yang Gan would be extremely pressured and might even be jealous, causing him to fall into the abyss.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want there to be any fights among them so he went straight to the point.


    At this moment Yang Gan¡¯s state of heart became wider and there was nothing restraining him, giving him more of a chance to improve his cultivation.


    First Elder took all of this into his eyes and nodded his head.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions seemed arrogant and careless but had solved the problem with the simplest and most straightforward way.


    After Yang Gan left, only Zhao Feng and First Elder were left behind.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, what else is there?¡±


    First Elder asked.


    Zhao Feng took out the beast skin from the Forbidden land of One Hundred Graves and handed it over to First Elder.


    First Elder scanned the writings on the beast skin and his expression kept changing.


    First Elder obviously knew the words written on the beast skin and seemed to see some kind of secret from it.


    ¡°I can¡¯t believe you survived from entering the Forbidden lands of One Hundred Graves.¡±


    First Elder took a deep breath and expressed his shock and disbelief.


    The Forbidden land of One Hundred Graves was one of the 7 Forbidden Places on the continent and in the past thousand years only the Scarlet Moon Patriarch was able to retreat from it unharmed.


    First Elder was still uneasy and checked Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    ¡°If This Disciple was hit by the curse, would my cultivation increase?¡±


    And as expected First Elder didn¡¯t find anything from Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Even if Zhao Feng was hit by the curse, those at the True Spirit Realm would probably be unable to break it.


    Of course, the reason why Zhao Feng handed over the beast skin to First Elder was because he wanted to ask some questions.


    ¡°Does the rankings between Clan¡¯s actually exist? How strong would a 1-Star Clan be?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked his questions.


    ¡°This is just a legend. If factions were ranked according to the Stars, no one force or faction has even reached above 1-Stars in the history of the Azure Flower Continent.¡±


    First Elder smiled bitterly.


    Hearing this Zhao Feng was stunned. Didn¡¯t this mean that the Broken Moon Clan wasn¡¯t even 1 Star¡¯s?


    ¡°According to the Star rankings, the ten strongest factions in this continent could be barely considered one stars. Strictly speaking, only the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡± from several hundred years ago could be considered a true 1 Star faction. As for the Broken Moon Clan, it¡¯s not even half a Star. Furthermore, the gap between half a star and 1 Star is tens to hundreds of times more. Of course, it can¡¯t be considered true.¡±


    When First Elder spoke, he shook his head.


    Ranking forces by Stars was only a legend.


    According to the ranks, the Broken Moon Clan wasn¡¯t even half a star and 1 Star forces were tens to hundreds of times stronger than half a Star forces.


    If it continued on like this, 1.5 stars¡­. 2 stars¡­.. Up to 5 Stars, how devastating would a 5 Star force be?


    A few servants from a 2 Star force could already destroy the Broken Moon Clan, so don¡¯t even think about a 5 Star force.


    ¡°There are too many legends. You can go to the library and read the records there.¡±


    First Elder sighed and seemed that he didn¡¯t want to say much more.


    Zhao Feng returned back to the Central Hall Division and stepped into the library.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng found the records regarding the Stars.


    According to it, a half star Clan needed at least one person at the True Lord Realm and tens of others at the True Spirit Realm as well as a bunch of other requirements.


    It seemed like not only was the Broken Moon Clan not a half star faction, it was far from it.


    At a certain point in time.


    Zhao Feng started to read about the beginning of time.


    According to the records, there existed a ¡°Desolate Continent¡±.


    The Desolate Era was enormous and was there from the start of time, giving birth to gods and demons that controlled tremendous power and almost immortal.


    Amongst the passage of time, limitless races appeared on the Desolate Continent.


    Until one day.


    A battle happened in which even deities, demons, and ancient godking¡¯s participated in.


    That battle shook the sun and moon and even ripped apart earth, finally dragging in Ancestral Gods into the battle, who used prohibited power, creating a destructive windstorm that shattered the Desolate Continent.


    The world didn¡¯t end after the Desolate Continent shattered. Instead, this gigantic continent split into billions and trillions of pieces and the bloodline of the Ancient Gods merged into this specks.


    The legend says.


    The Azure Flower Continent was one of the billions and trillion pieces of the Desolate Continent.


    Zhao Feng felt incredulous when he saw this legend.


    If this was true, then the Desolate Continent would be too large, just one speck would be the size of a world.


    He obviously didn¡¯t believe this, just like how he half-believed the Star rankings.


    Zhao Feng closed the records and turned around and left.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng suddenly realised that the little thieving cat¡¯s eyes twinkled when he read these legends.


    At the same instant he turned around, a memory sounded: ¡°The Ancient is broken and the Ancient Gods slain will turn into a trillion dust¡­¡­¡±


    This sound was very familiar and was what Zhao Feng first heard when he received the mysterious left eye.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body froze and he couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.


    The Ancient is broken and the Ancient Gods slain will turn into a trillion dust.


    These short, simple words seemed to verify what the records Zhao Feng had just seen.


    Didn¡¯t this mean¡­.. That these legends were true then? At least in the general direction.


    If the legends were true, then the Star rankings of forces should be as well.


    At this instant.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind was blown but he soon calmed down.


    Even since he had merged with the mysterious left eye he had become calm and resolute. No matter how dangerous or desperate the situation was, he was still able to regain his composure.


    ¡°This means my left eye was an eye of an Ancient God?¡±


    Zhao Feng thought but was almost certain it was so.


    An eye that came from an Ancient God who came from the era of the Desolate Continent.


    Zhao Feng was very confident in his analysis, of course, this was presumed that the legends were true.


    ¡°Therefore, I shall name my left eye God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmued.


    Peng Peng Peng Peng¡­.


    The left eye suddenly thumped faster and a faint azure blood within the depths of the eye seem to burn, as if an Emperor awakening.


    A even deeper aura merged into Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline which turned Zhao Feng¡¯s hair color even darker.

 223 Dragon Concealing Lake

    Zhao Feng felt the changes in his body and he saw that his bloodline power had become thicker.


    He returned back to the room. He took out a mirror and he saw that his left eye and hair had become slightly darker.


    Zhao Feng took a light breath and circulated his azure blood. Instantly, a thin layer of azure light had enveloped his skin and it gave off a queer, but noble aura.


    Zhao Feng felt that his blood and bones were being filled with an indescribable power and his energy was enhanced.


    ¡°My strength has increased by 10-20% and I seem to be protected somewhat.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected the changes in his bloodline power closely.


    There were two main points.


    One, his bloodline power had become thicker and the attributes that he had gained had increased. Two, when he circulated his bloodline power, a glass-like azure tattoo would envelop his body and it would protect him.


    Zhao Feng felt that the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s bloodline was one step further to awakening.


    He soon put his eyepatch back on and he concealed his bloodline power, which made the glass-like azure tattoo disappear.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to be any different except that the colour of his hair had got slightly darker.


    For the next day, Zhao Feng got familiar with his bloodline power and he consolidated his cultivation.


    Right now, his cultivation had reached the limit of the 5th Sky and he was only behind Yang Gan amongst the Core disciples.


    The next morning.


    The ten Core disciples of the Broken Moon Clan sat on three separate flying beasts and they headed North.


    This time, they were being led by the Broken Moon Clan Master, First Elder, Granny Liuyue, Hai Yun Master, Vice-Head Li and a few others of the older generation.


    Zhao Feng sat on Vice Head Li¡¯s Two headed Silver Crowned Bird and he helped him tame it.


    At this point in time, the Two headed Silver Crowned Bird was already extremely obedient.


    Vice Head Li was full of admiration: ¡°Usually, adult flying beasts like this are very hard to tame. Many have to be tamed from young.¡±


    Under normal circumstances, it would range from half a year to several years to tame this adult Two headed Silver Crowned Bird.


    But with Zhao Feng¡¯s help, only half a month was needed.


    Lin Fan and Liu Yue¡¯er sat on the Two headed Silver Crowned Bird as well, they were two people who Zhao Feng was familiar with.


    ¡°Senior, how long is it till we arrive?¡± Liu Yue¡¯er asked obediently.


    ¡°Around two - three days, including the breaks in between.¡± Vice-Head Li answered.


    The Alliance Banquet was held in the territories of the thirteen countries and it was at the famous ¡®Dragon Concealing Lake¡¯.


    This lake was at the center of the thirteen countries¡¯ territories.


    On the journey, Zhao Feng sat cross-legged and he circulated his True Force to sense the energy of heaven and earth. While circulating it, he could feel the power of lightning in the air above.


    Ever since the Floating Crest Trial, all of Zhao Feng¡¯s skills used the Lightning Inheritance as their foundation.


    The Lightning Inheritance contained every aspect including movement, speed, offense and defense. Zhao Feng currently had two paths of cultivation.


    One was the Lightning Inheritance and the other was Mental Energy. Zhao Feng had almost given up on body strengthening after the Floating Crest Trial.


    Originally, he could continue to cultivate the Nine Twist Golden Wall Technique since he had completed the Silver Wall Technique. But body strengthening was hard and progression was slow. It would also use a large amount of resources.


    The Nine Twist Golden Wall Technique was a peak tier Mortal skill and if Zhao Feng needed it, he could easily get it with his status in the Clan.


    One had to know tgat Zhao Feng even had Spiritual tier skills in his mind and normal Spiritual skills had strict requirements. But they weren''t better than the Lightning Inheritance because Inheritances were complete with every spirit.


    In terms of value, a low tier Spiritual skill was definitely not as good as the Lightning Inheritance, just like how a Spiritual weapon wasn¡¯t worth as much as an Inheritance item.


    Zhao Feng had done body strengthening when he was in the Consolidate Realm and he had set a strong foundation, which was why his cultivation could increase rapidly.


    But now, there was no point in body strengthening unless one wanted to go down the path of body strengthening.


    ¡°No matter how strong one¡¯s body is, I can crumble their defense with one thought of mine and no matter how powerful one¡¯s defense is, my Lightning Wind Palm can shatter it.¡±


    Zhao Feng seemed to understand something. There was no such thing as the strongest Dao, there was only the most suitable Dao.


    And Zhao Feng chose the mysterious mental energy techniques and Lightning, which strived for destruction.


    While sitting and gaining comprehension, Zhao Feng suddenly felt a sizzle of killing intent. Although it was just a sizzle and well hidden, it didn¡¯t escape Zhao Feng¡¯s senses.


    On top of the Giant Golden Ashen Eagle.


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s eyes flashed coldly as they locked on Zhao Feng.


    A few days ago when Zhao Feng came back and overtook Bei Moi, Hai Yun Master felt a danger and pressure that he never felt before.


    Through a series of questioning, Hai Yun Master had understood Zhao Feng¡¯s path to maturity and felt uneasy. Zhao Feng¡¯s path to maturity turned the impossible to possible.


    In just half a year''s time, how many miracles had Zhao Feng created?


    Dominating the Outer disciples, becoming number one.


    Cultivating the Lightning Wind Palm.


    Establishing his dominance in the Scarlet Moon Cave, becoming First Elder¡¯s disciple.


    Breaking the ten thousand year record of the Floating Crest Trial.


    Shocking everyone in the Three Clan Party.


    And now, there were many disciples discussing whether Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength was stronger than the Head Disciple.


    ¡°This is the last time¡­ Alliance Banquet.¡±


    Hai Yun Master tried his best to calm the uneasiness in his heart.


    If Zhao Feng could create a miracle in this Alliance Banquet, he would slay the latter no matter what the price was.


    Three days later.


    A sparkling blue lake came into view.


    ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±


    From on top of the three flying beasts came sounds of expectation and excitement.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and he saw that the lake was around one thousand miles large.


    In the middle of the lake, there was a small island the size of Sun Feather City.


    At this point in time.


    The nearby flying beasts all headed towards the small island in the middle.


    ¡°This is the gathering place of the Thirteen Clans - the Dragon Concealing Lake.¡± Vice Head Li smiled.


    There were many legends about the Dragon Concealing Lake.


    Apparently, several thousands of years ago, a cultivator had cultivated here for almost a hundred years and he finally became a bright star that swept across the Azure Flower Continent.


    That cultivator was known as ¡®Concealed Dragon¡¯, whose cultivation was said to be at the Origin Core Realm and he was extremely famous.


    In this continent, anyone that had reached the Origin Core Realm was recorded as legends.


    ¡°The legends of ¡®Concealed Dragon¡¯ is true.¡± Vice Head Li said confidently, which peaked Liu Yue¡¯er¡¯s curiousity.


    ¡°Really? How would you be certain?¡± Liu Yue¡¯er asked curiously.


    Vice Head Li laughed: ¡°The top three rewards of the Alliance Banquet this time has something to do with the ¡®Concealed Dragon¡¯.


    ¡°What is the reward?¡± Zhao Feng and Lin Fan couldn¡¯t hold back from asking.


    ¡°When the Concealed Dragon cultivated in the Concealing Dragon Lake, there was a ruin behind and apparently, that ruin contained the insights and comprehension from an expert at the Origin Core Realm. This is one of the most treasured places of the thirteen countries.¡± Vice Head Li said.


    The ¡®Origin Core Ruins¡¯ in the Concealing Dragon Lake was guarded by the top three Clans: The Cloud Sword Clan, Ancient Shrine and True Mystic Clan.


    Usually, only the top geniuses of the three Clan¡¯s were allowed to enter.


    But the remaining ten Clans were obviously unwilling. Therefore, the Alliance Banquet every ten years was an event for sparring amongst them and a way to distribute the resources.


    Soon, those from the Broken Moon Clan entered the island.


    The small island was a place used specifically to host the Alliance Banquet.


    In the centre of the small island, there was an array stage several miles large.


    This was the first time that everyone had seen such a large array stage and it was created with pitch black sand stones.


    The pitch black sand stone was extremely hard and only Mortal weapons could barely damage it. Furthermore, such a large amount of sand stones decreased the power.


    Around the black sand stone stage was fifteen stands.


    Each Clan had a respective stand and as for the remaining two stands, they were prepared for the Iron Dragon Country and Sky Rich Country.


    ¡®¡°The two factions of those two countries used to send disciples here, but eventually they stopped coming.¡± Vice Head Li explained.


    Soon.


    The group from the Broken Moon Clan were taken to a stand. The stand wasn¡¯t only used to spectate, there was also housing on it.


    Several hours later.


    The Lin Moon Clan and Silver Moon Clan had arrived respectively one another and they were placed to the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s left.


    The three Clans used to be one Clan and they usually faced enemies together.


    The combined strength of these three Clans weren¡¯t to be looked down upon.


    ¡°Look, it¡¯s one of the Four Stars!¡±


    A few people from the stands glanced over.


    Ao Yuetian was indeed one of the top geniuses. His arrival had caused a ripple.


    His cultivation had reached the 7th Sky and he had damped the brightness of many geniuses.


    In the next day.


    All thirteen groups from the thirteen Clan¡¯s arrived.


    Unexpectedly, the Iron Dragon Country also sent a group of people to spectate. The Iron Dragon Country was the most powerful country on the Northern Continent and their force was much stronger than the Thirteen Clans.


    ¡°Hehe, this time¡¯s Alliance Banquet is far more popular than before.¡±


    The black sand stone stage lit up and a layer of thin gold light sliced the array stage into four parts.


    At the same time, four experts at the True Spirit Realm went to manage the array at each of the four parts.


    ¡°The array stage is split into four parts and the top three from each area will beranked. Finally, the four parts will become one and that¡¯s when the true battle starts¡­ ¡±


    From the stands came excited and expectant discussions.


    Soon, an expert at the True Spirit Realm from the Cloud Moon Clan finished all the announcements.


    ¡°The reward for first place in the Alliance Banquet this time will not only be ten thousand low grade Primal Crystal stones, they will have the chance to enter the ¡®Origin Core Ruins¡¯, they will also receive a Shedding Spiritual pill.¡± A bright voice sounded.


    Shedding Spiritual pill?


    Information regarding it popped up in Zhao Feng¡¯s head.


    At the same time, everyone broke out into chaos.


    Vice Head Li was full of excitement and shock: ¡°I can¡¯t believe that the Alliance Banquet is giving out a Shedding Spiritual pill this time!¡±

 224 Glorious Appearance

    Hearing the three words ¡®Shedding Spiritual pill¡¯, the participating disciples all felt their blood rush and some of the older generation couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.


    Being a pill maker, information regarding the pill soon appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    The Shedding Spiritual pill was a Tier 3 Spiritual pill and its effect was that it helped those trying to break through to the True Spirit Realm by 20%.


    This effect was enough for those at the 7th Sky and half-step True Spirit Realm to go insane for it.


    There was a saying in this world: ¡°Once a True Spirit, never mortal.¡±


    Simply said, once one broke through to the True Spirit Realm, they were beings that couldn¡¯t be compared to mortals. Their lifeform had exceeded mortals significantly and both strength and life span would increase dramatically.


    A normal cultivator at the 7th Sky had a 10% chance of successfully breaking through to the True Spirit Realm.


    Having a Shedding Spiritual pill meant that the original chances of success had been doubled.


    ¡°Furthermore, the Shedding Spiritual pill has another use. When someone at the Ascended Realm uses it, they are guaranteed to reach the next Sky. Even if someone at the 7th Sky uses it, they can easily reach the half-step True Spirit Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath as his heart thumped.


    The effect of the Shedding Spiritual pill was legendary for those under the True Spirit Realm.


    A 100% chance of reaching the next Sky, how tempting was that?


    One had to know that each and every step in the late stages of the Ascended Realm was hard, especially after the 4th Sky. One might be stuck at that step for years or even decades.


    ¡°No wonder it''s a Grade 3 Spiritual Pill.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled and he made a decision. Even if he had to reveal all his strength, he would fight for first place.


    The Shedding Spiritual Pill¡¯s effect was irresistible.


    Bei Moi¡¯s fists were tightly clenched as a light flashed in his eyes.


    Ao Yuetian of the Lin Moon Clan took a deep breath and his bloodline power started to tremble slightly, causing a tremendous aura to appear.


    After the reward was announced, the top geniuses of the thirteen Clans all had resolute looks and some even had slightly insane and brutal expressions.


    Soon.


    The rewards were all announced.


    The first three were able to enter the Origin Core Ruins and the top ten all had respective rewards, including Spiritual Pills, martial arts and primal crystal stones.


    But without a doubt, only the prize for first place was luring.


    This was especially so for the Four Stars who had all reached the 7th Sky. If they were able to get the Shedding Spiritual Pill, they had a chance to break through to the True Spirit Realm in a year or two.


    On the same day.


    After the rewards and rules were announced, the representative disciples from every Clan went to register and get their number plates.


    On the second day.


    The once every ten years Alliance Banquet officially started.


    At this point in time, the disciples from the Thirteen Clan all felt their blood boiling with excitement.


    The Alliance Banquet was only once every ten years and it was different to the Three Clan Party. This was a stage purely for the younger generation and the older generation were only there to watch.


    There were many geniuses in history who had evolved from a snake to dragon here. Furthermore, the Alliance Banquet wasn¡¯t as simple as sparring.


    Zhao Feng heard Vice Head Li mention that the rankings of the disciples would affect the resources that each Clan was allocated.


    This meant that if Zhao Feng was able to reach top three or even get first, the Broken Moon Clan would benefit greatly.


    This was also why the Thirteen Clan¡¯s all placed great importance on the Alliance Banquet.


    The black sand array stage that was several miles wide suddenly lit up.


    Weng!


    The enormous black sand array stage was split into four different areas by beams of faint golden light.


    The first round, qualifying round.


    The four areas represented four different battlegrounds and each of the Four Stars would be in one of them.


    After a range of battles, the top three from each area would be decided.


    After the qualifying round ended, the four areas would become one and from there, the brightest battle in history would begin.


    Everyone was expectant and excited for the last stage and if one was to enter this round, they were gathering face for their respective Clans.


    Of course, this was considering that one was able to pass the preliminaries.


    Soon.


    The two hundred elite disciples from the Thirteen Clans were split into four areas.


    The first area had Cang Yuyue.


    The second area had Lin Tongxuan.


    The third area had Xu Zixuan.


    The fourth area had Ao Yuetian.


    Every area was lead by one of the Four Stars. This would mean the Four Stars wouldn¡¯t clash too early and it would promote fairness.


    Zhao Feng was sent to the third stage.


    Lin Fan was also sent to the third area.


    The two looked at each other and they smiled before walking to the third area.


    The third area had already forty to fifty people of the younger generation on it and all of them had sharp auras.


    Any one of them was stronger than most Core disciples of the Broken Moon Clan.


    The third area was led by Xu Zixuan and everyone looked with him with wary and solemn expressions.


    Xu Zixuan stood with his hands behind his back and he was extremely handsome. He would smile faintly and he seemed easy to talk to. The only point different about him was that he had three swords on his back and each of them was high quality.


    In terms of ranking, Xu Zixuan was above Ao Yuetian, but he wasn¡¯t as arrogant as the latter.


    Apart from Xu Zixuan, there was also geniuses from the ¡®top ladder¡¯ in area three.


    Geniuses at the top ladder were just one step below the Four Stars and their cultivation had reached the 6th Sky, having the strength of head disciples.


    Taking area three for example, there were already three or four top ladder geniuses whose aura¡¯s were even stronger than Yang Gan.


    These top ladder geniuses¡¯ eyes flashed as they locked onto Xu Zixuan.


    Obviously, their target was the Four Stars. No one else was put in their eyes.


    ¡°The qualifying round will now begin!¡±


    Under this sound, the four judges at the True Spirit Realm announced the start.


    In the next instant, the spectators broke out into chaos.


    Each of the Four Stars, representing the top prodiges of the Thirteen Clans stepped onto the stage.


    On the first stage, a girl holding a three yard long green sword with eyes full of calmness stood quietly, like a goddess in a picture.


    She was Cang Yuyue, the head of the Four Stars, a girl who had crushed everyone of the younger generation under her feet.


    On the second stage, a youth clothed in pure black stood there and he seemed to have the ability to pull everyone¡¯s heart into an abyss.


    On the third stage, a handsome youth with three swords behind his back stood there and he seemed like he wasn¡¯t part of this world.


    On the fourth stage, a man with the air of nobility and the features of a stone carving was there.


    At this point in time, the Four Stars all stepped up gloriously at once.


    And their opponents were all extremely nervous. One didn¡¯t know if it was an honor or sadness to face off against the Stars of this generation.


    Jiang!


    A cold flash of light that seemed to be able to slice through the clouds had appeared.


    That one flash of light dimmed everything, including the black sand array stage.


    Everyone¡¯s hearts trembled as their eyes saw a sword shadow. And at this time, Cang Yuyue¡¯s attack was complete.


    Her opponent, who was at the peak 5th Sky, had a faint blood gash in their throat.


    The spectators were all stunned by the beautiful slash.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook and he felt as if his own heart had been sliced open. That sword seemed to be able to slash into one¡¯s consciousness and destroy everything with a feeling of loneliness.


    That¡¯s right.


    Zhao Feng felt loneliness from it. A loneliness from one standing at the top of the mountain.


    At almost the exactly same time, Lin Tong, Xu Zixuan and Ao Yuetian had finished their battles.


    Plop.


    Lin Tong¡¯s opponent fell onto the ground silently as blood leaked out of their eyes, nose and ears.


    The opponents of Lin Tong, who was the Head disciple of the Ancient Shrine, were always defeated without sound.


    In area three.


    Shua---


    One of the three swords in Xu Zixuan¡¯s back suddenly flew out of its sheath and it flew through the air before slaying his opponent.


    Attacking through the air with his sword in absolute dominance.


    ¡°He¡¯s trained this skill of the Mystic True Clan to such a high degree!¡±


    The group of people in area three felt their hearts go cold and a few had pale faces.


    Xu Zixuan¡¯s actions were like a god''s.


    Zhao Feng and Lin Fn couldn¡¯t suppress the shock in their hearts. This was the first time that they had seen something similar to this.


    Such beautiful, incredible and unbeatable power came from Xu Zixuan.


    ¡°The Mystic True Clan apparently pursues the mystic door for eternal life and they have mysterious techniques.¡±


    Before the Alliance Banquet started, Zhao Feng had researched the other Clans.


    Area four.


    Ao Yuetian pointed his finger and a cold flash of moonlight sent his opponent flying while spitting blood at the same time. Crisp and simple.


    In the short span of one breath, the Four Stars all instantly slew their opponents.


    The fastest people were Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong, who had finished their attacks before anyone had reacted. Even their opponents didn¡¯t see how they lost.


    ¡°The Four Stars are indeed stronger than another¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he felt a huge pressure.


    The strength that the Four Stars showed in the first round was only the tip of an iceberg.


    Their true strength and hidden cards were unimaginable.


    The appearance of the Four Stars lit up the entire atmosphere.


    After that, the four areas started the next round of battles.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attention went back to area three.


    Apart from Xu Zixuan, there were also many top ladder geniuses who were more powerful than Yang Gan and had the potential to fight for the rankings of the Four Stars.


    Zhao Feng first thought that he needed to wait at least half a day for his turn, but it was his turn on the third round.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s opponent was a blue robed girl who had beautiful eyebrows and the air of someone that rejected anyone from a thousand miles out.


    The beauty and aura from the girl caused the expressions of many people of area three to move and even Xu Zixuan looked at her.


    Zhao Feng felt that this girl wasn¡¯t simple - he could tell from the looks of sympathy towards him from the crowd around the stage.

 225 I didn’t do it on Purpose

    The blue robed girl was a beauty, and she received attention in area three slightly below that of Xu Zixuan.


    In all of the Alliance Banquet, the only ones who were comparable to her in terms of looks were Zhao Yufei and Cang Yuyue.


    The instant she went on-stage, she caught the attention of the entire alliance.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s Gu Lanyue, the Head disciple of the Secluded Jade Palace, and she can reach the top ten or so.¡±


    ¡°That kid¡¯s luck with girls isn¡¯t bad, but he won¡¯t get the chance to savour them.¡±


    A few of the elite disciples looked gloatingly at Zhao Feng.


    Gu Lanyue was the Head disciple of the Secluded Jade Palace and the Clan was unique amongst the Thirteen Clans. All of the disciples were beautiful girls.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er¡¯s opponent is her.¡±


    The Broken Moon Clan Master¡¯s expression changed.


    Gu Lanyue was famous amongst the Thirteen Clans. It was rumoured that even Ao Yuetian had chased this girl, but it ended with failure. From this, one could see her standards.


    The high authority of the Broken Moon Clan had solemn expressions. Although Zhao Feng was strong, they didn¡¯t have absolute confidence in him.


    Because in terms of strength, Gu Lanyue was even stronger than Yang Gan.


    Only First Elder was calm as he stared at area three and he thought in his heart: ¡°Feng¡¯er, your aim is to become a Star, if you can¡¯t even pass this stage then¡­ ¡±


    Right at this time, the laughter of girls could be heard from some spectating stands.


    ¡°Haha, Sister Gu will win easily.¡±


    ¡°I bet that Sister Gu will within a few moves.¡±


    ¡°I bet seven moves.¡±


    ¡°I bet three moves¡±


    These voices caused the higher-ups of the Broken Moon Clan to look over.


    It looked like that the Secluded Jade Palace¡¯s spectating stands were right next to theirs.


    The Broken Moon Clan Master and Elders had ugly expressions. The Secluded Jade Palace was too arrogant.


    As if feeling the dissatisfaction from the Broken Moon Clan, a beauty clothed in blue from the Secluded Jade Palace¡¯s stand looked over and said: ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s the fellow daoists from the Broken Moon Clan. You all don¡¯t need to worry, Lanyue will restrain herself.¡±


    After this was said, everyone in the spectating stand of the Secluded Jade Palace started to laugh.


    The expressions of the Broken Moon Clan Master and Elders became even uglier.


    ¡°Secluded Jade Palace Master, don¡¯t say your words too early.¡±


    The eyes of the Broken Moon Clan Master flashed as she retorted.


    The Secluded Jade Palace Master didn¡¯t think so and a mocking expression appeared on the corner of her lips, like she was too disdainful to explain.


    She was obviously very confident in Gu Lanyue¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er has never lost before.¡±


    First Elder opened his mouth and he slowly spoke. His few and simple words were full of confidence and they caused the hearts of the higher-ups of both Clans to tremble.


    Never lost before.


    How much weight was contained within these words?


    Those from the Broken Moon Clan couldn¡¯t help but remember how apart from Zhao Feng losing purposely to Ran Xiaoyuan, he actually hadn¡¯t lost before.


    The expression of the Secluded Jade Palace Master changed slightly: ¡°That youth is your disciple?¡±


    Right at this moment.


    On the stage of area three, the two had started to exchange blows.


    So fast!


    The spectating elite disciples all held their breaths.


    Zhao Feng and Gu Lanyue didn¡¯t say anything useless beforehand. They only looked at each other for one or two breaths before instantly making their move.


    Although Gu Lanyue seemed to be weak and calm from the outside, she had an arrogance in her bones which made her not put the youth in front of her in her eyes.


    Thinking about how she had rejected Ao Yuetian, how would she put such an unfamous youth in her eyes?


    However, the instant they exchanged blows, her expression changed.


    The youth in front of her was calm and cold. His actions were as quick as lightning and his speed as well as movement had no weaknesses. He would casually dissolve her attacks.


    Peng!


    The second that she clashed with Zhao Feng, a numbing electric feeling coursed through her body.


    In just three moves.


    Not only did Gu Lanyue gain any advantage, she was slightly overwhelmed.


    The numbing feeling restricted her speed and if it continued, it would harm her life.


    This was Gu Lanyue whose cultivation and strength was even higher than Yang Gan¡¯s. If it was someone else, they would instantly be shocked. What stunned Gu Lanyue was her opponent¡¯s eyes. They were sharp and calm and they didn¡¯t change because of her looks.


    This was a youth cold to the bone.


    Three moves¡­ five moves¡­ Seven moves¡­


    Every time Gu Lanyue exchanged moves with him, her body would turn numb and the slight trembling embarrassed her.


    They had reached to the tenth move.


    The Secluded Jade Palace Master had a solemn expression on her face and the laughter in the stand had stopped.


    The situation right now was looking very bad for Gu Lanyue. Zhao Feng had immense offense power and speed and he held the initiative.


    On the other hand, the higher-ups of the Broken Moon Clan had relieved looks.


    ¡°When has that crazy brat ever lost?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I can¡¯t believe that we were just worrying for him.¡±


    Thinking about Zhao Feng¡¯s actions in the Floating Crest Trial, many people found it funny.


    At this moment.


    Gu Lanyue suddenly retreated tens of yards with an icy expression: ¡°Who are you?¡±


    Who am I!?


    Zhao Feng paused - he seemed to remember that the judge had called out his name before.


    And now this girl was asking for his name. This obviously meant that she hadn¡¯t even bothered before.


    ¡°You¡¯ll eventually know who I am.¡± Zhao Feng snickered coldly.


    ¡°Arrogant.¡±


    Gu Lanyue became embarrassed and angered - when had she ever been looked down upon? And by someone who was the same age as her?


    Blue Moon Illusion Dance!


    Gu Lanyue opened her arms and circles of blue waves spread around her. At the same time, her aura suddenly rose.


    The next instant, Gu Lanyue lept into the air and she waved her sleeves as she danced midair.


    Every time she spun, her sleeves would send out a terrifying wave which could instantly destroy a tree the size of several people.


    ¡°The Blue Moon Illusion Dance consists of nine moves, each more stronger than the last. Sister Gu has already trained up to the seventh move and she injured a cultivator at the 7th Sky with it.¡±


    The Secluded Jade Palace girls disciples started to discuss it.


    ¡°The Blue Dance Illusion Dance. It looks like your luck is very bad for you to meet such a strong opponent, forcing you to use this move already.¡± The Secluded Jade Palace Master sighed.


    Seeing that each move of the Illusion Dance was stronger than the last, the pressure that Zhao Feng felt was also greater.


    If he let the opponent carry on, even he would find it troublesome.


    ¡°It ends here!¡± Zhao Feng exclaimed as his azure hair blew wildly and a spark of lightning appeared in the air.


    Gu Lanyue, who was midair, only felt a destructive aura and the lightning feeling was several times stronger than before.


    Dance of Wind and Thunder!


    The instant that Zhao Feng thrust his palm, out lightning and wind intertwined. Although both of them were doing a ¡®dance¡¯, there was nothing beautiful about them, only terrifying destruction.


    Hong Long Long----


    Amidst the clapping of thunder, Zhao Feng was like a demonic god.


    Wah!


    Gu Lanyue immediately spat out a mouthful of blood as she was swept away by the devastating power and her face as well as her body had burnt marks on them.


    The beautiful girl just a second ago had now become extremely ruffled and her face was almost destroyed.


    ¡°Fuck! Does that guy not know how to go easy on woman?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll definitely win it back for Goddess Gu.¡±


    ¡°Peh, even Gu Lanyue lost, so how would you win with your strength?¡±


    The crowd broke out into chaos.


    Many elite disciples began to curse Zhao Feng.


    ¡°You¡­ you¡­ ¡±


    Gu Lan¡¯s face was extremely pale, she could clearly feel the burn marks on her face and she would never forget the numbing feeling. Furthermore, the Lightning Wind Palm was a very destructive skill and the scars it left behind weren¡¯t easily removed.


    ¡°Zhao Feng wins.¡± The judge at the True Spirit Realm furrowed his eyebrows and announced Zhao Feng¡¯s victory.


    It was rare to see such youths who were able to damage such beauties.


    ¡°So you¡¯re called Zhao Feng. Today¡¯s humiliation and the scar on my face¡­ ¡± Gu Lanyue said through gritted teeth.


    ¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡±


    Zhao Feng cut in her mid sentence and his azure hair blew in the wind, making him seem cold and mysterious. Then he walked off the stage victoriously.


    I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.


    Everyone choked and had colourful expressions. In front of everyone, he had almost disfigured one of the most charming girls in the Thirteen Clans and he ¡®didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡¯.


    This guy was way too casual.


    ¡°That guy¡¯s crazy.¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t you see he only has one eye? He¡¯s definitely a weirdo.¡±


    Everyone looked with Zhao Feng with wary expressions. That insane guy had even injured a beauty like Gu Lanyue, who knew what he would do if it was someone else?


    ¡°Gu Lanyue, are you ok?¡± Xu Zixuan¡¯s clear voice sounded and being one of the Four Stars, his words held great importance.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Gu Lanyue managed to smile. Xu Zixuan was known for his caringness in the Thirteen Clans and because he was also extremely handsome, he was the ideal match for many.


    At the same time.


    Everyone in the spectating stand of the Secluded Jade Palace was angered.


    ¡°When did a righteous clan such as the Broken Moon Clan have such cruel disciples?¡± The Secluded Jade Palace Master shouted.


    The higher-ups of the Broken Moon Clan looked at each other and they felt slightly pressured.


    In terms of strength, the Secluded Jade Palace was ranked 6th, much stronger than the Broken Moon Clan, which was ranked very far behind.


    ¡°She¡¯s only slightly injured.¡±


    First Elder had a calm expression. There wasn¡¯t much reaction from the Broken Moon Clan either, like Zhao Feng¡¯s actions were acceptable.


    Thinking about how this person had harmed even disciples of the same Clan in the Floating Crest Trial, so it wasn¡¯t much of a surprise if he harmed disciples from other Clans.


    ¡°Slightly injured? Don¡¯t you know that looks are very important for a girl?¡±


    The Secluded Jade Palace Master almost exploded from anger, her important disciple had almost been disfigured, how could she not hurt?


    And what made her extremely angered was that the strongest Head disciple of her Clan had lost easily to an unknown disciple.


    Area three.


    Gu Lanyue immediately put on a precious medicine, but it was still unknown whether the scars would remain there or not.


    ¡°Lanyue, I¡¯ll avenge you.¡± Xu Zixuan¡¯s voice was very calm, but it contained absolute confidence.

 226 Dark Horse

    ¡°Lanyue, I¡¯ll avenge you.¡±


    Being one of the Four Stars, Xu Zixuan¡¯s every action was paid attention to.


    When he said this, the disciples in area three all started to gloat.


    ¡°Hahaha, that is karma.¡±


    ¡°That brat is indeed arrogant. Even someone as calm as Xu Zixuan was offended by his actions.¡±


    Everyone was happy, like Zhao Feng had already been sent to the execution stage.


    The fame of the Four Stars had reached an unbearable height.


    No one thought that Zhao Feng had any chance against Xu Zixuan.


    ¡°En, thanks Brother Xu.¡±


    Gu Lanyue didn¡¯t reject Xu Zixuan¡¯s offer and she took her poisonous eyes off Zhao Feng.


    No matter how nice she was, after being smacked in the face in front of such a big crowd, she couldn¡¯t put away the hate in her heart.


    Seeing that everyone looked at Zhao Feng like a dead man, Lin Fan, who was next to Zhao Feng, got the jitters.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, the situation doesn¡¯t seem to be very good¡­ ¡± Lin Fan said slightly bitterly.


    Because he was standing right next to Zhao Feng, others also paid attention to him and without a doubt, those people wouldn¡¯t go easy on him.


    ¡°There¡¯s only a handful of people who can beat you easily. If you really can¡¯t win, just admit defeat. And I believe very soon that no one would dare to go hard on you¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that Lin Fan had also been involved in the matter because of him, but he also knew the latter¡¯s strength since the two sparred regularly together.


    Ridiculous.


    The nearby people snickered coldly when they heard the conversation between the two.


    Lin Fan held down his voice: ¡°How can you be so harsh to such a beauty?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just a light injury. If it was someone else, the result would be the same. I treat everyone the same. Plus, I really didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s last sentence was lacking confidence.


    ¡°Treating everyone the same?¡±


    Lin Fan shook his head. Although this was easily said, not many could do this.


    But he didn¡¯t know that in front of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, everyone turned into a pile of flesh and bones, no matter if they were a beauty or not.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t affected much by looks.


    Area 3.


    The battles continued.


    It was soon Lin Fan¡¯s turn and his opponent was a yellow clothed youth who was at the 5th Sky.


    ¡°You¡¯re on the same side as the one-eyed brat. I¡¯ll make this battle very painful for you.¡± The yellow clothed youth said brutally.


    Lin Fan didn¡¯t say anything and he flashed out his sword, which sliced through the yellow clothed youth¡¯s True Force defense.


    In terms of cultivation, Lin Fan was only at the peak 4th Sky, but he was ranked top 5 in the Broken Moon Core disciples.


    The yellow clothed youth was defeated in two to three moves.


    The strength that Zhao Feng and Lin Fan displayed after the first round caused others to be slightly wary.


    Next.


    The second round started.


    Xu Zixuan once again went up


    Xu Zixuan¡¯s opponent this time was a youth at the 6th Sky who was came from the Cloud Sword Clan.


    Jiang!


    A sparkling gold flying sword flew off Xu Zixuan¡¯s back, and it flew out with extreme speed and power.


    The disciple of the Cloud Sword Clan wasn¡¯t bad and his forte was the sword, which instantly left a field of green swords in the air.


    Shua!


    The sparkling gold light slashed at the opponent with unbelievable sharpness.


    ¡°I admit defeat.¡±


    The disciple of the Cloud Sword Clan immediately gave up and at this time, there was already a bloody gash on his cheek.


    In terms of strength, this youth from the Cloud Sword Clan was on par with Yang Gan, but he was defeated instantly.


    Soon.


    It was Zhao Feng¡¯s turn again.


    The figure of a one-eyed and azure haired youth caught the attention of many.


    And this time, Zhao Feng¡¯s opponent was still very powerful. It was a square faced youth who wore a black robe.


    The black robed youth had pitch black pupils and he was emotionless.


    He stood with his hands behind his back and a queer aura spread out from his body.


    ¡°A Core disciple from the Ancient Shrine.¡±


    ¡°Tan Lin who is placed 3rd in the Ancient Shrine Core disciples rankings.¡±


    Many people drew a cold breath.


    Area 3 was indeed full of many strong people. Apart from Xi Zixuan, there was Tan Lin and Gu Lanyue. These people were close to the ¡®top of the ladder¡¯.


    The participating disciples of the Ancient Shrine were always low in number and this time only five came, possibly all of the younger generation disciples of the Ancient Shrine.


    The Ancient Shrine went down the path of elites.


    According to previous experience, all of the Ancient Shrine disciples were generally able to reach the top 20 and there would definitely be one in the top 3.


    ¡°Zezeze, Zhao Feng¡¯s luck is not very good.¡±


    Gloating voices sounded from below.


    Even Lin Fan had to admit this point.


    First, it was Gu Lanyue and now, it was Tan Lin.


    One had to know that if one¡¯s luck wasn¡¯t very good and they met powerful opponent¡¯s every time, their performance would drop over time.


    Xu Zixuan and Gu Lanyue were both watching this battle. Even some people from the other area¡¯s looked over.


    The reason why they paid attention was because of two points.


    One: Zhao Feng had humiliated a beauty in the match before and he left a cruel impression in their hearts.


    Two: The disciples of the Ancient Shrine were strong and their attacks were very mysterious.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng and Tan Lin¡¯s match became a focus point.


    ¡°Kekeke¡­ Aren¡¯t you going to admit defeat after seeing that your opponent is me?¡±


    A sizzle of a blue light lit up in Tan Lin¡¯s pitch black pupils.


    An invisible layer of mental energy had enveloped the area. Under normal circumstances, Tan Lin¡¯s opponents would stand still for a second or two before falling unconscious to the ground.


    Zhao Feng only felt an invisible hand crush on his body.


    At the same time, alluring voices sounded in his mind.


    Hypnotist Illusion attack.


    Zhao Feng recognised his opponent''s style of offense very quickly.


    However, the latter¡¯s mental energy was nowhere close to the hooded figure from that day, so how could it harm Zhao Feng?


    One breath¡­ Two breaths¡­ Time passed slowly by.


    Three breaths later.


    Zhao Feng still had a smile on his face as he stood in the same place.


    How was this possible?


    Cold sweat had started to form on Tan Lin¡¯s forehead as his expression became solemn. His eyes flashed coldly as a layer of grey flames formed around him and the blue light in his eyes became larger.


    The mental energy in the air caused the energy to fluctuate slightly.


    It was obvious that Tan Lin had used all of his strength and the spectators only felt their hearts tremble slightly and they felt uneasy as well.


    ¡°Such a powerful mental energy attack.¡±


    A portion of the disciples below felt their hearts jump as they felt part of the remaining attack.


    A small number of people had expressions of fear or weariness.


    Both Xu Zixuan and Gu Lanyue were moved by this display of mental energy.


    The mental energy attacks from the Ancient Shrine were indeed hard to block against and many disciples were lacking resistance against it.


    However, seconds and seconds passed by.


    After tens of breaths, Tan Lin¡¯s back was soaked in cold sweat, but Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t harmed at all.


    The spectators were all stunned.


    Even the higher-ups of the Ancient Shrine had solemn expressions.


    A light flashed in Lin Tong, one of the Four Star¡¯s nightmare eyes: ¡°Could this person have a treasure that resists mental energy attacks?¡±


    ¡°Looks like this is the best you can do.¡± Zhao Feng smiled.


    Only he would be so casual in front of the mental energy attack.


    ¡°Brat, don¡¯t think just because you can block my mental energy attack with a treasure, it gives you the right to be arrogant.¡±


    Tan Lin gave up on using mental energy attacks and he crossed his palms, condensing a layer of grey light which caused his cold aura to rise.


    As the Ancient Shrine was ranked 2nd in the Thirteen Clans, they obviously did not only rely on mental energy techniques or else they wouldn¡¯t be able to hold onto the title of 2nd for so long.


    ¡°Kneel!¡± Zhao Feng exclaimed and the air seemed to explode with thunder as a layer of mental energy enveloped Tan Lin.


    Wah!


    Blood leaked from Tan Lin¡¯s orifices as he kneeled onto the ground with a ¡®plop¡¯.


    The crowd watching below felt their blood boil as they heard Zhao Feng¡¯s shout.


    ¡°What kind of attack is that?¡±


    ¡°It also seems like a mental energy attack.¡±


    The crowd broke out into discussion as they looked at Zhao Feng with disbelief.


    Just one shout from Zhao Feng alone injured Tan Lin.


    The second that Tan Lin kneeled onto the ground, a cold light flashed in Zhao Fang¡¯s eyes as he sent out a cold aura with caused his area to feel like hell.


    ¡°Such strong mental energy¡­ You¡¯re also¡­ ¡± Tan Lin managed to squeeze out as he lay there without energy.


    ¡°Zhao Feng wins!¡± The judge announced Zhao Feng¡¯s victory.


    ¡°That brat¡¯s mental energy is even stronger than the disciple from the Ancient Shrine.¡±


    ¡°Look, Zhao Fang¡¯s battle and killing intent have surged up.¡±


    This battle shook the four areas.


    Zhao Feng walked off the stage, still cold and emotionless. The wicked look from his hair blowing in the wind was impressioned deeply into everyone¡¯s heart.


    Area 3.


    Looking at Zhao Feng who was getting closer, the disciples were full of wariness and fear.


    Gu Lanyue couldn¡¯t help but take in a deep breath. She never would have thought that this person would be so strong and mysterious.


    From this moment onwards, Zhao Feng¡¯s name was spread throughout the Alliance Banquet.


    The first dark horse had appeared in the Alliance Banquet and his strength was comparable to the ¡®top of the ladder¡¯.


    ¡°This degree of mental energy is nowhere near enough for the Stars. It¡¯s several tiers lower than Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eyes. It¡¯s hard to reach such a high mastery by training mental energy and Lightning at the same time.¡± Xu Zixuan said regretfully.


    Being one of the Four Stars, his knowledge and thoughts were on another level.


    He couldn¡¯t see through Zhao Feng before and he maybe thought that there was a surprise. But after seeing that the latter also concentrated on mental energy techniques, he lost interest.


    Xu Zixuan remembered what his Master told him: Focus is the path to the peak of success.


    Cang Yuyue was someone like this. Her one sword had reached the pinnacle. No matter what you have, mental energy or body strengthening, it would all be sliced through with one sword.


    Of course, this reasoning was also the foundation of this world.

 227 Heavenly Absent Eyes

    Xu Zixuan wasn¡¯t the only person who knew the reasoning of focus. Zhao Feng also knew about it.


    This was why he had given up on body strengthening. Although body strengthening was strong, cultivating it was too hard and it would restrict progress.


    The battles in the four areas of the Alliance Banquet continued without stop.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes wasn¡¯t just restricted to area 3. He was also looking at the battles in the other areas, especially when the Four Stars fought.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to miss any of their fights and the Four Stars won almost all their battles in one move.


    Of course, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t the only black horse to appear.


    There were three to four other black horses to appear after him. The black horses weren¡¯t famous, but their strength was outstanding and proved so by beating the old elites.


    Zhao Feng recognised Bei Moi and Zhao Yufei as two of them.


    Both Bei Moi and Zhao Yufei were prodigies that received Inheritances and apart from the Four Stars, they won their battles easily.


    There was another black horse named Yan Chuan, whose forte was body strengthening. Yan Chuan¡¯s body had reached an incredible standard - he was able to block those at the 6th Sky with just his body.


    The Head disciple of the Broken Moon Clan Yang Gan had stunned everyone with his performance, but he was defeated by Yan Chuan in a near one hundred move exchange.


    Yan Chuan was at the 6th Sky and adding on his terrifying body strengthening, both his offense and defense were terrifying. This was especially so for his defense and that was the main reason for his victory.


    ¡°Looks like the Head disciple of the Broken Moon Clan is only so-so.¡± Yan Chuan laughed.


    After a hundred or so moves, Yang Gan was puffing whereas Yan Chuan¡¯s breathing rate was normal.


    The difference between the two was instantly shown.


    Yan Chuan was the biggest black horse after Zhao Feng and his fame was just below the Four Stars.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes glanced at Yan Chuan¡¯s body and no further attention was paid.


    Right at this moment, in area one, a bright flash of light seemed to pierce through the clouds.


    A simple clothed girl with skin as white as snow and holding a three yard long green sword stood there. It was like she was a goddess in a painting.


    Cang Yuyue had defeated her opponent in one move once again.


    Every move she made was done so in an instant and it would dampen the battles of other areas.


    The only unfortunate thing was that Cang Yuyue¡¯s actions were too fast and no one was able to see her moves clearly.


    But there was one exception and that was Zhao Feng.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he was able to play the scene of that one sword slowed down by near one hundred times.


    He was stunned by the power of that one sword.


    It had probably reached the power of the peak 7th Sky and normal cultivators at the 7th Sky would probably be instantly killed by that one sword.


    Zhao Feng even had the feeling that if he was to face that sword straight on, he would also be slain in one move.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s offense had surpassed every genius present and she stood at the pinnacle, undefeated and lonely.


    Although her defense might not be as good as Yan Chuan¡¯s and Bei Moi¡¯s and her moves not as mysterious as Lin Tong¡¯s and Xu Zixuan¡¯s, as long as she had her one sword, every attack she faced would be pierced through.


    One sword breaking through ten thousand techniques.


    ¡°That is the Sword Dao¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take in a deep breath. Cang Yuyue made him remember Xin Wuheng, who had left mysteriously that day.


    If one person had to be chosen in the Alliance Banquet who was able to fight against Cang Yuyue, it would be Lin Tong.


    The latter had also been defeating his opponents in one move and his mental energy techniques were very mysterious and they had even surpassed the hooded figure from that day.


    ¡°Yang Gan vs Lin Tong.¡± A voice said.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but look over.


    Facing the number 2 of the Four Stars, a bitter smile appeared on Yang Gan¡¯s lips.


    Of course, he hadn¡¯t given up and his heart as was solid as stone.


    Back in the Broken Moon Clan, Yang Gan had gone through Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®training¡¯ and he had some resistance against it.


    Lin Tong stood still as a cold aura spread throughout the area and it seemed to freeze the air.


    Yang Gan¡¯s heart shook as he felt himself fall into an abyss.


    The cold aura extended throughout to his mind.


    At this point in time, Yang Gan¡¯s face had gone pale white.


    Afterall, he had gone through Zhao Feng¡¯s training and he had strong resistance against mental energy techniques.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Lin Tong was slightly surprised - this was the first time that he hadn¡¯t beaten his opponent instantly.


    Just by this point alone Yang Gan had the right to be proud.


    Yang Gan struggled furiously as his eyes suddenly flashed and he drew his blade. He slashed at Lin Tong.


    The latter was expressionless as a red light appeared his eyes.


    ¡°Heavenly Absent Eyes!¡± The spectators exclaimed.


    Heavenly Absent Eyes.


    The most precious technique of the Ancient Shrine that also needed bloodline power to be able to cultivate it.


    The second that Lin Tong activated his Heavenly Absent Eyes, he seemed to become the emperor. The invisible mysterious power caused nearby disciples to shake.


    At this moment, Lin Tong seemed to have the ability to stand up against Cang Yuyue.


    ¡°Not good.¡±


    Yang Gan held his breath as he felt like his body had been frozen.


    Lin Tong coldly scanned over him.


    Plop.


    Yang Gan fell to the ground soaked in cold sweat and he was tired out.


    All Lin Tong had done was scan Yang Gan and this had crumbled the latter.


    The sounds of drawing cold breaths appeared.


    Both Ao Yuetian and Xu Zixuan of the Four Stars had wary and solemn expressions.


    ¡°The rumours aren¡¯t false at all. All Lin Tong needs to do is glance at his opponent once with his Heavenly Absent Eyes and he defeats them.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s way too terrifying. Of the Four Stars, Lin Tong is without a doubt the most mysterious one.¡±


    The participating disciples were all stunned.


    After Yang Gan lost, both Zhao Feng and Lin Fan went over to check up on him.


    Since Zhao Feng also trained in the path of mental energy, he had the right to express his thoughts.


    At this moment, Yang Gan was still in shock and he was extremely weak.


    ¡°Brother Yang, your weariness and sleepiness comes from the use of mental energy. Where¡¯s the ¡®Returning Deity Spiritual Pill¡¯ I told you to prepare?¡± Zhao Feng reminded.


    Yang Gan immediately ate the Returning Deity Spiritual Pill and colour started to show in his face again.


    Luckily, Lin Tong didn¡¯t act too harshly and he didn¡¯t injure Yang Gan¡¯s mental energy.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, when I was hit by that mental energy technique, I felt as if I was trapped in a prison in an abyss and no matter how I struggled I couldn¡¯t escape¡­ ¡± Yang Gan gasped.


    ¡°Oh, it looks like it was be a mental energy illusion technique.¡± Zhao Feng said after some thought.


    ¡°Why did I feel that so much time had passed?¡± Yang Gan asked curiously.


    ¡°The speed of mental energy is different to reality. It¡¯s like how you can go through your memories in just one thought, but in reality, only an instant had passed.¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    Mental energy illusion techniques were also Zhao Feng¡¯s forte, but Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eyes was much deeper and profound than his.


    While Zhao Feng was talking to Yang Gan, Lin Tong, who was not far away, also looked over.


    Zhao Feng seemed to sense something and he looked straight into Lin Tong¡¯s eyes.


    Instantly waves of invisible mental energy seemed to clash, which seemed to freeze the air.


    Lin Tong¡¯s eyes was were dark and mysterious, whereas Zhao Feng¡¯s one eye was deep but it seemed to contain a sharpness to it.


    At this point in time.


    Everything became dead silent.


    Apart from Zhao Feng and Lin Tong, everyone else felt like they couldn¡¯t breathe.


    ¡°Sparring is not allowed apart from the ones battling.¡±


    The aura of someone at the True Spirit Realm crushed over.


    Zhao Feng turned around and he returned to area 3 expressionlessly.


    ¡°That guy¡¯s pretty interesting. Why is my Heavenly Absent Eye trembling with excitement? And his eyepatch¡­ ¡± Lin Tong murmured to himself.


    The nearby disciples all let out a long breath. When Zhao Feng faced Lin Tong, they felt a pressure on their souls which was extremely nasty.


    After this exchange, many became even warier of Zhao Feng.


    The position of the top black horse was unmovable.


    Across the entire Alliance, who dared to face Lin Tong?


    And looking at the situation, the match between the two were even.


    Area 3.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s one eye and azure hair was extremely outstanding.


    Apart from Xu Zixuan, everyone else became wary and some even feared Zhao Feng. Even Gu Lanyue felt uneasy. Her woman instincts told her that Zhao Feng was a very dangerous person.


    Her eyes flashed and she couldn¡¯t help but worry that the action of making him her enemy was too rash.


    And looking at this Alliance Banquet, the performances of the Broken Moon Clan disciples were not bad.


    Zhao Feng and Bei Moi were two black horses and Yang Gan didn¡¯t tarnish the title of Head disciple. The other Core disciplines, such as Lin Fan and Ran Xiaoyuan, all had great performances too.


    On the spectating stands.


    The Lin Moon Clan, Silver Moon Clan and Secluded Jade Palace, who were close to the Broken Moon Clan, were shocked by the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s display of strength in the younger generation.


    This was especially so for the Silver Moon Clan and Secluded Jade Palace, who had done far better than the Broken Moon Clan in previous Alliance Banquet¡¯s.


    But this time, the latter had easily overtaken the two Clans.


    The higher-authority of the Lin Moon Clan were slightly better.


    ¡°Although the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s younger generation is great this time, there¡¯s no one true leader and none of them will be able to become one of the Stars.¡± The First Elder of the Lin Moon Clan smiled.


    On the Lin Moon Clan¡¯s side however, they still had one of the Four Stars, Ao Yuetian and Zhao Yufei, one of the black horses.


    At the same time.


    In a corner of a spectating stand.


    The people from the Iron Dragon Country were all silent as they watched the Alliance Banquet with coldness, mockery and disdain.


    ¡°Looks like the Thirteen Countries doesn¡¯t have many geniuses. Only the Four Stars are passable.¡± A cold voice sounded from a mysterious figure clothed in black whose face couldn¡¯t be seen.


    On the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s side.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t the Iron Dragon Country having a war with the Sky Rich Country? Why do they still have time to watch the Alliance Banquet?¡± First Elder asked expressionlessly.


    Right at this time, a voice sounded in area 3: ¡°Zhao Feng vs Xu Zixuan.¡±

 228 Three Sword Formation

    ¡°Zhao Feng vs Xu Zixuan.¡±


    The spectators all instantly turned towards area 3.


    One of the most eye-catching geniuses, Xu Zixuan, walked nobly onto the black sand stage.


    When any one of the Four Stars entered the stage, it gathered attention. There was even screams and shouts of young girls.


    Of the Four Stars, Cang Yuyue was a woman and lonely, Lin Tong was too cold and mysterious and Ao Yuetian was arrogant and disrespectful. Only Xu Zixuan was calm and easy to talk to.


    He had great relationships with everyone and he was the ideal match for every girl.


    Of course, the reason why so much attention was paid towards this battle wasn¡¯t just because of Xu Zixuan, it was also because of his opponent.


    Zhao Feng.


    A weird, powerful and cruel dark horse.


    It could be said that he was the darkest horse out here.


    He had almost disfigured Gu Lanyue before and this had caused many males to become angry.


    Of course, because of Zhao Feng¡¯s strength, most were in fear or wary of him.


    The battles between him and Gu Lanyue and Tan Lin had proved Zhao Feng¡¯s cruelty and powerfulness.


    If it was just so, not everyone would be convinced of his abilities. But Zhao Feng had faced Lin Tong a second before and this had increased his mysteriousness.


    He was a mysterious youth that even Lin Tong was curious towards.


    Under the cheers of the crowd, a one-eyed azure haired youth walked onto the stage.


    One of the Four Stars vs the Darkest Horse. This was a battle worth watching.


    At the same time, this battle would also attribute to Zhao Feng¡¯s true worth.


    At this moment in time, those that were familiar with Zhao Feng stared intently at the areana.


    Yang Gan, Bei Moi, Lin Fan, Ran Xiaoyuan, Liu Yue¡¯er¡­ All the representing disciples of the Broken Moon Clan glanced over at area 3.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, your goal and worth as well as the hopes of the Broken Moon Clan depend on this one battle.¡±


    First Elder took a deep breath and he almost held his breath.


    This was the most talented disciple in his lifetime and he was standing on the verge of writing history.


    Success and defeat was on the line.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re cruel and you do whatever you want. If you don¡¯t experience any defeats, who knows how many innocent people will be harmed?¡±


    Righteousness appeared on Xu Zixuan¡¯s calm face.


    The instant he said the, sounds of agreement came from area 3.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. He is a cruel one-eyed bastard. You must teach him a lesson!¡±


    ¡°If he can be so cruel to a beauty like Gu Lanyue, he¡¯ll definitely harm others even more. He must be taught a lesson here.¡±


    The group of youths agreed.


    Under normal situations, they would definitely keep quiet, but one of the Stars had come out. At the point in time, they could say whatever they wanted to.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng had become a ¡®demon¡¯, while Xu Zixuan had become a rightneous ¡®hero¡¯.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng was being cursed at by the crowd, the expressions of the disciples of the Broken Moon Clan had turned slightly ugly.


    Zhao Feng was speechless. Didn''t he only injure a beauty?


    This Xu Zixuan was indeed troublesome. Just from a few words, he had put himself on the path of righteousness.


    Therefore, if Xu Zixuan did indeed teach Zhao Feng a harsh lesson, no one would feel disgusted. On the contrary, his actions would be praised.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if you¡¯re willing to apologise to Gu Lanyue and start anew, this battle will just be a normal fight and I¡¯m willing to become your friend.¡± Xu Zixuan smiled faintly and said honestly.


    Zhao Feng almost over stretched his eye. This Xu Zixuan was ridiculous. What, did he think he was righteousness reincarnate?


    The crowd instantly fell silent.


    Would this mysterious and powerful youth be persuaded by Xu Zixuan? Would all the vengeance between them be resolved and would Zhao Feng turn from wicked to righteous?


    Not only was Xu Zixuan waiting for a reply, everyone was.


    According to logic, a cold and cruel youth such as Zhao Feng would definitely disagree and attack straight away.


    Xu Zixuan had even made preparations.


    ¡°I¡¯m willing to learn your teachings¡­ But that¡¯s if you have the power to make me ¡®turn righteous from my path of wickedness¡¯.¡± A playful smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips.


    Willing to learn your teachings?


    The first half of the sentence caused the crowd to pause, but the second half instantly lit up the anger in everyone¡¯s hearts.


    This guy was humiliating them.


    In front of everyone, Zhao Feng had ¡®toyed¡¯ with Xu Zixuan.


    Instantly, Xu Zixuan¡¯s expression drooped: ¡°You have refused a toast only to drink a penalty.¡±


    Jiang!


    A flashing golden flying sword flew out from Xu Zixuan¡¯s back and it pierced straight at Zhao Feng.


    The speed and explosive power from that flying sword had reached an unbelievable level, like it was symbolising the anger in Xu Zixuan¡¯s heart.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to be distracted. Just Xu Zixuan¡¯s one sword made normal cultivators at the 7th Sky unable to block it. Furthermore, Zhao Feng was only at the 5th Sky.


    Shuuu!


    The golden sword slashed Zhao Feng¡¯s figure into pieces and it left a deep gash on the ground.


    At the same moment.


    Sheeew!


    Amidst the sound of thunder, a figure appeared on the other side.


    ¡°What¡¯s this movement skill that even dodged Xu Zixuan¡¯s attack?¡±


    The crowd broke out into discussion. Just the first move had already stirred the hearts of many.


    From the beginning of the Alliance Banquet till now, no opponent had dodged Xu Zixuan¡¯s flying sword so easily because the sword¡¯s speed was terrifying.


    Even someone at the 7th Sky would be hard-pressed to evade it. But Zhao Feng had done so easily.


    Xu Zixuan¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. Instead, a playful smile appeared on his face.


    Shuaaa------


    The golden flying sword seemed to have eyes. After missing the first time, it continued to pursue Zhao Feng.


    The Yin Shadow Cloak flapped on Zhao Feng¡¯s back and with flashing arcs of lightning, his movement became even quicker.


    The speed he reached this time had even surpassed the flying sword¡¯s.


    Target: Xu Zixuan.


    With sizzles of lightning and the sound of thunder, he had arrived in front of Xu Zixuan.


    According to Zhao Feng¡¯s analysis, Xu Zixuan¡¯s weakness must be close combat if his forte was controlling flying swords.


    Xu Zixuan¡¯s expression changed slightly - this was the first time in the Alliance Banquet that someone had arrived in front of him.


    Peng!


    Amidst the combination of lightning and thunder, arcs of lightning appeared in front of Xu Zixuan.


    The latter didn¡¯t panic and a green blade flew out from his back, which created a wall that clashed heavily with Zhao Feng¡¯s attack.


    With a ¡®Bang¡¯, Zhao Feng¡¯s palm was blocked with the flying sword and his figure was pushed back.


    The three swords on Xu Zixuan¡¯s back could be used for offense and defense, but luckily, Zhao Feng¡¯s lightning slightly numbed Xu Zixuan.


    However, the golden sword still followed Zhao Feng. The green and gold swords pincer attacked Zhao Feng.


    If it was anyone else apart from the Four Stars, they would be in a desperate and dangerous situation.


    Qiuu-----


    Zhao Feng traveled like lightning and instead of retreating, he proceeded forwards. On his palm, condensed arcs of lightning appeared.


    At this moment, his Lightning Wind Palm was pushed to the 6th level, which was twice as powerful as the original 6th level.


    Facing a prodigy that stood at the pinnacle of the Thirteen Countries, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t keep on preserving his strength. So he used his ¡®Lightning Inheritance¡¯ to enhance his offense, movement and True Force.


    Ding--- Peng!


    Zhao Feng continuously used Lightning Wind Palm against Xu Zixuan and the latter¡¯s expression finally changed as he felt a numbing sensation flow through his body.


    After being attacked by Zhao Feng so ferociously, he summoned the third blue sword from his back with a ¡®jiang¡¯ and created a rippling attack.


    The green and blue swords were used for defense and therefore, the only one that could cause Zhao Feng trouble was the gold sword.


    The two defensive swords blocked for Xu Zixuan and they formed an impenetrable defense. This was especially so for the blue sword, which contained the elements of water that was very suitable for defense.


    Xu Zixuan took a deep breath with a solemn expression - the danger had finally passed. He had never thought that his opponent would have gained the upper hand before.


    The spectators were all dazed and were in disbelief.


    The explosive speed and offense that Zhao Feng had shown had reached an unbelievable level with all his skills containing the power of lightning.


    ¡°When did Zhao Feng have such strong battle power?¡±


    ¡°Such pure lightning!¡±


    The higher-ups of the Broken Moon Clan were shocked and Hai Yun Master¡¯s expression was dim.


    The battle prowess that Zhao Feng had displayed right now couldn¡¯t be described with battle consciousness or experience.


    Such pure and profound lightning wasn¡¯t something that the Lightning Wind Palm could have.


    Devastating power and terrifying speed.


    It was because of this that Zhao Feng could gain the upper hand against one of the Four Stars, Xu Zixuan - even though it was just for a moment.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng¡­ How is this possible?¡±


    Ao Yuetian, Bei Moi, Quan Chen and co. were all stunned.


    Gu Lanyue¡¯s expression was pale white and her heart trembled as she glanced at the figure that was covered in lightning.


    Three Sword Formation!


    Xu Zixuan¡¯s eyes flashed and the three flying swords formed a straight line in front of him. They slashed Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks into pieces.


    No matter how destructive Zhao Feng¡¯s offense was, they were all disabled when it came close to the three swords.


    Being one of the four Stars, Xu Zixuan¡¯s hidden cards would obviously not be so simple.


    Zhao Feng had a solemn expression. He had used all his power, excluding his bloodline power, but he couldn¡¯t even touch his opponent.


    Furthermore, after Xu Zixuan¡¯s Three Sword Formation had been formed, there was signs of it counter-attacking.


    Once it started to fully go on the offensive, the power of the Three Sword Formation would slash cultivators of the 7th Sky into pieces and even someone as strong as Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to face it directly.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng turned into an arc of lightning as the Yin Shadow Cloak flapped, causing him jump into the air.


    At the same time, a bow with three arrows appeared in his hand.

 229 Bow and Sword

    The bow had a blue ice lotus symbol in the middle of it.


    Many people were stunned when Zhao Feng took out the Luohou Bow.


    It was extremely rare to seen cultivators that used bow in this continent.


    ¡°Bow?¡±


    Xu Zixuan laughed coldly in his heart. His flying sword could attack long-range and defend as well and the Three Sword Formation was formidable as well.


    Back then, Ao Yuetian was defeated by this Three Sword Formation and even now, the former hadn¡¯t found a solution against it.


    However, at this moment Zhao Feng had taken out a bow. He was dreaming if he thought that the bow could defeat his Three Sword Formation.


    Jiang!


    The golden sword that was in the Three Sword Formation slashed through the air at Zhao Feng.


    Xu Zixuan¡¯s advantage was that the swords were perfect for both long distance and close distance combat since they were incredibly agile.


    ¡°Hehe, of all the weapons, bows have the longest range.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly and with a flap of his Yin Shadow Cloak and clap of thunder, he pulled away from Xu Zixuan.


    In terms of movement speed, Xu Zixuan wasn¡¯t any slower than Zhao Feng since his cultivation was at the 7th Sky after all, meaning that he didn¡¯t have any obvious weakness.


    But¡­ If Xu Zixuan wanted to control the flying sword and attack at the same time, his speed would decrease heavily.


    Although he had three swords that were made of unique materials that allowed him to control them as he wished at the same time, he had to focus a lot on them.


    The distance between Zhao Feng and Xu Zixuan soon widened.


    The area of the stage was big enough for Zhao Feng to make his move.


    Xu Zixuan didn¡¯t know that this one point flipped the battle on its head.


    ¡°Xu Zixuan¡¯s three flying swords are all close to High grade Mortal weapons and after being specially forged, they¡¯ve become a family that can be easily controlled by the former. Once it forms the ¡®Three Sword Formation¡¯, the power increases significantly.¡±


    Zhao Feng realised that Xu Zixuan¡¯s advantage came from his three swords.


    The power of the Three Sword Formation was too terrifying and even Ao Yuetian would lose if he faced them head on.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t able to block it, even with his Lightning Wind Palm unless it reached the 7th level.


    Of the Four Stars, probably only Cang Yuyue was able to break through Xu Zixuan¡¯s Three Sword Formation straight on.


    Beng~~ Sou-- Sou--


    Zhao Feng pulled back the Luohou Bow and he sent whistling arrows almost at the speed of sound at Xu Zixuan.


    A terrifying coldness amidst the crackling of lightning clashed with Xu Zixuan¡¯s flying swords.


    One arrow, two arrows, three arrows.


    Xu Zixuan¡¯s body would stiffen with every exchange and the erosion of lightning and ice made him speechless.


    After the Lightning Inheritance merged into the Luohou Bow, its power reached another level.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng still had his ¡®Archery God¡¯s Left Eye technique¡¯, which caused his moves to be extremely mysterious.


    The arrows that Zhao Feng shot would often turn in midair and even trick the eye, going into blind spots corners and flaws.


    Qiu-- Qiu-- Qiu---


    What was more terrifying was that after the arrows were shot, they would instantly return to the Luohou Bow since they were like mother and son.


    Arcs of lightning and coldness washed wave after wave onto Xu Zixuan. The latter was starting to regret looking down on Zhao Feng at the beginning.


    At this moment, the whole situation was controlled by Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to clash head on with Xu Zixuan and he was slowly grinding the latter. WIthout a doubt, the range of the Luohou Bow¡¯s attacks were further than Xu Zixuan¡¯s flying swords.


    It was barely manageable for those at the Ascended Realm to control flying swords and it was only because the material of the flying swords were unique that Xu Zixuan was able to control them.


    In terms of range, Zhao Feng¡¯s Luohou Bow could reach several miles and the arrows could reach the speed of sound.


    On the other hand, Xu Zixuan¡¯s flying swords were restricted to twenty or so yards. If they exceeded this range, the formation¡¯s power would decrease. Fifty yards was his limit.


    Therefore, Xi Zixuan could only defend. But the coldness and lightning of the Luohou Bow would decrease his speed by half.


    Xu Zixuan had to expend his True Force every second to fight against the erosion of coldness and lightning.


    Beng~~ Sou-- Sou--


    The offense from the Luohou Bow became more and more fierce. Every Luohou Arrow could block a flying sword and return quickly to the bow to ¡®restore its energy¡¯. The power and speed of each and every arrow would reach its peak.


    Xu Zixuan¡¯s three flying swords surround his body and they blocked Zhao Feng¡¯s deadly archery skills with ¡®ding ding ding¡¯ sounds.


    But this way, the energy that he expended was very great since he had to control the Three Sword Formation and fight against the erosion of lightning and coldness at the same time.


    Under the sustained erosion of lightning and ice, his body would be injured and he could be left with ¡®hidden injuries¡¯.


    Xu Zixuan was crying bitterly in his heart, but there was no way to retreat from this situation.


    The Three Sword Formation was one of his moves that required his full power. Once he gave up the Sword Formation, he wouldn¡¯t be able to block Zhao Feng¡¯s archery skills.


    The spectators had their jaws dropped to the ground and had their eyes popping.


    They had never seen such a troublesome and nasty archery skill.


    By using the distance advantage of the Luohou Bow, Zhao Feng was using his grinding tactic to its fullest.


    Xu Zixuan¡¯s three flying swords were forced to defend and even if he wanted to attack, he couldn¡¯t because the distance was too great.


    Spectator stand, True Mystic Clan.


    ¡°Aye.¡±


    The True Mystic Clan Master sighed: ¡°Zixuan was too overbearing and this resulted him in being forced into this situation.¡±


    ¡°The elements in that brat¡¯s archery skills are extremely troublesome, rendering his opponent immobile and once the distance is stretched out, the advantage of the flying swords is nulled.¡±


    The True Mystic Clan Master also sighed bitterly.


    In terms of fighting head on, Xu Zixuan was the best apart from Cang Yuyue, but he had been blocked by Zhao Feng¡¯s shameless battle tactic.¡±


    ¡°The victory is not certain yet. After all, Zixuan¡¯s cultivation is at the 7th Sky and he has a pure as well as large supply of True Force. If he defends well, maybe that brat will be tired out first.¡± An Elder suggested.


    Area 3.


    The battle between Zhao Feng and Xu Zixuan reached a red hot stage.


    Xu Zixuan was suppressed and he was forced to defend. But the advantage of his flying swords having the ability to go on offense and defense was shown here.


    ¡°As long as I last a bit longer that brat will be tired out.¡± Xu Zixuan said in his heart.


    However, the ice attribute came from the Luohou Bow itself and the lightning effect came from the Lightning Inheritance, so Zhao Feng¡¯s use of energy wasn¡¯t great. It came mainly from the Luohou Bow.


    But on the other hand, Xu Zixuan required a lot of energy to form the Three Sword Formation.


    ¡°If this continues, I have at least a 70% chance of winning, but¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes became sharp as he stealthily merged part of his bloodline power into the Luohou Bow.


    Beng~~~ Sou--- Sou---


    The streak of light from the arrow had exceeded the speed of sound and they had reached a new level.


    Ding Ding Peng--------


    Sparks flew everywhere as the two clashed and lightning and ice flew in every direction, which caused Xu Zixuan¡¯s expression to change and he retreat quickly.


    But before he could take a breath, the third Luohou arrow had broken the sound barrier and it sent out a wave of mental energy.


    Booom!


    Xu Zixuan only heard an explosion sound and a destructive lightning bolt charge into his mind.


    ¡°Not good, that attack contained ¡®mental energy¡¯.


    Xu Zixuan¡¯s heart shook as he recovered quickly with a pale face.


    ¡°Too late.¡±


    The third Luohou arrow shot through a crack in the Three Sword Formation and it caused sparks to fly as it hit the sword net and then pierced Xu Zixuan¡¯s shoulder.


    Boom-----


    Xu Zixuan was pushed back several yards by the arrow and he dyed the arrow with blood.


    At the same time, a strong surge of lightning and coldness eroded his body, causing him to stiffen.


    ¡°You¡¯ve lost.¡±


    Zhao Feng gripped the Luohou Bow and he landed on the ground as his three arrows returned.


    At the moment, Xu Zixuan was deeply affected by the lightning and coldness. If Zhao Feng continued, the former would be unable to resist.


    ¡°Zhao Feng wins!¡±


    The True Spirit Realm judge at Area 3 gave Zhao Feng a weird look.


    Hua!


    The entire crowd was shaken as their eyes all landed on Zhao Feng with shock and curiosity.


    In the Iron Dragon Country¡¯s spectator stand.


    ¡°He first changed tactics, then he suppressed the opponent before winning by using the opponent¡¯s flaws¡­ That kid isn¡¯t simple.¡± One of them exclaimed.


    The others all nodded faintly as they felt surprised by the way that Zhao Feng had won.


    ¡°The true deciding moment was the burst of bloodline power. And it wasn¡¯t just any normal bloodline power.¡± A cold, clear voice came from the mysterious person.


    Everyone from the Iron Dragon Country was surprised, but they obviously had no doubts to his words.


    The Broken Moon Clan¡¯s side.


    ¡°He Won! Feng¡¯er won!¡±


    First Elder couldn¡¯t contain the excitement in his heart. The Broken Moon Clan Master also laughed. Only Hai Yun Master had an unnatural smile.


    Area 3.


    Zhao Feng put the Luohou Bow away and he slowly walked off the stage.


    At this moment, his every action caught the crowd¡¯s attention.


    A new star of the Thirteen Clans was thus born.


    Wherever his eyes went, the disciples in Area 3 would lower their head uneasily. This was especially so for Gu Lanyue, whose face went green and red as she was scared to look at Zhao Feng.


    When Zhao Feng beat Xu Zixuan, the Ao Yuetian¡¯s expression changed


    ¡°This¡­ How is that possible¡­ ?¡±


    Ao Yuetian had a colourful expression and his voice was unnatural, like he couldn¡¯t accept this reality. He was thinking back to how he was too disdainful to even glance at Zhao Feng back at the Three Clan Party.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng had beaten Xu Zixuan, who was even ranked higher than himself.


    By beating Xu Zixuan, it meant that Zhao Feng had become a new Star and he had at least the same power as Ao Yuetian.


    ¡°Nothing for him is unusual.¡± Zhao Yufei smiled and said sweetly, like she wasn¡¯t at all surprised by this result.


    DIscussion continued amongst the crowd. No one would think that the darkest horse was so heaven-defying and walked down a path of miracles to become on par with the Four Stars.


    But there were also two people that were very calm: Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong.


    Although Xu Zixuan might be strong, he couldn¡¯t fight even Cang Yuyue¡¯s one sword or Lin Tong¡¯s one glance.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I lost this time because of arrogance. When we fight later, I won¡¯t hold back anything.¡± Xu Zixuan suppressed the pain of his injuries and said unwillingly.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even look at him.


    Zhao Feng then proceeded to claim first in Area 3 without any defeats.

 230 Finals

    After several rounds of more fighting, the battles in Area 3 came to an end.


    The rankings in Area 3 were:


    First: Zhao Feng


    Second: Xu Zixuan


    Third: Gu Lanyue


    Zhao Feng was the darkest horse who had walked down a path of miracles and became a Star.


    At the same moment, the preliminaries of the other Areas had either ended or were coming to an end.


    According to the rules of the Alliance Banquet, every Area would select 3 geniuses to enter the finals.


    The finals would be carved into history and it would decide their destiny.


    Those that reached the top 10 would receive plentiful rewards and the top three had the chance to enter the Origin Core Ruins.


    First place would receive the biggest prize, the ¡®Shedding Spiritual Pill¡¯.


    ¡°My cultivation is at the peak of the 5th Sky right now and after reaching the 6th Sky, I can eat that pill allowing me to immediately reach the 7th Sky.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were decisive as he clenched his fists.


    Furthermore, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could give him breakthroughs if he was to enter the Origin Core Ruins.


    This meant that if Zhao Feng came first, his cultivation and strength would increase dramatically.


    At the same time.


    A battle from Area 1 attracted the attention of many.


    Cang Yuyue vs Bei Moi.


    The latter was also a dark horse.


    Jiang!


    A red light flashed through the air like it was opening the heavens. At that instant, everyone felt like their hearts had been stabbed.


    Field of Dark Water.


    A dark blue ripple appeared around Bei Moi, forming a defensive barrier as endless as an ocean.


    At the same time, a green/gold light that spread from his Green and Gold Shirt swirled around his body.


    Shua!


    At the instant that the Field of Dark Water was condensed, a pair of wings appeared on Bei Moi¡¯s back, which allowed him to shoot lightning quick towards Cang Yuye.


    However, no one could block Cang Yuyue¡¯s offense.


    With a ¡®craaack¡¯, Bei Moi¡¯s strongest defense, the ¡®Field of Dark Water¡¯ was instantly shattered and it caused blood to leak from the latter¡¯s mouth.


    A bitter smile appeared on Bei Moi¡¯s lips. His Field of Dark Water was able to block several attacks from cultivators at the 7th Sky, but it had been instantly slashed apart by Cang Yuyue¡¯s one sword.


    Luckily, he had his Green and Gold Shirt, which was an Inheritance Item which not only increased his defense, it also his speed, allowing him to propel towards Cang Yuyue.


    Ten yards¡­ eight yards¡­ Five yards¡­


    Since the beginning of the Alliance Banquet, no one had ever come so close to Cang Yuyue.


    This was also the first time that someone had successfully blocked one of Cang Yuyue¡¯s moves without being defeated.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s defense is so strong.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s expression changed slghtly.


    Compared to the strength that Bei Moi had at the Three Clan Party, he had improved at an unbelievable speed.


    Zhao Feng, Ao Yuetian and Xu Zixuan would all find it hard to break through his Field of Dark Water, but unfortunately, his opponent was Cang Yuyue, who had slashed it apart with just one sword.


    Dark Water - Reverse Dragon Strike!


    A large wave of water surged from Bei Moi and it wrapped around his arms, forming a whirlpool that smashed heavily towards Cang Yuyue.


    The power contained in this strike was shocking. Even Ao Yuetian had to admit that the difference between him and Bei Moi had been dramatically reduced. The latter was at the level that he was at the Three Clan party.


    Slaying the Clouds, Slashing through the Waves!


    Cang Yuyue paused slightly before slashing out her second sword, which instantly caused sounds of shattering.


    One could only see a white flash of light pierce into the sky, causing the defensive array to sway and even crack a little.


    ¡°Not good!¡± The True Spirit Realm judge exclaimed and he sent his energy into the array to stabilize it.


    It was hard to imagine just how powerful that sword was to reach that level.


    Plop.


    Bei Moi was already on the ground and a sword gash stretched from his forehead, over his nose, to his chest.


    Cang Yuyue was still clean and her eyes were still clear. With her one sword, she had crushed all of the geniuses of the Thirteen Clans under her feet.


    The geniuses of the same generation as her were shunned and sad at the thought of being crushed by a woman.


    ¡°This power of this sword is just¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take in a deep breath.


    His left eye started to analyse what his situation would be if he was to face that one sword.


    The result was instant defeat.


    Of course, Zhao Feng also knew Cang Yuyue¡¯s weakness. Being someone who focused on the Sword and the pinnacle of offense, her defense wouldn¡¯t be very good. But it wasn¡¯t just Zhao Feng who knew this, everyone also did.


    Cang Yuyue herself would also know this.


    But the problem was, who could block her sword?


    One sword breaking through ten thousand techniques.


    Every skill be be reduced to pieces by her.


    Cang Yuyue had gone easy on the last blow or else Bei Moi would now be in two halves.


    The placings from Area 1 also came out:


    First : Cang Yuyue.


    Second: Bei Moi


    Third: Liu Qianlong


    Cang Yuyue and Liu Qianlong were both from the Cloud Sword Clan and were cultivators of the Sword.


    It was already an incredible feat for Bei Moi to beat Liu Qianlong and this was linked to his powerful defense.


    Cultivators of the Sword would lose if they faced opponents with strong defense since they couldn¡¯t last long.


    After that, the placings from Area 2 came out:


    First: Lin Tong


    Second: Zhao Yufei


    Third: Yan Chuan


    Yan Chuan was also a dark horse that had beat Yang Gan, but he had ultimately lost to Zhao Yufei.


    The finals result from Area 4.


    First: Ao Yuetian.


    Both the second and third place rankers were cultivators that had reached the top ten in the last Banquet, coming from the Cloud Sword Clan and Ancient Shrine respectively.


    Now, the preliminaries had ended and all the representing disciples were allowed to rest for one night to prepare for the finals tomorrow.


    The finals was also the point of writing history. Even the disciples that had lost weren¡¯t willing to miss it.


    Next, the Thirteen Clans analysed the number of disciples that had reached the finals:


    1. Cloud Sword Clan


    2. Ancient Shrine


    3. Broken Moon Clan


    4. Lin Moon Clan


    These four Clan took up a large proportions of the disciples participating in the finals.


    The Jade Secluded Palace and True Mystic Clan both only had one participating each.


    The Cloud Sword Clan was indeed worthy of being the top Clan of the Thirteen Clans and it took up the most spots.


    But compared to previous Banquet¡¯s rankings, the Cloud Sword Clan and Ancient Shrine had less than normal.


    This was because there were just too many dark horses this time.


    Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, Bei Moi and Yan Chuan were all really un-famous people and the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s performance was shocking.


    This Clan that was originally at the bottom of the Thirteen Clans and now, it had two people entering the finals and one of them had even taken Xu Zixuan¡¯s spot in becoming one of the Stars.


    The faces of everyone from the Broken Moon Clan was red.


    The Alliance Banquet not only concerned each Clan¡¯s glory, it also attributed to how much resources each Clan got.


    In the past, the Broken Moon Clan could only rely on luck to have one person entering the finals.


    At least in the past few times, no one had been able to enter the finals.


    The majority of the places were taken up by the Cloud Sword Clan and Ancient Shrine. The other Clans found it even hard to get one, which made it even harder for the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°We¡¯ve broken the norm for the first time in the past couple hundred years. It could be said that there are our true elites.¡± A few of the older generation said.


    The geniuses participating in the finals came from several Clans and not one Clan had ever taken all the spots before.


    The second morning.


    The finals officially started.


    The disciples participating had refreshed themselves and they had reached their peak states.


    The four Areas were combined into one massive area - the finals area.


    The boundaries was greatly increased.


    The twelve prodigies sat in respective positions in front of the final area, while the spectators were a bit further away.


    The once every ten years Alliance Banquet had entered the last stage and it would enter the records of history and attract many spectators.


    The countries nearby and the Thirteen Clans all had people here.


    Although the amount of spectators wasn¡¯t enormous, everyone present were elites of the younger or older generation.


    ¡°The first battle: Cang Yuyue vs Qi Jiu.¡±


    One of the four judges, who were in each, corner announced.


    ¡°I admit defeat.¡±


    The youth named Qi Jiu smiled bitterly and he gave up. He came from the same Clan as Cang Yuyue.


    The second battle.


    ¡°Lin Tong vs Bei Moi.¡±


    Lin Tong who was clothed in black and Bei Moi in green and gold walked onto the arena and they stood a hundred yards apart.


    Bei Moi wasn¡¯t someone to admit defeat easily and a pair of green wings extended out from the green gold shirt as a whirlpool formed in his arm that lashed out at Lin Tong.


    ¡°Heavenly Absent Eyes.¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s eyes became dark and they seemed to turn into an abyss with a red light in the middle that seemed to suck in one¡¯s soul.


    At this moment, Lin Tong was like the lord of hell as he glanced coldly at Bei Moi.


    Plop.


    Bei Moi fell onto the ground soaked in cold sweat with fear written on his face: ¡°How is this possible¡­ ?¡±


    He could at least block Cang Yuyue¡¯s first sword, but facing Lin Tong, who used his Heavenly Absent Eyes straight away, he was defeated with just one glance.


    Every time Lin Tong attacked, everyone would be moved.


    Both Xu Zixuan and Ao Yuetian had deep wary in their eyes. Even someone as strong as Cang Yuyue had their expression change.


    There were two people that couldn¡¯t be beaten in the Alliance Banquet - Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong. One would either be defeated in one sword or with one glance.


    ¡°Zhao Feng vs Yan Chuan.¡±


    It was soon Zhao Feng¡¯s turn.


    It wasn¡¯t hard for everyone to realise that the people who were stronger came up first.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ let me see how much weight a Star can actually pull.¡± Yan Chuan laughed loudly as a gold and bronze light enveloped his body.


    Immediately after that, a flaming symbol appeared.


    Of the Four Stars, he only feared and respected Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong. As for Xu Zixuan and Ao Yuetian, he was also wary of them.


    But to Zhao Feng, a new Star, he wasn¡¯t.

 231 Bloodline Battle

    From Yan Chuan¡¯s point of view, Zhao Feng had relied heavily on luck to defeat Xu Zixuan.


    As long as he wasn¡¯t going easy or looking down on the opponent, he believed that even if he couldn¡¯t beat Zhao Feng, he still wouldn¡¯t lose that fast.


    Therefore, Yan Chuan didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng was so incredulous and was worthy of the title of a Star.


    ¡°Brother Zhao be careful. That guy¡¯s body strengthening technique and defense has reached an astounding level¡­ ¡± Yang Gan warned Zhao Feng.


    Yang Gan had lost to Yan Chuan before.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and he walked onto the arena.


    Start!


    At the second that the judge¡¯s voice sounded, Yan Chuan was like a golden warrior as he charged at Zhao Feng.


    The latter could feel the unbelievable strength that Yan Chuan¡¯s physical body contained. Even an elephant would be smashed to death by him.


    In terms of body strengthening, there was probably no one who could defeat him amongst the younger generation in the Alliance Banquet.


    Just as Yan Chuan was gaining momentum, the fire emblem became even brighter, turning him into a fireball.


    Zhao Feng felt his breathing rate and blood flow become slightly affected and this came from the natural reaction due to the difference in body strength.


    However, overall strength didn¡¯t depend just on one¡¯s physical body or else Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong would be shunned to the side by Yan Chuan.


    ¡°Oh my god!¡±


    From below the arena came exclamations. Yan Chuan had gathered all his power and he was about to hit Zhao Feng. But the latter wasn¡¯t even moving.


    Could it be that he¡¯s going to use his body to take this hit head on?


    Without using True Force, even the Four Stars wouldn¡¯t be able to do this.


    A smile of mockery appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips as a wave of mental energy surged through the air.


    Boom-----


    Yan Chuan was like a fireball that smashed a hole in the ground in front of Zhao Feng. The black sandstone, which was comparable to Mortal weapons, was shattered and the pieces flew everywhere.


    Inside the hole, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t move at all and his azure hair blew in the air. None of the dust nearby could come close to his body.


    On the other hand, Yan Chuan had sunk into the black sand and streaks of fresh blood had appeared on his body. His enormous figure was still trembling and struggling but the more he did so, the deeper he sunk.


    ¡°What¡­ what¡¯s going on?¡±


    The spectators were stunned.


    What was wrong with Yan Chuan? Zhao Feng was just standing there and he didn¡¯t move at all. Instead of hitting him, Yan Chuan ¡®tried to suicide¡¯ instead.


    One had to know that this black sand stage was as strong as a Low grade Mortal weapon.


    And Yan Chuan was using his head to hit it?


    ¡°Mental energy technique.¡± A disciple from the Ancient Shrine said.


    Mental energy technique.


    These mysterious and powerful words appeared in everyone¡¯s mind.


    At this moment, Lin Tong¡¯s eyes focused slightly as he looked at the battle in the arena.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even need to move at all and he had caused Yan Chuan to try and suicide.


    When the latter had recovered, he was already bleeding heavily. Although his body was physically strong, he would still be injured if he used himself to hit himself, especially when it was with all his power.


    ¡°You¡¯ve lost.¡±


    Zhao Feng raised his foot and stepped on Yan Chuan¡¯s head, which had just popped out.


    Dong.


    Yan Chuan spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.


    ¡°Zhao Feng wins!¡±


    The judge looked weirdly at Zhao Feng.


    Only till the latter stepped off the arena did the spectators understand what had happened. When they did so, they all took in cold breaths.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng was even more mysterious and powerful in their eyes.


    For close combat, he had his Lightning Wind Palm and for long-distance, he had his Luohou Bow as well as his mental energy techniques.


    And each and every one of them were very strong.


    After Zhao Feng went off the arena, Ao Yuetian stepped up.


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s opponent was Qi Jiu, whose sword techniques was only lower than Cang Yuyue¡¯s.


    Under normal circumstances, Ao Yuetian would have to try a bit to beat Qi Jiu.


    ¡°Moon God War Body.¡±


    A silver light condensed around Ao Yuetian, which made the latter change completely.


    Shua!


    In the next instant, Ao Yuetian had become moonlight as hit Qi Jiu in the blink of an eye.


    Those that were able to enter the finals weren''t weak. Qi Jiu slashed his sword as fast as lightning, which grinded everything in a few yards radius into powder.


    Craaaack-----


    Qi Jiu only felt a surge of unblockable power hit him and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.


    The spectators broke out into discussion.


    Qi Jiu¡¯s sword had hit Ao Yuetian¡¯s body, but it was blocked by the silver light around Ao Yuetian and the latter was unharmed.


    One had to know because Qi Jiu cultivated the sword, his strike just then could threaten those at the 7th Sky, but it had been ignored by Ao Yuetian.


    ¡°In terms of defense, Ao Yuetian was only stronger than Bei Moi and his offense and speed far surpasses the latter.¡± Zhao Feng analysed.


    To be able to claim the title of Star, Ao Yuetian did indeed have the power.


    Like this, the new Four Stars had fought their first battles. They had instantly defeated their opponents in just one move and they stood at a higher level than the others.


    The battles continued one after another.


    According to the rules, everyone needed to fight eleven battles. This also meant that everyone would fight everyone and the person with the most wins would be ranked first.


    If someone won all eleven matches, they would be first.


    Of course, it was also possible for someone to come first by winning just ten matches because some of the opponents might perfectly counter you.


    The first round of matches soon came to an end and the Four Stars all won easily.


    Half a day later, the second round of matches began.


    The situation in the second round of matches changed and the Stars had the possibility to fight one another.


    But this time, the Four Stars didn¡¯t meet each other.


    However, Cang Yuyue and Xu Zixuan met.


    Xu Zixuan pushed his Three Sword Formation to the max, but he was only able to block two moves and was defeated by the third.


    But even then this was the record so far. Cang Yuyue had used three strikes against him, whereas only two was used against Bei Moi.


    In the second match, Zhao Feng¡¯s opponent was Gu Lanyue.


    ¡°I admit defeat.¡± Gu Lanyue smiled bitterly and surrendered.


    How could she know that Zhao Feng had gone easy on her in the first battle and was ¡®kind¡¯ to her?


    There was an exciting battle in the second round and it was between Ao Yuetian and Zhao Yufei.


    Everyone thought that because Zhao Yufei and Ao Yuetian came from the same Clan, the former would surrender. But Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t.


    Instead of getting angry, Ao Yuetian was happy. When you¡¯re defeated by me straight on, you¡¯ll understand the difference between us.


    ¡°Moon God¡¯s War Body.¡±


    Ao Yuetian used his famous skill and he didn¡¯t go easy.


    This was because:


    1. He had the chance to win her heart and Zhao Yufei would praise or even admire him, just like she was with Zhao Feng.


    2. The rewards for the top 3 attributed to one¡¯s destiny and Ao Yuetian wouldn¡¯t move out of the way for this.


    ¡°Sorry about this Brother Ao.¡±


    Zhao Yufei smiled faintly as a faint green True Force appeared on her skin that was as perfect as crystal.


    From afar, it seemed that Zhao Yufei¡¯s skin wasn¡¯t made out of blood and bone but a crystal carving, giving everyone an illusion of her being a goddess.


    Peng---


    A green lotus condensed from the light appeared on Zhao Yufei hand, which blocked Ao Yuetian¡¯s attack.


    In terms of strength, there was still some difference between the two, so Zhao Yufei was pushed back but she flipped in the air like a goddess before attacking.


    The spectating stage of the Iron Dragon Country.


    ¡°Such a unique bloodline. Although it¡¯s very faint, it can make True Force very pure, like it was part of one¡¯s own body. Unbelievable¡­ ¡± The figure in black said deeply.


    ¡°The increase in offense isn¡¯t much, but the bonding between blood and bones with True Force is incredible. This bloodline should be able to increase one¡¯s cultivation speed, but unfortunately it¡¯s too faint.¡± Another sighed.


    The Iron Dragon Country was one of the most powerful countries in the Northern Continent. It had more land and resources and the factions that they had surpassed the Thirteen Clans.


    ¡°Hehe, Yufei, no wonder you¡¯re Changeable Body¡¯s talent is so high. So you had a bloodline in you.¡±


    Ao Yuetian fought confidently.


    In the short span of battle, the two were on par. But Ao Yuetian could see Zhao Yufei bloodline didn¡¯t affect battle strength much.


    Moon God Shadow.


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s figure instantly moved like the moonlight, freely and fast.


    His offense and power both increased significantly. Of course, the major increase was still in speed.


    ¡°He used his bloodline power.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his left eye and he found that a transparent silver light had appeared in Ao Yuetian¡¯s blood.


    He could trace Ao Yuetian¡¯s bloodline power, while Zhao Yufei¡¯s bloodline power was slightly more unique. Zhao Feng found that it was more beautiful and allowed one¡¯s body to merge with True Force.


    ¡°Yufei¡¯s bloodline is extremely unique. Although it isn¡¯t strong, it seems to be going through the process of awakening like how mine had.¡± Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    At the same time, the battle between the two had reached an incredulous level.


    This match depended on bloodline.


    ¡°That is the legendary bloodline power, which is apparently even more precious than Peak tier Spiritual Bodies.¡±


    The spectators sighed and were envious.


    Bloodlines were extremely rare, but one thing could be confirmed. Those that had bloodlines had far more advantages than those who didn¡¯t.


    Of the Four Stars, both Lin Tong and Ao Yuetian had bloodline powers.


    Now there was another, Zhao Yufei, who could resist against Ao Yuetian in a short period of time.


    Of course, Zhao Feng also had a bloodline power, but because he had only used it stealthily once, only those from the Iron Dragon Country had seen something.


    Zhao Feng had specifically looked through bloodline powers in the records in the Clan.


    Bloodline powers were like Inheritances, but they were passed through ¡®genes¡¯.


    If size, appearance and even smartness could be passed down through generations, then these ¡®special powers¡¯ could also be passed down.


    If someone had a bloodline power, it meant that one of their ancestors was extremely powerful.


    But no one knew exactly how strong one needed to be for their children to gain this bloodline power.


    According to the records that Zhao Feng had flipped through, one needed to at least reach the Void God Realm or higher for their children to gain their bloodline power. Even those at the Origin Core Realm couldn¡¯t do so.

 232 Clash of New Stars

    The seven realms known to the world were: Consolidated Realm, Ascended Realm, True Spirit Realm, Origin Core Realm, Void God Realm, Mystic Light Realm and Heavenly Divine Realm.


    When one reached the Void God Realm or higher, their descendants had the ability to inherit a bloodline power.


    Apparently, if someone reached the Heavenly Divine Realm and was recognised by the heavens and earth, almost all of their descendants would receive a bloodline power. The only difference was how strong the bloodline would be and the time of awakening.


    But the highest realm present in this continent was only the Origin Core Realm.


    In the past ten thousand years, only the Scarlet Moon Patriarch had the chance to reach the Void God Realm.


    ¡°It looks like people with bloodline powers have a very long history and the concentration of bloodline has become fainter and fainter due to the passing of time. The chances of awakening is also lower.¡± Zhao Feng analysed and he realised that the history of bloodlines wasn¡¯t simple.


    It could be said that people with bloodline powers were esteemed sons or daughters of Heaven that were protected and granted fortune by their ancestors.


    Of course.


    Zhao Feng also had a bloodline power, but it didn¡¯t come from his ancestors. The way he had gained a bloodline was totally unheard of.


    The finals arena.


    The two prodigies that had bloodline powers fought an intense fight and exploded strength that had surpassed the limits of their current cultivation.


    At this moment in time, Ao Yuetian¡¯s battle power was completely comparable to someone at the half-step True Spirit Realm and all his aspects, offense, defense and movement were considered to be perfect.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s advantage came from the compatibility rate between her True Force and flesh. This made her True Force purer than others and the force of it was 1.5 times more powerful than others.


    Her bones would become transparent and sparkle when her True Force merged with them. This allowed her body to sway swiftly in the air like an elf and although she wasn¡¯t as quick as Ao Yuetian, she was far more agile.


    But after forty to fifty moves, Zhao Yufei was eventually defeated.


    ¡°The difference between Zhao Yufei and Ao Yuetian is the former¡¯s lack of cultivation and skill. Plus her bloodline power doesn¡¯t increase her combat power much.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised at all - this was well within his expectations.


    ¡°Thanks Yufei.¡± Ao Yuetian revealed a warm smile and retained a noble posture.


    He had attained his goal - to beat Zhao Yufei fair and square, making her obedient towards him and maybe even rely on him in the future.


    After all, most woman liked powerful men since there was a more safe feeling.


    However, when Zhao Yufei lost, she was calm and she didn¡¯t seem to be affected.


    Why is it like this?


    Ao Yuetian was angry and he was in a bad mood.


    Although Zhao Yufei had lost, she didn¡¯t even respect him, so how could there be admiration and reliance?


    ¡°I beat her the same way Zhao Feng did, but Zhao Yufei admires the latter and not me¡­ It looks like the first person has greater importance.¡±


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s twinkled as he seemed to understand this.


    It was because Zhao Feng had known Zhao Yufei before him and this happened in their childhood.


    At that time, the girl¡¯s perspective of life hadn¡¯t solidified yet and it was easy for them to have feelings of admiration and reliance.


    But now, Zhao Yufei had grown up and her heart was solid. It wouldn¡¯t be easy to move her the same way as before.


    ¡°It¡¯s not like there aren¡¯t any solutions. If I can beat Zhao Feng, I can replace his position in Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart.¡±


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s cold expression was replaced by a warm smile as he found the solution.


    The solution was Zhao Feng.


    Although the latter was one of the Four Stars, the same as him, Ao Yuetian had complete confidence. His bloodline power was stronger than before and his mastery of his Moon God War was better.


    Ao Yuetian had watched the battle between Zhao Feng and Xu Zixuan.


    The reason why Xu Zixuan lost was because he was overconfident at the beginning and he was perfectly countered by Zhao Feng¡¯s Luohou Bow.


    In Ao Yuetian¡¯s heart, Zhao Feng was considered to be a Star, but there was still a great difference between him, Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong.


    The finals arena.


    The second round of matches had ended.


    Apart from the Four Stars, the remaining geniuses had their own respective wins and losses.


    The spectators around the arena were very expectant of the battles between the Four Stars.


    The third round.


    Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong both went up and they instantly defeated their respective opponents.


    It was then Zhao Feng¡¯s turn.


    ¡°Zhao Feng vs Ao Yuetian.¡± A clear voice announced.


    Hua!


    The spectators and disciples couldn¡¯t contain their excitement.


    It was finally a clash between the Stars.


    ¡°Great!¡± Ao Yuetian laughed in his heart.


    Whatever he wanted, came. It looks like even the Heavens listened to his prayers.


    Of the Four Stars, the one he wanted to battle the most was Zhao Feng.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s and Lin Tong¡¯s strengths were too terrifying and he didn¡¯t have any confidence in beating them. But Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was similar to his and as long as he won, he could replace Zhao Feng¡¯s position in his goddess¡¯ heart.


    He must win this battle.


    Ao Yuetian released limitless battle intent. This battle affected his overall score on the Alliance Banquet, it affected whether or not he could get the heart of the girl in his dreams, and it affected his destiny.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng stepped onto the arena expressionlessly.


    ¡°This is a good chance¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng calmly stared at Ao Yuetian with twinkling eyes.


    What the heck was Zhao Feng planning?


    Ao Yuetian had the feeling that he was being calculated against, but he was absolute confident in his bloodline power and Moon God War.


    In terms of offense, defense and speed, he was considered to be perfect and had no weaknesses.


    Furthermore, his cultivation had reached the 7th Sky and had a bloodline power while Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t even at the 6th Sky and had no bloodline. How was the latter supposed to fight him?


    If he couldn¡¯t even win this battle, he could just find a block of tofu and kill himself by hitting his head on it.


    ¡°Start.¡± The judge at the True Spirit Realm announced.


    Ao Yuetian didn¡¯t immediately make a move and he started to circulate his bloodline power instead.


    Moon God War Body.


    A silver light formed around Ao Yuetian and his aura rose rapidly, enough to crush normal cultivators at the 5th Sky without resistance.


    Lightning Wind Palm!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was surrounded with arcs of lightning as he charged at Ao Yuetian.


    Was this guy crazy?


    Ao Yuetian jumped in fright - it seemed like Zhao Feng was coming to rip him into shreds.


    ¡°Moon God¡¯s Palm.¡±


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s right hand released a bright ray of silver moonlight which formed into the shape of a sword before clashing with Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wind Palm.


    Peng----


    Amidst the crackle of thunder, the two terrifying forces of energy exploded.


    Ao Yuetian felt his wrist and body become slightly numb.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng was forced back several yards.


    Under the head on clash, Ao Yuetian¡¯s perfect offense and defense showed its prowess.


    ¡°Dance of Wind and Lightning!¡± Zhao Feng lightly exclaimed as arcs of lightning flashed at Ao Yuetian like a storm.


    This time, Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Inheritance was fully used and the mastery of the Lightning Wind Palm was close to the peak 6th level.


    ¡°Such strong lightning!¡±


    Ao Yuetian only felt the air become infested with a destructive aura. He circulated his bloodline power to condense the silver light around him and the arcs of lightning quickly disappeared when it came close to Ao Yuetian.


    In terms of defense, Ao Yuetian was even stronger than Xu Zixuan.


    Boooom!


    In the second exchange, Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was pushed back a few steps, while Ao Yuetian only shook slightly.


    ¡°Hahaha, with your strength, why don¡¯t you just admit defeat?¡± Ao Yuetian laughed loudly as his air of supremacy reached the heavens.


    Up to now, he had only used 50-60% of his bloodline power and he could easily block Zhao Feng¡¯s chaotic attacks while gaining the slight upper hand at the same time.


    Ao Yuetian analysed that Zhao Feng¡¯s forte was offense and that his mental energy techniques, Lightning Wind Palm and Luohou Bow were so and so.


    Therefore, he only needed to continue the current situation and defend. Winning was just a matter of time.


    Tai!


    Zhao Feng suddenly shouted and a flash of light charged into Ao Yuetian¡¯s mind. The latter¡¯s blood boiled and the Moon God War Body rippled.


    ¡°It¡¯s useless. The Moon God War Body has great resistance against all types of attacks.¡±


    Ao Yuetian turned into the moonlight as he started to fight back.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s sudden mental energy sound attack had little effect due to Ao Yuetian¡¯s Moon God War Body.


    Illusion Fish Lightning Arc Step.


    From the air came the humming of thunder and Zhao Feng became quick and mysterious. The Yin Shadow Cloak on his back occasionally flapped and it turned him into a dark blur.


    Instantly, two insanely quick figures started an exchange of stunning blows.


    The spectators around the arena had their jaws open.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s and Ao Yuetian¡¯s movements had reached the pinnacle - even Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong had to sigh.


    ¡°In terms of speed, Zhao Feng is on par with Brother Ao especially when he uses the mysterious cloak. And in terms of insights, Zhao Feng has the upper hand.¡± Zhao Yufei thought.


    The Lightning Inheritance increased one¡¯s speed greatly and Ao Yuetian¡¯s Moon God Shadow and bloodline power let him merge into the moonlight.


    But Zhao Feng had the Yin Shadow Cloak, which also required a small amount of bloodline power to activate it.


    Overall, Zhao Feng had the advantage in speed, but Ao Yuetian had the advantage in defense.


    At this point in time the battle between the two Stars was even.


    The two figures fought up high and down low, constantly moving.


    Luckily, they were in the finals arena which was several miles large, enough for the two to move around. A normal battleground would probably been turned into a ruins by now.


    ¡°Has Zhao Feng gone crazy? He¡¯s getting more ferocious by the second.¡±


    Ao Yuetian was shocked in his heart.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any tactic at all and he kept on clashing head on every time. One had to know under direct clashes, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t gain the upper hand at all, on the contrary, he was losing.


    And Ao Yuetian¡¯s Moon God War Body¡¯s defense was very strong and unbeatable.


    And although Zhao Feng had been slightly internally injured by this, he kept on clashing head on. Although he was injured, his offense and energy kept rising.


    ¡°Does Zhao Feng not want his life?¡± The disciples around exclaimed.


    ¡°Hehe, so that¡¯s why.¡± The black figure from the Iron Dragon Country laughed lightly.

 233 Three Forces

    Zhao Feng¡¯s crazy and ferocious fighting style left the spectators curious.


    Does this guy really not care about his life?


    The elite participating disciples all glanced at each other.


    Under the direct clashes Zhao Feng became lightly injured. If it wasn¡¯t because of his movement and agility, he would have already been seriously injured and defeated.


    Ao Yuetian was surprised but happy - this situation was good for him.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s forte was offense and his moves as well as agility made it troublesome. Luckily, all Zhao Feng did was exchange moves head on and since his forte was offense, this couldn¡¯t continue for long.


    ¡°I am at a higher cultivation level than you and in terms of talent, I have a bloodline. In another two hundred moves, you¡¯ll definitely expend all your energy¡­ ¡± Ao Yuetian laughed coldly in his heart.


    It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want to end this fast, it was just that the insane guy in front of him was acting ferociously and if he did so, he would have to pay a huge price.


    Therefore, he defended and only occasionally counter-attacked, waiting for Zhao Feng to deplete his energy and then he would take him down.


    This was the most stable and efficient option.


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s eyes sparkled as he thought about this.


    However, when he thought so, his momentum dropped.


    Zhao Feng became more and more ferocious. His battle intent surged and his blood seemed to boil, pushing his state to its peak.


    From within Zhao Feng¡¯s body came the hum of thunder. His momentum, battle intent as well as his aura all rose.


    After one hundred or so moves, Zhao Feng¡¯s face was flushed red and a power within him was being slowly released.


    Finally, Ao Yuetian felt that something was wrong.


    In a normal situation, Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks should be getting weaker after a hundred moves, but it was getting stronger.


    What was wrong?


    Ao Yuetian felt the pressure increase. Zhao Feng¡¯s aura had reached a peak and it was like a volcano that was about to erupt.


    ¡°The limit of the 5th Sky¡­ just a little bit more¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and he squeezed out the potential from every corner of his body. Zhao Feng had eaten a lot of Spiritual pills and treasures after the Floating Crest Trial.


    There was still a bit of power from the mysterious liquid that he had drank at the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground that hadn¡¯t been used yet.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s True Force and blood was at a boiling point. His bloodline power protected his organs and acupuncture points, forming a shield.


    It was because of this, Zhao Feng was able to become so crazed without being heavily injured.


    ¡°Brother Ao, that guy wants to break through right now!¡± Someone exclaimed from below and warned Ao Yuetian.


    What!?


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s face lost all colour as he was warned. He realised that Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was calm and cold, even though he was fighting ferociously. It was clear that the latter hadn¡¯t lost his mind.


    This Zhao Feng¡­ was using him as a sharpening stone?


    After knowing the truth, a flame of rage engulfed Ao Yuetian¡¯s chest.


    The spectators below all took in cold breaths. Most of them had only seen Zhao Feng¡¯s crazed side, but had they seen his calculations?


    Moon God Palm!


    Ao Yuetian exploded and he fully opened his bloodline power. His attack, defense and movement all increased dramatically. Zhao Feng felt Ao Yuetian¡¯s strength suddenly rise and his True Force was somewhat suppressed.


    Bloodlines came from ancestors that had at least reached the Void God Realm, and they would suppress other powers.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I won¡¯t let it happen.¡±


    Ao Yuetian used 200% percent of his bloodline power, which even gave off a faint aura of an Emperor. The momentum that Zhao Feng had finally gained was finally suppressed.


    ¡°Could it be that I¡¯m going to fail?¡±


    Zhao Feng was unwilling.


    He just needed a bit more to breakthrough.


    But unfortunately, his opponent wasn¡¯t dumb and he definitely wouldn¡¯t allow him to breakthrough.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­ Then it all ends here.¡±


    The bloodline power that had been suppressed in Zhao Feng¡¯s body was ignited by the faint emperor aura from Ao Yuetian.


    The power of the Ancient Gods was not to be looked down at.


    ¡°Wind and Lightning Destruction!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed and a layer of shining lightning appeared around him, forming a ¡®Lightning Chain¡¯.


    This Lightning Chain was like a volcano that was about to erupt.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s azure hair blew wildly as the lightning started to dance.


    At the same time, his eyebrows turned azure and a faint azure blood circulated around Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    The ancient aura intertwined with the destructive power of lightning and it formed into a powerful force.


    ¡°What!?¡±


    Ao Yuetian¡¯s True Force and blood was unable to move.


    The Zhao Feng in his sight had turned into a demonic god. The lightning from his palm could destroy the heavens.


    ¡°Bloodline power!¡±


    ¡°He also has a bloodline power!¡±


    The spectators exclaimed and some of the older generation even stood up.


    Teng!


    The Broken Moon Clan Master and several Elders all stood up and held their breaths.


    ¡°Hmm? This bloodline power is so pure and ancient¡­ ¡±


    From the Iron Dragon Country side came low murmurs.


    Peng¡­


    From the arena came a huge sound and then wave after wave of lightning.


    With Zhao Feng as the centre, the black sandstone around him had become dust and with the howl of winds, it was sent flying in every direction.


    The silver light around Ao Yuetian had become extremely bright as he retreated.


    Boom----


    On the spot, Zhao Feng stood at the centre of the large black hole and the azure blood disappeared. His eyebrows and other parts of his body all returned to normal.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and he was weak as he felt the emptiness inside his body. But at the same time, an aura full of life exploded in his body. Wisp after wisp of faint azure True Force with occasional sparks of lightning circulated around his body.


    ¡°He broke through!¡±


    Shouts of surprise came from the spectators.


    Many of them took a cold breath, but it was unknown whether it was because of Zhao Feng¡¯s strength or because of his breakthrough.


    Plop!


    Outside the arena, Ao Yuetian¡¯s rumpled figure fell on the ground and he left a scorch mark on the ground.


    ¡°Zhao Feng wins!¡±


    The judge finally reacted and he looked at Zhao Feng like he was a monster.


    At the moment this was announced, the spectators finally came back from their daze.


    ¡°What the hell happened? How did Zhao Feng suddenly become so strong and was able to send Ao Yuetian flying with one palm?¡±


    ¡°Bloodline power. I didn¡¯t think that this crazy guy also had bloodline power.¡±


    Exclamations and discussion sounded everywhere.


    ¡°No wonder he cultivates so fast with such normal talent. His terrifying battle power could also be explained with his bloodline power.¡±


    Yang Gan, Bei Moi and co. had complex expressions and no one knew whether they were sad or happy.


    The Broken Moon Clan Master and several Elders were overjoyed.


    ¡°The Heavens are finally on our side. Our Broken Moon Clan has produced a genius!¡±


    The Broken Moon Clan Master was extremely happy.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng does know how to conceal himself.¡±


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s face was slightly twisted as he tried to control the killing intent in his heart.


    ¡°As I thought.¡±


    First Elder let out a breath and smiled. Being Zhao Feng¡¯s Master, he had already realised that there was something going on with his disciple, but he wasn¡¯t certain.


    With the discussion from the audience, Zhao Feng walked off the arena, then he sat down and started to circulate his True Force to consolidate his realm.


    At the same time, he ate a Spiritual Pill that helped with healing.


    On the other side, Ao Yuetian, who had been defeated, had unwillingness, fear, and shock in his eyes.


    ¡°That guy¡­ has been hiding so deep.¡±


    Ao Yuetian clenched his teeth. This battle wasn¡¯t just a matter of defeat, it was humiliation.


    If Zhao Feng used his bloodline power earlier, he would have won. But the former didn¡¯t do so and instead, he used Ao Yuetian as a sharpener to ignite his potential and through the explosion of bloodline power, let him break through to the 6th Sky.


    Ao Yuetian had become a sharpener, a chess piece.


    How could he not be angry?


    After reaching the 6th Sky, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation would be higher than average and he would only have a one Sky difference between him and the other Stars, allowing him to improve his greatest weakness.


    In reality, there was the risk of Zhao Feng failing, but the pressure that Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong brought upon him was too great. He must increase his cultivation level to have the chance to get first place.


    At this moment, a lot of people looked at this cold and calm youth. From the start of the Alliance Banquet to now, Zhao Feng had already taken down two Stars.


    And now, he had revealed his bloodline power and increased his cultivation. His true strength was unmeasurable.


    In this point in time, Zhao Feng had left a terrifying impression on everyone and he was regarded as someone who was comparable to Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong.


    ¡°Who knows what will happen if that crazy guy meets Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong.¡±


    The finals continued.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng¡¯s injuries had fully recovered and under the healing power of his ancient bloodline, his recovery was faster than others. All the bloodlines had this ability.


    When Zhao Feng stood up again, his aura was stronger and his azure hair stood out amongst the people.


    Now, the entire finals arena was split into three forces.


    Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong and Zhao Feng.


    These three areas were split in three directions and the pressure from them made the other representing disciples breathless.


    If one could see the the power of fate, they would see three monsters in the air.


    One was a three yard sword, another was an eye that was as black as the abyss and another was an azure eye that surveyed life.


    The pressure radiating from them clashed with one another and their power was something that surpassed the geniuses of the Thirteen Clans.

 234 Who’s the King 1

    The rest of the representing disciples were unable to breath because of the pressure emitting from the three geniuses.


    This pressure created a feeling that it had nothing to do with strength but was caused by the Heavens.


    Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong and Zhao Feng.


    The three great prodigies were three separate forces.


    At this moment in time, they had recognised each other¡¯s strength and recognised them as true opponents.


    ¡°Cang Yuyue, I had originally thought that you would be my only opponent in the Alliance Banquet. I didn¡¯t expect for another one to pop out.¡±


    Lin Tong stood with his hands behind his back and his pitch black eyes focused on Zhao Feng.


    He didn¡¯t say anything, but his voice resounded in her ears through mental energy.


    Cang Yuyue stood holding her green blade like a goddess. Her clear eyes started to inspect someone for the first time.


    Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong understood each other quite well and this new opponent was someone that they both needed to understand.


    None of them knew how far this youth in front of them could go.


    Zhao Feng stood coldly as his beautiful but slightly wicked hair moved about with the wind. This scene caused the hearts of many girls to shake.


    Although Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t very good looking, his features weren¡¯t bad and his eye seemed to contain a limitless depth.


    The pure azure hair that he had even caused girls to be jealous and it made him seem slightly wicked.


    ¡°Although my opponents are strong, I will still strive for first place.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp as an invisible wave of battle intent surged from his body. In the Alliance Banquet, he had created miracles step by step and he had finally reached the peak of the tower. But the killing intent that hid in the dark was several times stronger than before.


    These killing intent didn¡¯t just come from Hai Yun Master alone.


    A prodigy that came from a weak clan like the Broken Moon Clan made others forces jealous and ill willed.


    However, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t a baby anymore and his wings had grown.


    Furthermore, any true genius had to face jealously and killing intent.


    Both Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong would face limitless troubles. This was a path that had to be crossed.


    ¡°Let the storm come even stronger than before. If I can come first and get the pill, I¡¯ll be able to reach the 7th Sky straight away.¡±


    Zhao Feng decided to give it his all.


    Being peerless geniuses, both Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong didn¡¯t show any signs of retreat. Their strength would jump rapidly if they were able to get the Shedding Spiritual Pill and they had the chance to reach the True Spirit Realm in just one to two years.


    ¡°These three geniuses have gained the fortune of entering the Sky Cloud Forest. This Alliance Banquet may be their chance to turn from a snake into a dragon.¡±


    The experts from the Cloud Sword Clan, who were at the True Spirit Realm, conversed and sighed.


    Geniuses like Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong and Zhao Feng usually only appeared once every several hundred years.


    But this time, three had appeared at once. How great was their fortune?


    In the corner that belonged to the Iron Dragon Country.


    ¡°It looks like the Sky Cloud thirteen countries still have some fortune remaining. Maybe it¡¯s from their glorious days.¡±


    A noble woman wearing a silver mask smiled faintly.


    At the same time, the reactions from the higher-level of the Thirteen Clans were different. There were sighs, envy and unwillingness¡­


    But all of them understood one thing, the victor would be decided from amongst these three.


    The Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that Feng¡¯er had reached such a stage.¡± First Elder sighed.


    He was already satisfied if Zhao Feng was able to enter the finals and become one of the Four Stars.


    But now, Zhao Feng, Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong had formed three forces that competed for the King of the Stars.


    Looking at the three and the fortune that were bestowed upon them, Xu Zixuan and Ao Yuetian¡¯s eyes were all dim and their fists were clenched due to unwillingness.


    None of them had thought that Zhao Feng was able to reach such a height.


    He wasn¡¯t a dark horse but a dragon waiting to rise and fly.


    The finals arena.


    The battles continued and the remaining twelve geniuses sparred with each other.


    If one was to win all 11 battles, they would be undoubtedly first.


    Half a day later.


    The next round of battles began.


    Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong and Zhao Feng once again displayed their strengths and instantly defeated their opponents.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s opponent was Bei Moi.


    Dark ripples of water formed a protective barrier around Bei Moi¡¯s body.


    WIthout saying anything, Zhao Feng took out his Luohou Bow and with the faint flash of azure blood, a Luohou arrow that surpassed the speed of sound shot out and moved on a profound route.


    Bei Moi¡¯s heart shook and the arrow in his eyes became a bolt of lightning. He felt himself fall into a limitless abyss and the snow and ice around him howled.


    If he was dazed for even half a second, the arrow that surpassed the speed of sound could decide the victor.


    Tok!


    The arrow slid past Bei Moi¡¯s shoulder and froze his body. At the same time, a numbing sensation enveloped his body.


    ¡°An arrow with mental energy attached¡­ ¡±


    Bei Moi smiled bitterly.


    He had to admit that he couldn¡¯t do anything against this arrow.


    Firstly, he couldn¡¯t ignore Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy attack. Secondly, the arrow¡¯s speed was terrifying after the Lightning Inheritance and bloodline power was merged with it.


    This arrow could pierce through the defense of a cultivator at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s limitless moves: bow and arrow, mental energy techniques and his power of lightning made him feel helpless.


    After four of five more battles, Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong and Zhao Feng, the three Star King¡¯s had no defeats.


    Only when they met would this happen. This was also the time that the spectator were waiting for.


    It was hard not to meet another Star King in the total of eleven battles


    Finally, in the sixth round, two of the Star Kings met.


    ¡°Cang Yuyue vs Lin Tong.¡±


    At the instant that the judge¡¯s voice ended, the crowd all became excited.


    The power of Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong had been impressioned deeply in their hearts. They were people who had instantly beaten their opponents.


    Cang Yuyue was the top Star who had crushed the geniuses of the Thirteen Clans under her feet.


    Those who were in the same generation as her were sad. These men had been surpassed by a woman and they could only look up to her.


    And this time, Cang Yuyue¡¯s opponent was also extremely strong. From the beginning to now, no one had been able to block Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eyes.


    He only needed one glance to defeat his opponent.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s power could be seen with the eye, but Lin Tong¡¯s couldn¡¯t and it was extremely hard to defend against.


    ¡°Start.¡±


    The judge who had reached the True Spirit Realm waved his hand.


    Jiang!


    The second his words were finished, the humming of a sword and a ray of light enveloped the arena.


    But at the same time, Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eyes had already opened.


    In Lin Tong¡¯s abyss-deep eyes, a rotating red dot had appeared.


    The mysterious and invisible power flowed everywhere and no one was able to block it.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword had only been half drawn out and it was frozen midair.


    Reality meant that mental energy attacks were faster than physical attacks, at least if the two were at the same cultivation they were.


    At this moment, everyone stared intently at the arena.


    The clash of the Stars was so simple.


    A second or even a move could decide the victor.


    The Cloud Sword Clan and Ancient Shrine members all stared tensely at the arena.


    These two Clans represented the first and second most powerful clans of the Thirteen.


    Their disciples were top tier in the Alliance, but the situation for Cang Yuyue didn¡¯t seem to be good because Lin Tong¡¯s attack had arrived first.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyebrows fluttered slightly as she struggled, but she was still fighting back.


    The green sword in her hand trembled slightly.


    A dark red light appeared on Lin Tong¡¯s body and it resisted Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword.


    Although the latter¡¯s sword had been stopped midway, her instinctively actions made her slash at her opponent, even though its power dropped significantly.


    However, even then a gash appeared on Lin Tong¡¯s shoulder, which made him moan slightly.


    In this gap, Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes suddenly flashed as she drew her sword once again.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The expressions of the older generation from Ancient Shrine all changed.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s offense had surpassed every other genius present. This was something not to be doubted.


    Even Zhao Feng and Lin Tong had to admit this point.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s power was immeasurable. She didn¡¯t have a bloodline power and still could reach such a step, this displayed her perception for the sword.


    Lin Tong took a deep breath and he flapped his black robe as the red dot in his Heavenly Absent Eyes became brighter and became even more alluring.


    The light in Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes dimmed once again and the terrifying power that was condensed in her sword slowly dissipated as her jade hand fell slowly.


    Cold sweat poured out off Lin Tong¡¯s forehead.


    Every time the light in Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes dimmed, her hand would fall an inch due to Lin Tong¡¯s effort.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The expressions from the Cloud Sword Clan members was solemn. As the light in Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes dimmed, her hand holding the sword would fall slowly. The moment it fully fell down was the moment of her defeat.


    Weng!


    The green sword suddenly hummed and Cang Yuyue¡¯s hand once again rose again as her power condensed.


    At this point in time, it was dead silent.


    The throats of the spectators had been choked.


    There was no beautiful display of skill, but the invisible exchange between them could decide the victor any second.


    Victory and defeat was between one thought.


    Cang Yuyue might be able to resist and defeat Lin Tong in one slash.


    There was also the possibility of Lin Tong dragging Cang Yuyue into a limitless abyss.


    Every second of the exchange was like stepping on a metal wire midair.


    Victory and defeat.


    Who would the glory belong to?


    Time seemed to stop.


    The clash between the two Stars only needed one move.


    But, this move was still ongoing.

 235 Who’s the King 2

    In the arena, Cang Yuyue faced Lin Tong and the air seemed to freeze.


    At this moment, the crowd was dead silent, leaving behind only the sound of hearts beating.


    From the beginning till now, the one move still hadn¡¯t decided the victor.


    Although it seemed to be long in reality, only two to three breaths had passed but in the illusion the two had already exchanged several hundred blows.


    Lin Tong and Cang Yuyue would have experienced countless exchanges every instant.


    ¡°Time in the mental energy dimension is different from the physical world. Maybe they¡¯ve been fighting for a long time.¡±


    Zhao Feng stared intently at the finals arena.


    Lin Tong¡¯s face was slightly twisted as he used all his strength. The mysterious cold power from him seemed to erode the air and he was still able to gain the upper hand.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyebrows were furrowed as her peerless face was slightly filled with different emotions such as pain, loneliness and helplessness.


    The light in her eyes was getting fainter and her sword was slowly falling down.


    The invisible power of mental energy was slowly rising and devouring the sky.


    In the eyes of the crowd, the beauty was falling into an abyss. Although the geniuses couldn¡¯t see the exchange, they could feel which way victory was sliding towards.


    ¡°Hold on, Senior Martial Sister!¡±


    ¡°As long as you can block this, you can slay him in one sword.¡±


    The disciples of the Cloud Sword Clan cheered.


    ¡°Yuyue can¡¯t hold on anymore. Of the Four Stars, she¡¯s the only one without a bloodline power¡­ ¡±


    A few of the older generation had solemn faces.


    Although Cang Yuyue was a peerless prodigy and had great perception, she didn¡¯t have a bloodline.


    Bloodlines were just too rare.


    Of course, this didn¡¯t mean that if one didn¡¯t have a bloodline, they couldn¡¯t become a miracle.


    For example, the owner of the Dragon Concealing River, the ¡®Concealed Dragon¡¯, who was famous tens of thousands of years ago, didn¡¯t have a bloodline power.


    The Scarlet Moon Patriarch, who had shaken the world, didn¡¯t have a bloodline as well and he only had average talent.


    Bloodlines were an advantage, but Cang Yuyue didn¡¯t have one.


    Lin Tong had a unique bloodline and it was because of this that he was able to cultivate the Heavenly Absent Eye of the Ancient Shrine.


    Another point that Zhao Feng found was that Lin Tong¡¯s mental energy source was special - much stronger than those who were at the same cultivation as him.


    The balance of victory kept sliding towards one side.


    A transparent layer of black mist started to rise from Cang Yuyue¡¯s foot. At the beginning, it only reached her knees but it soon covered half her body.


    This scenery was due to mental energy leaking out into the air and it reflected the situation of the exchange.


    Every time the black mist rose, the light in Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes would become dimmer.


    In a breath to two breaths time, the black mist had enveloped Cang Yuyue¡¯s shoulders and neck.


    The only bit remaining was her struggling face.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s figure was about to be fully covered in black mist.


    ¡°Sister Yuyue!¡±


    ¡°Senior sister, you can¡¯t lose to anyone! No one can block a sword of yours!¡±


    The Cloud Sword Clan members exclaimed.


    Everyone knew that once Cang Yuyue woke up, she could turn the situation around with one sword.


    However, no one had ever resisted through one glance of Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eye.


    Everyone watched the black mist cover her nose and reach her eyes.


    Dang!


    The green blade fell from Cang Yuyue¡¯s hand as the hearts of the Cloud Sword Clan members jumped as well.


    When a sword master lost their sword, it was the same as losing their soul.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­ ¡±


    The people from the Ancient Shrine let out a long breath and laughed.


    The black mist had devoured Cang Yuyue¡¯s body and it had reached past her eyebrows to her forehead.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s body had almost been fully enveloped.


    Lin Tong¡¯s twisted face slightly loosened.


    However, right at this moment, Cang Yuyue¡¯s dim eyes suddenly released a holy light like a ray of ¡®sword light¡¯ had appeared.


    Jiang!


    Her sword power once again condensed and it formed a ray of sword light that slashed through the air.


    ¡°That¡¯s!?¡± Many people from the Iron Dragon Country exclaimed.


    Their expressions hadn¡¯t changed this much ever since the beginning of the Alliance Banquet.


    ¡°That¡­ Could it be¡­ ¡±


    The Cloud Sword Clan Master was speechless.


    ¡°Sword Intent¡­ The seed of Sword Intent!¡± The Cloud Sword Clan¡¯s First Elder shouted.


    Sword Intent.


    The seed of Sword Intent.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes seemed to contain a sword that could slay demons and gods with just a thought.


    Tok! Tok!


    The black mist was shattered by the invisible Sword Intent.


    Wah!


    Lin Tong immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and with a pale face, he shot out the last ray of red light at Cang Yuyue.


    Cang Yuyue hmphed, but her eyes were still crystal clear and revealed a look of understanding.


    ¡°The Sky Cloud Forest has a Sword Dao genius.¡±


    The mysterious black figure¡¯s voice was slightly solemn.


    ¡°There aren¡¯t many geniuses like her even in the Northern Continent. If she¡¯s able to form a true Sword Intent, she¡¯ll probably become someone who¡¯s going to overrule the destiny of this continent.¡± The silver masked woman worriedly said.


    ¡°She¡¯s only just comprehended the seed of Sword Intent. Stepping onto the sky is even harder than condensing a true Sword Intent.¡±


    The others didn¡¯t think much of it.


    But at this point in time, the high authorities of the Thirteen Clans had broke out into discussion.


    The victor was already decided. Although Cang Yuyue didn¡¯t comprehend the true Sword Intent, she had resisted through one glance and victory was only one sword away.


    ¡°Seed of Sword Intent?¡± Zhao Feng murmured to himself as his expression became solemn.


    Cang Yuyue, who hadn¡¯t comprehended a Sword Intent, already greatly pressured him and now, she had comprehended this power.


    Sword Intent was a legend in this continent and its rareness even surpassed experts at the Origin Core Realm.


    Zhao Feng had read about it before in records before, but not much was said about Sword Intent.


    This was because there was barely anyone who had comprehended this power and it was hard to describe it.


    ¡°Several hundred years ago, the Ten Great Factions banded together against the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. At that time, the Scarlet Moon Patriarch was undefeatable and even experts at the Origin Core Realm were slain by him. Luckily, an expert of the sword, who had reached the Origin Core, had appeared. He had comprehended Sword Intent and he could destroy anything with just one thought. Even someone as strong as the Scarlet Moon Patriarch was wary of his attacks. The Scarlet Moon Patriarch¡¯s defeat had a lot to do with him.¡± The Cloud Sword Clan¡¯s First Elder said.


    Many people knew about this legend.


    ¡°That person was Ye Wuxie, someone who could threaten the Scarlet Moon Patriarch.¡±


    ¡°Apparently, he had received the Inheritance that ranked second in the Northern Continent, the ¡®7 Sword Inheritance¡¯.¡±


    When discussing the legends, many people were full of excitement and admiration.


    The ¡®Scarlet Moon Inheritance¡¯ and ¡®7 Sword Inheritance¡¯ were two of the 4 Great Inheritances in this continent.


    The 7 Sword Inheritance contained 7 inheritances that were related to the sword and Ye Wuxie had only received one of them, but this had made him the top sword expert.


    Of course, Ye Wuxie must have comprehended the Sword Intent.


    Jiang!


    Lin Tong¡¯s finger was sliced off and a whisp of sword light was wrapped around his neck.


    ¡°I admit defeat.¡±


    Lin Tong stood still and he didn¡¯t move.


    Under normal situations, he wasn¡¯t able to block Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword.


    Between him and Cang Yuyue, the possibilities that existed were only instant victory or instant defeat.


    And unfortunately for him, it was the latter.


    Of the Four Stars, Cang Yuyue was the only one without a bloodline power, but she had defied the heavens and at the last critical point, formed a seed of Sword Intent.


    ¡°My chances of beating Cang Yuyue before didn¡¯t exceed 50%... now that she¡¯s comprehended the seed of Sword Intent, my chances are reduced to a maximum of 20%... ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as he felt the pressure increase.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s seed of Sword Intent was something that no one had expected.


    Sword Intent could slash through the void and pierce through mental energy attacks.


    When one had comprehended something similar to the Sword Intent, they were the bane of mental energy techniques.


    And in a normal situation, Zhao Feng thought that there was the chance of him being instantly defeated by Cang Yuyue.


    The only thing that could change the outcome was God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    If Zhao Feng only used his bloodline power, he would definitely lost. Only by using God¡¯s Spiritual Eye did the chance of victory exist.


    The finals arena.


    This battle of the peak had finally ended.


    At this moment in time, Cang Yuyue had gathered all the glory and it was almost destined that all the geniuses of the Thirteen Clans would be crushed by a girl.


    In the eyes of the geniuses, Cang Yuyue was getting further away from them.


    Even someone as strong as Lin Tong had been instantly defeated by the seed of Sword Intent. Others probably didn¡¯t have a chance at all.


    But there was still eyes that landed on the one eyed azure haired youth.


    Zhao Feng was expressionless, but his eyes twinkled. He didn¡¯t have any signs of retreat.


    The finals arena.


    The rounds of sparring continued.


    The 7th battle.


    Zhao Feng met a very strong opponent.


    ¡°Zhao Feng vs Lin Tong.¡±


    As soon as this was announced, the crowd once again broke into excitement.


    This battle decided the rankings of the first three places.


    If Zhao Feng lost, he would be third. But if he was to win, there was still the last bit of hope.


    ¡°I feel a similar aura from you.¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eye slowly opened, but unexpectedly, he didn¡¯t attack.


    ¡°Oh? What do you mean?¡± Zhao Feng asked curiously.


    ¡°Take off your eyepatch.¡±

 236 Who’s the King 3

    ¡°Take off your eyepatch.¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s cold voice surprised the other disciples and their eyes locked onto Zhao Feng.


    The impression that Zhao Feng had given them was cold and cruel. It was hard to forget his azure eye and one eye. The latter made Zhao Feng seem more cruel and cool.


    But from Lin Tong¡¯s words, could it be that Zhao Feng¡¯s other eye had other uses?


    What was it?


    ¡°As one of the top techniques in the Thirteen Clans, the Heavenly Absent Eye lives up to its name.¡±


    A light flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eye.


    Even he was wary of Lin Tong, who had reached a higher mastery in mental energy. But this was also the time to sharpen the power of God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Zhao Feng planned in his heart.


    Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhao Feng slowly took off his eyepatch.


    A dim grey eye appeared.


    The hearts of everyone went cold.


    But at the next instant, an azure light enveloped Zhao Feng¡¯s dim left eye.


    The azure eye slowly turned as beautiful as a crystal and the sharpness of it seemed to be able to pierce everything.


    The hearts of anyone that looked straight into this eye shook. They had a feeling that their hearts had been seen through and their secrets all seen.


    ¡°That is your mental energy technique? We are indeed the same.¡±


    A smile curled up on Lin Tong¡¯s lips as his bloodline power started trembling, but it was unknown whether it was from excitement or uneasiness.


    At the same time, the spectator stands broke out into discussion.


    ¡°What kind of mental energy technique is that? It has such sharpness.¡±


    ¡°It seems like the secret technique Heavenly Eagle Eye, but it¡¯s obviously based on bloodline power like Lin Tong¡¯s.¡±


    The people from the Ancient Shrine were all ruffled.


    They had never seen Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy technique before and its description wasn¡¯t in their records.


    Heavenly Absent Eye.


    Lin Tong¡¯s black robes flapped and the invisible power eroded the air.


    A dark red light appeared in his dark abyss eyes and the light around him seemed to dim.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook and he felt like he had entered another dimension.


    The next instant, Zhao Feng was in a pitch black dimension.


    A black metal cage could be seen forming around him.


    The pitch black dimension was cold, weird and deadly.


    In the air in front of Zhao Feng, Lin Tong looked down at him like he was the King.


    ¡°Using mental energy to create a cage and make the opponent¡¯s mind enter the scenery¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng took in a cold breath.


    His body was still on the arena, but his consciousness had entered here. No matter how strong he was, without his consciousness, his body was just a corpse.


    ¡°Time in mental energy is different from the outside world. Your consciousness is brought here by my Heavenly Absent Eye and it will face limitless torture. A day¡¯s time here is only a couple breaths in the outside world.¡±


    Lin Tong laughed brutally and he took out a thorned whip which he whipped towards Zhao Feng.


    Pa!


    Zhao Feng hmphed as a gash appeared on his body. Although this attack wouldn¡¯t affect his physical body, his consciousness would face limitless pain and be exhausted.


    ¡°Normal people can only last two hours here, but that bitch Cang Yuyue managed to last almost twenty hours. I wonder how long you can last.¡±


    Lin Tong licked his lips and whipped towards Zhao Feng.


    Pa! Pa! Pa!


    The metal whip ripped off flesh and blood. It would be incredible if normal people could even last a few moments.


    A person¡¯s will contributed to how long they could last.


    Of course, Lin Tong¡¯s mental energy wasn¡¯t unlimited. If someone¡¯s will was infinitely strong, they could tire out Lin Tong.


    But being someone who trained the path of mental energy, Lin Tong¡¯s mental energy was much stronger than others. His source of mental energy was several times larger than others of the same cultivation.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng was stuck in the black cage while being tortured by Lin Tong. The first was a metal whip then other weapons and the techniques were used and they were unimaginable.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine how Cang Yuyue, a girl, could last twenty hours here. No wonder she could condense the seed of Sword Intent.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought about how terrifying Cang Yuyue was.


    Under normal circumstances, even those at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm could only last two hours max and two hours inside this dimension was only the blink of an eye outside.


    Therefore, Lin Tong¡¯s opponents were all instantly defeated in just ¡®one glance¡¯.


    Without experiencing it, no one would understand the pain.


    ¡°Your mental energy is stronger than what I thought. It¡¯s effortless to withstand these ferocious attacks.¡±


    Lin Tong floated in the abyss.


    ¡°Haha, continue.¡±


    A cold smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips as his azure eye surveyed the cage.


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll see how long you can last.¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s offensive power increased dramatically.


    Swords, sabers, sticks, fire and ice. Different weapons and elements enveloped Zhao Feng and the latter expressionlessly took all the attacks.


    He understood that these attacks had no effect in one¡¯s physical body and all of this only harmed one¡¯s mental energy and consciousness.


    However, how strong was Zhao Feng¡¯s source of powerful energy?


    Inside the dimension of his left eye the azure light in the abyss spun and its colour darkened.


    In the finals arena, Zhao Feng faced Lin Tong, and the red dot in Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eye kept on rotating.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye glittered with azure light and it remained sharp and bright.


    One breath¡­ two breaths¡­ Three breaths¡­


    The short amount of time that passed by seemed to be incredibly long.


    Four or five breaths later, cold sweat had appeared on Lin Tong¡¯s forehead and his two hands were clenched tightly as his body lightly struggled.


    The Ancient Shrine.


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t finished off that brat in such a long time?¡±


    ¡°The situation isn¡¯t good for Lin Tong. The brat named Zhao is just too weird and his mental energy source is incredible. He doesn¡¯t seem to be injured, even after such a long time.¡±


    The high authority of the Ancient Shrine had solemn expressions.


    Lin Tong usually only needed a breath to defeat his opponent, but the current situation right now was very weird.


    Zhao Feng had a smile on his lips and he seemed to be extremely casual.


    In the pitch black dimension.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­ ?¡±


    Lin Tong stared at Zhao Feng, who was in the black cage, in shock.


    He had ¡®tortured¡¯ Zhao Feng for several hours, but the latter had taken all the attacks without even groaning.


    Lin Tong felt that his mental illusion attacks had attacked a rock that had no life, part of his mental energy was even absorbed.


    Zhao Feng had great resistance towards mental energy. Even the hooded headed had failed last time.


    Lin Tong¡¯s technique was concentrated around illusions and not much power. His consciousness was slightly tired right now, whereas Zhao Feng¡¯s was still at its peak.


    ¡°Ok, it ends here. I¡¯ve understood your mental energy technique now.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye suddenly released a strong azure light that seemed to slash through the void.


    Crack!


    The cage that was created by Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eye was instantly shattered.


    The finals arena.


    Hu~


    Lin Tong puffed out tiredly.


    Zhao Feng, on the other hand, was still energetic and his left eye still sharp.


    ¡°This¡­ How is this possible...? Almost fully resilience to my mental energy technique.¡±


    Lin Tong was speechless and stunned. After he had successfully cultivated the Heavenly Absent Eye, his path had been successful. It was the first time that he had met someone who was almost fully resilient to his mental illusion technique.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s my turn now.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly as the azure light in the abyss of his left eye spun.


    Shua!


    Lin Tong¡¯s heart shook and he was led away by a powerful force of mental energy.


    The next instant, Lin Tong appeared in a world that was covered in clouds.


    ¡°How is this possible!? This is my Heavenly Absent Eye¡­ ¡± Lin Tong exclaimed.


    At this moment, the dimension that he was in was the one created by Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve learnt your Heavenly Absent Eye and merged my Lightning Inheritance in it. The twenty hours that you tortured me before will be my learning fees.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    As soon as his words finished, a lightning bolt descended from the sky.


    Lin Tong struggled as sizzles of electric chains held him in place and numbed him.


    ¡°Break! Breaaaak!¡±


    Lin Tong used his mental energy techniques, wanting to break the illusion.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s source of mental energy was extremely strong and under the control of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, the illusion was very stable.


    ¡°How is it possible for you to have such mastery in mental illusions?¡±


    Lin Tong was struck by a bolt of lightning and he looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy was already incredible before he attended the Alliance Banquet and this was related to the Illusion Fish Picture that he had comprehended before.


    The Illusion Fish Picture belonged to the path of Illusion Arrays and its origin was the same as mental energy illusions.


    After comprehending the Illusion Fish Picture, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy illusions were like fish in the water. It was because of this that he was able to learn Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eye and merge whatever he wanted inside it.


    ¡°This is my Azure Sky Illusion, which is created by the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. Its power is stronger and harder to break. After merging my Lightning Inheritance into it, its offensive power has been dramatically increased. Let¡¯s see how long you can last.¡± Zhao Feng laughed coldly.


    This was a battle between ¡®mental energy illusions¡¯.


    Zhao Feng had now trapped Lin Tong in the Azure Sky Illusion.


    Hong~ LongLong---


    Limitless bolts of lightning arched towards Lin Tong.


    Two hours later.


    Lin Tong¡¯s mental energy had collapsed and his consciousness was on the brink of fainting.


    Shua!


    The finals arena.


    Plop.


    Lin Tong half kneeled on the ground, soaked in cold sweat. His face was pale white and he had no energy left in him.

 237 First 1

    The expressions of the people from the Ancient Shrine immediately changed at the second Lin Tong was defeated.


    The exchange between Zhao Feng and Lin Tong was not even ten breaths long and no one could see what had happened.


    Lin Tong had alway defeated his opponents with ¡®one glance¡¯.


    Even when he faced Cang Yuyue, he had only used one glance and although he had lost, the battle could¡¯ve changed with just one thought.


    This time, Lin Tong had lost even more horribly than before, being defeated in his own forte.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had only used ¡®one glance¡¯ to defeat him.


    ¡°How can there be such an eye power bloodline¡­ Such strong source of mental energy¡­ Secret technique to copy the opponent¡­¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s consciousness wasn¡¯t clear, like he wasn¡¯t able to accept this result.


    The shock that Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had given him was too big.


    Just one glance had shattered his Heavenly Absent Eye mental illusion and in a few breaths time, he had ¡®copied¡¯ his technique.


    Furthermore, his opponent was almost fully resilient to mental energy attacks and his bloodline was nothing in front of it.


    ¡°Zhao Feng wins!¡±


    Hearing the judges announcement, Lin Tong seemed to wake up and he looked deeply at Zhao Feng. In the preliminaries, he had felt an eye bloodline from Zhao Feng which suppressed his bloodline and made it tremble.


    Lin Tong had been stunned back then and this had ignited his battle intent.


    Only now did Lin Tong understand that the feeling from his bloodline wasn¡¯t wrong.


    The numerous glances from the crowd landed on Zhao Feng¡¯s face as he walked off the arena.


    These eyesights contained mainly fear and wary, but some of them had flashes of coldness and killing intent.


    ¡°I must not let him live.¡±


    The danger signal in Hai Yun Master¡¯s heart became even stronger. Ever since the Floating Crest Trial, Zhao Feng had matured step and step and started to pressure him.


    And now, Zhao Feng had revealed his talent and bloodline power. Who knows what it¡¯ll be like if he let Zhao Feng grow?


    At the same time, Hai Yun Master realised that he had been deceived by Zhao Feng.


    The latter was extremely young and could have such a state of mind - knowing to hide himself for so long. This wasn¡¯t something that others his age had.


    Thinking up to here, Hai Yun Master¡¯s heart became even colder.


    ¡°That brat¡¯s eye bloodline is so powerful! It¡¯s the bane of our ¡®Ancient Shrine¡¯,¡±


    ¡°If we can¡¯t use him for ourselves, we should kill him.¡±


    The older generation of the Ancient Shrine discussed it.


    Zhao Feng senses were extremely sensitive and he could feel the emotions in the mental energy nearby.


    He laughed and scanned the audience.


    Shua!


    The hearts of those representing disciples were like they had been stabbed when the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned over them.


    Those that had evil plans in their mind felt uneasy.


    The Cloud Sword Clan.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that he would defeat Lin Tong so easily.¡±


    Cang Yuyue sat cross-legged on the ground with a pale face and she intently watched the arena.


    Behind her were three Elders at the True Spirit Realm who poured their energy into her body.


    ¡°Yuyue comprehended the seed of sword intent at the brink of her consciousness collapsing. At that time, she was already extremely weak and Lin Tong¡¯s last counterattack had left her injured.¡± An Elder of the Cloud Sword Clan sighed.


    ¡°Luckily, we¡¯ve given her a precious Mind Cleansing Spiritual Pill which can somewhat heal almost all of her mental energy. The only problem is that she¡¯s got a crack in her thoughts, which will leave an obvious flaw if her seed of sword intent is quickly healed.¡±


    The Cloud Sword Clan Master was worried.


    No one had been able to injured Cang Yuyue, but Lin Tong¡¯s mental power wasn¡¯t easy to deal with.


    Using Lin Tong¡¯s words, Cang Yuyue had been caged inside an illusion for twenty hours. The pain that she would have been dealt was unimaginable.


    ¡°The seed of sword intent is even more important than Spiritual Pill. That Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy is even more terrifying than Lin Tong¡¯s. I think that we should give up on the battle between Yuyue and Zhao Feng.¡±


    ¡°No way, the Cloud Sword Clan is the number 1 Clan in the Alliance. How can we forsake this glory? Furthermore, Yuyue won¡¯t give up so easily.¡±


    ¡°Yuyue has comprehended the seed of sword intent. As long as she can block, Zhao Feng¡¯s first round of mental energy, she only needs one sword to decide the victory.¡±


    At this point in time, the Cloud Sword Clan was arguing amongst themselves.


    From the current situation, it seemed that Cang Yuyue¡¯s probability of winning was bigger, with at least a 70% chance.


    This was because the seed of sword intent had the ability to slash through the void and Lin Tong¡¯s mental energy had been reduced to nothing by it.


    But the problem was that Cang Yuyue¡¯s mind had been injured and the seed of sword intent needed to be stabilised.


    If it was just a normal opponent, it wouldn¡¯t matter.


    But Zhao Feng¡¯s mental strength was immeasurable and even someone as strong as Lin Tong had been easily defeated by him.


    Even though Cang Yuyue had comprehended the seed of sword intent, she had to admit that he was a troublesome opponent.


    ¡°Clan Master, Teacher, Elders. I¡¯ve made my decision. Being a cultivator of the sword, one should always go forward. Furthermore, it¡¯s my wish to get first place in the Alliance Banquet.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s face was decisive and filled with belief. Her aura of the sword caused the nearby swords to tremble slightly.


    The finals arena.


    The battles continued. After the eighth round, there was only one thing that was important.


    3rd place 4th place, 5th place¡­ these rankings had been almost confirmed.


    The only thing that everyone wanted to know was who was going to rise to the top.


    First in the Alliance Banquet.


    This was a glorious position to any of the Thirteen Clans.


    This was a moment that would be recorded into history.


    Cang Yuyue and Zhao Feng. Who would come first?


    This topic was frequently discussed amongst the Thirteen Clans.


    ¡®Cang Yuyue¡¯s probability of winning is greater since she¡¯s comprehended the seed of sword intent. No one under the True Spirit Realm can withstand a sword of hers.¡±


    ¡°But Cang Yuyue seems to be injured after battling Lin Tong. Or else why would there be three Elders healing her?¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength isn¡¯t confirmed yet. I think this battle can go either ways¡­ ¡±


    Although the battles were still continuing, most of the people only cared about first place.


    Finally, in the tenth round of battles, the Alliance Banquet welcomed the most pinnacle battle.


    ¡°Cang Yuyue vs Zhao Feng.¡±


    The older generation at the True Spirit Realm and representing disciples were all looking forward to this battle.


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly walked onto the arena. Cang Yuyue was a bit slower and from the spectating stand, it seemed that she had recovered. The sizzle of sword intent in her eyes made others unable to look at her straight on.


    Cang Yuyue had comprehended the seed of sword intent and a glance from her could shatter the confidence and battle intent from cultivators of the 6th and 7th Sky.


    From this, one could see how powerful sword intent was.


    Sword Intent contained the belief of the sword and this power was displayed through mental energy to slash through the void.


    When Cang Yuyue stepped onto the arena, her sword intent aura had been condensed to the max.


    There was a belief of slashing past everything and charging forwards.


    The weird thing was that both Zhao Feng and Cang Yuyue didn¡¯t attack immediately.


    After fighting Lin Tong, Cang Yuyue understood that mental energy attacks were faster than physical attacks. Furthermore, her seed of sword intent would be used only when Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy attack came out, then she would block it and then decide the battle with one sword.


    ¡°Cang Yuyue, your mind¡¯s injury isn¡¯t fully healed now. Under the unstable mental energy, your seed of sword intent isn¡¯t stable and it could be critical.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back and smiled. He didn¡¯t immediately attack.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes locked on Cang Yuyue¡¯s.


    Even though the latter had comprehended the seed of sword intent, her heart still shook when she saw Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    It was an eye that seemed to survey the earth. This eye gave her pressure that was even several times greater than Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eye.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s blood stiffened and this was because she didn¡¯t have a bloodline power.


    ¡°So what? Even under this situation, I believe that I can beat you with one sword.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword aura became stronger and her green sword trembled slightly.


    It was a belief that she could win with one sword.


    After comprehending the seed of sword intent, Cang Yuyue¡¯s strength had risen to another level.


    Across the Thirteen Clan disciples, no one could confidently block a sword of hers - including Zhao Feng.


    ¡°You¡¯re wrong. No one has ever harmed me since the start of the Alliance Banquet. Even Lin Tong was easily defeated by me when you just barely won and was injured as a result.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s battle intent surged. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye flashed with an azure light and turned sharp, like he was the King surveying his positions.


    ¡°So what?¡±


    Cang Yuyue found that Zhao Feng¡¯s belief and confidence was rising and clashing with her seed of sword intent.


    ¡°You can¡¯t do what I can do. This means that you¡¯re critically flawed.¡± Zhao Feng said confidently.


    Cang Yuyue paused, but then she laughed in disdain. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s next words caused her heart to shake.


    ¡°All your strength can be seen with my eyes. And yet you know nothing of my true strength and methods.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye flashed with an azure light and every word, every sound and even every breath had a mysterious power to it.


    Under the locking on of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Cang Yuyue¡¯s body stiffened. She felt like all her secrets had been seen and this was the reason that she didn¡¯t instantly slash out.


    ¡°Yuyue, don¡¯t be affected by his words. He¡¯s trying to break through the flaw in your heart.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t listen to him. Since you¡¯ve drawn your sword, defeat him with your unparalleled belief.¡±


    The older generation of the Cloud Sword Clan was anxious.

 238 First 2

    Those who were watching didn¡¯t find it hard to see that Zhao Feng was breaking Cang Yuyue¡¯s confidence.


    Under the God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes¡¯ lockdown, Zhao Feng¡¯s every word contained mental energy that found its way into his opponent''s mind.


    At the same time, his own confidence and battle intent kept on rising. The simple few words contained absolute belief.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s immeasurable strength became imprinted in Cang Yuyue¡¯s mind.


    At the same time, the power of her seed of sword intent was restricted.


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s aim.


    Any cultivator of the sword had strong belief in the Dao of the Sword. If one didn¡¯t have any, they couldn¡¯t condense the seed of sword intent.


    In Cang Yuyue¡¯s heart, no one was able to stop her one sword.


    It was this belief that increased the power of her sword but through Zhao Feng¡¯s use of God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and mental energy technique, Cang Yuyue¡¯s seed of sword intent lost its belief.


    Weakening the opponent was the same as increasing his own chances of winning.


    A battle between experts wasn¡¯t purely about battle power. It also contained experience, tricks, mindset, will and more.


    ¡°Hmph, do you think that you know how powerful the seed of sword intent is?¡±


    Cang Yuyue hmped loudly and activated her sword aura to pressure Zhao Feng¡¯s mind and body.


    She clearly knew Zhao Feng¡¯s meaning but she was still somewhat affected and used her belief and confidence to fight back against Zhao Feng.


    Jiang!


    The green blade was drawn out of its sheath and a sharpness seemed to appear in the air, which locked onto Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hehe, let¡¯s see if you can finish off the battle with your one sword.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed confidently and his Yin Shadow Cloak flapped in the air, causing his figure to be fainter than before.


    At this time, the sword aura charged at Zhao Feng. Cang Yuyue hadn¡¯t even slashed out with her sword yet and the invisible power from her seed of sword intent tried to stab into his soul.


    If it was someone else, this aura alone would crumble their mind and leave them with the battle power.


    But Zhao Feng stood coldly, unmoved.


    ¡°Cloud Heaven Sword Slash!¡±


    A light of sword intent flashed in Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes as the green blade slashed through the air, leaving behind a beautiful streak like a rainbow.


    Tok! Tok!


    The arrays in the air were pierced open.


    The attack with the seed of sword intent was much stronger than the attacks that Cang Yuyue had used before. They had reached an entire new level.


    Before when Cang Yuyue hadn¡¯t comprehended the seed of sword intent, no one was able to stop a single sword attack of hers and now she had the seed of sword intent.


    Victory or defeat was decided here.


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath as his left eye locked onto Cang Yuyue and exploded his bloodline power at the instant before her attack.


    Weng~


    A faint azure blood traveled around his body and a glass-like tatoo appeared. It seemed to be from the ancient era, old and noble, with some feelings of wickedness to it.


    His blood and bones released an invisible aura which caused the nearby disciples to feel uneasy and make their blood to freeze.


    This was especially so for those with bloodlines. Zhao Yufei, Lin Tong and co. all felt their bloodlines tremble.


    At that instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s attributes increased dramatically and he seemed to be protected by a mysterious power.


    ¡°What is this bloodline power¡­? It¡¯s very ancient and probably comes from the ancient times¡­ ¡±


    ¡°The older the bloodline, the stronger the ancestor once was. But on the other hand, the purity of the bloodline is weaker and the chances of inheriting it is lower.¡±


    The mysterious figures from the Iron Dragon Country sighed.


    Bloodline power was very rare in the Thirteen Clans and they sometimes only appeared once every thousand years.


    But these people seemed to understand more about bloodline power.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s azure hair blew in the wind and his eyebrows turned azure. At the same time, the azure coloured glass like tattoo gave off a light.


    An invisible aura of power transformed into a mental energy sound attack from Zhao Feng¡¯s shout.


    The black sand material was shattered bit by bit.


    In the air, a ring of light shot at Cang Yuyue.


    This wasn¡¯t just a simple mental energy technique anymore. It contained Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and the mysterious power from his bloodline.


    At that instant, a bright azure light spun quickly in Zhao Feng¡¯s eye and the azure abyss seemed to extend into the air.


    Hong Long Long!!


    Cang Yuyue only felt the heavens shake and if it wasn¡¯t for her sword power, that force would¡¯ve made her instantly cough out blood.


    A light of holy sword intent condensed in her eye and it clashed with the azure abyss in Zhao Feng¡¯s eye.


    The speed of this exchange was ten times faster than even mental energy.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword intent aura instant faded by over half.


    The seed of sword intent was condensed by her belief in the sword. When this power faded, her sword lost its sharpness.


    ¡°Not good, Yuyue¡¯s seed of sword intent isn¡¯t stable.¡±


    ¡°That brat¡¯s bloodline power is more towards the mental energy side and it contains power similar to sword intent.¡±


    The expressions of the Elders of the Cloud Sword Clan changed.


    What made it even more special was that Zhao Feng¡¯s actions only happened the instant before Cang Yuyue¡¯s attacks took place.


    His sudden movements didn¡¯t defeat Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword intent but it stopped her moves halfway, causing her mind to tremble.


    Shuuuu-----


    A sword light flashed through the air like a rainbow towards Zhao Feng.


    Those at the 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm probably wouldn¡¯t be able to dodge it.


    However, under the lockdown of Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he saw the approximate direction of the sword at the instant Cang Yuyue slashed out.


    The swords route was seen at a hundred times slower rate in his eye. But Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword still contained a bit of seed of sword intent which lock its sight onto Zhao Feng.


    Weng~


    The glass-like tattoo on Zhao Feng¡¯s body gave off a light and it seemed to heighten his defenses.


    Even without the increase in defense, Zhao Feng could ignore most of the sword intent power with his mental energy.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s most important step had been completed.


    By decreasing Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword intent power, it meant that her offense would drop dramatically.


    Lightning Wind Destruction!


    Azure lightning flashed around Zhao Feng¡¯s body and formed a large whirlwind which crushed everything inside into nothingness.


    Boom-----


    The whirlwind of lightning clashed with the sword attack and it exploded, creating a huge black hole in the stage so deep that the bottom couldn¡¯t be seen.


    Such astonishing destructive power shocked the spectators. It was hard to imagine that this came from someone at the Ascended Realm.


    Qiu----


    A faint azure figure flashed in the air. Zhao Feng had moved away at the instant that he took the hit head on. But even then, blood leaked from the corner of his mouth and a gash so deep that the bone could be seen appeared on his shoulder. From this, one could see how strong Cang Yuyue¡¯s offense was.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wind Palm had reached the peak of the 6th level and his bloodline power had been fully opened. Even Ao Yuetian, who had immense defense, would be defeated by him in one palm.


    But still, Zhao Feng had succeeded in diffusing Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword and this was something that hadn¡¯t happened before.


    As long as this step happened, victory almost belonged to Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Cang Yuyue was condensing her seed of sword intent again.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mysterious power left a deep impression in her. Being a cultivator of the sword, her forte was offense and her strongest sword had been blocked by the opponent.


    Furthermore, the coldness of having everything seen through enveloped her mind.


    The timing from Zhao Feng just then was too perfect. It was not too late nor too early but at the instant that she attacked.


    Cang Yuyue even had the feeling that her attacking route had been seen by the opponent.


    ¡°Cang Yuyue¡­ The fact that you haven¡¯t won in one sword means that you¡¯ve lost the chance of victory.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed in the air amidst arcs of lightning and lept towards Cang Yuyue.


    The latter held her green sword and realised that she couldn¡¯t see Zhao Feng. Only with the seed of sword intent did she have the chance.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline had been fully activated and using the Yin Shadow Cloak, his Illusion Fish Lighning Arc Step had reached the maximum speed.


    This wasn¡¯t just all about speed. The skill contained the word ¡®Illusion¡¯ and under the use of mental energy from the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, it could trick the opponent.


    However, when Cang Yuyue used her seed of sword intent, she was still able to lock onto Zhao Feng and attack him.


    ¡°Hehehe, too late.¡±


    A light laugh resounded in her ears.


    Lightning circled Zhao Feng and he looked like a God of Lightning that had descended. His speed suddenly increased as he charged forwards.


    Cang Yuyue had only slashed halfway before a mental energy attack from Zhao Feng¡¯s Gods Spiritual Eye crumbled her seed of sword intent.


    At the same time, a clap of thunder resounded in her ears which made her blood tremble.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s body became slightly numb as panic settled in her eyes for the first time.


    Ever since her path of cultivation, she had crushed every other person under her feet with her sword and no one in the younger generation could fight back against her.


    Her second sword wasn¡¯t able to slash out.


    In the entire battle, Cang Yuyue was only able to draw one sword and when Zhao Feng had come close, the fight had ended.


    If Cang Yuyue¡¯s offense power was considered a 10, her defense and movement didn¡¯t exceed 6.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng¡¯s offense, defense, movement and mental energy were all around 8.


    Cang Yuyue only felt a large source of lightning extend from the bottom half of the body upwards.


    The sword intent that she had just condensed was dissolved by this lightning and with a ¡®Pa¡¯, the lightning hit her shoulder.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s weak defense wasn¡¯t able to stop the rush of lightning, so she instantly spat out blood and fainted.

 239 Highest Reward

    The top battle of the Alliance Banquet was decided in one move.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s offense was still unbearable, but she was the one who was defeated.


    ¡°How is that possible? Zhao Feng won so easily.¡±


    ¡°Just one move! I feel that Cang Yuyue lost on purpose.¡±


    Most of the representing disciples didn¡¯t know what was going on. From the surface, it seemed that Zhao Feng had won too easily.


    From the beginning till the end, he was immeasurable and he seemed confident he would win.


    This gave others a feeling that Cang Yuyue had lost on purpose.


    But in reality, Zhao Feng had won this match because of luck. Any change could have resulted in him being defeated by Cang Yuyue in one move.


    There was only a few people who were able to see the exchange.


    ¡°Unfortunate¡­ Cang Yuyue had a 70% plus chance of winning, but she still lost.¡±


    ¡°Cang Yuyue¡¯s mind had some injuries to it and the seed of sword intent wasn¡¯t stable. Hence the defeat.¡±


    The seniors of the Cloud Sword Clan sighed.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s battle was too frustrating. She had the strength to win but had lost.


    Those at the True Spirit Realm could see the deciding factor.


    At the beginning, Zhao Feng had used words to shake Cang Yuyue¡¯s confidence.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could control Cang Yuyue¡¯s every movement and inspect her secrets.


    Secondly, mental energy couldn¡¯t be blocked, Cang Yuyue¡¯s mind was already injured and her seed of sword intent unstable.


    This also meant that Zhao Feng had grabbed Cang Yuyue¡¯s weakness and flaw straight from the beginning. This was also the God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes¡¯ forte and when used with mental energy, the effect was doubled.


    Even if Cang Yuyue understood Zhao Feng¡¯s intent, she was still forced to condense her seed of sword intent to retaliate.


    And this was also in Zhao Feng¡¯s plan.


    The latter had shaken Cang Yuyue¡¯s confidence and crumbled her seed of sword intent at the instant that she made her attack.


    The second step was based on the fact that the first step had succeeded.


    Carelessness made Cang Yuyue once again fail and her seed of sword intent was diminished by over half and her strike was also broken.


    Of course, the power of Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and his bloodline power was also shocking.


    At the critical moment, he broke through Cang Yuyue¡¯s seed of sword intent and paid the price of being injured to block Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword.


    This way, the side of victory balanced towards Zhao Feng.


    The first few steps was to shake Cang Yuyue¡¯s belief and confidence. After blocking her strike, the whole situation had changed.


    When Cang Yuyue had condensed her second strike, it had been easily taken care of by Zhao Feng.


    When Zhao Feng came close, the victory was decided.


    Cultivators of the sword aimed for offense, to break through ten thousand skills with one sword.


    Therefore, in terms of attacks, they were superior to those who had the same cultivation.


    But everything hads its weaknesses.


    Apart from offense, cultivators of the sword were weak at everything else.


    The world had too many mysterious skills that were unable to be defended against.


    For example, the Curse of a Hundred Graves was a nightmare for those even at the True Spirit Realm.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t envy cultivators of the Sword. There were too many techniques in the world that could instantly kill you.


    If Cang Yuyue hadn¡¯t comprehended the seed of sword intent, a blink from Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye or Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eye could kill her.


    ¡°Zhao Feng wins!¡±


    The judge at the True Spirit Realm looked complexly at Zhao Feng. The reason why Zhao Feng had won this battle was because of his mindset.


    It could be said that Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword was unbearable for those under the True Spirit Realm.


    When the result was announced, Cang Yuyue¡¯s mind had woken and with a pale face, she coldly locked onto Zhao Feng as sword intent filled the air.


    She had understood the reason why she had lost and felt cold when thinking about his tricks.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye faced Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes, not scared of her sword intent.


    Under the pushing of his bloodline, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye seemed to contain a mysterious power. But as of now, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know how to use it and so was mainly used for defense instead of offense.


    At this moment, the victor was decided. Both Zhao Feng and Cang Yuyue wouldn¡¯t say anything.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s victory depended on luck, his moves had potential to them.


    Spectating Stand of the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°Won, he actually won!¡±


    First Elder couldn''t suppress the excitement in his heart and the corners of his eyes turned wet.


    First place in the Alliance Banquet. This represented the highest honour amongst the juniors in the Sky Cloud Forest area.


    This was the first time in a thousand years that the Broken Moon Clan had taken first place.


    Previously, the Broken Moon Clan would be at the bottom of the pack and it was even hard for one or two of them to enter the top twenty.


    But this time, first place belonged to the Broken Moon Clan.


    Of the final twelve, Bei Moi was probably able to reach the top 10 and although Yang Gan didn¡¯t make it into the final twelve, his placing was probably in the top 20.


    The higher-ups of the Broken Moon Clan couldn¡¯t even describe their joy.


    Only Hai Yun Master¡¯s smile was unnatural as he tried to hide the uneasiness in his heart.


    The thing that he didn''t want to happen, happened.


    Ever since the Floating Crest Trial, Zhao Feng had turned impossibles into possibles.


    In terms of talent, potential, will, mind¡­ Zhao Feng was top tier.


    This was especially so for mindset. Zhao Feng was much smarter than others at his age.


    The other clans of the Thirteen Clans looked at each other and broke out into discussion.


    The Cloud Sword Clan spectators and Ancient Shrine spectators had ugly expressions on their faces. The glory of first place had been taken by the Broken Moon Clan who was always at the bottom.


    The Lin Moon Clan was also stunned.


    The three Moon Clans were originally one clan and the Broken Moon Clan was always rock bottom.


    Just a while ago, at the Three Clan Party, the Broken Moon Clan had already surprised everyone. But now, it seemed that the Broken Moon Clan had been holding back.


    After Zhao Feng and Cang Yuyue¡¯s battle, the Alliance Banquet had technically ended. There was no more resistance against Zhao Feng and Cang Yuyue.


    The finals required the twelve to each fight eleven battles.


    Finally, Zhao Feng won all eleven matches and Cang Yuyue won ten.


    Lin Tong won nine, losing only to Zhao Feng and Cang Yuyue.


    Without a doubt, Zhao Feng was the King of the Alliance Banquet this time.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t manage to catch up.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes were slightly dim.


    On the finals stage, Zhao Yufei wasn¡¯t even able to retaliate against Zhao Feng. The latter¡¯s mental energy and offense had reached a peak when used with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Apart from Cang Yuyue who had unbearable offense, no one else could threaten him.


    But soon, a light flashed in Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes: ¡°If I can¡¯t surpass him, then I¡¯ll use him as my aim. This is also a sort of belief.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart flaw suddenly disappeared.


    If she couldn¡¯t surpass Zhao Feng, why not just follow her heart and use him as a goal?


    The change of heart made her a young girl once again.


    This had its own advantages and disadvantages.


    The good thing was that Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t have a heart flaw anymore and as long as Zhao Feng kept on improving, her strength would also improve.


    But the disadvantage was that if Zhao Feng was fully defeated sometime, this would also affect Zhao Yufei because the latter had made the former a tall mountain and her lifegoal.


    Two to three days later.


    The final battles had fully finished.


    First: Zhao Feng


    Second: Cang Yuyue


    Third: Lin Tong


    Only three Stars were decided this time.


    Because Ao Yuetian and Xu Zixuan could be instantly defeated by the others, they weren¡¯t ranked as Stars anymore.


    Immediately then came the rewards of the Alliance Banquet.


    The Alliance Banquet was held by the Thirteen Clans and every Clan had to pay a portion of the price which made up the rewards.


    In other words, this was a gamble in which the Thirteen Clans all placed huge bets.


    Winning or losing depended on the placing of the representing disciples.


    Without a doubt the top three all won.


    Just first place alone received a Shedding Spiritual Pill, whose value was immeasurable.


    Apparently, the Thirteen Clans paid a huge price to refine this pill and they had gathered several Pill Masters a year or two earlier to create this pill.


    The Shedding Spiritual Pill was the largest bet this time and no one would have thought that this prize would have been won by an unfamous disciple from the Broken Moon Clan.


    No.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t unfamous anymore. Ever since he won first place, his name was recorded into the books of history and his fame was spread across the Sky Cloud Forest areas.


    On the day that the Alliance Banquet ended, the top ten went to receive their rewards.


    First place received a Shedding Spiritual Pill and ten thousand low grade primal crystal stones, which was worth one million substandard primal crystal stones.


    Apart from that, the top three all had the right to enter the Origin Core Ruins.


    Under the eyes of greed, envy, jealousy and unwillingness, Zhao Feng received the Shedding Spiritual Pill.


    The Shedding Spiritual Pill was placed in a jade case and the Spiritual pill that was the size of a thumbnail was pure green with a transparent purple on the surface.


    When the case was shaken, the surface of the spiritual pill would ripple beautifully.


    Zhao Feng had a 100% chance of reaching the next Sky by using this pill.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, the price of this pill is too high. I recommend you to eat it as soon as possible so that nothing unexpected will happen.¡± First Elder said solemnly.

 240 Effect of the Shedding Spiritual Pill

    First Elder¡¯s suggestion moved Zhao Feng¡¯s heart.


    The Shedding Spiritual Pill was a Tier 3 Spiritual Pill and it was considered to be one of the most precious ones out of all of the Tier 3 pills.


    This pill could not only increase the chance of breaking through to the True Spirit Realm, it could also guarantee the breakthrough of one Sky.


    At this moment, there were who knows how many people who were jealous and envious of Zhao Feng¡¯s Shedding Spiritual Pill.


    Under the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s senses, Zhao Feng could detect the pairs of red and green eyes.


    Even participating disciples of the same Clan, such as Yang Gan, Bei Moi, Quan Chen and co., were all envious and moved by the Shedding Spiritual Pill.


    ¡°Master, I just reached the 6th Sky not long ago. Would it be too rash to eat the Shedding Spiritual Pill now?¡±


    Zhao Feng was very calm and was not deceived by the Shedding Spiritual Pill¡¯s effects.


    The consolidation of one¡¯s cultivation contributed to the ease of breaking through.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s foundation at the Consolidated Realm was very good and therefore, his cultivation was very stable at the Ascended Realm.


    But this time, he had only reached the 6th Sky a couple days ago.


    Eating the Shedding Spiritual Pill right now might be a bit rushed.


    Cang Yuyue was an example. Her seed of sword intent had just been condensed and her mind was injured, hence the flaws that gave Zhao Feng a chance.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, I admire the fact that you haven¡¯t been deceived by the short term gains.¡±


    First Elder smiled and exchanged glances with the Broken Moon Clan Master.


    The Broken Moon Clan Master and Granny Liuyue both nodded their head in praise.


    The impression that Zhao Feng gave them in the Floating Crest Trial was ¡®wicked¡¯ and it was only now that they realised how deep this youth had hidden himself to win the Alliance Banquet.


    ¡°Martial nephew Zhao Feng, you¡¯ve considered all of the aspects haven¡¯t you? This Spiritual Pill can increase your chances of breaking to the True Spirit Realm from the peak 7th Sky and therefore, it contains a lot of energy inside. After you eat this pill, we¡¯ll put our forces into your body to slow down the rate of release of energy so that you have more time.¡± The Broken Moon Clan Master said.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head - the Broken Moon Clan Master and his Master would have also considered what he thought.


    Therefore, without any hesitation, he ate the Shedding Spiritual Pill.


    This action caused the hearts of many people to hurt and the light of jealousy in their eyes faded by over half.


    If Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t eaten the Shedding Spiritual Pill, they still had a chance.


    But now, Zhao Feng had eaten it and there was nothing that they could do.


    ¡°Sit down, we¡¯ll help you slow the release of the energy.¡± Granny Liuyue warned.


    Zhao Feng sat crossed legged on the ground and he felt an eruptive power spread throughout his bones and blood. It contained a cool feeling which traveled into his mind.


    The former was a power that could increase one¡¯s body strength and the latter was an invisible power that increased Zhao Feng¡¯s senses.


    In that instant, he felt all his acupuncture points breath and the whisp of coolness touched everywhere.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness seemed to leave his body and touch the Yuan Qi of the heavens and earth.


    Yuan Qi contained the power of fire, wind¡­ And Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning.


    The interaction of these elements happened in Yuan Qi.


    ¡°These senses¡­ Does it belong to the True Spirit Realm?¡±


    In every breath, Zhao Feng felt the Yuan Qi interact with his body and the elements of Lightning and Wind felt very close to him.


    He understood that this was a short-term effect brought upon by the Shedding Spiritual Pill and it could close down the distance between him and Yuan Qi.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat the size of a palm appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder.


    At the same time, three powerful sources of energy poured into Zhao Feng¡¯s body which dissolved the Shedding Spiritual Pill¡¯s medicinal properties and pushed them into every corner of his body.


    These sources of energy were called the Qi of True Spirit which was the same as True Force but used by those at the True Spirit Realm.


    Those at the True Spirit Realm had undergone an evolution and could absorb the Yuan Qi of the heavens and earth for themselves. They could form the Qi of True Spirit, which was much higher grade than True Force.


    A wisp of Qi of True Spirit could instantly defeat ten True Forces of the same quantity. This was the difference between them.


    Back when Zhao Feng returned to the Zhao family, a wisp of his True Force easily crippled Yu Tianhua¡¯s cultivation.


    This was the difference in power.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng obviously wouldn¡¯t give up the chance to experience the Qi of True Spirit.


    The little thieving cat sat lazily on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and sizzles of Qi of True Spirit was pulled away from Zhao Feng¡¯s body and absorbed into its body.


    This scene stunned First Elder, the Clan Master and Granny Liuyue.


    The Qi of True Spirit was extremely strong and without lifeforms of the same level, any absorption of the Qi of True Spirit could result in self destruct.


    This was similar to how a martial artist at the Consolidated Realm couldn¡¯t withstand the True Force of a cultivator at the Ascended Realm.


    A wisp of True Force could easily destroy a normal martial artist¡¯s Inner Strength.


    The Qi of True Force was the same. Apart from the high quality, it also had a bit of consciousness connected to the owner.


    Zhao Feng also found that the compatibility of Qi of True Force and Yuan Qi was very high. Experts at the True Spirit Realm could use the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth to body strengthen themselves.


    Time ticked away.


    Zhao Feng sat still and focused on experiencing the increase in senses. Under the effect of the Shedding Spiritual Pill, he could enter an entirely new level for a short amount of time.


    At this moment, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was controlling every detail of his body, including the interaction with Yuan Qi.


    If he could comprehend this process, his chances of breaking through to the True Spirit Realm would be higher than the others.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    First Elder and co. found something weird.


    The bloodline power in Zhao Feng¡¯s body flashed azure and it didn¡¯t seem to fear the Qi of True Spirit at all. On the contrary, it absorbed some of it and turned it into Zhao Feng¡¯s potential.


    The cat and human were both mysterious.


    The people watching couldn¡¯t see the changes happening in Zhao Feng¡¯s body, but they could see that the little thieving cat could withstand the Qi of True Spirit, which was extremely surprising.


    An hour later.


    The heightened senses that Zhao Feng was experiencing was starting to fade. The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had already memorised the details of that process.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng found that his current senses were much stronger than before - especially the interaction between him and Yuan Qi. It was several times stronger than before.


    Zhao Feng seemed to be able to connect his True Force to the outside world and absorb Yuan Qi into his body, although the amount was very small.


    ¡°Not bad, Feng¡¯er¡¯s comprehension is comparable to those at the half step True Spirit Realm. The Shedding Spiritual Pill does indeed live up to its name.¡±


    First Elder was full of smiles.


    At this moment, the properties of the Shedding Spiritual Pill in Zhao Feng¡¯s body had been divided into several groups and the rate of absorption was slowed down several times. Part of it was also absorbed by his bloodline, which turned it into potential.


    But even then, Zhao Feng excreted several times in the next few hours.


    His body had been changed and his flesh and bones contained more pure life.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s skin was crystal white and it was even softer than a woman¡¯s.


    After this Shedding Spiritual Pill, more than 90% of the impurities inside his body had been excreted.


    ¡°Peak 6th Sky¡­ the Shedding Spiritual Pill is indeed worthy of its name.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his eye.


    In just a couple hours time, he had almost reached the 7th Sky and the True Force in his body was adapting to his cultivation.There was still some remaining medicinal properties which were slowly changing his body.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, within three days, you¡¯ll be able to reach the 7th Sky.¡±


    First Elder and co. took back their Qi of True Spirit and smiled at the success.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline and body seemed to be different to others and it could absorb more medicinal properties than others of the same cultivation.


    Therefore, First Elder and co. didn¡¯t use too much energy.


    This was the advantage of having good talent.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, you¡¯ll be going to the Dragon Concealing Lake to gain insights from the Origin Core Ruins. This is one of the most precious places in the Sky Cloud Forest area.¡± First Elder warned.


    Apart from the Shedding Spiritual Pill, Zhao Feng also had the great fortune to enter the Origin Core Ruins.


    If he was to comprehend something from there, the benefits might be even greater than the Shedding Spiritual Pill.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and started to consolidate his cultivation while waiting to enter the Ruins tomorrow.


    He had gained some insights from the battles in the Alliance Banquet and after eating the Shedding Spiritual Pill and experiencing the Qi of True Spirit and Yuan Qi, it would take some time to dissolve all of this information.


    It was good that he had copied some of the important sceneries and details into his mind.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s power of copying wasn¡¯t limited to books, it could also mirror sceneries and intent.


    Of course, this power couldn¡¯t copy everything. If the scene was full of insights, it would be hard to copy.


    Time flew quickly by and the second day had arrived.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s energy had reached its peak and his cultivation had exceeded Yang Gan¡¯s.


    ¡°The limit of the 6th Sky.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath and the eyes of First Elder and co. also lit up.


    Zhao Feng seemed to be able to absorb more energy than they imagined.


    Only Hai Yun Master¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    The high authority of the Broken Moon Clan took Zhao Feng to the Dragon Concealing Lake as the Origin Core Ruins was at the bottom of the Dragon Concealing Lake.


    The Thirteen Clans needed three experts at the True Mystic Rank to create a pathway into the Origin Core Ruins.


    The True Spirit Realm was split into three Heavens - the True Human Rank, True Mystic Rank and True Lord Rank.


    The True Mystic Rank was the second Heaven and they had already comprehended their own root of Laws.


    First Elder, who had the highest cultivation in the Broken Moon Clan, was only at the peak True Human Rank.


    Dragon Concealing Lake.


    The three experts at the True Mystic Rank floated midair like they didn¡¯t have any weight.


    The three suddenly shouted at the same time and the Yuan Qi in a ten mile radius started to flow.


    Qiu-- Qiu--- Qiu---


    Three beams of white, purple and scarlet light interacted, creating a three coloured light that shot up into the sky and created a ¡®spatial abyss¡¯ several miles long at the bottom of the lake.


    That dominant power seemed to shake the earth and made the hearts of others at the True Spirit Realm shake.


    This was the first time that Zhao Feng had seen the power of those at the True Mystic Rank and the power seemed to exceed the limits of nature.

 241 Nightmare

    The True Mystic Rank was the second Heaven of the True Spirit Realm and these people stood at the pinnacle of the Sky Cloud Forest. A flip of their hand could make it rain.


    Across the entire Sky Cloud Forest area, the number of those at the True Mystic Rank hadn¡¯t exceeded the amount of fingers on one hand.


    For example, no one in the Broken Moon Clan had reached the True Mystic Rank in the past thousand years.


    The strongest Moon Clan, the ¡®Lin Moon Clan¡¯ had an expert at the True Mystic Rank a couple hundred years ago, but he had left the area of Sky Cloud Forest not long after he broke through and headed towards the centre of the Northern Continent. Nothing was heard from him ever since then.


    The three experts at the True Mystic Rank were from the Cloud Sword Clan, Ancient Shrine and True Mystic Clan, representing the strongest three Clans of the Thirteen Clans.


    Even the expressions of the group from the Iron Dragon Country moved when they saw the three at the True Mystic Rank.


    At this moment, the aura from the three at the True Mystic Rank spread across the whole area and they were the leaders of the Thirteen Clans.


    Usually, these people were Grand Elders and it was a rare sight to see them. But the once every ten years Alliance Banquet was also special and it required experts at the True Mystic Rank to open the path to the Origin Core Ruins,


    ¡°Open the array.¡±


    The Qi of True Spirit from the three experts at the True Mystic Rank connected to the earth and the ¡®spatial abyss¡¯ kept on expanding.


    Around the spatial abyss was a wall of water. If it collapsed, the weight would be counted by hundreds of millions of kilograms.


    The wall of water surrounding the spatial abyss kept on expanding until it reached the Origin Core Ruins at the bottom of the lake.


    Zhao Feng God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned it and he analysed that this path was created by an array and it needed three experts at the True Mystic Rank and a unique way to open it.


    ¡°Don¡¯t waste any time. The array¡¯s power can only last half a day and after that no one will be able to stay.¡±


    The three experts at the True Mystic Rank floated at three corners respectively.


    Under the crowd''s gaze, Zhao Feng, Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong headed towards the spatial abyss.


    Qiu----


    Zhao Feng lept into the air and with the flash of lightning, he became a blur that surpassed Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong.


    In terms of speed alone, Zhao Feng easily beat Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong. His actions seemed to prove that his position as the Top Star was unmovable.


    The Lightning Inheritance increased his speed greatly and this was still without using his bloodline power and Yin Shadow Cloak.


    The three at the True Mystic Rank saw all of this.


    The Grand Elder from the Cloud Sword Clan was a silver haired cultivator of the sword and he was expressionless.


    In his eyes, even those at the True Human Rank were nothing and this was just a junior.


    The Grand Elder from the True Mystic Clan was an old daoist who glanced at Zhao Feng with meek eyes.


    These two only looked at Zhao Feng once.


    Only the Grand Elder from the Ancient Shrine, a purple haired youth with a red mole in the middle of his forehead, scanned Zhao Feng with coldness.


    This made the latter hiccup.


    The Grand Elder from the Ancient Shrine seemed to have ill-intent for him.


    Of course, with his cultivation, he would be too disdainful to attack a junior, even if Zhao Feng was the top genius.


    Zhao Feng was slightly frustrated. Although he came first, he was still nothing in the eyes of the experts at the True Mystic Rank. So why would he have ill intent towards him?


    At least the Grand Elders of the Cloud Sword Clan and True Mystic Clan didn¡¯t seem to have ill intent towards him.


    Even if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t come first, it wasn¡¯t like the Ancient Shrine would be first. And since the Cloud Sword Clan¡¯s elder was so expressionless, this meant that the Ancient Shrine¡¯s actions were not normal.


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered how in the Ancient Temple, the hooded figure was also from the Ancient Shrine and he didn¡¯t seem to have a low position in the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    After that mission, Zhao Feng had told First Elder and First Elder had also discussed this fact in the Three Clan Party.


    For this, the three Clans cleansed all the suspicious figures in their Clans and they tried to find spies in their Clans.


    The result was that the forces of the Scarlet Moon Religion had only affected the outer layer of people.


    Sou- Sou- Sou-


    The three Stars had entered the spatial abyss under the gaze of all the Clanspeople.


    Whilst traveling downwards, Zhao Feng heard the sound of water being blocked. The hundred of millions of kilograms of water was being forced out of the path.


    Zhao Feng, Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong followed the path to the bottom of the lake and a giant hole the radius of tens of miles appeared.


    Before the three arrived, they felt a powerful mystic force reverberate around the hole which seemed to have the power to crush the several hundred millions kilograms of water.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s feet felt cold as he felt his blood and flesh become suppressed by a domination aura, causing him to be unable to breath.


    The three had a feeling like there was an expert who could flip the oceans and pierce through the heavens sitting in the hole.


    ¡°This is the remaining power of intent which still remains connected to the heavens, causing unbelievable power.¡±


    Zhao Feng was full of respect.


    Ceng Ceng Ceng!


    The three floated inside the hole and the remaining power of intent became stronger.


    The Yuan Qi in the hole was in a very weird state and it seemed to repulse everything that came near.


    Hong Long!


    The wall of water above the hole became calm once more and the several hundred million kilograms of water fell back down.


    Zhao Feng felt like he couldn''t breath. Just 1% of that power could grind him into powder.


    How was a body made of blood and flesh able to block the mass of several hundred million kilograms?


    The next scene shocked them.


    When the water came near the hole, its speed suddenly slowed down.


    ¡°This ground in this hole isn¡¯t wet. Could it be¡­ ?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    As he thought this, the water was all blocked from entering the Ruins.


    This place was the cleanest piece of land under the lake.


    Not a single drop of water was able to enter it.


    ¡°Without the array¡¯s power, we wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the Ruins.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes flashed as she surveyed the dark blue water above them.


    After that, the three went their separate ways to gain insights.


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and surveyed the entire hole. He analysed that the area that was tens of miles wide had been created by a thrust of a palm.


    ¡°If the Concealed Dragon really had such terrifying strength, then he would only need a few breaths to topple the Sky Moon Mountain. The defensive array of the Sky Moon Mountain wouldn¡¯t be able to block this.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a cold breath.


    At the edges of the hole, one could see the fingerprints and fingertips, forming a whole palm.


    This was like a palm of the heavens, limitless in power.


    Zhao Feng finally understood why experts at the Origin Core Realm had become legends in this continent.


    Experts at this level had devastating power and they were existences that could destroy the balances of life.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure moved through the hole and surveyed the area.


    Soon, he found an old and tattered futon which had stronger power of intent on it.


    Zhao Feng opened his bloodline power and he was barely able to move near the futon.


    Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng only felt a deafening roar in his senses and the turning of the water.


    Of course, everyone¡¯s experiences were all different.


    This ruins should be the Concealed Dragon¡¯s place of cultivation. But somehow, even after thousands of years, the power of intent hadn¡¯t faded away.


    The mystery of the world wasn¡¯t something that Zhao Feng could solve at his level.


    ¡°The power doesn¡¯t seem like water nor wind or lightning¡­ But it seems to survey the heavens and earth, controls water, fire and lightning¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    When they were comprehending insights, sceneries would flash through their minds and Zhao Feng found that the Concealed Dragon¡¯s power wasn¡¯t different to normal peoples and it could control other elements.


    For a deeper experience, Zhao Feng circulated his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and the sceneries that he experienced became even clearer.


    In the scenery, the lake swirled and splashed. Under the roar, an existence seemed to control lightning, wind and water.


    There seemed to be 9 figures of Dragons in the clouds.


    That aura almost blocked Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power and made it excited.


    ¡°Could it be that the Concealed Dragon also has a bloodline? Is that why he has the word Dragon in his title?¡±


    Zhao Feng had his own guesses in his heart.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared and it sat on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder while surveying the place with its crystal black eyes.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng, Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong were all comprehending that scene.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s key point was the ability to control lightning as he wished as well as the Concealed Dragon¡¯s comprehension.


    The laws of lightning here was even more profound than the first level of the Lightning Inheritance.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension of the Lightning Inheritance was increasing by leaps and bounds and some parts that couldn¡¯t be understood before were all resolved now.


    The peak 6th level of the Lightning Wind Palm was also progressing forwards and it was recreating the old skill.


    Time flew quickly by.


    Everyone only had half a day''s time in the ruins and right now, only 4 hours had passed.


    The spatial abyss had been closed by the water and it was calm once more.


    No one above could see the situation below.


    Because the Alliance Banquet had ended, most of the Clans were leaving right now.


    Qiu!


    Right at this moment, an aura at the True Spirit Realm flashed through the air.


    The newcomer was an elder of the Cloud Sword Clan and he was very hurried.


    ¡°Grand Elder, not good!¡±


    The elder from the Cloud Sword Clan shouted urgently.


    ¡°What happened?¡± The silver haired sword user said expressionlessly.


    ¡°Half a month ago, the Iron Dragon Country crushed the Sky Rich Country and two of the 7 factions of the Sky Rich Country have been destroyed while another three have surrendered. Amidst the defeated ones was the Sky Rich Country¡¯s number one faction, the ¡®Sky Wind Pavilion¡¯... ¡±


    What!?


    The Sky Rich Country had lost? The Sky Wind Pavilion was destroyed?


    All of the older generation of the Thirteen Clans exclaimed and feared for their lives.


    Every one knew what it meant if the Iron Dragon Country defeated the Sky Rich Country.

 242 Lightning Barrier

    This was a nightmare for the Thirteen Clans.


    Even the expressions of the impassive experts at True Spirit Realm changed drastically.


    Everyone knew that the Thirteen Countries of the Sky Cloud Forest lived between these two countries and that the war between the two countries was actually a clash between the factions of the two countries.


    Once the balance between the two countries was broken, it would affect the Thirteen Countries of the Sky Cloud Forest.


    The Broken Moon Clan were also stunned.


    ¡°The Sky Rich Country and Iron Dragon Country were always equal. What occurred for this to happen so suddenly?¡±


    First Elder¡¯s expression was extremely solemn and uneasy.


    These two strong countries were existences that the thirteen countries could only look up to. Their clans and sects were also significantly greater.


    ¡°The Sky Wind Pavillion is the leader of the 7 Clans from the Sky Rich Country. They had 3 to 4 experts from the True Mystic Rank experts alone, and their heritage is extremely ancient. How could they¡­.¡±


    The Broken Moon Clan Master¡¯s face was filled with disbelief.


    The Sky Wind Pavillion, the strongest force within the Sky Rich Country could destroy the Thirteen Clans with one hand and was ten times stronger than the Broken Moon Clan.


    It was inconceivable for such a faction to be destroyed within such a short amount of time!


    What happened at that battle?


    What help did the Iron Dragon Country receive for them to destroy the Sky Rich Country so quickly?


    Questions popped up from within the Thirteen Clans.


    ¡°From my knowledge, there seemed to be the interference from the spawns of the Scarlet Moon Religion. Over the past few days, the Sky Rich Country had asked our Thirteen Clan¡¯s for help. May I dare ask Grand Elders¡­..?¡±


    The reporting elder of the Cloud Sword Clan asked respectfully.


    The three experts at the True Mystic Rank stood at the pinnacle of the Sky Cloud Forest and had the power to decide the fate of the Thirteen Clans.


    Furthermore, all the people with high authority from the Thirteen Clans were present.


    The crowd had grave expressions as the three Grand Elders and the top authority from each of the clans gathered together.


    ¡°Once the Iron Dragon Country destroys the Sky Rich Country, their next target will be us.¡±


    ¡°If our Thirteen Clans combine our forces and assist the Sky Rich Country, we may be able to turn the situation.¡±


    ¡°The spawns of the Scarlet Moon Religion have interfered with this war, hence it won¡¯t be as simple as it seems. For assurance, we should ask the Sacred Ground for help.¡±


    The Thirteen Clans began to discuss.


    In the middle of the discussion, someone began to speak, ¡°Did the Iron Dragon Country send people over to watch this time?¡±


    This sentence caused the gazes of the Thirteen Clans to shift.


    On the spectating stand, the group from the Iron Dragon Country sat quietly with mocking expressions.


    A silver masked noble woman stood up as she laughed, ¡°This is the moment of life and death for your Thirteen Clans.¡±


    ¡°Either choose to bow down to the Iron Dragon Country or die.¡±


    A cold and casual voice came from the mysterious figure in black.


    The silver masked woman and black figure stood shoulder to shoulder as they emanated the Qi of True Spirit.


    True Mystic Rank.


    The higher-ups of the Thirteen Clans were stunned.


    No one would have thought that there would be two experts of the True Mystic Rank watching.


    The silver masked woman¡¯s aura was on par with the three Grand Elders but the figure in black¡¯s aura was even greater, hence surpassing the three Grand Elders.


    At this moment, the group from the Iron Dragon Country all released their auras. Those at the True Spirit Realm had reached a dozen whereas the rest were either at the 7th Sky or half-step True Spirit Realm.


    The Thirteen Clans was stunned at first but then laughed coldly in disdain.


    ¡°Hmph! Do you think you can threaten us with just this amount of people?¡±


    ¡°Hehehe, aren¡¯t you scared of being defeated by us? You only brought along two experts at the True Mystic Rank.¡±


    Indeed, there was quite a lot of experts from the Thirteen Clans here. Over a third of the present people were of mid to high authority of each Clan and were numbered over several hundred.


    In comparison, the Iron Dragon Country¡¯s group was much smaller.


    ¡°Hehe, really?¡±


    The mysterious figure in black laughed lightly as he held out a black flag.


    Shua!


    The black flag fluttered as eight beams of black light shot into the air, creating fumes that enveloped the entire island.


    Almost instantly.


    Black and red dots appeared in the air around the Dragon Concealing Lake and flew towards the island.


    ¡°That is..!?¡±


    The experts at True Spirit Realm heard the sound of fluttering.


    Just a few breaths later.


    The black and red dots became larger and turned into blood coloured giant eagles, each spanning dozens of yards. They were like a blood cloud as they carried ten to twenty people on each one.


    There was 18 of these blood-colored eagles and each of these eagles had at least an expert at True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Blood Cloud Giant Eagles? Could they be the ones that the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had once secretly created?¡±


    ¡°The 9 Forces of the Iron Dragon, you dare to work with spawns of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion!?¡±


    The Thirteen Clan Alliance roared angrily.


    On the Iron Dragon Country¡¯s side the figure in black and silver masked woman laughed coldly.


    From the beginning of the Alliance Banquet till now they were watching a show.


    Their aim was to stop the Thirteen Clans from supporting the Sky Rich Country.


    ¡°Instead of defending these clowns, it¡¯s better if we take the initiative and attack.¡±


    ¡°Zhe zhe, the Alliance Banquet of these little clans is the perfect opportunity for us to break them all at once.¡±


    The experts from the Iron Dragon Country revealed savage expressions.


    The black figure in the front held up the black flag as he spoke loudly, ¡°This is your final chance. Die or obey.¡±


    The crowd was dead silent.


    From the current situation, the Iron Dragon Country¡¯s side was on par with the Thirteen Clans and there wasn¡¯t much of a difference.


    ¡°What are we scared of? Let¡¯s just team up and gather more of our forces after we escape.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. We have one more person at the True Mystic Rank.¡±


    The higher-ups of the Thirteen Clans discussed through spiritual exchange and soon came to an agreement.


    The Thirteen Clans were an Alliance and had experience in teaming up to fight enemies.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The experts of True Spirit Realm led the charge towards the Iron Dragon Country.


    The air was instantly filled with sounds of battle and beams of light.


    A battle between the world of cultivation had begun.


    ¡°Go.¡±


    The mysterious black figure snickered coldly and waved the black flag but the group from the Iron Dragon Country behind him unexpectedly didn¡¯t move.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡±


    Screams and howls came from within the Thirteen Clans.


    Many figures abruptly began attacking their own alliance.


    ¡°What¡­ what¡¯s going on?¡±


    The Thirteen Clans were still puzzled at what was going on.


    The Broken Moon Clan Master side was also stunned.


    ¡°Watch out for the spies!¡±


    First Elder reacted but just as he finished his words, a group from within the Broken Moon Clan made their move.


    The leader of this group was Hai Yun Master.


    ¡°Hai Yun¡­ you¡­¡±


    The Broken Moon Clan Master hmphed and blood leaked from her mouth as her back was hit by Hai Yun Master¡¯s palm.


    Along with Hai Yun Master was several mid-authority Deacons and Vice Heads.


    Similar situations happened across other Clans as each clan¡¯s spies attacked.


    This wasn¡¯t the worst since true spies were limited in number.


    The most terrifying part was the betrayal of the entire Ancient Shrine.


    The red mole on the forehead of the purple-haired youth, who was the Grand Elder of the Ancient Shrine suddenly ejected a dark red lightning snake which hit the Grand Elder of the Cloud Sword Clan.


    ¡°You¡­ you guys actually¡­¡±


    The silver haired cultivator of the Cloud Sword Clan spat out blood as he was attacked.


    The other dozen clans were stunned.


    The entire Ancient Shrine had betrayed the Alliance!


    ¡°A bunch of dumb ants. The Ancient Shrine was one of the Sub-Divisions of the Scarlet Moon Religion several hundred years ago. Now the time is ripe. The Patriach¡¯s revival is near. It is time for the Scarlet Moon Holy Religion to once again return to this continent!¡±


    The purple haired youth was full of mockery.


    The red mole in his forehead twitched as wisps of mental energy spread out.


    No one knew what skill he used but all the experts of the Alliance began to fight one another with bloodshot eyes.


    The entire island had fallen into slaughter.


    Before the Alliance could react, they were surrounded by the Iron Dragon Country.


    ¡°Kill them all.¡±


    The mysterious leader in black waved the black flag.


    At the bottom of the lake, the Origin Core Ruins.


    Zhao Feng, Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong were all mesmerised in their comprehension.


    The intent contained in the Ruins was great even for Cang Yuyue who specialised in the sword.


    As for Zhao Feng, he was comprehending the Lightning Inheritance.


    As time passed, his aura became to slowly rise.


    On one hand, it was the comprehension in insights which replenished his mental energy and on the other, the remaining medicinal properties of the Shedding Spiritual Pill was changing his body.


    At a certain moment.


    Arcs of lightning like a spiderweb circulated Zhao Feng.


    These arcs of lightning formed an azure lightning barrier.


    ¡°This is the ¡°Lightning Barrier¡±. Anything that gets close to my body will be destroyed by the arcs of lightning.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    After comprehending the Lightning Barrier, it meant that he had reached high mastery of the First level in the Lightning Inheritance.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wind Palm had reached the 7th level. which was also the highest level.


    Pipa!


    Zhao Feng opened his hand as an arc of lightning as thick as a finger appeared on his palm.


    Boom----


    The azure lightning sped off as it blew a hole in the ground, causing black smoke to rise.


    ¡°En, my cultivation is almost there¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that the purity of his True Force was comparable to the 7th Sky, hence his current cultivation could be considered to be at the 7th Sky.


    ¡°Haha! I¡¯ve gained a lot.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head while smiling.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat on his shoulder threw up the bronze coin before it shook its head at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind was connected to the little thieving cat¡¯s mind and confirmed what the bad news was.


    He immediately circulated his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and looked up through the water and saw the blurry scenes above.


    Why is it like this?


    Zhao Feng was stunned when he saw this scene, cold sweat appeared on his forehead as an icy chill spread throughout his body.

 243 Escape

    The scene before him stunned Zhao Feng - he would never forget it in his life.


    Above the island, the clouds seemed to be torn apart as the battle between the True Mystic Rank caused waves of wind to blow in every direction.


    In mid air.


    The battle between the experts at True Human Rank caused a tornado which ripped the disciples at the Ascended Realm into shreds, causing blood and flesh to scatter everywhere.


    On land, the present disciples were all running in fear.


    In just a few breaths, Zhao Feng witnessed disciples whom he had fought be gruesomely slaughtered.


    Although the Iron Dragon Country didn¡¯t have many people, the weakest were at 6th Sky whilst the majority were at 7th Sky or higher.


    These cultivators were all people who had been in countless battles and had great experience.


    They came from the battlegrounds of the two countries, and under normal situations, they were able to take on two disciples at the same cultivation due to their fierceness.


    For some unknown reason, the Thirteen Clans had broken into chaos and did not band together in order to fight.


    The most important point was that in terms of True Mystic Rank experts, the Thirteen Clans was also suppressed.


    Due to the betrayal of the Ancient Shrine¡¯s Grand Elder, the Thirteen Clans only had two experts at True Mystic Rank, but the Grand Elder of the Cloud Sword Clan had been injured.


    At this moment.


    The purple haired youth from the Ancient Shrine and the silver masked woman suppressed the Grand Elders of the Cloud Sword Clan and the True Mystic Clan.


    As for the mysterious black figure leader, he was holding the black flag and occasionally made a move to kill experts at the True Spirit Realm.


    The black figure leader was the heart of the Iron Dragon Country and controlled who lived and who died.


    The Thirteen Clans were forced into a desperate situation and could only fight for themselves.


    At the bottom of the lake.


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath before calming down.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye suddenly found a group heading towards his direction, and the group was the Broken Moon Clan.


    Of course the Broken Moon Clan was also being pursued, Hai Yun Master was a part of the pursuers.


    First Elder and Granny Liuyue were filled with rage and helplessness as they ran.


    The former¡¯s eyes would occasionally gaze towards the Origin Core Ruins.


    ¡°It looks like Master wants to save me on the way.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was filled with gratitude and warmth.


    Under this desperate situation everyone was fighting for themselves so it wasn¡¯t rare to not help anyone.


    Upon seeing this situation, Zhao Feng stopped hesitate and activated his bloodline power as well as his True Force, causing the crackling of thunder to appear.


    Instantly, his aura rose as he officially stepped into the 7th Sky.


    Using the remaining medicinal properties, Zhao Feng¡¯s breakthrough was successful and fully complete.


    At the same time, he told the news to Cang Yuyue who was nearby.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s heart shook as she heard the news and a light flashed in her eyes.


    She was suspicious, but when she saw the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, every doubt dissipated.


    After comprehending the seed of sword intent, she had a sense for danger. The battle above was also quite loud, they could hear it even though they were at the bottom of the lake.


    ¡°Let¡¯s charge our way out together.¡±


    Zhao Feng and Cang Yuyue exchanged glances as they dove up into the water and swam towards the surface.


    As for Lin Tong, he had hid in some corner of the Ruins, not daring to stop the two.


    Due to the fact that the situation was extremely dangerous, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have the time to find trouble for Lin Tong, so he charged towards the surface with Cang Yuyue.


    At the moment he had exited the water, the group of the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s people had arrived.


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng had calculated all of this.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er!¡±


    First Elder and Granny Liuyue were both filled with joy. Everything had gone smoother than expected.


    Zhao Feng had come out to meet up with the Clan.


    Swiftly glancing at the group, Zhao Feng had noticed that the Broken Moon Clan had lost over half of the people.


    Hai Yun Master had betrayed them and seriously injured the Clan Master, who then died in the pursuit of the Iron Dragon Country.


    Of the ten core disciples Quan Chen, Yuan Zhi and Bei Moi had all betrayed them along with Hai Yun Master.


    At this moment.


    Three experts at True Spirit Realm leading twenty or so people were pursuing the Broken Moon Clan.


    Qiu----


    An azure lightning suddenly formed in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm which shot out and instantly killed a pursuing cultivator at 7th Sky.


    Such destructive power!


    The eyes of the group from the Broken Moon Clan lit up. It seemed like Zhao Feng had increased in strength once again.


    On the other hand, Hai Yun Master¡¯s killing intent became stronger.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, don¡¯t fight.¡±


    First Elder cautioned amidst his joy.


    The Thirteen Clan Alliance were being slaughtered as of present, and if one was too strong, it would attract attention and bring greater pressure.


    Zhao Feng nodded as he shot out wisps of lightning to the pursuers.


    Pah!


    The wisps of lightning exploded and numbed the bodies of the pursuers, causing their speed to drop.


    ¡°Goodbye Zhao Feng, I need to meet with my Clan.¡±


    Cang Yuyue said before she left.


    The group from the Cloud Sword Clan was several miles away from the current place they were at and under normal situations, it wasn¡¯t far.


    However, at this moment, it was extremely far away.


    ¡°Cang Yuyue, your chances of living if you run with us is at least double. Furthermore, being the top Clan, the force pursuing the Cloud Sword Clan will be several times the number chasing us.¡±


    Zhao Feng persuaded.


    ¡°Thanks for your good will.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s beautiful face was filled with decisiveness, her eyes were sharp.


    Zhao Feng sighed. He knew that Cang Yuyue had her own beliefs, and if there was even the slightest bit of hope, she would meet up with her Clan.


    Jiang!


    The three yard green sword was drawn and under this slash, two cultivators at 7th Sky were slain as she headed towards the direction of the Cloud Sword Clan.


    Her display of strength instantly caused an expert of True Spirit Realm from the Iron Dragon Country who quickly flew over.


    Cang Yuyue had no fear and charged in a straight line.


    As the expert at the True Spirit Realm came, she slashed forwards, the clouds seemed to tear in half!


    However, although she was able to block the True Spirit Realm expert¡¯s blow, she was still injured.


    Luckily the Cloud Sword Clan¡¯s noticed Cang Yuyue and hurried over. The latter was almost slain by the True Spirit Realm but had escaped just in time.


    Yet, this also meant that the Cloud Sword Clan attracted more people and their path of escape was harder.


    Compared to the Cloud Sword Clan, the Broken Moon Clan wasn¡¯t of any importance. They had reached the outer edges but were unable to shrug off the pursuers behind.


    The speed of the experts at True Spirit Realm were insanely fast and it was fated that not all of them would be able to escape.


    First Elder and Granny Liuyue teamed up, and only then were they barely able to keep the three pursuers of the True Spirit Realm at bay.


    Hai Yun Master tried to kill Zhao Feng several times but they all ended in failure.


    This was due to the fact that Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was insanely fast and after comprehending the Lightning Barrier, his defense had increased.


    Furthermore, with Zhao Feng¡¯s current strength, he was able to exchange a blow or two with an expert of True Spirit Realm.


    First Elder and the few Vice Heads of the half-step True Spirit Realm all payed attention to protect Zhao Feng.


    First Elder told the Vice Heads in secret, ¡°Even if we have to die, we still have to save Feng¡¯er. As long as he can survive, he¡¯ll take revenge for us.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know what First Elder said, he could guess what the latter said from the Clan¡¯s actions.


    ¡°First Elder, if you want to protect the lives of the younger generation, you¡¯ll all die together.¡±


    Hai Yun Master said coldly.


    First Elder¡¯s strength was considered strong amongst the True Human Rank experts, and if he wanted to run himself, there wouldn¡¯t be much danger as long as he didn¡¯t face a few experts at the same cultivation.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    First Elder obviously knew what Hai Yun Master meant and thrust forward, causing Hai Yun Master to retreat.


    But amidst the exchange between the True Spirit Realms, there would be occasional casualty.


    Zhao Feng regained his calmness and opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, occasional killing or severely injuring pursuers at the 7th Sky.


    His battle power was even stronger than normal cultivators at half-step True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Master, let me lead the way.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly suggested as his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye glowed azure, it was as if it was an eagle¡¯s eye that could see through the heavens.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    First Elder gave him a deep glance.


    In reality, in this situation no one knew the correct path to survival but everyone chose to believe in Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see very far and could see through things that weren¡¯t very thick.


    ¡°North-West direction.¡±


    Zhao Feng was responsible to lead the way.


    There was only three directions they could run in: West, North-West and South-West.


    There was a small group of enemies in the North-West direction whereas the West and Sourth West direction didn¡¯t have many people there.


    The people from the Broken Moon Clan didn¡¯t know why but two experts at the True Spirit Realm who were pursuing them had strange looks.


    Although the West and South West direction seemed to be empty there was actually greater danger there.


    This was especially so for the West direction. There seemed to be no one there, but in reality there were two experts at the True Human Rank there who could assassinate a Broken Moon Clan elder if they got the chance.


    The direction Zhao Feng chose was North West and there was a group of enemies there including two cultivators at the half step True Spirit Realm and a dozen at the 6th and 7th Sky.


    This group was at the edge of the battle and responsible for clearing out those who had escaped. Although there weren¡¯t very strong it was still a risk for the Broken Moon Clan who was running away.


    Wind Lightning Destruction----


    Azure lightning flashed around Zhao Feng as he charged head first into enemy lines.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, that brat¡¯s gone crazy. He knows we¡¯re here and is still running over.¡±


    The two leaders at the half-step true spirit realm were surprised.


    The combined strength of their group could blow Zhao Feng into dust.


    One hundred yards¡­. Eighty yards¡­.. Sixty yards¡­.


    Zhao Feng closed in swiftly and had left the Broken Moon Clan group. From both sides it seemed like a risky move.


    Twenty yards.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly lit up and as he opened his mouth, a clap of thunder along with mental energy shot towards the group.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The expressions of the leading two half-step true spirit realm¡¯s changed drastically as they felt their blood shake.


    Plop plop!


    The three cultivators at 6th and 7th Sky who were at the front immediately died, blood poured out from their eyes, noses and mouth. Others who weren¡¯t prepared were also hit and almost fell down.


    This was only the start of the nightmare.

 244 The heavens always leave a path

    This group from the Iron Dragon Country had paid the price for underestimating their enemy.


    Zhao Feng instantly used his mental energy sound attack and like a clap of thunder that broke the enemy¡¯s organisation.


    Two to three enemies were instantly killed and over half were lightly injured.


    The two leaders were full of regret; the youth in front of them was actually a dangerous character.


    But it was too late.


    Before they were able to calm down, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes let out a glint as he circulated his bloodline power once again.


    Shua!


    The Yin Shadow Cloak flapped as Zhao Feng turned into an azure stripe, charging towards the enemy.


    The naked eye wasn''t even able to see Zhao Feng - he had obviously held back before.


    Wind Lightning Destruction-----


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was dim, he seemed like a God of Lightning as arcs of lightning surrounded him.


    This group, which had just recovered from the mental energy sound attack, was enveloped by strong surges of lightning causing their limbs to twitch.


    At the same time, a chaotic aura of lightning suppressed them.


    Due to the fact that Zhao Feng activated his bloodline power in that critical moment, apart from the two leaders, the others weren¡¯t able to fight back.


    Peng----


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wind Palm which had reached the 7th level instantly slew one of the leaders at the half-step True Spirit Realm.


    The other leader was severely injured and ran in panic.


    Qiu--


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flickered through the air as it left several afterimages behind.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡±


    Every flicker would result in the death of a cultivator of the 7th Sky.


    A few breaths later.


    The entire group had been slaughtered.


    Both foe and friend alike sucked in a cold breath.


    This was a one-sided slaughter.


    At last.


    Only the severely injured half-step True Spirit Realm leader was alive. Half of his body was burnt black and he was extremely frightened.


    Suddenly, he felt an uneasy coldness from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye which scanned towards him.


    It was as if the eye could see through hearts.


    His mind shook and although he sensed the aura of death, he didn¡¯t realise this was the last moment he would see the world.


    Plop!


    The leader at the half-step True Spirit Realm fell from the air and shattered his bones upon impact.


    The mental energy technique from Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had exceeded Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eye. Not a single person of the same cultivation as him was able to block his glance.


    The leader was severely injured and frightened, he was unable to resist.


    In just a short span of ten breaths, the entire group had been killed by Zhao Feng alone.


    After destroying this group, the Broken Moon Clan arrived. It was unknown whether this timing was coincidental or on purpose.


    The members of the Broken Moon Clan were overjoyed, their morals rose due to this.


    The pursuers from the Iron Dragon Country were filled with coldness and the three at True Human Rank gazed at Zhao Feng with wariness.


    ¡°Continue North-Westwards.¡±


    Zhao Feng continued to lead the way.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see several hundred miles away, it was almost heaven defying.


    After killing this group, there was nothing up ahead that could stop them anymore.


    The only danger lurked from behind.


    Hai Yun Master and two other cultivators at the True Spirit Realm kept on pursuing them.


    First Elder and Granny Liuyue gave their all and only barely blocked the pursuit of the three True Spirit Realm¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as his expression became solemn.


    As long as the three kept pursuing them, it was very unlikely for the Broken Moon Clan to successfully escape.


    No matter how fast he was, he wasn''t faster than the those at the True Spirit Realm and couldn¡¯t keep escaping for long.


    If it was just the three alone, the danger wasn¡¯t as critical but he was scared that reinforcements from the Iron Dragon Country would arrive.


    There was only two plans.


    One: First Elder and Granny Liuyue block the three while the others scatter.


    Two: Slay or severely injured a True Spirit Realm cultivator so that they¡¯d be forced to retreat.


    Up until now, there was only a few people pursuing them apart from the three great True Spirit Realm cultivators.


    ¡°Kill one at the True Spirit Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng continued analysing their chances and found that the probability of success was very low.


    If there was only two experts at the True Spirit Realm pursuing them and had a 2 v2 with the Broken Moon Clan, Zhao Feng estimated that there was a 50% of success.


    But the problem was that there was three experts at the True Spirit Realm chasing them who easily suppressed the two from the Broken Moon Clan.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s slaughtering of the group had raised the attention of the three experts which prevented them from succeeding so easily.


    Therefore the chances of succeeding in slaying one of the three was very low and might have to pay the price with his life.


    Afterall, Hai Yun Master definitely wanted Zhao Feng to die and probably wouldn¡¯t give up a chance so easily.


    These analysis flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    In reality if Zhao Feng could think of this so could First Elder.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, you take everyone and run back to the Cloud Country. If the Cloud Country isn¡¯t safe, then leave the Thirteen Countries¡­.¡±


    First Elder¡¯s urgent voice echoed in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. First Elder wanted to use plan one, but would it succeed?


    ¡°Wind God Vanquish!¡±


    A deep voice sounded.


    Instantly, with First Elder as the centre, beam after beam of green wind shot towards the three experts, forcing them to retreat.


    First Elder¡¯s aura suddenly rose and his Qi of True Spirit seemed to be burning.


    ¡°Old bastard, don¡¯t you want your life? You¡¯re burning the Source of True Spirit.¡±


    Hai Yun Master was shocked and was hit by one of the beams which caused his speed to decrease dramatically.


    At the same time.


    Granny Liuyue¡¯s aura rose rapidly and green light appeared which wrapped themselves around the three at the True Spirit Realm like roots of a tree.


    With the burning of First Elder¡¯s Source of True Spirit the entire situation was turned around.


    Hai Yun Master and co. were forced into a desperate situation.


    At the same time when First Elder ignited his Source of True Spirit he also took out the Mid-grade Spiritual weapon and focused on Hai Yun Master.


    The two from the Iron Dragon Country had their own Spiritual weapons and were able to resist but Hai Yun Master didn¡¯t, hence it left behind several bloody gashes on his body.


    ¡°First Elder!¡±


    ¡°Master!¡±


    The remaining people from the Broken Moon Clan exclaimed.


    Especially Yang Gan, his eyes were wet and his hands were trembling.


    ¡°First Elder¡¯s burning his Source of True Spirit. This is the foundation for those at the True Spirit Realm. When it¡¯s used up there¡¯s the danger of dropping in cultivation.¡±


    The breaths of the Vice Heads became rapid as tears flowed from their eyes.


    ¡°Everyone follow me.¡±


    A cold voice resounded in everyone¡¯s mind.


    The speaker was Zhao Feng. His words seemed to contain an indefinable power.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how can you be so heartless?¡±


    ¡°First Elder is your Master! We can¡¯t leave him!¡±


    Yang Gan and the Vice Heads cried out.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    First Elder¡¯s voice sounded in everyone¡¯s minds.


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t because of you guys dragging him down, Master could easily retreat.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned over Yang Gan and company.


    After saying this he turned around and left.


    The hearts of Yang Gan and company shook, but it was unknown whether it was due to the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s pressure or Zhao Feng¡¯s coldness.


    Although everyone was unsatisfied, they still listened to Zhao Feng.


    This was a youth who had created miracles and won first place in the Alliance Banquet, he gave others a feeling of trust and reliance.


    However.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s display was too cold. There was no sign of him worrying.


    ¡°He doesn¡¯t even care about his Master¡¯s life when his life is on the line.¡±


    One of the Vice Heads murmured.


    Zhao Feng was too disdainful to explain.


    Because of the opening of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng had entered a calm and rational state, throwing away human emotions.


    Under this situation, Zhao Feng undertook the best possible actions.


    Everything First Elder and Granny Liuyue did was for them to escape. Otherwise, with their strength, escaping wouldn''t hard.


    ¡°The further we run the faster Master and Granny Liuyue can retreat and reduce the amount of Yuan Qi spent.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind was clear.


    Before he left, he used the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and shot two lights towards First Elder and Granny Liuyue.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Both First Elder and Granny Liuyue found a mental energy mark on them which maintained a mysterious relationship between them and Zhao Feng.


    ¡°That brat¡¯s mind is still so clear even in such a dangerous situation.¡±


    First Elder and Granny Liuyue exchanged glances and saw praise and warmth in each other¡¯s eyes.


    Zhao Feng seemed cold, but he had secretly left two mental energy marks on the two elders.


    Therefore, the two sides could still help each other.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t give up on the two elders, instead he had it planned out better than everyone else.


    Run.


    Zhao Feng led the group and headed towards complex landscapes.


    As long as they escaped, First Elder and Granny Liuyue wouldn¡¯t be in so much danger anymore.


    Hours later.


    The group had left the Dragon Concealing Lake and entered a complex mountain full of forest.


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. They were safe and through the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he could sense that both First Elder and Granny Liuyue were still alive.


    But right at this moment.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead twitched as he felt uneasy.


    At the same time, a disgusting feeling surged.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared and opened its mouth as it glanced around.


    ¡°Junior, you have the ¡®Ghost Mark¡¯ on you, I can sense it from a thousand miles away.¡±


    A short elder holding a wooden cane stood on the tree in front. He appeared like a ghost out of nowhere.


    ¡°Who are you?¡±


    The hearts of the Broken Moon Clan went cold. This short person had caught up to them without them even realising.


    Only Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat felt something.


    ¡°Ghost Mark?¡±


    Zhao Feng grinded his teeth. The disgusting sickly feeling was left by the mysterious skeleton.


    Even now, he was unable to break this Ghost Mark. It was hard to imagine what level the mysterious skeleton was at.


    ¡°This old man is the 4th Elder of the Ancient Shrine and is here to capture you under the order of the Grand Elder. Brat, are you going to sit still and let me capture you or are you going to make me move?¡±


    The short elder said slowly as if victory was already in grasp.


    The forest was dead silent.


    The breaths from everyone of the Broken Moon Clan turned bitter as the aura of death surrounded them.


    Were they really going to sit there and wait to be captured?


    Zhao Feng felt bitter as his mind analysed the situation but under normal situations, the dozen of them wouldn¡¯t be able to escape unless they had two to three Zhao Feng or Cang Yuyue ranked existences. Only then would they be able to fight against the someone of True Spirit Realm.


    Or maybe under a chaotic situation would Zhao Feng have the chance to survive.


    However, the problem was that the short elder¡¯s target was him.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat flipped the bronze coin even under such a dire situation. One could tell how much of a miser he was.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat put away the coin excitedly, as if the future was looking bright.


    Zhao Feng almost hit it. The enemy was right in front of them and it was just playing around.


    Hong Long ----


    Right at this moment the sky went dim and the clouds moved.


    Hualalala~


    It started raining and from the sky came the sound of thunder.


    It was raining at this time?


    The hearts of everyone from the Broken Moon Clan fell.


    ¡°Thunder rain weather??¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured to himself as the bitterness in his heart disappeared and was replaced by joy, ¡°The heaven¡¯s always leave a path.¡±

 245 Tribulation

    In the forest.


    The sky became dim and the crackle of thunder echoed as rain poured down.


    The hearts of the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s members were already terrible enough and the rain had made it even worse.


    ¡°Is the heavens closing its eyes on us? Making us get wet like dogs before we die?¡±


    Vice Head Li and company were full of sorrow.


    The short elder¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as he stood on the tree. When the rain came near him, it was pushed away by his Qi of True Spirit.


    Obviously, his mood was also affected by the weather.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat happily played with the bronze coin in its paw without concern of danger.


    Zhao Feng lifted his head and let the rain pour down on his face, wetting his clothes. On his face was a smile.


    ¡°All of you retreat. This one would like to see the strength of a person at True Spirit Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s azure hair blew in the wind as an eruptive aura gradually emanated from him.


    Although he had just entered the 7th Sky, the pressure Zhao Feng emitted was even stronger than those at the half-step True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Junior Brother Zhao¡­ you¡­¡±


    ¡°How can you block an expert at the True Spirit Realm alone? Let¡¯s fight together!¡±


    Yang Gan and Vice Head Li exclaimed.


    At this moment, the hearts of the members of the Broken Moon Clan were somewhat filled with guilt.


    They were just talking about how heartless Zhao Feng was during their escape, but at this dangerous moment, it was Zhao Feng who stepped out.


    ¡°All of you retreat. I alone am enough.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cold eyes scanned across the people.


    As his words finished a whirl of wind pushed them away.


    At the same time, the Yin Shadow Cloak on Zhao Feng¡¯s back fluttered as he became an azure streak of lightning, occasionally flickering as he sped through the air.


    ¡°Hehe, little tricks.¡±


    The short elder thought that Zhao Feng was trying to escape and snickered. With the snap of his two fingers, two purple snakes made of air quickly darted towards Zhao Feng.


    The latter who was in mid air felt cold.


    Wind Lightning Destruction!


    Zhao Feng circulated his True Force and bloodline power to the maximum and a glass-like tattoo appeared on his body, causing his attributes to rise to its peak.


    Wind and lightning interacted, creating a whirlwind of lightning which enveloped the short elder¡¯s attack.


    Shua----


    The two purple snakes seemed to have consciousness and had actually passed through the pull of wind and lightning, however, its colour had dimmed by 60-70%.


    But the two streaks of purple still leapt towards Zhao Feng.


    Shuuu---


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed as he condensed a Lightning Barrier around him. He was able to evade one of the streaks but had to block the second one.


    Even though the attack had been weakened to 20-30% of its original power it still caused Zhao Feng to harrumph.


    The other streak passed through several enormous trees and these trees didn¡¯t move but there was a perfect hole from where the snake passed through.


    ¡°Attacks formed from the Qi of True Spirit are unbelievably strong. Even just a wisp of the True Force can kill someone at the Ascended Realm.¡±


    The Lightning Barrier around Zhao Feng became fainter by over half before it started to heal.


    He had used all his power to dissolve a casual move made by an expert at the True Spirit Realm. From this, one could see the difference that cultivation brought.


    Even the Ascended Realm had great differences between every Sky.


    But this was just the difference between one Sky.


    The difference between the Ascended Realm and True Spirit Realm was enormous. The gap couldn¡¯t be closed in on unless one wasn¡¯t human.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The short elder was slightly surprised. He had thought that his attack would have easily taken down Zhao Feng but it had been dissolved by the latter.


    The short elder had seen people who were able to block an attack from someone at the True Spirit Realm but it was the first time to see someone uninjured when they did so.


    ¡°I¡¯m only able to exchange four to five moves against someone at the True Spirit Realm. Even under normal circumstances ten would be the maximum¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he felt the difference between the two.


    He didn¡¯t know that this was incredible in the eyes of those at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, interesting. No wonder you caught the attention of Division Leader who even put a Ghost Mark on you.¡±


    Interest appeared in the short elder¡¯s eyes.


    Division Leader?


    Hearing this Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook as he suddenly remembered the mysterious skeleton in the Sky Cloud Forest.


    At that time the Blood Corpse Protector seemed to be very respectful to this person which he estimated to be a Sub-Division Leader.


    But from the short elder¡¯s mouth, he finally knew that the skeleton was a Division Leader.


    Division Leader. In the Scarlet Moon Religion that was easily the high authority and their strength was immeasurable. At their pinnacle they might¡¯ve even been at the Origin Core Realm.


    As he thought to this point, Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    It was good that the mysterious skeleton seemed extremely weak and was only able to put a Ghost Mark on him, unable to take care of him himself.


    But even under such a weakened state, the Ghost Mark wasn¡¯t even able to be removed by First Elder. From this one could see profound he was.


    ¡°Youngster, let¡¯s see how many moves you can take.¡±


    The short elder¡¯s hands clasped together and a dark purple snake appeared around his body which gave off a terrifying cold aura.


    Zhao Feng understood that the short elder¡¯s attacks contained the erosion of mental energy. After all, he came from the Ancient Shrine.


    It was good that Zhao Feng was very resilient towards mental energy and using his bloodline power, he once again became a blur that flew into the air.


    ¡°I can¡¯t drag this out any longer.¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced at the clouds in the sky and the rain and lightning. No one knew how long they would last.


    Nine Tribulations - Lightning Wind Palm!!


    Zhao Feng exclaimed as the True Force within him began to tremble and the arcs of lightning started to move.


    At the same instant Zhao Feng tried to interact with the Lightning Yuan Qi in the air above.


    According to what the Lightning Wind Palm said, there was a chance to summon the Nine Tribulations Lightning when the weather was full of rain and lightning.


    It was all about luck.


    Under this situation 90% of the cultivators were struck by lightning and died. At best, they would die with the enemy.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wind Palm had been advanced and contained the Lightning Intent.


    The 7th level was the highest level and could summon the Nine Tribulations Power whose power was immeasurable.


    But even then Zhao Feng took a risk - the success rate wasn¡¯t 100%.


    However the later had gained some comprehension in the Origin Core Ruins and understood how to use lightning better, once again changing the original Lightning Wind Palm.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on¡­? Why is the Lightning Yuan Qi condensing together?¡±


    The short elder¡¯s figure stopped as he felt an abnormal aura.


    Hong Long----


    Thunder clapped in the cloud.


    Qiu-----------


    An arc of lightning tens of yards wide and as thick as a tree flew pass Zhao Feng¡¯s head.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s gone crazy¡­. Using lightning to kill himself?¡±


    The short elder was full of shock as he retreated subconsciously.


    Nine Tribulations - Lightning Wind Palm!!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s palm thrust out and the Nine Tribulations Lightning turned towards the short elder.


    What!?


    The short elder was stunned and his face instantly went white. The power from the Nine Tribulations Lightning made his blood freeze.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? How can this brat summon the Lightning of Nature?¡±


    The short elder furiously circulated his Qi of True Spirit as he tried to escape.


    Boom------


    The Nine Tribulation Lightning didn¡¯t strike him directly but a portion of it still hit him.


    The short elder harrumphed as his shoulder became burnt and emitted black smoke.


    Nine Tribulations - Lightning Wind Palm!!


    Zhao Feng put both hands into the air and summoned two arcs of lightning towards the shorty.


    The short elder¡¯s expression was extremely ugly as he tried to dodge but in the end, he was still scraped by a Nine Tribulations Lightning, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.


    This attack caused the short elder to be seriously injured and expend a lot of Yuan Qi to block the Lightning.


    He finally escaped several miles out, which was out of Zhao Feng¡¯s offense range.


    His body was charred black and was severely injured.


    ¡°How could this have happened¡­? Could it be¡­. The weather!?¡±


    The short elder¡¯s expression changed. It wasn¡¯t hard for him to guess the truth.


    At this moment, the short elder¡¯s Yuan Qi had been expended and his body was severely injured. If he didn¡¯t heal himself quickly, there would be problems which could even cause his cultivation to drop.


    ¡°Run.¡±


    The short elder was extremely frustrated and flew away.


    With his tattered body, he wasn¡¯t confident that he could beat Zhao Feng. Furthermore, there was still the group of others there.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng descended from the air, exhausted.


    It might¡¯ve seemed cool and easy to control the Nine Tribulations Lightning, but under normal circumstances, one or two arcs of lightning was the limit. It was due to the fact that he had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and had gained insights in the Ruins which allowed him to be able to summon around ten arcs.


    But the effect was unimaginable.


    Just then, Zhao Feng had almost slain an expert at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°The Nine Tribulations Lightning is, after all, the power of Nature. I can¡¯t control it as I please.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath.


    When he landed on the ground, the members of the Broken Moon Clan were dazed and the Core disciples still seemed to be dreaming.


    Vice Head Li¡¯s mouth was wide open. It was the first time he had seen such a scene.


    The events that had just occurred had defied logic.


    A junior at the Ascended Realm had seriously injured an expert at the True Spirit Realm, forcing the latter to retreat.


    No one would believe him if he said this.

 246 Secret Mission

    In the forest, amidst the lightning and rain.


    The escaping group from the Broken Moon Clan were soaked, but not a sign of unhappiness were on their faces. On the contrary, it was filled with joy and surprise.


    When the expert at the True Spirit Realm had descended, they thought they would die.


    However, their deaths didn¡¯t occur and it was all because of that youth.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing was rapid and his face was paler than before. However, his expression was still calm and his eyes continued to sharply inspect the area.


    At this moment, although everyone gazed towards Zhao Feng as if they were looking at a monster, their eyes were filled with respect and gratitude.


    ¡°Go.¡±


    Zhao Feng gently said as he led the way at the front.


    Hu~


    The entire group continued to run under Zhao Feng¡¯s command, and although the latter was feeling weak, the speed he traveled at wasn¡¯t slow.


    Two hours¡­. Half a day¡­. One day one night¡­.


    Zhao Feng barely rested and squeezed the energy out of the group.


    Following this path, the group didn¡¯t come across any dangers. Not a single Yao beast was encountered.


    Although the group¡¯s mind started spinning as they entered the maze-like forest, Zhao Feng who was at the front was calm and composed. His left eye gleamed with an azure light as though he could see through everything.


    Whenever the path seemed like a dead end, Zhao Feng would surprised them.


    Yang Gan thought that this had something to do with Brother Zhao¡¯s bloodline power.


    Finally, at this day[a].


    Under Zhao Feng¡¯s command, everyone was allowed to rest for half a day.


    The group was exhausted, and Ran Xiaoyuan as well as Lin Fan who had weaker cultivations had almost fainted.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned over the group and thought, ¡°The place we¡¯re currently at is about ten thousand miles away from the battle. The Ghost Mark can only be sensed within a one thousand miles radius.¡±


    The short elder before had been severely injured and his body was almost fully destroyed. If he didn¡¯t recover quickly, it could leave permanent injuries on him.


    Due to the fact that the Iron Dragon Country was cleansing the Thirteen Clans, the most they could do to deal with Zhao Feng was to send one expert at the True Spirit Realm to kill him.


    Thinking up to here Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was full of confidence.


    Four hours later.


    After resting for a while, they had mostly recovered and their faces looked better.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, although we¡¯ve escaped, Master and them¡­.¡±


    Yang Gan was full of worry.


    After the death of the Broken Moon Clan Master First Elder had become the core of the clan. Additionally, due to Hai Yun Master¡¯s betrayal, the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s strength decreased massively.


    ¡°They¡¯re still alive.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye focused in a certain direction and sent out a wisp of azure light that contained mental energy, it seemed to be able to reach the other side.


    Unknowingly, the group felt safe when they heard Zhao Feng¡¯s words.


    Zhao Feng however, was still worried.


    Alive. But this didn¡¯t mean that they had escaped nor that they were safe.


    Being an expert at the True Spirit Realm, the people pursuing First Elder and Granny Liuyue would be much stronger.


    ¡°How about this, Vice Head Li will stay behind while the others will follow Brother Yang back to the Broken Moon Clan in order to warn them to strengthen their defenses. If something seems to be wrong with the Broken Moon Clan, you guys should hide in the Sky Cloud Forest or leave the thirteen countries.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s authority was unshakable.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, be careful.¡±


    Yang Gan looked deeply at Zhao Feng as the others followed the path back to the Broken Moon Clan.


    On the spot.


    Only Zhao Feng and Vice Head Li was left behind.


    Before they left, Ran Xiaoyuan and Lin Fan were full of care and worry.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to imagine why the strongest two of the group were left behind; they stayed behind in order to help First Elder and Granny Liuyue.


    The reason as to why Zhao Feng left Vice Head Li behind was that he was trustworthy and his strength was close to his own.


    If First Elder and Granny Liuyue were pursued by someone of the True Spirit Realm the two of them could help a bit.


    ¡°Let¡¯s head that way.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately chose a direction as though God was guiding him.


    Vice Head Li followed silently behind.


    He didn¡¯t have any ill feelings but felt as if he understood something in life.


    Back then Zhao Feng had only just become an inner disciple and was a youth struggling at the bottom of the Clan.


    But now, just a while later, the youth had risen above him.


    Every decision Zhao Feng made made him feel confident and safe.


    A few hours later.


    The two arrived at a cliff.


    ¡°It¡¯s here.¡±


    Zhao Feng jumped off the cliff and began to fly. With the help of the Yin Shadow Cloak, he was able to fly for a short amount of time.


    Being at the half-step True Spirit Realm, Vice Head Li could also do this and closely followed behind.


    Tens of breaths later Zhao Feng and Vice Head Li arrived at a concealed cave.


    Right at this moment, an aura of the True Spirit Realm descended which caused Vice Head Li¡¯s heart to shake and reveal an expression of fear.


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s me.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice traveled inside the cave and the aura instantly disappeared.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    A cough came First Elder who was within the cave.


    Zhao Feng and Vice Head Li entered the cave was stunned by the scene.


    First Elder¡¯s face was dry and his hair was white. His body was dyed in dried blood and his right arm was dismembered.


    ¡°First Elder, your arm¡­.¡±


    Vice Head Li gazed at the area where the right arm should be.


    Granny Liuyue¡¯s face was pale white and said bitterly, ¡°First Elder used the price of his right arm to kill an opponent at the True Spirit Realm¡­.¡±


    From this scene, one could imagine how terrifying that battle was.


    Zhao Feng silently walked in front of First Elder.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, the Broken Moon Clan saved most of our strength and the important thing is that we survived from this disaster.¡±


    First Elder¡¯s face was filled with praise but his voice was slightly weak.


    Vice Head Li then told the story of their escape which caused First Elder and Granny Liuyue to be overjoyed.


    The two exchanged glances and smiled, ¡°What¡¯s an arm compared to my disciple?¡±


    Next.


    First Elder and Granny Liuyue exchanged glances and seemed to be discussing something.


    ¡°You mean¡­..¡±


    Granny Liuyue seemed shocked.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, the Sky Cloud Forest area is too small. Plus this decision must be made to ensure his safety.¡±


    First Elder said decisively.


    First Elder and Granny Liuyue both nodded their heads as if they had come to an agreement.


    Zhao Feng felt that his destiny was being discussed by the two.


    An hour later.


    After First Elder¡¯s injuries were slightly better, he called Zhao Feng to one side.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, the Broken Moon Clan is in danger right now and I have a secret mission for you.¡±


    First Elder¡¯s expression was solemn and his eyes were full of hope and expectation.


    ¡°I agree.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t ask what the mission was.


    After the merging of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he had become calmer and colder but his emotions didn¡¯t change.


    First Elder was one of the most important people in his life and had protected him in the Clan.


    This time, First Elder had put his life on the line and had lost an arm in order to protect Zhao Feng and company.


    Even if it was for gratitude, Zhao Feng would agree to his Master¡¯s demands.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng was sure that what Master asked would be for his own good.


    First Elder looked deeply at Zhao Feng. There was no need for words. He knew what his disciple was like from a simple action.


    He felt even more lucky for such a good disciple. There would be no regrets.


    ¡°You¡¯ve seen the power of the Iron Dragon Country. It¡¯s not something the Thirteen Clans can stand up to. Furthermore, it was under the support of the Scarlet Moon Religion¡­.¡±


    First Elder said.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and guessed within his mind.


    ¡°Therefore, I¡¯ve decided to send you to the Northern Continent Clans for help.¡±


    First Elder continued.


    Help.


    Zhao Feng confirmed his guesses.


    The current situation was pretty grim for the Thirteen Clans.


    After defeating the Sky Rich Country, the Iron Dragon Country was still able to send forces to fight the Thirteen Clans. The control of the situation caused others to feel cold.


    This meant that the Thirteen Clans was only hit by the remains of the battle between the two countries.


    This place wasn¡¯t even a warzone, it couldn¡¯t even be considered a battlefield.


    ¡°Who would we ask for help?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know much of the situation apart from the Sky Cloud area.


    ¡°There¡¯s around fifty countries as strong as the Iron Dragon Country and Sky Rich Country. Of course, there¡¯s also countries several times stronger than them. But above strong countries there¡¯s also great countries.¡±


    First Elder paused slightly.


    Small countries, Strong countries, Great countries.


    A picture appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    The Thirteen Countries were definitely small countries, unimportant to anyone.


    No small country was able to block strong countries.


    The Clans in the Iron Dragon Country could easily crush the Thirteen Clans.


    However, countries as strong as the Iron Dragon Country and Sky Rich Country weren¡¯t at the peak.


    Because above them were Great countries.


    ¡°There are other strong countries near the Sky Cloud Forest area. If they¡¯re willing to help, the danger in the Thirteen Clans will be resolved. If you¡¯re able to gain help from the Canopy Great country, this matter will be solved easily.¡±


    First Elder smiled as he answered.


    He then took out a map of the Northern Continent.


    THe map was filled with zones and areas.


    ¡°Where¡¯s the Thirteen Countries?¡±


    Zhao Feng copied the map with his left eye and finally found the Thirteen Countries at the right bottom of the map, their territory was the size of a dot.


    However, strong countries such as the Iron Dragon Country and Sky Rich Country had obvious markings.


    ¡°It depends on luck whether or not you¡¯ll be able to get help. The continent is enormous and without enough resources or money, the other countries might not be bothered to come.¡±


    As he spoke up to this point, First Elder¡¯s words turned[c].


    ¡°Asking for assistance isn¡¯t the main goal¡­. I have something else of greater importance to tell you.¡±

 247 True Lord Descending

    ¡°¡­. I have something else of greater importance to tell you.¡±


    As he spoke, a light flashed in First Elder¡¯s eyes but it soon dimmed down as his expression changed incessantly.


    At this moment.


    First Elder was immersed in his memories and expressions of solitude, mockery, regret, and hate flashed across his face.


    Ever since he had become First Elder¡¯s disciple, this was the first time Zhao Feng had seen his Master have such complex expressions.


    ¡°I¡¯m guilty to say this but this mission also regards my personal affairs¡­.¡±


    First Elder regained his composure and took out half a hair-brush made from crystal and handed it to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng gently touched the hair brush and noticed that it was made of a special material which made it comparable to a Mid-grade Mortal weapon.


    A Mid-grade Mortal weapon wasn¡¯t much for the most powerful Elder in the Clan, however, First Elder¡¯s fingers trembled slightly as he handed it over.


    First Elder then immediately took out a pen and paper then quickly wrote a letter to which he gave to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°You need to hand this letter and half of this hair brush to the Liu family of the Canopy Great Country. If the situation in the Thirteen Countries is unable to be saved, this person will help you because of our relationship.¡±


    First Elder solemnly spoke.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned across the letter and saw a few words on it, ¡°Liu Qinxin. Open only.¡±


    A letter, half a hair brush. Both going to the Canopy Great country.


    What was the relationship between the receiver and Master?


    Although Zhao Feng was curious, he didn¡¯t ask. Even if it was for gratitude, Zhao Feng would complete this task without hesitation.


    Furthermore, First Elder was obviously caring for Zhao Feng. It could be said that it was specifically made for him.


    Looking from another perspective.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s talent, staying in the Thirteen Countries would only restrict his growth.


    But if he was able to enter bigger and greater lands, maybe he¡¯d have a different future.


    ¡°You must leave the Thirteen Countries within two months. Moreover, to allow secrecy, you won''t be able to see anyone from now on.¡±


    First Elder said strictly.


    ¡°Master means that I can¡¯t talk to the people of the Clan again?¡±


    ¡°It would be best not to do so.¡±


    First Elder sighed then added, ¡°As for your family, I¡¯ll help them. If you don¡¯t have any worries left, you can leave.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression finally changed.


    Why did First Elder talk as though he was going to die?


    Could the Broken Moon Clan and the Alliance not have a single chance of hope?


    ¡°I don¡¯t know whether the Alliance can be saved in the future, but I know it definitely can¡¯t at this time.¡±


    First Elder shook his head bitterly as he glanced deeply at his disciple.


    Zhao Feng started to understand his Master¡¯s words. He was putting the hope and future into his hands.


    However, Zhao Feng still didn¡¯t believe that the Thirteen Clans could not be saved.


    He thought in his heart, Is Master thinking too much in a bad perspective?


    First Elder seemed to understand his suspicions but he didn¡¯t answer them directly. Instead he said, ¡°The Thirteen Clans might team up to fight against the Iron Dragon Country. However, you alone won¡¯t affect a battle of this scale. Do you understand my intentions?¡±


    ¡°This disciple understands. From the current situation, this mission has only positives for me and no negatives.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts quickly changed as he agreed.


    First Elder¡¯s words were right. Even if Zhao Feng stayed within the Sky Cloud Forest, he would be unimportant.


    Even experts at the True Human Rank were not safe in battles of this scale. Cultivators at Ascended Realm were the bottom soldiers and even cannon fodders. They would pose no threat at all to the enemy at all.


    ¡°Since I have no use here, why not go and concentrate on the mission?¡±


    Shua!


    An blur of azure flickered as Zhao Feng left the cave.


    Not long after Zhao Feng left, Granny Liuyue appeared next to First Elder.


    ¡°You¡¯ll lower your head to beg for help from that person?¡±


    Granny Liuyue was in disbelief.


    First Elder didn¡¯t say anything. All he did was look at the direction of Zhao Feng¡¯s departure, immersed in deep thought.


    ¡°Oh well, your actions leave the Thirteen Clans with a thread of hope. For Zhao Feng, there¡¯s no downsides. Firstly, he was able to leave the muddled thirteen countries, and secondly, he was able to enter the true stage of the Northern Continent.¡±


    Granny Liuyue sighed.


    As she thought about the matter, if she had such a good disciple, maybe she would also go to such lengths to open a path for them.


    But First Elder¡¯s preparation was much better and had connections even in Great countries.


    Half a day later.


    Zhao Feng entered the Sky Cloud Forest alone.


    On the way, he saw the group from the Broken Moon Clan with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye from several hundred miles away.


    Yang Gan, Ran Xiaoyuan, Lin Fan and company were still on the journey back, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any intentions of greeting them.


    ¡°The Broken Moon Clan¡­.. Cloud Country¡­¡­ leaving in this manner and vanishing from the sights of everyone?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was unwilling and desolate.


    He had grew up in the Cloud Country and had never left the area apart from the Thirteen Clan Alliance Banquet.


    But logic told Zhao Feng that there would only be downsides if he stayed.


    ¡°The Thirteen Clans have fallen into a dangerous whirlpool. I¡¯m unable to change the situation with my power. Furthermore, I also have the Ghost Mark on me so that makes me more dangerous for me than everyone else.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    Ever since the Floating Crest Trial, Zhao Feng had risen and then took First place in the Alliance Banquet not long ago.


    Such achievements made him confident.


    But at this moment, he felt helpless. Facing the entire situation what he could do could be ignored and if not done right, he would lose his life.


    ¡°When I finally have true power, maybe I can control this the destiny of this place¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly had the urge for power.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sat lazily on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder.


    Compared to when it had just been ¡®hatched¡¯, the little thieving cat had only grown a little bit, so much that it could be ignored. It was still the size of a palm.


    Its growth speed was unbelievably slow.


    Miao miao!


    As though it felt Zhao Feng¡¯s loneliness, the little thieving cat covered Zhao Feng¡¯s face then jumped around happily in the forest.


    Zhao Feng had the heart to race the little thieving cat, but without using the Yin Shadow Cloak and his bloodline power, Zhao Feng was only on par with the cat. However, in terms of agility, Zhao Feng was nowhere near.


    Furthermore the little thieving cat could turn invisible and his attributes would all rise in the night.


    Of course.


    The little thieving cat would still occasionally throw out the coin which seemed to be able to calculate the future.


    The human and cat passed through the Sky Cloud Forest but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t decide to immediately leave the Thirteen Countries.


    The time limit First Elder gave Zhao Feng was two months and Zhao Feng still had his own problems which he needed to finish.


    Firstly, his cultivation had risen two Sky¡¯s in the Alliance Banquet and needed to be consolidated.


    Secondly, the Ghost Mark was a problem which needed to be taken care of.


    It was the second problem that caused his head to hurt.


    The mysterious skeleton was actually a Division Leader.


    Back when the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was at its peak, a Sub-Division alone was able to sweep the Thirteen Clans and even destroy a Strong country.


    Division Leader¡¯s were unfathomable.


    On this day.


    Zhao Feng entered a misty zone.


    This was the outer edges of the Hundred Graves forbidden ground. Going closer would be the ground of bones where the curse was.


    The misty forest had a mysterious power which could restrict one¡¯s senses, even experts at the True Spirit Realm would have their senses restrained.


    ¡°I¡¯ll cultivate here first. It should be safe.¡±


    Zhao Feng found a corner and sat down.


    Half a month later, Zhao Feng had consolidated his cultivation.


    The progression of two Skies in such a short amount of time was too rash.


    Everything had its ups and downs.


    While Zhao Feng was consolidating his cultivation he noticed that the potential in his body had been pushed down and progressing would be harder. This was the downside of breaking through with the help of items.


    Luckily, he didn¡¯t have any intentions of breaking through in a short amount of time.


    There were many older people in the Clans that stayed at this level for decades or even their entire lives.


    The gap between True Spirit Realm and Ascended Realm was enormous. To break through, one must have fortune, potential, talent, and luck.


    After another half a day of cultivation, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had stabilized but the increase in his potential was limited.


    After consolidating his foundation came the main problem - the Ghost Mark.


    Zhao Feng could just sense the existence of the Ghost Mark when he opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, but with his cultivation and mastery in mental energy, it wasn¡¯t enough to break this mark. The difficulty was equal to breaking through to True Spirit Realm.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t give up. He focused on mental energy techniques and what he had learned in the Alliance Banquet.


    Unknowingly, his mastery in mental energy had far exceeded skills like the Heart Controlling Technique.


    During the time Zhao Feng¡¯s was focusing on mental energy, the situation in the Thirteen Countries had undergone a huge change.


    A part of the Thirteen Clans¡¯ experts had succeeded in escaping.


    Or more precisely, the Twelve Clans.


    After half a month of planning, the forces of the Twelve Clans attacked the Concealed Dragon River.


    At this moment, the Concealed Dragon River had become the Iron Dragon Country¡¯s stronghold.


    But the weird thing was that the Iron Dragon Country didn¡¯t send many experts or soldiers over.


    The forces of the Twelve Clans at that moment had exceeded the Iron Dragon Countries.


    The battle began.


    The Twelve Clans confidently forced the Iron Dragon Country back.


    But right at this moment, an miscalculation appeared.


    An unrivaled expert appeared at the Iron Dragon Country¡¯s side.


    True Lord Rank.


    The descension of a True Lord.


    At that time, the forces of the Twelve Clans were double in comparison to the Iron Dragon Country¡¯s side, but when the True Lord descended, every advantage disappeared.


    Those at True Lord Rank could flip the clouds and summon rain; thad the ability to settle the battle.


    No one knew how powerful a True Lord was.


    They only knew that the higher echelons at the True Spirit Realm surrendered without much resistance.

 248 One peck, One Drink

    At the centre of the Concealed Dragon River.


    The Elders of the Twelve Clans had all surrendered; bitterness and helplessness covered their faces.


    Hovering in the air was a youth. He held a metal fan and had sharp and icy eyes. The weirdest part about him was the layer of metal that had overlapped his skin, even his clothes and hair seemed to be metallic.


    The cold and metallic aura infiltrated the space nearby, seemingly freezing it - not a single breeze of wind was present.


    ¡°Tiexiao True Lord, the Twelve Clans have surrendered and are willing to serve the Iron Dragon strong country. Are you going to kill all of us?¡±


    The Grand Elder of the Cloud Sword Clan suppressed his anger as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.


    As a sword cultivator of the True Mystic Rank, he had slashed towards Tiexiao True Lord¡¯s body and had caused sparks to fly, but the opponent was uninjured. Instead, he had been hit by a terrifying rebounding force.


    The other elders of the Twelve Clans were furious, however, they didn¡¯t retaliate nor did they have any thoughts of resistance.


    The realm of True Lord was too far away from them.


    First Elder of the Broken Moon Clan sighed, ¡°In the past, the Iron Dragon Country and the Sky Rich Country only had one expert of True Lord Rank, hence they were balanced. Now however, the Iron Dragon Country had another True Lord Rank expert, hence they were able to instantly change the situation.¡±


    The birth of a True Lord Rank expert had affected the situation across the entire area.


    They stood at the peak, and every thought or action could influence the lives of hundreds of millions of people.


    Tiexiao True Lord hovered in mid-air but remained quiet.


    The mysterious black figure from the Iron Dragon Country took out a blank scroll several yards long.


    ¡°This is a Blood Pact Scroll. All the cultivators at the True Spirit Realm present here are to sign it.¡±


    The mysterious black figure said.


    Massacring the Twelve Clans held no benefits for the Iron Dragon Country. Moreover, to exterminate the roots of the Twelve Clans wouldn''t be easy.


    The best solution was to make these forces serve them.


    The elders of the Twelve Clans gazed at each other - helplessness filled their eyes.


    The Blood Pact Scroll was similar to a letter of surrender but had a stronger effect. Once they signed this scroll, they would be restrained.


    After half the time it took for tea to be made.


    The higher echelons of the Twelve Clans signed the Blood Pact Scroll one by one.


    As for the Ancient Shrine, they were originally a Sub-Division of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and were on the Iron Dragon Country¡¯s side. They didn¡¯t need to participate.


    Qiu-----


    Tiexiao True Lord who was hovering in mid-air expressionlessly turned into a flashing blur that merged into the sky.


    The True Lord didn¡¯t even appear for an hour and had not even made any moves but had turned the situation around.


    The news of the Twelves Clans¡¯ surrender soon spread across the Thirteen Countries.


    The experts of the Iron Dragon Country soon entered the Twelve Clans and the high echelons of each Clan started to change.


    Amongst them was the Broken Moon Clan.


    Hai Yun Master became the Broken Moon Clan Master and was the representative of the Iron Dragon strong country.


    Due to the fact that First Elder had lost an arm during the battle and had burned his source of True Spirit which resulted in his cultivation decreasing, he became low-key.


    Hai Yun Master, who had gained the trust of the Iron Dragon strong country and had the support of the Regulations Elder, soon became the person with the most authority.


    After becoming the Clan Master, Hai Yun Master soon gave out an order: Kill the traitor Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng broke the rules of the Clan, disrespected his Elders, and ran away. If captured alive, take him back to the Clan. If he resists, kill him.¡±


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s emotionless voice echoed across the hall.


    This order was soon known by everyone.


    The clan had also listed high rewards to kill or capture Zhao Feng.


    Just giving traces of Zhao Feng rewarded the person with ten thousand low-grade Primal Crystal Stones. This was not a small sum even for experts at True Human Rank.


    As for capturing or killing Zhao Feng, the bounty was ten times higher.


    First Elder and Granny Liuyue became low-key and silent towards everything that happened in the Clan. Because Hai Yun Master couldn¡¯t find any faults and wasn¡¯t complete confident that he could take them down, he didn¡¯t do anything.


    At this time, the hearts of everyone from the Broken Moon Clan trembled but Hai Yun Master was very skilled. He gave rewards and punished others fairly, winning the hearts of some people.


    Sky Cloud Forest, Misty Area.


    Zhao Feng had been comprehending mental energy techniques and trying to dissolve the Ghost Mark on him.


    ¡°As long as the Ghost Mark stays on me, I¡¯ll be in danger. If that mysterious skeleton recovers back to it¡¯s peak strength¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng read through all the mental energy techniques in his mind but there was no solution.


    An entire month had passed since his cultivation had been consolidated.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mastery of mental energy had increased and started to understand the Ghost Mark a bit.


    ¡°The Ghost Mark is similar to the mysterious power of the Cures of a Hundred Graves but the Ghost Mark does not have offensive attributes. It only leaves a mark on me, therefore the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye didn¡¯t resist on instinct.¡±


    Zhao Feng finally understood something


    He had another plan and that was to use the power of the Curse of a Hundred Graves to break the Ghost Mark.


    However the Curse of a Hundred Graves was too dangerous and Zhao Feng needed to be very careful.


    Half a day later.


    Zhao Feng entered the Curse of a Hundred Graves once again and the invisible cold power tried to enter his body. However, this power was forced back by the aura from the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Miao miao!


    Zhao Feng retrieved the little thieving cat and let it calculate their fortune.


    The little thieving cat nodded its head as it took out the coin with a proud face before flipping it into the air and catching it with its paws.


    After catching the coin, the little thieving cat furrowed its eyebrows. It nodded its head at times, but also shook it at other times.


    The connection between Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat was very special, hence he knew that the answer was blurry. Even the little thieving cat couldn¡¯t give an exact answer.


    ¡°We¡¯ll have to give it a try.¡±


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat didn¡¯t see the destiny of dying.


    Of course, this was assumed that the little thieving cat¡¯s prediction skills were still working.


    Zhao Feng then sat down and used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to sense the Ghost Mark.


    At the same time, he circulate his bloodline power and merged the azure blood into the dimension of his left eye, blocking it.


    Once the azure abyss was blocked, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye would return to its original black and dim colour.


    This meant that Zhao Feng was closing the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s power.


    As expected.


    Once it was fully blocked, the power of the curse sneaked up from behind Zhao Feng.


    The latter hiccupped as he immediately circulated his bloodline power so that not all of the azure abyss was blocked.


    But even then, a wisp of the curse touched Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body went cold. It was as if there was countless hands- wet with blood- reaching towards his organs.


    At that critical point, Zhao Feng circulated his mental energy and purposely attracted the curse.


    The curse seemed to have a consciousness which would allow it to enter the ¡®flaws¡¯ of the target, just like how water would flow out of a hole.


    The flaw Zhao Feng revealed was the location of the Ghost Mark.


    Teng Teng Teng!


    A weird sound seemed to echo.


    If Zhao Feng could open his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he could see hand after hand reaching into his body.


    If it wasn¡¯t because a part of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was still working, Zhao Feng would¡¯ve been infested with the hands.


    Time passed slowly by and Zhao Feng¡¯s lifeforce started to weaken as his face went pale.


    He could only circulate his bloodline power to fortify himself.


    The bloodline power could somewhat protect him, but only a small amount could be used since the other part was blocking the azure abyss.


    However, his True Force was weakening due to the curse.


    Seeing this situation, Zhao Feng wanted to give up, but he noticed that the Ghost Mark¡¯s aura was also dropping.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s life force and True Force was weakening along with the Ghost Mark.


    It was good that Zhao Feng still had the protection of his bloodline power, this prevented Zhao Feng¡¯s source of life from disappearing.


    Three days later.


    Zhao Feng spat out a breath and retracted the azure blood in the dimension of his left eye.


    At the same time, although the Ghost Mark fully disappeared, his True Force level had also dropped.


    ¡°Was it worth it?¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured to himself as he glanced at the little thieving cat on his shoulder.


    While breaking the Ghost Mark, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had dropped to the 6th Sky.


    The little thieving cat squinted its eyes but didn¡¯t respond.


    Zhao Feng found that although his cultivation had dropped, his foundation was more solid and his potential was larger compared to when he was at the 7th Sky.


    This was like building a tower. The better built the lower levels was, the higher the tower could go.


    This was the feeling Zhao Feng had right now. The breakthrough of two Skies in the Alliance Banquet was too rushed, but now this problem didn¡¯t exist.


    Although Zhao Feng had dropped a Sky, his foundation and potential were better and the Ghost Mark had disappeared.


    One peck, one drink. It was as if heavens had destined so.


    At the same time.


    On a mysterious altar in the Iron Dragon strong country.


    ¡°The Ghost Mark has been broken¡­ how is this possible¡­ did someone of the Origin Core Realm do this?¡±


    A hoarse voice resounded. This voice seemed to freeze one¡¯s soul and cultivators at the True Human Rank would hiccup here.


    The owner of the voice was a black gold robed skeleton whose bones were silver with the occasional flash of dark purple.


    ¡°No.. that¡¯s the power of the Curse of a Hundred Graves.¡±


    The skeleton Division Leader¡¯s expression changed.


    ¡°Division Leader, no one can escape from the Curse of a Hundred Graves. The person is obviously dead.¡±


    A silver striped blood corpse laughed at the side.


    The skeleton Division Leader nodded its head. If the person died, the Ghost Mark would disappear as well.


    ¡°Division Leader, about that Curse of a Hundred Graves¡­¡±


    The blood corpse protector asked.


    ¡°That is the highest secret of the Holy Religion. Even the great lord, I, wouldn¡¯t enter that forbidden area. You don¡¯t need to know this.¡±

 249 Leave

    In the misty area.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes suddenly opened as the colour on his face returned to normal.


    Apart from the fact that his cultivation had dropped to the 6th Sky, all his other aspects were around the level when he was at the Alliance Banquet.


    Of course.


    His mastery of mental energy was better than the Alliance Banquet. After all, he had continued to study it for a month in order to destroy the Ghost Mark.


    ¡°The Ghost Mark had been destroyed. At least I don¡¯t need to be wary of being eyed upon by the experts of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    Zhao Feng weighed the choices and didn¡¯t regret it.


    The Ghost Mark was too dangerous. Those that could find him were usually at the True Spirit Realm, and he couldn¡¯t confirm whether the weather would be stormy or not at that time.


    Calculating the time, Zhao Feng realized that over two-thirds of the time had passed for the deal with First Elder.


    According to the promise, he needed to leave the Thirteen Countries within two months and head towards the Canopy Great Country to complete his secret mission.


    Although Zhao Feng was slightly unwilling, he had to do so.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng would be heading towards a larger stage.


    Ever since he had seen the map of the Northern Continent and the fact that the Thirteen Countries only represented a dot in the corner, his heart had been shaken.


    Two days later.


    Zhao Feng arrived at the Sun Feather City and found that everything was the same as usual.


    Although he didn¡¯t greet anyone from the city, he somehow had an uneasy feeling that he had been locked on by something.


    He didn¡¯t dare stay for long and soon left the Sun Feather City.


    The whistling of the wind soon arrived.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, don¡¯t run. Go back to the Clan with me and admit your sins.¡±


    A deep voice echoed from behind.


    The person was a middle aged man wearing purple robes and held a High-grade Mortal weapon as he led ten members of the Clan who had reached the 6th Sky or higher.


    ¡°Go back to the Clan and admit my sins?¡±


    Zhao Feng paused.


    He knew the middle aged purple robed person. It was a Vice Head who was proficient at fighting.


    ¡°You better surrender now!¡±


    The middle aged purple robed person circulated his High grade Mortal weapon, causing cold slashes of purple green sword qi to envelope a radius of ten yards.


    Crackle~~~


    An arc of lightning flashed through Zhao Feng¡¯s hand like little small poisonous snakes as they charged towards the purple robed man and company.


    Under the clash of the two powers, the purple robed figure retreated and a numbing sensation enveloped him, causing him to be unable to move and smoke to appear above his head.


    The squad he brought with him were hit by the remaining arcs of lightning and fell to the floor, unable to move.


    ¡°This is the strength of the First in the Alliance Banquet.¡±


    The group were full of fear.


    In just one move, he had defeated a cultivator at half-step True Spirit Realm and caused the rest to lose their battle power. How terrifying was his strength?


    ¡°I heard that Zhao Feng reached the 7th Sky in the Alliance Banquet but now he¡¯s dropped to the 6th Sky for some reason. If he was at his peak then¡­..¡±


    The middle-aged purple robed man took a deep breath and suppressed the wave in his heart.


    When he had heard about the mission and rewards, he had also heard of Zhao Feng¡¯s fame, but he didn¡¯t think much of it. Among the half-step True Spirit Realm experts, he was ranked in the top 3. No matter how strong a junior was, what could they do?


    However, only after personally fighting him did he know of Zhao Feng¡¯s dangerousness. He was even scarier than the rumors.


    Afterall, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had now dropped to the 6th Sky and was two steps away from the half-step True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Who sent you to come kill me?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression dimmed.


    Because his cultivation had dropped to the 6th Sky and he didn¡¯t use his bloodline power, he could only barely suppress the opponent with the move just then.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, Clan Master Hai Yun has already ordered the Thirteen Countries to kill you. If you resist, we¡¯ll kill you, but if you go back to the Clan and admit your sins, you should be spared.¡±


    Due to his wariness, the purple robed middle aged man didn¡¯t rashly make his move.


    Firstly, he was waiting for his squad to recover and also await the reinforcements from the Clan.


    Hai Yun Master had specifically said to stall for time and tell an Elder-ranked expert.


    A junior at the Ascended Realm needed experts at the True Spirit Realm to kill him?


    The middle-aged purple robed man had rejected that thought back then, but at this moment, it looked like it wasn¡¯t all without reason.


    ¡°Clan Master Hai Yun? Kill?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart turned cold.


    Next.


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power and instantly severely injured the middle aged man and company.


    The purple robed man was only able to block a few moves before being defeated and losing an arm in the process.


    If it wasn¡¯t because that they were of the same Clan, Zhao Feng would have killed them already.


    ¡°I¡¯m asking you, what has happened in the past two months?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes turned towards another cultivator at the 7th Sky.


    The Deacon at the 7th Sky was instantly controlled and answered without hesitation.


    Zhao Feng asked a question and the Deacon would reply. The former soon understood the situation in the Thirteen Clans and the situation that the Broken Moon Clan was in.


    ¡°True Lord descending? The Twelve Clans all surrendered?¡±


    ¡°Hai Yun Master, this traitor became the Broken Moon Clan Master and even sent people to pursue me in the Thirteen Countries.¡±


    The news made Zhao Feng stunned and angry.


    The descent of a True Lord caused him to become helpless.


    Although he wasn¡¯t personally there, thinking about how the Twelve Clans had twice the forces of the enemy and still had to surrender, he could estimate what had happened.


    The thing that made Zhao Feng angry was that Hai Yun Master had become the Clan Master.


    Back at the Concealed Dragon Lake, Hai Yun Master had attacked the original Broken Moon Clan Master and was the culprit of her death.


    The original Broken Moon Clan Master was holy and righteous. When Zhao Feng had caused a large amount of trouble in the Floating Crest Trial, it was her and First Elder that protected Zhao Feng.


    Furthermore, this beautiful Clan Master was also Ran Xiaoyuan¡¯s Master, hence Zhao Feng was always respectful towards her.


    ¡°Hai Yun Master¡­.¡±


    Killing intent could be seen in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes. This was the first time he had wanted to kill someone so badly.


    Back then, it was just to help Lord Guanjun and so all Zhao Feng wanted to do was beat Hai Yun Master and humiliate him.


    He didn¡¯t think that Hai Yun Master was so cunning. He had betrayed the Broken Moon Clan long ago, killed the Broken Moon Clan Master, and was now sending people after him.


    It was lucky that First Elder and Granny Liuyue were still in the Broken Moon Clan. With these two people here, the people related to Zhao Feng were safe.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let you guys live. Next time, I will kill you.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed and soon disappeared.


    He didn¡¯t dare dwindle for long due to the possibility that someone at True Spirit Realm would arrive and with his 6th Sky cultivation, there would be no means of escape.


    An hour after Zhao Feng¡¯s departure, the Regulations Elder arrived.


    The Regulations Elder was also Lu Hu¡¯s Master, and when the latter had been kicked out by Zhao Feng, the Regulations Elder kept the event in his heart.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had slapped the Regulations Elder in the face after the Trial.


    After Hai Yun Master became the Clan Master, the Regulations Elder had become the greatest protector.


    When he arrived, he scouted the area, but was unable to find any traces of Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had the Yin Shadow Cloak which could hide auras and after being pursued, he entered the Sky Cloud Forest.


    ¡°If I¡¯m forced into a corner, I¡¯ll just go hide in the Forbidden Ground of a Hundred Graves. Even those at the True Lord Realm won¡¯t easily enter it.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt like a fish in the water when he entered the Sky Cloud Forest.


    Both he and the little thieving cat had the ability to become invisible, meaning that they were technically safe the second they entered Sky Cloud Forest.


    ¡°Looks like I need to leave the Thirteen Countries fast.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s decision was made.


    There was no place for him to stay in the Thirteen Countries anymore. It was better for him to enter the greater world.


    Zhao Feng started his journey on the same day, heading toward the outer boundaries of the Thirteen Countries.


    Although the path Zhao Feng took was desolate, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye still saw the figures of cultivators from the Clans and the shadows of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    There was even a time when Zhao Feng¡¯s traces were accidentally found by a bottom-level disciple and was about to report it when he was instantly killed by Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy technique.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s one eyed, azure haired appearance was just far too outstanding, and after becoming first in the Alliance Banquet, it was hard not to recognise him.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng used a black veil that could cover his head and face.


    To increase his speed, Zhao Feng controlled an Azure Sharp Swallow at the 7th Sky with his mental energy.


    The Azure Sharp Swallow¡¯s body size wasn¡¯t large for a flying beast. It¡¯s wingspan was only two to three yards wide, but if one was to underestimate it, they would pay a hefty price.


    The Azure Sharp Swallow¡¯s wings were as thin as blade, and in terms of speed and offense, it was at the peak amongst the 7th Sky. It¡¯s weakness was its defense. Its defense wasn¡¯t even on par with beasts of the same cultivation.


    When someone met an Azure Sharp Swallow, they would be wary or even retreat even if they were at the half-step True Spirit Realm.


    But with Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy, he easily controlled the Azure Sharp Swallow due to the fact that the Azure Sharp Swallow¡¯s mental energy wasn¡¯t that great.


    Qiu----


    The Azure Sharp Swallow was like a silver blade that flickered through the sky and into the clouds.


    ¡°In terms of speed alone, this Azure Sharp Swallow is comparable to someone at the True Human Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised.


    Although those at the True Human Rank had the ability to fly, it was only for a short while and the expenditure was great, hence they were unable fly for long periods of time nor be able to compared to a flying beast.


    It was because of this that flying beasts were extremely rare and taming it was extremely troublesome.


    But this posed no difficulty for Zhao Feng.


    In under ten days, Zhao Feng had flown out of the Thirteen Countries. The Azure Sharp Swallow didn¡¯t disappoint Zhao Feng, it could fly tens of thousands of miles in one day.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that he wasn¡¯t the only genius that was being pursued in the Thirteen Countries and had left the Thirteen Countries.


    There was two others, Cang Yuyue and Zhao Yufei.


    However, the only difference was that the rewards for these two were much lower.


    Due to the fact that Zhao Feng had come first in the Alliance Banquet and was despised by Hai Yun Master, the rewards of killing him were even higher than killing someone of the True Spirit Realm.


    In the blink of an eye, several months passed by.


    Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and Cang Yuyue had all disappeared from the Thirteen Countries and didn¡¯t come back in a short amount of time, just like how Xin Wuheng had mysteriously disappeared in the Sun Feather City.

 250 Great Country 1

    Between each countries were wide and desolate lands.


    These desolate lands hadn¡¯t been touched by humans yet and contained a large number of deadly beasts and Yao beasts.


    Not only that.


    Desolate lands were full of dangerous environments and natural disasters. Carelessness could result in death.


    This situation was similar to the third stage of the Floating Crest Trial but the boundaries were bigger and the path longer.


    Therefore it was very dangerous to travel through countries. Even people of the Clans wouldn¡¯t easily do so.


    Of course,


    There was still countless numbers of people running from death and cultivators at the True Spirit Realm or higher that did so.


    In a desolate desert.


    Sou!


    A beautiful plainly dressed girl who held a sword sped off into the distance.


    Locust after locust appeared from the desert in front.


    The plainly dressed girl lightly shouted and condensed an invisible sword intent that flickered through the air.


    The swarm of locusts was instantly slashed apart.


    ¡°Although it''s a bit risky, this path is the straightest and best. By passing two strong countries, I can arrive at the top sword sect of the Northern Continent - the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.¡±


    Cang Yuyue studied the map in her hands.


    The Ten Thousand Sword Sect was a peak force of the Northern Continent whose position was only below of the Ten Great Factions.


    Being the top Sword Sect in the Northern Continent, normal geniuses of the sword that had no background had no right to enter, but Cang Yuyue believed that with her age, comprehension, and seed of sword intent that not many people across the entire Northern Continent had, she was able to pass.


    Furthermore, she had a recommendation letter in her hands.


    Due to the fact that the Cloud Sword Clan had been controlled by the Iron Dragon Country and Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, Cang Yuyue was treated as a traitor.


    But luckily, Zhao Feng had attracted most of the attention, hence Cang Yuyue was able to leave the Thirteen Countries safely.


    In the desolate lands, in between canyons.


    A girl in purple with eyes as clear as crystal could be seen. Her face was like a beautiful carving and her skin was snow white with a faint redness to it.


    Her looks could bring disaster amongst men and countries.


    ¡°The Three Yuan Sect is a side sect of one of the Ten Great Factions - the Heavenly Yuan Sect. Who knows if this journey will be successful?¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation and worry.


    The Three Yuan Sect was a powerful force that could suppress the forces of the Iron Dragon strong country.


    What made it even more popular was that it was a side sect of the Heavenly Yuan Sect. If one performed well, there was the chance of being chosen by the Heavenly Yuan Sect.


    The Ten Great Factions were spread out amongst the entire continent and the Northern Continent only had one or two at the max. From this one could see the Heavenly Yuan Sect¡¯s importance.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng is being pursued by the entire Thirteen Countries and the pressure he faces is much greater than mine. I hope he can escape successfully and maybe, hopefully, one day¡­.¡±


    Bright lights flashed in Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes.


    Outside the Thirteen Countries.


    Inside a complex landscape in the desolate lands.


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally run out of the Thirteen Countries. Hai Yun Master, I¡¯ll pay back today¡¯s humiliation in two fold in the future.¡±


    A black hooded figure said full of killing intent.


    Under the hood was an azure haired youth with an ugly expression and full of anger.


    Zhao Feng had to keep this thought in his heart as he ran from the pursuers across the Thirteen Countries.


    The enemy was an expert of True Spirit Realm that had become the Clan Master - Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t able to fight back.


    He believed that there was no place for him in the Thirteen Countries unless he reached True Lord Rank, meaning he was able to affect the area around there.


    If Zhao Feng wanted to return to the Thirteen Countries, he needed to be at least at the True Spirit Realm or else it would be full of dangers.


    Zhao Feng only had what Master told him to do in his heart.


    The first mission: Ask for help.


    A map of the Northern Continent appeared in his mind as he started to fly in a certain direction.


    Zhao Feng had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and the Azure Sharp Swallow which allowed him evade all the dangers beforehand.


    The Northern Continent had as many strong countries as how many clouds were in the sky.


    The Iron Dragon Country was only one of the more powerful forces. If he was able to find assistance, it was possible to turn the situation of the Thirteen Countries around.


    Zhao Feng sat on the Azure Sharp Swallow and headed towards the closest country to the Thirteen Countries and the two countries \- the ¡°Eagle Country.¡±


    However, this was an arduous path.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.


    In the south of the Northern Continent, a roaring river passed through mountains, plains, and deserts as if it was going to rip the land in half.


    The scene was stunning.


    This river was called the ¡°River of Rage¡± and was one of the three rivers that lay within the Canopy Great Country¡¯s territory.


    The River of Rage had a powerful current. A wave alone could swallow a cultivator at the Ascended Realm.


    Furthermore, above the river were winds so powerful that even flying Yao Beasts would be instantly torn to shreds.


    The river bank.


    A sharp green swallow flew through the air and landed on the ground.


    Although the size of this flying bird wasn¡¯t big, its speed and aura caused many to glance over.


    At this moment.


    An azure haired one-eyed youth jumped down from the Azure Sharp Swallow with signs of fatigue.


    ¡°It¡¯s the rare Azure Sharp Swallow. It''s said that its speed and offense is unbelievable.¡±


    ¡°What background does this youth have to possess such a precious pet?¡±


    The eyes of many people glimmered as they started to discuss.


    The azure haired one-eyed youth was obviously Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng felt extremely tired after coming from the Sky Cloud Thirteen Countries.


    Luckily, he had entered the territory of the Canopy Great country and was extremely far away from the Thirteen Countries. He believed that no one would know him.


    Across the entire Northern Continent, only three countries had the word ¡°Great¡± in it. The Canopy Great Country was one of the three.


    ¡°The second task: Give Master¡¯s item to the Liu family within the Canopy Great Country.¡±


    Zhao Feng surveyed the area with caution.


    Although the strongest cultivator here had only reached the 7th Sky, he didn¡¯t dare look down upon them.


    This was the Canopy Great Country, it wasn¡¯t something the Thirteen Countries could compare to.


    Ten days ago.


    Two to three bandits of the 6th Sky had try to steal Zhao Feng¡¯s Azure Sharp Swallow.


    Zhao Feng decided to finish them off, but without using the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and bloodline power, he needed a dozen or so moves.


    This was unimaginable in the Thirteen Countries.


    The Canopy great country was a treasured place of the Northern Continent for cultivators.


    The number of people who had reached the Ascended Realm here wasn¡¯t low.


    Zhao Feng had once fought with two experts at the 7th Sky and without using his bloodline power, the battle resulted in a draw.


    Furthermore, those two were only the middle echelons of a family, like how the Zhao family was in the Cloud country.


    ¡°Skills and techniques of every kind are seen in the mortal world. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi is several times purer than the Thirteen Countries and apparently, a few big forces are in control of Spiritual Treasured Grounds and full of resources¡­.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng had only entered the Canopy Great Country for a short dozen days, his actions had become more cautious.


    Simply said, the Canopy Great Country was more advanced in terms of cultivation.


    If the Thirteen Countries was said to be a village in the countryside, then this place would be a city.


    Therefore, under the same cultivation, the experts of the Canopy Great Country could easily slay those from the Thirteen Countries.


    ¡°I hope the second task doesn¡¯t fail or else¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood at the river bank and his chest heaved from the pressure the River of Rage brought.


    Him running away was for two missions.


    One: Help


    Two: Send the letter.


    Zhao Feng had failed the former.


    Thinking back to his experience, a bitter smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips.


    After leaving the Thirteen Countries he reached the closest Eagle Country.


    The Eagle Country was the closest to the Iron Dragon Country and Thirteen Countries, but was stronger than the Iron Dragon strong country. If they were willing, they could change the situation of the Thirteen Countries.


    But.


    When Zhao Feng entered the Eagle Country, he realised that the tens of clans in the country had an internal war and the entire country was in chaos. None of them had the time to bother with him.


    After that Zhao Feng arrived at the second strong country nearby, the Blood Fire Country.


    The Blood Fire Country was extremely powerful, the original Iron Dragon strong country and the Sky Rich strong country united might not even be its match.


    However, the distance between the Blood Fire strong country and Thirteen Countries was already a bit far and the factions there weren¡¯t willing to help.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng almost lost his life there.


    ¡°The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion has not only infiltrated the Iron Dragon strong country, even the Blood Fire strong country has been infiltrated.¡±


    Zhao Feng would still be covered in sweat when he remembered this.


    Back at the Blood Fire strong country he had been targeted by the Scarlet Moon Religion but was able to survive due to his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    He couldn¡¯t help but be glad that he had destroyed the Ghost Mark even though it cost him dropping one Sky.


    With the failure at the Blood Fire Country Zhao Feng¡¯s task for help ended in failure.


    Because the other countries were all too far away and who would bother with a brat who came from a poor place?


    Finally.


    Zhao Feng decisively gave up this mission that was infested with danger and little hope.


    He couldn¡¯t help but remember what First Elder had told him. The chance of getting help was small. The key point was the second task. If it succeeded, not only will you be safe, the Thirteen Countries might also be saved.¡±


    At this moment.


    Zhao Feng was standing in front of the River of Rage.


    He was placing all his hopes on the second mission.


    But right now Zhao Feng needed to pass through the River of Rage to enter the centre of the Canopy Great Country.


    The Canopy Great country¡¯s situation could be described as ¡°One Emperor, Three Sects, Four Families¡± to display its chaoticness.


    Amongst the four families was a Liu family, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know whether it was the same as the one First Elder had talked about.

 251 Great Country 2

    Zhao Feng thought that if the Liu Family he was looking for was indeed one of the Four Great families of the Canopy Great Country, it would be incredible.


    One Emperor, Three Sects, Four Families.


    These eight forces sustained the life of Canopy Great Country and were above the other countless forces.


    Any one of them had power at least comparable to a strong country and even had the ability to wipe them out.


    Of these eight forces the Imperials had the most fame and was the ruler of the Canopy Great Country.


    Due to the eight forces existing together, the situation within this great country was very complex, but there wasn¡¯t much connection to Zhao Feng who had just arrived.


    He couldn¡¯t even affect the Thirteen Countries situation and was just a speck of dust in the Canopy Great country.


    After organising his thoughts Zhao Feng once again looked towards the River of Rage ahead.


    The River of Rage had a magnificient current that caused cultivators at Ascended Realm to have a hard time breathing.


    ¡°The River of Rage is the biggest river in the Canopy Great Country and is one of the three greatest areas of water in the Northern Continent. Anyone that wants to enter the holy lands of the Canopy Great Country and head towards the Four Families must cross this river.¡¯


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed as his azure hair blew in the wind.


    It wasn¡¯t just Zhao Feng alone that wanted to cross the river.


    The aim of the experts here were all to cross the river.


    The River of Rage was situated north and was considered desolate - even though the population here far surpassed the Thirteen Countries.


    One had to cross it if they wanted to enter the populated grounds of the Canopy Great Country.


    Qiu-----


    The sound of movement in the air could be heard as a True Spirit Realm expert¡¯s aura caused the crowd¡¯s expression on the riverbank to change.


    A four winged flying leopard flew through the air. It¡¯s size was as big as an elephant and a golden robed noble sat on it as they descended to the river bank.


    ¡°Four winged Flying Cloud Leopard!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a battle-class flying pet. This four winged Flying Cloud Leopard could probably easily rip normal cultivators at the half-step True Spirit Realm into shreds.¡±


    The people on the riverbank full of respect.


    The pet of the golden robed person, the ¡°Four winged Flying Cloud Leopard¡± alone would cause normal cultivators at the Ascended Realm to evade.


    When the Four winged Flying Cloud Leopard descended, Zhao Feng could feel uneasiness from the Azure Sharp Swallow.


    The Azure Sharp Swallow might not be slower than the Four Winged Flying Snow Leopard in terms of speed but their battle power was uncomparable.


    Zhao Feng noticed that a lot of cultivators had flying beasts in the Canopy Great country but his Azure Sharp Swallow was a rare type whose speed made others envious.


    The golden robed noble¡¯s eyes were calm as he scanned across the people on the riverbank. He was slightly surprised when he saw the Azure Sharp Swallow next to Zhao Feng but he didn¡¯t take it to heart.


    Zhao Feng was only at the 6th Sky but had an Azure Sharp Swallow. One had to know that cultivators at the 7th Sky and even those at the half-step True Spirit Realm didn¡¯t have such great flying steeds.


    As time passed, more and more people arrived on the riverbank.


    The cultivation of these people were at least at the 4th or 5th Sky, and 6th and 7th Sky were very common.


    There were now several cultivators at half-step True Spirit Realm at the riverbank.


    The battle prowess of these people couldn¡¯t be compared to those in the Sky Cloud Forest Area. Zhao Feng found it hard to even finish off a normal cultivator at the 7th Sky in a short period of time.


    Of course, everyone was filled with respect as they looked at the gold robed person.


    ¡°With the cultivation of the True Human Rank, he should be able to cross the river. Maybe he just doesn¡¯t want to spend too much energy.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    The people on the riverbank were all waiting to cross the river.


    However, the prices of these ships were enormous and the materials were comparable to Mortal weapons. They also needed array masters to enhance them to be able to stand against the waves.


    Normal ships were obviously unable to cross the River of Rage. Only those made with special material and enhanced with arrays were able to stand the chaotic waves.


    ¡°The crossing sky ship is almost here.¡±


    Someone in the riverbank lowly shouted and everyone stared at the river.


    Zhao Feng had the strongest sight and soon saw a dark silver tens of yards long ship appear.


    The surface of the ship was engraved with complex arrays which gave off a earth yellow colour.


    Zhao Feng estimated that his full strength attack wouldn¡¯t even be able to harm this ship.


    It was only because of these arrays that the ship was able to stand tall and not crushed by the enormous waves.


    There was several docks near the River of Rage, and near every dock, there would be ships similar to the Crossing sky ship that sent customers back and forth.


    At this moment only a few people had come off the Crossing sky ship.


    Usually people only thought of entering the Canopy Great Country and not many would leave after they entered.


    On the Crossing sky ship were four sailors with muscular figures. Their muscles were like bronze metal and gave off an invisible pressure.


    ¡°These four sailors are all proficient in body strengthening and have reached the 7th Sky. They can use their body alone to fight against cultivators at the same rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised. If these experts were young enough they had the chance to fight for a place of a Star in the Alliance Banquet.


    ¡°There¡¯s a total of 49 places. Everyone pays 300 low grade primal crystal stones.¡±


    The sailor at the front announced.


    Sou.


    The second the words exited his mouth, the golden robed person flew onto the Crossing sky ship, his True Spirit Realm aura caused the expression of the four sailors to change slightly but still took the primal crystal stones.


    ¡°300 low grade primal crystal stones? That¡¯s not a small sum.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    300 low grade primal crystal stones were 30000 substandard primal crystal stones.


    In the world of cultivators, substandard primal crystal stones were the lowest currency and were mainly used in the bottom echelons.


    ¡°The Canopy Great Country has rich resources and the number of primal crystal stones extracted are extremely high, hence the price of everything is also higher.¡±


    Zhao Feng soon understood.


    He had won ten thousand low grade primal crystal stones from the Alliance Banquet and this was comparable to one million substandard primal crystal stones.


    This sum made the eyes of others red in the Thirteen Clans, but in this place, ten thousand low grade primal crystal stones couldn''t be considered to be much. Normal cultivators at the half-step True Spirit Realm were even richer than Zhao Feng.


    Sou! Sou!


    The group all charged towards the Crossing sky ship.


    The Crossing sky ship was docked at the river bank but there were still powerful winds here that was able to push cultivators at the Ascended Realm away.


    Therefore the only entrance was the ship gate.


    ¡°41¡­ 42¡­. 7 places left.¡±


    The head sailor said.


    The ship would leave when the 49 spaces were filled up.


    The remaining group were getting impatient.


    One had to know that every a Crossing sky ship came every ten days and they needed to repair the protective arrays on the ship. Furthermore, a Crossing sky ship would be the only around in a span of tens of thousands of miles.


    ¡°Fast.¡±


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had arrived here so he didn¡¯t know the situation, and therefore was behind.


    Qiu~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed with arcs of lightning but his movement was still a few steps too late compared to those that were prepared.


    When Zhao Feng had arrived, there were four people fighting for the remaining two places.


    ¡°Sky Frost Dominance Fist!¡±


    One of them was a silver haired youth that sent a wave of ice in a ten yard radius.


    That youth forced a cultivator at the 7th Sky and two at the 6th Sky back.


    The power here was close to Cang Yuyue¡¯s on the Alliance Banquet.


    Zhao Feng was extremely shocked. The Canopy Great Country¡¯s resources were extremely rich and geniuses were like fishes in a river.


    Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be his match without using his bloodline power. Only if he had reached 7th Sky again would he be able to.


    After the silver haired youth landed on the ship, Zhao Feng and three others were left behind.


    Charge!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Yin Shadow Cloak flapped as his body became darker and the sound of lightning increased.


    At that instant, his speed surpassed the remaining person at the 7th Sky and the two at the 6th Sky.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    These three people weren¡¯t simple. Their strength was similar to Ao Yuetian¡¯s and Xu Zixuan¡¯s.


    ¡°Lightning Barrier.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t evade in the slightest and a spiderweb made of lightning formed a barrier around him.


    Boom--


    The attacks of the three landed on Zhao Feng and the lightning arcs flew everywhere.


    The 7th Sky expert harrumphed as his body was numbed for half a breath; the other two were pushed back several yards and a few scorch marks were left on their body.


    Qiu---


    Before they could react Zhao Feng had turned into a blur and had succeeded in taking the last spot.


    After doing this, Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing rate increased as his expression turned solemn.


    Ever since entering the Canopy Great Country, the strongest feeling he felt was the competition.


    Competition was extremely intense.


    Just for a ship crossing the river needed a fight.


    ¡°800 low grade primal crystal stones.¡±


    The sailor said expressionlessly.


    ¡°Why 800?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly.


    He clearly remembered that everyone only had to pay 300 and this was already very expensive.


    ¡°Your flying pet costs an extra 500.¡±


    The sailor replied impatiently.


    Zhao Feng silently handed over 800 primal crystal stones. The Azure Sharp Swallow¡¯s value was far more than this.


    However, the golden robed person¡¯s Four Winged Flying Cloud Leopard didn¡¯t cost him any extra.


    As if sensing Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, the golden robed person smiled faintly, ¡°You¡¯re not from Canopy Great Country are you?¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Hearing this the others on the ship looked towards him with disdain, as if they were looking at a beggar.


    However the golden robed person didn¡¯t show any signs of underestimation and explained patiently, ¡°I have a Spiritual Pet Bag, specifically used to carry flying beasts.¡±


    ¡°Senior, may I ask you how much this Spiritual Pet Bag costs?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes landed on a black sack on the person¡¯s waist.


    ¡°One hundred thousand primal crystal stones.¡±


    The golden robed person responded casually.


    One hundred thousand primal crystal stones.


    Zhao Feng took a cold breath. This Spiritual Pet Bag alone was worth more than ten times the amount he owned.


    Hence.


    Another thought of the Canopy Great Country appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind apart from the competition here.


    It was money.

 252 The Little Thieving Cat’s price

    Miao miao!


    Maybe it was because the little thieving cat had smelled the scent of money, the cat appeared from the interspatial bracelet and looked around with twirling eyeballs.


    ¡°What a cute cat!¡±


    ¡°Oh my god! This little cat looks extremely smart.¡±


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat put its paws out and puffed out its chest, causing the young girls to laugh.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart clenched as he swore in his heart. _Why did it come out?_ He might even have to pay more primal crystal stones.


    Luckily.


    The little thieving cat was only the size of a palm and was considered a small pet, hence there was no extra fees.


    The golden robed person inspected Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat with interest, but didn¡¯t say anything.


    Shua.


    After the 49 places were taken, the four sailors pulled up the sails and began sailing the ship towards the opposite bank.


    The waves and winds of the River of Rage were extremely dangerous. Even those at the 7th Sky wouldn¡¯t be able to last long before being dragged down into the depths of the river.


    Under these conditions the Crossing sky ship¡¯s speed was extremely slow.


    ¡°The River of Rage is around one hundred miles long is considered a thin area. With our current speed at least four to five days needed to reach the other side.¡±


    Zhao Feng calculated.


    Four to five days wasn¡¯t long if one cultivated, but the problem was that the ship would shake incessantly due to the waves. After all, the ship would have to face waves with the force of a million kilograms.


    Not only that.


    When the waves were at its strongest, the Crossing Sky Ship would shake and had the danger of capsizing.


    Under these situations even a small nap was dangerous.


    Due to the fact that the ship was incessantly shaking, most people used True Force to stabilise themselves.


    The most casual person was the golden robed person.


    He was like a nail on the ship. No matter how strong the wind blew or the rain was, he never moved.


    Apart from him were those at half-step True Spirit Realm. They also seemed to find it pretty easy.


    These cultivators at the half-step True Spirit Realm were all extremely powerful and had cultivated the Qi of half-step True Spirit. They were much stronger than those in the Thirteen Countries.


    Luckily the Crossing sky ship wasn¡¯t rocking the entire time. There were moments when the water would be unusually calm.


    When the Crossing Sky Ship was calm, the experts on the ship would interact with one another and sometimes exchange items.


    ¡°Little brother. Are you willing to exchange your Azure Sharp Swallow? This one would be willing to pay two thousand low grade primal crystal stones.¡±


    A middle aged person wearing grey approached Zhao Feng and enquired.


    Two thousand primal crystal stones?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. This wasn¡¯t a small sum in the Thirteen Clans but he still shook his head, ¡°No thanks.¡±


    At present, Zhao Feng still needed the Azure Sharp Swallow. Moreover, he didn¡¯t think that the Azure Sharp Swallow was only worth this much.


    On this ship, apart from the golden robed person, no other flying beast was better than Zhao Feng¡¯s Azure Sharp Swallow. Some didn¡¯t even have flying beasts.


    ¡°How about three thousand low grade primal crystal stones? That¡¯s worth an enormous sum of three hundred thousand substandard primal crystal stones.¡±


    The middle aged person gritted their teeth and asked in a low tone.


    Zhao Feng still shook his head.


    ¡°Three thousand five hundred.¡±


    ¡°Four thousand.¡±


    ¡°Five thousand, that¡¯s my limit.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head no matter what the person offered.


    A few people nearby revealed playful and disdainful expressions.


    They could tell that this middle aged grey clothed person was trying to trick this poor youth, but unexpectedly, the youth didn¡¯t seem to be shocked by the enormous sum.


    The area outside of the Canopy Great Country lacked Yuan Qi and the production of primal crystal stones was low.


    People outside of the Canopy Great Country were easily shocked by the sum of thousands or tens of thousands of primal crystal stones, but the youth before them didn¡¯t seem shocked.


    Zhao Feng was still not moved even when the grey clothed person had raised the price to eight thousand.


    ¡°My Azure Sharp Swallow is worth that much?¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    The Yuan Qi in the Canopy Great Country was denser and the production of primal crystal stones higher, hence the increase in price.


    Items were rare when there was only a limited number.


    The Canopy Great Country was led by martial arts and the beasts nearby had been slaughtered in vast quantities. Some precious spiritual pets were rare here than in the Thirteen Countries.


    Normal people would not ride a flying beast unless they were heading into very dangerous zones.


    Lower quantities of items resulted in higher price.


    Because of these two reasons the price of flying beasts, especially rare ones, were worth a lot in the Canopy Great Country.


    ¡°Hmph. Eight thousand primal crystal stones. Are you selling or not?¡±


    The middle aged grey clothed person¡¯s eyes dimmed.


    Although he was only at the 7th Sky the aura radiating from him was much stronger than the ones in the Thirteen Countries.


    Zhao Feng estimated this person could face off Xu Zixuan and Ao Yuetian or even beat them.


    Just as Zhao Feng was about to reject, a voice sounded from nearby, ¡°Aye? Grey Cat Eagle, are you trying to force this trade?¡±


    A silver haired youth slowly walked over.


    Zhao Feng had an impression of this youth. This person had used the Sky Frost Dominance Fist before and had forced back one person at the 7th Sky and two at the 6th Sky.


    Without using his bloodline power, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have much of a winning chance against him.


    ¡°Qi Jiu, this has nothing to do with you.¡±


    The middle aged man who was called Grey Cat Eagle gazed warningly at the silver haired youth.


    ¡°Fair trade, the higher bidder wins. Do I have no right to participate?¡±


    Qi Jiu hmphed coldly.


    Qi Jiu was also at the 7th Sky and his strength was comparable to Cang Yuyue, causing others nearby to shuffle backwards.


    The grey clothed middle aged person¡¯s stopped saying anything. He couldn¡¯t stop Qi Jiu from bidding a higher price.


    In terms of talent and strength, the opponent was far superior to him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you ten thousand primal crystal stones for this Azure Sharp Swallow.¡±


    Qi Jiu¡¯s voice was faint but contained a coldness to it.


    Ten thousand low grade primal crystal stones. That was all Zhao Feng had.


    ¡°Eleven thousand.¡±


    The middle aged grey clothed person retorted.


    ¡°I said that I¡¯m not trading my Azure Sharp Swallow.¡±


    Zhao Feng calmly shook his head.


    Hearing this, a lot of people were surprised.


    A youth who had came from outside the Canopy Great Country could resist such a large amount of primal crystal stones?


    ¡°I heard that the cultivators from outside the Canopy Great Country are extremely poor. Is this true?¡±


    ¡°Could this be a young master of a family or the son of a Lord of some country?¡±


    The people nearby exchanged glances.


    Qi Jiu and the Grey Cat Eagle looked at each other in the eye before leaving.


    No one dared to do anything on the ship. Even if there were problems, they would be resolved when they reached the shore.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was the same as usual and the little thieving cat on his shoulder yawned.


    However.


    Just as the two left, another group of people came.


    ¡°This cat is so cute. Can you sell it to me?¡±


    A young girl dressed in blue around the age of fourteen to fifteen enquired. She was like a delicate carving.


    The girl¡¯s age was younger than Zhao Feng, but her cultivation had reached the peak 6th Sky.


    A cold youth in black came along with her. His age seemed to be around Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    The girl and boy walked together shoulder by shoulder. Although their ages were young, their cultivation wasn¡¯t to be underestimated.


    Behind the two was a plainly dressed elder at half-step True Spirit Realm who was shaking his head at this moment.


    ¡°Not for sale.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was cold.


    Why did all these natives of the Canopy Great Country try to exchange with him?


    Was it because they were easy to trick?


    ¡°Azure haired brat. We¡¯re from the Liu Family in the Overlooking Mist Province. State the price and sell this cat to us.¡±


    The youth in black said coolly as if he knew Zhao Feng would agree.


    ¡°Overlooking Mist Province Liu family?¡±


    ¡°Could this Liu family be affiliated with one of the Four Great families in the Canopy Great Country?¡±


    The people onboard were slightly surprised.


    ¡°Liu family? These three come from the Liu family. Is their family my target?¡±


    ZHao Feng thought in his heart and asked: ¡°Any price?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    The youth in black seemed to be extremely confident.


    The girl in blue gazed at the little thieving cat in blue and clenched her fists, ¡°This cat is the smartest and most intelligent pet I¡¯ve seen. I¡¯m definitely going to buy it today.¡±


    ¡°Hmm¡­ how bout I give you 50% off?¡±


    Zhao Feng said slowly.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws, symbolising its disatisfaction. The intelligence made the girl like it even more.


    ¡°State your price.¡±


    The youth in black said smugly. The azure haired brat must have heard the Liu family¡¯s name, hence the 50% off.


    ¡°One billion primal crystal stones.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly gave a price.


    Hearing this, everyone took a cold breath.


    ¡°One billion. This brat does indeed have the mouth of a lion.¡±


    ¡°Even if they sold the Overlooking Mist Liu family, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able gather this much.¡±


    The people here were stunned then started to laugh.


    The youth in black and girl in blue paused.


    ¡°You¡­.¡±


    The youth in black¡¯s face went white then green from anger.


    He had originally thought that a cat would only be worth a hundred primal crystal stones but Zhao Feng had said an extreme amount.


    Before the youth could react, Zhao Feng laughed as he continued, ¡°I meant peak grade primal crystal stones.¡±


    Peak grade primal crystal stones.


    Everyone¡¯s mouths gaped open.


    The golden robed person at the True Spirit Realm laughed and shook his head, ¡°Peak grade primal crystal stones had been long extinct. Even high grade primal crystal stones are hard to find. Now, middle grade primal crystal stones are even considered rare.¡±


    Being someone at True Spirit Realm, he obviously had the right to say.


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to sell the cat, hence the price.


    ¡°Azure haired brat. How dare you play us? We¡¯ll see¡­.¡±


    The youth in black trembled from anger and turned around and left.


    He never would have thought that a countrymen would not give him face.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat was full of joy and smugness and the ruffled Zhao Feng¡¯s face while looking at the youth in black with disdain.


    ¡°I really like this cat¡­..¡±


    The girl in blue bit her lips and gazed towards the plainly dressed elder with watery eyes, looking for help.

 253 Shore

    The eyes of the girl in blue turned watery and seemed extremely sympathetic.


    Those watching felt bad for her and told Zhao Feng to sell the little thieving cat to the girl.


    ¡°Sure, a billion primal crystal stones.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed.


    The youth in black clenched his fists tightly and stared angrily at Zhao Feng. If it wasn¡¯t because they were on the Crossing Sky Ship he might have already attacked.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s one billion primal crystal stones price obviously didn¡¯t have any intention of trading. He was just playing with them.


    ¡°Ting¡¯er, wait till we cross the River of Rage and enter the Canopy Great Country. I¡¯ll buy the exact same cat.¡±


    The plainly dressed elderly person behind the two laughed.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat revealed expressions of disdain as it extended a finger pointing towards the sky. Following this, it then extended two fingers and compared it.


    ¡°It¡¯s saying it¡¯s the only one? There won¡¯t be another?¡±


    The people nearby could obviously understand its meaning.


    Only one in the world. Never another the same.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat nodded its head proudly in response to the crowd.


    Everyone¡¯s jaws were wide open and were extremely surprised. The intelligence of this cat could be compared to the Fox beasts.


    ¡°Uncle Liu, look! It¡¯s saying that it¡¯s the only one in the world. How can you buy the same one for me?¡±


    The girl in blue pouted and gazed unwillingly towards the little thieving cat, not wanting to leave.


    The plainly dressed elder was helpless and the youth in black stared at Zhao Feng with hatred.


    Zhao Feng was speechless. In this short amount of time he had offended two groups of people.


    The former group wanted to buy his Azure Sharp Swallow but enmity appeared after they were rejected.


    This group wanted to buy his little thieving cat but wanted to take it because they couldn¡¯t afford it.


    Sigh, what kind of world is this?


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. Thinking about it carefully, the reason was because they thought he was easy to bully.


    He was alone, had low cultivation, and came from outside the Canopy Great Country. Everyone thought of him as a countryman, and easy target.


    The Crossing Sky Ship slowly moved forwards.


    Zhao Feng could feel Qi Jiu and Grey Cat Eagle¡¯s coldness.


    In the other group, the youth in black was full of anger as he felt that he had humiliated by Zhao Feng.


    The plainly dressed elder at the half-step True Spirit Realm¡¯s eyes twinkled, it was impossible to see his thoughts.


    ¡°If these two groups attack together after I get off the ship¡­..¡±


    Zhao Feng hiccupped coldly.


    Just the silver haired youth Qi Jiu alone was comparable to Cang Yuyue.


    The strongest person should be the plainly dressed elder who had already formed the Qi of half-step True Spirit. He would even be able to resist against normal cultivators at True Human Rank.


    Of course.


    Zhao Feng thought that even if he wasn¡¯t his match, he could run away with his Yin Shadow Cloak and Lightning Inheritance.


    ¡°Little friend, the Overlooking Mist Liu family¡¯s name is very good and we don¡¯t force trades, but we can¡¯t be sure others won¡¯t. If you don¡¯t mind, you can come with us three for the time being.¡±


    The plainly dressed elder suggested.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. The older one was indeed smart.


    He could tell that the current situation wasn¡¯t very good for Zhao Feng and if he helped Zhao Feng solve it, Zhao Feng would owe him a debt.


    At the same time Zhao Feng had to loosen up on selling the cat.


    Zhao Feng went into deep thought.


    He wasn¡¯t scared of these two groups. Even if he wasn¡¯t their match he could retreat safely.


    But¡­ the Overlooking Mist Liu family was a good trace.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know the place well nor know anyone. He wasn¡¯t even sure which Liu family he was to find.


    ¡°How about you three have to ensure my safety after we get off the boat. As for the exchange, if the little thieving cat wants to go with you, I won¡¯t stop it.¡±


    Zhao Feng answered.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    The plainly dressed elder revealed a happy expression. Behind their backs was an enormous family with rich resources. With the little thieving cat¡¯s intelligence, it would definitely come to them with the resources provided.


    After the plainly dressed elder and Zhao Feng came to a deal, the former told the girl in blue and youth in black.


    ¡°Great! Uncle Liu instantly succeeds.¡±


    The girl in blue said happily, as if the little thieving cat was already in her hands.


    The youth in black harrumphed coldly but the enmity on his face didn¡¯t decrease.


    With the little thieving cat as the connection line, Zhao Feng soon knew the three people.


    The plainly dressed elder who was called ¡°Uncle Liu¡± was an Elder of the Overlooking Mist Liu family.


    The girl in blue was called Liu Tingyu and was a genius of the younger generation but from the spoiledness Uncle Liu gave her, one could tell that her identity wasn¡¯t as simple as it looked.


    The youth in black was called Liu Dong, a lover of Liu Tingyu¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng smiled and understood the background of the three.


    The Overlooking Mist Province Liu family was a tiny family in the Canopy Great Country, just like how the Zhao family was in the Cloud Country.


    But even such a small family had Elder¡¯s at half-step True Spirit Realm.


    From this, one could see that the advancement of cultivation in the Canopy Great Country had far exceeded the Thirteen Countries.


    Zhao Feng was a person who came into the city from the farm, so him being a countryman was justified.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Liu Tingyu took out her snacks and fed it to the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat had a huge appetite and didn¡¯t eat normal food. Only till Liu Tingyu took out primal crystal stones and some precious spiritual pills did the little thieving cat eat happily.


    The plainly dressed elder laughed. With the little thieving cats gluttony and greed for money, it wasn¡¯t hard to trick it away from Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng obviously wouldn¡¯t forget to ask Liu Tingyu and company about the situation within the Liu family.


    ¡°May I ask whether there¡¯s a person called Qinxin in the Liu family?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    His trip to the Canopy Great Country was to find this person.


    This mission contributed whether the situation within the Thirteen Countries could be changed or not.


    ¡°Liu Qinxin? In just the Liu family of the Overlooking Mist Province alone there¡¯s more than one person called Liu Qinxin.¡±


    Uncle Liu shook his head.


    There were just too many people with the same name in this vast land.


    Zhao Feng stopped talking.


    Back in the Zhao family, there was more than one person with the same person as him.


    ¡°In the Canopy Great Country, the Liu family of the four great families is our main families. Apart from them there¡¯s Side families and Branch families. From what I know there¡¯s seven Side families and several hundred Branch families¡­.¡±


    Uncle Liu explained.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue.


    The Liu family was the Main family and had seven Side families under them.


    Under Side families were Branch families.


    The Overlooking Mist Province Liu family was just a member of the Branch families.


    After knowing this Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. It was hard to imagine how powerful the Liu family was. The Overlooking Mist Province Liu family probably didn¡¯t even have the right to contact the main Liu family.


    ¡°Am I supposed to find the main family, side family or branch family?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s head hurt.


    The second mission was for him to send a letter. He had thought it would be simpe but the reality was extremely complex.


    From the current situation the chance of being the main Liu family wasn¡¯t high, but not impossible.


    ¡°I hope that it¡¯s someone from the Side family who has some power. If she¡¯s from the Branch family then that¡¯d be troublesome¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    There was only seven side families of the Liu family and each of them were powerful forces.


    But there was just too many Branch families. They were counted by the hundreds.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that when he mentioned the name Liu Qinxin to Uncle Liu, the golden robed person¡¯s eyes flashed.


    ¡°Liu Qinxin? Could it be that person¡­.? Impossible! No way. It must be someone who has the same name.¡±


    The golden robed person took a deep breath and shook his head.


    There were way too many people with the same name. The golden robed person thought.


    The Crossing Sky Ship moved forwards.


    Time quickly passed by.


    In the blink of an eye seven to eight days had gone past and the Crossing sky ship had finally approached the shore.


    The shore on the opposite side of the River of Rage was crystal blue. It looked like a scenery from out of an artwork.


    Zhao Feng was immersed by what he saw.


    ¡°So entrancing, so is this the holy cultivation lands of the Canopy Great Country?¡±


    Liu Tingyu¡¯s eyes flashed brightly and her fists were clenched, amazed by this piece of land.


    The south of the River of Rage was considered desolate and barren. Only by passing the river did one truly enter the Canopy Great Country.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye caught an immeasurable power in the River of Rage. It seemed to be able to rip the continent apart.


    ¡°The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the opposite shore is more than ten times denser than the Thirteen Countries. This River of Rage contains some power that can disrupt the distribution of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the Northern Continent.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath, unable to measure that power.


    ¡°The River of Rage is a very mysterious river. The top ranked Inheritances ¡°Heavens Legacy Inheritance¡± showed up here several tens of thousands of years ago and gave birth to the River of Rage¡­..¡±


    Uncle Liu said as if telling a story.


    ¡°Heavens Legacy Inheritance? An Inheritance even better than the Scarlet Moon Inheritance?¡±


    Liu Tingyu was full of curiosity.


    The Scarlet Moon Inheritance was ranked 3rd of the 4 Great Inheritances and was the reason why the Scarlet Moon Patriarch reached such a height.


    ¡°The Heavens Legacy Inheritance is the most ancient and mysterious inheritance of the four. It¡¯s appearance rate is extremely low and not much information is known about it.¡±


    Uncle Liu smiled faintly.


    There was just not enough information about the Heavens Legacy Inheritance. No one knew whether it was the strongest or not, but it was definitely the oldest and most mysterious.


    ¡°Apparently, every time the Heavens Legacy Inheritance appears, the continent¡¯s situation would change. But this Inheritance hasn¡¯t appeared for a long time.¡±


    The golden robed noble who was silent suddenly said.


    These were just rumours. No one would take it as true.


    The Crossing Sky Ship soon reached the shore.


    Sou-- Sou-- Sou--


    Everyone left the Crossing sky ship. The fastest person was obviously the golden robed person. In a flash, he had disappeared into the clouds.


    ¡°Azure haired brat. Are you sure you¡¯re not going to sell the Azure Sharp Swallow?¡±


    The grey middle aged Grey Cat Eagle closed in on Zhao Feng with two helpers behind him.


    On the other side the silver haired Qi Jiu had a cold mocking smile on his lips.

 254 That’s right, I’m a Beast Tamer

    Grey Cat Eagle had asked two helpers who had both reached the 7th Sky to accompany him and they were at least at Xu Zixuan or Ao Yuetian tier.


    Qi Jiu seemed to be alone and stood on the other side as he smiled coldly.


    There were also a few people standing on the side with gleaming eyes.


    At this point in time, the atmosphere was extremely tense.


    This entire event was caused by the azure haired kid who came from outside the Canopy Great Country.


    The poor countryside brat had a precious flying beast and an intelligent pet cat which caused others to have thoughts on stealing it.


    Everyone thought that this person had no background and low cultivation, hence he was a good target.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t speak but smiled towards Uncle Liu.


    According to their deal before the three from the Liu family needed to ensure his safety.


    Uncle Liu wanted to use soft methods to help Liu Tingyu get the little thieving cat and it was a perfect chance for him to make Zhao Feng owe him one right now.


    ¡°Everyone, this little friend here is a guest of our Overlooking Mist Liu family. I hope everyone gives me some face.¡±


    Uncle Liu scanned the crowd and released his half step True Spirit Realm aura. He was like a peerless mountain.


    In the Canopy Great Country, there was a technique which could allow True Force to slowly change into Qi of half step True Spirit and become more like the Qi of True Spirit.


    The higher percentage of Qi of half step True Spirit converted, the more powerful one was.


    According to Zhao Feng¡¯s knowledge, the half-step True Spirit Realm experts in the Thirteen Countries only had one-twentieth to one-tenth converted.


    However, in the Canopy Great Country, normal half-step True Spirit Realm experts had twenty to thirty percent converted, meaning that they were two times more powerful in comparison to those in the Thirteen Countries.


    The conversion was slow, but the more converted, the higher chance of breaking through to the True Spirit Realm.


    If one converted ninety percent, they had at least a 50% chance of reaching the True Spirit Realm.


    At this moment.


    When Uncle Liu released his aura, the expressions of the Grey Cat Eagle and company changed.


    ¡°Thirty to forty percent has been converted to the Qi of half-step True Spirit.¡±


    A few people amongst the crowd sucked in a cold breath.


    The aura from the half-step True Spirit Realm made others uneasy.


    The Grey Cat Eagle and the two behind him started breathing more rapidly and were full of caution and hesitation.


    If Uncle Liu and company were to protect Zhao Feng, they had no chance of winning.


    ¡°The Overlooking Mist Province Liu family is only a tiny Branch family. It has nothing to do with the main Liu family.¡±


    A cold voice sounded from the side.


    Qi Jiu stood proudly as his silver hair floated in the air. A layer of frost appeared, causing the temperature nearby to drop.


    The coldness made Uncle Liu¡¯s expression change.


    Liu Tingyu¡¯s eyebrows were furrowed as she circulated her True Force to protect herself. Lin Dong the youth in black¡¯s face was white as he struggled to resist.


    ¡°Qi Jiu, all you need to do is hold back that old man. Leave the rest to us and we¡¯ll give you 40% of the profits.¡±


    The Grey Cat Eagle revealed a happy expression.


    Qi Jiu¡¯s strength was stronger than expected and was able to resist Uncle Liu.


    Zhao Feng originally thought that the former was only close to Cang Yuyue¡¯s but from the looks of it right now, he had the ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.


    ¡°Sky Frost Dominance Fist.¡±


    Qiu Jiu¡¯s fist gave off a cold blue aura and a chilling ice blue light flickered towards Uncle Liu and the two.


    ¡°Everyone dodge!¡±


    Uncle Liu exclaimed as his Qi of half-step True Spirit appeared, forming a mud yellow coloured palm.


    Peng~~


    The palm smashed through Qi Jiu¡¯s attack and crushed onwards.


    Qi Jiu¡¯s figure retreated slightly as he turned into cold shadows that attacked furiously towards Uncle Liu.


    ¡°This Qi Jiu has incredible power and his offense is close to Cang Yuyue¡¯s whereas his defense is even stronger. Overall, he¡¯s stronger than Cang Yuyue if the latter didn¡¯t comprehend the seed of sword intent.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his head.


    In terms of age, Qi Jiu was around 4~5 years older than Zhao Feng and Cang Yuyue. After Cang Yuyue¡¯s seed of sword intent had been stabilised, her strength would grow to a whole new level.


    ¡°Attack!¡±


    Grey Cat Eagle exclaimed and led the two helpers at the 7th Sky towards Zhao Feng.


    Liu Tingyu¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t bad and was able to handle a 7th Sky on her own.


    Lin Dong, however, felt slightly troubled facing the other 7th Sky.


    ¡°Azure haired brat, if you hand over the Azure Sharp Swallow right now and cut off your hands and feet, I¡¯ll consider letting you live.¡±


    A brutal smile appeared on Grey Cat Eagle¡¯s face.


    With Qi Jiu holding Uncle Liu back, the three of them at 7th Sky were more than enough to take Zhao Feng and company down.


    ¡°Hehe, is that so? I¡¯m willing to give the Azure Sharp Swallow over, but I don¡¯t know whether you have the ability to take it or not.¡±


    Zhao Feng spread his arms and whistled, ordering the Azure Sharp Swallow to descend.


    Hmm?


    Grey Cat Eagle paused slightly.


    But in the next instant, the Azure Sharp Swallow turned into a blur that was almost unseeable by the eye that shot towards Grey Cat Eagle.


    Shewwww~~~


    A bloody gash was left on Grey Cat Eagle¡¯s shoulder. If it wasn¡¯t because he dodged in time and protected himself with True Force, he would¡¯ve already been sliced in half.


    The feathers of the Azure Sharp Swallow were extremely thin, and adding to the fact that its body was light, it was good at both good at speed and offense.


    Therefore, Grey Cat Eagle had been injured by this sneak attack.


    ¡°Bastard!¡±


    Grey Cat Eagle roared and charged towards the Azure Sharp Swallow, trying to conquer it.


    However, the Azure Sharp Swallow was a beast at the 7th Sky whose speed was peak tier. Would it be that simple to beat?


    Under Zhao Feng¡¯s control, the Azure Sharp Swallow flickered through the air time after time and flew in mysterious routes, forcing Grey Cat Eagle back.


    The spectators nearby were all shocked as they started to discuss.


    ¡°Could this brat be a rare beast tamer?¡±


    ¡°Beast tamer are a rare and very welcomed occupation in the Canopy Great Country.¡±


    At this moment.


    Zhao Feng was the safest of the lot. All he needed to do was use his mental energy to control the Azure Sharp Swallow.


    ¡°The Azure Sharp Swallow¡¯s speed and offense is perfect. It¡¯s only weakness is defense but under my control¡­.¡±


    A smile curled on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see the flaws of Grey Cat Eagle, hence giving the Azure Sharp Swallow the advantage.


    On the other side.


    Uncle Liu and Qi Jiu fought together and the former scanned across Liu Tingyu and company.


    In reality, he had held back a bit to give Liu Tingyu and Lin Dong a chance for real battle experience.


    Liu Tingyu didn¡¯t disappoint; she was clever and had great battle prowess, she was able to easily take on someone at the 7th Sky and even gain the slight upper hand.


    As for Lin Dong who was in stalemate, he could barely take on the 7th Sky but this wasn¡¯t considered bad.


    However.


    What made him most unexpected was Zhao Feng.


    This azure haired youth who came from outside regions could use his flying beast alone to suppress Grey Cat Eagle.


    After all, other than Qi Jiu, Grey Cat Eagle¡¯s strength was the strongest.


    ¡°Hmm? This is mental energy. He¡¯s using a secret technique to control the Azure Sharp Swallow. Could it be¡­. That he¡¯s really a beast tamer?¡±


    Uncle Liu could feel the wave of mental energy from Zhao Feng.


    Beast tamer was a rare occupation that could turn wild beasts into pets. Those who had extraordinary mental energy had a great advantage in this path.


    And in reality.


    Zhao Feng had many chances where he could control the Azure Sharp Swallow to finish the fight, but he wanted to understand the Liu family¡¯s strength.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on his shoulder and waved its paws, cheering for them.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and smiled meekly, almost clapping.


    This scene caused Grey Cat Eagle and company almost to explode from anger.


    Uncle Liu was dazed - it seemed that the cat and human were just watching a show.


    ¡°Hahaha, is the little thieving cat cheering for me?¡±


    Liu Tingyu was full of joy and tried even harder, forcing her opponent to retreat.


    She didn¡¯t see the little thieving cat¡¯s playful expression.


    ¡°Fuck this cat and human. They¡¯re just watching the show and not doing anything.¡±


    Lin Dong was furious but there was nothing he could do. He already had a bad opinion of Zhao Feng.


    He could barely hold the 7th Sky person back. If Zhao Feng helped him, they could at least turn the situation around.


    But the two didn¡¯t show any signs of participating.


    The battle had gone on for a while and Lin Dong was unable to hold on.


    ¡°It¡¯s about time.¡±


    Uncle Liu nodded his head and his Qi of half step True Spirit suddenly rose as he started counterattacking.


    Afterall, he was an Elder of the family and 30-40% of his True Force had been converted to the Qi of half step True Spirit. He instantly pushed back Qi Jiu and gained the upper hand.


    However, Qi Jiu was stronger than he had expected and a layer of ice armor appeared on his body.


    Furthermore.


    Bloodline power surged from Qi Jiu and the area nearby turned into ice.


    ¡°Shit, this Qi Jiu had bloodline power.¡±


    Uncle Liu was stunned.


    The situation right now wasn¡¯t good.


    He originally thought that he could control the situation easily but didn¡¯t expect Qi Jiu to be so troublesome.


    At this time.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head: ¡°Hehe, little thieving cat, it¡¯s time for you to shine.¡±


    ¡°Miao miao!¡±


    The little thieving cat shook its head unwillingly.


    Before it could react Zhao Feng picked it up by its ears and threw it towards the Grey Cat Eagle.


    What the heck?


    The Grey Cat Eagle was fighting the Azure Sharp Swallow and saw that the little thieving cat was being thrown towards him like a ball.


    A cold light flashed in his eyes as he stabbed out towards the little thieving cat.


    Shua!


    THe little thieving cat suddenly disappeared from his sight.


    Before he could react a cat paw had slashed over his throat.


    Plop!


    The throat of the Grey Cat Eagle burst open and blood poured down onto the ground.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat reappeared.


    ¡°This cat knows how to turn invisible!¡±


    ¡°This cat is extremely crafty. It killed the Grey Cat Eagle in one move.¡±


    The expressions of the spectators nearby changed.


    The little thieving cat was obviously not a normal pet.


    After the Grey Cat Eagle was killed, the battle turned one sided.


    Qi Jiu looked deeply towards Zhao Feng before leaving.


    Uncle Liu let out a breath and wiped his cold sweat. He had almost failed to control the situation just then.


    His eyes soon turned towards Zhao Feng and said cautiously: ¡°May I ask this little friend, are you a rare beast tamer?¡±


    Beast tamer?


    Zhao Feng could feel the expectation and respect within Uncle Liu¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Yeah¡­ that¡¯s right. I¡¯m a beast tamer.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts spun as he nodded his head.

 255 Flooding Lake City

    ¡°.... That¡¯s right. I¡¯m a beast tamer.¡±


    Zhao Feng replied casually as he shamelessly took this title.


    Uncle Liu and the present crowd had already believed to an 80-90% extent that he was a beast tamer. Afterall, they had seen Zhao Feng personally control the Azure Sharp Swallow and suppress Grey Cat Eagle who was at 7th Sky.


    Suspicion rose within the youth in black, Lin Dong, ¡°This countryside brat had suddenly become a respectable beast tamer¡­ that¡¯s way too unbelievable¡­¡±


    Canopy Great Country was enormous and thus, large numbers of flying beasts were required.


    No matter how fast a person was, even an expert at True Spirit Realm would be fatigued after a journey ranging tens of thousands of miles long.


    Hence, every expert had a flying pet. The golden robed person before had a Four Winged Flying Cloud Leopard which could be used in both combat and travel.


    How tiring and depressing would it be to walk tens of thousands of miles?


    All in all.


    Flying pets were rare in Canopy Great Country and were fought over in some places.


    This meant that beast tamers were extremely welcomed in Canopy Great Country, however, it was unfortunate that the people with this occupation was too low - even fewer than array creators and pill makers.


    Hence, when Zhao Feng confirmed that he was a beast tamer, Uncle Liu¡¯s eyes gleamed with excitement.


    ¡°So you¡¯re a beast tamer. No wonder you have such a smart and adorable pet.¡±


    Liu TIngyu¡¯s pair of glistening eyes gazed admiringly towards Zhao Feng.


    Of the three, only Lin Dong¡¯s expression was dim and suspicious.


    In a normal situation, he too would have believed it, but due to the fact that he disliked Zhao Feng, he couldn¡¯t accept this ¡®reality¡¯.


    ¡°Uncle Liu, Sister Ting, I¡¯ve never heard of such a young beast tamer---¡±


    Lin Dong asked in a manner which was against Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Dong¡¯er, don¡¯t be disrespectful.¡±


    Uncle Liu scolded and interrupted Lin Dong in the middle of his sentence.


    Small families didn¡¯t have beast tamer¡¯s and were extremely hard to find.


    For example, the Overlooking Mist Liu family had a few beginner beast tamers that took care of the food and the healing of their pets, but it was extremely hard for them to tame Yao beasts.


    The Overlooking Mist Liu family once had a professional beast tamer but he didn¡¯t stay long and was soon hired by other families.


    ¡°I don¡¯t need prove my identity to anyone.¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced towards Lin Dong, his words full of confidence.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat nodded on the side and waved its paws, as if saying its owner was right.


    Seeing this, Uncle Liu and Liu Tingyu believed it to an even greater extent.


    Lin Dong was still slightly suspicious but he didn¡¯t dare retort.


    If Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t a beast tamer, how could he own an Azure Sharp Swallow with his measly 6th Sky cultivation.


    ¡°Beast tamer big brother, is our deal from before still valid?¡±


    Slyness flashed in Liu TIngyu¡¯s eyes.


    Uncle Liu smiled, ¡°According to the deal from before if the little thieving cat chooses to go with us, you won¡¯t stop it?¡±


    ¡°Of course the deal is still valid. But it¡¯s not easy to take a pet away from a beast tamer.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat pounced on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder as it wagged its tail, declining Liu Tingyu¡¯s luring offers with a proud face.


    This result didn¡¯t surprise Uncle Liu.


    If the little thieving cat could be so easily taken away from Zhao Feng, then the latter would tarnish the title of beast tamer.


    Uncle Liu sighed and suggested, ¡°How about this? Give Ting¡¯er a hundred days time. Furthermore, you¡¯re a beast tamer. I don¡¯t think you would use other methods in this process.¡±


    ¡°Of course I wouldn¡¯t, but a hundred days time¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng purposely hesitated.


    Up to now, only half his task had been completed.


    ¡°Hehe, isn¡¯t little friend finding a girl of the Liu family? Our destination is one of the seven Side families, the Liu family of the Flooding Lake City.¡±


    Uncle Liu laughed and said.


    Flooding Lake City Liu family.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart leapt - he had finally found a chance to encounter the higher echelons of the Liu family.


    ¡°The Flooding Lake City Liu family is a powerful force. When we reach there, it¡¯ll be much easier for little friend to find that person. From what I know, the Flooding Lake City Liu family has a more complete family tree which would make it easier for you to find that person.¡±


    Uncle Liu continued as he saw that Zhao Feng was slightly moved.


    Uncle Liu already knew that Zhao Feng was looking for someone on the Crossing sky ship.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Great!


    Liu Tingyu couldn¡¯t help but jump with joy and started to play with the little thieving cat.


    Uncle Liu let out a breath. If he could create a relationship with a beast tamer who had potential, it would be great for the Overlooking Mist Liu family.


    They didn¡¯t realise that as Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat looked towards each other, smugness could be seen in their eyes.


    From the moment Zhao Feng took on the title of beast tamer, he had wanted to use this identity to go down the trail of Uncle Liu and company.


    What made Zhao Feng even more blessed was that they had the chance to enter one of the seven Side families of the Liu family; this was a massive help for him to find the person.


    Because of this, Zhao Feng gave the little thieving cat a hundred low grade primal crystal stones for its help.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the little thieving cat, Zhao Feng probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to encounter the Liu family so easily, interacting with them would only cause suspicions.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng complained in his heart, ¡°Master, the information you¡¯ve given me is far too little. There¡¯s several hundred families with the Liu name and there are also countless people named Liu Qinxin.¡±


    In reality, Zhao Feng had wrongly blamed First Elder.


    First Elder had never been to the Canopy Great Country and didn¡¯t even know much personal information about ¡®that person¡¯. The relationship between them had also happened a long time ago.


    First Elder¡¯s true aim was to preserve Zhao Feng and guarantee his safety. The former didn¡¯t have too much hope about the situation within the Thirteen Countries.


    After crossing the River of Rage, Zhao Feng and Uncle Liu and company had officially banded together.


    Although Uncle Liu was an Elder of a Branch family, he hadn¡¯t crossed the River of Rage a large number of times.


    ¡°Every five years, the Overlooking Mist Province Liu family would recommend a genius or two to the Side family¡­.¡±


    Uncle Liu didn¡¯t hide the process.


    Zhao Feng revealed a look of understanding. These ¡®recommendations¡¯ were like the one he had gotten in the Green Leaf Village.


    Back then, he and Zhao Xue had been recommended to the Zhao family of the Sun Feather City but they had walked down different paths.


    Liu Tingyu and Lin Dong were both recommended to the higher levels. How similar were they to Zhao Feng?


    Additionally, Zhao Feng could tell that Liu Tingyu¡¯s talent was far above Lin Dong¡¯s, meaning that the lives of the two would be totally different even though Lin Dong¡¯s talent wasn¡¯t bad, it was only comparable to Yang Gan.


    Pa!


    Uncle Liu lightly slapped his spiritual pet bag and a large eagle, whose wingspan was close to ten yards, had appeared.


    Zhao Feng did not possess a spiritual pet bag, hence he could only be envious.


    ¡°Come up.¡±


    Uncle Liu petted the eagle and let the group on.


    In terms of cultivation, this green eagle had reached the 7th Sky, but in terms of speed and rarity, it wasn¡¯t as good as Zhao Feng¡¯s Azure Sharp Swallow.


    However, its body size was better and could therefore carry more people. In this regard, it had an advantage over the Azure Sharp Swallow.


    The Flooding Lake City Liu family wasn¡¯t too far away from the River of Rage. The distance was around half of the Cloud Country.


    On the way, the rushing streams and mountains caused Zhao Feng¡¯s eyesvto widen.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here was much denser in comparison to the mortal world, one in ten people were already at Ascended Realm.


    In the sky, there would occasionally be flying beasts and figures of some experts at True Spirit Realm.


    Uncle Liu didn¡¯t find it unusual.


    Normal experts at True Human Rank could be seen everywhere.


    Only those above True Human Rank were rare.


    True Lord Rank could flip the clouds with their hands and were all dominant figures.


    Several days later.


    The green eagle entered an area with a lake.


    The Flooding Lake was slightly famous in Canopy Great Country. There were a few dozens factions and families here that were highly ranked.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned across this area and found that the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was even purer and the chances of precious resources appearing was even higher.


    ¡°In the Flooding Lake City, the Liu Side family is one of the three strongest forces. The Flooding Lake City is straight ahead.¡±


    Uncle Liu had been here several times before and explained to Zhao Feng.


    In reality, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had already seen the Flooding Lake City ahead. He had even seen the structure of it.


    The entire Flooding Lake formed a heart shape.


    The part curved inwards was almost at the centre of the lake.


    The Flooding Lake City was at the centre of the island.


    The instant the green eagle flew into the Flooding Lake City, Uncle Liu and company became quiet and cautious.


    There were occasional powerful aura belonging to those at the half-step True Spirit Realm or True Human Rank that flew by on top of the Flooding Lake City.


    With his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but inspect and compare this bustling place with the Thirteen Countries. The latter was indeed just a countryside.


    The Flooding Lake Liu family was located in the East side of the City and was in charge of a large amount of land.


    There was a rule to entering the Flooding Lake City: Large flying beasts had to be kept inside the Spiritual Pet Bag¡¯s. They weren¡¯t allowed inside the city.


    Uncle Liu silently put the eagle away and descended onto the ground, advancing towards the city.


    Zhao Feng was slightly depressed - he didn¡¯t have a Spiritual Pet Bag nor could he afford one.


    ¡°Stop.¡±


    A few guards flew over and intercepted Zhao Feng.


    His Azure Sharp Swallow was considered a large flying pet since it was several yards long and would disturb others inside.


    There were many guards in the air sitting on flying beasts, their strengths ranging from the 5th to the 7th Sky with the leaders reaching the half-step True Spirit Realm.


    Zhao Feng had two choices:


    1. Leave the Azure Sharp Swallow outside.


    But this choice meant that other experts would be able to steal it.


    2\. Give up on going inside the city.

 256 Behave

    Zhao Feng sighed - it was his first time here and he didn¡¯t know anything nor was he familiar with the lands. Hence he could only leave the Azure Sharp Swallow outside.


    He decided to leave the Azure Sharp Swallow in midair and could only keep watch on it with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Right at this time Uncle Liu spoke, ¡°My esteemed Sirs, according to the rules of each city, Beast Tamers are allowed to take their pets inside the city.¡±


    In any world, regardless of how strict the rules were, there would always be a small number of people with special authority.


    For example, when one reached the True Lord Rank, if they wanted to ride into the city with their pets, no one could stop them. The rules were worthless to them.


    Beast Tamers were also a special group of people as they were extremely low in numbers within Canopy Great Country.


    Furthermore, Beast Tamers usually had more beasts and the number of Spiritual Pet Bags might not be enough.


    Therefore, every city would take care of them.


    ¡°Beast Tamer?¡±


    The leading guard at half-step True Spirit Realm and looked suspiciously towards Zhao Feng. The other guards didn¡¯t believe him as well.


    The Flooding Lake City was an enormous city in Canopy Great Country and there were obviously many Beast Tamers within the city, but these Beast Tamers all had some fame and the guards recognised them.


    The one-eyed azure haired youth in front of them looked wicked and evil - no matter how you looked at it, he didn¡¯t seem like a Beast Tamer.


    ¡°Haha, when did the Flooding Lake area have a youth Beast Tamer? This one would like to learn a bit.¡±


    A enthused laugh sounded.


    As the sentence finished a purple armoured youth riding a two-headed red bird flew over.


    ¡°Young Master Liu.¡±


    ¡°Leader Liu.¡±


    The guards all greeted this newcomer with respectful expressions.


    This purple-armoured youth was also at half-step True Spirit Realm, but his aura was even stronger than Uncle Liu¡¯s.


    ¡°His Qi of True Spirit has reached 60%.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly moved.


    It was Uncle Liu who immediately recognised this youth, ¡°Young master Liu.¡±


    The purple armoured youth inspected Uncle Liu and felt that they were slightly familiar, ¡°You¡¯re..¡±


    Uncle Liu immediately told him their identity.


    ¡°Ohh, so it¡¯s the branch family from the Overlooking Mist Liu family¡­. I almost forgot about it. It¡¯s the time of the year for the branch family¡¯s to send their recommendations in.¡±


    Young master Liu Yuan finally remembered.


    In the past, when Uncle Liu had sent over the branch family disciples to the Flooding Lake Liu family, he had seen this young master.


    Through the introductions, Zhao Feng found out that this young master Liu Yuan was the stepson of the Head of the Liu family and was outstanding in the younger generation.


    ¡°This is Zhao Feng, a Beast Tamer I just met who came with us to the Flooding Lake City¡­¡±


    Uncle Liu introduced Zhao Feng.


    Young master Liu Yuan faintly nodded his head, not placing much importance on Zhao Feng being a Beast Tamer.


    In this era, Beast Tamers were extremely welcomed and there were cases of people pretending to be one.


    ¡°It¡¯s my honor to meet such a young Beast Tamer. Coincidentally my two headed Flaming Rage Bird¡¯s attitude seems to be very chaotic. Could Beast Tamer Zhao help a bit or two?¡±


    As soon as Liu Yuan¡¯s words finished the two headed Flaming Rage Bird below him screeched and a wave of flames appeared.


    Liu Yuan was ¡®forced¡¯ off the two headed Flaming Rage Bird¡¯s back.


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly in his heart. This Liu Yuan was an actor that had purposely enraged the two headed Flaming Rage Bird in order to cause him trouble.


    Everyone could see that the timing of the birds enraging moment was too coincidental.


    Uncle Liu and company wanted to say something but stopped themselves.


    Afterall, if Zhao Feng was a true Beast Tamer, such everyday problems like this should be solvable.


    Furthermore, they wanted to see Zhao Feng¡¯s Beast Taming powers.


    ¡°Sure. However¡­ I¡¯m not doing it for free.¡±


    Zhao Feng said calmly as he glanced at the enraged bird.


    A reward?


    Everyone paused. This Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t easy to treat but true Beast Tamers weren¡¯t either.


    ¡°As long as you can make my little red flames calm down, I can satisfy any requirement.¡±


    Liu Yuan said confidently.


    Zhao Feng immediately asked Liu Yuan to help find a girl of the Liu family.


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    Liu Yuan said without hesitation.


    His little red flames had become angry by his will. If Zhao Feng could truly calm it down, it would display his true skills.


    Furthermore, a Beast Tamer was someone that even the Flooding Lake Liu family needed to build a good relationship with. Normal requirements could be easily satisfied.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and slowly walked towards the two headed Flaming Rage Bird.


    The two headed Flaming Rage Bird flapped its wings and the wall of flames rose, as if showing off to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Behave¡­ behave¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and reached out with a finger and rotated it in circles.


    At the same moment he walked slowly towards the two headed Flaming Rage Bird.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat also appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and bared its teeth towards the two-headed Flaming Rage Bird.


    The latter stiffened and didn¡¯t move.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s finger that was drawing circles seemed to contain a mysterious power that could calm people down. The little thieving cat¡¯s actions also seemed to have some effect.


    The human and cat arrived safely in front of the two-headed Flaming Rage Bird.


    ¡°Behave¡­ behave¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng reached out and petted the two-headed Flaming Rage Bird¡¯s head.


    This scene stunned everyone nearby.


    In front of the two-headed Flaming Rage Bird, Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was like a dwarf compared to it.


    But he had used such a simple tactic to calm the bird down and the latter was extremely quiet.


    Liu Yuan was shocked and immediately whistled, but the two headed Flaming Rage Bird only trembled slightly and didn¡¯t have any obvious reaction.


    At this time Zhao Feng had stood on top of the bird.


    ¡°No one can ever stand safely on little red flames back without my allowance. Only Beast Tamers might be able to.¡±


    When Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat both stood on to of the two headed Flaming Rage Bird Liu Yuan found that his little red flames was trembling.


    ¡°Miao¡­ miao¡­.¡±


    The little thieving cat copied Zhao Feng¡¯s action, patting its paw on the little red flames¡¯ head, as if saying, ¡°Behave.¡±


    Liu Yuan, Uncle Liu and company all had bright expressions.


    This was especially so for Liu Yuan as his face twitched. His little red flames had a fiery temper and had never been so humiliated.


    That little cat dared to play with little red flames.


    Although Liu Yuan was slightly angered he was still polite, ¡°Master Zhao is indeed able to interact with animals. This one will satisfy your requirement when I return to the family.¡±


    ¡°En.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head slightly like a true Beast Tamer.


    The more he acted in this manner, the more Liu Yuan and company had to be careful. A Beast Tamer wasn¡¯t easy to find even for the Flooding Lake Liu family.


    After.


    With Liu Yuan leading, everyone passed smoothly and no one stopped Zhao Feng from taking his Azure Sharp Swallow.


    When his title of ¡°Beast Tamer¡± was recognised, he could use this privilege.


    Beast Tamers could not only control their own pets, even the pets of others nearby would be unusually quiet.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng and company entered the Flooding Lake Liu family as guests.


    It was Uncle Liu and company who received better treatment due to Zhao Feng.


    The Flooding Lake Liu family had even sent an Elder at True Spirit Realm to serve Zhao Feng.


    This Elder greeted Zhao Feng and promised to give the ¡°1st tier treatment ¡® to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°1st tier treatment¡¯ was almost the treatment Glorious Elders received.


    Glorious Elders usually needed to be at the True Spirit Realm to receive this ¡®1st tier treatment.¡±


    ¡°Can you give me some time to consider?¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head faintly but didn¡¯t immediately agree.


    His most important task right now was to complete his Master¡¯s mission.


    He also remembered that this person would help organise him when they received the letter.


    But if First Elder was to know that Zhao Feng had the potential to become a Tier 1 Guest of a major family in Canopy Great Country, he would probably tell him to immediately agree and not to send some letter.


    First Elder¡¯s intention was to settle Zhao Feng in Canopy Great Country and that letter was just a connection.


    However.


    Becoming a Tier 1 Guest had even better treatment that Core disciples.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even need connections - his fake Beast Tamer title¡¯s welcoming had far exceeded expectations. This was something Zhao Feng hadn''t believed.


    But obviously.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know his Master¡¯s true intentions and only had the thought of sending the letter to the true owner.


    ¡°This is a ¡°Flooding Liu Token¡±. With this, Brother Zhao can enter the territory of the Flooding Lake Liu family without restrictions.¡±


    The Elder at the True Spirit Realm wasn¡¯t surprised nor unhappy. Instead, he gave Zhao Feng a token.


    Flooding Liu Token?


    Uncle Liu couldn¡¯t help but reveal an envious look. Beast Tamers were far too rare in Canopy Great Country and were occupations which forces fought over.


    This Flooding Liu Token represented Zhao Feng¡¯s noble guest identity.


    With this token Zhao Feng¡¯s actions in the Flooding Lake area would be far smoother.


    Only when Zhao Feng¡¯s discussion had finished was it Uncle Liu and company¡¯s turn.


    ¡°You two come over and test your talent.¡±


    The Elder scanned Liu Tingyu and Liu Dong faintly and said indifferently.


    ¡°Ting¡¯er, go!¡±


    Uncle Liu was full of expectation and nervousness.


    The True Spirit Realm Elder didn¡¯t take out any testing items. Instead, he closed his eyes and felt Liu Tingyu¡¯s pulse.


    ¡°Bloodline inheritance, this is the bloodline of our Liu family ancestor!¡±


    The Elder exclaimed.


    A faint green coloured blood appeared on Liu Tingyu¡¯s skin like emerald.


    Bloodlines were rare even in Canopy Great Country. Furthermore, Liu Tingyu¡¯s bloodline was the of the Liu family ancestors.


    This disturbed the upper echelons of the Liu family.


    Liu Tingyu and Liu Dong had succeeded in entering the Flooding Lake Liu family and had the opportunity to turn from carps into fish.


    Witnessing this scene, Zhao Feng remembered when he and Zhao Xue had entered the Zhao family.


    That night.


    Zhao Feng stayed in a guest room within the Liu family.


    Liu Yuan also handed over a booklet over to Zhao Feng containing list after list of information.


    The names on the booklet were all ¡°Liu Qinxin.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but admire Liu Yuan¡¯s efficiency rate.


    ¡°Oh yeah, I forgot to tell Master Zhao that the daughter of the Flooding Lake City Lord is also named Liu Qinxin.¡±


    Liu Yuan said after being hesitant for a period of time.


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t pay much attention to it as there were far too many people with the same name.


    ¡°The key point is that this Liu Qinxin is finding a husband through sparring.¡±


    Liu Yuan continued as sweat appeared on his head.

 257 Flooding Lake City Lord

    Finding a husband through sparring?


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but shake his head speechlessly.


    Canopy Great Country was enormous and the number of people named Liu Qinxin wasn¡¯t low in number.


    It was only a coincident that a person named ¡°Liu Qinxin¡± was finding a husband through sparring.


    ¡°How old is the daughter of the City Lord and what¡¯s her cultivation like?¡±


    Although Zhao Feng thought the likelihood of her being the person he was looking for was low, he still asked for assurance.


    According to logic, the receiver¡¯s cultivation and age would be around the same as First Elder¡¯s.


    But nothing was certain.


    Once someone entered True Spirit Realm, their ages couldn¡¯t be calculated. Those over a hundred could look like twenty or so.


    At the same time, there were geniuses who had entered True Spirit Realm at the age of twenty.


    As long as one entered the True Spirit Realm, regardless of age, they would become people on the same level who had the possibility to get to know each other.


    Hence, this left Zhao Feng with two restrictions in the list:


    1. The person¡¯s cultivation wasn¡¯t too far away from First Elder¡¯s. At least, it was not much lower than his.


    2. Their ages wouldn¡¯t be too distant and to make sure no one was skipped, they had to be over twenty.


    There were a few more requirements such as travel hobbies.


    The distance from Canopy Great Country to the Thirteen Countries was extremely far and only those who liked to travel would leave a Great Country in order to go a inferior place such as the Thirteen Countries.


    ¡°The daughter of the City Lord is extremely mysterious and likes to spend most of her time travelling. Her cultivation should have reached half-step True Spirit Realm. She¡¯s not too old, probably younger than twenty. As for her looks, some say she¡¯s a beauty while others say she¡¯s hideous¡­.¡±


    Liu Yuan said uncertainly.


    ¡°The Flooding Lake City Lord is also of the Liu family. Why is it that you don¡¯t even know her age or looks?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that this was unusual.


    According to his requirements, this Liu Qinxin could be the person he was looking for.


    Liu Yuan smiled bitterly, ¡°Not only is the daughter of the City Lord is mysterious, even her mother is veiled in mystery. She and the Ciy Lord had only spent a short period of time together before disappearing. However, the City Lord still hasn¡¯t forgotten her, choosing not to wed ever since.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed; the daughter of the City Lord was too mysterious. The information about her wasn¡¯t accurate at all.


    ¡°The battles to decide the fiance are only a couple days away. If Master Zhao is interested, you can enter as well. As long as one¡¯s age doesn¡¯t surpass 25 and has the capabilities to defeat her, they can become the son-in-law of the City Lord.¡±


    Liu Yuan said in a probing tone.


    Zhao Feng shook his head. Battles to decide the fiance? He wasn¡¯t interested in the slightest.


    However, he had thought of meeting this girl. Afterall, she was still on the list and couldn¡¯t be dismissed.


    Next.


    Zhao Feng perused through the booklet.


    Every person on the booklet was named Liu Qinxin and they ranged from teenagers to those over a hundred.


    All of these people had come from the Liu family but had all walked onto different paths in life.


    Under the restrictions, Zhao Feng began inspecting the list and ended up with only ten that fitted the requirements.


    Of these ten, only two had reached True Spirit Realm, and the others were all at the half step True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°These two are indeed unusual. One¡¯s an Elder of the Qin Sword Palace, and the others an Empress.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take a cold breath.


    One Emperor, Three Sects, Four Families.


    The Qin Sword Palace Elder and the Empress were both from one of the eight great forces.


    Furthermore, their ages and cultivation all suited the requirements.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath as he massaged his temples.


    His mission had finally found its way.


    Apart from Goddess Qin of the Qin Sword Palace and Empress Qin, it wasn¡¯t too hard to see the others.


    Zhao Feng recorded the list and information into his mind and went to rest.


    His cultivation hadn¡¯t grown much on the journey from the Thirteen Countries to Canopy Great Country, but his foundation was extremely stable.


    The late stages of the 7th Sky were extremely hard to reach and every step required countless effort and price.


    Back at the Alliance Banquet Zhao Feng would¡¯ve taken at least two to three years to reach the 7th Sky under normal circumstances if he hadn¡¯t eaten the Shedding Spiritual Pill.


    After breaking the Ghost Mark Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had dropped to the 6th Sky but he didn¡¯t regret it.


    Now.


    Zhao Feng had reached the holy cultivation lands of a Great Country. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and resources were far better and thus, his cultivation speed would definitely exceed the Thirteen Countries.


    After cultivating quietly for the night.


    The second day.


    Zhao Feng first went to greet Uncle Liu and company. Uncle Liu began to depart as he wore a red face. After all, there was a prodigy was from his branch family.


    Liu Tingyu was still immersed by the little thieving cat and continued to play with it.


    ¡°This old one will be leaving soon. I hope Master Zhao can look after Ting¡¯er and Dong¡¯er.¡±


    Uncle Liu handed Zhao Feng a faint silver bag before he left.


    This?


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised - it was a Spiritual Peg Bag worth at least a hundred thousand low grade Primal Crystal Stones.


    ¡°This is just a little gratitude, it isn¡¯t much.¡±


    Uncle Liu smiled.


    Although a hundred thousand low grade Primal Crystal Stones was a large sum, it wasn¡¯t much for a family.


    Uncle Liu had calculated that Zhao Feng urgently needed a Spiritual Pet Bag as it would be troublesome with his Azure Sharp Swallow.


    ¡°Thank you Uncle Liu.¡±


    Zhao Feng accepted the Spiritual Pet Bag. He couldn¡¯t afford a Spiritual Pet Bag as of present.


    When he witnessed Zhao Feng accept the bag, Uncle Liu left.


    Beast Tamers were welcomed everywhere and were people that families and factions fought over.


    If Zhao Feng stayed in the Flooding Lake City, he would definitely be treated as a guest of the Liu family and would be able to take care of Liu Ting¡¯er and Liu Dong.


    Zhao Feng understood Uncle Liu¡¯s intent as he inspected this Spiritual Pet Bag.


    Spiritual Pet Bags could store beasts within and was done so by using a high skilled array.


    The difference between the interspatial bracelet and the spiritual pet bag was that the latter could store ¡®live items¡¯ and had certain interactions with the Yuan Qi outside.


    But the disadvantage was also obvious. Because the dimension with in Spiritual Pet Bags were large, it wasn¡¯t stable and was usually only able to be used for 10 years.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s interspatial bracelet only had a metre cubed space inside but the dimension was extremely stable. It could be used for hundreds of years of even thousands of years without collapsing.


    As for why the little thieving cat could stay inside the interspatial bracelet for such a long time and enter and exit it as it pleased? Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know why.


    As he now had a Spiritual Pet Bag, Zhao Feng put the Azure Sharp Swallow within and the little thieving cat also moved ¡®houses.¡¯


    Apart from bringing some primal crystal stones and colorful stones the little thieving cat carried the flask of alcohol which was even bigger than itself.


    This was taken from the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground and could create wine by itself.


    Since Zhao Feng didn¡¯t drink much all of it went to the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat snuggled against Zhao Feng¡¯s face before jumping excitedly into the Spiritual Pet Bag.


    The Spiritual Pet Bag had a radius of tens of yards.


    The Azure Sharp Swallow and little thieving cat got along well but the former seemed to be fearful of the latter.


    After the pets settled.


    Zhao Feng walked out by himself. With the Floating Liu Token in his hands, there wouldn¡¯t be any restrictions for him inside the Liu family¡¯s territory.


    As a guest, Zhao Feng¡¯s actions instantly raised the attention of the Liu family. They sent people to lead him around and guards to protect him in secret.


    The treatment and care was perfect.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh. If it weren''t for the letter he had to send, he wouldn¡¯t mind staying in the Floating Lake City for a while.


    ¡°Master Zhao, are you going to participate in the fianc¨¦e battle?¡±


    The person leading the way was Liu Yuan.


    The latter knew Zhao Feng¡¯s intent. The young mistress was called Liu Qinxin and was extremely mysterious. Zhao Feng was definitely focused on her.


    ¡°Not participating, only spectating.¡±


    Zhao Feng was somewhat speechless.


    Liu Yuan smiled and didn¡¯t speak as he led the way.


    About half the time it took tea to be made.


    In front of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion was a stage with a red gold array spanning a hundred to two hundred yards in area.


    Next to the stage were mountains of people, shouting and cheering.


    ¡°There are a total of seven days to fight for the fianc¨¦e, and this is the last day. In the entire Flooding Lake City, no male is her match.¡±


    ¡°Young mistress Liu is indeed great. Almost no one is able to block three moves in total.¡±


    Discussion was bustling in front of the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.


    At this time.


    The mysterious daughter of the City Lord stood on the stage covered in a white dress. She was like a Goddess. Just her figure alone gave everyone countless thoughts.


    She wore a hijab, revealing only her watery eyes and gave the crowd a quiet and calm feeling.


    Although they couldn¡¯t see her appearance, her aura alone made the hearts of the crowd thump.


    In terms of aura alone, none of the women Zhao Feng knew could be compared to use this one.


    Instinctively, Zhao Feng used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to look at her face. Although he didn¡¯t open his bloodline power, it could still penetrate through a small section.


    But what made Zhao Feng shocked was that the hijab the daughter of the City Lord wore seemed to contain a mysterious power which made his abilities fail.


    Furthermore, Liu Qinxin seemed to sense something. No matter how fast he reacted, the daughter of the City Lord¡¯s eyes still landed on him.


    After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s one eyed azure haired appearance was extremely outstanding.


    Because Liu Yuan was leading the way, Zhao Feng immediately walked straight onto the City Lord¡¯s sides spectating stage.


    ¡°This one greets Uncle Liu.¡±


    Liu Yuan was the stepson of the Head of the Liu family and went to greet the City Lord while introducing Zhao Feng.


    ¡°En.¡±


    The City Lord nodded his head faintly and glanced at Zhao Feng.


    The latter immediately felt a pressure comparable to Mount Tai. crush upon him. A casual glance from the City Lord had almost shattered his True Force.


    ¡°This Flooding Lake City Lord has at least reached the True Mystic Realm or maybe even higher. It¡¯s certain that no one in the Thirteen Countries is his match.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and calmly bowed towards the City Lord.


    The City Lord¡¯s face was written with praise, ¡°Mortals say that through youths come heroes. Such young Beast Tamers are indeed rare.¡±


    Zhao Feng could only reply respectfully.


    He was sure that the City Lord had seen that his mental energy source was far greater than others and even his bloodline power might have been detected.


    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re definitely here for the fianc¨¦e battles right?¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was full of smiles.


    Zhao Feng immediately hiccupped and almost fell over.

 258 Bride 1

    ¡°.....You''re definitely here for the fianc¨¦e battles right?¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was full of smiles which made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skip a beat. What he was scared of came.


    Presently, the City Lord ¡®was certain¡¯ that Zhao Feng was here to participate in the fianc¨¦e battles but if Zhao Feng rejected, that would be giving the City Lord zero face in front of everyone.


    In the Flooding Lake Liu family, the City Lord was definitely one of the most powerful people and had even surpassed the Head of the Liu family.


    The City Lord was usually an expert from the Liu family who had the ability to rule this area. After all, there were many forces in the Flooding Lake area with two forces just below that of the Liu family¡¯s.


    ¡°Hehe. Uncle Liu¡¯s eyes are indeed sharp. Brother Zhao is indeed interested.¡±


    Liu Yuan signalled to Zhao Feng for his eyes.


    No one dared to not give face to the City Lord on such a big occasion. Doing so would be the same as offending the whole Flooding Lake Liu family.


    Zhao Feng swore in his heart. He had the feeling he had been schemed against but all he could do at this moment was faintly nod his head, ¡°I am indeed slightly interested but all I wanted to do is see what she looks like. As for the battles, this junior doesn¡¯t dare participate.¡±


    He gave face to the City Lord by saying that all he wanted was to see her looks.


    Furthermore his last sentence gave him a step back.


    ¡°I felt that we would get along the second we met. This is the last day, you¡¯re going on to fight after, ok?¡±


    The City Lord smiled and asked.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng almost fainted.


    Why doesn''t this Flooding Lake City Lord let him go?


    Liu Yuan laughed in his heart and led Zhao Feng into the spectating stands.


    In the spectating stands Zhao Feng¡¯s face was slightly unnatural.


    And on the other side, the Flooding Lake City Lord had a playful smile on his lips, ¡°To be able to become a Beast Tamer at such a young age and possess a large source of mental energy as well as the aura of an Ancient Bloodline that¡¯s even stronger than our Liu family¡¯s¡­. How could I let such a genius pass by?¡±


    That was it.


    Ever since he saw Zhao Feng, the City Lord had discovered his potential.


    The City Lord¡¯s cultivation was immeasurable and had a bloodline himself therefore he could sense Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline without the latter noticing.


    In Canopy Great Country, almost every big family had bloodlines. and to preserve these bloodlines, most would choose people with bloodlines.


    Those with bloodlines were¡¯ nobles¡¯ that surpassed normal people due to their bloodlines.


    And nobles obviously married nobles.


    Being someone who had a bloodline inheritance and had a large source of mental energy at such a young age, the City Lord had his eyes set on this Beast Tamer.


    Poor Zhao Feng was extremely frustrated while sitting in the spectator stands.


    With his intelligence. he almost understood why.


    ¡°This Flooding Lake City Lord shouldn¡¯t be forcing me to marry his daughter right?¡±


    Zhao Feng thought in his heart but thinking about it, why not plan a plan for this plan?


    His purpose was to find out whether the daughter of the City Lord was the person he was looking for or not, and with Zhao Feng¡¯s 6th Sky cultivation he probably wouldn¡¯t be her match. If he lost, he would have no chance in becoming the future husband.¡±


    Thinking up to here Zhao Feng felt better.


    Right at this point in time.


    A bulky male with red hair stepped onto the stage. Red lines appeared on his arms.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Zhong family¡¯s Tiankui.¡±


    Liu Yuan was slightly moved as he stared at the bulky man.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye stared at Zhong Tiankui¡¯s arms and realised that the red lines weren¡¯t tattoos but came from bloodline power.


    ¡°Zhong Tiankui is one of the Ten Prodigies of the Flooding Lake City and comes from one of the three big forces - the Zhong family.¡±


    ¡°Even people from the Zhong family are coming.¡±


    The crowd from below the stage discussed.


    Today was the seventh and last day. There were less people going up but each was stronger than the last.


    Zhong Tiankui was a powerful youth.


    ¡°His Qi of half step True Spirit has reached 60% and has a bloodline inheritance¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t accurately measure this person¡¯s strength, but he was sure that even if he went all out, the chances of winning were low.


    Zhong Tiankui stood on the stage and his red hair was like fire.


    At the same time, the red lines on his arms lit up.


    Hu~


    Zhong Tiankui¡¯s aura erupted like a volcano eruption and the searing heat made the mouths of the spectators below dry.


    ¡°Sorry.¡±


    Zhong Tiankui¡¯s body was immersed in red light, and like a flaming giant, he charged towards Liu Qinxin who was clad in white.


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes were still calm and a jade hairbrush appeared in her hand.


    Jade hairbrush.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he remembered the half of a jade hairbrush First Elder gave him.


    The jade hairbrush in front of his eyes had a unique aura and a green glow appeared.


    Shuuu---


    Streaks of green light appeared in the air in different shapes. Straight lines, curved, circles.


    Each of these lights contained power comparable to the 7th Sky and could instantly crush the walls of a normal City.


    ¡°The power of each of these streaks are comparable to Cang Yuyue¡¯s seed of sword intent in terms of power, and all of them come at once.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook.


    Liu QInxin¡¯s strength was stronger than what he imagined. No wonder she dared set up a fight for her future husband.


    In this generation and in the Flooding Lake area alone, it was hard to find someone who was on par with her.


    However, Zhong Tiankui¡¯s strength was also not to be underestimated. His flaming aura spread outwards and actually blocked Liu Qinxin¡¯s attack head on.


    In a short amount of time, Liu Qinxin had the advantage but Zhong Tiankui wasn¡¯t on the losing end.


    ¡°This is the clash between the geniuses of Canopy Great Country?¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned.


    Just Zhong Tiankui alone was able to sweep all the geniuses of the Thirteen Countries.


    But thinking about it, the Flooding Lake area¡¯s cultivation advancement had far exceeded the Thirteen Countries.


    Just the Flooding Lake Liu family¡¯s strength alone could crush the Thirteen Clans alone, and there was two others forces here with numerous clans and families.


    After exchanging a dozen or so moves. the jade hairbrush in her hand waved.


    Shua---


    Instantly, an even longer green streak of light appeared, and the edges of it was covered in a mysterious silver light.


    With a ¡°Peng¡±, Zhong Tiankui was sent flying by an immeasurable power and a bloody gash was left on his shoulder.


    ¡°What kind of power is that to be able to break through my ¡®Flaming Dragon Protective Body¡± so easily?¡±


    Zhong Tiankui pulled himself up from the ground with a pale face.


    Although he was one of the Ten Prodigies in the Flooding Lake City, he wasn¡¯t the City Lord¡¯s daughter¡¯s match.


    From the beginning till now, no one knew her true strength since she never appeared.


    Only till recently when the City Lord wanted to host his daughter''s wedding did they know a genius had appeared.


    After Zhong Tiankui lost, no one went up.


    The males below the stage had red faces and didn¡¯t dare raise their heads.


    The Flooding Lake City was a major city and was a place where experts were as numerous as the clouds. However, at this moment, the males of the younger generation had been stepped on by a woman.


    ¡°Brother Liu, you¡¯re the stepson of the Head of the family so you don¡¯t have any blood relationship with her. Why don¡¯t you go challenge?¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced towards Liu Yuan curiously.


    Liu Yuan smiled bitterly, ¡°Zhong Tiankui is ranked top three of the Ten Prodigies and I am below him. I had already lost to Qinxin a few days ago.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood.


    Liu Yuan was the stepson of the Head of the family, and if he was able to marry the daughter of the City Lord, he would easily be able to enter the core of the Liu family.


    However, the daughter of the City Lord was too terrifying. No one was able to stop her.


    Of course, Zhao Feng also thought he couldn¡¯t beat her.


    Even Zhong Tiankui who had bloodline power and was at half-step True Spirit Realm had lost. Zhao Feng was only at the 6th Sky right now.


    For the next half day, youths occasionally came over to challenge but was defeated in a move or two.


    Looking at the rumpled youths, cold sweat appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hands.


    What was even more infuriating was the City Lord¡¯s smile towards him.


    Seeing that the sun was about to go down and the battles were coming to an end.


    ¡°End¡­. please end already¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt as if this day was a year long.


    From the current situation, even if he went up there, was no chance of him winning.


    The last stage.


    The sparring stage was unusually quiet.


    The daughter of the City Lord, Liu Qinxin stood in the corner of the sparring stage quietly.


    She didn¡¯t have much hope for this time so her attitude was good.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord sighed.


    Suddenly his eyes spun onto the azure haired youth.


    ¡°From the moment I saw you I knew we would get along. Don¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    A playful smile appeared on the City Lord¡¯s face.


    Zhao Feng cursed in his heart. Who was it that would get along with you?


    But under the gazes of the crowd he couldn¡¯t resist the City Lord¡¯s wishes.


    ¡°Oh well, I can¡¯t beat her strength anyways. All I need to do is check if she¡¯s the one.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes sparkled and paid closer attention to the jade hairbrush in Liu Qinxin¡¯s hands.


    Apart from the fact that her age was slightly younger, her cultivation and hobbies all suited the requirements.


    Especially the jade hairbrush. It was similar to the one Zhao Feng had. Even if this Liu Qinxin wasn¡¯t the one Zhao Feng was finding, there would definitely be some connection.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, go and marry the daughter of the City Lord. This is something countless people are envious of.¡±


    Liu Yuan joked.


    Zhao Feng lept casually onto the sparring stage.


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s pair of eyes landed on Zhao Feng with interest.


    At the same time a bright voice sounded, ¡°This is a young Beast Tamer - Zhao Feng. All Master Zhao wants is to see the daughter of the City Lord¡¯s looks and came especially to participate.¡±


    The crowd below instantly broke out into discussion.


    ¡°Such a young Beast Tamer!¡±


    ¡°Participating just to see her looks?¡±


    Zhao Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood. His respectful words had been said to the public.


    At this moment, even Liu Qinxin was looking at him in a weird manner.

 259 Bride 2

    Hearing the shouting of the crowd, Zhao Feng was speechless. He thought about how he had swept across the entire younger generation of the Thirteen Countries, was he going to lose to a girl here?


    He took a light breath and regained his composure.


    There was no retreat, hence why not use a plan to defeat this plan?


    Firstly, the City Lord¡¯s words couldn¡¯t be gone against. Secondly, he wanted to see if she was the one.


    Liu Qinxin who was clad in white spoke with interest, ¡°Master Zhao comes from afar. This makes Qinxin feel happy. As long as you can beat Qinxin, so what if you want to see me? I¡¯ll be willing to give you all of myself.¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s voice contained a tinge of playfulness which caused the crowd to roar in laughter.


    No one believed a youth at the 6th Sky could defeat Qinxin.


    Of the challengers, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation could be said to be rock bottom.


    After watching Liu Qinxin fight, even Zhao Feng had to admit there was a large gap between the two.


    If it was in a life-death battle, Zhao Feng was confident he could retreat without injury and even turn the situation around.


    But right now, it was a head-on clash.


    ¡°Qinxin, this young Beast Tamer is an esteemed guest of the Liu family. His age and cultivation is lower than yours. Can you suppress your cultivation?¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord suddenly said.


    The instant he said this, the crowd once again broke out into discussion.


    What type of background did this young Beast Tamer have to make the City Lord look at him differently?


    ¡°This¡­. as Father wishes. Qinxin will restrict her cultivation to 7th Sky.¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes furrowed as she glanced towards Zhao Feng, but soon became normal.


    She had obviously not taken Zhao Feng as a true opponent.


    In terms of strength, Zhao Feng was far weaker than the opponents before.


    Although there was some resistance in the crowd, the City Lord and his daughter had come to an agreement so it didn¡¯t matter.


    Furthermore, in their eyes, even if Liu Qinxin suppressed her cultivation to 7th Sky, she could destroy Zhao Feng.


    Hearing this Zhao Feng almost cursed aloud. Why was the City Lord going easy on him?


    If Liu Qinxin suppressed her cultivation to the 7th Sky, Zhao Feng¡¯s chances of winning reached 50%, and if he held back, it definitely wouldn¡¯t escape the City Lord¡¯s fiery eyes.


    ¡°Lady Qinxin doesn¡¯t need to be so courteous. I¡¯d rather see your unrestrained strength so even if I lose, I wouldn¡¯t moan or groan.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately declined.


    Liu Qinxin smiled and gave Zhao Feng a higher review.


    If it was some other youth they probably love the fact that she was suppressing her cultivation. Not only would they get a beauty, they would also become the son-in-law of the City Lord.


    ¡°Begin.¡±


    A bright voice sounded.The person speaking was at the True Spirit Realm.


    As soon as the words finished, Zhao Feng lightly slapped a silver bag on his waist and summoned the Azure Sharp Swallow.


    The Azure Sharp Swallow screeched and turned into a azure blur that shot towards Liu Qinxin.


    In terms of speed, the Azure Sharp Swallow was at the peak amongst the 7th Skys, and under Zhao Feng¡¯s control, the Swallow¡¯s attacking routes were all perfect.


    Zhao Feng retreated and kept a healthy distance between himself and Liu Qinxin.


    At this moment, he was going use the methods of a Beast Tamer to fight.


    Liu Qinxin lightly shouted and sent green streaks of light towards the Azure Sharp Swallow.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression moved - Liu Qinxin¡¯s attacks could turn in midair. This level of agility had exceeded the limits of the 7th Sky; usually only those at the True Spirit Realm could do this.


    Even though Liu Qinxin¡¯s cultivation had been suppressed to the 7th Sky, her insights and skill still remained. All that happened was that the power was decreased by half.


    Boom----


    The Azure Sharp Swallow flapped its wings and successfully blocked Liu Qinxin¡¯s attack. It paused for a moment before darting towards Liu Qinxin¡¯s back.


    The Azure Sharp Swallow was extremely agile and seemed to have the smartness of a human.


    Although Liu Qinxin¡¯s cultivation was suppressed, she could still bring critical harm to the Swallow.


    However, with Zhao Feng controlling the bird, the Swallow¡¯s speed, agility and offense had reached its maximum and could escape every time.


    After exchanging blows for a period of time, the spectators looked at the young Beast Tamer in a different light.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was solemn; Liu Qinxin¡¯s actions were all casual and hadn¡¯t used all her true power yet.


    ¡°She still hasn¡¯t used the jade hairbrush.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes glimmered and a dark azure bow appeared in his hand. In the middle was an ice lotus mark.


    Three arrows appeared on the Luohou Bow.


    Bow?


    The spectators watching smiled faintly, not surprised.


    Bows were suitable for Beast Tamer¡¯s because their pets would be a meat shield while they would support from afar.


    Beng~ Sou-- Sou--


    The Luohou arrows shot through the air and amidst a rumbling of thunder, suddenly broke through the sound barrier, causing a cold flow that pierced towards Liu Qinxin¡¯s small flaw.


    When Zhao Feng took out the Luohou Bow, Liu Qinxin stopped underestimating the former.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Luohou Bow contained the Lightning Inheritance and would create cold flows that would affect the opponent''s speed.


    Although the Luohou arrows couldn¡¯t injure Liu Qinxin, it could distract her, synchronising perfectly with the Azure Sharp Swallow.


    In a short amount of time, Zhao Feng succeeded in facing off against Liu Qinxin.


    As long as a tiny flaw appeared on Liu Qinxin¡¯s body, the arrows would shoot straight towards that area and would synchronise with the Azure Sharp Swallow.


    ¡°This Liu Qinxin isn¡¯t simple. Excluding my bloodline power, I¡¯ve been using all my strength but that still isn¡¯t able to take care of her.¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely wary.


    Shua--


    The jade hairbrush appeared in Liu Qinxin¡¯s hand once again and formed green streaks that blocked the arrows as well as the Azure Sharp Swallow while attacking Zhao Feng at the same time.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed like an illusion.


    He was still able to fire the Luohou Bow and control the Azure Sharp Swallow while travelling at high speed. It could be said he was doing three things with one mind.


    Not only that, Zhao Feng¡¯s offense became even stronger.


    The Luohou Bow and Azure Sharp Swallow complimented each other perfectly.


    Liu Qinxin felt troubled when her cultivation was suppressed to the 7th Sky.


    ¡°If I used my full strength immediately and instantly attacked the Beast Tamer himself, it would have ended the battle straight away.¡±


    Liu Qinxin sighed in her heart, knowing that she had underestimated the enemy.


    The youth in front of her was a Beast Tamer who was at the 6th Sky, yet had the capabilities to exchange blows with someone at the half step True Spirit Realm.


    The crowd watching sighed and exclaimed. If this continued, Zhao Feng would be the person most likely to succeed.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord sat on the spectator stand with a smile on his face, ¡°This brat has such precise archery skills. If Qinxin¡¯s cultivation wasn''t restricted to 7th Sky, the winner will be hard to decide.¡±


    The City Lord finally saw a sizzle of hope.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s display had exceeded his imagination. His Beast Tamer powers, archery skills, and use of lightning had all reached a point where others could only sigh.


    Across those his age Zhao Feng¡¯s strength could top the Flooding Lake area.


    ¡°But Qinxin probably won¡¯t lose this easily.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s expression was calm.


    Right at this moment, Liu Qinxin waved her jade hairbrush, and the edges of the green strikes were covered in a mysterious silver.


    Hu~


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s hair was like a flowing waterfall as her veil gently blew.


    A silver light appeared in her eyes. The color was like limitless space - cold and quiet.


    Bloodline power.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. In addition to the power the attacks from the jade hairbrush emitted, the light seemed to come from the ancient space that crushed downwards.


    ¡°Bloodline power¡­ and an ancient bloodline inheritance.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power boiled.


    Weng~


    A faint azure layer of light spun around his body like a tattoo. It seemed to be from ancient times, old and noble while containing some wickedness within.


    Beng~ Sou- Sou-


    The Luohou Bow pierced through the air and carried a faint azure red shadow which caused its power to rise dramatically.


    Peng~~~~


    The clash between the bloodline powers caused the protective arrays to ripple.


    The spectators below were stunned.


    ¡°His bloodline inheritance is even purer than Qinxin¡¯s¡­.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was overjoyed.


    Liu Qinxin only felt her bloodline power tremble slightly. This was something that had never happened before.


    Although the quantity of her bloodline power exceeded Zhao Feng¡¯s, she didn¡¯t gain any advantage.


    The battle was rising to its peak.


    Zhao Feng used his Luohou Bow to compliment the Azure Sharp Swallow and continued wearing Liu Qinxin down.


    Liu Qinxin had used all her power she could at the 7th Sky and a layer of ice had appeared on her snow white clothes.


    Of course, if this battle continued Zhao Feng would still lose because Liu Qinxin¡¯s recovery rate and True Force quantity both exceeded Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    ¡°If I don¡¯t go all out now, my chances of winning will go down by 5%.¡±


    As he came to this conclusion, Zhao Feng began to expend his True Force rapidly. If his True Force was expended, he would lose honourably.


    Miao miao.


    The little thieving cat suddenly appeared from the Spiritual Pet Bag with stars in its eyes. It hiccuped then took a drink from a flask that was bigger than itself.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The spectators and those in battle were confused.


    ¡°Could it be that he has another strong pet?¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s expression changed slightly.


    Miao miao.


    The little thieving cat put the flask away then started drunkenly walking around slowly.


    ¡°What is this guy doing?¡±


    Zhao Feng heart jumped.


    The little thieving cat was covered in the smell of wine and walked around the stage like it didn¡¯t know what was doing.


    The clash between him and Liu Qinxin could rip a normal cultivator at the 6th or 7th Sky into shreds.


    ¡°Drunk step?¡±


    Only the eyes of the Flooding Lake City Lord were unusual.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s footsteps looked queer but seemed to contain something that surpassed nature. In every move, it evaded the most powerful clashes.

 260 Future husband???

    The clash between Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin created powerful waves of power that rippled the protective array.


    In this situation, even experts at the 6th and 7th Sky would most likely die.


    However, at this moment, a grey cat the size of a palm walked into the battle circle, shaking and swinging.


    This caused some girls watching to scream in horror.


    The little thieving cat was acting like it was walking on a tightrope - the slightest mistake would mean death.


    Sizzles of lightning and shockwaves exploded throughout the stage. Sounds of booming could be heard almost every second.


    Gulu~


    The little thieving cat fell onto the floor and dodged a green sword qi blade that swished over its head. It then immediately rolled across the ground and evaded an arc of lightning.


    Even Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin, who were fighting, sweated coldly for the little thieving cat.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be reckless!¡± Zhao Feng shouted.


    The little thieving cat had a mysterious connection with him. But at this moment, the cat was drunk and its consciousness was blurry, hence didn¡¯t listen to him.


    It was truly drunk.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face twitched. Looking closely at the little thieving cat, it was in a weird state. It wasn¡¯t just drunk, it had entered a queer state.


    The ¡®drunkenness¡¯ of the cat seemed to have entered the little thieving cat¡¯s bones and it would use basic instincts such as dodging or evading to dissolve the attacks.


    A shocking scene appeared on the stage:


    Zhao Feng and Liu QInxin were fighting all out and a little drunken cat was hobbling between the two, occasionally hiccupping.


    Liu Qinxin felt that something was wrong and was wary at first, but she found that the little thieving cat was in a blurry state, as if it was ¡®drunk¡¯ and didn¡¯t have the capabilities to attack.


    Furthermore, there was urgency on Zhao Feng¡¯s face which meant that even its owner couldn¡¯t control it.


    Time passed slowly by.


    The two had gotten used to the existence of the little thieving cat and they didn¡¯t bother with it.


    Plus, the little thieving cat was only the size of a palm and was easily ignored, but there were still some young girls paying attention to it.


    ¡°What a cute cat!¡±


    ¡°That cat is way too cool!¡±


    Stars seemed to pop out of the girl¡¯s eyes as they were attracted to the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat seemed to be drunk and clumsy, but in reality, it was extremely agile, not receiving a single scratch of injury so far.


    Maybe itself didn¡¯t realise that it had attracted some fans.


    On the spectating stand, the Flooding Lake City Lord stared at the little thieving cat for a while with furrowed eyebrows.


    He could easily see Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline potential, but not what the little thieving cat was.


    ¡°Could it be a weird species of Heaven and Earth? It¡¯s definitely newborn but to be able to gain insights into ¡®drunk step¡¯... ? A drunk little cat? Hehe.¡±


    The City Lord became even more interested.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s actions made him look at Zhao Feng with a better perspective. After all, no matter how strong the little thieving cat was, it was still Zhao Feng¡¯s pet.


    Soon, an hour passed by and Zhao Feng¡¯s True Force had decreased dramatically.


    In reality, he hadn¡¯t preserved any True Force and on the contrary, he had expended it significantly.


    On the other hand, Liu Qinxin was still casual - she had the cultivation of the half step True Spirit Realm meaning that she could last longer.


    ¡°En, if I continue on like this, I can lose.¡± Zhao Feng thought.


    He didn¡¯t want to win and didn¡¯t have a high chance of doing so either.


    At this time, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he stared at the white veil covering Liu Qinxin¡¯s face.


    ¡°This girl is extremely mysterious and likes to travel - she also has a hairbrush similar to First Elder¡¯s. Even her age is uncertain¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng eyebrows rose. Could this Liu Qinxin be related to the person that he was looking for? Or was she the one?


    ¡°If I could see her looks, that¡¯d be much better.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but think but knew that it was extremely unlikely.


    The current situation wasn¡¯t good for him. If they continued, his True Force would be the first to be expended.


    Liu Qinxin, however, was getting more courageous by the moment. She had fully gained the upper hand.


    In normal circumstances, when Liu Qinxin had suppressed her cultivation to the 7th Sky and Zhao Feng acted more ferocious in the first hour, he still had a certain chance of winning.


    But because he didn¡¯t want to win, he purposely expended his True Force.


    Scanning across the stage, Zhao Feng suddenly found the little thieving cat. The little thieving cat was still doing its ¡®drunk step¡¯, but it looked smugly at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Good chance, the little thieving cat¡¯s mostly awake now.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was filled with joy. If the little thieving cat was awake, Zhao Feng could give simple orders to it.


    Miao miao


    The little thieving cat understood Zhao Feng¡¯s intentions and suddenly turned in Liu Qinxin¡¯s direction.


    Liu Qinxin was suppressing Zhao Feng straight on and was used to the little thieving cat¡¯s existence thus ignoring it.


    Only till the little thieving cat was five to six yards away did Liu Qinxin become wary.


    At this moment in time, the little thieving cat¡¯s drunkenness had obviously faded by over half and it sped straight towards her.


    Shua!


    In a flash, the little thieving cat suddenly disappeared from their sights.


    Some of the spectators started screaming - they were mainly young girls.


    Beng~ Sou- Sou-


    A faint smile curled up on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips and his circulated his bloodline power and fired his Luohou Bow.


    At the same time, the Azure Sharp Swallow pounced ferociously towards her.


    Invisibility?


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes were as calm as water and faced Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks while spreading her Spiritual Sense to scan in a ten yards radius.


    Although she was at the half step True Spirit Realm, her Spiritual Sense strength wasn¡¯t any weaker than those at the True Human Rank and she was able to easily uncover illusions and those invisible.


    However, Liu Qinxin became panicked the next instant.


    Her Spiritual Sense didn¡¯t find any traces of the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    A meow sounded right next to her ear and Liu Qinxin felt a small grey cat the size of a palm appear on her shoulder.


    What!!?


    Not only was Liu Qinxin shocked, even the City Lord and experts at the True Spirit Realms¡¯ expression changed.


    At this moment, Liu Qinxin was stunned. The little thieving cat laughed at her, then like a joker, it ripped away her veil.


    Shua!


    Underneath the veil was a beautiful face. Her nose, eyebrows, lips and teeth were like perfection. Her beauty made others unable to breath - she was like a goddess in a painting.


    At this point, the crowd had become dead silent.


    Countless spectators were stooped, their eyes dazed as they looked at this scene.


    The soul-shaking looks even made Zhao Feng dazed for a little while, but it was soon replaced by disappointment.


    The Liu Qinxin in front of him was far younger than he imagined - she did not seem much older than Zhao Yufei.


    At this moment, the girl¡¯s face was filled with surprise that was quickly replaced by embarrassment and a layer of red covered her cheeks.


    Through these actions, one could tell that she wasn¡¯t old.


    But somehow, Zhao Feng felt a sense of anger and hatred from Liu Qinxin as the latter looked at him with complex emotions.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat seemed to sense that something was wrong and instantly disappeared from Liu Qinxin¡¯s shoulder.


    The next instant, a powerful aura of the half step True Spirit Realm radiated from Liu Qinxin as her aura exploded and her hair was floating about.


    Zhao Feng felt it was hard to breath and at this time, his True Force had all been expended. If Liu Qinxin decided to attack, now it would be hard for him to retreat unharmed.


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s emotions were unstable and her eyes were extremely complex: ¡°you¡­ you pulled off my veil!¡±


    Ehhhhh?


    Zhao Feng was somewhat dazed, but luckily, Liu Qinxin managed to control her emotions.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat reappeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and then it took out an old coin which it flipped mid air.


    Ding!


    The ancient coin landed on the little thieving cat¡¯s paw and instantly, the latter seemed to realise something and flashed into Spiritual Pet Bag.


    On the stage, there was only Zhao Feng and the embarrassed, hateful, angered Liu QInxin.


    ¡°This little thieving cat¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng grinded his teeth - he knew that the second that the little thieving cat sensed that something was wrong, it would disappear. And at this point in time, Liu Qinxin¡¯s mood was obviously not good.


    ¡°It¡¯s my honour to witness your appearance, but this one feels guilty for being unable to be your match.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately bowed in defeat. It wasn¡¯t hard for anyone to see that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t Liu Qinxin¡¯s match.


    It was already glorious for him to fight so long and even pull off the daughter of the City Lord¡¯s veil.


    ¡°This one shall leave now.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and turned into an arc of lightning that flashed away from the stage.


    The spectators only smiled and looked at Zhao Feng with kind eyes, having no intent to stop him.


    ¡°Father¡­ ¡±


    Liu Qinxin looked at the City Lord with embarrassment.


    ¡°Stop him!¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord shouted and the Heavens seemed to shake. His voice was as powerful as thunder.


    Zhao Feng, who was in the middle of running, felt his figure freeze and he almost spat out blood.


    A devastating aura crushed down upon him and it made his True Force almost stop flowing.


    Shua! Shua!


    Two experts at the True Spirit Realm immediately went over and held Zhao Feng.


    The latter knew that resistance was futile and immediately shouted: ¡°This one isn¡¯t Lady Liu¡¯s match. City Lord, what is this for?¡±


    ¡°Haha, to be son-in-law, don¡¯t panic. Since you took off her veil, you¡¯re destined to be her husband.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord smiled and signalled the two True Human Rank experts to let go of Zhao Feng.


    Future husband?


    Zhao Feng was fully dazed. What the heck was going on?


    At this point in time, Liu Qinxin had put the veil back on and landed next to the City Lord as she looked at Zhao Feng with unwilling and embarrassed eyes.


    ¡°Can City Lord please explain?¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    Ever since they had met, the City Lord had calculated against him, making him attend the fight then making Liu Qinxin suppress her cultivation and now giving him the title of ¡®future husband¡¯.


    ¡°Liu Qinxin¡¯s Master told her before she died that the man who first takes off her veil will be her destined partner.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was overjoyed. The moment that he had seen Zhao Feng, he had made plans and the latter had surprised him.


    And now, Zhao Feng was the one who had uncovered Liu Qinxin¡¯s veil, her destined partner.


    ¡°Wait, no¡­ The person that uncovered her veil wasn¡¯t me¡­ it was that cat¡­ ¡± Zhao Feng replied with a sunken face.

 261 Arranging the Marriage

    ¡°¡­ The person that uncovered her veil wasn¡¯t me¡­ it was that cat¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but retort. It wasn¡¯t himself that took off the veil, so why was he blamed?


    At the critical moment, he had tried to pull the little thieving cat into the water, but that little bastard had hidden itself inside the Spiritual Pet Bag and started to sleep.


    ¡°Don¡¯t try to quibble, that cat is your pet, so its actions must be ordered by you. Being a Beast Tamer, pets are your weapon.¡±


    A wicked smile of success appeared on the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s face.


    The nearby people all came over and started to congratulate the City Lord.


    ¡°Congratulations City Lord on getting such a great son-in-law.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, we¡¯ll be waiting to drink the City Lord¡¯s wine.¡±


    These people were all experts at the True Spirit Realm, but they still acted respectfully towards the City Lord.


    Zhao Feng finally understood something. The Flooding Lake City Lord was in control of almost everything here.


    As long as the City Lord wished it, no one would disagree.


    Even if he had a hundred mouths, it would be useless. Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts turned and he soon regained his composure as a plan came into mind.


    ¡°As of right now, it''s impossible for me to get rid of this marriage. Only by extending it further and getting the City Lord¡¯s trust will I have the chance to escape.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew very clearly that it was futile to disagree with the City Lord. It was like trying to stop a carriage with a mantis.


    Since he couldn¡¯t disagree, the only thing he could do was agree. Zhao Feng soon gave a helpless expression as if he had accepted reality.


    ¡°Brat, my daughter¡¯s look and talent is hard to find in a ten thousand mile radius. Even when you were fighting her, she was going easy on you. Which point of her isn¡¯t worth you?¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s expression was slightly dim as he released his True Spirit aura, making even others at the True Spirit Realm feel pressured.


    Zhao Feng could only smile bitterly: ¡°This junior only wanted to see her looks. As for marrying lady Qinxin? This one doesn¡¯t think that he¡¯s worthy.¡±


    Hearing this, the City Lord calmed down and smiled: ¡°You don¡¯t need to act humble. This City Lord¡¯s eyes are good.¡±


    The people nearby smiled. In their eyes, Zhao Feng was the one climbing by marrying the daughter of the City Lord.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng could feel the envious, jealous and unwilling looks of the youths below.


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s watery eyes were filled with unwillingness. It was obvious that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t the ideal husband in her mind.


    This was because Zhao Feng was younger than her and in terms of cultivation and strength, he didn¡¯t exceed her at all.


    However, no one in the Flooding Lake younger generation could reach her requirements.


    Her ideal husband was a man that could create miracle, a peerless genius.


    And the azure haired one eyed youth in front of her eyes didn¡¯t reach her requirements in terms of looks, age, cultivation or success.


    However, her Master had said this on her deathbed and even made her name change to Liu Qinxin.


    Her original name wasn¡¯t Liu Qinxin.


    ¡°Could it be destiny?¡±


    Liu Qinxin was unwilling as she looked at her ¡®destined partner¡¯. The more she looked at him, the more she was filled with bitterness and complexity.


    Zhao Feng had regained his calmness now and accepted the congratulations without emotion.


    ¡°Liu Yuan from today onwards, Zhao Feng will live in the City Lord Palace. Go tell the family about this.¡±


    The City Lord ordered and Liu Yuan respectfully agreed.


    Zhao Feng was someone that they had tried to pull over, but since the latter had become the future son-in-law of the City Lord, they were now one family.


    ¡°Congratulations Brother Zhao on having such luck to be able to marry Lady Qinxin.¡±


    Liu Yuan¡¯s heart was filled with complexity and envy. Where did this brat¡¯s luck come from?


    Not only did Liu Qinxin have a noble identity, her looks and aura were top tier in the world. Even her cultivation suppressed the younger generation of the Flooding Lake.


    ¡°Qinxin, you take Feng¡¯er back to the Palace, I¡¯ll be right there.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord told his daughter.


    Liu Qinxin nodded her head faintly and turned into a white blur like a swan that flashed into the City Lord¡¯s Palace.


    Zhao Feng had to keep up and turn into an arc of lightning that followed her.


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s speed was very quick and she purposely entered buildings, trees and intersections. She seemed to try and purposely shake Zhao Feng off, but no matter how big the City Lord Palace was, it was in the middle of the city and Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was able to lock onto her position and quickly keep up.


    Liu Qinxin sat in the middle of a lounge and thought when would the azure haired brat appear.


    However just as she was about to sip her tea, the hum of lightning appeared from outside and Zhao Feng walked in casually, sitting in a seat opposite Liu Qinxin.


    ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s extremely familiar with the City Lord Palace? Does this guy have any intentions towards me or the Liu family?¡±


    Liu Qinxin was slightly surprised and became somewhat suspicious.


    RIght at this point in time, Zhao Feng was inspecting his first ¡®future wife¡¯. She had an enticing figure and her eyebrows were so beautiful, it seemed that they had been drawn on. Sitting in the lounge, she had a quiet charm.


    From a certain perspective, Zhao Feng realised that he had no reason to reject her but the number of beauties that he had seen wasn¡¯t low, so most of the time, his heart was as calm as water. It would only occasionally twitch.


    Seeing Zhao Feng stare at herself, Liu Qinxin at the beginning felt disgusted. However, she couldn¡¯t see any impurities in his eyes. It was just a form of admiration.


    This made Liu Qinxin slightly surprised. Although she wore a veil, most males still looked at her with lust. The youth in front of her seemed to be enclosed in mist. His eyes were sharp and didn¡¯t hide.


    The two just sat looking at each other silently until the Flooding Lake City Lord arrived.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, from today onwards, you¡¯ll stay in the City Lord Palace. It¡¯s best for you not to leave the Flooding Lake City. I¡¯ll have people serve your every need.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord said as he sat down.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t retort and instead suggested: ¡°This junior isn¡¯t ready for marriage yet. It¡¯s the most important thing in a lifetime and for Lady Qinxin¡¯s happiness, I hope it¡¯s not rushed¡­ ¡±


    He was scared of the City Lord forcing him to marry Liu Qinxin instantly.


    If that was the case, then all his plans will have gone to nothing.


    Hearing this, the City Lord laughed: ¡°Relax, it won¡¯t be that fast.¡±


    And in reality, the City Lord didn¡¯t want Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin to marry so quickly. He still needed to scout out Zhao Feng¡¯s background.


    It could be said that both the City Lord and Zhao Feng had their plans.


    On the same night, Zhao Feng¡¯s place was arranged in the City Lord Palace and his treatment was considerably good. He had his own house and it was next to a stream.


    The servants of the City Lord Palace were all respectful towards him. They all knew that Zhao Feng was the future young master.


    Zhao Feng sat on the ground cross legged, while his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned his surroundings.


    To prevent Zhao Feng from escaping, the City Lord had sent a total of four experts at the half step True Spirit Realm and one at the True Human Rank to survey him.


    ¡°The Flooding Lake City Lord looks at me way too highly.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart dropped - the situation was worse than he imagined.


    Luckily, his plan had also started and as long as the City Lord didn¡¯t force him to marry straight away, there was hope.


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng only did two things. Cultivating or going to the City Lord Palace¡¯s library to replenish his knowledge.


    Being the future son-in-law of the City Lord, apart from a few restricted areas, he was to go wherever he pleased.


    Of course, the four experts at the half step True Spirit Realm and the one at the True Spirit Realm always followed Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng gained more knowledge in the library and was able to occasionally come in touch with some advanced skills.


    Through these books, Zhao Feng had a further comprehension of the Canopy Great Country and the Northern Continent.


    It was another few days until Zhao Feng slowly walked out of the City Lord palace.


    According to the City Lord, as long as Zhao Feng didn¡¯t leave the Flooding Lake City, no one would stop him.


    If Zhao Feng was willing, he could even bring a large amount of guards and servant with him.


    Over the past few days, the Flooding Lake City Lord had found out Zhao Feng¡¯s background. He wasn¡¯t a native from the Canopy Great Country and came from the countryside.


    Knowing this, the City Lord relaxed - he was just worried that Zhao Feng came from some enemy faction and had bad intentions towards the Liu family.


    And Zhao Feng¡¯s background was extremely clean. He wasn¡¯t someone from the country but was a person who came from poor faraway lands. There was obviously no enmity between him and the Liu family.


    On this day, Zhao Feng was cultivating quietly on the ground.


    In his mind, the three leveled Lightning Inheritance appeared.


    Of the three levels, the first level was extremely bright.


    ¡°The first level of the Lightning Inheritance is almost complete.¡±


    Zhao Feng was full of expectations.


    The Lightning Inheritance had a total of three levels and if one was to cultivate up to the end of the third level, there was a certain chance of reaching the Origin Core Realm. From this, one could see why this was ranked as the strongest inheritance of the Floating Crest Palace.


    After all, at this moment, the True Lord Rank was the king of a side and experts at Origin Core Realm were only limited to legends.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng slowly let out a breath. He had at least an 80% chance of success in escape and it was at this time that the City Lord asked for Zhao Feng.


    In the great hall, apart from the City Lord and Liu Qinxin, there were a few other important figures. Even the Liu family Head was here.


    The reason why the City Lord had asked for Zhao Feng today was because of the marriage.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the marriage is set in 6 months, do you have any problems?¡± The Flooding Lake City Lord asked.


    ¡°None, this one will listen to the City Lord.¡±


    Zhao Feng seemed to have accepted reality and the City Lord nodded his head in satisfaction.


    On the other hand, Liu Qinxin was slightly disappointed. How she hoped that Zhao Feng would stand up courageously and reject this proposal and the City Lord - although it would lead to a gruesome death.


    ¡°It looks like he¡¯s the same as other men, can¡¯t resist the idea of glory, power, women¡­ ¡± Liu Qinxin sighed in her heart.


    Since Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any objections, the marriage was successfully set in half a year''s time.


    Liu Qinxin helplessly became Zhao Feng official future wife and Zhao Feng¡¯s escape plan had finally started.

 262 Legend of the Eye

    After the date of the marriage was settled, Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin walked out of the hall together.


    On the way, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t speak and followed behind Liu Qinxin as though they were a couple.


    Just as they were about to enter the daughter of the City Lord¡¯s place.


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s figure stopped and her eyebrows rose, ¡°What are you following me for?¡±


    Her expression was cold and her impression of Zhao Feng had dropped even more.


    They had just settled the marriage date but Zhao Feng was already so ¡®impatient¡¯. From the fact that he followed her, it seemed as though he had bad intentions.


    ¡°Let¡¯s chat.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was calm. He realised that after entering the City Lord¡¯s Palace, he hadn¡¯t even properly talked to her before.


    Chat?


    Liu Qinxin had misunderstood Zhao Feng¡¯s intentions: Don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you please just because we have a marriage between us.


    ¡°You¡¯re just my fiance. Please take care of yourself.¡±


    Liu Qinxin coldly hid her face behind her veil.


    Zhao Feng was somewhat baffled and added, ¡°We¡¯re only going to talk.¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s face behind the veil reddened.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was expression and had no impurities in his eyes.


    It really seemed like that the opposing party only wanted to talk.


    ¡°Please.¡±


    Liu Qinxin emotionlessly led Zhao Feng into the pavilion but had no intentions of inviting her future husband into the bedroom.


    In Canopy Great Country, it wasn¡¯t uncommon for couples to enter the houses of their partners.


    ZHao Feng didn¡¯t mind and sat directly opposite Liu Qinxin while servants brought food and tea.


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes were clear and held a high stance, waiting for ZHao Feng to speak.


    ¡°You go to the side.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and signalled for the two servants to leave with the stance of a son-in-law of the City Lord.


    Instead of getting angry, Liu Qinxin laughed. She wanted to see what Zhao Feng was going to talk to her about?


    She thought of Zhao Feng as a brat who wanted to climb onto a high tree. At this moment, he was definitely thinking of how to impress her.


    The sad thing was that was she going to marry this person?


    However Zhao Feng¡¯s actions caused her thoughts to all go empty.


    ¡°Last time when I saw you on stage, you used a jade hairbrush. I also have one that¡¯s similar.¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke and took out half of a jade hairbrush which he placed on the table.


    Liu Qinxin was slightly intrigued and took over the jade hairbrush and inspected it closely. She then put a sizzle of her True Force in and the word ¡°Liu¡± lit up suddenly.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, this is an inheritance item of the Liu family. How could you have such a thing?¡±


    Liu Qinxin put down the half of a hairbrush.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng revealed an expression of joy, ¡°This is an item that my Master gave me. Can you tell me who this hairbrush belongs to?¡±


    Liu Qinxin paused slightly. This was the first time she had seen joy and expectation of Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Compared to when they were arranging the marriage, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any emotional changes.


    Liu Qinxin began to realise that she couldn¡¯t see through this youth. It was as if her fiance didn¡¯t even care about his future wife.


    ¡°This type of item only belongs to Main and the seven Branches of the Liu family. As for who, this would be a secret of the Liu family and would need to be confirmed in the records.¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes spun as she gave an answer.


    ¡°This means that this jade hairbrush doesn¡¯t come from your Flooding Lake Liu family?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Liu Qinxin sipped her tea.


    _Sigh_


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be slightly disappointed. It looks like the Liu Qinxin in front of her wasn¡¯t part of the same branch as the one he was seeking, but he could eliminate more people with this information.


    The owner would be from the main family or the seven branch families and the Flooding Lake Liu family was the first to be eliminated.


    Knowing this, the list in Zhao Feng¡¯s head surfaced, and only two people were left: Empress Qinxin and Goddess Qinxin.


    Empress QInxin was one of the wives of the current Emperor and Goddess Qinxin was one of the Elders of the Sect Qin Sword Palace.


    Both Empress Qinxin and Goddess Qinxin were major figures who aren''t usually seen.


    ¡°Thank you. If you can confirm which branch this hairbrush came from, I¡¯ll be extremely grateful.¡±


    Zhao Feng got up and left.


    Liu Qinxin sat on the chair with a slightly stiff figure.


    She could feel Zhao Feng¡¯s disappointment and how he had no interest in her.


    ¡°Could it be¡­ he came to me just for this?¡±


    Liu Qinxin was extremely shocked and disappointed.


    At the beginning, she had thought that Zhao Feng was playing mysterious, but after a while Zhao Feng still didn¡¯t get in contact with her.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have the time to play games because he still needed to make careful preparations of escaping.


    The first step was to fix the ¡°Yin Shadow Cloak¡± and the second was to improve his cultivation as well as his strength.


    Zhao Feng had almost fully gathered the resources needed to fix the cloak and was just short of a few items.


    ¡°If I can fix the Yin Shadow Cloak, it would greatly increase my chances of escaping.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    It was best for the City Lord to not know about this but the Yin Shadow Cloak needed a Blacksmith Master.


    Zhao Feng scouted around and found two Blacksmith Masters who had high statuses.


    One of them had a good relationship with the Liu family while the other was said to have a bad attitude and was on average terms with the Liu family. Apparently there was a rivalry between them.


    ¡°En, I¡¯ll go find the blacksmith with the bad attitude. His skills are better and most importantly, his relationship with the Liu family isn¡¯t so good.¡±


    Zhao Feng confirmed his target.


    This blacksmith master was called ¡°Tiegan Master¡± and his skills were ranked top ten within the Canopy Great Country. Even the Flooding Lake Liu family wouldn¡¯t easily offend him.


    However, the difficulty of getting Tiegan Master to help him was several times harder and Zhao Feng needed to make some preparations.


    He first needed to find Tiegan Master¡¯s hobbies and without some confidence, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t act rashly.


    Two months after arranging the marriage, Zhao Feng cultivated quietly and comprehended his Lightning Inheritance as well as his mental energy techniques which included a bit of beast taming.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord placed great importance of him and seeing that Zhao Feng was cultivating so hard, he gave him large quantities of Spiritual Pills and resources.


    The Canopy Great Country was extremely rich and the resources the City Lord gave Zhao Feng helped him immensely.


    Three months after arranging the marriage, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak 6th Sky.


    The reason it rose so quickly was because of the help the City Lord gave as well as the fact Zhao Feng had once fallen from the 7th to 6th Sky.


    ¡°There¡¯s still three months left. There¡¯s still a large chance of returning to the 7th Sky and the first floor of the Lightning Inheritance has mostly been completed.¡±


    Zhao Feng was happy.


    When the City Lord had spare time, he would occasionally give Zhao Feng pointers.


    Of course.


    Being a beast tamer Zhao Feng would occasionally go train the group of mounts.


    For this, Zhao Feng specifically comprehended a ¡°Language Technique¡± that could allow him to interact with the beasts and understand their ¡®language¡¯.


    In reality, the Language Technique was also a use of mental energy.


    As long as one learnt this skill, they could talk with most beasts.


    In the City Lord Palace, there were a few flying mounts that had reached the True Spirit Realm which normal beast tamers couldn¡¯t help.


    However.


    When Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat went up together, they could successfully dissolve the matter and help them.


    The little thieving cat didn¡¯t need to learn the Language Technique. It could interact with any beast it pleased.


    Using trickery, lying and all sorts of methods, the little thieving cat and Zhao Feng soon helped these frustrated beasts at the True Spirit Realm and the latter¡¯s actions pleased the City Lord.


    The most important thing was that Zhao Feng was extremely abiding and didn¡¯t even touch his future wife¡¯s hand once.


    ¡°Qinxin, don¡¯t be too cold to him.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord told his daughter several times.


    Liu Qinxin was speechless. She was cold to Zhao Feng but the latter had ignored her existence.


    ¡°Father, are you really going to marry me to this one-eyed brat?¡±


    Liu QInxin wasn¡¯t happy.


    A light flashed in the City Lord¡¯s eyes: ¡°Do you really think he¡¯s one-eyed? Do you think my eyes are so bad?¡±


    ¡°Could it be¡­¡±


    Liu Qinxin felt that Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye contained some secret because Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem like normal one-eyed people who had chaotic tempers. On the contrary, he was calm and cool.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s bloodline isn¡¯t simple. If I¡¯m not wrong, it should be a rare Eye Bloodline. There¡¯s ancient records that had stated that after the Great Ancient Era had ended, the eight God Eyes ruled supreme over the eight sides of the world.¡±


    Longing appeared in the City Lord¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Eight great God Eyes. Do you think he had one of them?¡±


    Liu Qinxin asked.


    ¡°Impossible.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord shook his head and smiled, ¡°This is just a legend. The Eight great God Eyes are the ancestors of all Eye Bloodlines. All the Eye Bloodlines are somewhat related to these Eight God Eyes. Even if someone has only a tiny bit of their bloodline, it isn¡¯t something normal bloodlines can be compared to.¡±


    ¡°Has the Eight great God Eyes ever appeared in history?¡±


    ¡°No but several tens of thousands of years ago a legend with an Eye Bloodline opened the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance. His was the renowned ¡°Three-Eyed Heavenly Lord¡±. In the legends, he had reached the Void God Realm.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord smiled.


    Just as the City Lord and Liu Qinxin were chatting.


    ¡°City Lord, Zhao Feng has reached the boundaries of the Flooding Lake City. Do we need to stop him?¡±


    A shadow suddenly appeared in midair.


    ¡°Boundaries? Is he trying to leave the Flooding Lake City?¡±


    The City Lord spoke.


    ¡°His target seems to be Tiegan Mountain.¡±


    ¡°Tiegan Mountain? Hehe, is he trying to find Tiegan Master?¡±


    The City Lord revealed a playful smile.


    ¡°Tiegan Master? The horrible old man? He didn¡¯t even give father any face before. Wouldn¡¯t Zhao Feng be blown into dust if he goes?¡±


    Liu Qinxin laughed.

 263 Causing a Ruckus

    At the border of Flooding Lake City.


    There was a black mountain with barely anything nearby; there was no trees or was there grass.


    This mountain was called the Tiegan Mountain and although it didn¡¯t look very good, one would be wrong if they looked down on it.


    Mountains weren¡¯t all about high, water wasn¡¯t all about depth.


    In the Flooding Lake area, the Tiegan mountain was pretty famous and this all came from its ruler ¡°Tiegan Master.¡±


    Miao miao!


    The cat and human walked onto the Tiegan Mountain and the little thieving cat seemed to be extremely playful.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned over the Tiegan mountain and found that it was full of rich Fire Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Ever since they had stepped onto the mountain, the temperature had risen.


    ¡°This Tiegan mountain definitely has lava within. It might even have Earthen Flames.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed


    .


    He had been a blacksmith once and knew the gap between normal blacksmiths and masters.


    The little thieving cat and Zhao Feng walked step by step onto the mountain and didn¡¯t ride on his Azure Sharp Swallow.


    This was because Zhao Feng had found out that Tiegan didn¡¯t like to be disturbed and even set restrictions on mounts that landed on the mountain.


    A silver metal palace soon came into sight.


    This was named Tiegan Palace, the place where the blacksmith master lived.


    At this moment there were people entering and exiting with most of them disappointed.


    ¡°Aye, Tiegan master doesn¡¯t want to see anyone. Even his three disciples recommendation spots are pushed back half a year.¡±


    Most of these people were at the Ascended Realm.


    In the Canopy Great Country strength decided everything.


    If someone at the True Spirit Realm or someone with a special identity came the Tiegan Palace would send someone to greet them.


    When Zhao Feng took out his ¡°Liu family token¡± the people of the Tiegan Palace only looked at him before letting him in without saying anything.


    Although the relationship between Tiegan Master and the City Lord wasn¡¯t on good terms, the Liu family was still the most dominant force here and the Tiegan Palace wouldn¡¯t offend them on purpose.


    As the cat and human were entering the palace.


    A hidden place near the Tiegan Palace.


    ¡°He entered the Tiegan Mountain. Go back and report this to the City Lord.¡±


    Three men in dark clothes stood behind a pile of shattered stone and one of the figures immediately flew off.


    Shua!


    Another dark robed man also walked over after Zhao Feng had entered a while.


    The token in his hand caused the Tiegan Palace''s¡¯ guards expression to slightly change.


    Ever since the fight for the fianc¨¦e, a total of four experts at the True Spirit Realm had surveyed Zhao Feng¡¯s every action.


    At the beginning, there was even an expert at the True Spirit Ream present.


    On one side, the City Lord wanted to know Zhao Feng¡¯s background and on the other, he was scared of Zhao Feng escaping.


    However, Zhao Feng appeared quiet after entering the City Lord Palace and sometimes helped tame the pets there.


    The City Lord gradually began to trust Zhao Feng and most of his wariness faded.


    Only till half a month ago the True Spirit Realm expert was withdrawn.


    After entering the Tiegan Palace Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t noticed immediately.


    Even if he told them he was the son-in-law of the City Lord, he wouldn¡¯t be placed in a position of great importance since the relationship between the City Lord and Tiegan Master wasn¡¯t so great.


    Zhao Feng then walked into a hall within the Tiegan Palace.


    The hall was full of weapons, armor, and jewelry. Some of these were made by Tiegan Master himself, while others were made by some disciples. All of these were top tier products that made others sigh.


    Zhao Feng flipped over a few items and found that any single one of Tiegan Master¡¯s disciples were even better than the ones in the Broken Moon Clan.


    As for Tiegan Master¡¯s products, they were perfection.


    The spectators all sighed and exclaimed, this included blacksmiths who had come here from afar.


    Many experts or blacksmiths wanted to buy a few items but the products here were either not for sale, needed the agreement of the owner, or had extremely high prices - over ten times its worth.


    All in all.


    It was hard to buy an item here unless your cultivation was high and had the status to talk straight to the Tiegan Palace.


    These items were more for show and to display the Tiegan Palaces¡¯ strength.


    Zhao Feng picked up a scarlet gold long sword and gently touched it. The components of the sword itself had been merged to the max and the sword itself looked like a mirror.


    ¡°What kind of shitty blacksmith technique was used to create this crap sword? It¡¯s rough and useless.¡±


    A disdainful voice sounded.


    Instantly.


    The hall became dead silent and everyone¡¯s eyes landed on an azure haired youth.


    ¡°Who is this brat? How dare he look down on the works of the Tiegan Palace?¡±


    ¡°Ehh? Isn¡¯t he the son-in-law of the City Lord?¡±


    The people in the hall discussed.


    A small number of people recognised Zhao Feng.


    Ding!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s finger tapped the sword, ¡°The material is pretty good but the forging technique is nowhere near good enough for the value of the technique. Only the surface is good¡­.¡±


    He shook his head as he spoke causing people to look over.


    ¡°Little brother, what do you mean?¡±


    A blacksmith nearby said unwillingly.


    ¡°The main material used here is ¡®Purple Metal Gold¡¯. The conduction of true force from Purple Metal Gold is pretty good and is extremely good looking but its weakness is that its weight and sharpness is not good enough. The Purple Metal Gold takes up more than a third of the total weight and although a bit of Mystic Ice Metal and Training Mystic Iron was added to increase its hardness and sharpness, the weight is still too low and can¡¯t cause damage. It¡¯s hardness also hasn¡¯t reached the highest level. Against a pure made weapon, this sword will be broken very easily.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head.


    In reality, the weakness of the sword wasn¡¯t obvious. It was just slightly light and not as hard; but not to this level.


    The reason why a lot of Purple Metal Gold was used was so this sword would be able to conduct True Force to a high extent as well as increase damage. The lightness in weight was because this word was focused more on speed. Moreover, this sword was for display, hence the use of more Purple Metal Gold.


    However, normal people couldn¡¯t see this. After all, the conduction rate of the Sword was high and had an increase in speed. Its sharpness was considerably good and was a great weapon overall.


    As for its hardness, it wasn¡¯t the best but it wasn¡¯t bad.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were piercing sharp and could even pick out bones from an egg.


    Hearing his explanation, the blacksmith nearby couldn¡¯t help but nod his head, ¡°Indeed, it isn¡¯t that great.¡±


    ¡°Who dares look down on the products of the Tiegan Palace?¡±


    The disciples and blacksmiths of the Tiegan Palace stormed in angrily.


    ¡°Hehe, so the great Tiegan Palace is this forceful? We¡¯re only allowed to praise the items and not talk about its disadvantages?¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly and continued,


    ¡°This is only the first one. The hardness is average and is made from Mystic Ice Metal. Once it meets a fire elemental weapon, the contrast in temperature will cause its shape to change and even crack during a fight.¡±


    ¡°Mystic Ice Metal can increase damage, and after forging, it can make the sword as smooth as a mirror. Even blood won¡¯t be left on it. However, this is only for looks but as for actual combat¡­. horrible.¡±


    The nearby blacksmiths were dazed.


    If Zhao Feng had just been making this up, they would laugh. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s words were true and contained knowledge about forging in his explanation.


    After talking about the Purple Metal sword¡¯s disadvantage, Zhao Feng walked over to a nearby black whip.


    ¡°Look, this whip was made from black forging soft iron¡­.¡±


    At this point in time, the crowd¡¯s attention was focused on Zhao Feng.


    The latter kept on speaking and analysing the materials of every weapon as he exaggerated their weaknesses.


    The blacksmiths of the Tiegan Palace had dead eyes.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions were picking bones from an egg but all of the problems he found were exaggerated greatly.


    ¡°How can he know clearly every material? Usually only Master-level people or experienced old blacksmiths would be able to see this much with only one glance¡­.¡±


    One of the blacksmiths couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.


    ¡°Quick! Quick! Go call the Three Core disciples!¡±


    ¡°First senior brother is in seclusion, forging an item. Second senior brother isn¡¯t here and third senior brother is currently seeing someone at True Spirit Realm.¡±


    The blacksmiths of the Tiegan Palace panicked.


    They were all scared by Zhao Feng and couldn¡¯t take out anyone to retort.


    What was more terrifying was that the objects in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand were all randomly chosen.


    If this continued, the Tiegan Palace¡¯s name would be tarnished.


    ¡°This guy¡¯s here to cause a ruckus!¡±


    The blacksmiths took a deep breath and finally realised something.


    ¡°Should we kick him out?¡±


    ¡°No, he possesses the Liu family token and is also the son-in-law of the City Lord.¡±


    ¡°The relationship between the City Lord and Master isn¡¯t good. Is he here by the City Lord¡¯s wishes?¡±


    Although the Tiegan Palace had experts at the True Spirit Realm, they didn¡¯t know what to do.


    This was the territory of Flooding Lake City and Zhao Feng¡¯s identity was unique. Behind his back was the Flooding Lake City Lord. They didn¡¯t dare act rashly.


    What was more important was that the points Zhao Feng made were all correct and were agreed by a few blacksmiths nearby.


    If the Tiegan Palace forcefully kicked Zhao Feng out, wouldn¡¯t that mean they were scared?


    ¡°Who dares cause trouble in my Tiegan Palace!?¡±


    A roar echoed and from the sky, descended an aura of the True Spirit Realm.


    This aura was even stronger than First Elder¡¯s and was immensely close to True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°Master!¡±


    ¡°Tiegan Master!¡±


    The hearts of the people within the hall jumped.


    As soon as his sentence finished, a tall figure in red appeared in the hall with a hammer in his hands. A surge of flames a yard high appeared around him, making him seem terrifying.


    The Flooding Lake people all knew that Tiegan Master was famous for having a chaotic temper and no one dared to make a sound.


    ¡°Haha, Tiegan Master, you¡¯re finally here.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed in his heart and put down the object in his hand before speaking slowly:


    ¡°Tiegan Master, I came this time to represent my teacher ¡®Thousand Hand Grandmaster¡¯.... To challenge you.¡±

 264 Success

    Flooding Lake City.


    ¡°Reporting to City Lord, we have confirmed that Zhao Feng has entered Tiegan Mountain.¡±


    A figure shrouded in darkness said.


    The City Lord nodded his head. It wasn¡¯t out of his expectations. Zhao Feng probably went to the Tiegan Mountain to see the blacksmith mountain.


    ¡°What else is there?¡±


    The figure didn¡¯t seem to have any intentions of leaving.


    ¡°The reason why Zhao Feng went to the Tiegan Mountain seems to be because he wants to cause trouble.¡±


    The figure said slightly hesitantly.


    Cause trouble?


    The Flooding Lake City and Liu Qinxin exchanged glances.


    Their first reactions were: Zhao Feng has courage.


    What kind of person was Tiegan Master? Apart from the fact that he was at True Spirit Realm, he was also ranked first in the Flooding Lake area in terms of forging.


    Across the entire Canopy Great Country, he could be ranked in the top ten.


    Even though the relationship between the City Lord and Tiegan Master was bad, the former wasn¡¯t able to do anything to the latter.


    ¡°If Zhao Feng really is going there to cause trouble, then it¡¯d be troublesome¡­¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord had a solemn expression.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s identity was extremely unique. Not only did he represent himself, he also represented the City Lord as he was the latter¡¯s son-in-law.


    The relationship between the City Lord and Tiegan Master was originally bad and if Zhao Feng continued, everyone would think this was because of the City Lord.


    ¡°Father, Tiegan Master¡¯s cultivation hasn¡¯t even reached the True Mystic Rank and isn¡¯t even a Grandmaster Blacksmith, why are we wary of him?¡±


    Liu Qinxin asked, somewhat baffled.


    She knew her father¡¯s strength and normal experts at True Mystic Rank couldn¡¯t even be placed in his eyes. In the past, he had even sent challenges to the True Lord Rank.


    It could be said that as long as True Lord Rank experts didn¡¯t appear, the City Lord would reign.


    Such a figure shouldn¡¯t be so wary of a blacksmith master.


    ¡°Tiegan Master isn¡¯t very simple. He has a close relationship to the Iron Blood Religion. Apparently he¡¯s the blacksmith of the Iron Blood Religion.¡±


    As the City Lord spoke, his eyebrows furrowed even more.


    Iron Blood Religion.


    Hearing this Liu Qinxin¡¯s expression changed: Zhao Feng was doomed.


    In Canopy Great Country, the Imperial, the Three Sects, and the Four Families had absolute control.


    Amongst the Three Sects was the Iron Blood Religion whose power was even greater than the main Liu family and Qin Sword Palace.


    Even the main Liu family was wary of the Iron Blood Religion and didn¡¯t dare offend them.


    The current situation between the Imperials and Iron Blood Religion was like fire and water.


    Although the Imperials were the rulers in name, the Iron Blood Religion was the greatest religion in the country and had immense power.


    ¡°No, I need to go to the Tiegan Mountain myself.¡±


    As he spoke, the Flooding Lake City Lord disappeared and the sound of whistling air could be heard.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go as well.¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness and a bit of schadenfreude, ¡°Hmph! This will teach him a lesson for using his identity as the City Lord¡¯s son-in-law. Now he has hit a nail.¡±


    Tiegan Palace.


    The hall was silent as Tiegan Master descended.


    ¡°....I came this time to represent my teacher ¡®Thousand Hand Grandmaster¡¯.... To challenge you.¡±


    Only Zhao Feng had a smile.


    The flames on Tiegan Master¡¯s body surged. It was obvious he was on the verge of explosion.


    However, as Zhao Feng spoke, Tiegan Master¡¯s flames died off.


    Thousand Hand Grandmaster?


    Tiegan Master¡¯s body froze with a baffled expression.


    A Grandmaster was obviously higher than a Master.


    The ¡®Thousand Hand Grandmaster¡¯ had stunned Tiegan Master.


    Was a Master good? Was it better than a Grandmaster?


    Of course, the ¡®Thousand Hand Grandmaster¡¯ was a name Zhao Feng had randomly used to scare people.


    ¡°Thousand Hand Grandmaster? The continent didn¡¯t have any new blacksmith grandmasters.¡±


    ¡°The closest blacksmith master in the Northern Continent died a hundred years ago.¡±


    Discussion rose upon the hall.


    They hadn¡¯t heard of anyone called the Thousand Hand Grandmaster. At least, not in the Northern Continent.


    ¡°Brat, if you¡¯re really here to cause trouble in the Tiegan Palace, this old one won¡¯t go easy on you even if you¡¯re the son-in-law of the City Lord.¡±


    Tiegan Master¡¯s face still had remnants of anger and had a hint of coldness in his voice.


    However, he made no sudden moves.


    The azure haired youth before him was weird and Tiegan Master had seen Zhao Feng¡¯s actions in the hall before with his Spiritual Sense.


    According to Tiegan Master¡¯s analysis, Zhao Feng¡¯s level in forging was almost comparable to a Master¡¯s.


    ¡°Hehe, my Master is a new blacksmith Grandmaster from the Middle Continent. I came over this time to take my Master¡¯s work to challenge the Masters of the Northern Continent.¡±


    Zhao Feng began to lie.


    The distance between the Middle Continent and Northern Continent was insanely far and according to Zhao Feng¡¯s knowledge, the Middle Continent was more advanced.


    Of the present crowd here, almost none of them had been to the Middle Continent and Zhao Feng¡¯s Master was a new Grandmaster, hence there was no flaws in his words.


    ¡°Work of a Grandmaster?¡±


    Tiegan Master¡¯s eyes glimmered.


    Pa!


    Zhao Feng snapped his fingers.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat brought out a flask that was larger than itself and greedily drank the alcohol at the same time.


    ¡°This is a work of my Master from long ago.¡±


    Zhao Feng lifted his head.


    Everyone within the hall was staring at the flask in front of the little thieving cat.


    The flask was made of a unique material and when Tiegan Master¡¯s Spiritual Sense swept over it, his expression instantly changed and asked, ¡°What is the use of this flask?¡±


    As soon as he said this.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat drank the rest of the alcohol and then put some water inside.


    The water inside the flask slowly began to change.


    Tiegan Master¡¯s Spiritual Sense swept over and instantly realised this as he flew over and gazed at the flask with insanity.


    Zhao Feng smiled but didn¡¯t speak.


    He had scouted about first and knew that apart from Tiegan Master¡¯s bad attitude, he loved wine, and the flask in front of their eyes right now could turn normal water into wine. It was extremely mysterious.


    Zhao Feng had checked the ancient records and there didn¡¯t seem to be such an item.


    This flask from the mysterious Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground which made it hard to survive even for those at the True SPirit Realm.


    Zhao Feng lightly coughed and stopped Tiegan Master¡¯s insane state.


    It was obvious that the power of the flask had caused Tiegan Master to be shocked.


    ¡°LIttle friend, let¡¯s go somewhere else and discuss in private.¡±


    Tiegan Master squeezed out a smile and invited Zhao Feng inside the inner halls.


    The present crowd was dazed.


    Tiegan Master was known for his bad temper and was on the verge of explosion just before.


    However, the person causing trouble was now treated as a guest by Tiegan Master in just a few words.


    ¡°Apart from the True Lord Rank expert from a couple months ago, it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen Tiegan Master greet someone like this.¡±


    The blacksmiths and disciples all looked at each other and many even guessed: Was this azure haired youth a disciple of a blacksmith clan?


    Inside a quiet lounge in the Tiegan Palace.


    Zhao Feng sat with a smile as Tiegan Master inspected the flask. His face would change every second, from shock to amazement before beginning to sigh incessantly.


    After a period of time.


    Tiegan Master spoke, ¡°What do you want? The closest grandmaster in the Northern Continent is my Master and I also know some of the Grandmasters in the Middle COntinent.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed - it looked like the ¡°Thousand Hand Grandmaster¡± pseudonym had been seen through but his aim had been reached since he could talk to Tiegan Master.


    ¡°I came this time to ask Master to help fix two items.¡±


    Zhao Feng first took out the Luohou Bow.


    The instant Tiegan Master took the Luohou Bow, his eyes lit up and said softly, ¡°Precise.¡±


    His hand suddenly touched the Ice Lotus symbol and his couldn¡¯t help but draw a breath.


    ¡°Incredible, this is made by nature. The aura on here can be compared to ancient dragon lizards or descendents of the ice dragon.¡±


    Tiegan Master sighed towards this Ice Lotus symbol.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but remember the Dragon Snake Ice River in Sky Boundary Island. The entire river was freezing and the mysterious substance at the source was a forbidden existence that could freeze even experts at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°If the power was even stronger it might¡¯ve even created a world-stunning Spiritual grade Weapon¡­. But unfortunately¡­.¡±


    Tiegan Master shook his head at the end.


    Hearing this Zhao Feng was surprised. He didn¡¯t think the potential of the Luohou Bow was so large.


    The main item he wanted to fix was not the Luohou Bow. The Luohou Bow was just passed on nonchalantly. He didn¡¯t expect this answer.


    After a discussion of pricing, Zhao Feng and Tiegan Master reached an agreement.


    Tiegan Master was to help Zhao Feng increase the potential and power of the Luohou Bow as well as fix another Spiritual grade item which did not exceed a High tier Spiritual item but the resources needed to be provided by Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had let Tiegan Master inspect the flask for a while and in reality, Tiegan Master was the one who came up with the suggestion of providing the materials and repairing in exchange for the Luohou Bow.


    However, due to the little thieving cat¡¯s disagreement, it ended in failure.


    After the deal was made, Tiegan Master purposely tried to see Zhao Feng¡¯s level in forging but realised that Zhao Feng was only limited to theory.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s learning ability allowed him to understand medicine, arrays, and forging since all the knowledge was copied into his mind by the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. Therefore, Zhao Feng knew all the resources as well as their uses.


    ¡°Little friend¡¯s eyes are great and has incredible talent - truly a talented genius of forging. Are you willing to enter the world of blacksmiths with me?¡±


    Tiegan Master¡¯s eyes became bloodshot.


    Right at this moment.


    A powerful aura swept through the air causing the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to tremble.


    ¡°May I ask why is the City Lord has come personally?¡±


    The expression of the True Spirit Realm expert guarding the Tiegan Mountain changed.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord asked, ¡°Is my unruly son-in-law here? If he has caused any trouble, I hope that fellow Tiegan Mountain Daoists can forgive him.¡±

 265 Yun Haiyang

    The descent of the City Lord caused the entire Tiegan Palace to feel pressured. Even those at the True Spirit Realm felt uneasy.


    After all, the Flooding Lake City Lord could be said to be the lord in this area. His strength and fame ruled this area.


    Apparently, when the Flooding Lake City Lord was young, he was a prodigy in the Flooding Lake Liu family and had the most hope to reach the True Lord Rank.


    Luckily, it seemed that the City Lord didn¡¯t seem to have any enmities and was only here to find his son-in-law.


    ¡°City Lord, your son-in-law is in the palace safely talking to Master.¡±


    The True Spirit Realm expert guarding the Tiegan Palace said respectfully.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord paused slightly and retracted his aura.


    ¡°Are you sure he didn¡¯t cause any trouble?¡±


    The City Lord confirmed.


    One of the blacksmiths smiled bitterly, ¡°He was causing trouble but when he met Master, he was invited to the inner halls.¡±


    ¡°Yea, I¡¯ve never seen anyone causing trouble become guests.¡±


    The blacksmith disciples felt incredible and the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s expression was extremely colorful as his eyes twinkled.


    Soon.


    Liu Qinxin entered the Tiegan Palace.


    ¡°The daughter of the City Lord is here.¡±


    ¡°It looks like the son-in-law of the City Lord is placed of great importance by the Liu family.¡±


    The people within the hall started to chat and Liu Qinxin¡¯s found that her father¡¯s expression was slightly unusual.


    ¡°Did Zhao Feng cause massive trouble?¡±


    Liu Qinxin asked cautiously.


    Her emotions right now was extremely complex. On one hand she was sympathetic while on the other, she was expectant.


    If Zhao Feng caused massive trouble and disappointed her father, the latter might punish him.


    However, the City Lord didn¡¯t immediately respond. At this moment, Zhao Feng and Tiegan Master walked out from the inner hall together.


    Tiegan Master was slightly regretful about Zhao Feng¡¯s talent towards forging.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, if you have time, come over to the Tiegan mountain. If you¡¯re willing to become a blacksmith, my door will always be open.¡±


    Tiegan Master smiled and sent Zhao Feng away.


    This scene caused Liu Qinxin to be dazed.


    Wasn¡¯t Zhao Feng causing a ruckus? Why was he treated with such respect?


    Anyone could see that Tiegan Master was extremely admirable towards Zhao Feng which was a dramatic contrast towards the City Lord, whom he gave an indifferent attitude. It was as if he was treating a stranger.


    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll come over when I¡¯ve collected all the materials.¡±


    Under the baffled expression of others, Zhao Feng said farewell to Tiegan Master.


    After walking out of the Tiegan Palace, the City Lord and Liu Qinxin looked weirdly at Zhao Feng; the youth was covered in another layer of mist that was hard to see through.


    Under the City Lord¡¯s questioning, Zhao Feng humbly told what had happened.


    The reason why Tiegan Master placed great importance on Zhao Feng was because of a mysteriousness as well as his talent for forging.


    Hearing the explanation, the City Lord and Liu Qinxin looked at each other.


    The City Lord looked deeply towards Zhao Feng. He had thought that he had seen through this brat but the latter had brought him even more surprise.


    ¡°How about this? Since you¡¯re already engaged to Qinxin, you¡¯re part of my Liu family. The expenses for fixing the Luohou Bow will be paid by the City Lord Palace. Apart from that, you have to try and create a good relationship with Tiegan Master.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s words and saved Zhao Feng a lot of money.


    ¡°Thanks senior, oh I mean¡­. Father-in-law.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    When he had made the deal with Tiegan Master before, the materials would cost him around a hundred to two hundred thousand primal crystal stones because the little thieving cat didn¡¯t agree to exchanging the mysterious flask. Otherwise, the materials would all be paid by Tiegan Master.


    Zhao Feng was just thinking about this problem and didn¡¯t think a simple sentence from the City Lord had saved him.


    The City Lord nodded his head in satisfaction as his opinion of Zhao Feng became even greater.


    Liu Qinxin didn¡¯t know what she felt. If this continued, Zhao Feng¡¯s position in her father¡¯s heart would only become higher and higher.


    At the same time, her future husband''s mysterious layer of mist became thicker and thicker.


    A young beast tamer with precise archery skills and an Eye Bloodline¡­blacksmith talent that even made Tiegan Master sigh¡­ and that little thieving cat that knew how to turn invisible.


    How many secrets did this youth have?


    Liu Qinxin finally realised that her future husband wasn¡¯t simple, but this person¡¯s interest in her became lower and lower, almost completely ignoring her.


    As Liu Qinxin thought about Zhao Feng, she grinded her teeth and sent him away with her eyes.


    After returning to the City Lord palace, Zhao Feng used the connections of the Liu family to scout for the materials needed to fix the Luohou Bow. These expenses were all paid for by the City Lord.


    Zhao Feng obviously didn¡¯t know the word shameless because he had also listed the resources he was missing to repair the Yin Shadow Cloak.


    As of present, the City Lord placed great importance on him so the overseer of the City Lord Palace was respectful towards him and didn¡¯t question him.


    All the materials needed were gathered within ten days.


    Zhao Feng took the resources and headed towards the Tiegan Mountain.


    Tiegan Palace.


    ¡°I need an assistant to improve the Luohou Bow so you¡¯ll need to help out.¡±


    Tiegan Master requested.


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew a bit about forging and being the assistant of a blacksmith master was the dream of many.


    However, he found it weird that Tiegan Master would specifically ask him.


    Was it because of his talent?


    ¡°This kid¡¯s extremely knowledgeable about resources. I¡¯ll use this to test him.¡±


    Tiegan Master secretly gave Zhao Feng strict requirements.


    The latter¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye inspected the resources so every mistake couldn¡¯t escape his eyes.


    His perceptivity, control, and focus exceeded others by countless times.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could enlarge and magnify things by hundreds of folds.


    It was because of this that he could easily see the disadvantages of any item.


    When Zhao Feng was helping, his actions were crisp and extremely responsible because the next steps regarded the outcome of the Luohou Bow.


    Tiegan Master noted Zhao Feng¡¯s actions and was extremely shocked.


    ¡°Such precision¡­. Even experienced old blacksmiths can¡¯t be so precise.¡±


    Tiegan Master suppressed the shock in his heart.


    At this moment, it was as if he had seen the most gorgeous jade in the world.


    Refining the Luohuo Bow needed roughly four to five days, and in this process, Tiegan Master gave Zhao Feng a large portion of the work while giving him pointers.


    Zhao Feng had previously learnt pill refining as well as setting up arrays. Now that he had a Master level person guiding him, his knowledge had also advanced.


    The key point was ¡®controlling the flame¡¯ which Tiegan Master had even made Zhao Feng do.


    There were different steps in controlling the flame whose difficulty was the same as pill making.


    The results shocked Tiegan Master once again.


    Apart from experience and cultivation restriction, Zhao Feng¡¯s control was perfect.


    ¡°A natural prodigy in forging¡­.¡±


    Tiegan Master suppressed the joy in his heart.


    A few days later.


    The Luohou Bow had succeeded in strengthening.


    The original Luohou Bow had its attributes changed after merging with the mysterious substance, and after this refining, it had merged with a precious Ice Soul Mystic Crystal. Such precious materials wouldn¡¯t be found so quickly if it weren¡¯t for the Liu family¡¯s connections.


    The new Luohou Bow was slightly bigger than the original size there was an azure blue colour on its surface. The ice lotus mark¡¯s size became bigger and had a deeper colour.


    After merging with the new materials, the Luohou Arrows damage increased.


    According to Zhao Feng¡¯s knowledge, the Luohou Arrows contained the elements of wind and lightning. In addition to the terrifying coldness, it was like adding wings on a tiger.


    ¡°The Luohou Bow and Luohou Arrows have reached the peak tier Mortal weapon and High grade Mortal weapon respectively. The combination of the two has become immensely close to Spiritual grade. It can dominate any Mortal tier weapons.¡±


    Tiegan Master was pretty satisfied with this product.


    Zhao Feng liked it even more. Its power and attributes were perfect and its value could be compared with Spiritual grade weapons.


    When the Luohou Bow was completed, Zhao Feng took out his Yin Shadow Cloak.


    In reality, this was Zhao Feng¡¯s true aim and its value was far above the Luohou Bow¡¯s.


    ¡°A damaged Inheritance item¡­¡±


    Tiegan Master had a solemn expression.


    Although all the materials had been gathered, Tiegan Master still needed to find a way on how to fix it.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and left the Yin Shadow Cloak behind as he returned to the City Lord Palace.


    The second he arrived back he was summoned by the City Lord.


    City Lord Palace.


    In a quiet lounge.


    The City Lord and Liu Qinxin were sipping tea while chatting and smiling.


    In the lounge was another youth.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, come over here. This is Qinxin¡¯s cousin, Yun Haiyang...¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s cousin?


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be slightly surprised since this person¡¯s name was almost the same as Yun Hai Master¡¯s.


    Hai Yun Master¡¯s full name was Yun Hai whereas Liu Qinxin¡¯s cousin was called Yun Haiyang.


    When he was being introduced, a cold glint appeared in Yun Haiyang¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Sister Qin, this is your future husband?¡±


    Disdain and disgust appeared on Yun Haiyang¡¯s face, the perfect goddess in his heart would be married off to this queer azure haired one eyed youth?


    As they spoke, Zhao Feng understood that this Yun Haiyang came from one of the four families, the ¡°Yun family¡±, and when they were small, Yun Haiyang and Liu Qinxin had a good relationship.


    Yun Haiyang revealed hints of enmity and disdain while they spoke, angry at the fact that Liu Qinxin was to be married off to Zhao Feng.


    The latter sipped his tea and didn¡¯t care, causing Yun Haiyang to rage in his heart.


    The City Lord saw this in his eyes but didn¡¯t stop it.


    Yun Haiyang suddenly rose and smiled, ¡°I heard that Brother Zhao¡¯s archery skills are top tier. I also happen to know some archery, why not compare our skills?¡±


    Shua!


    Not bothering to care whether Zhao Feng would agree or not, a green scarlet ancient bow appeared in Yun Haiyang¡¯s hand. A mysterious fire mark could be seen on the bow, as if symbolizing its owners anger and battle intent.

 266 Continuation

    The bow in Yun Haiyang¡¯s hand was made of unique materials and its aura surpassed normal peak grade Mortal weapons; its grade was immensely close to Spiritual Tier grade.


    Archery?


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t decline. His Luohou Bow had just been upgraded and had reached a brand new level. He hadn¡¯t had the chance to test it out yet.


    At the same time, Liu Qinxin and the City Lord exchanged glances with smiles, they had no intentions of rejecting this request.


    When the City Lord had called Zhao Feng over, Liu Qinxin had understood her father¡¯s intention.


    Yun Haiyang was unsatisfied with Liu Qinxin¡¯s marriage and now that he had seen Zhao Feng how would he be respectful?


    However, when Yun Haiyang showed disdain and disgust towards Zhao Feng, the City Lord didn¡¯t do anything.


    ¡°Could it be there¡¯s a hidden reason as of why Qinxin is marrying this brat? Looks like I still have a chance.¡±


    Yun Haiyang saw the City Lord¡¯s attitude and was overjoyed as he suppressed the excitement in his heart.


    He didn¡¯t know that the City Lord wasn¡¯t giving him a chance. The City Lord was just testing Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, you¡¯re not against this, are you?¡±


    The City Lord looked expectantly towards Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng suspected that the City Lord was testing him from the start but since he wanted to test out the Luohou Bow¡¯s power, he didn¡¯t decline.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng and Yun Haiyang entered an open archery field.


    There were originally many archers here but they were soon cleared out.


    ¡°What are they doing?¡±


    ¡°The son-in-law of the City Lord is testing archery skills with a relative?¡±


    Around the archery field was a small crowd.


    Zhao Feng and Yun Haiyang stood at the two sides respectively.


    According to the norm archers compared archery skills and precision.


    A few archers even took out some targets.


    ¡°Archery skills are boring. True archers need to experience blood and fire.¡±


    A smile curled on Yun Haiyang¡¯s lips.


    The crowd broke out into discussion. Was Yun Haiyang and Zhao Feng entering a life and death battle?


    As they expected, Yun Haiyang suggested a fight between archers to the City Lord.


    This wasn¡¯t testing archery skills anymore; it was a battle.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, you don¡¯t have any disagreements right?¡±


    The City Lord asked in a consulting tone.


    At this moment, it wasn¡¯t hard for everyone to see that Yun Haiyang was here to cause trouble.


    Since it was a battle, there would be injuries.


    Yun Haiyang¡¯s heart was filled with coldness, ¡°This brat comes from outside Canopy Great Country and hasn¡¯t become Qinxin¡¯s husband yet. Even if I kill him here, no one will stand up for a dead genius.¡±


    In terms of identity, he came from one of the Four Families, the Yun family. Thus, even if he killed Zhao Feng, the Flooding Lake City Lord couldn¡¯t do anything to him.


    ¡°I have no disagreements.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly took out the Luohou Bow.


    Following this, the entire archery field was enforced by an array so that the battle inside wouldn¡¯t harm the spectators.


    At this moment, Liu Qinxin couldn¡¯t help but be slightly sympathetic towards Zhao Feng as she could feel Yun Haiyang didn¡¯t have any good intentions.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry,. With me here, there won¡¯t be any deaths.¡±


    The City Lord said confidently as he patted her and smiled.


    Liu Qinxin slightly relaxed and was slightly guilty since her father was using Yun Haiyang to test out Zhao Feng, causing the latter to be in danger.


    Inside the archery field.


    Yun Haiyang and Zhao Feng faced off against each other.


    Because it was an exchange of archery skills, there were rules stating that they were only allowed to use their bows and nothing else.


    Yun Haiyang¡¯s cultivation had reached half-step True Spirit Realm and his true strength was close to the Liu Qinxin¡¯s.


    However, since it was only an exchange of bows and arrows, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t fear him at all.


    ¡°It has started¡­.¡±


    Yun Haiyang pulled back the green scarlet bow in his hand and a red flaming light appeared from the bow that merged with his scarlet red True Force.


    On top of that, a green layer of sharp wind appeared around Yun Haiyang¡¯s body; it was like a barrier.


    ¡°Flame element bow with the addition of wind. Eighty percent chance of explosion effect¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye inspected the opponent and his heart jumped.


    Yun Haiyang¡¯s cultivation had reached half-step True Spirit Realm and had stronger true force. The bow in his hand had the attribute of fire and with the addition of wind; its damage could instantly slay normal cultivators at half-step True Spirit Realm.


    Seeing this, Zhao Feng decided to end this battle quickly.


    His actions were smooth, and the instant the Luohou Bow was taken out, three Luohou Arrows had returned to the bow and a layer of ice had enveloped Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body was surrounded by ice and arcs of lightning that crackled incessantly.


    On the tip of the three Luohou Arrows, wisps of sharp lightning appeared while the tail of the arrows were balls of wind.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s bow and arrow contains the three elements of ice, lightning and wind. They are also mother and son weapons.¡±


    Yun Haiyang exclaimed and couldn¡¯t help be slightly jealous.


    He liked bows, but this was the first time he had seen such a masterful product.


    It was almost certain that such an item came from a Master-level blacksmith.


    End this quickly.


    Yun Haiyang released the string in his hand with a thunderous explosion.


    Qiu-----


    A dark arrow raging with flames darted towards Zhao Feng like a dragon of fire and wind.


    He had succeeded in attacking first, allowing him to gain the advantage.


    Yun Haiyang¡¯s heart was filled with joy. The battle between archers was extremely quick and a second could decide the battle.


    However, right as he fired his arrow Zhao Feng¡¯s string on the Luohou Bow shook.


    Beng~


    A bright azure arrow gave off sparks as it flew into the air, creating a loud explosion.


    Yun Haiyang only felt his eyes spin before an arc of lightning as well as chaotic winds rushed towards him.


    Booom--


    The arrow first collided against the scarlet red arrow in midair. The cold wind and raging flames intertwined together before exploding, causing a plume of smoke to envelope half the field.


    The archers outside gazed at the scene with gaping mouths.


    Qiu---


    An arrow pierced through the smoke and shot towards Yun Haiyang. Its speed was extremely fast and had surpassed the speed of sound.


    Yun Haiyang¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he furiously circulated his True Force, creating snakes of fire that merged with the wind, creating a barrier of wind and fire.


    In under half a breath, Yun Haiyang had controlled the situation. When Zhao Feng¡¯s arrow came close, only ten to twenty percent of its power was left. Only the coldness and lightning caused him a bit of trouble.


    He took a deep breath and condensed his Qi of half True Spirit, preparing to send in more powerful attacks.


    However, just at this point in time two flashes shot through the air and brought upon a gust of icy wind.


    Yun Haiyang shot out an arrow of fire but was engulfed by the explosion of lightning and coldness.


    In this instant, wind howled while the ice and lightning eroded.


    Yun Haiyang¡¯s body began to stiffen.


    His third arrow had yet to be fired but the coldness and lightning on his body rose to another level.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s third arrow arrived.


    On the archery field.


    Yun Haiyang was swept up by the flickering bolts of lightning.


    He screamed and howled but the sound of his voice faded away as a layer of ice covered his body.


    In just half a breath, Yun Haiyang had been turned into a human ice sculpture.


    The spectators all took a deep breath and awoke from their shocked state.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was dumbstruck and his expression changed slightly as he rushed over with the Qi of True Spirit to save Yun Haiyang.


    ¡°Tiegan Master indeed lives up to his name. My third arrow could even threaten those at the True Spirit Realm but the expense of True Force is terrifying¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed as he put the Luohou Bow away and breathed quickly.


    The Luohou Bow¡¯s power had increased after the refining but just then Zhao Feng had expended a quarter of his True Force.


    Only when one had reached half-step True Spirit Realm would they be able to use the Luohou Bow as they pleased.


    In the archery field.


    After the City Lord¡¯s help, Yun Haiyang¡¯s life wasn¡¯t in danger anymore but his injury was shocking - an arm of his had been broken.


    This battle ended with disability.


    The dangers between a battle of archers could be seen from this.


    ¡°Why did you injury him so severely?¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyebrows rose as she spoke.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes almost popped out. Now he was the victim?


    The City Lord had tried to test Zhao Feng and use Yun Haiyang as a spear.


    Yun Haiyang wanted to kill Zhao Feng. The latter was the true victim but had ended the fight with only three arrows.


    The battle of archers was too dangerous. If the battle continued, Zhao Feng would have died.


    After the Luohou Bow was upgraded, the expense of True Force was too large. Although, Yun Haiyang¡¯s bow wasn¡¯t much worse compared to Zhao Feng¡¯s, due to the difference in cultivation, the former would have won if the fight continued.


    At this instant.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s eyebrows were furrowed. Yun Haiyang was a direct descendant of the Yun main family and had a complicated identity. Now that his arm had been lost, the trouble caused wasn¡¯t small.


    He had first estimated that the chances of winning between Yun Haiyang and Zhao Feng was 60-40% respectively.


    After all, Yun Haiyang was known for his archery skills in the Yun family and had exceeded Zhao Feng in terms of cultivation.


    The result had surprised the City Lord and Liu Qinxin.


    Zhao Feng laughed in his heart because he had caused trouble for the City Lord.


    The latter¡¯s tests had enforced Zhao Feng¡¯s desire to escape. If he had lost today, who would stand up for him?


    Liu Qinxin sighed in her heart and knew that it wasn¡¯t Zhao Feng¡¯s fault. Her father had tested Zhao Feng first and her cousin had malicious intentions.


    However.


    The winner wasn¡¯t the City Lord nor Yun Haiyang.


    Yun Haiyang had become disabled and the City Lord¡¯s head would hurt trying to solve this problem.


    Only Zhao Feng had nothing.


    After this test, the Flooding Lake City Lord found that this youth could bring him more surprises as well as more trouble.


    Furthermore, Liu Qinxin found that her future husband was becoming more and more mysterious. It was as if he was enclosed in a layer of mist.


    He was the destined one in her life.


    On the same night.


    Zhao Feng sat cross legged on the ground and gently touched the Luohou Bow in his hand.


    After refinement, the Luohou Bow¡¯s power had increased but with Zhao Feng¡¯s current cultivation, it was hard to use it to its full potential.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and continued comprehending the final section of the first Lightning Inheritance.


    In his mind.


    Scenes from the Lightning Inheritance flashed by.


    Arcs after arc of lightning formed brilliant lights like fireworks.


    Days passed by and at a certain moment.


    A gaze of fulfilment appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes. Lightning arcs as thin as spider web etched an unusual symbol similar to a blooming flower onto his hand.

 267 Mysterious Entrustmen

    The azure symbol was comprised of lightning, it was like an arc.


    It was similar to the symbol that Zhao Feng had received in the Floating Crest Trial.


    The arcs of lightning within this seal contained deep intent and represented Zhao Feng¡¯s understanding of the Lightning Inheritance.


    At the same time.


    In Zhao Feng¡¯s mind, the first floor of the Lightning Inheritance lit up entirely and the second floor showed signs of awakening, it wasn¡¯t as dim as it used to be.


    As for the third floor, it was still pitch black.


    ¡°The Lightning Inheritance is split into three floors. Those at Ascended Realm can usually only comprehend the first floor whereas the second floor needed one to be at True Spirit Realm. As for the third floor, one needs to be at least at the third rank of the True Spirit Realm- the ¡°True Lord Rank¡±. If I¡¯m able to comprehend the entire Lightning Inheritance, there¡¯s a chance of reaching the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng lightly let out a breath and the azure lightning seal in his palm turned into a flower the size of a fist that blossomed in the air before disappearing.


    At this instant.


    The entire first floor had been comprehended by Zhao Feng and the entrance to the second floor was open.


    The only problem was the fact that the second floor required one to be True Spirit Realm to be able to understand it while the third floor was for the True Lord Rank¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness tried to enter the second floor, but the images and scenes within caused him to be unable to breath.


    Any scene would shake Zhao Feng¡¯s heart and comprehending it was extremely tiring.


    However, even then, Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Although it was hard to comprehend the second floor, it wasn¡¯t impossible.


    Hard and impossible were two entirely different concepts.


    ¡°I¡¯m not even at the half-step True Spirit Realm, why can I still manage to comprehend the second floor?¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    The only answer he could think of was the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye gave him powerful mental energy and the ability to perceive and comprehend.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness merged into his left eye.


    In his left eye, the azure abyss had reached seven foot seven. It seemed as though it was reaching a limit.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was only at the 6th Sky but the azure abyss had extended over seven feet.


    When Zhao Feng had dissolved the Ghost Mark, his cultivation had fallen. However, his comprehension hadn¡¯t disappeared and after learning mental energy skill, it had caused him to improve.


    Thinking back to the Concealed Dragon Ruins, his mental energy level was on par with some cultivators at the half-step True Spirit Realm.


    The level of his mental energy was stronger than before.


    As Zhao Feng was surprised, a mysterious faint blue light appeared in the centre of the azure abyss and a cold aura enveloped his body.


    ¡°This is¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook as the faint blue light quickly faded, however, this was a power that he had never seen before. Just a tiny bit of it had made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shake.


    Could it be that the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s power was on the verge of another awakening? Or had it reached a breakthrough point?


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but think.


    He was sure that his level of mental energy had surpassed usual cultivators at half-step True Spirit Realm.


    This was due to the understanding he had gained in the Origin Core Ruins and the progression of completing the first floor of the Lightning Inheritance.


    This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level had exceeded his cultivation and thus, allowed him to comprehend a portion of the second floor.


    The increase in mental energy level had allowed him to gain insights towards controlling True Force.


    On the same night.


    Zhao Feng continued to consolidate his foundation and felt the movement of his True Force become smoother.


    The threads of True Force were even thinner than a needle but were extremely condensed and occasionally flashed with lightning.


    Half a day later.


    Zhao Feng had a feeling that he could return to the 7th Sky whenever he wanted.


    Furthermore, when he broke through, his foundation and strength of his True Force would be much stronger than the time when he had used the Shedding Spiritual Pill.


    The drop in cultivation last time could be seen giving him a chance to become even stronger.


    This time, his cultivation was greater than before and when he broke through again, it would be an entirely different realm.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed, uncertain whether to break through right now or remain at the peak of the 6th Sky.


    ¡°When my Yin Shadow Cloak¡¯s fixed, my plan will be almost complete.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye surveyed his surroundings and noticed the four experts at the half-step True Spirit Realm that surveyed Zhao Feng.


    These four at half-step True Spirit Realm all wore dark robes and specialised in tracking and hiding.


    The Qi of True Spirit in their bodies had reached 50%. Zhao Feng would find it hard to fight even one of them back when the fight for the fianc¨¦e was held.


    These Four experts were obviously enough to look after Zhao Feng.


    Three days later.


    In an underground room of Tiegan Palace.


    ¡°The solution to fix this Yin Shadow Cloak is complete. Now we just need to fix it.¡±


    Tiegan Master said.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hide the fact he was refining his Luohou Bow to the Flooding Lake City Lord but this time, the reparations of the Yin Shadow Cloak was to be done in secret.


    Thus, Zhao Feng still needed to help Tiegan Master personally and not by the help of other apprentices.


    ¡°Right, the process of fixing the Yin Shadow Cloak is extremely complex. Such control isn¡¯t something a normal apprentice can do.¡±


    Tiegan Masters smiled.


    This time Tiegan Master gave complex and strict requirements to Zhao Feng.


    This made the latter suspicious as Tiegan Master was obviously troubling him or testing him.


    However, he knew that the higher the requirements, the lower the chance of failure and the greater increase in power.


    Tiegan Master indifferently gave all these tasks to Zhao Feng and because Zhao Feng was restricted by experience, he would make the occasional mistake that would be corrected by Tiegan Master.


    Some of the harder tasks such as controlling fire and carving arrays were even given to Zhao Feng.


    On the third day, sweat had started to pour from Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead as he finally felt fatigue.


    ¡°Remove your eye patch, let¡¯s see your limit.¡±


    Tiegan Master said with a smile.


    Zhao Feng paused before removing the eyepatch and revealing a sharp azure eye.


    The moment Tiegan Master saw the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, his heart shook slightly and was moved.


    ¡°Your eyepatch can¡¯t block the true aura from your eye especially when you¡¯re using the power of the eye. I¡¯ll give you a brand new eyepatch some day.¡±


    Tiegan Master said before signalling Zhao Feng to continue.


    This time.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any worries as he opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and began to complete these tasks.


    Under this situation his perceivement and control reached an entirely new level.


    ¡°Your eye is perfect for forging. If you¡¯re willing I can raise you to become a Blacksmith Grand Master.¡±


    Tiegan Master couldn¡¯t help but be excited.


    ¡°What¡¯s the point in testing my skills?¡±


    Zhao Feng stopped working.


    Over the past few days Zhao Feng''s work had exceeded normal apprentices and even the limits of some old blacksmiths.


    Tiegan Master flashed a smile, ¡°I won¡¯t hide it anymore. Someone asked me to build a powerful Spiritual grade weapon which will need two blacksmith Master¡¯s working together, and it might not even succeed then.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s this got to do with me?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked curiously.


    ¡°This weapon comes from an ancient blueprint and is extremely difficult. Unimaginable control and precision is needed otherwise it¡¯ll fail.¡±


    When Tiegan Master spoke up to here, he paused slightly.


    A light flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes as he spoke dimly, ¡°Looks like you already made your plans when this junior first came to Tiegan Palace.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, you can find the weaknesses just by glancing at an item once. This is something that even I¡¯ll need to spend a bit of time on.¡±


    Tiegan Master didn¡¯t disagree.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but think. He could help Tiegan Master but what benefits did he get out of it?


    One had to know there was only a bit more than two months left till the date of his marriage with Liu Qinxin, there wasn¡¯t much time left.


    ¡°Hehe, the profits earned by completing this weapon exceeds your imagination. Just by this point alone, you can¡¯t reject it.¡±


    Tiegan Master smiled mysteriously, full of confidence.


    Oh?


    Zhao Feng was slightly curious.


    Tiegan Master suddenly spread out his Spiritual Sense and enveloped the entire room.


    Zhao Feng found a slightly unusual aura.


    ¡°The blueprint for this weapons comes from one of the Four great inheritance places. The ¡®Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance¡¯.¡±


    Tiegan Master told Zhao Feng with a solemn expression.


    Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take a cold breath.


    The Heavens Legacy Inheritance was ranked first out of the four inheritances and was the most mysterious as well as ancient one.


    No one had ever received the Heavens Legacy Inheritance and the Inheritance only appeared once every tens of thousands of years.


    According to the records, the appearance of the Heavens Legacy Inheritance would cause the situation within the continent to change every time.


    ¡°Secondly, the identity of the person is extremely powerful. Once you complete this task, that person will be indebted towards you and will help you greatly within Canopy Great Country.¡±


    Tiegan Master revealed the second reward.


    Zhao Feng was silent for a moment before agreeing Tiegan Master.


    The help from this entrustment was too big.


    Just as Tiegan Master said, the blueprint came from the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance. No one could reject it by this point alone.


    Like this, Zhao Feng and Tiegan Master reached an agreement.


    Zhao Feng would help Tiegan Master build the weapon.


    Next.


    The duo fixed the Yin Shadow Cloak within a few days and the new Yin Shadow Cloak became a complete inheritance item once again.


    Zhao Feng put on the Yin Shadow Cloak and began to fade away.


    Shua!


    A shadow surfaced in the corner of the room, it was as if Zhao Feng had turned into a ghost.


    Tiegan Master couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°This inheritance item is indeed a beautiful artwork. Apart from invisibility and speed, it can also absorb part of the power from attacks. If one¡¯s cultivation is high enough, they could even create ¡°Yin Shadow Doppelgangers.¡±


    Yin Shadow Doppelgangers?


    Zhao Feng revealed a curious expression. Tiegan Master was indeed worthy of being a blacksmith master who could find out the hidden powers of inheritance items.

 268 Take Care of Her for a Momen

    Tiegan Master explained, ¡°Yin Shadow Doppelgangers aren¡¯t simply just blurred afterimages. They can also distract the enemy whilst also attacking. It has countless uses.¡±


    An image appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. When he attacked, several shadows of himself with the same actions as him would appear and attack the enemy.


    Of course, this power needed one to reach a certain cultivation but no matter what, Zhao Feng¡¯s goal had already been accomplished.


    After fixing the Yin Shadow Cloak, the invisibility power had increased dramatically, especially when he was motionless.


    Within darkness, this power would be twice as potent.


    When Zhao Feng activated the invisibility effect, even those at True Spirit Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to perceive him in darkness without intently searching.


    For the next couple days.


    The people of the City Lord realised that the frequency of Zhao Feng visiting the Tiegan Mountain had been increasing.


    There were times that Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t even return for a few days.


    Rumours began to spread to the public that Tiegan Master had taken Zhao Feng as a personal disciples, but no matter what the truth was, the relationship between the two was not simple


    This was good news for the Liu family.


    Because of the City Lord, Tiegan Master and the Liu family held a bad relationship between each other.


    Tiegan Master had a high status and was ranked in the top ten blacksmiths; it was possible he was even in the top 5.


    What was more important was that this Master had a rumoured connection with the Iron Blood Religion.


    The Liu family had always wanted to build a good relationship with Tiegan Master but there hadn¡¯t been much progress.


    However, now that the City Lord¡¯s son-in-law was loved by Tiegan Master. This was a good sign.


    The Flooding Lake City even called Zhao Feng over.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er if you¡¯re able to become Tiegan Master¡¯s core disciple this will be great help for the Flooding Lake Liu family.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord spoke as though he was Zhao Feng¡¯s father.


    Zhao Feng bluntly rejected.


    Tiegan Master would love to take him as a disciple but Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t obliged to spending too much time in forging.


    He had never forgotten his orders.


    As time passed, Zhao Feng gradually became more occupied.


    He would stay at the Tiegan Mountain and listen to Tiegan Master¡¯s preaching.


    Zhao Feng would also help Tiegan Master craft some weapons, one of them even reaching the Spiritual grade.


    The process of crafting was smooth and Zhao Feng¡¯s understanding of forging improved at a thousand miles a day.


    Tiegan Master was extremely pleased - Zhao Feng¡¯s progression was greater than his expectations.


    All of this was because of the weapon task that was entrusted to them.


    Meanwhile, there was only two months left before the date of the marriage between Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin.


    Liu Qinxin, this in-name future wife had been ignored.


    After all, Zhao Feng was using the idea of building a good relationship with Tiegan Master to leave and this was something that even the City Lord supported.


    Initially, Liu Qinxin was able to hold it in, but as the date of their marriage came closer, she couldn¡¯t suppress it anymore.


    Marriage was an extremely important thing for women, but Zhao Feng never went to find Liu Qinxin.


    ¡°What does Zhao Feng even think of me?¡±


    Liu Qinxin was slightly stressed and her eyes bore unsatisfaction every time she saw Zhao Feng.


    After the day the date for their marriage was set, Zhao Feng¡¯s image in Liu Qinxin¡¯s heart had started to change.


    Initially, Zhao Feng was a young beast tamer whose appearance was one hundred and eight thousand folds different from Lin Qinxin¡¯s ideal husband.


    But afterwards, this youth became shrouded in mist and every test would unveil new strength and potential.


    A mysterious eye bloodline, extreme archery skills, beast taming, talent that made even blacksmith masters even sigh.


    The performance from this youth was completed with confidence and tranquility every time.


    Lights of every kind shone upon him.


    Which person of his age in the Flooding Lake area could rival him?


    Liu Qinxin had to admit that this was a youth with unbound potential, and he started to close in on the image of her ideal husband.


    The most important thing was that he was the one destined in her life.


    At this moment, Liu Qinxin could manage to accept this future husband, but the only problem was that Zhao Feng was always occupied and had virtually ignored her.


    Finally, upon this day.


    Zhao Feng finally came to find Liu Qinxin.


    The latter let out a breath. No matter how wooden a youth may be, they would still understand reality. She didn¡¯t believe that the opposing party could ignore her charm.


    ¡°Qinxin, I¡¯m going to help Tiegan Master craft a Spiritual grade item and perhaps stay at the Tiegan Mountain for a month. Because the City Lord is absent, could you please go tell him?¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately told her the reason he had visited and after that, left immediately.


    A month?


    Liu Qinxin was dazed. She felt as if she had fallen from the clouds and into the abyss.


    The coldness and ignorance of this youth had exceeded her imagination.


    Of course, this was her. If it were some other girl they would have broken down by now.


    ¡°Wait¡­¡±


    A crisp voice stopped Zhao Feng¡¯s footsteps.


    Zhao Feng paused, looking perplexed at Liu Qinxin.


    At the point in time Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes turned cold and Zhao Feng finally realised the problem.


    ¡°Dammit, I forgot such an important thing.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts swayed.


    Ever since the marriage date was set he had been planning how to escape or was helping Tiegan Master, therefore ignoring his future wife.


    Zhao Feng was worried that Liu Qinxin would see something was wrong.


    If this detail was the reason his plan failed, it wouldn¡¯t be worth it.


    ¡°I know you¡¯ve been busy over the past few days but about our marriage¡­.¡±


    Liu Qinxin didn¡¯t know what to say and felt somewhat humiliated in the heart. Under her veil, her face grew red. This was something Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t see.


    The latter had already realised that his ¡®ignorance¡¯ might have left a ¡®flaw¡¯ behind and was bent on thinking about how to fix it.


    How should I fix it?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts flew by. The most important thing right now was to calm Liu QInxin¡¯s heart.


    ¡°How should I stabilise her? That¡¯s right¡­. Take care of her for bit.¡±


    Zhao Feng thoughts were quick and hasteful


    He didn¡¯t know much about relationships - he hadn¡¯t even thought about them much.


    Afterall, he was still growing, and he only wanted to focus on cultivation.


    Apart from that, the merging of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had caused Zhao Feng¡¯s state of mind to become calm and have an absolutely cold attitude.


    All Zhao Feng needed to do was to open his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. This would allow him to see through flesh so no matter how ugly or pretty a girl was, they were still a combination of bones, blood and True Force.


    Next.


    Zhao Feng thought about how he should take care of Liu Qinxin.


    ¡°Qinxin, I know that I almost forgot our marriage over the past while. Sorry about that¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cold eyes suddenly became warm and a faint smile even appeared on his face.


    Liu QInxin paused - when did this guy¡¯s attitude turn?


    However, she had to admit the fact that after being used to Zhao Feng¡¯s coldness, it was rare to see Zhao Feng¡¯s warm attitude.


    ¡°Deep within my heart, all I wished to do was to admire your looks from afar, I had no thoughts to marry you. I never expected the Heavens to be so nice. Everything¡¯s like a dream-come-true.¡±


    Zhao Feng kept on making up stories about ¡®caring¡¯ and his actions were full of compassion.


    Looking at the youth before her, Liu Qinxin couldn¡¯t help but be somewhat surprised. She didn¡¯t think that this ignorant youth would have the ¡®true love¡¯ to confess to her.


    While Zhao Feng was speaking he was also paying attention to Liu Qinxin¡¯s expression but the latter didn¡¯t seem to change much.


    Could it be I¡¯m not caring enough?


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and took a step out before reaching out a hand to wrap around her waist.


    ¡°You¡­..¡±


    Liu Qinxin didn¡¯t expect Zhao Feng to be so courageous to wrap his hand around her waist.


    She exclaimed and instinctively opened her bloodline power.


    However, the movement of her bloodline power activated Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline.


    Maybe it was because Liu Qinxin¡¯s bloodline power was threatening, a small wisp of faint blue light appeared in the azure depths of his left pupil.


    Instantly.


    Liu Qinxin only felt her bloodline tremble and freeze.


    Zhao Feng added more power to his hand and gently pulled her into his embrace.


    Because of the supressment of bloodline power Liu Qinxin couldn¡¯t move and her heart beated rapidly.


    ¡°It actually feels pretty good to hug a woman¡¯s body.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought, but most of his attention was still focused on Liu Qinxin¡¯s expression.


    Her expression was mixed with embarrassment, anger, care and a bit of vulnerability.


    In reality, Liu Qinxin¡¯s bloodline power had been frozen and it was hard for her to even breath. Of course she would feel helpless.


    ¡°Looks like my caring still isn¡¯t enough.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed.


    He then lowered his head and gently kissed Liu Qinxin¡¯s forehead.


    ¡°You.. how dare you¡­¡±


    Liu Qinxin was fully stunned. Embarrassment, anger, emotions of every kind swirled in her head.


    Seeing that Liu Qinxin¡¯s expression wasn¡¯t right, Zhao Feng immediately let go of the girl that could destroy countries with their looks.


    Right at this moment, Liu Qinxin¡¯s True Force poured out and the aura of the half-step True Spirit Realm appeared.


    Not good.


    Zhao Feng finally realised his caring had gone overboard.


    ¡°You¡­ you shameless¡­.¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s voice was mixed with embarrassment and anger but she stopped before she could complete her sentence.


    She wanted to call Zhao Feng a shameless bastard but he was her future husband.


    The finger that was pointing towards Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know whether to retreat or not.


    ¡°Qinxin, I have no ill intents. I just wanted to take care of you.¡±


    Zhao Feng was speechless.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Liu Qinxin looked deeply at him as her eyes returned to water clear.


    This youth was her future husband and closer to the ideal husband in her mind.


    Plus, being her future husband, his actions just then weren¡¯t too overboard.


    ¡°En, that¡¯s good. I¡¯m going to the Tiegan Mountain now. Can you please tell the City Lord?¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath and returned to his usual cold self and he disappeared.


    Gone?


    Liu Qinxin stopped. This guy was just confessing to her then hugging and kissing her. Now he disappeared as if nothing had happened.


    ¡°What¡­ does he think of me?¡±


    Looking at the youth who disappeared into the dark night sky, Liu Qinxin didn¡¯t know what to say.

 269 Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan

    Tiegan Mountain.


    Zhao Feng arrived on time as agreed.


    According to the deal he and Tiegan Master had made, they would begin to craft the Spiritual grade weapon tonight.


    When Zhao Feng entered the Tiegan Mountain this time, he sensed a multitudes of foreign auras causing his heart to freeze.


    The entire Tiegan Mountain was tense and was dead silent. Not a single sound could be heard.


    At the gates of the Tiegan Palace was a golden blood dragon sedan with a symbol of a sword and blade intertwining.


    There were four sedan carriers in the four corners of the sedan and each and every one of them were straight and stationary..


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned over them and his expression changed dramatically.


    The four sedan carriers had immensely powerful auras.


    True Spirit Realm.


    All of them were at True Spirit Realm.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take a cold breath. What kind of person would have four True Human Rank experts carry a sedan?


    At the same time.


    Around half a mile back four dark figures merged into the darkness. Surveying Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Tiegan Mountain tonight seems different.¡±


    One of the dark robed figures murmured.


    The person at the front said, ¡°There¡¯s a sedan outside the Tiegan Palace. It¡¯s made from gold metal and has a blood dragon as well as sword and blade¡­.¡±


    As soon as his words finished.


    The four dark robed figures sucked in cold breaths.


    ¡°Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan.¡±


    The four stared at the sedan, they were paralyzed and fearful.


    At this moment the backs of the four drenched in sweat.


    ¡°What do we do?¡±


    One of them asked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡±


    The leader¡¯s voice was bitter.


    ¡°If that person in the sedan has the intent to kill¡­. Even if both the City Lord and Liu family head arrives, he can¡¯t save us.¡±


    The four dark robed figures were like statues as they stood motionless.


    If one listened closely, they would realise that the entire Tiegan Mountain, even the birds and beasts, had not dared to make a sound.


    It was dead silent.


    Zhao Feng felt that even breathing was even harder than usual.


    It seemed to realise that all of this had to do with the blood dragon gold metal sedan.


    ¡°According to the deal with Tiegan Master, the person who entrusted us with this task will also arrive today.¡±


    Zhao Feng quietly entered the Tiegan Palace.


    The four sedan carriers were like twigs, they didn¡¯t even look at Zhao Feng.


    The latter only felt a coldness.


    The entire Tiegan Palace was desolate, there was neither a single apprentice nor disciple in sight.


    ¡°You¡¯re here.¡±


    Tiegan Master landed onto the ground.


    Zhao Feng was frightened and was able to speak until Tiegan Master pulled him into a secret hall underground.


    In the secret underground hall, there was a blood-red hair coloured male dressed in a golden robe. His age was around thirty he had an ordinary appearance..


    ¡°Lord Tiemo, my assistant is here.¡±


    Tiegan Master said respectfully.


    Zhao Feng remained stationary and inspected this blood-hair coloured golden-robed male. He couldn¡¯t see through this man at all. He seemed extremely normal but one would never forget him.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng instinctively felt that he shouldn¡¯t use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Him? According to the original plan we need two blacksmith masters to have a chance of success.¡±


    The blood hair coloured man¡¯s voice was soothing.


    Tiegan Master explained, ¡°Precision and control is the most important point in crafting this weapon. On this point, his precision is even better than a blacksmith master. Furthermore, Lord Tiemo needs this weapon as fast as possible but Pei Master is crafting items for the Emperor and doesn¡¯t have the time.¡±


    While the two were speaking, Zhao Feng was silent but he had still managed to gather a large amount of information. If he wasn¡¯t wrong, Pei Master was the number one blacksmith in Canopy Great Country.


    ¡°Oh well, you and Pei Master were both disciples of a blacksmith grand master. In terms of forging, the two of you are probably on par.¡±


    The blood hair coloured man nodded his head.


    He didn¡¯t question Zhao Feng¡¯s ability and instead decided to believe what Tiegan Master said.


    ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    The blood hair coloured man asked.


    ¡°Junior Zhao Feng greets senior Tiemo.¡±


    Zhao Feng realised that this person¡¯s identity was extremely high so his tone was respectful but didn¡¯t contain any charm.


    The blood coloured man nodded his head and didn¡¯t speak anymore.


    Tiegan Master didn¡¯t waste any time as he lead Zhao Feng to begin forging.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t ask many questions. What he needed to do right now was to help Tiegan Master help finish this item.


    ¡°Look at the blueprint and its requirements before forging these few parts.¡±


    Tiegan Master took out a few pieces of paper and told Zhao Feng the details.


    Zhao Feng took off his eyepatch and imprinted the contents onto his left eye. He was certain that these drawings weren¡¯t complete but the requirements.


    The requirements stunned Zhao Feng. The precision had reached a monster level. Not a single mistake was allowed.


    Furthermore, thousands of these parts were needed and each of these parts ranged in size from a seed to a palm.


    These thousands of parts couldn¡¯t have any mistakes and this was just the beginning steps, not the complete item.


    Although Master level people could create a few perfect parts thousands of part with the exact dimensions, weight, level of refinement, fire level couldn¡¯t have any mistakes. This was way too strict.


    What was more important was that even blacksmith masters wouldn¡¯t be able to spot a mistake.


    However, these problems weren¡¯t too much for Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Any problems?¡±


    Tiegan Master asked.


    ¡°No but it¡¯ll take time and effort. Additionally, in the process, there¡¯ll be some materials wasted.¡±


    Zhao Feng answered.


    ¡°Materials wasted?¡±


    A smile curled up on the blood hair coloured man¡¯s mouth but he didn¡¯t speak.


    The materials wasted before to craft this weapon could fit up an entire Tiegan palace.


    ¡°Remember, the slightest mistake can cause the item to fail.¡±


    Tiegan Master warned.


    ¡°Even if there is mistakes I¡¯ll find it.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and started to refine the materials.


    From start to finish his expression was calm and had no change in emotion.


    His every breath, every power, was controlled perfectly.


    The blood hair coloured man stared at his azure eye for a while with interest but didn¡¯t speak.


    Time passed by slowly.


    Zhao Feng and Tiegan Master both worked on their own parts.


    The former worked on beginner level work that was more troublesome while the latter worked on arrays and the refinement of high grade materials.


    Zhao Feng was shocked as he processed these materials. Any one of these parts were worth a normal mortal weapon and these were only the low grade materials.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even know the name of the high grade materials and Tiegan Master would tell him their elements and process it according to the drawings.


    The beginning of the forging was a long journey.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye controlled every refinement and as time passed, the speed of his hands increased like a line of water.


    One needed to be extremely careful when refining these items since a little change in temperature or power would cause failure.


    And indeed, Zhao Feng did waste some materials but he learnt from his mistakes and would soon find the perfect point.


    The blood hair coloured man¡¯s calm expression started to turn into solemness as time passed.


    In the blink of an eye half a month passed by.


    Zhao Feng would sleep when he was tired and then keep on working when he woke up.


    Finally, on this day, the processing was done.


    ¡°The first step is finally finished. Now we need to find the mistakes and make sure these parts are perfect.¡±


    Tiegan Master said.


    The method they used was very simple: Inspect each other¡¯s items.


    Zhao Feng first inspected Tiegan Master¡¯s works. Every one of his works were like an art piece.


    According to Tiegan Master¡¯s requirements, Zhao Feng found a total of one hundred and twenty-three including those with the slightest imperfection.


    ¡°A hundred and twenty three? So much?¡±


    Tiegan Master was slightly surprised and looking closely at it some of these were acceptable but had been picked out by Zhao Feng.


    After that.


    It was Tiegan Master¡¯s turn to look at Zhao Feng¡¯s work.


    ¡°Six in total.¡±


    Tiegan Master was surprised. These flaws were mainly because that Zhao Feng lacked experience or didn¡¯t understand the theory.


    The expression of the blood hair coloured man changed slightly.


    ¡°Let me check once as well.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to double check through his work and would question Tiegan Master sometimes.


    Soon twenty three flaws were picked out.


    Some of these were hidden very well - even Tiegan Master couldn¡¯t see it. Another few of these flaws were either too small or acceptable.


    However, all of these were taken out.


    After this Zhao Feng then checked all of these parts over a few times.


    ¡°Done.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    The first step had been succesfully complete and Tiegan Master was overjoyed because the time used was less than half of what was expected.


    The merging of the items needed someone of high forging skills to do it so Zhao Feng was only an assistant.


    Plus the core secrets needed to be hidden from Zhao Feng.


    What the latter needed to do was find the ¡®flaws¡¯.


    Continuous improvement.


    Step after step was complete.


    When the eighth day of the second month arrived, Tiegan Master stopped.


    ¡°All the steps are complete. We just have one more thing to do - forging.¡±


    Tiegan Master took a deep breath as he requested Zhao Feng to check over the flaws.


    Zhao Feng triple checked the materials and nodded his head.


    The blood hair coloured man also participated in forging.


    This was the last step and failure meant that everything before was for nothing.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to participate in this step and was asked to go back. After all, this item came from the Heavens Legacy Inheritance and the crafting level was unheard of. The final item would be world shocking.


    ¡°If the forging succeeds, you¡¯ll be a hero of the Iron Blood Religion.¡±


    The blood hair coloured man nodded his head towards Zhao Feng.

 270 Wheel of Light and Darkness

    Tiegan Mountain.


    The sword and blade symbol on the blood dragon sedan made of gold metal sat there.


    In the blink of an eye, a month had passed and no matter how hard it rained or how much lightning poured down, the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan didn¡¯t move and the living beings nearby were dead silent.


    At this moment, there were just experts at True Spirit Realm that came over but all left when they saw the sedan.


    Even the City Lord came over, but when he saw the sedan, he returned with a solemn expression.


    Tiegan Master was extremely famous in the Flooding Lake area and quite a few people knew that he had some mysterious relationship with the Iron Blood Religion.


    The Iron Blood Religion was extremely powerful in Canopy Great Country and used cold methods to kill their enemies.


    Facing such a powerful faction, even the main Liu family would be wary.


    As of today, everyone knew the war between the Iron Blood Religion and Imperial family. The other 6 great powers participated or were watching. It was a complex situation.


    In the secret underground hall.


    Zhao Feng sat and quietly cultivated.


    He wasn¡¯t much of a use for the last forging part. It all depended on the blood hair coloured man and Tiegan Master.


    In reality, there wasn¡¯t much skill involved in the last step but required a high cultivation level.


    For the next while.


    Zhao Feng occasionally felt a terrifying aura come from the room nearby. Just a sizzle of it made his heart tremble.


    Zhao Feng was sure that Tiegan Master wasn¡¯t this strong. Even the Flooding Lake City Lord couldn¡¯t be compared to this.


    ¡°It looks like that Lord Tiemo is at least at the True lord Rank and should be the high echelon of the Iron Blood Religion.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Experts at the True Lord Rank could flip clouds and create rain with their hands.


    Time passed by slowly.


    Zhao Feng was cultivation but still felt the occasional aura.


    Five to six days later.


    A screeching sound appeared and the aura of a weapon manifested.


    ¡°This is the aura of a Spiritual grade weapon¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his Luohou Bow tremble slightly and even his Yin Shadow Cloak felt uneasy.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat emerged and glanced towards the sealed forge.


    The secret forge was made of a special material which could stop one¡¯s Spiritual Sense. Even Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye wasn¡¯t able to see through it easily.


    The aura from the Spiritual grade weapon was extremely unique, cold and sharp. It had a dominant blood aura and as time passed, its aura strengthened.


    Zhao Feng could feel the terrifying heat radiating from the forge - it was enough to turn a normal cultivator at the True Human Rank into dust.


    At a certain point.


    The aura of the Spiritual grade weapon reached an extent that even the sealed forge couldn¡¯t hold it in.


    Ding-----


    Zhao Feng heard a weird sound and suddenly felt uneasy.


    Shua!


    With the flash of the Yin Shadow Cloak, Zhao Feng disappeared.


    At the next instant the sealed forge shook.


    With a ¡°crack¡± the wall that was as strong as a Spiritual grade weapon was sliced open by a dark silver wheel and sparks flew into the air.


    These sparks flew everywhere and any one of them could instantly kill an expert at 7th Sky.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng appeared at the entrance of the secret hall.


    At this moment the entire underground hall trembled slightly and Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye caught the figure of a dark grey wheel.


    In the centre of the grey wheel it was pitch black and at the sides thin blade rotated.


    Weng~~


    The grey wheel suddenly shrank and disappeared from view.


    The dust instantly fell and the blood hair coloured man and Tiegan Master walked out side by side.


    Tiegan Master looked extremely tired and weak but seemed full of excitement.


    The blood hair coloured man had a happy expression. His right arm was covered in a black flashing silver metallic item, like a robotic arm.


    The surface of the black and gold metal was smooth and clean like a perfect artwork. Not a single flaw was found. Even the joints were perfectly in sync.


    Apart from the fact it was made out of metal it looked the same as a normal arm, only looked more powerful.


    ¡°Hehe, this ¡®wheel of light and darkness¡¯ is more perfect than I imagined - it can easily slice through low tier Spiritual grade weapons. In the Northern Continent, apart from the ancient legendary weapons, there won¡¯t be many that can be compared to it.¡±


    The blood hair coloured man looked very satisfied.


    Zhao Feng had participated in creating the parts of the Wheel of Light and Darkness and every small part was imprinted in his mind.


    ¡°This Wheel of Light and Darkness should have three forms. The first is an arm shape that¡¯s suitable for close combat. The second is an attacking form. The Wheel of Light and Darkness will turn bigger and spin - it¡¯s sharpness is unblockable. The third form should be a shield.¡±


    Through the analysis of the parts Zhao Feng came to this conclusion.


    One had to admit that this was a perfect weapon and had surpassed the limits of weapons.


    The blood hair coloured man and Tiegan Master wouldn¡¯t have imagined that Zhao Feng¡¯s God;s Spiritual Eye would have such heaven defying copying powers and analysis skills.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t see the complete original drawings and didn¡¯t participate in the core parts, he had ¡®checked¡¯ through all these parts.


    In terms of familiarity, Zhao Feng had even exceeded Tiegan Master.


    ¡°It is indeed worthy of being something from the Heavens Legacy Inheritance. Even though we¡¯re able to craft it, we still don¡¯t understand its theory. If we didn¡¯t have Zhao Feng here we¡¯d pay ten times the price to craft this Wheel of Light and Darkness.¡±


    Tiegan Master said.


    Zhao Feng was crucial in creating the Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    However, at this moment, Zhao Feng was thinking, ¡°This Wheel of Light and Darkness is extremely suitable for people who have lost an arm.¡±


    This made him think of First Elder.


    If he had the materials Zhao Feng could create a simplified model of the Wheel of Light and Darkness but this was hard for him currently as he wasn¡¯t at the True Spirit Realm yet.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you helped a lot this time. What do you need? If you want to enter the Iron Blood Religion I can even give you a position of Chief.¡±


    The blood hair coloured man smiled and said.


    Hearing this Tiegan Master¡¯s expression changed slightly. A Chief rank in the Iron Blood Religion had the same status as a middle tier family in a Great country.


    Of course, the blood hair coloured man might be acting rash right now but he was still grateful towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Lord Tiemo, this junior comes from the countryside and came here to the Canopy Great Country to find someone. I don¡¯t have any thoughts of entering a faction right now.¡±


    Zhao Feng declined respectfully.


    Although the Iron Blood Religion was powerful, Zhao Feng knew nothing about it and didn¡¯t want to enter the war inside the Canopy Great Country.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng would rather have Tiemo owe him and ask when he needed help.


    ¡°No matter what you helped me a lot this time. If you need anything you can ask the Iron Blood Religion for help.¡±


    The blood hair coloured man took out a weird blood coloured token and gave it to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This is the Gold Iron Blood Order. With this token you can pass through the territories of the Iron Blood Religion with ease and ask something from me.¡±


    The blood hair coloured man explained.


    Zhao Feng thanked him and put away the Gold Iron Blood Order.


    The man didn¡¯t immediately leave when the weapon was made and Tiegan Master suggested, ¡°Although the Wheel of Light and Darkness is complete, we should let Zhao Feng inspect it for safety.¡±


    After all, this weapon was too detailed and its drawings came from the most mysterious and ancient Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    ¡°You actually don¡¯t need to check it because this weapon is made up of parts and every part is connected to the next, like human bones. Moving one will move all the others.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly but didn¡¯t reject the offer and took over the Wheel of Light and Darkness before opening his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and checking it out.


    Through the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he could copy the structure of the Wheel of Light and Darkness so that he could make one later.


    The Wheel of Light and Darkness was incredibly heavy and reached several hundred kilograms but this wasn¡¯t much for someone at the blood hair coloured man¡¯s level.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine, but for safety let it cool down for a couple days, just not too long. Just don¡¯t use its full strength for half a month.¡±


    After checking the weapon, Zhao Feng returned it to the blood hair coloured man.


    Hearing Zhao Feng¡¯s suggestion, Tiegan Master and the man exchanged glances with surprised expressions because what Zhao Feng said was the same as the drawings.


    Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t seen the drawings but could figure this out.


    The blood hair coloured man looked towards Zhao Feng, ¡°Your eye bloodline is extremely unique. If you¡¯re willing the doors of the Iron Blood Religion will always be open to you. I humbly give you my invitation.¡±


    Zhao Feng could feel Tiemo¡¯s sincerity so he didn¡¯t reject his offer and decided to make his decision after sending his Master¡¯s letter.


    After all, First Elder also had some arrangement for Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, aren¡¯t you finding someone? Why not get Lord Tiemo to help you?¡±


    Tiegan Master smiled.


    He could see that Tiemo placed great importance on Zhao Feng and was very honest.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up as he quickly took out half the jade hairbrush and handed it over to Tiemo.


    Tiemo took over the jade hairbrush and gently touched it as a light flashed in his eyes.


    ¡°Are you sure the person you¡¯re finding is called Liu Qinxin?¡±


    Tiemo asked.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, but I don¡¯t know which Liu Qinxin it is.¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely nervous.


    Tiemo should be in the higher echelons of the Iron Blood Religion and be very knowledgeable.


    ¡°Liu Qinxin¡­.¡±


    Tiemo¡¯s voice was deep and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed as his eyes moved.


    Zhao Feng had a feeling that Tiemo might have some lead to the person or even have the target.


    But he didn¡¯t ask because if Tiemo wanted to say who it was, he would.


    A while later.


    Tiemo returned the jade hairbrush to Zhao Feng and said indifferently, ¡°The person you¡¯re looking for should be Empress Qin.¡±


    Empress Qin.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook slightly. He didn¡¯t think the receiver of the letter would have such a special identity.


    Of all the people named Liu Qinxin, Empress Qin had the most distinguished background.


    ¡°Empress Qin!¡±


    Tiegan Master took a cold breath and said, ¡°This Empress Qin¡¯s status and power in the Imperial family can be ranked in the top three. Apparently, even the Emperor is played around by her!


    How could she be the person Zhao Feng is looking for?¡±

 271 Complete Plan

    When the truth was unveiled, both Zhao Feng and Tiegan Master were stunned.


    The person Zhao Feng was searching for was actually Empress Qin of the Imperial family.


    In Canopy Great Country, the Imperials were the leaders and by right, the three sects and four families should listen to them.


    As he thought up to this point, Zhao Feng furrowed his eyebrows and his expression changed abruptly as he recalled a piece of information.


    If he wasn¡¯t wrong, the Imperials and Iron Blood Religion were like fire and water.


    The Imperials were the leaders in name while the Iron Blood Religion was a religion who used cold methods to crush their enemies.


    ¡°Empress Qin is a person who tries to seduce every living being and wants to control the country. She is a great enemy of the Iron Blood Religion.¡±


    Tiemo said coldly.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng felt nervous.


    The Iron Blood Religion and Imperials family where Liu Qinxin was from were enemies.


    ¡°If I take the letter and go to Empress Qin, wouldn¡¯t this mean¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be worried. Tiegan Master also realised this point and looked towards Tiemo.


    The eyes of the blood hair coloured, Tiemo kept on flashing before he spoke, ¡°No matter what you¡¯ve worked for the Iron Blood Religion and me. I keep my gratefulness and resentments apart, so I won¡¯t trouble you.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath as he received the answer.


    He was worried that the Iron Blood Religion would force him to make a decision but even though Tiemo didn¡¯t trouble Zhao Feng, the latter felt his head hurt.


    The Iron Blood Religion and Imperial family couldn¡¯t stand one another.


    If he formed a good relationship with the Iron Blood Religion, he would become an enemy of the Imperial family which included Empress Qin.


    However, if he handed over the letter and was settled by the Imperial family, this would mean he would be the enemy of the Iron Blood Religion.


    No matter which one he chose, Zhao Feng would become the enemy of one of the sides.


    After the weapon was crafted, Zhao Feng immediately asked to leave.


    The most important task in front of him right now was how to escape this ¡®marriage¡¯.


    After sending Zhao Feng away with his eyes, Tiegan Master asked, ¡°Deputy Patriach, aren¡¯t you worried that Zhao Feng will be used by the Imperial family? His eye bloodline¡¯s power is remarkable.¡±


    ¡°You have to look at everything further in depth. If I forced him right now, he wouldn¡¯t be loyal. Plus, Empress Qin was born here. How much relationship would she have with someone from out of Canopy Great Country?¡±


    The blood hair coloured man¡¯s eyes were deep.


    ¡°Are you saying that Zhao Feng and Empress Qin actually don¡¯t have much of a connection between them?¡±


    Tiegan Master seemed to understand.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    A queer smile could be seen on the blood hair coloured man¡¯s face, ¡°The answer will be revealed soon. We¡¯ll see whether I¡¯m right or not at that time.¡±


    After returning to the city.


    Zhao Feng was immediately summoned by the City Lord.


    There was only half a month left till Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin¡¯s marriage.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to do anything from now on. Just focus on preparing for the marriage.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord said.


    In this period of time, the news of the marriage between Zhao Feng and the daughter of the City Lord had spread across the entire Flooding Lake area.


    The City Lord Palace was already making its preparations and the entire Flooding Lake City was filled with an atmosphere of joy.


    Zhao Feng became more pressured.


    The closer it was to the day of the marriage, the less chance that he would succeed in escaping.


    All of this had been planned step by step by the City Lord; he gave Zhao Feng no path of retreat.


    If it were any other man facing a girl such as Liu Qinxin, even if they knew the marriage was planned in order to retain him, they would be willing.


    Afterall, Liu Qinxin had flawless beauty and was like a goddess.


    Her talent, background, and other aspects were all perfect.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any intentions of getting married.


    He was only sixteen and wanted to solely focus on cultivation. He knew nothing about men and women.


    All of this was planned by the City Lord and was ¡®destined¡¯ because the little thieving cat had pulled off Liu Qinxin¡¯s veil.


    But in front of the City Lord, Zhao Feng agreed to everything.


    ¡°If you become the son-in-law of the Liu family, don¡¯t get too close with the Iron Blood Religion.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord warned.


    Zhao Feng soon realised that Empress Qin came from a branch Liu family.


    As she was apart of the Imperial family, to a certain degree, it was representing the relationship between the Liu family and the Imperial family.


    If the Liu family and Imperial family were close together, then the Iron Blood Religion would be on the opposite side.


    After saying goodbye to the City Lord.


    Zhao Feng returned to his place and surveyed his surroundings with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    This time, his face was filled with solemness.


    There was an expert at the True Spirit Realm now.


    Because the marriage was closing in and his relationship with the Iron Blood Religion, the Flooding Lake City had sent an expert at the True Spirit Realm to ¡®protect¡¯ Zhao Feng.


    With an True Spirit Realm expert here to keep an eye on Zhao Feng, the difficulty of his escape would increase dramatically.


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and began to circulate his cultivation.


    Since there was an expert at True Spirit Realm, there was no need to hide his strength.


    On the same night, he ¡®broke through¡¯ to the 7th Sky.


    The breakthrough this time didn¡¯t need to be consolidated since Zhao Feng was ¡®returning¡¯ to his original cultivation.


    ¡°Both cultivation and foundation are more stable than before.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Although he was at the 7th Sky previously, the him today was much stronger than than when he was at the Alliance Banquet.


    After the Alliance Banquet, Zhao Feng had entered the Origin Core Ruins and his mental energy level had exceeded half-step True Spirit Realm.


    Furthermore, the first floor of the Lightning Inheritance was now completed. All his attributes were better than before.


    The news of Zhao Feng breakthrough soon reached the City Lord¡¯s side.


    ¡°Young master has broken through and says he needs to consolidate his cultivation, hence putting off a lot of preparations for the marriage.¡±


    A servant said.


    ¡°Breaking through to a new level is good. Do your best to get rid of the minor stuff for him.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord had some admiration on his face.


    Firstly, the break through in cultivation did indeed need to be consolidated. Secondly, Zhao Feng¡¯s new cultivation was more worthy of being Liu Qinxin¡¯s husband.


    ¡°One more thing, tell him to take off the eyepatch before the marriage. A genius with an eye bloodline power is more than worthy enough of Liu Qinxin.¡±


    The City Lord said and his words were soon brought to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Good, the escape this time will need the God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes power.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly took off an eyepatch.


    After returning from the Tiegan Palace he had received a new eyepatch. It was faint silver and as thin as a blade, noble and extravagant.


    Next.


    Using the excuse of consolidating his foundation, Zhao Feng started to begin his escape.


    Although he didn¡¯t go out much, he was always planning.


    He would even send the little thieving cat out to do things he couldn¡¯t.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s size was small and specialised in hiding so it could do things very easily.


    ¡°The landscape of the City Lord¡¯s Palace and Flooding Lake City are completely familiar to me now¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    With his current cultivation, he wasn¡¯t scared of the pursuit of two to three cultivators at half-step True Spirit Realm.


    The most troublesome people were the expert that had just arrived who was at the True Spirit Realm.


    This person¡¯s name was Liu Yuan (A different person) and was rumoured to be a nephew of the City Lord. He had cultivated at Qin Sword Palace for some time and was using the name of protecting the son-in-law of the City Lord to stay.


    The day of the marriage crept closer - only 5-6 days was left.


    On this day.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s preparations were completed and was about to ¡®exit consolidation¡¯.


    The first thing Zhao Feng did wasn¡¯t to find Liu Qinxin nor greet the City Lord.


    His target was the expert at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Uncle Yuan, I just finished consolidating my cultivation and have many questions to ask about martial arts.¡±


    Zhao Feng went up to the expert at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°En.¡±


    Liu Yuan nodded his head. Being older, he didn¡¯t decline - many juniors would ask for pointers from him. Furthermore, the youth in front of him was the son-in-law of the City Lord and was the future young master of the Flooding Lake City.


    At the same time.


    Liu Yuan thought, ¡°I¡¯ll use this chance to test out this kid.¡±


    Zhao Feng was surrounded in mysterious veil and his eye bloodline power was something that even the City Lord was curious about.


    Zhao Feng first found Liu Yuan to ask about some things about cultivation then suggested to spar a bit.


    His intent was obviously to test out this expert.


    Liu Yuan could be considered a half-disciple of the Qin Sword Palace.


    The Qin Sword Palace was one of the three sects of the country and had a good relationship with the Liu family and Imperial family.


    In terms of fighting, they usually used Qins, swords, writing brushes, and flutes which all possessed an air of nobleness.


    (TLN: Qin is an instrument from ancient times.)![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/8RxyfCSxQDlzXbTNlwv_8D1pNoAdewqEeNI6ixgmn6OcPk2U08KMnlbeWZyiorqXXlmnCvAtBQh0dqmJuo0djyRFkvPlXIDsk6skNxEMdc9oiWD2VXHSMnr3c3X28rxiHdllf_ok)


    Liu Yuan¡¯s weapon was a black writing brush and when he swung, the Qi of True Spirit would produce a grand aura.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye opened and analysed Liu Yuan¡¯s way of battle.


    ¡°Noble, graceful, elegant¡­. Attack and defense are both average but his speed and agility are definitely not slow.¡±


    Zhao Feng observed.


    The strength he currently displayed was close to the usual cultivator at half-step True Spirit Realm in Canopy Great Country which was slightly stronger than the half-step True Spirit Realms in the Thirteen Countries.


    Because of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng was able exchange a few moves with Liu Yuan. Of course, Liu Yuan suppressed his strength to around 30% of his true strength. The gap between the True Spirit Realm and Ascended Realm was too big.


    After sparring for about an hour, Zhao Feng had finished testing Liu Yuan and to thank the latter, he asked to train Liu Yuan¡¯s flying pet.


    Liu Yuan wanted to decline at first but due to Zhao Feng¡¯s honesty and will to help, he agreed. He had heard of Zhao Feng¡¯s beast taming skills.


    Two hours later.


    Zhao Feng teamed up with the little thieving cat and tamed Liu Yuan¡¯s ¡°Phosphorous Coloured Swallow¡±. The pet seemed to become smart and closer with its owner.


    ¡°Thank you so much.¡±


    Liu Yuan was overjoyed but didn¡¯t know that from the beginning Zhao Feng had been planned against him and had succeeded.


    Success!


    Zhao Feng exchanged glances with the little thieving cat before returning.


    Everything was according to plan.

 272 Chaos

    The entire Flooding Lake City was filled with a joyous atmosphere due to the wedding.


    There was only three days left until the marriage of the City Lord¡¯s daughter and red silk was put on trees within the City Lord¡¯s Palace.


    At this time, not only was Zhao Feng¡¯s plan due, but the wedding arrangement had also finished.


    ¡°It¡¯s about time. The more people there is, the easier it¡¯ll be.¡±


    Zhao Feng walked out of his room.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on his shoulder and surveyed the surroundings with its obsidian eyes as it conversed with a few beasts nearby.


    The second Zhao Feng left, Liu Yuan and the four others at half-step True Spirit Realm tailed him, never leaving a hundred yard radius of him.


    Under normal circumstances, with four cultivators at half-step True Spirit Realm watching over him, it was almost impossible for Zhao Feng to escape. Furthermore, there was also Liu Yuan at True Spirit Realm.


    Zhao Feng walked to a location with many people and nodded his head: His plan was about to start.


    Once the plan began, the City Lord Palace would fall into chaos.


    Right at this moment.


    ¡°Young master, mistress is trying out her dress. The City Lord summons you.¡±


    The housekeeper of the City Lord Palace walked over with a red face.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body stiffened as he forcefully stopped his actions.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat on his shoulder seemed somewhat unsatisfied.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and thought, ¡°Oh well, I should give my future wife an explanation, or at least a letter.¡±


    The housekeeper led Zhao Feng into a bright room and several servants came to brush his hair.


    Zhao Feng was soon put in a suit which made the eyes of the maids nearby light up.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was tall and his azure hair was like pure jade, even better than silk.


    His two eyes were like stars.


    Especially his left eye, it was azure like a treasure but at the same time, it was as deep as an abyss.


    Zhao Feng was enveloped in a weird mysterious aura and after wearing the suit, he was filled with some warmth.


    Walking out of the room, Zhao Feng also saw the dressed Liu Qinxin.


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyebrows were like a drawing, her eyes like water. At this time, her veil had been taken off, revealing her peerless beauty and a calm aura revealed her elegance.


    Due to the makeup, Liu Qinxin¡¯s cheeks were slightly red, showing off the charm of a young girl.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad! Charming husband, beautiful wife!¡±


    The City Lord laughed in satisfaction.


    Liu Qinxin was perfect. Zhao Feng would find it hard to see beauties of this level.


    Because Zhao Feng¡¯s eyepatch was taken off, his eye bloodline showed off his mysterious nobleness.


    In Canopy Great Country, bloodlines weren¡¯t a legend. The Imperial and the Four families all had bloodlines; it was a sign of nobleness.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had a rare eye bloodline.


    Therefore, the Zhao Feng at this moment was cold, noble, and mysterious. He had reached the dream partner of countless girls.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had an ancient aura and would bring pressure wherever his eyes went.


    The small number of people with bloodlines who were present felt their bloodlines feel uneasy and tremble.


    This included Liu Qinxin and the Flooding Lake City Lord.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s bloodline is stronger than I expected. It¡¯s definitely comparable to the Imperial bloodline, if not stronger. Additionally, it¡¯s a unique eye bloodline.¡±


    The more the City Lord looked at Zhao Feng, the more he felt satisfied and proud of his ¡®plan¡¯.


    Thinking about how his son-in-law had a noble bloodline that had the possibility of surpassing the Imperial family, he was extremely proud.


    In Canopy Great Country, families with a bloodline would choose partners who also had bloodlines.


    The eye bloodline Zhao Feng currently possessed had no flaws that the upper echelon of the Liu family could find.


    Plus, this youth was also a rare beast tamer.


    Liu Qinxin was dressed in red and seemed like the most perfect wife. Her charming eyes spun as she inspected this future husband of hers.


    She had to admit that this youth had reached her standards for her ideal husband in every aspect.


    The key point was that he was the ¡®destined¡¯ one in her life.


    Her Master had told her that no matter how ugly and useless the destined person was, she had to accept them.


    But fortunately, this person was mysterious and held an elegant bloodline.


    Of course, if he was a bit more caring, that would be perfect.


    ¡°I would like to speak with Qin¡¯er in private.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s unusual soft voice sounded, causing Qinxin¡¯s heart who was in a daydream to shake.


    She couldn¡¯t help but think of her Master who specialized in the Dao of Life. Her Master had made her change her name and steal the future, giving her such a excellent husband.


    Thinking up to here, her eyes became softer and more caring.


    ¡°Hahaha, you two can talk. I¡¯ll leave.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord smiled and disappeared, leaving the two some ¡®personal space¡¯.


    Zhao Feng wanted the City Lord to leave because this was more beneficial for his plan.


    However, at this moment, the charming beauty whose eyes were slightly watery made his escape plan shake for the first time.


    Yet, Zhao Feng¡¯s resolve and calmness made him unsuitable for the wedding. His Master¡¯s order hadn¡¯t been completed yet.


    In the depths of his heart, Zhao Feng had another wish: to change the situation of the Thirteen Countries and reach the pinnacle of the Continent.


    Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin walked into the room side by side. They were the only two present.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s caring attitude made Liu Qinxin feel satisfied and grateful towards her Master who had passed away.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, I have a secret to tell you.¡±


    Liu Qinxin smiled mysteriously.


    ¡°Oh?¡±


    Zhao Feng looked at her and Liu Qinxin took out an old tattered bronze coin: ¡°This was an item of my Master¡¯s. She told me to give this to my future husband.¡±


    Zhao Feng took over the coin.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat had appeared and looked at the coin greedily.


    ¡°My name was originally Liu Qinxin(ÇÙì§) but to change my destiny, Master changed my name to Qinxin(ÇÙÐÄ) and told me to change my name back to the original one when I found my husband.¡±


    Liu Qinxin said sweetly.


    ¡°Liu Qinxin(ÁøÇÙì§)..... Liu Qinxin(ÁøÇÙÐÄ)....¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke these two words aloud and almost began swearing.


    ì§ and ÐÄ were all pronounced the same.


    He had originally wanted to find Liu Qinxin (ÁøÇÙÐÄ) but somehow, Liu Qinxin¡¯s master forced her to change her name to change her destiny.


    Fuck!


    Zhao Feng had the urge to explode but suddenly, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye gave off a feeling.


    Liu QInxin¡¯s Master had told her disciple to change her name, hence she had met him and became his wife. How much of a coincidence was this?


    It was the little thieving cat whose eyes twirled in thought and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but look towards it.


    The little thieving cat waved its paws towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°What? I was included in her calculations?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue.


    The little thieving cat shook its head then nodded and waved its paws again. However, perhaps it was because the content of what it was trying to say was too complex or insightful as Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t understand it.


    But one of the little thieving cat¡¯s point was expressed.


    It signalled Zhao Feng to take the coin. Only this would redeem the loss they had over the past few days.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Liu Qinxin noticed that Zhao Feng¡¯s face was slightly unusual.


    ¡°Nothing.¡±


    Zhao Feng silently took the coin pulled Liu Qinxin into his chest. What he needed to do first was stabilize her.


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s face was as red as a cherry but she didn¡¯t resist.


    ¡°Success!¡±


    Seeing Zhao Feng take the coin, the little thieving cat started to dance excitedly.


    Liu Qinxin felt somewhat embarrassed and gently pushed Zhao Feng away. The feeling the little thieving cat gave her was that it was even smarter than a fox. With an outsider present, how could she act intimate with her husband?


    ¡°Qinxin, I still haven¡¯t finished my duties in Canopy Great Country. Thus, I apologize for the inconveniences I brought to you in the past or in the future.¡±


    Zhao Feng said deeply before leaving.


    Liu Qinxin thought Zhao Feng was apologising for his previous coldness, and didn¡¯t think of it differently.


    After saying farewell to Qinxin, Zhao Feng took off his suit and walked out of his room.


    Soon.


    He arrived at the entrance of the City Lord Palace.


    This place was filled with people.


    ¡°It has begun.¡±


    Zhao Feng gave a signal to the little thieving cat.


    Instantly.


    In the depths of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, an azure abyss began to twist.


    A faint wisp of mental energy merged into the air.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and because there was a multitude of people nearby, Liu Yuan and the four at half-step True Spirit Realm didn¡¯t notice anything wrong..


    Right at this moment.


    Screech after screech, roar after roar sounded from the City Lord palace.


    The pets of the City Lord Palace had all lost control.


    This was especially so for the City Lord¡¯s Palace¡¯s Spiritual Precious Garden. Powerful flying beasts teamed up and broke through the gates.


    At this moment, flames, winds, lightning swept across the air.


    The houses nearby crumpled and smoke enveloped everything.


    These flying beasts all had terrifying strength and were usually all very obedient.


    However, at this moment, most of them had lost control.


    In just this short span of time, several flying beasts had flown out of the City Lord Palace¡¯s radius and brought the chaos into the Flooding Lake City.


    In the City Lord Palace, the servants with lower cultivation were all dazed and began to scream in horror.


    The City Lord Palace was at the center of the Flooding Lake City and was always peaceful. The sudden chaos brought horror to many people.


    The damage from these beasts was great and once all of them exited the City Lord Palace, it was hard to imagine what kind of chaos there would be.


    ¡°Quickly gather all the beast tamers to control these bastards.¡±


    The upper echelons of the City Lord Palace soon sent an order.


    In this situation, there was only the option of killing the beasts or taming them.


    The loss from the former was too large and although experts at True Spirit Realm could forcefully tame them ,the risk was too big.


    ¡°Allow me!¡±


    Zhao Feng shouted and confidently chased after a flying beast that had flown out of the City Lord Palace.


    The nearby crowd knew that he was a beast tamer, hence they purposely opened a path for him.

 273 Twenty Breaths

    Zhao Feng¡¯s identity as a beast tamer was perfect for the current situation and the people watching him weren¡¯t suspicious at all.


    ¡°You guys secure young master¡¯s safety.¡±


    Liu Yuan had to control the situation.


    No matter what, he was still part of the Liu family¡¯s upper echelon and couldn¡¯t have heard nothing of this.


    Furthermore, at this moment, the only ones that were of use were the experts at True Spirit Realm.


    Liu Yuan was sent to hold back a few crazed flying beasts while the four dark figures tailed Zhao Feng.


    ¡°The plan was more successful than I imagined¡­.¡±


    Glancing at the chaos within the City Lord Palace, a faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Because of this situation, he had a higher chance of escaping.


    The outrage of the beasts was brought upon by him and the little thieving cat.


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat had interacted them many times and using trickery as well as other tactics, they convinced them to betray their owners.


    Most of the work was done by the little thieving cat.


    ¡°Bastard, stop!¡±


    Zhao Feng lept into the air and chased after a scarlet black giant eagle. The eagle¡¯s wingspan was dozens of yards long and when flapped it''s wings, a dark red current which was hot enough to melt metal would spread.


    Under such a crazed situation, even those at half-step True Spirit Realm would find it hard to control it.


    The coming of the human and eagle brought chaos to others.


    Zhao Feng would chase it and using his beast taming skills, he made the scarlet black giant eagle to struggle.


    Doing this would lower the suspicions of the four at half-step True Spirit Realm.


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng had chased the eagle out of the of the City Wall.


    ¡°Everybody move, I¡¯m going to tame this bastard.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered.


    Having stayed in the Flooding Lake City for almost half a year, Zhao Feng¡¯s identity was obviously known, hence the guards all moved out of the way.


    At this moment.


    The giant eagle seemed to be controlled.


    ¡°Obedient, obedient¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng gradually came closer.


    In reality, the scarlet black giant eagle¡¯s actions were all under Zhao Feng¡¯s control.


    Now that Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level was even stronger than most half-step True Spirit Realm experts, controlling a beast at 7th Sky was extremely easy.


    ¡°Young master¡¯s beast taming skills are indeed skillful.¡±


    The four dark figures on the City Wall nodded their heads.


    The originally crazy bird had now become extremely obedient.


    However.


    Just as Zhao Feng came close to the target.


    The scarlet black giant eagle suddenly revealed a fierce light and screeched as it flew off.


    ¡°Young master!¡±


    The expressions of the four dark figures changed.


    ¡°Bastard! So tricky!¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed and as if his competitiveness was brought out, summoned the Azure Sharp Swallow and pursued the scarlet black eagle.


    With the Azure Sharp Swallow¡¯s speed, Zhao Feng soon caught up to his target and started to fly further away.


    Wait¡­.


    The four dark figures all talked to each other and felt something was wrong. Zhao Feng¡¯s skill was more than enough to tame a beast of the same cultivation.


    ¡°Young master, don¡¯t chase it anymore.¡±


    Young master, the City Lord said that you can¡¯t leave the Flooding Lake City.¡±


    The four dark figures shouted but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t respond to their shouts and flew further away and paid no more attention to the scarlet black eagle.


    Furthermore.


    The scarlet black giant eagle turned around and charged towards the four dark figures.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let him run!¡±


    The four figures exclaimed and exploded their Qi of half step True Spirits.


    Shua shua!


    Four grey figures flew towards Zhao Feng and turning around, the latter found that each of them had a pair of grey wings that extended from their backs which had the ability to support flying and hide. It was similar to his Yin Shadow Cloak.


    With the help of the grey wings, the speed of the four instantly rose and could chase up to the Azure Sharp Swallow in a short amount of time.


    In terms of endurance, they were definitely incomparable to the Azure Sharp Swallow. However, in terms of explosiveness, they were on the same level.


    Zhao Feng controlled the scarlet black eagle but it was instantly slashed in half when it came close to the four.


    Instantly slain!


    If it wasn¡¯t because of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t even be able to see what the dark figure had done.


    ¡°So strong! Their Qi of half step True Spirit have probably reached 50% and are all specialised in speed and tracking.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became solemn.


    In terms of strength, these four were all elites and all specialised in tracking and stealth.


    Under normal situations, it would be great if Zhao Feng could take on even two of them.


    But right now, there was four.


    The most troublesome fact was that these four attacked simultaneously from different directions.


    The problems didn¡¯t stop here.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s time was limited.


    Just by stalling him a short while, large amount of experts could arrive and even if Zhao Feng grew wings he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape.


    Soon.


    The four dark figures formed a circle and closed in on Zhao Feng.


    They didn¡¯t dare injure Zhao Feng so could only use this tactic. If it were someone else, they¡¯d be dead already.


    ¡°Young master, you should go back. This is the order from the City Lord.¡±


    The leader of the dark figures said respectively.


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly put away the Azure Sharp Swallow and landed on the ground.


    The four dark figures stood at North, East, South, West directions and didn¡¯t make any rash moves.


    Shua!


    The Yin Shadow Cloak behind Zhao Feng suddenly flapped and he disappeared.


    ¡°Invisibility!¡±


    The expressions of the four changed slightly but they didn¡¯t panic and spread their senses.


    One of them even took out a furry black dog to smell the scent in the air.


    They all specialised in stealth and hence knew how to solve the problem.


    However, no matter what technique or skill they used, they couldn¡¯t find Zhao Feng¡¯s position.


    ¡°He¡¯s definitely still surrounded by us. No matter how stealthy he is, there¡¯ll be a flaw once he moves.¡±


    The head dark figure said confidently.


    Qiu----


    Lightning flashed in the air as a figure flashed towards one of the figures.


    The expression of the dark robed person changed as a numbing sensation was sent through his body and a large palm of lightning smashed towards his shoulder.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    The leading dark robed figure didn¡¯t retreat and sent a dark grey light from his wings that clashed together with Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    Under the exchange the dark robed figure grunted slightly as a mark was left on his arm.


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. He thought the move just then could seriously injure one of them but had only lightly injured the opponent.


    The four were all experienced in every aspect.


    ¡°Young master, don¡¯t fight back.¡±


    The other two also attacked Zhao Feng.


    Daggers, wings, throwing knifes, flutes.


    Each and every one of them used different weapons.


    In reality, they specialised in these weapons and when together, they could reach incredible power.


    The flute emitted screeching mental energy sound waves, creating illusions.


    The dagger was used for close combat whereas the throwing knife for long range support.


    ¡°Young master, I encourage you to give up. Back then, even an expert at the True Human Rank was held back by us.¡±


    The throwing knife figure said confidently.


    ¡°Hehe, really? I don¡¯t believe it.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly and spat out a wave of mental energy that cause the blood of the four figures to tremble and almost made the closest person spit out blood.


    Qiu---


    At this moment, Zhao Feng wore the Yin Shadow Cloak and turned into an azure streak that flashed with lightning towards the edges.


    However.


    These dark robed figures were more troublesome than he had thought. Following this, The person with the wings flashed towards Zhao Feng.


    In terms of speed, this person was definitely the fastest and on par with Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, the throwing knife figure attacked Zhao Feng.


    The person holding the flute sent a screeching shock wave towards Zhao Feng¡¯s ear.


    ¡°Troublesome.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his head hurt.


    These four were still going easy on him or else he¡¯d be in a desperate situation already.


    ¡°Number four, you go back and report that the young master is trying to escape.¡±


    The leader with the throwing knife ordered.


    Shua!


    The figure with the flute instantly sped off towards the direction of the Flooding Lake City.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. These four were all very experienced and could tell mental energy attacks didn¡¯t affect Zhao Feng much, hence they sent that person back.


    The remaining three needed to prevent Zhao Feng from escaping.


    Zhao Feng could only escape in three directions since the last one would be returning to the Flooding Lake City.


    ¡°Smart, deadly, troublesome¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help take a deep breath.


    He had finally realised that if he didn¡¯t bring out his all, he would really be kept behind.


    With the dagger wielder, throwing knife user, and winged man here, Zhao Feng could only watch the person using the flute return to the Flooding Lake City.


    The remaining three formed a triangle and didn¡¯t ask for victory. Their aim was only to hold back Zhao Feng.


    ¡°There¡¯s only twenty breaths left for me.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye calculated.


    In ten breaths time, the flute person would be able to call for the first wave of help and in the remaining ten breaths, the experts nearby would arrive.


    Twenty breaths later, Liu Yuan who was at the True Spirit Realm would find that something was wrong and bring even more experts over.


    Furthermore, in half the time it took tea to be made, the Flooding Lake City Lord would receive the news of Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®escape¡¯.


    Hence.


    Zhao Feng would be the pursuit of the entire Flooding Lake City if he was held back.


    This meant that only twenty breaths would decide Zhao Feng¡¯s fate.

 274 Ring of Lightning

    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye analysed the situation.


    However, the three dark figures all knew this as well.


    Their one and only aim was to stall Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin, I¡¯ll defeat all of you in twenty breaths.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s azure hair blew as his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye became piercing sharp.


    Weng~


    Faint azure blood in Zhao Feng¡¯s body moved and formed a glass-like tattoo, giving off an air of elegance and mysteriousness.


    After the bloodline power was unleashed, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows turned azure and his aura rose dramatically.


    Ta!


    Zhao Feng exclaimed as he sent a mental energy wave towards the trio.


    ¡°Ancient bloodline!¡±


    The expressions of the trio changed drastically as they circulated their True Force to the maximum and sealed off their mouth, nose, and ears.


    However, even then, blood leaked from the person in front.


    Fighting three cultivators at half-step True Spirit Realm and still gaining the advantage.


    ¡°Don¡¯t hold back anymore! Use all our power to stall him!¡±


    The throwing knife dark figure waved his hands and dozens of throwing knives turned into ¡®rain¡¯ which blocked Zhao Feng¡¯s escape routes.


    At the same time.


    Both the winged man and dagger wielder¡¯s attacks became even swifter.


    The power of the trio had reached a new level.


    According to previous experience, no one under the True Spirit Realm could resist up to ten breaths under the combined attacks of the trio. When the four of them were together, even the normal experts at the True Human Rank would be stalled.


    However, the youth in front of them had bloodline power and lightning attacks which could exchange blows with the three at True Spirit Realm.


    The more the trio fought, the more stunned they were. No matter what technique they used, it was all blocked by Zhao Feng.


    With his bloodline power unleashed, Zhao Feng could crush any one of them alone.


    If it wasn¡¯t because of the fact that the trio¡¯s teamwork was perfect, it would be hard to even stall Zhao Feng for ten breaths.


    Shua ----


    Zhao Feng¡¯s movement was like lightning and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye controlled the situation perfectly, dissolving move after move then counterattacking.


    Ten breaths later.


    Burnt and bloody marks could be seen on the three figures.


    ¡°Too weird, all of our moves can¡¯t escape his eyes.¡±


    ¡°This is the eye bloodline of the young master. The three of us combined aren¡¯t even his match.¡±


    ¡°He has hidden himself so deeply. The City Lord most likely didn¡¯t even think this far.¡±


    The faces of the three were filled with dumbstruck.


    With every breath that passed, Zhao Feng¡¯s advantage would grow and suppress them.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Inheritance had completed the first level and his control and use of lightning had exceeded the limits of the Lightning Wind Palm.


    Offense, defense, movement, skill¡­. Zhao Feng¡¯s every action contained lightning.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys going to move yet?¡±


    Zhao Feng closed in with an icy expression.


    He was holding back right now since he didn¡¯t want to kill them.


    Although he wanted to escape, he didn¡¯t see the Flooding Lake City Lord nor Liu Qinxin as enemies. After all, no matter what the City Lord planned, he didn¡¯t have any ill intent towards Zhao Feng.


    Furthermore, these people only tried to stall him and not kill him.


    This meant that both sides were holding back and didn¡¯t want to harm the life of the other party.


    ¡°Young master, we admire your strength. Even if all of the ¡°Dark Wing Four Shadows¡± were here, we still wouldn¡¯t be your match.¡±


    The leading knife thrower said respectfully.


    At this point in time, he admired Zhao Feng¡¯s battle power.


    The Dark Wing Four Shadows was a group that specialised in tracking and stealth, including assassinations.


    In a short span of ten breaths they had used countless skills and usual cultivators at half-step True Spirit Realm would have been killed several times.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye seemed to be omnipotent and used lightning-quick means to break apart their teamwork.


    If Zhao Feng was really willing, he could slay at least one of them.


    ¡°Young master, we know that you¡¯ve been holding back but our duty is to stall you, even if it means our death.¡±


    The dagger wielder said with a bitter smile but his eyes were full of resolve.


    ¡°Young master, why do you force us so? The daughter of the City Lord¡¯s looks are perfect, she¡¯s talented and of noble birth¡­..¡±


    The three dark figures persuaded as they fought.


    If hard measures didn¡¯t work, they could only try soft means.


    On the other side.


    The flute user from the Dark Wing Four Shadows had flown towards the City Wall.


    On the City Wall.


    A youth in purple armour looked towards the scene and said curiously: ¡°What¡¯s going on? It looks like they¡¯re fighting. Zhao Feng and the Four Shadows?¡±


    The purple armoured youth was the person who had greeted Zhao Feng and Uncle Liu and company, ¡°Liu Yuan¡±, a genius of the younger generation.


    It was also him that had told Zhao Feng of the fight for the husband.


    After Zhao Feng had become the son-in-law of the City Lord, Liu Yuan could only be envious and jealous and sigh.


    ¡°Why would the Four Shadows attack Zhao Feng? Isn¡¯t he the son-in-law of the City Lord?¡±


    Liu Yuan thought but no matter how hard he thought, he wouldn¡¯t have thought that Zhao Feng was running away from the wedding.


    After all, it was the dream of countless men to marry a person like Liu QInxin.


    ¡°The son-in-law of the City Lord wants to run away from the wedding. You all go to help!¡±


    The flute user took out a token.


    ¡°What? Zhao Feng wants to escape the the wedding?¡±


    Liu Yuan¡¯s mouth was big enough to swallow an apple.


    ¡°What are you gaping for? I need to go report to the City Lord.¡±


    The dark figure turned into a blur as he sped off inside the Flooding Lake City.


    ¡°Quick! Quick! Go gather the elites and capture the son-in-law of the City Lord.¡±


    Only then did Liu Yuan react.


    At this moment, his emotions were extremely complex.


    He was the person that had welcomed Zhao Feng into the Flooding lake City and had recommended him to attend the fight.


    Now it was also him that was going to capture Zhao Feng.


    When Liu Yuan had gathered the elites, ten breaths had perfectly passed by.


    Ten breaths¡­. Nine breaths¡­.. Eight breaths¡­..


    ¡°The support will almost be here.¡±


    The three dark robed figures held onto Zhao Feng and circulated their Qi of True Spirit.


    ¡°It looks like a price will have to be paid.¡±


    Zhao Feng lightly sighed as he suddenly appeared in the middle of the three.


    An faint azure barrier of lightning appeared as though it were spider webs. Any attack that came close would be blasted into dust by the lightning.


    This defense was the reason why Zhao Feng faced the three at half-step True Spirit Realm with confidence.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye contracted as he suddenly threw open his arms.


    The Heaven Earth element of Lightning suddenly became chaotic.


    At this instant.


    The comprehension of the Lightning Inheritance in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind had reached a limit.


    The silence before the storm made the breathing of the three stop.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s using a strong technique!¡±


    The three felt it was hard to breath and the air seemed to contain a numbing sensation that spread out amongst their body.


    ¡°Ring of Lightning!¡±


    Zhao Feng spread his arms as arcs after arcs of lightning formed waves that spread in every direction.


    The rings of lightning extended throughout the air across a twenty yards radius and the ground near Zhao Feng¡¯s feet was instantly charred.


    ¡°Ahh!¡±


    The three dark robed figures surrounding him immediately began to shake as if they had a seizure.


    The first breath.


    The three trembled continuously.


    The second breath.


    The closest dark robed figure fell onto the ground with black feet.


    The third breath, the fourth breath¡­. The other two fell onto the ground uncontrollably.


    The ¡°Ring of Lightning¡± was a wide range attack that could numb the enemies.


    Plop! Plop! Plop!


    The three dark robed figures lay on the ground with shock and stun.


    If it wasn¡¯t because they had all used their Qi of half step True Spirit to protect their body, they¡¯d be three black human shaped piles of charcoal.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath and put his two hands down as his ring of lightning faded away.


    Using the Ring of Lightning for several breaths had expended a quarter of Zhao Feng¡¯s True Force. From this, one could see how much energy was needed to use this move.


    ¡°Young¡­ young master¡­.¡±


    The three dark robed figures couldn¡¯t even speak properly.


    At this moment, the three experts at half-step True Spirit Realm all lay on the ground with only 30% of their strength left, posing no threat to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng indifferently took out a precious True Yuan Pill to replenish his energy.


    At the same time, he also called out the Azure Sharp Swallow before preparing to leave.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­.. Don¡¯t you even think about escaping.¡±


    Liu Yuan led two head guards at half-step True Spirit Realm over first with over a hundred group behind them.


    Looking at the three dark robed figures, Liu Yuan was stunned. He had witnessed Zhao Feng¡¯s Ring of Lightning and how it had instantly caused them to lose their strength.


    ¡°Liu Yuan, you¡¯re too late.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and stepped onto the Azure Sharp Swallow. He didn¡¯t need to worry even if he surrounded by them. After all, the Dark Wings Four Shadows¡¯ power was hard to replicate.


    Zhao Feng had the confidence to slash this group into nothingness.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if you have the skills, fight me alone!¡±


    Liu Yuan roared as his battle intent surged.


    Seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had ignited his competitiveness.


    Zhao Feng escaping would obviously make the City Lord and Liu family angry. If he was to capture and beat him, maybe the person becoming the husband would be him.


    ¡°Hehe, fight you alone?¡±


    Zhao Feng stood on the Azure Sharp Swallow and glanced towards Liu Yuan as well as this group with mockery.


    ¡°Do you dare? Everyone move back twenty yards.¡±


    Liu Yuan tried to anger Zhao Feng and told the people behind to stop.


    It didn¡¯t matter whether Zhao Feng wanted to fight or not. All he needed to do right now was create a situation where even if he lost, reinforcements would arrive.


    ¡°Why not?¡±


    Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the group of hundred pursuers.


    Although a lot of his True Force had been expended, he still had mental energy and finishing off this group would be less troublesome.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ we¡¯ll fight fairly.¡±


    Liu Yuan was overjoyed and roared as he charged towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Decide the battle with one move.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t move and opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. An azure abyss seemed to twirl.

 275 Shock

    Deciding the battle in one move?


    Liu Yuan snickered coldly in his heart as his Qi of half-step True Spirit poured out like lava from his body.


    He didn¡¯t dare look down on Zhao Feng. After all, he had just witnessed Zhao Feng finish off three of the ¡°Dark Wings Four Shadows¡± in one move.


    In terms of strength, Liu Yuan surpassed any one of the four, but would feel strained facing two, and would definitely lose against three.


    However.


    Zhao Feng must be tired after such a battle.


    It was because of this that Liu Yuan was confident enough to challenge Zhao Feng.


    ¡°But¡­ defeating me in one move?¡±


    Liu Yuan¡¯s eyes was filled with coldness as the Qi of half-step True Spirit boiled and a scarlet red layer of flames enveloped his body.


    However.


    Zhao Feng still stood on the Azure Sharp Swallow and didn¡¯t move.


    ¡°He¡¯s not making a move?¡±


    Liu Yuan and the two others at half-step True Spirit Realm as well as the group behind him were somewhat confused.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was filled with coldness and mockery and his hands were behind his back - there was no intention of him making a move.


    What did he mean?


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is way too arrogant.¡±


    ¡°Liu Yuan¡¯s burning his Qi of half step True Spirit and can instantly condense all his battle power to infinitely close to True Spirit Realm. Even the Dark Wings Four Shadows don¡¯t dare face him head on.¡±


    Everyone stared at Zhao Feng.


    The latter didn¡¯t make any moves. He only casually used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to scan Liu Yuan.


    ¡°Ahhhh!¡±


    The group at the back felt as if their minds had been pulled away and that they had fallen into an abyss when they came into contact with the azure eye.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye had looked towards Liu Yuan. It was hard to imagine the pressure the latter was facing.


    Wu~~


    Liu Yuan¡¯s heart shook and his consciousness was taken away by Zhao Feng.


    Liu Yuan¡¯s body stiffened in midair as he struggled.


    One breath, two breath.


    Plop!


    Liu Yuan¡¯s body fell from the air and onto the ground, his whole body drenched in cold sweat. His face was pale white and he seems tired out.


    ¡°You¡­ you¡­.¡±


    Liu Yuan knelt on the ground with fear and shock. He seemed so tired that he could faint any time.


    The pursuers behind were stunned and the two head guards at half-step True Spirit Realm took a cold breath.


    Just one glance from Zhao Feng had instantly defeated Liu Yuan.


    Of the group, Liu Yuan was the strongest. The two head guards were slightly weaker than him.


    That youth stood on top of the Azure Sharp Swallow with his hands behind his back. His azure hair blew in the wind, mysterious and queer.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think my mental energy would rise so much.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    The dimension within his left eye had reached seven foot seven, it seemed as if he had reached a limit.


    In the centre of the abyss a faint blue light would occasionally flicker and his aura would jump when that happened.


    Ever since his comprehension at the Origin Core Ruins and the completion of the first floor from the lightning Inheritance, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level had risen and was not any weaker than normal cultivators at True Spirit Realm.


    He had just used the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to create a ¡®prison illusion¡¯ to bind and torture Liu Yuan. This didn¡¯t expend much of Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy.


    Moreover, his recovery rate was much faster than before.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood on the Azure Sharp Swallow as he ascended upwards.


    The two half-step True Spirit Realm experts and the hundred pursuers refused to give up.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng coldly swept across the head guards with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Plop Plop!


    The two half-step True Spirit Realm fell from the air, their faces filled with shock and pain. Their bodies were drenched in cold sweat. It was as if their bones were about to fall apart.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had improvised Lin Tong¡¯s Heavenly Absent Eye to make a more suitable move for the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye exceeded Lin Tong¡¯s eye bloodline in terms of talent and mental energy source.


    Zhao Feng could create an illusion prison with a thought and could immediately torture the enemies.


    The time in the mental energy world was different from reality. The blink of an eye in reality could be an hour in the mental energy world.


    Expending the enemies mental energy level to a level that they couldn¡¯t sustain their bodies anymore.


    Mental energy was the source of life.


    Even if someone¡¯s body or True Force was as strong as the heavens, they were just a bunch of bones and flesh when their mental energy consciousness was destroyed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had glanced at Liu Yuan and two other cultivators at half- step True Spirit Realm and instantly defeated them.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­.¡±


    Liu Yuan was filled with cold sweat and pain enveloped his body.


    Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back as he disappeared into the sky.


    The three dark robed figures and Liu Yuan and company could only watch Zhao Feng disappear.


    Liu Yuan was filled with complex emotions as bitterness covered his lips.


    Thinking back, he had greeted this youth into the Flooding Lake City.


    But today.


    He was the one to personally ¡®send¡¯ Zhao Feng off.


    This meant that he had witnessed the journey this youth had in the Flooding Lake City. Everything from beginning to finish.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think¡­ that he had hid so much strength¡­¡±


    ¡°Mental energy technique? He didn¡¯t use this when he fought us before.¡±


    The three numbed dark robed figures were filled with bitterness and dumbstruck.


    Of course.


    It wasn¡¯t suitable for Zhao Feng to use this tactic against them because the teamwork of the Dark Wings Four Shadows was perfect and the illusion prison Zhao Feng created needed one to concentrate. Zhao Feng had to completely concentrate in these one to two breaths.


    Although he could instantly defeat one of the them with a glance, the others had several chances to capture him.


    This was why when Liu Yuan asked for a ¡°one on one fight¡± and a ¡°fair battle¡±, Zhao Feng¡¯s face was filled with mockery.


    On the ground.


    A hundred pursuers stood on the charred ground. No one under half-step True Spirit Realm could catch up to Zhao Feng and even if they did, they couldn¡¯t block that ¡®glance¡¯ of his.


    ¡°We did our best. Only those at the True Spirit Realm can beat him.¡±


    Liu Yuan lay on the ground full of fatigue.


    Dozens of breaths later.


    Qiu----


    From the direction of the Flooding Lake City came the shrill sound of fluttering and the powerful aura of a True Spirit Realm expert appeared.


    ¡°True Spirit Realm!¡±


    Liu Yuan and company were overjoyed.


    A few breaths later.


    A scholarly dressed man holding a black writing brush landed on the ground.


    ¡°What happened? Where did Zhao Feng go?¡±


    ¡°Uncle Liu Yuan!¡±


    (TLN: This Liu Yuan is the True Spirit Realm Liu Yuan who was watching over Zhao Feng previously.)


    Liu Yuan¡¯s eyes were red and tears almost came out.


    This person at the True Spirit Realm was LiuYuan and because of his cultivation he had to go help out with the beasts.


    However, after a while he had lost Zhao Feng¡¯s figure and immediately went to find it and found the reporter from the Dark Wings Four Shadows midway.


    ¡°Dark Wings Four Shadows¡­.. And you six half-step True Spirit Realm experts of the City Guards¡­. All lost to that one person?¡±


    Liu Yuan¡¯s (True Spirit Realm) face was filled with disbelief.


    His gaze shifted to the charred ground which was still a smoking abyss. The damage done was terrifying.


    On the charred ground were the three dark robed figures that were still numb and recovering their True Force.


    Liu Yuan (True Spirit Realm) didn¡¯t find any serious injuries on them; they were just tired.


    ¡°Just him alone¡­ how is this possible?¡±


    Liu Yuan (True Spirit Realm) was slightly dazed. He couldn¡¯t believe this scene was left behind by a junior of the 7th Sky.


    If Liu Yuan (half-step True Spirit Realm) had said that this was caused by a cultivator at the True Spirit Realm he would believe it without doubt.


    In just a short twenty to thirty breaths, the Dark Wings Four Shadows, Liu Yuan, and the other pursuers had been defeated. Even cultivators at True Human Rank might not be as fast.


    This was especially so for the Dark Wings Four Shadows. Their combined strength could even stall some True Human Rank cultivators for a while.


    Such a strong formation had been destroyed by a youth.


    ¡°Which way did Zhao Feng escape in?¡±


    After knowing what had happened, Liu Yuan (True Spirit Realm) turned into a white ray of light and disappeared into the clouds.


    Those at the True Spirit Realm could fly in the air for a short amount of time at incredible speeds.


    ¡°Whatever happens next has nothing to do with us anymore.¡±


    ¡°We still need to ask City Lord to punish us.¡±


    The dark robed figures were filled with bitterness.


    As time passed more and more people arrived. There were even several instances of figures of the True Spirit Realm appearing.


    Without exception, everyone that arrived were shocked by the scene.


    ¡°A measly youth at the 7th Sky has such power?¡±


    ¡°The son-in-law of the City Lord would escape the wedding? What a joke!¡±


    After the beasts were stabilized, another wave of discussion rose in the Flooding Lake City and had soon reached the City Lord Palace.


    City Lord Palace.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord stood with his hands behind his back. In front of him was a trembling dark robed figure.


    ¡°Escape the wedding? He dares to run?¡±


    ¡°A measly junior at the 7th Sky escaped from you?¡±


    The originally calm face of the Flooding Lake City Lord was now icy.


    His chest heaved with every breath and raging fire was burning within him.


    The True Human Rank¡¯s nearby didn¡¯t even dare take a breath.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was a prodigy of the Liu family and was known for his gentleness.


    This was the first time they had seen the City Lord reach a level where his anger was uncontrollable.


    ¡°Reporting to the City Lord, Zhao Feng defeated three of the Dark Wings Four Shadows.¡±


    ¡°Reporting to the City Lord, Zhao Feng defeated Liu Yuan and company whom had all reached half-step True Spirit Realm and left on his Azure Sharp Swallow. No one could stop him.¡±


    ¡°Reporting to the City Lord, Sir Liu Yuan (True Spirit Realm) has personally gone to capture Zhao Feng.¡±


    News after news traveled into the City Lord Palace.


    Every piece of news caused the City Lord¡¯s anger to increase.


    ¡°The combined Dark Wings Four Shadows was defeated by him head on?!¡±


    ¡°Liu Yuan and company couldn¡¯t withstand a glance of his?!¡±


    The City Lord¡¯s roar sounded across the City Lord Palace.


    At this moment the clouds above the City Lord Palace seemed to tremble, as if showing the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s boundless anger.


    ¡°Send the order down to capture Zhao Feng.¡±


    An enraged voice echoed across the heavens.


    An elder of the True Mystic Rank said quietly, ¡°The only person that can catch up to Zhao Feng is Liu Yuan (True Spirit Realm).¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, as long as Liu Yuan (True Spirit Realm) can catch up, Zhao Feng won¡¯t be able to escape.


    Many put their hopes on Liu Yuan (True Spirit Realm).


    Looking at the current situation, only those at the True Spirit Realm could deal with Zhao Feng.

 276 Fighting a True Spirit Realm Exper

    The Azure Sharp Swallow flew freely in the air and Zhao Feng stood on its back.


    His eyes were closed as he faced the chaotic wind; incessantly recovering his Yuan Qi.


    As he had an ancient bloodline, Zhao Feng¡¯s recovery speed was much faster than normal people and it was soon 70-80% recovered.


    At a certain point in time, Zhao Feng opened his eyes and a faint blue light flashed from the centre of his eyes.


    ¡°Could it be that my left eye¡­ is going to undergo another change¡­ ?¡± Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    After the battle when Zhao Feng fully circulated his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, the mysterious ice cold blue aura would appear.


    His hand ran over his pure azure hair and amongst them were a few ice blue hairs.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. A small amount of his azure hair had started to turn ice blue.


    The ice blue aura in his left eye¡­ Ice blue hair appearing in his azure hair¡­


    What did this all mean?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes was filled with joy and expectation.


    Right at this moment, he heard the sound of flying behind him.


    ¡°Aura of the True Spirit Realm. Not good!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression turned solemn.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned the area behind him and found a flashing white figure chase after him.


    Liu Yuan.


    Zhao Feng instantly knew the opposer¡¯s identity.


    Before the escape, Zhao Feng had purposely interacted with him.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, come back and repent for your sins back at the City.¡±


    Liu Yuan¡¯s rightrous voice that contained the power of True Spirit appeared and scattered the birds nearby.


    Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. He didn¡¯t reply.


    Liu Yuan started to get angry. How arrogant was Zhao Feng? Not even putting the pursuit of a True Spirit Realm in his eyes.


    ¡°Does he really think he had deal with a True Spirit Realm?¡±


    Liu Yuan thought about Zhao Feng¡¯s past battle experience and didn¡¯t look down on him anymore.


    However, Liu Yuan didn¡¯t believe that a junior that hadn¡¯t even reached the half step True Spirit Realm could really deal with a true True Spirit Realm warrior.


    ¡°Normal cultivators at the True Human Rank can probably last up to ten to twenty miles. After going past this limit for a mile or two, they¡¯ll find it tiring.¡±


    Zhao Feng was calm. This was the air, not the ground.


    Although cultivators at the True Spirit Realm had exceeded normal living beings and could fly¡­ they weren¡¯t birds and didn¡¯t specialise in flying.


    Therefore, the proficient ness of a True Human Rank flying was shorter than normal flying creatures.


    However, the explosiveness of a True Human Rank was not to be looked down upon.


    ¡°This Liu Yuan is still ten to twenty miles away from me. Once he catches up, he¡¯ll be at his limit.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s calculation was very precise.


    Normal cultivators at the Ascended Realm would have already panicked and fallen into despair if someone at the True Spirit Realm was pursuing them.


    However, Zhao Feng was calm and controlled the entire situation.


    Even if Zhao Feng had his full strength available, his chances didn¡¯t exceed 30%.


    Liu Yuan wasn¡¯t a retard and didn¡¯t continue to exhaust his Qi of True Spirit. He took out his ¡®Phosphorous coloured Swallow¡¯.


    This Phosphorous Coloured Swallow was around the same size as the Azure Sharp Swallow and its cultivation had reached the half step True Spirit Realm.


    Under full speed, it was even a bit faster than the Azure Sharp Swallow.


    As the gap between the two were getting closer, Liu Yuan smiled: ¡°Zhao Feng, you have no hope anymore. Just give up.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do anything and watched Liu Yuan close in on him.


    The aura of the True Spirit Realm made the Azure Sharp Swallow below him tremble.


    Soon, Liu Yuan was within ten miles of Zhao Feng and his smile became more and more confident.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng whistled and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye gave off a weird whisp.


    The next instant, the Phosphorous Coloured Swallow screeched and amongst flashing lights, it turned into a wind that rampaged around.


    ¡°Phosphorous Coloured Swallow, what happened¡­ ?¡±


    Liu Yuan was caught off guard.


    The second that the Phosphorous Coloured Swallow touched him, it attacked chaotically and even left some light injuries on him.


    Next, the Phosphorous Coloured Swallow lost its mind and slammed into a mountain below, shattering its bones.


    ¡°Swallow----¡±


    Liu Yuan was full of grief and locked onto Zhao Feng with poisonous eyes: ¡°Shameless junior, how dare you trick my pet¡­ ?¡±


    He suddenly remembered how Zhao Feng had suggested to help tame his beast. At that time, Liu Yuan didn¡¯t have any suspicions. After all, it became smarter and more obedient.


    Furthermore, no one would have ever thought that Zhao Feng would escape and betray the Flooding Lake City Lord.


    ¡°After losing your steed, how are you going to pursue me?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    His planning was precise and every possibility was thought of.


    This was especially so for Liu Yuan - he was the most likely expert at the True Spirit Realm that Zhao Feng was going to encounter. Once he was caught up to him, Zhao Feng¡¯s plan would fail.


    ¡°Ten miles to catch you¡­ that¡¯s more than enough!¡±


    Liu Yuan lightly exclaimed and a bright white light shone from his body.


    Normal cultivators at the True Spirit Realm could last from ten to twenty miles and in this time, Liu Yuan¡¯s speed was faster than the Azure Sharp Swallow¡¯s. But as time passed, his speed would gradually slow down.


    As Liu Yuan was about to get closer into a several mile radius...


    ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ll wait for it.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly and the Luohou Bow appeared in his hand.


    In terms of ranged attacks, those at the True Spirit Realm couldn¡¯t even compare to bows.


    Zhao Feng circulated his True Force and bloodline power, causing an arc of lightning to surround his Luohou Bow and a layer of ice to envelope Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Sharp wisps of lightning appeared on the tip of the Luohou Arrows and whirlwinds formed on the other ends.


    Beng~~ Sou- Sou- Sou--


    Three arrows filled with coldness and lightning flashed through the air with incredible agility, easily travelling several miles.


    Liu Yuan only felt the humming of lightning and coldness coming from in front of him.


    Although he was extremely agile and fast in the air, he couldn¡¯t evade the three Luohou Arrows that had exceeded the speed of sound.


    After the refinement, the Luohou Bow¡¯s level had reached the Peak level Mortal grade and with the Luohou Arrows, it had definitely reached the limit of Mortal grade weapons.


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline and merged his Lightning Inheritance comprehension into every arrow. Each Luohou Arrow had the capability to slay a cultivator at the 7th Sky and even normal cultivators at the half step True Spirit Realm.


    Even someone as strong as Liu Yuan felt some threat from the arrows.


    He lightly drew a breath and took out a black writing blush. With a strong wave, a flash of white light twenty yards long spread out.


    Liu Yuan¡¯s rushed attack was even stronger than Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®Ring of Lightning¡¯.


    Ding- Ta Peng~~


    The Luohou Arrow clashed with Liu Yuan¡¯s attack and a terrifying coldness and ball of lightning exploded.


    Liu Yuan could easily deal with the Luohou Bow attacks, but the terrifying part was the elements of ice and lightning.


    Every time he dealt with it, his speed would slow down.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s Luohou Arrows would flash back to their owner instantly.


    Arrow after arrow pierced through to air towards Liu Yuan.


    Not only did Liu Yuan need to fly, he still had to face the troublesome archery skills that slowed him down.


    In just ten breaths, Liu Yuan was ruffled and filled with shock and rage.


    If it was on the ground, he would have rushed up already and easily finished off three to five half step True Spirit Realm¡¯s in an instant.


    However, this was in the domain of the sky, a battle in the sky.


    Zhao Feng stood on top of the Azure Sharp Swallow and he didn¡¯t need to expend True Force to fly, so from the beginning, he held the advantage.


    ¡°Junior, don¡¯t let me catch you¡­ ¡±


    Liu Yuan furiously circulated his Qi of True Spirit and almost started to burn it. Back then, First Elder of the Broken Moon Clan had burnt his Qi of True Spirit to slay an expert at the True Spirit Realm from the Iron Dragon Country and gave the Broken Moon Clan time to escape.


    Although Liu Yuan was furious right now, he wasn¡¯t in a life or death situation so he didn¡¯t really dare to burn his Qi of True Spirit.


    Once the Qi of True Spirit was burned, it would harm his foundation and there was the possibility in a drop in cultivation or no chance of reaching a step further.


    Coming limitlessly close to burning his Qi of True Spirit, Liu Yuan¡¯s speed once again rose.


    Zhao Feng shot out three arrows lightning quick and these were taken head on by Liu Yuan, giving the latter some small injury as he closed in.


    ¡°Two miles left.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a solemn expression as he took a deep breath and shouted, sending a wave of mental energy.


    He obviously didn¡¯t expect to deal Liu Yuan with this.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was suddenly opened to the maximum. The azure left eye seemed to contain an abyss that kept on extending.


    Liu Yuan¡¯s heart shook and his consciousness struggled.


    Wu~~


    Zhao Feng felt extremely troublesome as he continued to create mental illusions to try and pull Liu Yuan¡¯s mental energy consciousness inside. This was several times harder than those at the half step True Spirit Realm.


    At this point in time, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had reached a level that it had never reached before.


    Weng~~~


    The azure abyss suddenly gave off a faint blue light and the power of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye went up by another half level.


    Shua!


    Liu Yuan had a feeling that the dimensions changed and he was in a prison filled with lightning. Beneath his feet with unfathomable abyss and above his head was clouds of lightning.


    ¡°This place is¡­ ¡±


    Liu Yuan was stunned. He had fallen into the opponent¡¯s mental energy.


    Inside Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s dimension, Liu Yuan¡¯s consciousness would face limitless torture.


    However, Zhao Feng was already super lucky to pull his opponent¡¯s consciousness into the mental illusion. The mental energy needed to sustain this dimension was more than tens times needed to sustain a normal cultivator at the 7th Sky.


    The resistance of a True Spirit Realm was like an ocean.


    A breath later.


    Cold sweat had appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s head and he was feeling weak. At the same instance, Liu Yuan broke out of the mental illusion prison with humiliation, rage, weakness written on his face.


    An almighty expert at the True Spirit Realm had been tortured by Zhao Feng for two hours.


    It was impossible to express this humiliation.

 277 New True Lord Rank

    In the air, Zhao Feng stood on top of the Azure Sharp Swallow. The colour azure abyss in his left eye had dimmed.


    Creating the mental illusion prisons with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had taxed him greatly and the mental energy expended was several times than when he used it against those at the half step True Spirit Realm.


    Although Zhao Feng had a large source of mental energy, he still felt tired.


    The key point was that he had tortured Liu Yuan in the mental energy dimension for a whole two hours and didn¡¯t even weaken the enemy to their limit.


    The aura of the True Spirit Realm flowed in the air, but it wasn¡¯t as strong as before.


    The Qi of True Spirit surrounding Liu Yuan had fallen. In the breath just then, his body had fallen down, creating a bigger gap between them.


    Liu Yuan¡¯s mental energy consciousness was weakened and he was exhausted. Right now, he only had 70% of his full strength remaining.


    Adding on the distance between them had become greater and that he had almost burned his Qi of True Spirit, he didn¡¯t have much energy left.


    Liu Yuan and Zhao Feng looked at each other as the distance between them widened.


    In a long battle, the difference in having a steed was extremely obvious.


    Only those at the True Lord Rank could fight in the air for a long time.


    ¡°Shameless brat¡­ ¡±


    Liu Yuan grinded his teeth and had a poisonous look but in his eyes, there was helplessness.


    Ever since the day at the City Lord Palace Zhao Feng had calculated him for today.


    At this moment, he could only stare at Zhao Feng who eventually turned into a black dot that disappeared.


    Liu Yuan was weak and helpless. His chest burned with anger. A cultivator at the True Spirit Realm had chased after a junior at the 7th Sky and had failed.


    If Liu Yuan hadn¡¯t caught up, it wouldn¡¯t matter so much. However, he had caught up to Zhao Feng and had exchanged moved but the person who was at a disadvantage was him.


    Zhao Feng sat on the Azure Sharp Swallow and widened the gap to a hundred miles before scanning his surroundings with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Sure that no one was following him, Zhao Feng put away the Azure Sharp Swallow then used his Yin Shadow CLoak to disappear into the woods.


    As long as those at the True Spirit Realm didn¡¯t know his exact position, it would be hard to find him.


    Zhao Feng could use the power of the Yin Shadow Cloak to truly conceal himself.


    It was because of this reason that Zhao Feng had chose to fight Liu Yuan and not use the Yin Shadow Cloak to hide first.


    Because he didn¡¯t have a steed and had flown a long way, Liu Yuan had expended a lot of energy and he slowly landed on the ground.


    In half the time it takes for tea to be made.


    Sou----


    An aura of the True Spirit Realm appeared from behind. The newcomer was a person armoured in black whose aura was at the True Human Rank and even stronger than Liu Yuan¡¯s.


    The latter knew this person. He was the defense leader of the Flooding Lake City.


    At this moment when Liu Yuan faced someone of the same generation and cultivation, he had guilt and defeat written on his face. He didn¡¯t even know how to start.


    The black armoured leader scanned Liu Yuan below with a somewhat stunned expression.


    The latter looked extremely weak and had tattered clothes. There were even burn marks on his face.


    ¡°Brother Liu, where did that brat run to? Did you meet other experts at the True Spirit Realm?¡±


    The black armoured leader had a solemn expression.


    Under this situation, only another cultivator at the True Spirit Realm could cause this.


    He understood Liu Yuan¡¯s strength - he had cultivated in the Qin Sword Palace and specialised in movement. He could even deal with two normal True Human Rank¡¯s in a short amount of time.


    This question caused Liu Yuan¡¯s face to go red and he spoke with bitterness and guilt: ¡°There¡¯s no other True Spirit Realm cultivators here. That brat ran away.¡±


    How was this possible?


    The black armoured leaders eyes were wide open, as if he didn¡¯t believe this result.


    Sou-- Sou-- Sou--


    RIght at this moment, several sounds of flying appeared. Some of the faster flying steeds had arrived.


    The first group that came were almost all at the half step True Spirit Realm and the 7th Sky. There was also another person at the True Spirit Realm.


    They were extremely surprised when they saw Liu Yuan¡¯s souless and ruffled figure.


    ¡°Zhao Feng went in that direction, but it¡¯s hard to say which direction he¡¯ll go in.¡±


    Liu Yuan didn¡¯t seem to want to talk about the specifics and only pointed out which way Zhao Feng ran.


    In reality, Liu Yuan didn¡¯t have much hope to catch Zhao Feng anymore. The Canopy Great Country was massive. Just the Flooding Lake area was the size of the Cloud Country.


    No matter how dumb Zhao Feng was, he wouldn¡¯t run on a straight course and never change directions.


    Flooding Lake City, City Lord Palace.


    News regarding Zhao Feng traveled to the City Lord.


    ¡°Those at the half step True Spirit Realm and 7th Sky pursuing Zhao Feng number over a hundred, and others at different cultivation levels number over a thousand.. A total of five at the True Spirit Realm are also chasing him¡­ ¡± A City guard leader said.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care what methods you use, I just want the results.¡±


    The City Lord¡¯s voice was cold and commanding.


    The anger that he had pent up today surpassed the past decade and destroyed his scholarly image.


    The almost guaranteed son-in-law had caused chaos in the Flooding lake City and countless experts were sent out, but they still weren¡¯t be able to catch the target.


    Not only that, everyone that caught up to Zhao Feng had been defeated.


    ¡°Liu Yuan¡¯s the first True Spirit Realm person to catch up to Zhao Feng. Success will depend on him.¡± An elder of the True Mystic Rank next to the City Lord said. His age and position was very high.


    The nearby people also nodded their heads. If Liu Yuan was the fastest True Human Rank cultivator failed to catch up to Zhao Feng, then no matter what other methods they had, it would be hard to catch Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Although Liu Yuan¡¯s performance after returning from the Qin Sword Palace isn¡¯t outstanding, he hasn¡¯t disappointed me.¡± The City Lord faintly nodded his head.


    The person with the greatest hope right now was Liu Yuan.


    Shua!


    A ghostly figure flashed in front of the Flooding Lake City Lord.


    ¡°Reporting to the City Lord, Liu Yuan failed to capture Zhao Feng.¡± The figure said.


    Failed.


    The hearts of the City Lord and company shook and an aura of the True Spirit Realm rose.


    ¡°How can Liu Yuan not catch up to Zhao Feng with his speed?¡±


    The expression of the elder at the True Mystic Rank changed slightly.


    ¡°According to the news Liu Yuan did catch up to Zhao Feng, but¡­ ¡± The figure told the tale.


    Knowing what had happened, the people present were stunned.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­ Unless there¡¯s the interference of other True Spirit Realm cultivator.¡±


    Everyone shook their head in disbelief, but right at this moment, a voice sounded: ¡°Liu Yuan is here to apologise for his misdeed.¡±


    A rumpled figure flew over.


    Liu Yuan.


    Everyone started asking questions when they saw him.


    Liu Yuan¡¯s face was filled with guilt and bitterness as he spoke of what had happened.


    Knowing that Zhao Feng had already started making his plans from several days ago to calculate Liu Yuan¡¯s flying steed, everyone felt a cold chill.


    The youth¡¯s planning and calculations were terrifying.


    They all couldn''t help but take in cold breaths when they heard of the battle.


    ¡°It looks like we still underestimated the kid¡¯s eye bloodline power. Even normal True Human Rank¡¯s aren¡¯t able to fully resist his mental energy skills.¡±


    The True Mystic Realm elder had a solemn expression.


    ¡°Zhao Feng. That Zhao Feng ran away from the eyelids of countless experts of my Flooding Lake City.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s anger had reached a limit.


    The peak of the True Mystic Rank filled the air and caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby to boil.


    The entire Flooding Lake City seemed to be enveloped in a dim cloud.


    Everyone felt as if they couldn¡¯t breathe. Even the existences at the True Spirit Realm felt their hearts shake.


    Only the elder at the True Mystic Realm dared to talk: ¡°Jiutian, don¡¯t be angered so much. You¡¯re the person with the most potential in the Flooding Lake Liu family and have reached the limit of the True Mystic Rank in under a hundred years. You¡¯ve also cultivated the Mystic Flaming Heavenly Burning Manual to the peak eighth level. As long as you walk half a step further, you can push the Flooding Lake Liu family to a new era,¡±


    ¡°Yes, Sixth Uncle.¡± The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s calmed down a bit.


    However, just at this point in time.


    ¡°Reporting to the City Lord, young mistress has disappeared. She¡¯s not found anymore in the City Lord Palace.¡±


    This news made everyone¡¯s heart shake and curse in their hearts once again.


    The Flooding Lake City¡¯s attention was solely focused on Zhao Feng right now. No one expected Liu Qinxin to disappear right now.


    ¡°Apparently, the direction of where young mistress is heading is similar to Zhao Feng¡¯s.¡±


    It didn¡¯t need to be asked.


    Liu Qinxin was pursuing her future husband.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ Zhao Feng¡­ you¡¯re destroying the name of the Flooding Lake Liu family.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s slightly calmed down anger exploded once again.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi instantly started to jump.


    The clouds had even turned a faint red color and the entire City Lord Palace seemed to be enveloped in lava.


    The nearby True Human Ranked cultivators as well as Liu Yuan and company couldn¡¯t even stand steadily.


    Boom~~


    The air seemed to have turned scarlet red.


    The enraged Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s bloodline and True Spirit Realm power reached a momentarily burning state as his eyes turned a silvery red.


    The silver red eyes seemed to contain a red flame to shot into the sky.


    The Qi of True Spirit of the City Lord reached another level and the other True Spirit Realm cultivators present had an urge to bow down.


    At this moment, the Flooding lake City Lord seemed to stand at the top of the clouds, surveying the earth below.


    ¡°Great!! True Lord Rank!!¡±


    ¡°Our Flooding Lake Liu family have finally produced a True lord Rank cultivator.¡± The elder of the True Mystic Rank couldn¡¯t help but cry as he felt the City Lord¡¯s aura.


    ¡°Congratulations on the City Lord to breaking through to the True Lord Rank.¡±


    ¡°True Lord Ranks command a side and now the Flooding Lake Liu family will become a powerful family that even the Imperial Family, Three Sects and Four families will have to be wary of¡­ ¡±


    The experts inside the City Lord Palace were extremely excited.


    The moment one ascended to the True Lord Rank, the True Spirit Realm cultivators in a several thousand mile radius felt something.


    ¡°Another person has broken through to the True Lord Rank in the Canopy Great Country.¡±


    Every True Lord Rank could change the country''s situation.


    Three thousand miles away.


    A bloody dragon, sword and blade symboled sedan was floating midair, carried by four True Human Rank¡¯s.


    ¡°Another True Lord Rank.. the Liu family¡¯s luck is just too good¡­ ¡±


    The blood hair coloured Tiemo sighed slightly and closed his eyes.

 278 Be

    In a wild forest...


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s faint figure appeared.


    ¡°This aura¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face froze as his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye sensed an aura.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡­


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. Right now, he was at least a thousand miles away from the Flooding Lake City, but he was still able to catch a wisp of the City Lord¡¯s aura.


    This aura was merged with the Heaven Earth Fire Yuan Qi.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he thought of a terrifying possibility.


    Obviously, the City Lord had either broken through to the True Lord Rank or he was already at the True Lord Rank and had hidden his cultivation level before.


    This result was obviously horrible for Zhao Feng.


    He knew clearly how much power a True Lord had.


    Of the eight strongest forces in the Great Country, everyone of them had at least one True Lord cultivator because no matter how many cultivators at the Ascended Realm and normal True Spirit Realm there were, it wasn¡¯t enough to dominate.


    According to the ancient records, a faction must have a True Lord Rank cultivator to reach the half-star mark.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know whether or not the Flooding Lake Liu family was comparable to a half - star faction, he was sure that the Thirteen Clans definitely weren¡¯t.


    All in all, the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s power and fame would have risen and this created a large resistance towards Zhao Feng¡¯s escape.


    ¡°That Flooding Lake City Lord is extremely calculating and may use his True lord cultivation level to try and find me. Although the Canopy Great Country is enormous and the forces are complex, his power can still affect anything near the Flooding Lake Area.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    With the current situation, he must leave the Flooding Lake Area.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng continued down the trees and used the Yin Shadow Cloak to conceal himself as he traveled towards the Capital of the Canopy Great Country.


    The Capital was one of the most populated cities of the Country and having stayed in Flooding Lake City for half a year, he obviously had a map of the Canopy Great Country copied into his mind.


    Zhao Feng would occasionally open his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and scan the landscape and compare it to the map in his mind.


    In the blink of an eye, several days had passed by.


    Zhao Feng tried to use the Azure Sharp Swallow as less as possible, because it would be too eye-catching in the sky.


    The Canopy Great Country was incomparable to the Thirteen Countries. Here, martial arts was practised everywhere and flying steeds would fly by occasionally.


    On this day, Zhao Feng landed in front of a small pond.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? My eye¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye felt tired and would feel more so when he used it.


    The weird thing was that Zhao Feng found that his mental energy source was full.


    Even when Zhao Feng had fought Liu Yuan a couple days ago, it wasn¡¯t this obvious.


    The pond was extremely calm and it was like a mirror.


    Zhao Feng stood in front of the pond and looked at his hair.


    Soon, Zhao Feng found that around one tenth of his azure hair had turned faint ice blue.


    The colour of his hair had been changing the past few days.


    Furthermore, the azure eye would occasionally flicker with a cold, icy aura.


    Every time that aura came forth, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s power would rise for a short amount of time.


    It was because of this that Zhao Feng was able to pull Liu Yuan¡¯s mental energy consciousness into an illusion or else all he could do was run.


    However, right now, even when Zhao Feng used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye normally, he would feel tired.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly appeared on his shoulder and took out two coins which he waved towards Zhao Feng.


    One of these coins came from the Floating Crest palace, whereas the other came from Liu Qinxin.


    The Floating Crest Palace coin was newer, whereas Liu Qinxin¡¯s one was slightly rusty.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying that someone¡¯s caught up?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression froze.


    The little thieving cat nodded its head and threw the two coins into the air with ¡®Dings¡¯.


    Was it a blessing or danger?


    Zhao Feng cursed in his heart. The route that he had taken was extremely concealed. How could someone have caught up?


    The little thieving cat seemed to sense something as one of the coin¡¯s went ¡®Weng~¡¯ and in the next instant, it hid inside the Spiritual Pet Bag.


    Sou----


    The sound of flying appeared and with it came a powerful aura of the half step True Spirit Realm.


    This aura was very familiar.


    Not good!


    Zhao Feng used his Yin Shadow Cloak and hid at the edges of the pond.


    A few breaths later, a figure in white like an angel from a painting landed.


    The person was Liu Qinxin. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know if it was a coincidence or not, but Liu QInxin landed right next to him and sighed as she looked at the pond.


    Her eyes were even clearer than the pond and were calm.


    ¡°How did you catch up?¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed himself. He obviously didn¡¯t think that Liu Qinxin would land right next to him by coincidence.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s EQ was low, it didn¡¯t mean that his IQ was.


    Liu Qinxin seemed to have some resentment, but she didn¡¯t show any anger or rage.


    ¡°My Master left me two things before she died and told me me that it can decide my future and marriage.¡±


    She smiled mockingly and revealed another tattered old coin.


    This old coin was extremely similar to the one the little thieving cat had.


    No wonder, the only problem that Zhao Feng could think of was the coin that the little thieving cat had taken.


    With the little thieving cat¡¯s attitude, the things that it had taken wouldn¡¯t be given back.


    This resulted in Zhao Feng almost being in danger. If Liu Qinxin didn¡¯t come alone and brought a few experts of the True Spirit Realm with her¡­


    When Zhao Feng thought up to here, he sweated coldly and looked back with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye but didn¡¯t find any signs of others.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll solve the stuff between us.¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s clear eyes surveyed the youth in front of her.


    They had almost become husband and wife before.


    ¡°Solve? How?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt slightly uneasy and guilty from being looked at.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you a story before we solve our problem.¡± Liu Qinxin smiled.


    At this moment, her beauty made Zhao Feng slightly dazed.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wash my face and listen.¡±


    It was only till now that Zhao Feng found that he didn¡¯t know much about his fiance.


    ¡°A long time ago, an expert took in three women disciples and let the three all choose an inheritance. Although the three were all talented, they could only comprehend one of the inheritances¡­ ¡± Liu Qinxin spoke.


    Zhao Feng listened quietly and felt extremely calm.


    ¡°The first disciple was extremely smart and chose the Dao of Life, the second disciple was a beauty who chose the Dao of Charm and the third disciple didn¡¯t like to fight so she chose the Dao of Entertainment.¡±


    Liu Qinxin faintly smiled when she spoke up to here.


    ¡°It looks like you received the inheritance of the first disciple.¡±


    Zhao Feng was very interested in the story. Liu Qinxin¡¯s Master was indeed not simple - she had made Liu Qinxin change her destiny and from the little thieving cat¡¯s point of view, had almost schemed against him


    ¡°The first disciple is my Master who had passed away. The third disciple is my Mother who was schemed against and killed by the second disciple.¡± Liu Qinxin said.


    Zhao Feng paused. The first and third disciple had died, leaving behind only the second disciple who specialised in the Dao of Charm.


    Did this mean that the disciple that chose the Dao of Charm was more suitable for survival?


    ¡°The story¡¯s finished. Let¡¯s solve the problem between us now.¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes focused on Zhao Feng and she started to smile.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s hairs crept up.


    Did this mean that Liu Qinxin still wanted to force the marriage?


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not here to force the marriage.¡±


    Liu Qinxin sighed: ¡°The thing is that your escape leaves behind a great humiliation for the Flooding lake Liu family.¡±


    Zhao Feng stayed silent and thought; ¡®if it wasn¡¯t because of your father, would there be this result?¡¯


    ¡°Also, my name and reputation is now tarnished because of your escape¡­ ¡±


    Hearing up to here, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook slightly. His plan was all from his point of view.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions were the same as saying that he didn¡¯t want this girl.


    ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    At this moment, he was full of guilt and wanted to repay her somehow.


    ¡°One, go back to the Flooding Lake City and ask for a punishment from my father and the Liu family. From then on, the two of us won¡¯t have any relationship.¡± Liu Qinxin said calmly.


    ¡°And the second choice?¡±


    Zhao Feng thought that if he was to go back, he¡¯d be beaten into a pulp.


    Who could take on the rage of the City Lord, who was now at the True Lord Rank?


    ¡°Two, go back and continue our marriage.¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s face went slightly red.


    Zhao Feng almost fainted. She had said that she wasn¡¯t going to force the marriage but this was it, wasn¡¯t it?


    ¡°What¡¯s your decision?¡±


    Liu Qinxin asked.


    ¡°I¡­ I choose to¡­ Keep on running¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words took a return. If he was to return, he¡¯d be either beaten into a pulp or forced into the marriage.


    The first decision was possible, but only when he was strong enough not to be scared of them.


    ¡°You¡­ Being an adult, how can you¡­ ¡±


    ¡°I what?¡±


    Zhao Feng EQ was just too low.


    ¡°Be so irresponsible¡­ ¡±


    Liu Qinxin bit her lips.


    ¡°Adult? I¡¯m still underage.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s high IQ was displayed.


    ¡°You¡­ ¡±


    Liu Qinxin stopped speaking.


    ¡°How about we have a bet?¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes turned.


    ¡°Continue.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t scared at all.


    ¡°We¡¯ll spar right now. If you win you can throw away all the responsibilities. But if you lose, you must choose one of the two.¡± Liu Qinxin said somewhat resentfully.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ If I lose, I¡¯ll go back and marry you straight away.¡± Zhao Feng started to laugh with confidence.


    Although Liu Qinxin¡¯s strength surpassed normal half step True Spirit Realm¡¯s by far and had a bloodline power, Zhao Feng had succeeded in escaping from a True Spirit Realm expert.


    ¡°Really?¡±


    Liu Qinxin smiled and pressed her hands on her dantian as a seal was broken.


    Instantly, her Qi of half step True Spirit Realm turned into real ¡®Qi of True Spirit¡¯.


    ¡°Qi of True Spirit¡­ You¡­ you had sealed your cultivation.¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned. The aura from the True Spirit Realm made him almost unable to breath.

 279 Sleep 1

    When Liu Qinxin revealed her hidden card, Zhao Feng¡¯s confidence instantly disappeared. It was as if he had fallen from the clouds into hell.


    ¡°True Spirit Realm. Her real cultivation is at the True Spirit Realm and her strength is probably even stronger than Liu Yuan¡¯s with her bloodline power¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind spun.


    When he had met Liu Qinxin the first time and scanned her with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, it had been stopped by a mysterious power which stopped him from seeing through the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and Liu Qinxin had sensed it.


    At that time, Liu Qinxin¡¯s Spiritual Sense was already not any weaker than a normal True Spirit Realm¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng had originally thought that Liu Qinxin¡¯s bloodline was extremely special and her cultivation was close to the True Spirit Realm. Delving deeper with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye would definitely be sensed by Liu Qinxin.


    As her true cultivation was revealed, everything could be understood.


    ¡°Feng, according to the bet, you have no chances of winning.¡±


    Zhao Feng had used all his means available to escape from Liu Yuan¡¯s pursuit.


    It was already incredible for a cultivator at the 7th Sky to do this, but if Zhao Feng was to fight Liu Yuan, the chances of winning were low.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng needed to fight Liu Qinxin head on and not run away.


    Liu Qinxin was the disciple of the women who specialised in the ¡®Dao of Life¡¯ and she had a bloodline power, making her more difficult to deal with than Liu Yuan.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God''s Spiritual Eye analysed the chances of winning and it came out with less than 30%.


    ¡°Of course, you can go back on the bet, I won¡¯t force you.¡±


    Liu QInxin calmly faced Zhao Feng. If the latter went back on his word and ran away, it would disappoint her. No matter how excellent people like this were, they had no right to be her husband.


    Zhao Feng stood still and his expression became composed once again.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t admit defeat.¡±


    Zhao Feng turned around and looked straight at Liu Qinxin.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng could even smell the scent of Liu Qinxin.


    The four eyes locked together.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was opened. The reason why he had close to a 30% chance of winning was because of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    In the depths of the abyss inside his azure left, an occasional flicker of ice blue would appear.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level was a bit inferior to normal True Spirit Realm cultivator¡¯s, but when that blue aura would appear, it was comparable to normal True Human Rank cultivator¡¯s.


    Liu Qinxin didn¡¯t make any moves and she stared into Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Although they were extremely close to one another, the speed of mental energy attacks was still faster than physical attacks.


    Shua!


    An icy blue aura appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and instantly, the power of his eye rose.


    A wisp of mental energy power extended as Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye became luring.


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s heart trembled as her consciousness tried to block it. At the critical point, she steeled her will and opened her bloodline power.


    A silver glow appeared on her alluring figure. She seemed like a goddess under the moon.


    The cultivation of the True Spirit Realm and the power of a mysterious bloodline intensified the pressure on Zhao Feng.


    Only when cold sweat appeared on his forehead did Zhao Feng give up.


    ¡°It¡¯s pointless, the gap in cultivation is unbreachable.¡± Liu Qinxin sighed.


    Zhao Feng shook his head bitterly as his usual cold expression suddenly became warm.


    ¡°Qinxin, did you know that my heart moved the first time I saw you?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye became full of depth and unusual warmth.


    He was full of emotion as he looked at the girl in front of him.


    ¡°Then why did you¡­ ¡±


    Liu QInxin paused, she didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng would suddenly confess to her. Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye used a weird way to pass through the gaps of motions.


    Liu QInxin didn¡¯t realise that her eyes had started to turn red and watery.


    ¡°Qinxin, I know I¡¯m wrong, I¡¯ve decided to marry you.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s emotional eyes that seemed to be able to melt ice slowly eroded her senses.


    Bit by bit, Zhao Feng slowly approached Liu Qinxin and gently touched her shoulder.


    ¡°Feng, do you know? When I found out that you had ran away, I felt extremely cold. At that time I just wanted to find you and ask why¡­ ¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s watery eyes were filled with joy. She had fallen into Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy skill and fell onto Zhao Feng¡¯s chest.


    ¡°So easy?¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly dazed - the situation was far smoother than what he had imagined.


    Before, he had used all his power and couldn¡¯t pull away her consciousness. But right now, he had used a simple mental energy illlusion to succeed.


    At this instant, Liu Qinxin had fallen to Zhao Feng and her emotions could be controlled by the latter.


    ¡°So the flaw in her heart is me. That¡¯s why I could have unimaginable success.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s emotions were complex and he didn¡¯t know what he felt. He once again hugged the beauty whose smell and soft body almost made him fly.


    You lost¡­


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy technique suddenly stopped and one of his hands was put on Liu Qinxin¡¯s neck.


    Liu Qinxin awoke from the dream and found that she was hugging the opposing party tightly and her face turned red hot.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s hand was put on her neck, there was no pressure - as if he knew how to treat her.


    ¡°You¡­ ¡±


    Liu Qinxin felt humiliated. Although she had a hidden card, this youth had walked into her heart step by step and then ran away from the marriage, leaving behind a flaw in her heart.


    Zhao Feng slowly put down his hand as Liu Qinxin¡¯s skin turned bright red.


    ¡°I lost.¡±


    Liu Qinxin calmed herself down as a bitter smile appeared on her lips. She looked deeply at Zhao Feng once more before turning around and leaving.


    No matter what the opponent had used, she had lost and she wouldn¡¯t find any excuses.


    Looking at her flying away, Zhao Feng felt as if he had lost something. Although this wasn¡¯t the way he had wanted to win, it was the only possible way.


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and said in a solemn tone: ¡°When I have nothing left to worry about one day, I¡¯ll come back and marry you.¡±


    Liu Qinxin, who was midair, froze.


    But she didn¡¯t turn around: ¡°I don¡¯t want your pity.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s on the basis that you¡¯re not married yet.¡± Zhao Feng said before leaving on his azure sharp swallow.


    This bet had lost all meaning. Although Zhao Feng had escaped, he had left this promise behind.


    For someone as retarded as him in terms of EQ, this was a miracle.


    ¡°Master, is he really the Star in my life or is he my nemesis?¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes were somewhat resentful.


    After interacting with Zhao Feng with a long time, she also knew that Zhao Feng was horrible in terms of EQ. Therefore, this promise moved Liu Qinxin.


    He had even given this promise under the fact that he had won. If Zhao Feng was emotionless or more shameless, Liu Qinxin could only leave, but destiny changed again once more.


    ¡°The person he¡¯s finding is Empress Qin. Hopefully, we won¡¯t be enemies the next time we meet.¡±


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes turned calm once more.


    When Zhao Feng had taken out the half of the jade hairbrush, the first tie Liu Qinxin that was sure which branch of the Liu family it was from.


    Sitting on the Azure Sharp Swallow, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed became faster and faster as he sped off into the sky.


    ¡°I must leave the Flooding Lake Area as soon as possible.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt pressured. Although Liu Qinxin wouldn¡¯t pursue him, it didn¡¯t mean the City Lord wouldn''t.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions were tarnishing the Flooding Lake Liu family¡¯s reputation and humiliating the City Lord. But using this chance, the City Lord had reached the True Lord Rank.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on his shoulder and clattered the two coins together.


    Zhao Feng was thinking about Liu QInxin¡¯s story. The expert had taken three female disciples. The first disciple chose the Dao of Life, the second the Dao of Charm and Liu Qinxin was the first disciple¡¯s heir.


    The little thieving cat waved its paws as if trying to say something.


    Zhao Feng could understand what it meant - the Dao of Life first disciple had changed Liu Qinxin¡¯s destiny and it seemed very successful.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s appearance caused the Flooding Lake City Lord to break through to the True Lord Rank and he had made a promise to take Liu Qinxin as his wife if the latter was willing.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat threw around the ¡®Coins of Destiny¡¯ and nodded its head with a bit of admiration.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, the person that chose the Dao of Charm should be Empress Qin.¡±


    The suspicions in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was solved and now the only puzzle was the relationship between Empress Qin and First Elder.


    A few days later, Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and confirmed his route to leave the Flooding Lake area.


    Because of using the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye became more tired and more faint ice blue hair appeared.


    The rate of the ice blue aura appearing in his left eye became higher and all of this made Zhao Feng¡¯s tiredness increase.


    ¡°I can¡¯t hold it back anymore¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng gritted his teeth. Every moment now he wanted to sleep, but he knew that he couldn¡¯t do so if he was still around the Flooding Lake area.


    Instinct told him that the time wouldn¡¯t be short.


    After managing to hold on for another two days, a river appeared in front of him and at this moment Zhao Feng had entered a new territory.


    A wave of sleep enveloped Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness.


    He didn¡¯t realise that over half his hair had turned faint blue.


    Even his eye had speckles of crystal blue in it.


    ¡°This is the limit¡­. ¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes.


    Plop.


    His body fell into the river and was soon covered by the waves.

 280 Sleep 2

    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness turned blurry as he fell into deep sleep. After falling into the river, his body automatically turned into a half-dead state.


    Zhao Feng was like a piece of wood that went with the flow no matter how the winds blew or the waves shook.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped out of the Spiritual Pet Bag, sat on its owner¡¯s body and looked around with its black eyes.


    The little thieving cat denied logic by being able to enter and exit the Spiritual Pet Bag as it pleased.


    It looked down and surveyed Zhao Feng before reaching out and patting its owners forehead. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any reactions, but his True Force and bloodline power seemed to protect itself on instinct.


    At a certain moment, a Yao beast eyed Zhao Feng and tried to approach him but a sizzle of lightning and icy blue aura appeared from Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline.


    The bloodline power froze the beast that was approaching and made it tremble.


    The little thieving cat seemed to think about something and took out the two Coins of Destiny before throwing them into the air.


    The little thieving cat seemed somewhat helpless after they landed and yawned before disappearing back into the Spiritual Pet Bag.


    Days passed by and Zhao Feng entered a coma-like state, but his aura of life still remained.


    The little thieving cat would occasionally come out and check on its owner or catch some fish from the river.


    In the blink of an eye, a month passed by.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body went with the flow and help of the little thieving cat, it pulled away from the Flooding Lake area.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat looked in towards the direction of the Flooding Lake City and nodded its head.


    It was almost certain that Zhao Feng was now safe.


    The Flooding Lake Liu family was already one of the three strongest forces around the Flooding Lake area and with the Flooding Lake City Lord ¡®Liu Jiutian¡¯ reaching the True Lord Rank, it obviously dominated.


    After Zhao Feng ran away the City Lord, Liu Jiutian ordered everyone around the Flooding lake area to search for Zhao Feng. But the size of the Canopy Great Country was too big and even the City Lord could only affect the areas around the Flooding Lake Area.


    Apart from the Flooding Lake area, there were also forces that had connections with the Imperials, Three Sects and Four Families.


    Even the Liu family had strong competition and inner battles.


    All in all, not one person could truly order everyone around. Not even the Imperials.


    This was why the further that Zhao Feng went, the more safe he would be.


    The little thieving cat and Zhao Feng had a blood pact and although the cat seemed lazy most days, it wouldn¡¯t stand aside at the critical moments.


    After a month of deep sleep, Zhao Feng¡¯s hair had turned all faint blue and his left eye had turned into a dream-like ice blue color.


    Looking from afar, Zhao Feng seemed like a Prince of Dreams.


    However, in the time that Zhao Feng was asleep, he would occasionally murmur things and his left eye would open for short amount of times. His left eye was like a water crystal - full of perfection.


    ¡°The Ancient is broken, and the Ancient Gods slain will turn into a trillion dust¡­ ¡±


    The cold sighing voice sounded in pitch black. It was as if this sound had passed from another dimension in time.


    In the depths of the his left eye, the azure abyss had turned into a small blue pond and the centre of the pond was frozen.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face seemed even colder and when his left eye was open, an invisible coldness would spread across the radius of a hundred yards and make the animals nearby hiccup.


    The coldness was so intense that even those at the True Spirit Realm would be moved.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s eyes was full of expectation and respect.


    Sometimes, it would just sit on Zhao Feng and cultivate. That¡¯s right, the little thieving cat was cultivating and the number of primal crystal stones and spiritual pills consumed by it could have created a mountain.


    Time flowed by.


    Apart from the fact that Zhao Feng would occasionally open his eyes, he remained in a deep sleep and instead of his cultivation dropping, it actually increased steadily forwards.


    On this day, Zhao Feng¡¯s body finally entered a bay. This bay was full of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and the paths were complex.


    At the beginning, there was the occasional figure that passed by and gradually, the sound of flying appeared.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body was starting to recover as his face and breathing rate became more obvious.


    In his mind, Zhao Feng was having a weird dream.


    In the dream, he witnessed a battlefield that was bigger than what could be imagined.


    In the scenery, giant figures shattered the earth and made the sun and moon lose their light.


    Zhao Feng could even feel the earth move and the clashes shake his soul.


    In the dream, the skies seemed to be torn apart and entire continents were shaking. Just a slight sizzle of battle could flatten the Flooding Lake City.


    ¡°This¡­ this is mythical¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. Although the pictures were blurry, just one wisp of their aura made his soul tremble and froze his thoughts.


    Even though the scenery wasn¡¯t clear, Zhao Feng was sure that this was a generation of the ancient era.


    There was the occasional clear detail in the dream. For example, when one of the Ancient Gods used their skills.


    This allowed Zhao Feng to comprehend them, but he would feel extremely tired and his consciousness would turn blurry.


    ¡°Look, there¡¯s a person in the water.¡±


    A green boat sailed over and on the boat was a pig-tailed girl around the age of 12 to 13 who was pointing at Zhao Feng.


    The figures on the boat looked at each other.


    ¡°The person floating doesn¡¯t seem dead.¡±


    ¡°Eh? There¡¯s also a cat.¡±


    The people on the boat found this weird.


    The pigtailed girl ordered: ¡°Pull him up, aww, that cat looks so cute.¡±


    ¡°Lady Qiaoyu, this person¡¯s identity is unknown. He could be a pirate.¡±


    The people on the boat were somewhat hesitant.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat stood on top of Zhao Feng and waved its paw in disdain.


    Everyone paused and could tell that it was arguing for its owner.


    ¡°What a clever cat, his owner must be a good person.¡± The pigtailed girl said with joy as she told a few sailors to pull Zhao Feng up.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s hair was faint blue and this made the girl exclaim: ¡°What pretty hair!¡±


    The people were curious and some interested girls gently touched the hair to confirm that his hair was natural and not dyed.


    After being moved onto the boat, the youth was still in deep sleep.


    The little thieving cat jumped around on the boat, causing the pig-tailed girl to be overjoyed.


    ¡°Little cat, hello, my name is Bi Qiaoyu from the Tranverse Water Bay Bi family.¡± The pig-tailed girl introduced herself.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat patted its chest as it was if introducing itself as well and that caused the people to laugh.


    At this instant, the entire boat became lively due to the little thieving cat.


    ¡°Qiaoyu, what¡¯s the situation with this cat and youth?¡± An old voice sounded from a room in the boat.


    ¡°Greeting, Master Bi.¡±


    The people on the boat bowed down respectfully. In the Tranverse Water Bay, the Bi family was one of the top forces.


    Apparently, the Transverse Water Bay Bi family had a relationship with one of the Four Families - the main Bi family and could be considered as a side family.


    However, because of the complexity of the landscape of the Transverse Water Bay and how it was far away, the connection between this Bi family and the main Bi family had been lost long ago.


    No matter what was said, it was still a force to be reckoned with in this area.


    Master Bi¡¯s hair was all white and he held a walking stick engraved with the head of a dragon. His eyes twinkled as he inspected the little thieving cat and then turned towards the youth in deep sleep.


    After understanding the situation, Master Bi ordered: ¡°Tell the medic to wake up this youth and ask where he¡¯s from.¡±


    There was a medic on the boat who held Zhao Feng¡¯s pulse with furrowed eyebrows. The medic used several methods, but Zhao Feng still remained like wood with no reaction.


    After that, Master Bi personally took Zhao Feng¡¯s pulse but no matter what happened, the blue haired youth was still in deep sleep and felt nothing of the outside world.


    The people on the boat were even suspicious that the youth was disabled.


    ¡°We¡¯ll retreat first. I heard that the Blood Water Pirates have been making suspicious moves around the Transverse Water Bay, so we need to keep an eye on him clearly.¡± Master Bi said.


    With his knowledge and experience, it wasn¡¯t hard for him to see that Zhao Feng had a bloodline and had reached the 7th Sky at such a young age.


    The 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm could already be classified as an expert in the Transverse Water Bay.


    Soon, the boat entered a crowded stronghold whose size was much larger than Sun Feather City.


    This was the centre of the Transverse Water Bay - the Transverse Bay Stronghold.


    The fishermen, businessmen and small families all used this stronghold as the centre and a large number of people would be checked because the famous ¡®Cripple Blood Water Pirates¡¯ were traveling around here, causing many innocent people to lose their lives.


    In the Transverse Water Stronghold, the Bi family was the strongest and they held absolute authority.


    Because Zhao Feng was in deep sleep, he was taken in by the Bi family and wasn¡¯t checked. After entering the Bi family, Zhao Feng was put in a wood-cutting room where eight guards of the 6th and 7th Sky kept an eye on him.


    For the next two days, the Bi family found two medics to look at Zhao Feng but had no success.


    However Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing rate, heart beat and colour was all close to normal.


    The little thieving cat always stayed by his side and would occasionally yawn.


    On this night,


    ¡°Little thieving cat, how long did I sleep for?¡± A weak voice sounded.


    The little thieving cat was frightened and immediately hiccupped.


    The youth with ice blue hair opened his left eye. The left eye was like a cold gem so strong that it could freeze one¡¯s heart.

 281 Water Moon Treasury

    When Zhao Feng opened his eyes, the eight experts keeping an eye on him felt a coldness that went straight to their souls.


    At that moment, even their thoughts seemed to be frozen and they all hiccupped at the same time.


    Zhao Feng wanted to get up but he found that his body was very weak.


    After all, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t eaten for over a month and he had entered a habitual state.


    ¡°My mental energy level has surpassed my cultivation level by far - it¡¯s comparable to the True Spirit Realm.¡±


    When Zhao Feng touched his mental energy source, he was shocked by what he saw. Inside the dimension of his left eye, there was a small frozen pond that gave off a cold blue light.


    At this point in time. Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy source was incredibly powerful and contained a terrifying coldness.


    This coldness could even touch one¡¯s soul.


    Now, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had undergone the second change and succeeded.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and Zhao Feng soon understood that he had slept for a month and twelve days.


    ¡°That person woke up.¡±


    The experts outside surrounded the room as if facing a terrifying enemy.


    Zhao Feng lay still and concealed his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s aura before putting on the eyepatch that Tiegan Master gave him.


    The faint silver eyepatch was as thin as a sharp knife and elegant.


    The instant that the eyepatch was put on, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power was greatly concealed.


    Boom!


    At this moment, the door to the room was kicked open.


    Two experts of the 7th Sky from the Bi family, who had sharp eyes walked in.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng had just put on his eyepatch and his appearance made their expressions change.


    ¡°This brat is a pirate!¡±


    ¡°In the Transverse Water Bay, there dozens of pirates with eye patches and none of them are good guys - most of them are the leaders.¡±


    The experts from the Bi family were full of wary as they acted like they were facing a great threat.


    Pirate?


    This scene puzzled Zhao Feng. When did he become a pirate?


    He had just woken up and didn¡¯t know where he was.


    In the Transverse Water Bay, the number of pirates wearing eyepatches wasn¡¯t low.


    Furthermore, some pirates would wear eyepatches even if their eye wasn¡¯t blind to increase their ferocity.


    Sigh¡­


    Zhao Feng lay on the ground helplessly.


    Over the past month, his cultivation was indeed increasing steadily. But because his body had not taken in food for a long time, so he felt weak.


    If these people were to fight him right now, it wouldn¡¯t be good.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go eat some food, I¡¯m hungry.¡±


    Zhao Feng pulled himself up from the ground, ignoring the experts from the Bi family and walked outside.


    The weird thing was, the seven to eight experts from the Bi family kept on circling the room as if they hadn¡¯t seen Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    After the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had evolved, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy techniques could be used without almost any preparation.


    The seven to eight experts of the Bi family had fallen into a maze and were moving around at the same place.


    A while later in the canteen of the Bi family.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat took a few wonderful looking fried fish and started to gulp them down, whereas Zhao Feng sat down and ate his food while inspecting his surroundings.


    At the beginning, he used a mental energy skill to cover up a bit. But later on, more and more people arrived so he started to eat without regard.


    ¡°Come quickly!¡±


    ¡°Pirates are entering in our canteen!¡±


    The canteen of the Bi family fell into chaos while the human and cat ate.


    The little thieving cat even started to drink alcohol and started to get blurry eyes.


    More and more people started to crowd around.


    Soon, the seven to eight experts of the Bi family heard of this and rushed over. But when they tried to approach Zhao Feng, they would walk around and lose connection with the outside world.


    Anyone who had enmities that approached closer would fall into the illusions made by Zhao Feng.


    As more people started to arrive, the Head of the Bi family was soon notified.


    ¡°Which pirate dares to make a ruckus in my Bi family?¡±


    An invisible aura descended like a raging flame, making the people near the canteen unable to breath.


    The newcomer was a purple shirted middle aged man whose Qi of half step True Spirit made the entire canteen fall into dead silence.


    Zhao Feng glanced over : It looks like this is a small family about the size of the Overlooking Mist Province Liu family.


    Now that his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had reached an entirely new level, he wouldn¡¯t be scared even if normal True Spirit Realm cultivators arrived.


    ¡°Everyone please calm down. This one thanks you for your hospitality, food and help.¡±


    Zhao Feng had finished his meal and thanked them. No matter what was said, the Bi family had pulled him from the water and he had eaten here. If he was to just leave without doing anything, it wouldn¡¯t feel right.


    ¡°You¡¯re finally awake.¡±


    The pig tailed girl walked out from the crowd and started to play with the little thieving cat.


    The Head of the Bi family was still wary and suspicious.


    The youth was extremely weird - the experts of the Bi family who had tried to attack him were all walking in circles.


    Even he couldn¡¯t see through this youth.


    ¡°Go ask for Master Bi.¡± The Head of the family ordered.


    The most important thing right now for him is to stabilize the youth in front of him.


    ¡°Currently, the Severed Blood Water Pirates have been poking around the stronghold and harming a lot of innocents. These idiots thought that little brother here was a pirate. I hope you can forgive them.¡± The purple shirt middle aged man said with smiles as he greeted Zhao Feng.


    Through this discussion, Zhao Feng understood the situation here.


    There were two main forces in the Transverse Water Bay. One side was the pirates and the other was made up of families, businessmen and fishermen - the Transverse Water Stronghold.


    Simply said, they were just black and white.


    ¡°The Transverse Water Stronghold is the centre of this bay and normally the pirates wouldn¡¯t come close and would only just attack a few businessmen. However, over the past few days, the famous Severed Blood Water Pirates have been coming close with unknown motives¡­ ¡± The Head of the family said as he looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s reactions closely.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was cold and there was no sign of emotion.


    After the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had evolved, Zhao Feng had become colder but this didn¡¯t mean that he couldn¡¯t think.


    ¡°The Transverse Water Stronghold is the centre of the bay and has the gathering of multiple forces, easy to defend and hard to attack. No matter how strong the Severed Blood Water Pirates are, they just pirates and have limited people.¡± Zhao Feng analysed.


    The conclusion that he came up with was that these Severed Blood Water Pirates didn¡¯t want to attack the stronghold and had other intentions.


    The Head of the family stalled Zhao Feng as he waited for Master Bi.


    Master Bi had a high reputation across the Transverse Water Bay and was very respected.


    Apparently, he was close to two hundred years old and without a doubt, only those at the True Spirit Realm could live for so long.


    However, the Head of the family waited for half the time it took for tea to be made and nothing happened.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s eyes twinkled as his paws flipped two coins into the air.


    Ominous?


    Zhao Feng looked towards the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat nodded his head, but this omnicity wasn¡¯t directed towards Zhao Feng but Master Bi.


    ¡°Reporting to the Head of the family, Master Bi hasn¡¯t been seen this morning. People claim that they saw him leave the Bi family last night.¡± A servant reported.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. The little thieving cat had some skill.


    ¡°Reporting to the head of the family, not good!¡±


    ¡°The Blood Water Pirates have led the eighteen pirates groups and blocked the three paths near around the Transverse Water Bay.¡±


    A shocking news spread out.


    The Severed Blood Water Pirates were known for their brutality and its leader the ¡®Severed Blood Bald Eagle¡¯ apparently had the cultivation of the True Spirit Realm.


    Under normal circumstances, the Transverse Water Stronghold wasn¡¯t scared of the pirates because they held an absolute advantage.


    ¡°Give the order to lock down the stronghold and don¡¯t act rashly.¡± The Head of the family took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression.


    In this critical moment, Master Bi who had the highest cultivation had disappeared and the remaining forces didn¡¯t dare make any moves.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. Were the pirates really going to attack the stronghold?


    Going back a step, even if these pirates were able to bloodwash the stronghold, their losses would be terrible. How many would be left?


    ¡°Although there isn¡¯t anyone at the True Spirit Realm here, the experts in the stronghold still outnumber the pirates several times. Plus the stronghold is easy to defend and hard to attack so there¡¯s no fear of battle.¡± The Head of the family said confidently and gave sent down orders.


    Due to the fact that the stronghold was on lockdown, Zhao Feng could only stay temporarily in the stronghold.


    Most of the natives in the stronghold panicked.


    Pirates grouping together were extremely rare and it would usually only appear once every a hundred years.


    Compared to them, Zhao Feng seemed much more free.


    ¡°After leaving this place and passing through three areas the size of the Flooding Lake Area, I¡¯ll reach the Capital. Looks like I floated a long distance in the river.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected his map. His target wasn¡¯t very far from him now.


    As long as the pirates left, Zhao Feng could leave for the Capital.


    However, nothing progressed as smoothly as Zhao Feng thought. The pirates still blocked the passages with no intention of leaving.


    The air and water were all under their control.


    ¡°The pirates aren¡¯t attacking the stronghold. What¡¯s their aim?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t understand. Just as Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t hold back anymore and was planning to leave the stronghold by himself.


    ¡°Master Bi is back!¡± An exclaim came from the stronghold.


    Zhao Feng looked over and saw an old man holding a dragon head shaped walking stick float into the stronghold.


    Master Bi¡¯s face was pale white and one of his legs was now disabled. The blood on him made him look terrible.


    ¡°Master Bi!¡± The Head of the family and Bi Qiaoyu shouted.


    ¡°I found out yesterday that the Severed Blood Water Pirates¡¯ aim isn¡¯t the stronghold but the legendary Water Moon Treasury.¡± Master Bi said hoarsely as he sat on the ground and started to recover.


    Water Moon Treasury.


    ¡°How is this possible? The Water Moon Treasury was always a legend in the Transverse Water Bay.¡±


    ¡°Even if the Water Moon Treasury is real, we don¡¯t even know it. How could the Severed Blood Water Pirates know the landscape well?¡±


    The upper echelons of the stronghold were stunned.


    Hearing up to here, Zhao Feng understood what had happened and the puzzle in his heart was solved.


    No matter how arrogant the pirates were, they wouldn¡¯t attack a stronghold with fortified defenses.


    Their true aim was the Water Moon Treasury, but the location of the treasury was near the Transvere Water Bay. There would definitely be some movement, but they didn¡¯t want to raise their attention.


    Therefore, the Severed Blood Water Pirates blocked their passages and made it so that they couldn¡¯t move rashly.


    Only like this would the pirates be able to take all of the treasury for themselves.

 282 Party

    ¡°Master Bi, what should we do? Are we really going to let those pirates take the Water Moon Treasury?¡±


    ¡°The Transverse Water Bay is our territory. How can we give these treasury to the pirates?¡±


    ¡°But Master Bi is seriously injured¡­ ¡±


    The upper echelon of the stronghold discussed.


    Most of the people were greedy and impatient towards the Water Moon Treasury, unwilling for it to be taken by the pirates.


    After all, the Water Moon Treasury was in their territory. How could they just watch as the pirates took it?


    ¡°Water Moon Treasury? What¡¯s this legend?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be curious.


    All the people here knew of the Water Moon Treasury. Only Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know anything.


    However, from Master Bi¡¯s injury, it could be seen that the Water Moon Treasury had a great attraction for even those at the True Spirit Realm.


    Master Bi¡¯s eyes shone as he said in a low tone: ¡°The Severed Blood Water Leader Bald Eagle is extremely crafty. He set a trap to lure me in and ambushed me. However, he¡¯s also injured due to my counterattack.¡±


    Hearing this, more people suggested to attack and steal the treasure.


    Although Master Bi had been tricked by the Severed Blood Bald Eagle and one of his legs was now disabled, the latter had also been injured.


    All in all, Master Bi was at a disadvantage but the stronghold had more elites.


    Immediately, Master Bi recovered while the Head of the Bi family gathered the upper echelon and experts.


    Through some discussion, the stronghold decided to send its elites to fight for the treasury. Of course, there would be people left behind to protect the stronghold.


    About half the time it took for tea to be made.


    The Transverse Water Bay had gathered a powerful battalion. There was a total of four half step True Spirit Realm, seventeen 7th Sky, and dozens of 6th Sky cultivators.


    It was obvious that the Transverse Water Stronghold was going down the path of elites.


    On one hand, the stronghold needed people to protect it and on the other hand, it was for personal gain.


    The more people going meant that the treasures split would be less.


    ¡°Master Bi, what should we do with this unknown youth?¡±


    A few upper echelons looked at the blue haired youth with some enmity.


    The blue haired youth was wearing an eyepatch with a cold expression - he didn¡¯t seem like a good person either.


    ¡°Master Bi, in these situations, I¡¯d rather kill an innocent than let a caught fish go.¡±


    A cold light flashed in one of the experts at the 7th Sky¡¯s eyes.


    This suggestion was soon agreed upon by many. Some were even certain that Zhao Feng was a pirate.


    Zhao Feng was somewhat surprised as he stroked his chin.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and waved its paws in disdain.


    Facing the group of experts, the one cat and one human were very calm.


    ¡°Hmph! He was pulled up from the water by me and with such a cute cat, how can they be pirates?¡±


    Only Bi Qiaoyu stood out and protect Zhao Feng.


    When Zhao Feng was pulled out, Master Bi had personally checked Zhao Feng and found that this youth had a bloodline power.


    In the Canopy Great Country, bloodlines represented nobility. These people were welcomed everywhere. Was there a need to be a pirate at such a young age?


    Furthermore, under all the enmity of all these people, they were unusually calm and this surprised Master Bi.


    He couldn¡¯t see through Zhao Feng, but everything was possible. This mysterious youth would be left uncontrolled in the stronghold.


    ¡°Little friend, are you interested to come with us to go to the treasury?¡± Master Bi asked with a warm smile.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but think of Master Bi¡¯s intelligence.


    Since he wasn¡¯t relaxed with Zhao Feng, why not take the latter with them?


    If Zhao Feng really had other motives, they could easily kill him with their battalion.


    However, if Zhao Feng was innocent, his cultivation and bloodline power would be a great help to them.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He didn¡¯t know what the Water Moon Treasury was, so he asked about it.


    ¡°The brat really doesn¡¯t know about the Water Moon Treasury?¡±


    The elites of the stronghold were surprised.


    If Zhao Feng really didn¡¯t know anything about the Water Moon Treasury, this would mean that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t from the area and probably didn¡¯t have any relationship with the pirates.


    ¡°The Water Moon Treasury comes from the famous Flower Picking Moon Pirates hundreds of years ago¡­ ¡± The Head of the Bi family explained.


    A hundred years ago, there was a Flower Picking Pirate that shocked the entire Canopy Great Country - the Water Moon Great Pirate.


    The Water Moon Great Pirate traveled across the country, committing countless crimes, stealing treasures and tarnishing young girls.


    Although the Water Moon Great Pirate hadn¡¯t reached the apex of cultivation, his speed and movement was so incredible that it allowed him to run away from several True Lord Ranks.


    Zhao Feng knew what had happened after listening only to half of the story.


    This Water Moon Great Pirate had incredible speed and movement and ge had tarnished many beauties as well as stolen countless treasures.


    After he died, he put all his treasures at a secret location and this was the Water Moon Treasury.


    However, Zhao Feng was slightly curious. If the Water Moon Great Pirate¡¯s speed was at the apex, how could he die?


    The Head of the Bi family revealed the key to this puzzle.


    ¡°The Mystic Flower Treasured Bible that the Water Moon Great Pirate cultivated was a wicked skill close to the Spiritual Grade High level. Cultivating this skill can steal the Yin in women and replenish themselves. In just a few decades, the Water Moon Great Pirate used this skill to reach the True Mystic Rank. However, the later stages of this skill requires women with higher cultivation and one day, he set his target on ¡®Empress Qin¡¯.¡±


    Empress Qin.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing rate quickened. He didn¡¯t think that the Water Moon Great Pirate¡¯s death would have to do with the person that he was going to give the letter to.


    ¡°Empress Qin is ranked the top beauty in the Canopy Great Country and her cultivation is at the True Spirit Realm. The Water Moon Great Pirate arrogantly entered the important grounds of the Imperials and the place where Empress Qin lived. However, this time, the Water Moon Great Pirate failed.¡±


    ¡°At the end, he had to burn his Qi of True Spirit and escape with serious injuries before putting his knowledge and treasures into a hidden location.¡±


    When everyone heard up to here, they were all sighing.


    The Water Moon Great Pirate had swept across the Canopy Great Country, but at the end, he went too high-key and dared to touch the Emperor¡¯s woman.


    The Water Moon Great Pirate had died around a hundred years ago. His treasures were enough to move a True Lord Rank¡¯s heart. His wealth was probably more than what normal experts at the True Lord Rank had.


    ¡°Personally or not, we mustn''t allow the Blood Bald Eagle to get the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s treasure. If a wicked skill like the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible was to be spread, it would threaten our stronghold. Master Bi gritted his teeth.


    This was agreed to by everyone.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we must stop the pirates from taking the treasury.¡±


    ¡°Our stronghold needs to work together to fight for the treasury and destroy the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.¡± The group said righteously and soon formed a powerful party for battle.


    Zhao Feng stood on the side righteously and watched coldly like a spectator.


    Although these people all acted in a righteous manner, which one of them wasn¡¯t greedy and putting their eyes on the Water Moon Treasury? If they really got the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible, who would give it up?


    One had to know that Spiritual grade skills were almost extinct in the continent.


    Even Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Inheritance was only comparable to a High tier Spiritual grade skill. The Mystic Flower Treasured Bible was a wicked skill that could allow the cultivator to increase their cultivation rapidly in a short amount of time.


    Soon, the Transverse Water Stronghold party charged towards the depths of the bay under Master Bi¡¯s command.


    Of these elites included Zhao Feng of ¡®outside help¡¯.


    Zhao Feng could even feel that at least four people in the group were watching his every move. Apart from Zhao Feng, Bi Qiaoyu was also included in the party.


    This young girl who was twelve to thirteen was talented and had already reached the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    However in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, Bi Qiaoyu participating with her strength and experience was a burden.


    Many of the upper echelons were puzzled and the Head of the Bi family was against it, but Master Bi had ordered Bi Qiaoyu himself to come.


    ¡°Qiaoyu is smart and excels in arrays and mechanics, having learnt from a mechanic master. According to what I know, the Water Moon Pirate was proficient in mechanics and arrays. It can be imagined that his treasury is full of traps and mechanisms.¡± Master Bi explained.


    He was the only one at the True Spirit Realm here and his position was unmovable in the Transverse Water Stronghold.


    Since Master Bi had made the decision, no one argued.


    Bi Qiaoyu was innocent and pure. Hearing that she was going to fight with the pirates, she found it fun and accepted it.


    On the way, she played with the little thieving cat and her sounds of happiness created some joy for the silent and withdrawn group.


    ¡°Bi Qiaoyu started learning mechanisms and arrays from a young age and the Water Moon Treasury was coincidentally here. Are things this coincidental?¡±


    Zhao Feng was suspicious, but he didn¡¯t ask anything so as to not draw Master Bi¡¯s suspicions.


    The party met several hordes of pirates on the way and obviously slaughtered them. Afterall, most of the people here were of the 6th Sky and tgey had an expert at the True Spirit Realm here.


    After passing a hundred or so miles, a river appeared in front of the party. This river was very weird - on the surface it seemed very calm but below it was countless whirlpools.


    On the shore was a pirate ship and when the party arrived, the people on the ship were waiting.


    The pirates on the ship were also elites and the leader wore a black eyepatch and red robe. He had a brutal expression and he was at the centre of the pirates as if he was the King.


    The forces of the pirates were also considerable and not much different from the Transverse Water Stronghold¡¯s.


    ¡°Old man Bi, you¡¯ve lost a leg and even burned your Qi of True Spirit under severe injuries. Shouldn¡¯t you be resting instead of coming to fight for the treasury?¡±


    The one eyed red robed person licked his lips and released a bloody dominant aura of the True Spirit Realm with killing intent so cold that it touched the heart.

 283 A Bunch of Retards

    ¡°Hahaha¡­¡­¡±


    The pirates on the ship began to laugh gruesomely. The leading one-eyed red robed person with a black eyepatch was also bald..


    He was the famous leader of the Severed Blood Pirates - the Severed Blood Bald Eagle.


    Zhao Feng inspected this person with his eye and found that, although both he and Master Bi were at True Human Rank, the Severed Blood Bald Eagle¡¯s aura was much more powerful than Master Bi¡¯s.


    No wonder he could almost succeed in killing Master Bi.


    ¡°Severed Blood Bald Eagle, the Water Moon Treasury is the territory of my Transverse Water Stronghold. You better leave quickly, otherwise, we¡¯ll finish all of you off in one blow when our reinforcements arrive.¡±


    Master Bi said with a deep tone, his words pierced straight to the heart.


    The expressions of the pirates on the ship changed.


    The number of people that Master Bi took were all elites but were limited in number. In reality, the Transverse Water Stronghold had a greater number of troops, and as time dragged on, the situation wouldn¡¯t be good for the pirates.


    ¡°We¡¯ve already sent out news and if I¡¯m not wrong, the Severed Blood Bald Eagle is warranted by both the Iron Blood Religion and Imperial family.¡±


    The Head of the Bi family snickered coldly.


    The group from the stronghold also didn¡¯t hold back and retorted, but none of them showed any signs of attacking.


    ¡°Both forces are around the same strength, but the side that really doesn¡¯t want to fight is Master Bi.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s sharp eyes surveyed the entire situation.


    Why didn¡¯t Master Bi want to fight?


    At that moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw Master Bi¡¯s injuries.


    ¡°Master Bi had burnt his Qi of True Force and one of his legs are disabled. His power is currently only 60% of his peak strength. On the other hand, although the Severed Blood Bald Eagle was also injured he still has 80% or even more of his original strength.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s estimation of their strength was accurate to a degree that even Master Bi and the Severed Blood Bald Eagle didn¡¯t know this.


    Master Bi didn¡¯t dare to fight the Severed Blood Bald Eagle head on and instead created a situation where both sides were equal.


    Furthermore, the Bi family had said that they had spread the news.


    This way, the Severed Blood Bald Eagle didn¡¯t dare to fight for an extended period of time. They would either have to finish the fight immediately or make a peace talk.


    It wasn¡¯t realistic to finish the fight immediately because both sides were equal in strength and there might be other people waiting to reap the rewards after them.


    The Severed Blood Bald Eagle¡¯s expression changed incessantly.


    He wasn¡¯t certain whether the Transverse Water Stronghold had spread the news or not but Zhao Feng clearly knew that the stronghold hadn¡¯t. Instead, they had sealed off the stronghold because the Water Moon Treasury was too important and could bring in more terrifying experts from the outside, meaning that none of them would get the treasury.


    About half the time it took to brew tea had passed.


    The Transverse Water Stronghold and Severed Blood Pirates reached an agreement.


    The two parties would both open the treasury.


    The Severed Blood Pirates were obviously unwilling but the Bald Eagle¡¯s face was calm. This was the Transverse Water Stronghold¡¯s territory and his aim to open the treasury had been reached.


    Furthermore, the battle for the treasury was about courage and intellect.


    The people from the stronghold had a funny feeling: They would usually fight with the pirates - who would have expected them to work together?


    Of course.


    The Transverse Water Stronghold were also lucky because it was the Severed Blood Pirates who had the exact location of the treasury or else it wouldn¡¯t progress as smoothly if Master Bi and company wanted to open the Water Moon Treasury.


    When Zhao Feng thought up to this point, he admired Master Bi even more.


    ¡°The Water Moon Treasury''s location is several hundred feet under the river in a secret cave. However, the whirlpools in the river can pull even large ships away; normal cultivators at the Ascended Realm won''t be able to block it.¡±


    The Severed Blood Bald Eagle said in an expressionlessly manner.


    The ship of the pirates was docked at the shore and didn¡¯t dare enter that zone.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye surveyed the water and saw many whirlpools.


    These whirlpools were extremely powerful and even experts at 7th Sky might not be able to retreat completely unharmed.


    However, from the surface, the water seem to be calm and silent.


    Next.


    Both parties sent people attached to ropes into the zone of whirlpools to search for the Water Moon secret cave.


    The Transverse Water Stronghold first sent out two experts at the 6th and 7th Sky to search in the river.


    The expert at the 6th Sky stopped moving almost instantly and when he was pulled out, his body was cold while his face was white. It was as if he had been crushed by some power.


    Seeing this, the pirates were full of schadenfreude.


    The other expert at the 7th Sky entered for a short amount of time before struggling and was pulled out.


    ¡°The whirlpools at the depths of the river contain a terrifying pulling force and devastating pressure¡­¡±


    The expression of the expert at the 7th Sky was pale white and had no energy.


    Master Bi¡¯s expression became solemn.


    If the Water Moon Treasury¡¯s entrance was so easy to find, why would the pirates wait for them?


    Zhao Feng quietly walked around the river and inspected it.


    His left eye surveyed the situation within the river.


    These whirlpools seemed to be formed by nature and when one went against it, the more terrifying the power it would be.


    At the end, one would have to face the suction of several hundred to a thousand whirlpools.


    ¡°Even normal cultivators at True Spirit Realm would find it hard to resist this array formed by nature.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    If they were to just send out people one after another to find the cave, the most likely result would be that they would lose their lives.


    Master Bi noticed Zhao Feng¡¯s actions and faintly smiled, ¡°Little brother, what do you think we should do?¡±


    Being at True Spirit Realm, Master Bi¡¯s words obviously caught the attention of many.


    The pirates looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s appearance and were slightly puzzled.


    They had first thought that this guy was part of them.


    ¡°I think that we should first scout out the whirlpools as there seems to be an array formed by nature down there.¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke.


    As he spoke, a cold light glimmered in the Severed Blood Bald Eagle¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Does this brat have some skill or is it a coincidence?¡±


    The Severed Blood Bald Eagle exchanged glances with the azure robed elder next to him.


    The azure robed elder squinted his eyes and laughed when he glanced at Zhao Feng, ¡°This brat might know one or two about arrays.¡±


    The Severed Blood Pirates were already figuring out how to break the array below, but it was technically impossible to do so as it was the same as facing the limitless power of heaven and earth.


    Therefore, the Severed Blood Pirates were trying to find out the route where they would pass by only the weakest of whirlpools.


    Putting it simply, it was finding the flaw or the weak point in the array.


    Having a clear path, the people in both parties who knew about arrays started to discuss.


    Bi Qiaoyu and two other elders who excelled in arrays began to explore.


    At this point in time.


    Both the Transverse Water Stronghold and Severed Blood Pirates were trying their best to figure out a solution by sending people down time after time.


    Zhao Feng gazed coldly on the side and walked around the river once again.


    Both sides were discussing how to avoid the whirlpool and find the path to the entrance.


    ¡°Ayy¡­.. what a bunch of retards¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    That¡¯s right.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God''s Spiritual Eye had already discovered the best path of the array and was almost certain where the entrance was.


    If the Severed Blood Pirates were to know this, they would probably vomit blood.


    One had to know that they had paid a terrible price to find the entrance and had lost elites that were more than what could be counted with two hands but all Zhao Feng did was walk about the river twice.


    Time passed by slowly.


    Both sides reached a bottleneck in finding the entrance.


    Bi Qiaoyu¡¯s knowledge in array surpassed what Zhao Feng had thought but their way of thinking was wrong.


    ¡°Looks like I have to help them a bit.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    He didn¡¯t have any intentions of keeping all the treasure to himself because it was only a matter of time before these people reached the entrance and the longer they took, the more people would arrive and this had no benefits for Zhao Feng.


    ¡°There¡¯s a saying, ¡®the most dangerous place is the safest place¡¯.¡±


    Zhao Feng walked up next to Bi Qiaoyu and said softly.


    The two elders who were also proficient in arrays didn¡¯t understand and had looks of disdain.


    ¡°Ohh! I get it! Thanks Brother Zhao! You¡¯re definitely a genius.¡±


    Bi Qiaoyu said excitedly and everyone turned around to look at her.


    Bi Qiaoyu¡¯s face was bright red and full of smiles, ¡°The Water Moon Treasury should be at the centre of the whirlpool where it¡¯s most dangerous. If I¡¯m not wrong the ¡°Key of the Array¡± should be there.¡±


    ¡°Impossible, the most dangerous place of the whirlpool can even rip cultivators at half-step True Spirit Realm into shreds.¡±


    One of the elders retorted and when Zhao Feng heard this, he almost started cursing.


    ¡°It¡¯s like a tornado. The outer part is where the winds are strongest but the centre is extremely calm. This more one resists in this whirlpool array, the more the suction. On the other hand if you just go with the flow, you may be able to reach the key of the array without paying too much of a price.¡±


    Bi Qiaoyu quickly explained.


    In just one speech, she had broken the array.


    ¡°What she says is true and logical.¡±


    The eyes of the azure robed elder from the pirates side lit up.


    They weren¡¯t dumb, it was just that their way of thinking was wrong and had instinctively wanted to avoid the most dangerous zone.


    However, reality was exactly the opposite. The most dangerous place was actually the safest place.


    Furthermore, the location of the Water Moon Treasury had to be at a specific location. If one wasn¡¯t willing to take risks, how would they get any rewards?


    Next.


    The Transverse Water Stronghold and pirates went down this line of thought and sent experts to test it out.


    ¡°Ahhhhh!¡±


    From below the river came the scream of a pirate at the 7th Sky.


    A disfigured bloody corpse was soon pulled out.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t you say that if we went with the flow we¡¯ll be able to reach the eye of the array where it¡¯s the safest¡­.?¡±


    Some of the pirates looked unsatisfying towards Bi Qiaoyu with red eyes.


    Bi Qiaoyu¡¯s face went pale white as she looked towards Zhao Feng and Master Bi because this chain of thought was provided by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Bunch of retards!¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but curse.


    He saw clearly how that pirate had died with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Although it was said that the more you resist, the greater the suction


    Thus, if you went with the flow, the power against you would be smaller.


    It didn¡¯t mean that not resisting meant not to use your True Force to protect your body.


    Do you really fucking think your body is a legendary immortal, undying body?

 284 Water Moon Cave

    ¡°Bunch of retards¡­¡±


    A disdainful voice instantly made the pirates to glance over in anger and almost started charging over, but the blue haired youth who spoke was not scared.


    Luckily both leaders restrained their parties so they wouldn¡¯t fight easily.


    The Severed Blood Bald Eagle knitted his eyebrows as a fierce light gleamed in his eyes as he started to discuss with the azure robed person next to him.


    Master Bi looked weirdly towards Zhao Feng.


    After all, the chain of thought to break the array was given by him and the failure just then made the Bald Eagle and company feel unsatisfied towards Zhao Feng and Bi Qiaoyu.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, what went wrong?¡±


    Bi Qiaoyu asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s best to send an expert at half-step True Spirit Realm and use his True Force to protect himself unlike the retard before him.¡±


    Zhao Feng said casually.


    His attitude made it seem like he wasn¡¯t involved at all.


    Hearing this, the people of the Transverse Water Stronghold understood.


    ¡°That person was an idiot.¡±


    Everyone knew what he meant.


    Flowing with the whirlpool could minimise the pressure, but it didn¡¯t mean they were safe.


    The pirates¡¯ faces were seemed to be changing colours. The pirate was playing it way too safe.


    However, more suspicions arose.


    ¡°This youth was obviously standing on the shore. How could he know the situation within the river?¡±


    The azure robed person furrowed his eyebrows.


    Of the people present, only the Spiritual Sense of the two True Spirit Realm could see the situation clearly within the river.


    Master Bi had a thoughtful expression and remembered the bloodline of Zhao Feng when he had picked him up.


    Next.


    According to Zhao Feng¡¯s suggestion, both sides sent a cultivator at half-step True Spirit Realm to flow with the whirlpool.


    At this moment, the two experts at the True Spirit Realm used their Spiritual Sense.


    Under normal circumstances, the Spiritual Sense of those at True Human Rank could usually span miles, but in this area, it was restricted greatly.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God''s Spiritual Eye easily surveyed the situation below.


    This time, the two going under used their True Force to protect themselves and didn¡¯t resist the water flow. They instantly landed within the depths of the river.


    The depths of the river were extremely wide and needed to be explored.


    Even the Severed Blood Bald Eagle and Master Bi¡¯s Spiritual Sense became blurry, but Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could still see them.


    He even knew where the Water Moon Treasury was.


    Half the time it took to make tea had passed before two bright lights flashed once at the bottom of the river.


    ¡°Success!¡±


    Master Bi and the Severed Blood Bald Eagle both revealed a joyful expression when they saw the signal sent by the two people below.


    Zhao Feng stared thoughtfully at the depths of the river.


    Although it was extremely easy to pass through this array, how would they return?


    If they wanted to return they would have to go ¡®against¡¯ the current, only those at True Spirit Realm would be able to return safely.


    However, only a small number of people were able to think of this. Most of the others had been filled with greed by the rewards of the Water Moon Treasury.


    Plop Plop Plop----


    Both sides jumped into the whirlpools.


    ¡°Everyone charge in!¡±


    Master Bi couldn¡¯t contain the excitement on his face as he led the charge into the whirlpools.


    Zhao Feng was about to stop them but there wasn¡¯t enough time.


    According to his analysis, although flowing with the current would decrease the pressure, it wasn¡¯t like there was no restrictions at all.


    For example if a cultivator at the Consolidate Realm was to enter, they would be instantly ripped into pieces.


    Zhao Feng estimated only those at 7th Sky had a high chance of success, and the chance of success wasn¡¯t even at 100%.


    After all, the power of the whirlpools were all different and it depended on lucl.


    Of course, when one reached half-step True Spirit Realm, they would definitely succeed.


    Zhao Feng entered the whirlpool with Bi Qiaoyu and Master Bi ordered two experts at half-step True Spirit Realm including the Head of the Bi family to protect Bi Qiaoyu.


    The Head of the Bi family thought of Zhao Feng¡¯s mysteriousness as well as how he seemed to be very familiar with the array before deciding to go with him.


    He was proved to have gambled right.


    The people who followed Zhao Feng experienced suctions weaker than they imagined.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s route wasn¡¯t straight and took an arc instead.


    The result was that they felt that it was incredibly easy to pass through, even Bi Qiaoyu who was at the 5th Sky could barely pass.


    On the contrary, clashing and screaming from other areas could be heard.


    When they had reached the bottom and escaped the whirlpool zone, both sides had lost more than half their strength.


    Most of the people of 7th Sky had failed and died in the river. There were even two at the 7th Sky who had bad luck and faced powerful whirlpools which had ripped them apart.


    Only the cultivators at half-step True Spirit Realm weren¡¯t injured at all.


    Such a scene made the Head of the Bi family look towards Zhao Feng in a different light because no one who had followed Zhao Feng were injured.


    At the same time, near the shore of the river.


    Qiu Qiu Qiu-----


    Two males and one female landed on the shore.


    The person in the middle was a handsome youth wearing a brocade with a charming smile while also holding a fan in his hand.


    On his sides was a sexy woman and a short elder who obviously followed the youth.


    When the three descended, the youth wearing a brocade in the middle gave off powerful True Spirit aura.


    ¡°Who are you!?¡±


    There were still some pirates on the shore and ship, these people were full of caution.


    Before they had even finished speaking. the youth wearing the brocade waved his fan and dozens of streaks of fan shadows flickered through the air.


    These fan shadows seemed to merge into their targets.


    Sii!


    Those who were hit by the fan shadows instantly crumbled and turned into a puddle of blood within a few breaths.


    ¡°You.. you¡¯re the Fan Flying Bandit!¡±


    One of the peak 7th Sky pirates managed to resist for four to five breaths before turning into a puddle of blood.


    ¡°Fan Flying Bandit¡­.. Apparently was a disciple of the Water Moon Pirates.¡±


    One of the 7th Sky cultivators from the Transverse Water Stronghold revealed an expression of shock before he died.


    The Water Moon Pirate had taken in several disciples in his life and the ¡°Peach Fan Flying Bandit¡± was his best disciple.


    However, because the Water Moon Pirate died quickly, he had no time to give his Mystic Flower Treasured Bible to his disciple.


    Therefore, although this Peach Fan Flying Bandit had reached True Spirit Realm, he acted extremely cautiously and was known for his tactics.


    ¡°Senior Brother, you¡¯re just going to let them in and steal Master¡¯s treasury?¡±


    The flower dressed beauty said in a charming tone.


    ¡°Ignoring the bigger danger for the small things in front of you. Master excelled in arrays and will definitely have arrays set up in there. Let them be at the front.¡±


    The youth wearing a brocade sat on the pirate ship.


    The third short elder sighed helplessly, ¡°With the two True Spirit Realms of the Transverse Water Stronghold and Severed Blood Pirates there, it¡¯s more than enough to sweep past the arrays in the cave. You really don¡¯t need me¡­.¡±


    The elder smiled bitterly as if he wasn¡¯t willing to participate.


    At the bottom of the river.


    Both parties were having a rest. When one reached 6th or 7th Sky, they obviously didn¡¯t need to consider the problem of breathing underwater.


    Seeing the number of deaths, both Master Bi and the Severed Blood Bald Eagle had slightly ugly expressions.


    It wasn¡¯t that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to warn them, he just didn¡¯t have the time to warn them, and who could give up on the Water Moon Treausry?


    Furthermore, the path back would be several times more dangerous than entering and only those at True Spirit Realm had the confidence to exit safely.


    ¡°Master Bi, we¡¯ve found the location of the treasury.¡±


    ¡°Boss, the Water Moon Treasury is over there¡­..¡±


    The two cultivators at half-step True Spirit Realm who went scouting came back excitedly.


    Hearing this, everyone was excited.


    The two led the group and traveled a small distance underwater before arriving at a dark secret cave.


    Around the cave were several types of vines growing there and only by coming close would one see the cave.


    Only from several yards out would they able to see a faint light in the secret cave.


    ¡°We¡¯re here!¡±


    Both parties were excited.


    Zhao Feng smiled - he had found the entrance back at the shore.


    Of course, the owner of the Water Moon Treasury would have set traps in the secret cave. It wouldn¡¯t be broken this easily.


    At the entrance of the secret cave.


    Both parties stood on each side respectively behind their True Spirit Realm leaders.


    The Severed Blood Bald Eagle was immediately followed by the azure robed person who specialised in mechanisms.


    Master Bi ordered Bi Qiaoyu over to open the path.


    The entrance to the secret cave wasn¡¯t big, but after entering it, it was an entire different place.


    At the beginning, there was some water in the cave, but after entering it, the water started to fade away until there was none left.


    Up to a certain point, a line of mysterious black stone steps appeared.


    The two True Spirit Realms started to inspect and move cautiously around the steps.


    Zhao Feng walked up to the steps and saw a stone sign which was hidden by some weed.


    On the stone sign was three words: Water Moon Cave.


    Everyone was slightly surprised. This was obviously the burial grounds of the Water Moon Pirate but he had made such an elegant name for it.


    ¡°There¡¯s no traps here.¡±


    The azure robed person glanced at the stone sign before leading the path.


    The group of pirates slowly crept onto the steps uneasily.


    Bi Qiaoyu scanned around and after being certain that there was nothing wrong, looked one more at the stone sign.


    Zhao Feng put his hand on the stone sign for a second before slowly letting go.


    Crack!


    A crack suddenly appeared on the stone sign and both the azure robed person and Severed Blood Bald Eagles¡¯ footsteps froze.


    Boooom-----


    The steps suddenly shook and the entire secret cave seemed to collapse.


    The group glared at Zhao Feng with enmity.


    ¡°Junior, what did you do!?¡±


    The azure robed elder roared.


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng¡¯s hand had started up some sort of mechanism.


    Zhao Feng smiled and took back his hand. No one saw a faint palm imprinted on the crack of the stone sign.


    The shaking of the steps continued awhile before returning to silence.


    Only Bi Qiaoyu who was next to him was slightly curious as she was so close, she was sure that this imprint of Zhao Feng¡¯s palm wasn¡¯t left by Zhao Feng¡¯s strength, but under some sort of mechanism.


    ¡°This stone sign is indeed weird.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God''s Spiritual Eye clearly saw an aura that belonged to him merge into the imprint of his palm on the stone sign.

 285 Drunken God Perfume

    Although he was facing the questioning and raging expressions of the group, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel much pressure. The only thought going through his mind was that the strength of the stone sign wasn¡¯t something he could break.


    Then how did the stone sign crack and a light imprint of his palm get imprinted into it?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God''s Spiritual Eye was sure that the moment he reached out his hand, the imprint of his palm had already existed. It would be really hard to realise this if one didn¡¯t look closely.


    Following this, the azure robed person and Bi Qiaoyu both put their palms on the stone sign and a weird feeling arose. However, there wasn¡¯t any shaking like before.


    ¡°This stone sign should be one of the opening points of the treasury and can cause unforeseeable danger.¡±


    The azure robed daoist said as he coldly glared at Zhao Feng.


    This daoist specialised in all sorts of tricks which even made the pirates fear and wary of him.


    After this slight interruption, the azure robed person and Bi Qiaoyu both led their parties respectively to open the path.


    Bi Qiaoyu was indeed a genius in arrays and mechanisms - breaking through many well-made traps on the way.


    However, due to her lack of experience, she couldn¡¯t make decisions.


    At these times, she would look towards Zhao Feng for help instead of asking the elders from the Transverse Water Stronghold.


    Zhao Feng had done some work in arrays and adding on the fact that his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had extreme perception, he could discuss a few things with Bi Qiaoyu.


    Although the elders from the stronghold that knew about arrays were somewhat unsatisfied, they didn¡¯t dare express their feelings because they had seen Zhao Feng¡¯s prowess in breaking past the whirlpools.


    When they reached a certain point of the hill, the azure robed daoist¡¯s footsteps stopped and his eyes twinkled as he sent a message to the pirates.


    Bi Qiaoyu also communicated with the people from the stronghold. ¡°Everyone watch out, there are traps ahead.¡±


    Some of the traps in the secret cave could be disabled, but others couldn¡¯t and had to be forcibly broken through.


    The group walked warily forwards.


    Just as they reached the to, the two stones walls from both sides started cracking and cold metallic circular items appeared.


    These items had countless holes on its body which spun rapidly and shot out silver needles the thickness of a hair on a cow.


    Qiu-- Qiu- Qiu--


    These silver needles were extremely sharp and could pierce through the True Force shield of normal cultivators at the Ascended Realm. There was also a pale green glow to them - they were also poisonous.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    The pirates all used the entirety of their True Force to shield themselves as they escaped.


    The Transverse Water Stronghold group all shouted and formed a defensive barrier to pass through this dangerous zone.


    Ding Ding Ding!


    Everyone used different methods to block these arrows and those at the half-step True Spirit Realm could cause the wind to blow away these poisonous needles.


    Those with quick movement could evade most of these needles and paid a small price to block the remaining few.


    Arcs of lightning surrounded Zhao Feng which perfectly electrocuted every needle that came close to him, turning them into broken black fragments of needles.


    Although these needles were extremely condensed and limited to a ten yard zone, most of the people succeeded to breaking through it.


    Looking back at the position they were originally, there was several bodies with thousands of miniscule holes in them which had black purple liquid running through them, chilling the hearts of those that saw them.


    After passing through the top of the hill, another floor of black and white tiles appeared.


    The mechanisms here were even more skilled, hence, the azure robed daoist as well as Bi Qiaoyu weren¡¯t able to solve it in a short amount of time.


    Crack!


    The ground under one of the experts from the stronghold suddenly broke without warning.


    Not good!


    The expert from the stronghold was just about to circulate his True Force but a golden metallic claw reached up from the pitch black ground and pulled him down.


    ¡°Ahhhh!¡±


    A scream echoed from the hole, but as the black and white tiles once again appeared on that spot, the shouting stopped.


    In this area, the floor would break randomly and metallic claws would pull the people into complete darkness.


    These metal claws were extremely mysterious and could automatically grab onto the closest living being.


    One of the pirates pretended to be clever and floated in midair so that his feet wouldn¡¯t touch the ground but one of the metallic claws still reached up and ripped off one of his legs.


    The space inside the secret cave was limited so one couldn¡¯t fly too high. Therefore the reach of the metallic claw wasn¡¯t limited by height.


    The black and white tiles were very dangerous.


    The speed and precision of the metallic claws was extremely good and even a cultivator at half-step True Spirit Realm was almost pulled into the ground, but was saved by Master Bi.


    Zhao Feng also walked carefully because his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could only barely look through the black and white floor and see the mechanisms below.


    When setting up the trap,the Spiritual Sense from those at the True Spirit Realm had already taken into consideration therefore the floor was very sense-proof.


    ¡°Watch out!¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly reached out and pulled Bi Qiaoyu to the side.


    Crack!


    The black and white tiles under Bi Qiaoyu suddenly collapsed as a metallic claw reached out but twisted towards Zhao Feng after it missed.


    Shua! Ding~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flickered and dodged the claw by a centimetre as sparks flew on the spot where he had just been.


    ¡°Thanks, that trap was very concealed. Even I wasn¡¯t certain of it.¡±


    Bi Qiaoyu stuck out her tongue while Master Bi nodded his head on the side.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s outside help was immeasurable or else with her low cultivation and experience, how would she be the azure robed daoist¡¯s match?


    The azure robed person from the pirates¡¯ side glanced coldly towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This blue haired brat¡­.¡±


    Killing intent flashed through the Severed Blood Bald Eagle¡¯s eyes.


    If it wasn¡¯t because of Zhao Feng, the injuries and deaths of the people from the stronghold would exceed the pirates. However, because of this youth¡¯s existence, it made the two sides reach a draw.


    Every step was harder than the last and a body or two would be left behind at every short distance.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know much about mechanisms, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could keep everything in his sight.


    An hour later.


    Those with cultivation under the 7th Sky, apart from Bi Qiaoyu who was heavily protected, had almost all died.


    At this time.


    A jade corridor appeared which seemed to have no signs of any traps inside.


    ¡°This secret cave is set up like a burial ground. When one reaches here, they can probably enter the centre.¡±


    The azure robed daoist smiled.


    `He had helped the pirates a lot by solving all sorts of mechanisms for them.


    Master Bi praised Bi Qiaoyu and showed some gratitude towards Zhao Feng who was the outsider.


    From the surface, it didn¡¯t seem like the corridor had any signs of mechanisms and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t find anything with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye either.


    ¡°Maybe we¡¯ve left the danger zone.¡±


    The Head of the Bi family revealed a happy expression.


    To be sure, both Bi Qiaoyu and the azure robed person used their hands to knock on the wooden structure of the corridor.


    The wood gave off a mesmerising smell that gave people countless memories.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed because he felt that something was wrong.


    How would a secret cave with about a hundred years of history have such a smell?


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The azure robed daoist¡¯s expression suddenly changed, ¡°The structure of the corridor contains some form of drug!¡±


    ¡°We shouldn¡¯t have knocked these structures¡­.¡±


    Bi Qiaoyu¡¯s small figure was turning soft and her face became slightly red; she couldn¡¯t even stand up properly.


    Both parties only felt blood boil within themselves and were unable to control their bodies.


    Zhao Feng felt a flame burn in his body as Bi Qiaoyu¡¯s face turned into countless thoughts in his mind.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t good. This is probably the Drunken God Perfume. This perfume will cause one to give in to their desires and has double the effect on women.¡±


    Master Bi exclaimed.


    Drunken God Perfume!


    The group only felt their minds buzz and the males couldn¡¯t restrain their lust.


    Furthermore, illusions started appearing in their minds that increased their desires.


    From the pirates, one of the women fell down to the ground and took off her clothes.


    Roar!


    Several pirates rushed towards that woman and ripped off her clothes, revealing snow white skin and the sound of puffing appeared.


    Other pirates stared greedily at Bi Qiaoyu who was next to Zhao Feng.


    Bi Qiaoyu¡¯s face was as red as blood and her figure trembled slightly as she leapt into Zhao Feng¡¯s chest.


    ¡°Ta!¡±


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    At the critical moment, two auras belonging to the True Spirit Realm was released.


    However, the Drunken God Perfume could erode one¡¯s body and mental energy so most of the people only froze for an instant before giving in to their desires.


    Two middle aged men and one old aged man from the Transverse Water Stronghold roared like beasts and lept towards Bi Qiaoyu.


    Sss!


    Bi Qiaoyu¡¯s clothes were ripped open revealing a pair of bunnies that caused mouths to water.


    The Drunken God Perfume could affect both men and women and would make women powerless.


    Zhao Feng only felt Bi Qiaoyu¡¯s not fully developed figure give off an alluring smell as her soft lips kissed his neck.


    Roar! Roar!


    Five to six people from both the stronghold and pirates charged towards Bi Qiaoyu.


    The current situation.


    Even those at half-step True Spirit Realm could barely control their bodies and were on the verge of giving in.


    The Drunken God Perfume even had a strong effect on those at True Spirit Realm.


    If the Severed Blood Bald Eagle and Master Bi were both women with doubled effect, even they would lie on the ground powerless,


    All they could do right now was release their aura of True Spirit Realm and shout at the people or block them.


    ¡°Qiaoyu!¡±


    The Head of the Bi family screamed but even he was barely able to restrain himself. If he couldn¡¯t, he would become one of those beasts as well.


    Master Bi could only hold back two experts from the stronghold.


    The two watched as a group of hungry wolves leapt towards Bi Qiaoyu, the sheep and closed its eyes on instinct.


    At the same time, the woman of the pirate was enveloped by seven or eight men and her snow white figure was almost ripped to shreds by the pack of hungry wolves.


    Just as Bi Qiaoyu was about to fall into endless nightmare.


    Roar Roar!


    Five or six hungry figures leapt towards Bi Qiaoyu.


    Zhao Feng sighed and removed his silver eyepatch. An ice blue eye scanned over the people charging over.


    A chilling mental energy instantly passed through the air and the greedy figures all froze midstep. Even the lust in their eyes seemed to be frozen.

 286 Purple Bronze Giant Coffin

    The limitless nightmare didn¡¯t descend on Bi Qiaoyu.


    The Head of the Bi family opened his eyes and let out a breath.


    At this moment, half of Bi Qiaoyu¡¯s figure was almost revealed as half of her clothes had been ripped.


    The hungry figures who were affected by the ¡®Drunken God Perfume¡¯ had been frozen mid-step and didn¡¯t move at all.


    A chilling intent had passed through their mental energy and doused the flame of lust in their minds.


    After completing all this, Zhao Feng averted his gaze.


    However, a flame started to burn inside his body which almost burnt to the mental energy level as he found Bi Qiaoyu kissing him.


    ¡°This Drunken God Perfume is terrifying - it can even go into the mental energy level. For women, it had doubled effect, meaning that even those at the True Spirit Realm can¡¯t block it.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and paid no heed to how his body felt because he was almost fully resilient to mental energy attacks.


    With a heart as still as water, he scanned over Bi Qiaoyu with his ice blue eye.


    Bi Qiaoyu¡¯s figure stiffened as she regained her consciousness and tried to find a hole to bury herself under.


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly draped some clothes over Bi Qiaoyu.


    ¡°This person¡­ Is his heart made of ice?¡±


    Bi Qiaoyu felt somewhat disappointed and inferior. Could it be that she wasn¡¯t charming at all?


    When Zhao Feng looked at her with his ice cold left eye, it was as if he was looking at a pile of white bones.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared out of nowhere and started to smell the Drunken God Perfume.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed. This Drunken God Perfume was a super strong drug which could even affect those at the True Spirit Realm, so from logic, animals should be affected to.


    He was about to stop it, but he found that the little thieving cat was jumping happily around with a satisfied expression.


    This scene made Master Bi, Bi Qiaoyu and the azure robed daoists¡¯ expression to turn weird.


    As time passed, the scent of the Drunken God Perfume either faded away or was sucked away by the little thieving cat.


    Both parties didn¡¯t have many loses - they were just tired and felt weak.


    The Severed Blood Pirates and Transverse Water Stronghold people sat crossed legged on the ground to recover before progressing forward.


    According to the azure robed person¡¯s analysis, when passing through the corridor, they would reach the centre of the cave.


    However, the corridor was longer than expected and there was poisonous incense which could kill even those at the 6th or 7th Sky.


    The group walked warily forwards, scared to activate any of the deadly smells.


    The corridor came to an end after a hundred or so yards, and a grey river appeared.


    Wait, that river was made of countless grey bugs forming a ¡®bug river¡¯.


    The bugs were about the size of a thumbnail and some had thin wings. They were so condensed and packed that they seemed to be able to engulf the entire world.


    The group all took a cold breath.


    The river formed from countless grey bugs blocked the groups path.


    Zhao Feng looked over and he found a burial ground in the middle of the bug river which had a twenty to thirty yard radius.


    In the centre of the burial grounds, there was a giant ¡®Purple Bronze Coffin¡¯ that was as large as a palace.


    Both parties had wide open eyes and gaped mouths. It was the first time that they had seen such a large coffin.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ we¡¯re finally here. This place must be the deathbed of the Water Moon Pirate.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine how many items are in that large coffin alongside the Water Moon Pirate.¡±


    The pirates started to laugh as they trembled with excitement, unable to conceal the greed on their faces.


    The Transverse Water Stronghold¡¯s side all had shining eyes.


    The Purple Bronze Coffin that was the size of a palace was at the centre of the bug river, about twenty to thirty yards away from everyone.


    ¡°Brothers, charge!¡±


    The Severed Blood Pirates couldn¡¯t hold back any longer.


    ¡°Wait! These bugs should be low level Dead Corpse Bugs which are extremely sensitive to the blood of living beings. Thousand and thousands of these Dead Corpse Bugs can instantly eat all the flesh and blood of a human in an instant¡­ ¡±


    The azure robed daoist seemed to be very experienced and quickly warned them.


    The bugs in the river in front of them were counted by the millions and each bug had an aura comparable to the 1st Sky.


    ¡°Daoist, you¡¯re a Grave Robber Master. Don¡¯t you have any ways to solve this problem?¡± The Severed Blood Bald Eagle asked.


    Grave Robber Master?


    Hearing this title, everyone gave the white eye. No wonder this azure robed daoist seemed very experienced and made virtually no mistakes.


    ¡°Everything with blood will be sensed by the Dead Corpse Bugs. With such a large amount, there¡¯s probably no solution. I have a few packets of powder which can only decrease the chances of being attacked when put on our bodies.¡±


    After saying this, the azure robed daoist took out a few grey packets.


    Seeing this situation, the expressions of the people from the Transverse Water Stronghold all changed instantly.


    With these packets of powder, the pirates would have the upper hand. Luckily, there were only enough packets for five to six people.


    The azure robed daoist snickered: ¡°Only those at the True Spirit Realm have a 100% chance of passing. Those at the half step True Spirit Realm will have a 40-50% chance. As for normal cultivators at the 7th Sky, there¡¯ll only be a 10% chance.¡±


    His eyes scanned over Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng sighed, it looks like the balance that had been maintained by the Transverse Water Stronghold and Severed Blood Pirates would be broken soon.


    ¡°I have a type of ¡®cracking grenade¡¯ here which can explode and blast everything within a few yards radius into nothing. The fire elements in it should counter the Dead Corpse Bugs.¡±


    Master Bi took out seven or eight dark red balls the size of a baby¡¯s fist from his interspatial ring.


    He then gave these dark red balls to everyone.


    Although the usage of the cracking grenades wasn¡¯t as good as the powder from the azure robed daoist, it had instant use and could be extremely useful at the critical moment.


    Some of the elites from the Transverse Water Stronghold soon had a cracking grenade in their hands.


    Because the number was limited, several people from the stronghold didn¡¯t get any and being an outsider, Zhao Feng obviously didn¡¯t get one either.


    ¡°Master Bi, even if I go over, my cultivation will be useless. It¡¯s better to give this cracking grenade to Brother Feng.¡± Bi Qiaoyu suggested.


    Master Bi smiled: ¡°Zhao Feng is strong and he has a bloodline power - I believe he can cross the river safely. After we pass through to the Purple Bronze Coffin. we¡¯ll still need you.¡±


    Being an outsider, Master Bi¡¯s trust towards Zhao Feng was limited and reaching up to this step, his use was already fulfilled.


    Therefore, Master Bi didn¡¯t care about Zhao Feng¡¯s life. Of course, if he managed to reach the Purple Bronze Coffin. it would be best.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s blue hair blew in the air and was extremely lively when juxtaposed to the burial grounds which was full of the air of death.


    He didn¡¯t mind that he didn¡¯t get a cracking grenade.


    He was just curious as to why Master Bi focused on bringing Bi Qiaoyu in from the beginning.


    And now he was even personally protecting Bi Qiaoyu to pass.


    Ceng~ Sou-- Sou--


    The two parties from both the Severed Blood Pirates and Transverse Water Stronghold headed towards the Purple Bronze Coffin at the centre of the bug river.


    For those at the True Spirit Realm, twenty to thirty yards was just a few breaths time.


    The Severed Blood Pirates arrived first with Master Bi who was protecting Bi Qiaoyu behind them.


    After them were those at the half step True Spirit Realm and peak 7th Sky cultivators.


    It was extremely dangerous for these experts to cross the river and clouds of Dead Corpse Bugs covered their bodies and chewed on their True Force.


    ¡°Ahhhhh! Ahhhhhhh!¡±


    Screams came from the bug river as several experts at the 7th Sky were engulfed by limitless bugs.


    Almost every few breaths there were screams.


    At last.


    Only four half step True Spirit Realm¡¯s and one-third of the cultivators at the 7th Sky, which was around 5 to 6 people at the peak 7th Sky, succeeded in reaching the Purple Bronze Coffin.


    Zhao Feng purposely slowed down a bit and arrived with the last group of peak 7th Sky.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I knew you wouldn¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    Master Bi smiled but was somewhat surprised in his heart. The other experts at the peak 7th Sky were all ruffled and even one or two had lost limbs. On the other hand, Zhao Feng was not harmed at all.


    The azure robed daoist was also shocked as he glanced at Zhao Feng.


    A brat at the 7th Sky didn¡¯t have any of his special powder or Master Bi¡¯s cracking grenade should have died without a doubt, but somehow, he had reached here easily.


    At this moment, comparing the two parties, it was obvious that the pirates had a slight advantage as the azure robed person¡¯s powder was more effective.


    Furthermore, Master Bi also had Bi Qiaoyu dragging everyone back.


    After reaching the Purple Bronze Coffin, the Dead Corpse Bugs only scuttled around a bit before returning back to the bug river.


    Next, both parties discussed how to enter this enormous Purple Bronze Coffin.


    The Purple Bronze Coffin looked like a giant coffin, but it was in reality a burial ground palace and there was a large door in every direction.


    It wasn¡¯t realistic to break through the Purple Bronze Coffin as even the attacks from those at the True Spirit Realm would find it hard to dent it.


    Furthermore, using extreme force might activate unthinkable results.


    ¡°Hmmm? Every door has a faint palm imprint at the centre.¡± A pirate said.


    These palm imprints seemed to be fresh and just left behind.


    Of the four doors, only three had these faint palm imprints and the size of each was different.


    The first was the size of an adult male.


    The second seemed to be left behind by a young girl and the third was old and withered, as if from an old person.


    Seeing these palm imprints, Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts spun as he remembered the stone sign with his palm imprint on it.


    The first palm imprint should be his, the second Bi Qiaoyu and the third the azure robed daoist.


    ¡°I understand!¡±


    Almost at the same time, the azure robed daoist and the Severed Blood Pirates exclaimed.


    The stone sign at the entrance was linked onto here and the three palm imprints represented the three keys to the entrance of the Purple Bronze Coffin.


    Master Bi quickly stood in front of Bi Qiaoyu as he understood and looked at Zhao Feng with fiery eyes.

 287 Entering

    The truth was revealed at this moment.


    There were four doors to the Purple Bronze Coffin, and three of them had faint palm imprints.


    The thing was, these three palm imprints were the same as Zhao Feng, Bi Qiaoyu, and the azure robed daoist¡¯s.


    When entering, only these three had touched the stone sign.


    ¡°The layout of the Water Moon Secret Cave is indeed clever.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but praise.


    He was the first one to realise the secret and was the first to react.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng turned into a blurry figure as he darted towards the door which had his palm imprint.


    His actions obviously caught the attention of both sides.


    ¡°Stop him!¡±


    ¡°Slice off his palm!¡±


    The eyes of the Severed Blood Pirates and the azure robed daoist glimmered as they lept towards Zhao Feng.


    The door which Zhao Feng was heading towards was in the centre of both parties.


    ¡°We can¡¯t let this key go to the pirates.¡±


    Master Bi¡¯s heart jumped as his aura of True Spirit exploded as he charged towards Zhao Feng.


    Even if he couldn¡¯t obtain Zhao Feng who represented a key, he wouldn¡¯t allow the pirates to.


    Pah!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t mind the incoming attacks and put his palm on the door.


    Weng~~~


    The moment the door opened, a dark green light enveloped Zhao Feng and a suction force emerged which instantly pulled Zhao Feng into the Purple Bronze Coffin.


    In the next instant.


    The Severed Blood Bald Eagle and Master Bi¡¯s attacks clashed in the spot where Zhao Feng was originally and a chaotic power belonging to the True Spirit Realm hit the green light before disappearing.


    Boom!


    The door shut and the green light turned dim.


    The attacks of the two at True Spirit Realm had missed.


    Both the Severed Blood Bald Eagle and Master Bi had slightly ugly expressions.


    ¡°We must enter before the light fades.¡±


    The azure robed daoist said in a deep tone.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was only pulled in when he touched the green light.


    However.


    The light only appeared for less than a breath, hence the number of people who could actually enter in this short span of time was limited.


    ¡°Only three of the four doors have palm imprints on them so if we send one person back¡­¡±


    The Severed Blood Bald Eagle and azure robed daoist exchanged glances as they discussed.


    Master Bi had also realised that one of the four doors didn¡¯t have a palm imprint on it.


    If they could send one person back and imprint the stone sign, they could get an extra ¡®key¡¯.


    However, the way back was also packed with danger. Even those at the True Spirit Realm had to be careful,


    At this instant.


    Weng~~


    A bright light flashed flashed on the fourth door as another faint palm imprint appeared.


    ¡°Not good! It''s likely that a third party has entered the Water Moon Secret Cave.¡±


    The expressions of everyone from the stronghold and pirates changed.


    The pirates had teamed up with the people from the stronghold to open this treasury, but now the situation had changed.


    Apart from these two forces, a third party had interfered.


    This could produce an unpredictable result.


    ¡°We need to open the treasury before the third party arrives.¡±


    Master Bi said solemnly and ordered Bi Qiaoyu.


    Bi Qiaoyu put her small hand on the door and with a boom, a green light appeared.


    Bi Qiaoyu was instantly sucked in and Master Bi, the Head of the Bi family and another expert at the half step True Spirit Realm were pulled in as well.


    A total of four people had entered from the Transverse Water Stronghold.


    The Severed Blood Pirates also had a formidable party with one True Spirit Realm, two half step True Spirit Realm, and one peak 7th Sky expert entering.


    At the same time.


    The entrance of the Water Moon Cave.


    Three figures stopped at the black steps.


    They were the Fan Flying Bandit, the beauty, and the short elder respectively.


    The youth holding the fan reached out and put his palm on the stone sign for two to three breaths until a weird feeling appeared.


    ¡°It looks like there¡¯s an expert in the group that came inside here. The mechanisms here are extremely concealed and difficult to be found even by Spiritual Sense. One can only see it with their eyes when they¡¯re close enough. Furthermore, the treasury opener must put their hands on the sign for at least two to three breaths to obtain a key.¡±


    The short elder sighed.


    If the azure robed daoist or Zhao Feng were here, they would be extremely surprised because in a short sentence the short elder had solved the mystery of the stone sign.


    Although Zhao Feng had found the stone sign to be weird and touched it, part of it had been luck while this short elder had seen the truth with just one glance.


    Following this.


    The short elder led the way and walked as though he was just taking a stroll. The traps and mechanisms in the way seemed to give him the green light.


    Looking at the row of bodies on the ground, the youth couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°Sir is indeed worthy of being a Mechanisms Master. My Master Water Moon Pirate had stolen a lot of techniques about mechanisms from your heritage.¡±


    ¡°The Water Moon Pirate was extremely talented, but unfortunately spent his efforts on the wicked path. It¡¯s already incredible that he had learnt 20-30% of my line of heritage.¡±


    The short elder couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    The group of three easily passed through the cave full of traps.


    Only till they reached the corridor did the short elder¡¯s eyebrows raise, ¡°This corridor doesn¡¯t seem to have any mechanisms nor traps, but the creator wouldn¡¯t have put this here for nothing.¡±


    ¡°Ehh? There seems to be the aura of the Drunken God Perfume and Master¡¯s 8-Sided Incense Poison here.¡±


    The young wearing a brocade sniffed and laughed.


    The combination of the three was considered extremely powerful.


    The short elder was a Mechanisms Master and might have even been better than the Water Moon Bandit himself. As for the youth and beauty, they were disciples of the Water Moon Pirate.


    Inside the giant Purple Bronze Coffin.


    Zhao Feng appeared in a purple and bronze coloured room.


    There was a table and a chair, and on the table was a scroll.


    As he opened it, Zhao Feng found that it was a map which was in the shape of a coffin.


    The map was split into three layers which represented the distribution of the coffin.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s location was in the first floor of the East side and inside the first room. It was just the size of a small square on the map.


    ¡°Interesting. I wonder why the creator left this behind.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and etched the map into his mind.


    According to the scroll, every layer had a treasury within.


    The treasury room of the first and second layer were at the centre.


    At the centre of the third layer, there was ¡®coffin¡¯ which was seemingly the coffin of the Water Moon pirate.


    ¡°The centre of each floor should possess the most precious treasures of the Water Moon Pirate.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood.


    He put down the scroll then walked towards the second room. The room he was at originally was the starting point.


    However, he didn¡¯t enter the next room immediately and instead, scouted every part of the first room with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    His eye could see through items and was more powerful than normal Spiritual Sense. Nothing could escape Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    At a certain moment.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye focused on the chair.


    In this room, there was only a chair and a table.


    Normally people would focus on the table. Who would pay attention to the chair?


    Zhao Feng thought about it and sat down on the chair.


    Chi Cha Chi Cha!


    The chair sunk two inches down and skidded back three feet.


    Following this.


    A small hole appeared where the chair originally was.


    Inside the hole was a set of teaware including cups and a tea pot.


    Zhao Feng had a weird expression on his face. This planning was too casual.


    He reached out and poured two cups of tea.


    The tea had a slight coldness to it and Zhao Feng summoned the little thieving cat out.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s resistance towards poison was extremely high. It even dared to eat the posisonous bug in the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground and even swallow the Drunken God Perfume in the corridor.


    Using the little thieving cat as a tester was a good idea.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat drank a cup with twirling eyes before nodding its head towards Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng then drank a cup and felt a chilling intent pass through his organs and straight into his bone, making him tremble instantly.


    However, after drinking this cup of tea Zhao Feng felt that his body¡¯s attributes had become stronger.


    ¡°Hehe, interesting.¡±


    After drinking the tea, Zhao Feng carried the little thieving cat as he entered the second room.


    At the end of the second room was another door, but it was closed.


    Zhao Feng stood in the room for a while but the door didn¡¯t open.


    ¡°It looks like we must pass through the rooms door by door.¡±


    He didn''t panic nor feel urgent.


    Once again, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned across the entire room.


    Although Zhao Feng had studied arrays once before, he didn¡¯t know much about mechanisms, which was a branch of arrays.


    The thing he could rely on most was the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see through and inspect every little detail, coming close to even seeing the atoms.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng found five to six ¡®suspicious¡¯ points.


    Mia miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly jumped onto a lamp which was one of the mechanism points.


    Weng~


    The lamp lit up and a book fell down from the ceiling.


    Opening it up, Zhao Feng found that it was a book about the basic of mechanisms. Scanning it with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, the contents were all copied into his mind.


    ¡°Interesting, what¡¯s the point of this? What was the Water Moon pirate planning?¡±


    Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    At the same time.


    The second room of the first floor on the North.


    Boom!


    A smelly and revolting gas spread throughout the room.


    ¡°Cough cough.¡±


    Master Bi who was at the front had his face gassed black and no matter how hard he wiped, nothing came off.


    The others also began choking.


    ¡°Master Bi, you accidentally stepped on a trap.¡±


    Bi Qiaoyu pointed weakly towards the door.


    The second room of the West.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, it looks like there¡¯s rewards and traps in every room. Everything is dependent on strength, eyesight, and luck.¡±


    The azure robed daoist said smugly.


    With his skills, he soon reached the third room and led the way confidently.


    However, the second he stepped into the third room, two metal chains appeared from the walls and wrapped around his feet as fast as arrows.


    ¡°Ahhhh!¡±


    The azure robed daoist screamed as his entire body was hung from the ceiling.

 288 Water Moon Four Treasures

    First floor of the Purple Bronze Coffin.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t strive for pace and walked by the mechanisms step by step.


    Every room had rewards and traps within but because some mechanisms were so precise, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could only estimate what it could do.


    After passing by the fourth room, Zhao Feng had reached the beginner level of the understanding of mechanisms and had comprehended most of the book he had received in the second room.


    This wasn¡¯t because he could learn fast, it was because he had the basic foundations in arrays.


    ¡°According to the map, one would need to pass through nine rooms to reach the centre of the first floor.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    The difficulty increased after passing each door and by using the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng would scan throughout every room.


    His aim was to reap all the rewards from every room. However, by doing this, his speed would be affected.


    When he had reached the fifth room, there were at least six mechanisms in the room.


    Using his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye Zhao Feng could exclude four of the mechanisms.


    One of the remaining mechanisms was in the corner while the other was in the centre of the floor.


    Zhao Feng let the little thieving cat go test it as it had a great sense for danger.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and its eyeballs spun as it focused on the corner.


    Pah!


    It swung its paws and a faint silver blur hit the corner.


    Peng!


    Black smoke rose from the corner and immediately following that, countless arcs of purple electricity enveloped the room.


    The purple arcs of lightning blocked off the room, forming a prison.


    ¡°The lightning here could probably blast normal cultivators at the 7th Sky into ashes.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    If it were another cultivator at the 7th Sky at this place, they would most likely die. Even the chances of someone at half step True Spirit Realm surviving was less than 30%.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t panic because if this was the trap, the remaining mechanism was the reward.


    The little thieving cat shrugged its shoulders. It had its calculations, but they weren¡¯t perfect.


    Luck was too mystical.


    This time, Zhao Feng personally walked over towards the centre of the room and gently knocked on the ground.


    The floor soon automatically opened, revealing a perfect Silver Jade that gave off a cold glint.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s guesses this time were correct. There was indeed rewards in every room and once this reward mechanism was opened, the door to the next room would open. However one would have to solve through half the traps to enter the next room.


    As expected, the door to the sixth room opened.


    The lightning encompassing the room didn''t disappear, hence Zhao Feng turned into an azure streak of lightning and passed through the purple lightning.


    These powerful currents merged into his azure glow.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook as a numbing sensation eroded his body, thus, he quickly directed this power towards his dantian.


    After successfully absorbing the lightning, Zhao Feng¡¯s True Force became slightly stronger.


    Like this Zhao Feng passed through room after room.


    Because of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng could eliminate most of the traps and use the little thieving cat to increase his chances of success.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng passed through the dangers without any trouble.


    When Zhao Feng reached the eighth room, the rewards were plentiful.


    One of these rewards was a Spiritual Pill named the Hundred Changing Pill which could cure most poisons and could only be created by the Water Moon Pirate.


    ¡°The Water Moon Pirate excelled in geography, medicine, arrays¡­ and had countless treasures. No wonder he could do as he wished in Canopy Great Country.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but admire the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s skills.


    The mechanisms within the eighth room had reached ten and after some hard work, Zhao Feng received a weird grey stone.


    The Water Moon Pirate had collected far too many weird treasures which even Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know of.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat ran over, stole the grey stone, and bit it with its teeth, however, no dent appeared. From this, one could see the stone¡¯s hardness.


    Zhao Feng then continued into the ninth room which was also the final room.


    The number of mechanisms in this room had reached 11.


    Through his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye Zhao Feng, disregarded six of these mechanisms and another two through his knowledge of arrays.


    This meant that a total of three mechanisms was left that needed to be tested.


    Although the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was able to quickly find the location of the mechanisms, this had still managed to stall Zhao Feng for a period of time.


    He didn¡¯t want to give up on the rewards in this room.


    While Zhao Feng was testing out the mechanisms, the other two groups also pressed forwards.


    The azure robed daoist from the pirates knew quite a bit about grave robbing.


    The important thing was that they had many people and someone of True Spirit Realm holding the fort and although it was still very dangerous, they managed to pass this.


    From the Transverse Water Stronghold, Bi Qiaoyu was the most talented due to the fact that she had learnt from a teacher.


    On the way, her knowledge increased by leaps and bounds while Master Bi who was at the True Spirit Realm protected her.


    In terms of efficiency, Zhao Feng could be said to be the fastest, easily surpassing the pirates. However, he strived for perfection and wouldn¡¯t give up on any rewards.


    Furthermore, he didn¡¯t specialise in mechanisms and only had the little thieving cat and himself, hence his speed was roughly the same as the other two groups.


    As the three parties were racking their brains out trying to pass the mechanisms, three figures crossed the bug river.


    The leader was a youth who wore a brocade and with a flap of his fan, sent an aura that instantly liquidised all the Dead Corpse Bugs within a ten yards radius.


    In terms of strength, the youth was stronger than most cultivators at the True Human Rank.


    Three figures landed at the front of the Purple Bronze Coffin.


    ¡°People have entered from the North, East and South.¡±


    The short elder only walked a short bit before confirming that their door was on the West, opposite Zhao Feng¡¯s door.


    There was the imprint of a palm on the West door exactly the same as the youth¡¯s.


    ¡°Are we late?¡±


    The beauty said urgently.


    ¡°We should be able to catch up. Of the four directions, the East should be the luckiest. In mechanisms, ¡°East¡± represents the winner. If I¡¯m right, the first people to touch the stone sign should be the person who entered from the East.¡±


    A light flashed in the short elder¡¯s eyes.


    His analysis was correct - Zhao Feng had entered through the East.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if they¡¯re from the East or West. Today we will kill all of them!¡±


    The youth said confidently with slight arrogance.


    The short elder smiled bitterly but didn¡¯t deny this.


    The Fan Flying Bandit was the most talented disciple of the Water Moon Pirate and had countless techniques. Master Bi and the pirates were definitely not his match.


    There was another important point.


    The Fan Flying Pirate had ¡®invited¡¯ the short elder who specialised in mechanisms to join them, and his knowledge of mechanisms even exceeded that of the Water Moon Pirate.


    This combination could indeed wipe everyone out.


    The three instantly entered the West door whose direction was directly opposite Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    The short elder¡¯s speed could only be described as a ¡®miracle¡¯.


    In just a few breaths, he had passed through the first couple rooms.


    ¡°Aye, these mechanisms are a bit rough; the Water Moon Pirate obviously set these up in a rushed manner.¡±


    The short elder seemed as though he was taking a casual stroll.


    The three almost didn¡¯t stop at all even when they arrived at the ninth room.


    Just as the short elder said, the West side wasn¡¯t good. Not only was it difficult, the rewards weren¡¯t that good either.


    The East side was the winner¡¯s side and had an advantage.


    Zhao Feng was the first to leave a palm imprint and therefore had a great advantage.


    Although this was the saying, the short elder¡¯s fingers never stopped.


    Crack!


    The ninth room was passed by the short elder in twenty breaths while Zhao Feng, the pirates and stronghold groups all spent half the time it took for tea to be made.


    This meant that the short elder had passed by nine rooms while none of the others had completed the last room.


    Masters had absolute power and skill within their profession. Even if the Water Moon Pirate came back to life, he would have to admit the difference between them.


    After passing the ninth room, the Fan Flying Pirate and company reached the centre of the first floor.


    Before them was a room the size of a small mall.


    At the centre of the room was a crystal coffin that consisted of rare materials, shining jewelry, and even weapons of the Spiritual grade.


    The items made one¡¯s eyes blurry.


    Any of the items here could light up the eyes of a normal cultivator at the True Spirit Realm.


    However, the coffin didn¡¯t contain any corpse.


    ¡°According to the layout, the first floor¡¯s rewards aren¡¯t the best. The second and third floor¡¯s reward will be even better. Only at the third floor will the body of the Water Moon Pirate and most important and treasured items be there.


    His suggestion was to give up on the first floor and head straight to the second.


    However, the Fan Flying pirate and beautiful girl both didn¡¯t move and instead stared at the treasury within the first coffin.


    ¡°Hundred Flower Sack! There¡¯s a Hundred Flower Sack!¡±


    The short elder exclaimed.


    The Water Moon Four Treasures were four items that helped the Water Moon Pirate immensely while he was alive.


    The Hundred Flower Sack was an item that could create poison and had infinite uses. The Drunken God Perfume was only one of the examples.


    ¡°The Hundred Flower Sack contains hundreds of poisons. Some of these can even trick those at the True Spirit Realm; others can even kill those at the True Spirit Realm instantly. There are also items that could instantly increase one¡¯s strength or give longer life.¡±


    The beauty¡¯s voice trembled.


    The Hundred Flower Sack was the dream of countless people of the wicked path. They could use this to kill people, save people, strengthen oneself¡­ it could do anything.


    Once someone had this item, they had the chance to kill those at True Spirit Realm even if they were helpless.

 324 Six Warlock Divine Sage 2

    Liu Qinxin¡¯s change made the Flooding Lake City Lord joyful and somewhat surprised.


    His daughter¡¯s talent, bloodline and looks were top class in the world.


    On the surface, the Flooding Lake City Lord was the top genius in the Flooding Lake Liu family within a thousand years. But only he knew that his daughter¡¯s talent and potential was above his own.


    However, after Liu Qinxin¡¯s mother¡¯s and her master¡¯s death, she started to like quietness and didn¡¯t like to fight.


    ¡°Who made you change your mind? Is it because of that brat?¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord couldn¡¯t help but be curious.


    ¡°No, I saw Teacher not long ago.¡±


    Liu Qinxin smiled. It was rare to see this smile ever since Zhao Feng had escaped.


    ¡°Teacher? Do you mean the Six Warlock Divine Sage?


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was finally moved. The Six Warlock Divine Sage was as knowledgeable as the ocean and knew how to divine life. Even Empress Qin was his disciple.


    Several months ago, the Flooding Lake City Lord had wanted to invite the Sage to help track where Zhao Feng had escaped to so he could catch him but he didn¡¯t get as he wanted.


    ¡°Teacher divined that at this Sacred True Dragron Gathering, there will be many powerful inheritances appearing. For example, the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance had a chance of at least ten percent and its still increasing. He also said that the Azure Flower Continent will be undergoing a huge change not far away and let me take this chance.¡±


    Liu Qinxin had an expectation in her eyes that was never there before.


    ¡°The Heavens Legacy Inheritance has over ten percent chance of appearing?¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was stunned.


    Everyone knew that the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance was the most mysterious and ancient Inheritance.


    However, the chance of the Heavens Legacy Inheritance appearing was extremely low and it usually only appeared once every ten thousand years.


    Calculating the probability, it was one-thousandth as the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was held once every ten years.


    However, the Six Warlock Sage had calculated that the chance of the Heavens Legacy Inheritance appearing was a hundred years more than the previous one, even though it was only ten percent.


    ¡°Qin¡¯er. You¡¯ve got to grip onto this chance. Dozens of generations might not have this chance. Every time the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance appears, it will change the continents situation. This era will surpass the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯s Era.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was excited. The Heavens Legacy Inheritance only appeared once every ten thousand years and the lifespan of normal True Spirit Ranks were only a couple hundred years.


    In front of ten thousand years, even the lifespan of a Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm was miniscule.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord had attended two Sacred True Dragon Gatherings and he had reached the top one hundred. But in the past hundred years, no powerful inheritance had appeared.


    ¡°Father, don¡¯t be happy too early. This is just divination. At the time, the one to appear might not be the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance.¡±


    Liu Qinxin smiled.


    Northern Continent, Heavenly Yuan Clan.


    In a vast mountain range below the clouds, palaces, spiritual pets and birds could be seen in this quiet area. It was like a picture from a painting.


    At this instant, there were several dozen disciples gathered at a mountain top who were all at least at the half step True Spirit Realm and over half of them were at the True Human Rank.


    The leader was a silver robed handsome youth who stood out amongst the group.


    A divine light seemed to burn in his eyes and his every breath would connect with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. He had an invisible pressure that made the heart of normal True Mystic Ranks twitch.


    All the disciples present looked towards him with deep admiration as if this man was a God.


    He was the Head disciple of the Heavenly Yuan Clan - Mo Tianyi.


    ¡°Great Luo Rippling Blade!¡±


    A late stage True Human Rank blue robed youth exclaimed and slashed out.


    Although this blade didn¡¯t contain any blade intent, it¡¯s profoundness and power was comparable to Tian Yunzhi¡¯s.


    Normal True Human Rank¡¯s would be instantly severely injured by such an attack.


    Moving the Skies and Shifting the Mountains.


    The silver robed Mo Tianyi calmed swiped his hand and a beam of bright light hit the blue robed youth¡¯s Great Luo Rippling Blade.


    Weng~~


    The blade suddenly recoiled and was directed towards the blue robed youth.


    Wah!


    The blue robed youth instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, as if his blade had injured him instead.


    ¡°Hehe, Luo Jin, if you had comprehended blade intent maybe you could fight me. But even if you reach the True Mystic Rank now, you¡¯re not my match.¡±


    Mo Tianyi shook his head and smiled.


    ¡°Senior brother Mo¡¯s ¡®Yuan Mountain Secret Technique¡¯ is indeed worthy of being one of our Clan¡¯s strongest Spiritual grade techniques. Even some at the True Lord Rank can¡¯t comprehend this. Such comprehension is unparalleled in the Northern Continent.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Mo had restricted his cultivation to the same level and had beaten the opponent in one move.¡±


    ¡°This time, Brother Mo will at least reach the top ten and even the top three at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    The elites of the disciples exclaimed and some youth revealed looks of admiration.


    Mo Tianyi took his hand back and said: ¡°At the last True Dragon Gathering, I wasn¡¯t the Head disciple yet and managed to make it in the top 30. Across the entire Northern Continent, only three people had reached the top 30.¡±


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering was held once every ten years and those under the age of fifty could attend.


    For those at the True Spirit Realm, fifty years was only one fifth to one sixth or their lifespan - they still had a long way to go after.


    Ten years ago, Mo Tianyi was not even twenty but had reached such a result. It was hard to imagine how much he had improved in ten years time.


    ¡°Being one of the ten great Clans, the Heavenly Yuan Clan has ten confirmed recommendations.¡±


    ¡°Aye, the competition for these ten spots are too fierce. Just with Inner disciples alone, we have over a thousand and there''s dozens of Core disciples.¡±


    Although the disciples on the mountain were elites, many of them still had worried expressions.


    Mo Tianyu¡¯s eyes scanned through the disciples and landed on a young girl.


    The girl was dressed in purple and had eyes like crystal. Her face was beautiful and her body gave off a weird glow, as if she was a beauty made from ice.


    Although she wasn¡¯t the tallest in the crowd, any youth that saw her face would act as if they lost their soul.


    ¡°Sister Yufei, I haven¡¯t seen you spar for a while, but with your strength, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for you to get a recommendation.¡±


    Mo Tianyi rarely spoke to anyone. He was the Head disciple and across the entire Northern Continent, there were only two great clans.


    There was also a Mystic ice Clan in the extreme North.


    Therefore, Mo Tianyi stood at the peak at the younger generation.


    ¡°This Zhao Yufei rarely appears and was apparently recommended by the Three Yuan side Clan.¡±


    ¡°I heard that her talent is extreme and she has a rare bloodline power. She was taken in as a disciple by a Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm when she entered the Clan and is extremely mysterious¡­ ¡±


    Many of the elites from the Heavenly Yuan Clan looked at the beautiful and mysterious girl.


    Only Mo Tianyi and Zhao Yufei were disciples of the Sovereign.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been comprehending a secret technique and learning from Master, so I probably don¡¯t have the right to attend the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s voice was clear and respectful.


    ¡°Sister Yufei is too humble. Who dares to underestimate the disciple of a Sovereign?¡±


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s voice contained curiosity.


    This Zhao Yufei had entered the Heavenly Yuan Clan a year ago and was only at the half step True Spirit Realm then. How long had it been? And now she had reached the late stages of the True Human Rank and could be ranked within the top ten Core disciples.


    Such terrifying progressment might be linked to her bloodline and after reaching the True Spirit Realm, her Qi of True Spirit was harder to detect.


    Of course, standing at the peak of the younger generation of the Northern Continent, Mo Tianyi didn¡¯t fear any genius.


    His true opponents were the strongest geniuses from the Middle, West, East and South Continent as well as the disciples of Sovereigns.


    Zhao Yufei smiled but didn¡¯t ask to spar with anyone. Two True Human Rank disciples gathered the courage and challenged her afterwards.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s skills flowed like water and every action was pleasant to look at.


    No matter how destructive the Qi of True Spirit was, in her hands, it was easily wielded.


    The first early stage True Human Rank lost within ten moves and the second challenger who was at the late stages lost within twenty moves. Zhao Yufei seemed to win steadily.


    At the same time. On the peak of a mountain further and higher away, a white robed old daoist and a purple robed man were watching the sparring.


    ¡°Hehe, Mo Tianyi, this little brat has already reached the early stages of the True Mystic Rank and has trained the Yuan Mountain secret technique to the seventh level, much better than the last generation. It looks like he can enter the top ten. As for the top three, it depends on his last and the improvement he¡¯ll make in the next half a year as well as our luck.¡±


    The white robed daoist smiled. There was no sign of Qi of True Spirit from him.


    ¡°This Zhao Yufei seemed to have an unusually bloodline. You make others jealous by picking up such a jade by just returning to the Azure Flower area.¡±


    The purple robed man¡¯s voice was low. Although he was extremely close, his figure was blurry.


    ¡°Her bloodline is extremely compatible with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and her whole body can even absorb Yuan Qi. I¡¯ve recently been searching the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and her bloodline seems to be similar with one of the almost extinct races.¡±


    The white robed daoist took a deep breath as his expression turned solemn.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Ancient Races.¡±


    The purple robed man was shocked with disbelief: ¡°Any of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were legends in the ancient era and even the talent of the descendants from the Void God Realm can¡¯t be compared.¡±


    The Ten Thousand Ancient Races was even a legend for those at the Origin Core Realm. It was a legend that belonged to an era far away from them.


    ¡°Even if she only has a faint bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, her future is incomprehensible and can even change the outcome of the continent.¡±


    The white robed daoist¡¯s voice trembled with excitement.

 325 Retracing back to the Ancestor

    ¡°The Ten Thousand Ancient Races belong to the Ancient Era, which is too far away in time from us. I¡¯m expecting to see how much power this bloodline will reach when it¡¯s awakened and retraced back to its ancestor.¡±


    The blurry figure of the purple robed man smiled.


    With the owner''s increase in cultivation, the bloodline inheritance would awaken and even have rare changes.


    Retracing back to its ancestors meant reaching the bloodline power of the person¡¯s ancestors.


    For example, if the ancestor was a King at the Void God Realm, with the retracement back to its ancestor, the younger generation would have the same if not similar bloodline powers.


    The only thing was that after the countless generations, the bloodlines were extremely faint.


    Zhao Yufei, Liu Qinxin, Ao Yuetian and even the Flooding Lake City Lord all had faint bloodlines that weren¡¯t even one one-hundredth or one one-thousandth of their ancestor¡¯s. If the ancestor was traced from long ago, it could even be one-ten thousandth.


    From this, one could see if the bloodline was retraced to even one half or even one fifth of how terrifying power that would be.


    ¡°Currently, Yufei¡¯s bloodline inheritance needs to be inspected first. It¡¯s speciality is that the compatibility with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi is extremely high and the body itself can even easily absorb Yuan Qi. Apart from pure True Force and fast activation, her biggest advantage is cultivation speed.¡±


    The white robed daoist smiled faintly.


    ¡°Although it might be fast, Yu Tianhao of the Middle Continent is without a doubt the fastest. At twenty years of age, he had already reached the peak True Mystic Rank and is named the top genius of the continent, surpassing even the Scarlet Moon Patriarch and Sword Saint Ye Wuxie when they were his age. One has to know that the later stages of cultivation are slower to progress through.¡±


    The purple robed man didn¡¯t find this point special. The higher one¡¯s cultivation, the more bottlenecks there were and the longer time was needed to breakthrough.


    It was not unusual to spend years or even decades for a genius to breakthrough after the True Human Rank.


    Hence, Yun Tianhao¡¯s cultivation speed was at least two to three times that of Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao¡¯s ancestors were all Origin Core Realm Sovereigns and in their family, even Void God Realm ranks have appeared.¡±


    The white robed daoist shook his head: ¡°He was born as a son of Heaven and had the best resources and teaching. Compared with him, Zhao Yufei has only been in the Heavenly Yuan Clan for a short amount of time and as her bloodline power retraces back to its ancestor, her compatibility with the Heaven Earth Yuan QI is also rising.¡±


    ¡°Still rising?¡±


    The blurry purple figure was finally surprised.


    Normal geniuses cultivated the early stages extremely fast and could reach the True Spirit Realm as a teenager. But because they progressed too fast, they might be stuck on a bottleneck for years, decades or half their lives.


    ¡°Yufei didn¡¯t have many resources when she was young and progressed slowly but everything has its advantages. This meant that her foundation was extremely stable and geniuses from far away lands usually have strong ment[a].¡±


    The white robed daoists¡¯ eyes seemed to contain infinite wisdom.


    At the same instant, the Northern, East, South, West and Middle continents¡¯ forces were all preparing for the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    There weren¡¯t many spots for the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Even the Heavenly Yuan Clan had ten spots. The entire Canopy Great Country also had ten spots.


    As for normal strong countries, there were usually two.


    As for the far away Cloud area, after the surrender of the Thirteen Countries, they were absorbed into the ¡®Iron Dragon Strong Country¡¯.


    \---------------------------------------------------------


    _Broken Moon Clan, Sky Moon Mountain._ _Clan Leader¡¯s hall._


    ¡°Mo¡¯er, this is a Propelling Spiritual Pill and although its effect is worse than normal Spiritual Pills and has a big side effect, you have a chance to reach the True Spirit Realm with this.¡±


    Haiyun Master¡¯s handsome face turned into a smile.


    Bei Mo stood in front of him, struggling and hesitating.


    Right now, he was at the half step True Spirit Realm, but the chances of him reaching the True Spirit Realm were low unless he used outside help.


    However, the Thirteen Countries was a poor place and it was hard for a Shedding Spiritual pill to appear once more.


    Although this Propelling Spiritual Pill could help him break through to the True Spirit Realm, its after effects were huge.


    After eating this pill, there was a chance of breaking your dantian, and it could even explode. It was extremely dangerous.


    ¡°Mo¡¯er, do you never want to leave this place? Now that the Cloud area has become the Iron Dragon Strong Country¡¯s territory, as long as you reach the True Spirit Realm, you have a chance to enter the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    Haiyun Master stared at Bei Moi, the most talented genius of the Broken Moon Clan.


    He had surpassed Yang Gan a whole year ago and became the head disciple.


    ¡°Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡­ ¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s fists were clenched and his body trembled slightly. The Sacred True Dragon Gathering was the world stage and the Cloud area was only considered a barren village.


    ¡°Only strong countries have the ability to recommend people. If the Iron Dragon Strong Country hadn¡¯t conquered this country, you wouldn¡¯t be able to even compete.¡±


    Haiyun Master handed the Propelling Spiritual Pill over to Bei Mo. He could see from this that this disciple of his was moved and unable to resist this temptation.


    Bei Moi was a genius from birth and wasn¡¯t willing to be normal and left behind.


    After the Thirteen Clan Alliance, he focused on cultivation and was now one of the top geniuses in the Thirteen Clans.


    This was partially because he had increased by leaps and bounds while other prodigies, such as Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong, Zhao Feng, Ao Yuetian, Zhao Yufei and company, had left the Thirteen Countries.


    If Bei Moi could go one step further, he would be a top prodigy even within the Iron Dragon Strong Country.


    ¡°This Propelling Spiritual Pill¡¯s medicinal power is extremely dangerous and if ten people took it, five would die whereas most of the rest would be crippled. Bei Moi, your fortune will determine whether you¡¯ll be a snake or a dragon¡­ ¡±


    Haiyun Master sent Bei Moi away with his eyes and his expression turned emotionless.


    \-----------------------------------------


    _Broken Moon Clan. In another mountain, at the First Elder¡¯s plac_ _e._


    ¡°Gan¡¯er, your cultivation is stuck at the peak 7th Sky. This bottleneck may be there for years or even decades before you break into the True Spirit Realm. Why not go explore the world instead?¡± First Elder said.


    ¡°This disciple will listen to everything Master says.¡± Yang Gan replied. He had also realized that the bottleneck could restrain him for ten years.


    ¡°The Sacred True Dragon Gathering will start in half a year¡¯s time and with your strength, you definitely can¡¯t attend but maybe you¡¯ll gain some insights from going to spectate.¡± First Elder suggested.


    Even the Iron Dragon Strong Country had two Sacred True Dragon Gathering spots. Yang Gan definitely had no hope.


    ¡°This disciple will definitely go to watch the Gathering, even if the path is full of dangers.¡±


    Yang Gan knew that the journey would be extremely dangerous.


    Usually only those at the True Spirit Realm or elites such as Zhao Feng, Cang Yuyue and Lin Tong had a high chance of success.


    ¡°Hehe, although the Cloud Country is near the edges of the Northern Continent and is somewhat closer to the Middle Continent, you¡¯ll still take a year or two to reach there with your speed. There are even chances of dying on the way,¡± First Elder laughed lightly.


    ¡°This¡­ ¡±


    Yang Gan was depressed. He would only be able to reach the Middle Continent within half a year if he was at the True Spirit Realm, or had a flying steed,


    ¡°I¡¯ve already made preparations. A True Spirit Realm friend of mine in the Iron Dragon Strong Country is preparing to take some disciples to spectate at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, and he will take you as well.¡±


    First Elder took out a letter and an interspatial bracelet, which he handed over to his first disciple.


    Yang Gan was overjoyed and extremely grateful as he took the letter and found that the interspatial bracelet was filled with Primal Crystal Stones and cultivation resources.


    Sending Yang Gan away with his eyes, First Elder¡¯s eyes were slightly teary: ¡°Gan¡¯er, don¡¯t blame me for being selfish¡­ ¡±


    The reason First Elder sent Yang Gan to spectate the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was because he still had a bit of hope.


    \--------------------------------------------------


    _Northern Continent. One of the three great countries, the Canopy Great Country._


    _Thousand Water River area at the Iron Blood Religion Chapter._


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and his left eye became even colder. Within his mind, the freezing pond extended to one point three yards.


    The coldness on his face was even chillier.


    The second change of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had made Zhao Feng¡¯s aura colder.


    With a scan of his left eye, even those at the true Human Rank would feel pressured and cold. With his breakthrough to the True Spirit Realm, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes¡¯ power was increasing.


    He believed that most True Human Ranks couldn¡¯t block his eye bloodline whether it was a mental energy illusion or mental energy attack.


    Apart from that, the Source of True Spirit within his body had fully consolidated and it was even more dense and pure than other experienced cultivators at the early stages of the True Human Rank.


    No one knew that Zhao Feng still had the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit within him.


    The sealing technique came from the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance and existed in a unique way.


    ¡°Once my Qi of True Spirit is depleted, I can use the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s to increase my strength.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the Source of True Spirit, which exceeded his own. This meant that Zhao Feng had two Sources of True Spirit - this was his advantage.


    Under normal situations, the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit could only be used to replenish Zhao Feng¡¯s own. The element of this Source of True Spirit had been changed by the Water Moon Pirate to suit anyone, but Zhao Feng had comprehended the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible and with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s power, he could control this Source of True Spirit.


    After all, the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit was also formed from the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    ¡°It¡¯s better to use this Source of True Spirit as little as possible and only in dangerous situations.¡±


    Zhao Feng took back his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s senses.


    Shua!


    An elegant figure flashed in. ¡°Chapter Leader, this is a letter from the Deputy Patriarch.¡± Die Ye handed over a letter.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as he looked what was inside: ¡°Go to the Capital in a month''s time to compete for the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. In the entire Canopy Great Country, there are only ten spots?¡±


    [a]coming back to this

 326 Pre-ordered Spots

    There were eight major factions in the Canopy Great Country and every one of them was stronger than normal Strong Countries. Apart from that, the Great Country also had other forces including the Flooding Lake Liu family, which was almost as powerful as a Strong Country.


    However, in just a big country, there were only ten spots.


    The Deputy Patriarch gave him a time limit of a month meaning Zhao Feng still had some time.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really worry about the spots, so he focused more on the Sacred True Dragon Gathering itself.


    Those participating were the geniuses of every continent and many of them had bloodlines or incredible skills.


    Currently, Zhao Feng¡¯s forte was mental energy and speed and he wasn¡¯t scared of close combat.


    He had the Water Moon God Peach Fan for close and mid range combat and the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus for defense.


    Now he only needed a powerful long range weapon. Ever since he merged with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng had placed great importance on long range weapons as this could utilise his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    In life and death battles with a complex environment, a powerful long range weapon was a must.


    Half a month later, Tiegan Master finally arrived at the Thousand Water area Chapter. He had departed the second he received Zhao Feng¡¯s letter.


    ¡°Five Elemental Piercing Crystal¡­ Five Elemental Yuan Crystal¡­ Fallen Meteorite¡­ Mystic Ice Essence¡­ ¡±


    Tiegan Master¡¯s eyes lit up as he organised Zhao Feng¡¯s materials.


    According to Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts, he wanted a new bow or to upgrade the Luohou Bow.


    Tiegan Master touched the Luohou Bow¡¯s material and the Ice Lotus symbol with some regret: ¡®Unfortunately, this Ice lotus symbol¡¯s power of ice isn¡¯t strong enough for you anymore. Furthermore, the Luohou Bow and Arrows were Mortal grade to begin with. Their potential has been almost fully utilised.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt slightly regretful as well because he would probably have to give it up.


    Of course, the Five Elemental Piercing Crystal and Five Elemental Yuan Crystal could even upgrade Spiritual grade items and therefore could upgrade mortal grade items as well, but this would be a waste.


    Tiegan Master knew that Zhao Feng had used the Luohou Bow for many years and had a high compatibility with it.


    He turned around and smiled: ¡°I can reforge the Luohou Bow and create a new bow and arrow. I¡¯m confident that this will be better than the original.¡±


    Zhao Feng was obviously happy with this.


    The new reforged Luohou Bow would definitely be different from the original one, but some special traits would be continued and surpass the original.


    More importantly, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to use an entirely new long range weapon.


    After that, Zhao Feng and Tiegan master started to calculate the resources and cost.


    Apart from the Five Elemental Piercing Crystal and Five Elemental Yuan Crystal, Zhao Feng also spent millions of Piramal Crystal Stones on other craft resources to craft the best Luohou Bow.


    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re rich. The cost of making this surpasses even a normal Mid tier Spiritual grade weapon.¡±


    Tiegan Master was very satisfied with the materials. They had reached a level of perfection.


    Zhao Feng left the job to Tiegan Master as he still needed to go to the Iron Blood Religion headquarters and attend the battles for the spots for the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll give you a perfect long range bow in half a month.¡± Tiegan Master promised.


    Zhao Feng relaxed and directed the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus with Die Ye towards the Capital.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s current cultivation and dense Qi of True Spirit, the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus¡¯ speed was comparable to True Mystic Rank experts.


    Within ten days, Zhao Feng arrived at the Iron Blood Religion main headquarters.


    Zhao Feng was immediately summoned by the Deputy Patriarch. Die Ye was also summoned.


    The great hall of the Iron Blood Religion.


    When Zhao Feng and Die Ye walked in, many upper echelon members within the hall including Protectors, Elder and Chapter Leaders looked over.


    Apart from them, there was also a man and a woman standing in the middle of the hall with respectful expressions.


    ¡°Chapter Leader Zhao has arrived.¡±


    When Zhao Feng entered, a bright voice sounded across the hall.


    Chapter Leaders were already the upper echelon of the Iron Blood Religion and many were at the True Mystic Rank.


    Therefore, as Zhao Feng entered, he was soon given a place.


    The nearby Chapter Leaders and Elders even came to greet Zhao Feng. Being the youngest Chapter Leader in the Iron Blood Religion, much attention was placed onto Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, the man and woman in the middle of the hall looked towards Zhao Feng with envy as well as some jealousy.


    Die Ye also came to stand with the man and woman.


    Zhao Feng could roughly guess what it was about.


    ¡°Jiang Sanfeng, Dong Xue and Die Ye are all young genius elites of the Iron Blood Religion. Amidst them, Jiang Sanfeng is one of the ten Stars of the younger generation.¡±


    Someone quickly introduced them to Zhao Feng.


    Jiang Sanfeng wore a mystic gold battle robe and at twenty three years of age, he had shining lights in his eyes that gave people a fiery feeling.


    This person¡¯s cultivation had reached the late stages of the True Human Rank and he was the number one genius of the Iron Blood Religion.


    Dong Xue was a young girl with skin as white as snow and she was twenty years old but had the cultivation of the early stages of the True Human Rank. If this was put in the Cloud area, it would be unimaginable.


    As for the last Die Ye, Zhao Feng was familiar with her.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, Jiang Sanfeng this time seems to have progressed a lot. His Scorching Sun Blazing Fire Manual has probably reached the sixth level. Only one other True Mystic Rank expert in the Religion has trained to such a level.¡±


    ¡°Jiang Sanfeng reached the top three hundred in the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering, but he wasn¡¯t able to enter the True Dragon Genius¡¯ Ranking. Now that his cultivation and skill has increased, the chance of him reaching the top one hundred isn¡¯t low.¡±


    The upper echelons of the Iron Blood Religion discussed in private.


    At this moment, the Deputy Patriarch spoke: ¡°This time, Chapter Leader Zhao, Jiang Sanfeng, Die Ye and Dong Xue will represent the Iron Blood Religion to fight for the spots. Does anyone have any thoughts on that?¡±


    The upper echelons all nodded their heads when they heard this and didn¡¯t disagree.


    These four people were the strongest geniuses that the Iron Blood Religion had and the remaining younger generation hadn¡¯t reached the True Spirit Realm yet.


    Jiang Sanfeng and Zhao Feng were both elites even amongst the same generation.


    ¡°The people named to fight for the spots are now confirmed, but our Iron Blood Religion always has a pre-ordered spot.¡±


    The white haired Regulations Elder smiled faintly.


    Pre-ordered spot meant that the person was temporarily chosen as the person participating in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and didn¡¯t need to go through the complex process.


    One had to know that the entire Great Canopy Country only had ten spots and the eight major forces as well as the countless factions under them had a hundred times the population of the Thirteen Countries.


    With this many people, there were countless geniuses. How fierce would the competition be for the ten spots?


    Therefore, the ten spots needed to be competed for over a long period of time.


    Other Great Countries, Strong Countries and even the Ten Great Clans would need to undergo fierce competition.


    They might be held at the same time or close to one another.


    Every continent was fighting for the limited spots.


    For fairness, most of the forces would undergo rounds of elimination and those with pre-ordered spots didn¡¯t need to participate in the elimination rounds. You would be temporarily granted the spot to participate.


    Only when enough geniuses were thrown out, would those with pre-ordered spots be challenged.


    The problem was, who should the Iron Blood Religion give the pre-ordered spot to?


    Pre-ordered spots were a sign of strength and glory. It was a spot where others believed you had the strength to participate in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch, in the past the ten stars usually took the pre-ordered spots.¡±


    A Elder reminded.


    The ten stars of the Great Country were experienced and had probably participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering before, like Jiang Sanfeng.


    Of course, there would also be new people defeating the older generation and replacing them in the title of the ten stars.


    ¡°The Iron Blood Religion is ranked by status and strength. One can see Zhao Feng¡¯s strength from defeating Tian Yunzhi before. At the same time, he¡¯s the youngest Chapter Leader of the Iron Blood Religion and rules the Thousand Water area. His status is not to be questioned.¡±


    The Deputy Patriarch spoke.


    Hearing this, the upper echelon¡¯s nodded their heads.


    In terms of strength, status and tricks, Zhao Feng was top tier.


    The most important thing was that he was young and full of potential.


    However, there were also some upper echelons that didn¡¯t find it to be accurate.


    ¡°There was several factors that concluded in Zhao Feng defeating Tian Yunzhi. The reason why he also rules the Thousand Water area is with the help of Yun Sha, Cheng Mengzhen and Die Ye.¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t decide with the help of luck. Jiang Sanfeng has been on the seat of the ten stars for many years and has participated in the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering so he is more experienced.¡±


    The upper echelons discussed.


    Both Zhao Feng and Jiang Sanfeng had their own supporters.


    This way, the deciding power was in the Deputy Patriarch¡¯s hand but the blood hair coloured Tiemo didn¡¯t immediately speak.


    Jiang Sanfeng stood in the middle of the hall and felt somewhat unstable for someone as arrogant as him.


    He took a deep breath and glanced towards Zhao Feng with sharp eyes.


    Speaking honestly, this youngest Chapter Leader pressured him a lot.


    His achievements gave him much fame and he was known throughout the Great Country. His position in the Iron Blood Religion was also high.


    Furthermore, the Deputy Patriarch also placed great importance on him.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we let Jiang Sanfeng and Zhao Feng spar to be fair?¡±


    The white haired regulations elder smiled faintly.


    She understood the Deputy Patriarch¡¯s meaning.


    Tiemo could easily decide in this situation but he didn¡¯t.


    ¡°Chapter Leader Zhao, what do you think?¡±


    The blood hair coloured Tiemo¡¯s mouth curled up. He wanted to use this chance to see Zhao Feng¡¯s growth.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and rose from his seat.


    He obviously wanted to get the preordered spot so that he wouldn¡¯t need to participate in that long trial.


    The upper echelon were all full of expectation.


    Boom!


    A stage that was a hundred yards wide appeared in the centre of the great hall and it was enveloped in a deep blue semi-sphere.


    Shua Shua!


    Zhao Feng and Jiang Sanfeng both leaped into the stage.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his body drop and found that this stages¡¯ gravity was ten times more than normal. All his actions became slow and tiring. If it was a weaker cultivator at the Ascended Realm, they would probably instantly vomit blood when placed in this environment.

 327 The Great Country’s Most Powerful Bloodline

    Being in this stage, Zhao Feng found that the arrays here had surpassed his knowledge.


    Gravity arrays were already extremely profound and they touched the laws of Heaven and Earth.


    Ten times more gravity meant that even the action of those at the True Spirit Realm would be restrained.


    It could be said that you were only able to use one tenth of your usual speed and power here.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard of Chapter Leader Zhao¡¯s name for a long time and would like to learn a thing or two from you.¡±


    Although Jiang Sanfeng was somewhat arrogant, he still needed to respectful on the outside even though he wasn¡¯t in the inside.


    ¡°Just do whatever you want.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head casually.


    Jiang Sanfeng snickered coldly in his heart. A brat whose hair wasn¡¯t even fully grown had really believed that he was a figure. From his tone, it was like he was talking to a junior.


    He respectful actions towards Zhao Feng were only on the surface. He really wanted the preordered spot.


    ¡°Sorry.¡±


    A bright gold light started to glow around Jiang Sanfeng.


    His mystic gold battle robe radiated a shining light and before the attack was even there, the fiery hot power of True Spirit had enveloped the stage.


    Scorching Fire Searing Heart palm


    Jiang Sanfeng thrust out his palm and sent waves of blazing Qi of True Spirit that were enough to burn the air towards Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Weng~


    The entire stage trembled slightly. If it was in a normal area instead of the Great Hall of the Iron Blood Religion, a small mountain would have been demolished.


    Zhao Feng only felt the air around him become fiery hot like lava.


    Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s palm was continuous and it smashed towards the vital organs of his opponent.


    Normal True Human Rank experts that didn¡¯t know inside information might be eroded by Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s fire poison if not instantly killed.


    ¡°Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s improvement isn¡¯t small. His Scorching Sun Blazing Fire Manual has reached such an elevated level. Normal True Human Ranks can¡¯t probably exchange even a few moves.¡±


    ¡°In another few years, after he reaches the peak True Human Rank, he¡¯ll be able to become a Chapter Leader.¡±


    Many of the upper echelons admired Jiang Sanfeng, the genius full of potential.


    Zzzzzz!


    A web of lightning appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand and he flung it out like a spiderweb of lightning towards the area in front of him.


    Boom!


    The two powers clashed together and the fire and lightning intertwined, creating a wave powerful enough to instantly wipe out any being under the True Spirit Realm.


    The deep blue water around the stage was like the ocean as it sucked in both the attacks and remained unmoving.


    ¡°The array of water has reached such profoundness that it can absorb energy.¡±


    Zhao Feng scanned the surrounding array. It was like Bei Moi¡¯s Dark Water Inheritance but deeper.


    Shua!


    In the first exchange, Zhao Feng agilely evaded Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s Scorching Sun Blazing Fire Palm which was aimed at his organs.


    ¡°Is it just luck?¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s eyes twinkled incredulously.


    His Scorching Sun Blazing Fire palm could hide its hidden blazing sun power through its vibrations and could hit the opponent¡¯s organs past the skin. It was incredibly hard to defend against.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s movement had dodged his critical attacks. It was Jiang Sanfeng who was slightly numbed by a sizzle of lightning instead.


    Seeing Zhao Feng casually inspect the array, Jiang Sanfeng was angered.


    It was as if Zhao Feng was more interested in the stage itself than his opponent.


    Scorching Sun Blazing Heaven!


    Jiang Sanfeng roared and the next palm caused countless sparks of fire to whistle across the stage. The air on the stage seemed to be stained by flames.


    The water in the air was instantly dried. This palm was full of pure chaotic flames that couldn¡¯t be dodged.


    ¡°Scorching Sun Blazing Heaven, a wide range attack. Let¡¯s see how you dodge it then.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s palm seem to symbolise his limitless rage.


    Shua!


    Lightning coursed under Zhao Feng¡¯s feet and his entire body was enveloped in a light layer of lightning, after which he charged into the flaming sky.


    Wait, no.


    He was charging through the gaps in the sky of fire.


    Xiu!!


    At that instant, the ghostly figure was like a fish swimming through a dense shore.


    The eyes of the upper echelons watching outside the stage went wide.


    The youth inside the sky of fire was passing through the gaps of the flames with the smallest expenditure of effort and energy, successfully evading Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s destructive attack.


    ¡°He¡¯s still able to be so agile under ten times the gravity?¡±


    ¡°To be able to merge the laws of lightning into his movement, wait, no, there¡¯s also a ghostly intent that allows him to move as he pleases.¡±


    The upper echelons were knowledgeable.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng had the absolute advantage in speed.


    ¡°How is this possible? All my attacks, including their routes and movement, are easily evaded by him.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng was finally moved and his expression became solemn.


    Although his Scorching Sun Blazing Fire Palm had high destructive power, it also expended a great deal of energy.


    If this continued, he would expend all his energy before Zhao Feng even attacked.


    Scorching Sun Heart Piercing Spear!


    Jiang Sanfeng took a deep breath as a flaming spear formed on his palm. After it formed, he flung it at Zhao Feng¡¯s chest and it whistled as it flew.


    The Scorching Sun Heart Piercing Spear¡¯s speed was even faster than long range weapons.


    Zhao Feng felt a faint sense of danger and his heart seem to burn slightly.


    Blade of lightning.


    Zhao Feng single-handedly swiped his hand and a small blade of lightning instantly shot out that sliced the flaming spear in two.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s attack, speed and response are all so strong.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s forehead started to sweat as he felt pressured.


    The skill he cultivated had a close compatibility with fire and specialised in offense. However, no matter what he did, he couldn¡¯t hit his opponent. This was extremely infuriating for someone who specialised in offense.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure suddenly split into three.


    The three figures leapt towards Jiang Sanfeng at the same time. Their speed was too fast. A measly hundred-yard-wide stage allowed the three to instantly surround Jiang Sanfeng and attack him.


    ¡°The three are all the same.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s hearts went cold as he couldn¡¯t tell in a short matter of time which one was real or fake.


    Blast of the Scorching Sun!


    Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s Qi of True Spirit sent out waves of blazing flames that was enough to turn a palace into dust.


    ¡°Jiang Sanfeng isn¡¯t his match. He¡¯s the one that¡¯s been suppressed from the beginning.¡±


    The white-haired regulations elder sighed and shook her head.


    ¡°Zhao Feng didn¡¯t spend much energy but is already able to force Jiang Sanfeng to spend vast amounts of Qi of True Spirit for wide range attacks.¡±


    The ancient robed Protector faintly nodded his head.


    Peng Peng Pa!


    The three figures instantly attacked and broke through the waves of fire.


    Bam!


    Jiang Sanfeng wiped out a streak of blood from his mouth and saw two of the figures disappear and then exclaimed: ¡°All three have the capability to attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng had used the secret technique of his Yin Shadow Cloak ¨C ¡®the Yin Shadow Doppelganger¡¯.


    When one¡¯s cultivation reached a certain level, the Yin Shadow Doppelgangers weren¡¯t just used for distraction anymore. They could also attack.


    Zhao Feng was only testing it out this time.


    ¡°Zhao Feng has many powerful treasures, but unfortunately Jiang Sanfeng still can¡¯t detect the limit of his eye bloodline.¡±


    Blood hair coloured Tiemo was slightly regretful. He was interested in Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline.


    Claw of Lightning!


    Zhao Feng wiped the air and a several yard-long lightning claw crackled down like thunder.


    Not good!


    Jiang Sanfeng had barely managed to stand stable before he felt a dominant and destructive lightning aura rush across, and it even trembled and numbed his entire body¡¯s True Force and blood.


    The claw of lightning didn¡¯t only have fearsome attack power, it also had the ability to lock and trap the opponent.


    Jiang Sanfeng couldn¡¯t evade it and managed to thrust out a palm. But the claw of lightning was like an eagle snatching a rat.


    Bam---


    Jiang Sanfeng was instantly hit down by the claw and his hair started to smoke.


    What was more interesting was that after the claw of lightning put him down, it didn¡¯t explode but instead instantly faded.


    Hu~


    The upper echelons let out a breath. If that claw had exploded just then, Jiang Sanfeng would pay a terrible price.


    Luckily Zhao Feng could use the claw of lightning as he pleased.


    ¡°Thanks.¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced at the numbed Jiang Sanfeng on the ground, he then smiled and left.


    ¡°Chapter Leader¡¯s strength is incredible. This one isn¡¯t even close to you.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng managed to climb back up with an ashamed expression. He finally understood how this youth had managed to kidnap Empress Qin, defeat Tian Yunzhi and hold the title of Chapter Leader as well as to rule the Thousand Water area.


    What made him speechless was that this youth¡¯s age was younger than him by a lot.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s age limit was fifty, so Jiang Sanfeng could still participate.


    ¡°Entertaining!¡±


    Tiemo clapped his hands in admiration. Although he didn¡¯t see Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline power, the last claw of lightning was enough to trouble most cultivators under the True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is only sixteen to seventeen years of age but he already has such strength and status. His future is immeasurable.¡±


    ¡°He has the chance to reach the top hundred in this Sacred True Dragon Gathering and in the next gathering, reach the peak of the continent¡¯s genius.¡±


    The Iron Blood Religion¡¯s upper echelon¡¯s exclaimed and none disagreed.


    Zhao Feng had taken the preordered spot with his power.


    A lot of people were surprised, including the other competitor for the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Dong Xue.


    Only Die Ye wasn¡¯t surprised. She had always been at Zhao Feng¡¯s side and knew that the strength that the Chapter Leader revealed was only the tip of an iceberg.


    After the preordered spot was confirmed, Zhao Feng, Jiang Sanfeng, Die Ye and Dong Xue all left together to prepare to head towards the Capital a few days later.


    ¡°Chapter Leader Zhao, I respect your strength and see why Tian Yunzhi lost to you. Only Prince Jin is your match across the Canopy Great Country.¡± Jiang Sanfeng said solemnly.


    ¡°Prince Jin? He¡¯s strong?¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a look of interest.


    ¡°Prince Jin has reached the peak stages of the True Human Rank and is the number one star. He reached the top one hundred last time and his bloodline is said to be the most powerful in the Great Country.¡±

 328 The ball of Ice Soul

    Prince Jin was the Prince of the Imperials and he had a concentrated bloodline that surpassed others.


    At the same time, his own cultivation had reached the peak stage of the True Human Rank and he was ranked first in the stars.


    ¡°With the highest cultivation and strongest bloodline in the younger generation, Prince Jin is unparalleled in the stars.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s eyes became full of wary when he mentioned Prince Jin.


    In reality, he thought that although Zhao Feng was strong, there was still a difference between him and Prince Jin.


    But because Zhao Feng was a Chapter Leader and he couldn¡¯t see his limits, it wasn¡¯t good to make an early conclusion.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head faintly as he made note of it.


    Zhao Feng first stayed in the Iron Blood Religion main headquarters for a couple of days and would then follow the Deputy Patriarch and company to the Capital.


    On the first night, the Deputy Patriarch summoned Zhao Feng.


    In the quiet great hall, there was the blood hair coloured Tiemo and Zhao Feng by themselves.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your strength and growth has exceeded my expectations. The Sacred True Dragon Gathering this time is a great fortune for you. If your luck isn¡¯t too bad, you might be able to make the top one hundred.¡±


    Tiemo smiled faintly.


    ¡°Top one hundred?¡±


    Zhao Feng paused slightly - this wasn¡¯t the ideal placing he wanted, but he knew that the top one hundred was a large gap.


    Those that made the top one hundred were named the True Dragon Geniuses and could gather the continents blessing.


    If they gathered enough blessing, they could enter the Inheritances.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I don¡¯t want to criticise you but Yu Tianhao from the central continent has reached the peak stages of the True Mystic Rank and he has even challenged a True lord Rank cultivator and almost tied with them. Tantan Lanyue from the Eastern Continent is a beast tamer who has three True Mystic Rank beasts under his command. One of them is a One-Horned Earth Dragon, whose battle power is close to a True Lord Rank cultivator. This Sacred True Gathering exceeds the previous dozens of generations.¡±


    Tiemo seemed to see that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t satisfied with the top one hundred.


    ¡°Cultivation at the peak of the True mystic Rank? Challenged a True Lord Rank?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but cluck his tongue. He didn¡¯t know whether it was a fortune or disaster to be born in this era full of monstrous geniuses.


    The number of True Mystic Rank experts in previous Sacred True Dagon Gatherings were low and they were usually only at the early stages.


    But in this era, there were too many eye-catching prodigies that clashed together. No one knew whether they would fall or create a brighter light.


    ¡°Of course, everything has it''s opposites. The more geniuses there are, the stronger the True Dragon Blessing will be. News comes from the divination clans that the chance of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance connecting to the continent is much higher than before.¡±


    Tiemo sighed.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head: ¡°Deputy Patriarch, you can relax. I¡¯ll do all I can in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    He knew his position after Tiemo¡¯s teaching.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be crestfallen. You¡¯re still young and the age limit of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering is fifty. Many competitors are double your age and they¡¯ve participated in the previous Sacred True Dragon Gatherings¡­ ¡±


    Tiemo smiled.


    From his point of view, Zhao Feng reaching the top fifty was the limit. After all, Zhao Feng was young and his cultivation still was lower than the top geniuses of other continents.


    Zhao Feng most likely wouldn¡¯t make the top twenty and he definitely had no chance for first place but after ten years, everything was possible.


    ¡°The more geniuses the better as it can attract more Inheritances.¡±


    Zhao Feng calmed himself down.


    Sending Zhao Feng away with his eyes, Tiemo hesitated and seemed to be making a hard decision.


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    Tiemo suddenly stopped him.


    Zhao Feng turned around curiously. He had also seen how the Deputy Patriarch had something to say.


    ¡°Come with me.¡±


    Tiemo looked deeply at Zhao Feng before turning into the depths of the great hall.


    Zhao Feng followed closely behind without hesitation.


    He didn¡¯t know that this journey would change his destiny.


    After a few corridors, the two entered a secret hall.


    A True Human Rank expert and several peak True Human Rank experts were concealed in the secret hall. Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to sense them without his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    At the corner of the secret hall, there was a staircase.


    Following the staircase down, Zhao Feng felt a heavy aura. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye seemed to twitch as if it sensed something but quickly calmed down.


    The staircase led to an underground palace.


    ¡°You¡¯re here? And you brought a youth?¡±


    A weak old voice sounded from the underground palace.


    Although that voice sounded weak, it directly entered his mental energy.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart tightened. From the aura of the person¡¯s mental energy, it surpassed any True Lord Rank he had seen.


    In the underground palace, tgere was a purple gold bed on which an old man with thick eyebrows lay on top. His skin was dry and no aura came from him.


    ¡°Brother Hong.¡±


    Tiemo went up and casually greeted him.


    The thick eyebrowed man looked at them with questioning eyes.


    ¡°This junior Zhao Feng greets Senior.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately bowed. He didn¡¯t know why but this thick eyebrowed senior in front of him gave a deep feeling which instinctively made him not use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Even a sea was countless times larger than a river.


    ¡°Brother Hong, he¡¯s the youngest Chapter Leader in the Religion in history and he rules the Thousand Water area. He also kidnapped Empress Qin, took the pre-ordered spot for the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and helped me craft the Wheel of Light and Darkness¡­ ¡±


    Tiemo smugly told Zhao Feng¡¯s tales.


    After all, Zhao Feng was the one found and promoted by him.


    ¡°A Chapter Leader at sixteen to seventeen years old? If it wasn¡¯t you, I would find it ridiculous.¡±


    The thick eyebrowed elder¡¯s scanned Zhao Feng and he instantly saw what Zhao Feng¡¯s age was.


    Hmm?


    He looked more closely with surprise.


    Back at the Flooding Lake City, the Flooding Lake City lord Liu Jiutian had also seen that Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline was unusual.


    This thick eyebrowed elder had the same power, but it was even more precise than the Flooding Lake City Lord and Tiemo¡¯s.


    ¡°A very unique eye bloodline and strong source of mental energy¡­ ¡±


    The thick eyebrowed elder looked at Zhao Feng as if he was inspecting a jade.


    ¡°Most of the people under the True Mystic Rank aren¡¯t Zhao Feng¡¯s match, but his eye bloodline still hasn¡¯t reached its full potential or else, at this Sacred True Dragon Gathering, he has the chance to reach the top fifty or even better. I¡¯m hoping Brother Hong will able to teach him a little.¡±


    Tiemo explained.


    ¡°Hehe, do you mean for me to teach him or give out resources?¡±


    The thick eyebrowed elder said irritably, but his eyes still stared at Zhao Feng.


    An invisible wave of mental energy pressure suddenly swished through the air and enveloped Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng felt his heart shake and he felt a pressure that he had never felt before.


    The thick eyebrowed elder had only released a tiny bit of his aura, but it seemed to be enough to crush an elephant.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye sparkled ice blue and the freezing pond within the dimension of his left eye gave off a chilling feeling.


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    The thick eyebrowed elder was finally moved. When he delved further, he was blocked by an invisible cold aura that even froze his consciousness.


    ¡°How long till the beginning of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering?¡±


    The thick eyebrowed elder asked.


    ¡°About four to five months.¡±


    Tiemo answered.


    ¡°So unfortunate, if you brought him here a year or two earlier, the situation would be much different. With my help, he would¡¯ve been able to make the top ten.¡±


    The thick eyebrowed elder said remorsely.


    ¡°He¡¯s only just joined the Iron Blood Religion for a couple months and helped me a lot before. We¡¯ll just sharpen the spear before the battle. Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension should be pretty high or else he wouldn¡¯t be able to reach such a level at this age.¡±


    Tiemo gave him the white eye.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    The thick eyebrowed old man sighed helplessly.


    Shua!


    He flipped his palm and a mysterious ice blue crystal appeared.


    When the ice blue crystal appeared, Zhao Feng felt a coldness seep into his mental energy and it also made his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye twitch.


    ¡°This is a Soul ball from the outside world and it is extremely mysterious. The value of the ball itself isn''t high but it contains some knowledge about the Ancient Dao of the Soul although it¡¯s incomplete.¡±


    The thick eyebrowed elder said somewhat unwillingly.


    Tiemo was extremely surprised - the thick eyebrowed old man had given a rare treasure from the outside world to Zhao Feng.


    After being signalled, Zhao Feng took the Ball of Ice Soul.


    From the Deputy Patriarch¡¯s reaction, it wasn¡¯t hard to see that this item was rare.


    Shua!


    The thick eyebrowed elder expressionlessly took out a ancient book with a few words written on top.


    ¡°Dark Eye incomplete page.¡±


    Tiemo exclaimed as he looked in disbelief at the thick eyebrowed old man.


    ¡°This¡­ senior you¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng uneasily took over the Ball of Ice Soul and Dark Eye incomplete page.


    This was the first time he had seen the thick eyebrowed elder and it was through the Deputy Patriarch¡¯s connection.


    Being given so many important things, he felt uneasy.


    Looking at Zhao Feng¡¯s expression,the thick eyebrowed elder smiled faintly: ¡°Everything depends on your destiny. If you really want to repay me, reach the top twenty in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and if you¡¯re able to get some Elixir of Life, Life Restoring Pills or similar life items, I¡¯ll be extremely grateful.¡±


    ¡°This junior will try his best.¡±


    Zhao Feng retreated with the elder¡¯s wave.


    Sending away Zhao Feng¡¯s figure with their eyes, only Tiemo and the elder were left behind in the underground palace.


    ¡°Big bro, you gave the ball of Soul to him? Wasn¡¯t the previous owner someone at the Void God Realm? And that Dark Eye incomplete page was a forbidden technique in the continent that even you weren¡¯t even able to comprehend. You think he¡¯s able to?¡±


    Tiemo asked curiously.


    He brought Zhao Feng here in hope that Brother Hong would help Zhao Feng, but this help was so big that even Tiemo was hurt.


    ¡°The value of the ball of Ice Soul isn¡¯t high. It¡¯s just that it contains some essence of the Dao of the Soul and was probably a casual item carried by that King at the Void God Realm. I¡¯m not someone who trains in the Dao of the Soul so it¡¯s of no use to me. More importantly, when Zhao Feng opened his eye bloodline, the ball seemed to sense it, as if it was destined¡­ ¡±

 329 Moment of Awakening

    ¡°When Zhao Feng opened his eye bloodline, the ball seemed to sense it, as if it was destined¡­¡±


    The thick eyebrowed elder sighed deeply.


    The ball of Ice Soul had been an item carried by a King at the Void God Realm and the knowledge contained within was immeasurable in value. But this item hadn¡¯t reacted at all in the years that it had been with him. Only when Zhao Feng appeared, did it react.


    From this, one could see that this item had no destiny with him.


    ¡°You¡¯ve underestimate Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline and potential. Even my Spiritual Sense isn¡¯t able to fully understand it. Plus he has fortune with the Ball of Soul and has an immeasurable future. Therefore, I might as well help him to the end and also give him the Dark Eye incomplete page. After all, only those with strong eye bloodlines and mental energy sources are able to have a high chance of success.¡±


    The thick eyebrowed elder explained.


    Tiemo nodded his head in understanding.


    Tiemo and the thick eyebrowed elder had no uses for both the Ball of Ice Soul and Dark Eye incomplete page.


    Zhao Feng had sensed the Ball of Ice Soul and his source of mental energy had fulfilled the requirements of the Dark Eye incomplete page.


    ¡°Everything depends on himself¡­ ¡±


    The thick eyebrowed elder slowly closed his eyes as all his aura, including his life aura quickly reduced.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng took the Ball of Ice Soul and Dark Eye incomplete page out of the underground palace.


    He was wondering what person the thick eyebrowed elder was for the Deputy Patriarch to call him big bro.


    ¡°Could it be¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    In the hearts of many in the Iron Blood Religion, Deputy Patriarch Tiemo was the final decider. However, Tiemo¡¯s position had a word ¡®Deputy¡¯ in it.


    The true Patriarch hadn¡¯t appeared for near a hundred years.


    Legends say that the Iron Blood Religion Patriarch had participated in the mission to destroy the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and he was a competitor in the same era as the Scarlet Moon Patriarch.


    After that, the Iron Blood Religion Patriarch fell into deep sleep for some reason.


    Zhao Feng returned to his place. The Ball of Ice Soul gave off a cold feeling on his palm, but in reality, this coldness didn¡¯t exist. It was only real in the mental energy word, a power similar to sword or blade intent.


    When he saw this for the first time, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had reacted.


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and merged his consciousness slowly into the Ball of Ice Soul.


    Unknowingly, that coldness felt warm to Zhao Feng.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the freezing pond was rippling and invisible coldness resounded throughout the mental energy level.


    Weng~~


    The centre of the ball of Ice Soul lit up. It was transparent blue in colour.


    The core of the ice blue couldn¡¯t be seen with the naked eye as it only existed in the mental energy dimension, but Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was able to see it.


    When touching it, Zhao Feng felt some blurry information and profoundness come from the ice blue core which contained knowledge from a long time ago.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t comprehend most of the information, but some of the profoundness was similar to mental energy techniques.


    ¡°Is this the Ancient Dao of the Soul? Deeper than mental energy and more further away¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng thought and more questions popped up.


    He was certain of one thing - the Ball of Ice Soul¡¯s knowledge was hundreds if not thousands of times more skilled than the mental energy techniques he had seen before.


    Compared to this, the Heart Controlling Technique was nothing.


    Even the Lightning Inheritance couldn¡¯t be compared to the information and profoundness here.


    The only regret was that this thing wasn¡¯t complete and it was only partial.


    Zhao Feng merged his consciousness into it and any profoundness inside the Ball of Ice Soul would take a mortal eternity to comprehend.


    If it weren¡¯t because Zhao Feng had mental energy techniques as his foundation and strong comprehension from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye as well as a large mental energy source, he wouldn¡¯t be able to touch it at all.


    In the blink of an eye, two to three days passed by.


    The intent contained within the Ball of Ice Soul was split into levels by Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The first level, Foundation of Ice Soul.


    The second level, Power of Ice Soul


    The third level, Heart of Ice Soul.


    Of course, the information about the third level was incomplete and Zhao Feng had to spend two to three days to calculate this step.


    ¡°Right now, I can only comprehend the contents of the Foundation.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Even the Foundation of Ice Soul had exceeded Zhao Feng¡¯s knowledge of mental energy.


    Some information flipped Zhao Feng¡¯s view of the world around.


    For example, in the Foundation of Ice Soul, there were records about an existence called the Warlock King.


    The Warlock King wasn¡¯t physically strong, on the contrary, it could be considered weak.


    However, the Warlock King¡¯s Soul mental energy was immortal and a body for him was only a place to stay. Even if his body was destroyed, the Warlock King could instantly switch into another body.


    The Warlock King could have many bodies and coming back to life wasn¡¯t a rare occurrence.


    ¡°The body is the container of life; the soul of the core of everything. The body can be destroyed as long as the Soul is still there; if the Soul is gone, everything is gone.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    For humans, thoughts and ideas were the core, which was the Soul.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, we¡¯re leaving for the Capital now.¡±


    A voice stopped Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension in the morning.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and he was slightly tired, but he was filled with more excitement.


    Time went by too fast.


    Outside, Die Ye waited. Zhao Feng nodded his head and only left a bit of his consciousness to survey the outside while spending most of his energy in his comprehension.


    Iron Blood Religion Great Hall.


    Zhao Feng, Jiang Sanfeng, Die Ye and Dong Xue gathered.


    The Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan descended from the sky and three Protectors came with it.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch, everyone¡¯s here.¡±


    Die Ye smiled and said.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Tiemo in the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan nodded his head.


    The Capital wasn¡¯t far from the Iron Blood Religion main headquarters and the group took less than half a day to arrive.


    When they entered the Capital, Zhao Feng was a little bit emotional.


    Many of the people from the Iron Blood Religion glanced at the blue haired young Chapter Leader.


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly followed and spent most of his focus on the Foundation of Ice Soul.


    He wouldn¡¯t pass up any second or minute.


    He was like a machine that followed behind the group and only said ¡°Ok,¡± ¡°En.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t disrupt him.¡±


    Deputy Patriarch Tiemo smiled faintly and told the others.


    In the Iron Blood Religion group, the blue haired youth followed behind with almost fully closed eyes.


    For Zhao Feng who was comprehending, time passed by extremely fast.


    He didn¡¯t know anything that happened in the outside world.


    ¡°The Emperor has arrived! Empress Qin has arrived!¡±


    ¡°Head of the Liu family has arrived!¡±


    ¡°The Flooding Lake City Lord has arrived!¡±


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng had entered a chaotic environment and then just sat down on a random seat.


    ¡°Who¡¯s this blue haired brat that dares to sit on a preordered spot¡¯s seat and is sleeping?¡±


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡±


    ¡°Blue hair, blue eyes, that¡¯s Zhao Feng from the Iron Blood Religion!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng? The brat that kidnapped Empress Qin? Everyone, let¡¯s go and capture him!¡±


    Chaos broke out below.


    The place was set at inside the Capital with a large space in the middle and seats around it.


    On the East side was the Imperials of whom the Canopy Great Country¡¯s Emperor and Empress Qin had arrived.


    The other forces were the Iron Blood Religion, Liu Family, Qin Sword Clan and other powerful factions.


    In the centre was eight sparring arenas, each a mile squared big.


    At the same time, there was even a higher stand in the centre of the eight arenas.


    Ten seats were placed on the stand that could look down on those below.


    On these ten seats sat ten youths who all represented the ten pre ordered seats of the Canopy Great Country.


    Those with pre ordered seats were temporarily chosen to participate and didn¡¯t need to enter the complex competition.


    The ten seats were all in order.


    On the first seat sat a golden robed brown haired youth who was slightly chubby. His eyes gave off a faint golden sparkle and every breath brought a mountainous pressure.


    Prince Jin, the first star.


    On the second seat was a rainbow coloured youth with chaotic hair. His hands were folded in and hr looked like a gangster.


    Wang Xiaogua, the second star who came from the Wind Cloud Clan.


    On the third seat sat a battle robed handsome youth who had a sharp ancient blade on his black. The occasional light would flash through his eyes and invisible blades seemed to slice through the air.


    Tian Yunzhi, the third star.


    On the fourth spot.


    A blue haired youth sat with his eyes closed as if he was sleeping.


    At this instant, the topic of discussion was this blue haired youth.


    Zhao Feng, an Iron Blood Religion Chapter Leader and a rising genius.


    ¡°So many people¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and exited his comprehension with some tiredness.


    The ten pre ordered spots were at the centre of the eight arenas and around them were the factions of the country.


    Zhao Feng scanned around and saw mass crowds everywhere.


    Sparring would take place in the eight arena.


    At the instant that Zhao Feng opened his eyes, more attention was drawn.


    In the Imperials side, the Canopy Great Country¡¯s Emperor glared at Zhao Feng.


    Empress Qin sat nobly and had the air of a Queen.


    At the same time, the Flooding Lake City Liu family, main Tian family, main Liu family and company had cold looks.


    This was especially so for the Flooding Lake City side where the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s eyes squinted as he glanced coldly at Zhao Feng.


    Liu Qinxin sat quietly like a goddess from a painting.


    Even Zhao Feng started to get the chills from these looks.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we meet again.¡±


    A dominant voice appeared out of nowhere.


    It was Tian Yunzhi who sat on the third seat, right next to him.


    ¡°Hehe, so this is the Iron Blood Religion¡¯s youngest Chapter Leader?¡±


    On the first seat Prince Jin laughed and coldly inspected Zhao Feng.


    The moment Zhao Feng woke up, many eyes with bad intentions looked at him. Apart from that, the other ten stars as well as the competitors all inspected this youth.

 330 The Ten Strong

    When Zhao Feng woke up, he realised that in just a measly years time, he had made many enemies.


    The forces that he had offended included the Imperials, the Flooding Lake Liu family, the main Liu family as well as the Tian and Yun families.


    Zhao Feng had kidnapped Empress Qin and tarnished their reputation. Rumours said that he had even done worse things to her.


    The Emperor looked at Zhao Feng like he wanted to eat his skin and drink his blood.


    Zhao Feng had ran away from the Flooding lake Liu family and forced the Flooding Lake City lord to reach the True Lord Rank.


    Furthermore, both the Flooding Lake City Liu family and Empress Qin came from the main Liu family, so Zhao Feng had also offended them.


    Offending the Tian and Yun family was because Zhao Feng had almost destroyed their number one genius Tian Yunzhi.


    Not only that, he had almost wiped off the Yun side family of the Thousand Water area and forced them to sign an unfair blood contract.


    To be famous, one needed to offend countless people and forces. The price needed to be paid could be imagined.


    But what made Zhao Feng most surprised was Tian Yunzhi.


    If he remembered correctly, Zhao Feng had struck him with the Water Moon God Peach Fan and crumbled his newborn blade intent.


    Blade intent and mental energy attacks were void attacks.


    The one stronger won and Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy source on top of his Water Moon God Peach Fan won.


    ¡°Tian Yunzhi, I didn¡¯t think you¡¯d rise after your fall and the blade intent formed is stronger and sharper than before.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye scanned over Tian Yunzhi and saw what had happened.


    Tian Yunzhi felt his heart freeze as the ice blue eye scanned over. At that instant, his blade intent seemed to be frozen by ice and almost unable to move.


    ¡°This¡­ what¡¯s going on?¡±


    Tian Yunzhi took a deep breath.


    Compared to a month or two ago, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline brought far more pressure upon him.


    In just a glance, it had almost frozen his blade intent.


    ¡°Terrifying, what change has Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline undergone or did he hide his strength before?¡±


    Zhao Feng looked at him once before closing his eyes and continuing to comprehend the contents of the Foundation of Ice Soul.


    The Ball of Ice Soul contained more uses of mental energy and took him to the world of the Ancient Dao of the Soul.


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy technique had reached an entire new level.


    Ever since it had undergone the last change, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had evolved but he didn¡¯t know how to use its full potential.


    The original mental energy techniques were now not enough.


    While Zhao Feng was continuously day and night studying the Ball of Ice Soul ,the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s power was being dug out.


    He even suspected that when the eye was azure, it¡¯s original source of power hadn¡¯t been found.


    On the higher stands in the centre of the arenas.


    The ten pre ordered spots represented the countries ten strongest geniuses who surveyed those below.


    The fourth youth started to sleep again, paying no attention to the outside world.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is absurdly arrogant¡­ ¡±


    Prince Jin¡¯s eyes squinted as it flashed gold.


    When Zhao Feng had awakened, he had greeted him but the former didn¡¯t even bother.


    Being the Prince and the number one genius with the strongest bloodline, no one had treated him like this before.


    Of course.


    Not all the blame could be put on Zhao Feng.


    Firstly, he didn¡¯t know Prince Jin and more than one person greeted him.


    The most important thing was that Zhao Feng was still focused on the Ball of Ice Soul and was like a sponge sucking up water. He only chatted back to Tian Yunzhi for an instant before going back to comprehension.


    At this instant.


    The sparring in the eight arenas started.


    Apart from the ten stars, there were countless prodigies participating.


    Most of the competitors were at the half step True Spirit Realm with a small number of True Spirit Realm experts and 7th Sky Ascended Realm experts.


    However, with Prince Jin and the other ten stars who stood at the peak, most of the battles below weren¡¯t put in their eyes.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s sleeping action was actually extremely intelligent.


    After the rounds of battle, screams could be heard from outside.


    ¡°Jiang Sanfeng is indeed worthy of being ranked the fourth star. He hasn¡¯t even lost a battle yet.¡±


    ¡°That Liu Qinxin is also incredible. Not only is she pretty, she¡¯s also strong.¡±


    The ten with preordered spots discussed with one another.


    Those that entered their eye were only a couple of people.


    Amongst them, Jiang Sanfeng and Liu Qinxin both had ten wins and zero defeats.


    Everyone knew Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s battle power and skill. His Scorching Sun Blazing Fire Manual destroyed every opponent.


    Most of those that met him would give up on purpose.


    ¡°With Jiang Sanfeng being so strong, I don¡¯t understand why the Iron Blood Religion gave the preordered spot to such a brat.¡±


    ¡°The Iron Blood Religion has strict ranks. That Zhao Feng is a Chapter leader so Jiang Sanfeng would probably need to bow when he seems him.¡±


    The geniuses of every faction discussed this question.


    Jiang Sanfeng was stronger than expected and no opponent was his match.


    Many questioned why such a prodigy wasn¡¯t given a preordered spot, but the upper echelons of the Iron Blood Religion held their silence as they knew the truth.


    The battle between Zhao Feng and Jiang Sanfeng was only a couple days ago so it hadn¡¯t spread yet.


    Apart from that, Liu Qinxin was also a black horse.


    She was dressed in white and had an air of elegance to her. She was like a goddess out of a painting and every action from her exuded beauty.


    The way of how she moved this time was different from back at the Flooding Lake City.


    ¡°The Dao of Entertainment is so profound. It¡¯s as if I can hear the summoning of the wind and the chirping of birds.¡±


    A white dressed goddess from the Qin Sword palace closed her eyes in pleasure.


    This scene surprised the other upper echelons of the Qin Sword Palace.


    ¡°Goddess Qin¡¯s mastery in entertainment is ranked as one of the top three in the country and is on par with Empress Qin. This junior¡¯s mastery of entertainment has reached such a high level?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, by merging the Dao of Entertainment into martial arts, every action is pleasurable to look at. Elegant and noble, no sign of charm.¡±


    ¡°I find that this woman¡¯s air is completely opposite to Empress Qin¡¯s, but they seem to have a connection¡­ ¡±


    There were some knowledgeable people here.


    Liu Qinxin was elegant and she seemed to play a song that swayed the hearts of others.


    ¡°Lady Liu, you¡¯re the goddess of my heart. Although I have one defeat, but my heart is in sync.¡±


    A white robed young master, who was at the True human Rank and was defeated said unwillingly.


    Between the battles, her eyes were settled on two people the most.


    One was Empress Qin and the other was Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng was ¡®sleeping¡¯ and he didn¡¯t pay attention to her.


    Empress Qin smiled and inspected her.


    The clash of the two eyesights seemed to be an invisible battle.


    Two days later, the top ten was decided.


    Liu Qinxin and Jiang Sanfeng had won all their battles but they didn¡¯t fight each other.


    ¡°Under normal situation, Qinxin had a 50-60% chance of beating Jiang Sanfeng. Furthermore, Qinxin still has a hidden bloodline and the killing moves of the Dao of Qin and Life.¡±


    The Flooding lake City lord nodded his head, but his eyebrows furrowed when his gaze landed on Zhao Feng.


    He somewhat understood a powerful faction such as the Iron Blood Religion.


    The Iron Blood Religion was ranked by strength and status. If Zhao Feng only had status but not strength, it was unlikely for him to take Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s pre ordered spot.


    Furthermore, the reactions from the upper echelon of the Iron Blood Religion was passive.


    ¡°Zhao Feng managed to beat Tian Yunzhi with the low tricks of the Water Moon Pirate and this Jiang Sanfeng was also defeated by him?¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was happy and worried.


    Although he disliked Zhao Feng, at the bottom of his heart, he still wanted a talented son in law.


    However, being a Chapter Leader of the Iron Blood Religion, Zhao Feng was slowly walking to the opposite side of the Liu family.


    ¡°Next, we will welcome the clash between top ten and the ten pre ordered.¡±


    A bright voice sounded.


    The crowd started to boil.


    On the high stage, Prince Jin and the other stars stood up with smiles as they welcomed the most critical moment.


    However, of the ten with preordered spots, a blue haired youth still slept on his seat.


    While the others all stood up, only he was still on his seat.


    The commentating elder at the True mystic Rank furrowed his eyebrows. Such a thing had never happened before. It was ridiculous.


    Soon, the top ten led by Jiang Sanfeng and Liu Qinxin stood below the stand.


    ¡°The ten of you each have two chances to challenge. When both end in failure, you will lose the chance to enter the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    The True Mystic Rank elder announced.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    The top ten from the competitive entry were excited and nervous. This was the last step - to challenge the ten stars. Not only would they earn fame, they would also have the opportunity to enter the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°Who¡¯s the challenge first?¡±


    The True Mystic Rank elder asked.


    ¡°I will.¡±


    A youth dressed in white coldly said and walked out.


    ¡°It¡¯s the young master of the main Bi family, Bi Jiangqing.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, this young master Bi was lost in Qinxin¡¯s Dao of Entertainment and can¡¯t be withdrawn from it.¡±


    From the crowd came laughter, but most of it was good hearted.


    After all, this young master Bi was handsome, talented and had a caring heart. Who didn¡¯t like him?


    Bi Jiangqing stood on the high stand then scanned his eyes from the beginning to end, past prince Jin, Wang Xiaoguai, Tian Yunzhi and company.


    He knew that he had no chance against number one or two.


    Prince Jin had the strongest bloodline and had no defeats.


    Number two, Wang Xiaoguai, was a monster who fought like a maniac. Even Tian Yunzhi had been suppressed by him.


    Number three Tian Yunzhi had comprehended blade intent and had strong battle prowess.


    As for the fourth ¡®sleeping¡¯ blue haired youth, he was even more ¡®famous¡¯ as he had kidnapped Empress Qin and had apparently inherited the Water Moon pirate¡¯s legacy.

 331 Eye of Ice Soul

    Bi Jiangqing had the cultivation of the True Human Rank and he was ranked 6th in the top ten from the competitive entry.


    This achievement meant that he had obviously crushed countless geniuses under his foot and gathered a light upon him. However, in front of the ten geniuses with preordered spots, his expression was solemn and he didn¡¯t dare underestimate anyone.


    He didn¡¯t have confidence in beating any one of them, and had no hope at all against Prince Jin and co.


    Just to win one battle alone would require a lot of effort.


    Bi Jiangqing¡¯s gaze went forward and back until it finally landed on the fourth seat, where the sleeping blue haired youth was.


    ¡°Number four, it¡¯s you.¡±


    Bi Jiangqing took a deep breath and made a decision with piercing eyes.


    Choosing Zhao Feng had been the result of deep thought and was because of two reasons.


    Number one, of the ten with preordered spots, only Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t one of the ten stars and although Zhao Feng was famed, it was rumoured that he had used the low tricks of the Water Moon pirate.


    This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength wasn¡¯t known.


    Number two, Liu Qinxin.


    In the sparring before, Bi Jiangqing had fallen for Liu Qinxin¡¯s elegance and nobleness.


    Coincidentally, Zhao Feng was Liu Qinxin¡¯s fiance but was warranted as he escaped his wedding.


    ¡°This brat doesn¡¯t know what is love. Even ignoring such a perfect woman. I¡¯ll defeat you no matter what and earn her heart. Then, with my identity as the young master of the Bi family, I will go to ask for marriage, the Flooding Lake City Lord will most likely agree.¡±


    Bi Jiangqing was jealous of Zhao Feng but slightly happy as well.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know what love was and left him a line of hope. He was jealous that he didn¡¯t even care about such a beauty.


    Bi Jiangqing made the decision that no matter the price, he would defeat Zhao Feng.


    He took a deep breath and looked towards the side where a perfect elegant and noble figure in white was.


    But after Bi Jiangqing spoke, it was quiet.


    ¡°Number four, it¡¯s you.¡±


    No movement, no reaction.


    Zhao Feng on the fourth seat still had shut eyes as if he were sleeping. He didn¡¯t know which seat he was on and didn¡¯t know the progress of the competition outside.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, Bi Jiangqing is one of the ten competitors and has the right to challenge you. If you don¡¯t accept, it will be taken that you gave up.¡±


    The judge at the True Mystic Rank¡¯s voice was as loud as thunder.


    When the name Zhao Feng was spoken, the blue haired youth suddenly open his eyes with a puzzled look.


    Below the stage, Liu Qinxin, jiang Sanfeng and the others were all there.


    Amidst them, Liu Qinxin had an elegant smile.


    Jiang Sanfeng couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°Zhao Feng, hurry up and fight.¡±


    Both he and Zhao Feng came from the Iron Blood Religion and his face burnt red.


    ¡°This fucking brat dares to ignore me.¡±


    Bi Jiangqing who stood out had a face full of anger and his fists were clenched.


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in understanding and flashed towards below.


    ¡°This movement is indeed from the Water Moon pirate.¡±


    ¡°The disciple of the flower picker dares to enter the Sacred True Dragon Gathering in the Capital.¡±


    Many people here revealed looks of hatred and anger.


    Some of the older generation had even interacted with the Water Moon pirate before but had lost.


    The Imperials were especially full of killing intent and rage. If it wasn¡¯t because Zhao Feng came from the Iron Blood Religion, there would probably be a group of experts flying over to punish him.


    On the arena, Zhao Feng faced Bi Jiangqing.


    The former was expressionless, but he seemed to have a hint of thought.


    Although they were on the arena, Zhao Feng¡¯s focus was still on the Ball of ice Soul.


    Zhao Feng had managed to enter the first level of the Foundation of Ice Soul and reached an entire new level.


    ¡°Azure Fire Green Sky!¡±


    Bi Jiangqing crossed his hands and his eyes flashed azure as his entire Qi of True Spirit seemed to burn.


    Hu~


    He became enveloped in a layer of azure light and even started to give off a fiery flame.


    What was more incredible was that his Qi of True Spirit even managed to break the barrier of cultivation level.


    ¡°Azure Fire Green Sky is a secret technique from the main Bi family and can only be used with combination of bloodline power. This bloodline secret technique can increase the compatibility in Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and his battle power can at least double.¡±


    The experts from the country saw through it.


    ¡°Not good, Azure Fire Green Sky can only be used by those at the late stages of the True human Rank or else it¡¯ll hurt the foundation and injure his bloodline power.¡±


    The expression of the people from the main Bi family changed.


    In just a short breath, Bi Jiangqing¡¯s battle power rose rapidly and was comparable to Jiang Sanfeng.


    Pa!


    Bi Jiangqing¡¯s eyes became full azure and he charged at Zhao Feng like a god.


    At this instant, the azure flames enveloped the entire area and the terrifying power was enough to move those at the peak stages of the True Human Rank.


    As the azure flames were about to devour the blue haired youth.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you fighting back?¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Qi of True Spirit had no reaction at all, as if he wasn¡¯t even planning to hit back.


    ¡°Bandit, die!¡±


    Bi Jiangqing had a smug expression as his eye flashed coldly, but right at that instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye looked at him for the first time.


    The left eye was like a holeless freezing pond which gave off a chilling coldness.


    Si!


    Bi Jiangqing started to hiccup and even his thoughts seemed to be frozen as his movements slowed down by dozens of times.


    The coldness didn¡¯t exist physically but it came from the mental energy soul.


    ¡°Si.. sii. Ahhh!¡±


    Bi Jiangqing trembled as his eyes turned wide. His whole body seemed to freeze.


    In the gaze of everyone else, his actions was like a slo-mo.


    The freezing of his mental energy made him lose control of his body and True Force as well as bloodline. He was like a baby learning its first steps.


    Bam!


    He was kicked out the arena by the blue haired figure.


    Plop.


    At the instant that Bi Jiangqing fell on the ground, the coldness on him faded by over half. A line of blood leaked out from his mouth and it was warm to the touch.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­ what kind of low trick did you use?¡±


    Bi Jiangqing exclaimed.


    He had given his all and even used his bloodline power to activate the Azure Fire Green Sky secret technique, but he was kicked away without resistance, like he had been hit by a wicked skill.


    Hua!


    The crowd boiled. Most of the people didn¡¯t see what had happened.


    The true deciding moment had been half a breath long.


    ¡°What¡¯s the situation? Why did Bi Jiangqing become a retard at the crucial moment?¡±


    ¡°What trick did that kid pull?¡±


    ¡°Trick? That must be something left behind by the Water Moon Pirate like a poison that¡¯ll make the opponent lose their battle power.¡±


    The crowd started to discuss before turning into waves of asking for punishment. Most of these were started by the younger generation whereas the older generation had solemn expressions.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother explaining and returned back to his original seat to comprehend.


    ¡°As I thought, after the change, my left eye has become affiliated with the elements of Ice and Water. Through the ball of Ice Soul, I learnt how to utilise this power and can even freeze the consciousness of enemies.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    ¡°I¡¯ll name this move the Ice Soul Eye, which is different from the Eye of Illusions.¡±


    From this moment onwards, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline finally went back to its original category.


    ¡®The Ice Soul Eye¡¯ was a power developed through the comprehension of the ball of Ice Soul.


    After the second change of the God¡¯s Spiritual. Eye Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t develop this power but the ball of ice Soul changed Zhao Feng¡¯s destiny.


    Below the stage.


    Bi Jiangqing¡¯s mental energy still had a bit of coldness to it which affected his body and make their teeth chatter.


    His actions, reactions and movements all became slow.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s comprehension and eye bloodline is terrifying. He comprehending knowledge from the Ancient Dao of Soul so fast.¡±


    The Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion was overjoyed.


    On the other hand, the Imperials, Yun family, Bi family and other upper echelons had surprised and solemn expressions.


    At their level, they could obviously tell that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use any low tricks at all and that it was a high level eye bloodline secret technique.


    However, many geniuses present didn¡¯t see the truth and so were disdainful towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, this bandit dared to use a low blow in public?¡±


    ¡°The way that Bi Jiangqing was defeated way too faked. Did the two plan this?¡±


    Some were even suspicious that Bi Jiangqing lost to Zhao Feng on purpose so Zhao Feng could establish his dominance.


    This wave soon passed.


    In a short amount of time, Bi Jiangqing didn¡¯t dare challenge again and saved his second chance while being healed by elders from his family.


    Immediately after, Jiang Sanfeng made his move and challenged number six and won.


    After all, he was ranked number four before.


    After that, the other ten competitors all challenged but ended mostly in failure.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes remained closed and he didn¡¯t care about the outside world.


    Through the practical use just then m, he understood his eye bloodline a bit more.


    ¡°The Eye of Illusion before uses mental energy illusions to trap the enemy and grip their consciousness till their exhausted. The importance is on the world ¡®illusion¡¯.¡±


    ¡°The Ice Soul Eye utilises the cold elements to freeze and harm the opponent consciousness. It has the ability to erode and attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts became clearer.


    His first change of the eye should be the wind element, but he didn¡¯t have the secret techniques to develop it.


    If he was said to now have the Eye of ice, in the past it would be the Eye of the Wind.


    ¡°If I got the ball of ice Soul earlier? my achievements wouldn¡¯t just be this.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly regretful but also happy. While he was fully focusing on comprehension, he suddenly smelled a fragrance.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng sensed this and opened his eyes to see a quiet beauty sitting next to him and smiling at him.


    Liu Qinxin.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    She had challenged number five and won, becoming one of the ten new stars.

 332 Number One in the Great Country 1

    The current ranking on the high stage for the ten stars were as follows:


    Number one - Prince Jin


    Number two - Wang Xiaoguai


    Number three - Tian Yunzhi


    Number four - Zhao Feng


    Number five - Liu Qinxin


    Number six - Jiang Sanfeng


    These six places were pretty stable.


    The spots that were changing were the last few, especially number nine and ten.


    On Zhao Feng¡¯s right was Tian Yunzhi while Liu Qinxin was on his left.


    Because of Liu Qinxin¡¯s arrival, Zhao Feng seemed to be slightly pressured and didn¡¯t continue to ¡®sleep¡¯.


    Liu Qinxin sat next to him quietly with no signs of blaming him and instead, she had a look of joy on her face.


    Although Zhao Feng ran away from the marriage, they were still engaged.


    This meant that the two still had a fiance-fiancee relationship as they entered this competitive area.


    If there wasn¡¯t any surprise, the two would both step onto the true stage of the continent.


    Such destiny was filled with colour and changes.


    Liu Qinxin felt satisfied as she looked at the blue haired youth next time her ith wamrth.


    On the high stage, Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin¡¯s eyes occasionally met. The former was slightly awkward while the latter smiled but didn¡¯t speak.


    Prince Jin, who was number one, squinted his eyes as he scanned them over Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin.


    He became stunned by Liu Qinxin¡¯s beauty.


    ¡°This Liu Qinxin¡¯s aura, looks and talent can be compared to the Empress and she is most suitable for a wife. If I can take her as my wife, I¡¯ll get the Flooding lake Liu family¡¯s support and even pull up the connections from the main Liu family and Empress Qin. The chance of me becoming the Emperor would rise by a lot.¡±


    Prince Jin¡¯s heart thumped as his slightly chubby face almost lost control and laughed.


    The more he thought about it, the more he was moved.


    Firstly, Liu Qinxin¡¯s personal charm and looks were completely opposite to Empress Qin¡¯s but she could be compared to her. Furthermore, she trained in the Dao of Entertainment and liked quietness so she wouldn¡¯t be ambitious like Empress Qin.


    Secondly, the power behind Liu Qinxin.


    After Liu Jiutian ascended to the True Lord Rank, the Flooding Lake Liu family became one of the elite side families.


    After the Flooding Lake City Lord reached the True lord Rank, their overall strength came close to any one of the four main families.


    Of course, Prince Jin didn¡¯t know that Empress Qin and Liu Qinxin had a problem between them that couldn¡¯t be solved.


    However, at this moment, he had made his decision.


    ¡°Zhu Lin.¡±


    Prince Jin contacted one of the ten competitors with his Spiritual Sense.


    ¡°Big bro Jin, what do you need?¡±


    The purple robed youth said respectfully.


    The two started to talk through their spiritual sense.


    This purple robed youth was also a genius of the Imperials and he was fourth in the ten competitors, ranked higher than Bi Jiangqing.


    ¡°You have two chances to challenge. Use one of them to challenge Zhao Feng and scout him out. If I¡¯m not wrong, you have a divine jade that can resist mental energy attacks.¡±


    Prince Jin ordered.


    ¡°No problem. Even if I can¡¯t beat this brat, I can find out more secrets about him.¡±


    The purple robed Zhu Lin said confidently.


    He didn¡¯t have a high chance to beat Zhao Feng, but just to force the opponent to reveal more of his strength shouldn¡¯t be hard.


    Furthermore, he still had a rare soul item for protection.


    Zhu Lin stood out with eyes as sharp as swords: ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯ve inherited the wicked methods of the Water Moon Pirate and are infamous. You still dare to show off in the Capital. Want to have the right to enter the Sacred True Dargon Gathering? Today, I¡¯ll¡­ ¡±


    Xiu--


    Before he finished speaking, Zhao Feng had disappeared from the high stage.


    ¡°What¡¯s all the trash talk about?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s ghostly figure flashed onto the arena with an arc of lightning.


    ¡°You¡­ ¡±


    Zhu Lin stopped speaking as he went onto the arena, extremely infuriated.


    The two looked at each other with dozens of yards between them.


    The judge announced the start of the fight.


    Zhu Lin took a deep breath and prepared himself for Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline attack.


    Wuweng~


    His two arms intertwined as his bloodline power opened and a faint golden shadow appeared on his skin, causing his muscles and bones to increase by a level.


    ¡°Imperial bloodline!¡±


    Exclaims came from below.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye slightly constricted as he found that Zhu lin¡¯s phyiscal body and attributes had risen.


    If he originally had the power of one thousand pounds, he now had one thousand six hundred.


    The rise in attributes was even greater.


    If he could originally take one thousand pound damage, he could now take one thousand eight hundred.


    This was excluding some extra capabilities.


    Zhao Feng was slightly moved.


    Zhu Lin¡¯s Imperial bloodline was slightly better than Zhao Feng¡¯s in terms of battle power and Prince Jin was the one with the strongest bloodline, meaning that his was immeasurable.


    Of course, it didn¡¯t mean that Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline was weaker than theirs. Some bloodlines had their own fortes and didn¡¯t increase battle power such as Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s core was the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and his bloodline was produced by the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Brat, if you don¡¯t make your move, you won¡¯t have the chance.¡±


    Zhu Lin mocked. It was incredibly retarded for the opponent to let him open his bloodline.


    In this state, he even had the chance to beat those at the late stages of the True Human Rank.


    Ice Soul Eye!


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, which was like an endless freezing pond.


    Zhu Lin hiccuped as a coldness flowed inside his soul and heart.


    Weng~


    At the crucial moment, a white jade on his waist glowed.


    But even then, Zhu Lin¡¯s thoughts were weakened by only ten to twenty percent.


    The coldness in the mental energy dimension quickly eroded and extended.


    In under a breaths time, his heart froze.


    From the view of others, Zhu Lin seemed to be like a retarded old man whose actions and expressions were slow motioned. His figure trembled slightly and his eyes was filled with fear and helplessness.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng slowly walked over and kicked out.


    Under the gaping gazes of the crowd, Zhu Lin was kicked out of the arena.


    Before the judge announced the result, Zhao Feng had disappeared from the arena and returned to the fourth seat.


    Wag!


    Zhu Lin spat out a mouthful of blood and his thoughts were still slow: ¡°How is this possible¡­ I couldn¡¯t even take one glance of his.¡±


    Hua!


    The crowd boiled.


    ¡°Zhu Lin had no resistance at all even with his strength and bloodline power.¡±


    Prince Jin¡¯s face was solemn.


    Zhu Lin¡¯s challenge further increased Zhao Feng¡¯s fame.


    In the ten with preordered spots, Tian Yunzhi and Zhao Feng both finished off their opponents with one move.


    The difference was that Tian Yunzhi had formed a blade intent stronger than before and suppressed his opponent with absolute force.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s opponents had no resistance at all.


    As for the number one and number two, Prince Jin and Wang Xiaoguai, no one dared to challenge them.


    The reason why Tian Yunzhi was challenged was because a genius thought that maybe his blade intent was still injured and he could win.


    The competition was entering the last stages and ten spots were decided.


    The first six didn¡¯t change: Prince Jin, Wang Xiaoguai, Tian Yunzhi, Zhao Feng, Liu Qinxin, Jiang Sanfeng.


    Of the last four, three of them were new.


    It was worth noting that Zhu Lin and Bi Jiangqing who had challenged Zhao Feng both ¡®missed out¡¯.


    The two had been attacked by Zhao Feng¡¯s Ice Soul Eye and frozen in the mental energy dimension. Although it could be healed from spiritual pills and doctors, in a short amount of time it wouldn¡¯t fully recover.


    The aftereffects was that their reactions were much slower than others and they obviously had no hope of getting a spot.


    Zhu Lin and Bi Jianging were full of regret.


    The two had both concealed some of their strength in the competition and had a chance to enter the Sacred True Dragon Gathering but because they botg challenged Zhao Feng, they lost the chance to enter.


    ¡°Zhu Lin, I¡¯ll pay you back when I have the chance.¡±


    Prince Jin comforted Zhu Lin.


    He didn¡¯t expect this to happen as well.


    Who would have thought that Zhao Feng¡¯s Ice Soul Eye would be so devastating, freezing mental energy and leaving wounds behind?


    The biggest difference between the Ice Soul Eye and Eye of Illusion was that the former was a mental energy attack whereas the latter was a mental energy illusion.


    ¡°If my Ice Soul Eye is powerful enough, it can freeze the enemy¡¯s consciousness and force the opponent into an eternal sleep.¡±


    Zhao Feng could feel how terrifying the erosion of the Ice Soul Eye was.


    At this instant, the ten spots for the Canopy Great Country were confirmed.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes once more and started to focus on comprehension anymore.


    He didn¡¯t know that the battles hadn¡¯t finished.


    At this moment, the Canopy Great Country¡¯s Emperor rose and said in a low tone: ¡°Traditionally, the Canopy Great Country would always pick a leader of the ten. This leader must be the strongest and stand at the peak of the same generation.¡±


    The leader represented the Canopy Great Country¡¯s strongest genius and glory.


    When they left the country, the leader represented the entire Canopy Great Country.


    Said simply, they were fighting for the number one in the Great Country next.


    ¡°Number one is temporarily Prince Jin. If anyone isn¡¯t willing, they can challenge him.¡±


    The Canopy Great Country¡¯s Emperor had a bright smile.


    Prince Jin was his son, he had the strongest bloodline and he was confident of him.


    In terms of cultivation, Prince Jin had reached the peak stages of the True Human Rank and was only higher than the other prodigies present.


    In terms of bloodline, he had the strongest.


    However, right after the Canopy Great Country Emperor spoke, Wang Xiaoguai and Tian Yunzhi were filled with battle intent.


    ¡°Zazazaza, number one is mine!¡±


    Wang Xiaoguai held a large gold and silver stick and he flashed onto the arena while jumping up and down.


    The people couldn¡¯t help but be surprised, but none of them dared to underestimate Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s strength.


    One could see this from how no one dared to challenge only him and Prince Jin.


    Prince Jin laughed longly and like a golden roc, he flew onto stage.


    Peng!


    The arena trembled slightly. It was hard to imagine how physically strong Prince Jin was.


    Dong!


    Wang Xiaoguai didn¡¯t want to appear weak and so he thumped his stick onto the arena, causing it to tremble.


    His body didn¡¯t seem to have muscles at all, but it seemed to be metal and rock instead. Every one of his actions could move the mountains and easily crush a normal True human Rank.


    ¡°Hmm? Ancient bloodline?¡±


    Zhao Feng was awakened as the faint blue bloodline within him trembled slightly and even felt slightly pressured.

 333 Number One in the Great Country 2

    Wang Xiaoguai strained his head to the side as a purple gold light flashed in his eyes.


    After his bloodline power opened and he waved his stick, the entire arena shook slightly. That devastating power could even kill a late stage True Human Rank.


    ¡°What a powerful bloodline!¡± Exclamations broke out from the crowd.


    Even Zhao Feng woke up. The bloodline power within him had sensed another ancient bloodline and it even felt slightly pressured.


    Zhao Feng rarely met this situation. There were only two possibilities: Either Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s bloodline was very high tier, or his bloodline had awakened and reached a high level in retracing back to its ancestor.


    For example, one¡¯s bloodline could have reached 10% awakening, whereas the other had only awakened one hundred thousandth percent.


    ¡°Hahaha, this is the surprise that our Wind Cloud Sect has brought!¡±


    ¡°Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s bloodline ignited in the past half a year and has been retracing back to its ancestor. Its power is growing daily.¡±


    ¡°It looks like Prince Jin¡¯s position of strongest bloodline is going to be unstable.¡± The upper echelon of the Wind Cloud Sect was smug.


    ¡°Congratulations on the Wind Cloud Sect for having such a prodigy,¡± the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion congratulated the Wind Cloud Sect Leader. In the Canopy Great Country, the Wind Cloud Sect were in the same alliance as the Iron Blood Religion.


    ¡°This Wang Xiaoguai comes from the Wind Cloud Sect and was a monster even when he was young. He fights like a maniac and has powerful strength. After that, the bloodline within him awakened and he received the attention of the Wind Cloud Sect¡­ ¡± Tian Yunzhi saw that Zhao Feng was slightly curious and explained.


    Zhao Feng felt slightly weird, didn¡¯t this Tian Yunzhi want revenge? Back then, he had used the Water Moon God Peach Fan and almost destroyed his future.


    ¡°In this life, I have only met two people worthy of being admired and grateful. One of them made my comprehend my blade intent and the other is you, who made me rise higher after my fall,¡± Tian Yunzhi smiled faintly.


    The blade intent after his fall and rise wasn¡¯t stronger, but Zhao Feng felt that it was more profound than before. No wonder why Tian Yunzhi wanted to challenge Prince Jin.


    ¡°Wang Xiaoguai, although your bloodline has strengthened, you¡¯re still not my Imperial bloodline''s match,¡± Prince Jin said deeply as he crossed his hands and his brown hair blew.


    _Weng~_ ~


    The bones and blood of his body, especially his skin, thickened and a layer of gold light glowed around him. In the blink of an eye, Prince Jin¡¯s figure rose an inch or two and his skin had thickened a bit more, making him look bulkier. Furthermore, a faint figure appeared behind his back.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye narrowed. He could see that the figure¡¯s shape was like an animal.


    ¡°This is the rare Imperial ¡®Golden Boar Bloodline¡¯, which can greatly increase attributes and power. Those with the Golden Boar Bloodline can block the attacks of those at the same cultivation level.¡±


    ¡°Prince Jin¡¯s Golden Boar bloodline has reached a high level and he has a perfect bloodline secret technique¡­ ¡±


    _Peng Dong Dong---_


    The two power specialized geniuses both awakened their bloodline powers and stamped on the arena, causing it to tremble.


    ¡°Earthen Evil Wind Cloud Stick!¡±


    Wang Xiaoguai roared and he waved his large gold and silver stick, creating a purple green wind to sweep a hundred yards in front of him.


    ¡°Golden Destroying Demon Slaughtering Palm!¡±


    Prince Jin howled and a golden tattoo expanded on his palm and was thrust heavily at Wang Xiaoguai.


    _Bam Boom!_


    The two mountainous powers clashed together and the merging of bloodline power with Qi of True Spirit broke through the limits of cultivation.


    It was extremely difficult for one to use power beyond their cultivation, but it wasn¡¯t impossible. The most common methods were secret techniques of burning their Qi of True Spirit but they had high prices.


    Also, they could use powerful weapons, but the energy expended was high and was hard to control.


    Bloodlines were the method with the less after effects, therefore those with bloodlines were beloved of the Heavens that could use power beyond their own.


    Prince Jin and Wang Xiaoguai were perfect examples.


    The battle from the two left holes in the arena. The competitors before hadn''t damaged it at all. It felt as if two giants were fighting as the arena trembled.


    ¡°These two monsters.¡± The sons of heavens from across the country felt their hearts tremble as they saw this.


    Those in the top ten couldn¡¯t help but feel lucky that they didn¡¯t challenge Prince jin or Wang Xiaoguai. Anyone under the peak True Human Rank would be slapped flying with one palm or bashed to death with one stick.


    _Hong! Beng! Boom ----_


    The battle continued and cracks started to appear in the arena.


    ¡°In terms of bloodline power, the two are around the same. Wang Xiaoguai has a higher tier bloodline, but Prince Jin¡¯s has been awakened to a higher degree and has a secret technique with it.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye inspected the two.


    At a certain instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye caught how the two used their Qi of True Spirit and bloodline power. He found that the two had their own ways of using it.


    Wang Xiaoguai was still kind of new to it, but Prince Jin definitely had a complete skill.


    ¡°Aye.¡± Zhao Feng smacked himself on the forehead.


    After inspecting Prince Jin and Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s use of bloodline, he finally realised how crude he used his own. It wasn¡¯t even crude. Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t even learnt how to use it and could only forcefully utilize it.


    Of course, not all the blame could be on Zhao Feng. His bloodline power originated from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, which changed his body. Therefore, he didn¡¯t have any suitable bloodline nor the way how to use it.


    Unlike him, Prince Jin had a complete secret technique made for his bloodline. After all, the Imperials¡¯ bloodline was perfected after generation after generation.


    ¡°En, it¡¯s still not too late.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye inspected how the two used their bloodlines.


    Prince Jin had extremely mastered his, whereas Wang Xiaoguai hadn¡¯t, maybe because his bloodline was rare. However, even then he was better than Zhao Feng.


    Firstly, Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s bloodline was natural and his body had adapted to it.


    Secondly, when his bloodline had awakened, he had been given advice by those from the Wind Cloud Sect.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng had come from a faraway place where blood lines were rare.


    After inspecting them, Zhao Feng analyzed how to use bloodlines.


    ¡°Prince Jin and Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s bloodlines belong to the power type and have uncertain elements, but some bloodlines increase speed, explosiveness, and even have elements¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng thought about the bloodlines that he had seen. Bi Jiangqing had an elemental bloodline that could activate the azure green flames.


    Then what about Zhao Feng himself?


    ¡°My bloodline should be based on the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. It used to be azure, but now it¡¯s blue meaning that my current bloodline element should be biased towards ice.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and comprehended.


    Within the depths of his body, the lines of blue blood moved in a certain flow and merged with the Qi of True Spirit, and his blood and bones.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions came from studying Prince Jin and Wang Xiaoguai. Prince Jin had a more complete skill, whereas Wang Xiaoguai had an ancient bloodline.


    _Weng~_


    The faint blue blood within the depths of Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline merged with the Qi of True Spirit in his Source of True Spirit and his blood, bones, and flesh.


    Instantly, balls of blue and azure air were created in Zhao Feng¡¯s body that gave off a slightly electrical feel and coldness.


    ¡°So simple? Looks like the slight difference in a piece of paper can be similar to a mountain.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. His bloodline bottleneck had finally broken through.


    With his more familiar use, the faint blue blood within him could be moved to every corner within his body. Every movement made Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power denser.


    Zhao Feng soon completed a circuit and with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye as the core, he circulated the bloodline power around his flesh, bones, and blood.


    With every complete circuit, he found that the bloodline power within him was strengthening. It was like a man with infinite power finally realizing how to dig.


    ¡°This aura¡­¡±


    Liu Qinxin and Tian Yunzhi on his left and right felt the bloodline aura from Zhao Feng and their own bloodlines started to tremble uneasily.


    Tian Yunzhi¡¯s bloodline was a combination of two bloodlines and it was obviously powerful. Liu Qinxin¡¯s bloodline was more mysterious and unique.


    Time passed by.


    On the arena, Prince Jin and Wang Xiaoguai fought fiercely as if the heavens and mountains were crumbling.


    Zhao Feng had entered a state which made a cold blue tattoo glow on his skin.


    _An hour later..._


    ¡°The first step¡¯s done.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as his bloodline power faded away.


    At this moment in time, his bloodline power was more than twice as strong as before. It was like a jade that had been refined, shining with its flawless light.


    ¡°Eh? Still fighting?¡± Zhao Feng opened his eyes with surprise. These two had fought over an hour already.


    _Crack--_ -


    The arena suddenly made a sound and it split into pieces as smoke rose into the air.


    Both Prince Jin and Wang Xiaoguai condensed their power and unleashed their devastating attacks.


    _Bam! Bam!_


    The two figures flew out. A streak of blood leaked from Prince Jin¡¯s mouth, whereas Wang Xiaoguai spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye quickly analyzed the fight.


    In terms of battle power, the two were on par and in terms of offense, Wang Xiaoguai was slightly stronger. But Prince Jin¡¯s Golden Boar Bloodline¡¯s defense was too strong. It was said that it could block the attacks of several of those at the same cultivation. Therefore, he was injured slightly less.


    ¡°Not good!¡± The crowd broke out into chaos.


    While the two retreated, they brought the remaining shockwave with them, which was stronger than any one attack from the two. Those under the True Mystic Rank would probably not survive.


    Prince Jin¡¯s path of retreat was the high stage where the ten stars were.


    ¡°I¡¯ll use this chance to kill Zhao Feng.¡± Prince Jin purposely pretended that he couldn¡¯t stop his retreat and brought his Golden Boar figure and shockwave towards Zhao Feng.


    _Not good!_


    Liu Qinxin, Tian Yunzhi, and company were unprepared. However, how could Prince Jin¡¯s path escape Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye?


    ¡°Fuck off!¡± Zhao Feng roared and used his bloodline power in a certain way that pushed forwards.


    _Pa!_


    He shot out a palm and at the instant that palm was shot out, a faint blue figure appeared behind Zhao Feng as if it had come from the ancient era.


    _Boom---_


    The palm of lightning and cold blue light of chilling intent hit Prince Jin with a ¡® _bam¡¯_.

 334 Number One of the Country 3

    _Bam--_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s palm howled with wind and ice. There was a faint glow to it full of a bone-chilling cold.


    Next to him, Tian Yunzhi and Liu Qinxin stared behind Zhao Feng with stunned expressions.


    When Zhao Feng activated his bloodline power, a blurry icy blue figure had appeared behind him. It looked like a god from the ancient era.


    The charging Prince Jin could only take this hit from Zhao Feng head on.


    _Peng!_


    Lightning arcs flew everywhere and the glow of light exploded as it enveloped Prince Jin.


    _Wah!_


    Prince Jin spat out a mouthful of blood, but it froze in his mouth. Even with his terrifying attributes, a chilling coldness spread across his body, causing his teeth to chatter.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± Prince Jin was now more injured than before and his blood was freezing. Even his bloodline and Qi of True Spirit showed signs of freezing. Circulating them was already extremely hard.


    Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Prince Jin was enveloped in a layer of ice and his body became clumsy and cold.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, why did you attack me?¡± Prince Jin roared as he accused first, while secretly activating his bloodline power and Qi of True Spirit to dissolve the devastating cold.


    _Shua!_


    The blue haired youth flashed next to Prince Jin without saying anything and kicked out.


    _Pa!_


    Prince Jin was kicked out from the high stage, and his bulky figure flew out dozens of yards.


    _Plop!_


    The moment Prince Jin landed on the ground, he spat out another mouthful of blood, whether it was due to injury or anger was uncertain.


    The experts gathered around looked at this with wide eyes and gaping mouths.


    ¡°This kid has such a pure ancient bloodline and he seems to be even slightly stronger than Prince Jin.¡±


    ¡°The bloodline increase is comparable to Prince Jin and Wang Xiaoguai, but it has a mysterious ice element.¡±


    ¡°What bloodline does that figure behind his back represent? Could it be one of the Great Ancient Ten Thousand Races? But that¡¯s not possible!¡±


    The experts from across the country exclaimed and analyzed.


    ¡°Through the secret technique to open the bloodline, the power of it has increased by more than a level and the bloodline attacks contain the element of ice.¡±


    The palm just then could threaten those at the True Mystic Rank, and normal True Human Rankers would turn into ice.


    If it had been the Fan Flying Bandit, he would have had no chance of escaping this time. Bloodline prodigies were indeed sons of Heaven.


    Of course, the defense from the Golden Boar bloodline was stronger than what had Zhao Feng expected. The opponent had taken one palm head on and although he was slightly injured, he received no critical damage. It was worthy of being the country¡¯s strongest bloodline.


    And this was after Prince Jin had fought a long battle, as well!


    ¡°Zhao Feng, what kind of hero attacks someone behind their back? If you have the guts, let''s fight head on.¡± Prince Jin crawled up from the ground, his heart full of hatred and anger.


    He had originally wanted to kill Zhao Feng, but he didn¡¯t expect the latter¡¯s reaction to be so fast, he even activated his bloodline power!


    ¡°Hehe, do you really dare fight me now?¡± A playful smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips.


    ¡°You¡­¡± Prince Jin stopped speaking with an ugly expression.


    In his current state, he was injured and had expended a lot of bloodline power and Qi of True Spirit, giving him no confidence in beating Zhao Feng. The bloodline attack from Zhao Feng just then had stunned him.


    That move had broken through his bloodline defense and contained ice power which eroded his blood and slowed the circulation of his Qi of True Spirit and bloodline. If Zhao Feng had thrust out dozens of palms instead of just one, the result would have been unimaginable.


    ¡°Shameless bastards, this Prince won¡¯t be tricked by you. I¡¯ll fight you when I¡¯ve recovered," Prince Jin roared, as he felt as if he had lost face.


    If he really pretended to be a hero, the chance of him being defeated was higher than winning.


    ¡°Zhao Feng...this bastard has such a strong bloodline. Under peak conditions, Prince Jin might not be his match.¡±


    ¡°Jin¡¯ers bloodline specializes around strength and defense, not speed. Once they fight, Zhao Feng will be able to counter him.¡±


    The Elders of the upper echelon from the Imperials discussed among themselves.


    ¡°Prince Jin isn¡¯t his match unless he uses a forbidden skill without regards to paying the price¡­¡± Empress Qin sighed as she looked at Zhao Feng solemnly.


    Zhao Feng specialized in speed, and his bloodline power contained the ice element, which could restrict the movement and speed of his opponent. Once they fought, Prince Jin might have no chance of fighting back.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ he doesn¡¯t dare fight you, but I do!¡± An excited laugh came from the other side. The person who spoke was Wang Xiaoguai.


    Although Wang Xiaoguai was injured, he always fought like a maniac. Plus his bloodline was extremely unique and it would increase his battle power the more injured he got.


    Therefore, not many were willing to exchange blows with Wang Xiaoguai, and even Tian Yunzhi who had risen after his fall was slightly weaker than him.


    Only Prince Jin when he had activated the Golden Boar bloodline''s monstrous defense could clash with Wang Xiaoguai.


    ¡°This Wang Xiaoguai¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, but he didn¡¯t move. The other¡¯s bloodline was unique and the more injured he got, the stronger his battle power became.


    ¡°Blue hair, you seem to be even stronger than Prince Jin. Come and fight!¡± Wang Xiaoguai jumped up and down and yelled on the destroyed arena.


    ¡°Bastard Zhao Feng fight!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng can only do sneak attacks. If you have the skill, come and fight fairly.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, this bitch just attacked Prince Jin just then, but now has become a turtle.¡±


    The geniuses who were watching called out their taunts.


    The person they were calling out was a youth at seventeen years of age who was famed throughout the country. Received the Water Moon Treasury¡­kidnapped Empress Qin¡­the Iron Blood religion¡¯s youngest Chapter Leader¡­ruled the Thousand Water River area.


    Now, there were signs that he could reach the number one genius spot in the country. Achieving so much at such a young age made the other geniuses become red-eyed.


    However, Zhao Feng sat on the seat and closed his eyes. He had just used his bloodline power and was still perfecting it. Although Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could copy some simple moves, the things of others would always be others and not the most suitable for him.


    ¡°Blue haired kid, you have to fight even if you don¡¯t want to.¡± Wang Xiaoguai laughed and waved his gold and silver stick towards Zhao Feng.


    The Imperials and regulating team purposely didn¡¯t stop this and had gloating smiles at the corner of their mouths.


    ¡°Xiaoguai, don¡¯t cause troubles. Zhao Feng comes from the Iron Blood Religion and is our Wind Cloud Sect¡¯s ally!¡± The Wind Cloud Sect Leader¡¯s expression changed as he spoke up.


    However, Wang Xiaoguai had entered a frenzied state and he didn¡¯t listen to anything. His nature was so and he often didn¡¯t listen to his elders.


    Eye of Illusion! Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was activated. His faint blue left eye released an endless freezing pond.


    Facing these monstrous physically powerful opponents, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to take them head on.


    _Shua!_


    Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s consciousness went cold as a chill seeped into his mind.


    Half a breath, one breath, one and a half breaths¡­


    _Plop._


    Wang Xiaoguai went down to one knee, drenched in cold sweat. He grit his teeth and stared at Zhao Feng in wariness and shock. ¡°You¡­¡±


    He had been tortured by Zhao Feng for an entire day and night in the mental energy illusion prison.


    Zhao Feng had to admit that his mind was strong.


    Wang Xiaoguai specialized in body strengthening, and so his will was pretty strong. But against someone who specialized in mental energy and had stepped into the Ancient Dao of Soul, it still wasn¡¯t enough.


    _Siiii!_


    The spectators and geniuses all took a cold breath. This scene was just too shocking. Zhao Feng had defeated Wang Xiaoguai in the blink of an eye.


    Even Prince Jin, who had just returned to his seat, froze, and the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated.


    Of course, Zhao Feng had his own reasons for using the Eye of Illusion instead of the Ice Soul Eye.


    The Ice Soul Eye eroded the opponents consciousness and it could greatly endanger the enemy, whereas the Eye of Illusion was slightly safer as it was about illusion and in reality ground away the opponent''s mental energy until they were exhausted.


    Wang Xiaoguai also came from the Wind Cloud Sect, an ally of the the Iron Blood Religion.


    Zhao Feng obviously had held back just then. After defeating Wang Xiaoguai, Zhao Feng once again closed his eyes. He hadn¡¯t even gotten up from his seat.


    ¡°Where does this brat¡¯s eye bloodline come from?¡±


    ¡°Probably only the top eye bloodline families in the continent could have such strength.¡±


    The upper echelons of the country had twinkling eyes and worry on their faces. Zhao Feng¡¯s actions and eye bloodline slightly suppressed all the other geniuses present.


    ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t fan his flames. Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s bloodline and skill is specialized in strength and body. His cultivation isn''t at the peak True Human Rank yet, so it¡¯s understandable for him to be countered by a mental energy skill,¡± an Elder from the Imperials said. ¡°As for Prince Jin¡¯s defeat, he was already injured, then sneak attacked by that bandit. If Prince Jin was in his peak state, with his peak True Human Rank and a protective soul item, the chance of winning would be at least 60%.¡±


    This conclusion received the agreement of some of the people.


    ¡°Esteemed guests, what just happened was an accident. But Chapter Leader Zhao¡¯s attack wasn¡¯t righteous.¡± The judge from the Imperials smiled and bowed in apology.


    The upper echelon from the Iron Blood Religion were instantly unsatisfied. They could see that Prince Jin had purposely charged towards Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t care about this and still had closed eyes.


    ¡°Prince Jin and Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s battle ended with Prince Jin being slightly victorious. If no one else challenges Prince Jin, he will be our leader,¡± the judge from the Imperials smiled.


    The crowd was quiet.


    Wang Xiaoguai was exhausted and unable to fight anymore. Tian Yunzhi suddenly had no heart to battle and Liu Qinxin liked calm.


    ¡°Hehe, it looks like no one disagrees with Prince Jin being the number one star.¡± The Imperials were filled with smiles.

 335 Preparations

    Because no one challenged Prince Jin, he became the one to lead the others to the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Prince Jin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead in secret.


    The competition and pressure of this generation was terrifying. Each prodigy was more monstrous than the last.


    From second place to fourth place, everyone of them could move into Prince Jin¡¯s position.


    Wang Xiaoguai ranked second was only a little bit off him. If he performed well, maybe the situation would be different


    Number three Tian Yunzhi had risen higher after his fall and his battle power was immeasurable.


    However, number two and three were stunned by Zhao Feng.


    Tian Yunzhi originally wanted to challenge Prince Jin, but he lost the attitude after seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.


    In the upper echelon of the eight major forces, Zhao Feng who was ranked number four might be stronger than prince Jin.


    In name, Prince Jin was the number one star but in the eyes of many Zhao Feng was number one in reality.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to be interested in number one as he closed his eyes to keep on comprehending


    The ball of Ice Soul took him to a world of the Dao of the Soul that had limitless knowledge waiting for him to comprehend.


    The bloodline technique had allowed Zhao Feng to start his bloodline path.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering was about to start in a couple months and Zhao Feng needed to use every second.


    The competition soon came to a close and the eight major forces left.


    Zhao Feng focused mainly on comprehension while leaving behind a small amount on the outside world.


    Tiemo nodded his head and ordered the others not to disrupt Zhao Feng.


    Iron Blood Religion great hall.


    Tiemo smiled: ¡°This time, we got two of the ten spots. Pretty good.¡±


    The upper echelons of the Iron Blood Religion had bright red faces with joyful expressions.


    Having two spots was only one of the reasons. Many of the upper echelon looked at Zhao Feng with kindness.


    Although this blue haired youth¡¯s eyes were still closed, no one thought he was arrogant.


    Back at the competition, Zhao Feng had sent prince Jin flying with one kick and one palm and had defeated Wang Xiaoguai in one eye. Just thinking about it made them excited.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t come first, number one and two were stunned by him.


    In their hearts, Zhao Feng was number one.


    ¡°The competition in the great country is just a small process. The true battlefield is the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. The birth of one hundred True Dragon Geniuses might change the destiny of this continent and lead this era.¡±


    The blood hair coloured Tiemo¡¯s eyes was filled with expectation.


    He had witnessed dozens of Sacred True Dragon Gatherings, but this era was different. Geniuses were given birth like bamboo shoots after the rain. They surpassed the previous generations or else the chance of the heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance descending wouldn¡¯t be that high.


    At this instance, Zhao Feng opened his eyes and felt the broadness of this era. Who knew it was lucky or a disaster.


    ¡°The people representing us in this Sacred True Dragon Gathering will be Zhao Feng, Jiang Sanfeng, Die Ye and Dong Xue, a total of four.¡±


    Tiemo ordered.


    Why did it suddenly become four people?


    Zhao Feng was puzzled.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this. Being a half star faction and almost a full one star faction at its peak, the Iron Blood Religion has two confirmed spots. Of the entire Canopy Great Country only the Imperials, Iron Blood Religion, Qin Sword palace and a few others have this glory. The four big families are still a bit off.¡±


    A Chapter Leader nearby explained.


    Zhao Feng understood. In terms of strength, the Iron Blood Religion was even more powerful than Strong Countries.


    If Strong countries already had two spots, how could the iron Blood Religion lack them?


    Countries would have their own spots and factions would have their own as well if they were strong enough.


    The ranking was distributed by the ancient way.


    Half star forces such as the Iron Blood Religion had two spots.


    One star forces such as the Heavenly Yuan Clan in the Northern Continent had ten.


    ¡°A one star force needs to have at least one Supreme at the Origin Core Realm and other requirements too. Looks like each of the ten great factions have an Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng realised.


    ¡°In half a month¡¯s time, you four will go to the star stand and use the Northern Star Teleportation array to reach the middle of the Middle Continent. At the same time, the geniuses from the other Strong countries, sects and forces including the Heavenly Yuan Clan will be there.¡±


    Tiemo told them their plan.


    The Northern Star stand was the gathering point of the Northern Continent.


    In the Azure Flower Continent, there was the North, East, South and West zones.


    At the centre of each zone, there would be a star stand which directly reached the middle continent.


    Of course, not everyone could use the star stand.


    Knowing the plan, Zhao Feng returned to his place and immediately entered seclusion.


    Jiang Sanfeng, Die Ye and Dong Xue would occasionally interact with one another by sparring but none of them found Zhao Feng.


    The three of them weren¡¯t on the same level as him.


    Even Jiang Sanfeng could only watch from behind.


    In the hall, Zhao Feng sat cross-legged with shut eyes. He kept trying out the bloodline technique in the dimension of his left eye.


    This technique was copied off Prince Jin and company and transferred onto himself.


    Currently, the technique was too crude and not perfect.


    ¡°My bloodline is unique. It¡¯s based on the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. I can only look at other secret techniques and then test it out myself.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed.


    If Zhao Feng wanted, the Iron Blood Religion would give him bloodline techniques but his bloodline depended on himself.


    Several days later, Zhao Feng looked at many bloodline techniques which allowed him to start perfecting his own.


    With a thought, his bloodline power turned into dozens of lines that circulated in his body and they seems to have their own thoughts as they didn¡¯t meet or clash with one another.


    Open!


    Zhao Feng lightly exclaimed as the dozens of lines turned into hundreds and merged into his Qi of True Spirit while other parts attached themselves to the skin.


    Instantly, a thin ice tattoo appeared on his body and a faint blurry blue figure appeared behind him.


    Zhao Feng understood that the faint blue figure reflected the ¡®bloodline¡¯s ancestor¡¯s¡¯ partial state. If the density of blood was too low, only one shape of the ancestors millions would appear.


    To fully recreate the ancestors shape, the bloodline needed to retrace at least 50% back to its ancestor.


    Hu~


    With another thought, the bloodline power soon dissipated and merged back into his body.


    At this moment in time, his bloodline power was stronger than back at the competition especially in familiarity and control.


    After the bloodline technique was stabilized, Zhao Feng once again entered the Ancient Dao of the Soul.


    The Ancient Dao of the Soul was a large branch of which mental energy techniques were just a tiny tiny small part of.


    The power of mental energy came from the core - the Soul.


    The ball of Ice Soul had information about the Ancient Dao of Soul, but more of it was about the Ice Soul.


    Ice Soul focused on the element ice in the soul.


    ¡°The Dao of Ice Soul is extremely compatible with my current God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s attributes. Comprehending it is easier.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    The only regret was that the information within the ball of Ice Soul was incomplete, making it so that the full system was incomplete.


    However, even then Zhao Feng was happy.


    If he didn¡¯t get the ball of Ice Soul, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to dig out the potential of his eye bloodline.


    Under that situation, he probably would only be able to reach the top fifty in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, but now he had the ball of Ice Soul his chances increased greatly, allowing him to maybe reach the top twenty.


    In the blink of an eye, a dozen days had passed by.


    Zhao Feng had comprehended over half of the contents in the Ice Soul Foundation.


    The second level of the Power of Ice Soul was more profound and difficult to comprehend. But with the comprehension of the Ancient Dao of the Soul, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy increased by leaps and bounds.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the freezing pond had extended to nine yards. Just one more would allow Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level to be comparable to the True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°No one under the True Mystic Rank can block one eye from me. Even those normal True Mystic Rank experts might be tricked.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought confidently.


    In terms of mental energy, he had reached the peak True Human Rank but his mental energy source surpassed those of the same level.


    Normal True Mystic Rank experts with weak will could have their flaws exposed to Zhao Feng and be tricked.


    On this day, Zhao Feng exited seclusion.


    There were only two days left till departure.


    He remembered something else and that was Tiegan Master¡¯s mission.


    ¡°Chapter leader, this is the weapon that Tiegan Master forged for you¡±


    Die Ye took out a black metallic box. Zhao Feng opened the box and felt a chilling air seep out.


    At the instant that the metallic box was opened, a light of azure and blue glowed.


    Zhao Feng took out a crystal blue bow that had the same structure as the Luohou Bow but was a size larger.


    The bow string faintly flashed with lightning and it was compatible with the Qi of True Spirit within Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Xiu-- Xiu-- Xiu--


    Three dark silver arrows flashed into position.


    ¡°The bow¡¯s ice attribute is compatible with my bloodline and the lightning attribute of the bowstring is suitable for my Lightning Inheritance. These three arrows are piercing and can conduct power¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng concluded after inspecting the items.


    The new Luohou Bow was close to the Middle tier Spiritual grade.


    This made Zhao Feng admire it.


    Normal True Human Rank experts used Low tier Spiritual grade items. If they used Middle tier Spiritual grade items, it would expend a lot of energy.


    Only those at the True Mystic Rank could utilise Middle tier Spiritual grade weapons to the max.


    There was another point.


    The new Luohou Bow and Luohou Arrows was created by two sets. Once they used it, it would mean using two Spiritual grade weapons at once, expending even more energy.


    The thing was that both were close to the Middle tier Spiritual grade, but not quite the Middle tier Spiritual grade.


    ¡°The combination of the two should be better than normal middle tier Spiritual grade. It¡¯ll be useable until the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng lightly touched the Luohou Bow which then trembled slightly and glowed light blue. The compatibility rate wasn¡¯t much lower than before.


    Now Zhao Feng had all the weapons that he needed for the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.

 336 Eye of Death

    There were still two days left till departure.


    The four geniuses representing the Iron Blood Religion had made their preparations.


    Jiang Sanfeng and company came over to ask for advice from Zhao Feng.


    A few days ago, Jiang Sanfeng, Die Ye and Dong Xue had all sparred with one another but they didn¡¯t have the chance to spar with the geniuses at the top of the Northern Continent.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and inspected the three.


    The cultivation of the three hadn¡¯t changed much. After reaching the True Spirit Realm, progress in cultivation was difficult and it may be several times harder than before.


    If the difference in cultivation was one rank like the True Human Rank and True Mystic Rank for those of the same age, their cultivation speed would differ by several times.


    This included Zhao Feng. Although his cultivation progressed, it was still a bit from the Late stages of the True Spirit Realm.


    After all, his eye bloodline didn¡¯t help cultivation speed and it mainly focused on comprehension.


    The first person that came up was Dong Xue, who had the cultivation of the early stages of the True Human Rank.


    Of the four, Dong Xue was the weakest.


    ¡°I hope that Chapter Leader Zhao will go easy on me.¡± Dong Xue said respectfully.


    Zhao Feng had agreed the three that he wouldn¡¯t use his eye bloodline in sparring.


    The Ice Jade Technique that Dong Xue cultivated was an ice elemental skill, which brought whistling cold winds with any attack. A layer of faint blue air surrounded her body as she summoned gusts of chaotic wind that streamed towards Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t underestimate her even though the element of her skill was similar to his eye bloodline.


    In the battle, he carefully inspected the skill and after dozens of blows, Zhao Feng seemed to understand something and his figure flashed.


    Shua Shua!


    Two figures of Zhao Feng appeared on the left and right and both attacked Dong Xue.


    Dong Xue panicked and was pushed back by a lightning palm and she couldn¡¯t move for a while from the numbing.


    ¡°Your Ice Jade Technique isn¡¯t bad and it can greatly restrict the opponent''s speed but your close combat and agility isn¡¯t enough.¡±


    Zhao Feng analysed.


    Dong Xue stuck out her tongue: ¡°Understood. In terms of ice element skills, the Mystic Ice palace is supreme. Goddess Wei in this generation from the Mystic Ice palace had received an inheritance from the Mystic Ice Inheritance and reached the top three in the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    Zhao Feng had heard of the Mystic Ice Palace before. It was one of the Ten great clans.


    The Mystic Ice Palace existed in the far north and it was most famous for the Mystic Ice Inheritance.


    Every couple of decades, the Mystic Ice Palace would open the Mystic Ice Inheritance and only those that trained in the ice element would enter.


    After that, Die Ye came and sparred with Zhao Feng.


    Die Ye¡¯s cultivation had reached the late stages of the True Human Rank and she was extremely close to becoming one of the ten stars.


    Zhao Feng exchanged blows with Die Ye, but he didn¡¯t seem to find any major flaw after a couple hundred moves.


    If a flaw had to be said, it was that her explosiveness wasn¡¯t enough but this regarded the fact that she had no bloodline or cultivation skill. Normal females lacked explosiveness anyways.


    This was the biggest difference between her and Jiang Sanfeng.


    At last, it was Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s turn.


    Zhao Feng still didn¡¯t use an eye bloodline power, so this battle was extremely fierce.


    A hundred moves later.


    ¡°Claw of Lightning!¡±


    Zhao Feng single handedly formed a several yard long Claw of Lighting which crackled as it came down.


    A destructive wave had first reached the ground and the lightning pressure made Jiang Sanfeng hard to breathe.


    Bam!


    Jiang Sanfeng was pushed to the ground by the Claw of Lightning and he was burnt as he said in frustration: ¡°This move again¡­ ¡±


    The Claw of Lightning was Zhao Feng¡¯s currently most powerful and practical move, which could lock onto a certain range, making hard to dodge it.


    If it was used together with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, the opponent would almost certainly not be able to dodge it unless their cultivation level surpassed Zhao Feng by a lot.


    Zhao Feng smiled, but he didn¡¯t speak. Even if Jiang Sanfeng was one times faster, he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape from the Claw of Lightning.


    Once the Claw of Lightning enveloped a certain area, it would create a numbing effect that would restrict the enemy¡¯s movement.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had calculated the opponent''s path with her mental energy. If it was used with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, it could estimate the opponents next move.


    In half the time it took an incense to burn, the three had been defeated by Zhao Feng.


    After losing, Jiang Sanfeng asked to personally feel Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline.


    ¡°You probably can¡¯t block a glance from me at your level.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head faintly.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, we don¡¯t want to defeat your eye bloodline. It¡¯s just that there will be other geniuses with eye bloodlines.¡±


    Die Ye explained.


    ¡°Oh? Are you sure they¡¯ll appear?¡±


    ¡°Certain.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng promised.


    Thinking about it, even in the Cloud area there was Lin Tong who specialised in an eye bloodline. Across the entire Azure Flower Continent, it would be normal for other eye bloodlines to be present.


    ¡°Although eye bloodlines are rare, there¡¯s around one hundred on the continent and the three eye families have the strongest eye bloodline inheritances. In the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, these three eye families will definitely send their geniuses to participate. They¡¯re extremely troublesome.¡±


    When mentioning the three eye families, Jiang Sanfeng and company had solemn expressions.


    Unless one had imparable strength, they were usually troubled by those from the three eye families.


    ¡°In the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering, I met Heaven Piercing Eye from the Tuoba family. A glance from him sliced at my throat.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng recalled with fear.


    If it was a life or death battle, the Heaven Piercing Eye from the Tuoba family could¡¯ve sliced Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s throat open or pierced through his heart.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng was stunned. It looked like it was not only he who had a powerful eye bloodline. At the same time, he was also excited and expectant.


    To be able to see more eye bloodlines could help Zhao Feng improve his own eye secret technique.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye specialised in comprehension and it could ¡®copy¡¯ those not too complicated skills.


    ¡°Fine, as you wish.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood on the spot with his blue hair blowing.


    Eye of Illusion.


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and it scanned the three.


    Plop! Plop! Plop!


    Jiang Sanfeng and company fell down onto the ground, drenched in cold sweat and exhausted.


    ¡°Experiencing the Eye of Illusion can increase your resistance against mental energy. I also have the Eye of the Heart, the Soul Eye which controls the heart and erodes the mind respectively¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed.


    His eye secret technique had begun to form.


    Two days later, the blood hair coloured Tiemo and two Elders led Zhao Feng and company to depart.


    With the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan moving, its speed was faster than normal True Mystic Rank experts.


    ¡°Our destination is the star stand, but because the Canopy Great Country is counted as a whole body, we can only leave after everyone arrives.¡±


    The Deputy Patriarch said.


    The Imperials of the Canopy Great Country, on a field.


    Prince Jin, Tian Yunzhi and the other ten stars arrived.


    Apart from that, there were also others with confirmed spots such as Die Ye and Dong Xue.


    On the surface, the Great Country had ten spots but in reality there was sixteen.


    Prince Jin was the representative of the geniuses.


    Prince Jin stood smugly at the front, but his expression became somewhat dim when Zhao Feng arrived.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s arrival brought gazes of respect and wary over.


    He didn¡¯t respond and kept his eyes closed in comprehension.


    He had reached a certain foundation on the Ball of Ice Soul now. Next, he tried to comprehend the Dark Eye incomplete page.


    The Dark Eye incomplete page was given to Zhao Feng by the thick eyebrowed elder as well.


    The Dark Eye incomplete page was an offensive eye skill and it was forbidden.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness soon entered the world of the Dark Eye incomplete page.


    Even when all the geniuses of the country arrived, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t open his eyes.


    On the journey, the two Elders led the four geniuses on a True Mystic Rank flying beast.


    Hu~ Hu~


    The winds were strong in the air and it could blow them off balance.


    Zhao Feng was still lost in comprehension.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped out and burped as it looked after its owner.


    Within the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan.


    The Deputy Patriarch had a faint smile.


    He had originally planned for Zhao Feng to enter the sedan to comprehend but he didn¡¯t expect this cat to help.


    Although the little thieving cat¡¯s size was small, it¡¯s power and ability wasn¡¯t to be underestimated.


    It stood on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and no matter how powerful the winds in the air was, they would weaken as they came close to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This cat¡­ ¡±


    The Deputy Patriarch stared at the little thieving cat and thought of something.


    He had seen similar spiritual pets, but only two of them were truly mysterious.


    One of them was the one in front and the other one was probably the Sage of the Six Warlock Tower.


    The Deputy Patriarch had once seen the Six Warlock Sage. This was when the Patriarch was a Supreme at the Origin Core Realm.


    Under the Six Warlock Sage¡¯s guidance, the Patriarch entered deep sleep, awaiting the sizzle of hope in the future.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s eyeballs spun as it seemed to sense something and glanced -at the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan.


    The intelligence in its eyes definitely wasn¡¯t something a being that was one to two years old could have.


    Inside the dimension of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    In the mental energy dimension, a tattered old book appeared.


    The old book was partial and some of its contents were blurry.


    ¡°The Dark Eye incomplete page isn¡¯t to be cultivated by weak eye bloodlines and those under the Origin Core Realm need to be careful when cultivating¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng read the contents and was moved.


    The requirements to learn this skill was too much.


    Firstly, one needed a powerful eye bloodline.


    Secondly, one¡¯s cultivation should be at the Origin Core Realm or higher and the minimum standard was the True lord Rank.


    Zhao Feng was only looking at it and he didn¡¯t think too far.


    The final goal of the Dark Eye incomplete page was to cultivate the forbidden eye secret technique - the Eye of Death.

 337 Northern Star Stand

    The Eye of Death was a forbidden technique that represented Death when trained to the final level.


    ¡°Once I complete the Eye of Death, anything under the gaze of the eye will have their soul sucked out. Although it can¡¯t decide who lives, it can decide who dies¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s view of the world was flipped once again.


    The Eye of Death¡¯s core point was controlling the Laws of Death.


    Life and Death were profound laws that couldn¡¯t be controlled.


    He hadn¡¯t heard of anyone that had comprehended these laws of Life and Death and achieving eternal life.


    Even Supremes at the Origin Core Realm could only live a couple hundred years. They couldn¡¯t live past one thousand years and couldn¡¯t comprehend life and death.


    Kings at the Void God Realm still couldn¡¯t break through this barrier.


    Above the Void God Realm was the Mystic Light Realm as well as the legendary Heavenly Divine Realm.


    Those at the Heavenly Divine Realm were apparently Gods and Legends. Maybe only those at this level could achieve immortality.


    ¡°So, the Dark Eye incomplete page represents Death?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, feeling somewhat unrealistic.


    At least this was only one of the pages and a partial one at that.


    According to what it said, the Dark Eye had a total of nine pages and only when all of them were gathered could one cultivate the final Eye of Death.


    Even at Zhao Feng¡¯s level, he felt it hard to comprehend the contents of the Eye of Death.


    There was many ¡®phrases¡¯ that were extremely ancient and if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Zhao Feng had stepped into the doors of the Ancient Dao of the Soul, he wouldn¡¯t be able to comprehend anything.


    Although Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t cultivate the Dark Eye incomplete page in a short amount of time, it broadened his horizons.


    The Dark Eye incomplete page still had many forbidden eye secret techniques which were named ¡®Dark Eye Secret Technique¡¯.


    Some of these Dark Eye secret techniques could rot the opponent¡¯s mind and soul. Once used, the enemy wouldn¡¯t be able to recover and could only watch themselves walk into death.


    There were other Dark Eye secret techniques that could gather the Souls of the Dead and condense the Power of Dead Souls that could kill others stealthily.


    More profound curses could even ¡®Curse¡¯ others with the Dark Eye.


    The Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground had powerful curses that even those at the True Spirit Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to escape from. Only the Scarlet Moon Patriarch had ever survived without being harmed.


    All in all, the Dark Eye Incomplete page contained deadly techniques that could kill without any leaving any traces.


    The journey continued and time passed by.


    Zhao Feng started to read the Dark Eye incomplete page and although he hadn¡¯t stepped into the Dao, he had thoughts and ideas from it.


    With the help of the Dark Eye incomplete page and its foundation, Zhao Feng started to perfect his own eye bloodline.


    As of right now, he had two main bases.


    One was the Lightning Inheritance and the other was the Ancient Dao of the Soul, represented by the Eye of Ice Soul.


    One physical, one mental energy. With the two, Zhao Feng had a deep foundation.


    In the blink of an eye, almost two months had passed by.


    On the last day, Zhao Feng slowly opened his eyes, feeling somewhat tired but a bright light shone in his eyes which gave off a stronger mental energy pressure.


    Over the past two months, Zhao Feng¡¯s two main bases had improved.


    The second level of the Ball of Ice Soul increased Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level day by day and now it was on par with the True Mystic Rank.


    The second floor of the Lightning Inheritance had been comprehended almost to the late stages.


    At this instant.


    The lightning symbol on Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead slowly grew clearer and even if he didn¡¯t use the power of the Lightning Inheritance, it could be seen.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat yawned.


    ¡°En, thank you.¡±


    Zhao Feng put the little thieving cat into the Spiritual Pet Bag, but when he checked his interspatial bracelet and ring, his expression changed.


    ¡°Fucking thieving cat!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows twitched with anger.


    The lightning symbol of his forehead thumped slightly and the Lightning Tuan Qi nearby started to become chaotic, booming thunder.


    The resources and Primal Crystal Stones in his interspatial items had decreased by half.


    Without even asking, he knew that it must have been eaten by the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat wouldn¡¯t do anything for free and helping Zhao Feng block the winds for two months, he obviously needed a fee.


    ¡°What powerful lightning.¡±


    The group from the Canopy Great Country all sensed this and the other ten stars including Prince Jin felt a greater pressure.


    Zhao Feng lightly let out a breath and retracted his aura before he pulled the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat pitifully waved its paws as if trying to explain.


    ¡°What? You¡¯re in a ¡®growing¡¯ stage and need resources and Primal Crystal Stones to replenish your energy?¡±


    Zhao Feng suspiciously inspected the little thieving cat.


    Even after eating a mountain of his resources, the cat didn¡¯t grow much bigger.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat then waved around to say that it¡¯ll give Zhao Feng all the help it could on the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°After hearing so much of my resources, do you have any new powers?¡±


    Little thieving cat: ¡°... ¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head and became more disappointed in the cat.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye sensed something and he looked into the distance.


    There was bright white light one thousand miles away giving off a weird feeling.


    The bright light became closer and closer.


    ¡°The Northern Star Stand. We¡¯re finally here.¡±


    Those from the Canopy Great Country said.


    The bright light was a shining white stone stage around ten miles wide. In the middle of the stone stage was a simple, pure black stone door.


    The shining white stone stage that contrasted with the pure black door was extremely eye catching in the middle of the desert.


    This desert had sandstorms all year around and it was enough to devour humans under the True Spirit Realm. In the sky, there were flying beasts that could even harm those at the True Human Rank.


    ¡°So, this is the Northern Star stand?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned over the place and found that the materials here surpassed what he knew.


    Such a setup made him remember the centre of the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground.


    While the group from the Canopy Great Country was arriving, there was already many people gathered here on the Northern Star stand.


    ¡°The people from the Purple Rising Great Country and Scarlet Sky Great Country are here.¡±


    Prince Jin¡¯s eyes scanned over the crowd.


    At this instant, the people on the Northern Star Stand were split into their respective parties.


    The geniuses from the three great countries gathered together.


    Apart from this, there was also those from Strong Countries, Clans and major Families.


    On the Northern Continent, the number of strong countries came close to one hundred but every strong country only had two spots.


    Compared with them, the three Great Countries were enormous.


    Many strong countries were governed under the three Great Countries.


    For example, when the Canopy Great Country¡¯s people arrived, many strong countries came over.


    The three Great Countries were: The Purple Rising Great Country, Scarlet Sky Great Country and Canopy Great Country.


    Zhao Feng found that the three Great Countries took up a bit over half of the forces on the Northern Continent.


    After all, a Great Country had many forces and families which had their own respective representatives.


    ¡°Hehe, little gold pig, we meet again.¡±


    The mocking voice of a female sounded from the Purple Rising Great Country.


    The leading genius from the Purple Rising Great Country was a heroic purple hair coloured young woman who wore a phoenix battle robe.


    Little gold pig?


    Zhao Feng realised that the phoenix battle robed woman was talking to the Canopy Great Country.


    ¡°This Princess Linyue¡­ ¡±


    Prince Jin gritted his teeth but was helpless and had a headache.


    Jiang Sanfeng suppressed his laughter and said in a low tone: ¡°Little gold pig is the nickname Princess Linyue gave Prince Jin. Prince Jin sparred with her twice but was utterly defeated by Princess Linyue.¡±


    This Princess Linyue was the Princess of the Purple Rising Great Country and was probably the person with the strongest bloodline power.


    ¡°Princess Linyue is famed across the Northern Continent for her strength and she has challenged two experts at the True Mystic Rank before¡­ ¡±


    ¡°In the last Sacred, True Dragon Gathering Princess Linyue reached the top one hundred and this time her strength and bloodline have increased greatly.¡±


    The forces on the Northern Star Stand discussed and tested each other out.


    Princess Linyue slowly walked over to the Canopy Great Country¡¯s side.


    ¡°Aye, little gold pig, you¡¯re still the leading genius of the Canopy Great Country? Looks like the Canopy Great Country isn¡¯t very strong.¡±


    Princess Linyue scanned over the geniuses of the Canopy Great Country.


    Although it seemed like a casual glance, her gaze contained a sharp and pressuring aura.


    The geniuses who were scanned by her instinctively looked away.


    Hmph!


    Wang Xiaoguai showed off his power.


    A sharp light flashed across Tian Yunzhi¡¯s eyes that seemed to slash through the air.


    Zhao Feng was unmoved, while Liu Qinxin remained silent.


    Jiang Sanfeng instinctively turned away from the gaze.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Princess Linyue was slightly shocked. She had just used a secret Imperial technique that was used to detect the opponent¡¯s strength.


    If the opponent couldn¡¯t look at her gaze, this meant their strength was at least two levels apart from her.


    If her opponent could look at her in the eye, it meant that at least they had the belief to challenge her or at least not far too away.


    However, the scouting surprised Princess Linyue.


    Wang Xiaoguai and Tian Yunzhi could even counterattack her gaze.


    Tian Yunzhi¡¯s blade intent had almost moved her heart.


    ¡°This Tian Yunzhi has comprehended such a powerful blade intent. It looks like his strength might be able to surpass Prince Jin¡¯s and is one of my strong opponents.¡±


    Princess Linyue concluded.


    Apart from them, she also couldn¡¯t detect Zhao Feng¡¯s and Liu Qinxin¡¯s strength.


    Zhao Feng was utterly unmoved. It was as if he had ignored her gaze.


    ¡°Hehe, what beautiful blue hair.¡±


    In a flash, Princess Linyue arrived in front of Zhao Feng with an envious look.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s hair was faint blue and looked natural.


    Princess Linyue had another aim and that was to see Zhao Feng¡¯s strength but after looking closely, she confirmed that this guy was only at the early stages of the True Human Rank.


    ¡°The Northern Continent shouldn¡¯t have another Xin Wuheng¡­ ¡±


    Princess Linyue shook her head. She was thinking too much. Zhao Feng remained unmoved from Princess Linyue¡¯s arrival till departure.


    Those from the Canopy Great Country such as Prince Jin and company wiped their cold sweat. These old geniuses all knew how troublesome Princess Linyue was.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The sound of flying continuously appeared and more and more strong countries and big clans gathered.


    ¡°Hmm? What¡¯s this strong country? It looks new?¡±


    A few people landed from a large blood blue bird and were out of state with the others.


    ¡°Oh, I remember, I think it¡¯s a very far away country called the Iron Dragon Strong Country.¡±

 338 Gathering of Stars 1

    A few people descended from a large blood blue bird. They were from the Iron Dragon Strong Country.


    Because the place was far away, only a small number of people knew the Iron Dragon Strong Country.


    The leader was a mystic robed youth wielding a metal fan with eyes as sharp and cold as an eagle¡¯s.


    The weird thing was that his skin flashed metallic and his clothes and hair even seemed to be metal as he gave off a cold aura.


    True Lord Rank!


    Those that looked at this person didn¡¯t dare underestimate him. To have the title of Strong Country meant that they had at least one expert at the True Lord Rank.


    The Iron Dragon Strong Country had two geniuses. The first was a black robed youth who had the cultivation at the early stages at the True Human Rank. The second was an emotionless youth at the beginning stages of the True Human Rank.


    ¡°This is the star stand. Lu Long and Bei Moi, you two can interact with other geniuses and remember not to cause any trouble.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s emotionless voice ordered.


    ¡°Understood, True Lord.¡±


    Bei Moi took a deep breath. The gazes of the geniuses gave him a large pressure.


    Although True Lord Tiexiao had forced the thirteen countries to surrender, he acted in a low-key fashion here.


    The Iron Dragon Strong Country was a strong country, it was a bit slightly below average in the strong countries.


    At this instant, the Northern Star Stand had the three Great Countries, many strong countries and factions on it.


    The three Great Countries were above the strong countries. Even ten Iron Dragon Strong countries were useless against them.


    Even some bigger factions and families could destroy the Iron Dragon Strong Country.


    Therefore, the Iron Dragon Strong Country was low key and cautious.


    ¡°Bei Moi¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng looked at the familiar emotionless youth in surprise.


    Bei Moi stood on the spot with caution and uneasiness as he carefully scanned around.


    Because there were too many people here, Bei Moi didn¡¯t find Zhao Feng hence the discovery was only one way.


    ¡°This Bei Moi betrayed Lord Guanjun then sold out the Broken Moon Clan with Hai Yun Master. Hmm? Why didn¡¯t Hai Yun Master come along?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt regretful that he didn¡¯t find Hai Yun Master.


    If Hai Yun Master was still at the cultivation he was at, Zhao Feng killing him was like killing a child.


    Right at this moment, tn a certain area, there was a disruption as two young geniuses started fighting.


    The two geniuses¡¯ cultivation were at the peak stages and late stages of the True Human Rank respectively.


    Their battle caused wind to howl and air waves to fly everywhere.


    ¡°Good! Good!¡¯


    The surrounding prodigies all looked at this show.


    There were many people here and everyone was a prodigy. It was normal for them to fight.


    ¡°The geniuses of the Northern Continent aren¡¯t very peaceful and will always fight.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t the older generation restrain the juniors?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes shone. Just in this while, the geniuses of several factions had started to fight.


    ¡°There might be enmities between countries and clans or even about the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering. Another reason is that these geniuses are trying to test out each other¡¯s strength.¡± Die Ye explained.


    Scouting?


    Zhao Feng laughed. The Northern Continent was enormous and some factions and countries were extremely far away so they couldn¡¯t interact often.


    But now that all the geniuses had gathered, it was time to scout each other out.


    Under this situation, even if there weren¡¯t any problems between them, they would find problems.


    Even being one of the three Great Countries, the Canopy Great Country couldn¡¯t escape from this.


    The normal strong countries and clans obviously didn¡¯t dare offend the Canopy Great Country but there was more than one Great Country and a small number of clans and ancient families that didn¡¯t fear the Canopy Great Country.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, the Canopy Great Country is extremely colorful this time. Gold hair, blue hair, purple hair¡­ I thought I entered a dog haven.¡±


    A mocking tone came from a nearby party.


    The speaker was a bald head male with weird dark green lines on his chest. It wasn¡¯t a tattoo but a bloodline that seemed to transmit liquid with every breath.


    ¡°It¡¯s Xie Qinglong from the Scarlet Sky Great Country.¡±


    ¡°That person is ranked top three amongst the Great Country and has the rare Green Flaming Tattoo Dragon Bloodline. He ranked in the top one hundred last time in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    The nearby geniuses recognised this bald male.


    The taunter came from the Scarlet Sky Great Country and Xie Qinglong¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak stages of the True Human Rank.


    Hearing this, Prince Jin and company all retorted back with curses.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ I wondered who it was. So, it¡¯s a bug from the Scarlet Sky Great Country.¡±


    A dominant voice sounded from the Canopy Great Country. Everyone only felt as if the air was cut by a sharp slice and they all glanced over.


    A battle robed handsome male with an ancient blade stepped out.


    ¡°Tian Yunzhi of the Canopy Great Country. Ranked third.¡±


    ¡°If I remember correctly, didn¡¯t he lose to Xie Qinglong in the past?¡±


    The rising of Tian Yunzhi instantly raised the attention of many people.


    ¡°A defeated person dares to come and show off.¡±


    Xie Qinglong snickered.


    The two were all ranked third in their respective countries, but Tian Yunzhi had lost to Xie Qinglong before.


    The clash of geniuses from the two Great Countries brought the gazes of many prodigies.


    Even Princess Linyue from the Purple Rising Great Country smiled and looked over.


    Green Sun Blazing Dragon!


    Xie Winglong spread his arms and the dark green blood line on his chest began to move, forming dragon shaped green flames.


    Hu~


    Xie Qinglong raised his palm and green flames instantly flew towards Tian Yunzhi, trying to envelop him.


    ¡°What a powerful bloodline secret technique!¡±


    ¡°So, this is the strength of the top one hundred.¡±


    Xie Qinglong¡¯s strength made the hearts of those going to participate in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering for the first-time jump.


    The terrifying flames could instantly turn normal True Human Rank experts into dust.


    The Iron Dragon Strong Countries side.


    ¡°So, that is the peak genius of the Northern Continent.¡±


    Bei Moi took a deep breath. Xie Qinglong¡¯s bloodline secret technique perfectly countered his Dark Water Inheritance.


    At this instant, he felt his flesh and Qi of True Spirit tremble. In a real battle, he probably wouldn¡¯t even able to block a few blows from Xie Qinglong.


    Sky Cloud Blade Drawing Technique!


    Jiang!


    The ancient blade came out of its sheath and slashed the flames into nothing. At the same time, an invisible blade intent first charged into the opponent¡¯s consciousness.


    Many geniuses¡¯ present felt their hearts go cold. It was as if an invisible blade had slashed through their own bodies.


    ¡°Blade intent!¡±


    ¡°When did Tian Yunzhi have such powerful blade intent?¡±


    The Scarlet Sky Great Country and other strong countries were stunned.


    The blade intent slashed through the air and forced Xie Qinglong to take a step back.


    This was just the first blade drawing technique.


    Tian Yunzhi then circulated his Tian and Yun bloodlines that flashed blue and white.


    ¡°When did this brat comprehend blade intent and when did it get so powerful?¡±


    In just a few blades, Xie Qinglong had been forced to retreat and he had bloody marks on his chest and face.


    In terms of bloodline, Tian Yunzhi wasn¡¯t any weaker than him. On the contrary, his might be even stronger after his fall and rise.


    Even Prince Jin and Princess Linyue were slightly surprised.


    The strength that Tian Yunzhi displayed could reach the top one hundred or go even higher.


    ¡°If the rumour is real, he comprehended blade intent after losing to Xie Wuheng and his blade intent is twice as strong as the blade intent of others.¡±


    Princess Linyue¡¯s eyes flashed.


    She understood Xin Wuheng¡¯s strength. Half a year ago, the two had come to a draw but what infuriated her was that that mysterious genius had only used one hand from beginning to end.


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s legend became stories spoken at meals. He didn¡¯t have a high talent nor bloodline. He didn¡¯t even learn from seniors but a person like this had comprehended everything himself and created his own path of cultivation.


    Sheeeew!


    Xie Qinglong fell over and was defeated by Tian Yunzhi.


    ¡°Thanks.¡±


    Tian Yunzhi returned victorious. The Canopy Great Country¡¯s victory obviously made the Scarlet Sky Great Country lose face and they sent out their number two genius.


    Of the three Great Countries, the Canopy Great Country wasn¡¯t weak, but the juniors usually weren¡¯t as formidable as the others.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­ ¡±


    Wang Xiaoguai rubbed his hands enthusiastically and jumped out with his gold and silver stick.


    The number two genius of the Scarlet Sky Great Country had reached the peak stages of the True Human Rank and wasn¡¯t much weaker than prince Jin.


    Wang Xiaoguai fought fiercely this battle.


    His bloodline power allowed him to become stronger with more injuries.


    A hundred moves later, Wang Xiaoguai was injured which greatly increased his battle power and gave him victory.


    After losing two battles in a row, the expressions of those from the Scarlet Sky Great Country finally changed.


    ¡°If the number two and three of the Canopy Great Country are already so strong, then Prince Jin¡­ ¡±


    The Scarlet Sky and Purple Rising Great Country¡¯s geniuses were moved.


    In reality, Zhao Feng knew clearly that Wang Xiaoguai and Prince Jin¡¯s strength weren¡¯t much different. But if it was a real life or death battle, Wang Xiaoguai would probably win.


    In terms of offense, Tian Yunzhi surpassed Prince Jin.


    ¡°The Canopy Great Country is indeed different this time. I know Prince Jin but number two and number three¡­ ¡±


    Princess Linyu¡¯s eyes twinkled as her gaze scanned over Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin.


    On the Northern Star Stand.


    To make it easier for geniuses to challenge each other, the seating plan was unique.


    ¡°Ke Li, you go test out that blue haired brat¡¯s strength. Fan Xiaoyue, you go scout out that girl dressed in white who makes others jealous of her beauty.¡±


    Princess Linyue ordered.


    Ke Li and Fan Xiaoyue were ranked fourth and fifth in the Purple Rising Great Country respectively and in the past, they were comparable to third and fourth in the Canopy Great Country.


    Princess Linyue¡¯s targets were Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin.

 339 Gathering of Stars 2

    ¡°The Canopy Great Country and Purple Rising Great Country are friends and our juniors rarely meet each other. We can use this chance of sparring to increase our friendship.¡±


    Princess Linyue¡¯s eyes flashed with heroicness.


    She had mentioned sparring straight out and didn¡¯t try find problems like the Scarlet Sky Great Country.


    Prince Jin hiccupped. Could it be Princess Linyue was going to challenge himself?


    Facing Princess Linyue who was at the True Mystic Rank, he had no chance of victory.


    Although Prince Jin¡¯s bloodline was strong, Princess Linyue was only stronger than him and in terms of cultivation she was also higher.


    Luckily.


    Princess Linyue didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of challenging Prince Jin.


    In her opinion, she knew Prince Jin who had lost many times to her. Her true opponent was Xin Wuheng and even Mo Tianyi.


    A male and female soon walked out from the Purple Rising Great Country.


    They were the number four and five geniuses: Ke Li and Fan Xiaoyue.


    The cultivation of the two had reached the late and early stages of the True Human Rank respectively.


    Their ranking perfectly mirrored Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin¡¯s rankings.


    According to previous experience, under the same ranking, those from the Canopy Great Country weren¡¯t the Purple Rising Great Country¡¯s match.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng who was sitting down suddenly felt a battle intent come from a silver white robed youth in front.


    ¡°Blue haired brat, come and fight.¡±


    Ke Li said impatiently without any respect.


    If it weren¡¯t because of Princess Linyue, he wouldn¡¯t have paid any attention to Zhao Feng.


    Ke Li had the right to be arrogant. In the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering he had reached the top three hundred and half a year ago, slew a peak stage True Human Rank bandit after chasing him for ten thousand miles.


    Ke Li became famous after that.


    He obviously had no interest in challenging a newbie whose cultivation was lower than him.


    While Ke Li was shouting, he didn¡¯t realise prince Jin and company had gloating expressions.


    Tian Yunzhi and Jiang Sanfeng all had playful smiles.


    These details fell into Princess Linyue¡¯s eyes who became surprised.


    The Iron Dragon Strong Country¡¯s side.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s heart jumped and his expression changed as he stared at the blue haired youth in the Canopy Great Country.


    ¡°What?¡±


    The other representative Lu Long from the Iron Dragon Strong Country saw Bei Moi¡¯s change in expression.


    ¡°Nothing, just saw a familiar person.¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s gaze started to pay attention to what was happening there.


    The three great countries weren¡¯t something the two of them could participate in.


    The situation here caught the attention of many people present.


    Zhao Feng sat on the same spot and ignored Ke Li¡¯s shout.


    His gaze even turned towards a corner.


    ¡°Brother Bei Moi, we meet again. How¡¯s the Broken Moon Clan doing?¡±


    A voice sounded in Bei Moi¡¯s mind which made his heart thump.


    When Zhao Feng interacted with him, Lu Long who was next to him and even True Lord Tiexiao didn¡¯t sense anything.


    It was hard to imagine that Zhao Feng who was being challenged right now could still talk easily to him.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the Purple Rising Country and our Canopy Great Country are friends. Just spar already, it won¡¯t waste much time of yours.¡±


    Seeing the atmosphere was a bit cold Prince Jin smiled and said.


    After all, he was the Canopy Great Country¡¯s leader.


    Prince Jin¡¯s words made the Purple Rising Great Country¡¯s geniuses¡¯ furrow their eyebrows in irritation.


    He gave off the feeling that Prince Jin himself was needed for this youth to make a move. It was like saying: Just go, you¡¯ll finish it in an instant.


    Ridiculous!


    Ke Li boiled with anger. Prince Jin and Zhao Feng¡¯s attitude was completely looking down on him.


    Putting aside Prince Jin who was stronger than him and whose opponent should be Princess Linyue, what right did this blue haired brat have?


    ¡°Hahaha, blue haired brat, your name is Zhao Feng, right? If you can exchange ten blows with me without losing, I¡¯ll surrender.¡±


    Ke Li laughed as his silver white robe rippled.


    Weng~~


    A scarlet green ripple appeared around him which formed dozens of flaming blade lines like a flaming blade array.


    Any normal True Human Rank that came within a ten yards radius of him would be burnt to a crisp.


    On top of this a scarlet black blade appeared on his hand which was condensed with fire symbols that caused countless flames to rise into the sky.


    ¡°Looks like Ke Li¡¯s using his full strength. He¡¯s trained the Scarlet Flame Symbol to the seventh symbol.¡±


    ¡°With the Dark Lines Flaming Blade, his strength is almost at the True Mystic Rank.¡±


    Those from the Purple Rising Great Country looked at Zhao Feng gloatingly but they found that the geniuses from the Canopy Great Country also had gloating expressions.


    ¡°Brother Zhao watch out that guy¡¯s battle power is terrifying¡­ not good! He¡¯s charging over!¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s expression changed as he warned Zhao Feng through mental energy.


    Maybe feeling a threat Zhao Feng finally turned his gaze to Ke Li.


    ¡°I only need one eye to beat you.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye seemed to become a limitless ice abyss.


    Eye of the Heart!


    One of Zhao Feng¡¯s three eye techniques was instantly sued.


    Ke Li¡¯s eyes was sucked into that abyssal world and his expression became dazed.


    The next scene stunned the prodigies present.


    Dang!


    The scarlet black blade in Ke Li¡¯s hand fell onto the ground as the Qi of True Spirit faded.


    Pa! Pa!


    Ke Li started to slap himself on the face.


    ¡°Ting¡¯er, it¡¯s my fault. I¡¯m a bastard.¡±


    ¡°You married that bitch and was tortured and died. Everything¡¯s my fault¡­¡±


    Loud slaps sounded across the Northern Star Stand.


    Ke Li¡¯s face was soon puffing red and blood dripped out from his mouth.


    Plop!


    In the end he kneeled and wept.


    The people from the Purple Rising Great Country started to shout and scream however Ke Li was lost in his own emotions and couldn¡¯t sense the outside world much.


    ¡°Ke Li lost.¡±


    Princess Linyue glanced deeply at Zhao Feng before sending in people to take Ke Li away.


    From the beginning to finish.


    Zhao Feng had sat on the same place and used one glance.


    The Eye of the Heart was used against the emotion and desires of people. Anything alive couldn¡¯t not have emotions nor any flaws in the heart.


    Zhao Feng could make the opponent fall into their heart demons.


    Back at the Water Moon Secret cave he had used a similar skill to make Master Bi and company fight each other.


    ¡°This guy¡¯s eye bloodline is terrifying.¡±


    ¡°In just one glance Ke Li lost.¡±


    The geniuses of the Purple Rising Great Country and Scarlet Sky Great Country were full of wary towards Zhao Feng.


    The Iron Dragon Great Country¡¯s side.


    Bei Moi¡¯s heart shook. At this instance Zhao Feng was still talking to him about the situation of the thirteen countries and Broken Moon Clan.


    This meant that Zhao Feng was doing two things at once and while talking to him, had defeated Ke Li.


    If others knew of this their analysis of Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline would go up a level.


    After Ke Li was defeated.


    The other opponent Fan Xiaoyue was dazed for a while before recovering.


    She soon challenged Liu Qinxin.


    Fan Xiaoyue looked at this stunning beauty who made herself feel guilty for her looks.


    Liu Qinxin smiled and a seven stringed Qin appeared in her hand.


    In the competition in the Capital, she didn¡¯t use a Qin.


    ¡°Cultivator of the Dao of Entertainment.¡±


    Fan Xiaoyue¡¯s eyes flashed as she didn¡¯t give Liu Qinxin the time to play and sent a blue purple strike towards her.


    These condensed attacks were fast and powerful.


    The cultivators of the Dao of Entertainment were deadly when they started playing.


    Jiang!


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s jade fingers touched the Qin and the blood of many geniuses present felt their blood boil.


    A half transparent line rippled out towards Fan Xiaoyue.


    Crack!


    The blue purple strike Fan Xiaoyue sent out crumbled and an invisible power rushed into her body.


    Wah!


    Fan Xiaoyue spat out a mouthful of blood and the continuous ripples forced her to retreat.


    In almost one move Fan Xiaoyue was defeated.


    The Purple Rising Great Country was dead silent.


    ¡°This Liu Qinxin is also terrifying. If she used her Qin to the fullest, even the attack of someone of the same cultivation will be easily nullified.¡±


    Princess Linyue¡¯s expression was solemn.


    She didn¡¯t put Zhao Feng nor Liu Qinxin to heart personally was wary of the Canopy Great Country¡¯s overall strength.


    Prince Jin, Wang Xiaoguai, Tian Yunzhi, Zhao Feng, Liu Qinxin. None of them were simple, each was scarier than the last.


    ¡°Looks like this times Sacred True Dragon Gathering the Canopy Great Country are able to turn the situation around.¡±


    ¡°In terms of overall strength, the Canopy Great Country suppress the other two great countries.¡±


    The forces on the Northern Star Stand discussed.


    The upper echelon from the Canopy Great Country had bright red faces of glory.


    On the northern Star Stand the Canopy Great Country had no losses and swept across the other two great countries.


    ¡°But in terms of the leader the Canopy Great Country is a bit weaker. Prince Jin had lost more than once to Princess Linyue.¡±


    Others saw the Canopy Great Countries flaw.


    As time passed more and more strong countries, families and major factions arrived.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes for comprehension and didn¡¯t bother about the outside world.


    At a certain moment.


    Discussion broke out once more on the Northern Star Stand.


    ¡°The people from the Ten Thousand Sword Clan are here.¡±


    ¡°The Ten Thousand Sword Clan is the number one sword clan in the Northern Continent and their strength is almost at the Ten Great Clans, enough to destroy any strong country.¡±


    A few figures descended from the sky.


    The leader was a one-eyed sword cultivator who had reached the half step Origin Core Realm and was even a bit stronger than the Grand Elder of the Imperials.


    ¡°This old undead is also here.¡±


    The blood hair coloured Tiemo¡¯s expression changed.


    In terms of strength the Ten Thousand Sword Clan was close to a one-star faction and stronger than the Iron Blood Religion.


    There were only two geniuses from the Ten Thousand Sword Clan.


    One was an azure robed male with weird white hair.


    The other was a snow-white female who had piercing sharp eyes.


    ¡°It¡¯s her¡­¡±


    Bei Moi was stunned as he looked at the familiar girl.


    Back then that female had crushed all the thirteen countries¡¯ geniuses under her feet with her sword.


    He instinctively glanced towards Zhao Feng but the latter had closed his eyes in comprehension and didn¡¯t see this.

 340 Gathering of Stars 3

    The snow-white female from the Ten Thousand Sword Clan was the past number one genius of the thirteen clans - Cang Yuyue.


    Being the number one Sword Clan in the Northern Clan, the Ten Thousand Sword Clan was a force that was just below the Ten Great Clans.


    With such a force descending the other strong countries and clans all retreated.


    ¡°The Head disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Clan Xia Xianshang came thirtieth in the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering and apart from Mo Tianyi, no one else in the Northern Continent can beat him.¡±


    The other geniuses all looked at the white-haired youth with fear and solemnness.


    Xia Xianshang had reached the True Mystic Rank and was the number one genius of the number one sword clan of the Northern Continent. He was famous across the entire continent.


    ¡°Who¡¯s that plain clothed girl? She¡¯s only at the True Human Rank but is able to take one of the two spots of the Ten Thousand Sword Clan.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know that she¡¯s the sword prodigy Cang Yuyue who just recently popped out a couple years ago and her talent isn¡¯t weaker than Xia Xianshang. Apparently, she comprehended sword intent before Xia Xianshang.¡±


    The geniuses from across the continent gathered their gazes on these two prodigies from the Ten Thousand Sword Clan.


    Even the leaders of the three Great Countries such as Prince Jin and Princess Linyue all smiled and greeted Xia Xianshang.


    Xia Xianshang smiled faintly back at Princess Linyue but was colder towards Prince Jin and company.


    Prince Jin was slightly unhappy but he didn¡¯t dare show it.


    All the three Great Countries wanted the Ten Thousand Sword Clan on their side. They were not to be offended.


    ¡°This Cang Yuyue is able to take one of the two spots of the Ten Thousand Sword Clan?¡±


    Princess Linyue was surprised.


    In her memory there was at least two of three more peak True Human Rank geniuses whose strength were on par with Prince Jin.


    It was hard to imagine how strong her battle power was to be able to rise out from that competition.


    Unfortunately, Zhao Feng was in comprehension and didn¡¯t realise Cang Yuyue was here.


    His blue hair and cold aura was different from before and Cang Yuyue didn¡¯t pay much attention to him.


    However, Bei Moi who was in the corner had recognised Cang Yuyue and was slightly excited.


    The two both came from a place far away and could compete in a larger stage in the same era.


    No one dared to challenge the two from the Ten Thousand Sword Clan. This was especially so for Xia Xianshang who had reached the top of the geniuses from the Northern Continent. No one present probably could take one sword from him.


    It was Cang Yuyue who was the target of others such as Princess Linyue and company.


    Right at this instant the sound of flying appeared once more.


    Another few factions descended.


    ¡°Look, the people from the Heavenly Yuan Clan are here.¡±


    ¡°Mo Tianyi¡¯s here.¡±


    The Northern Star Stand broke out into chaos.


    Everyone lifted their heads and saw several large birds with wingspans at least thirty yards wide.


    There was at least three to four True Lord Rank aura¡¯s and another two at the half step Origin Core Realm.


    When these figures descended, their powerful aura suppressed the area.


    Being one of the Ten Great Clans, any elder from the Heavenly Yuan Clan was at the True Lord Rank.


    There was ten people from the Heavenly Yuan Clan. The leader was a handsome youth who seemed to have divine lights in his eyes. Every action from him brought intense pressure. It was as if he was the leading genius of this generation.


    ¡°He¡¯s Mo Tianyi? The legend of the Northern Continent?¡±


    The breathing rate of many geniuses quickened as their expressions became full of excitement and admiration.


    Some of the female geniuses even felt their heart beats speed up and their cheeks flush red as they stared at Mo Tianyi¡¯s handsome face.


    After Mo Tianyi¡¯s arrival, the situation on the Northern Star Stand changed a bit.


    He seemed to become the leader of all the Northern Continent geniuses.


    No one was unwilling and no one dared challenge him.


    Only Xia Xianshang from the Ten Thousand Sword Clan looked at Mo Tianyi in the eye for a solid breath or two and the invisible mental energy clash made the hearts of the surrounding prodigies uneasy.


    After a while the place calmed down but more gazes were inspecting the ten from the Heavenly Yuan Clan.


    The Heavenly Yuan Clan was extremely powerful. They had five to six peak True Human Ranks who were only stronger than Prince Jin.


    Apart from Mo Tianyi, there was another elegant female figure who caught the attention of many.


    The girl smiled and her beauty was enough to destroy countries. Her faint purple dress fluttered. It was as if she was a beauty made of jade.


    ¡°It¡¯s her¡­ Zhao Yufei!¡±


    Bei Moi and Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes landed on the purple dressed girl.


    From back then, the Thirteen Countries had changed.


    Many geniuses had gone to other countries.


    Bei Moi had sided with Hai Yun Master and betrayed them.


    Cang Yuyue successfully entered the number one sword clan of the Northern Continent.


    Zhao Feng became a Chapter Leader of the Iron Blood Religion.


    Of the three, Cang Yuyue had the had the greatest fortune.


    However, no one would have thought Zhao Yufei would be even luckier.


    The Ten Great Clans were ancient factions that stood at the peak of the Continent.


    ¡°The Heavenly Yuan Clan, Ten Thousand Sword Clan are here. Most of the forces on the Northern Continent have arrived.¡±


    The present geniuses scanned around.


    ¡°There¡¯s one more.¡±


    Princess Linyue¡¯s eyes jumped around.


    ¡°Which one?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s still the Ten Thousand Origin Clan, a Clan even older than the Heavenly Yuan Clan.¡±


    Princess Linyue informed as the sound of flying appeared.


    From the sky a scarlet cloud flew over. It was a dozen or so yards long and a few figures could be seen on it.


    If one looked closely, they would realise that the scarlet cloud was made up of countless scarlet gold metal wires.


    ¡°The Ten Thousand Origin Clan has arrived.¡±


    The geniuses from the Heavenly Yuan Clan and Ten Thousand Sword Clan glanced over.


    In the Northern Continent the Ten Thousand Origin Clan was the oldest and was on par in strength with the Ten Thousand Sword Clan, just below the Heavenly Yuan Clan.


    There weren¡¯t many people from the Ten Thousand Origin Clan, only three in total.


    One elder and two men.


    One was a youth with curled hair and his hands was behind his back whose cultivation had reached the True Mystic Rank.


    The other was a normal youth who had shut eyes and extremely average.


    Most of the gazes were attracted by the True Mystic Rank genius but the peak geniuses such as Mo Tianyi, Xia Xianshang, Princess Linyue and company had their eyes land on the second.


    The clothes that youth was wearing as well as his appearance was too normal. So normal that it could be ignored.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng!¡±


    Battle intent surged in Tian Yunzhi¡¯s eyes and the blade on his back trembled slightly.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng? He¡¯s the prodigy who¡¯s been stunning the Northern Continent?¡±


    ¡°This Xin Wuheng isn¡¯t even twenty years old but became the Ten Thousand Origin Clan¡¯s Head disciple. In this generation he¡¯s only lost to Mo Tianyi before.¡±


    ¡°Apparently Prince Jin, Princess Linyue and several others have also lost to this person before.¡±


    The eyes of the other geniuses widened as they stared at Xin Wuheng.


    But.


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s clothing was too normal and his eyes was still closed.


    ¡°Who is this Xin Wuheng? Why do I feel like he¡¯s like Brother Zhao Feng?¡±


    Bei Moi and Cang Yuyue didn¡¯t know Xin Wuheng.


    Back at the Sun Feather City Xin Wuheng was a genius that was full of mystery.


    In the summit he tied ¡®first¡¯ with Zhao Feng and had the title of ¡®ten moves Xin Wuheng.¡¯


    However, at the summit Xin Wuheng had restricted his cultivation by one rank even when fighting with Zhao Feng.


    Only Zhao Feng who had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye noticed this.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng we meet again.¡±


    Zhao Yufei murmured.


    She had entered the Northern Continent for a while and even witnessed Xin Wuheng and Mo Tianyi¡¯s battle.


    In Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart there was an unbeatable youth who was always calm. He always broke the legends and created miracles even though that ¡®person¡¯ had only tied with Xin Wuheng back then.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng¡­ will you appear this time at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering?¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes spun as she looked around.


    She wouldn¡¯t believe that with Zhao Feng¡¯s talent he wouldn¡¯t be able to participate in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering unless he was unwilling to.


    Therefore.


    Zhao Yufei started to search.


    The several hundred geniuses were around the Northern Star Stand and it was hard to find one person.


    Zhao Yufei bit her lips and left the Heavenly Yuan Clan group as she searched.


    ¡°Sister Yufei, who are you trying to find? I¡¯ll come with you.¡±


    Mo Tianyi smiled faintly and walked over.


    In the Clan, only they were disciples of Supremes and had a closer status.


    At a certain moment.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s footsteps stopped when she arrived at the Canopy Great Country group.


    ¡°Mo Tianyi¡¯s here.¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s the beautiful girl with Mo Tianyi? She fits perfectly with him.¡±


    Prince Jin and some other geniuses were slightly dazed as if they had been favoured by a goddess.


    ¡°What? Did you find the person?¡±


    Mo Tianyi felt slightly weird.


    He only knew Prince Jin a little bit and the others could be ignored.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes scanned over the ten stars and landed on a blue haired youth for a quick while.


    She also looked surprisingly at Liu Qinxin who had a rare aura.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go somewhere else.¡±


    Zhao Yufei smiled which seemed to make the flowers bloom and all the males to lose their soul.


    At this instance she seemed to receive a good piece of news that made her happy.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Mo Tianyi faintly nodded his head and as he turned around, his eyes glanced at the blue haired youth.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s small action didn¡¯t escape his powerful senses.


    ¡°Who¡¯s this blue haired youth that Sister Yufei doesn¡¯t want to disrupt?¡±


    Although Mo Tianyi was curious, he didn¡¯t ask anything as this was her secret.


    Prince Jin and the others sent the two away with their eyes and a feeling of being acknowledged. After all, they received the attention of the legend of the Northern Continent, Mo Tianyi.


    ¡°She knows Zhao Feng?¡±


    Of the ten stars, only Liu Qinxin noticed Zhao Yufei¡¯s small action.

 341 Mo Tianyi’s Commen

    Five days later.


    More and more people gathered on the Northern Star Stand. The geniuses across the entire Northern Continent had arrived. It could be said that this place was full of stars.


    ¡°Heavenly Yuan Clan, the three great countries as well as the other forces¡­. The entire Northern Continent should be here.¡±


    Princess Linyue¡¯s eyes scanned across the area.


    Although she was the Princess of a Great country, she had the heart of a man and knew everything about the geniuses across the continent.


    The Canopy Great Country.


    Prince Jin faintly nodded his head: ¡°We¡¯re all here. All we need to do is wait for the time of the Sacred area Alliance.¡±


    Once the teleportation arrays of the Northern Star Stand and the Sacred area Alliance connected, then the Sacred True Dragon Gathering would behind.


    Over the past few days the forces had scouted and tested out one another.


    Some ¡®new¡¯ geniuses would be challenged to be ¡®scouted.¡¯


    Therefore.


    Cang Yuyue, Zhao Feng and company had all been challenged.


    What made others surprised that some of the new people had unimaginable battle power.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s path of the sword had reached a high mastery and even a peak True Human Rank was defeated by one sword.


    Most of her opponents had been defeated by just one stroke.


    ¡°Such terrifying sword intent¡­ and such extreme path of the sword.¡±


    Tian Yunzhi couldn¡¯t help but take a cold breath as he saw Cang Yuyue¡¯s mastery of the sword.


    Her strength made others see why she could take one of the two Ten Thousand Sword Clan spots.


    Cang Yuyue had, after all, stood at the peak of the Thirteen Clans and comprehended sword intent even younger than Xia Xianshang.


    Even Zhao Feng had almost lost to her back at the Thirteen Clans Banquet.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s performance was also formidable. She had easily beaten many opponents who challenged her.


    With the awakening of her bloodline and it is retracing back to its ancestor, her True Force gathering and recovery speed was outstanding and even contained explosiveness.


    It was worth mentioning that the number two genius of the Purple Rising Great Country whose strength was comparable to Prince Jin had been defeated by Zhao Yufei.


    Apart from that.


    Tian Yunzhi and Princess Linyue both challenged Xin Wuheng.


    The result was that Tian Yunzhi had been defeated by Xin Wuheng within ten moves.


    Princess Linyue¡¯s result was the same as before. After a hundred or so moves she still couldn¡¯t force Xin Wuheng to use his second hand.


    ¡°This Xin Wuheng¡¯s using one hand again. Unfortunately, I can¡¯t use my killing move easily.¡±


    Princess Linyue stared at Xin Wuheng with unwillingness.


    However, Xin Wuheng sat with closed eyes and ignored her.


    Regretfully.


    Over the past few days Zhao Feng was in comprehension and missed many entertaining shows.


    At this instant he was fully focusing on comprehension and didn¡¯t even know about Zhao Yufei or Xin Wuheng and company¡¯s arrival.


    Boom!


    The sky suddenly thundered and started to rain heavily.


    Some unprepared geniuses were soaked.


    ¡°Lightning rain?¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly opened his eyes. He was cultivated and felt the dense Lightning Yuan Qi was very close to him.


    Over two months of hard cultivation Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had increased.


    On one hand his senses had improved and could contact the Heaven Earth Lightning Yuan Qi more.


    On the other hand, the Source of True Spirit sealed inside of him by the Water Moon pirate which was close to the True Lord Rank had occasionally entered his body which greatly increased his comprehension.


    Unknowingly.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was coming close to the late stages of the True Human Rank.


    Zhao Feng had both comprehended the Lightning Inheritance and Ancient Dao of Ice Soul to a high level but was stopped by an even taller mountain.


    ¡°How long till the Sacred True Dragon Gathering?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned across the area.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, you¡¯re finally awake. Approximately ten days later the Northern Star Stand will be connected to the Sacred area Alliance.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng answered.


    ¡°Hm? Xin Wuheng¡­ Cang Yuyue¡­ Yufei¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng found many small surprises across the place and a smile appeared on his mouth.


    At the same instant.


    From the Ten Thousand Origin Clan side Xin Wuheng sensed something.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng, we meet again.¡±


    A voice appeared in Xin Wuheng¡¯s mind.


    Xin Wuheng opened his deep eyes in surprise.


    His eyes seemed to contain an ancientness that wasn¡¯t something a junior should have.


    ¡°I¡¯ve always known we would meet again one day.¡±


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s expression was partly surprised.


    Back at the genius summit he had supressed his cultivation and came to a draw with Zhao Feng after which he immediately left the Cloud area.


    At this instant.


    A weird scene appeared on the Northern Star Stand.


    Two sitting youths with closed eyes almost opened their eyes at the same instant and looked at each other complexly.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you know Xin Wuheng?¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng said in surprise.


    At the same moment.


    Princess Linyue also noticed this detail as Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng¡¯s eyes looked each other with different expressions.


    ¡°Looks like I¡¯ve underestimated this youth. He knows Xin Wuheng and seems like a friend of his.¡±


    Princess Linyue¡¯s eyes flashed.


    This small detail also fell into the eyes of many other geniuses.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, after I lost to you that day I¡¯ve trained twice as hard and at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, I will use my sword to take back the humiliation.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s cold voice sounded.


    Her eyes seemed to pierce through the air and made the hearts of many geniuses nearby cold.


    Shua! Shua!


    Everyone¡¯s gaze fell onto Zhao Feng with shock and curiosity.


    What secret did this youth have? Even someone as powerful as Cang Yuyue had once lose to him and the immeasurable Xin Wuheng also knew him.


    ¡°The surprises this Sacred True Dragon Gathering is more than I thought.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s smile had expectation within it.


    He didn¡¯t fear Cang Yuyue and was even looking forward to battling Xin Wuheng.


    The sky kept raining.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded within Zhao Yufei¡¯s head and the two started to interact in mental energy.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s smile was bigger appeared more often than two months ago.


    All of this fell into Mo Tianyi¡¯s eyes.


    Unknowingly, Mo Tianyi suddenly became interested in the blue haired youth.


    ¡°Wei Yunqi, go test out that blue haired kid.¡±


    Mo Tianyi told a Core disciple behind.


    Wei Yunqi felt loved.


    Although he had the cultivation of the peak True Human Rank, he was only ranked ninth of the Heavenly Yuan Clan disciples.


    Mo Tianyi was a legend in the northern Continent and the disciple of a Sovereign. For Wui Yunwi, he was extremely far away.


    Soon.


    Wei Yunqi walked towards the Canopy Great Country party.


    ¡°Core disciple of the Heavenly Yuan Clan.¡±


    Prince Jin and company¡¯s expression changed.


    The Ten Great Clans were existences that even the three Great Countries had to look up to.


    ¡°Hehe, I heard that brother Zhao Feng is slightly mysterious and this one would like to challenge him.¡±


    Wei Yunqi said respectfully.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. He didn¡¯t really like these challenges without reason.


    ¡°Another scouter?¡±


    He slowly stood up and decided to work out this time.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye quickly scanned over Wei Yunqi and estimated his strength.


    This person¡¯s cultivation was on par with prince Jin but didn¡¯t have a bloodline. Maybe his skills were so his overall strength should be close to Prince Jin¡¯s.


    Those with cultivation under the True Mystic Rank could be defeated by Zhao Feng in one eye.


    ¡°Oh well, I¡¯ll use him to test out the merging of the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible and Lightning Inheritance as well as other stuff¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood up.


    At this instant many top geniuses including Princess Linyue, Xin Wuheng, Cang Yuyue, Mo Tianyi and company looked over.


    ¡°Brother Zhao¡¯s age and cultivation is both lower than mine. I¡¯ll let you have ten moves.¡±


    Wei Yunqi said with a smile.


    He didn¡¯t know Zhao Feng and since he was older, more experienced and had a higher cultivation, let Zhao Feng have the advantage.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t disagree.


    Qiu!


    As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Feng flashed away from the original spot.


    ¡°Not good¡­.¡±


    Wei Yunqi only felt his eyes blur and a numbing sensation come from his side.


    He instinctively circulated his Qi of True Spirit and sent waves of True Spirit around him to push back anything within a certain radius.


    Bam!


    A figure clad in lightning behind Wei Yunqi was knocked back.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s movement skill is weird.¡±


    He let out a breath and blamed himself that he shouldn¡¯t have underestimated his opponent.


    Wei Yunqi didn¡¯t realise that the people around him were staring at the place above him with wide eyes.


    Teleportation Lightning Step!


    A ghostly figure seemed to appear out of nowhere above Wei Yunqi¡¯s head.


    What!?


    Wei Yunqi felt a numbing sensation from his head and the corner of his eyes even saw a foot covered in lightning.


    Break!


    In a hurry he roared and formed a claw that struck towards Zhao Feng but hit nothing as the figure flashed away.


    Teleportation Lightning Step!


    A blue haired figure in lightning appeared behind him.


    Furthermore, that youth was right behind him.


    Chains of Lightning.


    The blue haired youth was directly behind him and chains of lightning thumb wide wrapped around Wei Yunqi.


    ¡°Ah! Ah! Ah!¡±


    Wei Yunqi¡¯s muscles trembled and had no resistance after being wrapped by the layers of lightning.


    Plop!


    A breath of two later Wei Yunqi¡¯s body turned black and he fell to the ground smoking.


    Furthermore.


    The blue haired youth had a queer smile on his face which made others nearby cold.


    ¡°Wei Yunqi who was at the peak True Human Rank was toyed with by this brat.¡±


    ¡°What terrifying speed. He¡¯s merged the essence of lightning and more stuff.¡±


    In the Canopy Great Country side Prince Jin had a gaping mouth and his back was drenched in cold sweat: ¡°Wei Yunqi¡¯s strength isn¡¯t far off mine. How much strength has this Zhao Feng been hiding?¡±


    In reality, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hide much strength in the battles before but he had been cultivating the entire way and improving.


    ¡°So-so.¡±


    Mo Tianyi took back his gaze and after seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s display, lost any interest in him.

 342 The Five Overwhelming Prodigies

    Zhao Feng¡¯s ghostly movement and Lightning skills made the other geniuses cluck their tongues and even some leaders were wary.


    Although Wei Yunqi was ranked ninth in the Heavenly Yuan Clan, he would¡¯ve been first or second in other strong countries and forces.


    An elite like this has been casually beaten by Zhao Feng.


    In the process of beating Wei Yunqi, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use his ¡®hands¡¯. He had reached a profound level of mastering lightning.


    This was because with the merging of the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible into the Lightning Inheritance, all the skills became more practical.


    ¡°He¡¯s doesn¡¯t just specialise in eye bloodline skills. This means he¡¯s far more troublesome.¡±


    Princess Linyue¡¯s expression became solemn.


    She had finally realised that the strongest star from the Canopy Great Country wasn¡¯t Prince Jin or Tian Yunzhi, but the blue haired youth who was as deep as Xin Wuheng.


    The Heavenly Yuan Clan¡¯s side.


    ¡°Senior brother Mo, that brat¡¯s pretty interesting. His strength might be close to Xin Wuheng¡¯s or Xia Xianshang¡¯s.¡±


    A True Mystic Rank yellow faced male said solemnly.


    The yellow faced man was ranked second in the Heavenly Yuan Clan, just below Mo Tianyi.


    Just then he had inspected Zhao Feng and Wei Yunqi¡¯s fight and felt surprised.


    Zhao Feng had just toyed around and using movement and lightning, beating Wei Yunqi without even using his hands.


    Coincidentally, he knew Wei Yunqi well and knew the latter¡¯s fighting style. Unless the opponent had overwhelming strength, he wouldn¡¯t have lost so fast.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is young and is far off from Xia Xianshang and Xin Wuheng, probably around Princess Linyue¡¯s level. If he uses only movement in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, he¡¯ll die an ugly death. With his strength he needs to depend on luck to reach the top fifty.¡±


    Mo Tianyi shook his head faintly as a snicker appeared on his mouth.


    Putting aside Zhao Feng, even Xia Xianshang, Xin Wuheng and other prodigies were defeated by him.


    Mo Tianyi stood with his hands behind his back and had a solitude feeling as he scanned over the geniuses present.


    The yellow faced man was slightly surprised then laughed: ¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Mo¡¯s already top in the Northern Continent.¡±


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s eye level had surpassed their level.


    After all, he was already at the peak.


    ¡°My true opponents are Yu Tianhao, Tantai Lanyue and other overwhelming geniuses.¡±


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with divine light and a rare look of excitement and battle intent could be seen.


    ¡°Senior brother is talking about the five overwhelming prodigies of the Green Flower Continent?¡±


    The yellow faced man and several people nearby all took a cold breath.


    The five overwhelming prodigies.


    The hearts of the core disciples of the Heavenly Yuan Clan shook at looked towards Mo Tianyi with even more respect and admiration.


    At this point in time.


    Although Mo Tianyi was right in front of them, he gave them a distant feeling.


    The five overwhelming prodigies were the five legends at the peak of the Green Flower Continent, each one of them were children of heaven.


    Experts in divination had foretold that the five overwhelming prodigies had the chance to become rulers.


    ¡°The five overwhelming prodigies are: The Middle Continent - Yu Tianhao, Eastern Continent - Tantai Lanyue, Northern Continent - Goddess Wei, Southern Continent Tai Yun and Western Continent Shi Chengtian.¡±


    The Heavenly Yuan Clan disciples had heard of them before.


    When mentioning these five, everyone¡¯s heart jumped.


    ¡°How powerful are these overwhelming prodigies?¡±


    Zhao Yufei was slightly curious.


    ¡°Very, very strong¡­. So strong that 99% of the geniuses in the Northern Continent can¡¯t even take one blow from them. Especially number one from the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering - Yu Tianhao.¡±


    Mo Tianyi took a deep breath and clenched his slightly shaking fists.


    His mind was still replaying the scenery from the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    The yellow faced man didn¡¯t speak. He had also participated in the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering. Back then only three of the five overwhelming geniuses had appeared and both he and Mo Tianyi were utterly crushed.


    ¡°Senior brother Mo, back then you weren¡¯t the Head disciple and after ten years, your strength has increased significantly. You¡¯ll at least make the top ten this time and have the chance to settle it out with these other prodigies.¡±


    The yellow faced man smiled and said.


    It was still raining and the geniuses of the Northern Star Stand had stopped sparring.


    The ¡®scouting¡¯ across the Northern Continent geniuses had finished.


    The geniuses all discussed the situation across the entire continent.


    ¡°The five overwhelming prodigies?¡±


    Zhao Feng heard some chatter nearby.


    Even Prince Jin, Jiang Sanfeng and company mentioned these five from time to time.


    Time passed slowly by and the day of the Sacred area Alliance connection came closer.


    On this day.


    A sudden chilliness started to appear which made many people chatter.


    ¡°What powerful coldness¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a cold flow and couldn¡¯t help but raise his head and look in that direction with his left eye.


    An invisible wave of coldness crushed over like a mountain.


    The Northern Star Stand.


    Some True Lord Ranks and even half step Origin Core Realms sensed this and stood up.


    Xiu~


    An ice blue light flashed through the air. Looking from afar it seemed like a block of ice that struck towards the Northern Star Stand.


    That blue light was even almost ten times faster than the Iron Blood Religion¡¯s ¡°Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan.¡±


    In the blink of eye, the blue light holding a dozen figures landed on the Northern Star Stand.


    Hu~~


    A terrifying coldness spread everywhere.


    Wu!


    The blood of many geniuses present almost fully froze and many people exclaimed but couldn¡¯t say anything.


    Shuu!


    In that instant the remaining rain on the Northern Star Stand froze into ice.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s entire blood and Qi of True Spirit seemed to freeze. His limbs were stiff and a coldness touched his bones.


    Luckily the faint blue blood within his body seemed to like this and began to interact with that coldness.


    ¡°Hehe, looks like not many of the Northern Continent geniuses are actually geniuses.¡±


    A crisp female voice sounded from where the blue light was.


    When the blue light faded, a dozen figures appeared, most of them young male and females.


    The leader was a woman holding an ice staff with a crown. She seemed like a goddess of snow and ice that had descended from the sky.


    The ice staff gently tapped and the coldness faded.


    Hu~


    The True Lord Ranks all let out a breath.


    ¡°Greetings Sovereign.¡±


    ¡°This one greets the Ice Queen.¡±


    The Heavenly Yuan Clan and three Great Country True Lord Ranks all bowed down in respect.


    Wherever the Snow Ice Queen went, everything within a ten-mile radius would freeze.


    This was just the coldness she brought with her where she went.


    ¡°If this Ice Queen really wanted to attack the entire Northern Star Stand would be instantly frozen. Apart from the Deputy patriarch and a couple half step Origin Core Realms, no one would be able to escape.¡±


    Zhao Feng took in a cold breath.


    He had better eyesight and saw more clearly.


    The Ice Queen didn¡¯t intentionally release coldness but had turned the entire northern Star Stand into ice.


    ¡°Everyone please rise.¡±


    The ice Queen faintly waved her hand and only responded to the elders of the Heavenly Yuan Clan, Ten Thousand Origin Clan, Ten Thousand Sword Clan and a couple others.


    What made others curious was that the Ice Queen even talked a sentence or two with the blood haired Tiemo.


    The blood haired Tiemo seemed to know this Ice Queen.


    ¡°So, this Ice Queen is the legendary Origin Core Realm Sovereign¡­.¡±


    Bei Moi in the corner felt that breathing was hard.


    The blood across his entire body and Qi of True Spirit had been frozen, and lost the senses in his limb.


    The Tiexiao True Lord, who had ruled the Iron Dragon Strong Country and the Thirteen Countries had shock and respect written in his eyes. He didn¡¯t even have the courage go up and greet her.


    ¡°The Mystic Ice Queen is a Sovereign of the extreme North. They already have a teleportation array, why would they need to come here?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, why would the people from the Mystic Ice Palace need to come here?¡±


    After the chaos, people started to discuss in private.


    The Mystic Ice Palace was the same as the Heavenly Yuan Clan, one of the Ten Great Clans.


    This force was in the extreme north and was considered one of the members of the Northern Continent.


    However.


    Over the past years the Mystic Ice Palace rarely interacted with other forces and just stayed in their own place.


    This time they had come to the Northern Star Stand instead.


    The Mystic Ice Palace had the same amount of recommendations as the Heavenly Yuan Clan, a total of ten.


    Of the ten participants, females took up the most part while there were only a few males.


    The Head disciple of the Mystic ice Palace was a cold beauty whose skin seemed to be made of snow. She had reached a perfect level of coldness that touched the bone.


    ¡°.... Goddess Bing Wei.¡±


    Mo Tianyi spoke out slowly.


    ¡°One of the five overwhelming prodigies - Goddess Bing Wei!¡±


    The hearts of the geniuses shook as they inspected this cold beauty.


    Goddess Bing Wei stood on the same spot and a half transparent coldness circulated around her that made two True Mystic Rank disciples next to her scared to come closer.


    Shua!


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s cold eyes suddenly scanned across the geniuses present.


    At that instant every genius felt their heart go cold and couldn¡¯t say one thing. Their Qi of True Spirit also seemed to be frozen.


    ¡°What a terrifying girl.¡±


    Even the peak True Mystic Ranks of the older generation felt a coldness.


    Everyone under the True Lord Rank was pressured by Goddess Bing Wei.


    Even Mo Tianyi was gritting his teeth at the moment, blocking that coldness.


    Xia Xianshang and Xin Wuheng couldn¡¯t even directly look at her and could only look at her from afar.


    ¡°The five overwhelming prodigies are too powerful¡­ how can this be the power of a junior?¡±


    Zhao Feng only felt this pressure from True Lord Ranks and obviously couldn¡¯t take it head on.


    At this instant, he had finally understood what Tiemo had told him.


    Tiemo didn¡¯t even think of him coming into the top ten. Getting into the top one hundred was already an achievement and top fifty was pretty good. The top twenty was almost impossible and as for the top ten or first¡­. That would be ridiculous.


    Goddess Bing Wei only scanned across the area and didn¡¯t say anything.


    ¡°Bing Wei, how about it?¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen smiled and said.


    ¡°None are my match. In all the continents my only opponent is Yu Tianhao.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei took back her gaze, slightly disappointed.


    If she had known this she wouldn¡¯t have come to the Northern star stand.

 343 Reappearance of the God Eye

    The terrifying strength of the overwhelming prodigy made the hearts of the other geniuses of the Northern Continent shake. They couldn¡¯t even block the erosion of the coldness.


    Only Mo Tianyi could barely manage to do so.


    At this instant, waves brewed in the minds of the people present. Their will to battle and confidence had been dented heavily.


    In reality, geniuses such as Mo Tianyi, Xia Xianshang, Xin Wuheng, Cang Yuyue, Zhao Feng and company had all surpassed the number of prodigies in the past eras.


    This meant that Mo Tianyi¡¯s generation wasn¡¯t weak, it had surpassed the other generations.


    However, they were considered lucky and unlucky at the same time.


    It was because of this that the Green Flower Continent had the highest chances of connecting with the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance. Normally the chances weren¡¯t this high.


    ¡°Normally there would only be one overwhelming genius every genius such as the Sword Saint Ye Wuxie, the Three Eyed Sky Sovereign, Scarlet Moon Patriarch. However, this generation has five overwhelming geniuses.¡±


    Tiemo¡¯s eyes flashed with worry and expectation.


    An overwhelming genius could crush several generations and this generation there was five.


    Especially the top prodigy ¡°Yu Tianhao,¡± he was said to have surpassed Sword Saint Ye Wuxie and overtaken dozens of generations.


    ¡°She just used a special technique to merge her True Spirit into the air, like mental energy. Those that looked at her would feel an aura and by using the contact of mental energy, judge their strength.¡±


    Zhao Feng analysed after he regained his calmness.


    Through that technique Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s conclusion was that no one here was her match.


    The clash of mental energy auras proved this.


    Zhao Feng, Xin Wuheng, Princess Linyue, Prince Jin, Cang Yuyue and company were all utterly defeated.


    If it was Zhao Feng, he wouldn¡¯t need it to be so troublesome. With one scan of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye he could see everyone under the Origin Core Realm¡¯s strength including their bloodline power.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare do this unless he also had the strength of an ¡®overwhelming prodigy¡¯ such as Goddess Bing Wei.


    ¡°The late stages of the True Mystic Rank with a powerful bloodline and pure skill, surpassing every genius here, including me¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye analysed Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s strength.


    First was cultivation.


    Goddess Bing Wei was at the late stages of the True Mystic Rank and close to the peak stages, surpassing all the juniors here.


    Her bloodline was also top tier, only stronger than Prince Jin and Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s.


    In terms of pure skill, only Mo Tianyi was close to her. After all, the two were both Head disciples of two of the Ten Great Clans.


    ¡°The Head disciples of the Mystic Ice Palace are always abnormally powerful because the Mystic Ice Palace holds one of the four inheritances, the Mystic Ice Inheritance and can open it once every dozens of years. Apparently, Goddess Bing Wei received the core of some inheritances from the Mystic Ice Inheritance.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng said in envy.


    Zhao Feng had also heard of this.


    Although he had received the top inheritance of the Floating Crest Inheritance and some of the Water Moon treasury, it was nothing compared to the Mystic Ice Inheritance which was one of the Four Great Inheritances.


    Those that were titled Overwhelming prodigies had fortune ten times better than Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Although I might not reach the top of this Sacred True Dragon Gathering, living in this era is luck. More importantly inheritances will connect this time.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s state of heart calmed down as his expression returned emotionless. He soon closed his eyes once more and started to enter comprehension quietly.


    Tiemo saw Zhao Feng¡¯s change of heart and couldn¡¯t help but nod his head; ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s state of heart is pretty good.¡±


    Because of Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s appearance, the geniuses present had emotional changes and were angry, unwilling or sad.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s mind was well and accepted this reality as he became normal once more.


    At the same time, the Ten Thousand Origin Clan¡¯s side.


    ¡°If I go full out, the chance of me getting number one is miniscule. This era is full of expectations¡­.¡±


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s normal face was calm.


    His state of heart never moved. It was as if he had witnessed the rise and fall of countless lives.


    Xin Wuheng also closed his eyes and became immersed in his own world.


    Time passed by slowly.


    All the geniuses on the Northern Star Stand were silent.


    They were all waiting.


    Three days later.


    A shining white light appeared on the Northern Star Stand.


    At the beginning the white light was slightly faint but begun to shine brighter and brighter.


    At a certain instant.


    Weng~


    The ancient pure black stone gate at the centre of the Northern Star Stand became enveloped in a white light.


    ¡°The Northern Star Stand¡¯s opened.¡±


    ¡°The Sacred True Dragon Gathering will begin.¡±


    ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s lead this great era---¡±


    Cheers appeared on the Northern Star Stand.


    There were several hundred geniuses across the Northern Continent present and most of them were participating in the Sacred True Dragon for the first time. Their hearts were filled with excitement and courage.


    Maybe not everyone could reach the top ten or one hundred but for most of the geniuses present, just to be able to compete with the prodigies of other continents and show off their skills on the world stage was something to die for with no regrets.


    Weng~ Weng~


    The ancient pure black stone gate gave off an even brighter light and the shining white light finally enveloped the entire Star Stand, as if welcoming this generation.


    ¡°Everyone, the Sacred True Dragon Gathering will begin after you enter the stone gate and you will be able to enter the ¡®ancient arena¡¯s¡¯.¡±


    A loud voice sounded from within the stone gate.


    That voice seemed to sound across the sky and earth. It was as if it came from another dimension.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen waved her hands and the representatives from the Mystic Ice Palace entered the shining stone gate.


    Shua! Shua!


    The instant these figures touched the gate they would disappear.


    Weng~ Weng~


    The shining white lights on the Northern Star Stand became brighter and brighter.


    ¡°This is¡­.¡±


    Everyone found that the lines of an array had appeared under their feet.


    Huang! Weng~~


    The entire Northern Star Stand shook and shot white light into the sky.


    ¡°.... What this heck is this?¡±


    Those that hadn¡¯t entered the gate yet including the Mystic Ice Queen, elders of the Heavenly Yuan Clan and Tiemo felt their hearts shake.


    At that instant.


    The burst of white light formed the figure of a dragon.


    In that exact moment.


    A dragon appeared on the Eastern, Middle, Southern, Northern and Western Continent.


    Five shining dragons interacted and howled at each other in the skies of the Green Flower Continent.


    However, since the Continent was too big, the people on the Northern Star Stand was like a speck of dust and couldn¡¯t see the entire situation but the figure of the dragon alone shook everyone¡¯s¡¯ hearts.


    ¡°This¡­ this is the genius Dragon Blessing!¡±


    ¡°My god! Such an enormous genius Dragon Blessing.¡±


    ¡°Only in the Sword Saint Ye Wuxie and Scarlet Moon Patriarch¡¯s era was there a Dragon Blessing.¡±


    The five star stands broke out into chaos.


    ¡°If the Northern Star Stand already has one Dragon Blessing, then the other continents would at least have the same amount.¡±


    Tiemo exclaimed. He was starting to realise that this generation was far different from before.


    According to his calculations.


    In this generation the five overwhelming prodigies, especially Yu Tianhao had overtaken the past dozens of generations and had a powerful Dragon Blessing.


    Tiemo¡¯s guesses weren¡¯t wrong.


    The Dragon Blessing of the Middle Continent was the largest and brightest of all. It shot out into the sky and gave off a feeling that it was the ruler.


    ¡°What¡¯s the reasoning behind the Dragon Blessing?¡±


    Zhao Feng curiously opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and looked into the sky.


    Once his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was fully opened, he would enter a mystic level.


    Shua!


    His mental energy consciousness suddenly left his body and flew into the sky, even surpassing the five Dragon Blessing¡¯s.


    Canopy Great Country.


    In a pitch black six-sided tower in the mountains.


    This was the legendary Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    There was a total of 49 floors in the Six Warlock Divine Tower and figures could be seen inside.


    At the front was an ancient elder wearing a black cloak with half his face covered.


    People could only see his pair of eyes. It was as spacious as the stars and had an ancient wisdom to it.


    36 Priests sat behind the mysterious elder and wisps of silver light merged into the sky.


    Weng~~


    At this point in time a screen appeared above the Six Warlock Tower and flashed silver.


    Five Dragon Blessings in the Northern, Eastern, Southern, Western and Middle continent could be seen.


    Miao!


    The call of a cat reached the sky¡¯s.


    A silver black cat the size of two palms appeared on the mysterious elder¡¯s shoulder.


    This silver black cat had a lazy attitude and squinted its eyes as it stared into the sky.


    It raised its paws and flipped five bronze coins.


    ¡°Sage, do the five Dragon Blessing¡¯s represent the five overwhelming prodigies?¡±


    A female priest as stunning as the moon asked respectfully.


    ¡°Not entirely. The five Dragon Blessing¡¯s doesn¡¯t just represent the five overwhelming prodigies. It represents the combined blessings of the continent. Of course, the five overwhelming prodigies lead this era and can indeed form the five Dragon Blessing¡¯s.¡±


    The Sage smiled and said.


    His eyes of wisdom still stared at the sky and murmured to himself: ¡°The chances of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance connecting to this continent has risen to 20% but the future is still full of possibilities, pushing this era to the unknown.¡±


    ¡°Look, what is that?¡±


    ¡°Oh my god!¡±


    The Priests suddenly shouted.


    The silver black cat¡¯s eyes also bulged out as it stared at the screen like it had been choked.


    Above the five Dragon Blessings a ¡®Eye of Heaven¡¯ appeared.


    The ¡®Eye of Heaven¡¯ looked down coldly from the skies to the five roaring Dragon Blessings.


    The Priests of the Six Warlock tower were stunned by the scene.


    However, the Eye of Heaven only appeared for a breath or two before fading, as if it was just an illusion.

 344 Ancient Arena

    The Eye of Heaven seemed like an illusion as it coldly scanned the five Dragon Blessings.


    The five Dragon Blessings were enormous and fought with one another, none of them sensing what was above them.


    Maybe that Eye of Heaven had the power to survey the earth but had no power to counter the five Dragon Blessings¡­


    ¡°Sage, what was that just then¡­.?¡±


    The pure and holy Priestess exclaimed and the Priests behind were also curious.


    One had to know that the five Dragon Blessings meant the five overwhelming geniuses. Every one of them had the power to surpass the geniuses of several generations.


    That Eye of Heaven just then had exceeded the five Dragon Blessings and had the feeling that it surpassed the five Dragon Blessings.


    ¡°It started two years ago.¡±


    The Sage¡¯s old figure was at the top of the tower and his voice was steady.


    His ancient eyes lit up mysteriously.


    ¡°Could it be that this continent had given birth to a prodigy that surpasses the five overwhelming prodigies?¡±


    The Priests were all in disbelief.


    If that was true, then the owner of the Eye of Heaven would be too terrifying.


    ¡°Hehe, you saw that the Eye of Heaven didn¡¯t interact with the five Dragon Blessings. This means that it hasn¡¯t reached a level where it can threaten the five overwhelming prodigies yet, so how can it be above them?¡±


    The Sage smiled.


    ¡°Then what did that scene just mean?¡±


    The pure Priestess couldn¡¯t keep back her curiosity.


    She was still shocked from just then.


    The Sage closed his eyes tiredly and didn¡¯t speak anymore.


    Northern Star Stand.


    The enormous Dragon Blessing burst into the sky and flashed brilliantly.


    Mysterious and complex arrays appeared under the people¡¯s feet.


    Weng~~


    The entire Northern Star Stand hummed and lit up to the maximum.


    In the next instant.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Figures could be seen with the naked eye disappearing as a white light flashed in its place.


    Zhao Feng was also taken by a white light and disappeared.


    A breath or two later.


    The entire Northern Star Stand was dead silent and no one was left.


    After spinning around and losing his balance, Zhao Feng¡¯s feet landed on the ground.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Around the same time flashes of white lights appeared from which figures stepped out of.


    Plop!


    Those inexperienced newbies panicked and fell to the ground.


    ¡°My lord? So, this is the ancient arena?¡±


    Exclaims sounded across the area.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned the place and his heart shook.


    This was an enormous ancient arena and every stone and brick contained an ancientness to it and gave off a mysterious, old aura, as if it belonged to the ancient era.


    The floor of the ancient era was made from a rare and mysterious silver green material that wasn¡¯t metal nor stone but it¡¯s hardness was comparable to normal Spiritual grade weapons.


    The entire ancient arena was a hundred miles wide and strived towards the heavens and clouds.


    The ancient arena was surrounded was mountains each taller than the last and stone statues were piled at the side of the mountains.


    These stone statues ranged from dozens of yards tall to hundreds of yards tall. The tallest ten was even close to a thousand yards.


    Every statue was fierce and lively. They were made of different shapes such as beasts, humans and seemed to contain a divine power that made one respect it.


    The tallest ten statues seemed to be on par with the Heavens and Earth and each had their own expressions, whether they were emotionless, dominant, or smiling wickedly.


    The tens of thousands of stone statues created ¡®mountains¡¯ that surrounded the ancient arena.


    This powerful scene shook the hearts of many.


    It was as if Demons and Gods were watching every action within this arena, putting a solemn and historic feel to it.


    ¡°No one alive right now can make such magnificent work.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overwhelmed.


    The ¡®mountains¡¯ of stone statues surrounded the arena and seemed to continue a legend of the ancient era.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye suddenly jumped and sensed that these stone statues seemed to have their own intelligence and was filled with a mysterious power.


    Zhao Feng shook his head. These stone statues were definitely dead.


    ¡°The ancient arena comes from the ancient era and its history started with this continent. Even the Ten Great Clans can¡¯t trace its roots.¡±


    Tiemo stood next to Zhao Feng and Jiang Sanfeng, Die Ye and Dong Xue all quickly gathered over.


    In just a short span of ten breaths thousands of figures had appeared.


    Geniuses of every continent had entered the ancient arena at the same time and regathered with their group after the shock.


    Middle Continent, Northern Continent, Eastern Continent, Southern Continent, Western Continent.


    The five continents were teleported to five different areas.


    On the top of the ancient arena was a floating gold stage about ten to twenty yards wide.


    Compared with the enormous ancient arena, the stage was like a dot.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    A few figures dressed weirdly suddenly appeared on the gold stage.


    The thing in common between them was that every one of them had overwhelming force. Every action seemed to be in harmony with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    ¡°It¡¯s people from the Sacred Alliance.¡±


    ¡°The judges of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering are always from the Sacred Alliance.¡±


    The speaking below became quiet because all the figures on the gold stage had surpassed the True Lord Rank, entering the Origin Core Realm.


    Zhao Feng even saw a mystic robed youth with an air of righteousness. It was the Mystic Sword Sovereign from the Rising Dragon Auction.


    Soon.


    A total of nine Origin Core Realm¡¯s appeared on the gold stage, making the hearts of the geniuses below jump.


    ¡°In the past there was usually just two or three Origin Core Realm holding the fort. But now it¡¯s just started and there¡¯s nine.¡±


    ¡°Even the Deputy Palace Lord of the Sacred Alliance is here.¡±


    The experts from each continent discussed.


    The Deputy Palace Lord sat in the centre and was a large figure with bronze skin. His eyes were orange and his hair was purple black, like a burning flame.


    The most eye-catching part was a large blade on his black. It was brutal and two yards long with a gap in it.


    The bronze skinned large man sat at the middle of the gold stage, as if suppressing the ghosts and demons here. Two Origin Core Realms next to him had respectful expressions and every Origin Core Realm appeared would bow to him in respect.


    ¡°This one greets the Dominant Blade Sovereign Lord.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen from the Mystic Ice Palace respectfully bowed to the Deputy Palace Lord.


    The bronze skinned giant faintly nodded his head then went to talk with the other Origin Core Realm Sovereign¡¯s.


    ¡°This Deputy Palace Lord has such a terrifying aura.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare use his God¡¯s Spiritual eye to scout anyone at the Origin Core Realm, especially such an immeasurable giant.


    According to what he knew the Origin Core Realm was also split into ranks, like the True Spirit Realm.


    The three heavens of the True Spirit Realm were: True Human Rank, True Mystic Rank, True Lord Rank.


    Of these three ranks, all of them were still considered the True Spirit Realm.


    The Origin Core Realm was split into the Small Origin Core and Great Origin Core.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch, what kind of group is the Sacred Alliance? Why is there so many Origin Core Realm Sovereign¡¯s? Doesn¡¯t this mean that even the Ten Great Clans would have to obey them?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked curiously.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, there¡¯s not much use for you to know at your level. Said simply, it¡¯s a group made of members at the Origin Core Realm that maintains peace across the continent. Members include Sovereigns of the Ten Great Clans and those by themselves.¡±


    The blood hair coloured Tiemo explained.


    Zhao Feng was surprised that the continent had such a large organisation.


    The Sacred Alliance members were made up of many Sovereigns from the Ten Great Clans.


    Therefore, the decisions made by the members were stable and it was hard for a single opinion to affect the entire continent.


    ¡°If there wasn¡¯t the Sacred Alliance, the Ten Great Clans would¡¯ve found it hard to team up and destroy the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. The Rising Dragon Auction¡¯s backer is this Sacred Alliance.¡±


    Tiemo added.


    No wonder.


    Zhao Feng seemed to understand. Although this continent was large, it¡¯s fate was decided by this group.


    ¡°The Sacred True Dragon Gathering will officially start in three days.¡±


    A loud voice resounded across the ancient arena.


    The next three days were for preparation.


    Every genius from every faction would need to apply for a ¡°True Dragon Token¡± which would allow them to participate.


    In this time, they would also learn the rules of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    A day later.


    The Canopy Great Country geniuses went to take their own ¡°True Dragon Token.¡±


    Looking at it Zhao Feng saw that his was pure white like most others such as Xin Wuheng, Zhao Yufei, Bei Moi and company.


    Of course, a small number of others had different colours.


    For example, Jiang Sanfeng, his token was bronze because he reached the top three hundred last time.


    Prince Jin¡¯s token flashed silver and had the line of a dragon whereas Mo Tianyi¡¯s was pure silver with a brighter dragon symbol.


    Zhao Feng then inspected Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s.


    Her True Dragon Token was shining gold and the dragon even seemed to move while it faintly roared like a true dragon, making the True Dragon Tokens of others tremble.


    ¡°Everyone¡¯s participating in the same Sacred True Dragon Gathering but why are our treatments different?¡±


    Many geniuses moaned.

 345 Battle of Five Zones

    The starting point of everyone participating in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was different, proving that nothing was fair


    According to Zhao Feng¡¯s inspections, the True Dragon Tokens were split into different tiers.


    The white True Dragon Token: Most of the geniuses had this one.


    Bronze: A small number of geniuses had these. They had reached the top couple hundred in the last generation.


    Silver: Reached the top one hundred last time. From glittering silver to pure silver.


    Gold: Reached at least the top twenty last time.


    All the five overwhelming prodigies, regardless or not whether they had entered the Sacred True Dragon Gathering before or not, had shining gold tokens.


    Zhao Feng was the same as most others: a white True Dragon Token.


    ¡°The Sacred True Dragon Gathering is different from other competition. Final ranking depends on the True Dragon Token¡¯s Dragon Blessing.¡±


    ¡°If one wins, they can steal a part of the opponent¡¯s blessing and those that lost would lose some of their genius blessing.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng explained in a low tone.


    After understanding the rules, many people were curious.


    Die Ye asked: ¡°Doesn¡¯t this mean it¡¯s unfair for those competing the first time?¡±


    This was what Zhao Feng had thought as well.


    For example, peak geniuses such as Mo Tianyi had a hundred times more blessing in his token right from the start.


    The five overwhelming prodigies had a thousand times more.


    ¡°Hehe, the rules could be said to be fair and unfair.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng smiled faintly.


    ¡°Oh? What do you mean?¡±


    Everyone was curious.


    ¡°Those with little blessing will win more against those with more blessing. On the other hand, those already with lots of blessing will win less against those lower ranked. Sometimes the amount taken can even be ignored.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng explained.


    Hearing this everyone understood.


    For example, the blessing the five overwhelming prodigies had was enormous and was a thousand times more than the normal genius. Once they lost, the portion they lost was also large.


    On the contrary.


    The geniuses participating the first time had little blessing and even if it was stolen by Goddess Bing Wei or Mo Tianyi, it was useless.


    ¡°Looks like even those with absolute strength can gather enough blessing to counter the five overwhelming prodigies regardless whether this is their first Sacred True Dragon Gathering or not.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    This was what was meant by fair and unfair.


    The unfair part was that everyone¡¯s starting point was different like how one might be the son of an Emperor whereas the other was the son of a peasant.


    But the fair part was that if you had the strength, everything could be changed.


    Thinking up to here Zhao Feng stared at his white True Dragon Token with expectation.


    Time flew by quickly and in the two days¡¯ time, everyone had received their True Dragon Token.


    At this moment in time.


    The surround spectator stands were filled with elites from across the continent, including geniuses that couldn¡¯t participate.


    Zhao Feng estimated that there was about a hundred thousand spectators.


    Furthermore, watching the Sacred True Dragon Gathering would require a hefty sum of primal crystal stones that anyone under the True Spirit Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to afford.


    Weng~~ Huang!


    The ancient arena suddenly started to tremble slightly and the surrounding stone statues seemed to be filled with a power.


    Every statue was like a legendary figure that ¡®surveyed¡¯ the inside of the arena.


    The next moment.


    Weng~


    On the ancient arena an enormous stage rose from the North, East, South, West and Middle.


    Every arena was ten miles wide and magnificent. Skills of every kind and long-range weapons could be used here.


    Hua!


    A hundred thousand spectators cheered.


    Every participating genius was full of hot blood.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering was indeed the focus of the entire continent.


    In the cheering an ¡®overwhelming prodigy¡¯ appeared in every stage.


    The Eastern stage: Tantai Lanyue


    Western stage: Shi Chengtian


    Southern stage: Taiyun Shuangzi


    Northern stage: Goddess Bing Wei


    Middle stage: Yu Tianhao


    The True Dragon Tokens of the five overwhelming prodigies were sparkling gold and the dragons seemed to move.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s was especially so. A faint golden dragon blessing could be seen around him and it pressured all the other blessing of the geniuses.


    Above the arena the upper echelon of the Sacred Alliance all looked at each other.


    At last the bronze skinned Deputy Palace Lord faintly nodded his head.


    ¡°The first round of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering ¡®Battle of Five Zones¡¯ will now begin.¡±


    A bright voice resounded across the arena.


    According to the rules.


    The geniuses were split into five zones according to their True Dragon Token¡¯s and as for which one it was, it depended on luck and how much each blessing had.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s True Dragon Token faintly trembled and connected with the Northern stage, representing the direction he was to go in.


    Some of the geniuses present didn¡¯t believe it and purposely went in another direction.


    The result was that these geniuses felt their heart shake and felt a pressure from the surrounding ¡®stone statues¡¯ that made them unable to move.


    Only by following the True Dragon Token were they able to move like a fish in the water.


    Zhao Feng easily reached the Northern arena.


    An hour later.


    The several thousand geniuses were evenly split into the north, east, west, south and middle stages.


    Each zone had their own respective overwhelming prodigy and the one at Zhao Feng¡¯s zone was Goddess Bing Wei.


    His eyes scanned over the people and saw some ¡®familiar¡¯ faces that were sent here.


    ¡°Wang Xiaoguai, Dong Xue and Bei Moi¡­¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng saw that he didn¡¯t know many people here.


    Wang Xiaoguai also came from the Canopy Great Country whereas Dong Xue was from the Iron Blood Religion.


    The only surprising result was that Bei Moi, the past martial brother of his, was also sent here.


    Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head towards Bei Moi as a greeting.


    Bei Moi was feeling uneasy, nervous and excited at the same time.


    Of course, the two knew that this round was random and not everyone got to fight everyone else.


    Therefore, the chances of Zhao Feng meeting Bei Moi wasn¡¯t high. After all, the rankings depended on one¡¯s True Dragon Blessing.


    ¡°The battle of zones starts now. Using the senses on the True Dragon Token, go onto stage when you¡¯re needed.¡±


    A judge at the Origin Core Realm said with force. He was the one holding the fort of the Northern arena.


    As soon as his words finished.


    Weng~


    A True Dragon Token hummed from the Northern zone, signalling him to go up.


    ¡°Aye, my luck is shit.¡±


    The early stage True Human Rank was infuriated.


    His opponent was Goddess Bing Wei.


    ¡°Damn, only a white True Dragon Token. My luck is too shit.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei furrowed her eyebrows as she inspected her opponent.


    Being one of the five overwhelming prodigies, her dragon blessing was enormous but her opponents was miniscule. Even if she won, she wouldn¡¯t win much dragon blessing.


    To increase her dragon blessing, her opponents must be at least at the Bronze level or even Silver.


    ¡°Limitless Wind Sword!¡±


    The early stage True Human Rank gritted his teeth and formed a fast-rotating beam of sword light that shot towards Goddess Bing Wei.


    Since he had stepped onto this stage, he didn¡¯t allow himself to lose even if his opponent was an overwhelming prodigy.


    Extreme Northern Ice Wind


    Goddess Bing Wei pointed and an ice blue wind that could seen with the naked eye blew over her opponent.


    Shewww~


    The True Human Rank genius was instantly frozen by the wind.


    His mouth was wide open and his sword still in midair but was now an ice statue.


    ¡°Remove him.¡±


    The Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm said emotionlessly and two True Lord Rank vice judges went to take him away.


    Weng~


    A wisp of dragon blessing from the True Dragon Token of the defeated genius flew into Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s was still sparkling like before and almost no change had happened.


    She couldn¡¯t help but be disappointed. The opponent was too weak that the dragon blessing could be ignored.


    At the same time.


    The East, South, West and Middle stages all instantly finished.


    Middle stage.


    Incomparable under the Heavens!


    Yu Tianhao swiped one hand and a fist seemed to crush through anything in its path.


    Bam!


    His opponent at the peak True Human Rank was sent flying from the stage.


    Eastern stage.


    Tantai Lanyue¡¯s agile figure spun in the air as a five-coloured whip sent her opponent flying.


    She came from a beast taming family but none of her spiritual pets had been used.


    Western stage.


    A tall figure that seemed to be made of metal stood unmoving like a mountain.


    Roar!


    With a shout the True Mystic Rank expert opponent immediately spat out blood and fainted.


    One of the five overwhelming prodigies, Shi Chengtian.


    Southern stand.


    A two-headed person started to laugh.


    ¡°Let me¡­ let me¡­.¡±


    ¡°No, me first.¡±


    The two heads excited fought with one another.


    There was only one body but two heads and each controlled a sword and blade respectively.


    He/They were the Tianyuan Shuangzi, one of the five overwhelming prodigies.


    Hell Curse Nine Flaming Blade!


    Earth Freezing Sword!


    The sword and blade both shot out and flames and ice interacted with one another, sending a terrifying aura. The True Human Rank opponent didn¡¯t even have the thought to resist.


    Shua!


    The youth at the late stages of the True Human Rank was instantly shredded into pieces and blood splattered everywhere.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡¯


    ¡°Siii!¡±


    The hundred thousand spectators all took in a cold breath.

 346 The First Battle

    The geniuses of the Southern stage were cold and stunned.


    There were exclaims and even screams from females.


    The hundred thousand spectators all took a cold breath.


    ¡°Someone was killed!¡±


    ¡°This Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s so cruel. Killing a genius in front of everyone!¡±


    Those from the Southern stage exclaimed and many people started to shout to punish me.


    ¡°You should judge Taiyun Shuangzi by the rules. Purposely killing someone should be kicked out of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    Someone below suggested.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s competition was extremely fierce and there were instances of people dying.


    The Sacred Alliance also appreciated geniuses as those participating were selected out of billions.


    Therefore, the Sacred True Dragon Gathering had set a rule to not purposely kill the opponent, especially if they surrendered.


    A peak True Mystic Rank expert from the spectating stand howled in pain: ¡°Sacred Alliance, this brat should be killed or at least removed from the True Dragon Gathering just like what the rules say.¡±


    ¡°Ridiculous! How was I supposed to know that he was so weak that he couldn¡¯t even take one blow for me? How is this considered purposely killing someone?¡±


    ¡°Hehe, according to the rules, killing someone before they surrendered isn¡¯t against the rules. That kid just then didn¡¯t surrender..¡±


    Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s two heads started to taunt without fear.


    It was obvious that they knew the rules.


    The instant Taiyun Shuangzi attacked, he had used his True Spirit Realm aura to pressure the opponent and killed him before he was able to react.


    Putting aside the True Human Rank, even most of the True Mystic Rank¡¯s would be normally killed.


    ¡°This Taiyun Shuangzi is a newly ascended overwhelming prodigy whose cultivation has reached the late stages of the True Human Rank. With two heads and four hands, he¡¯s comparable to two True Mystic Ranks combined and is apparently unparalleled under the True Lord Rank.¡±


    ¡°Taiyun Shuangzi is indeed worthy of being Yu Tianhao¡¯s greatest opponent.¡±


    The spectators and geniuses were moved by Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s strength.


    At this moment in time, facing the complaints the Sovereign judge emotionlessly said: ¡°Taiyun Shuangzi, first warning. Take ten percent of your genius dragon blessing.¡±


    After saying this the judge waved a True Dragon Flag.


    Shua!


    Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s dragon blessing decreased by ten percent and the shining gold True Dragon Token became a bit dimmer.


    The lost dragon blessing was spread amongst the geniuses of the Southern zone.


    ¡°Hehe, free dragon blessing.¡±


    Prince Jin smiled and his silver True Dragon Token became a bit brighter.


    ¡°Fuck, why?¡±


    ¡°We didn¡¯t kill on purpose, the opponent¡¯s just too weak.¡±


    The two heads of Taiyun Shuangzi gritted their teeth unwillingly.


    ¡°The rules of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering state that if the killing was unintentional, one tenth of your dragon blessing will be deducted.¡±


    The judge remained unmoved.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering had a perfect set of rules.


    Being an overwhelming prodigy, the Sacred Alliance¡¯s judgement on him was light.


    ¡°Boss, looks like we can¡¯t kill everyone now.¡±


    The second Taiyun Shuangzi head said.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe, the rules say that you can¡¯t purposely kill people but didn¡¯t say you can¡¯t cripple them¡­.¡±


    The Taiyun Shuangzi big brother licked his lips in cunningness.


    Xin Wuheng had a solemn expression in the crowd: ¡°If the two are specialised in combined attacks then their battle power would probably double¡­.¡±


    Xin Wuheng, Prince Jin and company had been sent to the Southern zone, the same as Taiyun Shuangzi.


    After this battle.


    The geniuses of the Southern area maintained a distance between them and Taiyun Shuangzi.


    Many people had already made the idea that if their luck wasn¡¯t very good and met Taiyun Shuangzi, it was best to forfeit immediately.


    On the ancient arena.


    The battle of the five zones continued.


    Every fight was led by the True Dragon Tokens which signalled for the two sides to battle.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering didn¡¯t care about how much you won, but how much dragon blessing you gathered.


    Northern zone.


    After Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s victory, another few geniuses had their turns.


    According to previous experience this process would continue for about ten days as there was a couple hundred geniuses in every zone.


    Zhao Feng sat cross legged with closed eyes but would put a part of his consciousness on the outside world while most of his focus was on comprehension.


    ¡°With my current strength it¡¯ll be hard to make the top twenty.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t give up any chance and grasped every second to increase his strength.


    Within his mind.


    The Lightning Inheritance and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible kept on merging together.


    The second level of the Ball of Ice Soul was increasing steadily.


    Furthermore.


    The Dark Eye incomplete page made Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye have many new ideas and thoughts.


    Over the past few months of comprehension Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level was on par with the True Mystic Rank.


    Within the dimension of his left eye.


    The faint blue ice pond had reached one yard and was even colder than before.


    Zhao Feng felt that the mental energy source he could use was now double than before and the power of Ice Soul was even stronger.


    At a certain point in time.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and watched a battle.


    Although he was comprehending, he still put some focus on the outside world. With the evolving of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, it wasn¡¯t hard to do two things at once.


    Northern zone¡¯s arena.


    Bei Moi took a deep breath as a dark blue ripple appeared around him, agilely attacking his opponent.


    ¡°Kid, just give up.¡±


    A red robed man laughed as flaming lights appeared in the middle of his palm and hit towards Bei Moi.


    The red robed man¡¯s cultivation was at the early stages of the True Human Rank and was slightly higher than Bei Moi¡¯s beginning stage cultivation.


    Even though Bei Moi¡¯s Dark Water Inheritance was powerful, every True Dragon Gathering participant had a strong background.


    The red robed man in front of him countered Bei Moi perfectly and had better skills.


    Thirty moves later.


    Bei Moi was forced back by the red robed man.


    The arena was ten miles wide and due to Bei Moi¡¯s defense, he could still hold on.


    ¡°The Dark Water Inheritance is useless here and even my Lightning Inheritance is only average. Luckily I merged it with the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but feel lucky.


    It wasn¡¯t that Bei Moi¡¯s Dark Water Inheritance was weak, it was that everyone here were children of Heaven that had talent, high status of birth and fortune.


    Compared with them the Cloud area was just a tiny village in a remote land.


    ¡°Brat, if you don¡¯t admit defeat, it won¡¯t be against the rules even if I kill you.¡±


    The red robed man took out a scarlet red dragon wood sword and slashed through Bei Moi¡¯s Dark Ripple defence.


    Wahl!


    Bei Moi spat out a mouthful of blood and watched the red robed man close in.


    ¡°Dark Water forming Ice!¡¯


    Bei Moi¡¯s eyes were red as his Qi of True Spirit seemed to evolve.


    Wu~~


    Bei Moi¡¯s liquid ripple of defence turned into ice as gave off a coldness.


    Dark Water forming Ice was Bei Moi¡¯s ultimate move and the most powerful technique of the Dark Water Inheritance.


    Shua!


    The red robed man had a bloody gash after being slashed by the dark blue ice blade and a coldness eroded his body, forcing him to retreat.


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the spiritual pill making me break through to the True Spirit Realm under the chances of dying, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to comprehend one of the two strongest laws of the Dark Water Inheritance.¡±


    Bei Moi took a deep breath as ice and water interacted around him. Every attack would have the explosion of ice and his fists seemed to be made of icy mountains.


    Fifty moves later.


    Bam!


    Bei Moi¡¯s palm hit the red robed man.


    ¡°I won.¡±


    Bei Moi wiped the blood from his mouth and felt his blood boil.


    His emotionless expression was replaced by excitement and craze.


    On this stage Bei Moi didn¡¯t strive to be remembered forever. He just wanted to give out a moment of light.


    After the victory.


    A wisp of dragon blessing fell into Bei Moi¡¯s True Dragon Token and his white token became a bit brighter.


    ¡°Bei Moi is just about the top ten Canopy Great Country¡¯s strength.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Although it was hard for Bei Moi to reach the top three hundred in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, it was an incredible feat with his background.


    On the Northern stage.


    The fights were fierce and the sparring continued until a certain moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s True Dragon Token started to buzz, directing him towards the stage.


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his blood boil and even with his calmness, he became slightly excited.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng turned into a flash of lightning that landed on the Northern stage.


    His opponent was a youth was firm eyes who held a low tier Spiritual grade blade.


    ¡°This is my first battle, I can¡¯t lose.¡±


    Gao Peng gripped his blade tightly as his Qi of True Spirit roared out.


    He looked at the blue haired youth in front of him and for an instant, memories flew by in his mind.


    ¡°Before we left the elders of the Guanyin strong country were full of expectations for us. After almost twenty years of hard work and countless battles, I finally reached this step. If I lost this fight to someone of the same cultivation, how would I be able to face the geniuses that lost to me?¡±


    Gao Peng¡¯s battle intent reached a peak.


    ¡°Not even twenty years old and the early stages of the True Human Rank¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng stared at the youth silently. His talent and potential were all top tier.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t underestimate in this first battle.


    Blade of Lightning!


    Zhao Feng condensed an azure blade a yard long in his palm.


    Flying Crane Cloud Slashing Blade!


    Battle intent burned in Gao Peng¡¯s eyes as he roared and seemed to become one with the blade as he slashed forward through the air.


    The agile movement skill and dominant blade contrasted one another but seemed to merge perfectly. As he struck his Qi of True Spirit enveloped dozens of yards.


    ¡°Flying Crane Cloud Slashing Blade, what a profound blade intent. Any opponent on the Sacred True Dragon Gathering had considerable strength.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his horizons broaden.


    Fsh!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body was instantly slashed apart by that blade.

 347 Eye Bloodline Family

    Zhao Feng¡¯s body was like a piece of paper that was ripped apart.


    In the Northern zone Bei Moi and Dong Xue¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    ¡°With Brother Zhao¡¯s strength, he shouldn¡¯t be defeated this fast.¡±


    Bei Moi shook his head fiercely.


    At this instance.


    The victor of the Northern stage was decided.


    ¡°Wu! Si¡­.¡±


    Gao Peng¡¯s figure froze in mid-air as his body became to convulse.


    A blue haired youth had appeared in front of him with folded arms his back to him. Arcs of lightning held down Gao Peng.


    Plop!


    Gao Peng fell down from the air, scorched.


    ¡°What weird lightning and speed. Incredible!¡±


    The Northern zone geniuses exclaimed.


    The speed and use of lightning Zhao Feng displayed made others sigh.


    It was pretty rare to see battles end in one move, but this usually only appeared on the five overwhelming prodigies.


    The judge waved his True Dragon Flag to signal Zhao Feng¡¯s victory.


    A part of the dragon blessing from Gao Peng was instantly transferred to Zhao Feng.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s True Dragon Token as still white but it became brighter.


    After this battle Zhao Feng¡¯s dragon blessing had obviously increased.


    This was because he didn¡¯t have much dragon blessing and so beating anyone would give him an obvious increase.


    ¡°Brother Qin, this blue haired brat might be a black horse.¡±


    Below the Northern zone a peak True Human Rank youth said.


    He had paid attention to Zhao Feng when the latter went up, mainly because of his blue hair and blue left eye.


    Looking closely the youth realised that Zhao Feng¡¯s use of lightning and movement had reached an incredible level.


    ¡°So-so but not considered a black horse yet. Only newbies that win at least ten battles in a row are considered black horses.¡±


    Brother Qin said faintly.


    This Brother Qin was thirty something years old and was dressed like a scholar. Standing in the group, he made the other geniuses respectful.


    ¡°This guy¡¯s Qin Kunwu, who comes from one of the Ten Great Clans, the Heavenly Book Chapter. He fought Mo Tianyi to a draw in the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering but his final placing was higher.¡±


    Xia Xianshang from the Ten Thousand Sword Clan said solemnly.


    Apart from Zhao Feng, Dong Xue, Bei Moi, Wang Xuaoguai these familiars, there was also Xia Xianshang and a few others.


    Of course, both Xia Xianshang and Qin Kunwu were ones that were rated highly in the entire Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Below Goddess Bing Wei was Qin Kunwu, Xia Xianshang as a ghost eyed man who also had a pure silver True Dragon Token.


    Of the three Qin Kunwu and the ghost eyed man both had a glint of gold on their silver True Dragon Tokens.


    ¡°As of right now Qin Kunwu, Xia Xianshang and the ghost eyed man are the strongest three below the overwhelming prodigies in the Northern zone.¡±


    Dong Xue analysed.


    She and Zhao Feng both came from the Iron Blood Religion and had scouted out some news.


    In reality, even if she didn¡¯t say this Zhao Feng would understand with a scan of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Just by looking at their True Dragon Token, one could tell how strong they were.


    Qin Kunwu, Xia Xianshang and the ghost eyed man all indeed give Zhao Feng a pressure just below Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s.


    ¡°What¡¯s the situation of the ghost eyed man?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline had a weird sense.


    ¡°I heard he¡¯s from the Wu family of one of the three major eye bloodline families.¡±


    Dong Xue said uncertainly as she looked at the ghost eyed man.


    After all, this was also her first time participating.


    When the two were inspecting the ghost eyed man the latter seemed to sense it and a pair of dark grey eyes of coldness suddenly scanned over.


    Wu!


    The geniuses of this area all suddenly felt a creepy coldness. It was as if they had walked into a graveyard filled with white bones.


    Dong Xue started to tremble and couldn¡¯t even speak a word.


    Even someone as strong as Zhao Feng felt that breathing was hard and felt a sizzle of danger.


    The ¡®Ghost Eye bloodline¡± of the ghost eyed man gave off an ancient and cold aura that seemed to have touched the world of Souls which could erode the physical world.


    ¡°What a powerful eye bloodline.¡±


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had seen such a strong eye bloodline. It was more than ten times stronger than Lin Tong.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, I didn¡¯t think that there would be such an eye bloodline apart from the three major eye families but unfortunately¡­.¡±


    The ghost eyed man could obviously sense Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline but shook his head regretfully.


    Although he thought Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline wasn¡¯t bad, it wasn¡¯t that good either.


    After clashing with his ghost eye Zhao Feng only felt a cold eroding aura try to break into his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Peng Peng Peng Peng!


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye suddenly started to give off a dangerous feel.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, a faint grey aura brought an eroding force to Zhao Feng.


    Destroy!


    Zhao Feng tried his best to conduct his mental energy source and the coldness from the freezing pond killed the grey aura.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath.


    The ghost eyed man¡¯s eye bloodline was indeed terrifying. He was indeed worthy of being a descendant from one of the three major eye bloodline families.


    ¡°This person¡¯s strength isn¡¯t weaker than Mo Tianyi.¡±


    Zhao Feng calmed himself down.


    After analysing the situation of the Northern zone Goddess Bing Wei was definitely the strongest.


    Qin Kunwu, Xia Xianshang and the ghost eyed man were the next three most powerful that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even have much of a chance against.


    Below them were others at the True Mystic Rank but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t fear them.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, that guy¡¯s going up!¡±


    Dong Xue suddenly exclaimed.


    Looking over, Zhao Feng saw the ghost eyed man on the Northern stage. His opponent was peak True Human Rank male in gold.


    Ghost Eye Soul Burner!!!


    The ghost eyed man smiled wickedly as his pair of ghost eye started to burn.


    Shua!


    The man in gold instantly screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    The man then howled as sweat dripped down from his back then rolled around on the ground as if he was being tortured.


    The judge waved the True Dragon Flag.


    The winning ghost eyed man murmured to himself: ¡°If it weren¡¯t because that killing people would lose dragon blessing¡­.¡±


    He had obviously held back just then.


    Taiyun Shuangzi had killed his opponent and instead of getting any dragon blessing, he had even lost some.


    When the ghost eyed man attacked Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye locked onto him.


    ¡°He merged his Flame of True Spirit with his eye bloodline, forming a Ghost Eye Flame that burned his opponent¡¯s soul.¡±


    Zhao Feng found the reasoning behind the ghost eyed man¡¯s skill.


    However, knowing didn¡¯t mean Zhao Feng could copy it.


    Zhao Feng could only get ideas from anything that was linked to bloodlines as everyone¡¯s bloodline was different. It was suitable for someone else, it didn¡¯t mean it was suitable for you too.


    ¡°But the Flame of True Spirit can be formed by anyone in the True Spirit Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and merged his consciousness into his dantian.


    At the core of his dantian was his Source of True Spirit that was biased towards the Lightning element.


    According to the Lightning Inheritance Zhao Feng circulated his Qi of Spirit and a small flame the size of a pea appeared within the depths of his Source of True Spirit.


    At the same time the flame glittered lightning.


    This wasn¡¯t just any normal Flame of True Spirit, it was a True Spirit Lightning Flame.


    After reaching the True Spirit Realm Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother about the Flame of True Spirit as he didn¡¯t consider about going down the path of a blacksmith.


    However.


    The aura released from the True Spirit Lightning Flame in his dantian made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jump.


    ¡°Using the True Spirit Lightning Flame as a lighter and merging it with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, could I summon a Lightning Flame God¡¯s Eye?¡±


    A thought popped into Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    After all, he had looked into the Dark Eye incomplete page and knew enough about mental energy.


    Firstly.


    Zhao Feng needed a bridge that connected his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and True Spirit Lightning Fire together.


    This bridge would be his faint cold blue blood in his body.


    A while later.


    The faint blue blood turned into a spider web that extended from the dimension of his left eye to the True Spirit Lightning Flame in his dantian.


    Time flew by quickly as Zhao Feng kept on trying and working it out.


    Failure after failure meant that he was getting close to success.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s True Dragon Token suddenly sensed something and pointed towards the Northern stage.


    ¡°My turn again.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood up unwillingly. He was very close to success.


    When the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye succeeded it would become a powerful eye bloodline secret technique that wouldn¡¯t just attack the soul. It would attack the mental energy dimension and physical world.


    Northern stage.


    Zhao Feng went up for the second time.


    His opponent this time was a late stage man in gold armour.


    The gold armoured man had a cautious expression and put up a protective Qi of True Spirit barrier to counter Zhao Feng¡¯s speed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed had made other geniuses sigh.


    ¡°Hmph, to beat those with fast speed you need stronger defence and use stillness to counter movement.¡±


    After reinforcing his defence a smile appeared on the golden armoured man¡¯s face.


    His cultivation was higher than Zhao Feng¡¯s and believed that as long as his defence wasn¡¯t broken, the chances of him winning was high.


    However.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t try to win by speed.


    Eye of Illusion!


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and an abyssal freezing pond seemed to appear in his left eye.


    Plop!


    Within a breath the golden armoured man had half kneeled on the ground and cold sweat drenched his back


    Hua!


    The Northern zone broke into chaos.


    Some peak True Human Rank and even True Mystic Rank geniuses were moved.


    The ghost eyed man had a surprised look: ¡°Looks like he doesn¡¯t completely not know eye techniques.¡±


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s True Dragon Token became brighter than before as it took some dragon blessing from the opponent. However, there was still a bit of distance until the bronze token.


    After winning.


    Zhao Feng quickly returned to his spot and started to test and explore within the dimension of his left eye.


    Slowly but steadily Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye occasionally flashed with lightning and the pupil seemed be transparent and dark at the same time.

 348 Inheritance Shadowings

    The faint blue blood within Zhao Feng¡¯s body formed a bright connecting the dimension of his left eye to his Source of True Spirit within his dantian.


    The sizzle of True Spirit Lightning Fire succeeded in merging with the freezing pond.


    The freezing pond wasn¡¯t just Zhao Feng¡¯s Source of mental energy, it was also Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes¡¯ ¡®eye power¡¯ and the core of his eye bloodline. Up to now it still remained a mystery.


    Through the testing the freezing pond and True Spirit Lightning Fore could merge together for a short amount of time and a faint azure lightning flame would occasionally flash in Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    At this point in time Zhao Feng had copied the ghost eyed man¡¯s Flaming Eye technique.


    ¡°After all, the eye is the human¡¯s weakest part of the body and this flaming eye technique is best used instantly, not continuously. A normal eye can¡¯t do this.¡±


    Zhao Feng realised.


    This meant that those without powerful eye bloodlines couldn¡¯t use this skill even if they knew how to cultivate it.


    This was because the eyes of normal humans were weak and couldn¡¯t contain the flame.


    At this instance.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Flame God¡¯s Eye had formed and was probably stronger than all the others.


    As of right now.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye techniques contained: Eye of Illusion, Eye of Ice Soul and Eye of the Heart.


    The Eye of Ice Soul had a powerful offense and specialised in locking onto the opponent - Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare use this easily.


    On the other hand the Lightning Flame God¡¯s Eye was an instant attack and definitely stronger than the Eye of Ice Soul.


    ¡°I can¡¯t use the Lightning Flame God¡¯s Eye easily or else it¡¯s very easy to burn the opponent¡¯s soul and do more than wanted damage. Furthermore, this skill puts a lot of pressure on the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly regretful.


    He had just comprehended the Lightning Flame God¡¯s Eye and definitely didn¡¯t have enough control over it.


    Therefore whenever the ghost eyed man went up Zhao Feng would inspect and learn a thing or two from him.


    Ghost Eye Soul Burner!!


    The ghost eyed man¡¯s eyes shone with fire.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡±


    A peak True Human Rank expert howled and fell to the ground rolling as if being tortured.


    The ghost eyed man¡¯s Ghost Eye Soul Burner was controlled precisely or else it was easy for the opponent to accidentally kill his opponent.


    Anyone that lost to him would be injured in the mind and definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to recover during the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Therefore, the ghost eyed man was also a forbidden opponent that many geniuses didn¡¯t dare to fight against.


    ¡°This Wu family is indeed worthy of being one of the three major eye families.¡±


    Qin Kunwu and Xia Xianshang all had solemn expressions.


    These two were Mo Tianyi¡¯s level but extremely wary of the ghost eyed man.


    ¡°All three from the three eye families are here. The Tuoba family, Wu family and Qiu family.¡±


    Qin Kunwu scanned across the area.


    Under normal situations most geniuses apart from overwhelming prodigies didn¡¯t want to meet the three major eye families because their skills were hard to fend against.


    ¡°Look at the Eastern stage. It¡¯s someone from the Tuoba family!¡±


    The gazes of many geniuses turned to the Northern stage.


    The overwhelming prodigy from the Northern stage was Tantai Lanyue and was easily supreme.


    At this instance the successor from the Tuoba family had appeared on the Northern stage.


    ¡°Tuoba Qi from one of the three major eye families.¡±


    Their gazes locked onto the handsome youth.


    Tuoba Qi¡¯s opponent was a moving female dressed in pink.


    ¡°Die Ye!¡±


    Zhao Feng, Dong Xue, Jiang Sanfeng and company exclaimed.


    Heavenly Piercing Eye!


    Tuoba Qi¡¯s calm eyes suddenly became sharp.


    Shua!


    A gash was left on Die Ye¡¯s face that went straight down to her neck.


    ¡°I¡­ I admit defeat¡­.¡±


    Die Ye exclaimed with fear.


    Thinking back how she had chased after the Fan Flying Bandit with Zhao Feng, her strength was about the peak True Human Rank but now she didn¡¯t have any chance to fight back at all.


    The Heavenly Piercing Eye¡¯s attack could create invisible blades that slashed the opponent¡¯s throat.


    ¡°The Heavenly Piercing Eye is still so powerful. If I faced him the result would most likely be the two of us severely injured.¡±


    The ghost eyed man¡¯s expression was solemn.


    Of course.


    The people from different zones couldn¡¯t battle others from other zones as of right now.


    Even the ones from the same zone had a low chance of fighting one another.


    ¡°This Heavenly Piercing Eye¡¯s offense is terrifying. And it¡¯s biased towards the physical world.¡±


    Zhao Feng clucked his tongue.


    Tuoba Qi¡¯s speed was too fast. So fast that Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye couldn¡¯t lock onto it.


    Furthermore, the opponent¡¯s Heavenly Piercing Eye had the wind element so even if Zhao Feng learnt it he couldn¡¯t use it.


    Northern stage.


    The battles continued and Goddess Bing Wei beat her opponent with one move every time.


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng had entered five battles and won all of them.


    Bei Moi won two and lose three whereas Dong Xue lost all five and had a sad expression.


    Wang Xiaoguai had also won five and became fiercer with every fight.


    It was an incredible feat to win five in a row.


    Of course.


    Qin Kunwu, Xia Xianshang and the ghost eyed man all had five victories as well.


    The seventh match.


    Zhao Feng went up again, his opponent this time a youth clad in black at the peak True Human Rank who had a token with a glimpse of silver.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s True Dragon Token only had a glitter of bronze.


    ¡°Hehe youth, your perfect record ends here.¡±


    The youth in black smiled faintly.


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s strongest opponent so far.


    His token told his battle prowess and power.


    ¡°Black Crow Li Chengyun. To have the title of black crow means his speed is fast and not many people can catch him.¡±


    ¡°This guy only reached the top three hundred last time but that increased rapidly this time, becoming a black horse that just beat two bronze token geniuses in a row just then.¡±


    Many people knew this youth in black¡¯s background.


    The black crow Li Chengyun also inspected Zhao Feng.


    Since they were both at the northern stage Li Chengyun also knew that Zhao Feng had won six battles in a row.


    It could be said that these two were both black horses of the Northern stage.


    ¡°Speed is my forte and my cultivation is far higher than yours therefore your eye bloodline has much less an effect on me.¡±


    Black crow Li Chengyun had a relaxed look but in reality was cautious.


    Shua!


    In a flash Lin Chengyun disappeared and in the next instance, a man with black wings appeared in the air.


    Shua! Shua!


    At the same time several blurry figures appeared around Zhao Feng.


    In terms of speed Li Chengyun was even slightly faster than some cultivators at the beginning stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°Anyone under the True Mystic Rank is useless.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and locked onto a figure.


    Eye of Ice Soul!


    The ice blue eye turned into a freezing pond and coldness eroded his mental energy dimension.


    The ghastly fast black crow Li Chengyun suddenly froze.


    He seemed to enter a world of ice and the coldness of mental energy eroded his mind.


    Li Chengyun¡¯s mental energy consciousness was enveloped by an ice blue light and at the end even his thoughts were frozen.


    At this moment it was as if he had aged. His reactions and movements were as slow as a snail. Furthermore, his mental energy consciousness were eroded by the power of ice soul and almost fell into deep sleep.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng raised his foot and kicked Li Chengyun off the stage.


    When the latter fell onto the ground he was still hiccupping and even his thoughts and actions became slow.


    ¡°Luckily I stopped quickly.¡±


    Zhao Feng wiped his cold sweat.


    After his mental energy level increased his eye of Ice Soul¡¯s power also became more terrifying and attacks like this that went straight towards the soul were dangerous. It was easy to accidentally kill someone.


    After winning the seventh match Zhao Feng¡¯s token suddenly turned into pure bronze as his dragon blessing increased.


    Defeating Li Chengyun meant Zhao Feng became one of the powerful black horses of the Northern zone.


    Eight wins, nine wins, ten wins.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s fights continued and his bronze True Dragon Token became brighter.


    Apart from the overwhelming prodigy Goddess Bing Wei and Qin Kunwu and company, the other geniuses all looked at this blue haired youth with wary.


    Of course.


    There wasn¡¯t just Zhao Feng becoming a black horse in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    In the Northern zone there was also Wang Xiaoguai and a couple others.


    At the same time.


    The Eastern, Western, Southern and middle zones all had black horses.


    In the Southern zone Xin Wuheng, Liu Qinxin and company continued their winning streaks and even beat some geniuses that achieved good results in the previous Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    This was especially so for Xin Wuheng who single handily and casually beat his opponents.


    In the Western zone there was also a couple black horses and one of them was a female sword master who defeated her opponents in one move.


    That was Cang Yuyue.


    Zhao Yufei also became one of the four black horses in the Eastern zone.


    Above the arena on the stage the Sovereigns of the Sacred Alliance watched the exciting battles of the five zones.


    ¡°Hehe, no wonder it¡¯s one of the peak generations.¡±


    ¡°In the past generations there was only a couple black horses, not dozens.¡±


    The Sovereigns nodded their head.


    The Deputy Palace Lord at the centre surveyed the surrounding stone statues: ¡°The genius dragon blessings continue to rise and is still going forwards¡­.¡±


    The stone statues that seemed to be legends of ancient eras gave off a mysterious aura and their expressions seemed to change as they watched the battles.


    Weng~~


    A couple stone statues seemed to shake and its aura began to rise.


    ¡°Look!¡±


    One of the Sovereigns stared at the sky above the ancient aura.


    Between the clouds a couple transparent figures had appeared.


    These transparent figures were blurry and palaces, mountains, and libraries could be seen.


    ¡°An inheritance connected with the continent already?¡±


    ¡°Incredible! The Sacred True Dragon Gathering has just begun. Usually ¡®Inheritance Shadowings¡¯ would only appear during the mid-late stages of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    The Sovereigns of the Sacred Alliance were stunned.

 349 Zhao Feng’s Thoughts

    ¡°The aura of this ¡®Inheritance Shadowing¡¯ seems ok but still nowhere near as good as the Four Great Inheritances.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant Deputy Palace Lord looked at the clouds.


    ¡°Hehe, an inheritance shadowing has already appeared. This means that there¡¯ll definitely be more Inheritances that connect with the continent.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, in the past there was usually one or two inheritances and sometimes even none.¡±


    The members of the Sacred Alliance were all very experienced.


    Their eyes were full of expectation and joy.


    A total of nine Sovereigns sat on the stage and looked down at the battles below.


    The battle of five zones was just the first round. The clash between geniuses would open their potential, creating more genius dragon blessings.


    The more black horses there were on the ancient arena, the greater the growth in dragon blessing was.


    Through battle one¡¯s bloodline, talent, battle intent and potential would be released, making the ancient arena change slightly.


    The ancient arena was surrounded by a mountain of stone statues and the aura they gave off was more and more obvious.


    Northern stage.


    Zhao Feng had the feeling as if he was being ¡®surveyed¡¯ by the surrounding stone statues.


    These stone statues were like sleeping gods that watched the battles inside with admiration or disdain.


    ¡°As long as I don¡¯t meet the first-tier geniuses such as Qin Kunwu, the ghost eyed man, Xia Xianshang or the overwhelming prodigy, my dragon blessing will continue to grow.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    There was a total of six to seven hundred geniuses in the Northern zone and it was hard to meet a certain person.


    However, the Sacred True Dragon Gathering also had another rule:


    If wasn¡¯t that you couldn¡¯t challenge a certain person but if you lost you would lose double the original dragon blessing and if you won, you would only win half of the original amount.


    Furthermore, one only had three chances to do this.


    Not many people were willing to do this.


    Even the five overwhelming prodigies wouldn¡¯t easily do this unless it was at the end and they needed to catch up to others.


    ¡°Everything depends on destiny¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng listened to the True Dragon Token and fought whoever he met.


    As of right now his luck wasn¡¯t bad and he didn¡¯t meet the overwhelming prodigy or the three people at the first tier.


    Ten wins¡­ eleven wins¡­. Twelve wins¡­.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s victories increased one by one.


    He could defeat anyone under the True Mystic Rank and would spend the remaining time to comprehend.


    The battle of five zones would continue from ten to fifteen days or even longer.


    Through more than a dozen fights, the situation of the Northern zone became clearer.


    The strongest was obviously the overwhelming prodigy - Goddess Bing Wei.


    Apart from her there was the three on the first tier: Qin Kunwu, ghost eyed man and Xia Xianshang.


    These three were all comparable to Mo Tianyi and Zhao Feng would probably lose against these three.


    After that was the second tier consisting of five to six True Mystic Rank experts.


    Finally, it was the black horses¡¯ turn.


    Black horses meant that they hadn¡¯t participated in the previous Sacred True Dragon Gathering and their tokens were white.


    Currently, there were four true black horses: Bing Shuiyue, Hong Zhan, Zhao Feng and Wang Xiaoguai.


    These four had all won their battles from the start.


    The four horses had the ability and chance to reach the second tier but was still a bit off the first tier.


    ¡°A measly Northern zone has four black horses.¡±


    Qin Kunwu murmured in surprise.


    ¡°Hehe, Brother Qin, I didn¡¯t see wrong. That blue haired kid was indeed a black horse.¡±


    The square faced youth from before smiled faintly.


    ¡°Hmph, of these four black horses Bing Shuiyue and Hong Zhan are at the beginning stages of the True Mystic Rank and was considerably strong. Especially Shuiyue, she¡¯s Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s sister and might be able to threaten me. As for Zhao Feng and Wang Xiaoguai who are at the early and late stages of the True Human Rank respectively, no matter how strong their bloodlines are, it¡¯s hard to achieve any accomplishments.¡±


    Qin Kunwu casually said.


    ¡°I feel like Zhao Feng¡¯s strength isn¡¯t just so but Shuiyue is indeed stronger.¡±


    The square faced youth shook his head.


    At the same time a seventeen to eighteen years old girl with a charming face went on stage.


    This girl was a ¡®cold¡¯ beauty and gave off a chilling aura.


    ¡°This Bing Shuiyue has already won nineteen battles.¡±


    ¡°Apart from Goddess Bing Wei, she¡¯s the Northern zone¡¯s strongest woman.¡±


    The spectators were all surprised at Bing Shuiyue¡¯s looks and strength.


    No one apart from Goddess Bing Wei and the first tier were Bing Shuiyue¡¯s match.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, little beauty, I¡¯ve heard of your Mystic Ice Palace¡¯s skills for a long time. This one would like to challenge you.¡±


    A wretched pimple faced man walked onto the stage. This man¡¯s True Dragon Token emitted a faint silver light and his cultivation had reached the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°It¡¯s Ma Tiansan.¡±


    ¡°This guy came fifty to sixtieth last time. Looks like Bing Shuiyue¡¯s hit a hard bone.¡±


    The spectators were all looking forward to this.


    On one side was the Northern zone¡¯s strongest black horse and the other was a True Mystic Rank expert.


    ¡°Ugly faggot, lose!¡±


    Bing Shuiyue revealed a look of disgust.


    Extreme Northern Ice Wind!


    Bing Shuiyue pushed her hands and an ice blue wind appeared that howled towards Ma Tiansan.


    Goddess Bing Wei had used this move before and her opponents were instantly frozen by this.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­ little beauty, don¡¯t be so urgent. This brother here will satisfy you.¡±


    Ma Tiansan smiled lustfully and waved his arm, sending dozens of dark grey lights towards Bing Shuiyue.


    Boom----


    The clash of the True Mystic Rank caused an explosion that expanded for one mile.


    Qiu----


    Bing Shuiyue retreated in the air wave.


    Ma Tiansan¡¯s cultivation was higher than hers and was more experienced.


    Those at the True Mystic Rank had already comprehended their Roots of a Law and could use the help of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to summon more power. Compared to the true Human Rank they were much stronger.


    Simply said, it was the compatibility between skill and Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    For example, Bing Shuiyue. Apart from her cold Qi of True Spirit she could also call for similar Yuan Qi in the outside world.


    ¡°The Qi of True Spirit of those at the True Mystic Rank are of higher quality and quantity than of True Human Rank. The only difference is that they have comprehended the root of laws and in terms of recovery, absorption of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi or the power and range of skills, it surpasses the True Human Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye got some useful information from the battle between True Mystic Ranks.


    While he was watching, he was also using his Lightning Inheritance in the dimension of his left eye comparing them together.


    Ice Wind Phoenix Wings!


    Bing Shuiyue shouted and an ice phoenix appeared in the air. It seemed to also have an ancient bloodline power added to it.


    ¡°Fuck, this bitch¡¯s gone crazy.¡±


    Ma Tiansan exclaimed as a Spiritual grade weapon appeared in his hand and slashed out, forming an arc dozens of yards long.


    The storm of ice phoenix clashed with the dark grey arc time after time.


    Terrifying air waves extended from one mile to two miles.


    The remaining energy from this battle could almost destroy a village.


    The geniuses watching felt their heart twitch. If a normal True Human Rank fell into this battle they would¡¯ve been ripped to shreds.


    ¡°True Mystic Rank is indeed strong. My mental energy is comparable to the True Mystic Rank. If I really wanted to form a root of laws, eh¡­. In theory I could¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng first sighed at their strength then surprisingly found that his mental energy level was comparable to the True Mystic Rank.


    Apart from the quality and quantity of the Qi of True Spirit, the main difference was mental energy.


    The symbol of a True Mystic Rank was to comprehend and form their own ¡®law root¡¯.


    It was to form a seed that could interact with the Heaven and Earth. The seed was, in reality, the Source of True Spirit because the Source of True Spirit was based off one¡¯s cultivation technique and absorbed the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    In theory as long as one¡¯s mental energy level was enough, they could form a root of law.


    Suddenly.


    A terrifying thought, a devastating plan formed in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Can I do this in ten days¡¯ time?¡±


    ¡°If I succeed, then I¡¯ll at least have the base cultivation comparable to the early stages of the True Mystic Rank and have a higher chance of reaching the top ten. I¡¯ll even have the chance to fight the overwhelming prodigies.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.


    As he thought more and more about it his entire body trembled.


    In theory, this plan could work but the important part was that whether Zhao Feng could form his root of law or not.


    Crack! Peng---


    A shocking slam came from the Northern stage and an ice mountain with terrifying coldness enveloped Ma Tiansan.


    Boom!


    Ma Tiansan was thrown off the stage and almost turned into an ice block as he kept hiccupping with shock: ¡°You just reached the True Mystic Rank not long ago as your root of law is already comparable to the early stages of the True Mystic Rank. Your bloodline is also profound and you definitely received the essence of the Mystic Ice Inheritance¡­.¡±

 350 Picking a Figh

    Northern stage.


    The battle between True Mystic Ranks ended with Bing Shuiyue winning.


    ¡°Indeed, she is worthy of being a rising star of the Mystic Ice Palace. She has just reached the True Mystic Rank not long ago and defeated Ma Tiansan who¡¯s at the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.¡±


    ¡°Apparently Bing Shuiyue and Goddess Bing Wei both received the essence of the Mystic Ice Inheritance.¡±


    The genius¡¯ below sighed in admiration.


    The Mystic Ice Palace was famed across the continent and held one of the four great inheritances, the ¡®Mystic Ice Inheritance¡¯ and they could open it once every dozens of years.


    Of the Ten Great Clans ranking the Mystic Ice Palace was always high and at every Sacred True Dragon Gathering they would have a couple peak prodigies.


    ¡°This Shuiyue¡¯s cultivated in an ice elemental skill that¡¯s better than my Lightning Inheritance and she also has a powerful bloodline¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng watched the battle from beginning to end and felt that Bing Shuiyue¡¯s terrifying strength might be enough to reach Mo Tianyi and Qin Kunwu¡¯s level.


    Ma Tiansan was also incredible and has the chance to reach the top thirty this time. His strength was only below the first tier.


    If Zhao Feng was to face Ma Tiansan, he didn¡¯t have absolute confidence to win and even if he did it would have been a hard-fought battle.


    After this fight.


    Bing Shuiyue became the number one black horse of the Northern stage and was even one of the top black horses across the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°Shuiyue, you did really good this battle.¡±


    The overwhelming prodigy Goddess Bing Wei revealed a rare smile.


    ¡°Big sis, this is just the first round and I was already forced to use my bloodline.¡±


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s breathing rate was slightly fast. Her battle just then wasn¡¯t easy but the bronze True Dragon Token in her hand had started to become silver, meaning that her dragon blessing had increased greatly.


    ¡°Little sis, you need to understand that many geniuses here can challenge those with higher cultivation. It was already incredible for you to beat Ma Tiansan with lower cultivation.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei stroked her sister¡¯s hair with love.


    The Northern stage.


    After twenty fights the situation became clearer.


    Of the four black horses Bing Shuitue was on top, Hong Zhan second with the early stage True Mystic Rank cultivation and he drew with another True Mystic Rank expert.


    Third was Zhao Feng who also won twenty fights and after him in fourth was Wang Xiaoguai.


    However, on the twenty second battle Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s luck was pretty bad and he met Qin Kunwu.


    Qin Kunwu was a legend across the continent and was even ranked higher than Mo Tianyi in the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Boom!


    Wang Xiaoguai activated his bloodline power as soon as he went on stage and his eyes flashed with sizzles of purple gold and his muscles bulked, making him seem like a mini giant.


    In that instant his physical attributes reached a terrifying state that could rip apart normal True Mystic Ranks with his bare hand.


    Earth Hell Wind Cloud Stick!!


    Wang Xiaoguai waved his gold and silver stick around and blurs with devastating wind covered a one-hundred-yard radius.


    In terms of battle power Wang Xiaoguai was almost comparable to a True Mystic Rank.


    His bloodline power was very unique. The more injured he was the more battle power he had.


    ¡°Gankun Righteous Air Technique.¡±


    Qin Kunwu¡¯s eyes were like stars and his body radiated a large amount of Qi of True Spirit that connected to the heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Hu~~


    A purple star light instantly shone over a mile radius.


    Ta!


    Qin Kunwu exclaimed and a palm consisting of purple star light enveloped the place. It had the air of righteousness and suppressed the demons and beasts.


    Wang Xiaoguai crazily waved his stick of devastating wind but still crumpled.


    ¡°Bam!¡±


    The overwhelming power instantly made Wang Xiaoguai cough out blood.


    This difference in strength couldn¡¯t be caught up with bloodline or skill.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised at Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s lose. After all, the opponent was Mo Tianyi¡¯s level and had the chance to reach the top twenty if not top ten.


    ¡°Unfortunately, it was too fast¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye locked onto Qin Kunwu¡¯s Qi of True Spirit and how his root of law had interacted with the heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    However, Qin Kunwu¡¯s battle power was stronger than imagine and suppressed Wang Xiaoguai in just one move. The latter didn¡¯t have any chance at all.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and merged his consciousness into his Source of True Spirit to feel the profoundness.


    ¡°My Source of True Spirit¡¯s profoundness mainly comes from the Lightning Inheritance and then the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.¡±


    Zhao Feng analysed bit by bit.


    Once there was a True Mystic Rank fighting he would watch their battle regardless which zone it was in.


    Through these inspections, he gained some insights.


    ¡°The root of laws is to form a ¡®root¡¯ with one¡¯s comprehension and use this to borrow power from the Heaven and Earth.¡±


    A line of thought appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart.


    The root of law was to use the Source of True Spirit as a seed then use mental energy to sense the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    This way the cultivators every move would become more powerful.


    Because those at the True Mystic Rank had their root of laws every one of their actions could call their power of Heaven and Earth but only those at the True Lord Rank could directly ¡®summon¡¯ heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Of course, those at the True Mystic Rank could also direct the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi but only similar to the effect of ¡®calling.¡¯


    After this train of thought became clear.


    Zhao Feng still needed two steps to form his ¡®root of laws¡¯.


    Firstly, he needed to comprehend the Heaven Earth Laws and needed to have a high enough understanding.


    This was the key step that Zhao Feng lacked.


    The second part was that he needed to form a root of law within his mental energy world by using the Source of True Spirit as the seed.


    Zhao Feng could only do this if his mental energy was high enough.


    ¡°The key part is the first point. I need to merge the Lightning Inheritance and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible to comprehend a unique law.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and started to comprehend.


    In reality, he could form a root of law for any one of the two Lightning Inheritance and root of law and this would be much easier but Zhao Feng wanted perfection. He wanted to form a root of law on the merging of the Lightning Inheritance and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    This meant that the complexity and difficulty of forming the root of law was several times the norm.


    Luckily Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t a normal person and had the help of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye as well as a large source of mental energy which also allowed him to have high understanding and comprehension.


    Within his mind.


    Profound lines of lightning interacted with faint flowers.


    At the same time.


    The lightning symbol on Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead flashed and had the signs of cracking.


    ¡°It¡¯s not hard for me to comprehend the root of law but the only problem is time.¡±


    Zhao Feng must complete his root of law between ten to fifteen days.


    Only this way would he be able to aim for a higher place.


    Time passed.


    Zhao Feng was immersed in his world of mental energy and the insights of laws surrounded his body.


    In the blink of an eye several days had passed.


    The five zone battles continued.


    On the Northern stage.


    The overwhelming prodigy Goddess Bing Wei still stood supreme.


    Qin Kunwu and the ghost eyed man still didn¡¯t have any losses.


    It was Xia Xianshang¡¯s luck who was bad and met Goddess Bing Wei before losing in two to three moves.


    The middle stage.


    ¡°Unparalleled under the heavens!¡±


    Yun Tianhao¡¯s palm filled with a mysterious light that crushed everything in its path and made the stage tremble.


    A golden dragon seemed to appear from him and seemed to roar.


    Peng!


    Prince Jin spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying from the stage as a bitterness appeared on his mouth.


    It was unknown whether it was glory or sadness to spar with the number one prodigy Yu Tianhao.


    Yu Tianhao was at the peak True Mystic Rank and his strength was enough to move those at the True Lord Rank.


    Furthermore, the Unparalleled under the Heavens skill was a technique that made other inheritances lose their colour.


    On the Northern stage.


    Zhao Feng suddenly opened his eyes.


    Weng~


    His True Dragon Token suddenly shook and directed him towards the stage.


    ¡°The forty fourth match. My turn.¡±


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly stood up and jumped onto the northern stage.


    After forty-four continuous wins, Zhao Feng became one of the black horses of the Northern stage.


    At this stage his True Dragon Token had turned deep bronze and had a sizzle of silver.


    It was because Zhao Feng was strong and lucky that he was able to reach this result.


    The reason why he was lucky was that Zhao Feng still hadn¡¯t met the overwhelming prodigy or the first-tier geniuses.


    On the contrary Wang Xiaoguai and Hong Zhan had all met powerful opponents and lost before.


    Even Bing Shuiyue had met Ma Tiansan, a True Mystic Rank expert.


    Shua!


    A cold snow robed girl suddenly floated onto the Northern stage. It was a face made of ice that could destroy countries.


    The powerful True Mystic Rank aura interacted with the Heaven Earth Ice Yuan Qi and formed a terrifying coldness.


    Si!


    Zhao Feng hiccupped and the coldness was enough to chill the bone.


    Hua!


    Exclaims came from below the Northern stage as they were filled with excitement and expectation but more of it was gloating.


    ¡°Looks like my luck isn¡¯t very good.¡±


    Zhao Feng first wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible, but the opponent was the head of the four black horses ¡®Bing Shuiyue.¡¯


    ¡°Bing Shuiyue, you challenged Zhao Feng. If you win, you can only win half the original amount and if you lose, you¡¯ll lose double the norm.¡±


    The judge spoke and warned once more.


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s cold eyes locked onto Zhao Feng.


    Hearing this Zhao Feng was shocked. His fight was because Bing Shuiyue had challenged him and not a random match.


    The rules did state that one could challenge another but everyone had only three chances.


    ¡°Bing Shuiyue, why are you challenging me?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped as his eyes flashed.

 351 Copying Secret Technique

    This beauty was Zhao Feng¡¯s most powerful opponent that he had met so far. The key point was that their battle wasn¡¯t directed by the True Dragon Token but man-made.


    This made him think. Apart from participating in the fights, he spent most of the time comprehending his root of law and didn¡¯t pay much attention to the outside world.


    In reality, the truth wasn¡¯t complex.


    ¡°Of the four black horses of the northern stage, only Bing Shuiyue and Zhao Feng have forty-four wins.¡±


    ¡°That blue haired brat¡¯s luck had always been good. That¡¯s why he could be on par with Bing Shuiyue.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, looks like Bing Shuiyue is indeed as competitive as her sister. She won¡¯t allow such a thing to happen.¡±


    Most of the geniuses were playful, waiting to watch a good show.


    Bing Shuiyue stood quietly on stage and her eyes were filled with disgust and disdain.


    ¡°A measly early stage True Human Rank is on par with me? This is a humiliation towards the entire Northern zone. I am the number one black horse.¡±


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and became more disgusted but Zhao Feng¡¯s luck was always good and didn¡¯t lose.


    She wanted to truly become the number one black horse of the Northern zone and even become the entire Sacred True Dragon¡¯s number one black horse star.


    This was why she had challenged Zhao Feng.


    ¡°No wonder. It¡¯s good that I¡¯m also comprehending the root of law and she¡¯s just reached the True Mystic Rank not long ago so I can use her to help me. Furthermore, her bloodline power¡¯s element is the same as mine.¡±


    Zhao Feng easily accepted the reality.


    Although he didn¡¯t have much of a chance of winning, she could help him improve.


    ¡°Blue haired brat, your good luck ends here.¡±


    Bing Shuiyue said in disdain as her True Spirit Realm coldness enveloped Zhao Feng.


    She had just broken through to the True Mystic Rank not long ago and her root of law was comparable to the early stages of the True Mystic Rank, meaning that her skills were powerful.


    Therefore.


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s full cold aura could instantly destroy a normal True Human Rank¡¯s will to battle.


    ¡°Damn it¡¯s cold.¡±


    Zhao Feng hiccupped but his mental energy remained unharmed.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and locked onto Bing Shuiyue.


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s snow robe started to fade away in Zhao Feng¡¯s eye and transparency was only one of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes basic power.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do this because he was a pervert. In a flash Bing Shuiyue¡¯s figure was replaced by blood and Qi of True Spirit. Her bloodline power was also shown.


    The clearest one was the Qi of True Spirit which extended throughout the body.


    ¡°Shameless bastard!¡±


    Bing Shuiyue sensed something and her face went red before turning freezing cold.


    Extreme Northern Ice Wind!


    Bing Shuiyue exclaimed and waved her jade hand, summoning ice blue winds howling towards Zhao Feng.


    Crazy attacks.


    A radius of one mile was filled with the winds of the Extreme Northern Ice Wind.


    Just one wind alone was enough to instantly freeze a peak True Human Rank into an ice block.


    Since she was angry and embarrassed Bing Shuiyue continuously sent out seven to eight Extreme Northern Ice Winds which would even injure normal True Mystic Rank¡¯s.


    Si! Si!


    Zhao Feng only felt a chilling feeling come over that even made his Qi of True Spirit circulate.


    The root of law that a True Mystic Rank expert created could suppress those at the True Human Rank.


    Furthermore, her cultivation and skills were both superior to Zhao Feng.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng turned into a streak of lightning that disappeared from his original spot.


    Shua Shua!


    Two to three Zhao Feng¡¯s covered in a layer of lightning appeared in the air the next second.


    Amongst them two were clones made from Zhao Feng¡¯s Yin Shadow Cloak.


    Boom! Bam! Bam!


    The icy winds exploded and instantly crushed towards where Zhao Feng was at, destroying two clones in the process.


    At this moment.


    Zhao Feng was forced to retreat and made to use his Claw of Lightning as well as Waves of Lightning but nothing could stop it.


    The superiority in root of law, cultivation and skills was too much.


    ¡°This girl is indeed worthy of being close to Mo Tianyi and Qin Kunwu¡¯s level.¡±


    Zhao Feng would definitely lose in a head on clash.


    He hadn¡¯t used his bloodline power yet nor his four eye bloodline powers. Currently he was only using his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye as well as his advantage in speed.


    Yet Bing Shuiyue hadn¡¯t used her bloodline power as well or her killing moves.


    Claw of Lightning!


    Extreme Northern Ice Wind!


    The Claw of Lightning slashed towards the Extreme Northern Ice Wind!


    Crack!


    The Claw of Lightning instantly broke and the remaining wind swept towards Zhao Feng.


    Teleportation Lightning step!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure disappeared and reappeared several yards out, dodging the core of the move.


    The spectators watched with twitching hearts.


    Zhao Feng was like a walking on a tightrope. Any mistake would result in becoming an ice block.


    However, Zhao Feng could always evade the danger. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could control the situation and inspect Bing Shuiyue¡¯s path of Qi of True Spirit, including where it went and then estimate which route it would take.


    Shua! Qiu! Qiu!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s movement skill of the merged Lightning Inheritance and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible was quick and agile.


    Bing Shuiyue didn¡¯t specialise in speed and all her attacking routes were¡¯ spied¡¯ upon by Zhao Feng, allowing him to succeed in evading every time.


    ¡°Although you''re strong and I can¡¯t take your moves straight on but if you can¡¯t hit me what else can you do?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed by on the stage and seemed to slightly casual.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye locked onto Bing Shuiyue right from the beginning and inspected her usage of the root of law.


    The geniuses below who were waiting to watch a show took back their playfulness and underestimation.


    Some of the top geniuses instead had solemn expressions.


    ¡°Although this Zhao Feng doesn¡¯t seem to be winning, he¡¯s actually the one controlling the situation.¡±


    Xia Xianshang¡¯s expression became wary.


    He was thinking about the result if all his sword routes were all seen by Zhao Feng on top of his agile speed.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s eye bloodline has this rare ability?¡±


    The ghost eyed man¡¯s eyes flashed with jealously.


    Firstly, his bloodline power could take the initiative and secondly, his large source of mental energy could allow him to accomplish an incredible feat in the path of mental energy illusions.


    Furthermore, instinct told him that Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye wasn¡¯t as simple as it looked because his own eye bloodline became uneasy when it met Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Shuiyue¡¯s being led by this brat.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei who was watching raised her eyebrows.


    Dozens of moves later.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed everywhere and had a bit of the style the ¡®Water Moon Pirate¡¯ once had.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye kept on locking onto Bing Shuiyue and only defended.


    Bing Shuiyue wasn¡¯t dumb and regained her calmness, not wasting her Qi of True Spirit.


    ¡°If that¡¯s so¡­¡±


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s expression was cold and she snickered as her Qi of True Spirit started to spread rapidly.


    Not good!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically. He saw Bing Shuiyue¡¯s root of law bloom to a maximum and a dangerous feeling appeared.


    Ice Blade Windstorm!


    Bing Shuiyue exclaimed as she leapt into the sky and kept on moving her hands, sending wind storms in every direction.


    What was more terrifying was that ice shards would appear next to the wind storm and would even crush mountains.


    Bing Shuiyue danced around and the range of the ice blade wind storm increased to a hundred yards.


    Wherever she went, that devastating windstorm would follow her.


    Being an expert at the True Mystic Rank, Bing Shuiyue¡¯s speed wasn¡¯t much slower than Zhao Feng. The main difference between her and Zhao Feng was agility but with the ice blade wind storm, she decreased the space Zhao Feng had to dodge.


    ¡°The range of attacks from the True Mystic Rank surpasses the True Human Rank by more than a level.¡±


    Zhao Feng landed on the ground with a solemn expression.


    Three Flowered Treasured Lotus!


    With a calm expression, a three-coloured lotus appeared under Zhao Feng¡¯s feet.


    Weng~


    Three petals of green, blue and purple extended from the lotus, forming a three-coloured barrier.


    Ding- Tok! Tok!


    Sparks flew everywhere on the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus and the hits from the ice blade wind storm made the three coloured petals fade in colour.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as he stood on the three-flower treasured lotus.


    The defensive capabilities of the three flowered Treasured lotus was without a doubt powerful.


    The Three Flowered Treasured Lotus gave off a hypnosis and hormone smell that made Bing Shuiyue exclaim and retreat dozens of yards.


    ¡°Shameless!¡±


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s face was slightly red and her body became hot.


    She stared at Zhao Feng with disgust but the latter didn¡¯t mind and murmured: ¡°This girl¡¯s inheritance and skill is powerful and therefore has a good root of law allowing her to be compared to the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.¡±


    At this point Zhao Feng had understood Bing Shuiyue¡¯s root of law.


    Zhao Feng had grasped the technique and direction to form the root of law but lacked time.


    At this instance Bing Shuiyue attacked again as lines of ice appeared on her skin.


    ¡°Ice Wind Phoenix Wings!¡±


    The wind storm in the air suddenly gathered and increased in power.


    At last that devastating power condensed into an ice phoenix that brought a pressure from the ancient times.


    ¡°This is your bloodline power?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline trembled slightly and the ancient aura made breathing for him difficult.


    Even though he had the three flowered Treasured Lotus, it was hard for him to face this move.


    However, at this dangerous moment Zhao Feng became calm.


    Under the locking of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he saw Bing Shuiyue¡¯s usage of her bloodline power.


    ¡°Since her bloodline has the same element as mine, it should be suitable for me.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    Shua!


    A diagram of how bloodline was supposed to used appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind according to how Bing Shuiyue used it was copied onto himself.


    God¡¯s Spiritual Eye - Copy!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye gave off a mysterious blue light and in the next instant, he mimicked Bing Shuiyue¡¯s hand actions, waving them in the air.


    Huang!


    A large but blurry figure appeared behind Zhao Feng. It was magnificent and sat on an incomplete ice throne, like the Lord of Winte

 352 Flaming Eye’s Power

    Ever since the Capital, Zhao Feng¡¯s usage of bloodline was much better than before.


    Weng~


    A large mysterious figure around a yard high appeared behind Zhao Feng but this time it was clearer than in the past.


    The only difference was that under the figure a blurry ¡®throne of ice¡¯ seemed to appear and it gave off an ancient aura.


    ¡°That¡¯s!¡±


    On the spectating stand the Mystic Ice Queen inspected the figure behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back with surprise.


    That figure was obviously a power that traced back to its ancestor.


    However, such a pure and old bloodline power was something that even the Mystic Ice Queen didn¡¯t know about.


    Break!


    Zhao Feng shouted and thrust out his palm like a flower blooming and thunder crackling.


    With this palm the Lightning Inheritance and Mystic Ice Treasured Bible¡¯s insights merged perfectly together and its effect wasn¡¯t as simple as one plus one.


    Obviously, Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension of the root of law of the past few days had improved.


    Hu~


    The palm was surrounded by a figure of ice that could freeze blood.


    The palm Zhao Feng thrust out expanded to a flower of ice and lightning around ten yards large.


    Boom----


    The ice phoenix clashed with the flower of ice and lightning, creating a terrifying booming sound.


    Crack!


    The flower of ice and lightning exploded in the air.


    Hu!


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s Ice Wind Phoenix Wings still had the advantage and charged towards Zhao Feng even though it was incomplete.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. There was major difference in cultivation between the two.


    Bam!


    The remaining power of the Ice Wind Phoenix Wings smashed onto the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus and made the three petals tremble.


    Wu!


    The mysterious figure behind Zhao Feng roared deeply and gave a mysterious protection which made the coldness disappear as soon as it came close.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­ your hand actions were the exact same as mine! You stole my technique!¡±


    Bing Shuiyue looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief. She didn¡¯t expect him to have such a powerful bloodline power.


    The weird thing was that Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline element was the same as hers.


    Back at the Canopy Great Country Prince Jin and Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s bloodline secret technique were different so Zhao Feng could only look at it to improve his own.


    Now that he had met someone with the same bloodline element, he could directly copy it.


    ¡°How is this stealing your technique? Ice elemental bloodlines isn¡¯t something that only the Mystic Ice Palace has.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death. Although your bloodline might be strong the difference in cultivation and mastery can¡¯t be closed in upon.¡±


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s face was cold as she once again attacked.


    Ice Wind Phoenix Wings!


    An ice blue windstorm condensed to an even large ice phoenix that crushed down towards Zhao Feng.


    Ice Lightning Mystic Flower!


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power and thrust out his palm, clashing directly with the ice phoenix as thunder boomed.


    Pa! Bam! Boom-


    This time, Zhao Feng¡¯s skill became more familiar and he could directly face Bing Shuiyue.


    In terms of pure damage Zhao Feng¡¯s power of ice and lightning was stronger than just ice but Bing Shuiyue¡¯s cultivation had reached the True Mystic Rank and had a root of law that gave her a massive advantage.


    Therefore, in the clashes Zhao Feng was still at a disadvantage but was doing much better than just evading.


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and felt troubled.


    Zhao Feng had the three Flowered Treasured Lotus for defence and had the mysterious protection of the ice throne behind him.


    The coldness that broke through the defence would mysteriously disappear when it got close to Zhao Feng and as time passed the figure behind Zhao Feng became bright instead.


    ¡°This blue haired brat¡¯s so fierce! He¡¯s already able to face Bing Shuiyue.¡±


    ¡°Looks like the number one black horse of the Northern stage is still unknown.¡±


    The spectators were surprised.


    Qin Kunwu, Xia Xianshang and the ghost eyed man were all surprised as well.


    The eyes of the overwhelming prodigy Goddess Bing Wei flashed with stun: ¡°His bloodline can even absorb the power of ice.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline inheritance could defend as well as attack.


    Adding on the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus, he couldn¡¯t lose.


    Shua! Sou Sou!


    The Three Flowered Treasured Lotus suddenly flew around and slowly, his defence turned into offense.


    Pa! Bam! Boom---


    Zhao Feng and Bing Shuiyue clashed on the northern stage and none of them gave way.


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s aura was stronger whereas Zhao Feng was more agile and his flower of ice and lightning would blossom every time.


    ¡°Looks like the two black horses of the Northern stage are not bad.¡±


    ¡°The two black horses¡¯ strength are comparable to the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.¡±


    The battle on the Northern stage attracted the gazes of the crowd.


    ¡°Little sister¡¯s won.¡±


    After being silent for a long time Goddess Bing Wei finally murmured.


    Being an overwhelming prodigy, this was her conclusion.


    Who would win and who would lose?


    Qin Kunwu, Xia Xianshang and the ghost eyed man were all thinking.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is indeed a black horse which even I didn¡¯t see but unfortunately he¡¯s going to lose.¡±


    Qin Kunwu said with certainty.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    The square faced youth asked curiously. He thought highly of Zhao Feng and his exchange with Bing Shuiyue was stunning.


    ¡°Any bloodline inheritance can¡¯t last forever.¡±


    Qin Kunwu smiled.


    Hearing this the square faced youth¡¯s expression changed slightly but then he sighed, as if admitting Qin Kunwu¡¯s knowledge.


    ¡°Once he loses the protection of his bloodline power, how will he face a True Mystic Rank?¡±


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s eyes flashed with smugness.


    Although she couldn¡¯t take care of Zhao Feng right now, she still had the advantage.


    The clash of the two would deplete both their bloodline power and bloodlines was an inheritance that was hard to replenish.


    In terms of recovery speed bloodlines were much slower than Qi of True Spirit.


    Furthermore, Bing Shuiyue believed that with her usage of bloodline, she would last longer than Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Am I going to lose?¡±


    How could Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye not see the current situation?


    As the fight continued his bloodline power was depleting but he didn¡¯t want to lose like this.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be her match physically unless I form my root of law. Looks like I can only try mental energy.¡±


    Zhao Feng analysed.


    Swords, fists and Qi of True Spirit were all physical attacks that appeared in reality.


    ¡°Eye of Illusion? With her root of law being so powerful, her mental energy level is definitely not low. Eye of Ice Soul? She cultivates the ice element so should have strong resistance against mental energy. Eye of the Heart? Those from the Mystic Ice palace are cold and it¡¯s hard to find a flaw.¡±


    Zhao Feng considered his three eye bloodline techniques but found that the best was the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye was the best choice.


    Fire and Ice countered one another and the Eye of Lightning Fire was formed from both Lightning and Fire that attacked through the physical and mental energy dimension.


    Of course.


    Zhao Feng still had a choice and that was the Water Moon God Peach Fan to fire a direct mental energy attack. The person with more mental energy had a bigger advantage.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought and decided.


    Weng~


    Inside his dantian, a wisp of True Spirit Lightning Fire suddenly jumped. A faint blue blood then connected this True Spirit Lightning Fire into the dimension of his left eye.


    Within the dimension of his left eye.


    The half transparent True Spirit Lightning Fire merged with the freezing pond.


    Peng Peng Peng Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye thumped with a weird rhythm.


    The freezing pond in his left eye suddenly became surrounded with a half transparent azure flame of lightning and fire that revolved like it had life.


    With the merging of the eye power and True Spirit Lightning Flame, the latter seemed to become Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®eye¡¯.


    At this moment in time.


    The edges of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye were surrounded by a faint azure lightning flame that spun quickly.


    ¡°That¡¯s!¡±


    Bing Shuiyue¡¯s heart trembled and felt uneasy.


    ¡°How... how is this possible?¡±


    The ghost eyed man watching shouted with shock: ¡°This is my Wu family¡¯s Ghost Eye Eye Flame technique!¡±


    ¡°Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye¡­. open!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye flashed.


    Shu!


    A faint azure lightning flame appeared out of nowhere and burnt Bing Shuiyue¡¯s body with a ¡®boom¡¯. This wasn¡¯t just a normal fire.


    In the blink of an eye that azure lightning flame started to burn and even extended into the mental energy dimension.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡±


    Bing Shuiyue screamed as her face turned pale and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.


    She circulated her Qi of True Spirit and bright lines appeared on her skin.


    Shu~


    Most of the flames on her was soon put out but the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye¡¯s speed was too fast and would hit the target almost at the same instance it was used.


    When the lightning fire was put out Bing Shuiyue¡¯s skin was scorched but more danger came from the mental energy dimension.


    The Lightning Fore God¡¯s Eye was merged from Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and True Spirit Lightning Fire so it would also burn the mental energy dimension.


    Facing the soul attack, Bing Shuiyue had less defensive methods.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡±


    Bing Shuiyue howled and rolled on the ground.


    The invisible lightning fire was burning in her mental energy dimension and made her experience pain she had never felt before.


    ¡°Little sister!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s expression changed drastically.


    ¡°Blue haired brat¡­ how dare you steal our Wu family¡¯s ghost eye flame secret technique?¡±


    The ghost eyed man roared.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye was obviously copied off him but was even more powerful than his.


    At this moment in time the ghost eyed man gritted his teeth in anger and jealously.


    ¡°Wait, this kid¡¯s bloodlines most terrifying power should be inspecting and copying the opponent¡¯s skills.¡±


    The ghost eyed man suddenly thought of something and couldn¡¯t help but take a cold breath.


    Being one of the successors of the three major eye families, this was the first time he had heard of such a monstrous eye bloodline.

 353 The Overwhelming Prodigy’s Challenge

    Northern stage.


    From the overwhelming prodigies to the normal geniuses and spectators across the continent, they were all in shock.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye flashed and a half transparent flame had landed on Bing Shuiyue.


    Victory was decided in the blink of an eye.


    No one had thought that the change would be so fast.


    A moment before Bing Shuiyue had the absolute advantage but now was rolling around as if she would rather be dead.


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. The Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eyes¡¯ power had exceeded his expectations and instantly forced the opponent into a life or death situation.


    At this moment the half transparent lightning fire was burning Bing Shuiyue¡¯s soul and that pain was ten to one hundred times more painful than physical pain.


    ¡°Little sister! Shuiyue¡­ quickly admit defeat.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei and the Mystic Ice Queen on the spectating stand exclaimed.


    Plop!


    Bing Shuiyue screamed and then fainted.


    Shua!


    The judge waved the True Dragon Flag as he looked deeply towards Zhao Feng.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s True Dragon Token became much brighter and turned from deep bronze to faint silver.


    His dragon blessing increased by a huge margin.


    When Zhao Feng came from the stage he saw Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s cold killing intent as well as the ghost eyed man¡¯s jealousy and rage.


    Although his fame had grown after this fight he had offended one of the overwhelming prodigies and caused the ghost eyed man to be jealous.


    ¡°The main point is to quickly form the root of law.¡±


    Zhao Feng sat down and insights merged in his mind and interacted with the surrounding Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Now.


    The battle of five zones had entered the late stages and in the Northern stage four black horses, only Zhao Feng had forty-five wins.


    The fight just then made Zhao Feng become the number one black horse of the Northern stage.


    At the same moment, there was also black horses from the East, South, West and middle zones.


    The Southern zone had four black horses including Xin Wuheng and Liu Qinxin. Xin Wuheng fought with only one hand and even defeated someone at the True Mystic Rank.


    Above the arena on the stage.


    The nine Sovereigns watched the arena with surprised expressions.


    ¡°This Xin Wuheng is so young but has the feeling of a Master. He doesn¡¯t have any bloodline nor good talent but is able to reach this step. Weird, weird.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant Deputy Palace Lord thought.


    ¡°It is indeed a miracle and he¡¯s even suppressed his true cultivation level.¡±


    ¡°The eye bloodline of the blue haired kid from the Northern zone is also strong and is at least on par with the three major eye families. Zhe zhe, maybe it might have some connection with one of the Eight Great God Eye¡¯s.¡±


    The Sovereigns discussed their thoughts.


    The dragon blessing of this generation was incredibly strong and the amount and quality of the black horses surpassed the past.


    Each one of the five overwhelming prodigies could crush several generations.


    In the clouds.


    Another blurry figure appeared. In this picture green grass, humans and even two-winged people or snake bodied human could be seen.


    ¡°Eh? Another inheritance shadowing appeared.¡±


    The Sovereigns raised their head.


    ¡°This is the Green Ocean Inheritance and contains several species that are now extinct from the continent. This Inheritance only appeared once ten thousand years ago.¡±


    ¡°The Green Ocean Inheritances¡¯ value is indeed not bad and close to the Four Great Inheritances.¡±


    The smiles of the Sovereigns became broader.


    The first round of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering hadn¡¯t even ended yet and two inheritance shadowings had appeared.


    Even in Sword Saint Ye Wuxie, the Scarlet Moon patriarch¡¯s era, no such thing had happened.


    The only regretful thing was that any one of the four Great Inheritances hadn¡¯t been seen yet


    If not even one of the Four Great Inheritances appeared then it would be too sorry for this generation.


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic, the four great inheritances only appear at the last moment.¡±


    The bronze skinned Deputy Palace Lord smiled faintly.


    Even though this era was powerful, the dragon blessing wouldn¡¯t reach a peak until the late stages of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Northern zone.


    Zhao Feng sat cross legged on the ground and put all his focus into the root of law.


    Within his dantian came tremble. This was the source of all of Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation. His insights and everything was based here.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s insights started to appear in his mind and faint azure wisps occasionally appeared that merged into the earth.


    At this moment.


    The root of law had begun to form in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    ¡°If it was just the Lightning Inheritance, I might have already formed a root of law¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed.


    He knew that he wasn¡¯t even in the True Mystic Rank but was trying to form a root of law.


    Furthermore, he was greedy and wanted to merge the essence of the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible into it.


    However, although Zhao Feng now had no path for retreat, he didn¡¯t regret it.


    ¡°The strength of the root of law affect one¡¯s strength later on. For example, Bing Shuiyue had only just reached the True Mystic Rank but was able to beat Ma Tiansan.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t take a step back and gritted his teeth.


    Under this pressure, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes; learning skills and comprehension reached a peak as his potential was discovered.


    The insights within Zhao Feng¡¯s mind may have clashed a thousand times already.


    Weng~


    The True Dragon Token directed Zhao Feng onto the stage.


    ¡°I surrender.¡±


    A late-stage True Human Rank youth pouted and admitted defeated without thinking.


    After beating Bing Shuiyue Zhao Feng was now the number one black horse of the North and his strength was comparable to the first tier.


    When he went off stage.


    Zhao Feng felt a coldness that chilled his body.


    Looking around.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes were filled with cold killing intent and next to her was Bing Shuiyue who had a pale face.


    The Mystic Ice Queen crossed her hands and was treating her disciple.


    ¡°Master, can¡¯t you do anything?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei asked.


    Ever since the fight, Bing Shuiyue had entered a situation of life or death.


    Luckily there was an origin Core Realm Sovereign here and Spiritual Pills that saved her life.


    ¡°Shuiyue has left the danger zone but the injury on her soul can¡¯t be healed within a short amount of time. I¡¯m just worried that this will injure Shuiyue¡¯s root of law and if it¡¯s serious, she won¡¯t be able to improve anymore.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen sighed.


    ¡°Then doesn¡¯t that mean¡­¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei gritted her teeth unwillingly.


    ¡°Yes, she can¡¯t continue to participate in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering anymore.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen said with force as she looked deeply at Zhao Feng¡¯s back and fell into silence.


    Even a Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm couldn¡¯t interfere in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Every genius in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering had the protection of the Sacred Alliance, especially those that made it into the top one hundred.


    Furthermore, she remembered that Zhao Feng came from the Iron Blood Religion.


    Because no one died or was crippled, she couldn¡¯t interfere amongst the juniors.


    Damn it!


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eye flashed with killing intent and the surrounding air was covered with ice.


    ¡°Sovereign, I would like to challenge Zhao Feng.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei took out her shining gold True Dragon Token and her dragon blessing covered the entire Northern zone.


    According to the Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s rules, everyone had three chances to challenge someone.


    Before Bing Shuiyue had used this way to challenge Zhao Feng and this time Goddess Bing Wei was going to do the same to avenge her sister.


    ¡°Although I can¡¯t purposely kill on the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, I¡¯ll kill you even if I have to lose some of my dragon blessing. I will at least cripple you and destroy your cultivation.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s face was filled with killing intent and her snow white almost perfect face was twisted.


    The overwhelming prodigy¡¯s True Dragon Token roared and a faint gold dragon wrapped around Goddess Bing Wei.


    ¡°My god, what¡¯s Goddess Bing Wei doing?¡±


    ¡°Challenging a black horse as an overwhelming prodigy?¡±


    This scene shocked the entire ancient arena.


    ¡®Yu Tianhao¡¯ from the Middle zone, ¡°Tantai Lanyue¡¯ from the Eastern zone, ¡°Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯ from the Southern zone and ¡®Shi Chengtian¡¯ from the Western zone all sensed something and turned towards the Northern zone.


    Instantly.


    Five gold dragon blessings rose from the five zones.


    At this moment in time, the first round of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering entered a peak and the atmosphere was hyped. Countless geniuses felt their blood boil.


    Weng~ Huang!


    The surrounding stone statues became more and more real.


    The pressure from it rose rapidly and even those at the Origin Core Realm couldn¡¯t stand it.


    This aura was magnificent, powerful and seemed to come from the ancient eras.


    ¡°The ancient arena seems to have ignited the great ancient era¡¯s powers. This is indeed a supreme era.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant Deputy Palace Lord¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement.


    Furthermore.


    Another shadow appeared from the clouds.


    This time.


    The picture was filled with clouds and the scenes seemed to be piled up of oceans of blood and mountains of corpses that even the geniuses within the ancient arena could feel.


    ¡°My lord! It¡¯s the inheritance shadowing from the Scarlet Moon Inheritance!¡±


    ¡°Why has the Scarlet Moon inheritance appeared so fast?¡±


    The Scarlet Moon Inheritance was indeed worthy of being one of the Four Great Inheritances. It had just appeared and pushed the other two inheritances to the side.

 354 Done for Someone Else

    No one thought that before even the first round of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering had finished, the inheritance shadowing from the Scarlet Moon Inheritance would appear.


    The Scarlet Moon Inheritance was ranked 3rd of the Four Great Inheritances and the Scarlet Moon patriarch had received this inheritance.


    This Sovereigns at the Sacred Alliance were stunned.


    ¡°Wait, there¡¯s something wrong. Although this generation is full of geniuses and has five overwhelming prodigies, the first round is still not enough to attract the four great inheritances.¡±


    The bronze skinned Deputy Palace Lord furrowed his eyebrows and felt something was off.


    Weng~


    The bloody picture in the clouds became blurry and seemed to be unstable.


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Shua!¡±


    A large bloodied hand around a hundred yards long appeared in front of the Scarlet Moon inheritance.


    Shua!


    The Scarlet Moon Inheritance shadowing instantly disappeared.


    ¡°What!?¡±


    ¡°What just happened!?¡±


    The Sovereigns of the Sacred Alliance widened their eyes in shock.


    Although the Scarlet Moon Inheritance hadn¡¯t connected yet, it¡¯s inheritance shadowing had already appeared.


    How would an inheritance shadowing disappear?


    ¡°Who has the power to move the Scarlet Moon Inheritance?¡±


    The Sovereigns looked at each other.


    ¡°There¡¯s two requirements to do this: 1. Have the cultivation of close to the Void God Realm and 2. Must be connected to the Scarlet Moon Inheritance in some way and can summon it with a secret skill.:¡±


    The Deputy Palace Lord took a deep breath.


    Only one person fulfilled the two above requirements.


    Who was it?


    ¡°The Scarlet Moon Patriarch!¡±


    The Sacred Alliance Sovereigns exclaimed.


    ¡°What terrifying calculation. Our Sacred True Dragon Gathering was all done for someone else.¡±


    ¡°The dragon blessing from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and the Scarlet Moon Patriarch¡¯s planning made the Scarlet Moon Inheritance appeared again.¡±


    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong the Scarlet Moon Demon must be in the continent somewhere opening the Scarlet Moon Inheritance.¡±


    The Sovereigns soon came to a conclusion.


    Everything was done for someone else.


    Thinking about this result the nine Sovereigns were angry and unwilling.


    Back then the Scarlet Moon patriarch had almost swept across the entire continent and to make it to that step, the Scarlet Moon patriarch¡¯s strength and methods were unparalleled.


    ¡°Deputy Palace Lord, should we send people to find the place where the Scarlet Moon Inheritance will be opened and stop their revival?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, destroy the demon religion.¡±


    The current Sovereigns gritted their teeth.


    ¡°How would the Scarlet Moon Patriarch not have any plans ready after such a long time? Right now, he¡¯s hidden in darkness while we¡¯re in the light. We might not be able to find him but he can definitely find the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. Once we send people away the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion can destroy the Sacred True Dragon Gathering with ease.¡±


    The Deputy Palace Lord¡¯s voice was low and the other Sovereigns fell into silence.


    The Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch¡¯s calculations was too perfect and used the Sacred True Dragon Gathering to reopen the Scarlet Moon Inheritance.


    Now the Sacred Alliance couldn¡¯t make any moves as well because the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was in the light and if they sent people away and then the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch came, they would lose everything.


    After all, the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch was a legend who could cover the heavens with his hand.


    Who in the continent dared to face the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch?


    ¡°Everyone, this is a bright era and the chances of the Heavens Legacy Inheritance appearing has always been increasing. Once the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance arrives, it will change the continent¡¯s situation and is much more useful than the Scarlet Moon Inheritance.¡±


    The Deputy Palace Lord said loudly.


    ¡°What the Deputy Palace Lord is correct. The Scarlet Moon Inheritance is better for those in the demonic and evil path and is nowhere near as good as the heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance or the Seven Sword Inheritance.¡±


    Everyone nodded their heads.


    The Scarlet Moon Inheritance was ranked 3rd of the Four Great Inheritances and the Heavens Legacy Inheritance as well as the Seven Sword Inheritance were ranked above it.


    Sword Saint Ye Wuxie had received the Seven Sword Inheritance and became a critical person in defeating the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch.


    The ancient arena.


    The Scarlet Moon Inheritance shadowing was just a little interruption that lasted ten breaths and the fights still continued in every zone.


    Northern zone.


    The overwhelming prodigy Goddess Bing Wei challenged Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    The judge nodded but Zhao Feng had just fought so couldn¡¯t immediately be challenged.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s rules were extremely strict and Zhao Feng would only fight Goddess Bing Wei when he went up the next time.


    And at this time, Zhao Feng had reached the crucial point in comprehending and forming his root of law.


    Within his mind.


    The faint azure half transparent lines sparkled lightning and blossomed.


    The root of law came from the Source of mental energy and was an increase in mental energy.


    Once it was condensed Zhao Feng¡¯s every action would be able to connect to the Heaven Earth Lightning Law and rise in power dramatically.


    At that time apart from Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation, he would be no different from a True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°My root of law comes from the merging of the Lighting Inheritance and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible, the combination of both the Righteous and Wicked path. Once it forms it¡¯ll be at least stronger than Bing Shuiyue¡¯s.¡±


    Zhao Feng was filled with expectation.


    He didn¡¯t know that forming a root of law from two different laws was something that normal True Human Rank¡¯s didn¡¯t even dare think about.


    Doing this Zhao Feng had almost hit a forbidden area.


    This was a very dangerous act and if failed, could result in the crumbling of his mental energy but luckily Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could analyse and calculate far better than others.


    His source of mental energy was also immeasurable and he had stepped into the ancient Dao of soul so hadn¡¯t met any dangers.


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡±


    A voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and looked towards the spectating stand. The speaker was Tiemo.


    ¡°When Goddess Bing Wei challenges you, you better admit defeat fast.¡±


    Tiemo said solemnly.


    What?


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s challenge?


    Zhao Feng hiccupped and was frightened. When was this?


    He had put all his energy on condensing the root of law and didn¡¯t know this.


    Looking around he saw Goddess Bing Wei and her eyes of killing intent almost materialised and even rushed into Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level, bringing him a chilling coldness.


    ¡°I know you¡¯re unwilling and trying your best but the overwhelming prodigies¡¯ strength is not just one level above you. You¡¯re still young and more than ten years younger than many others. Your performance has already surprised me.¡±


    Deputy Patriarch Tiemo warned.


    Zhao Feng still hadn¡¯t recovered from being challenged by the overwhelming prodigy.


    Each and every one of the overwhelming prodigies has strength almost comparable to a True Lord Rank.


    Firstly.


    Just watching the five overwhelming prodigies Zhao Feng concluded his chances of winning were less than 10% and might be instantly defeated.


    ¡°Don¡¯t force it. Goddess Bing Wei definitely doesn¡¯t have good intentions in challenging you. Plus, even if you lose you won¡¯t lose much dragon blessing. The key point is the inheritances, that¡¯s the best thing¡­.¡±


    Tiemo continued.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch relax, I know what to do.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Tiemo¡¯s plan was obviously smart and placed more importance on the overall situation.


    If Zhao Feng tried to force it how would he get a placing by being a cripple? How would he get an inheritance?


    According to the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    If several inheritances appeared the higher ranked would get the first choice.


    For those slightly larger inheritances there might be many spots instead of just one.


    ¡°Blue haired brat you destroyed my little sister¡¯s future. She can¡¯t enter the inheritances this time. I¡¯ll give back what you did to her and cripple you.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes were cold.


    ¡°Bing Wei, don¡¯t go overboard later. Don¡¯t destroy your future because of small stuff.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen warned.


    Being an elder she couldn¡¯t punish Zhao Feng as that would lower her status. Furthermore, the participant of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering would be protected, especially a black horse like Zhao Feng.


    Time passed slowly by and both Goddess Bing Wei and Zhao Feng felt that time passed too slowly.


    Many geniuses looked at Zhao Feng with gloat.


    Zhao Yufei, Jiang Sanfeng, Bei Moi and company were all worried.


    No one had broken the legend of an overwhelming prodigy. They had all been utterly crushed.


    Right at this time an exciting battle happened on the middle stage.


    Mo Tianyi vs Yu Tianhao.


    On one side was the head of the overwhelming prodigies who was said to have crushed dozens of generations and the other was at the peak of the Northern continent.


    Yuan Mountain Great Secret Palm!


    Mo Tianyi gathered all his power and used the Heavenly Yuan Clan¡¯s ultimate skill without hesitation.


    Boom--


    The palm shone and a metallic imprint of a mountain seemed to appear that could crush anything within a hundred yards radius.


    The entire stage trembled slightly in front of this terrifying move and the force made the geniuses unable to breathe.


    ¡°This Mo Tianyi¡¯s so strong. His Yuan Mountain Great Secret Technique has reached this mastery already.¡±


    Qin Kunwu, the ghost eyed man and company were all stunned.


    ¡°As powerful as the mountain. Without using my bloodline, I can¡¯t block this.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. Mo Tianyi had already reached this step.


    Unparalleled under the heavens!


    Yu Tianhao expressionlessly thrust out a palm that seemed to dominate everything.


    Booooom!


    The heavens seemed to shake in front of this palm and a mysterious light seemed to cleave through the sky¡¯s, destroying everything and anything in its path.


    ¡°My lord, he has the battle power of a True Lord Rank.¡±


    ¡°This Yu Tianhao is indeed worthy of being an overwhelming prodigy that surpassed dozens of generations. He¡¯s overtaken Sword Saint Ye Wuxie, the Scarlet Moon Patriarch when they were his age¡­¡±


    The entire middle stage was enveloped by Yu Tianhao¡¯s powerful Unparalleled under the Heaven¡¯s skill.


    Bam!


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s figure flew out and spat out a mouthful of blood in midair as his face went white.

 355 Admit Defeat?

    Mo Tianyi, the legend of the Northern continent was injured in just one move by the overwhelming prodigy Yu Tianhao.


    Mo Tianyi landed on the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with shock.


    How similar was this scene from the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering?


    He had improved a lot in the past ten years but the result was the same.


    Shua!


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s figure appeared and said in a low tone: ¡°You¡¯re the first to take one blow from me in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and still have the ability to fight.¡±


    Bitterness appeared on Mo Tianyi¡¯s face. So, what if he could take one blow? He was already injured.


    If he continued to fight he would be severely injured and might even harm his foundation, meaning that his final result would be lower and maybe miss entering one of the better inheritances.


    ¡°I admit defeat.¡±


    Mo Tianyi soon decided.


    The terrifying opponent in front of him had reached the peak True Mystic Rank now from the early stages of the True Mystic Rank of ten years ago.


    The five overwhelming prodigies were truly supreme.


    Mo Tianyi admitting defeat made Yu Tianhao shake his head in slightly disappoint and his figure was lonely as he walked off stage.


    He had been lonely for too long.


    In this era Yu Tianhao made the other geniuses lose their colour, he was their sadness.


    However, how was Yu Tianhao not sad? No one in this generation was his match.


    On the small stage above.


    The nine Sovereigns would always watch Yu Tianhao¡¯s battles.


    ¡°Yu Xingchen, your son¡¯s future accomplishments are immeasurable. If I remember correctly Yu Tianhao¡¯s only twenty-six to twenty-seven years old and reached the True Spirit Realm when he was only ten, becoming the continents top genius.¡±


    The Mystic Sword Sovereign sighed.


    In the last Rising Dragon Auction the Mystic Sword Sovereign had appeared and was now one of the nine Sovereigns on the small stage.


    Some Sovereigns looked at a handsome figure with envy.


    He was Yu Tianhao¡¯s father, Yu Xingchen.


    ¡°Hehe, what if I told you that Yu Tianhao¡¯s purposely suppressing himself to not break through? If he wasn¡¯t he could be at the True Lord Rank now.¡±


    Yu Xingchen smiled.


    Hearing this the Sovereigns¡¯ hearts all shook.


    ¡°If that was the case then this Sacred True Dragon Gathering would have no meaning anymore. For example, Taiyun Shuangzi, Goddess Bing Wei and company wouldn¡¯t have any threat to him.¡±


    Yu Xingchen sighed lightly.


    He didn¡¯t really approve of what his son did.


    If Yu Tianhao reached the True Lord Rank there was no meaning anymore in first place, why did he want this change?


    After Mo Tianyi¡¯s defeat many gazes of the ancient arena turned to the Northern stage.


    Another battle from an overwhelming prodigy was coming and it was the overwhelming prodigy challenging someone else.


    ¡°That Goddess Bing Wei received the essence of the Mystic Ice Inheritance and apparently has cultivated the rare Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body, dramatically increasing her battle power. She has the chance to challenge Yu Tianhao¡¯s position this Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    ¡°In the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering Goddess Bing Wei was also one of Yu Tianhao¡¯s major opponents.¡±


    The discussion of many was about the Northern zone and when Goddess Bing Wei was mentioned, so was Zhao Feng.


    After defeating Bing Shuiyue, Zhao Feng became the Northern zone¡¯s number one black horse and of the horses present across the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, he was definitely in the top three.


    ¡°I wonder how many moves the number one black horse of the North can take from an overwhelming prodigy.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, I guess that he¡¯ll lost within three, and is likely to lose in the first.¡±


    ¡°Wait, that Zhao Feng might admit defeat instantly.¡±


    The geniuses of the Northern zone were waiting for this battle. Everyone was just guessing how long he would last in front of the overwhelming prodigy.


    It wasn¡¯t as if they hadn¡¯t thought of Zhao Feng winning. It was just that it was too unrealistic.


    Even the legend of the Northern continent ¡°Mo Tianyi¡± had admitted defeat after one move in front of an overwhelming prodigy, so how much could Zhao Feng who was also from the Northern Continent do?


    ¡°Unless I condense the root of law and that plan succeeds, I¡¯ll have no chance at all.¡±


    Zhao Feng had also analysed the result but the conclusion was he had no chance.


    The regretful thing was that Zhao Feng¡¯s root of law was at its last stage and met a resistance there mainly because the merging of the essence of the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible into the Lightning Inheritance became far more difficult.


    Within his mind.


    The transparent azure lines created faint flowers and was surrounded by specks of lightning.


    This was just the beginning shape of the root of laws. It hadn¡¯t fully formed yet but even then, Zhao Feng still had a bit of ability to conduct the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and create more power.


    His effort hadn¡¯t gone to waste. Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had increased substantially.


    Weng~


    His True Dragon Token suddenly directed him towards the Northern stage.


    ¡°It¡¯s finally starting.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei impatiently flashed onto stage.


    ¡°Bing Wei, you are challenging Zhao Feng. If you win you¡¯ll only get half the usual amount of dragon blessing and if you lose, you lose twice the norm.¡±


    The judge emotionlessly said.


    In a normal battle the loser would lose a small part of their dragon blessing and even if Bing Wei won this fight, she would only be able to take half the usual.


    This meant that even if Zhao Feng lost, the decrease in dragon blessing wasn¡¯t much.


    ¡°I confirm.¡±


    Bing Wei replied without hesitation.


    She had used the same way as her sister to fight Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure turned into an arc of lightning that landed on the Northern stage.


    The root of law had barely condensed but Zhao Feng could feel the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was much more closer and his speed had increased.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you won¡¯t admit defeat, will you?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei mocked with a smile as her eyes flashed coldly.


    Admit defeat?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved. He did have the thoughts to do so.


    Before he could say anything.


    ¡°You won¡¯t have the chance.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes flashed and her snow jade perfect figure released a devastating coldness that seemed to come from an ancient being.


    At that instant the surrounding air seemed to freeze and Zhao Feng hiccupped as a dangerous feeling enveloped his body.


    After experiencing what it was like to face an overwhelming prodigy, Zhao Feng understood their power - it was like facing a True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Zhao Feng quickly admit defeat!¡±


    Tiemo in the spectating stand realised something was wrong and exclaimed but Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s attack was too fast.


    Extreme Northern Ice Wind!


    Her robes flapped in the air as the sky was filled with a cold icy current that instantly created an ice storm that swept across a mile radius.


    The chilling coldness filled every corner of the stage and both the water and stage turned into ice.


    At that moment in time Goddess Bing Wei was like an ice goddess of a world of ice and snow that controlled everything.


    Si! Si!


    A layer of ice formed around Zhao Feng and his bloodline power as well as Qi of True Spirit were eroded by a chilling coldness.


    His Qi of True Spirit had been fully frozen and couldn¡¯t resist at all.


    ¡°So, this is the power of the overwhelming prodigy¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his limbs lose their senses.


    A breath later.


    Zhao Feng lost total control of his body and a coldness tried to freeze his consciousness.


    He was like a stone statue that remained frozen in place.


    At this point in time the only thing Zhao Feng could move was the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Goddess Bing Wei playfully smiled as a wind of transparent ice formed on his palm and was more powerful than before.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye locked onto the wind in Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s hand. It was stronger and more condensed than the Extreme Northern Extreme wind.


    A danger like never before enveloped him.


    Instinct told him that if that ball of wind in Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s hand flew over he would become sealed in eternal sleep and become a true ice statue that had no life/


    ¡°I¡¯ve lost my ability to move. If she purposely kills me she¡¯ll lose the right to participate in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s calm mind spun and realised that Goddess Bing Wei wouldn¡¯t do this on purpose.


    It wasn¡¯t worth it.


    If Goddess Bing Wei wanted to avenge her sister the best way was to cripple Zhao Feng or make it so he couldn¡¯t participate in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering anymore, having no chance with the inheritances.


    Bloodline open!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye shone mysterious blue as he used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to activate his bloodline power/


    A thin ice blue tattoo appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s skin.


    Weng Hu!


    A blurry magnificent figure sitting on a throne of ice suddenly appeared behind Zhao Feng and the coldness in Zhao Feng¡¯s body instantly weakened.


    Extreme Northern Mystic Wind!


    Goddess Bing Wei snickered coldly as she was ready for this and fired another condensed ball of chilly air towards Zhao Feng.


    Haung! Hu~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was sent back fifteen yards and the figure behind him had a few cracks.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to beat you time and time over again until the cold erodes your body. This way your body will lose its feeling. At that time apart from mental energy consciousness you¡¯ll just be a walking cold corpse that won¡¯t survive through half a year.¡¯


    A cold flash appeared in Bing Wei¡¯s eyes.


    She not only wanted Zhao Feng to be unable to participate in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering anymore, she also wanted to kill directly.


    As long as Zhao Feng didn¡¯t immediately die on stage, Goddess Bing wouldn¡¯t need pay a price.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and the figure and ice throne behind him started to repair itself and it became bright.


    The ice light figure gave Zhao Feng a mysterious protection from ice.


    At this point Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline figure became stronger instead of weaker.


    Huang!


    Goddess Bing Wei thrust out another palm and made the Zhao Feng lose the ability to move.


    ¡°Am I really going to admit defeat?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye burnt with a flame.


    In reality, Zhao Feng had the power to fire up.


    His voice could also be sent from the mental energy dimension even though it was under the erosion of ice.

 356 As You Wish

    In the first battle against an overwhelming prodigy Zhao Feng was getting a beating.


    The massive difference in strength gave him almost no chance of victory. Those watching could tell that Goddess Bing Wei hadn¡¯t used all her strength or else Zhao Feng would have lost already or even killed.


    Before Zhao Feng went up the blood hair coloured Tiemo had told him to admit defeat.


    It wasn¡¯t a humiliation to admit defeat in front of an overwhelming prodigy. For many it was even an honour.


    The legend of the Northern continent Mo Tianyi had admitted defeat after one move against an overwhelming prodigy. It was a smart move that took the overall result into count.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, why aren¡¯t you admitting defeat? Although you might not be as strong as an overwhelming prodigy, I believe you still have the ability to admit defeat.¡±


    The blood hair coloured Tiemo couldn¡¯t help but be somewhat panicked as he watched.


    He knew Zhao Feng¡¯s talent and potential. Although it might not be comparable to Yu Tianhao¡¯s but in another ten years it wasn¡¯t impossible for him to become a new overwhelming prodigy.


    At least in this Sacred True Dragon Gathering no one his age did better than Zhao Feng.


    At this instant.


    Countless eyes focused on the ancient arena.


    Even the Sovereigns in the air were watching with interest.


    ¡°Admit defeat?¡±


    Zhao Feng obviously knew that this was a wise choice but within the depths of his heart there was a voice, a power, a belief that if he said, ¡®I admit defeat¡¯ it would be harder than to reach the heavens.


    Thinking about his life.


    From the Green Leaf Village to the Sun Feather City to the Guangjun Province, Broken Moon Clan, Thirteen Alliance¡­. And now the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Suddenly.


    Zhao Feng realised that he had never admitted defeat before, even back at the Zhao family when he was being beaten by Zhao Kun.


    He indeed hadn¡¯t admitted defeat before. The only thing he had done was lose on purpose to Sister Ran.


    It was because of this belief that Zhao Feng could surpass one genius after another.


    ¡°I can be defeated, but I won¡¯t admit defeat.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly understand that this was his belief.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye.


    A faint azure lightning fire flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eye.


    Shuu!


    A ball of azure lightning fire landed on Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s body with an explosion.


    After comprehending the root of laws his Lightning Fire God Eyes¡¯ power had risen another level and become easier to use.


    Even the overwhelming prodigies couldn¡¯t dodge the secret eye techniques firing speed/


    Many people exclaimed as they saw a faint azure lightning fire burn chaotically on Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s body.


    Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body.


    Goddess Bing Wei smiled as her skin became as smooth as jade. Shining and bright.


    Shu!


    The lightning fire landed on her body and started to burn but nothing happened to her.


    Everyone was stunned.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye techniques could instantly defeat anyone under the True Mystic Rank and critically harm normal True Mystic Ranks.


    The lightning fires burning was extremely powerful but couldn¡¯t break through Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s defence.


    Weng~


    Goddess Bing Wei furrowed her eyebrows as her jade skin released a coldness that put out the lightning fire.


    Although the lightning fire couldn¡¯t harm her body it had entered her mental energy dimension and almost injured her mind, creating a little trouble.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s skill attacked both the physical and mental energy world at once. This was the profound part of it.


    ¡°This Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body can even ignore attacks from the normal True Mystic Rank. Across the Sacred True Dragon Gathering those that can break through her defence can be counter with one hand.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take in a cold breath when he came to this conclusion.


    Seeing this scene, the other four overwhelming prodigies were also stunned.


    This meant that with the Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body, Goddess Bing Wei could ignore attacks from normal early stage True Mystic Ranks and even some normal late stage cultivators.


    Luckily.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s aim had been achieved.


    During this time.


    Three Flowered Treasured Lotus.


    A three-coloured petal appeared below Zhao Feng¡¯s feet and with this, Zhao Feng¡¯s defence rose greatly.


    He circulated his bloodline power furiously and his Qi of True Spirit quickly returned to normal.


    The Three Flowered Treasured Lotus extended its three azure, blue and purple petals, forming a three-coloured barrier.


    This way Zhao Feng¡¯s danger was solved for the moment.


    Extreme Northern Mystic Ice Wind!


    Goddess Bing Wei recovered and sent a wave of chilling wind over.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dodge and forcefully took this hit as the three-coloured barrier started to crack.


    The ice light figure and throne of ice quickly absorbed this energy and Zhao Feng felt a coldness enter his body but luckily was nullified by his bloodline power.


    Goddess Bing Wei paused. She didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng would be able to get time to recover from just a Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye.


    ¡°Mystic Ice Demon Suppressing Mountain!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s coldness increased as she waved her hand and a large figure of an ice mountain dropped from the air.


    This move was twice as strong as the one before and could crush the opponent as well as suppress targets with strong defence.


    Not good!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed as he felt a terrifying cold pressure descend. It was as if an entire ice mountain was falling. It wasn¡¯t something a human could block.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his Qi of True Spirit and bloodline power as his two arms sent the Mystic Flower Lightning Palm onto the ice mountain.


    Booooom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s most powerful move blossomed in the air. This palm contained both the Lightning Inheritance and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible. His bloodline power also circulated to the limit.


    In that instant a crack could be seen in the ice mountain.


    ¡°What a powerful attack. The combination of ice and lightning seems to become more profound.¡±


    ¡°That kid¡¯s only at the early stages of the True Human Rank but can use power of the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.¡±


    The spectating geniuses in the ancient arena felt their hearts jump.


    ¡°This move of mine is a continuous attack.¡±


    A cold voice that chilled straight to the bone resounded across the stage.


    Huang!


    The large ice mountain cracks recovered and then crushed down once more.


    ¡°Not good¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t dodge and had to circulate his Qi of True Spirit as well as bloodline to block


    At that moment in time the large ice mountain landed above Zhao Feng and the weight and coldness brewed downwards. If it wasn¡¯t because of his Three Flowered Treasured Lotus and ice throne, Zhao Feng would have been laid down and suppressed by Goddess Bing Wei.


    Under this situation Zhao Feng could only crazily circulate his Qi of True Spirit and bloodline power but the weight and coldness continued, making his face go bright red.


    Wu~ Wu~


    The ice figure behind him kept on absorbing the coldness and the bloodline within his power began to become chaotic after nullifying too much coldness.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng found that the chaotic ice feeling in his bloodline was becoming stronger.


    All his bloodline was facing the ice mountain¡¯s pressure and the ice figure on the throne kept on absorbing the coldness. It was in an unstable state and that blue blood was sparkling.


    Zhao Feng found that he was becoming stronger and stronger and his bloodline cold power was becoming more chaotic.


    This continued for several breaths as Zhao Feng¡¯s body and bloodline had reached a limit.


    At the same time.


    Goddess Bing Wei exclaimed and slammed her jade hand downwards, increasing and replenishing the ice mountain¡¯s power.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and his bloodline power finally exploded.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng felt his body hum and his faint blue bloating blood suddenly release a light.


    The bloodline across his entire body started to sparkle and on the surface of Zhao Feng¡¯s skin faint blue precise lines appeared like a crystal layer.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s strength increased and his bloodline power finally lasted through the ice mountain.


    Hu~


    Tiemo who was watching let out a long breath and his expression was complex: ¡°It¡¯s because of this pressure that his bloodline power would retrace a step further back to its ancestor.¡±


    Retracing one¡¯s bloodline back to their ancestor was a taxing and arduous process that was even harder to increase cultivation but most geniuses awakened their bloodlines or strengthened their bloodlines when facing a life or death situation.


    Wang Xiaoguai was someone like this. He always fought with no regard to his life.


    This was the first time Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power had retraced a step back to its ancestor.


    His path had been too smooth and didn¡¯t meet too much desperate situations.


    Now in this current situation his bloodline power finally activated.


    After his bloodline power retraced a step back Zhao Feng¡¯s power and ice element both rose.


    Weng~ Huang!


    The ice mountain was finally blocked by Zhao Feng and the ice figure and throne behind him became clearer and gave him more protection.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s bloodline power evolved at this moment!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei was angered and shocked.


    All of this was because of her. If she hadn¡¯t used her ice element powers or brought so much pressure, how could Zhao Feng achieve this?


    ¡°Kid, it¡¯s no use. Even if you make a break through right now you won¡¯t be able to change anything.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes were chilly and she waved her hand, interacting more with the heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Boom!


    The shape of the ice mountain rose to forty to fifty yards and became colder.


    ¡°Not good Zhao Feng! Admit defeat quickly!¡±


    Tiemo¡¯s expression changed dramatically as Goddess Bing Wei finally went crazy and didn¡¯t hold back anymore.


    However.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t admit defeat and smiled instead.


    His two hands pushed into the ice mountain and slowly closed his eyes.


    He had expended a large amount of Qi of True Spirit within his dantian but at the same time a more concealed and pure Source of True Spirit was replenishing him.


    It was the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit that Zhao Feng always kept hidden.


    ¡°I¡¯ll break through¡­. Just as you wished¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly took a deep breath and a stronger Qi of True Spirit surged from his Source of True Spirit.


    The bottleneck of the late stages of the True Human Rank was like a paper that just easily got pierced through.

 357 Against the Prodigy 1

    ¡°This guy actually broke through!¡±


    Exclaims came from across the ancient arena and the geniuses below were stunned: This was way too fake. Just saying breaking through had allowed him to break through.


    Putting aside how his bloodline had retraced a step back to its ancestor due to the pressure, he had now even broken through a small level.


    On the high stage.


    The nine Sovereigns watched the Northern stage as Goddess Bing Wei was fighting but the process of this battle was unexpected.


    ¡°It¡¯s not as if geniuses haven¡¯t broken through or evolved their bloodlines in battles in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    ¡°But the two situations combined is extremely rare.¡±


    The Sovereigns discussed.


    ¡°No.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant Deputy Palace Lord shook his head faintly: ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline evolving was unexpected but he controlled the rise in cultivation.¡±


    Sovereign Yu Xingchen smiled and said: ¡°Deputy Palace Lord¡¯s right. This kid¡¯s mental energy level far surpasses his cultivation and is creating his root of law. He had reached the breaking point of the early stages of the True Human Rank long ago but decided to break through right now without any difficulty.¡±


    On the Northern stage.


    Wisps of purer Qi of True Spirit appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s dantian and with the evolving of his blood power, gave him greater strength.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng shouted and forcefully once again block the ice mountain.


    ¡°..... how is this possible!?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s expression was extremely colorful. It went green to red unknown whether from anger, shock or regret.


    Zhao Feng ¡®did as she asked¡¯ as broke through.


    In reality, Zhao Feng had been comprehending the root of law over the past few days and his mental energy level kept on rising. His cultivation had reached the peak of the early stages of the True Human Rank and had fulfilled the requirements to reach the late stages.


    However.


    Zhao Feng knew that reaching the late stages of the True Human Rank didn¡¯t have much an increase in strength than his root of law. The root of law was the most important thing in his plan.


    Yet facing this great danger Zhao Feng used the help of his bloodline to break through.


    Mystic Ice Demon Suppressing Mountain!


    Goddess Bing Wei exclaimed and waved her hand as another ice mountain larger than the first than landed on top of the first.


    ¡°What - this move can be added on?¡±


    Zhao Feng took a cold breath as he thrusts his palms upwards.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng shook and his two flowers shattered.


    Crack!


    Immediately following that the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus shield faded in colour then broke.


    The ice figure and throne behind him also cracked once and became fainter.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and was slightly injured.


    Luckily, he had several layers of defence and his bloodline could absorb ice or else he would have turned into an ice block by now.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t retreat at this critical moment and instead a faint azure lightning fire flashed in his eye.


    Tok!


    A half transparent lightning flame even more powerful than the last landed on Goddess Bing Wei.


    Goddess Bing Wei didn¡¯t have time to react and was hit by the flames.


    Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body!


    Her skin became jade like and the lightning flame only left a tiny mark on her.


    If it were another normal True Mystic Rank that hadn¡¯t received the essence of the Mystic Ice Inheritance or had cultivated the Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body they would have probably been killed.


    But even then.


    The lightning fire faintly injured her in the mental energy dimension.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and her mind started to burn.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s rise in cultivation and bloodline power, his Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye this time was stronger.


    Destroy!


    She gritted her teeth and poured out the lightning fire with ice.


    Using this time Zhao Feng furiously circulated his Qi of True Spirit and bloodline power, forming another layer of defence.


    ¡°My Qi of True Spirit can¡¯t catch up.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the pressure increase.


    The greatest difference between the two wasn¡¯t level, skill, bloodline but cultivation.


    Under this situation Zhao Feng could only use the ¡®Water Moon Pirate¡¯s¡¯ Source of True Spirit that was sealed within his body.


    A large amount of pure Qi of True Spirit entered Zhao Feng¡¯s dantian.


    At the same time the barely formed root of law interacted with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Wu~


    The faint azure lines within Zhao Feng¡¯s mind suddenly became brighter and stronger.


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised.


    His ¡®half¡¯ root of law had met some ¡®resistance¡¯ at the last moment. Why would it suddenly increase now?


    What¡¯s the reasoning behind this?


    Zhao Feng was puzzled by this surprise.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s increase in insights could be sensed by the change in Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    In his mental energy dimension, the transparent lines became bigger, bright and longer.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng thrust out his palm and his flower of lightning and ice seemed to have life and had its power almost doubled.


    If the same force was applied to the same move, then the damage would continue for twice as long.


    This was happening on Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    ¡°That kid¡¯s forming the root of law!¡±


    ¡°How¡¯s that possible!? How can a late stage True Human Rank form a root of law?¡±


    The geniuses of the Northern zone sensed this and widened their eyes.


    At this moment in time.


    A profound aura was released from Zhao Feng and interacted with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    It looks like his root of law was about to be fully formed,


    ¡°What helped me break through that bottle neck?¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t dazed from the joy.


    If there was something unexpected then something must be wrong.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye quickly scanned over his body and analysed the results.


    In an instant he found the culprit - the Source of True Spirit of the Water Moon pirate.


    ¡°No wonder. The root of law is based on the Source of True Spirit and my root of law comes from the merging of the Lightning Inheritance and essence of the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible but most of my Source of True Spirit comes from the Lightning Inheritance and I lacked the Source of True Spirit for the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as he became excited.


    The truth was unveiled.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Mystic Flower Treasured Bible lacked the Source of True Spirit making it so that when he merged it with the Lightning Inheritance, the root of law was stopped at the last step.


    But now.


    What Zhao Feng lacked appeared.


    The Water Moon Pirate left his Source of True Spirit behind and he had cultivated the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    After satisfying this last requirement Zhao Feng¡¯s root of law had no more restrictions and started to form.


    With a thought the root of law in his mind merged with the two Sources of True Spirit.


    ¡°The plan¡¯s succeeded.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed and his battle intent rose.


    ¡°Blue haired brat, there¡¯s no use. Even if you¡¯ve formed the root of law, you don¡¯t have the cultivation.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes were filled with mockery and coldness.


    She didn¡¯t care whether Zhao Feng had reached the late stages of the True Human Rank or that he had condensed his root of law.


    The difference in strength between them was too big and a small level in cultivation was nothing.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. Who said I haven¡¯t?¡±


    Zhao Feng pulled back his head and laughed as his root of law complete. Every action of his interacted with the sky.


    He suddenly released a True Spirit Realm aura that surpassed the True Human Rank and even Bing Shuiyue and Ma Tiansan.


    Instantly.


    Zhao Feng had the power of the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    It wasn¡¯t just in terms of mental energy. Even his Qi of True Spirit was so.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on!?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±


    ¡°This kid suddenly jumped another level??¡±


    The Northern zone and entire ancient arena broke out into chaos.


    Looks of incredibility.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng thrust out his palm and terrifying flower of lightning and ice expanded.


    Beng!


    The two ice mountains above him were shattered by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°How¡­ how is this possible?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei was stunned and couldn¡¯t believe it.


    Extreme Northern Mystic Ice Wind!


    In disbelief she waved her hands again and sent chilling ice winds towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Overwhelming prodigy¡­. Let¡¯s fight!¡±


    Zhao Feng roared with laughter and synced with the profoundness of the Heaven and Earth.


    Instantly lightning waves rampaged across a mile radius like a continuous blossoming lower.


    Boom! Bam! Dang----


    Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s clash was enough to kill normal True Spirit Realms.


    ¡°... how is this possible? Did he conceal his cultivation?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei was stunned and speechless.


    In the blink of an eye. Zhao Feng suddenly had the cultivation comparable to the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    What¡­. What was going on?


    Not only could Goddess Bing Wei not accept this, all the other geniuses were speechless as well but everything was in front of their eyes.


    Normally a person¡¯s cultivation was determined by how their mental energy level and strength of True Force.


    Did Zhao Feng have the mental energy level of an early stage True Mystic Rank?


    He did.


    His mental energy level was comparable to the True Mystic Rank long ago and his root of law was formed from two skills.


    Therefore, the second his root of law was formed it was comparable to the early stage True Mystic Rank and stronger than Bing Shuiyue¡¯s.


    Did his True Force have the strength of an early stage True Mystic Rank?


    He did.


    One had to know the Water Moon Pirate was almost at the True Lord Rank at his peak and the sealed Source of True Spirit was larger than the early stage True Mystic Rank.


    However.


    To fully control this Source of True Spirit, two requirements needed to be met.


    One, have enough mental energy to form the root of law.


    Two, have an element similar or the same as the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    Unfortunately for others, Zhao Feng met both these requirements.

 358 Against the Prodigy 2

    At this moment in time.


    Miraculous and incredible gazes focused on the blue haired youth on the Northern stage.


    In the blink of an eye his cultivation had turned from the early stage True Human Rank to something that was comparable to the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    On the Northern stage.


    Peng---


    Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei faced one another and their auras made the geniuses below unable to breathe.


    The mental energy level of a True Mystic Rank.


    The root of law of a True Mystic Rank.


    The Source of True Spirit of a True Mystic Rank.


    From the surface Zhao Feng seemed no different from an early stage True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°My plan¡¯s succeeded. Reaching the top ten of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering isn¡¯t a dream anymore.¡±


    Zhao Feng was filled with excitement. Every action of his was able to interact with the Heavens and his Qi of True Spirit was several times stronger than before.


    Zhao Feng had realised that because his mental energy level was enough he could form a root of law and this idea gave him a plan.


    At that time Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts was to condense a root of law and apart from his True Spirit cultivation, nothing else was much different from a True Mystic Rank.


    However, he still had the Source of True Spirit from the Water Moon pirate.


    After forming the root of law and controlling the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit, how much different would he be from a True Mystic Rank?


    This plan was terrifying and could change everything.


    Once it succeeded it meant that Zhao Feng could even challenge the overwhelming prodigies.


    Of course.


    Apart from luck there was two key points that was required.


    One, to form the root of law needed the merging of the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    Two, the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit.


    None of the two requirements could be missed.


    Normal True Spirit Realm experts couldn¡¯t preserve their Source of True Spirits behind or give it to anyone.


    However, the Water Moon Pirate had a forbidden skill from the Heavens Legacy Inheritance and used a special state to seal his Source of True Spirit.


    This was planned out carefully by him and a gift for the inheritor of the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t cultivate the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible, he still ¡®inherited¡¯ this Source of True Spirit in another way.


    ¡°Exciting! Great!¡±


    Tiemo who was watching clapped with excitement and relaxed.


    He had obviously guessed what had happened to Zhao Feng.


    Not only was Tiemo cheering him on, others that knew Zhao Feng were also screaming.


    ¡°Way too strong brother Zhao¡­. You once again flipped the view of the world.¡±


    In the spectating stand Yang Gan¡¯s voice was trembling and tears streaked from his face.


    Ever since he came to the Sacred True Dragon Gathering he would always watch Zhao Feng¡¯s every match and Yang Gan faintly understood what First Elder meant by sending him here.


    ¡°Great! Brother Zhao, you succeeded!¡±


    Zhao Yufei was overjoyed.


    Liu Qinxin, Die Ye, Jiang Sanfeng and company were all stunned.


    The representatives from the Canopy Great Country such as Prince Jin, Tian Yunzhi and company were shocked but also somewhat proud.


    ¡°My god! This is a miracle. He can¡¯t be described as a black horse anymore.¡±


    The square faced youth said with excitement and proudness.


    He had always thought good of Zhao Feng and his opinion was different than Qin Kunwu¡¯s.


    Shock was written over Qin Kunwu¡¯s face and he was dazed.


    The change in the Northern stage caused countless geniuses to be filled with hot blood.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng!¡±


    ¡°We support you challenging the overwhelming prodigies!¡±


    The crowds roared.


    Overwhelming prodigies were a legend that enveloped the geniuses of this generation.


    Zhao Feng was a miracle who charged towards the overwhelming prodigies.


    The round stage in the air.


    ¡°Incredible, that Source of True Spirit within him probably comes out from the Heavens Legacy Inheritance.¡±


    ¡°Struggling step by step even under an almost definite losing situation. This belief is the foremost requirement for him to achieve this miracle.¡±


    The Sovereigns discussed.


    If Zhao Feng admitted defeat, would he have created this miracle?


    But Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have the words ¡®admit defeat¡¯ in his dictionary. One could lose, but they wouldn¡¯t surrender.


    Tiemo couldn¡¯t help but think about himself in the past. The giving up and admitting defeat. If he didn¡¯t have that and focused onwards maybe now he would be a Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm.


    The person with the same feeling was Mo Tianyi.


    His two fists were clenched and his body trembled.


    Mo Tianyi suddenly realised he lacked something.


    Facing the overwhelming prodigy, he admitted defeat after one move. At that time, he could see Yu Tianhao¡¯s disappointment.


    Compared with the difference between Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei, the difference between him and Yu Tianhao wasn¡¯t that big.


    ¡°Only opponents like this are worthy.¡±


    A light flashed in Yu Tianhao¡¯s eyes.


    He had a competitive blood and his eyes burned with battle intent.


    Yu Tianhao stood at the peak of the continent and was the head of the overwhelming prodigy. He had surpassed the Scarlet Moon Religion patriarch and Sword Saint Ye Wuxie when they were his age.


    The top genius in a thousand years.


    Everyone turned towards this lonely genius who finally praised someone for the first time.


    Unknowingly, their rating of Zhao Feng went up another level.


    ¡°Yu Xingchen, your Yu family bloodline is one of the weirdest bloodlines. It seems to be real but untouchable at the same time.¡±


    The bronze skinned Deputy Palace Lord said with interest.


    ¡°In the legends my Yu family had an ancestor name Yun Wushuang, meaning that he was unparalleled. His will was to defeat everyone under the heaven.¡±


    Sovereign Yu Xingchen was filled with admiration.


    ¡°Then, did Yu Wushuang achieve this?¡±


    Another Sovereign nearby said with interest.


    There was always one stronger person. There was no such as thing as truly unparalleled.


    ¡°He did but the result was that he didn¡¯t go any further after that and died in solitude - that was our Yu family¡¯s lesson.¡±


    Yu Xingchen said solemnly.


    The current Sovereigns couldn¡¯t help but think after they heard this.


    Yu Wushuang was only a legend but whether or not he was unparalleled was the key point. It was the lesson that was.


    Northern stage.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s every action allowed him to use the root of law and interact with the Heaven and Earth.


    Ta!


    He exclaimed and all his attacks had the base cultivation of the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    Cultivation was the basis between experts.


    Skills, weapons, bloodline and insights would also affect the outcome.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s current cultivation base comparable to the early stages of the True Mystic Rank and his root of law plus bloodline power, a casual hit from him could kill normal True Spirit Realms.


    ¡°How¡­. how is this possible!!?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s inner heart screamed. She couldn¡¯t accept this reality.


    At the beginning she had to hold back her power in case she killed the opponent by accident or purpose which would affect her final outcome.


    Her plan was to erode Zhao Feng¡¯s body with ice poison and make him an ¡®ice corpse¡¯ that had no more fortune with the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and would die within half a year.


    However.


    The plan didn¡¯t succeed and instead her opponent broke through time after time.


    The last change was a heavy blow.


    All her efforts had helped the opponent.


    At this moment Goddess Bing Wei had used almost all her strength to fight Zhao Feng.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s bloodline and skills were even highly ranked amongst the five overwhelming prodigies but Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline could absorb and turn coldness into energy and countered his bloodline.


    Under the fact that their difference wasn¡¯t too big Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline advantage was greater.


    Plus, Zhao Feng still had the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus¡¯ defence and could even block the pursuit of a True Lord Rank within a short amount of time.


    The sad thing was.


    All of Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s offensive capabilities had the ice element and whenever they came near to Zhao Feng at least fifty percent of it would be absorbed by Zhao Feng and increase the length of his bloodline power.


    Focusing on one path was indeed the best path to the top but when facing someone at the same level who specialised in everything, it was pitiful.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks could harm both the physical and mental energy world.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye flashed with faint azure lightning.


    Fuuush!


    An even fiercer lightning flame landed on Goddess Bing Wei and started to burn.


    Even though she had the Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body she didn¡¯t dare underestimate it.


    ¡°His eye skills become stronger.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei couldn¡¯t stand the pain from her body and especially mental energy.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t continue attack and instead used this chance to merge the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit.


    ¡°Only by fully merging the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit would I become a true Mystic Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes wasn¡¯t covered by the current power he had.


    Although it seemed like his mental energy and Qi of True Spirit had reached the True Mystic Rank already, all of this was only the outside.


    Only by fully absorbing the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit and merging his flesh, mental energy and root of law together would it be success.


    ¡°My real cultivation is at max at the peak True Human Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind was clear and he focused on defence, trying to conserve as much Source of True Spirit as possible because the Water Moon pirates was non-renewable.


    This meant that this was a ¡®dead¡¯ Source of True Spirit and didn¡¯t have the ability to give more unless it was fully converted into Zhao Feng¡¯s and recovered through Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    At that time would Zhao Feng truly reach the True Mystic Rank.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng defended most of the time and occasionally fired a lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye to make Goddess Bing Wei worry.


    Secretly he was using his root of law to convert and merge the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit.


    With every bit that converted Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®true¡¯ cultivation would increase.

 359 End

    Northern stage.


    Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei entered a stalemate.


    Being one of the five overwhelming prodigies, Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s mystic ice skill could surpass the geniuses of a generation.


    At least in the entire ancient arena no second geniuses¡¯ ice elemental techniques could be compared to her.


    However, this was also her weakness against Zhao Feng. her ice elemental skills were countered by Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline.


    Under the situation that their difference wasn¡¯t too big Zhao Feng¡¯s ice figure and throne had could absorb ice and turn it into bloodline power.


    Adding on the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus¡¯ defence and Zhao Feng purposely fending, he could last a while.


    ¡°Luckily I met Goddess Bing Wei first. If it was someone else I still probably won¡¯t last very long even if this plan succeeded.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t as arrogant to think that he had reached the overwhelming prodigies¡¯ strength.


    His bloodline power perfectly countered Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s bloodline and skill, allowing him to fend for himself.


    The current situation.


    Goddess Bing Wei still suppressed Zhao Feng with her overwhelming prodigy strength.


    Zhao Feng rarely attacked and occasionally fired a Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye to make Goddess Bing Wei worry.


    It wasn¡¯t that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t try attacking, it was just that the latter¡¯s Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body was extremely strong in defense and could resist ice attacks.


    Of the five overwhelming prodigies Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s defence was amongst the top and even better than Yu Tianhao¡¯s.


    Therefore.


    Since Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t finish off Goddess Bing Wei he focused on defence and used the time to convert the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit.


    A hundred moves soon passed and Zhao Feng had absorbed as well as turned a part of the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit into ¡®real cultivation¡¯, making him strive closer towards the peak True Human Rank.


    ¡°If I fully absorb the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit my cultivation should be able to reach the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    His root of law was compatible with the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible so there wouldn¡¯t be situations of his foundation being unstable.


    But as time passed Zhao Feng found a problem.


    Compared with his own Source of True Spirit, the Water Moon pirates was purer and had more.


    Once he fully absorbed the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit, Zhao Feng¡¯s Source of True Spirit would change and he would have to cultivate the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    Zhao Feng had always focused on the Lightning Inheritance as the core and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible wasn¡¯t focused on as much.


    This was because of two reasons:


    One, in terms of offense the Lightning Inheritance was stronger and specialised in speed.


    Two, Zhao Feng had a deep foundation in the Lightning Inheritance and cultivating this gave him a chance to break through to the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Only be using the Lightning Inheritance will I be able to preserve my strength and offense.¡±


    Zhao Feng made a decision.


    This meant that he would give up a part of the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit and slow down the conversion rate.


    Water Moon God Peach Fan.


    With a ¡°Huala¡± an elegant fan appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    Since he needed to give up a part of the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t need to conserve his Qi of True Spirit anymore.


    Hu~


    Waves of lightning and ice charged towards Goddess Bing Wei like a flood.


    Goddess Bing Wei snickered and pointed his fingers, forming tens of thousands of ice arrows that shot towards Zhao Feng.


    Tok! Tok! Tok¡­.


    The enormous ice lightning fan figure was pierced through and ice flew everywhere.


    Boom----


    The True Mystic Rank¡¯s large radius attacks clashed in the air and the remaining power could injure any True Spirit Realm.


    Even if the Water Moon God Peach Fan¡¯s help Zhao Feng¡¯s attack was easily nullified by Goddess Bing Wei.


    One had to know.


    The Water Moon God Peach Fan combined with the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit, root of law and his bloodline power came close to the strength the Water Moon pirate held at his peak.


    From this one could see that even if the Water Moon pirate revived, he might not be Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s match.


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his fan around creating half transparent petals that enveloped Goddess Bing Wei from every direction.


    ¡°This fan contains mental energy attacks.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s mind went slightly number and started to hurt.


    The Water Moon God Peach fan not only had a powerful offense, it also contained attacks from the mental energy dimension.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye.


    An azure lightning flame flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye as he counter attacked.


    Shuu!


    The fierce lightning fire landed on Goddess Bing Wei and started to erode her mental energy.


    This counterattack finally stopped Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s pressure on Zhao Feng.


    Mystic Ice Crystal Illusion Sword!


    A sparkling ice sword suddenly appeared in Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s hand and it was a middle tier Spiritual grade weapon. Flashed of cold sword lights slashed towards where Zhao Feng was at.


    ¡°The Mystic Ice Crystal Illusion sword is an ice weapon that Goddess Bing We got from the Mystic Ice Inheritance and can increase the power of ice al lot. It can create illusions and contains a cold mental energy attack.¡±


    Mo Tianyi who was in the middle zone exclaimed as he looked at Zhao Feng complexly.


    Ever since Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s Mystic Ice skill had reached a high mastery her battle power came close to the True Lord Rank and rarely used a weapon.


    But now Zhao Feng, a black horse had forced Goddess Bing Wei to use a weapon.


    Facing the flashes of sword lights and illusions, Zhao Feng felt an excessive pressure but he started to smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to determine which sword lights are real and fake. Furthermore, the ice can travel to the mental energy dimension.¡±


    Zhao Feng scanned it with his left eye and concluded.


    Under this state Goddess Bing Wei was terrifying. Her attacks, illusional sword and mental energy power made the other overwhelming prodigies moved.


    However, the sad thing was that Goddess Bing Wei was destined to be countered by Zhao Feng.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng could tell which sword lights were real and the mental energy attacks could be ignored.


    Zhao Feng was a being that had stepped into the Ancient Dao of the Soul and could withstand mental energy.


    This way only Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s weapon made a difference but this did bring more pressure to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his Water Moon God Peach Fan.


    Crack!


    The Water Moon God Peach Fan turned into an umbrella shape that spun quickly around.


    Ding Ding! Tok----


    The umbrella shaped Water Moon God Peach Fan rotated quickly and blocked as well as redirected the attacks.


    This was the first line of defence.


    After that was the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus while was even stronger and more agile.


    Shua!


    The Three Flowered Treasured Lotus took Zhao Feng forwards instead of retreating and closed in on Goddess Bing Wei.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes flashed as a transparent gust of wind appeared on her jade hands that released a forbidden and critical coldness.


    Zhao Feng knew that Goddess Bing Wei was using a killing move that would be hard to block with even all his defence.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Shuu!


    A faint azure lightning fire landed on Goddess Bing Wei that eroded her mental energy and stopped her from using that skill.


    ¡°Fuck!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei gritted her teeth. Her only worry was Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline technique that could be instantly fired and turn the situation around.


    As Zhao Feng came closer he secretly circulated the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit and the three smells from the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus was released.


    ¡°Shameless!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei smelt the air and felt her body become hot as she became affected by the smell.


    Sou! Sou!


    As Goddess Bing Wei was retreating and maintained a distance from Zhao Feng, the latter closed in.


    The Three Flowered Treasure Lotus is indeed worthy of being one of the Water Moon pirate¡¯s top treasures and could support, defend and fly.


    ¡°The Three Flowered Treasured Lotus can affect the True Spirit Realm. Only those at the True Lord Rank had the best chance to block it.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    He had technically inherited the Water Moon pirate¡¯s inheritance and could hold his own unless those at the True Lord Rank moved.


    If Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation reached the Water Moon pirate¡¯s then even those at the True Lord Rank couldn¡¯t take care of him.


    ¡°End of the battle!¡±


    A supreme voice boomed across the Northern zone and both Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s figures were stopped by a terrifying aura.


    The two turned to the judge.


    ¡°Your battle has reached an hour and ends with a draw.¡±


    The judge announced expressionlessly.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath. He wanted to recover his breath and convert the Water Moon pirate¡¯s Qi of True Spirit as well as consolidate his root of law.


    Goddess Bing Wei gritted her teeth and was filled with killing intent.


    With the judge¡¯s announcement the ancient arena fell silent for a moment before erupting in cheers, as if cheering on Zhao Feng.


    The five overwhelming prodigies cast a huge shadow over the countless geniuses and they really needed someone that could break that legend.


    Zhao Feng was a miraculous black horse that had been challenged by an overwhelming prodigy and fought to a draw.


    ¡°Although that this match was a draw, Bing Wei chose to challenge Zhao Feng and if you lost you would lose twice the normal dragon blessing. It¡¯s a draw so you will lose the usual dragon blessing.¡±


    The judge emotionlessly waved his True Dragon Flag.


    Weng~~


    A broad dragon blessing was transferred from Goddess Bing Wei to Zhao Feng.


    In that instant Zhao Feng¡¯s True Dragon Token gave off a brilliant silver and a dragon seemed to circle him.

 360 Losing Control

    The rules of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering were very strict and challenging others would obviously have a heavy price.


    Goddess Bing Wei and Zhao Feng¡¯s fight ended in a draw but the former would have to pay the dragon blessing comparable to if she lost a normal match.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s dragon blessing instantly rose and reached the top twenty of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, the same as Mo Tianyi, Qin Kunwu and company.


    ¡°The dragon blessing of overwhelming prodigies are indeed incredible. She only lost a bit but made mine to rise so much.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    After all, the Sacred True Dragon final rankings wasn¡¯t decided by the number of wins and losses but by dragon blessing.


    This meant that Zhao Feng had jumped onto the first tier of geniuses right below the overwhelming prodigies.


    Above in the air.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s without a doubt the top black horse.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, nothing is certain until the end. For example, that Xin Wuheng has been suppressing his cultivation and level.¡±


    ¡°Mu Rongfan, Cang Yuyue from the Western zone, Zhao Yufei from the Eastern zone and the successor of the Tuoba family all have immense potential.¡±


    The gazes of the nine Sovereigns scanned across the arena.


    Even if any genius was hiding something, they all knew.


    Zhao Feng was without a doubt the top black horse here but his cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds, meaning that he didn¡¯t have much potential left to squeeze out.


    On the other hand, geniuses such as Xin Wuheng, Mu Rongfan, Cang Yuyue, Zhao Yufei and the successor of the Tuoba family all had good potential.


    Right at this point in time another few shadows appeared in the clouds.


    ¡°One, two! Another two inheritances.¡±


    Those of the Sacred Alliance were always paying attention to the change above their heads.


    At this moment there was a total of four inheritance shadowings, including the Scarlet Moon Inheritance which had just disappeared.


    Zhao Feng walked off the stage and surveyed the inheritance shadowings in the sky.


    ¡°This is an era that surpasses the previous ones. Will the most ancient and mysterious Heavens Legacy Inheritance appear?¡±


    Many experts and geniuses couldn¡¯t help but think.


    The legends said that when the Heavens Legacy Inheritance appeared, the continent would undergo a major change.


    However, the Heavens Legacy Inheritance hadn¡¯t appeared for a long time.


    Not long ago the inheritance shadowing of the Scarlet Moon Inheritance had been ¡®stolen¡¯ by the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. If even the Sacred Alliance could hold their breath, didn¡¯t this mean they were expecting something better?


    After walking off the stage.


    Zhao Feng sat cross legged and focused on consolidation his root of law and occasionally absorbed and converted the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit.


    The Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit was denser and purer than Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    If all this Source of True Spirit was absorbed then Zhao Feng would be forced to cultivate the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible. This wasn¡¯t something he wanted to see.


    Therefore.


    He focused on recovering and strengthening his own Source of True Spirit and slowed down the rate of which he absorbed the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit.


    Every bit of Source of True Spirit that was absorbed would be refined by Zhao Feng¡¯s True Spirit Lightning Flame and given the symbol of the ¡®Lightning Inheritance.¡¯


    This way.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t just absorbing it; he was also purifying it.


    Luckily Zhao Feng¡¯s True Spirit Lightning Flame was extremely strong and was destructive Flame of True Spirit that surpassed many others.


    As the battle of five zones came to an end Zhao Feng kept on purifying and absorbing the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit, grasping every second to increase himself.


    Finally.


    When the battle of five zones ended Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation stabilised at the peak True Human Rank but met a powerful bottleneck.


    ¡°I¡¯ve absorbed one third of the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit, leaving behind two thirds.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he started to think.


    Even though he had refined it with the True Spirit Lightning Flame it still changed his Source of True Spirit to a small degree.


    After all, the two Sources of True Spirit were of different elements.


    ¡°I can only absorb half of the remaining two thirds and there¡¯s a fifty percent chance of breaking through to the True Mystic Rank. If I exceed this amount then I¡¯ll lose the Lightning Inheritances¡¯ element.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind spun.


    This meant that he needed to somehow use one half of the remaining two thirds Source of True Spirit of the Water Moon pirates.


    Use?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up as he had another courageous plan.


    Everyone knew that the Source of True Spirit was the source of Qi of True Spirit and it being destroyed meant losing cultivation.


    Therefore, the Source of True Spirit was a True Spirit Realm expert¡¯s essence and was like half a life.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ignite my Qi of True Spirit at the critical moment and see how much power that half of Source of True Spirit will bring me.¡±


    Thinking up to here Zhao Feng laughed in his heart.


    Under normal situations burning the Source of True Spirit would allow an increase in battle power but would harm the foundation but in Zhao Feng¡¯s case, he wanted to use it.


    Invisibly.


    Zhao Feng now had another king card.


    At this instance.


    ¡°The first round of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering ¡®battle of five zones¡¯ has come to an end and the top five hundred will enter the second round ¡®True Dragon One Hundred Strong.¡±


    A bright voice resounded across the ancient arena.


    The second round, True Dragon One Hundred Strong.


    Compared with the other, this round was easier and picked out a hundred True Dragon geniuses.


    Only the top one hundred in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering would be crowned a True Dragon Genius and this True Dragon One Hundred Strong determined this.


    ¡°Top one hundred¡­.¡±


    Bei Moi smiled bitterly.


    He had won less than one half of the battles in the first round.


    With this result he obviously couldn¡¯t continue.


    ¡°Failed.¡±


    Dong Xue¡¯s eyes were teary.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng found that his True Dragon Token lit up and his dragon blessing started to rise.


    At the same time the True Dragon Tokens of the failed geniuses started to fade as their dragon blessings disappeared.


    Crack! Crack!


    The True Dragon Tokens of the failures shattered and their dragon blessings were taken by the victors.


    At least three thousand had participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering but after the first round only five hundred were left.


    Zhao Feng felt his dragon blessing become stronger and a faint gold flashed on his True Dragon Token.


    The dragon blessing of the five overwhelming prodigies were even more condensed and shone gold.


    Boom------


    The ancient arena started to change and the stone statues all gave off a weird power, as if the heavens was shaking.


    The geniuses were respectful and in admiration.


    The slow change of the ancient arena and the shaking was magnified ten times by a certain force.


    ¡°The second round, True Dragon One Hundred Strong.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected the ancient arena¡¯s change.


    The five stages started to fall and finally merged into the ancient arena and disappeared.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew the ancient arena had a connection with the Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    ¡°At certain times the ancient arena will change according to the dragon blessings.¡±


    The bronze skinned Deputy Palace Lord looked up at the surrounding stone statues.


    Every one of the stone statues had a story behind them.


    Some of the bigger statues were beings that had existed for a long time. The top ten highest ¡®Sky stone statues¡¯ were at least hundreds of yards high and seemed to exist with the heavens.


    Even someone as strong as the Sacred Alliance¡¯s Deputy Palace Lord looked at these stone statues with deep respect.


    Zhao Feng surveyed the stone statues and felt once again that these stone statues had their own life and was watching their every move.


    Huang!


    A thin transparent layer of light suddenly appeared in the centre of the ancient arena and started to extend to one mile, then dozens of miles.


    Inside the faint layer of light mountains, rivers, lakes, forests etc could be seen.


    From this angle it looked like a map but was actually real.


    ¡°This is¡­ a secret realm space made from an ancient spatial array.¡±


    ¡°The space inside a spatial array is several times and maybe even dozens of time larger than the real world.¡±


    The nine Sovereigns were all knowledgeable and some had even been to the outside world.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath and from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s inspection, this ancient spatial array formed a secret realm.


    One could see the scene clearly from the outside. It was as if they were ¡®looking inside another world.¡¯


    ¡°How big is this place and what¡¯s in it?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that ever since he had entered the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, he had touched another world.


    Shua!


    The transparent light quickly extended and soon surrounded the entire ancient arena.


    The transparent light was like a calm ripple of water than easily passed by the geniuses.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The geniuses entered a new world and the ones with broken True Dragon Tokens were removed from the ancient arena.


    ¡°This place is?¡±


    Zhao Feng found that he was standing on a plain and there was also a surprised genius not far away.


    ¡°Why is this True Dragon One Hundred Strong different from the past?¡±


    Mo Tianyi, Prince Jin and others that had participated in the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering were surprised.


    The spectating stand and the stage in the air could see the scene inside the light very clearly.


    A total of five hundred geniuses were scattered across a separate plane that was a thousand miles wide.


    Some geniuses were in caves while others were in forests. There was even some in the clouds and others in the rivers.


    ¡°This complex landscape is testing battle strength and not a straight forward fight.¡±


    The nine Sovereigns watched the situation within the dimension.


    ¡°What¡¯s this rounds¡¯ rules?¡±


    The five hundred geniuses were scattered across the plane and none of them knew what to do.


    What happened?


    The nine Sovereigns looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.


    ¡°Deputy Palace Lord - not good! The second round is different from the first and its automatically started. We¡¯ve lost control of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡­¡­¡±


    An old white bearded Sovereign flew over with panic.

 361 No Rules

    ¡°We¡¯ve lost control of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡­.¡±


    This shocking news made the expressions of the nine Sovereigns change and the Sacred Alliance broke out into chaos.


    The first stage ¡®battle of five zones¡¯ was completely under the Sacred Alliance¡¯s control but the ancient arena had created the second stage itself and formed a brand-new battlefield.


    The mountains, rivers, forests inside the transparent light was another plane.


    A total of five hundred geniuses were spread out across the dimension and didn¡¯t know what to do.


    ¡°This ancient arena is older and more mysterious than the Sacred Alliance and Ten Great Clans. It contains a heaven reaching power itself.¡±


    The Deputy Palace Lord looked at the surrounding statues with respect.


    ¡°But since the Sacred True Dragon Gathering has gone out of control, wouldn¡¯t the results be unpredictable?¡±


    ¡°These geniuses are our continent¡¯s future in this shining era.¡±


    The Sovereigns were worried.


    The bronze skinned giant spoke in a low tone: ¡°The most urgent mission right now is to find out what the rules of the second round is.¡±


    The Sovereigns looked towards the reporting white bearded Sovereign.


    ¡°Rules? I¡¯m afraid there is no rules.¡±


    The white bearded Sovereign smiled bitterly.


    No rules.


    The Sovereigns lost their cool.


    In the second round the ancient arena had put all the remaining geniuses in a separate dimension and the Sacred Alliance couldn¡¯t do anything.


    As for the rules, there was no mention of them.


    ¡°Does this mean that theses geniuses can do whatever they want? Kill people, set fire, beat one another, destroy¡­ anything?¡±


    The Mystic Sword Sovereign took in a deep breath.


    ¡°It should be so. After analysing the spatial array those outside can see the inside, but the ones inside can¡¯t see outside, meaning that we can¡¯t interrupt or make any suggestions.¡±


    The white bearded Sovereign shook his head.


    The Sovereigns of the Sacred Alliance had lived for several hundred years and witnessed many Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s.


    But this generations Sacred True Dragon Gathering was controlled by the ancient arena. This was the first time this had happened.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s watch what happens.¡±


    The Deputy Palace Lord¡¯s voice was emotionless.


    Inside the transparent light plane.


    Five hundred geniuses were spread out amongst the place and were like headless flies.


    They were within this dimension but couldn¡¯t see what was outside, yet the spectators could see every detail.


    ¡°Unable to connect to the outside world? What¡¯s happened to the Sacred True Dragon Gathering?¡±


    Zhao Feng furrowed his eyebrows as he stood on the plain.


    He was different from most of the others and kept his cool.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and saw the spectating stand outside including the one in the air.


    At the same time.


    The successors of the three major eye families all circulated and tried to look past the transparent light.


    The result was.


    The ghost eyed man failed. His eye bloodline didn¡¯t specialise in seeing through.


    The successor of the Tuoba family failed after several tried.


    Only Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see the situation outside with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Of course, this didn¡¯t mean that Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline was better than the three major eye families. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye specialised in looking from afar and inspection. This was the basis of having the ability to copy.


    ¡°Eh? This kid seems to be able to see us.¡±


    Sovereign Yu Xingchen inspected Zhao Feng with curiosity but right at this moment Zhao Feng took back his gaze, as if it was just a coincident.


    A while later Zhao Feng found the highest mountain and surveyed the landscape below within the transparent light dimension.


    Shua!


    With a scan of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye a ¡®real map¡¯ was copied into Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Zhao Feng had first controlled the ¡®landscape¡¯ and remembered the map.


    After finishing this step Zhao Feng didn¡¯t make any rash moves and instead inspected what was happening within the dimension.


    He quickly saw the scenes of battle near a lake.


    Taiyun Shuangzi had made a move on a peak True Human Rank genius.


    With the strength of an overwhelming prodigy, he beat that genius to vomiting blood within a move or two.


    Crack!


    The elder Taiyun Shuangzi chopped off one of that genius¡¯ arm.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    That genius howled in pain and kneeled down to beg: ¡°I admit defeat. Please stop!!¡±


    However, the weird thing was that although he admitted defeat, his dragon blessing didn¡¯t change.


    There were no regulators this time.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why don¡¯t we get dragon blessing from those that we defeated?¡±


    ¡°What a shit Sacred True Dragon Gathering, what the fuck went wrong?¡±


    Taiyun Shuangzi and unleashed his frustration on that genius and as that genius was almost half dead.


    ¡°Forgive me¡­. Let me live I¡¯ll give my True Dragon Token to you.:


    That genius handed over his True Dragon Token in tears.


    Weng~


    The second he received the True Dragon Token Taiyun Shaungzi¡¯s True Dragon Token¡¯s gold light rose by a yard.


    Crack!


    That genius¡¯ True Dragon Token faded and shattered.


    ¡°Hahahaha this feels great! As long as I take their True Dragon Token, I can steal all their dragon blessing!¡±


    Taiyun Shuangzi absorbed a large amount of dragon blessing and howled at the sky.


    The first round of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was very tiring. He could only absorb one fifth of the opponent¡¯s dragon blessing but now he could take all of it.


    This scene obviously fell into the spectator¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°I understand, this round is about pillaging and has no regulations or rules. Only this way would one be able to reveal their true strength.¡±


    Sovereign Yu Xingchen¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, there¡¯s too many factors affecting one¡¯s strength including skill, state of mind, potential etc. With these restrictions everyone is restrained from their full power.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s great but isn¡¯t this too cruel? These are all elites of the continent.¡±


    The opinions of the Sovereigns differed.


    At the same time Zhao Feng also saw this and couldn¡¯t help but think.


    ¡°This round doesn¡¯t seem to have any restrictions. Any methods can be used to get the True Dragon Token.¡±


    Zhao Feng was filled with excitement and joy after he came to this conclusion.


    He like this far more, and this landscape was perfect for him.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye continued to pay attention to Taiyun Shuangzi.


    The injured genius wasn¡¯t kicked out after losing his True Dragon Token.


    What did this mean?


    ¡°I¡¯m not out yet? Although my True Dragon Token was taken by Taiyun Shuangzi, but I can still steal other peoples¡­. I still have a chance!¡±


    The peak True Human Rank genius¡¯ eyes twinkled as a hope appeared in his heart.


    After this he must use all his skills to steal the True Dragon Token of others.


    Thinking up to here his eyes flashed and ran away from Taiyun Shuangzi.


    ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll let you go because you knew what to do.¡±


    ¡°Now it¡¯s time for us to slaughter all those that don¡¯t hand their True Dragon Token over¡­.¡±


    Taiyun Shuangzi charged towards the closest place where there were humans around and looked for new prey.


    Within half the time it took tea to be made the sound of fighting could be heard again.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡±


    A scream came from a mountain and a genius that didn¡¯t hand over their True Dragon Token was killed by Taiyun Shuangzi.


    Hua!


    The experts from the spectating stand broke out into chaos and the elders of the killed genius asked to kick Taiyun Shuangzi out of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry everyone. The Sacred True Dragon Gathering has entered a brand-new era and the ancient arena made its own rules. The rules are: there is no rules.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant Deputy Palace Lords¡¯ voice sounded across the spectating stand.


    The rules were that there were no rules.


    The crowd broke out into chaos.


    ¡°Guests from across the continent. The Sacred Alliance has lost control of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, this isn¡¯t something we want to see.¡±


    The white bearded Sovereign said with a red face and the elders of every force all took in a cold breath.


    In reality this was the truth. The Sacred True Dragon Gathering had indeed gone out of control and the Sacred Alliance couldn¡¯t do anything.


    Sneak attacks, teaming up, setting fire¡­ any methods could be used in the second round.


    The rules were that there were no rules.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you think that only those that have been refined under metal and blood can fulfil their potential and increase the continents dragon blessing?¡±


    The bronze skinned giants¡¯ eyes were filled with cruelty, excitement, expectation and other emotions.


    Fighting wasn¡¯t anything to Sovereigns. It wasn¡¯t as if they hadn¡¯t seen it before.


    No one spoke back against the Deputy Palace Lord¡¯s suggestion.


    Most didn¡¯t know the Deputy Palace Lord¡¯s strength, but some Sovereigns knew that he had fought with the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, Sword Saint Ye Wuxie before.


    Those familiar with him knew that he was someone that loved slaughter.


    Within the transparent light the sounds of killing arose and geniuses started to tear at each other.


    Of course, there weren¡¯t many as cruel and savage as Taiyun Shuangzi.


    Normal battles usually ended when one side handed over their True Dragon Token.


    After all, everyone came from the same continent and killing one person might offend another force or even Sovereign.


    Those that could reach this step had powerful backgrounds that were at least of the True Lord Rank.


    Some of these geniuses were even successors or descendants of Sovereigns.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed and floated down from the mountain as his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye soon found a direction.


    At a certain instant an ice sapphire crystal bow appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand and three arrows were attached to it.


    Xiu!


    An arrow of lightning and ice shot into the forest. Its speed was twice as fast as sound.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    A youth dressed in dark clothes fell to the ground with a ¡®plop.¡¯


    His shoulder had been pierced through by the Luohou Arrow and lightning as well as ice eroded his body and made him unable to move.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­ how could you see past my Dark Secret Hiding Technique?¡±


    The youth in dark clothes was stunned.


    Miao miao!


    A silver-grey cat appeared out of nowhere then with a ¡®Shua¡¯, stole his True Dragon Token.

 362 Dragon Blessing Six Strong

    The second round was far more cruel and competitive, so Zhao Feng let the little thieving cat help him.


    The little thieving cat was his spiritual pet and even if it appeared in the first round there would be no problems, so the second was also fine.


    ¡°You¡¯re Zhao Feng¡­.¡±


    The dark dressed youth could only watch the little thieving cat steal his True Dragon Token and his dragon blessing go to Zhao Feng.


    Being the number one black horse of this Sacred True Dragon Gathering and fighting an overwhelming prodigy to a draw, he obviously knew Zhao Feng.


    Xiu--- Beng! Beng!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother replying and fired two arrows in the blink of an eye as it shot towards the clouds.


    The new Luohou Bow was created by Tiegan Master and both the bow and arrows were close to the Middle Tier Spiritual grade. Combined they even surpassed normal Middle Tier Spiritual grade items.


    Shoosh!


    A Luohou arrow flashed by and another figure fell.


    This genius¡¯ cultivation had reached the True Mystic Rank and after the arrow hit him his body went numb and cold as he fell down, losing 80-90% of his battle power.


    ¡°How¡¯s this possible!!? I just flew here¡­.¡±


    The True Mystic Rank expert gritted his teeth and tried to circulate his Qi of True Spirit.


    Before he reached the ground, he heard a ¡®Miao miao¡¯ and a silver grey little cat appeared next to him like a fox.


    Shua!


    A dark silver blood whip wrapped around his body and sucked his blood essence.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto him with malicious intent and tried to take his True Dragon Token.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    This genius was after all at the True Mystic Rank and furiously circulated his Qi of True Spirit, creating a gust of powerful wind.


    Pa!


    A cat paw slapped his face heavily and he felt the sky spin as his face burned.


    Before he could react, the little thieving cat had taken his True Dragon Token and handed it over to its owner.


    ¡°En, a helper¡¯s pretty nice. Increases my speed.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s dragon blessing became brighter and more gold came out.


    One third of the silver token had turned into gold and a faint gold and silver dragon seemed to wrap around him.


    ¡°Next.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could in theory, see through everything here as long as there wasn¡¯t a large item in the way.


    Instantly.


    The cat and human jumped around the dimension and used different methods to steal one True Dragon Token after another with ease.


    The sound of the Luohou Bow meant someone¡¯s defeat.


    In the spectating stand the experts of every faction had wide eyes.


    ¡°Fuck, that¡¯s way too fast!¡±


    ¡°This Zhao Feng seems to be familiar with the landscape and no one hiding can escape his eyes.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure passed through the dimension and caught whoever he saw.


    Legendary archery skills plus unparalleled eye sight made this black horse become a fish in the water in this environment.


    The efficiency rate and speed made others cluck their tongues and the Sovereigns on the stage were stunned and shocked.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s already controlled the landscape and even the entire situation.¡±


    A light flashed in the bronze skinned giant¡¯s eyes as he said solemnly.


    ¡°Although his eye bloodline is strong, isn¡¯t controlling the entire situation a bit exaggerated?¡±


    A female Sovereign said in surprise.


    ¡°If you pay attention you¡¯ll realise that wherever he goes, he¡¯ll meet a genius. Furthermore, he maintains a distance with the five overwhelming prodigies and geniuses of the first tier. This way his ¡®harvesting¡¯ could be said to be the highest.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant¡¯s use of the word ¡®harvesting¡¯ made the other Sovereigns nod.


    All of Zhao Feng¡¯s opponents would have their True Dragon Token stolen in the shortest amount of time.


    His methods weren¡¯t as savage as Taiyun Shaungzi¡¯s. He would either sneak attack or steal the True Dragon Token¡¯s.


    Sometimes Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even need to defeat the opponent. By working with the little thieving cat, they could steal the opponent¡¯s True Dragon Token.


    ¡°I have to admit that small cat greatly increases his efficiency rate and uses the smallest price to achieve the goal.¡±


    The Mystic Sword Sovereign inspected the little thieving cat next to Zhao Feng.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s signalling move was a cat paw that left behind a burning paw mark on the opponent¡¯s face.


    Even those at the True Mystic Rank would feel dizzy when hit by the cat paw.


    ¡°En¡­ looks like you who¡¯s in the growing stage has grown in every aspect.¡±


    Zhao Feng patted the little thieving cat¡¯s head in satisfaction.


    The little thieving cat had eaten an enormous amount of his treasures and half of the rewards from the Water Moon Treasury had been eaten by this cat.


    Of course, the effects were also obvious.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s strength had risen quite a bit and although might not be a True Mystic Rank¡¯s match head on, it could trick a True Mystic Rank or two without any problems.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t clear about the little thieving cat¡¯s ability.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s agility was supreme, and its stealth was incredible. Even Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could only sometimes see it.


    Although its cat paws power was average, it could daze even those at the True Mystic Rank.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat cracked a smile then put its paws on its waist and wagged its tail. It then made actions saying that it was ¡®the only one in the world¡¯ and everyone could clearly see what it meant.


    Hahaha


    The spectators couldn¡¯t help but laugh.


    ¡°Haha, this cat¡¯s pretty interesting. It¡¯s history probably isn¡¯t simple.¡±


    The Sovereigns on the stage smiled.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat stood on Zhao Feng shoulder and made a face towards the transparent light.


    ¡°What!??¡±


    The expressions of the nine Sovereigns changed.


    This cat could see them?


    The Sovereigns looked at each other.


    So, the little thieving cat could see them, but to be disrespectful to a Sovereign?


    Unknowingly the little thieving cat had gathered many fans, most of them females. Even the female Sovereigns on the stage stared at the little thieving cat with love.


    ¡°I love this cat. I¡¯ll trade something for it with the kid later.¡±


    A green dressed female Sovereign said.


    It was obvious that she like the little thieving cat.


    ¡°This cat definitely has a powerful and mysterious ancient bloodline. It looks like it¡¯s made a blood pact with the kid. Green Moon Sovereign, are you going to force this trade?¡±


    The Mystic Sword Sovereign taunted with a smile.


    ¡°This kid comes from the Iron Blood Religion and has a Sovereign behind him who used to be a Sacred Alliance member. He had once fought with me against the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch and contributed a lot for the Sacred Alliance.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant seemed to casually say but was warning her not to ¡®force¡¯ the trade.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make him trade it willingly.¡±


    The Green Moon Sovereign said confidently.


    Inside the transparent light dimension.


    Time flew by and another two days passed.


    As the fighting continued the number of True Dragon Tokens was decreasing.


    Those that had lost their True Dragon Token¡¯s became crazy and counter attacked.


    Killing, teaming up, sneaking, every method was used.


    Under this situation teams were formed.


    At this time.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s harvesting speed slowed down.


    This was because there was less True Dragon Token¡¯s around as the stolen True Dragon Token¡¯s would shatter after losing all its dragon blessing.


    Of course.


    The quantity of dragon blessing within each True Dragon Token was higher.


    Every True Dragon Token had at least reached the faint silver level and Zhao Feng¡¯s True Dragon Token was now pure gold. His body was surrounded with a gold light and his dragon blessing was incredible.


    ¡°My dragon blessing is comparable to the dragon blessings the overwhelming prodigies had at the first round but after entering this dimension their dragon blessings would also increase.¡±


    Zhao Feng analysed.


    He estimated that his dragon blessing was at least in the top ten and only below the five overwhelming prodigies.


    The Sovereigns watching the transparent light found that there were six faint golden dragon blessing figures all at least one yard high.


    Amongst them Yu Tianhao and Taiyun Shaungzi¡¯s was almost two yards.


    The reason it was six and not five was that one of them was incredibly close to the five overwhelming prodigies and the source of this was Zhao Feng.


    Of the six golden dragon blessings, Zhao Feng¡¯s was the weakest.


    Above him was Goddess Bing Wei as all the other prodigies had won all their matches in the first round and she drew with Zhao Feng, losing one fifth of her dragon blessing.


    Within the transparent light dimension.


    Six golden dragon blessings roared, and it could be heard from far away.


    The True Dragon Token was a weird item that couldn¡¯t be stored in the interspatial items therefore the five overwhelming prodigies and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t conceal their aura.


    ¡°Six golden dragon blessings? Is another overwhelming prodigy going to appear this Sacred True Dragon Gathering?¡±


    ¡°Up to now Zhao Feng has the highest chance to become the sixth overwhelming prodigy and push this era to a peak.¡±


    The spectators were all excited and full of expectations.


    Although they had lost control of this Sacred True Dragon Gathering, it had become more exciting.


    Right now, there was over twenty dead geniuses and dozens of crippled geniuses. From this one could see the intense competition.


    As time passed the fighting became fiercer and deaths and injuries kept on appearing.


    ¡°Aye, there¡¯s less and less targets.¡±


    Zhao Feng flew around on the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus.


    He found many targets, but they didn¡¯t have True Dragon Token¡¯s or had formed a large party, making it hard to attack them.


    ¡°Run! It¡¯s golden dragon blessing!¡±


    ¡°Could this Zhao Feng going to become a new overwhelming prodigy? He¡¯s already reached sixth in terms of dragon blessing.¡±


    The geniuses found Zhao Feng from far away and ran away.


    At this moment there was six shining golden lights and others could feel this powerful dragon blessing from dozens of miles away.


    ¡°It¡¯s Zhao Feng! He¡¯s become the sixth strongest dragon blessing genius and is almost at the five overwhelming prodigies level.¡±


    Mo Tianyi felt the golden dragon blessing from far away and the surrounding geniuses all scattered.


    Fight or retreat?


    Mo Tianyi was going in Zhao Feng¡¯s direction and was facing a difficult choice

 363 Dual Skies of Ice and Fire

    __ Chapter 363 - Dual Skies of Ice and Fire


    _Inside the transparent bubble of light..._


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s eyes glittered and his figure was still.


    Beside him were two other geniuses of the Heavenly Yuan Clan. One of them was Zhao Yufei and the other was the yellow-faced man who was ranked number two in the clan.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng¡­" Zhao Yufei watched the golden dragon blessing with joy and worry.


    The three geniuses of the Heavenly Yuan Clan were all at least faint gold and Mo Tianyi¡¯s was pure gold but not bright enough to make a dragon appear.


    ¡°Brother Mo, what do we do?¡± The yellow-faced man¡¯s heart tightened.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s stride in this Sacred True Dragon Gathering was too strong and had fought against an overwhelming prodigy. He was without a doubt the number one black horse and no one questioned that he was the top genius under the five overwhelming prodigies.


    Now Zhao Feng¡¯s dragon blessing almost rivaled the five overwhelming prodigies.


    ¡°If he wants to fight, then we shall fight.¡± Mo Tianyi¡¯s expression was solemn and wasn¡¯t as casual as he first met Zhao Feng.


    Back at the Northern Star Stand Mo Tianyi¡¯s first opinion of Zhao Feng was ''so-so''.


    And now it was like he was facing a great danger.


    He had watched the entire battle between Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei of the battle of five zones and saw how Zhao Feng had created a miracle. He was shocked and stunned at that time.


    No matter how arrogant and proud he was, he had to admit the opponent was terrifying.


    The yellow-faced man¡¯s eyes twinkled as he said, ¡°If us three team up we definitely won¡¯t lose.¡±


    The chances were unlikely if it was just Mo Tianyi against Zhao Feng but if it added on him and Zhao Yufei, the result would be different.


    After all, there were no rules here. Teaming up or sneak attacks were allowed.


    ¡°You two don¡¯t interfere no matter the result,¡± Mo Tianyi took a deep breath and ordered. He felt embarrassed at what his junior martial brother had suggested.


    Being the Head disciple of one of the Ten Great Clans and the legend of the Northern continent, how would Mo Tianyi team up to challenge a newbie?


    _Sou---_


    Zhao Feng stood on the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus and was heading towards Mo Tianyi and company¡¯s direction as his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned around.


    As the two sides were closing in, the atmosphere became heavy and the geniuses watching from afar held their breaths. The spectators outside and Sovereigns looked on in interest.


    Zhao Feng had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and obviously saw Mo Tianyi and company, but he didn¡¯t back down and carried forward.


    The atmosphere became tenser and Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart jumped. Would brother Zhao Feng attack them?


    According to previous experience, once Zhao Feng attacked, there was almost no chance of failing.


    ¡°Looks like this battle is unavoidable.¡±


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s Qi of True Spirit started to circulate, and his actions connected with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. The air seemed to contain one mountain after another.


    Zhao Yufei and the yellow-faced man retreated a certain distance, not going to interrupt Zhao Feng and Mo Tianyi¡¯s battle.


    Before this Mo Tianyi had been the top genius of the Northern continent and even Xin Wuheng, Xia Xianshang, and company had lost to him before.


    _Weng~~_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye flashed with a transparent azure lightning flame. The color wasn¡¯t faint azure anymore.


    The azure lightning flame sparkled and looked extremely beautiful but was contained with critical danger.


    Mo Tianyi and company all yelled shit in their hearts.


    Zhao Feng had used this Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye back at the battle of five zones and its power was comparable or even more terrifying than the successors of the three major eye families.


    Even Goddess Bing Wei was wary of this skill.


    Plus, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was now at the peak True Human Rank and the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eyes¡¯ power had obviously increased.


    At that instant, both Mo Tianyi and the yellow-faced man tensed up.


    Everyone understood that Zhao Feng¡¯s eye skill was almost impossible to avoid. No one at the True Spirit Realm could dodge it.


    Although the yellow-faced man had the cultivation of the True Mystic Rank, he felt as if his flesh and mind were burning.


    Mo Tianyi seemed calm on the outside, but had no confidence against the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye flashed with a transparent azure lightning flame.


    At that moment in time _,_ Mo Tianyi and the yellow-faced man¡¯s heart both jumped.


    _Boom!_


    The Lightning Flame God¡¯s Eye started to burn in a lake two miles out and the devastating power instantly evaporated all the water within a yard of the impact.


    ¡°Ahhh!" A scream came from the lake, and a ghost-eyed man tumbled out.


    ¡°Ghost eyed man!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s him¡­ the successor of one of the three eye families, the Wu family!¡±


    Mo Tianyi and those watching exclaimed and felt lucky. Everyone saw that the ghost-eyed man¡¯s body was burning with an azure flame and lightning flashed everywhere.


    The power of lightning fire could attack both the physical and mental energy dimension.


    ¡°Shameless bastard, sneaking up on me¡­.¡± The ghost-eyed man finally put out the lightning fire, but his face was pale.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been hiding in the lake for a long time now. What good intentions do you have?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s face was cold and seemed to have victory in grasp.


    His Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye had already injured the ghost-eyed man both physically and mentally.


    The ghost-eyed man grit his teeth as he endured the burning in his mental energy dimension.


    A transparent azure flame was burning in his mind and lightning crackling there. The pain was ten times to a hundred times worse than physical pain.


    If it wasn¡¯t for his own eye bloodline, he might¡¯ve already crumbled.


    Seeing Zhao Feng close in, the ghost-eyed man turned into a shadow that disappeared.


    However, no matter how he ran, he couldn¡¯t run past Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Ghost Eye Soul Burner!!!¡± The ghost-eyed man grit his teeth as a dark flame glowed in his eyes.


    Dark grey fire instantly wrapped around Zhao Feng¡¯s body and the cold aura made Zhao Feng uneasy.


    Zhao Feng wore the Heavenly Luo Mystic Cloak, but it was unharmed. He activated his bloodline power and an ice void figure appeared behind him.


    _Weng~_


    A light of ice and lightning put out the dark grey flames which seemed to meet its match. The ice instantly put out the flames and the lightning perfectly countered the darkness.


    As for the mental energy attack, Zhao Feng once again circulated his Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye and put out the burning mental energy. His mental energy source far surpassed the ghost-eyed man and he remained uninjured.


    ¡°Brat, you stole my bloodline technique and are now repaying gratitude with vengeance!¡± the ghost-eyed man howled, his voice trembling with obvious fear.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye perfectly countered all his skills including his bloodline power and stealth.


    The Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye had copied his Ghost Eye Soul Burner but the former easily suppressed the latter.


    Powers such as lightning and fire was a huge counter for ghosts and the wicked path. Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline was stronger.


    Eye of Ice Soul!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye turned into a freezing pond and the power of ice eroded the opponent¡¯s mental energy.


    _Si!_


    The ghost-eyed man seemed to fall into an ice cave. He was trembling and hiccuping as the coldness spread and eroded his thoughts.


    Before it was lightning and fire, now it was ice.


    The ghost-eyed man had taken Zhao Feng¡¯s ''Dual Skies of Ice and Fire'' and his mind was injured.


    After being hit by the Eye of Ice Soul the ghost-eyed man¡¯s actions became very slow.


    People¡¯s actions were controlled by thoughts and when thoughts became frozen, it wasn¡¯t much different from being frozen.


    ¡°Indeed, worthy of being one of the three major eye families. After being hit by two of my skills he¡¯s only injured and isn¡¯t in a life or death situation,¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but admire.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s ''Dual Skies of Ice and Fire'' could end most normal early stage True Mystic Ranks.


    Although the Eye of Ice Soul wasn¡¯t explosive, it could last a long time.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was like a crystal that locked onto the ghost-eyed man and made the latter keep on hiccuping. His actions and expressions were all slowed down.


    _Miao miao!_


    An agile dark silver whip seemed to appear from out of nowhere and wrap towards the ghost-eyed man.


    _Huala!_


    The whip tightened around ghost-eyed man and started to suck his blood essence. This was a powerful blood from one of the three eye families.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare steal my True Dragon Token¡­.¡±


    The ghost-eyed man¡¯s face contorted and his dark grey eyes flashed with lines of blood, as if he was going to use a more powerful secret technique.


    _Pa!_


    The little thieving cat slapped his face with a paw and he instantly didn¡¯t know which way was what.


    _Plop!_


    The ghost-eyed man knelt on the ground and before he could react, the cat that had stolen his True Dragon Token had disappeared.


    ¡°En, not bad.¡± Zhao Feng soon received a gold True Dragon Token that was on par with Mo Tianyi¡¯s.


    _Weng~_


    In that instant, his golden dragon immediately rose by one third.


    Within the bubble of transparent light, the other five golden dragons seemed to sense something and let out a deep roar.


    At this point in time all the geniuses within this dimension could feel a sixth terrifying dragon blessing. Anyone within a hundred-mile radius could see the golden dragon with their naked eye.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s dragon blessing has reached the five overwhelming prodigies¡¯ level.¡±


    ¡°Could he become this generation¡¯s sixth overwhelming prodigy?¡±


    The spectators broke out into chaos. If this continued, he definitely would.


    Mo Tianyi had watched Zhao Feng defeated the ghost-eyed man and take his True Dragon Token from start to finish. This process left him shocked and a heavy heart.


    One had to know the ghost-eyed man was at the same level as him - experts of the first tier.


    Right at this moment-


    _Sou!_


    Zhao Feng flew towards Mo Tianyi, his blue hair dazzling.


    _Not good!_


    Mo Tianyi and the yellow-faced man¡¯s expression changed and even had the thoughts to run.

 364 Teamwork

    Zhao Feng suddenly closing in made Mo Tianyi feel a great pressure. His face was wary and didn¡¯t dare easily make a move.


    In terms of attack speed Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline easily surpassed his.


    Facing this kind of opponent both Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man tightened their hearts, not daring to relax.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, all of us comes from the Northern continent. Do you really want to be the Heavenly Yuan Clan¡¯s enemy?¡±


    The yellow faced man threatened but his wary and uneasy expression made his words unconfident.


    The Heavenly Yuan Clan was one of the Ten Great Clans and putting aside the Mystic Ice Palace, they were the strongest force that surpassed even the Three Great Countries.


    However Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to hear what he said and closed in. He didn¡¯t even look at them.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re still not a true overwhelming prodigy so don¡¯t think I can be bullied easily.¡±


    Mo Tianyi finally couldn¡¯t hold back and unleashed his Qi of True Spirit through his air. Invisible mountains seemed to descend from the sky.


    Yuan Mountain Great Secret Palm!


    A shining Qi of True Spirit flashed around a hundred yard radius and the palm was like a metal mountain that crushed over the arena.


    When that palm was thrust out the surrounding earth seemed to be compressed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart dropped as his blood and Qi of True Spirit was pressured. It was as if he was facing an unmovable mountain and no matter what he did was futile.


    Weng~


    An ice throne and figure appeared behind Zhao Feng and with the thrust of a palm, the two powers of lightning and ice interacted, creating a flower.


    The flower made from lightning and ice clashed with the Yuan Mountain Great Secret Palm and instantly exploded.


    Boom----


    A part of lightning and ice suddenly rebounded back towards Zhao Feng. The latter was slightly surprised; his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had analysed the Mo Tianyi¡¯s Yuan Mountain Great Secret Technique¡¯s insights and didn¡¯t expect a part to be rebounded.


    Luckily he was prepared and the three petals of the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus enveloped him and the Heavenly Luo Mystic armor also blocked a partial percentage of the damage.


    No one got the advantage in that clash.


    ¡°This Mo Tianyi¡¯s Yuan Mountain Great Secret Technique contains the elements of gold and earth. Those at the same level can¡¯t take care of him and attacks would instead be rebounded.¡±


    Zhao Feng realised.


    Unless he had the unparalleled power like Yu Tianhao and completely suppress him, it would be a difficult battle.


    In reality the best way to deal with Mo Tianyi was through the eye bloodline or Water Moon God Peach Fan.


    However, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t here to fight Mo Tianyi.


    ¡°Yufei.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t continue attacking and instead turned towards Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, you came here just for me?¡±


    Zhao Yufei smiled.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s target was Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°So you two know each other.¡±


    The yellow faced man let out a breath as Mo Tianyi understood.


    Back at the Northern star stand Zhao Feng had seen Zhao Yufei but they didn¡¯t talk and instead simply interacted through mental energy.


    He had done this also with Xin Wuheng, Cang Yuyue and Bei Moi.


    At that time Zhao Feng was grasping every moment in time to improve or else this scene wouldn¡¯t happen.


    Zhao Yufei felt slightly curious. Why did Zhao Feng suddenly come over to find her?


    She realised that Zhao Feng¡¯s hair and left eye had turned blue and was colder than the youth in her memories.


    ¡°There¡¯s one thing I need to work with the three.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze scanned over Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man.


    Teamwork?


    Mo Tianyi couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised. He didn¡¯t know Zhao Feng well and had only seen him once or twice.


    The only person that did was Zhao Yufei and even she was curious about Zhao Feng¡¯s suggestion.


    In theory if Zhao Feng could hold his own against an overwhelming prodigy then he shouldn¡¯t be scared of anything in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t speak and looked at the three in the eye.


    Shua!


    In the next instant the four entered an elegant room and Mo Tianyi, Zhao Yufei and the yellow faced man sat on a seat each.


    In front of them was Zhao Feng.


    This was the way they would communicate.


    Mo Tianyi and company were stunned. They hadn¡¯t thought that Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy skill had reached this level.


    ¡°This is a simple mental energy illusion.¡±


    Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    He had stepped in the ancient dao of the soul and touched the Dark Eye incomplete page hence had a deeper understanding in mental energy.


    This scene was just based on mental energy and was very rough. It could be extremely easy to determine whether it was real or fake.


    No one outside could also see what happened and went on inside.


    At the same time.


    The nine Sovereigns looked at Zhao Feng and could guess a thing or two about their states.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s dragon blessing is about the five overwhelming prodigies¡¯ level.¡±


    The Sovereigns placed great importance on this as the Sacred True Dragon Gathering rankings were determined by the amount of dragon blessing.


    ¡°In terms of pure dragon blessing, he¡¯s indeed at the overwhelming prodigy level. His only weakness is that he¡¯s still a bit away from the overwhelming prodigies¡¯ battle power.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant concluded and the other Sovereigns nodded.


    The reason why Zhao Feng didn¡¯t lose to Goddess Bing Wei was because the former perfectly countered the latter. If it was another overwhelming prodigy in her place, Zhao Feng probably would¡¯ve lost horribly.


    ¡°Hehe, having the dragon blessing of an overwhelming prodigy but not the strength of one. Would the other overwhelming prodigies let him be?¡±


    The Green Moon female Sovereign smiled.


    Up to now.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s dragon blessing was the smallest of the six and only close to Goddess BIng Wei.


    However, his rate of growth was too fast and might even surpass an overwhelming genius, if not the majority.


    However.


    Being in this situation how wouldn¡¯t Zhao Feng not know this?


    Within the mental illusion room.


    Zhao Feng and Mo Tianyi talked for a long time but in the physical world only a breath had passed.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you ask for too much. You want us three Heavenly Yuan Clan disciples to protect you?¡±


    Mo Tianyi said in dissatisfaction.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already said what I¡¯ll give you and will help double the amount of your dragon blessing. Plus I¡¯ll also give some Mystic Flower Saint Liquid to help Yufei break through. If I¡¯m correct Yufei cultivation has reached near the peak True Human Rank but has a pure Qi of True Spirit and has fulfilled the requirements to break through to the True Mystic Rank. This is a win win situation.¡±


    Zhao Feng once again stated out the deal.


    His deal was pretty good but Mo Tianyi was bargaining for more.


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s eyes twinkled: ¡°Zhao Feng, I can tell from the exchange just then that there¡¯s still a bit of difference between you and a true overwhelming prodigy. Hehe, with such a large amount of dragon blessing and having offended Goddess Bing Wei, once any two overwhelming prodigies team up, they can force you into despair.¡±


    When Zhao Feng asked for ¡®protection¡¯, how could Mo Tianyi not see the situation?


    Zhao Feng was still a bit off an overwhelming prodigy but once he reached the True Mystic Rank, it would shorten the gap between them.


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s weakness. He had used the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to control the situation and had purposely avoided the five overwhelming prodigies but now his dragon blessing was almost on par with them and that made the situation bad.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the moment you reach the True Mystic Rank you will become the sixth overwhelming prodigy. How will we know if you decide to attack us then?¡±


    The yellow faced man was still wary.


    ¡°I believe in Brother Zhao Feng.¡±


    Zhao Yufei trusted Zhao Feng and was willing to work together.


    Therefore, Mo Tianyi and company couldn¡¯t really disagree.


    ¡°If I succeed I¡¯ll try help the Heavenly Yuan Clan out and can even sign a blood contract.¡±


    Zhao Feng promised.


    Hearing this the yellow faced man and Mo Tianyi were moved.


    ¡°We don¡¯t need the blood contract. I believe in Yufei and you.¡±


    Mo Tianyi nodded his head and the two sides reached an agreement.


    Mo Tianyi and company would protect Zhao Feng while the latter would increase their dragon blessing by one times more and give some Mystic Flower Saint Liquid to Zhao Yufei to help increase the Heavenly Yuan Clan¡¯s overall strength.


    Finally.


    If Zhao Feng succeeded he would help the Heavenly Yuan Clan out.


    Although it seemed it wasn¡¯t worth it for Zhao Feng, it was in reality win win. After all, Zhao Feng was just a step away from the top three in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering or even first.


    Next.


    Zhao Feng, Mo Tianyi and company started to steal True Dragon Tokens.


    Because of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye Zhao Feng could soon find a target but because his dragon blessing was too big, the others could see him from far away and would run, therefore Zhao Feng made Mo Tianyi and company ambush them with the help of the little thieving cat.


    Within half a day.


    The four had succeeded in ambushing five to six geniuses including Qin Kunwu of the first tier.


    Mo Tianyi, Zhao Yufei and the yellow faced man¡¯s dragon blessing had all doubled and under Zhao Feng¡¯s purposeful help Zhao Yufei¡¯s dragon blessing was close to Mo Tianyi¡¯s.


    ¡°It¡¯s about time to find a quiet place and you guys to help me.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He had find the place a long time ago and the path was very stealthy, hard to be found by others.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye once again surveyed the place and paid attention to the five prodigies¡¯ situation.


    In the North West direction.


    Tantai Lanyue and Shi Chengtian teamed up and fought Yu Tianhao. They made the heavens dark and mountains within several miles to shatter.


    Goddess Bing Wei hid and watched the battle between Yu Tianhao, Tantai Lanyue and Shi Chengtian.


    As for Taiyun Shuangzi, the pair of brothers were killing everyone nearby.


    ¡°This is the perfect moment.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and led Mo Tianyi and co. into a river of the South East corner and started to descend.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng reached a man-made cave in the depths of the river.


    ¡°Although it¡¯s hard to find this place your dragon blessing is still too much. Once someone gets close they¡¯ll still be able to sense it.¡±


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    ¡°Hehe, thanks Brother Mo.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s smile was smug as he closed his eyes and didn¡¯t seem to pay any more attention to the outside world anymore.

 365 Pushing Towards the True Mystic Rank

    Within the cave.


    Zhao Feng sat cross legged with Zhao Yufei next to him.


    Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man were responsible for protecting them and inspecting the situation around.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared holding the Mystic Snake Blood whip and stood next to its owner, becoming the closest guard.


    The reason why Zhao Feng could trust Mo Tianyi was because of Zhao Yufei.


    Of course.


    Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t put all his safety concerns to others. The reason why he let Mo Tianyi protect him was because he still had something to rely on.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already passed the most difficult part of the breaking through to the True Mystic Rank, the root of law. Now I only need to condense and refine the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng was closing his eyes he always left a bit of focus on the outside world.


    Furthermore, he still had the little thieving cat guarding him. Zhao Yufei could be considered a friend that had grown up with him. If Zhao Feng and Mo Tianyi started fighting Zhao Yufei was more likely to protect the former.


    The worst result was Zhao Feng failing to break through but there would be no dangers.


    Therefore, this deal was worth a try.


    ¡°Yufei, here¡¯s the Mystic Flower Saint Liquid.¡±


    Zhao Feng handed over a small bottle to Zhao Yufei.


    The Mystic Flower Saint Liquid was made from the Hundred Flower Saint Liquid and three other Saint liquids, forming a supreme liquid. It helped those at the True Spirit Realm comprehend the root of law and increased the chances of reaching the True Mystic Rank by 30%.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s price for the deal seemed bad but the Mystic Flower Saint Liquid would end up in Zhao Yufei¡¯s hands in the end, so Zhao Feng didn¡¯t mind it.


    Plus, the Mystic Flower Saint Liquid¡¯s main use was to increase the mental energy senses so wasn¡¯t much help to Zhao Feng who had already formed a root of law.


    The yellow faced man and Mo Tianyi were both at the True Mystic Rank and obviously didn¡¯t need this as well.


    The Mystic Flower Saint Liquid was given to Zhao Yufei as part of the deal but was without a doubt the best result.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, I coincidentally have a Lightning Mystic Stone from entering the Clan¡¯s inheritance last time.¡±


    Zhao Yufei handed over a natural purple lightning stone to Zhao Feng.


    This stone¡¯s appearance instantly caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to move and Zhao Feng¡¯s Qi of True Spirit to tremble with excitement.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Lightning Mystic stone. The requirements of this stone are to pass through the countless washing of Heaven and Earth Lightning until it contains the profoundness of lightning¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed as he received this stone.


    In terms of value Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Mystic Stone wasn¡¯t any lower than the Mystic Flower Saint Liquid.


    This scene obviously fell into Mo Tianyi¡¯s eyes.


    The interaction between Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei made him feel complex.


    Even in the world of clans, martial brothers would calculate one another and even kill them if there was enough profit.


    Mo Tianyi was used to this and was lonely, cold.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t have any tricks. After all, the two had grown up together.


    ¡°Last time a martial uncle had asked to trade something for the Lightning Mystic stone off Sister Yufei, but I remember her saying that she had already traded the Lightning Mystic Stone. I didn¡¯t think she still had it.¡±


    The yellow faced man¡¯s eyes twinkled as he guessed the connection between the two.


    Could these two be related by blood?


    The cave was dead silent.


    Zhao Feng gripped the Lightning Mystic Stone and wisps of pure lightning essence was sucked into his body then refined by his True Spirit Lightning Fire.


    Originally Zhao Feng worried about his Lightning Inheritance Source of True Spirit would be replaced by the Water Moon pirates but with the Lightning Mystic Stone, the process would slow down substantially.


    What made Zhao Feng surprised was that the lightning within the Lightning Mystic Stone was more compatible with nature and purer than his own Lightning Inheritance.


    The lightning insights contained with it could perfect and replenish Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension of lightning.


    Within his mind.


    The tower representing the Lightning Inheritance.


    The second floor had fully lit up and the third floor had the signs of light appearing.


    Unknowingly Zhao Feng had reached the peak of the second floor and according to the description of the Lightning Inheritance, the third floor needed the cultivation of the True Lord Rank to comprehend.


    Sizzles of azure lightning appeared around Zhao Feng and moved agilely, but none of them hit the little thieving cat.


    Time passed slowly.


    Zhao Feng kept on absorbing the essence of the Lightning Mystic Stone while also absorbing and refining the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit.


    This still meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s Source of True Spirit was dominated by the power of lightning.


    On the other side.


    Zhao Yufei received the Mystic Flower Saint Liquid and felt refreshed.


    Her situation was the complete opposite of Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level surpassed his cultivation and it was his Qi of True Spirit that was lacking whereas Zhao Yufei¡¯s bloodline had retraced back to its ancestor and had a high compatibility with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. Her Qi of True Spirit was pure, and could even her flesh could merge with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. The True Spirit Yuan Qi she had was several times the norm.


    This meant that as long as her mental energy level was enough, Zhao Yufei could rapidly increase her cultivation.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw all this with a glance.


    It had to be said that Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei had helped one another and the former suddenly remembered thee Yin Yang trading technique.


    If it could be used Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level could help Zhao Yufei¡¯s and Zhao Yufei¡¯s pure Qi of True Spirit could help Zhao Feng.


    However, this thought flashed by in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. Just as the Water Moon pirate said, although the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible was powerful, it wasn¡¯t the best path.


    When Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei were in seclusion Mo Tianyi and company were doing their job.


    There was the occasional genius that came here and Mo Tianyi and co. would chase them away.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s dragon blessing was too enormous and those that got close would be able to easily sense it.


    With Mo Tianyi and company¡¯s strength and dragon blessing, the normal geniuses that came by would usually quickly retreat.


    As long as they didn¡¯t meet the overwhelming prodigies, Mo Tianyi didn¡¯t need to fear anything.


    His only worry was what if the overwhelming prodigies came?


    As long as the overwhelming prodigies didn¡¯t meet another, they were unbeatable existences.


    Under normal situations Mo Tianyi could escape if he met an overwhelming prodigy but now he needed to guard Zhao Feng.


    Even if it wasn¡¯t because of Zhao Feng he still needed to take care of his junior martial sister who was also a disciple of a Sovereign.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng sure does know to plan and dragged Sister Yufei down as well.¡±


    Mo Tianyi knew he couldn¡¯t retreat.


    Zhao Feng was now on the Heavenly Yuan Clan¡¯s boat.


    On the second day Zhao Feng was in seclusion a first-tier genius arrived.


    If it was a normal first tier genius such as Qin Kunwu, Xia Xianshang or company, Mo Tianyi was confident he could take care of them.


    However, this first tier genius was the successor of one of the three major eye families, the Tuoba family - Tuoba Qi.


    Tuoba Qi¡¯s performance was even better than Mo Tianyi¡¯s in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    In the air Mo Tianyi and Tuoba Qi looked at each other.


    Tuoba Qi had a cold smile on his face and wasn¡¯t scared of the two True Mystic Rank¡¯s.


    His Heavenly Piercing Eye was almost instantly slash his opponent and rarely be dodged.


    The atmosphere became tense and the people outside the bubble of light were interested in what was going to happen next.


    The Sovereigns and spectators watching obviously knew that Mo Tianyi was protecting Zhao Feng.


    Weng~ Hu!


    Right at this moment a powerful aura surged from the river and the faint shadow of a golden dragon seemed to appear.


    Tuoba Qi¡¯s heart went cold, and an ice-cold eye seemed to lock onto him.


    Looking at the golden dragon again Tuoba Qi seemed to guess something, and his expression became solemn.


    Shua!


    Tuoba Qi instantly turned around and left.


    Facing the sixth strongest dragon blessing holder and a person also with a powerful eye bloodline, Tuoba Qi didn¡¯t have any confidence especially with Mo Tianyi and company there.


    He had watched Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s battle and heard of the news of the ghost eyed man being defeated by Zhao Feng.


    It was because of this he chose to retreat.


    Hu~


    Mo Tianyi and company let out a breath.


    Tuoba Qi¡¯s Heavenly Piercing Eye was terrifying and hard to fen against.


    Before there was even a first-tier expert that was defeated by Tuoba Qi in one eye.


    Even Mo Tianyi didn¡¯t know the outcome if he fought Tuoba Qi.


    ¡°Looks like the sixth dragon¡¯s fame is pretty big.¡±


    The yellow faced man couldn¡¯t help looking down at the lake and say.


    Zhao Feng returned to his cave and resumed cultivation.


    Because he had already formed the root of law Zhao Feng only needed to convert and purify the Qi of True Spirit, so he could exit cultivation any time he wanted.


    Anytime a powerful genius appeared and didn¡¯t retreat Zhao Feng would release some aura.


    Apart from the five overwhelming prodigies no one dared to go up against Zhao Feng and Mo Tianyi teamed up.


    Three days soon passed, and Zhao Feng¡¯s Source of True Spirit expanded to the peak True Human Rank.


    He was just a little bit away from reaching the True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°This guy¡¯s growth rate is way too fast.¡±


    Mo Tianyi clucked his tongue.


    He thought that Zhao Feng would need ten to fifteen days to reach the True Mystic Rank but right now, it seemed like he only needed four or five.


    ¡°This is the last day, guard it well.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and focused on cultivating.


    In reality.


    Because Zhao Feng and Mo Tianyi were here many geniuses put this place down as a forbidden area.


    Not many people came here.


    However, right on this day a surge of powerful aura came from in front. A shining dragon could be seen.


    ¡°Not good, there¡¯s an overwhelming prodigy approaching!¡±


    Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man¡¯s expression both changed dramatically and immediately warned Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Overwhelming prodigy? Could it be Goddess Bing Wei?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression drooped.


    He opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and looked out.


    In the air a beautiful woman sat on a large colourful bird and held a five-coloured glass whip. Her eyes were pure and bright.


    ¡°Overwhelming prodigy¡­. Tantai Lanyue!¡±


    Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man exclaimed in panic.

 366 Yu Tianhao!

    The newcomer was Tantai Lanyue, one of the most unique overwhelming prodigies.


    Tantai Lanyue wore a coloured dress and revealed snow white long legs. She was extremely alluring and was like the girl from next door.


    In terms of pure cultivation Tantai Lanyue was the lowest amongst the five overwhelming prodigies, the same as Mo Tianyi.


    However, right now Mo Tianyi¡¯s expression was solemn.


    The opponent was a beast tamer and their biggest reliance wasn¡¯t themselves but their spiritual pets.


    For example, the big carrying Tantai Lanyue¡¯s battle power was comparable to the peak True Mystic Rank and she had a total of two pets like this.


    What was more terrifying was that Tantai Lanyue still had a king card and the Horned Earth Dragon was an ancient beast with a powerful bloodline whose battle power was close to the True Lord Rank.


    She also had more than a dozen spiritual pets who had weird abilities and could face all types of situations.


    Furthermore, being the number one genius of the best taming family, Tantai Lanyue¡¯s mental energy source was extremely powerful and close to the True Lord Rank.


    As Tantai Lanyue came closer.


    The bird comparable to the peak True Lord Rank brought a pressure to Mo Tianyi and company who panicked in their hearts.


    Sou!


    Tantai Lanyue¡¯s flying speed was extremely fast and her eyebrows lightly furrowed as she locked onto Mo Tianyi and company.


    At the same time.


    A powerful dragon blessing surged from the river that was almost on par with Tantai Lanyue.


    Within the cave Zhao Feng locked onto Tantai Lanyue with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°This girl has a large mental energy source and can use mental energy well.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt troubled.


    This meant that Tantai Lanyue had a strong resilience towards Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline and far surpassed Goddess Bing Wei.


    She could be Zhao Feng¡¯s nemesis.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t conceal his aura and used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to warn Tantai Lanyue.


    If Tantai Lanyue had bad intentions Zhao Feng would have to team up with Mo Tianyi and company to fight against her.


    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re that Zhao Feng? I suggest you to not try anything. Your mental energy is useless against me.¡±


    Tantai Lanyue¡¯s Spiritual Sense was even top tier amongst the five overwhelming prodigies and soon found Zhao Feng¡¯s position.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t move and didn¡¯t say anything.


    His eye bloodline was biased towards mental energy and his head hurt from meeting Tantai Lanyue.


    ¡°What, scared?¡±


    Tantai Lanyue smiled and waved her five-coloured whip towards the river, ripping a whole in it.


    Waves rushed towards the cave Zhao Feng was at.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed. Tantai Lanyue¡¯s actions were provoking him.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye flashed with an azure lighting fire.


    Hu!


    A transparent lightning flame burned the bird under Tantai Lanyue¡¯s feet.


    Instantly.


    The coloured bird let out a screech that could be heard for dozens of miles.


    The lightning fire could burn both the physical and mental energy dimension.


    Although the coloured bird wasn¡¯t severely injured it was in pain and almost threw Tantai Lanyue off.


    ¡°How dare you injured my little coloured sparrow!?¡±


    Tantai Lanyue yelled and flipped in the air before stabilising herself. Her hair was messy and seemed ruffled.


    Bo!


    Another mental energy sound attack hit the coloured bird, making the latter go crazy once more and made Tantai Lanyue panic.


    ¡°Hehe, although my eye bloodline might not have much an effect on you who has a strong source of mental energy, I am still a half beast tamer and have methods to injure your spiritual pet.¡±


    Zhao Feng smugly smiled as he said through the mental energy dimension.


    Being a beast tamer Tantai Lanyue loved every one of her spiritual pets and a few days ago she had fought Yu Tianhao, injuring several of her stronger spiritual pets.


    However, she didn¡¯t expect to find another troublesome person that would attack her spiritual pets.


    Tantai Lanyue bit her lips and hesitated whether to summon the Horned Earth Dragon Beast, her king card but at this moment Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s battle appeared in her mind.


    Zhao Feng had too many methods and had strong defence. If she couldn¡¯t finish him off, it was the same as offending a troublesome figure that was almost as strong as an overwhelming genius.


    As Tantai Lanyue was hesitating another surging dragon blessing even stronger than Zhao Feng and Tantai Lanyue appeared.


    A shining golden dragon could be seen from far away.


    After focusing to see who it was, they were all frightened.


    The new comer was a black-haired youth and his eyes seemed to contain the universe.


    His every action contained confidence and solitude.


    ¡°You caught up so quickly?¡±


    Tantai Lanyue exclaimed.


    Sou!


    Without even turning around she summoned the coloured bird and sped off into the distance.


    If there was anyone that could keep on beating Tantai Lanyue in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, there would only be one person.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao!¡±


    Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man all took a deep breath.


    The black-haired youth was the continents top genius that surpassed geniuses of other generations.


    Although Yu Tianhao seemed to walk slowly, his speed was insanely quick and closed in on this direction.


    Tantai Lanyue didn¡¯t have any will to battle.


    Thinking about the battle a few days ago, Tantai Lanyue was still shocked.


    Yu Tianhao was a fighting maniac that had challenged Tantai Lanyue and Shi Chengtian at the same time without being disadvantaged.


    After that battle several of Tantai Lanyue¡¯s spiritual pets were injured including the Horned Earth Dragon Beast.


    Even Shi Chengtian who specialised in defence was covered in injuries.


    If it wasn¡¯t because that Shi Chengtian had attracted Yu Tianhao away, Tantai Lanyue¡¯s losses would probably be greater.


    Therefore, Tantai Lanyue had started to run the second she saw Yu Tianhao.


    Before Mo Tianyi and company could let out a breath for Tantai Lanyue¡¯s departure, another even more terrifying existence had come.


    Yu Tianhao!


    This name was enough to shake the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and make any genius fear it. The other overwhelming prodigies would be wary and retreat when they met him.


    Shua! Shua!


    Within a few steps Yu Tianhao had appeared where Mo Tianyi was at.


    ¡°She ran away pretty fast.¡±


    Yu Tianhao murmured to himself. In terms of flying speed, he didn¡¯t have much an advantage against her flying beast.


    He couldn¡¯t catch up to an overwhelming prodigy that focused solely on escaping.


    Yu Tianhao stood in the air and sent Tantai Lanyue away with his eyes.


    Suddenly.


    His eyes scanned towards the depths of the river.


    Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man had both retreated to here.


    When Yu Tianhao¡¯s gaze scanned over an aura comparable to the True Lord Rank appeared.


    Both Mo Tianyi and Zhao Feng felt unable to breathe and their Qi of True Spirit was slightly restricted.


    If Zhao Feng¡¯s guesses were correct Yu Tianhao had the peak True Mystic Rank cultivation but the mental energy level of the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Does the sixth dragon blessing genius dare to fight me?¡±


    Yu Tianhao didn¡¯t immediately make a move and a smile appeared on his mouth.


    A strong confidence and battle intent rose from him.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart dropped. He didn¡¯t think that Yu Tianhao had ¡®payed attention¡¯ to him and was even now challenging him.


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s emotions were complex on the side.


    Yu Tianhao was a total battle maniac but rarely challenged anyone especially those of the younger generation.


    However, Zhao Feng had entered Yu Tianhao¡¯s eyes and was an opponent.


    To be able to be seen as the number one prodigy¡¯s opponent, how much glory was this worth?


    At least Mo Tianyi had participated in two Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s but Yu Tianhao hadn¡¯t paid attention to him and beat him easily.


    Facing Yu Tianhao¡¯s challenge Zhao Feng was silent.


    He remembered Yu Tianhao¡¯s Unparalleled under the Heavens move which had overwhelming offense, battle intent and confidence.


    That confidence and belief was stronger than any sword or blade intent Zhao Feng had seen.


    Just that thought alone could crush Tian Yunzhi¡¯s blade intent, destroy Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword intent and scared ghosts and gods.


    At this point in time.


    Yu Tianhao was in the air and his supreme confidence and beliefs alone could defeat his opponents.


    Mo Tianyi, Zhao Yufei and the yellow faced man¡¯s heart shook. It was as if a demonic god was above them. Their heartbeats could be heard extremely clearly.


    Yu Tianhao stood there quietly, waiting.


    He looked at where Zhao Feng was at and his eyes were filled with battle intent.


    He didn¡¯t attack immediately out of respect.


    Thinking about the youth that was younger than him by ten years and how he never gave up and created a miracle, Yu Tianhao admired him.


    Mo Tianyi and company could feel his state of heart.


    If it were another opponent or even an overwhelming prodigy, Yu Tianhao might attack without hesitation.


    From this one could see Zhao Feng¡¯s importance in Yu Tianhao.


    ¡°Indeed, worthy of being the number one genius. I¡¯m currently not your match but I can recommend someone to you.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly spoke.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes¡¯ large source of mental energy made Zhao Feng stable even when facing Yu Tianhao¡¯s battle intent.


    This also increased Yu Tianhao¡¯s rating of him.


    Recommend an opponent?


    Not only was Yu Tianhao surprised, even Mo Tianyi and company were shocked.


    Who else could fight Yu Tianhao apart from the overwhelming prodigies in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering?¡±


    ¡°Find someone called ¡®Xin Wuheng.¡¯ He fought me to a draw in the past when restricting his cultivation. He¡¯s in this place as well.¡±


    A weird smile curled in Zhao Feng¡¯s lips.


    Right now, he was at the critical point of breaking through to the True Mystic Rank and it wasn¡¯t the best time to fight.


    However, a battle maniac such as Yu Tianhao wasn¡¯t that easy to send away.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng¡¯s mind flashed and thought of a great plan.


    Yu Tianhao, you want to fight me? I don¡¯t have the time right now, but I can recommend you someone at least as strong as me.


    Coincidentally.


    Xin Wuheng was someone that Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t see through and, so he let the number one genius Yu Tianhao to test him out.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Yu Tianhao nodded his head.


    He seemed to be interested in the Xin Wuheng that Zhao Feng mentioned and maybe also saw that Zhao Feng was at the critical point so didn¡¯t bother staying behind and flew off.

 367 Success

    Inside the cave.


    Sending Yu Tianhao away with their eyes Mo Tianyi and company¡¯s heart felt much better.


    The yellow faced man laughed: ¡°Directing the current away is such a good trick. I wonder what Yu Tianhao¡¯s reaction will be when he finds that the latter isn¡¯t what he imagined.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng, are you sure Xin Wuheng can attract Yu Tianhao¡¯s attention?¡±


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s face was curious.


    The two were uneasy.


    Mo Tianyi knew Xin Wuheng¡¯s strength.


    The two had sparred before and Mo Tianyi had won.


    He had to admit that Xin Wuheng was skilled but to fight an overwhelming prodigy? He was at least a level or two away.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng is immeasurable and I want to see his strength but this time¡­ his opponent is the number genius in the continent. Let¡¯s see if he can bring some surprises.¡±


    Zhao Feng said uncertainly.


    He wasn¡¯t sure whether Xin Wuheng could block Yu Tianhao. After all Yu Tianhao was a chosen one that had crushed geniuses of dozens of generations and had even surpassed the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch and Sword Saint Ye Wuxie when they were his age.


    Yu Tianhao could be described as the most talented prodigy ever.


    However, Zhao Feng also did this based on instinct.


    There were many puzzles in his life.


    For example, this God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s history and its past owner. What kind if being was it?


    For example, what was the point of the curses of the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground?


    How would the ancient arena connect with the inheritances?


    These were all puzzles and in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart Xin Wuheng was also one.


    Back at the Sun Feather City in the Genius Summit Xin Wuheng had ¡®intents¡¯.


    At that time everyone was at the Consolidated Realm and drew with Zhao Feng after suppressing his cultivation by one rank.


    He had then left, and no one knew where he went.


    After Yu Tianhao¡¯s departure.


    Zhao Feng grasped the time available to try and reach the True Mystic Rank.


    In reality, there was no bottleneck for him, just a bit of time was needed.


    Within his dantian sizzles of Lightning Qi of True Spirit cleansed his body and fused with him.


    Apart from the lightning Qi of True Spirit there was also a wicked Qi of True Spirit that came from the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    To make the Lightning Inheritance the dominant force Zhao Feng absorbed the energy within the Lightning Mystic Stone and comprehended the origin of Lightning.


    Not only was Zhao Feng¡¯s True Force rapidly rising, his insights were also increasing by leaps and bounds.


    Wu~~


    The True Spirit Lightning Flame within Zhao Feng¡¯s dantian refined the Qi of True Spirit within his body and with the expansion of the Source of True Spirit the True Spirit Lightning Flame¡¯s power also rose.


    A part of Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eyes¡¯ power came from this True Spirit Lightning Flame.


    Therefore, at the last moment he was trying to purify and refine this True Spirit Lightning Fire.


    Time passed slowly and on the last point of the last day Zhao Feng¡¯s True Spirit aura started to condense and become deeper.


    The two protectors had complex expressions.


    The growth of Zhao Feng within a few days was at least several years to a decade¡¯s hard work from a genius.


    Mo Tianyi was certain that Zhao Feng had met some fortune. At least the Source of True Spirit within his body couldn¡¯t be explained.


    On the other side.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s were closed and after drinking the Mystic Flower Saint Liquid, her body gave off a compact mental energy aura.


    The Mystic Flower Saint Liquid could greatly increase one¡¯s mental energy senses and was useful for comprehending the root of law.


    Slowly but steadily the signs of a root of law appeared on Zhao Yufei¡¯s body.


    ¡°Sister Yufei¡¯s already formed the beginning of a root of law.¡±


    Mo Tianyi was slightly shocked.


    As time passed Zhao Yufei¡¯s root of law signs was growing stronger.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt an unusual aura.


    The nearby Heaven Earth Yuan Qi¡¯s activity rate was dozens of times more than the norm.


    These Heaven Earth Yuan Qi were extremely close to Zhao Yufei and closed in on her.


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to look at it closer.


    In the air countless sparks of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi flowed in from every direction and approached Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei was like a magnet that attracted Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    ¡°Yufei¡¯s bloodline has a shocking compatibility with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. After forming the root of law, the compatibility rate seems to have been magnified ten times.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was stunned by what he analysed.


    Furthermore, he found that Zhao Yufei¡¯s flesh and blood could absorb and merge with Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Her skin was pure white and as smooth as jade.


    Incredible.


    Zhao Feng also received some benefits from this. His root of law caught the lightning Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby.


    It was as if Zhao Feng was sitting next to a Heaven Earth Yuan Qi magnet and the benefits from it was unbelievable.


    ¡°Looks like my breaking through speed can be doubled.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    Zhao Yufei was like his lucky star. She first brought him the Lightning Mystic Stone then attracted so many Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    The air above the river where the two cultivated started to flash with lightning and other colours.


    Luckily most of the geniuses had set this place as a forbidden zone and didn¡¯t dare come closer.


    Many knew that there was the ¡®sixth dragon blessing¡¯ genius Zhao Feng and first tier Mo Tianyi there. Without an overwhelming prodigy no one dared to venture there.


    Most of the other overwhelming prodigies knew this as well.


    Yu Tianhao and Tantai Lanyue had passed by but no battle was fought.


    On a mountain in the South.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes looked coldly towards where Zhao Feng was with hatred and unwillingness.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, so you were hiding all the time cultivating? Looks like your true cultivation hasn¡¯t reached the True Mystic Rank and is still half a level away from the overwhelming prodigy level.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s face went chilly.


    Shua!


    Her figure flashed and disappeared from the mountain.


    She didn¡¯t head towards where Zhao Feng was at and instead went in the opposite direction.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power counters mine and has strong defence. Just me alone can¡¯t take care of him.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei wasn¡¯t blinded by hate.


    Even if she went over, facing Zhao Feng, Mo Tianyi and company, she wouldn¡¯t win.


    Therefore, Goddess Bing Wei soon had a plan.


    Find helpers.


    Only by finding another overwhelming prodigy that wasn¡¯t countered by Zhao Feng would the chances of winning increase.


    Apart from her, the other overwhelming prodigies were: Yu Tianhao, Taiyun Shuangzi, Tantai Lanyue and Shi Chengtian.


    Goddess Bing Wei immediately excluded Yu Tianhao.


    Yu Tianhao was lonely and wouldn¡¯t allow himself to team up against someone especially if that someone wasn¡¯t even an overwhelming prodigy.


    In the entire Sacred True Dragon Gathering Yu Tianhao didn¡¯t need to team up with anyone to beat them.


    Next, Taiyun Shuangzi.


    ¡°Taiyun Shuangzi is strong but is cruel and cunning. His attitude changes frequently. It¡¯ll be hard to work with him but it¡¯s worth a try.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes flashed.


    Next was Tantai Lanyue and Shi Chengtian.


    Goddess Bing Wei removed Tantai Lanyue.


    Before Tantai Lanyue had teamed up with Shi Chengtian to fight Yu Tianhao but not only did they win, they also had some losses.


    Goddess Bing Wei who was hiding in secret also ambushed Tantai Lanyue and the latter¡¯s losses were quite big. At the same time, she now hated Goddess Bing Wei.


    Therefore, the only two choices were Taiyun Shuangzi and Shi Chengtian.


    ¡°Taiyun Shuangzi consists of two brothers meaning their strength is doubled when working together. Shi Chengtian has the Stone Heart bloodline and has extreme defence. He once took Yu Tianhao¡¯s attacks head on and has talent in gravity.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei searched for these two overwhelming prodigies.


    The aura of the overwhelming prodigies in this place was extremely obvious.


    Soon.


    Goddess Bing Wei found the slaughterer Taiyun Shuangzi.


    Of the five overwhelming prodigies, Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s dragon blessing was only below Yu Tianhao¡¯s.


    ¡°Hehe¡­. Ice beauty, what you here for?¡±


    The two heads and four eyes of Taiyun Shuangzi respectively controlled the sword and blade like a monster of slaughter.


    One of the mouths even had remaining blood there which was soon licked up.


    Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s two pairs of eyes scanned towards Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s body, especially the breasts and legs with lust and greed.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyebrows furrowed with obvious disgust. If it were someone else, she would have turned them into an ice block with an Extreme Northern Ice Wind.


    However, Taiyun Shuangzi was an overwhelming prodigy at her level that also had the power to challenge Yu Tianhao.


    The cave.


    Weng~


    A layer of azure lightning surrounded Zhao Feng.


    This lightning was incredible agile. It could turn into spider webs or even form sword and whips.


    An ¡®azure lightning mystic flower¡¯ mark appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead, different from the mark of the Lightning Inheritance before.


    He aura wasn¡¯t chaotic anymore but agile and ghostly, more natural with the Heaven and Earth.


    A deep azure Source of True Spirit now had a larger quantity and was purer than before.


    Crack!


    The Lightning Mystic Stone within Zhao Feng¡¯s palm turned into powder.


    The yellow faced man and Mo Tianyi both had complex expressions and they let out a long breath.


    Zhao Feng gave them a brand-new feeling from inside out.


    His gaze was as sharp as lightning, and his blue hair seemed to be from a dream. The azure lightning mystic flower mark on his forehead made him seem more wicked.


    Looking at him, Zhao Feng was like a Lord of the Wicked path, confident and cold.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you''re breaking through speed was much faster than expected. Don¡¯t you need to consolidate your foundation?¡±


    Mo Tianyi saw Zhao Feng stand up and couldn¡¯t help but say.

 368 Fighting an Overwhelming Prodigy again

    ¡°There¡¯s no time, prepare to battle.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked coldly towards the West as he rose.


    Hearing this Mo Tianyi and company lost the colour in their faces. What kind of opponent forced Zhao Feng to not even consolidate his cultivation?


    Shua!


    A ghostly after image was left behind as Zhao Feng disappeared.


    ¡°What speed!¡±


    The yellow faced man opened his mouth and couldn¡¯t react to it.


    ¡°This movement is extremely unusual and can ever trick the mental energy senses.¡±


    Sou!


    Mo Tianyi reacted and immediately followed behind the yellow faced man while at this time Zhao Feng had already risen above the air and looked at the forest in the West coldly.


    A while later.


    Above the forest was a golden dragon with a terrifying aura.


    ¡°I can sense this dragon blessing from so far away. It¡¯s most likely an overwhelming prodigy.¡±


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s heart dropped but thinking that he had another quasi overwhelming prodigy next to him, a bit of expectations came from him.


    Zhao Feng waited in the air with a solemn expression.


    Weng~


    The dragon blessing in the forest became stronger.


    There was one golden dragon there¡­. Wait, no. There was two.


    ¡°Not good¡­ two overwhelming prodigies!¡±


    Mo Tianyi and the yellowed faced man exclaimed.


    No wonder the calm Zhao Feng would have such a solemn expression.


    Run!


    Mo Tianyi and company instinctively thought.


    Just one overwhelming prodigy was terrifying enough and now there was two?


    ¡°You two retreat and protect Yufei.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he took a deep breath.


    Under normal situations he would run without thinking if two overwhelming prodigies came but Zhao Yufei had reached the critical point of breaking through to the True Mystic Rank right now so Zhao Feng decided to try hold them back.


    If he really couldn¡¯t hold them back then Zhao Yufei would have to give up the chance to reach the True Mystic Rank. She had at least formed the root of law so breaking through was just a matter of time.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng wanted to test out his strength.


    ¡°You be careful. If you really can¡¯t do it then we¡¯ll have to let Sister Yufei give up this chance.¡±


    Mo Tianyi looked deeply towards Zhao Feng before retreating with the yellow faced man.


    If it was him in Zhao Feng¡¯s place, he would run if facing two overwhelming prodigies.


    Zhao Feng floated in the air above the river with a solemn expression and his eyes became colder.


    Qiu!


    His figure flashed and became an arc of lightning that closed in on the position of the two overwhelming prodigies.


    The reason Zhao Feng did this was because he didn¡¯t want to waves of the battle to hit where Zhao Yufei was in seclusion.


    In the forest on a branch.


    ¡°That brat seems to have found us.¡±


    A bronze giant said in a low tone.


    When he spoke the ground seemed to tremble and the branches nearby cracked, as if it was going to break at every moment.


    ¡°Shi Chengtian, as long as you work with me, even if Yu Tianhao comes he¡¯ll lose.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei revealed a cold smile.


    According to the original plan Goddess Bing Wei first went to find Taiyun Shuangzi but he was too disdainful to do so and almost started to fight.


    Hence she had to find Shi Chengtian. At the beginning Shi Chengtian wasn¡¯t willing and felt that he lost face by teaming up with another overwhelming prodigy to fight a black horse.


    Goddess Bing Wei persuaded him to the point where her lips almost cracked and promised to give all of Zhao Feng¡¯s dragon blessing to him.


    Shi Chengtian finally agreed.


    After all, anyone that stole Zhao Feng¡¯s dragon blessing had the chance to become first.


    Therefore.


    The current scene of Goddess Bing Wei and Shi Chengtian teaming up and approaching Zhao Feng appeared.


    According to the plan the two would unleash lightning quick attacks when they got close and kill Zhao Feng.


    However, before they even got found they were found by Zhao Feng.


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s face went slightly red. If others found that two overwhelming prodigies had teamed up and tried to ambush a newbie, where would their face go?


    Right at this moment a laughter sounded: ¡°Good, good good¡­. Two overwhelming prodigies¡­. Both of you come at once!¡±


    The laughter resounded across dozens of miles.


    What an arrogant brat!


    The two overwhelming prodigies all paused. Apart from Yu Tianhao no one else had the records of beating two.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s tone was looking down at them.


    The thing was that Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was very loud that many geniuses within dozens of miles heard this and came over.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s very cunning.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei seemed to realise something and indeed, Shi Chengtian¡¯s face went red as he roared: ¡°I, Shi Chengtian, alone is enough to take care of you!¡±


    He had no problems with Zhao Feng and couldn¡¯t pull down his face to team up to fight a black horse, even if it was the number one black horse.


    ¡°Don¡¯t fall for it!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei panicked.


    ¡°Goddess Bing Wei, relax, my bloodline and skills can definitely counter him. You don¡¯t interfere. All you need to do is stop him from escaping.¡±


    Shi Chengtian said in a low tone and warned Goddess Bing Wei not to interfere.


    Even if he knew Zhao Feng¡¯s plan Shi Chengtian had to agree in front of everyone.


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s plan to stall time for Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei nodded her head helplessly.


    Thinking about it Shi Chengtian¡¯s skill shouldn¡¯t be countered by Zhao Feng and would probably win.


    The worst result was the two of them both being severely injured and Goddess Bing Wei in this scenario could deal with both of them.


    In the air.


    Shi Chengtian was like a mini giant with a body of metal. He was more than a half times taller than normal people.


    Wherever he went the surrounding area would become pressure.


    Dong! Dong!


    Each of his steps was like a mountain. Even though they were far away Zhao Feng fet his blood, bones and Qi of True Spirit become slightly restricted.


    ¡°Shi Chengtian is the only body practitioner of the overwhelming prodigies and in terms of flesh alone he can suppress those at the late stage of the True Mystic Rank.


    He also has the rare Heart Stone bloodline with super strong defense.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    He had watched every overwhelming prodigies¡¯ fightining style in the first round and Shi Chengtian¡¯s power and body was definitely top amongst those in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering .


    The invisible heavy aura came from Shi Chengtian¡¯s body.


    Of course, when one¡¯s body was trained to a degree they could release a powerful aura that could crush the opponent.


    Opponents under the True Mystic Rank probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to move in front of Shi Chengtian and might even cough out blood.


    As Zhao Feng and Shi Chengtian both came closer to one another.


    Ten miles¡­ nine miles¡­. Seven miles¡­.


    The distance between the two closed in.


    When there was three miles left.


    Shi Chengtian stepped heavily on the ground and with a ¡®boom¡¯ left a massive hole in the ground.


    Like a stone cannon, he charged towards Zhao Feng.


    Hu----


    A mountainous aura came from the surroundings and even a hall made of stones would shatter.


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s sudden explosiveness in speed had reached a shocking step close to the limit of the True Mystic Rank.


    Shi Chengtian unleashed an attack when he was one mile away.


    Roar!


    The bronze skinned giant sent out a soul shaking roar that sent terrifying waves in every direction.


    Booom!


    The trees below fell down and Zhao Feng circulated his Qi of True Spirit to protect his vitals but even then he was forced back by a powerful gust of wind and his eardrums hurt, almost vomitting blood.


    That one roar alone was able to make most geniuses surrender.


    Lightning Strike!


    Zhao Feng coldly swiped his hand and the Lightning Yuan Qi in the sky started to move.


    Bam!


    An arc of lightning an arm wide with a faint purple struck Shi Chengtian.


    Everything within a dozen yards radius started to burn.


    The ¡®Lightning Strike¡¯ was an attack comprehended after merging the insights from his Lightning Inheritance and Lightning Mystone stone.


    This lightning strike gained power from the sky and required a high level of root of law as well as high comprehension in the laws of lightning.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s strength increasing so quickly.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei was surprised by what she saw.


    The damage and destruction from the lightning just then was at the quasi overwhelming prodigy level and Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t used any bloodline power or God¡¯s Spiritual Eye just then.


    Of course.


    Goddess Bing Wei didn¡¯t worry. Shi Chengtian¡¯s defense was the same as hers; extremely powerful and stronger than the other prodigies.


    Boom-----


    Lightning crackled but Shi Chengtian¡¯s figure remained still.


    A dark yellow hard shell appeared on his skin and a tiny scorch mark was left. The layer of yellow shell then started to heal.


    ¡°What terrifying defense. This Shi Chengtian has the body of the Earth and doesn¡¯t even need to work hard to comprehend his root of law.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng had expected this he was still surprised.


    The move just then was a tester but its power wasn¡¯t to be underestimated. Geniuses such as Mo Tianyi at the first tier would find it troublesome to defend against, and now it was taken directly by the body.


    ¡°Hahaha, blue haired brat, your strength is just average. Looks like luck was on your side when drawing with Goddess Bing Wei.¡±


    Shi Chengtian howled and charged towards Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Bam! Boom!


    Wherever the bronze giant passed by the mountains and trees would shatter.


    In his sight Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was tiny and seemed to be unable to move or even resist due to the pressure.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flickered lightning and his blue hair blew in the wind. The azure lightning flower mark on his forehead flickered and he seemed like a Lord of the Wicked path.


    Shua!


    With a flash a blur of after images was left behind.


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s eyes became blurry as he lost track of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Peng!¡±


    A foot wrapped in lightning suddenly smashed towards his rude mouth.

 369 Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!

    Peng!


    In a flash of lightning an agile figure had appeared next to Shi Chengtian¡¯s head and a foot of lightning smashed into Shi Chengtian¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°Wu¡­.¡±


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s figure and speaking stopped. His expression was as if he had eaten a pile of shit and choked on it.


    Some of the spectating geniuses were dazed and shocked and Goddess Bing Wei was also stunned.


    Time seemed to be frozen at that moment.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s foot not only hit Shi Chengtian¡¯s mouth, it had even squeezed into his mouth.


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s mouth became instantly scorched and this overwhelming prodigy paid the price for underestimating his enemy.


    However, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t as advantaged as others thought.


    ¡°What a powerful body.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s foot seemed to hit a mountain and went numb.


    Shi Chengtian finally reacted and roared, making the ground tremble then sent fists towards Zhao Feng, simple and straight forwards, yet powerful.


    Before the fists arrived the gust of wind with it could already make normal True Mystic Rank¡¯s vomit blood.


    Once directly hit by the fists the outcome was unthinkable.


    Shua!


    A shadow flashed, and Zhao Feng appeared dozens of yards away from Shi Chengtian.


    In terms of speed and movement Zhao Feng surpassed Shi Chengtian.


    Of the five overwhelming prodigies, Shi Chengtian¡¯s body and defence was the strongest but his speed was just average.


    Ice Lightning Mystic Flower!


    Zhao Feng raised his palm and merged his bloodline into his Qi of True Spirit, sending auras of ice and lightning over Shi Chengtian.


    Bam!


    A large flower of ice and lightning blossomed then exploded.


    After reaching the True Mystic Rank Zhao Feng¡¯s merging of ice and lightning became more perfect and its power greatly increased.


    Over the past few days Zhao Feng had absorbed the energy within the Lightning Mystic Stone and comprehended the natural laws of lightning. This made Zhao Feng¡¯s control of lightning reach a new level.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Inheritance had almost touched the highest third floor and had started to exceed the original inheritance as it had merged insights gained from the Lightning Mystic Stone and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    ¡°This palm should be able to threaten the overwhelming prodigies now.¡±


    Zhao Feng squinted his eyes and in a flash appeared above Shi Chengtian.


    After the dust settled Shi Chengtian¡¯s ¡®shell¡¯ was still unharmed.


    Si!


    Zhao Feng took in a cold breath. He found that Shi Chengtian¡¯s skin had almost turned into stone and was almost not made of flesh and blood anymore.


    The stone skin had a strong resistance against ice and lightning.


    ¡°It¡¯s useless. Shi Chengtian¡¯s defence is unparalleled under the True Lord Rank. Only eroding bloodlines or wood elemental skills can threaten him.


    Goddess Bing Wei wasn¡¯t surprised by this scene.


    Of the five prodigies, only Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body¡¯s defence could be compared to Shi Chengtian but in terms of power, she was far off.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks were mainly lightning or ice based and the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible was biased towards the wind element.


    However, both lightning and ice were countered by Shi Chengtian¡¯s earth element.


    Zhao Feng obviously didn¡¯t specialise in the wood element or eroding poison skills.


    ¡°Blue haired brat, you will pay for your ignorance.¡±


    Shi Chengtian roared and lifted his arms into the air as a layer of brown yellow light appeared then faded.


    Not good!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye sensed something and in the next instant, his body started to fall.


    The entire area was affected by a pulling force that dragged Zhao Feng down.


    In terms of speed and movement Zhao Feng had merged the lightning inheritance and the agility of the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible. He obviously surpassed Shi Chengtian in speed but if his body was a hundred thousand pounds heavier, no matter how fast one was, their speed would decrease.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body fell onto the ground and his flesh and bones were under an intense pressure.


    Every step needed to use energy several times more than before.


    ¡°Hmph, this is Shi Chengtian¡¯s bloodline talent ¡®Gravity Domain¡¯. Although Shi Chengtian isn¡¯t fast his bloodline talent can decrease the speed of others.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei snickered coldly.


    This was why if she teamed up with Shi Chengtian even Yu Tianhao would probably lose.


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s ¡®Gravity Domain¡¯ and her ¡®power of Ice¡¯ can even seal a normal True Lord Rank to death.


    Stone shattering the mountains fist!!


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s fist started to glow yellow and the air and earth started to vibrate. The first seemed to be pushing a large mountain with it.


    Under the Gravity Domain Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was decreased by 60-70%and much slower than Shi Chengtian whereas the latter was like a fish in the water.


    Boom-----


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s terrifying fist locked onto Zhao Feng so that the latter couldn¡¯t dodge it.


    Zhao Feng felt a surge of danger and summoned his Three Flowered Treasured Bible, Throne of ice behind him as the ancient figure gave power to him.


    Ice Lightning Pierce!


    Zhao Feng thrust his palm out and the power of ice and lightning exploded.


    This palm focused more on freezing and the surroundings became covered in a veil of ice.


    Shi Chengtian was affected and the closer he got to Zhao Feng, the slower his speed was.


    ¡°He¡¯s obviously stolen this from the Mystic Ice Inheritance.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei gritted her teeth as she watched.


    Her skills focused on decreasing speed, freezing and sealing. When her opponents truly came close they would become an ice statue but was countered by Zhao Feng.


    And now Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®Ice Lightning Pierce¡¯ had stolen insights from Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s skills and used it onto his bloodline power.


    Beng-----


    Shi Chengtian finally arrived close to Zhao Feng and the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus took a direct hit.


    The petals of the Three Flowered Treasured Bible instantly shattered layer by layer and its light faded by over half.


    Under the push of the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus, Zhao Feng could retreat dozens of yards and with the flap of the Yin Shadow Cloak, disappeared.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Shi Chengtian who had the advantage realised that Zhao Feng had become invisible, so he started to survey around quietly.


    He was confident that in the Gravity Domain Zhao Feng¡¯s speed would be greatly decreased and would have no advantage over him.


    At this moment.


    Shi Chengtian let out a breath as he successfully suppressed Zhao Feng.


    He didn¡¯t think that the number one black horse was so troublesome before.


    Shua!


    A faint shadow appeared out of nowhere and revealed Zhao Feng¡¯s figure.


    ¡°This Shi Chengtian actually counters me¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was decreased when facing Shi Chengtian. In reality, any genius that specialised in speed would be at a disadvantage against him.


    At this point in time Zhao Feng had escaped out of the Gravity Doman¡¯s range.


    The Gravity Domain¡¯s range was only about a hundred yards.


    ¡°Looks like close combat is a definite no¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye spun as he planned again.


    Once he got close his speed would be countered.


    ¡°Strong defence, strong close combat, average speed, clumsy¡­¡­¡±


    A wicked smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    A crystal-like bow appeared in his hand and three silver arrows were attached to it.


    Long range item!


    Shi Chengtian saw Zhao Feng¡¯s weapon and his expression changed slightly.


    Shi Chengtian obviously knew his weaknesses. He wasn¡¯t good at long range combat or combat in the air.


    Zhao Feng soon found his opponents weakness.


    Roar!!


    Shi Chengtian roared and charged towards Zhao Feng with a gust of wind.


    Being one of the overwhelming prodigies Shi Chengtian¡¯s speed wasn¡¯t slow. It was a bit faster than normal late stage True Mystic Ranks.


    His explosiveness was also shocking as he chased after Zhao Feng.


    Eye of Ice Soul!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye became a freezing abyss that sent a coldness to the mental energy dimension.


    Shi Chengtian only felt his heart go cold and his charge slow down.


    A chilling coldness started to freeze his consciousness and ignored his physical defence.


    Mental energy attacks disregarded physical attacks.


    Even if Shi Chengtian¡¯s physical defence was ten times stronger facing the Eye of Ice Soul, it wouldn¡¯t help at all. It would only be effective against the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye.


    Shhiick!


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s speed dropped by over half and his actions were stiff.


    He was a body cultivator meaning that his Source of mental energy wasn¡¯t strong and clumsier against the Eye of Ice Soul.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a smug expression from far away.


    Although the Eye of Ice Soul wasn¡¯t effective against Goddess Bing Wei, it¡¯s effect was obvious on Shi Chengtian.


    ¡°Kid¡­. you¡­.¡±


    Shi Chengtian hiccupped and roared but his expressions were slightly frozen.


    His body was hot, but that coldness seemed to envelope his body and even his thoughts almost froze.


    Beng~~ Sou! Sou!


    Zhao Feng slowly released his bow and the Luohou Bow sent arrows after another onto Shi Chengtian and exploded.


    Shi Chengtian howled but the distance between him and Zhao Feng seemed to be distanced by a mountain of ice.


    Crack! Peng! Peng!


    The power of ice and lightning started to explode and freeze on Shi Chengtian¡¯s body.


    Unfortunately, the power of ice could slow down one¡¯s speed and the power of lightning could numb the opponent.


    With every arrow Shi Chengtian¡¯s body would obviously freeze and combined with the Eye of Ice Soul, it¡¯s effect was doubled.


    ¡°The Eye of Ice Soul isn¡¯t very powerful instantaneously but can be used for a long time.¡±


    Zhao Feng kept his Eye of Ice Soul trained on Shi Chengtian.


    The Eye of Ice Soul was a mental energy attack and with his large source of mental energy, he could continue it for a very long time.


    Ten breaths later.


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s body was frozen in ice and wisps of smoke came from his head. Every step came with a pause.


    Through the Eye of Ice Soul and Luohou Bow Zhao Feng successfully controlled the situation.


    His attacks were ¡®shameless¡¯ and kept on hitting on a joint on Shi Chengtian¡¯s legs.


    No matter how strong one¡¯s defence was, if that ¡®point¡¯ was continuously attacked, a gap would appear.


    ¡°How could this be¡­.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s face lost all colour as she looked in disbelief.


    Of the five overwhelming prodigies apart from Yu Tianhao, she couldn¡¯t think of anyone that could force Shi Chengtian to this degree.

 370 New Overwhelming Prodigy

    This was a battle belonging to the ¡®overwhelming prodigies¡¯ and there were many spectators.


    Within the bubble of light, the geniuses watching nearby started to gather from a dozen to several dozens.


    On a lone mountain in the North-West direction.


    A savage two headed four-armed savage watched the battle from afar.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­. Let¡¯s wait until they both get injured then rush over and kill them all.¡±


    The two heads of the Taiyun Shuangzi laughed.


    ¡°That bitch Goddess Bing Wei wanted us to be her lackeys, zhe zhe, we¡¯re not that easy to trick. No one can order us around.¡±


    The elder Taiyun Shuangzi smiled wickedly.


    Taiyun Shuangzi hadn¡¯t agreed working together with Goddess Bing Wei but was watching in secret.


    The situation went well, Goddess Bing Wei and company indeed went to fight.


    The ¡®prey¡¯ in the overwhelming prodigy¡¯s eyes was stronger than imagined and suppressed the overwhelming prodigy.


    ¡°Eh, the stone man¡¯s been fully suppressed.¡±


    ¡°Stone man can¡¯t fight back at all.¡±


    Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s faces were surprised and looked at the battlefield with disbelief.


    Near the river.


    Zhao Feng fired his Eye of Ice Soul and froze Shi Chengtian¡¯s consciousness as he ran around the borders.


    Beng~~ Sou! Sou!


    The Luohou Bow¡¯s every attack made Shi Chengtian tremble in coldness.


    Roar!


    Shi Chengtian roared towards the sky but couldn¡¯t change the fact he was slowing down.


    He was strong but couldn¡¯t get close to his opponent. How sad was this?


    Although his defence was strong Zhao Feng¡¯s Luohou Bow had aimed towards his kneecaps and kept on bombarding there, adding injury on top of injury.


    As time passed Shi Chengtian¡¯s mind was getting injured.


    If he didn¡¯t have a soul protection item on him, the injury on his mind would be several times worse.


    It was obvious that before the Sacred True Dragon Gathering Shi Chengtian¡¯s elders had given him a soul protection item to compensate for his weakness in mental energy.


    Ancient arena.


    The spectating stand and stage including the Sovereigns were watching this battle.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng!¡±


    The juniors screamed in admiration.


    ¡°Unbelievable, his speed is enough to become a new overwhelming prodigy.¡±


    ¡°Before when he fought the Goddess Bing Wei he only barely drew but now is beating Shi Chengtian without effort.¡±


    Over ninety nine percent of the spectators were watching this battle.


    Ever since the start of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, a new genius had succeeded in becoming an overwhelming prodigy.


    ¡°Brother Zhao¡­¡­ you¡¯ve already reached this step. I¡¯ll tell this news back to the Thirteen Countries and tell Master in the Broken Moon Clan.¡±


    Yang Gan was filled with tears as his body trembled in excitement.


    At this moment he had almost turned crazy from happiness.


    ¡°The Broken Moon Clan produced such a genius. I believe Brother Zhao will be able to change the Cloud area¡¯s situation when he returns back to the Thirteen Countries.¡±


    Yang Gan was overjoyed and expectant.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s current growth rate, he¡¯ll definitely be able to increase more in the inheritances after the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    On the stage.


    The nine sovereigns quietly watched Zhao Feng and Shi Chengtian¡¯s battle.


    ¡°Zhao Feng has indeed reached the overwhelming prodigy level. This is the Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s sixth overwhelming prodigy. Would there be the seventh or even more?¡±


    The bronze skinned Deputy Palace Lord said in a low tone with expectation in his eyes.


    No one questioned Zhao Feng¡¯s strength any further and his status of ¡®overwhelming prodigy¡¯.


    With seventeen years of time he had become an overwhelming prodigy and in this generation only Yu Tianhao and a couple others could be compared.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s strength isn¡¯t much different from Shi Chengtian¡¯s but can always find the opponent¡¯s flaws.¡±


    The Mystic Sword Sovereign sighed.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. There¡¯s no such thing as perfection in this world and Zhao Feng can always find every flaw. This is his winning card.¡±


    The Green Moon Sovereign nodded her head. She had paid a lot of attention on Zhao Feng and at the beginning it was due to the little thieving cat.


    ¡°But¡­ if this continues, Shi Chengtian¡¯s leg might be crippled.¡±


    A Sovereign¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    Every overwhelming prodigy was the continents chosen ones. They could be said to be future Sovereigns that decided the fate of the continent.


    If they could do anything the Sacred Alliance wouldn¡¯t let any prodigy be injured, even if it was just a slight one.


    Within the bubble.


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s kneecap had withstood the Luohou Bow¡¯s attacks for a while now and when he walked, he walked with a stutter.


    ¡°Dozens of arrows¡­. Every single one containing the power of ice and lightning and threaten overwhelming prodigies, but it only brought him this much damage.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised as he released his bow.


    Even a True Lord Rank would be injured if not dead under these attacks.


    Of course.


    In the dozens of breaths this victor was decided.


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s mind was injured and reactions were slow. His knee injury slowed down his movement speed.


    Zhao Feng could destroy Shi Chengtian even in close combat now.


    ¡°Shameless bastard¡­ don¡¯t get arrogant.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei reacted and charged from afar.


    At this time, she couldn¡¯t care any less about the promise with Shi Chengtian.


    ¡°Too late.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and put away the Luohou Bow as a flash of azure lightning flame glowed in his eyes.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye first locked onto Shi Chengtian¡¯s body.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    ¡°Make him stop!¡±


    The expressions of the Sovereigns all changed dramatically.


    Before this Zhao Feng¡¯s ice and lightning eroded Shi Chengtian¡¯s body continuously and Shi Chengtian¡¯s skin became stiff and crisp.


    Once the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye landed on Shi Chengtian, the sudden change in heat would bring great danger to both his body and mind.


    However.


    Even if they knew this the Sovereigns could do nothing.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering was now out of control and everything was directed by the ancient arena.


    At this instance Shi Chengtian also felt a critical danger appear in his heart.


    He did all he could and put his hands over his head then kneeled onto the ground. This way he could dodge the attack and reduce the damage.


    Boom!


    A lightning flame landed on Goddess Bing Wei instead.


    ¡°Si! You¡­.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei was stunned as the lightning fire exploded and set her on fire. The transparent lightning and fire quickly eroded her mental energy level and started to burn.


    It was obvious that the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye countered Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s ice skills to a certain degree and its effect was obvious.


    Compared to his Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye in the first round, it had reached an entire new world.


    Over the past few days Zhao Feng had absorbed the even purer Lightning Yuan Qi and purposely refined his True Spirit Lightning Flame.


    This sudden attack caught Goddess Bing Wei off guard and her mind was instantly lightly injured as her snow-white skin scorched.


    Hu~


    On the other side Shi Chengtian held his head with his hands but let out a long breath when he realised the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye didn¡¯t land on him.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline skill was extremely fast and definitely could¡¯ve attacked before he covered his head and kneeled to the ground.


    If Zhao Feng was cruel that Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye could have crippled Shi Chengtian¡¯s kneecap.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t he attack me?¡±


    Shi Chengtian felt as if he had just lived again.


    At this time, he found that Goddess Bing Wei had been ambushed by the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye and was slightly scorched.


    The place was in chaos near the river.


    The two overwhelming prodigies Shi Chengtian and Goddess Bing Wei were on the ground and in the air respectively but each of them seemed ruffled.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s snow-white skin was scorched, and her hair smoked. She didn¡¯t seem like a ¡®Goddess¡¯ anymore.


    Shi Chengtian had put his hands over his head and kneeled on the ground. One of his knees was almost crippled and his actions were slow and stiff.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­.¡±


    Laughter sounded from across the spectating stand.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is far smarter than imagined.¡±


    The Sovereigns all let out a breath.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t finish off Shi Chengtian and instead used the method of ¡®shocking.¡¯ Forcing back two overwhelming prodigies was more effective and stunning than beating just one.


    Of course, more people were shocked at Zhao Feng¡¯s unbelievable control.


    Waves roared in the hearts of the watching geniuses.


    What kind of scene was this?


    Zhao Feng in their eyes had his hands behind his back and his blue hair blew in the wind. An azure lightning mystic flower mark on his forehead glowed and his eyes were sharp as he looked at the two rumpled overwhelming prodigies.


    This wicked youth seemed to be a Lord of the Wicked path that dominated the situation.


    Defeating one overwhelming prodigy and forcing back another,


    What kind of methods were these>


    The geniuses within and outside the bubble as well as the experts from around the continent held their breaths.


    Many people were thinking what kind of era was this?


    First there was Yu Tianhao and the other five overwhelming prodigies and now there was this monster.


    In a short amount of time both Shi Chengtian and Goddess Bing Wei didn¡¯t move.


    Goddess Bing Wei had been injured by the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye and her mind was slightly injured. She saw that Shi Chengtian was extremely injured and hesitated.


    At this moment in time.


    Zhao Feng had the charm of facing two overwhelming prodigies with confidence.


    ¡°Shameless bastard¡­.¡±


    Cold killing intent filled with hatred flashed in Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes.


    Ever since she had reached the level of an overwhelming prodigy, when had she lose so much face?


    She put out the Lightning Fire and tried to communicate with Shi Chengtian through Spiritual Sense.


    ¡°I¡¯ve lost.¡±


    Shi Chengtian smiled bitterly and didn¡¯t have the heart to fight anymore and was even slightly thankful that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t finish his leg off.


    The retreat of Shi Chengtian left only Goddess Bing Wei behind and as she looked at Zhao Feng, a coldness radiated from he

 371 The Goddess’ Hug

    Above the area close to the river.


    Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei met once again while the icy winds howled and lightning flashed.


    ¡°This bastard made it so that my little sister couldn¡¯t participate in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and stole skills from our Mystic Ice Inheritance, rising step by step¡­.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes flashed with a coldness and her chest heaved with hatred.


    Weng~~


    Her skin lit up as her Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body was activated and a powerful aura of ice enveloped a radius of a hundred yards.


    The coldness chilled straight to the bone and even had an effect like Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Ice Soul.


    ¡°Activating her bloodline power further and increasing her defence and recovery speed while also forming a domain of ice¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped as he realised that Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s strength was hidden deeper than what he thought.


    In just a couple breaths time Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s skin was now perfect like snow, soft and smooth.


    The only thing she couldn¡¯t instantly heal was the injury in her mind.


    ¡°This is the power of domain. Using her Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body and bloodline to freeze everything within a certain radius. Even if an overwhelming prodigy entered their speed would decrease significantly.¡±


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s head popped out as he watched the battle from afar.


    He was stunned when he saw Zhao Feng beat Shi Chengtian and wasn¡¯t worried for Zhao Feng fighting against Goddess Bing Wei.


    After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline countered Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s and her Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye was also deadly towards her.


    ¡°If this domain of ice was used together with Shi Chengtian¡¯s Gravity domain, its effect would double.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind turned and instantly understood Goddess Bing Wei and Shi Chengtian¡¯s original plan.


    Once the Domain of Ice and Gravity Domain was used together even those at the True Lord Rank would be restricted. Across the Sacred True Dragon Gathering probably no one could break it.


    Extreme Northern Mystic Ice Wind!


    Goddess Bing Wei fired a chaotic howling gust of wind that froze everything in its path and Zhao Feng¡¯s blood and Qi of True Spirit started to freeze.


    If it weren¡¯t for his bloodline power, Goddess Bing Wei would definitely be a troublesome opponent.


    Weng~~


    A magnificent figure rose behind Zhao Feng and sat on a throne.


    When Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s ice attacks came close a part of it was absorbed.


    Zhao Feng was protected from the ice and had a high resilience from it.


    ¡°Mystic Ice Demon Suppressing Mountain!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei shouted as her jade hands summoned several ice mountains crushing down towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°What¡¯s this Goddess Bing Wei planning?¡±


    Zhao Feng was suspicious.


    He lifted his hands and two Sources of True Spirit surged from him which shattered the ice mountains.


    Compared with before Zhao Feng had a far easier time than before when fighting Goddess Bing Wei.


    Hu! Shua!


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes flashed as she closed in and her domain of ice enveloped Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng seemed to fall into countless ice but the figure and throne behind him continuously absorbed the ice.


    ¡°The domain of ice is indeed strong but has a much weaker effect to me.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    The domain of ice used extreme coldness to freeze everything around it but for Zhao Feng, it¡¯s effect was at least 70% less. Goddess Bing Wei was just wasting her energy.


    However, Zhao Feng soon felt that something was wrong.


    Goddess Bing Wei kept on coming closer and the domain of ice became stronger since Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body was its core.


    Yet Zhao Feng didn¡¯t fear Goddess Bing Wei in close combat.


    Peng! Boom!


    The power of ice and lightning blossomed as the two clashed time after time.


    Zhao Feng became more courageous as time passed and his Qi of True Spirit flowed more smoothly.


    Goddess Bing Wei didn¡¯t have any advantage in close combat.


    Zhao Feng did indeed have the strength of an overwhelming prodigy and his bloodline was her nemesis. He didn¡¯t fear her in both close or long-range combat.


    Of course, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline also couldn¡¯t deal with Goddess Bing Wei.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body¡¯s defence was extremely strong and could almost fully block any normal attack.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Zhao Feng fired an eye bloodline skill onto Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s body but under the domain of ice the damage from the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye was weakened by quite a bit.


    Furthermore, Goddess Bing Wei was watching out for it and not caught off guard.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye only injured Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s mind a little bit.


    Goddess Bing Wei hmphed and gritted her teeth as she took this hit directly.


    ¡°There¡¯s definitely a trick.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he found Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s kept on fighting close range.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was indeed decreased by Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s domain of ice but her close combat skills was just average. She wasn¡¯t as powerful as Shi Chengtian and not as agile and he.


    Zhao Feng soon found a flaw in Goddess Bing Wei.


    Ice Lightning Mystic Flower!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as his power of ice and lightning thrust towards Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s chest which had no protection there.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s expression changed as she tried to dodge.


    Bam!


    It was too late and Zhao Feng¡¯s palm had reached her chest.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a softness on his palm.


    Ah!


    His face instantly went slightly red and was dumbfounded.


    In terms of pure defence Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body was the same as Shi Chengtian¡¯s and had high resilience towards ice.


    Therefore, this palm barely injured Goddess Bing Wei.


    ¡°Damn it¡­. I got tricked!¡±


    Zhao Feng realised that Goddess Bing Wei had purposely left this flaw for him and as he thought, he saw Goddess Bing Wei reveal a smug smile.


    Just as he tried to retreat Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s domain of ice reached its peak and the critical coldness almost froze Zhao Feng¡¯s blood as he slowed down.


    Furthermore.


    Goddess Bing Wei also reached out her arms and ¡®hugged¡¯ Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    Surprised shouts came from everywhere.


    The nearby spectators had gaping mouths and the mouths of the experts in the ancient arena almost fell to the ground.


    That¡¯s right!


    Goddess Bing Wei had hugged Zhao Feng and in a very tight manner.


    If it was in another place they would have been thought of as a couple.


    ¡°Hehe, Zhao Feng¡¯s underestimated her.¡±


    A smile appeared on the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s face.


    Zhao Feng stood still as he was tightly hugged by Goddess Bing Wei and a terrifying coldness spread out throughout his body.


    Being hugged by such a beauty was supposed to be great but for Zhao Feng, he had half stepped into being doomed.


    Limitless coldness locked Zhao Feng¡¯s body and in the blink of an eye a layer of ice had spread across his body and was trying to go a step further and freeze his Qi of True Spirit and bloodline power.


    ¡°How shameless is this Goddess Bing Wei to use her breasts to lure me in and freeze me.¡±


    Zhao Feng hiccupped as he froze.


    Just like this he and Goddess Bing Wei ¡®hugged¡¯. It was at first warm but then came then infinite coldness.


    The two were right next to each other.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth almost kissed Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s face and the latter was like a Goddess of Ice as her mouth curled up in killing intent.


    Apart from his bloodline power, Zhao Feng¡¯s mastery and insights into ice was more than level off than Goddess Bing Wei.


    With such a small distance between them, Zhao Feng¡¯s advantage in speed was useless.


    It wasn¡¯t as if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to resist.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s cultivation was higher than him by two small levels and had a purer and denser Qi of True Spirit. She also had a bloodline power and her Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body¡¯s attribute surpassed him.


    In terms of coldness, Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s domain also suppressed Zhao Feng.


    Therefore, being tightly hugged and frozen, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t struggle at all.


    Si! Si!


    With the naked eye one, could see the area surrounding the two was being turned into ice.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body was fully sealed in ice and Goddess Bing Wei wasn¡¯t affected much.


    In just a couple breaths, everything within a hundred yards radius was sealed in ice and even those at the True Mystic Rank found it hard to come close.


    In the centre of the world of ice the ice sculpture of a man and woman tightly hugged each like a couple.


    Mo Tianyi was stunned and Shi Chengtian was dazed as he felt a coldness extend over.


    What¡­. What was this???


    The mouths of the watching geniuses could fit an apple.


    ¡°What the fuck? How did these two both become sealed in ice!¡±


    ¡°I knew this bitch wouldn¡¯t have any good will.¡±


    Taiyun Shuangzi watched the man and woman sealed in ice with shock.


    At the same time.


    From the East side near the river the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi started to move around.


    Huang----


    The air and earth seemed to tremble and multicoloured lights made the nearby river create waves.


    ¡°Sister Yufei¡¯s broken through.¡±


    Mo Tianyi exclaimed and a powerful True Mystic Rank appeared.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi seemed to beckon to its call and created a stunning scene.


    ¡°Summoning the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, this can only be done by those at the True Lord Rank, how is this possible¡­.¡±


    The experts watching in the ancient arena exclaimed.


    When Zhao Yufei broke through the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi created flowers, as if saying that she was the chosen one of the Heavens.


    ¡°What kind of bloodline does she have to have the momentum of a True Lord Rank when just reaching the True Mystic Rank?¡±


    The nine Sovereigns were all surprised. This scene had only appeared in a few legends such as the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch, Sword Saint Ye Wuxie and Yu Tianhao.


    At this instance.


    Weng~


    Another powerful inheritance shadowing appeared in the clouds above the ancient arena.

 372 The Dao Sovereign’s Secre

    The second Zhao Yufei reached the True Mystic Rank a new inheritance shadowing appeared above the ancient arena.


    That inheritance shadowing was enormous, and a chilling cold aura knocked aside the nearby inheritance shadowings.


    Everyone turned and inspected it. They saw a palace made of ice and snow.


    ¡°Mystic Ice Inheritance!¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen exclaimed as she looked at the inheritance shadowing with joy and surprise.


    The Mystic Ice Palace had one of the Mystic Ice Inheritance entrances and therefore knew a lot about this inheritance.


    However, being one of the Four Great Inheritances, it wouldn¡¯t be so easily controlled by just one force.


    The Mystic Ice Palace only controlled a part of the Mystic Ice Inheritance.


    Only in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering would the main Mystic Ice Inheritance connect with the ancient arena.


    ¡°One of the Four Great Inheritances, the Mystic Ice Inheritance.¡¯


    ¡°Ha-ha, those cultivating in the Dao of Ice are lucky.¡±


    The spectators discussed.


    Being one of the Four Great Inheritances, the Mystic Ice Inheritance rarely appeared once every thousand years and when it did appear, forgotten Ice elemental skills, treasured and resources would be found and those cultivating in the Dao of Ice would rise.


    It could be said that any one of the Four Great Inheritances would affect the continents destiny.


    Amongst these the Heavens Legacy was the most ancient and mysterious. It¡¯s every appearance would have an enormous effect on the world.


    ¡°This is the second of the Four Great Inheritances. Unfortunately, the Scarlet Moon Inheritance was taken by the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch.¡±


    Sovereign Yu Tianhao sighed.


    ¡°Every appearance of an inheritance isn¡¯t about luck. The requirements must be fulfilled.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant¡¯s gaze turned towards the bubble of light. More precisely, towards Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei.


    ¡°It¡¯s most likely Goddess Bing Wei. Her powerful bloodline and ice elemental techniques must have attracted the Mystic Ice Inheritance. Plus, this generations Sacred True Dragon Gathering is extremely powerful.¡±


    ¡°It might be connected to Zhao Feng as well. His bloodline power is also of the ice element and is a very pure ancient bloodline¡±


    Several Sovereigns nodded their head in agreement.


    The appearance of the Mystic Ice Inheritance was great, and the Sacred Alliance was overjoyed and was even more expectant.


    After all, the Sacred True Dragon Gathering hadn¡¯t reached the last stages yet.


    Of the nine Sovereigns, only a white robed elder was silent.


    He hurriedly glanced towards the Mystic Ice Inheritance then put all his attention on Zhao Yufei breaking through.


    ¡°The Ten Thousand Ancient Races have the strongest bloodlines in the universe and the appearance of any one of them has greater importance than the Four Great Inheritances.¡±


    The white robed elder didn¡¯t move.


    In his eyes, Zhao Yufei reaching the True Mystic Rank was more important than the inheritances.


    This white robed elder was Zhao Yufei¡¯s Master, one of the Grand Elders of the Heavenly Yuan Clan and a Sacred Alliance member.


    He didn¡¯t speak much in this Sacred True Dragon Gathering because he had a secret. A secret that apart from another Grand Elder, no third person knew.


    And at this moment Zhao Yufei reaching the True Mystic Rank might cause a scenery from her bloodline that other Sovereigns might detect.


    Once that secret was found, the white robed elder couldn¡¯t imagine the outcome. At least the Heavenly Yuan Clan wasn¡¯t enough.


    Therefore, the white robed elder was slightly uneasy but luckily the Mystic Ice Inheritance directed everyone¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Baiyun Dao Sovereign, that Zhao Yufei is your disciple. Her momentum in reaching the True Mystic Rank isn¡¯t small.¡±


    The Green Moon Sovereign faintly smiled as she noticed the white robed elder¡¯s tension.


    The white robed elder was Baiyun Dao Sovereign, one of the nine present.


    ¡°Hehe, so this is the disciple of Baiyun Dao Sovereign. Your disciple¡¯s bloodlines so powerful. Maybe she¡¯ll become another overwhelming prodigy and catch up to Sword Saint Ye Wuxie.¡±


    ¡°From how she reached the True Mystic Rank, her bloodline power has just been discovered and probably has the battle power close to an overwhelming prodigy.¡±


    The Sovereigns praised, and Baiyun Dao Sovereign pretended to be worried: ¡°Aye, my disciple¡¯s broken to the True Mystic Rank in too much of a rush. This will make her foundation unstable.¡±


    In reality, he clearly knew that Zhao Yufei¡¯s bloodline was extremely compatible with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and her foundation was solid.


    Within the bubble of light multi coloured clouds bloomed.


    In the cave.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s skin was as smooth as jade and even gave off a faint light, like a flower.


    Her face seemed pure and holy under the light and she was the centre of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi that beckoned to her call.


    She felt the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was like her mother and every action and breath of hers could summon Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. The compatibility rate was ten times more than normal True Mystic Ranks, on par with a True Lord Rank.


    In just a few moments.


    Her True Force cultivation had passed by the beginning stages of the True Mystic Rank and approached the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    After breaking through the True Mystic Rank barrier, she had stepped into a brand-new world.


    Luckily, she was in the cave and not many people could see her situation.


    Of course, those at the True Lord Rank and Sovereigns could see a little bit.


    ¡°This is an unparalleled bloodline. As long as her mental energy is enough she can break through.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant Deputy Palace Lord was slightly envious.


    This bloodline suddenly made him remember something.


    ¡°Could it be? No, that¡¯s way too unlikely¡­.¡±


    This thought was soon tossed out.


    The multi coloured clouds and flowers around the river started to fade and Zhao Yufei realised that if it weren¡¯t because her mental energy was enough she could instantly reach the early stage True Mystic Rank.


    If Zhao Feng this talent he could charge into the early stage or even late stages of the True Mystic Rank in one breath.


    However, there was no such thing as a perfect bloodline.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline focused on mental energy whereas Zhao Yufei was directly opposite. She was biased towards the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and it was her mental energy that couldn¡¯t catch up.


    Near the river.


    Zhao Feng was hugged by Goddess Bing Wei and continued to be sealed in ice.


    ¡°Bastard, I¡¯ll see how long you can last. My cultivation and mastery of ice both surpass yours¡­.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei tightly hugged Zhao Feng and the two maintained this position.


    ¡°Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s power of ice is still being released. This means that Zhao Feng¡¯s not fully sealed yet.¡±


    Mo Tianyi was worried but he didn¡¯t know what to do.


    Should he go rescue Zhao Feng? But Sister Yufei was also at the critical moment.


    ¡°Senior brother, according to the deal before we¡¯ll protect Zhao Feng when he¡¯s in seclusion. Now the deal is complete it doesn¡¯t matter whether we rescue him or not. Plus, we can¡¯t even get close to him due to the ice.¡±


    The yellow faced man shook his head and Mo Tianyi was helpless.


    Goddess Bing Wei had activated her bloodline and normal True Mystic Ranks might be also sealed in ice when close enough.


    At the centre of the ice it was so solid that even normal True Mystic Rank probably couldn¡¯t even shatter it.


    Under this situation Mo Tianyi and company decided to place Sister Yufei¡¯s safety as the number one priority.


    In the end, Zhao Feng was still an outsider.


    ¡°Want to ice seal me¡­ don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    Although Zhao Feng was frozen, his Qi of True Spirit never gave up.


    As long as his mental energy consciousness was still there he could control his bloodline and Qi of True Spirit.


    A part of the ice was absorbed by his bloodline.


    Plus.


    Zhao Feng had two Sources of True Spirit within his body, one belonging to himself and the other to the Water Moon pirate.


    In this situation Zhao Feng conserve his own Qi of True Spirit and burned the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit.


    In terms of strength the Water Moon pirate¡¯s Qi of True Spirit was stronger than Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Due to the burning of Qi of True Spirit, Zhao Feng¡¯s resistance rose.


    Of course, he could only burn a small amount at a time or else his body wouldn¡¯t be able to handle it and might explode.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s burning his Qi of True Spirit. Hmph, I¡¯ll wait till he¡¯s injured his foundation and falls back down to the True Human Rank.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei snickered coldly in her heart as at the edges of the zone of ice Shi Chengtian was healing himself.


    On top of a lone mountain.


    Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s cunning eyes kept track of the current situation.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­. Keep on fighting and hopefully you all become injured then we¡¯ll finish them all off.¡±


    The younger one of the Taiyun Shuangzi said smugly but the time Zhao Feng lasted against Goddess Bing Wei in the ice was longer than imagined.


    In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed and Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei still hadn¡¯t come to an end.


    ¡°She¡¯s indeed worthy of being an overwhelming prodigy that crushes several generations. Aye, it¡¯s all my fault for getting tricked by her before.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to burn all his Qi of True Spirit because his body was sealed in ice and could only work it down with Goddess Bing Wei.


    This meant it was a battle of endurance and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t worry about this. He was wanting to give up a part of the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit anyways, but could Goddess Bing Wei do that?


    ¡°Brother Mo, Sister Yufei¡¯s broken through. Should we ask her to come help?¡±


    The yellow faced man asked.


    No, she¡¯s just reached the True Mystic Rank and won¡¯t be of much help.¡±


    Mo Tianyi shook his head.


    At the same time.


    Within a calm cave in a bubble of light.


    ¡°You are Xin Wuheng?¡±


    The black-haired Yu Tianhao with eyes as large as the universe looked the normal man sitting on a stone opposite him.


    ¡°Why are you chasing me? I¡¯m not your match. You should know no one in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering is your match.¡±


    Xin Wuheng shook his head and sighed.

 373 Let go of Brother Zhao Feng!!

    ¡°You should know no one in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering is your match.¡±


    Yu Tianhao didn¡¯t give up because of Xin Wuheng¡¯s words but instead revealed a surprised and solemn expression.


    He had a feeling that this normal man could see everything about him and this was why he said this.


    ¡°You have no path or retreat. Either fight or give up the True Dragon Token.¡±


    Yu Tianhao smiled as he landed on a stone opposite Xin Wuheng.


    Give up the True Dragon Token?


    Xin Wuheng sighed in his heart. He couldn¡¯t do this.


    The reason why he participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering wasn¡¯t because of ranking but for something even better - inheritances.


    ¡°I must not pass this chance of entering the Heavens Legacy Inheritance. This is a chance to fly.¡±


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    His True Dragon Token had a faint glint of gold to it and was currently ranked around tenth.


    He hadn¡¯t lost any battle in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering from beginning to now. He had even beaten two or three experts of the first tier.


    ¡°The cultivation of the peak True Human Rank but has such a powerful dragon blessing. The person that Zhao Feng recommended is indeed not simple.¡±


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s aura fell and in a moment his cultivation was suppressed to the peak True Human Rank.


    Obviously, he didn¡¯t want to take advantage of Xin Wuheng.


    ¡°You won¡¯t be my match like this.¡±


    Xin Wuheng stated expressionlessly.


    Hearing this Yu Tianhao laughed: ¡°Ridiculous!¡±


    On the stage above the ancient arena.


    The Sovereigns, especially Yu Xingchen, payed attention to the face-off between Xin Wuheng and Yu Tianhao.


    Xin Wuheng was a black horse just below of Zhao Feng and being the number one prodigy, every action of Yu Tianhao¡¯s was watched.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao¡¯s mental energy level is comparable to the True Lord Rank and even if he supresses his cultivation, no one is his match.¡±


    ¡°However, this Xin Wuheng is very weird. He has profound insights and seems to be a ¡®grandmaster,¡¯ always winning even with lower cultivation.¡±


    The Sovereigns were interested.


    Unparalleled under the Heavens!


    Yu Tianhao moved and waved his hand sending a brilliant light that contained the belief of overwhelming confidence and dominance.


    Although he was clearly at the peak True Human Rank the power in it had reached a step where those at the True Mystic Rank would be threatened.


    Just that believe alone would be able charge into the enemy¡¯s mind and destroy their will.


    Limitless palm!


    Xin Wuheng stood with one hand behind his back as his other hand slowly moved through the air.


    A rippling wave of air came from the palm. There was no obvious element to it.


    Boom!


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s devastating attack seemed to sink into a mudhole in front of Xin Wuheng and was slowed down and weakened.


    The first move.


    A simple nullification. There was no huge clash that was expected.


    Xin Wuheng stood with one hand reached out and the other behind his back. His black hair blew in the wind and seemed like a martial arts grandmaster.


    Hmm!!?


    The Sovereigns were surprised.


    Calm, unrushed, peaceful.


    Xin Wuheng gave people a feeling that he was like the water, an experienced and old grandmaster and not a junior.


    He had no talent nor bloodline but had reached a step where he could fight other monsters in this generation.


    ¡°Interesting.¡±


    Battle intent burned in Yu Tianhao¡¯s eyes as his belief became stronger. With a shout he charged in front of Xin Wuheng.


    Close combat.


    Xin Wuheng was expressionless as one hand became slow, fast, soft, hard.


    Pah! Peng-- Bam!


    In the blink of an eye Xin Wuheng and Yu Tianhao had exchanged many blows.


    This time Yu Tianhao had released his belief and his attacks become stronger.


    Even though they were at the same cultivation Xin Wuheng couldn¡¯t take it anymore.


    After all, Yu Tianhao¡¯s Unparalleled under the Heavens believed in dominance and supreme that crushed everything in its path.


    ¡°With such a powerful martial intent, his mental energy has surpassed the level of battle intent.¡±


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s expression was solemn and understood his opponent surpassed previous enemies.


    Shua!


    His footwork changed, and his palm style merged with his body.


    At this point in time Xin Wuheng seemed to be nature. He became a flowing ocean that could suck in everything and anything.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s terrifying offense was nullified.


    Bam! Peng~ Boom!


    The close combat of the two became more and more fierce. It was like walking on a tightrope with an abyss below them.


    Many spectators took in a deep breath as they watched.


    What was more terrifying was that the battle from the two didn¡¯t destroy the rocks underneath them; only a few footstep marks were left behind.


    From this one could see their level of control.


    Switching the Stars!


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s style once again changed and became a pull and pull that almost redirected Yu Tianhao¡¯s attack.


    ¡°This move is interesting.¡±


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s figure faintly shook and was almost pulled away by Xin Wuheng.


    If it was another genius without his level of mental energy, they might have fallen onto the ground face first.


    Xin Wuheng didn¡¯t pass up this chance and then sliced towards Yu Tianhao¡¯s stomach as he became one with his insights.


    All his actions contained his energy, focus and power.


    Peng!


    Yu Tianhao was finally forced back a couple steps by Xin Wuheng.


    ¡°Indeed, he¡¯s not simple¡­.¡±


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s blood seemed to boil at this moment and his battle intent rose.


    Slowly and steadily his cultivation exceeded the True Human Rank and reached the True Mystic Rank.


    Xin Wuheng couldn¡¯t take it anymore and was forced to retreat.


    Anything had its limit and the opponents¡¯ insights surpassed sword intent and blade intents.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Origins Retract!¡±


    Xin Wuheng used both hands and ripples shot out that were both hard and soft.


    Focusing on it people saw that this transparent ripple formed the shape of TaiChi.


    Alone in the Heavens!


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s palm crushed everything within a hundred yards radius with overwhelming force.


    However.


    Xin Wuheng swiped his hands and the power seemed to be led, then absorbed and converted when it came near him.


    ¡°With the cultivation of the peak True Human Rank, he dissolved my attack?¡±


    Yu Tianhao was shocked.


    Of course, Xin Wuheng could only dissolve his attacks as he specialised in defence and couldn¡¯t threaten Yu Tianhao who was at the True Mystic Rank.


    However, Xin Wuheng had now used two hands.


    Before he had only used one hand even if the opponent had higher cultivation than him.


    On the stage in the sky.


    The Sovereigns watched Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng¡¯s battle with surprise.


    ¡°You should be able to see that Xin Wuheng¡¯s hidden his cultivation from the start of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering till now. His real cultivation is at the True Mystic Rank and has no bloodline or top talent.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant Deputy Palace Lord said.


    ¡°This Xin Wuheng has a secret.¡±


    Baiyun Dao Sovereign agreed.


    Seeing that everyone¡¯s attention was directed from Zhao Yufei to Xin Wuheng, he let out a breath.


    ¡°The feeling he gives me is that he¡¯s experienced and has deep insights. The way he uses skills is something that only the Origin Core Realm can do.¡±


    Yu Xingchen furrowed his eyebrows as he stared at Xin Wuheng.


    Xin Wuheng could resist Yu Tianhao with the peak True Human Rank against the latter who was at the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°Let¡¯s make an example: If an Origin Core Realm Sovereign had the experience and insights of a path from the Consolidated Realm to the Origin Core Realm and needed to cultivate from the beginning, will he be normal even if he had no talent or bloodline?¡±


    The Mystic Sword Sovereign gave an example.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing certain in this world. Although bloodlines are great, it¡¯s not the only path. The main key is still fortune. Back then the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch also had average talent and no bloodline power.¡±


    The Sovereigns agreed.


    It wasn¡¯t as if there wasn¡¯t anyone like Xin Wuheng in the past.


    Next to the river.


    In a ground sealed in ice.


    Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei tightly hugged another and as time passed the latter was surprised at Zhao Feng¡¯s dense Qi of True Spirit.


    It had already been an entire hour, but Zhao Feng was still burning his Qi of True Spirit even if it was a small amount.


    The power of burning the Qi of True Spirit was terrifying and could easily melt ice.


    Furthermore.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power kept on absorbing Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s ice powers and his bloodline seemed to become stronger.


    ¡°This fucking bitch used shameless methods to seal me.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t in a life or death situation, he was still frustrated.


    After being hugged and frozen by this girl for so long, he was infuriated but due to the fact he was frozen, he didn¡¯t dare burn heaps of Qi of True Spirit at once as there wasn¡¯t any way to release it.


    Huala!


    A light a hundred yards high shone from the river and a purple dressed girl with snow white skin appeared.


    ¡°Yufei, why did you come out so quickly?¡±


    Mo Tianyi was frightened.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes flashed and she suddenly seemed to sense something and turn towards the frozen area.


    In the frozen zone Zhao Feng was hugged tightly by an ice beauty.


    This scene made her heart feel cold.


    ¡°Let go of Brother Zhao Feng!!¡±


    When she saw the situation, a cold glint flashed in her eyes as she turned into a blur of light that charged towards the centre of the ice.


    Hu~~


    As Zhao Yufei flew a powerful aura of True Spirit dyed the sky with colour and every genius within a hundred miles radius felt their hearts jump.


    ¡°Such a powerful aura. It¡¯s like a True Lord that can summon Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei who was hugging Zhao Feng gritted her teeth as she once again lowered the temperature.

 374 Looking Down from the Clouds

    Goddess Bing Wei had detected Zhao Yufei arrival and circulated her bloodline power to drop the temperature to a terrifying level.


    She had already prepared to seal the person coming to help in ice as well.


    It was because of this that Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man didn¡¯t dare to come help Zhao Feng.


    The centre of the ice area couldn¡¯t be moved by normal True Mystic Ranks and might be eroded by the cold.


    ¡°Sister Yufei, watch out!¡±


    The expressions of Mo Tianyi and company changed but it was too late.


    In terms of speed Zhao Yufei had already surpassed Mo Tianyi, one of the top geniuses of the North.


    Zhao Yufei quickly came closer to the area of ice and each step she got closer, the cold went become chillier.


    Even normal True Mystic Ranks would be hard pushed to move at the core of the ice.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s skin had a jade feel to it and when the coldness came, she wasn¡¯t frozen as expected.


    A layer of light surrounded her body and could summon the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby within a mile radius. It was as if she was a True Lord Rank.


    Mo Tianyi and company could only watch as Zhao Yufei closed in on the centre of the ice area.


    At this moment in time.


    Although Zhao Yufei¡¯s bloodline was unique and had almost exceeded the limits of flesh, a thin layer of ice still interacted with her multi coloured light.


    Break!


    Zhao Yufei shouted as her jade hand lit up and sent hundreds of sharp lights towards the ice.


    Crack crack!


    The outer layer of the ice zone started to shatter.


    ¡°What power! Every action and move can summon the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.¡±


    Mo Tianyi and co. were dazed.


    Zhao Yufei had just reached the True Mystic Rank but was far stronger than imagined.


    Although her cultivation and mental energy level was still at the beginning stages of the True Mystic Rank, her compatibility with Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was comparable to a True Lord Rank.


    ¡°You want to break through my ice by just you?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s body released an even more powerful surge of cold light that quickly recovered the broken ice.


    Gusts of howling icy wind swept towards Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei exclaimed and used her skills to block these winds. In terms of strength Zhao Yufei was still a line away from an overwhelming prodigy such as Goddess Bing Wei.


    However.


    Goddess Bing Wei had forgot something. Zhao Feng who she had sealed was the sixth overwhelming prodigy who was at her level.


    Being distracted by Zhao Yufei gave Zhao Feng time to recover and using this time he quickly burnt his Qi of True Spirit to melt the surrounding ice.


    ¡°Mystic Lightning Explosion!!¡±


    Flowers of lightning formed around Zhao Feng and started to blossom.


    Boom~~~ Crack!! Crack!


    A barrage of shocking booms came from within the ice and teamed up with Zhao Yufei.


    In that instant, everyone within a hundred miles radius could hear the sound of an ice mountain crumbling and the surrounding ice shattered layer by layer.


    The terrifying power of the Mystic Lightning Explosion first hit Goddess Bing Wei who was hugging him.


    The distance was too close.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s body went numb and she was sent flying and a leak of blood appeared on her lips.


    ¡°Burning my Qi of True Spirit makes me indeed strong, but this Mystic Lightning Explosion is also created from the Lightning Inheritance, Lightning Mystic Stone and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible while I was sealed in ice.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed, and arcs of chaotic lightning scorched the surroundings.


    In an instant he became a God of Destruction.


    The spectating overwhelming prodigies Shi Chengtian and Taiyun Shuangzi were stunned.


    The Mystic Lightning Explosion was created with burning the Qi of True Spirit as the basis and its power was devastating.


    Before Zhao Feng was fully sealed in ice so couldn¡¯t release this move or else he might have injured himself.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, are you ok?¡±


    Zhao Yufei did her best to try and dissolve the nearby lightning and ice to try and meet up with Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Yufei, you came right on time.¡±


    The two stood shoulder to shoulder and faced off Goddess Bing Wei.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Without saying anything Zhao Feng fired a shot onto Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s body.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s mind started to burn, and she circulated her Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body to put off the flames.


    ¡°Bastard¡­.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s face was pale white as she heaved her chest up in down to catch her breath.


    From the start of the battle till now Goddess Bing Wei had used all his methods and even used a shameless hugging method to seal a stranger but ended in failure.


    Furthermore, Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s mind was even more injured.


    ¡°One overwhelming prodigy and another quasi overwhelming prodigy. If I don¡¯t leave now it¡¯ll be troublesome.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei turned into a streak of light that escaped to the South.


    Zhao Feng sent her away with his eyes and didn¡¯t pursue her.


    He and Zhao Yufei had both broken through not long ago and needed to consolidate their foundation.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any confidence to make Goddess Bing Wei stay. Her bloodline and Mystic Ice Jade Charming Body was troublesome.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline could absorb ice attacks, but Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s bloodline had strong defence and was also resilient towards most ice elemental skills.


    It was Zhao Yufei¡¯s strength that surprised Zhao Feng. She had just reached the True Mystic Rank but had the battle power of a quasi-overwhelming prodigy.


    The area next to the river was in chaos.


    Only Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei were left behind and the two stood shoulder to shoulder, like a holy couple.


    Goddess Bing Wei and Shi Chengtian had both retreated.


    Zhao Feng looked towards the directions where the two ran and a playful smile appeared on his lips.


    Just as Goddess Bing Wei escaped one hundred miles away, a girl holding a five-coloured glass whip appeared out of a lake. She revealed part of her legs and her eyes were pure.


    ¡°Tantai Lanyue, what¡¯s the meaning of this?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s expression changed slightly.


    ¡°Hehe, Goddess Bing Wei, I still haven¡¯t paid you back for ambushing me before.¡±


    Tantai Lanyue twirled the whip in her hands and a puff of white smoke enveloped a hundred yards radius.


    Wu~~~~~


    A soul shocking roar came from under the girl dressed in several colours and the invisible aura radiating from it made Goddess Bing Wei unable to breathe.


    A small mountain was revealed after the white smoke faded. It was an Earth Dragon Beast brown yellow in colour with a dragon horn on its head. Its mouth was dark and even larger than a normal house.


    Compared with the Earth Dragon Beast, Tantai Lanyue¡¯s figure was like an ant but she was the owner of this One-Horned Earth Dragon Beast.


    ¡°Hehe, one horned, let¡¯s beat her up.¡±


    Tantai Lanyue laughed childishly as she waved her whip and ordered the Earth Dragon Beast to attack Goddess Bing Wei.


    It was as if a small mountain was charging forwards.


    Goddess Bing Wei didn¡¯t have Yu Tianhao¡¯s overwhelming battle power nor Shi Chengtian¡¯s strength so could only dodge.


    At the same time.


    On the other side dozens of miles away.


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s walking was uneven and he suddenly stopped in front of a hill.


    ¡°Hehe¡­. Shi Chengtian, we¡¯ve waited a long time for you.¡±


    Taiyun Shuangzi laughed wickedly as he gripped a sword and blade and blocked Shi Chengtian¡¯s path.


    Shi Chengtian didn¡¯t specialise in speed and his leg was still injured therefore he could only fight.


    These scenes obviously fell into Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    Goddess Bing Wei and Shi Chengtian had both been ambushed by other overwhelming prodigies after fighting Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel any pity for them.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei met up with Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man.


    Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man were slightly awkward.


    At first when Zhao Feng was frozen they didn¡¯t go help but Zhao Yufei did.


    After the danger was over, both Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei were happy.


    Zhao Yufei still needed to consolidate her foundation but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really need to since he had formed his root of law before breaking through.


    ¡°Brother Mo, you go first protect Yufei. I¡¯ll be right back.¡±


    Zhao Feng said then turned into a blur that flashed through the air.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t go to chase Goddess Bing Wei or kill Shi Chengtian.


    He came to a hill and looked towards a cave with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Within the cave.


    Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng had started a soul shaking battle.


    The attacks of the two were extremely powerful and holes could be seen everywhere.


    ¡°This Xin Wuheng has indeed hidden himself deeply.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye locked onto Xin Wuheng.


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s intents seemed to be from nature and every movement from him was perfect.


    Every action, every skill used Xin Wuheng¡¯s power to his entire potential.


    The surrounding Heaven Earth Yuan Qi seemed to become his shield.


    His opponent Yu Tianhao was just purely powerful and his belief was like sword and blade intent that could slash through the void.


    If Zhao Feng had to say which one was stronger, it would be Yu Tianhao who had unparalleled battle power.


    However, Xin Wuheng was more skilled.


    Ten moves¡­ fifty moves¡­ one hundred moves.


    The pace of the two was fast and slow at times, giving off a feeling that the space had been distorted


    Those watching this battle including Zhao Feng and the spectators in the ancient arena felt their hearts shake.


    The difference was that Zhao Feng was watching with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and could copy the scenes into his mind.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng circulated his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to the maximum to his ¡®steal¡¯ more skills.


    At a certain point he suddenly felt his consciousness exit his shell.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s point of view changed.


    He saw Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng¡¯s battle from the sky.


    Both Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng seemed to feel a cold eye look down onto them but when they looked up, there was nothing there.


    Only till two hundred moves later was the victor decided.


    Peng!


    One of the figures was sent flying into the mountain.

 375 Comprehension

    Alone in the Heavens!


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s battle intent surged and a supreme belief radiated from him that made the Earth tremble and make the sky lose its colour.


    At that point in time he seemed to be the only being in the world as he looked down at everything.


    Switching the Stars! Ten Thousand Origins Retract!


    Xin Wuheng had a solemn expression on his face that was never did before, and his two hands profoundly tried to absorb and redirect Yu Tianhao¡¯s palm.


    However.


    At the last moment Yu Tianhao¡¯s cultivation uncontrollably rose to the late stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    Bam!


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s body flew out and smashed into the mountain bringing dust down.


    ¡°I¡¯ve lost. If you want the True Dragon Token I can give it to you.¡±


    Xin Wuheng expressionlessly took out the True Dragon Token.


    Within the bubble of light victory didn¡¯t mean you could take the loser¡¯s dragon blessing. One had to physically take the True Dragon Token.


    Due to the difference in cultivation and Yu Tianhao¡¯s bloodline, it was obvious he would win.


    ¡°You forced me to use the cultivation of the late stages of the True Mystic Rank with only cultivation of the beginning stage True Mystic Rank power and I barely w.¡±


    Yu Tianhao looked at Xin Wuheng deeply as if trying to remember what he looked like.


    However, Xin Wuheng was too normal, there was nothing special about him.


    It was the calm and peaceful aura from him that didn¡¯t seem in sync with his age.


    Finally.


    Yu Tianhao didn¡¯t take Xin Wuheng¡¯s True Dragon Token and left.


    In his heart he didn¡¯t win; it could be said he even lost.


    Being the number one genius Yu Tianhao had been crowned ever since he was young and stood lonely at the peak.


    However, although he didn¡¯t lose this battle he felt as if he did.


    Sending Yu Tianhao away with his eyes Xin Wuheng shook his head and smiled. It seemed that it was within his expectations that the opponent didn¡¯t take his True Dragon Token.


    Above the ancient arena on the stage.


    ¡°Although it seemed Xin Wuheng lost the last move, he¡¯s not injured as he had nullified the power.¡±


    The Green Moon Sovereign¡¯s face was filled with surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s better this way. Hao¡¯ers path of cultivation has been too smooth and it¡¯s not a good thing to have no opponents.¡±


    Yu Xingchen¡¯s eyes twinkled as he started to think.


    Being a father, he obviously wished for Yu Tianhao to have more powerful opponents yet Yu Tianhao¡¯s talent was outstanding and threw every other prodigy behind his back.


    In the past year Yu Tianhao purposely didn¡¯t break through to the True Lord Rank or else what would the Sacred True Dragon Gathering mean to him>


    On the mountain.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness entered a profound state and seemed to have leapt out of his body and watched the process of Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng¡¯s battle.


    He had felt this feeling twice before.


    Both times an Eye of Heaven had appeared in the sky but expended a lot of mental energy.


    This time Zhao Feng slightly controlled it and only ¡®watched¡¯ and didn¡¯t put any pressure on it.


    After the fight Xin Wuheng glanced towards the sky and appeared to be thinking.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao¡¯s battle power is indeed unparalleled, even Xin Wuheng lost.¡±


    Inside the dimension of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, the scenes replayed in his mind.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s belief had surpassed normal sword and blade intent. Cang Yuyue, Tian Yunzhi and company would be useless against him.


    This power came from the heart and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t copy it.


    There was a limit to skills Zhao Feng could copy.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had a limit - it wasn¡¯t as if he could do everything.


    First was the compatibility between bloodline and element.


    Some bloodline secret techniques were based on a certain bloodline so even if Zhao Feng knew how it was used, he couldn¡¯t use it.


    This was the greatest barrier.


    Second was the level of skill. If it was too high Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t comprehend it and might be restricted by his cultivation level.


    For example, he wouldn¡¯t be able to comprehend the legendary ¡®Earth grade¡¯ skills that even Origin Core Realm experts found hard to understand.


    However, Xin Wuheng¡¯s skills had no obvious element nor bloodline requirements since he didn¡¯t have a bloodline himself.


    However, his insights were profound and cultivation wasn¡¯t high.


    ¡°Hehe, Switching the Stars and Ten Thousand Origins Retract as well as that unique intent. Every action putting mental energy, power and focus together; becoming one with nature.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face as he copied Xin Wuheng¡¯s skills.


    There was a total of three.


    The first was Switching the Stars, a skill that redirected energy elsewhere.


    The second was Ten Thousand Origins Retract which was even more profound and used an invisible hand to absorb the enemy¡¯s power and convert it to their own.


    The third was the combination of mental energy, power and focus, becoming one with nature.


    Zhao Feng could only immediately copy the first type which was to redirect energy.


    The second Ten Thousand Origins Retract was more profound and started to touch the skill Xin Wuheng cultivated so Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t learn it instantly.


    The three was the most difficult and Zhao Feng found that basically it was the use of the root of law.


    ¡°If I comprehend the third it can increase my root of law.¡±


    Zhao Feng realised.


    He put more importance on the third while merging the first type into his own skill.


    The Lightning Inheritance and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible were top tier skills across the continent but was only considered average in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Zhao Feng had to keep absorbing and strengthening his own skill to have the chance to reach the peak of this continent.


    He thought that he wasn¡¯t knowledgeable to create his own skills but could try to do so by merging the skill of others together.


    After a while.


    Zhao Feng returned to the cave near the river and Zhao Yufei was still consolidating her cultivation while Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man protected her.


    In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed and Zhao Feng had successfully merged the technique of Switching the Stars into his own.


    He then focused on Xin Wuheng¡¯s One with the nature intent.


    Under this intent Zhao Feng had to concentrate fully on his mental energy thoughts and interact it with his root of law.


    The combination of mental energy, energy and attention could use the full potential of one¡¯s power and was slightly easier to comprehend.


    Apart from thinking about it in his mind Zhao Feng would also time to time stand up and test it out.


    Mo Tianyi and company were first surprised then realised that Zhao Feng seemed to become more and more like Xin Wuheng.


    Switching the Stars, mental energy, power and focus into one.


    Zhao Feng could do this.


    The combination of mental energy, power and focus could release Zhao Feng¡¯s full potential and reach levels where he usually couldn¡¯t.


    Zhao Feng felt his root of law become clearer and become more able to interact with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    The Qi of True Spirit within his body was one with his mental energy and circulated smoothly with every thought.


    ¡°No wonder Xin Wuheng¡¯s cultivation speed is so fast.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy and power had reached an unprecedented level and felt his senses with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi become stronger.


    In just half a day¡¯s time, Zhao Feng felt his cultivation rise.


    At this moment.


    His cultivation was fully consolidated and exceeded most beginning stage True Mystic Ranks and was moving towards the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    The more he comprehended the more Zhao Feng felt how not simple Xin Wuheng was.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t believe Xin Wuheng got these tricks from the Clan.


    Therefore.


    Zhao Feng asked Mo Tianyi.


    ¡°There¡¯s many rumours about this Xin Wuheng. Some said he reached this level by self-learning and never had a master. He can use terrifying power from normal skills and cultivate devastating skills.¡±


    Mo Tianyi said after some thought.


    After all, before the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Xin Wuheng was a genius of the Northern Continent just below Mo Tianyi and Xia Xianshang.


    As the two were talking, shouts came from the river.


    ¡°Chapter Leader Zhao!¡±


    ¡°Is Chapter Leader here?¡±


    A male and female¡¯s voice sounded from above.


    Zhao Feng raised his head and was slightly surprised as he appeared in the air above the river.


    The two were Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye.


    The two had sullen expressions and no signs of dragon blessing came from them.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Zhao Feng realised that he had forgotten about Die Ye and Jiang Sanfeng from the Iron Blood Religion after entering this place.


    After some discussion Zhao Feng found that Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye¡¯s True Dragon Token had been stolen.


    The two had teamed up and as long as they didn¡¯t meet the geniuses of the first tier, they could usually win.


    However, their luck was bad two days ago and met Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s pursuit.


    ¡°Your True Dragon Tokens were taken by Taiyun Shuangzi?¡±


    Zhao Feng furrowed his eyebrows.


    He had seen how cruel Taiyun Shuangzi was in this place. If the person didn¡¯t hand over their True Dragon Token, they would be beaten or killed.


    ¡°I almost lost my life. My right arm was broken like this.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng said sadly and Zhao Feng saw that half his right arm was empty.


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t because Taiyun Shuangzi found a new target at the last minute we might¡¯ve been crippled or killed.¡±


    Die Ye said luckily.


    In this place if one True Dragon Token was taken, it was hard to find another.


    As time passed the number of True Dragon Token¡¯s would decrease and the ones with True Dragon Tokens were all very powerful. Even the two of them combined wouldn¡¯t last a few moves.


    Originally.


    The two had given up but over the past day they had heard of the six overwhelming prodigy and rushed over to find Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Relax, I¡¯ll help you guys get back a True Dragon Token and I think that the number of overwhelming prodigies here is a tad too much.¡±


    Zhao Feng eyes flashed coldly as his blue hair blew in the wind.


    Die Ye and Jiang Sanfeng were stunned. From Zhao Feng¡¯s tone it seemed that he was going to trouble Taiyun Shuangzi.


    Taiyun Shuangzi was known for his cruelty and cunningness in the five overwhelming prodigies.


    Furthermore, the brothers each had a blade and sword. They had no flaws when fighting and could both attack and defend.

 376 One Move is Enough

    After meeting Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye Zhao Feng parted with the three from the Heavenly Yuan Clan.


    Of the Heavenly Yuan Clan, Zhao Yufei had the strength of a quasi-overwhelming prodigy and Mo Tianyi was at the first tier. With these two here even if an overwhelming prodigy appeared they would be able to fight back a bit or two.


    Zhao Feng led the way at the front and his gold dragon shone in the sky and could be sensed from far away.


    ¡°Run! The sixth overwhelming prodigy Zhao Feng has exited seclusion!¡±


    ¡°This Zhao Feng first severely injured Shi Chengtian and then Goddess Bing Wei, two overwhelming prodigies.¡±


    On the way, geniuses ran everywhere, especially those with True Dragon Tokens.


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye followed behind Zhao Feng and clucked their tongues with shock. They felt excited and complex at the same time.


    Thinking about how they had been chased away by these geniuses and now they experienced what it felt to see these peak geniuses scatter. Although it wasn¡¯t because of them they still felt good.


    ¡°This is the effect strength brings.¡±


    ¡°I never would have thought that our Iron Blood Religion would also have an overwhelming prodigy.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye were happy and relaxed. They didn¡¯t need to worry about being pursued anymore.


    On the way.


    Zhao Feng and company met Prince Jin and a few others from the Canopy Great Country on the way.


    Seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s aura of an overwhelming prodigy Prince Jin was first stunned before reacting and took a deep breath to ¡®seek refuge¡¯ from Zhao Feng.


    If Zhao Feng was willing, he could take them in as a few lackeys.


    ¡°You can go. If I meet you next time I¡¯ll see you guys as my opponent.¡±


    Zhao Feng said coldly and declined straight away as he released his mental energy pressure making Prince Jin and company unable to breathe.


    There were no rules here and he wasn¡¯t a buddha that needed to protect others.


    Prince Jin and company left but this result was expected. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem like one of those nice people.


    ¡°Chapter Leader Zhao, your dragon blessing is too strong and anyone that sees you will have ran away when they see you.¡±


    Die Ye said, somewhat worried.


    As time passed the number of True Dragon Tokens decreased.


    ¡°Simple.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and let the little thieving cat out.


    He used Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye as bait while the little thieving cat helped, and Zhao Feng supported them with the Luohou Bow.


    In reality, with Zhao Feng¡¯s speed, he could easily catch up to those escaping and steal their True Dragon Token¡¯s.


    However, he didn¡¯t want the two to get True Dragon Token¡¯s so easily.


    An hour later.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do much and Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye both now had a silver True Dragon Token with a glitter of gold.


    After completing the problems for the two, Zhao Feng decided to find trouble for Taiyun Shuangzi.


    Zhao Feng ordered Die Ye and company to stay within a twenty-mile radius of him so this way his overwhelming prodigy dragon blessing aura would make other geniuses not come near.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, that Taiyun Shuangzi is gruesome and terrifying. Since we¡¯ve already got a True Dragon Token we don¡¯t need to become his enemy.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng felt uneasy.


    After all, Zhao Feng had just reached the overwhelming prodigy level whereas Taiyun Shuangzi was a pair of brothers that each had 80% power of an overwhelming prodigy. When combined, their sword and blades exceeded normal overwhelming prodigies.


    From the Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s beginning till now only Yu Tianhao and Taiyun Shuangzi had no losses.


    ¡°Taiyun Shuangzi has both a sword and blade and does indeed have strong battle power. In terms of pure offense, he might even exceed Shi Chengtian and Goddess Bing Wei. I don¡¯t have much confidence in a full straightforward combat.¡±


    Zhao Feng said calmly.


    Hearing this Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye felt uneasy.


    If Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have much confidence, then why would he find trouble for Taiyun Shuangzi?


    If it was because of them that Zhao Feng had an accident, they couldn¡¯t bear the responsibility.


    ¡°Of course, I¡¯m talking about the straightforward battle. In other people¡¯s eyes, Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s offense and defense is perfect and has no flaws. However, I have their flaw and can win in one move.¡±


    A confidence surged from Zhao Feng.


    Only other overwhelming prodigies could take care of overwhelming prodigies.


    After saying this he opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and scanned for Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s location.


    In just a second Zhao Feng had confirmed his location.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng led the path and Jiang Sanfeng and Die wanted to say something but was overtaken by expectation.


    On the way.


    A sudden surge of a golden dragon appeared from in front that was even slightly stronger than Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Both Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye took a deep breath and became nervous.


    Sou!


    A rainbow dressed young girl appeared in the sky on a flying fish the size of a pond. Her five-colored glass whip made the nearby geniuses retreat.


    Within the bubble of light.


    Once an overwhelming prodigy appeared, everyone would run.


    Yet what if an overwhelming prodigy met another?


    Under normal situations, overwhelming prodigies would be able to sense another from a long way off and would usually avoid one another since they weren¡¯t confident in winning.


    However.


    Zhao Feng had locked onto Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s direction and had no signs of avoiding her.


    ¡°It¡¯s him¡­.¡±


    Tantai Lanyue saw Zhao Feng from long away and her expression became slightly solemn.


    She and Zhao Feng had met at the river but didn¡¯t fight.


    At that time Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was at most at the quasi-overwhelming prodigy level and although he couldn¡¯t be ignored by Tantai Lanyue, he was looked down upon.


    However, after defeating Shi Chengtian and Goddess Bing Wei, Zhao Feng¡¯s position of overwhelming prodigy was unmovable.


    Tantai Lanyue had also watched that battle.


    ¡°His eye bloodline is biased towards the mental energy, but my mental energy level is high and can counter him. I¡¯m scared that he¡¯ll attack my spiritual pets though.¡±


    Tantai Lanyue analyzed and although she wasn¡¯t scared of Zhao Feng, she was still wary of him.


    The two didn¡¯t retreat and the golden dragons in the sky approached one another.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng and Tantai Lanyue were a mile apart.


    Attacks could be fired at this range already especially for Zhao Feng who specialized in the bow.


    Tantai Lanyue had already prepared in her heart but in her sight, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even both looking at her and passed by behind her.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Tantai Lanyue was slightly surprised. She first thought that Zhao Feng was here to cause trouble as she had interrupted him that day.


    Looking at the direction Zhao Feng was heading in she suddenly remembered something.


    ¡°If I¡¯m right Taiyun Shuangzi and Shi Chengtian should be in that direction¡­.¡±


    Tantai Lanyue¡¯s pure eyes spin as she thought of something.


    If she was correct, Zhao Feng had most likely locked onto a certain overwhelming prodigy.


    Thinking up to here she decided to follow behind.


    Half the time it took to make tea later.


    A mountain appeared from in front and there were large fluctuations of Earth Yuan Qi.


    On this mountain was two powerful auras from overwhelming prodigies.


    In the depths of the mountain, Taiyun Shuangzi held a sword and blade and laughed towards the sky as he brutally hacked towards the large stone ball in front of him.


    The large stone ball gave off a faint yellow light.


    Ding Ding! Peng! Peng!


    The sword and blade left sparks on the large stone ball.


    One dragon blessing came from Taiyun Shuangzi and the other came from the large stone ball.


    Looking closely the large stone ball was actually a person who had wrapped himself up and a layer of brown and yellow formed a strong defense around him.


    The large stone ball had sunk into the mountain as if trying to interact with the Earth and gain more defense.


    ¡°Shi Chengtian who has the Stone Heart bloodline is indeed worthy of having the strongest defense amongst the overwhelming prodigies...¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed as he looked from afar.


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s defense was already terrifying and normal overwhelming prodigies would find it hard pressed to break through it.


    At this moment he had curled himself into a ball and almost become fully stone as he interacted with the earth Yuan Qi.


    This meant that his defense and recovery speed both rose substantially.


    If it weren¡¯t because of the fact that Zhao Feng had almost crippled Shi Chengtian¡¯s leg Taiyun Shuangzi probably couldn¡¯t finish off Shi Chengtian.


    However, Taiyun Shuangzi was cunning and hit the metal while it was hot, forcing Shi Chengtian into this desperate situation.


    No matter how strong Shi Chengtian¡¯s defense was, he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape the fate that Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s sword and blade brought.


    ¡°Big bro, there¡¯s another overwhelming prodigy aura appearing.¡±


    ¡°Not good, it¡¯s that brat. Does he want a share of our spoils of war?¡±


    Taiyun Shuangzi stopped and caught his breath before glaring at Zhao Feng with deadly threatening eyes.


    Most overwhelming prodigies usually tried to avoid Taiyun Shuangzi.


    This pair of brothers were savage and fought like maniacs. Once they fought with their lives normal overwhelming prodigies couldn¡¯t take it.


    ¡°Blue-haired kid, you got here just in time. We¡¯ll team up and take down this stone guys first then we¡¯ll split his dragon blessing 60-40.¡±


    The elder brother of Taiyun Shuangzi bulged his eyes as he thought of a plan.


    In this current situation, it was best for them not to fight Zhao Feng.


    They had already forced Shi Chengtian into a corner and if they started to fight Zhao Feng now, Shi Chengtian would recover and pincer attack them.


    It wasn¡¯t easy to face two overwhelming prodigies at once and seeing Zhao Feng arrive Shi Chengtian¡¯s ball of stone sunk deeper into the ground.


    Taiyun Shuangzi didn¡¯t really care about that and waited for Zhao Feng¡¯s response. The severely injured Shi Chengtian wouldn¡¯t be able to run far.


    ¡°So, this is what overwhelming prodigies say to one another? Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s scared to fight us and even asked to team up.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye behind were stunned.


    Taiyun Shuangzi suggesting working together and give 40% of the dragon blessing was taking a step back and admitting Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.


    However.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s blue hair blew in the wind as he shouted: ¡°You really think an ugly monster like you has the right to work with me? My target isn¡¯t the stone man, but trash like you¡­ one move is enough to finish you two off.¡±

 377 Fall of an Overwhelming Prodigy

    ¡°My target isn¡¯t the stone man, but trash like you¡­ one move is enough to finish you two off.¡±


    The blue haired youth''s eyes were cold and didn¡¯t seem to care about them at all.


    This sentence was so savage that even Taiyun Shuangzi who was known for his cruelty was stunned.


    ¡°One move is enough? Where does Zhao Feng¡¯s confidence come from?¡±


    Tantai Lanyue who followed behind was surprised by this scene.


    Of the original five overwhelming prodigies Taiyun Shuangzi was a twin bodied person who¡¯s battle power was terrifying when they worked together. They were gruesome and had the signs of the second strongest.


    Taiyun Shuangzi was even a strong contestant for first place this Sacred True Dragon Gathering and had a large chance of challenging Yu Tianhao.


    Shi Chengtian who had buried himself in the ground thought: ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s bullshitting way too much.¡±


    However, being someone who had fought Zhao Feng before, he knew the latter¡¯s power and so was half in doubt and half in belief.


    He didn¡¯t run far and quickly used the time to recover while paying attention to the battlefield.


    ¡°One move to beat us? Arrogant!¡±


    ¡°Yayayaya¡­. He¡¯s not putting us brothers in his eyes at all!¡±


    Taiyun Shuangzi roared and his True Spirit realm was unleashed and seemed to contain a cruelty to it.


    Thinking how they had swept across the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and even normal overwhelming prodigies would avoid them, they were now humiliated here??


    When had they been this much underestimated?


    One move was enough.


    This was total disrespect.


    ¡°Cruel, easy to anger, selfish¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back as his watched Taiyun Shuangzi charge over.


    Boom!


    A nearby mountaintop was sliced off and the small mountain exploded.


    Flaming nine sky blades!


    Earth Ice Sword soul!


    The sword and blade interacted with ice and fire, turning everything within a mile radius into a dead zone. The terrifying power was enough to instantly kill normal True Mystic Ranks.


    These two peak skills were of directly opposite elements and his battle power was top tier.


    ¡°His attack can be considered perfect with the merging of ice and fire, blade and sword.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    Under this situation he wouldn¡¯t have an advantage against Taiyun Shuangzi.


    Shua!


    A blur was left behind, and the sky was filled with after images.


    Booooom----


    Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s first round of attacks missed and he soon locked onto a lone hill where a person stood.


    ¡°Ugly monster, you two were born together and have no freedom or privacy. Even your life is linked together. How pitiful is it for you two to live in this world? Maybe this is why you two are so bloodthirsty.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood on the hill, his face full of pity and mockery.


    Hearing this Taiyun Shuangzi roared and his anger reached a boiling point.


    ¡°Graaaaa¡­ kid, you¡¯re dead!¡±


    ¡°Yayaya¡­. Blue haired brat, how dare you look down on us!? Everyone that did this before were chopped into ten thousand pieces by us and eaten.¡±


    Killing intent flashed in Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s eyes.


    Zhao Feng had touched Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s sore point. Although they were two people, the two lived in the same problem and had no freedom nor privacy. Even when they used woman they used the same body.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s actually very simple. As long as one of you kills the other, the one surviving will receive freedom and have a new life.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips.


    Kill the other.


    Taiyun Shuangzi had obviously thought of this before. They were all tired of this body and each other. However, they were brothers and were guarded by their faction.


    Eye of the Heart!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye seemed to create Heaven.


    The enraged Taiyun Shuangzi had almost lost his mind and when he saw Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he became dazed and stood still.


    Immediately following that.


    The two faces on Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s faces started to struggle and then smiled retardedly as well as become possessed by cunningness.


    Their gazes then ignored Zhao Feng and looked at each other.


    ¡°Big bro, I¡¯ve been tired of you for a long time now. Why now let me live? I want to live a free and casual life. I don¡¯t like to share my women¡­.¡±


    The younger brother of the Taiyun Shuangzi said in a deadly tone as a sword flash struck towards the big bro.


    ¡°Hehe, I knew this day would come.¡±


    The elder Taiyun Shuangzi laughed and his blade flashed with a brilliant light as he slashed towards his younger brother.


    Ding Ding Dang Dang---


    The two fought without hiding back and on the same body, the blade clashed with the sword and sparks flew everywhere.


    The two shared a body and their Qi of True Spirit intertwined.


    In just a short while the two had caused fires to burn and ice storms to howl.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure started to fade, and his left eye became full of the future that could be achieved.


    ¡°The Eye of Heart is very effective towards those that have weak mental energy will.¡±


    Zhao Feng watched Taiyun Shuangzi attack himself.


    In terms of battle power Zhao Feng was wary of Taiyun Shuangzi. Even Goddess Bing Wei, Tantai Lanyue and the other overwhelming prodigies were as well.


    Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s combination of sword and blade was considered perfect and Zhao Feng had to admit that he didn¡¯t have much confidence against him in a head on battle.


    However, sometimes winning didn¡¯t need strength. It could be achieved through a more elegant manner.


    Taiyun Shuangzi was affected by his surroundings and had a major flaw in his heart which was exposed by Zhao Feng.


    Winning in one move wasn¡¯t a lie.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even need to use his hands and could make Taiyun Shuangzi attack each other which would most likely end in them both dying.


    ¡°My God? What happened to Taiyun Shuangzi? Was he really defeated by Zhao Feng in one move?¡±


    Tantai Lanyue from behind had surprise all written over her face.


    ¡°One move is enough. Looks like Zhao Feng indeed didn¡¯t lie.¡±


    Ding Dang! Ding Dang!


    The two brothers of Taiyun Shuangzi fought more and more fiercely and soon the two were injured.


    Because they shared the same body they tried their best to attack the opponents head and limbs.


    The elder brother of Taiyun Shuangzi had his right arm injured and several marks on his face.


    The younger brother of Taiyun Shuangzi had one ear cut off.


    At this point in time the two had gruesome expressions.


    An hour later.


    Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s body staggered as the two looked at one another.


    Xiu!


    A sudden flash of lightning passed through their back.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The two brothers felt a coldness from behind them, but it was too late.


    Shua!


    A leg was cut off and blood squirted everywhere.


    Plop!


    After losing his balance, Taiyun Shuangzi instantly fell onto the ground and the injuries on them was left from their battle.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attack had also aimed towards Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s weakness as Taiyun Shuangzi shared a body but only had two legs. After losing one leg his movement decreased significantly.


    ¡°Damn it, we were tricked by this brat¡­.¡±


    The elder Taiyun Shuangzi said regretfully.


    At this moment.


    Taiyun Shuangzi was severely injured and had lost a leg. His overall strength had dropped by over half.


    Zhao Feng stood on the hill with a playful smile on his face. He looked like a Lord of the Wicked path who had forced the opponent into a desperate situation.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Taiyun Shuangzi wasn¡¯t dumb and forced down the pain as he circulated his Qi of True Spirit to fly into the air.


    Their current state was horrible. Putting aside the overwhelming prodigies, even those at the first tier might win against them.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s methods were weird and tricky. Thinking about what just happened made them cold.


    ¡°Taiyun Shuangzi, die!¡±


    A bright voice sounded from the mountain and a large powerful gravity landed on Taiyun Shuangzi.


    ¡°Shi Chengtian!¡±


    Taiyun Shuangzi found that he was falling down and screamed in fear.


    Crack!


    Shi Chengtian came out from the mountain and his large body stepped heavily on Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s body.


    Wah!


    Taiyun Shuangzi instantly spat out a mouthful of blood as his bones broke and organs started to bleed.


    Shi Chengtian had the most powerful body in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and with all his force condensed, that power was terrifying.


    Furthermore, Shi Chengtian didn¡¯t have any signs of stopping as he continuously stomped on Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s body while he took the True Dragon Token.


    Weng~~


    Two shining gold dragons intertwined but because the amount of dragon blessing within a True Dragon Token was so large, it couldn¡¯t be fully absorbed within a short amount of time.


    When the True Dragon Token¡¯s colour almost faded by half, Shi Chengtian threw it over to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t reject this and took over the True Dragon Token. There was still 60% in it.


    ¡°You did more work in killing Taiyun Shuangzi. This one owes you a favour.¡±


    Shi Chengtian promised to Zhao Feng as he stepped on Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s body.


    Coming over to cause trouble to Taiyun Shuangzi had also saved Shi Chengtian¡¯s life.


    Shi Chengtian was one of the most honest ones in the five overwhelming prodigies and promised to owe Zhao Feng a favour.


    Weng~


    The golden dragon behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back started to expand.


    Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s dragon blessing was enormous and sixty percent of it allowed Zhao Feng¡¯s dragon to surpass Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s and Tantai Lanyue¡¯s.


    Crack!


    Shi Chengtian shattered Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s body into pieces and Taiyun Shuangzi unleashed a howl before dying.


    An overwhelming prodigy had fallen now.


    Tantai Lanyue who was spectating nearby couldn¡¯t help but take a cold breath as her face went pale.


    She inspected the blue haired youth on the hill once again now with wary and solemnness.


    Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s death didn¡¯t move Zhao Feng and instead he murmured to himself: ¡°It¡¯s better that he died to Shi Chengtian.¡±

 378 True Dragon Geniuses

    Ancient Arena.


    The hundred thousand spectators were watching this scene in front of them.


    The overwhelming prodigies had never wavered from the start of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering till now.


    Who would have thought that that an overwhelming prodigy would fall, and it was Taiyun Shuangzi who had extreme battle power!


    Until Zhao Feng this black horse appeared, everything became possible.


    He first drew with Goddess Bing Wei first and then moved the overwhelming prodigies¡¯ position as he injured one prodigy after another, finally becoming one himself.


    And now he had played a great deal in Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s death.


    Although Shi Chengtian had killed Taiyun Shuangzi, most people looked at the blue haired youth instead.


    He had barely done anything and just used the flaw in Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s heart to kill him.


    Zhao Feng remained expressionless while watching Taiyun Shuangzi being stomped to death .


    At this point in time.


    His dragon blessing had reached the overwhelming prodigy¡¯s level and was about the same as Shi Chengtian¡¯s, more than Tantai Lanyue¡¯s and Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s.


    ¡°Although Taiyun Shuangzi is strong his mental energy is the weakest amongst the original five overwhelming prodigies and has a major flaw in his character. The Eye of Heart is perfect for this.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think about his four eye techniques.


    Eye of Illusion: Using mental energy to trap the enemy but has no direct offensive power.


    Eye of Heart: Entering the opponents flaw and can even control enemies with weak mental energy.


    Eye of Ice Soul: Using the power of ice to erode the enemy¡¯s consciousness.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye: Merging the True Spirit Flame with his eye and sending an attack that attacks both the physical and mental energy world.


    There was no such as thing as the best here.


    In terms of pure offense, the Lightning Eye God¡¯s Eye was the strongest but sometimes it wasn¡¯t as useful as the other eye techniques.


    For example, when facing Shi Chengtian, he had used the Eye of Ice Soul and long-range attacks to destroy him. If he had used the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye in this situation it would be less useful.


    Then again when using Taiyun Shuangzi who had a major flaw in his heart. Under the situation that their mental energy levels weren¡¯t much different Zhao Feng had won with one move by using the Eye of Heart.


    ¡°The four eye techniques are enough for me to deal with most opponents unless their mental energy level or strength far surpasses mine.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Above the ancient arena.


    The nine Sovereigns could only watch Taiyun Shuangzi die and do nothing.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering was controlled by the ancient arena itself.


    ¡°So unfortunate. If a person like that was able to become a Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm, his strength would be immeasurable. There¡¯s not a single Sovereign yet who has two people in one body.¡±


    A Sovereign sighed.


    Overwhelming prodigies usually only appeared once every couple generations and even though Taiyun Shuangzi like to kill, his fall still made the Sovereigns sigh.


    ¡°Taiyun Shuangzi¡¯s flaw in his heart is too big. If it wasn¡¯t gotten rid of, his chances of reaching the Origin Core Realm isn¡¯t very high and is more likely to end up being a slaughterer.¡±


    Yu Xingchen faintly shook his head.


    Strength was an aspect but sometimes will, state of heart also played a role and might be even more important than strength.


    Experts needed a heart of an expert. Only then would they be able to control the power of an expert.


    This was the connection between state of heart and cultivation therefore there was also a thing such as ¡®cultivating the heart.¡¯


    ¡°In terms of state of heart there¡¯s three people in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering who have almost no flaws.¡±


    The bronze skinned Deputy Palace Lord slowly spoke.


    ¡°Which three?¡±


    ¡°Yu Tianhao who has unparalleled belief and confidence; Xin Wuheng who is always as still as the water and Zhao Feng. His state of heart is always calm and never gives up even when in a desperate situation.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, the hearts of these three are all perfect.¡±


    The Sovereigns nodded their heads.


    If one person had the heart of an expert, they would become an expert sooner or later.


    Probably even Zhao Feng didn¡¯t expect that his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to have changed his inner heart as well as his body.


    Of the three that the Deputy Palace Lord mentioned Yu Tianhao and Zhao Feng were overwhelming prodigies and their battle power was highly ranked.


    Xin Wuheng was also at the quasi overwhelming prodigy level and could even maybe exchange a few moves with overwhelming prodigies.


    Within the bubble of light.


    With the fall of the old overwhelming prodigy, there was a rise in a new overwhelming prodigy.


    The current five were: Yu Tianhao, Shi Chengtian, Zhao Feng, Tantai Lanyue and Goddess Bing Wei and amongst them Yu Tianhao still had the most dragon blessing.


    After him was Shi Chengtian and Zhao Feng who were around equal.


    The lowest was Goddess Bing Wei as part of her dragon blessing had been taken by Zhao Feng during the first round.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you saved my life and I owe you a favour. This Stone Heart Jade pendant is my Shi family¡¯s treasure which I¡¯ll give to you. When one day you need help you can bring this to the Shi family and find me.¡±


    Shi Chengtian handed over an expensive looking jade pendant to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng took over the Stone Heart Jade Pendant and found that his senses in Heaven Earth Yuan Qi increased by a lot and it also had other uses. In terms of value it was probably close to a High Tier Spiritual grade weapon.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t decline such a thing.


    ¡°I might need helpers when I go back to the Thirteen Countries.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    After parting with Shi Chengtian Zhao Feng once again met up with Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye.


    The two still had traces of shock on their faces.


    Before they had departed to cause trouble for Taiyun Shuangzi they felt uneasy but in just one move Zhao Feng had forced Taiyun Shuangzi into a desperate situation.


    ¡°It¡¯s good that this monster died. Taiyun Shuangzi killed many people in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye felt satisfied.


    They had been almost killed by him before they didn¡¯t hand over their True Dragon Token.


    After finishing off Taiyun Shuangzi Zhao Feng and company went back to the river area to meet up with the three from the Heavenly Yuan Clan.


    Zhao Yufei was still consolidating her foundation and Mo Tianyi and the yellow faced man were still protecting her.


    At this moment the two didn¡¯t know that Taiyun Shuangzi had fallen and when they knew the truth their hearts shook.


    For the next few days.


    Zhao Feng and company didn¡¯t purposely find new targets.


    All of them had True Dragon Tokens and their dragon blessing was considerably strong.


    Of the five overwhelming prodigies.


    Yu Tianhao occasionally went out.


    Shi Chengtian was healing and Tantai Lanyue was also recovering as well as letting her spiritual pets rest.


    Zhao Feng was comprehending the battle between Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng.


    Only Goddess Bing Wei went out to hunt for more dragon blessing and increase her own.


    However.


    The dragon blessing of the five overwhelming prodigies was enormous and there wasn¡¯t many True Dragon Tokens left, meaning that it was hard to increase their dragon blessing.


    This was why Zhao Feng stopped hunting.


    He sat cross legged and closed his eyes while the scenery from that day replayed in his mind.


    ¡°Switching the Stars¡­ combination of mental energy, power and focus¡­. One with nature¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng had almost fully understood Switching the Stars especially since it was compatible with the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    After learning Switching the Stars Zhao Feng¡¯s defence was much stronger.


    Combination of mental energy, power and focus and one with nature could not only increase the use of one¡¯s potential it could also strengthen Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level and root of law.


    Zhao Feng had stepped into the path of combining mental energy, power and focus together.


    He had also touched the door of being one with nature and this made his mastery of using lightning higher.


    On the first day.


    Zhao Feng comprehended the combination of mental energy, power and focus and being one with nature. He felt as if his potential and mental energy level was both rising.


    On the second day.


    Zhao Feng successfully reached the highest level, the third floor of the Lightning Inheritance.


    ¡°According to the third floors¡¯ requirements, one needs the cultivation of the True Lord Rank to achieve this, but I actually succeeded!¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    The third floor of the lightning inheritance required a compatibility towards the heaven Earth Lightning Yuan Qi.


    Because Zhao Feng had comprehended combining mental energy, power and focus and being one with nature, he succeeded in reaching the third floor of the Lightning Inheritance.


    Every action and movement of the third floor was terrifying and the power of lightning reached an entire whole new level.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level kept on increasing and was comparable to the late stages of the True Mystic Rank, he still found it hard to use skills from the third floor of the Lightning Inheritance.


    ¡°What level of insights has that Xin Wuheng reached? If it weren¡¯t for his normal talent and no bloodline, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be only at the beginning stages of the True Mystic Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but think about Xin Wuheng.


    In the past Zhao Feng¡¯s talent was very average but that changed after receiving the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    He knew how slow that cultivation speed was.


    Time passed and on the seventh day inside the light.


    The number of True Dragon Tokens was decreasing and those without the tokens counterattacked and even formed alliances and pacts.


    The battles were extremely fierce but none of them reached the overwhelming prodigy level.


    Those at the overwhelming prodigy level had the battle power close to a True Lord Rank and using numbers was useless.


    Therefore.


    Zhao Feng and company were quiet.


    Until this day.


    The number of True Dragon Tokens decreased to one hundred.


    Weng~~~~~~~


    The bubble of light started to shake and gather the enormous amount of dragon blessing.


    The roars of a hundred dragons could be faintly heard.


    From above the ancient arena a hundred dragons could be seen and the most powerful five shining gold dragons were most than three yards long, forming a magnificent scene.


    Apart from another five quasi overwhelming prodigies, the remaining gold dragons were all under one yard tall.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The couple hundred geniuses without True Dragon Tokens disappeared from the bubble of light and were sent out.


    The remaining one hundred were the famed ¡®True Dragon Geniuses.¡¯

 379 Transferring across Space

    The number of True Dragon Geniuses every Sacred True Dragon Gathering was perfectly one hundred every time.


    Those that could be crowned a ¡®True Dragon Genius¡¯ was not only a glory, it also had a practical use - inheritances.


    Only True Dragon Geniuses, the strongest geniuses, have the right to enter the inheritances, therefore the True Dragon One hundred strong was a major difference.


    The top geniuses participating in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering all strived towards making the top one hundred, but it was very difficult.


    After all, there was a couple thousand geniuses participating in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and only one hundred was picked out. How competitive would it be?


    Shua Shua!


    The failed geniuses were sent out of the bubble of light leaving behind only one hundred.


    They were the chosen ones of the continent and True Dragons in the Heaven.


    Zhao Feng scanned the place with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and saw that a total of twenty-seven or eight from the Northern Continent had made it.


    The five continents together, East, West, South, Middle and North all only had one hundred spots in total and on average, every continent had twenty places.


    This meant that the Northern continent had did much better than before.


    There was quite a few that Zhao Feng knew. Xin Wuheng, Zhao Yufei, Mo Tianyi, Liu Qinxin, Cang Yuyue, Prince Jin, Wang Xiaoguai, Jiang Sanfeng and company.


    The unfortunate thing was that Bei Moi didn¡¯t make it past the first round hence had no fortune with the top hundred, so Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help him even if he wanted to.


    After picking the True Dragon One Hundred strong the ancient arena changed once again.


    Shua!


    The light on the ancient arena started to fade and was replaced by darkness.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    The hundred thousand spectators were all surprised.


    The entire ancient arena was pitch black and only the space within the bubble of light was bright.


    Weng~


    Within the bubble of light, the earth started to shake and immediately following after, the sky seemed to open.


    From this angle one could even see the inheritance shadowings in the sky and the surrounding stone statues.


    ¡°Can we now control the competition?¡±


    A Sovereign asked on the stage.


    ¡°No, the bubble of light will kick out everyone without dragon blessing.¡±


    The white bearded Sovereign shook his head and said after trying to.


    Ever since the second round of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, the Sacred Alliance had lost control over it.


    This was partially good and bad.


    The good thing was that no one could interfere with the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, meaning that it was extremely fair.


    The bad side was that there was a lot of casualties.


    For example, one overwhelming prodigy had died in this Sacred True Dragon Gathering. This was something that hadn¡¯t happened for dozens of generations.


    ¡°Where will the ancient arena take the Sacred True Dragon Gathering?¡±


    The Deputy Palace Lord murmured with excitement.


    Weng~


    The bubble of light started to rise from the pitch black ancient arena.


    ¡°Could it be¡­.¡±


    Sovereign Yun Xingchen¡¯s eyes flashed.


    The large bubble of light started to approach the inheritance shadowings in the sky and Zhao Feng found that the surrounding bubble of light started to fade.


    The earth, mountains and sky were getting smaller while they approached the inheritance shadowings.


    Through the clouds, scenery of what was within the inheritances could be seen. There were weird towers and even races they had never seen before even though the images were blurry.


    ¡°Mystic Ice Inheritance!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei stared at the inheritance shadowing with the most powerful aura with joy.


    From the start of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering till now, almost nine inheritances had appeared and the Mystic Ice Inheritance was the largest and overtook the others.


    The appearance of the Mystic Ice Inheritance was a blessing for those cultivating the Dao of Ice and Goddess Bing Wei was the strongest genius of Ice in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. She had even entered the Mystic Ice Inheritance before and so was experienced.


    At this point in time.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s bloodline and Qi of True Spirit seemed to feel a summoning from the Mystic Ice Inheritance.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and bloodline also felt this. After all, his bloodline was indeed more ice based.


    ¡°Looks like the Mystic Ice Inheritance is suitable for me.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    The Four Great Inheritances were all powerful and Zhao Feng could consider going into the Mystic Ice Inheritance, but he also specialised in the path of Lightning and Ancient Dao of Soul.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t certain if his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye would keep on evolving and turn into another element.


    This meant that entering the Mystic Ice Inheritance was risky.


    ¡°Now¡¯s not the time to consider this. Every Sacred True Dragon Gathering has three rounds and there should be one more.¡±


    Zhao Feng regained his calmness.


    Soon.


    The bubble of light disappeared, and a new arena appeared in the skies.


    The reason why it was new was because the dimensions were only of a smaller scale and looking from afar it seemed like a small island.


    Floating Arena!


    The hundred thousand spectators watching were stunned.


    From the beginning of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering till now the ancient arena had changed multiple times and at this moment the surrounding stone statues seemed to survey the arena.


    In the sky was the floating arena and above the floating arena was the inheritance shadowings.


    This scene pushed the Sacred True Dragon Gathering to a peak.


    A hundred True Dragon Geniuses were spread across the floating arena as they looked at the inheritance shadowings above.


    ¡°This last round is different from before.¡±


    ¡°In the past the third round would ranked first place, the top three, top ten etc¡±


    The Sovereigns looked at each other.


    ¡°Would there be no rules again? They¡¯re all chosen ones out of billions.¡±


    Discussion arose.


    The entire ancient arena was pitch black and only the floating arena, stone statues and inheritance shadowings could be seen.


    Amongst those the floating arena was the brightest and the stone statues were slightly dimmer, with the occasional weird flash.


    The inheritance shadowings were transparent and hard to see.


    Just as the people were guessing what was happening.


    Huang!


    The surrounding stone statues all swayed slightly.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on!?¡±


    The hundred thousand spectators were surprised.


    Weng~


    A near a hundred-yard-high statue suddenly glowed. That statue was in the shape of a large ape with three heads and six arms. It seemed to come alive at this moment and released an ancient old aura.


    Wu~~~


    A deep roar seemed to come from this large ape and even those at the Origin Core Realm felt a pressure.


    Shua!


    The near hundred-yard-high ape statue sent an ape figure into the floating arena.


    ¡°What a powerful aura. These stone statues are indeed not normal and seem to contain a mysterious power.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye caught sight of the ape figure.


    Shua!


    The ape figure landed in front of a youth of the True Dragon One hundred strong.


    Wang Xiaoguai!


    Those from the Canopy Great Country exclaimed.


    Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s True Dragon Token hummed and turned into a strong surge of True Dragon blessing that went into ape figure.


    The True Dragon Token cracked as all of its dragon blessing was eaten by the ape.


    Wu~~


    After eating the dragon blessing the ape figure shone and landed on Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s body.


    Roar~


    Wang Xiaoguai roared and pounded his fists on his chest as if he was possessed by a demon.


    His mental energy and battle intent surged and seemed to understand something.


    At this moment the aura from Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s body made the other True Dragon Geniuses¡¯ heart jump and feel a pressure.


    ¡°This is¡­. The power of transferring across space!¡±


    ¡°My Heavens, the legend is real. These stone statues all contain some intents left behind by some experts!¡±


    The Sovereigns watched this scene in shock and disbelief.


    Under the ape figure Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s battle power rose and his bloodline was ignited as he gave off a terrifying aura.


    Boom!


    Wang Xiaoguai waved his gold and silver stick and immediately made the nearby True Dragon Geniuses cough out blood.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­...!??¡±


    These True Dragon Geniuses exclaimed.


    Of the one hundred Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s ranking and strength was towards the back and the nearby geniuses were all ranked higher than Wang Xiaoguai but sent flying by one stick


    Wu~


    Another two stone statues cast their figures. One was a black armoured god and the other a snake tailed yao beast.


    Shua Shua!


    Two giant figures landed into the ancient arena and the True Dragon Geniuses all revealed expectant expressions.


    These figure casts represented being looked well upon by ancient experts and would choose to help the selected geniuses.


    Soon two other geniuses received the power of the ancient experts and their battle strength rose.


    At the same time.


    Many stone statues gave off lights, roared, howled¡­. Different types of powers travelled between the ancient arena.


    Soon.


    Almost ten figure casts and ascended onto their respective geniuses and one of them was a goddess with a fan that landed onto Liu Qinxin. The latter¡¯s eyes were closed, and the music of ancient times seemed to play in her eyes.


    The power of transferring across space could make any geniuses¡¯ battle power rise dramatically within a short amount of time and even be comparable to the overwhelming prodigy level.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly sensed something, and several magnificent stone statues lit up and seemed to ¡®look¡¯ at him.


    These stone statues were all at least a hundred yards tall and bigger than the previous ones. They seemed to be trying to communicate with Zhao Feng and await his response.

 380 Choice

    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering welcomed its most glorious generation.


    The mysterious and ancient arena had become filled with incredible power after being activated by the large amount of dragon blessing and battle intent.


    The transferring across space had extended to this generation of stars!


    The hearts of the nine Sovereigns shook slightly as their eyes became filled with excitement.


    At this point in time.


    They looked at the stone statues with respect.


    The stone statues ranged from dozens of yards to hundreds of yards.


    Every one of them was of a different shape. Beasts, humans, birds¡­. They seemed to come from ancient times and surveyed every movement within the ancient arena.


    The tallest ten Sky Stone Statues were close to a thousand yards and seemed to exist with the heavens. They had different expressions. Some were expressionless while others smiled wickedly¡­. As if telling a tale.


    These thousands of stone statues formed a stone statue mountain that surrounded the ancient arena.


    ¡°These stone statues seemed to be experts or even gods from ancient times. Their owners have most likely fallen but their mental energy still lives on.¡±


    ¡°The skills of the ancient experts are unfathomable and can send their mental energy across time.¡±


    The Sovereigns¡¯ respect came the bottom of their hearts.


    Every one of these stone statues represented a tale.


    At this instance.


    About one hundred stone statues were flashing.


    However, the ten tallest ¡®Sky Stone Statues¡¯ had no reaction.


    ¡°These ten ¡®Sky Stone statues¡¯ seems to come from the ancient era or might be gods from that time. However, after the ancient battle, the continent shattered and ended their era¡­.¡±


    Sovereign Yu Xingchen looked at the ten Sky Stone Statues with a certain emotion.


    These ten Sky Stone statues seemed to exist with the Heavens and Earth. Maybe the geniuses on the ancient arena weren''t enough for them to descend.


    On the floating arena.


    More and more geniuses received the power of transferring across space and their faces were filled with understanding.


    Many had their bloodlines ignited such as Wang Xiaoguai.


    Those with purer and more ancient bloodlines had a higher chance of resonance with the stone statues.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt two or three intents come from three magnificent stone statues.


    The first was about one hundred yards high and was a three-headed snake lord that floated in the sky. His snake eyes flashed with purple and looked brutal.


    The second was an ancient armored lightning war god holding a mace about one hundred and fifty yards tall.


    The third was an ice goddess surrounded by snow and ice.


    The power of transferring across space of these three was much stronger than most others.


    Zhao Feng could feel their summoning and compatibility.


    According to Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s analysis, how welcomed they were depended on their bloodline as well the strength of dragon blessing.


    For example, Yu Tianhao had four to five stone statues try to interact with him.


    Shi Chengtian and Zhao Feng both sensed three whereas Tantai Lanyue and Goddess Bing Wei had two.


    The remaining geniuses all only had one and some didn¡¯t even have any.


    Of course, only Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see this. Others such as Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng couldn¡¯t.


    ¡°Which one?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t make a decision and most other overwhelming prodigies hadn¡¯t either since the aura coming from the stone statues were getting stronger and more and more started to awaken.


    Roar!


    Shi Chengtian shouted and a two-hundred-yard-tall dragon elephant figure casts descended upon him. The powerful aura instantly pressured the other nearby figure casts.


    ¡°What a powerful transfer of space.¡±


    Zhao Feng was far away but he could feel his body become heavy and breathing become hard. It was as if he was an ant facing a desolate beast.


    After receiving the transfer of space, the geniuses¡¯ battle power rose rapidly within a short amount of time and some even broke through.


    For example, Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s bloodline was ignited and he reached the True Mystic Rank.


    Liu Qinxin had a goddess with a Qin behind her and her eyes were closed as an ancient tune played, causing her aura to rise.


    ¡°The power of the Qin is helping her form her root of law.¡±


    Zhao Feng was secretly surprised.


    Similar situations could be seen across the floating arena but most broke through in cultivation or bloodline.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. The power of the ancient dragon and elephant.¡±


    Shi Chengtian exclaimed as a wild power surged from him and a cast of dragon and elephant rose from behind him, allowing him to comprehend the power of dragon and elephant.


    In this period of time, Shi Chengtian¡¯s physical attributes doubled and an invisible force made the nearby geniuses cough out blood.


    Even Tantai Lanyue and Goddess Bing Wei kept a distance from Shi Chengtian.


    His strength had now surpassed all the other overwhelming prodigies and could send one flying with one fist.


    At this point in time.


    Different figures would descend onto True Dragon Geniuses and the dragon blessing of the ancient arena became stronger.


    These figures would absorb the dragon blessing and become one with them, supporting each other.


    After Shi Chengtian Tantai Lanyue and Goddess Bing Wei all chose their respective stone statues and their battle power rose to another level.


    Once overwhelming prodigies received the power of transferring across space, their battle power was definitely able to reach the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°What a crazy generation. Although the power of transferring across space is momentary, these True Dragon Genius will improve rapidly after.¡±


    ¡°This Sacred True Dragon Gathering is terrifying, and this batch of geniuses will definitely be able to change the continent.¡±


    The Sovereigns on the stage sighed.


    ¡°Hmm, some top geniuses still haven¡¯t received the power of transferring across space.¡±


    The Green Moon Sovereign realised.


    In the floating arena, a small number of people such as Zhao Feng, Yu Tianhao, Zhao Yufei and Xin Wuheng hadn¡¯t chosen a stone statue yet.


    Amongst them Yu Tianhao, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei had many choices, so they were most likely thinking which one to take.


    ¡°Weird, Xin Wuheng¡¯s only received the interaction of one stone statue but why isn¡¯t he choosing it?¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced at Xin Wuheng. He felt as if the latter knew more secrets than him.


    Yu Tianhao and Zhao Yufei all received the communication of four or five intents.


    Yu Tianhao was the number one genius and his dragon blessing was the highest as well but Zhao Yufei was still a bit off an overwhelming prodigy yet the number of communications she received was the same as Yu Tianhao.


    ¡°Could it be Yufei¡¯s bloodline is even rarer than Yu Tianhao¡¯s??¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised.


    After that.


    Zhao Feng inspected Xin Wuheng.


    Xin Wuheng didn¡¯t bother interacting with the intent that tried to communicate with him and his eyes instead flashed as he released his intent to try and interact with the highest ten Sky Stone Statues.


    The ten Sky Stone Statues stood out amongst the others but were all dim and had no reactions.


    Xin Wuheng first started with the highest nine hundred and ninety-nine-yard-tall statue, but there was no reaction.


    The second nine hundred plus yard statue also didn¡¯t react.


    The third nine hundred yard plus statue didn¡¯t react.


    These ten Sky Stone Statues were dead silent and had no auras, but Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could feel the power within them.


    This meant that it wasn¡¯t as if the ten Sky Stone Statues wouldn¡¯t descend their intents, it was just that they wouldn¡¯t descend by themselves.


    ¡°These Sky Stone Statues won¡¯t descend so Xin Wuheng went up to them instead.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.


    But would Xin Wuheng succeed?


    Xin Wuheng had reached the fifth tallest stone statue but it didn¡¯t react as well.


    These Sky Stone Statues were all proud and even the overwhelming prodigies in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering might be nothing to them. At least they wouldn¡¯t descend their intents themselves.


    ¡°If they have the power of transferring across space that means they can descend but depends on if they¡¯re willing or not. Maybe they do have their targets but needed these ones to go to them.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved, and his eyes lit up.


    At this moment in time, Yu Tianhao and Zhao Yufei both picked a two to three-hundred-yard-tall stone statue whose power of transferring across space had surpassed Shi Chengtian and the other overwhelming prodigies.


    With Yu Tianhao¡¯s proudness, he wouldn¡¯t have thought that the tallest Sky Stone Statues needed them to go and try interacting with it, not the other way around.


    The reason he waited for a while was to see if the Sky Stone Statues descended but seeing that they didn¡¯t, he gave up.


    As for Zhao Yufei, she didn¡¯t have Yu Tianhao¡¯s powerful martial intent or Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye so didn¡¯t know anything.


    However, their power of transferring across space was still stronger than the others.


    When Zhao Yufei and Yu Tianhao chose their respective power of transferring across space a couple of the ten Sky Stone Statues seemed to sigh and become dimmer.


    Yu Tianhao seemed to sense something and his expression changed but he didn¡¯t regret his choice.


    He had a powerful belief and his line of sight would miss some chances.


    ¡°Will Xin Wuheng succeed?¡±


    Zhao Feng found that Xin Wuheng kept on trying to interact with the ten Sky Stone Statues and no matter how many times he failed, he remained calm.


    Zhao Feng thought that Xin Wuheng¡¯s chance of success wasn¡¯t high.


    Firstly, he didn¡¯t have a bloodline and secondly, his dragon blessing wasn¡¯t as much as an overwhelming prodigy.


    ¡°Let me win.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt competitive and sent a wisp of his mental energy intent to try and interact with one of the Ten Sky Stone Statues.

 381 Crushed by One Foo

    The ten Sky Stone Statues were pitch black and like ten gods that suppressed the demons and monsters in the mountains.


    When Zhao Yufei and Yu Tianhao chose their own power of transferring across space, these Sky Stone Statues became dimmer.


    Amongst them the first and second one had no light within them and seemed to be in deep sleep.


    Those that could be named as a Sky Stone Statue were all at least six hundred yards tall.


    The first three had all reached over nine hundred yards and the remaining seven were around seven to eight hundred yards.


    Since the first and second stone statues had no light at all, Zhao Feng aimed for the third but there was no reaction.


    That stone statue had a sharp elegant mental energy intent that seemed to disdainful to descend upon an ant.


    ¡°Is my talent that bad compared to Yu Tianhao and Zhao Yufei?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t give up and then tried the fourth stone statue.


    Failed.


    Fifth, no reaction.


    Failed time after time¡­.


    Zhao Feng felt extremely bad.


    Accordingly, he had the dragon blessing of an overwhelming prodigy and extraordinary bloodline that was at least an ancient bloodline. His chances of success were much higher than Xin Wuheng¡¯s.


    Only the ninth and tenth stone statues reacted a little bit but when they the intents of the two touched Zhao Feng¡¯s, they became dead silent and didn¡¯t react.


    After meeting so many failures, even Zhao Feng felt defeated. However, thinking about how Xin Wuheng had also failed, he felt balanced.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and looked at the Sky Stone Statues with a solemn expression.


    At this point in time.


    Of the five overwhelming prodigies Yu Tianhao, Shi Chengtian, Goddess Bing Wei and Tantai Lanyue had all received their power of transferring across space.


    Over half of the True Dragon One Hundred strong had gained this glory.


    Being an overwhelming prodigy, Zhao Feng¡¯s every action raised attention.


    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t Zhao Feng still received an intent?¡±


    The eyes of a couple True Dragon Geniuses twinkled and revealed gloating expressions.


    That¡¯s right.


    Zhao Feng was a miraculous star that had risen step by step and stole the lights of other geniuses.


    Who knew how many people were jealous of him.


    ¡°The strength of many first-tier geniuses have reached the overwhelming prodigy level after receiving this power of transferring across space.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, if this Zhao Feng doesn¡¯t get anything his strength will probably drop out of the top twenty.¡±


    Many geniuses watched Zhao Feng¡¯s every action and seeing his expression, some even guessed that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t receive the interaction of any stone statues.


    ¡°Hmph, this Zhao Feng relied on shameless methods to gain the position of an overwhelming prodigy and now won¡¯t receive any intent. This is karma.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s face was filled with coldness and mockery.


    Behind her was a large ice goddess that was above an ice lotus and gave off a chilling coldness.


    Everything within a mile radius of Goddess Bing Wei was frozen and just her ice domain was enough to injure normal True Spirit Realm¡¯s.


    She didn¡¯t know that the figure cast she had had been considered by Zhao Feng before, but he didn¡¯t want it.


    ¡°Everyone get out of my way.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei shouted and turned into a block of ice that sped towards Zhao Feng¡¯s direction.


    Wherever she went, a chilling coldness would spill out and the other True Dragon Geniuses would move out of the way.


    Although many of them had received the power of transferring across space and their strength rose quite a lot, the overwhelming prodigies¡¯ power of transferring across space was even stronger and could instantly defeat normal True Dragon Geniuses.


    Shua!


    One or two reacted too late and was touched by a cold current.


    Shew Shew!


    The two froze and wanted to say something but found that they were all completely frozen and couldn¡¯t move. Even the figures behind them were frozen.


    ¡°Overwhelming prodigies are overwhelming prodigies in the end.¡±


    ¡°No one under the True Lord Rank can probably block Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s power of ice.¡±


    Many geniuses looked towards Goddess Bing Wei with respect and wary.


    ¡°Not good her targets Brother Zhao Feng!¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s expression changed as she sped off in the air like a sparrow.


    After receiving the power of transferring across space Zhao Yufei¡¯s mental energy level and comprehension of skill had broken through. Her cultivation had now reached the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    In terms of speed Zhao Yufei wasn¡¯t any slower than Goddess Bing Wei.


    Qiu Qiu!


    Two beauties sped off in Zhao Feng¡¯s direction at the same time and this scene made the other True Dragon Geniuses stunned.


    Everyone could sense Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s killing intent.


    Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s enmity had started in the first round and extended up to now.


    After receiving the power of transferring across space Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s strength increased substantially and if she really wanted to kill Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng would be in danger.


    ¡°I failed again. The intent of the third stone statue is becoming weaker and will soon fade.¡±


    Zhao Feng stared at the stone statues but failed once more.


    Right at this moment.


    Zhao Feng felt a cold killing intent that froze his heart.


    Looking around he saw Goddess Bing Wei charge over with her figure that unleashed ice everywhere.


    ¡°Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s strength has doubled. If she comes over I might not be able to withstand three moves.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart clenched and decided to try one last time.


    If this failed again Zhao Feng would have to choose from the other stone statues.


    At this point in time Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy, power and focus combined and entered a mystical state.


    ¡°Combination of mental energy, power and focus. One with nature.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s aura seemed to be one with the Heaven and Earth.


    Immediately following that he placed all his energy on his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye then used his strongest mental energy intent to try and interact with the Sky Stone Statues.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly sped up and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s aura was also unleashed.


    At that instant every bloodline genius within the floating arena including Goddess Bing Wei who was closing in felt their bloodline tremble.


    Goddess Bing Wei was surprised but didn¡¯t put it to heart and continued charging towards the unmoving Zhao Feng.


    In her sight the blue haired youth who was originally a dot started to get bigger.


    She was getting closer.


    ¡°The aura from the ancient era¡­. Could it be¡­.?¡±


    An ancient cold voice sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind with surprise.


    If anyone was paying attention they would realise that the fading aura of the third stone statue suddenly rose again.


    The third Sky Stone Statue was an expert of a different race clad in black scales. His eyes were blue and like a bottomless hole. He held an azure dragon halberd and stood on a demonic dragon made of black fumes. Around him was a burning flame that gave off a black smoke.


    Looking from afar he seemed like a lord from Hell as he surveyed the skies.


    Weng~


    This demon lord of hell suddenly gave off a light and seemed to walk out of limitless darkness.


    At this instant, countless auras from the stone statues froze and seemed to bow down to him.


    At the same time Zhao Feng successfully interact with the lord of hell¡¯s mental energy intent.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­. No wonder. Although the great ancient era has ended, the power of desolate bloodlines continue with the existence of the universe. Even¡­. This? To be able to fight with a being like this is my glory.¡±


    A dominant voice sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Come.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt Goddess Bing Wei was within one mile of him and couldn¡¯t drag it out any longer.


    Although he knew that the lord of hell stone statue might have ¡®thought¡¯ that he was someone else, as long as he received the power of transferring across space, he was happy to be so.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you bastard, die---¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei exclaimed, and her hands created an ice phoenix that froze everything within one mile.


    In that instant everything within a one-mile radius became a world of ice.


    The terrifying coldness made the geniuses including some of the older generation moved.


    ¡°Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s battle power is even slightly stronger than the early stage True Lord Rank right now.¡±


    ¡°What kind of beings were the owners of these stone statues?¡±


    Everyone watching was surprised at Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s strength.


    Shuu!


    Zhao Feng felt a coldness wrap around his legs and his blood almost froze.


    Right at this time.


    Huang!


    A nine hundred plus yard figure cast descended onto the floating arena.


    The magnificent figure was like a lord of hell that released black fumes and stood on a demonic dragon. Fumes of black smoke blotted out the sky.


    ¡°My god¡­ what kind of being is that¡­.¡±


    ¡°The owner of this stone statue might have been a god in ancient times.¡±


    The hearts of the Sovereigns on the stage jumped.


    Many geniuses on the floating arena were unable to breathe and the figures behind them trembled.


    ¡°That that that is...¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei charged over and directed a stream of ice towards Zhao Feng.


    Although her attack had been sent out it was stopped by a powerful demonic aura that didn¡¯t even give her the idea to resist.


    ¡°Fuck off!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt as if a mysterious power had been added onto him and instantly melted the ice on him.


    Bam!


    In a flash Zhao Feng had kicked Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s stomach and the latter spat out a mouthful of blood as she was sent flying.


    A blur flashed before she landed.


    Boom!


    A blue haired youth descended from the sky and crushed her under his feet like a demonic god.

 382 Inheritance Connection

    Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed just then was so fast that some True Lord Ranks couldn¡¯t even see him move.


    Goddess Bing Wei was in a daze.


    The mental energy intent from that Sky Stone Statue was incredibly powerful and although the owner had fallen, the remaining intent of it had still given Zhao Feng a mysterious power.


    Every one of the stone statues represented a myth, a tale, a legend.


    Amongst them there was several tiers ranging from dozens of yards to a hundred yards and three hundred yards another.


    The tallest Sky Stone Statues reached almost one thousand yards and when the owners were alive, their power was immeasurable. Even when they had fallen, they could still descend through the passage of space and time.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure cast was without a doubt one of the strongest.


    The black scaled, demon like giant shadow figure behind him made the other figures nearby tremble.


    For example, Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s ice goddess figure kept on shaking and the power she could utilise was decreased significantly.


    ¡°Ridiculous, this bastard¡­.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s face was filled with humiliation. When she looked up it was the middle of the blue haired youths legs and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even care about her. Instead understanding flashed in his eyes as he stood still.


    The power of transferring of space contained information and power which was hundreds or thousands of times more profound than his Lightning Inheritance.


    The thing was that this information and power was locked onto the genius¡¯ they descended upon so no matter how profound it was the geniuses could comprehend a tiny bit of it.


    ¡°What a powerful will, battle skill and use of strength¡­..¡±


    Zhao Feng had only touched this information and was stunned.


    However, this Sky Stone Statue¡¯s element wasn¡¯t the most compatible with Zhao Feng but its power and aura could still help Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy state.


    In just a short while Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level had increased by leaps and bounds and closed in on the peak True Mystic Rank.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, the freezing pond had started to melt and a ripple of water extended to two point nine yards.


    The size of the freezing pond was connected to Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level.


    The True Human Rank level was within one yard, True Mystic Rank within three yards and after three yards should be the mental energy level of the True Lord Rank.


    Zhao Feng felt that his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had a close aura with the Sky Stone Statue figure behind him, as if they came from the same aura.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you shameless bastard¡­..¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei bit her lips with humiliation and actually burnt her Qi of True Spirit as she charged towards Zhao Feng while burning with an ice flame.


    Burning her Qi of True Spirit!


    Zhao Feng jumped up in fright. The ice flame gave him the feeling that it could destroy the life within his two legs.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s foot smacked onto Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s face and her perfect figure was sent flying another dozen of yards as she spat out a mouthful of blood in midair.


    When Goddess Bing Wei landed on the ground her jade like face had a red foot mark on it and it burned.


    The True Dragon Geniuses on the floating arena were shocked.


    They had seen the overwhelming prodigy Goddess Bing Wei been stepped upon by Zhao Feng then smacked right in the face.


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the Mystic Ice Palace¡¯s strength, I would¡¯ve killed her already.¡±


    Zhao Feng was feeling frustrated and a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes.


    Goddess Bing Wei burning her Qi of True Spirit and creating that ice flame gave him a dangerous feeling.


    ¡°Bing Wei, don¡¯t be rash!¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen outside the ancient arena exclaimed.


    She had seen the killing intent flash in Zhao Feng¡¯s face and if it weren¡¯t for the fact that the latter was calm and hadn¡¯t lost his mind, Goddess Bing Wei wouldn¡¯t have just ended up in this state.


    At this moment in time.


    The gaze of the crowd landed upon him and the nine hundred plus yards Sky Stone Statue figure behind him as it stood out amongst the others.


    The other True Dragon Geniuses¡¯ stone shadow figure was only dozens of yards or a hundred yards.


    Even Yu Tianhao and Zhao Yufei¡¯s were only two to three hundred yards high.


    This meant that the amount of benefit gained by Zhao Feng was far more than the others.


    ¡°Could this Zhao Feng reach first place?¡±


    A few spectators couldn¡¯t help but say.


    Across the floating arena Zhao Feng¡¯s aura, dragon blessing and stone statue figure seemed to suppress this generation and even some of the Sovereigns were curious as whether Zhao Feng could move Yu Tianhao¡¯s position.


    ¡°Maybe. This Sacred True Dragon Gathering is extremely weird and the last round¡¯s aim isn¡¯t for the rankings.¡±


    The bronze skinned Deputy Palace Lord said and started to think.


    ¡°Zhao Feng? You indeed didn¡¯t disappoint me.¡±


    Yu Tianhao laughed instead of being sullen.


    The blood within him seemed to boil and a powerful battle intent surged from him that merged with the three hundred yard high figure behind him.


    Although the figure behind Yu Tianhao wasn¡¯t as powerful as Zhao Feng¡¯s, his mental energy level and belief allowed him to be more compatible with the power of transferring across space and hence had higher control.


    Alone in the Heaven¡¯s!


    Yu Tianhao flew over and forced all the nearby geniuses to retreat.


    In terms of will and intent, he surpassed the strongest sword intent in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering by more than ten times.


    With just that intent alone he could injure geniuses at the first tier.


    At this point in time Tantai Lanyue, Shi Chengtian, Goddess Bing Wei and company were all stunned.


    No one would have thought Yu Tianhao¡¯s true strength was this strong and had the ability to wipe out everything in his path.


    There was no way to defend against it and he used unparalleled offense to crush everyone in his path.


    Facing that confident belief Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook and was almost pressured by the opponent.


    ¡°This era¡¯s new overwhelming prodigy - come and fight!!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the Sky Stone Statue behind him give him a dominant power.


    Weng~


    At the same time an ice throne and figure appeared behind Zhao Feng.


    This time there was a crown on the figure and he held a black sword.


    With the power of transferring across space Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline had obviously strengthened.


    Ice Lightning Raging Dragon!


    Zhao Feng exclaimed and as his blue hair blew, the surrounding world became enveloped in lighting and ice that was enough to kill normal True Mystic Ranks.


    A chaotic dragon was formed from ice and lightning and seemed to be somewhat similar to the black demonic dragon under the stone statue figure but the power of ice and lightning from it was more chaotic.


    Alone in the Heavens! Ice Lightning Raging Dragon!


    The two terrifying powers clashed and almost came close to the peak True Lord Rank power as it bashed heavily and sent airwaves across four or five yards.


    ¡°Ahhhh!¡±


    Screams came from the floating arena as some unlucky geniuses were killed or injured from the clash of these two.


    The exchange between the two supreme prodigies made the other True Dragon Geniuses dumbfounded as they quickly evaded.


    The ancient arena¡¯s spectating stand broke out into discussion.


    After taking a hit from Yu Tianhao head on Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was forced back dozens of yards and he forcefully pushed the blood in his throat back down.


    His cultivation and foundation was after all, lower than Yu Tianhao¡¯s and if it weren¡¯t for the advantage of transferring across space, he wouldn¡¯t be only lightly injured.


    Teng!


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s figure retreated and his body became icy numb, unable to attack the second time.


    At this point in time the two both felt that their opponent was troublesome and faced one another but none of them made a move.


    ¡°Zhao Feng has reached the step where he can clash head on with Yu Tianhao.¡±


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s heart churned.


    Countless True Dragon Geniuses on the floating arena pulled away from Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao, scared that they would be injured by them.


    Weng~


    A weird tremble and powerful transferring across space suddenly interrupted Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao.


    The seventh statue of the ten Sky Stone statues descended a seven hundred yard figure onto Xin Wuheng.


    ¡°Hehe, even that guy¡¯s come out. I¡¯ll loosen my bones as well.¡±


    A laugh sounded in Xin Wuheng¡¯s head.


    Behind Xin Wuheng was a purple robed daoist with a purple cloud flame above his head and an unknown flaming bull below his feet.


    Success.


    Xin Wuheng finally revealed a rare joyful expression. Under normal situations he had no talent and bloodline so it was hard for him to interact and communicate with the ten Sky Stone statues.


    However, with Zhao Feng leading the way, he finally managed to communicate with one.


    When Xin Wuheng received the power of transferring across space, the situation on the floating arena changed once more.


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s aura rose to a level not much weaker than Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao but was still much stronger than the normal overwhelming prodigies.


    ¡°Three way?¡±


    The Sovereigns on the stage looked with interest.


    The bronze skinned Deputy Palace Lord murmured: ¡°This third round doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s determining the rankings but is more of a blessing. What will happen next?¡±


    As he was thinking the floating arena suddenly changed.


    Wu~


    An inheritance shadowing had the signs of condensing and extended a door towards the ancient arena.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? How come the inheritance is connecting so quickly?¡±


    ¡°The Sacred True Dragon Gathering hasn¡¯t ended yet but an inheritance has connected.¡±


    The ancient arena broke out into chaos.


    ¡°I see, the rankings are basically decided by the dragon blessing from the second round and this round is about the competition to enter the inheritances.¡±


    The Deputy Palace Lord realised.

 383 Seven Sword Inheritance

    A few more than a dozen inheritance shadowings had appeared above the ancient arena.


    One of them had started to condense and within its scenery palaces and beasts could be faintly seen.


    Weng~


    A shining door came from this inheritance shadowing and connected onto the ancient arena.


    Said more precisely, connected onto the floating arena.


    With a ¡®pop¡¯, a staircase wide enough for one person appeared on the floating arena and connected to the shining door.


    The end of the staircase was the shining door and this scene make the spectators surprised.


    ¡°What? The inheritances have already started to connect?¡±


    Many True Dragon Geniuses including Zhao Feng were surprised.


    They had originally thought that they still needed to undergo some fights before the inheritances connected yet in this Sacred True Dragon Gathering, the ancient arena had taken control, and everything became unpredictable.


    ¡°So fast! The Heavens Legacy Inheritance hasn¡¯t appeared yet.¡±


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s expression changed slightly as he stared at the sky.


    The inheritances had started to connect but the Heavens Legacy Inheritance didn¡¯t appear, and many people felt slightly regretful.


    However, thinking about it any one of the four Great Inheritances only appeared once every thousand years and this Sacred True Dragon Gathering, the Scarlet Moon Inheritance and Mystic Ice Inheritance had appeared although the former had been stolen.


    At this instance the True Dragon Geniuses held their breaths as they stared at the door.


    The staircase started to extend and finally connected with the door. Looking at it with the naked eye the staircase and door both seemed to be something between physical and the void.


    ¡°This is the Northern Stair Inheritance and is not bad out of the Inheritances that have appeared. It¡¯s at least better than the ones the Ten Great Clans control.¡±


    ¡°It is slightly regretful that the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance didn¡¯t appear, but nothing is certain until the last moment.¡±


    The Sovereigns on the stage discussed with twinkling eyes.


    In this generations Sacred True Dragon Gathering, records of all sorts had been broken.


    Although the Heavens Legacy Inheritance hadn¡¯t appeared, the future was still bright.


    ¡°Quick!¡±


    ¡°Although it¡¯s not one of the Four Great Inheritances, the number of those that can enter those ones are limited and we won¡¯t be able to enter.¡±


    A few True Dragon Geniuses exclaimed on the floating arena and charged towards the Northern Stairs Inheritance.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    At the beginning there was two or three but reached over a dozen in the end.


    One genius charged onto the stairs and ran towards the shining door.


    Shu! Shu!


    Two True Dragon Geniuses passed through the shining door but passed straight through it and stood dazed.


    Shua!


    The genius who had ran from the stairs successfully entered the door and with a ¡®Weng¡¯, disappeared.


    ¡°So, you have to enter by the stairs.¡±


    The geniuses behind realised then all started charging towards the staircase, but the staircase could only fit one person at once and they needed to walk steadily so they could be ¡®converted¡¯ and ¡®accepted¡¯ into the inheritance.


    At this point tens of True Dragon Geniuses fought one another to go on this path.


    Snow Sun Scorching Air!


    Cruel Nine Moon Blade!


    Ghostly Spatial Technique!


    One True Dragon Genius after another used their skills or techniques and aimed towards the ¡®lone path¡¯ that led to the inheritance door.


    Just thinking about how the staircase was one person wide but over a dozen geniuses were competing for it made one cold.


    Swords, blade lights, palm, lightning, wind and even figures from stone statues shook the place near the staircase.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    One True Dragon Geniuses body was ripped into pieces and he was killed, and two others fell severely injured.


    Emotionless slaughter.


    In just a while these True Dragon Geniuses had red eyes. This was ten thousand times crueller than any other competition.


    ¡°The last round is to make the True Dragon Geniuses fight one another to see who can enter the inheritance. Everything is based on skill and there¡¯s no rules.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Of course, there was only a bit over a dozen True Dragon Geniuses fighting right now and many others were waiting.


    The five overwhelming prodigies or first tier geniuses had higher targets and wanted to enter better inheritances or even the Four Great Inheritances.


    Around half the time it took to make tea later.


    The Northern Stairs Inheritances¡¯ door started to fade and finally disappeared.


    ¡°Five spots? No, while these people fought the energy sustaining the Northern Stairs Inheritance would also be expended.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were accurate.


    Every time someone entered the door, it¡¯s light would dim down and become more unstable.


    Plus, as time passed, the shining door would also use energy.


    The number of spots was limited, and Zhao Feng found it hard to imagine how many geniuses would fall to enter an inheritance.


    Weng~


    As the Northern Stairs inheritance disappeared another inheritance shadowing connected with the floating arena.


    Since they were more experienced this time there was ten to twenty people waiting.


    Screams, howls and the sounds of battle filled this area.


    At this moment the competition was mainly between the True Dragon Geniuses with lower ranks, after rank 50 or so.


    The five overwhelming prodigies and first tier geniuses didn¡¯t move.


    In just a moments time two to three had successfully entered the second inheritance and the shining door faded by over half.


    At this point in time a sharp figure arrived in the clouds and seemed to have the ability to pierce into space and time.


    The True Dragon Geniuses felt their hearts jump and as if their hearts had been pierced by ten thousand swords.


    They couldn¡¯t help but look towards the sky and faintly saw a Heavenly Sword Pavilion that gave off rays of sword light.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­. The Seven Sword Inheritance!¡±


    The nine Sovereigns on the stage exclaimed as they revealed looks of joy.


    The Seven Sword Inheritance was ranked second out of the four great inheritances, only below the Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    Wu~~


    When the Seven Sword Inheritance descended it immediately pushed the inheritance that was connecting over.


    Boom!


    The connecting inheritance started to fade and then disappeared from the ancient arena.


    ¡°What a dominant Seven Sword Inheritance. It just destroyed another inheritance.¡±


    The True Dragon Geniuses below watched with surprise and their blood began to boil.


    Sou! Shua! Shua!


    Just as the Seven Sword Inheritance twenty to thirty True Dragon Inheritance, most of them cultivating in the Dao of the Sword furiously charged over.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Fuck off!¡±


    ¡°Those that stop me shall die!¡±


    Twenty to thirty True Dragon Geniuses battled chaotically. It was a terrifying scene.


    After receiving the power of transferring across space these True Dragon Geniuses all had at least the strength of a True Mystic Rank and most of them were at the early stages or higher.


    Amongst them was Xia Xianshang and Cang Yuyue.


    Ding Ding Shu Shu---


    Sword lights flashed, and mountains were sliced into ashes. If a normal True Human Rank came by they would be ripped into shreds like a piece of paper.


    ¡°The offense of those training the Dao of the Sword is terrifying. These twenty to thirty combined can even kill an overwhelming prodigy.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    He surveyed the Seven Sword Inheritance and started to think.


    The Seven Sword Inheritance was ranked above the Scarlet Moon Inheritance and Mystic Ice Inheritance.


    ¡°If I¡¯m to get the essence of the Seven Sword Inheritance my offense will be devastating and can slash ten thousand skills with one sword¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng was somewhat moved.


    With his comprehension ability it wasn¡¯t impossible for him to train the Dao of the Sword.


    But this thought was soon vanquished by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°My core is the Dao of the Soul. This is the best supplement for the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. Although the Dao of the Sword is strong it focuses on offense and has weak defence.¡±


    Zhao Feng gave up this thought.


    This world had many powers and techniques. Your offense could be strong, but it couldn¡¯t help your weaknesses.


    For example, Goddess Bing Wei and Shi Chengtian were the bane of Sword cultivators. They both had strong defence and Goddess Bing Wei would be able to freeze her opponent before they got close. Shi Chengtian could use his Gravity Domain and immediately pressure the opponent so that they couldn¡¯t even use fifty percent of their full strength.


    The competition for the Seven Sword Inheritance was fiery hot.


    The geniuses training the Sword wasn¡¯t limited to Cang Yuyue and Xia Xianshang. There were other opponents that were even stronger than them.


    Even Tuoba Qi from one of the three eye families entered the competition.


    ¡°If I¡¯m able to receive the core of the Seven Sword Inheritance and merge it with my Heavenly Piercing Eye even overwhelming prodigies might not be my match.¡±


    Tuoba Qi¡¯s eyes flashed, and an invisible pierce would slash the opponents throat.


    Shua!


    Tuoba Qi was the first to step into the Seven Sword Inheritance.


    ¡°Sister Yuyue, your talent in the Dao of Sword is better than mine. I¡¯ll block them, you go in first.¡±


    Xia Xianshang burnt his Qi of True Spirit and blocked the nearby True Dragon Geniuses with an arc of brilliant sword light.


    However, this meant he would also be attacked by several other geniuses of the sword and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Shua!


    Cang Yuyue looked gratefully at Xia Xianshang before stepping into the Seven Sword Inheritance. Xia Xianshang was severely injured as many of the geniuses attacking him had comprehended the sword intent.


    Weng~


    The door of the Seven Sword Inheritance closed. It wasn¡¯t that there wasn¡¯t enough energy, it had just automatically closed.


    ¡°There¡¯s only two spots for the Seven Sword Inheritance!¡±


    The geniuses fighting below roared in unwillingness as they watched one of the Four Great Inheritances, the Seven Sword Inheritance, pass by them.

 384 Zhao Feng’s Killing Inten

    The Seven Sword Inheritances¡¯ appearance time was extremely short and disappeared from the ancient arena after only taking in two geniuses.


    Many True Dragon Geniuses below especially those cultivating the Dao of the Sword were regretful and angry and looked towards Xia Xianshang with hatred.


    Xia Xianshang had been injured to let Cang Yuyue enter the Seven Sword Inheritance and although his face was pale he looked joyfully towards the elder generation of the Ten Thousand Sword Clan.


    ¡°The spots of the Seven Sword Inheritance are always low, its normal for it to only allow two people to enter.¡±


    ¡°Xianshang had regarded to overall situation and opened a path for Yuyue. It¡¯s our Ten Thousand Sword Clan¡¯s honour to take a spot.¡±


    ¡°This precious spot might change our Ten Thousand Sword Clan¡¯s destiny.¡±


    The elders of the Ten Thousand Sword Clan were satisfied.


    In the past Sword Saint Ye Wuxie had entered the Seven Sword Inheritance and became the strongest cultivator of the Sword. Even the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch was wary of him.


    However, this was the second time the Seven Sword Inheritance had appeared in the past thousand years. From this one could see it¡¯s rareness.


    ¡°Any one of the Four Great Inheritances can create a legend and change the continent¡¯s situation.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen looked towards the inheritance shadowing of the Mystic Ice Inheritance.


    After the departure of the Seven Sword Inheritance the Mystic Ice Inheritance was without a doubt the strongest now.


    ¡°Bing Wei, you¡¯ve got to grip this chance.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen at the Origin Core Realm couldn¡¯t help but be worried and filled with expectation.


    After all, there was more than just one overwhelming prodigy here.


    For example, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng might both compete for the Mystic Ice Inheritance and with their power of transferring across space, their strength was stronger than Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s.


    The Mystic Ice Queen was very worried that Zhao Feng would interfere when the Mystic Ice Inheritance descended.


    After all the two were now enemies.


    At this point in time.


    Zhao Feng stood on the floating arena with the nine-hundred-yard figure behind him. Apart from Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng no other person could be compared to him.


    ¡°If there¡¯s no Dao of the Soul Inheritance or Lightning Inheritance then I¡¯ll choose this Mystic Ice Inheritance.¡±


    His eyes twinkled as he stared at the Mystic Ice Inheritance.


    Although the Seven Sword Inheritance was extremely powerful, none of the five overwhelming prodigies competed for it.


    Of course, if Taiyun Shuangzi hadn¡¯t fallen, he definitely would have entered the competition and at that time Cang Yuyue might not have the chance to enter.


    The current five overwhelming prodigies knew almost nothing about swords and this meant that even if they entered, it was hard for them to get anything.


    There was no such thing as the strongest Inheritance, only the most suitable inheritance.


    The five overwhelming prodigies all knew this and hence didn¡¯t compete.


    However, the Mystic Ice Inheritance was different.


    As long as one had cultivated in the Dao of Water, Ice or cold elemental skills, everyone had a chance as long as they didn¡¯t cultivate the Dao of Fire.


    Apart from Shi Chengtian everyone could try to enter the Mystic Ice Inheritance.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline and God¡¯s Spiritual Eye were both currently more based towards ice and so the Mystic Ice Inheritance was suitable for him.


    ¡°The Seven Sword Inheritance and Mystic Ice Inheritance both require a certain element, but some Inheritance don¡¯t. For example, the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance is suitable for every genius and the Scarlet Moon Inheritance also doesn¡¯t have an obvious requirement.¡±


    Zhao Feng kept on thinking.


    If all the Four Great Inheritances appeared, he would definitely choose the Heavens Legacy Inheritance first then the Mystic Ice Inheritance then the Scarlet Moon Inheritance. The Seven Sword Inheritance didn¡¯t need to be considered.


    Unfortunately, the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance didn¡¯t arrive, and the Scarlet Moon Inheritance had been taken.


    This meant that Zhao Feng had less choices.


    In reality, he wanted an Inheritance relating to the Dao of the Soul as only the most suitable was the most powerful.


    However, there weren¡¯t many Dao of the Soul cultivators and was even rarer than body strengthening.


    In the Azure Flower Continent, the Dao of the Soul had almost been forgotten.


    Time passed slowly.


    After the Seven Sword Inheritance left two other inheritances connected, causing another bloodbath and only ten geniuses successfully entered.


    The five overwhelming prodigies still didn¡¯t move and only a small number of first tier geniuses entered.


    Of the overwhelming prodigies Tantai Lanyue and Zhao Feng both stared at the Mystic Ice Inheritance while Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng would give the occasional glance.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s injuries had just healed and when she saw this, her heart tightened with pressure.


    It seemed that both Zhao Feng and Tantai Lanyue were planning on competing to enter the Mystic Ice Inheritance and Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng both had a chance as well.


    Goddess Bing Wei cried bitterly in her heart.


    Tantai Lanyue and Zhao Feng was both her enemies.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, looks like you¡¯re also on planning to enter the Mystic Ice Inheritance? Why not us two team up and give Goddess Bing Wei no chance.¡±


    Tantai Lanyue revealed half her legs and asked Zhao Feng.


    In the second round of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering Goddess Bing Wei and Tantai Lanyue had their own feud and the enemy of the enemy was a friend.


    Tantai Lanyue waited for Zhao Feng¡¯s reply with expectation and pure eyes.


    Zhao Feng was currently an elite of the overwhelming prodigies and only just below Yu Tianhao. With the figure from the stone statue he had the ability to compete with Yu Tianhao.


    If she was able to team up with Zhao Feng, then they would be unrivalled.


    At the same time Tantai Lanyue would certainly be able to enter the Mystic Ice Inheritance while pushing aside Goddess Bing Wei as well.


    ¡°No.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded in Tantai Lanyue¡¯s mind.


    Declined?


    Tantai Lanyue was extremely surprised and her face was filled with puzzlement.


    One had to know ever since the first round of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering Goddess Bing Wei had tried to finish off Zhao Feng and in the second round she had teamed up with another overwhelming prodigy to kill Zhao Feng.


    In this round Goddess Bing Wei had also tried to kill him but ended in failure.


    Putting aside that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t even retaliating, he was now even passing the chance to suppress her?


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s cold and emotionless. Why wouldn¡¯t he be willing? Could it be¡­. He¡¯s in love with Goddess Bing Wei?¡±


    Tantai Lanyue¡¯s mouth was wide open as she thought of this possibility.


    ¡°Just I alone am enough to suppress her.¡±


    A faint voice added.


    Tantai Lanyue wanted to retort back but could say nothing.


    Looking at the cool calm blue haired youth not far away and that dominant voice, Tantai Lanyue¡¯s heart jumped.


    ¡°Ha-ha, although this Zhao Feng¡¯s seems kind of cold, he has the aura of a man and his age is similar to mine in the overwhelming prodigies.¡±


    Tantai Lanyue¡¯s face went red.


    Tantai Lanyue was different from Yu Tianhao. She was only seventeen to eighteen years old and was her first time participating in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    There were a few elders from the Tantai family and of them included a beauty and old grandma.


    ¡°Looks like Lanyue¡¯s heart is moved.¡±


    A smile appeared on the beauty¡¯s face. Her cultivation had reached the half step True Spirit Realm. The old grandma next to her nodded her head and her aura was at the Origin Core Realm: ¡°This Zhao Feng is not bad. He had a noble eye bloodline and in terms of talent, age and cultivation, is suitable for Lanyue.¡±


    Zhao Feng who was on the floating arena probably didn¡¯t realise he was so attractive towards these major families.


    It wasn¡¯t just the Tantai family.


    Even the three major eye families looked at Zhao Feng with fiery eyes.


    ¡°Those with eye bloodlines is most suitable for marriage. Third Elder, I remember you have a granddaughter.¡±


    ¡°Ah, my granddaughter is already eighty and the other one is only three.¡±


    ¡°I think three is a bit too young. My granddaughter has just reached ten years old and has the cultivation of the Sixth Sky of the Ascended Realm. Maybe she can try.¡±


    In this Sacred True Dragon Gathering Zhao Feng¡¯s performance was too bright and his eye bloodline had signs of surpassing the three eye families.


    Powerful bloodlines were something that every family wanted.


    Weng~


    On the floating arena a powerful cold aura kept other inheritances shadowings away.


    ¡°The Mystic Ice Inheritance is moving.¡±


    The hearts of the True Dragon Geniuses below sped up as they held their breath.


    Seeing the Mystic Ice Inheritance become more condensed Zhao Feng, Tantai Lanyue and Goddess Bing Wei seemed to get ready and so did four or five other first tier geniuses.


    ¡°My God, there¡¯s three overwhelming prodigies fighting for the Mystic Ice Inheritance at once.¡±


    Several True Dragon Geniuses saw this and instantly retreated.


    Soon.


    A shining door from the Mystic Ice Inheritance connected with the staircase.


    ¡°The Mystic Ice Inheritance is most suitable for me.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei took a deep breath and instantly circulated his Qi of True Spirit and bloodline power as she flew towards the staircase.


    At the same time both Zhao Feng and Tantai Lanyue charged towards the staircase.


    ¡°Zhao Feng will definitely stop Goddess Bing Wei and this way I¡¯ll be able to enter the Mystic Ice Inheritance.¡±


    Tantai Lanyue¡¯s heart was fuzzy.


    She was obviously happy to be able to enter the Mystic Ice Inheritance with the person she felt good about.


    Yet.


    She didn¡¯t know Zhao Feng had another plan.


    ¡°I¡¯ll purposely let Goddess Bing Wei in the Mystic Ice Inheritance and then when I enter I can kill her.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed with killing intent.


    Goddess Bing Wei had tried to kill him multiple times and he definitely wouldn¡¯t let this go.


    Instead of suppressing her why not kill her instead?


    This was why he didn¡¯t work together with Tantai Lanyue.


    ¡°On the contrary I still need to block Tantai Lanyue entering the Mystic Ice Inheritance as the number of spots is limited. There won¡¯t be any evidence in me killing Goddess Bing Wei in the Inheritance and according to the death rate of geniuses entering the inheritances, there is a chance of dying above 50%.¡±


    Zhao Feng had heard of the Deputy Patriarch tell him how dangerous it was to enter inheritances.


    Ice Lightning Mystic Flower.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was the fastest and the first to land on the staircase as he shot out an attack.


    Boom!


    The strength of the overwhelming prodigy with the intent of the descending figure forced the nearby True Dragon Geniuses to retreat.


    ¡°Bam¡­ arggggg!¡±


    The nearby geniuses moved back and many of them spat out a mouthful of blood.

 385 Xin Wuheng’s Secre

    Zhao Feng stood on the staircase and with this dominant blow, stunned the other True Dragon Geniuses.


    His attack wasn¡¯t targeted towards only one person but had swept across all the True Dragon Geniuses including those at the first tier and the overwhelming prodigies.


    Those under the first tier were all injured and even one or two were killed.


    The nine-hundred-yard figure behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back was like a demonic lord that ruled the skies.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s strength has reached such a terrifying step.¡±


    ¡°He pushed back all of us by him alone?¡±


    Many geniuses took in a cold breath.


    Some competing True Dragon Geniuses quickly ran away and watched from afar.


    Of course.


    The two overwhelming prodigies Tantai Lanyue and Goddess Bing Wei both easily dealt with Zhao Feng¡¯s attack.


    Apart from them another few geniuses of the first tier managed to block it and closed in from different directions.


    After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s move just then had shocked the place and left a shadow behind in many people¡¯s hearts.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes flashed coldly and with a shout the ghost eyed man and Qin Kunwu also charged towards Zhao Feng on her left and right.


    How could Goddess Bing Wei not have made any preparations for the Mystic Ice Inheritance?


    She had gathered Zhao Feng¡¯s enemies, the ghost eyed man and Qin Kunwu.


    These two had all been defeated by Zhao Feng in the second round and stolen their True Dragon Tokens. Of course, with their strength they could still steal the True Dragon Tokens of others.


    The ghost eyed man was extremely jealous of Zhao Feng and with Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s promise, the two stood on her side to deal with Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is too arrogant and needs to be beaten.¡±


    The ghost eyed man and Qin Kunwu launched their attacks to help Goddess Bing Wei.


    Ghost Mist Sky!


    The ghost eyed man¡¯s eyes flashed with a ghostly flame and a mist soon enveloped towards the area where Zhao Feng was at.


    The ghost mist had a strong eroding force and could start to burn with ghost flames. It was a physical attack and not an elemental attack.


    From this move alone, everyone knew that the ghost eyed man had used the best method against Zhao Feng.


    Mental energy attacks were useless against Zhao Feng, but this Ghost Mist Sky originally had the ability to create illusions, but the ghost eyed man didn¡¯t use it and instead strengthened the power of the flames.


    ¡°Gankun Demon Snatching Palm!¡±


    Qin Kunwu¡¯s voice was as loud as thunder and his two eyes were like stars. With the power of transferring across space he sent out a giant palm a hundred yards large that shined with purple and gold. It was like a furnace of purple and gold that was able to suppress all the demons in this world.


    With the power of transferring across space both the ghost eyed man and Qin Kunwu¡¯s strength had reached the original overwhelming prodigies¡¯ level.


    Furthermore, the two focused on ¡®restraining¡¯ and ¡®restricting¡¯ Zhao Feng.


    The main attacker was obviously Goddess Bing Wei. She waved her two arms and sent ice flames that were enough to seal anyone under the True Lord Rank and her Qi of True Spirit was being half burned.


    The waves of ice flames formed an ice phoenix and Zhao Feng felt a coldness extend to his mental energy dimension as his Qi of True Spirit had signs of being frozen.


    He had been sealed by Goddess Bing Wei in ice once before and the phoenix of ice flames was stronger than before.


    Furthermore, Qin Kunwu and the ghost eyed man¡¯s attack both also restricted him.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s hair blew in the air and a magnificent figure holding a black sword, wearing a crown and sitting on a throne of ice appeared behind him.


    With the extra crown and black sword, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline had an obvious increase in offensive capabilities.


    Ice Lightning Raging Dragon!!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t move back nor evade and the figure of transferring across space behind him intertwined with the power of ice and lightning, forming a devastating dragon that devoured everything in its path.


    Booooom Peng--- Bam! ~


    The two sides clashed and created a large boom that even caused the Mystic Ice Inheritance to become unstable.


    With a crack Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s ice phoenix was ripped into shreds and she was forced back two steps as a numbing sensation crossed her body.


    Qin Kunwu and the ghost eyed man¡¯s attacks both immediately crumbled.


    ¡°What the¡­ retreat!¡±


    The two screamed but was hit by a wave of lightning and ice and their four limbs went numb as they lost the ability to move.


    With a ¡®bam¡¯ the ghost eyed man was knocked flying and his body scorched then frozen into an ice block, unknown whether he was dead or alive.


    Qin Kunwu ran and spat out a mouthful of blood, severely injured but alive.


    The black horse he looked down upon had reached a step where he was now the ant.


    Just the remaining waves of battle had severely injured him.


    Of course, this wasn¡¯t just because Zhao Feng was an overwhelming prodigy. He also had the nine-hundred-yard figure behind him.


    ¡°Zhao Feng why did you attack me¡­.¡±


    Tantai Lanyue shouted with panic and anger. She had ridden on her spiritual beast and wanted to enter but didn¡¯t expect Zhao Feng¡¯s attack to be also aimed at her.


    At this instance.


    Zhao Feng forcing back two overwhelming prodigies and severely injuring two first tier geniuses at once made the geniuses wanting to reap the rewards later think twice.


    ¡°How can this Zhao Feng be so strong? Two overwhelming prodigies and several first-tier geniuses were suppressed by only him.¡±


    ¡°This doesn¡¯t look good. Is Zhao Feng unrivalled now?¡±


    The True Dragon Geniuses were all stunned whether they had participated or not.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s black pupils were filled with excitement and battle intent. An invisible force seemed to come from his bloodline power and help the growth of the figure behind his back.


    Xin Wuheng didn¡¯t move and looked towards Zhao Feng with complexity.


    Back at the Sun Feather City when he had fought Zhao Feng he knew this youth¡¯s future wouldn¡¯t be normal.


    After he left and used his own efforts to easily break through to the Ascended Realm and then entered the desolate grounds using battle to train himself. When he arrived at the Great Country he already had the cultivation of the half step True Spirit Realm.


    At that time Xin Wuheng imagined that this youth would be very far away from him and his impression of him was now faint.


    However, in just a year of two the youth who had once copied his still reappeared.


    It wasn¡¯t hard for Xin Wuheng to see that Zhao Feng¡¯s skills contained an intent that he had put all his intent into.


    ¡°I achieved this with the partial memories of my past life but was easily stolen by him.¡±


    Xin Wuheng felt somewhat frustrated.


    Ever since he was born Xin Wuheng weird memories that appeared in his dreams.


    As he grew older more and more pieces of memory surfaced. It was as if he was someone else.


    This was his secret.


    He had no bloodline nor top talent but still could reach the peak of geniuses and with the power of transferring across space, had the ability to reach Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao¡¯s level.


    ¡°Those pieces of memories had also mentioned the Heavens Legacy Inheritance, the oldest and most mysterious Inheritance. Even a small bit will be full of rewards. Furthermore, the Heavens Legacy Race that created the Heavens Legacy Inheritance is one of the races ranked highly in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­¡±


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s knowledge was far above the other geniuses but the Sacred True Dragon Gathering had already entered the late stages, but the Heavens Legacy Inheritance had still not appeared.


    ¡°The Heavens Legacy Inheritance is the start of the life of Heaven and where blessing, life and fortune is.¡±


    Xin Wuheng murmured.


    A faint tremor seemed to be born from his words and touch something.


    At this point in time Zhao Feng was fighting several geniuses including Tantai Lanyue and Goddess Bing Wei by himself.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re not entering and want to block me?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei gritted her teeth in hatred as she pushed her Mystic Ice skill to the extreme.


    It wasn¡¯t hard for others to see Zhao Feng was purposely suppressing Goddess Bing.


    Tantai Lanyue wailed on the side: ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re suppressing Goddess Bing Wei, why are you dragging me into this?¡±


    ¡°If I let you in Goddess Bing Wei will sneak in as well.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    His true aim was to block both the overwhelming prodigies and let Goddess Bing Wei in when she used all her skill


    At the end Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei both needed to enter. Only like this would he be able to kill Bing Wei.


    Weng~ Huang!


    The clouds of the ancient arena suddenly shook, and nothing could be seen with the eye, but they sensed a clash somewhere.


    ¡°What is that?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s!!¡±


    The nine Sovereigns felt their heart twitch and they looked up in unison.


    In the picture in the air there was a tall clock tower, mechanic giants and mysterious divination towers.


    Countless sceneries flashed by and an ancient aura swept across the ancient arena.


    Most of these pictures were broken and seemed to be from ancient times.


    When that inheritance shadowing appeared all the other inheritance shadowings trembled.


    Even the Mystic Ice Inheritance lost one third of its size.


    ¡°The Heavens Legacy Inheritance!¡±


    The nine Sovereigns exclaimed, and some knowledgeable experts also shouted: ¡°Isn¡¯t this the Heavens Legacy Inheritance?¡±


    The Heavens Legacy Inheritance descended and ignored all the rules of the ancient arena as it opened an ancient mysterious azure coloured door.

 386 Pushed Aside

    The azure door wasn¡¯t half real or half fake but instead physically there, different from the others.


    While the Mystic Ice Inheritance was connected the Heavens Legacy Inheritance opened a bright door and didn¡¯t need to connect it onto the steps. It could ignore the rules of the ancient arena.


    Just from this point alone one could tell the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance was more than a level better than the other Inheritances.


    This sudden change surprised many True Dragon Geniuses.


    The descension of the Heavens Legacy Inheritance was too sudden and had already opened a door before many geniuses reacted.


    ¡°What an old aura, it¡¯s definitely the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the inheritance shadowing of the Mystic Ice Inheritance become pressured and slightly unstable.


    Of the Four Great Inheritances probably only the Heavens Legacy Inheritance had this power.


    But at the same time Zhao Feng cursed in his heart: Why the fuck did the Heavens Legacy Inheritance had to appear now and not some other time.


    The Heavens Legacy Inheritance already had a door open and it was slightly far away from Zhao Feng, so he didn¡¯t know what to choose.


    At the same time.


    There was a couple True Dragon Geniuses near the Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    ¡°Hahaha, great!¡±


    ¡°Since the Heavens Legacy Inheritance appeared right in front of me, it looks like I¡¯m the chosen one.¡±


    Two geniuses close to the door were overfilled with joy as they leapt towards the mysterious azure door.


    Sou! Sou!


    The others could only watch these two with unwillingness and anger.


    Bam! Bam!


    The azure door shook and threw these two True Dragon Geniuses aside.


    What¡¯s going on?


    The smiles of the two True Dragon Geniuses froze then turned ugly.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. Looks like not any trash can enter the Heavens Legacy Inheritance.¡±


    The geniuses watching from afar understood and were filled with happiness.


    Sou Sou---


    Many True Dragon Geniuses closed in on the azure door.


    Bam!


    Another True Dragon Genius was pushed aside by the azure door and their expressions changed slightly.


    In just a couple breaths the Heavens Legacy Inheritance had become the focus of the place and many True Dragon Geniuses charged over crazily.


    Amongst these included Yu Tianhao, Xin Wuheng and Shi Chengtian.


    These three overwhelming prodigies instantly started to fight before the azure door.


    ¡°Which one should I choose?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled and Goddess Bing Wei and Tantai Lanyue also hesitated.


    Without a doubt the Heavens Legacy Inheritance was better than the Mystic Ice Inheritance and the inheritances within wasn¡¯t limited to skills.


    Being the most ancient and mysterious inheritances the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance might contain a Dao of Soul Inheritance.


    However, if Zhao Feng gave up the Mystic Ice Inheritance and turned to fight for the Heavens Legacy Inheritance he may end up missing both because there was a certain distance between the two.


    At this point in time.


    The entrance of the Heavens Legacy Inheritance was blocked by Yu Tianhao, Xin Wuheng and Shi Chengtian. Any one of them could enter at this time and end the connection between the Heavens Legacy Inheritance and the ancient arena.


    All of the Great Inheritances had limited spots.


    ¡°Once I choose the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance then I¡¯ll certainly miss the Mystic Ice Inheritance.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts spun.


    Although it seemed as if he had thought a lot, only one tenth of the time it took for an eye to blink had passed.


    Suddenly.


    Zhao Feng revealed a decisive look.


    Right at this instance both Tantai Lanyue and Goddess Bing Wei used their full force and attacked Zhao Feng.


    A crystal ice sword appeared in Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s hand as she slashed out cold arcs of ice of which the invisible ice beams had already attacked in the mental energy level.


    Tantai Lanyue waved her glass whip and ordered the Horned Earth Dragon Beast to attack as she bit her lips.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was destroyed by the attacks of the two overwhelming prodigies.


    Shua!


    An arc of lightning flashed through the sky and charged towards the Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    ¡°Indeed.¡±


    Tantai Lanyue wasn¡¯t surprised. She didn¡¯t think the two of them could threaten Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s aim was the most mysterious Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    Shua!


    Tantai Lanyue sat on the Horned Earth Dragon Beast and used its size to push Goddess Bing Wei out of the way as she first entered the Mystic Ice Inheritance.


    After one person the light of the Mystic Ice Inheritance¡¯s door faded by a lot.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s expression changed slightly and was about to enter but felt her mind burn.


    ¡°Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!¡±


    A half transparent azure lightning flame landed on Goddess Bing Wei and because her guard was down, the lightning flames burned her body and her mind.


    With the power of transferring across space Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye had reached an entire new level that even those at the True Lord Rank would be harmed.


    Adding on the fact that Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s guard was down, this Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye did a lot of damage to her.


    Who would have thought that Zhao Feng would use his Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye as he retreated.


    ¡°Yufei, go quickly into the Mystic Ice Inheritance¡­. Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng warned Zhao Yufei who was not far away.


    The reason why he sent a Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye to attack Goddess Bing Wei was to leave a spot for Zhao Yufei.


    This plan was soon completed.


    If he gave up on the Mystic Ice Inheritance, then he wouldn¡¯t let Goddess Bing Wei have it.


    Zhao Yufei was already at the quasi overwhelming prodigy level and had a stronger power of transferring across space than Goddess Bing Wei. The important thing was after the transferring across space, her cultivation had reached the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    While Goddess Bing Wei was injured Zhao Yufei did have a high chance to replace her.


    That¡¯s right.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s plan was perfect. While pushing aside the enemy he could also help his friends.


    But the thing was that Zhao Yufei had a problem.


    While all the other True Dragon Geniuses were fighting for the inheritances Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t move.


    She sat on the ground and her forehead burned. The Qi of True Spirit within her body summoned the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Zhao Yufei flesh contained a pure True Spirit Yuan Qi and with the power of transferring across space her Qi of True Spirit her cultivation rose, and something happened to her bloodline power.


    Wah!


    Zhao Yufei suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and thin colours of green, purple, red blue started to appear on her jade white skin.


    ¡°Yufei¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed, and his footsteps paused.


    He opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and inspected Zhao Yufei¡¯s situation.


    ¡°The rise in cultivation¡­. Clash of Qi of True Spirit¡­. She needs to release it and her bloodlines gone weird.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was better than any doctor¡¯s detection.


    At this instance.


    A figure flashed into the azure door of the Heavens Legacy Inheritance


    Shua!


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s footsteps passed through the azure door and became the first to enter the Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    This door was extremely weird and Xin Wuheng tried at least three times before he succeeded.


    Yu Tianhao had tried three times and Shi Chengtian twice but didn¡¯t succeed.


    ¡°Hehe, another ten thousand years later, a person from our Ten Thousand Origins Clan has entered the Heavens Legacy.¡±


    ¡°With Xin Wuheng¡¯s comprehension after he enters the Heavens Legacy Inheritance he might have the ability to change the Heavens.¡±


    ¡°The future of the continent will depend on the Ten Thousand Origins Clan.¡±


    The elder generation of the Ten Thousand Origins Clan was filled with excitement and the other forces were envious and regretful as they stared intently at the Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    Luckily.


    The azure door of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance was still stable and didn¡¯t close after one person entered.


    ¡°There¡¯s still a chance.¡±


    The Ten Great Clans and major families and even Sovereigns were filled with excitement.


    At this moment in time the Heavens Legacy Inheritance became the only focus.


    As for the Mystic Ice Inheritance it had already disappeared.


    Each of the Four Great Inheritances had appeared in this Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    The Heavens Legacy Inheritance was the last to appear and could be said to be full of surprises.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng used this time to close in on the Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    Miao miao!


    At the same time a silver-grey cat landed next to Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Feng had made the decision to go fight for the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance and left the little thieving cat to take care of Zhao Yufei.


    Shua!


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s figure passed through the azure door.


    After Xin Wuheng, Yu Tianhao was the second to pass into the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance.


    At this point Zhao Feng had arrived.


    Shi Chengtian was starting to panic and clashed once again into the azure door but failed.


    ¡°Let me!¡±


    Zhao Feng pushed away the nearby True Dragon Geniuses and turned into a blur that charged towards the azure door.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng was pushed aside by the azure door.


    He wasn¡¯t surprised and used the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to inspect the door.


    Before, Xin Wuheng and Yu Tianhao had both tried several times to enter.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Yufei who was sitting on the ground moaned in pain as her skin started to flash.


    Pa Pa!


    The little thieving cat seemed to think and then gently tapped Zhao Yufei¡¯s shoulder blades.


    Weng~


    Zhao Yufei shouted as the part that was tapped glowed and a pair of half transparent wings grew out.


    With the growth of the pair of wings, Zhao Yufei¡¯s Qi of True Spirit finally found a way to be released and her aura rose.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Zhao Yufei looked gratefully towards the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly sensed something and threw its old coins in the air.


    The next instant.


    Wu---- Boom!


    The entire ancient arena and air seemed to shale.


    Zhao Yufei sensed something and looked up at the same time as the little thieving cat.


    At this instance.


    The Heavens Legacy Inheritance shook, and the space started to creek.


    Immediately following that.


    An inheritance shadowing that blotted out the sun appeared.


    Looking from afar it was a world of multi coloured lights.


    Booooom!


    The most ancient and mysterious Heavens Legacy Inheritance was pushed aside by this unknown inheritance shadowing.

 387 Unknown Inheritance

    The ancient arena.


    The entire sky was filled by an unknown inheritance shadowing and the air above the ancient arena started to tremble and become unstable.


    Looking from afar this unknown inheritance shadowing seemed to reflect another world. There were buildings within, but nothing seemed this simple.


    ¡°Bam!¡±


    Even an inheritance as strong as the Heavens Legacy Inheritance was forcefully pushed aside by the unknown inheritance and some smaller nearby inheritances were immediately destroyed.


    Hua!


    The sudden change shocked the entire Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Teng!


    The nine Sovereigns all stood up and inspected the unknown inheritance with solemnness.


    It was certain that this inheritance had never appeared before in the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°With the Azure Flower Continents¡¯ connection strength, how could such a powerful inheritance descend?¡±


    The usually calm Deputy Palace Lord exclaimed.


    Ever since the second round of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering begun the Sacred Alliance had lost control.


    Everything was going towards the unknown.


    What was this unknown inheritance?


    Why would it appear on the Azure Flower Continent?


    ¡°Deputy Palace Lord, this inheritances¡¯ aura is extremely unique and has a high compatibility with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, therefore it can barely manage to descend.¡±


    The white bearded elder was obviously specialised in arrays and hurriedly said after some inspection.


    The nine Sovereigns guessed that this inheritance was brought here by some unknown reason.


    Amongst them.


    Bai Yun Dao Sovereign stared at Zhao Yufei and no one knew if his expression was of excitement or nervousness.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s back had a half transparent pair of wings extend from her back and it sparkled lightly.


    With the little thieving cat¡¯s ¡®help¡¯ Zhao Yufei successfully dissolved the danger and the change in her bloodline became stable.


    ¡°Only the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races can bring this unknown inheritance. Compared with this all the other bloodlines including the ones of the three major families are trash¡­.¡±


    Bai Yun Dao Sovereign knew the truth.


    However.


    This secret was too shocking and once the secret of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡¯ bloodline was revealed, putting aside the Heavenly Yuan Clan and Sacred Alliance, even the entire Azure Flower Continent may be in danger.


    Shua!


    The Heavens Legacy Inheritance started to fade and disappeared in front of the unknown inheritance.


    ¡°Could it be that unknown inheritance is because of Yufei¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t realise the Heavens Legacy Inheritance had disappeared and instead was shocked at the number one Inheritance being knocked aside.


    Could it be¡­. That there was an inheritance even stronger than the Heavens Legacy Inheritance?


    ¡°Looks like the source is Zhao Yufei.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant looked deeply towards Bai Yun Dao Daoist, the latter was her Master.


    ¡°This inheritance had pushed aside the Heavens Legacy Inheritance and made it disappear. Does this mean it¡¯s even stronger than the Heavens Legacy Inheritance?¡±


    Green Moon Sovereign asked.


    ¡°Maybe. The Heavens Legacy Inheritance is famed even in the outside world, but the Azure Flower Continent can only withstand the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance at most. That unknown inheritance has definitely exceeded the continents limit but from the fact that it can descend shows how unique it is.¡±


    Sovereign Yu Xingchen said.


    His son Yu Tianhao had just entered the Heavens Legacy Inheritance not long ago and everyone believed in the Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    The nine Sovereigns knew that although the unknown inheritance might not be as ancient as the Heavens Legacy Inheritance, it was definitely better.


    Weng~


    The multi coloured inheritance descended but didn¡¯t reveal a door.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the Mystic Snake Blood Whip as it stood on Zhao Yufei¡¯s shoulder and signalled Zhao Feng.


    ¡°The little thieving cat wants me to go over?¡±


    Zhao Feng went over without hesitation.


    Hu~


    The unknown inheritance suddenly gave off a ripple and the ripple turned into a multi coloured whirlpool that reached towards Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei shouted and felt her body become pulled towards the whirlpool.


    ¡°Yufei!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed and grabbed towards Zhao Yufei.


    However.


    The multi coloured whirlpools speed was too fast and when Zhao Feng went over half of Zhao Yufei¡¯s body had already been pulled in.


    The weird thing was that apart from Zhao Yufei, no one else was attracted by the whirlpool.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly lashed out its whip.


    Qiu!


    The Mystic Snake Blood Whip flashed and wrapped around itself and Zhao Yufei with Zhao Feng¡¯s arm.


    Therefore.


    As long as the whirlpool pulled Zhao Yufei in, it would also pull Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hahaha, excellent job thieving cat!¡±


    Zhao Feng understood the little thieving cat¡¯s intentions.


    The unknown inheritance was supposed to belong only to Zhao Yufei but with the little thieving cat¡¯s help, Zhao Feng was also pulled in.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng used the help of the Mystic Snake Blood Whip and flew next to Zhao Yufei trying to enter the unknown inheritance.


    Weng~


    The multi coloured whirlpool tried to forcefully push away Zhao Feng but the little thieving cat¡¯s methods were more shameless.


    Shua!


    The Mystic Snake Blood Whip wrapped Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei together so that if the whirlpool wanted to push away Zhao Feng, it would also push away Zhao Yufei.


    Shoosh!


    Zhao Feng fell into a warm body and his hands grasped Zhao Yufei¡¯s figure as a pleasant smell entered his nose.


    The two had fallen into the multi coloured whirlpool and Zhao Yufei¡¯s face was apple red but felt warm and lucky.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat was wrapped between the two and laughed.


    ¡°Great job!¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed, not realising Zhao Yufei¡¯s change.


    However.


    Before he finished his sentence, he felt his body undergo a change that was similar to using the Northern Star Stand teleportation array but one hundred times stronger.


    The ancient arena.


    Shua Shua!


    Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei and the little thieving cat disappeared along with the multi coloured whirlpool.


    Weng~


    The unknown inheritance soon dimmed and faded leaving behind dozens of dazed True Dragon Geniuses on the floating arena.


    The unknown inheritance had taken only away Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei. The process was too fast that most of the people hadn¡¯t even reacted.


    Only till another inheritance connect did these True Dragon Geniuses start to fight again.


    At this point in time.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering was coming to an end and the nine Sovereigns looked at each other.


    This Sacred True Dragon Gathering had too many surprises and twists.


    ¡°This is probably the most glorious era. All Four Great Inheritances had appeared and there was an even stronger unknown inheritance.¡±


    ¡°Xin Wuheng and Yu Tianhao had entered the Heavens Legacy Inheritance whereas Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei have entered the unknown inheritance. Who knows who will be the one deciding this continents future?¡±


    The entire ancient arena broke out into discussion.


    For the hundred thousand spectators this Sacred True Dragon Gathering was indeed worth coming to watch.


    It could be imagined that this Sacred True Dragon Gathering would shake the world.


    The Deputy Patriarch looked at the direction the unknown inheritance disappeared in: ¡°Zhao Feng, you luck is very good. That inheritances¡¯ level is higher, and I believe with your eye bloodline, you won¡¯t return empty handed.¡±


    Under the sighs and exclaims this Sacred True Dragon Gathering came to an end.


    The Sacred Alliance held a secret meeting led by the bronze skinned Deputy Palace Lord.


    ¡°I¡¯ll say it simply. The geniuses entering the inheritances from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering won¡¯t return anytime soon. However, we still have another matter at hand.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant said.


    These members were mainly at the Origin Core Realm.


    The Sacred Alliance was made up of this small number of people, but they decided this continents life or death.


    Most Origin Core Realm knew what the matter was.


    ¡°The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion stole the Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s Scarlet Moon Inheritance. We need to find where they are.¡¯


    ¡°The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion has probably already succeeded in entering the Scarlet Moon Inheritance. If that¡¯s the case, then the future will be full of danger.¡±


    The Sovereigns discussed.


    Controlling an inheritance was unimaginable and the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion knew the secrets within the inheritance. Once he came back everything was possible.


    ¡°Just the Scarlet Moon Religion alone isn¡¯t scary. Back when the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion could sweep across the continent so quickly was due to the support from the outside world.¡±


    ¡°Deputy Palace Lord, you mean the Moon Demon Palace? If I remember correctly the Azure Flower Continent and the other nearby areas should be controlled by the Three Sacred Palace.¡±


    ¡°The Moon Demon Palace is a Two-and-a-half-star force. Back then it had only helped a tiny bit and almost made the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion rule the continent. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the Moon Demon Palace is too far away and the reinforcements from the Three Sacred Palace came in time as well as the Sacred Alliance and the appearance of experts such as Sword Saint Ye Wuxie, the result is unthinkable.¡±


    The Deputy Palace Lord said solemnly.


    ¡°Deputy Palace Lord, are you suspicious that the Moon Demon Palace helped the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion steal the Scarlet Moon Inheritance?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, you know that even one hundred One Star forces combined can¡¯t beat a Two-and-a-Half-star force.¡±


    The discussion became solemn.


    Many Sovereigns present were sent to the Eastern, Western, Northern and other continent with the Sacred Alliances teleportation arrays.


    From the ancient records forces were split from one to five stars. One star was lowest and five stars the highest.


    A force such as the Iron Blood Religion was only a stronger half star force and close to one star.


    The Ten Great Clans were technically barely One-star forces and the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was a One-star force that was maybe close to one and a half stars.


    This splitting of factions was certain in the mouths of the Sovereigns, proving that the worlds between Sovereigns and others were different.


    Of course, currently all of this had nothing to do with Zhao Feng and the other geniuses that had entered the inheritances.

 388 Purple Saint Ruins 1

    After a flipping sensation Zhao Feng landed onto the ground.


    There was only Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei as well as the little thieving cat had disappeared.


    ¡°At that time when Yufei, the cat and I were in the whirlpool we were teleported out randomly.¡±


    Zhao Feng concluded.


    He could still feel a connection between him and the little thieving cat although the connection was slightly weak.


    Yet if this connection remained it meant the little thieving cat was alive.


    ¡°I¡¯m actually worried for the little thieving cat?¡±


    Zhao Feng found this funny.


    With the little thieving cat¡¯s mysteriousness, intelligence and power to avoid harm, his life would definitely be better than Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    As for Zhao Yufei, she was the main target of the unknown inheritance and might be taken care of here.


    Zhao Feng only needed to be worried about himself and his first reaction was to inspect his surroundings with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised. In this weird place his spiritual sense and ability to detect was restrained.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was also a source of detection and could only see one tenth as far.


    From this point alone, one could see that this unknown inheritance wasn¡¯t simple.


    It wasn¡¯t as if Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t been in places where they restricted mental energy senses. For example, the Floating Crest Palace had such restrictions but didn¡¯t affect his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye much and back then his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye hadn¡¯t evolved this much.


    However.


    Zhao Feng could still see everything within a one hundred to two hundred miles radius clearly.


    After looking around Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was very solemn.


    In the air he saw groups of birds all of them with at least one leader at the True Mystic Rank.


    The True Mystic Rank bird leader¡¯s strength was close to an overwhelming prodigy¡¯s and led at least ten True Human Ranks as well as thousands of others.


    A group like this was enough to cause trouble for Zhao Feng.


    After leaving the ancient arena the power of transferring across space disappeared and Zhao Feng¡¯s strength returned to usual.


    Furthermore, there was even bigger groups of birds of which the leading bird¡¯s cultivation had reached the True Lord Rank and had at least ten True Mystic Rank underlings of which a couple were comparable to the overwhelming prodigy level.


    ¡°There¡¯s about ten to twenty thousand birds in one of the larger groups. Even if the five overwhelming prodigies teamed up we would probably be wiped out.¡±


    Just thinking about it made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jump.


    The danger wasn¡¯t just restricted to the air. There were also many beasts on the ground on in the water. There were also lonely True Mystic Rank beasts as well as the occasional rare True Lord Rank.


    ¡°The most important task right now is to gather information.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.


    If this was one of the Four Great Inheritances he would at least have some information.


    However, this was the first time this unknown inheritance had descended onto the Azure Flower Continent.


    About half the time it took to make tea later.


    Zhao Feng had scouted the situation roughly within a two three hundred miles radius.


    After that he found a relatively safe small hill and started to rest.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering had gone on for ten to twenty days and any genius would feel tired.


    Zhao Feng needed to be in peak state to survive this place.


    Another reason was that Zhao Feng needed to consolidate his cultivation.


    In the Sacred True Dragon Gathering he had increased by leaps and bounds and the power of transferring across space made his mental energy rise rapidly.


    ¡°The profoundness of the Sky Stone Statues¡¯ figure is immeasurable and just touching it made my mental energy level rise to the peak True Mystic Rank and even close in on the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    He left a bit of energy to focus outside and started to cultivate.


    In the blink of an eye two to three days had passed and Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy, power and focus reached a peak. He had gained further comprehension with being one with nature.


    In just a thought Zhao Feng could absorb the surrounding Lightning Yuan Qi.


    ¡°My mental energy level is almost at the True Lord Rank and as long as I train it and comprehend the profoundness from the figure time will be the only thing standing in my way for my mental energy to reach the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    Since his mental energy had touched the True Lord Rank his cultivation speed would also rise quickly.


    This meant that there would be no difficulty for him to reach the early stages of the True Mystic Rank and could do so in just another day or two in seclusion.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had replayed the process of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and understood more of eye bloodlines.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had risen again and with this momentum he obviously wanted to keep on staying in seclusion.


    However, at this moment Zhao Feng heart a low growl and trembling.


    ¡°Are there beast hordes nearby?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    Many of the beasts here could threaten him and if he was unlucky and met a beast at the True Lord Rank then his life would be in danger.


    Ceng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure landed onto a hill as he surveyed the direction where the sound came from.


    Wu~


    Thirty miles away there was a black scaled crocodile dozens of yards long with dark red eyes and black lightning surrounded it.


    Wherever the black lightning went the ground would become scorched and start to smoke.


    ¡°What a weird lightning.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his Qi of True Spirit in his body tremble slightly.


    The lightning from the black scaled crocodile had a high conductivity and its power wasn¡¯t lower than Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Furthermore, it¡¯s tough body could take hits from the True Lord Rank.


    If Zhao Feng had to face this crocodile without his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he would definitely lose.


    ¡°Ha-ha, the scale of this ¡®Blackpool lightning crocodile¡¯ can block True Force attacks and is almost fully resilient towards lightning attacks. The ¡®lightning bone¡¯ and ¡®water heart pulse¡¯ are rare materials.¡±


    Three males and one female all around the age of twenty, obviously of the younger generation pursued the black scaled crocodile from behind.


    There was people!?


    Zhao Feng stared at the three males and one female in surprise.


    The black scaled crocodile was stronger than Goddess Bing Wei and Shi Chengtian. Apart from Yu Tianhao, probably no one was its match but these four had beaten the black scaled crocodile to a degree where it couldn¡¯t even fight back.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    The three males and one female soon surrounded the ¡®Blackpool lightning crocodile¡¯ and furiously attacked it.


    ¡°One peak True Mystic Rank, two late stages of the True Mystic Rank and one early stage True Mystic Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned over the four and his heart shook.


    The girl with the lowest cultivation displayed strength almost close to an overwhelming prodigy and the two-late stage True Mystic Ranks were on par with the overwhelming prodigies, or a bit stronger.


    As for the peak True Mystic Rank eagle eyed youth, his battle power was terrifying and beat the Blackpool lightning crocodile with every move. Across the entire Sacred True Dragon Gathering, probably only Yu Tianhao could fight him.


    If it weren¡¯t for the Blackpool lightning crocodiles defence, which was even stronger than Shi Chengtian¡¯s, it probably would have already been ripped into pieces.


    The eagle-eyed youth also seemed to be very casual and was looking around with wariness.


    ¡°What¡¯s the background of these people, could it be¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    The answer was obvious. If these people weren¡¯t natives from this place, then they might be geniuses from the outside world.


    ¡°Outside world geniuses!¡±


    These people were all around twenty and the eagle-eyed youth wasn¡¯t past thirty.


    Retreat!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart tightened. If he had to face these four he might have no ability to fight back at all.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth seemed to sense something, and a cold ray of light locked onto the hill Zhao Feng was on.


    Zhao Feng immediately used the Yin Shadow Cloak to hide himself.


    ¡°Li Xiao, Qing Xiaoxue, you two go over and check that place out. I feel as if we¡¯re being looked at. If it¡¯s people from the ¡®Black Cliff Palace¡¯, we¡¯ll be in trouble.¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth ordered.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    One of the males and the female went in different directions and locked onto a one hundred radius where Zhao Feng was at.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart dropped. If he ran, he definitely would be found.


    The Yin Shadow Cloak¡¯s invisibility effect would only be best when not moving and during night time. It wasn¡¯t night right now.


    At this instance.


    Qing Xiaoxue, the female started to close in where Zhao Feng was in seclusion before.


    Qing Xiaoxue was pretty and around seventeen to eighteen years old but had the cultivation of the early stages of the True Mystic Rank and not far away from the late stages.


    ¡°Not good, if she gets close to the place I was in seclusion, she¡¯ll definitely sense something.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression dimmed.


    The place where Zhao Feng was in seclusion before was a small cave which still had Zhao Feng¡¯s aura inside.


    Indeed.


    Qing Xiaoxue landed onto the hill and soon found Zhao Feng¡¯s aura with her spiritual sense and the place where he had sat.


    ¡°It¡¯s still warm and the aura hasn¡¯t dissipated yet. This person definitely hasn¡¯t gone far.¡±


    Qing Xiaoxue¡¯s eyes flashed as a cold smile appeared on his lips.


    A bug appeared on her hand which sniffed where Zhao Feng had sat.


    All of her actions were in Zhao Feng¡¯s control. He was only a few dozen yards away.


    ¡°Better to attack first than late.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought and turned into a blur that closed in on Qing Xiaoxue.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡±


    Since Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was higher than Qing Xiaoxue¡¯s, the latter only realised when Zhao Feng was right behind her.


    Eye of Illusion!


    Qing Xiaoxue¡¯s gaze landed on a freezing cold eye that enveloped her world.


    Shua!


    In the next instant.


    Qing Xiaoxue appeared in a freezing dimension.


    Lightning chains as thick as a fist bound her limbs and the coldness made her unable to move.


    ¡°Who are you? This is a mental energy illusion¡­. You¡¯re from the Black Cliff Palace?¡±


    Qing Xiaoxue screeched and counter attacked with her mental energy trying to break free from here.


    ¡°Black Cliff Palace? Never heard of them.¡±


    Zhao Feng paused. Looks like there was more than one force here.


    ¡°You don¡¯t know the Black Cliff Palace? Are you a native of the Purple Saint Ruins?¡±

 389 Purple Saint Ruins 2

    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved. Looks like this was the name of this place.


    The geniuses of the outside world obviously knew more information about here and there was more than one force in this so called ¡®Purple Saint Ruins.¡¯


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the Purple Saint Ruins.¡±


    Zhao Feng casually said as a whip made of lightning appeared in his hand.


    In this prison made of mental energy, the passing of time was different. One breath here could mean hours or even half a day in the real world. It just depended on Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level.


    Furthermore, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could allow Zhao Feng to use his Eye of Illusion to its full potential.


    Qing Xiaoxue¡¯s expression changed and seemed to guess Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline.


    If she didn¡¯t cooperate nicely and couldn¡¯t break free of here, she would have to endure Zhao Feng¡¯s limitless torture.


    The pain in the mental energy dimension was ten times to a hundred times more painful than physical pain.


    ¡°Don¡¯t do helpless struggling. Maybe you could cause some trouble for me in the real world but here the difference between you and me is bigger. Twenty hours here is one breath outside.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his lightning whip.


    Qing Xiaoxue¡¯s figure trembled. After all, she was a genius from a Clan and hadn¡¯t been through much life or death situations.


    Having been hit by Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Illusion she had no ability to fight back.


    ¡°You don¡¯t even know the Purple Saint Ruins! 8Could it be you¡¯re a genius from another faction? But how¡¯s that possible?¡±


    Qing Xiaoxue screeched as she suddenly remembered something and looked towards Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    Zhao Feng snickered: ¡°Why can you enter and not me?¡±


    ¡°The Purple Saint Ruins is controlled by the Three Strongest Sects of the Tianlu Islands and without the respective inheritance tokens, how can geniuses from other forces enter?¡±


    Qing Xiaoxue was speechless, as if she couldn¡¯t accept this reality.


    She came from the Tianlu Islands and the Purple Saint Ruins was something that could only be opened once every ten years.


    However, she had never heard of people other than the three sects be able to enter.


    How did this youth come in?


    Hearing up to here Zhao Feng started to think. The reason why he could also enter the Purple Saint Ruins was an ¡®accident¡¯ and the true reason was probably on Zhao Yufei.


    Qing Xiaoxue then cooperated very well and answered all the questions about the Purple Saint Ruins.


    After all, this information wasn¡¯t a secret and if she didn¡¯t cooperate she was just going to humiliate herself.


    Zhao Feng was very satisfied with her attitude.


    ¡°How many forces have entered the Purple Saint Ruins and what¡¯s the three Sects you talked about?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked directly.


    ¡°The Three Sects are the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace, all of them at least two-star forces. Apart from them there¡¯s also ten other elite one-star forces.¡±


    Qing Xiaoxue answered.


    Two-star sect!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically when he heard this.


    The ancient records said that forces were classified into five stars from one star to five stars, like a tower.


    Across the history of the Azure Flower Continent, the most powerful force was once the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion which was also a One-star force and close to a one-and-a-half-star force.


    The Iron Blood Religion that Zhao Feng was in was probably half a star or close to one star.


    As for the Thirteen Clans, all of them together wouldn¡¯t even be a half star force.


    Listening to Qing Xiaoxue, the background of these geniuses that had entered the Purple Saint Ruins were all at least at the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯s level.


    Above them were the three Sects, all at least at two stars.


    Two-star force was something that had never happened on the Azure Flower Continent.


    The requirement for a two-star force was to have a King at the Void God Realm and the Void God Realm was unimaginable for the Azure Flower Continent.


    This meant that any one or two of the forces behind these people could destroy the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°What¡¯s the strength of the geniuses that entered the Purple Saint Ruins? How do you guys fare?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked urgently.


    He would interact with them sooner or later.


    ¡°Our strength is low-mid amongst the geniuses here. Of the geniuses here, there¡¯s the ¡®Ten True Lords¡¯ who have all reached at least the peak True Lord Rank or even the half step Origin Core Realm. Even the four of us (Wind Snow Pavilion) together can¡¯t block one move of theirs.¡±


    Qing Xiaoxue replied somewhat bitterly when she mentioned the Ten True Lords with respect and wary.


    Ten True Lord Geniuses.


    Zhao Feng felt his heart become more solemn and a pressure he had never felt before.


    Putting aside the three Sects, just the four from the Wind Snow Pavilion wasn¡¯t something Zhao Feng could face. Even if all the five overwhelming prodigies arrived they would reach a draw.


    Qing Xiaoxue was the weakest of the four from the Wind Snow Pavilion.


    Zhao Feng now knew the situation about the Purple Saint Ruins. All that remained was about the Purple Saint Ruins itself.


    What kind of inheritance was this Purple Saint Ruins?


    ¡°The original owner of the Purple Saint Ruins was the Purple Night Sacred Lord whose cultivation reached the Mystic Light Realm and was just one step away from the Heavenly Divine Realm¡­.¡±


    Qing Xiaoxue slowly told the history of the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t in a rush since the passage of time here was different from the outside world.


    ¡°Apparently the Purple Night Sacred Lord had a faint bloodline from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races but died for some reason that no one knows. She left this ruins behind and although the Purple Night Sacred Lord has fallen, there¡¯s still a trace of her soul that has merged with these ruins which will choose the person most suited to inherit her line.¡±


    Zhao Feng quietly listened.


    There were many rumours about the Purple Saint Ruins that even made the eyes of Sovereigns and Void God Realm Kings red.


    Of course.


    The Purple Saint Ruins had always been controlled by the three Sects and even if some forces had red eyes, they didn¡¯t dare make a move even if they were Sovereigns.


    What kind of power did these three two-star sects combined have?


    Just a couple of the forces under these two-star sects could sweep across the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°The three sects are the Black Cliff Palace, a two-star sect. The Moon Demon Palace which was once a two-and-a-half-star sect but now has dropped to two stars. The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect which is currently the strongest and at two and a half stars. They are giants in the surrounding area.¡±


    Qing Xiaoxue was respectful but hateful at the same time when she mentioned the three sects.


    Being a subordinate clan of one stars, the Wind Snow Pavilion needed to give the Moon Demon Palace a large amount of resources every year.


    Island area?


    Zhao Feng felt as if these places were very far away from the Azure Flower Continent?


    ¡°Have you heard of any continents?¡±


    Zhao Feng tested.


    ¡°Continent? That¡¯s a legendary place which is too far away from us. After the Desolate Continent shattered and turned into billions of pieces, any speck became an area. Of course, there are some tiny islands that call themselves ¡®continents¡¯. They¡¯re frogs at the bottom of a well.¡±


    Qing Xiaoxue mocked.


    Hearing this Zhao Feng felt something was wrong, but he didn¡¯t delve further.


    The current task was to survive in the Purple Saint Ruins and meet up with Zhao Yufei and the little thieving cat.


    A breath later.


    Plop.


    Qing Xiaoxue¡¯s figure dropped onto the ground drenched in cold sweat.


    Pa!


    Zhao Feng sealed Qing Xiaoxue¡¯s Qi of True Spirit and her movement abilities.


    ¡°Xiaoxue!¡±


    From afar came a shout from Li Xiao, who was at the late stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    Li Xiao and Qing Xiaoxue had both went in separate directions to search and both in this zone.


    The two split the task and could help one another.


    Even though it was a breath or two, Li Xiao had realised that Qing Xiaoxue had disappeared and realised something was wrong.


    ¡°So cautious!¡±


    Zhao Feng realised he had underestimated the four geniuses from the Wind Snow Pavilion. Their force was on par with the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religions¡¯ level.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t know that the reason they were so cautious was because the geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace wasn¡¯t far from here.


    Sou!


    Li Xiao exclaimed and rushed over towards the hill where Li Xiaoxue last was. In reality, she had been hidden by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Xiaoxue¡¯s disappeared. It must be someone from the Black Cliff Palace.¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth and the other person far away had just finished off the Blackpool lightning crocodile and were splitting the spoils before receiving this news.


    Sou Sou---


    The remaining three geniuses from the Wind Snow Pavilion quickly rushed over towards the hill.


    ¡°Two late stage True Mystic Ranks and one peak True Mystic Rank. I probably can¡¯t hide anymore.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was stern.


    The geniuses that entered the Purple Saint Ruins had respective inheritance tokens and could sense one another if they were from the same group.


    To run or to battle?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind spun.


    He didn¡¯t have the ability to face all three.


    The eagle-eyed youth were Yu Tianhao¡¯s level and the other two late stage True Mystic Ranks were only stronger than Goddess Bing Wei.


    Even if he ran and the chances of escape were a bit bigger, it wasn¡¯t certain he would meet stronger geniuses.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye suddenly scanned the place and he thought of a plan.


    ¡°Although this plan is slightly risky it¡¯s worth a try. Once it succeeds it¡¯ll benefit me greatly.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he made his decision.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng lifted the exhausted and helpless Qing Xiaoxue then walked out and faced the three geniuses from the Wind Snow Pavilion.


    ¡°Xiaoxue!¡±


    Li Xiao who was at the front and the two behind him exclaimed.


    ¡°Bastard, how dare you kidnap Xiaoxue!?¡±


    Li Xiao¡¯s roar was mixed with shock and anger a. Seeing the person he loved be kidnapped his heart was on fire.


    ¡°If you dare come closer I¡¯ll wring her neck.¡±


    Zhao Feng coldly clutched Qing Xiaoxue¡¯s snow white neck.


    Holding Qing Xiaoxue hostage was Zhao Feng¡¯s first step in this plan.

 390 Steal

    Small hill.


    Zhao Feng took Qing Xiaoxue hostage. The latter¡¯s face was pale white and had no energy within her. Her powers had been sealed and didn¡¯t even had the ability to speak.


    The three geniuses of the Wind Snow Pavilion were shocked and angry but didn¡¯t dare make any rash moves.


    ¡°Bastard, let go of Xiaoxue then beg for forgiveness and we¡¯ll let you live.¡±


    The eagle eyed leading youth said coldly.


    His cultivation had reached the peak True Mystic Rank and his battle power comparable to Yu Tianhao. His steps were confident and have off a cold aura. Every action from him was enough to make normal True Spirit Realm¡¯s uneasy.


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly put more power on Qing Xiaoxue¡¯s throat.


    Qing Xiaoxue¡¯s face instantly turned green as she struggled and coughed with despair. It was obvious she was in pain.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    The expressions of Li Xiao and the other late stage True Mystic Rank changed and the eagle eyed youths¡¯ footsteps paused,


    He was secretly surprised as this blue haired youth was only at the early stages of the True Mystic Rank but wasn¡¯t moved by his pressure. It was as if he was very experienced in taking ¡®hostages.¡¯


    Furthermore, with the opponent¡¯s cultivation, how was he able to capture Qing Xiaoxue so easily?


    ¡°Hmph, I, Qiao Changting, hate being threatened. If she dies, I¡¯ll make you beg to die.¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth said darkly.


    Zhao Feng remained unmoved: ¡°If any of you take a step further I¡¯ll chop off one of her arms. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can try.¡±


    The three males looked at each other, not expecting this youth to be so experienced.


    Indeed, taking hostages wasn¡¯t Zhao Feng¡¯s first time doing so and he specialised at it.


    This method was very useful against powerful opponents.


    Back at the Water Moon Treasury he had kidnapped the mechanisms master and instantly turned the tides and blocked the three True Spirit Realms even though he was only at the Ascended Realm.


    He had kidnapped Empress Qin in the Capital of the Canopy Great Country and shocked the country.


    ¡°Kid what do you want?¡±


    Li Xiao couldn¡¯t restrain himself as the woman he loved was in such pain and could die anytime.


    ¡°Don¡¯t come close until I¡¯m ten miles away. Any movement will mean her death.¡±


    Zhao Feng said slowly.


    ¡°Who knows that you won¡¯t kill her afterwards?¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth said coldly.


    Ten miles? The eagle-eyed youth was slightly surprised because this distance wasn¡¯t far.


    ¡°I¡¯ll put her here and then you can rescue here after I pass ten miles. This is an honest deal.¡±


    Zhao Feng put Qing Xiaoxue onto the ground.


    Eh?


    The youths looked at each other and thought in their heart: ¡°Is this brat retarded? Putting the hostage down then running?¡±


    If he did that then the four from the Wind Snow Pavilion could rescue the hostage while pursuing him at the same time.


    All in all.


    Doing this put Zhao Feng in a shit situation and was ¡®honest¡¯ enough.


    ¡°Fine, we agree.¡±


    Li Xiao was overjoyed and immediately agreed.


    Although the three were suspicious they had decided that when Zhao Feng had put Qing Xiaoxue down and gone for several miles they could kill him.


    As for a promise? That wasn¡¯t worth anything.


    ¡°Fine, you can go now. We won¡¯t trouble you before you reach the ten miles radius.¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    Zhao Feng nodded then slowly walked away after putting Qing Xiaoxue down.


    ¡°He really left like this?¡±


    The three from the Wind Snow Pavilion couldn¡¯t believe their eyes.


    At this point in time the three held their breaths and stared at Zhao Feng in case he regretted this decision.


    After all, Zhao Feng was still close to Qing Xiaoxue while they still had a distance to go.


    However.


    One hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred yards¡­. One mile.


    Zhao Feng walked further and further and the three from the Wind Snow Pavilion were moved.


    ¡°Li Xiao, you¡¯re closest to Qing Xiaoxue. When that kids reached two miles, you immediately go and rescue her.¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth said.


    In their calculations, once Zhao Feng reached the two mile mark his threat towards the hostage would be very low.


    Li Xiao nodded his head and killing intent flashed in his eyes.


    As Zhao Feng was about to reach the two-mile mark.


    Li Xiao couldn¡¯t resist and made his move.


    However, at this moment.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Zhao Feng suddenly turned around and his left eye flashed with an azure flame.


    Whoosh!


    A half transparent lightning flame landed on Li Xiao and exploded and started to burn in his mental energy dimension.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡¯


    Li Xiao howled and fell onto the ground with a ¡®plop¡¯ as he circulated his Qi of True Spirit to put out the flames.


    In just a short while his mind and body had been scorched.


    This sudden change shocked the two behind.


    They had just been about to move when Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye locked onto Qing Xiaoxue with a half transparent lightning flame.


    Qing Xiaoxue had no resistance and if she was hit by the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye she would certainly die.


    ¡°Stop!¡¯


    The three yelled including Li Xiao who was still injured.


    The eagle-eyed youth with the highest cultivation took a deep breath and inspected Zhao Feng again.


    He admitted he had underestimated the enemy.


    The blue haired brat acted in an experienced manner and to put Qing Xiaoxue down first meant he had some sort of reliance.


    ¡°My eye technique¡¯s skills¡¯ range is ten miles and you¡¯ve seen how fast it goes.¡±


    Zhao Feng said expressionlessly as he turned around and went on his way again.


    Ten miles.


    The three felt incredulous.


    It wasn¡¯t as if they hadn¡¯t seen such a skill, but this range was unbelievable.


    Of course, this was only because Zhao Feng had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and ten miles was just a safe distance. However, the longer the distance the less power it was and when it reached a certain range, its attack was useless.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you one last chance or else she¡¯ll die.¡±


    Zhao Feng turned around and left.


    This time his retreating speed was much faster.


    Shua!


    An arc of lightning soon merged into the forests and in the Purple Saint Ruins, the spiritual sense of the eagle-eyed youth and company were decreased significantly and could only estimate where Zhao Feng was around.


    They didn¡¯t realise that in the forests Zhao Feng hid in a dark corner and a ¡®shadow¡¯ was released from him.


    As time passed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed became slower and slower.


    After half the time it took to make tea the three from the Snow Wind Pavilion couldn¡¯t hold it back.


    ¡°Brother Qiao, he¡¯s almost out of ten miles now.¡±


    Li Xiao said urgently.


    ¡°Li Xiao, you¡¯re responsible for rescuing Qing Xiaoxue. Lu Yuan, you help him.¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth distributed the tasks.


    Li Xiao was to rescue Qing Xiaoxue and Zhao Feng was now only a faint shadow.


    The other late stage True Mystic Rank Lu Yuan was to be the guard. At the front was the rescue and pursuit while behind them was the Blackpool lightning crocodile¡¯s corpse.


    After all, there was still more people than just the Snow Wind Pavilion and they needed to guard against geniuses from other forces.


    Sou!


    The peak True Mystic Rank eagle eyed youth flashed through the air and chased Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to kill this brat no matter what. He doesn¡¯t have the aura of an inheritance token and doesn¡¯t belong to any one of the three parties. He very likely has controlled a hole in the Purple Saint Ruins.¡±


    A cold light glinted in the eagle-eyed youth¡¯s eyes.


    From the first moment he had seen Zhao Feng he hadn¡¯t planned to let him go.


    With the eagle-eyed youth¡¯s speed, he soon caught up to ¡®Zhao Feng.¡¯


    ¡°Kid, give up now.¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth looked down and scanned the Zhao Feng running through the forest.


    However, the blue haired blur didn¡¯t respond and when the eagle-eyed youth was close enough to use his spiritual sense to lock onto the target, his expression changed.


    ¡°Not good! I¡¯ve been tricked!¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth waved his hand and a cold gust of wind destroyed ¡®Zhao Feng¡¯.


    Poof!


    The figure disappeared into the air like a dream.


    Zhao Feng had used his Yin Shadow Cloak to create a Yin Shadow Doppelganger and because his cultivation was high enough, this doppelganger had a certain amount of battle power.


    Due to the fact that spiritual sense was suppressed in the Purple Saint Ruins, they couldn¡¯t use their spiritual sense to detect things far away.


    The Yin Shadow Doppelganger had the cover of the forest and the eagle-eyed youth could only use their naked eye to track him.


    After all, not everyone was like Zhao Feng and had a God¡¯s Spiritual Eye which allowed him to not use Spiritual sense.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the fake body, then where¡¯s the real one?¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth felt that something was wrong.


    At the same time Lu Yuan who was on guard exclaimed: ¡°Thief! How dare you steal our spoils of war!?¡±


    Shua!


    A blue haired youth had appeared next to the Blackpool lightning crocodile.


    ¡°Hehe, distracting the tiger away from the mountain has succeeded.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed and took out a sharp weapon and he quickly cut through the Blackpool lightning crocodile and took the lightning bone and water heart pulse.


    In reality.


    The Blackpool lightning crocodile has already been cut open, but the spoils weren¡¯t taken yet.


    Zhao Feng had realised this and put his plans onto this idea.


    Now the strongest eagle-eyed man was about twenty miles away and Li Xiao as well as the rescued Qing Xiaoxue were about seven to eight miles away.


    Lu Yuan was the closest to Zhao Feng and was two to three miles away.


    Of course, just one overwhelming prodigy alone wasn¡¯t enough to threaten Zhao Feng.


    Shu Shu!


    Zhao Feng quickly took the lightning bone and water heart pulse off the crocodile.


    ¡°The Blackpool lightning crocodile has a faint ancient bloodline and is extinct in the Azure Flower Continent. The lightning bone of this crocodile is a top material for crafting a lightning elemental weapon and because it also contains the essence of lightning, it has the same uses as the Lightning Mystic Stone but better. The water heart pulse might be biased towards the water element but can strengthen one¡¯s meridians and heal hidden injuries. It can also increase one¡¯s body attributes as well as consolidate my foundation.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was filled with joy. With these two items his strength could rise by a whole level.


    ¡°How dare this brat steal our reward?¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth and company were so angry so that their noses almost became bent with madness.

 391 Black Cliff Palace

    The eagle-eyed man and company were all enraged and their eyes almost burst as they watched Zhao Feng steal their spoils.


    The Blackpool lightning crocodile had cost them a lot of time and effort to kill. It had a faint ancient bloodline within it and the lightning bone and water heart pulse was rare.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s movements were fast and quickly took the two most important parts of the crocodile.


    ¡°This fucking bastard!¡±


    Li Xiao who was recovering felt a fire engulf his heart and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    The eagle-eyed man¡¯s face was ugly, and his body started to tremble with fury: ¡°Put down the items and I¡¯ll let you live.¡±


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with the three people and turned into an arc of lightning that flashed into the distance.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the people from the Wind Snow Pavilion were bent on killing Zhao Feng they wouldn¡¯t have been tricked.


    Zhao Feng took these items without any guilt. If he had the strength he wouldn¡¯t let them live.


    The eagle-eyed man and other late stage True Mystic Rank obviously didn¡¯t give up and pursued from behind.


    However.


    Speed was Zhao Feng¡¯s forte and with his Three Flowered Treasured Lotus, it was even faster.


    Of the four from the Wind Snow Pavilion, only the eagle-eyed youth was able to barely keep up with Zhao Feng, but he was the furthest away as he had been tricked.


    After running a certain distance Zhao Feng put away the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus then used his Yin Shadow Cloak to camouflage himself and merge into the complex forest terrain.


    To be safe he even activated his bloodline power to create two Yin Shadow Doppelgangers to puzzle the pursuits.


    The Yin Shadow Doppelgangers could exist for a short amount of time and could move with the true body.


    Once it was alone it could be easily seen through by spiritual sense but in the Purple Sacred Ruins, spiritual sense was restricted heavily and hard to determine whether it was real or fake until one got very close.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng successfully escaped and left behind the people from the Wind Snow Pavilion who became flies without heads.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye found around ten figures heading in this direction from dozens of miles away.


    In the sky a black crow with dark red eyes full of coldness and cruelty surveyed the land dozens of miles around.


    The weird black crow first saw the people from the Wind Snow Palace then looked coldly towards Zhao Feng with disdain.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped and felt that the black crow wasn¡¯t simple as it could find him.


    ¡°Looks like I¡¯ve been eyed by another force.¡±


    A dangerous feeling surged in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart as he looked at the black crow then the closing in figures.


    It was obvious this black crow had the talent to see very far and could control every movement within dozens of miles.


    Both Zhao Feng and those from the Wind Snow Pavilion didn¡¯t escape the black crow¡¯s eyes.


    This was a battle of stealth and tracking.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    Zhao Feng quickly pulled away from the figures closing. He would rather face those from the Wind Snow Pavilion than these people.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye quickly scanned over these figures and found that their auras were all powerful and there was a cold mental energy that made Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to inspect too closely.


    After pulling a bit of distance, Zhao Feng made sure he wasn¡¯t in the black crow¡¯s sight.


    The second step.


    Eye of Heart!


    Zhao Feng locked onto the black crow in the sky with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Wisps of invisible mental energy flowed into the weird black crow.


    Although the crow¡¯s bloodline wasn¡¯t simple Zhao Feng¡¯s near True Lord Rank mental energy was enough to control it.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t fully control it because it had most likely signed a blood contract with its owner.


    Under the influence of the Eye of heart, Zhao Feng made the black crow ignore him.


    Therefore.


    In this black crow¡¯s mind, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t a target anymore. This power was similar to hypnosis but obviously at a higher level.


    The black crow stopped momentarily in the air for a breath or two before continuing to survey those from the Wind Snow Pavilion.


    ¡°Looks like the geniuses from the Wind Snow Pavilion are in danger now.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel any sympathy.


    If he made the black crow ignore everyone it would definitely make its owner be on guard.


    At the same time.


    Ten figures wearing dark clothes landed on a mountain twenty to thirty miles away.


    One of them was a sharp faced youth wearing a black nose ring with an ugly face. He wore a black and gold robe with pictures of bones on it. There was a total of nine including human and beast shapes.


    ¡°Eh? I think there was a trace of mental energy just then that affected the ¡®black demon crow¡¯.¡±


    The sharp faced youth put his hands on his hips as his green bean eyes lit up with a white flame.


    A faint black ripple radiated from him to a ten miles radius. The beasts nearby including the ones in the air instinctively pulled away from them.


    The nearby peak True Mystic Rank figures all felt a large pressure.


    ¡°Brother Chi Gui, with the ¡®black demon crow¡¯s¡¯ bloodline power, how would it be influenced by others? Isn¡¯t it perfectly fine right now?¡±


    A youth as thin as a stick said respectfully.


    ¡°Oh well, never mind that, we¡¯ll finish off the targets first. These people have inheritance tokens and its aura seems to be a subordinate clan of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.¡±


    ¡°Chi Gui¡± with the pierced nose nodded his head.


    With a wave of his hands five figures flew out. Two of them were at the peak True Mystic Rank, three late stages of the True Mystic Rank. Each one of them was stronger than normal overwhelming prodigies of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The five figures were like ghosts in the dark that soon locked onto the area the four from the Wind Snow Pavilion.


    ¡°Not good! That¡¯s the black demon crow. The Black Cliff Palace is coming! Retreat!¡±


    The eagle-eyed youth¡¯s expression changed dramatically and was tensed up.


    Black Cliff Palace.


    The four from the Wind Snow Pavilion panicked and immediately retreated.


    However, the Black Cliff Palace had already almost surrounded them.


    The black demon crow in the air suddenly expanded to two or three yards then summoned black fumes and attacked.


    Hu!


    A weird black fume enveloped the area those from the Wind Snow Pavilion were at.


    The fumes made those inside lose direction and limit their sight. This black fume even contained a poison that created illusions.


    At this moment in time.


    Zhao Feng had already run out dozens of miles and hid inside a forest while inspecting the situation with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The black fumes the black demon crow unleashed even affected Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, but he was still able to see the overall scene.


    In the first round of attacks the black crow attacked the weakest Qing Xiaoxue and Li Xiao.


    Li Xiao courageously protected Qing Xiaoxue but facing the black demon crow¡¯s furious attacks and due to him being in the fumes, in just a few exchanges there was several bloody gashes on his body.


    The five geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace then charged into the black fumes.


    ¡°Looks like none of the Wind Snow Pavilion will be able to escape.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    While he retreated he occasionally opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to spectate.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­. Wu! Roar!¡±


    From the area of black fumes came weird laughs and the roar of beasts.


    Zhao Feng looked closely and saw a bronze corpse about two yards tall with lines of silver around it.


    Apart from this there was also a beast the size of a small mountain and a pitch-black skeleton.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    Li Xiao screamed as his heart was pierced by the black demon crow and fell in a puddle of blood.


    Qing Xiaoxue fainted and the remaining two burned their Qi of True Spirit as they fought crazily.


    A while later.


    Zhao Feng had pulled a hundred miles away from the black fumes and couldn¡¯t clearly see what was happening anymore.


    Shua!


    At this time the black fumes faded leaving behind several corpses.


    Of the four from the Wind Snow Palace only the peak True Mystic Rank eagle eyed youth had barely escaped after burning his Qi of True Spirit and losing one of his arms.


    The remaining three had all died and their bodies were ravaged. The most complete one was Qing Xiaoxue, but her skin was filled with red and green marks as it was exposed.


    Even for someone as calm as Zhao Feng, his heart went cold.


    To complete this the Black Cliff Palace had only sent half their people and of the five, only two or three had attacked.


    ¡°This sucks, the Wind Snow Pavilion only had this many items? The chick was pretty good though.¡±


    Shua Shua Sou!


    The youth with the pierced nose ¡°Chi Gui¡± led the other four over.


    The black demon crow obediently sat on Chi Gui¡¯s hand.


    ¡°I¡¯ve read the black demon crow¡¯s memories and there was another person here. That person not only escaped from the black demon crow¡¯s line of sight and even eroded the crows heart to avoid being tracked.¡±


    The voice of the pierced nose youth sounded as if it came from the grave.


    Hearing this the expressions of the others changed.


    ¡°How is this possible!?¡±


    ¡°Apart from us, the Black Cliff Palace, who else has this ability in the Purple Saint Ruins and successfully hid from Brother Chi Gui¡¯s blood pact crow?¡±


    One had to know that this youth with the pierced nose had reached the early stages of the True Lord Rank and he could easily kill the four from the Wind Snow Pavilion alone.


    Apart from the Ten True Lords, no one could make Chi Gui attack in the Purple Saint Ruins.


    ¡°I¡¯ve very interested in that person. But the weird thing is that in the black demon crow¡¯s memories, it seems like his aura doesn¡¯t belong to any of the three parties.¡±


    Chi Gui extended his tongue and lips his ugly face.


    ¡°What, is there others apart from the three forces here?¡±


    The people obviously didn¡¯t believe this.


    ¡°I have a strange feeling as if that person is watching our every move¡­ I¡¯m going to pull that person out.¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s eyes turned ghostly white as he looked into the distance.


    At the same instance.


    Zhao Feng had escaped over a hundred miles and was slightly relaxed as he looked back at that area.


    At the point Chi Gui was watching over here and Zhao Feng¡¯s eye clashed with Chi Gui¡¯s ghostly white eyes. The second he did so he felt a coldness erode into his mental energy dimension.


    ¡°He also has an eye bloodline and is a special control type.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped and although he was certain that Chi Gui hadn¡¯t found his exact location, he still knew the whereabouts.


    This was an invisible battle between eye bloodlines

 392 Sent Flying

    Using the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s super eyesight, Zhao Feng pulled further and further away from the people of the Black Cliff Palace.


    In terms of eye sight, nothing surpassed Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, including the black demon crow in the sky that belonged to the Black Cliff Palace.


    However, in the Purple Saint Ruins, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was also restricted and felt hard pressed after two hundred or so miles.


    On the way Zhao Feng was very careful as there wasn¡¯t just the Black Cliff Palace around. Furthermore, the ruins were also very dangerous.


    Zhao Feng travelled four to five hundred miles and finally found a quiet and calm spot.


    ¡°I¡¯ll first increase my cultivation. The lightning bone and water heart pulse of the Blackpool lightning crocodile will make things much easier.¡±


    Zhao Feng walked into a stealthy cave.


    In this dangerous Purple Saint Ruins with no one to guard and protect him, cultivating in seclusion was extremely dangerous.


    At this time Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes¡¯ power was unleashed.


    He knew some arrays and had some materials of which he was able to create a stealth array within a few miles.


    However, even then Zhao Feng still left a bit of his consciousness in the outside world.


    Zhao Feng sat cross legged on the ground and took out the Blackpool lightning crocodiles lightning bone. It was a jade-like bone with the occasional flicker of dark lightning.


    The lightning bone wasn¡¯t just the storage of the Blackpool lightning crocodile¡¯s lightning. It also contained the profoundness of the nature of lightning.


    In terms of value this lightning bone was even worth more than the Lightning Mystic Stone Zhao Yufei gave him.


    Zhao Feng put his two hands onto the lightning bone and a Qi of True Spirit with lightning appeared on his palm.


    As time passed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body flashed with lightning and the connection between him and Lightning Yuan Qi became even stronger.


    In just a thought Zhao Feng could summon several more times Lightning Yuan Qi, something that only those at the True Lord Rank could do.


    Unknowingly, the insights gained from the transferring across space was being merged into Zhao Feng.


    ¡°My mental energy is now comparable to the True Lord Rank.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    He started to absorb the essence of lightning within the lightning bone and started to comprehend it.


    Because of his high mental energy level, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation speed was insanely quick, and the Lightning Yuan Qi cleansed his body and purified his Qi of True Spirit.


    Within half a day, Zhao Feng had stepped into the early stages of the True Mystic Rank. After all, at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering he was already quite close to it.


    And at this moment only half the lightning bone was absorbed.


    ¡°With my mental energy level, the Eye of Illusion, Eye of Heart, Eye of Ice Soul have all risen in power. However, the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye has only had a slight increase as it requires the True Spirit Lightning Flame in the body.¡±


    Zhao Feng started thinking.


    The remaining half of the lightning bone and water heart pulse could increase Zhao Feng¡¯s foundation and by relying on his True Lord Rank mental energy level, he had a 50% chance to reach the late stages of the True Mystic Rank within ten days.


    However, Zhao Feng decided against this.


    Firstly, the Purple Saint Ruins was too dangerous and if he was unlucky geniuses might come by and interrupt his cultivation.


    Ten days to half a month was far too long and Zhao Feng could use this time instead to explore the place and search for fortune.


    Secondly, the rapid increase in cultivation meant an unstable foundation and one¡¯s strength didn¡¯t rise dramatically when reaching the late stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°Why not use the remaining half of lightning bone to refine my True Spirit Lightning Flame and use the water heart pulse to strengthen my meridians and body, to set a solid foundation for the future.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a sharp sense in making decisions.


    If he did this Zhao Feng¡¯s strength would increase and create a better future.


    Over the next day Zhao Feng used the essence of lightning within the lightning bone to refine his True Spirit Lightning Flame and his True Spirit Lightning Flame¡¯s power increased by a small level.


    The reason why he chose to increase the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eyes¡¯ power was because this skill countered the wicked path.


    If Zhao Feng met the geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace again then he would have more of a chance.


    Crack!


    The lightning bone split into pieces and fell onto the ground.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and absorbed the profoundness of lightning that was unleashed from it.


    By merging his Lightning Inheritance with the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible then absorbing the natural laws of lightning from the Lightning Mystic Stone and lightning bone, Zhao Feng¡¯s skill had surpassed its original limits.


    Furthermore, the power of transferring across space had also opened Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes to another world and his skills, mental energy level had both increased.


    Within his mind.


    The third floor of the Lightning Inheritance lit up and around it was sizzles of lightning.


    ¡°I¡¯ve understood most of the Lightning Inheritance and merged many other things into it.¡±


    When Zhao Feng opened his eyes the Lightning Mystic Flower mark on his forehead became even brighter.


    To comprehend the Lightning Inheritance to this level usually required the cultivation of the late stages of the True Lord Rank, but Zhao Feng was only at the early stages of the True Mystic Rank yet had the mental energy strength of a True Lord Rank.


    ¡°It¡¯s about it.¡±


    Zhao Feng then started to eat the water heart pulse.


    The Blackpool lightning crocodile¡¯s body was extremely strong, and Zhao Feng had witnessed the four Wind Snow Pavilion geniuses attack it for a long time before killing it. If the Blackpool lightning crocodile was a bit faster, they probably would¡¯ve not been able to kill it.


    The water heart pulse was the core of the crocodile¡¯s strong body and after eating it, one could increase their body strength and strengthen their meridians.


    Without a doubt Zhao Feng split the faint black heart into three pieces then ate it.


    The reason he did this was because he was scared the energy contained within it was too strong.


    Zhao Feng had focused on body strengthening when he was at the Ascended Realm and endured a lot of pain.


    However, the energy within this water heart pulse was much calmer than before and released a cool soft power after it entered the body.


    Through the process Zhao Feng felt his body become stronger and even his bones were changed.


    Zhao Feng had felt a major effect just by eating the first piece. His meridians and even dantian had widened.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad.¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his Qi of True Spirit and with the enlargement of meridians, he felt it was much smoother and increased his cultivation speed.


    Because Zhao Feng didn¡¯t focus on body strengthening anymore and his body was now considerably weak compared to others, the water heart pulse had a major effect on him. If it were Shi Chengtian then there would be not much increase.


    The enlargement of his dantian and increase in strength of his flesh ignited Zhao Feng¡¯s potential.


    When all three pieces were eaten Zhao Feng¡¯s body became stronger and his cultivation even rose a bit.


    Most importantly, Zhao Feng¡¯s foundation was now solid and meant his cultivation speed from now would be faster.


    Just one fist based on pure body strength alone from Zhao Feng now could kill a weak True Human Rank.


    After the lightning bone and water heart pulse was expended Zhao Feng closed his eyes and decided to comprehend for another day.


    Two hours later.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his stealth array sense something.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng turned into an arc of lightning that disappeared from the cave and at the same time three dark figures two miles out closed in on the cave Zhao Feng was originally in.


    The leader was a man with black chains wrapped around his arms. He was extremely skinny and was like a human skeleton. His eyes were dark and flashed red.


    On his left and right was a male and female respectively.


    The former was a bulky man holding a blade jagged blade. The latter was a cold girl holding a black lotus with a black snake under her feet.


    When these three walked together, they brought a cold, bloody aura with them. No matter how you looked at them you could tell they weren¡¯t of the Righteous Path.


    ¡°How did the people from the Black Cliff Palace find this place?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed.


    His path of retreat had no specific direction and even purposely passed through some dangerous spots to guard against being pursued.


    The leading man with chains had reached the peak True Mystic Rank and his aura was a bit stronger than the eagle-eyed man from before.


    The man with the jagged blade and black lotus girl were both at the late stages of the True Mystic Rank and stronger than Tantai Lanyue and Goddess Bing Wei.


    ¡°Are we here? A measly youth at the early stage True Mystic Rank needed us, the Wicked Teeth group? What a waste.¡±


    The man was the jagged blade moaned.


    The black snake underneath the girl¡¯s feet stuck out its tongue and aimed towards Zhao Feng¡¯s cave.


    ¡°This snake specialises in tracking and followed here because of my aura. But how was the people from the Black Cliff Palace able to confirm which was my aura?¡±


    Zhao Feng understood the reason he was found but was also puzzled.


    At this point in time the Wicked Teeth group closed in on the cave Zhao Feng was in and three spiritual senses locked onto this area.


    ¡°Hmm!?¡±


    The three revealed a look of surprise. There was no one within the cave but it was still warm and full of Lightning Yuan Qi. There were even footstep marks here.


    From these details one could be certain that the person hadn¡¯t gotten far away.


    ¡°He¡¯s definitely close by.¡±


    The leading man¡¯s eyes flashed red.


    Not good!


    As the three were about to split up a ¡®hum¡¯ of lightning sounded behind their back and immediately following that was the summon of Lightning Yuan Qi.


    The atmosphere in the air became tense as if a storm was about to arrive.


    ¡°Ice Lightning Raging Dragon!¡±


    Lightning surged, and a cold gust of wind blew from behind. The roar of a dragon could be faintly heard.


    In that instance a chaotic dragon made of lightning and ice charged over and flattened everything within a hundred yards radius.


    Boom----


    Before the Wicked Teeth group saw the figure clearly the dragon of ice and lightning had arrived, and they could only activate their secret techniques to defend as they had to time to dodge.


    Bam Bam Bam!


    The three figures were sent flying, leaving behind a large hole on the ground in the shape of a dragon. The earth had cracked, and black smokes rose. The cave Zhao Feng originally was at had disappeared and this area was soon covered by dust.

 393 Powerful Combination

    Black smoke and dust covered this arena and the Wicked Teeth group was sent flying from the attack from behind.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The three figures roared as they flipped in the air and landed onto three spots.


    Wah! Wah!


    The man with the jagged blade and the girl with the black lotus both spat out a mouthful of blood as they landed unsteadily on the ground with severe injuries.


    The black lotus girl with the weakest defeat half kneeled onto the ground with a pale face and red eyes: ¡°Little black poison----¡±


    The snake under her feet had been blasted into pieces by the Ice Lightning Raging Dragon.


    The girl with the black lotus had a cold expression and stared at the blue haired figure in the dust with deadly eyes.


    Of the Wicked Teeth group, only the ¡®chained skeleton man¡¯ wasn¡¯t too injured but there were some scorches on his body and his expression was ugly.


    ¡°En, that wasn¡¯t bad. The reaction of these three and their strength is stronger than expected.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction.


    After finding out that the Wicked Teeth group were closing in Zhao Feng¡¯s first reaction was to ambush them and not run.


    The aura within the cave was extremely obvious and purposely left behind by him to hook them in.


    Hence came this scene of the Wicked Teeth group being ambushed by Zhao Feng.


    However, what surprised Zhao Feng was that the Ice Lightning Raging Dragon didn¡¯t manage to kill any one of them.


    ¡°Shameless brat, how dare you ambush the Wicked Teeth group?¡±


    ¡°Bastard, I¡¯m going to peel your skill and eat your meat then refine you into a ghost corpse for killing my little black poison.¡±


    The man with the jagged black and girl with the black lotus had killing intent so strong that it seemed to condense.


    This was especially so for the girl with the black lotus. Her face was contorted and as white as paper. She was dim to a point like a ghost that chilled others to the bone.


    However, these two were severely injured and couldn¡¯t counter attack within a short amount of time.


    ¡°Brat, you¡¯ve gotten bored of living. Ambushing us instead of running?¡±


    The chained skeleton man smiled as he jingled his chains.


    Zhao Feng felt uneasy in the centre of the black smoke.


    In terms of strength every one of the Wicked Teeth three were stronger than normal overwhelming prodigies.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s situation wasn¡¯t very good.


    Even though the three had been sent flying, they perfectly formed a triangle that surrounded Zhao Feng.


    Such reaction and teamwork showed their experience.


    Zhao Feng was the ambusher but was now surrounded.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see how strong the geniuses of the outer world are.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any signs of retreat and instead his battle intent surged.


    Huala!


    The chained skeleton man waved his arms and black iron chains shot out with a deadly glimmer. With a ¡®wu¡¯, it shook the soul and pierced the ears.


    Sou! Huhu----


    The air seemed to be filled with metal snakes with the aura of death and shot towards Zhao Feng at nasty angles.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure turned into a streak of lightning and the metal snakes seemed to be alive as they came back around even if it was dodged.


    Peng! Bam! Boom---


    A deep abyss was left where Zhao Feng was originally at and the stone seemed to be cut through like tofu.


    The chained skeleton man was extremely powerful and had cultivated in a body strengthening technique of the Wicked path. The chains he jingled around were filled with the air of death and even a True Lord Rank would be injured when hit by it. Those under the True Lord Rank would lose half their life if their bones weren¡¯t shattered into pieces.


    ¡°This skeleton man has monstrous strength and across the entire Sacred True Dragon Gathering probably only Yu Tianhao can fight him.¡±


    Zhao Feng was secretly moved.


    If it weren¡¯t for his fast speed and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s control, he would most likely be suppressed by the man and forced into a desperate situation.


    Weng~


    An eye catching flower made of ice and lightning in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm and it instantly blossomed as it clashed with the skeleton man for the first time.


    As the lightning and ice exploded a coldness and electricity was sent everywhere.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s target wasn¡¯t the skeleton man himself but the chains in his hand.


    Si! Si!


    The surface of the chains the skeleton man jingled started to smoke and its movement became slightly rigid.


    The power of lightning perfectly countered the Wicked path and the ice could freeze metallic weapons.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t immediately attack the opponent but restrained their strength.


    ¡°You two come over and help.¡±


    The skeleton man roared. The chains in his hand weren¡¯t as agile as before and a sizzle of lightning numbed his body.


    The jagged blade male and girl with the black lotus were both surprised. The skeleton man couldn¡¯t take care of Zhao Feng?


    They didn¡¯t immediately attack before was because they had just stopped their injuries and were stopping Zhao Feng from escaping.


    These three had worked together for a long time but Zhao Feng had no intentions to run anyways and fought more and more courageously with the skeleton man.


    ¡°Bastard, die---¡±


    The man with the jagged blade licked his lips and his jagged blade started to spin with a high speed and cold glint.


    Shuuuuu------


    The rotating blade was like a chainsaw that pierced through the air.


    Before the attack even arrived Zhao Feng felt his skin go cold as if he was being chopped up.


    Of the three the man with the jagged blade specialised in offense and breaking through defense. The rotating blade spun at a level where even Shi Chengtian¡¯s turtle shell could be cut open.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. If he was hit by this¡­¡­


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body suddenly split into two or three figures that dodged and evaded the enemy¡¯s attacks.


    Both the skeleton man¡¯s chains and the chainsaw weren¡¯t something to be fought against under the True Lord Rank.


    And these two monsters were both in the same group.


    Then what kind of strength would the remaining girl with the black lotus have? Zhao Feng didn¡¯t believe she was responsible for only tracking.


    As expected.


    The black lotus girl half kneeled on the ground and intertwined her hands as the black lotus suddenly opened and a black light extended out.


    The area within one mile was instantly enveloped by this layer of black mist.


    The senses of those in the black mist was restricted heavily but her partners weren¡¯t affected at all.


    Immediately following after screeches came from the black mist that attacked the mental energy level.


    Looking closely Zhao Feng saw four to five human shaped ghosts were the air of death charge towards him.


    ¡°The people from the Black Cliff Palace control Yin spectres and ghosts.¡±


    Under the gaze of Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye these ghosts were all seen.


    These ghosts did physical attacks but mainly focused on mental energy attacks to erode and even eat the blood of alive humans.


    Before when the four from the Wind Snow Pavilion were fighting Zhao Feng had seen these.


    At that time the geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace had only used these and managed to slaughter those from the Wind Snow Pavilion.


    ¡°Junior, I won¡¯t kill you immediately but torture you bit by bit.¡±


    The girl with the black lotus said coldly with a face as white as paper.


    These human shaped ghosts were formed from Yin Spectres and the air of death. Each of them had the strength of the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    Facing these four or five ghosts it meant Zhao Feng was facing the same amount of early stage True Mystic Ranks.


    ¡°Measly ghosts dare to attack me?¡±


    Zhao Feng had no fear at all and instead felt his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye jump with excitement.


    Break!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye suddenly shot out a brilliant light that seemed to scare the ghosts and demons.


    ¡°Arghhhh!¡±


    These ghosts suddenly all screeched as if they had met their nemesis.


    Shush! Shush!


    Two of the ghosts at the front started to smoke then scattered into dust.


    The remaining ghosts started to tremble in fear and didn¡¯t dare come close to Zhao Feng and disobeyed the girl in black lotus¡¯ orders. Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely mysterious and powerful. These ghost didn¡¯t dare come close to it.


    ¡°How could his eye bloodline counter¡­?¡±


    The black lotus girl exclaimed.


    Just one glare from Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had scattered these ghosts.


    The skeleton man and chainsaw man were both shocked.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s usage of lightning had reached a high mastery and combined with his Yin Shadow Cloak it was full of illusions.


    The two of them combined hadn¡¯t even threatened Zhao Feng. Of course if Zhao Feng was to clash head on with any one of them it wouldn¡¯t be easy and clashing with the two he would be at a disadvantage. From this one could see the skeleton and chainsaw men had overwhelming battle power.


    ¡°This skeleton man is extremely strong and his defense is powerful. He specialises in close combat and holding back the enemy and is the strongest. The chainsaw man specialises in breaking through defense and the girl with the black lotus in the support who controls the ghosts¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng had understood the roles of the three.


    He hadn¡¯t used his full strength just then and only activated 70% of his bloodline and none of the four eye techniques were used.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case I can finish all three with three moves.¡±


    While Zhao Feng saw their strengths he also saw their weaknesses.


    At this point in time the situation changed.


    ¡°Wicked Bone secret technique!¡±


    The skeleton man exclaimed as his body cracked.


    Crack crack cracck!


    His entire figure rose by another yard and a dark grey air surrounded him which increased his power and Qi of True Spirit¡¯s power.


    The taller skeleton man¡¯s strength was almost comparable to a normal True Lord Rank.


    Huala!


    Under the Wicked Bone secret technique the chains of the skeleton man started to burn with grey flames.


    Boom!


    The ground below started to crack, erode and fall. Just he alone forced Zhao Feng to retreat.


    ¡°Brat, the Wicked Bone group combined has the ability to fight those at the True Lord Rank. By staying behind, it shows that you don¡¯t know how high the Heavens are.¡±


    The man with the jagged man smiled gruesomely and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the chainsaw.


    Wuuuuu~~~~~~~~


    The jagged edges started to tremble and flew through the air as it chased Zhao Feng from a long range.


    At the same time.


    The girl with the black lotus who was half kneeling on the ground swiped her hand and two three yards tall green bronze ghost corpses were summoned. Each of them had auras close to the peak True Mystic Rank and had a chilling air of death with them.

 394 Death

    When the critical moment came, the Wicked Teeth group all showed their strength.


    The skeleton man used his Wicked Bone secret technique and grew in rise as all his attributes rose and his battle power came close to the True Lord Rank.


    The chainsaw man activated a secret technique and started to rotate the jagged edges at higher speed and could attack at long range.


    The girl with the black lotus summoned two green bronze ghost corpses whose battle power was almost at the peak True Mystic Rank and pincer attacked Zhao Feng.


    The combination of the three was said to be perfect. Close combat was the skeleton man who had cultivated a body strengthening technique with powerful defense.


    The chainsaw man was there for long range combat who specialised in breaking through defense.


    The girl with the black lotus was support and the green bronze ghost corpses she summoned could help or ambush.


    At this point in time Zhao Feng was surrounded as he realised that he was underestimated the Wicked Teeth group.


    Such a powerful combination could even block a True Lord Rank head on.


    Wu Weng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline was fully activated and a figure wearing a crown and holding a black sword appeared sitting on a throne of ice.


    ¡°Domain of the Ice King!¡±


    An invisible coldness started to radiate from the throne of ice and surround dozens of yards.


    Anyone or any attack that came within this range would slow down or be frozen.


    The Domain of the Ice King was a skill that Zhao Feng learnt based from Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s Domain of Ice. He had based it on his own bloodline and the reason why it was called the Domain of the Ice King was because of the figure and throne behind Zhao Feng.


    This move had an obvious effect.


    Although the skeleton man was strong and his battle power was terrifying, once he came within range of the Domain of the Ice King his speed would decrease by 20 - 30%.


    Adding on the speed Zhao Feng already had the skeleton man¡¯s threat towards him was greatly lowered.


    If it were another True Mystic Rank that didn¡¯t have such a strong body, they would probably be hard pressed to move when they were within the Domain of the Ice King.


    Unfortunately the chainsaw man and the black lotus girl didn¡¯t specialise in close combat.


    The two green bronze ghost corpses froze when they came within the Domain of the Ice King and their speed dropped by 50%.


    This meant that the enemies that specialised in close combat were restricted by Zhao Feng¡¯s Domain of the Ice King.


    Up to now Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline was stronger than before and after seeing so many geniuses use it, his usage of bloodline was also better.


    Xiuu------


    A quickly rotating blade flew over in a deadly angle and chopped at Zhao Feng¡¯s leg. The man¡¯s long range attacks had locked onto Zhao Feng and the latter evaded with danger every time because he still had to deal with the skeleton man and the two green bronze ghost corpses.\


    ¡°The chainsaw guy¡¯s the most dangerous.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed coldly as he decided to finish off the battle quickly.


    Before this he wanted to see what element the Black Cliff Palaces¡¯ skills were and now he knew.


    Shua!


    The Yin Shadow Cloak flapped and three figures tried to escape the black mist.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ it¡¯s too late now to escape.¡±


    The Wicked Teeth group blocked in Zhao Feng¡¯s escape route.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The three fake figures were all destroyed.


    ¡°That side! Chainsaw watch out!¡±


    The girl with the black lotus who controlled the black mist soon found a stealthy figure quickly closing in on the chainsaw man.


    ¡°Haha! Want to kill me?¡±


    The chainsaw man said with a playful smile as the highly rotating blade shot back to his hand and with his chainsaw at hand he wasn¡¯t scared of close combat.


    However.


    Zhao Feng kept on closing in.


    Eye of Ice Soul!


    The blue haired youth¡¯s left eye suddenly became a freezing pond that sent limitless coldness into his mind.


    ¡°Wu¡­.¡±


    The chainsaw man¡¯s face became cold and his body started to tremble as if he was frozen.


    Pa!


    A flower of ice and lightning bloomed from Zhao Feng¡¯s hand and shattered his body.


    ¡°Chainsaw!¡±


    The skeleton man and girl with black lotus were dazed from the shock.


    They didn¡¯t believe that Zhao Feng who was just in a desperate situation had just turned around and killed one of them.


    They couldn¡¯t believe that the jagged blade man just stood there and let Zhao Feng kill him. It was as if he was frozen but there was no signs of ice anywhere.


    ¡°The Eye of Ice Soul is connected to mental energy. The higher my mental energy level the more I can use my God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes¡¯ power.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised.


    His mental energy level had technically reached the True Lord Rank and the chainsaw man was only at the late stages of the True Mystic Rank. He obviously had no chance to fight back against the Eye of Ice Soul.


    Even the skeleton man and black lotus girls¡¯ mental energy hadn¡¯t reached the True Lord Rank.


    This meant that Zhao Feng only needed to look three times to kill the Wicked Teeth group.


    At this instance.


    The skeleton man and black lotus girl were absolutely stunned.


    ¡°That¡¯s a mental energy eye skill! Using an ice elemental attack to freeze the opponent¡¯s consciousness¡­.¡±


    The girl with the black lotus soon understood. After all, she also specialised in mental energy.


    When she understood the reasoning her heart dropped.


    Although her mental energy source was more powerful than the chainsaw man¡¯s, there wasn¡¯t an overwhelming difference.


    If Zhao Feng could finish off the chainsaw man in just one move with no resistance from the latter at all, he could most likely finish her off in one move as well.


    However, she didn¡¯t know Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level was at the True Lord Rank and his mental energy source was several times stronger than others of the same rank.


    ¡°So that¡¯s what happened! But my cultivation is much higher than this brat so I shouldn¡¯t be scared.¡±


    The skeleton man with the chains relaxed and teamed up with the two green bronze ghost corpses as he continued to close in on Zhao Feng.


    Now.


    The two didn¡¯t have any confidence to kill Zhao Feng and only hoped to hold Zhao Feng back until the reinforcements of the Black Cliff Palace arrived.


    ¡°As long as Brother Chi Gui arrives this brat won¡¯t be able to survive.¡±


    The black lotus girl thought.


    Zhao Feng smiled: ¡°Your reinforcements are still two hundred miles away.¡±


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had seen the black demon crow in the air two hundred miles out.


    Hearing this the expression of the two changed dramatically.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s bloodline is terrifying¡­.¡±


    The two took a cold breath.


    While Zhao Feng was fighting he had split his attention. This meant that he was just toying with them.


    In reality, apart from the fact that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use his eye bloodline before, he had used all his strength.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could do multiple things at once.


    ¡°Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye flashed with a half transparent lightning flame.


    Shooosh!


    The chained man suddenly started to burn and the fire extended throughout his body.


    ¡°Arghhhh¡­..¡±


    The man yelled as his body was scorched and his Wicked skills countered.


    ¡°The Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eyes¡¯ power has risen quite a bit and perfectly counters this body strengthening technique of the Wicked path.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Before when he purposely refined his True Spirit Lightning Flame was to increase the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eyes¡¯ power to deal with the geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace.


    Both lightning and fire were the bane of the Wicked.


    In just a few breaths the skeleton chained man had turned into ashes.


    The Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye attacked both the physical and mental energy world and killed the man through both dimensions.


    ¡°Senior martial brother!¡±


    The remaining black lotus girl had a pale face.


    She couldn¡¯t imagine what sort of nightmare this was. In just two glances, two of the three Wicked Teeth group were killed, of which the peak True Mystic Rank skeleton man was included.


    Plop!


    Her knees went weak as she kneeled on the ground and wept: ¡°Please, forgive me¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye perfectly countered the Black Cliff Palace¡¯s Wicked path skills and in just one eye she would be sent to Heaven.


    Even the strong body strengthening skeleton man had only survived a few breaths before dying.


    ¡°Put away your ghost corpses.¡±


    Zhao Feng said coldly.


    ¡°Yes yes!¡±


    The girl with the black lotus waved her hands and the black mist disappeared along with the two green bronze ghost corpses.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng flashed and a wave of lightning and ice enveloped the girl.


    ¡°Ah!¡±


    The body of the black lotus girl contorted as her Qi of True Spirit was sealed.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned towards a certain direction and found the reinforcements of the Black Cliff Palace had entered within two hundred miles.


    Retreat!


    Zhao Feng grabbed the girl with the black lotus and faded into the complex forest.


    ¡°Why did this cold person didn¡¯t kill me? Is he like other men and wants to¡­.¡±


    The girl with the black lotus was in despair. She couldn¡¯t imagine what kind of nightmare awaited her. Luckily Zhao Feng was emotionless as he grabbed her and showed no signs of lust.


    Half the time it took to make tea later.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    The Black Cliff Palace led by Chi Gui with the pierced nose arrived at the scorched ground. The atmosphere was very tense and Chi Gui said nothing as his pea eyes flashed with a white light.


    The skeleton man only had his bones remaining and the chainsaw fellow had turned into shards.


    ¡°Li Youlian¡¯s body isn¡¯t here.¡±


    One of skinny youths said.


    ¡°Looking from the marks it seems that the Wicked Teeth three were just fighting one person. If this is all done from that one person it¡¯s impossible to imagine¡­.¡±


    Chi Gui murmured.


    ¡°Senior brother Chi Gui, how is that possible!? Maybe this is done by one of the Ten True Lords, For example, the strongest Pure Moon Spiritual Sect has five True Lords and many of them act alone.¡±


    The skinny youth shook his head.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! The Wicked Teeth three can fight a True Lord Rank when they go all out. How could they die in a brat¡¯s hand?¡±


    Even the weakest of the Wicked Teeth three could defeat a measly beginning stage True Mystic Rank, and there was three of them.

 395 Dark Light Ghost Eye

    The area where the Black Cliff Palace geniuses were was filled with the air of death. At this moment in time, the other geniuses shook their head.


    ¡°Maybe not! That person affected my black demon crow and Qiao Changning had questioned them and heard that this person had taken Qiao Xiaoxue hostage and stolen their spoils. His strength and methods are out not to be underestimated.¡± Chi Gui with the pierced nosed said.


    If Zhao Feng was here, he would be surprised because the eagle-eyed youth from the Wind Snow Pavilion hadn¡¯t escaped the nightmare in the end.


    After questioning the eagle-eyed youth, the Black Cliff Palace tracked Zhao Feng from the mini hill then followed him here.


    This was why Zhao Feng met the Wicked Teeth three.


    ¡°If it was under normal situations, I wouldn¡¯t waste so much effort on this person, but he might have the secret of the Purple Saint Ruins that doesn¡¯t belong to the three sects and has no inheritance token but is able to enter here. We must catch him alive.¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s eyes flashed like a flame from hell. At this moment in time. the other figures from the Black Cliff Palace were full of respect and nodded their heads in agreement. Chi Gui was one of the True Lords from the Black Cliff palace and he was extremely strong as well as had the trust of the sect.


    Chi Gui¡¯s actions were also from the sect¡¯s perspective.


    If they were able to control the Purple Saint Ruins¡¯ hole, how much profit were they able to be the sect?


    ¡°Senior brother Chi Gui, if the culprit really is that brat, then he¡¯ll definitely be more cautious the next time.¡± A peak True Mystic Rank ghost faced man said.


    ¡°The tracker last time was Li Youlian from the Wicked Teeth group who''s probably dead now. This time, I¡¯ll do the tracking myself.¡± Chi Gui said deeply as if making a large decision.


    ¡°Hahaha, I forgot that our best tracker is actually senior brother Chi Gui, even Li Youlian and company had received pointers from him.¡±


    ¡°Putting aside the Black Cliff Palace, who else in the Purple Saint Ruins has tracking skills comparable to Senior Brother Chi Gui?¡±


    The people from the Black Cliff Palace revealed looks of joy and praised.


    ¡°Protect me!¡±


    Chi Gui sat down and was instantly surrounded by the group as they surveyed the area.


    In the Purple Saint Ruins danger was everyone and even the Black Cliff Palace didn¡¯t dare to be arrogant.


    Shua!


    A small flask appeared in Chi Gui¡¯s hand. Inside was a faint blue and azure aura that couldn¡¯t be seen with the naked eye but could be sensed with spiritual sense.


    If someone familiar with Zhao Feng was here, they would realise that this aura was Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    In reality, this was the aura the Black Cliff Palace had gathered from Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Dark Ghost Void!¡±


    Waves of transparent black rippled from Chi Gui and an invisible wave of mental energy crushed everything within a hundred yards radius. At that moment everything within ten miles became dead silent.¡±


    ¡°Black Wicked eye!¡±


    ¡°This is senior brother Chi Gui¡¯s eye bloodline and can interact with Yin and Yang and specialises in tracking.¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s eyes were pure white and a dark dot appeared in the middle.


    Peng Peng! Peng Peng!


    The geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace felt their mental energy consciousness freeze.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s aura within the small flash floated in the air then under Chi Gui¡¯s ¡®Black Wicked eye¡¯s¡¯ gaze, turned into a black smoke that faded. Immediately following that, a transparent light shot out from Chi Gui¡¯s ¡®Black Wicked eye.¡±


    Everyone looked up and saw a floating black light like a lantern float in the sky.


    Wu¡­


    The lantern seemed to sense something and flashed in a certain direction.


    ¡°Dark Light Ghost eye!¡±


    ¡°This Dark Light Ghost Eye is a secret technique of the Wicked path and without the specific eye bloodline, no one can use it.¡±


    The geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace admired.


    The Dark Light Ghost Eye in the sky pointed a certain direction for the Black Cliff Palace.


    ¡°I¡¯m using my eye bloodline to sustain the Black Wicked Eye. The Dark Light Ghost Eye can not only survey everything within a hundred miles, if the target is within five hundred miles, I can sense their direction. Furthermore, during night, its power will rise.¡± Chi Gui laughed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The seven geniuses from the Black Cliff palace led by Chi Gui went in the direction of the Dark Light Ghost Eye and flew through the air.


    Several hundred miles out, Zhao Feng and the girl with the black lotus landed on a tree.


    ¡°You won¡¯t be able to escape senior brother Chi Gui¡¯s tracking. You better give up and let me go and maybe then you¡¯ll be able to survive.¡±


    The black lotus girl pretended to be calm to hide the fear in her heart.


    Up to this moment, Zhao Feng killing the skeleton man and chainsaw man with two glances still replayed in her mind.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t both replying and started to search the girl.


    ¡°You¡­ what are you doing? Please stop!¡±


    The black lotus girls¡¯ body stiffened as she cried.


    Zhao Feng was unmoved as he soon found an ancient book from inside her clothes. During this time, he obviously had touched her skin, but his gaze was on the book which glinted with a weird light.


    ¡°You¡­ how did you know!¡±


    The girl with the black lotus was stunned. She kept this book by her side all the time and didn¡¯t even put it in her interspatial bracelet.


    ¡°Six Ghost Corpse secret technique, High tier Spiritual grade. Absorbing the air of Yin, Death, Ghost, Corpse, Poison and company to control ghost corpses and rule the world¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng hurriedly read its summary and his two eyes shone.


    He had seen the Black Cliff Palace use it and this line of skill was almost extinct in the Azure Flower Continent. Only the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion seemed to have similar methods.


    Furthermore, this skill was at the High Tier Spiritual grade, even better than the Lightning Inheritance and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng first opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and copied the contents of the Six Ghost Corpse secret technique into his hand. He then took the black lotus off the girl. The black lotus was a precious weapon of the Dao of Ghosts and even more valuable than Zhao Feng¡¯s Three Flowered Treasured Lotus. Furthermore, within it was also two green bronze ghost corpses whose strength was almost at the peak True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°Tell me how to control the ghost corpses.¡± Zhao Feng said coldly.


    He had once been a beast tamer and controlled spiritual pets and was slightly interested in controlling ghost corpses.


    In this dangerous Purple Saint Ruins, if he was able to control some ghost corpses, it would be very beneficial for Zhao Feng.


    For example, the two green bronze ghost corpses of the girl were meat shields with strong defense almost comparable to Shi Chengtian¡¯s.


    If Zhao Feng had these meat shields and combined them with his God¡¯ Spiritual Eye, it would be perfect.


    ¡°How to control the ghost corpses? Even if I told you, you wouldn¡¯t be able to do it. You haven¡¯t cultivated the skills of controlling ghosts and the wicked air of death will eat your consciousness¡­¡±


    The girl seemed to be speechless.


    ¡°Shut up! Just do what you¡¯re told or else your ending will be nastier than the other two.¡±


    Zhao Feng coldly scanned his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye over the girl and the girl¡¯s heart started to tremble. That kind of fear seemed to reach straight to the soul. She had only felt this feeling from the two True Lord Rank geniuses of the sect such as senior brother Chi Gui.


    ¡°I have a skill here which you can compare it to the third page of the Six Ghost Corpse controlling secret technique¡­.¡±


    The girl said in a trembling tone and pale face.


    After learning this skill then comparing it with his beast taming skills and some of the wicked skills in the Dark Eye incomplete page, it seemed to resonate with it.


    Over the past few years Zhao Feng had copied many techniques and skills and was considered one of the most knowledgeable under those of the Origin Core Realm.


    After a while Zhao Feng seemed to understand something.


    Controlling ghost corpses was the same as controlling beasts and spiritual pets. Its focus was on how to use mental energy and this was Zhao Feng¡¯s forte.


    ¡°What¡¯s the next step? These ghost corpses don¡¯t have any intelligence so how are we supposed to connect with it?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    These ghost corpses were dead beings.


    ¡°You¡¯ve learnt it?¡±


    The girl shook her head and smiled in disbelief.


    ¡°Shut up with the useless talk.¡±


    Zhao Feng said impatiently while the girl laughed in her heart. Yea right, keep on pretending.


    Of course, due to Zhao Feng¡¯s strength, she didn¡¯t resist and continued: ¡°You need to put your own mental energy symbol on the ghost corpse. The second page of the Six Ghost Corpse Controlling secret technique¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and started to learn.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye flashed with transparent lightning onto the two green bronze ghost corpses.


    Shu!


    The two green bronze ghost corpses smoked and changed.


    Wah!


    A streak of blood leaked from the girl¡¯s mouth as she exclaimed in shock: ¡°In an instant, my mental energy symbol was wiped¡­. How is this possible? Even a True Lord Rank expert doesn¡¯t have this ability.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had used his Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye and the lightning and fire elemental wiped out the mental energy symbol of the girl.


    Lightning and fire were the nemesis of the Wicked path and was considerably easier to wipe out mental energy symbols. Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level was comparable to the True Lord Rank and had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s advantage.


    Therefore.


    The black lotus girl had no more connection with the two green bronze ghost corpses and now Zhao Feng could put his own mental energy symbol on the two green bronze ghost corpses.

 396 Looking Down

    When the mental energy symbols on the two green bronze ghost corpses were destroyed, they howled and released an air of death as they started to move.


    Zhao Feng stood on the side and watched with interest.


    The girl with the black lotus was still in shock, but reacted and trembled with shock: ¡°No¡­.


    ¡°


    Roar! Hu~~


    After the two green bronze ghost corpses regained their freedom, they opened their mouths and leapt towards the girl.


    Their instinct told them not to get close to Zhao Feng, so they chose to attack the girl.


    These green bronze ghost corpses could sense anything with blood and would try to eat it instinctively.


    Watching the two green bronze ghost corpses close in, the girl fell into an endless nightmare.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    A light laugh sounded from behind the ghost corpses.


    Pa! Pa!


    A pair of powerful hands tapped the shoulders of the two green bronze ghost corpses and a chilling coldness was unleashed.


    The two ghost corpses froze and didn¡¯t dare move.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye flashed with a light and released an ancient aura that was unbelievably shocking towards these ghosts.


    Before, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had destroyed several early stage True Mystic Rank ghosts with just one glare.


    Back then, at the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground, the terrifying curse couldn¡¯t even come close to Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng purposely released his mental energy aura and the two green bronze ghost corpses trembled in fear.


    This scene shocked the young girl. She couldn¡¯t believe that there was such a powerful eye bloodline that countered the Wicked path ghost Dao so perfectly.


    After that, she witnessed Zhao Feng imprint his mental energy symbol onto the two green bronze ghost corpses.


    To do this, the girl needed at least half a day with her cultivation and this was under the fact that the ghost corpses didn¡¯t resist.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng had just casually scanned the two and imprinted his mental energy symbol onto them.


    Shua! Shua!


    The two green bronze ghost corpses quickly stood by Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right shoulders like personal bodyguards.


    ¡°En¡­ not bad, not bad.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head as he thought about the technique to control ghost corpses. He realised that he could control it easily without even purposely trying. It was as if this was his nature.


    On one hand, Zhao Feng had experience as a beast tamer.


    On the other hand, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was the bane of the green bronze ghost corpses and easily controlled them.


    Simply said, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was talented in this aspect and controlling ghost corpses wasn¡¯t very hard compared to the Ancient Dao of the Soul.


    ¡°How¡­ how is this possible!?¡±


    The girl with the black lotus widened her eyes and was dazed from disbelief.


    In just an instant, the two green bronze ghost corpses that had belonged to her had been ¡®stolen¡¯ by Zhao Feng.


    This guy was the nemesis of those training the Ghost Dao of the Wicked Path.


    ¡°I¡¯m taking your black lotus and ghost corpses.¡±


    Zhao Feng reached out and tapped the black lotus, which put the green bronze ghost corpses away.


    The black lotus contained a dense air of Yin within and was suitable to train ghosts.


    Apart from these green bronze ghost corpses, whose battle power came close to the True Lord Rank, the remaining ones didn¡¯t enter Zhao Feng¡¯s eye.


    Zhao Feng was considering feeding them to the two green bronze ghost corpses which should be able to increase the latter¡¯s power to the peak True Mystic Rank.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically as his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye turned towards a certain direction.


    ¡°This fast? The Black Cliff Palace is like a ghost that just won¡¯t go away.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw the Dark Light Ghost Eye floating in the sky a hundred to two hundred miles out.


    In reality, the Dark Light Ghost Eye was extremely small and just a bit bigger than a normal human¡¯s eye and was hidden in the clouds.


    However, how good was Zhao Feng¡¯s eyesight? He could even see whether a mosquito was male or female at this distance.


    The girl couldn¡¯t see the Dark Light Ghost Eye but from Zhao Feng¡¯s expression, she could tell the reinforcements of the Black Cliff Palace was arriving and revealed a smile.


    Soon, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye caught sight of the seven from the Black Cliff Palace closing in on him.


    ¡°What a high tracking skill. Using the void to sense my aura.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t immediately run and instead tried how to solve this. If he couldn¡¯t find the source of the Dark Light Ghost Eye, then Zhao Feng would be hard pressed to even run.


    After knowing the reason, Zhao Feng tried several tactics.


    First, he tried to conceal his aura, but the effect wasn¡¯t very good.


    The Dark Light Ghost Eye was a very skilled method that could sense the target within a certain radius.


    After that, Zhao Feng used the Yin Shadow Cloak and created two Yin Shadow Doppelgangers which flew in different directions.


    ¡°These doppelgangers all contain my aura.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    However, the Dark Light Ghost Eye only scanned around once before locking back onto Zhao Feng.


    If it was just the Dark Light Ghost Eye itself, it wouldn¡¯t have this ability, but it was controlled by Chi Gui¡¯s Black Wicked Eye.


    Chi Gui specialised in tracking and the auras from the Yin Shadow Doppelgangers couldn¡¯t deceive him.


    Furthermore, as night approached, the Dark Light Ghost Eyes¡¯ sensing ability strengthened.


    ¡°If I can¡¯t evade it, then I¡¯ll have to destroy it.¡±


    A cold glimmer flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, but the Dark Light Ghost Eye was around a hundred to two hundred miles away and wasn¡¯t close enough.


    The four eye skills and Luohou Bow couldn¡¯t reach this far.


    ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to try this move then.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. He didn¡¯t have full confidence over ¡®this move¡¯ and found this skill by accident.


    However, now his mental energy level was at the True Lord Rank meaning that his success and control should be higher.


    Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng entered the one with nature, and combination of mental energy, power and focus state.


    This was just the first step to provide the foundation for that skill.


    Immediately following that, Zhao Feng circulated his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to the maximum and an ancient powerful aura finally radiated from Zhao Feng.


    The girl and two green bronze ghost corpses nearby trembled.


    At the same time, Chi Gui and company were following the Dark Light Ghost Eye¡¯s direction.


    Chi Gui had maintained the Dark Light Ghost Eye with his mental energy and felt a bit tired but with the fall of night and rise of the air of Yin, the expenditure lowered.


    At a certain point in time, Chi Gui sensed something and felt as if he was being surveyed.


    There seemed to be a god in the sky that looked down at the world like ants.


    At the start, Chi Gui thought it was just an illusion, but with his Black Wicked Eyes¡¯ senses, he could tell that they were truly being surveyed.


    At the end, all of the geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace felt an invisible mental pressure and waves of mental energy suddenly appeared above the Dark Light Ghost Eye.


    ¡°That¡¯s!?¡±


    The geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace exclaimed as they gaped towards the sky.


    Chi Gui¡¯s footsteps also froze.


    In the sky above the ghost lantern, an ¡®Eye of Heaven¡¯ had appeared and was looking down at the world.


    Wu~


    The Eye of Heaven turned its gaze from onto the Dark Light Ghost Eye for a breath and released a mental energy pressure.


    Shuu~~~~~


    The Dark Light Ghost Eye trembled and disappeared.


    The entire process had only lasted one breath.


    Chi Gui, who was connected to the Dark Light Ghost Eye, hmphed and shouted: ¡°What¡­ what was that!!?¡±


    The other Black Cliff Palace geniuses were all stunned, and the atmosphere became silent.


    The scene just then was so short and shocking it seemed to be fake. However, the Dark Light Ghost Eye had indeed disappeared and almost injured Chi Gui.


    ¡°Senior brother Chi Gui, what was that eye technique that could look down on us?¡±


    ¡°Although that eye didn¡¯t display overwhelming power, its aura seemed to be supreme in this world.¡±


    The other geniuses felt lucky.


    Although the Eye of Heaven didn¡¯t display much power, the coldness and aura from it shook their hearts.


    ¡°This mysterious eye is similar to a tracking eye technique, but that aura crushed my Dark Light Ghost eye.¡±


    Chu Gui with the pierced nose took a deep breath and clenched his fists.


    His eyes flashed with white and he had to admit he was the loser in this exchange.


    Maybe the opponent wasn¡¯t as strong as him, but his bloodline power was defeated head on.


    Even someone as strong as Chi Gui felt a surge of battle intent.


    On a tree far away.


    Zhao Feng stood still, and the two green bronze ghost corpses were like protectors.


    Hu~


    He let out a long breath and his face was pale white and drenched in cold sweat.


    Just then his consciousness had jumped out of his shell and flew into the air.


    The height and power it displayed seemed to rule the heavens.


    Of course, Zhao Feng paid thirty percent of his mental energy as the price.

 397 Pure Moon Spiritual Sec

    Next to the tree.


    The girl was puzzled. In the instant just then, she felt as if Zhao Feng had lost his soul and immediately following that, his face went white.


    If it was just making his sight ascend to the skies, the expenditure of energy wouldn¡¯t be so terrifying, but Zhao Feng had also used a mental energy attack as well.


    Shua!


    He touched the black lotus and once again put away the two green bronze ghost corpses.


    Using the move just then had moved his consciousness out of his body and his body would have no feeling. It was best if he had a guard nearby.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes then turned to the girl.


    The girl screamed, and her face went white. This might be her last moment. At the same time, she cried bitterly in her heart. If it weren¡¯t for the reinforcements of the Black Cliff Palace that forced Zhao Feng into this situation, would she die?


    Of course, she didn¡¯t know that her fellows of the Black Cliff Palace were all in shock.


    ¡°Tell your fellow sect mates that if they keep on following me, I will kill all you no matter what and with every method possible.¡±


    A cold voice filled with killing intent sounded within the girl¡¯s head.


    Before she could react, an after image was left behind.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng flew into the complex forest and concealed his aura with a secret technique from the Mystic Flower Treasured Bible.


    As long as the Dark Light Ghost Eye or similar skills didn¡¯t appear, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be easily tracked.


    Furthermore, he would create a Yin Shadow Doppelganger at regular intervals and make it travel into a different direction with his aura.


    ¡°That ghost lantern should have a range. If I¡¯m far away enough from them, for example five hundred or even a thousand miles, would it be able to sense me?¡±


    Zhao Feng quickened his pace.


    Around the time it took to make tea later. The Black Cliff Palace arrived at the tree where Zhao Feng was originally hiding. The girl was sitting on the ground and recovering. When she saw Chi Gui and company come, she revealed a look of joy.


    ¡°Senior brother Chi Gui, did you capture or kill that brat?¡±


    She immediately regretted it after saying this.


    Chi Gui and company¡¯s expressions were solemn and after hearing this, their expressions became ugly.


    After that.


    The girl told the process of the Wicked Teeth group¡¯s defeat and how Zhao Feng had stolen her black lotus and ghost corpses as well as the threat he left behind.


    When the people from the Black Cliff Palace heard this, their faces became even dimmer but became warier of Zhao Feng¡¯s display of abilities.


    ¡°What kind of eye bloodline is this? Just two glances to kill two junior brothers. And that last eye even travelled a hundred to two hundred miles and destroyed my Dark Light Ghost Eye.¡±


    The more Chi Gui knew, the more shocked his was.


    The target was only an outer genius at the early stages of the True Mystic Rank who knew nothing.


    Ever since the shattering of the Desolate Continent every speck of dust became a place in the ocean like an island, named the ¡®island areas¡¯.


    Every ¡®island area¡¯ was a place and the natives there were like frogs in the bottom of the well, thinking they lived on a vast continent.


    Who knew which island area that brat came from?


    After all, the world was too large. Apparently, after the destruction of the Desolate Continent, it was still expanding.


    ¡°Senior brother Chi Gui, are we really going to listen to that brat¡¯s threats?¡±


    The skinny youth said unwillingly.


    Although the Black Cliff Palace was ranked slightly behind in the three sects, it was still two stars and its wicked name was known far and wide. When had it reached a level where an unknown youth could threaten it?


    Chi Gui fell into momentarily silence and his expressions kept on changing.


    ¡°If it¡¯s a head on fight, that kid¡¯s definitely not my match but his eye bloodline is too mysterious and powerful. Apart from me, probably most of the people here can¡¯t block one eye of his.¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s face was struggling. After being defeated in a fight of bloodlines by a youth whose cultivation was an entire rank lower, his battle intent had been ignited.


    However, he also had to consider the whole situation.


    Zhao Feng worked alone and had no worries and countless methods, whereas he had many fellows of the same sect here.


    ¡°The plan is to try and contact Senior brother Mo Yu and then our chances of capturing that brat will be much higher. Furthermore, we still need to find the Ruins Treasured Palace in the Purple Saint Palace which has no specific location.¡±


    Chi Gui made his final decision.


    They were here for rewards and in the ruins, there was things that was extinct in the outside world.


    Apart from that some people were able to meet fortunes here.


    The most famous was the Ruins Treasured Palace which was the core of the Purple Saint Ruins. Apparently, the Purple Night Sacred Lord lived the end of her life there and set an inheritance there.


    However, the chances of the Ruins Treasured Palace appearing wasn¡¯t high and only had a 1% chance.


    Xiu-----


    A dark bone arrow suddenly shot through the air and travelled towards Chi Gui and company.


    ¡°Ghost arrow message!¡±


    Chi Gui caught the dark ghost bone arrow with one hand.


    This method of communication was only limited to the Black Cliff Palace. In the outside world, they could travel several tens of thousands of miles but in the Purple Saint Ruins, it could only go a thousand miles and would double in distance during night.


    A unique letter was attached to the ghost bone arrow.


    ¡°Ye Yanyu of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect is at the North-East mountains and found some fortunes there in a mysterious canyon. Apparently, there¡¯s a lot of ancient treasures there¡­¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s eyes flashed after he read the letter.


    ¡°Ye Yanyu!¡±


    ¡°Ye Yanyu is one of the Ten True Lords and her strength is definitely ranked within the top three and is second in the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.¡±


    The people of the Black Cliff Palace mentioned this name with fear and wary.


    The Purple Saint Ruins was held by three two-star sects and amongst them the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was two and a half stars and stronger than the Black Cliff Palace.


    A total five True Lord Ranks had entered from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    The Moon Demon Palace had three True Lord Ranks enter. After all, they were also once a two-and-a-half-star sect.


    The Ten True Lords were split amongst the three sects and the ten one-star elite clans had no True Lord Ranks. At best, they were at the quasi True Lord Rank level.


    From this one could see that an extra star was a large difference. It could be reflected not only by the strength of an entire force, but their disciples as well.


    ¡°This Ye Yanyu likes to work alone. If everyone from the Black Cliff Palace gather, we can ambush her and if that won¡¯t work we can team up with the Moon Demon Palace.¡±


    Chi Gui snickered.


    In terms of one on one combat, he wasn¡¯t Ye Yanyu¡¯s match as the latter had reached the late stages of the True Lord Rank and came from a two-and-a-half-star sect. Her talent and bloodline was definitely top tier across the three sects.


    However, in the Purple Saint Ruins, not one person¡¯s strength alone could decide everything. One needed to be able to work together with others and have plans.


    Sou Sou Sou---


    Chi Gui led the people from the Black Cliff Palace towards the ¡®Three Ridge Mountains.¡¯


    An hour later.


    When Chi Gui and company arrived, there was already people from the Black Cliff Palace here waiting.


    ¡°Senior brother Chi Gui, the mysterious canyon is over there but it¡¯s very dodgy and blows a weird wind all day. Once hit by it, even normal True Mystic Ranks would lose a layer of skin if they don¡¯t die¡­.¡±


    A Black Cliff Palace disciple said.


    Indeed.


    When they got close to the mysterious canyon, they felt the continuous blow of the weird wind.


    With the naked eye, they could see a gust of wind sweep across the mysterious canyon every couple breaths.


    When the wind ended, everyone could feel the dense Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and even the aura of ancient materials.


    ¡°There¡¯s definitely rare materials in this canyon.¡±


    The Black Cliff Palace and nearby geniuses from other forces watched.


    When the wind ended, everyone managed to see a goddess in green at the depths of the canyon.


    The goddess dressed in green was elegant and as light as a leaf.


    ¡°Ye Yanyu!¡±


    Chi Gui and company¡¯s expression changed as they watched the chosen one of Heaven.


    There were dozens of geniuses here but only Ye Yanyu had managed to enter the depths of the canyon and from her smile, one could tell she had gotten some good items.


    Chi Gui opened his Black Wicked Eye and inspected Ye Yanyu when the wind ended.


    As expected, this girl held some ancient materials in her hand. Each one of them was worth a city when sold in the outside world.


    Miao miao!


    A small dark grey cat the size of palm was snuggling across Ye Yanyu¡¯s face.


    Chi Gui felt something was off.


    He had never seen this cat with Ye Yanyu before.


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s looks and strength was famed across the Tianlu islands, and who knew how many geniuses thought of her as the goddess in their dreams.


    And now this small cat was loved by Ye Yanyu. Such close contact with her was enough to make the eyes of the geniuses chasing her go red with jealousy.


    What made Chi Gui weird was that the weird small cat even looked at him with a playful gaze.


    Miao miao!


    The weird little cat threw some old coins into the air like a diviner.


    ¡°Little cat, what else did you find?¡±


    Ye Yanyu revealed a happy smile as her fingers gently stroked the fur on the little thieving cat¡¯s head.


    Ever since she had met this little cat, she met fortune wherever she went and her path was smooth and even found this mysterious canyon.


    The most important thing was that this little cat was intelligent, and she liked it.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat revealed a pleasurable expression and then pointed towards a certain direction with a ¡®Hmph.¡¯


    A while later in the direction the little thieving cat pointed, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi started to move as it welcomed another prodigy at the True Lord Rank.

 398 Canyon

    Purple Saint Ruins, in a corner next to a mountain.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure suddenly stopped as he sensed a connection on the other side of his blood pact.


    If it was in the outside world this blood pact connection would be very strong and the higher their cultivation the stronger their senses.


    However, in the Purple Saint Ruins every type of sensing was restricted and Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye couldn¡¯t even be avoided. After all, the owner of this ruins had reached the Mystic Light Realm when she was alive and was just a step away from reaching the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    The other side of the blood pact was obviously the little thieving cat.


    After entering the Purple Saint Ruins, Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei and the little thieving cat were all split up.


    At this point in time Zhao Feng could only feel a blurry direction.


    ¡°I¡¯ll first meet up with the little thieving cat.¡±


    Because of this sensing Zhao Feng decided to change his plan.


    According to the original plan he had decided to feed the other ghost products in the black lotus to increase the green bronze ghost corpses strength.


    At the same time his mental energy level had reached the True Lord Rank and with the help of the lightning bone and water heart pulse his foundation was very stable and had improved on the early stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    Due to the fact his mental energy level had reached the True Lord Rank and could summon Heaven Earth Yuan Qi his cultivation speed was several times faster now.


    Adding on the fact the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here was several times denser than the Azure Flower Continent Zhao Feng had a 50% chance to reach the late stages of the True Mystic Rank with five or six days of seclusion.


    But now Zhao Feng¡¯s plan changed.


    After entering this inheritance which happened once every ten years Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t waste any time.


    Now that he had sensed the little thieving cat Zhao Feng would have another helper.


    An hour later.


    Zhao Feng entering a large yet dangerous mountain. Types of flying birds and beasts appeared out of nowhere.


    At this point in time the connection with the little thieving cat was becoming stronger.


    ¡°It¡¯s very close now.¡±


    Zhao Feng cautiously locked onto canyon hundred to two hundred miles out.


    Around there were a couple dozens of geniuses but they didn¡¯t dare go in easily.


    The mysterious canyon was filled with a weird wind that could rip True Human Ranks into shreds and most True Mystic Ranks found it troublesome as well.


    Boom--- plop!


    A couple True Mystic Rank geniuses rolled out of the canyon, ruffled.


    Two of the late stage True Mystic Rank geniuses were injured and blood leaked from their mouths.


    In terms of strength they were on par with Overwhelming prodigies from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°This weird wind¡¯s so strong! Without the cultivation of the True Lord Rank it would be hard to protect oneself. Even if a True Lord Rank met the strongest wind they would be troubled.¡±


    Zhao Feng was secretly surprised.


    If this mysterious canyon was so dangerous but these geniuses didn¡¯t want to leave, it meant the fortune inside was quite well.


    Amongst the group.


    Zhao Feng saw Chi Gui and company from the Black Cliff Palace. Apart from them there was also another force led by a blood robed youth at the early stages of the True Lord Rank.


    The blood robed youth had a blood moon mark on his forehead and gave off a bloodthirsty aura.


    Zhao Feng thought of the blood corpse protector and Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion from this aura.


    If he was correct this blood robed youth should be from the two-star sect the ¡®Moon Demon Palace¡¯ and was more than ten times stronger than the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    When Zhao Feng arrived both the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace had tried to enter the mysterious canyon but ended in failure.


    There were also a few nearby one-star clans around who tried to enter but left corpses that weren¡¯t even in human shapes anymore.


    Of course, after paying a price the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace found some patterns.


    ¡°The weird wind here changes with a certain pattern. Even True Human Ranks can be safe in the places of the weakest wind and the strongest winds can even kill True Lord Ranks. If we form a group, then take the best route we can decrease the rate of injury and death.¡±


    ¡°As long as we pass by this place and enter the core of the canyon, there¡¯ll be many treasures there and definitely won¡¯t have this weird wind.¡±


    The two True Lords of the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace started to interact.


    Only by taking more people in would they be able to gather all the resources.


    While Chi Gui and the blood robed youth were discussing Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye also saw the change in the weird wind.


    When the weird wind blew, Zhao Feng could copy the places where the strongest and weakest parts of it went.


    After ten times of copying Zhao Feng found a pattern.


    For the next few times Zhao Feng used the pattern and predicted which areas would have what strength of wind and what changes there were.


    Once one grasped the pattern the threat of the wind dropped by at least 70%.


    Of all the geniuses present probably only Zhao Feng had this ability to find this pattern through detection.


    After all, the canyon¡¯s radius was about a hundred miles and was comparable to a normal city. If it were someone else, they would take days to scout out the area and then they still had to find the pattern¡­.


    The Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace both paid a price and found an incomplete pattern due to luck.


    Go!


    This time Chi Gui led a group of ten elites along a route into the mysterious canyon.


    The Moon Demon Palace went along another route.


    ¡°Both these groups are going near the mountain wall and although the overall strength of the wind decreases, it¡¯s not the best path.¡±


    Zhao Feng watched them with his eyes then turned into an azure streak of lightning that closed in on the mysterious canyon.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye hadn¡¯t seen the little thieving cat before meaning that it had probably entered the core of the canyon.


    Xiu!


    The air hummed with lightning and Zhao Feng passed into the mysterious canyon.


    ¡°Hmm? What clan is that person from? It seems to be just one person.¡±


    ¡°Its speed is too fast, could it be a beast?¡±


    At the entrance of the canyon was still some geniuses of ¡®smaller forces.¡¯


    Although they were ¡®smaller forces¡¯ that was only compared with the three two-star sects. Behind them were forces that were all around the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯s level.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t speed past the canyon.


    At times, he would stay at the same spot for a while, while at other times he would retreat.


    But without a doubt, he would face the weakest wind every time and it would be blocked easily with his Three Flowered Treasured Lotus.


    Putting aside Zhao Feng, even Shi Chengtian¡¯s defense would be ripped into shreds by the stronger winds.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng¡¯s progressing speed was much slower than the Black Cliff Palace¡¯s and Moon Demon Palaces.


    However, this was also Zhao Feng¡¯s intention.


    The Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace weren¡¯t alone and the strength of the two True Lords far exceeded him.


    Finally.


    Through two hours of dodging Zhao Feng entered the depths of the canyon by walking past the areas of weakest wind.


    The weird thing was that once he passed the stone area the weird wind disappeared.


    The depths of the canyon was filled with a dense Heaven Earth Yuan Qi that was ten times better than the other areas of the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Zhao Feng felt an ancient aura sweep by and as if he had entered the forests of ancient times.


    There was weird flowers and forests here that was extinct in the outside world.


    A tree had reached a hundred yards and its branches extended for miles, about the size of a village.


    Every flower and wood here was heavily influenced by the dense Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and almost exceeded the limits of normal plants.


    Simply said, every piece of wood or dirt here could be sold for hundreds or thousands of primal crystal stones.


    This place was literally filled with cold.


    ¡°If I cultivate here the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi is about a hundred times stronger than the Azure Flower Continent. It¡¯s hard to imagine how many treasures are here.¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned.


    At this time the sound of battle and roar of beasts came from within the depths of the forests.


    It was obvious that the other parties had met something in the mysterious canyon.


    Zhao Feng quickly turned around a leapt onto a high rock to survey the area with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned across every rock, every piece of wood including the flowers and underground.


    Just by the first scan alone Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    The number of treasures here was unimaginable.


    Just by looking once Zhao Feng found dozens of weird treasures with the first look alone and their values was enough to make the eyes of the True Lord Rank go red.


    Even the rock Zhao Feng was next to contained something valuable.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng shattered the rock and revealed a slightly wet plant.


    On the plant was a few small black fruits around the size of a thumb and its skin had a weird line.


    With his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye Zhao Feng found that the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi contained within these fruits was enormous and exceeded anything he had seen in the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°What is this black small fruit?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a pure surge of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi when he picked off these fruits. The awkward thing was that even with his knowledge he didn¡¯t know what it was.


    ¡°This is the Sky Dark Pearl Fruit King which is slightly biased towards the ice element and contains a pure and large amount of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. It can instantly recover a True Spirit Realm¡¯s Qi of True Spirit and at the critical moment increase one¡¯s battle power back to its peak. Apart from that this fruit can cleanse the body and is very effective for those under the True Lord Rank. With your current state one fruit alone can give you more than 50% chance of rising a small level.¡±


    The casual but enticing voice of a female sounded from the mountain wall behind.

 399 Betrayal!

    ¡°.... This fruit can cleanse the body and is very effective for those under the True Lord Rank. With your current state, one fruit alone can give you more than 50% chance of rising a small level.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure froze, and cold sweat started to appear on his back.


    Although the voice of the female behind was extremely nice to hear and solved the answer to his question, he hadn¡¯t sensed the female and she was within a few dozen yards of him.


    Of course, this might be because she had no killing intent or could control herself well.


    At the same time, a very familiar aura appeared nearby.


    Zhao Feng turned around and looked at the girl in green as if nothing was wrong.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on the girl dressed in green¡¯s shoulder and looked gloatingly at Zhao Feng.


    Little thieving cat!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped as he had many thoughts.


    The inside of the mysterious canyon wasn¡¯t small, and the terrain was complex. It was obvious he was the girl¡¯s target by coming from behind.


    The solution was known to all.


    If she didn¡¯t have the little thieving cat¡¯s help, how would it be so easy?


    The green dressed goddess inspected Zhao Feng: ¡°You¡¯re the little cat¡¯s owner? You don¡¯t belong to any of the three forces but is able to enter the Purple Saint Ruins. Interesting.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. This girl¡¯s cultivation had reached the late stages of the True Lord Rank and was even stronger than Chi Gui. She was probably outside of his limit.


    Zhao Feng could guess her identity. When he had entered the canyon the name ¡®Ye Yanyu¡± had been spoken with respect or love.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, why did you betray me? When did I mistreat you?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with Ye Yanyu and said coldly to the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws towards Zhao Feng in dissatisfaction before lying lazily next to the beauty.


    Ye Yanyu smiled: ¡°This cat is extremely intelligent and has an ancient bloodline. You forced it to sign a blood pact with you when it was just born and weak. How would it be loyal to you?¡±


    Zhao Feng paused and thought about how Li Fuluan in the Floating Crest Palace had indeed helped him sign a blood pact with the little thieving cat.


    At this moment the little thieving cat had brought a powerful enemy to its owner. No matter how you looked at it, one could see it¡¯s heart of betrayal.


    ¡°So what? The little thieving cat¡¯s my spiritual pet. Since you know that it¡¯s signed a blood pact with me, do you want to take it by force?¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly.


    Blood pact was extremely strong and could control its life or death.


    And at this point if the owner Zhao Feng died, the little thieving cat would also be injured.


    Unless¡­. Zhao Feng willingly dissolved the blood pact.


    Ye Yanyu couldn¡¯t not know this, but seeing that she still came over with the little thieving cat, she must have her plans.


    ¡°As long as you say how you came into the Purple Saint Ruins and willingly dissolve your blood pact with the little thieving cat, I won¡¯t trouble you and will instead recommend you into the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect. With your talent and cultivation, you will become at least an inner disciple and maybe even have the chance to become a core disciple.¡±


    Ye Yanyu smiled and said.


    Her voice was soft to the eye and ¡®using power to force him¡¯ had turned into helping Zhao Feng.


    Of course.


    For most geniuses and Zhao Feng, entering the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was a leap.


    A two-and-a-half-star force was more than ten times stronger than the Ten Great Clans of the Azure Flower Continent.


    Some of the subordinate clans of even the Pure Moon Spiritual Clan even had the strength of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    ¡°One, entering the Purple Saint Ruins was an accident that even I don¡¯t know the reasons, so I can¡¯t tell you.¡±


    ¡°Two, the little thieving cat is my spiritual pet. I won¡¯t give it to anyone.¡±


    Zhao Feng said decisively.


    This was especially so for the second as once the pact between him and the little thieving cat was broken Ye Yanyu would have no more worries with dealing with Zhao Feng.


    Currently.


    Ye Yanyu really liked the little thieving cat and was even of wary attacking Zhao Feng.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat made some actions to Ye Yanyu.


    ¡°Oh? You want to break the blood pact even with the risk of death? Relax, I¡¯ll make him do it.¡±


    Ye Yanyu touched the little thieving cat¡¯s head and reassured.


    She couldn¡¯t help for sorry for it. How cruel was Zhao Feng for the little thieving cat to risk death to break the blood pact?


    Xiu---


    Zhao Feng turned into a flash of lightning and left behind an afterimage.


    In the next instant he charged into the forests and disappeared.


    Run!


    Zhao Feng knew that Ye Yanyu¡¯s cultivation had reached the late stages of the True Lord Rank and was much stronger than the Flooding Lake City Lord, probably on the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion¡¯s level. He had no chance in a head on clash.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure started to fade in the trees and he created a Yin Shadow Doppelganger that went in the opposite direction to lure the opponent.


    However.


    Just as Zhao Feng had ran one or two miles a goddess seemed to appear out of nowhere in front of him and smile.


    ¡°So, this is the strength of the late stage True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart fell.


    He gritted his teeth and sent a flower of ice and lightning towards where Ye Yanyue was at.


    Huang!


    The nearby forests were destroyed and scorched.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression froze before the dust even settled.


    Ye Yanyu still stood on a tree and a liquid barrier enveloped her.


    Not only was she completely unharmed, even all the trees and leaves were all there.


    ¡°That move just then was comparable to the overwhelming prodigy level¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Ye Yanyu seemed to be very satisfied with Zhao Feng¡¯s expression.


    Shua!


    Ye Yanyu left an after image behind on the tree.


    Not good!


    Zhao Feng was about to move but with a ¡®pa¡¯ a slender hand clasped his shoulder.


    A wave of Qi of True Spirit as great as the ocean instantly sealed the Qi of True Spirit within his body.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat threw out the Mystic Snake Blood Whip and captured Zhao Feng with a smug smile.


    ¡°How¡¯s my suggestion from before?¡±


    Ye Yanyu smiled faintly.


    ¡°There¡¯s no way at all.¡±


    Zhao Feng said decisively: ¡°If you use force I¡¯ll bring the little thieving cat down to my grave as well.¡±


    No matter what Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat had a blood pact and once this was signed the spiritual pet¡¯s life and death was in its owner¡¯s hands.


    ¡°You can ask for whatever you want as long it¡¯s not too excessive. Of course, I won¡¯t let you go before you break the blood pact.¡±


    Ye Yanyu felt her head hurt.


    She had already displayed her strength and the opponent couldn¡¯t fight back at all.


    However, Zhao Feng had the killing card of the blood pact and at worst he could suicide.


    ¡°What I want?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his heart move, the negotiations was looking good and seeing Zhao Feng moved, Ye Yanyu let out a breath.


    Everything in this world had a price, including spiritual pets. As long as Zhao Feng set a price, Ye Yanyu would believe.


    ¡°Firstly, you need to provide my safety and not restrict my freedom such as sealing my Qi of True Spirit or binding my limbs.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, what I get in the ruins belong to me. If I need your help you will help me.¡±


    Thirdly, after we leave the ruins you need to make me a disciple of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.¡±


    Zhao Feng asked his requirements.


    Ye Yanyu immediately agreed to the first. In her eyes Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to escape her fingers.


    ¡°I won¡¯t restrict your freedom, but you can¡¯t leave within three miles of me.¡±


    Ye Yanyu said.


    She had also agreed to the second but only said she would help Zhao Feng three times.


    As for the rewards if Zhao Feng got them by himself she wouldn¡¯t interfere. For example, the Sky Dark Pearl Fruit King would be Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    The third was also what she wanted.


    Zhao Feng had entered the Purple Saint Ruins very weirdly and the elders of the Sect needed to investigate.


    Furthermore, once Zhao Feng was in the Elders¡¯ hands, maybe the blood pact could also be solved easily. At that time Ye Yanyu would have the advantage.


    ¡°Lastly, I¡¯ll only break the blood pact if you do all the tasks and the little thieving cat is willing.¡±


    Zhao Feng said his requirements and Ye Yanyu had agreed but made slightly adjustments.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, let go of your previous owner.¡±


    Ye Yanyue smiled and purposely emphasised the word ¡®previous¡¯.


    Zhao Feng was expressionless as Ye Yanyu released the seal on his Qi of True Spirit and Zhao Feng immediately left after regaining his freedom.


    ¡°Although your speed isn¡¯t bad, you have no chance against me.¡±


    Ye Yanyu warned.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother replying and went back to the mountain and sat down.


    However, he then took out the Sky Dark Pearl Fruit King.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    Ye Yanyu paused.


    ¡°I¡¯m going into seclusion.¡±


    Zhao Feng ate the Sky Dark Pearl Fruit King and closed his eyes to cultivate.


    ¡°Seclusion?¡±


    ¡°As you said before I have a 50% chance of reaching the late stages of the True Mystic Rank by eating this Sky Dark Pearl Fruit King and you¡­. Will protect me.¡±

 400 Breakthrough

    According to the promise Ye Yanyu would help Zhao Feng three times and without any hesitation, Zhao Feng used one of the times to increase his strength.


    Although this mysterious canyon was full of danger and there were many geniuses around, who would dare come close with a late stage True Lord Rank here?


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll guard you.¡±


    Ye Yanyu was angry but found this funny at the same time and a mocked smile appeared on her face.


    To her it didn¡¯t matter whether Zhao Feng was at the early stages or late stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    As long as she tried Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t fight back.


    The difference between was too big; they weren¡¯t on the same level.


    Therefore, if Zhao Feng reached the late stage True Mystic Rank or even the peak stages of the True Mystic Rank Ye Yanyu wouldn¡¯t mind. Unless Zhao Feng could break through to the True Lord Rank, that would only bring her a little trouble.


    Zhao Feng knew what Ye Yanyu was thinking hence asked her to help protect him while he broke through.


    He closed his eyes as the energy from the Sky Dark Pearl Fruit King was released and a pure surge of energy circulated around his body.


    According to Ye Yanyu Zhao Feng had a 50% chance to break through after eating the Sky Dark Pearl Fruit King and this was Zhao Feng¡¯s conclusion as well.


    In reality, the difference between the early and late stages of the True Mystic Rank was quite big and normal experts in the Azure Continent would take ten years in that environment.


    However, this was the Purple Saint Ruins and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the Purple Saint Ruins was more than ten times purer than the Azure Flower Continent.


    Furthermore, this canyon was extremely ancient, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here was ten times more than the other areas of the Purple Saint Ruins.


    This meant that Zhao Feng was in a cultivating environment a hundred times faster than the Azure Flower Continent.


    This was just the first point.


    Secondly, the water heart pulse Zhao Feng had eaten before had increased his foundation and cultivation.


    Thirdly, Zhao Feng had the mental energy of a True Lord Rank and this was the key point.


    Once one¡¯s mental energy level reached the True Lord Rank they could summon Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and this allowed Zhao Feng to rise in cultivation rapidly.


    ¡°Only by having the mental energy level of a True Lord Rank would I be able to fully absorb the Sky Dark Pearl Fruit King or else it¡¯ll just leak away.¡±


    Zhao Feng became warier of Ye Yanyu when he thought of this.


    Adding on these factors Zhao Feng only had a 50% chance and this meant that Ye Yanyu had seen Zhao Feng had the mental energy of a True Lord Rank.


    ¡°But she shouldn¡¯t be able to see my God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s aura and the sealed Source of True Spirit within my body that I can burn any time.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Ye Yanyu came from a two-star sect and her cultivation, strength and knowledge were all high.


    Although she had seen Zhao Feng had an eye bloodline she wouldn¡¯t put it to heart. Chi Gui from the Black Cliff Palace also had an eye bloodline, but didn¡¯t he go around in circles when he saw her?


    Four hours later.


    Zhao Feng had almost fully absorbed the energy from the Sky Dark Pearl Fruit King and this credit came from his True Lord Rank mental energy. If it were someone else, they wouldn¡¯t have any chance of hope.


    After that Zhao Feng started to use the ¡®core¡¯ of the Sky Dark Pearl Fruit King¡¯s power.


    As time passed Zhao Feng¡¯s aura rose and Ye Yanyu stayed true to her word, only going around in a three miles radius to gather some resources.


    There was the occasional genius that came nearby but immediately retreated when they sensed Ye Yanyu¡¯s aura.


    The nearby beasts were also chased away by here hence giving Zhao Feng a safe and quiet environment.


    At a certain moment in time.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s aura had reached its limit.


    With a ¡®Weng¡¯ he felt the Qi of True Spirit within his body flow smoother.


    At the same time his body was filled with a powerful energy. Just his body alone almost had the strength of a True Mystic Rank.


    After all, the Sky Dark Pearl Fruit King¡¯s core had the use to cleanse the body and supported the water heart pulse.


    ¡°My body and cultivation had both risen.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    He opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and saw Ye Yanyu and the little thieving cat were gathering some rare minerals.


    ¡°En, there¡¯s still some time.¡±


    Zhao Feng also put some time into the black lotus.


    The black lotus was space where it could store ghosts and contained the air of death.


    Amongst these the two green bronze ghost corpses were the strongest and their battle power came close to the peak True Mystic Rank.


    Apart from that there was a bit more than a dozen other corpses, skeletons, etc that ranged from the True Human Rank to late stages of the True Mystic Rank.


    Zhao Feng released the aura from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and these ghosts trembled on the ground as Zhao Feng put his mental energy symbol onto them.


    After doing this he then ¡®fed¡¯ them to the two green bronze ghost corpses.


    The girl before definitely wouldn¡¯t be willing to do this as the range of ghost corpses could handle a range of situations.


    However, Zhao Feng needed two meat shields or bodyguards and therefore didn¡¯t need to worry that much.


    Zhao Feng specialised in mental energy and didn¡¯t need the Yin spectres at all.


    The remaining ghost corpses within the black lotus was soon eaten and the two green bronze ghost corpses absorbed the air of death, Yin, corpse etc.


    ¡°I just need a day and a half for these two green bronze ghost corpses to reach the peak True Mystic Rank battle power.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He didn¡¯t need to do anything now.


    Perfectly at this moment.


    Ye Yanyu and the little thieving cat arrived outside where Zhao Feng was in seclusion.


    ¡°I¡¯ve wasted a lot of time guarding you.¡±


    Ye Yanyu glanced coldly towards Zhao Feng and the latter rose and followed behind Ye Yanyu.


    Ye Yanyu lead the way at the front towards the depths of the canyon and didn¡¯t worry Zhao Feng running away.


    This mysterious canyon had many items from the ancient times and some were extinct in the outside world.


    While Zhao Feng was walking, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye would find some rare plants or treasures and he would take them.


    At the beginning Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t pay attention to it but after multiple times she realised that Zhao Feng found more treasures than her, a late stage True Lord Rank and understood why Zhao Feng said he would take all the things he found.


    ¡°Looks like his eye bloodline doesn¡¯t specialise in battle but in support and inspection.¡±


    Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t put it to heart.


    Being a chosen one of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, she had seen many geniuses with eye bloodline and amongst them many had been defeated by her.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly threw its old coins in the air then pointed in a certain direction.


    Zhao Feng glared at it. Every time the little thieving cat lead the way there wouldn¡¯t be a good outcome. Thinking about how he had entered the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground last time, Zhao Feng was still scared.

 401 Ancient Giant Scorpion

    Even if the little thieving cat had ¡®changed owners¡¯ it still had its divination characteristic.


    Ye Yanyu believed it without a doubt.


    Ever since she had met it, her luck had been good. Even this canyon was directed by the little thieving cat. In her heart the little thieving cat was now her ¡®lucky cat.¡¯


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly followed the two.


    According to the little thieving cat¡¯s path a plain appeared from in front and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here was more active. Any grass nearby was one or two humans tall.


    Roar!


    Peng Peng Bam!


    From the plains came the roars of beasts and heavy footsteps.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had already caught sight of some powerful large beasts and if he were here alone he definitely would retreat.


    One had to know some beasts outside in the Purple Saint Ruins could be compared to the True Lord Rank, and this was the mysterious canyon.


    However, the Ye Yanyu this powerful True Lord opening the path, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to worry.


    As they entered a hundred yards into the plains a massive horde of several yard-tall metal bull with spikes on its back appeared. Their bodies were tough, and their footsteps made the ground tremble.


    ¡°Iron Back Raging Bull, a beast with faint ancient bloodlines. Strong but easy to anger and can usually crush several beasts of the same level to death. When it gets angry, its bloodline will be activated, and its battle power doubled.¡±


    Zhao Feng recognised this beast. Iron Back Raging Bulls were extinct in the Azure Flower Continent and were only heard of in ancient records and impure bloodlines.


    This weakest of this horde of Iron Back Raging Bulls was at the True Human Rank and many were at the True Mystic Rank.


    The strongest one¡¯s battle power came close to the True Lord Rank and was this horde¡¯s ¡®King.¡¯


    Zhao Feng and company entering their territory instantly caused them to attack.


    The Iron Back Raging Bulls had a fiery attitude and ancient bloodline. Even if a True Lord Rank came they would have the courage to fight.


    Boom-----


    Hundreds of Iron Back Raging Bulls caused the earth to shake as they charged over to Zhao Feng and company.


    Ye Yanyu smiled and waved her hand as a line of cold intent flashed.


    From the surface it seemed Ye Yanyu¡¯s attack was soft and calm, as if there wasn¡¯t much power.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s pupils constricted as shock appeared in his face.


    Back then at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng¡¯s fight seemed simple but their control had reached the limit. Each and every action contained intent which allowed them to kill others of the same level like ants.


    This situation had also appeared on Ye Yanyu, but was much more perfect.


    Bam Bam Bam-----


    Where the line of silver passed, the bodies of the Iron Back Raging Bulls suddenly froze.


    In the next instant.


    Dozens of Iron Back Raging Bulls spurted out fountains of blood as they fell dead and dyed the ground red.


    Others might not be able to see anything, but Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could clearly see the faint silver line pass straight through the bulls¡¯ skin and their organs.


    This meant that every bull had been pierced through with countless holes.


    No matter how strong their defense was their organs were still stabbed by countless dots and left them with no life.


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s casual move instantly killed dozens of bulls and Zhao Feng definitely wouldn¡¯t have this ability as the defense of these bulls were strong and he could one with one palm or glance each but to kill dozens at once was something even the True Lord Rank¡¯s would find hard. Ye Yanyu killing this large amount of Iron Back Raging Bulls angered and scared the remaining horde.


    The eyes of these bulls with red with fury as a dark red light started to appear on their bodies and their battle powers rose.


    ¡°The battle power of these bulls has doubled.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a large pressure and his blood stiffened.


    After being enraged, these bulls were definitely able to attack those at the True Lord Rank.


    The Iron Back Raging Bull King was ten yards wide and six to seven yards tall. With a roar it summoned a gust of chaotic wind and its battle power was comparable to the True Lord Rank.


    If it was Zhao Feng he definitely would hide as far as possible.


    Ye Yanyu smiled and floated onto the Iron Back Raging Bull King¡¯s back.


    Wu~


    A ripple of moonlight surrounded Ye Yanyu¡¯s body, making her seem like a goddess as she forced the Iron Back Raging Bull down.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat excitedly waved its Mystic Snake Blood Whip and absorbed the blood essence of the Iron Back Raging Bull King.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    The strength that the Iron Back Raging Bull King displayed when it was angry was the early stage True Lord Rank and Ye Yanyu could kill it easily.


    However, the little thieving cat¡¯s Mystic Snake Blood Whip could increase in strength after absorbing blood essence and it had now already exceeded normal Mid-Tier Spiritual grade weapons, just slightly below Zhao Feng¡¯s Luohou Bow.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng touched the black lotus and summoned the two green bronze ghost corpses to feed on the flesh of the Iron Back Raging Bull.


    At this point in time the two green bronze ghost corpses were comparable to the peak True Mystic Rank and eating flesh containing a faint ancient bloodline was beneficial for them.


    Ye Yanyu just glanced at it but didn¡¯t say anything.


    These Iron Back Raging Bulls or Zhao Feng¡¯s green bronze ghost corpses were just ants in her eyes that could be destroyed with one finger.


    A while later.


    The Iron Back Raging Bull lost all its blood essence and died, leaving behind hundreds of corpses.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat arrogantly puffed its chest out after the satisfying meal and caused Ye Yanyu to giggle.


    Zhao Feng remained expressionless and would take a couple treasures on the way.


    Ye Yanyu was at the front killing the stronger beasts and Zhao Feng just followed behind reaping the rewards.


    These bodies were worth an entire city in the Azure Flower Continent and Zhao Feng¡¯s hands got sore from picking up things and blamed that his interspatial ring wasn¡¯t big enough.


    Ye Yanyu seemed to be very casual and would only pick the precious materials. She was obviously rich and had resources dozens of times better than the Ten Great Clans.


    Up to now.


    From the place ahead came some soul shaking howls and the entire mountains and clouds was filled with a fearsome aura.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s blood twitched, and his Qi of True Spirit was suppressed as his bloodline sensed something.


    ¡°The aura of an ancient bloodline more than ten times purer than the Iron Back Raging Bull.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    This was the first time he had felt such a powerful bloodline aura after entering the Purple Saint Ruins.


    In the depths of the plains in front of a large cave was more than a dozen figures that were battling with a large black scorpion.


    Ding Ding---


    The large black scorpion had a faint metallic glow and the attacks only made sparks.


    Some of the attacks from the peak True Mystic Ranks weren¡¯t even able to leave an obvious mark on it.


    The over a dozen figures present were maintaining a distance with it and were very cautious.


    There were already four to five corpses on the ground from the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace.


    ¡°Everybody watch out, the poison from this scorpion will kill everyone under the Origin Core Realm and anyone that gets hit by it will die so maintain your distance.¡±


    The nose pierced ¡®Chi Gui¡¯ ordered the geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace to fight with the scorpion.


    Apart from Chi Gui there was also the blood robed youth from the Moon Demon Palace and even the two combined weren¡¯t able to suppress the ancient scorpion.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact the geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace had a large number of corpses, skeletons and other things that were resilient towards poison, probably no one could fight with the scorpion in close combat.


    Shua Shua!


    Right at this moment.


    Ye Yanyu and Zhao Feng arrived, and they saw this situation.


    ¡°This ancient giant scorpion¡¯s bloodline is very high and even the two True Lord Ranks and this many geniuses can¡¯t handle it.¡±


    Zhao Feng was cautious.


    Even normal True Lord Ranks didn¡¯t dare face the scorpion head on. If Zhao Feng was to go up extra lives wouldn¡¯t do a thing.


    Chi Gui controlled a silver lined True Lord Rank skeleton and four to five others near the True Lord Rank that held back the ancient giant scorpion.


    Because they were already dead, they weren¡¯t scared of the scorpion poison.


    Ye Yanyu revealed a solemn look: ¡°This scorpion¡¯s bloodline is very rare and better than the geniuses in the Purple Saint Ruins. Furthermore, it had some worries and hasn¡¯t used all its power.¡±


    Hearing this Zhao Feng agreed.


    The bloodline of this scorpion was extremely powerful and even Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline was pressured.


    This was because its bloodline was extremely pure and wasn¡¯t something an Iron Black Raging Bull with faint bloodlines could be compared to.


    ¡°If the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace combined will find it hard to take it down, why are they fighting it?¡±


    Zhao Feng was puzzled.


    What benefits did this have for the two sects?


    He then inspected the situation and soon understood.


    Behind the scorpion was a large cave of which an aura came from.


    The True Lords of the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace had tried to distract the scorpion away but ended in failure.


    This ancient large scorpion had guarded the entrance and wouldn¡¯t move.


    ¡°This bastard¡¯s not falling for it.¡±


    Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord¡¯s luring had ended in failure.


    Because it needed to guard the entrance the ancient large scorpion couldn¡¯t use all its power or else the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palaces¡¯ casualties wouldn¡¯t be this little.


    Ye Yanyu obviously saw this as well and her charming eyes turned towards the cave behind the scorpion.


    ¡°There¡¯s definitely something important in the cave that needs the scorpion¡¯s protection. It might be a treasure that even makes a highly intelligent ancient giant scorpion guard it even to its death.¡±

 402 The Little Thieving Cat’s Plan

    Ye Yanyu and Zhao Feng both watched and didn¡¯t interfere.


    Zhao Feng knew he wasn¡¯t enough to turn the tide and Ye Yanyu just wanted to watch both sides get injured and watched with a smile.


    The two forces fighting the ancient large scorpion weren¡¯t retards and looked towards Ye Yanyu with wary.


    ¡°There¡¯s a change in the plan, Ye Yanyu is here.¡±


    The nose pierced Chi Gui suddenly waved his hand and let the Black Cliff Palace side rest.


    Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord from the Moon Demon Palace exchanged glances and then both sides retreated.


    Since they couldn¡¯t take the scorpion down in a short amount of time and the latter would only protect the cave, they didn¡¯t need to finish it off right away.


    When Chi Gui saw Zhao Feng, his white eyes constricted.


    Although he hadn¡¯t personally see Zhao Feng, he was very familiar with his aura.


    If it weren¡¯t for Ye Yanyu, the people from the Black Cliff Palace would probably have killed Zhao Feng.


    ¡°As long as I¡¯m with Ye Yanyu no one in the Purple Saint Ruins will probably attack me.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew this very clearly.


    In terms of cultivation Ye Yanyu had reached the late stages of the True Lord Rank and surpassed the Chi Gui and the other True Lord.


    Furthermore, Ye Yanyu came from the most powerful Pure Moon Spiritual Sect and was ranked within the top three in the Ten True Lords.


    Only if Chi Gui and the blood robed youth teamed up would they be able to fight Ye Yanyu.


    Invisibly.


    Ye Yanyu had become one of the greatest protectors of Zhao Feng.


    If he was alone it would be hard for him to survive in the Purple Saint Ruins and would be ten times more difficult to fight for inheritances.


    Shua Shua!


    Chi Gui and the blood robed youth faced off Ye Yanyu and the three started to talk.


    ¡°Ye Yanyu you came just in time, team up with us and kill this scorpion or help distract it.¡±


    Chi Gui suggested.


    The blood robed youth nodded his head.


    The two of them weren¡¯t the ancient large scorpion¡¯s match and even if they could kill it, who knew how many would die.


    Now that Ye Yanyu had arrived, it was better for her to help instead of just watching both side lose casualties.


    Firstly, they could reduce their losses and have a greater chance of beating the scorpion.


    Secondly, Ye Yanyu was alone and the amount of rewards she would get would be less than theirs after they entered the cave.


    Therefore.


    Chi Gui and the other True Lord¡¯s suggestion was smart.


    Ye Yanyu stood still and didn¡¯t say anything.


    Seeing this the blood robed youth quickly added: ¡°Goddess Ye, Brother Chi¡¯s ghosts just went inside and there¡¯s heaps of treasures there. The reason the ancient large scorpion is blocking the cave is because there¡¯s a couple pure young blooded ¡®ancient scorpions.¡¯ I believe Goddess Ye can also think of this.¡±


    ¡°Oh, pure blooded young ancient scorpions?¡±


    Ye Yanyu revealed a look of interest.


    Everyone had seen how strong the ancient large scorpion was and didn¡¯t even need to fear four or five True Lord Ranks at once.


    The bloodline of the scorpion was extremely powerful, and its poison could even kill True Lord Ranks.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact the ghost corpses of the Black Cliff Palace perfectly countered this poison, then even if another two True Lord Ranks came it wouldn¡¯t change a thing.


    Ancient beasts with rare bloodline were extremely precious in the outside world and worth more than normal mature beasts.


    Young beasts were easier to take in as spiritual pets and their loyalty would be very high.


    If they gave it to the sect it could become a protector spiritual beast of the sect when it grew strong.


    Personally, it could grow with its owner and become a great helper.


    ¡°This scorpion is perfect for offense and defense, it¡¯s poison is also critical¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng found that this ancient giant scorpion¡¯s abilities were almost perfect, and he couldn¡¯t help but compare it with the little thieving cat.


    In terms of battle power and damage the little thieving cat was far behind and could only be a diviner.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions fell into Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes and a smile appeared on her face.


    ¡°The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within the cave is extremely unique and to be guarded by an ancient scorpion as well as you trying so hard means that there shouldn¡¯t just be the young scorpions inside, right?¡±


    Zhao Feng interrupted coldly.


    Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lords both paused and looked towards the blue haired youth.


    Zhao Feng had always stood behind Ye Yanyu and they didn¡¯t know his situation, but if he dared to interrupt and Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t say anything, maybe he now belonged to the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s side.


    ¡°With this brat¡¯s bloodline strength, he might be heavily used for Ye Yanyu.¡±


    Chi Gui and company became warier of Zhao Feng.


    The Black Cliff Palace had met Zhao Feng¡¯s methods before, but they would never guess Zhao Feng and Ye Yanyu¡¯s relationship right now.


    Ye Yanyu too lazy to say anything missed the chance for her to truly understand Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Cough cough, it¡¯s like this. There are indeed a couple treasures in there such as the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom, Blood Glass Fruit, Life Returning Grass etc.¡±


    The blood robed youth said and Ye Yanyu was even moved.


    Anything what he had said just then was enough to make the eyes of True Lord Rank¡¯s go red and be eyed upon by those at the Origin Core Realm.


    Earth Yin Poison Mushroom: Must be grown in a place of extreme Yin and for ten thousand years plus. This mushroom is a perfect material for ghost corpses and at the same time is one of the resources to create deadly poisons.


    Blood Glass Fruit: An extinct treasure that can greatly increase cultivation and had double effect on cultivators of the Dao of Blood and is created from the gathering of the essence of blood Yin.


    When Zhao Feng heard these two items his heart started to thump.


    Even Ye Yanyu¡¯s expression changed.


    ¡°This Blood Glass Fruit is definitely a Sovereign tier treasure in the Azure Flower Continent. If the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch isn¡¯t dead and instead severely injured, just one or two will help him recover. If I can get one I can reach the True Lord Rank even if I¡¯m not a cultivator of the Dao of Blood.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart sped up.


    This Blood Glass Fruit gave Zhao Feng the chance to turn things around.


    If a Blood Glass Fruit was given to a late stage True Mystic Rank or peak stage True Mystic Rank, it¡¯s energy might be wasted.


    However, Zhao Feng had the mental energy level of a True Lord Rank and could absorb most of its energy. If he ate one and went in seclusion for ten days or half a month breaking through the True Lord Rank was certain.


    Putting aside the True Spirit Realm, the Blood Glass Fruit was even beneficial for those at the Origin Core Realm.


    Unfortunately, this treasure was now extinct on the Azure Flower Continent.


    The other Earth Yin Poison Mushrooms and Life Returning Grass were also on the same tier at the Blood Grass Fruit.


    ¡°Hm, Life Returning Grass¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something


    Life Returning Grass: A treasure created by the Heaven and Earth. As long as you have one wisp of life it can heal your injuries. The Elixir of Life from it can also heal injuries and extend life.¡±


    Suddenly a voice appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind: ¡°If you really want to repay me, reach the top twenty in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and if you¡¯re able to get some Elixir of Life, Life Restoring Pills or similar life items, I¡¯ll be extremely grateful.¡±¡±


    Back at the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion the thick eyebrowed elder that Tiemo had recommended Zhao Feng to had said this.


    Because of that elder Zhao Feng was able to step into the Dao of the Soul and increase his eye capabilities.


    The Elixir of Life that the mysterious elder mentioned could be made from the Life Returning Grass and the Life Returning Grass was more precious than the Elixir of Life.


    At this moment in time Zhao Feng and Ye Yanyu finally understood why the ancient scorpion blocked the cave.


    It wasn¡¯t just protecting its child, it was also guarding treasures.


    ¡°We¡¯ll kill this scorpion together then split the rewards inside depending on our ability.¡±


    Chi Gui and company didn¡¯t hide anything.


    If there wasn¡¯t enough benefits Ye Yanyu wouldn¡¯t be used by them.


    Zhao Feng could already imagine that the Blood Glass Fruit and other treasures weren¡¯t just the only ones inside.


    Thinking up to here his heart was filled with excitement.


    Soon.


    The three True Lord Rank¡¯s teamed up and attacked ancient scorpion.


    The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, Moon Demon Palace, Black Cliff Palace teamed up for once.


    Hu~ Shua Shua!


    This time Chi Gui summoned two True Lord Rank ghost corpses and there was a blood silver ghost corpse instead of the silver striped skeleton than before.


    These two were two to three yards tall and had a dim aura. They weren¡¯t scared of the giant scorpion¡¯s poison and went to block it.


    ¡°This Chi Gui has two True Lord Rank ghost corpses.¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised and envious.


    They played a key role in whether they could slay the scorpion.


    A brutal blood moon blade with a chaotic aura appeared in the blood robed True Lord from the Moon Demon Palaces¡¯ hand.


    Weng~


    He slashed the blade and the air became filled with a blood moon that kept on eroding the scorpion.


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s strength was even stronger than Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord. She waved her hand and a line of silver rippled and formed a transparent water silver sword.


    When she attacked even the ancient scorpion¡¯s eyes were filled with wary.


    Chi Gui and the blood robed youth were also wary as they looked at each other.


    ¡°This Ye Yanyu has trained the Moon Flower Spiritual Sword Technique to such a high level. One sword from her can probably slash my True Lord Rank skeleton into two.¡±


    Chi Gui was stunned.


    ¡°No one¡¯s probably her match under the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    The blood robed youth took a deep breath.


    Of the three sides the Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace had each used over a dozen people whereas only Ye Yanyu had attacked from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, but it was enough to shock the other two sides.¡±


    ¡°Looks like her battle power is very likely at the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion¡¯s level.¡±


    Zhao Feng raised his opinion of Ye Yanyu.


    At the same point in time.


    The eyes of the little thieving cat in the corner flashed with cunningness as it exchanged glances with Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng looked deeply at it. Thieving cat, oh thieving cat. Although your plan is smart but it¡¯s extremely dangerous. That Ye Yanyu and the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect behind her wasn¡¯t just terrifying.

 403 Feeding the Corpses

    The Purple Saint Ruins was controlled by the three sects and other forces couldn¡¯t obtain it.


    The geniuses that entered here all belonged to their respective parties and had their own inheritance tokens.


    An ¡®outer genius¡¯ not belonging to any of the three had entered this Ruins and would have to compete against an enormous group of other geniuses by himself.


    However.


    With the little thieving cat¡¯s ¡®betrayal¡¯, these problems were solved.


    Although Zhao Feng had been captured by Ye Yanyu, his identity of being an ¡®outsider¡¯ had been solved.


    At least he wasn¡¯t trying to be captured by everyone now and Zhao Feng seemed to have entered the strongest ¡®Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s¡¯ side, and the enemies were helpless.


    What he needed to do now was to use his identity as the ¡®fourth person¡¯ to watch the three sects battle and reap the rewards at the critical moment.


    This was the general direction of the plan and intelligence and courage was the important point.


    This plan was started by the little thieving cat.


    It had purposely attracted Ye Yanyu to Zhao Feng and although this seemed dangerous, in reality it actually protected Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat knew what was in each other¡¯s heart and acted out this show.


    Of course.


    There was an extremely high risk in this plan.


    Once they were found out Zhao Feng would enter a desperate state never before; at least he had no chance of resistance against Ye Yanyu.


    ¡°The greater the rewards, the greater the danger.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled then returned to his emotionless state.


    Every step was critical; a misstep could result in absolute failure.


    However, Zhao Feng was calmer during this moment even though his blood seemed to boil with excitement and adrenaline.


    At this instance.


    The combination of the three True Lords and elites of the True Mystic Rank fought a fierce battle against the ancient giant scorpion.


    The ancient giant scorpion¡¯s defense was extremely powerful and even True Lord Ranks found it hard to break through it.


    Its poison would also kill those at the True Lord Rank. Luckily Chi Gui from the Black Cliff Palace had two True Lord Rank ghost corpses that could do close combat.


    The blood robed True Lord Rank waved his blade of the blood moon and the large blood coloured moon started to erode the ancient scorpions¡¯ injuries.


    As long as there was a little cut, the blood robed True Lord¡¯s attacks would enter and even erode the insides of the body.


    If it were a normal True Lord Rank, Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord Rank together would be able to finish off in an instant.


    However, this ancient giant scorpion¡¯s body and life force was extremely strong, and the two True Lord Rank ghost corpses could only do a tiny amount of damage.


    The attack of the blood robed True Lord also couldn¡¯t break through the scorpion¡¯s defense directly and could only slowly erode it.


    The main worker was Ye Yanyu.


    Her Moon Flower Spiritual Sword Technique controlled the transparent water silver sword and every attack would represent the tens of thousands of beams of a sword.


    Every time Ye Yanyu attacked, she would be able to leave a gash of blood on the scorpion.


    If it were another True Lord Rank Ye Yanyu¡¯s profound sword technique would be able to kill them in a move or two whereas the scorpion was only injured by seven to eight swords.


    ¡°This ancient scorpion is indeed worthy of being a rare beast with a pure bloodline. Even a half step Origin Core Realm expert wouldn¡¯t be able to beat it head on.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but admire as he watched from afar.


    This meant that the younglings inside the cave would be extremely hot-handed.


    In theory, the battle power of these three True Lord Rank¡¯s combined with the group of elite True Mystic Ranks would be comparable to seven or eight True Lord Ranks.


    Ye Yanyu alone was on par with three to four normal True Lord Ranks and Chi Gui was comparable to at least two since he had two True Lord Rank ghost corpses.


    This setup was still only able to suppress the ancient scorpion and not finish it off.


    ¡°The ancient scorpion¡¯s only guarding the cave but if it wasn¡¯t to run then the difficulty would rise by several times.¡±


    Zhao Feng saw the situation very clearly as an outside.


    Of course.


    He couldn¡¯t just watch; he needed to help as well.


    Beng~ Sou- Sou--


    A couple eye catching arrows of ice and lightning clashed heavily onto the giant scorpion¡¯s shell and brought a gust of cold wind and lightning with it.


    The power contained within these arrows of ice and lightning was close to the normal True Lord Rank.


    Furthermore, every time these arrows of ice and lightning hit the target they would explode and although they wouldn¡¯t physically harm the scorpion, it could slow them down.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Many geniuses turned towards Zhao Feng with some surprise.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s long-range attack was strong and could slow down the giant scorpion, very effective for the team.


    The giant scorpion¡¯s decrease in speed lowered its threat greatly.


    Although those from the Black Cliff Palace hated Zhao Feng, they had to admit this guy¡¯s help was just below the three True Lord Rank¡¯s.


    Only a small number of attacks excluding those from the three True Lord Rank could be on par with Zhao Feng¡¯s and their efficiency wasn¡¯t very high as they needed to watch out for the scorpion¡¯s counter attack whereas Zhao Feng didn¡¯t since he attacked from a long range.


    The numbing and decreasing speed effect was something the other geniuses couldn¡¯t do.


    Even Ye Yanyu nodded her head. From Zhao Feng¡¯s current display, he could at least become an Inner disciple in the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    The only thing was that his history was unknown.


    As time passed by.


    The giant scorpion¡¯s injuries deepened, and the blood robed True Lord Rank¡¯s eroding attack entered its organs.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s arrows of ice and lightning furthered its decrease in speed.


    Ye Yanyu was very smart and first tried to cut off the scorpion¡¯s tail and its limbs to unbalance it.


    At the end the scorpion couldn¡¯t withstand the intelligence and teamwork of the group and its attacks became weaker.


    Most importantly, its tail and legs had been chopped off, so it couldn¡¯t run even if it wanted to.


    ¡°It can¡¯t fight back for much longer.¡±


    ¡°We finish it within one hour.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s battle intent rose, and their attacks became stronger.


    Boom!


    Finally, the giant scorpion the size of a small mountain fell onto the ground.


    Before it died it counter attacked fiercely and ripped two Moon Demon Palace geniuses that were a couple yards away into pieces.


    Another genius from the Black Cliff Palace was poisoned by it and died within a couple breaths.


    Everyone felt lucky. The last counter attack from the scorpion could even instantly kill True Lord Rank¡¯s.


    The silver striped skeleton of Chi Gui¡¯s had been cut into half but luckily it was a dead item and so could be recovered with enough materials.


    Zhao Feng had already flashed out of sight the second the giant scorpion arrived and hid between a crack in the mountains.


    When the giant scorpion died Zhao Feng instantly charged towards the corpse.


    Ye Yanyu glanced towards Zhao Feng with thought. The last counter attack from the scorpion seemed to be in Zhao Feng¡¯s direction.


    While they fought Zhao Feng¡¯s ice and lightning arrows obviously infuriated the scorpion but unfortunately, he was too far away.


    Next.


    The three sides started to discuss how to split the rewards of the ancient scorpion.


    Ye Yanyu wasn¡¯t very interested in the scorpion¡¯s body apart from the most precious inner core and claws. Her key focus was the younglings and the treasures in the cave.


    However.


    Zhao Feng had already taken out a sharp knife and cut through the broken skin to take out a black sack the size of a fist.


    This was the ancient scorpion¡¯s poison sack.


    ¡°En, I only want this.¡±


    Zhao Feng put the poison sack away.


    The reason why he put so much effort in before was because of this.


    Ye Yanyu was a pure righteous goddess and definitely wouldn¡¯t be interested in this dirty poison sack.


    ¡°This is the poison sack of the ancient scorpion and its value is only below the scorpion¡¯s inner core.¡±


    Those from the Black Cliff Palace were instantly unsatisfied.


    In reality, the poison sack was very useful for those of the Black Cliff Palace.


    They trained the Dao of Corpses and Ghosts. When poisonous items were added onto them, it was like adding wings to a tiger.


    Without a doubt the poison sack of the ancient giant scorpion was perfect, but Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was too fast.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had already locked onto the poison sack¡¯s position and instantly took it.


    The Black Cliff Palace could do nothing.


    Zhao Feng and Ye Yanyu had played a major role in killing the scorpion and everyone had seen how Zhao Feng was able to reduce the casualties.


    Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t say anything as she wasn¡¯t interested in the poison sack.


    Furthermore, according to the deal before whatever Zhao Feng got was his. He had put in a lot of effort and taking the poison sack was understandable.


    After all, Zhao Feng was now half on the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s side and it was better if the poison sack was in his hands than in the Black Cliff Palace¡¯s.


    Seeing Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t react the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace couldn¡¯t delve further.


    The body of the giant scorpion was as big as a small mountain and apart from several precious parts, the flesh was also valuable, only that it was enormous and not easy to take away.


    Shua Shua!


    Zhao Feng touched the black lotus and summoned two green bronze ghost corpses to eat the flesh of the pure bloodline scorpion.


    ¡°Shameless bastard!¡±


    ¡°These two green bronze ghost corpses were originally ours but was taken by this brat and he dares to use it so openly?¡±


    The expressions of those from the Black Cliff Palace weren¡¯t very well and they looked at Zhao Feng with gritted teeth and burning eyes.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t moved and did everything possible to increase his strength.


    After taking the poison sack Zhao Feng¡¯s plan became clearer.


    ¡°After eating the flesh of the scorpion, these two ghost corpses are now completely on par with peak True Mystic Rank¡¯s and this poison sack is specifically prepared for the two.¡±


    Zhao Feng squinted his eyes as he inspected the two ghost corpses.


    The bodies of these two ghost corpses were strong and a faint jade blood streak had appeared on their skin. With every bite their auras became stronger and stronger.


    Compared with this, the ghost corpses of the same rank of other Black Cliff Palace disciples were much ¡®skinnier¡¯ and not as well treated as Zhao Feng¡¯s.

 404 Professional Finder

    The other geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace were different from Zhao Feng who had fed all the other ghost corpses to these two green bronze ghost corpses.


    On the way Ye Yanyu had slain many rare beasts with bloodlines which were great food for the two ghost corpses.


    The ancient giant scorpion had a very pure bloodline which made the auras of the two ghost corpses stronger and their bodies underwent an unknown change.


    Apart from Chi Gui¡¯s two True Lord Rank ghost corpses, the other ghost corpses of the Black Cliff Palace probably weren¡¯t able to be compared to Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    ¡°The battle of these two green bronze ghost corpses is extremely strong and after adding the poison sack, even True Lord Ranks might die if poisoned.¡±


    Zhao Feng put his consciousness into the Six Ghost Corpse Controlling secret technique.


    This skill had the requirements on how to add poison to the ghost corpses.


    Zhao Feng had some knowledge on medicine and the poison corpse was a type of ingredient. It wasn¡¯t too hard to add it onto the green bronze ghost corpse.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do so immediately.


    Although the poison was extremely deadly, its poison has lost some power after leaving the ancient scorpion.


    That was the first point.


    The second point was that although this poison even critically threatened those at the True Lord Rank, it was only if the skin had been cut open and the poison could enter the body.


    It was almost impossible for the green bronze ghost corpse to directly break through a True Lord Ranks defense, especially if they were on guard.


    Therefore Zhao Feng didn¡¯t immediately add it on.


    Taking the poison sack was just the first step, there was many other factors that needed to be held onto.


    The Black Cliff Palace side.


    ¡°Senior brother Chi Gui, if that kid put¡¯s the poison onto the corpse, the threat will be much greater.¡±


    The girl who originally owned the black lotus bit her lips and looked at Zhao Feng controlling the two green bronze ghost corpses with hate, fear and envy.


    She never thought such a day would come when she handed the ghost corpses over.


    With these two ghost corpses, no one under the True Lord Rank would be able to get close to Zhao Feng.


    If Zhao Feng had this at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, he could easily destroy Tantai Lanyue¡¯s spiritual pets.


    ¡°He¡¯s just a newbie that¡¯s just entered the Dao of Ghost Corpses and their true power won¡¯t be fully unleashed. Although the poison sack is precious, its poison will lose a lot of power after leaving the body and is worth far less than the Yin Poison Mushroom and Blood Glass Fruit in the cave. The Yin Poison Mushroom is a top tier item for ghost corpses.¡±


    Chi Gui said confidently.


    In his heart Zhao Feng was unparalleled amongst those under the True Lord Rank and only those at the True Lord Rank could take care of him.


    Compared with the poison sack he was more wary of Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline.


    Shua Shua!


    Zhao Feng touched the black lotus and took back the green bronze ghost corpses.


    As of right now the two ghost corpses had reached a limit and faced a strong bottleneck.


    Furthermore, as the two had risen in strength very quickly they needed to have a solid foundation and when ghost corpses reached a certain level they would have intelligence.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s two green bronze ghost corpses already have a bit of intelligence and with the rise in strength, they also needed a rise in intelligence.


    What Zhao Feng did was use his Eye of Ice Soul to send a small flow of coldness to help consolidate the impartial soul in the green bronze ghost corpse.


    In front of the cave.


    The three parties tidied up a bit and decided to scourge the spoils of war within the cave.


    ¡°Everything that we get now depends on our ability.¡±


    The figure of the blood robed True Lord flashed as he disappeared into the cave.


    The ancient scorpion had been taken care of and there probably wasn¡¯t much danger in the cave. The three sides were going to split the spoils.


    Compared with the other Zhao Feng and Ye Yanyu had a lesser advantage as they had less people and the number of treasures they would get would definitely be less than the other two sides.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±


    Ye Yanyu took the little thieving cat and turned into a streak of light that charged towards the cave.


    Her cultivation was the highest and her speed was also top tier and faster than the blood robed youth and Chi Gui.


    On the way Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t even give a single glance towards the normal treasures.


    Surprise flashed in Chi Gui and company¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°No wonder. Ye Yanyu works alone and therefore aims for quality and not quantity. If she can get all the top resources here, their value will surpass all the others combined.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood.


    Ye Yanyu had her own plans right from the beginning.


    She was alone and adding on Zhao Feng, that was only two and definitely couldn¡¯t be compared with the other two sides.


    Therefore.


    Ye Yanyu had given up on most of the normal treasures, only picking the best.


    Both Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord would find it hard to do this but Ye Yanyu has this strength. The two combined might not even be her match.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat stood on Ye Yanyu¡¯s shoulder and occasionally waved the Mystic Snake Blood Whip to snatch some of the treasures nearby.


    Both the eyes of Ye Yanyu and the little thieving cat were sharp.


    The teamwork of the two and their speed in snatching treasures stunned and made Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord panic.


    ¡°We can¡¯t let her get her way.¡±


    ¡°You guys go salvage the other treasures, we¡¯ll stop her.¡±


    Chi Gui and the blood robed youth ordered the others to take the other resources.


    Sou Sou!


    The two True Lord Ranks flew towards Ye Yanyu to compete for the other peak resources.


    The situation now became clear.


    The three True Lord Ranks had their eyes set on the best resources whereas the rest aimed at the mid-good treasures or good ones that had been missed.


    After all, the three True Lord Ranks were competing against one another and would miss some good treasures from time to time.


    Amongst them Zhao Feng was a professional ¡®gatherer of missed items.¡¯


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes inspecting capabilities allowed him to see through walls and things that even the three True Lord Ranks missed.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng suddenly threw out an arc of lightning and blasted the mud off a wall and took out a black transparent stone.


    ¡°Sky Marking Stone.¡±


    ¡°This stone can strengthen the body and bones and even corpses when crushed into powder.¡±


    The eyes of the nearby Black Cliff Palace disciples lit up as they rushed over but Zhao Feng was too fast and over half had been taken by him.


    Shua Shua Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Yin Shadow Cloak flapped and his figure turned into several figures that were hard to be distinguished by those under the True Lord Rank.


    Although he was taking the missed items, he had to maintain a certain distance between the three True Lord Ranks, not too fast nor too close.


    If he was too close he could be hit by the remaining wave of energy from their battle.


    If he was too far away Zhao Feng might miss some chances which would stop his plan.


    Another while later.


    Shuu!


    Zhao Feng suddenly sliced open a wall and ripped two dark green gourds away.


    ¡°Green Spiritual Gourd, a mysterious item that can keep plants fresh and store eroding medicine¡­¡±


    ¡°So this is the Green Spiritual Gourd. I heard that a King at the Void God Realm once put his soul inside this as he was about to die and rebirthed and stole a body after a hundred years.¡±


    The geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace stared at Zhao Feng with greed and jealousy.


    Those from the Black Cliff Palace were wary and slightly hesitant as they had seen Zhao Feng¡¯s terrifying eye bloodline before.


    ¡°Kid, hand over the Green Spiritual Gourd.¡±


    Two geniuses from the Moon Demon Palace that didn¡¯t care about the Pure Moon Spiritual Clan leapt towards Zhao Feng.


    Although this Green Spiritual Gourd had no shocking power and couldn¡¯t increase one¡¯s strength it was a rare item and the legends of it gave it a high value.


    Maybe even Sovereigns at the Origin Core Realm or Kings at the Void God Realm would be interested in it and collect one or two.


    Eye of Heart!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye faintly scanned across the two from the Moon Demon Palace and their figures instantly froze.


    In the next instant.


    Ding Ding Peng Peng-----


    The two attacked one another, their eyes filled with limitless greed.


    ¡°Hmph, when you¡¯re filled with greed, that¡¯s when there¡¯s a flaw in your emotions.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly in his heart.


    When there was a flaw in one¡¯s heart Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heart could even affect those at the True Lord Rank.


    Zhao Feng picked up the two Green Spiritual Gourd¡¯s and followed behind the three True Lord Ranks so that he wasn¡¯t too far away.


    The depth and space within this cave was bigger than imagined.


    There was the occasional scorpion, snake, spiders or bugs that leapt out from time to time and geniuses would lose a layer of skin if not die if they met them.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was calm and kept on maintaining a distance with the three True Lord Ranks while also picking up precious resources on the way.


    ¡°Hmm? Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye found some drops of dew near some bamboo shoots and moonlight seemed to shine on it through tiny holes in the walls.


    In this large cave with battle sounding everywhere, it was extremely hard to notice these couple drops of dew.


    ¡°The Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew exists in humid areas with both the purification of the sun and moon. The rarer Sky Yin Bamboo shoots take ten thousand years plus to form.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t but feel lucky he had copied the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations from the Broken Moon Clan. He would also memorise information about rare treasures and beasts wherever he went.


    Therefore Zhao Feng had a ¡®description¡¯ of the items which could determine which item they were when scanned by the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°The Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew can not only balance the Yin and Yang within a body and increase cultivation. It can also increase mental energy and help those with high comprehension understand the laws of Heaven and Earth.¡±


    The nearby geniuses noticed Zhao Feng¡¯s actions and were surprised.


    ¡°What kind of luck does this brat have? He¡¯s found rare treasures wherever he goes.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s probably not luck but something to do with his eye bloodline.¡±


    The eyes of those from the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace were red with jealousy and almost tried to rob Zhao Feng.


    There was also one or two here with eye bloodlines but their inspection powers were nothing compared with Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    ¡°Great, with this Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew my plan¡¯s success will be much higher. When my mental energy gets cleansed and increases in power it will be able to threaten those at the True Lord Rank.¡±

 405 Scorpion Younglings

    The value of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew was far more precious than the others before.


    It could cleanse one¡¯s soul and the ability to increase mental energy and allowing one to comprehend were all rare items.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng quickly put a couple drops of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew into the Green Spiritual Gourd.


    The Green Spiritual Gourd was a unique interspatial item that had the ability to store fresh items and the loss of energy from them would be kept down to a minimum.


    For example, the poison sack that Zhao Feng got before would lose its poison after it left the scorpion¡¯s body but if it were put in the Green Spiritual Gourd, the loss would be reduced to a minimum.


    ¡°The value of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew is just below the Blood Glass Fruit, Yin Poison Mushroom and other top treasures.¡±


    ¡°Thief, don¡¯t try to keep it all to yourself.¡±


    The geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace charged over.


    Although the Green Spiritual Gourd and Sky Marking Stone Zhao Feng had found before were also top quality, their value and usefulness was nowhere close to the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew.


    ¡°If I can get a drop or two of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew and cleanse my soul the chances of me reaching the True Lord Rank will increase by 20-30%.¡±


    A couple peak True Mystic Rank geniuses used their secret techniques and hidden cards to attack Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t panic as looked at a couple remaining drops of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew above him.


    Shua!


    His figure flashed and retreated dozens of yards and summoned the two green bronze ghost corpses in front of him.


    ¡°This dew isn¡¯t very effective if taken continuously. A couple drops is enough for me.¡±


    Zhao Feng smartly retreated and didn¡¯t take the remaining drops of dew.


    Although he was strong he didn¡¯t want to become the enemy of more than a dozen geniuses.


    There was already six to seven peak True Mystic Ranks here and most of the remaining ones were at the late stages of the True Mystic Rank, each with the strength of an overwhelming prodigy on the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°I only want one drop of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew.¡±


    ¡°Anyone that blocks me shall die.¡±


    A total of seven or eight geniuses furiously fought over the drops of Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew.


    Zhao Feng ordered the two green bronze ghost corpses to go in front of him and try to make the other geniuses trying to approach him retreat.


    Apart from the three True Lord Ranks Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was one of the top here and just the two peak True Mystic Rank ghost corpses alone were able to stop most of the others.


    Of the remaining two drops of Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew, both the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace got one each.


    The fighting soon ended and the largest winner was obviously Zhao Feng.


    In reality if Zhao Feng wanted to take all of the dew no one could stop him but if he did that then his strength would be found out by Ye Yanyu.


    He had given up a couple drops of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew to conserve his strength and prepare for the future.


    However.


    Even though Zhao Feng had purposely went low-key the people from the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace payed attention to him.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s eye bloodline is great for sensing treasures. Keep an eye on him.¡±


    The two sides had decided on what to do.


    Several people even watched all of Zhao Feng¡¯s action and an accidental glance of his to a certain direction caused them to dig a hole three foot into the ground.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but think that the others had really thought of him as a money god.


    Unfortunately for the rest of the journey there was almost no treasures the same class as the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew.


    Maybe it was because the three True Lord Ranks in front had realised that they had missed many top treasures and therefore slowed down a bit. The Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew was also valuable for them.


    As for the not-so-good treasures Zhao Feng was too lazy to get them and became low key.


    Those that were watching him were disappointed. Some gave up while others were unwilling.


    Of course.


    The best treasures went to the three True Lord Ranks, especially the little thieving cat and Ye Yanyu.


    The combined rewards of Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord weren¡¯t even as much as Ye Yanyu¡¯s.


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s cultivation, strength and speed stood at a peak and with the little thieving cat¡¯s help, was perfect.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, you are indeed my lucky cat.¡±


    Ye Yanyu liked the little thieving cat even more. The only problem left was that the blood pact between it and Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t been dissolved yet.


    On the other hand Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord gritted their teeth in hatred towards the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat would wave the Mystic Snake Blood Whip around and skilfully take the treasures.


    Sometimes the treasures they were about to get would get taken by the little thieving cat¡¯s whip first.


    This cat was extremely cunning and had to be guarded against at all times.


    Ye Yanyu smugly glanced towards Zhao Feng who was behind, as if saying the little thieving cat is best suited with me.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was dim and didn¡¯t say anything.


    At a certain point in time.


    The footsteps of the three True Lord Ranks paused.


    Ahead was a black hole around a hundred yards wide and from it came sizzles of heat.


    In the hole was dozens of scorpion younglings, around the size of a cat or dog.


    Scorpion younglings!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw all of it and the hearts of the three True Lord Ranks jumped with joy.


    There was a few dozen in the hole, many more than expected.


    ¡°Wait, although there¡¯s a large number of scorpion younglings, only a few have pure bloodlines like the ancient giant scorpion.¡±


    Zhao Feng concluded after scanning them with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Bloodline was about luck. It didn¡¯t mean that all the children would have a powerful bloodline or else from the ancient era to now, bloodlines wouldn¡¯t be this rare.


    Across the Thirteen Countries there was only a couple dozen with bloodlines including Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei and company.


    Furthermore, there was only one true ancient scorpion and it has been killed by the group.


    Therefore, it could only interact with other scorpions and the probability of their children having a pure bloodline was lowered.


    Zhao Feng found that of the scorpions in the hole, only six or seven were about the same as the ancient scorpion.


    The words ¡®about the same¡¯ meant their physical looks. This meant that their chances of having the bloodline was bigger, but not certain.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­. A whole bunch of scorpion younglings!¡±


    The geniuses behind were all extremely excited when they same this amount.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go everyone. Although not all of these may have pure bloodlines, they would still have some bloodline in them and are much stronger than normal spiritual pets.¡±


    Chi Gui ordered.


    The three True Lord Ranks went first and their targets obviously were the younglings with the physical appearance similar to the old one.


    Zhao Feng remained calm and didn¡¯t enter the battle.


    In terms of bloodline purity the ones that the three True Lord Ranks were going for definitely had the highest chance of having a pure bloodline. However, no one else had the ability to fight against them and Zhao Feng remained low-key and wouldn¡¯t fight against them.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye also glanced across hole and nearby cracks.


    Zhao Feng could see whether a scorpion had a bloodline or not.


    He was slightly disappointed after looking around.


    The further away from the hole they were, the colour of the scorpions were less pure and putting aside the three True Lord Ranks, even the other geniuses didn¡¯t want them.


    They had all seen the true colour of the scorpion and it was pitch black with a metallic feel to it.


    However, Zhao Feng would rather take his time and inspect all these scorpions whether their appearance was impure or not.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye locked onto a corner.


    It was a very small scorpion around the size of a baby¡¯s palm and hid in a crack in the wall, revealing a cold red eye full of hate as it watched outside.


    From the outside it seemed as like an impure coloured scorpion and it was also tiny.


    However Zhao Feng found something unusual when he looked at it.


    Firstly, this scorpion seemed to be intelligent. Although it seemed to be the youngest it knew how to hide and was even pulling itself further in.


    Secondly, the walls hardness could be comparable to a peak tier Mortal grade weapon but it had been clawed open by the impure coloured scorpion.


    Finally.


    Zhao Feng saw that the bloodline within this scorpion was similar to the ancient scorpions but also different.


    ¡°Could it be a variation of the giant scorpion?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved.


    There was occasions of bloodlines leaving its original trajectory and become different, such as Changeable Bodies who Zhao Yufei and Sun Haoyuan had.


    ¡°Oh well, it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll take it first.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and tried to control the scorpion.


    In this process Zhao Feng met a strong and resilient defense which made him overjoyed. Apart from bloodlines, mental energy was also an important factor in whether how far this scorpion could reach.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng was still able to easily control this scorpion as his mental energy level was far higher than the young scorpion¡­.


    Sou!


    The dotted scorpion flashed through the air and landed on Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    Through close inspection Zhao Feng realised that the dots on the surface of the scorpion had disappeared and instead was replaced by a cold black metallic light with a few dark red dots, which looked more mysterious and wicked than the ancient giant scorpion.


    ¡°What kind of variation is this for it to be able disguise itself?¡±


    Zhao Feng silently put this weird young scorpion into his spiritual pet bag.


    Right at this moment.


    The battle between the three True Lord Ranks had ended and Ye Yanyu had a joyful expression as she had taken two of the most pure blooded young scorpions.

 406 Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye

    In just a moment the young scorpions within the hole were split.


    The three True Lord Ranks received the scorpions with purer bloodlines that weren¡¯t much different from the ancient giant scorpion.


    Amongst them Ye Yanyue got two of the purest scorpions of which any one of them were worth more than the other two True Lords.


    This wasn¡¯t just because of her strength. It was also because of the little thieving cat¡¯s help.


    Unknowingly Ye Yanyue trusted and loved the little thieving cat more and the expressions of the blood robed youth and Chi Gui were slightly ugly. From the start till now they had been suppressed by Ye Yanyue and with the little thieving cat Ye Yanyue was like a fish in the water.


    After the pure blooded young scorpions were split the groups gaze turned towards the nearby impure scorpions.


    All of these scorpions would have the bloodline as well and although much fainter, they were still better than normal beasts.


    Therefore, everyone was still happy to take them.


    However, there was one person in the group that didn¡¯t move much from the start till now.


    It was Zhao Feng.


    He seemed to be watching a show and the process of him taking the young scorpion was done through his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, silent and quick.


    Who would have thought that without moving he would have received a variant young scorpion?


    Zhao Feng concluded that the bloodline of the variant young scorpion he got was on the two of Ye Yanyue¡¯s level but was smarter and had a tougher mental will. Because it was a variant, it¡¯s potential was immeasurable.


    ¡°Eh, why isn¡¯t this kid moving?¡±


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t he the one that always had that bloody luck?¡±


    The geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace looked suspiciously towards Zhao Feng and to divert attention Zhao Feng took out the Sky Marking Stone then grinded it into powder and then cast it onto the two green bronze corpses.


    Ssssss!


    The Sky Marking Stone powder started to sink into the corpses skin and was absorbed by their bones.


    ¡°This guy sure is free, even using the Sky Marking Stone to strengthen the bones of a corpse.¡±


    ¡°What a waste! He¡¯s just throwing it on and not making into a solution.¡±


    The geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s actions with envy and jealousy.


    Zhao Feng remained unmoved and poured all of the powder evenly over the two then used a faint True Spirit Lightning Flame to help the ghost corpses absorb and strengthen their bodies.


    Under normal situations Lightning Fire was the nemesis of ghosts but Zhao Feng found that a faint True Spirit Lightning Flame could instead help increase the speed of absorbing the Sky Marking Stone.


    ¡°The Sky Marking Stone can strengthen the body, but its energy is very chaotic and can easily leave behind hidden injuries. However, using this to strengthen corpses and dead items is very useful.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    Chi Gui revealed a surprised look when he saw Zhao Feng use a faint True Spirit Lightning Flame to refine the ghost corpses.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s hand actions seemed clumsy and unfamiliar, it could quickly absorb the rate of the Sky Marking Stone.


    The two slightly puffy green bronze ghost corpses started to shrink under the True Spirit Lightning Flame and became bulky, but not puffy.


    ¡°Although the tiers of the two ghost corpses hasn¡¯t risen, their body and defense has increased and can ignore almost any attack from those under the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Chi Gui was secretly surprised.


    After doing this Zhao Feng then used his eye ice bloodline.


    Shuuuu!


    The surface of the two green bronze corpses started to freeze and then were put back into the black lotus by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Using the Lightning Fire to refine and then the ice to stabilize the corpses¡­¡­¡±


    Chi Gui was surprised more and more.


    He would rather believe that this was all a coincident. How could a youth that had just entered the Dao of Corpses already know the refining techniques?


    How would he know that Zhao Feng had already learnt 40-50% of the Six Ghost Corpse Controlling secret technique?


    Most importantly, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye seemed to be very talented in the Dao of Ghost Corpses and was used very smoothly.


    ¡°After being frozen for a couple hours by my ice eye bloodline, the body of these two green bronze ghost corpses will strengthen their tiers will rise a little bit.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness came back from his black lotus.


    Currently his two corpses were almost unparalleled under the True Lord Rank. Zhao Feng even guessed that maybe these two combined could block a True Lord Rank for a short amount of time.


    Soon.


    The three True Lord Ranks continued their way and Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t pay much attention to Zhao Feng refining his ghost corpses as she didn¡¯t like ghost corpses in the first place.


    At this moment she was swimming in the joy of the rewards that the little thieving cat brought her.


    All of this fell into Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes and he nodded his head: The first half of the plan was going very smoothly.


    It could be said that the plan was even better than expected.


    For example, getting the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew and Sky Marking Stone on the way.


    Zhao Feng silently followed behind the three True Lord Ranks.


    Suddenly.


    A faint glow appeared on the wall ahead and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi became more active.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. With such a good environment it was hard not for precious materials to grow.


    As expected.


    The figures of the three True Lord Ranks at the head stopped and happiness appeared on their faces.


    ¡°There is indeed one Blood Glass Fruit. If I eat it my Blood Demon Reflecting Moon and cultivation will increase by leaps and bounds. At that time my strength will reach the top three amongst all those present in the Ruins.¡±


    The body of the blood robed True Lord trembled lightly.


    The Blood Glass Fruit was a very effective resource for cultivators of the Dao of Blood.


    Even if it fell into the hands of other experts, it was still a treasure.


    For example, Zhao Feng who had the mental energy level of a True Lord Rank. If he got the Blood Glass Fruit, he would be able to reach the True Lord Rank with half a month of seclusion.


    At this point in time.


    The cave had come to an end.


    The wall ahead glowed and every inch seemed to contain incredible power and value.


    On the wall grew a dozen ancient treasures, each and every one worth more than the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew that Zhao Feng found before.


    For example, there was around four to five treasures on the Blood Glass Fruit¡¯s level.


    The Blood Glass Fruit was around the size of a first and was bright fresh red in colour. It was juicy and gave off a dense Yuan Qi.


    Zhao Feng stood at the back and scanned over the items hurriedly with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and soon found the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom and Life Returning Grass.


    The Earth Yin Poison Mushroom was a dim and rotten mushroom whereas the Life Returning Grass was green and gave off a lively aura that made others nearby feel close to it.


    ¡°Earth Yin Poison Mushroom¡­ this is a perfect material for ghost corpses. If I can get this the strength of my two True Lord Rank ghost corpses will rise dramatically.¡±


    Chi Gui suppressed the excitement in his heart.


    Of the three only Ye Yanyu had furrowed eyebrows.


    In this dim environment, most of the treasures were Yin based and not much of value to her.


    ¡°That Life Returning Grass can save a life if I took it back to the Sect and the Blood Glass Fruit can also help increase my cultivation.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes twinkled and she started to discuss with the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat made some actions.


    ¡°Good idea. I should destroy some of the items of the Wicked Path if they¡¯re of no use to me. This means that they won¡¯t get their way as well.¡±


    Ye Yanyu nodded her head and smiled.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s plan was very deadly. Of the over a dozen treasures here not even one third was useful to Ye Yanyu.


    She obviously couldn¡¯t give the remains to the other two sides and destroying was much easier than getting.


    ¡°Go! We can¡¯t let this bitch Ye Yanyu destroy our chance.¡±


    The blood robed youth and Chi Gui exchanged glances and both attacked Ye Yanyu when she made her move.


    ¡°Everyone go!¡±


    The other elites of the peak True Mystic Rank also started to support Chi Gui and the blood robed youth.


    In this critical moment both sides teamed up to face Ye Yanyu.


    The frustration of the two True Lords of the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace due to them being suppressed by Ye Yanyu all the way was finally released.


    After all, the treasures on the wall was top tier and could help dramatically increase their strength. The two True Lords were willing to fight Ye Yanyu for it.


    ¡°Aye, why not just sit down and have a good talk?¡±


    Zhao Feng pretended to sigh and retreated to a corner, signalling he didn¡¯t want to participate.


    His strength was only below the three True Lords and seeing him retreat no one came to attack him.


    In reality.


    Zhao Feng loved this situation.


    Chi Gui and Ye Yanyu also payed attention to Zhao Feng¡¯s actions. They originally thought Zhao Feng would try to grab a thing or two, but all Zhao Feng did was sit in the corner and seemed to be unmoved by the treasures on the wall.


    It wasn¡¯t that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want them, it was just that he couldn¡¯t.


    These treasures had been blocked by the three True Lord Ranks and the remains of their battle could easily kill a peak True Mystic Rank.


    Most importantly, this was the critical moment of his plan.


    ¡°Ye Yanyu, retreat ten yards and wait till I take a treasure or two.¡±


    The blood robed True Lord Rank waved the moon blade in his hand and the air seemed to be eroded by the colour of blood and keep on sweeping towards Ye Yanyu.


    Go!


    Chi Gui first summoned a True Lord Rank corpse to tangle Ye Yanyu in close combat.


    ¡°Black Wicked Eye!¡±


    A dot appeared in Chi Gui¡¯s ghastly white eye.


    Eye bloodline - Black Wicked Eye.


    ¡°Black Wicked Eye - Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye!¡±


    Black circles started to appear Chi Gui¡¯s eye and a cold mental energy aura instantly enveloped Ye Yanyu.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped as he felt a screeching mental energy.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw pale ghosts reaching out their claws and stabbing, grabbing, biting around Ye Yanyu. This scene seemed to come directly from hell.

 407 Waiting for a Pie to drop from the Sky

    This was the first time Zhao Feng had seen such a weird and scary eye bloodline.


    Invisible ghosts extended their white claws and kept on reaching for Ye Yanyu¡¯s body and opened their mouths and used their bloody tongues to lick greedily.


    This scene in front of their eyes was similar to the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground. It made one¡¯s bone chill.


    This power was invisible, but it existed between the physical and mental energy world.


    Although the naked eye couldn¡¯t see it, the body would instinctively feel cold and disgusted.


    ¡°Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye. Looks like Brother Chi Gui¡¯s going serious now and has even used this forbidden skill.¡±


    ¡°Once someone is locked by the Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye. Even True Lord Ranks might crumble and be eroded by the ghosts. Their blood essence will also be continuously eaten¡­.¡±


    The geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace were excited and expectant.


    Under normal situations Chi Gui wouldn¡¯t use the Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye easily as using this skill required a heavy price.


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and felt that her battle power was being restricted.


    Screeches sounded within her mind that shook her consciousness.


    The most direct damage was that her blood essence was being lost continuously.


    ¡°This eye bloodline is indeed terrifying and troublesome. Unfortunately, it needs to gather souls and then used a secret technique to use it.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt slightly regretful.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye couldn¡¯t copy every skill since many were based on special attributes or bloodlines.


    For example, Chi Gui¡¯s Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye was based on his Black Wicked Eye.


    However, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t afraid of the Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye.


    His Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye countered most of the techniques of the Black Cliff Palace, including the Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye.


    At this point in time Zhao Feng was instead worried for Ye Yanyu.


    ¡°If Ye Yanyu loses then my plan will be forced to change, and the difficulty will rise by several times.¡±


    Zhao Feng silently watched and didn¡¯t participate.


    His plan could smoothly progress as long as Ye Yanyu suppressed the two True Lord Ranks or were on par with the other two.


    ¡°Hmph, so the Black Cliff Palace only knows these wicked side tricks after tens of thousands of years? No wonder they¡¯re ranked last of the three Sects.¡±


    Ye Yanyu suddenly snickered coldly.


    Purifying Moon Sky Essence!


    Ye Yanyu shouted and her arms spread. At this moment she seemed to be holy and virtuous.


    Instantly a bright moonlight shone from her and everything within a ten yards radius including grass, rock and stone started to evaporate.


    ¡°Ahhhh!


    The ghosts surrounding Ye Yanyu started to screech after being shone on by that virtuous light.


    Even the True Lord Rank silver striped skeleton started to smoke.


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s Purifying Moon Sky Essence could counter the Dao of Ghost to a certain degree and instantly dissolve the trouble.


    However, at this moment in time the blood robed True Lord Rank also used a deadly skill.


    ¡°Blood Moon Devouring Spirit!¡±


    The blood robe of the True Lord Rank flapped, and a blood moon started to form in the air.


    The large blood moon caused limitless blood moonlight to drop down and clashed with Ye Yanyu¡¯s Purifying Moon Sky Essence, causing green smoke to bubble.


    Furthermore, a large mouth opened in the blood moon that locked onto Ye Yanyu.


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s expression changed as she felt a power pull her body towards the mouth.


    The Blood Moon Devouring Spirit could also directly absorb the blood of the target even from far away.


    ¡°Heh, this Blood Moon Devouring Spirit was an extremely dominant forbidden skill that can devour the essence of everything within a hundred yards radius. By concentrating it onto several yards, it¡¯s power rises dramatically.¡±


    The blood robed True Lord Rank laughed coldly.


    His Blood Moon skills and Ye Yanyu¡¯s Purifying Moon skill countered one another to a certain level.


    This move had helped Chi Gui and turned the tides around.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    Chi Gui laughed and once again summoned the Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye to block Ye Yanyu and kept on sucking her blood.


    The secret techniques of the two True Lord Ranks didn¡¯t affect one another and instead helped each other as they were of the Yin element.


    ¡°Senior brother Chi Gui, we¡¯ll give you our all!¡±


    ¡°Brother Xue, we¡¯ll take down this bitch together!¡±


    The disciples of the two sects supported from afar.


    For example, those from the Black Cliff Palace summoned ghosts to increase the Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye¡¯s power and the geniuses from the Moon Demon Palace poured their Qi of Blood Moon into the Blood Moon in the air, increasing the Blood Moon Devouring Spirit¡¯s ability.


    Invisibly.


    The power of the two secret techniques almost doubled and were truly able to suppress Ye Yanyu.


    ¡°Sky Moon Nine Slashes!¡±


    A cold glint flashed in Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes as a transparent sword appeared in her hand.


    Shu Shu Shu----


    The naked eye could only see eight or nine bright flashes of devastating moonlight slash towards the ghosts.


    Boom!


    These flashes caused the entire mountain to tremble with every strike.


    Crack!


    An arm of Chi Gui¡¯s True Lord Rank skeleton was cut off and cuts appeared on the Blood Moon as it started to destabilise.


    The moonlight seemed to be able to cut through anything and even the surrounding ghosts were damaged.


    ¡°Sky Moon Nine Slashes. What a terrifying Sword skill. Each and every strike is able to kill a normal True Lord Rank head on. Furthermore, every strike is after the first and increases in power.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t the one facing it he could still feel the devastating power of the slashes.


    When the Sky Moon Nine Slashes reached the fifth sword shock appeared in Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord¡¯s eyes and had signs of retreat.


    The ghosts of Chi Gui¡¯s Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye screeched as they died, and his eye bloodline skill was forced to stop.


    Shuu---


    The sixth sword flashed through the air and sent Chi Gui¡¯s True Lord Rank skeleton back dozens of yards.


    A bloody gash was left on Chi Gui¡¯s body and his face was slightly pale.


    Immediately following that the eighth sword shattered the Blood Moon and the air was instead filled with limitless moonlight.


    Wah!


    The blood robed True Lord Rank spat out a mouthful of blood as he retreated and a wound straight to the bone could be seen.


    As the ninth sword was about to condense Ye Yanyu¡¯s figure wavered and her face went pale white. Her blood essence and Yuan Qi was depleted, and the ninth Sky Moon Slash wasn¡¯t fully formed in the end.


    ¡°So that¡¯s what happened. Ye Yanyu could barely manage to use the Sky Moon Nine Slashes in the first place and after being damaged by the secret skills of the two True Lord Rank¡¯s, her ninth sword wasn¡¯t able to be unleashed.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew the situation better as a spectator.


    Hu~


    Both Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord let out a breath.


    Up to now Ye Yanyu still had the advantage and injured both the opponents with Chi Gui suffering the heaviest losses.


    Three to four disciples nearby had been killed and most of them were at the peak True Mystic Rank.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but feel lucky that he didn¡¯t interrupt the three True Lord Ranks.


    In reality.


    According to the plan Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t and didn¡¯t need to do anything.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled then returned to its original casual expression.


    At this point in time.


    All three True Lord Ranks were in a stalemate and were injured. They were using every breath to rest and prepare for the next strike.


    Zhao Feng felt it was boring and drank a drop of Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Dew.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng felt his mental energy begin to be cleansed and felt extremely refreshed, as if he had been washed by the sun and moon.


    The Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew could cleanse and strengthen the soul while also healing the mind.


    Another effect was to increase mental energy and comprehension.


    After using this drop Zhao Feng felt his thoughts become clearer and his mental energy level was around the early stages of the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°After I fully absorb this drop my mental energy level will be fully consolidated on the early stage True Lord Rank level.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attention went back to the situation.


    From the start till now he had sat on the same spot and had no signs to participate. It was as if he was just a spectator.


    ¡°This kid still has the mind to cultivate now?¡±


    ¡°Does he think a pie will fall down from the sky onto him?¡±


    The geniuses of the two sects looked queerly at Zhao Feng and even the three True Lord Ranks paid attention to Zhao Feng from the corner of their eyes.


    After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s battle power was top amongst those below the True Lord Rank and could change the outcome if he made his move in the end.


    However, Zhao Feng sat still and didn¡¯t move.


    Right at this moment the situation changed.


    Shua Shua!


    Both Ye Yanyu and the little thieving cat moved at the same time and leapt towards the treasures on the wall.


    ¡°Stop her!¡±


    The expressions of Chi Gui and the blood robed youth changed instantly, and both intercepted her.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat disappeared and Ye Yanyu used two Sky Moon Slashes to force back the two True Lord Ranks.


    ¡°Hehe, Life Returning Grass.¡±


    Ye Yanyu plucked out the holy grass.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its Mystic Snake Blood Whip and pulled out the blood glass fruit.


    ¡°My blood glass fruit!¡±


    The blood robed youth charged towards the little thieving cat with bulging eyes.


    The little thieving cat smiled as it took the blood glass fruit then agilely jumped towards the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom and bit towards it.


    ¡°Stop¡­. My Earth Yin Poison Mushroom!¡±


    Chi Gui exclaimed as he almost went crazy. This was a perfect material for upgrading ghost corpses.


    However.


    Ye Yanyu blocked them and they could only watch the little thieving cat take the blood glass fruit and swallow the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom.

 408 Sitting

    At this moment in time while others were fighting for the treasures, Zhao Feng was gaining comprehension from the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew.


    He remained unmoved by the competition between the three True Lords Ranks and was expressionless even when the little thieving cat took the blood glass fruit.


    Doing absolutely nothing.


    He was like a saint that focused solely on cultivation. Everything else were just outside help after all.


    ¡°According to the plan, I won¡¯t need to do anything.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes occasionally twinkled.


    From the beginning till now he had stuck to this point and didn¡¯t join in the competition between the three True Lord Ranks.


    When the little thieving cat swallowed the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom, Zhao Feng nodded his head in secret. The start of the plan had succeeded.


    However, the little thieving cat was now also in a dangerous situation.


    It had taken the blood glass fruit, an item that could increase cultivation dramatically and was something the blood robed True Lord Rank would risk his life for.


    ¡°Leave behind the blood glass fruit!¡±


    The blood robed True Lord leapt towards the little thieving cat.


    ¡°This fucking cat swallowed my Earth Yin Poison Mushroom¡­.¡±


    Chi Gui was so angry he started trembling.


    Compared to the blood glass fruit he would rather want the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom.


    He ordered the True Lord Rank skeleton to block Ye Yanyu while going for the little thieving cat himself.


    ¡°Little cat be careful.¡±


    Ye Yanyu revealed a look of worry.


    The two True Lord Ranks had left her and headed straight towards the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat had to run in the opposite direction as it couldn¡¯t go to Ye Yanyu and this direction was in Zhao Feng¡¯s path.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat flashed towards the sitting Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Little thieving cat¡­.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s heart moved and thought of something but she didn¡¯t stop it.


    This ¡®part¡¯ would test the little thieving cat¡¯s loyalty.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat disappeared when it landed on Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Brat, hand over the cat!¡±


    The blood robed True Lord and Chi Gui charged towards Zhao Feng and the latter jumped up in fright.


    This was two True Lord Ranks and not normal ones at that. He couldn¡¯t take them on.


    This meant that the little thieving cat had brought a disaster upon Zhao Feng, the original owner.


    ¡°No wonder.¡±


    Ye Yanyu let out a breath.


    ¡°So, you want to use them to finish off me?¡±


    Zhao Feng angrily pulled out the little thieving cat by the ears and threw it out.


    His reaction was extremely quick and saw through the little thieving cat¡¯s ¡®plan.¡¯


    Sou!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s Mystic Snake Blood Whip was still wrapped around the blood glass as it was thrown out.


    ¡°Leave the blood glass fruit behind!¡±


    The blood robed True Lord Rank and Chi Gui leapt towards the little thieving cat with gruesomeness.


    ¡°Little cat!!¡±


    Ye Yanyu immediately rushed over to save the little thieving cat and fought with the two True Lord Ranks whereas Zhao Feng sat back down again.


    In this current situation Ye Yanyu and the little thieving cat had the absolute advantage.


    The blood glass fruit and life returning grass had both been taken by Ye Yanyu and even the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom had been swallowed by the little thieving cat.


    ¡°Success.¡±


    Zhao Feng watched the chaotic situation and secretly looked inside his interspatial items.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng found a rotten poison mushroom within his interspatial bracelet.


    ¡°Earth Yin Poison Mushroom¡­. Mine.¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression.


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s true target.


    If Zhao Feng really had to choose between the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom and blood glass fruit, he would definitely choose the former.


    ¡°The Earth Yin Poison Mushroom is a top tier material for ghost corpses and even Chi Gui would go crazy for it. Once I use this on my green bronze ghost corpses, it can definitely reach the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart.


    Furthermore, the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom had more effects that just this.


    This was one of the main materials to create poisons.


    ¡°If this Earth Yin Poison Mushroom is used with my giant scorpion poison sack, the poison will be even deadlier and once my green bronze corpses reach the True Lord Rank and adds these two poisons, it¡¯ll be much more effective than increasing my strength.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he took a deep breath, forcing himself to be calm and he kept down the surge of excitement.


    His plan had started ever since seeing the giant scorpion.


    Firstly.


    The poison of the giant scorpion could kill those at the True Lord Rank without almost any doubt. This showed how deadly this poison was.


    Zhao Feng had also thought about how the poison would become weaker after being applied to the corpse and the corpses level wasn¡¯t high enough, so it couldn¡¯t threaten those at the True Lord Rank even with the poison sack.


    Therefore.


    The key point was still the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom.


    ¡°The Earth Yin Poison Mushroom can raise the ghost corpses strength and compensate for the loss of power in the poison sack and even strengthen it further.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s most major step was complete.


    He had the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom.


    Just thinking about how a True Lord Rank ghost corpse with a poison that could kill those at the True Lord Rank was terrifying.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng quickly put the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom into his black lotus item in the chaotic situation.


    Another reason he chose the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom and not the blood glass fruit was because if he reached the True Lord Rank, it would cause Ye Yanyu to be aware and wary.


    Therefore, if he wanted to keep on staying on the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s side it would be difficult.


    Furthermore, after eating the blood glass fruit he would need ten days to half a month to reach the True Lord Rank and in this dangerous Purple Saint Ruins, where would Zhao Feng find the time? It wasn¡¯t just one step from the late stages of the True Mystic Rank to the True Lord Rank.


    Hence Zhao Feng gave up on the blood glass fruit as it was too difficult.


    ¡°The Earth Yin Poison Mushroom isn¡¯t of much use to Ye Yanyu and wouldn¡¯t raise her attention after being taken by the little thieving cat. After all, the little thieving cat does eat a lot of resources daily.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    At this instance who would have thought that Zhao Feng would have the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom by doing nothing?


    Chi Gui still thought the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom was in the little thieving cat¡¯s stomach and was being digested. Even Ye Yanyu would be tricked.


    The second the little thieving cat disappeared it had put the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom inside Zhao Feng¡¯s interspatial bracelet.


    The little thieving cat had this ability when it was born, and Zhao Feng had a headache when his resources were eaten by the little thieving cat yet at this critical moment the little thieving cat¡¯s ability was useful.


    Within the black lotus.


    Zhao Feng controlled the situation inside with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The two green bronze corpses had a layer of ice covered over them and didn¡¯t move.


    ¡°Two corpses, one Earth Yin Poison Mushroom. It¡¯ll definitely be enough for one reaches the True Lord Rank and would have extra remaining, but it¡¯ll be wasteful.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought and finally split the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom into two, giving half each to the green bronze corpses.


    This meant that the power of the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom would be fully utilised.


    ¡°With the strengthening of the Sky Marking Stone before they each have an 80% chance to reach the True Lord Rank with half an Earth Yin Poison Mushroom.¡±


    Zhao Feng calculated.


    If he didn¡¯t get the Sky Marking Stone before and strengthened the two, Zhao Feng would focus only on one but now he decided on trying both as the poison was the key point in threatening the True Lord Ranks.


    The two green bronze corpses soon ate the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom and the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom was indeed worthy of being a top tier item for enhancing corpses. When the two ghost corpses ate it, they started to smoke with the air of erosion and their strength rose rapidly within the black lotus.


    ¡°Only two to three days is needed for the strength of these two ghost corpses to be comparable to the True Lord Rank level and at most will just be a little bit off. After that I¡¯ll add the scorpion poison sack onto them. Hehehe, this is full of expectations¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng retrieved his consciousness from the black lotus and at this point in time the battle between the three True Lord Ranks had entered the late stages.


    Ye Yanyu and the little thieving cat took at least one half of the treasures and destroyed a couple others. If they couldn¡¯t get them, they could at least weaken the opponent.


    If the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom that the little thieving cat swallowed fell into Chi Gui¡¯s hands, his battle power would rise dramatically.


    Therefore, in Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes the little thieving cat had destroyed the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom and weakened the chances of the opponent strengthening.


    Chi Gui was filled with hate and unwillingness. If he could get the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom at least one of his ghost corpses would reach the late stage True Lord Rank.


    One had to know of the ten True Lords that entered the Ruins only three had reached the late stage True Lord Rank.


    Unfortunately, this perfect treasure had been eaten by the little thieving cat.


    On the other side the blood robed True Lord Rank also grinded his teeth as the blood glass fruit was finally obtained by Ye Yanyu.


    Although it wasn¡¯t the most suitable for Ye Yanyu it would still allow her cultivation to rise.


    However, Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t immediately eat it as she didn¡¯t have the chance to.


    She had been attacked by the forbidden techniques of the two True Lord Ranks before and was slightly injured. Although she suppressed the two in the end she paid a heavy price and the little thieving cat¡¯s contributions were immeasurable.


    The treasures on the wall was soon split and Zhao Feng sat on the ground from beginning to end, never participating.


    The geniuses of the three forces all looked weirdly towards Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng had almost fully absorbed the first drop of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Dew Shoot and his mental energy level was comparable to the early stages of the True Lord Rank.


    Finally, he stood up.


    ¡°Goddess Ye.¡±


    Zhao Feng found Ye Yanyu.


    ¡°What?¡±


    After a hard-fought battle Ye Yanyu was injured and her face was slightly pale.


    ¡°I want two drops of the Elixir of Life from the Life Returning Grass or half of the Life Returning Grass.¡±


    Zhao Feng said expressionlessly.


    What?


    Ye Yanyu wasn¡¯t sure if she had heard correctly.


    She had fought for her life to get this life returning grass and this guy had done nothing at all and had just sat there the entire time. And now he wants half?

 409 Blocking the Way

    ¡°What, this is possible?¡±


    The geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace nearby looked weirdly towards Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t done anything at all and just sat at the back while the others fought for the treasures.


    The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect side only had Ye Yanyu and she had crushed the people present alone.


    After Ye Yanyu had had reaped the rewards he had asked for a precious life returning grass. Even those from the Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace couldn¡¯t stand to watch such shamelessness.


    However, Zhao Feng acted very confidently, as if he was certain Ye Yanyu would give it to him.


    ¡°Nice dreams.¡±


    Ye Yanyu gave the white eye to Zhao Feng.


    She didn¡¯t mind Zhao Feng taking some of the shares from the giant scorpion as the organs inside were dirty and bloody.


    However, the Life Returning Grass was different. Its value wasn¡¯t something a giant scorpion poison sack could be compared to.


    Furthermore, the Life Returning Grass was a second life to anyone and Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t done a thing at all when they thought. Just thinking about this made Ye Yanyu angry. She was even hesitating whether to recommend him into the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect or not.


    ¡°According to our deal, you need to help me three times. Let this time count as one.¡±


    Zhao Feng said expressionlessly and Ye Yanyu paused.


    According to the deal between them, this was indeed true.


    Zhao Feng had already used one chance to help when Ye Yanyu had protected him and Zhao Feng was obviously going to the second chance right now.


    ¡°Hehe, our deal was that I would help you three times but doesn¡¯t include giving you free items.¡±


    Ye Yanyu smiled. She wasn¡¯t someone that would let Zhao Feng cut her up freely.


    Zhao Feng fell silent for a moment before saying through gritted teeth: ¡¯You¡¯re being shameless.¡±


    ¡°My help to you can¡¯t obviously be without limit or restrictions. If you want me to die will I go kill myself? If you told me to give everything to you, will I have to?¡±


    Ye Yanyu laughed coldly.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat clapped its paws together for Ye Yanyu with gloat.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes squinted and although Ye Yanyu had been deceived by him and the little thieving cat she obviously wasn¡¯t a retard that would give such easy benefits to him.


    ¡°Do you want the Life Returning Grass to save someone important life? If you dissolve the blood pact between you and the little thieving cat I can consider it.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes flashed as she came close to the truth.


    ¡°Just owe someone a favour.¡±


    Zhao Feng turned and walked to the other side.


    He had expected Ye Yanyu to not agree but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t panic. He still had two ways to get the Life Returning Grass.


    At this time the geniuses of the three sides still scavenged the treasures nearby but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t participate.


    After the fight all three True Lord Ranks were injured and Ye Yanyu walked out of the cave to find a calm place to recover.


    ¡°The erosion wound on my soul is so difficult to heal¡­.¡±


    Ye Yanyu sat cross legged with a slightly pale expression.


    Her physical body had been lightly injured during the fight and the main damage was her blood essence as well as soul.


    After all, in the battle Chi Gui and the blood robed youth had both used forbidden techniques which Ye Yanyu took head on.


    Ye Yanyu used many precious spiritual pills which recovered her Yuan Qi but her recovery speed for her blood essence was much slower.


    The hardest to heal was still the damage on her soul caused by Chi Gui¡¯s ¡®Wicked Spiritual Ghost Eye.¡±


    ¡°The damage on the soul can¡¯t be healed quickly. Even if you use the Life Returning Grass, it¡¯ll only recover your life force but won¡¯t have much of an effect on your soul.¡±


    Zhao Feng said slowly.


    ¡°What? You know medicine?¡±


    Ye Yanyu harrumphed and released her True Lord Rank aura to shake the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby to signal Zhao Feng not make any moves as even if she wasn¡¯t at her peak she could kill Zhao Feng as easily as flipping her palm.


    ¡°I would think that you have one or two spiritual pills which help recover the soul but will take at least half a month and wouldn¡¯t guarantee the injuries to be fully healed.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and Ye Yanyu was surprised because what he thought was almost the exact same as the situation.


    This meant that Ye Yanyu needed at least half a month to reach her peak and the Purple Saint Ruins was filled with fortune including the core of the Ruins - the Ruins Treasured Palace.


    ¡°Luckily I found some Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew in the cave which can cleanse the erosion by the Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye. If you get two drops of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew only two or three days will be needed to heal the injury on the soul. Plus, it won¡¯t leave behind any hidden injuries.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew.


    Hearing this Ye Yanyu¡¯s expression changed.


    She had obviously heard of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew¡¯s effect before. It could strengthen mental energy and comprehension. It was even useful for her who was at the late stages of the True Lord Rank.


    Most importantly this was extremely effective to heal injuries of the soul.


    ¡°Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew¡­.¡±


    Ye Yanyu bit her lips.


    In her current situation she desperately needed this item which could cleanse the soul and in terms of value the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew was only below the Life Returning Grass and blood glass fruit.


    However, after saying this Zhao Feng became silent.


    This was his second path and he didn¡¯t believe Ye Yanyu would reject this.


    However, Ye Yanyu was very calm and didn¡¯t immediately ask to trade as she was worried Zhao Feng would rip her off drastically.


    Zhao Feng was happy to wait and used another drop of Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew in front of Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes to strengthen his mental energy.


    ¡°The second drop of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew isn¡¯t that effective for me anymore but still can fully consolidate my mental energy level to the early stage True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to comprehend and while Ye Yanyu was recovering Zhao Feng didn¡¯t forget the two green bronze corpses within the black lotus.


    The air of death of the two green bronze ghost corpses started to consolidate and the smell of erosion was getting stronger.


    In the blink of an eye two days had passed and the auras of the two ghost corpses were about the True Lord Rank level and the energy from the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom had almost been fully expended.


    On the outside dark silver lines had replaced the green bronze and it was better to call it ¡®dark silver poison corpses¡¯ instead because the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom was a very deadly plant and the two ghost corpses already had a strong poison.


    ¡°Even if the giant scorpion poison sack isn¡¯t added on this dark silver poison corpses¡¯ poison is enough to threaten those at the True Spirit Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be filled with expectation.


    His poison corpse plan was about 60-70% complete.


    Next Zhao Feng secretly put the poison sack into the black lotus and then added it on the dark silver poison corpses in secret in the black lotus.


    With the addition of the poison sack the silver lines on the two poison corpses were more obvious now.


    ¡°In terms of level these two dark silver poison corpses are barely at 80% of a True Lord Rank but with their poison, their true damage far exceeds normal True Lord Rank ghost corpses.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected them with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    As long as he raised them well these two dark silver poison corpses would be able to easily reach the True Lord Rank.


    After three days of resting Ye Yanyu finally couldn¡¯t resist it and found Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Let¡¯s trade.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s voice sounded from behind and a smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s lips as he traded two drops of Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew for two drops of the Elixir of Life.


    ¡°Elixir of Life is now in my hands now.¡±


    Zhao Feng put the two drops into his green gourd and Ye Yanyu immediately used the two drops of Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew to increase her recovery speed.


    In this period, Zhao Feng travelled around the mysterious canyon trying to find some treasures.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    The geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace were heading this way as well as the leading Chi Gui had mostly recovered and saw Zhao Feng and the recovering Ye Yanyu from far away.


    His eyes twinkled as it scanned over Ye Yanyu and Zhao Feng.


    Even if Ye Yanyu wasn¡¯t at her peak, they didn¡¯t have the confidence to beat them.


    ¡°Brother Chi Gui, Brother Mo Yu has sent a ghost arrow letter saying he¡¯ll come over and support us.¡±


    A figure flashed and arrived.


    ¡°Great, Brother Mo Yu is even a bit stronger than me and we¡¯ll have a 60% victory rate against the soul injured Ye Yanyu. At the very least that blue haired brat and cunning cat won¡¯t be able to escape¡­.¡±


    A brutal smile appeared on Chi Gui¡¯s face.


    The strongest genius from the Black Cliff Palace this time wasn¡¯t Chi Gui, but Mo Yu and Mo Yu also led a team that was even larger.


    ¡°Brother Chi Gui, that kid¡¯s coming.¡±


    The girl who originally owned the black lotus looked at the blue haired youth coming over in fear.


    The newcomer was indeed Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Everyone please wait.¡±


    Zhao Feng confidently blocked the path of those from the Black Cliff Palace and Chi Gui and company¡¯s expression dimmed as they released their ghostly auras that would even make normal True Spirit Realms unable to breathe.


    ¡°Brat, how dare you block our way? Are you tired of living?¡±


    ¡°Brother Chi Gui let us kill him!¡±


    The geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace grinded their teeth in hatred.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    The expression of the nose pierced Chi Gui fell as white flames seemed to glow in his eyes as he stared at Zhao Feng but didn¡¯t make any moves.


    The confidence and calmness Zhao Feng displayed made him suspicious that there was a trick.

 410 Trade

    At this moment.


    Zhao Feng blocked those from the Black Cliff Palace with confidence.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, does this brat want to take all of us alone?¡±


    The geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace had mockery on their faces but the black lotus girl in the group had fear and wary in her eyes, not daring to underestimate Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Kid¡­. do you want to come to the Black Cliff palace¡¯s side? Since you¡¯re a genius in the Dao of Corpses I can consider recommending you.¡±


    White flames burned in Chi Gui¡¯s eyes as he licked his lips and glanced at Ye Yanyu two miles away out of the corner of his eye.


    He had the confidence to slay Zhao Feng before Ye Yanyu arrived.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to have any traces of fear as he faced those from the Black Cliff Palace.


    What was even weirder was that Ye Yanyu who was recovering didn¡¯t even seem to care about Zhao Feng¡¯s life.


    All of this unusualness made Chi Gui suspicious.


    Did Ye Yanyu really not care about Zhao Feng¡¯s life?


    The eyes of those from the Black Cliff Palace twinkled but they couldn¡¯t make a decision as they were scared there was a trick.


    In reality.


    Chi Gui and company weren¡¯t wrong. Ye Yanyu did indeed not care about Zhao Feng¡¯s life but was worried if he died, the little thieving cat would also.


    As for Zhao Feng he wasn¡¯t scared of the Black Cliff Palace because his mental energy had reached the early stage True Lord Rank and with two other dark silver poison corpses with the battle power of a True Lord Rank each, normal True Lord¡¯s weren¡¯t his match.


    ¡°Let¡¯s make a deal.¡±


    Zhao Feng said lightly in a casual tone.


    Deal?


    Chi Gui and company were first surprised but their faces was then filled with disdain yet before their response, Zhao Feng had opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and scanned across the group.


    Weng~


    Those from the Black Cliff Palace felt their senses turn and suddenly appear in a simple building.


    Within the building Zhao Feng sat on one side while Chi Gui and the others were on the other.


    ¡°Mental energy illusion? He put all of us into one?¡±


    ¡°This kid¡¯s mental energy illusions are indeed not simple and uses this method to communicate with us.¡±


    A couple of the genius¡¯ from the Black Cliff Palace looked at Zhao Feng in a different perspective and Chi Gui was slightly moved. Zhao Feng had created a mental energy illusion which was extremely realistic but most importantly, it had enveloped all of them.


    He suddenly realised why Zhao Feng dared to face all of them alone.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level had reached the early stage True Lord Rank, not far different from Chi Gui.


    If he used a mental energy skill everyone apart from Chi Gui wouldn¡¯t be able to block it.


    ¡°Kid, what do you want? What do you have to trade with us?¡±


    Chi Gui immediately got straight to the point.


    At this moment he didn¡¯t dare underestimate Zhao Feng.


    Once Zhao Feng and Ye Yanyu teamed up, all of them might be left behind.


    Luckily he saw that there was a bridge between Zhao Feng and Ye Yanyu as well and they didn¡¯t trust one another.


    ¡°I want the giant scorpion claws, Deadly Yin Crystal Bone and Ten Thousand Corpse Grass.¡±


    Zhao Feng asked for three materials and was certain that they had the giant scorpions claws.


    When they were splitting the giant scorpion, the claws had went to the Black Cliff Palace.


    As for the Deadly Yin Crystal Bone and Ten Thousand Corpse Grass Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t certain if they had it or not.


    ¡°The giant scorpion claws is easy to say, as we have four and trading one is fine. As for the Deadly Yin Crystal Bone it can increase the offense of a ghost corpse and is extremely rare. The Ten Thousand Corpse Grass is even more precious and can raise the ghost corpses cultivation and it¡¯s value is just below the Earth Yin Poison Mushrooms. Even if we had it we wouldn¡¯t trade it with you.¡±


    Chi Gui responded.


    He was wondering what Zhao Feng needed this items for.


    Soon.


    A flash passed Chi Gui¡¯s eyes: ¡°The giant scorpion claws comes from the large scorpion and is extremely sharp. Once it combines with the poison sack it¡¯ will be able to use the poison better. He wants the giant scorpion claw then use it with the poison and add it onto the ghost corpses¡­¡±


    He was indeed worthy of being a True Lord Rank genius and soon found Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts.


    Zhao Feng was actually planning this. He would increase the sharpness of the ghost corpses and the claws worked in sync with the poison.


    ¡°The Deadly Yin Crystal Bone can increase the ghost corpses offense and only by increasing the attack power would the opponent¡¯s defense be pierced open and for the poison to take effect.¡±


    Chi Gui continued down this path.


    ¡°However, although the Deadly Yin Crystal Bone can raise a ghost corpses offense the ghost corpse still can¡¯t threaten those at the True Lord Rank in the end. Therefore he wants the Ten Thousand Corpse Grass to raise the ghost corpse to the True Lord Rank.¡±


    After finishing the analysis Chi Gui looked coldly at Zhao Feng.


    Once Zhao Feng¡¯s chain of thoughts was complete his strength would greatly threaten the ten True Lords.


    Chi Gui was now wary and cautious against Zhao Feng.


    ¡°We can¡¯t do this deal.¡±


    Chi Gui immediately declined and Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. Why would Chi Gui increase the opponent¡¯s strength?


    However, if he found Chi Gui it meant that he had a certain amount of confidence even if it wasn¡¯t one hundred percent.


    ¡°I¡¯ll use two resources to trade. If you¡¯re not willing then nevermind.¡±


    After saying this Zhao Feng took out a drop of Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew and a small piece of the Sky Marking Stone.


    Zhao Feng still had three drops of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew left and was only planning to trade one.


    There was originally one large piece of Sky Marking Stone but had been split into three by Zhao Feng to strengthen the two ghost corpses and this was the last remaining small piece.


    When these two items were taken out Chi Gui¡¯s expression changed slightly.


    ¡°If I remember correctly, your True Lord Rank skeleton but slashed into two by the giant scorpion and the arm of the other True Lord Rank corpse had been cut off be Ye Yanyu. Is Brother Chi willing to heal them?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and Chi Gui didn¡¯t say anything.


    Over the past couple days his two True Lord Rank corpses had barely been fixed and cost a lot of top resources but their battle powers had both fallen by a bit.


    Coincidentally Zhao Feng¡¯s Sky Marking Stone could strengthen ghost corpses and he had to admit the Sky Marking Stone attracted him.


    ¡°If I can get a piece of Sky Marking Stone my two True Lord Rank ghost corpses will not only recover but even become a bit stronger.¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s heart was moved but he didn¡¯t immediately speak.


    ¡°Hehe, a forbidden technique such as the Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye must have a terrible backlash. One drop of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew doesn¡¯t seem to be enough.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly again and this time Chi Gui¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    He had paid a price for using the Wicked Spirit Ghost Eye and harmed himself after using it on Ye Yanyu who had higher cultivation.


    Even though a genius from the Black Cliff Palace had given him a drop of the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew, he still hadn¡¯t fully recovered.


    Even Ye Yanyu had to trade with Zhao Feng for two drops of Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew to recover.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to trade then I¡¯ll leave.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly rose and waved his hand.


    Shua!


    Everyone felt their senses return to the mysterious canyon.


    Everything just then was created by a mental energy illusion from Zhao Feng and no one apart from those at the Origin Core Realm or higher could see what went on.


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    Chi Gui gritted his teeth and called Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng seemed to look puzzled back towards those from the Black Cliff palace.


    The reason why he suggested the trade meant he obviously had some confidence.


    Currently Chi Gui¡¯s strength had decreased and needed the Sky Marking Stone and Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew urgently.


    ¡°If I can get these two items my strength will recover and might even rise by a bit.¡±


    Chi Gui made a decision and took out a claw as big as a tree from his interspatial ring then threw it onto the ground.


    ¡°Giant scorpion claw.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    After that Chi Gui told another youth from the Black Cliff Palace to take out a dark silver crystal with a pained expression.


    ¡°Deadly Yin Crystal Bone.¡±


    Zhao Feng was very satisfied.


    ¡°We only have these two items. Even if we had the Ten Thousand Corpse Grass we wouldn¡¯t give it to you because the value of it is far more than the two you¡¯re giving.¡±


    Chi Gui said lowly and laughed coldly within his heart: ¡°Without the Ten Thousand Corpse Grass your ghost corpse won¡¯t be able to reach the True Lord Rank level and no matter how poisonous they are and how sharp their attacks is, it won¡¯t be able to threaten me.¡±


    In reality Chi Gui and company really didn¡¯t have the Ten Thousand Corpse Grass. If they had it they would have used it on their own ghost corpses already.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a barely manageable expression.


    The reason why he mentioned the Ten Thousand Corpse Grass was to mislead Chi Gui¡¯s ¡®thoughts¡¯ and make him think that he needed it to increase the level of his ghost corpses.


    He wouldn¡¯t have thought that Zhao Feng had already increased the ghost corpses¡¯ level by using the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom.


    This misleading could result in Zhao Feng hiding his cards and make the opponent underestimate himself.


    He hadn¡¯t dreamed of getting the Ten Thousand Corpse Grass. Just getting the scorpion claw and Deadly Yin Crystal Bone was enough.


    For safety Zhao Feng made Chi Gui send out two peak True Mystic Rank geniuses to trade with him as on the surface the Black Cliff Palace had an overwhelming advantage.


    ¡°This kid is very cautious.¡±


    Chi Gui nodded his head in agreement.


    A while later Zhao Feng got his giant scorpion claw and Deadly Yin Crystal Bone while Chi Gui got what he wanted.


    The two sides probably wouldn¡¯t have thought that they would have traded with one another.


    ¡°The giant scorpion claw can sharpen the claws of the two dark silver poison corpses and can slash through the opponent¡¯s defense, allowing the poison to take effect. The Deadly Yin Crystal Bone can increase the overall strength of the corpses.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed in his heart.


    The Black Cliff Palace side.


    Chi Gui and company had dim expressions with killing intent as they watched Zhao Feng leave.


    ¡°Senior brother, do you want to¡­..¡±


    A skinny youth waved his hand in the motion of cutting.


    At this point in time Zhao Feng had his back towards them and was only a hundred yards away.


    It could be said that this was the best time to attack.


    ¡°Does this brat really not fear us?¡±


    Deadliness flashed in Chi Gui¡¯s eyes as he slowly raised a hand.


    The geniuses from the Black Cliff palace all held their breaths and licked their lips in excitement. With one order they could splatter Zhao Feng¡¯s blood and take his life and treasure.

 411 Bait Kill Fail

    In the air of the canyon.


    Black smoke rolled across the skies and everything within a ten-mile radius was dead silent.


    Chi Gui stood at the middle and a white flame danced in his eyes. One hand was raised and killing intent was released.


    Those from the Black Cliff palace had excited and gruesome expressions as they held their breaths.


    At this moment in time even Ye Yanyu two miles away felt a chilling killing intent.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat yawned, as if it didn¡¯t care about its ¡®previous owners¡¯¡¯ life or death.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, if he dies you¡¯ll also be dragged down.¡±


    Ye Yanyu revealed a worrisome expression.


    She didn¡¯t care whether Zhao Feng died or lived but was scared that his death would also drag down the little thieving cat whom he had a blood pact with.


    This strength of this dragging down depended on the distance between them, their cultivation, bloodline and soul strength.


    However, it was obvious Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat were very close to one another and they didn¡¯t have massive differences between them.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and revealed a cold expression, signalling that even if it might die it¡¯ll bring down its previous owner.


    ¡°No, this is too risky. What if Zhao Feng decides to kill you first before he dies out of unwillingness?¡±


    Ye Yanyu couldn¡¯t resist it and stood up.


    There was only two miles between them and all Zhao Feng needed to do was block a moment or two and Ye Yanyu would arrive.


    However, Zhao Feng had turned his black to those from the Black Cliff palace and was walking over slowly.


    He didn¡¯t even seem to feel the cold killing intent from those behind.


    ¡°This brat¡­. Is he certain that I¡¯ll save him?¡±


    Ye Yanyu was infuriated and stomped her foot on the ground.


    Zhao Feng was too close to the Black Cliff Palace and once Chi Gui and company attacked Ye Yanyu wouldn¡¯t have the time to rescue him.


    Yet.


    In this critical moment Chi Gui¡¯s raised hand never lowered.


    A rare sign of hesitation appeared on his face.


    That¡¯s right, Ye Yanyu saw the clear sign of struggle on his face.


    Even the geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace felt weird. Brother Chi Gui was usually decisive, what was there to worry about?


    At this point in time.


    Unknowingly, Chi Gui¡¯s bloodline, the ¡®Wicked Spirit Eye¡¯ suddenly became uneasy.


    He cultivated the Dao of Ghost Corpses and his mental energy was stronger than others his cultivation. Adding on the fact he had an eye bloodline he had a sensitive instinct.


    Chi Gui always trusted his instinct without doubt and it had allowed to escape several times before.


    A scene suddenly appeared in Chi Gui¡¯s mind:


    An ¡®Eye of Heaven¡¯ appearing in the skies and looking down at the world as if it was an existence on level with the Heaven and Earth.


    At the last moment the gaze of the Eye of Heaven seemed to see through his body and into his soul.


    Hu~


    Chi Gui shook his head and hiccupped.


    Voices from others from the Black Cliff Palace sounded in his ears: ¡°Brother Chi Gui, if we don¡¯t make a move now we¡¯ll miss the chance.¡±


    Chi Gui looked over and saw that Zhao Feng had walked out of a hundred yards, still at that slow pace.


    It was Ye Yanyu who was instead rushing over urgently.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    Chi Gui suddenly decided that no one understood.


    Although the geniuses from the Black Cliff palace were surprised they didn¡¯t dare go against the order and retreated.


    ¡°Brother Chi Gui, that kid¡¯s very close to us and once we make a move even Ye Yanyu won¡¯t make it in time.¡±


    The youth as skinny as a branch didn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°This brat isn¡¯t pretending to be calm. He really isn¡¯t scared of us and most importantly, I can¡¯t see his true skills.¡±


    Chi Gui said solemnly.


    In the Purple Saint Ruins Chi Gui was familiar with the other ten True Lord Ranks and he knew a bit about Ye Yanyu and even the number one genius.


    However, the more Chi Gui interacted with this youth in front of him the more terrifying he felt Zhao Feng was.


    There was a saying: Unknown enemies were much scarier than known enemies.


    The geniuses from the Black Cliff palace didn¡¯t make a move and watched Zhao Feng fly out one mile.


    ¡°I wanted to trick this Chi Gui, but it looks like he¡¯s pretty cautious¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured to himself with slight regret.


    He had purposely turned around on them to give them the ¡®flaw¡¯ to kill him.


    Zhao Feng was certain that Ye Yanyu wouldn¡¯t just watch him die.


    Hence the geniuses from the Black Cliff palace and Ye Yanyu would clash and once this succeeded Zhao Feng had a high chance to make half the Black Cliff palace stay and might be able to even slay the True Lord Rank Chi Gui.


    After all, Chi Gui¡¯s fall in strength was greater than Ye Yanyu¡¯s and Ye Yanyu had already recovered a lot from using the Solar Lunar Sky Bamboo Shoot Dew from a couple days ago.


    In a head on exchange with Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat as support, Ye Yanyu had a 50-60% to slay Chi Gui.


    Even if they couldn¡¯t kill him they would be able to kill a couple others and the spoils of war would be useful to Zhao Feng as they were about the Dao of Ghost Corpses.


    Unfortunately.


    Chi Gui instead retreated at the critical moment and hence, he dodged this ¡®bait kill¡¯, meaning that the trick ended in failure.


    Why did it failure?


    Zhao Feng felt that he acted too calm and made Chi Gui wary of Ye Yanyu.


    Of course, there was also that instinctive protection which Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye also had which had allowed him to escape.


    For example, back at the Sun Feather City, Zhao Feng had been pursued by an elder of the Qiu family, but this had been sensed by him beforehand and he prepared for it.


    Soon.


    Zhao Feng and Ye Yanyu met and the latter let out a breath but had a cold face: ¡°You better not have any tricks and don¡¯t even think about working with wicked forces such as the Black Cliff palace.¡±


    ¡°Goddess Ye is correct. I wanted to trade with the Black Cliff Palace but didn¡¯t think these wicked Daoist¡¯s had killing intent in their hearts. I have to thank Goddess Ye for helping me.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    In terms of collaboration he would choose the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect first.


    This was the strongest of the three sects and was righteous. Whatever said, they were better than the Black Cliff Palace and much safer.


    Ye Yanyu was about to say something but the sound of flying appeared from afar.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    Eight or nine figures flashed through the air and headed in this direction.


    Amongst them was a powerful True Lord Rank aura which was even stronger than Chi Gui and the blood robed youth¡¯s.


    ¡°Could Brother Mo Yu¡¯s reinforcements have arrived?¡±


    The geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace were expectant and a flash of joy appeared on Chi Gui¡¯s eyes.


    However, his expression changed dramatically when he released his spiritual sense.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Chi Gui ordered and led the group in retreat.


    A while later.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    Eight or nine moonlight figures consisting of both males and females arrived.


    The leader was a handsome silver robed youth with red hair.


    His cultivation had reached the early stages of the True Lord Rank and was faintly stronger than Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord Rank¡¯s.¡±


    The silver robed youth¡¯s eyes lit up as he spotted Ye Yanyu and said with a smile: ¡°Sister Ye we found some things over there so came over a bit late, sorry about that.¡±


    ¡°I am enough. Just two True Lord Ranks from the Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace isn¡¯t enough to threaten me.¡±


    Ye Yanyu sat cross legged on the ground with an emotionless attitude, not caring about the silver robed youth at all.


    Zhao Feng could see that this silver robed True Lord was one of those chasing after Ye Yanyu and he wasn¡¯t surprised. Why wouldn¡¯t someone like Ye Yanyu have handsome youths going after her?


    Most normal youths probably didn¡¯t even have the right or courage.


    There were one or two martial sisters that were pretty good with Ye Yanyu and started to talk with her.


    ¡°Sister Ye, you¡¯re injured?


    ¡°Who else apart from Brother Lu would be able to suppress Sister Ye with her strength?¡±


    The two martial sisters had reached the peak True Mystic Rank and were both surprised.


    Ye Yanyu smiled and shortly told what had happened with Chi Gui and the blood robed True Lord.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine that Sister Ye has this good luck. The treasures in this cave was even better than ours.¡±


    The girls were as close as sisters and just looking at them felt nice.


    The male disciples of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect sighed with admiration. Ye Yanyu was flawless.


    However, Ye Yanyu and a few others were all extremely pretty and even the silver robed True Lord couldn¡¯t interrupt.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t mind this and instead was surprised at the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s strength.


    In the group Ye Yanyu and the silver robed youth were True Lords and over the remaining half were peak True Mystic Rank¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s late stage True Mystic Rank strength was at the bottom amongst the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    ¡°Sister Ye, who¡¯s this brat?¡±


    The silver robed male and company finally found a topic to discuss and their eyes landed on Zhao Feng with a flash.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any auras of the three sides on him and this gave them many speculations.


    Any genius that entered the Purple Saint Ruins had inheritance tokens from the three sects.


    ¡°Hehe, I think she¡¯s Sister Ye¡¯s prisoner of war.¡±


    A pretty young girl smiled and inspected Zhao Feng and even touched his blue hair.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed but didn¡¯t do anything. The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t just terrifying.


    According to what he knew five of the ten True Lord Ranks came from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sects including the strongest.


    ¡°This cat is also so cute!¡±


    Another girl wanted to touch the little thieving cat but was dodged by the latter.


    ¡°Sister Ye, what¡¯s with this human and cat?¡±


    The eyes of the silver robed youth twinkled, and the other male disciples inspected Zhao Feng with caution.


    Ye Yanyu finally mentioned simply about the deal between her and Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hmph, what¡¯s there to discuss with these clowns. We¡¯ll just capture him and torture out his secrets.¡±


    The silver robed youth coldly released his True Spirit Realm aura and the air seemed to be filled with a brilliant moonlight that made others unable to breathe.

 412 The Legendary Continen

    ¡°.......... We¡¯ll just capture him and torture out his secrets.¡±


    The silver robed youth¡¯s attitude was extremely forceful, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.


    He then released his True Lord Rank aura and purposely pressured where Zhao Feng was at.


    ¡°What senior brother says is correct. This person¡¯s history is unknown and might be a spy from the other sects.¡±


    ¡°A genius not from the three sects but is able to enter the Purple Saint Ruins. We must force out the secret.¡±


    The other males all jumped in and agreed.


    Of the people present excluding Ye Yanyu, the silver robed youth Yu Luo had the highest status and led the other group.


    ¡°Aye, so this is how the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect treats its guests? I heard Goddess Ye was a righteous sect that strived forwards and wanted Goddess Ye to recommend me to enter the sect. But it looks like¡­ aye, never mind.¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a heavily disappointed expression and Yu Luo and company all turned towards Ye Yanyu with frozen expressions.


    ¡°Brother Yu Luo, don¡¯t interfere the business between me and him. I know most of his history.¡±


    Ye Yanyu furrowed her eyebrows. She originally didn¡¯t want to protect Zhao Feng, but because he had called her out, she couldn¡¯t do nothing.


    After all, the two had a deal and if Yu Luo and company were being very forceful, it was not giving her face.


    ¡°Sister Ye, since you have a deal with him, I obviously wouldn¡¯t interfere but for the safety of the sect disciples we must ask how he entered the Purple Saint Ruins.¡±


    Yu Luo¡¯s expression softened and changed to ¡®asking.¡¯


    ¡°This one has no guilt. Ask whatever you want.¡±


    Zhao Feng sat on the ground and purposely moved a bit closer to Ye Yanyu and the other girls. Yu Luo couldn¡¯t attack him nor restrict his freedom. He could ask whatever he wanted.


    Yu Luo¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and thought: ¡°Is this brat not scared of me?¡±


    With his True Lord Rank cultivation, under normal situations, who wasn¡¯t respectful towards him?


    Furthermore, Yu Luo¡¯s True Lord Rank aura seemed to be ineffective against Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Where do you come from? How did you enter the Purple Saint Ruins?¡±


    Yu Luo immediately went straight to the point.


    ¡°I come from the great Azure Stone Continent and entered this Ruins because of a mysterious power which enveloped me and this cat as well¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions was extremely arrogant and when he said the Azure Stone Continent, he was full of proudness.


    ¡°Azure Stone Continent? Continent?¡±


    The geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect were stunned. Continents were a legendary place and only Ye Yanyu had a mocked smile on her face as she already knew about Zhao Feng¡¯s situation.


    ¡°Wait, what¡¯s the highest star level of the strongest force in this continent and the highest known cultivation?¡±


    Yu Luo reacted.


    ¡°The strongest is a one-star clan and the highest cultivation is the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng said uncertainly.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­. Frogs at the bottom of the well dare to call themselves a continent?¡±


    The geniuses from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect laughed so hard their heads went backwards.


    ¡°As expected, you don¡¯t know anything.¡±


    Yu Luo¡¯s disdain became more obvious.


    ¡°What? What do you¡­. All mean?¡±


    Zhao Feng pretended to not know anything. After asking Qing Xiaoxue from the Wind Snow Pavilion, he had faintly realised that the Azure Flower Continent he was from wasn¡¯t a true ¡®continent.¡¯


    At that time, Qing Xiaoxue had said that: ¡°.... some small islands call themselves ¡®continents¡¯ and are frogs at the bottom of a well.¡±


    He said this to confirm what she said and purposely become underestimated.


    It was obvious Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts were true.


    Hearing that Zhao Feng came from a ¡®continent¡¯ the geniuses from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect obviously looked down at him in disdain.


    ¡°Haha, the strongest clan of your islands is only one stars and the strongest is only at the Origin Core Realm. It obviously can¡¯t be the legendary continent.¡±


    A girl next to Ye Yanyu who found this funny explained.


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe this. I actually do come from a continent and was raised there.¡±


    Zhao Feng pretended to go crazy and unable to accept this reality.


    That girl jumped up in fright before smiling: ¡°This is very normal. Many natives on the islands are limited in knowledge and think that the place they live on is a continent. When you enter the true world, you will understand.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha idiot, there¡¯s at least a dozen of islands like yours under the Pure Moon Spiritual Sects control.¡±


    The group from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect laughed.


    Invisibly they had a ¡®superiority¡¯ to Zhao Feng and looked down or even ignored him.


    This was what Zhao Feng wanted - to make these people feel unthreatened by him and obviously wouldn¡¯t be cautious of him or restrict him.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Zhao Feng still pretended to be unable to accept this and asked the girl from before.


    ¡°Hehe, when the Desolate Continent shattered and turned into a trillion dust, every speckle was an island. Apart from the islands is limitless sea, including your continent or our Tianlu Islands are all specks in the limitless void.¡±


    The girl explained.


    Zhao Feng knew a bit or two about the Desolate Continent and the battle of ancient gods from reading records.


    In that era the world only had one Desolate Continent that was formed from chaos.


    In that era every being there was a legend to the current era.


    Peng Peng!


    When the Desolate Continent was mentioned, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye jumped.


    Through some parts of dreams Zhao Feng guessed that the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye came from that era.


    ¡°The Ancient is broken, and the Ancient Gods slain will turn into a trillion dust¡­.¡±


    The sound of when the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye first merged with him also proved the current situation of the world.


    Next.


    The kind-hearted girl told Zhao Feng the situation of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace all came from the Tianlu Islands and these two were the absolutes in this area. They led up to several hundred one-star forces together.


    The geniuses that entered the Purple Saint Ruins came from the three sects and the ten strongest one-star forces under them.


    This meant that every genius had a force at least comparable to the ¡®Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯ behind them and surpassed the ten Great Clans of the Azure Flower Continent and the three sects was more than a level higher than the ten clans of the Azure Flower Continent.


    Every force was split between five stars and every difference in one star was like the difference between the Heavens and Earth.


    A one-star difference could be dozens of times or even a hundred times stronger.


    For example, the one-star clans that were under the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect were like masters and their slaves.


    ¡°The Azure Flower Continent is probably an ant in these two-star sects¡¯ eyes.¡±


    Zhao Feng had successfully made these people underestimate and look down on him, but his heart was slightly bitter.


    If he hadn¡¯t entered this inheritance he probably wouldn¡¯t know he was still a frog at the bottom of a well.


    Yu Luo and soon gave up on questioning Zhao Feng and lost interest in him.


    The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect sent out some of the geniuses to look for treasures around the mysterious canyon while others stayed behind.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Sister Ye, there¡¯s a very important piece of information that I forgot to tell you.¡±


    Yu Luo suddenly remembered something.


    ¡°Important information? Apart from the Ruins Treasured Palace whose place isn¡¯t known, what other piece of information is important to me?¡±


    Ye Yanyu said.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Ruins Treasured Palace.¡±


    Yu Luo¡¯s face tightened: ¡°According to our sects¡¯ disciples the Ruins Treasured Palace had appeared before.¡±


    ¡°What!? The Ruins Treasured Palace has appeared before?¡±


    Ye Yanyu was shocked and her expression seemed to contain a bit of defeat.


    Ruins Treasured palace?


    Hearing this Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved.


    He knew a thing or two about the Ruins Treasured Palace when questioning Qing Xiaoxue.


    The Ruins Treasured Palace was the core of the inheritance but didn¡¯t appear every time the ruins opened.


    Only by entering the Ruins Treasured Palace would one be able to receive the true essence of this place.


    Compared with that this mysterious canyon was like wild grass.


    ¡°According to previous experience the Ruins Treasured Palace will appear only once every ten times and according to the Elders, the stronger the bloodline of the geniuses, the higher chances of the Ruins Treasured Palace appearing.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s beautiful eyes flashed unwillingly.


    ¡°In our generation the bloodlines of geniuses on the whole surpasses the previous generations and the chances of the Ruins Treasured Palace is actually quite high.¡±


    ¡°Dammit, someone entered the Ruins Treasured Palace before us.¡±


    Some of those present gritted their teeth in hatred.


    ¡°Who would the person that entered the Ruins Treasured Palace be? Which one of the Ten True Lords is it? Could it Brother Lu or Zhuang Wan¡¯er from the Moon Demon Palace?¡±


    Ye Yanyu seemed to be unwilling to admit defeat.


    ¡°It¡¯s not Brother Lu or Zhuang Wan¡¯er. They¡¯re still in the normal zone. That person isn¡¯t even one of the Ten True Lords.¡±


    ¡°Who would it be? To actually enter the Ruins Treasured Palace before the Ten True Lords?¡±


    Ye Yanyu was surprised and in disbelief because the Ruins Treasured Palace had appeared many times and had a certain aim.


    For example, a genius that entered had average talent but because was suitable for the Purple Saint Ruins, received its inheritance.


    They had confirmed that the person wasn¡¯t any one of the Ten True Lords.


    ¡°That person might have entered the Ruins Treasured Palace but it¡¯s not like we don¡¯t have a chance.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but interrupt.


    ¡°The Ruins Treasured Palace appears usually once every ten times and after appearing once, it¡¯s chances of appearing again will lower to one percent.¡±


    A girl said with a sullen tone.


    ¡°Ah? Doesn¡¯t this mean we have no fortune with the Ruins Treasured Palace?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t expect this at all. The reason why he entered the Pure Moon Spiritual Sects side was to enter the Ruins Treasured Palace.

 413 Towering Tree Yao

    ¡°That¡¯s right, putting you aside, even we don¡¯t have much of a chance.¡±


    Yu Luo looked at Zhao Feng, not trying to hide the disdain in his eyes and laughed coldly in his heart: The Ruins Treasured Palace looked for someone suitable and those that enter might not receive an inheritance.


    In his eyes, Zhao Feng was just a foreigner who dreamed of entering the Ruins Treasured Palace. It could be said he was a toad trying to eat a swan¡¯s meat.


    ¡°One percent is indeed a bit too low.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured in his heart but then became calm once more.


    If some things were destined to not be his then Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have to get it.


    He had already received a lot of stuff and just the outer edges of the Ruins were better than most inheritances.


    Unwillingness was written on Ye Yanyu¡¯s face as she bit her lips: ¡°I won¡¯t give up even if there¡¯s only a 1% chance.¡±


    The group fell into momentary silence.


    They had all given up on entering the Ruins Treasured Palace; only Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t want to admit defeat.


    Zhao Feng maintained his casual attitude.


    ¡°Everyone¡¯ let¡¯s go.¡±


    Yu Luo started to organize people into groups and send them into different areas as this mysterious canyon had many precious beasts and ancient materials.


    At the same time.


    Sou Sou Sou----


    A dark puff of cloud entered the mysterious canyon and one of them contained a dark and chaotic True Lord Rank aura.


    ¡°Brother Mo Yu!¡±


    ¡°Haha¡­. Our reinforcements have finally arrived.¡±


    Chi Gui and company from the Black Cliff Palace looked up at the sky in joy. The puff of black cloud contained ten figures, each and every one of them was cold and evil. They were the reinforcements of the Black Cliff Palace.


    A youth that looked like a corpse with dark speckles of silver skin floated in the air. He looked like an alive ¡®dead person¡¯ and made the bone of others chill.


    ¡°Mo Yu? That corpse human came!?¡±


    The expressions of the silver robed Yu Luo and company changed to solemness.


    Amongst the ten True Lords, Mo Yu¡¯s ranking was higher than his and Mo Yu was within the top five.


    Apart from Ye Yanyu, no one here was probably his match.


    ¡®Mo Yu¡¯s¡¯ arrival instantly increased the strength of the Black Cliff Palace.


    ¡°Two True Lords are here, so this is all the Black Cliff Palace¡¯s strength?¡±


    A faint smile appeared on Ye Yanyu¡¯s mouth.


    Although the reinforcements from the Black Cliff Palace had arrived, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was still stronger.


    Zhao Feng stood on the mountain and occasionally opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to inspect the mysterious canyon and found that the two True Lords from the Black Cliff Palace ¡®Mo Yu¡¯ and ¡®Chi Gui¡¯ were both trying to team up with the blood robed True Lord of the Moon Demon Palace.


    After all, excluding the Ruins Treasured Palace, this mysterious canyon¡¯s treasures surpassed every other place.


    ¡°Friends of the Moon Demon Palace, our enemy is the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect and right now, only a small half of their force has gathered. We should team up early¡­.¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s hoarse voice made the atmosphere solemn. Mo Yu next to him had a body like a ghost corpse; his face was dry and no expression was seen, but it was obvious he agreed to this proposal.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do it.¡±


    The blood robed True Lord didn¡¯t find this weird. Every time at the late stages of entering the Purple Saint Ruins, the two sects had to team up to try and fight back against the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    After all, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect had reached 2.5 stars and although there was only a 0.5-star difference between them, it was like the difference between the Iron Blood Religion and the Ten Great Clans.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the Moon Demon Palace was close to 2.5 stars and the Black Cliff Palace was a strong two stars sect, they wouldn¡¯t be able to hold the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect back.


    On the other side of the canyon.


    ¡°Go.¡±


    Yu Luo organized the groups and started to search around for treasures. Ye Yanyu still needed to rest for two days to fully recover and would only help other disciples if it was an emergency.


    ¡°Goddess Ye, your cultivation is the highest and is unparalleled in the Ruins. You don¡¯t need me to protect you right?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked to go solo.


    According to the deal, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t leave a three miles radius of Ye Yanyu, but since the Ruins Treasured Palace almost wouldn¡¯t appear again, Zhao Feng had the intention to go alone.


    He was declined decisively by Ye Yanyu.


    ¡°If you want to act, you have to be with me or Brother Yu Luo.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes flashed with coldness as she was still wary of Zhao Feng.


    She knew Zhao Feng¡¯s strength better than the others and wasn¡¯t like Yu Luo and company who completely ignored him.


    Her caution held back Zhao Feng¡¯s plan of going solo.


    ¡°It¡¯s not good to rush.¡±


    Zhao Feng found a cave two miles out and sat within it. While Ye Yanyu was resting, he would use this time to strengthen his dark silver poison corpses.


    ¡°Giant scorpion claws, Deadly Yin Crystal Bone.¡±


    Zhao Feng took out these two main materials.


    He first put the Deadly Yin Crystal Bone onto the dark silver poison corpses and strengthened them. Half a day later, Zhao Feng had ground the Deadly Yin Crystal Bone into powder and merged it with the two dark silver poison corpses.


    Looking at it closely, Zhao Feng saw that the surface of the two poison corpses flashed with a dark silver light. They were precise and pretty, not rough like before.


    ¡°En, the poison corpses¡¯ cultivation, hardness and especially offense have all risen by a bit.¡±


    He nodded his head in satisfaction.


    After that, Zhao Feng put the giant scorpion claws onto the dark silver poison corpses. The process was done in the black lotus and controlled by the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    However, Zhao Feng had to be very careful as they were two strong hidden cards.


    While Zhao Feng did this, he also needed to comprehend the contents of the Six Ghost Corpse Controlling Secret Technique.


    The Six Ghost Corpse Controlling Secret Technique was worthy of being a peak level Spiritual tier skill and it was far more difficult than the lightning inheritance and Mystic Flower Treasured Bible. Although it was just the ¡®upper page¡¯, the contents were profound.


    In the blink of an eye, almost two days had passed and Zhao Feng¡¯s two dark silver poison corpses were weaponized.


    The claws had been exchanged for the giant corpse claws and their sharpness increased dramatically. And they contained the poison from the sack as well as the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom.


    ¡°In terms of offense, my two poison corpses are not much different to Chi Gui¡¯s two True Lord Rank ghost corpses, but with the poison, their damage is higher.¡±


    Zhao Feng was satisfied.


    His poison corpse plan had succeeded.


    When Zhao Feng went out, he realized that the situation within the canyon had undergone a new change.


    Another True Lord Rank from the Moon Demon Palace had arrived - Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er was the same as Ye Yanyu, ranked within the top three True Lord Ranks and around the same level.


    ¡°This demon girl is also here.¡±


    At this point in time, Ye Yanyu had just recovered and found that Zhuang Wan¡¯er had come.


    Zhao Feng was obviously happy to see this because he had more chances in the chaos.


    ¡°We¡¯ll go together.¡±


    Ye Yanyu harrumphed coldly and took Zhao Feng to search around the mysterious canyon.


    In this instance, many places had been dug up, especially where the cave where the giant scorpion was at.


    ¡°Sister Ye, there¡¯s a Towering Tree Yao whose battle power is close to the Origin Core Realm and the Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace are teaming up to attack it.¡±


    News from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect arrived.


    ¡°Towering Tree Yao. The Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace are actually fighting something like that?¡±


    Ye Yanyu was really surprised because there was some terrifying beasts or existences that could even slay True Lord Ranks and this Towering Tree Yao was one of them.


    When they were searching around before, all three sides had found this Towering Tree Yao but didn¡¯t get close due to its terrifying aura.


    ¡°Towering Tree Yao?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. He had found this being a long time ago with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and in reality, there were at least three or four other existences that level in this mysterious canyon.


    The giant scorpion from before could be counted as one, but it was the weakest of the four and at that time, that scorpion only guarded the cave and had its worries. However, even then the three True Lord Ranks found it difficult to win.


    ¡°The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s battle power is ranked second in this mysterious canyon here and is almost comparable to the Origin Core Realm. The strongest existence is in deep sleep underground. No one knows that apart from me.¡±


    Zhao Feng was also surprised.


    In the depths of the canyon was a Towering Tree with hundreds of branches. After tens of thousands of years, it had been filled with Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and turned to a Yao. Its branches were immune to fire and water and even weapons could hardly injure it.


    Hu~ Wu~


    The Towering Tree Yao released a deep growl and a wave of faint green instantly rolled over a four to five miles radius and normal True Spirit Realms would tremble in front of this.


    At the same time, thick roots would shake under the ground and cause earthquakes.


    Zhao Feng saw that the faint green airwave contained an unusual power that could erode the body and piles of white bones could be seen where it went.


    However, this power didn¡¯t injure any tree or tree and instead even replenished them.


    ¡°The power of Wood.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pupils contracted. His Lightning Inheritance finally met its nemesis.


    The power of Lightning was devastating, it countered most skills in the world and was extremely effective against wicked and evil cultivators.


    However, nothing was unparalleled in the world.


    For example, the power of Wood from the Towering Tree Yao perfectly countered lightning. Luckily, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t focus solely on the Dao of Lightning and his true core was the ancient Dao of the Soul.


    ¡°Goddess Ye, why did we need to offend this Towering Tree Yao? What is there to get?¡±


    Zhao Feng showed signs of retreating.


    ¡°The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s body is comparable to an Origin Core Realm and it¡¯s body is full of treasures. Its value is more than ten times that of the giant scorpion. Furthermore, the Towering Tree Yao had already formed a ¡®Wood Spirit Essence Soul¡¯ which can strengthen the soul and it is even useful for those at the Origin Core Realm trying to breakthrough to the Void God Realm. It has an even better effect for us who are at the True Spirit Realm.¡±


    ¡°On top of that, fruits have formed on the Towering Tree Yao and each and every one of them contain the essence of life which have the ability to save lives and increase cultivation like the blood glass fruit. This fruit is also easier to be absorbed¡­.¡±

 414 Zhuang Wan’er

    When mentioning the Towering Tree Yao, even True Lord Ranks were expectant of its treasures.


    The ¡®Wood Spirit Essence Soul¡¯ and ¡®Tree Yao Essence Fruit¡¯ were the most precious materials of the Towering Tree Yao and were even beneficial for those at the Origin Core Realm.


    The Wood Spirit Essence Soul was the core of the tree which was even effective for Sovereigns and greatly useful for those at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°If I got the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, my mental energy level would at least reach the peak of the True Lord Rank level and touch the barrier of the Origin Core Realm. At that time, with my eye bloodline, wouldn¡¯t I be the strongest?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped but thinking about it, it was unrealistic.


    Even if all three sides teamed up, they might not be able to beat the Towering Tree Yao and even if they managed to kill it, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t get the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    Going back a step, even if Zhao Feng got the Wood Spirit Soul Essence, he wouldn¡¯t be able to absorb it without a couple of months or half a year and at that time, the Ruins would have closed.


    Furthermore, this item would be quite wasteful for those under the Origin Core Realm and one needed to be at least at the half step Origin Core Realm to fully utilize it.


    ¡°It¡¯s the essence fruit that can heal injuries and increase cultivation. Similar to the Life Returning Grass and Blood Glass Fruit combined.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye found the Tree Yao Essence Fruit from far away and there were five or six fully formed ones.


    In terms of effectiveness, a Tree Yao Essence Fruit wasn¡¯t as good as the Life Returning Grass or blood glass fruit, but it held both capabilities at once and was easy to be absorbed, not as chaotic as the blood glass fruit.


    However, there was only a total of five or six fully formed Tree Yao Essence Fruits and the number of people from the three parties added up to thirty or forty people, including six True Lord Ranks.


    On average, every True Lord Rank would get one fruit and the stronger ones might be able to get two.


    Sou Sou!


    Ye Yanyu and Zhao Feng soon arrived within a four to five miles radius of where the Towering Tree Yao was at.


    Wu~~


    The Towering Tree Yao hummed lowly and sent a faint green aura across a four to five miles radius and instantly, everything of the essence of nature was replenished whereas the living beings started to melt.


    The faint green aura was a help to nearby forests but it was a poison to those alive.


    Zhao Feng felt his life force starting to drain even just by stepping into the outer boundaries.


    ¡°What a terrifying tree Yao. Normal True Human Ranks probably would die before they even got close.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that he had still underestimated the Towering Tree Yao.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng took out the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus and flew through the air with the petals extended.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng found that the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus had a strong resistance to the faint green aura. The Three Flowered Treasured Lotus was made mostly from nature and was the origin of why it could release the three smells.


    Therefore, the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus had a strong resilience towards the aura and was replenished to a certain degree.


    Ye Yanyu glanced over in surprise and continued without using any items as she faced this aura with ease.


    A glow of moonlight appeared on her skin and made her seem like a goddess that had descended. She seemed extremely pure and holy and made others feel guilty.


    The poison aura which came near to Ye Yanyu was purified by the moonlight.


    ¡°Indeed worthy of being at the late stages of the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    The difference in mental energy level between him and Ye Yanyu wasn¡¯t too big, but the difference in cultivation was too much.


    Ye Yanyu was able to easily travel in the area without using the help of any items.


    ¡°Everyone be careful not to go too close to the Towering Tree Yao.¡±


    ¡°Use the ghost corpses to serve as distractions and don¡¯t land on the ground.¡±


    ¡°Moon Demon Palace, use the Dao of Blood skills to erode the roots of the tree.¡±


    When Ye Yanyu and Zhao Feng arrived, the Moon Demon palace and Black Cliff Palace were discussing how to deal with the Towering Tree Yao.


    Everything within a mile radius was within the Tower Tree Yao¡¯s attack range and there were already four or five bodies lying there already.


    ¡°Sister Ye, you¡¯re finally here.¡±


    Yu Luo and others from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect came over to meet with Ye Yanyu.


    When Yu Luo saw Zhao Feng, his eyebrows furrowed and he murmured: ¡°Why did you bring this rubbish here?¡±


    The two True Lord Ranks and seven or eight other disciples of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect gathered together.


    Their arrival obviously caused the Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Sister Ye, the Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace have already attacked it once but that ended in failure.¡±


    A female disciple told what had happened.


    Zhao Feng listened while he opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to scout out the Towering Tree Yao.


    Firstly, the roots of the Towering Tree Yao were developed and everything within several miles was within its offense range.


    Therefore, people couldn¡¯t stand near the ground or they would become entangled by the tree¡¯s roots and become fertilizers.


    Apart from that, one also couldn¡¯t come close to the Towering Tree Yao.


    The branches of the tree were enormous and a True Lord Rank would probably die if hit head-on unless they had trained in a body strengthening technique.


    The Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace used ¡®spatial tactics¡¯ instead. The geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace would create black mist and the participating geniuses would use the mist as cover and attack the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Ye Yanyu, you came just in time. With the three sides teamed up, we have the chance to beat the Towering Tree Yao.¡±


    A bone-softening voice of a young girl sounded. It seemed to come from a dream and was full of memories.


    The hearts of many men shook. The voice seemed to be able to numb their bones and allow them to forget anything.


    A charming girl rose from the Moon Demon Palace¡¯s side and on her forehead, there was a symbol of a dark moon. Her purple hair blew in the wind like an elf.


    She wore a dress in faint red and revealed a pair of snow white legs. Half of her shoulders were also revealed and her every movement and smile seemed to contain magic.


    It was easy to give the title of ¡°Yao girl or Demon girl¡¯ to someone like this who contained mysteriousness and wickedness within her.


    Without asking, Zhao Feng knew that this was the number one genius of the Moon Demon Palace - Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    Furthermore, she didn¡¯t cultivate the Dao of Blood Moon but the pure power of the Moon Demon.


    Her Moon Demon power was said to be Ye Yanyu¡¯s Purifying Moon power¡¯s polar opposite and their auras were completely different as well.


    At this moment in time, Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s words seemed to contain a mental energy magic that made males fall into momentary stun and become lost in their dreams.


    Most of the people of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect were affected and even Yu Luo of the True Lord Rank was dazed for a second.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    Ye Yanyu harrumphed coldly and her voice broke through that mental energy magic.


    The faces of many males went red as they woke. Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s voice just then contained an indescribable mental energy level that wasn¡¯t solely just charm.


    In that instance, everyone¡¯s desires were magnified. Just by seeing how even Yu Luo at the True Lord Rank was even affected displayed Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s strength.


    Only Zhao Feng and Ye Yanyu weren¡¯t affected.


    Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er were on par with one another and hence it was normal for her to not be affected. But surprisingly, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t affected as well.


    He was like an expressionless mummy that seemed to look at beauty as a pile of white bones.


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er couldn¡¯t help but glance at Zhao Feng in surprise.


    Even True Lord Ranks couldn¡¯t block her ''Sky Demon Charming Voice¡¯ but this True Mystic Rank brat was perfectly fine.


    Ye Yanyu couldn¡¯t look at Zhao Feng with praise. Even Yu Luo and company were charmed by Zhuang Wan¡¯er which made Ye Yanyu feel frustrated. But luckily Zhao Feng helped her regain a breath by being unaffected by Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s ''Sky Demon Charming Voice''. It would be a blow to that demon girl.


    ¡°This girl cultivates the Demon Dao and also specializes in mental energy.¡±


    Zhao Feng faintly inspected Zhuang Wan¡¯er, but didn¡¯t use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye in case he was found out.


    ¡°Cute little brother, what¡¯s your name? What a lovely hair color and your eye bloodline seems to be unique as well¡­..¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er laughed.


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er felt irritated that Zhao Feng could withstand her Sky Demon Charming Voice and she thought that this youth might be too young to understand. But even then, a seventeen-year-old youth should know.


    Zhao Feng maintained his silence, not wanting to connect with Zhuang Wan¡¯er and save some trouble.


    It was already dangerous to connect onto Ye Yanyu. If another demon girl of the same level was added, the results would be unimaginable.


    ¡°Hmph, what a cold attitude. Not even bothering to talk to me.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er used the Sky Demon Charming Voice again with a spoiled attitude and focused mainly on Zhao Feng while the nearby Pure Moon Spiritual Sect disciples again seemed to lose their soul.


    Once again Zhao Feng ignored her and Zhuang Wan¡¯er was shocked but there was nothing he could do. The most important thing right now was to make a pact with Ye Yanyu and deal with the Towering Tree Yao first.


    Zhao Feng stood still and saw Zhuang Wan¡¯er look deeply at him once more as if she was trying to memorize Zhao Feng.


    Yu Luo on the other side was angered. He had just lost his composure to Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s ¡®Sky Demon Charming Voice¡¯ and lost face in front of Goddess Ye.


    If every male was affected, he would feel a bit better, but it was Zhao Feng, a brat at the True Mystic Rank, whose cultivation was much lower than his, that could withstand both attempts from Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    Comparing the two, didn¡¯t this mean Yu Luo didn¡¯t have self-control and couldn¡¯t resist his desires?


    At this moment in time, Yu Luo¡¯s face was going green and he gritted his teeth in hate.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s always together with Ye Yanyu and seems to be praised by her. Hmph, how dare he make me lose face in front of Sister Ye? It¡¯ll be best if I can create an ¡®accident¡¯ while fighting the Towering Tree Yao and kill him¡­.¡±


    Yu Luo¡¯s expression was dark.

 415 Fall of a True Lord Rank

    Zhao Feng remained silent, but he could feel Yu Luo¡¯s killing intent and enmity.


    He shook his head helplessly.


    What could he say? He had done nothing and said nothing to become connected with Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    However, even then, someone else had begun to hate him and that person was a True Lord Rank. He was indeed ¡®innocent¡¯ enough.


    Of course, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t mind this. Yu Luo didn¡¯t put Zhao Feng in his eyes, but did Zhao Feng put him in his eyes?


    At this moment in time, Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er, two chosen ones of Heaven started to discuss how to deal with the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°A total of six True Lords. This force is indeed strong. The Thirteen Countries didn¡¯t even have one.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    Of the ten True Lords, six were present and two of the top three arrived to discuss on how to face the Towering Tree Yao.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t speak up on the battle plan and he wasn¡¯t even interested.


    All he wanted to do was get one Tree Yao Essence Fruit and he would be satisfied at that.


    Soon, the three sides came to an agreement and started to close in on the Towering Tree Yao as they unleashed their attacks.


    Wu~~


    The Towering Tree Yao gave off a low roar and waved its thick branches, sending waves of green poison towards the warriors.


    Apart from that, strong gusts of winds started to blow close to the Towering Tree Yao and they could destroy entire buildings easily.


    ¡°Not good, everyone, block it!¡±


    In the air, the black mist created by the Black Cliff Palace was blown away and some corpses and skeletons were destroyed before even coming to a hundred yards from the Towering Tree Yao.


    Those that hadn¡¯t reached the True Spirit Realm couldn¡¯t even be hit by the remains of the attacks from the Towering Tree Yao and could only serve as cannon fodder.


    Crackk------


    With one sweep of the Towering Tree Yao, more than a dozen corpses and skeletons including some at the True Spirit Realm shattered.


    The branches of the tree were like massive poles to humans and every swing contained power calculated by thousands of tons.


    Even the six True Lord Ranks had to be extremely careful around the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s branches.


    Every swing of the branches would cause winds to blows and send airwaves that made normal True Spirit Realms unable to breathe.


    ¡°The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s battle power is stronger than expected. No one under the Origin Core Realm can face it head-on.¡±


    Zhao Feng sat on the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus mid-air.


    The position where he was at was right outside the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s offensive limit and the roots in the ground couldn¡¯t reach him.


    Soon, Zhao Feng witnessed a peak True Mystic Rank genius accidentally be hit by a wave of air and fall to the ground. He was then tangled up by the roots of the Towering Tree Yao, becoming its fertilizer.


    Even the six True Lord Ranks could only attack in the air from a distance.


    ¡°Humans¡­. You will pay for your ignorance.¡±


    A deep blurry voice resounded across the forest coming from the Towering Tree Yao.


    The Towering Tree Yao had already turned into a Yao. It had its own thoughts and was barely able to speak.


    ¡°This tree Yao has been bathed in the solar and lunar essence for a very long time and its body is comparable to the Origin Core Realm. Don¡¯t fight it head on and wear it out instead.¡±


    Chi Gui warned and carefully controlled a group of ghost corpses to fight the roots of the Tree Yao on the ground.


    The roots of the Tree Yao were extremely strong and even the ghost corpses at the True Human and True Mystic Rank found it hard to chop them up.


    However, the geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace had their own skills and used the air of rotting to erode the roots.


    The blood robed True Lord Rank cultivator used a Blood technique and sent arcs of blood moons towards the roots of the Tree Yao.


    ¡°Blood Demon Corpse Palm!¡±


    A light with the color of blood glowed from the blood robed True Lord Rank cultivator and his flesh started to become dry.


    Pa!


    The attack on the True Lord Rank destroyed a small root in one palm and his power seemed to somewhat counter the Towering Tree Yao.


    Apart from that, Mo Yu from the Black Cliff Palace, whose body was dry and glinted with silver, was actually on the ground fighting the roots.


    ¡°Heavenly Corpse Spirit Slaughter Hand!¡±


    Mo Yu¡¯s skin glowed with silver and his limbs and body started to expand into the size of a small giant.


    With one palm containing the air of death, he sent dark silver flames towards the nearby roots and turned them into a puddle of black water.


    ¡°This guy is a Corpse body strengthener and is strong enough to fight the small roots of the Towering Tree Yao head on.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye looked around and saw Mo Yu, the alive ''dead'' person with the strongest body, fighting the small roots of the outer edges.


    In the air, Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er were like two goddess that sent their devastating attack to clash with the Towering Tree Yao.


    Booom----


    A couple small branches of the Towering Tree Yao cracked. If it was another normal True Lord Rank without the powerful attacks of these two, they wouldn¡¯t be able to break a couple small branches.


    However, after an hour of fighting, the expressions of the two girls became more solemn. The branches they broke were only the ones at the very edges and were nothing to the Towering Tree Yao.


    Ding Ding Peng---


    The two tried to break some bigger ones but only small scratches were left on them.


    ¡°Ding Ding Ding¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng pulled his Luohou Bow from afar and sent his arrows onto the tree but there was no reaction.


    Qiu Qiu Qiu~


    After the three Luohou Arrows returned, Zhao Feng inspected the place with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and only saw a faint mark even smaller than the pinky and couldn¡¯t help but take a cold breath.


    This meant that attacks from normal True Lord Ranks were like flies and mosquitos to the Towering Tree Yao. At most, it would just be uncomfortable but nothing serious would happen.


    Even the strongest attacks from Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er couldn¡¯t harm the Towering Tree Yao.


    The one dealing the most damage was the blood robed True Lord Rank cultivator. His attacks could erode life force and countered the power of nature.


    ¡°Blood Splatter Demonic Land.¡±


    A light of blood radiated from the blood robed True Lord Rank cultivator and it eroded the nearby smaller roots. Wherever the light went, the land seemed to become one with him and continue its path of erosion.


    Although he had only injured the nearby smaller roots that were nothing to the Towering Tree Yao, he was still doing more damage than Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    ¡°The thought of the three Sects is correct. By successfully eroding the roots of the Towering Tree Yao, that can cut off its source of power and weaken it.¡±


    However, Zhao Feng shook his head in regret. He knew this wasn¡¯t effective by inspecting it with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye because the roots of the Towering Tree Yao were very deep into the ground and the furthest one reached ten miles into the ground.


    Destroying the roots was more than a hundred times harder than destroying the branches.


    ¡°Even if another ten or twenty True Lord Ranks came, they wouldn¡¯t be able to finish off the Towering Tree Yao.


    Zhao Feng was sure in his heart. The Towering Tree Yao couldn¡¯t move properly but its offensive and defensive capabilities were around the same as an Origin Core Realm and in terms of life force and body strength, the Towering Tree Yao was much stronger than Sovereigns.


    Right as he was thinking, the situation changed.


    ¡°Ahh!¡±


    A scream came from the ground and looking over, root after root wrapped around the blood robed True Lord Rank.


    Crack!


    The blood robed True Lord Rank was twisted into an unrecognizable shape then sunk into the ground, becoming fertilizer.


    This scene made the hearts of the other disciples present jump and all of them took in cold breaths.


    Even the other five True Lord Ranks were dazed.


    ¡°The roots of the Towering Tree Yao are extremely portable and it instantly moved its roots from other areas to this place to kill the blood robed True Lord in one blow.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold. The Towering Tree Yao was smarter than he thought and it actually knew battle tactics.


    Boom!


    At the same time, a True Lord Rank skeleton that Chi Gui was controlling fell from the sky as it was shattered to pieces by a branch.


    The two accidents happened almost all at once. This meant that in an instant, two True Lord Rank beings had been killed by the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s expression changed.


    After the Moon Demon Palace lost a True Lord Rank genius, Zhuang Wan¡¯er lost her battle intent.


    ¡°Retreat for now.¡±


    The two True Lords of the Black Cliff Palace led their people to retreat.


    The strength that the Towering Tree Yao displayed was too terrifying. It could withstand weapons, fire, and water. Its attacks could even instantly kill True Lord Ranks.


    At this moment in time, the geniuses of the three Sects were all stunned.


    Ye Yanyu and Yu Luo led their group out of the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s offensive range.


    ¡°As I expected.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised at this result. Just like he thought, even if another normal ten or twenty True Lord Ranked cultivators came, they wouldn¡¯t beat the Towering Tree Yao.


    This was like saying dozens of those at the Ascended Realm fighting a True Spirit Realm. The former would lose easily.


    The difference between the True Spirit Realm and Origin Core Realm was also huge.


    ¡°If the Towering Tree Yao had half the speed of an Origin Core Realm, at least ninety percent of the people here would die.¡±


    Zhao Feng became warier of the Origin Core Realm as he knew more.


    Shua!


    His figure flashed and blocked Ye Yanyu¡¯s path


    ¡°Kid, what do you want to do?¡±


    Yu Luo shouted as killing intent flashed in his eyes.


    ¡°What do you want to say?¡±


    Ye Yanyu surveyed this youth in front of her calmly. There was no need for her to be wary with her strength.


    ¡°Actually, everyone¡¯s chain of thought went in the wrong direction before.¡± Zhao Feng said slowly.


    ¡°Oh? Speak.¡±


    Ye Yanyu seemed to be interested, but Yu Luo and company nearby had disdain on their faces.


    ¡°We don¡¯t have to defeat the Towering Tree Yao to get the rewards. It¡¯s like saying there¡¯s a peerless treasure in a well-guarded city. Millions of troops might not be able to take the city down, but a master thief could get the treasure without being injured.¡±

 416 One Arrow to Seal the Resul

    ¡°.... It¡¯s like saying there¡¯s a peerless treasure in a well-guarded city. Millions of troops might not be able to take the city down, but a master thief could get the treasure without being injured.¡±


    When Zhao Feng said this, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up.


    A colorful light flashed in Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes as she looked at Zhao Feng with joy and praise.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s plan wasn¡¯t very smart, but his chain of thought allowed them to get the result with the smallest price.


    The Towering Tree Yao was like a strong fort and even if all the geniuses of the three Sects were here, they would find it hard to defeat the Towering Tree Yao and that would result in more losses.


    However, if their target was just a Tree Yao Essence Fruit, they didn¡¯t need to kill the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Hmph, the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s battle power is comparable to the Origin Core Realm. Who can take a blow head on? Who would be the one to steal the fruit in front of its eyes?What¡¯s the difference between this and sending one to their death?¡±


    Yu Luo mocked.


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s battle power was terrifying and no one could probably take one blow from it. The blood robed True Lord who died before was an example.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly, not retorting back. Although his thought was dangerous, it was ten times easier than attacking the Towering Tree Yao head on.


    Yu Luo didn¡¯t like him and Zhao Feng was too lazy to explain.


    ¡°This might be possible. Although the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s battle power is almost at the Origin Core Realm level, it can¡¯t move and due to its size, it¡¯s clumsy. If we let a fast genius go, there¡¯s a high chance of success.¡± Ye Yanyu smiled and agreed.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, the weak point of the Towering Tree Yao is that it¡¯s big and clumsy. It lacks agility.¡±


    ¡°We can achieve the final result without fighting the Towering Tree Yao head on. Looks like we did think wrong before.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s plan was soon confirmed by the others.


    The geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect weren''t retarded. They just didn¡¯t realize before as they were fighting already, whereas Zhao Feng watched from a spectators view and soon found the problem.


    Zhao Feng believed that even if he didn¡¯t suggest this, the three sects would find the correct path after experiencing some failures.


    Indeed, the Moon Demon Palace didn¡¯t fully retreat and instead watched the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Sister Zhuang, the Towering Tree Yao is big, but us humans are like bugs in front of it. If we let a genius that specializes in speed and agility go, we might be able to steal the Tree Yao Essence Fruit.¡±


    A skinny man from the Moon Demon palace suggested.


    ¡°This could work. Although there¡¯s a certain amount of danger involved, it¡¯s much easier than fighting it head-on.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er nodded her head in agreement.


    Within the forest.


    After the three Sects retreated, a safe distance they started to re-plan.


    The five True Lords of the three sects soon started to talk.


    ¡°The person that goes to steal the fruit must be at the True Lord Rank as only then we¡¯ll have a higher chance. How about all three sides send a True Lord Rank that specializes in speed and the others will distract them.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er suggested and the five True Lord Ranks agreed after some thought.


    Ye Yanyu would be the one from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect. Her strength and cultivation was top tier.


    Chi Gui would be the one from the Black Cliff Palace. Although he wasn¡¯t as strong as Mo Yu, he was faster.


    Only Zhuang Wan¡¯er remained from the Moon Demon palace and even if the blood robed True Lord was alive, she would be the one to go as her speed was even faster than Ye Yanyu¡¯s.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    The three True Lord Ranks flashed through the air and became after images that headed towards the Towering Tree Yao.


    The remaining two True Lord Ranks and geniuses started to attack from the outer edges to attract the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s attention.


    Peng Boom----


    The Towering Tree Yao waved its branches and disturbed the earth, causing sand and stone to fly everywhere.


    However, this time the three True Lords didn¡¯t fight with the Towering Tree Yao and instead utilized their speed to the limit.


    Boom Boom Boom!


    The branches of the Towering Tree Yao could only hit the after images of the True Lord Ranks.


    This scene was like a muscular man waving a swatter trying to hit the flies and mosquitos nearby.


    Although it seemed easy, the hearts of the three True Lord Rank geniuses were tense and every evasion was filled with danger.


    Once they were hit by the branch, even they would become meat patties.


    The geniuses responsible for distraction started to seat.


    ¡°The plan is easy, but it is extremely hard to use. Only those at the True Lord Rank can try or else, the gust of wind by the Towering Tree Yao would blow the others away.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw the situation of the three True Lord Ranks.


    Even when Zhao Feng understood the tactic, he wasn¡¯t willing to try.


    Normal True Spirit realm cultivators couldn¡¯t withstand the wind from the Towering Tree Yao and even if they could, their agility and speed would decrease.


    Only the three True Lord Ranks that specialized in speed and agility could try.


    Time passed by slowly and the three True Lord Rank geniuses started to enter the depths of the Towering Tree Yao.


    A short one hundred yards at this moment seemed to be extremely long. An extra step meant more branches.


    However, as they closed in even more, the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s attacks started to be limited as it was scared to hit itself.


    ¡°We¡¯re almost there.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes were calm as she dodged the branches.


    A Tree Yao Essence Fruit was only dozens of yards away from her now, but these dozens of yards were heavily protected by the Towering Tree Yao, leaving behind only a couple of gaps.


    Ye Yanyu must find the correct path to take the Tree Yao Essence Fruit and retreat unharmed.


    ¡°Sky Moon Nine Slashes!¡±


    A transparent sword appeared in Ye Yanyu¡¯s hand and with a ¡®weng¡¯, eight or nine flashes of moonlight went forward.


    Shu Shu Shu---


    The moonlight stacked upon one another and lit up the area.


    After the third and fourth slash, a small gap had appeared in the smaller branches, allowing her to get closer to the Tree Yao Essence Fruit.


    Miao Miao!


    At the same time, the little thieving cat disappeared as it agilely lept around the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°This cat is incredible!¡±


    The geniuses behind it exclaimed.


    The size of the little thieving cat was too small and the branches of the Towering Tree Yao couldn¡¯t stop it.


    In terms of agility, it was even better than the three True Lord Rank geniuses and it could easily jump through the gaps in the branches.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat surpassed the three True Lord Ranks and appeared in front of a Tree Yao Essence Fruit then chomped down.


    The Tree Yao Essence Fruit was the size of a watermelon, even bigger than the little thieving cat, but the little thieving cat could swallow it in one gulp.


    Zhao Feng and Ye Yanyu weren''t surprised by it.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, I¡¯ll give that fruit to you but you need to help me get another one or two.¡±


    Ye Yanyu turned around to another target.


    ¡°The fruit just then was indeed eaten by the little thieving cat.¡±


    Zhao Feng saw it clearly from far away. The little thieving cat was in its growing stages and the number of treasures it ate was even more than its owner Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I can¡¯t use the little thieving cat again this time in case it raises Ye Yanyu¡¯s suspicion.¡±


    Zhao Feng decided to leave the group and head towards the depths of the Towering Tree Yao.


    Sou---


    He turned into a streak of lightning and used the Three Flowered Treasured Lotus and his speed wasn¡¯t too much slower than the three True Lord Ranks.


    ¡°Brat, what do you want to do?¡±


    The expressions of the geniuses from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect changed as they saw Zhao Feng¡¯s actions.


    One of the girls wanted to stop him but she wasn¡¯t fast enough.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even tell them anything and immediately went forward.


    ¡°This brat is looking for his death.¡±


    Yu Luo snickered.


    ¡°Brother Yu Luo, go stop him!¡±


    A girl nearby who had talked with Zhao Feng felt unwilling.


    Yu Luo was about to decline but thinking about it, he nodded his head: ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll do my best and can help Ye Yanyu as well.¡±


    Sou!


    Yu Luo flew through the air as if he was going to save Zhao Feng but he didn¡¯t use all of his speed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see what this brat is playing.¡±


    Yu Luo was thinking how to kill off Zhao Feng and if Zhao Feng entered the depths of the Towering Tree Yao, it would be certain that he would die.


    ¡°Go, go¡­.¡±


    A playful smile appeared on Yu Luo¡¯s lips.


    However, Zhao Feng stopped at the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s offensive limits and didn¡¯t go one step further.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and his left eye seemed to reflect the entire world.


    In that instant, Zhao Feng saw every leaf and the passage and path of where its Yuan Qi went.


    Zhao Feng saw every small detail and all the possible changes were controlled.


    ¡°With the three True Lord Ranks troubling the Towering Tree Yao, it¡¯ll be much easier for me.¡±


    A surge of calmness and confidence came from Zhao Feng.


    Sou--


    The Luohou Bow in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand suddenly lit up and he quickly pulled out an arrow.


    The arrow¡¯s route was controlled by the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and was perfectly accurate.


    Sou--


    An arrow flashed in the sky that could barely be seen by the naked eye and shot through the gaps amongst the branches.


    Bam!


    The Luohou Arrow shot into the center of the Towering Tree Yao.


    After several turns and twists, the Luohou Arrow passed by the dangers. It was like a small paper boat that could capsize with any blow.


    Tok!


    The Luohou Arrow passed by the barriers and started to dim down as it lost power.


    Shu!


    The second the lightning disappeared, the Luohou Arrow perfectly hit a Tree Yao Essence Fruit but it didn¡¯t harm its flesh or energy.


    ¡°How¡­. did he do this?¡±


    The geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect including Yu Luo stared with wide eyes.

 417 Bait Killing a True Lord Rank

    The geniuses from the three sects that were paying attention to Zhao Feng¡¯s actions were dazed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®arrow¡¯ just then could be considered to be legendary. It was like a fish dodging through the branches of the Towering Tree Yao and found a path of life whenever it seemed to get cornered.


    Any attack from the Towering Tree Yao could destroy those at the True Spirit Realm and in this environment, Zhao Feng¡¯s arrow hit its target.


    Such archery skills could make normal archers look up in awe.


    ¡°Hitting the target isn¡¯t too hard because of my God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, but the true difficulty is not harming the fruit.¡±


    A drop of cold sweat appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s head due to exhaustion.


    If the Tree Yao Essence Fruit was damaged, then Zhao Feng¡¯s arrow would be useless no matter how skillful it was.


    If too much energy was used, the Luohou Arrow would fall down midway and not hit the target.


    On the contrary, if the power of lightning on the arrow was too much, it would destroy the Tree Yao Essence Fruit.


    Zhao Feng had to control everything perfectly and even adjust the Luohou Arrow with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye midway.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath but didn¡¯t retract the Luohou Arrow. As long as Zhao Feng put some energy within the Luohou Bow, he could make the Luohou Arrow come back.


    In theory, because the Luohou Arrow had pierced through Tree Yao Essence Fruit, it would bring back the spoils of war as well.


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s safe way to get Tree Yao Essence Fruits.


    Two factors were needed to make this happen:


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s control and the three Sects needed to distract the Towering Tree Yao.


    Without the three Sect¡¯s help, the Towering Tree Yao would interfere with Zhao Feng midway.


    ¡°Time to get my reward.¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a look of expectation.


    The arrow just then was to aim onto the fruit. Now he needed to get it back. The difficulty of getting the fruit back was slightly easier than before because the first arrow¡¯s power needed to be controlled perfectly. Too much power would destroy the fruit and too little wouldn¡¯t hit the target.


    However, getting the arrow back didn¡¯t have the problems. The Tree Yao Essence Fruit belonged to the Towering Tree Yao and the fruit would be resilient from the attacks from the Towering Tree Yao and instead become replenished.


    ¡°That brat¡¯s trying to¡­. ¡±


    Yu Luo, who was coming up from behind, looked at the Luohou Bow in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand then at the Luohou Arrow and his eyes flashed.


    He suddenly understood Zhao Feng¡¯s mother and son Luohou Bow.


    As long as Zhao Feng put in a bit of Qi of True Spirit, the Luohou Arrow would return and bring the Tree Yao Essence Fruit back with it.


    Everyone else from the three Sects also realized this.


    ¡°That kid¡¯s using this method to take the fruits?¡±


    Some of the geniuses of the three Sects were envious and jealous.


    The life force contained within the Tree Yao Essence Fruit was immense. Just one fruit alone could save someone''s life.


    Said simply, it was the combination of the blood glass fruit and life returning grass and had 50-60% energy from both. It was easy to absorb and could heal some hidden injuries.


    Compared with this, although the blood glass fruit could greatly increase cultivation, it would very likely leave injuries behind and was more suitable for those training the Dao of Blood.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t regret choosing the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom over the blood glass fruit at all and this Tree Yao Essence Fruit was obviously more suitable than the blood glass fruit for him.


    ¡°Back!¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated some Qi of True Spirit to the Luohou Bow.


    Weng~


    A light appeared on the Luohou Arrow as it flew back to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng used the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to make sure it wasn¡¯t hit by the branches and the process was much easier than shooting it across.


    Xiu---


    The Luohou Arrow came back and brought back a Tree Yao Essence Fruit with it.


    \----The reward was here.


    ¡°With this essence fruit, I can quickly break through to the peak True Mystic Rank and then after a while, the True Lord Rank will have no barriers at all.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction. He didn¡¯t need to risk as much as the three True Lord Ranks but was able to get a Tree Yao Essence Fruit as well.


    Right at this moment, a voice appeared from behind: ¡°Zhao Feng, good job, I¡¯ll come help you.¡±


    Sou--


    Joy and killing intent flashed in Yu Luo¡¯s eyes as he charged in.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression went dark and almost starting cursing. His position right now was extremely unique.


    The roots on the ground couldn¡¯t reach him and the branches of the Towering Tree Yao were just too far away.


    This meant that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even need Yu Luo¡¯s ¡®help.¡¯ What Yu Luo wanted to do was extremely obvious.


    ¡°This Yu Luo is so cunning.¡±


    ¡°Aye, such a precious treasures going to Yu Luo now.¡±


    ¡°That brat¡¯s so unlucky. So much hard work gone to nothing.¡±


    The geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace felt regretful and many were thinking why couldn¡¯t they be the ones with this luck.


    The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s side. The geniuses also understood Yu Luo¡¯s intentions and some found this shameless while others were happy to see this.


    ¡°Hehe¡­. The mantis stalks the cicada but behind them lurks the oriole.¡±


    Excitement jumped in Yu Luo¡¯s heart. He followed Zhao Feng because he wanted to get rid of him, but the Heavens seemed to love him and gave him this luck.


    ¡°Kill Zhao Feng, get the fruit and after I absorb it, I¡¯ll be able to reach the late stage True Lord Rank quickly. At that time, Ye Yanyu, that bitch, will have to give me face.¡±


    Yu Luo¡¯s heart overflowed with happiness and raised his speed to the maximum and closed in on Zhao Feng.


    With his early stage True Lord Rank cultivation, it would be extremely easy to kill a True Mystic Rank who came from a village.


    In his eyes, the Tree Yao Essence Fruit was already his.


    Zhao Feng floated in midair, while his expression changed and his thoughts turned. Evading Yu Luo was easy for Zhao Feng but if he did that, it wouldn¡¯t solve the problem.


    ¡°Oh well, right now, the Moon Demon Palace has lost one True Lord Rank and the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect is too strong and might unbalance the situation.¡±


    Zhao Feng made a decision to kill Yu Luo.


    Now was the problem - how would he kill Yu Luo?


    Using Zhao Feng¡¯s hidden cards, it wasn¡¯t hard to kill Yu Luo but the difficulty was how to keep on hiding his strength and make Yu Luo¡¯s death an accident so that no one was suspicious of Zhao Feng.


    Killing a True Lord Rank was already not easy, especially if they had a difference in cultivation.


    On top of this Zhao Feng needed to do it silently.


    Under normal situations, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t even dare think about killing a True Lord Rank before the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°En¡­ that¡¯s it!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up as he came up with a plan.


    Indeed, in normal situations, it would be hard to do so but it wasn¡¯t impossible to put the blame on an accident.


    Sou!


    Zhao Feng flew back towards Yu Luo, not seeming to realize the latter¡¯s killing intent.


    He also put the Luohou Arrow a bit closer to the ground.


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s roots could reach several miles and soon Zhao Feng was only ten yards away from the top of the ground.


    Ten yards was almost in the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s roots attacking range.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t go down any further because he would be attacked by the roots. The Tree Yao Essence Fruit in his hand was like a light in the darkness that would definitely be eyed by the Towering Tree Yao.


    At this moment in time, Yu Luo was only twenty to thirty yards away from Zhao Feng which was a very effective place to attack.


    ¡°Hmph, hillbilly, die....¡±


    Yu Luo¡¯s handsome face was filled with coldness and twisted.


    He raised his hand and a transparent moon blade that was ten to twenty yards long shot towards Zhao Feng.


    Shua Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure suddenly turned into two and he perfectly dodged the moon blade¡¯s attack.


    Two exact Zhao Fengs sped towards the ground.


    Bam!


    With a wave of his hand, Yu Lao destroyed one of the ¡®Zhao Feng¡¯s¡¯ and the other revealed a look of panic, obviously the true body, and sped in the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s direction.


    ¡°Not good, once Zhao Feng is killed by the Towering Tree Yao, the Tree Yao Essence Fruit will also fall.¡±


    Yu Luo¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he chased after Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, on a tree in the forest, an invisible Zhao Feng murmured to himself: ¡°Yu Luo, you must die.¡±


    The invisible Zhao Feng was the true Zhao Feng.


    The one that had revealed a look of panic just then was also the real Zhao Feng, but after he revealed the look of panic, he created a Yin Shadow Doppelganger while his true body became invisible.


    At this point in time, Yu Luo almost caught up to Zhao Feng¡¯s Yin Shadow Doppelganger.


    Eye of Heart!


    Zhao Feng used the Eye of Heart while he was invisible and magnified the greed and desire in Yu Luo¡¯s mind.


    The thing was that Yu Luo¡¯s back was turned to the three Sects and they couldn¡¯t see the change on his face.


    Most importantly, Zhao Feng¡¯s true body was invisible and using the trees as cover, no one saw him.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Yin Shadow Doppelganger dived into a hole in the ground and faded.


    ¡°My Tree Yao Essence Fruit¡­.¡±


    Yu Luo had lost his mind in the infinite desire and greed and under Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®Eye of Heart¡¯, he dived into the hole.


    Bam Bam Bam Shua---


    Dozens of roots reached out through the ground and wrapped themselves around Yu Luo.


    It looked like they had been ready for a while.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The expressions of the geniuses from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect changed.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    Yu Luo howled, but his shout was stopped halfway and he was twisted to death, becoming new ¡®fertiliser.¡¯

 418 Increase in Cultivation

    ¡°Brother Yu Luo!¡±


    The scene in front of their eyes made two females from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect scream.


    The geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace took a deep breath as they were puzzled and surprised.


    ¡°How would Yu Luo get so close to the ground?¡±


    ¡°He was probably filled with greed, lost his mind and accidentally entered the range of the roots.¡±


    ¡°Zhe Zhe, a True Lord Rank was tricked by a fake image. That brat¡¯s cloak is a good item.¡±


    Those from the other two sects were obviously gloating. The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s strength was too strong and even if the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace teamed up, they might not be able to beat them.


    Now that the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect lost a True Lord Rank, their strength decreased and it became more balanced.


    Yu Luo¡¯s death made the geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect unable to accept this, but it had already happened and nothing could be changed.


    ¡°Where did that Zhao Feng go?¡±


    ¡°Did he something in Brother Yu Luo¡¯s death?¡±


    The eyes of two males from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, who had a good relationship with Yu Luo twinkled with suspicion.


    Shua!


    A flash of lightning appeared in the trees.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡±


    The gazes of the three sects landed on Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng pretended to be in a panic and gritted his teeth: ¡°That Yu Luo wanted to kill me and take my Tree Yao Essence Fruit. Did everyone see that? So this is how the righteous Pure Moon Spiritual Sect treat¡¯s its guests?¡±


    Without saying anything else, he started to blame Yu Luo.


    ¡°Where did that Yu Luo go?¡±


    Zhao Feng quickly came close to the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s side. The expressions of those from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect were ugly and the faces of two girls were pale white.


    ¡°Brother Yu Luo¡­ he¡­. He died from the tree.¡±


    One of the girls that was more familiar with Zhao Feng said in a trembling tone.


    ¡°What? Was he killed by the Towering Tree Yao? I only left behind a doppelganger trying to save myself. How could he die?¡±


    Zhao Feng pretended not to understand.When Yu Luo died, Zhao Feng had hidden in the trees and was invisible. No one saw him do anything.


    This was the first point.


    Secondly, Yu Luo¡¯s back was faced towards the people and the change in his expression due to the Eye of Heart wasn¡¯t seen.


    Everyone only thought that Yu Luo had lost his mind and was scared that both Zhao Feng and the Tree Yao Essence Fruit would die together, hence he leaped forwards and forgot about the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s roots.


    Of course, there was still one detail that most people didn¡¯t realize.


    Zhao Feng had taken the Tree Yao Essence Fruit and traveled close to the ground for a while. The Tree Yao Essence Fruit was the essence of the Towering Tree Yao and was like its own ¡®son.¡¯


    When Zhao Feng purposely came close to the ground, the Towering Tree Yao had gathered many roots nearby.


    All of this was seen by Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    As for when Yu Luo had landed, the large number of roots had already gathered there and instantly killed him.


    The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s side. The emotions of some disciples were indescribable as they saw that Zhao Feng still didn¡¯t get what was going on.


    According to logic, Zhao Feng had died to the Towering Tree Yao and Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t even there and instead was the ¡®victim.¡¯


    All of this happened in front of their eyes.


    First of all, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t there. Secondly, he was the victim and thirdly, the difference in cultivation between the two was huge.


    ¡°Hmph, brat named Zhao. Although Brother Yu Luo wasn¡¯t killed by you, you still played a part in it.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. If it weren¡¯t because of you, Brother Yu Luo wouldn¡¯t have died.¡±


    Two disciples who had a good relationship with Yu Luo said fiercely.


    Zhao Feng was instantly speechless. What kind of logic was this?


    ¡°All of you calm down, Zhao Feng¡¯s also a victim. If Brother Yu Luo wasn¡¯t so greedy, he wouldn¡¯t have died.¡±


    One of the girls who was familiar with Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but say and the disciples of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect decided to wait until Ye Yanyu came back to decide how to solve this.


    After all, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was a righteous force and Zhao Feng had a deal with Ye Yanyu.


    ¡°Brat, you better hand over the fruit before Sister Ye comes back or¡­. ¡±


    A peak True Mystic Rank male said as his eyes twinkled trying to conceal the greed.


    With his peak True Mystic Rank cultivation, he had a large chance to break through to the True Lord Rank if he ate the Tree Yao Essence Fruit.


    The gap between the True Mystic Rank and True Lord Rank was enormous.


    Zhao Feng smiled and didn¡¯t bother replying. Instead, he took out the Tree Yao Essence Fruit and started to eat it bite after bite.


    The Tree Yao Essence Fruit was the size of a watermelon and Zhao Feng needed a while to finish it.


    ¡°Tree Yao Essence Fruit. Kid, how dare you¡­.¡±


    The two males, who had a good relationship with Yu Luo, roared and leaped towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hehe, so you two don¡¯t care about Yu Luo¡¯s death but wanted to get the Tree Yao Essence Fruit instead.¡± Zhao Feng said in a mocked tone.


    Die!


    The expressions of the two disciples changed as they attacked.


    One of them sent out a faint moonlight sword, which could pierce through a mountain, while the other summoned a wave of moonlight that could kill a small beast horde.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure disappeared and with a flash of lightning, he appeared on the other side, slowly eating his Tree Yao Essence Fruit.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The two disciples kept on attacking Zhao Feng.


    Shua Shua! Boom Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed and no matter how fierce the attacks from the two were, they couldn¡¯t even touch his clothes.


    Ten breaths later. Zhao Feng finished eating the Tree Yao Essence Fruit. His face was red and an aura full of life radiated from him.


    The two disciples gritted their teeth in hate and puffed in and out.


    They obviously didn¡¯t purposely want to ¡®trouble¡¯ Zhao Feng. Their true aim was the Tree Yao Essence Fruit.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed had reached an incredible level. He toyed around with them and finished eating the Tree Yao Essence Fruit while being chased by the two.


    When Zhao Feng finished eating the Tree Yao Essence Fruit, his strength would rise again and they would have no power to interrupt.


    ¡°The Tree Yao Essence Fruit¡¯s effect is indeed strong.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt himself become filled with life and his whole body become cleansed.


    His mental energy level allowed him to absorb the maximum amount of energy from the Tree Yao Essence Fruit.


    If it were another normal True Mystic Rank, they would waste at least 80% of the Tree Yao Essence Fruit or eat it separately.


    However, to shorten the trouble, Zhao Feng ate all of it at once in front of the people.


    Due to his high mental energy level, Zhao Feng could absorb at least 60% of the Tree Yao Essence Fruit, which allowed him to proceed from the late stage True Mystic Rank to peak True Mystic Rank.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s aura was rising rapidly. His skin was fresh and tender, giving people a feeling he was becoming younger.


    Increase the lifespan and appearance was a side effect the Tree Yao Essence Fruit had.


    The Tree Yao Essence Fruit¡¯s true ability was to increase Zhao Feng¡¯s Yuan Qi.


    Soon, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation started to close in on the peak True Mystic Rank.


    If it were another normal late stage True Mystic Rank, they wouldn¡¯t be able to improve so quickly - even if they had the Tree Yao Essence Fruit.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level had reached the early stage True Lord Rank and was even stronger than normal early stage True Lord¡¯s.


    When one¡¯s mental energy level was high enough, their cultivation would also rise rapidly.


    At this point in time, the three True Lords were trying to come back out from the depths of the Towering Tree Yao.


    Chi Gui from the Black Cliff Palace was rumpled and finally got one Tree Yao Essence Fruit.


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er from the Moon Demon Palace also got a Tree Yao Essence Fruit whereas the little thieving cat and Ye Yanyu both received one Tree Yao Essence Fruit each and the little thieving cat had eaten its one already.


    Yet, leaving the depths of the Towering Tree Yao was harder than entering.


    Wu~


    The Towering Tree Yao roared and its branches swept around, sending terrifying winds everywhere.


    The inside of the Towering Tree Yao was covered in dust and the ground shoot.


    Xiu Xiu Xiu---


    Roots appeared from the ground which formed a net and blocked off the escape route of the three True Lord Ranks.


    The Tree Yao Essence Fruit was like the Towering Yao Tree¡¯s descendants and watching them being stolen in front of its eyes was something it wouldn¡¯t stand for.


    To make the culprits stay behind, the Towering Tree Yao went almost crazy and even destroyed some of its branches and roots.


    This meant that even if the Towering Tree Yao could make the three True Lord Ranks stay behind, it would also be injured. But the angry Towering Tree Yao didn¡¯t care anymore.


    ¡°We only have a shot at life if the three of us team up.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er shouted and circulated her demonic secret technique that almost burned her Qi of True Spirit.


    A weird dark aura surrounded her and devoured every attack from the outside world.


    ¡°What a special secret technique.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and was sure that the field around Zhuang Wan¡¯er could devour any attack under the Origin Core Realm and even normal Origin Core Realm attacks would be weakened by thirty to forty percent.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Moon Demon Palace¡¯s ¡®Demonic Moon Force Field¡¯, which was improvised from the ¡®Heavenly Demon Power Field.¡¯ Its power would double in the moonlight.¡±


    At the same time, Chi Gui and Ye Yanyu both used their secret techniques as their lives depended on it.


    These three True Lord Ranks came from two-star sects and they obviously had their cards if they were able to reach the depths of the Towering Tree Yao.


    Amongst them, Ye Yanyu took out a weird jade slip which she crushed and a moon robed holy goddess appeared from it.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t that our sect¡¯s Saint Moon Aunt Goddess?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a protective item created from experts at the Void God Realm by using their blood essence and Void God Realm materials. It can give Sister Ye one-tenth of Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ defense or one strike.¡±


    The disciples of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect let out a breath.


    After receiving the Void God Protection, Ye Yanyu would be able to stall a while even against those at the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°As expected of a two-star sect. Such methods are unthinkable. It¡¯s hard to imagine how powerful three star and four-star factions will be¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked forward to the future.


    At this moment in time, his Qi of True Spirit broke through a barrier and allowed him to reach the peak True Mystic Rank.

 419 Suspicion

    When the three True Lord Ranks were in a dangerous situation, Zhao Feng had reached the peak True Mystic Rank with the help of the Tree Yao Essence Fruit.


    Because he had eaten the Tree Yao Essence Fruit in a rush, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t able to fully absorb the energy.


    His Source of True Spirit couldn¡¯t expand anymore as it had reached its limit.


    To not waste anything, Zhao Feng sealed part of the Tree Yao Essence Fruit in the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit.


    At the peak of the Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit, it was larger and pure than Zhao Feng¡¯s. However, this Source of True Spirit was on the verge of being used up. But after the life force of the Tree Yao Essence Fruit went into it, it started to recover.


    ¡°The Water Moon Pirate¡¯s Source of True Spirit is not only a second storage. It can also be burnt at critical moments.¡±


    Zhao Feng also knew this was one of his cards, but there was no situation that needed Zhao Feng to burn it yet.


    Burning one¡¯s Source of True Spirit and Qi of True Spirit was different.


    Burning the Qi of True Spirit would increase battle power dramatically and would harm the foundation if it continued for a long time, whereas burning the Source of True Spirit was destroying one¡¯s own cultivation and one paid a heavy price. The increase in battle power would flip over several times.


    If one burnt the Source of True Spirit too fiercely¡­. That was self-destruction.


    After the breakthrough in cultivation Zhao Feng also paid some attention to the three True Lord Ranks.


    ¡°Shameless humans¡­. Stay behind.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao howled in anger and went crazy. It broke some of its own branches and roots to block off these humans that had stolen its ¡®descendants.¡¯


    One had to know that the Towering Tree Yao was almost at the Origin Core Realm¡¯s level and under its insane attacks, it was very likely that it would kill the three True Lord Ranks.


    Amongst them, Ye Yanyu faced the most pressure because she and the little thieving cat took two Tree Yao Essence Fruits and was hated by the Towering Tree Yao the most.


    Luckily, her hidden card was also very strong and was a Void God Protection.


    The moon robed goddess behind Ye Yanyu was her master - Saint Moon Aunt Goddess.


    ¡°If it was a normal Origin Core Realm, my Void God Protection my Void God Protection can severely injure or kill it in one move. But the life force of the Towering Tree Yao is too strong and its roots span for several miles.¡±


    Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t attack straight away.


    The Void God Protection could be used for defense and offense, and it could use one-tenth the strength of a King at the Void God Realm.


    Compared with the latter, defense was safer right now.


    With the Void God Protection, Ye Yanyu could hold her own against the Towering Tree Yao.


    Even the Towering Tree Yao was shocked by the Void God Protection¡¯s aura and its attack weakened a bit.


    Sou Sou--


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er and Chi Gui immediately got close to Ye Yanyu and the three fought their way out.


    Chi Gui also had a card up his sleeve and with an exclaim, he drank a mysterious liquid which made his body give off a dark glow and became light like a ghost.


    With a clench of his teeth, he took out some ghosts from his ghost storage and with howls they were absorbed by Chi Gui¡¯s dark glow.


    This allowed Chi Gui¡¯s body to become more ghost-soul based and physical attacks lost 70% of their original damage.


    ¡°Interesting.¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised and watched with interest. Although he could see some details, he couldn¡¯t understand the process.


    A while later.


    The three True Lord Ranks finally fought their way out. The Towering Tree Yao had paid a huge price but wasn¡¯t able to keep the three True Lord Ranks behind.


    ¡°After all, the forces behind these three True Lord Ranks are two-star sects of which any one of them can sweep across the Azure Flower Continent. Ye Yanyu¡¯s master is even a King at the Void God Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    He might be an overwhelming prodigy in the Azure Flower Continent. But amongst the geniuses who had better resources, skills, inheritances¡­. In every aspect, they were more than a higher level than the Ten Great Clans of the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°Since I¡¯ve already used the Void God Protection, then I might as well use it all.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s face went cold as she turned around and pointed her jade fingers.


    Weng~


    The moon robed goddess behind her which was slightly faded flashed through the air and brought a devastating power with it.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within a hundred miles radius instantly started to gather like the tide and a God seemed to appear.


    ¡°This aura¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped and even his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye trembled.


    In front of this massive Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, the geniuses present felt they were as small as ants.


    Everyone felt a pressure bear down on their soul. Even Zhao Feng¡¯s powerful source of mental energy trembled and was unable to move.


    Boom-----


    A loud boom sounded across the canyon.


    Zhao Feng saw the moon robed goddess figure clash heavily with the Towering Tree Yao.


    The Towering Tree Yao howled in fear and protected itself with its branches as it released a crisp green light that clashed with the Void God Protection.


    Immediately following that, an eye-burning moonlight lit up everything within several miles and sent a blast of airwave across ten miles.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The disciples of the three Sects all used their Qi of True Spirit or secret techniques to shield themselves.


    ¡°What devastating power. Just the remains of it can kill normal True Human Ranks.¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his Qi of True Spirit and formed a layer of lightning around him. However, even then he felt it was hard to block.


    Of the geniuses of the three sects, over half were at the peak True Mystic Rank and they had their own secret techniques or weapons that allowed them to block it.


    The wave lasted for three breaths before weakening and everyone let out a breath and looking up, they saw that everything within ten miles was covered in smoke.


    The blow just then was enough to destroy a small city just then and this was still when the Void God Protection had lost over half its power.


    Under its peak, a blow from it was very likely to slay an Origin Core Realm Sovereign.


    Sou Sou Sou---


    The three True Lord Ranks flew back and gathered back with their respective geniuses.


    ¡°The move just then was enough to injure the Towering Tree Yao, but nowhere enough to kill it.¡± Ye Yanyu murmured to herself.


    The life force and body of the Towering Tree Yao was too strong and its roots were spread across several times with the deepest going down ten miles.


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and saw that one area of the Towering Tree Yao was shattered. Even one side of the Towering Tree Yao was filled with injuries.


    ¡°Although it wasn¡¯t enough to kill the Towering Tree Yao, one side of it is injured and there¡¯s a flaw.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved. The most valuable item of the Towering Tree Yao wasn¡¯t the Tree Yao Fruit Essence but the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    The Wood Spirit Essence Soul could strengthen the soul and it was even beneficial for those at the Origin Core Realm.


    If a cultivator at the True Spirit Realm was able to get the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, reaching the Origin Core Realm was only a matter of time.


    For cultivators of the Dao of Soul, the Wood Spirit Essence Soul was an item from their dreams.


    Zhao Feng obviously knew this, but he knew that he couldn¡¯t get the Wood Spirit Essence Soul alone.


    To get the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, they must kill the Towering Tree Yao. But the Towering Tree Yao could decide to destroy the Wood Spirit Essence Soul before it died.


    At this moment in time, the three True Lord Ranks were injured and had no energy to attack the Towering Tree Yao.


    Amongst them, Chi Gui was the one with the heaviest injuries. The mysterious mist thing that he drank and secret technique that he used turned him into a half solid half void state.


    Even Ye Yanyu, who had the lightest injuries, was more injured than the fight at the cave before.


    ¡°Where did Yu Luo go?¡±


    Ye Yanyu felt something was wrong and the geniuses sadly told the tale of Yu Luo¡¯s death but didn¡¯t purposely blame Zhao Feng.


    After all, all of the geniuses saw how Yu Luo died.


    ¡°With Yu Luo¡¯s personality, it¡¯s possible for him to try and kill Zhao Feng and steal his treasures. But a True Lord Rank was fooled by a doppelganger and went within the range of the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s roots¡­.? Furthermore, Yu Luo isn¡¯t someone that rash.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and only believed half of it.


    Her sharp eyes that seemed to pierce through anything surveyed Zhao Feng. If it was someone who was guilty, they would feel uneasy and any change in their emotions would be seen by Ye Yanyu.


    However, both Zhao Feng¡¯s inner heart and surface emotions was extremely calm and Ye Yanyu could see nothing suspicious.


    ¡°En¡­.¡±


    Ye Yanyu started to think. She felt that Yu Luo¡¯s death wasn¡¯t that simple. Although it was certain Yu Luo wasn¡¯t killed directly by Zhao Feng, the latter might still have a connection to it.


    After all, only Zhao Feng was close to Yu Luo.


    ¡°No one saw Zhao Feng make any move before Yu Luo died and at that time he was invisible¡­. meaning that no one saw him do anything.¡±


    Ye Yanyu started to think and found some suspicious points.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye also saw Ye Yanyu¡¯s change in emotions.


    ¡°This girl is extremely smart and even if the little thieving cat has successfully tricked her, she might still be suspicious.¡±


    Zhao Feng found that although the rewards of his plan were getting bigger, the risk of being found out was also increasing.


    He secretly made the decision that if there wasn¡¯t any bigger fortune, he would sneak away from Ye Yanyu.


    At this point in time.


    Sou Sou Sou----


    From the air came the sound of flying and amongst them was a True Lord Rank aura not much weaker than Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    More than a dozen figures appeared in the clouds.


    ¡°Not good, more reinforcements from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.¡±


    The expressions of the Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace changed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned the figures and this group was even stronger than Yu Luo¡¯s. The leader was a mystic robed youth whose cultivation seemed to have just reached the late stage True Lord Rank not long ago.


    ¡°One of the reasons why I killed Yu Luo before was because the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s strength was too strong and may disrupt the balance. Any now another late-stage True Lord Rank came.¡±

 420 Step after step of danger

    The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was indeed worthy of being a two-and-a-half-star sect that had five of the ten True Lords.


    Zhao Feng knew this and therefore, he killed Yu Luo to balance the three sects out.


    Who would have expected that not much longer after Yu Luo¡¯s death, another True Lord Rank came from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect who was even stronger with the cultivation of the late stage True Lord Rank and most of the reinforcements were at the peak True Mystic Rank?


    ¡°It¡¯s Brother Li Hong!¡±


    ¡°Brother Li Hong must have met some fortune in the Ruins or else how would he have reached the late stage True Lord Rank.¡±


    Envy and joy were written on the faces of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect geniuses.


    Before they entered the Ruins, Li Hong¡¯s ranking amongst the ten True Lord Rank was pretty far behind and even lower than Yu Luo.


    However, after reaching the late stage True Lord Rank, Li Hong¡¯s ranking was close to Zhuang Wan¡¯er and Ye Yanyu¡¯s.


    ¡°Li Hong, you¡¯ve come just in time. We need more people right now.¡±


    Ye Yanyu smiled like a white lotus blossoming.


    At this point in time, everyone¡¯s gazes landed on the mystic robed True Lord Rank, who was Li Hong.


    Li Hong reaching the late stage True Lord Rank and bringing reinforcements boosted the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s morals.


    However, the expressions of those from the Moon Demon palace and Black Cliff Palace was solemn.


    ¡°The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect now has another late-stage True Lord Rank. Will this generation be the same as the previous ones? The Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace suppressed by the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect even when teamed up together?¡±


    Chi Gui murmured to himself as the white light in his eyes dimmed.


    The Moon Demon Palaces¡¯ side.


    ¡°The most troublesome geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect are Ye Yanyu and Lu Tianyi. Lu Tianyi has reached the half step Origin Core Realm and is undefeatable here.¡±


    The dark moon symbol on Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s forehead flashed as her purple hair blew in the wind.


    The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect had two of the three strongest True Lords and Lu Tianyi¡¯s strength was the highest without a doubt. Both Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er weren¡¯t his match.


    The only thing was that Lu Tianyi hadn¡¯t appeared yet.


    The mystic robed Li Hong led his group to meet with Ye Yanyu.


    ¡°Sister Ye, I was attracted here by the Void God Protection and indeed found you guys here.¡±


    Although Li Hong was smug, he was still respectful towards Ye Yanyu. He had just reached the True Lord Rank not long ago and there was still a bit of difference between him and Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    ¡°The Void God Protection¡¯s power is devastating and everyone within a thousand miles radius can sense it. Looks like this canyon will only attract more and more geniuses.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t speak much as he stood in the corner.


    He suddenly felt gloating gazes look towards him. These gazes came from the two male disciples who had good relationships with Yu Luo and they had wanted to take Zhao Feng¡¯s Tree Yao Essence Fruit but didn¡¯t succeed.


    ¡°Hehe, Brother Li Hong¡¯s relationship with Brother Yu Luo was very good. Back then, Brother Yu Luo even helped Li Hong before.¡±


    ¡°Even if Zhao Feng isn¡¯t the culprit, Brother Li Hong won¡¯t give him any good days if he wants to.¡±


    The two male disciples gloated.


    ¡°Brother Li Hong, have you seen Brother Lu?¡± Ye Yanyu said with care.


    Brother Lu.


    The ears of the geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect pricked up as they revealed expressions of admiration and respect.


    Brother Lu was Lu Tianyi, the number one True Lord.


    ¡°The Towering Tree Yao has been injured, but it¡¯s still very hard to kill it. If Brother Lu¡¯s here, we would at least have a 60% chance.¡± Ye Yanyu said.


    She and Brother Lu were similar and liked to travel alone. However the Wood Spirit Essence Soul¡¯s value was too high and the fruit, branches and even skin of the Towering Tree Yao were treasures. It was about the same as killing a beast at the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°I saw Brother Lu a couple days ago and he killed a beast horde, including several True Lord Ranks beast. However, he was pretty unlucky and was pursued by a Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm whom he couldn¡¯t beat and retreated¡­.¡±


    Li Hong sighed and shook his head when Brother Lu was mentioned.


    Lu Tianyi was too high up. Normal True Lord Ranks couldn¡¯t reach his level.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but cluck his tongue when he heard this. What kind of monsters did the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect have?


    Normal True Lord Ranks would run for their lives when they saw an Origin Core Realm and this Lu Tianyi had fought them and was still able to escape.


    ¡°Of course, I also came here to tell you an important piece of information regarding the person that entered the Ruins Treasured Palace.¡±


    Li Hong¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    Ruins Treasured Palace.


    The expressions of those from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect changed.


    Everyone knew that the person that had entered the Ruins Treasured Palace wasn¡¯t any one of the ten True Lord¡¯s and now Li Hong seemed to know something.


    ¡°Who is it? If it¡¯s not one of the ten True Lords, is it someone from one of the smaller clans?¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s face was tight. She was still unwilling to give up.


    The Ruins Treasured Palace was the core of the Purple Saint Ruins and only by entering the Palace would they receive the true inheritance.


    ¡°None of them.¡±


    Li Hong shook his head and spoke in a solemn tone: ¡°You won¡¯t believe what I¡¯m about to saw. The girl that entered the Ruins Treasured Palace doesn¡¯t belong to any of the three sides and might not even be a genius from the Tianlu Islands.¡±


    ¡°What!?¡±


    ¡°How¡­. how is this possible?¡±


    The geniuses from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect shook their heads.


    Even those from the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace nearby didn¡¯t believe this.


    ¡°You mean¡­.. An outsider?¡±


    Ye Yanyu and company¡¯s gazes all landed on Zhao Feng and the latter cursed in his heart.


    Every eye was locked onto Zhao Feng because he was an outsider.


    ¡°Hmm? There¡¯s also one here who doesn¡¯t have the inheritance token of the three sects.¡±


    Li Hong looked at Zhao Feng in surprise.


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. What was going to happen sooner or later was finally revealed.


    Right now, he was using a spectators perspective to get the most amount of rewards he could but danger always accompanied reward.


    Although the little thieving cat¡¯s plan was good, it was also extremely risky.


    However, if it didn¡¯t do this, Zhao Feng would find it hard to even live in the Ruins.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, what¡¯s the relationship between you and the person that entered the inheritance?¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s face went cold.


    Her skin started to glow with moonlight and seemed to be like a goddess that had descended as she released her True Lord Rank aura.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. I was taken here by a mysterious power and was the only person. Oh, and that cat.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head calmly.


    His current situation was very dangerous and was locked on by both Ye Yanyu and Li Hong.


    The three True Lord Ranks from the Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace were also watching closely.


    Ye Yanyu couldn¡¯t help but be slightly disappointed. She had already asked the little thieving cat about Zhao Feng¡¯s situation before.


    Zhao Feng obviously wouldn¡¯t say he was connected to ¡®Zhao Yufei¡¯ or else it would be very troublesome.


    He was almost certain the outsider that entered the Ruins Treasured Palace was Zhao Yufei because the Purple Saint Ruin¡¯s target was ¡®Zhao Yufei¡¯ and Zhao Feng was accidentally taken in.


    ¡°The world is huge and there are many forces. If I can enter by accident, then other geniuses can as well. Maybe the Purple Saint Ruins has changed or it¡¯s broken.¡± Zhao Feng said slowly.


    ¡°What you say is very logical. According to the seniors of the sect, the Purple Saint Ruins¡¯ energy is running out after being here for so long and there may be weak points.¡±


    The mystic robed Li Hong actually agreed with Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng was an ¡®accident¡¯, then there might be more ¡®accidents.¡¯


    In reality, Zhao Feng was directing everyone¡¯s chain of thought.


    As long as he had nothing to do with the girl that entered the Ruins Treasured Palace, then his deal with Ye Yanyu was immovable.


    After all, in this group right now, Ye Yanyu was still the one leading the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    ¡°Looks like I need to split with these people soon or else when Lu Tianyi who¡¯s ranked first arrives, the situation will be out of my control.¡±


    Zhao Feng planned.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng found that the two male disciples who were pretty good with Yu Luo walked up to Li Hong and said something in a low tone.


    ¡°Yu Luo¡­. is dead?¡±


    Li Hong¡¯s heart trembled. This sudden news made him feel as if he had fallen into an abyss.


    Yu Luo was someone who had undergone pain with him together.


    At the beginning, Yu Luo was pretty strong in the Sect and took care of Li Hong who had just entered.


    In a trial, he had even saved Li Hong¡¯s life and the latter was very grateful towards Yu Luo. The two were very close and knowing that Yu Luo had died, Li Hong seemed as if he had been struck by lightning and was dazed.


    ¡°Fuck, looks like all my good luck¡¯s run out. Li Hong and Yu Luo¡¯s relationship is pretty good.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt something was going to go wrong.


    He finally understood why those two looked gloatingly towards him.


    Knowing that Yu Luo had died, Li Hong¡¯s heart seemed to be cut into pieces and he howled towards the sky.


    Of course.


    Being an expert at the True Lord Rank, he soon regained control of his emotions.


    ¡°Talk about the specifics¡­.¡±


    His eyes glanced coldly over Zhao Feng as he started to ask for the details. Knowing that Yu Luo died due to chasing Zhao Feng, Li Hong¡¯s face went cold and his eyes started to go red with killing intent.


    ¡°Brat, I don¡¯t care if you killed Yu Luo or not but if it weren¡¯t because of you, he wouldn¡¯t have died.¡±


    Li Hong¡¯s teeth bit his lips and they started to bleed as his eyes became full of hatred.


    A powerful surge of True Lord Rank aura radiated from him and ripple of blue lightning appeared in the air. The lightning from it was even stronger than Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Inheritance.


    ¡°This Li Hong cultivates the path of lightning and has merged water and lightning together. The skills from his two-star Sect is much more profound than the Lightning Inheritance.¡±


    The more dangerous it was, the calmer Zhao Feng was as his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye became sharper.

 421 Zhao Yufei’s voice

    At this point in time, Li Hong didn''t conceal his killing intent anymore and released his True Lord Rank aura that summoned the lightning and water Yuan Qi nearby.


    This was the first time that Zhao Feng faced a late stage True Lord Rank.


    When he had fought with Ye Yanyu before, the difference was too big and Zhao Feng didn''t use all of his strength.


    Zhao Feng didn''t panic in front of this aura and he looked towards Ye Yanyu. According to the deal, she needed to protect him but right now, she had no signs of doing so.


    Ye Yanyu had her own plans:


    She wanted to use Li Hong to dampen Zhao Feng''s power. Ye Yanyu started to feel as if she couldn''t control Zhao Feng and was unable to see through him anymore.


    Zhao Feng had made a deal after being threatened by her, but he always acted calmly and got the most benefit surviving between the three sects. Not only did he get many treasures, he had also traded with her and the Black Cliff Palace.


    Ye Yanyu had the feeling that she couldn''t fully control Zhao Feng anymore, especially after Zhao Feng got the Tree Yao Essence Fruit and broke through in cultivation, killing Yu Luo as well.


    It wasn''t hard for Zhao Feng to guess Ye Yanyu''s thoughts. If she was just going to watch this, this meant that he had to take care of this himself.


    After entering the Purple Saint Ruins, Zhao Feng relied on his intelligence to survive.


    "Hehe, are the geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect so useless?"


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly with a mocked tone.


    Useless?


    The Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace who were going to watch a show were surprised.


    If the geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect were ''useless'', then what were the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace that was always suppressed by them?


    "Useless? Hillbilly, don''t get cocky."


    "Even if Brother Li Hong didn''t find trouble, we wouldn''t let you go."


    Zhao Feng''s words instantly caused the geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect to be angered.


    He had almost offended everyone from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect in just one sentence.


    "Hahaha, then I''ll ask you, who was the real culprit that killed Yu Luo?"


    Zhao Feng laughed.


    True culprit?


    The geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect paused and many turned towards the Towering Tree Yao.


    "It''s the Tree Yao." Someone instinctively said.


    "Zhe Zhe, if Li Hong and the other two really want to take vengeance, the real culprit is right there. You can go kill it. Why would you have to trouble me, the victim?" Zhao Feng said playfully.


    He purposely emphasized the words ''true culprit'' and ''victim.''


    The true culprit was the Towering Tree Yao and Zhao Feng had been pursued by Yu Luo. He was the victim.


    "Hahaha, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect only bullies the weak and is scared of the strong. Doesn''t this show how useless they are?"


    Zhao Feng laughed towards the sky.


    "You you¡­."


    Li Hong was instantly speechless and the faces of the two male disciples went red and green.


    This even made the faces of the other disciples turn red. They weren''t figuring out how to kill the true culprit but were finding trouble for the victim.


    No matter how you looked at it, it seemed as if they were scared of the strong and bullied only the weak.


    The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was a righteous force that needed to follow justice.


    It was because of this that Zhao Feng worked with the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect and not the Black Cliff Palace or Moon Demon Palace.


    "Hahaha¡­. The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect''s lost all their face. They''re just a bunch of people pretending to be righteous but in reality, they only bully the weak." The disciples of the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace mocked.


    Being their enemy, they didn''t mind hitting the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect when they were down.


    The expressions of the disciples of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect were all extremely ugly and even Ye Yanyu felt that she had lost face: "Brother Li Hong, I have a deal with Zhao Feng. We''ll decide what to do after the Ruins closes."


    Li Hong felt as if he had lost face for everyone and was extremely unwilling.


    "Brat, I''ll only use one move because of Sister Ye."


    Right after he said this, Li Hong flashed towards Zhao Feng and the sudden change made Ye Yanyu''s expression change but she couldn''t stop it in time.


    Li Hong had lost too much face and he obviously wanted to teach Zhao Feng a lesson or even kill him.


    Pa!


    Li Hong''s palm ripple with blue lightning that contained the mobility of water and the destructive power of lightning.


    Because of his perfect control, no one nearby would be harmed.


    "This palm is definitely enough to kill anyone below the True Lord Rank."


    If Zhao Feng used his Three Flowered Treasured Lotus and bloodline power, he could manage to barely take it but he decided to be powerful to the end.


    "Fuck off!"


    Zhao Feng roared as his body released a terrifying aura.


    In that instant, one-tenth of the Water Moon Pirate''s Source of True Spirit started to burn which allowed his battle power to flip several times.


    A normal True Mystic Rank wouldn''t be able to control this power as they level wasn''t enough, but Zhao Feng''s mental energy level had reached the early stage of the True Lord Rank.


    He could control the chaotic power from burning the Source of True Spirit. And the Dark Water Heart and Tree Yao Essence Fruit strengthened his body.


    Booom----


    Zhao Feng''s palm seemed to make a hundred flowers blossom and burn in the sky.


    "He''s burning his Source of True Spirit, everyone watch out!"


    Ye Yanyu flashed and swiped her hands, creating a barrier of moonlight that separated the power between the two.


    Peng!


    A deep hole was created on the ground and extended up to ten yards before being blocked by Ye Yanyu.


    If the power wasn''t so concentrated, everything within a mile would be flattened.


    Many disciples from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect were sent flying by the wave of air and in the dust, a figure landed next to Ye Yanyu with a smile.


    "Kid, you''re going to die----"


    Li Hong''s angry voice sounded from within the dust. Li Hong was extremely ruffled and his hair and clothes were dirty.


    The disciples of the three Sects were all stunned.


    It seemed like Zhao Feng had gained the upper hand just then. Although Li Hong wasn''t injured, he looked ruffled as if he had been tricked.


    "Stop!" Ye Yanyu exclaimed coldly and sent a ripple of moonlight that pushed back Li Hong several yards.


    "Sister Ye, you''re protecting an outsider!?"


    Li Hong''s eyes were bright red as he gritted his teeth, but he was extremely wary of Ye Yanyu''s strength even if the latter was injured.


    Zhao Feng stood next to Ye Yanyu and was certain that she wouldn''t do anything.


    Firstly, Ye Yanyu had said that she was working with Zhao Feng and warned Li Hong.


    Li Hong attacking Zhao Feng was not giving her face.


    Secondly, Li Hong had said only ''one move'' but didn''t stick to his promise, making the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect lose more face.


    It could be said that in just a short while, Li Hong had lost almost all of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect''s face and even Ye Yanyu couldn''t stand it any longer.


    "Do you think you haven''t lost enough face?" Ye Yanyu said coldly.


    "I¡­."


    Li Hong seemed to realize his rashness. He had indeed used one move already and went against Ye Yanyu by doing so.


    At this moment in time, the disciples from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect felt as if there was no light on their faces.


    Li Hong was full of frustration.


    "If you have the time, you should instead think about how to deal with the Towering Tree Yao. That way we can avenge Brother Yu Luo and get rewards at the same time." Ye Yanyu said.


    "Sister Ye, you''re right. The most important thing right now is to kill the real culprit. As for this brat, I''ll see him after the ruins close.''


    Li Hong finally calmed down.


    He had already used one move and if he continued, it would only make the others laugh at him.


    This chaos finally settled.


    "This blue haired youth¡­. Is not simple."


    Zhuang Wan''er from the Moon Demon Palace looked at the youth next to Ye Yanyu. Ye Yanyu also glanced at Zhao Feng. The Source of True Spirit he just burned was obviously different from his own.


    Li Hong''s move didn''t go to waste. At least, he uncovered one of Zhao Feng''s hidden cards.


    Zhao Feng had another Source of True Spirit within his body and although it wasn''t at the True Lord Rank, it had reached the peak True Mystic Rank and if Zhao Feng burnt it without caring for the price, it could threaten those at the True Lord Rank.


    "I said before that this youth wasn''t simple. No wonder he wasn''t scared when trading with us."


    Chi Gui''s expression was solemn and felt lucky that he didn''t attack Zhao Feng before.


    "Li Hong just then had only casually used a move and was tricked by me."


    Zhao Feng''s mind was calm.


    Soon, the geniuses of the three Sects gathered together once more and started to discuss how to deal with the Towering Tree Yao.


    The Towering Tree Yao had been injured by the Void God Protection and there was a gap in it now.


    Zhao Feng yawned as he lost interest.


    Even if they killed the Towering Tree Yao, he wouldn''t get the Wood Spirit Essence Soul unless he wanted to become the enemy of all three sects.


    At this moment in time.


    "Brother Zhao Feng."


    A familiar voice from a girl sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    Who was it!?


    Zhao Feng jumped up in fright. This voice was very familiar. It seemed to be¡­. Zhao Yufei.


    But why would Zhao Yufei''s voice appear in his mind?


    In the next instant.


    Shua!


    A blurry figure appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind and it was Zhao Yufei.


    The Zhao Yufei in his mind smiled faintly: "Brother Zhao Feng, I''m the inheritor to the Purple Saint Ruins, but I might need your help to truly control the Ruins."

 422 Purple Saint Partial Spiri

    In the limitless ocean.


    This was a very large space and the sea seemed to extend into eternity.


    In the distance, a large mountain stood out amongst misty ocean and it took up several hundred miles.


    There was an elegant and noble building on the mountain and the most eye-catching point was the arena and floating spectator stands.


    In terms of size, this was ten times bigger than the Sacred True Dragon Gathering''s ancient arena.


    At this point in time, a large screen that seemed to be made of water appeared in front of the mountain.


    The size and quality of the screen was far better than the inheritance shadowings of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, but there was only one and within it were some clear pictures could be seen.


    The pictures seemed to come from another dimension but they looked extremely real and one of the pictures was of a mysterious canyon which included the Towering Tree Yao and nearby small figures of people.


    There were several powerful auras near the mountain, but all of them were dead silent.


    In the sky, three immeasurable ''powers'' seemed to suppress the ghosts and gods of this land.


    There was no terrifying aura or burst of Yuan Qi, but a pressure from the soul that pressured thoughts and the mind.


    In front of these three ''powers'', even the Yuan Qi nearby seemed to be frozen.


    The people on the mountain looked up to the source of these three powers like looking up to a God.


    Two were male and one was female.


    They were respectively:


    A golden skeleton with an air of death that sat on a throne made of white bones. A pure and holy female who seemed like a Goddess of the Stars and Moon. A god of the Demonic Dao with black air surrounding him as if they were black holes.


    These three ''powers'' looked like three gods that ruled the world.


    "The Purple Saint Ruins has lost energy dozens of times more than before and there are already several places with weak points already."


    The pure and holy moon robed female''s voice seemed to be like a swan''s.


    "Zhe Zhe, Saint Moon Aunt Goddess, looks like the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect is also planning on taking the Purple Saint Ruins for themselves." The golden skeleton said in a deep tone.


    "The last time I checked, the energy within the Purple Saint Ruins could sustain it for another hundred years, but now it can only sustain it for twenty. If the three Sects teamed up, we might be able to enter." The demonic male said in a dominant tone.


    Attack the Purple Saint Ruins.


    The expressions of the other two powers changed and they were slightly moved. But they were obviously filled with more wariness.


    The hearts of some of the experts below who heard this thumped.


    The Purple Saint Ruins was ranked highly amongst other inheritances and its original owner was one step away from the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    For most forces, just to be able to send their people inside to receive the inheritances was a rare opportunity.


    Only the three two-star Sects had the ability to even attack the Purple Saint Ruins.


    The Purple Saint Ruins was a spatial dimension that contained precious resources, rare beasts, and powerful inheritances. Its value was immeasurable.


    If a certain sect was able to control the Purple Saint Ruins, it would be hard to imagine how strong they would become.


    "It''s not hard for to attack the Purple Saint Ruins with the three sects combined. But as long as the Purple Saint Partial Spirit is there, we can''t do anything."


    The holy face of the moon robed female was decisive and amongst the three, she was the strongest.


    "Although the Purple Night Saint Lord''s partial spirits power has lost more than 90% of its power after all these millenniums and its control of the ruins is weakening, it has merged with the core of the ruins and can destroy it with a thought."


    Hearing this, the golden skeleton and demonic man went silent.


    Although the three Sects could break through the Purple Saint Ruins, it wasn''t worth it. After all, the owner was once the ''Purple Night Saint Lord'', who had shocked thousands of clans.


    "Then what does Aunt Goddess suggest?" The golden skeleton asked.


    "Although we can''t attack, we can try to increase the speed of the partial spirit losing its energy. In tens of years or even shorter, the partial spirit will run out of energy and then we can enter safely." The moon robed female smiled and said.


    The golden skeleton and demonic man faintly nodded their heads.


    The Purple Saint Ruins couldn''t be forcefully attacked. They could only wear it down and this required patience.


    Tens of years for them was the time it took them to enter seclusion once.


    "But this time, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit seems to have realized its ending will come soon and used some method to open a path and connect with another place."


    Worry appeared on the moon robed female''s forehead.


    "You''re worried¡­. that the Purple Saint Partial Spirit used a lot of energy to choose an inheritor?" The golden skeleton said.


    "That''s right. Right now it seems as if one or two outsiders have entered the Ruins. One has to know that because our ancestors had some relationship with the Purple Night Saint Lord that we were allowed within the Ruins."


    The moon robed female nodded her head.


    "Aye, it''s been so long but isn''t there any genius at all that the Purple Saint Partial Spirit wants to take over the ruins?"


    The demonic man shook his head impatiently.


    The three sects had a long history and the number of prodigies that they produced was countless.


    "Apparently, the Purple Night Saint Lord had a faint bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and her requirement for an inheritor would probably also need the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races."


    "Ten Thousand Ancient Races? Are you joking? From the ancient era to now, how would such a legendary bloodline appear so easily? In the past ten thousand years, we''ve only heard of one and no one knew what happened to him/her¡­."


    "That''s right, the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines are all forbidden bloodlines that defy the heavens. For example, the Heaven''s Legacy Race of the Heaven''s Legacy Inheritance split into countless branches that spread across the world. Apparently, the Light Race ranked 7th in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races was the incarnation of light and when someone from the Light Race died, they would make the area they were in speed by up thousands of years¡­."


    When the three mentioned the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, they were all respectful.


    Even the famous Purple Night Saint Lord only had a faint Ten Thousand Ancient Race bloodline.


    Purple Saint Ruins, within the mysterious canyon.


    The geniuses from the three Sects were discussing how to attack the Towering Tree Yao.


    There was a total of five True Lord Ranks and dozens of True Mystic Ranks.


    However, Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan''er, who were the strongest were injured.


    "If Brother Lu Tianyi arrived, our chance of killing the Towering Tree Yao will increase greatly. We can wait for him and send people to find him." Ye Yanyu suggested.


    She had used the Void God Protection before and with Lu Tianyi''s cultivation, he would be able to sense it if he wasn''t too far away.


    "Hmph, everyone''s senses are restricted in the Purple Saint Ruins and Lu Tianyi hasn''t appeared for a long time. Maybe he''s restricted by some kind of inheritance."


    "Lu Tianyi''s probably already entered the Ruins Treasured Palace. We can''t wait for long."


    The Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace both immediately retorted.


    Lu Tianyi was too strong and if he arrived, the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace could only stand to the side.


    "Why don''t we rest half a day and those injured and recover? If Brother Lu has sensed the Void God Protection, he can definitely arrive within half a day. In this time, Brother Li Hong and the other uninjured True Lords can test out the Towering Tree Yao."


    Ye Yanyu suggested and the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace agreed.


    After all, Zhuang Wan''er and Chi Gui were both severely injured and needed to rest.


    While the three were talking, Zhao Yufei''s voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind and her image became clearer and clearer.


    "That''s so cool. Your voice and appearance can appear in my mind."


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but admire.


    "Hehe, I have Sister Purple Night''s help, but unfortunately her power is getting weaker and weaker especially since she forcefully connected to the Azure Flower area. Now she can''t fully control the ruins or she could''ve let Brother Zhao Feng into the Ruins Treasured Palace with just a thought."


    Zhao Yufei smiled and said with some worry.


    Zhao Feng knew the rough situation of the Purple Saint Ruins.


    "Although the original owner of the Ruins had fallen long ago, there was still a will from her soul that remained behind, which was the Purple Saint Partial Spirit."


    The Sister Purple Night that Zhao Yufei talked about should be the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    "What can I do to help?"


    Zhao Feng got straight to the point.


    If Zhao Yufei became the inheritor to the Purple Saint Ruins, Zhao Feng would also benefit. The two came from the same family and their relationship was always good.


    "Firstly, Sister Purple Night has lost too much power. She needs to help me become the inheritor and she has lost almost all control of the dimension. The only advantage we have is that we can see everywhere in the Ruins."


    Zhao Yufei paused for a moment as if waiting for Zhao Feng to digest this.


    "Oh? Then doesn''t this mean that we can know every secret in the Ruins?"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes lit up.


    "Yes, but right now there''s a problem. The canyon where Brother Zhao Feng is at is one of the Ruins'' sources of energy and one of the weak points. Once the Towering Tree Yao is slain, this weak point will become more obvious and form a flaw. If the flaw is big enough, the experts of the outside world can enter the ruins and disrupt my inheritance."

 423 Zhao Feng’s Mission

    ¡°.........Once the Towering Tree Yao is slain, this weak point will become more obvious and form a flaw. If the flaw is big enough, the experts of the outside world can enter the ruins and disrupt my inheritance.¡±


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became to grow solemn.


    ¡°You want me to¡­. Stop the disciples of the three Sects attacking the Towering Tree Yao?¡±


    He couldn¡¯t help but take a light breath.


    After the Towering Tree Yao was injured by the Void God Protection, it had left an obvious flaw and the disciples of the three sects were bent on taking it down.


    If Zhao Feng wanted to stop them, he had to fight against them.


    ¡°It¡¯s not realistic for Brother Zhao Feng alone, but Sister Purple Night will try her best to make the Ruins Treasured Palace descend. It will be able to protect the Towering Tree Yao and give Zhao Feng a chance to receive an inheritance.¡±


    Zhao Yufei explained and this made Zhao Feng let out a small breath.


    He didn¡¯t think that this mysterious canyon was one of the ruins sources of power and was that important.


    Once the Towering Tree Yao was slain, the loss of power would increase and a major flaw may appear.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng only needs to stall the three Sects until the Ruins Treasured Palace descends.¡±


    Zhao Yufei added.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. His only job was to support. If it could be completed, that¡¯d be best but if it couldn¡¯t be, done there was nothing he could do.


    The main force was the Ruins Treasured Palace.


    Once the Ruins Treasured Palace descended Zhao Feng would be able to touch the core of the Purple Saint Ruins and might even get his own inheritance. With Zhao Yufei¡¯s help, Zhao Feng¡¯s chance would be much higher than the others.


    ¡°When will the Ruins Treasured Palace descend?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°At least several hours and at most a day and a half.¡±


    Zhao Yufei responded.


    In his mind, after talking with Zhao Yufei, Zhao Feng understood the Purple Saint Ruin¡¯s situation better.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit, which controlled the Purple Saint Ruins was about to die and the purpose of its existence was to find an inheritor.


    However, it hadn¡¯t found an inheritor from the beginning of its existence and as it was coming to its end, it faintly sensed a candidate.


    Therefore, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit used the remaining will to cast its inheritance shadowing to the Azure Flower area and because its ranking was quite high and wasn¡¯t like the Heavens Legacy Inheritance that only descended part of its inheritance, it faced a great force.


    Luckily, the Purple Saint Ruin¡¯s power was similar to Zhao Yufei¡¯s and was able to descend.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, you can ask for what you want and Sister Purple Night will do her best to satisfy you.¡± Zhao Yufei suddenly said.


    Zhao Feng went silent. The Purple Saint Partial Spirit had almost lost full control of the ruins or else, it could send away the disciples of the three sects with just one thought. Obviously, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit was dying and it had lost a lot of its original abilities.


    ¡°Can it take off the restrictions on my senses?¡± Zhao Feng asked for something that was realistic.


    ¡°It can.¡±


    Zhao Yufei replied after a while.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng felt his mental energy become light and the restriction from the ruins disappear.


    He couldn¡¯t help but be overfilled with joy. Without the restriction of the ruins on his mental energy, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s full capabilities could be used.


    This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s senses were extremely strong and were even stronger than those at the Origin Core Realm in the ruins.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye caught a wisp of invisible power entering his mental energy dimension.


    Inspect.


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and locked onto this invisible power.


    Shua!


    In the next moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye seemed to see through obstacles.


    There was a purple dressed girl sitting in an elegant building trying to refine a crystal key in front of her.


    Next to her was a faint woman who could destroy countries with her looks. Although her body wasn¡¯t physical and consisted of purple light, her every action and smile contained a superior nobility.


    ¡°Hehe, without the restrictions of the ruins, everything''s different.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly.


    Through his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he traced the invisible power into the Ruins Treasured Palace and saw this scene.


    He realized, that with the rise in his mental energy, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye became more useful.


    The purple-dressed girl was obviously Zhao Yufei and the faint figure next to her was without a doubt the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    ¡°How¡­ is this possible!?¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    More accurately, at the ¡®Eye of Heaven¡¯ above but the latter disappeared with a ¡®Shua,¡¯ as if it was never there.


    The mysterious canyon.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind returned back to his body. He had traced the energy back to the other side, mainly to see how Zhao Yufei was.


    It was certain that Zhao Yufei wasn¡¯t threatened, but instead, she was receiving her inheritance.


    Zhao Feng was over-cautious and hence used this. He didn¡¯t realize how shocked the Purple Saint Partial Spirit was when she saw this.


    Shua!


    In his mind, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s figure appeared next to Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°What else is there?¡±


    Zhao Feng relaxed after making sure Zhao Yufei was safe.


    ¡°Your eye¡­.¡± The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said.


    What?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart soon moved. The original owner of the ruins was once a master at the Mystic Light Realm and her knowledge was definitely not simple.


    Maybe she knew the source of the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng was expectant of what the Purple Saint Partial Spirit was going to say next.


    ¡°I only have a small portion of the memories I had when I was alive. If I was alive right now, I would probably be able to see the source of your eye.¡±


    However, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit furrowed her eyebrows and said something useless, making Zhao Feng speechless.


    ¡°Although your bloodline isn¡¯t of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, your eye is definitely connected with the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said with joy.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel much after hearing this. He didn¡¯t even know what the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were.


    What Zhao Feng cared about was whether there was an inheritance that suited him in the Ruins Treasured Palace.


    ¡°Unfortunately, there¡¯s no suitable inheritance for your eye bloodline. You¡¯re more suited for the Ancient Dao of the Soul or the inheritances of the Eight Great God Eyes. Of course, going back a step the Ruins Treasured Palace does have lightning based skills or inheritances regarding your ice bloodline.¡± The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said regretfully.


    ¡°At least there is something.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    He didn¡¯t find a truly suitable inheritance in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. But luckily this time, there were lightning inheritances in the Purple Saint Ruins or ice elemental inheritances that suited his bloodline.


    Zhao Feng was already satisfied with this. If he could help Zhao Yufei become the inheritor of the ruins, then Zhao Feng¡¯s benefits would be much greater than expected.


    A while later, Zhao Feng understood enough and cut the connection with Zhao Yufei and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    ¡°Right now, all I need to do is wait for the Ruins Treasured Palace and stall for time so that the Towering Tree Yao isn¡¯t killed.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Currently, Li Hong was the disciple of the three Sects who was going to attack the Towering Tree Yao and test it out.


    Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er were both using this time to recover and the True Lords attacking were only Li Hong and Mo Yu from the Black Cliff Palace.


    The two True Lord Ranks led twenty to thirty disciples and attacked the gap in the Towering Tree Yao time after time.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. This Towering Tree Yao isn¡¯t as powerful as I imagined.¡±


    Li Hong sent a barrage of attacks and the front and ripples of lightning and water exploded on the branches of the Towering Tree Yao.


    The disciples behind also unleashed their skills.


    ¡°The Void God Protection created a gap for the disciples and in this area, there are almost no branches. The Towering Tree Yao can only stand there and be hit.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as his face grew solemn.


    It wasn¡¯t that Li Hong was strong and had a good leadership. It was just that the opponent was weakened.


    The Void God Protection¡¯s attack was too powerful and had cleared a path for the three sects.


    Looking closely, Zhao Feng saw that the main body of the Towering Tree Yao had appeared and there were many scorch marks on it.


    Peng Peng Boom----


    Continuous attacks came from the three sects and landed on the main body of the Towering Tree Yao.


    Luckily, the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s defense was extremely strong and this place was where the defense was the most powerful.


    Although Li Hong was at the late stage True Lord Rank and his offense seemed powerful, his attacks of water and lightning were still restricted by the power of wood and grass.


    However, if one place was attacked continuously, ants would still kill an elephant and finally threaten the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°I can¡¯t just sit here.¡±


    Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng moved.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    Ye Yanyu suddenly opened her eyes and stared coldly at him.


    ¡°I¡¯m very sorry for Yu Luo¡¯s death. I would like to help the fellow Daoists of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect kill the Towering Tree Yao, even if I¡¯m not very strong.¡±


    Zhao Feng swore.


    Hearing this, Ye Yanyu¡¯s face became suspicious. She didn¡¯t believe Zhao Feng had such a good heart.


    This guy survived between the cracks of the three sects and never lost anything.


    Would he help the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect for free?


    ¡°Fine, you can go but don¡¯t forget to not leave within three miles of me.¡± Ye Yanyu agreed.


    After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s suggestion was righteous and was willing to test the Towering Tree Yao. She couldn¡¯t decline him.


    Secretly, Ye Yanyu told people to tell Li Hong to watch out for Zhao Feng.


    ¡°You guys also pay attention to him¡­¡±


    Ye Yanyu ordered another one or two people.


    As they interacted more often, Ye Yanyu found that Zhao Feng was very hard to control and she couldn¡¯t see what the latter¡¯s motives were.

 424 A Wolf Wearing the Skin of a Sheep

    The second Zhao Feng moved, he was spotted by several geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    Sou Sou!


    The two male disciples that had an enmity with Zhao Feng moved to his left and right as they ¡®protected¡¯ Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Thanks.¡±


    Zhao Feng gave off a comforted look and Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes twinkled as she watched Zhao Feng¡¯s figure move further and further away.


    She felt uneasy and this uneasiness increased as Zhao Feng got further away.


    Even since Yu Luo¡¯s death, Ye Yanyu was instinctively wary and cautious of Zhao Feng.


    At this point in time, all her attention was gathered on Zhao Feng and the blue haired figure became more and more mysterious.


    As if sensing something, the blue haired youth turned around and smiled at her while looking at her in the eye.


    The mysterious left eye seemed to full of limitless ice and it could see through all her secrets.


    In that instance, Ye Yanyu¡¯s heart shook and a coldness extended throughout her body as if she had been seen naked.


    Zhao Feng looked deeply at Ye Yanyu once more before closing in on where the others were attacking the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Brother Li Hong, quickly kill Zhao Feng!¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s heart jumped as her eyes flashed coldly and an urgent voice sounded.


    What? Kill Zhao Feng?


    Most disciples of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect looked at Ye Yanyu with puzzled looks. Weren¡¯t the two working together?


    Before Ye Yanyu was protecting Zhao Feng, and now she wanted to kill him?


    The sudden change caused many people to be dumbfounded.


    However, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was led by Ye Yanyu and they all listened to her.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    The two males next to Zhao Feng roared with excitement as they attacked.


    ¡°Hahaha, Sister Ye, you¡¯ve finally thought it through. This brat doesn¡¯t suit my eye.¡±


    Li Hong laughed as he turned around and charged towards Zhao Feng.


    Although he didn¡¯t understand why Ye Yanyu was doing this, he was definitely willing.


    In reality, Ye Yanyu gave this order due to her ¡®instincts.¡¯


    Thinking back to how Zhao Feng was first threatened then to how he used her to protect himself and survive amongst the three sects, she could see the situation clearly even if she didn¡¯t fully understand it.


    Firstly, Ye Yanyu couldn''t see Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength and his intelligence made her feel as if she was losing control.


    There was another major point. No matter who Zhao Feng¡¯s enemies were, they didn¡¯t end well, even if their cultivation was higher.


    Yu Luo died as he became Zhao Feng¡¯s enemy. The two male disciples had been made fools of by Zhao Feng. Li Hong had wanted to kill Zhao Feng but he was tricked and lost face instead.


    At this moment in time, Ye Yanyu suddenly became wary when Zhao Feng asked to help Li Hong and company and because of his last glance.


    She was extremely decisive and the second she felt something was off, she ordered them to kill Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This woman¡¯s instincts are extremely sharp. After Yu Luo¡¯s death, she was already suspicious.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t think that Ye Yanyu would be so quick to act. She was indeed fierce.


    ¡°Brat, surrender quickly!¡±


    The two male disciples lept towards Zhao Feng from his left and right.


    Looking down, Zhao Feng saw that he was already within range of the roots.


    ¡°Stall him!¡±


    Ye Yanyu ordered as she flew over as well.


    She knew that Zhao Feng was very fast and stronger than the two male disciples. The only thing that they could do right now was to stall Zhao Feng and win a couple breaths time for Ye Yanyu and Li Hong.


    The expressions of the two male disciples became solemn as they listened to Ye Yanyu¡¯s command and tried to stall Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth was filled with mockery and a coldness as if he was looking down on ants.


    Plop Plop!


    The two male disciples fell down from the sky. Before their bodies even touched the ground roots shot out from the ground and wrapped the two.


    ¡°Argghhh!¡±


    Two screams came to an end as they became new fertilizers for the Towering Tree Yao.


    The present geniuses widened their eyes.


    What the hell just happened?


    How would two peak True Mystic rank cultivators just fall into the ground?


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do anything at all, all he did was just ¡®look¡¯ at them.


    ¡°Mental energy eye technique. With just one glance, he made them fall down.¡±


    Chi Gui, who was resting, exclaimed as he saw the truth.


    Sii!


    The pursuing geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect all took a deep breath.


    ¡®Zhao Feng, you killed two of our Pure Moon Spiritual Sect disciples and Yu Luo was indeed killed by you¡­. You hid deep enough.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s face was cold and the killing intent from her seemed to materialize.


    Even a normal True Lord Rank couldn¡¯t make two peak True Mystic Ranks die instantly with one glance.


    Zhao Feng had hidden deep and was a wolf covered in sheepskin.


    ¡®Brat, it looks like you¡¯re the true culprit behind Yu Luo¡¯s death. Don¡¯t even think about running. Give me your life----¡±


    Li Hong¡¯s eyes were bright red and killing intent filled his face as his eyes bulged out.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body flashed with lightning and he seemed like the God of Lightning as his Yin Shadow Cloak flapped as his speed jumped up.


    In terms of speed, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t much slower than Li Hong of the late stage True Lord Rank.


    Shua Shua!


    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng turned into more than a dozen figures. Some of them were illusions while others were Yin Shadow Doppelgangers.


    When Li Hong arrived, the figures had all gone in different directions and Zhao Feng¡¯s true body was concealed in the forest.


    ¡®He actually ran away¡­.¡±


    Li Hong¡¯s face became twisted under his immense killing intent.


    Shua!


    A faint figure of Zhao Feng suddenly appeared near the ground as ran off.


    ¡°Bastard, die----¡±


    Li Hong released his anger and rage and he leapt towards Zhao Feng.


    In this instant, all of his emotions had been released and he forgot about the danger on the ground.


    As Li Hong was going closer and closer to the ground, the roots below started to get ready.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is Li Hong doing the same as Yu Luo before and charging towards the ground?¡±


    ¡°Yu Luo was filled with greed and Li Hong lost his mind due to his anger.¡±


    The spectating disciples of the three Sects felt something was wrong.


    ¡°Li Hong, watch out!¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s expression changed drastically as she yelled.


    Her voice was like thunder as it boomed in Li Hong¡¯s mind.


    Break!


    Ye Yanyu waved her hand and a beam of moonlight rushed through the air and destroyed the figure of Zhao Feng.


    It was only a Yin Shadow doppelganger.


    Li Hong awoke from his dream and realized that he was extremely close to the ground and almost within range of the roots.


    Qiu Qiu Qiu!


    The roots broke through the earth and shot towards Li Hong.


    Li Hong roared and sent beams of water and lightning as his figure turned into an arc of lightning that pushed aside the roots and flew into the skies.


    At the last moment, Li Hong had used a secret technique to escape.


    ¡°So close!¡±


    Li Hong who had just escaped death was covered in cold sweat.


    ¡°Unfortunate¡­. Just missed this opportunity.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt slightly regretful as he stood on the ground.


    His Eye of Heart was about to trick Li Hong but it was disabled by Ye Yanyu.


    In that instance when Li Hong was filled with rage, a flaw had appeared in his heart and Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heart took advantage of it. If Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t arrive in time, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect would have lost a late stage True lord Rank genius.


    The weird thing was that Zhao Feng stood on the ground but he didn¡¯t receive any attacks from the Towering Tree Yao.


    Ye Yanyu coldly locked onto where Zhao Feng stood. Her state of heart, as well as other abilities, were obviously stronger than Li Hong¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng understood how terrifying Ye Yanyu was and so he continued to travel towards the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t he being attacked by the Towering Tree Yao?¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyebrows furrowed but she didn¡¯t pursue Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was within the attack range of the Towering Tree Yao but he wasn¡¯t attacked by it. No one else had this special ¡®right.¡¯


    Ceng Ceng Sou!


    Zhao Feng continuously jumped and landed on the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s branches.


    ¡°What the heck¡­. Why isn¡¯t the Towering Tree Yao attacking him?¡±


    ¡°This guy¡¯s not just weird.¡±


    The geniuses of the three sects stared with bulging eyes as they watched Zhao Feng walk easily among the branches of the Towering Tree Yao.


    The Towering Tree Yao seemed to ignore his existence.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng landed in the inner areas of the Towering Tree Yao and nodded his head faintly: ¡°Towering Tree Yao, let us fight together.¡±


    Hu~


    The branches of the Towering Tree Yao rattled as it spoke through mental energy.


    ¡°When Lord Purple Saint said that there were reinforcements, I thought it would at least be a True Lord Rank. Aye, but it looks like it¡¯s just you.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao was somewhat disappointed.


    ¡°Hehe, Towering Tree Yao, if I can help you beat this group of people and help you recover by half, how will you repay me?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    The Towering Tree Yao obviously didn¡¯t think of its reinforcement much. However, this was normal as Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was not high enough. Only those at the True Lord Rank or higher would enter the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s eye.


    ¡°There¡¯s five True lord Ranks and dozens of True Mystic Ranks. You think you can beat them alone and help me recover by half? Junior, you overestimate yourself and underestimate the power of the Void God Protection.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao said.


    ¡°Stop.¡±


    Zhao Feng interrupted the Towering Tree Yao: ¡°If I really do this, can you let me cultivate a bit with your Wood Spirit Essence Soul?¡±


    ¡°Hmph, if you really can do it and help me through this, what¡¯s wrong with me letting you cultivate using my origin Wood Spirit Essence Soul?¡± The Towering Tree Yao agreed instantly.

 425 Ten True Lords

    Zhao Feng and the Towering Tree Yao soon came to an agreement.


    In the forests, Ye Yanyu, Li Hong and Mo Yu from the Black Cliff Palace surveyed the Towering Tree Yao.


    "Zhao Feng actually successfully teamed up with the Towering Tree Yao."


    Li Hong gritted his teeth. After just passing by the doors of death, his back was drenched in cold sweat and the geniuses of the three sects all found the change in the situation.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng stood on the Towering Tree Yao''s branches but the latter was calm and didn''t attack him.


    "This person''s been planning it for a long time and is a wolf hiding in sheepskin. Several disciples of the sect were killed by him, including Yu Luo at the True Lord Rank. If it weren''t for my fast reactions, Brother Li Hong probably would have¡­.."


    Ye Yanyu''s face was filled with killing intent and her chest heaved.


    Ever since entering the Purple Saint Ruins, no one had ever made her so mad that she wanted to kill them herself.


    From the start, Ye Yanyu seemed to be threatening Zhao Feng but in reality, she was his biggest ''umbrella.''


    If it weren''t for Ye Yanyu, Zhao Feng, an outsider wouldn''t be able to walk steadily and gain benefits amongst the three sects.


    "If it wasn''t because of me, Yu Luo and them wouldn''t have died¡­.."


    Ye Yanyu felt guilty and humiliated. Her jade hands were clenched together and her teeth almost pierced her lips.


    However, her heart was strong and she soon calmed down.


    Ye Yanyu knew that facing Zhao Feng who specialized in mental energy, any flaw in the mind would result in being used.


    "Goddess Ye, before you came, the Wicked Teeth three almost all died at this person''s hands. He even escaped Chi Gui''s tracking skill without being injured." Mo Yu said solemnly.


    He had heard Chi Gui talk about Zhao Feng.


    "Sister Ye, how would you be used by the brat with your intelligence?"


    Li Hong took a deep breath and said in dissatisfaction. If it weren''t for her protecting Zhao Feng, the latter would find it hard to live so well.


    "This is my fault but relax, I will kill him myself." Ye Yanyu said coldly.


    At the same time, she started to think abouth ow she fell into Zhao Feng''s plan?


    In a spark, she realized the key point which was the most critical part of this plan or else Ye Yanyu wouldn''t have been used.


    ''Little¡­. Thieving¡­. Cat!"


    Ye Yanyu''s figure trembled as she spat out word by word.


    This was the weirdest part of the plan. Zhao Feng didn''t even know Ye Yanyu before he met her. If the two didn''t know each other, why would Zhao Feng trick her?


    The true key point was the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat met Ye Yanyu and purposely led her to it''s ''original owner'' and seemed to threaten him.


    "Little thieving cat!"


    Ye Yanyu coldly spread her spiritual sense to detect the little thieving cat.


    However, no matter where her spiritual sense went, through clothes and interspatial rings, she couldn''t find any trace of it.


    Miao Miao!


    A dark silver grey cat slightly bigger than a palm stood on Zhao Feng''s shoulder.


    The human and cat accompanied one another as if they were one.


    "Little thieving cat, your plan was dangerous but the rewards are pretty good¡­."


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and stroked the little thieving cat''s ears.


    Miao Miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and made several actions, signaling the bitterness it had faced. Immediately following that, the little thieving cat spat out a part of the Life Returning Grass onto Zhao Feng''s hand.


    "My Life Returning Grass, little thieving cat, how dare you steal it¡­."


    Ye Yanyu''s face went green and red. Her eyes were enough to kill people. With her quiet and calm attitude, she had never been so angry before.


    "The little thieving cat still places great importance on emotions and only stole one part of the Life Returning Grass or why would your interspatial rings still have stuff? En, it also told me not to kill you."


    Zhao Feng shook his head. Although the little thieving cat had tricked Ye Yanyu, it had only stolen a Life Returning Grass and completed what Zhao Feng asked for.


    After all, Ye Yanyu was pretty nice to the little thieving cat.


    ''I don''t need its pity. I will kill this brat myself. Little thieving cat, I don''t blame you as we all have different sides."


    Ye Yanyu''s eyes became warmer when it landed on the little thieving cat.


    When the two had paired up, the little thieving cat had given her a lot of luck and joyful times.


    Miao Miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws again and seemed to ask her to do something.


    "What¡­. You want me and him to¡­. That''s impossible!"


    Ye Yanyu''s face went red and she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Although no one else understood, Zhao Feng still knew what the little thieving cat meant.


    "Get in there."


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly threw the little thieving cat into the Spiritual Pet Bag by grabbing its ears.


    After that, he didn''t bother with Ye Yanyu and company anymore and took out the life Returning Grass which he gave to the Towering Tree Yao.


    ''This is the Life Returning Grass. I believe I''ve completed half of my promise."


    Zhao Feng said.


    "Life Returning Grass."


    The Towering Tree Yao was surprised and took it with a gust of green wind.


    Its main trunk opened like a mouth and it ate the Life Returning Grass. The Life Returning Grass was indeed worthy of being a legendary treasure. Even the damage caused by Void God Protection started to heal.


    "Kid, it looks like I''ve underestimated you. The Life Returning Grass is enough to heal half my injuries but the other half of the deal is that you need to push back these geniuses, which isn''t that easy."


    The Towering Tree Yao laughed.


    Zhao Feng stood on the branches of the tree as his blue hair blew gently in the wind.


    He didn''t move at all and seemed to be part of the Towering Tree Yao.


    Only defend, don''t attack. This was Zhao Feng''s plan.


    The Towering Tree Yao was Zhao Feng''s biggest protection and they had the advantage in the landscape.


    The three sects didn''t attack straight away. Maybe it was because Zhao Feng''s ''sudden betrayal'' brought too much shock to the three sects.


    The five True Lords, Ye Yanyu, Zhuang Wan''er, Li Hong, Chi Gui and Mo Yu got together and started to talk.


    "Amongst the True Lords, Chi Gui specializes in eye skills and we hope you can give it your all in the upcoming battle." Ye Yanyu suggested.


    Amongst the geniuses that entered the Ruins, Chi Gui''s eye bloodline could be said to be among the best.


    Back at the cave, his secret technique had even injured Ye Yanyu.


    "This brat''s eye bloodline is strong but he hasn''t reached the True Lord Rank in the end and I have confidence in an eye bloodline faceoff. However, I''ve still injured from using the forbidden skill before and I''m not 100% certain¡­."


    Chi Gui cried bitterly in his heart. In reality, he was asking the other two sects for treasures.


    Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan''er looked at each other before taking out some treasures from their interspatial items.


    These were enough to help Chi Gui recover.


    "Thank you for all your help. Let me heal up a bit and then my Black Wicked Eye will be able to battle that brat."


    Chi Gui''s voice was raspy and the white flames in his eyes seemed to twist as a dot appeared in the middle.


    Everyone was expectant of him as they had all experienced it. Even if it wasn''t able to beat Zhao Feng, it could still gain the upper hand.


    They foresaw a great battle between the ''Eye bloodlines.''


    "I''m looking forward to this as well."


    Zhao Feng stood in the tree and none of the actions of the three sects escaped his God''s Spiritual Eye.


    Chi Gui''s Black Wicked Eye was extremely powerful and Zhao Feng had experienced it personally when Chi Gui used the Dark Lantern Ghost Eye, which almost forced Zhao Feng into desperation.


    If it weren''t for the fact that Zhao Feng didn''t care about the price and finally destroyed the Dark Lantern Ghost Eye, he probably wouldn''t be able to escape.


    If it was before, Zhao Feng didn''t feel confident to face Chi Gui''s eye bloodline head on as their difference in cultivation was too big.


    However, Zhao Feng had grown rapidly in the ruins and his God''s Spiritual Eye became more powerful.


    Sou Sou Sou----


    The sound of flying came again and the air was filled with wickedness.


    "Great, our Moon Demon Palace''s reinforcements are finally here."


    The geniuses of the Moon Demon Palace exclaimed.


    The group from the Moon Demon Palace arrived and the leader was a bald man with black armor whose cultivation had reached the True Lord Rank.


    Now the number of True Lord Ranks had reached six.


    This wasn''t the end. Another hour later, more reinforcements arrived. Some were from the three sects while others were from the one-star clans under them.


    As time passed, more and more geniuses started to gather in the mysterious canyon.


    All of this was because of Ye Yanyu''s Void God Protection which allowed everyone within a thousand miles to feel it.


    "There''s already over¡­. A hundred geniuses here." Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    Two hours later. The number of True Lord Rank cultivators present had reached ten.


    Amongst them, two or three had broken through to the True Lord Rank in the Purple Saint Ruins.


    After all, there was a large number of peak True Mystic Rank geniuses and it wasn''t surprising for a couple to break through to the True Lord Rank in the ruins.


    "Ten True Lord ranks, a hundred geniuses, all of them not weaker than an overwhelming prodigy of the Azure Flower Continent¡­. Luckily, that Lu Tianyi hasn''t arrived. I told the Purple Saint Partial Spirit to give him some trouble."


    Zhao Feng''s heart wasn''t calm. It was hard to imagine what kind of battle there was going to be.


    The nervousness and trembling due to tension from the Towering Tree Yao couldn''t escape Zhao Feng''s senses.


    Indeed.


    If there weren''t any accidents, with the Towering Tree Yao''s current state, it would perish within a maximum of two hours.

 426 Black Wicked Eye

    Mysterious canyon, within the forests.


    The ten True Lord Rank auras spread across the sky and made clouds turn. The air was filled with different elements and colours.


    At this point in time.


    The forces of the three sects had reached a hundred people, far stronger than before.


    ¡°Human, looks like the second half of your promise will be hard to complete. I can¡¯t escape this.¡±


    The sad voice of the Towering Tree Yao sounded next to Zhao Feng¡¯s ears.


    Under normal situations, even if there was twice the number of True Lord Ranks present, they couldn¡¯t finish off the Towering Tree Yao.


    However, the Towering Tree Yao had been injured by the Void God Protection and a massive hole had appeared.


    There was no protection where the hole was, and it hadn¡¯t healed.


    This meant that the geniuses of the three sects could attack the Towering Tree Yao freely and because of this gap the Towering Tree Yao could only be hit and do nothing. Even a true Origin Core Realm expert wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand this.


    Zhao Feng perched on the trees and was expressionless: ¡°It¡¯s indeed a bit more troublesome than I thought.¡±


    Compared with the Towering Tree, Yao Zhao Feng was calmer.


    ¡°Human, do you have any plans? What do I need to do?¡±


    Maybe because of Zhao Feng¡¯s calmness, the Towering Tree Yao saw a ray of hope.


    Although the Towering Tree Yao was strong, it could only sit there and be attacked.


    Therefore, all of its hope landed on Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Wait for them to come over.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to explain too much.


    He opened the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and inspected the ten true Lords.


    With the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye every True Lord¡¯s situation, element of their skill, state of health etc appeared in front of him.


    ¡°Of the ten True Lords, three are at the late stage True Lord Rank, four early stage True Lord rank and three beginning stage True Lord Ranks.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    The only ones that Zhao Feng was wary of were Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have the any confidence to fight any one of them head on.


    Of course, right now it wasn¡¯t a problem of single combat anymore.


    Zhao Feng was facing all of them.


    It¡¯s starting!


    Sou Sou Sou Sou----


    The ten True Lord Rank geniuses led the hundred True Spirit Realms and headed towards the gap of the Towering Tree Yao.


    The gap¡¯s protection was destroyed by the Void God Protection, leaving behind only the main trunk that wasn¡¯t fully healed yet.


    ¡°Attack!¡±


    The ten True Lord Ranks all sent long range attacks and skills towards the trunk of the Towering Tree Yao.


    When one reached the True Lord Rank, they could attack the target from a hundred yards away.


    Peng Peng Boom---- the main trunk of the Towering Tree Yao took the brunt of the attacks head on and its branches rattled. Behind the ten True Lords were more True Spirit Realm geniuses whose power could destroy a small force straight away.


    There was no tactic, no strategy, but overwhelming numbers.


    Luckily, the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s body was extremely strong and could take damage from the ten True Lord Ranks and a hundred True Spirit Realms head on for a while.


    ¡°Human, quickly think of something. I can only stand here and be hit and will die within two hours.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s tone was urgent.


    ¡°Do these people think that I¡¯m non-existent?¡±


    Zhao Feng perched on the branch and watched the barrage of attacks from the three sects silently.


    He soon understood the intention of the three sects. As long as they slew the Towering Tree Yao, Zhao Feng would lose his protection. At that time, wouldn¡¯t he be easily captured?


    Therefore, if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do anything, the ten True Lord Ranks would do nothing as well.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye suddenly opened, and his left eye seemed to radiate ice.


    Shua!


    The hearts of some True Spirit Realm experts shook.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡®Hand over the Wood Spirit Essence soul!¡±


    ¡°Arghhh¡­. Senior brother! Why¡­ did you attack me!!?¡±


    Chaos broke out amongst the group. Some True Spirit Realms suddenly lost control of their emotion and attacked the people next to them.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Blood flew everywhere as several disciples from the three sects were killed by those next to them.


    Eye of heart!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye faintly scanned over the group.


    In just a short while, four to five geniuses from the three sects were controlled by Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heart and attacked those next to them.


    ¡°Everyone watch out!¡±


    The three sects panicked, and everyone only cared for themselves.


    No one under the True Lord Rank could block Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heart and in just one glance, their emotions were controlled.


    Facing those would could ¡®betray¡¯ them at any second, how would the disciples have the heart to attack the Towering Tree Yao?


    ¡®Eye of Illusion!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks didn¡¯t stop and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye continued scanning.


    Plop Plop!


    Two disciples from the three sects fell from the skies and landed close to the earth.


    Shuuuu------


    Roots broke out of the earth and dragged these geniuses into the ground as they became new fertilisers.


    The group of the three sects became more chaotic.


    ¡°Chi Gui, if you may.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes flashed as she turned towards Chi Gui.


    Chi Gui was the one that specialised in eye bloodline techniques the best amongst the Ten True Lords.


    ¡°Leave him to me!¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s harrumphed coldly as the ring on his nose flew through the air.


    When Zhao Feng used his bloodline, Chi Gui was watching.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s bloodline is more based towards mental energy. Before I finish him, no one without soul protective items go close. Those with cultivation lower than the peak True Mystic Rank should stay away.¡±


    Chi Gui ordered and after this was said the ten True Lord Ranks started to organise themselves.


    Over two thirds of the people retreated, and the remaining geniuses¡¯ cultivation had reached the peak True Mystic Rank or had good soul protective items.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng was going to attack but he suddenly felt a cold and wicked aura enter his soul.


    Black Wicked Eye!


    Chi Gui¡¯s eyes flashed with a white flame as a mysterious dark dot appeared in the centre of his eye.


    The two looked at each other and the Black Wicked Eye faced the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Outsider¡­. Let me see how strong your eye bloodline is!¡±


    Chi Gui licked his lips as battle intent surged in his eyes.


    Thinking about how his eye bloodline had lost to the opponent before, his heart was filled with unwillingness and desire to truly battle.


    And now this chance was finally here.


    Black Wicked Eye vs God¡¯s Spiritual Eye!


    A clash of eye bloodlines!


    Peng!


    The dot of Chi Gui¡¯s Black Wicked Eye suddenly shook and in the next instant an invisible bridge seemed to extend from him to Zhao Feng.


    The disciples of the three sects didn¡¯t understand what was going on.


    The ¡®ghost bridge¡¯ crushed onto Zhao Feng and the latter felt a wicked air travel over from the bridge. His body started to go cold as the power belonging to the Black Wicked Eye crashed onto him.


    A normal expert¡¯s soul would probably be destroyed by this terrifying air of evilness and become a shell that had no thoughts.


    Shua!


    A white ghost claw suddenly shot out from the bridge towards Zhao Feng. This large claw was enough to envelop an entire room and Zhao Feng¡¯s body had been locked on by the ghost bridge, meaning that he couldn¡¯t dodge.


    ¡°To be able to reach so deep in a bloodline. Indeed, worthy of a two-star sect.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and inspected Chi Gui¡¯s skill.


    Through the Black Wicked Eye, Chi Gui reached a limit on how to use the air of evilness and his methods were hard to fend against.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated the ice pond within his mind and clashed with the power from the ghost bridge.


    The God¡¯s spiritual Eye contained a power that seemed to be able to shock ghosts and gods and a coldness that seeped straight to the bone was released.


    The ghost claw was instantly pushed aside by the simplest way and almost faded. The ghost bridge started to shake and become unstable.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Chi Gui gently tapped his ghost bag and from it out came dozens of brutal ghosts. Some were in the shapes of humans while others were in the shape of beasts and their auras were released.


    A part of these ghost merged into the bridge and the ghost bridge became more stable and realistic.


    Another portion of the ghosts howled under the ghost bridge¡¯s power and turned into a white flame that burned towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Using outside help to increase his eye bloodline technique.¡±


    Zhao Feng learnt something now. To defeat Zhao Feng, Chi Gui had made many requirements of the other sects and the other disciples of the Black Cliff Palace gave him many resources.


    Chi Gui could be said to be well prepared to battle Zhao Feng.


    Wu~


    With the merging of nearly a hundred ghosts, Chi Gui¡¯s Black Wicked Eye¡¯s attack became fiercer.


    ¡®Zhe zhe zhe, Brother Chi Gui¡¯s Black Wicked Eye¡¯s and methods are uncountable.¡±


    ¡°Even Ye Yanyu that bitch was injured by the Black Wicked Eye.¡¯


    The geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace laughed smugly.


    The other nine True Lord Ranks were also satisfied with this situation.


    ¡®Looks like even if Chi Gui can¡¯t win that brat will be suppressed. This means that we can attack safely.¡±


    The True Lords nodded their heads.


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes flashed: ¡°Chi Gui indeed didn¡¯t disappoint us. But to be safe, we¡¯ll send two True Lord Ranks to support Chi Gui and if it¡¯s done well, we may even slay him.¡±


    Unknowingly, she felt uneasy about Chi Gui¡¯s battle with Zhao Feng.


    Maybe Zhao Feng¡¯s calculations towards her and his mysterious had left a deep impression on her.


    Sou! Sou!


    Another two True lords of the nine remaining True Lord Ranks went to support Chi Gui.

 427 Double Kill

    When Zhao Feng and Chi Gui fought each other with their eye bloodlines, two other True Lords came over to help.


    A total of three true Lord Ranks faced Zhao Feng.


    ¡°A measly True Mystic Rank brat can die without regret after fighting three true Lord Ranks at once.¡±


    One of the True Lord Rank females said. Her skin seemed to be made of snow and she spoke in a mocked tone.


    She was one of the two True Lord Ranks supporting Chi Gui and came from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect and one of the lucky ones to break through to the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Sister Gong, don¡¯t underestimate him. Someone who is able to make Chi Gui fight and be placed of great importance by Sister Ye isn¡¯t simple. Brother Yu Luo is an example.¡±


    The other early stage True Lord Rank black faced youth warned.


    ¡°Brother Yu Luo was once one of the three handsome mens of the Sect and I had loved him for many years but was too scared to tell him. Now that I¡¯ve reached the True Lord Rank I had the chance to be his¡­. But unfortunately this dream was shattered.¡±


    Tears flashed in the girl¡¯s eyes which was soon replaced by cold killing intent.


    She wouldn¡¯t pass the chance to kill Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I can¡¯t drag it out any longer.¡±


    Zhao Feng saw the arrival of the two True Lord Ranks out of the corner of his eyes.


    At this point in time a ghastly white flame had burned to almost Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    This flame could burn flesh and lifeforce and even erode the soul. It was extremely troublesome.


    Chi Gui¡¯s usage of bloodlines made expanded Zhao Feng¡¯s eye level.


    Under normal situations Zhao Feng would definitely fight with Chi Gui longer as he could learn many things.


    However, the situation right now was different.


    The Towering Tree Yao wouldn¡¯t survive if this dragged out by more than 2 hours and Zhao Feng faced the threat of other True Lord Ranks.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    A transparent glow of lightning and fire sparkled in Zhao Feng¡¯s eye.


    Whoosh!


    An azure ball of lightning flames instantly crashed onto the ghost bridge and screams came from within the white flames started to extinguish.


    ¡°An eye skill attack with the elements of lightning and fire¡­.¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s heart shook as a destructive aura extended across the ghost bridge and hit his Black Wicked Eye.


    Weng~~


    The ghost bridge consisting of countless ghosts started to shake and fade.


    Large amounts of ghosts started to smoke from the terrifying power of lightning and fire.


    In that instance, Chi Gui¡¯s soul seemed to be hit by lightning and fire.


    Boom!


    Immediately following that was the second round of Lightning Fire God¡¯s eye which focused more on Chi Gui himself.


    Crack!


    The ghost bridge instantly broke.


    ¡°Ghost God breaking through the Void!¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s Black Wicked eye spun and a sudden dark beam shot out which managed to block the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye.


    The dark beam was extremely mysterious and could block physical as well as mental energy attacks.


    Boom Boom Boom!!


    The Lightning Fire God¡¯s eye was pierced through by Chi Gui and one third of the beam still continued to shoot towards Zhao Feng and its speed was the as fast as the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye.


    ¡°En, this dark beam¡­¡­ condenses all the power into one straight line for the most direct attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye started to reach its maximum capabilities and in terms of thinking Zhao Feng was several times faster than the dark beam. This was the power the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye gave him.


    God¡¯s Spiritual Eye - Copy!


    The blue light in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye glowed and within the dimension of his left eye, the freezing pond started to ripple.


    Qiuu----


    A ray of cold light shot out from the left eye which clashed with Chi Gui¡¯s dark beam.


    Chi Gui¡¯s dark beam was first frozen before being shattered.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? It¡¯s the same secret skill as mine but with a different element¡­..¡±


    Chi Gui was stunned.


    He had watched his Ghost God breaking through the Void be destroyed by his own skill.


    Qiu--


    The remaining lightning fire on Chi Gui hadn¡¯t been extinguished and the cold ray of light still had half of its power remaining as it landed on his body.


    A chilling coldness instantly froze his flesh and soul.


    Chi Gui hiccuped and understood the meaning of the combination of lightning and fire.


    ¡°Hehe, this move can be said to be a varied form of the Eye of Soul. Let¡¯s call it the Ice Soul Shooting Line or Ice Soul Charge.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly.


    The Eye of Ice Soul focused mainly on freezing the opponents thoughts and mind and was a continuous attack whereas this Ice Soul Shooting Line was about explosiveness and was like Chi Gui¡¯s Ghost God breaking through the Void which could block the attack of others.


    ¡°Copying technique? Your eye bloodline¡­..¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s eyes bulged and his mouth dropped open.


    At this moment he was lightly injured from the Lightning Fire and Ice Soul but none of this surpassed the shock right now.


    Eye of Illusion!


    Zhao Feng once again used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The next moment.


    Chi Gui appeared in a cold dimension with chains of lightning bounding him.


    ¡°Illusion restricting my thought?¡±


    Chi Gui was slightly surprised but didn¡¯t panic. He had obviously seen similar skills before.


    Pa Pa Pa!


    Zhao Feng whipped a spiky metal whip heavily onto Chi Gui and kept on torturing his consciousness.


    When one¡¯s mental energy consciousness was tortured to the maximum, they would become tired and faint.


    Chi Gui obviously knew what situation he was in.


    The problem was that he was in midair and after a couple breaths he would fall onto the ground, becoming fertiliser for the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Vengeance Ghost Spirit Explosion!¡±


    Chi Gui gritted his teeth and the black nose ring trembled as it released a powerful source of ghost power.


    In the physical dimension Chi Gui¡¯s forehead started to burn with a ghost power which created an indescribable shaking of the soul.


    Huang!


    Waves of black air started to flow everywhere within the illusion dimension and Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. The energy he needed to use to maintain the illusion dimension instantly became several times larger.


    Chi Gui was going to force his way out.


    If it were a normal one on one battle Zhao Feng would definitely drag it out because he was confident in the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s mental energy source.


    However, the situation was different right now.


    His opponent wasn¡¯t just Chi Gui, there was nine other True Lord Ranks and two of them had arrived.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on¡­. Chi Gui seems to be suppressed?¡±


    The black faced youth and elegant female were slightly surprised.


    Just not long ago the clash of their bloodlines had made the hearts of the watching geniuses shake. However, it was obvious Zhao Feng had turned the tide and was the one now surprising Chi Gui.


    Chi Gui¡¯s body was slightly scorched and sweet appeared on his forehead as he struggled.


    ¡°Looks like we¡¯ve underestimated him. Even Chi Gui can¡¯t suppress him¡­.¡±


    Ye Yanyu who was watching far away had a solemn expression but luckily the two supporting True Lord Ranks had arrived.


    ¡°Zhao Feng and Chi Gui are at a vital point and can¡¯t be distracted. This is the best chance to kill him.¡±


    Killing intent appeared on the elegant female¡¯s face.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. We can¡¯t help in terms of eye bloodline but if we kill Zhao Feng everything will be solved.¡±


    The black faced youth nodded his head.


    The two were smart and saw where the problem was at.


    Sou Sou!


    The two True Lord Ranks flew through the air and got closer to Zhao Feng.


    Although Zhao Feng was standing in the forests and within the boundaries of the Towering Tree Yao, there was seven other True Lord Ranks and many True Spirit Realms helping. As long as the two didn¡¯t get too deep and attacked from far away, they still had a high chance of success.


    ¡°Three True Lord Ranks teaming up. You overestimate me.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s light laughter was accompanied with a killing intent.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng retracted his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and Chi Gui¡¯s consciousness instantly returned back to his body. His face was pale white and almost fell over head first.


    At this moment in time Chi Gui saw the other two True Lord Ranks charge towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    Chi Gui cursed. Through the battle just then he understood how dangerous Zhao Feng was. Even normal True Lord Ranks would find it hard to block his eye bloodline skills.


    All he could do right now was use his Black Wicked Eye which only had 60% of its battle power left to stall Zhao Feng.


    However.


    Zhao Feng ignored his Black Wicked Eyes¡¯ distractions and focused on the two True Lord Ranks closing in.


    ¡°You can all stay behind.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly waved his hand.


    Shua Shua!


    From below the earth burst out two dark silver figures that lept towards the black faced youth and elegant girl from behind.


    ¡°What¡¯s that---- not good!!¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s eyes flashed and exclaimed.


    The two dark silver figures were two Dark Silver Poison Corpses and their auras were comparable to the True Lord Rank ghost corpses.


    The two True Lord Ranks instantly were pincer attacked by the two poison corpses and Zhao Feng.


    The elegant girl was a bit behind and instantly was ambushed by the two poison corpses.


    ¡°Save me¡­.¡±


    The elegantly dressed female exclaimed. She had just reached the True Lord Rank not long ago and was in an extremely dangerous situation facing two poison corpses.


    Shu Shu Shu----


    Under Zhao Feng¡¯s control, the two dark silver poison corpses waved their poisonous scorpion claws and ripped towards the girl.


    The elegant girl panicked as her Qi of True Spirit protection was ripped apart from the claws.


    Shu-


    A bloody gash was left on her snow white skin and the instant the poison entered her body, her blood froze. She had half stepped into the doors of death.


    Shu Shu--


    Immediately following after that her dress and body was pierced through by the two ghost corpses and eaten. No matter how pretty she was, at the end of the day she was still a bunch of bones.


    The gruesome scene made the other seven True Lord Ranks take in deep cold breaths.


    ¡°SIster Gong!¡±


    The black faced youth was stunned by what he saw.


    He first reactions wasn¡¯t to take revenge but to run.


    Terrifying!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was hidden deep and had concealed two ghost corpses.


    ¡°Eye of Ice Soul!¡±


    However, just as he had flown out several yards a weird coldness extended throughout his body.


    With his early stage True Lord Rank cultivation, his thoughts and mind slowed down to a rate even worse than those at the True Human Rank.


    Shu Shu Shu----


    The two ghost corpses clawed and bit furiously as they ripped the black faced True Lord into pieces.


    ¡°That¡¯s two.¡±


    Zhao Feng emotionlessly slayed two True Lord Ranks then directed the two poison corpses towards Chi Gui.

 428 The Third Kill

    In just a short moment, two True Lord Ranks had died to the poison corpses.


    The seven True Lords and geniuses of the three sects were stunned by this sudden change.


    Everything came too fast. Just a moment before, Zhao Feng was being suppressed by Chi Gui from their eye bloodline battle and with the arrival of two more True Lord Ranks, this was getting extremely dangerous for Zhao Feng.


    Who knew that the situation would take a sudden twist?


    Of the three True Lord Ranks, two were slain and the remaining, Chi Gui, was in extreme danger.


    ¡°Two poison corpses that have technically reached the True Lord Rank and have such a dominant poison¡­. How is this possible!?¡±


    Chi Gui couldn¡¯t believe his eyes.


    How difficult was it to raise a ghost corpse to the True Lord Rank?


    Chi Gui personally knew how hard this was. He had spent many years and resources to obtain two of them, whereas Zhao Feng had only stolen them from another Black Cliff Palace disciple and at that time, the two weren¡¯t even at the peak True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°Earth Yin Poison Mushroom. He must have got the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom!¡±


    Chi Gui suddenly thought of something and understood. Only the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom had the ability to raise a ghost corpse to the True Lord Rank so easily.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng also had the Sky Marking Stone, Deadly Yin Crystal Bone, and claws of the giant scorpion.


    With so many top materials, these two corpses were armored to the bone.


    Go!


    Zhao Feng controlled the two dark silver poison corpses and made them charge towards Chi Gui.


    ¡°Not good¡­ run!¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s soul almost flew away from fear.


    He knew how terrifying the poison of the ancient scorpion was. On top of that, Zhao Feng had the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom. With the combination of the two poisons, anyone that bled would die.


    As long as the ghost corpses sliced through their skin, their lives were left behind.


    Eye of Ice Soul!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye flashed with a coldness as he locked onto Chi Gui.


    Chi Gui¡¯s body froze and his thoughts started to slow down as his speed instantly became 60-70% slower.


    Sou Sou!


    The two dark silver ghost corpses came closer.


    ¡°Am I going to die here¡­.?¡±


    Chi Gui felt as if he was frozen in ice and the aura of death approached him.


    With the Eye of Ice Soul locked onto him, he definitely couldn¡¯t fight against the two dark silver poison corpses and would certainly die if his skin was cut open.


    At this moment, Chi Gui regretted giving Zhao Feng the Deadly Yin Crystal Bone and Claws of the giant scorpion. These two strengthened the ghost corpses¡¯ sharpness and poison.


    If Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have those two materials, the two ghost corpses would only barely be at the True Lord Rank level and would not be this threatening.


    ¡°Brother Chi¡­..¡±


    The skinny Mo Yu from the Black Cliff Palace roared as he quickly flew over in this direction.


    Go!


    Chi Gui gritted his teeth and summoned the remaining blood silver corpse.


    He only had two True Lord Rank ghost corpses, but one of them was smashed to smithereens by the Towering Tree Yao.


    Of course, this blood silver corpses¡¯ battle power was comparable to the early stage True Lord Rank and should be able to stall them for a while.


    Shu Shu Peng Boom!----


    The two dark silver poison corpses lept towards the blood silver corpse and started to tear at one another.


    Under normal situations, Chi Gui¡¯s blood silver ghost corpse could last a while against the two, but right now his thoughts were slowed down due to the Eye of Ice Soul and couldn¡¯t fully control his blood silver corpse. Only 60-70% of its full battle power could be used.


    In just a few blows, the two dark silver poison corpses were suppressing the blood silver corpse.


    ¡°If I can get this blood silver corpse, my overall strength would rise dramatically.¡±


    A thought appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Chi Gui didn¡¯t know that this thought allowed him to survive. If Zhao Feng really wanted to kill Chi Gui, he only needed to stall the blood silver corpse with one of the dark silver poison corpses then use the other poison corpse and his Eye of Ice Soul as well as Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye to attack Chi Gui. At that time he would have at least a 70% success rate.


    However, Zhao Feng wanted the blood silver ghost corpse. He used his Eye of Ice Soul to restrain Chi Gui then started to push the blood silver ghost corpse towards the ground.


    Peng Peng Boom---


    Chi Gui¡¯s blood silver corpse was soon forced near the ground.


    Xiu Xiu Xiu-----


    Roots broke out from under the earth.


    ¡°Leave this corpse, I still have uses for it.¡±


    Zhao Feng told the Towering Tree Yao.


    The dozens of roots instantly dragged the blood silver corpse into the earth.


    Done.


    Zhao Feng was extremely satisfied as he then controlled the two poison corpses to pursue after Chi Gui.


    Chi Gui was affected by the Eye of Ice Soul from beginning to end and hadn¡¯t run far.


    ¡°Unfortunate¡­¡±


    Although Chi Gui¡¯s heart hurt from losing a True Lord Rank corpse, at least his life was saved.


    ¡°Brother Chi¡­. I¡¯ll save you.¡±


    Mo Yu arrived and went to block the two poison corpses.


    Bam Bam!


    Mo Yu waved his arms and pushed back the two poison corpses.


    ¡°This person trains the corpse body strengthening technique and has a body similar to ghost corpses, almost fully resilient to poison.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved.


    He understood that of the ten True Lord Ranks, only this person could block the poison of his ghost corpses to a certain degree.


    Eye of Ice Soul!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression went cold as he turned his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye onto Mo Yu.


    In terms of mental energy, Mo Yu was far worse than Chi Gui and as the Eye of Ice Soul locked onto him, his thoughts and reactions slowed down.


    Mo Yu trained in the corpse body strengthening technique and although his body was strong, he wasn¡¯t very fast.


    Now that he had been locked on by the Eye of Ice Soul, he became as clumsy as a turtle and every action of his was tiring.


    Pa Pa Peng Peng---


    The two poison corpses started to furiously claw and bite into Mo Yu¡¯s defense. Mo Yu¡¯s body was incredibly strong and under normal circumstances, hr could send one poison corpse flying with one first.


    However, with the Eye of Ice Soul¡¯s effect, his speed and agility weren¡¯t even as good as some True Human Ranks.


    At this point in time, Mo Yu was being attacked crazily by the two dark silver poison corpses.


    A normal expert would walk through the doors of death when their skin was cut open, but Mo Yu¡¯s body was similar to a corpse and was almost fully resilient to poison.


    Of course, he wasn¡¯t a true corpse and Mo Yu wasn¡¯t fully resilient towards the combination of the poison from the giant scorpion and Earth Yin Poison Mushroom; his defense was just several times stronger than other True Lord Ranks.


    After his skin had been cut open several times, Mo Yu¡¯s body became slower and slower and a purple-black color appeared on his face.


    ¡°Brother Mo Yu!¡±


    Chi Gui cursed as he saw Mo Yu fall into desperation. If it were him instead, he would have died several times over already. Of the True Lords, only Mo Yu could resist the poison for so long.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    A transparent azure flame glittered in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    Whoosh!


    A transparent lightning fire burned on Mo Yu¡¯s body.


    ¡°Arghhhh!¡±


    Mo Yu howled. The elements of lightning and fire countered the Dao of Ghost Corpses.


    He wasn¡¯t like Chi Gui who specialized in eye bloodlines which could even block Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks.


    The destructive Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye followed the Eye of Ice Soul and injured Mo Yu¡¯s mind.


    Bam Bam!


    Mo Yu roared and waved his arms, pushing away the two dark silver poison corpses.


    In this critical moment, he even burned his Qi of True Spirit to increase his battle power and escape.


    The two dark silver poison corpses were hit by Mo Yu and the arms of one of the corpses broke.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression dimmed as his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was circulated to the maximum.


    Eye of Illusion!


    Ice Soul Shooting Line!


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Whoosh! Qiu--- Huang!


    The three major eye skills landed on Mo Yu.


    The first Eye of Illusion tugged Mo Yu¡¯s consciousness and stopped him burning his Qi of True Spirit.


    This lowered his defense.


    Qiu---


    Immediately following after was a ray of light that shot into Mo Yu¡¯s body and injured his mind.


    Huang!


    The last Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye immediately sent Mo Yu into a place where he couldn¡¯t come back from.


    ¡°Senior Brother Mo Yu¡­!!!!¡±


    Chi Gui roared as the other geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace exclaimed.


    Mo Yu¡¯s soul had been burnt by the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye and he fell from the air, becoming fertilizer for the Towering Tree Yao.


    In reality, before even Mo Yu had landed, his mind had been destroyed.


    The six True Lord Ranks watching all took a cold breath.


    When the three major eye bloodline techniques landed on a target, they would definitely die.


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had showed his fierceness.


    ¡°The third one.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was cold, but also slightly ugly at the same time.


    After using so many eye bloodline techniques continuously, he had expended a lot of energy and this was with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye helping him. If it were another eye bloodline genius, they definitely wouldn¡¯t last so long.


    ¡°Human, I admit I underestimated you. You were actually able to finish off three of the Ten True Lord Ranks so quickly. When you used your eye bloodline, even my Wood Spirit Essence Soul felt cold.¡±


    Joy could be heard from the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s voice.


    Zhao Feng had finished off three True Lord Ranks and did it quickly.


    Before this, the Towering Tree Yao only thought of Zhao Feng as a grain of hope but didn¡¯t believe in him.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure returned to an area where there was a lot of branches and sat down with a pale face.


    ¡®Brother Tree, can you give me the Wood Spirit Essence Soul now? It¡¯ll help me recover and give me a greater chance to chase those enemies away.¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°You haven¡¯t completed your promise yet. I know from experience how cunning you humans can be.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao obviously wasn¡¯t dumb or else he wouldn¡¯t have become a Yao.


    ¡°You know that I spent a lot of energy killing the three True Lord Ranks. The other seven True Lord Ranks won¡¯t fall for it.¡±


    Zhao Feng continued.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao was slightly hesitant as it was scared to be calculated by Zhao Feng.


    ¡®There¡¯s another important point. If you give me the Wood spirit Essence Soul, I¡¯ll be able to use stronger eye bloodline techniques which are critical for pushing the True Lord Rank¡¯s back.¡±

 429 Monstrous

    Within the branches, Zhao Feng moved the Towering Tree Yao with just a couple sentences.


    The Towering Tree Yao was extremely moved by the last sentence.


    It was already shocked by Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline.


    What would Zhao Feng¡¯s stronger eye bloodline technique be?


    Furthermore, the Towering Tree Yao had to step back for its own safety.


    Zhao Feng expending a lot of energy to kill the three True Lord Ranks was true. It was obviously not realistic for him to block the remaining seven True Lord Ranks with his current state.


    ¡°Fine, I can give the Wood Spirit Essence Soul to you but you can¡¯t do any tricks¡­.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao agreed.


    As soon as it finished saying this, Zhao Feng felt a pure power of essence soul enter his mental energy world.


    The energy cleansed Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and strengthened his mental energy power, giving him a feeling that he was full of life force.


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s age was definitely to be counted by tens of thousands of years and the Wood Spirit Essence Soul it had was a precious treasure of nature.


    Even those at the Origin Core Realm would benefit from the Wood Spirit Essence Soul and it was helpful for them to comprehend the Void God Realm.


    The Wood Spirit Essence souls¡¯ effect was more obvious more Zhao Feng because the core of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was the Soul.


    ¡°Great! Brother Tree, my mental energy has been strengthened and with this Essence Soul backing me up, I believe the power of my eye bloodline will be much stronger.¡±


    Zhao Feng was happy. He said this to reduce the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s caution of himself and for it to fully support him.


    In reality, This situation was created on purpose by Zhao Feng.


    He had only used thirty to forty percent of his eye powers but on the surface, he seemed to have used a lot of energy.


    He had used his eye bloodline without limit before and at the end, he used three major eye bloodlines techniques.


    Of course, Mo Yu had to be killed as he was the only one that could block the dark silver poison corpses poison.


    Without Mo Yu shielding the others, who would dare charge in and kill Zhao Feng?


    Now Zhao Feng could ask the Towering Tree Yao for help and the latter would help him because it saw hope from Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.


    Having received the support of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul had been strengthened.


    His mental energy level rose a little bit and the energy he expended before was recovering quickly.


    ¡°I hope you don¡¯t disappoint me. This Wood Spirit Essence Soul is my core. Supporting you will also use my core¡¯s energy.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao sighed. It was forced to do this.


    If it wasn¡¯t due to a life or death situation, the Towering Tree Yao definitely wouldn¡¯t use its core to support someone else.


    At the same time, Chi Gui escaped back to the other six True Lord Ranks with a pale face.


    In the air, the expressions of the seven True Lord Ranks were solemn.


    Who would have imagined that a True Mystic Rank genius outsider would be so strong as to kill three True Lord Ranks without being injured at all?


    ¡°My eye bloodline has used a lot of energy and I won¡¯t be able to fight with that brat in a short amount of time.¡±


    Chi Gui felt grateful


    Mo Yu¡¯s death shook his heart. If it wasn¡¯t because of him, he would be the one to die.


    This meant that Mo Yu had saved him with his own life.


    ¡°Chi Gui, although you guys failed, at least we know Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s charming voice sounded.


    ¡°We must kill this Zhao Feng.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s usually expressionless face was filled with coldness.


    Two of the fallen three True Lord Ranks came from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    This made her feel more guilty. If it wasn¡¯t because that she had been tricked by Zhao Feng, Yu Luo and company wouldn¡¯t have died so easily.


    The seven True Lord Ranks watched Zhao Feng through the gaps in the branches. Zhao Feng¡¯s face was pale white and was resting.


    ¡®After killing three True Lord Ranks, a lot of this brat¡¯s energy will have been used up. Now¡¯s the time to follow up and attack the Towering Tree Yao or kill him.¡±


    Chi Gui suggested and the other six True Lord Ranks nodded their head in agreement.


    ¡°Hmm? Wait, that seems to be the power of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul!!¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er suddenly sensed something and turned towards Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Not good, he¡¯s got the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s cores support.¡±


    Ye Yanyu also realized this.


    The cultivation of the two were the highest and they soon saw the change on Zhao Feng¡¯s body. It was obvious Zhao Feng was using the Wood Spirit Essence soul to recover his strength.


    ¡°Ridiculous! What kind of fortune does this kid have to let the Towering Tree Yao give its own essence soul to him??¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s white face was contorted and his voice was filled with anger.


    The other six True Lord Ranks were all angry.


    The three sects had teamed up to attack the Towering Tree Yao for its Wood Spirit Essence Soul and other treasures, but now Zhao Feng had got it so easily.


    It was as if their attacks gave Zhao Feng this chance.


    ¡°Ridiculous¡­.¡±


    Li Hong¡¯s eyes were smoking and they almost burst from rage. The enemy he swore to cut into a ten thousand pieces was surviving well and all of this was because of them.


    ¡°I will kill him no matter how big the price.¡±


    A cold killing intent formed on Ye Yanyu¡¯s forehead.


    The seven True Lord Ranks led the other geniuses and sent a barrage of attacks towards the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Now¡¯s the chance to destroy the Towering Tree Yao and kill Zhao Feng.¡±


    ¡°Even just weakening the Towering Tree Yao will endanger Zhao Feng.¡±


    Under the teamwork of the seven True Lord Ranks and geniuses of the three sects, their attacks were more powerful.


    Maybe only under this situation would the three sects truly band together.


    Zhao Feng sat still and was unmoved by the attacks.


    Shua!


    With a flash, Zhao Feng landed next to the ground.


    Whoosh!


    A blood silver corpse was lifted out by some roots.


    This blood silver corpses¡¯ battle power was comparable to the early stage True Lord Rank and its defense was stronger than others at the early stage True Lord Rank.This corpse was one of the meat shields when fighting the giant scorpion.


    A glow of lightning fire appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye as it locked onto the blood silver corpse.


    Wu~~


    The blood silver corpse struggled, but it was restrained by the roots of the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Hmph, want to destroy my mental energy symbol? It¡¯s not that easy.¡±


    Chi Gui sensed this from far afar and snickered coldly.


    The blood silver ghost corpse had been his for many years and his mental energy symbol was imprinted deeply onto it. Even experts at the same cultivation as him would take days to destroy it.


    Even if they succeeded, it would take a while to imprint their own mental energy symbol onto a True Lord Rank ghost corpse.


    However, Zhao Feng was trying and his powerful Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye forcefully wiped Chi Gui¡¯s mental energy symbol.


    ¡°What the hell¡­.?¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s expression changed dramatically. The connection between the blood silver corpse and him suddenly became much weaker.


    Within a few breaths.


    Shua!


    The blood silver corpse started to smoke as its mental energy symbol was wiped clean.


    Wah!


    Chi Gui spat out a mouthful of blood. After all, the two originally had a strong connection.


    ¡°Such speed¡­ how is that possible? Could his eye bloodline perfectly counter our dao?¡±


    Chi Gui seemed as if he had lost his soul. By wiping Chi Gui¡¯s mental energy symbol off the blood silver corpse, Zhao Feng once again injured Chi Gui¡¯s mind.


    Chi Gui¡¯s injury became more severe and hence he was less threatening towards Zhao Feng.


    Immediately following that, Zhao Feng circulated his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and then put his mental energy symbol onto the blood silver corpse.


    Although in this process, the blood silver corpse struggled as it had reached the True Lord Rank, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely powerful.


    His eye twinkled and gave off an ancient mental energy aura that belonged to eye¡¯s origin.


    The blood silver corpse trembled out of instinct and didn¡¯t dare to fight back.


    It was as if it were a tiny ghost bowing down to a God.


    Even the essence soul of the Towering Tree Yao started to shake.


    In just a couple breaths, the aura from the blood silver corpse changed.


    Shua!


    The blood silver corpse flashed and guarded in front of Zhao Feng as if it were extremely loyal to him.


    ¡°Immediately refined¡­. How is this possible?¡±


    ¡°How would there be someone so monstrous in this world?¡±


    The geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace were dazed as if they were watching a legend.


    In their eyes, Zhao Feng had only looked a couple of seconds with his eye to destroy Chi Gui¡¯s mental energy symbol and another couple eyes made the True Lord Rank ghost corpse his.


    ¡°Wrong¡­. He¡¯s not the counter of the Dao of Ghost Corpses, but a one in a thousand generation prodigy.¡±


    Chi Gui was bitter. This feeling of defeat was a hundred times worse than losing to Zhao Feng head on.


    He was sure that if a prodigy like Zhao Feng was known to the upper echelons of the Black Cliff Palace they would raise him with everything they had.


    ¡°Done.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    His figure flashed and returned to sitting on the branch.


    This time was different from before. The blood silver corpse at the early stage True Lord Rank stood next to Zhao Feng and protected him whereas the other two poison corpses were hidden away by Zhao Feng for the next ambush.


    The disciples from the three sects all took a deep breath.


    It was hard to imagine how strong Zhao Feng¡¯s overall strength had now reached.


    Just the three ghost corpses in his hand were comparable to three True Lord Ranks.


    Furthermore, the two poison corpses had the destructive power that could kill as long as they drew blood.


    Right at this moment, a voice sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind: ¡°The Ruins Treasured Palace will descend next to the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s gap within an hour.¡±


    ¡°An hour?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, within an hour. It could even appear in the next instant.¡±

 430 Illusion City Maze

    ¡°An hour? Good.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath in his heart.


    The earlier the Ruins Treasured Palace descended, the better it was for him.


    As long as he stalled till when the Ruins Treasured Palace descended, Zhao Feng¡¯s mission was complete.


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s gap area.


    Boom----


    The seven True Lord Ranks and other True Spirit Realm geniuses attacked the main trunk of the Towering Tree Yao.


    In the branches, Zhao Feng sat down and comprehended the power of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul as pure waves of essence soul filled his mental energy world.


    The Wood Spirit Essence Soul was the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s core and its power of essence soul was similar to the power of its soul.


    The Towering Tree Yao had existed for an extremely long time and the profoundness it held within the Wood Spirit Essence Soul wasn¡¯t something a normal being could be compared to.


    In this process, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was strengthened and the energy used from his eye bloodline before was almost fully recovered.


    His mind was comprehending the laws of life that the Towering Tree Yao had went through in tens of thousands of years.


    Even a King at the Void God Realm probably wouldn¡¯t have lived as long as this Towering Tree Yao.


    Within the dimension of his left eye.


    Memories of growing and withering quickly flew by. This was all in the Wood Spirit Essence Soul. Even the Towering Tree Yao itself wouldn¡¯t be able to find these memories that were so deep within his mind and replay it out fully. However, it couldn¡¯t be compared to Zhao Feng in terms of the mastery of the soul and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    In just a while, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline had healed and his soul was strengthened. Such a quick effect was due to Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and how he had stepped into the Ancient Dao of the Soul before.


    The Wood Spirit Essence Soul would only be fully utilized when falling into the hands of humans and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s was very efficient.


    ¡°My mental energy level is much stronger than early stage True Lord Ranks and not too much weaker than a late stage True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng was like a sponge that continuously absorbed and comprehended the power of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    ¡°Human, how much more time do you need before you can fight?¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s injuries were getting worse as it took the attacks from the seven True Lord Ranks and a hundred geniuses from the three sects head on.


    ¡°Soon.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood that the Towering Tree Yao could probably survive the remaining one hour and he wanted to absorb more of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    Boom Boom Bang----


    The Towering Tree Yao took another round of attacks head on and its branches rattled and gave off a low moan of pain like an old man.


    ¡°Human, I can¡¯t hold it for much longer. All of these geniuses can challenge those above their cultivation.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao begged and Zhao Feng found that the power of Wood Spirit Essence Soul that the Towering Tree Yao provided had weakened by a bit.


    On one side, it was because of the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s injuries and on the other side, it was because it wanted Zhao Feng to help quickly.


    ¡°Brother Tree, I need you Wood Spirit essence soul to support my ranged eye bloodline attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng exited from comprehension and his mental energy state had reached the maximum.


    ¡°Ok, hurry.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s mind shook and gave a pure flow of essence soul into Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy world.


    In that instant, Zhao Feng felt his soul become filled with an endless stream.


    He couldn¡¯t help but curse that the Towering Tree Yao didn¡¯t give its full support before.


    Now hearing that Zhao Feng needed its power to deal with the geniuses from the three sects, the Towering Tree Yao immediately gave one to two percent of its energy to him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and entered the dimension of his left eye.


    The freezing pond had extended to eight yards, more than double when he was at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    A strange ripple traveled across the freezing pond. This was Zhao Feng¡¯s source of mental energy and right now, a powerful surge of wood spirit essence soul had appeared.


    This meant that Zhao Feng could control his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and make it last longer.


    Under the circulation of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, the Towering Tree Yao started to become uneasy and tremble from its soul.


    Even the blood silver corpse nearby shook in fear.


    ¡°Everyone watch out!¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he warned the geniuses of the three sects.


    Chi Gui had been injured from the battle with Zhao Feng before and was unable to fight anymore. He rested on the side but kept an eye on Zhao Feng and sensed Zhao Feng¡¯s actions when the latter moved.


    ¡°The first target¡­. is you!¡±


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Zhao Feng maximised his left eye and a bright flame appeared in his left eye.


    Whoosh!


    A ball of transparent lightning fire enveloped Chi Gui. The power of the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye this time was a level stronger than before.


    ¡°Arghhhh!¡±


    Chi Gui howled in pain and he released an air of ghosts to put out the lightning fire.


    A couple geniuses of the Black Cliff Palace rushed over to help but when they arrived, Chi Gui was on his last breath.


    If it were someone else who didn¡¯t specialize in eye bloodline, they probably would¡¯ve died already.


    The other six True Lord Ranks were stunned. Not only did Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline not weaken, it had grown stronger.


    ¡°Wood¡­. Wood spirit¡­.¡±


    Chi Gui spat out bitterly before he fainted. Just one Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye was enough to make Chi Gui, the person who specialized in eye bloodline the most out of the True Lords, faint.


    Zhao Feng now only needed to focus on the remaining six True Lord Ranks and didn¡¯t need to waste any more energy on Chi Gui.


    This meant that of the original ten True Lord Ranks, only six had battle capabilities left.


    However, this was just the start of a nightmare.


    Zhao Feng perched on the branches as his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye seemed to become a limitless abyss that wanted to devour the world.


    Eye of illusion - Illusion City Maze!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned over the group and of the people from the three sects, over a dozen people were eaten by the abyss in the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    In the next instant.


    Shua!


    The mote than dozen geniuses felt as if space had distorted and they appeared in an ancient city, not at the gap of the Towering Tree Yao anymore.


    This city was covered in a white mist and the landscape was extremely complex, like a giant maze.


    ¡°Where¡¯s this? How did we just suddenly enter here?"


    ¡°Dammit! We¡¯ve probably been taken here by that bastard mental energy skill.¡±


    The more than a dozen people from the three sects were like hot ants running around the maze.


    Although they knew that this was just an illusion of Zhao Feng''s, they were still the ones experiencing it and tried to find a way out.


    In the real world.


    The geniuses of the three sects broke out into chaos.


    Over a dozen geniuses ran around or more precisely, ran around in circles.


    A small number of them had lost control and were screaming.


    Others had locked eyebrows as they thought about how to break through Zhao Feng¡¯s Illusion City maze.


    Plop Plop!


    A couple that were in the illusions fell from the air and became fertilizer for the Towering Tree Yao.


    They were the geniuses who had found the ¡®exit¡¯ and ¡®flaws¡¯ in the Illusion City Maze.


    Amongst the more than a dozen geniuses, there was an early stage True Lord Rank who struggled and ran around in circles.


    ¡°The Illusion City Maze expends a lot of energy. Luckily, I have the Wood Spirit Essence soul¡¯s support.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood still and started to improvise his Illusion City Maze.


    The Illusion City Maze belonged to the Eye of Illusion and used illusions to stall the enemy.


    The difference was that the Illusion City Maze only restricted the enemy but didn¡¯t torture their consciousness.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the scenery of the Illusion City Maze became clearer.


    ¡°Next time, I can just copy out the structure of the Illusion City Maze which will use far less energy.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved. Said simply, the Illusion City Maze had been copied by Zhao Feng and the next time he used it he wouldn¡¯t need to think so much.


    With the support of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, Zhao Feng¡¯s mind was strengthened and he had a steady stream of power to help him build this Illusion City Maze.


    ¡°Twelve¡­. Thirteen¡­. Fourteen¡­ ¡±


    Zhao Feng started to expand the Illusion City Maze.


    In the branches. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye became critically luring and those that looked at it were attracted to it.


    Apart from Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er, anyone else that looked at his eyes would become filled with energy from the Illusion City Maze and their senses would be tricked.


    They were in the air but their senses had been ¡®lied¡¯ to and they thought that they were actually inside a city.


    As the Illusion City Maze enveloped twenty people, Zhuang Wan¡¯er and Ye Yanyu were more and more shocked.


    ¡°Everyone watch out! Don¡¯t look at his left eye!¡±


    Ye Yanyu warned those that weren¡¯t trapped in the illusion yet.


    After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was the Illusion City Maze¡¯s source of power.


    If they didn¡¯t look at the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, the chances of them being attracted to the illusion were lower.


    ¡°Those that have fallen into the illusion, don¡¯t panic. Stay where you are and we¡¯ll come help you.¡±


    The True Lord Ranks sent their spiritual sense into the others¡¯ mental energy and those in the illusion could faintly hear Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s voices but most of them still panicked.


    Zhao Feng only needed to keep on maintaining the Illusion City Maze and watch out for mistakes.


    As time passed, the Illusion City Maze successfully enveloped twenty to thirty geniuses including a beginning stage True Lord Rank and early stage True lord Rank.


    The other four True Lord Ranks and geniuses all stopped their attacks as they feared for their lives.

 431 Pursuing Through the Air

    ¡°Human, you indeed have a couple tricks. Already stopping their attacks by making just one move.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s joyful voice sounded.


    Before this, it had faced the attacks from the seven True Lord Ranks and a hundred True Spirit Realm geniuses, which was very painful for it.


    When Zhao Feng moved, he had indeed changed the situation.


    At this point in time, twenty to thirty geniuses including two True Lord Ranks had fallen into Zhao Feng¡¯s Illusion City Maze.


    The Illusion City Maze was built on Zhao Feng¡¯s eye of Illusion and was a wide ranged skill.


    In terms of profoundness, the Illusion City Maze wasn¡¯t higher than the Eye of Illusion but its difficulty was that it was a widespread mental energy skill and could entrap a large number of enemies.


    Before this, Zhao Feng was restricted by his cultivation and didn¡¯t try to make such a skill. Furthermore, this was the first time Zhao Feng had met opponents that tried to win with numbers.


    Most of those he fought before were either by themselves or in a small group. The four eye bloodline skills were more than enough.


    The Illusion City Maze was made under this situation.


    ¡°The Illusion City Maze is specifically made to fight a large number of people. No matter how many you bring, I¡¯ll still make them stop and not walk a step further.¡±


    Zhao Feng perched on the branch. His left eye was like a limitless abyss and his blue hair blew mysteriously and wickedly in the wind, showing off the nobility of his bloodline.


    The thing was that Zhao Feng¡¯s Illusion City Maze was placed near the gap in the Towering Tree Yao and those near it could be more affected.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng was still slowly expanding his Illusion City Maze.


    ¡°Brother Tree, the more you help, the more powerful my eye bloodline technique.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng mouth.


    As soon as he said this, Zhao Feng felt an even more powerful surge of essence soul enter his mental energy world. It was the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s origin.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was immediately cleansed like the rain of spring pouring down.


    This feeling was like soaking in a spa pool. The hidden and deep injuries could all be healed.


    ¡°Great.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. With the Towering Tree Yao helping him, his comprehension of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul became twice as effective.


    In this situation, his mental energy level started to close in on the late stage True Lord Rank.


    The Illusion City Maze consolidated and expanded. The number of geniuses falling into the Illusion City Maze was increasing but the number struggling out was decreasing.


    Plop Plop!


    There were the occasional one or two geniuses that fell down and became the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s fertilizer.


    Zhao Feng purposely made exits and flaws in the Illusion City Maze. These exits and flaws were near the ground and those that thought they had escaped were actually walking through the doors of death.


    ¡°We must kill Zhao Feng to save the disciples.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s face went cold with killing intent as a transparent sword appeared in her hand.


    She turned around to face Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    The Zhao Feng today was different from the past. At least two late-stage True Lord Ranks were needed to have confidence.


    Zhao Feng hid in the depths of the Towering Tree Yao and had the advantage in the landscape.


    Normal True Lord Ranks would be flattened into pancakes before they even got close.


    The main thing was that Zhao Feng was extremely strong and two of his three True Lord Rank ghost corpses killed anyone that they drew blood on.


    Even under normal circumstances, only Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er could threaten Zhao Feng.


    Facing Ye Yanyu¡¯s suggestion, Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s face started to hesitate.


    ¡°No.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s voice was filled with helplessness.


    Why?


    Ye Yanyu was extremely surprised.


    ¡°Ye Yanyu, it looks like you¡¯re filled with hatred and guilt. Kill Zhao Feng? Slay the Towering Tree Yao? How many more people will die if we do so? Is all of this worth it?¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s voice was decisive.


    Ye Yanyu paused.


    That¡¯s right, the three sects had paid too big a price to kill the Towering Tree Yao and the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect had lost three True Lord Ranks including Yu Luo.


    At this point in time, the situation was getting even worse and Zhao Feng¡¯s wide range mental energy illusion trapped a large number of people. Everyone had the chance to die.


    ¡°Everyone from the Moon Demon Palace¡­. Retreat.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er looked deeply at the blue haired youth in the branches before giving the order.


    The geniuses of the Moon Demon Palace looked at one another before retreating and doing their best to take some of the others in the illusions as well.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really mind about these retreating geniuses and focused mainly on those from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    ¡°Everyone from the Black Cliff Palace retreat.¡±


    Chi Gui had awoken and gave the order after Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    Specialising in eye bloodline, he understood how terrifying Zhao Feng was right now. Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline was immeasurable. Chi Gui had never seen something more terrifying. Probably only the Eight Great God¡¯s Eye could suppress Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Apart from that, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level had surpassed normal early stage True Lord Ranks and with the Wood Spirit Essence Soul supporting him, his energy was continuous.


    Apart from Zhuang Wan¡¯er and Ye Yanyu, probably no one else would be able to take an eye or two from Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    Ye Yanyu bit her lips and forced down the anger and unwillingness in her heart.


    Maybe all three sects combined could kill Zhao Feng and even the Towering Tree Yao, but how many people will live to see that?


    The price and reward weren¡¯t comparable to one another. It was because of this Zhuang Wan¡¯er gave up. After all, the vengeance of the Moon Demon Palace and Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t big.


    ¡°Sister Ye, are we really going to¡­. ?¡±


    Li Hong was extremely unwilling.


    ¡°I want to kill him ten times more than you, but how many others will have to die for Yu Luo and company¡¯s death?¡±


    Ye Yanyu shook her head bitterly. She knew that she couldn¡¯t kill Zhao Feng anymore when Zhuang Wan¡¯er retreated.


    Only she and Zhuang Wan¡¯er combined had a 50-60% chance of killing Zhao Feng. Only Lu Tianyi had the ability to kill Zhao Feng alone.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. All these humans are retreating?¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao laughed. His joy was indescribable.


    Everyone from the three sects had fallen back, leaving behind ten to twenty bodies.


    At this point in time, only six of the original ten True Lord Ranks had gone. Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Illusion left one more True Lord Rank behind.


    The expressions of those from the three sects were dark.


    ¡°A small half of the ten True Lord Ranks had fallen.¡±


    Just thinking about this made the hearts of the geniuses go cold.


    Zhao Feng stood on the branch and sent away the geniuses from the three sects with his eyes. When they retreated four to five miles out, he spoke: ¡°Brother Tree, don¡¯t stop. We¡¯ll hit the dog that running away.¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao believed in Zhao Feng¡¯s strength and understood that the three sects might come back after a while.


    It would be best to cripple the enemy.


    ¡®These people have already retreated out four to five miles and out of my roots range. How will you take care of them?¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao asked.


    ¡°There¡¯s one move I can try.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    With the Wood Spirit Essence Soul supporting him, Zhao Feng decided to use that move.


    Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng took a deep breath and became one with nature and focused all his energy.


    This was the comprehension he had stolen from Xin Wuheng and he felt as if this intent had exceeded the limit of the True Lord Rank.


    At the same moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye started to condense his aura.


    Suddenly.


    An ancient, immeasurable, terrifying aura radiated from Zhao Feng and the Towering Tree Yao under Zhao Feng¡¯s feet became uneasy: ¡°This aura seems to come from ancient times. Could this be from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­. That¡¯s impossible!¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s Wood Spirit Essence Soul flowed in Zhao Feng without control.


    ¡°Hehe, so that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    The mysterious youth releasing the ancient aura suddenly laughed lightly.


    Immediately following that, the Towering Tree Yao felt as if Zhao Feng¡¯s body had lost his soul.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness lept out from his shell and stepped into the clouds.


    At the same time, the geniuses of the three sects had retreated five to six miles, out of the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s roots¡¯ range.


    ¡°Everybody relax. That brat won¡¯t dare to come out even if he had another one hundred guts.¡±


    ¡°This bastard only relies on the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s protection. If he dares to follow, he¡¯ll find his own death.¡±


    Unwilling voices sounded from amongst the group.


    However, at this instance, everyone felt an uneasy pressure.


    There seemed to be an eye in the sky that coldly watched their every move.


    The uneasiness and pressure became stronger and stronger.


    Some of those with lower cultivation felt their body go cold and as if they had been stripped naked and thrown into a pool of ice.


    ¡°Oh my god, that¡¯s¡­.¡±


    A couple geniuses looked up instinctively and instantly became paralyzed. Their voices trembled and became dazed.


    More and more looked up to the sky and seemed to be struck by lightning.


    Unknowingly, a transparent blue Eye of Heaven had appeared in the sky and watched coldly to the earth below.


    ¡°That eye¡­.¡±


    Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s heart shook.


    Everyone below the True Lord Rank trembled from the pressure.


    ¡°This eye again¡­. What kind of powers does it have?¡±


    Chi Gui took a deep breath.


    Although this was the second time he saw the Eye of Heaven, the power the eye brought the first time was nowhere as strong as this.


    However, the aura and momentum this eye brought was something that Chi Gui could only look up to. Instinct told Chi Gui that this eye had power that he couldn¡¯t imagine.


    This was what Zhao Feng was testing out.

 432 Lu Tianyi

    The disciples of the three sects all raised their heads and looked at the sky. Their hearts shook and an indescribable mental energy pressure made them unable to breathe.


    In the sky, an Eye of Heaven that seemed to exist with the sky and earth glittered blue as it looked down at the earth coldly.


    ¡°This eye looks so familiar. Could it be¡­.¡±


    Ye Yanyu and company glanced towards the depths of the forests in disbelief and many geniuses realized that this eye was extremely similar to Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    Chi Gui from the Black Cliff Palace took a deep breath and was the first to recognize this eye.


    At this moment in time, this Eye of Heaven brought a huge pressure onto the geniuses.


    ¡°Chi Gui, you seem to know something. What is this eye and what powers does it have?¡±


    Even someone as strong as Ye Yanyu had to suppress the uneasiness in her heart.


    The Eye of Heaven looked down and was immeasurable.


    ¡°What I know is limited, but I can confirm that this eye can use mental energy pressure and Zhao Feng once used this skill one hundred to two hundred miles away to extinguish my Ghost Eye Dark Lantern.¡±


    Wariness was written on Chi Gui¡¯s face.


    That was the first time that the two had clashed in terms of eye bloodline.


    ¡°One to two hundred miles?¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er and Ye Yanyu were both shocked.


    Even those at the Origin Core Realm didn¡¯t have such abilities to attack from so far away.


    What was the limit of Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven then?


    Only Zhao Feng knew the answer. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could go as far as how far he could see. With the rise in his cultivation, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see from a thousand miles away.


    Without the restrictions on his senses, there was no difficulty in him seeing two thousand miles.


    Of course, the further away he saw, the more energy was used.


    Under normal situations, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t do this.


    ¡°That¡¯s the feeling¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness lept into the clouds and surveyed the earth below. It was as if he was looking down on a world that he created. Just doing this made him excited.


    Of course, in this process, Zhao Feng¡¯s energy was quickly used.


    ¡°Hmm? Although the use of energy is still large, it¡¯s much smaller than before.¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised. The reason he used the Eye of Heaven now was to use the Wood Spirit Essence soul to support him.


    Through his analysis, Zhao Feng came to the conclusion that the use of energy would vary depending on the distance.


    The further away from the jump, the more the energy used.


    On the contrary, Zhao Feng was only jumping five or six miles away and the expenditure was less than one-tenth than before.


    "There¡¯s another reason. The expenditure would flip by several times when using an attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought back to how he had extinguished the Ghost Eye Dark Lantern.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level was different from before and with the Wood Spirit Essence Soul supporting him, he had no worries.


    For the next one or two breaths, Zhao Feng focused on experiencing this sensation.


    With his eye lept through the air, he had a connection with his body but couldn¡¯t control his body¡¯s movement.


    Zhao Feng still realized that under this state his merging with nature reached an incredible level.


    This was also why when all his energy was focused and he became one with nature it was easier for him to reach this state.


    Apart from that, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes¡¯ control was better as he had merged with the heaven and earth. Even a Sovereign would be moved here.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see if I can use my eye bloodline in this state.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved.


    Unknowingly, several breaths had passed and the geniuses of the three sects were uneasy. They were respectful and wary of the Eye of Heaven. The invisible pressure remained in their hearts.


    ¡°Bastard Zhao, if you have the ability, come and fight. A hero doesn¡¯t hide away and watch from afar.¡±


    Li Hong¡¯s expression was dim. The uneasy pressure made him wary but also angry.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! If you have the ability, come out and fight.¡±


    The geniuses of the three sects agreed.


    Mockery appeared in the Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°Ice Soul Shooting Line!¡±


    A mysterious cold voice sounded in mental energy.


    Weng~~


    The large eye seemed to contain an ice abyss that lit up and shot out a ray of light a fist thick.


    Xiu-----


    The ray of light was half transparent and couldn¡¯t be captured with Spiritual Sense as it flew over.


    ¡°Watch out!¡± Ye Yanyu exclaimed instinctively.


    In that instant, the heaven resounded with a cold Yuan Qi and the original of this power came from the Eye of Heaven.


    The attack was lightning quick and filled with ice Yuan Qi. At the same time, it radiated an elegant, ancient aura.


    Huang!


    Li Hong couldn¡¯t react at all and the ray of light pierced through his body and soul.


    He never imagined that the Eye of Heaven could directly attack and be so fast.


    Siii~~~


    A radius of one mile around Li Hong froze and the area seemed to become naturally cold.


    Li Hong¡¯s body went stiff and his mouth remained wide open.


    Immediately following that, his body started to freeze into a statue.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that the Eye of Heaven can even increase my eye bloodlines¡¯ power.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze remained in the sky.


    The energy used in that attack was huge and it was several times the norm.


    However, its effect was also very obvious.


    The Eye of Heaven¡¯s merged into the sky and greatly increased the amount of Yuan Qi summoned.


    In that state, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level state had exceeded his normal limit.


    ¡°Human, my origin power is quickly fading.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s sad voice sounded.


    ¡°There are losses when there are rewards. Didn¡¯t I just finish off a late stage True Lord Rank?¡±


    Zhao Feng remained unmoved. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn¡¯t dare to attempt this easily but now his mental energy level was stronger than normal early stage True Lord Ranks and had the support of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    In this process, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye quickly absorbed the Wood Spirit Essence Soul¡¯s power.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was replenished and gained comprehension from the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    In just a few breaths, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul had increased rapidly.


    ¡°The Wood Spirit Essence Soul indeed lives up to its name of being beneficial for those at the Origin Core Realm trying to comprehend the path into the Void God Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was overfilled with happiness.


    Near the ground.


    ¡°Brother Li Hong!¡±


    Geniuses from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect exclaimed.


    They had watched the Eye of Heaven shoot out a beam of light and freeze Li Hong into an iceblock.


    ¡°Brother Li Hong¡­¡±


    Everyone yelled and melted the ice that was freezing him but Li Hong didn¡¯t have any reactions.


    The aura of life on his body hadn¡¯t been fully lost, but he had no reaction.


    ¡°The extreme cold attack has frozen his mind for eternity. Unless a King at the Void God Realm arrives, no one can save him.¡±


    Chi Gui took in a cold breath.


    No one probably could¡¯ve survived that move just then.


    Li Hong at the late stage True Lord Rank was finished with one look of eye and even Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er only had a 50% chance of surviving.


    The hearts of the geniuses instantly were shaken and some even bowed down in respect to the Eye in the Heaven.


    ¡°Everyone relax. This method can¡¯t be used multiple times.¡±


    Chi Gui was pretty certain. He had lost almost all his battle power and Zhao Feng probably wouldn¡¯t waste any energy to finish him.


    Now.


    Of the six True Lord Ranks, only four had the ability to battle. Chi Gui and Li Hong both couldn¡¯t do much.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    ¡°Retreat out of this canyon.¡±


    Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er exchanged glances as they glanced deeply at the Eye of Heaven before retreating quickly.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven disappeared from the clouds.


    Wu~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as his consciousness returned back to his body.


    The move just then had lasted only several breaths but 30-40% of his eye bloodline energy had been used and this was with the Wood Spirit Essence Soul supporting him.


    Under normal situations, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t use it so easily.


    ¡°Human, one-third of my Wood Spirit Essence Soul was used just then.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao was half worried and half happy.


    It was happy that the True Lord Ranks from the three sects had been weakened by over half, but sad that a lot of energy was used.


    The value of one-third of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul was immeasurable.


    A part of it was absorbed by Zhao Feng while another part was used.


    Right at this moment.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, the Ruins Treasured Palace was going to descend soon but there¡¯s a piece of bad news. Lu Tianyi who ranks first of the ten True Lord Ranks is approaching.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s voice sounded in his mind.


    Lu Tianyi.


    Zhao Feng heart moved. This person was the strongest genius amongst those that had entered the Ruins and apparently, his cultivation had reached the half step Origin Core Realm.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and saw a slightly fat lazy figure approaching the mysterious canyon several hundred miles away.


    The weird wind outside the mysterious canyon was enough to block the footsteps of the True Lord Rank.


    The lazy youth waved his hand.


    Boom!


    A golden palm ripped open a path through the winds of the mysterious canyon.


    ¡°The strongest winds there can even rip apart True Lord Ranks, but this person just ripped through them.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. A casual move from the youth created power surpassing the True Lord Rank. It was even stronger than Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°Brother Lu!¡± The retreating disciples from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect exclaimed.


    Lu Tianyi.


    The geniuses from the Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace were full of wary and respect.

 433 Soul

    Shua!


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s figure flashed into the canyon and his brilliance of Yuan Qi made the Towering Tree Yao nearby sense it and curse.


    ¡°Human, it looks like we can¡¯t escape this.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s bitter voice sounded.


    Zhao Feng knew that Lu Tianyi¡¯s arrival gave the Towering Tree Yao a sense of danger.


    If the Towering Tree Yao were at its peak, it might be able to fight Lu Tianyi but after being hit by the Void God Protection, its main trunk was revealed.


    Furthermore, the Towering Tree Yao had used a lot of its Wood spirit Essence Soul in facing the attacks of the three sects so its strength had dropped.


    ¡°This Lu Tianyi is indeed strong. He might have the ability to challenge those at the Void God Realm and is someone I can¡¯t handle.¡± Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    Before this, Zhao Feng had injured more than half of the ten True Lord Ranks but this was mainly because he had the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s protection.


    In a one on one battle, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have much confidence to face Ye Yanyu or Zhuang Wan¡¯er. After all, the battle power of these two were at least comparable to the Iron Blood Religion¡¯s Deputy Patriarch and they could challenge normal half step Origin Core Realm.


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s strength had reached another level. Through his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s inspection, Zhao Feng saw that Lu Tianyi¡¯s every action contained the force of the earth.


    It was because of this the weird wind could be ripped apart by Lu Tianyi casually.


    Both Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er couldn¡¯t do this.


    ¡°Brother Tree, we don¡¯t have to fight someone that we can¡¯t. The ruins Treasured Palace will appear soon. You just need to give all your support and leave the rest to me.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was still calm, but at the same time, he felt a danger.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the Ruins Treasured Palace would definitely descend, Zhao Feng would have run away ages ago. Staying behind would only mean death.


    Fighting Lu Tianyi and the other True Lord Ranks was similar to challenging an Origin core Realm Sovereign.


    What was the difference between courting death and challenging a Sovereign?


    ¡°Human, you¡¯ve already brought me too many surprises. Hopefully, you can keep on doing so.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s emotions stabilized as he circulated his Wood spirit Essence Soul to support Zhao Feng.


    At this moment in time, it couldn¡¯t care less about how much energy was used. After all, it was better than being wiped off this planet.


    At this same time, Lu Tianyi met up with the geniuses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    Seeing the figures of the three sects Lu Tianyi was stunned: ¡°What happened?¡±


    In the ten True Lord Ranks, apart from him, number two and three were also here.


    The losses of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect angered Lu Tianyi.


    Amongst the three sects, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect lost the most.


    Yu Luo had died, Li Hong was the same as dead and there were other True Lord Ranks and True Mystic Ranks that died.


    ¡°Brother Lu, you came just at the right time. Killing that brat will be almost certain.¡±


    Ye Yanyu was overjoyed.


    Lu Tianyi was now even more surprised. The usually calm Sister Ye was full of killing intent.


    Soon, Ye Yanyu told the truth to Lu Tianyi.


    ¡°Such a thing happened!?¡±


    Hearing this, Lu Tianyi was enraged.


    When have the Core disciples of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect been humiliated to such a degree?


    ¡°You relax. Wait for me to kill that bastard.¡±


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s laziness disappeared as his two eyes became as bright as the moon. There were lines of blood in them and he seemed like the God of Killing.


    At this instance, Lu Tianyi sensed something and looked up towards the sky.


    Shua!


    A blue eye had appeared in the sky and seemed to exist with the heavens and earth as it looked down coldly at him.


    ¡°This is the that bastard¡¯s eye bloodline? I¡¯ve never seen or heard of anything like it.¡±


    Lu Tianyi jumped up in fright. He thought that this was the descendant of one of the God Eyes.


    If it were a true inheritor of the Eight Great God Eyes, even Lu Tianyi would be solemn.


    At this point in time, the eye in the cloud gazed down coldly and released an indescribable pressure.


    Apart from Lu Tianyi, every other person felt a deep pressure.


    After all, the mental energy of Zhao Feng himself had reached the late stage True Lord Rank and he had the support of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    ¡°His intent isn¡¯t much different from mine, but it has something I can¡¯t seem to understand.¡±


    Lu Tianyi stood still and his eyes were like gold moons that ruled supreme.


    Although he didn¡¯t move, a whirlpool of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi surrounded him and brought an irresistible power of nature with him.


    Destroy!


    A brilliant gold moon appeared in Lu Tianyi¡¯s palm and shot towards the sky.


    The geniuses of the three sects all held their breaths as they revealed stunned expressions.


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s move just then had the power to easily destroy a village and even the aura from the Eye of Heaven was suppressed.


    Shuu----


    The gold moon brought a destructive power over the area where the Eye of Heaven was at and everywhere within three to four miles was enveloped.


    Even the Towering Tree Yao sensed the trembling and the whistling of Yuan Qi made its branches shake.


    After everything was over. Although the clouds in the sky were broken, the Eye of Heaven was still perfectly fine and looked down at Lu Tianyi with playfulness.


    ¡°Lu Tianyi, this eye is a void existence and attacks under the Void God Realm can¡¯t truly destroy it. The simplest way is to kill that bastard.¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s weak voice sounded. Lu Tianyi¡¯s attack was very strong, but it was used wrongly and was no different from attacking the air.


    Unless it was an expert specializing in the Dao of the Soul or had an eye bloodline comparable to Zhao Feng¡¯s, it would be extremely hard to destroy the Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°Interesting.¡± Lu Tianyi wasn¡¯t very surprised.


    The Eye of Heaven had given him a feeling that it couldn¡¯t be destroyed, but Lu Tianyi wouldn¡¯t give up so easily.


    After that, he sent another couple of attacks into the Eye of Heaven making the geniuses nearby tremble.


    However, all of these attempts ended in failure.


    The Eye of Heaven could still be seen and brought more pressure upon them.


    ¡°Ridiculous.¡±


    Lu Tianyi couldn¡¯t hold it back any longer. He couldn¡¯t stand being looked down upon by an eye.


    ¡°Brother Lu, quickly go and kill that bastard. Zhao Feng still hasn¡¯t retreated after seeing you arrive. I¡¯m worried something will happen.¡±


    Ye Yanyu felt uneasy.


    This was an instinct that came from interacting with Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Ok, I¡¯ll go kill that bastard now.¡±


    Lu Tianyi nodded his head. He would only somewhat listen to Ye Yanyu as the two were both disciples of Kings at the Void God Realm and in terms of talent, Ye Yanyu was younger than him and her future wasn¡¯t below his.


    Shua!


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s figure flashed as he charged towards the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s direction.


    The geniuses of the three sects felt their eyes blur and Lu Tianyi had only flown by half a mile.


    Even Zhao Feng who was looking in the sky was frightened.


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s speed was too fast and only needed ten steps or so to arrive here.


    Eye of Ice Soul!


    The Eye of Heaven suddenly shot out a beam of light towards Lu Tianyi.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Lu Tianyi found that his actions became slower and a coldness entered his mind, trying to freeze his thoughts.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Ice Soul summoned the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and instantly everything around Lu Tianyi became covered in ice.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use the Ice Soul Shooting Line this time because the Eye of Ice Soul could decrease Lu Tianyi¡¯s movement speed and Zhao Feng knew that the Ice Soul Shooting Line or Lightning fire God¡¯s Eye wouldn¡¯t be able to injured Lu Tianyi much as the latter¡¯s mental energy level was at the half step Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Hehe, no one can stop my footsteps.¡± Lu Tianyi laughed lightly as the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi around him howled.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Ice Soul was enough to freeze normal True Lord Ranks and slow them down. Under a long time, they would become similar to what happened to Li Hong.


    However, Lu Tianyi wasn¡¯t harmed at all.


    The only effect was that his speed was slowed down.


    ¡°His mental energy level is higher than mine and half a Soul protecting item.¡±


    Zhao Feng saw very clearly with his Eye of Heaven.


    It wasn¡¯t rare for prodigies such as Lu Tianyi, Ye Yanyu, and Zhuang Wan¡¯er to have protective items.


    Under normal situations, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really want to use mental energy attacks against those with strong mental energy and good soul protecting items.


    ¡°I can only stop Lu Tianyi by doing this.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    At the same time, the Towering Tree Yao sensed Zhao Feng¡¯s intentions and poured a pure wave of essence soul into Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy world.


    Under the Eye of Heaven¡¯s state, Zhao Feng quickly absorbed the power of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul and stored a little bit within his god¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Hmm?


    Lu Tianyi found that his thoughts were becoming slower and the power from the Eye of Ice Soul was becoming stronger.


    The pressure from the Eye of Heaven was increasing.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng received help from the Towering Tree Yao and in just a few breaths, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul surpassed normal peak True Lord Ranks.


    In terms of mental energy strength, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t too far off Lu Tianyi.


    Of course, in terms of real mental energy level, Zhao Feng was still at the late stage True Lord Rank.


    All of this was because of the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s biggest treasure - the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    Even Sovereigns at the Origin Core Realm would find this helpful.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had absorbed, stored and used more than one-third of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul from the beginning to now.

 434 Battle across the Air

    Purple Saint Ruins.


    Within a densely populated area of branches.


    Zhao Feng seemed to be a shell without a soul. His face was expressionless, but his blue hair waved in the air.


    Next to him was a blood silver corpse with a savage expression. Its aura was comparable to the early stage True Lord Rank and it was like a loyal guard.


    However, at this point in time, this True Lord Rank blood silver ghost corpse trembled uneasily.


    Even the Towering Tree Yao protecting the two sighed in despair.


    Several miles away.


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s slightly fat and lazy figure closed in step by step. His every movement and action caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within several hundred miles to whistle and caused the wind to howl.


    Every time he took a step he would move forward half a mile.


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s level had surpassed normal True Lord Ranks and everyone present was stunned.


    Those from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect raised their heads proudly with expectation.


    Ye Yanyu was amongst the group and murmured to herself: ¡°With Brother Lu here, even the Towering Tree Yao can¡¯t protect Zhao Feng.¡±


    In terms of strength, Brother Lu wasn¡¯t much off the Towering Tree Yao.


    However, the Towering Tree Yao was injured and its strength wasn¡¯t even half of its peak battle power and had a very obvious flaw.


    Thinking up to here, Ye Yanyu looked up at the sky.


    In the clouds.


    A large blue air looked coldly down at the earth.


    The existence of the Eye of Heaven brought an uneasiness and pressure on the disciples of the three sects. Even the True Lord Ranks felt it hard to resist the Eye of Heaven.


    Unknowingly, Ye Yanyu felt uneasy as long as ¡®it¡¯ was still there.


    Suddenly, Lu Tianyi¡¯s footsteps paused and slowed down.


    The mental energy pressure and coldness reached an entirely new level.


    The disciples of the three sects hiccuped and everyone that looked into the eye felt a coldness enter their mental energy world.


    ¡°Everyone watch out! Don¡¯t look at the eye.¡± Chi Gui exclaimed in a deep tone.


    At this point in time, the power that the Eye of Heaven displayed was something that he could only look up to and the person facing this Eye of Heaven head-on was Lu Tianyi.


    The remaining geniuses of the three sects were only slightly affected and they were several miles away.


    However, even then normal True Lord Ranks didn¡¯t dare to look at the Eye of Heaven in the air.


    Before their senses were restricted, the disciples of the three sects couldn¡¯t even see Zhao Feng and the only thing they see was this Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡­. Hiding in the back but can use this method to fight the disciples of the three sects.¡±


    Chi Gui took a deep breath.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t focusing on them but on Lu Tianyi.


    Zhao Feng at this time had his soul strengthened and much even stronger than normal peak True Lord Ranks.


    At this critical moment, the Towering Tree Yao supported him without limitation.


    Under the Eye of Heaven state, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye quickly absorbed the Wood Spirit Essence Soul and allowed his soul to increase rapidly.


    ¡°Kid¡­ don¡¯t let me come near you."


    Lu Tianyi roared as killing intent materialized in his golden moon eyes. However, his thoughts and body seemed to have fallen into a freezing pond and he was extremely slow and stiff.


    Every action of his would take several times longer than before.


    What made Lu Tianyi infuriated was that although he had unparalleled battle power, he hadn¡¯t even seen what the opponent looked like.


    Fighting across the air was the Eye of Heaven¡¯s best ability.


    Anywhere the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see, the Eye of Heaven could appear.


    The legendary ¡®killing people from a thousand miles away¡¯ was a reality to Zhao Feng.


    Furthermore, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was full of unblockable methods.


    The disciples of the three sects at the back looked at Lu Tianyi¡¯s progress in shock. He would take a step then pause for a while as he slowly approached the Towering Tree Yao.


    This was an invisible clash of powers.


    Every step Lu Tianyi took, victory became one step closer.


    ¡°If Lu Tianyi gets close, I won¡¯t be able to fight back.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness was in the sky as he looked down. His mental energy level had barely reached a level where he could fight Lu Tianyi.


    However, in terms of battle power, Lu Tianyi almost had the ability to challenge those at the Origin Core Realm. At least the Iron Blood Religion Deputy Patriarch and Grand Elder of the Imperials weren¡¯t his match.


    Once Lu Tianyi got close, Zhao Feng would be in danger.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng¡¯s target wasn¡¯t fighting Lu Tianyi and the disciples of the three sects.


    It was already a miracle for him to push a hundred disciples of the three sects back and slay many of the ten True Lord Ranks.


    Go----


    Zhao Feng ordered the blood silver corpse next to him to charge out.


    Although he was trying his best, Lu Tianyi was still getting closer.


    Sou!


    When Lu Tianyi got close around to a hundred to two hundred yards, the blood silver True Lord Rank ghost corpse lept out.


    ¡°Dammit, this brat¡­..¡±


    Chi Gui¡¯s expression was slightly ugly as this ghost corpse not long ago was his.


    Seeing the True Lord Rank ghost corpse charge over, Lu Tianyi only faintly looked at it and didn¡¯t put it into his eyes.


    Although he was restricted by the Eye of Ice Soul, normal True Lord Ranks could still be able to be killed by a flick of his fingers.


    Eye of Illusion!


    The Eye of Heaven suddenly released a surge of mental energy into the air.


    Lu Tianyi felt as if the Eye of Heaven extended to the other side of the world.


    Shua!


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s heart shook and he now stood in a limitless area filled with ice.


    A prison of lightning and ice held him captive and chain after chain bounded him as his body kept on constricting.


    ¡°You¡¯re that Zhao Feng¡­.¡±


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s gold eyes constricted as he looked at the blue haired youth in front of him.


    Even since their first clash, this was the first time he had seen the opponent and it was still a blurry one.


    No one knew whether it was intentional or not, but Lu Tianyi still couldn¡¯t see Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    This meant that Lu Tianyi hadn¡¯t seen the true Zhao Feng yet, but the opponent knew what he looked like.


    Thinking up to here, Lu Tianyi felt how terrifying this person was. No wonder he could force the disciples of three sects to retreat and the ten True Lord Ranks to team up.


    Break!


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s golden eyes glittered as a surge of sharp intent broke through Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Illusion.


    ¡°What a powerful mental energy intent. It broke through my Eye of Illusion directly.¡±


    Zhao Feng was moved as he looked down.


    He had only felt such a similar intent from Yu Tianhao.


    Although Lu Tianyi¡¯s mental energy intent wasn¡¯t as unique as Yu Tianhao¡¯s, his mental energy level and cultivation was much higher.


    At the same time, the blood silver corpse lept towards Lu Tianyi.


    Ice Soul Shooting Line!


    A ray of cold light hit Lu Tianyi.


    Huang!


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s figure faintly shook as a powerful ray of cold force shot into his soul.


    Under the Eye of Heaven¡¯s state, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level and power reached a maximum.


    Because of the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s limitless support, Zhao Feng could last up to now and keep on fighting.


    Attack!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. This was a perfect opportunity for the blood silver corpse to attack Lu Tianyi.


    At this instance. Lu Tianyi was hit by the Ice Soul Shooting Line and his body froze, unable to react.


    Shuu-----


    The blood silver corpse opened its mouth and bit towards Lu Tianyi.


    Huang!


    A faint golden Qi of True Spirit suddenly opened and sent the blood silver corpse flying.


    Crack!


    One of the corpse''s arms broke and its body almost split into two.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­. It can¡¯t even break through the Qi of True spirit protection.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart became solemn. Lu Tianyi was first imprisoned by the Eye of Illusion for a short instant and then hit by the Ice Soul Shooting Line and this opportunity was grasped perfectly by the blood silver corpse.


    All of this timing was captured perfectly by Zhao Feng but he didn¡¯t think that the blood silver corpse couldn¡¯t even break Lu Tianyi¡¯s protective Qi of True Spirit and almost broke instead.


    From this, one could see how strong Lu Tianyi¡¯s battle power was. He had almost reached the Origin Core Realm level. No wonder he could survive from being pursued by a beast at the Origin Core Realm.


    Destroy!


    Lu Tianyi waved his palm and the blood silver corpse was blasted to smithereens by a flash of a golden moon.


    Boom!


    The True Lord Rank blood silver corpse shattered and a powerful wave of golden air swept across everything within a mile to two miles radius and even to where Zhao Feng was at.


    ¡°This bastard¡­. Using my ghost corpse as cannon fodder.¡±


    Chi Gui behind gritted his teeth.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness returned to his body. His face was pale and shook slightly from the powerful gust of golden wind.


    Zhao Feng was expressionless after losing one True Lord Rank ghost corpse.


    Ceng Ceng!


    Two dark silver poison corpses appeared close to Zhao Feng.


    On top of that, a small scorpion the size of a palm appeared on his hand. Its body had dots on it, but its eyes were red and cold.

 435 Little Thieving Cat’s Turn

    This dotted little scorpion was the one that Zhao Feng had found in the cave.


    This youngling scorpion¡¯s bloodline rank wasn¡¯t any weaker than the ancient giant scorpions and it was a varied type whose future was immeasurable.


    ¡°Although this scorpion¡¯s strength can¡¯t threaten those at the True Spirit Realm, its inherited all of the ancient scorpion¡¯s poison and maybe even stronger.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed.


    Theoretically, the poison of the youngling scorpion is able to kill those at the True Spirit Realm, but under the condition that it was able to slice through the opponent¡¯s skin and draw blood first.


    Another advantage of the youngling scorpion was that it was small and easy to be ignored.


    Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    Under normal situations, he would definitely raise this youngling scorpion by himself. It had the chance to become his left and right arms and status only below the little thieving cat.


    Even if Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t raise it himself, he could sell this youngling scorpion like on the Rising Dragon Auction which would sell for a high price.


    However, at this critical moment, Zhao Feng had to make choices.


    He had already lost a True Lord Rank ghost corpse trying to stop Lu Tianyi and win time.


    The loss of the silver blood ghost corpse allowed Zhao Feng to understand Lu Tianyi¡¯s strength more.


    And now Zhao Feng¡¯s two dark silver poison corpses and youngling scorpion might need to be sacrificed.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hesitate too much because the benefits from the Towering Tree Yao was worth far more.


    The Wood Spirit Essence Soul had strengthened Zhao Feng¡¯s soul to the peak True Lord Rank and greatly increased the power of Zhao Feng¡¯s eye. Most of the True Lord Ranks under the Origin Core Realm wouldn¡¯t able to be able to stop Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline.


    Furthermore, even though this was just a temporary rise, the Wood Spirit Essence Soul contained laws of life which were stored by the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    With these benefits, Zhao Feng had a more than ten times higher chance of breaking through to the Origin Core Realm than other normal True Lord Ranks.


    Compared with this, the loss of one or two True Lord Rank ghost corpses or the youngling scorpion was nothing.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were calm and made decisive choices.


    Miao Miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly appeared on his shoulder. Its size was only slightly bigger than the youngling scorpions.


    ¡°You want to attack?¡±


    Zhao Feng communicated with the little thieving cat.


    At this moment in time, Lu Tianyi had recovered and was closing in on the Towering Tree Yao. He thrust out his palm and a golden glow appeared which smashed through branches.


    Booom Peng!


    The Towering Tree Yao waved its branches chaotically as it fought back and tried to stop Lu Tianyi¡¯s footsteps.


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s target wasn¡¯t the Towering Tree Yao but Zhao Feng who was in the depths of the branches.


    Amongst the Ten True Lord Ranks, probably only Lu Tianyi had the strength to charge into the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s territory and try to slay Zhao Feng alone.


    ¡°Human, I can¡¯t stop him for much longer.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s helpless and puffing voice sounded.


    Due to the loss of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, its battle power was only half of its peak and couldn¡¯t stop Lu Tianyi.


    Eye of Ice Soul!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness once again disappeared from his body as a large blue eye appeared in the skies that looked down coldly and locked onto Lu Tianyi.


    Siiii-----


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s figure trembled as his mind and body slowed down.


    Miao Miao!


    The little thieving cat disappeared from Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder.


    Shua Shua!


    Along with it¡¯s, disappearance was the youngling scorpion.


    The two dark silver poison corpses stood on Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right and didn¡¯t attack.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, it¡¯s up to you.¡±


    Zhao Feng coldly gazed down at Lu Tianyi with his Eye of Ice Soul.


    Under this state, the Eye of Ice Soul¡¯s power was greatly increased and was able to slow down Lu Tianyi.


    What made Zhao Feng surprised was that the little thieving cat not only could make itself invisible, it could also make the youngling scorpion invisible.


    Although Zhao Feng had the Yin Shadow Cloak, an inheritance treasure which could stealth himself, it was limited to himself and couldn¡¯t make others invisible with him.


    From this one could see that as the little thieving cat grew, its abilities also became stronger.


    Zhao Feng was expectant of what the little thieving cat would do to try and stop or slow down Lu Tianyi¡¯s footsteps.


    From the current situation, it was almost impossible to kill Lu Tianyi.


    From the beginning to end, Zhao Feng focused on the words ¡®slow down¡¯, and tried his best to slow down Lu Tianyi¡¯s approach.


    Through the Eye of Heaven, Zhao Feng was able to faintly catch traces of the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion which were invisible.


    ¡°It¡¯s almost impossible for those under the Origin Core Realm to detect the little thieving cat.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. It could be said that the little thieving cat was a natural thief that thrived in darkness.


    Probably only Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could counter the little thieving cat¡¯s talent.


    Even when the little thieving cat was within twenty yards of Lu Tianyi, the latter didn¡¯t realize anything.


    At this instance, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart tightened.


    Twenty yards¡­ fifteen yards¡­. Ten yards¡­. The little thieving cat took the youngling scorpion and closed in on Lu Tianyi.


    Only when the little thieving cat was five or six yards away did Lu Tianyi seem to detect something.


    After all, his cultivation had reached the half step Origin Core Realm and had almost exceeded the True Spirit Realm. Even though he was locked on by the Eye of Ice Soul he sensed something.


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s actions didn¡¯t escape Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. He knew how terrifying Lu Tianyi was and just the circulation of his protecting Qi of True Spirit was able to kill some weaker True Lords.


    At this point, all Lu Tianyi needed to do was release his Qi of True Spirit and it was enough to kill the little thieving cat and the youngling scorpion.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s true battle power was at most only close to the True Lord Rank and specialized in its talent and abilities.


    Sou!


    The little thieving cat and youngling scorpion suddenly revealed themselves and charged at Lu Tianyi.


    Five yards¡­ four yards¡­ three yards¡­


    The little thieving cat quickly closed in.


    The youngling scorpion¡¯s speed obviously wasn¡¯t as fast as the little thieving cat¡¯s but the latter had used its Mystic Snake Blood Whip to wrap around the youngling scorpion and quickly flew towards Lu Tianyi.


    The distance of four to five yards was less than half a breath for the little thieving cat.


    Facing the sudden appearance of the little thieving cat, Lu Tianyi wasn¡¯t able to dodge or evade as he was locked on by the Eye of Ice Soul.


    ¡°Hmph, another coming to die.¡±


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s mouth curled in mockery. He didn¡¯t even think about evading because his speed was decreased and his protective Qi of True Spirit was still there.


    Once the little thieving cat and the youngling scorpion got close Lu Tianyi could kill the two just with his protective Qi of True Spirit.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, you should know that you can¡¯t break through Lu Tianyi¡¯s defense with your power.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye still remained in the sky and looked down.


    Sou! Xiu---


    As the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion arrived in front of Lu Tianyi.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Lu Tianyi was ready and released his Qi of True Spirit into a golden wave of light that swept across dozens of yards, enough to kill normal True Lord Ranks.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart reached his throat.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely precise in analyzing strength: the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion had no power to fight back against Lu Tianyi.


    Putting them aside, even Zhao Feng might be instantly killed by Lu Tianyi if the latter got close.


    Boom!!!!


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s boy released a surge of gold light that turned the leaves and branches of the Towering Tree Yao into dust.


    The area surrounding Lu Tianyi seemed to have evaporated and the Towering Tree Yao moaned powerlessly at the same time.


    ¡°Little thieving cat!¡±


    Ye Yanyu who was spectating from behind exclaimed with an ugly expression.


    She had a special feeling towards the little thieving cat even if it had teamed up with Zhao Feng and calculated her.


    She felt unwilling and sad at the little thieving cat¡¯s death.


    ¡°Bastard Zhao Feng, how can you be so cold-hearted to send the little thieving cat to its death?¡±


    Ye Yanyu bit her lips and looked at the Eye of Heaven in the sky.


    The Eye of Heaven was just a larger version of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    At this instance, the Eye of Heaven was cold and emotionless. It was as if the death of the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion didn¡¯t bring any emotion into Zhao Feng.


    The Eye of Heaven still released a cold energy that locked onto Lu Tianyi.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­.. You can send all the cannon fodder you have.¡±


    Lu Tianyi laughed.


    Although his speed was limited, he still approached Zhao Feng bit by bit.


    Faintly.


    Lu Tianyi saw a blue-haired youth in the depths of the branches. It seemed soulless and didn¡¯t move.


    Next to the blue haired youth were two dark silver poison corpses.


    A gruesome smile appeared on Lu Tianyi¡¯s face as he started to laugh.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, the Ruins Treasured Palace will descend in three breaths.¡±


    A soft voice of a female sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and let out a breath.


    From this moment onwards, in the count of three, the Ruins Treasured palace would descend and Zhao Feng¡¯s mission would be complete.


    However, Lu Tianyi would definitely be able to get close to Zhao Feng in three breaths time.


    Zhao Feng estimated that even if he survived the two dark silver poison corpses wouldn¡¯t be able to.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ no matter how cold and calculating you are, you still can¡¯t escape death.¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s face was filled with cold killing intent. She then saw the calm Eye in the sky which didn¡¯t have any panic at all.


    The Eye of Heaven even had mockery within it.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, you are indeed smart.¡±


    A sound reverberated across the mental energy dimension.


    In the next instant.


    Miao Miao!


    A small grey cat the size of a palm appeared right in front of Lu Tianyi.


    What?


    How is this possible?


    The geniuses of the three sects behind all watched with bulging eyes.


    Immediately following that.


    Sou!


    The youngling scorpion was flung out by the little thieving cat¡¯s whip and went straight into Lu Tianyi¡¯s laughing mouth.

 436 Purple Saint Treasured Palace

    ¡°Wu¡­.¡±


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s smile instantly froze and his mouth was wide open as if he had choked on something.


    The geniuses of the three sects all looked on with disbelief.


    Miao Miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its Mystic Snake Blood Whip and pulled away from Lu Tianyi.


    ¡°How is this possible? How can a cat survive Lu Tianyi¡¯s blast of Qi of True Spirit?¡±


    ¡°Even those at the True Lord Rank would die. How would the little thieving cat and youngling scorpion disappear then reappear?¡±


    The people present couldn¡¯t believe their eyes.


    Just a moment before, the two had been killed by Lu Tianyi¡¯s last of Qi of True Spirit and now the two had reappeared.


    The youngling scorpion had inherited the bloodline of the ancient scorpion and it was a variant. Theoretically, its poison could kill most True Spirit Realms and in reality, it was more destructive than imagined.


    If the youngling scorpion had only drawn blood from Lu Tianyi, the poison would take time to enter the latter¡¯s body. However, the youngling scorpion had gone into Lu Tianyi¡¯s body and if the poison was released into the body directly, then its power would be several times stronger and would act instantly.


    If it was just this, then it wouldn¡¯t be too bad since the youngling scorpion was still different to the true ancient scorpion and Lu Tianyi had half stepped into the Origin Core Realm so could resist some of the poison from the scorpion.


    However, the position of the youngling scorpion was also unique.


    ¡°Wu¡­ cough cough¡­.¡±


    One of Lu Tianyi¡¯s hands held onto his throat. His face grimaced in pain and beads of sweat dropped from his face and his face went green and purple.


    ¡°Dammit, the youngling scorpion is stuck in Brother Lu¡¯s throat!¡±


    Som disciples from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect exclaimed.


    Hearing this, all the geniuses from the three sects were stunned.


    Organs and the throat were all vital points for both experts at the True Spirit Realm and Origin Core Realm.


    Once the organs or throat were critically injured, even those at the True Lord Rank would die and this youngling scorpion was perfectly stuck in Lu Tianyi¡¯s throat.


    The release of poison in the throat was more than ten times more devastating than in the skin.


    ¡°Brother Lu!¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s expression changed as she turned into a streak of moonlight that sped towards Lu Tianyi.


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s figure shook in the air and his eyes were full of hate and killing intent.


    ¡°Die¡­!¡±


    He managed to circulate his Qi of True Spirit and thrust out towards the little thieving cat.


    Miao Miao!


    The little thieving cat seemed to be ready for this and disappeared without a trace.


    The eye in the clouds was filled with mockery.


    Ice Soul Shooting Line!


    The Eye of Heaven shot out a beam of cold light that hit Lu Tianyi¡¯s body.


    Sou!


    Using this chance, the little thieving cat disappeared into the branches of the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Nice job!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness returned to his body and smiled faintly with a pale face.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s performance just then was stunning and it forced Lu Tianyi into a situation of life and death.


    At this moment, the poison in Lu Tianyi¡¯s body activated and caused his body to spasm.


    ¡°Brother Lu!¡±


    Ye Yanyu was the first to arrive and supported Lu Tianyi.


    After that, Zhuang Wan¡¯er and others flew over and surrounded Lu Tianyi.


    Lu Tianyi was only able to last two to three breaths before fainting.


    Following Li Hong, the second True Lord Rank of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect fainted and this time it was the strongest True Lord Rank, Lu Tianyi.


    All of this was done by the blue haired youth outsider.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you killed so many disciples including Yu Luo and even Brother Li and Brother Lu are injured¡­. The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect won¡¯t let you go.¡±


    Ye Yanyu bit her lips so hard that it started to bleed and her face became twisted from the immense killing intent.


    However, Ye Yanyu still held onto her mind to make sure she wasn¡¯t affected by Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline.


    In reality, fighting this long had exhausted most of Zhao Feng¡¯s energy and he didn¡¯t dare to overuse his bloodline.


    The Eye of Heaven was already retracted back.


    ¡°Human, your display has surprised me. Although over half of my Wood Spirit Essence Soul has been used, I¡¯m still lucky to survive.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao let out a breath.


    After this fierce battle, Zhao Feng and the Towering Tree Yao had won.


    At this moment in time.


    Weng~~


    A faint tremble sounded from above the Towering Tree Yao and a dream-like mist started to condense at the gap of the Towering Tree Yao.


    The sound of music resounded across the air and in just a few breaths a purple palace started to form. It gave off a light that lit up the skies and clouds.


    ¡°That¡¯s..??!!¡±


    The hearts of the geniuses from the three sects shook as they stared at the condensing purple palace.


    ¡°Ruins Treasured Palace!!¡±


    ¡°The Purple Night Saint Lord¡¯s ground of inheritance - the Ruins Treasured Palace!¡±


    The geniuses all revealed looks of overwhelming joy.


    Huang!


    The purple mist perfectly descended in the gap of the Towering Tree Yao and a wicked blue haired youth stood right in front of the gap, which was the entrance of the purple saint treasured palace.


    ¡°He¡­¡±


    ¡°This was all a plan!¡±


    The three sects looked at this scene and wanted to vomit blood.


    It was as if Zhao Feng was waiting for the purple saint treasured palace to descend right in front of him.


    ¡°See you later.¡±


    A cold smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth as his figure passed through the mist and disappeared.


    ¡°The appearance of the purple saint treasured palace is extremely short. Quick!¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er was the first to fly through the air and into the mist.


    In reality, the Ruins Treasured Palace descended to protect the Towering Tree Yao and it wouldn¡¯t disappear.


    Seeing the Ruins Treasured Palace descend, how would the geniuses have the heart to attack the Towering Tree Yao anymore? All of them charged towards the purple saint treasured palace.


    Sou Sou Sou----


    All of the geniuses used every second they could and flew towards the palace with their fastest speed.


    ¡°Zhao Feng kept on guarding here and stalled for time as if he knew the purple saint treasured palace would descend¡­¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s eyes flashed as she had her guesses.


    The descent of the Ruins Treasured Palace this time was different from usual.


    It had perfectly landed on the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s gap.


    ¡°We¡¯ll first send Brother Lu and Brother Li back to the outside world and bring the elders the news and then we¡¯ll enter the ruins treasured palace.¡±


    Ye Yanyu ordered.


    The geniuses all had their own respective inheritance tokens and as long as they crushed their tokens, they would be able to return to the outside world.


    Soon, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect made two geniuses Lu Tianyi and Li Hong leave.


    Crack crack!


    Lu Tianyi and Li Hong¡¯s inheritance tokens were broken and the two were covered by a flashing silver vortex that devoured them.


    ¡°There are Kings at the Void God Realm outside. Brother Lu and Brother Li might be able to live.¡±


    Only after doing all this did Ye Yanyu fly towards the ruins treasured palace.


    To protect the Towering Tree Yao and block the flaw of the Purple Saint Ruins, the Ruins Treasured Palace stayed where it was and the group of geniuses rushed in.


    This was probably the first time this had happened in history.


    Within an elegant and magnificent hall.


    Shua Shua Shua!


    One figure after another appeared in the hall. They were the geniuses from the three parties and most of them were from the major three sects.


    ¡°The brat¡¯s right in front of us.¡±


    A disciple from the Black Cliff Palace glanced towards the Northern area where a blue-haired youth stood.


    On the shoulder of the blue haired youth was a cat slightly bigger than a palm and it opened its mouth and smiled towards the three parties.


    This human and cat were obviously Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    ¡°Hmm? The youngling scorpion isn¡¯t dead yet?¡±


    Zhao Feng was puzzled. He had signed a blood contract with the youngling scorpion and if the latter died, Zhao Feng would be able to sense it.


    He had given up on the youngling scorpion to defeat Lu Tianyi.


    Zhao Feng thought that the youngling scorpion would almost certainly die but at this instance, the connection between the two suddenly became very weak.


    This was the moment Lu Tianyi and Li Hong left the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Zhao Feng had his own thoughts and started to think.


    Right at this moment, the geniuses of the three sects entered the Ruins Treasured Palace and saw Zhao Feng but Zhuang Wan¡¯er, Chi Gui, and company were filled with wary as they watched Zhao Feng not far away.


    Although they had more people, they were cautious of this outsider.


    Zhao Feng stood on the ground and didn¡¯t bother with them.


    A voice sounded in his mind: ¡°Zhao Feng, I¡¯ll give the Ruins Treasured Palaces¡¯ map to you¡­ It has all the ways to pass through the passages and open the mechanisms.¡±


    The owner of the voice was the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    Shua!


    A map of the palace appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind and on it was entrances and how mechanisms were set out.


    ¡°The Ruins Treasured Palace has three floors. The first floor ¡®Ten Thousand Imagery Treasured Palace¡¯ contains the skills, martial arts, geography and inheritances that the Purple Night Saint Lord had gathered over time and are comparable to normal inheritances. The second is the ¡®Legend Treasured Palace¡¯ which contains inheritances or weapons that represent a legend. The third floor the ¡®Purple Night Treasured Palace¡¯ contains the Purple Night Saint Lord¡¯s own inheritance and Yufei is there¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to copy the map and received a lot of information.


    His senses weren¡¯t restricted in the Purple Saint Ruins and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see through objects. Now he also had the map of the Ruins Treasured Palace and the mechanisms.

 437 Void God Realm King

    Mountains of an island in the limitless ocean.


    There were three indescribable ¡®powers¡¯ that were like three balls of holy light which seemed to suppress gods and demons alike here.


    The golden skeleton was filled with the air of death, the moon robed female was pure and holy while black air surrounded the King of the Wicked path.


    The three Void God Realm Kings seemed to have locked the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby and a pressure from the soul suppressed the living beings nearby.


    As time passed, the screen in front of the mountain started to change and all of the experts including the three Kings at the Void God Realm stared at the image of a mysterious canyon.


    Slowly but steadily, the expressions of the three Void God Realms became solemn.


    The appearance of the Eye of Heaven changed the expressions of the three kings and when Lu Tianyi arrived, the experts present started to cheer him on.


    However, after the battle with the Eye of Heaven and the little thieving cat¡¯s miraculous ability, it was unknown whether Lu Tianyi was alive or dead and the atmosphere dropped.


    ¡°That little cat has the ¡®spatial escape¡¯ talent.¡±


    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong in that instance, the cat hid within Lu Tianyi¡¯s interspatial ring.¡±


    The golden skeleton and Wicked Path King looked at each other with surprise.


    After all, these two were at the Void God realm and had guesses just by seeing a blurry image.


    Lu Tianyi was poisoned and his state was unknown. The moon robed female had furrowed eyebrows with wary.


    Although Lu Tianyi wasn¡¯t her disciple, Lu Tianyi¡¯s talent and potential was definitely amongst the top in the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    It would be a huge loss for the Sect if they lost such a genius.


    The golden skeleton and Wicked path King were surprised and were gloating.


    In that clash in the mysterious canyon, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect had lost many True Lord Ranks and the casualties of the Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace were less.


    After a while, the images of the screen suddenly became blurry and twisted.


    ¡°Ruins Treasured Palace!¡±


    A couple of the experts present exclaimed.


    The Ruins Treasured Palace had landed exactly where Zhao Feng was at.


    Immediately following that.


    Shua Shua!


    Lu Tianyi and Li Hong were sent back to the outside world into the air above the mountains.


    The expression of the moon robed female changed as she saw Lu Tianyi and Li Hong.


    It was obvious that the situation of the two True Lord Ranks made her even feel slightly troublesome.


    ¡°Rescue Tianyi first.¡±


    The moon robed female lightly waved her hand and an arc of brilliant silver moonlight enveloped Lu Tianyi.


    Wu~


    Lu Tianyi moaned out in pain even though he was unconscious.


    Straight after that.


    Sou!


    A youngling scorpion the size of a palm was restrained in a glow of silver moonlight and landed on the moon robed female¡¯s hand.


    Who knew what method the moon robed goddess aunt had used to take out the scorpion choked in Lu Tianyi¡¯s throat.


    ¡°This youngling scorpion is a rare ancient variation beast.¡±


    The moon robed female restricted the youngling scorpion then took out a crystal bottle and threw out a drop of liquid onto Lu Tianyi¡¯s body.


    ¡°Sacred Spirit Purifying Liquid!¡±


    The golden skeleton and Wicked path King were slightly moved.


    After using the Sacred Spirit Purifying Liquid, the poison in Lu Tianyi¡¯s body was soon removed and he escaped the threat of dying.


    When Lu Tianyi woke up, he told the situation in detail.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, then Zhao Feng knew the time when the Ruins Treasured Palace would descend.¡±


    ¡°Looks like the worst situation has happened. The Purple Saint Partial Spirit has already chosen an inheritor.¡±


    ¡°The inheritor is obviously an outsider.¡±


    The expressions of the three Void God Realm Kings became more and more solemn.


    Zhao Feng was obviously not the inheritor of the Purple Saint Ruins because he didn¡¯t enter the palace first and had waited for a long time.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to guess that Zhao Feng was helping the inheritor of the Ruins and consolidating the flaw of the ruins.


    The worst result was that the Purple Saint Ruins might switch owners.


    ¡°We don¡¯t need to worry too much. If the inheritor can¡¯t break through to the Origin Core Realm within tens of years. then they can¡¯t truly control the Ruins.¡± The golden skeleton said deeply.


    After all, the Purple Saint Ruins was a singular dimension and a True Spirit Realm cultivator wouldn¡¯t be able to fully refine and control it even with the help of the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, our three sects only need to try and waste the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s energy and after all of its energy runs out, we can attack the Purple Saint Ruins without any difficulty.¡±


    The man of the Wicked Path smiled.


    The three Kings had already sensed the change of the Purple Saint Ruins and had their own guesses which weren¡¯t too far away from the truth.


    ¡°The chance of a measly True Mystic Rank reaching the Origin Core Realm within tens of years is extremely low. Even Lu Tianyi of my sect wasn¡¯t able to do so.¡± The moon robed female smiled faintly.


    The difference between the True Spirit Realm and Origin Core Realm was like a chasm that separated heaven and earth.


    For example, the Canopy Great Countries eight major forces had countless True Spirit Realm experts and some True Lord Ranks, but even a country this big didn¡¯t produce an Origin Core Realm within the past hundred years. From this, one could see its difficulty.


    Even in the legendary two-star sects, the number of Origin Core Realms were few and the birth of any was worthy to be celebrated.


    ¡°Furthermore, it¡¯s not like we don¡¯t have any traces as well.¡±


    The moon robed goddess¡¯ eyes flashed.


    Oh?


    The other two Kings at the Void God Realm turned towards the moon robed goddess aunt.


    The moon robed goddess aunt didn¡¯t say anything and instead lifted up the youngling scorpion.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    The golden skeleton and Wicked path King understood.


    The trace was the youngling scorpion.


    Because it was Zhao Feng¡¯s spiritual pet, the two had a connection between them.


    ¡°This ancient variation beast will be raised by the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect. The stronger it is, the more powerful it¡¯s connection with that Zhao Feng is. When its senses are strong enough, we can even detect where his whereabouts.¡±


    The moon robed goddess said and put away the youngling scorpion.


    At the same time, in an elegant hall within the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Zhao Feng and the disciples of the three sects all arrived. The disciples were wary of Zhao Feng and didn¡¯t attack him.


    In reality, after the battle, Zhao Feng had exhausted a lot of energy and didn¡¯t dare to overuse the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, the freezing pond had extended up to nine yards wide and reached a bottleneck.


    Zhao Feng sensed that once the freezing pond passed the ten yards mark the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye might undergo another change and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t imagine what changes there would be.


    Shua!


    The Yin Shadow Cloak flapped and Zhao Feng¡¯s figure disappeared.


    Only Zhuang Wan¡¯er and a small number of True Lord Ranks were able to faintly see where Zhao Feng went.


    ¡°Even if this Zhao Feng doesn¡¯t use his eye bloodline, his strength is stronger than normal True Lord Ranks.¡±


    The disciples of the three sects let out a breath.


    ¡°Everyone act as they see fit.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s figures flashed as well as she headed towards the Northern exit. Her target was Zhao Feng.


    The reason why she did this wasn¡¯t that of just instinct but also her analysis.


    Following Zhao Feng might result in unexpected benefits.


    ¡°This chick¡¯s following me and not letting me go. She has no sign of any killing intent at all.¡±


    Zhao Feng moved through the complex hall by following the map of the Purple saint Treasured Palace but he still couldn¡¯t shake off Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s strength was comparable to Ye Yanyu¡¯s and was she stronger than the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion.


    Without the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to overuse the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and his battle power wasn¡¯t enough to beat her.


    Soon after Zhao Feng and Zhuang Wan¡¯er disappeared, Ye Yanyu stepped into the Purple Saint Treasured Palace.


    As time passed, more and more geniuses entered the Purple Saint Treasured Palace. They weren¡¯t just from the three sects but also geniuses from other clans that were subordinates of the three sects.


    Even the three Void God Realm Kings couldn¡¯t see the situation within the Purple Saint Treasure Palace.


    Several days later.


    Shua Shua!


    Two geniuses from the three parties came out from the Purple Saint Treasured Palace. Once they were sent out from the Purple Saint Treasured Palace, they would exit the ruins.


    These geniuses were sullen and disappointed.


    The Ruins Treasured Palace was split into three floors.


    Most of the geniuses only moved around on the Ten Thousand Imagery floor, which was the first floor.


    If they could find a suitable inheritance, the Ten Thousand Imagery Treasured Palace was also full of fortune.


    Ten Thousand Imagery meant that anyone could find a suitable inheritance.


    In the outside world, in the mountains.


    Shua Shua!


    An occasional one or two geniuses would be sent out.


    The number of people that had entered the Ruins Treasured Palace this time was more than the last a hundred times due to the Purple Saint Ruins ¡®change.¡¯


    The three Kings at the Void God Realm watched closely to the change in the Purple Saint Ruins and were almost completely sure that the Purple Saint Ruins had an inheritor who was refining this space.


    When any genius came out, the three Void God Realm King would question them but none of them had seen Zhao Feng after entering the Ruins Treasured Palace.


    In the blink of an eye, two months had passed by.


    The Purple Saint Ruins was coming to an end and most of the geniuses of the three sects had been sent out.


    Only Ye Yanyu, Zhuang Wan¡¯er and a small number of geniuses, as well as Zhao Feng, weren¡¯t sent out yet.


    ¡°If Zhao Feng is sent out¡­. Will he appear in the Tianlu Islands or return to where he came from?¡±


    The moon robed goddess aunt suddenly had a thought. After all, the geniuses entering the Purple Saint Ruins all had their respective inheritance tokens whereas Zhao Feng didn¡¯t.


    At this point in time.


    Azure Flower Continent, Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Two months had passed by and the occasional flash of light would appear on the arena, representing the return of a certain genius.


    Weng~~


    At a certain instance, an ancient azure door appeared in the clouds.


    ¡°It¡¯s the aura of the Heaven Legacy Inheritance!¡±


    The nine Sovereigns and experts of the continent exclaimed.


    Shua!


    A youth stepped out from the Heaven Legacy Inheritance door. His cultivation had reached the early stage True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao!¡±


    Chaos broke out amongst the spectators, but the elders of the Ten Thousand Origin Clan had ugly expressions because Xin Wuheng had also entered the Heaven Legacy Inheritance but the latter hadn¡¯t come out.

 438 Inheritance Ending

    The appearance of Yu Tianhao caught the attention of the entire Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    He had entered the most ancient and mysterious Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    Furthermore, Yu Tianhao was a prodigy that had suppressed two continuous Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s. No one could move his position and only a few such as Zhao Feng had the ability to fight him.


    ¡°The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance is indeed worthy of living up to its name. In just a short two months Yu Tianhao broke through from the peak True Mystic Rank to the early stage True Lord Rank.¡±


    ¡°Yu Tianhao strength is immeasurable and is probably stronger than the True Lord Ranks of the older generation.¡±


    The older generation experts felt the drastic change in Yu Tianhao¡¯s aura.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s eyes were bright and seemed to stand out amongst the skies. The powerful intent from him even made other True Lord Ranks unable to look directly at him.


    The nine Sovereigns of the Sacred Alliance looked expectantly towards Yu Tianhao.


    Even these Sovereigns didn¡¯t have much of a chance to enter the Heavens Legacy Inheritance back in their time.


    ¡°Tianhao had already suppressed his cultivation before the Sacred True Dragon Gathering so it¡¯s only a small surprise for him to have reached the early stage True Lord Rank.¡±


    Sovereign Yu Xingchen smiled and flashed in front of Yu Tianhao.


    This progress in cultivation couldn¡¯t be compared to but someone able to enter the Heavens Legacy Inheritance obviously couldn¡¯t be normal.


    ¡°Tianhao, it¡¯s already a great fortune for you to return safely from the Heavens Legacy Inheritance. What other benefits did you get?¡±


    Yu Xingchen cared most about Yu Tianhao¡¯s rewards.


    There was three main rewards one could get from returning from inheritances:


    The first was an inheritance skill that was from a specific inheritance or expert.


    The second was weapons and resources that may be extinct in the Azure Flower Continent.


    The third was unique encounters that could increase one¡¯s strength, talent and cultivation.


    Weng~~


    After saying this a mysterious mist was released from Sovereign Yu Xingchen which enveloped Yu Tianhao and himself.


    Under this mysterious light even other Sovereigns found it hard to hear what the two talked about.


    Those watching could only see Yu Tianhao talk with his father but even their figures were blurry. However, the joy time after time on Sovereign Yu Xingchen¡¯s face made others certain that Yu Tianhao had received a lot of benefits from the Heavens Legacy Inheritance.


    ¡°Every time the Heavens Legacy Inheritance descends, the situation of the continent will change. To be able to return successfully from the Heavens Legacy Inheritance might allow Yu Tianhao to write down a stroke in the books of history.¡±


    The bronze skinned giant deputy palace lord had praise and expectation on his face.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    Right at this moment several figures from the Ten Thousand Origin Clan closed in on Yu Xingchen and company.


    ¡°En?¡±


    Yu Xingchen¡¯s expression fell and a large aura was released from him that made the True Lord Rank experts of the Ten Thousand Origin Clan unable to breathe.


    ¡°Sovereign, please calm down. We¡¯re elders from the Ten Thousand Origin Clan of the Northern Continent and would like to ask Yu Tianhao some questions.¡±


    A half step Origin Core Realm expert said respectfully.


    Ten Thousand Origin clan?


    Yu Xingchen said these words lightly and felt that this name was somewhat familiar and his expression softened as if he remembered a past expert of this clan.


    The Ten Thousand Origin Clan¡¯s status was only below the Heavenly Yuan Clan in the Northern Continent.


    Without even thinking, Yu Xingchen and Yu Tianhao could guess that the Ten Thousand Origin Clan wanted to know the whereabouts of Xin Wuheng.


    The other person that had entered the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance was Xin Wuheng.


    ¡°I only saw Xin Wuheng once in the inheritance and don¡¯t know where he later went.¡±


    Yu Tianhao said.


    He had sparred with Xin Wuheng before and the latter felt mysterious.


    The only thing was that the geniuses that had entered the Heavens Legacy Inheritance wasn¡¯t limited to the Azure Flower Continent and might be from the outside world.


    Hearing Yu Tianhao¡¯s response, the expressions of the elders of the Ten Thousand Origin Clan were dim.


    If those that entered inheritances didn¡¯t come out, there was most likely an accident.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng may very likely have fallen.¡±


    Yu Tianhao didn¡¯t hold anything back.


    The expressions of those from the Ten Thousand Origin Clan became even uglier and was filled with defeat.


    ¡°But from what I know, there¡¯s another small possibility: the geniuses that enter the Heavens Legacy Inheritance have a slight chance to enter a higher ranked Heaven¡¯s Legacy branch inheritance.¡±


    Yu Tianhao said slowly.


    The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance was split into countless inheritances that fell upon every piece of land.


    Of course.


    The chance that Yu Tianhao had talked about was very small and only appeared in legends.


    At least in the history of the Azure Flower Continent, this had never happened before.


    The elders of the Ten Thousand Origin Clan were slightly expectant but obviously didn¡¯t have much hope and left defeated.


    Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Around the two months period True Dragon geniuses returned from the inheritances.


    Only a part of the geniuses returned from same inheritances. Others had met accidents there.


    Around two and a half months, overwhelming prodigies Shi Chengtian, Goddess Bing Wei, Tantai Lanyue all appeared and had progressed well.


    Amongst them Goddess Bing Wei had broken through to the True Lord Rank and her progress was only below Yu Tianhao¡¯s.


    The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance and Mystic Ice Inheritance had all ended.


    Not long after Cang Yuyue returned from the Seven Sword Inheritance with an air of sharpness. Her cultivation was closing in on the True Lord Rank and her sword intent even made other True Lord Ranks feel pressured.


    In the records of the Azure Flower Continent, the Seven Sword Inheritance was only ranked below the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance and Sword Saint Ye Wuxie had entered it.


    After around the three months time, all the inheritances connected onto the Azure Flower Continent had ended.


    About half of the geniuses had returned including Prince Jin, Wang Xiaoguai, Tian Yunzhi etc from the Canopy Great Country.


    However, Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin had never returned.


    ¡°Qinxin¡­..¡±


    In a corner of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering the Flooding Lake City lord¡¯s eyebrows were furrowed and full of worry.


    The inheritance Liu Qinxin had entered wasn¡¯t a major inheritance but a unique ¡°Sky Saint Qin Inheritance¡± which was extremely rare.


    She was the only one from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering that had entered this inheritance.


    Liu Qinxin didn¡¯t stand out amongst the hundred True Dragon geniuses so the Sovereigns of the Sacred Alliance didn¡¯t pay much attention to her.


    She had most likely been beset with misfortune.


    ¡°Almost all of the inheritances had ended. However, the unknown inheritance which Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei had entered still have no signs of any news.¡±


    The Sovereigns of the Sacred Alliance placed utmost importance on this.


    The unknown inheritance the two had entered was obviously higher ranked than the Heaven¡¯s Legacy branch Inheritance.


    However.


    Almost three months had passed and Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei had not returned.


    ¡°With Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline, his ability to survive should be very high¡­.¡±


    The Sovereigns started to discuss.


    Zhao Feng was the King of Black Horses in this Sacred True Dragon Gathering and a new overwhelming prodigy.


    However, this black horse king had not returned from the unknown inheritance after so long.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­. Does your miracle end here?¡±


    The Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion murmured.


    He had witnessed Zhao Feng¡¯s growth and rise. He didn¡¯t believe Zhao Feng would die so easily.


    Even the Sovereigns believed in Zhao Feng¡¯s ability to survive.


    Although Zhao Feng who had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye might not be able to beat Yu Tianhao in a fight, his survival instincts were definitely stronger.


    Of the five overwhelming prodigies, only Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t returned.


    The Sovereigns of the Sacred Alliance and experts of the continent all cared about this.


    ¡°Looks like this Zhao Feng is only a momentary star that flashed by in the history of this continent.¡±


    The experts of the older generation sighed lightly.


    They had witnessed too many rises and falls and seen many bright geniuses fall.


    As time passed there was less and less people remaining in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    The crowded banquet several months ago had started to cool down.


    At the end only a few such as the Flooding Lake City lord, Iron Blood Religion Deputy Patriarch and company didn¡¯t leave.


    Zhao Feng, Liu Qinxin and Xin Wuheng had not returned.


    ¡°Looks like Yufei¡¯s also met misfortune.¡±


    The upper echelon of the Heavenly Yuan Clan sighed.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­. Yufei has the legendary bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.¡±


    Sovereign Baiyun Dao from the Heavenly Yuan Clan was filled with disbelief.


    He was Zhao Yufei¡¯s master and was expectant and confident of his disciples and kept the ¡®secret¡¯ at heart.


    However.


    After so long the Sacred True Dragon Gathering had already ended but Zhao Yufei hadn¡¯t returned.


    ¡°Grand Elder, the Sacred True Dragon Gathering has already ended. May I ask when are you going back?¡±


    A half step Origin Core Realm elder from the Heavenly Yuan Clan asked respectfully.


    ¡°You can go back first. I¡¯ll wait another few days.¡±


    Baiyun Dao closed his eyes and waved his hand.


    Amongst those from the Heavenly Yuan Clan, Mo Tianyi was about to say something but sighed in his heart: ¡°Zhao Feng, Sister Yufei, I didn¡¯t think that the two of you would both be lost in this unknown inheritance.¡±


    Up to now.


    No one believed that Zhao Feng or Zhao Yufei would come back.


    The Azure Flower Continent understood the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance and Seven Sword Inheritance to a certain degree but no one knew how dangerous the inheritance Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei entered was.


    ¡°Baiyun Dao Sovereign, I¡¯m sorry for your losses.¡±


    One of the Sovereigns shook their head.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch, when are we returning to the great country? That Zhao Feng¡¯s probably already¡­.¡±


    A Protector of the Iron Blood Religion asked.


    ¡°Let¡¯s wait another three days.¡±

 439 Emperor’s Inheritance

    ¡°Let¡¯s wait another three days.¡±


    The blood hair coloured Tiemo¡¯s voice was hoarse and deep as he scanned the ancient arena.


    The ancient arena was dead silent and the magnificient stone statues had fallen into deep sleep. The invisible mental energy power had disappeared.


    Apart from Tiemo, the Flooding Lake City lord also hadn¡¯t left.


    The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Yuan Clan ¡®Baiyun Dao Sovereign¡¯ had his eyes closed and sighed.


    Over half of the Sovereigns of the Sacred Alliance had left and were discussing how to deal with the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Around half of the hundred True Dragon geniuses had returned and Xin Wuheng who had entered the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei who had entered the unknown inheritance and Liu Qinxin who had entered the Sky Saint Qin Inheritance had not appeared.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Tiemo took regret and longing with him as he left the ancient arena.


    The Sacred Alliance closed the doors of the ancient arena and told everyone to leave.


    The most glorious Sacred True Dragon Gathering had come to an end.


    Maybe there would be people mentioning this Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s glory but it was more likely for it to be forgotten in the passage of time.


    However, had all of this really ended?


    In an ancient, cold hall in a far away spatial dimension.


    Tattered and worn stone statues and stone tablets were in sight in an ancient and cold hall, as if representing the legends it once held.


    There was around a hundred stone statues and tablets and all of them contained auras similar to the stone statues of the ancient arena but more realistic.


    In a certain place in front of a ten yard tall stone statue.


    This stone statue was a ¡®Demon Girl¡¯ with a pair of demonic wings. There was a dark black moon on its forehead and a black flames surrounded it.


    At the feet of the demon girl stone statue was a few words: Moon Demon Queen.


    ¡°The Moon Demon Queen is my Moon Demon Palaces¡¯ most famous Emperor at the Void God Realm. Her inheritance is indeed not simple. An entire two months of comprehension only allowed me to absorb half of the information.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s charming face was filled with joy.


    The Void God Realm was also split into tiers.


    At least in the Tianlu Islands, there was no Void God Realm expert that had been granted with the title of ¡®Emperor.¡¯


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡¯s eyes turned towards the direction of the central hall.


    She had entered here all because of one person.


    In the centre of the hall was four taller and more magnificent statues that gave off an invisible mental energy intent, as if they had passed through the passage of time.


    A few words were written in front of a stone statue: Wind Lightning Emperor


    A blue haired youth sat in front of the stone statue and tablet representing the Wind Lightning Emperor. His blue eye were cold and as sharp as lightning.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I didn¡¯t think that you would be able to receive the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor so quickly. Back then the Wind Lightning Emperor was named the fastest Emperor and his battle power was unparalleled. Even the Purple Night Saint Lord let him escape several times.¡±


    The voice of a female sounded in his mind.


    In Zhao Feng¡¯s mind a blurry image of two unfathomable powers clashed together in the limitless ocean.


    One of them was a blur of lightning and wind. Lightning engulfed the world and every time the figure moved, they could move thousands of miles and even movement could flip the heavens. It was as if they were God.


    The other was a figure enveloped in dreamy purple light. The figure was similar to the Purple Saint Partial Spirit but had higher cultivation and fought with the blur of wind and lightning.


    Finally.


    Because of the difference in cultivation the figure of wind and lightning flashed across the ocean and successfully escaped.


    ¡°This Wind Lightning Emperor is indeed worthy of being the fastest Emperor. He has the ability to challenge those with higher cultivation and even escape from the Purple Night Saint Lord.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly stood up.


    Every stone statue and stone tablet here represented a legend.


    Because Zhao Feng comprehended the laws of lightning he chose the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance and using his understanding of lightning and God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s comprehension ability, gained the recognition of the stone statue.


    Every stone statue here contained a mental energy spirit similar to the Purple Saint Partial Spirit but their intelligence wasn¡¯t high and only had their wills left.


    Even if Emperors at the Void God Realm had fallen, their wills could still exist for many years.


    The three floors of the lightning inheritance in the dimension of his left eye shattered and disappeared.


    An ancient stone tablet was replaced and waves of wind and lightning blew amongst it which contained the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s understanding and comprehension.


    The entire wind lightning stone tablet was dim and dark. Less than one percent of it was bright.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t even comprehend one percent of the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s understanding in two months time.¡±


    Zhao Feng exited comprehension with tiredness.


    The Lightning Inheritance he had learnt before was not even one percent of the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance.


    It was hard to imagine how terrifying this Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s battle power when he was at his peak.


    The legendary treasured palace had four tall stone statues and stone tablets. The owners of three of them all had reached the Mystic Light Realm and was one step away from the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    One could see how unique the Wind Lightning Emperor was for his stone statue to be on the same standing as the three others.


    The reason why Zhao Feng chose this inheritance was because it was most suitable for him.


    He didn¡¯t choose the ice elemental inheritance because he was worried that when the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye evolved once more, his bloodline would change and once his bloodline changed, the ice inheritance he chose would lose its meaning.


    The Wind Lightning Inheritance didn¡¯t have this problem.


    Zhao Feng had a foundation for the path of Wind and Lightning from long ago.


    Miao miao!


    On the other side of the palace the little thieving cat¡¯s body lay on a stone wall.


    On the stone wall was a dark transparent dagger.


    The little thieving cat had sat in front of this dagger for an entire two months and occasionally waved its paws in frustration.


    Jiang!


    The dark transparent dagger suddenly disappeared from the stone wall.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat joyfully grabbed the dagger with its paws.


    Hm?


    Zhao Feng glanced towards it and was slightly surprised. It had finally done it.


    ¡°How is this possible? It actually got this legendary weapon.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice was filled with panic and fear.


    Shua!


    After receiving the dark transparent dagger it flashed through the air and landed on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder.


    Zhao Feng was slightly stunned. What kind of weapon did the little thieving cat that even made the Purple Saint Partial Spirit feel panic and fear.


    Furthermore, after getting the dagger, the little thieving cat¡¯s abilities seem to have become stronger.


    ¡°It¡¯s about time.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and got ready to leave this stone statue and stone tablet.


    On the other side Zhuang Wan¡¯er saw Zhao Feng¡¯s actions and wanted to follow but was somewhat hesitant.


    Her rate of accepting the inheritance was no where as quick as Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat and wasn¡¯t complete.


    Zhao Feng had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye which allowed him to accept inheritances faster than Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, there¡¯s an inheritance weapon in the South West corner of the hall that might be suitable for your bloodline.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit calmed down and told him.


    Although the Purple Saint Partial Spirit mainly focused on helping Zhao Yufei inherit this ruins, no one knew the place as well as her.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and soon arrived at the South West corner.


    Apart from inheritances and skills, there was also weapon inheritances.


    In the South West corner was a tattered and broken shield, an elegant broken sword and a deep blue crystal spear.


    The owners of these three weapons when they were alive were all at least at the Void God Realm or else their weapons wouldn¡¯t be collected by the Purple Night Saint lord.


    When Zhao Feng got close he felt the faint blue blood in his body flow throughout his body.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline had sensed something and even his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye twitched slightly.


    Weng~~


    The deep blue crystal spear gave off a faint roar of a dragon and a coldness charged into his soul.


    If it were a normal genius who was at the True Lord Rank, their consciousness might be sealed by ice and even normal Origin Core Realm experts didn¡¯t dare face this pressure head on.


    Jiang!


    The deep blue crystal spear disappeared from the wall with the image of an ice dragon.


    Zhao Feng instinctively reached out and grasped the crystal spear.


    ¡°This is the famous Ice Imperial Spear. The previous owners¡¯ cultivation were almost all above the Void God Realm.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice sounded.


    Zhao Feng immediately gave thanks. The Purple Saint Partial Spirit must have seen that this Ice Imperial Spear was compatible with his bloodline and so told him.


    Now he had received the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor and his bloodline had the Ice Imperial Spear.


    This meant that Zhao Feng got two inheritances at once.


    The Ice Imperial Spear contained the legacy of its previous owner and this weapon itself had the laws of ice.


    The only regretful thing was that the rank of this Ice Imperial Spear had fallen and was far off it¡¯s prime.


    However, even then this Ice Imperial Spear¡¯s value was worth more than a thousand times than the other items Zhao Feng had.


    The Three Flowered Treasured Lotus, Luohou Bow, Water Moon God Peach Fan and other items weren¡¯t much use for Zhao Feng anymore.


    After all, his battle power was close to to normal late stage True Lord Ranks and had surpassed the Water Moon Pirate.


    After receiving the suitable inheritance Zhao Feng went into the next floor, the ¡®Purple Saint Treasured Palace¡¯ with directions from the map.


    The third floor - Purple Saint Treasured Palace.


    A girl dressed in purple sat in front of a crystal-like ket and sizzles of Flames of True Spirit went into the key.


    Next to her was a female in the state of a purple glow of light who floated in midair and helped the girl in purple.


    It was at this moment Zhao Feng stepped into the third floor.


    This was the inheritance that belonged to the Purple Night Saint Lord.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, to stop excess energy to be used, the Purple Saint Ruins will soon come to an ending. You can choose to stay here for tens of years and cultivate with Yufei or you can choose to leave.¡±


    The glow of purple light said.

 440 Back to the Azure Flower Continent 1

    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and inspected the dimension and saw that it was becoming slightly unstable.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit was losing energy every second the Ruins was open.


    She was the core of the Purple Saint Ruin and her power had almost run out after all this time.


    Once all of the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s energy was used up, this Ruins would become owner-less and there would be unforeseeable dangers.


    The experts outside might use this chance and attack the Ruins.


    Hence, Zhao Feng had two options:


    * Stay in the Purple Saint Ruins. This may take up to 10 years.


    * Return back to the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, are you going to stay or leave?¡±


    Although the Purple Saint Partial Spirit was in a void state, it still had an air of nobility and elegance.


    Her eyes were full of expectation as she looked at the blue haired youth in front of her.


    Being the controller of the dimension, she knew all of Zhao Feng¡¯s stunning displays.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline didn¡¯t belong to one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, his left eye was definitely related to it.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit wished for Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei to control the Purple Saint Ruins together.


    ¡°Tens of years is too long.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured as he started to think about his past.


    Thinking back to the start of his cultivation from the Consolidated Realm to now, how many years had it taken him?


    Zhao Feng had only used three to four years and he wasn¡¯t even eighteen right now.


    In many places, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t even be considered an adult.


    Tens of years were too long for Zhao Feng.


    Ten years meant countless opportunities for him.


    ¡°Furthermore, I can¡¯t put down the expectation of First Elder. Who knows what would happen to the Broken Moon Clan and my hometown then?¡±


    Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng made a decision.


    He couldn¡¯t stay in the Purple Saint dimension for that long.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go back to the Azure Flower Continent.¡±


    Zhao Feng said decisively.


    When he made this decision, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit sighed somewhat regretfully.


    If it was a normal expert or even Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm, they would probably not give up this chance.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within the Purple Saint Ruins was extremely pure and there were countless treasures. Cultivating here was certainly much faster than the outside world.


    Zhao Feng obviously knew this clearly, but he still decided to go back to the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°The world is enormous and there might be fortunes greater than the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Relying on outside items and help isn¡¯t good. Plus, I¡¯ve already received enough rewards here.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought. His heart was as calm as water and wasn¡¯t moved by the ruins.


    ¡°Sister purple Saint, can you please send Brother Zhao Feng back to the Azure Flower area and give them my wishes?¡±


    Zhao Yufei opened her eyes and the crystal key in front of her hummed lowly as the ruins started to change.


    Zhao Feng guessed that this crystal key was the core of the ruins and as long as Zhao Yufei refined it, she could start to control the ruins but as of right now her cultivation wasn¡¯t enough.


    ¡°Ok, give me half a days time to prepare.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit glanced deeply towards Zhao Yufei but didn¡¯t say anything.


    The two had made a deal before and would respect Zhao Feng¡¯s choice.


    As expected, Zhao Feng chose to return back to the Azure Flower Continent.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s choice also allowed to carry Zhao Yufei¡¯s wish, inside the depths of her heart, she still felt disappointed.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, when you return back to the Thirteen Countries can you please save the Lin Moon Clan and if it¡¯s possible, give news to the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Yuan Clan ¡®Baiyun Dao Sovereign¡¯ that I¡¯m safe?¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes were teary as she closed her eyes and focused on refining the crystal key.


    ¡°Sure thing.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head with a bit of guilt. He couldn¡¯t help Zhao Yufei refine or control the Purple saint dimension and obviously couldn¡¯t stay here for tens of years.


    Next.


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged waiting for the half a day to pass and end of the ruins.


    Using this time, Zhao Feng organized what he had gotten from the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Amongst everything, the Life Returning Grass and company was invaluable in the Azure Flower Continent and compared to this the treasures from the Water Moon Treasury were nothing.


    He had also received two major inheritances, the Wind Lightning Emperors, and Ice Imperial Spear.


    Within his mind.


    The tattered stone tablet covered with a layer of mysterious wind and lightning released a limitless aura.


    This wind lightning stone tablet represented the essence of an Emperor.


    Although this wind lightning stone tablet was worn out and dark, less than one percent was bright.


    This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s understand wasn¡¯t even one one-hundredth of the wind lightning stone tablet.


    ¡°If I can comprehend more than one percent of the wind lightning stone tablet, it won¡¯t be hard for me to reach the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng took back his consciousness.


    The process of comprehending the wind lightning stone tablet would definitely be a long process.


    This stone tablet would cause chaotic waves if it was known to the Azure Flower Continent.


    After all, this was the inheritance of an Emperor at the Void God Realm and surpassed most major inheritances.


    After that Zhao Feng started to inspect the Ice Imperial Spear.


    The Ice Imperial Spear was deep blue and transparent like crystal.


    ¡°The Ice Imperial Spear is an inheritance-type weapon and at its prime, its rank was at least at the high Earth grade.¡±


    Zhao Feng gently touched the Ice Imperial Spear and the blue body within his body automatically started to circulate and felt extremely close to the Ice Imperial Spear.


    Earth grade weapons were legends in the Azure Flower Continent.


    The one and only Lord Dynasty was destroyed by an Earth grade weapon in just one night.


    Weng~


    The Ice Imperial Spear suddenly seemed to melt and went inside Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    The Ice Imperial Spear had disappeared, but Zhao Feng was sure it was on him and had merged with his body.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and felt the aura of ancient coldness in his bloodline power which also contained information on the laws of ice.


    The Ice Imperial Spear wasn¡¯t just a weapon. It also contained inheritance information.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s guesses were very accurate and were sure that Zhao Feng was suited for this inheritance weapon.


    However, Zhao Feng found that this Ice Imperial Spear was worn and most of its power was in hibernation.


    ¡°This Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯s decision wasn¡¯t bad. I got the inheritances of the Wind Lightning Emperor and Ice Imperial Spear at the same time.¡±


    Zhao Feng was very satisfied.


    Apart from the treasures and inheritances, he had also received some benefits and the best one was the strengthening of his soul due to the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    Zhao Feng had absorbed a lot of its power and cleansed his soul.


    His mental energy level was now at least comparable to the late True Lord Rank and understood how to use the Eye of Heaven.


    Just this alone was enough to make the other geniuses of the three two-star sects go crazy from jealousy.


    Time slowly passed by and Zhao Feng organized what he had gotten.


    When there were rewards, there were losses.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t overuse the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye within a short amount of time and couldn¡¯t easily use powerful skills.


    Apart from that the youngling scorpion also left Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had asked the Purple Saint Partial Spirit and the answer he received was that either the youngling scorpion had died or wasn¡¯t in the ruins.


    ¡°The youngling scorpion shouldn¡¯t be dead yet as I still feel a tiny connection.¡±


    Zhao Feng was certain.


    Of course, compared with the massive benefits he got, the loss of the youngling scorpion was nothing.


    Shua Shua!


    Two dark silver poison corpses appeared next to Zhao Feng.


    In terms of battle power, these two dark silver poison corpses could kill anyone under the Origin Core Realm as long as they drew blood.


    Before the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t have imagined that he would have two ghost corpse slaves at the True Lord Rank.


    With just these two True Lord Rank ghost corpses alone, he could do almost whatever he wished in the Canopy Great Country.


    Some of the stronger forces such as the main Liu family only had one or two True Lord Ranks and some ¡®strong countries¡¯ also had around this amount.


    This was strong countries and great countries.


    Small countries such as the Thirteen Countries didn¡¯t have any True Lord Ranks and even True Mystic Ranks were extremely rare.


    In the blink of an eye half, a day had passed.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the inheritance is closing right now. I¡¯ll send you back to the Azure Flower area.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice sounded in his mind.


    ¡°Thank you, elder Purple Saint.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately gave his utmost gratitude.


    It wasn¡¯t hard for him to guess that the Purple Saint Partial Spirit would expend a lot of energy to send him back.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you don¡¯t need to be so respectful. This is what I should do. Even if you aren¡¯t Yufei¡¯s friend, just by the fact that you protected the Towering Tree Yao and the flaw of the dimension, I would do my best to satisfy your requirement.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit smiled.


    After saying that.


    Wu~~


    The Purple Saint Treasured Palace glowed with a brilliant purple light and a wave of spatial disturbance.


    A purple door suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Senior, it¡¯d be best if you could send me to the South West of the Northern Continent.¡±


    Zhao Feng guessed that the Sacred True Dragon Gathering had probably ended and the South West of the Northern Continent was where the Thirteen Countries and two strong countries were.

 441 Back to the Azure Flower Continent 2

    According to Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts, it would be better if the Purple Saint Partial Spirit teleported him to a more accurate place.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering had most likely ended and Zhao Feng¡¯s head would hurt from being questioned by everyone.


    After all, the inheritance he entered was unknown and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know how to explain where Zhao Yufei went as this regarded massive secrets.


    The place he really wanted to go to wasn¡¯t the ancient arena nor the Canopy Great Country but his hometown.


    Thinking back how he had traveled towards the Canopy Great Country, it was due to the situation in his hometown.


    Before he left the new Clan Master ¡®Haiyun Master¡¯ of the Broken Moon Clan had sent killers after him across the Thirteen Countries.


    Now.


    Zhao Feng estimated the time was ripe and his strength was enough to return to the Cloud area.


    ¡°You¡¯re asking for more than I thought, but I have a Purple Saint Token here which is comparable to a dimension marking.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit smiled and waved her hand as a rippling purple token landed on Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    Pa


    Zhao Feng accepted the Purple Saint Token with puzzlement.


    ¡°This Purple Saint Token has a faint connection with the Purple Saint Ruins and if one day you need to return to the Purple Saint Ruins or if Yufei needs your help this token can open a path.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit explained.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng was surprised and overjoyed.


    This meant that he had another chance to return here after going back to the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°This is the last Purple Saint Token and can only be used three times. Use with care.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit warned.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and promised to protect the Purple Saint Token.


    ¡°I also have a few items for you.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit raised its hand again and an ancient metal ring, the jade talisman of a dragon and a black small ball appeared in the air.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. Instinct told him that the three items that the Purple Saint Partial Spirit was giving him were not normal.


    Thinking about how the Purple Saint Partial Spirit was the controller of this Ruins, how would the presents she was giving out be easy?


    Miao Miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly appeared and seemed to be very excited.


    ¡°This jade dragon talisman is named ¡®Jade Dragon Protection¡¯ and one of its materials is a bloodline of an ancient true dragon. It¡¯s similar to the Void God Protection but is more unique. It


    can attack and defend and can be used twice.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit introduced.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up after hearing this.


    Before, he had seen Ye Yanyu use the Void God Protection. That devastating power even severely injured the Towering Tree Yao.


    The Void God Protection had one-tenth the strength of a Void God Realm King and could be used for both offense and defense.


    If used well, the attack from the Void God Protection could even kill a Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm.


    The Jade Dragon Protection that the Purple Saint Partial Spirit gave him was even more unique and could be used twice.


    ¡°This ancient metal ring is a special interspatial ring and can hold many items and is very tough; almost unable to be destroyed. The space inside it is several hundred times more than all your interspatial items added up and can also be used as a Spiritual Pet Bag.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit smiled and said.


    Zhao Feng was surprised and when he put his consciousness into the ancient metal ring, he could faintly feel that the space within it had at least a radius of one mile.


    One had to know that normal interspatial items could only hold a couple yards worth of stuff and an interspatial ring that could hold a radius of one mile was never even heard of in the Azure Flower Continent.


    Furthermore, this ancient metal ring can also store Spiritual Pets.


    Miao Miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s figure flashed and disappeared within the ancient metal ring.


    With this ring, Zhao Feng¡¯s actions later on would be much easier.


    Finally.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit introduced the last black small pearl:


    ¡°This is the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, a sacred item for the Dao of Ghosts and contains the air of yin and ghosts. It is very suitable to train Ghost Corpses and normal Ghost Corpses inside would be able to cultivate dozens of times faster. Back then the Ten Thousand Ghost Emperor trained tens of thousands of ghost corpses inside this and swept across several powerful two-star sects.¡±


    After taking the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, Zhao Feng found that this item was several ranks higher than the Black Lotus he had taken.


    It was obvious that the Purple Saint Partial Spirit saw that Zhao Feng was interested raising Ghost Corpses and hence gave this Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    The Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, Jade Dragon Protection, and ancient metal ring were all of great help to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng got ready after putting the three items away.


    ¡°Yufei, we shall meet later.¡±


    Before he left, Zhao Feng glanced deeply towards Zhao Yufei.


    Being the inheritor of the Purple Night Saint Lord and the Purple Saint dimension, her future and the pressure on her wasn¡¯t small.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit gave Zhao Feng these items hoping that Zhao Feng might help her a bit especially before she fully grew.


    In reality, even without these items, Zhao Feng would help due to their relationship.


    In the next instant.


    The entire Purple Saint Ruins trembled slightly and space seemed to distort. Zhao Feng also disappeared from the Purple Saint dimension in this moment.


    The glowing purple door vanished.


    ¡°Yufei, although this person doesn¡¯t have the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, the history of his left eye is definitely connected to it. If you¡¯re able to become his wife, there¡¯ll be great benefits¡­.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s eyes were full of smiles.


    Zhao Yufei, who was sitting on the ground and refining the crystal key, went red.


    At the same time in the limitless ocean.


    Shua Shua Shua!


    Figures after one another appeared in the air.


    All of these figures were disciples from the three sects. Some were filled with disappointment, others joy and unwillingness.


    Three Kings at the Void God Realm froze the space within a thousand miles and every genius was questioned by the upper echelons of the three sects.


    At the end, Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er were also sent out.


    ¡°The Purple Saint Ruins inheritance has ended.¡±


    The golden skeleton said emotionlessly.


    Weng~


    The three Void God Realm Kings all suddenly sensed something.


    ¡°Just then an unknown being was sent out from the Purple Saint Ruins but didn¡¯t appear where we are.¡±


    Moon robed goddess aunt¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as she closed her eyes and sensed around.


    ¡°I had the same faint feeling as well.¡±


    The golden skeleton and King of the Demonic Path all agreed.


    In the instance Zhao Feng had been sent out, the three Kings at the Void God Realm had felt the unusual disturbance in space.


    Who would the existence that was sent out be?


    The three had their answers immediately.


    The inheritor could be excluded because the inheritor needed a long time to inherit the ruins and couldn¡¯t leave.


    The disciples of the three sects all had their inheritance tokens and could also be excluded.


    Furthermore, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit would spend a lot of energy just by sending out one person to a faraway place.


    It wouldn¡¯t do something like this for the disciples of the three sects.


    The answer was very obvious.


    Only Zhao Feng who had helped them would receive this treatment.


    ¡°Can¡¯t sense it anymore¡­..¡±


    The moon robed goddess aunt tried to connect with the youngling scorpion on her palm.


    Void God Realm Kings had incredible abilities and easily controlled the youngling scorpion.


    However, due to the fact that the youngling scorpion was too far away from Zhao Feng and weak, it couldn¡¯t sense Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Looks like the area Zhao Feng is from isn¡¯t the Tianlu Islands but the power of the Purple Saint Partial Spirit is limited and wouldn¡¯t be able to send him too far away.¡±


    The moon robed goddess aunt already had her guesses.


    Right now all, she needed to do was patiently increase the youngling scorpion¡¯s strength till a certain point where it could estimate it¡¯s owner¡¯s whereabouts.


    After disappearing from the Purple Saint dimension, this youngling scorpion was the only trace leading to Zhao Feng.


    In a place far, far away.


    In a range of desolate forest.


    Weng~~


    A glowing purple door appeared out of nowhere and caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to become chaotic.


    At this instance, lightning and wind seemed to interact.


    Although the purple door seemed to be pushed back by the Heaven and Earth here, it forcefully opened.


    Shua!


    A blue haired youth walked through the purple door and the disturbance here caused the beasts to tremble in fear and uneasiness.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye opened and he murmured to himself: ¡°This Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s methods are immeasurable. It sent me directly back to the Azure Flower Continent from the ruins.¡±


    Zhao Feng had smelt a very familiar aura with he had appeared.


    The Azure Flower Continent¡¯s aura was very different from the Purple Saint dimensions and the place where Zhao Feng was at was very close towards the Thirteen countries.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled and guessed that he was probably sent to a small corner of the Cloud area.


    The Cloud area had Thirteen Countries and two strong countries.


    Apart from the cities itself, the rest was barren land and was usually filled with large amounts of deadly beasts. Even some True Spirit Realms didn¡¯t dare venture here¡­.


    Because the barren lands were too big and Zhao Feng had appeared out of nowhere, he wasn''t exactly sure where he was.


    Ceng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed as he landed on a tree and instinctively opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to survive the land.


    However.


    The second he opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye his expression changed dramatically.


    Sii!


    Zhao Feng felt the depths of his left eye expand and start to hurt.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness entered the dimension of his left eye and the freezing pond had extended to nine point eight yards and was closing in on nine point nine yards.

 442 Chapter Leader!

    In the desolate forest, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows were furrowed and he rubbed his temples. A wave of pain came from his left eye.


    He didn¡¯t know if it was just him, but the freezing pond in his left eye started to ripple. It was as if an ice mountain was about to melt.


    ¡°This feeling¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng felt slightly tired.


    He had a similar feeling before when the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye went through a change, but it hurt more this time.


    It was fine if he didn¡¯t use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, but once he did the pain would be tens of times to hundreds of times stronger.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t confirm whether this was because he had overused his eye in the Ruins or his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was about to evolve.


    Maybe it was a bit of both and it had started to undergo an unknown change.


    The change in the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and what it would turn into was something Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t control.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng was expectant and slightly worried for it. He didn¡¯t know what the next change of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye would be.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng forcefully calmed himself down and circulated his bloodline power.


    Shua!


    A cooling sensation rushed into the dimension of his left eye and blocked off the freezing pond.


    In the next instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s left iris became black again but was dim.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, the cold of the freezing aura had disappeared and was replaced by a smooth, watery feel.


    ¡°My bloodline power¡¯s element is indeed directly linked to the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.¡±


    Zhao Feng found that the state of his bloodline was between ice and water.


    Pa!


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power and sent a flower of ice and lightning into the air. A ripple of water-like substance bloomed like a crystal.


    The change in power of the palm wasn¡¯t much different, but Zhao Feng found that his control and usage of his bloodline power was more than twice as smooth as before.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know whether the change in the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was good or bad, but he was confident that, even if he didn¡¯t use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, his battle power and hidden cards were enough to dominate the Thirteen Countries and two Strong Countries.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to easily use the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and wasn¡¯t sure where to go.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto his shoulder and threw a couple old coins into the air before smiling and pointing toward a certain direction.


    ¡°Little diviner, I¡¯ll believe you for once.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but smile. He half-believed and half-doubted the little thieving cat¡¯s divination ability.


    Qiu---


    Zhao Feng turned into a blurry arc of lightning that sped toward a certain area.


    According to the direction the little thieving cat pointed out, Zhao Feng flew several thousand miles at once.


    In front were barren lands, but there was the occasional river and lake which made Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye feel familiar and close.


    Zhao Feng obviously met some deadly beasts in this period, but he killed them with a flick of his fingers.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak True Mystic Rank and could be considered a half-step True Lord Rank. Even if he didn¡¯t use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he wasn¡¯t scared of normal True Lord Ranks.


    After getting a little tired, Zhao Feng summoned the Azure Swallow from the ancient metal ring.


    The ancient metal ring was indeed a worthy present given by the Purple Saint Partial Spirit. It could store normal items as well as spiritual pets.


    Because he didn¡¯t focus on raising it, the Azure Swallow¡¯s cultivation was only at the half-step True Spirit Realm, but its flying capability was much stronger than normal True Spirit Realms.


    After flying another several thousand miles, Zhao Feng still didn¡¯t escape the barren lands and was slightly angered; he was ready to pull out the little thieving cat and question it.


    Right at this moment.


    Sou Sou Sou----


    From a canyon below, next to a long river, sprouted seven or eight figures.


    These figures had considerable cultivation: the weakest was a Seventh Sky Ascended Realm, there were two half-step True Spirit Realms, and the leader was an expert at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Bastard from the Iron Dragon Alliance, die~~~~!¡±


    ¡°How are they so fast? The people from the Iron Dragon Alliance have already pursued up to here?¡±


    These figures seemed to have just found Zhao Feng and charged over with red eyes and killing intent.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even know what was going on and was innocently being attacked.


    He quickly scanned over these people and saw that the seven or eight of them were ruffled. It was obvious that they had fought a battle not long ago.


    The leader was a brown-robed elder who was at the True Spirit Realm and was stronger than Master Haiyun from back then.


    ¡°Everyone watch out. Although this person¡¯s extremely young, he¡¯s at the True Spirit Realm.¡±


    He couldn¡¯t detect Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation, but he was certain that the latter was at the True Spirit Realm.


    They had just fought several battles and their strength wasn¡¯t at their peak.


    The other six or seven people instantly became cautious. Although they had more people, they would still pay a huge price to heavily injure or kill a True Spirit Realm expert.


    In a normal situation, they would lose over half of their people to win.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression turned from surprise to joy and interest after being surrounded by the eight people.


    There were finally people!


    Zhao Feng let out a sigh of relief.


    Seeing Zhao Feng become happy instead of shocked after being surrounded, the brown-robed elder¡¯s face became more solemn and he cursed in his heart.


    ¡°Bastard, give your name before you die.¡±


    It was a half-step True Spirit Realm wealthy-robed youth who shouted.


    Facing this situation, Zhao Feng instinctively used his Eye of Heart to question these people with the highest efficiency, but the pain from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye made him give up this thought.


    Aye, he wasn¡¯t used to the days of not using the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Zhao Feng sighed helplessly, but thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face.


    In the past, he had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and its abilities revealed everything in front of him.


    The feeling of control was powerful but made the process lose its flavor.


    And now? Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to easily use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and could experience the life of ¡°normal people.¡±


    This change in state of heart made Zhao Feng¡¯s cold expression melt and become more playful.


    ¡°Oh well, I¡¯ll let you all know who I am before you die¡­ this Chapter Leader¡¯s name is Zhao Feng.¡±


    Zhao Feng pretended to be mysterious and gave his name.


    Back then, Zhao Feng had participated in the Thirteen Countries Alliance Banquet and came first. His name was struck across the Thirteen Countries.


    Although two years had passed, Zhao Feng still believed that his name wasn¡¯t fully forgotten by the people.


    Zhao Feng?


    The seven to eight people paused slightly and a couple of them started to think but couldn¡¯t remember any True Spirit Realm expert called Zhao Feng.


    ¡°No¡­ never heard of him before.¡±


    The people glanced at each other with puzzlement and surprise, then all turned toward the brown-robed elder.


    The brown-robed elder was obviously very experienced and knew most of the True Spirit Realms in the Cloud area.


    However, the brown-robed elder also shook his head and locked his eyebrows.


    In the two Strong Countries, such a young True Spirit Realm genius would¡¯ve been among Bei Moi and company who had entered the Sacred True Dragon Gathering months ago.


    Seeing the expression of these people, Zhao Feng was very surprised.


    Back then, he was considered famous across the Thirteen Countries, but these people didn¡¯t even know his name.


    This surprised him.


    Only the wealthy-robed youth at the half-step True Spirit Realm murmured to himself, ¡°This name seemed to appear two years ago on the wanted-dead list.¡±


    Suddenly.


    ¡°Chapter Leader Zhao¡­ Chapter Leader!?¡± The brown-robed elder¡¯s heart jumped as he stared at Zhao Feng with fear.


    Across the Cloud area, True Spirit Realm cultivators were high up and usually all at least an Elder.


    The title of Chapter Leader sounded like a mid-tier title, which was impossible for the Cloud area.


    Only True Lord Rank cultivators from several hundred years ago, when the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion almost united the continent, were given the title of Chapter Leader.


    Especially in the past few years, the spawn of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion were starting to come back to life in the edges of the continent.


    The Iron Dragon Alliance seemed to be backed up by the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. This wasn¡¯t a secret amongst the upper echelons of the Cloud area.


    ¡°Could this person be¡­?¡±


    The brown-robed elder started to sweat coldly as he panicked with fear.


    If his guesses were right, then even if his party was several times stronger, it still wouldn¡¯t be enough to fill the gap in the opponent¡¯s teeth.


    Any one of the Chapter Leaders of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion would be enough to rule a side.


    Back then, any Chapter of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion could destroy the Cloud area.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Chapter Leader Zhao,¡± Zhao Feng said casually and didn¡¯t disagree.


    He was the Chapter Leader of the Iron Blood Religion and, from the brown-robed elder¡¯s reaction, he had his guesses.


    This wasn¡¯t the Thirteen Countries, and if this place wasn¡¯t the Iron Dragon Strong Country then it was the Sky Rich Strong Country.


    No one from the Thirteen Countries would not know Zhao Feng¡¯s name.


    After all, he had won the Alliance Banquet and gained a warrant from Master Haiyun afterward.


    So, was this place the Sky Rich Strong Country or the Iron Dragon Strong Country?


    ¡°The Iron Dragon Alliance thinks too much of me to send out an expert of your level to kill us.¡±


    The brown-robed elder took a cold breath and helplessness appeared on his face.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s aura was unfathomable and seemed to envelope the world. The brown-robed elder couldn¡¯t see through it.


    Hearing the opponent call himself ¡°Chapter Leader,¡± the brown-robed elder was 50-60% sure who he was.


    ¡°Third Highness, quickly escape and meet up with Old Su and Princess Jin. Leave him to this old man!¡±


    The brown-robed elder yelled as his Qi of True Spirit started to burn.


    In that instant, a radius of twenty to thirty yards became covered with yellow light and crushed toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was surprised as his body became slightly heavier.


    To stop Zhao Feng, the brown-robed elder had burnt his Qi of True Spirit to give ¡°Third Highness¡± and company a chance to escape.


    ¡°Elder Jiang, you-¡±


    The wealthy-robed youth, or Third Highness, had red and teary eyes as he retreated with the other six people.


    Before he retreated, he gave a deep glance toward the blue-haired youth. Who was he to make the powerful Elder Jiang feel despair?


    Stone Dragon Fort Domain!


    The brown-robed Elder Jiang roared as he burnt his Qi of True Spirit and thrust out several palms of yellow stone dragons that engulfed Zhao Feng¡¯s figure.

 443 Iron Dragon Alliance

    Stone Dragon Fort Domain!


    The brown-robed Elder Jiang used his killing move and the faint roar of a dragon seemed to reverberate across space. The brilliant glow of yellow instantly lit up everything within dozens of yards.


    Stone dragons, one after another, crushed toward Zhao Feng and created deadly destruction as they twisted and turned.


    The devastating power made the True Force of ¡°Third Highness¡± and company tremble.


    True Spirit Realms were indeed worthy of being looked up to. Their methods made others watch in awe.


    At this moment, the brown-robed Elder Jiang had burnt his Qi of True Spirit and was confident he could even stop normal True Mystic Ranks for a while to give Third Highness time to escape.


    ¡°Elder Jiang¡¯s true strength has reached this degree? Can that blue-haired youth really block Elder Jiang¡¯s attacks?¡±


    Third Highness couldn¡¯t help but look back while he ran.


    He didn¡¯t dare to go against Elder Jiang¡¯s orders, but the blue-haired youth¡¯s age was even lower than his own. What methods did he have to make even Elder Jiang panic in fear and put his life on the line for a chance to let Third Highness escape?


    Third Highness felt unwilling and had a strong sense of questioning.


    Boom Boom Boom!!


    The dragons crushed toward the blue-haired youth and created loud explosions.


    Third Highness and company had only run out a hundred yards.


    ¡°Is he dead?¡±


    The other seven slowed down and looked back toward the area filled with dust.


    All of them were filled with joy.


    Maybe the blue-haired youth wasn¡¯t very strong and was actually killed by Elder Jiang in one move.


    ¡°Without any resistance¡­. Is this real?¡±


    Elder Jiang¡¯s breathing rate quickened as his face went pale white.


    The blue-haired youth in his sight had been killed in one move.


    The sudden ¡°victory¡± made Elder Jiang feel uneasy.


    When the dust fell, the blue-haired youth had disappeared along with the wind and there were no traces of his aura.


    ¡°Hahaha, that so-called Chapter Leader is only so-so.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve only heard of Elder Jiang¡¯s Stone Dragon Fort Domain in rumors and it indeed lives up to its name.¡±


    Third Highness and company¡¯s worry turned to happiness as their footsteps stopped.


    A hum of lightning flashed through the air.


    ¡°Not good, run~~~~!¡±


    Elder Jiang seemed to sense something and yelled.


    Third Highness and company were all stunned.


    ¡°Too late.¡±


    Before they could react, a cold emotionless voice sounded next to their ears.


    Qiu----


    A faint flash of lightning condensed in the air above them.


    What!?


    Third Highness and company looked up in shock.


    A blue-haired youth surrounded in waves of lightning had appeared above them.


    ¡°Third Highness, run! ¨C Scarlet Moon Bitch, come and fight me!¡±


    Elder Jiang roared with hate and regret.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with him and a ripple of lightning enveloped the six or seven people below him.


    The azure lightning instantly rolled over a twenty to thirty yard radius and covered the group.


    ¡°Arghhhh!¡±


    The six or seven people started to tremble.


    Half a breath later.


    Plop Plop Plop!


    Third Highness and company fell to the ground in fear.


    The numbing sensation made them unable to move even a finger. They could only watch as the blue-haired youth landed.


    ¡°You¡¯re that Third Highness?¡±


    The blue-haired youth walked up to the wealthy-robed youth and asked casually.


    Amongst the group, this wealthy-robed youth was the strongest and his cultivation had reached the half-step True Spirit Realm. Thus, he was able to last half a breath.


    ¡°You can torture, kill me, or do whatever you want.¡±


    Third Highness tried to calm himself down in front of the fear of death.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but smile. He didn¡¯t plan on questioning them as this would take too much time.


    His eyes turned toward the brown-robed Elder Jiang who was quickly closing in.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask, you answer. If you say half a false word, this Chapter Leader will chop off his leg.¡±


    Killing intent appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. Elder Jiang¡¯s footsteps froze. The wisp of killing intent from the blue-haired youth made him feel cold.


    Most importantly, Third Highness was held hostage.


    According to his analysis, the opponent had reached the True Mystic Rank at the least. There was no chance at all.


    ¡°You ask.¡±


    Elder Jiang sighed heavily with bitterness and Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction.


    The group fell dead silent, awaiting Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡°questioning.¡±


    First question.


    ¡°Where is this?¡±


    The blue-haired youth asked casually.


    What!?


    Third Highness and company felt as if their throats had been choked, but Elder Jiang didn¡¯t dare respond slowly, ¡°This is the edge of the Former Sky Rich Strong Country. Another several thousand miles southeast will be the closest city of the Sky Rich Strong Country.¡±


    Sky Rich Strong Country.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. This wasn¡¯t far off from his guesses.


    This place could only be near the two strong countries as no one didn¡¯t know Zhao Feng in the Thirteen Countries.


    ¡°Why is this called the Former Sky Rich Strong Country? What kind of existence is the Iron Dragon Alliance?¡±


    Zhao Feng continued asking.


    ¡°Are you¡­ not from the Cloud area?¡±


    Elder Jiang was puzzled.


    Did this youth not know that the Sky Rich Strong Country had been destroyed and the Former Sky Rich Strong Country was now the territory of the Iron Dragon Alliance?


    After some questioning, Zhao Feng now knew what the current situation of the Cloud area was.


    Before Zhao Feng had left, the balance between the Iron Dragon Strong Country and Sky Rich Strong Country had been broken.


    From the surface, it was because the Iron Dragon Strong Country had a new True Lord Rank, but in reality, all of this was caused by the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    Two years ago, when the Thirteen Clan Alliance Banquet was held, the Sky Rich Strong Country had been defeated by the Iron Dragon Strong Country.


    To stop the Thirteen Clans from helping the Sky Rich Strong Country, the Iron Dragon Strong Country sent their experts and attacked the geniuses in the Alliance Banquet.


    Zhao Feng still remembered how the Broken Moon Clan was chased.


    On that day, Master Haiyun betrayed them and attacked the original Broken Moon Clan Master, resulting in the pure and beautiful Clan Master¡¯s death.


    On that day, First Elder burnt his Qi of True Spirit and lost an arm.


    On that day, Zhao Feng led the survivors and escaped the pursuit of experts at the True Spirit Realm.


    Finally, Zhao Feng took First Elder¡¯s letter to find the woman called Liu Qinxin in the Canopy Great Country.


    Before he left, Zhao Feng had been wanted by Master Haiyun across the Thirteen Countries.


    Thinking back to these events, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was mixed.


    Without the situation back then, there would be no current him.


    This was also why Zhao Feng gave up the chance to stay in the Purple Saint Ruins and chose to return here.


    ¡°The Iron Dragon Alliance has control of the Iron Dragon Strong Country, while the Sky Rich Strong Country and Thirteen Countries are now subordinates. It could be said that the entire Cloud area has been overtaken by the Iron Dragon Strong Country and they are extending their forces outward to nearby strong countries¡­¡±


    Elder Jiang¡¯s voice was solemn when he mentioned the strength of the Iron Dragon Alliance and he paid attention to Zhao Feng¡¯s expression while he spoke.


    The blue-haired youth would occasionally have killing intent flicker and sigh.


    Elder Jiang guessed that this blue-haired youth should have left the Cloud area before the Iron Dragon Alliance was created. This youth had a unique feeling toward the Cloud area, but he didn¡¯t even know the situation of this place.


    This meant that this youth might not be an enemy.


    Elder Jiang let out a breath and closely inspected Zhao Feng but couldn¡¯t remember him.


    It was Third Highness who stared closely at Zhao Feng and exclaimed, ¡°Are you the person who was wanted two years ago? The number one genius of the Thirteen Countries?¡±


    Third Highness tried to recall the youth. The person who was wanted had azure hair and one eye, while this youth in front of them had blue hair and his left eye was dim.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that there¡¯d still be people in the Sky Rich Strong Country that remember me.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    ¡°This means that we¡¯re not enemies but friends¡­¡±


    Third Highness was overjoyed.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we all come from the Sky Rich Strong Country and are the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s enemies.¡±


    ¡°Third Highness and we are the Personal disciples of the Sky Wind Pavilion, the head of the Sky Rich Seven Clans.¡±


    The other five or six people said with respect.


    Zhao Feng recalled that the Sky Wind Pavilion was the Sky Rich Strong Country¡¯s most powerful clan and was comparable to one of the weaker four major families of the Canopy Great Country.


    Back then he had attended the Thirteen Clan Alliance Banquet and the Sky Wind Pavilion had been destroyed.


    ¡°This old one is an Elder of the Sky Wind Pavilion and from the Imperial family. We¡¯re trying to rise again but we¡¯ve constantly been chased by the Iron Dragon Alliance.¡±


    The brown-robed Elder Jiang¡¯s face was filled with bitterness.


    Zhao Feng now fully understood the situation of the Cloud area.


    Put simply, the Cloud area was now ruled by the Iron Dragon Alliance and only a small number of people were resisting.


    The situation was much more severe than Zhao Feng had imagined.


    He even had the thought of whether he should go back to the Canopy Great Country and ask for support.


    However, he quickly perished this thought.


    Although the situation of the Cloud area was bad, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t the same as back then.


    At this moment in time.


    Sou Sou Sou----


    The sound of flying appeared in the clouds.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng glanced over and saw a large blood-winged bird in the clouds. On it were more than a dozen figures and the weakest aura was at the Sixth or Seventh Sky of the Ascended Realm.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ spawn of the Sky Wind Pavilion, you won¡¯t be able to escape today.¡±


    The figures flew off the blood-winged bird.


    The leader was a bony figure holding a blood-colored sickle. The person licked their lips and released an aura that dyed the skies red.


    ¡°Not good, that person is the ¡®Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯ who once slew a city full of tens of thousands of people and even destroyed a small Clan with a group of elites.¡±


    The brown-robed Elder Jiang¡¯s face went pale white.

 444 Demonic Religion Member

    Hearing the title ¡°Blood Sickle Slaughterer,¡± the expressions of the people from the Sky Rich Imperials went grey.


    The bony man in front of the blood-winged bird held a blood-colored sickle and seemed to be the representative of the God of Death.


    The strong surge of bloody aura turned in the clouds and made everybody¡¯s heart jump.


    ¡°Do the Heavens want to kill me¡­? For me to meet this slaughterer¡­¡±


    Third Highness¡¯ body trembled with despair.


    Under the controlled and bloodied methods of the Iron Dragon Alliance, the countries were angry but couldn¡¯t do anything.


    Amongst them, the Blood Sickle Slaughterer was an infamous executioner of the Iron Dragon Alliance and was famed for killing. The slightest resistance resulted in the slaughter of a city, family, or even Clan.


    Only Zhao Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change as he rubbed his left eye lazily.


    ¡°The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye just had to change as soon as I returned here¡­¡±


    The pain in Zhao Feng¡¯s eye hurt more as time passed.


    Even if he didn¡¯t use the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye it would hurt slightly.


    As for the ¡°Blood Sickle Slaughterer,¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even look at him.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s casual actions were seen by Elder Jiang and he was surprised.


    The exchange from earlier allowed Elder Jiang to guess that Zhao Feng was at least at the True Mystic Rank.


    However, this was a guess after all.


    But if his guesses were right, Zhao Feng could protect them if he wanted to.


    ¡°Although the Blood Sickle Slaughterer is strong and has a record of fighting against a True Mystic Rank, he hasn¡¯t reached the True Mystic Rank himself.¡±


    Elder Jiang¡¯s heart moved and became expectant.


    The only worry he had was that Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t help because the Cloud area was now under the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s control.


    If Zhao Feng were to attack, it would mean fighting against the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    Although a True Mystic Rank was strong, it wasn¡¯t enough to fight against the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you ten breaths of time to consider surrendering or I will kill you all.¡±


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer landed from the blood-winged bird.


    Sou Sou Sou----


    The more-than-a-dozen figures seemed to be gods that descended from the skies and surrounded the group with experience.


    Elder Jiang was uneasy while Third Highness and company¡¯s legs trembled with fear.


    They had heard of the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s infamous name and the ten breaths of consideration was always his attitude.


    Surrender or die.


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer licked his lips. He liked to watch the enemy struggle within unlimited fear.


    His playful eyes scanned over the group and he faintly nodded his head.


    Hmm?


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s gaze suddenly locked onto a figure.


    Amongst the group, a blue-haired youth seemed tired and stood out.


    There was no fear in this youth¡¯s eyes and he seemed to be oblivious to the situation.


    If it was a normal person, it wouldn¡¯t matter. However, the aura from this youth was like a bottomless abyss that was filled with coldness.


    ¡°True¡­ True Mystic Rank?¡±


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s heart jumped as his playful smile was replaced with solemnness.


    When the Blood Sickle Slaughterer said the three words ¡°True Mystic Rank,¡± Elder Jiang let out a breath.


    After all, the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak True Human Rank and was even stronger than First Elder of the Broken Moon Clan.


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s strength was definitely top-tier amongst those at the True Human Rank and he had the experience of fighting those at the True Mystic Rank. His senses wouldn¡¯t be wrong.


    Hu~


    The wind lightly blew and the atmosphere was silent.


    ¡°The information was wrong¡­. There¡¯s a True Mystic Rank amongst the spawn of the Sky Rich Imperials.¡±


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s face was filled with solemnness and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.


    The figures of the Iron Dragon Alliance members nearby all froze.


    In the Cloud area, True Lord Ranks were definitely kings that could decide the lives of everyone.


    In the Iron Dragon Alliance, the number of True Lord Ranks could be counted with one hand.


    Putting aside the Cloud area, even the Canopy Great Country only had a few True Lord Ranks, and every True Lord Rank could affect the balance of the Great Country.


    In the Cloud area, the number of True Lord Ranks were even fewer and were never seen.


    Therefore, True Mystic Ranks became the strongest battle power and were enough to rule one side.


    It was hard to imagine that this youth had already reached the peak of the Cloud area.


    ¡°May I ask for your name and why you are helping the Sky Rich Imperials?¡±


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer had experienced rough waves and soon calmed down.


    His eyes twinkled as he stared at the blue-haired youth.


    He estimated that this youth had reached the True Mystic Rank not long ago, which meant that he might be able to block him.


    Of course, he had to scout out Zhao Feng before that.


    Zhao Feng raised his head tiredly, and said expressionlessly, ¡°I¡¯ll give you ten breaths to consider surrendering or I will kill you all.¡±


    What the Blood Sickle Slaughterer had said was repeated back to him.


    ¡°You¡­ do you want to become the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s enemy?¡±


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s expression was ugly.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the opponent¡¯s cultivation was at the True Mystic Rank, given the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s attitude, he would have tortured the opponent to death already.


    However, he didn¡¯t have confidence to defeat a True Mystic Rank, especially with Elder Jiang on the side.


    ¡°Ten¡­ nine¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice made the hearts of the Blood Sickle Slaughterer and company twitch.


    Elder Jiang, Third Highness, and company were overjoyed.


    Who would have thought that the situation would have flipped 180 degrees?


    Just a moment ago, they were choosing between surrender and death. The next instant, Zhao Feng had just casually turned this around.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s invisible aura was extremely powerful.


    Logically, the Blood Sickle Slaughterer shouldn¡¯t be stunned by a youth who had just reached the True Mystic Rank as he was very experienced, but somehow, the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s soul felt uneasy.


    Even the True Mystic Ranks he was familiar with didn¡¯t give him such pressure.


    The confidence due to strength and mental energy level made others look up at him.


    It was similar to a Noble. They might not be stronger, but every action and movement contained power.


    Zhao Feng gave off a feeling similar to this. Back at the Purple Saint Ruins, the True Mystic Rank geniuses that died due to him numbered a couple dozen and most of them were at the peak True Mystic Rank.


    Even some of the weaker True Lord Ranks weren¡¯t his match.


    ¡°Eight¡­ seven¡­ six¡­¡±


    In Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, the Blood Sickle Slaughterer was like an ant and his attitude was displayed.


    ¡°Re-retreat!!¡± The Blood Sickle Slaughterer suddenly made a decision on instinct.


    Firstly, the enemy had two True Spirit Realm cultivators and one of them was a True Mystic Rank. Fighting head-on meant that his chance of victory was less than 30%.


    Secondly, the blue-haired youth gave him an extremely uneasy feeling and, being a slaughterer, his sense for death was something that normal people couldn¡¯t compare to.


    Retreat!


    With the order of the Blood Sickle Slaughterer, the Iron Dragon Alliance members instantly reacted.


    ¡°Then you can go die.¡±


    Coldness flashed on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Ring of Lightning.


    He raised his hand and gently tapped the air.


    Arcs of lightning struck out in a radius of dozens of yards.


    Qiu----


    The lightning arcs were like living snakes that dodged around Third Highness and company before biting into the members of the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    ¡°Arghhhh!¡±


    Cries sounded one after another.


    Plop Plop!


    The nearby more-than-a-dozen members of the Iron Dragon Alliance turned into scorched bodies.


    In just a single breath, everyone apart from the Blood Sickle Slaughterer had died.


    ¡°One move¡­¡±


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s heart skipped a beat and his expression changed dramatically.


    Elder Jiang, Third Highness, and company were all frozen and didn¡¯t dare move in front of that terrifying aura of lightning.


    They originally thought that Zhao Feng¡¯s move would engulf them as well, but Zhao Feng¡¯s attack had only killed the enemy.


    Such control was something Elder Jiang could only look up to.


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer started to realize that Zhao Feng probably wasn¡¯t a normal True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer only had this thought.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was much more terrifying than he imagined, and the chance of winning was less than 30%. There was also Elder Jiang.


    Qiu-----


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer burnt his Qi of True Spirit and turned into a blood-colored flame that raced off into the distance.


    No one knew what technique the Blood Sickle Slaughterer had used to raise his speed to the True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°This Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s skill is kind of similar to the Moon Demon Palace¡¯s.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved as he watched the blood-colored flame shoot off.


    He couldn¡¯t help but squint his eyes as he watched the Blood Sickle Slaughterer get away.


    Elder Jiang panicked slightly. It seemed as if the Blood Sickle Slaughterer was very wary of Zhao Feng, and if the latter pursued him it was most likely he could slay the Blood Sickle Slaughterer.


    Once the Blood Sickle Slaughterer escaped, it would be far more dangerous.


    ¡°Elder Jiang, which clan is this Blood Sickle Slaughterer from?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to be in a rush.


    ¡°A lot of the members from the Iron Dragon Alliance come from the Cloud area, such as the two strong countries or the Thirteen Countries. However, the Iron Dragon Alliance has the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion behind them and many core members come from the Demonic Religion. The Blood Sickle Slaughterer isn¡¯t from the Cloud area so he¡¯s most likely a member of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.¡±


    Elder Jiang said deeply.


    ¡°Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡­ Moon Demon Palace¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng thought in his heart. To confirm his suspicions, he instinctively opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to try and see how the Blood Sickle Slaughterer used his skills, but the second he did so the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye exploded in pain.

 445 Wind Lightning Laws

    Zhao Feng helplessly rubbed his left eye.


    He wasn¡¯t very used to not using his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Next to him, Elder Jiang¡¯s eyes flashed as he noticed this detail.


    In the instance just then, he had seen Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye flash blue, but due to how fast it passed by, it seemed only like an illusion.


    Furthermore, it wasn¡¯t the first time Zhao Feng had rubbed his left eye.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, that Blood Sickle Slaughterer is an extremely evil person. If you let him leave our future will be full of troubles.¡±


    Elder Jiang said solemnly.


    Seeing the blood-colored flame travel further and further away Elder Jiang became worried but the blue haired youth was still carefree and looked tired.


    Zhao Feng obviously knew the reasoning behind killing the roots and wouldn¡¯t be kind when the moment came.


    ¡°This Blood Sickle Slaughterer is only a small fish. If I can use him to lure out the core members of the Iron Dragon Alliance¡­..¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    It was no trouble for him to kill the Blood Sickle Slaughterer and if he really wanted to, the Blood Sickle Slaughterer wouldn¡¯t even have the ability to escape.


    However, when Zhao Feng realized that the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s skills were similar to the Moon Demon Palace¡¯s, his mind changed.


    Shua!


    An afterimage was left behind as Zhao Feng turned into arcs of lightning.


    The mouths of Elder Jiang and company gaped open as the youth who had been right in front of their eyes disappear.


    ¡°Look!¡±


    Third Highness and company raised their heads and saw a streak of azure lightning flash through the clouds and chase after the blood-colored flame.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure could be faintly seen in the streak of lightning and his speed was much faster than the blood-colored flame.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng comprehends the power of Lightning and specializes in speed. Looks like the Blood Sickle Slaughterer can¡¯t escape.¡±


    Elder Jiang let out a breath and he had a gloating expression on his face.


    At the same time.


    When the Blood Sickle Slaughterer had run out one to two miles with his secret technique, he suddenly heard the howl of wind and hum of lightning.


    ¡°Fuck, he comprehends the laws of lightning¡­. No! It¡¯s the laws of Wind Lightning!¡±


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s face was extremely ugly.


    As Zhao Feng flew he caused lightning to hum and strong winds to push him.


    Both lightning based skills and wind elemental skills specialized in speed and when the two combined, it was definitely the fastest.


    The Wind Lightning Emperor had once used Wind and Lightning to perfection. He was named the fastest Emperor and his battle power was unrivaled.


    Within his mind.


    The Wind Lightning Tablet was still tattered and dark. It gave off an ancient aura and on the surface of the tablet, the intent of wind and lightning was released.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness felt a world of wind and lightning.


    The world was like the Wind Lightning Tablet. Although it was tattered and worn, arcs of lightning shot down from the sky and tornadoes formed.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s current mastery, he could only sense one corner of the ancient tablet world.


    The Wind Lightning Laws he had comprehended from the ancient tablet wasn¡¯t even one percent.


    ¡°The merging of wind and lightning creates the fastest speed. I¡¯ve only just started to comprehend it, but my speed has already surpassed when I was in the Purple Saint Ruins.¡±


    As Zhao Feng flew, he put part of his focus into the Wind Lightning Tablet.


    He didn¡¯t use his maximum speed or he would have caught up with the Blood Sickle Slaughterer long ago.


    Both Lightning and Wind were elements of nature that Zhao Feng was familiar with.


    The Lightning Floating Ferry, Wind lightning Palm, Mystic Flower Treasured Bible, lightning Inheritance etc all were connected with at least one of the two.


    It was because of these foundations that Zhao Feng chose the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance and could manage to barely comprehend it.


    In the skies.


    Two figures, one in front and one behind, circled around the mountains and occasionally went into the forest.


    However, no matter how much the blood-colored flame struggled, it couldn¡¯t get rid of the azure lightning behind him.


    ¡°May I ask your name and why you want to be the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s enemy? Even if I die, at least let me know your name.¡±


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s face was full of despair.


    The gap between the True Human Rank and True Mystic Rank wasn¡¯t able to be easily broken.


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer was strong amongst those at his cultivation level but could only


    fight against those at the True Mystic Rank within a short amount of time or use this chance to escape.


    Once the fight was dragged out, he certainly wasn¡¯t a True Mystic Rank¡¯s match.


    His enemy this time comprehended the laws of Wind and Lightning and both his speed and endurance was better than his.


    ¡°Hehe, relax, I won¡¯t let you die.¡±


    A playful smile sounded next to the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s ear with the hum of lightning.


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s face lost its color and he took a cold breath after knowing that Zhao Feng had used a mysterious method to close in on him.


    Partial Moon Blood Sickle!


    How would the Blood Sickle Slaughterer be willing to be defeated so easily?


    He burnt his Qi of True Spirit and slashed out an incomplete moon that made the soul tremble


    and covered the sky with the color of blood.


    This move was definitely the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s killing card.


    Half a year ago, he had used this move to injure a True Mystic Rank and successfully escape.


    ¡°Partial Moon Blood Sickle¡­ not good, this move can threaten most True Mystic Ranks.¡±


    Tens of miles away, Elder Jiang caught a wisp of the moves aura but a sudden change happened the next instant.


    The powerful blood-colored moon shattered in the air.


    ¡°You¡­ you¡­.¡±


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s face was pale white and his body contorted.


    A powerful pair of hands pressed tightly against his shoulder with the flicker of azure lightning.


    ¡°Indeed¡­.. The origin of this skill is similar to the ones the geniuses of the Moon Demon Palace use, but it is much rougher.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    In the Purple Saint Ruins, Zhao Feng had killed many from the Moon Demon Palace as well.


    After confirming his answer.


    Tok!


    Zhao Feng sent a flash of light into the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s dantian.


    ¡°You¡­ don¡¯t¡­.¡±


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer howled in fear and struggled.


    Half a breath later.


    His dantian was broken and his face was filled with regret and hate.


    A slaughterer who everyone had feared was now as weak as a chicken. This sudden change was more terrifying than death.


    ¡°Killing you is far too kind. Crippling your cultivation and making you experience what it feels like to be weak is far more painful.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and threw the Blood Sickle Slaughterer to the ground.


    After finishing all this, Zhao Feng turned into an azure streak that met up with Elder Jiang and company.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Zhao.¡±


    Elder Jiang and company all gave their thanks as they escaped their deaths but were only curious as to why Zhao Feng didn¡¯t kill the Blood Sickle Slaughterer.


    After all, the Blood Sickle Slaughterer would take the news of Zhao Feng back to the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    It could be imagined that within a short while, Zhao Feng would be wanted by the Iron Dragon Alliance and cause a lot of trouble.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng seemed to do this on purpose.


    Didn¡¯t he know the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s strength? Or did he still do this on purpose?


    Thinking up to here, Elder Jiang¡¯s heart moved.


    The ¡®enemy¡¯s enemy was a friend¡¯. If Zhao Feng teamed up with them, it would be great.


    Zhao Feng rubbed his left eye and looked towards the direction of the thirteen countries.


    The thirteen countries were between the two strong countries and wasn¡¯t too far away from the two strong countries.


    Seeing Zhao Feng had the mind to leave, Elder Jiang panicked: ¡°Little friend, you saved our


    lives. How can we not treat you well?¡±


    ¡°Brother Zhao has just come back to the Cloud area and probably doesn¡¯t know much about the current situation. We can help you and I believe Old Su from the Dragon Killing Alliance would be of your interest.¡±


    Third Highness couldn¡¯t help but beg.


    Dragon Killing Alliance?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s footsteps stopped.


    ¡°The members of the Dragon Killing Alliance mainly comes from the forces that have been destroyed by the Iron Dragon Alliance and is mainly led by the Seven Clans of the Sky Rich strong Country. Old Su is the leader of the Dragon Killing Alliance and fights against the Iron Dragon Alliance.¡±


    Third Highness explained.


    The Cloud area was under the Iron Dragon Alliances¡¯ control and just the two words¡¯ Dragon Killing¡¯ was obviously aimed towards the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and was about to decline the offer.


    Although he was slightly interested in the Dragon Killing Alliance, it wasn¡¯t as luring as going back to the Thirteen countries.


    However, just as he was about to speak, a surge of pain came from his left eye.


    Within the dimension of his left eye.


    The freezing pond started to ripple and reached nine point nine yards.


    ¡°The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye is about to undergo a change. Is it because of comprehending the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet¡­.?¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    At this current stage, his cultivation was at the half step True Lord Rank and his mental energy level was stronger than normal late stage True Lord Ranks.


    As long as he entered seclusion, it wouldn¡¯t be hard for him to breakthrough to the True Lord Rank.


    However, at this critical moment, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was going through a change.


    Zhao Feng analyzed it carefully.


    He had two cards for going back to the Thirteen countries. One was the Jade Dragon Protection and the Ice Imperial Spear, the Earth grade weapon which had merged into his body.


    ¡°The most important task right now is to let the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye successfully undergo this change. Its effect will be bigger than reaching the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng soon made a decision.


    With the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he could defeat most True Lord Ranks even without reaching the rank himself.


    Compared with that, reaching the True Lord Rank didn¡¯t have too big a difference\\.


    After all, he already had the mental energy level of a True Lord Rank and could fight other True Lord Ranks even without the use of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, what do you think?¡±


    Elder Jiang waited expectantly for Zhao Feng¡¯s reply.


    Third Highness suddenly remembered something: ¡°My ninth young sister is the number one genius of the Sky Rich strong country and a beauty who has just returned from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. I believe that a genius such as Brother Zhao would have heard of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering before and might have some words in common with my sister.¡±

 446 Princess Jin

    Speaking up to here, Third Highness couldn¡¯t help but become secretly smug.


    Princess Jin was beautiful and she had entered the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. He believed no one could resist this bait.


    What made him disappointed was that Zhao Feng seemed to become more tired and only looked up when ¡®Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡¯ was mentioned but didn¡¯t display too much interest.


    If Third Highness was to know that this youth in front of him had not only went to the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and became an overwhelming prodigy that was ranked number one or two, who knew what he would think.


    Zhao Feng had never heard of Princess Jin before and only remembered Princess Linyue from the Purple Rising Great Country.


    Of course, there were several thousand participants in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and those that Zhao Feng had impressions of were all at least in the top one or two hundred or those he had fought before.


    More precisely said, only those ranked in the top hundred raised his interest.


    For the current Zhao Feng, the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was a glory of the past and didn¡¯t have many challenges left. He was obviously not that interested in it anymore.


    At this moment in time, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was undergoing a change and Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye felt unsuitable and became more tired.


    He wanted to sleep.


    ¡°I¡¯m tired from traveling, thank you all for your help.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed and said with a smile.


    Hearing this, Elder Jiang, Third Highness and company all revealed looks of overwhelming joy.


    Elder Jiang felt weird. Why did Zhao Feng suddenly change his mind and go with them?


    He felt that this answer lay in the fact that Zhao Feng kept on rubbing his left eye.


    Elder Jiang¡¯s guesses were correct.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was evolving and he couldn¡¯t immediately return to the


    Thirteen countries. Secondly, he was interested in this Dragon Killing Alliance.


    Without a doubt.


    Zhao Feng returning to the Cloud area meant enmity with the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, if you please.¡±


    Third Highness raised his hand and Elder Jiang summoned a flying eagle from the sky.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t decline and sat on the eagle¡¯s back.


    ¡°We can¡¯t stay here for long. We need to meet up with Old Su and Princess Jin as soon as possible.¡±


    Elder Jiang controlled the flying eagle and soon flew into the clouds.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t ask for the address.


    On the way, he asked the specific detail of the Cloud area and especially about the Iron Dragon Alliance and Thirteen countries.


    Elder Jiang, Third Highness, and company answered everything.


    However, as time passed, the sleepiness on Zhao Feng¡¯s became heavier.


    Miao Miao!


    Zhao Feng swiped the ancient metal ring with his hand and a small grey cat slightly bigger than a palm landed on his shoulder.


    A light flashed in Elder Jiang¡¯s eyes. This was the first time he had seen an interspatial ring that could store spiritual pets.


    This cat in front of him gave him an intelligent feeling and after summoning the little thieving cat, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and slept.


    In the gusts of wind, Zhao Feng¡¯s blue hair waved with a softness and mysteriousness.


    The people from the Sky Rich Imperials were surprised.


    They didn¡¯t think that this youth who had defeated the Blood Sickle Slaughterer would enter sleep so casually.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s sleep was different from the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye evolution last time.


    On the journey, Zhao Feng would wake up every couple of hours or half a day but would fall asleep soon after.


    The group from the Sky Rich Imperials was first surprised but then got used to it.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®sleeping problem¡¯ was accepted by them, even though they felt it was slightly weird.


    Half a month later.


    In an underground palace with dark red stones.


    ¡°Reporting to Palace Lord, the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s mission ended in failure¡­.¡±


    A blood robed man appeared in the underground palace with respect.


    In front of him was a throne but no one was on it.


    Below the throne was a bath of blood which bubbled and smoked.


    Weng~~


    A flash of the color of blood appeared and an aura with a terrifying aura came into view.


    The figure was filled with dark silver lines and was like a ¡®blood-colored corpse¡¯ which made others look up in fear.


    ¡°The Blood Sickle Slaughterer is only a True Human Rank member of the Iron Dragon Alliance and belongs to the Eighteenth Core Elder¡¯s control. Why are you reporting this to me?¡±


    The blood colored corpse sat down on the throne.


    If Zhao Feng was here, he would recognize this ¡®silver striped corpse¡¯ as the ''Blood Corpse Protector''.


    ¡°Reporting to the Palace Lord, the Eighteenth Core Elder had already moved and is chasing after the Sky Rich Imperials and company. The Blood Sickle Slaughterer wanted to see Palace Lord several times but was rejected and said that the culprit¡¯s strength was much stronger than the normal Core Elder.¡±


    The blood robed man said uneasily.


    According to the rules, the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s mission should be reported to the Eighteenth Core Elder. Reporting this to the Palace Lord was ¡®going too high up.¡¯


    ¡°How did the Blood Sickle Slaughterer die?¡±


    The silver striped ¡®Palace Lord¡¯ asked faintly and obviously had a faint impression of the Blood Sickle Slaughterer.


    ¡°The Blood Sickle Slaughterer was crippled in one move. The culprit is a blue haired youth and purposely left the Blood Sickle Slaughterer alive.¡±


    The blood robed man said.


    ¡°Who dares to be this arrogant?¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s expression changed and even the blood robed man who told the story was surprised.


    Ever since the creation of the Iron Dragon Alliance, this was the first time they had met this situation. An enemy purposely leaving someone alive to report back.


    Such an arrogant person even made this Scarlet Moon Palace Lord feel shocked.


    The Iron Dragon Alliance ruled the Cloud area and their forces were expanding.


    Those that normally were pursued by the Iron Dragon Alliance did their best to run and hide and even if they couldn¡¯t they did their best to kill them. Who would dare to leave someone alive?


    This was provoking the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    ¡°What¡¯s the history of this blue-haired youth?¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s face was filled with cruel killing intent.


    ¡°His history is unknown but according to our guesses, he is very likely the number one genius of the Thirteen Countries who had escaped, ¡®Zhao Feng¡¯ but the two don¡¯t look too similar.¡±


    The blood robed man said uncertainly and then took out a drawing.


    This drawing was made by the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s summary before his death.


    ¡°Send down the order of the Rank One Killing Order across the Cloud area.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s cold voice resounded across the underground palace and the heart of the blood robed man jumped.


    He would never have thought that the Blood Corpse Palace Lord would use the ¡®Rank One Killing Order.¡¯


    The number of Rank One Killing Order¡¯s sent by the Iron Dragon Alliance since the start of its creation could be counted with one hand.


    Normally, only those at the True Lord Rank or those who humiliated the Iron Dragon Alliance would have the Rank One KillIng Order.


    This was technically the highest wanted order for the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    ¡°This subordinate will now retreat.¡±


    The blood robed man took back the drawing and was about to leave.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace lord¡¯s eyes scanned over the drawing and exclaimed out loud.


    ¡°This is the blue-haired culprit¡¯s drawing and was perfected dozens of times according to the


    Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s description and is apparently 90% similar to the person.¡±


    The blood robed man could detect emotions very well and handed over the drawing.


    ¡°This youth¡­..¡±


    The Bloor Corpse Palace Lord took the drawing and his expression started to change as he remembered a piece of memory.


    Could this Palace Lord, one of the deciders of the Alliance, know the youth?


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord stared at the drawing for a long time and felt it was very familiar to a youth.


    Thinking back to the humiliation that youth had given him, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord was engulfed in anger.


    Back then at the Scarlet Moon Cave, the Blood Corpse Protector had just woken and was in a weakened state.


    At that point in time, he had wanted to use Zhao Feng and company to use as a blood sacrifice but was instead defeated by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Send the order to find out this youth¡¯s history and I want him alive.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord took his gaze back from the drawing.


    Several years later, Zhao Feng¡¯s appearance and characteristics had changed so although the Blood Corpse Palace Lord felt that he was familiar, he wasn¡¯t certain.


    However, he would rather ¡®kill by accident rather than let him go.¡¯


    Several days later, within the Sky Rich strong country mountains.


    Hu~~


    An eagle flew tiredly through the air.


    Zhao Feng sat on the eagle and slowly opened his eyes and asked: ¡°How many days have passed by in total?¡±


    ¡°Brother Zhao, from that day onwards, you¡¯ve slept a total of twelve days and every time you woke up it was only for a short while.¡±


    Third Highness said.


    Sou Sou!


    The eagle landed into a canyon surrounded by mist.


    Half the time it took to make tea later.


    A small village appeared in sight.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, this is one of the core strongholds of the Dragon Killing Alliance.¡±


    Elder Jiang was scared that Zhao Feng would keep on sleeping.


    Over the past few days, Zhao Feng¡¯s ¡®sleeping problem¡¯ didn¡¯t show any signs of changing but every time he woke up his left eye would turn to watery blue.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s icy cold aura started to become cool and his blue hair became softer.


    Within the dimension of his left eye.


    The nine-point nine yard frozen pond had almost fully melted into water.


    ¡°I can still last a while before I fall asleep. Hopefully, I can see the upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance.¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke.


    ¡°Third Highness, go tell Old Su quickly.¡±


    Elder Jiang immediately said but soon after he spoke.


    ¡°Master is in seclusion and won¡¯t see any guests. If you need anything, I can tell him later.¡±


    A beauty wearing a blue dress walked out from the village. Her voice was as soft as wind and had an air of elegance to her. She didn¡¯t lose her nobility and her looks were definitely top tier amongst the Cloud area.


    Compared to her, the number one beauty of the Sun Feather City was like rice grains compared to the glow of moonlight.


    ¡°Princess Jin!¡±


    The eyes of all the males present lit up and their footsteps paused.


    ''Princess Jin'' was the quiet, elegance type of woman most men liked and she was once the Princess of a strong country.


    Princess Jin had come back from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering not long ago and there were legends about her already.

 447 The Glory of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering

    ¡°Master is in seclusion and won¡¯t see any guests. If you need anything, I can tell him later.¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s voice was as soft as a stream and her eyes were like water. She wore an elegant medieval dress and seemed like a goddess from a picture.


    Beautiful, but not sexy. Pretty, but not devastating.


    Princess Jin had reached an incredible level of understanding beauty.


    The males all forgot to breathe. Their footsteps stalled as they dodged Princess Jin¡¯s eyes from the guilt in their heart.


    ¡°Ninth sister!¡±


    Third Highness smiled as he met his sister.


    ¡°Jin¡¯er¡­ are Old Su¡¯s injuries still not recovered?¡±


    Elder Jiang asked solemnly.


    Princess Jin shook her head with slight bitterness, ¡°Master was schemed against by several True Lord Ranks and heavily injured. It¡¯s already a miracle he survived.¡±


    Hearing this, the group from the Sky Rich Imperial family was disappointed.


    ¡°Elder Jiang, who¡¯s the esteemed guest that wanted to meet Master?¡±


    Princess Jin regained her emotions and looked toward the group.


    Only then did Elder Jiang and Third Highness react.


    ¡°Ninth sister, I¡¯ll introduce you. This is Zhao¡­ eh?¡±


    Third Highness suddenly stopped speaking as he turned around.


    When they turned around, Zhao Feng was gone.


    Soon, everyone¡¯s gaze moved toward the grass.


    On the grass lay a blue-haired youth who slept quietly with a soft snore.


    ¡°He¡­ fell asleep again.¡±


    The group from the Sky Rich Imperials exclaimed but weren¡¯t very surprised.


    Over the past twelve days, they had already gotten used to Zhao Feng¡¯s sleeping problem.


    ¡°Who is he?¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s face was as calm as water, but the coldness in her voice showed her unhappiness.


    Any youth that met the legendary ¡°Princess Jin¡± would probably feel uneasy and not want to be disrespectful.


    But this youth fell asleep when meeting her.


    In the village, the expressions of the Dragon Killing Alliance elites were all stunned and colorful.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen someone fall asleep in front of the number one beauty of the Sky Rich Strong Country.¡±


    ¡°Interesting. Princess Jin would definitely agree. However, with her upbringing, she won¡¯t show it.¡±


    The people present discussed and waited to watch a good show.


    ¡°Hehe, ninth sister, this esteemed guest¡¯s situation is a bit unique¡­¡±


    Third Highness smiled awkwardly and started to explain.


    ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such an ¡®esteemed guest.¡¯ Although you¡¯re the Third Highness of the Sky Rich Imperials, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re overdoing it by bringing a random stranger to the Dragon Killing Alliance¡¯s headquarters?¡±


    Princess Jin was still pure and holy, but the questioning in her voice made the atmosphere tense.


    In terms of status, Princess Jin was only higher than Third Highness.


    The people present weren¡¯t surprised.


    Princess Jin was the number one genius of the Sky Rich Strong Country and had participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Furthermore, she was Old Su¡¯s disciple.


    In terms of talent, Princess Jin had already reached the True Human Rank and she wasn¡¯t even twenty years old yet. In the Cloud area, this was a prodigy.


    ¡°Ninth sister¡­. Brother Zhao was once the number one genius of the Thirteen Countries and helped us on the way¡­¡±


    Cold sweat poured down Third Highness¡¯ face.


    Although Princess Jin was his sister, she had been picked by the Sky Wind Pavilion when she was young. Her status within the Sky Rich Imperials was also unique.


    She had the identity of a Princess, she was a once-in-a-hundred-years genius of the Sky Wind Pavilion, and she acted as the button between the Imperials and the Clans.


    In the eyes of cultivators, she was even more important than the past Sky Rich King.


    At this moment in time, facing Princess Jin¡¯s questioning, Third Highness felt a great pressure. With his understanding of his sister, he knew that she was angry.


    Even the brown-robed Elder Jiang was sweating coldly.


    With Old Su in seclusion, Princess Jin was his representative.


    Zhao Feng knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.


    If there was no major movement or killing intent or danger approaching, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t wake up easily.


    The sleep this time was extremely different from last time.


    ¡°Take this human and cat away. No one is to go near without my orders.¡±


    Although Princess Jin was soft and kind, her orders were decisive.


    As soon as she said this.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    Several figures from within the village quickly surrounded Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    ¡°Jin¡¯er, don¡¯t!¡±


    Elder Jiang¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he tried to stop them.


    He knew that this youth was a True Mystic Rank expert with unfathomable strength.


    Because he was asleep, Zhao Feng¡¯s aura was very weak and unable to be detected.


    The atmosphere became extremely solemn. Elder Jiang and Third Highness tried their best to stop Princess Jin¡¯s orders.


    ¡°You¡¯re going to stop my orders?¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s face became slightly cold. She didn¡¯t expect this to happen.


    Why would Elder Jiang and Third Highness protect this youth and even take him to the core of the Dragon Killing Alliance?


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws as it sat on its owner¡¯s body and surveyed the members of the Dragon Killing Alliance nearby.


    ¡°Eh? This cat¡­¡±


    Princess Jin suddenly felt that it was familiar.


    The little thieving cat merged with a memory from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°Little thieving cat¡­. Blue-haired youth¡­¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s eyes spun as she started to inspect the youth¡¯s appearance.


    Zhao Feng had laid down with his back to Princess Jin so she could only see a bit.


    ¡°He¡­ he¡¯s¡­!¡±


    After looking closely, Princess Jin¡¯s heart sped up.


    ¡°But, how is this possible¡­? How could he appear here?¡±


    Her face was full of surprise and she couldn¡¯t help but exclaim as she stared at the blue-haired youth on the grass.


    This 180-degree change in attitude made the jaws of the people fall onto the ground.


    Just a moment ago, her face was cold and tense.


    In the blink of an eye, Princess Jin¡¯s attitude had turned around.


    It was said that understanding a woman was like trying to find a needle in the ocean.


    At this point in time, everyone understood what it meant.


    Princess Jin¡¯s cheeks were red and full of excitement and joy. There was admiration from the bottom of her heart and a rare caringness.


    Third Highness¡¯ mouth was wide open and he suddenly realized that he didn¡¯t understand his ninth sister.


    This was the first time he had seen an expression of shyness and caring from Princess Jin.


    ¡°What secret does this Zhao Feng have for the number one beauty of the Sky Rich Strong Country to be moved?¡±


    Even Elder Jiang, who was extremely knowledgeable, couldn¡¯t help but be shocked.


    ¡°Elder Jiang. Third brother. It¡¯s heaven¡¯s will that you could bring him to the Dragon Killing Alliance.¡±


    Princess Jin took a deep breath as her heart sped up. Her eyes were glued to the blue-haired youth and couldn¡¯t be moved.


    After that, everyone saw Princess Jin pick up the sleeping Zhao Feng, lay him down on a soft bed, and personally serve him.


    In the village, the elites of the Dragon Killing Alliance questioned their eyes.


    The goddess in their hearts ¨C the number one genius of the Sky Rich Strong Country, Princess Jin ¨C had personally served a youth her own age.


    Zhao Feng smelt something good in his dreams and turned around, one of his arms lightly touching Princess Jin¡¯s butt.


    Princess Jin¡¯s face turned red as blood before leaving Zhao Feng in a clean room and taking off.


    Before she left, she glanced back at the sleeping Zhao Feng with care and emotion.


    A while later, in a building within the village.


    ¡°Ninth sister, how do you know Brother Zhao?¡±


    Third Highness asked impatiently.


    At this moment, this was the question in everyone¡¯s hearts. Even the old Elder Jiang was curious.


    In their hearts, Princess Jin was higher than the sky. When did she ever put a youth in the Cloud area in her eyes?


    ¡°I know him, but does he know me?¡±


    Princess Jin sighed.


    At this moment in time, memories flew through her mind.


    At the start of the memory, Princess Jin was standing in the ancient arena with several thousand other geniuses and was nothing in comparison.


    In the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, a measly early stage True Human Rank genius like her was in the bottom of the group.


    Looking at the others, she was extremely ordinary and couldn¡¯t even be compared to the overwhelming prodigies.


    In the group, she watched the performances of the five overwhelming prodigies and how they pushed this generation to a peak.


    Without any doubt, she lost the first battle.


    She lost the second.


    She lost the third.


    She didn¡¯t even make it past the first stage of the ¡°Battle of Five Zones.¡± She was severely injured midway and couldn¡¯t continue.


    Of course, she wasn¡¯t willing to leave early because she still wanted to watch the clash of geniuses.


    The Sacred True Dragon Gathering continued.


    She saw a rising dark horse become an overwhelming prodigy.


    That youth had blue hair and a pet cat with him. The pair ignited the emotions of every corner within the ancient arena.


    Turning the tide, miracle after miracle¡­. The youth in their sight ascended step by step.


    Unknowingly, her eyes became teary and she cheered him on.


    No one knew how much support the two got or how many fans cheered them on.


    A thought usually happened in an instant. The images flashed by in Princess Jin¡¯s mind.


    She never would have thought that the legendary youth would be standing so close to her and she could watch his every inhale and exhale.

 448 Iron Cloud Death Ne

    Within the building.


    Princess Jin recovered from her flash of memory and her eyes became bright again.


    However, awaiting her were curious gazes.


    ¡°Ninth sister, how did you meet this Zhao Feng?¡±


    Third Highness couldn¡¯t hold it in.


    Two years ago, Zhao Feng was the number one genius of the Thirteen Countries and a wanted man.


    The two shouldn¡¯t know each other, but then, why did Princess Jin say, ¡°I know him, but does he know me?¡±


    ¡°This Zhao Feng has already reached the True Mystic Rank at such a young age. Who would have imagined that a genius like this came from the Cloud area? He would probably be considered a genius even by the entire continent.¡±


    Elder Jiang couldn¡¯t help but say.


    Princess Jin¡¯s eyes twinkled, but she didn¡¯t immediately answer.


    If they were to know that Zhao Feng was one of the overwhelming prodigies of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, how shocked would they be?


    Every cultivator knew very clearly that the Cloud area was only a poor countryside.


    In the past, the representatives participating in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering were full of glory.


    After some deep thought, Princess Jin made a decision.


    ¡°I met Zhao Feng in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. His performance was indeed stunning and he¡¯s even one of the more outstanding ones.¡±


    Princess Jin said softly and smiled.


    She hid Zhao Feng¡¯s overwhelming display because, although Zhao Feng was strong, he was still a junior. If the Iron Dragon Alliance were to know that an ¡°overwhelming prodigy¡± was their enemy, they would panic and try to kill him no matter the cost.


    Princess Jin¡¯s thoughts were correct, but she didn¡¯t know how much stronger Zhao Feng had become after entering the inheritance.


    She didn¡¯t enter the True Dragon One Hundred Strong, hence the reason she was able to return so quickly back to the Cloud area.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. This Zhao Feng also participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    Everyone in the building understood. No wonder Princess Jin knew Zhao Feng.


    However, they were still curious as to why Princess Jin was so excited after recognizing Zhao Feng.


    Elder Jiang guessed that Zhao Feng¡¯s performance stood out in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. After all, his cultivation was high.


    He was certain that Princess Jin had hidden some secrets, but if she didn¡¯t want to say anything then he wouldn¡¯t ask.


    Five or six days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Feng spent most of that time sleeping.


    Princess Jin stayed by Zhao Feng¡¯s side and occasionally played with the little thieving cat.


    Zhao Feng had woken up several times during this period of time, and his left eye was cool and calm.


    Compared to when he was in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and his eye was cold and icy, it was now as calm as water.


    This aura was extremely close to Princess Jin¡¯s comprehension of Water.


    His blue hair was as broad as the ocean, and Princess Jin¡¯s consciousness would become lost in the limitless abyss whenever she looked at it.


    This legendary youth and his eye bloodline had created a myth and he was filled with mystery.


    However, what made Princess Jin disappointed was that Zhao Feng would only stay awake for a short amount of time before going back to sleep.


    Princess Jin was disappointed, but this was all within expectations. She was too expectant.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, my Master will exit seclusion several days later. He¡¯s the leader of the Dragon Killing Alliance. He¡¯ll be looking forward to meeting you.¡±


    Princess Jin smiled and quickly told Zhao Feng this news while she could.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng¡¯s pupil contracted and he nodded his head.


    Although he spent most of his time sleeping, he knew the purpose of this visit.


    Old Su from the Dragon Killing Alliance was one of the reasons Zhao Feng stayed in the Sky Rich Strong Country.


    Zhao Feng estimated that he only needed to ¡°sleep¡± two or three more times before he would be able to meet Old Su.


    He soon fell asleep again.


    Princess Jin sighed and walked out, while the little thieving cat smiled from behind.


    She understood that, with the little thieving cat¡¯s protection, Zhao Feng was safe and didn¡¯t need to be worried about.


    Late night.


    The mist of the village was filled with coldness.


    Hu Sou Sou----


    The screeching sound of hurried flying appeared.


    Hu~


    A terrifying aura descended from the sky and a ghostly figure appeared, with a weird laugh that chilled the bone.


    ¡°Enemy attack!¡±


    The guard on the night shift hiccupped coldly as he felt his energy become frozen, but he managed to squeeze out these two words.


    ¡°Not good! Enemy attack!!¡±


    The quietness of the village was soon broken by hurried shouts.


    Princess Jin¡¯s heart jumped and, when she raised her head, she saw that the sky was enveloped by a giant dark-gray net.


    This giant dark-gray net was controlled by thirty-six masked skeletal figures and it formed an ¡°iron net¡± over the sky of the village.


    ¡°Shit, this is the Iron Cloud Death Net of the Iron Dragon Alliance. It was created by True Lord Tiexiao and it¡¯s used for ambushes and it restricts the experts within a certain area.¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s face went pale white.


    The Iron Cloud Death Net was a unique array usually controlled by one or two True Human Ranks and thirty-four sixth or seventh sky Ascended Realm elites.


    The special feature of this array was that it could be formed extremely quickly and, although it didn¡¯t have much offensive capability, it was like a metal cage that stopped the trapped victims from flying away.


    At this point in time, the Iron Cloud Death Net had already formed above the village and the sparkling dark-gray wires became colder.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. The Iron Cloud Death Net has been formed. Everything under it is a caged bird. Spawn of the Sky Rich Seven Clans, come out and surrender!¡±


    A dark-red-robed fat baldy leaned against a mountain with an excited expression.


    ¡°Core Elder, I didn¡¯t think that we¡¯d find a core stronghold of the Dragon Killing Alliance by following that blue-haired youth. This is our Eighteenth Palace¡¯s chance.¡±


    ¡°For this mission, almost everyone from the Eighteenth Palace is here. With the Iron Cloud Death Net, even that old monster Su from the Dragon Killing Alliance won¡¯t be able to escape.¡±


    Figures appeared on the mountain. Amongst them, three or four were at the True Spirit Realm, and there were more than a dozen half-step True Spirit Realms. This number didn¡¯t include the two True Spirit Realms in control of the Iron Cloud Death Net.


    Everyone seemed to be led by the dark-red-robed ¡°fat baldy.¡±


    The village soon formed a defensive formation after some panic, but most of their expressions were filled with despair.


    The Iron Dragon Alliance had used an entire Palace¡¯s power to attack, and they had even formed the terrifying Iron Cloud Death Net.


    ¡°Once the Iron Cloud Death Net forms, anyone under the True Mystic Rank won¡¯t be able to fly and they¡¯ll become a caged bird.¡±


    Elder Jiang, Third Highness, and company had given up as they formed the defensive array with the other members of the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t panic. If we work together we still have a chance.¡±


    ¡°Old Su will exit seclusion soon and will help us push back the enemy.¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s soft voice resounded across the area.


    The most important task right now was to calm everyone down. Only then would they have the ability to fight.


    Hearing the name ¡°Old Su,¡± hope and battle intent glowed in everyone¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°The Eighteenth Palace of the Iron Dragon Alliance is here and the eighteenth Core Elder has arrived. He is known for his cunningness and specializes in prolonging battles.¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but be filled with bitterness as she inspected the enemy.


    The Iron Dragon Alliance has thirty-six Core Elders, each in charge of a respective Palace.


    Core Elders were the pillars holding up the Iron Dragon Alliance. Every one of them could rule one side and were almost all at the True Mystic Rank. Some True Mystic Rank experts might not even be able to become a Core Elder.


    ¡°There¡¯re two True Mystic Rank or higher experts within the village. One is Old Su, whose strength has fallen to the True Mystic Rank after being injured, and the other is sleeping¡­¡±


    Princess Jin analyzed the situation.


    In terms of top-tier powers, the Dragon Killing Alliance had no advantage at all.


    Furthermore, the Iron Dragon Alliance had more True Human Ranks as well.


    What was more terrifying was that the Iron Dragon Alliance had ambushed them and set up an Iron Cloud Death Net, which could lock down the village. As time passed, even more reinforcements from the Iron Dragon Alliance would arrive.


    This Eighteenth Core Elder just had to specialize in prolonging battles.


    ¡°Brothers, lock down the village and don¡¯t let out even a single fly. When we take down this village you can play with that ¡®Princess.¡¯¡±


    The fat baldy¡¯s face was oily and the fat gently shook.


    He scanned Princess Jin with lustful eyes and, as soon as he said this, the members of the Iron Dragon Alliance rubbed their hands together and licked their lips.


    However, the Eighteenth Core Elder wasn¡¯t in a hurry and organized the troops step by step, mainly focusing on surrounding the village.


    ¡°The longer this lasts, the higher chance of our victory. The people inside the village will definitely try to break through. All we need to do is wait.¡±


    The fat baldy leaned against the mountain and, although he seemed lustful, the depths of his eyes were calm.


    His Spiritual Sense scanned across the village. The blue-haired youth called ¡°Zhao Feng¡± was apparently at the True Mystic Rank and the fat baldy was ready for him.


    ¡°Kill! Kill!¡±


    Within the village, Princess Jin, Elder Jiang, and the other True Spirit Realm elites sent a wave of attacks trying to break out.


    Ding Ding Ding----


    The dark-gray wires in the sky sparked but didn¡¯t break.


    Even those at the True Mystic Rank could only temporarily create a mini-hole, but the hole could be fixed quickly with the array¡¯s power.


    Plop Plop Plop!


    In the first round of attacks, four or five people from the Dragon Killing Alliance fell, whereas only one from the Iron Dragon Alliance died.


    The Iron Cloud Death Net was like a well-guarded fort that required a heavy price to forcefully break through.


    The hearts of Princess Jin, Elder Jiang, and the other True Spirit Realm experts fell.

 449 Change of the Eye 1

    Above the village, the dark-gray wires were like cold glittering spiderwebs that covered a one-mile radius.


    The net created by thirty-six cultivators transformed those below into caged birds, unable to fly even if they had wings.


    The members of the Dragon Killing Alliance despaired.


    The Iron Cloud Death Net¡¯s power was greater than they imagined and the first round of trying to break out ended in failure.


    ¡°The Cloud area is ruled by the Iron Dragon Alliance and the longer this drags out, the smaller the chance of escape.¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s heart raged like a fire, but she pretended to be calm so that nobody panicked.


    The Iron Dragon Alliance had the advantage and didn¡¯t hurry to attack, obviously wanting to finish them all off at once.


    The Eighteenth Core Elder ¨C the fat baldy ¨C squinted. His eyes occasionally flickered coldly.


    ¡°The spawn of the Dragon Killing Alliance have to break out if they want to escape, but I only have to defend instead of attack.¡±


    The fat baldy lay against the mountain with a cunning smile.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t forget to release his Spiritual Sense to the village below. His target was the blue-haired youth, ¡°Zhao Feng.¡±


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s upper Palace Lord had sent a Rank One Killing Order, he wouldn¡¯t have used the entirety of the Eighteenth Palace¡¯s strength.


    In reality, according to previous experience, those with a Rank One Killing Order weren¡¯t something a palace could deal with alone.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The fat baldy¡¯s Spiritual Sense locked onto a room.


    Inside the room was a blue-haired youth who slept quietly. Next to him lay the snoozing thieving cat.


    The killing outside didn¡¯t seem to affect them.


    The fat baldy couldn¡¯t help but reveal a weird look. This super-young kid was the Rank One Killing Order¡¯s target?


    ¡°Everyone, defend properly for the next wave of attacks from the Dragon Killing Alliance and get ready to attack.¡±


    The Eighteenth Core Elder took back his Spiritual Sense and his smile became bigger, as if victory was already in his grasp.


    He didn¡¯t make any rash moves, continuing to defend with the Iron Cloud Death Net.


    This was the easiest tactic, getting the best result with the smallest price.


    ¡°Kill~~~~~¡±


    The Dragon Killing Alliance started their second round of attacks, which were even more fierce than before, but they were met with the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s counterattacks and left behind more than a dozen bodies.


    Weng~~


    The dark-gray wires soon repaired themselves like nothing happened.


    Within the village, the True Human Ranks were Princess Jin, Elder Jiang, and a gray-robed man.


    This meant that the Dragon Killing Alliance only had three pillars.


    ¡°Princess Jin, if Old Su still doesn¡¯t make a move, we¡¯ll die even if we can rush out. The Eighteenth Core Elder hasn¡¯t even attacked yet.¡±


    The True Human Rank gray-robed man wiped the blood from his mouth and shook his head bitterly.


    The battle power of a True Mystic Rank was enough to change the tide.


    ¡°Jin¡¯er, quickly make Old Su come out of seclusion or else the result will be unthinkable.¡±


    Elder Jiang couldn¡¯t help but urge.


    Princess Jin cried bitterly in her heart. Her Master was at the critical moment of recovering, and if he exited in a rush there would be a lot of damage to his foundation.


    Right as Princess Jin was troubled, a deep roar came from within the depths of the village:


    ¡°Jin¡¯er, don¡¯t panic. I will come out now!¡±


    The deep voice seemed to come from the opposite side of the ocean.


    Wu~


    A chaotic gust of wind blew around the village and caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to move.


    The overwhelming power made the Eighteenth Core Elder¡¯s expression change dramatically and everyone¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    ¡°True Lord Rank!¡±


    ¡°Old Su from the Dragon Killing Alliance is really here?¡±


    Panic appeared in the True Spirit Realm experts of the Iron Dragon Alliance, but it wasn¡¯t the fear they should have when facing normal True Lord Ranks.


    Wuhu~


    A white-bearded elder surrounded by a red and green flame floated to the skies above the village.


    Crack!


    The elder thrusted out his palm and, with a burst of dazzling light, created a ten-yard-wide hole in the dark-gray wire.


    ¡°Old Su!¡±


    ¡°Old Su¡¯s here!¡±


    Joyful shouts came from the village.


    This newcomer was the leader of the Dragon Killing Alliance, Old Su. He was one of the True Lord Ranks in the Cloud area that could be counted on one hand.


    ¡°This Su Tianchen was the Grand Elder of the Sky Wind Pavilion and led a resistance against the Iron Dragon Strong Country for many years.¡±


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his foundation is damaged and his strength has now dropped to the True Mystic Rank, we would probably run in fear.¡±


    The several True Spirit Realm experts from the Iron Dragon Alliance felt lucky.


    ¡°Hahaha, Su Tianchen, let this Elder see how much strength you still have.¡±


    The bald fatty laughed as a white bone sword appeared in his hand. With a ¡°weng,¡± the bone sword gave off a dark flame which made it more wicked and cold.


    ¡°Wicked Sword Blaze!¡±


    The Eighteenth Core Elder twisted his white bone sword.


    Qiu----


    A chaotic gust of wind accompanying red and green flames sped toward ¡°Old Su.¡±


    The fat baldy¡¯s attack was extremely cunning and didn¡¯t just focus on Old Su, purposely spreading toward the members of the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    ¡°Shameless bastard!¡±


    Old Su roared deeply as green whirlpools appeared around him with a wave of his sleeves.


    These green whirlpools quickly absorbed the fat baldy¡¯s attacks and protected the others from the village.


    The two¡¯s battle power was close to the peak True Mystic Rank. The remains of their battle even threatened those at the True Human Rank and was a disaster for those under the True Spirit Realm.


    To evade a terrible result, Old Su had to expend more energy and circulate more Qi of True Spirit.


    Boom boom bam----


    Old Su and the fat baldy exchanged heavy blows in the air.


    In this period of time, Old Su negated all of the fat baldy¡¯s cunning attacks but had to use more energy in the process.


    Boom---


    A scorching green light shot up into the sky and forcefully pierced through the Iron Cloud Death Net.


    ¡°Wah!¡±


    The Eighteenth Core Elder harrumphed deeply as he was pushed back dozens of yards and a dribble of blood leaked from his mouth.


    ¡°Even though he¡¯s dropped to the True Mystic Rank, he still has the mastery of the True Lord Rank. I can¡¯t fight him by myself.¡±


    The fat baldy wasn¡¯t surprised.


    Seeing the Eighteenth Elder be pushed back, the members of the Dragon Killing Alliance exclaimed in joy.


    ¡°Everyone, come with me and break out~~~¡±


    Old Su instantly organized the members of the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    Princess Jin suddenly remembered something and ordered someone to carry Zhao Feng over.


    The fighting was ongoing, but Zhao Feng still slept deeply.


    It was the little thieving cat whose eyes twirled around and inspected the friends and foes.


    ¡°Prepare to break out!¡±


    Princess Jin protected Zhao Feng and started another round of offense.


    With Old Su here, two holes were instantly ripped in the Iron Cloud Death Net.


    The Eighteenth Core Elder smiled but didn¡¯t panic when he saw this. He said, ¡°If you¡¯re not going to appear now, when will you attack?¡±


    ¡°Hehe, this battle¡¯s too boring. This Elder almost fell asleep.¡±


    The faint laugh of a woman sounded in the air.


    Shua!


    In the night, a slender figure appeared on a tree.


    Who¡¯s there!?


    The footsteps of those from the Dragon Killing Alliance stiffened as they turned around.


    Behind them, a mysterious woman had appeared out of nowhere. Her voluptuous figure and black dress seemed to merge into the night.


    No one knew when this mysterious woman had entered the village. Even Old Su, who was in a rush, didn¡¯t realize.


    ¡°It¡¯s you¡­. The Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s Tenth Core Elder!¡±


    Old Su¡¯s eyes flashed coldly and recognized the person¡¯s identity. It was obvious they had interacted before.


    Tenth Core Elder!


    The hearts of both parties shook.


    Everyone knew that the Iron Dragon Alliance had thirty-six Core Elders who were almost all at the True Mystic Rank.


    However, amongst the thirty-six Core Elders, the first ten had terrifying methods and couldn¡¯t be measured by the norm.


    This Tenth Core Elder had reached the peak True Mystic Rank and, if this was placed in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering several months ago, only Yu Tianhao would be her match.


    ¡°Hehe, Su Tianchen, looks like your scars have disappeared, but you¡¯ve only recovered 30% of your battle power.¡±


    The slender black-dressed woman laughed lightly and disappeared with a ¡°Shua!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡±


    Old Su roared as he turned into a bright flash of light that appeared in front of Princess Jin.


    Qiu---


    A sharp dagger suddenly stabbed toward Princess Jin.


    More precisely, toward Zhao Feng who was in front of Princess Jin.


    Ding!


    At the critical moment, Old Su blocked the dagger.


    Shua!


    The slender woman dressed in black once again disappeared. She appeared behind Princess Jin as her sharp dagger slashed out in an arc.


    This time, her attack enveloped Princess Jin, Zhao Feng, and Old Su at the same time.


    ¡°There¡¯s killing intent¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng, who was dreaming, managed to open his eye a tiny bit and his blue hair started to ripple.


    Bam!


    Old Su once again rushed over, and his body released a surge of green light as he took the blow for Princess Jin and Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Old Su!¡±


    ¡°Master~~~~!¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s face went pale-white and her eyes went red.


    Old Su¡¯s chest was spotted with blood and his figure shook slightly.


    ¡°Su Tianchen, your flaw is the same as usual. If you weren¡¯t so intent on your emotions back then, you wouldn¡¯t have fallen into our trap.¡±


    A mocking smile appeared on the Tenth Core Elder¡¯s face.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng, who was resting on Princess Jin, managed to open his eyes sleepily.


    Maybe because he was woken up by an outside force, his left eye began to tremble. The freezing pond occasionally changed back and forth, from ice to water and then from water to ice. It would also become azure every once in a while.

 450 Change of the Eye 2

    Zhao Feng¡¯s situation obviously attracted the attention of both friends and enemies alike. After all, he was a True Mystic Rank and a Rank One Killing Order had been placed on him.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s situation made others suspicious of whether he could even stand.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, this mission is pretty good. A foundation-injured True Lord Rank and a weak True Mystic Rank genius.¡±


    The Eighteenth Core Elder flew into the air.


    He led part of his troops and formed a pincer attack on Zhao Feng, Old Su, Princess Jin, and the key figures.


    ¡°Su Tianchen, a True Lord Rank, will now die by my hands.¡±


    The slender black-dressed woman rubbed her short dagger


    In reality, the blow just then hadn¡¯t injured Old Su very much, but she already grasped victory in her hands because she knew Old Su¡¯s weakness.


    Old Su was, without a doubt, powerful. The two Elders would only be confident in defeating him if they teamed up.


    However, Old Su had to worry about the lives of others and couldn¡¯t use his full strength.


    In addition, what made the slender woman confused was Zhao Feng, who had a Rank One Killing Order on him.


    Being a core member of the Iron Dragon Alliance, she knew what a Rank One Killing Order meant.


    Usually, a Rank One Killing Order¡¯s target was either a True Lord Rank or someone who had humiliated the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    ¡°The Rank One Killing Order¡¯s target is this tired, weak youth?¡±


    The slender woman felt as if this wasn¡¯t real.


    Facing someone with a Rank One Killing Order, even she would be uneasy and take it seriously.


    However, this blue-haired youth didn¡¯t seem to pose any threat and needed the protection of a girl.


    A Rank One Killing Order target was this easy?


    The slender woman and fat baldy exchanged glances with joy in their hearts.


    The reward for completing a Rank One Killing Order was plentiful, enough to make the eyes of most True Spirit Realms go red.


    ¡°Jin¡¯er, this youth is¡­?¡±


    Old Su¡¯s white eyebrows rose as he questioned.


    It wasn¡¯t hard for him to see Zhao Feng¡¯s true cultivation with his True Lord Rank cultivation, and the Tenth Core Elder had also placed great importance on Zhao Feng just then.


    ¡°Tenth Elder, you go stall Old Monster Su. I¡¯ll capture this brat. Remember not to kill him.¡±


    The fat baldy was overfilled with happiness.


    This time¡¯s Rank One Killing Order was different than usual and required the target to be alive.


    ¡°Hmph, do you think I¡¯ll let you have all the credit? I¡¯ll leave Old Monster Su to you.¡±


    The slender woman ignored the Eighteenth Elder and flashed toward Zhao Feng and Princess Jin.


    The fat baldy gritted his teeth but couldn¡¯t go against her.


    The rankings of the thirty-six Core Elders were directly linked to their strength and status.


    He knew how strong she was and obviously couldn¡¯t take the credit from her.


    ¡°Su Tianchen, let¡¯s play.¡±


    The fat baldy waved his white bone sword with a dim expression and slashed out sword flames to stall Old Su.


    As for the slender woman, her movement was unpredictable and aimed toward Princess Jin and Zhao Feng.


    However, with Old Su¡¯s level, he was able to see where the slender woman moved and blocked the two Core Elders immediately.


    ¡°Tenth Elder, why not slay this old undead first? It¡¯s also a large credit.¡±


    The fat baldy suggested with some infuriation.


    ¡°En, this old undead is pretty troublesome.¡±


    The slender woman¡¯s attacks suddenly split and shot toward Old Su¡¯s flaw.


    Old Su needed to protect Zhao Feng and Princess Jin together at the same time and cried bitterly in his heart.


    If he was at his peak, he could obviously kill the two Elders in just a short while, but now his strength had dropped to the True Mystic Rank level.


    ¡°Master¡­¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s eyes started to get teary and turned toward the blue-haired youth.


    She sighed in her heart, ¡°If you can bring out even half the strength you had at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, this situation would be easily solved.¡±


    Right at this moment, the blue-haired youth¡¯s figure moved slightly.


    ¡°The change in the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye this time seems to be different than before.¡±


    Zhao Feng groaned and covered his left eye. The painful bloating sensation was ten times to hundreds of times more painful.


    If it weren¡¯t for his strong will, he probably would have fainted already.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, the nine-point-nine-yards frozen pond had almost fully melted and ripples appeared in the water.


    However, this state wasn¡¯t fully stable.


    Every once in a while, the water would turn into ice and emit a chill.


    The power of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye revolved around ice and water. If that was all though then it wouldn¡¯t be much, but the water would occasionally sparkle azure and the aura of its element would change.


    Every time this happened, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye would become azure.


    ¡°Your hair¡­¡±


    Princess Jin suddenly realized that Zhao Feng¡¯s blue hair had turned azure for an instant.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat quietly surveyed Zhao Feng¡¯s eye and hair with a weird look before starting to think.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? My God¡¯s Spiritual Eye hasn¡¯t evolved but it can change between ice and water and even go back to the element it once had.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to find a pattern.


    Before the change last time, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and hair were azure, and just then the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye gave off the aura from before the change.


    Ding Ding Peng Boom----


    Zhao Feng felt a white-bearded elder protect him.


    As time passed, Old Su became more and more tired. He had to fight two Core Elders at once while protecting Zhao Feng and Princess Jin.


    At a certain point in time, the offense of the two Core Elders rose to a peak and they pushed Old Su back.


    Old Su was already injured from protecting Zhao Feng and company when his old injuries broke out again.


    Wah!


    Old Su spat out a mouthful of blood and his face went white.


    ¡°Master!¡±


    Princess Jin yelled with sadness.


    ¡°Good chance!¡±


    The two Core Elders looked at each other with happiness.


    Illusion Sky Fake Stab!


    The slender woman¡¯s figure suddenly turned blurry.


    Qiu-----


    A wave of blades, stacked on top of each other, descended from the sky toward Zhao Feng and Princess Jin.


    The wave of blades first went toward Princess Jin and it seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. It was impossible to evade.


    ¡°Kill Princess Jin first, then capture Zhao Feng.¡±


    The slender woman¡¯s blurry figure merged into the darkness as her killing intent was released.


    Facing an attack of this level, Princess Jin couldn¡¯t counterattack or dodge at all and her face went pale-white.


    ¡°Jin¡¯er!¡±


    Old Su spat out a mouthful of blood and exclaimed.


    Zhao Feng, who was leaning on Princess Jin, was expressionless, and his face was filled with sleepiness.


    The Tenth Core Elder¡¯s eyes flashed with a weird light. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any fear even in this situation.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­¡±


    The slender woman¡¯s face went cold and she slashed toward Princess Jin¡¯s snow-white neck.


    In that instant, Princess Jin closed her eyes. Old Su roared but could do nothing.


    As for Third Highness and company, their thoughts couldn¡¯t even keep up.


    Ding!


    A crisp snap rang out in the night.


    Time seemed to stop in this moment. Zhao Feng was still leaning on Princess Jin, half-asleep.


    The slender woman was only half a yard away from Zhao Feng and Princess Jin. They could feel each other¡¯s breath.


    However, her footsteps were frozen.


    Crack!


    The dagger in the woman¡¯s hand had snapped in half.


    Miao miao!


    A small dark-gray cat toyed with a transparent dagger and, with a flash, the woman¡¯s weapon was sliced in half.


    ¡°How is this possible? My Twilight Night Dagger is a rare Mid-Tier Spiritual-Grade inheritance weapon and a rare treasure of assassins.¡±


    The slender woman was dazed. She couldn¡¯t accept this.


    ¡°What!?¡±


    The fat baldy¡¯s jaw had almost fallen to the ground. He watched the slender woman¡¯s Twilight Night Dagger get chopped in half by the little thieving cat¡¯s dagger.


    The ¡°Illusionary Sky Fake Stab¡± was the Tenth Core Elder¡¯s famous move and even normal True Mystic Ranks couldn¡¯t react in time.


    How could the little thieving cat¡¯s speed be so fast as to stop the Tenth Core Elder¡¯s attack in a flash?


    What was more incredible was the little thieving cat¡¯s dagger. What kind of background did it have to be able to slice through Spiritual-grade weapons like tofu?


    Even True Lord Ranks couldn¡¯t do that.


    At this point in time, both sides fell into a momentary daze.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, you shouldn¡¯t release the aura of your weapon so easily¡­. Let me handle it.¡±


    Zhao Feng rubbed his temples tiredly.


    Back at the Purple Saint Treasured Palace, even the Purple Saint Partial Spirit panicked when the little thieving cat got this mysterious inheritance weapon.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat nodded its head and instantly took back the mysterious transparent dagger.


    As soon as he spoke, Zhao Feng slowly stood up.


    ¡°Dumb brat, you can¡¯t do anything at all and want to fight back?¡±


    The fat baldy recovered from the momentary shock.


    The cat¡¯s performance just then had stunned him, but he soon realized that the little thieving cat¡¯s threat came from the mysterious dagger.


    ¡°Hand over that dagger¡­¡±


    The expression of the black-dressed woman soon turned from shock to greed and overwhelming joy.


    If this mysterious dagger fell into the hands of a true assassin, what kind of legend would it create?


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with the two Elders. He opened the power of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye impatiently as he fought the urge to sleep.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye turned from a calm blue to a freezing cold, then to a sharp azure glint.


    The three elements of water, ice, and wind signaled the beginning of the unknown.

 451 Change of the Eye 3

    ¡°Watch out for his eye bloodline!¡±


    The Eighteenth Core Elder noticed the change in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and couldn¡¯t help but warn the slender woman.


    They had obviously looked at the history of the number one genius of the Thirteen Countries.


    His eye bloodline was his specialty.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye underwent an unknown change. It was occasionally cold and icy, then calm as water, then swift as the wind.


    Zhao Feng forcefully suppressed the bloating sensation and pain before managing to step out.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ you¡­¡±


    Princess Jin quickly helped Zhao Feng. She was half happy and half worried when she saw Zhao Feng open his left eye.


    She had seen the power of his left eye at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and it was probably better than the three major eye families.


    However, could Zhao Feng still attack in his current state?


    The little thieving cat sat on his shoulder and didn¡¯t move, but its black eyes twinkled.


    It was probably the only one who understood a thing or two.


    After returning to the Cloud area, Zhao Feng aimed toward the Iron Dragon Alliance and used himself as ¡°bait.¡±


    However, at the same time, Zhao Feng left behind hidden cards, such as the Ice Imperial Spear and the True Lord Rank ghost corpses.


    That was why Zhao Feng stopped the little thieving cat and told it to put away the mysterious dagger.


    ¡°Hmph. Fucking cat, hand over the dagger.¡±


    The greed and killing intent in the black-dressed woman¡¯s eyes became stronger, but she didn¡¯t dare ignore Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline.


    Zhao Feng forcefully suppressed his tiredness and circulated the power of his left eye.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the pond¡¯s aura flipped between ice and water with the occasional flash of wind.


    The changes and conversions were what made Zhao Feng feel bloated and painful.


    In everyone¡¯s eyes, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem able to even stand properly and needed Princess Jin to help him.


    ¡°Just you? Hehe, let¡¯s see if your eye bloodline is faster than my assassination skills.¡±


    The slender black-dressed woman smiled gruesomely and a spinning needle appeared in her palm.


    The blue-haired youth still seemed tired, but his left eye successfully locked onto the slender woman.


    The slender woman suddenly felt an uneasiness come from the bottom of her soul and she made a decision in a split second.


    When Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye locked onto her, she had no path of retreat.


    ¡°Illusions Sky Fake Stab!¡±


    The slender woman¡¯s figure once again turned blurry. Only a sharp transparent needle could be seen stabbing toward Zhao Feng¡¯s chest.


    In that instant, all the True Spirit Realm cultivators, Old Su, Princess Jin, the Eighteenth Core Elder, Elder Jiang¡­. They all held their breath.


    The slender woman¡¯s ultimate skill was used once more and her speed reached the maximum. Across the Cloud area, only a small number of those under the True Lord Rank could block this move.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye of ice and water turned back to azure.


    Hu~


    His blue hair suddenly glittered with azure. The familiar azure blood of his bloodline power had returned.


    ¡°It went back to the azure eye from before?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left pupil contracted. He instinctively circulated the azure blood and used an attack similar to the Ice Soul Shooting Line.


    Back when he had the azure eye, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know how to use his eye bloodline very well. Zhao Feng instinctively used an eye bloodline skill when his eye returned to the former azure version.


    Shua---


    In the dark night, a sharp figure was only one or two inches away from Zhao Feng¡¯s heart.


    The heart was the origin of life. Even a True Lord Rank would die if their heart shattered.


    A gruesome and mocking smile appeared on the slender woman¡¯s face. Her experience told her the assassination was complete.


    However, when the tip of the needle was half an inch away from Zhao Feng¡¯s heart, the smile on her face froze and was replaced with puzzlement.


    Shua!


    A half-transparent azure blade sliced across the slender woman¡¯s throat and her blurry figure instantly fell down.


    A straight red line appeared on her neck, cutting deeper and deeper.


    Once the night wind came, the sound of a head falling to the ground could be heard.


    Only then did everyone recover from their dream-like state and take in a cold breath


    No one saw what Zhao Feng did.


    To be precise, he didn¡¯t do anything at all. He only looked at the slender woman with his left eye.


    Only Old Su and a couple others saw the flash of azure in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    ¡°This move¡¯s similar to¡­¡±


    Princess Jin thought back to the Tuoba Family¡¯s bloodline during the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    The Heavenly Piercing Eyes of Tuoba Qi would create invisible slashes that shot toward the target.


    Because the element of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had returned to the wind element just then, Zhao Feng¡¯s copy of the Heavenly Piercing Eyes was much closer to the original than his ice element version.


    Plop!


    The headless body of the slender woman fell in a pool of blood.


    She probably wouldn¡¯t have imagined that she would die to Zhao Feng merely testing out his eye bloodline.


    ¡°Tenth Core Elder¡­!¡±


    The Eighteen Core Elder not far away exclaimed with a grey face.


    He took a cold breath and his heart trembled.


    The fat baldy never would have imagined that the peak True Mystic Rank slender woman would be killed instantly. He started to regret underestimating the target of a Rank One Killing Order.


    Why didn¡¯t he listen to the Blood Sickle Slaughterer¡¯s warning?


    There was no such thing as a regret pill in this world.


    After finishing off the slender woman, Zhao Feng suppressed the urge to sleep and locked onto the Eighteenth Elder with his left eye.


    ¡°Let me live!¡±


    The fat baldy¡¯s soul almost flew off and he kneeled down.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye turned ice blue.


    Ice Soul Shooting Line!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye condensed a ray of light that shot through the Eighteenth Core Elder¡¯s body and soul.


    The fat baldy¡¯s figure instantly froze and coldness spread across his consciousness.


    The next instant, the fat baldy¡¯s consciousness went black and he fell into eternal sleep.


    His state was similar to Li Hong back in the Purple Saint Ruins. His consciousness had entered a state of everlasting ¡°hibernation.¡± Even those at the Void God Realm couldn¡¯t do anything within a short period of time.


    Zhao Feng only looked at the two Elders and defeated them.


    ¡°The Tenth Core Elder is dead!¡±


    ¡°My god! No one knows if the Eighteenth Core Elder is alive either!¡±


    The remaining True Spirit Realms had the fastest reactions and their guts were broken.


    Crack---


    In this chaos and panic, the Iron Cloud Death Net broke.


    The Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s side lost without a battle. The True Spirit Realm leader ran as the array crumbled.


    The members of the Dragon Killing Alliance were dazed and couldn¡¯t react immediately.


    In just a few breaths time, the Iron Dragon Alliance had forced the village into desperation. But, in the blink of an eye, the Iron Dragon Alliance crumbled.


    ¡°Keep on attacking!¡±


    Old Su glanced deeply toward Zhao Feng before ordering the members of the Dragon Killing Alliance to counterattack.


    However, the youth who had performed this miracle had once again fallen into a deep sleep.


    This time, his sleep was different from before. Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness didn¡¯t fall asleep and he could feel the pond within the dimension of his left eye.


    The pond was Zhao Feng¡¯s source of power.


    Di! Di!


    A small mysterious whirlpool appeared in the middle of the nine-point-nine-yards pond.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness moved and merged with the small whirlpool.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng felt as if he had become the center of the pond, and the aura of the pond began to change with his instincts.


    From water to ice.


    This power seemed to be a natural talent and couldn¡¯t be described with words.


    Immediately following that, Zhao Feng controlled the small whirlpool.


    Shua!


    The surface of the pond became filled with chaotic azure wind.


    Birth of wind.


    ¡°Looks like the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s change is indeed different from before.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Firstly, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye didn¡¯t undergo an overwhelming change like last time when his hair turned blue.


    The conversion between ice and water wasn¡¯t too much of a difference.


    Zhao Feng felt as if this change was just a preparation for a big change.


    Although the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had only undergone a small change, it still benefitted Zhao Feng greatly.


    He could now control his eye bloodline power as he pleased.


    It was unknown how long he slept for, but, when Zhao Feng opened his eyes again, the bloating sensation and pain from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had faded by more than half.


    It seemed like the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had passed the most critical period.


    ¡°You¡¯re awake¡­¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s soft voice sounded and Zhao Feng smiled faintly as he sat up, ¡°How long did I sleep for?¡±


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye seemed to contain a moisture similar to water.


    The past coldness had disappeared and his eye seemed more elegant and noble.


    Princess Jin¡¯s face went red as her heart rate sped up. She was used to the cold, wicked, and emotionless youth. She never would have imagined that he would have such a caring side to him.


    ¡°You¡­ you slept half a month this time. I¡¯ll go tell Master.¡±


    Princess Jin managed to control her emotions and was scared Zhao Feng would fall asleep again.


    ¡°Relax, I won¡¯t fall asleep again anytime soon.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood his current situation.


    After a while, in a secret underground room in the depths of the mountain.


    Zhao Feng sat face to face with Old Su.


    Princess Jin poured tea for the two of them and left. She knew that this meeting wasn¡¯t something she could attend.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I am very grateful for your help. I didn¡¯t think that the small Thirteen Countries would have a genius such as you. Of course, I understand why you came here¡­.¡±

 452 The Only Way

    ¡°Of course, I understand why you came here¡­.¡±


    Old Su gave his thanks and praise, but then went straight into the topic.


    Obviously, he was worried that Zhao Feng would fall asleep at any moment and speaking about irrelevant things would waste precious time.


    ¡°Oh? Does Old Su care to explain?¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed some interest and was pleased by how Old Su acted.


    Cough cough.


    Old Su paused slightly as he circulated his Qi of True Spirit to forcefully suppress the old injuries in his body.


    At the same time, he inspected Zhao Feng closely ¨C this overwhelming prodigy of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Princess Jin obviously didn¡¯t hide anything from her Master and, knowing this shocking news, Old Su was instantly stunned. He still hadn¡¯t fully calmed down.


    Old Su glanced at Zhao Feng deeply and understood that, as long as an overwhelming prodigy such as Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t killed, he would definitely become someone who controlled the continent.


    Maybe, after several years, Zhao Feng would even be comparable to the legendary Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch or Sword Saint Ye Wuxie.


    ¡°Firstly, the Iron Dragon Alliance is our mutual enemy. I believe that Brother Zhao won¡¯t question this.¡±


    Old Su finally spoke but he didn¡¯t conclude right away.


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head faintly. One could see the enmity from how he pointed the tip of the spear toward the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    ¡°If I¡¯m correct, the reason you came back to the Cloud area is to save your Clan.¡±


    Old Su said calmly.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head calmly and signaled for Old Su to continue.


    In reality, it wasn¡¯t hard to guess this due to Zhao Feng¡¯s past


    ¡°However, you¡¯re alone and want to use the Dragon Killing Alliance¡¯s power to understand and fight the Iron Dragon Alliance. Therefore, you came to us.¡±


    Old Su smiled and looked toward Zhao Feng.


    This time, Zhao Feng neither nodded his head nor disagreed.


    ¡°May I ask, what suggestion does Old Su have for me?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled. His left eye glittered with water and seemed very elegant.


    Old Su suddenly realized that he couldn¡¯t see through this youth, but he didn¡¯t hide his thoughts.


    ¡°The suggestion this old man gives you¡­ is to leave the Cloud area.¡±


    Old Su said sharply.


    Leave the Cloud area. This was Old Su¡¯s advice toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Why?¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised.


    ¡°The smartest decision is to return to the force behind you and cultivate for many years until you¡¯ve fully grown and can change everything. At least, you need to be important enough to bring reinforcements.¡±


    Old Su said solemnly.


    Zhao Feng paused and started to decipher the meaning behind Old Su¡¯s words.


    He smiled and his thoughts toward Old Su improved. Old Su was honest and said everything directly.


    Knowing the glory and fame Zhao Feng had achieved in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Old Su not only didn¡¯t want him to join the Dragon Killing Alliance, he even encouraged Zhao Feng to leave the Cloud area.


    Obviously, Old Su thought that it would be regretful if a prodigy like Zhao Feng died early.


    ¡°Old Su, you only need to tell me how to save the Broken Moon Clan and the true strength of the Iron Dragon Alliance.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t spend much time on the issue and quickly changed the topic.


    Old Su wasn¡¯t surprised and smiled instead. How could an overwhelming prodigy such as Zhao Feng give up so easily?


    However, Old Su was confident that he had the ability to change Zhao Feng¡¯s views.


    ¡°You might not know this, but the Thirteen Clans aren¡¯t just subordinates of the Iron Dragon Alliance in name. They signed a Blood Pact two years ago when they surrendered.¡±


    ¡°Blood Pact?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly.


    Back when he was being pursued by Master Haiyun, he left the Thirteen Countries in a hurry and didn¡¯t know the specifics of the surrender.


    All he knew was that, amongst the Thirteen Clans, the Ancient Shrine was the first to betray them as they had some connections with the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion already.


    As for the other twelve clans, they all surrendered when True Lord Tiexiao descended.


    ¡°Back then, at the Dragon Concealing Lake, the upper echelons of the twelve Clans all signed a Blood Pact and made their forces subordinate to the Iron Dragon Alliance. You should know the power of a Blood Pact. It¡¯s a force that belongs to the heaven and earth.¡±


    Old Su sighed lightly when he spoke up to here.


    ¡°This means that, even if I return to the Broken Moon Clan, Master can¡¯t help me. On the contrary, my return would cause more trouble?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was slightly solemn.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. If you want to save the Broken Moon Clan, the only way is to charge straight into the headquarters of the Iron Dragon Alliance. As long as they¡¯re destroyed, the Blood Pact will lose its power. This is also the simplest method.¡±


    Old Su couldn¡¯t help but look at Zhao Feng when he spoke up to here.


    How daring would it be to directly attack the headquarters of the Iron Dragon Alliance? It was unthinkable and unrealistic.


    The reason Old Su spoke of this ¡°unrealistic¡± method as the only way was to make Zhao Feng reconsider things.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. His eye had a weird light when Old Su mentioned this method.


    After a moment of silence.


    ¡°How strong is the Iron Dragon Alliance?¡±


    Zhao Feng finally asked the most important question.


    ¡°How strong?¡±


    Old Su shook his head and smiled, ¡°The entire Cloud area ¨C the two strong countries, the thirteen small countries, and their forces ¨C are under its control. There¡¯re four Palace Lords, thirty-six Core Elders, and other elites. Their hands cover the sky in the Cloud area and are starting to extend to nearby strong countries. Furthermore, this is only their strength on the surface. The Iron Dragon Alliance is backed by the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. Who knows how many experts they still have?¡±


    Four Palace Lords, thirty-six Core Elders.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as he understood the upper echelons of the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    Not long ago, just the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s two Core Elders had already forced the Dragon Killing Alliance into a desperate situation.


    The thirty-six Core Elders each controlled a Palace, and above the Palaces were Palace Lords.


    Each Palace Lord controlled nine Palaces and were all definitely at the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°True Lord Tiexiao, the one who forced the Thirteen Clans to surrender back then, is one of the four Palace Lords.¡±


    Old Su mentioned the Core Elders and the stronger Palace Lords.


    Four Palace Lords.


    What Zhao Feng really cared about were the four Palace Lords and the experts of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    After half the time required to make tea had passed.


    ¡°Thank you, Old Su. Going to the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s headquarters is the simplest and most straightforward method.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly stood up and Old Su couldn¡¯t help but pause.


    Did Zhao Feng finally listen to him? But he felt something was amiss.


    From the beginning, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any fear and his words contained confidence.


    As Zhao Feng was about to leave.


    ¡°Wait, you¡¯re not going to leave the Cloud area?¡±


    ¡°Of course not.¡±


    The blue-haired youth¡¯s footsteps stopped.


    ¡°Have you already called for reinforcements?¡±


    Old Su guessed.


    ¡°I alone am enough.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed and continued walking out.


    What!?


    Old Su¡¯s finger pointed toward Zhao Feng and it started to tremble due to his anger.


    Arrogant! Far too arrogant!!


    Old Su took a deep breath and pointed toward Zhao Feng as he spoke in a trembling tone, ¡°You¡¯re one of the overwhelming prodigies of this generation, but ignorance will only make you fall into the abyss.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t listen to him as he kept on walking with a powerful belief.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    Old Su roared as his white hair waved. His True Lord Rank aura summoned the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby and caused the skies to change.


    Power of the True Lord Rank.


    Although Old Su¡¯s strength had dropped, his mental energy was still there.


    ¡°Hehe, early stage True Lord Rank. This was Old Su¡¯s peak power?¡±


    The blue-haired youth in Old Su¡¯s sight smiled. At this moment, he seemed to turn into the ocean; broad and limitless, deep and unfathomable.


    An invisible wave of mental energy flowed across and seemed to freeze the room.


    ¡°You¡­ you¡­¡±


    Old Su¡¯s heart trembled. He felt pressure just being in front of this aura.


    This mental energy aura was stronger than any True Lord Rank he had ever seen. The opponent¡¯s soul seemed to envelope the world and made Old Su¡¯s soul shake.


    The expression on Old Su¡¯s face turned from fear and panic to overwhelming joy and disbelief.


    Finally.


    Old Su glanced toward the youth in front of him with respect, ¡°I didn¡¯t think that your strength had reached this level. Looks like I¡¯ve underestimated you.¡±


    However, Old Su was still curious.


    ¡°You should be able to break through to the True Lord Rank easily. But just you by yourself isn¡¯t enough to shake an enormous monster like the Iron Dragon Alliance.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled but didn¡¯t reply.


    If it weren¡¯t for the change in his left eye, he should be at the True Lord Rank by now.


    Shua Shua!


    A black pearl appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand and he gently tapped it.


    Two deep howls along with terrifying auras appeared next to Zhao Feng.


    In the grey mist, two dark-silver ghost corpses guarded Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right.


    ¡°True Lord Rank!!?? How is this possible¡­? The Cloud area¡­ even strong countries and great countries can¡¯t train a ghost corpse to the True Lord Rank easily!¡±


    Old Su almost fell over as his heart fluttered.


    Zhao Feng nodded in satisfaction as he inspected the two dark-silver ghost corpses. After two months of being inside the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, their cultivation and strength was approaching the early stage True Lord Rank.


    The Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl was also one of the items the Purple Saint Partial Spirit gave Zhao Feng and it had once been a sacred item of the Ten Thousand Ghost Emperor. Back then, the Ten Thousand Ghost Emperor destroyed several two-star sects with his army of ghosts.


    Shua Shua!


    The two True Lord Rank ghost corpses were quickly recalled.


    Old Su still hadn¡¯t recovered. The shock Zhao Feng gave him was more than what he had experienced in his one or two-hundred years of life.


    ¡°This is just the start¡­. When my eye bloodline fully recovers, anything and everything will be possible.¡±

 453 Kill One Person

    Within the secret room, after experiencing such shock, Old Su managed to regain control of his emotions, but he couldn¡¯t help feeling slightly defeated.


    He was one of the strongest experts of the Cloud area, had the cultivation of a True Lord Rank, and controlled a strong country. He ruled countless lives and decided their destiny.


    The country Zhao Feng once lived in was only a pond in Old Su¡¯s eyes, and the Broken Moon Clan was just a tiny force.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to imagine that Old Su was also a prodigy in his youth.


    At this moment, Old Su felt shocked, stunned, and defeated.


    Admiration and respect appeared on his face as he looked at the blue-haired youth.


    This was a world where the strong ruled; age didn¡¯t matter.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s performance in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and his current strength made even Old Su look up to him.


    Thinking back to how he ¡°warned¡± Zhao Feng, Old Su¡¯s face went red.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s total strength was comparable to at least three True Lord Ranks since he had those two dark-silver ghost corpses.


    Old Su was certain that Zhao Feng had the strength of a True Lord Rank to be able to control the two ghost corpses. Plus, there wouldn¡¯t be any difficulty for Zhao Feng to reach the True Lord Rank himself.


    ¡°Old Su, I¡¯ll return to the Thirteen Countries after sleeping one more time.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyelids were slightly heavy. He estimated that he could only stay awake for a maximum of four more hours.


    ¡°Return to the Thirteen Countries? What can you do?¡±


    Old Su couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    The Thirteen Clans were the subordinates of the Iron Dragon Alliance. First Elder and everyone in the Broken Moon Clan had all signed the Blood Pact.


    If Zhao Feng went back to the Broken Moon Clan, he would only cause trouble for First Elder.


    ¡°I¡¯m going to the Broken Moon Clan¡­ to kill someone.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s calm eyes suddenly flickered with killing intent that would make any True Spirit Realm expert¡¯s heart tremble.


    The change between water and ice happened with one thought.


    ¡°If you need any help, this old man and the Dragon Killing Alliance will do their best to help.¡±


    Old Su sighed lightly and knew he couldn¡¯t stop Zhao Feng. Old Su had to say this, if for no other reason than the fact that Zhao Feng had saved them.


    Zhao Feng thought for a while before stating two points:


    ¡°I want Old Su to help me find the headquarters and strongholds of the Iron Dragon Alliance, as well as tracking the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.¡±


    ¡°Secondly, I also want the Dragon Killing Alliance to clean up after me and wash the Cloud area.¡±


    Old Su wasn¡¯t surprised at the first point but his heart shook at the second.


    The ¡°cleaning¡± that came out of Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth was spoken in a casual tone, and this made Old Su¡¯s heart jump.


    Zhao Feng could ask for reinforcements from the Canopy Great Country, but he didn¡¯t do so.


    After all, the Cloud area was Zhao Feng¡¯s hometown. He wanted to organize it himself, without any outside help.


    ¡°Unfortunately, this old man¡¯s foundation is injured and can only help a little.¡±


    Old Su felt guilty.


    Although Zhao Feng was strong, he was alone and felt unreliable.


    After all, the Iron Dragon Alliance was a powerful force that ruled the Cloud area. Facing countless Ascended Realm and True Spirit Realm experts, how small was Zhao Feng in comparison?


    Of course, Old Su didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng had ¡°forgotten¡± about battles with overwhelming numbers.


    ¡°En, Old Su has the heart to help and will even use the Dragon Killing Alliance¡¯s power. This one also has a present.¡±


    Zhao Feng gently tapped the ancient metal ring.


    Weng~~


    A mysterious green liquid floated in the air, and the aura of life it released felt like the embrace of a mother.


    ¡°This is¡­ the Elixir of Life?¡±


    Old Su¡¯s heart shook as he revealed an excited expression.


    The Elixir of Life could only be formed under certain conditions and it was almost impossible for it to appear in the Azure Flower Continent.


    This Elixir of Life was from the exchange Zhao Feng had with Ye Yanyu.


    The Elixir of Life was the essence of life from the Life Returning Grass.


    Zhao Feng had first traded for two drops of the Elixir of Life from Ye Yanyu and the little thieving cat had stolen half of the Life Returning Grass from her later.


    The Life Returning Grass had been given to the Towering Tree Yao so it could recover from the heavy injury of the Void God Protection.


    However, Zhao Feng also purposely kept two drops of the Elixir of Life for himself.


    Therefore, in reality, Zhao Feng had four drops, and one of them was reserved for the mysterious elder in order to repay him.


    Of the remaining three drops, Zhao Feng gave one to Old Su.


    After all, Old Su was the Dragon Killing Alliance¡¯s leader, and if he was able to return back to his peak strength he could help Zhao Feng a lot.


    ¡°Elixir of Life¡­. Looks like you just came back from an inheritance.¡±


    The Life Returning Grass and other legendary life prolonging items were long extinct in the Azure Flower Continent and could only be gotten from outside inheritances.


    Zhao Feng smiled but didn¡¯t speak. He signaled Old Su to use the Elixir of Life.


    Zhao Feng had inspected Old Su¡¯s injuries with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. They reached the Source of True Spirit and were extremely hard to recover from. If one used their Qi of True Spirit without care, their injury would worsen and even cause a fall in cultivation.


    However, Zhao Feng still believed in the Elixir of Life.


    In theory, the Elixir of Life would be a great help even if it was a Sovereign that was heavily injured


    Old Su gratefully used the Elixir of Life and sat down to recover.


    Half the time it took to make tea later, a strong surge of Qi of True Spirit appeared from Old Su.


    Zhao Feng smiled and saw the recovery of the injury to Old Su¡¯s Source of True Spirit. In this short time, most of the danger had passed.


    He believed that Old Su would be able to recover to his peak in half a month¡¯s time.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t stay any longer and returned back to where he was sleeping earlier.


    Two hours later.


    ¡°The next time I wake up will be the time I return to the Thirteen Countries.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his tired eyes with sleepiness.


    Princess Jin carefully served him on orders from Old Su.


    It was incredible for a noble figure such as Princess Jin, who had participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, to serve a youth.


    However, Princess Jin¡¯s eyes were filled with joy and her face occasionally turned red with care.


    Many members of the Iron Dragon Alliance, including Elder Jiang and Third Highness, didn¡¯t understand this, but they didn¡¯t know the truth about Zhao Feng.


    In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.


    The new stronghold of the Dragon Killing Alliance was in the depths of the mountains.


    At a certain point in time, a powerful surge of True Spirit aura caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby to light up.


    The sky turned into green waves of light, and the mental energy pressure made the members of the Dragon Killing Alliance unable to breathe.


    ¡°True Lord Rank aura!¡±


    ¡°A complete True Lord Rank aura¡­. It¡¯s Old Su!¡±


    ¡°Great! Are Old Su¡¯s injuries all healed now?¡±


    The members of the Dragon Killing Alliance celebrated.


    Only Princess Jin was surprised. She knew clearly just how deep her Master¡¯s injuries were, and they could be said to be almost certainly unrecoverable.


    How could he be able to recover back to the True Lord Rank within the short time of half a month?


    ¡°Could all of this be¡­?¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s eyes turned toward a sleeping blue-haired youth.


    This was the only person she could think of.


    Maybe it was because of the change in the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, but the sleeping blue-haired youth opened his eyes.


    ¡°Congratulations to Old Su for recovering completely.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s light laugh sounded from the depths of the mountains.


    Princess Jin¡¯s eyes blurred as Zhao Feng disappeared.


    In the next instant, at the peak of the mountains.


    A calm blue-haired youth walked shoulder to shoulder with a white-bearded man, talking and laughing.


    Princess Jin watched this scene with shock. She suddenly realized that she had still underestimated Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng was still at the True Mystic Rank during the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. What level has he reached after returning from the inheritance?¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t calm down.


    The youth whom she watched sleep had reached the clouds.


    ¡°Congratulations on Old Su exiting seclusion.¡±


    The nearby members of the Dragon Killing Alliance bowed and congratulated toward the peak of the mountain.


    ¡°Hehe, this is all thanks to our friend Zhao Feng. He has brought hope to the Dragon Killing Alliance, and I believe his miracles and glory will appear once again in the Cloud area.¡±


    Old Su raised his hand, expressing his gratitude and respect toward Zhao Feng.


    The members of the Dragon Killing Alliance were stunned. This included Elder Jiang, Third Highness, and company, who were the first ones to meet Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, dozens of miles away.


    In the air, a dark-red ship around twenty yards long was floating. A faint bloody green wind surrounded it, giving it a dark, crushing aura.


    ¡°Old Monster Su¡¯s recovered his True Lord Rank strength.¡±


    A raspy voice sounded from within the ship.


    It was an ugly human who looked like a corpse. Dark-silver stripes covered him.


    It was the Blood Corpse Protector.


    ¡°Palace Lord, our overall strength is higher and Old Monster Su has just barely recovered. He¡¯s still not your match.¡±


    There were two or three nearby True Mystic Rank experts and more than ten True Spirit Realms in total.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s eyes flashed with a red light as he stared at the blue-haired youth with a dim expression, ¡°It¡¯s really him¡­.¡±


    ¡°Palace Lord, leave this Zhao Feng¡­ to me.¡±


    A cold black-robed youth said in a deep tone. He was one of the three True Mystic Ranks in front of the Blood Corpse Palace Lord.


    This black-robed youth had mysterious eyes that seemed to reach the depths of hell.


    He glanced toward Zhao Feng on the mountain with uncontrollable battle intent.


    ¡°Lin Tong? If I remember correctly, your Heavenly Absent Eyes were defeated by this brat at the Alliance Banquet of the Thirteen Countries.¡±


    Another True Mystic Rank said playfully.


    ¡°Hehe, Lin Tong just came back from the Scarlet Moon Inheritance and I bet even the Palace Lord is interested in his strength.¡±

 454 We Meet Again

    On the dark-red ship, the black-robed youth ¨C ¡°Lin Tong¡± ¨C became the center of attention.


    The elites of the Iron Dragon Alliance were curious about this new face with an eye bloodline.


    Only a small number of people knew Lin Tong¡¯s history.


    Back at the Alliance Banquet, Lin Tong was one of the Four Stars alongside Cang Yuyue, Xu Zixuan, and Ao Yuetian.


    In this generation, no one dared to fight Lin Tong. However, both he and Cang Yuyue became stepping stones for someone else¡¯s glory, and that person was standing on the mountain not too far away.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, although I lost to you last time, I¡¯ll get my revenge now that I¡¯ve returned from the Scarlet Moon Inheritance.¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s black eyes were twisted, mysterious, and dark.


    A cold mental energy aura permeated the air and made the hearts of the elites nearby jump.


    At the same time, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord retracted his sight. He was certain that Zhao Feng was the youth from back then and, facing Lin Tong¡¯s ¡°plea to fight,¡± the Blood Corpse Palace Lord shook his head, ¡°You¡¯re not his match.¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s expression froze, shock and unwillingness appearing in his eyes.


    However, the person standing in front of him was one of the four rulers of the Iron Dragon Alliance and a Protector of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    No one dared to question the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s words. His knowledge and experience were above the standard of the Cloud area.


    Lin Tong was about to say something when the blue-haired youth suddenly turned and glanced toward the ship with a smile.


    The experts at the True Spirit Realm possessed extremely sensitive eyesight and their hearts shook as they saw this scene.


    The youth¡¯s left eye was as broad as the ocean. Zhao Feng¡¯s actions obviously raised Old Su¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Looks like I¡¯ve attracted too much attention by recovering.¡±


    Old Su sighed, but Zhao Feng knew this wasn¡¯t the true reason.


    Zhao Feng had challenged the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    The Blood Sickle Slaughterer, the Eighteenth Core Elder, and the Tenth Core Elder had all died because of him.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s threat to the Iron Dragon Alliance got the attention of the upper echelons.


    What made Zhao Feng surprised was that he saw more than one familiar face.


    Zhao Feng obviously had a deep impression of the Blood Corpse Protector. Their battle in the Scarlet Moon Cave was dangerous, requiring both intelligence and courage.


    Lin Tong was also a powerful enemy in the Alliance Banquet two years ago.


    Back then, Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong, and Zhao Feng formed a ¡°three-party standoff.¡±


    ¡°Old Su, you take the Dragon Killing Alliance members and retreat. I¡¯ll play with these guys.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled. After waking up this time, the bloating sensation and the pain were very faint, and the pond within the dimension of the left eye almost reached ten yards.


    His bloodline power was more controllable than before and had reached an entirely new level.


    ¡°Ok, I¡¯ll organize the retreat. You be careful.¡±


    Old Su knew a bit about Zhao Feng¡¯s strength and didn¡¯t reject his offer. After all, the Iron Dragon Alliance was extremely strong and, apart from Old Su, the others would only limit Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    Old Su¡¯s figure disappeared from the mountain. His voice resounded across the valley as the members of the Dragon Killing Alliance quickly disappeared.


    On the mountain, Zhao Feng was the only person left. He put his hands behind his back as his blue hair waved in the wind, and a smile appeared on his face.


    ¡°Palace Lord, the spawn of the Dragon Killing Alliance are retreating.¡±


    ¡°Hmm? There seems to be one person left behind to cover them.¡±


    The dark-red ship broke into chaos.


    Everyone from the Dragon Killing Alliance was retreating, including Old Su at the True Lord Rank, but the blue-haired youth stayed behind and confidently looked toward the people on the ship.


    This scene made Lin Tong¡¯s heart shake. What level was Zhao Feng at? Lin Tong couldn¡¯t see through Zhao Feng and his ocean-like aura.


    Just the courage Zhao Feng displayed made Lin Tong sigh.


    If Lin Tong was in the same situation, he would obviously run as far as he could.


    His opponent from the past stayed behind instead and confidently faced them.


    This courage shook not only Lin Tong, but all the other experts on the ship as well.


    ¡°What an arrogant brat. He¡¯s just an ant in front of a carriage.¡±


    ¡°Palace Lord, we should quickly slay this brat. The Dragon Killing Alliance isn¡¯t far away.¡±


    The True Spirit Realm cultivators on the ship were filled with killing intent and anger.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions had enraged them.


    However, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s expression flickered and, although his face was filled with hate and killing intent, he didn¡¯t immediately attack.


    ¡°Hehe, Blood Corpse Protector, we haven¡¯t seen each other for such a long time. Hope you¡¯re well.¡±


    A light laughter sounded from the mountain.


    At this moment in time, the Dragon Killing Alliance was retreating, but both friend and foe alike could hear Zhao Feng¡¯s voice clearly.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? It sounds as if this Zhao Feng knows the Blood Corpse Palace Lord from long ago.¡±


    Both sides felt weird. Zhao Feng¡¯s tone was as if he had interacted with the Blood Corpse Palace Lord before and might have even fought him.


    Some were even suspicious that this youth was actually an old monster.


    On the ship, the gazes of the entire Iron Dragon Alliance landed on the Blood Corpse Palace Lord, awaiting his orders.


    ¡°Old Su has recovered his strength. It¡¯s not realistic to kill all of the Dragon Killing Alliance, but since this brat¡¯s confident that he can cover them, we¡¯ll play with him.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s raspy voice sounded in an elegant manner, and the hearts of the True Spirit Realm experts twitched.


    Those familiar with the Blood Corpse Palace Lord knew that this meant he would go all out.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord remembered things very clearly, and once he remembered someone, he would torture them in an ¡°elegant¡± manner.


    However, wasn¡¯t it a bit too exaggerated to send the elites of two Palaces and a Palace Lord just to deal with a junior?


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I admire your courage staying behind, but you will regret this decision for life.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord waved a blood-colored flag in his hand.


    Hu~


    A chaotic gust of bloody wind swept toward the mountaintop.


    ¡°Send the order¡­. Capture Zhao Feng alive.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord stood at the head of the ship but didn¡¯t immediately attack.


    Even he couldn¡¯t fully sense Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy aura, but he was sure that Lin Tong and company were definitely not his match.


    If he didn¡¯t have strength close to or comparable to the True Lord Rank, how could Zhao Feng dare to stay behind by himself?


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    The three True Mystic Ranks didn¡¯t know what kind of feud the Blood Corpse Palace Lord had with Zhao Feng for them to use a force like this to settle things, but they instantly obeyed.


    ¡°Palace Lord, I will restrict his eye bloodline.¡±


    Lin Tong suggested. Everyone knew the specialty of this Rank One Killing Order¡¯s target.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline was terrifying. The Tenth Core Elder as well as the Eighteenth Core Elder had fallen to it.


    This was why the Iron Dragon Alliance sent Lin Tong.


    Sou Sou Sou---


    The three True Mystic Ranks and a group of experts were led by Lin Tong as they turned into three streaks of light, closing in on Zhao Feng.


    If one looked down from above, they would realize that the three True Mystic Ranks and company made a half-surrounding formation that closed in on the mountain.


    ¡°Master, even a Palace Lord from the Iron Dragon Alliance has come. Zhao Feng¡¯s alone, it¡¯s probably¡­¡±


    Princess Jin looked back as she retreated.


    She was uneasy, and she was unwilling to see the blue-haired youth face the Iron Dragon Alliance alone.


    ¡°Jin¡¯er, relax. Zhao Feng¡¯s just playing with them and I will pay attention too.¡±


    Old Su smiled.


    Playing with them?


    Princess Jin¡¯s eyes were full of shock. If was hard to imagine that these words would come from her Master¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°Scarlet Demon Moon Eye!¡±


    At this point in time, Lin Tong sent a distorting blood-colored moon with his eyes from several miles away.


    Slaughter, bloodthirst, darkness, chaos¡­. Negative auras condensed in his eyes and became an invisible power that flashed through the air.


    At this point in time, the True Spirit Realms around him all felt cold.


    A blood-colored moon shone through the clouds and slashed toward the blue-haired youth.


    Lin Tong¡¯s every action was captured by Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, and he had to admit that the Scarlet Demon Moon Eye was indeed a profound eye bloodline skill for being able to condense negative powers together and create a dominant and cruel force that went straight into the soul.


    Normal True Spirit Realms, and even some True Mystic Ranks, would instantly crumble in front of this attack.


    In terms of power, Lin Tong¡¯s eye bloodline could be compared to the cultivators of the three major eye families several months ago during the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Shua!


    The Scarlet Demon Moon Eye released a powerful mental energy blood-moon that attempted to erode Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy world.


    Lin Tong and the other True Mystic Ranks revealed joyful expressions.


    Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng neither moved nor revealed any signs of defending or evading.


    ¡°Hmm? What¡¯s going on¡­?¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s body suddenly froze, and his face turned from surprise to fear and panic.


    Zhao Feng just ignored Lin Tong¡¯s attack.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, a ripple appeared in the pond that absorbed the blood-colored moon.


    The calmest thing in the world was water. Water could absorb and envelope.


    The powerful Scarlet Demon Moon Eye just now was like a stone that fell into the ocean, not accomplishing anything at all.

 455 Defeated Loser

    ¡°He ignored my Scarlet Demon Moon Eyes head-on? Has the power of his soul and eye reached a level which can envelop like the ocean?¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s body froze mid-air and the shock in his eyes spread across his face.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even defend himself just then, ignoring Lin Tong¡¯s attack entirely. Simply put, Lin Tong¡¯s eye bloodline skill didn¡¯t even break through Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy barrier.


    Sou Sou----


    At the same time, the other two True Mystic Ranks led their forces in charging toward Zhao Feng, who was standing on the mountain top.


    According to their plan, Lin Tong would be responsible for restricting Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline and the other two True Mystic Ranks would attack him.


    Blade of Wind and Lightning!


    Zhao Feng lightly exclaimed as a sparkling blade made of Wind and Lightning condensed in his hand, summoning Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in a weird way.


    ¡°Not good, retreat~~~~!¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he watched from above.


    It was obvious that, at his level, he could tell that Zhao Feng¡¯s every action contained a profundity that surpassed the norm.


    However, his warning was too late, or perhaps Zhao Feng¡¯s attack was too fast ¨C so fast that his warning was of no use.


    Weng~


    The blade split in two and suddenly expanded up to seven or eight yards.


    At this instant, the piercing wind seemed able to cut into one¡¯s soul.


    Shu Shu!!


    Before the two True Mystic Rank experts could react, their heads had left their bodies. Blood splattered everywhere.


    The entire process only lasted a couple breaths. Lin Tong¡¯s attack only just ended when, immediately following that, Zhao Feng had casually killed the two experts with a simple blow.


    Siii!!!


    Lin Tong and the elites of the Iron Dragon Alliance who saw this scene all took in a cold breath.


    Lin Tong couldn¡¯t help but hiccup.


    Not only had Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline reached an incredible height, his battle skills were also terrifying.


    The two True Mystic Ranks were both Core Elders that ranked within the top fifteen.


    If Lin Tong didn¡¯t use his eye bloodline against them, he would be able to fight to a draw against them at best.


    However, these two experts were killed the same way Zhao Feng chopped radish.


    ¡°Hehe. Defeated loser, come and die!¡±


    Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back as he glanced into the distance.


    Lin Tong¡¯s heart shook as if he had fallen into a limitless abyss. Defeat and humiliation enveloped his heart.


    ¡°You¡­!¡±


    Lin Tong gritted his teeth and looked up, ready to fight to the death.


    But the instant he looked up, he paused.


    The blue-haired figure on the mountain wasn¡¯t even looking at him.


    At this moment:


    ¡°Don¡¯t get cocky junior. Back then, I was recovering¡­.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s hateful voice sounded from behind, and both friend and foe alike paused when they heard this.


    ¡°What¡¯s¡­ going on?¡±


    Many people paused, and Lin Tong¡¯s hands trembled as shock and awkwardness appeared on top of his humiliation.


    Defeated loser.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words were aimed toward the Blood Corpse Palace Lord.


    As for Lin Tong, he had been ignored from the beginning.


    The opponent Zhao Feng locked onto was the Blood Corpse Palace Lord. It was hard to imagine that this Blood Corpse Palace Lord was someone whom Zhao Feng had defeated before, hence Zhao Feng¡¯s mockery.


    ¡°No wonder. Zhao Feng, looks like I underestimated you.¡±


    Old Su hadn¡¯t retreated immediately, staying a certain distance away in case Zhao Feng needed help.


    However, he realized that he was overthinking things.


    Old Su finally understood what Zhao Feng had meant by ¡°playing.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord turned into a streak of bloody purple light and leapt toward Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s speed was like the wind, and many people present couldn¡¯t even see how he moved.


    In just a couple blinks of the eye, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord arrived in front of Zhao Feng and released a deep, mountain-like aura that crushed toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°So, this Blood Corpse Palace Lord is the same as Mo Yu from the Black Cliff Palace and cultivates the Corpse Strengthening Technique, but he seems to have merged it with the Dao of Blood.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected with his left eye.


    In terms of strength, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord was about the same as Mo Yu, but the former was obviously more knowledgeable and cunning.


    Crack!


    The nearly one-hundred-yard tall mountain boomed and split into pieces, dust and smoke spouting into the sky.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s devastating palm split an entire mountain.


    Qiu----


    A flash of lightning whistled in the sky. The boom of thunder and screech of wind accompanied Zhao Feng as he flew about a one or two-mile radius.


    Cries came from near the dark-red ship.


    Every time ¡°thunder boomed and winds screeched,¡± blood would splatter with the death of one or two lives.


    ¡°Little bastard, come here and give me your life~~~!¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord roared with anger as he turned into a bloody purple streak and chased after Zhao Feng.


    However, he had no advantage against Zhao Feng in terms of speed.


    Zhao Feng used ¡°true battle¡± to comprehend the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet in his mind.


    The Wind Lightning Stone Tablet was the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor who reigned supreme in terms of speed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level was higher than the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s.


    Although his cultivation hadn¡¯t reached the True Lord Rank, the amount of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi he could summon wasn¡¯t far off.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed reached the peak and he could ignore the Blood Corpse Palace Lord as he slayed those from the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    ¡°Arghhhhhh!!!!!¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s hatred reached a limit and he almost lost his mind. He could only watch as Zhao Feng took the lives of his subordinates.


    What made him especially helpless was that Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was always just a bit faster than his without wasting any energy.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed suppressed the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s and, with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s, even an extra one or two Blood Corpse Palace Lords wouldn¡¯t be able to stop him.


    In just a short while, most of the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s subordinates were dead.


    Apart from Lin Tong, everyone else at the True Spirit Realm had been killed.


    When Zhao Feng slew his targets, there was no sign of emotion in his eyes. It was as if he was facing human-shaped skeletons.


    What made the Blood Corpse Palace Lord even angrier was that, when he killed the Iron Dragon Alliance troops, Zhao Feng would occasionally close his eyes as if comprehending something.


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s lungs almost exploded. Zhao Feng was using his subordinates to train himself.


    In just a short span of ten to twenty breaths, Zhao Feng had an obvious improvement in his usage of Wind and Lightning.


    The tattered Wind Lightning Stone Tablet became covered with arcs of lightning and gusts of wind, and its intent reached the level of ¡°Wind Lightning World.¡±


    Zhao Feng could only comprehend the hair and skin of this world.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng realized that, apart from the Blood Corpse Palace Lord, there was no one nearby except for Lin Tong, who was hiding and trembling in the crack of a mountain.


    Lin Tong knew that Zhao Feng had set it up this way on purpose, or else he wouldn¡¯t be alive.


    ¡°Blood Corpse Palace Lord, all your subordinates have died,¡± Zhao Feng said playfully as a smile surfaced on his face.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s expression was grim and killing intent seemed to condense.


    However, he didn¡¯t lose his mind. Through this short period of extreme rage, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord had calmed down instead.


    He had already considered the fact that Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline specialized in mental energy, capable of attacking directly.


    At this point in time, the forces of the Dragon Killing Alliance had already retreated.


    As the dust settled, only Zhao Feng and the Blood Corpse Palace Lord remained behind as they faced each other.


    The two looked at each other for a short while before attacking at the same time.


    Shua!


    A ¡°bloody purple streak of light¡± clashed several times with a ¡°ball of lightning and wind.¡±


    Boom----


    The power of both sides was extremely condensed and the waves of energy from their clashes didn¡¯t exceed twenty yards.


    The two figures separated after a few moves and faint scorch marks were left behind on the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s body.


    ¡°This Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s physical body is comparable to Mo Yu of the Black Cliff Palace. Even normal True Lord Ranks can¡¯t injure him.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    Zhao Feng had the advantage in speed when they fought, but in terms of pure strength, he didn¡¯t have the upper hand.


    Overall, he had control of the battle, as the Blood Corpse Palace Lord couldn¡¯t defeat him.


    ¡°Without the use of my God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, the only other way to increase my battle power would be to break through to the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was clear.


    Sou!


    After pausing for a short while, Zhao Feng¡¯s figure disappeared once more, and the air became filled with the howls of wind and claps of thunder.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s control of Wind and Lightning became smoother and their speed and power rose slightly.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord roared and used several secret techniques, but he was seen by Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Nothing could beat speed in this world.


    Once Zhao Feng had the absolute advantage in speed, as well as the inspection and control of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he couldn¡¯t lose.


    If it were a more normal True Lord Rank ¨C someone that didn¡¯t have a very strong physical body like the Blood Corpse Palace Lord ¨C then Zhao Feng might have turned them into mincemeat already.


    If the Blood Corpse Palace Lord didn¡¯t cultivate the Dao of Corpse Strengthening and the Dao of Blood, Zhao Feng could just summon his two dark-silver ghost corpses to immediately kill his opponent after merely scratching him with their poisonous claws.


    Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly changed into an azure state, and a half-transparent ball of lightning and fire landed on the Blood Corpse Palace Lord.


    In the azure-eye state, the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye¡¯s strength became more chaotic.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord howled as his entire body started to burn with lightning and fire. At the same time, this force started affecting his mental energy world.


    ¡°Such a terrifying eye technique. What kind of eye bloodline does Zhao Feng have to be able to control that?¡±


    Lin Tong, who was hiding in the crack of a mountain, witnessed this devastating skill with a stunned expression.


    As someone who cultivated eye techniques, he obviously knew that, the more powerful the skill, the more powerful the eye bloodline needed to be.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t send a mere fire eye, but a lightning and fire eye that was magnified by wind as well.


    Lightning and fire attacks had an incredible effect on the Blood Corpse Palace Lord, who cultivated the Dao of Blood and the Dao of Corpse Strengthening.


    Seeing that the Blood Corpse Palace Lord was forced into a life or death situation by just one shot of Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye, Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.

 456 Blood Corpse Burn

    In the air, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s body ¨C trained by his Corpse Strengthening Technique ¨C was enveloped by a half-transparent azure flame, lightning and fire together. His whole body burned, leaving behind black scorch marks.


    The powerful Wind Lightning Fire Eye even went into the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s mental energy world, and his screams made even Lin Tong¡¯s heart jump.


    It was hard to believe that the Blood Corpse Palace Lord ¨C one of the four major figures of the Iron Dragon Alliance and an old monster from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion era ¨C had been forced into such a situation by a single move from a junior.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be surprised at the power of the Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye.


    Thinking about it though, he understood why.


    The Wind Lightning Stone Tablet that he was comprehending also merged its laws into his Source of True Spirit.


    This meant that, inside Zhao Feng¡¯s body, his Flame of True Spirit now had the extra elements of lightning and wind, forming a Wind Lightning True Fire.


    However, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord was extremely strong and wouldn¡¯t be defeated by just this Wind Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye.


    If it were a weaker True Lord Rank, they would at least lose a layer of skin, if they didn¡¯t just die outright.


    ¡°Blood Corpse Refining Flame!¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s eyes seemed to jump with a bloody scarlet flame as his cold voice sounded across the mountains.


    Weng~~


    A bloody scarlet-and-purple flame appeared on his silver-striped body, accompanied by a gust of cold wind.


    The bloody scarlet-purple flame instantly enveloped his body and started to push away the Wind Lightning Fire azure flame.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng found that the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s aura rose dramatically, and his Corpse Dao True Flame was countering his Wind Lightning True Flame to a certain degree.


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly and got ready to fire another Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye. Even if it couldn¡¯t kill the Blood Corpse Palace Lord, it could at least trouble him for a while.


    Yet, when Zhao Feng circulated his eye bloodline, a bloating sensation and sleepiness washed over him.


    At the end of the day, the change in the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye hadn¡¯t fully stabilized and couldn¡¯t be overused.


    The Wind Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye put a lot of stress on his eye bloodline, therefore it couldn¡¯t be used continuously.


    Under normal circumstances, Zhao Feng could only use it three times in a row.


    In just a short breath or two.


    Weng~


    The corpse-flame on the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s body faded, and his injuries were healed to a degree where it wasn¡¯t obvious he had been injured at all.


    ¡°What terrifying recovery speed!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed. He realized that he had underestimated the Blood Corpse Palace Lord.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord was a Protector of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. His strength wouldn¡¯t be that simple.


    It was certain that the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s mastery of the Corpse Dao was only higher than Mo Yu from the Black Cliff Palace, not lower.


    Mo Yu came from a two-star sect whose strength and inheritance were extremely powerful, but he was still just a junior and not older than thirty years. Whereas, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord had lived for several hundred years and merged the Blood Dao and Corpse Dao together.


    The Corpse Dao specialized in defense and resilience toward poison, exhibiting a strong life force, while the Blood Dao specialized in erosion and recovery.


    With these two Dao combined, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s battle power exceeded other True Lord Ranks, coming close to the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ junior, you think that just one bloodline flame can kill me? If it were that easy, I would have died several hundred years ago in the hands of the Ten Great Clans.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord licked his lips and said in a dark tone.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change as he continued to float in the air.


    This wasn¡¯t outside of his expectations. If he killed the Blood Corpse Palace Lord that easily, it would feel surreal.


    ¡°Hehe, then let¡¯s continue.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled instead of being surprised, disappearing with a ¡°shua.¡±


    In the next instant, the hum of lightning and screech of wind surrounded the Blood Corpse Palace Lord.


    The clash started once again.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord roared in anger. He didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng was so troublesome.


    Although his mastery in the Dao of Corpses was high and he had strong recovery speed, allowing him to not fear a long battle, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline still made the Blood Corpse Palace Lord uneasy.


    The Wind Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye just then might have seemed to not injure the Blood Corpse Palace Lord on the surface, but in reality, it left an injury on his soul.


    What made the Blood Corpse Palace Lord more surprised was that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to be very intent on killing his opponent and seemed to be playing around instead.


    Zhao Feng used this battle to focus mainly on improving himself and consolidating his mental energy level while comprehending the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet.


    ¡°Junior, I¡¯m not going to play with you anymore. As long as you¡¯re in the Cloud area, the Iron Dragon Alliance will pursue you.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord showed signs of retreating. The injury to his soul from the Wind Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye was starting to hurt.


    The opponent also had the advantage in speed and was just toying with him.


    With the control in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord smartly retreated as he knew he couldn¡¯t win.


    ¡°Want to run? It¡¯s not that easy.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly as he turned into an arc of lightning that chased after the Blood Corpse Palace Lord.


    Sou Sou!


    Two powerful auras ¨C one in front, one behind ¨C flashed through the clouds and occasionally into the forests, causing dust to blow.


    ¡°They¡¯re finally gone.¡±


    Lin Tong, who was hiding in a mountain crack, was completely covered in sweat. He concealed his aura and prepared to run.


    However, the second his footsteps moved, he felt something land on his shoulder that pushed him down.


    Miao miao!


    A silver-gray cat stood on his shoulder and an agile snake-like whip wrapped around his body.


    ¡°Why does Zhao Feng want me to stay behind?¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s heart went cold. He couldn¡¯t move, as he was restrained by the Mystic Snake Blood Whip, so decided to turn around and use an eye technique.


    Pa!


    A cat paw slapped Lin Tong in the face and left a scorching red print behind.


    Furthermore, although the cat¡¯s paw wasn¡¯t very strong, a ¡°dazing¡± effect made Lin Tong¡¯s head spin.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng had flown dozens of miles in pursuit of the Blood Corpse Palace Lord.


    When one reached the True Lord Rank, they could fly at maximum speed for one or two-hundred miles and could even last up to one or two-thousand miles if they wished.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t bent on victory, comprehending the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet as they flew.


    Wu~


    An azure wind started to condense around him like a transparent shield and, under this state, the wind resistance Zhao Feng faced became smaller.


    Waves of lightning spread from his feet, which pushed his speed even further.


    These intents and laws were extremely compatible with nature.


    ¡°The laws of the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet are as deep as the ocean. It¡¯s hard for me to comprehend even a hundredth of the Wind Lightning World.¡±


    Half of Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness was immersed in the tattered Wind Lightning World.


    Because of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he could do two things at once. Memorizing something after reading it once was only a basic ability.


    Of course, this was also due to the fact that the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s speed wasn¡¯t faster than Zhao Feng¡¯s, or else he wouldn¡¯t have the energy to do two things at once.


    ¡°Junior, this is all your fault. Don¡¯t blame me for going all out¡­.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord suddenly gritted his teeth as his expression turned dark.


    Zhao Feng, who was chasing from behind, suddenly felt a chaotic and deadly aura turn toward him.


    ¡°Blood Corpse Burn!¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s skin suddenly released an eye-catching flame the color of blood that could be seen within a ten-mile radius.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s aura instantly rose to another level and seemed to turn into a blood-colored sun as a dominating and cold light swept across a radius of one mile.


    Qiu----


    Just as the light formed by the Blood Corpse Burn charged at Zhao Feng, his heart skipped a beat. The Blood Corpse Palace Lord had released battle power comparable to Ye Yanyu or Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was restricted and, due to the fact that his real cultivation hadn¡¯t reached the True Lord Rank, a head-on clash wasn¡¯t beneficial for him.


    At this critical moment, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t lose his cool.


    ¡°Break~~~~~!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly turned into a freezing pond as ice-blue blood started to circulate in a weird way within his body.


    In an instant.


    Weng~~


    A magnificent figure wearing a crown and holding a black sword appeared. There was a throne below it as it formed behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back.


    Through the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and Purple Saint Ruins, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline had reached an entirely new level that couldn¡¯t be compared to the past.


    Ice Lightning Raging Dragon!


    Zhao Feng sent out a howling palm that caused thunder to rumble and wind to howl. His bloodline also caused the black sword to faintly move.


    A soul-chilling coldness blew over as a chaotic dragon made of lightning and ice formed.


    In the Purple Saint Ruins, Zhao Feng used this move to send the Wicked Teeth Group flying.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s usage of bloodline, technique, and cultivation had all risen.


    Boom Boom Bam~~~~~


    Two dominating forces clashed in the clouds.


    Around half a breath later, a cold ¡°light of blood¡± seemed to have the advantage and crushed over toward Zhao Feng.


    After all, the Blood Corpse Burn was the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s killing move and required a heavy price to use.


    Boom~~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure retreated by one or two-hundred yards as his blue hair blew wildly in the air.


    Eye Change!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye once again changed into a calm blue.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see this Eye of Water¡¯s power.¡±


    Zhao Feng quickly circulated the bloodline in his body.


    Normally, water specialized in defense. Who knew what it would do when used by a bloodline.


    Boi~~


    A ripple of water formed around Zhao Feng and enveloped his body. On the surface, faint arcs of lightning flashed.


    ¡°Shuu Shuu Shu~~~~¡±


    Beautiful ripples appeared after the light of blood landed on the water barrier, and there was no loud explosion. In fact, there was only an unusual quiet.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure seemed to be unmoving like the ocean.


    What was more incredible was that mysterious lines seemed to surface on the water barrier that seemed to come from ancient times.


    This power was more enveloping than the ice bloodline, slowing down and absorbing the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s attack.

 457 Bloodline’s New Power

    In the air, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s body released an eye-catching blood-colored light as if it were a blood-colored sun.


    Boom Boom Boi~~


    The dominating ray of light swept across a one-mile radius.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s blue hair was blowing in the wind as a barrier of water formed around his body, which slowed down and absorbed the blood-colored light.


    At this moment in time, although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have control of the battle, he was as still as the ocean and as calm as a lake.


    ¡°Looks like the Eye of Water¡¯s bloodline indeed specializes in defense.¡±


    This result is what Zhao Feng was expecting.


    In reality, Ice and Water were both similar powers, just in a different state.


    Zhao Feng probably wouldn¡¯t be able to face the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s secret skill head-on if not for the change in the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Hmph, do you think it¡¯s that simple?¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s raspy voice sounded from the ¡°blood-colored sun.¡±


    Qiu~~~~


    The blood-colored sun that was the Blood Corpse Palace Lord suddenly became two or three times faster as he charged toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Does this Blood Corpse Protector not want his life¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. His body went cold as he felt a sense of danger.


    In his current state, what the Blood Corpse Palace Lord was doing was similar to burning his Qi of True Spirit. The difference was that the Blood Corpse Burn was more stable.


    Shua!


    The water barrier rippled as Zhao Feng retreated. He circulated his Qi of True Spirit and his bloodline power to the maximum.


    ¡°Die~~~!¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s face was twisted as he bit his lips and lifted his arm.


    Crack!


    The blood-corpse arm shot out from the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s shoulder and charged toward Zhao Feng with doubled speed.


    What!!?


    Zhao Feng jumped up in surprise after inspecting it with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord paid the price of an arm to use a power that surpassed his level.


    ¡°Blood Corpse Broken Arm!¡±


    The broken-off arm turned into an eye-catching streak of light.


    ¡°Not good!! Scarlet Moon Secret Technique!¡±


    Old Su, who was watching from far away, broke out into a cold sweat as he saw this attack.


    At this critical moment, Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and locked onto the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s move.


    However, speed reigned supreme in this world.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s move had reached a terrifying speed that almost couldn¡¯t be dodged even by True Lord Ranks, unless it was someone like Lu Tianyi.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts could keep up, his body couldn¡¯t.


    Shuaaaaa~~~~


    The beam of light scraped across Zhao Feng¡¯s body and flew past.


    Boi~ Pa!


    The beautiful barrier of water trembled as it turned dim and shattered.


    Luckily, the Water Bloodline¡¯s strong defense had decreased most of the damage.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body flipped several times in the air as he was pushed back dozens of yards. A streak of blood leaked from his mouth as he stabilized himself.


    He was injured?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was a little ugly. He didn¡¯t expect the Blood Corpse Palace Lord to pay the price of an arm to counterattack.


    The injury that Zhao Feng received just now wasn¡¯t very light, but his expression didn¡¯t change. Due to his Life Returning Grass and Elixir of Life, he had two lives.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng suddenly felt a weird sensation coming from his Water Bloodline.


    Di! Di!


    A thin layer of transparent water washed over Zhao Feng¡¯s body like the spring rain.


    ¡°This is¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his injuries recovering quickly. The most obvious were the bloody marks on his body. They healed with a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. New skin grew without even leaving a scar.


    Great!


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. Although the Water Bloodline didn¡¯t have the Ice Bloodline¡¯s offense and couldn¡¯t slow down the opponent, it had great defensive and healing abilities.


    This bloodline was used to perfection on Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord also had recovery capabilities, but Zhao Feng¡¯s Water Bloodline was obviously better than the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s bloodline can switch between ice and water. Such recovery speed¡­. How is this possible?¡±


    Waves roared in the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s heart.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye now allowed Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline to switch between ice and water, and whatever bloodline Zhao Feng had was just the ¡°product¡± of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    When his bloodline went from ice to water, he had incredible healing and defensive abilities.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord had paid such a heavy price to damage Zhao Feng, but he recovered in just a blink of an eye.


    ¡°Hehehe¡­. All my injuries are now healed.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t contain his happiness.


    On the other hand, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s expression was extremely ugly.


    ¡°Ri-¡­ ridiculous!!¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    However, he didn¡¯t lose his mind. He used the remaining power of the Blood Corpse Burn to escape into the sky.


    At this point in time, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord was heavily injured and missing an arm while Zhao Feng was uninjured. Waves appeared in his heart that couldn¡¯t be calmed down, and he felt utterly helpless.


    Zhao Feng stood in the air and didn¡¯t immediately pursue him.


    ¡°The Water Bloodline has incredible recovery capabilities, but can it heal injuries to the soul?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but ponder.


    Most of his eye bloodline skills were based on the Ball of Ice Soul or the Dark Eye Incomplete Page.


    The Ball of Ice Soul had led Zhao Feng to the gates of the Ancient Dao of the Soul, which in turn led his thoughts to whether he could heal the soul or not.


    Of course, this was just an idea. Zhao Feng still needed to research his bloodline further.


    A few breaths later, Zhao Feng took back his thoughts. He sent the Blood Corpse Palace Lord away with his eyes as a smile appeared on his face.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord let out a breath, ¡°Why isn¡¯t Zhao Feng following?¡±


    The result would be uncertain if Zhao Feng continued to chase him, but what was certain was that the situation wouldn¡¯t be good for the Blood Corpse Palace Lord, who was missing an arm.


    Sou!


    A while later, the sound of flying could be heard.


    The latecomer was a white-bearded man ¨C Old Su ¨C who let out a breath after seeing Zhao Feng was safe.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine that a genius capable of killing all the forces led by a Palace Lord from the Iron Dragon Alliance was born in the Cloud area.¡±


    Old Su¡¯s emotions were complex.


    It appears he had underestimated this youth yet again.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng was fine and had an easygoing expression, Old Su knew that his worrying was useless.


    ¡°If the two of us had teamed up, we would¡¯ve had a high chance of killing the Blood Corpse Palace Lord.¡±


    Old Su couldn¡¯t help but feel regret.


    If he knew Zhao Feng was so strong, Old Su would have stayed behind and killed the Blood Corpse Palace Lord.


    It would be a huge loss to the Iron Dragon Alliance if one of their True Lord Rank Palace Lords died.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have any interest in killing him right now. We¡¯re just playing with the Iron Dragon Alliance.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes squinted as the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s figure finally disappeared.


    Hearing this, Old Su rolled his eyes and was speechless.


    It seemed as if Zhao Feng still hadn¡¯t shown his full strength, and that killing the Blood Corpse Palace Lord wasn¡¯t even difficult.


    But thinking about it, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t even taken out his two True Lord Rank ghost corpses.


    This youth, who had returned from an outside inheritance, had a soul as broad as the ocean and an unfathomable bloodline.


    Who knew how many hidden cards he still had?


    Old Su couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. He couldn¡¯t imagine Zhao Feng¡¯s level or his thoughts.


    ¡°Killing the Blood Corpse Palace Lord won¡¯t affect the overall situation much. My target is to destroy the Iron Dragon Alliance.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was calm.


    Sou Sou!


    Zhao Feng and Old Su went back.


    ¡°Old Su, I¡¯m going back to the Thirteen Countries now,¡± Zhao Feng said.


    He would neither enter this alliance nor lead it.


    All Zhao Feng needed was the Dragon Killing Alliance¡¯s information, as well as their ability to take care of the small hassles that would follow.


    A while later, Zhao Feng landed next to a cliff.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat threw Lin Tong, who was bound by the Mystic Snake Blood Whip, in front of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­.¡±


    Lin Tong hiccupped coldly.


    Zhao Feng returned emotionlessly and safely, which made Lin Tong¡¯s heart shake. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem injured from the battle with the Blood Corpse Palace Lord, which means the Blood Corpse Palace Lord probably lost.


    ¡°Where did you get your new skills and eye techniques?¡±


    Zhao Feng questioned.


    Lin Tong became uneasy and his face showed a struggle with uncertainty.


    ¡°You should know that your eye bloodline has no chance against mine. I can get the answer I want from your mouth without any energy.¡±


    Zhao Feng said slowly.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    Lin Tong gritted his teeth. He didn¡¯t doubt Zhao Feng¡¯s words. Their eye bloodlines weren¡¯t on the same level.


    Of course, Lin Tong didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t dare to use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye right now. He needed to wait until he slept again.


    ¡°What¡¯s the connection between you and the Moon Demon Palace?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked coldly out of nowhere.


    ¡°Moon Demon Palace!? How do you know the Moon Demon Sacred Palace? That¡¯s the core of the Scarlet Moon Inheritance!¡±


    Lin Tong exclaimed.


    ¡°Scarlet Moon Inheritance? You came back from the Scarlet Moon Inheritance?¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. No wonder Lin Tong had such cultivation and such drastic changes in his eye bloodline. It looked like he entered one of the four big inheritances ¨C the Scarlet Moon Inheritance.


    But, what was the connection between the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, the Scarlet Moon Inheritance, and Moon Demon Palace?


    Half a month later, in a desolate desert.


    Qiu~~~


    A faint dark-blood-colored light landed inside an ancient castle in the desert.


    When the blood-colored light faded, it revealed the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s weak figure.


    At the same time, a large bloody blue bird descended from the sky.


    The bloody blue bird¡¯s aura had reached the True Mystic Rank and it caused winds to blow chaotically with its wings.


    ¡°True Lord Tiexiao¡­ it¡¯s you?¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s footsteps stopped as he glanced at the two figures on the bloody blue bird.


    Sou Sou!


    Two figures jumped off the bloody blue bird.


    One of them was a youth holding an iron fan. His skin glittered with a metallic feeling and gave off a cold aura.


    ¡°I just came back from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡­ Hmm? Blood Corpse Palace Lord, what happened to you? Why are you so severely injured?¡±


    This youth was obviously ¡°True Lord Tiexiao,¡± the one who forced the elders of the Twelve Clans to sign a blood pact at the Dragon Concealing Lake two years ago.


    Next to True Lord Tiexiao was a black-robed youth with an emotionless expression.

 458 Dark Heart Seed

    In the desolate desert, a dark castle was surrounded with white bones and became one with the yellow sand.


    In front of the castle, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord met up with the two people that descended from the bloody blue bird.


    True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s face was filled with surprise as he looked at the Blood Corpse Palace Lord. Not only was he severely injured, he was also missing an arm.


    On the side, the expressionless black-robed youth also couldn¡¯t help reacting by clicking his tongue, ¡°This Blood Corpse Palace Lord comes from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and is known for his brutality and cunningness. Even amongst the four Palace Lords, his status and strength are quite high. How did he end up in this state?¡±


    ¡°Blood Corpse Palace Lord, who was the one that beat you to such a state?¡±


    Under True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s questioning, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord unwillingly spat out what happened.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t talk about the specifics of his defeat, as he felt he would lose face discussing the specifics in front of another Palace Lord.


    Although the Blood Corpse Palace Lord had only given a simple summary of what happened, True Lord Tiexiao was still able to guess how disastrous the battle was.


    ¡°The elites of two Palaces were all slaughtered?¡±


    ¡°Even the Blood Corpse Palace Lord himself was heavily injured and barely managed to escape, and all of this was done by a junior?¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao and the black-robed youth were shocked. If it were an elder, they could manage to accept this, but this was all done by a youth.


    When did the Cloud area have such a monstrous genius?


    ¡°Who is that youth?¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao didn¡¯t seem to believe the Blood Corpse Palace Lord. He just returned from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, what kind of geniuses hadn¡¯t he seen before?


    ¡°An unknown brat called Zhao Feng.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord said angrily as he spat and turned his head around, as if not wanting to mention him further.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!?¡±


    ¡°What¡­? It¡¯s him!?¡±


    The expressions of True Lord Tiexiao and the black-robed youth changed dramatically.


    Obviously, the name ¡°Zhao Feng¡± stunned them.


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s footsteps stopped as he squinted his eyes with a weird expression, ¡°You know that brat?¡±


    ¡°Looks like the Blood Corpse Palace Lord doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s happened. He¡¯s not an unknown brat, he¡¯s a prodigy that¡¯s shocked the continent.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao said solemnly as he let out a light breath.


    After returning from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, True Lord Tiexiao and company didn¡¯t just know Zhao Feng, they knew him well.


    What¡¯s going on?


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord was dizzy and his expression darkened.


    True Lord Tiexiao started to tell the tale of Zhao Feng¡¯s performance and his final result in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    During this process, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s face was very colorful, filled with utter shock.


    Siii!


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord took in a cold breath.


    He never would have thought that the youth he fought was an overwhelming prodigy of this generation.


    This Sacred True Dragon Gathering was the peak of thousands of generations.


    Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao were crowned the ¡°Two Overwhelming Prodigy Kings¡± that suppressed the countless geniuses of several generations and made the river of history become dull.


    Maybe only the Scarlet Moon Patriarch and Sword Saint Ye Wuxie were able to compare to these two ¡°Overwhelming Prodigy Kings.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that this brat¡¯s strength would have risen so much after returning from the outside inheritance.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao sighed.


    However, thinking about the other Overwhelming Prodigy King Yu Tianhao, who had reached the early stage True Lord Rank after returning to this continent, made normal True Lord Ranks tremble.


    Facing this terrifying overwhelming prodigy king, both True Lord Tiexiao and the Blood Corpse Palace Lord felt troubled.


    ¡°It¡¯ll be hard to kill this brat with just one or two True Lord Ranks. We need at least several True Lord Ranks with a good plan to have a chance.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s face of hate was replaced with solemnness.


    Knowing Zhao Feng¡¯s performance in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord felt better.


    ¡°Once we can¡¯t kill a genius of this level, the threat that their future brings is immeasurable. We need to plan well, and if we want to have a 100% chance, ask Division Leader to help.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao suggested.


    Division Leader?


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s face with filled with deep respect.


    He was only a Protector of a Sub-Division in the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and his status was just below a Sub-Division Leader¡¯s.


    However, only those that became a true Division Leader were considered a member of the upper echelon of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    Back then, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had ¡°Twelve Divisions, One Hundred Eight Sub-Divisions¡± and their power was spread across the continent.


    The Twelve Divisions could even face the Ten Great Clans of the continent when they were at their peak.


    Both True Lord Tiexiao and the Blood Corpse Palace Lord didn¡¯t doubt that, if they asked the Division Leader for help, they could easily kill Zhao Feng.


    However, to ask a Division Leader to deal with a mere junior might be overexaggerating the problem and might cause the Division Leader to be unhappy.


    ¡°Division Leader has been recovering his strength over the past two years and won¡¯t do anything unless he has to. Furthermore, the Iron Dragon Alliance has four Palace Lords and some hidden forces of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. As long as we don¡¯t face a force comparable to the Ten Great Clans, we don¡¯t need to fear anything.¡±


    The Blood Corpse Palace Lord shook his head.


    Although Zhao Feng was strong, the threat he imposed was only at the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°True, but we need to quickly connect with Long and Bi Ji, the two other Palace Lords.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao nodded his head.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    Three figures soon flew toward the castle.


    In the air, True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s footsteps suddenly paused.


    ¡°Bei Moi, if I remember correctly, that Zhao Feng comes from the same clan as you.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s eyes were emotionless.


    Hearing this, a cold light flashed in the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s eyes as he locked onto the silent emotionless youth.


    This black-robed youth was Bei Moi of the Broken Moon Clan, who had returned from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Hearing this, Bei Moi couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly and nod his head helplessly.


    Several days later, in a place near a small lake by the borders of the two strong countries.


    ¡°How long have I slept for?¡±


    A lazy voice sounded.


    With a ¡°whoosh,¡± a blue-haired youth crawled out from under a layer of sand and wiped off some dust.


    ¡°Twenty-five days.¡±


    Lin Tong said after some thought.


    Ever since he was captured by the little thieving cat, Lin Tong became a prisoner.


    After parting ways with Old Su, Zhao Feng headed toward the Thirteen Countries, but fell asleep after half a day.


    In this period, Lin Tong waited without daring to do anything. He had experienced the little thieving cat¡¯s abilities, which could stun him out of nowhere.


    Lin Tong¡¯s fear of the little thieving cat had surpassed his fear of its owner.


    ¡°We can¡¯t stay any longer.¡±


    Zhao Feng yawned as he summoned the Azure Swallow from his ancient metal ring.


    After waking up this time, Zhao Feng felt that the bloating sensation had decreased once again. It was almost undetectable.


    It was certain that the eye¡¯s situation had stabilized.


    However, the pond in the dimension of his left eye still hadn¡¯t broken through ten yards. Zhao Feng knew that the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was just half a step away from evolving once more.


    The conversion between ice and water was only a minor change that didn¡¯t affect the foundation much.


    Apart from that, Zhao Feng found that he had signs of breaking through to the True Lord Rank even without going into seclusion.


    ¡°My strength will rise if I break through to the True Lord Rank, but I need to return quickly to the Broken Moon Clan in case something happens.¡±


    Zhao Feng shot off into the sky on the swallow.


    On the Azure Swallow was also the prisoner Lin Tong.


    ¡°Lin Tong!¡±


    A ripple appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye that made Lin Tong hiccup. He felt a powerful surge of mental energy enter his soul.


    ¡°No¡­ don¡¯t¡­¡±


    Lin Tong struggled in fear. He obviously knew the importance of the soul as he was someone who trained in mental energy.


    The soul was a person¡¯s core, and once the soul was eroded by an outside force, the result would be unimaginable.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s power was too strong, preventing Lin Tong from fighting back.


    ¡°Dark Heart Seed!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye shot out a dark-blue drop of water the size of a seed.


    Qiu~~~


    The mysterious dark-blue drop of water entered Lin Tong¡¯s soul.


    ¡°This Dark Heart Seed will control your every action and even your thoughts. You can¡¯t escape my mental energy senses within a ten-thousand-mile radius.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    The Dark Heart Seed came from the Ball of Ice Soul and Dark Eye Incomplete Page.


    The Ball of Ice Soul contained knowledge which allowed Zhao Feng to understand more of the soul and the essence of the Dao of Ice Soul.


    Although the Dark Eye Incomplete Page was only partially complete and Zhao Feng was unable to cultivate the legendary Eye of Death, it still recorded many deadly skills.


    ¡°Dark Heart Seed? What do you want me to do?¡±


    Although Lin Tong was scared and uneasy, he didn¡¯t dare fight back.


    The Dark Heart Seed Zhao Feng used was similar to the Ghost Mark set on him by the mysterious skeleton, but the Dark Heart Seed that was used through the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was more powerful.


    Zhao Feng could even make the Dark Heart Seed explode and bring disaster upon Lin Tong if he wished, as long as he was within a certain distance.


    ¡°I need a slave for my return to the Cloud area and you¡¯re very suitable since you have an eye bloodline. Why else do you think you¡¯re still alive?¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly.


    Lin Tong¡¯s heart went cold after hearing this. Compared to humiliation, he had more fear of death and what the future held.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words meant that he felt Lin Tong was slightly useful, which is why he was still alive. If he couldn¡¯t do anything, Lin Tong probably would¡¯ve ended up the same as the other members of the Iron Dragon Alliance ¨C dead as a doornail.


    Of course, Zhao Feng kept Lin Tong around not only because he wanted a slave, but also because he wanted to understand how Lin Tong used his eye bloodline.


    After all, Zhao Feng still hadn¡¯t found an eye bloodline inheritance suitable for him.


    Several days later, the Azure Swallow finally took Zhao Feng and company to enter the Thirteen Countries.

 459 Return 1

    Broken Moon Clan, morning.


    The faint mist that surrounded the Sky Moon Mountain gave off a dazzling shine as it reflected the sunlight.


    The mountain was green and full of magnificent, elegant buildings.


    The buildings on the Sky Moon Mountain were much bigger than they were two years ago, and the figures of the Clan disciples hurried around.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to see that, after Master Haiyun became the new Clan Master, the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s overall strength and size were rising day by day and were completely different from two years ago.


    In mid-air, the azure Floating Crest Palace hovered in the sky while a layer of lightning surrounded it like some kind of legend.


    In the entire Broken Moon Clan, only the Floating Crest Palace¡¯s aura was faint, as if forgotten.


    In front of the mountain.


    ¡°Who dares to come here?¡±


    Two disciples guarding the hill looked coldly at a young man who was approaching.


    The young man was only twenty years old and quite handsome, but he was covered in dirt and seemed to be tired and filled with loneliness.


    ¡°Hmph! You don¡¯t even recognize me!?¡±


    The young man harrumphed coldly as he released a powerful aura that caused the wind to blow.


    ¡°Ahh!¡±


    The two disciples exclaimed as they became rooted to the ground by that aura.


    The man in front of them was at least at the half-step True Spirit Realm and had started to touch the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Brother¡­ Brother Yang Gan!¡±


    The expression of one Third Sky disciple changed as he stuttered.


    Brother Yang Gan!?


    The other new disciple also jumped up in fright.


    ¡°Under the lead of Clan Master Haiyun, the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s expanding very fast. I¡¯ve only been away for one year but there¡¯s already so many new faces.¡±


    Yang Gan mocked as he walked inside.


    The two disciples guarding the mountain looked at each other with surprise on their faces.


    ¡°Brother Yang Gan came back at this time?¡±


    ¡°Half a month ago, First Elder was apparently locked up by Clan Master Haiyun and the Regulations Elder.¡±


    ¡°Shhh¡­. This isn¡¯t something us bottom disciples can discuss.¡±


    The two disciples watched as Yang Gan went inside.


    On the way, Yang Gan greeted some familiar disciples and elders, but he felt that something was wrong somehow as everyone looked at him queerly.


    An hour later, within an old building.


    ¡°What!?? I¡¯ve only been away for one year and Master¡¯s been punished to think about his sins for two years? Who has the power to punish First Elder in the Broken Moon Clan?¡±


    Yang Gan roared in anger.


    Facing him, the old silver-haired Granny Liuyue smiled bitterly, ¡°In the current Broken Moon Clan, Clan Master Haiyun reigns supreme. He¡¯s extremely strong and has the trust of the Iron Dragon Alliance. Not long ago, Clan Master Haiyun teamed up with the Regulations Elder and two other Elders to lock up First Elder.¡±


    Ridiculous!!


    Even Yang Gan, who was normally calm, couldn¡¯t help but jump up in rage, ¡°Why~~~~!¡±


    ¡°Two years ago, Zhao Feng was pursued across the Thirteen Countries, but fortunately, First Elder was prepared. He moved Zhao Feng¡¯s parents, as well as the previous Clan Master¡¯s relatives, to a safe place. Clan Master Haiyun has always taken this to heart, and apparently, there¡¯re rumors of Zhao Feng returning to the Cloud area.¡±


    Granny Liuyue sighed.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng? You¡¯re saying that he¡¯s coming back to the Cloud area?¡±


    Yang Gan exclaimed with excitement.


    After the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Yang Gan¡¯s excitement and joy turned to loneliness and defeat.


    This was because, after the Sacred True Dragon Gathering ended, he didn¡¯t see Zhao Feng return from the outside inheritance. But now there was news of Zhao Feng coming back to the Cloud area?


    ¡°This is the latest news, which made Clan Master Haiyun rage. He once again gave an order across the Thirteen Countries for Zhao Feng¡¯s death.¡±


    Granny Liuyue¡¯s words were filled with worry.


    ¡°Great¡­! Brother Zhao, I hope you can return safely.¡±


    Yang Gan¡¯s face was filled with surprise and excitement, which made Granny Liuyue puzzled.


    She suddenly realized the true meaning behind Yang Gan going to the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°Did you see Brother Zhao in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering?¡±


    Granny Liuyue seemed to understand and asked.


    Yang Gan was about to reply, but some unwanted sounds came from outside the door.


    ¡°Yang Gan, come out and get ready to receive the Clan¡¯s punishment!¡±


    A cold, commanding voice sounded from outside.


    Outside the Elder¡¯s building, several familiar Core disciples stood at the entrance.


    ¡°Yuan Zhi? Quan Chen? What are you doing?¡±


    Yang Gan walked out and surveyed the group of disciples.


    There were many familiar faces here, including Yuan Zhi, Quan Chen, and Lu Hu, who were disciples of the opposition.


    ¡°Yang Gan, you didn¡¯t obey the rules of the Clan, leaving the Clan on your own accord for a year. Since I¡¯m the Head Disciple, I have the right to punish you.¡±


    Yuan Zhi stood coldly with his hands behind his back.


    After Zhao Feng and Bei Moi left, Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s second disciple Yuan Zhi became the new Head Disciple since Yang Gan had left the Clan for a year.


    ¡°Left on my own accord? I was following First Elder¡¯s orders and went outside for a year. What power do you have to punish me?¡±


    Yang Gan shouted from the front of the door.


    In terms of cultivation and strength, Yang Gan surpassed these guys. Their progress wasn¡¯t bad, but Head Disciple Yuan Zhi was only at the Seventh Sky while Quan Chen was only at the Sixth Sky. There was still a gap between them and Yang Gan.


    After all, Yang Gan had just returned from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and his scope had risen.


    ¡°Martial Nephew Yang, even your Master was locked up by the Regulations Division. You¡¯re just a junior.¡±


    An old voice sounded from far away.


    Sou!


    An elder holding a staff descended from the sky.


    ¡°Regulations Elder!¡± The disciples below exclaimed as they bowed down.


    The newcomer was the Regulations Elder who had tried to punish Zhao Feng after the Floating Crest Trials since he kicked Lu Hu out.


    At this moment, Lu Hu and the other Core disciples coldly looked at Yang Gan.


    ¡°Regulations Elder¡­¡±


    Yang Gan felt a dominating aura. This Regulations Elder had reached the late-stage True Human Rank. He wasn¡¯t someone a half-step True Spirit Realm like Yang Gan could be compared to.


    ¡°Regulations Elder, Yang Gan leaving the Clan wasn¡¯t his fault since he left on First Elder¡¯s orders. I hope you can go easy on him.¡±


    Granny Liuyue smiled bitterly and said.


    The Regulations Elder himself coming was overkill for a mere ¡°disciple that left the Clan.¡±


    ¡°Because this is your first fault and you didn¡¯t do this of your own volition, this Elder will go easy on you. From today onward, you will lead a group and complete forty-nine missions without any reward or disagreement.¡±


    The Regulations Elder had a calm expression.


    Yang Gan had the urge to explode, but he was restrained by Granny Liuyue, ¡°Calm down. You haven¡¯t made any big mistakes, so the Regulations Elder can¡¯t trouble you. But if you become rash and ¡®offend an Elder,¡¯ he can make you lose a layer of skin.¡±


    ¡°Yang Gan, do you accept this punishment?¡±


    The cold, powerful voice sounded.


    ¡°This disciple is willing.¡±


    Yang Gan suppressed his anger and killing intent as he accepted the forty-nine missions.


    Three days later, Yang Gan led a group and walked out from the Central Division.


    ¡°Sister Ran, Brother Lin, Brother Yang¡­ sorry for dragging all of you into this.¡±


    Yang Gan turned around and smiled bitterly as he looked at these familiar faces.


    The disciples doing this mission with him were those that had a good relationship with Zhao Feng, such as Ran Xiaoyuan, Lin Fan, and Yang Qingshan.


    Amongst them, Ran Xiaoyuan was the previous Clan Master¡¯s personal disciple and, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that everyone lost First Elder¡¯s protection, they wouldn¡¯t have been sent to this group.


    ¡°Brother Yang, I¡¯m worried that Clan Master Haiyun won¡¯t let you go this easily. You should run away during the mission.¡±


    Lin Fan suggested.


    Back then, Lin Fan became an inner disciple around the same time as Zhao Feng and they both participated in the Floating Crest Trials.


    His cultivation had now reached the Fourth or Fifth Sky of the Ascended Realm, with plenty of help from Zhao Feng back then.


    ¡°I can¡¯t run, and I don¡¯t have a chance anyway.¡±


    Yang Gan raised his head.


    In the skies, there was a little black dot.


    ¡°A group like this is worthy of two half-step True Spirit Realms and several Seventh Sky Ascended Realm experts watching us?¡±


    Yang Gan soon led the group and walked out.


    Right at this moment, the sound of flying appeared.


    ¡°True Spirit Realm experts, and there¡¯s so many of them¡­.¡±


    The members of the Regulation Division were shocked. In their eyes, only those at the True Spirit Realm could fly freely, and several True Spirit Realms appearing at once was a rare occasion.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    One of the True Spirit Realms, a black-robed youth, suddenly stopped.


    Sou!


    The black-robed youth descended with a powerful True Spirit Realm aura.


    Such a young True Spirit Realm!


    The nearby disciples of the Broken Moon Clan held their breaths.


    ¡°It-¡­ it¡¯s you!¡±


    ¡°Bei Moi!¡±


    Yang Gan and company exclaimed.


    The newcomer was an expressionless youth who scanned over the group. His gaze landed on Yang Qingshan for a short while.


    Back then, Bei Moi, Yang Qingshan, and Zhao Feng were all under Lord Guanjun. This time, Bei Moi had reached the True Spirit Realm, and his aura wasn¡¯t much different from the Regulations Elder.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    A weird light flashed in Bei Moi¡¯s eyes as he looked at the group of people in front of him. Most of them were on First Elder¡¯s side or disciples that once had good connections with Zhao Feng.


    Yang Gan harrumphed coldly, obviously not very respectful toward Bei Moi.


    Only Ran Xiaoyuan summarized what happened with a low tone.


    ¡°Oh.¡±


    Bei Moi remained unmoved as he met up with the several figures in the sky and entered the Broken Moon Clan.


    Sky Moon Mountain, in an enormous building that stood out amongst the rest.


    ¡°Hehe, Bei Moi, you indeed didn¡¯t disappoint me. You¡¯ve returned from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and you¡¯ve even gained the trust of the Palace Lord and the Iron Dragon Alliance.¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s handsome face was filled with a bright smile as he patted Bei Moi¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°Master, have you heard the news of Zhao Feng returning? According to the Iron Dragon Alliance, Zhao Feng has already entered the Thirteen Countries and is heading toward the Broken Moon Clan with a fierce attitude. This isn¡¯t good for Master.¡±


    Bei Moi said expressionlessly.

 460 Return 2

    Broken Moon Clan, Clan Master¡¯s building.


    ¡°¡­Zhao Feng has already entered the Thirteen Countries and is heading toward the Broken Moon Clan with a fierce attitude. This isn¡¯t good for Master.¡±


    Bei Moi expressionlessly announced a shocking piece of news.


    The nearby black-hooded figures had auras as deep as the ocean. They had all reached the True Spirit Realm, but none of them said anything from start to finish.


    ¡°Hmph, that little brat wants to kill me?¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun snickered coldly, ¡°I already received some news half a month ago and asked a Core Elder from the Iron Dragon Alliance to come hold down the fort at the Sky Moon Mountain. On top of that, I¡¯ve also hired a powerful ally to wait for Zhao Feng.¡±


    ¡°Master has already planned to perfection.¡±


    Bei Moi revealed a rare look of praise. The news of Zhao Feng returning to the Cloud area wasn¡¯t common knowledge. Only a small number of people knew the situation.


    The Iron Dragon Alliance also locked down the information of the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s defeat and Zhao Feng¡¯s exact strength, as this regarded the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s face.


    Of course, back then, Zhao Feng had already killed almost all of the Blood Corpse Palace Lord¡¯s forces. So, apart from a small number of people, no one knew anything in the first place.


    Bei Moi praised the fact that Clan Master Haiyun reacted to just a few minor traces and planned for Zhao Feng¡¯s arrival.


    It wasn¡¯t just luck that Master Haiyun had reached his current status.


    ¡°Oh, and these friends are¡­?¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s eyes glanced toward the black-hooded figures behind Bei Moi.


    ¡°Master, after returning to the Cloud area, the threat Zhao Feng poses to the Iron Dragon Alliance is very large. The upper echelons of the Iron Dragon Alliance aren¡¯t happy, so they ordered a couple experts to come with me and test out his strength.¡±


    Bei Moi summarized calmly.


    ¡°Good, good, good, good, the Iron Dragon Alliance has placed great importance on both you and me. Looks like the heavens have decided that Zhao Feng can only come and never go back.¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s smile became even brighter.


    On the same day that Bei Moi returned, Clan Master Haiyun held a small celebration. Although it seemed relaxed on the surface, the Sky Moon Mountain actually became even more heavily guarded.


    All the Elders of the Broken Moon Clan in seclusion came out. The Broken Moon Clan¡¯s strength had reached a peak, and the bottom disciples could feel an unusual air of killing intent. But on the surface, the Broken Moon Clan was happy.


    This was Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s tactic of ¡°looking relaxed on the outside, tense on the inside.¡±


    Right at this moment, Yang Gan led his group and left the Clan as they headed off to finish the first of the forty-nine missions.


    A large flying beast carrying two half-step True Spirit Realms and several Seventh Sky Ascended Realms surveyed the group from above.


    ¡°This is so boring. There¡¯s no challenge for us at all watching over this bunch of brats.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, the Regulations Elder said that if any one of them tries to run we can kill them.¡±


    Instead of being hard, Yang Gan¡¯s first mission was actually very easy.


    The mission was to collect a type of bird shit near the forests.


    Outer disciples could do these easy and dirty jobs, but Yang Gan and company, who were inner disciples or even Core disciples, were forced to do this.


    It had to be said that this was a test of patience, suppression, and humiliation.


    ¡°Everyone, keep it up. I believe that Brother Zhao will arrive soon and change the destiny of the Clan.¡±


    Yang Gan said.


    When mentioning ¡°Brother Zhao,¡± the eyes of the group were filled with a colorful light.


    Most of these disciples had a good relationship with Zhao Feng.


    Back then, many people witnessed his growth to the number one genius of the Thirteen Clans.


    ¡°Brother Zhao¡¯s future is definitely higher than Bei Moi¡¯s.¡±


    ¡°But can Brother Zhao alone really save the Broken Moon Clan? Clan Master Haiyun has the Iron Dragon Alliance behind him¡­.¡±


    The disciples of the group were filled with half-joy and half-worry.


    ¡°It¡¯s uncertain whether he can change the overall situation, but it shouldn¡¯t be hard to change our situation.¡±


    A deep calm voice came from Lin Fan.


    Lin Fan was the first person to become Zhao Feng¡¯s ally and they even entered the Floating Crest Palace together.


    He was probably the one that knew Zhao Feng the best.


    Half a day later.


    Yang Gan¡¯s group finished the first mission and was heading back to the Clan to hand over the task.


    At this moment in time, shouts of fear and panic sounded in front of the mountain.


    ¡°Oh my god¡­. That person!¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and tell the Elders~~~~!¡±


    The figures watching the entrance exclaimed.


    In the air, the pupils of the two half-step True Spirit Realms and the several Seventh Sky Ascended Realms constricted.


    ¡°It¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s actually him!¡±


    The expressions of those on the flying beast were solemn.


    At the entrance of the mountain, a blue-haired youth smiled with his hands behind his back as he looked forward.


    This youth had obviously been here for a while. He was inspecting the mountain as if he had a special feeling toward it.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! It¡¯s really him!¡±


    The figures on the flying beast exclaimed.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, Clan Master Haiyun has given the order for your death across the Thirteen Countries and yet you dare come here to die?¡±


    ¡°Traitor Zhao Feng, give up!¡±


    The Regulators and the disciples of the Broken Moon Clan yelled, but none of them dared do anything.


    Who didn¡¯t know about this youth¡¯s miracles and fearsome rumors.


    The title of number one genius of the Thirteen Clans still belonged to the Broken Moon Clan and was immovable.


    ¡°Hehe, can you please tell Clan Master Haiyun that the traitor Zhao Feng is here to repent for his sins.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly with his hands behind his back.


    Hearing this, everyone broke out into discussion.


    At this instant, the disciples, the Regulators, the experts on the flying beast, and even the group that completed the mission were dazed.


    Repent for his sin?


    The jaws of the disciples from the Broken Moon Clan almost fell down.


    Many people knew that Zhao Feng was a wanted man in the Thirteen Countries and that he had escaped from the Cloud area.


    Since he already escaped, why did he come back? Was he sick in the head?


    ¡°This... how is this possible?¡±


    ¡°Brother Zhao¡­ came back to repent for his sins?¡±


    Yang Gan and company felt as if a bowl of cold water was poured on them.


    Just a moment ago, they were thinking about Zhao Feng¡¯s miraculous return. But in the blink of an eye, they had fallen from heaven to hell.


    As if sensing something, Zhao Feng suddenly turned around to face Yang Gan and company and smiled faintly.


    This smile was full of warmth.


    Yang Gan, Lin Fan, Yang Qingshan, and company froze.


    Apart from Lin Fan, everyone else was filled with disappointment.


    ¡°Brother Zhao might not be truly surrendering.¡±


    Lin Fan had an instinctive feeling that came from his understanding of Zhao Feng.


    He knew very clearly about Zhao Feng¡¯s control, intelligence, and calmness.


    ¡°We meet again, brothers and sisters.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye rippled with calmness similar to the spring rain.


    When seeing the mysterious left eye, the group felt unusually calm and safe.


    At the same time, Sky Moon Mountain, Clan Master¡¯s hall.


    ¡°Reporting to the Clan Master, Zhao Feng has arrived at the front of the mountain and says that he wants to repent for his sins.¡±


    This shocking news spread like wildfire across the entire Broken Moon Clan.


    Within the hall, Clan Master Haiyun, the Regulations Elder, the other Elders, and the Division Leaders were all stunned.


    ¡°Repent for his sins? Are you sure you didn¡¯t mistake him for the wrong person?¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s mouth was wide open.


    Zhao Feng surrendering?


    He wouldn¡¯t believe this even if someone killed him.


    ¡°He has blue hair and a blue eye. He also has that cat¡­¡±


    A Regulator from below said respectfully.


    That cat.


    Bei Moi¡¯s eyebrows twitched as anger built up. That person was definitely Zhao Feng.


    Back then in the Floating Crest Palace, the little thieving cat had tricked him.


    ¡°Hmph, we¡¯ll see what this Zhao Feng is up to.¡±


    Suspicion made Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s eyebrows rise, but he still stood up.


    A while later, Clan Master Haiyun and the upper echelons of the Clan looked down from above.


    In their sight was a blue-haired youth with his hands behind his back. On his shoulder was a little cat waving a white flag.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the white flag with joy.


    A white flag meant surrender in both the mortal world and the world of cultivation. This scene made the upper echelons of the Broken Moon Clan have colorful expressions.


    This was especially the case for Bei Moi. His face twitched and he almost choked when he saw the little thieving cat wave the white flag.


    ¡°Traitor Zhao Feng has returned to the Broken Moon Clan to ask for Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s forgiveness.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and slowly walked toward the clan.


    ¡°Stop right there!¡±


    ¡°Traitor, since you¡¯re repenting for your sins, give up!¡±


    The nearby disciples and Regulators acted as if they were facing a powerful enemy. Anyone could see that Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had reached the True Spirit Realm. Normal people didn¡¯t dare to attack him.


    ¡°He¡¯s really surrendering?¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    Zhao Feng acted in a calm and confident manner, which was even more dramatic than before.


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s heart began to feel uneasy. Through his Spiritual Sense, he confirmed that Zhao Feng was at the True Spirit Realm, but didn¡¯t know what Rank Zhao Feng was at.


    ¡°Hehe, Clan Master Haiyun, aren¡¯t you looking for me? Are you not happy that I¡¯ve come back?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s smile became even brighter as he gave off a harmless feeling.


    On the mountain, the upper echelons of the Broken Moon Clan started to enter a discussion.


    ¡°What does Clan Master have to fear? We¡¯ve set down an Eight Dragon Demon Slaughtering Array at the Central Division. Even if he has the ability to flip the skyn he won¡¯t be able to escape.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, this brat is courting death. How can we not welcome him?¡±

 461 Terrifying Subordinate

    On the mountain, after a short discussion, the upper echelons of the Broken Moon Clan quickly made a decision.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, because you have the guts and courage to admit your guilt, your punishment will be decreased. Take Zhao Feng to the Central Hall.¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun let out a long laugh and waved his hand as his eyes went cold.


    As soon as his words finished.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    Several experts of the Clan, ranging from the 6th and 7th Sky of the Ascended Realm to the half-step True Spirit Realm, flew toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng smiled but didn¡¯t speak, glancing toward the sky.


    Plop Plop Plop!


    The eyes of the disciples that attempted to capture Zhao Feng lost their light as they fell from the skies.


    A cold and evil mental energy aura filled the air.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡±


    The upper echelons of the Broken Moon Clan turned toward the sky with shock.


    In the clouds, a cold youth clad in pure black stood on a flying beast.


    ¡°This is the result of whoever disrespects my Master.¡±


    The cold youth¡¯s eyes were mysterious, and a ball of scarlet and darkness seemed to appear in his eyes.


    ¡°What a terrifying eye bloodline.¡±


    The Elders of the Broken Moon Clan hiccupped coldly.


    Not only was the youth¡¯s eye bloodline powerful, his aura had also reached the True Mystic Rank.


    One had to know that, apart from the two helpers the Broken Moon Clan had requested, the remaining Elders were all at the True Human Rank.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that flying beast the one that was surveying us?¡±


    Yang Gan¡¯s group was puzzled. Not long ago, the exact same flying beast was carrying the experts of the Broken Moon Clan to keep an eye on them.


    In the blink of an eye, the flying beast was being controlled by the cold youth.


    ¡°Hmm? Doesn¡¯t that youth look somewhat familiar?¡±


    Some of the geniuses turned toward the youth.


    ¡°It¡¯s him¡­.¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    ¡°Lin Tong!¡±


    Yang Gan took in a cold breath. Back at the Thirteen Clans Alliance Banquet, the name ¡°Lin Tong¡± was a nightmare.


    Apart from Zhao Feng, Cang Yuyue, and a few other geniuses, no one was able to withstand a single glance from him.


    Back then, both Yang Gan and Bei Moi were defeated by him in just one move.


    Even years after the event, Lin Tong still struck fear in their hearts.


    Now, Lin Tong¡¯s achievements greatly surpassed Yang Gan and Bei Moi.


    Lin Tong was extremely talented and he had a powerful eye bloodline. He could be said to be one of the top geniuses of the Thirteen Countries.


    At this moment in time, everyone broke out into discussion with Lin Tong¡¯s appearance.


    ¡°This Lin Tong is from the Iron Dragon Alliance. He¡¯s even a core member of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, why would he¡­?¡±


    Bei Moi didn¡¯t understand. Both he and Lin Tong were considered to be from the Iron Dragon Alliance, but Lin Tong¡¯s status was far higher than Bei Moi¡¯s. He was accepted into the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. He even entered the Scarlet Moon Inheritance.


    What made everyone more shocked was that even someone as strong as Lin Tong called Zhao Feng his Master.


    ¡°Lin Tong, don¡¯t be disrespectful. I¡¯ve come to apologize truthfully to Clan Master Haiyun.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly as he walked slowly toward the Central Hall.


    On the way, no one dared to attack Zhao Feng.


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s eyes twinkled as he led the upper echelons of the Broken Moon Clan to arrive at the Central Hall first.


    Zhao Feng walked very slowly and saw many familiar faces on the way.


    Halfway across the mountain.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you little brat, why did you come back?¡±


    Two white-bearded elders looked on with puzzlement and open eyes.


    ¡°Old Guan, Old Zhang.¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a warm smile. A sizzle of warmth appeared in his heart as he remembered the days when the two fought over who would take him as their disciple.


    Zhao Feng had learned the foundation of pills and arrays from these two, but in the end, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t choose the Dao of Pills nor the world of arrays.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, why did you come back?¡±


    The two glanced toward Zhao Feng with unwillingness.


    The two had high hopes and expectations for Zhao Feng, but they didn¡¯t understand the latter¡¯s current actions.


    How could the two be willing to watch a prodigy like Zhao Feng fall?


    ¡°Please relax. How could I disappoint you?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and turned around after saying this.


    Old Zhang and Old Guan looked at each other with a look of surprise.


    It wasn¡¯t hard for them to see that Zhao Feng had reached the True Spirit Realm. Under close contact, they could tell that his aura was unfathomable, greater than any Elder of the Broken Moon Clan.


    The two watched Zhao Feng walk away with solemn expressions.


    In front of the Central Hall, Clan Master Haiyun, the Regulations Elder, and remaining upper echelons were waiting.


    Above the Central Hall, the aura of lightning from the Floating Crest Palace lit up.


    ¡°Floating Crest Palace, long time no see.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and nodded his head as an unbelievable scene occurred.


    The Floating Crest Palace seemed to acknowledge Zhao Feng¡¯s greeting and started to hum as if welcoming back an old friend.


    The expressions of the upper echelons in front of the Central Hall were slightly ugly.


    The Floating Crest Palace was the core inheritance of the Broken Moon Clan. What did it mean by this?


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ To have entered this place¡­ what an arrogant brat!¡±


    A booming sound came from the sky.


    Sou~~~


    A large figure stepped through the air and caused the winds to howl. The aura of this ¡°Scarlet-Purple male¡± was dense and thick and radiated a terrifying energy that caused the True Spirit Realm Elders present to shake.


    ¡°True Mystic Rank!¡±


    ¡°It seems to be the peak True Mystic Rank!¡±


    The Regulations Elder, Granny Liuyue, and other Elders all took in a deep breath.


    ¡°Seventh Core Elder!¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s face was filled with joy as he greeted the newcomer.


    The newcomer was one of the two reinforcements Clan Master Haiyun called for.


    A few days ago, Clan Master Haiyun heard the news of Zhao Feng¡¯s return and felt uneasy. After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s miracles were famous across the Thirteen Countries. Who knew what kind of path First Elder had left for Zhao Feng. He might even be able to bring in reinforcements from strong countries, or even great countries.


    Therefore, Clan Master Haiyun asked the Iron Dragon Alliance for assistance.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng had already killed two Core Elders of the Iron Dragon Alliance, so they sent the high-ranking Seventh Core Elder over.


    Any one of the Core Elders was a being that Clan Master Haiyun could only look up to.


    Furthermore, this Core Elder was ranked Seventh. On top of that, Clan Master Haiyun also hired a powerful ally.


    ¡°Hehehe, Clan Master Haiyun, you don¡¯t need to worry~~~¡±


    A light laugh rang from far away.


    This newcomer was a middle-aged man dressed like a scholar. Ripples of silver came from his feet and he had a sword on his back.


    ¡°It¡¯s Xiang Yunzi!¡±


    ¡°Clan Master Haiyun could even hire him!? This Xiang Yunzi doesn¡¯t belong to any force. He¡¯s a cultivator who roams the Thirteen Countries.¡±


    Many elders of the Broken Moon Clan recognized the identity of this person.


    In the world of cultivation, most experts came from a Clan or family, but there were exceptions. Some freelancers also had the chance to become a top-tier expert, although the chances were very low.


    This ¡°Xiang Yunzi¡± was such a person, and he had a good relationship with the Thirteen Clans.


    Under normal circumstances, Xiang Yunzi acted peacefully and never participated in the clashes of the Clans.


    However, Clan Master Haiyun managed to hire him, meaning that he definitely paid a huge price.


    In front of the Central Hall, the appearance of the Seventh Core Elder and Xiang Yunzi made the atmosphere tense up.


    However, compared to the Seventh Core Elder who was full of enmity, Xiang Yunzi appeared much more peaceful.


    Xiang Yunzi had a smile on his face and spoke, ¡°Nephew Zhao Feng, your Master Si Tumo knows me well. Since you¡¯ve come back to the Broken Moon Clan with honesty and truthfulness, I hope that we can solve this problem without violence.¡±


    Zhao Feng acted as if he didn¡¯t hear anything as he proceeded forward.


    He only had one target, and that was Clan Master Haiyun.


    ¡°Brat, even if you¡¯re not planning to accept this, I¡¯ll make you accept it.¡±


    A scarlet-purple light glowed from the Seventh Core Elder as his aura turned fiery hot.


    The upper echelons of the Broken Moon Clan shook.


    The thirty-six Core Elders of the Iron Dragon Alliance were all at the True Mystic Rank, and the top ten had battle power only below those at the True Lord Rank.


    This scarlet-purple male was ranked seventh and was a rare Body Cultivator who relied on his physical body to crush others at the True Mystic Rank.


    Even those at the True Lord Rank would be threatened in close combat.


    Peng!


    Just as the scarlet-purple male was charging toward Zhao Feng in a wave of flames.


    ¡°Soaring Sky Cloud Slashing Sword!¡±


    Xiang Yunzi¡¯s eyes flashed as his sword was drawn. A brilliant arc of light intertwined with lightning, mist, wind, and clouds swept toward Zhao Feng.


    At this point in time, the two True Mystic Rank experts made their moves.


    However, right as the scarlet-purple male and Xiang Yunzi moved, they felt an uneasiness come from their soul.


    In the air, on top of a flying beast.


    ¡°Scarlet Demon Moon Eye!¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s eyes turned scarlet-black and two blood-colored moons appeared.


    Bam Bam!


    Two flashes of a bloody moon, filled with cold killing intent, hit the scarlet-purple male and Xiang Yunzi.


    Wah Wah!


    Xiang Yunzi and the scarlet-purple male both shook as they spat out a mouthful of blood.


    The two raised their heads in shock, looking at the cold youth in black whom they had previously ignored.


    The once most terrifying bloodline of the Thirteen Countries showed its power after two years.


    ¡°What a fearful eye bloodline technique.¡±


    ¡°In just one glance, two True Mystic Rank experts were injured. Lin Tong is a hundred times stronger than before.¡±


    Discussion broke out across the place, especially for those who had once participated in the Thirteen Clans Alliance.


    Bei Moi, who was standing in the back, couldn¡¯t calm down, ¡°This Lin Tong has indeed entered the Scarlet Moon Inheritance. He¡¯s probably unparalleled under the True Lord Rank.¡±


    It was hard to imagine how such a terrifying genius was only a slave and subordinate of Zhao Feng.

 462 Bait 1

    Broken Moon Clan, in front of the Central Hall Division.


    The disciples on the hill held their breath in shock.


    At this instant in time, Lin Tong, who was in the sky, was the main focus.


    Clan Master Haiyun, the Regulations Elder, and others of the upper echelons, as well as the two True Mystic Rank reinforcements, were filled with wariness and fear.


    These two True Mystic Rank cultivators were injured in just one glance. One couldn¡¯t describe how terrifying this genius was.


    One had to know, Xiang Yunzi was a roaming cultivator that travelled the Thirteen Countries, and the number of those who could be compared to him could be counted on one hand.


    The Seventh Core Elder was also extremely powerful and could defeat most other True Mystic Ranks with just his body. Most people under the True Lord Rank weren¡¯t his match.


    These two couldn¡¯t block a single glance from Lin Tong.


    ¡°Lin Tong! How dare you betray the Alliance and join this brat!¡±


    The Seventh Core Elder roared in anger as he wiped the blood dripping from his mouth.


    Lin Tong, Bei Moi, and the Seventh Core Elder all belonged to the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    Of course, the status of Lin Tong and the Seventh Core Elder was much higher.


    Facing the Seventh Core Elder¡¯s questioning, Lin Tong remained silent. However, when he turned toward the blue-haired youth below, helplessness seemed to appear in his eyes.


    These details obviously didn¡¯t escape the experts present.


    ¡°Even someone as scary as Lin Tong is willing to be Zhao Feng¡¯s subordinate?¡±


    Back at the Thirteen Clans Alliance Banquet, Zhao Feng and Lin Tong were on opposite ends since they both possessed an eye bloodline.


    The Ancient Shrine that Lin Tong belonged to was a small chapter of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion that was left behind in the Thirteen Countries. Thus, the Ancient Shrine betrayed the Thirteen Clans the second the battle started at the Dragon Concealing Lake.


    Lin Tong was definitely a core member of the Iron Dragon Alliance and he was even utilized by the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to imagine that Lin Tong was most likely being ¡°threatened¡± right now.


    Furthermore, Lin Tong didn¡¯t explain anything to the Seventh Core Elder.


    ¡°Hehe, this one is only here to apologize to Clan Master Haiyun. It¡¯s best that no outsiders interfere.¡±


    A light laugh came from the blue-haired youth. The hearts of Clan Master Haiyun and company shook.


    It was hard to imagine how strong Zhao Feng would be if someone as terrifying as Lin Tong was threatened by him.


    Unknowingly, the youth in front of them became respected.


    No one dared to make any rash moves.


    The Seventh Core Elder and Xiang Yunzi were both filled with wariness. They couldn¡¯t see through him.


    If a mere slave of Zhao Feng was enough to defeat them instantly, it was unimaginable how strong Zhao Feng would be.


    Ta! Ta!


    The atmosphere was silent apart from the casual footsteps of the blue-haired youth.


    Finally, at a certain moment.


    ¡°He¡¯s close¡­. That brat¡¯s almost entered the range of the array.¡±


    ¡°Clan Master Haiyun! The Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array is ready.¡±


    The heartbeats of the Broken Moon Clan upper echelons sped up.


    The Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array was their final move.


    ¡°This Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array is an ancient array that cost a countless amount of materials and money to build. Furthermore, eight True Spirit Realms and sixty-four elites of the Sixth and Seventh Sky are needed to start this array¡­.¡±


    Eight experts of the True Spirit Realm were already prepared in front of the Central Hall.


    Bei Moi was one of these eight True Spirit Realms.


    ¡°The array is complete!¡±


    ¡°Haha! That brat¡¯s entered the range of the array!¡±


    ¡°If he moves a bit closer and enters the center of the array, he won¡¯t be able to escape unharmed even if he was a True Lord Rank.¡±


    The reinforcements and the elites of the Broken Moon Clan were overjoyed.


    They had complete confidence in their Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array!


    ¡°Zhao Feng, don¡¯t!¡±


    Below the hill, Old Guan and Old Zhang shouted out. Old Zhang participated in the construction of this Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array so he knew the power of this array.


    Unfortunately, their warning came too late.


    Zhao Feng had already stepped into the center of the Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array.


    This was the perfect moment to start the array, and everyone in the Broken Moon Clan was excited.


    ¡°Hehe, Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array? I heard Old Zhang talk about this a bit when I was learning in the Clan Mission Division.¡±


    A light laughter came from the blue-haired youth standing in the center of the array.


    What!?


    Everyone¡¯s heart jumped as they looked toward Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    Clan Master Haiyun suddenly felt a strong surge of uneasiness.


    This youth in front of them obviously knew about arrays. Not only did he know about the existence of the Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array, he entered it with a smile.


    At this moment, the experts and the reinforcements of the Broken Moon Clan felt a coldness spread across their bodies.


    This youth almost made them crumble.


    Xiang Yunzi was filled with regret.


    As he was invited by Clan Master Haiyun, he knew the plan to face Zhao Feng and knew how strong this array was.


    However, reality exceeded his expectations.


    All of this was because of this unfathomable blue-haired youth.


    Back then, Zhao Feng managed to escape from this area with the title of ¡°number one genius of the Thirteen Countries.¡±


    Now that he was back, no one knew his true strength.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be fooled by this brat. We can kill him if we work together!¡±


    The Regulations Elder shouted.


    ¡°Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array, open!¡±


    Eight experts at the True Spirit Realm circulated their Qi of True Spirit while the sixty-four elites of the Ascended Realm also put in their energy.


    Instantly.


    Weng~


    Eight bright lights, each dozens-of-yards long, locked down the area Zhao Feng was in like eight chains.


    ¡°Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array! So strong!¡±


    ¡°Each of the eight dragon-shaped chains are probably as powerful as a peak True Mystic Rank¡­.¡±


    The middle and upper echelons of the Broken Moon Clan were trembling with excitement.


    Many of them would normally never see such a magnificent and powerful array in their lives.


    Qiu! Qiu! Qiu!


    Zhao Feng remained unmoving as the eight dragon-shaped chains instantly locked him in like a cage.


    Bam!


    Two of the chains even wrapped around Zhao Feng¡¯s legs.


    ¡°Unfortunately, I would only be threatened if it was eight True Mystic Ranks working together.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed somewhat regretfully.


    His body released a transparent barrier of lightning and wind that pushed the two dragon-shaped chains aside.


    Ding Ding Ding~~~~


    Sparks flew everywhere as the eight dragon-shaped chains were flung away.


    ¡°The Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array needs ¡®Eight Dragons to be One,¡¯ but you aren¡¯t in sync with each other and haven¡¯t practiced enough, so you can only use sixty-to-seventy percent of its maximum power¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head.


    He slowly approached Clan Master Haiyun, who was in the center of the array.


    ¡°Junior! Don¡¯t overestimate yourself~~~~!¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s voice was already starting to tremble.


    No one thought that Zhao Feng would be so strong that he could casually stroll inside the Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array.


    ¡°Clan Master Haiyun, this one is only here to apologize. Why are you so nervous?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled with his hands behind his back. It seemed as if he really didn¡¯t want Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s life.


    ¡°Looks like the new generation is terrifying indeed¡­.¡±


    An ancient voice suddenly sounded from the side of the Central Hall Division.


    This voice had a magical power that allowed everyone to hear it clearly even though it was in a deep and low tone.


    ¡°This voice¡­¡±


    Lin Tong and Bei Moi¡¯s expression both changed dramatically, while Clan Master Haiyun, the Seventh Core Elder, and company shook.


    At this moment in time, the air seemed to freeze except for the ancient voice.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Three black-hooded figures in the corner of the Central Hall Division threw off their robes and revealed their original appearances.


    Three terrifying auras spread across the Central Hall Division.


    Two males and one female seemed like Kings of Hell standing in front of the Hall.


    Shua!


    One of them was a male in mystic robes who held a metal fan. His skin and clothes seemed to be metallic and they radiated a cold aura.


    Sheww!


    A streak of silver and gold flashed in the air!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s footsteps stopped.


    Behind him, the mystic-robed man¡¯s fan was only a foot away from Zhao Feng¡¯s back.


    The sharpness of this fan seemed able to cut Zhao Feng in half within a flash.


    ¡°True Lord Tiexiao!¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun and the Elders of the Broken Moon Clan couldn¡¯t help exclaiming when they saw this man appear.


    True Lord Tiexiao!


    This name was like a nightmare imprinted in the minds of the Thirteen Clans.


    ¡°Greetings to the three Palace Lords!¡±


    The Seventh Core Elder revealed a look of overfilled joy.


    ¡°You Long, Tiexiao, Bi Ji. Three Palace Lords¡­ how¡­ how is this possible!!?¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s face was filled with shock.


    Before he left, the upper echelons of the alliance told him that three experts would support the Broken Moon Clan against Zhao Feng.


    However, these three experts were the three Palace Lords of the Iron Dragon Alliance?


    ¡°Greetings, Palace Lords You Long, Tiexiao, and Bi Ji.¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s forehead started to sweat coldly and he became uneasy.


    Shua! Shua!


    Along with True Lord Tiexiao, the other male and female formed a triangle that surrounded Zhao Feng.


    The person with the strongest aura was Palace Lord You Long. He had long black hair and an actual black horn on his head. He was covered in a pure-black armor that radiated an old and mysterious aura.


    His existence seemed to be a nightmare from hell.


    On the left was Palace Lord Bi Ji. She wore an elegant dress and had the face of an angel but the body of a demon. Her aura was extremely enchanting, and every smile and action of hers seemed able to suck out one¡¯s soul.


    ¡°Bei Moi, good job! Zhao Feng indeed returned to the Broken Moon Clan. Clan Master Haiyun, without your help, we wouldn¡¯t be able to ambush this brat so easily.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s hair blew in the wind as his voice boomed.


    Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment, and no one from the Broken Moon Clan dared to even breathe.


    Three of the four major figures of the Iron Dragon Alliance appeared in the tiny Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°Three Palace Lords¡­. Looks like I was only bait.¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun let out a breath, but he smiled bitterly at the same time.

 463 Bait 2

    ¡°¡­looks like I was only bait.¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun calmed down. He was certain that he didn¡¯t need to worry about his safety anymore.


    Any one of the Iron Dragon Alliance Palace Lords were enough to tear the clouds.


    Furthermore, the combination of three Palace Lords was enough to change the skies of the Cloud area.


    However, while Clan Master Haiyun was happy, his heart was filled more with bitterness.


    No matter how much planning he did, he was just some small bait.


    Yet, Clan Master Haiyun was also curious.


    Three Palace Lords came together to face a junior?


    Wasn¡¯t this exaggerating the problem?


    At this moment in time, the entire Sky Moon Mountain was dead silent.


    The mental energy auras of three True Lord Ranks made the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi freeze, and everyone trembled uneasily.


    From the Clan Master to the Elders to the disciples of the Broken Moon Clan, they were all stunned and uneasy.


    No one would have thought that the confrontation between Zhao Feng and Clan Master Haiyun would result in such a situation.


    However, a cloud of curiosity covered the heads of those from the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°What¡¯s so special about Zhao Feng that three Palace Lords of the Iron Dragon Alliance would come together and ambush him?¡±


    The entire Broken Moon Clan was in shock.


    Sou Sou Sou~~~~


    At the same time, the sound of flying came from outside the Broken Moon Clan.


    More than ten powerful auras headed toward the Broken Moon Clan, and each of these auras were enough to shake the hearts of the upper echelon of the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°True Mystic Rank! All of these auras are at the second Heaven of the True Spirit Realm!¡±


    ¡°One¡­ two¡­ three¡­¡±


    ¡°My lord! The Iron Dragon Alliance sent out another ten Core Elders?¡±


    The Broken Moon Clan panicked.


    Normally, any single one of these Core Elders would be enough to shake the Broken Moon Clan, and today, ten had come.


    Of course, the three Palace Lords were the ones that were most respected.


    ¡°The Iron Dragon Alliance sent out so many forces just to kill Zhao Feng?¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t calm down.


    One or two Core Elders were enough to destroy the entire Broken Moon Clan.


    Clan Master Haiyun and the upper echelons could subtly tell that this was unusual.


    After this shock, everyone¡¯s gaze returned to the origin of all this ¨C Zhao Feng.


    This stunning scene was all because of this one youth.


    Mysterious light surrounded this youth that was once the number one genius of the Thirteen Countries.


    The weird thing was that, although the three Palace Lords had Zhao Feng surrounded, none of them had a casual expression.


    Amongst them, True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s sharp fan was only a foot away from Zhao Feng¡¯s back. In everyone else¡¯s eyes, all True Lord Tiexiao needed to do was shake his hand and he could cut Zhao Feng in two.


    However, True Lord Tiexiao, You Long, and Bi Ji didn¡¯t do anything.


    Zhao Feng, who was in the Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array and surrounded by three Palace Lords, had his hands behind his back and seemed extremely relaxed.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your performance in the Sacred True Dragon was stunning. You¡¯re even one of the Overwhelming Prodigies. Even I am blinded by your talent and resilience.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao slowly spoke.


    Hearing this, everyone broke out into discussion.


    ¡°Sacred True Dragon Gathering? The legendary Sacred True Dragon Gathering?¡±


    ¡°From True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s tone, did Zhao Feng achieve a good result?¡±


    For the Broken Moon Clan, and even the Thirteen Countries, the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was just a legend.


    The other two Palace Lords both locked tightly onto Zhao Feng without any signs of relaxing.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re young, but you¡¯ve already obtained such strength and even severely injured the Blood Corpse Palace Lord earlier. One must know that, apart from me, no one else among the four Palace Lords can beat him. I believe that if the Division Leader knew, he would utilize you wisely.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s deep voice resounded across the Central Hall.


    Of the four Palace Lords, Palace Lord You Long had the highest status and he was the strongest.


    Palace Lord You Long had a black horn on his head and his bloodline aura was enough to make even Zhao Feng¡¯s blood gently tremble.


    Those without bloodlines would panic just by coming close to Palace Lord You Long, like a sheep facing a wolf. It was the fear of facing the existence of a higher life form.


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s words shocked the upper echelons of the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡­ defeated a Palace Lord?¡±


    ¡°Even the leader of the four Palace Lords has invited him to join their side.¡±


    Shock extended across Clan Master Haiyun and the Regulations Elders¡¯ faces.


    They couldn¡¯t help but sweat coldly as they thought about how they planned to face such a difficult opponent. Everyone¡¯s gaze focused on Zhao Feng, including Bei Moi and Lin Tong, who was in the air.


    ¡°If the three Palace Lords can finish off Zhao Feng, my Dark Heart Seed will also be solved.¡±


    Lin Tong let out a breath.


    Friend and foe alike awaited the blue-haired youth¡¯s response.


    However, Zhao Feng smiled. His gaze turned from Clan Master Haiyun to Bei Moi before slowly speaking.


    ¡°Brother Bei Moi, good job. The experts of the Iron Dragon Alliance have indeed come to the Broken Moon Clan. Clan Master Haiyun, thank you for your teamwork. Without your help, my plan wouldn¡¯t have succeeded so easily.¡±


    A faint laugh sounded across the hill.


    The instant this was said.


    ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡±


    Bei Moi opened his mouth and seemed as if he had been choked.


    ¡°Teamwork? When did I¡­?¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s expression suddenly froze.


    Hu~


    The only sound remaining was the wind.


    True Lord Tiexiao and Palace Lord Bi Ji were puzzled.


    ¡°What¡­!!?¡±


    Palace Lord You Long exclaimed as his expression dimmed.


    The people present felt something was off, but thinking about it carefully, many understood.


    Zhao Feng copied, almost word-for-word, Palace Lord You Long¡¯s words, ¡°Bei Moi, good job! Zhao Feng indeed returned to the Broken Moon Clan. Clan Master Haiyun, without your help, we wouldn¡¯t be able to ambush this brat so easily.¡±


    The same sentence structure was returned after some slight modifications.


    Bei Moi and Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s expressions were very colorful right now.


    True Lord Tiexiao and Palace Lord Bi Ji glanced at the two suspiciously, but they were also shocked.


    ¡°Ri-¡­ ridiculous!¡±


    How could Clan Master Haiyun not understand the truth?


    A strong sense of humiliation appeared in his heart.


    ¡°This Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s luck is pretty shit. To be used as bait by both Zhao Feng and the Iron Dragon Alliance.¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s face was filled with surprise.


    Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t returned to the Broken Moon Clan to kill Clan Master Haiyun.


    At least, killing Clan Master Haiyun wasn¡¯t the main goal.


    Clan Master Haiyun was ¡°bait¡± that the Iron Dragon Alliance knew about. Zhao Feng had a high chance of returning to kill him.


    Zhao Feng was more than willing to use this chance to lure out the experts of the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    Zhao Feng let the Blood Corpse Palace Lord escape because he could get more out of it.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s more than enough to lure out three Palace Lords and ten Core Elders.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s smile was warm.


    You Long, Tiexiao, and Bi Ji¡¯s hearts all surged with anger.


    This was the first time they met someone so arrogant.


    ¡°Junior, don¡¯t get too cocky. You really think you can fight three True Lord Ranks by yourself?¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao roared and waved his metal fan, which sent out a wave of cold light toward Zhao Feng.


    Ding Peng Peng~~~~~


    A deep roar appeared accompanied by a flash of dark-grey.


    Ding!


    Sparks flew everywhere and True Lord Tiexiao almost lost control of his fan.


    Deng Deng Deng!


    True Lord Tiexiao was pushed back more than ten yards.


    ¡°That¡­ that¡¯s¡­!!¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao glanced at the grey smoke next to Zhao Feng.


    We~ Wu~


    Two large dark-silver ghost corpses were revealed from within the grey smoke, releasing an air of death.


    Just the corpse-air from the two dark-silver ghost corpses almost killed some nearby disciples.


    ¡°True¡­ True Lord Rank!¡±


    ¡°How could he have two True Lord Rank ghost corpses!?¡±


    The other two Palace Lords were stunned.


    True Lord Tiexiao was tricked. The two True Lord Rank ghost corpses almost made him vomit blood and lose control of his weapon.


    In terms of cultivation, True Lord Tiexiao was also at the early stage True Lord Rank.


    The two dark-silver ghost corpses were the same, but they had a much bigger advantage in terms of physical attributes.


    Shua Shua!


    The two True Lord Rank dark-silver ghost corpses flashed around Zhao Feng.


    Bam Bam Bam~~~~


    In the blink of an eye, the Eight Dragon Slaughterer Demon Array around Zhao Feng crumbled.


    The souls of Clan Master Haiyun and company almost flew away after facing this terrifying aura.


    No one would have thought that Zhao Feng would have such a hidden card, summoning two True Lord Rank ghost corpses at once.


    This amount of power was enough to toy with the Broken Moon Clan.


    No, there wouldn¡¯t even be a problem destroying all Thirteen Clans.


    ¡°Zhao Feng actually kept such a card hidden¡­.¡±


    Bei Moi and Lin Tong seemed to be shocked too much. They were dazed as they watched the two True Lord Rank ghost corpses protect Zhao Feng.


    The three Palace Lords forgot to attack.


    True Lord Tiexiao, who had once defeated the Thirteen Clans, was pushed back by the two ghost corpses and almost injured.


    You Long and Bi Ji couldn¡¯t accept this reality right away.


    Two True Lord Rank ghost corpses were enough to turn the tide.


    This meant that Zhao Feng and the two True Lord Rank ghost corpses were comparable to three True Lord Ranks, on par with the three Palace Lords.


    However, if Zhao Feng had the courage to come here, how could he not have other moves up his sleeve?


    At this moment in time, everyone from the Broken Moon Clan looked toward the blue-haired youth with wariness and respect.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to close the net. As the Broken Moon Clan was once my clan, I¡¯ll end this quickly¡­.¡±

 464 Lightning Fas

    Sky Moon Mountain, Central Hall.


    Zhao Feng was surrounded by several layers. First were the three Palace Lords, then the eight True Spirit Realms, then the sixty-four elites.


    Ten Core Elders were also watching intently from the edges of the mountain.


    The Broken Moon Clan seemed like it was under a sky-covering net, and Zhao Feng¡¯s figure seemed somewhat lonely.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯ve surprised me with your two True Lord Rank ghost corpses. No wonder you had the courage to return and fight against the Iron Dragon Alliance.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long soon recovered after a moment of shock.


    At the same time, the three Palace Lords quickly exchanged glances.


    What seemed easy was actually quite difficult.


    The combination of the two dark-silver ghost corpses and Zhao Feng was comparable to three True Lord Ranks.


    This meant that the Iron Dragon Alliance didn¡¯t have much of an advantage. If Zhao Feng focused on running, the chances of killing him weren¡¯t very high.


    Normally, several True Lord Ranks were needed to have a good chance of killing another True Lord Rank.


    This meant that the price and difficulty of slaying three True Lord Ranks would greatly increase.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I admit that I¡¯ve underestimated you. You¡¯re very strong and even used me as bait. If you really wanted to kill me, I would probably be dead already.¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s eyes flashed as he stood in the center of the array.


    Zhao Feng smiled but didn¡¯t speak.


    Killing Clan Master Haiyun posed no difficulty for him. The Iron Dragon Alliance was the real big fish.


    It was laughable. A Clan Master famed for his calculations had been used as bait by both Zhao Feng and the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    This was totally humiliating for him.


    In the clash of these two sides, Clan Master Haiyun was just a small figure that could be crushed with one hand.


    Zhao Feng purposely did this so that Clan Master Haiyun could experience the feeling of being an ¡°ant¡± and what it¡¯s like to be toyed with.


    ¡°Hehehe¡­ Zhao Feng, your first Master Lord Guanjun and First Elder, they were both defeated by me.¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s voice was extremely weird.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pupils slightly contracted. What was Clan Master Haiyun doing?


    However, what Clan Master Haiyun said was true.


    Clan Master Haiyun used intelligence on top of strength to reach his current position.


    Back then, Master Haiyun stepped on Lord Guanjun¡¯s disciples and rose to become an Elder.


    After that, he grasped the chance to join the Iron Dragon Alliance and killed the original Clan Master to gain his current position.


    Ever since Master Haiyun became the Clan Master, the Broken Moon Clan was growing day by day and was now among the top five of the Thirteen Clans.


    Even someone as powerful as First Elder was defeated by Master Haiyun.


    One had to admit that Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s methods exceeded others.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Both my masters lost to you, but everything changes with me.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t argue.


    Losing meant losing and winning meant winning.


    No matter what methods he used, Master Haiyun was the victor over the past dozen years. Even Zhao Feng struggled to survive when he first entered the Broken Moon Clan because of Master Haiyun¡¯s influence.


    ¡°Bring him up!¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s eyes became cold as he waved his hand.


    Shua!


    Three figures suddenly appeared on a faraway hill.


    On the left was a gold-robed middle-aged man and on the right was a white-faced youth.


    These two were holding a long-white-haired old man.


    ¡°First Elder!¡±


    Exclamations sounded across the Broken Moon Clan.


    Everyone¡¯s gaze turned toward the long-white-haired old man.


    This long-white-haired old man was the First Elder of the Broken Moon Clan.


    The gold-robed middle-aged man and the white-faced youth were Elder Jiang and Sun Yuanhao, respectively.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, back then, you kicked me out of the Floating Crest Trial and made me miss my fortune. Today, I¡¯ll let you experience what being threatened feels like.¡±


    A deadly look flashed past Sun Yuanhao¡¯s white face.


    He had a Changeable Body and he was a genius taken in as Elder Jiang¡¯s disciple.


    However, he was kicked out of the Floating Crest Trial by Zhao Feng in the first stage.


    Although he was very talented, he was still a bit behind Zhao Feng, Bei Moi, and company.


    ¡°Hehehe¡­ Zhao Feng, I¡¯m certain you¡¯re someone who repays others, just like your previous two Masters.¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s face was filled with smugness.


    Good job!


    The eyes of the three Palace Lords lit up.


    If they threatened Zhao Feng¡¯s Master, although they might not be able to change the tide entirely, it could still affect him.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I don¡¯t want your life. All you need to do is cut off one arm or destroy one True Lord Rank ghost corpse to save your Master¡¯s life.¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s face was venomous.


    He didn¡¯t ask Zhao Feng to commit suicide in exchange for First Elder¡¯s life, as this was unrealistic and Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t retarded. If he died, then First Elder would still die anyway.


    Therefore, Clan Master Haiyun only asked Zhao Feng to cut off one arm or destroy a True Lord Rank ghost corpse.


    Although this didn¡¯t mean that Zhao Feng would die, it would greatly reduce his battle power.


    ¡°Smart!¡±


    The three Palace Lords couldn¡¯t help but look at Clan Master Haiyun in a new light.


    However, would Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s threat succeed?


    The chance of success was probably quite high since Clan Master Haiyun didn¡¯t ask for Zhao Feng¡¯s life.


    At this point in time, the entire Broken Moon Clan was dead-silent as they waited for the blue-haired youth¡¯s response.


    ¡°Hehe, Master Haiyun, this is quite entertaining.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised at all, laughing lightly instead.


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s heart jumped. Was Zhao Feng so cold and emotionless that he didn¡¯t care about First Elder¡¯s death?


    ¡°Unfortunately, you were one step too slow. The result was decided the second I entered the Broken Moon Clan.¡±


    The mockery on Zhao Feng¡¯s face became more pronounced.


    The result was decided?


    The hearts of Clan Master Haiyun, the three Palace Lords, and the entire Broken Moon Clan shook.


    ¡°Not good! Stop his eye bloodline!¡±


    ¡°Someone get to First Elder~~~!¡±


    The three Palace Lords seemed to remember something and roared in panic.


    Plop Plop!


    On the hill, Elder Jiang and Sun Yuanhao both spat out blood and fell to the ground.


    All Zhao Feng did was casually look toward the two with his left eye.


    Sou Sou Sou~~~~


    After receiving orders, the ten Core Elders quickly charged toward the First Elder.


    As long as they got to First Elder, they could at least pose some trouble to Zhao Feng.


    At the same instant, the three Palace Lords roared and moved to stop Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Eye of Illusion ¨C Illusion City Maze!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye started to spin and create a mysterious whirlpool that attracted everything.


    Shua!


    Everyone¡¯s consciousness swayed. The Central Hall disappeared and was replaced by an ancient city.


    In this moment, everyone in the Central Hall were like headless chickens trying to find the exit in this city.


    Illusion Maze City. Based on the Eye of Illusion, it could form a wide-ranging mental energy technique that would create an Illusion City Maze, stalling everyone within its range.


    Zhao Feng used this skill back at the Purple Saint Ruins.


    That time, he had the Wood Spirit Soul Essence and created a ¡°sample¡± of the Illusion City Maze.


    Now, Zhao Feng could immediately copy and paste the illusion technique and didn¡¯t need to think to construct it anymore.


    The amount of energy needed to perform the Illusion City Maze had decreased by more than half and could easily be used even without the help of the Wood Spirit Soul Essence.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Why are the people in the Central Hall just walking back and forth?¡±


    The members of the Broken Moon Clan at the edges didn¡¯t understand.


    The Illusion City Maze enveloped the entire Central Hall. Only the three Palace Lords were struggling, while the others all had a dazed expression.


    A while later.


    Shua!


    The first to recover was Palace Lord You Long. After all, his cultivation was the highest and had reached the late-stage True Lord Rank.


    The second was Palace Lord Bi Ji. Although her battle power wasn¡¯t very strong, she specialized in mental energy skills.


    Last was True Lord Tiexiao.


    ¡°Where did Zhao Feng go?¡±


    The three Palace Lords were extremely surprised.


    Zhao Feng disappeared.


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯m here.¡±


    A blue-haired youth was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with First Elder.


    The two looked at each other and smiled.


    Ridiculous!


    The three Palace Lords felt a raging fire burn in their hearts. They felt as if they got played by Zhao Feng.


    He only created the Illusion City Maze to run.


    ¡°Hmm? The two True Lord Rank ghost corpses haven¡¯t moved.¡±


    Palace Lord Bi Ji¡¯s eyes lit up.


    The two True Lord Rank ghost corpses were close to her and her strength would increase dramatically if she could control the two ghost corpses.


    ¡°I¡¯ll kill you first.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye turned into the Eye of Ice and seemed to create a bottomless abyss.


    Limitless cold spread across Palace Lord Bi Ji¡¯s body.


    Not good!


    Palace Lord Bi Ji¡¯s thoughts froze and her actions slowed down.


    Bam Bam Shh!


    The two dark-silver ghost corpses were nearby and sliced through Palace Lord Bi Ji¡¯s skin.


    The terrifying power that could kill anyone under the Origin Core Realm just by drawing blood took Palace Lord Bi Ji to a place from which she couldn¡¯t return.


    Plop!


    Before the other two Palace Lords could react, Palace Lord Bi Ji¡¯s beautiful figure was ripped into pieces amidst a pool of blood.


    She was dead.


    Sou Sou!


    Immediately following that, the two dark-silver ghost corpses charged toward Palace Lord You Long.


    Palace Lord You Long got goosebumps as he guessed that he was next. However, he had still underestimated Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was fighting on several fronts and wanted to finish this battle as quickly as possible.


    Eye of Illusion!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline started to circulate once more.


    ¡°Plop!¡±


    On the other side, Palace Lord Tiexiao started to sweat coldly as he fell onto the ground, exhausted.

 465 Palace Lord You Long

    In the Central Hall, life and death were decided with one thought.


    Everything came too fast ¨C so fast in fact, the entire Broken Moon Clan couldn¡¯t react.


    A couple breaths later, Palace Lord Bi Ji was dead.


    True Lord Tiexiao lost his battle power and lay exhausted on the ground, disbelief written all over his face.


    Only a few people, such as the eight True Spirit Realms and Lin Tong, saw the entire process.


    Everyone had gaping mouths. The shock they experienced was so big that the experts seemed like they lost their souls.


    The Iron Dragon Alliance cultivators felt their hearts go cold.


    In the blink of an eye, one of the three Palace Lords was killed, while another was defeated.


    Palace Lord Bi Ji¡¯s death was terrible. She had no ability to fight back at all.


    True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s defeat was even worse. Two years ago, True Lord Tiexiao had defeated the Thirteen Clans and forced the Elders to sign a blood contract with him.


    It could be said that his strength had been engraved in the hearts of the Thirteen Clans.


    However, in front of Zhao Feng¡¯s lightning-quick attacks, True Lord Tiexiao didn¡¯t have the chance to do anything at all.


    ¡°I lost¡­. How is this possible?¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao couldn¡¯t believe what was happening. He was even suspicious that he was in a dream.


    How could someone like him, who stood at the top of the Cloud area, be defeated so easily?


    It wasn¡¯t just him. Many others present, such as Clan Master Haiyun, the Regulations Elder, and Lin Tong also felt as if this was a dream.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t real!¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s face became twisted as he dug his nails into his skin, forcing himself back to ¡°reality.¡±


    On top of the hill.


    ¡°Is¡­ is this all real?¡±


    First Elder felt surreal. With trembling fingers, he reached out toward his disciple, but he didn¡¯t dare to actually touch him, fearing that all of this would shatter.


    Zhao Feng had a warm smile as he stood next to First Elder and controlled the situation.


    ¡°A clash between True Lord Ranks will destroy the Broken Moon Clan. This is the simplest solution.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head with his hands behind his back.


    He didn¡¯t participate anymore and had already retreated when the Illusion City Maze was created.


    Through his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng had instantly finished off two Palace Lords.


    At this instant, the two dark-silver ghost corpses leapt toward the last Palace Lord ¨C You Long. Victory was in sight.


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s bones went cold. The death and injury of the other two Palace Lords caught him off guard.


    He didn¡¯t think that the two dark-silver ghost corpses¡¯ poison would be so deadly that even those at the True Lord Rank couldn¡¯t resist it.


    It was because of this that Palace Lord Bi Ji was killed instantly.


    As for True Lord Tiexiao, his early-stage True Lord Rank mental energy wasn¡¯t enough to resist Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline.


    One had to know, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level was slightly stronger than most normal late-stage True Lord Ranks and his soul even surpassed peak True Lord Ranks.


    ¡°Retreat quickly and take away Palace Lord Tiexiao.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long took a deep breath as the black scales on his body started to move.


    Ding Ding Peng~~~~~


    The attacks from the two dark-silver ghost corpses landed on Palace Lord You Long, creating sparks. However, they weren¡¯t able to break through his defense.


    One had to know, the two claws of the corpses had been strengthened by Zhao Feng and were extremely sharp.


    Furthermore, after leaving the Purple Saint Ruins, the two dark-silver ghost corpses were upgraded while staying in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    ¡°Palace Lord, we¡¯re coming.¡±


    Several Core Elders hurried over. Their goal was to take away True Lord Tiexiao while Palace Lord You Long covered them.


    In the air, Lin Tong was slightly hesitant, not knowing whether to help Zhao Feng or the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    His heart suddenly shook as he glanced toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had a smile on his face. Although he didn¡¯t do anything, he was still watching over everything.


    He didn¡¯t forget about Lin Tong.


    ¡°Scarlet Demon Moon Eye!¡±


    Lin Tong gritted his teeth as he circulated his eye bloodline to stop some of the Core Elders.


    Although the Iron Dragon Alliance and Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion were extremely powerful and blotted out the skies, Zhao Feng was the one right in front of him and could kill him with one thought.


    Miao miao!


    A silver-grey cat flashed into the Central Hall.


    Shu~~~~~


    An agile silver-striped blood whip wrapped around the exhausted True Lord Tiexiao.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t Zhao Feng killing me?¡±


    Although True Lord Tiexiao had been captured, he didn¡¯t panic.


    In terms of strength, True Lord Tiexiao was close to Palace Lord Bi Ji.


    If Zhao Feng, the little thieving cat, the dark-silver ghost corpses, or Lin Tong wanted to kill him, he could do nothing. However, Zhao Feng obviously didn¡¯t have any plans to kill him immediately.


    At this moment in time, everything was within Zhao Feng¡¯s control.


    Palace Lord You Long was being furiously attacked by the two dark-silver ghost corpses, and Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline was putting pressure on him.


    The little thieving cat captured True Lord Tiexiao while Lin Tong was responsible for killing the Core Elders.


    The force of the three Palace Lords and ten Core Elders had been shattered.


    The entire Broken Moon Clan witnessed this sudden change and were like wooden chickens that couldn¡¯t react.


    ¡°What¡­? Three of the four major figures of the Iron Dragon Alliance couldn¡¯t defeat him?¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s face was filled with shock.


    The complete flip of the situation had exceeded his imagination.


    ¡°As expected, all of this was just bait by Zhao Feng. His true aim was to kill the upper echelons of the Iron Dragon Alliance.¡±


    Bei Moi suppressed the waves in his heart as he analyzed the situation.


    From the beginning, both he and Clan Master Haiyun were just side characters.


    Everything up to now had lost its meaning.


    There was the occasional Core Elder that tried to rescue True Lord Tiexiao in the Central Hall.


    Phewww!


    A transparent light flashed by and one of the top-three-ranking Core Elders fell to the ground with a gash in his throat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat returned onto True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s shoulder and put the dark transparent dagger away.


    With a ¡°pah,¡± the little thieving cat dazed True Lord Tiexiao with a slap.


    Of the ten Core Elders, at least four or five had been killed by Lin Tong and the little thieving cat.


    The remaining Core Elders tried to escape or leave with Palace Lord You Long.


    ¡°This Palace Lord You Long¡¯s strength is extremely high. He¡¯s even more powerful than the Blood Corpse Protector. He¡¯s close to Ye Yanyu¡¯s level.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned the battlefield.


    Two dark-silver ghost corpses would most likely not be able to break through Palace Lord You Long¡¯s defense.


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s cultivation had reached the late-stage True Lord Rank and his bloodline increased his power and defense by a substantial amount.


    If it was a head-on clash, Zhao Feng and the two dark-silver ghost corpses would find it hard to defeat Palace Lord You Long.


    Zhao Feng even found that Palace Lord You Long was conserving a bit of strength in case he was attacked by an eye bloodline attack.


    ¡°Looks like it¡¯s going to be pretty difficult to kill this Palace Lord You Long.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t get close to him as he didn¡¯t have an advantage in close combat, especially when he hadn¡¯t even reached the True Lord Rank yet.


    On the other hand, the two dark-silver ghost corpses had tough bodies and were extremely formidable in defense.


    However, there were two other reasons.


    One was that the internal conflict within the Broken Moon Clan hadn¡¯t stabilized yet. The second was that an all-out True Lord Rank battle would destroy the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Fire Eye!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly turned azure.


    Whoosh!


    A half-transparent flame along with wind and lightning appeared on Palace Lord You Long¡¯s body and exploded in the physical and the mental energy dimension.


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s figure shook and he growled deeply as the flame, wind, and lightning burned his soul.


    ¡°Dark Demon Dragon Scale Body!¡±


    Palace Lord You Long roared and his voice sounded as if it came from Hell.


    In that instant, a dark scale merged with his black scaly armor, which caused his aura to surge like a demonic dragon appearing.


    Boom!


    Palace Lord You Long waved his arms and sent the two dark-silver ghost corpses flying. It was hard to imagine how strong he currently was.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pupils contracted. Ever since Palace Lord You Long circulated his bloodline, all aspects other than his offense were comparable to Ye Yanyu, or even higher.


    On top of that, Palace Lord You Long¡¯s black horn flashed with a dark-purple lightning, which had a strong resistance toward the lightning element of the Wind Lightning Fire Eye. It even had the ability to absorb a bit of it.


    ¡°What a powerful bloodline. You Long is indeed worthy of being the head of the Four Palace Lords.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became more solemn. Even if the Blood Corpse Protector, Bi Ji, and Tiexiao teamed up, they might not be as great of a threat as Palace Lord You Long.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s most powerful attack, the Wind Lightning Fire Eye, didn¡¯t manage to affect Palace Lord You Long much.


    ¡°After all, I haven¡¯t reached the True Lord Rank yet and have limited comprehension of the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet. The Wind Lightning True Fire in my body still has the potential to grow in strength.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts spun.


    This was the most troublesome opponent he had met after returning to the Cloud area.


    Of course, Zhao Feng still had the chance to kill You Long if things dragged on long enough. Since Palace Lord You Long increased his strength with the help of his bloodline, the amount of time it could last was limited.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng had two True Lord Rank ghost corpses that couldn¡¯t get tired and could last for a long time.


    However, there was still trouble in Broken Moon Clan, which meant that Zhao Feng had to continue no matter what.


    ¡°With my bloodline power I have an 80-90% chance of escaping. I even have a chance of injuring Zhao Feng.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s eyes were cold.


    He obviously knew that, in a head-on fight, Zhao Feng might not be able to block him.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng exchanged a momentary glance with Palace Lord You Long.


    A smile of mockery appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Eye of Ice Soul!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye turned into an ice-blue light that sent a bone-chillingly cold intent into Palace Lord You Long¡¯s soul.


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s thoughts and actions became abnormally slow.


    Shu Shu Bam Bam Bam~~~~~


    The attacks of the two dark-silver ghost corpses became more fierce.


    However, this was Palace Lord You Long, who had a powerful bloodline and body. If it were another True Lord Rank, they¡¯d find it hard to resist.


    ¡°This fucking eye bloodline can switch multiple times in battle.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s thought of killing Zhao Feng was instantly broken.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye turned azure. A piercing glint of azure light created a ¡°blade¡± in his eye.

 466 God Eye Mark

    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s entire body went cold. Before this sensation disappeared, he felt a piercing intent slash through his body.


    He instinctively glanced toward the youth on the hill.


    In that instant, the youth¡¯s hair turned azure and an azure glint flashed within his eye.


    Shu~~~~


    A screeching sound appeared in the air, and when Palace Lord You Long heard this noise, pain surged from his leg.


    Shua!


    A half-transparent azure blade had cut open the dark scales on the surface of Palace Lord You Long¡¯s body.


    ¡°What¡­? He broke through both my Dark Demon Dragon Scale Body and my Dark Striped Demonic Cloak?¡±


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    The two dark-silver ghost corpses had been attacking him for a long time without being able to break through his defense. From this, one could see how strong his defense was.


    In terms of defense, Palace Lord You Long was definitely one of strongest among those under the Origin Core Realm and was almost unbeatable.


    However, this sharp ¡°azure blade¡± was created with bloodline power and shot from the eye. It was extremely quick and surpassed normal physical attacks.


    Such an attack wasn¡¯t fully physical or fully soul-based, so it could ignore some defense. It was like how Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy illusion could ignore normal defenses. Although this ¡°azure blade¡± leaned more toward a physical attack and couldn¡¯t fully ignore defense, it could still do a lot of damage.


    ¡°Hmm? This eye technique is kind of similar to Tuoba Qi¡¯s Heavenly Piercing Eye.¡±


    Bei Moi, who was in the Central Hall, paused. After all, he participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and had seen Tuoba Qi¡¯s Heavenly Piercing Eye.


    However, the power from Zhao Feng¡¯s sharp ¡°azure blade¡± had exceeded Tuoba Qi¡¯s Heavenly Piercing Eye.


    Yet his opponent this time was also very powerful.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attack was purposely aimed toward Palace Lord You Long¡¯s weakest point in order to deal double damage.


    Furthermore, this move could ignore defense to a certain degree.


    However, even with all of this, Palace Lord You Long¡¯s defense was barely broken, leaving only a small gash on his leg.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t planned to use this method to kill or maim Palace Lord You Long.


    ¡°This is the chance!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression grew serious as he controlled the two dark-silver ghost corpses with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to target Palace Lord You Long¡¯s leg.


    Crack!


    One of the dark-silver ghost corpses forcefully received a punch and a kick from Palace Lord You Long head-on and a crack appeared on its body.


    However, this ghost corpse didn¡¯t feel any pain and still held onto Palace Lord You Long.


    Shu Shu Shu!!!


    The other dark-silver ghost corpse used this chance to continuously attack and claw toward Palace Lord You Long¡¯s injured leg.


    The injury on his leg hadn¡¯t fully healed yet and was ripped open once more.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s control, the two ghost corpses¡¯ teamwork was perfect.


    ¡°Siii! Not good~~~!¡±


    Palace Lord You Long roared in a raspy voice with uneasiness and fear.


    The instant his skin was broken open by the dark-silver ghost corpse, an indescribably terrifying poison started to travel across his body and wipe out all life.


    In just a breath, Palace Lord You Long¡¯s face went purple and his bloodline power became void of energy.


    He had a strong resistance toward poison with his unique bloodline, which was biased more toward the Yin element, and yet he was still poisoned.


    If it were True Lord Tiexiao or Palace Lord Bi Ji, they would be dead already.


    At this moment in time, Palace Lord You Long finally understood why Palace Lord Bi Ji died so quickly.


    The poison contained within these two dark-silver ghost corpses was enough to critically threaten those at the True Lord Rank. Most True Lords wouldn¡¯t have the ability to fight back at all.


    ¡°Arghhhhh~~~~~~!¡±


    In this dangerous situation, Palace Lord You Long started to burn his Qi of True Spirit to counter the poison, but his struggle wasn¡¯t enough.


    The dark-silver ghost corpses¡¯ poison contained not only venom from the ancient scorpion, it also contained the Earth Yin Poison Mushroom. It was a nightmarish existence for life.


    Crack!


    Palace Lord You Long gave a soul-shaking howl as he gritted his teeth and chopped his leg off.


    When his leg was removed from his body, over seventy percent of the poison was gone.


    After doing this, Palace Lord You Long managed to save his life, but his face was purple and his aura was weak.


    Qiu~~~ Sou!


    Palace Lord You Long didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer. He used his remaining bloodline, as well as the burning of his Qi of True Spirit, to speed off through the sky.


    Sky Moon Mountain.


    The entire Broken Moon Clan witnessed Palace Lord You Long chopping off his own leg as well as his defeat. The entire scene made their hearts go cold.


    ¡°Even Boss You Long lost¡­.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao, who had been captured, went pale-white and felt helpless.


    Of the four Palace Lords, Palace Lord You Long¡¯s cultivation was the highest and his bloodline was the strongest. He was the strongest person across the Cloud area.


    It was hard to imagine that the number one figure of the Iron Dragon Alliance had been forced to cut off his own leg to save his life.


    On the hill.


    ¡°He managed to escape¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked with surprise toward the direction Palace Lord You Long fled.


    It was surprising mainly due to the fact that Palace Lord You Long¡¯s bloodline was more powerful than he imagined, and it was even somewhat similar to the Ancient Demonic Dragon¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng had the heart to chase after him, but he couldn¡¯t do so.


    After this battle, a wave of fatigue came over his left eye.


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s cultivation had reached the late-stage True Lord Rank. If he only focused on escaping, Zhao Feng would be helpless to do anything.


    When Zhao Feng circulated his Qi of True Spirit, he suddenly felt something.


    ¡°Eh?¡±


    Zhao Feng found that his Qi of True Spirit hummed with lightning and wind. It gave off a chaotic pressure and aura, as well as a bloating sensation.


    His cultivation had reached the ¡°breaking point¡± to the True Lord Rank.


    This meant that he could break through to the True Lord Rank whenever he wanted, without much resistance.


    Due to this ¡°breaking point,¡± Zhao Feng had to give up the idea of chasing Palace Lord You Long.


    However, Palace Lord You Long was a powerful opponent that Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t let escape so easily.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng took a light breath as he opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and turned it into the water state.


    A mysterious ripple appeared in his left eye and finally condensed a dark blue dot that flashed forward with a wave of mental energy.


    Qiu~~~


    At the same time, Palace Lord You Long, who managed to flee a thousand miles, suddenly felt uneasy.


    ¡°What was that feeling just now?¡±


    Palace Lord You Long felt for an instant that something had stuck onto him, but as he was poisoned and missing a leg, this feeling was ignored.


    A thousand miles back, at the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let you go this time, but my God¡¯s Spiritual Eye has left a God Eye Mark on you that¡¯s extremely stealthy and hard to destroy.¡±


    A cold intent appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    A God Eye Mark was a mental energy tracker, which was something even some True Human Ranks could perform.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s God Eye Mark was created with the basis of the Dao of the Soul and had merged with a high level of bloodline from the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The God Eye Mark would be branded onto a specific target and it was extremely hard to find and get rid of.


    Unless the opponent¡¯s cultivation was higher than Zhao Feng, or their Dao of the Soul or mental energy techniques surpassed Zhao Feng, this mark wouldn¡¯t be wiped out for a while.


    Once the God Eye Mark was complete, Zhao Feng could roughly estimate the target¡¯s location, even if they were very far away.


    After completing all this, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes turned back toward the Broken Moon Clan.


    Master Haiyun, the Regulations Elder, and a couple others all tried to run when Zhao Feng was attacking Palace Lord You Long, but Lin Tong and the little thieving cat wouldn¡¯t let that happen.


    Miao miao! Shua Shua!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s figure flashed through the air.


    Every time this happened, it would wave its paws and the sound of being slapped would appear.


    Central Hall.


    ¡°Ahhh¡­.¡±


    Burning paw marks were left on Clan Master Haiyun and company¡¯s faces.


    Although the little thieving cat didn¡¯t specialize in power, its paw attacks contained a mysterious stunning effect.


    Any normal True Spirit Realm that was hit by the little thieving cat would feel the sky spin for a while.


    ¡°Hehe, everyone¡¯s playing very well¡­.¡±


    A light laugh came from the hill.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s battle with the three Palace Lords was over.


    Of the three Palace Lords, one was dead while another had been captured. Only one managed to barely escape.


    As soon as Zhao Feng spoke, the Broken Moon Clan fell into dead silence.


    Master Haiyun and company¡¯s figures froze.


    Everyone¡¯s gaze turned toward the smiling blue-haired youth with shock and respect.


    This youth had stood far away during the battle and never participated in close combat.


    Shua Shua!


    Two dark-silver ghost corpses started to kill those that tried to escape, including those from the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    ¡°Ahh! Ahh!¡±


    These dark-silver ghost corpses contained poison that was unparalleled under the Origin Core Realm and every flash of their claws would take a life.


    The Core Elders that ruled their own places were instantly killed by the dark-silver ghost corpses.


    Everything was in Zhao Feng¡¯s control.


    Clan Master Haiyun and the Regulations Elder had expressions of defeat. One or two of the upper echelons even kneeled in fear and pissed their pants.

 467 Executing Haiyun

    Under Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze, the entire Broken Moon Clan was obedient.


    Clan Master Haiyun, the Regulations Elder, and the spawn of the Iron Dragon Alliance were all filled with fear, helplessness, and despair.


    Just half the time it took to make tea earlier, who would have thought that this youth would be able to control the current situation by himself.


    Three Palace Lords of the Iron Dragon Alliance ¨C legendary figures that stood at the top of the Cloud area ¨C had been killed, captured, or injured by this youth.


    Ten Core Elders came but didn¡¯t return.


    In such a short amount of time, this youth made everyone respect him like a God.


    All of this seemed like a work of fiction, but the people here had all witnessed it.


    Halfway up the hill, the group led by Yang Gan had just entered the gates, but before they could even report the completion of the first of the forty-nine missions, the situation within the Broken Moon Clan changed.


    Actually, not only had the Broken Moon Clan changed, probably the entire Thirteen Countries, or even the entire Cloud area, would have drastic changes.


    Yang Gan, Lin Fan, Ran Xiaoyuan, Yang Qingshan, and company felt like this was all just a dream.


    In the time it took for a short nap, the era of Clan Master Haiyun had come to an end.


    ¡°Brother Zhao is way too strong. Unbelievable! He beat the three Palace Lords!¡±


    ¡°Haha! Finally! We can finally leave this prison. I can¡¯t believe that bastard Haiyun would have such a day.¡±


    ¡°...we almost blamed brother Zhao unjustly.¡±


    While joy filled the hearts of these disciples, there was also guilt.


    Cheers started to build up across the Broken Moon Clan, mainly from the lower-class disciples.


    A few of the upper echelons, such as Old Zhang and Old Guang, felt proud of old times.


    ¡°First Elder, you can die without regrets with such a good disciple.¡±


    Elder Liuyue smiled and said with slight envy.


    On the hill, First Elder looked at his nearby disciple before taking a deep breath and patting Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, I imagined that you would come back to the Broken Moon Clan one day, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be so fast.¡±


    First Elder couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    The two had a lot to talk about and it would take some time.


    First Elder was very curious about Zhao Feng¡¯s journey to the Canopy Great Country, but he didn¡¯t ask right away.


    He obviously knew that there were still a lot of problems awaiting Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng and First Elder soon descended into the Central Hall, and First Elder¡¯s smile became bigger as he looked at Clan Master Haiyun.


    Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s face was red and full of hatred. His eyes were still twinkling, giving the impression that he still had a plan.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really care about Master Haiyun.


    As of right now, the two seemed to have swapped statuses.


    In Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, Clan Master Haiyun was no different from an ant that could be killed with a flick of his fingers.


    ¡°True Lord Tiexiao.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze landed on True Lord Tiexiao, whom the little thieving cat had captured.


    Even now, the name ¡°True Lord Tiexiao¡± shook the hearts of the Broken Moon Clan upper echelons.


    How magnificent and powerful did True Lord Tiexiao seem back then?


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I know what you want. You want my blood contract with the Twelve Clans from back then.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s expression was calm. After all, he was a True Lord Rank that stood among the peak of the Cloud area. He had soon calmed down and found the reason why he was still alive.


    Why didn¡¯t Zhao Feng kill him?


    True Lord Tiexiao wasn¡¯t doubtful that Zhao Feng had the ability to do so, giving him the same outcome as Palace Lord Bi Ji.


    This meant that he had something valuable on him and, with some slight thinking, he came up with the answer.


    The blood contract.


    Back then, the Elders of the Twelve Clans had signed a blood contract under his threats.


    Blood contracts were a power that belonged to the Heaven and Earth. They had a restrictive power that made the Elders of the Twelve Clans unable to betray the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    This restrictive power was so strong that even First Elder and company wouldn¡¯t be able to help Zhao Feng if he returned.


    ¡°True Lord Tiexiao, you¡¯re very smart. Where¡¯s the blood contract?¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head with praise.


    He didn¡¯t like to beat around the bush. If True Lord Tiexiao cooperated well, he would consider leaving him with his life.


    ¡°The blood contract has been put in a secure and secret location. You have to promise not to kill or harm me, then I¡¯ll give the blood contract to you later.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao said solemnly.


    ¡°Hehe, really? How do I know that you won¡¯t trick me?¡±


    Zhao Feng half-believed and half-doubted as he gave a glance toward the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s figure disappeared.


    True Lord Tiexiao was puzzled. He didn¡¯t say anything, but his expression changed dramatically as he looked inside his interspatial ring.


    Shua!


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared again, but this time, he was holding an ancient scroll that had a line of blood on it.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­?¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao finally started to panic and couldn¡¯t believe what was happening.


    The blood contract had been hidden in a concealed corner. How could the little thieving cat find it so easily?


    Zhao Feng smiled and opened the blood contract before nodding his head.


    This blood contract contained the deal between the Twelve Clans and the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    It wasn¡¯t weird for True Lord Tiexiao to carry the blood contract around with him. After all, he was one of the four major figures of the Iron Dragon Alliance, and the Thirteen Countries weren¡¯t very important in the Cloud area.


    ¡°According to the records, blood contracts are made by the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race and these scrolls are now extremely rare ¨C especially blank ones.¡±


    Zhao Feng gently touched the blood contract.


    Whoosh!


    An arc of lightning sparked across his fingers, turning the blood contract into ashes.


    First Elder and the others of the Broken Moon Clan revealed a joyful expression.


    If the blood contract was destroyed, then the power of Heaven and Earth wouldn¡¯t restrict them anymore.


    On the contrary, True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s face was grey, and cold sweat formed across his forehead.


    The only thing he was valuable for had turned to nothing.


    ¡°You have ten breaths before I kill you.¡±


    Zhao Feng was getting ready to kill True Lord Tiexiao when he suddenly remembered to squeeze out his last remaining value.


    Ten breaths?


    True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s heart went cold and his breathing rate quickened.


    He had clearly seen the flash of killing intent pass in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, and he was certain that Zhao Feng would kill him without hesitation.


    His instincts were correct. The number of True Lord Ranks that died in the Purple Saint Ruins due to Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t low.


    ¡°Ten¡­ nine¡­ eight¡­ seven¡­¡±


    The entire Broken Moon Clan gaped at Zhao Feng deciding the life or death of a True Lord Rank.


    True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s thoughts spun before he gritted his teeth, ¡°Wait!¡±


    ¡°Remember, you only have one chance.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    True Lord Tiexiao took a deep breath before taking out a blank blood contract from his interspatial ring.


    ¡°Great, you succeeded.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.


    True Lord Tiexiao wasn¡¯t surprised. No one could resist ¡°controlling¡± another True Lord Rank, even if they had the ability to kill True Lord Ranks with ease.


    A while later, Zhao Feng signed the blank blood contract with True Lord Tiexiao.


    Both sides had to be willing for the blood contract to take effect.


    The contents of the contract were as such:


    True Lord Tiexiao was to be the protector of the Broken Moon Clan and couldn¡¯t betray it, etcetera, while Zhao Feng had to promise not to purposely harm True Lord Tiexiao and even support the latter if needed.


    After this blood contract was completed, Zhao Feng put it away.


    True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s heart was heavy. The chances of taking the blood contract back from Zhao Feng was very low. As time passed, the chances would become infinitely close to zero.


    Zhao Feng was a prodigy that ruled across dozens of generations. His future couldn¡¯t be estimated.


    When True Lord Tiexiao signed the blood contract, Clan Master Haiyun and company¡¯s hearts dropped.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ we can also sign a blood contract and be eternally loyal to you.¡±


    The Regulations Elder chattered.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng swiped his hand and a blade of wind and lightning chopped the Regulations Elder in two.


    ¡°You¡¯re not worthy enough.¡±


    A calm voice sounded across the Central Hall.


    Clan Master Haiyun and company trembled with fear, and a couple even pissed their pants.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes turned toward a figure that was silent, ¡°Brother Bei Moi.¡±


    ¡°You can decide what you want to do with me, whether it be killing me or torturing me.¡±


    Bei Moi¡¯s face was bitter


    ¡°Brother Bei Moi, you know that I won¡¯t kill you now, even though you betrayed Master back then.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    Bei Moi¡¯s face froze. He had guessed that he might get to live due to the fact that he and Zhao Feng both once served the same Master.


    ¡°Of course, there¡¯s a requirement.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words twisted.


    ¡°What requirement?¡±


    Bei Moi let out a breath.


    ¡°I want you to kill Haiyun and take his head to Lord Guanjun and ask for his forgiveness.¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke slowly.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ don¡¯t be ridiculous!¡±


    Clan Master Haiyun roared in hatred.


    Pa!


    He was about to go crazy, but he was quickly dazed by a cat paw.


    Those from the Broken Moon Clan couldn¡¯t help but be puzzled.


    Why did Zhao Feng want Bei Moi to kill Haiyun instead of doing it himself?


    However, those who knew more information guessed the reason.


    Firstly, Bei Moi was Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s most talented disciple, and it was a humiliation to die by the hand of his most hopeful disciple.


    Secondly, this also regarded the enmity between Clan Master Haiyun and Lord Guanjun.


    Haiyun once stole the woman that Lord Guanjun loved and humiliated him. Later on, he even took away Bei Moi.


    Now, Zhao Feng¡¯s requirement was for Bei Moi to kill Haiyun with his own hands and bring the head to Lord Guanjun.


    This would solve everything. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.


    ¡°Fine, I accept.¡±


    Bei Moi took out a sword without hesitation and cut off Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s head with a flash.


    In terms of cultivation and strength, there wasn¡¯t much of a difference between the two. However, Clan Master Haiyun had been stunned by the little thieving cat and was still dazed. Before he could react in time, his head had parted with his body.


    Bei Moi was so quick and decisive that it seemed like he didn¡¯t even think about it.

 468 True Lord Rank 1

    Bei Moi¡¯s decision between killing his Master and saving his own life was extremely decisive. There were no signs of hesitation.


    Master Haiyun couldn¡¯t even believe what happened. His eyeballs bulged out as he died.


    ¡°He killed his Master just like that? This Bei Moi¡­ is so cold-blooded.¡±


    ¡°Hmph! This isn¡¯t the first time he¡¯s betrayed someone. He¡¯s a very greedy person.¡±


    The entire Broken Moon Clan discussed Bei Moi¡¯s actions in low tones, mostly with disdain.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but ponder.


    Everyone saw Bei Moi kill Haiyun and silently put his head into a bag.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, Bei Moi¡¯s a natural traitor. If we let him go so easily, he¡¯ll probably¡­¡±


    Some familiar disciples and the elder generation were worried.


    ¡°Let him go.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t say anything more.


    First Elder smiled faintly and gave the orders to let Bei Moi leave.


    Before Zhao Feng went to the Canopy Great Country, First Elder made a lot of preparations for Zhao Feng, including his parents, Lord Guanjun, and company.


    This was the prerequisite for Zhao Feng to leave. Zhao Feng was really grateful for First Elder¡¯s care.


    At this time, Zhao Feng felt sour and guilty when he looked at First Elder¡¯s missing arm.


    ¡°Master lost an arm. When I get back to the Canopy Great Country, I¡¯ll craft a simplified version of the Wheel of Light and Darkness with Master Tiegan.¡±


    Zhao Feng decided.


    The blueprint of the Wheel of Light and Darkness came from the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance, and it could change between the three forms of an arm, a shield, and a wheel. It was very suitable for First Elder, who had lost an arm.


    Next, there were still other matters that needed to be solved in the Broken Moon Clan.


    Clan Master Haiyun and the Regulations Elder were already dead, but there were still many people that were once friends with Clan Master Haiyun, as well as subordinates and spies of the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    These tedious matters were given to First Elder, Granny Liuyue, Yang Gan, and company to take care of.


    On the same day, the Broken Moon Clan underwent a small purge. Nearly a hundred people across the entire Broken Moon Clan, from Elders to disciples, were killed.


    This was already First Elder being kind, as over half of the Clan belonged to Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s side.


    It had to be admitted that, over the past two years, the Broken Moon Clan had expanded under Clan Master Haiyun¡¯s control and could be ranked within the top five of the Thirteen Clans.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, now that Haiyun is dead, the Broken Moon Clan needs a new Clan Master. Who do you think is a good candidate?¡±


    First Elder asked.


    Zhao Feng thought about it and had a candidate. It was Brother Yang Gan.


    Yang Gan had good social ties and was once the Head Disciple. His talent and strength weren¡¯t too bad.


    Now that Yang Gan had returned from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, his cultivation had reached the half-step True Spirit Realm. It would only be a matter of time before he reached the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Yang Gan is indeed a good candidate, but his cultivation and experience are lacking.¡±


    First Elder also agreed.


    He was sure that Zhao Feng had no intentions of being the Clan Master. No place in the Cloud area could hold a big fish like him.


    ¡°I have a couple of resources and spiritual pills from the geniuses of the outside world. It¡¯s enough to create a couple True Spirit Realms. Master can decide what to do with them.¡±


    Zhao Feng took out some resources of the ¡°outside world¡± and gave them to First Elder.


    Although these resources were extremely rare in the Azure Flower Continent, they weren¡¯t much for a two-star sect.


    Any disciple from a two-star sect was at least at the True Mystic Rank or True Lord Rank. From this, one could see just how many resources they had.


    Three days later, the entire Broken Moon Clan regained its calm and everyone resumed their normal schedules.


    Zhao Feng entered seclusion and prepared to break through to the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Breaking through to the True Lord Rank won¡¯t increase my strength by leaps and bounds, but it can strengthen my foundation and attributes.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and started to slowly circulate the Qi of True Spirit within his body.


    As of right now, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level was around the late-stage True Lord Rank level, and the power of his soul was magnificent. Probably only someone at the Origin Core Realm could surpass him.


    This was all due to the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    With such a powerful soul and mental energy level, it was hard for Zhao Feng _not_ to rise in cultivation quickly.


    Once one¡¯s mental energy level rose, their cultivation speed would also increase and they could break through smoothly.


    In a single hall in the Sky Moon Mountain, Zhao Feng sat on the ground with closed eyes. Lightning sparked across the surface of his Qi of True Spirit with a chaotic aura.


    ¡°Once I reach the True Lord Rank, my Source of True Spirit will expand. Before this, I need to comprehend and merge more intents from the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet, as the change in strength before and after my breakthrough will be greater.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t immediately focus on breaking through.


    Only half a day would be needed if he wanted to break through. He could even try right now.


    However, Zhao Feng wanted to use this chance to expand his Source of True Spirit and merge in the elements of wind and lightning.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness soon merged into the tattered World of Wind and Lightning.


    Weng~~ Hu!


    Most of the dimension was dark, and the place was filled with destructive lightning and powerful winds.


    Furthermore, the colors and attributes of these winds and lightning were different.


    For example, the wind in front of Zhao Feng was either colorless, azure, purple, or even gold.


    There was also a large number of lightning colors.


    ¡°Transparent, azure, purple, scarlet, gold, dark gold¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng started to understand.


    The aura of the transparent color was the weakest. It was suitable for those under the True Spirit Realm to comprehend.


    The azure color level was Zhao Feng¡¯s current level, and the next step was the purple-colored winds and lightning. The intent of the purple-colored winds and lightning had reached the Origin Core Realm, and those at the True Lord Rank could manage to try and comprehend it.


    ¡°En, I¡¯ll first condense it into pure dark-azure, then I¡¯ll try to turn it into purple.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a rough plan of what he was going to do.


    He estimated that, if he could manage to fully comprehend the purple-colored level of Wind and Lightning, he should be able to roam freely across the continent. After that, if he was able to comprehend the scarlet-color level, he should be unparalleled within the continent, and he would be considered an expert even in the outside world.


    As for the highest level of gold and dark-gold, it was the level only reached by the Wind Lightning Emperor.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness merged into the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet and he focused on cultivating.


    Over the past few days, the air above the hall had howled with wind and lightning.


    The area was filled with dark clouds and storms that pushed back any True Human Rank within a one-mile radius.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng hasn¡¯t even reached the True Lord Rank yet and his true mental energy level has already surpassed normal True Lords.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao, who now guarded the Clan, was filled with solemnness. He became more wary and respectful of Zhao Feng.


    However, he was puzzled. With Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level, why hadn¡¯t he broken through to the True Lord Rank yet?


    Indeed, Zhao Feng¡¯s situation was somewhat unique.


    In the Purple Saint Ruins, he had to face enemies from all sides. Then his left eye underwent a change after he returned to the Cloud area.


    Now that his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had stabilized, he could focus on cultivating. However, the preparations he needed to make beforehand were very complex.


    Zhao Feng first wanted to change the element of his Source of True Spirit. The main element in his Source of True Spirit was currently lightning, but after comprehending the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet, wind started to merge into his skills as well.


    ¡°What¡¯s Zhao Feng waiting for? He should be able to break through to the True Lord Rank in a day or two.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao inspected the change in the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi above the Sky Moon Mountain.


    The Wind and Lightning Yuan Qi in the air was very uneasy.


    On the twentieth day, a whirlpool of wind and lightning formed above the hall Zhao Feng was at, and it contained a powerful aura of the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°The power has already surpassed the early-stage True Lord Rank and he still hasn¡¯t even broken through yet¡­.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao clicked his tongue.


    He found that the intent of Wind and Lightning in the air was becoming more unfathomable and immeasurable.


    The inheritance that Zhao Feng chose had once belonged to an Emperor whose speed was unparalleled. It wasn¡¯t something the Azure Flower Continent inheritances could be compared to.


    At the same time, while Zhao Feng was in seclusion, the Broken Moon Clan, and even the Thirteen Clans, were changing.


    The change in the Broken Moon Clan caused the entire Cloud Country to change.


    On the fifth day of Zhao Feng¡¯s seclusion, members of the Dragon Killing Alliance came.


    The news of Zhao Feng returning to the Cloud Country had spread across the Thirteen Countries, and it even spread to the two strong countries.


    Three Palace Lords of the Iron Dragon Alliance had been defeated by a junior. This news was like a hurricane that swept across the Cloud area.


    The name of Zhao Feng shocked the Thirteen Clans once again and he was respected by both the young and old generations.


    Because of Zhao Feng¡¯s existence, the Cloud Country and the Thirteen Countries became the stronghold of the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    The forces of the Dragon Killing Alliance quickly gathered in the Thirteen Countries and their forces even increased.


    Back then, the Iron Dragon Alliance decided the lives of everyone. No one dared to fight back.


    However, it was different now.


    The news and rumors of Zhao Feng defeating four Palace Lords alone caused many forces to join the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    At this point in time, the Broken Moon Clan became the core of the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    Although Zhao Feng was in seclusion and didn¡¯t know what was happening in the outside world, he had become the spiritual leader of the resistance against the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    In this period of time, many experts from thousands of miles away came to visit Zhao Feng, but they were declined by the Broken Moon Clan.


    On this day, another shocking piece of news came from the Thirteen Countries. The number one clan of the Thirteen Clans, the Cloud Sword Clan, had changed rulers.


    After Zhao Feng, another stunning genius ¨C a genius in the Dao of the Sword ¨C had returned to the Cloud area.

 469 True Lord Rank 2

    Cloud Sword Clan.


    In the clouds, there was a multitude of buildings that jutted out like swords piercing the sky.


    Amongst them, one of the buildings stood out. It gave off a piercing intent and seemed to be the ruler.


    At this moment, this sacred area, the ¡°Sword Pavilion,¡± was overflowing with blood.


    In front of the Sword Pavilion.


    ¡°Arghhh~~~~~!¡±


    A True Spirit Realm elder screamed as his sword fell onto the blood-stained ground.


    There were four or five True Spirit Realm experts there with him that had been slain in one slash.


    Apart from them, there were more than a hundred elites that had been killed.


    Those within the Sword Pavilion were frozen. Everyone looked in fear toward a plain-robed female.


    This plain-robed female seemed to radiate an invisible intent that pierced through everything nearby.


    This scene was extremely similar to the number one sword genius from back then. The one who had crushed every genius of the Thirteen Clans under her feet.


    ¡°Cang Yuyue, no matter how many more people you kill, you can¡¯t turn the tide of the Cloud area. Going against the Iron Dragon Alliance with your strength is suicide.¡±


    A green-armored male puffed with a savage expression.


    Streaks of sword-wounds had pierced through his Spiritual-grade armor.


    This armored male¡¯s cultivation had reached the late-stage True Mystic Rank, the same as Cang Yuyue.


    However, in the fight just now, the armored male and several True Spirit Realms had teamed up and still couldn¡¯t defeat the plain-robed female.


    ¡°Cang Yuyue¡¯s way too terrifying. More than a hundred elites have been killed by her.¡±


    ¡°Everyone that¡¯s opposed her is dead.¡±


    The cultivators at the Sword Pavilion didn¡¯t even dare to take a deep breath.


    ¡°Hmph, you don¡¯t need to tell me. I shall go to the headquarters of the Iron Dragon Alliance later.¡±


    Cang Yuyue said coldly.


    After the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and the inheritance, Cang Yuyue¡¯s Dao of the Sword had become sharper, and her path of killing was a hundred times stronger than before.


    Cang Yuyue still felt lucky when she remembered the encounters she had in the Seven Sword Inheritance with the other geniuses.


    If one wasn¡¯t strong or decisive enough, they would have been killed in the Seven Sword Inheritance.


    The reason she could return from the Seven Sword Inheritance was due to the fact that she had already nurtured the potential of sword intent, and she was extremely lucky.


    ¡°Hahaha, are you not scared the wind will cut off your tongue? Bitch, one day I will fuc-!¡±


    The armored man roared loudly.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword suddenly shot out, causing a piercing screech.


    Run!


    The armored male¡¯s expression changed, and a green flame appeared on his body as he reached a terrifying speed.


    The skill he cultivated contained the element of wind and had reached the extreme.


    In terms of speed, he was even comparable to normal True Lord Ranks.


    This was why he could keep standing up to now.


    Die!


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword vanished.


    Jiang!


    However, a tattered green-bronze sword appeared. It gave off a cold and ancient aura, and it seemed to be immortal and supreme.


    A chilling sword intent locked onto the armored male through both the physical and the mental energy dimensions.


    Shua!


    Cang Yuyue shook her hand and a cold beam as thin as a spiderweb extended through the air. It seemed extremely slow, but it actually happened in an instant.


    Plop!


    The armored man fell from the sky with a bloody gash that split his body in half.


    Sword Pavilion.


    The entire clan couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath as they looked at the legendary female that had returned from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Shua!


    A woman dressed in white suddenly appeared in front of Cang Yuyue.


    ¡°Elder Bai.¡±


    Cang Yuyue bowed with respect. This woman¡¯s aura was on par with the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion. Cang Yuyue had not returned alone.


    ¡°Yuyue, your strength has stunned us. Although you¡¯re only at the late-stage True Mystic Rank, your attacks can already threaten those at the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Elder Bai praised and gave a high review. Cultivators of the sword specialized in offense, and Cang Yuyue was someone who had comprehended sword intent in addition to receiving the Seven Sword Inheritance.


    ¡°Unfortunately, there¡¯s still a distance between Yu Tianhao, Zhao Feng, Xin Wuheng, and company.¡±


    Cang Yuyue didn¡¯t have any arrogance on her face. Although her strength and talent were very high and she was the number one genius of the Ten Thousand Sword Clan, there was still an obvious gap between her and the overwhelming prodigies.


    ¡°Hehe, you don¡¯t need to praise others. With your talent and comprehension level, you aren¡¯t far behind. If you started from the same starting line, you might be comparable to those overwhelming prodigies.¡±


    Elder Bai smiled and supported.


    Cang Yuyue nodded her head, confident in her improvements.


    However, the main reason she returned to the Cloud area was to save her Clan. In just an instant, the Cloud Sword Clan¡¯s destiny had been changed by Cang Yuyue.


    ¡°What¡¯s the current situation of the Thirteen Clans? I heard that Zhao Feng is back.¡±


    Cang Yuyue questioned.


    After a while of listening, her expression started to become solemn. Everyone found that she was very curious about Zhao Feng.


    Some from the Cloud Sword Clan knew that Cang Yuyue had lost to Zhao Feng back then. Now that she had returned to the Cloud area, maybe she would challenge him to reclaim the title of number one.


    ¡°Defeated three True Lord Ranks by himself?¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ has already become so strong?¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s heart sped up the more she heard. Even Elder Bai was full of surprise.


    Elder Bai Shang had watched the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. At that point in time, Zhao Feng was still far away from the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°He¡¯s indeed worthy of being an overwhelming prodigy. Probably only Yu Tianhao is on the same level in the entire continent.¡±


    Elder Bai Shang couldn¡¯t help but sigh. She had to admit that the five overwhelming prodigies¡¯ strength had reached a stage where they were even stronger than some of the older generation, especially Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao.


    However, Zhao Feng had disappeared mysteriously for several months.


    ¡°I¡¯ll challenge him before I leave the Cloud area, no matter how strong he is.¡±


    A powerful surge of sword intent appeared in Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes.


    As if being pressured by Zhao Feng, Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword intent seemed to keep on climbing.


    Elder Bai Shang nodded her head. Those that trained in the sword needed an unbreakable will in order to keep on improving by battling the heaven and earth.


    Cloud area, Thirteen Countries.


    In just a month¡¯s time, the entire situation had changed. Almost half of the Clans had escaped the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s control, and the beginning of everything was the Broken Moon Clan.


    Zhao Feng had defeated the three Palace Lords and forced True Lord Tiexiao to surrender. He had also destroyed the blood contract.


    Before entering seclusion, Zhao Feng had also ordered some experts, with Lin Tong leading them, to help the other two ¡°Moon¡± Clans, the Lin Moon Clan and the Silver Moon Clan.


    Zhao Yufei had asked Zhao Feng to help the Lin Moon Clan back in the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Broken Moon Clan, Lin Moon Clan, Silver Moon Clan, Cloud Sword Clan¡­ all these Clans had escaped the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s control and regained their freedom.


    In this period, the Dragon Killing Alliance, led by Old Su and the elites of the Sky Rich Country, started to proceed toward the Thirteen Countries.


    The Thirteen Countries were no longer part of the area controlled by the Iron Dragon Alliance, with the Broken Moon Clan acting as the center.


    Old Su helped the Clans regain their freedom while also cleaning up the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s forces within the Thirteen Countries.


    Everything was progressing smoothly.


    According to their deal, Old Su was responsible for cleaning up and gathering information.


    On this day, at the Broken Moon Clan.


    Sou!


    An aura at the True Lord Rank descended onto the Sky Moon Mountain.


    ¡°Who is it!?¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao, who was guarding the mountain, roared.


    ¡°True Lord Tiexiao, I hope you¡¯re doing well.¡±


    A white-bearded elder floated to the front of the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°Old Monster Su, it¡¯s you?¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao had an ugly expression.


    Even before the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had entered the Cloud area, the strong countries these two belonged to were on opposing sides.


    ¡°I have an important piece of news that needs to be discussed with Zhao Feng.¡±


    Old Su soon entered the topic with an urgent tone.


    If a normal expert wanted to see Zhao Feng, it would be almost impossible, but this was Old Su, a True Lord Rank that was also the leader of the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    However, it wasn¡¯t going to be easy passing True Lord Tiexiao.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you know that Zhao Feng¡¯s in seclusion and won¡¯t be seeing anyone?¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s face was cold.


    ¡°This news is very important for the Cloud area.¡±


    Old Su rushed.


    True Lord Tiexiao didn¡¯t say anything and pointed toward a hall in the mountains.


    Hmm?


    Old Su felt that the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in that area was extremely sensitive. A ball of wind and lightning occasionally caused thunder to boom and rain to fall.


    Weng~~


    A deep hum sounded in the air, as if wind and lightning were synced together and a monster was devouring this ball.


    Half a day later, the ball of wind and lightning started to compress into a whirlpool that created waves of lightning.


    ¡°He¡¯s reached the last part?¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao inspected closely. Over the past few days, he had been paying attention to Zhao Feng¡¯s situation.


    ¡°He¡¯s breaking through to the True Lord Rank?¡±


    Old Su had a weird expression. The sky rippled with lightning and wind, and there was a destructive aura that caused the Qi of True Spirit within Old Su and True Lord Tiexiao to become heavy and uneasy.

 470 True Lord Rank 3

    Above the hall, the ball of wind and lightning started to condense into a whirlpool, and ripples of lightning could be seen.


    Weng~~


    The whirlpool of wind and lightning started to spin faster and faster as a soul-shaking howl was unleashed. The Yuan Qi in the air started to interact with the lightning and wind.


    The source of this came from Zhao Feng.


    Half a mile away, the two True Lord Ranks looked at each other with shock in their eyes.


    At this moment in time, a powerful aura of the True Lord Rank spread across several miles.


    Luckily, the place Zhao Feng chose was secluded, but even then, the entire Broken Moon Clan felt uneasy.


    Boom!


    Dark clouds covered the sky above the Sky Moon Mountain and the chaotic wind and lightning swept across several miles.


    Such a display of nature caused the entire Broken Moon Clan to feel uneasy.


    Within the hall, the blue hair of a youth waved in the wind as light occasionally flashed across his face and a beam of wind and lightning connected to the whirlpool above.


    ¡°One with nature¡­ concentration¡­ Xin Wuheng, I didn¡¯t think your intents would be so compatible with nature and help me so much with breaking through to the True Lord Rank.¡±


    The youth¡¯s eyes were filled with joy.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng had reached the final step.


    In reality, he had no bottleneck when reaching the True Lord Rank, but the preparation time was longer than he expected.


    On one hand, Zhao Feng needed to improve his Source of True Spirit. On the other hand, Zhao Feng¡¯s powerful soul had an incredible effect in this process.


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s ¡°one with nature¡± and the Wood Spirit Soul Essence gave Zhao Feng something that was unexpected.


    In his mind, different types of comprehension and intent clashed together like sparks that caused flames.


    Huala! Boom~~


    The expressions of the two True Lord Ranks were solemn as they gazed at the powerful wind and lightning.


    This disaster was enough to destroy a village, and the Elders of the Broken Moon Clan even opened the protective array in case this disaster became uncontrollable.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    A shout came from within the hall.


    Crack!


    A beam of wind and lightning with the thickness of a fist instantly shattered the dim sky.


    Huala~~~


    Rain fell and revealed the bright sun.


    The disciples of the Broken Moon Clan felt as if they had entered another world. Just a moment ago, a powerful chaotic aura seemed capable of destroying the Broken Moon Clan any instant.


    Boom!


    Thunder boomed across the sky and a rainbow appeared.


    At the same instance, a new True Lord Rank aura enveloped several miles.


    ¡°He¡¯s broken through?¡±


    ¡°Such a pure aura¡­. This isn¡¯t something a beginning-stage True Lord Rank can be compared to.¡±


    The two True Lord Ranks were stunned. Zhao Feng had stepped past the beginning stage of the True Lord Rank and directly into the early-stage True Lord Rank, saving years of time.


    Just this point alone made the two True Lord Ranks feel battered.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy was also strengthened slightly. In terms of pure mental energy, he exceeded the late-stage True Lord Rank.


    An arc of lightning flashed through the air and appeared in front of the two True Lord Ranks.


    Immediately following that, a numbing sensation caused Old Su¡¯s and True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s hearts to shake.


    The two took a deep breath and looked toward the blue-haired youth with complex emotions.


    After reaching the True Lord Rank, Zhao Feng seemed to become one with the wind and lightning nearby, unable to be seen.


    ¡°Congratulations on Brother Zhao reaching the True Lord Rank.¡±


    ¡°Reaching the early-stage True Lord Rank from the True Mystic Rank in one step. You¡¯re probably the strongest person in the Cloud area.¡±


    Old Su and True Lord Tiexiao were joyful, but they sighed at the same time.


    The sound of flying soon appeared and the upper echelons of the Broken Moon Clan, including Clan Master Yang Gan and company, came to give their congratulations.


    The entire Clan was filled with a joyous attitude.


    The birth of a True Lord Rank was enough to change the Cloud area¡¯s situation.


    The number of True Lord Ranks here was small enough to be counted with one hand and they were all supreme rulers.


    For a small force such as the Broken Moon Clan, the birth of a True Lord Rank was a miracle.


    Even in the Canopy Great Country, a True Lord Rank could have a great impact.


    Half the time it took to make tea later, Central Hall Division.


    Zhao Feng, Old Su, Tiexiao, First Elder, Yang Gan, and a few of the upper echelons had gathered together.


    After exiting seclusion, Zhao Feng mostly understood the situation of the Thirteen Countries.


    Everything was going more smoothly than expected.


    With the Broken Moon Clan as the center, other forces started to escape the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s control. In addition, Cang Yuyue from the Cloud Sword Clan had returned and slain a bunch of people from the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    Of course, the one that had done the most was still Zhao Feng. He had defeated three Palace Lords and destroyed the blood contract. Zhao Feng¡¯s story was a legend.


    His name and fame had started to spread across the entire Cloud area, and in some rumors, he was even crowned the strongest in the Cloud area.


    ¡°Old Su, what do you have to discuss since you came in such a rush?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze turned toward Old Su.


    He had felt Old Su¡¯s aura while he was in seclusion.


    ¡°The Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s power is spread across every corner of the Cloud area. It¡¯s not a secret that they are supported by the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. For example, Palace Lord You Long, the Blood Corpse Palace Lord, and some Core Elders are all from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. Several days ago, the Dragon Killing Alliance received some bad news¡­.¡±


    Old Su¡¯s voice started to become more solemn.


    Bad news?


    The hearts of everyone jumped.


    ¡°In the area next to the two strong countries and the Thirteen Countries, there have been appearances of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and the elites of the Iron Dragon Alliance¡­.¡±


    Old Su said.


    Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion?


    Was this great power starting to revive?


    Waves appeared in First Elder, Yang Gan, and company¡¯s hearts. It was Zhao Feng who was calm and not as fearful toward the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion as before.


    ¡°Old Su, I¡¯ll need you to pay close attention to the actions of the Iron Dragon Alliance. I think that the Iron Dragon Alliance won¡¯t go down so easily, and they¡¯ll soon counterattack.¡±


    Zhao Feng said confidently.


    ¡°How are you so sure?¡±


    Old Su was slightly surprised. The Alliance had undergone a lot of surveillance to come to such a conclusion.


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly, ¡°Because Palace Lord You Long is still in the Thirteen Countries. I can pursue him whenever I want and finish off some others as well.¡±


    The God Eye Mark Zhao Feng had left on Palace Lord You Long could still be sensed.


    Through this mark, Zhao Feng could confirm that Palace Lord You Long hadn¡¯t returned back to the Iron Dragon Country yet and was still in the Thirteen Countries.


    With this trail, Zhao Feng could attack the upper echelons of the Iron Dragon Alliance once more.


    After that, Old Su and Zhao Feng started to discuss how to clean up the spawn of the Iron Dragon Alliance and Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    In this period of time, True Lord Tiexiao revealed some secrets of the Iron Dragon Alliance and Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng walked out of the Central Hall.


    He circulated his left eye and could feel that the direction Palace Lord You Long was in was close to where Old Su had said the spawn of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had appeared.


    ¡°Now that I¡¯ve reached the True Lord Rank, all I need to do is focus on the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet and the Imperial Spear, which can greatly increase my battle power. At that time, no one under the Origin Core Realm will be my match.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. The Wind Lightning Stone Tablet was his main source of improvement.


    As for Palace Lord You Long, as long as he didn¡¯t sense anything when the mark was set, it would be almost impossible to find it afterward.


    This meant that it was only a matter of time before Zhao Feng went to pursue Palace Lord You Long.


    While Zhao Feng was thinking, a screech came from near the Broken Moon Clan and the aura of sword intent seemed to pierce through space.


    The hearts of the Broken Moon Clan disciples froze.


    How powerful was Zhao Feng¡¯s soul?


    He comprehended the Dao of the Soul and was extremely sensitive toward sword intent that could reach the soul dimension.


    In front of the Broken Moon Clan, a cold male was facing a plain-robed female.


    ¡°Scarlet Demon Moon Eye ¨C Demonic Hell Asura!¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s eyes turned black and formed a bloody demonic moon.


    Weng~


    A blood-red demonic moon appeared above Cang Yuyue¡¯s head in a half-undetectable manner and released a hellish aura that sent terrifying scenes toward her, creating chaos in her mind.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and she felt uneasy for a short while, but the sword intent on her body became sharper and sharper.


    Blood-red tentacles extended from the blood-red demonic moon and tried to drag her into hell.


    ¡°Seven Sword Inheritance ¨C Heavenly Despair Killing Sword!¡±


    Cang Yuyue slashed forward with a green-bronze blade that radiated cold killing intent.

 471 Facing the Sword Inten

    Seven Sword Inheritance ¨C Heavenly Despair Killing Sword!!


    Shua!


    A beautiful beam of cold light slashed out from the tattered sword. It seemed to shatter the void and alter the passing of time.


    Crack!


    The blood-colored demonic moon that Lin Tong created shattered and the terrifying scenes from the demonic hell disappeared.


    In that instant, a cold killing intent full of slaughter passed through his body.


    Wa!


    Lin Tong¡¯s body shook as he spat out a mouthful of blood and turned white.


    ¡°Seven Sword Inheritance¡­. You¡­.¡±


    Blood appeared in Lin Tong¡¯s eyes. Cang Yuyue¡¯s attack had not only broken his technique, it also attacked his eye bloodline.


    The clash of these two only lasted a few seconds and Lin Tong had already used his most powerful skill. Not only did he lose, his eyes had even been injured by Cang Yuyue.


    ¡°I lost.¡±


    Lin Tong was depressed. He lost to Cang Yuyue back then as well, and although they both had made major improvements, the distance between them was now even greater.


    In terms of bloodline talent and foundation, Lin Tong had the advantage, but Cang Yuyue had entered the Seven Sword Inheritance and received the core inheritance. Her attacks had reached an unbelievable level and they could even break through a difference in cultivation.


    ¡°My opponent isn¡¯t you.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s voice was faint. Although she hadn¡¯t reached the True Lord Rank yet, her offense was unparalleled among those below the True Lord Rank. She could even threaten those at the True Lord Rank.


    Shua!


    With a cold flash, a woman dressed in white appeared.


    Who is this!?


    Lin Tong¡¯s face froze. The woman in white¡¯s speed had exceeded his eye.


    ¡°Elder Bai, I¡¯m here to challenge Zhao Feng. I hope you won¡¯t interfere.¡±


    Cang Yuyue said.


    The woman in white smiled. How would she not know what Cang Yuyue was feeling?


    But her eyes turned to Lin Tong and her face went cold.


    ¡°Junior, what¡¯s your relationship with the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion? Your skill and eye bloodline are definitely connected with the Scarlet Moon Inheritance.¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s voice contained cold killing intent and Lin Tong hiccupped coldly. The mental energy pressure from Elder Bai was much stronger than the four Palace Lords of the Iron Dragon Religion.


    Her eyes were like piercing swords that shot into his heart. He knew that if an expert at this level wanted to kill him, it would only take a thought.


    Facing Elder Bai¡¯s questioning, Lin Tong¡¯s heart fell.


    The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had indeed placed great importance on him and gave him a chance to enter the Scarlet Moon Inheritance.


    However, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was the enemy of the entire continent and had offended countless forces.


    Sou! Sou!


    Right at this moment, True Lord Tiexiao and Old Su came out.


    ¡°Who dares to challenge the Broken Moon Clan?¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s emotionless voice descended from the sky.


    According to the blood contract, he needed to protect the Clan.


    ¡°Two early-stage True Lord Ranks?¡±


    Surprise flashed by Elder Bai¡¯s eyes. True Lord Ranks were peak existences even in great countries, and this faraway Clan had two?


    Of course, Elder Bai¡¯s eyes only glanced toward True Lord Tiexiao and Old Su. She didn¡¯t truly put them in her eyes.


    She harrumphed coldly with disdain and coldness.


    True Lord Tiexiao and Old Su¡¯s body froze as their expressions turned to shock.


    Elder Bai¡¯s glance seemed to pierce through their hearts and, in just one look, the two didn¡¯t dare to look back.


    ¡°Peak True Lord Rank¡­!¡±


    Old Su and True Lord Tiexiao exclaimed.


    The two instantly took a deep breath and acted like they were facing a great enemy.


    Luckily, Elder Bai didn¡¯t seem to take the two True Lord Ranks to heart and turned back to Lin Tong.


    Lin Tong¡¯s face went white and he seemed as if he had fallen into an abyss.


    Instinct told him that the woman in front of him was probably stronger than anyone in the Cloud area.


    ¡°Senior¡¯s eyes are indeed bright. This one was indeed once a member of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion but has left now¡­.¡±


    Lin Tong could only say.


    The second he finished saying this, the woman in white¡¯s eyes seemed to turn into swords.


    Lin Tong felt a wisp of killing intent lock onto him. His back was filled with cold sweat and didn¡¯t dare to move at all.


    Old Su and True Lord Tiexiao¡¯s expressions both changed. If this Elder Bai really wanted to kill Lin Tong, they might not be able to stop her.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s honor to have an expert from the Ten Thousand Sword Clan.¡±


    A warm laugh sounded with the descension of wind and lightning.


    A soft breeze of wind and a light numbing sensation appeared.


    Shua!


    A blue-haired youth appeared in the sky and the winds seemed to freeze.


    ¡°It¡¯s you? You¡¯re indeed worthy of being one of the two overwhelming prodigies. In just a couple months, you¡¯ve already reached the True Lord Rank.¡±


    A sharp light appeared in Elder Bai¡¯s eyes as she immediately recognized the youth¡¯s identity.


    The pressure on Lin Tong immediately disappeared and he almost fell down as soon as Zhao Feng arrived.


    The other True Lord Ranks both let out a breath.


    Most people present, including Lin Tong, were puzzled. This person knew Zhao Feng?


    After all, not many people in the Cloud area knew Zhao Feng¡¯s achievements in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Sword Clan? The number one sword clan in the Northern Continent?¡±


    Old Su and True Lord Tiexiao both took in a cold breath.


    Even the Cloud area knew of the Ten Thousand Sword Clan¡¯s name.


    In the Northern Continent, the Heavenly Yuan Clan was the strongest and was one of the ten strongest forces.


    The Ten Thousand Sword Clan was a force directly below the Heavenly Yuan Clan and was enough to destroy two strong countries.


    ¡°No wonder she didn¡¯t put us in her eyes.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao understood. The opponent¡¯s Clan and strength surpassed him and Old Su by far.


    ¡°Thank you for senior¡¯s praise. I was just lucky and put in some effort. The status of overwhelming prodigy isn¡¯t mine.¡±


    Zhao Feng replied humbly.


    In reality, this Elder Bai in front of him gave him some pressure and even a sense of danger.


    Her cultivation had reached the peak True Lord Rank and she was a cultivator of the sword.


    Amongst those of the same cultivation, those that trained in the Dao of the Sword had the strongest offense.


    Elder Bai¡¯s battle power was at least on par with the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion.


    ¡°This kid¡¯s potential is terrifying. What secret is contained within the inheritance he went to?¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s eyes twinkled as she looked at Zhao Feng.


    Back at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei both entered the ¡°mysterious inheritance.¡±


    From the aura of the mysterious inheritance, it would likely have surpassed the four great inheritances, as it had at least pushed part of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance away.


    Not only was Elder Bai interested in this unknown inheritance, even Sovereigns from the Sacred Alliance would be interested.


    ¡°Elder Bai, I hope you won¡¯t interfere in my spar with Zhao Feng.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s figure flashed in front of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Elder Bai shook her head and went to spectate.


    She knew clearly how bent Cang Yuyue was on this. Even though Zhao Feng was far stronger than expected, Cang Yuyue would still challenge him.


    This was a cultivator of the sword, someone who had a powerful belief.


    ¡°Cang Yuyue, you¡¯ve improved a lot. If it was me before I broke through to the True Lord Rank, we would have a big fight, but now¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng said regretfully.


    Not long ago, he had reached the early-stage True Lord Rank, and the difference in cultivation between the two was big.


    Cang Yuye and Elder Bai both had solemn expressions.


    Before Cang Yuyue had come to challenge Zhao Feng, she had heard that Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was still at the True Mystic Rank.


    However, when she had arrived at the Broken Moon Clan, Zhao Feng had already jumped to the early-stage True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, don¡¯t speak your words too early. I¡¯ve also killed geniuses at the True Lord Rank in the Seven Sword Inheritance.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes were filled with sword intent and this aura brought a crashing wave onto the hearts of the people present.


    Old Su and True Lord Tiexiao both felt their hearts shake. If they even looked into Cang Yuyue¡¯s eyes, their eyes would hurt.


    In that instant, Cang Yuyue seemed to become a sword, and the tattered sword in her hand hummed with the power of time.


    Shuuuu~~~


    Before the attack even arrived, Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword intent already radiated a cold aura that was full of slaughter.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye caught a glimpse of sharpness in the mental energy dimension that could kill ghosts.


    Such a powerful attack instantly shot toward Zhao Feng and this mental energy attack could almost not be avoided.


    Ice Soul Shooting Line!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye shot out a beam of ice-blue light that blocked Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword intent.


    ¡°Blocked the sword intent?¡±


    Cang Yuyue and Elder Bai¡¯s expressions changed dramatically.


    ¡°How did he do this? Sword intent attacks are faster than normal mental energy attacks and Cang Yuyue was the person to attack first.¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s heart shook in disbelief.


    Cultivators of the sword could form sword intent that could counter mental energy illusions and eye techniques to a certain level.


    Cang Yuyue retreated. Her sword intent attack had not only been stopped by Zhao Feng, a coldness had even counterattacked.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s body and mind instantly slowed down, but luckily her sword intent had grown after she had entered the Seven Sword Inheritance and she quickly destroyed the coldness.


    ¡°To face sword intent with his eye bloodline. Only a monster like him could do this.¡±


    Lin Tong suppressed the waves in his heart. He could tell that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t even serious. It was unimaginable what kind of skills Zhao Feng had.

 472 Elder Bai’s Worry

    In the air, Zhao Feng and Cang Yuyue¡¯s short clash was only understood by those at the True Spirit Realm.


    Elder Bai¡¯s eyes were full of shock and her expression was solemn.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯ve exceeded my estimations, but our battle has just begun. After exiting the Seven Sword Inheritance, my aim is the five overwhelming prodigies.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword intent kept on rising and her will became stronger.


    Shua!


    A ripple that could be seen with the naked eye started to form from the tattered sword. It hummed with a sound that shook the soul.


    A crushing sword intent formed that brought immense pressure to the mental energy dimension, and it shook the hearts of others at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°There¡¯s no other sword intent as strong as this within the Cloud area.¡±


    ¡°This sword intent is so dominant that it can threaten and attack the mind of True Lord Ranks.¡±


    Old Su and True Lord Tiexiao started to concentrate. The distance between them was quite short, so they could feel how strong the sword intent was. It was something they didn¡¯t even want to directly look at.


    Weng~~


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s ancient sword started to tremble, and a bright cold light started to radiate from it as it spat out a piercing beam that released a cold killing intent.


    ¡°Such a powerful will of sword intent. That sword¡­¡±


    Everyone¡¯s gazes were attracted to the ancient sword.


    It probably had a deep history behind it.


    In just a few breaths, the aura from the tattered sword had doubled, and even tripled, as an unknown power seemed to awaken from it.


    ¡°Heavenly Despair Killing Sword ¨C Random Slaughter Sword Style!¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s hair blew as the shining cold beam seemed to merge with her body.


    Shu Shu Shu!!!


    Waves of sword lights flashed through the air and made the sun and moon lose their color. These piercing sword beams were half-transparent, and they destroyed everything in their path.


    Bam Bam Bam~~~~~


    The clouds and mountains would shatter wherever these sword beams went. Holes would form that were so deep, one couldn¡¯t even see the end.


    ¡°Dodge quickly and open the protective array!¡±


    ¡°Open the array!¡±


    The Broken Moon Clan broke out into chaos.


    Many spectators were trembling in fear in front of this attack. It seemed as if thousands upon thousands of sword beams were starting a fearsome slaughter.


    The killing intent of these sword beams alone could make those under the True Lord Rank lose the power to resist.


    ¡°This sword¡¯s power is enough to critically threaten normal True Lord Ranks.¡±


    True Lord Tiexiao, Old Su, and Lin Tong all retreated as they tried to dissolve the power.


    Shu~


    Bloody marks were left on Lin Tong¡¯s body and he couldn¡¯t help but scream.


    ¡°Is this really the power of someone at the True Mystic Rank? Even Yu Tianhao didn¡¯t have such powerful offense before he reached the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression moved, and his casualness disappeared.


    The power in Cang Yuyue¡¯s tattered sword even made the Ice Imperial Spear sense something.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s move was a wide-ranged attack that had no pattern whatsoever and couldn¡¯t be dodged.


    Wu~~


    A wave of lightning appeared in front of Zhao Feng and began to rotate quickly.


    Ding Ding Ding~~~


    Sparks flew everywhere as the sword beams were blocked, but there were a few powerful sharp sword beams that slashed straight toward Zhao Feng.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure disappeared amidst wind and lightning.


    However, Cang Yuyue¡¯s comprehension of the sword exceeded his expectations. Several bright sword beams locked onto him the second he reappeared.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a surprised expression.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    With a roar, he sent a ripple of wind and lightning that destroyed everything within a twenty-yard radius.


    It was obvious Cang Yuyue¡¯s strength had exceeded Zhao Feng¡¯s expectations. He was forced to use the strength of a True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Hehe, after being ignited by the opponent, Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword intent has risen to another level, and the power within the ¡®ancient inheritance sword¡¯ is also awakening¡­. The supreme sword killing technique from the Seven Swords Inheritance is indeed terrifying.¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s face was full of praise and admiration.


    An invisible barrier blocked the sword beam waves that came near her.


    Of the spectators, only Elder Bai could watch easily.


    Compared with her, the other two True Lord Ranks, Old Su and True Lord Tiexiao, were panicking.


    ¡°Interesting, indeed worthy of the Seven Swords Inheritance.¡±


    Zhao Feng was happy instead of being shocked as he started to flash around the area.


    Wu~


    A layer of azure wind surrounded him and it sent out arcs of lightning that destroyed the sword beams near him.


    Zhao Feng focused on movement. He was as agile as the wind while also occasionally as fast as lightning.


    He would occasionally counterattack with lightning-quick speed and power.


    Wind Lightning Chaotic Storm!


    A ball of wind and lightning formed on Zhao Feng¡¯s palm as he created gusts of howling wind and rain across a one-mile radius.


    Boom~~~


    The entire area was enveloped by dark clouds and lightning.


    This skill had exceeded normal techniques and had used the essence of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to the maximum.


    ¡°Destruction Slaughter Sword Style!¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s expression changed as she was forced back by the storm of wind and lightning.


    She used another inheritance sword technique and created some sword-winds.


    Bam!


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s breathing rate quickened as the power of the awakening in her inheritance sword merged with her sword intent, allowing her to use twice as much power than she usually could.


    However, although she had power incomparable to before, it still couldn¡¯t stop the enemy in front of her.


    Zhao Feng had comprehended the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor, and every action of his caused normal True Lord Ranks to be wary.


    Wah!


    A streak of blood leaked from Cang Yuyue¡¯s mouth as her face went white.


    Weng~


    A wind blew over Cang Yuyue that numbed her body.


    ¡°You¡¯ve lost.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s hand slowly pressed toward Cang Yuyue¡¯s shoulder.


    Cang Yuyue had used powerful moves consecutively and over half of her Yuan Qi had been expended, whereas Zhao Feng was still full of energy.


    This was the difference between the True Lord Rank and True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°It¡¯s not over yet¡­. Heaven Sword Defiance Slaughter Style!¡±


    A soul-trembling sword intent rose from Cang Yuyue and it seemed to turn light into darkness. It was as if she was hellbent on winning, even if it meant to turn the Heaven and Earth around.


    Without even turning her head, the tattered ancient sword in her hand flashed toward Zhao Feng in a beautiful arc.


    Everyone¡¯s expression changed watching this scene.


    ¡°Even I can¡¯t fully see past this sword intent. This sword is enough to kill more than half of the True Lords Ranks, and even those at the late-stage True Lord Rank would find it hard to retreat unharmed from such a short distance.¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s face turned to happiness.


    She was hoping that this sword could kill Zhao Feng.


    On the other side, Tiexiao and Old Su were stunned. Without a doubt, Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword intent and power had reached the peak of the Sword Dao. Even these two True Lord Ranks felt helpless against this move.


    Booooom~~~


    A ripple of mesmerizing water blocked this fearsome sword.


    Whoosh!


    This ripple of water seemed to contain a softness that couldn¡¯t be described.


    Two breaths later, over ninety percent of the beautiful sword beam had faded. Only a small light managed to pass through the ripple.


    ¡°It feels cold?¡±


    Zhao Feng reached out and touched the small wound on his skin.


    Surprise was written all over his face. He had underestimated his opponent.


    Furthermore, Cang Yuyue¡¯s last sword was unexpected, and the power it contained was enough to slay a normal True Lord Rank.


    However, this small wound quickly healed with the help of his bloodline power.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I didn¡¯t think you would be so strong. Did you even use your true strength¡­?¡±


    Cang Yuyue smiled bitterly as she fainted.


    Her strongest attack was enough to kill more than half of the True Lord Ranks out there, but it barely nicked Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Yuyue!¡±


    With a flash of white light, Elder Bai grabbed ahold of Cang Yuyue.


    Broken Moon Clan.


    Old Su, First Elder, and company all let out a breath.


    Although that last sword was terrifying and fearsome, they were more in admiration of Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.


    In front of that move, Zhao Feng was still able to react, and he even had a powerful defense as well as healing capabilities.


    ¡°After this Zhao Feng came out from the unknown inheritance, he¡¯s been progressing as if he¡¯s a God. His bloodline, as well as his skills, have increased by leaps and bounds¡­.¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s eyes flashed as she stared at Zhao Feng for a while. Zhao Feng felt a faint killing intent and danger, but he didn¡¯t show any signs of retreat.


    A while later, Elder Bai looked deeply toward Zhao Feng and left.


    She only had a sixty percent chance of killing him.


    ¡°This brat focuses on Wind and Lightning. Speed and offense is his forte. His eye bloodline is also defensive and can heal. It would be very hard to kill him.¡±


    Elder Bai felt it was too troublesome.


    She could find almost no flaws from Zhao Feng and felt her head hurt.


    Furthermore, there were two other True Lord Ranks here and the Iron Blood Religion wasn¡¯t simple. It was best not to offend them.


    Such reasons made Elder Bai give up killing Zhao Feng for the time being.

 473 Scarlet Moon Division Leader

    Zhao Feng squinted his eyes as he watched Elder Bai leave with Cang Yuyue.


    ¡°This Elder Bai isn¡¯t from the Cloud area. She must have her intentions in coming to the Broken Moon Clan.¡±


    Hatred filled Lin Tong¡¯s face. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhao Feng had arrived, who knew what Elder Bai would¡¯ve done to him.


    Lin Tong was someone who held a grudge, and now he hated Elder Bai.


    ¡°She¡¯s reached the peak True Lord Rank and is unfathomable. I hope she won¡¯t disrupt the situation in the Cloud area.¡±


    Old Su sighed.


    Both he and True Lord Tiexiao felt pressured when they faced Elder Bai.


    ¡°She should be a reinforcement and a personal bodyguard for Cang Yuyue.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t believe what Lin Tong said. According to his own analysis, Elder Bai should be on the same side as Zhao Feng and the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    ¡°However, no matter what, no outsiders are allowed to mess with this place.¡±


    A coldness appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes. This wasn¡¯t just because he was confident, it was also because Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want others to enter the Cloud area.


    After all this was over, Zhao Feng returned to seclusion. He gained some insights from the battle with Cang Yuyue and needed to consolidate his foundation.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng¡¯s aura was concealed. The Source of True Spirit within his dantian had thickened and the liquid state of True Spirit glistened.


    His Qi of True Spirit was as quick as lightning and as agile as the wind as it hummed throughout his body. A tiny bit of this aura was enough to easily kill those at the True Human Rank.


    A True Lord Rank¡¯s Qi of True Spirit was enormous and just a bit of it could kill those at the Ascended Realm.


    It was the same as how the True Force from someone at the Ascended Realm could easily kill those at the Consolidated Realm.


    ¡°There¡¯s seven great realms in the world of cultivation and unknowingly, I¡¯ve reached the peak of the third.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed as he looked back at the past.


    There were seven great realms from the ancient times till now: Consolidated Realm, Ascended Realm, True Spirit Realm, Origin Core Realm, Void God Realm, Mystic Light Realm, and Heavenly Divine Realm.


    Zhao Feng was currently at the third Sky of the True Spirit Realm ¨C the ¡°True Lord Rank¡± ¨C and he was at the peak of the Cloud area. He was an expert even within the scope of the entire continent.


    A while later, Zhao Feng merged his consciousness into the Ice Imperial Spear, the Earth-Grade Inheritance weapon.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare take out the Ice Imperial Spear after returning to the Azure Flower Continent. He knew how much of a shock an Earth-Grade weapon would bring to the continent, even if it was a broken one.


    There were legends about Earth-Grade weapons.


    In the ancient records, there was once an enormous country ¨C the Daguang Dynasty.


    Dynasties were something that the current Azure Flower Continent would never dream of.


    Currently, the continent had small countries, strong countries, and great countries. The word ¡°dynasty¡± was forbidden.


    However, the ruler of the Daguang Dynasty did not believe this and created a dynasty anyway.


    Not long after, a divine weapon appeared and the Daguang Dynasty was destroyed in one night.


    Ever since then, dynasties became a legend and were forbidden.


    ¡°The Imperial Spear in my hand is a broken Earth-Grade weapon and most of its powers are sleeping¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected.


    After the Ice Imperial Spear merged into his body, it had disappeared. However, Zhao Feng could feel the information contained within.


    The Ice Imperial Spear¡¯s element was extremely compatible with Zhao Feng and could be comprehended any time.


    As time passed, he started to understand how to use his bloodline of ice and water.


    Several days later.


    ¡°Looks like the imperial Spear is in a sleep-like state in my body. If I fully circulate my bloodline, I might be able to barely use its power.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt compelled to try it, but he forcefully pushed this thought away. He didn¡¯t dare to allow the Earth-Grade weapon¡¯s aura to be released.


    It was similar to a mortal suddenly getting a terrifying killing machine. The excitement, expectation, and uneasiness they had.


    Sky Cloud Forest.


    There was a large lake within the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest.


    On this day, a deep roar came from within the depths of the lake.


    With a ¡°huala,¡± a large black python, around twenty yards long, leapt out from the lake. Its powerful and bloody aura made beasts within ten miles tremble in fear.


    Ceng Ceng!


    A male and female also floated out from the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest like ghosts.


    The female was dressed in black and had a very normal face. Her expression was as calm as water.


    ¡°Protector Youmo, your Black Water Python just ate several True Spirit Realm beasts not long ago, and it even ate a True Mystic Rank human. Its aura is much stronger after awakening this time¡­.¡±


    The man in white smiled faintly.


    Si!


    The Black Water Python was like a small mountain as it stood still. It suddenly opened two eyes that were bigger than lanterns, and they were enough to scare people to death.


    ¡°En, I¡¯ve given it the Triple Yin Soil and Scarlet Demonic Water. Its battle power is now comparable to the True Lord Rank.¡±


    A smile appeared on the woman¡¯s face.


    ¡°This is a being comparable to the True Lord Rank. Looks like Protector Youmo will soon be treated with great importance by the upper echelons of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.¡±


    The man in white said with envy.


    ¡°Protector Sanling is too humble. I heard that two True Lord Ranks died one after another to your Sanling Grass Sword Technique half a year ago in a strong country in the North.¡±


    The female obviously didn¡¯t dare to underestimate the man in front of her.


    Ceng Ceng!


    The two stepped onto the Black Water Python and headed away.


    Soon, an old temple appeared ahead.


    ¡°Protector Youmo, Protector Sanling, we¡¯ve been waiting for you two.¡±


    An ugly corpse appeared from inside the temple. It had bloody stripes all over.


    ¡°Protector Blood Corpse.¡±


    Sou Sou Sou!


    The three Protectors flashed into the mysterious temple.


    Inside a broken building.


    ¡°Greetings, three Protectors.¡±


    Several figures rose from the corner and bowed.


    ¡°Three Protectors have already appeared. Apparently, the leader this time is Sub-Division Leader Batie.¡±


    ¡°The situation in the Cloud area is so bad? I heard that Deputy Sub-Division Leader You Long and the cunning Protector Blood Corpse both lost.¡±


    There were dozens of auras within the temple.


    The weakest of these auras was at the True Mystic Rank and many of them were responsible for keeping guard.


    ¡°Do you even need to ask? Deputy Sub-Division Leader You Long¡¯s lost a leg and Protector Blood Corpse¡¯s lost an arm. Apparently, all this was done by a junior¡­.¡±


    Most of them interacted with spiritual sense or secret techniques.


    Palace Lord You Long and Palace Lord Blood Corpse were both in the group.


    The leading seat was empty, and Palace You Long sat on the second seat with a dark expression.


    ¡°Sub-Division Leader is here!¡±


    A trembling voice sounded across the temple and a strict aura filled the chaotic building.


    Hu~


    A deep aura appeared within the temple and summoned gusts of wind.


    The temple seemed to tremble with the descension of such a person.


    ¡°Greetings, Sub-Division leader.¡±


    Dozens of figures within the temple, including Palace Lord You Long, Protector Blood Corpse, and the man and female that had entered not long ago, stood up.


    A large figure appeared on the first seat. The size of his body was comparable to a cow, and this figure had a fat face with small eyes. Its palms were the size of a fan and its muscles were like goosebumps all over its body.


    This person was like the descension of a mountain. Several figures below started to sweat and felt unable to breathe.


    ¡°Sub-Division Leader Batie, I didn¡¯t think you would really come support the Cloud area.¡±


    A cold voice came from Palace Lord You Long.


    ¡°Hmph, You Long, you were someone who had the potential to rise in the religion, yet half of the Sub-Division was defeated by a brat?¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie snorted in dissatisfaction.


    Hearing this, Palace Lord You Long¡¯s face became ugly, but he didn¡¯t erupt.


    In terms of strength and status, Palace Lord You Long had fallen due to his injured leg and he wasn¡¯t much stronger than some Protectors.


    For the next part of the discussion, Palace Lord You Long remained quiet.


    ¡°I heard that Sub-Division Leader Batie is extremely smart and a very good fighter and slew nine True Spirit Realms at once, including a True Lord Rank. We shall listen to your commands from today onward¡­.¡±


    On the other hand, Protector Blood Corpse participated a lot in the discussions.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! We can take care of the Cloud area by ourselves.¡±


    The others all agreed.


    ¡°Bunch of idiots!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s voice made the temple tremble.


    ¡°Hmph! If that brat Zhao Feng was that easy to deal with, do you think You Long would be defeated? Do you think the title of an overwhelming prodigy is just for show?¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie harrumphed and made the others sweat.


    Obviously, he was also not someone that would be easily sucked up to.


    ¡°You Long, what suggestions do you have?¡±


    Sub-DIvision Leader Batie¡¯s eyes landed on the silent Palace Lord You Long.


    You Long spoke, ¡°This subordinate recommends to first guard the two strong countries and thirteen small countries and watch the change. We should take our time.¡±


    ¡°Coward! The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion never had trash like you when we ruled the continent.¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie cursed and spat at Palace Lord You Long.


    Ridiculous!


    Palace Lord You Long was about to storm out but went cold when he raised his head.


    An eye seemed to be in the sky, coldly tracking all of his movements.


    This feeling caused extreme unease.

 474 Toying with Demons

    Palace Lord You Long had a strange feeling when he raised his head. It was as if an eye was coldly looking down at his every action.


    Suddenly, a blue ¡°Eye of Heaven¡± appeared in the clouds and seemed to become one with the Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!¡±


    Palace Lord You Long jumped up in fright.


    ¡°You Long, what the hell is wrong with you?¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie asked unhappily. He had just cursed at You Long and thought that the latter was about to retort.


    Many figures in the building, including Protector Blood Corpse, Protector Youmo, and Protector Sanling, all looked toward Palace Lord You Long in shock.


    Was he really going to go against Sub-Division Leader Batie?


    Everyone was sweating for Palace Lord You Long, obviously thinking things wouldn¡¯t go well for him.


    ¡°Sub-Division Leader, not good! That Zhao Feng¡¯s probably already here, look~~~!¡±


    Palace Lord You Long exclaimed and pointed outside.


    Everyone turned their head and looked around.


    There were no signs of anyone in the moonlight.


    The experts present even opened their spiritual sense, but they found no traces of anything within a radius of a dozen miles.


    A while later, everyone looked toward Palace Lord You Long questioningly.


    ¡°Why is it gone¡­?¡±


    Palace Lord You Long seemed like he had seen a ghost. The Eye of Heaven faded away in the blink of an eye, as if it was just a feeling.


    ¡°Everyone, you must believe me. I know I saw Zhao Feng¡¯s eye just now. He¡¯s watching us with some secret method.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression.


    When one reached his level, they would be confident in their senses.


    However, the people inside the building were somewhat suspicious.


    ¡°Deputy Sub-Division Leader You Long, you¡¯re saying that that brat Zhao Feng is secretly following us?¡±


    A smile appeared on the Sub-Division Leader¡¯s chubby face.


    ¡°His eye has left a deep impression on me. It wasn¡¯t just a feeling.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long stared outside, but the Eye of Heaven didn¡¯t appear again.


    ¡°Hehe, Deputy Sub-Division Leader You Long, why were you the only one to sense it out of all of us here? Could Sub-Division Leader not sense it even with his cultivation? Or how about Protector Youmo, whose forte is in detection and has the best senses among us?¡±


    The man in white, Protector Sanling, smiled.


    Everyone agreed with what he said.


    ¡°I would like to believe what you¡¯ve said. Oh, if only that brat dared to come¡­. I¡¯m just scared he¡¯s too afraid to come, hahaha¡­.¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie roared with laughter and created gusts of wind that blew the sand away.


    The others all started to praise him.


    Palace Lord You Long sat down with a sigh, defeated.


    He couldn¡¯t do anything if they didn¡¯t want to believe him.


    Furthermore, this group of experts didn¡¯t need to fear anything within the Cloud area.


    ¡°In three days¡¯ time, I will lead Protector Youmo, Protector Sanling, and a dozen others to the Broken Moon Clan. We¡¯ll first wipe out the Broken Moon Clan, then take care of the Dragon Killing Alliance and other spawn. As for You Long and Blood Corpse, you two are responsible for cleaning up the remains¡­.¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s voice with filled with power. Although he had asked for the suggestion of others, he didn¡¯t actually listen to anyone and went on with his plan.


    Palace Lord You Long remained expressionless and silent.


    He raised his head instinctively toward the sky outside.


    Suddenly, his heart jumped once more, ¡°It¡¯s appeared!¡±


    A large transparent eye appeared out of nowhere. The discussion within the building was immediately broken as everyone looked outside.


    ¡°What the hell?¡±


    ¡°Deputy Sub-Division Leader You Long, what are you doing?¡±


    Everyone was dissatisfied. There was nothing outside.


    Palace Lord You Long almost coughed up a mouthful of blood. The Eye of Heaven had disappeared in the blink of an eye. Before it disappeared, Palace Lord You Long even saw the playfulness within the eye.


    ¡°You Long, are you doing this on purpose?¡±


    Anger appeared on Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s face. If it were a normal member he would¡¯ve killed them already.


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s face went red and green as he tried to say something.


    ¡°It must be Zhao Feng purposely playing with me.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long decided to not say anything even if the Eye of Heaven appeared again.


    It was like the story of ¡°the boy who cried wolf.¡± No one else would believe him anymore.


    As expected, the Eye of Heaven appeared once more and gazed down coldly.


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s heart dropped. He felt uneasy and pressured.


    However, only he could feel this pressure.


    Palace Lord You Long opened his spiritual sense and scanned everything within dozens of miles, but he could find no traces of Zhao Feng.


    It was hard to imagine what kind of secret technique this Eye of Heaven was.


    Palace Lord You Long didn¡¯t think that this Eye of Heaven was watching just himself.


    Within the building, as time passed, there was finally a second person that felt the presence of the Eye of Heaven.


    Protector Youmo suddenly felt a pressure and an eye that seemed to watch her. She instinctively raised her head toward the night sky outside.


    However, this one glance made her fall into a limitless abyss.


    The Eye of Heaven released a mental energy power that merged with the darkness.


    Protector Youmo suddenly roared and waved her hand, summoning liquid that splattered over everyone within the building.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    The liquid contained a terrifying erosive power that could turn normal True Spirit Realms into a puddle of water.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    Bone-chilling screams came from within the building.


    This was a stronghold of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and its Protectors were among the top battle-powers.


    Almost ten people were injured by Protector Youmo¡¯s attack, and five or six died.


    ¡°Protector Youmo, what the fuck are you doing?¡±


    Protector Sanling, Protector Blood Corpse, and company were all hit.


    _Come!_


    Killing intent appeared in Protector Youmo¡¯s eyes as she waved her jade-like hand, summoning a twenty-yard-long black python.


    Boom~~~~


    The building they were in crumbled and the array¡¯s power wasn¡¯t strong enough to block the True Lord Rank beast¡¯s attack.


    ¡°Dodge quickly! This black python¡¯s comparable to the True Lord Rank.¡±


    ¡°What the fuck is wrong with Protector Youmo? Quickly restrain her!¡±


    ¡°Argghhhhh!¡±


    Protector Youmo and the black python stared to attack the entire temple.


    Ceng! Sou Sou!


    The members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion quickly evaded in panic.


    Protector Youmo and the black python were both comparable to two True Lord Ranks. Protector Blood Corpse and company ran away faster than rabbits.


    ¡°Hmph, everyone should believe me now.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long snickered and looked toward the sky.


    ¡°Oh my god¡­.¡±


    ¡°That eye¡­.¡±


    The members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion drew in cold breaths.


    The Eye of Heaven made their hearts tremble.


    Hu~~ Boom~~~~


    Protector Youmo and the black python started to attack everyone in sight.


    ¡°Stop her!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie roared as a large axe appeared in his hand. It was two or three yards long and pitch-black, and it released a bloodthirsty aura.


    Dominating Heaven Slash!


    The large axe slashed through the air and the wind pressure that was created made it hard to breathe for the other members.


    Whoosh!


    The small-mountain-sized black python was cut in two by Sub-Division Leader Batie.


    With a boom, the python turned into a small mountain of meat.


    The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion members watched with shock.


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s power was terrifying and the black python that was comparable to the True Lord Rank was cut into pieces like a cucumber.


    One had to know, large beasts had a strong lifeforce and a lot of time and energy were required to kill them.


    For example, the Towering Tree Yao within the Purple Saint Ruins was so.


    However, Sub-Division Leader Batie specialized in heavy weapons and was an exception.


    Several breaths later, after the initial chaos, Protector Youmo was restrained by the others.


    This time, Sub-Division Leader Batie didn¡¯t do anything. His heavy weapon was too strong and would accidentally kill or injure someone. The black python¡¯s threat was too big and it had to be put down with one axe.


    After all the chaos, the temple they were in had been destroyed. In the moonlight, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion members were standing around.


    The expressions of Sub-Division Leader Batie and the other members were all very ugly.


    Many of them glanced up toward the sky uneasily, but the Eye of Heaven disappeared long ago.


    ¡°You Long, if you already found the brat, why didn¡¯t you tell us!?¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie roared.


    Palace Lord You Long almost exploded from anger as he yelled back, ¡°I already warned you twice, but who was the one that said, ¡®I¡¯m just scared that he won¡¯t come¡¯!?¡±


    ¡°You¡­!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie howled as he raised the giant bloody axe.


    ¡°Sub-Division Leader, please calm down.¡±


    Protector Sanling, Protector Blood Corpse, and company¡¯s expressions all changed.


    ¡°Sub-Division Leader, now¡¯s not the time to fight. That brat¡¯s eye bloodline specializes in finding flaws in emotions. Protector Youmo was tricked by him just now.¡±


    Protector Blood Corpse quickly warned.


    Hearing this, the hearts of the other members shook.


    Everyone saw what happened to Protector Youmo.


    Among the group, Protector Youmo specialized in mental energy techniques and controlling beasts. Yet an expert such as her had been controlled by the Eye of Heaven?


    ¡°Search! Dig up the ground if you have to and bring that brat here!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred as he roared.


    An hour later, the members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had searched over a hundred miles, but there was no sign of any unusual auras or other traces of any kind.

 475 Thousand-Mile Pursui

    A thousand miles away, on top of a mountain.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s hair was blowing in the wind. His expression was frozen like a corpse.


    On his shoulder was a silver-grey cat that yawned lazily.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s dim eyes suddenly lit up and his sight returned to his body.


    ¡°Although the energy required to use the Eye of Heaven increases with distance, its power actually increases.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was slightly weak, but he was happy. If the members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion knew the situation Zhao Feng was currently in, who knew how shocked and helpless they would be.


    To be able to use the Eye of Heaven from a thousand miles away... this already exceeded the imagination of many.


    On the other hand, the energy expended was ten times more than usual.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul had surpassed normal True Lord Ranks after absorbing the Wood Spirit Soul Essence, and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s evolution allowed Zhao Feng to obtain better control, reducing the energy expended.


    After using the Eye of Heaven, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t continue pressing forward, even though he still had some energy remaining.


    He sat down and started to recover his bloodline power.


    While he was recovering his bloodline power, Zhao Feng also comprehended the information within the Ice Imperial Spear and Wind Lightning Stone Tablet.


    A thousand miles away, the ancient temple had been reduced to rubble.


    The members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion were uneasy. Even though there were many experts present, they didn¡¯t feel safe.


    ¡°Reporting to Sub-Division Leader, the top trackers here have all used several secret techniques but haven¡¯t found anything unusual.¡±


    A black figure half-kneeled on the ground.


    Sou! Sou!


    A couple others returned as well, with nothing to report.


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie roared like a monster in the night.


    ¡°Sub-Division Leader, this subordinate is afraid that Zhao Feng¡¯s secret technique can be controlled from a very far distance.¡±


    Protector Youmo said carefully in a weak tone. She had just been controlled by Zhao Feng¡¯s eye technique and caused a lot of damage to the Sub-Division. Her black python also died.


    She was scared and hateful of the owner of the eye.


    ¡°That might be true. We¡¯ve got a lot of people and Sub-Division Leader¡¯s battle power is unparalleled. No matter how strong Zhao Feng is, he wouldn¡¯t dare to come.¡±


    Protector Blood Corpse¡¯s eyes twinkled and he nodded his head.


    Many of the experts here were knowledgeable and agreed with this theory.


    ¡°True¡­ after all, the Eye of Heaven isn¡¯t a physical form. But there are some problems. How did Zhao Feng know we were here?¡±


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s eyes coldly scanned over the members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    The hair of many members straightened as they were stared at by Palace Lord You Long.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying that¡­ we have a spy?¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie asked coldly as he licked his lips gruesomely.


    The members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion instantly looked toward each other with wariness.


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s suspicions made the atmosphere heavy. Many people tensed up and didn¡¯t dare to relax.


    This lasted for half a night, but the Eye of Heaven didn¡¯t reappear.


    Sub-Division Leader Batie started to question the members separately.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    A scream sounded as light started to appear in the sky.


    ¡°This is the third ¡®spy¡¯ Sub-Division Leader has killed.¡±


    The Protectors looked at each other.


    ¡°Being suspicious like this isn¡¯t the best plan.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long shook his head.


    He didn¡¯t know the source of all this was him. If it weren¡¯t for the God¡¯s Eye Mark on him, this place couldn¡¯t have been located by Zhao Feng so precisely.


    On the second day, as the sun was rising.


    Those from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion went on their way, all of them tired.


    ¡°The best defense is a good offense. I don¡¯t believe that that brat won¡¯t come out if we go to the Broken Moon Clan.¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie finally stopped the questioning and decided to attack.


    The Protectors didn¡¯t argue. Currently, the enemy was in darkness while they were in the light. This was the best tactic.


    Sou Sou Sou!


    The members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion travelled through the air on their flying steeds.


    For the next half-day, the Eye of Heaven didn¡¯t appear.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, that brat¡¯s eye bloodline obviously carries a heavy price and can¡¯t be used continuously.¡±


    A few members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion smiled.


    The tense atmosphere started to relax.


    On the morning of the second day, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion members all felt an invisible mental energy pressure.


    Looking up at the sky, an Eye of Heaven appeared and was surveying them coldly.


    ¡°It¡¯s appeared again!¡±


    The hearts of those from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion shook. Most of them were unable to breathe.


    ¡°Everyone, watch out!¡±


    The entire Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion acted as if they were facing a powerful foe.


    ¡°Junior, if you don¡¯t come here, I will kill everyone in your clan.¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie revealed a cruel smile and threatened.


    Shua~~~


    He waved the rusty axe in his hand and slashed upward.


    Although Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s attack was very powerful and could slay normal True Lord Ranks, it passed through the Eye of Heaven without doing any damage.


    This time, the Eye of Heaven only lasted two or three breaths and didn¡¯t do anything obvious toward the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven had a tinge of playfulness in it before it disappeared.


    _Gone?_


    The members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion let out a breath, but in the next instant, the flying steeds under their feet all screeched and started to charge toward the ground as if they were crazy.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Everyone, watch out!¡±


    The entire Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion group was caught off guard and they were injured because of the flying steeds.


    Sou Sou Boom Boom~~~


    These powerful flying beasts rushed down from the sky and shattered their own bones.


    Even Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s Flaming Giant Lion was included.


    ¡°My lion!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s eyes bulged as he went crazy and howled at the sky. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within a ten-mile radius started to tremble and the powerful aura made the other True Lord Ranks uneasy.


    The Flaming Giant Lion was a precious beast that was comparable to a True Lord Rank. However, it just threw him off and charged straight toward the ground, becoming a pile of blood and flesh.


    How much pressure would there be if one charged straight down from the sky at such a height?


    Putting those at the True Lord Rank aside, even those at the Origin Core Realm would break into pieces if they had no defense.


    Although the Eye of Heaven didn¡¯t harm any members this time, it killed most of their flying steeds.


    The True Spirit Realm was just the learning stage of flying. One needed a flying steed to travel long distances.


    This was especially the case for those at the True Human Rank. After a couple hundred miles, their Qi of True Spirit would be fully expended.


    Only those at the True Lord Rank had a thick and dense enough Source of True Spirit to fly several thousand miles at once.


    A while later, the members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion regained their calm, but they all had sullen expressions.


    After all, many of their flying steeds had been with them for years and were a companion.


    ¡°Reporting to Sub-Division Leader, our main flying steeds have all died. If we want to change flying steeds it¡¯ll take us another half a month to reach the Broken Moon Clan.¡±


    A member said with a depressed expression.


    The Protectors and the other experts all had solemn expectations and felt troubled.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t injure anyone, he had slowed their progress by more than half.


    This meant that they would need at least twice as much time to reach the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng also specializes in beast taming?¡±


    Protector Youmo¡¯s eyes were full of shock.


    If that wasn¡¯t the case, nothing could explain how Zhao Feng could force the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion members¡¯ steeds to commit suicide.


    After a certain amount of travelling, the members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion kept distance between themselves as they surveyed the sky.


    In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.


    In this amount of time, the Eye of Heaven had only appeared once more, but it had disappeared after half a breath.


    Even then, this made their hearts tremble.


    ¡°I¡¯ll fly over there and destroy the Broken Moon Clan and rip Zhao Feng¡¯s skin off and make him feel unimaginable pain¡­.¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s face was filled with cruelness.


    On the night of the third day.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven appeared out of nowhere, but its aura was extremely stealthy.


    ¡°It¡¯s appeared!¡±


    There were always members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion on watch.


    Shu~~~


    A piercing screech sounded in the air. It was as if a sword was cutting the wind.


    ¡°Watch out!¡±


    Palace Lord You Long suddenly felt a familiar feeling and instinctively opened his Qi of True Spirit.


    However, when the sound of the wind entered their eyes, it was too late.


    Whoosh!


    A large half-transparent blade of wind slashed forward.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    The man in white, Protector Sanling, screamed.


    Before he was able to summon his Qi of True Spirit, his body had been cut in half.


    Sii!


    The others all drew in a cold breath.


    ¡°Protector Sanling is dead¡­.¡±


    Everyone felt their bones go cold. It was as if they were walking over a canyon on a metal string that could snap at any time.


    Shua!


    After making the first kill, the Eye of Heaven disappeared with a mocking glint.


    The members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion let out a breath, but something happened immediately afterward.


    Wind Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye!


    The Eye of Heaven appeared once more, but this time it turned azure and its aura was different.


    Phoosh!


    A half-transparent flame landed on Protector Youmo and exploded with a ¡°bang!¡±


    ¡°Argh~~!¡±


    The woman screamed as her body was enveloped by wind and lightning. The attack passed through the physical world and into her soul.


    Everyone¡¯s scalp tingled. Protector Youmo only lasted a breath or two before turning into dust.


    She didn¡¯t have Palace Lord You Long¡¯s strong bloodline, and Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning True Flame¡¯s power had increased after reaching the True Lord Rank.

 476 Wind Lightning Tornado

    In just a few breaths¡¯ time, the Eye of Heaven killed two Protectors of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven¡¯s aura faded as it disappeared.


    The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion members were full of fear and uneasiness.


    Death could descend at any moment.


    ¡°Come out and fight us if you have the courage, junior!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie screamed with bulging eyes as his peak True Lord Rank aura created storms within a ten-mile radius.


    Protector Youmo and Protector Sanling¡¯s deaths were the equivalent of Sub-Division Leader Batie losing both his left and right arm.


    Within the crowd, two True Lord Ranks, Palace Lord You Long and Protector Blood Corpse, looked at each other with shock.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline power is even stronger than before.¡±


    ¡°Such progress¡­. Has he reached the True Lord Rank?¡±


    The two Palace Lords couldn¡¯t help but guess.


    They had both fought with Zhao Feng before and knew about his eye bloodline firsthand.


    Of course, Zhao Feng reaching the True Lord Rank wasn¡¯t a surprise to them. However, they wouldn¡¯t have expected Zhao Feng to jump straight to the early-stage True Lord Rank.


    On a tree, several hundred miles away.


    ¡°Hmph! Who knows how many of you will still be alive when you reach the Broken Moon Clan?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was slightly weak, but a cold snicker appeared on his face.


    Over the past few days, he would replenish his energy before it all ran out. Then he would reach his peak state and attack again, which allowed every attack to be successful.


    After killing two Protectors of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline power was very low.


    For the next two days, Zhao Feng started to recover, waiting to attack again.


    The remaining targets were more troublesome.


    Sub-Division Leader Batie had reached the peak True Lord Rank and his battle power was maybe comparable to the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion.


    Palace Lord You Long and Protector Blood Corpse both had ¡°thick skin¡± and their defense was extremely strong. This was especially so for Palace Lord You Long. Killing him was perhaps the hardest task.


    In the blink of an eye, two or three days passed by.


    The members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion were like lost chicks as they passed through the Sky Cloud Forest.


    Over the last couple days, they were tense. No one knew when the next Eye of Heaven would appear.


    ¡°Calculating the time, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline power should have recovered by now.¡±


    Protector Blood Corpse went on guard. According to the pattern, he was most likely to be next.


    Sub-Division Leader Batie and Palace Lord You Long¡¯s strength were obviously better; thus, they would be harder to kill.


    ¡°There¡¯s no path of retreat. Even if we retreat now, we can¡¯t escape him unless he allows it.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long felt helpless.


    There was still a chance to fight Zhao Feng before he broke through to the True Lord Rank, but now that Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had increased and he had this mysterious ¡°Eye of Heaven,¡± Palace Lord You Long felt helpless.


    No one knew how to deal with this Eye of Heaven, even though they were all extremely knowledgeable.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng can track us no matter where we go.¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s eyes glanced around and found something was wrong.


    Palace Lord You Long predicted that there was a spy in the group, but the remaining members were all loyal subordinates.


    At night.


    Shua!


    A familiar mental energy pressure appeared in the sky.


    The Eye of Heaven had appeared once more.


    The hearts of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion members sped up as cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.


    Batie, You Long, and Protector Blood Corpse all acted as if they were facing a great foe.


    Unexpectedly, the Eye of Heaven didn¡¯t attack one of those three directly this time.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    ¡°Junior, come here and die!¡±


    Almost half of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion elites suddenly charged toward one target with red eyes.


    _Kill~~~~~!_


    These members all charged toward Sub-Division Leader Batie without any care.


    _What?_


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    Most of the attacking members were at the True Mystic Rank.


    Eye of the Heart!


    The Eye of Heaven released a mysterious mental energy power that created illusions and dreams.


    Bam~~~~~ Shu! Shu!


    Sub-Division Leader Batie roared and waved his giant axe, splitting the closest elites in half.


    The remaining members of the Demonic Religion couldn¡¯t help but go cold.


    With Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s roar and powerful slash, the remaining members that were controlled regained their consciousness like they had woken up from a dream.


    Terrifying.


    The remaining group felt uneasy.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven disappeared once more from their sight.


    ¡°Sub-Division Leader, if this continues, how many of us will still be alive when we reach the Broken Moon Clan?¡±


    An old member asked bitterly.


    The three experts went silent.


    ¡°A tiny Cloud area has such a terrifying new star. I¡¯ve underestimated the title of ¡®overwhelming prodigy.¡¯¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s hands trembled as his expression kept on changing.


    It didn¡¯t matter if he was feeling regret now. No matter what they did, they couldn¡¯t escape the Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°If there really is a spy among us, then maybe we should split up.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long suggested.


    ¡°No, we can¡¯t. We¡¯re more likely to be hunted down, and everyone apart from Sub-Division Leader will probably be killed.¡±


    Protector Blood Corpse immediately retorted. The chance of Zhao Feng killing him was far too high if they split up.


    ¡°We can¡¯t retreat. Charge toward the Broken Moon Clan!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie roared. His hatred, anger, and killing intent reached a peak. He didn¡¯t know that splitting up actually was the best tactic.


    Once they split up, Zhao Feng could only track Palace Lord You Long due to the God¡¯s Eye Mark.


    Trying to find someone in this enormous Sky Cloud Forest was like trying to find a needle in the ocean.


    Over the next few days, the Eye of Heaven didn¡¯t appear.


    One day¡­ two days¡­ three days¡­


    In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. These five days felt like five long years to the remaining members.


    ¡°It still hasn¡¯t appeared?¡±


    ¡°Is Zhao Feng being nice? He¡¯s not going to strike the iron while it¡¯s hot?¡±


    The Demonic Religion members were puzzled, but they didn¡¯t dare to let their guard down.


    On the sixth day, on top of a hill near the edges of the forest.


    _Hmm?_


    Sub-Division Leader Batie seemed to sense something as he locked onto a hill.


    On top of the hill, a blue-haired youth bathed in the sun lazily.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie paused. He didn¡¯t recognize the youth.


    ¡°Zhao¡­ Zhao Feng!!¡±


    You Long and Protector Blood Corpse both exclaimed in shock.


    They didn¡¯t know whether to be happy or scared right now.


    ¡°Zhao Feng? You¡¯re that Zhao Feng? Hahahaha~~~~~!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s oily face twisted as his anger over the past couple days found release.


    Protector Blood Corpse and You Long were both stunned and didn¡¯t dare to attack.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng dares to fight us head on?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s indeed reached the True Lord Rank¡­ wait, how is this possible¡­? The early-stage True Lord Rank?¡±


    The two glanced at each other with shock and wariness.


    ¡°Dominating Heaven Raging Demon Slash!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s large body disappeared with the howling of wind.


    Although he was an expert that focused on strength, his attack was as fast as lightning.


    Huang! Boom~~~~


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s giant axe demolished the small hill.


    Crack~~~~


    A deep chasm appeared, extending several miles.


    At this point in time, dust and dirt blew everywhere as everything within a couple miles was blocked.


    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re indeed worthy of being a Sub-Division Leader of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.¡±


    A sharp hum of lightning and a screech of wind sounded.


    A ripple of wind and lightning could be seen under the blue-haired youth.


    ¡°What terrifying speed. He¡¯s at least twice as fast as before!¡±


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s heart dropped. Although Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s attack wave was extremely powerful, it didn¡¯t hit Zhao Feng.


    Qiu~~~~


    An arc of wind and lightning twisted throughout the sky.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Tornado!!¡±


    An eye-catching ball of wind and lightning started to form in the air, creating a chaotic storm of striking lightning and piercing wind.


    The enormous Wind Lightning Tornado descended from the sky and extended across a half-mile diameter, enveloping everyone from the Demonic Religion.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    Screams sounded continuously.


    In just an instant, more than half of the Demonic Religion cultivators were injured.


    Sou! Sou!


    Palace Lord You Long and Protector Blood Corpse roared as they charged out of the Wind Lightning Tornado, but the weaker Protector Blood Corpse paled and his entire body was scorched.


    ¡°Over the past half-month, I was also comprehending the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet and the Ice Imperial Spear. This Wind Lightning Tornado was created from the former and it¡¯s a wide ranged attack that is extremely strong.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body was floating in the air.


    The intents of wind and lightning around him were much more profound than before.


    Another reason why Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye over the past five days was because it was becoming weird.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the pond had finally reached 10 yards.


    However, while the surface of the pond was extremely smooth, a chaotic force was brewing underneath it.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline was just a step away from reaching another level. It was due to this that Zhao Feng gave up killing the members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion with his Eye of Heaven and came here personally.


    ¡°En, it¡¯s time to test out my comprehension.¡±


    The wind and lightning under Zhao Feng¡¯s feet shook as he disappeared with a flash.


    Dominating Sky Limitless Slash!


    An enormous flash of axe-light twisted the air as it struck toward where Zhao Feng was. The power contained within it was enough to kill several True Lord Ranks.

 477 One Against Three

    Dominating Sky Limitless Slash!


    The axe-light flashed by Zhao Feng¡¯s side.


    Shu~~~


    The blue-haired youth appeared from the other side with an arc of lightning.


    ¡°This Scarlet Moon Sub-Division Leader¡¯s strength has reached Ye Yanyu¡¯s level¡­.¡±


    The ripple of wind and lightning surrounding Zhao Feng faded in color.


    Although the attack just now didn¡¯t hit Zhao Feng directly, just a bit of it was enough to kill those at the peak True Mystic Rank.


    Other cultivators at the peak True Lord Rank weren¡¯t willing to clash against those that specialized in power like Sub-Division Leader Batie.


    Of course, Zhao Feng had been comprehending the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet and his offense was pretty strong too.


    Qiu~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed with a blurry light and disappeared. His speed made normal True Lord Ranks helpless.


    In the next instant, the humming of wind and lightning sounded from behind Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s head.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Crackling Strike!¡±


    A blurry blue-haired figure summoned a giant blade of wind and lightning, about seven or eight yards long, that crackled loudly.


    Shua! Shuuuu~~~~


    When the blade slashed through the air, thunder boomed and sparks flew everywhere.


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s expression became solemn as his giant battle-axe turned into a wall that blocked Zhao Feng¡¯s attack, producing a loud explosion. The area the two were in was instantly covered with dust, sand, and wind.


    ¡°Retreat quickly¡­.¡±


    The nearby members of the Demonic Religion started to run as several of them were killed from the clash.


    After the dust settled.


    Qiu~~


    The arc of lightning and wind once again flew into the sky. Another blade formed in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand and he had a smile on his face.


    On the other hand, Sub-Division Leader Batie was ruffled. Although he wasn¡¯t injured, there were some scorch-marks on his clothes.


    ¡°Dominating Heaven Ten Destruction Strike!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie roared and sent beams of light. The beams formed a Ê® shape, the character for the number ten.


    Wind Lightning Explosion!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel any fear at all. He compressed the blade in his hand and threw it through the air, creating waves of lightning that swept across a half-mile radius.


    In just a few breaths, the two experts had clashed several times. Both of them fought offense with offense, neither of them giving up.


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s battle power was unparalleled and he could suppress others with his strength alone, but Zhao Feng relied on his speed and was like a ghost that flew freely across the sky.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t looking good¡­ Zhao Feng¡¯s already grown to such a stage that he¡¯s comparable to a Sub-Division Leader?¡±


    Shock appeared on Protector Blood Corpse and You Long¡¯s faces.


    They were wary and fearful of Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline and guessed that Zhao Feng¡¯s forte was his eye. His other attributes shouldn¡¯t have been very strong.


    However, this scene in front of them once again changed their view of Zhao Feng.


    Sub-Division Leader Batie roared angrily, but he was unable to gain any advantage.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attack was as fast as lightning. No one could see him.


    Although Sub-Division Leader Batie had unparalleled offense and strength, Zhao Feng was controlling the battle.


    All of his attacks were aimed at Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s minor flaws.


    He would take advantage of even the slightest flaw, forcing Sub-Division Leader Batie to use more Qi of True Spirit.


    ¡°What the fuck are you two doing!?¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie howled.


    In this battle, Sub-Division Leader Batie was extremely frustrated. Although he was extremely strong, Zhao Feng was leading him around by the nose.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Protector Blood Corpse and Palace Lord You Long didn¡¯t hesitate anymore and turned into two streaks of light that charged toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hehe, this one will beat you three until you admit your defeat in both heart and body.¡±


    The laugh of a youth sounded amidst humming lightning and wind.


    ¡°Arrogant!¡±


    ¡°Junior, die!¡±


    Protector Blood Corpse and Palace Lord You Long entered the battle.


    Qiu~~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s ripple of wind and lightning suddenly shone and released countless rings of wind and lightning in every direction.


    The two Protectors felt a powerful pressure and numbing sensation when they got close.


    ¡°Dominating Heaven Limitless Slash!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s axe flashed once again as he teamed up with the other two.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and exchanged blows with Protector Blood Corpse and Palace Lord You Long.


    Bang!


    With the explosion of lightning, Protector Blood Corpse was kicked aside by Zhao Feng and his body started to smoke.


    ¡°This aura of wind and lightning intent¡­¡±


    Palace Lord You Long felt a terrifying aura of wind and lightning envelope his body when his palm clashed with Zhao Feng¡¯s. His body was pushed back dozens of yards and felt numb.


    In just one or two moves, Zhao Feng had injured the two Protectors.


    ¡°Cunning brat!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s axe flew forward, but its power was restricted due to him worrying about Palace Lord You Long and Protector Blood Corpse.


    Zhao Feng stood still without retreating as his hair became calm.


    Weng~~


    A layer of running water and lightning appeared over Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng clapped his hands together as he circulated his bloodline power to summon a wave of water that clashed head-on with Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s axe.


    In that instant, the original calm-as-a-lake youth became a tsunami.


    Boom~~~~~


    The axe and Zhao Feng intertwined mid-air. These two apocalyptic powers competed against each other.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s bloodline power is so strong¡­.¡±


    Although Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s blow only used 80% of his full strength, it was blocked head-on by Zhao Feng, and he felt the erosion of wind and lightning pushing forward.


    ¡°The Water Bloodline originates from the ocean. It can be soft or hard, and it can devour the Heavens and Earth.¡±


    Information from the Ice Imperial Spear surfaced in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. It was related to Ice, but it included Water as well because the two were originally the same anyway.


    Water was more powerful and unfathomable. Ice was created from water, and to truly understand ice, one must understand water first.


    Zhao Feng was currently comprehending and using his Water Bloodline battle-tactics.


    In the air, Zhao Feng and Sub-Division Leader Batie were locked together.


    The giant axe couldn¡¯t push forward anymore. Zhao Feng¡¯s two hands were like the ocean that could absorb everything.


    Although Sub-Division Leader Batie was very strong, his strength was gradually decreasing because of Zhao Feng¡¯s Water Bloodline.


    ¡°You two, hurry up and come over!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie circulated his Qi of True Spirit and roared.


    Protector Blood Corpse and Palace Lord You Long¡¯s eyes lit up.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng and Sub-Division Leader Batie were in a stalemate. This was a good chance.


    ¡°Die!!¡±


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Protector Blood Corpse and Palace Lord You Long flew toward Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right.


    The interference of two True Lord Ranks would be enough to turn the tide.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. Arrogant brat, prepare to die under my axe!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie laughed smugly. His muscles were like goosebumps and radiated a terrifying power. In front of this, Zhao Feng seemed infinitely small.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he had comprehended some battle skills from his Water Bloodline, he wouldn¡¯t be able to resist such a powerful force.


    Right at this moment, the two True Lord Ranks reached Zhao Feng.


    ¡°From Water to Ice!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s blue hair blew as a chilling coldness spread.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly turned the color of ice and his bloodline power became bone-chillingly cold.


    ¡°Cold?¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie felt a weird coldness.


    His axe started to freeze as a chill penetrated into his body.


    ¡°Ice Sealed Death Zone!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed as a large majestic figure, wearing a crown and holding a giant black sword, appeared and sat on a throne.


    Hu~~


    A terrifying cold blue wind swept by and devoured everything within several dozen yards.


    Palace Lord You Long, who was at the front, felt numb and started to freeze.


    No matter how much he struggled, he couldn¡¯t resist the terrifying bloodline power of turning Water to Ice.


    With Zhao Feng as the center, everything within fifty yards was engulfed by the cold blue wind while lightning flew everywhere. It was enough to restrain normal True Lord Ranks.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Protector Blood Corpse and Palace Lord You Long¡¯s hearts both shook. Their bodies went cold and started to feel numb at the same time.


    Protector Blood Corpse¡¯s cultivation was lower and he barely managed to last a breath or two before starting to freeze.


    He was already a corpse and couldn¡¯t fight back much against the petrification of the cold.


    In addition, even Sub-Division Leader Batie, locked together with Zhao Feng, started to freeze. His expression of fear and shock was obvious.


    Time passed by slowly.


    One breath¡­ two breaths¡­ three breaths.


    Everything within a few dozen yards of Zhao Feng was sealed in ice.


    This included Zhao Feng himself, but the cold light surrounding him occasionally turned to water.


    ¡°This Ice Sealed Death Zone is created not only with the information within the Ice Imperial Spear, it also has the help of Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s secret bloodline technique.¡±


    Zhao Feng was like a magnificent ice statue as he sealed the three experts in ice.


    Back at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Goddess Bing Wei had ¡°embraced¡± him in order to use this move, and she almost succeeded in sealing Zhao Feng.


    This scene appeared once more, but it succeeded this time around.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s main target was the Sub-Division Leader of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    His two hands had been holding back the axe while this extremely fast and powerful skill activated from such a close distance.


    The Sub-Division Leader, Protector Blood Corpse, and Palace Lord You Long all fell into this trap.

 478 Breakthrough of the Eye 1

    It was sunset, and the dusk light was reflecting off the mesmerizing crystal-blue ice.


    There were four figures sealed in ice. None of them moved.


    This situation lasted for an entire hour.


    Sou Sou Sou~~~~


    More than a dozen figures suddenly flew over.


    ¡°Old Su, look~~~!¡±


    A youth pointed toward the ice and exclaimed.


    Next to the youth was a beauty in blue. She had an elegant and calm aura.


    ¡°Brother Zhao¡¯s in that ice!¡±


    The female in blue¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    ¡°Jin¡¯er, don¡¯t get too close!¡±


    Old Su stopped the group.


    A bone-chilling coldness was emitting from the small ice mountain, and the cold gusts of wind that were blowing within a one-mile radius were like sharp knives.


    Those under the True Spirit Realm couldn¡¯t even get close to the ice. The cold alone was enough to kill them.


    ¡°Master, why is Brother Zhao sealed in ice with those people? And who are they?¡±


    Princess Jin managed to calm down as she stared at the blue-haired youth.


    Old Su inspected the area for a while and his expression grew solemn. Shock filled his eyes.


    All the members of the Dragon Killing Alliance held their breath. They knew that Old Su knew something.


    A long while later, Old Su took a deep breath and was full of admiration and respect. He spoke, ¡°Zhao Feng, I didn¡¯t think you would be able to reach such a level where you could freeze three experts of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, including a Sub-DIvision Leader, in ice.¡±


    Scarlet Moon Sub-Division leader? Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion!?


    Everyone revealed looks of fear. They never would have imagined that the three sealed together with Zhao Feng would have such a background.


    ¡°Brother Zhao fought with these three and finally sealed them away, but he sealed himself as well¡­.¡±


    Princess Jin¡¯s face was filled with joy and worry as she stared intently at the blue-haired youth.


    Scarlet Moon Sub-Division Leader. A person of this level only appeared in myths.


    Several hundred years ago, the twelve Divisions and one-hundred-eight Sub-Divisions of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion swept across the continent and brought about its greatest glory.


    At their peak, a Sub-Division could destroy several strong countries with ease.


    The scene in front of them was a battle between an overwhelming prodigy and a Scarlet Moon Sub-Division Leader.


    All of this was incredible. They couldn¡¯t help but become excited.


    ¡°Everyone, retreat. Don¡¯t come within a ten-mile radius.¡±


    Old Su ordered. It wasn¡¯t hard for him to sense the aura of life within the ice, especially Zhao Feng in the middle.


    Princess Jin and company retreated without hesitation. They knew that a battle of those at the level of a Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Sub-Division Leader wasn¡¯t something they could be useful in.


    The only person who had the ability to do so was Old Su.


    However, Old Su gazed solemnly at the four and didn¡¯t dare to make any rash moves.


    ¡°Zhao Feng must¡¯ve paid a heavy price to seal them in ice and it¡¯s mainly succeeded. If I rashly do something¡­¡±


    Old Su¡¯s expression was solemn.


    The other three were still resisting. Although the Scarlet Moon Sub-Division Leader was sealed in ice, there were still strong surges of True Force within his body.


    On the other hand, Protector Blood Corpse seemed to have fainted, while Palace Lord You Long¡¯s bloodline was still fighting back.


    ¡°I would¡¯ve succeeded already if it was just the Sub-Division Leader, but the difficulty has doubled with Palace Lord You Long and Protector Blood Corpse. Especially this You Long¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured in his heart while he was in the center of it all.


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s bloodline was extremely strong and was able to resist Zhao Feng¡¯s cold bloodline.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, do you need any help?¡±


    Old Su asked through True Force.


    Hmm?


    Only then did Zhao Feng realize Old Su and company had arrived. He was focused on sealing the other three and wasn¡¯t paying any attention to the outside world.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­¡±


    Old Su¡¯s arrival changed Zhao Feng¡¯s plan.


    He had to leave some tricks up his sleeve just in case. He couldn¡¯t let his eye bloodline or Yuan Qi be fully exhausted.


    However, with the help of another True Lord Rank, he could act more freely.


    ¡°Old Su, you remain behind and tell the others to retreat a hundred miles.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded in Old Su¡¯s head.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Old Su immediately ordered those from the Dragon Killing Alliance to back away.


    He also retreated by ten miles and killed some escaping members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion on the way.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, Zhao Feng, let¡¯s see how much longer your bloodline power can last. I¡¯ve been at the True Spirit Realm for a hundred years and my Source of True Spirit is double yours. You¡¯ll definitely lose if this battle drags out.¡±


    Although the Sub-Division Leader couldn¡¯t speak, he could interact through his spiritual sense.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. The difference between the two in terms of their Source of True Spirit was indeed big.


    ¡°From Ice to Water!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline aura and left eye suddenly changed.


    The freezing aura suddenly melted and turned into calm water. Even the surrounding ice was melting.


    ¡°The ice is melting?¡±


    Joy flashed across the Sub-Division Leader Batie and Palace Lord You Long¡¯s faces.


    What made the two surprised was that this was done by Zhao Feng himself.


    Sword of Water Moon!


    Zhao Feng circulated his remaining bloodline power and formed a sword made of water.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes sharpened as he stabbed forward.


    The sword of water passed smoothly through the melting ice.


    Shu~~~


    The sword hit the Sub-Division Leader.


    ¡°Wu¡­¡±


    The Sub-Division Leader¡¯s body froze. He was just an instant away from breaking completely away from the ice when the sword pierced him.


    ¡°Bloodthirsty Demonic Body!¡±


    The Scarlet Moon Sub-Division Leader¡¯s eyes went red as his Qi of True Spirit started to boil. A dark blood-colored flame erupted from him.


    On top of that, a demonic tattoo surfaced on his skin that strengthened his body and aura.


    Crack!


    Within a powerful eruption, the water and ice surrounding the Scarlet Moon Sub-Division Leader shattered.


    ¡°From Water to Ice!¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated the last bit of his bloodline power to turn the sword of water, which had pierced into the Sub-Division Leader¡¯s body, into ice.


    Shuu~~


    The sword turned into ice and stabbed through the Sub Division Leader¡¯s chest.


    ¡°Arghhhh~~~~~!¡±


    The Sub-Division Leader howled and used a secret technique that shattered and melted the sword of ice in his body.


    However, he was already severely injured, and death was close.


    If he didn¡¯t have a Life Returning Grass or Elixir of Life or something similar, he would die even if a Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm descended.


    Qiu~~~ Sou!


    The Sub-Division Leader turned into a streak of light that sped off into the sky.


    _Run!_


    Palace Lord You Long was the second to use a secret technique and flee into the Sky Cloud Forest.


    ¡°Save me!¡±


    Protector Blood Corpse had just awakened and his body was still cold. He currently couldn¡¯t move and was trying his best to circulate his Qi of True Spirit.


    Blade of Wind and Lightning!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and sliced Protector Blood Corpse in two.


    After that, his eyes locked onto the two that were escaping.


    ¡°The Sub-Division Leader¡¯s injury is critical and he will most likely die. Palace Lord You Long still has seventy percent of his full strength.¡±


    Killing intent blossomed from Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    At this moment in time, the Sub-Division Leader and Palace Lord You Long were running in different directions.


    ¡°I can¡¯t let either one of them go.¡±


    Zhao Feng was very decisive. Although the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯s Sub-Division Leader shouldn¡¯t have any chance of living anymore, Zhao Feng still decided to go after him first, as he still had the God¡¯s Eye Mark on Palace Lord You Long.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning!¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and circulated his Qi of True Spirit in a weird way.


    Weng~


    The Heavens and Earth seemed to howl with wind and hum with lightning.


    Light started to condense on Zhao Feng¡¯s back, finally forming a pair of wings.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning is the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s famous secret technique. I¡¯ve only comprehended a tiny bit, but it¡¯s enough to increase my speed by more than half.¡±


    Wind and Lightning crackled behind Zhao Feng and seemed to resonate with the Wind and Lightning Yuan Qi in the air.


    ¡°What type of secret technique is that? Using the power of Wind and Lightning to form a pair of wings?¡±


    Old Su¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    Some distance away, Princess Jin and the other members of the Dragon Killing Alliance could all feel the terrifying aura coming from the pair of wings.


    No one doubted that Zhao Feng¡¯s speed and agility would greatly increase. It would definitely be a nightmare for the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    However, after a couple breaths, the blue-haired youth didn¡¯t move in the air.


    Weng~~


    The pair of wings formed from Wind and Lightning started to fade.


    _What¡¯s going on?_


    Old Su, Princess Jin, and company were puzzled.


    ¡°You guys are damn lucky.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s power of Wind and Lightning dissipated as fatigue appeared on his face.


    The reason why the Wings of Wind and Lightning stopped wasn¡¯t just because he hadn¡¯t gained enough comprehension, it was also because of his left eye.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, the 10-yard-wide pond had started to ripple violently.


    Weng~~


    The water within the pond started to flow higher and higher, and it even started to leak out.


    Whoosh!


    The water kept on expanding.


    ¡°Breaking past the 10-yard limit and entering a new level¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured and landed on the ground, exhausted.


    Zhao Feng then signaled Old Su and company when they arrived.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Old Su nodded his head and Princess Jin quickly came over to help Zhao Feng. The others were all used to this by now.


    Zhao Feng smiled and fell asleep in Princess Jin¡¯s gentle embrace.


    ¡°The Iron Dragon Alliance has lost its momentum and control. It¡¯s time to return to the Broken Moon Clan.¡±


    Old Su glanced toward the directions that the Sub-Division Leader and Palace Lord You Long had escaped in and retreated.


    At the same time, within the dimension of his left eye.


    Di Da!


    The water in the pond kept on overflowing and started to expand into the shape of a lake.

 479 Breakthrough of the Eye 2

    Several days later, with Old Su leading the Dragon Killing Alliance, the group returned to the Cloud Country and the Broken Moon Clan.


    In the Cloud area, the Broken Moon Clan was now the core place of resistance against the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    In just the short span of a couple months, the Broken Moon Clan had expanded by twofold and was among the top of the Thirteen Clans.


    Even after returning to the Clan, Zhao Feng was still in a deep sleep. He was tended to by Princess Jin and company.


    On the other hand, Old Su organized the members of the Dragon Killing Alliance and started to purge the Thirteen Countries.


    Everything went as planned. With the Iron Dragon Alliance losing its leadership, everyone was like loose sand that crumbled in front of Dragon Killing Alliance troops.


    Among them, Cang Yuyue charged straight into the Iron Dragon Country. Ever since the battle with Zhao Feng, her cultivation and skill in the sword had increased, and no one was her match.


    Of course, this was also because almost all of the strongest experts from the Iron Dragon Alliance had been killed or injured by Zhao Feng.


    It could be imagined that the Cloud area would undergo major changes in the times ahead.


    A month after Zhao Feng started sleeping, the forces of the Dragon Killing Alliance attacked the two strong countries.


    The Sky Rich Strong Country was first ¡°recovered¡± by the Dragon Killing Alliance. After all, the Dragon Killing Alliance mainly consisted of those from the Sky Rich Seven Clans and Old Su was even one of the Clans¡¯ leading figures.


    Therefore, attacking the Sky Rich Strong Country was completed with ease.


    After taking back the Sky Rich Strong Country, the Dragon Killing Alliance¡¯s fame surpassed the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s.


    This continued only till a certain day before the ¡°footsteps¡± of the Dragon Killing Alliance stopped.


    In the desolate lands of the Iron Dragon Strong Country, a large dark castle existed amidst howling winds. Bones covered the ground nearby.


    ¡°Old Su, this castle is the Iron Dragon Alliance¡¯s stronghold and it has many people from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion inside.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve attacked several times and have had heavy losses, but we can¡¯t advance any further.¡±


    Several True Mystic Rank figures stood in the sand with frustrated expressions.


    Old Su stood with his hands behind his back as he surveyed this castle. The entire castle was surrounded by a sandstorm and a weird black mist, which stopped those from outside from seeing within.


    Anyone whose cultivation was lower than the True Spirit Realm would find their body turning into a pile of white bones if they even touched this black mist.


    One could tell how terrifying this mist was by the bones scattered around the castle.


    Half a day later.


    Hu~


    Winds howled in front of the castle. The one or two thousand experts couldn¡¯t advance any further.


    ¡°Reporting to Old Su, fifty to sixty people have already died to the black mist.¡±


    ¡°A True Mystic Rank and four True Human Ranks entered to scout out the castle an hour ago, but we can¡¯t contact any of them.¡±


    News upon news was relayed back to the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    Old Su was silent as he inspected this castle. Every time he used his spiritual sense, he would feel a coldness and uneasiness.


    Until a certain moment.


    Sou~~~


    A cold youth in black flew through the sky.


    ¡°Lin Tong, you¡¯ve come just in time. Do you know about this weird castle?¡±


    Old Su and company turned toward the youth in black.


    Lin Tong was Zhao Feng¡¯s servant and didn¡¯t take orders from the Dragon Killing Alliance, but Old Su had asked him for help.


    ¡°This castle was left behind by the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion a long time ago and it¡¯s extremely mysterious. The array that surrounds the castle is called the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array.¡±


    Lin Tong explained.


    Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array.


    The hearts of the upper echelon went cold just from hearing this name.


    The pile of bones proved that the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array lived up to its name.


    ¡°The Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array is quite troublesome. I¡¯ve heard of it before. It comes from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and can ignore the battle tactic of ¡®overrunning¡¯ them.¡±


    A True Mystic Rank elder from the group sighed.


    ¡°Hehe, this array is not only not scared of a lot of people attacking, it can also strengthen itself from devouring flesh and blood. The more you send means the more you are helping it.¡±


    Lin Tong didn¡¯t have any sympathy and acted as if it didn¡¯t concern him.


    Several members of the upper echelon were instantly unhappy and had dim expressions.


    Before Lin Tong obeyed Zhao Feng, he was a genius of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    His gloating expression made others infuriated.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Lin Tong was Zhao Feng¡¯s servant, they probably would¡¯ve already attacked and killed him together.


    Old Su was silent for a moment before he spoke, ¡°Has Brother Zhao woken up yet?¡±


    ¡°Master woke up ten days ago or else I wouldn¡¯t have even come here on my own accord.¡±


    Lin Tong shrugged.


    He obeyed Zhao Feng as his life was in his hands. He wouldn¡¯t be ordered around by anyone else.


    _No wonder._


    Everyone understood. Lin Tong wasn¡¯t someone to help others out.


    ¡°So, Brother Zhao has woken up already. When will he arrive?¡±


    Old Su let out a breath.


    Zhao Feng shouldn¡¯t not care about the situation in the Cloud area.


    ¡°Master is cultivating and will come after half a month to two months.¡±


    Lin Tong said expressionlessly.


    ¡°Did Brother Zhao say anything else?¡±


    Old Su asked.


    ¡°This is what Master said: ¡®I will leave the Cloud area soon after exiting seclusion.¡¯¡±


    Lin Tong answered.


    ¡°Leave the Cloud area?¡±


    Everyone present was dazed.


    What was going on?


    One had to know that the Dragon Killing Alliance was facing a lot of trouble.


    As long as the stronghold of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion wasn¡¯t destroyed, it would continue to threaten the Cloud area.


    ¡°Is Zhao Feng that confident that he¡¯ll be able to destroy the stronghold after he comes?¡±


    Some of the upper echelon felt uneasy.


    Lin Tong stood still and said nothing, but he felt disdainful of their questioning and suspicion.


    He recalled a memory in his mind; Zhao Feng awakening, and the aura that radiated from his left eye¡­ Lin Tong sweated even now.


    ¡°Tell everyone not to attack.¡±


    Old Su ordered. He decided to think it through and wait a while.


    Old Su didn¡¯t miss the change in Lin Tong¡¯s expression.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s strength must¡¯ve increased greatly after this time. But why would he leave the Cloud area so suddenly?¡±


    Old Su felt puzzled.


    Lin Tong had now closed his eyes and remained silent.


    In the blink of an eye, another couple days passed by.


    Sou! Sou!


    Two sharp auras came from the other side of the desert.


    A terrifying sword intent had appeared alongside the owner.


    ¡°Cang Yuyue!¡±


    ¡°The number one Sword Cultivator in the Cloud area!¡±


    The experts from the Cloud area couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    One of the two newcomers was a beauty that was plainly dressed. It was Cang Yuyue.


    Along with her was the woman in white.


    ¡°Fuck, it¡¯s that woman again¡­!¡±


    Lin Tong hiccupped.


    Last time, at the Broken Moon Clan, this Elder Bai had killing intent toward him. If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Feng, who knows what would¡¯ve happened?


    ¡°Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array.¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s expression changed drastically as she stared at the pile of white bones and exclaimed. She was indeed worthy of being an Elder of the Ten Thousand Sword Clan for immediately recognizing this array.


    ¡°Elder Bai, is this array very powerful?¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s voice was full of confidence.


    ¡°Numbers don¡¯t mean anything to this array and will actually increase its power instead. The only way to break this array is for an expert to charge in and destroy the ¡®Eye of the Array.¡¯ However, if there¡¯s an expert in this castle, then it¡¯ll be troublesome¡­.¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s expression was solemn. There was a wisp of aura within the castle that made Elder Bai feel uneasy and slightly pressured.


    As time passed, more and more elites gathered in front of the castle.


    In this period of time, there were obviously experts that tried to scout out the castle, but none of them returned.


    Old Su remained silent and didn¡¯t attack.


    At the same time, within a secret hall in the Broken Moon Clan.


    Weng~~


    A blue-haired youth¡¯s eyes were closed, and he radiated rings of cold air.


    These rings of cold air had a soul-chilling power.


    _Appear!_


    With a ¡°weng,¡± a half-transparent shadow of a spear appeared in his palm.


    The air seemed to tremble with its appearance and an indescribable coldness froze the place.


    This terrifying aura was enough to make those at the True Lord Rank unable to breathe.


    ¡°I can finally use a wisp of the Ice Imperial Spear¡¯s power. Before the breakthrough in my God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, my bloodline couldn¡¯t do this.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    At this moment, a shadow of the ice-blue spear had appeared in his palm. It was the exact same image as the Ice Imperial Spear.


    The joy from this breakthrough was more than from the breakthrough in his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Half a breath later.


    Shua!


    The shadow of the Earth-Grade weapon in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand disappeared.


    His expression was a slightly tired one and he closed his eyes.


    In the dimension of his left eye.


    Drip!


    A blue lake, more than a dozen yards wide, was as calm as a mirror.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind moved and a mysterious whirlpool appeared in the center of the small lake.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had finally broken through.


    The dimension of his left eye was now expressed by the shape of a ¡°lake,¡± and it was 14-15 yards wide.


    On top of that, the remaining traces of the Wood Spirit Soul Essence that Zhao Feng had absorbed in the Purple Saint Ruins was also taken in, or else the water in the lake wouldn¡¯t have reached such a size so quickly.


    Zhao Feng himself didn¡¯t even know what level his soul had reached, but he was sure that it was stronger than Lu Tianyi, who was at the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng spread his arms and an eye-catching pair of half-transparent wings made of wind and lightning condensed.

 480 Skeleton Division Leader

    Hu~~


    A pair of wings made of wind and lightning appeared behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back. They were gently flapping, which summoned howling winds


    The wisp of aura passed through the hall and resonated with the Wind and Lightning Yuan Qi outside.


    At this point in time, the wings were far more condensed than before.


    ¡°My wings of wind and lightning are only in the early stages and can only be used for flying currently. The real Wings of Wind and Lightning have legendary skills, such as flying ten thousand miles in an instant, flying in the outside world, passing through space¡­¡±


    Expectation appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. The Wind Lightning Stone Tablet in his mind formed a mental energy world that contained a lot of information.


    However, Zhao Feng had only comprehended around 1% of the entire Wind Lightning Stone Tablet.


    Within his Source of True Spirit, there was an occasional flicker of faint purple that contained the True Spirit Flame of Wind and Lightning.


    Transparent, azure, purple, scarlet, gold¡­ these were the rankings in the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet.


    Because of the Wind Lightning Palm, Lightning Inheritance, etcetera, Zhao Feng had cultivated the azure color to the maximum.


    At the same time, a voice sounded from outside, ¡°Chapter Leader Zhao, you¡¯re finally done. When will we return to the Canopy Great Country?¡±


    The aura from Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning had startled those outside.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change as the Wings of Wind and Lightning faded.


    With a ¡°qiu,¡± he vanished and appeared outside.


    Outside the hall, a male and female stood on Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right, and they seemed to be very expectant.


    ¡°Jiang Sanfeng, Die Ye, I already told you that I¡¯ll return to the Canopy Great Country once my business here is done.¡±


    Zhao Feng said faintly, not curious why the two were here.


    When Zhao Feng was sleeping, these two geniuses that had participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering came to the Thirteen Countries and found the Broken Moon Clan.


    Their results in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering were unexpectedly good, mainly due to the fact that Zhao Feng protected them and saved their Sacred True Dragon Tokens, allowing them to last till the final hundred.


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye had come out from their respective inheritances several months ago.


    Of course, the ones they went to were normal small inheritances and relatively safer. However, even then, their cultivation and strength increased by leaps and bounds. It was enough for them to reach the top-tier of geniuses across the continent.


    ¡°Chapter Leader Zhao, after the Sacred True Dragon Gathering ended, the Deputy Patriarch didn¡¯t give up, so he sent people scouting. There are more than just a couple forces that are interested in your whereabouts.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng smiled and said.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we came to the Cloud area to see if we were lucky and to complete our task, but we didn¡¯t think you would really be here. But, Chapter Leader, you were always sleeping or in seclusion and didn¡¯t even talk to us.¡±


    Die Ye pouted.


    ¡°Complete your task? How is the Deputy Patriarch so sure that I didn¡¯t die in the inheritance?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked with a weird expression.


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but the Deputy Patriarch went to see the Six Warlock Divine Sage and might have received some information.¡±


    The two shook their heads uncertainly.


    Six Warlock Divine Sage?


    Zhao Feng squinted his eyes and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had a weird sensation.


    It wasn¡¯t the first time he had heard of the Six Warlock Divine Sage.


    Apparently, Empress Qin was once the Six Warlock Divine Sage¡¯s disciple.


    ¡°Relax, even if you didn¡¯t rush me, I would return to the Canopy Great Country, but not before I clear out the threats of the Cloud area.¡±


    Zhao Feng stopped the two.


    The Cloud area was a desolate and barren place for these two that came from the Canopy Great Country. It lacked resources and Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and their cultivation speed was much slower.


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye didn¡¯t want to stay here any longer than they needed to.


    Two days later, in the desolate desert of the Iron Dragon Country.


    The layer of black mist surrounding the castle hadn¡¯t weakened. On the contrary, it became even more wicked and evil.


    Piles of bones were stacked around the castle.


    The several thousand elites from the Dragon Killing Alliance had surrounded the castle, but even then, they didn¡¯t feel safe.


    Jiang! Shu Shu~~~


    Several eye-catching beams of sword light slashed into the black mist surrounding the castle, and cracks instantly appeared around that area.


    In the sky, Cang Yuyue and Elder Bai had attacked and shaken the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array.


    Elder Bai¡¯s attacks were as beautiful as a rainbow and could be seen within a ten-mile radius.


    ¡°This Elder Bai is indeed worthy of coming from the number one sword clan of the Northern Continent. Any casual attack from her contains unparalleled power that surpasses anyone in the Cloud area. No old True Lord Rank is probably her match here.¡±


    The upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance, including Old Su and company, were respectful of Elder Bai.


    None of them were confident they could block even one attack from her.


    ¡°That Cang Yuyue is also terrifying. After entering the Seven Sword Inheritance, her sword intent can even kill early-stage True Lord Ranks.¡±


    ¡°Her future is immeasurable. Maybe she¡¯ll reach Sword Saint Ye Wuxie¡¯s level later on.¡±


    The power displayed by Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue was something the Dragon Killing Alliance could only look up to.


    However, the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array was more troublesome than imagined.


    Although their attacks could break through the black mist easily, the broken places would heal themselves after a couple breaths.


    ¡°As long as there are enough Primal Crystal Stones and enough air of Death here, the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Array will keep on recovering.¡±


    Lin Tong looked from afar with coldness.


    This stronghold was obviously filled with the air of Death. One could see from how many bones there were.


    Ten Thousand Swords Piercing through the Heart!


    Elder Bai waved her sleeve and sword beams formed a magnificent light.


    The power of this sword made the sun and moon lose their color, and the experts watching felt as if their hearts had been pierced through.


    ¡°This sword¡¯s power has almost exceeded the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Old Su¡¯s heart shook. He had never seen someone with such terrifying battle power ¨C including Zhao Feng.


    Everyone saw a brilliant beam of sword-light pierce into the castle. A large part of the black mist dissipated, revealing some of the scenery behind.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Sword Technique? After several hundred years, I see this technique again¡­. Is this destiny?¡±


    A mysterious voice sounded from the castle. The voice was very faint and had a coldness to it.


    The hearts of the several thousand experts in front of the castle shook.


    Those at the True Spirit Realm that were more sensitive trembled with uneasiness.


    The raspy voice contained a terrifying power that could pass through the soul.


    ¡°Who are you!?¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s expression changed. She felt an aura which made her, who was at the peak True Lord Rank, uneasy.


    Wu~~


    A human-shaped ¡°skeleton¡± suddenly appeared above the castle. Its body was a mixture between gold and silver, and two dark-red flames seemed to jump around in its sockets.


    The mysterious skeleton exchanged glances with Elder Bai and the latter acted as if she had been struck.


    ¡°This mental energy aura, is it a Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm? No, at best it can only be at the half-step Origin Core Realm, or else it wouldn¡¯t need to hide behind the array.¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s eyes twinkled uncertainly, but she let out a breath in the end.


    As long as the opponent wasn¡¯t at the Origin Core Realm, she didn¡¯t fear any challenge given her peak True Lord Rank cultivation.


    Shua!


    A black flag appeared in front of the skeleton that flapped gently, and it started to fix the gap in the array.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡±


    Elder Bai snickered coldly and teamed up with Cang Yuyue to attack toward the gap.


    ¡°Stop them.¡±


    The mysterious skeleton¡¯s raspy voice sounded.


    ¡°Yes, Division Leader.¡±


    Several dozen figures appeared near the castle. The weakest of these auras was at the peak True Human Rank.


    The three strongest auras were at the True Lord Rank and they stood in a row in the sky.


    One of them was a chubby figure holding a giant battleaxe. He had a dazed expression and smelled horrible.


    ¡°Sub-Division Leader Batie! He¡¯s not dead!¡±


    Old Su and company were shocked. Sub-Division Leader Batie was severely injured by Zhao Feng and the chances of him surviving were very slim.


    ¡°No, he¡¯s probably a ¡®living dead¡¯ person now. He has been turned into a ghost corpse with a secret technique in order to preserve his battle power, but he can only ¡®survive¡¯ for another month or two.¡±


    Lin Tong glanced coldly at the three True Lord Rank auras.


    ¡°A Sub-Division Leader of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s expression became solemn.


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak True Lord Rank and he was at the same level as her.


    ¡°To be able to turn a peak True Lord Rank into a ghost corpse¡­ this skeleton is obviously at the Division Leader level.¡±


    Lin Tong¡¯s voice trembled slightly, but no one knew whether it was out of fear or excitement.


    Scarlet Moon Division Leader.


    The hearts of the Dragon Killing Alliance shook with fear and shock.


    Division Leaders were the upper echelon in the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion even in the old days.


    Several hundred years later, this member of the upper echelon appeared once again. How much of a shock was it to the puny Cloud area?


    Hu~~


    The black mist appeared once more and submerged the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s figure.


    ¡°Kill!!¡±


    The Sub-Division Leader waved his battleaxe and charged toward Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue.


    On Batie¡¯s left and right were Palace Lord You Long and another grey-robed elder. They were both at the late-stage True Lord Rank.


    One peak True Lord Rank, two late-stage True Lord Ranks. How terrifying was this combination?


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Behind the three True Lord Ranks were additional powerful auras at the True Spirit Realm who hid themselves in the mist and defended the castle.


    The battle had started.

 481 Origin Core Realm?

    In front of the castle, the black mist was breaking apart and quickly recovering.


    ¡°Kill!!¡±


    The elites of the Dragon Killing Alliance charged toward the gap.


    Elder Bai, Cang Yuyue, Old Su, and dozens of experts at the True Spirit Realm entered the battle.


    In the mist, Sub-Division Leader Batie waved his giant battleaxe and slashed the earth apart with unparalleled power.


    Next to Sub-Division Leader Batie were Palace Lord You Long and a gray-robed elder, who were both at the late-stage True Lord Rank, and they pushed Old Su and Cang Yuyue back.


    Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One!


    Elder Bai shouted as she waved her sleeve, creating dazzling beams of light that condensed together and rained down upon Sub-Division Leader Batie.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    Sub-Division Leader Batie waved his axe, blocking Elder Bai¡¯s attacks and sending sparks flying everywhere.


    In terms of numbers and top-level strength, the Dragon Killing Alliance had the advantage.


    However, the castle¡¯s side didn¡¯t fear death, and the three people that blocked the way were all at least at the late-stage True Lord Rank.


    Most importantly, the castle had that array, and the black mist was like a moat of death.


    Those under the True Spirit Realm couldn¡¯t block the power at all. The smallest touch would result in their flesh rotting and ultimately turning into a pile of white bones, becoming resources for the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array.


    Even those at the True Spirit Realm would be affected and lose some battle power.


    Normal True Human Ranks would lose 50% of their strength in this mist, whereas those at the True Mystic Rank would lose 20-30%. Those at the True Lord Rank were the least affected, only losing about 10% of their battle strength.


    On the other side, the castle had dozens of figures at the True Spirit Realm.


    Incredibly, these people weren¡¯t affected by the black mist at all.


    ¡°He¡¯s indeed worthy of being a Division Leader. Controlling the array so that only the enemy is affected.¡±


    Lin Tong stood far away and admired without entering the battle.


    His eye bloodline could manage to barely see through the mist to the skeletal Division Leader within the depths of the castle.


    Whoosh!


    The black flag in front of the skeletal Division Leader kept on waving and controlling the black mist around the castle.


    Lin Tong was very careful, making sure not to look directly at the skeletal Division Leader in case he was detected.


    When one reached the level of a Division Leader, their methods couldn¡¯t be imagined. Killing a True Mystic Rank could be done with just a thought.


    Ding! Ding! Shu~~~~


    Peng! Bam! Boom~~~~


    The two sides had started a red-hot battle near the gap.


    Elder Bai and Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s fight shook the heavens and earth. The surrounding hundred yards was an area of death. No one under the True Lord Rank could survive there.


    Ding Ding Ding~~~


    Sub-Division Leader Batie was slowly forced into defense, waving his battleaxe to form an ¡°axe wall.¡±


    ¡°This woman of the Ten Thousand Sword Clan¡¯s so strong. Even Sub-Division Leader Batie is being suppressed by her.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long and the other late-stage True Lord Rank were shocked.


    The battle between the two wasn¡¯t fair.


    Firstly, Elder Bai was affected by the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array and lost 5% of her full strength.


    Secondly, Batie was a power-type cultivator who was currently defending.


    Elder Bai needed to clash with Sub-Division Leader Batie head-on, which was the most ineffective way.


    However, even then, she was suppressing Batie.


    Compared to her, Zhao Feng had relied on speed, agility, and his bloodline power.


    If Zhao Feng was to clash with Sub-Division Leader Batie head-on, he would definitely lose.


    Yet Elder Bai had done what he couldn¡¯t have in this situation.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad. Your Ten Thousand Sword Technique should have been trained to the fourteenth level and has hope of catching up to that Nan Jianfeng from back then.¡±


    The mysterious raspy voice sounded from the castle.


    ¡°Who the hell are you?¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s heart trembled faintly when she heard the words ¡°Nan Jianfeng.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, back then, Nan Jianfeng wasn¡¯t even a hundred years old and yet he was about to break through to the Origin Core Realm to become the second Sword Saint. I paid a heavy price to kill him.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s figure surfaced above the castle in a position where everyone could see him.


    ¡°Nan Jianfeng is my grandfather. So you¡¯re the culprit from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion that killed him~~~!?¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s face went cold as she slashed out sword beams full of killing intent toward the skeletal Division Leader in the air.


    The skeletal Division Leader laughed and waved his flag, creating a dragon of mist that burned with a scarlet-purple flame.


    Boom!


    The sword beams that Elder Bai slashed out were destroyed by the skeletal Division Leader in an instant.


    ¡°Dominating Heaven Limitless Slash!¡±


    Sub-Division Leader Batie took this chance to send Elder Bai flying back dozens of yards.


    Shu!


    Elder Bai¡¯s clothes ripped and a gash was left on her snow-white skin.


    ¡°Master!¡±


    Cang Yuyue exclaimed.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ how dare you not pay attention in my Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader asked playfully.


    He kept on waving the flag and controlling the mist.


    The weird thing was that the skeletal Division Leader remained in the air above the castle and didn¡¯t pursue Elder Bai or anyone else.


    ¡°The situation isn¡¯t looking good for the Dragon Killing Alliance, and the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion still has a Division Leader watching. Who knows what he¡¯s thinking?¡±


    Lin Tong watched the battle with no signs of interfering. Although he was Zhao Feng¡¯s servant, no one could order him around.


    In front of the castle, Elder Bai had been lightly injured from diverting her attention, but she still attacked toward Sub-Division Leader Batie. However, it was clear that her battle power had decreased and she wasn¡¯t as casual as before.


    ¡°The gap in the mist is getting smaller and smaller.¡±


    Old Su barely managed to withstand the other gray-robed late-stage True Lord Rank, but he was still pushed back.


    Wu~


    The hole in the mist was quickly being fixed and it even started spreading outward.


    ¡°Everyone, get ready to retreat!¡±


    Old Su¡¯s expression changed drastically. Even with such a good chance, the Dragon Killing Alliance couldn¡¯t break through the array. This meant that their chance of success would be even lower after the array was fixed.


    Furthermore, the skeletal Division Leader in the air was like an invisible mountain that made everyone else unable to breathe.


    The idea of actually fighting the skeletal Division Leader head-on was unthinkable.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s too late~~~!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag and summoned flaming black mist from the sky into the gap.


    Boom!


    The flaming black mist started to form a triangle-shaped scarlet-purple fire wall that locked everyone within, blocking their path.


    _Not good!_


    The upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance turned around and saw that the wall of fire blocked their exit. On top of that, the fire was controlled by the black flag, giving it more than ten times the power of the normal black mist.


    ¡°There¡¯s no path of retreat.¡±


    The upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance had gray expressions.


    Normal True Spirit Realms would turn into a puddle of blood and water when they touched this black mist controlled by black flag, and the wall of fire behind them was even more terrifying because it contained the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s ¡°Core Flame.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not at the half-step Origin Core Realm!¡±


    Elder Bai¡¯s face went pale-white and she fell into despair.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s true aim is to finish off the entire upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance at once.¡±


    Lin Tong revealed a look of understanding.


    As for the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s cultivation¡­ being part of the upper echelon of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, it wasn¡¯t surprising for him to have the cultivation of the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, back then, I was ranked middle-high among the twelve Divisions. Even though I¡¯ve only just woken up a couple years ago and haven¡¯t recovered yet, those at the half-step Origin Core Realm still can¡¯t be compared to me.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader had a smug expression.


    He finally trapped the entire upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    At this point in time, the entire Dragon Killing Alliance, including Elder Bai, were in a life or death situation.


    Charging forward had no chance of victory. Retreating would only get closer to death.


    On top of that, the skeletal Division Leader hadn¡¯t even attacked yet. He had been planning the entire time.


    ¡°There¡¯s still one more¡­.¡±


    The red flames in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes seemed to jump around as he stared at Palace Lord You Long.


    ¡°Division Leader, what orders do you have?¡±


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s hair stood on end after being looked at for so long. Was there something on his face?


    Lin Tong watched the scene without sympathy.


    ¡°Should I tell Zhao Feng?¡±


    Lin Tong hesitated.


    He remembered what Zhao Feng told him before, ¡°You don¡¯t need to participate in the battle, but if the Dragon Killing Alliance is in danger, touch the Dark Heart Seed in your mind. I will sense it and come help.¡±


    The Dark Heart Seed was a special mark Zhao Feng had left in Lin Tong¡¯s soul.


    This mark was different than the God¡¯s Eye Mark because it focused mainly on controlling others.


    While Lin Tong was hesitating¡­


    Miao miao!


    A small silver-gray cat appeared out of nowhere. It climbed onto Lin Tong¡¯s shoulder and gently tapped his neck.


    Lin Tong¡¯s body froze and he smiled bitterly. He underestimated Zhao Feng. How could Zhao Feng not have a backup plan after giving Lin Tong such an important task?


    Without any more hesitation, he pushed his mental energy toward the Dark Heart Seed.


    __


    _Hmm?_


    The skeletal Division Leader seemed to suddenly sense something and turned toward Lin Tong¡¯s direction as flames jumped around in his sockets.


    Shua!


    A grand mental energy aura suddenly appeared in the sky above the castle. Even those at the True Lord Rank felt unable to breathe.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart jumped.


    A large eye had appeared in the sky and seemed to coexist with Heaven and Earth as it looked down coldly upon him.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!¡±


    The hearts of the Dragon Killing Alliance experts shook and they felt an urge to bow down.


    _It¡¯s here again!_


    Palace Lord You Long hiccupped, obviously still having bad memories.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ I¡¯ve waited for you for a long time. The mark on You Long is your doing, right?¡±


    Although the skeletal Division Leader was shocked by how the Eye of Heaven appeared, he wasn¡¯t too surprised by it.

 482 So It’s You

    Black mist surrounded the air above the castle.


    The gold and silver skeleton looked toward the Eye of Heaven.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s bones stood out from the mist and red flames jumped in its eye sockets.


    It looked toward the Eye of Heaven without any fear.


    The Eye of Heaven coldly scanned the skeletal Division Leader for a breath or two before sounding, ¡°So it¡¯s you.¡±


    _So it¡¯s you._


    This voice reverberated throughout the mental energy dimension and caused the others to break out into discussion.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Does Zhao Feng know the skeletal Division Leader?¡±


    ¡°Wait, the skeletal Division Leader is a figure from several hundred years ago and Zhao Feng¡¯s not even twenty years old.¡±


    Both friend and foe alike were puzzled and shocked.


    Elder Bai, Old Su, and company finally had the time to let out a breath.


    On the other hand, Sub-Division Leader Batie and Palace Lord You Long became wary. This lowered the pressure from the Iron Dragon Alliance.


    At this moment in time, Elder Bai felt a large mental energy pressure as she watched the Eye of Heaven. Could Zhao Feng¡¯s soul power already have surpassed hers?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness was in the clouds as he scanned downward.


    ¡°After the breakthrough of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and fully absorbing the Wood Spirit Soul Essence, my soul has broken through to a new level.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a different feeling than before.


    In the past, whenever he used the Eye of Heaven, his energy would deplete quickly and would seem like it could disappear at any time. However, this time, the Eye of Heaven was more stable and condensed than before.


    ¡°You know me? Could it be¡­?¡±


    Flames seemed to jump up and down in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s sockets as if it thought of something.


    That¡¯s right, Zhao Feng met the skeletal Division Leader before.


    Back then, in the Sky Cloud Forest, Zhao Feng scouted a ¡°skeleton¡± that was abnormally weak.


    Zhao Feng still remembered the scene from that day. That skeleton left a ¡°mark¡± on Zhao Feng that made him feel disgusted for a long time.


    After that, Zhao Feng used the dangerous power of the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground to break the mark, paying a heavy price and even falling backward in his cultivation.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­. Interesting. Maybe this is destiny. You¡¯ve finally come after several years.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader seemed to remember something as well and killing intent seemed to materialize from its eyes.


    Shua!


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s figure suddenly disappeared with a flash.


    ¡°Dark Ghost Prison!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader opened its mouth.


    Hu~~


    Four balls of weird ghastly flame appeared, each one around two yards in diameter, and released a terrifying aura.


    Weng~~ Qiu~~ Qiu~~ Qiu~~ Qiu~~


    The four balls of weird ghastly flame started to send out lines of green aura that formed a prison, which captured the Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The upper echelon from the Dragon Killing Alliance exclaimed.


    The skeletal Division Leader seemed to be ready for the Eye of Heaven and it used a mysterious technique.


    In the sky, the auras of the four ghastly flame balls started to rise rapidly and reach the True Lord Rank.


    They weren¡¯t made of flesh and blood, they were of a spiritual form. In terms of physical attacks, the four ghastly flame balls weren¡¯t even as strong as normal True Spirit Realms, but they excelled in mental energy attacks.


    At this point in time, the four balls of flame created a prison that enveloped the Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­. The Dark Ghost Prison is specifically made for countering spiritual forms and can deal a lot of damage to them. For example, if a ghost came here, they wouldn¡¯t be able to escape.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader laughed weirdly.


    A dark-red flame spun out from its eye socket and went into the Dark Ghost Prison.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make sure that you won¡¯t be able to return either.¡±


    The deep raspy voice sounded across the castle. The Eye of Heaven didn¡¯t move within the prison.


    The skeletal Division Leader released sizzles of dark-red flame that quickly eroded the Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline does make others sigh with awe. Unfortunately, this skeletal Division Leader specializes in the Soul and it was a Sovereign at its peak.¡±


    Lin Tong watched this battle with sympathy.


    Although he was under Zhao Feng¡¯s control and admired the latter¡¯s power, Lin Tong had to admit Zhao Feng had met his match.


    ¡°This skeletal Division Leader¡¯s also learned some theory of the Dao of the Soul.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness was in the sky and this prison gave him an uneasy feeling.


    The wisps of dark-red flame seemed to contain a terrifying power. Zhao Feng did nothing, possibly because there was nothing he _could_ do.


    ¡°Go Division Leader!¡±


    Palace Lord You Long was overjoyed and relieved.


    The clashes from before caused Palace Lord You Long to fear Zhao Feng, so the appearance of the Eye of Heaven this time made him uneasy.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, although you¡¯re very talented and you¡¯re an overwhelming prodigy, meeting a Division Leader of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion means you¡¯re unlucky.¡±


    Palace Lord You Long and company felt relieved.


    The current scene made them all feel safe and happy.


    Ever since they had come to the Cloud area, this youth was like a God that forced the Iron Dragon Alliance into a terrible situation.


    And now, this nightmare-like existence was about to disappear.


    ¡°Junior! Do you think you can interrupt me with just this measly technique? What do you have to say before you die?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader asked smugly.


    It had calculated how to defeat the entire upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance at once, and it obviously didn¡¯t forget Zhao Feng.


    The skeletal Division Leader had already sensed the God¡¯s Eye Mark on Palace Lord You Long, but he didn¡¯t dissolve it.


    However, the Eye of Heaven had a playfulness about it.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader suddenly realized something; the Eye of Heaven didn¡¯t even try to struggle or fight with the Dark Ghost Prison at all.


    Azure Eye Piercing Slash!


    The Eye of Heaven suddenly shot out two beams of azure light.


    The next instant, two half-transparent blades of wind were like swords as they flew down.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    Blood splattered from two figures next to the castle.


    Plop! Plop!


    These two figures were slashed in half and fell into a puddle of their own blood.


    ¡°How¡­ how¡­?¡±


    Palace Lord You Long¡¯s body was cut in two and his face was still full of unwillingness and fear.


    On the other side, the late-stage True Lord Rank gray-robed elder had a puzzled expression. He had never seen Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline before, and he died with open eyes.


    This sudden change made many people present take in a cold breath.


    ¡°Instantly killing two late-stage True Lord Ranks simultaneously? Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline has already reached this level?¡±


    Lin Tong was stunned as he stood unmoving.


    On top of the castle, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression froze and it was flabbergasted, ¡°Why is it like this? How can it ignore the Dark Ghost Prison? Is this Eye not a normal spiritual form?¡±


    The Eye of Heaven slaying two True Lord Ranks shocked the skeletal Division Leader as well, but what it really didn¡¯t understand was how the Eye of Heaven was even existing right now.


    The Eye of Heaven seemed to be part of the Heaven and Earth and just an ¡°image¡± of the real thing. The true consciousness wasn¡¯t here.


    Wind Lightning Fire Eye!


    The large eye suddenly shot out a half-transparent flame made of wind and lightning.


    Boom~~~


    One of the four balls of ghastly flame started to burn a different color and it seemed to screech. On top of that, the fire from the eye continued through the ghastly flame and landed in the castle.


    Whoosh!


    A certain place in the depths of the castle started to burn, making the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array tremble and become chaotic.


    ¡°Not good, the eye of the array is burning.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader finally started to panic.


    Once the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array was broken, he would face the combined attacks of several thousand elites of the Dragon Killing Alliance. This stronghold would also be destroyed.


    Shua!


    After completing this, the Eye of Heaven started to fade and disappear from the sky.


    The skeletal Division Leader let out a breath. Luckily, the energy required to use this skill was too much and it couldn¡¯t be used continuously.


    Sou!


    The skeletal Division Leader returned to the castle and started to wave the array flag and fix the eye of the array.


    ¡°Everyone, this is our chance to destroy the array!¡±


    Old Su¡¯s eyes lit up and shouted.


    He had a clear grasp of the situation. While the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array was unstable, it was the easiest chance to break through it.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t destroy the triangle-shaped fire wall behind them. This was probably his intention too.


    Zhao Feng helped them attack, but he didn¡¯t want the Dragon Killing Alliance to retreat.


    Luckily, the two late-stage True Lord Ranks were dead and only Sub-Division Leader Batie was left to defend. The army instantly had the advantage.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    ¡°Attack the castle and destroy the array!¡±


    Elder Bai, Cang Yuyue, and company unleashed a barrage of attacks.


    Ding Ding Ding!


    Sub-Division Leader Batie waved his axe and was forced to defend as the companions next to him died.


    Luckily, the skeletal Division Leader could also give him some support while it was fixing the eye of the array or else the Sub-Division Leader wouldn¡¯t even be able to last ten breaths.


    At the same time, several thousand miles away, on a large green-gold bird.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness returned to his body and he let out a light breath.


    ¡°Chapter Leader Zhao, what was that just now?¡±


    Die Ye asked curiously.


    In the last couple breaths, Zhao Feng had entered a unique state, and his mental energy aura made the two¡¯s hearts shake.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven had only been truly used in the Purple Saint Ruins. Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye didn¡¯t understand it.


    ¡°It¡¯s more complicated than I thought¡­. The Division Leader of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was most likely a Sovereign at the Origin Core Realm at its peak. I will go there myself first.¡±


    _What?_


    Division Leader of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion? Origin Core Realm Sovereign?


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye were instantly shocked and couldn¡¯t accept this reality right away.


    Shua!


    Before his words were even finished, a blurry arc of lightning already flashed into the skies.

 483 Battling the Division Leader

    In the barren desert, where the castle was located.


    The black mist started to stabilize after some intense shaking.


    The skeletal Division Leader let out a breath, not reentering the battle. Instead, it controlled the black flag, using the black mist to fix the cracks in the array. It placed great importance on the eye of the array, which was damaged by the Eye of Heaven.


    However, the experts of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion were currently being pushed back.


    Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue¡¯s sword attacks destroyed everything in their path.


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s half-dead and rotting body had more than a dozen gashes, which were so deep that one could see the bones.


    ¡°Put in some more effort and kill the Sub-Division Leader now, or else it¡¯ll become more troublesome once the array is fully repaired.¡±


    Old Su and the Dragon Killing Alliance unleashed barrages of attacks.


    Ding Ding Boom Bam~~~~~


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s injuries continued to get worse, and over half of his companions were dead.


    Sou!


    Sub-Division Leader Batie¡¯s figure suddenly flashed, leading the remaining people back to the castle without any regard for defense.


    ¡°Kill him! He¡¯s only got one breath left in him!¡±


    The experts of the Dragon Killing Alliance charged into the castle.


    Unexpectedly, the skeletal Division Leader continued fixing the array and didn¡¯t bother them.


    The sound of battle appeared once more as they charged into the castle.


    The castle was filled with white bones. The occasional corpse, skeleton, or ghost would appear.


    ¡°These ghosts are a source of power for the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array. Kill as many as you can.¡±


    Elder Bai ordered.


    The killing extended throughout the castle as everyone headed toward the eye of the array.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s already told us where the eye of the array is with his eye flame.¡±


    Old Su¡¯s eyes were bright.


    The group reached their destination, where they saw Sub-Division Leader Batie and three balls of ghastly flame next to the eye of the array.


    ¡°Kill them, then take care of the Division Leader.¡±


    Elder Bai didn¡¯t fear anything given how strong she was.


    Next to her was Cang Yuyue. Although her cultivation just reached the half-step True Lord Rank, her sword intent was extremely powerful and her battle power was slightly better than normal early-stage True Lord Ranks.


    However, the three balls of ghastly flame next to Sub-Division Leader Batie weren¡¯t easy to take care of either, or else they wouldn¡¯t have been used in an attempt to counter the Eye of Heaven.


    Wu~ Wu~


    The three balls of ghastly flame sent out beams of transparent green flames and a round of mental energy attacks that made the Dragon Killing Alliance panic.


    Luckily, Cang Yuyue and Elder Bai were experts who had comprehended sword intent, which could attack the spiritual dimension.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    A ghastly flame was soon destroyed by Cang Yuyue and the other two were badly damaged.


    Old Su nodded his head in admiration. The two from the Ten Thousand Sword Clan had done a lot.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­. Game over.¡±


    A deep raspy laugh reverberated across the castle.


    Shua!


    The skeletal Division Leader held its black flag and flashed to where everyone was at. It managed to fix the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array.


    The hearts of the Dragon Killing Alliance members shook. This Division Leader finally made its move.


    ¡°Spawn from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, die!¡±


    Elder Bai waved her robe and destroyed another ghastly flame before clashing with the skeletal Division Leader.


    Ten Thousand Sword Destruction!


    Elder Bai¡¯s attack created thousands of sharp sword-lights that twisted and turned in the air, destroying everything in their path.


    At this point in time, Elder Bai¡¯s power had reached a level that exceeded the True Lord Rank level and, in terms of pure battle power, was comparable to the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, indeed worthy of being Nan Jianfeng¡¯s descendent.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was slightly surprised. It waved the black flag in its hand with a ¡°hu~,¡± devouring the last ball of ghastly fire into the black mist.


    Wu~


    The ball of ghastly fire that was devoured turned into a dark flaming orb, about twenty to thirty yards wide, and it was filled with limitless black mist and fire that started to spread.


    Weng~


    Elder Bai¡¯s attack clashed with the dark flaming orb and a soul-shaking boom sounded.


    A breath later, the dark flaming orb started to shake. It seemed to sync up with the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array, increasing in power.


    Bam Bam!


    Elder Bai¡¯s attack was devoured by the flaming black orb and her face went white.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The experts from the Dragon Killing Alliance exclaimed.


    Wu~


    The dark flaming orb started to extend to seventy or eighty yards, merging with the array like a black umbrella-shaped screen.


    The Dragon Killing Alliance group was slowly being closed in on by this black umbrella-shaped screen.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­. This Dark Ghost Night is my second plan to finish off all those who dared to come in the castle.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader laughed and waved its black flag to control the dark flaming orb, making it push everyone down to the ground.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Swords into One!¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Despair Chaotic Style!¡±


    ¡°Break~~~!¡±


    The group did their best to fight back.


    However, when their attacks got close, they would be absorbed by the dark flaming orb and turned into energy.


    ¡°What you¡¯re doing is useless. My Dark Ghost Night is in sync with the Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array and has infinite power.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader waved its black flag and said smugly.


    ¡°Argh! Ahhh!!¡±


    There were already figures being swallowed by the Dark Ghost Night.


    Only Elder Bai, Cang Yuyue, and Old Su could manage to resist, but they obviously couldn¡¯t last long.


    A weird sound appeared outside the castle at this moment.


    Qiu~~~~


    A gust of wind and a hum of lightning appeared from the edge of the sky.


    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    A pair of wings, formed from wind and lightning, flapped behind a blue-haired youth¡¯s back, and they were in sync with the Wind Lightning Yuan Qi in the air. He was like a descending God of Lightning.


    Shua!


    The pair of wings behind Zhao Feng started to fade, and a ball of wind and lightning started to condense in his palm.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Tornado!¡±


    The ball of wind and lightning started to rapidly expand. The center became infinitely deep as it spun downward with arcs of lightning.


    ¡°He¡¯s faster than I thought¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was slightly surprised.


    Shua!


    A gold and silver bone-whip appeared in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s other hand. With a flick, a red-purple flame appeared, forming a bone dragon that clashed with the Wind Lightning Tornado.


    Boom~~~ Bam!


    The Wind Lightning Tornado and the bone dragon clashed together, making the castle¡¯s array tremble slightly.


    ¡°What kind of inheritance did this brat get? How can a measly early-stage True Lord Rank have such strong battle power¡­?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression became slightly solemn as it flicked its gold and silver whip out many times, creating fiery bone dragons one after another.


    ¡°Wind and Lightning Crackling Strike!¡±


    Zhao Feng swiped his hand and a large blade of wind and lightning, more than a dozen yards long, flashed through the air toward the skeletal Division Leader.


    The skeletal Division Leader controlled the black flag with one hand and used the bone-whip to fight Zhao Feng with the other.


    Bam! Boom~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind and Lightning Crackling Strike could kill normal late-stage True Lord Ranks, but it was easily dissolved by the skeletal Division Leader.


    The skeletal Division Leader had reached a profound level. Its every breath and action seemed to merge with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and it was extremely similar to Lu Tianyi back in the Purple Saint Ruins.


    ¡°He has the comprehension of an Origin Core Realm Sovereign, but the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body is too weak, so it can only use 30-40% of its maximum strength.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye inspected the skeletal Division Leader once more.


    In reality, the Eye of Heaven already performed an inspection, so Zhao Feng had an estimation of the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s strength.


    However, even then, the skeletal Division Leader was able to suppress Elder Bai, Cang Yuyue, Old Su, and another dozen or two True Spirit Realm experts on top of fighting Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Looks like normal attacks aren¡¯t enough. It can continuously absorb the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi at a level that the True Spirit Realm can¡¯t be compared to¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t too surprised.


    After exiting seclusion, Zhao Feng¡¯s breakthrough in his eye allowed his battle power to reach the peak True Lord Rank. When he fully circulated it, it was comparable to the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    However, this wasn¡¯t his biggest improvement.


    Shua!


    A pair of wings made of wind and lightning appeared behind Zhao Feng and, with a gentle flutter, allowed him to retreat a mile away in just a couple breaths.


    He then stood there while the color of his eye started to change and his hair blew in the wind.


    _Changing eye powers?_


    The skeletal Division Leader revealed a look of shock.


    In just half a breath, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye turned azure.


    The azure left eye was like a limitless abyss, releasing a rising, terrifying aura.


    At this point in time, the mental energy pressure from Zhao Feng became stronger and stronger, even surpassing the limits of the three Heavens of the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Such a strong soul. It¡¯s almost at a Sovereign¡¯s level¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression changed dramatically, but it suppressed the uneasiness in its ¡°heart.¡±


    Although it was an Origin Core Realm Sovereign at its peak and had a soul that was also at the Sovereign level, it was currently in a weakened state, and its soul was nowhere near as strong as before.


    The time Zhao Feng took was more than twice as long as usual.


    ¡°Wind Lightning God¡¯s Flame!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye sparkled with a wisp of purple.


    Whoosh!


    A dragon-shaped half-transparent flame of wind and lightning seemed to teleport as it landed on the skeletal Division Leader.


    Sii!


    The skeletal Division Leader harrumphed as half its body was hit by the fire. Lightning crackled around it, and this power even eroded its soul.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul had surpassed the half-step Origin Core Realm and was almost at the Sovereign level. The power of his eye was displayed in the spiritual dimension.


    This attack damaged the skeletal Division Leader.


    Shuuu!


    With the skeletal Division Leader dazed, the Dark Ghost Night screen was ripped apart by two terrifying sword blows.


    ¡°Spawn of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, die!¡±


    Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue charged upward and sent piercing strikes toward the skeletal Division Leader.

 484 Pursuing while Ahead

    ¡°Spawn of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, die!¡±


    Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue charged up from below, forming a pincer attack with Zhao Feng in the air.


    The situation flipped in the blink of an eye.


    The skeletal Division Leader roared and a layer of bone-chilling dark flames managed to barely put out the Wind Lightning God¡¯s Flame.


    However, the injury to its soul couldn¡¯t be healed so quickly.


    Before it could react, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye turned a cold blue.


    The second eye bloodline technique was prepared.


    ¡°Ice Soul Shooting Line!¡±


    A transparent beam, half-a-human-thick, passed through the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body.


    The skeletal Division Leader experienced extreme cold after scorching fire, and it was damaged even more.


    The Ice Soul Shooting Line was a mental energy attack. The stronger one¡¯s soul and eye bloodline power were, the stronger the attack.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s current soul strength, his Ice Soul Shooting Line could freeze almost any True Lord Rank. Even those at the half-step Origin Core Realm would find it hard to block.


    However, the skeletal Division Leader was a Sovereign at its peak. Its soul and comprehension weren¡¯t something a True Lord Rank or half-step Origin Core Realm could be compared to.


    After taking this attack head-on, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body and soul were damaged by the cold, but it wasn¡¯t critically injured.


    ¡°Indeed worthy of being a Sovereign.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised.


    His aim was only to slow down the skeletal Division Leader, so that it would be unable to evade Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue¡¯s attacks.


    Shu Shu Shu~~~


    The layer of black flames around the skeletal Division Leader was slashed open and started to fade.


    Ding!


    A faint mark was left on the gold-and-silver bones.


    _What!?_


    Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue¡¯s expressions changed dramatically.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body was stronger than they imagined, able to take their attacks head-on.


    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s just a bluff.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly as his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye turned azure.


    ¡°Azure Eye Piercing Slash!¡±


    His left eye glittered with a piercing sharpness.


    Bam!


    A large half-transparent blade of wind hit the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s wrist joint.


    Crack!


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body trembled and its joint broke, dropping the gold-and-silver bone-whip.


    ¡°Attack the joints.¡±


    Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue both understood.


    Although the body of the skeletal Division Leader was extremely strong and could resist normal True Lord Rank attacks, it wasn¡¯t as if there weren¡¯t any flaws, and no flaw could escape Zhao Feng¡¯s eye.


    ¡°Ignorant brat!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader roared and summoned a gust of gray wind with its other hand in order to pull its fallen hand and whip back toward it.


    It snickered coldly in its heart. With its secret technique, it could reconnect its hand in an instant.


    If it didn¡¯t have such methods, the skeletal Division Leader wouldn¡¯t have survived the purge from back then.


    Miao miao!


    A little silver-gray thieving cat flashed through the air and smiled toward the skeletal Division Leader.


    The skeletal Division Leader paused.


    Shua!


    A silver striped whip suddenly shot out and wrapped itself around the hand and the gold-and-silver whip.


    ¡°Fucking cat, stay~~~!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader reacted and howled.


    Its hand wasn¡¯t the only thing taken. The gold-and-silver whip wasn¡¯t a normal item.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat played with the gold-and-silver bone-whip with excitement as it put the original silver striped whip away.


    The skeletal Division Leader almost exploded from anger and its entire body trembled with a dark light.


    The little thieving cat remained unmoved and even licked the bone-whip.


    The skeletal Division Leader was about to charge up to the cat, but at that moment, Zhao Feng, Elder Bai, and Cang Yuyue all attacked. Even Old Su came to help.


    Ding Ding Bam~~~


    The skeletal Division Leader was knocked around.


    With a ¡°ding,¡± Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue almost broke off the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s leg.


    If this continued, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body would be broken even if it won.


    ¡°Fucking cat~~~~~~~~!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was as angry as thunder. It had never felt so humiliated before.


    Eye of Ice Soul!


    Zhao Feng saw that the skeletal Division Leader was about to go into a rage, and his left eye once more changed color.


    With the lockdown of the Eye of Ice Soul, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s bones became stiffer, and its thoughts and body were affected as well.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Sword Destruction!¡±


    ¡°Heavenly Despair Slaughter Sword!¡±


    Without hesitation, Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue unleashed powerful attacks that landed onto the skeletal Division Leader.


    At this instant, sword marks were left all over the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body, especially the areas close to its joints.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Ice Soul had locked on to the skeletal Division Leader, so it couldn¡¯t become angry even if it wished to. The speed of its thoughts was only 50-60% as fast as usual.


    Normal True Lord Ranks would become as slow as a turtle under Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Ice Soul.


    ¡°Junior, you¡¯re courting death~~~!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader howled, its voice resounding in the soul dimension.


    A fire twitched in its eye socket as a wicked and evil mental energy aura started to be unleashed.


    ¡°Dark Ghost Death Claws!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader swiped its hand and a room-sized dark-red claw descended toward Zhao Feng.


    The instant the Dark Ghost Death Claw was summoned, every True Spirit Realm cultivator felt their hearts go cold, and they felt the aura of death pass by.


    ¡°What a terrifying Soul attack.¡±


    Elder Bai and Old Su revealed looks of shock.


    The claw had a glow of red light to it, and before it even got close, Zhao Feng felt a coldness in his soul.


    ¡°No one under the Origin Core Realm can remain unharmed in front of this attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye locked on to the Dark Ghost Death Claw.


    Shu!


    He remained still and let the Dark Ghost Death Claw pass through his body.


    Bo~~


    In the dimension of his left eye, the shape of a claw slashed through the lake.


    ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ve never been injured by mental energy attacks before.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was almost fully resilient to normal mental energy attacks or illusions. Furthermore, his Soul had reached a level almost comparable to the Origin Core Realm and it was probably even stronger than the current skeletal Division Leader¡¯s.


    ¡°What¡­? His eye bloodline is almost fully resilient to normal Soul attacks?¡±


    Waves roiled around in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart.


    It knew very clearly how much power that attack contained. Even those at the half-step Origin Core Realm couldn¡¯t retreat fully unharmed.


    Ding Ding~~~ Peng! Bam~~


    The group managed to successfully surround the skeletal Division Leader, unleashing a wave of attacks.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s movements were slow due to the Eye of Ice Soul and it roared at these attacks.


    Boom~~~~


    The Devouring Spirit Ten Thousand Withering Array suddenly shook and shattered.


    Someone destroyed the eye of the array and, in just an instant, the black mist surrounding the castle disappeared, allowing the sunlight from the outside world to shine in.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression was grim and it knew that the battle was lost, so it started to shout, ¡°Juniors, the Scarlet Moon Sacred Religion will rule the continent once more. You shall not escape this fate.¡±


    Weng~~


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s injured body suddenly unleashed a ring of gold-and-silver flames that caused its aura to rise rapidly, as if it was a true Sovereign


    Hu~~


    The powerful aura seemed to rule the Heaven and Earth, forcing everyone back.


    Immediately following that, the bones of the skeletal Division Leader dimmed as it flashed out of the castle with a wave of gold-and-silver flames.


    Qiu!


    In just a couple breaths, the streak of fire reached the ends of the desert.


    Old Su and company within the castle let out a long breath.


    Plop! Plop!


    Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue both fell to the ground with weak auras. After this fight, and using all kinds of secret techniques, the experts present were exhausted.


    ¡°We¡¯ve finally won. After this battle, the skeletal Division Leader will be extremely weak and will need at least a year or two to recover.¡±


    Old Su sighed.


    Everyone present felt as if they escaped death.


    Who would have thought that there would be a Division Leader of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion here?


    For most people, surviving was already extremely lucky.


    ¡°Thank you, everyone, for your help. Leave the rest to me.¡±


    A calm and peaceful voice sounded from above the castle.


    Everyone paused and looked up toward the floating blue-haired youth.


    Many hearts shook at this point in time.


    This youth played a key part in why they weren¡¯t dead, even emerging victorious instead.


    Zhao Feng was the only one unharmed in the castle.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re going to chase the Division Leader by yourself?¡±


    Cang Yuyue gritted her teeth and tried to stand up.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, we should plan this out.¡±


    Old Su persuaded.


    Elder Bai had a complex expression, ¡°Zhao Feng, I don¡¯t recommend you chase either. The skeletal Division Leader was a Sovereign at its peak and it definitely has strong life-saving methods up its sleeve.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly, ¡°I can only leave the Cloud area without worry after finishing this.¡±


    ¡°If you really want to pursue the skeletal Division Leader, we can do it after we¡¯ve recovered. After all, that skeletal Division Leader is an enemy of mine.¡±


    Elder Bai said solemnly.


    Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads.


    ¡°The trail will grow colder the longer we stall. Thank you for all your good intentions, but I am enough.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head and smiled.


    Weng~


    A pair of wings made of wind and lightning appeared behind his back, causing the Wind and Lightning Yuan Qi to resonate.


    _I am enough._


    Waves roiled around in the hearts of Old Su and company after hearing this.


    ¡°Zhao Feng is so confident that he can kill the skeletal Division Leader alone?¡±


    Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue looked at each other with shock.


    Qiu!


    With a flap of the wings, Zhao Feng turned into a streak of lightning that flashed through the air, about the same speed as the skeletal Division Leader.


    Within the castle, the people weren¡¯t able to calm down as they looked at Zhao Feng flying away.


    ¡°He¡¯s indeed worthy of being an overwhelming prodigy. How many more methods has he not used yet?¡±


    Elder Bai sighed.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao, Zhao Feng, and the other prodigies¡­ I will challenge you all when I return.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s beautiful eyes were filled with steadiness and full of battle intent.

 485 Earth-Grade Weapon Shadow

    Five or six days later, in the depths of the Sky Cloud Forest.


    Qiu~~~~


    A streak of wind and lightning flashed through the forest, causing the nearby beasts to tremble in fear.


    A couple breaths later, the streak of wind and lightning stopped on top of a large nearby tree.


    On the tree, a blue-haired youth was puffing gently as the pair of wind and lightning wings faded.


    His left eye scanned across the area, looking for any remaining aura nearby. Even the smallest details, such as the dust floating in the air or the change in the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, couldn¡¯t escape his eye.


    ¡°Here?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be surprised as he looked forward.


    In front of the forest was a small stream, and opposite the stream was a small canyon.


    Zhao Feng remembered this canyon.


    Back then, he was forced into desperation here when Ran Xiaoyuan and a couple other disciples fortunately came and killed the wolf, allowing Zhao Feng to escape.


    He didn¡¯t think that he would arrive here when pursuing the enemy.


    Over the past couple days, Zhao Feng chased the skeletal Division Leader. The latter¡¯s strength was unfathomable and, even though Zhao Feng comprehended the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor who specialized in speed, Zhao Feng still found it hard to catch up.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhao Feng had cultivated the beginning stages of the Wings of Wind and Lightning, he would¡¯ve lost track of the skeletal Division Leader long ago.


    Luckily, although he didn¡¯t have the advantage in speed, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye allowed him to lock on to the skeletal Division Leader.


    With his powerful soul and mental energy level, Zhao Feng¡¯s energy soon recovered.


    ¡°You¡¯re just ahead. Let¡¯s see how much further you can run.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly as he reactivated the pair of wings and flew over the canyon.


    He passed by the canyon and delved further in to the forest.


    The forest suddenly became darker and more mysterious.


    ¡°Could it be that place¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook as he glanced toward the depths of the forest.


    Through his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s analysis, he could tell which direction the skeletal Division Leader was going, and that place was somewhere even Zhao Feng was wary of. If he didn¡¯t need to, he wouldn¡¯t go in.


    ¡°Right now is the best chance to kill the skeletal Division Leader. He¡¯s injured and tired¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng radiated killing intent as he continued further in.


    At the same time, within a misty area where sight was blocked.


    Hu~


    A tattered skeleton that was surrounded by a layer of dark twitching flames appeared.


    ¡°That blue-haired brat¡¯s locked on to me and just won¡¯t go away.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader gritted its teeth in hatred.


    Over the last few days, he tried everything to escape Zhao Feng. For example, expending more Yuan Qi and increasing in speed. It would temporarily be twice as fast as Zhao Feng.


    It would also use secret techniques that would hide its trail and create false auras that would attempt to trick the enemy.


    However, no matter what it did, it couldn¡¯t throw off Zhao Feng.


    In the last two days, it thought that it had successfully thrown off Zhao Feng, so it let out a breath and hid in a concealed place to try to heal.


    However, an hour after that, the Eye of Heaven appeared out of nowhere and sent a burning flame into its soul, deepening its wounds.


    ¡°I¡¯m almost at the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground. The number of experts that can enter here and survive can be counted with one hand.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader snickered as its surrounding flames lit up and it passed through the mist.


    A while later, the skeletal Division Leader came to an area of bones. There was a mysterious power that filled the air.


    There were a hundred graves surrounding the ground in the middle. At the very center was a stone stand similar to an altar.


    Even someone as strong as the skeletal Division Leader felt uneasy and cold as it entered the place. It then carefully took out a broken piece of blood-jade.


    ¡°Even Sovereigns can¡¯t block the curse easily if they come here. Luckily, I¡¯ve been here with the Patriarch before and have methods to counter it.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader sat in the middle of the ground, but it didn¡¯t dare go too close to the graves.


    After entering the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart finally relaxed.


    It wasn¡¯t scared of Zhao Feng coming. It was even looking forward to his arrival. If he came, the curse alone would be a hassle.


    According to what it knew, only a handful of Sovereigns could retreat fully unharmed from here. Average Sovereigns would need to pay a price to enter here.


    Half the time it took to make tea later.


    Qiu!


    The sound of wind and lightning appeared from the misty zone outside.


    ¡°He¡¯s here!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart thumped with joy. It couldn¡¯t wait till Zhao Feng came in.


    ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m coming in.¡±


    A light laugh sounded from the misty zone as he entered the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground.


    As soon as the words were said, a blue-haired youth floated into the place.


    Wu~~


    The power of the curse attempted to erode Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left pupil contracted and unleashed a wisp of terrifying aura that belonged to the ancient times, causing the curse to crumble.


    ¡°That kid really dares to come here? ¡­what!? Aura of ancient times¡­?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s ass almost burned from sitting down as it watched Zhao Feng arrogantly charge in.


    In terms of facing the curse from this place, Zhao Feng was much more relaxed than the skeletal Division Leader.


    He didn¡¯t even need to do anything, while the skeletal Division Leader needed to pay attention to the curse.


    This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s battle power wasn¡¯t restricted whereas the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s was.


    This sudden and unexpected change almost made the skeletal Division Leader cough out blood.


    Wind Lightning Crackling Strike!


    Without saying anything, Zhao Feng instantly attacked.


    Boom!


    A large blade of wind and lightning slashed toward the skeletal Division Leader.


    After losing the gold-and-silver whip, the skeletal Division Leader could only use its remaining arm to clash with Zhao Feng¡¯s blow head-on.


    Ding!


    The skeletal Division Leader was pushed back a couple steps, and a few scorch-marks were left on its body, but it wasn¡¯t very injured.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, let¡¯s see how long you can last with that tattered body.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and said with utter confidence.


    Over the past couple days, Zhao Feng¡¯s battle-power was almost comparable to the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    Zhao Feng had started to use the techniques from the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet in actual battle.


    With every action, he would cause the Lightning Yuan Qi nearby to howl and whistle.


    Furthermore, the power of every move could strengthen over time the more he fought.


    In terms of the soul, Zhao Feng was comparable to the Origin Core Realm. This was because of the Wood Spirit Soul Essence¡¯s effect and the ¡°one with nature¡± intent he learned from Xin Wuheng.


    In terms of intent, he was also close to the peak True Lord Rank.


    This allowed Zhao Feng to have battle-power near the limit of the True Lord Rank even though he was only at the early-stage True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Junior, don¡¯t get arrogant. You can¡¯t defeat me.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression was grim. Its battle-power was weaker than five or six days ago.


    On the contrary, Zhao Feng¡¯s battle-power rose as he continued to perfect it in real battle.


    Peng Peng Peng!


    The skeletal Division Leader retreated, unable to keep up with Zhao Feng¡¯s barrage.


    The skeletal Division Leader could take Zhao Feng¡¯s normal attacks head-on, but Zhao Feng kept using eye-bloodline techniques during critical moments, which would injure the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s soul even more.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s hidden techniques were mainly ¡°ghost techniques¡± that were extremely infuriating for normal experts, but unfortunately for it, Zhao Feng was resilient toward mental energy attacks.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s soul almost at the Origin Core Realm level, some of the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s killing moves were useless.


    ¡°I can only use that move then¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader suddenly gritted its teeth and took out a ring of gold and silver.


    In that instant, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s aura rose half a level and caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to tremble.


    This powerful aura exceeded the True Lord Rank and was possibly comparable to its peak power.


    ¡°Using its life force?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart dropped and his expression changed.


    ¡°Ghost Bone Giant Spirit!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s aura was completely comparable to a Sovereign and its bones suddenly started to grow.


    In just a moment¡¯s time, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s bones were several stories high and intertwined with black flames.


    In front of it, Zhao Feng seemed like a child.


    Furthermore, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s tattered body seemed to merge into the ground beneath him and absorb a power which it used to recover.


    ¡°Die¡­!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s aura was magnificent. Its every action seemed to be the center of the world.


    Under this state, its battle power doubled and it could kill peak True Lord Ranks in one hit.


    Even if Elder Bai came, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to block one punch from the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°What terrifying power. Lu Tianyi from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was only at this level.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart trembled.


    In this critical moment, he didn¡¯t retreat.


    A tinge of insanity appeared in his eyes as the bloodline in his entire body started to tremble with excitement, turning a bone-chilling blue.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Spear!¡±


    Zhao Feng clasped his hands together and a transparent shadow of the Ice Imperial Spear appeared.


    Weng~~


    The air seemed to tremble as an indescribable coldness started to freeze the area.


    ¡°Not good. How is this possible¡­? The shadow of an Earth-Grade weapon?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s terrifying punch started to slow down and freeze after it was punched out.


    It started to shout. Panic and fear appeared in its eyes as it watched Zhao Feng circulate his bloodline power and summon the ice-blue spear shadow.

 486 Soul Slave

    During the time that the skeletal Division Leader panicked, Zhao Feng fully circulated his bloodline power and thrusted his palms forward.


    Shu~~~~~


    The ¡°shadow¡± of the Ice Imperial Spear radiated an ancient majestic aura that seemed to extend throughout limitless ice.


    Crack!


    The incomplete Earth-Grade weapon destroyed the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s attack with ease and proceeded forward, freezing the its body.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s face was full of fear and it tried to retreat, but its movements were abnormally slow.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power to maintain the spear-shadow and thrusted out a second time.


    A mysterious ice-blue light swept across the area.


    Crack!


    The last remaining arm of the skeletal Division Leader was instantly frozen, shattering into pieces.


    At this moment in time, it had lost both arms and only had a body and legs.


    ¡°Stop, you can¡¯t do this~~~!¡±


    As the skeletal Division Leader started to freeze, its eye sockets radiated fear. It used a secret technique to squeeze out even more of its life force.


    Zhao Feng tried his best to continue maintaining the shadow of the spear, but it was becoming unstable.


    The feeling of his power draining was extremely obvious.


    ¡°I can¡¯t maintain it for long. As time passes, my control of it will decrease.¡±


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and stopped his bloodline, retracting the ice-blue spear-shadow.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Destruction!¡±


    Zhao Feng radiated a brilliant glow of wind and lightning, condensing it into a ball.


    Wu~


    The ball of wind and lightning suddenly exploded, sending waves of wind and lightning across a dozen yards.


    With a ¡°boom,¡± the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s frozen body was blasted into the graves below.


    This attack almost broke the skeletal Division Leader into pieces.


    ¡°You¡­ could you really have an incomplete Earth-Grade item¡­?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s bones were almost broken and it tried to struggle.


    It was utterly stunned. If Zhao Feng was able to use the Earth-Grade weapon-shadow a third time, that would be enough to kill it.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do this, retracting his bloodline power instead.


    In reality, Zhao Feng could manage a third blow if he wanted to, but that would drain his bloodline power.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed and landed amongst the graves where he smashed his foot on top of the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s head.


    ¡°Brat, do what you want¡­. If you want to kill me, then do so.¡±


    Although the skeletal Division Leader felt extremely humiliated and angry, he didn¡¯t struggle much.


    He had lost to Zhao Feng utterly. When the shadow of the Earth-Grade weapon appeared, the victor was decided. Unless it was a Sovereign at their peak state, no one could face such power.


    ¡°I can¡¯t let it off that easily¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng squinted his eyes and scanned over the body of the gold-and-silver body of the skeletal Division Leader.


    Zhao Feng knew how tough and strong these bones were. This was the body of a Sovereign, someone who had taken the attacks from Elder Bai and Cang Yuyue head-on.


    Zhao Feng was thinking about whether or not to turn this skeletal Division Leader into a skeleton ghost-corpse.


    Even if he didn¡¯t, this pile of bones was a great material for crafting ghost-corpses.


    This was why Zhao Feng didn¡¯t attack the skeletal Division Leader a third time with the Earth-Grade weapon.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, you currently have two choices. The first is to die and become material for my ghost-corpses, the second is to become my slave.¡±


    Zhao Feng was very straightforward.


    ¡°You¡­ shameless brat¡­!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader roared and struggled, but Zhao Feng¡¯s foot was on its head.


    It would only take a single thought for Zhao Feng to kill the skeletal Division Leader.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s battle-power was not even ten percent of its peak, so it couldn¡¯t resist.


    It wasn¡¯t as if the skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t want to use a secret technique or run, but once it thought of the enemy¡¯s terrifying eye bloodline and his resilience toward mental energy, the skeletal Division Leader felt helpless.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was locked on to the skeletal Division Leader. If the latter made any suspicious movement, he would use an Eye Fire and end its life immediately.


    The skeletal Division Leader knew this as well.


    ¡°Junior¡­ I don¡¯t believe that you will use my body for crafting corpses. Do you even know the first thing about ghost-corpses?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader gave up struggling and a tinge of cunning appeared in its eye sockets.


    It negotiated using the last thing of value to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had stated that he would use the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body if it died and the skeletal Division Leader questioned him about this. If this statement was false, then Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t kill it so easily.


    No one would be willing to kill a Sovereign like that.


    Shua! Shua!


    Two dark-silver ghost-corpses appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right. Their auras had reached the early-stage True Lord Rank.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eye sockets twinkled. It could obviously tell the strength of these two.


    Furthermore, a small black pearl in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand caught the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s attention.


    The two dark-silver ghost-corpses were taken out from this black pearl.


    ¡°That black pearl¡­¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart thumped.


    It specialized in ghost-corpses itself or else it wouldn¡¯t have transformed itself into a skeleton in order to escape the attack of the Ten Great Forces in the first place.


    It was one of the top specialists in this field across the entire Azure Flower Continent.


    The Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl was a sacred item from the Ten Thousand Ghost Emperor, and the pearl¡¯s aura alone made the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart jump. Looking closely at the pearl, it felt the urge to bow down.


    ¡°My patience is limited. Die or become my slave.¡±


    Zhao Feng said impatiently. His expression wasn¡¯t acted out for the sake of doing this. He genuinely just wanted to finish off this business and return to the Canopy Great Country.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes looked toward Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye made the skeletal Division Leader wary and helpless, while the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl gave him unrestrainable greed.


    ¡°If I don¡¯t become a slave, I will definitely die. If I agree, there¡¯s a slight chance that I¡¯ll be able to flip things around in the future, and that pearl will become mine¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader finally made a decision.


    The Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand caught the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s curiosity.


    With its several hundred years of experience, it had never seen a Ghost Dao item at this level. There was probably no other item similar to it across the entire continent.


    If it could counterattack in the future and succeed, then the rewards would be immeasurable.


    ¡°I agree to be your slave, but you have to agree to let me have my own mind.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader agreed.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought about it before agreeing.


    There were two ways to enslave the skeletal Division Leader.


    The first was to turn it into a ghost-corpse and destroy its mind. It would lose control of its body.


    The second was to control the skeletal Division Leader and, although it would have its own consciousness, it would obey Zhao Feng due to the threat on its life.


    The skeletal Division Leader definitely wouldn¡¯t agree to the first method and would rather die instead.


    If it became Zhao Feng¡¯s ghost-corpse without its own consciousness, that would be worse than death.


    At least it had a small bit of hope with the second way.


    For example, if Zhao Feng died, the skeletal Division Leader would become free.


    Therefore, the second method was risky and required the user to be strong.


    After all, this skeletal Division Leader was a Sovereign at its peak and was known for its cunning.


    If a normal expert was to enslave it, they would be killed within minutes.


    ¡°Although the second way is riskier, a slave with intelligence is far more useful than one without.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew the pros and cons, so he agreed without hesitation.


    He was confident in his strength and believed that he could control the skeletal Division Leader.


    After a while of rest, Zhao Feng sat in front of the skeletal Division Leader and gathered his eye power. The little thieving cat sat next to him and kept an eye on the skeletal Division Leader, while the two dark-silver ghost-corpses stood on the latter¡¯s left and right.


    The red flame in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eye sockets dimmed as it sighed in its heart. This junior was more than cautious.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng successfully merged the Dark Heart Seed into the depths of the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s soul.


    This Dark Heart Seed was different from the one on Lin Tong.


    Last time, Zhao Feng forcefully put his Dark Heart Seed into Lin Tong¡¯s mind and, if he had resisted too much, he could have died.


    This time, the skeletal Division Leader helped put the Dark Heart Seed within the depths of its soul.


    Furthermore, the Dark Heart Seed this time had been perfected and cost Zhao Feng several dozen-fold more energy than last time. This meant that the power was much stronger.


    ¡°This method of control involves the Dao of the Soul and is used with an eye bloodline. Is it the Dark Eye Forbidden Page¡­?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was scared but couldn¡¯t resist. On the contrary, it even had to help Zhao Feng.


    The skeletal Division Leader knew very clearly how powerful the Dark Heart Seed was. It was like a bomb that could explode at any time.


    ¡°Not bad.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction.


    The Dark Heart Seed this time was extremely powerful and could take the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s life anytime he wanted.


    ¡°Even if I recover back to my peak, the chance of me breaking this technique silently is lower than ten percent.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression was extremely ugly as it lay on the floor.

 487 Grave Digging

    Within the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground, Zhao Feng sat on the piles of bones and recovered his Yuan Qi.


    Because of his strong mental energy, his Source of True Spirit was replenished within half a day, and it was actually even stronger than before.


    Compared to that, his eye-bloodline power recovery speed was much slower.


    ¡°Maintaining the weapon-shadow takes too much of a toll on my bloodline. It won¡¯t recover without a couple days of rest.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and felt the Ice Imperial Spear in his body.


    The Ice Imperial Spear¡¯s current state was unique; it was sleeping. Furthermore, not all Earth-Grade items could transform into a liquid and merge with the body.


    Because of the Ice Imperial Spear¡¯s specialty, this liquid form was heavily related to the Laws of Water.


    It was because of this that Zhao Feng could use a wisp of the Ice Imperial Spear¡¯s aura and power. Even an actual Sovereign wouldn¡¯t be able to control the Ice Imperial Spear.


    Earth-Grade weapons were split into tiers just like everything else, and for the Purple Saint Partial Spirit to keep the Ice Imperial Spear, it definitely wasn¡¯t an average Earth-Grade weapon.


    Two days later, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline power had mostly recovered.


    On the other hand, the skeletal Division Leader was still laying on the ground and slowly absorbing the air of death within the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground to heal.


    ¡°Too slow.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    He needed to get back to the Canopy Great Country.


    The skeletal Division Leader spoke in a bitter tone, ¡°I was broken into pieces by you all and had to use my life force. I would need at least a year or two to fully recover under normal situations, but I can recover several times faster in the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and inspected the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s state.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body was extremely tough and could withstand almost any attack from anyone under the Origin Core Realm.


    However, once its bones were broken, it would be extremely slow to recover.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you ten more days.¡±


    Zhao Feng estimated that ten days would be enough for the skeletal Division Leader to put all of its bones back together


    Zhao Feng also told the little thieving cat to return the broken hand.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat reluctantly gave the arm and the gold-and-silver whip back to the skeletal Division Leader.


    After all, the skeletal Division Leader was Zhao Feng¡¯s slave and would be more helpful to him the stronger it was.


    Zhao Feng was silent before taking out a drop of Elixir of Life.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes immediately lit up when it saw the drop.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that you would have a legendary item like the Elixir of Life. Although the elixir can¡¯t heal my bones much, it can restore my life foundation, and once that¡¯s healed, the speed of my recover will increase.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was overjoyed as it received the Elixir of Life.


    Its aura started to rise after a while.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. If this continued, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s injuries would heal within half a year and it would become even stronger.


    In this period of time, Zhao Feng started to walk around the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground.


    The large graves caught Zhao Feng¡¯s attention. Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat had come to the altar-like place in the very center before and were still curious about it.


    His gaze turned to the skeletal Division Leader. Maybe this member of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion upper echelon would know some secrets.


    ¡°This is a teleportation-stand that leads to the outside, created by the Patriarch and some others several hundred years ago. It was hard to create even back when we had all the resources in the continent.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice was low.


    _Teleportation-stand to the outside._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped slightly. He knew a little about arrays and had some guesses when he first came here, but he didn¡¯t expect that it was connected to areas outside the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°Does that mean that I can leave the Azure Flower Continent and enter other areas?¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t the frog in a well from back then.


    He had fought with geniuses of two-star sects before and he had a decent knowledge of the outside world.


    ¡°If this was several hundred years ago, yes, but the teleportation-stand here was damaged from the fight back then and hasn¡¯t been used for a long time. It¡¯s hard to say¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader sighed and shook its head.


    It obviously didn¡¯t know whether the stand would work or not.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and started to inspect the area.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s figure started to dart around nearby as its eyes moved back and forth.


    When they entered the room once more, it was empty.


    A scroll appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand, containing words that he didn¡¯t understand even till now, ¡°The Three Saints Palace has become unmovable in the Area of Dust. In the past few days, it even lured several one-star factions to almost break the Curse of One Hundred Graves. Now, the energy of the teleportation array has been used up¡­. This Subordinate will be leaving first¡­.¡°


    Zhao Feng had his guesses.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to analyze that this teleportation array was created with the help of outside forces. The skeletal Division Leader also said that the resources of this continent couldn¡¯t create it.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat started to dig not far away.


    Weng~~


    The entire Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground started to tremble as a powerful invisible curse surged toward the little thieving cat.


    The power of the curse was ten times stronger than usual, and even Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were affected.


    ¡°Stop, that¡¯s the source of the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground¡¯s curse!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression changed dramatically as it tried to stop the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s actions were extremely disrespectful toward the Hundred Graves Forbidden Grounds, challenging its ferocity.


    _Not good!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye caught a trace of the invisible curse power charging toward the little thieving cat.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng circulated his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and sent a wisp of the ancient aura toward the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat smiled and flipped in the air before taking out a mysterious dark dagger.


    The dark dagger created blurs with every movement, and the invisible power of the curse suddenly changed.


    Wu~


    The mysterious dagger trembled and seemed to glow with darkness that murmured in cold raspy tones.


    In that instant, an unimaginably mysterious power descended and made the day turn into night.


    All the power of the curse in this area screeched and dissipated when it came near.


    ¡°Night? Turning the laws of nature around? Could that dagger be a legendary item of the Dao of Assassination?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s mouth was wide open and it couldn¡¯t tell what was happening.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat then stabbed the dagger into the ground and used it as a spade as it kept on digging.


    Both Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were stunned.


    ¡°What¡¯s the history of this cat? How could it be willing to obey Zhao Feng with its intelligence?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t understand the little thieving cat. It instinctively felt as if this little thieving cat was a fox that had lived countless years and knew more things than even it.


    Shua!


    At this moment, Zhao Feng came to the little thieving cat¡¯s side.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and the aura of the mysterious dagger could make even ghosts and gods retreat.


    Wu~


    The mysterious dagger seemed to sense the existence of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and hummed lightly. It didn¡¯t seem to reject Zhao Feng, but it was wary of him.


    ¡°This dagger might be even more mysterious than the Ice Imperial Spear.¡±


    Zhao Feng guessed in his heart.


    Back at the Purple Saint Treasured Palace, the little thieving cat used countless methods to finally obtain this mysterious dagger, and Zhao Feng still remembered the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s fear and panic.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat laughed wickedly and signaled Zhao Feng to help.


    _Fine._


    Zhao Feng shrugged his shoulders and took out a weapon and started to dig as well.


    ¡°How¡­ how can you be so shameless?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was shocked, but then it tried to get up and dig as well. However, it couldn¡¯t do so because its bones hadn¡¯t completely healed yet, so it could only watch the cat and human enthusiastically dig.


    Tok! Tok!


    A grave was soon dug up, revealing a crystalline black coffin.


    ¡°That¡¯s a coffin made from Mystic Yin Black Crystal Stones, which contain the Heaven Earth air of Mystic Yin. They¡¯ve been extinct on the continent for a long time now and are rare even in the outside areas.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader knew that these Mystic Yin Black Crystal Stones were a source of energy for the curses.


    Looking inside closely, there was a skeleton that radiated a strong power and was preserved rather nicely.


    ¡°Interesting. The aura from these bones hasn¡¯t dissipated after so many years and there¡¯s still some remaining aura of the soul. Is it because of the Mystic Yin Black Crystal Stones?¡±


    Zhao Feng was very curious. Through his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he could tell that these bones had an aura similar to his ghost-corpses.


    _Take!_


    A black pearl appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand that sent out a grey mist, taking the bones.


    ¡°Fucking hell, those are True Lord Rank ghost-corpse materials.¡±


    The nearby skeletal Division Leader roared in its heart unwillingly.


    It knew that the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground was created with the bodies of a hundred True Lord Ranks to create such a powerful curse.


    ¡°Hehe¡­ keep digging.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed.


    He could feel the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl¡¯s excitement after taking in one body. It was as if it was ¡°hungry.¡±


    Tok! Tok! Tok!


    The cat and human ignored the power of the curse and kept on digging.


    Watching powerful body after powerful body being absorbed into the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart trembled, ¡°What¡­ what is this brat thinking? Does he want to create an army of ghost corpses?¡±

 488 Hundred Corpse Plan

    On the morning of the second day, the graves were completely emptied. There were only big empty holes that smelled like dirt.


    The human and cat put away the tools and smiled.


    The skeletal Division Leader went from unwillingness to shock, then to envy and jealousy. By the end, he had gotten used to it.


    ¡°A hundred skeletons! Agghhh! A hundred perfectly preserved True Lord Rank skeletons that were kept in Mystic Yin Black Crystal Stone coffins. Each and every one of their auras haven¡¯t dissipated yet.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader screamed in its heart. Unfortunately for it, the person who received all this good fortune wasn¡¯t itself.


    Even if it knew that there were a hundred True Lord Rank corpses underground, it didn¡¯t have the ability to take them.


    On the other hand, a child and a cat managed to dig out the source of the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground¡¯s power.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad. Little thieving cat, you¡¯ve done a lot this time.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was red with excitement. Once these hundred True Lord Rank bodies were refined into ghost-corpses, he would have an entire army of True Lord Ranks.


    Anyone who held such power could sweep across strong countries and clans like child¡¯s play. Even a great country could be destroyed with relative ease.


    Of course, it wasn¡¯t an easy task to craft all these bodies into ghost-corpses.


    In addition, the amount of time and energy required would be extremely great.


    The two True Lord Rank ghost-corpses Zhao Feng already owned had been pillaged. Upgrading a ghost-corpse to the True Spirit Realm would require a long process.


    ¡°En, I¡¯m able to control ghost-corpses, but I¡¯m not a specialist. To refine a hundred True Lord Rank ghost-corpses from the beginning¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced toward the skeletal Division Leader, which made it hiccup.


    A while later.


    ¡°¡­and this magnificent task shall be yours.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and patted the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s shoulder.


    The skeletal Division Leader shook and its bones almost fell all over the place.


    ¡°Although these skeletons all have the foundation of a True Lord Rank, crafting any one of them into a ghost-corpse will require a ton of effort and energy.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader had the heart to cry. Zhao Feng was using it purely as labor. However, he controlled its life, so it had to obey his orders.


    Zhao Feng held the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl and merged his consciousness into it.


    The Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl was damp and covered in mist.


    Two dark-silver ghost-corpses lay in the corner and were being purified by the air of death within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    The powerful auras and souls of the hundred True Lord Rank skeletons started to change after entering the pearl.


    ¡°Hmm? The Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl seems to have a mysterious power that¡¯s extremely suitable for strengthening and growing ghost-corpses.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really research the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl much. After all, his main skills were his eye bloodline and the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance. He only dabbled in ghost-corpses.


    At the rate it was going, these hundred True Lord Rank skeletons would automatically turn into ghost-corpses after a couple years, or perhaps dozens of years.


    Several days later, Iron Dragon Strong Country.


    In the barren desert, a castle was almost covered by sand.


    The once enormous castle had been shattered, and the hideout of the Iron Dragon Alliance had been destroyed.


    Apart from the skeletal Division Leader, the remaining upper echelons of the Iron Dragon Alliance had either been captured or killed. The ones that managed to escape weren¡¯t enough to do anything.


    Although more than a dozen days had already passed, there were still many experts present.


    Old Su, Elder Bai, Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong, and company were all still here.


    Maybe they were watching out for the skeletal Division Leader to return, or maybe they were expecting something else.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng¡¯s gone to pursue a member of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion upper echelon. The situation probably isn¡¯t very good.¡±


    Lin Tong glanced outside and murmured to himself.


    In the depths of his heart, he really admired Zhao Feng, in terms of both strength and courage, but he was hoping that Zhao Feng would be killed so that he could regain his freedom.


    He knew the chance wasn¡¯t very high though. Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and eye powers were something he could only look up to.


    That youth had become an overwhelming prodigy, and a king of the Cloud area after returning.


    ¡°It¡¯s been more than a dozen days, but there¡¯s still no news at all.¡±


    Old Su felt uneasy. No one agreed with Zhao Feng¡¯s choice to follow the skeletal Division Leader.


    Although the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had been destroyed, they were still formidable. Who knew how many methods a Division Leader had up their sleeve?


    ¡°Old Su, you don¡¯t need to worry too much. Zhao Feng doesn¡¯t seem very arrogant. He must have something to rely on if he dares to pursue the skeletal Division Leader alone.¡±


    Elder Bai smiled faintly.


    She didn¡¯t really care about Zhao Feng¡¯s life or death, but she was thinking about what kind of killing move Zhao Feng would have after returning from the ¡°unknown inheritance.¡±


    On this night.


    Qiu~~~


    A brilliant arc of lightning flashed into the castle.


    ¡°I¡¯m back.¡±


    A ripple of wind and lightning blew across the castle.


    Old Su and company felt a slight tingle, but it felt unusually comfortable.


    Everyone¡¯s heart jumped as they glanced toward the blue-haired youth not too far away.


    ¡°You¡¯re finally back. That¡¯s good.¡±


    Old Su was relieved, and many people let out a long breath.


    No one was hopeful that Zhao Feng killed the skeletal Division Leader. It was already a surprise he could come back alive.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to be injured, just tired.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, you¡¯re finally back. We were worried about you.¡±


    Die Ye and Jiang Sanfeng came out from the other side of the castle.


    Zhao Feng came straight to the castle after using his Eye of Heaven, leaving the two behind.


    When they arrived, Zhao Feng had already disappeared.


    After asking around, they were told that Zhao Feng went to pursue the skeletal Division Leader and were shocked.


    Many people didn¡¯t even want to _meet_ a Division Leader, and you¡¯re chasing one by yourself?


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s safe return made the others let out a breath.


    This included Lin Tong, who sighed bitterly. He didn¡¯t escape the fate of being Zhao Feng¡¯s slave.


    Elder Bai glanced at Zhao Feng with a complex expression.


    She thought that, even if Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t able to kill the skeletal Division Leader, he would at least be injured, but he was completely fine.


    At this point in time, everyone glanced curiously toward Zhao Feng.


    What was the final result?


    ¡°Zhao Feng, did you catch up to the skeletal Division Leader?¡±


    Elder Bai asked curiously.


    Everyone, including Old Su, Cang Yuyue, Lin Tong, and the two from the Canopy Great Country, were focused on this question.


    ¡°Did I catch up?¡±


    Zhao Feng was puzzled. Everyone seemed to think that he didn¡¯t even catch up to the skeletal Division Leader because he didn¡¯t look like he fought a battle. It was like he went out for a holiday.


    ¡°Everyone, the skeletal Division Leader problem has been solved. There¡¯s nothing left in the Cloud area. I will leave very soon.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    He felt safe and accomplished after solving everything in the Cloud area.


    Furthermore, he managed to get more than he could have imagined after coming here.


    Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and seemed to become infected by Zhao Feng¡¯s happiness.


    ¡°From today onward, the Iron Dragon Alliance is a thing of the past.¡±


    Old Su clapped his hands.


    He knew that Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t leave easily without solving everything in the Cloud area.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, did you kill the skeletal Division Leader?¡±


    Elder Bai felt that something was off. Zhao Feng only said ¡°solved,¡± not ¡°killed.¡±


    The difference between the two was big.


    Hearing this, everyone¡¯s gaze turned toward Zhao Feng once more.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, how was the skeletal Division Leader problem solved?¡±


    ¡°Is the skeletal Division Leader dead?¡±


    Everyone seemed to be unsatisfied with the word ¡°solved¡± and wanted to know the specifics.


    Old Su¡¯s eyes twinkled and felt as if there was a secret involved.


    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. Although the skeletal Division Leader isn¡¯t dead, it won¡¯t be threatening the Cloud area anymore.¡±


    No one understood Zhao Feng¡¯s smile.


    He didn¡¯t want many people to know that the skeletal Division Leader was conquered by him, especially Elder Bai.


    ¡°The skeletal Division Leader isn¡¯t dead?¡±


    Many people present hiccupped coldly, and a layer of darkness covered their happiness.


    The upper echelon of the Dragon Killing Alliance felt uneasy.


    Although Zhao Feng was strong and there were no more threats in the Cloud area, they still felt uneasy.


    A Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Sub-Division at their peak was already enough to wipe out the Cloud area, and now there was still a Division Leader somewhere out there?


    Lin Tong¡¯s eyebrows locked together. Zhao Feng¡¯s confident smile made him realize that the situation wasn¡¯t what everyone thought it was.


    However, no matter what they asked, Zhao Feng smiled and didn¡¯t give a clear response.


    ¡°Could Zhao Feng have been counter-attacked by the skeletal Division Leader and controlled by it¡­?¡±


    A cold light flashed in Elder Bai¡¯s eyes, but she didn¡¯t make any movement before confirming the truth.


    Furthermore, she couldn¡¯t defeat Zhao Feng easily. The chance of success was only 50%.


    Half a day later, Elder Bai, Cang Yuyue, and company all left.


    Zhao Feng and Old Su were speaking within a secret room under the castle.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, what¡¯s the situation? If you leave like this, how will I feel safe?¡±


    Old Su questioned.


    ¡°You want to know the whereabouts of the skeletal Division Leader?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Old Su gritted his teeth.


    ¡°Hehe, isn¡¯t he right next to you?¡±


    A dark mist spread across the room.


    Hearing this, Old Su¡¯s eyes squinted. A familiar skeleton could be seen in the mist and two dark-red flames twitched in its eye sockets.


    ¡°Skeletal¡­ Division¡­ Leader¡­?¡±


    Old Su¡¯s hair stood on end and he almost fall out of his seat.

 489 Returning to the Canopy Great Country

    The mist slowly started to fade, taking the skeletal Division Leader with it.


    Old Su was unmoving and speechless. He didn¡¯t calm down even after a long time.


    He glanced deeply at the youth in front of him with a complex expression.


    Probably no one would have imagined that Zhao Feng not only defeated the skeletal Division Leader, he controlled it.


    It was laughable that they were suspicious of Zhao Feng ¡°solving¡± the skeletal Division Leader earlier.


    ¡°Indeed, you wouldn¡¯t leave if there was still danger in the Cloud area.¡±


    Old Su let out a breath.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and took back the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    After leaving the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground, Zhao Feng put the skeletal Division Leader into the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    This was its own suggestion.


    The Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl¡¯s environment was extremely suitable for ghost-corpses, and the skeletal Division Leader was practically a ghost-corpse itself.


    Its body and injuries could recover much faster in the Ten Thousand Ghost Peal.


    A while later, Zhao Feng and Old Su walked out of the secret room.


    There were still many people present, including Jiang Sanfeng, Die Ye, Lin Tong, and Princess Jin.


    Everyone found that when Old Su came out, his clothes were wet and he seemed to be shocked, whereas Zhao Feng remained as confident and joyful as before.


    Lin Tong, Princess Jin, and company didn¡¯t know what happened, but even though they were curious about what Zhao Feng and Old Su talked about, they knew that some secrets would remain secrets.


    ¡°Chapter Leader.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye walked over to Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right.


    Zhao Feng nodded toward Old Su, then signaled to Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye and journeyed back to the Broken Moon Clan.


    ¡°Brother Zhao does not need to worry; the Cloud area will be cleansed.¡±


    Old Su sent Zhao Feng and company away with his eyes.


    During the following days, the Cloud area¡¯s situation started to change.


    The Iron Dragon Alliance that once ruled had been defeated in a short couple months.


    This was the end of an era and the start of a new one.


    The Dragon Killing Alliance replaced the Iron Dragon Alliance and created the Dragon Killing Strong Country, mainly led by those that once belonged to the Sky Rich Imperials.


    The Dragon Killing Strong Country conquered both the Sky Rich and the Iron Dragon Strong Countries¡¯ territories, but its main headquarters was in the Cloud Country.


    Although the Dragon Killing Strong Country ruled the Thirteen Countries in name, the true ruler was the Dragon Killing Alliance, which had their own intentions by placing its headquarters in the Cloud Country.


    Several days later, Zhao Feng, Jiang Sanfeng, and Die Ye first returned to the Broken Moon Clan to say goodbye.


    Broken Moon Clan, First Elder¡¯s building.


    ¡°Master, you lost an arm when you saved us back then. I¡¯ll make you a suitable replacement when I return to the Canopy Great Country.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked at First Elder¡¯s empty sleeve and promised.


    As long as he could craft the Wheel of Light and Darkness, First Elder¡¯s would not only recover, he would be stronger than he was in the past.


    Zhao Feng also gave some pills and resources from the Purple Saint Ruins to First Elder, which healed First Elder¡¯s hidden injuries and allowed him to break through to the peak True Human Rank.


    The new Broken Moon Clan Master Yang Gan also successfully reached the True Spirit Realm a couple days ago.


    The entire Broken Moon Clan¡¯s strength had increased by several fold and it was now the number one clan among the Thirteen Clans.


    Adding on True Lord Tiexiao, Lin Tong, and company, Zhao Feng estimated that the Broken Moon Clan was close to ¡°half a star.¡±


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, my only wish is for you to go further.¡±


    First Elder sent Zhao Feng and company away with teary eyes.


    No one knew when Zhao Feng would return after this departure.


    Of course, Zhao Feng did some things before he left. The Dark Heart Seed in Lin Tong was consolidated, and a God¡¯s Eye Mark was forcefully placed on him.


    It was obvious that Lin Tong had the potential to easily break through to the True Lord Rank down the road.


    ¡°With the strengthened Dark Heart Seed and the God¡¯s Eye Mark, even if there is any danger later, my Eye of Heaven can descend.¡±


    Zhao Feng was obviously concerned about the future.


    As his eye strengthened, he could allow the Eye of Heaven to appear here even if he was in the Canopy Great Country.


    The God¡¯s Eye Mark was to be a sensor, showing him where to appear.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, the situation here is stable. When will we leave?¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng asked.


    ¡°There¡¯s one last thing.¡±


    A rare show of warmth appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng went to the depths of a mountain and met his parents, as well as some close relatives of the Zhao family.


    Lord Guanjun was among them.


    Back when Zhao Feng left the Cloud area, First Elder had already sent people to take care of Zhao Feng¡¯s parents and Master.


    Zhao Feng finally left after a couple days with his parents and Lord Guanjun.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng turned into a gust of wind and lightning that left with Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye.


    Lord Guanjun¡¯s face was full of pride when he sent his disciple away.


    Shua!


    An expressionless youth appeared out of nowhere and stood next to Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°Master, I can¡¯t stay with you anymore. I will need to leave the Cloud area as well.¡±


    Bei Moi bowed toward Lord Guanjun.


    Lord Guanjun felt satisfied. With disciples like Zhao Feng and Bei Moi, he could die without regret.


    Back then, Bei Moi had to make a choice, and, although he was a disciple of Master Haiyun, Bei Moi¡¯s loyalty still belonged to Lord Guanjun.


    ¡°I waited for a day to counterattack, but unfortunately, Brother Zhao is too strong.¡±


    Bei Moi watched as Zhao Feng vanished into the sky.


    This junior martial brother of his had climbed step-by-step, from an ant at the bottom of the clan to a miraculous star, until he reached a point where he could exchange blows with Elders of the Clan.


    He had great success. Not only had he changed the fate of the Broken Moon Clan, he became a ruler of the Cloud area.


    Several days later, the news of the Dragon Killing Strong Country being formed spread across the Cloud area.


    The strongest power right now was the Dragon Killing Alliance, which stood above every clan and family.


    Apparently, the First Elder was Zhao Feng, who had left not long ago.


    He didn¡¯t appear in the opening ceremony, but no one questioned his status or strength.


    People would still talk about First Elder for years to come, even though Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t return for a long time.


    Above the desolate lands, a large gold-and-green bird spread its wings and flew at a speed comparable to a True Lord Rank.


    The bird was carrying three people as it slowly left the Cloud area.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, who knows how much of a shock you¡¯ll create when you return to the Canopy Great Country.¡±


    Die Ye laughed.


    Even in an era like this, the number of geniuses that were as overwhelming as Zhao Feng could be counted with one hand.


    Zhao Feng was only eighteen right now, while Yu Tianhao and Goddess Bing Wei were almost ten years older than him.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, your cultivation has reached the early-stage True Lord Rank. Apart from Yu Tianhao, probably no one is your match.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng said respectfully.


    Zhao Feng received the news that Yu Tianhao had reached the early-stage True Lord Rank after returning from his inheritance and that his powerful aura stunned the older True Lord Ranks.


    ¡°Seems like Yu Tianhao reached the early-stage True Lord Rank half a year ago.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    Across the entire continent, only Yu Tianhao seemed to be comparable to Zhao Feng.


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye both thought so too.


    However, a calm and normal youth surfaced in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Xin Wuheng and Yu Tianhao both entered the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance, but only Yu Tianhao came out.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng said.


    _Xin Wuheng didn¡¯t return?_


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised.


    In the eyes of someone else, if one didn¡¯t return from the inheritances, they were dead.


    Zhao Feng agreed, but there were always exceptions.


    For example, Zhao Yufei. She didn¡¯t return from the inheritance, and not only was she fine, she had great fortune in front of her.


    Zhao Feng estimated that no one from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was as lucky as Zhao Yufei. Even Zhao Feng himself couldn¡¯t be compared to her.


    After all, she was going to control the entire inheritance.


    One had to know that the Purple Saint Ruins was ranked above all the other inheritances.


    ¡°There¡¯s three things I need to do after I return to the Canopy Great Country.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    The first thing was to give the Elixir of Life to the mysterious elder of the Iron Blood Religion and return the favor.


    The second was to craft a Wheel of Light of Darkness for First Elder.


    The third thing was about his fianc¨¦e ¨C Liu Qinxin.


    There wasn¡¯t much difficulty for the first two tasks, but Zhao Feng¡¯s head hurt thinking about the third task.


    He promised Liu Qinxin when he escaped the Flooding Lake City that he would marry her someday when he had nothing important left.


    Currently, he had stabilized the Cloud area¡¯s situation and now didn¡¯t really have anything on his mind.


    This meant that it was time to stick to his promise.


    ¡°Marriage?¡±


    An elegant and calm goddess appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    He didn¡¯t dislike Liu Qinxin, and he won a bet against her due to the flaw in her heart when he escaped. However, this also made him feel guilty and sympathetic.


    At the end, he made a promise, even though he knew that Liu Qinxin might not believe him.


    Two months later, the gold-and-green bird passed by a section of the Northern Continent and finally arrived at the borders of the Canopy Great Country in front of a raging river.


    ¡°The Flooding Lake City is in front of this river, right?¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, we need to pass through the Flooding Lake City to get back to headquarters, but the Flooding Lake Liu family¡­¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng couldn¡¯t help but hesitate when he spoke up to here. He knew that the ¡°pursuit¡± of Zhao Feng from the Flooding Lake City Lord hadn¡¯t ended yet.

 490 Seeking Revenge on Flooding Lake?

    The River of Rage was one of the three big rivers of the Northern Continent, and it passed by the Canopy Great Country. The raging river seemed to split the continent into two pieces.


    The current was extremely powerful and could devour Ascended Realms with just one wave.


    There were windstorms above the river that could rip flying beasts into pieces.


    Even normal True Human Ranks wouldn¡¯t be able to fly across this river easily.


    There were all sorts of legends regarding the River of Rage.


    Apparently, the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance once appeared here tens of thousands of years ago.


    On this day, a weird scene occurred at the River of Rage.


    Wu~


    A deep hum came from the center of the waves as a faint green whirlpool appeared.


    When this green whirlpool appeared, the water became dead-silent, as if it was frozen.


    Weng~~


    The green whirlpool spun slowly, as if reaching the other side of space.


    Several breaths later, the whirlpool suddenly stopped and, with a ¡°shua,¡± a normal-looking man with closed eyes surfaced.


    The River of Rage was enough to rip apart normal True Spirit Realms, but the location near the man was extremely calm.


    ¡°Azure Flower Continent? Looks like I¡¯m back.¡±


    The green-robed man opened his eyes. The normal-looking face had a pair of eyes that were mysterious and unfathomable, as if he had experienced countless lives and rebirths.


    This man seemed only twenty or so years old, but gave a feeling that he was different from others his age.


    If the other geniuses of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering were here, everyone would be shocked, including the five overwhelming prodigies.


    This green-robed man was Xin Wuheng, who only just returned from the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing left to care about here.¡±


    Xin Wuheng stood still for a long time before sighing.


    He didn¡¯t leave the River of Rage, just flowing with the current.


    Being one of the three large rivers, the River of Rage was said to reach the end of the continent and connect with the ocean.


    ¡°Outside the continent is the limitless ocean¡­.¡±


    Xin Wuheng closed his eyes and his small body was soon engulfed by the raging waves.


    On the third day that Xin Wuheng was floating.


    Sou!


    A large green-and-gold bird struggled to fly across the River of Rage.


    Zhao Feng and company looked down at the opposite shore of the River of Rage.


    ¡°The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance descended here tens of thousands of years ago and seemed to split the heavens and the earth.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but think about the past as he passed here a second time.


    When he came here the first time, he didn¡¯t know anyone and wasn¡¯t familiar with anything.


    This time around, he was relaxed and had a glint of power in his eyes.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, you¡¯re really going to the Flooding Lake City?¡±


    Die Ye asked once more.


    The Flooding Lake City was one of the branches of the main Liu family, and Empress Qin of the Liu family was an important figure of the Imperials.


    Over the past couple years, the fight between the Iron Blood Religion and the Imperials hadn¡¯t stopped.


    Simply said, the Liu family was the Iron Blood Religion¡¯s enemies.


    Even if there wasn¡¯t this connection, everyone knew the relationship between Zhao Feng and the Flooding Lake City Lord.


    ¡°Since we¡¯re going past there anyway, we¡¯ll have to see them.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hesitate at all.


    Firstly, he was here to prove his promise, and secondly, Master Teigan lived nearby.


    Zhao Feng needed his help to craft a Wheel of Light and Darkness for First Elder.


    Half a day later, the gold-and-green bird approached the Flooding Lake City.


    ¡°A flying beast at the True Mystic Rank!¡±


    The guards on the city walls trembled in fear.


    It wasn¡¯t rare to see a True Human Rank, but those at the True Mystic Rank and higher were rare.


    True Lord Ranks were figures that ruled their own places and were major powers. From this, one could see how precious a True Mystic Rank flying beast was.


    There weren¡¯t many flying beasts at such a level in the Flooding Lake City.


    ¡°Inspect them closely. They aren¡¯t from the Flooding Lake City.¡±


    The guards on the wall immediately told their higher-ups.


    ¡°Hmm? That blue-haired youth looks familiar.¡±


    A few of the guards focused on Zhao Feng and instinctively turned toward a poster near the city wall.


    The poster was slightly tattered, but a blue-haired youth and a little cat could be seen on it.


    ¡°Oh my lord!¡±


    ¡°The number one criminal of the Flooding Lake City? Am I dreaming?¡±


    The guards were dazed. This was the first time a criminal had come without a disguise.


    However, before the guards could react, the bird flew past.


    A while later.


    ¡°Zhao Feng? You¡¯re sure it¡¯s him?¡±


    A slightly excited voice came from a purple-armored youth.


    ¡°Young master Liu Yuan.¡±


    The guards all bowed.


    The one receiving the guards¡¯ report was Young master Liu Yuan, who had reached the True Human Rank.


    If Zhao Feng was here, he would definitely recognize this person.


    This was the person who had greeted him when he first came to the Flooding Lake City, and if weren¡¯t because of this person, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t have battled with Liu Qinxin.


    When Zhao Feng escaped from the city back then, Liu Yuan came to pursue Zhao Feng, but was instantly defeated by Zhao Feng¡¯s eye technique.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I didn¡¯t think you¡¯d return here after two years¡­. An overwhelming prodigy?¡±


    Liu Yuan took a deep breath and remembered the past with a complex expression.


    Sou!


    A glint flashed in his eyes as he sped toward the direction the gold-and-green bird went in.


    Yet, in terms of speed, the bird was at the True Mystic Rank and was obviously much faster than Liu Yuan.


    Liu Yuan tried his best but couldn¡¯t catch up.


    ¡°An overwhelming prodigy? The criminal of the Flooding Lake City is just going to pass by like that?¡±


    Liu Yuan was extremely unwilling. He didn¡¯t even know why he wanted to catch up. Maybe it was because he had been defeated and wasn¡¯t resolved.


    Compared to that, Zhao Feng being a criminal was just an excuse.


    In reality, if the gold-and-green bird didn¡¯t stop, Liu Yuan definitely wouldn¡¯t catch up.


    Putting aside those at the True Human Rank, even most True Mystic Ranks couldn¡¯t catch up.


    Maybe the heavens listened to Liu Yuan¡¯s internal scream, because the gold-and-green dot suddenly slowed down and landed in the center of the Flooding Lake City, which was the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s Palace.


    Back then, a sparring session was held here for the marriage.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Three figures landed in front of the City Lord¡¯s Palace.


    The blue-haired youth had a rare look of fond reminiscence. After all, he had stayed here for half a year.


    However, Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye didn¡¯t have such emotions.


    ¡°This is the center of the Flooding Lake Liu family and the City Lord is extremely famous. He¡¯s only been a True Lord Rank for two years but has already defeated several old True Lord Ranks.¡±


    The two were uneasy.


    The Iron Blood Religion and Flooding Lake Liu family were on opposite sides and Zhao Feng was a fugitive from them.


    Under normal circumstances, they wouldn¡¯t do this even if they had a hundred guts.


    On top of that, the poster of Zhao Feng was still on the wall.


    ¡°Eh? Isn¡¯t that the son-in-law from back then?¡±


    ¡°Son-in-law? Zhao Feng¡¯s back?¡±


    Discussion broke out in front of the City Lord¡¯s Palace.


    After all, Zhao Feng had stayed here for half a year and many people recognized him.


    ¡°Chapter Leader¡­ are you thinking of taking down the Flooding Lake City right now?¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng felt uneasy.


    More and more people gathered around and there were even experts at the True Spirit Realm.


    However, they were wary of the cultivation of these three, especially Zhao Feng who had become an overwhelming prodigy.


    It seemed as if Zhao Feng had no intentions of backing down or evading.


    ¡°Back then, Zhao Feng shamelessly ran away and was chased across the entire country. Now that he¡¯s broken through to the True Lord Rank, does he want to take revenge?¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye thought. Even Liu Yuan, who had caught up, thought so.


    Back then, Liu Yuan could be said to have witnessed the entire process.


    ¡°The Flooding Lake City Lord forced Zhao Feng into the marriage, which ended up forcing him to join the Iron Blood Religion. Now that Zhao Feng¡¯s become an overwhelming prodigy, he¡¯s said to have the battle-power of a True Lord Rank¡­.¡±


    Liu Yuan¡¯s heart jumped when he thought up to here.


    Zhao Feng was definitely here to take revenge.


    ¡°Go tell the City Lord quickly!¡±


    Liu Yuan couldn¡¯t help but think what would happen if a True Lord Rank started to attack within the city.


    On one side, he went to report to the City Lord, and on the other side, he made his own preparations.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, long time no see.¡±


    Liu Yuan squeezed out a smile as he came over.


    The title of ¡°overwhelming prodigy¡± made others respectful.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s aura was subdued, it wasn¡¯t concealed on purpose, and the elder generation members were stunned.


    ¡°Liu Yuan, you¡¯ve come right on time. Go tell the City Lord that I wish to meet him. I¡¯ve come to fulfill my promise of marriage.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze turned to Liu Yuan and smiled.


    He obviously still remembered Liu Yuan.


    If it weren¡¯t because of him, he wouldn¡¯t have entered the fight and be in all this trouble in the first place.


    ¡°What¡­? See the City Lord? Fulfill the marriage?¡±


    Liu Yuan and company were stunned. Even Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye were dazed.


    Wasn¡¯t Zhao Feng here to seek revenge?

 491 Qin Sword Palace Master

    In an elegant building within the City Lord¡¯s Palace.


    A man and woman were sitting opposite each other.


    ¡°Qin Sword Palace Master, you came all the way to the Flooding Lake City for the Sky Qin Nine Music?¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord sat upright, but there was coldness in his expression.


    The woman opposite him looked around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years of age and contained an indescribable elegance.


    It was hard to imagine that this beauty was the leader of one of the eight great forces of the Canopy Great Country ¨C the Qin Sword Palace.


    ¡°Liu Jiutian, we¡¯ve known each other for a while. The Sky Qin Nine Music is a supreme skill in the Dao of the Qin and is related to the Qin Sword Nine Mystic Technique of the Qin Sword Palace. The music isn¡¯t of much use to you.¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master smiled and tried to persuade the Flooding Lake City Lord.


    ¡°I know that the Sky Qin Nine Music is extremely alluring to you. Empress Qin is also very interested in it.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord said calmly. No sign of any emotion could be seen.


    ¡°Empress Qin? She came to find you too?¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    Empress Qin¡¯s status was very high and even the Palace Master was slightly wary of her.


    Furthermore, the Qin Sword Palace and the Liu family were both on the Imperials¡¯ side.


    Empress Qin and the Qin Sword Palace Master were the two women in the great country who had the highest status and strength.


    If the two of them wanted the same thing, even True Lord Ranks would feel pressured, as both sides weren¡¯t to be offended.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already rejected Empress Qin.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord said.


    ¡°You¡¯ve rejected Empress Qin?¡±


    Hearing this, the Qin Sword Palace Master was half happy and half worried.


    She was happy that Empress Qin didn¡¯t get it, but worried that the City Lord wouldn¡¯t give it to herself either if he had already offended Empress Qin.


    ¡°The music was left behind by Qinxin¡¯s mother, so Qinxin treasures it. Even if it¡¯s useless to me, I won¡¯t give it out easily.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord shook his head, showing his decision.


    The Qin Sword Palace Master wasn¡¯t surprised. The Flooding Lake City Lord was someone who was extremely loyal to his feelings. It wasn¡¯t going to be easy to persuade him.


    She started to think about what could be used to move the Flooding Lake City Lord.


    Right at this time, urgent footsteps sounded outside the door.


    ¡°City Lord, not good~~~~!¡±


    A loud shout came from outside.


    _Hmm?_


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was slightly angered, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    This building was a place where the City Lord entered seclusion.


    Usually, when the City Lord was here, no one would dare to interrupt him.


    Furthermore, he was in a discussion with the Qin Sword Palace Master right now.


    ¡°Did something big happen?¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master was also curious.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord harrumphed.


    Shua!


    A shadow landed in the corner of the room, ¡°Reporting to the City Lord, Zhao Feng has returned.¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s returned? Zhao¡­ Zhao Feng?¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s body froze.


    ¡°Zhao Feng? Could it be one of the overwhelming prodigies? The one that escaped the marriage?¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master revealed a puzzled expression.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s right outside the City Lord¡¯s Palace and is asking for you¡­.¡±


    The figure said carefully.


    However, before his words even finished, the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s eyes turned silver and red and released a terrifying aura.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you still have the face to come back to the Flooding Lake City? You¡¯re courting death~~~!¡±


    A roar boomed across the entire Flooding Lake City.


    A wave of red light appeared above the City Lord¡¯s Palace and resonated with the Fire Yuan Qi.


    In that instant, everyone from the Consolidated Realm to the True Spirit Realm felt an intense heat.


    It was as if lava was trying to erupt from the ground.


    When the intent of a True Lord Rank was fully released, every True Spirit Realm within a thousand miles would feel the change in the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    ¡°City Lord!¡±


    ¡°Greetings, City Lord!¡±


    The crowd in front of the City Lord¡¯s Palace bowed down in fear.


    At this instant, countless people looked at the magnificent man floating in the sky ¨C the Flooding Lake City Lord.


    ¡°Such a powerful aura. Normal True Lord Ranks probably aren¡¯t his match.¡±


    Die Ye and Jiang Sanfeng exchanged shocked glances.


    They had participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and were extremely knowledgeable.


    In his current angered state, the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s fire skills reached an incredible level.


    Back when Zhao Feng had run away, the Flooding Lake City Lord broke through to the True Lord Rank while he was in a state very similar to the one he was in now.


    ¡°City Lord Liu, this junior is here to greet you. Back then-¡±


    Zhao Feng bowed. No matter what, this was Liu Qinxin¡¯s father.


    ¡°Brat, how dare you talk about back then!? Because of you, Qinxin¡¯s name was tarnished and the Flooding Lake Liu family became a joke.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord roared, his voice booming like thunder.


    Zhao Feng was unmoving and calm, not taking the City Lord¡¯s words seriously.


    Back then, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that the City Lord had forced him to fight, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t have been engaged to Liu Qinxin and forced to escape to begin with.


    Zhao Feng felt guilty when Liu Qinxin caught up, so he made a promise to compensate.


    ¡°You¡¯ve come right on time¡­. I shall take revenge for Qinxin!¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s roaring voice contained sorrow.


    However, he didn¡¯t fully lose his mind.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had reached the early-stage True Lord Rank and was comparable to his own. Once the two fought here, many innocent people would be injured.


    Although the Flooding Lake City Lord was confident, he wasn¡¯t sure if he could kill Zhao Feng in one blow.


    ¡°Seek revenge? What happened to Qinxin?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook and he couldn¡¯t help but asked worriedly.


    From the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s tone, it seemed like Qinxin had been in an accident.


    At the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, the Flooding Lake City Lord only had ill intent toward Zhao Feng, but he wouldn¡¯t do anything due to the Iron Blood Religion.


    However, now it seemed as if the ill intent had turned into revenge.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re a prodigy of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, do you not know that Qinxin hasn¡¯t returned from her inheritance?¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord laughed coldly and glared at Zhao Feng.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    At this point in time, many spectators had been evacuated, leaving behind only Zhao Feng and company within a hundred yards.


    ¡°Qinxin hasn¡¯t come back?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he turned toward Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye for confirmation.


    The two nodded their heads slightly.


    They had heard that Liu Qinxin hadn¡¯t returned, but it wasn¡¯t much of a big deal since they thought Zhao Feng was here to seek revenge.


    ¡°Why is it like this?¡±


    After confirming this news, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart seemed to be hammered and he was dazed.


    In his heart, he was disappointed, regretful, and guilty.


    Zhao Feng knew that if Liu Qinxin hadn¡¯t returned by now, the chance of her being alive was extremely small.


    After all, not everyone was like Zhao Yufei, who had heaven defying luck.


    ¡°Qinxin likes to be quiet and alone. If it weren¡¯t because of you, she wouldn¡¯t have participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord roared and turned into a streak of red light that charged toward Zhao Feng on the ground.


    At this moment in time, everyone near the City Lord¡¯s Palace was already evacuated and Zhao Feng was dazed. This was the best chance to attack.


    ¡°Mystic Fire Scorching Demon!¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s figure instantly came close and he thrust out a large wave of scorching flames that seemed to burn even the air.


    _Not good!_


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye only felt the air become filled with a red light, and even their protective Qi of True Spirit couldn¡¯t stop it.


    This was just the aura of the attack.


    It was hard to imagine how strong the attack itself was.


    ¡°No wonder the Flooding Lake City Lord evacuated everyone.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye cursed.


    Although they believed that Zhao Feng could block the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s attack, they might be injured in the fight.


    ¡°You two retreat first.¡±


    A low murmur sounded in their ears.


    Weng~


    A slightly numbing sensation hit the two and created a whirlwind that pushed them dozens of yards back.


    The next moment.


    Boom!


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s scorching palm thudded onto the ground.


    The area in front of the City Lord¡¯s Palace shook and a forty or fifty-yard-deep hole was created.


    Si!


    The experts nearby all took in a cold breath and felt the wave of hot air blast over them.


    Bam!


    Although the power of this palm was extremely condensed, just the slightest ripple made part of the City Lord¡¯s Palace wall fall.


    ¡°To save us, Chapter Leader¡­.¡±


    Die Ye reacted and couldn¡¯t help but be sad. Just now, they saw Zhao Feng use a technique to send them out of the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s attack range while he didn¡¯t seem to resist at all.


    Looking at the smoking black hole, the two were sweating coldly.


    In their eyes, although Zhao Feng was strong, he didn¡¯t cultivate any body-strengthening techniques and couldn¡¯t block the attacks of a True Lord Rank head-on.


    Furthermore, the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s Mystic Fire Scorching Heaven Manual had reached a high level and its offensive abilities were extremely strong.


    Shua!


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s fiery figure froze when he got close to the hole.


    ¡°City Lord Liu, I feel guilty about Qinxin.¡±


    A sigh came from the air and, with a gust of wind and lightning, the figure of a blue-haired youth appeared.


    ¡°What great use of wind and lightning. While pushing those two away, he also dodged the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s attack. I heard that Zhao Feng went into a mysterious inheritance. Who knows what he got from it?¡±


    Not far away, the Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s eyes twinkled.

 492 Qin Sword Twin Desolation

    ¡°You brat, we haven¡¯t met for a year and you¡¯ve already reached the True Lord Rank. I¡¯d like to see the battle-power of an overwhelming prodigy.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was extremely surprised that his attack missed, and his anger boiled.


    Although the two hadn¡¯t fought head-on yet, the Flooding Lake City Lord could sense Zhao Feng¡¯s terrifying speed.


    In just an instant, Zhao Feng not only dodged the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s attack, he also saved Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye.


    Normal True Lord Ranks might be able to dodge the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s attack, but to save some bystanders at the same time? Not likely.


    Hu~~


    With a flash of red, the Flooding Lake City Lord disappeared and reappeared several yards away from Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Mystic Fire Sealing Heaven Punch!¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s fist was like a volcano with a heavily chaotic aura that locked off every path of retreat.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart dropped slightly. The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s intent and power surpassed other early-stage True Lord Ranks.


    This fist was focused on preventing retreat and couldn¡¯t be dodged easily.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng disappeared in a gust of wind and lightning.


    Boom!


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s punch managed to hit a ripple of wind and lightning while the real Zhao Feng flashed above the Flooding Lake City Lord.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s merged wind and lightning into his movement and can¡¯t be seen with the naked eye.¡±


    The nearby Qin Sword Palace Master was stunned. Although Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t displayed any battle-power yet, his speed was definitely among the top five in the Canopy Great Country.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was heading toward the clouds. It was as if he didn¡¯t want the fight to spread across the Flooding Lake City.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was slightly surprised, but this was good for him since he could go all out.


    ¡°Mystic Fire Exploding Cloud!¡±


    An eye-catching flaming red cloud exploded, creating ripples that swept across an area of two miles.


    The terrifying power made the hearts of the spectators tremble. Many of them felt extremely hot and started to sweat.


    ¡°The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s already started to use his wide-range attacks.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, let¡¯s see how that brat dodges.¡±


    The True Spirit Realm experts discussed.


    Within the flaming cloud, a blue-haired youth radiated an aura of wind and lightning that blasted the clouds into bits.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord was starting to use more and more powerful attacks.


    However, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t attacked at all and evaded the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s offense with ease.


    Even some of the Ascended Realms below could see that Zhao Feng¡¯s speed easily surpassed the Flooding Lake City Lord.


    ¡°Junior, why aren¡¯t you attacking?¡±


    The anger in the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s heart brewed but he was slightly puzzled. Thinking back to his history with Zhao Feng and how he had sent people after this youth for years, the City Lord¡¯s love for him had turned to anger and, now, killing intent.


    Of course, when Zhao Feng arrived, the City Lord realized that it wasn¡¯t easy to take him down.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t fighting back and was allowing the Flooding Lake City Lord to send a barrage of attacks.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord wasn¡¯t dumb. It wasn¡¯t hard for him to see that this rising star¡¯s strength was most likely above his own.


    ¡°When I came to the Flooding Lake City, I was forced into this marriage by the Flooding Lake City Lord, but in that half a year, the Flooding Lake City Lord gave me pointers and large amounts of resources¡­.¡±


    Memories appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Back then, he was chased out of his home and was a weakling that wasn¡¯t familiar with the Canopy Great Country.


    That was a low-point in Zhao Feng¡¯s life.


    In that period of time, he used the identity of the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s son-in-law to receive good resources and cultivate with ease. Apart from forcing him into the marriage, the Flooding Lake City Lord genuinely admired him and gave him resources. He truly thought of Zhao Feng as his son-in-law.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the City Lord had invested so much emotionally, he wouldn¡¯t have gotten so angry over Zhao Feng¡¯s escape.


    ¡°I lived the lowest point of my life in the Flooding Lake City. After that came my rise. I appreciate your help. Furthermore, Qinxin¡­¡±


    When Zhao Feng thought up to here, his heart was filled with gratefulness and guilt, especially since Qinxin seemed to have had an accident in the inheritance.


    Normally, when one didn¡¯t return from an inheritance, their chance of death was 99%.


    It was because of this that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t willing to counterattack.


    ¡°Liu Jiutian, you probably won¡¯t be able to catch or kill this brat alone.¡±


    The soft voice of a woman sounded.


    The owner of this voice was the Qin Sword Palace Master.


    ¡°Qin Sword Palace Master, if you help me kill him, I¡¯ll owe you a favor.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord said.


    If he wasn¡¯t able to take down Zhao Feng in his own territory, not only would he lose face, the entire Liu family¡¯s name would be tarnished.


    ¡°Brother Liu is too kind. The Iron Blood Religion is our enemy.¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master smiled and laughed in her heart. She hadn¡¯t participated because she was waiting for this ¡°favor.¡±


    ¡°If I can help Liu Jiutian take down Zhao Feng, not only will he give me the Sky Qin Nine Music, I¡¯ll also be able to take what Zhao Feng got from the mysterious inheritance¡­.¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s heart moved when she thought up to here.


    It was due to this that she had to help the Flooding Lake City Lord take down Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you betrayed the Liu family¡¯s trust and love when you ran away. How dare you come back to the Flooding Lake City? I shall take you down.¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s expression went cold as a Qin and a shining sword appeared in front of her.


    She held the Qin in one hand while controlling the sword with her other.


    In that instant, the sound of thundering horses surged toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Qin Sword Twin Desolation!¡±


    The sword glowed with a three-colored light as it spat out beams of sword-light that pierced toward Zhao Feng.


    The combination of the Qin and Sword was perfect.


    The sound from the Qin became an invisible power that disrupted and shocked the soul and could harm the weaker organs of the body.


    With this Qin, even an army wouldn¡¯t be able to get close to the Qin Sword Palace Lord. Those under the True Lord Rank could be instantly killed.


    The sword technique was the legendary flying sword technique, which allowed one to control a sword through the air and send sword-beams continuously from every direction.


    ¡°Not good, it¡¯s the Qin Sword Palace Master!¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye exclaimed.


    The two hadn¡¯t realized that there was another True Lord Rank here apart from the Flooding Lake City Lord, and it was even a major figure like the Qin Sword Palace Master.


    One Emperor, three sects, four families. The eight great forces of the Canopy Great Country decided the fate of the country.


    The Qin Sword Palace Master was a leader of one of the three sects.


    Her status was comparable to the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion.


    The situation instantly changed when the Qin Sword Palace Master attacked.


    Her Qin Sword Twin Desolation attack came from the back and pincered Zhao Feng.


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye couldn¡¯t help but curse, ¡°This Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s extremely shameless. Even when they have more people, she¡¯s using sneak attacks.¡±


    In terms of battle-power, the Qin Sword Palace Master wasn¡¯t exceptional among the top experts, but in terms of troublesomeness, she was definitely amongst the top.


    The combination of Qin and Sword made most True Lord Ranks¡¯ heads hurt.


    ¡°Good! The Qin Sword Palace Master is said to be a specialist in teamwork. If her Qin Sword Twin Desolation works in tandem with another True Lord Rank, they are very likely to kill the enemy.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s eyes lit up as he saw the Qin Sword Palace Master attack.


    ¡°Qin Wind Sword Rain!¡±


    The sound of the Qin in the air suddenly became chaotic as sword-beams covered the sky, closing off Zhao Feng¡¯s path of retreat.


    The Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s attack was not limited to just the physical world; her Qin could also shake the soul.


    ¡°Where did this woman come from, and how dare she interrupt us?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression dimmed. The Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s attack was restricting his movement.


    He was only not attacking the Flooding Lake City Lord because of his help in the past and because of Liu Qinxin.


    However, he didn¡¯t know this woman. This meant that he didn¡¯t need to hold back.


    Zhao Feng harrumphed coldly as he sent a chain of wind and lightning thrashing around and causing havoc.


    Boom! Bam~~~


    The Qin Wind Sword Rain shattered from the chaotic chain of wind and lightning.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord, who was currently closing in, felt a numbing sensation and was pushed back.


    ¡°Such a powerful use of wind and lightning!¡±


    The expression of the two True Lord Ranks changed dramatically. Their attacks had been shattered into pieces by just one move from Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    Wind and lightning flashed.


    ¡°Watch out!¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord warned.


    In the next instant, a powerful gust of wind and a numbing sensation descended upon the Qin Sword Palace Master.


    Shua!


    A blue-haired figure appeared next to her.


    ¡°Such speed¡­ how is this possible?¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s face lost color. One hand was holding the Qin while the other was controlling the sword and she couldn¡¯t react in time.


    It was obvious that the speed Zhao Feng displayed before was him conserving his power. His current speed was almost twice as fast as before.


    Beng~~


    A ball of wind and lightning condensed on Zhao Feng¡¯s palm and shattered the Qin in front of the Qin Sword Palace Master.


    ¡°You¡­ you broke my Six Combined Swaying Qin?¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s elegance disappeared and was replaced by anger, panic, and fear.


    Shu~~~


    Killing intent flashed in her eyes as her other hand controlled the sword and turned it into a three-colored streak of light that pierced toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye suddenly released a power that seemed to be able to shake the Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s mind and soul.


    Dang!


    The flying sword being controlled by the Qin Sword Palace Master suddenly fell from the air.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was comparable to a Sovereign and his mental energy pressure almost made the Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s mind shatter.


    ¡°Save¡­ save me¡­.¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s face was as white as paper. Her hair and clothes blew in the wind, revealing snow-white skin.


    ¡°This will teach you to interfere in someone else¡¯s business.¡±


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly kicked outward.


    Bam!


    The foot landed on the Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s chest.


    ¡°You¡­!¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master felt a mixture of embarrassment and hatred as she vomited blood and went flying.

 493 Sky Saint Qin Inheritance.

    With a ¡°bam," the ruler of one of the eight great forces of the Canopy Great Country was sent flying from the sky.


    The experts of the Flooding Lake City were dazed, while Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye¡¯s eyes almost bulged out.


    It wasn¡¯t as if they thought that Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t protect himself against the two True Lord Ranks. After all, they heard rumors about Zhao Feng in the Cloud area, but it was still shocking.


    ¡°He indeed deserves the title of ¡®overwhelming prodigy.¡¯ The Qin Sword Palace Master couldn¡¯t fight back at all. Even if those two work together, they can¡¯t stop him at all.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s heart was filled with excitement after the shock passed.


    ¡°Chapter Leader¡¯s way too casual. How could he kick that part of a woman?¡±


    Die Ye¡¯s face was slightly red.


    However, she could tell that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t kick there on purpose. It was as if the Qin Sword Palace Master was only a skeleton in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    At the same moment.


    Hua!


    The experts within the Flooding Lake City reacted and broke out into chaos.


    ¡°He¡¯s too fast!¡±


    ¡°How can the difference between True Lord Ranks be so big?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions were too fast, so most of the people didn¡¯t see it clearly. However, they _did_ see the Qin Sword Palace Master get sent flying with one kick, and they were stunned.


    Si!


    The Flooding Lake City Lord took in a cold breath not far away.


    He looked at Zhao Feng with a complex expression that contained wariness, shock, and a sense of luckiness that he couldn¡¯t explain.


    Back when he first met Zhao Feng, the Flooding Lake City Lord found out about Zhao Feng¡¯s talented bloodline and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    It was because of this admiration that he forced Zhao Feng to become his future son-in-law.


    And today proved that he was right to do so.


    His ¡°future son-in-law¡± had become a dragon and an overwhelming prodigy. Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was greater than even his own.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I¡¯ll return the humiliation today ten times over.¡±


    Hatred appeared in the Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s eyes as she touched her chest and coughed out more blood.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. He thought that his kick just now could make this woman not able to stand up for half a day.


    However, he didn¡¯t consider that the part he kicked was extremely soft, which nullified some of his power. But even then, the Qin Sword Palace Master was severely injured and could barely manage to stand up.


    Adding on the fact that her Qin was destroyed, her current battle-power had dropped by 30-40%.


    Sou!


    The Qin Sword Palace Master turned into a streak of light that sped away.


    ¡°Hmph! Return it ten times over? You won¡¯t have the chance.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly as his eye turned azure and he prepared to use a Wind Lightning Eye Flame or Azure Piercing Slash to kill her.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord shouted. He sensed a power from Zhao Feng¡¯s eye bloodline that made __ his heart tremble.


    He had gone to the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and seen Zhao Feng¡¯s eye techniques.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord knew that if Zhao Feng successfully used this attack, the Qin Sword Palace Master would certainly die.


    ¡°City Lord Liu.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and his killing intent disappeared, letting the Qin Sword Palace Master live.


    The Qin Sword Palace Master, who was currently running away, suddenly felt an aura of death sweep by her. She didn¡¯t seem to realize that her life almost reached its end.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I recognize your strength. Probably not many people in the great country are your match.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord sighed.


    Facing this future ¡°son-in-law,¡± he felt helpless.


    With the strength Zhao Feng had just displayed, the City Lord knew that it would be useless even if he and the Qin Sword Palace Master teamed up.


    However, the Flooding Lake City Lord was also puzzled.


    Zhao Feng was apparently ruthless toward some people, such as the Qin Sword Palace Master just now. The act of killing her could be achieved with a single thought.


    However, Zhao Feng was ¡°warm¡± toward the Flooding Lake City Lord, allowing him to attack without ever fighting back.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord started to sweat coldly. If it were anyone else, Zhao Feng probably would¡¯ve killed them long ago.


    ¡°Tell me why you¡¯re here.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord started to ponder as he spoke.


    From Zhao Feng¡¯s current attitude, it was as if he never thought of the City Lord as an enemy in the first place. He even let the Qin Sword Palace Master live because of the City Lord¡¯s request.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already told you that I¡¯m here to fulfill my promise ¨C taking Qinxin as my wife.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly.


    Hearing this, everyone broke out into discussion.


    Everyone ¨C the Flooding Lake City Lord, Liu Yuan, Jiang Sanfeng, Die Ye ¨C was incredulous.


    ¡°You really came back to take Qinxin as your wife?¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s expression was extremely colorful.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head guiltily, ¡°¡­but I didn¡¯t know that she didn¡¯t return.¡±


    Nothing went as planned.


    Back then, the Flooding Lake City Lord forced Zhao Feng into the marriage and the latter ending up fleeing the country.


    Now, Zhao Feng returned, and the bride-to-be wasn¡¯t even here.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord inspected Zhao Feng for a long time before sighing, ¡°Flowers blossom and wilt¡­. Come with me.¡±


    A while later, within a building in the City Lord¡¯s Palace.


    Liu Jiutian, Zhao Feng, Die Ye, and Jiang Sanfeng were sitting in the room.


    ¡°¡­Qinxin entered the Sky Saint Qin Inheritance. It¡¯s not a big inheritance compared to the Four Great Inheritances, but it¡¯s extremely mysterious and unusual. This inheritance has only appeared two or three times in the last ten thousand years and not much is known about it.¡±


    Liu Jiutian said.


    Back at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Zhao Feng and the other overwhelming prodigies fought fiercely to enter inheritances.


    Amongst them, Yu Tianhao and Xin Wuheng entered the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance.


    Cang Yuyue entered the Seven Sword Inheritance.


    Goddess Bing Wei and Tantai Lanyue entered the Mystic Ice Inheritance.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t pay much attention to the others.


    For example, Prince Jin, Tian Yunzhi, Wang Xiaoguai, and Liu Qinxin all chose their own inheritances.


    ¡°The number of people from the Canopy Great Country that managed to enter an inheritance this time far exceeds the others, but Liu Qinxin was the only one from the Canopy Great Country that didn¡¯t return.¡±


    Bitterness appeared on the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s face as his eyes became depressed.


    Listening up to here, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart struggled and couldn¡¯t stay calm.


    It wasn¡¯t just guilt. It was as if there was something weird in his heart.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s calm heart seemed to crack.


    He had an instant where, if he did nothing about it, the crack in his heart would only widen.


    ¡°Is this¡­ a heart knot?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t think that Liu Qinxin¡¯s accident would affect him so much.


    It wasn¡¯t like he never thought that, maybe if Liu Qinxin died, the promise wouldn¡¯t be valid anymore.


    However, once Zhao Feng started thinking like this, that feeling in his heart would strengthen and the crack would grow bigger.


    Slowly, signs of a struggle appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face and he started to sweat coldly.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er!¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he exclaimed. He didn¡¯t seem to notice that he called Zhao Feng what he used to call him back when he lived at the City Lord Palace.


    __


    _Hmmm?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye turned into a cold blue, which instantly calmed him down. However, he knew this wouldn¡¯t fix the crack in his heart.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord spoke in a solemn tone, ¡°I hope that Qinxin¡¯s accident won¡¯t affect the state of your heart. You¡¯re the best prodigy of the Azure Flower Continent and the number one genius in the Canopy Great Country. Qinxin¡¯s spirit in heaven wouldn¡¯t want to see you affected because of her¡­.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s eyes started to get teary as he spoke on.


    When Zhao Feng heard ¡°Qinxin¡¯s spirit in heaven,¡± he seemed to be hit by lightning and was dazed.


    ¡°Uncle Liu, we can¡¯t conclude whether Qinxin has died or not without evidence.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. He suddenly recalled how Zhao Yufei hadn¡¯t returned to the Azure Flower Continent either, and _she_ wasn¡¯t dead. He knew the chance was slim though.


    ¡°Feng¡¯er, you don¡¯t need to comfort me.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord shook his head.


    It had already been a year since the end of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. The past was the past.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t argue back. He also knew that the chance of Qinxin still being alive was very small.


    ¡°Uncle Liu, what can I do?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s emotions couldn¡¯t be calmed.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s eyes twinkled as he inspected this overwhelming prodigy.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was unfathomable and the Flooding Lake City Lord couldn¡¯t see through it.


    He knew that Zhao Feng had potential and could probably do whatever he asked.


    However, this thought soon flashed by in the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we need to confirm whether she¡¯s dead or not first and fix your heart knot.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord said slowly.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. The Flooding Lake City Lord didn¡¯t ask for something ridiculous and was helping him instead.


    Of course, both the Flooding Lake City Lord and Zhao Feng wanted to know whether Liu Qinxin had died or not anyway.


    ¡°May I ask Uncle Liu, what I can do to confirm whether she¡¯s alive or dead?¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    Inheritances were extremely far away from the Azure Flower Continent and they didn¡¯t know the specific location of the Sky Saint Qin Inheritance.


    ¡°There¡¯s two ways.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord paused before speaking, ¡°The first is to find the Sky Saint Qin Inheritance yourself or wait for the next couple Sacred True Dragon Gatherings and find someone to go inside to find out.¡±


    Zhao Feng and the others shook their heads. This method relied too much on luck.


    The Sky Saint Qin Inheritance had only appeared two or three times in the last ten thousand years. Who knew when it might appear again?


    Furthermore, the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was only held once every ten years.


    ¡°The second method¡­ the Dao of Divination can see results of the future.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s eyes lit up.


    _Divination?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up as well.


    ¡°The Six Warlock Divine Sage of the Canopy Great Country may have this power. The only problem is that I¡¯ve asked to meet the Sage several times, but I¡¯ve never had the fortune to do so.¡±

 494 Six Warlock Divine Tower

    _Six Warlock Divine Sage?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes squinted as he glanced toward Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye next to him.


    It wasn¡¯t the first time Zhao Feng had heard of the title Six Warlock Divine Sage.


    He suddenly remembered Liu Qinxin telling him the story of the Sage taking disciples.


    The Sage took in three female disciples who cultivated the Dao of Life, the Dao of Charm, and the Dao of Entertainment respectively.


    The one who cultivated the Dao of Charm was Empress Qin. This knowledge wasn¡¯t much of a secret among the upper echelon of the Canopy Great Country.


    According to what Liu Qinxin said, the one who cultivated the Dao of Entertainment was her mother, who was killed by Empress Qin.


    Qinxin¡¯s Master was the one who cultivated the Dao of Life, and her Master had told her to change her name because it concerned her future.


    This meant that Liu Qinxin was a junior of both the Dao of Life and the Dao of Entertainment cultivators.


    An image slowly formed in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    ¡°So, Qinxin¡¯s senior is the Six Warlock Divine Sage.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Qinxin even got to meet the Sage before the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. At that time, the Sage calculated that the chance of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance connecting to the continent was rising.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord started to think.


    Zhao Feng went silent. It seemed like the Six Warlock Divine Sage wasn¡¯t simple.


    Even Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye coming to the Cloud area had the Six Warlock Divine Sage behind it.


    At that time, Zhao Feng was puzzled as to why the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion was so sure that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t die in the inheritance and why the Deputy Patriarch was trying so hard to find him.


    If one didn¡¯t come back after so long, they were most likely dead.


    ¡°The Deputy Patriarch has indeed met the Sage and sent people to find Chapter Leader Zhao. We¡¯re just one of the groups sent to the Cloud area.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng nodded his head and confirmed.


    __


    _Indeed._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. The more he knew, the more mysterious the Sage seemed.


    Although the Six Warlock Divine Sage didn¡¯t participate in the Canopy Great Country¡¯s matters, his status was extremely high.


    The Sage was extremely knowledgeable and knew almost everything ¨C arrays, divination, geography¡­


    Rumors said that even those at the Origin Core Realm went to visit the Sage.


    ¡°Looks like I need to go to the Six Warlock Divine Tower.¡±


    Zhao Feng decided and slowly stood up.


    To begin with, he and the Flooding Lake City Lord were enemies because of the Iron Blood Religion and the Liu family¡¯s relationship. The Flooding Lake City Lord knew this as well and knew Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t stay here for long.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the Sage has been in seclusion and didn¡¯t even see Empress Qin.¡±


    The Flooding Lake City Lord warned.


    Empress Qin was the Sage¡¯s disciple, so one could see how hard it was to visit the Sage from the fact that even the Sage¡¯s disciple couldn¡¯t see the Sage.


    ¡°No matter how hard it is, it¡¯s always worth a try.¡±


    Zhao Feng rose, said goodbye, and left the City Lord¡¯s Palace with Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye.


    At this point in time, the experts of the Liu family near the Flooding Lake City could only watch the gold-and-green bird take the three away. No one dared to stop them.


    A while later, the news of Zhao Feng suppressing two True Lord Ranks spread across the Flooding Lake City.


    It could be imagined that, not long after that first piece of news spread, the news of Zhao Feng returning to the continent would spread across the entire Canopy Great Country.


    ¡°We¡¯re going to Tiegan Mountain first.¡±


    Zhao Feng said faintly as he sat on the gold-and-green bird.


    Although Jiang Sanfeng was puzzled, he didn¡¯t hesitate before heading toward Tiegan Mountain.


    Half the time it took to make tea later, Zhao Feng met Master Tiegan.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re back?¡±


    Master Tiegan was surprised. His eyes almost bulged out as he saw Zhao Feng.


    After the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Zhao Feng was considered an overwhelming prodigy, and there were many rumors of him not returning from the inheritance.


    Like most people, Master Tiegan thought that Zhao Feng died in the inheritance, and he didn¡¯t have much hope.


    ¡°Master Tiegan, I¡¯m here for something today.¡±


    Zhao Feng went straight to the matter-at-hand.


    Two years ago, Zhao Feng came here to participate in crafting the Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t see the original blueprints and didn¡¯t participate in the most important process, he knew everything about the actual parts.


    The images of all the parts were still clear in his mind. It wouldn¡¯t be too hard if they wanted to craft a simplified version of the Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    ¡°With your current cultivation and control, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult to craft a simplified version of the Wheel of Light and Darkness, or even the whole thing, if you worked with me.¡±


    Master Tiegan laughed. He was obviously very confident in Zhao Feng.


    Back when they successfully crafted the Wheel of Light and Darkness, half the work was done by Zhao Feng.


    At that time, Zhao Feng was only at the measly Sixth or Seventh Sky of the Ascended Realm, and his eye bloodline power wasn¡¯t even one tenth as strong as it was now.


    ¡°Of course, that¡¯s as long as you have the materials. I believe the Iron Blood Religion shouldn¡¯t be that poor. However, if you want to craft the complete Wheel of Light and Darkness, you¡¯ll need the Deputy Patriarch to agree, as I need to keep the original blueprints a secret.¡±


    Master Tiegan¡¯s words took a turn. Even if Zhao Feng wanted to create a simplified version, the amount of resources needed was still enormous.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about resources. Plus, I don¡¯t need a complete version.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s smile contained confidence.


    How many spoils of war had he gotten from the Purple Saint Ruins and killing all those True Lord Ranks?


    Because of First Elder¡¯s limit in his cultivation, he wouldn¡¯t be able to use the completed version of the Wheel of Light and Darkness anyway.


    One had to know that the Deputy Patriarch¡¯s half-step Origin Core Realm cultivation was barely enough to use the power of the Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    A while later, Zhao Feng and Master Tiegan entered the forge.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng took out a huge bunch of precious resources, and mountains of primal crystal stones.


    ¡°Is this enough?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°It is¡­. It¡¯s more than enough to even craft the real thing.¡±


    Master Tiegan¡¯s eyes stood out; they were filled with excitement and love as he looked at the pile of resources.


    Most of the resources here were extinct on this continent.


    Back when the Deputy Patriarch wanted to craft the Wheel of Light and Darkness, he had used countless resources, and even the Iron Blood Religion couldn¡¯t easily craft a second one.


    However, Zhao Feng seemed to pull out such resources with ease.


    ¡°The value of these resources is more than enough to craft the real thing if you wanted, but they will take about half a month to sort out.¡±


    Master Tiegan said.


    Although the resources that Zhao Feng took out were extremely similar to the original resources, there were some slight differences.


    ¡°Ok, in this half a month, I¡¯ll be at the Six Warlock Divine Tower.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised.


    He sent people to find resources in the Cloud area, but because the Cloud area was far away, some resources couldn¡¯t be found and required substitutes.


    After that task was done, Zhao Feng, Jiang Sanfeng, and Die Ye left.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s so rich.¡±


    Master Tiegan couldn¡¯t help but think as he watched the three leave.


    The resources that Zhao Feng took out were worth more than ten times the value of a simplified Wheel of Light and Darkness, but Zhao Feng gave the leftovers to Master Tiegan as payment.


    Master Tiegan obviously didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng even had a legendary Earth-Grade item. Why would he care about some Spiritual-Grade items?


    Even ten-thousand Spiritual-Grade items together wouldn¡¯t worth an Earth-Grade item.


    The rank of a complete Wheel of Light and Darkness was between the High-Tier and Peak-Tier Spiritual-Grade.


    A simplified version would be just above a normal Middle-Tier Spiritual-Grade since it needed to function as First Elder¡¯s arm.


    Dang! Dang! Dang!


    After the three left, the items in the forge started to tremble, as if they were scared of something.


    _What¡¯s going on?_


    Master Tiegan¡¯s expression changed dramatically. This didn¡¯t happen even when the Wheel of Light and Darkness was created.


    However, being a blacksmith, he soon remembered the uneasiness of the items that were crafted by him when Zhao Feng entered the forge.


    When Zhao Feng left, these items seemed to let out a breath.


    ¡°Only items at the Peak-Tier Spiritual-Grade or broken Earth-Grade items can have such an effect¡­ but most of those are in the hands of Sovereigns.¡±


    Master Tiegan thought about Zhao Feng¡¯s secrets.


    Several days later, the gold-and-green bird entered the depths of a hill.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, we¡¯re almost at the Six Warlock Divine Tower.¡±


    Die Ye pointed toward the front.


    Zhao Feng smiled, ¡°I already see it.¡±


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw a pitch-black six-sided tower.


    The Six Warlock Divine Tower had forty-nine floors, and it was enveloped by a mysterious power that managed to slightly resist Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Out of respect, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t circulate his bloodline-power in case it made the Sage unhappy.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The three put away the gold-and-green bird and descended in front of the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng was the first to arrive and he didn¡¯t conceal his True Lord Rank aura.


    There were currently dozens of visitors here. Many of them were at the True Spirit Realm, and four or five of them were at the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Another True Lord Rank has arrived, and he¡¯s so young.¡±


    The expressions of some visitors changed.


    Even the other True Lord Ranks inspected Zhao Feng with surprise.


    ¡°It¡¯s him¡­. It¡¯s actually him!¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng, one of the five overwhelming prodigies of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    Exclamations came from the visitors. Many quickly recognized Zhao Feng.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng also saw some familiar figures.

 495 Enemies Mee

    Zhao Feng¡¯s arrival caused the people in front of the Six Warlock Divine Tower to break into discussion.


    ¡°Zhao Feng is one of the five Overwhelming Prodigies from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    Some of the people immediately recognized him. Over half a year had passed since the end of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, and the name of the Overwhelming Prodigies spread across the continent.


    Amongst the five Overwhelming Prodigies, Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao were the Lord Prodigies who stood at the top of the current era.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned through the crowd and he saw some familiar figures.


    There were Prince Jin, Tian Yunzhi, and even Mo Tianyi from the Heavenly Yuan Clan.


    Apart from them, there was also a splendid woman dressed entirely in black whose aura was uniquely weird.


    When the woman in black saw Zhao Feng, she paused slightly.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you came back from the inheritance? How¡¯s Sister Yufei doing?¡± Mo Tianyi asked urgently as soon as he saw Zhao Feng.


    The whole reason he was at the Six Warlock Divine Tower in the first place was to confirm whether Zhao Yufei was alive or not.


    She hadn¡¯t returned to the continent even after being in the mysterious inheritance for six months, but the Heavenly Yuan Clan never gave up.


    When Mo Tianyi asked his question, all the experts at the True Spirit Realm ¨C especially those at the True Lord Rank ¨C listened up.


    The most recent Sacred True Dragon Gathering was the best one in several millennia. Not only had all Four Great Inheritances descended, there was even a powerful unknown inheritance.


    Before this, the two that entered that unknown inheritance hadn¡¯t returned, but now, one of them was back, so the others were all curious.


    ¡°Mo Tianyi.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and didn¡¯t immediately answer the question.


    There were many people in front of the Six Warlock Divine Tower. Why would Zhao Feng easily give out information about the unknown inheritance?


    Mo Tianyi felt slightly awkward. He had rushed it. It wasn¡¯t a good place to talk about these secrets.


    The people that were listening were obviously disappointed, and the eyebrows of some of the True Lord Ranks furrowed, obviously dissatisfied.


    Zhao Feng stood with a confident smile and his hands behind his back. With his strength, he didn¡¯t fear anything.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, I¡¯m very surprised to see you here. I believe the elders of the Heavenly Yuan Clan would be happy to see you.¡±


    Mo Tianyi smiled and greeted Zhao Feng. He didn¡¯t immediately follow up on the mysterious inheritance.


    Prince Jin, Tian Yunzhi, and company soon came to greet Zhao Feng as well. Even those that didn¡¯t know him came to introduce themselves.


    It was a glory to talk with an Overwhelming Prodigy, and such a tale could be told to their friends later on.


    Zhao Feng humbly interacted with the experts.


    ¡°Since everyone¡¯s waiting here, what¡¯s the situation in the Six Warlock Divine Tower?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked. There were obviously many people here that wanted to ask for pointers or needed divination.


    Tian Yunzhi wanted to thank the Sage and receive pointers.


    Mo Tianyi was here to ask the Sage for the location of Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°The Sage has been in seclusion for the last couple months and is divining the future of the continent.¡±


    ¡°No one knows when the Sage will come out. It might be soon or it might be a while.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯re all waiting here for the Sage. This is a chance.¡±


    Everyone babbled.


    Zhao Feng got the gist of the situation after hearing everything. Simply put: this was a line, and everyone was waiting.


    ¡°I need to craft the Wheel of Light and Darkness and return to the Headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought. He couldn¡¯t wait too long, but if he left half-way, he might miss the chance of meeting the Sage.


    When the Sage exited seclusion, the Sage might start traveling all over the place. It would be hard to find the Sage at that time.


    Sou! Sou!


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye flew over and landed on Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right.


    ¡°Chapter Leader, let me try. Maybe if the Sage knew that one of the Overwhelming Prodigies was here, he¡¯ll come out.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng smiled and suggested. He wanted to finish this as soon as possible so that Zhao Feng could return to the Iron Blood Religion.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t stop it, his silence signaling Jiang Sanfeng to try.


    ¡°May the Priests of the Six Warlock Divine Tower report that Chapter Leader Zhao, one of the five Overwhelming Prodigies, is here.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng raised his head and shouted at the figures in the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    Apart from the legendary Sage, there were other experts and priests present.


    ¡°One of the five Overwhelming Prodigies?¡±


    The figures in the Six Warlock Divine Tower looked curiously below. After all, it wasn¡¯t just the Sage that could divine things.


    ¡°The five Overwhelming Prodigies of this era surpass the past several dozen generations and will lead the future of this continent.¡±


    Some of the priests knew some divination.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng¡¯s appearance also attracted the curiosity of some experts within the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    Some of the divination experts looked at Zhao Feng with twinkling eyes and started to divine his future.


    However, most of them didn¡¯t get any results.


    One of the white-bearded elders closed his eyes and started to divine further with a trembling body.


    Wah!


    Blood streaked out from the white-bearded old man¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°Master!¡±


    The nearby priests exclaimed as they went to support him.


    ¡°He¡¯s indeed worthy of being an Overwhelming Prodigy. The Sage once said they would lead the peak of the continent and are closely connected with the legacy of the heavens.¡±


    The white-bearded old man wiped off the blood as he closely inspected the blue-haired youth.


    The temporary chaos in the Six Warlock Divine Tower made the dozens of people below look at each other.


    None of them would have thought that a ¡°Master¡± of divination would cough up blood when doing divination on Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng remained unmoved and didn¡¯t bother with the priests in the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    ¡°Seniors of the Six Warlock Divine Tower, the Chapter Leader has an important issue to ask the Sage. I hope you can let him in.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng quickly said.


    Hearing this, the group in front of the Six Warlock Divine Tower were expectant.


    Maybe an Overwhelming Prodigy could receive special treatment from the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    Coldness flashed through the eyes of the woman covered in black next to Prince Jin.


    The white-bearded old man in the Six Warlock Divine Tower coughed, ¡°The Sage said he¡¯ll appear when the time is right. Although I¡¯m very interested in helping an Overwhelming Prodigy, I don¡¯t have the ability to do so¡­.¡±


    Hearing this, the group was disappointed.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. He turned to the woman in black next to Prince Jin.


    ¡°Empress, we haven¡¯t met in a while.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled. His gaze seemed to see through the black veil covering the woman¡¯s face.


    ¡°You¡­¡±


    The woman was surprised and harrumphed coldly as she ripped off the black veil, revealing an exotic face.


    Her every action and every breath brought a maximum amount of charm.


    _Empress Qin!_


    The experts present were surprised.


    Most of them didn¡¯t know that even Empress Qin was waiting for the Sage.


    ¡°If even the disciple of the Sage has to wait, looks like we won¡¯t be able to see the Sage easily.¡±


    Many shook their heads and sighed.


    With Empress Qin revealing herself, the atmosphere became tense.


    Zhao Feng and Empress Qin stared at each other. The latter didn¡¯t hide her coldness or her intent, releasing her True Lord Rank aura.


    Back then, the news of Zhao Feng kidnapping Empress Qin had shocked the great country.


    When had Empress Qin ever been humiliated like that before?


    Now that they met once more, her eyes were red.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the warrant for you from the Imperials hasn¡¯t expired yet.¡±


    Empress Qin didn¡¯t have any respect for Zhao Feng. She also knew that her Dao of Charm had no effect on this Overwhelming Prodigy.


    ¡°Is that right? Well, I don¡¯t mind kidnapping you again.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed with a mocking smile.


    _Kidnap the Empress again?_


    Hearing this, the hearts of everyone present were shocked.


    Zhao Feng was not just arrogant; his guts had reached the heavens.


    One had to know, this was the Canopy Great Country, which was ruled by the Imperials.


    ¡°You¡­ how dare you say that to me¡­?¡±


    A faint redness appeared on Empress Qin¡¯s face, and the hearts of many people sped up.


    Zhao Feng remained still and unaffected.


    The two looked at each other and, although Empress Qin was angry, she didn¡¯t do anything.


    Prince Jin, who was behind Empress Qin, was stunned. He couldn¡¯t imagine what level Zhao Feng had reached for him to mock Empress Qin so casually.


    And once this news was spread, the rumors would definitely say that Zhao Feng had ¡°hit on¡± Empress Qin, increasing the tension between the Imperials and the Iron Blood Religion.


    If this went badly, this could even spark a war between the two.


    ¡°This Empress Qin can restrain herself from attacking me?¡±


    Zhao Feng was thinking about how to get the Empress even angrier or whether he should just take her down right now.


    Right at this moment.


    Miao!


    A weird shout of a cat sounded through the air.


    _Hmm?_


    The hearts of many people moved as they turned toward the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    Ceng!


    A silver-and-black cat yawned lazily as it jumped out of the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    ¡°Is this the cat that¡¯s always with the Sage?¡±


    The eyes of many people lit up.


    They had heard many rumors about the Sage, and there was always a point that remained the same; there was a cat always with the Sage no matter where he went.


    Ceng!


    The lazy silver-and-black cat jumped onto Empress Qin¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°Big lazy cat, you¡¯re not sleeping?¡±


    Empress Qin had a happy expression. She seemed to be familiar with this big lazy cat.

 496 Little Thieving Cat vs. Big Lazy Ca

    The silver-and-black cat¡¯s appearance instantly caught the attention of many people.


    From Empress Qin¡¯s reaction, it seemed like this cat was quite possibly the one always with the Sage.


    ¡°Is the Sage exiting seclusion?¡±


    The eyes of the visitors lit up and they were full of urgency and expectation.


    The rumors said that there was a weird cat always with the Sage. Now that that cat exited the Six Warlock Divine Tower, did that mean the Sage had exited seclusion?


    ¡°This cat¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng paused, and his eyes twinkled.


    He had a cat himself, but more importantly, this cat¡¯s laziness actually contained an indescribable intelligence that couldn¡¯t be compared with normal beasts.


    This was a similarity between the little thieving cat and this big lazy cat.


    Furthermore, the timing of the big lazy cat¡¯s appearance was extremely coincidental.


    It came right as Zhao Feng and Empress Qin were locked on to each other, and Zhao Feng felt that this wasn¡¯t a coincidence.


    One had to know, he was just thinking about how to make the Empress angrier, and whether or not he should just attack her on the spot.


    ¡°Big lazy cat, when¡¯s Master coming out of seclusion?¡±


    Empress Qin stroked the silver-and-black cat¡¯s fur, and she even took out some Spiritual Pills to feed the cat.


    At the same time, she let out a breath.


    In the standoff against Zhao Feng just now, Empress Qin felt a dangerous sensation come from him. Luckily, the big lazy cat¡¯s appearance broke the tense atmosphere between them.


    Miao!


    The big lazy cat was satisfied after eating some Spiritual Pills.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    The big lazy cat leaned on Empress Qin¡¯s body as it threw several old bronze coins into the air.


    This scene made Zhao Feng¡¯s pupils shrink.


    After that, the big lazy cat waved its paws.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying that Master¡¯s just finished, but is tired and will see the guests a while later?¡±


    Empress Qin asked.


    The big lazy cat nodded its head and waved its paws again.


    ¡°Master wants to talk to me first?¡±


    Hearing this, Empress Qin was overjoyed. She followed the big lazy cat and walked toward the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    Miao!


    With the big lazy cat leading the way, none of the experts of the Six Warlock Divine Tower stopped them, but the other visitors were all stopped outside the tower, including Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Priest, if the Sage can meet Empress Qin, may you ask if he can let us in too?¡±


    These visitors were obviously unwilling.


    ¡°No. Only Empress Qin is invited. Without the Sage¡¯s permission, no one can enter.¡±


    The guards were unmoved.


    ¡°Lord Lazy Cat, please let us in.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, Lord Lazy Cat, I have some precious and rare beautiful cats for your pleasure¡­.¡±


    ¡°Greetings Lord Lazy Cat, here¡¯s some gifts for you.¡±


    These visitors were obviously extremely cunning, trying a variety of methods to interact with the big lazy cat.


    The big lazy cat never left the Sage¡¯s side and had a close relationship with him.


    This meant that he was the representative of the Sage, and everything might depend on one word from this cat.


    Miao!


    The big lazy cat glanced toward the people in disdain and walked toward the tower.


    ¡°Dammit!¡±


    The visitors all panicked, including Mo Tianyi.


    Many of them had important matters that couldn¡¯t be delayed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. Liu Qinxin¡¯s matter was extremely important. Even without mentioning any other aspect, it was a heart knot that needed to be fixed.


    Miao miao!


    A familiar provocative sound came from next to Zhao Feng¡¯s ear.


    Miao?


    The big lazy cat¡¯s body immediately turned around.


    A silver-gray cat, half the size of the big lazy cat and with eyes like gems, sat on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder.


    Ding! Ding!


    The little thieving cat threw some old bronze coins in the air and glanced at the big lazy cat nonchalantly.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, is this lazy cat from your race?¡±


    Zhao Feng had a weird expression.


    After all, there were many similarities between the two, and if the two liked each other, maybe Zhao Feng could see the Sage quickly.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat arrogantly waved its paws, gesturing that it was the ¡°only one under the Heavens,¡± full of provocation as it looked at the big lazy cat.


    Miao!


    The big lazy cat seemed to become angry as a coldness and a warning appeared in its eyes.


    It bared its teeth and waved its paws, and it was hard to imagine what the big lazy cat was saying; ¡°This is my territory. I¡¯m the boss here.¡±


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat put away the old bronze coins, then flipped around and started waving its butt around toward the big lazy cat.


    The big lazy cat paused. It was puzzled, but then it saw a streak of yellow piss come out from between the little thieving cat¡¯s legs.


    ¡°Hahahaha! This thieving cat¡¯s quite courageous. It even dares to piss in front of the Six Warlock Divine Tower.¡±


    Many people were first stunned, then started to roar with laughter.


    Empress Qin¡¯s face became cold. She still had a fresh memory of the little thieving cat. Back at the Capital, this thieving cat helped Zhao Feng kidnap her.


    Miao!


    The big lazy cat was immediately angry. It roared and sent a cold invisible intent toward the little thieving cat that made the hearts of some True Lord Ranks shake.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s actions obviously offended the big lazy cat.


    A mountain couldn¡¯t have two tigers, and this was the big lazy cat¡¯s territory. How could it allow another cat to piss right in front of him?


    Shua!


    A faint black shadow flashed through the air and, although the big lazy cat was fat, it arrived in front of the little thieving cat in an instant.


    _So fast!_


    The experts at the True Spirit Realm were surprised.


    In terms of speed, the big lazy cat surpassed most of the people here.


    The next moment.


    Pa!


    The big lazy cat struck toward the little thieving cat. In terms of size and strength, it far exceeded the little thieving cat.


    Whoosh!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s figure shattered. It was just an afterimage.


    Miao!


    The big lazy cat was surprised as it suddenly felt a gust of cold wind come from behind.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat was like a ghost that appeared behind the big lazy cat as it struck toward the big lazy cat¡¯s head.


    Pa!


    The big lazy cat harrumphed before quickly blocking the little thieving cat¡¯s paw and pushing the latter back several yards.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground before disappearing once more.


    It was obvious the little thieving cat had no advantage in strength.


    The big lazy cat smiled mockingly before becoming a shadow and following the little thieving cat.


    Only Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see the little thieving cat clearly. All the other True Lord Ranks had to use their Spiritual Sense just to find some trails.


    ¡°This big lazy cat isn¡¯t simple. It can catch up to the little thieving cat to an extent.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    Back at the Purple Saint Ruins, Lu Tianyi and Ye Yanyu couldn¡¯t find the little thieving cat if they weren¡¯t on guard.


    Ceng! Ceng! Sou! Shua!


    A big cat figure and a small cat figure were clashing together back and forth in front of the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    The eyes of the visitors widened, but most of them couldn¡¯t see any details.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s indeed worthy of being an Overwhelming Prodigy. Just his cat alone is on par with the Sage¡¯s cat.¡±


    ¡°Although these two cats are small, their strength and ability far exceed normal beasts.¡±


    The True Lord Ranks had sharp eyes, so they could tell that the history of these two cats wasn¡¯t simple.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s cat can actually fight with Master¡¯s big lazy cat?¡±


    Hatred and jealousy appeared in Empress Qin¡¯s eyes.


    She knew the big lazy cat¡¯s abilities. If she had one like it, combined with her strength and intelligence, she might be enough to control the fate of the Canopy Great Country.


    However, there was a cat on par with the big lazy cat, and it was the pet of an enemy.


    Bam! Pa! Shuuu~~~


    The two cats flashed through the air, becoming faster and faster.


    The big lazy cat had the power advantage, so it pushed the little thieving cat back whenever they clashed head-on.


    On the other hand, the little thieving cat was more agile, so it would daze the big lazy cat with its paws.


    However, the big lazy cat wasn¡¯t normal; it was only slightly affected by the stunning effect.


    Furthermore, as long as it wasn¡¯t hit on the head, it wouldn¡¯t be stunned at all.


    Miao miao~~~~!


    The little thieving cat suddenly screamed and waved its paws wildly, sending paw-shadows through the air.


    The big lazy cat was shocked and started to lose the advantage. Even though its skin was thick and it was pretty agile, bloody marks would be left behind whenever it was hit by the paw-shadows.


    ¡°Hmm? This is the inheritance from the mysterious dagger?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. This time, the little thieving cat didn¡¯t actually take out the mysterious dagger, borrowing its intent instead.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to imagine that, if Zhao Feng could gain comprehension from the Ice Imperial Spear, the little thieving cat could also comprehend the mysterious dagger.


    _Comprehension? A cat that was just a few years old could do that?_


    Zhao Feng was more and more curious about the history of the little thieving cat.


    At the beginning, the little thieving cat hatched from an egg. This was suspicious in and of itself, as cats were mammals, and mammals obviously didn¡¯t come from eggs.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s battle-intent rose as it pushed the big lazy cat into the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    ¡°Master, the two cats are now fighting inside the tower.¡±


    The priests told the white-bearded elder who coughed up blood earlier.


    The big lazy cat was the representative of the Sage and, now that it might be fighting with another cat of the same race, they didn¡¯t know what to do.


    ¡°We don¡¯t specialize in battle. That thieving cat¡¯s history is as unfathomable as the big lazy cat¡¯s, and it seems to be connected with the Dao of Life and heaven¡¯s legacy. Maybe it¡¯s the dancer of fate.¡±

 497 More Danger than Fortune

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s the dancer of fate.¡±


    The white-bearded elder sighed as he watched the two cats jumping around.


    Because he didn¡¯t interfere, the others didn¡¯t either.


    The two cats were way too fast; even the guards couldn¡¯t clearly see how they were fighting.


    When the little thieving cat used the mysterious dagger¡¯s intent, it gained the upper hand and started to give the big lazy cat a beating.


    However, the big lazy cat started to adjust. Although it didn¡¯t attack as much, it perfectly blocked the little thieving cat¡¯s strikes.


    ¡°This lazy cat¡¯s level of comprehension is high, and it specializes in defense.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected.


    Although the little thieving cat had the upper hand, it couldn¡¯t win within a short amount of time.


    The big lazy cat¡¯s stamina and attributes were obviously higher than the little thieving cat¡¯s, and the little thieving cat expended extra energy using the intent from the mysterious dagger.


    Ding! Ding! Shua!


    A big cat and a small cat started to rise as they fought, and the forty-nine floors of the Six Warlock Divine Tower became their battlefield.


    ¡°Not good, they¡¯re getting closer to where the Sage is in seclusion!¡±


    A priest within the Six Warlock Divine Tower exclaimed, and the other guards and priests found something was amiss as well.


    ¡°Stop that cat!¡±


    The Six Warlock Divine Tower broke into a panic.


    Qiu! Qiu! Shu~~~


    The big lazy cat and the little thieving cat would occasionally miss their target, slightly damaging the tower.


    The guards flew over and tried to stop the little thieving cat.


    However, the two cats couldn¡¯t be separated, and their speed was too fast.


    A playfulness appeared within Zhao Feng below.


    The participation of the guards and priests made the situation more chaotic.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    There were several members of the tower who were accidentally injured by one another and started to scream.


    This scene surprised the visitors below, and many of them glanced deeply at Zhao Feng.


    No one thought that Zhao Feng¡¯s pet cat would be able to cause chaos in the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    Was all of this planned by Zhao Feng?


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how dare you cause trouble at the Six Warlock Divine Tower? Do you know what the result will be if you offend the Sage?¡±


    Empress Qin¡¯s voice was cold, but gloating.


    _Offend the Sage?_


    Zhao Feng realized the existence of some problems.


    There weren¡¯t many powerful people in the Six Warlock Divine Tower; there were only one or two True Lord Ranks, and they didn¡¯t even specialize in battle.


    How could such a weak force have such a high status in the Canopy Great Country then?


    Apparently, even Sovereigns at the Origin Core Realm came to visit the Sage, but Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t recall ever hearing about anyone using force here.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ it¡¯s best not to offend the Sage.¡±


    Mo Tianyi said solemnly.


    ¡°Please speak.¡±


    Zhao Feng remained calm.


    In reality, he hadn¡¯t ordered anything. The little thieving cat did everything on its own accord.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, according to what my Master said, there was apparently a Sovereign that used force here and threatened the Sage. However, in less than two years¡¯ time, the Sovereign died in a place of inheritance.¡±


    Mo Tianyi paused.


    _The fall of a Sovereign?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. Was the death of this Sovereign connected to the Sage?


    ¡°The Sage cultivates the Dao of Life and, when one reaches the apex, they can not only divine the future, they can even change it to some extent. My master said the Sovereign died because of the Sage.¡±


    When Mo Tianyi spoke up to here, his face was full of respect, but Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was cold.


    There were millions and billions of Dao in this world: the Dao of Martial Arts, the Dao of the Sword, the Dao of Arrays, the Dao of Body Strengthening, the Dao of Assassination¡­ and when any Dao reached the apex, they would have unparalleled power.


    Furthermore, the Sage was someone who cultivated the Dao of Life.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t doubt what Mo Tianyi said, or precisely, what Mo Tianyi¡¯s master said.


    This was because Mo Tianyi¡¯s master was a Sovereign and, being one of the Ten Great Forces of the Continent, the Heavenly Yuan Clan must have a Sovereign too.


    Zhao Feng finally understood why Empress Qin was gloating.


    ¡°The Dao of Life? Maybe the Sage can divine where my God¡¯s Spiritual Eye came from.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured expressionlessly in his heart.


    The strength of the Sage made him overjoyed.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s history was also mysterious, but such a cat was willing to follow Zhao Feng because of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was Zhao Feng¡¯s biggest puzzle.


    Right at this moment.


    Sou! Shua! Shua!


    The two cats slowly closed in on where the Sage was in seclusion.


    Weng~~


    A mysterious star-symbolled array flashed through the forty-ninth floor, and Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could barely sense it.


    This flash was different from any other power Zhao Feng had seen before.


    ¡°Lazy cat, invite the esteemed guest up.¡±


    An old voice that contained a tinge of fatigue sounded from the top of the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    Although the forty-ninth floor was extremely high up, the voice sounded from close by.


    Zhao Feng focused and managed to see that an old figure had appeared at the top of the Six Warlock Divine Tower. The old figure wore a black cloak and had eyes as bright as the night sky that seemed to contain infinite wisdom.


    ¡°The Sage has exited seclusion!¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Sage.¡±


    Everyone within the Six Warlock Divine Tower soon calmed down.


    Miao!


    Miao miao!


    The two cats landed on the forty-ninth floor and stood facing each other. They finally stopped sparring.


    The little thieving cat squinted and looked at the Sage with a rare solemnness.


    The Sage smiled and waved his hand, signaling the big lazy cat to greet the guest.


    Ceng! Ceng!


    The two cats landed in front of Zhao Feng.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and nudged its owner¡¯s cheeks.


    Miao!


    The big lazy cat extended a paw and invited Zhao Feng up.


    ¡°How¡­ how is this possible!?¡±


    Empress Qin¡¯s beautiful face was full of shock.


    That¡¯s right. The ¡°esteemed guest¡± that the Sage was talking about was Zhao Feng.


    No one knew the Sage¡¯s intentions better than the big lazy cat.


    ¡°This junior feels guilty for disturbing the Sage.¡±


    Zhao Feng bowed apologetically before flying with the big lazy cat toward the peak of the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    ¡°The Sage has come out! Don¡¯t miss this chance.¡±


    The remaining visitors couldn¡¯t suppress their excitement.


    The guards of the Six Warlock Divine Tower were about to stop them, but the Sage waved his hand gently and let everyone up.


    The group of visitors soon reached the peak of the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    Although there were many people, they were silent.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just exited seclusion not long ago and have divined the situation about the inheritances of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. I believe many of you are here for this.¡±


    The Sage said.


    Zhao Feng, Mo Tianyi, and company¡¯s eyes lit up.


    The Sage knew some of their intentions.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was slightly nervous because he knew the Sage was going to answer the question.


    ¡°Any genius that returned from an inheritance has reaped great rewards and their future is immeasurable.¡±


    The Sage smiled and glanced over Zhao Feng, Mo Tianyi, Tian Yunzhi, Prince Jin, and company.


    Hearing this, no one retorted.


    Zhao Feng took this to heart. The rewards he had gained from the Purple Saint Ruins weren¡¯t just ¡°great.¡±


    The Wood Spirit Essence Soul allowed his soul to become comparable to the Origin Core Realm, and his chance of breaking through to the Origin Core Realm later in life was high.


    Apart from that, he also had the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet Inheritance, the Ice Imperial Spear, and the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl. Even the little thieving cat received an inheritance. These were all things that even Sovereigns couldn¡¯t dream of.


    Mo Tianyi, Tian Yunzhi, Prince Jin, and company were all silent as they agreed with the Sage. They all met great fortune.


    The Sage meant that this era would decide the future.


    ¡°Then how about those that didn¡¯t return?¡±


    Mo Tianyi couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    The Sage just said that those that ¡°returned¡± from an inheritance.


    ¡°The world is balanced. Those that haven¡¯t returned will face far more danger than fortune, no matter whether they are still alive or not.¡±


    The Sage¡¯s voice started to drop like leaves turning yellow and falling to the ground.


    _Far more danger than fortune._


    When this was said, the hearts of many people present fell and Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook.


    What the Sage said wasn¡¯t as simple as it seemed.


    He said, ¡°far more danger than fortune,¡± a sort of euphemism that most of them were already dead. However, this was also a divination for those still alive.


    Far more danger than fortune, no matter whether they are still alive or not.


    This meant that even those that weren¡¯t dead yet will most likely be so soon.


    ¡°Yufei¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold and waves surged in his heart. The Sage¡¯s divination not only included those that died in the inheritances, it also very likely included Liu Qinxin.


    Furthermore, ¡°whether they are still alive or not¡± included Zhao Yufei.


    If you didn¡¯t return from the inheritance, even if you were still alive, you¡¯ll most likely die in the future.


    ¡°Then Sister Yufei¡­¡±


    Mo Tianyi and company were depressed.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng, Mo Tianyi, and company were silent, and Zhao Feng was dazed.


    ¡°I thought that Qinxin would most likely be dead, but I didn¡¯t think that even Yufei would be in a dangerous situation¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart struggled.


    One was his fianc¨¦e, and the other was a friend he had known since he was young.


    And now these two females were facing far more danger than fortune.


    Zhao Feng could roughly guess Zhao Yufei¡¯s situation. She was most likely facing three two-star sects.

 498 Pointers

    The Sage¡¯s divination made many of the visitors depressed, and they couldn¡¯t calm down.


    The result of the divination wasn¡¯t hard to understand. Those that came back from an inheritance had an immeasurable future, while those that didn¡¯t return were either dead or about to face a bunch of misfortune.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng, Mo Tianyi, and some of the other visitors were silent and had weird expressions.


    The Sage inspected Zhao Feng before answering some other questions.


    A while later, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart managed to calm down.


    ¡°At least I know how Yufei¡¯s doing. The Purple Saint Partial Spirit gave me a Purple Saint Token, which is connected to the Purple Saint Ruins.¡±


    A purple-colored token appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm. This was the Purple Saint Token, which gave a faint ripple before disappearing.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit had explained the use of the token before. It could open a path into the inheritance, and if Zhao Yufei needed anything, or if Zhao Feng wanted to go the Purple Saint Ruins, he could do so with the Purple Saint Token.


    However, it was limited to only three uses.


    ¡°The key question is still whether Qinxin is dead or not.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    Time passed by slowly. The visitors started to leave one after another; it was night, and the Sage looked tired and was about to go rest.


    Zhao Feng and Mo Tianyi didn¡¯t leave quite yet.


    ¡°Sage, I still need your help.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly said.


    The Sage wasn¡¯t surprised and smiled, ¡°Are you here for Liu Qinxin?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. May I ask the Sage whether she is alive or not?¡±


    Zhao Feng went straight to the point.


    The Sage¡¯s divination earlier was directed toward the whole group, whereas Zhao Feng was asking about a specific person this time.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, that Liu Qinxin entered an inheritance very far away and there are no trails whatsoever. You want to ask Master about whether she¡¯s alive or not? Ridiculous!¡±


    Empress Qin¡¯s cold voice sounded.


    Zhao Feng remained unmoved as he looked at the Sage, holding onto the last bit of hope.


    He knew that the divination required a certain amount of information and traces.


    Empress Qin obviously knew a bit about the Dao of Life, so she knew that they lacked information and couldn¡¯t confirm anything about it.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I can¡¯t answer this question.¡±


    The Sage stood with his hands behind his back. There was no sign of emotion from him.


    _Can¡¯t answer this question?_


    Zhao Feng paused. The Sage didn¡¯t say whether he could divine it or not, he said he couldn¡¯t ¡°answer¡± it.


    ¡°Sage, according to what I know, you¡¯re Qinxin¡¯s grandmaster.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t give up. He realized that the Sage might know something but wasn¡¯t willing to tell him. However, the more it was like that, the more worried he was for Liu Qinxin.


    The Sage didn¡¯t decline. He was silent for a while before finally speaking, ¡°Qinxin¡¯s extremely talented in the Dao of Life and the Dao of the Qin. I really liked her, and I was preparing for her to be my successor after she came out of the inheritance. Unfortunately¡­¡±


    Speaking up to here, the Sage sighed. It was as if fate made him feel helpless.


    ¡°Can¡¯t this Zhao Feng see that Qinxin¡¯s already dead? Why else wouldn¡¯t Master answer him?¡±


    Empress Qin mockingly thought.


    She and Liu Qinxin were enemies. Liu Qinxin¡¯s master told her to change her name to the same as Empress Qin¡¯s in order to change fate and go against the heavens.


    Empress Qin obviously knew this and disliked it.


    ¡°If I can¡¯t get a confirmed answer, my heart knot won¡¯t be untied.¡±


    Zhao Feng bowed to the Sage.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I can¡¯t answer you. The result of me changing fate isn¡¯t something I can handle.¡¯


    The Sage shook his head bitterly.


    Hearing this, even Empress Qin was stunned.


    The Sage seemed to be wary of something. He didn¡¯t dare to change Zhao Feng¡¯s fate or else something would happen.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat revealed a look of understanding.


    Miao!


    The big lazy cat squinted its eyes and threw some old bronze coins into the air. It looked at Zhao Feng for a long time as its expression slowly turned into extreme fear.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? The Sage seems to know something about me, but he¡¯s scared of changing it because the result would be devastating?¡±


    Zhao Feng had many questions.


    ¡°I can only give you some pointers. There¡¯s no such thing as absolute misfortune or absolute fortune. Even those that must die can come back to life. For example, one of the eight God Eyes, the Eye of Rebirth, has the ability to revive someone.¡±


    The Sage said calmly.


    The Eye of Rebirth, one of the eight God Eyes?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye twitched as he heard this.


    ¡°There¡¯s such a heaven defying eye-bloodline that can even turn life and death around?¡±


    Zhao Feng was utterly shocked.


    Although the words ¡°turning life and death around¡± seemed to appear everywhere when it came to special items or resources, this kind of ¡°death¡± was one where the person hadn¡¯t truly died yet.


    On the other hand, the Eye of Rebirth that was referenced by the Sage had the capability to revive someone even if their body had turned to dust and their soul had dissipated.


    ¡°Of course, this is only in the legends. The Eight Great God Eyes rule the earth and each one of them has a heaven-defying ability. The Eye of Rebirth is only one of them.¡±


    The Sage smiled.


    Zhao Feng knew a thing or two about the legends of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    Accordingly, the Eight Great God Eyes were the ancestors of all the eye-bloodlines in the world.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit even said that there were inheritances of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    As for why the inheritances of the Eight Great God Eyes didn¡¯t descend onto the Azure Flower Continent, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know.


    Maybe they were too powerful and the Azure Flower Continent was unable to accept them, or maybe it was due to the fact that they were too far away and the Dragon Blessing of the Azure Flower Continent wasn¡¯t enough.


    ¡°Thank you, Sage. Nothing is absolute in this world. As long as I become strong enough, maybe I can change everything.¡±


    Zhao Feng seemed to understand something and thanked the Sage once more.


    When the Sage mentioned the Eight Great God Eyes, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline suddenly became filled with excitement and battle-intent.


    ¡°Eight Great God Eyes¡­ Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­ I will one day face you all.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s goal suddenly changed, and all of this was due to the Sage.


    ¡°Now do you know what to do?¡±


    There was a tinge of happiness in the Sage¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°This junior understands.¡±


    The knot within Zhao Feng¡¯s heart started to untie as his path and vision became clear.


    His eyes shined, ¡°One day, I will walk out of this Continent and travel around the outside world where there¡¯s two-star and three-star sects¡­. When I¡¯m strong enough, I can go directly to the Sky Saint Qin Inheritance.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was suddenly cleansed. All that was left behind was the courage to pursue onward to the apex.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and his soul underwent a cleansing process and became more condensed.


    In just a couple breaths, Zhao Feng¡¯s state of heart rose.


    His mental energy level reached the peak True Lord Rank and was comparable to the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    Although the power of his soul hadn¡¯t really increased, it became purer.


    Back at the Purple Saint Ruins, the Wood Spirit Essence Soul allowed Zhao Feng¡¯s soul to increase by leaps and bounds.


    However, this made his foundation unstable, but with the help of the Sage, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul became consolidated.


    ¡°Thank you, Sage. I have one more question before I leave¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng reached out and touched his left eye.


    ¡°I found your eye-bloodline a long time ago. It¡¯s related to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, but its exact source has exceeded my divination limit. However, I¡¯m certain that it has the potential to reach the Eight Great God Eyes.¡±


    The Sage said.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng was surprised. The Sage was aware of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and said the exact same thing as the Purple Saint Partial Saint.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline was related to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    ¡°Potential to reach the Eight Great God Eyes?¡±


    Mo Tianyi and Empress Qin were stunned.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline had the potential to reach the level of the Eight Great God Eyes, even though the chance was extremely small.


    Perhaps Mo Tianyi and Empress Qin didn¡¯t know exactly how strong the Eight Great God Eyes were, but they were legendary for being the eight strongest eye-bloodlines in the world.


    Even Zhao Feng himself was surprised. He never thought his eye-bloodline¡¯s potential was so great.


    The Eight Great God Eyes were the beginning of all eye-bloodlines.


    For example, the Eye of Rebirth that the Sage just talked about could revive people. What else could they do if they could already do such heaven-defying things?


    At least currently, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was nowhere near that level.


    After the last question, Zhao Feng stood up and got ready to leave.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡±


    Mo Tianyi caught up immediately.


    ¡°Mo Tianyi, are you worried about Yufei?¡±


    Zhao Feng seemed to have expected this and smiled faintly.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, there are no outsiders here. You were the only one that entered the mysterious inheritance with Yufei. How is she doing? Is she still alive?¡±


    Mo Tianyi took a deep breath. Instead of asking the Sage, it was better for him to ask Zhao Feng.

 499 The Strongest Eye-bloodline on the Continen

    Outside the Six Warlock Divine Tower, Mo Tianyi faced Zhao Feng and asked him about Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Yufei is currently doing well. However, her fortune is too great, so it requires a lot of time. She probably won¡¯t be able to leave for at least a year or two.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t open his mouth, but his voice sounded in Mo Tianyi¡¯s head.


    He only gave a rough summary of Zhao Yufei¡¯s situation, without any specifics.


    After all, the Purple Saint Ruins was too big of a deal. Even two-star sects were trying to get a slice of that cake. The Azure Flower Continent didn¡¯t have the strength to compete against them.


    ¡°That¡¯s why Yufei is in danger. It¡¯s not easy for a mere True Spirit Realm to try to eat the entire cake.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly worried. However, Zhao Yufei should be safe for now since the Purple Saint Token had no reaction or call for help.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, what was inside the mysterious inheritance and where did it come from?¡±


    Mo Tianyi couldn¡¯t suppress the curiosity in his heart.


    The unknown inheritance Zhao Feng entered was a mystery for everyone else, and when the unknown inheritance appeared, it seemed to be even better than the Four Great Inheritances. Of course, the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance that descended was only one of many inheritances.


    ¡°Mo Tianyi, I can¡¯t tell you too much about the inheritance. It¡¯s not good for you. If anything ever happens, even the Heavenly Yuan Clan behind you couldn¡¯t take it.¡±


    Zhao Feng said expressionlessly.


    Hearing this, Mo Tianyi¡¯s heart jumped and he asked no more.


    He started to realize that the inheritance Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei entered was extremely important and could even bring disaster to the Heavenly Yuan Clan.


    Being the Head Disciple of the Heavenly Yuan Clan, Mo Tianyi¡¯s understanding of the cultivation world was better than most. He knew that the scale of five stars wasn¡¯t just a legend.


    After saying everything, Zhao Feng prepared to leave.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, wait a second. You might not have received this news yet.¡±


    Mo Tianyi suddenly called out.


    ¡°What?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s footsteps stopped.


    ¡°There¡¯s a tradition after the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. The geniuses that return from the inheritances will gather together after being in seclusion and spar with each other. This is the True Dragon Tea Gathering.¡±


    Mo Tianyi smiled, and his eyes was full of expectation and battle-intent.


    _True Dragon Tea Party?_


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know there was such a thing. However, thinking about it, these geniuses all entered an inheritance and their strength must¡¯ve increased after coming back.


    This event wasn¡¯t limited to just the normal True Dragon geniuses, even the five Overwhelming Prodigies would attend.


    ¡°Who knows how big of an improvement these True Dragon geniuses and Overwhelming Prodigies have made¡­?¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    ¡°The host this time is the Three Eyed Saint and Goddess Bing, and the location is the Middle Continent. It starts one year after the end of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    Mo Tianyi said.


    ¡°Ok, I¡¯ll go if I have time.¡±


    He was slightly interested in the True Dragon Tea Party, but Zhao Feng had many problems to take care of.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, I heard Goddess Bing Wei reached the True Lord Rank in the Mystic Ice Inheritance and has already defeated several True Lord Ranks half a year ago. The Three Eyed Saint is even more incredible.¡±


    Mo Tianyi continued.


    ¡°Who¡¯s this Three Eyed Saint?¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly stopped Mo Tianyi. No matter how he tried, he couldn¡¯t remember this Three Eyed Saint.


    ¡°Oh, I forgot to tell you. The Three Eyed Saint came first in both the previous Sacred True Dragon Gathering and the one before that. If it weren¡¯t for the age restriction, Yu Tianhao might not have gotten first this time.¡±


    Mo Tianyi explained.


    _No wonder._


    Zhao Feng understood. This Three Eyed Saint was a ¡°senior¡± of previous Sacred True Dragon Gatherings.


    Of course, he was at least twenty years older than Yu Tianhao, as the Three Eyed Saint won two Sacred True Dragon Gatherings before.


    ¡°On top of that, the Three Eye Saint¡¯s family is an eye-bloodline family that is ranked first in the continent. The ancestor, the Three Eyed Heavenly Emperor, is a legend, and his Three Eyes techniques are famed across the continent.¡±


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s face was full of wariness and respect when he said this.


    ¡°The strongest eye-bloodline on the continent? This Three Eyed Saint does indeed have the right to host the True Dragon Tea Party then.¡±


    Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head.


    Mo Tianyi smiled, ¡°Zhao Feng, I know you aren¡¯t willing to succumb to the Three Eyed Saint, especially since their family has the strongest eye-bloodline.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline was extremely powerful and everyone knew it.


    The power of his eye-bloodline defeated Tuoba Feng and the ghost-eyed man, members of two major eye-bloodline families.


    ¡°Of course. My aim isn¡¯t just the strongest bloodline in the Azure Flower Continent.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and didn¡¯t hide his goal.


    His eye-bloodline hadn¡¯t lost to anyone yet. Although Chi Gui from the Black Cliff Palace was strong, he still lost to Zhao Feng in the end.


    Now, with an eye-bloodline prodigy appearing, Zhao Feng became more interested in the True Dragon Tea Party.


    ¡°Ok, we¡¯ll meet at the tea party then.¡±


    Mo Tianyi said expectantly and left.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t stay at the Six Warlock Divine Tower for long. He met up with Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye and returned to the Flooding Lake City.


    Tiegan Mountain.


    About ten days had passed since they left and Master Tiegan had organized the materials needed for the simplified version of the Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    ¡°The materials are all here, and we used replacements for the ones we lack.¡±


    Master Tiegan told Zhao Feng the progress as they made the last preparations before crafting the simplified Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    Within a secret hall of Tiegan Palace, Zhao Feng sat cross-legged as a dark mist suddenly came out of nowhere, revealing a gold-and-silver skeleton with two twitching red flames in its eye sockets.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, you¡¯ve already recovered 30-40% and its only been a couple months.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s recovery speed was faster than he thought it would be.


    From its aura, the skeletal Division Leader had the battle-power of at least a late-stage True Lord Rank, and it was as troublesome as a peak-stage True Lord Rank.


    Zhao Feng knew this was due to the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    The air of death within it was perfect for ghost-corpses.


    ¡°Master, the progress has stalled with the hundred True Lord Rank corpses. Although the air of death is plentiful in there, the resources are limited, and my cultivation hasn¡¯t returned to its peak.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader sighed. The Hundred Corpses plan was Zhao Feng¡¯s small ambition. He could use this to form an army of a hundred True Lord Ranks.


    One could only imagine how terrifying an army of a hundred True Lord Ranks would be.


    Once this plan was complete, it wouldn¡¯t even be hard for Zhao Feng to sweep across an entire great country.


    ¡°How many are done?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°One has been completed and another one¡¯s almost done in the past two and a half months.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader waved its hand and a smelly dark-red ghost-corpse appeared.


    The disgusting aura made Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrow.


    However, its early-stage True Lord Rank battle-power surprised Zhao Feng.


    ¡°The Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground needed to kill a hundred or more True Lord Ranks and use their negative energy to form the curse. In reality, some of them had reached the peak True Lord Rank before they died, meaning their difficulty rises.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader cried bitterly.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. That meant that this early-stage True Lord Rank ghost-corpse was one of the weaker ones.


    A hundred skeletons meant a hundred True Lord Ranks. One could see how terrifying the force that set up the curse was.


    ¡°I¡¯ll try to gather all the resources.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and wiped off the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s mark before leaving his own God¡¯s Eye Mark on the new skeleton.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart jumped. Zhao Feng controlled the ghost-corpse just like that.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and put the ghost-corpse in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    Immediately following that, Zhao Feng waved his hand and summoned two dark-silver ghost-corpses that had silver stripes on their bones.


    ¡°Not bad, the skeletal Division Leader is indeed quite skilled. The two dark-silver ghost-corpses are more useful in its hands.


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and put away the two skeletons.


    At this point in time, the two dark-silver skeletons had exceed normal early-stage True Lord Ranks and couldn¡¯t be measured normally.


    ¡°My resources still aren¡¯t enough for my Hundred Corpses plan. I¡¯ll get back to it when I need it.¡±


    Zhao Feng soon found the solution.


    It was too hard to find resources on the Azure Flower Continent alone, but Zhao Feng could go to the Purple Saint Ruins.


    The Purple Saint Ruins was a separate dimension with rich resources, and even top resources in the Azure Flower Continent were normal in the Purple Saint Ruins.


    If it weren¡¯t for that, the three two-star sects wouldn¡¯t have planned so much for it.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng and Master Tiegan went into the forge and started to craft the simplified Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    This represented Zhao Feng¡¯s heart.

 500 Tiemo

    When they crafted the Wheel of Light and Darkness this time, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t just an assistant; he was the actual forger.


    This was because Tiemo wasn¡¯t here.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation far surpassed Master Tiegan¡¯s, and his Wind Lightning True Spirit Flame was more powerful when crafting.


    The forging process was much simpler. After all, they crafted the full version before.


    ¡°Your eye-bloodline¡¯s control is indeed precise.¡±


    Master Tiegan was extremely satisfied and confident.


    Zhao Feng had a powerful True Spirit Flame as well as perfect control. These were vital in crafting weapons.


    ¡°It¡¯ll be done in about ten days or so, just a quarter of last time.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye went into precision mode as he started to refine some extra parts.


    While they were in the forge, Zhao Feng and Master Tiegan were treated as if they were in seclusion. They weren¡¯t to be disturbed.


    After all, the Wheel of Light and Darkness came from the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance, and its difficulty was dozens of times harder than normal items of the same grade.


    Within Tiegan Palace.


    ¡°Ten days.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye heard Zhao Feng¡¯s voice.


    Die Ye smiled faintly, ¡°I¡¯ve already reached out to members of the Religion before we arrived at the Flooding Lake City. By now, the headquarters should have received the news of Zhao Feng¡¯s return.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng nodded his head. There was nothing to worry about now.


    In the Canopy Great Country, the Iron Blood Religion was extremely powerful, and only the Imperials could fight them.


    Ten days wasn¡¯t long nor short. However, Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye felt the process was extremely long. As long as Zhao Feng returned to the main headquarters, their mission would be complete.


    Eight days later.


    Weng~~


    A humming sound came from the underground forge.


    Even with the strong protective array, the experts above could feel the aura of a sharp weapon.


    ¡°The forging should be at the last stage and it already has such a powerful aura.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng felt his own weapon tremble uneasily.


    The new aura made all the weapons inside Tiegan Palace hum.


    Inside the forge underground.


    ¡°We¡¯re just one step away.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a light breath as a ball made from countless parts appeared in his hand and sparkled with lightning.


    Hu~


    The ball was soon engulfed in lightning that occasionally flickered with purple, causing its strength to rise dramatically.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think your Flame of True Spirit would be so unique and your control would be so perfect¡­.¡±


    Master Tiegan felt excited.


    The simplified version of the Wheel of Light and Darkness was much better than expected because Zhao Feng¡¯s control and strength of his True Spirit Flame exceeded expectations.


    Time passed slowly. The aura of the ball in front of Zhao Feng started to condense and the parts started to interact.


    _Hmm?_


    At the last critical moment, Zhao Feng suddenly sensed something and glanced toward a certain direction.


    However, it was the last step and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to lose concentration or else everything would fail.


    On a mountain behind Tiegan Mountain.


    Qiu Qiu Qiu Qiu~~~~


    Four figures flashed through the air and their auras made the animals nearby dead-silent.


    These four figures consisted of two females and two males.


    The two females were stunning beauties, and one of them could be said to destroy countries with her looks. She wore a palace gown, and her ripe body was filled with limitless charm.


    ¡°Empress Qin, with your help, our rate of success will rise greatly.¡±


    The other elegant female gritted her teeth as she stared in the direction Tiegan Mountain with hatred.


    She raised her hand and an ancient green Qin and a flying sword appeared.


    Qin Sword Twin Desolation.


    She was the Qin Sword Palace Master that was severely injured by Zhao Feng before. Although she was extremely pretty and elegant, Empress Qin, who specialized in the Dao of Charm, still surpassed her.


    Empress Qin smiled as she turned toward the two males, ¡°Even without my help, the Qin Sword Palace Master and the Liu family Elder and the Qin Sword Palace Elder can easily suppress Zhao Feng. With the Palace Master as support, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to fly away even if he had wings.¡±


    The auras of the two males were stronger than the two women.


    One was the First Elder of the Qin Sword Palace. He had a cold expression, silver hair, and he looked thirty-to-forty years old, but his real age couldn¡¯t be estimated.


    However, his aura was closing in on the peak True Lord Rank and surpassed the other three.


    The other was an old robed Elder who was also at the True Lord Rank. He was the First Elder of the Liu family.


    All four of them were at the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate that Zhao Feng. With the three of us originally, we only had a 70-80% of defeating him, but we wouldn¡¯t be able to kill him. We wanted the Flooding Lake City Lord to help, but he used ¡®seclusion¡¯ as an excuse. Luckily, we met Empress Qin on the way.¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master was calm and cold. She wasn¡¯t blinded by hatred.


    The humiliation Zhao Feng gave her at the Flooding Lake City was carved into her bones, and when she returned to the Qin Sword Palace, she met First Elder and the Liu family First Elder sparring.


    The Qin Sword Palace and the Liu family¡¯s First Elders instantly allowed the Qin Sword Palace Master to see hope in getting revenge.


    Hence the current scene.


    The four True Lord Ranks appeared on Tiegan Mountain.


    The only difference was that instead of the Flooding Lake City Lord who was supposed to come, it was now Empress Qin.


    ¡°Before I left, Master told me to follow the momentum and hopefully wipe away the problems between Zhao Feng and me¡­.¡±


    Empress Qin remembered what the Sage told her.


    Following the momentum was fine ¨C Empress Qin wasn¡¯t an insect that would just stand in the way of a chariot ¨C but thinking about how Zhao Feng had kidnapped her, she just couldn¡¯t let it go.


    Luckily, she met these three on the way. This was a good chance to kill Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng must die. Once he meets up with the Iron Blood Religion, the Imperials will be suppressed.¡±


    Struggle and hesitation were soon replaced by decisiveness and killing intent. She wouldn¡¯t pass up this chance to kill Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was one of the five Overwhelming Prodigies and had an immeasurable potential. Once he fully matured, Empress Qin couldn¡¯t imagine the future of the Imperials.


    ¡°My spiritual sense has already found Zhao Feng. Hehe, interesting. He has time to craft weapons?¡±


    The First Elder of the Qin Sword Palace mocked.


    Of the four, his cultivation was the highest and he was the first to find Zhao Feng.


    The other three True Lord Ranks confirmed Zhao Feng¡¯s position.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let him run. His eye-bloodline¡¯s unique and he has probably already sensed us.¡±


    The four True Lord Ranks turned into four streaks of light that quickly descended toward Tiegan Palace.


    Qiu Qiu Qiu Qiu~~~~


    The four True Lord Ranks each took a respective direction as they surrounded Tiegan Palace. Their True Lord Rank intent made the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi resonate.


    Tiegan Palace instantly broke into chaos.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I don¡¯t want to kill any innocents. Come out and die.¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s eyes were cold as she sent her flying sword out.


    Boom!


    The building on top of the forge instantly shattered, but the sword didn¡¯t reach the forge because it was blocked by a protective array.


    However, even then, Zhao Feng and Master Tiegan felt the forge shake.


    ¡°I¡¯m just a step away from completing it.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    He had to concentrate or everything they had done might fail.


    Yet, these four True Lord Ranks appeared right at this critical moment.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t scared of the four True Lord Ranks. He just wasn¡¯t willing for the weapon to fail now.


    ¡°Qin Sword Palace and the Liu family. Don¡¯t think the Iron Blood Religion is scared of you.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye stood shoulder-to-shoulder and didn¡¯t retreat.


    They knew that Zhao Feng was at the last moment and they just needed to drag it out for a short while.


    ¡°Iron Blood Religion? You think I won¡¯t kill you?¡¯


    The Qin Sword Palace Master snickered.


    Although she was wary of the Iron Blood Religion, the Qin Sword Palace was a force below only the Imperials and the Iron Blood Religion.


    Furthermore, the Qin Sword Palace was on the same side as the Imperials.


    ¡°Hehehe¡­ who has such big words that they want to harm the members of the Iron Blood Religion?¡±


    A voice filled with cold intent sounded from the other side of Tiegan Mountain.


    In the air, a sedan with a sword and blade intertwined appeared. It was carried by four True Human Rank experts.


    ¡°Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan!¡±


    The expressions of all four True Lord Ranks changed dramatically.


    There were probably not many people who didn¡¯t know the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan.


    Once the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan appeared, it meant that the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion would appear.


    ¡°Greetings, Deputy Patriarch.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye bowed down. They weren¡¯t surprised that the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan appeared.


    Tiemo had received news of Zhao Feng returning half a month ago and quickly headed over.


    He had arrived here two days ago but didn¡¯t appear in case it disrupted Zhao Feng.


    Only during this moment when the four True Lord Ranks appeared did Tiemo come out.


    ¡°Come in.¡±


    Tiemo waved his hand and let Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye into the sedan.


    Weng~


    After that, the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan descended on top of the forge.


    ¡°Tiemo, do you think you can block the four of us by yourself?¡±


    The First Elder of the Qin Sword Palace snickered.


    In terms of cultivation, Tiemo wasn¡¯t much higher than him, and they had four True Lord Ranks, including the Qin Sword Palace Master who specialized in teamwork.


    ¡°Come at me then.¡±


    The blood-colored-hair Tiemo harrumphed as he stood on top of the sedan and faced the four True Lord Ranks.

 501 You Brought This Upon Yourself

    On top of the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan, Tiemo stood alone as he coldly looked at the four True Lord Ranks.


    Empress Qin, the Qin Sword Palace Master, and the two Elders were all wary of the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion.


    ¡°Tiemo, if it was a one-on-one fight, I definitely wouldn¡¯t be your match. Don¡¯t blame us for bullying you with more people.¡±


    The eyes of the silver-haired Qin Sword Palace First Elder turned sharp.


    He was the strongest of the four True Lord Ranks and he was obviously the main resistance against Tiemo.


    However, the first to attack was the Qin Sword Palace Master.


    ¡°Qin Sword Twin Desolation!¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master held a Qin with one hand and used the other to control the flying sword.


    Qiu!


    Her flying sword glowed with a three-colored light as it created a continuous rain of sword-beams.


    At the same time, the sound of thundering horses came from her Qin, becoming a mental energy force that attacked Tiemo in an attempt to distract him.


    ¡°Sword Stopping Heaven and Earth!¡±


    The silver-haired Qin Sword Palace First Elder leapt down and slashed toward Tiemo.


    In that instant, the silver-haired First Elder¡¯s sword turned into a silver streak, and it was filled with the intent of a king.


    What was more profound was that his attack was perfectly in sync with the Qin Sword Palace Master.


    The combination of the two was like Yin and Yang, and their battle-power was greater than normal True Lord Ranks by far.


    ¡°A perfect combination!¡±


    Empress Qin and the Liu family First Elder exclaimed. They didn¡¯t think that the Qin Sword Palace Master and the First Elder would be able to act so quickly.


    Facing such an attack, Tiemo¡¯s face remained cold.


    Weng~~


    A metallic item on his right arm suddenly expanded to become a black-and-silver wheel, which spun around and glimmered brightly.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Tiemo¡¯s black-and-silver wheel rotated quickly, creating dazzling lights as he flew toward the silver-haired First Elder.


    The Qin Sword Palace First Elder didn¡¯t give way, so they clashed head-on.


    Shuu~~~


    The spinning wheel smashed into the sword-beam and shattered the silver-haired First Elder¡¯s offense.


    Ding!!! Shu~~~


    The quickly rotating black-and-silver wheel hit the Qin Sword Palace First Elder¡¯s sword, creating sparks.


    ¡°My Mystic Silver Divine Sword~~~!¡±


    The silver-haired First Elder yelled as the black-and-silver wheel quickly slashed at his weapon.


    In just a breath¡¯s time, the First Elder¡¯s sword, which was almost at the High-Tier Spiritual-Grade, had a small nick on it.


    Ding!


    The two pushed each other, and the silver-haired Elder flew out and almost coughed up blood.


    ¡°Wheel of Light and Darkness!¡±


    The other True Lord Ranks, Jiang Sanfeng, and Die Ye couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    Ding!


    The Wheel of Light and Darkness spun, becoming a shield that clashed with the Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s flying sword.


    Furthermore, the Wheel of Light and Darkness spun quickly enough ¨C even while defending ¨C that it damaged the Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s flying sword as well.


    The Qin Sword Palace Master harrumphed and almost let the flying sword fall to the ground.


    Shua!


    After completing all this, the blood-colored-hair Tiemo¡¯s weapon turned into a mechanical arm.


    The exchange between the three True Lord Ranks only lasted a few breaths and the difference in strength was already apparent.


    The Qin Sword Palace First Elder and the Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s perfect combination-attack was easily dissolved by Tiemo, who was only slightly injured.


    ¡°This Tiemo is incredibly strong. He¡¯s certainly worthy of being in charge of the Iron Blood Religion.¡±


    A bloody gash was left on the silver-haired First Elder, and his breathing rate quickened.


    In the forge underground, Zhao Feng and Master Tiegan were completing the final step.


    ¡°It¡¯ll be done in an hour¡­.¡±


    Most of Zhao Feng¡¯s focus was on forging, but he was also paying attention to the battle outside.


    Tiemo¡¯s battle-power and the Wheel of Light and Darkness moved Zhao Feng.


    One had to know, the silver-haired First Elder¡¯s cultivation was close to the peak True Lord Rank and, combined with the Qin Sword Palace Master, their attack was enough to threaten actual peak True Lord Ranks.


    Yet such a strong blow was easily blocked by Tiemo, and he still had the upper hand.


    ¡°Attack together. Tiemo¡¯s ranked within the top three strongest experts in the great country. Perhaps only Grand Elder Long Mu could beat him in a one-on-one fight.¡±


    Empress Qin¡¯s perfect figure flew through the air.


    Qiu! Qiu! Qiu~~~~


    Rainbow-colored ribbons, more than a dozen yards long, flew around her as they attempted to wrap up Tiemo.


    At the same time, the Liu family First Elder, Qin Sword Palace Master, and Qin Sword Palace First Elder attacked Tiemo from opposite directions.


    Boom! Bam Bam~~~~~


    Zhao Feng and Master Tiegan felt immense shaking, but with Tiemo and the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan¡¯s help, more than 90% of the attack was blocked, or else the protective array would¡¯ve been broken by now.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the Deputy Patriarch probably can¡¯t last against those four True Lord Ranks for long.¡±


    Master Tiegan was slightly worried.


    He was the assistant this time, so he had more time and energy to watch the battle above.


    Tiemo was starting to defend, attacking less and less.


    Zhao Feng used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to inspect things before smiling faintly, ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry.¡±


    Although the Deputy Patriarch on top of the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan was on the defensive, Zhao Feng found that there were no signs of panic or fear in his expression.


    ¡°I understand. The Deputy Patriarch is protecting the forge underground, so he has to be on the defensive.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng realized.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t this mean that the Deputy Patriarch isn¡¯t scared of those four True Lord Ranks together?¡±


    Die Ye was surprised. Rumors said that the current Patriarch was sick and everything was run by the Deputy Patriarch.


    How could Tiemo¡¯s methods be measured by common sense? He was the leader of the Iron Blood Religion, who fought the Imperials, the Liu family, and the Qin Sword Palace.


    The offense from the four True Lord Ranks became more and more furious.


    ¡°Looks like I¡¯ve underestimated the Deputy Patriarch¡¯s battle-power. Without using my eye-bloodline and some hidden cards, it would be difficult for me to beat him head-on.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng had only looked up once or twice, he knew the situation better than anyone else.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Tiemo was protecting the forge, he could probably defeat all four True Lord Ranks together.


    ¡°Looks like the chances of killing Zhao Feng today will be very small.¡±


    Empress Qin couldn¡¯t help but feel bitter. Her continuous attacks were easily blocked by Tiemo.


    The expressions of the other three True Lord Ranks were solemn.


    The Deputy Patriarch¡¯s strength was immense, and his Wheel of Light and Darkness was extremely troublesome, damaging their weapons easily.


    ¡°Although we can¡¯t kill Zhao Feng, we can at least disrupt his forging. From the looks of it, he¡¯s crafting a second Wheel of Light and Darkness. We can¡¯t let him succeed.¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master gritted her teeth and said unwillingly.


    The other True Lord Ranks released their spiritual sense and saw the situation in the forge.


    The shape of what Zhao Feng was making seemed to be a second Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    ¡°We can¡¯t let him succeed. No wonder why the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion is guarding this place.¡±


    The silver-haired First Elder harrumphed coldly as he started to purposely aim his attacks toward the underground forge.


    ¡°Despicable!¡±


    Tiemo¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he manipulated his Wheel of Light and Darkness to block the silver-haired First Elder¡¯s attack.


    However, the other three True Lord Ranks also aimed toward the forge.


    Boom!


    The underground forge shook heavily and was about to fall.


    ¡°These True Lords Ranks are far too shameless¡­.¡±


    Master Tiegan cursed out loud. However, being on opposite sides, they obviously didn¡¯t want to see a second Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if you don¡¯t think of something, everything we¡¯ve done will go to waste.¡±


    Master Tiegan sighed.


    The underground forge wouldn¡¯t be able to last more than a couple breaths.


    Tiemo, who was on the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan, was also helpless.


    Although he wasn¡¯t scared of the four True Lord Ranks, he couldn¡¯t stop the remaining power from the battle from affecting the underground forge. On top of that, the enemy was aiming at the forge on purpose now.


    ¡°Hmph! You brought this upon yourself. Don¡¯t blame me for not going easy on you.¡±


    A cold voice, filled with killing intent, sounded in the air, and the hearts of the four True Lord Ranks suddenly felt cold.


    ¡°That¡¯s the voice of the Chapter Leader!¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye exclaimed and looked up.


    Shua!


    A blue-haired youth had appeared with a gust of wind and lightning above the four True Lord Ranks.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡±


    The expressions of everyone changed dramatically.


    The Deputy Patriarch was surprised but regretful. Zhao Feng¡¯s process of crafting was stopped.


    Empress Qin, the Qin Sword Palace Master, and the other two True Lord Ranks were full of shock and wariness.


    They only saw the movement of the Wind Lightning Yuan Qi. Zhao Feng seemed to become part of the wind and lighting.


    ¡°Quickly retreat! We don¡¯t have any chance of victory against Zhao Feng and Tiemo combined.¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s urgent voice sounded.


    _Retreat!_


    The four didn¡¯t hesitate at all.


    They couldn¡¯t even beat Tiemo by himself, and now there was an extra Zhao Feng. They could only run away.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, although we couldn¡¯t kill Zhao Feng, at least we stopped him from making a Wheel of Light and Darkness.¡±


    The Liu family First Elder snickered coldly.


    The four True Lord Ranks released their spiritual sense toward the underground forge.


    However, the second their spiritual sense got close, it was burned by a cold and dark aura.


    The entire underground forge was filled with dark, grim flames.


    Not only did the spiritual sense of the four True Lord Ranks fail to see what was going on, they were almost injured. They were stunned; what kind of terrifying unknown existence was within the forge?

 502 Slaughter

    The terrifying aura within the underground forge almost injured the spiritual senses of the four True Lord Ranks.


    The situation had turned around in the blink of an eye.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t in the forge anymore. He had appeared above the four True Lord Ranks.


    The underground forge was covered in a layer of dark mist and nothing could be seen, which was extremely weird.


    ¡°Such a thing requires the cultivation of half-step Origin Core Realm at the least¡­.¡±


    Empress Qin¡¯s expression changed dramatically. She couldn¡¯t imagine what kind of existence was in the forge.


    She started to realize why her Master told her to try to resolve the feud between herself and Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Retreat quickly! This Zhao Feng is not what he seems. Who knows what kind of expert is behind him?¡±


    The other three True Lord Ranks started to run away from Tiegan Palace.


    ¡°You want to run? Hehe¡­ too late.¡±


    A powerful surge of wind and lightning descended.


    The four True Lord Ranks felt numb, and their flying speed slowed by twenty or thirty percent.


    The Qin Sword Palace First Elder was the least affected since his cultivation was the highest.


    In that instant, the Wind Lightning Yuan Qi nearby was like a raging tornado that enveloped the four True Lord Ranks.


    ¡°What a powerful mental energy!¡±


    The eyes of the Iron Blood Religion Deputy Patriarch lit up. Joy appeared on his face, but he didn¡¯t slow down as he continued his pursuit.


    When Zhao Feng appeared, the raging fire in Tiemo¡¯s heart was finally unleashed. He wasn¡¯t scared of those four True Lord Ranks given his strength, but he was forced to defend, which made him extremely dissatisfied.


    ¡°Light and Darkness Flying Rotational Slash!¡±


    The Wheel of Light and Darkness started to speed up as it turned into an eye-catching spinning blade.


    Shu~~~


    The blade-form Wheel of Light and Darkness flashed through the air like lightning.


    ¡°Arghhhh!¡±


    The First Elder of the Liu family, who had only flown a hundred yards, was cut in two.


    He didn¡¯t think that the Wheel of Light and Darkness had such a long range.


    Because Tiemo was forced to defend earlier, many of his skills weren¡¯t used. Now that he was unrestrained, he instantly showed everyone his strength and the power of the Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    At the same time.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Crackling Strike!¡±


    The blue-haired figure flashed through the air as a blade of wind and lightning was formed.


    Crackle!


    The blade of wind and lightning slashed through the air with a sound of thunder.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed and agility were the best among the True Lords present, and he appeared behind the Qin Sword Palace Master in an instant.


    ¡°Don¡¯t~~~!¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace Master screamed as her face went white and her body started to become numb.


    Weng~~


    The blade of wind and lightning brought down a destructive aura as it ripped through her defense.


    Normal True Lord Ranks had no chance of fighting back against Zhao Feng¡¯s terrifying speed and powerful attacks.


    The Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s face was filled with fear, and within her eyes was begging and helplessness.


    Regret and bitterness appeared in her heart.


    But it was all too late.


    ¡°You brought this upon yourself.¡±


    A cold voice sounded as the wind and lightning blade exploded, and the Qin Sword Palace Master¡¯s screaming suddenly stopped.


    In just two short breaths, the Qin Sword Palace Master and the First Elder of the Liu family died.


    ¡°Two True Lord Ranks just died at the same time!¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and the spectators within Tiegan Palace were filled with excitement and their blood boiled.


    Zhao Feng and Tiemo attacked simultaneously, slaying their targets at the same time.


    The two True Lord Ranks howled at the same moment. After finishing their opponents, Zhao Feng and Tiemo exchanged glances with a smile.


    Tiemo was filled with joy. Not only had Zhao Feng returned safely from the inheritance, his strength was at such a high level.


    From his methods just now, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength didn¡¯t seem much different from Tiemo.


    Furthermore, this might not even be his full strength.


    ¡°So fast¡­. Both the Qin Sword Palace Master and the Liu family First Elder died¡­.¡±


    ¡°Run! This Zhao Feng¡¯s strength has already reached such a terrifying level after coming back.¡±


    Empress Qin and the Qin Sword Palace First Elder were shocked, and they burned their Qi of True Spirit almost at the same time as they ran away.


    Sou! Sou!


    Two figures flashed toward the clouds and Zhao Feng looked coldly at them.


    His left eye locked on to the Qin Sword Palace First Elder.


    ¡°Kill the Qin Sword Palace First Elder first!¡±


    Tiemo¡¯s voice sounded. His thoughts were the exact same as Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Of course, their starting points were different.


    The reason why Tiemo wanted to kill the Qin Sword Palace First Elder was because of the effect it could bring to the Canopy Great Country.


    The Qin Sword Palace was one of the eight major forces of the Canopy Great Country and it had two True Lord Ranks.


    The Qin Sword Palace First Elder had almost reached the peak True Lord Rank. Once he broke through, his strength would catch up to the Deputy Patriarch. At that time, he would become a great threat.


    ¡°The Qin Sword Palace Master is dead. If we kill the Qin Sword Palace First Elder too, the Qin Sword Palace won¡¯t have any more True Lord Ranks. It¡¯s like an army losing their general.¡±


    Tiemo was moved. Killing the Qin Sword Palace First Elder could disintegrate one of the eight great forces.


    Usually, the likelihood of killing the Qin Sword Palace First Elder was low, because if he wanted to run, Tiemo couldn¡¯t do much to stop him.


    However, with the speed specialist Zhao Feng here, there was hope in killing the First Elder today.


    ¡°Eye of Ice Soul!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly turned a bone-chilling blue and locked on to the First Elder.


    The Qin Sword Palace First Elder felt his body go cold, and even his thoughts slowed down. His speed was greatly reduced.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on¡­!?¡±


    The Qin Sword Palace First Elder exclaimed. His reflexes and speed had decreased greatly.


    He soon realized that he was locked on by Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline, but even though he knew that, he couldn¡¯t do anything about it.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ good job, Zhao Feng!¡±


    Tiemo laughed as he closed in with his Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    Zhao Feng had locked on to the Qin Sword Palace First Elder and flew over.


    ¡°Light and Darkness Flying Rotational Slash!¡±


    Tiemo¡¯s Wheel of Light and Darkness flew out and it almost instantly landed on the Qin Sword Palace First Elder.


    The First Elder couldn¡¯t dodge because he was locked down by the Eye of Ice Soul, so he had to burn his Qi of True Spirit to block it.


    Wah!


    The wheel left a deep injury that ran straight to the bone as blood splattered all over him.


    Shua!


    Then a blue-haired youth arrived behind the Qin Sword Palace First Elder with unparalleled speed.


    Shuu!


    Zhao Feng held a blade made of wind and lightning that he expressionlessly stabbed toward the First Elder¡¯s back.


    Whoosh!


    The Qin Sword Palace First Elder tried his best to evade, but one of his arms was sliced off by the blade of wind and lightning.


    With the combined efforts of Zhao Feng and the Deputy Patriarch, the Qin Sword Palace First Elder couldn¡¯t resist at all and was slain in just two moves.


    ¡°Great! It¡¯s going smoothly.¡±


    Tiemo¡¯s face was filled with joy.


    After all, the cultivation of the Qin Sword Palace First Elder was close to the peak True Lord Rank, so if he wanted to run, it would be hard to slay him.


    He suddenly realized that he had underestimated Zhao Feng¡¯s strength and eye-bloodline.


    In reality, the Qin Sword Palace First Elder had been sentenced to death the moment Zhao Feng opened his eye-bloodline ¨C even if Tiemo didn¡¯t do anything.


    Zhao Feng was expressionless as they killed the Qin Sword Palace First Elder. His eye-bloodline returned to normal and he didn¡¯t seem fazed at all.


    Tiemo couldn¡¯t help but look at Zhao Feng deeply. After meeting Zhao Feng this time, even he couldn¡¯t fully see through this new Overwhelming Prodigy.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something. His expression changed drastically as he disappeared with a flash.


    A couple breaths later, with an arc of lightning, Zhao Feng appeared in the underground forge.


    The forge was still covered with a dark mist that could block the detection of True Lord Ranks.


    Master Tiegan was shocked. He felt that it was hard to breathe, and he could only barely


    manage to see a skeleton with two red flames for eyes.


    The Wheel of Light and Darkness floated in front of the skeleton.


    ¡°Master, please relax. I¡¯ve studied forging for hundreds of years, I¡¯m better than normal blacksmith masters.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was completing the last step for the Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head faintly. Although the skeletal Division Leader might not know the blueprints and couldn¡¯t actually complete this last step, it wasn¡¯t hard for it to maintain the current state.


    One had to know, the skeletal Division Leader was a Sovereign at its peak. Its experience and knowledge far surpassed Zhao Feng and Master Tiegan.


    ¡°Maintain that state for a while.¡±


    Zhao Feng said as he disappeared from the forge once more.


    A while later.


    Qiu!


    A gust of wind and lightning caught up to the Iron Blood Religion Deputy Patriarch and Empress Qin.


    ¡°Hahaha Empress Qin! You¡¯ve been my enemy for years, but you probably didn¡¯t think this would be the outcome today, did you?¡±


    The Iron Blood Religion Deputy Patriarch laughed as he forced Empress Qin into despair.


    Blood was splattered over Empress Qin¡¯s gown, which was ripped and revealed alluring white skin.


    ¡°Lord Tiemo, please let me live.¡±


    Empress Qin looked extremely sympathetic as she begged.


    Even the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion had to calm his heart in case he was affected by Empress Qin¡¯s Dao of Charm.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    The Deputy Patriarch was worried that something unexpected would happen, so he sliced his Wheel of Light and Darkness toward Empress Qin.


    At this point in time, Empress Qin was severely injured and couldn¡¯t stop this strike.


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    A calm voice sounded in the air and a gust of wind and lightning landed between the two.


    Weng~~


    The Wheel of Light and Darkness was blocked by a ripple of blue and could proceed no further, as if it was facing the ocean.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡­¡±

 503 Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion

    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡­¡±


    Tiemo looked at the blue-haired youth in disbelief.


    The spectators all shouted in surprise.


    At the last moment, when the Iron Blood Religion Deputy Patriarch was about to split Empress Qin in two, Zhao Feng suddenly interfered and blocked the blow.


    A layer of blue surrounded Zhao Feng¡¯s body. The power of the Wheel of Light and Darkness was blocked and absorbed by the blue layer like a stone sinking into the ocean.


    _Why did Zhao Feng block me?_


    Although Tiemo was curious, he was more surprised about Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.


    The Deputy Patriarch¡¯s Wheel of Light and Darkness couldn¡¯t even break through Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline defense.


    Tiemo was sure that even a peak True Lord Rank couldn¡¯t block his Wheel of Light and Darkness so easily.


    However, this youth in front of him did just that with ease.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch, I owe the Sage a favor. Please let her go this time.¡±


    Zhao Feng explained.


    Zhao Feng and Empress Qin were on different sides and they had schemed against each another in the past. The former had even kidnapped the latter.


    However, Zhao Feng decided not to kill Empress Qin due to several reasons, such as the Sage and the Broken Moon Clan¡¯s First Elder.


    ¡°Oh well. I¡¯ll let her go again then.¡±


    The Deputy Patriarch sighed. He shook his head as he put away the Wheel of Light and Darkness.


    _Let her go again? Again?_


    Zhao Feng was puzzled. Did the Deputy Patriarch have the chance to kill Empress Qin in the past and not take it for some reason?


    Empress Qin let out a long breath. Her clothes were drenched in cold sweat.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I didn¡¯t think you would be the one to save me.¡±


    Her expression was complex. She wanted to kill Zhao Feng with those other three, but she ended up being saved by Zhao Feng instead.


    ¡°Piss off. This is the last chance.¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced at Empress Qin in disgust.


    He didn¡¯t have any good feelings toward Empress Qin. He even had a little bit of killing intent.


    Empress Qin didn¡¯t dare to stay too long, leaving immediately.


    ¡°Empress Qin created waves and caused chaos ever since she joined the Imperials and I had many chances to kill her before she fully matured. However, because of the Sage, I never killed her.¡±


    Tiemo watched Empress Qin leave.


    Zhao Feng remembered how Jiang Sanfeng told him that Tiemo had gone to visit the Sage to confirm whether Zhao Feng was alive or dead.


    ¡°It¡¯s mainly because the Patriarch ¨C Brother Hong ¨C has a good relationship with the Sage.¡±


    Tiemo sighed.


    _Patriarch? The true Patriarch?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved. He didn¡¯t think the connection would be this complex.


    He soon remembered the mysterious elder that gave him the ball of Ice Soul and the Dark Eye Incomplete Page.


    After letting Empress Qin go, Zhao Feng quickly returned to the forge and continued with the task.


    During this period of time, a black mist covered the forge, and no one could see inside.


    Even someone as strong as Tiemo could barely see through, and even then, he was almost injured.


    ¡°There seems to be an expert behind Zhao Feng that specializes in the Dao of Ghost Corpses¡­.¡±


    Tiemo was surprised. In terms of cultivation, he wasn¡¯t far from the half-step Origin Core Realm, but even he couldn¡¯t guess what kind of existence was in the underground forge.


    He started to realize that he couldn¡¯t see through Zhao Feng anymore.


    Shua!


    The mist in the forge started to fade, revealing only Zhao Feng and Master Tiegan.


    Zhao Feng continued with the forging, and although Master Tiegan was curious, he didn¡¯t say anything as he helped on the side.


    The last step of the forging was finally complete.


    Weng~~


    A silver-and-azure wheel that glittered with lightning attached itself onto Zhao Feng¡¯s arm and started to spin. Its force created an invisible tornado.


    Zhao Feng then used his True Force to expand the simplified Wheel of Light and Darkness to a mechanical arm that was slightly bigger than a normal adult¡¯s.


    ¡°This simplified Wheel of Light and Darkness has merged with the power of wind and lightning, and its strength has dramatically risen. Although its grade isn¡¯t as high as the real version, this item is more perfected among its grade.¡±


    Master Tiegan praised.


    Tiemo couldn¡¯t help but try it on, ¡°It can create powerful attacks using the smallest amount of True Force, and it has the speed and destruction of wind and lightning. Its power surpasses same-tier items by far.¡±


    There was envy in his words. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his cultivation had reached the peak True Lord Rank and the grade of the simplified Wheel of Light and Darkness wasn¡¯t high enough, even he would be moved to buy it.


    ¡°I¡¯m planning on giving this to someone in the Cloud area.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    Tiemo smiled. He agreed and assured that the experts of the Iron Blood Religion would personally deliver it to First Elder of the Broken Moon Clan.


    Zhao Feng gave the simplified Wheel of Light and Darkness away and let out a breath.


    One of his tasks was to craft this Wheel of Light and Darkness for his Master and it was finally complete.


    On the same night, the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan flew through the air.


    The sedan was quite spacious, and Zhao Feng, Jiang Sanfeng, and Die Ye were all there.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, not only were you able to return to the continent safely, your strength has also increased by leaps and bounds.¡±


    The Deputy Patriarch sighed and thought about the past.


    Hearing this, Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye both had the same feeling.


    One and a half years ago, Zhao Feng was only a youth around their level, but now Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was comparable to the Deputy Patriarch¡¯s.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng was someone of the younger generation. His future was immeasurable.


    While they were speaking, the Deputy Patriarch was also curious about the unknown inheritance.


    Zhao Feng summarized the situation with the Purple Saint Ruins, but he didn¡¯t mention that Zhao Yufei had inherited the place.


    ¡°The Purple Saint Ruins has geniuses from three two-star sects? One of them is even two-and-a-half stars?¡±


    Tiemo was stunned. What made him sigh in admiration was that Zhao Feng had survived in that environment and even received an inheritance.


    Zhao Feng also covered his inheritance, only saying that it came from an expert at the Void God Realm.


    ¡°Void God Realm, that¡¯s the minimum requirement for a two-star sect.¡±


    There was longing in Tiemo¡¯s expression.


    Even normal Void God Realms were a legend on this continent.


    Several days later, the Golden Spear Blood Dragon Sedan returned to the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch, I have a present.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly said as he took out a mysterious drop of green liquid from a dark-green gourd.


    The Deputy Patriarch¡¯s pupils shrank and he instantly exclaimed, ¡°Is that¡­ the Elixir of Life!?¡±


    The mysterious green liquid radiated a pure aura of life, and it even contained an aura of the essence of life.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, this is the Elixir of Life.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled. After giving this drop out, he still had one more left.


    ¡°Elixir of Life¡­ great! Zhao Feng, I don¡¯t know how to thank you.¡±


    The Deputy Patriarch was extremely excited and speechless.


    It was obvious the Elixir of Life was too important to the Deputy Patriarch and the Iron Blood Religion.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch, please give this Elixir of Life to the Patriarch as thanks for that day.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as he spoke. He guessed that the mysterious elder he saw long ago was the true Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion.


    Tiemo smiled, ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re right. The person you saw that day is the Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion.¡±


    After replying, Tiemo led Zhao Feng into the underground palace.


    This was the second time Zhao Feng had come here.


    On the bed lay a thick-eyebrowed elder. His skin was all dry and there was no sign of life from him, as if he was already dead.


    ¡°Brother Hong, I¡¯m here.¡±


    Tiemo quickly came to the bedside.


    The thick-eyebrowed elder slowly opened his eyes and spoke in a weak voice, ¡°I can¡¯t live very long in this state. Don¡¯t bother me if there¡¯s nothing important.¡±


    When the thick-eyebrowed elder opened his eyes, Zhao Feng felt a unfathomable mental energy.


    ¡°Brother Hong, take a look.¡±


    Tiemo laughed and gently lifted his hand.


    The thick-eyebrowed elder looked closely and his eyes seemed to give off a divine light, ¡°Elixir of Life!¡±


    At this moment in time, the thick-eyebrowed elder¡¯s aura was released, and his mental energy aura seemed to resonate with space.


    Zhao Feng felt suppressed. No one had ever given him such a feeling before ever since returning to the Azure Flower Continent.


    The only ones who had slightly done so were Lu Tianyi, and the skeletal Division Leader when it used its secret technique.


    However, even those two couldn¡¯t be compared with this person.


    While Zhao Feng was thinking, the thick-eyebrowed elder had already swallowed the Elixir of Life.


    His dry skin, pale face, and weak aura were starting to turn around. It was similar to the moment before an old person died. They would become ¡°young¡± and full of energy. However, what was happening now wasn¡¯t momentary. It was real.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed worthy of being a legendary Elixir. The injury to my foundation has already healed 30-40%.¡±


    A faint red appeared on the elder¡¯s face as he became overjoyed.


    His mental energy aura became more and more terrifying. Normal True Lord Ranks could only look up to it.


    Hu~~


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi above the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion roared. The thick-eyebrowed scarlet-haired elder was like the ocean. He would draw in Yuan Qi with every breath.


    His powerful aura seemed to lead the Yuan Qi from every direction to rule the heavens and earth.


    ¡°This cultivation¡­ could it be¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt infinitely small in front of this aura.


    Experts at the True Lord Rank could ¡°resonate with¡± and ¡°summon¡± Heaven Earth Yuan Qi on a small scale, and they stood at the peak of the golden pyramid because of it.


    However, this scarlet-haired elder¡¯s cultivation had reached an even higher level, and he seemed to become the center of a whirlpool of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    The Yuan Qi in the air would pour into him even if he didn¡¯t specifically make it, and it filled him with limitless energy.


    Such a level exceeded the Three Heavens of the True Spirit Realm.

 504 Secret of the Sovereigns

    In the underground palace, Zhao Feng was within the center of a chaotic tornado, and he felt the pressure of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi screaming.


    Any True Lord Rank in this situation would feel like a boat in a storming ocean.


    Those with higher comprehension felt more pressure. On the contrary, a normal person wouldn¡¯t feel as pressured.


    ¡°It¡¯s this guy¡­.¡±


    A slightly surprised voice from the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind through the Dark Heart Seed.


    Zhao Feng paused. He didn¡¯t think that the skeletal Division Leader would know the Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion, but thinking about it, the skeletal Division Leader was an expert of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion that had lived for several hundred years. It wasn¡¯t strange for it to recognize the Iron Blood Religion Patriarch.


    Without a doubt, the thick-eyebrowed elder was a Sovereign when he was at his peak.


    It wasn¡¯t the first time Zhao Feng met someone with Origin Core Realm level intent.


    The first was the Grand Elder of the Imperials. However, this Grand Elder was only at the half-step Origin Core Realm, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t need to be so wary of the Deputy Patriarch.


    The second was Lu Tianyi in the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Lu Tianyi wasn¡¯t far away from the Origin Core Realm. Zhao Feng guessed that, as long as Lu Tianyi didn¡¯t die from the little poisonous scorpion, he would probably be able to break through to the Origin Core Realm within a year or two.


    The skeletal Division Leader also had a high-level intent, but the Patriarch¡¯s intent was magnificent and right in front of him.


    ¡°This type of intent turns oneself into the center of the earth and will cause Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to bow down without doing anything. Turning one¡¯s life into a higher level¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and inspected the Sovereign¡¯s intent. Although this world was still far away for Zhao Feng, it didn¡¯t stop him from learning.


    Zhao Feng even compared the Patriarch with Lu Tianyi and the skeletal Division Leader, trying to find common points between them.


    The common point would be the core of the Origin Core Realm.


    While comparing each of them, Zhao Feng started to understand, and many of his questions were answered.


    ¡°The scarlet-haired Patriarch, the skeletal Division Leader, and Lu Tianyi¡­. The Patriarch¡¯s intent is the strongest, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s intent is the weirdest, and Lu Tianyi¡¯s intent is the most profound and seems to be close to the origin of Heaven and Earth¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng concluded. In terms of intent, Lu Tianyi¡¯s was the most profound, even though it wasn¡¯t the strongest.


    Zhao Feng could only think that this was because Lu Tianyi came from a two-and-a-half star super sect ¨C the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    Higher rated forces had better skills. Furthermore, even if Lu Tianyi wasn¡¯t the Head disciple, he was at least an elite amongst Core disciples.


    This was because the Purple Saint Ruins had age restrictions.


    For example, the Three Eyed Saint holding the Tea Party this time couldn¡¯t participate in the most recent Sacred True Dragon Gathering due to the age limit.


    Time passed by slowly.


    Zhao Feng stood still as he felt the intent of the Origin Core Realm. Although it didn¡¯t allow Zhao Feng to quickly reach the Origin Core Realm, it allowed his mental energy to progress.


    This continued until a certain moment, when the surge of intent started to fade and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi became calm again.


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡±


    An old voice full of power sounded next to his ear. The scarlet-haired elder was now sitting on his bed and blood had returned to his face.


    ¡°Patriarch Hong.¡±


    Zhao Feng instantly bowed.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I didn¡¯t think you¡¯d actually be able to bring back the Elixir of Life from an inheritance.¡±


    The scarlet-haired elder was filled with excitement and happiness.


    He had made that request on a whim and didn¡¯t really have much hope. This was because treasures such as the Elixir of Life were extremely rare even in the inheritances and the competition would be very fierce.


    Back then, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was only worthy of making the top one-hundred-and-fifty.


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the ball of Ice Soul and the Dark Eye Incomplete Page, this junior wouldn¡¯t have made this much of an improvement and been able to fight against the prodigies in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering or the geniuses in the inheritance.¡±


    Zhao Feng said truthfully. He was grateful to this scarlet-haired elder.


    The ball of Ice Soul allowed him to embark on the Dao of the Soul, which was the most suitable Dao for his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The Dark Eye Incomplete Page allowed Zhao Feng to understand the basics of eye-bloodlines, allowing his path to widen.


    It could be said that these two items that the Patriarch had given him changed Zhao Feng¡¯s destiny.


    The scarlet-haired elder thought for a moment before smiling, ¡°One peck, one drink. Maybe this is fate.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt an indescribable comprehension from this, but one thing was certain; the Patriarch had made Zhao Feng, and in return, Zhao Feng had made the Patriarch.


    ¡°However, bringing the Elixir of Life has saved me. Zhao Feng, if you have anything you want, you can ask and I¡¯ll do my best to satisfy it.¡±


    The elder smiled and kept on inspecting Zhao Feng with admiration.


    Zhao Feng had a characteristic, and that was repaying kindness with kindness.


    Which force wouldn¡¯t want to raise a prodigy like this?


    ¡°Patriarch, the Elixir of Life was to repay you. I don¡¯t want anything else.¡±


    Zhao Feng replied humbly.


    From his perspective, the scarlet-haired elder saved him, and now they were even.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­ good!¡±


    The elder laughed for a while before inspecting Zhao Feng once more. He admired him even more.


    Any other genius would be overjoyed by such an offer from a Sovereign, but Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t.


    Of course, what made the scarlet-haired elder¡¯s heart move was Zhao Feng¡¯s potential, as well as Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline that even he couldn¡¯t see through.


    ¡°Brother Hong, Zhao Feng became an Overwhelming Prodigy this time, and he was crowned the Lord of the Overwhelming Prodigies alongside Yu Tianhao.¡±


    Tiemo used this chance to summarize Zhao Feng¡¯s achievements in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    He then told the Patriarch how they slew the True Lord Ranks not long ago.


    In this process, even the extremely knowledgeable Patriarch Hong was dazed from disbelief.


    At last, Brother Hong took a deep breath. He realized that he had underestimated Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Tiemo, your eyes are good. I didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng would be able to fight that kid Yu Tianhao to a draw. Although Yu Tianhao¡¯s father Yu Xingchen is a member of the Sacred Alliance as well, his strength is monstrous. He could defeat me when I was at my peak¡­.¡±


    Patriarch Hong sighed.


    He knew very clearly how strong Yu Tianhao was. Sovereign Yu Xingchen was a member of the Sacred Alliance just like himself.


    When Zhao Feng heard this, he understood why some of the Sovereigns of the Sacred Alliance seemed to know the Deputy Patriarch.


    After knowing a Sovereign, Zhao Feng started to learn about the circle.


    The Sacred Alliance was an organization, formed by a group of Sovereigns, that decided the fate of the continent.


    It played a huge role in defeating the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    ¡°Brother Hong, now that you¡¯ve returned, and Zhao Feng¡¯s strength isn¡¯t any weaker than mine, the Canopy Great Country will be ours.¡±


    Tiemo said proudly.


    Which force in the Canopy Great Country could stop a Sovereign and two True Lord Ranks that were comparable to a normal half-step Origin Core Realm?


    ¡°I¡¯ve slept for too long, so I will probably need a year or two before I can recover to my peak state.¡±


    Patriarch Hong said deeply.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed. Patriarch Hong¡¯s current state wasn¡¯t much stronger than the skeletal Division Leader back at the castle.


    The current mission was for the Patriarch to recover first. Once his strength recovered, the Iron Blood Religion could rule the Great Country without expending any soldiers.


    ¡°I forgot about that. Furthermore, the spawn of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion have started to take action again. Even within the Canopy Great Country, their forces have caused chaos.¡±


    The Deputy Patriarch¡¯s words suddenly shifted.


    ¡°Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion!¡±


    Patriarch Hong¡¯s eyes flashed coldly and he released a mental energy force that seemed to freeze the entire underground palace.


    This news didn¡¯t surprise Zhao Feng.


    The situation in the Cloud area reflected the situation across the continent.


    Back then, while he was journeying toward the Canopy Great Country, he had found that the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion controlled a few strong countries.


    If Zhao Feng¡¯s guesses were correct, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯s strategy was to start from the countryside, slowly expand, and finally surround the strong clans and great countries.


    ¡°Over the past year, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion has created strongholds in the far territories of the Canopy Great Country. Even the eight major forces have been somewhat infiltrated.¡±


    Tiemo summarized the situation.


    Hearing this, both Patriarch Hong and Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became grim.


    This was especially so for Patriarch Hong, who had lived in the era of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion era. He knew how terrifying it was.


    Several hundred years ago, the Demonic Religion was just a step away from controlling the continent.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold. He had slain many experts of the Demonic Religion and even imprisoned a Division Leader in his Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ Zhao Feng, there¡¯s still hope if you turn to the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion right now. I can tell you that the Patriarch of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion has already awoken, and far earlier than the Sovereign in front of you.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s dark voice sounded through the Dark Heart Seed connection.

 505 The True History

    ¡°I can tell you that the Patriarch of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion has already awoken, and far earlier than the Sovereign in front of you.¡±


    Zhao Feng only half-believed what the skeletal Division Leader said, but his heart still shook.


    Was the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion returning to bring chaos to the continent?


    ¡°Patriarch has already successfully taken away the Scarlet Moon Inheritance, and the forces of the Religion are recovering. There will be more and more attacks on the Azure Flower Continent in the coming future. That isn¡¯t much of a secret to the upper echelon of the Sacred Alliance.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said confidently.


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly and circulated the Dark Heart Seed in his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. The skeletal Division Leader instantly felt as if its soul was about to shatter, and the aura of death made it tremble. It didn¡¯t dare to say anything else.


    ¡°The Sacred Alliance will deal with the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. We just need to protect our own territory.¡±


    Patriarch Hong said deeply after calming down.


    Tiemo nodded his head in agreement. The Iron Blood Religion was only responsible for the Canopy Great Country.


    Zhao Feng was also emotionless. Being a Chapter Leader of the Iron Blood Religion, he was only responsible for the Thousand Water area, and that was a simple task.


    Compared with that, he already controlled two strong countries and thirteen small countries.


    However, what Patriarch Hong said next made Zhao Feng choke.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, to thank you, I have made two decisions. The first is to make you a Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion.¡±


    _Deputy Patriarch._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped, but he didn¡¯t know whether it was from joy or worry.


    The Iron Blood Religion was an overwhelming force in the Canopy Great Country.


    A Deputy Patriarch was only below one person and above ten thousand others. For a great country, it was a legendary existence.


    Before Zhao Feng could reply, Tiemo was already smiling, ¡°Congratulations¡­ Deputy Patriarch Zhao.¡±


    Patriarch Hong was a Sovereign and his words were absolute.


    Zhao Feng suddenly realized that there was no reason to decline. Being a Deputy Patriarch meant having a higher status, which could help Zhao Feng¡¯s path of cultivation.


    On top of that, it was Patriarch Hong¡¯s good will, so Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t reject it.


    ¡°Thank you, Patriarch Hong.¡±


    Zhao Feng thanked him, but he wasn¡¯t overwhelmed by joy.


    A weird light flashed in Patriarch Hong¡¯s eyes. It seemed as if the position of Deputy Patriarch didn¡¯t mean much to Zhao Feng.


    The reason he promoted Zhao Feng was because of his admiration and gratefulness toward Zhao Feng. Of course, there was also the meaning of pulling him closer.


    ¡°Brother Hong, could your second decision be¡­?¡±


    Tiemo seemed to remember something.


    _The second decision?_


    Zhao Feng instantly paid attention. Patriarch Hong was a Sovereign and a member of the Sacred Alliance. His ability was more than just ¡°great.¡±


    Back then, a mere two items from this man changed Zhao Feng¡¯s future.


    Zhao Feng started to realize that this second decision could instantly change his destiny.


    ¡°I will go to the Sacred Alliance and try to get you a slot that could give you a chance to enter the true world stage.¡±


    The smile on Patriarch Hong¡¯s mouth grew wider.


    _A chance to enter the true world stage?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped, but he was puzzled.


    ¡°Brother Hong, are you going to let him enter the organization behind the Sacred Alliance¡­?¡±


    Tiemo was stunned, while Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but become even more puzzled. It wasn¡¯t hard for him to see that this ¡°chance¡± wasn¡¯t easy to come by.


    ¡°Can the Patriarch please explain?¡±


    Zhao Feng was curious.


    Patriarch Hong smiled, ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯ve been to an inheritance, so you know that the Azure Flower Continent isn¡¯t a true continent. The world we live in is filled with limitless ocean, and the Azure Flower Continent is known as the Azure Flower Zone, just a tiny island in the ocean.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and wasn¡¯t surprised. In the Purple Saint Ruins, he talked with the disciples of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    The legends said that, after the Desolate Continent shattered, every speck of it became an island like the Azure Flower Zone.


    ¡°The Azure Flower Zone is just a tiny island, and there are five or six other small islands just like it nearby. All of these islands are ruled by a two-star sect ¨C the Three Saints Palace.¡±


    Patriarch Hong paused.


    __


    _Three Saints Palace, a two-star sect._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. He didn¡¯t think that there would be a shadow of a two-star sect behind the Azure Flower Continent.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng found that the words ¡°Three Saints Palace¡± were familiar, and a sudden sentence flashed through his mind, ¡°The Three Saints Palace has become unmovable in the Area of Dust. In the past few days, it even lured several one-star factions to almost break the Curse of One Hundred Graves. Now, the energy of the teleportation array has been used up¡­. This subordinate will be leaving first¡­.¡°


    Zhao Feng finally started to understand what it meant.


    It was obvious that the force that set up the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground had tried to attack the Azure Flower Continent but was stopped by the Three Saints Palace.


    This force should be related to the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you another piece of news; when the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion swept across the continent and faced the Sacred Alliance and the ten major forces, it was technically just an extension of a clash between the Three Saints Palace and another two-star sect.¡±


    Patriarch Hong laughed.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng almost shouted, ¡°...is that true?¡±


    He never would have thought that the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯s era would have such a secret behind it.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, the Azure Flower Continent was just a battlefield for the two two-star sects. The Three Saints Palace won in the end, and the other two-star sect was too far away.¡±


    Tiemo seemed to also know some secrets and added.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart took a long time to calm down.


    The Azure Flower Continent was just an extended battlefield of two two-star sects.


    ¡°The Patriarch is telling me about the Three Saints Palace. Could it be¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly had a thought.


    ¡°Hehe, that¡¯s right. I¡¯m going to recommend you into the Three Saints Palace. This is a chance that True Dragon geniuses would dream of. Because I¡¯m a core member of the Sacred Alliance, I have this ability.¡±


    Patriarch Hong said.


    _Enter a two-star sect¡­ the Three Saints Palace._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart sped faster.


    He had fought with two-star sect disciples before and knew how terrifying they were.


    The entire Azure Flower Continent, which had one-star sects and countless countries, was just a subordinate of the two-star sect.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch Zhao, I believe with your talent, you¡¯d at least be able to become a Core disciple of the Three Saints Palace with ease.¡±


    Tiemo said playfully.


    The Azure Flower Continent was currently in its most glorious era, and Zhao Feng shouldn¡¯t have much trouble entering the Three Saints Palace.


    ¡°Once I enter a two-star sect, I¡¯ll be able to truly enter the world stage¡­. But¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart spun and dropped for several reasons.


    ¡°Patriarch Hong, thank you for your good will, but I can¡¯t decide whether I want to join the Three Saints Palace. At least, not yet.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    _What!??_


    The expressions of the two instantly turned to disbelief as they looked at Zhao Feng.


    They thought that Zhao Feng would agree instantly, but Zhao Feng seemed to have the thought of turning it down. Even if he did accept, it seemed he wouldn¡¯t make a decision for quite a while.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you can think about it. I need at least a year and a half to recover a bit and go to the Sacred Alliance.¡±


    Patriarch Hong was slightly disappointed, but he didn¡¯t ask for any specifics.


    A while later, Zhao Feng and Tiemo left the underground palace and the latter was curious, ¡°Deputy Patriarch Zhao, why do you even need to think about such a good chance?¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed and couldn¡¯t explain.


    There were two main reasons why he couldn¡¯t agree immediately.


    One, the Purple Saint Ruins. Zhao Yufei was still in there, and the Sage had divined that she would face more danger than fortune.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t just ignore Zhao Yufei. He needed to complete the Hundred Corpse plan, and that required resources from the Purple Saint Ruins.


    It would also be better if he could cultivate in the Purple Saint Ruins. The effect would be even better than a two-star sect.


    The second reason was Liu Qinxin.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t quite calm down if he didn¡¯t know Liu Qinxin¡¯s whereabouts or situation.


    He had a plan, and that was to find the Sky Saint Qin Inheritance when he was stronger.


    Due to these two reasons, he couldn¡¯t join the Three Saints Palace easily.


    Once he joined a two-star sect, his freedom would be restricted.


    Several days later, the news of a new Iron Blood Religion Deputy Patriarch spread across the great country.


    The entire Iron Blood Religion was stunned. Everyone knew that the current person in charge of the Iron Blood Religion was Deputy Patriarch Tiemo, and now there was going to be another Deputy Patriarch?


    This was enough to cause waves in the Canopy Great Country.


    According to some sources, this was ordered by Patriarch Hong.


    This news shook the great country and even the forces in the Northern Continent.


    If the rumors of the Iron Blood Religion reviving was true, even the Heavenly Yuan Clan would be moved.


    A month later, in a hall of the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion.


    ¡°Greetings Deputy Patriarch Zhao.¡±


    Experts of the middle and upper echelons, on both the left and right, bowed deeply.


    The lowest cultivation present here was the True Human Rank. They were elites of the main headquarters, and some were Chapter Leaders.


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye were close to Zhao Feng.


    The two had become Zhao Feng¡¯s left and right hands, as well as members of the upper echelon.


    The hall was dead-silent after the greeting.


    Zhao Feng had his eyes closed as he sat on the throne. He didn¡¯t say anything right away.


    This was the first time he would be in a managerial position in the religion, and it was all because Tiemo had left the headquarters to wipe out some spawn of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    There was a saying in the mortal world: new officials would set three batches of flames.


    (TL note: new officials would usually do something harsh in order to display their dominance and power to the underlings.)


    Now that the religion was currently being led by Zhao Feng, none of the upper echelon members knew what awaited them.

 506 Wipe Ou

    Within the hall of the Iron Blood Religion, Zhao Feng slowly opened his eyes as he sat on the throne.


    Jiang Sanfeng told Zhao Feng, ¡°Deputy Patriarch, usually you will need to hold a meeting at least once a month to find out what important issues there are. Then you will need to make the decisions.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as he rubbed his forehead.


    Over the last month, he was either in seclusion or gathering resources.


    He also participated in cleansing the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, but when he arrived, only the weak ones were left, which made him depressed.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze swept across the middle and upper echelons within the hall.


    Even though the aura of his mental energy wasn¡¯t purposely being released, it was still enough to make the True Human Ranks and True Mystic Ranks feel uneasy.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was comparable to a Sovereign, and his mental energy level was even stronger than Tiemo¡¯s.


    ¡°Terrifying! Just his gaze alone almost shattered my mind.¡±


    ¡°This new Deputy Patriarch¡¯s mental energy pressure seems to be even stronger than Deputy Patriarch Tiemo¡¯s.¡±


    The middle and upper echelons felt their hearts shake as Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze swept over them.


    They had heard the story of this new Deputy Patriarch.


    Escaping the Flooding Lake City, kidnapping Empress Qin, sweeping the Thousand Water area, becoming an Overwhelming Prodigy in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering¡­ and even slaying the Qin Sword Palace Master and company.


    Not a single other junior had so much glory and fame to their name.


    Across the entire Great Canopy Country, Zhao Feng was already a powerful figure.


    ¡°What, no one has anything to say? Great! I¡¯m about to go on a long journey¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and got up to leave while looking at the dazed group.


    There wasn¡¯t much time left till the Tea Party.


    Zhao Feng still wanted to see the ¡°strongest eye-bloodline¡± on the continent.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch, please stop!¡±


    ¡°I have things to report¡­!¡±


    The upper echelon members instantly called out.


    Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye looked at each other with a weird expression. It seemed as if Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t wait to leave.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch Zhao, the reason our mission to wipe out the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion spawn failed is because there are spies in the upper echelon of the Iron Blood Religion¡­.¡±


    A True Mystic Rank protector bowed and said.


    _Spies?_


    Hearing this, the hall broke into chaos.


    ¡°Back when the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was defeated, many of their forces split up and joined countless other forces.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. He found that the possibility was high.


    He had participated in the last extermination mission, but there were only the old and the injured at the stronghold.


    The Cloud area and the Canopy Great Country both had problems, but Zhao Feng had already cleaned the Cloud area.


    On the other hand, the Canopy Great Country was too big; it was dozens of times bigger than the Cloud area and it was filled with countless forces.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t say anything as everyone discussed the ¡°spies.¡± His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye radiated a mysterious power that made anyone he looked at feel as if they had been seen through.


    ¡°One, two, three¡­¡±


    A cold intent appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Not only did he have the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he also had profound mental energy techniques, as well as a Division Leader in his Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    Zhao Feng remembered those who seemed to be suspicious.


    ¡°Leave this till later.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and let the issue pass.


    Other problems were then presented to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°The Purple Leaf Chapter Leader is getting old and decided to retire. We¡¯re short a Chapter Leader now. Deputy Patriarch can choose who to send as a replacement.¡±


    A Vice Chapter Leader reported with an excited look.


    ¡°The Qin Sword Palace has no leaders anymore and the religion tried to eat up some of their territory, but we¡¯ve been stopped by the Imperials and the Liu family¡­.¡±


    An old Chapter Leader sighed.


    ¡°Although the Qin Sword Palace still lives on, they¡¯re pretty much dead already. With the fall of the Liu family¡¯s First Elder, the Iron Blood Religion has become a power that overrides everyone else. This subordinate suggests we wipe out the empire and create our own country.¡±


    ¡°Wipe out the opposing forces! Build our own kingdom!¡±


    Many ambitious upper echelon members were supportive.


    The one that started this call was an old Elder from the main headquarters whose cultivation had reached the late-stage True Mystic Rank.


    ¡°Hmph! Build our own kingdom? There¡¯s not much difficulty in doing that, but the biggest danger is still the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly and stared at the ambitious Elder.


    The crowd¡¯s gazes instantly followed.


    ¡°This¡­ this subordinate only wanted the Iron Blood Religion to quickly rule the great country and become a one-star force.¡±


    The old Elder instantly started to sweat coldly.


    ¡°Take him down!¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered emotionlessly.


    As soon as he said that, Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye were pressing the Elder onto the ground.


    Many experts present were shocked and didn¡¯t know what was going on.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch Zhao, even if you¡¯re a Deputy Patriarch, you can¡¯t do this to me! How is anyone going to be willing to serve you?¡±


    The Elder didn¡¯t dare resist, instead attempting to argue for his innocence.


    ¡°How dare you keep on talking? Now that the Demonic Religion¡¯s revived, what¡¯s your intention in trying to stir up a war within the great country?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye sent a beam of mental energy that broke through the Elder¡¯s defense and his words started to reveal some things.


    The upper echelon understood.


    Who would benefit the most if there was an internal war in the Canopy Great Country? It was obviously the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even need to use his Eye of the Heart to make the Elder reveal his identity.


    In just a short instant, Zhao Feng had uncovered a spy.


    The present upper echelon felt their hearts go cold.


    Obviously, Zhao Feng was certain, because this man was one of the suspects he had identified earlier.


    An hour later, the people within the hall felt uneasy.


    One spy after another were pulled out by Zhao Feng.


    Of course, not all of them were from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. Over half of them were from the Imperials.


    Several days later, the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion was filled with fear as spies were weeded out left and right.


    All of this was due to the new Deputy Patriarch.


    His fame covered the entire headquarters.


    In just a few days, more than a dozen middle and upper echelon members were beheaded. This shocked everyone, but at the same time, it made everyone respect and fear him.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng had been in control of the religion for more than half a month and the entire headquarters had been cleansed.


    Tiemo arrived back one day and found that the aura of killing was sharper than before. After finding out what happened, his face was filled with admiration.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions pulled out the poison from the Iron Blood Religion, which was ten times more important than killing the enemy.


    On the same night, Zhao Feng and Tiemo met in a secret building.


    ¡°I¡¯m going on a long journey, so the Religion will need to be controlled by you.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    He felt relieved now that Tiemo was back.


    Although he could see through anyone with lower cultivation than himself with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, this wasn¡¯t the path he wanted to take.


    ¡°Oh? You¡¯re going to the Tea Party, right?¡±


    Tiemo asked. After all, he had participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering a long time ago, but his ranking wasn¡¯t as high as Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He wanted to see the improvements of the other geniuses, and he was somewhat interested in the Three Eyed Saint.


    ¡°Amongst the juniors, probably only Yu Tianhao can threaten you. However, you need to watch out for the Three Eyed Saint.¡±


    Tiemo warned.


    ¡°Oh? Three Eyed Saint?¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed an interested look.


    ¡°The Three Eyed Saint came first two times before Yu Tianhao and is fifty-something years old, so he¡¯s not a junior anymore. Furthermore, he joined the Three Saints Palace through the Sacred Alliance¡¯s recommendation several years ago and has been promoted to an Enforcer already¡­.¡±


    Tiemo said.


    _Three Saints Palace?_


    A light flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes. He didn¡¯t think that the Three Eyed Saint was a member of the Three Saints Palace, a two-star sect, and had already become an Enforcer as well.


    ¡°His Three Eye Divine Light is said to be unbreakable and it¡¯s the strongest eye-bloodline in the continent. He¡¯ll probably challenge you even though there¡¯s an age gap. That¡¯s because he and Goddess Bing Wei seem to be married.¡±


    Worry appeared in Tiemo¡¯s eyes.


    The possibility of Zhao Feng winning against Yu Tianhao was 50-50.


    However, the Three Eyed Saint was from the previous generation and he was from a two-star sect.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. The Three Eyed Saint and Goddess Bing Wei are married.¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned.


    Tiemo then proceeded to tell Zhao Feng the ability of the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eye-bloodline.


    Zhao Feng paid attention.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Tiemo, but even if the Three Eyed Saint doesn¡¯t do anything, I was planning to challenge him anyway.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words contained confidence.


    In a faraway area of ice, a male and female walked side-by-side toward a magnificent building.


    ¡°¡­that Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline specializes in mental energy, eye flames, and coldness.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei summarized.


    Next to her was a golden-haired youth with a cold expression. There was a closed ¡°third eye¡± on his forehead.


    ¡°Sister Bing, relax. My eye-bloodline has awakened to the third stage and can beat almost every eye-bloodline under the Origin Core Realm.¡±

 507 Scarlet Moon Division Leader Token

    A couple days later, several young figures were standing in an empty field within the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s still not here? How long are we going to wait?¡±


    A multi-colored-clothes youth had his arms crossed, acting like a gangster.


    ¡°Wang Xiaoguai! You¡¯ve got guts to act rudely in the territory of the Iron Blood Religion.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng said coldly.


    Wang Xiaoguai harrumphed, but his impatient expression disappeared.


    Next to Wang Xiaoguai, there were two youths. One was wearing golden robes while the other was in battle-robes.


    These three were True Dragon geniuses within the Canopy Great Country that had gathered together to go to the True Dragon Tea Party.


    The two next to Wang Xiaoguai were Prince Jin and Tian Yunzhi.


    The Canopy Great Country¡¯s performance was unexpectedly good. The amount of True Dragon geniuses it had was ranked first among the great countries.


    The Iron Blood Religion alone had three True Dragon geniuses: Zhao Feng, Jiang Sanfeng, and Die Ye.


    ¡°Jiang Sanfeng, there isn¡¯t much time left till the start of the Tea Party. If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Feng, we would have left a month ago.¡±


    Prince Jin couldn¡¯t help but groan.


    The reason they waited for Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t only because he was the number one genius in the great country, it was also because he was an Overwhelming Prodigy.


    If they were with Zhao Feng, they might be able to receive special treatment.


    Simply put, Zhao Feng was the leader of the great country and even the entire Northern Continent.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch Zhao said that we¡¯ll leave today.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng said confidently.


    Right at that moment, the sound of flying appeared.


    ¡°The Deputy Patriarch will arrive soon.¡±


    A girl in pink landed with a smile. It was Die Ye.


    As soon as her words finished, a slightly numbing sensation passed through the field, and a blue-haired youth landed almost at the same time as Die Ye.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡±


    Shock passed through Prince Jin and Tian Yunzhi¡¯s eyes. They didn¡¯t even see how Zhao Feng appeared.


    It was certain that Die Ye had left quite a while before Zhao Feng, but he landed at the same time.


    ¡°En, everyone¡¯s here. Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng said crisply.


    ¡°We¡¯re going to leave just like that?¡±


    Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s eyes stared at Zhao Feng and, although they were full of wariness, there was a surge of battle-intent.


    Jiang Sanfeng smiled, ¡°Deputy Patriarch, we were hoping for you to give us a pointer or two so we won¡¯t embarrass ourselves at the Tea Party.¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t decline. That was one of the intentions of them meeting here anyway.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze scanned across Wang Xiaoguai, Prince Jin, and Tian Yunzhi. All of them had reached the early-stage True Mystic Rank, and Prince Jin was closing in on the late-stage True Mystic Rank.


    Jiang Sanfeng had just recently broken through to the True Mystic Rank, and Die Ye was still at the peak True Human Rank.


    Compared with how they were during the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, everyone had made major improvements. They were worthy of the title True Dragon genius.


    The sparring session soon began.


    The first to come up was Wang Xiaoguai, who glared at Jiang Sanfeng as if he had remembered what the latter had shouted at him earlier.


    Jiang Sanfeng wasn¡¯t scared. He had just broken through to the True Mystic Rank and his technique had reached another level, causing his confidence to rise.


    Two figures soon intertwined on the field while Zhao Feng watched with interest.


    However, the speed with which the victor was decided was much faster than imagined.


    ¡°Sky Ape Divine Luo!¡±


    Wang Xiaoguai roared as his skin turned to stone and gave off a ring of gold.


    His fist seemed as if it could shake the earth and smash through mountains with absolute power.


    The intent from this fist alone almost made Jiang Sanfeng cough up blood.


    ¡°Bam!¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng¡¯s skill had just been unleashed when he was sent flying by one fist from Wang Xiaoguai.


    ¡°Jiang Sanfeng!¡±


    Die Ye exclaimed in disbelief as she went to help Jiang Sanfeng.


    One punch alone made Jiang Sanfeng unable to get up.


    It was decided in one move. The two weren¡¯t even on the same level.


    ¡°After entering the inheritance, Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s bloodline was further awakened, and his speed of growth is probably the fastest among them.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pupils contracted. He didn¡¯t think that Wang Xiaoguai was so strong.


    Jiang Sanfeng lost fair and square.


    Wang Xiaoguai absolutely crushed him and, although he was only at the early-stage True Mystic Rank, he wasn¡¯t far off from the level of the five Overwhelming Prodigies during the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Prince Jin and Tian Yunzhi weren¡¯t surprised.


    ¡°We¡¯ve lost to this brat for the last half a year.¡±


    Prince Jin said unhappily and Zhao Feng understood.


    Before Zhao Feng had returned, Wang Xiaoguai was the number one genius.


    After that, Prince Jin and Tian Yunzhi displayed a spectacular battle.


    After dozens of moves, Tian Yunzhi¡¯s ¡°Tian¡± and ¡°Yun¡± fusion-bloodline was unleashed and his blade-intent defeated Prince Jin.


    ¡°Tian Yunzhi, I didn¡¯t think you would¡¯ve improved so much as well.¡±


    Prince Jin was slightly bitter. He was once the number one genius and, just a couple months ago, the two were on par, but now Tian Yunzhi had the advantage.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Tian Yunzhi had potential. He had a bloodline, he had comprehended blade-intent, and his battle-power was among the top for those under the True Lord Rank.


    After Tian Yunzhi won, his battle-intent surged and he challenged Wang Xiaoguai.


    Wang Xiaoguai laughed. He created cracks on the ground with every fist.


    There wasn¡¯t much skill, just absolute power.


    Ten moves later.


    Dang!!


    Tian Yunzhi was sent flying with his sword.


    Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s body was too strong; he could defeat most True Mystic Ranks with his body alone. Once he used his bloodline power, his offense and defense would rise dramatically, breaking through the gap in cultivation.


    ¡°Wooooo¡­!¡±


    Wang Xiaoguai hit his fists against his chest as he released a domineering aura, causing the nearby experts of the Iron Blood Religion to look over in shock.


    He was probably unparalleled under the True Lord Rank.


    In terms of defense, he wasn¡¯t any weaker than Shi Chengtian from back then, but his offense was better.


    Wang Xiaoguai beat all the contestants.


    ¡°Ok, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng summarized the pros and cons of their battles and got ready to leave.


    Tian Yunzhi and Prince Jin both gained some comprehension after the evaluation.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I still haven¡¯t fought you yet.¡±


    Wang Xiaoguai said as he blocked Zhao Feng.


    Everyone was stunned.


    ¡°Wang Xiaoguai, you dare to challenge the Deputy Patriarch? Even True Lord Ranks aren¡¯t his match.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng shook his head and smiled.


    He obviously wouldn¡¯t give up a chance to mock Wang Xiaoguai, and many of the spectators laughed.


    They knew Zhao Feng¡¯s name. He had defeated several True Lord Ranks and he had even slain the Qin Sword Palace Master.


    Although Wang Xiaoguai was strong, he definitely wasn¡¯t Zhao Feng¡¯s match.


    Of course, Prince Jin, Tian Yunzhi, and company were slightly expectant. Maybe Wang Xiaoguai could test out Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.


    However, this would only result in their disappointment.


    ¡°Start.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and didn¡¯t decline.


    _Sky Ape Divine Luo!_


    Wang Xiaoguai immediately used his bloodline power without hesitation and punched out, causing the ground to shake.


    Even normal True Lord Ranks would feel some pressure due to the difference in physical strength.


    Booom!


    A wide chasm appeared, extending a hundred years long, due to Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s fist.


    The eyes of the spectators blurred. When they found Zhao Feng again, the battle was already over.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    Wang Xiaoguai had been lifted into the air and he was swinging his arms around wildly.


    He wanted to break out, but a layer of lightning was restricting him, causing him to scream.


    Those watching were surprised. Tian Yunzhi and Prince Jin looked at each other with shock.


    It was obvious Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had reached a level where they couldn¡¯t even detect it.


    ¡°Ok, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng let go of Wang Xiaoguai¡¯s feet mid-air.


    Plop!


    Wang Xiaoguai fell down, creating a man-shaped hole in the ground.


    Although normal True Spirit Realms would probably start bleeding from such a thing, no one was worried about him.


    On the same day, a total of six True Dragon geniuses left together from the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion.


    The group all had rare flying beasts that flew with extreme speed toward the Middle Continent.


    They had all made major improvements, so they weren¡¯t scared of any dangers on the journey.


    Furthermore, they had Zhao Feng. None of them had anything to worry about.


    Two months later, the group of six finally arrived at the Middle Continent.


    Zhao Feng calculated that the distance between the Cloud area and the Canopy Great Country was not much greater than the distance between the Canopy Great Country and the Middle Continent.


    This was because the Middle Continent was close to every other part of the continent, thus it was the best spot to hold the Tea Party.


    ¡°I heard that the Middle Continent is the strongest and has the most geniuses. For example, the Three Eyed Saint and Yu Tianhao both come from the Middle Continent.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng said.


    Although they had all participated in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, they hadn¡¯t been to the Middle Continent much.


    ¡°We¡¯ll arrive after crossing another three or four strong countries.¡±


    Prince Jin took out the map and the six soon flashed through the sky.


    Shua! Shua!


    Two blurry dark figures appeared in a grim forest several hundred miles away.


    One was a female in black while the other was a tall figure wearing a black crown.


    ¡°Elder, they¡¯re just a few brats, and the strongest one is only at the early-stage True Lord Rank. Why do you need to pursue them personally? I can go and capture them or kill them right now.¡±


    The female in black said respectfully.


    ¡°These brats have the aura of a Scarlet Moon Division Leader Token and seem to have just arrived in the Middle Continent. The Sacred Alliance has used these tokens before to ambush our experts. Don¡¯t make any rash moves¡­.¡±

 508 Golden Sun Sacred City

    In the air above a stream in the northern part of the Middle Continent, the six from the Canopy Great Country were seated on their flying steeds as they headed toward their destination.


    Zhao Feng was quietly cultivating most of the time. Ever since he returned from the Purple Saint Ruins, he had been comprehending the inheritances of the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet and the Ice Imperial Spear.


    The former was his cultivation technique while the latter helped his bloodline power.


    Zhao Feng mainly focused on the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet because it was more complete.


    Not many inheritances could compare to the speed of the Wind Lightning Emperor.


    The Ice Imperial Spear¡¯s information was blurry and incomplete, so he mainly focused on how to use this Earth-Grade weapon.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s power of wind and lightning had a faint purple aura that replaced about one-twentieth of the azure color.


    Even with such a small amount, Zhao Feng was overjoyed, because it meant that he was heading toward the next level ¨C the purple-colored wind and lightning.


    ¡°According to the information within the inheritance, the purple color contains an intent of destruction, causing the damage output to rise to an entirely new level. Anyone injured by it will find it hard to recover.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that the strength in every level could differ by several dozen-fold.


    Right at this moment, a voice sounded in his mind through the Dark Heart Seed, ¡°Master, we can find more resources after entering the Middle Continent. I¡¯ve finished refining three True Lord Rank ghost-corpses.¡±


    Truthfully, the Tea Party was only one of the reasons Zhao Feng came to the Middle Continent.


    The Middle Continent had more resources that could help his cultivation and with his Hundred Corpse plan.


    If Zhao Feng¡¯s strength could go one step further, and if his Hundred Corpse plan was completed on top of that, there wouldn¡¯t be any force that wouldn¡¯t fear him.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice suddenly turned cold as it sounded in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart through the Dark Heart Seed.


    The skeletal Division Leader hiccupped. It felt a dangerous sensation in its soul.


    Zhao Feng only needed one thought to kill it.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡­¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body froze in fear.


    The skeletal Division Leader and Zhao Feng¡¯s soul power and comprehension of the Dao of the Soul weren¡¯t much different, but Zhao Feng had planted the Dark Heart Seed in the depths of the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s soul, making it so that the latter couldn¡¯t resist.


    ¡°We seem to have been tracked by someone, and it might be related to a certain aura coming from you.¡±


    Zhao Feng said emotionlessly.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye started to inspect the skeletal Division Leader within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    The auras on the skeletal Division Leader were too complex so Zhao Feng didn¡¯t pay much attention to them before, but after entering the Middle Continent, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye sensed something dangerous.


    Hearing this, the skeletal Division Leader was silent while the flames in its eyes jumped.


    ¡°You can choose to not answer; I don¡¯t mind giving up a disloyal slave.¡±


    Zhao Feng said casually.


    Although the skeletal Division Leader was extremely useful and could recover back to the Origin Core Realm in a year or two, Zhao Feng would choose his own life over it.


    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s the Scarlet Moon Division Leader Token.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader held out a transparent blood-scarlet token.


    The token seemed to have no weight, defying the laws of physics as it floated in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed unique.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a concealed aura from the token that was connected with the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s aura. If he didn¡¯t pay attention, he couldn¡¯t sense it.


    The skeletal Division Leader sighed, ¡°Your senses are stronger than what I imagined. This Scarlet Moon Division Leader Token was crafted using my aura and some special materials from the outside world. Anyone that can sense it is at least at the level of a Division Leader¡­.¡±


    _Scarlet Moon Division Leader Token._


    Zhao Feng took a cold breath as he listened. This meant that the person tracking him was a Division Leader, or perhaps even stronger.


    The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch himself could be nearby and could have sensed the existence of the Scarlet Moon Division Leader Token.


    Of course, Zhao Feng could exclude the Patriarch; if it was the Patriarch that had an eye on him, he would¡¯ve already attacked. There was nothing for the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch to be wary of.


    This meant that the person who had locked on to him wouldn¡¯t be much stronger than the skeletal Division Leader. At worst, it would just be a recovering Sovereign.


    ¡°But you¡¯re hiding in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl and separated from the outside. How can they sense anything?¡±


    Zhao Feng questioned.


    He didn¡¯t believe that the skeletal Division Leader could release its aura from inside the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl to the outside world.


    ¡°The Scarlet Moon Division Leader Token is part of me and, because I interact with you, the aura is on you too, and even the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl. Furthermore, the technique used to craft the token isn¡¯t even from the Azure Flower Continent. It¡¯s actually from the Scarlet Moon Inheritance. It also has many other abilities. For example, it can send messages within a certain distance, and if you kill me, the token¡¯s aura will land on you. The experts of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion will then come to kill you.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader explained.


    After hearing this, Zhao Feng was more surprised about how big the world was.


    ¡°Of course, if you don¡¯t believe me, you can destroy the token or throw it away.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said.


    Zhao Feng was expressionless as he started to think.


    He couldn¡¯t fully understand the Scarlet Moon Division Leader Token at the moment.


    ¡°If I destroy the token, it¡¯ll only cause them to be suspicious and they might even attack right away. If I throw it away, who knows what kind of signs the skeletal Division Leader might leave on it¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts churned, and he soon had a courageous plan.


    ¡°Put the token away for now.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered.


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. Zhao Feng knew that the token might be extremely dangerous, but he didn¡¯t panic and destroy it.


    It didn¡¯t know what Zhao Feng was planning, but it did what was told. After all, its life was in Zhao Feng¡¯s hands.


    ¡°At least I have a killing move up my sleeve. Let¡¯s play with them for the time being then¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly closed his eyes and ignored the dangerous aura coming from behind.


    The other five True Dragon geniuses laughed and joked during the journey, not knowing the danger they were in.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. In this period of time, the group indeed felt that the Middle Continent was more advanced than the Northern Continent.


    On this day, the flying steed they sat on passed by a stream, and a shining golden castle appeared in their sight.


    The metallic golden castle glowed faintly and could be seen from several thousand miles away.


    ¡°Golden Sun Sacred City!¡±


    ¡°This is where the Tea Party is being held.¡±


    ¡°The Golden Sun Sacred City was apparently created from unique materials of the outside world and was made by the legendary Three Eyed Sky Emperor. It has at least several thousand years of history.¡±


    Everyone started to inspect the city closely. Zhao Feng had heard Tiemo talk about the Golden Sun Sacred City before.


    The owner of this city had the strongest eye-bloodline on the continent ¨C the Golden Sun Family.


    This meant that the Three Eyed Saint was hosting the Tea Party on home-ground.


    He won the last two Sacred True Dragon Gatherings, and the Golden Sun Family was a family below only the Ten Major Forces of the continent. No one doubted whether they had the right to hold the Tea Party.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng found that the dangerous aura started to fade after getting closer to Golden Sun Sacred City.


    It seemed the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion expert was wary of Golden Sun Sacred City.


    ¡°The Golden Sun Family!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl was full of hatred, but it was also full of wariness and respect.


    Zhao Feng was surprised. Even someone as strong as the skeletal Division Leader seemed to fear the Golden Sun Family.


    _Did the skeletal Division Leader lose to the Golden Sun Family at some point?_


    As the flying beast approached Golden Sun Sacred City.


    Shua! Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Zhao Feng and company flew through the air and descended to Golden Sun Sacred City.


    Golden Sun Sacred City was technically a large castle that belonged to a family.


    As soon as Zhao Feng and company approached, they caught the attention of the guarding experts.


    ¡°All six of them are extremely young and at the True Spirit Realm. One of them is even a True Lord Rank!¡±


    Their group was enough to create a disturbance even in this place.


    ¡°Send the order that Overwhelming Prodigy Zhao Feng has arrived in Golden Sun Sacred City.¡±


    ¡°Overwhelming Prodigy Zhao Feng has arrived!¡±


    One voice after another sounded across the castle.


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng had been easily recognized.


    As the Golden Sun Family was hosting the Tea Party, they made preparations.


    In just a couple breaths, the Golden Sun Family broke into chaos. This was especially so for the younger generation.


    As soon as Zhao Feng and company arrived, they were inspected by countless gazes.


    Although Prince Jin, Wang Xiaoguai, and company felt slightly scared, there was also a feeling of excitement and pride.


    The feeling of being admired and respected by a top-tier family was indescribable.


    ¡°He¡¯s Zhao Feng? A Lord Prodigy? Even our Saint didn¡¯t get that title back then.¡±


    Most of the gazes within the castle were of admiration and respect.


    After all, it wasn¡¯t easy to find such a young True Lord Rank within the continent.


    ¡°Hmph! This Zhao Feng¡¯s arrogant enough. His eye-bloodline swept across the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, but now he¡¯s entered the territory of the strongest eye-bloodline.¡±


    Of course, there were a small number of disdainful gazes.


    Zhao Feng casually floated into the castle, not bothering with the Golden Sun Family¡¯s inspection.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng!¡±


    Cries came from the younger generation of the Golden Sun family.

 509 Three Eyed Sain

    ¡°Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng!¡±


    The entirety of Golden Sun City broke into discussion.


    An Overwhelming Prodigy would definitely be a protagonist at the Tea Party.


    Furthermore, this newcomer was the youngest out of the five Overwhelming Prodigies.


    Although there were another couple Overwhelming Prodigies present, their fame was still a bit off compared to Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    ¡°This is¡­ the strongest True Dragon genius present.¡±


    Everyone in Golden Sun Sacred City was shouting and boiling with excitement.


    Within the city, on top of a metallic tower, there were several figures that gazed at Zhao Feng and company from afar.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, Jinyang Shengtian, it seems that this Zhao Feng¡¯s welcoming within your home is even bigger than your own. And you even talked to the Three Saints Palace about how everyone crowned you the leader of the younger generation¡­.¡±


    A thick-eyebrowed youth mocked.


    The figures present all turned toward a golden-haired youth. This golden-haired youth had a cold expression and an air of arrogance, as well as a closed third eye on his forehead.


    He was the Three Eyed Saint.


    ¡°Hmph! You¡¯re from the outside world. Don¡¯t interfere in the Tea Party. Just get ready to watch a show.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint warned the thick-eyebrowed youth.


    ¡°Brother Jinyang, you haven¡¯t appeared around the continent for more than ten years. It¡¯s normal for these people to forget your name.¡±


    A clear voice sounded from an icy beauty nearby. Her skin was as perfect as ice and she radiated an aura that seemed to freeze the air.


    However, her gaze contained warmth and admiration as she looked toward the Three Eyed Saint.


    It was rare to see Goddess Bing Wei have such an expression.


    ¡°Sister Bing Wei, you think too much.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint took back his gaze and smiled, ¡°This Zhao Feng isn¡¯t my true opponent. His strength originates from his eye-bloodline, so the result has already been decided. I only have one true opponent in the entire Azure Flower Continent, and that¡¯s Yu Tianhao.¡±


    Puzzlement flashed through Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes after she heard this. Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao¡¯s performances weren¡¯t much different.


    It seemed biased that the Three Eyed Saint thought of Yu Tianhao as an opponent but not Zhao Feng.


    Goddess Bing Wei had personally witnessed Zhao Feng¡¯s power and his ability to create miracles.


    She was worried that the Three Eyed Saint would underestimate Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Amongst all the families on the continent, only the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline is comparable to my Sacred Eye bloodline.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint had expectation in his eyes as he remembered the former glory of his family.


    _Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline?_


    Even the thick-eyebrowed youth was interested.


    ¡°Why have I never heard of such a bloodline?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei asked.


    ¡°Because the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline isn¡¯t a normal bloodline, it has exceeded the boundaries of a normal bloodline. To be precise, it¡¯s more of an intent ¨C it¡¯s the king of battles. Once one appears, they won¡¯t find a match in the same era. However, the chance of this bloodline appearing is very, very low. And even then, it would usually just be the normal Heaven Battling bloodline¡­.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint sighed.


    Hearing this, everyone understood.


    In terms of bloodlines, only the continent¡¯s Yu family had a chance of surpassing the Golden Sun family.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao has that bloodline?¡±


    ¡°At least he has the signs of it, but no matter what, he¡¯s an opponent that I will certainly defeat. What the Golden Sun family hasn¡¯t been able to do for several generations shall be done by me.¡±


    Battle-intent surged in the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eyes.


    Hearing this, Goddess Bing Wei started to think.


    She had heard of the enmity between the Golden Sun family and the Yu family.


    The Golden Sun family and the Yu family were the two strongest families in the continent, and they had been at each other¡¯s throats for over a thousand years.


    The Yu family usually had the upper hand, especially in the last couple hundred years.


    For example, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s father was utterly crushed by Sovereign Yu Xingchen.


    After all, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s father¡¯s generation had an impure Sacred Eye bloodline, so they didn¡¯t have any Sovereigns.


    However, the Three Eyed Saint was different. His eye-bloodline was the purest directly after the Three Eyed Sky Emperor. This conflict was why the Three Eyed Saint viewed Yu Tianhao as a true opponent even though he thought that Yu Tianhao wouldn¡¯t be a challenge.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng!¡±


    The shouts from within the castle started to calm down and the Golden Sun family had already sent people to greet Zhao Feng and company.


    There were dozens of True Dragon geniuses present, including many geniuses from across the Middle Continent.


    The True Dragon geniuses were given esteemed guest rooms.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re finally here.¡±


    A couple True Dragon geniuses and even some Overwhelming Prodigies came to greet Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng looked over and saw that Shi Chengtian and Tantan Lanyue had already arrived.


    He also already saw Goddess Bing Wei when he entered the city.


    Apart from them, the top-tier geniuses like Mo Tianyi, Cang Yuyue, and company, were all here.


    As of right now, only Yu Tianhao of the five Overwhelming Prodigies wasn¡¯t here.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned over the place and didn¡¯t find any sign of Xin Wuheng, causing him to feel slightly regretful.


    Apparently, Xin Wuheng hadn¡¯t returned after entering the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t interested anymore, as the two he was most looking forward to meeting were Xin Wuheng and Yu Tianhao.


    Shi Chengtian was extremely warm toward Zhao Feng and kept on thanking him. During the second stage of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, the two had fought, and Zhao Feng had even saved the latter.


    Time passed. In the blink of an eye, almost ten days had gone by.


    The original start-date arrived but the Tea Party didn¡¯t begin.


    Zhao Feng was in seclusion and wasn¡¯t paying attention to that, but all of the different continents¡¯ geniuses were already in discussion.


    In the esteemed guest rooms of the Golden Sun family.


    ¡°Goddess Bing Wei, when is the Tea Party going to start?¡±


    The crowd asked.


    Goddess Bing Wei had appeared in the esteemed guest rooms.


    ¡°Considering that Yu Tianhao and a couple other True Dragon geniuses haven¡¯t arrived yet, the Tea Party will be postponed for a few days.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei had an apologetic expression. After all, there were several Overwhelming Prodigies present that were on the same level as her.


    ¡°Oh well, we¡¯ll wait another couple days for Yu Tianhao then. It¡¯ll be far less interesting without such a strong opponent.¡±


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s voice hummed.


    He and Tantan Lanyue looked at each other and didn¡¯t protest.


    Yu Tianhao had always been the leader of the Overwhelming Prodigies, and the others had already been waiting a while to challenge him. A couple more days didn¡¯t matter.


    Furthermore, the other True Dragon geniuses were confident in their improvements after returning from the inheritances.


    Like this, they waited another three or four days for Yu Tianhao, but he never showed up.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao came last time, why isn¡¯t he coming this time?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s weird, I haven¡¯t heard of Yu Tianhao showing up at all in the last half a year.¡±


    The True Dragon geniuses discussed.


    After delaying ten more days, the True Dragon geniuses were getting impatient. Some were even getting ready to leave.


    ¡°Deputy Patriarch, the Tea Party keeps getting postponed. Are we still going to wait?¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng asked.


    Zhao Feng spoke, ¡°The Tea Party is just a small gathering. We¡¯ll wait for another three days. If it¡¯s still not going to start, then we¡¯ll go back to the Canopy Great Country.¡±


    Being the only one that was comparable to Yu Tianhao, Zhao Feng¡¯s words were very powerful.


    His words were soon supported by many others.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, if the Tea Party isn¡¯t held within three days¡¯ time, we¡¯ll leave.¡±


    Shi Chengtian was the first to agree, and Tantan Lanyue, Mo Tianyi, and company all supported it as well.


    Under this situation, Goddess Bing Wei and the Three Eyed Saint couldn¡¯t sit still anymore.


    The Three Eyed Saint had to come out personally to appease the True Dragon geniuses.


    ¡°Can everyone give me some face and wait for ten more days?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint stood with his hands behind his back as his hair shone in the light.


    The third eye on his forehead twitched and gave off a mysterious aura that made the bloodlines of many geniuses tremble.


    After all, he was the winner of two Sacred True Dragon Gatherings, and he was of the elder generation.


    Many people were wary and respectful of his strength and name.


    ¡°Fine, ten more days.¡±


    Shi Chengtian, Tantan Lanyue, and company couldn¡¯t directly refuse the Three Eyed Saint, so they agreed.


    Zhao Feng stood in the crowd expressionlessly.


    ¡°Great!¡±


    A smile appeared on the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s face as he scanned over the crowd with arrogance.


    He didn¡¯t put any of them in his eyes ¨C including the Overwhelming Prodigies.


    After all, he was older than them and he had cultivated in the Three Saints Palace for more than a dozen years. His knowledge of the world exceeded the basic knowledge of the continent.


    However, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as his gaze landed on a blue-haired youth.


    The five Overwhelming Prodigies were the leaders. Shi Chengtian and Tantan Lanyue had both reacted. Only Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any reaction.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you don¡¯t have anything to say right?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint squinted his eyes.


    His cultivation had reached the late-stage True Lord Rank and his Sacred Eye bloodline had awakened to the third stage. He was almost unparalleled under the Origin Core Realm.


    The Three Eyed Saint released a tiny bit of his aura, which was already enough to make even Overwhelming Prodigies uneasy.


    ¡°You¡¯re the host of the Tea Party, of course I have no complaints.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    Although the Three Eyed Saint was dissatisfied with Zhao Feng¡¯s attitude, the latter wasn¡¯t opposing him, which made him let out a breath.


    ¡°But¡­ I¡¯ve already decided to return to the Northern Continent after three days. Even if the Tea Party hasn¡¯t started by then, I¡¯ll still want to witness the continent¡¯s strongest eye bloodline. I hope Three Eyed Saint won¡¯t reject me.¡±

 510 A Step Back, Forbidden Eye Stealing Technique

    ¡°Even if the Tea Party hasn¡¯t started by then, I¡¯ll still want to witness the continent¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline. I hope Three Eyed Saint won¡¯t reject me.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s words suddenly took a turn as he looked directly at the host without any expression.


    Hearing this, the hearts of the present True Dragon geniuses thudded. Many looked toward the blue-haired youth in shock.


    No one would have thought that Zhao Feng would go against the Three Eyed Saint and then ask for a spar.


    The atmosphere instantly became tense.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡­ isn¡¯t giving the Three Eyed Saint any face at all.¡±


    ¡°What courage! Directly challenging the winner of two Sacred True Dragon Gatherings.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s already over fifty years old. When he participated in his first Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t even born yet.¡±


    The geniuses¡¯ expressions were filled with expectation and excitement. Although most of them didn¡¯t think Zhao Feng¡¯s odds looked good, they had to admit that if anyone would be able to challenge the Three Eyed Saint, it would be Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, looks like you¡¯re not giving me any face.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s expression dimmed.


    The third eye that was closed suddenly revealed a crack, radiating a dominant and powerful bloodline aura.


    The True Dragon geniuses felt a pressure as their hearts twitched.


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s Sacred Eye bloodline had only opened a tiny bit and the terrifying aura was already enough to make other bloodlines tremble uneasily.


    ¡°So, this is the continent¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline¡­.¡±


    Even the Overwhelming Prodigies felt that breathing was hard.


    Shi Chengtian and Tantan Lanyue were shocked while Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s face was filled with joy.


    ¡°This Three Eyed Saint¡¯s Sacred Eye bloodline has awakened to the third stage¡­.¡±


    Tuoba Qi and the ghost-eyed man, the successors of the other two eye-bloodline families, circulated their eye-bloodlines to oppose this pressure.


    However, in front of the continent¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline, both Tuoba Qi and the ghost-eyed man felt helpless.


    The third eye¡¯s aura wasn¡¯t focused on any one person, it simply filled the entire area.


    He seemed to have the power to crush all the True Dragon geniuses by himself.


    However, there was one person that wasn¡¯t moved.


    ¡°Give you face? I will if you beat me.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face went cold.


    In front of the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eye-bloodline, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly turned a bone-chilling blue, and the lake within his left eye¡¯s dimension had extended to seventeen or eighteen yards.


    The lake was full of chaotic waves, which represented Zhao Feng¡¯s soul power that was almost comparable to a Sovereign.


    Peng~~~~


    Two auras clashed in the air. A blue aura could be seen resisting a golden ball.


    The fiery gold and the ice-cold blue clashed, pressuring the True Dragon geniuses even more.


    ¡°What powerful eye-bloodline strength!¡±


    Tuoba Qi and the ghost-eyed man were stunned. Their eye-bloodline strength was nothing compared to Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint. They couldn¡¯t even raise their heads.


    The gold represented the Three Eyed Saint and the blue represented Zhao Feng.


    After several breaths.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s eye-bloodline power doesn¡¯t seem to be weaker than mine.¡±


    The third eye on the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s forehead started to open some more. It seemed like a hole that could cause destruction anywhere.


    Although his eye-bloodline power kept on rising, he still couldn¡¯t suppress Zhao Feng.


    At this moment in time, all the experts within Golden Sun Sacred City were shocked.


    The clash between Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint was too terrifying. Those with eye-bloodlines felt this sensation even stronger.


    On top of the city wall of Golden Sun Sacred City.


    ¡°There¡¯s such a powerful bloodline outside of the three families?¡±


    A middle-aged man in golden robes was standing tall with his hands behind his back. He looked into the distance as shock passed through his eyes.


    The middle-aged man¡¯s appearance was similar to the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s, and he had a third eye on his forehead.


    He was the current Head of the family ¨C the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s father.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s much younger than Shengtian and his eye-bloodline¡¯s potential is immeasurable. Furthermore, his left eye seems extremely unique, almost as if he wasn¡¯t born with it.¡±


    A sigh sounded next to his ear.


    The Head of the Golden Sun family turned around. An elder wearing a grass hat had appeared next to him.


    ¡°First Elder!¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family bowed and then asked with a puzzled look, ¡°Not born with it¡­? Could it be stolen, or perhaps some kind of mutation?¡±


    ¡°A normal human who didn¡¯t already have an eye-bloodline couldn¡¯t have reached this level so quickly if it was a mutation.¡±


    The elder in the grass hat shook his head.


    The Head of the Golden Sun family agreed.


    No matter how much the eye of a mortal mutated, it couldn¡¯t become so terrifying so quickly.


    However, if it was someone who already had an eye-bloodline, then the possibility was high.


    The problem was that Zhao Feng¡¯s right eye was perfectly normal, so his eye-bloodline was most likely acquired later in life.


    ¡°Could it be¡­ the Eye-Stealing Technique!?¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family exclaimed.


    ¡°The Eye-Stealing Technique is cruel and forbidden. Not to mention, how would a mortal be able to steal such a powerful eye-bloodline?¡±


    The grass hat elder rejected this proposal.


    At the same time, at the esteemed guest rooms of the Golden Sun family, Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s clash had lasted several breaths and the victor still couldn¡¯t be decided.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline is already strong enough to counter the Three Eyed Saint?¡±


    This scene made the hearts of many geniuses unable to calm down.


    After all, the Three Eyed Saint was much older than Zhao Feng. They couldn¡¯t even be considered as part of the same generation.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, no wonder you have such courage. However, the strength of an eye-bloodline isn¡¯t determined by just this¡­.¡±


    The third eye on the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s forehead started to open wider. A transparent beam of gold light seemed to form, creating a pressure for both the body and soul.


    ¡°This Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eye-bloodline seems to be able to attack both the soul and the physical world.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart tightened and felt heavy. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was based more toward the spiritual side whereas the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s was balanced toward both.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    A cold shout sounded across the air and a cold intent chilled the air.


    The True Dragon geniuses hiccupped as their blood seemed to freeze.


    Goddess Bing Wei appeared between Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint, creating an ice-snake that intertwined the two.


    The powerful icy aura seemed to freeze the air. Even Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eye-bloodline clash seemed to be frozen.


    ¡°This Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s reached the True Lord Rank, and her control of ice has reached another level.¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power to stop the coldness within his body. He had to stop the clash with the Three Eyed Saint.


    Although it seemed as if Goddess Bing Wei was stopping the battle, her cold aura was actually aiming more toward Zhao Feng.


    If Zhao Feng was to continue fighting, he would most likely be attacked by both the Three Eyed Saint and Goddess Bing Wei.


    ¡°Sister Wei, what are you doing?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as he looked toward Goddess Bing Wei, puzzled.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline power wasn¡¯t weaker than his, the Three Eyed Saint was confident in his abilities, and not just because of his Sacred Eye bloodline¡¯s unique ability.


    It was also because he came from the strongest eye-bloodline family on the continent, and they had the best set of techniques. How could someone who only just obtained an eye-bloodline be compared to him?


    ¡°Brother Jinyang, we¡¯re the hosts, and if we start fighting before we even start the Tea Party, we¡¯ll lose face.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei looked apologetically toward the Three Eyed Saint as she explained to the group.


    The people present all agreed. Zhao Feng still hadn¡¯t actually decided if he wanted to participate in the Tea Party or not.


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s provocative actions had the signs of ¡°bullying.¡±


    If Zhao Feng was a normal person, he would¡¯ve already been humiliated by the Three Eyed Saint.


    ¡°Sister Wei is right. As the host, I shouldn¡¯t make any moves before the Tea Party starts or else it¡¯ll seem like I¡¯m a bully.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint said.


    Zhao Feng stood still but glanced toward Goddess Bing Wei.


    Goddess Bing Wei had thought things through.


    If the Three Eyed Saint won right now, there would be discussions of him being a bully, and if he lost then what face would he have to continue to host the Tea Party?


    The most important thing was that the clash between the Three Eyed Saint and Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t actually one-sided. Otherwise, Goddess Bing Wei would have loved to see the Three Eyed Saint humiliate Zhao Feng.


    ¡°As Zhao Feng says, we¡¯ll host the Tea Party three days later.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei smiled.


    Hearing this, many people were surprised.


    They thought that the Tea Party would be delayed another ten days, but because of Zhao Feng¡¯s words, it changed to three days.


    They were giving Zhao Feng a lot of face.


    On the city wall far away.


    ¡°Bing Wei¡¯s indeed put her heart and mind into this. By changing the starting time to three days, she¡¯s giving Sheng¡¯er time to prepare. He¡¯ll have a lot of chances to detect Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength.¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family had a relieved look.


    After all, the battle between Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint concerned the title of the strongest eye-bloodline on the continent.

 511 Tea Party Challenges

    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s step back dissolved the anger in the hearts of the True Dragon geniuses, and her suggestion was supported.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, what do you think?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei seemed to have forgotten the history between herself and Zhao Feng as she asked.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s plan but couldn¡¯t stop it.


    After the crowd dissipated, the Three Eyed Saint and Goddess Bing Wei walked together shoulder-to-shoulder.


    ¡°Sister Wei, sorry.¡±


    Emotions appeared on the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s face even though he thought that Goddess Bing Wei was overreacting.


    Although he didn¡¯t put Zhao Feng in his eyes, he was grateful for what the woman he loved had done for him.


    ¡°Brother Sheng, you need to prepare well for this battle and take revenge for me.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei thought about how she had been suppressed and humiliated by Zhao Feng in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and couldn¡¯t control herself.


    She needed to plan how to humiliate Zhao Feng carefully. There was no room for failure.


    In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. In these past three days, the Three Eyed Saint humbly asked the Head of the Golden Sun family and First Elder for advice.


    After all, some of Zhao Feng¡¯s eye aura had been released when they clashed.


    At night, on a field close to Golden Sun Sacred City.


    What made Zhao Feng disappointed was that Xin Wuheng and Yu TIanhao still didn¡¯t come.


    Xin Wuheng might¡¯ve died in the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance while Yu Tianhao hasn¡¯t appeared much in the past half-year.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hold much hope.


    The Tea Party was similar to the Genius Summit of Sun Feather City. The only difference was that the participants were True Dragon geniuses that stood at the top of the continent.


    The True Dragon geniuses were split into different groups, and Zhao Feng obviously represented the Canopy Great Country and the Northern Continent.


    All the people near him were from the Northern Continent. Not counting those from the Canopy Great Country, there was also Mo Tianyi, Cang Yuyue, Princess Linyue, etc.


    Shi Chengtian and Tantan Lanyue sat on different sides.


    The Tea Party started with discussions as everyone talked about techniques and some of their inheritances.


    Zhao Feng listened with interest.


    The Three Eyed Saint was obviously one of the main characters. He had been in the outside world for the last ten or more years and he was extremely knowledgeable.


    No matter what these geniuses asked, the Three Eyed Saint would be able to answer it.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but slightly admire the Three Eyed Saint. His knowledge and strength easily surpassed the juniors.


    From a certain point of view, he wasn¡¯t someone of the younger generation anymore but someone who had just progressed to the older generation.


    Displays and sparring soon started. All of the people present were True Dragon geniuses ¨C elites that had survived the inheritances and had their sights set on the Overwhelming Prodigies.


    Several challenges ended in failure, but the next challenger was someone strong.


    ¡°Tantan Lanyue, let me see how big of an improvement you¡¯ve made.¡±


    Mo Tianyi steadily walked onto the open field.


    His cultivation had reached the peak True Mystic Rank after entering the inheritance, and both his skills and strength were greater than the Overwhelming Prodigies from a year ago.


    On the other hand, Tantan Lanyue was still at the half-step True Lord Rank. Amongst the five Overwhelming Prodigies, her cultivation always lagged behind since she was a beast tamer.


    ¡°Hehehe, come. I¡¯m not scared of any challenge.¡±


    Tantan Lanyue wore a bright-colored dress that went down to her knees and she was as pretty as a dream.


    Boom!


    With a wave of her hand, Tantan Lanyue summoned the Horned Earth Dragon.


    After the inheritance, the Earth Dragon had reached the True Lord Rank, and its body and power far exceeded humans of the same level.


    Mo Tianyi smiled and wasn¡¯t scared. He thrust out his palms, creating walls of yellow light that crushed toward Tantan Lanyue.


    In terms of battle-power, Mo Tianyi wasn¡¯t far off from the True Lord Rank. However, being a beast tamer, Tantan Lanyue didn¡¯t specialize in close combat.


    However, the Horned Earth Dragon was also much stronger than before and it could shake mountains with every step.


    Even normal True Lord Ranks wouldn¡¯t want to clash head-on with the Horned Earth Dragon, but Mo Tianyi obviously had something to rely on if he had the courage to challenge Tantan Lanyue.


    Shua! Shua!


    Mo Tianyi¡¯s figure flashed through the air, leaving blurry after-images on the Horned Earth Dragon¡¯s body.


    ¡°After coming back from the inheritance, Mo Tianyi¡¯s overall strength has risen greatly. Offense, defense, speed¡­ there¡¯s no obvious flaw.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    After landing on the Horned Earth Dragon¡¯s back, Mo Tianyi used his agility to his advantage and started to lock on to Tantan Lanyue.


    Being a beast tamer, Tantan Lanyue wasn¡¯t specialized in close combat, so even though her cultivation was a bit higher, she had signs of retreating.


    Everyone couldn¡¯t help but think about whether the positions of the five Overwhelming Prodigies would change.


    After the ending of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, the five Overwhelming Prodigies¡¯ cultivations had all risen.


    Yu Tianhao, Zhao Feng, Shi Chengtian, and Goddess Bing Wei had all reached the True Lord Rank. Yu Tianhao had already reached the early-stage True Lord Rank right when he came out.


    Compared to them, Tantan Lanyue was slightly weaker, as she hadn¡¯t reached the True Lord Rank yet.


    ¡°Yuan Mountain Great Secret Palm!¡±


    A silver ripple suddenly appeared on Mo Tianyi¡¯s palm, and it had a restraining effect.


    Tantan Lanyue wanted to evade, but she suddenly felt as if her body had been restricted by gravity. In this critical moment, she smiled, ¡°Ice Glass Snake.¡±


    Shua!


    She waved her hand and a small ice crystal snake shot out from her palm. It spat out a cold current that instantly broke through Mo Tianyi¡¯s skill.


    Siiiii!


    Mo Tianyi was just about to move when he felt something entangle itself onto him and a layer of ice started to spread across his body.


    The small snake was extremely agile; no one saw how it managed to wrap itself around Mo Tianyi¡¯s arm.


    A breath or two later.


    Plop!


    Mo Tianyi became a block of ice and was slammed to the ground by the Horned Earth Dragon.


    ¡°Hehe, you really think I would only have one True Lord Rank pet after coming back from the inheritance?¡±


    Tantan Lanyue waved her hand and the ice snake disappeared into her bracelet.


    Waves surged in the hearts of the True Dragon geniuses.


    Simply put, Tantan Lanyue¡¯s battle-power was comparable to two True Lord Ranks.


    The Horned Earth Dragon was the size of a mountain and was useful for head-on battles. However, it¡¯s weakness was also obvious. It was slow and easily countered by those who specialized in speed.


    However, Tantan Lanyue now possessed a mysterious Ice Glass Snake that could spit out freezing cold aura, and which specialized in close combat and ambushing.


    ¡°With the big and small True Lord Rank pets, Tantan Lanyue has no obvious weakness.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that Tantan Lanyue could form an army with her pets.


    Of course, that was nothing compared to Zhao Feng¡¯s Hundred Corpse plan.


    Zhao Feng now had a total of five True Lord Rank ghost-corpses: three that had been crafted and the two dark-silver ghost-corpses.


    Within half a day, the True Dragon geniuses had all challenged Shi Chengtian, Goddess Bing Wei, and Tantan Lanyue.


    Everyone¡¯s challenge ended in failure. The strength that Shi Chengtian and Goddess Bing Wei displayed was only greater than Tantan Lanyue¡¯s.


    Bam!


    Shi Chengtian¡¯s bloodline awakened one step further as he sent Wang Xiaoguai flying with one fist.


    ¡°Sky Ape Divine Luo!¡±


    Wang Xiaoguai roared unwillingly as he unleashed a barrage of insane attacks.


    Shi Chengtian laughed as he took the hits from Wang Xiaoguai head-on. The latter started to bleed from his own attacks, whereas Shi Chengtian wasn¡¯t injured at all.


    ¡°It¡¯s difficult for anyone not at the peak True Lord Rank to break Shi Chengtian¡¯s defense.¡±


    Zhao Feng had to admit that Shi Chengtian¡¯s strength and defense were the top among the present people.


    One had to know that Wang Xiaoguai was the number one genius in the Canopy Great Country, not counting Zhao Feng.


    Goddess Bing Wei also stunned the geniuses present as she easily defeated two or three people at the same level as Mo Tianyi. She seemed even stronger than Shi Chengtian and Tantan Lanyue.


    On a mountain far away, the Head of the Golden Sun family and the elder wearing the grass hat looked down at the battles below.


    ¡°When Sheng¡¯er was their age, he was only comparable to normal Overwhelming Prodigies, still a bit off Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao.¡±


    Solemnness appeared on the grass hat elder¡¯s face.


    ¡°But not every prodigy can mature¡­.¡±


    There was a coldness in the Golden Sun Family Head¡¯s smile.


    After half a day, none of the Overwhelming Prodigies had been defeated.


    Tantan Lanyue, Shi Chengtian, and Goddess Bing Wei all displayed strength that easily surpassed the other geniuses.


    However, one person broke this legend.


    It was Cang Yuyue.


    After coming back from the Seven Sword Inheritance and the battles in the Cloud area, Cang Yuyue¡¯s cultivation had reached the half-step True Lord Rank.


    She first challenged Tantan Lanyue. A dominant and bloodthirsty sword-intent seemed to pass through the void and pierce the hearts of the spectators.


    Fifty moves later, the Horned Earth Dragon¡¯s body was covered in injuries and had fainted.


    ¡°Seven Sword Inheritance¡­ your comprehension has already reached a level where you can suppress True Lord Ranks.¡±


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s face was pale and had several bloody marks.


    If Tantan Lanyue continued fighting, her pets would be in danger, so she had to admit defeat.


    _Cang Yuyue won!_


    After this fight, she then challenged Goddess Bing Wei and Shi Chengtian, but no victor was decided within a hundred moves.


    In reality, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that Shi Chengtian and Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s defenses were so strong, they would have most likely lost.


    Without a doubt though, Cang Yuyue had replaced Tantan Lanyue as an Overwhelming Prodigy.


    The spectators and the True Dragon geniuses had witnessed this miracle.


    However, while all the other three Overwhelming Prodigies had been challenged, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t been.


    No one challenged him. To be precise, no one dared to challenge him.

 512 Suppression 1

    Worry appeared in Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes as she looked at Zhao Feng who was in the center of the Northern Continent¡¯s area.


    The Tea Party was already in the middle stages and all the other Overwhelming Prodigies and the first-tier experts had sparred.


    Only Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t yet.


    None of the normal True Dragon geniuses or first-tier geniuses had challenged Zhao Feng.


    However, that was to be expected. After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was the highest; he had reached the early-stage True Lord Rank, whereas Goddess Bing Wei and Shi Chengtian were at the beginning-stage True Lord Rank and Cang Yuyue was at the half-step True Lord Rank.


    They weren¡¯t as fortuitous as Zhao Feng to reach the early-stage True Lord Rank straight away.


    ¡°Thinking back to how Zhao Feng could defeat True Mystic Rank Overwhelming Prodigies while he was only at the True Human Rank, now that he¡¯s at the True Lord Rank, his strength will be able to suppress everyone here¡­.¡±


    The gazes of the True Dragon geniuses landed on Zhao Feng with respect and admiration.


    However, their gazes soon left Zhao Feng without hesitation.


    ¡°Not only is Zhao Feng strong, his eye-bloodline is also terrifying. It almost wiped out everyone at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.¡±


    First-tier geniuses like Mo Tianyi, Qin Kunwun, and Tuoba Qi were filled with wariness.


    Those from the Northern Continent knew how terrifying Zhao Feng truly was.


    In the past half a year, he had slain several True Lord Ranks and become a Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion.


    If they challenged other Overwhelming Prodigies, they would at least have a slight chance of displaying a dazzling performance.


    However, if they were to challenge Zhao Feng, they might be instantly defeated.


    ¡°Brother Zhao has been sitting here for a while and no one has challenged him. He must be very bored. Does everyone agree that he¡¯s the number one genius amongst the True Dragons?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei rose and directed the head of her spear toward Zhao Feng.


    _Number one genius?_


    This was like a rock dropping into a pond and creating ripples.


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t defeated all the other Overwhelming Prodigies or Yu Tianhao. Why is he worthy of being first?¡±


    ¡°Number one genius? I¡¯d like to see how I fare against him.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, it¡¯ll be a great glory to spar with the number one genius.¡±


    Many gazes locked on to Zhao Feng and a smile appeared on Goddess Bing¡¯s face. Her plan had succeeded.


    With the title of ¡°number one genius,¡± Zhao Feng was the center of attention.


    ¡°This one named Huang Tiankui would like to challenge the ¡®number one genius,¡¯ and see if he¡¯s worthy of the title.¡±


    A True Mystic Rank True Dragon genius flashed onto the empty field.


    Finally, there was someone who challenged Zhao Feng.


    Several True Dragon geniuses let out a long breath as the pressure that had been building up was finally released.


    This Huang Tiankui wore an azure battle-robe and held a tattered golden battleaxe. He was like a god of war with a shining golden light surrounding his body.


    Although the golden battleaxe in his hand was tattered, a strong battle-intent was radiating from it.


    ¡°An inheritance battleaxe!¡±


    ¡°The battle-intent within that golden axe is comparable to a peak True Lord Rank.¡±


    ¡°Huang Tiankui didn¡¯t use this in the previous battles.¡±


    Exclamations came from the Tea Party participants.


    Although Huang Tiankui was only at the early-stage True Mystic Rank, his golden axe¡¯s energy level was stronger than most normal True Lord Ranks.


    ¡°The number one genius of the True Dragon geniuses is qualified enough for me to use this inheritance battleaxe.¡±


    Huang Tiankui¡¯s battle-intent reached the maximum.


    _Sky River Extermination!_


    The instant that Huang Tiankui¡¯s axe swung out, a surge of battle-intent comparable to the True Lord Rank resonated with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi as a golden light flashed through the sky.


    The powerful surge of battle-intent was enough to shake the hearts of those below the Overwhelming Prodigy level.


    Zhao Feng stood still as his hair blew in the wind.


    Facing such an attack, he sighed, ¡°Although the battle-intent is strong, you haven¡¯t comprehended it.¡±


    After he said this.


    Dang!


    A thick beam of lightning shot out from Zhao Feng¡¯s fingertips, hitting the golden axe.


    Wu!


    Huang Tiankui¡¯s body went numb as his golden axe was sent flying by the condensed power.


    Clang!


    The golden axe fell to the ground as a sigh seemed to come from the disappearing battle-intent.


    ¡°How¡­ how is this possible!? Master told me that if I channeled this axe with all my power I would be able to clash head-on even with a True Lord Rank for a while.¡±


    Huang Tiankui was dazed.


    He knew that his chances of winning against Zhao Feng were slim. He only wanted to show off.


    It would be a glory to be defeated by the number one genius.


    However, he didn¡¯t think that his all-out attack wouldn¡¯t be a match even for Zhao Feng¡¯s casual move.


    ¡°Huang Tiankui, you relied too much on the item and didn¡¯t actually comprehend the battleaxe.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s faint voice sounded.


    Being the hosts, the Three Eyed Saint and Goddess Bing Wei would occasionally give pointers, and it was only at this time that everyone returned to reality.


    Huang Tiankui was utterly crushed.


    ¡°Indeed worthy of being a Lord Prodigy.¡±


    The hearts of the True Dragon geniuses shook. The state Huang Tiankui was in was close to the True Lord Rank and he was still defeated.


    At the same time.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, by using your advantage in comprehension and cultivation, defeating the opponent in one move is within expectations.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint told Zhao Feng.


    Everyone was stunned. Probably only the Three Eyed Saint had the right to give Zhao Feng pointers.


    ¡°Reasonable.¡±


    Zhao Feng was calm and didn¡¯t reject it. He had no interest in a battle at that level, so he wanted to finish it as quickly as possible.


    After Huang Tiankui lost, several other True Dragon geniuses challenged Zhao Feng as well, but they were all defeated in one move too.


    ¡°It¡¯s my glory to challenge the number one genius of the True Dragons.¡±


    This time, the challenger was Qin Kunwu, a first-tier genius.


    After coming back from the inheritance, his cultivation had reached the peak True Mystic Rank while his mental energy level had touched the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Attack, or else you won¡¯t have the chance to do so.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly. He remembered Qin Kunwu.


    Back at the first stage of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, both he and Zhao Feng were geniuses of the first tier.


    However, everything was different now.


    ¡°I won¡¯t hold back against a Lord Prodigy like you¡­.¡±


    Qin Kunwu took a deep breath with a complex expression.


    He didn¡¯t think what Zhao Feng said was arrogant. Thinking back to how he hadn¡¯t thought well of Zhao Feng and even had a dispute with a junior martial brother, he ended up watching this youth ascend step-by-step to eventually sit on the throne of the Overwhelming Prodigies.


    ¡°Nine Star Extreme Sky Palm!¡±


    With a thought, Qin Kunwu¡¯s eyes became as bright as stars and his Qi of True Spirit started to boil. He pushed out both palms, seeming to be the sun and moon.


    In that instant, Qin Kunwu seemed to become a star as he resonated with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. He even had signs of connecting to the power from the sun and moon.


    ¡°What a profound inheritance secret technique. It can even connect to the power of the stars. His battle-power is comparable to the True Lord Rank.¡±


    Many geniuses¡¯ hearts trembled, and even the other first-tier geniuses felt pressured. The Overwhelming Prodigies were also moved.


    It was obvious that Qin Kunwu had used a mystic inheritance secret technique, and with his comprehension, he could spar with a True Lord Rank for a short amount of time.


    ¡°Not bad, your comprehension of nature is quite high.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in praise. Qin Kunwu wasn¡¯t far away from breaking through to the half-step True Lord Rank, and even the True Lord Rank wasn¡¯t far away.


    Of course, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t go easy on him.


    _Wind Lightning Tornado!_


    A ball of wind and lightning condensed in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm and started to expand into a large tornado.


    Boom~~~~~


    The Wind Lightning Tornado engulfed Qin Kunwu¡¯s move and the bright beams of light shattered. However, the power of the wind and lightning didn¡¯t disappear, landing on Qin Kunwu instead.


    Deng! Deng! Deng!


    Qin Kunwu¡¯s expression changed drastically and he kept retreating. His body turned completely black.


    Wah!


    With a strong gust of wind, Qin Kunwu spat out a mouthful of blood and his face became white.


    Seeing this, Zhao Feng waved his hand and stopped the tornado. However, even then, Qin Kunwu staggered and almost fell over.


    ¡°Another victory in one move!¡±


    ¡°If Zhao Feng didn¡¯t stop, Qin Kunwu¡¯s life would have most likely been threatened.¡±


    Discussion broke out.


    Even Qin Kunwu was defeated by Zhao Feng in one move.


    The first-tier geniuses and the Overwhelming Prodigies had solemn expressions.


    Although the other Overwhelming Prodigies might be able to defeat Qin Kunwu, it would be hard for them to do so in one move.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s grown to this stage already? And he¡¯s not even using his bloodline power.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s heart went cold.


    As of right now, Zhao Feng might only be revealing a fraction of his strength. No one knew exactly how strong he was.


    After Qin Kunwu lost, the Three Eyed Saint gave an evaluation, ¡°Qin Kunwu, although you lost, your opponent¡¯s cultivation far surpasses yours. There¡¯s not much technique involved.¡±


    This evaluation was obviously taking Qin Kunwu¡¯s side and badmouthing Zhao Feng.


    He meant that Zhao Feng only relied on his cultivation and won without any skill.


    Zhao Feng only smiled. Back then, his cultivation wasn¡¯t as high as his opponents¡¯ and he still won.


    He liked the feeling of easily suppressing others due to a difference in cultivation.


    Many others challenged Zhao Feng after Qin Kunwu, but there was only one result; defeated in one move.


    Zhao Feng stood unmoving and won every battle in one move. Even if there were continuous challenges, they still ended with the same result.

 513 Suppression 2

    Within the time it took to make a cup of tea, Zhao Feng had already defeated more than a dozen True Dragon geniuses, and all with just one move.


    The spectators from across the continent were dazed.


    This wasn¡¯t even sparring; this was a one-sided suppression.


    Zhao Feng stood on the hole-filled field expressionlessly.


    At this moment in time, the Tea Party was silent. No one continued to challenge Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Even without using his eye-bloodline, Zhao Feng¡¯s stronger than normal Overwhelming Prodigies.¡±


    The dozens of True Dragon geniuses were speechless.


    Everyone¡¯s gaze toward Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t just respect and admiration anymore. It was as if the youth in their sight was something completely out of reach, and Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s expression became more and more solemn.


    From the start, Zhao Feng won every match in one move. No one had even forced him to use his eye-bloodline.


    From the strength that Zhao Feng currently revealed, neither Goddess Bing Wei nor Shi Chengtian had much hope of winning.


    No one challenged Zhao Feng anymore. Neither Shi Chengtian, Cang Yuyue, nor Tantan Lanyue had any signs of doing so, and that made Goddess Bing Wei panic.


    It was fine if Shi Chengtian and Tantan Lanyue didn¡¯t challenge him, as they already lost to Zhao Feng in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    However, without an Overwhelming Prodigy challenging him, it would be hard to see Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength.


    ¡°Hehe, if no one¡¯s going to challenge me anymore¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    Everyone was silent.


    ¡°Then¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes suddenly turned toward the Three Eyed Saint sitting at the top of the Tea Party arena.


    Without Yu Tianhao here, the Three Eyed Saint was Zhao Feng¡¯s only target.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions instantly raised the attention of the other geniuses.


    He was about to challenge the Three Eyed Saint when he suddenly heard Goddess Bing Wei speak, ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯ve already fought more than a dozen battles. Let someone else have a turn.¡±


    Zhao Feng paused. He looked at her with deep meaning before nodding and walking off.


    After all, Goddess Bing Wei was one of the hosts and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t directly go against her.


    After Zhao Feng went down, the other geniuses all let out a breath, and the stone that was on their hearts was removed.


    With Zhao Feng up there, no one else had a chance.


    If Goddess Bing Wei didn¡¯t stop Zhao Feng, he might just defeat everyone here and the Tea Party would lose its meaning.


    A while later, the True Dragon geniuses that hadn¡¯t gone up yet displayed their skills and caused the crowd to cheer and clap.


    Although Zhao Feng was stronger and stunned everyone, his battles ended in just one move.


    Soon, one of the three eye-bloodline successors, Tuoba Qi, walked onto the middle of the field.


    ¡°Tuoba Qi.¡±


    The hearts of many geniuses clenched.


    The successors of the three eye-bloodline families were all at the Tea Party.


    The Three Eyed Saint, Tuoba Qi, and the ghost-eyed man represented the three strongest eye-bloodlines.


    Heavenly Piercing Eye!


    Tuoba Qi¡¯s eyes glinted with a cold light.


    Shua!


    A bloody mark appeared on his opponent¡¯s face that extended from his face to his chin. Just a little deeper and it would¡¯ve sliced open his throat.


    The True Dragon geniuses all took in a deep breath. Most of the people couldn¡¯t even see Tuoba Qi¡¯s attack.


    Only the Three Eyed Saint, Zhao Feng, and the ghost-eyed man could barely manage to see Tuoba Qi¡¯s attack through their eye-bloodlines.


    Even a normal Overwhelming Prodigy might lose if ambushed by Tuoba Qi.


    ¡°A head-on clash is extremely bad for Tuoba Qi. Overwhelming Prodigies can prepare before Tuoba Qi even attacks.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected.


    However, even then, Tuoba Qi was almost unparalleled as long as he didn¡¯t challenge an Overwhelming Prodigy.


    As expected, Tuoba Qi then continuously defeated four or five True Dragon geniuses, and even two first-tier geniuses lost to him.


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡±


    A sharp light appeared in Tuoba Qi¡¯s eyes as he locked on to Zhao Feng with battle-intent.


    This time, his target was Zhao Feng. Many geniuses looked forward to this.


    After all, Tuoba Qi and Zhao Feng were both famed for their eye-bloodlines.


    ¡°Ok. Last time, I beat the ghost-eyed man. This time, I¡¯ll spar with the other two eye-bloodlines.¡±


    Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes lit up.


    __


    _This battle should be able to reveal Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength, right?_


    On the field, Zhao Feng and Tuoba Qi looked at each other from a hundred yards away.


    ¡°Attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood still and didn¡¯t circulate his Qi of True Spirit.


    A weird light flashed through Tuoba Qi¡¯s eyes. His Heavenly Piercing Eye¡¯s attack was extremely fast, and if the opponent wasn¡¯t prepared, even a True Lord Rank might be killed.


    It wasn¡¯t as if Tuoba Qi hadn¡¯t ambushed and killed a True Lord Rank before.


    Even Overwhelming Prodigies would need to prepare against Tuoba Qi.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do anything.


    Just this point alone made Tuoba Qi admire him, but he would still go all out. His opponent stood at the peak of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering and suppressed dozens of generations.


    Heavenly Piercing Eye!


    Tuoba Qi stood still as a sharp glint flashed through his eyes.


    Shuu!


    An invisible blade almost instantly hit Zhao Feng.


    Fast. The Heavenly Piercing Eye was extremely fast and invisible.


    When the Heavenly Piercing Eye was unleashed, Zhao Feng¡¯s skin felt cold.


    Ding!


    An arc of lightning appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s index finger that seemed to accidentally hit the invisible blade.


    Bam!


    The invisible blade crumbled and exploded into a silver light.


    ¡°Using his hand to block my Heavenly Piercing Eye¡­ how did he do it?¡±


    Tuoba Qi was shocked. This was the first time he met a genius who stopped his Heavenly Piercing Eye with just one hand.


    He knew very clearly how fast the Heavenly Piercing Eye was.


    Without preparations, those under the True Lord Rank shouldn¡¯t be able to dodge it and could only use their Qi of True Spirit to form a shield.


    Using a hand to block it was basically the same as dodging it.


    ¡°Heavenly Piercing Eye ¨C Heavenly Cloud Pierce!¡±


    Tuoba Qi took a deep breath and the light in his eyes formed into a miniscule line.


    Shuuuu!


    A transparent silver line pierced through the air and through Zhao Feng¡¯s figure.


    This attack was twice as fast and twice as sharp than before.


    ¡°Using his eye-bloodline power to form a line and adding the element of metal to it. Even a True Lord Rank would find it hard to defend against. On top of that, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t prepared against it beforehand.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s expression changed.


    ¡°This Heavenly Piercing Eye ¨C Heavenly Cloud Pierce is enough to penetrate the defenses of normal True Lord Ranks.¡±


    On the other side, the ghost-eyed man was shocked. He didn¡¯t think that Tuoba Qi¡¯s eye-bloodline had reached a new level.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure seemed to be pierced through by the silver line and a smile started to form on Tuoba Qi¡¯s mouth, but it instantly froze.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure suddenly disappeared in a blur of wind and lightning.


    ¡°Using his speed to dodge my eye-bloodline¡­ even thoughts can¡¯t keep up, how can his body keep up?¡±


    Tuoba Qi¡¯s eyes were wide open and he was dazed.


    __


    _Impossible! Impossible!_


    Tuoba Qi shook his head.


    In terms of speed, his Heavenly Piercing Eye shouldn¡¯t be able to be evaded if the opponent was under the Origin Core Realm.


    Even if someone could react to it in time, they wouldn¡¯t be able to move their body in time. They could only circulate their Qi of True Spirit at most.


    ¡°How did he do that?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint was slightly stunned. Even he wasn¡¯t confident that he would be able to dodge Tuoba Qi¡¯s Heavenly Piercing Eye and would only use his eye-bloodline or Qi of True Spirit to defend.


    ¡°I admit defeat. How did you do that?¡±


    Tuoba Qi took a deep breath and raised his hands. The scene he just witnessed exceeded his knowledge.


    He could accept it if Zhao Feng was a Sovereign, but there had never been a Sovereign younger than thirty years old in the continent. It was unlikely even in the outside world.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s simple¡­ prediction.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure appeared in front of Tuoba Qi in a gust of wind and lightning.


    _Prediction?_


    Tuoba Qi understood and was bitter, ¡°So that¡¯s why.¡±


    It would be hard for Zhao Feng to dodge Tuoba Qi¡¯s Heavenly Piercing Eye even if he had comprehended the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet.


    Dodging would be impossible if Tuoba Qi¡¯s attack had already been unleashed. The only solution was to evade before Tuoba Qi¡¯s attack was even unleashed.


    Dodging too early and dodging too late would both result in failure.


    If he was too early, Tuoba Qi would just lock on to him again, and if he was too late, the attack would have already arrived.


    ¡°Predicting the attack of an eye-bloodline. How did Zhao Feng do such a thing?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint was still slightly shocked.


    After all, Tuoba Qi¡¯s eye-bloodline was from one of the three major eye-families and its history wasn¡¯t much weaker than the Golden Sun family.


    The Heavenly Piercing Eye was extremely profound and everything was completed within an instant.


    It would only be possible if one could see the changes within Tuoba Qi¡¯s eye-bloodline.


    However, was such a thing possible?


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s expression was solemn.


    Did Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye have the legendary ¡°prediction¡± ability?


    According to what the Three Eyed Saint knew, the eight Great God Eyes had their respective branches, and one of them contained the ability to predict what could happen in the next few seconds, or even longer.


    However, that was hard even for those at the Void God Realm since it regarded space and time.


    Of course, the Three Eyed Saint was overanalyzing and thinking about the legends.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s prediction ability was based on its precision and control.


    He could see any change in Tuoba Qi¡¯s eye-bloodline as well as his Qi of True Spirit and bloodline aura.


    Like this, Zhao Feng could ¡°predict¡± what Tuoba Qi¡¯s next attack was going to be.

 514 One Move to Beat an Overwhelming Prodigy

    On the field, the True Dragon geniuses had bulging eyes and incredulous looks on their faces.


    Zhao Feng and Tuoba Qi¡¯s battle had ended just like that?


    Facing the successor of the Tuoba family, which was one of the three major eye-bloodline families, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use his own eye-bloodline or even retaliate.


    Without even attacking, Zhao Feng made the Tuoba family successor admit defeat.


    ¡°By predicting my eye-bloodline attacks, my Heavenly Piercing Eye is basically useless against him.¡±


    Tuoba Qi took a deep breath as he admitted defeat and walked off.


    The skill he was most famous for, the Heavenly Piercing Eye, could even be dodged by Zhao Feng. What was the point in fighting?


    ¡°Including the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Zhao Feng¡¯s already defeated two of the three major eye-bloodline successors.¡±


    ¡°Only the Golden Sun family hasn¡¯t fought with Zhao Feng yet.¡±


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t this mean that, if he beats the Three Eyed Saint¡­?¡±


    The spectators discussed with one another.


    Zhao Feng defeated the ghost-eyed man in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, and the latter was the successor of one of the three major eye-bloodline families. Now, Zhao Feng had defeated Tuoba Qi, leaving only one eye-bloodline family, and that family happened to be the strongest.


    Thinking up to there, the True Dragon geniuses were expectant.


    It could be imagined that the battle between Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint couldn¡¯t be avoided, and as long as Zhao Feng won, he would be able to take the title of ¡°strongest eye-bloodline on the continent.¡±


    The Tea Party wasn¡¯t just a gathering for True Dragon geniuses anymore, it was also the thing that would decide who holds the title of the strongest eye-bloodline.


    ¡°Jinyang Shengtian.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood unmoving. He remained on the stage as his gaze turned toward the host ¨C the Three Eyed Saint. An invisible surge of battle-intent emanated from him, and many spectators and geniuses held their breath in excitement and anticipation.


    ¡°As expected, Zhao Feng¡¯s challenged the Three Eyed Saint.¡±


    ¡°Can the Three Eyed Saint hold on to the title of the strongest eye-bloodline in the continent?¡±


    Tuoba Qi and the ghost-eyed man both took a deep breath.


    Facing Zhao Feng¡¯s challenge, the Three Eyed Saint smiled and slowly rose up with confidence.


    The third eye on his forehead slowly opened, glittering with a golden light. It was like a miniature sun as it radiated a powerful energy across the entire area.


    In that instant, the heart of every genius shook and they were unable to breathe properly.


    Even the other Overwhelming Prodigies couldn¡¯t look at the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s Sacred Eye-bloodline head-on. If they did, it would feel like being burned by the sun.


    Just looking at it made the normal Overwhelming Prodigies feel that they wouldn¡¯t be able to resist him.


    Just as the Three Eyed Saint rose and the clash of the two strongest eye-bloodlines on the continent was about to begin.


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s cold voice suddenly sounded.


    Shua!


    A frosty air blew by, radiating a terrifying coldness.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body froze. The coldness from Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s body had reached a level where it could freeze normal early-stage True Lord Ranks.


    ¡°Goddess Bing Wei, what is the meaning of this?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed in unhappiness.


    This was the third time he tried to fight with the Three Eyed Saint only to be interrupted by her.


    The first time was when their eye-bloodline powers clashed before the Tea Party.


    The second time was when Zhao Feng had defeated more than a dozen True Dragon geniuses and was about to challenge the Three Eyed Saint.


    This was the third time.


    ¡°Sister Wei, you¡­¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint felt as if he had no face anymore, but it wasn¡¯t hard for him to understand her intentions.


    Goddess Bing Wei still felt uneasy, ¡°No one has drawn out Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength yet.¡±


    Almost all of Zhao Feng¡¯s opponents were defeated instantly, and the other two Overwhelming Prodigies weren¡¯t challenging him for one reason or another.


    Shi Chengtian had already lost to Zhao Feng back then, and the current relationship between them was quite good.


    Cang Yuyue¡¯s Sword Dao was extremely powerful, and Goddess Bing Wei thought that Cang Yuyue had a high chance of challenging Zhao Feng.


    However, she was disappointed. Although Cang Yuyue had battle-intent toward Zhao Feng, she didn¡¯t challenge him.


    Goddess Bing Wei obviously didn¡¯t know the two had already fought in the Cloud area and Cang Yuyue had lost. They weren¡¯t even on the same level.


    Even though Cang Yuyue had comprehended more of the Sword Dao, she still didn¡¯t have any confidence that she could beat Zhao Feng.


    That meant that all three present Overwhelming Prodigies had lost to Zhao Feng before.


    ¡°Hmph! I shall attack whoever dares to stop me.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Qi of True Spirit started to circulate and spread out across dozens of yards.


    Shua!


    The frosty air coming from Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s body was instantly destroyed.


    Goddess Bing Wei groaned as her body became numb. The howling wind made her unable to breathe.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s aura of wind and lightning had reached a terrifying level that normal True Lord Ranks couldn¡¯t be compared to.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, our battle from last year hasn¡¯t ended yet!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei almost started to burn her Qi of True Spirit as a layer of blue ice appeared on her skin.


    In that instant, she was like a blossoming flower as her aura instantly rose to a level comparable to the peak True Lord Rank within a couple breaths.


    ¡°What is this secret technique¡­? Turning her whole body into ice¡­.¡±


    The hearts of the True Dragon geniuses seemed to freeze as they started to chatter.


    The entire place was filled with coldness. The teeth of the weaker spectators started to chatter and they were unable to move.


    ¡°Mystic Crystal Battle Body!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei was like a goddess of ice. Her actions resonated with the cold in the air.


    Under this state, her defense surpassed even Shi Chengtian.


    Even Cang Yuyue probably couldn¡¯t break through her defense right now. At least, not in the physical dimension.


    ¡°Under the Mystic Crystal Battle Body state, my every action can freeze normal True Lord Ranks. Zhao Feng, I don¡¯t believe you can still conserve your strength and not use your eye-bloodline.¡±


    Cold killing intent seemed to materialize from Goddess Bing Wei.


    Hu~~


    With a wave of her hand, she created a powerful whirl of icy wind that engulfed everything within half a mile.


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s strength made the expressions of the other Overwhelming Prodigies change dramatically while the other geniuses exclaimed in shock.


    Even the Three Eyed Saint was surprised. Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s battle-power could be considered to be unparalleled under the peak True Lord Rank.


    Normal True Lord Ranks couldn¡¯t even break through her defense. In fact, they would be frozen if they even got close.


    Siiii!


    The layer of wind and lightning around Zhao Feng was starting to get eroded by the ice and his body was almost frozen.


    ¡°Goddess Bing Wei, using this technique will injure your foundation. And you¡¯re using it just to see how strong I am?¡±


    A cold smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    _From Ice to Water!_


    A ripple of water appeared around Zhao Feng that extended across everything within dozens of yards.


    Boi~~


    Everything that came close to Zhao Feng was like a stone sinking into the ocean.


    If Goddess Bing Wei was an ice mountain, then Zhao Feng was the ocean.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s entire body rippled and started to ¡°seep¡± closer to Goddess Bing Wei.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng punched out. He was like water merging into and passing through Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s Mystic Ice Battle Body¡¯s defense.


    ¡°No~~~~!¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s expression changed dramatically as she watched Zhao Feng punch her chest.


    Crack!


    This punch hit Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s Mystic Crystal Battle Body and exploded around her chest.


    Wah!


    Goddess Bing Wei spat out a mouthful of blood as her clothes became tattered, revealing a pair of snow-white breasts.


    ¡°Sister Wei!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint roared and immediately went to save her.


    ¡°He beat Goddess Bing Wei in one move.¡±


    The spectators were dead-silent and many took in cold breaths.


    ¡°Terrifying. In that state, Goddess Bing Wei was even stronger than the other Overwhelming Prodigies, and yet she was still defeated by Zhao Feng in one move.¡±


    Shi Chengtian, Cang Yuyue, Tantan Lanyue, and company all clicked their tongues.


    They were lucky that they didn¡¯t challenge Zhao Feng before, or else they would have embarrassed themselves.


    An Overwhelming Prodigy lost in one move.


    The eyes of many spectators almost fell out. They were only able to return back to reality after some time.


    The cause of all this commotion remained expressionless as he murmured to himself, ¡°At least everything in the way is gone now.¡±


    On top of a faraway mountain, the Head of the Golden Sun family and the elder wearing the grass hat had solemn expressions.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s strength has surpassed our expectations. Looks like his intentions here aren¡¯t good¡­.¡±


    The elder wearing the hat murmured.


    ¡°Looks like Sheng¡¯er won¡¯t beat him easily, but no one can take the title of the strongest eye-bloodline away.¡±


    The eyes of the Golden Sun family Head twinkled.


    Right at this moment, the battle between Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint instantly started.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how dare you injure Wei¡¯er!¡±


    The roaring voice contained a soul-shaking killing intent. The geniuses present felt cold, as if they had fallen into a dark abyss.


    In their eyes, the handsome golden-haired male¡¯s third eye suddenly opened, releasing a golden light as bright as the sun that filled the air.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Tuoba Qi, the ghost-eyed man, and everyone else who had eye-bloodlines felt unable to breathe as their eye-bloodlines became suppressed.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng felt his left eye become heavy. There was a pressure that made it thump gently.


    ¡°Three Eyed Divine Light!¡±


    A light as bright as the sun that contained the power to vaporize everything shot toward Zhao Feng like a meteor shower.

 515 Divine Light of Destruction

    In that instant, everyone within several hundred miles could see the flaming light.


    The third eye of the Three Eyed Saint was like a sun looking down on the land.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng, who was a hundred yards away, was engulfed in this scorching light.


    ¡°What a powerful eye-bloodline technique!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s the Three Eyed Divine Light that¡¯s said to be able to break through any skill.¡±


    The dominating power swept across a one-mile radius, and even those with eye-bloodlines like Tuoba Qi and the ghost-eyed man felt their eyes tremble.


    Bam! Peng!


    Zhao Feng seemed to take a devastating blow and was pushed back.


    Zhao Feng felt his heart and body became heavy, as if he was facing the power of an ancient dragon.


    Weng~~


    The ripple around Zhao Feng started to become dimmer.


    ¡°The Three Eyed Divine Light seems to attack both the physical and the mental dimensions.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. The ground where he was pushed back started to smoke.


    The power of the Three Eyed Divine Light was far too strong, destroying everything in its path.


    Shuuuuu!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body was covered in a burning fire. At the same time, his soul couldn¡¯t avoid burning as well.


    Only two breaths later, when Zhao Feng had retreated half a mile away, did the attack of the Three Eyed Divine Light finally fade.


    At this moment, over half of the blue ripple surrounding Zhao Feng disappeared, and there was a giant crater in between Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint.


    This scene made the spectators stunned and unable to calm down.


    ¡°Worthy of being the strongest eye-bloodline in the continent¡­. It¡¯s very strong indeed.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s clothes and hair were messy. A slight pain came from his body and his bones, as if he had been squeezed by a great pressure.


    It wasn¡¯t as if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to dodge the attack, he just didn¡¯t have the ability to do so.


    In reality, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s attack speed wasn¡¯t even as fast as the Heavenly Piercing Eye, but the Three Eyed Saint had locked on to Zhao Feng with his Sacred Eye bloodline. The space around Zhao Feng¡¯s body was filled with the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eye-bloodline power, and under that state, Zhao Feng¡¯s body acted like it was submerged in mud.


    Therefore, even though Zhao Feng saw the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s attacking route, it was very hard for him to dodge it.


    At the same time, at the other end of the crater.


    ¡°¡­not injured by my full strength Three Eyed Divine Light? No one under the half-step Origin Core Realm can remain unharmed.¡±


    Shock appeared in the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eyes.


    At least from the surface, it seemed that Zhao Feng was only slightly ruffled.


    Those with a strong soul didn¡¯t usually have a strong body, and those with powerful bodies usually didn¡¯t have a powerful soul.


    However, the youth in front of him seemed to easily resist his attack, which attacked both the physical and the mental dimension.


    After the previous evolution, Zhao Feng¡¯s Water bloodline specialized in defense and recovery.


    Three Eyed Divine Light¡¯s was mostly fire-oriented, so it was countered by Zhao Feng¡¯s Water bloodline.


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly turned azure, and a flicker of purple appeared.


    _What? Change of eye-bloodline powers?_


    The Three Eyed Saint and the two other successors of the eye-bloodline families were in disbelief.


    The element of an eye-bloodline was normally determined at birth, and this change in eye-bloodline power only appeared in some legendary bloodlines.


    Whoosh!


    A half-transparent flame of wind and lightning seemed to appear from another dimension as it struck the Three Eyed Saint.


    Wind Lightning Eye Flame!


    This was Zhao Feng¡¯s strongest offensive eye-bloodline attack so far, containing the three elements of fire, lightning, and wind, and there was even a little aura of destruction.


    When the Wind Lightning Eye Flame touched the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s body, he felt a scorching pain as if he was in hell.


    In terms of duration, the Wind Lightning Eye Flame didn¡¯t last as long as the Three Eyed Divine Light, but its explosive power was stronger.


    In this dangerous situation, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s third eye twitched.


    ¡°Divine Light of Destruction!¡±


    A beam of sunlight seemed to pass through the air.


    Whoosh!


    This weird light seemed to be both a physical and a mental energy attack as it clashed with the Wind Lightning Eye Flame.


    A weird scene appeared.


    Shuuu~~


    The chaotic Wind Lightning Eye Flame that was about to explode suddenly crumbled in front of the Divine Light of Destruction and its power weakened by more than half.


    Boom!


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s figure shook, and he was pushed back a couple steps as his body and soul were eroded by this force.


    However, after facing the Divine Light of Destruction, the fire¡¯s threat toward him was greatly reduced.


    The Three Eyed Saint let out a breath and revealed a faint smile.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attack just now was too strong; it could instantly defeat late-stage True Lord Ranks.


    At the opposite end of the crater.


    ¡°This is the Three Eyed Divine Light of Destruction? It can even dissolve and break apart my strongest attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a solemn expression.


    The Three Eyed Saint had two main techniques.


    The main was an offensive skill that burned through everything, while the second was a defensive skill that could break apart every attack, including eye-bloodline techniques.


    Both skills could affect the physical world and the mental energy world simultaneously.


    This was the Golden Sun family¡¯s Sacred Eye bloodline, which had reached a level of perfection.


    Most other eye-bloodline techniques were biased more toward a certain aspect.


    For example, Zhao Feng¡¯s was biased more toward the soul, Chi Gui from the Black Cliff Palace specialized more in the mental energy world of the Ghost Dao, and Tuoba Qi¡¯s Heavenly Piercing Eye was biased toward the physical dimension.


    However, the Golden Sun family¡¯s Sacred Eye bloodline had reached a high level in both the physical and mental energy dimensions.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I didn¡¯t think you would have the legendary ability to change your eye-bloodline power, but facing my Golden Sun family¡¯s Sacred Eye bloodline, no matter what you change to, it is useless.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s third eye shone.


    _Eye of Illusion!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye locked on to the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s third eye.


    Countless lures and attractions came from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, and the Three Eyed Saint wasn¡¯t able to resist the pull.


    The Eye of Illusion represented Zhao Feng¡¯s most perfected technique and, with his strong source of mental energy, even the Three Eyed Saint wasn¡¯t able to block it.


    Shua!


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s consciousness entered a unique dimension filled with wind, lightning, and ice.


    His body had been restrained by chains of lightning and was unable to move.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your eye-bloodline is indeed strong.¡±


    However, the restrained Three Eyed Saint started to smile.


    _Divine Light of Destruction!_


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s third eye once again shot out a scorching light.


    Boom!


    The dimension Zhao Feng had created with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye instantly shattered.


    The Divine Light of Destruction could disperse not only fire, it could also disperse mental energy.


    The Three Eyed Divine Light was said to be able to destroy everything.


    In the real world.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint were both standing at the two ends of the crater as if nothing had happened.


    The spectators all held their breath.


    Only Tuoba Qi, the ghost-eyed man, and a small number of people could see the real battle.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy is way too strong. Luckily, I took Sister Wei¡¯s suggestion and wore three or four soul-defending items, and that¡¯s already the max limit for the Golden Sun family¡­.¡±


    Cold sweat appeared on the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s forehead.


    It was because of this preparation that he was able to break through Zhao Feng¡¯s illusory dimension despite not having as much mental energy as Zhao Feng.


    ¡°As expected.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood unmoving as his blue hair blew in the wind.


    He expected that his Eye of Illusion wouldn¡¯t work, but he didn¡¯t expect that the Three Eyed Saint would have three or four soul-defending items on his person.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your eye-bloodline that you rely on the most ends here.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint stood arrogantly.


    At this point in time, the other two major eye-bloodline successors, Tuoba Qi and the ghost-eyed man, both sighed regretfully.


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s Sacred Eye bloodline countered most eye-bloodlines, otherwise the Golden Sun family wouldn¡¯t have held the title of the strongest eye-bloodline in the continent for tens of thousands of years.


    ¡°Three Eyed Divine Light ¨C Golden Crow World Smothering!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s third eye released a light. This light formed into the shape of a golden crow that radiated scorching flames through the air.


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s power had reached another level.


    Before the attack even arrived, Zhao Feng could feel the air become filled with heat.


    Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to dodge this attack since he had been locked on to by the Three Eyed Divine Light.


    However, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t even thought about dodging.


    ¡°Eye of Ice Soul ¨C Ice Soul Shooting Line!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye shot out a transparent blue light.


    Whoosh!


    The cold blue light flashed through the air and clashed with the Three Eyed Divine Light.


    The Ice Soul Shooting Line was immediately at a disadvantage.


    After all, the Three Eyed Divine Light had the element and the ability to disperse it, yet Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye released a bone-chilling coldness that extended forward.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the seventeen-to-eighteen-yard wide lake rippled as it supported Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline power.


    Wu~


    A cold yet beautiful ice-blue glow materialized in the air and surged forward.


    ¡°Eye of Ice Soul ¨C Ice Soul Freeze!¡±


    Zhao Feng managed to understand a bit of the core essence of the Ball of Ice Soul.


    The ice-blue light started to cool and freeze the Three Eyed Divine Light.

 516 Eye-Bloodline Power Transfer

    In the air, the beautiful ice-blue light intertwined with the scorching light.


    During the first half-breath, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s scorching golden crow held the absolute advantage.


    As Zhao Feng¡¯s Ice Soul Shooting Line was about to disperse, an even more powerful icy force emerged, enhancing the attack.


    The ice-blue line became more condensed while the Three Eyed Divine Light¡¯s momentum decreased.


    ¡°The Ice Soul Shooting Line specializes in extreme cold and erosion, but it isn¡¯t stable. The Ice Soul Freeze doesn¡¯t aim for offense, it just concentrates on freezing.¡±


    The Ball of Ice Soul¡¯s essence appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind, and it contained many things about the mysteries of Ice.


    Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t placed much importance on the aspect of freezing before, but after meeting the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s Three Eyed Divine Light and its powerful disintegration ability, the freezing ability was finally used.


    The two opposing eye-bloodlines clashed, but a winner couldn¡¯t be determined right away.


    One was disintegrating while the other was freezing. These were the eye-bloodline specialties.


    The Three Eyed Divine Light was fire-based while the Eye of Ice Soul was ice-based. They were opposites.


    ¡°The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s Three Eyed Divine Light has been blocked!¡±


    ¡°But that Zhao Feng doesn¡¯t have an advantage either.¡±


    The spectators all held their breath in excitement.


    This battle was between the two strongest eye-bloodlines in the continent.


    ¡°The Three Eyed Divine Light has actually been blocked by that brat? How can a measly Azure Flower Continent give birth to such a monstrous eye-bloodline?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s expression was twisted in anger and unwillingness.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Ice Soul wasn¡¯t as profound or perfect as his Three Eyed Divine Light.


    After all, the Golden Sun family had a long history while Zhao Feng figured everything out by himself.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline strength was stronger than the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s. It was only because of that that Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Ice Soul was able to clash with the Three Eyed Divine Light.


    On a faraway mountain.


    ¡°What a terrifying eye-bloodline. In terms of strength, Sheng¡¯er¡¯s isn¡¯t as strong.¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family¡¯s eyes flashed with greed and admiration.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s eye is extremely unique. It has quite a large amount of soul energy and it can even change powers.¡±


    The hat-wearing elder said.


    As time passed, the expressions of the two started to become solemn.


    In the air, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s scorching Divine Light originally took up two-thirds of the clash and had the advantage, but as several breaths passed by, the length of the scorching Divine Light was being pushed back.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng¡¯s Ice Soul Line was pushing forward and coming close to taking up half of the space.


    When the two sides each took up a half, the Three Eyed Saint lost the advantage, and from the current momentum, Zhao Feng¡¯s Ice Soul Line was extending even further toward Jinyang Shengtian.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint gritted his teeth and his circulated the power of his third eye, but no matter what he did, he couldn¡¯t turn back the momentum.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s half started to creep forward.


    Five tenths¡­ six tenths¡­ seven tenths¡­.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s advantage was getting bigger and bigger.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s a monster. He¡¯s suppressing the Three Eyed Saint in terms of eye-bloodline power.¡±


    Tuoba Qi and the ghost-eyed man looked at each other in shock.


    Although the victor hadn¡¯t been decided yet, Zhao Feng¡¯s advantage kept increasing and victory was falling toward him.


    When his ice-blue line had reached three-quarters of the way, the Three Eyed Saint started tiring.


    The Three Eyed Divine Light¡¯s power was not to be underestimated, but such a powerful skill required a terrifying amount of energy.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­? His expression still isn¡¯t changing?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint was in disbelief.


    At the other end of the crater, Zhao Feng was still calm. One had to know, the strength of his soul was almost comparable to a Sovereign¡¯s. How could the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s soul be compared to his?


    If this fight dragged out, the Three Eyed Saint would certainly lose.


    ¡°Three Eyed Saint, has the victor been decided already?¡±


    Zhao Feng mocked as he put more pressure on.


    Hearing this, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s face became ugly and full of anger.


    Before the battle, the Three Eyed Saint was absolutely confident; Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline was destined to be beaten by him.


    On the contrary, even though Zhao Feng was also confident in himself, he didn¡¯t underestimate his opponent.


    ¡°Jinyang Shengtian, no matter what the result is today, I¡¯m here with a humble heart to learn from and challenge the number one eye-bloodline family in the continent.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head and said.


    _Humble? Learn?_


    The spectators had weird expressions.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s actions at the Tea Party weren¡¯t arrogant, they weren¡¯t humble either.


    ¡°Humble learning? Could it be¡­!?¡±


    The ghost-eyed man seemed to remember something and his heart shook.


    On top of the faraway mountain.


    ¡°What is this Zhao Feng playing at?¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what he¡¯s playing at. If this continues, Sheng¡¯er will lose.¡±


    The grass-hat-wearing elder rolled his eyes.


    ¡°Hmph! With me here, how can Sheng¡¯er lose?¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family snickered coldly.


    Shua!


    The third eye on his forehead suddenly opened. Being the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s father, the Golden Sun family Head¡¯s eye-bloodline was similar, just not as pure. However, in terms of pure strength, the Head of the Golden Sun family far exceeded his son.


    Weng~~


    The Head of the Golden Sun family brought his hands together as drops of blood leaked from his third eye and a fiery aura passed through the air.


    ¡°Good, because you are his father, you can transfer your eye-bloodline power with the use of the Golden Sun family secret technique.¡±


    The grass-hat elder nodded his head faintly, not surprised.


    In the next instant, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s third eye released a glow of brilliant gold as a wave of eye-bloodline power emanated from him.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°What kind of secret technique is the Three Eyed Saint using? How can he suddenly have so much eye-bloodline power?¡±


    Tuoba Qi, the ghost-eyed man, and company exclaimed.


    In just a breath, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eye-bloodline power had doubled.


    Weng~ Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s ice-blue line, which extended to a point right in front of the Three Eyed Saint, was suddenly pushed back by the surge of light.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Shua!


    A gust of wind and lightning blew as the Divine Light started coming toward him again.


    _Wings of Wind and Lightning!_


    A pair of wings appeared behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back that resonated with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng felt as light as a feather and like he was at the center of the world¡¯s wind and lightning.


    In the past half a year, Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension had reached a new level.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, no matter how fast you are, you won¡¯t be able to evade my Divine Light.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint roared as the anger on his face was replaced by overwhelming joy and excitement.


    He received help from his father at the critical moment, and there seemed to be a large stream of eye-bloodline power supplying him.


    ¡°Three Eyed Divine Light!¡±


    With the support of his father¡¯s eye-bloodline power, the Three Eyed Saint once again released a shocking beam of light that was twice as strong as before.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was instantly pierced by the light.


    Logically, he wouldn¡¯t be able to dodge if he was locked on to, but at that moment, Zhao Feng smiled. The Wings of Wind and Lightning behind him suddenly flapped, creating countless arcs of lightning that pushed away the other Yuan Qi nearby.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure broke through the space that was covered in eye-bloodline power and disappeared.


    Qiu~~~


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s devastating blow missed.


    ¡°How did he do that?¡±


    Disbelief appeared on the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s face.


    From birth till now, this was the first time he had met a genius who could dodge his Three Eyed Divine Light so easily.


    On the faraway mountain.


    ¡°What kind of secret technique was that? It seems to contain a small portion of the laws of space, which let him dodge the bloodline lock on.¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family and the grass-hat elder were both surprised.


    Shua!


    With the Wings of Wind and Lightning, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed and agility both rose dramatically, and he disappeared from the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s sight.


    Suddenly, the Three Eyed Saint felt his back go cold as an invisible blade seemed to slice his skin.


    ¡°Azure Eye Sharp Slice!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye turned azure as his wings flapped, making him look like an ancient god of war.


    Shuuu~~~~~


    A half-transparent blade of wind slashed toward the Three Eyed Saint, and the peak geniuses all felt that this was somewhat familiar.


    It was incredibly similar to the Heavenly Piercing Eye.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? That¡¯s my Tuoba family¡¯s secret technique, the Heavenly Piercing Eye!¡±


    Tuoba Qi stood up in shock.


    However, by the time everyone realized that Zhao Feng¡¯s Azure Eye Sharp Slice was completed, the blade of wind was already even faster than the Heavenly Piercing Eye since Zhao Feng had merged it with the laws of speed from the Wind Lightning Emperor.


    Shua!


    Blood splattered from the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s back as a half-inch-deep gash appeared, causing him to groan.


    Even though he conjured a protective shield, it wasn¡¯t fast enough.


    Although the Three Eyed Saint had the ability to disperse the attack, Zhao Feng¡¯s Azure Eye Sharp Slice¡¯s speed and power had surpassed Tuoba Qi¡¯s, and it was launched from the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s blind spot.

 517 Humble Learning

    Shuu!


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s back was cut open by a blade of wind and blood splattered everywhere.


    The sharpness and speed exceeded the limits of the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Why is that move so similar to the Heavenly Piercing Eye?¡±


    The True Dragon geniuses all felt like they had seen that move before.


    Tuoba Qi was standing up in shock and puzzlement.


    At this moment in time, Tuoba Qi¡¯s Heavenly Piercing Eye secret technique had been copied by Zhao Feng, and its power far surpassed the original Heavenly Piercing Eye.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, this kind of copying ability¡­¡±


    The ghost-eyed man¡¯s heart jumped. Back at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Zhao Feng copied the ghost-eyed man¡¯s Ghost Eye Flame and created his own Lightning Fire God¡¯s Eye, which was now known as the Wind Lightning Eye Flame.


    Now, that method of copying appeared once more from Zhao Feng. The ghost-eyed man refused to believe that Zhao Feng could have comprehended some Azure Eye Sharp Slice that just so happened to be extremely similar to the Heavenly Piercing Eye.


    The only difference between the two techniques was their element.


    The Azure Eye Sharp Slice was wind-based while the Heavenly Piercing Eye was metal-based, but they both specialized in penetration and sharpness.


    ¡°He¡­ when did he learn my Heavenly Piercing Eye technique?¡±


    Tuoba Qi was stunned, but right now wasn¡¯t the best time for that question; the battle between Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint continued.


    Zhao Feng had the upper hand now, and that was due to his Heavenly Piercing Eye imitation.


    Tuoba Qi¡¯s heart was bitter. Not only did he lose to Zhao Feng, his own technique was apparently more powerful in Zhao Feng¡¯s hands.


    ¡°Heavenly Piercing Eye? He learned the secret technique of the Tuoba family?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint suppressed the pain from his back.


    In the past, the only major eye-bloodline technique he was wary of was the Heavenly Piercing Eye because it was too fast.


    Currently, Zhao Feng¡¯s existence had become a nightmare.


    In reality, he already lost a while ago. If it weren¡¯t for his father transferring power to him, the Three Eyed Saint couldn¡¯t have lasted this long.


    On the faraway mountain.


    ¡°This brat has the specialties of both the Wu and the Tuoba family, and he has his own Eye of Illusion and his Eye of Ice¡­.¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family took a deep breath.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye could adapt to every situation, and with the strength of his soul, his advantage was even bigger.


    In this situation, all the Golden Sun family Head could do was support his son by transferring his power.


    ¡°Unfortunately, there will be energy-loss due to the distance.¡±


    The grass-hat elder sighed.


    The Three Eyed Saint could only absorb about sixty percent of the energy that the Head of the Golden Sun family sent.


    However, even then, that allowed the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eye-bloodline power to almost double.


    But victory wouldn¡¯t be decided by just eye-bloodline strength anymore.


    ¡°Three Eyed Divine Light!¡±


    A bright scorching beam of light once again locked on to Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning behind Zhao Feng flapped once more as he dodged the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s attack.


    _Azure Eye Sharp Slice!_


    _Wind Lightning Eye Flame!_


    Zhao Feng flew in the air and forced the Three Eyed Saint to scramble.


    The Three Eyed Saint managed to block the Azure Eye Sharp Slice, but he didn¡¯t have enough time to fully disperse the Wind Lightning Eye Flame.


    His clothes were torn, but he counterattacked, not caring about his injuries.


    ¡°Three Eyed Divine Light ¨C Dazzling Solar Sky Stars!¡±


    The third eye was like a volcano that erupted thousands of chaotic and destructive beams of light.


    Boom~~~~~


    The earth shook and dust was blown into the air.


    The thousands of light-beams were like meteors as they slammed into the ground, creating room-sized craters.


    These thousands of lights that descended from the sky were a disaster, and such a powerful move was used against only one person.


    Even someone at the half-step Origin Core Realm would retreat against such a move, not wanting to clash against it head-on.


    ¡°Dazzling Solar Sky Stars! It¡¯s that move!?¡±


    ¡°Sheng¡¯er, you¡¯ve gone crazy! Before reaching the half-step Origin Core Realm, using that move will injure your Sacred Eye bloodline.¡±


    The expression of the Golden Sun family Head changed drastically and he sighed deeply.


    The more powerful the eye-bloodline technique, the more burden it placed on the eye-bloodline.


    For example, Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning Eye Flame wasn¡¯t suitable to be used more than three times consecutively, and this was Zhao Feng, who had quite a powerful eye-bloodline.


    The Three Eyed Saint only barely managed to even use the Dazzling Solar Sky Stars with the support of his father, but it could already destroy the Broken Moon Clan instantly.


    Boom! Boom!


    The entire area where the Tea Party was held shook like an avalanche.


    The spectators started to panic. They felt like an ant in front of this rain of golden streaks.


    Luckily, this attack was only locked on to a half-mile radius around Zhao Feng, otherwise over half of the spectators would have been injured or killed.


    ¡°What a powerful wide-range attack.¡±


    Facing this attack, Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning quickly flapped as he sped out of the area.


    Bo~~


    A blue ripple surrounded Zhao Feng, and the occasionally streak of light that scraped by him would be slowed down.


    A sudden faint purple aura radiated from the Wings of Wind and Lightning, making Zhao Feng¡¯s speed surge to an entirely new level.


    The faint purple aura was from the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet, and even a mere wisp allowed drastic changes.


    Shua!


    In just a blink of an eye, Zhao Feng was now close to the clouds, so the Dazzling Solar Sky Stars didn¡¯t threaten Zhao Feng much anymore.


    On the other hand, it was the spectators on the ground that screamed from this devastating attack.


    ¡°Extreme speed¡­. Looks like it¡¯ll be very hard for Sheng¡¯er to win.¡±


    The grass-hat elder sighed.


    If Zhao Feng could dodge a normal Three Eyed Divine Light, that was okay.


    However, if Zhao Feng could even dodge a wide-range attack like the Dazzling Solar Sky Stars, then they were helpless.


    Of course, the grass-hat elder could see that Zhao Feng could easily dodge the move because of his predictions and sharp senses.


    When the Three Eyed Saint was getting ready to use the skill, Zhao Feng made preparations of his own.


    Facing such a terrifying opponent whose senses were so strong along with utmost speed, the chances of the Three Eyed Saint winning were extremely small.


    ¡°Even if he can¡¯t win, all Sheng¡¯er needs to do is use his Divine Light of Destruction to defend and, with my support, it¡¯s possible for him to not lose.¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family gritted his teeth unwillingly.


    He immediately conveyed his tactic to the Three Eyed Saint through their eye-bloodline connection.


    ¡°Looks like that¡¯s all I can do. I must hold on to the title of the strongest eye-bloodline in the continent.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s heart fell. It wasn¡¯t important if he lost or not, but he was the Golden Sun family¡¯s top genius and his Sacred Eye bloodline¡¯s purity was only below the Three Eyed Heavenly Emperor¡¯s.


    If he lost, then the title of the strongest eye-bloodline would probably change hands.


    Unknowingly, the Head of the Golden Sun family¡¯s expectations for the Three Eyed Saint were lowering.


    In the beginning, they wanted to defeat Zhao Feng no matter what.


    Now, the best they could do was not lose.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the battle between us represents our eye-bloodlines. What¡¯s the meaning if all you do is evade?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint took a deep breath as he glanced at the blue-haired youth in the sky.


    Up till now, Zhao Feng was unharmed even after the Dazzling Solar Sky Stars attack.


    In terms of speed and offense, he had reached the limit of the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Good, good!¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    Shua!


    His figure flashed downward as his left eye turned azure.


    Weng~~


    A sharp glint appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!¡±


    Tuoba Qi and the ghost-eyed man looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and their hearts shook.


    The shape of Zhao Feng¡¯s left pupil was the same as the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s third eye¡¯s pupil.


    At that instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye started to condense an absolute power with perfect control.


    The eye-bloodline successors felt that Zhao Feng was preparing a unique skill made of countless atoms.


    ¡°What kind of move is this Zhao Feng trying to use?¡±


    The spectators held their breath.


    ¡°Such a powerful eye-bloodline strength¡­. Is this Zhao Feng¡¯s true power?¡±


    The hearts of the Three Eyed Saint and the Head of the Golden Sun family shook.


    If Zhao Feng used this much eye-bloodline power at the beginning, the Three Eyed Saint wouldn¡¯t have lasted up till now.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do so. Then what was his aim?


    ¡°I¡¯ve already said that I came with a humble heart to learn from and challenge the number one eye-bloodline family in the continent.¡±


    A calm voice sounded in the air.


    As soon as his words finished, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye sent out a dazzling beam of light.


    ¡°Divine¡­ Light¡­ of¡­ Destruction!¡±


    An azure beam of light flashed through the air, cutting through and disintegrating everything in its path.


    Before the light even got close, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.


    When they looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, they would feel like they had been cut up into countless pieces.


    ¡°How is this possible? The Divine Light of Destruction is the Golden Sun family¡¯s secret technique, how can that brat¡­?¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family was speechless.


    ¡°He¡­ how does he know my Divine Light of Destruction!?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint exclaimed in shock and used his own Three Eyed Divine Light at this critical moment.


    Qiu! Qiu!


    In the sky, a scorching red light and a cold blue light clashed together.

 518 One Step Away

    Boom!


    The two Divine Lights of Destructions clashed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Divine Light was a sharp cold blue light that came down from the sky, whereas the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s Divine Light was a hurried scorching light that could disintegrate everything in its path, including the soul.


    Sparks flew everywhere the instant the two lights met, but instead of wearing each other out, they passed each other after expending just a bit of their energy.


    This scene was unexpected by everyone, including the Three Eyed Saint himself.


    Qiu! Qiu!


    The two Divine Lights of Destruction passed right through one another.


    The difference between them was that Zhao Feng¡¯s Divine Light of Destruction was a purely physical attack while the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s was both a physical and a mental energy attack.


    On the peak of the faraway mountain.


    ¡°No, his Divine Light of Destruction isn¡¯t complete; it only contains the power to disintegrate physical attacks!¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family exclaimed.


    The complete Divine Light of Destruction could disperse both physical and mental energy attacks. However, maybe because Zhao Feng didn¡¯t spend very much time, his version only had the ability to affect the physical dimension.


    This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s Divine Light of Destruction dispersed the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s physical aspect from his own Divine Light of Destruction but had no effect in blocking the mental energy attack.


    However, at the same time, it allowed Zhao Feng¡¯s physical-based Divine Light of Destruction to possess overwhelming power.


    Thus came the strange scene of the two lights passing right by each other.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ Zhao Feng, you wanted to learn my Divine Light of Destruction, but you only learned one half of it.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint was overjoyed.


    Zhao Feng only managed to copy half of the Divine Light of Destruction¡¯s intent.


    The reason why the Sacred Eye bloodline of the Golden Sun family could counter most eye-bloodlines in the continent was because it specialized in both the physical and the mental dimensions, which meant that its attacks could counter most average secret techniques.


    ¡°One half is still enough to defeat you.¡±


    Zhao Feng said faintly.


    As soon as he finished saying that, the two Divine Lights of Destruction struck their respective targets.


    ¡°Not good, doesn¡¯t this mean both sides will be injured!?¡±


    Some of the spectators exclaimed.


    The expressions of the grass-hat elder and the Head of the Golden Sun family froze.


    ¡°A draw isn¡¯t too bad of a result.¡±


    The grass-hat elder said as he stroked his beard.


    Everyone saw a faint cold blue light strike the Three Eyed Saint. The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s figure shook as he circulated his Qi of True Spirit, forming a golden shield in order to block the cold blue light.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng stood unmoving and did nothing, letting the scorching light pass through his body.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, a mysterious whirlpool appeared at the center of the lake that let the scorching light do whatever it wanted.


    It was like a chainsaw trying to saw through water.


    ¡°How¡­ how is this possible!?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint felt his Divine Light of Destruction enter a deep lake. Zhao Feng completely ignored his Divine Light of Destruction.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    The ghost-eyed man and Tuoba Qi looked at each other and understood.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Divine Light of Destruction completely focused on the physical world; therefore, its power was greater in terms of physical attacks.


    That meant that the physical component of the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s attack was completely dispersed, leaving behind only the mental energy attack.


    However, Zhao Feng completely ignored the mental energy attack. Such was the biggest advantage of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, but his opponent didn¡¯t have the corresponding ability to ignore physical attacks.


    Sii!


    The Three Eyed Saint harrumphed as the remaining 30-40% power from Zhao Feng¡¯s Divine Light of Destruction was taken by him head-on.


    He needed to control his Divine Light of Destruction in addition to circulating his Qi of True Spirit for defense, whereas Zhao Feng only needed to focus on one of those.


    The difference in energy expenditure was huge.


    The cold blue light started to cut and disintegrate the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s body.


    In just two or three breaths¡¯ time, the Three Eyed Saint started screaming as small cuts appeared all over his body.


    ¡°I told you that I would be able to beat you with just half of the Divine Light of Destruction.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Indeed, he hadn¡¯t fully comprehended the Divine Light of Destruction yet, particularly because the mental energy component was much more complex.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need it.


    One had to know that the Three Eyed Saint possessed three or four soul-defending items that were made specifically to counter Zhao Feng.


    If Zhao Feng¡¯s attack contained a mental energy component, wouldn¡¯t that be a waste of his energy?


    Therefore, Zhao Feng decided to focus on the physical aspect in order to attack the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s weakness.


    ¡°Break~~~~!¡±


    A more powerful surge of eye-bloodline power was released from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye. He was finally using his true strength.


    Weng~~


    The ice-blue light became colder and sharper.


    ¡°Arghhhh!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint howled as his body was covered in bloody gashes.


    Bam!


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s body went flying and he landed in a pool of blood.


    Zhao Feng remained in the sky looking down, but he didn¡¯t continue attacking.


    At the same instant, the Tea Party was dead-silent. After that came the sound of cold breaths being drawn in.


    The ghost-eyed man and Tuoba Qi looked at each other.


    Not only was the Three Eyed Saint defeated, he was humiliated. He didn¡¯t lose to the opponent¡¯s eye-bloodline technique, he lost to his own Divine Light of Destruction.


    This made the others remember what Zhao Feng said earlier, ¡°I¡¯m here to learn with a humble heart and to challenge the number one eye-bloodline family.¡±


    On the faraway mountain.


    _Humble learning?_


    The grass-hat elder¡¯s face twitched, ¡°This Zhao Feng hid himself pretty deeply. He had the strength to win easily but acted ¡®humbly¡¯ to challenge Sheng¡¯er.¡±


    ¡°I already gave my eye-bloodline power to Sheng¡¯er¡­ but we were foiled at the last step!¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family roared unwillingly.


    According to the plan, with him supporting the Three Eyed Saint, the difference between his son¡¯s eye-bloodline strength and Zhao Feng¡¯s wouldn¡¯t be as obvious, so the chance of coming to a draw would be quite big.


    ¡°Who can you blame? This last step was decided by intelligence, not strength.¡±


    The grass-hat elder sighed.


    Hearing that, the Head of the Golden Sun family became silent and his heart became solemn.


    Zhao Feng controlled the situation clearly.


    Firstly, he purposefully hadn¡¯t fully comprehended the Divine Light of Destruction, only using half of its contents so it would be easier to control.


    After all, with the element of wind, the Divine Light of Destruction would be sharper; it was different from the element of light or fire.


    Zhao Feng copied the theory of the Divine Light of Destruction and used it with his own God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Secondly, the four soul-protecting items the Three Eyed Saint had on him increased the defense of his soul, but at the cost of his physical defense.


    Hua!


    After a momentary silence, the Tea Party exploded into discussion.


    There were too many factors involved in the battle between Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint.


    Only a very small number of people were able to sense the Head of the Golden Sun family behind.


    The topic of ¡°humble learning¡± was discussed amongst the people, and they finally understood Zhao Feng¡¯s intentions in challenging the continent¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t this mean that Zhao Feng¡¯s learned the secret techniques of all three major eye-bloodline families¡­!?¡±


    Someone exclaimed. The crowd instantly started to talk when this was said. They all took a deep breath as they glanced at the blue-haired figure in the sky.


    On top of the faraway mountain.


    ¡°All three major eye-bloodline techniques have been copied by him. Is that his true eye-bloodline ability?¡±


    The hearts of the Golden Sun family Head and the grass-hat elder shook.


    If Zhao Feng could copy the theory behind other eye-bloodlines, didn¡¯t that mean that, as long as there was no special restriction and his cultivation was high enough, there would be nothing that Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t copy?


    It could be imagined that the story of Zhao Feng ¡°learning humbly¡± would be told across the entire continent.


    ¡°Your eye-bloodline is unheard of. After this battle, not many people will be willing to fight you.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice sounded through the Dark Heart Seed.


    Zhao Feng felt uneasy due to the weird gazes coming from everyone below.


    ¡°It was my honor to spar with the successor of the Golden Sun family. I thank you for your pointers.¡±


    Zhao Feng bowed humbly and then told the others goodbye.


    His aim had been completed, so there was no more meaning to him staying behind.


    In this battle, Zhao Feng took the title of the continent¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline from the Golden Sun family, along with their secret technique.


    Wah!


    The Three Eyed Saint, who finally managed to sit up, spat out a mouthful of blood after hearing this.


    ¡°Fucking brat!¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family was as angry as thunder and his voice seemed to travel all the way to the area of the Tea Party.


    _Hmm?_


    The True Dragon geniuses seemed to hear something and turn toward a certain direction.


    ¡°Bastard, do you want to lose all the Golden Sun family¡¯s face?¡±


    Black lines appeared on the grass-hat elder¡¯s face as he pushed the Head of the Golden Sun family onto the ground.


    If the Three Eyed Saint lost, all they lost was the glory of being the continent¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline.


    Although they weren¡¯t first anymore, second wasn¡¯t so bad either.


    But if the world was to know that the Golden Sun family cheated and still lost, what face would they still have in the continent?

 519 Elder Assassination

    With the end of the clash between the two strongest eye-bloodlines in the continent, the Tea Party came to an end.


    Goddess Bing Wei and the Three Eyed Saint were both injured.


    At the Tea Party arena, the spectators and the True Dragon geniuses started to leave.


    Among them, the first to leave was the Lord Prodigy Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s goodbye was extremely hurried, as if there was some emergency. Before anyone even got to know the situation, Zhao Feng had already left.


    ¡°What¡¯s with Zhao Feng? Why¡¯s he leaving so suddenly?¡±


    Prince Jin and company from the Canopy Great Country were puzzled.


    Mo Tianyi, Cang Yuyue, Shi Chengtian, and company who knew Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even get to say goodbye to him.


    Many True Dragon geniuses had been waiting to congratulate Zhao Feng, but he already turned into an arc of lightning and disappeared.


    ¡°Jiang Sanfeng, does Zhao Feng have an emergency? Why did he leave so quickly?¡±


    Mo Tianyi, Shi Chengtian, and company asked.


    Their gazes all turned toward Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye of the Iron Blood Religion.


    No one knew Zhao Feng¡¯s intent in leaving so quickly.


    Right as the two from the Iron Blood Religion were pondering, a voice sounded in their minds, ¡°Go back with Mo Tianyi and the rest. I have an issue I need to take care of first.¡±


    At the same time, a similar voice sounded in Mo Tianyi, Shi Chengtian, and everyone else¡¯s minds.


    ¡°It¡¯s Zhao Feng!¡±


    ¡°Looks like he does have an emergency and has left already.¡±


    Everyone looked at each other with disappointment.


    Zhao Feng had already crushed the other three Overwhelming Prodigies, and now he had even defeated the Three Eyed Saint, the winner of two Sacred True Dragon Gatherings.


    At the same time, the title and glory of the continent¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline changed because of him.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s future was immeasurable. As long as he didn¡¯t die early, he would definitely become someone who controlled the fate of the continent.


    Everyone wanted to interact with such a genius while they were still young.


    On the faraway mountain, the Head of the Golden Sun family and the grass-hat elder had wariness, shock, and fear on their faces.


    The Head of the Golden Sun family even had killing intent in his eyes.


    ¡°If we go after him, we have a 60-70% chance of killing him.¡±


    The grass-hat elder turned and glanced toward the Head of the Golden Sun family.


    ¡°Only 60-70%?¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family couldn¡¯t believe it. He was a peak True Lord Rank and was almost unparalleled against those under the Origin Core Realm with his Sacred Eye bloodline.


    Although the grass-hat elder wasn¡¯t a Sovereign, he was already half a step away a hundred years ago. By now, he was much stronger than other half-step Origin Core Realm experts.


    If these two teamed up, they could fight two or three half-step Origin Core Realm experts.


    ¡°That brat specializes in speed and he¡¯s learned the three eye-bloodline techniques. Once we fail to kill him, the Golden Sun family won¡¯t be able to handle the aftermath.¡±


    The grass-hat elder said.


    Hearing this, the expression of the Golden Sun family Head changed.


    There was a certain amount of risk involved in trying to kill Zhao Feng. If they failed, the result would be unthinkable.


    Being a Lord Prodigy, Zhao Feng was very likely to reach and even surpass the level of Sword Saint Ye Wuxie, the Three Eyed Heavenly Emperor, and company.


    ¡°May I know your thoughts?¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family took a deep breath. He didn¡¯t know what to do.


    The risk was just too large.


    Of course, they hadn¡¯t even received news of the Iron Blood Religion Patriarch awakening. If they were to know that Zhao Feng had a Sovereign behind him, they wouldn¡¯t dare to consider killing him even if they had a hundred guts.


    ¡°The greater the risk, the greater the reward. It¡¯s just a matter of whether it¡¯s worth it or not. You are the Head of the Golden Sun family. You can decide.¡±


    The grass-hat elder smiled with deep meaning.


    Hearing this, the Head of the Golden Sun family seemed to understand something and started to think.


    Suddenly, a sharp light shot out from his eyes.


    ¡°You¡¯ve made a decision?¡±


    The grass-hat elder smiled and asked.


    The Head of the Golden Sun family took a deep breath, ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline is heaven-defying and its potential is immeasurable. He¡¯s younger than twenty years old and has already reached this level. If we¡¯re able to use the Eye Stealing Forbidden technique and take his eye, the future ruler of this continent may be the Golden Sun family.¡±


    ¡°Great! This is what the Head of a family should be.¡±


    The grass-hat elder nodded in praise, ¡°The Eye Stealing Forbidden technique is incomplete and the rate of success is less than five percent, but this small chance may change the fate of the Golden Sun family.¡±


    At this point in time, the Head of the Golden Sun family and the grass-hat elder were thinking along the same line.


    Those destined to make it big needed decisiveness.


    ¡°Follow him!¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family and the grass-hat elder turned into streaks of gold and silver as they shot into the clouds.


    ¡°Sacred Eye Inspection!¡±


    The third eye of the Golden Sun family Head opened, allowing him to see everything within two hundred miles.


    Even if Zhao Feng ran ten times further than that, the Sacred Eye bloodline could still track him.


    It was because of this that the two were slowly pursuing forward without going full speed right away.


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t gone far; he¡¯s only a hundred miles away.¡±


    The Sacred Eye bloodline of the Golden Sun family Head confirmed Zhao Feng¡¯s location.


    The cultivations of these two were high, so they slowly increased their speed as they headed toward where Zhao Feng was at.


    As the two got closer to Zhao Feng.


    Pipa!


    Wings of Wind and Lightning suddenly extended from Zhao Feng¡¯s back, resonating with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed instantly doubled as thunder boomed wherever he went.


    ¡°Not good, he sensed me! What a terrifying bloodline!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t let him run away.¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family and the grass-hat elder¡¯s expressions changed as they raised their speed.


    However, with the Wings of Wind and Lightning, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was much faster than theirs.


    They tried their best, but instead of catching up, the distance between them only dragged out further.


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic. This technique shouldn¡¯t be able to last very long. We¡¯ve cultivated for over a hundred years and our Yuan Qi is denser than his.¡±


    The grass-hat elder smiled confidently.


    ¡°Indeed.¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family nodded his head.


    In terms of stamina, they believed they surpassed Zhao Feng. On top of that, the Sacred Eye bloodline could still track Zhao Feng.


    Sou~~~~


    Zhao Feng flew very quickly. He instantly surged two hundred miles ahead.


    At this moment in time, a dark forest appeared in sight, only a few dozen miles away.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader.¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke as he slowed down; he seemed to be exhausted.


    ¡°You sure you want to do this?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was solemn.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t answer. He landed on the ground and casually walked into the depths of the forest.


    In the forest.


    Shua! Shua!


    Two blurry figures appeared on a large tree. One was a black-robed woman while the other was a figure wearing a crown.


    The air around the crown-wearing figure seemed to twist with darkness.


    ¡°Elder, that brat¡¯s heading toward us.¡±


    The female in black said.


    ¡°En¡­ the Scarlet Moon Division Leader Token is coming closer.¡±


    The Elder turned toward the direction of the token.


    Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!


    Steady footsteps were coming closer. It wasn¡¯t hard to see that the owner of the footsteps was coming with a specific target in mind.


    A weird light flashed through the Elder¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°Elder, should I capture him?¡±


    A cold intent was released from the woman in black.


    The Elder didn¡¯t speak.


    Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!


    The owner of the footsteps came into view. It was a blue-haired youth walking confidently.


    The killing intent from the black-robed woman was enough to make anyone under the Origin Core Realm feel threatened, but it seemed to have no effect on this youth.


    ¡°Brat, you just walked into a net. Give up. There¡¯s an Elder of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion here.¡±


    The woman in black transformed into several figures.


    Shua!


    With a flash, a cold ripple of air surrounded the blue-haired youth¡¯s neck.


    The blue-haired youth¡¯s footsteps stopped. If he moved the slightest bit, his head would fall onto the ground.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s entire body was enveloped in the air of death and he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. This person seemed like a mere slave and she already had strength comparable to Lu Tianyi.


    ¡°Blue-haired brat, why do you have the aura of a Division Leader on you? Kneel down to the Elder of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.¡±


    The woman in black appeared behind Zhao Feng like a ghost.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression still didn¡¯t change. When he heard ¡°Elder of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion,¡± he was shocked, but he concealed it as best as he could.


    ¡°Elder Assassination, we haven¡¯t seen each other for several hundred years. I hope you¡¯re well.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with the black-robed woman, he just glanced at the Elder shrouded in darkness on the tree.


    ¡°How do you know the Elder¡¯s title?¡±


    The woman in black was surprised while the figure wearing the crown was slightly surprised, ¡°You are¡­?¡±


    The two were both surprised. This blue-haired youth recognized him straight away?


    Was this youth also from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion? Or was he a disciple of the Demonic Religion?


    But if he was the descendant of a disciple, then he shouldn¡¯t have seen this Elder from several hundred years ago.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, Elder Assassination, who was the one who recommended you to the Patriarch back then? Three hundred years ago, who was the one who helped you when you and Protector Iron Bones were being pursued by Sword Saint Ye Wuxie?¡±


    Zhao Feng licked his lips and said in one smooth sentence.


    ¡°Ahh!?¡±


    The black-robed woman, who was holding Zhao Feng hostage, exclaimed.


    From his tone, it seemed as if this youth in front of her had a big history and was extremely familiar with Elder Assassination and was even at the same level as him.


    ¡°You¡¯re¡­ Division Leader Yougu!¡±


    Elder Assassination¡¯s body trembled as overwhelming joy appeared in his eyes.

 520 Strength of a Sovereign

    In the depths of the forest, Zhao Feng looked directly at Elder Assassination as a smile appeared on his lips.


    Elder Assassination was covered in darkness and seemed like a shadow.


    ¡°You¡¯re really Division Leader Yougu? Back then, didn¡¯t you¡­?¡±


    Joy appeared on Elder Assassination¡¯s face.


    Zhao Feng laughed, ¡°If even you can live to now, how could I have died?¡±


    Hearing that, the black-robed figure that was holding Zhao Feng hostage started to tremble uneasily.


    She never would have thought that this youth that wasn¡¯t even twenty years old was one of the Twelve Division Leaders.


    In the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, every Division Leader was extremely powerful. At their peak, one division was enough to fight one of the Ten Great Forces.


    The status of a Division Leader was about the same as an Elder.


    ¡°Division Leader, how did you become like this?¡±


    Puzzlement appeared in Elder Assassination¡¯s eyes. He was still suspicious.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng swiped his hand and a cold skeleton with red flames for eyes appeared.


    ¡°My old bones can¡¯t take it anymore. Controlling an Overwhelming Prodigy isn¡¯t a bad choice.¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke.


    The skeletal Division Leader behind him seemed to be dazed and didn¡¯t speak.


    There was a connection between him and the skeletal Division Leader through the Dark Heart Seed, and it seemed as if the skeletal Division Leader was controlling this Overwhelming Prodigy.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    The suspicion in Elder Assassination¡¯s heart went away.


    It wasn¡¯t hard for Elder Assassination to see that there was a connection between Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader.


    However, Elder Assassination would never have imagined that Zhao Feng was the one controlling the Division Leader.


    ¡°Division Leader Yougu, your mastery in mental energy was said to be one of the best in the continent. How come you haven¡¯t obtained full control over this brat¡¯s body yet?¡±


    Elder Assassination teased.


    From his perspective, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s mastery in the Dao of the Soul had reached a high level, so it shouldn¡¯t be very hard for it to take full control.


    ¡°Hmph, easier said than done. This brat¡¯s an Overwhelming Prodigy that¡¯s surpassed dozens of generations and just defeated the successor of the Golden Sun family not long ago.¡±


    Zhao Feng harrumphed and said in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s tone.


    After that, Zhao Feng started to speak from the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s perspective as he told the performance of ¡°this brat.¡±


    Elder Assassination and the black-robed woman looked at Zhao Feng in surprise. They finally realized that this blue-haired youth¡¯s history wasn¡¯t simple.


    His eye-bloodline had defeated the successor of the Golden Sun family and taken the title of the strongest eye-bloodline.


    ¡°This youth¡¯s talent is incredible. Even the successor of the Golden Sun family was defeated by him.¡±


    Elder Assassination was slightly envious that the skeletal Division Leader had obtained such a perfect body.


    Zhao Feng was someone who¡¯s bloodline and talent were top-tier, and he could have even surpassed the Scarlet Moon Patriarch and Sword Saint Ye Wuxie back in their time.


    ¡°You can probably sense how strong this brat¡¯s mental energy is. I¡¯ve only awakened for a year or two and I¡¯m extremely weak. I¡¯m already very lucky that I managed to enslave him.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed.


    Elder Assassination nodded his head after hearing this and had no more questions.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s source of mental energy was concealed, Elder Assassination could still faintly sense it.


    Shua!


    With a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng put the skeletal Division Leader away, ¡°The body I originally had is extremely weak and I want to take over this brat¡¯s body after I recover.¡±


    Elder Assassination and the woman had no more suspicions. They now thought of Zhao Feng as the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Division Leader, what¡¯s the connection between you and those two approaching people?¡±


    The woman in black asked.


    At the same time, she glanced warily at the two figures flying over.


    ¡°This brat defeated the strongest successor of the Golden Sun family and took away the title of the strongest eye-bloodline in the continent, bringing this misfortune upon himself¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng spat.


    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s been several hundred years and yet the Golden Sun family is still as shameless and disgusting as ever.¡±


    Elder Assassination harrumphed coldly.


    Right at that moment.


    Sou! Sou!


    The Head of the Golden Sun family and the grass-hat elder had arrived at the forest and looked down from above.


    ¡°Watch out for an ambush. This brat has the secret techniques of the three major eye-bloodlines¡­.¡±


    The grass-hat elder warned.


    The Head of the Golden Sun family didn¡¯t dare to underestimate him as the third eye on his forehead carefully scanned around.


    Soon, the Head of the Golden Sun family found Zhao Feng and a woman in black.


    The cultivation of the woman had reached the peak True Lord Rank, which surprised him.


    ¡°En, a measly peak True Lord Rank is nothing. Under normal situations, I can kill her instantly with my eye-bloodline.¡±


    The Sacred Eye bloodline of the Golden Sun family Head scanned over the forest, but he didn¡¯t find any other traces.


    The grass-hat elder also spread his spiritual senses and nodded his head.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family and the grass-hat elder turned into two streaks of light as they sped toward Zhao Feng and the woman in black.


    ¡°How dare you be so disrespectful toward the Division Leader?¡±


    The woman in black said coldly. She turned into a bunch of after-images as she sped toward the two newcomers.


    _What a weird skill!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved. The speed of the woman in black was almost as great as his Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    Her figure seemed to merge into the world of darkness.


    ¡°Misty Shadow Kill!¡±


    Ripples of blades flew through the air, aimed at the Head of Golden Sun family and the grass-hat elder.


    ¡°Watch out, she specializes in the Dao of Assassination.¡±


    The grass-hat elder warned. Even he became wary despite his half-step Origin Core Realm cultivation.


    Shuu!


    The Golden Sun family Head¡¯s leg was hit. If his reaction was a bit slower, it wouldn¡¯t have been just a small injury.


    In this short instant, both the Head of the Golden Sun family and the grass-hat elder were caught off guard.


    It wasn¡¯t as if the two had forgotten about her, they were just focused on Zhao Feng, who was just watching the black-robed woman.


    ¡°Three Eyed Divine Light ¨C Forbidden Spatial Illusion!¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family exclaimed as his third eye sent out a beaming light.


    Shu Shu Shu!


    Everything that was touched by the light turn to dust.


    Bo~~


    The woman in black was revealed and her speed was dramatically decreased, as if she was passing through mud.


    ¡°Not good, the Three Eyed Divine Light of the Golden Sun family!¡±


    The expression of the woman changed dramatically. A mist emanated from her figure that clashed with the Forbidden Spatial Illusion.


    However, being the former strongest eye-bloodline in the continent, how could it be broken so easily?


    Bam!


    The woman¡¯s body seemed to freeze and the mist around her was starting to fade.


    ¡°What a profound eye-bloodline. This is the Head of the Golden Sun family? His use of the Three Eyed Divine Light has reached an unfathomable level. If I had fought with him earlier, the result would be uncertain¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng was shocked.


    In terms of purity, the Head of the Golden Sun family wasn¡¯t as good as the Three Eyed Saint.


    However, in terms of how they utilized their bloodline, the Head of the Golden Sun family easily surpassed his son.


    Even a normal half-step Origin Core Realm expert might not be his match.


    Even though the woman in black was even stronger than Tiemo, she was completely suppressed.


    ¡°Dao of Assassination. It¡¯s your misfortune to meet the Sacred Eye of the Golden Sun family.¡±


    The third eye sent a stronger beam of light that broke through her defense, and she gritted her teeth unwillingly.


    Although she was strong, she was countered by the opponent¡¯s eye-bloodline.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye opened, and his body was surrounded by a ring of lightning as he prepared to save the woman in black.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your opponent is me.¡±


    An old voice sounded from the air.


    Zhao Feng suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure from the sky.


    _Silver Saint Demon Suppressing Technique!_


    A pair of silver palms descended from the sky, causing the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within several hundred miles to be drawn in.


    ¡°Half-step Origin Core Realm? Or is it a Sovereign?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. He was covered by an overpowering force that would make normal True Lord Ranks unable to move.


    Furthermore, two silver moons appeared in the grass-hat elder¡¯s eyes, and they clashed with Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    He also had an eye-bloodline.


    ¡°Even Lu Tianyi in the Purple Saint Ruins wasn¡¯t this strong.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became solemn.


    At this moment in time, his Source of True Spirit, his bloodline, and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye were circulated to the maximum.


    If he didn¡¯t dedicate all of his attention and didn¡¯t use the Ice Imperial Spear, he might not be the grass-hat elder¡¯s match.


    At the same instant.


    ¡°Save me!¡±


    The black-robed woman¡¯s defense was about to be shattered.


    ¡°No need to panic. It¡¯s just two little insects¡­.¡±


    A mysterious and ancient voice seemed to come from the darkness.


    Shua!


    A figure seemed to descend from the skies, and darkness devoured the forest.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!!¡±


    The bodies of both the grass-hat elder and the Golden Sun family Head froze.


    In the blink of an eye, it became pitch-black, and a large figure wearing a crown had appeared on top of them.


    This existence seemed to be the lord of darkness.


    ¡°Sov-¡­ Sovereign!!¡±


    The grass-hat elder felt the terrifying aura from the crowned figure and panicked.


    Shu! Shu!


    Within the world of darkness, two blades instantly passed through the bodies of the two people from the Golden Sun family and blood splattered everywhere.

 521 As Thin as Ice

    The forest seemed to have become twisted by a power that turned it from day to night.


    In the air, the bodies of the Golden Sun family Head and the grass-hat elder struggled.


    Shu! Shu!


    Two blades silently pierced through their bodies. The Head of the Golden Sun family didn¡¯t have any time to dodge. His life force was destroyed.


    ¡°You¡­.¡±


    The Head of the Golden Sun family raised his head and managed to see the figure of Elder Assassination.


    Plop!


    He fell down in a puddle of blood, his eyes full of fear and unwillingness.


    How could anyone want to die like this?


    On the other side, the grass-hat elder managed to move to the side by half an inch, but the blade still scraped his heart.


    ¡°A Sovereign in the Dao of Assassination¡­. You¡¯re Sovereign Assassination?¡±


    The grass-hat elder coughed up blood.


    The only thing he could do was raise his head and look at the crowned figure.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng stood unmoving as he suppressed the shock in his heart, ¡°This is the strength of a Sovereign?¡±


    It wasn¡¯t as if Zhao Feng had never seen a Sovereign before.


    He had seen a Sovereign at the Rising Dragon Auction, and the Iron Blood Religion Patriarch was also one.


    However, this was the first time he witnessed a Sovereign¡¯s actual strength.


    ¡°The Head of the Golden Sun family is definitely comparable to a half-step Origin Core Realm and the grass-hat elder is even stronger. Under normal circumstances, even I would find it difficult to escape from these two.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart didn¡¯t calm down for a long time.


    He originally thought that he was unparalleled under the Origin Core Realm and should be able to fight a few blows with an expert at the Origin Core Realm.


    Now, it seemed his estimation was way off.


    ¡°Elder Assassination isn¡¯t a normal Sovereign. He specializes in the Dao of Assassination and has killed many Sovereigns. His most glorious achievement was almost succeeding in assassinating Sword Saint Ye Wuxie.¡±


    The sound of the skeletal Division Leader appeared in his mind.


    __


    _Dao of Assassination._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    No wonder the Head of the Golden Sun family couldn¡¯t sense Elder Assassination even with his eye-bloodline. The two from the Golden Sun family were unable to dodge as the Sovereign cut them like radishes.


    ¡°Elder Assassination, I wouldn¡¯t have thought that you¡¯ve already recovered your strength. You¡¯re pretty efficient in finishing off these two shrimps.¡±


    Zhao Feng said casually and didn¡¯t seem to be surprised at all.


    _Two shrimps?_


    The black-robed woman¡¯s face twitched when she heard this.


    One of those that was attacked was the Head of the strongest eye-bloodline family and the other was an Elder whose strength surpassed normal half-step Origin Core Realms.


    However, Zhao Feng said what he did so casually. If it were him facing those two, he would most likely run away faster than a rabbit.


    ¡°Division Leader Yougu, if you recovered all your strength and used your mental energy techniques to control people, our strength would be equal.¡±


    Elder Assassination didn¡¯t find Zhao Feng¡¯s words weird.


    ¡°Division Leader Yougu, you¡¯re¡­!¡±


    The grass-hat elder¡¯s heart shook and his face was filled with helplessness, bitterness, and regret. If they had known beforehand that their target was a Division Leader, they wouldn¡¯t have tried to attack him even if they had a hundred guts.


    Plop!


    The grass-hat elder didn¡¯t manage to last any longer and died.


    Although Elder Assassination¡¯s attack didn¡¯t hit the grass-hat elder¡¯s heart directly, it was still easy for a Sovereign to kill a half-step Origin Core Realm in one blow.


    In just a few breaths, the Head of the Golden Sun family and the grass-hat elder had both fallen into puddles of blood.


    Neither the black-robed woman nor Zhao Feng had seen how Elder Assassination killed them.


    Shua!


    The dark night faded away, leaving behind only Elder Assassination.


    ¡°Division Leader Yougu, how did you offend the Golden Sun family? I heard that you were responsible for part of the Northern Continent.¡±


    Elder Assassination landed next to Zhao Feng, and such a close distance made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart turn cold.


    His current situation was like walking on a tightrope. Although Zhao Feng already guessed that the person that had been following him might be a Sovereign, he didn¡¯t expect it to be Elder Assassination, someone who specialized in the Dao of Assassination and someone that Zhao Feng might have no hope against.


    Under this situation, Zhao Feng had to act calm or else he would reveal himself.


    At the same time, he told the skeletal Division Leader not to make any random movements or he would kill it immediately.


    The skeletal Division Leader was obedient. It knew that Zhao Feng could kill it faster than Elder Assassination could kill Zhao Feng.


    ¡°The situation in the Northern Continent isn¡¯t very good¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed bitterly and told some information that the skeletal Division Leader had provided.


    ¡°The pressure the Middle Continent faces is even bigger¡­.¡±


    Elder Assassination shook his head.


    Zhao Feng also got to know some information from Elder Assassination.


    The Middle Continent was an extremely important place in the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯s plan, and most of its experts were here.


    Everything was done in order to deal with an enormous force ¨C the Sacred Alliance.


    ¡°Oh yeah, there¡¯s another Division Leader nearby. Do you want to meet him? Furthermore, the Patriarch is also in the Middle Continent and will exit seclusion soon.¡±


    What Elder Assassination said made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jump.


    He had accidentally stepped into the central headquarters of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    Knowing that the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯s Patriarch was also in the Middle Continent, Zhao Feng had the urge to instantly run away, but he knew that he couldn¡¯t panic.


    ¡°Sigh. I really want to meet the Patriarch, but if I don¡¯t take care of the trouble in the Northern Continent first, the result will be unthinkable. Furthermore, I need to recover my strength quickly.¡±


    Zhao Feng said helplessly as Elder Assassination¡¯s suggestions were all rejected.


    ¡°Oh well, it¡¯s not wrong for you to put the overall situation first.¡±


    Elder Assassination didn¡¯t force Zhao Feng.


    After that, the two figures exchanged secrets in the forest.


    In this process, Zhao Feng was treading on thin ice. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he had the Jade Dragon Protection, he wouldn¡¯t have easily tried out this plan.


    Half a month later, Golden Sun Sacred City.


    Sou!


    An indescribably powerful aura flew into Golden Sun Sacred City.


    _Who¡¯s there!?_


    The guards caught sight of a shining light descending from the sky.


    The shining light seemed to be the only thing in the world.


    ¡°Where is Zhao Feng?¡±


    The newcomer was a black-haired youth whose eyes were like stars.


    Every action and movement from the youth contained a powerful intent that made others unable to look at him.


    _Zhao Feng?_


    Many of the experts in Golden Sun Sacred City were shocked.


    The newcomer¡¯s aura was extremely powerful and he had a confidence that seemed to destroy everything.


    ¡°It¡¯s him¡­ Yu Tianhao!¡±


    Someone exclaimed as they recognized the youth¡¯s identity, and Golden Sun Sacred City broke into chaos.


    ¡°It¡¯s him! The other Lord Prodigy of the continent!¡±


    ¡°We just sent away that nightmare half a month ago and another one¡¯s appeared.¡±


    The members of the Golden Sun family felt helpless.


    Half a month ago, Zhao Feng took away their title of the continent¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline. This was already a critical hit for the Golden Sun family, and now someone on par with Zhao Feng appeared.


    In terms of fame, Yu Tianhao surpassed Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao, the Tea Party¡¯s already ended.¡±


    A slightly angry voice sounded from within Golden Sun Sacred City.


    Shua!


    A youth with golden hair and a third eye on his forehead appeared in the air. It was the Three Eyed Saint.


    After being defeated, his attitude was crappy and no one dared to offend him.


    More than a dozen people had already been killed by him.


    Therefore, the second the Three Eyed Saint appeared, everyone became silent.


    The Three Eyed Saint didn¡¯t give Yu Tianhao any face. The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s only opponent in the Tea Party was supposed to be Yu Tianhao, but he didn¡¯t even show up.


    The Three Eye Saint¡¯s defeat combined with the unknown whereabouts of his father compressed his anger.


    ¡°You are the Three Eyed Saint?¡±


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s eyes flashed and he seemed to know this youth¡¯s name.


    The Three Eyed Saint harrumphed coldly, ¡°Yu Tianhao, the tea from the Tea Party¡¯s already gone cold. Do you think I¡¯m someone easily bullied? Coming to challenge me after Zhao Feng?¡±


    ¡°No.¡±


    Yu Tianhao shook his head and said faintly, ¡°True Dragon Tea Party? I¡¯m not interested in that. I¡¯m here for Zhao Feng¡­. He¡¯s my only opponent.¡±


    Hearing this, the Three Eyed Saint, who had just calmed down, almost exploded from anger.


    _Ridiculous! Arrogant!_


    Zhao Feng had come with a ¡°humble¡± attitude to ¡°learn,¡± whereas Yu Tianhao was just arrogant.


    ¡°Does anyone know where Zhao Feng went?¡±


    Yu Tianhao glanced over the people, but no one dared to answer him in case they were later punished by the Three Eyed Saint.


    Yu Tianhao didn¡¯t stay any longer. He turned away as he murmured to himself, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go to the Canopy Great Country.¡±

 522 Returning Safely

    Seeing that he wouldn¡¯t be getting an answer, Yu Tianhao left Golden Sun Sacred City.


    He just turned around and left. The people in the city were surprised.


    It seemed as if Yu Tianhao wasn¡¯t interested in the Tea Party or even the Three Eyed Saint.


    ¡°Hmph, you want to leave just like that?¡±


    Anger appeared in the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eyes. The feeling of being underestimated ignited his anger.


    Sou!


    With a cold harrumph, he chased Yu Tianhao as a shining light radiated from his body.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    Yu Tianhao stopped in the air and looked coldly at the Three Eyed Saint.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao, we still haven¡¯t fought, you and me.¡±


    A gold ray of light shone from the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s body as his third eye opened.


    The transparent golden aura flowed through the air.


    The aura was so powerful that even the normal Overwhelming Prodigies wouldn¡¯t be able to it head-on.


    ¡°You¡¯re indeed worthy of winning the Sacred True Dragon Gathering twice, but this isn¡¯t your era anymore. Furthermore, the Golden Sun family¡¯s been defeated by my Yu family for the last several hundred years.¡±


    Yu Tianhao said regretfully.


    ¡°Naive brat. When I swept through the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, you were still trying to figure out how to wear your pants.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint laughed instead of getting angry.


    Although he had already heard of how arrogant Yu Tianhao was, reality still surprised him.


    One had to know that the Three Eyed Saint was the winner of two Sacred True Dragon Gatherings before Yu Tianhao, and he could be considered Yu Tianhao¡¯s senior.


    His cultivation and knowledge were both above Yu Tianhao¡¯s.


    ¡°Let¡¯s battle then.¡±


    Yu Tianhao said crisply as he emitted a surge of battle-intent.


    He obviously knew of the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s name and he knew that the latter was worthy of being his opponent.


    ¡°I shall take back the glory of the Golden Sun family.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s bloodline was ignited as his third eye locked on to Yu Tianhao.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s body became heavier as space seemed to become restricted by some kind of power.


    _Golden Void Dragon Sun Claw!_


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s hand stretched forward, sparkling with gold.


    Pa!


    The stunning claw seemed to make the space tremble and, combined with the restriction of his Sacred Eye bloodline, it formed a perfect attack.


    Even a peak True Lord Rank would be moved by this attack, unable to take it head-on.


    Yu TIanhao stood motionless, not making any signs to dodge. It didn¡¯t seem to matter that he was locked on by the Sacred Eye bloodline.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Without any thought, Yu Tianhao simply thrusted out his palm.


    A glow of spectacular light came from his palm. It seemed to become the center of the world, as if it was able to crush everything in its path.


    If Zhao Feng was present, he would be stunned. Yu Tianhao¡¯s intent seemed to be similar to a Sovereign¡¯s.


    However, Yu Tianhao¡¯s intent was representative of his body ¨C simple and straightforward.


    Bam~~~~ Crack!


    A loud explosion sounded, and everyone within Golden Sun Sacred City felt a wave of sand and dust blow toward them.


    Plop! Plop! Plop!


    Some of the spectators were sent flying by the gust of wind from the clash, and the True Spirit Realm spectators held their breath as they looked on.


    In the air, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s golden claw was instantly shattered.


    Wah!


    The Three Eyed Saint took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood in disbelief, ¡°Unparalleled Battle Technique? No, you¡¯ve seemed to merge the intent of some inheritance¡­.¡±


    ¡°Three Eyed Saint, if you don¡¯t use your true skill, you won¡¯t have the chance to later.¡±


    Yu Tianhao smiled.


    The Three Eyed Saint took a deep breath with a solemn expression. Before the fight, he thought that Yu Tianhao would be slightly weaker than Zhao Feng since he didn¡¯t have a monstrous bloodline like the latter, so his chances of winning should be higher.


    Only when they clashed did the Three Eyed Saint truly understand how terrifying Yu Tianhao and the Yu family were.


    No wonder his father and ancestors were suppressed by the Yu family.


    Even Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t defeat Yu Tianhao during the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°Three Eyed Divine Light ¨C Golden Crow World Smothering!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s third eye was like the sun as it gave off a bright beam of light.


    Wu~~


    A flaming golden crow flew through the sky and burned everything in its path.


    This attack seemed to burn the air itself.


    At this moment in time, the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s Three Eyed Divine Light secret technique was pushed to the maximum, burning both mental energy and the physical world.


    ¡°Hahaha! That¡¯s more like it.¡±


    Yu Tianhao laughed as he thrusted out another palm.


    _Unparalleled!_


    A mysterious palm that sizzled with coldness seemed to devour the land


    Boom~~~


    This palm resonated with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi as it crushed through everything that stood in its way.


    ¡°Oh my god!¡±


    The experts in Golden Sun Sacred City held their breath as their hearts jumped.


    Everything within several miles was covered by the palm. Even the moon and stars seemed to be devoured, losing their light.


    The Three Eyed Saint seemed infinitely small compared to this power.


    Even his father and the First Elder didn¡¯t give him such pressure.


    Although the Three Eyed Divine Light could disintegrate anything, his attack was blocked by layers of dominating force.


    What was more terrifying was that Yu Tianhao¡¯s palm even contained a powerful mental energy that crushed his Three Eyed Divine Light¡¯s mental energy dispersion ability.


    Bam~~


    In front of this palm, the Three Eyed Saint didn¡¯t even last more than two breaths before he was sent flying.


    Teng! Sou~~ Wah!


    His body flipped several times in the air and he spat out mouthfuls of blood. The pain coming from his entire body almost drove him crazy.


    ¡°How can this be the strength of someone at the True Lord Rank? Although his cultivation is almost at the late-stage True Lord Rank, no mental energy or intent under the Origin Core Realm can be compared to him.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint was stunned. The difference in cultivation between the two wasn¡¯t big, but Yu Tianhao¡¯s ¡°unparalleled¡± absolutely crushed his Three Eyed Divine Light.


    After retreating several hundred yards, the Three Eyed Saint managed to steady his body. His face was pale-white, and even his Sacred Eye bloodline seemed to face some kind of mental energy attack.


    ¡°You¡¯re not my match, even when you were at your peak.¡±


    Yu Tianhao said faintly.


    It was obvious he had seen that the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s bloodline power was slightly injured.


    After all, he fought Zhao Feng half a month ago and his injuries still hadn¡¯t recovered.


    ¡°Have you already opened the legendary Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint took a deep breath.


    ¡°Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline? I can only ignite that bloodline by fighting opponents stronger than me. You don¡¯t qualify.¡±


    Yu Tianhao smiled and flew away.


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s heart shook as his humiliation and anger disappeared.


    Yu Tianhao had utterly crushed him. He lost fair and square.


    The difference between Yu Tianhao and Zhao Feng was that Yu Tianhao was straightforward and didn¡¯t toy around.


    While Zhao Feng had an overwhelming advantage as well, he came with a ¡°humble¡± attitude.


    Of the two, the Three Eyed Saint admired Yu Tianhao more. Zhao Feng was just an evil thief.


    Golden Sun Sacred City.


    Everyone sent away Yu Tianhao with their eyes. Their hearts were unable to calm down.


    At this moment in time, everyone understood something.


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s era was indeed over. This era belonged to the two Lord Prodigies.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao¡¯s definitely gone to find Zhao Feng.¡±


    ¡°These two Lord Prodigies stand at the peak of dozens of generations, but who is the true king?¡±


    Excitement and expectation appeared on their faces.


    ¡°Jinyang Shengtian, I didn¡¯t think that the Azure Flower Continent had such terrifying geniuses. Even the top True Dragon geniuses of the Three Saint Palace are only at that level.¡±


    A thick-browed youth appeared next to the Three Eyed Saint. The Three Eyed Saint didn¡¯t reply, but his silence implied that he agreed.


    ¡°If I¡¯m able to recommend those two to the Three Saint Palace, that would be a big accomplishment.¡±


    The thick-browed youth continued. He seemed to be excited.


    ¡°Recommend them to the Three Saint Palace? No way!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint exclaimed.


    ¡°Jinyang Shengtian, this is a great chance for us. If the Sect rewards us, we might have a chance to break through.¡±


    The thick-browed youth was dissatisfied.


    ¡°First of all, Yu Tianhao definitely won¡¯t join the Three Saint Palace. The Yu family has a big background in the outside world and none of their geniuses have ever been sent to the Three Saint Palace. If I¡¯m not wrong, Yu Tianhao¡¯s in a rush to challenge Zhao Feng because he will leave the Azure Flower Continent soon and go to a mysterious force that might be even stronger than the Three Saint Palace.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint explained.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    The youth wasn¡¯t surprised. After all, the world was too big and the Azure Flower Continent was just a speck.


    ¡°But Zhao Feng definitely doesn¡¯t have such a background.¡±


    A smile appeared on the thick-browed youth¡¯s face.


    ¡°You can¡¯t do this! If that brat joins the Three Saint Palace, where will my face go¡­?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint almost exploded.


    If Zhao Feng was to join the Three Saint Palace, then his Sacred Eye bloodline would be nothing. Everything would disappear if Zhao Feng joined.


    Several months later, the Canopy Great Country, main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion.


    Qiu!


    An arc of lightning landed.


    ¡°I¡¯m finally back.¡±


    This person was a blue-haired youth who let out a breath.


    Thinking back to how he had talked to an Elder of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion at such a close distance, he still felt lucky.


    Fortunately, he checked around and found no signs that he was being followed.


    Now that he was back at the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion, he felt safe. After all, there was a Sovereign here.

 523 The Sovereign’s Questioning

    Zhao Feng had arrived even before Prince Jin and the others from the Canopy Great Country. Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye still were back yet.


    As soon as Zhao Feng landed, Deputy Patriarch Tiemo came out.


    ¡°How was the Tea Party?¡±


    Tiemo asked.


    To help Zhao Feng deal with the Three Eyed Saint, Tiemo had given a summary of the Golden Sun family¡¯s Sacred Eye bloodline.


    ¡°Not bad.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face as he talked about what happened at the Tea Party.


    Tiemo was overjoyed after listening, ¡°I didn¡¯t think that the title of the continent¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline would change because of you.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered that the Head of the Golden Sun family and their First Elder had chased him and were killed by Elder Assassination.


    __


    _Should I tell that to Tiemo?_


    Just as Zhao Feng was hesitating, a voice sounded next to their ears, ¡°Zhao Feng. Tiemo.¡±


    _Patriarch Hong._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. He had almost forgotten who the true ruler of the Iron Blood Religion was.


    A while later, Zhao Feng and Tiemo met Patriarch Hong in the underground palace.


    Patriarch Hong¡¯s face was ruddy and his aura was unfathomable.


    His every action and movement seemed to resonate with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and his intent was many times stronger than that of a True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I didn¡¯t think that you could have defeated the Three Eyed Saint and taken the title of the continent¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline.¡±


    Patriarch Hong praised.


    The Patriarch and the Deputy-Patriarch were extremely satisfied with Zhao Feng. It could be said that the youth who stood in front of them was the most talented eye-bloodline genius in the continent.


    Even the Ten Major Forces would do their best to raise such a prodigy.


    ¡°Patriarch Hong, is there anything else you need?¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected Patriarch Hong and found that his injuries were mostly healed.


    Once this Sovereign reappeared, there would be no other voice in the Canopy Great Country.


    ¡°70-80% of my strength has recovered and I¡¯ll go to the Sacred Alliance in a couple months. Have you thought about what I said last time?¡±


    Patriarch Hong smiled and asked.


    _What he said last time?_


    Zhao Feng soon remembered what it was.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, joining the Three Saint Palace will be beneficial to both you and the Iron Blood Religion. You need to understand that the islands nearby, including the Azure Flower Continent, are ruled by the Three Saint Palace.¡±


    Tiemo warned.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng started to hesitate and struggle.


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo looked at each other.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, do you have something that you can¡¯t say?¡±


    Patrarich Hong asked.


    Zhao Feng then told them about the situation with Liu Quixin.


    After hearing Zhao Feng¡¯s explanation, both Patriarch Hong and Tiemo understood. Liu Qinxin was Zhao Feng¡¯s fianc¨¦e, so it was reasonable that he would try to find the Sky Saint Qin Inheritance in the future.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng places a lot of importance on relationships¡­.¡±


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo looked at each other and sighed.


    In reality, there was another reason why Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t decide on joining the Three Saint Palace, and that was because of Zhao Yufei and the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Furthermore, he was interested in the Eight Great God Eyes that the Sage had talked to him about.


    All of that meant that Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t be restricted by any force.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we won¡¯t interfere in your decision, but you must be strong enough to leave this place and enter the outside world. You at least need to reach the half-step Origin Core Realm before you leave.¡±


    Patriarch Hong said.


    ¡°Thank you for your pointers.¡±


    Zhao Feng gratefully thanked him.


    The two didn¡¯t want Zhao Feng to risk his safety outside. It would be better if he stayed in the two-star Three Saint Palace.


    However, they respected Zhao Feng¡¯s decision.


    A Lord Prodigy who surpassed the geniuses of dozens of generations might be different from everyone else.


    Next, Patriarch Hong taught some common knowledge to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°In theory, a True Lord Rank is enough to cross the ocean and enter the outside world. That¡¯s the lowest requirement.¡±


    Patriarch Hong paused.


    _True Lord Rank?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved. There was only a small number of True Lord Ranks in the Canopy Great Country, and a strong country only had one or two.


    This also meant that many of the beings here were restricted.


    Furthermore, True Lord Rank was just the minimum requirement.


    ¡°The danger a normal True Lord Rank faces when going outside is quite high. Usually, only by reaching the half-step Origin Core Realm will the risk lessen a bit. Sovereigns are quite rare in the outside world and can safely roam around.¡±


    Patriarch Hong explained.


    In reality, Sovereigns frequently travelled to other islands, but those at the True Lord Rank wouldn¡¯t unless they were led by a Sovereign.


    For example, Patriarch Hong occasionally went to other islands nearby when he was at his peak.


    Three days later, Patriarch Hong shocked the world with his Origin Core Realm cultivation.


    Within half a month¡¯s time, the news had stunned the entire upper echelon of the Canopy Great Country.


    On a certain day, Patriarch Hong even went to give the Imperials a personal visit.


    The Imperials were silent and had no objections anymore.


    ¡°From today onwards, Patriarch Hong will be the country¡¯s Grand Duke. The Iron Blood Religion shall be the country¡¯s religion. Being the Iron Blood Religion¡¯s enemy shall mean becoming the enemy of the Imperials¡­.¡±


    The Emperor helplessly made this decision.


    Once a Sovereign appeared, the eight forces of the Canopy Great Country had no voice of their own.


    Without a doubt, the Iron Blood Religion had become the country¡¯s top force. Even without Patriarch Hong appearing, Zhao Feng and Tiemo were enough to suppress the Imperials.


    With a Sovereign, the Iron Blood Religion wasn¡¯t far away from being a one-star sect, they just needed to meet a few extra requirements.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t care about all that though. He had left the main headquarters ten days ago to find some places to cultivate.


    Half a month later, after Patriarch Hong had reappeared to the world.


    Sou!


    A bright beam of light descended from the sky. A powerful aura accompanied it, making the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion panic.


    Even Deputy Patriarch Tiemo felt pressured.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡±


    The experts of the Iron Blood Religion reacted, getting into a formation as they looked coldly at the black-haired youth in the sky.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao!¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng and a few others recognized him and explained.


    The black-haired youth was Yu Tianhao, who had come all the way from Golden Sun Sacred City.


    ¡°Is Zhao Feng here?¡±


    Yu Tianhao casually scanned over the crowd, and everyone who looked at him felt as if their hearts had been struck.


    Even someone as strong as Tiemo was unable to face Yu Tianhao¡¯s gaze head-on.


    ¡°This Yu Tianhao¡¯s much stronger than expected.¡±


    Tiemo was shocked.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao, you didn¡¯t come at the right time. Deputy Patriarch Zhao left ten days ago. Apparently, he went to find a quiet place to cultivate.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng said.


    ¡°When will he return?¡±


    Yu Tianhao decided to stay at the Iron Blood Religion for a while. If he lost this chance, he might never have the chance to fight Zhao Feng again.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao? You are Yu Xingchen¡¯s son?¡±


    An old voice sounded in Yu Tianhao¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Sovereign!¡±


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s expression froze as he said in a deep tone, ¡°This junior greets senior Hong.¡±


    In the Azure Flower Continent, there was a limited number of Sovereigns and they all knew each other.


    Seeing that there was a Sovereign here, Yu Tianhao¡¯s actions became more respectful and he waited quietly.


    In the underground palace.


    ¡°Brother Hong, it seems like Yu Tianhao¡¯s here with not-so-good intentions. In the entire continent, probably only he can move Zhao Feng¡¯s position. This battle would decide the number one genius in the continent.¡±


    Tiemo said in a worried tone.


    Patriarch Hong nodded his head solemnly, ¡°Yu Tianhao¡¯s father is extremely strong even among the Sovereigns, and even the Three Saint Palace is wary of the Yu family¡¯s background.¡±


    ¡°Brother Hong, who do you think would win between Yu Tianhao and Zhao Feng?¡±


    Tiemo asked the important question.


    ¡°If Yu Tianhao hasn¡¯t ignited his Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline, he only has a 40% chance of winning against Zhao Feng. After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and eye-bloodline are incredibly powerful. But, if Yu Tianhao¡¯s ignited the legendary Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline, then his chances of winning will reach 50-60%¡­.¡±


    Patriarch Hong replied.


    Being a Sovereign, Patriarch Hong¡¯s senses were extremely sharp.


    If that wasn¡¯t the case, he wouldn¡¯t have seen fit to give Zhao Feng the Ball of Ice Soul and the Dark Eye Incomplete Page the first time they met.


    In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen days passed by.


    ¡°Hehe, Patriarch Hong, long time no see. I hope you¡¯re doing well.¡±


    A white-robed old daoist floated down.


    The instant he descended, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi stopped, then flowed toward him like a stream.


    Only those at the True Mystic Rank or above could sense this subtle change.


    In a guest room within the headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion.


    ¡°Another Sovereign!¡±


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s expression changed.


    ¡°Hahaha, Dao Sovereign Baiyun? We haven¡¯t met for several hundred years and you have the time to come here?¡±


    A scarlet-haired elder flashed out and greeted the white-robed old daoist. It was Patriarch Hong.


    This Dao Sovereign Baiyun had appeared back at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    ¡°Dao Sovereign Baiyun! The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Yuan Clan!¡±


    Only a small number of people like Tiemo recognized Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s identity.


    Soon, Dao Sovereign Baiyun, Patriarch Hong, and Deputy Patriarch Tiemo sat together in a hall.


    ¡°Dao Sovereign Baiyun, you probably didn¡¯t come to the Iron Blood Religion just because it was on the way, right?¡±


    Patriarch Hong¡¯s eyes flashed. The two knew each other since they were both Sovereigns, but they weren¡¯t very familiar with each other.


    ¡°I came this time to meet Zhao Feng.¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun went straight to the point.


    _Meet Zhao Feng?_


    Patriarch Hong and Deputy Patriarch Tiemo looked at each other. Another one?


    Yu Tianhao came for the same reason and still hadn¡¯t left yet.


    Tiemo thought about it and soon knew the intention of Dao Sovereign Baiyun.


    As expected, ¡°My disciple Yufei and Zhao Feng went into the unknown inheritance together.¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun soon explained his intention. It was within expectations.


    He wanted to personally question Zhao Feng about the whereabouts of Zhao Yufei as well as her situation.


    ¡°¡­Zhao Feng returned safely, but there¡¯s still no news from my disciple. Although Tianyi brought some news back, I still have some questions.¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s voice started to become cold and his powerful spiritual sense started to spread across the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion.

 524 Long Seclusion

    A couple breaths later, the entire main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion had been scanned by Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s spiritual sense.


    Within the main headquarters, all the members of the Iron Blood Religion felt a powerful mental energy pass over them, and the pressure made them unable to breathe.


    This was Dao Sovereign Baiyun doing his best to locate Zhao Feng short of using his full strength, otherwise some of the weaker True Spirit Realm cultivators would be coughing out blood.


    ¡°Senior, Zhao Feng really isn¡¯t here. He¡¯s gone out a while ago and no one knows where he¡¯s headed.¡±


    Tiemo shook his head and sighed.


    He still remembered the scene of the little thieving cat flipping its coins while sitting on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder as he left.


    However, it was obvious that Dao Sovereign Baiyun didn¡¯t really believe him, or else he wouldn¡¯t have spread his spiritual sense around the entire headquarters.


    ¡°Behind Dao Sovereign Baiyun is the Heavenly Yuan Clan, one of the ten strongest forces on the continent.¡±


    Tiemo sweated for Zhao Feng.


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s status was high even amongst Sovereigns, and he was extremely knowledgeable.


    Patriarch Hong might not have been a match even when he was at his peak, let alone now that he still hadn¡¯t fully recovered.


    On top of that, being one of the ten strongest forces and a one-star clan, the Heavenly Yuan Clan¡¯s strength surpassed the Iron Blood Religion by far.


    ¡°That brat really isn¡¯t here?¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun retracted his spiritual sense and was slightly apologetic toward Patriarch Hong.


    His actions just now were disrespectful, but he didn¡¯t use his full strength since he was wary of Patriarch Hong.


    In his search, even though he didn¡¯t find his target, he ended up finding Overwhelming Prodigy Yu Tianhao.


    ¡°Tianhao, you¡¯re also here?¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun had a smile and was courteous.


    Shua!


    Yu Tianhao stepped into the room. His speed and intent surpassed normal half-step Origin Core Realms.


    ¡°Hehe, so you¡¯re also here to find Zhao Feng?¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun was surprised when he received his answer.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, but I can¡¯t stay for too long.¡±


    Yu Tianhao replied.


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun couldn¡¯t help but think, _Yu Tianhao¡¯s father, Yu Xingchen, is one of the strongest among the Sovereigns, and their background isn¡¯t simple._


    It was extremely easy for Yu Tianhao to enter the Three Saint Palace with his talent. He could have joined ten years ago but he didn¡¯t.


    In the blink of an eye, another several months had passed.


    Canopy Great Country, Transverse Water Area.


    At the top of a tall misty mountain that was surrounded by green grass and a stream sat a blue-haired youth.


    The mist around him sparkled with lightning and swirled with a knife-like sharpness.


    The youth didn¡¯t move at all as arcs of lightning flashed around him. Looking closely at these arcs of lightning, there was a faint purple aura that took up one-tenth of the original azure color.


    These faint purple auras gave off a destructive feeling, and just a wisp of them made anything within several miles feel uneasy and panicky, just like how beasts would instinctively feel something if there was about to be a disaster.


    As time passed, the wisps of the purple auras merged into the azure lightning.


    Weng~~


    A ball of lightning formed on the blue-haired youth¡¯s palm. At the core, there was a faint purple color.


    In that instant, the azure ball of lightning¡¯s aura doubled in power and, although it looked calm, the space around it seemed to twist.


    The chaotic and destructive aura radiating from it caused everything within ten miles to be dead-silent.


    Miao miao!


    A small silver-grey cat appeared on the youth¡¯s shoulder, awakened by the aura.


    ¡°This purple lightning is extremely strong. Comparing it to the same quantity of azure lightning, it was dozens of times stronger.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed with excitement.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension of the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet was increasing as time passed.


    Normally, this purple-colored lightning needed the cultivation of the half-step Origin Core Realm to comprehend, but Zhao Feng¡¯s source of mental energy was so strong that he even tried to comprehend it before he reached the True Lord Rank.


    Now, the strength of Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was comparable to a Sovereign¡¯s and his mental energy was on par with someone at the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    Over the past couple months, his comprehension of the purple-colored lightning had progressed a lot.


    Weng~~


    The core of the lightning ball was faint purple while the outer layer was azure. The two colors slowly started to merge together and, with the purple color at the core, the ball of lightning was far stronger than before.


    A smile of satisfaction appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. One had to know that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even use the true purple-colored lightning against the Three Eyed Saint; he only used it to avoid the eye-bloodline techniques.


    Compared to before, Zhao Feng¡¯s purple lightning had doubled in power, and it could be merged with the azure lightning, giving him better control.


    Shuu~~~


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and the purple aura in the middle of the ball instantly disappeared.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been cultivating for more than two months after Patriarch Hong came out. I wonder what the situation is like in the Canopy Great Country?¡±


    Zhao Feng remembered his duty as Deputy Patriarch.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat stood on his shoulder and threw a couple old bronze coins into the air. Then it shook its head.


    ¡°Hmm? You want me to continue cultivating¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng paused.


    He went out this time because of the little thieving cat. He sort of believed the little thieving cat¡¯s ability to avoid danger and misfortune.


    If he was back at the Iron Blood Religion where there were a lot of problems he needed to attend to, his cultivation progress wouldn¡¯t be as good as it was now.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng listened to the little thieving cat this time.


    ¡°En. With Patriarch Hong ¨C a Sovereign ¨C guarding the Iron Blood Religion, there shouldn¡¯t be anything for me to worry about.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes once more.


    For the next couple days, he started to test out how to incorporate his Wind Lightning Inheritance into some actual combat techniques.


    Ten days later, Zhao Feng met a bottleneck in terms of the Wind Lightning Inheritance.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat threw its coins and shook its head once more.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    He changed direction and merged his consciousness into the Ice Imperial Spear.


    This time, he focused on his bloodline power and comprehending the Ice Imperial Spear¡¯s contents.


    A month later, Zhao Feng let out a long breath.


    When he opened his eyes this time, there was a powerful belief glowing from them.


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had actually entered seclusion for three or four months straight.


    ¡°I¡¯ve never been in seclusion for so long.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think about the past. He didn¡¯t even take half a year to cultivate from the Second Rank of the Consolidated Realm to the Seventh Rank.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat threw its old coins and still recommended Zhao Feng not to return to the Iron Blood Religion.


    ¡°I¡¯ve reached bottlenecks in every aspect. There won¡¯t be any effect if I stay in seclusion.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head.


    This was the longest time he had ever spent in seclusion. The Wind Lightning Stone Tablet, the Ice Imperial Spear, and his eye-bloodline had all reached bottlenecks that he wouldn¡¯t be able to break through in the short term.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    A layer of lightning covered Zhao Feng as he flashed through the air.


    Several days later, the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion.


    An azure-purple figure flashed down from the clouds, landing in front of the great hall with a destructive aura.


    However, the second he arrived, Zhao Feng could feel something was wrong, and his heart suddenly felt extremely uneasy.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if you hadn¡¯t come back soon, I would have left.¡±


    A voice filled with battle-intent sounded from another section.


    Zhao Feng looked toward that direction and saw a black-haired youth sitting on top of a hall.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao?¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised. Why was Yu Tianhao here?


    Right as he was surprised, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby started to move, forming a powerful aura.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, this old one¡¯s been waiting for several months.¡±


    An old voice with cold intent sounded from the top of a building.


    Shua!


    A white-robed elder appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    _Sovereign!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body stiffened. He felt every action was harder than before.


    ¡°May I ask senior¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that this white-robed elder was familiar.


    ¡°I¡¯m the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Yuan Clan and Zhao Yufei¡¯s master.¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun harrumphed coldly.


    _Yufei¡¯s master? Dao Sovereign Baiyun?_


    Zhao Feng finally realized why Dao Sovereign Baiyun had come.


    However, before Zhao Feng could say anything else, another powerful ice-cold aura on par with Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s appeared.


    Sii!


    Zhao Feng hiccupped and felt as if his bloodline was frozen.


    _Another Sovereign? Who is it?_


    Zhao Feng felt that this aura was familiar as well.


    Raising his head, he was stunned by what he saw.


    In the clouds, there was a beauty holding a staff of ice. She was wearing a crown and she seemed like the goddess of snow.


    ¡°Mystic Ice Queen!¡±


    Zhao Feng took in a cold breath as he recognized the other Sovereign¡¯s identity.


    This beauty holding the ice staff was the ruler of the Mystic Ice Palace and she had appeared at the Northern Star Stand.


    Confusion flashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes. He could guess Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s intentions, but the only one connected to both him and the Mystic Ice Queen was her disciple ¨C Goddess Bing Wei.


    However, the enmity between Zhao Feng and Goddess Bing Wei belonged to the realm of the younger generation, and it wasn¡¯t really that bad anyway, so that wouldn¡¯t cause the Mystic Ice Queen to personally come.


    Sou! Sou!


    The figures of a male and a female appeared on her left and right. It was a golden-haired youth and a beauty.


    ¡°Three Eyed Saint, Goddess Bing Wei!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pupils contracted.


    He had his guesses after seeing the Three Eyed Saint.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, is my father¡¯s death related to you in any way¡­?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s voice was cold and forceful.

 525 The True Culprit is Here!

    At this point in time, there were enemies all around Zhao Feng, and none of them were weak.


    Above him was the Mystic Ice Queen, who was flanked by the Three Eyed Saint and Goddess Bing Wei on her left and right.


    In front of him was the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Yuan Clan, Dao Sovereign Baiyun.


    Behind him was Yu Tianhao, who was waiting to battle.


    Any one of these people could cause chaos in the Cloud area. Dao Sovereign Baiyun and the Mystic Ice Queen both stood at the peak of the continent.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng¡­ what kind of people did you offend?¡±


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo were sweating for Zhao Feng and there was worry in their eyes.


    The unexpected appearances of all of these people at the same time dazed Zhao Feng momentarily.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, is my father¡¯s death related to you in any way¡­?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s question was extremely sudden, and it contained hatred and killing intent. His third eye seemed to burn as it glowed with a golden light.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. From the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s tone, it seemed as if he already something that made him suspicious, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t come to question Zhao Feng straight away like this.


    ¡°Three Eyed Saint, don¡¯t randomly accuse people without any evidence.¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng shouted.


    Tiemo smiled, ¡°Three Eyed Saint, the Canopy Great Country hasn¡¯t even received news of your father¡¯s death yet. How would it be related to Zhao Feng?¡±


    Hearing this, many people in the Iron Blood Religion agreed.


    Most of them were puzzled. The Golden Sun family was based in the Middle Continent, and the Head of the Golden Sun family was an expert of the older generation whereas Zhao Feng was a junior not even twenty years old.


    The two shouldn¡¯t have any enmity to speak of.


    ¡°Evidence? Many people saw my father and First Elder follow Zhao Feng. After that, my father and First Elder never returned.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s third eye locked on to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Three Eyed Saint, how do you know your father¡¯s dead?¡±


    Patriarch Hong questioned.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. This was a critical question.


    ¡°In that period of time, my eye-bloodline became uneasy. According to the records of the Golden Sun family, only someone whose bloodline is connected to someone else with a Sacred Eye bloodline who has suffered misfortune would have this feeling.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s tone became sad and the crowd turned quiet.


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun, Patriarch Hong, and company were all extremely knowledgeable and could sense the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s bloodline sensations.


    Being the former strongest eye-bloodline family, the Golden Sun family¡¯s bloodline was extremely famous, and this ¡°feeling¡± had appeared more than once or twice before.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t doubt the Three Eyed Saint. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had its own abilities and it was extremely sensitive to danger.


    Furthermore, the Head of the Golden Sun family and the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s Sacred Eye bloodlines were directly related.


    ¡°Back then, I was injured by Zhao Feng and couldn¡¯t delve further into that sensation. But a month after my father¡¯s disappearance and searching everywhere, I finally found the last remaining aura of his bloodline in the depths of the forest. Only someone from the Golden Sun family would¡¯ve been able to sense it.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint took a deep breath after speaking up to here.


    His eyes became bloodshot as he stared at Zhao Feng, as if he was certain that Zhao Feng was the culprit.


    Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.


    ¡°Firstly, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t present and he left without his companions.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s eyes scanned coldly over Jiang Sanfeng and Die Ye, and their hearts jumped.


    Indeed, Zhao Feng left the city very suspiciously.


    ¡°Secondly, there are witnesses that saw the Head of the Golden Sun family follow Zhao Feng.¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei raised her hand.


    Shua! Shua!


    Three figures jumped out from a corner. There were two males and a female. One of them had reached the True Mystic Rank and the other two were at the True Human Rank.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we saw the Head of the family and a grass-hat-wearing elder follow Zhao Feng.¡±


    The three confirmed.


    Instantly, Zhao Feng received suspicious gazes.


    All these signs and evidence indicated that the death of the Golden Sun family Head was connected to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if you¡¯re innocent, why did you leave so suspiciously? What did you do alone? What happened after those two followed you?¡±


    Goddess Bing Wei pressed onwards.


    Zhao Feng remained expressionless and silent.


    ¡°Dao Sovereign Baiyun, you can be our witness. This Zhao Feng is too suspicious. If the Iron Blood Religion doesn¡¯t give a satisfactory answer, we can capture and question him together.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen smiled toward Dao Sovereign Baiyun.


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo cursed in their hearts. The Mystic Ice Queen was too cunning. A single Sovereign might not be able to threaten Zhao Feng, but she asked Dao Sovereign Baiyun for help.


    Once they teamed up, even Patriarch Hong wouldn¡¯t be able to save Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Patriarch Hong, the Golden Sun family Head¡¯s death and the whereabouts of my disciple are too suspicious. I think you should explain everything to us.¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun didn¡¯t immediately choose sides, glancing at Patriarch Hong instead.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. Dao Sovereign Baiyun wasn¡¯t nice either. Although he didn¡¯t immediately team up with the Mystic Ice Queen, he was using the momentum to pressure the Iron Blood Religion.


    At this point in time, Patriarch Hong and Tiemo indeed felt pressured by the two Sovereigns.


    The Iron Blood Religion had just risen and it was facing danger already.


    One had to know that the Mystic Ice Palace and Heavenly Yuan Clan were both members of the Ten Great Forces.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I believe you aren¡¯t the culprit and this isn¡¯t related to you. If they¡¯re bent on troubling us, the members of the Iron Blood Religion will not bow their heads to anyone.¡±


    Patriarch Hong¡¯s gaze turned toward Zhao Feng.


    It was obvious that, in addition to the two Sovereigns wanting an explanation, Patriarch Hong wanted to know the answer as well.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we believe Deputy Patriarch Zhao isn¡¯t the culprit.¡±


    Everyone in the Iron Blood Religion was supportive. Everyone believed their Deputy Patriarch.


    These voices made Zhao Feng feel warm.


    However, he smiled instead, ¡°How do you all know that I¡¯m not the culprit?¡±


    Hearing this, everyone went silent.


    Patriarch Hong, Tiemo, Jiang Sanfeng, and company all paused.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t deny it.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to protect me. The Golden Sun family Head¡¯s death¡­ is indeed related to me.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed.


    _He admitted it!_


    Everyone stared with open mouths. The Mystic Ice Queen, the Three Eyed Saint, and Goddess Bing Wei were all dazed.


    They had pushed onward so they could disrupt Zhao Feng¡¯s heart and find more flaws in order to find the truth.


    But Zhao Feng just admitted it.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡­¡±


    Tiemo panicked. Was Zhao Feng scared of the Iron Blood Religion being troubled?


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Patriarch Hong suddenly couldn¡¯t see through Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how did my father die!? Who helped you!?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s eyes were blood-red as he roared.


    At this moment in time, everyone¡¯s gazes landed on Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Helped?¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered, ¡°I am more than enough for those two. Why would I need helpers?¡±


    _What!?_


    Everyone¡¯s hearts shook as they looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen shook her head and laughed coldly.


    ¡°Impossible! Even normal half-step Origin Core Realm experts aren¡¯t my father¡¯s match, and First Elder is unparalleled under the Origin Core Realm!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint shook his head.


    All of the experts here knew how strong the Head of the Golden Sun family and the First Elder were.


    Even the Three Eyed Saint didn¡¯t believe Zhao Feng could defeat those two. They guessed that Zhao Feng might be related to it, but there would definitely be helpers behind him.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, what reason did you have to kill the Head of the Golden Sun family?¡±


    Patriarch Hong sighed.


    _Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng. Even if you really were the culprit, you didn¡¯t need to admit it. Without evidence, the Mystic Ice Queen can¡¯t do much._


    ¡°It¡¯s simple. They wanted to kill me but they were killed by me instead. You can only blame them for not being strong enough.¡±


    Zhao Feng replied.


    ¡°This means that¡­ you killed them out of self-defense.¡±


    Tiemo exclaimed.


    _Self-defense!_


    The hearts of everyone in the Iron Blood Religion jumped while the Mystic Ice Queen and company¡¯s expressions changed.


    If this was true, then it was acceptable; if he didn¡¯t kill them, he would be killed instead.


    The Golden Sun family wouldn¡¯t have a strong claim since they planned to murder Zhao Feng first.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, why would my father kill you!?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint raged.


    ¡°Hehe, do you even need to think about it?¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed, and everyone understood.


    Zhao Feng had defeated the Three Eyed Saint and taken the title of the continent¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline.


    This was reality.


    The Head of the Golden Sun family had attacked out of jealousy and hatred.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Zhao Feng is correct. There¡¯s no reason for Zhao Feng to kill the Head of the Golden Sun family, but the Golden Sun family would love for Zhao Feng to die!¡±


    Patriarch Hong roared with laughter and caused the air to tremble.


    ¡°Ridiculous! What evidence do you have?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    If Zhao Feng had killed them out of self-defense, everything would be acceptable. It would become a problem between Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint, which meant that the Mystic Ice Queen and Dao Sovereign Baiyun couldn¡¯t help him take vengeance.


    At the very least, Dao Sovereign Baiyun wouldn¡¯t stand on their side.


    ¡°Evidence? Aye, there are three witnesses. Didn¡¯t they see the Head of the Golden Sun family chase after me?¡±


    Zhao Feng mocked and pointed toward the three witnesses.


    The color of the witnesses¡¯ faces instantly turned grey. Just a moment ago, they pointed out how the Head of the Golden Sun family and the First Elder pursued after Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Kekeke, Three Eyed Saint¡­ if you want to take revenge, feel free to come at me.¡±

 526 Lord Prodigies Standing Together

    ¡°Kekeke, Three Eyed Saint¡­ if you want to take revenge, feel free to come at me.¡±


    Zhao Feng mocked.


    ¡°You~~~~!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint was so angry that his body started trembling and his third eye started twitching.


    _Don¡¯t be rash!_


    Goddess Bing Wei gritted her teeth as she restrained the Three Eyed Saint.


    In reality, her hatred for Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t any lesser than the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s, but she knew that the Three Eyed Saint wasn¡¯t Zhao Feng¡¯s match. Even if they teamed up, they still might not win.


    ¡°Arrogant!¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen harrumphed in the air and her Origin Core Realm mental energy pressure crushed downward.


    In that instant, the entire upper echelon of the Iron Blood Religion lost the ability to breathe.


    Zhao Feng stood motionless as his hair blew in the wind. He coldly gazed at the Mystic Ice Queen without showing any signs of weakness.


    After the four months of seclusion, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had increased by leaps and bounds. Although he wasn¡¯t as strong as a Sovereign, he believed he wouldn¡¯t be helpless against one.


    ¡°When did this brat¡¯s soul became so strong?¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun was secretly surprised.


    The Mystic Ice Queen also obviously realized that Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was extremely strong and that he didn¡¯t fear the mental energy pressure of a Sovereign.


    The soul was the source of all consciousness and it was extremely hard to strengthen. The stronger the soul, the easier it was for one¡¯s mental energy strength to increase.


    Zhao Feng only had the cultivation of a True Lord Rank but his soul¡¯s strength had exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations.


    ¡°Before the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul wasn¡¯t this strong.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s heart moved. After entering the mysterious inheritance, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and cultivation had both increased dramatically.


    Thinking up to here, the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s eyes became fiery.


    In reality, the Three Eyed Saint was only one of the reasons she was here.


    What truly moved her was the unknown inheritance.


    Shua!


    A sudden scarlet-red figure that was radiating a bloody aura interposed itself between the Mystic Ice Queen and Zhao Feng.


    It was Patriarch Hong.


    ¡°Mystic Ice Queen.¡±


    Patriarch Hong spoke, ¡°Being a Sovereign of the older generation, are you going to interfere between Zhao Feng and the Three Eyed Saint? Zhao Feng killing the Head of the Golden Sun family was only because of self-defense. When did the Mystic Ice Palace become so unreasonable?¡±


    ¡°Patriarch Hong¡¯s indeed recovered some of his strength¡­.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s expression changed slightly. Even if it weren¡¯t for the matter of something called righteousness, Patriarch Hong would still do his best to protect Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was a rare prodigy even looking at the entire continent, and he was part of the Iron Blood Religion. The Heavenly Yuan Clan and the Mystic Ice Queen would do the same thing if they were in this situation.


    ¡°I just think it¡¯s a bit suspicious. Zhao Feng has the strength to kill the Golden Sun family¡¯s Head and First Elder? Furthermore, Sheng¡¯er is my Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s fianc¨¦. What¡¯s wrong with me trying to help him?¡±


    A smile appeared on the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s face.


    _Goddess Bing Wei¡¯s fianc¨¦?_


    Many people were surprised. Although it could be used as an excuse, it was somewhat unreasonable.


    After all, the Head of the Golden Sun family was the one to attack first.


    ¡°Are you doubting my strength? If you don¡¯t believe me, you can send two half-step Origin Core Realm experts from the Mystic Ice Palace to try me.¡±


    Zhao Feng licked his lips and seemed excited.


    Everyone broke out into discussion after hearing that.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s arrogant tone was extremely disrespectful toward the Sovereign, and many questioned his abilities.


    Everyone believed that it was possible for him to defeat a normal half-step Origin Core Realm, but killing two of them was too much.


    ¡°Where does this brat¡¯s confidence come from? Can he really kill two half-step Origin Core Realms?¡±


    The confidence Zhao Feng displayed made the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s side stunned.


    If they didn¡¯t believe it, they could try.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t scared of the challenge, but the Mystic Ice Queen and the Heavenly Yuan Clan wouldn¡¯t use the lives of two half-step Origin Core Realm experts to joke around.


    ¡°Everyone, Zhao Feng did indeed kill the Head of the Golden Sun family, but this is a personal problem between these two. If anyone dares to enter the fray, I shall not just sit around and watch.¡±


    Patriarch Hong¡¯s voice sounded.


    The Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s expression changed, but she soon had a plan and glanced toward Dao Sovereign Baiyun.


    ¡°Dao Sovereign Baiyun, both you and I want to question Zhao Feng. Why not team up and capture him?¡±


    The two looked at each other as they interacted with their spiritual sense.


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun glanced deeply at the Mystic Ice Queen but didn¡¯t immediately respond.


    Even though the ¡°truth¡± had already come out, the Mystic Ice Queen still wanted to question Zhao Feng. From this, one could see her true intent.


    Facing the mysterious inheritance, even Sovereigns were interested.


    It was obvious that the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s true purpose wasn¡¯t the truth.


    The Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s glance at Dao Sovereign Baiyun didn¡¯t escape Patriarch Hong.


    ¡°Looks like the Mystic Ice Queen is here with ill intent.¡±


    Patriarch Hong¡¯s heart shook.


    After a couple breaths and a glance at each other, Dao Sovereign Baiyun and the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s figures flashed.


    Shua! Shua!


    The two came in from opposite directions toward Zhao Feng and Patriarch Hong in the middle.


    ¡°Dao Sovereign Baiyun, what is the meaning of this?¡±


    Patriarch Hong¡¯s expression changed.


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun smiled and spoke in a calm tone, ¡°I only want to know the specifics of how Yufei is doing, nothing more.¡±


    A cold smile appeared on the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s face.


    How could Dao Sovereign Baiyun reject her offer of working together?


    On one side was the Iron Blood Religion that had just risen and on the other was one of the Ten Major Forces. Dao Sovereign Baiyun would obviously rather offend the former than the latter.


    Furthermore, he wanted to question Zhao Feng anyway.


    This situation instantly put the upper echelon of the Iron Blood Religion into a battle-ready mindset.


    The hearts of Patriarch Hong and Tiemo were burning, but two Sovereigns exceeded what the Iron Blood Religion could deal with.


    However, Zhao Feng himself didn¡¯t panic at all.


    Right at this moment, an expressionless voice sounded, ¡°No one can interfere with the battle between Zhao Feng and myself.¡±


    This voice came from a cold black-haired youth.


    _Yu Tianhao!_


    Everyone was slightly dazed. They had forgotten about this Lord Prodigy.


    Shua!


    Yu Tianhao appeared next to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao, you¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t understand. This was his own problem. Why was Yu Tianhao coming?


    ¡°I won¡¯t allow you to be harmed before our battle in any way. Any enemy of Zhao Feng will have to go through me.¡±


    Yu Tianhao stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Zhao Feng.


    Yu Tianhao wasn¡¯t scared at all facing the two Sovereigns. On the contrary, his blood was boiling with excitement and battle-intent.


    The invisible battle-intent surpassed the limit of his cultivation.


    In that instant, the hearts of the two Sovereigns shook.


    Putting cultivation aside, the battle-intent coming from Yu Tianhao alone could shake those at the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Terrifying!¡±


    ¡°Is this the legendary Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline?¡±


    Wariness appeared in the eyes of the two Sovereigns. The Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline was definitely a forbidden legend, and the two were also wary of Yu Tianhao¡¯s father and the Yu family¡¯s background.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao, I don¡¯t mind you joining, but this is my problem. How can I let you stand at the front?¡±


    Zhao Feng took a step forward.


    In that instant, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye opened and radiated an aura of mental energy.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­? How can his eye be so strong?¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s Sacred Eye bloodline started to feel pressured.


    Even the two Sovereigns were slightly dazed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline strength had reached a level where it could move even those at the Origin Core Realm.


    _Since when did the Azure Flower Continent have such monstrous geniuses?_


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy and soul as well as Yu Tianhao¡¯s battle-intent formed a momentum that surprised even those at the Origin Core Realm.


    Both of their auras could move Sovereigns.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Everyone under the Origin Core Realm felt their hearts shake.


    _Crazy!_


    The two Lord Prodigies teamed up, and their opponent wasn¡¯t a True Lord Rank or a half-step Origin Core Realm expert, but a Sovereign that stood at the peak of the continent.


    ¡°Your suggestion isn¡¯t bad. My bloodline seems to be burning.¡±


    Excitement appeared on Yu Tianhao¡¯s face.


    Although he was arrogant, he knew that the chances of him defeating a Sovereign alone was extremely low. But if he teamed up with Zhao Feng, anything was possible.


    The situation had instantly changed. Yu Tianhao, who originally wanted to challenge Zhao Feng, had instead teamed up with him and stood back-to-back with Patriarch Hong.


    Patriarch Hong faced the Mystic Ice Queen while Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao faced Dao Sovereign Baiyun.


    ¡°Maybe they can really do this.¡±


    Patriarch Hong felt a powerful belief from them. It was as if they could accomplish anything.


    Their confidence and momentum even had signs of being able to suppress a Sovereign.


    Looking at these two Lord Prodigies, all three Sovereigns suddenly felt old.


    The hot-blooded battle-intent of a youth was something they would never possess anymore.


    It was because of this that Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao were Lord Prodigies. When the Sovereigns were in their youth, there would probably only be people who looked up to them.

 527 Sovereign Compromising

    In the air, Dao Sovereign Baiyun and the Mystic Ice Queen were slightly dazed.


    No one doubted the strength of the two Lord Prodigies or their ability to create miracles.


    The merging of their momentum and battle-intent made the hearts of the three Sovereigns move.


    _Maybe these two together can actually challenge a Sovereign._


    Tiemo thought, even though logic told him that the chance of victory was extremely low.


    Patriarch Hong¡¯s eyes twinkled and he felt hot-blooded, as if he was seeing himself from back then in Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao.


    However, even when he was young, he wasn¡¯t as courageous as Zhao Feng or Yu Tianhao.


    Challenging a Sovereign! Patriarch Hong jumped up in fright from their actions. They were too courageous!


    But the battle-intent radiating from them was shocking.


    Being a Sovereign, Patriarch Hong obviously knew the difference between the True Lord Rank and the Origin Core Realm.


    One could see that difference when Elder Assassination killed the Golden Sun family Head and First Elder.


    However, being Lord Prodigies that stood at the peak of dozens of generations, they were already a miracle.


    Although logic dictated winning wasn¡¯t very likely, Patriarch Hong believed in and was expectant of them.


    ¡°You two need to think things through.¡±


    Patriarch Hong said slowly with deep meaning.


    Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao weren¡¯t moved, but the Mystic Ice Queen and Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s expressions changed ¨C Patriarch Hong was talking to them.


    The expressions of the two Sovereigns started to become solemn. They didn¡¯t dare to underestimate the combination of Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao.


    Like Patriarch Hong, they didn¡¯t really believe that two Overwhelming Prodigies combined would be enough to fight a Sovereign, but Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao¡¯s battle-intent kept on challenging their thoughts; maybe they really _could_ do it.


    These two were Lord Prodigies that surpassed dozens of generations. Even Sovereigns didn¡¯t doubt their abilities.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I heard that you and Yufei were childhood friends. Why do you and I have to be like fire and water?¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun sighed as his aura disappeared.


    Most of the figures from the Iron Blood Religion let out a breath, but they felt puzzled.


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo looked at each other and smiled.


    In this instant, a Sovereign had taken a step back.


    ¡°This Dao Sovereign Baiyun actually stepped back¡­.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen gritted her teeth. However, facing the two Overwhelming Prodigies, even she had thoughts of retreating.


    In terms of momentum, the two Lord Prodigies even had signs of suppressing a Sovereign.


    No one wanted to be the enemy of both Lord Prodigies.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao¡¯s current accomplishments surpassed even the Scarlet Moon Patriarch and Sword Saint Ye Wuxie when they were in their youth.


    If there were no accidents, these two would become rulers of the continent.


    They were Sovereigns of the older generation and there wouldn¡¯t be much glory in defeating these two youths. Furthermore, it was highly likely they would be enemies of these two Lord Prodigies from now.


    And if they came to a draw¡­ or even lost?


    Those were situations that the two Sovereigns didn¡¯t want to happen the most, and they felt that there was at least a possibility of one or the other happening.


    That meant that only bad things could happen to the Sovereigns if they fought, so it was no wonder why Dao Sovereign Baiyun would step back.


    ¡°Senior Baiyun, we can discuss Yufei¡¯s situation in private.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline power was taken back a bit as well.


    The reason they hadn¡¯t already talked about it was mainly because the Sovereign was acting all high and mighty.


    Zhao Feng obviously wouldn¡¯t act warm toward him with that attitude.


    However, after facing the confidence of the two Lord Prodigies, Dao Sovereign Baiyun finally put away his superiority and wanted to talk.


    ¡°Sure, I also want to see the person that Yufei admires.¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun smiled warmly and nodded.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng and Dao Sovereign Baiyun came to an understanding, the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s expression changed.


    ¡°Dao Sovereign Baiyun, you actually believe him? In front of fortune and treasure, who knows what people are capable of? Zhao Feng came back from the mysterious inheritance and your disciple didn¡¯t. How can you be sure that he didn¡¯t kill her?¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen smiled.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s expression froze and he was unhappy.


    ¡°I¡¯m just worried that you¡¯ll be tricked by this brat¡¯s one-sided tale. I believe that even Patriarch Hong is interested in the mysterious inheritance. All of us can know its secrets.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s tone was harsh.


    The whole point of her and Dao Sovereign Baiyun teaming up was for the unknown inheritance. Now that she was going to be excluded, she was obviously angry.


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun couldn¡¯t help but hesitate. He didn¡¯t want to offend the Mystic Ice Queen and the Mystic Ice Palace either.


    Furthermore, he thought that the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s words weren¡¯t without reason.


    ¡°If Senior is suspicious of me, I¡¯ll say just four words to change your mind and prove myself.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t step back.


    ¡°Which four words?¡±


    The three Sovereigns and everyone else all turned toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Ten. Thousand. Ancient-¡°


    Zhao Feng said, emphasizing each word.


    ¡°Wait, wait, wait! I believe you!¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s expression changed drastically and he immediately stopped Zhao Feng.


    Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    Zhao Feng was stopped after the third word.


    The other two Sovereigns and experts started to think, but they weren¡¯t exactly sure.


    ¡°Let¡¯s discuss in private.¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun glanced deeply at Zhao Feng.


    Only Dao Sovereign Baiyun and one other Sovereign in the Clan knew about Zhao Yufei¡¯s bloodline.


    Even Zhao Yufei herself didn¡¯t know about it before because it was kept hidden in Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s heart.


    He didn¡¯t dare to reveal this secret because the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline was too shocking. Even the Heavenly Yuan Clan might not be able to handle the consequences.


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng and Dao Sovereign Baiyun flashed into a hall.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is quite interesting. I await the day I fight with him.¡±


    Yu Tianhao watched them disappear into the hall as he took out a mysterious token that glowed with an unknown sensation before sighing, ¡°Unfortunately, I don¡¯t have much time.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen gritted her teeth and was extremely unwillingly.


    She knew that Zhao Feng had already gained Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s trust and she wouldn¡¯t have a share in the unknown inheritance¡¯s secrets.


    ¡°Goodbye.¡±


    Patriarch Hong said emotionlessly.


    Tiemo let out a long breath. The danger finally passed.


    Of the two Sovereigns, one made peace with Zhao Feng while the other left in anger.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao, thank you.¡±


    Tiemo smiled and said.


    He knew that Yu Tianhao¡¯s background played a huge part in Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s decision to step back.


    ¡°I¡¯m not helping the Iron Blood Religion, just Zhao Feng.¡±


    Yu Tianhao wasn¡¯t respectful at all and Tiemo instantly felt awkward.


    ¡°Hahaha!¡±


    Patriarch Hong and company started to laugh. Yu Tianhao didn¡¯t give Tiemo any face at all.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng and Dao Sovereign Baiyun were within the hall while everyone else waited outside.


    Patriarch Hong, Tiemo, Yu Tianhao, and company were all interested in the mysterious inheritance, but Zhao Feng was only willing to share the secrets with Dao Sovereign Baiyun.


    Within the hall.


    ¡°...you¡¯re saying that because Yufei has the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, she was chosen by the spirit to become the successor of that inheritance?¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun was half-happy and half-worried.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t reveal any specifics, he just summarized the overall situation.


    Zhao Yufei had asked Zhao Feng to tell Dao Sovereign Baiyun that she was well.


    Of course, knowing that the inheritance was being eyed by three two-star sects, Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s hairs stood straight up.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that Yufei¡¯s situation would be so dangerous.¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun was unable to calm down.


    ¡°I hope that Senior will keep this a secret and not tell any other person, or else disaster may befall the entire Azure Flower Continent.¡±


    Zhao Feng emphasized.


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s heart shook.


    This secret was the same as Zhao Yufei¡¯s Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline and couldn¡¯t be revealed.


    If Dao Sovereign Baiyun didn¡¯t want to bring trouble to the Heavenly Yuan Clan, he would keep his mouth shut.


    Of course, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t talk about another big secret ¨C the Purple Saint Token.


    With the Purple Saint Token, Zhao Feng could interact with the Purple Saint Ruins and even return there.


    The two walked out a while later.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was the same as usual, but Dao Sovereign Baiyun¡¯s emotions were unstable and he seemed to be shocked.


    Although Patriarch Hong, Tiemo, and company were curious, they didn¡¯t ask.


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun didn¡¯t immediately leave. Instead, he stayed behind and talked to Patriarch Hong about an alliance between the Heavenly Yuan Clan and the Iron Blood Religion.


    Patriarch Hong was extremely surprised. Being one of the Ten Major Forces, the Heavenly Yuan Clan asked to become the Iron Blood Religion¡¯s ally?


    At the same time, a battle between Overwhelming Prodigies was about to unfold.


    On a mountain hundreds of miles away.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I don¡¯t have much time. After this battle, I will leave the Azure Flower Continent. I hope you don¡¯t disappoint me¡­.¡±

 528 The Appearance of Purple Destruction

    On a mountain located several hundred miles away from the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion.


    ¡°Is it about to begin?¡±


    Jiang Sanfeng, Die Ye, and company glanced at the two figures with excitement.


    Around the mountains were many members of the Iron Blood Religion upper echelon, including the Deputy Patriarch, the Protectors, the Elders, and the Chapter Leaders.


    Everyone was looking forward to the battle about to unfold.


    Shua! Shua!


    Two powerful auras appeared at the bottom of the mountain that seemed to be the center of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby.


    ¡°Patriarch!¡±


    ¡°Senior Baiyun.¡±


    The spectators felt their hearts become heavy from the pressure. The two newcomers were Patriarch Hong and Dao Sovereign Baiyun.


    The hearts of Jiang Sanfeng and company shook. They didn¡¯t think that a battle between juniors would be enough to cause even Sovereigns to come over specifically to watch.


    Right at this moment, the battle began.


    The first to attack was Yu Tianhao with his classic move.


    ¡°Unparalleled!¡±


    A strong surge of mental energy intent came from Yu Tianhao¡¯s palm.


    Boom!


    A stunning light flashed through the sky, and it seemed to be able to suppress everything in its path.


    The laws and the intent contained within this move were similar to that of a Sovereign¡¯s.


    The hearts of the spectators below shook and their faces went red.


    ¡°Of course, that¡¯s Yu Tianhao alright.¡±


    ¡°With that level of comprehension, it¡¯s not impossible for him to become a Sovereign within ten years.¡±


    The eyes of Patriarch Hong and Dao Sovereign Baiyun lit up.


    In front of that palm, Zhao Feng was extremely small and his resistance seemed futile.


    Of course, that was just a feeling from looking at the attack. Zhao Feng¡¯s soul-strength was actually stronger than Yu Tianhao¡¯s.


    ¡°Eye of Ice Soul ¨C Ice Soul Shooting Line!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye turned ice-blue as it shot out a half-transparent blue light.


    The blue light radiated a bone-chilling coldness that landed on Yu Tianhao.


    Boom!


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s body froze as a cold sensation travelled throughout his body and even into his mental energy dimension.


    His entire body went cold and his attack stopped.


    _Break!_


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s battle-intent became a blade that slashed the cold into pieces, and the mental energy coldness from the Ice Soul Shooting Line was crushed by Yu Tianhao.


    At the same time:


    _Claw of Wind and Lightning!_


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and a giant claw that sparkled with a faint purple lightning clashed with Yu Tianhao¡¯s attack.


    Bam~~~~~~


    The lightning and the beam of light clashed, releasing an aura of destruction.


    Zhao Feng was pushed back a couple steps from the shockwave.


    The move that defeated everyone in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was just taken care of by Zhao Feng.


    The spectators watched with bulging eyes.


    ¡°No one can compare to Zhao Feng¡¯s control of a situation.¡±


    Tiemo said.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s offense was extremely strong, and only a small number of half-step Origin Core Realm experts could block his attack without being injured.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t allow Yu Tianhao to do as he pleased. Zhao Feng used his Ice Soul Shooting Line to weaken the Yu Tianhao¡¯s defense.


    At this point in time, Yu Tianhao had only just managed to block the effect from the Ice Soul Shooting Line.


    Shua!


    Before he could even attack, chains of wind and lightning started to surround Yu Tianhao and restrict his movement.


    _So fast!_


    Everyone could only see a blue-haired youth suddenly appear next to Yu Tianhao and limit his movements.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s expression changed. The numbing sensation of the lightning and the pressure of the wind put him at a disadvantage.


    _Unparalleled secret technique ¨C Chaotic Dancing Spring and Autumn!_


    A glow of light radiated from Yu Tianhao and he seemed to become a war god as he attacked with rings in every direction.


    At this moment in time, each and every punch and palm from Yu Tianhao contained a powerful mental energy intent.


    Even Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t stop the continuous crashing of Yu Tianhao¡¯s intent. If it were a normal peak True Lord Rank, their defenses would be broken in a wave or two since Yu Tianhao¡¯s intent was similar to a Sovereign¡¯s.


    Crack!


    The chains of wind and lightning around Yu Tianhao were shattered.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed. A ball of lightning started to condense in his palm, which then started to spin around a small purple light.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Tornado!¡±


    The ball of wind and lightning suddenly expanded, forming a tornado that exceeded a hundred yards in width.


    Hu~~~~~


    The enormous tornado released a destructive aura that engulfed Yu Tianhao¡¯s Unparalleled Chaotic Dancing Spring and Autumn.


    Within a couple breaths, the mountain was devoured by the tornado.


    Boooom!


    Craters that were dozens of yards wide would be left wherever the tornado went.


    ¡°Everyone, watch out!¡±


    Some of the upper echelon members of the Iron Blood Religion panicked. Normal True Spirit Realms would die if they were accidentally hit by part of the battle.


    _Unparalleled secret technique - Chaotic Dancing Spring and Autumn!_


    Yu Tianhao was like a god of war as he sealed everything around him, and the tornado that Zhao Feng released was soon taken care of.


    ¡°I can¡¯t let him get close.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. Yu Tianhao destroyed everything in his path and Zhao Feng had no advantage in close combat.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng turned into a blur of light as he instantly pulled away by one or two-hundred yards.


    However, Yu Tianhao wasn¡¯t a normal opponent and he instantly chased after Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Unparalleled in the World!¡±


    Yu Tianhao radiated a powerful aura.


    Whoosh~~~~~~


    A mysterious cold light crushed everything in its path.


    In that instant, even the sun and moon seemed to lose their color in front of this palm.


    The expressions of the two Sovereigns changed slightly.


    All of the spectators felt their hairs stand up, and they felt like even a god would die from this blow.


    This same attack was used in Golden Sun Sacred City, but the power now was more than double than before.


    ¡°What a powerful strike!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart trembled faintly, and he couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath as a small faint purple core appeared on his palm, which merged with the surrounding lightning.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!¡±


    The two Sovereigns below felt an extremely destructive aura and their hearts jumped.


    The small purple core was Zhao Feng¡¯s purple-colored lightning and around it was the azure-colored lightning.


    When its aura was released, every being within ten miles fell silent.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning Destruction!¡±


    The faint purple core in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm merged with the azure lightning and transformed the attack into a beam of azure and purple.


    Boom~~~~~


    The two attacks started to devour and destroy each other.


    The spectators clicked their tongues. They couldn¡¯t even see their figures anymore. All they could see was a cold light and a purple-azure lightning intertwining.


    Several breaths later, the destructive aura faded.


    Shu!


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s figure shook and a few bloody scorch-marks were left on his body.


    At the same time, the cold beam of light pressed forward onto Zhao Feng.


    Bam!


    The dominating power instantly sent Zhao Feng flying as blood spurted from his mouth.


    Di! Da!


    A mysterious ripple of water appeared on top of Zhao Feng¡¯s body that instantly healed his faint wounds.


    Below the mountain, the spectators were holding their breath and were unable to calm down.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s lightning seems to contain the laws of Destruction.¡±


    Patriarch Hong and Dao Sovereign Baiyun looked at each other, extremely surprised.


    The power of Destruction in that attack was extremely small in quantity, but it already shocked the two Sovereigns. If there was several times more, then the result would¡¯ve been unimaginable.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao¡¯s palm just now was enough to severely injure a half-step Origin Core Realm. Luckily, Zhao Feng has cultivated that power of Destruction¡­.¡±


    Tiemo let out a breath.


    Zhao Feng currently had the advantage mainly due to the fact that his bloodline was capable of healing and faint injuries would instantly recover.


    Therefore, in the scenario that their power was about the same, Zhao Feng had the advantage.


    _Wind Lightning Eye Flame!_


    Before Yu Tianhao could attack, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye turned azure and a faint purple flame flashed from his eye.


    Whoosh!


    A half-transparent fire radiating an aura of Destruction whistled through the air and landed on Yu Tianhao.


    Yu Tianhao harrumphed as he fell into a dangerous situation.


    After the Wind Lightning Eye Flame was fired using the purple-colored lightning, it contained the ability to destroy life and it was extremely hard to recover from. In addition, this fire would even erode the soul itself.

 529 Unparalleled Heaven Battling Bloodline

    With his absolute control of the situation, Zhao Feng quickly forced Yu Tianhao into danger.


    Something like this had never happened with recent Sacred True Dragon Gatherings, but the existence of these Lord Prodigies was a miracle in itself.


    ¡°The Deputy Patriarch¡¯s got the upper hand¡­.¡±


    Everyone below held their breath as their eyes twinkled in excitement.


    ¡°The power of the purple-colored lightning is quite strong indeed.¡±


    Zhao Feng floated in the air as his clothes rippled in the wind.


    In his seclusion, his understanding and comprehension of the purple-colored lightning had increased by leaps and bounds.


    His Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning Destruction and his Wind Lightning Eye Flame contained the purple-colored lightning, and the power surpassed everyone¡¯s knowledge.


    Despite Zhao Feng¡¯s early-stage True Lord Rank cultivation, either of those two moves could severely injure or even kill someone at the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    On the other side.


    Whoosh~~~~


    Within just a breath¡¯s time, Yu Tianhao¡¯s injury worsened. The Wind Lightning Eye Flame¡¯s power travelled into his mental energy dimension and started to burn it.


    Both Yu Tianhao¡¯s body and soul were injured. If it were someone without his incredible battle-intent, they would have already been severely injured.


    ¡°If this continues, Yu Tianhao might lose very quickly.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s improvements are shocking.¡±


    The eyes of the two Sovereigns shone.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s advantage came from his battle tactics and control.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you indeed haven¡¯t disappointed me.¡±


    The bloodline of the flame-covered black-haired youth seemed to ignite.


    Wu~~~


    A mysterious, cold, and faint figure seemed to merge with Yu Tianhao¡¯s body, covering him in dazzling lights that shot straight up into the sky.


    The faint figure that merged with Yu Tianhao could only be sensed through mental energy.


    _Destroy!_


    Yu Tianhao spread his arms and the mysterious faint figure did the same. It was as if a god of war had descended onto him.


    His every action contained battle-intent that could charge through gods and demons alike.


    With a ¡°whoosh,¡± the Wind Lightning Eye Flame¡¯s power disappeared.


    _Unparalleled in the World!_


    Yu Tianhao thrusted out his palm and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi he attracted was more than twice as much as before.


    Furthermore, this strike contained a terrifying battle-intent that seemed to materialize into the physical world.


    This attack could stun ghosts and gods. It was as if he was a different person from before.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. Before the attack even arrived, the burning battle-intent had started to attack his soul and consciousness, but luckily for him, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was extremely strong.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning Destruction!¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath as a faint purple core appeared on his palm, which then started to spin among azure lightning.


    Beng!


    Like a mountain splitting, the two forces clashed.


    The instant these two powers hit each other, Yu Tianhao¡¯s Unparalleled in the World pressed on toward Zhao Feng.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng reacted quickly as a thick layer of water appeared on his body, which blocked the remaining force. But even then, he was pushed back more than a dozen yards.


    ¡°He¡¯s injured¡­. How can his battle-power suddenly increase by so much¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing quickened. He opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and started to inspect Yu Tianhao. The cold faint figure seemed to have been ignited through a mysterious bloodline and even Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye couldn¡¯t copy it.


    ¡°Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline!¡±


    Patriarch Hong and Dao Sovereign Baiyun exclaimed.


    At this moment in time, Yu Tianhao¡¯s bloodline power had been fully ignited, caused his battle-power to increase dramatically.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s every action contained mental energy battle-intent that could suppress anyone under the Origin Core Realm.


    Furthermore, the mysterious bloodline dramatically increased every move¡¯s power.


    ¡°Unparalleled secret technique ¨C Chaotic Dancing Spring and Autumn!¡±


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s black hair blew in the wind as he became covered in a glowing light.


    At this instant, both his offense and defense were stronger.


    Peng!


    Yu Tianhao sent out several punches, and each of them were like mountains as they broke through everything standing in their path.


    ¡°It¡¯s like a god of war has descended onto him.¡±


    Tiemo, Jiang Saneng, and company were stunned.


    The hearts of everyone from the Iron Blood Religion jumped up to their throats. They could only watch as Yu Tianhao turned the tide around and forced Zhao Feng back.


    A couple breaths later.


    Teng! Teng! Teng!


    Zhao Feng retreated and the water around him had faded in color.


    Even with his purple-colored lightning, he could barely manage to fight back against Yu Tianhao.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Source of True Spirit flashed with a faint purple light as a pair of wings was created that were much brighter than the previous version.


    Hu~~~


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning flapped, summoning the Lightning and Wind Yuan Qi within a ten-mile radius.


    In that short instant, Zhao Feng turned into a blurry afterimage as his speed surpassed Yu Tianhao¡®s.


    Qiu!


    A figure flashed through the sky.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s movement wasn¡¯t just fast. It also contained illusions that came from his mental energy technique.


    Even Yu Tianhao, who had his Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline open, couldn¡¯t see Zhao Feng clearly.


    Although the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline was strong, its main focus was on strength and defense. There wasn¡¯t much of an increase in speed.


    __


    _Unparalleled!_


    Yu Tianhao once again used the attack that seemed to devour the skies, and a mysterious cold glow crushed everything in its path.


    However, his attack didn¡¯t hit Zhao Feng this time.


    With the Wings of Wind and Lightning, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed and agility were both much higher. On top of that, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could predict what was going to happen.


    _Wind Lightning Eye Flame!_


    __


    _Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning Destruction!_


    __


    _Purple Destruction ¨C Claw of Wind and Lightning._


    Zhao Feng quickly moved around and counterattacked fiercely between his evasions.


    Long-range attacks, close combat¡­ Zhao Feng¡¯s tricks were continuous.


    Boom! Bam!


    Everyone only saw two figures flashing through the air. Their eyes were blurry and they didn¡¯t even know what was happening.


    However, one thing was for certain. The fight had entered a stalemate.


    The two Overwhelming Prodigies each had their advantages, so the victor wouldn¡¯t be decided for a while.


    ¡°In terms of true battle-power, Yu Tianhao has the obvious advantage, but Zhao Feng controls the situation too well. This is the advantage of his eye-bloodline. He also has the advantage in speed.¡±


    Dao Sovereign Baiyun sighed.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Yu Tianhao¡¯s Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline should be incomparable, but Zhao Feng is obviously someone special as well; he can force Yu Tianhao to this step and even somewhat take control.¡±


    Patriarch Hong said.


    This battle confirmed that there was no one in their generation comparable to them.


    No genius from the past dozens of generations could be compared to them either.


    In the clouds.


    ¡°Divine Light of Destruction!¡±


    A bright light shot out from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye that disintegrated everything in its path.


    ¡°That¡­ isn¡¯t that the Golden Sun family¡¯s eye-bloodline technique?¡±


    The two Sovereigns were dazed.


    The Divine Light of Destruction was said to be able to disperse any technique.


    This time, Zhao Feng used the complete version in order to handle Yu Tianhao.


    Shuu!


    The light hit Yu Tianhao and quickly dispersed his defense.


    What disappointed Zhao Feng was that Yu Tianhao¡¯s mysterious figure wasn¡¯t affected since it belonged to his bloodline. No one knew what type of form it really took, just like Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven.


    _Unparalleled secret technique ¨C Chaotic Dancing Spring and Autumn!_


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s bloodline ignited even more, and the intent from each of his attacks charged toward Zhao Feng¡¯s soul.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhao Feng had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, which gave him a strong soul, he would be exhausted even if he wasn¡¯t injured.


    ¡°Yu Tianhao¡¯s getting stronger and stronger. Does his bloodline not have a limit?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became solemn.


    Usually, every bloodline secret technique had a limit and a price would have to be paid in order to use it, yet Yu Tianhao seemed to become stronger the longer he fought. It was as if his bloodline was born for battle.


    ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll need to use the weapon-shadow in order to defeat Yu Tianhao.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    Thinking up to here, his left eye turned ice-blue.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Spear, appear!¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he circulated his bloodline, and a half-transparent shadow of the Ice Imperial Spear condensed.


    Hu~~


    An indescribable coldness froze everything, including Yuan Qi.


    Peng!


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s attack was instantly frozen as it got close; it was like a flame that was instantly extinguished.

 530 Victory and Defea

    The appearance of the Earth-Grade weapon¡¯s shadow instantly turned the tide.


    Crack!


    The brilliant arc of the Ice Imperial Spear froze and shattered everything in its path.


    ¡°Earth-Grade weapon shadow?¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng has a piece of an Earth-Grade weapon?¡±


    The two Sovereigns were stunned.


    There were no complete Earth-Grade weapons on the Azure Flower Continent. There was a small number of Sovereigns that had pieces of Earth-Grade weapons, but even that was rare.


    Yet at this moment in time, a piece of an Earth-Grade weapon was successfully summoned in a prodigy¡¯s hand.


    The two Sovereigns couldn¡¯t imagine how strong the complete Earth-Grade weapon would be.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline to condense his Ice Imperial Spear.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s expression changed drastically as his powerful attack was instantly turned to ice by Zhao Feng.


    Peng!


    His bloodline seemed to freeze from the Earth-Grade weapon shadow as he was pushed back dozens of yards.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t immediately pursue since the power of the Earth-Grade weapon was too strong; if he didn¡¯t control it very well, he could kill a normal half-step Origin Core Realm with ease.


    Thinking back to how Zhao Feng had used this Earth-Grade weapon shadow to beat the skeletal Division Leader to the point of begging for its life, Zhao Feng was even stronger than back then.


    ¡°Hmph, a piece of an Earth-Grade weapon?¡±


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s battle-intent kept on rising as he laughed coldly and grabbed toward the air.


    Shua!


    A three-inch-long hilt of a sword materialized in his hand and gave off a kingly aura.


    _Sword hilt? Piece of an Earth-Grade weapon?_


    Zhao Feng paused slightly. The Ice Imperial Spear he had received was more complete than that hilt, but Zhao Feng could only utilize a part of its power.


    ¡°That sword hilt was probably the weapon of a Void God Realm expert when it was complete.¡±


    The terrifying aura made the hearts of the two Sovereigns tremble.


    Unparalleled in the World!


    Yu Tianhao merged with the cold faint figure and a brilliant light counterattacked toward Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng stabbed forward with his blue spear.


    Ding~~~~


    The two intents from the two Earth-Grade weapons clashed, and a tiny hole appeared on the ice-blue spear¡¯s figure. But in the next instant, a terrifying coldness froze Yu Tianhao¡¯s sword hilt.


    Wu~~


    The two auras clashed, creating devastating shockwaves.


    Blood leaked from both Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao¡¯s mouths.


    The difference was that Zhao Feng¡¯s injury was slowly recovering, but this injury was from the power of an Earth-Grade weapon, which would slow down his recovery speed.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s situation was slightly worse.


    His recovery speed was half of Zhao Feng¡¯s even though he was in the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline state.


    ¡°Not good. If this continues, it¡¯ll be extremely dangerous.¡±


    The expressions of the two Sovereigns changed; the power these two youths possessed had reached a point where they could threaten even Sovereigns.


    ¡°Stop~~~!¡±


    A thunderous voice boomed through the sky, causing everything within dozens of miles to feel great pressure.


    Even Dao Sovereign Baiyun and Patriarch Hong felt a pressure when they heard this voice.


    Shua!


    A handsome man descended between Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao.


    ¡°Sovereign Yu Xingchen!¡±


    Patriarch Hong exclaimed as he recognized the newcomer.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    Yu Xingchen waved his hand and a magnificent transparent hand forcefully pulled the two powers apart.


    Bam! Bam!


    The two Lord Prodigies were pushed away by a soft force, but even then, Zhao Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Looking closely, the figures of the Earth-Grade weapons were slowly being pulled apart by Yu Xingchen.


    A couple breaths later.


    Whoosh!


    The power was finally dissolved by Yu Xingchen and he let out a breath before glaring at Yu Tianhao, ¡°How dare you use the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline like that!? Do you think you can handle the consequences of using it?¡±


    Yu Tianhao remained silent, but his battle-intent quickly faded and his body became thin.


    It was obvious that there were side-effects from using the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline.


    Once this bloodline was overused, the aftermath would be unthinkable.


    ¡°How can a True Lord Rank carelessly use the power of an Earth-Grade weapon? If I didn¡¯t come in time, you two might have lost your lives.¡±


    Yu Xingchen glanced toward Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t retort, and he was also somewhat scared.


    He could barely manage to control one piece, but if two pieces of Earth-Grade weapons clashed together, even Sovereigns would be forced back.


    ¡°Yu Xingchen, luckily you came in time.¡±


    Patriarch Hong let out a breath.


    Although he and Dao Sovereign Baiyun could stop the power of the two Earth-Grade weapon shadows, they couldn¡¯t do so while making sure that the two Lord Prodigies would be safe. However, Yu Xingchen had the ability to do so.


    He had forcefully pulled the two powers apart without injuring Zhao Feng or Yu Tianhao.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s expression calmed down as he greeted the other two Sovereigns, but he didn¡¯t stay for long.


    ¡°Tianhao, there isn¡¯t much time left. This fortune only happens once every twenty years.¡±


    Yu Xingchen¡¯s expression tightened as he held his son¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°Ok.¡±


    Yu Tianhao nodded his head and he seemed to be somewhat weak.


    Before he left, he glanced deeply toward Zhao Feng and murmured in a low tone, ¡°It¡¯s unexpected that I would meet such a strong opponent like you in the Azure Flower Continent before leaving.¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised. It wasn¡¯t hard to imagine that Yu Tianhao was confident in himself. The latter never would have thought that he wouldn¡¯t win.


    ¡°You¡¯re my only opponent in the continent from this generation as well.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s strength had also exceeded his expectations.


    Before using the shadow of the Earth-Grade weapon, he could only fight Yu Tianhao to a draw. Even when he used the Earth-Grade weapon, it would still be hard for him to win.


    ¡°Let¡¯s fight again sometime. It might be five years¡­ ten years¡­ or even longer.¡±


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s aura became very weak.


    __


    _Five years¡­ ten years¡­ or even longer?_


    Zhao Feng was startled. It seemed as if Yu Tianhao was going to leave the Azure Flower Continent and go to an extremely faraway place.


    ¡°How about we make a deal. Ten years later, we shall fight once more.¡±


    Fatigue washed over Yu Tianhao¡¯s face and it was hard for him to even keep his eyes open. Overusing the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline exhausted him.


    ¡°Okay, ten years it shall be.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He also knew that breaking through in cultivation after reaching the True Lord Rank was much slower, and a bottleneck could take dozens of years.


    Ten years wasn¡¯t extremely long.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Yu Xingchen ended the conversation as he picked up Yu Tianhao and sped off into the clouds.


    A while later, after Yu Xingchen had flown out several hundred miles.


    ¡°Father, if you didn¡¯t stop us, would I have been the final victor?¡±


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s eyebrows trembled slightly.


    ¡°In theory, the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline has no limit. If the fight continued, your chances of winning would have been bigger.¡¯


    Sovereign Yu Xingchen didn¡¯t disagree.


    If Zhao Feng was here, he would be stunned. How could there be such a terrifying bloodline that it didn¡¯t have any limits?


    Yu Tianhao smiled when he heard this, as if happy that he had received his father¡¯s confirmation.


    ¡°But!¡±


    Yu Xingchen¡¯s words turned, ¡°Overusing the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline means that you will very likely die, whereas Zhao Feng will live on even if he lost.¡±


    ¡°Father¡­¡±


    Yu Tianhao¡¯s expression changed.


    ¡°Therefore, the final victor would be¡­ Zhao Feng.¡±


    Yu Xingchen harrumphed.


    Hearing this, Yu Tianhao sulked, but what his father said next made him speechless, ¡°If you look at history, only those that lived to the end were true victors. It didn¡¯t matter if they won or lost before.¡±


    Yu Tianhao started to think.


    The Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline could continuously increase in power as long as the user¡¯s lifeforce wasn¡¯t depleted.


    However, the user would need to pay a price for using it. Simply put, how much you took would need to be repaid later ¨C this was the balance.


    In particular, with the situation between Yu Tianhao and Zhao Feng:


    If Yu Tianhao won, the power required might result in him dying, as Zhao Feng¡¯s recovery speed was too great and extremely quick. It would be hard for him to defeat Zhao Feng quickly.


    If Yu Tianhao wanted to win, he would need to pay the price of ¡°death.¡±


    ¡°Tianhao, go to sleep. I¡¯ll carry you the rest of the way.¡±


    A warm smile appeared on Yu Xingchen¡¯s face and he slowed down a bit in order to let Yu Tianhao on his back sleep better.


    In reality, Yu Xingchen had seen most of the battle.


    A ¡°draw¡± was the most ideal situation from his perspective, as Yu Tianhao¡¯s journey had been too smooth, which meant that he was overconfident and arrogant.


    Being a father, Yu Xingchen did his best, but he didn¡¯t know that this experience also benefitted Zhao Feng in the same way.

 531 Sovereign Ambush

    On top of the mountain, Zhao Feng watched Yu Xingchen and Yu Tianhao depart with a solemn expression.


    Ever since coming back from the inheritance, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. His cultivation, comprehension, soul, and eye-bloodline had all risen in power, and in the last year, he managed to cultivate a portion of the purple Destruction lightning.


    He believed he was unbeatable across the entire continent against anyone under the Origin Core Realm, but this battle put a stop to his arrogance and overconfidence.


    ¡°No matter how good you think you are, there is always someone better out there. Who knows how many powerful geniuses are out there? I¡¯m only a junior at the peak of the Azure Flower Continent.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes became resolved.


    Only by improving and stepping forward would he be able to catch up to the legends.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how are your injuries?¡±


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo rushed over. They were already grateful that no one was seriously harmed or killed in the battle just now.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled as a ripple of water spread across and healed his body.


    Most of his injuries had recovered by now.


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo looked at each other in surprise. If the battle continued, Zhao Feng¡¯s advantage would become bigger. At the least, the possibility of surviving would be higher.


    Zhao Feng resumed his position as Deputy Patriarch after this battle, but his job was much easier than Tiemo¡¯s.


    Furthermore, the Iron Blood Religion already ruled the Canopy Great Country. At least on the surface, no force dared to challenge them.


    This meant that Zhao Feng could spend more of his time on cultivating and perfecting his eye-bloodline.


    Currently, along with the rise in his cultivation, his eye-bloodline power was increasing. However, due to the restriction of his cultivation, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline techniques couldn¡¯t progress much further.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already learned every secret technique of the three major eye-bloodline families.¡±


    Zhao Feng finally found what was stopping him. Being in the Azure Flower Continent, it was hard for him to learn any new eye-bloodline techniques.


    Of course, his main focus was still the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet.


    He had already comprehended one tenth of the purple-colored lightning and, although that number seemed small, Zhao Feng¡¯s Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning techniques could already kill normal half-step Origin Core Realms very easily.


    Apart from that, he didn¡¯t relax on comprehending the Ice Imperial Spear either.


    The Ice Imperial Spear was more complete compared to other Earth-Grade weapons, so Zhao Feng could comprehend it to a further level than others.


    However, he didn¡¯t dare to fully summon it.


    In theory, because his soul-strength was comparable to a Sovereign¡¯s, it wasn¡¯t impossible for him to use the Ice Imperial Spear, but a considerably complete Earth-Grade weapon would be too shocking if it was revealed. Therefore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to use it.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year went by.


    Due to the restriction of the Azure Flower Continent, Zhao Feng¡¯s abilities were consolidated but made no major improvements.


    ¡°Master, in the past half a year, the resources we¡¯ve gathered have almost been used up.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice sounded through the Dark Heart Seed.


    ¡°How¡¯s the progress?¡±


    Zhao Feng merged his consciousness into the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    Inside the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl was damp, black mud, and five True Lord Rank ghost-corpses stood in a row, their auras ranging from the early-stage to the late-stage True Lord Rank.


    These five True Lord Rank ghost-corpses originated from the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground and were different from normal ghost-corpses.


    The original two dark-silver ghost-corpses Zhao Feng possessed were on the other side, and their auras were almost at the late-stage True Lord Rank. However, with their poison that could kill those below the Origin Core Realm, they couldn¡¯t be measured by normal standards.


    This meant that Zhao Feng already controlled seven True Lord Rank ghost-corpses. If others were to know this, who knew how stunned they would be?


    One had to know that the entire Canopy Great Country only had five or six True Lord Ranks.


    ¡°5% complete.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, as if dissatisfied. His own two dark-silver ghost-corpses weren¡¯t counted in the Hundred Corpse plan.


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s not my speed. There just aren¡¯t enough resources.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said bitterly.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t doubt it. Although he had the main resources, the other materials required were still rare in the Azure Flower Continent. Even with the Iron Blood Religion¡¯s strength, it wasn¡¯t enough.


    ¡°We¡¯ll get some more later. How¡¯s your recovery going?¡±


    Zhao Feng changed the topic.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s aura wasn¡¯t much different from a true Sovereign¡¯s.


    ¡°I¡¯ve recovered 60-70% of my peak battle-power and I can spar with normal Sovereigns, but I won¡¯t last long against stronger ones like Yu Xingchen.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader replied.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng was satisfied.


    Even though the skeletal Division Leader had only recovered 60-70% of its strength, that already exceeded normal half-step Origin Core Realm experts.


    If he didn¡¯t use the Earth-Grade weapon, Zhao Feng figured that he probably wouldn¡¯t win against the skeletal Division Leader.


    In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s Hundred Corpse plan had reached 6% completion, adding another one.


    ¡°Unfortunately, there aren¡¯t enough resources. If we could make ten or more, we could form the Hundred Corpse Curse array, and fifty of them could restrict even a Sovereign¡¯s strength. A hundred could even threaten a Sovereign¡¯s life.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said regretfully. The flames in its eyes jumped around and it was curious what plan Zhao Feng had to get more materials.


    At least in the current state, it wasn¡¯t possible for Zhao Feng to complete the Hundred Corpse plan in the Azure Flower Continent.


    Zhao Feng kept it a secret and didn¡¯t dare to let wind of it get out.


    On this day, Zhao Feng headed toward a large-scale auction in the Purple Rising Great Country as there was news that there were materials that Zhao Feng needed being sold there.


    In a desert, with a complex valley up ahead.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng turned into an arc of lightning that sped past the hills.


    Normal True Lord Ranks could continue flying for several thousand miles, but as Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was comparable to a Sovereign¡¯s, his resonance with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was ten times stronger than normal True Lord Ranks. At his level, he could fly for tens of thousands of miles with ease.


    At a certain moment, a large thousand-yard-high mountain that pierced the clouds appeared in sight.


    ¡°This is the Cloud Gazing Mountain, which is an important landmark of entering the Purple Rising Great Country. One can see for thousands of miles when standing on it.¡±


    A map appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. Such a tall mountain was pointed out in the map.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly twitched as he glanced toward the peak of the Cloud Gazing Mountain.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a cold air that made him feel uneasy.


    Just as he was about to use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to inspect it.


    ¡°Three Eyed Divine Light!¡±


    A bright beam of light that seemed to be able to burn everything in its path whistled toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°It¡¯s you¡­ Three Eyed Saint!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye sent out a cold beam of light that easily broke through the Three Eyed Divine Light.


    A golden-haired youth appeared from behind the clouds; it was the Three Eyed Saint.


    Zhao Feng obviously didn¡¯t put a measly Three Eyed Saint in his eyes, but his expression was still solemn as he looked into the clouds.


    A freezing power seemed to pour across the air, and it was as if Zhao Feng had entered Antarctica.


    ¡°Mystic Ice Queen!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    A beauty wearing a crown and holding an ice staff descended from the sky.


    The Mystic Ice Queen seemed to become the center of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and the coldness she brought spread across dozens of miles.


    Siiii!


    Water within a radius of ten miles started to freeze, and even Zhao Feng¡¯s blood had signs of freezing even though it had the ability to absorb coldness.


    ¡°Sheng¡¯er, you can just watch from the side and lock on to Zhao Feng with your Sacred Eye bloodline.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s eyes flashed with killing intent as she ordered the Three Eyed Saint.


    She had already thought about Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning. Maybe he had some other kind of method of escape as well.


    ¡°Mystic Ice Queen, you still haven¡¯t given up and are going to help the Three Eyed Saint?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was cold. This was the first time he was facing a Sovereign head-on.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if you hand over the secrets of and whatever you got from the mysterious inheritance, maybe I¡¯ll let you live.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen waved her hand and summoned a howling gust of icy wind that descended from the sky, enveloping Zhao Feng.


    The powerful wind was enough to rip normal True Lord Ranks into pieces, and it restricted Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Let me live? Mystic Ice Queen, Three Eyed Saint, if you stop now, there¡¯s still hope for you.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly.


    _Ridiculous!_


    The Mystic Ice Queen pointed forward, and the surrounding wind started to close in on Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you brought this upon yourself.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint circulated his Sacred Eye bloodline and locked on to the area Zhao Feng was in.


    He didn¡¯t aim to kill Zhao Feng; he was only responsible for restricting his movements.

 532 Killing a Sovereign

    On one side was the Sovereign, and on the other side was the Three Eyed Saint who had fully locked on to Zhao Feng.


    Under this situation, even if Zhao Feng used his Wings of Wind and Lightning, he wasn¡¯t certain whether he could break through and escape or not, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to have any intentions of evading in the first place.


    Hu~~


    A dark layer of mist surrounded Zhao Feng.


    Wu~~


    A skeleton of gold and silver suddenly appeared, with flames burning in its eyes.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s heart shook as she looked into the flaming red eyes.


    An eroding mental energy force washed over the area, and even someone as strong as the Mystic Ice Queen felt uneasy.


    After all, the skeletal Division Leader specialized in mental energy techniques and, at its peak, even other Sovereigns would lose in terms of mental energy.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader faced the icy wind that was closing in.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­. The inheritance technique of the Mystic Ice Palace.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader laughed as a bone-whip appeared in its palm. Streaks of purple-and-red flames danced across the sky as it appeared.


    Bam~~~~


    Any ice that came close would be shattered into pieces by the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s whip, but the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s attack was continuous because it kept absorbing the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby. It wouldn¡¯t be destroyed so easily.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning Destruction!¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to hold back against a Sovereign as a faint purple core appeared in the middle of his palm and started to spin.


    Booom~~~~~


    The purple light released a destructive aura that destroyed the nearby ice.


    At this moment in time, the combined strength of Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader succeeded in blocking the Sovereign¡¯s attack.


    The skeletal Division Leader had already recovered 60-70% of its strength, which was enough to block half of the attack. The whip in its hand flew out, releasing lines of flames.


    Even if some of the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s attack hit the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body, there wouldn¡¯t be any problem for it, as its body could take a majority of the damage from a normal Sovereign¡¯s attack without any trouble.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng had to circulate his wind and lightning as much as he could just to barely block the eroding force. However, even when his body became cold, his bloodline could absorb some of the coldness and use it to recover.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh. There was still a difference between the skeletal Division Leader and him.


    ¡°So, it¡¯s just an injured Sovereign.¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen snickered coldly and pressed her hand down. A large mountain of ice instantly formed and crushed down from the sky.


    The ice mountain seemed to make the earth tremble. It was like a force of nature ¨C a power that humans wouldn¡¯t be able to fight.


    _Not good!_


    The expressions of Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader changed dramatically.


    Every action of a Sovereign would be the center of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and merge with nature.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t breathe, and he felt as if the ice mountain was blocking every possible route of escape. Furthermore, the Three Eyed Saint was still annoying him from the side.


    Beng!!


    The terrifying power and coldness of the ice mountain shook the two figures below.


    The skeletal Division Leader barely managed to block the blow while Zhao Feng almost spat out blood.


    At the last moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye turned ice-cold.


    Weng~~


    A magnificent figure wearing a crown, holding a black sword, and sitting on an icy throne appeared. At the same time, the coldness near Zhao Feng was slowly being absorbed by it.


    But even then, Zhao Feng could only manage to stop the erosion of the cold.


    The ice mountain¡¯s power was already enough to instantly shatter a half-step Origin Core Realm, and at this critical moment:


    ¡°Three Eyed Divine Light ¨C Golden Crow Smothering World!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s third eye glowed.


    Whoosh!


    A flaming crow shot through the sky toward Zhao Feng. The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s hatred of Zhao Feng was immense, so his attack was firmly locked on to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Eye Flame!¡±


    Zhao Feng had to use this technique to block the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s attack, but that meant that Zhao Feng had reached his limit, even though the skeletal Division Leader had taken most of the pressure.


    At this moment in time, joy flashed through the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°If Zhao Feng dies here, the Dark Heart Seed won¡¯t be an issue anymore.¡±


    Of course, the skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t dare to act weak, as the sensing abilities of Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye were extremely sharp.


    All it hoped for was for the Mystic Ice Queen to apply more pressure.


    The higher the danger, the more likely he was to escape Zhao Feng¡¯s control.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Spear¡­ appear!¡±


    The half-transparent figure of a spear materialized in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm.


    Hu~~


    An indescribable coldness froze the area and everything nearby.


    The ice mountain above started to break into pieces.


    With the Earth-Grade weapon and his full battle-power, Zhao Feng was slightly stronger than the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader attacked together to block the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s attack.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, how much of a chance do we have to kill the Mystic Ice Queen?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded through the Dark Heart Seed.


    __


    _Kill a Sovereign?_


    The skeletal Division Leader almost flipped over and its face twitched.


    ¡°Master, we might not even be able to save our own lives. As for killing her, the possibility is almost zero. If I was at my peak, we would have a 10-20% chance¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes were full of anger, but he was also puzzled.


    How could Zhao Feng not know this already?


    Of course, Zhao Feng did know. The skeletal Division Leader and him together would need to pay a heavy price in order to fend off the Mystic Ice Queen, and even if they succeeded, the skeletal Division Leader would become weak once more.


    ¡°Hmph, how dare you not pay attention when fighting me?¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen raised her hand and an even more powerful whirlwind appeared.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart tightened. The pressure they were facing this time was much higher than before.


    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re indeed worthy of being a Sovereign. It¡¯s better this way.¡±


    A faint laugh came from the blue-haired youth next to the skeletal Division Leader.


    _Laugh? He can actually still laugh?_


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s face went green. If Zhao Feng died, he would most likely too.


    _Hmm?_


    The skeletal Division Leader realized that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t using his Earth-Grade weapon anymore.


    Shua!


    A jade carving appeared in his hand.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen in the air felt her heart jump and she became somewhat uneasy.


    ¡°Jade Dragon Protection ¨C open!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s jade carving suddenly gave off a bright light, and a green dragon appeared.


    QU~~


    A deep roar sounded across the sky, and the dragon radiated an unparalleled power.


    ¡°What is this¡­?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader and the Mystic Ice Queen felt an indescribable pressure on their souls.


    In that moment in time, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within several hundred miles seemed to be restricted by some power, and every being within thousands of miles felt a pressure on their soul.


    ¡°Kill her!¡±


    Zhao Feng channeled the Jade Dragon Protection and pointed toward the Mystic Ice Queen.


    Whoosh~~~


    The large green dragon charged toward the Mystic Ice Queen, causing the Yuan Qi nearby to shake.


    Crack!


    The whirlwind broke the instant the dragon touched it.


    The two weren¡¯t even on the same level.


    ¡°No, don¡¯t~~~~!¡±


    The dragon¡¯s attack wasn¡¯t fast. It was actually quite clear where it was headed, but the Mystic Ice Queen couldn¡¯t dodge it.


    When one¡¯s strength reached a certain level, logic would no longer apply.


    ¡°Arghhhh~~~~~!¡±


    The Mystic Ice Queen screamed as her powerful defense was ripped apart like paper.


    Even someone as strong as a Sovereign was killed by this dragon.


    ¡°Palace Master!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint not far away was so scared that his soul might¡¯ve dispersed at any moment, and his face went pale-white.


    A Sovereign who stood at the peak of this continent had been killed by a jade dragon carving in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    ¡°The Jade Dragon Protection¡¯s power is obviously stronger than Ye Yanyue¡¯s Void God Protection.¡±


    Zhao Feng suppressed the shock in his heart.


    At the same time, the color from the jade dragon carving faded by half and a crack appeared on it.


    The Jade Dragon Protection could be considered a type of Void God Protection, but it was more unique and contained the bloodline of a true dragon.


    The skeletal Division Leader watched with an open mouth and started to sweat. It never would have thought that Zhao Feng had kept this card hidden in order to kill a Sovereign.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng put away the jade dragon carving and casually looked at the skeletal Division Leader.


    The skeletal Division Leader felt a coldness extend from its feet across its entire body.

 533 Returning to the Purple Saint Ruins 1

    _Zhao Feng is warning me that, even without the Dark Heart Seed, he still has other methods to kill me._


    The skeletal Division Leader felt lucky.


    Zhao Feng had this Jade Dragon Protection and never used it before. His intentions in using it at the critical moment could be seen.


    Before this, the skeletal Division Leader thought about using the fight to escape. Now that it knew that Zhao Feng had such a terrifying hidden card, the skeletal Division Leader wouldn¡¯t dare to betray him even without the Dark Heart Seed.


    The Jade Dragon Protection¡¯s power was too strong. It could instantly kill Sovereigns, whereas normal Void God Protections could only severely injure Sovereigns.


    ¡°En.¡±


    Zhao Feng was satisfied and his gaze moved away from the skeletal Division Leader.


    He had the Jade Dragon Protection ready when facing the Mystic Ice Queen, but using it right away wouldn¡¯t be using it to its fullest potential.


    Zhao Feng used it at the last moment so he could gain experience from fighting with a Sovereign. More importantly, it could stun the skeletal Division Leader; as time passed and it recovered more of its strength, Zhao Feng wanted to leave his shadow in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart.


    At the same time:


    ¡°Run~~~~~!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint screamed and immediately flew off.


    ¡°Master, leave it to me.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader took the initiative in order to show its loyalty.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Shua!


    Only an afterimage was left behind as the skeletal Division Leader disappeared.


    In the next instant, a gold-and-silver figure flashed through the clouds as it closed in on the Three Eyed Saint.


    After all, it had recovered 60-70% of its strength and its battle-power surpassed normal half-step Origin Core Realms. Without using the Wings of Wind and Lightning, Zhao Feng might not be able to defeat the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Dark Soul Death Claw!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader slashed out, and a claw the size of a palace screeched through the air.


    ¡°Not good, it¡¯s an attack on the soul.¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint felt an aura of death envelop him. Normal attacks only targeted mental energy, but Soul attacks were more profound.


    Shuu~~~


    The Three Eyed Saint¡¯s Divine Light of Destruction managed to create a hole in the claw, but the remaining power passed through his body.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    The Three Eyed Saint howled as his face went white, then purple and green.


    The Dark Soul Death Claw had injured his soul and taken a lot of his lifeforce.


    The two weren¡¯t even close to being on the same level. The Three Eyed Saint didn¡¯t even last a few blows before being killed by the skeletal Division Leader.


    The skeletal Division Leader obediently helped Zhao Feng collect the spoils of war, but unfortunately, the power of the Jade Dragon Protection was too strong and had shattered the Mystic Ice Queen¡¯s items into pieces.


    Zhao Feng started to flip through some items inside the Three Eyed Saint¡¯s interspatial ring.


    _Hmm?_


    His gaze landed on a small tattered book, which had a few ancient words on it.


    Zhao Feng was far more knowledgeable than he used to be, and his eyes flashed, ¡°Eye¡­. Stealing¡­. Technique¡­?¡±


    This small tattered book recorded the theory of a forbidden skill.


    ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s just some theory and incomplete.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt slightly regretful.


    The theory was extremely unique, but it hadn¡¯t been used practically before. On top of that, it wasn¡¯t even complete.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard of the Eye Stealing technique before. Apparently, it steals the eye-bloodline of someone and transfers it to someone else, which means that one person can instantly have an eye-bloodline.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader explained.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng was surprised. _There was such a skill?_


    ¡°Of course, the Eye Stealing technique has been lost and only some incomplete theories remain. Furthermore, even if there was a complete technique, there are too many factors that affect its rate of success, so the chances of it working properly is still low.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader sighed.


    ¡°Eye Stealing technique? Could it be that the two from the Golden Sun family wanted to kill me because¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    The Golden Sun family might not take the risk if they were just jealous of Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline, but everything would be different if they could steal Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline, even if the rate of success was extremely low.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and copied the Eye Stealing technique, but what made him disappointed was that the technique was limited to theory and didn¡¯t have anything about the specifics.


    Of course, even the theory increased Zhao Feng¡¯s knowledge.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng made the skeletal Division Leader return to the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, then continued on his journey to the Purple Rising Great Country.


    The Purple Rising Great Country was one of the Northern Continent¡¯s three major countries, and their strength was above even the Canopy Great Country¡¯s.


    Half a month later, Zhao Feng had bought some of the materials he needed and returned to the Canopy Great Country, then started to send the forces of the Iron Blood Religion to find more.


    As long as there were enough resources, the skeletal Division Leader would craft more ghost-corpses.


    Now that the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s cultivation had recovered by more than half, its efficiency was much higher.


    Furthermore, he would help Zhao Feng comprehend the Curse of a Hundred Graves so that they could create the Hundred Corpse Curse array later.


    Zhao Feng handed over this task to the skeletal Division Leader and used most of his time in comprehension and cultivation.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.


    Over the past half a year, Zhao Feng put a lot of effort into cultivation, and he occasionally went to wipe out the remaining forces of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    However, Zhao Feng found that his progress in cultivation toward the late-stage True Lord Rank was becoming slower.


    This ¡°slow¡± speed was in comparison to Zhao Feng¡¯s progress from before.


    Compared to normal geniuses, he was still ten times faster. After all, his soul and comprehension were greater than his cultivation.


    Zhao Feng even went to find Patriarch Hong specifically.


    ¡°The Azure Flower Continent is very small and it¡¯s restricted by the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and other aspects. The limit is technically the Origin Core Realm, so when one progresses toward the Origin Core Realm, their progress becomes slower.¡±


    Patriarch Hong replied.


    Zhao Feng finally knew the answer, and it wasn¡¯t much different from what he thought.


    ¡°Of course, at your current speed, you should be able to break through to the late-stage True Lord Rank within two or three years. That¡¯s already extremely fast.¡±


    Patriarch Hong smiled and said.


    ¡°What can I do to increase my cultivation speed?¡±


    Zhao Feng answered.


    ¡°For example, the palace of the Three Saint Palace is known for its purity of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and is ten times purer than the Azure Flower Continent.¡±


    Patriarch Hong once again invited Zhao Feng to join the Three Saints Palace, but the latter still declined it.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation speed started to decline, and in the next month, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯s forces started to pop up in the continent.


    It was very likely that the Azure Flower Continent would break out into chaos once more.


    The Iron Blood Religion had a big meeting within the great country to plan how to wipe out the demonic religion¡¯s forces nearby.


    ¡°Patriarch Hong, more and more of the demonic religion¡¯s forces have appeared.¡±


    ¡°There seem to be experts not from this continent.¡±


    The atmosphere within the Iron Blood Religion was tense.


    Although the Sacred Alliance and the Ten Great Clans¡¯ forces had the advantage, the demonic religion¡¯s continuous counterattacks made everyone feel pressured.


    ¡°According to news from the battlefield, the upper echelons of the Sacred Alliance and Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion have already fought.¡±


    ¡°What was the result?¡±


    ¡°The Sacred Alliance obviously won, but the demonic religion seems to only be scouting around.¡±


    The upper echelon of the Iron Blood Religion discussed.


    Zhao Feng sat on the Deputy Patriarch¡¯s position and didn¡¯t involve himself. He was only responsible for wiping out the forces in the great country and the Cloud area. He didn¡¯t really care about other areas.


    There was still a Division Leader in his Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    In the next couple days, Zhao Feng remained in seclusion.


    A sudden wave rippled.


    ¡°Purple Saint Token!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped as he took out a purple-colored token from his interspatial ring.


    Weng~~


    The Purple Saint Token glowed purple, and Zhao Feng put his spiritual sense into it.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, there might be some problems in the Purple Saint Ruins and we might need your help. If you can, please return to the Purple Saint Ruins within a year ¨C Yufei.¡±


    Zhao Feng caught sight of a message, and the content made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shake.


    He was already planning that, if he couldn¡¯t break through within half a year or leave this place, he would go back to the Purple Saint Ruins.


    This message came at the right time.


    ¡°I can¡¯t reveal the situation of the Purple Saint Ruins.¡±


    Zhao Feng prepared to leave.


    ¡°Master, eight of the hundred corpses have been refined. There¡¯s not enough resources.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice sounded.


    ¡°Ok, focus on strengthening and consolidating. There¡¯ll be a large supply of resources soon.¡±


    Zhao Feng replied and started to prepare. He wanted to keep the Purple Saint Ruins a secret, so he didn¡¯t immediately tell Patriarch Hong and company.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to drag the Iron Blood Religion into the mess with the three two-star sects.


    Putting aside the Iron Blood Religion, even the Ten Great Clans were nothing in front of the three two-star sects.


    Half a month later, Zhao Feng left a letter in the area of his seclusion, then left.


    The letter said that he decided to go out and travel around. The time frame wasn¡¯t certain.


    Half a day later, the Transverse Water area in the Canopy Great Country.


    Zhao Feng left a message through his spiritual sense and sent it to the Purple Saint Ruins, ¡°I¡¯m coming back.¡±


    Half the time it took incense to burn later.


    Weng~


    A purple light started to expand, forming a shining door.


    When the door appeared, the space nearby seemed to faintly tremble.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng stepped into the purple door and disappeared. In the next instant, he was no longer in the Azure Flower Continent anymore.

 534 Returning to the Purple Saint Ruins 2

    After passing through the distortion in space, Zhao Feng¡¯s body appeared in a smelly swamp.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, this is the place.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a deep impression of the Purple Saint Ruins. After all, he stayed here for several months.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in just a normal part of the ruins was ten times better than that of the Canopy Great Country.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level, he could summon thick, dense Yuan Qi toward him with just a thought.


    Cultivating here was much better than the Azure Flower Continent.


    However, before Zhao Feng could even stabilize his footing, he felt a powerful aura come from below that caused the ground to tremble.


    Whoosh!


    Black tentacles shot out from the swamp below and released an eroding aura that could instantly kill normal animals.


    Shua!


    An arc of lightning flashed and the black tentacles missed their target.


    The next moment, Zhao Feng was dozens of yards in the air, and he saw an enormous beast below that was half a mile wide.


    ¡°Watch out, that¡¯s a Black Swamp Water Beast and its power is at the half-step Origin Core Realm.¡±


    A light voice full of urgency sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    _Black Swamp Water Beast?_


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t panic, nor was he surprised by the voice in his head.


    Weng~~


    A ripple of water appeared around Zhao Feng that protected him.


    The aura of the Black Swamp Water Beast actually made Zhao Feng feel slightly pressured, and the green smoke and its eroding aura were extremely toxic.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, you should leave its territory as fast as you can. This Water Beast is huge and it can even kill normal True Lord Ranks with its poison alone. Its battle-power and lifeforce are close to the Towering Tree Yao.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s voice sounded.


    There were many powerful beasts in the Purple Saint Ruins.


    When Zhao Feng came here the first time, he acted very carefully and used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to scan around.


    Even now, there were powerful existences here that could threaten him. The strongest being here was comparable to a Sovereign.


    The Black Swamp Water Beast¡¯s strength hadn¡¯t reached the level of a Sovereign, but it was still a peak existence that came close to the Towering Tree Yao.


    Whoosh! Whoosh~~~~~


    The Water Beast waved its tentacles around and shot out balls of green-and-black light that could explode in midair.


    Peng!


    Every ball of green-and-black light could sweep across a radius of twenty or thirty yards, and anything that they touched died.


    The Black Swamp Water Beast could shoot out several hundred at once and it was extremely powerful.


    ¡°This bastard¡¯s not very friendly.¡±


    Zhao Feng jumped up in fright as lightning covered him and he ran away, but even then, dozens of green-and-black balls of light coursed through the air after him.


    Boi~~


    The ripple of water around Zhao Feng blocked the damage.


    Zhao Feng finally exited the dangerous area, but he didn¡¯t immediately leave.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I suggest you leave as soon as possible. The Black Swamp Water Beast can leave the ground if it wants to, and there are also a couple beast hordes nearby, and even a sleeping Sovereign beast.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s figure surfaced in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    She had already given a map of the Purple Saint Ruins to Zhao Feng, so as long as he was careful, Zhao Feng would be safe.


    ¡°Master, this Black Swamp Water Beast is a great material for crafting ghost-corpses, and its poison is extremely useful for them as well.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice sounded from the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    __


    _Hmm?_


    ¡°Just as I thought.¡±


    Zhao Feng could see that the Black Swamp Water Beast¡¯s entire body was a treasure and could supply a great amount of resources for the Hundred Corpse plan.


    _Wind Lightning Strike!_


    Zhao Feng slashed his hand out through the air, creating a large blade of wind and lightning that sparkled with a faint purple.


    Whoosh!


    The blade of wind and lightning radiated a destructive aura and, before the attack even arrived, the Black Swamp Water Beast already felt uneasy and instinctively started to submerge into the swamp.


    To increase the power of the Wind Lightning Strike, Zhao Feng put the Purple Destruction Lightning on the edges of the blade so that it would be much sharper.


    Shuuu!


    The blade of wind and lightning instantly cut through the Black Swamp Water Beast before it could react.


    The Black Swamp Water Beast roared in anger and pain. Zhao Feng¡¯s slash just now was extremely terrifying and accurate.


    If it were a normal peak True Lord Rank or half-step Origin Core Realm in its place instead, they would¡¯ve been killed already, but the Black Swamp Water Beast¡¯s lifeforce was incredible and it struggled furiously.


    ¡°Master, it¡¯s best to keep the corpse complete. That way, we can use it to its fullest potential¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said expectantly. It didn¡¯t doubt that Zhao Feng had the strength to kill the beast.


    ¡°En, make sure that the corpse is complete.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head faintly.


    Hearing this, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit and Zhao Yufei were slightly surprised.


    In just two and a half years, how much of an improvement had Zhao Feng made? It seemed as if he didn¡¯t even put the Black Swamp Water Beast in his eyes.


    _Eye of Ice Soul!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye shot out a brilliant glow of light that passed through the Black Swamp Water Beast¡¯s body.


    Siii!


    The Black Swamp Water Beast¡¯s body froze and it didn¡¯t struggle as much.


    A while later, the entire swamp was frozen, and the Black Swamp Water Beast¡¯s soul had fallen into eternal sleep. Its lifeforce was so low that it couldn¡¯t even be detected.


    This state wasn¡¯t much different from being dead.


    Back then, Li Hong was finished off by Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven in the same manner.


    ¡°En, nice and fresh.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and summoned the skeletal Division Leader to help take care of the body.


    The skeletal Division Leader had a weird expression and its face twitched. Amongst those below the Origin Core Realm, probably only Zhao Feng had the ability to freeze a beast at the half-step Origin Core Realm


    Zhao Yufei and the Purple Saint Partial Saint were both surprised.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s potential and growth are shocking.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit sighed. Even with her by Zhao Yufei¡¯s side, the latter had only reached the late-stage True Lord Rank, not much stronger than Zhao Feng.


    One had to know that Zhao Yufei¡¯s bloodline was extremely close to nature and her cultivation speed was one of the best even in the outside world.


    Furthermore, the environment she was in was far better than the Azure Flower Continent.


    Almost half a day later, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader finally finished dissecting the Black Swamp Water Beast.


    In this period of time, other beasts approached the area, but they were easily taken care of by Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Not bad, Zhao Feng also brought a slave at the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said joyfully. At her level and with her special relationship with the Purple Saint Ruins, it wasn¡¯t hard for her to see the relationship between Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng actually enslaved a Sovereign?¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s mouth was wide open and her eyes bulged.


    They wanted Zhao Feng to come back mainly for him to help out.


    After all, Zhao Yufei had to spend most of her time refining the crystal key that was at the center of the ruins.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng entered the mysterious canyon from back then and slew every beast in his path.


    He could even pass straight through beast hordes, and the weird wind around the mysterious canyon didn¡¯t affect him much anymore.


    In the depths of the canyon, Zhao Feng once again saw the Towering Tree Yao.


    The Towering Tree Yao¡¯s injuries had mostly healed, and new branches had grown out from its wounds.


    ¡°Human, you¡¯re back!¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao was happy as Zhao Feng landed on its branches.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t even scared of fighting the Towering Tree Yao head-on.


    A while later.


    Weng~~


    A dreamy mist descended from the sky. It was obviously from the Purple Saint Treasured Palace.


    The Purple Saint Treasured Palace was a very unique existence. It usually stayed in the core of the ruins and couldn¡¯t stay outside for very long.


    Furthermore, every time it descended, it would use the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s power.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng entered the Purple Saint Treasured Palace.


    Within a room on the third floor, Zhao Feng once again saw Zhao Yufei and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    Zhao Yufei sat motionless, and a crystal key floated in front of her. There was a Flame of True Spirit connecting her and the key as she refined it.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit was floating in midair, and they both smiled as they looked at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng!¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes were full of joy, and they seemed to become misty as she leapt into Zhao Feng¡¯s arms.


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. This was the first time that he had such a close hug with a female other than Liu Qinxin, but Yufei was like a next-door neighbor and he didn¡¯t dislike it. In fact, there was even an indescribable feeling.


    ¡°Two years and nine months¡­. I haven¡¯t seen Brother Zhao for so long.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s smile made Zhao Yufei¡¯s face go red.


    _Two years and nine months?_


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t think that time had passed by so fast. He was now already twenty years old.

 535 Butler

    On the third floor of the Purple Saint Treasured Palace, after the reunion, they finally went to the main topic.


    ¡°Senior Purple Saint, what can I do here?¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely respectful. After all, when the Purple Saint Partial Spirit was alive, she was a being that had surpassed the Void God Realm.


    Furthermore, she had given Zhao Feng a lot of help with items such as the Jade Dragon Protection, the Ice Imperial Spear, the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, etc.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the Purple Saint Ruins hasn¡¯t faced true danger yet, but the three two-star sects outside have Void God Realm experts as you know, and they¡¯ve invited an array master that keeps on wasting the ruins¡¯ strength.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said.


    The situation within the Purple Saint Ruins was complex.


    Firstly, the Purple Saint Ruins was eight-thousand miles long, which was incredibly huge for a separate dimension. The environment here was ten times better than the Azure Flower Continent and there was a large amount of resources here.


    Zhao Feng already knew this.


    There were thousands of beasts that had reached the True Spirit Realm, and there was even a small number of sleeping Sovereign beasts.


    Amongst these beasts, there were rare or extinct species that would be of considerable value outside.


    ¡°Yufei¡¯s fortune of inheriting this place is unthinkable for other True Dragon geniuses.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. The luckiest person amongst all the geniuses wasn¡¯t someone from the five Overwhelming Prodigies, but Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°The Purple Saint Ruins you see right now is ten thousand years after it started to weaken and shrink. Ten thousand years ago, its power was far greater than it is right now¡­.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit sighed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. The Purple Saint Ruins was in a weak state right now? How strong was it when it was at its peak?


    ¡°May I ask Senior; what threats are there, and what can I do to help?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Because my power has been decreasing over time, I don¡¯t even have 5% of my strength anymore, and I still need to help Yufei refine the inheritance. I don¡¯t have much control over this space anymore.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said with a long sigh and continued, ¡°If I was at my peak, I could create tsunamis and storms with just a thought.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit had absolute control of the inheritance when she was at her peak.


    ¡°Senior, how much control do you still have over the ruins?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as he asked the key question.


    ¡°I can only sense the ruins now, and even then, there might be restrictions in some flawed areas.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit smiled bitterly.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He somewhat knew about this the last time he came. This meant that the Purple Saint Partial Spirit didn¡¯t have any real ¡°control¡± anymore; its only ability was to see the ruins.


    ¡°Most of the beasts here won¡¯t listen to me anymore. Back then, I could decide their life or death with just one thought. Even if it was a Void God Realm expert that came in, they wouldn¡¯t be able to fight back.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit seemed helpless, and Zhao Feng was stunned. He finally found the reason why the Purple Saint Partial Spirit was urgently looking for an inheritor.


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit spoke, ¡°The loss of power from the ruins is starting to make things unstable. There are more and more flaws every day. Yufei and I have other things to do, so we need your help.¡±


    Zhao Feng finally knew his task. Simply put, he was a ¡°butler¡± that the Purple Saint Partial Spirit had tasked to be responsible for the situation within the ruins.


    The flaws and holes in the dimension would cause it to become unstable, and they could even become a breaking point for the three sects.


    ¡°Of course, as your reward, most of the resources in the ruins can be used by you.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit smiled faintly.


    ¡°No problem.¡±


    Zhao Feng agreed. He only needed to be a ¡°butler¡± and he would receive an enormous amount of precious resources in return.


    Furthermore, he and Yufei were childhood friends anyway.


    Of course, that was also one of the reasons why the Purple Saint Partial Spirit chose to believe in Zhao Feng.


    ¡°My god¡­. Has a pie fallen from the sky?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes bulged out from within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    No wonder Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t very worried about the materials needed to refine the hundred corpses.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng understood the situation within the ruins.


    In order to minimize the use of energy, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit had merged the Purple Saint Treasured Palace once more into the central depths.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure appeared next to the Towering Tree Yao, and the palace disappeared.


    ¡°A pie falling from the sky? How can there be anything that requires nothing in return?¡±


    Zhao Feng was unable to calm down.


    Although it seemed as if the Purple Saint Partial Spirit choosing him was similar to a pie falling out of the sky, the danger involved wasn¡¯t exactly small.


    Once the experts of the three two-star sects attacked, Zhao Feng would be at the front lines.


    ¡°According to the Purple Saint Partial Spirit, there¡¯s almost a hundred flaws and holes in the ruins, but only two or three of them are important.¡±


    A map of the flaws and weaker points surfaced in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Most of these places would probably be a problem in the future.


    ¡°There¡¯s almost a hundred.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his head swell. Many of these flaws and holes concerned the laws of space and intricate arrays.


    Luckily, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit had the methods to fix them, so Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to worry about that aspect so much.


    His main task was to handle the three bigger holes, which were likely to become the attacking point of the three sects, and one of them was in the mysterious canyon. Coincidentally, the Towering Tree Yao was at the center of the mysterious canyon.


    ¡°Human, are we going to work together again so soon?¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao laughed.


    Zhao Feng smiled and started to fix the flaws. A flaw meant that the Yuan Qi didn¡¯t flow smoothly, and it could even stop flowing altogether.


    If they weren¡¯t fixed soon, these flaws and holes would get bigger and bigger, and perhaps affect the entire dimension.


    Simply put, it was like a human body where hidden injuries still needed to be treated.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s method was to use Primal Crystal Stones in order to supply Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    This meant creating Yuan Qi Gathering arrays or something similar in order to increase the smoothness and flow of Yuan Qi.


    In some places, Zhao Feng even needed to personally summon the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in order for it to flow.


    Zhao Feng was dead-tired after the first day.


    While fixing or creating arrays, he also needed to mine Primal Crystal Stones or some other specific materials.


    Furthermore, this was just the simplest step.


    ¡°All of you, come out.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and summoned the skeletal Division Leader, the two dark-silver ghost-corpses, and the seven cursed ghost-corpses.


    ¡°Master, you¡­¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was puzzled.


    ¡°From today onwards, you will help me fix the flaws in the dimension and mine resources needed to construct the arrays.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered. He decided to use these powerful ghost-corpses as laborers, but they could only complete simple tasks.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you want a Scarlet Moon Division Leader to be a laborer? Don¡¯t you need me to help finish your Hundred Corpse plan?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader moaned.


    ¡°Your main focus is still to craft the cursed ghost-corpses, but there¡¯s a few things here that you need to look after.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    The skeletal Division Leader was extremely knowledgeable and knew about arrays. With its Origin Core Realm strength, its management ability wouldn¡¯t be any weaker than Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    ¡°You¡¯re not going to be lazy this time.¡±


    Zhao Feng grabbed a sleeping silver-grey cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws to symbolize its disagreement. It was extremely unwilling to become a laborer.


    ¡°Wrong, you¡¯re just the supervisor.¡±


    Zhao Feng grabbed the little thieving cat and flew around the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat returned with dust flying all around them.


    The skeletal Division Leader looked over and jumped up in fright.


    There was an army of beasts behind Zhao Feng; dozens of them, all at the True Spirit Realm.


    These beasts consisted of apes and elephants. The smallest of them was the size of a human, while the bigger ones were the size of a small mountain.


    All of these beasts were controlled by Zhao Feng.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    More than a dozen ape-type beasts started to mine, and the elephants were in charge of creating the paths.


    The strongest beast was a forty or fifty-yard long Golden Giant Elephant, and its cultivation had reached the peak True Lord Rank. Even normal half-step Origin Core Realm cultivators wouldn¡¯t be able to break through its defense.


    Boom~~~


    The Golden Giant Elephant crashed into a wall under Zhao Feng¡¯s command.


    ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re a beast tamer?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was dazed. Only beast tamers could have such a method to control so many beasts at once.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is pretty smart. He actually controlled all those beasts to become laborers.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit couldn¡¯t help but be surprised.

 536 Breakthrough, Corpse Array

    Two days later, Zhao Feng completed his task.


    The skeletal Division Leader was the manager and constructed the arrays, while the little thieving cat was the supervisor, responsible for making sure the laboring beasts were doing things correctly.


    From top to bottom, everything was done in an orderly fashion.


    Ten days later, the number of beasts working had increased to more than a hundred, and most of them were relatively smart.


    With the skeletal Division Leader in charge, these beasts started to construct everything in an obedient manner.


    All he needed to do was order them around and its task became relatively simple once everything was in place.


    After all, it was once the leader of a Scarlet Moon Division; the amount of territory and troops it was in control of was many times more than this.


    On the third floor of the Treasured Palace, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit saw all of this and was satisfied. The slave that Zhao Feng brought in was very useful, and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t forget to utilize the skeletal Division Leader for everything it was worth.


    In its spare time, the skeletal Division Leader still needed to craft the cursed ghost-corpses, but luckily, it didn¡¯t need to worry about resources anymore and could just order the beasts to get them. If it had any questions, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit would answer them.


    Ultimately, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit just went straight to the skeletal Division Leader for how to fix the holes.


    As for Zhao Feng, his only task now was to supply the laboring beasts.


    Half a month later, the number of beasts had increased to several hundred, and all of them were at the True Spirit Realm, and that was only under the basis that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use his full strength, because the Purple Saint Ruins was extremely dangerous and the control of these beasts would wear off after a while.


    Every once in a while, Zhao Feng needed to replenish these laboring beasts.


    Finally, Zhao Feng had increased the number of laborers to five hundred and entered seclusion.


    The environment within the Purple Saint Ruins was extremely good, and cultivating here was several times faster than the Azure Flower Continent.


    In just a short span of two months, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had reached the late-stage True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Cultivating within the Purple Saint Ruins is indeed different. If I was still in the Azure Flower Continent, this would probably have taken me another year.¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a look of joy.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit obviously saw Zhao Feng break through.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s soul strength and mental energy strength both exceed his cultivation, which is why his cultivation is increasing by leaps and bounds after coming back to the Purple Saint Ruins.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit sighed faintly. Zhao Feng had once again caught up to Yufei.


    ¡°Yufei¡¯s situation is the complete opposite of his. Her cultivation is restricted by her mental energy.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit couldn¡¯t help but shake her head. Zhao Yufei¡¯s compatibility with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was extremely high. If she had Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy level, she would be at the half-step Origin Core Realm by now at the least.


    Unfortunately, there was no perfect bloodline in the world.


    Zhao Feng was the same. Although his mental energy level surpassed others, his compatibility with Heaven Earth Yuan Qi wasn¡¯t any greater than the average.


    ¡°If he and Yufei were to become husband and wife and dual-cultivate¡­¡±


    A thought appeared in the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s mind, but when she thought about the relationship between those two, she let out a long sigh.


    After reaching the late-stage True Lord Rank, Zhao Feng immediately came out of seclusion. He didn¡¯t have any consolidating to do.


    In this period of time, less than one half of the original five hundred beasts were left, so Zhao Feng had to replenish them again.


    ¡°Late-stage True Lord Rank? He used less than two years to breakthrough to the late-stage True Lord Rank from the early-stage True Lord Rank?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart fell.


    If it was a normal late-stage True Lord Rank, the skeletal Division Leader would look down at them as if it was looking at an ant, but it knew how strong Zhao Feng was.


    With every step that Zhao Feng took, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s chances of escaping his control lowered.


    Now that Zhao Feng had reached the late-stage True Lord Rank, his Source of True Spirit was more cleansed and condensed than before.


    A few days later, after the laboring beasts had been replenished, Zhao Feng once again took up the job of a butler and checked the work, making sure that the skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t pull any tricks.


    ¡°Master, I¡¯ve completed 12% of the task now.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader reported.


    12% meant twelve cursed ghost-corpses.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and felt satisfied. After entering the Purple Saint Ruins, everything was going faster.


    ¡°Furthermore, Senior Purple Saint has told us how to create the Curse of a Hundred Corpses.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit soon gave some information to Zhao Feng, and he copied it with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Ghost-Corpse Curse Array? By using the cursed ghost-corpses, an array with the power of the curse can be formed¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to comprehend it.


    The main material of the Ghost-Corpse Curse Array was the cursed ghost-corpses; therefore, it wasn¡¯t very hard to create it.


    ¡°The more cursed ghost-corpses I have, the stronger the array will be. If all one hundred True Lord Ranks were put into the array, even Sovereigns might be killed.¡±


    Excitement glowed in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    He had an Origin Core Realm expert next to him. After the skeletal Division Leader came into the Purple Saint Ruins, its strength also quickly recovered.


    If he was able to complete the Hundred Corpse plan, the ghost-corpse array would be able to threaten Sovereigns.


    In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.


    In this period of time, Zhao Feng used the current number of cursed ghost-corpses to form an array.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    A total of fifteen cursed ghost-corpses were spread out in a unique fashion, and everything within a hundred yards was covered in dark gray clouds.


    Wind Lightning Strike!


    Zhao Feng threw a blade of wind and lightning into the dark gray clouds and its power was quickly absorbed.


    Shuuu~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attack created a crack in the clouds, but it soon repaired itself and devoured his attack.


    ¡°Although I didn¡¯t use my Purple Colored Lightning just now, that attack could have easily killed early-stage True Lord Ranks and injured late-stage True Lord Ranks.¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a look of joy, and then added some Purple Destruction Lightning into it.


    Shua!


    This time, the dark gray clouds showed signs of instability, but they quickly recovered.


    ¡°Congratulations, Master. The Ghost-Corpse Curse array has successfully been formed. The attack just now can even threaten half-step Origin Core Realms.¡±


    A complex emotion passed through the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes, who was watching from far away.


    Thinking back to when it was the Division Leader, it didn¡¯t dare to think about having so many True Lord Rank ghost-corpses.


    If this continued, just twenty True Lord Rank cursed ghost-corpses would be able to kill anything under the Origin Core Realm.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved a black flag and put the fifteen cursed ghost-corpses into the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    He then summoned his two dark-silver ghost-corpses and strengthened them.


    Their battle-power was comparable to normal late-stage True Lord Ranks, and if they hid in the ghost-corpse cursed array, the damage they could do with their poison would be immeasurable.


    Furthermore, their strength would increase in the array.


    On this day, Zhao Feng started to inspect the flaws and holes. Since there were so many, even the Purple Saint Partial Spirit herself might miss some details.


    After all, she was in a weak state and had no more control over the Purple Saint Ruins.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng found that the repair array within the mysterious canyon was unusual.


    The mysterious canyon had a huge flaw; therefore, the skeletal Division Leader had already set up a repair array using the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s method of fixing it.


    However, fixing such a big hole was a long process. It was like a severe illness; it wasn¡¯t very easy to heal.


    From the surface, it seemed as if the hole was starting to get fixed.


    ¡°Wait, although this hole has a Yuan Qi Gathering array, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here is far too responsive, and the aura of life here is incredible.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye inspected the place.


    Normally, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi shouldn¡¯t be so responsive in a place where it was damaged, and the aura of life couldn¡¯t be so strong.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, watch out! There¡¯s an outside force eroding that place!¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice sounded in his mind, and Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped after hearing that.


    In the next instant, he found that the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in this place suddenly doubled in terms of responsiveness, and the aura of life surged.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? How come we didn¡¯t sense anything earlier?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression drooped.


    Hearing this, the skeletal Division Leader also rushed over.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed weird. The hole hasn¡¯t been fully fixed, so the Yuan Qi here can¡¯t be so responsive or have such a strong aura of life.¡±


    The two flames in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes jumped around.


    Neither of them could explain this phenomenon.


    ¡°It¡¯s because this force isn¡¯t destroying or breaking the hole. On the contrary, it¡¯s healing the hole, then starting to transform the Yuan Qi.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice was starting to become solemn.


    _So that¡¯s what happened._


    Zhao Feng understood.


    This must be a method that the three sects were undertaking to try to take over the Purple Saint Ruins, but their method was too cunning.


    They didn¡¯t immediately attack the hole ¨C that would be detected too easily.


    Instead, they used an extremely pure Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and aura of life to repair the hole. This method made Zhao Feng and company think that the flaw was starting to recover.


    After healing it for a while, the three sects used an outside force to assimilate it.


    These steps made the Purple Saint Partial Spirit and skeletal Division Leader slowly adapt to it and think that it was normal.

 537 Disaster Level Demonic Vine

    Pure Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and an aura of life flowed toward the hole within the mysterious canyon. They were quite pure and the Purple Saint Ruins hadn¡¯t rejected them, like the earth absorbing water.


    ¡°One quarter of the hole has already been assimilated. What do the three sects gain from doing this?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    These forces helped stabilize the hole and repair it.


    Even the skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, the three sects want to assimilate this area first, then destroy it suddenly and use it as an entrance to attack the ruins.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice was solemn.


    _Three sects? Attack?_


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t help but question, ¡°What kind of existences are these three sects?¡±


    He heard Zhao Feng and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit talk about the three sects for a long time now, but it still didn¡¯t know what they were.


    ¡°The three sects are the three two-star sects of the Tianlu Islands: the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, Moon Demon Palace, and the Black Cliff Palace. Among them, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect is the strongest and has reached two-and-a-half stars.¡±


    Zhao Feng explained.


    _What!? Two-star sects?_


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body almost fell over as it looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    This revelation was like lightning striking its body.


    Two-star sects. A two-star sect was an enormous force, and the skeletal Division Leader knew how terrifying they were.


    ¡°Tianlu Islands? Isn¡¯t that the area next to our island? And the Moon Demon Palace¡­¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression changed dramatically and it panicked when Zhao Feng mentioned the Moon Demon Sect.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes turned toward it, ¡°The Moon Demon Palace should be the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯s supporters, right?¡±


    ¡°You¡­ you actually know that?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart clenched.


    ¡°Hehe, I already had that guess back at the Cloud area.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly. He wasn¡¯t surprised at the confirmation.


    If he was right, then the era of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion¡¯s peak was when the Moon Demon Palace and Three Saints Palace fought.


    Simply put, the Azure Flower Continent of several hundred years ago was just a small proxy battlefield of those two forces.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, do you know how ignorant you are? To fight with those three sects!?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader exclaimed. Even though the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was strong, they were just pawns of the Moon Demon Palace.


    From this, one could see how terrifying a two-star sect was.


    Furthermore, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect had even reached two-and-a-half stars.


    ¡°Ignorant? Hahaha¡­! I already killed more than one or two of their geniuses years ago.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s laughter contained proudness and insanity.


    Without risk and fighting, how could one acquire any fortune?


    Thinking back to how Zhao Feng had entered this inheritance as an ¡°outsider,¡± the challenges he faced were extremely perilous.


    But ultimately¡­ Zhao Feng became the biggest winner and received great fortune.


    Although Zhao Yufei became the inheritor of the dimension, Zhao Feng¡¯s potential was higher than hers.


    Now that he was back, Zhao Feng might clash with them once more.


    ¡°Senior Purple Saint, what should we do?¡±


    Zhao Feng calmed down.


    ¡°It¡¯s pretty troublesome. Firstly, we can¡¯t forcefully attack this area or else the hole will get bigger.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said in a deep tone.


    Hearing this, the hearts of Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader both shook.


    Indeed. Being a weak area, this place couldn¡¯t be forcefully attacked.


    ¡°Furthermore, the energy flowing in contains the laws of space. There are Void God Realm experts, and even a spatial array master. It would be hard to stop it with your strength.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit smiled bitterly.


    _Hard to stop it?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed.


    Neither he nor the skeletal Division Leader could do anything about the laws of space.


    ¡°We can¡¯t attack it and we can¡¯t stop it. This is indeed troublesome.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader had thoughts of retreating.


    ¡°However¡­¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit spoke after thinking, ¡°Once this weak-point is fully repaired, the three sects won¡¯t be able to do anything no matter how profound their methods are.¡±


    ¡°I understand. That means that the three sects will make their move before the hole is fully repaired.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.


    If the hole was repaired, the three sects could do nothing.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we just need to watch out before the hole fully repairs.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader increased the speed of repairing the weak-point.


    Hu~~


    The mysterious canyon was instantly filled with Heaven Yuan Qi as they started to repair the hole.


    Three days later.


    ¡°Half of it has been fixed.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice sounded.


    The more repaired the hole was, the more difficult it would be for the three sects to attack the Purple Saint Ruins.


    During this period of time, Zhao Feng also went to the other two major holes and inspected them with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The results weren¡¯t good.


    ¡°The other two major holes also have signs of being ¡®healed¡¯ by an outside force, but the progress isn¡¯t as far as this one.¡±


    Everything was shown in front of Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    And this was just the most important holes. The small ones hadn¡¯t even been inspected yet since they were of less concern.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, look. There seems to be a weird plant growing here.¡±


    News came from the skeletal Division Leader, who was in the mysterious canyon.


    Qiuu!


    Zhao Feng quickly flew toward the mysterious canyon. Looking closely, a dark green ¡°vine¡± had appeared in the bushes.


    ¡°These vines weren¡¯t here an hour ago, and they¡¯re only restricted to this area.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader reported, and Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye found that something was wrong as he looked at it.


    These dark green vines had a chaotic and destructive aura. They extremely different from normal plants.


    Furthermore, their growth was way too fast.


    Weng~~


    An aura of life came from the outside world and caused them to grow by several times.


    The Yuan Qi Gathering array also increased their growth.


    Hu~~


    In an instant, the dark green vines within four or five miles started to rapidly expand. At the center of the vines, there was a human-sized monster with a bloodthirsty expression.


    ¡°Dammit! These vines are sucking away my lifeforce and blood essence.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao roared.


    Under the influence of the aura of life and Yuan Qi, these dark green vines started to rapidly expand.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were momentarily dazed.


    It was way too fast. In just a couple breaths, these dark green vines already formed roots that spread out in every direction.


    Within the forest, all living plants were sucked dry of their lifeforce and turned into a pile of white dust.


    _Wind Lightning Tornado!_


    Zhao Feng shouted as he created a tornado that enveloped everything within a two-mile radius.


    Qiu~~


    The momentum of the furiously growing green vines was stopped, but Zhao Feng could still feel that the element of wood countered the power of lightning.


    Every power had a counter; although lightning was extremely destructive, it was countered by the element of wood.


    Furthermore, these dark green vines grew on limitlessly with the support of the aura of life and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    In just a breath or two, the destroyed vines had already grown back.


    Everything within four or five miles was filled with these dark green vines, and the longer ones were seven or eight yards long and showed no signs of stopping.


    ¡°My god, what kind of plants are these?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader also entered the battle, destroying patches and patches of dark green vines.


    Purple-colored lightning appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm and his attacks became stronger.


    ¡°Dammit, this is a forbidden disaster level plant ¨C Demonic Hell Vines!¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit exclaimed.


    _Disaster level Demonic Hell Vines?_


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader both hiccupped just from hearing the name.


    These Demonic Hell Vines devoured lifeforce and kept on growing. They were indeed worthy of being ¡°disaster¡± level.


    If this plant was in the Azure Flower Continent, it would indeed create chaos.


    ¡°The three sects actually got hold of a Demonic Hell Vine seed? Aren¡¯t they scared of overdoing it? This demonic vine is almost fully invulnerable to water and fire, and it can continue to grow as long as there is Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and an aura of life¡­.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice trembled.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader could only restrict the Demonic Hell Vine¡¯s growth, but they couldn¡¯t stop it.


    ¡°Quickly destroy the Yuan Qi Gathering arrays. They will only increase the vine¡¯s growth.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said.


    _Wind Lightning Strike!_


    Several blades of wind and lightning shot toward the Yuan Qi Gathering arrays nearby. As they were destroyed, the growth of the Demonic Hell Vines slowed down.


    However, at this point in time, the Demonic Hell Vines were already a disaster, and the bigger ones were already taller than a dozen yards.


    Looking over the area, it was a sea of dark green vines that twisted and turned.

 538 The Power of the Corpse Array

    In the limitless ocean, there was an enormous mountain that looked over several hundred miles.


    Several figures stood above the mountain, and a hundred-yard-wide phantom image appeared.


    The current scenery being shown by the image made the hairs of everyone watching stand up.


    Countless dark green demonic vines had formed an ocean of vines that grew in an unstoppable manner.


    The spectators held their breath.


    ¡°How terrifying. As long as there¡¯s an aura of life and some Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, the Demonic Hell Vine can grow indefinitely.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed worthy of being a disaster level forbidden vine. If it¡¯s not controlled well, it can even destroy an entire civilization.¡±


    Some of the powerful figures couldn¡¯t help but say.


    These figures were from the three two-star sects, and the weakest of them was at the True Lord Rank, and there were many Origin Core Realm experts.


    Of course, all of them gazed respectfully toward the three magnificent figures in the air.


    Everyone within several thousand miles could sense the power from these three, and they looked like three beams of divine light.


    A golden skeleton radiating an aura of death, a pure and holy female, and a demonic lord surrounded in black mist.


    Three Void God Realm Kings.


    They were like three divine beings that hadn¡¯t changed since the beginning of time.


    Three years was nothing to them with their lifespan. To them, it was the equivalent of just closing their eyes for a second.


    ¡°Saint Moon Aunt Goddess, you actually used a demonic vine just to stop that brat?¡±


    The golden skeleton was surprised.


    The three Void God Realm Kings stared at the mysterious canyon. They saw the scenery of the vines and the image of Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader rushing to deal with the vines.


    The three Void God Realm experts weren¡¯t surprised by Zhao Feng¡¯s appearance.


    ¡°Ever since this brat came back to the Purple Saint Ruins, he¡¯s ruined our plan. Furthermore, there¡¯s still the matter of him killing many of our Core disciples. Just by being the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s enemy, he needs to pay a heavy price.¡±


    Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ voice had a coldness to it.


    The moment Zhao Feng returned to the ruins, the three sects sensed it.


    Saint Moon Aunt Goddess had a giant scorpion next to her that was the size of a bull, and its cold red eyes made others¡¯ blood run cold.


    This scorpion had reached the True Spirit Realm, and its two eyes stared at Zhao Feng in the imagery.


    If Zhao Feng was here, he would be extremely surprised. The youngling scorpion had already reached the True Mystic Rank.


    Of course, that was due to the fact that a Void God Realm expert helped it grow.


    Being Zhao Feng¡¯s spiritual pet, the stronger the scorpion was, the stronger the mysterious bond between the two and the easier it was to sense.


    ¡°Hahaha, with that forbidden demonic vine, the brat won¡¯t be able to last very long. This hole will become the entrance for our three sects.¡±


    The demonic lord surrounded in black mist laughed.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were panicking as they tried to deal with the vines that were growing so crazily.


    Of course, the phantom image didn¡¯t have any sound.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if you don¡¯t use some kind of killing move soon, these demonic vines will spread all over the place. By that time, the entire Purple Saint Ruins will have lost any hope of being saved.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader urged. His power of death was far more useful than the power of lightning or wind since the power of death countered the element of wood.


    ¡°I can only destroy all these vines by using the Jade Dragon Protection or the Ice Imperial Spear.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved, and this was exactly what the skeletal Division Leader had thought about.


    The Jade Dragon Protection should be able to wipe out a large area of vines, and using his Ice Imperial Spear as well, he should be able to freeze the area and nullify the danger.


    ¡°No.¡±


    Zhao Feng and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit communicated with each other and shook their heads instantly.


    This was a weaker part of the ruins; once the Jade Dragon Protection was used, the hole would instantly widen.


    In short, this area couldn¡¯t be heavily damaged.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, team up with me.¡±


    An idea popped into Zhao Feng¡¯s mind as he realized how destructive the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s power of death was toward the vines.


    ¡°Ghost Corpse Cursed Array!¡±


    A black flag appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    Hu~~~


    A total of fifteen True Lord Rank cursed ghost-corpses appeared in the ocean of vines.


    These cursed ghost-corpses stood in a formation, and everything within a hundred yards was filled with the air of death.


    Shu~~


    The vines that entered the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array started to erode, leaving behind a puddle of smelly liquid.


    ¡°Not bad.¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised.


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s effect on the demonic vines was greater than expected. It could even steal their lifeforce.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh~~~~


    An entire area of Demonic Hell Vines soon turned into a puddle of disgusting liquid.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array contains the power of curses, which counters all existences with life.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader paused slightly and understood the theory behind it.


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array wasn¡¯t just a combination of True Lord Rank ghost-corpses, it also contained a powerful curse.


    Thinking back to the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground, only the Scarlet Moon Patriarch and a couple others could retreat fully unharmed.


    The Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground was set up by the force behind the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    With the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, the Demonic Hell Vine¡¯s frantic growing speed finally slowed down, but it didn¡¯t stop.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the vines have already extended to five or six miles. We need to expand the size of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said.


    _Open!_


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader increased the radius of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Within a couple breaths, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array spread to a range of one mile and kept on extending to two miles, which meant that its strength decreased. However, most of the Demonic Hell Vines hadn¡¯t fully matured so they were easily suppressed by the array.


    ¡°Unfortunately, there¡¯s only fifteen ghost-corpses.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt slightly regretful. If half of the Hundred Corpse plan was complete, he was confident he could kill all of the Demonic Hell Vines before they grew completely out of control.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were just stabilizing the situation. Although the vines were still growing, the speed was restricted.


    Both Zhao Feng and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit let out a long breath.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, thank you so much. If we were a bit late, the Purple Saint Ruins would be in absolute danger.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said gratefully.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was solemn. The danger had only been restrained; it hadn¡¯t disappeared yet.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, you take control of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array for a while.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly said and handed over the array flag to the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°I can only last an hour.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader nodded its head. Its current strength was not much different from a true Sovereign, so controlling the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array itself might be a bit easier.


    At the same time, on top of the mountain, the figures from the three sects were shocked as they stared at the image.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng would have a Sovereign helper next to him.¡±


    ¡°What kind of array is that? It¡¯s extremely useful against the Demonic Hell Vines.¡±


    The group discussed, and the three Void God Realms looked at each other.


    ¡°Why are you all looking at me?¡±


    The golden skeleton asked uneasily. The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess and the demonic lord were both looking at it questioningly.


    ¡°That array contains ghost-corpses and the power of corpses. It seems to be similar to your Black Cliff Palace¡¯s.¡±


    Saint Moon Aunt Goddess said.


    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s not just the Black Cliff Palace that knows arrays. The Moon Demon Palace and even other one-star clans that specialize in ghost-corpses would know it.¡±


    The golden skeleton said disdainfully.


    Hearing this, the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess and the demonic lord didn¡¯t delve any further.


    ¡°No need to worry. They¡¯re restricted in manpower; they won¡¯t be able to last long with just two people.¡±


    The golden skeleton said in a solemn tone.


    Even though it only saw an image, it could analyze a lot from just this one image.


    However, just as it finished speaking, the image changed.


    There was a faint tremble and a wave of dust.


    Sou! Sou! Sou~~~~


    Hundreds of powerful beast auras charged out from the canyon.


    These beasts were all at the True Spirit Realm. The strongest had reached the peak True Lord Rank and its battle-power was comparable to a half-step Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Charge!¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand. At this instant, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye flashed and radiated a terrifying energy of eye-bloodline power as he controlled the several hundred True Spirit Realm beasts by himself.


    At this point in time, the several hundred True Spirit Realm beasts charged into the ocean of vines and created a storm.


    The waves of Demonic Hell Vines were crushed into pieces by the stampede, and although the Demonic Hell Vines could absorb the life of normal beasts, this was simply a massive quantity of beasts all at the True Spirit Realm.

 539 Grandmaster Yin Kong

    The Demonic Hell Vines were finally suppressed for the first time.


    Boom~~~~~~~~


    The horde of True Spirit Realm beasts crushed and ran over the vines.


    The waves of Demonic Hell Vines quickly showed signs of stopping.


    ¡°They¡¯ve finally stabilized.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit let out a breath. At this critical moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye managed to turn the situation around.


    Controlling several hundred True Spirit Realm beasts was something that normal beast tamers couldn¡¯t even think of.


    In the air above the mountain:


    ¡°Even if he already dominated them earlier, a measly True Lord Rank can¡¯t control four or five hundred True Spirit Realm beasts easily.¡±


    The scenery within the phantom image caused the expressions of the three experts to freeze.


    They obviously would never have imagined that the Demonic Hell Vines would be trampled by an overwhelming amount of beasts.


    ¡°The seed of the Demonic Hell Vine wasn¡¯t there for very long, so its power hadn¡¯t fully awakened. On top of that, it was killed before it fully grew.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess murmured as they watched everything within the image.


    ¡°Hehe, numbers can be useful in some situations.¡±


    The blue-haired youth looked down from the sky as he controlled the beast horde.


    What was even more incredible was that these beasts were actually split into groups and supported one another.


    Some beasts specialized in tunneling and killed the roots of the vines. Flying beasts were responsible for rescuing beasts that were trapped by vines.


    These scenes caused the three sects¡¯ experts to watch with gaping mouths.


    ¡°Such control. This brat¡¯s eye-bloodline isn¡¯t simple.¡±


    The golden skeleton sighed.


    A few years ago, Zhao Feng displayed special eye-bloodline techniques and mental energy skills when he fought the disciples of the three sects.


    This time, Zhao Feng once again showed the world his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s power.


    The three Void God Realm experts had to admit that it was hard to find such an eye-bloodline even among the three sects.


    Within the mysterious canyon, in the process of fighting the demonic vines, the army of beasts suffered some losses, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel any pain since there was a large number of beasts within the Purple Saint Ruins. Even if he didn¡¯t sacrifice any, these beasts would fight with each another.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, not bad.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice sounded.


    ¡°Human, I thank you once more.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao said. Because it was at the center of the mysterious canyon, the Towering Tree Yao was the first to be attacked by the Demonic Hell Vines.


    The insane growth of the vines made the Towering Tree Yao face disaster.


    Zhao Feng was expressionless as he floated in midair.


    Would the three sects give up so easily? Zhao Feng didn¡¯t think so. The Purple Saint Ruins contained items that would make the eyes of any two-star sect members go red.


    Above the mountain:


    ¡°The Demonic Hell Vines are the first step of our plan. If they fail, then the plan will be affected.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess said faintly. She had become the leader of the attacking force, and the other two Void God Realm Kings looked to her for decisions.


    ¡°The ¡®Spatial Splitting Array¡¯ has been prepared, but it can only send in small items as of right now. The risk will be high if we send in people at the True Spirit Realm¡­.¡±


    A voice sounded from the other side of the mountain.


    A mysterious cold silver array appeared in the air that was held by dozens of array masters. The three at the very front were all array grandmasters, and a youth with silver eyes in the middle was the one that spoke.


    The array masters, and even the other two array grandmasters, looked toward the silver-eyed youth with respect.


    ¡°Array Grandmaster Yin Kong, hopefully you can stabilize the Spatial Splitting Array as soon as possible, but right now, can you please send a couple drops of Origin Lifeforce over?¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess spoke.


    Even the three Void God Realm Kings were respectful toward this silver-eyed man.


    He was Grandmaster Yin Kong, one of the four grandmasters of the Tianlu Islands, and a specialist in spatial arrays.


    On top of that, this Grandmaster Yin Kong was said to have a powerful eye-bloodline that was apparently related to space.


    ¡°Origin Lifeforce?¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong was slightly surprised.


    The Origin Lifeforce was similar to the Elixir of Life, but the difference was that the former contained limitless lifeforce.


    Legends said that one drop of it could turn dry, dead earth within a hundred miles to a lively, rich field that could supply lifeforce for a thousand years.


    From this, one could see how terrifying a drop of Origin Lifeforce could be.


    And currently, the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess wanted to send these drops of Origin Lifeforce to the Purple Saint Ruins to support the Demonic Hell Vines.


    Thinking up to here, Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s heart shook. Once the Demonic Hell Vine absorbed the Origin Lifeforce, the result would be unimaginable.


    ¡°Saint Moon Aunt Goddess, you¡¯re really daring to spend so much. A single drop of Origin Lifeforce is rare even in the Sacred lands.¡±


    The demonic lord surrounded in black mist couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°Send it one drop at a time or else it¡¯ll be too wasteful.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess said.


    In the mysterious canyon, the Demonic Hell Vines were losing momentum and had retracted to only a one-mile radius. If this continued, the vines would soon be killed entirely.


    The skeletal Division Leader let out a breath. It had become easier to control the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Right at this moment:


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye seemed to sense something as a terrifying source of lifeforce appeared in the middle of the vines.


    In that instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye caught traces of spatial movement.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, watch out! That¡¯s a drop of Origin Lifeforce, and it contains an enormous source of lifeforce that will help the vines grow.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit panicked.


    As soon as her sentence finished, the Demonic Hell Vines that were on the verge of defeat suddenly expanded like the tide.


    In just the blink of an eye, the radius of the vines quickly expanded to two or three miles and kept on going.


    This scene made Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader jump up in fright.


    ¡°Stop them!¡±


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader went to work. The former controlled the army of beasts while the latter controlled the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Wu~~


    A chaotic and bloodthirsty aura suddenly appeared in the middle of the vine-ocean, as if a powerful existence had awoken.


    ¡°Demonic Hell Vine King!¡±


    A monster made of several hundred dark green vines formed the shape of a squid that had several hundred tentacles, the longest of them reaching thirty or forty yards.


    The size of the Demonic Hell Vine King that just formed was already almost as big as the Towering Tree Yao.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader both heard the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s warning.


    Under the Origin Lifeforce, the demonic vines would not only quickly expand, a vine king would also form within the core.


    ¡°Kill the vines before that thing fully grows. Once it reaches the strength of a Sovereign, it¡¯ll be troublesome.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit quickly said.


    At this moment in time, the Demonic Hell Vine King was comparable to a half-step Origin Core Realm, but its lifeforce was almost at the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s level.


    Boom~~~


    The beasts that Zhao Feng controlled were instantly sucked dry of their blood by the thick vines as they got close. Instead of being injured, its strength became stronger.


    ¡°This won¡¯t work. Beasts that haven¡¯t reached the half-step Origin Core Realm will just act as fertilizer.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader panicked.


    The range of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was too big, so it couldn¡¯t threaten the Demonic Hell Vine King.


    Above the mountains, the image finally made the three Kings happy.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed worthy of being Origin Lifeforce. Just a drop can turn the tide. If we send in a couple more, wouldn¡¯t the vine king reach the level of a Sovereign?¡±


    The golden skeleton laughed.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, that brat¡¯s beast army is helping the vines grow now.¡±


    The demonic lord gloated.


    In the image, Zhao Feng¡¯s army of beasts could only deal with the outer demonic vines, unable to come close to the vine king.


    ¡°As long as the vine king reaches the Sovereign level, the outcome will be decided. Even other Sovereigns would have to retreat from it.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess smiled. Her eyes turned toward Grandmaster Yin Kong and told him to get ready to send in another drop.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s that brat doing!?¡±


    Exclamations came from the spectators.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    At least a hundred beasts suddenly charged into the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ you¡­¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader jumped up in fright from Zhao Feng¡¯s actions, but he remained unmoved and sent in another hundred.


    After sending them in, the beasts didn¡¯t move. They allowed the air of death to erode their bodies before finally turning into puddles of blood.


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s power suddenly doubled.


    Shua!


    A wave of vines was turned into rotting, dirty liquid.


    ¡°Instead of feeding them to the vine king, it¡¯s better to give them to the array. Skeletal Division Leader, kill the beasts and increase the range of the array!¡±

 540 Vanish!

    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, quickly kill these beasts and expand the array!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was filled with decisive killing intent.


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was filled with blood as the beasts died within it.


    The energy these True Spirit Realm beasts provided was of an extremely high quality. In just a short while, the hundred beasts all died and the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array increased.


    ¡°What a cruel move.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag excitedly in order to direct the power of the array.


    The fifteen cursed ghost-corpses became stronger and stronger as they absorbed the energy from the dead beasts.


    At this moment in time, the portion of vines enveloped by the array soon rotted.


    However, with the Origin Lifeforce, the sea of vines kept growing even though a portion was destroyed.


    Although the array managed to suppress the normal vines, it couldn¡¯t threaten the vine king in the middle, but that was already enough for the Purple Saint Partial Spirit to reveal a look of joy, ¡°Using those beasts to feed the array and increase its power¡­. This Zhao Feng is really cunning.¡±


    Back at the mountain outside:


    ¡°This brat is so infuriating.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t worry. Over half of his beast army has died; he won¡¯t be able to last much longer.¡±


    The three experts discussed.


    The three sects hated Zhao Feng. A measly True Lord Rank could turn the tide even against three Void God Realm Kings. They had to admit the opponent was terrifying.


    Grandmaster Yin Kong was also paying attention to the blue-haired youth in the image. This clash between the blue-haired youth and the three Void God Realms made Yin Kong admire the youth.


    ¡°Grandmaster Yin Kong, get ready to send the second drop.¡±


    Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ voice sounded.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong agreed and started to send over the second drop of Origin Lifeforce.


    Within the center of the mysterious canyon, the air of death and the power of the curse from the array had enveloped everything within three miles and began fighting the vine king in the middle.


    ¡°Unfortunately, only fifteen ghost-corpses were crafted. The range of the array is too big to threaten the vine king.¡±


    Zhao Feng controlled the remaining beasts while paying attention to the situation.


    There were only one or two hundred beasts left. A portion was responsible for clearing out the vines while the rest were spare food for the array.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng sensed a disturbance in space.


    Weng~~


    An enormous source of lifeforce appeared in the center of the vines.


    In that instant, Zhao Feng caught sight of a liquid similar to the Elixir of Life, but its size was much bigger.


    ¡°Not good, a second drop of Origin Lifeforce.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit warned.


    The first drop already made the Demonic Hell Vines grow furiously and created the vine king, and now there was another drop? Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader both felt their scalps tingle.


    As expected, the suppressed sea of vines started to expand crazily, unable to be stopped.


    The vine king in the middle was already dozens of yards long, and its aura surpassed normal half-step Origin Core Realms.


    Qiu~~~~~~


    The Demonic Hell Vine king¡¯s vines were like dragons. Every swish could kill normal True Spirit Realms, and hundreds of vines were thrashing around at once.


    Boom!


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was instantly smacked by the vines and its power started to decrease.


    ¡°Master, the array won¡¯t be able to last very long if this continues.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader yelled as the pressure increased.


    ¡°Human, save me!¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao was also being attacked by the Demonic Hell Vine king.


    They were at the same level in terms of lifeforce for now, but the Demonic Hell Vines could devour and absorb life and continue growing.


    Unfortunately, the Towering Tree Yao was becoming food for the vines.


    Not only could the Towering Tree Yao not fight back, it was also countered by the opponent.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression dimmed. Insanity appeared in his eyes as he ordered the remaining beasts to charge into the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Weng~~


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s strength increased dramatically, but even then, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array couldn¡¯t stop the growth of the vines.


    Above the mountain:


    ¡°Hahaha, the brat¡¯s array can¡¯t do anything anymore, and without the beasts, resistance is futile.¡±


    ¡°Looks like another drop or two of Origin Lifeforce will allow the Demonic Hell Vine to reach the Origin Core Realm level.¡±


    The eyes of the three experts twinkled with excitement.


    From the beginning of the inheritance opening, Zhao Feng seemed to always have the upper hand. Unknowingly, the experts of these three sects were all wary and hateful toward him.


    Even the three Void God Realm Kings didn¡¯t dare to ignore Zhao Feng anymore.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I admit I lost to you last time, but now there¡¯s several Void God Realm Kings and an array grandmaster. You can¡¯t escape this time.¡±


    A young female in the crowd murmured to herself. She was extremely pretty, like a falling leaf in the wind. However, her eyes were full of killing intent as she watched the blue-haired youth in the image.


    It was Ye Yanyue.


    In the past couple years, she focused on cultivation due to what happened in the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Half a month ago, when she knew that the youth in her nightmares had appeared once more, she hurried over.


    Others that came over included the Core disciples of the three sects that entered the Ruins back then, such as Lu Tianyi, Chi Gui, and company.


    Amongst them, Lu Tianyi was the strongest; he broke through to the Origin Core Realm not long ago. His status among the Core disciples of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was within the top three.


    ¡°Saint Moon Aunt Goddess, one or two more drops of the Origin Lifeforce will allow the vine king to reach the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    The golden skeleton was filled with expectation. Once the vine king reached the Origin Core Realm, it would have several new powers and abilities.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if the Demonic Hell Vine king reaches the Origin Core Realm, even normal Sovereigns would need to retreat from it. Within the entire Purple Saint Ruins, no one would be able to threaten it anymore.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice sounded, and the heart of the skeletal Division Leader clenched.


    At this moment in time, it was difficult for the skeletal Division Leader to even hurt the vine king by itself. Once the vine king broke through, the result would be unimaginable.


    Of course, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t fear the current vine king, they were more wary of the entire sea of vines instead.


    The sea of vines blocked both Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader at the same time.


    ¡°If another drop or two of Origin Lifeforce appears, then all our efforts will have been for nothing¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. This time, his opponents were the members of the three sects¡¯ upper echelons, and maybe even Void God Realm experts would appear since one of the requirements of being a two-star sect was having a Void God Realm expert.


    His fear came true.


    Zhao Feng suddenly sensed a disturbance in space once again.


    ¡°I can¡¯t let it happen¡­!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was pushed to its limit. In this instant, his left eye seemed to become a grand ocean as it unleashed unimaginable potential.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, the lake expanded to eighteen yards, and the whirlpool in the middle spun at a high speed as it radiated light.


    ¡°Lock on!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye used a technique similar to the Golden Sun Family¡¯s Sacred Eye bloodline to lock on to area around the drop of Origin Lifeforce.


    Once this power was used, the area that was locked on to would become restricted.


    Weng~~


    An invisible force passed through the air that locked on to the space around the disturbance, and a mysterious drop of liquid appeared that was the size of a thumb and radiated limitless lifeforce.


    ¡°It¡¯s appeared!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye were both thumping heavily, and he restricted the space where the drop of liquid appeared.


    The skeletal Division Leader and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit could see this change clearly.


    This was the moment of destiny.


    Once the Demonic Hell Vine gained a foothold in the ruins, it would become a pathway for the three sects, and the result of that would be unimaginable.


    Hu~~


    The vine king sensed the existence of something similar to the Origin Lifeforce and grabbed toward it with its vine appendages.


    Zhao Feng had locked down the lifeforce of the Origin Lifeforce with his eye-bloodline power, but its aura was still released.


    ¡°Move~~!!!¡±


    Insanity appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face as he instinctively tried to move the drop away.


    As long as the item wasn¡¯t too big, Zhao Feng could move it without much difficulty. The problem was that the vine king was already extremely close to the drop and could ¡°block off¡± the area with just a thought.


    Qiu~~~~~


    Countless vines sealed off the space around the drop of Origin Lifeforce.


    As long as a single vine touched it, the Origin Lifeforce would be absorbed, and all their effort would become useless.


    _It¡¯s over._


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart fell while the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s heart reached her throat.


    No matter where the drop of Origin Lifeforce moved, it wouldn¡¯t be able to escape its fate.


    ¡°Vanish¡­!¡±


    Zhao Feng gritted his teeth as his face was filled with insanity and he almost lost his mind.


    His left eye spun like a small whirlpool and, in this critical moment, a whirlpool suddenly appeared around the Origin Lifeforce.


    Shua!


    The drop of Origin Lifeforce suddenly disappeared just as the wave of vines charged over.

 541 Taken Away

    _Vanish!_


    Qiu~~~~~~


    The wave of vines grabbed empty air.


    The experts of the three sects watched with open mouths.


    Dead silence.


    Even Sovereigns had their eyeballs bulging out. Everyone broke out into discussion a moment later.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Why did that drop of Origin Lifeforce disappear?¡±


    ¡°Is there a problem with the Spatial Splitting Array?¡±


    There was chaos as everyone questioned why the drop of Origin Lifeforce disappeared, but the three Void God Realms and Grandmaster Yin Kong were certain that it was sent over successfully.


    ¡°In that moment¡­¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eyes flashed. Thinking carefully, the drop of Origin Lifeforce disappeared without any trace.


    If it was moved, they would at least be able to see where it went, but it just disappeared.


    ¡°No way. Can that brat¡¯s eye-bloodline affect space?¡±


    The three Void God Realms looked at each other.


    At this moment, the experts¡¯ hearts were unable to calm down. What they witnessed was too stunning.


    Ye Yanyue and the other Core disciples that fought Zhao Feng previously felt incredible.


    Zhao Feng used stunning eye-bloodline techniques last time, but they had similar skills in their own sects.


    But making an item disappear out of thin air?


    Within the mysterious canyon:


    ¡°Disa¡­ disappeared!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes almost popped out. Well, they would have if it had eyeballs.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit almost froze.


    Zhao Feng floated in midair as a small whirlpool was spinning in his left eye.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, a drop of Origin Lifeforce was floating in the air.


    ¡°Just now¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng was shocked.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the drop of Origin Lifeforce in the dimension of his left eye, he would even suspect that it was an accident.


    However, reality was right in front of him. The drop of Origin Lifeforce was taken by the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    This ¡°taking¡± was similar to ¡°passing through space,¡± just like how the little thieving cat could go into someone¡¯s interspatial ring, but Zhao Feng¡¯s new eye-bloodline power was even more incredible; he could take anything in sight and move it to the dimension of his left eye.


    ¡°My Lord, that might¡¯ve just been an accident. Let¡¯s try another one.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong suggested.


    He had his own guesses in his heart and wanted to confirm them.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess nodded her head. At least the sea of vines still had the advantage right now, and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any beasts under his control at the moment.


    _Send!_


    __


    Grandmaster Yin Kong and the other array masters opened the Spatial Splitting Array, and a faint silver hole formed.


    Grandmaster Yin Kong put the next drop in.


    ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll send the Origin Lifeforce straight into the vine king.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong snickered. The last few times, he sent the drop of Origin Lifeforce into the middle of the sea of vines.


    This time, he was going to send it to straight into the vine king¡¯s body, but the difficulty of that was more than ten times greater.


    The instant he sent it across, Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eyes glowed a mysterious silver.


    Shua!


    _Success!_


    A smile appeared on Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s mouth. Perhaps only he, who specialized in spatial arrays, could send an item to such a specific location.


    Within the mysterious canyon:


    ¡°It¡¯s coming again!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was fully locked on to the area where the vine king was. The second there was a disturbance in space, he sensed it.


    This time, the drop of Origin Lifeforce was going to appear directly within the vine king¡¯s body, meaning that, the moment it appeared, it would be absorbed by the Demonic Hell Vine king.


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t sense it, but the Purple Saint Partial Spirit saw it very clearly, ¡°Fuck.¡±


    ¡°Disappear!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was pushed once more to its limit as a small whirlpool appeared where the spatial disturbance was.


    In that moment, space seemed to twist.


    Shua!


    The drop of Origin Lifeforce was absorbed, and it disappeared.


    The Demonic Hell Vine king was still furiously waving its vines, but it didn¡¯t sense anything.


    It was as if the drop of Origin Lifeforce had never appeared in the first place.


    At the same time:


    Shua!


    A second drop of Origin Lifeforce surfaced within the dimension of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    ¡°Hehe. Good job, Zhao Feng!¡±


    The only one that saw the entire process was the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    Even the three Void God Realms didn¡¯t sense it. It wasn¡¯t that their senses weren¡¯t strong, it was just that they could only rely on the image to see the situation; they couldn¡¯t see within the vine king¡¯s body.


    ¡°Grandmaster Yin Kong, what happened?¡±


    The Saint Aunt Moon Goddess looked toward Grandmaster Yin Kong with furrowed eyebrows.


    Why was there no reaction from the Origin Lifeforce? Everyone felt puzzled. They saw Grandmaster Yin Kong send the drop of Origin Lifeforce into the array.


    ¡°My Lord, I successfully sent the drop of Origin Lifeforce into the body of the vine king, but Zhao Feng used some sort of spatial power to take it away.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s face was filled with bitterness.


    _Taken away?_


    All the experts exclaimed.


    At this moment, even the three Void God Realm Kings were awaiting Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s explanation.


    ¡°I think that Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline contains some sort of spatial ability that can transfer items from one dimension to another. The theory behind it is similar to my Spatial Splitting Array, but his ability is even weirder¡­.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong took a deep breath.


    His continued explanation concerned the laws of space, so only the three Void God Realms and a handful of Sovereigns could understand.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. If Zhao Feng has that type of bloodline, then he¡¯s far more terrifying than we imagined.¡±


    The Saint Aunt Moon Goddess murmured.


    ¡°Could he be a descendent of one of the God Eyes?¡±


    Someone in the crowd asked.


    Even though the three sects still had the advantage, they felt defeated, and most people would find an excuse when they were defeated.


    ¡°Descendent of a God Eye? Impossible. None of the Eight Great God Eyes has such an ability.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong immediately shook his head, and the three Void God Realms didn¡¯t doubt him.


    It was obvious that Grandmaster Yin Kong knew quite a bit about the Eight Great God Eyes and their abilities.


    ¡°Ok, stop guessing. After all, Grandmaster Yin Kong is related to one of the Eight Great God Eyes ¨C the Spatial God¡¯s Eye.¡±


    The Saint Aunt Moon Goddess stopped the crowd¡¯s guessing.


    The three Void God Realms then discussed with Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    ¡°There is another way. We can send the Origin Lifeforce across over an extended period of time.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong suggested.


    ¡°There¡¯s only two drops left.¡±


    The Saint Aunt Moon Goddess nodded her head.


    In the mysterious canyon, after the two dangerous moments passed, Zhao Feng was covered in cold sweat and full of excitement.


    Weng~~


    Lifeforce suddenly surged into the area around the Demonic Hell Vine king, which was promptly absorbed by the vine king.


    This time, the lifeforce was sent over in a continuous process instead of a single instant.


    ¡°Well, they¡¯re not retards.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could only lock on to one item at a time, and every time that ability was used, a lot of Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline energy would be used up.


    The previous two times alone had already expended 30% of Zhao Feng¡¯s energy. It was even more exhausting than the Eye of Heaven.


    Zhao Feng felt quite helpless against this continuous process.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array can¡¯t block it anymore!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader yelled as the pressure increased.


    On the other side, with the power of the Origin Lifeforce, the vine king¡¯s strength was gradually rising. It had already expanded to five or six miles while also suppressing the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Once the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array fully broke apart, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader wouldn¡¯t be able to stop the sea of vines even if they teamed up.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. That brat can¡¯t do anything now.¡±


    ¡°His beasts are all dead.¡±


    The experts of the three sects all revealed a smile.


    Zhao Feng seemed to really have fallen into despair.


    His Wind Lightning Technique was countered by the vines to a certain degree, and he had no more beasts to control.


    The vine king¡¯s strength was slowly rising, and it was approaching the Origin Core Realm. With every passing second, the more danger the ruins faced.


    ¡°There¡¯s only one way left.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    Shua!


    With a flash, Zhao Feng disappeared.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, why are you running away!?¡±


    The Skeletal Division Leader yelled.


    Shu!


    In just a second, Zhao Feng landed on the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Human, why aren¡¯t you fighting the vines? Even if you come to me, it¡¯s useless.¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao moaned.


    ¡°Brother Tree, let us fight together. Victory or defeat will be decided in the next instant.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly. As soon as his words finished, a surge of eye-bloodline power came from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and locked on to the Demonic Hell Vine king.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ could it be you want to¡­?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart jumped, and it had its guesses. Zhao Feng was way too crazy.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, last a bit longer.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    He was going to try that method, but just him by himself wasn¡¯t enough. However, if the Towering Tree Yao helped, he had an 80% chance of success.

 542 Demonic Hell Vine Seed

    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions caused the spectating experts to mock him.


    ¡°Has that brat run out of tricks?¡±


    ¡°Hehe, that Ghost Corpse Cursed Array won¡¯t be able to last much longer, and once the vine king reaches the Origin Core Realm, the sea of vines will spread more than ten miles.¡±


    In their eyes, Zhao Feng seemed to have admitted defeat and given up on the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    However, when Zhao Feng landed on the Towering Tree Yao, the expressions of Lu Tianyi, Ye Yanyue, Zhuang Wan¡¯er, Chi Gui, and company changed.


    The image of Zhao Feng and the Towering Tree Yao teaming up back then was still fresh in their minds.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was extremely small in comparison to the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Human, what do you want me to do?¡±


    The Towering Tree Yao didn¡¯t dare to underestimate this youth.


    ¡°There¡¯s not much time. I need to use your Wood Spirit Essence Soul again to defeat the vine king.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was urgent. The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t hold the vines back for much longer. Once the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was broken, the vine king would break through to the Origin Core Realm, then nothing would be able to stop the sea of vines.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I can only last ten more breaths.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s panicked voice sounded.


    _Ten breaths._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook, and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit felt pressured as well. Zhao Feng only had ten breaths of time left to do what he needed to.


    ¡°Merge!¡±


    Powerful energy surged out from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and filled the air.


    Weng~~


    A course of pure energy passed from the branches below into Zhao Feng¡¯s soul.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart fluttered as a comfortable sensation appeared once more.


    The strength of his soul was comparable to the Origin Core Realm, and with the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, his strength had completely reached the level of a Sovereign.


    Furthermore, under this state, Zhao Feng¡¯s senses heightened to their peak. Previously incomprehensible intents were now easily understood.


    Hu~~


    In that instant, Zhao Feng and the Towering Tree Yao seemed to become the center of the world as Heaven Earth Yuan Qi poured toward them. The power was countless times stronger than a True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Origin Core Realm intent!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit were both shocked.


    In this state, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul-strength was completely comparable to a Sovereign, and the level of his intent was also comparable to the Origin Core Realm.


    All of this was due to the Towering Tree Yao. It allowed Zhao Feng¡¯s strength to rise by half a level very quickly.


    ¡°Freeze~~~~~!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s blue hair blew in the wind as an earth-shaking source of mental energy power landed on the vine king.


    The vine king roared as its enormous body stiffened.


    ¡°Does he want to¡­?¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s heart moved.


    In the outside world, the experts of the three sects saw his aim.


    ¡°Looks like his target really is the vine king.¡±


    ¡°The vine king¡¯s body is enormous, and its battle-power is extremely close to a Sovereign. Even a true Sovereign might not be able to kill it.¡±


    The crowd discussed.


    Within the image, the vine king¡¯s body stiffened, but soon started to struggle.


    ¡°Wait, Zhao Feng probably doesn¡¯t want to kill the vine king.¡±


    ¡°Does he want to¡­?¡±


    The hearts of those who understood shook.


    _So that¡¯s how it is._


    __


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eyes flashed.


    It was certain that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to kill the vine king. That wasn¡¯t realistic.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t even use the Jade Dragon Protection in that place since the hole was too weak.


    ¡°Hehe, Zhao Feng wants to control the vine king?¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ laugh made everyone come out of their daze.


    The three Void God Realm Kings all saw Zhao Feng¡¯s intent.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, this brat¡¯s ambition isn¡¯t small. There aren¡¯t any beasts left to control, so now he¡¯s targeting the vine king?¡±


    The golden skeleton said playfully.


    ¡°The vine king¡¯s strength is incredibly close to a Sovereign. One would need to have the soul-strength of at least a Sovereign to control it. Adding on the fact that the vine king is so enormous, even Sovereign beast tamers would find it extremely hard to tame it.¡±


    The three Void God Realm Kings laughed. They weren¡¯t worried at all.


    They didn¡¯t believe that Zhao Feng met the requirement of having Sovereign level soul-strength.


    Time seemed incredibly slow at this moment because the vine king¡¯s actions became stiffer and stiffer, and it wasn¡¯t struggling as much now.


    One breath, two breaths, three breaths¡­ five breaths.


    The expressions of the three Void God Realms changed, and the hearts of the experts shook.


    ¡°How¡­ how is this possible?¡±


    Some Sovereigns revealed incredulous looks.


    In the image, the vine king had been furiously growing yet, five breaths later, the vine king seemed to become ¡°calm.¡±


    _Hmm?_


    The skeletal Division Leader suddenly felt the pressure decrease a little bit. The vine king stopped attacking the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, but there were still vines extending outward.


    Between the branches, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was solemn.


    ¡°This vine king¡¯s mind is filled with chaos and destruction. It¡¯s the reincarnation of a demon.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy faced terrifying resistance when it went into the vine king¡¯s mind.


    At every moment, Zhao Feng needed to defend against the bloodthirsty and chaotic aura.


    The vine king wasn¡¯t a normal existence. Its every action was based purely on instinct. Therefore, there was a lot of resistance.


    ¡°In my current state, I would only have a 40-50% chance of controlling an Origin Core Realm beast, and the vine king is just as difficult.¡±


    Zhao Feng kept sending out his eye-bloodline power. No matter what, he had the advantage at the moment.


    For the moment, Zhao Feng had somewhat pacified the vine king and decreased the pressure on the skeletal Division Leader, but he couldn¡¯t truly control the vine king.


    _Eye of Heaven!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline was circulated to the maximum and left his physical body.


    Shua!


    In that instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness jumped into the clouds.


    A transparent blue Eye of Heaven emotionlessly gazed down at the earth.


    In this state, Zhao Feng¡¯s control and power had reached their peak.


    ¡°Kneel!¡±


    A dominant and cold voice thundered in the dimension of the vine king¡¯s soul.


    Huang!


    The enormous body of the vine king shook, and it seemed to kneel in front of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Immediately following that, the vines within two miles seemed to receive a message.


    ¡°The vine king¡¯s stopped attacking, and it seems to have affected the nearby vines as well.¡±


    The pressure on the skeletal Division Leader dropped by half, and it couldn¡¯t help but look up at the Eye of Heaven with fear, wariness, and even some admiration.


    ¡°He succeeded!¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit and Zhao Yufei were overjoyed.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven suddenly disappeared after a few breaths.


    ¡°Hehe, skeletal Division Leader, you don¡¯t need to worry about the vine king anymore. Focus on destroying the vines near the edge.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed and said, causing the skeletal Division Leader to return to reality.


    At this point in time, the vine king and all the vines within a two-mile radius had stopped attacking. The vines further away were still growing instinctively, but not as fast as before.


    In this situation, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s Ghost Corpse Cursed Array managed to stabilize and began to clear out the vines further away.


    After merging with the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s Wood Spirit Essence Soul, Zhao Feng controlled the vine king and some nearby vines to fight with the rest of the vines.


    Although the vine king had the support of continuous lifeforce, it was being controlled by Zhao Feng.


    Around half the time it took for incense to burn later, the vines within two miles of the vine king were all shattered into tiny pieces, and the skeletal Division Leader was using the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to clear out the remaining vines.


    The vines at the edge didn¡¯t have the vine king¡¯s continuous support of lifeforce, so their growth was much slower.


    In the air above the mountain, the expressions of all three Kings were ugly.


    The plan of using the Demonic Hell Vine king had failed.


    In the image, Zhao Feng actually controlled the vine king and turned the tide.


    Soon, only the vine king and a little bit of remaining vines were left in the area.


    ¡°Decrease the size of the array.¡±


    Zhao Feng met up with the skeletal Division Leader.


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array started to focus on the vine king, causing it to start rotting.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re not going to control the vine king?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was slightly surprised. It thought Zhao Feng would turn the vine king into his own spiritual plant.


    ¡°The vine king isn¡¯t very intelligent, and it¡¯s extremely destructive. It isn¡¯t easy to fully control it either. Furthermore, that plant was made to devour and destroy. The tiniest bit of carelessness will result in disaster.¡±


    Zhao Feng explained.


    It was already incredibly hard for him to control the vine king even with his current boost.


    Time passed slowly as the vine king¡¯s body continued to rot. The fifteen ghost-corpses in the array were extremely close to the peak True Lord Rank, so the power of their curse was quite terrifying.


    Before this, they already absorbed the lifeforce of several hundred True Spirit Realm beasts, and now they had killed countless vines.


    ¡°Although there¡¯s only fifteen cursed ghost-corpses, the power of the curse within is comparable to dozens of cursed ghost-corpses combined.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    An hour later, the vines were mainly destroyed.


    The vine king¡¯s size kept on shrinking, and it soon faded in color.


    A hard, dull black seed was left on the ground where the vine king once stood.


    It was a Demonic Hell Vine seed.

 543 Spatial Hole

    Zhao Feng picked up the Demonic Hell Vine seed that could bring so much havoc and destruction.


    Both Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were full of wariness toward this seed.


    ¡°If I threw this seed into the Azure Flower Continent and fed it for a couple days, it might be able to destroy the entire continent.¡±


    Zhao Feng put the seed into his interspatial ring.


    This scene was obviously portrayed through the image and seen by the three Void God Realms.


    Even to them, the value of that seed was immeasurable. In a battle between sects, that seed could break the balance and turn the tide.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe, that Demonic Hell Vine seed was acquired by Saint Moon Aunt Goddess with a lot of effort, and now it¡¯s in the hands of an ant.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s quite a show to watch now.¡±


    The golden skeleton and the demonic lord looked at each other gloatingly.


    In the Tianlu Islands, the three sects competed with one another. Although they teamed up to face outsiders, there were still clashes between each other.


    In the past several thousand years, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect always had the advantage. Only by teaming up could the Moon Demon Palace and Black Cliff Palace barely resist them.


    After everything that¡¯s happened, the golden skeleton and the demonic lord were obviously happy to see the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess suffer.


    ¡°Grandmaster Yin Kong, stabilize this space. No matter how big of a price, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect is going to capture Zhao Feng alive.¡±


    Coldness appeared on the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ face.


    A coldness and a powerful pressure filled the air within a thousand miles. All of the experts from the three sects felt as if their thoughts were starting to freeze.


    ¡°You two, don¡¯t just sit there. Help me stabilize the space and stop the hole from repairing.¡±


    Her eyes gazed at the other two Void God Realms.


    At the same time, within the Purple Saint Ruins, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were cleaning up the mess.


    ¡°After that battle just now, all the repair arrays have been broken.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said.


    The most important task right now was to construct the repair arrays. If they could fix all of the holes, the possibility of the three sects attacking the ruins would lower dramatically.


    Right at that moment, Zhao Feng sensed three powerful auras flow into the mysterious canyon from a very faraway place.


    These three auras made Zhao Feng¡¯s soul feel heavy.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s minds started to tremble. They felt infinitely small in front of these auras.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, those three Void God Realms are trying to stop this hole from being repaired. They¡¯re actually trying to expand it.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice sounded.


    _Three Void God Realms._


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader felt that if any one of those auras descended here ¡°in person,¡± they would be killed instantly.


    ¡°So, that¡¯s an aura of a Void God Realm. It¡¯s far too terrifying.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook.


    ¡°Even the Patriarch back then wasn¡¯t this strong.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body and soul trembled.


    Both of their hearts dropped. The joy of victory disappeared.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t even comprehend what type of existence they were up against.


    ¡°Relax, the Purple Saint Ruins is extremely far away from the Tianlu Islands. Those three are only using a spatial array¡¯s power to send their auras here, and the array can¡¯t withstand the full power of a Void God Realm.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit smiled and said.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    If they were to actually face a Void God Realm, even the Heavenly Yuan Clan, Mystic Ice Palace, and company would be nothing in front of one.


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said in a solemn tone, ¡°Do your best. Even if Void God Realm experts could come in, I can destroy the ruins with just a thought and send you and Yufei away before I do so. Even if those three Void God Realms had ten thousand guts each, they wouldn¡¯t dare to come personally.¡±


    ¡°I understand.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a bit safer and admired the Purple Saint Partial Spirit. Even if they failed, he had a path of retreat.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit wouldn¡¯t allow her inheritor to be harmed, and she wouldn¡¯t leave the ruins to a bunch of bandits.


    A while later, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader started to reconstruct the repair arrays. They continued to refine the cursed ghost-corpses as well.


    The repair array was to stop the three Void God Realms from destroying the hole even more.


    Zhao Feng and the Towering Tree Yao teamed up to control horde after horde of beasts and force them to help.


    The Eye of Heaven¡¯s strength was extremely great, so it wasn¡¯t hard for it to control several hundred True Spirit Realms simultaneously.


    Compared to everyone else, Zhao Feng¡¯s task was simple; he only needed to occasionally use the Eye of Heaven to control some beasts and find unusual things happening in the ruins.


    With whatever time remained, he would sit on the Towering Tree Yao and comprehend his techniques.


    Through the previous battle, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline and strength had increased, his soul-strength was now completely comparable to a Sovereign, and with the help of the Towering Tree Yao, his understanding of heaven and earth was stronger than ever before.


    Hu~~


    Heaven Earth Yuan Qi spun around Zhao Feng as if he was the center of the world.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng started to touch the level of intent of a Sovereign, and his cultivation speed was a hundred times faster than on the Azure Flower Continent.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit could feel Zhao Feng¡¯s increase in cultivation.


    ¡°One with Nature.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered a familiar intent that he had stolen from Xin Wuheng.


    Xin Wuheng¡¯s mysterious intent from back then was similar to a Sovereign¡¯s. Basically, it was a simplified version of a Sovereign¡¯s intent.


    Sii!


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. Did this mean that Xin Wuheng had already learned how to reach the Origin Core Realm a long time ago?


    If that was the case, then Xin Wuheng would be able to break through to the Origin Core Realm infinitely more easily than others.


    What kind of secret did Xin Wuheng have?


    Zhao Feng instinctively felt that it was unusual for Xin Wuheng to not have returned from the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance.


    Back then, Xin Wuheng¡¯s targeted the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance from the beginning, and he seemed to know more about it than everyone else.


    While Zhao Feng had free time to cultivate, the skeletal Division Leader and even the little thieving cat were busy.


    The skeletal Division Leader needed to control the repair array and refine the cursed ghost-corpses, while the little thieving cat supervised the process; only it had the ability to interact with all the beasts and instruct them to do certain tasks.


    ¡°Currently, the Hundred Corpse plan is extremely important. It can greatly increase our battle-power.¡±


    Zhao Feng told the Purple Saint Partial Spirit and the latter soon decided that Zhao Yufei would temporarily stop refining the ruins so she could take over the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s job of managing the array.


    Although she didn¡¯t know anything about arrays, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit helped her.


    That meant that the skeletal Division Leader could spend all its time refining the cursed ghost-corpses.


    Time passed slowly, and the number of ghost-corpses steadily increased.


    Fifteen¡­ sixteen¡­ seventeen¡­ twenty.


    The main materials were the ghost-corpses from the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground, which were the source of the curse.


    On the other side, the three Void God Realms were using their power to attack the hole, but the repair array kept fixing it.


    Zhao Feng sat on the Towering Tree Yao and entered a state of comprehension.


    He didn¡¯t really need to do anything around the ruins. All he needed to do was occasionally use the Eye of Heaven to control some beasts to help out with hard labor.


    ¡°My soul-strength is completely comparable to a Sovereign, and it¡¯s reached the threshold of Origin Core Realm level intent. When I reach the peak True Lord Rank, I¡¯ll be able to reach the half-step Origin Core Realm in a single step.¡±


    Zhao Feng spent most of his efforts on comprehension, and soon, one month passed.


    At this point in time, the skeletal Division Leader had already refined ten more cursed ghost-corpses, summing up to a total of twenty-five ¨C one quarter of the plan.


    ¡°With these ten extra corpses, the array¡¯s strength will greatly increase. Even normal half-step Origin Core Realms wouldn¡¯t be able to survive.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was confident.


    In the air above the mountain, the aura of the Spatial Splitting Array was more complete and powerful.


    A faint silver hole appeared in the center of the array like an entrance to a cave.


    ¡°My Lords, the spatial hole has been stabilized. We can send a group of people to the Purple Saint Ruins, but we can only send in one Small Origin Core Realm, and the total number of people is limited.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s slightly tired voice sounded, and the eyes of the three Void God Realms flashed as they started to discuss with each other.


    ¡°Send in a strong Sovereign ¨C one that can easily crush several normal Sovereigns.¡±


    The golden skeleton suggested.


    ¡°Hehe, that¡¯s right. Although that other skeleton is also at the Origin Core Realm, it¡¯s extremely weak.¡±


    The demonic lord licked his lips.


    The Black Cliff Palace and the Moon Demon Palace both recommended their own Origin Core Realm experts, since this trip might mean they could take the most benefits.


    ¡°My Lords, let me go.¡±


    ¡°Grand Elder, I am enough to take care of that blue-haired brat and skeleton.¡±


    Several Sovereigns below spoke. This was a great chance to show off.


    Indeed, the strength of a Sovereign from a two-star sect was far greater than one from the Azure Flower Continent, and all the Sovereigns here believed that they could kill several Sovereigns if they were as weak as the skeletal Division Leader.

 544 Elder Shui Yun

    The three sects all recommended their own Sovereigns. Both the golden skeleton and the demonic lord had their choices in mind already.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t have the result we wanted earlier. The first team we send must be able to stand their ground once they¡¯re in the ruins.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ eyes scanned across the crowd.


    _Stand their ground?_


    The other two Void God Realm experts started to think.


    ¡°Stand their ground¡± didn¡¯t necessarily require their battle-power to be the strongest.


    There were many factors affecting a group¡¯s overall strength. Intelligence, power, management, etc.


    ¡°Martial Aunt, leave the mission to me!¡±


    A slightly fat youth whose cultivation had reached the Origin Core Realm suddenly shouted. His aura was stronger than most others.


    It was Lu Tianyi.


    Many people revealed wary expressions as they noticed Lu Tianyi. Although he only just reached the Origin Core Realm, the technique he was cultivating was stronger than others and, apparently, he was already able to fight against Sovereigns when he was only at the half-step Origin Core Realm. After he became a Sovereign himself, he defeated many Sovereigns of the older generation.


    No one doubted his battle-power. He was taught by a Void God Realm, and he would have powerful hidden cards.


    ¡°Tianyi?¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ gaze landed on Lu Tianyi and she faintly smiled as she shook her head, ¡°I don¡¯t doubt your strength, but you¡¯re not the most suitable person for standing your ground.¡±


    Without any hesitation, she declined Lu Tianyi. Although he was unwilling, he couldn¡¯t change her decision.


    ¡°Looks like the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess has already made a choice.¡±


    The golden skeleton and the demonic lord looked at each other, and as they thought, the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ gaze landed on a calm female in blue.


    ¡°Elder Shui Yun.¡±


    The female in blue was calm and pretty. Her skin was as smooth as a baby¡¯s and snow-white. It was as if she wasn¡¯t from the world of humans.


    Instantly, everyone¡¯s eyes turned toward her, and many males couldn¡¯t hide the light that passed through their eyes.


    She was indeed a beauty.


    ¡°Her?¡±


    The other two Void God Realm Kings furrowed their eyebrows, but they understood after thinking about it carefully.


    ¡°Elder Shui Yun is an extremely famous healer in the Tianlu Islands.¡±


    ¡°Apparently Elder Shui Yun¡¯s team has completed several level-six dangerous missions with zero casualties, breaking a ten-thousand-year record.¡±


    The crowd discussed, and quite a few of them were puzzled since Elder Shui Yun was only a healer and the first group should have someone with great battle-power.


    ¡°She¡¯s not a bad choice.¡±


    The other two Void God Realms didn¡¯t reject her. According to the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ plan, the first group needed to hold their ground, so it would focus on ¡°stablility.¡±


    ¡°Elder Shui Yun specializes in healing and managing her people. With her leading the group, there won¡¯t be many casualties.¡±


    The experts of the three sects finally agreed on Elder Shui Yun.


    Apart from her, four other half-step Origin Core Realms and more than a dozen peak True Lord Ranks were chosen.


    These choices were obviously only agreed upon through heated discussion and competition.


    At last, a group of twenty stood in front of the spatial hole and waited for the ¡°go¡± signal.


    Within the mysterious canyon, Zhao Feng sat on the Towering Tree Yao and occasionally used the Eye of Heaven to inspect the place as well as control some beast hordes.


    Over the past few days, he was comprehending the new eye-bloodline skill; taking items from thin air. In other words, transferring a certain item in the air into the dimension of his left eye.


    At the beginning, the energy expenditure was quite heavy. Even after learning to control it better, it still required a lot of energy.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul-strength was at the level of a Sovereign now, so he could use it many times.


    He soon started to perfect the move.


    Shua!


    With a thought, a drop of Origin Lifeforce appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm.


    Items taken to the dimension of his left eye could also be taken out.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, and the drop of Origin Lifeforce disappeared once more. In the next instant, the drop was floating in midair half a mile away.


    This type of teleportation couldn¡¯t be detected.


    ¡°The dimension of my left eye is like a transfer station. I can put items in here, then teleport them to another place.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    Due to the fact that this ability expended a lot of his energy, he only practiced it four or five times a day at the max in order to maintain his peak form because he didn¡¯t know when the three sects might attack again.


    In the afternoon of a certain day, Zhao Feng was just about to practice the ability of ¡°teleporting items¡± again.


    _Hmm?_


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye suddenly sensed a strong disturbance in space coming from the middle of the mysterious canyon.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, watch out. The three sects are sending in experts through a spatial array.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice instantly sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    At the same time, the skeletal Division Leader, the little thieving cat, and Zhao Yufei all received the news, but they simply took defensive positions without panicking.


    Weng~~


    A hole appeared in the center of the canyon, and a powerful space-disturbing aura destroyed the nearby forest.


    Anything in area that was below the Origin Core Realm was instantly killed.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Figures one after another flew out from the hole. Twenty or so auras appeared, with the weakest being at the peak True Lord Rank. Each one of them was stronger than Tiemo.


    ¡°One Sovereign, four half-step Origin Core Realms, and thirteen peak True Lord Ranks.¡±


    Zhao Feng saw them clearly from far away. The group was led by a beauty who seemed helpless and weak.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, the three sects are pretty generous¡­. Sending in a beauty.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader came out from the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    Weng~


    The spatial array soon disappeared after the group came in.


    ¡°There¡¯s only one Sovereign.¡±


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader let out a breath. Luckily, the spatial hole could only send in one Sovereign at a time.


    ¡°Elder Shui Yun, Zhao Feng¡¯s over there.¡±


    Another pretty female in the group turned toward Zhao Feng. She seemed to be extremely familiar with the place.


    ¡°Ye Yanyu.¡±


    Zhao Feng paused as he looked at the familiar figure.


    At this moment in time, her face was filled with coldness and did nothing to hide her killing intent.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhao Feng had a Sovereign next to him, she would¡¯ve probably already charged over.


    Three years had passed since then, and her cultivation had reached the half-step Origin Core Realm. She was now stronger than Lu Tianyi was back then.


    ¡°Yanyu, we aren¡¯t attacking right now.¡±


    Elder Shui Yun smiled and gave off an aura which made Ye Yanyu calm down.


    After that, she ordered the group to attack and destroy the nearby repair and Yuan Qi gathering arrays.


    Boom!


    The nearby arrays were utterly broken. The group was extremely efficient.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were surprised. Unexpectedly, the enemies didn¡¯t immediately attack them.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were only a mile away from Elder Shui Yun.


    Afterwards, Elder Shui Yun ordered some of the experts to construct an array.


    ¡°They¡¯re completely ignoring us?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression fell.


    The enemy only had one Sovereign, so he wasn¡¯t scared.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, they probably want to hold their ground here and construct an array that will connect with the outside world. At that time, there won¡¯t be any restriction on the number and strength of the experts they can send in!¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s urgent voice sounded.


    ¡°Go.¡±


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader charged toward the group without hesitation.


    ¡°Elder Shui Yun, they¡¯re coming!¡±


    Ye Yanyu¡¯s voice was urgent.


    ¡°Get ready to fight.¡±


    Elder Shui Yun smiled. Her calm aura made the hearts of others speed up.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, leave that chick to me. This time, _you_ take control of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s flaming eyes jumped with excitement.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head as a black flag appeared in his hand.


    Hu~~


    The area within a hundred yards was instantly filled with the air of death as twenty-five cursed ghost-corpses appeared.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t rashly charge forward. He slowly pushed the array toward the group.


    Sou!


    At this moment, the skeletal Division Leader thrusted a gold-and-silver claw toward Elder Shui Yun.


    Sovereign versus Sovereign.


    His target was directly toward Elder Shui Yun. After this long period of resting, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s strength had recovered and was about the same as its peak strength.


    This blow alone was enough to kill a half-step Origin Core Realm from the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡±


    Ye Yanyu and the other three half-step Origin Core Realms snickered coldly and were about to block it.


    ¡°Let me.¡±


    Elder Shui Yun smiled as her white hand lifted.


    Bo~~


    A bubble of water formed in her hand.


    Crack!


    Although the bubble seemed light and fragile, it contained the dense power of water and instantly smashed through the gold-and-silver claw.


    The power and intent from the bubble made Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader both jump up in fright.


    _Go!_


    Elder Shui Yun waved her hand once more, and the faded bubble turned into a stream of water that sent the skeletal Division Leader flying into the distance.

 545 Perfection

    The difference between the two Sovereigns was instantly revealed.


    Elder Shui Yun used a bubble to send the skeletal Division Leader flying.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be surprised as he continued to control the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Bitch¡­!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader roared as it got up from the ground. It was a cultivator that had strengthened its bones, so it could ignore normal attacks even from half-step Origin Core Realms.


    ¡°Elder Shui Yun must be strong if she was the one chosen to lead this group, and she must have something that others don¡¯t.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was solemn. He wasn¡¯t surprised that the skeletal Division Leader was defeated, but the magnitude of difference in strength was quite surprising.


    Although the skeletal Division Leader hadn¡¯t fully recovered, it wasn¡¯t far from its peak. Even though it had the strength of a Sovereign, it was still sent flying with one move.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. That skeleton is useless indeed.¡±


    The three sects¡¯ experts watching started to laugh.


    The morale of Elder Shui Yun¡¯s group rose.


    ¡°Elder Shui Yun, we should use this to our advantage and advance. Those two can be finished off easily.¡±


    Ye Yanyu and company suggested to attack.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    Elder Shui Yun stood motionless while a ripple of water appeared around her, and her eyes turned toward the dark clouds pushing toward them.


    This was the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°This Elder Shui Yun¡¯s pretty calm. She actually didn¡¯t continue to attack the skeletal Division Leader.¡±


    If Lu Tianyi or someone else that loved to battle were here, they most likely would¡¯ve kept on attacking the skeletal Division Leader.


    After all, the glory and fame of slaying a Sovereign was rather large, but that would have given Zhao Feng a chance to kill the remaining members of the group.


    Sou!


    The skeletal Division Leader flew over once more and waved its gold-and-silver whip, creating a huge phantom bone dragon that leapt at Elder Shui Yun.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within ten miles instantly roared as the strength of a Sovereign was shown.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his black flag and a large amount of curse-power and hatred started to erode the area near Elder Shui Yun and company.


    ¡°Meaningless tricks.¡±


    Ye Yanyu and the other half-step Origin Core Realms used their techniques.


    Shuuuuu!


    When the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array came over, it was instantly shattered by several different kinds of lights.


    Even the peak True Lord Ranks had battle-power comparable to an Azure Flower Continent half-step Origin Core Realm¡¯s, while Ye Yanyu and the other three half-step Sovereigns could fight two or three half-step Origin Core Realms each.


    When the four of them teamed up, they could even fight against a Sovereign.


    ¡°These people are probably all elites as well.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. He knew how strong the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was.


    Normal True Lord Ranks would die if they entered the array, and even half-step Origin Core Realms would be killed.


    Boom!


    A loud explosion sounded through the air as a wave of death swept across several dozen miles.


    ¡°Fucking bitch!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body flew out once more.


    Wu~~


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s black mist within a couple miles faded in color, and Zhao Feng had to focus on stabilizing the array.


    The skeletal Division Leader was absolutely crushed.


    ¡°Hahaha!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun¡¯s group laughed with disdain, and the four half-step Origin Core Realms almost charged into the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to try to capture Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun shouted and once again stopped Ye Yanyu and company.


    ¡°Elder Shui Yun, we have the absolute advantage right now. Why don¡¯t you just let us kill those two?¡±


    One half-step Origin Core Realm was puzzled.


    ¡°Absolute advantage? Maybe, maybe not.¡±


    Elder Shui Yun remained calm and analyzed the situation, ¡°The Purple Saint Ruins is the enemy¡¯s territory, and the main threat isn¡¯t that skeleton but that Zhao Feng.¡±


    At this moment in time, the skeletal Division Leader slowly got back up. It was probably injured. This time, it came back to the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and didn¡¯t dare to attack rashly anymore. It was full of wariness toward Elder Shui Yun.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Elder Shui Yun was wary of Zhao Feng and a couple other reasons, she would have killed the skeletal Division Leader already.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ a clash between Sovereigns will increase the damage to the hole.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit warned.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart dropped, and he couldn¡¯t help but think of Elder Shui Yun more highly. She had an extremely clear mind and controlled the situation well. She focused on the overall situation and not the small matters.


    In the outside world, above the mountains, the image showed the two forces facing each other. Elder Shui and her group clashed with the dark clouds. Ye Yanyu, the other three half-step Origin Core Realms, and the more-than-a-dozen peak True Lord Ranks stopped the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s erosion.


    ¡°Elder Shui Yun¡¯s calm indeed. She¡¯s perfect.¡±


    ¡°Every time she¡¯s led a group, the fatalities have almost always been zero.¡±


    The experts of the three sects exclaimed.


    _Pure Water Sacred Essence!_


    Elder Shui Yun suddenly sent a glow of light toward Ye Yanyu and company. Anyone that had accidentally touched the power of the curse was instantly healed as good as new.


    The entire group was unharmed.


    __


    _What!?_


    The hearts of Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader jumped.


    ¡°Looks like she saw through it¡­.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s Ghost Corpse Cursed Array didn¡¯t seem to threaten Ye Yanyu and company, the invisible power of the curse had started to affect them.


    Although a small amount wasn¡¯t much of a threat, their lifeforce would be eroded over time and their battle-power would start to drop.


    ¡°Such a powerful healing technique. As long as her subordinates aren¡¯t instantly slain, she can heal them.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart was moved.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader started to realize that Elder Shui Yun wasn¡¯t a normal Sovereign.


    ¡°If I¡¯m correct, she¡¯s a healer who can hold ground.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly understood and cursed.


    Not far away, Elder Shui Yun smiled.


    Time passed slowly, and soon, three days passed.


    In that period of time, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader both used the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, but they couldn¡¯t handle her.


    They both tried secret techniques, but Elder Shui Yun was perfect and none of her members were harmed.


    As long as Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader stopped attacking, she would start to build the array to connect with the outside world.


    Outside world, above the mountains:


    ¡°Elder Shui Yun has held her ground very well. We will be able to send in our next group after ten more days.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong smiled.


    Everyone admired Elder Shui Yun. If she went all out, she had a 70-80% of killing both Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader, but in the unknown Purple Saint Ruins, there was a risk to doing that, and Elder Shui Yun wanted to use the smallest price to defeat the enemy.


    ¡°After ten days, you will lead a group to support Elder Shui Yun.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ eyes turned to Lu Tianyi.


    ¡°Thank you, Martial Aunt.¡±


    Lu Tianyi was overjoyed. He knew that she was giving him the chance to slay the enemy.


    Elder Shui Yun was a healer and focused on stability. Lu Tianyi would be the perfect choice to send in next.


    Within the mysterious canyon, the pressure that Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader faced became stronger.


    ¡°This Elder Shui Yun¡¯s completely flawless.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader had a depressed expression while Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he sighed, ¡°Looks like I need to use every possible method now.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng, use whatever method you have or else another group from the three sects will arrive.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader had a weird expression.


    Shua!


    With a flash of lightning, Zhao Feng disappeared from the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, from now on, all you need to do is stall them with the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.¡±


    When this sentence had finished, Zhao Feng had landed on the Towering Tree Yao.


    ¡°Why did you run away again?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s scalp tingled.


    The pressure it faced from blocking Elder Shui Yun and her group was extremely huge, but luckily, all Elder Shui Yun did was glance at Zhao Feng.


    Hu~


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag and started to attack the invaders.


    However, with Elder Shui Yun and the four half-step Origin Core Realm experts there, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s offense obviously didn¡¯t amount to much.


    _What¡¯s that Zhao Feng thinking?_


    The skeletal Division Leader cursed in its heart.


    Right at this moment, it felt a powerful and heavy mental energy pressure in the air above.


    __


    _Hmm?_


    Elder Shui Yun and company couldn¡¯t help but raise their heads and jump in fright at what they saw.


    Shua!


    A transparent blue Eye of Heaven had appeared in the sky, which looked down coldly at the group. They felt an extremely strong pressure descend upon them.


    ¡°What a strong mental energy aura. Has Zhao Feng¡¯s soul-strength reached a Sovereign level?¡±


    Elder Shui Yun was shocked and felt uneasy.


    In the air, the Eye of Heaven revealed a cold and gruesome intent.


    The mental energy pressure kept on rising, and it froze the heavens and earth.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul-strength was completely comparable to a Sovereign¡¯s and, after merging with the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, it was even slightly stronger than a normal Small Origin Core Realm Sovereign¡¯s.


    In theory, under this state, Zhao Feng¡¯s secret eye-bloodline technique could inspect normal Sovereigns.

 546 Beast King

    ¡°Eye of Illusion ¨C Maze!¡±


    The transparent Eye of Heaven seemed to become extremely attractive and alluring.


    Fueled with the soul-strength of a Sovereign, the invisible power of illusions filled the air.


    Shua!


    The members of the invading group felt their hearts shake and, in the next instant, the mysterious canyon disappeared and the dark mist faded from sight.


    The group was teleported to an ancient city that was covered in white mist and had a complex layout just like a maze. Apart from Elder Shui Yun who occasionally struggled with the illusion, the others all started to try to find the exit in this maze.


    _Hmm?_


    The eyes of the skeletal Division Leader lit up, ¡°What a powerful mental energy technique!¡±


    Using this chance, the skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag and sent the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array toward the group.


    Hu~~


    The powerful mist full of hatred and curse-power succeeded in eroding the group¡¯s members, but Ye Yanyu and company all harrumphed. Although they were in the maze, they instinctively circulated their Qi of True Spirit after feeling the power of the curse and the air of death.


    At this moment in time, only Elder Shui Yun succeeded in resisting against the Illusion Maze.


    In the outside world, above the mountains:


    _Not good!_


    The image that the three sects¡¯ experts saw made their expressions change drastically.


    ¡°What a powerful mental energy illusion!¡±


    ¡°His illusion technique, after merging with the Towering Tree Yao, can threaten Sovereigns.¡±


    Even some Sovereigns were shocked because Elder Shui Yun was quite strong among the ranks of the Small Origin Core Realms, and she specialized in defense.


    If even Elder Shui Yun could only barely resist Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy illusion, then many other Sovereigns present were very likely to fall for it.


    The stalemate was instantly broken.


    The strength of Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was already comparable to a Sovereign, and after merging with the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, it was even stronger than normal a Small Origin Core Realm¡¯s. Therefore, when he used the Eye of Heaven, he was able to instantly make the enemy fall for his illusion.


    Hu~~~


    With the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s erosion, many peak True Lord Ranks of the group were starting to get injured.


    ¡°Hahaha! Zhao Feng, why didn¡¯t you use this powerful move earlier?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag, creating dragons made from the dark mist that attacked the group, and it purposely aimed at Elder Shui Yun.


    Of course, the skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t think about how many more terrifying methods the three Void God Realms had up their sleeves. The more strength they had, the better.


    ¡°Earth-Grade weapon ¨C Green Water Fallen Pearl!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun opened her mouth and spat out a slightly tattered pearl the size of a swan egg.


    The pearl was surrounded in a beautiful haze of water and, the instant it appeared, all Spiritual-Grade weapons started to tremble in fear.


    ¡°That woman also has an incomplete Earth-Grade weapon!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader exclaimed as the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was absorbed by an immeasurable force.


    Bo~~


    A ripple of water spread across an area of a hundred yards and enveloped everyone in the group. The group¡¯s experts then started to show signs of struggling out of the illusion.


    ¡°Hmm? This tattered Earth-Grade weapon can even calm others¡¯ minds.¡±


    Zhao Feng soon discovered another ability of the pearl.


    ¡°Green Sky Water Border!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun reached out, and the barrier of water stabilized as it pushed out the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    After completing all that, Elder Shui Yun let out a breath.


    _So that¡¯s how it is._


    __


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart dropped.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy technique was incredibly strong and forced the three sects¡¯ group into desperation, but Elder Shui Yun used an incomplete Earth-Grade weapon that had a strong protective ability.


    ¡°With the Green Sky Water Border there, even Sovereigns would find it hard to break through. Although my Illusion can threaten them, I can¡¯t kill any of them, so it¡¯s just a waste of my energy.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became grim.


    Elder Shui Yun didn¡¯t try to break through Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy illusion. After all, the latter specialized in eye-bloodline techniques and had a powerful soul-strength.


    She used this defensive state to ¡°ignore¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s attack.


    Under the Eye of Heaven state, Zhao Feng¡¯s expenditure of energy would obviously be quite large, so he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to last very long.


    ¡°Hehe, indeed worthy of being elites of two-star sects.¡±


    A light laugh sounded in their souls.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven in the sky suddenly disappeared and Elder Shui Yun let out a breath, but before she could calm down, another, even bigger Eye of Heaven appeared in the sky.


    The higher up it was, the further it could see.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s sight spread across the entire Purple Saint Ruins.


    _What¡¯s Zhao Feng doing?_


    The skeletal Division Leader murmured in his heart.


    Elder Shui Yun and the spectators didn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°Start!¡±


    A cold and emotionless voice sounded in the air.


    In the next instant, an extremely strong source of mental energy was unleashed by the Eye of Heaven, which spread across the entire ruins.


    Roar! Wu~~~ Si!!!


    Tons of beasts within two thousand miles started to howl and roar.


    A surge of beast hordes near the mysterious canyon started to charge toward the group.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The earth shook as countless figures of both big and small beasts charged over.


    ¡°So¡­ many¡­.¡±


    Ye Yanyu and company only just awoke, and they couldn¡¯t help but shout as they saw the waves of beasts coming from all directions.


    In their vision, hundreds and thousands of beasts charged toward them without fear of death.


    ¡°Battle!¡±


    The hearts of Ye Yanyu and company shook as they used their secret techniques to slay the gargantuan beast horde.


    Peng!!! Bam~~~~


    A large number of beasts were instantly killed and pushed outside the Green Sky Water Border, unable to threaten them.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Elder Shui Yun found that part of the beast horde charged into the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    It was obvious that, using these beasts, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s strength would rise dramatically.


    Huuu~~~~


    The mist from the array became denser, and blood-colored flames appeared as its power continued to rise.


    The invisible power of curses and hatred finally managed to slightly push into the Green Sky Water Border.


    At the same time, flashing golden lights blinked in the sky alongside thunderous booms and the screeches of birds.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun¡¯s pupils contracted as she revealed a look of shock.


    In the air, thousands of Golden Lightning Birds were flying over. The weakest of these Golden Lightning Birds were merely at the 6th Sky of the Ascended Realm, but there were dozens of True Lord Ranks.


    And amongst the Golden Lightning Birds, there was one terrifying aura that caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to howl.


    This beast king had a wingspan of forty or fifty yards; it was like a small mountain that left an enormous shadow wherever it went.


    ¡°A Sovereign beast!¡±


    Ye Yanyu and company felt their hearts tremble. They felt lightning flash throughout the sky and piercing screeches that made their blood churn.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on!!? Zhao Feng managed to control such an enormous beast horde.¡±


    ¡°How can he control so many beasts at once?¡±


    The experts of the three sects had open mouths.


    In the image, the Golden Lightning Birds could be counted by the thousands, and apart from the Golden Lightning Bird King, there were also dozens of True Lord Rank birds and several hundred True Spirit Realms.


    Qiu! Qiu! Qiu! Qiu!


    The Golden Lightning Birds were like bolts of lightning as they descended.


    Boi~ Bo~ Bo~


    The Green Sky Water Border that protected the group started to shake and become dimmer.


    Boom!


    The Golden Lightning Bird King sent out an earth-shaking arc of lightning.


    _An attack from a Sovereign beast!_


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart shook. The Golden Lightning Bird King¡¯s strength was even stronger than the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s own when it was at its peak.


    Booom~~~~~~~~ Bam!!


    The Green Sky Water Border shook as currents of lightning passed through it, making the experts of the three sects feel numb.


    ¡°How did Zhao Feng control such a massive beast horde?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s soul shook. Of course, it didn¡¯t forget to use the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to absorb the blood essence from the beasts. The array finally started to suppress the Green Sky Water Border with the help of the Golden Lightning Birds.


    At this moment in time, the tide had turned. The Eye of Heaven controlled countless flying beasts that covered half the sky.


    ¡°Hmph! By controlling just one beast ¡®king¡¯, he can order its entire species around.¡±


    The Eye of Heaven was filled with coldness as it looked down.


    Zhao Feng had only focused on the king among beasts, and the Golden Lightning Bird King had one of the highest number of beasts among its species.


    This king was the ruler of its species, and Zhao Feng was easily able to control it after merging with the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    Another reason he chose this beast horde was that they were agile and quick.


    Such an enormous number of beasts could destroy any force below a one-star sect or wipe out a great country and several strong countries with ease.


    Peng~~~~


    The Golden Lightning Bird King attacked several times more and, with the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array pressuring as well, the Green Sky Water Border dimmed and several cracks appeared.


    ¡°Get ready to retreat!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun¡¯s face went white as she sent down this order through gritted teeth. At this point in time, she couldn¡¯t support the Green Sky Water Border anymore.

 547 Victorious

    ¡°Get ready to retreat!¡±


    Facing the uncountable number of Golden Lightning Birds, even Elder Shui Yun couldn¡¯t maintain her calm.


    The Green Sky Water Border could break at any moment, and, although Elder Shui Yun was strong and had an incomplete Earth-Grade weapon, her power was limited in comparison to the several thousand Golden Lightning Birds.


    Furthermore, the skeletal Division Leader was managing the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and slowly crushing the Green Sky Water Border. The invisible power of the curse had already entered their bodies.


    ¡°Hehe, want to run? Do you think it¡¯ll be that easy?¡±


    The Eye of Heaven looked down with a faint glint.


    Zhao Feng was in control of a king of the Golden Lightning Bird species.


    Qiu Qiu Qiu~~~~


    Several thousand lightning birds used ranged attacks to assault the Green Sky Water Border.


    The Golden Lightning Bird King was even more dominating; its every attack caused the barrier to shake despite Elder Shui Yun¡¯s powerful cultivation technique and incomplete Earth-Grade item.


    ¡°Yanyu! Lead the others and charge out! I¡¯ll cover you!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun¡¯s hand radiated with a blue light.


    Weng~


    The Green Water Fallen Pearl in front of her released a surge of water that swept across several miles. Everything within the area was filled with water, as if it had turned into an ocean.


    Bo~~


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s mist dimmed by more than half, and its power decreased.


    Bo~~~~


    Throngs of lightning birds in the sky were shattered and crushed.


    This enormous attack also caused the hole, and even space itself, to tremble.


    ¡°An incomplete Earth-Grade weapon is so strong in the hands of a Sovereign?¡±


    The Eye of Heaven in the sky seemed to be wary.


    The blow just now by Elder Shui Yun was enough to wipe out the entire Broken Moon Clan and kill everyone within. Using one move to destroy an entire clan, was that still the power of a human?


    The Towering Tree Yao not far away yelled as it was injured.


    Even though Zhao Feng had told the lightning birds to maintain a certain amount of distance, a thousand of them were still injured or killed.


    After using that attack, Elder Shui Yun¡¯s face went pale-white, then red again. However, she didn¡¯t stop at all in this critical moment.


    ¡°Die, you bastard!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun was surrounded by a ripple of water as she killed the nearby beasts then charged toward the Golden Lightning Bird King.


    Straight toward the Beast King!


    ¡°If you want to fight, then let¡¯s fight!¡±


    Zhao Feng focused entirely on controlling the Golden Lightning Bird King. He used its agility to his advantage as the two fought in the sky.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The other members of the three sects charged out.


    Luckily for them, Zhao Feng was focused on controlling the Golden Lightning Bird King and fighting with Elder Shui Yun.


    In the air, Elder Shui Yun and the Golden Lightning Bird King clashed, and the remaining waves of their battle swept across ten miles.


    Due to the fact that the hole was a major weak point of the ruins, Zhao Feng directed the battle toward the outer edges of the mysterious canyon, and Elder Shui Yun had to follow. If she didn¡¯t take care of the Golden Lightning Bird King, the others wouldn¡¯t be able to escape.


    ¡°This woman is really strong.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag and made the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array absorb the blood essence of the beasts nearby before attacking Elder Shui Yun from below.


    That meant that Elder Shui Yun had to fight two Sovereigns at once while also fighting one or two thousand beasts.


    Above the mountain, the spectating experts held their breath.


    The battle in front of their eyes was too shocking. Even someone as strong as Elder Shui Yun was in danger.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, kill the others.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader directed the array toward Ye Yanyu and the others while Zhao Feng also controlled a few lightning birds to stop them from running away.


    ¡°Shameless bastard!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun¡¯s face went cold as she glanced at the Eye of Heaven.


    To protect the members of her group, she used an Earth-Grade weapon and a large-radius skill, causing her to expend a lot of energy, and currently, she was using large amounts of Yuan Qi as she fought the beast horde. Yet, while Zhao Feng controlled the Golden Lightning Bird King, he didn¡¯t clash with her head-on and ordered the skeletal Division Leader to kill the others.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    A scream came from the other side.


    The first casualty finally appeared as a peak True Lord Rank fell.


    Although the fallen True Lord Rank was even stronger than Tiemo, he died a horrible death.


    ¡°Hehehe¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag and its gold-and-silver whip as it charged toward the group.


    The curse had already started to affect them, causing their blood essence to slowly weaken.


    At this moment in time, the skeletal Division Leader and the beasts had the upper hand.


    ¡°Water Spirit Divine Change!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun¡¯s face went pale-white, and cold intent appeared on her face.


    Di! Da!


    Elder Shui Yun was covered in a blue light that seemed to twist and turn in the air. Incredibly, her body seemed to merge as one with the blue light, becoming liquid-like.


    Qiu!


    Lightning struck Elder Shui Yun¡¯s body, but her liquefied form seemed to take no damage.


    ¡°What kind of secret technique is that!?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. In that state, Elder Shui Yun¡¯s body seemed to actually turn into water.


    Weng~~


    Furthermore, her body grew by a couple yards. In this state, she seemed to become a god of water and her battle-power doubled.


    Boom!


    A flood of water rolled across more than a dozen miles, and hundreds of birds were dying every moment.


    The Golden Lightning Bird King yelled in pain as it was hit, but Zhao Feng was still doing his best to use its agility to his advantage.


    ¡°Bastard, die!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun was like a goddess as she summoned the power of nature.


    Within a couple breaths, the Golden Lightning Bird King screamed as it was slain by Elder Shui Yun.


    At this point in time, more than half of the lightning birds had been killed, and after the beast king died, the remaining beasts all started to run away.


    Hu~


    Elder Shui Yun let out a breath as her body started to condense.


    After returning to her normal state, her face became as white as paper and she felt fatigued.


    It was obvious that, although the Water Spirit Divine Change had unparalleled defense, a heavy price was required to use it. Furthermore, she had already used a lot of energy before using it.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Eye Flame!¡±


    The Eye of Heaven flashed with a purple fire.


    Whoosh!


    A half-transparent purple-and-azure fire that radiated an aura of Destruction hit the weakened Elder Shui Yun.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The experts watching in the outside world exclaimed.


    The terrifying Wind Lightning Eye Flame instantly engulfed Elder Shui Yun.


    Bam!


    Elder Shui Yun¡¯s body fell from the sky and crashed into a mountain, creating a hundred-yard-deep hole.


    This Wind Lightning Eye Flame was the strongest eye-bloodline flame he had ever used in his life.


    ¡°That eye-bloodline flame is probably enough to kill normal Sovereigns.¡±


    The heart of the skeletal Division Leader twitched.


    At this moment in time, Ye Yanyu, the other group members, and the spectators outside were dead-silent.


    ¡°Elder Shui Yun¡­.¡±


    Ye Yanyu and company glanced unwillingly at the hole.


    Bo~


    A ripple of water appeared from within the hole, and a scorched figure flew out.


    ¡°That person¡­¡±


    The figure was smoking and scorched. Was this still the virtuous Elder Shui Yun?


    ¡°Re¡­treat!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun managed to spit out as the scorch marks started to fade and slowly recover.


    A while later, Elder Shui Yun caught up to Ye Yanyu and company, but her figure was still gruesome.


    ¡°Find a place to recover first.¡±


    Elder Shui Yun¡¯s body swayed, but she forced herself to heal the others.


    At this point in time, more than half of the group had been injured or killed.


    Zhao Feng used the Eye of Heaven to control some nearby beasts and teamed up with the skeletal Division Leader to pursue them.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ bitch, I¡¯ll make sure you understand what humiliation is once I catch you.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader kept on attacking them with a smug expression.


    If this continued, it was very likely that Elder Shui Yun and company might all be killed as the former was extremely injured and her battle-power had dropped to the bottom.


    Right at this moment in time, a voice sounded in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s head, ¡°Stop.¡±


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven disappeared.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, victory is waiting for us. I can catch that bitch alive¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said unwillingly as it thought about how it had been utterly defeated by Elder Shui Yun earlier and now had the perfect opportunity to return the favor.


    However, no matter how it groaned or moaned, it didn¡¯t go against Zhao Feng¡¯s order.


    It knew that Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven¡¯s control of the situation was better than its own.

 548 Lu Tianyi’s group

    The skeletal Division Leader returned to the location of the Towering Tree Yao a while later.


    On the branch of the tree, Zhao Feng had a pale expression, and sweat could be seen on his forehead. Even the Towering Tree Yao seemed weak.


    The skeletal Division Leader understood when it saw this. At the same time, it started to think. Zhao Feng was the weakest it had ever seen him.


    Zhao Feng had expended a lot of energy, and if he continued for a bit longer, he would have nothing left.


    ¡°Master, if we had held on just a bit longer, we could¡¯ve killed them all.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said somewhat regretfully.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use all his strength, so the skeletal Division Leader had no chance to turn the tide.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, I didn¡¯t continue because I was wary of you. Even if I have no energy left, you won¡¯t have a chance.¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced at the skeletal Division Leader and its heart jumped. It seemed that none of its thoughts could be hidden from Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Then, Master means¡­?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said carefully.


    Being in the Purple Saint Ruins and teaming up with the Towering Tree Yao, Zhao Feng¡¯s power was almost heaven-defying; he could control any beast with his Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°If we killed that group, the price we¡¯d pay would be huge.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes looked up toward the sky.


    The expressions of the three sects¡¯ spectators froze. Zhao Feng seemed to be looking right at them.


    ¡°Luckily, Elder Shui Yun specializes in healing. If it was a normal Sovereign, they might¡¯ve died already.¡±


    ¡°No matter what, she was able to survive.¡±


    The members of the three sects discussed.


    Although Elder Shui Yui lost, her calm attitude made others feel admiration. After all, the enemy they were facing was a monster.


    When the spatial hole stabilized once more, they could send in a more powerful group that was geared more toward fighting.


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ expression was calm, but everything that happened made all the three sects¡¯ members become more solemn.


    During the next couple days, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t allow the skeletal Division Leader to pursue Elder Shui and company. Instead, they focused on fixing the repair array and constructing Yuan Qi arrays.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s main task was still to craft the cursed ghost-corpses, and Zhao Yufei also helped build some arrays.


    Within three days¡¯ time, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline power had recovered a lot and he could control some beasts to help out again.


    In that period of time, Elder Shui Yun and company were still recovering. The former¡¯s injury was too severe, so even though she specialized in healing, it would take her a long time to return to her peak.


    Furthermore, the other members had all been eroded by the power of the curse. Elder Shui Yun needed to help them purify it, and she had to spend a lot of her energy in the process.


    If it were a normal Sovereign instead of Elder Shui Yun, they would be unable to get rid of the curse-power at all.


    She couldn¡¯t just not do anything, otherwise at least half of the group would die.


    On top of that, Elder Shui Yun felt uneasy. It was as if there was an eye watching them from somewhere.


    Finally, on the fourth day, the group faced danger. Four or five beast hordes surrounded the valley they were healing in.


    Boom~~~~


    Hundreds upon thousands of beasts soon turned the canyon into flat ground.


    The beast hordes were led by half-step Origin Core Realm beasts that kept on annoying them, so Elder Shui Yun¡¯s group was forced to fight.


    For the next couple days, this situation would happen all the time, so they were unable to rest.


    These beasts didn¡¯t act normally. They had high intelligence.


    Some of them even had special talents. For example, some beasts could jump out from the ground while others could turn invisible. Some specialized in mental energy and released deadly poisons.


    After all, the Purple Saint Ruins was extremely ancient, so there were many weird beasts.


    On the fifth day, the group had its first casualties.


    Elder Shui Yun helped the surviving members and healed them. She was exhausted.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s ambushes and tactics were extremely cunning. He aimed at the weaker members of the group instead of Elder Shui Yun.


    Elder Shui Yun¡¯s attitude and strength were impenetrable. Zhao Feng admired her, however, he targeted the weak points of the group, which meant that Elder Shui Yun couldn¡¯t focus on healing herself. As time passed, more and more casualties appeared.


    At the end, even the Eye of Heaven would ambush them from time to time.


    __


    _Wind Lightning Eye Flame!_


    __


    _Azure Lightning Slash!_


    __


    _Illusion Maze!_


    __


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven either forced the group into desperation or took a life away.


    Members died every day. At the end, only Elder Shui Yun, Ye Yanyu, and another half-step Origin Core Realm were left.


    The original twenty members had become three.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡­. All he¡¯s doing is thinking about how to torture us?¡±


    Ye Yanyu and company hadn¡¯t had a good night¡¯s rest yet. They had to be on guard at every moment.


    Of the remaining three, Elder Shui Yun only had fifty percent of her Yuan Qi left, and the other two weren¡¯t much better off.


    In the outside world, above the mountains, the expressions of the three Void God Realm Kings started to become solemn.


    ¡°If he tried his best, Zhao Feng could¡¯ve killed them already, but he hasn¡¯t done so.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess said in a heavy tone.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to see that Zhao Feng spent most of his efforts on repairing the three major holes. Although it seemed like Elder Shui Yun and company were facing heavy disturbances and torture, that was only Zhao Feng annoying them in his spare time.


    On average, it happened twice or thrice a day, and it didn¡¯t even use much of Zhao Feng¡¯s energy.


    ¡°My Lords, the smaller the holes are, the harder it is to open a spatial hole.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong sent over some bad news, and the expressions of all three Void God Realms changed slightly.


    ¡°About how many more times can we send people over?¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess asked.


    ¡°A minimum of one more and a maximum of twice, but if this continues, the chances of the third group making it over will be pretty low.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong sighed as he watched the scenery within the image.


    _This Zhao Feng has such a strong grasp of the situation._


    __


    He didn¡¯t think too much about a momentary victory by finishing off Elder Shui Yun and company. His main focus was on the major holes while only annoying Elder Shui Yun and company in his spare time.


    Weng~~


    The image finally started to become unstable and blurry.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on!?¡±


    ¡°The image is slightly blurry!¡±


    The spectators of the three sects exclaimed.


    At this moment, the three holes were finally starting to make some headway on the repairs.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, about 60-70% of the hole in the mysterious canyon has been fixed while the other two are about 80-90% of the way done. Some other obvious flaws are also being fixed.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s voice sounded.


    The reason the mysterious canyon was only 60-70% fixed was due to the fact that Sovereigns had fought here, and the three Void God Realms had used some of their power here. Therefore, the repairing speed of this place was the slowest.


    ¡°Looks like the next group will also appear from here.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly closed his eyes. Over the past couple days, even though he was recovering, he still spent some time on comprehension.


    After touching the intent of Sovereigns, he started to understand more about the purple-colored lightning.


    Apart from that, the Water Spirit Divine Change had also been inspected by Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°The Water Spirit Divine Change uses a unique Water bloodline to turn the user¡¯s solid state into a liquid state. This technique seems incredible, but humans originally consist of 80% water¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to comprehend.


    He copied the theory behind Elder Shui Yun¡¯s Water Spirit Divine Change, and now all he needed to do was copy the actual technique.


    Because Zhao Feng had a Water bloodline himself, his progress in the Water Spirit Divine Change was extremely fast.


    To keep it a secret, he hid within the branches of the Towering Tree Yao.


    Time flew by quickly. It had been half a month since Elder Shui Yun and company came into the ruins.


    Over the last half a month, Zhao Feng understood one-fifth of the purple-colored lightning, and his mental energy started to touch the Origin Core Realm level.


    After all, he had merged with the Towering Tree Yao for a long time, and he fought with a Sovereign.


    ¡°Apart from my cultivation, which is advancing toward the peak True Lord Rank, my other aspects already aren¡¯t much different from a normal Sovereign, and they may even have the advantage in some areas.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt like he had improved a lot.


    In this course of time, thirty-eight cursed ghost-corpses had been crafted and, with the addition of these corpses, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s strength would increase dramatically.


    On this day, there was a disturbance in space within the mysterious canyon.


    Weng~~


    A silver hole appeared in the center of the canyon.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, watch out. The second group is arriving through that hole.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit warned.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    More than a dozen powerful auras jumped out from the hole.


    The leader was a slightly fat, lazy youth, whose aura had reached the Origin Core Realm and was much stronger than normal Sovereigns.


    It was Lu Tianyi.

 549 Zhao Feng’s Welcome Gif

    Lu Tianyi¡¯s group had one Sovereign, three half step Origin Core Realms and ten peak True Lord Ranks.


    The number this time was smaller than last time.


    From this one could see that Zhao Feng¡¯s repairing already had an effect but these people all had powerful auras and were stronger than others of the same cultivation.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, come out and die!¡±


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s eyes were filled with cold killing intent and he locked onto Zhao Feng straight away.


    Battle intent surged amongst the members behind him.


    It was obvious that this group was led by Lu Tianyi, a battle maniac.


    Amongst the group was a beautiful young girl who had the symbol of a moon on her forehead and her purple hair blew in the wind.


    Her every smile seemed to be filled with magic.


    Mysterious, unique, special.


    She was ¡°Zhuang Wan¡¯er¡± from the Moon Demon Palace and had entered the second floor of the Treasured Palace with Zhao Feng before and received a powerful inheritance.


    ¡°Lu Tianyi, we can meet up with Elder Shui Yun first and plan from the start.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er took out a jade pendant and put her Qi of True Spirit into it.


    However, Lu Tianyi didn¡¯t bother with her and glared at Zhao Feng with cold eyes.


    Now that he had seen his foe, he was filled with hatred.


    Thinking back how he had suppressed Zhao Feng and the Towering Tree Yao, he had still lost.


    He remembered the pain of the scorpion being stuck in his throat.


    ¡°Relax.¡±


    Lu Tianyi spoke in a deep tone: ¡°I have a killing card on him and even without it I can kill him easily.¡±


    After saying that his body started to radiate Yuan Qi and seemed to become the centre of the world.


    Many people behind him licked their lips and the battle seemed to start.


    Under this situation even Zhao Feng and the Towering Tree Yao felt a massive pressure.


    ¡°What a strong aura¡­.¡±


    The Skeleton Division Leader in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl felt his heart shake.


    He guessed that the second group of the three sects had probably arrived.


    ¡°Hehe, how can I not give you all a present?¡±


    Zhao Feng sat still and wasn¡¯t scared.


    As soon as he finished saying this his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye sent a whisp of mysterious mental energy into the ground.


    Huang!


    The earth below Lu Tianyi started to shake and a loud roar came from below.


    Crack!


    The ground in the middle of the mysterious canyon exploded and an ancient aura seeped out.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The group became unstable and felt unable to breathe from the pressure.


    Even someone as strong as Lu Tianyi felt their boy¡¯s become heavy.


    ¡°Everybody watch out, there¡¯s probably a Sovereign level beast hiding here¡­¡­¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er exclaimed and instinctively flew up.


    Wu~~~


    A roar sounded from the crack.


    Boom~


    A terrifying suction force came from the crack.


    ¡°Noooooo!¡±


    ¡°Arghh---¡±


    The group started to panic.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    In the blink of an eye, half of the group had been pulled underground.


    Wah! Wah!


    Only a couple people were able to withstand the suction but all spat out blood.


    Apart from Lu Tianyi, all the others were severely injured.


    Amongst them Zhuang Wan¡¯er wasn¡¯t as injured but still spat out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­ that¡¯s!!!¡±


    The hearts of everyone trembled as they looked at the crack.


    Wu~~


    A ten yard tall stone giant crawled out from the hole and its body was created by a yellow brown stone.


    This stone giant seemed to be of an ancient race and its cultivation had reached the Sovereign level. The pressure from it alone already caused the group to lose half their members.


    ¡°Hehe, are you satisfied with this welcome gift?¡±


    Zhao Feng had a faint smile on his face.


    How would he have not made any preparations after knowing that they would arrive here?


    The outside world might be able to see the normal actions but this stone giant had been hidden in the ground and unable to be detected.


    Without any preparations Lu Tianyi¡¯s group suffered heavy casualties the moment they appeared.


    Above the mountains in the outside world.


    The expressions of all three Void God Realm King¡¯s changed dramatically.


    This second group was a turning point but the fight hadn¡¯t even started and Lu Tianyi¡¯s group had lost half their members.


    Apart from Lu Tianyi and Zhuang Wan¡¯er, all the others were severely injured and unable to fight at their peak.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    Zhao Feng lightly said as he merged with the Wood Spirit Essence Soul to control the stone giant and charge towards Lu Tianyi and company.


    Roar!


    The stone giant radiated a heavy pulling force as its fists smashed towards Lu Tianyi and company.


    Bam! Boom!


    Before the attack even arrived, one or two people were crushed by the power and killed.


    ¡°Fuck off!¡±


    Lu Tianyi roared and sent an sea of gold lights that lit up everything within ten miles.


    Ding Ding Ding ------


    The stone giant was engulfed by countless lights but its body sparkles appeared on where it was hit.


    Even Zhao Feng and the Towering Tree Yao far away were attacked.


    The countless golden lights were extremely sharp and seemed to be able to devour everything in its path.


    Bo~~


    A ripple of water appeared around Zhao Feng and stopped the golden lights whereas the Towering Tree Yao became filled with marks and holes.


    This was just the remaining attack from Lu Tianyi.


    ¡°The stone giant¡¯s defense is extremely strong and seems to have a bloodline similar to Shi Chengtian¡¯s but more pure.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed.


    Lu Tianyi was indeed worthy of being one of the three sects¡¯ top geniuses. Just the damage alone just then was stronger than Elder Shui Yun¡¯s.


    Jiang---- Boom!


    Lu Tianyi and the stone giant clashed together and sent waves of destruction across more than a dozen miles.


    ¡°Arghhhh!¡±


    More cries came from the group.


    Zhao Feng purposely directed the stone giant towards the others and in just a breath or two, only Lu Tianyi and Zhuang Wan¡¯er were still alive.


    The others had all died.


    This situation was extremely horrible for the three sects.


    ¡°Zhuang Wan¡¯er, you meet up with Elder Shui Yun first. I¡¯m going to pay back for what he did to me back then.¡±


    Lu Tianyi pushed Zhuang Wan¡¯er out a mile or two.


    Seeing that the others had all died, Lu Tianyi¡¯s eyes went blood red and used his bloodline power, causing his strength to surge and push back the stone giant.


    ¡°Lu Tianyi is terrifying. Normal Sovereign¡¯s in the Azure Flower Continent probably aren¡¯t able to take a couple hits by him.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but cluck his tongue.


    Back then he didn¡¯t spar with Lu Tianyi but used the little thieving cat to throw the scorpion into Lu Tianyi¡¯s body.


    At this moment in time, Lu Tianyi¡¯s battle power rose and even the stone giant who had an ancient bloodline couldn¡¯t keep up.


    ¡°Unfortunately, this stone giant has been sleeping for too long and although its defense is strong, only 70% of its battle power can be utilised.¡±


    Zhao Feng directed Lu Tianyi further away from the hole. Luckily most of the hole had been fixed and was able to withstand a clash between Sovereigns.


    ¡°Master, let me out. I should be able to take down this brat.¡±


    The Skeleton Division Leader said.


    Over the past period, the number of cursed ghost corpses had reached thirty eight and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Arrays¡¯ strength would¡¯ve risen to another level.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to rush.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head with a smile.


    After merging with the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, not too much of his energy was expended in controlling this giant.


    This stone giant was the strongest existence in the mysterious canyon and was stronger than the Towering Tree Yao and the ancient scorpion.


    Zhao Feng had detected its present last time he had came but didn¡¯t dare to touch it.


    To stop the second round of danger from the three sects, Zhao Feng had used a while to control the stone giant.


    It could be said that apart from the Purple Saint Partial Spirit, no third person knew this secret.


    Peng--- Booom! Bang!


    Lu Tianyi and the stone giant fought and the victor wouldn¡¯t be decided within a short amount of time.


    In terms of battle power Lu Tianyi had the advantage but the stone giant¡¯s defense was too strong and could take the blows of normal Sovereigns head on.


    ¡°Lu Tianyi¡¯s too rushed.¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t blame him. Who knew that Zhao Feng would¡¯ve prepared a stone giant?¡±


    The experts watching sighed.


    If Lu Tianyi decided to first meet up with Elder Shui Yun, the situation wouldn¡¯t be this bad but being a genius, Lu Tianyi wouldn¡¯t admit defeat so easily,


    Furthermore, the person he hated was right in front of him.


    Within the mysterious canyon, the fight had entered a fiery stage and although the stone giant was disadvantaged, it kept on stalling Lu Tianyi with its suction force.


    Sweat started to appear on Lu Tianyi¡¯s forehead.


    His battle power was ignited through the use of bloodline power and couldn¡¯t last too long.


    ¡°Earth grade weapon, Sky Tooth Wolf Moon Blade!¡±


    A cold light flashed through Lu Tianyi¡¯s eyes as a dark silver blade with the head of a growling wolf as the handle appeared on his hand.


    It was a complete Earth grade weapon.


    The second it appeared Zhao Feng felt the Ice Imperial Spear within his bloodline give off an excited feeling and some of its restricted power seemed to awaken.


    ¡°Complete Earth grade weapon? Is this your killing card?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the Ice Imperial Spear give off a chilling coldness and excitement appeared in his eyes. He didn¡¯t think that Lu Tianyi would have a complete Earth grade weapon which could awaken some mysterious power in the Ice Imperial Spear.


    Even his bloodline seemed to be ignited.

 550 Earth-Grade Weapon

    This was the first time Zhao Feng had seen a complete Earth-Grade weapon.


    In the Azure Flower Continent, an Earth-Grade weapon ended a dynasty. They were legendary items even in the outside world.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    A scarlet-purple wolf jumped out of Lu Tianyi¡¯s Sky Tooth Wolf Moon Blade and caused the air to tremble. This strike seemed to become the only thing in the world as the scarlet-purple wolf released an imperial aura.


    The color of the sky changed from this blow. Countless beings in the Purple Saint Ruins trembled in fear.


    ¡°So, this is the true power of an Earth-Grade weapon?¡±


    Zhao Feng sat unmoving and felt that it was becoming hard to breathe.


    It was like a mortal facing an earthquake. An individual¡¯s power was infinitesimal in comparison.


    ¡°A complete Earth-Grade weapon increases one¡¯s strength way too much. Over half of the Sovereigns in the Azure Flower Continent would be killed by this strike.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl shook.


    An Earth-Grade weapon¡¯s true power could only be utilized in the hands of a Sovereign.


    Sovereigns in the Azure Flower Continent only had incomplete Earth-Grade weapons, which were nowhere near as strong as Lu Tianyi¡¯s complete one. Furthermore, Lu Tianyi came from a two-and-a-half-star sect; his cultivation techniques and skills surpassed Sovereigns from the Azure Flower Continent.


    Beng~


    The wolf engulfed the stone giant.


    ¡°Lie down!¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered the stone giant to turn into a stone ball in order to minimize the damage, but even then, an extremely deep gash was left on its body and rocks started to fall off the wound.


    If it were another Sovereign facing such a blow head-on, they would be severely injured, if not dead. However, since the stone giant¡¯s defense was far stronger than others, it was able to survive.


    ¡°Sky Wolf Dragon Slaying Blow!¡±


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s bloodline was ignited once more, and a three-headed Sky Wolf split into three beams of light that pierced toward the stone giant.


    ¡°Get under the ground!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically. This strike was even stronger than before.


    Boom~~~~~


    The stone giant glowed with a deep yellow-brown as it merged into the ground, but it was still injured.


    Everything within ten miles faced the wave of destruction.


    Wu~~~~


    The stone giant roared as another two or three gashes appeared that were even deeper than the first one.


    Its eyes were red as it locked on to Lu Tianyi with hatred.


    Hu~~


    Dust filled the air and the wind blew.


    ¡°Hehe, he¡¯s strong indeed.¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a smile.


    At this moment in time, he slowly gave up on controlling the stone giant. Facing these attacks, the stone giant would attack Lu Tianyi in order to save itself. Only Lu Tianyi was left in its eyes as the flames of hatred engulfed it. It wanted to rip this enemy into shreds.


    Roar!


    Brown-yellow light shot out from the stone giant as its body strengthened even more and seemed to ignite some sort of bloodline as it charged toward Lu Tianyi.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Lu Tianyi snickered coldly as he waved the Earth-Grade weapon and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the stone giant. Of course, he didn¡¯t realize that Zhao Feng had already stopped controlling the stone giant.


    Lu Tianyi only had one goal left, and that was to slay the stone giant and take Zhao Feng¡¯s head.


    His goal was getting closer. He could kill the stone giant within three to five blows.


    ¡°Entertaining.¡±


    Zhao Feng was surrounded by a ripple of water that stopped the aftershocks.


    Seeing the stone giant fall into a life or death situation, he remained calm. It seemed that he wasn¡¯t worried at all about the danger that was about to befall him.


    ¡°Something¡¯s wrong.¡±


    ¡°Zhao Feng can¡¯t be that relaxed if he¡¯s controlling an ancient lifeform.¡±


    Spectators from the outside world saw that something was up.


    ¡°Dammit, Zhao Feng¡¯s already stopped controlling the stone giant.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ face froze, and the expressions of those that heard that changed.


    Everyone realized that Zhao Feng was suddenly a huge threat again.


    In the hearts of the three Void God Realms, the threat that Zhao Feng posed was even higher than the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s. If Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t controlling the stone giant anymore, he would have plenty of time and energy to pose a threat of his own.


    ¡°Sky Wolf Crushing Star!¡±


    Lu Tianyi waved his Sky Tooth Wolf Moon Blade and the head of the wolf released thousands of purple-and-gold beams of light.


    Lu Tianyi was pushing the stone giant to the verge of death.


    He licked his lips. He felt excited; the sense of satisfaction from killing a Sovereign of an ancient species rather than a normal Sovereign was much greater.


    However, at this moment:


    Shua!


    A transparent blue eye appeared in the clouds above Lu Tianyi.


    _Hmm?_


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s heart jumped as he felt a mental energy pressure. At this moment, he was just about to use a secret technique to kill the stone giant.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Azure Eye Piercing Slash!¡±


    The Eye of Heaven turned azure as a glint of faint purple passed through it.


    Shu~~~


    A large half-transparent blade surrounded by purple struck Lu Tianyi.


    The instant the attack came near Lu Tianyi, he felt a destructive aura that could wipe out life.


    At that moment, his soul, bloodline, and even the Earth-Grade weapon were trembling.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Under this situation, he couldn¡¯t kill the stone giant. He had to circulate his Power of Origin Core to protect himself.


    However, his reaction was still too slow. He was too focused on killing the stone giant and didn¡¯t realize that Zhao Feng had already stopped controlling it.


    Shu~~


    Blood spurted out as the strike slashed Lu Tianyi¡¯s body.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    Lu Tianyi roared and tried his best to dodge, but one of his arms was still chopped off by the destructive blade of wind.


    This scene stunned the watching experts in the outside world.


    Many people had seen Zhao Feng attack, but they never thought that he was this dangerous.


    The Eye of Heaven took one of Lu Tianyi¡¯s arms.


    The Azure Eye Piercing Slash was an advanced version of the Heavenly Piercing Eye. It was Zhao Feng¡¯s fastest attack, and this time, Zhao Feng merged the essence of the purple-colored lightning into it along with the Wood Spirit Essence Soul.


    Under such a state, Zhao Feng¡¯s Azure Eye Piercing Slash could instantly slay normal Sovereigns.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Lu Tianyi¡¯s bloodline was extremely strong and allowed him to dodge, the strike might¡¯ve taken his life.


    Hu~


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s back was drenched in cold sweat, and he felt as if he had just walked past the doors of death.


    He finally understood what the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess said before he entered; ¡°Tianyi, although you have a powerful killing move, the biggest threat isn¡¯t the Sovereign level skeleton, but the True Lord Rank Zhao Feng.¡±


    After losing one arm, Lu Tianyi¡¯s battle-power decreased, and the destructive aura of the lightning was eroding his body and destroying his lifeforce. It wasn¡¯t as simple as just losing an arm.


    Wuuuu~~~~


    At the same time, the stone giant counterattacked and used its suction force on Lu Tianyi.


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s body swayed as he was being pincer attacked. The Eye of Heaven was above him and the stone giant was below him.


    What truly made Lu Tianyi¡¯s heart toss and turn was the Eye of Heaven.


    _Ice Soul Shooting Line!_


    A half-transparent blue streak of light descended from the sky and engulfed Lu Tianyi.


    Lu Tianyi was ready for it; he put the Earth-Grade weapon in front of his body to block the blow. However, his body and mind started to slow down.


    Shua!


    After not achieving what it wanted, the Eye of Heaven disappeared from the sky.


    ¡°Now that I¡¯ve understood more of the purple lightning, this is the perfect chance to face a Sovereign head-on.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured to himself. After saying that, his figure vanished.


    In the next instant:


    Weng~


    A pair of purple-azure wings made of wind and lightning grew out from his back as he whistled through the air.


    In the blink of an eye, he arrived on top of Lu Tianyi.


    _What!??_


    Lu Tianyi was fighting with the stone giant when he felt a pressuring and destructive aura of wind and lightning appear above him.


    He never would have imagined that someone could be so fast and have such a terrifying aura and still be someone below the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning Whip!¡±


    A purple-and-azure whip made of wind and lightning condensed in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand. It was dozens of yards long and whistled around Lu Tianyi.


    Pi! Pa! Bam!


    The whip contained a destructive aura that created explosions.


    Shua! Shua!


    The wings behind Zhao Feng sped up. They could even increase his use of wind and lightning.


    Under this state, Zhao Feng¡¯s every action and movement could threaten Sovereigns.


    Lu Tianyi had to face attacks from two opponents. He roared in anger and pain.


    ¡°When did Zhao Feng become so strong? That wisp of Destruction aura is enough to threaten Sovereigns.¡±


    Waves roiled in the heart of the skeletal Division Leader.


    It had recovered the strength of a Sovereign and thought that its chances of escaping were better, but Zhao Feng had apparently already reached such a powerful state.


    ¡°Earth-Grade weapon ¨C Ice Imperial Spear!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed as the figure of an ice-blue spear started to appear in his hand.


    Weng~~


    The figure of the ice-blue spear started to condense, showing its true appearance.

 551 Killing Move

    ¡°Earth-Grade inheritance weapon ¨C Ice Imperial Spear!¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline and the figure of the Earth-Grade spear appeared in front of him.


    This time was different from previous times; the figure of the Earth-Grade weapon kept on condensing until it started to form the true Ice Imperial Spear, not just its shadow.


    Bo~~


    The countless pieces of the Ice Imperial Spear within Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline quickly assembled into one piece and extended on Zhao Feng¡¯s palm.


    Usually, when the Ice Imperial Spear was split up, its aura was hard to sense, but it was the opposite when it was in this state.


    Weng~~


    The phantom figure of the Earth-Grade weapon turned into a dark-blue crystalline spear.


    Ice Imperial Spear. A complete Earth-Grade weapon.


    Zhao Feng felt his bloodline rise to a new level, and the power sleeping in the Ice Imperial Spear started to awaken. This was all due to Lu Tianyi¡¯s Earth-Grade weapon; it ignited Zhao Feng¡¯s sleeping Ice Imperial Spear.


    ¡°Earth-Grade weapon¡­ you also have one¡­.¡±


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s expression changed dramatically as his body turned cold.


    The moment the Ice Imperial Spear appeared, a cold, ancient imperial aura froze the air, and even his Sky Tooth Wolf Moon Blade started to tremble uneasily.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Spear, it¡¯s _that_ Earth-Grade inheritance weapon!?¡±


    The three Void God Realms stared at Zhao Feng¡¯s Ice Imperial Spear and couldn¡¯t help but exclaim. They knew the history and background of the Ice Imperial Spear.


    Within the mysterious canyon, the auras of the two Earth-Grade weapons clashed with one another in the air.


    ¡°Intent of the Ice Emperor, go!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his bloodline power and Source of True Spirit deplete extremely quickly. His Ice Imperial Spear was like a bottomless pit.


    Shu~~~~


    Zhao Feng thrusted, and the Ice Imperial Spear radiated with a cold light as it shot forward. Everything around it was instantly frozen, and a forbidden cold spread across ten miles.


    In that instant, Lu Tianyi and even the Towering Tree Yao stiffened as they were covered in a layer of frost.


    Shua!


    Lu Tianyi managed to wave his Sky Tooth Wolf Moon Blade, causing the scarlet-purple wolf head to clash with the cold. However, everything that met the Ice Imperial Spear froze.


    Pa!


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning flapped and Zhao Feng shifted a hundred yards away to evade the clash of powers.


    Wah!


    Although he managed to dodge the attack, he was still hit by the shockwave and spat out a mouthful of blood as his face went white.


    ¡°Although I can use the Ice Imperial Spear, my True Lord Rank cultivation is a bit too low.¡±


    A ripple of water surrounded Zhao Feng as he started to recover.


    On the other hand, Lu Tianyi¡¯s situation was much worse. He took the clash of two Earth-Grade weapons head-on.


    His body swayed and blood dripped from his mouth, which was soon frozen.


    ¡°Lu Tianyi¡¯s lost.¡±


    The golden skeleton sighed. The demonic lord surrounded in black mist also shook his head.


    After losing an arm and having his lifeforce eroded by the purple lightning already, Lu Tianyi¡¯s life was now on the line.


    ¡°Tianyi didn¡¯t lose in terms of strength, he was just too rash.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess shook her head and sighed. She didn¡¯t disagree with the other two, but she didn¡¯t have much worry on her face.


    ¡°Lu Tianyi, you¡¯ve lost.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning fluttered, and the Ice Imperial Spear in his hands was like the ocean ¨C boundless and infinite.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, so what if you defeat me by an ambush?¡±


    Lu Tianyi gritted his teeth and used his True Force to suppress his injuries.


    Mockery appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face as he heard Lu Tianyi¡¯s cursing. He was too disdainful to explain.


    Lu Tianyi lost because of three reasons.


    Firstly, he was attacked by both Zhao Feng and the stone giant at the same time. It was like facing two Sovereigns at once.


    The second was that he underestimated Zhao Feng¡¯s attack. Zhao Feng slashed off one of Lu Tianyi¡¯s arms right at the beginning, greatly decreasing his battle-strength.


    The last reason was the Ice Imperial Spear. Although they both had Earth-Grade weapons, Zhao Feng¡¯s Ice Imperial Spear was a more unique inheritance weapon, which suppressed Lu Tianyi¡¯s Earth-Grade weapon.


    All of these factors contributed to Lu Tianyi¡¯s defeat.


    ¡°Hehe, Lu Tianyi, defeat means defeat. Is the stone giant not part of Zhao Feng¡¯s strength? Is control not a part of strength?¡±


    A female¡¯s voice sounded in the air. It came from the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    ¡°You¡­!¡±


    Lu Tianyi was speechless, and his face went white and red.


    Indeed. The stone giant had been controlled by Zhao Feng, and that was the ability of his bloodline. Was a beast tamer not allowed to use their beasts in a fight?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven also came at the right moment. It could appear anywhere and was also part of Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.


    All of that didn¡¯t escape the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s eyes.


    It was because of that that even the Purple Saint Partial Spirit couldn¡¯t help but jump out and mock Lu Tianyi after hearing what he said.


    ¡°Lu Tianyi, I¡¯m not your match head-on, but unfortunately, this is a real life-or-death battle.¡±


    Zhao Feng said emotionlessly.


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s battle-power was indeed terrifying. Even he and the skeletal Division Leader combined might not be his match. Furthermore, the Ice Imperial Spear could only appear for a short amount of time.


    _Retreat!_


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s face was filled with hatred and unwillingness as he turned into a streak of gold light and he sped off into the distance.


    _Although I¡¯m severely injured, I just need to find Elder Shui Yun and she¡¯ll be able to heal me quickly with her skills._


    Lu Tianyi thought.


    He was extremely unresigned. He was far stronger yet lost to a True Lord Rank. He couldn¡¯t take it.


    ¡°You want to run?¡±


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning behind Zhao Feng flapped as he chased after Lu Tianyi.


    In terms of speed Zhao Feng was already slightly faster than Lu Tianyi, and the latter was heavily injured.


    After all, his mental energy had touched the level of a Sovereign and he had his Wings of Wind and Lightning, whereas Lu Tianyi was in a horrible state.


    _Wind Lightning Eye Flame!_


    __


    _Azure Eye Piercing Slash!_


    Zhao Feng used these two powerful techniques and sent Lu Tianyi spiraling toward the ground.


    ¡°Tianyi, hold on!¡±


    Over a dozen miles away, Elder Shui Yun led Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er in Lu Tianyi¡¯s direction.


    ¡°Too late.¡±


    Zhao Feng had put the Ice Imperial Spear away already, and Lu Tianyi half-kneeled on the ground. He was severely injured and his aura was weak. His battle-power was only 20-30% of his peak.


    In that state, Zhao Feng was certain that, even without his bloodline and Ice Imperial Spear, he could kill Lu Tianyi.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ the person that shall die¡­ will be you!¡±


    Lu Tianyi gritted his teeth and took out a faint golden jade item.


    The instant it appeared, an invisible soul-like feeling appeared, and Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    ¡°Void God Protection!¡±


    Lu Tianyi snapped the jade slip and a golden-robed figure appeared behind him. The air was instantly filled with an unparalleled aura.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng, the skeletal Division Leader in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, and even Elder Shui Yun and company felt a pressure on their souls.


    ¡°Void God Protection? Lu Tianyi has such a hidden card!?¡±


    ¡°That golden-robed figure seems to be the strongest Void God Realm King in the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect ¨C Martial God Jin Huang!¡±


    The experts watching in the outside world broke out into discussion, and the golden skeleton and the demonic lord looked at each other in surprise.


    A smile appeared on the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ face.


    Although Lu Tianyi was strong, he wasn¡¯t very experienced. How would the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess not know that?


    Even then, she still decided to choose Lu Tianyi as the leader of the second group.


    A complete Earth-Grade weapon was Lu Tianyi¡¯s hidden card while the Void God Protection was his life-saver.


    ¡°This Void God Protection is stronger than most others and can instantly kill a Small Origin Core Realm. Furthermore, that Zhao Feng only has the battle-power of a Sovereign, he isn¡¯t actually one.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ smile became bigger.


    Right at this moment:


    ¡°Jade Dragon Protection!¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly as he took out a jade dragon.


    With a crack, a roaring ancient dragon appeared.


    Wu~~~


    A deep roar from an ancient true dragon resounded across the sky. The figure of the dragon seemed to overrule the heavens and earth.


    _What!!?_


    The expressions of the spectators and the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess froze.


    ¡°That¡¯s a Void God Protection made from an ancient true dragon¡¯s blood essence.¡±


    ¡°Once an ancient true dragon matures, their battle-power easily surpasses other Void God Realm Kings¡­.¡±


    Many from the three sects were knowledgeable.


    Boom~~~


    The two powers clashed, causing the dimension to tremble.


    Shu~~~~~~


    In just half a breath, the dragon devoured the golden-robed figure.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s expression was gray like ash. He didn¡¯t think Zhao Feng would also have a Void God Protection that was even stronger than his own.


    Bam!


    Lu Tianyi quickly retreated, but he was still blasted off several miles by the Jade Dragon Protection. His life or death was unknown.


    ¡°Tianyi!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun flashed through the air and surrounded Lu Tianyi¡¯s body with a coating of water.


    Shua! Shua!


    Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er followed immediately after and stood on her left and right as they looked at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­.¡±


    A dark mist spread throughout the air. Thirty-eight cursed ghost-corpses and a gold-and-silver skeleton appeared.


    The skeletal Division Leader finally came out of the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl again.


    It couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Zhao Feng alone defeated the entire second group from the three sects.

 552 Sending Failure

    In the Purple Saint Ruins, the clash between Zhao Feng and Lu Tianyi¡¯s group finally ended.


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s body froze, and there was no longer an aura of life coming from him. No one knew whether he was dead or alive.


    In such a state, even if he wasn¡¯t dead, he wasn¡¯t far from it.


    The only one from Lu Tianyi¡¯s group that was unharmed was Zhuang Wan¡¯er.


    In the outside world, the spectating experts from the three sects had shocked expressions.


    Not only was Lu Tianyi strong, he also had a powerful killing move, but he was suppressed by Zhao Feng from beginning till end.


    In fact, this was the second time Lu Tianyi had been defeated by Zhao Feng.


    Last time, he needed a Void God Realm King to save him. At this moment, the three Void God Realms fell into dead-silence.


    It was obvious that none of them thought that their plan for taking the Purple Saint Ruins would be destroyed by a measly True Lord Rank.


    Hu~~~


    Dark mist condensed in the air and started to erode everything within a mile or two with its curse.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag and slowly pushed the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array toward Elder Shui Yun and company.


    Elder Shui Yun went to save Lu Tianyi and took out the Green Water Fallen Pearl.


    Weng~~


    A layer of water formed the Green Sky Water Border and blocked the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s power. At the same time, Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er both took out their own tattered Earth-Grade weapons. Their auras were extremely powerful and their battle-power came close to a Sovereign¡¯s.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    With their combined strength, the two destroyed any power from the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array that came near them. Their combined battle-power was completely comparable to a Sovereign, and they would even be able to exchange a couple blows with Lu Tianyi at his peak.


    ¡°That bitch hasn¡¯t fully recovered yet, and those two brats aren¡¯t any threat.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader awaited Zhao Feng¡¯s order.


    Thirty-eight cursed ghost-corpses formed the array and, after absorbing the blood essence of countless beasts, the skeletal Division Leader could crush normal Sovereigns with it.


    ¡°Be careful!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun and company were wary, and the Elder was extremely uneasy.


    On one end, there was Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s strength, and on the other end, Lu Tianyi¡¯s injuries were worse than she imagined. Even she didn¡¯t feel confident that she could heal him.


    However, Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er revealed no signs of retreat.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    Zhao Feng said expressionlessly.


    Pa!


    In the next instant, the Wings of Wind and Lightning flapped and Zhao Feng disappeared.


    Shua!


    The skeletal Division Leader also vanished at the same time.


    __


    _Gone?_


    Elder Shui Yun and company looked at each other in surprise. Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er didn¡¯t understand. Zhao Feng had the advantage. Why didn¡¯t he pursue it?


    Hu~


    Elder Shui Yun let out a breath. The strength of that blue-haired youth had reached a level that even she was wary of. He could control Sovereign beasts, and he had an Earth-Grade weapon, a Sovereign slave, and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    And the most troublesome thing was his eye-bloodline.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng landed in the mysterious canyon.


    ¡°Master, those chicks are in a weak state right now. If we don¡¯t attack now and she rescues Lu Tianyi¡­¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said unwillingly from within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    ¡°Now¡¯s not the right time. Who knows if they still have a killing move similar to the Void God Protection? Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er are both disciples of Void God Realms.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head and the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart twitched after it heard that. It knew how terrifying a Void God Protection was.


    Even when it was at its peak, it would be severely injured if not killed if it was hit by a Void God Protection.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng¡¯s Jade Dragon Protection was broken.


    Even if only one of those three had a Void God Protection, the situation would be horrible.


    ¡°As for Lu Tianyi, his organs have been crushed and his lifeforce has almost flickered out. Even his soul is sleeping.¡±


    Zhao Feng said. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had scanned Lu Tianyi¡¯s body, so Zhao Feng knew his situation even better than Elder Shui Yun.


    ¡°Then what should we do now?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader seemed to think.


    ¡°Drag it out.¡±


    A light flashed through Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, ¡°The Purple Saint Ruins is our territory; we can become stronger here, while they need to spend a lot of effort to move a single step.¡±


    A while later, Zhao Feng landed back onto the Towering Tree Yao and started to heal it.


    There were many treasures in the Purple Saint Ruins, so it wasn¡¯t hard to fix the Towering Tree Yao¡¯s injuries.


    However, his most important task right now was still to fix the dimensional hole.


    The skeletal Division Leader quickly started crafting cursed ghost-corpses in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    In his spare time, Zhao Feng would occasionally annoy Elder Shui Yun and company.


    In the blink of an eye, another half-month passed, and half of the hundred corpses had been refined.


    On the other hand, Elder Shui Yun had to keep running from Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven, and Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er were in desperate situations several times.


    If it weren¡¯t for Elder Shui Yun, those two would¡¯ve already died ages ago. Zhao Feng was more wary and troubled by Elder Shui Yun.


    In his eyes, she was more troublesome than Lu Tianyi. She had a powerful defense and could quickly heal herself and the others very quickly. As long as she wasn¡¯t killed, no matter how severely injured the others were, they could recover.


    In the past few days, even though Lu Tianyi hadn¡¯t woken up, his aura had become more stable. Zhao Feng had to admit he had underestimated Elder Shui Yun¡¯s methods.


    Of course, that wasn¡¯t entirely his fault. If he was to know that Elder Shui Yun was famed even across all three sects for her healing abilities, he wouldn¡¯t have underestimated her.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, the three major holes are almost fully fixed. Even the canyon is 90% fixed.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s voice sounded. She was now half-owner of the Purple Saint Ruins and could sense the dimension extremely well.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your control of the situation has been extremely strong. The three sects only have a 30% chance at most to open another spatial hole.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit praised.


    Even when the first two groups came, Zhao Feng focused on fixing the holes and didn¡¯t spend much time pursuing them.


    His eyes looked ahead. Stopping the three sects from entering the ruins was the critical matter.


    Two days later, Zhao Feng once again felt a disturbance in space as he sat on the Towering Tree Yao.


    However, this time was different from the last. It seemed to not contain enough energy. Because the holes were fixed, the space was stronger, so the difficulty of opening a spatial hole increased drastically.


    ¡°Good news, the three sects didn¡¯t succeed.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said, allowing Zhao Yufei and the skeletal Division Leader to both let out a breath.


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth. He had given up killing Elder Shui Yun and company for this.


    ¡°So, this was Zhao Feng¡¯s plan?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t help but admire Zhao Feng. He didn¡¯t care about momentary victory and managed to stop the three sects from sending any more people.


    As time passed, the success rate of the three sects sending in more people would become smaller and smaller, and at the end, the chances would be infinitely close to zero.


    ¡°Even if Lu Tianyi recovers, he¡¯s not a threat anymore. Without any more support, we can ¡®close the door and beat the dogs¡¯ now.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s smile became bigger.


    It could be said that the clash between the three sects and himself was coming to an end.


    Victory was almost fully decided.


    In the outside world, above the mountains:


    ¡°My Lords, the third time of opening the spatial hole has resulted in failure.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong sighed helplessly, but he wasn¡¯t surprised. It was extremely difficult to open it a third time and he had expected failure.


    At this moment in time, everyone was dead-silent. The three Void God Realms were motionless, and the Sovereigns didn¡¯t dare to make any noise.


    ¡°Grandmaster Yin Kong, is there no hope at all?¡±


    The Saint Aunt Moon Goddess broke the silence.


    ¡°As long as the Purple Saint Partial Spirit doesn¡¯t die, the hopes of creating a spatial hole during the next two or three years is extremely low. Of course, we can still manage to send in one more person this time, but the chance of death exceeds 99%.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong said grimly.


    _Over 99% chance of dying?_


    The people present shook their heads.


    ¡°Are there any methods to lower that chance?¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess didn¡¯t give up. If they were able to send in even just one more person, they could turn the tide.


    She couldn¡¯t just not care about Lu Tianyi, Ye Yanyu, and company.


    Ye Yanyu was even her personal disciple.


    ¡°If there¡¯s someone who¡¯s talented in the Laws of Space who¡¯s also prepared to pay a heavy price, they have a 60-70% chance of entering the Purple Saint Ruins.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong smiled faintly.


    _Specialized in spatial laws?_


    Everyone on the mountain looked at each other. There was no suitable candidate.


    Shua!


    The group¡¯s gaze soon landed on Grandmaster Yin Kong, and the eyes of the three Void God Realms lit up.


    Grandmaster Yin Kong had a spatial eye-bloodline and, being one of the four Array Grandmasters, was a Sovereign himself.


    No one doubted his strength and expertise.


    Grandmaster Yin Kong remained calm in front of all their gazes.


    ¡°Grandmaster Yin Kong, what¡¯s your requirement?¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess asked.


    ¡°I only have one requirement ¨C give Zhao Feng to me afterwards.¡±

 553 Nine Deadly Yin Bone

    Three days later, in the Purple Saint Ruins, Zhao Feng received some bad news.


    ¡°Lu Tianyi¡¯s woken up?¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured to himself as his blue hair blew in the wind. Although he was prepared for something like this, he didn¡¯t think that Lu Tianyi would wake up so fast.


    With Lu Tianyi¡¯s battle-power and Elder Shui Yun supporting him, even Zhao Feng would be wary.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng used the Eye of Heaven and soon saw Lu Tianyi being healed by Elder Shui Yun.


    As if sensing something, a barrier appeared around Elder Shui Yun.


    Zhao Feng glanced toward Lu Tianyi and found that he was extremely weak and didn¡¯t have much battle-power left.


    After returning his consciousness back to the mysterious canyon, his eyebrows furrowed, ¡°Elder Shui Yun¡¯s healing abilities are too strong; it¡¯ll be hard to defeat her. Apart from that, there¡¯s also Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er. The combination of those two is comparable to a Sovereign.¡±


    Elder Shui Yun was chosen for her stability, and reality had proven that she was a good choice. If it were a normal Sovereign instead of her, they would¡¯ve been killed multiple times over by Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°If Lu Tianyi recovers to his peak strength, things will be quite troublesome unless the Hundred Corpse plan is complete¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said.


    Only half of the Hundred Corpse plan had been completed, but with the skeletal Division Leader managing the array, there shouldn¡¯t be many opponents at the Small Origin Core Realm that could fight it. At least it wouldn¡¯t be much of a problem to battle with Elder Shui Yun.


    ¡°Another two or three months are needed to finish refining the hundred corpses.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head. Once the Hundred Corpse plan was complete, he could easily kill a Sovereign, but that goal wouldn¡¯t be able to be reached for a while.


    ¡°There¡¯s one way we can increase our battle-power, but it requires outside help.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed.


    _Outside help?_


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit understood.


    ¡°What outside help?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t get it.


    Half a day later, in the center of the mysterious canyon:


    Weng~~~


    A dreamy mist appeared as the Purple Saint Treasured Palace descended from the sky.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng stepped into the third floor of the Treasured Palace.


    ¡°Senior Purple Saint, are there any Earth-Grade weapons that would be suitable for it?¡±


    Zhao Feng pointed toward the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Earth-Grade weapon? Me?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s mouth went wide with shock.


    ¡°There are three normal Earth-Grade weapons. Let it choose one and try it out.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit waved her hand and three balls of light floated toward the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°You mean that¡­ I can choose an Earth-Grade weapon?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t hide the excitement in its heart.


    Earth-Grade weapon. They were legendary weapons in the Azure Flower Continent.


    One of the reasons why it was always suppressed was because it didn¡¯t have an Earth-Grade weapon. If it had one, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s strength would rise dramatically.


    A while later, the skeletal Division Leader confirmed its choice. It was a dark silver bone, around three yards long and extremely sharp.


    ¡°Nine Deadly Yin Bone: Earth-Grade weapon. It is suitable for those cultivating the Dao of Bone Strengthening. This bone can be merged into the user¡¯s bones and increase their power and defense. When attacking, an air of ferocity can charge into the opponent¡¯s soul. The more beings killed by it, the stronger the air of ferocity¡­.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit summarized the specialty of the weapon.


    The skeletal Division Leader loved the Nine Deadly Yin Bone, and it was suitable for it.


    An hour later, the Nine Deadly Yin Bone had merged into the Skeleton Division Leader¡¯s gold-and-silver body.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body became darker and gave off a more powerful aura.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. It¡¯s indeed worthy of being an Earth-Grade weapon. Even if I don¡¯t use the weapon itself, my battle-power has increased a lot.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was overwhelmed by joy. A hundred years of cultivation didn¡¯t give as much improvement as this one weapon.


    Three days later, the skeletal Division Leader finally got the hang of using the Nine Deadly Yin Bone. The bone was extremely suitable for it, almost as if the bone was made specifically for it. Not too much time was needed to familiarize itself with its new weapon.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we can¡¯t let Lu Tianyi recover.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t wait any longer.


    On that day, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader found where Lu Tianyi and company were healing.


    Before the battle, Zhao Feng used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to control several beast hordes nearby and ordered them to attack Elder Shui Yun and company.


    Booom~~~~~


    The cave that Elder Shui Yun and company were in was soon overrun by beasts.


    _Ghost Corpse Cursed Array!_


    Zhao Feng waved the flag and the mist surrounded an area of two miles. This time, Zhao Feng controlled the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array himself and timed it perfectly.


    The instant Elder Shui Yun and company killed a wave of beasts, they fell into Zhao Feng¡¯s Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Wu~~~~


    Fifty cursed ghost-corpses, an air of death, and the power of the curse were enough to turn a normal half-step Origin Core Realm into a puddle of blood.


    ¡°Green Sky Water Border!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun took out her Green Water Fallen Pearl and formed a defensive barrier. However, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s power was stronger than before, so part of the power of the curse still seeped in.


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er and Ye Yanyu within the Green Sky Water Border both harrumphed. Their incomplete Earth-Grade weapons were able to block it for a while, but Lu Tianyi was extremely weak and the erosion of the curse made his face go pale-white.


    ¡°Earth-Grade weapon ¨C Nine Deadly Yin Bone!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader stabbed out, and a bone of death struck the Green Sky Water Border.


    Crack!


    The Green Sky Water Border shook and cracks started to appear.


    Wu~~


    The power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and the Nine Deadly Yin Bone instantly charged in. The former devoured life while the latter contained terrifying power that destroyed life.


    In just a couple breaths, the Green Sky Water Border had become dim. Apart from Elder Shui Yun, the others were all injured.


    ¡°Hehe, an Earth-Grade weapon sure makes a big difference.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled. Although he had the Ice Imperial Spear, his cultivation hadn¡¯t reached the Origin Core Realm so he couldn¡¯t maintain it for long.


    On the other hand, the skeletal Division Leader was a proper Sovereign. On top of that, the Nine Deadly Yin Bone and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array supported one another.


    Shu~~~


    The figure of a sharp bone kept stabbing at the Green Sky Water border and punctured it with every strike.


    Elder Shui Yun held on while Lu Tianyi and the other two struggled as well.


    The skeletal Division Leader wanted to charge in several times but was stopped by Zhao Feng, as he was worried that at least one of them might have a Void God Protection or something similar.


    Being within the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, they had a strong defensive barrier that could partially block the power from a Void God Protection.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s too calm and wary.¡±


    Elder Shui Yun gritted her teeth. She still had powerful secret techniques that were almost as strong as a Void God Protection.


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er had a Void God Protection, and although Ye Yanyu didn¡¯t have one this time, she had methods to escape.


    However, even though Zhao Feng had the advantage, he was still using the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to slowly push forwards.


    As time passed, the bodies of Elder Shui Yun and company became weak.


    Elder Shui Yun¡¯s body had almost fully healed, but after being continuously annoyed by Zhao Feng and having to heal Lu Tianyi and company, she only had 60-70% of her Yuan Qi.


    Lu Tianyi was extremely weak and only had 30% of his battle-power.


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er and Ye Yanyu weren¡¯t much better off. As the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and the Nine Deadly Yin Bone kept on eroding them, their strength decreased.


    Finally, an hour later, the four started to run.


    ¡°Chase them!¡±


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader followed. After they pursued them, Zhao Feng would occasionally control beast hordes nearby to block them.


    Four hours later, Zhao Feng successfully forced Elder Shui Yun and company into despair. In front of them was a faint purple mist. They had reached the edges of the Purple Saint Ruins.


    There was nowhere left to escape.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader looked at each other and smiled. They had the absolute advantage. Because they were wary of the group¡¯s hidden moves, they didn¡¯t forcefully attack and instead kept exhausting their Yuan Qi.


    ¡°If we don¡¯t get any support, we¡¯re going to die here.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er was worried. Although she had a Void God Protection, it was a one-use item. Furthermore, the Void God Protection could only severely injure or kill Sovereigns head-on.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were extremely careful and hid in the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. Killing them both at once would be extremely hard.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the three sects just tried to open a spatial hole again, but it failed.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice sounded.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng let out a breath and smiled.


    ¡°Not good! There¡¯s an expert that specializes in spatial laws that passed through the cracked spatial hole and entered the Purple Saint Ruins!¡±


    A panicked voice sounded.


    Shua!


    At the same time, a silver-eyed youth appeared in the center of the mysterious canyon. Behind him, a small silver-colored crack in the air disappeared.


    Normally, such a small hole wouldn¡¯t be able to fit a human through it, but this mysterious silver-eyed youth had broken the norm.

 554 A Terrifying Enemy!

    Within the mysterious canyon, a silver-eyed youth flashed out from the spatial hole.


    ¡°Indeed worthy of being a Grandmaster of arrays.¡±


    ¡°Apparently, Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eye-bloodline is related to the Eye of Space, one of the Eight Great God Eyes.¡±


    The spectators in the outside world sighed.


    The silver-eyed youth was Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    ¡°Half of my bloodline power was needed to stabilize the spatial hole, but this is enough.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong murmured to himself.


    At the same time:


    Shua!


    A half-transparent Eye of Heaven appeared in the sky right above Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s head.


    ¡°Hehe¡­. Interesting. I can¡¯t believe there¡¯s such a powerful eye-bloodline apart from the Eight Great God Eye bloodlines. This technique has merged into space.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong revealed an interested look as he saw the Eye of Heaven.


    Zhao Feng felt slightly uneasy as he looked down from the sky. This was the first time he had seen someone who understood the Eye of Heaven so well.


    ¡°So, you¡¯re Zhao Feng?¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong didn¡¯t attack, he simply inspected the Eye of Heaven. Maybe he understood that attacking the Eye of Heaven was useless, or maybe he had other intentions.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t respond.


    Crack!


    The earth shook and an ancient aura poured out from the ground. An enormous suction force came from the crack.


    Bam!


    A stone giant charged out from the ground and punched toward Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    _Hmm?_


    Grandmaster Yin Kong felt the air around him become heavy.


    With such a terrifying suction force on top of being ambushed, even Small Origin Core Realms wouldn¡¯t be able to dodge this attack.


    However, something weird happened. Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s figure was suddenly split in half, and the other half had appeared behind the giant.


    It was as if an invisible door had opened in space, and Grandmaster Yin Kong was stepping through it.


    The stone giant¡¯s fist missed, and Grandmaster Yin Kong appeared behind the stone giant¡¯s body.


    Shua!


    There were no signs of any preparation, he simply appeared.


    ¡°So, this is someone who specializes in the laws of Space?¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s movement obviously contained the laws of Space, and even Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had difficulty seeing what happened.


    Furthermore, even if Zhao Feng could understand the theory behind it, it would be hard for him to copy it since he wasn¡¯t talented in the laws of Space.


    It was because of this that Grandmaster Yin Kong was able to enter the Purple Saint Ruins.


    ¡°Spatial Void Sword Wave!¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eyes glittered with silver as he swiped his hand. The next instant, a faint silver ripple passed through the area around the stone giant.


    Zhiiii!


    The stone giant roared as the silver ripple passed through its body.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The stone giant started to crack, and layers of stone fell from its body.


    In just a breath or two, the stone giant had hundreds of cracks.


    ¡°What a weird attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng suppressed the shock in his heart. It seemed as if faint silver lines had cut into the stone giant¡¯s body and, even with its powerful defense, it had no resistance against Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    A couple breaths later:


    Plop!


    The stone giant¡¯s body fell to the ground in dozens of pieces.


    Sii!


    The experts in the outside world watching took in cold breaths.


    ¡°This Grandmaster Yin Kong is way too scary.¡±


    ¡°The stone giant¡¯s an ancient race and has extremely strong defense. Even Great Origin Core Realms wouldn¡¯t be able to kill it so easily.¡±


    The Sovereigns of the three sects had dazed expressions.


    It was obvious that Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s strength made the three Void God Realms happy.


    ¡°This power¡¯s far too terrifying. He ignored its defense and defeated the stone giant instantly.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart trembled. Elder Shui Yun and Lu Tianyi were stronger than normal Sovereigns, but they were nothing in front of Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    After slaying the stone giant, Grandmaster Yin Kong clapped his hands and left the mysterious canyon.


    Shua! Shua!


    Afterimages were left behind as Grandmaster Yin Kong flashed through the air. His every step would take him at least a mile or two, and he walked with confidence.


    __


    _Purple Destruction ¨C Azure Eye Piercing Slash!_


    The Eye of Heaven in the sky glinted with a faint purple.


    Shu~~


    A large transparent blade covered in faint purple lightning shot through the air toward Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    Bo~~


    A silver ripple was left behind as Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s figure appeared two miles away.


    Throughout the entire process, he didn¡¯t even look up at the Eye of Heaven as he dodged the attack easily.


    ¡°He dodged it?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart fell even though he expected this, as his eye-bloodline couldn¡¯t actually lock on to Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    Of course, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that Grandmaster Yin Kong not only specialized in the laws of Space as a cultivator, he was a specialist in spatial arrays as well, so there was probably no one among the Origin Core Realm that could truly lock on to him.


    Shua! Shua!


    Grandmaster Yin Kong started to close in on the location of Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader.


    At the edges of the Purple Saint Ruins, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s strength was fully suppressing Elder Shui Yun and company while the Earth-Grade Nine Deadly Yin Bone was eroding them.


    ¡°Hmm? There seems to be some reinforcements.¡±


    Elder Shui Yun took out a token and sensed something from it.


    Shua! Shua!


    Grandmaster Yin Kong walked forward with his hands behind his back. He was closing in fast.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, I¡¯ll leave these guys to you. The person that has come in this time exceeds the limit of what we can fight.¡±


    Zhao Feng gave the control of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°I should be able to suppress them for a while.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader took over the black flag and merged the Nine Deadly Yin Bone into its body.


    With the Nine Deadly Yin Bone merged into its body, although its offense wasn¡¯t as strong, the bone increased its defense.


    ¡°It¡¯s Grandmaster Yin Kong!¡±


    Ye Yanyu saw the silver-eyed youth closing in.


    ¡°Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s actually come into the ruins personally? Looks like we¡¯re saved.¡±


    Elder Shui Yun revealed a smile and everyone let out a breath.


    After all, Grandmaster Yin Kong was one of the four array Grandmasters and a Sovereign that specialized in spatial laws.


    According to what Elder Shui Yun knew, every one of the four array Grandmasters surpassed normal Sovereigns in terms of battle-power. One of the four was even a Void God Realm.


    Shua!


    Grandmaster Yin Kong quickly arrived at the battlefield.


    At this moment in time, the skeletal Division Leader was suppressing the four alone while Zhao Feng started to inspect Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    ¡°Grandmaster Yin Kong, save us!¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er yelled.


    The power of the curse was devouring their blood essence.


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong inspected Zhao Feng with a smile, and the latter had a weird feeling. It felt as if Grandmaster Yin Kong was familiar with him.


    From the surface, it seemed that Grandmaster Yin Kong had no intentions of attacking Zhao Feng.


    ¡°May I know what you have to say?¡±


    Zhao Feng was expressionless.


    ¡°Surrender. You have no chance against me. I¡¯m just interested in your left eye. If you cooperate, there might be a chance for you to live.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong said.


    _Surrender?_


    If this word came from a normal Sovereign, Zhao Feng would find it funny, but right now, his expression was solemn.


    ¡°This Grandmaster Yin Kong is extremely confident and direct¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s aim was clear. He wanted Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s will and calmness didn¡¯t waver at all. Ever since the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had merged with him, it had been a part of his existence and identity.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you agree or not. The result is the same.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong shook his head and laughed.


    He looked toward the skeletal Division Leader with a faint smile, ¡°En, let¡¯s kill you first.¡±


    ¡°Silver Spatial Blade!¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong waved his hand and a faint silver blade flashed through the air.


    Shu~~~ Crack!


    The skeletal Division Leader had no chance to avoid it. The silver spatial blade sliced right through its bones.


    _Not good!_


    Zhao Feng was preparing to defend himself from Grandmaster Yin Kong and didn¡¯t think that he would attack the skeletal Division Leader first.


    Once Grandmaster Yin Kong killed the skeletal Division Leader, Elder Shui Yun and company would be saved.


    Furthermore, his goal was to capture Zhao Feng alive.


    ¡°No!!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader felt a life-threatening danger. Its bones had almost no resistance against Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    Weng~~


    It circulated its True Force furiously and its bones became covered in a dark light. Even then, only a quarter of the Silver Spatial Blade¡¯s power was blocked.


    ¡°Yin Bone Body!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader yelled as the Nine Deadly Yin Bone in its body hummed and caused its body to grow.


    After using all its secret methods, the skeletal Division Leader was able to live, but even then, one of its bony arms was cut off.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s laugh sounded in the air.


    _Silver Spatial Blade!_


    The second faint silver blade chopped toward the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s head.


    ¡°It¡¯s over¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader felt the specter of death closing in.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly as a powerful aura was released from his left eye.


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t die or else Zhao Feng would be in great danger.


    ¡°Spatial Movement!¡±


    A transparent ripple locked on to the silver spatial blade. In that instant, space seemed to twist and turn.

 555 The Price of Underestimation

    Just as about the skeletal Division Leader was about to be killed, Zhao Feng used his new technique of Spatial Movement.


    The second silver spatial blade was engulfed by a whirlpool just as it was about to hit the skeletal Division Leader.


    Shua!


    The faint silver blade disappeared.


    In the Green Sky Water Border, the eyes of Elder Shui Yun and company bulged.


    The critical hit that would¡¯ve taken the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s life was dispersed by Zhao Feng.


    Hu~


    The skeletal Division Leader let out a breath. Luckily, Zhao Feng saved it, otherwise it would¡¯ve died even if it had an Earth-Grade weapon.


    At the same time, it looked at Zhao Feng with a complex expression.


    At the moment, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t lose the skeletal Division Leader. After all, it could stall Elder Shui Yun, Lu Tianyi, Zhuang Wan¡¯er, and Ye Yanyu.


    ¡°If Zhao Feng dies, then I won¡¯t have any hope at all.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t dare to have any other thoughts.


    At the same time, as the skeletal Division Leader was letting out a breath:


    ¡°Weird. There¡¯s no power of spatial laws, but he¡¯s able to get rid of my technique.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and his heart suddenly twitched. A dangerous sensation enveloped his body, and he even caught a whiff of an ancient dimensional aura.


    ¡°Spatial¡­ movement!¡±


    A transparent and watery whirlpool appeared right in front of Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    Shu~


    The silver spatial blade reappeared in front of Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    ¡°Arghhhh~~~~!¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong howled as blood spurted from his body.


    _What¡­ what¡¯s going on!!?_


    The expressions of Elder Shui Yun, Lu Tianyi, and company changed. They didn¡¯t know what just happened.


    Hua~


    In the outside world, the spectators broke out into discussion.


    ¡°Why did that blade reappear in front of Grandmaster Yin Kong?¡±


    ¡°What¡­ kind of secret technique was that?¡±


    Even the Sovereigns were shocked, and the three Void God Realms had looks of disbelief.


    They started to think about what just happened.


    Firstly, the second silver spatial blade was slicing toward the skeletal Division Leader and was about to take its life. But right at that moment, Zhao Feng somehow made the silver spatial blade disappear.


    More precisely, he had taken the silver spatial blade to another dimension ¨C the dimension of his left eye.


    After that, the silver spatial blade that had disappeared reappeared in front of Grandmaster Yin Kong and caught him off guard.


    Grandmaster Yin Kong was thinking about what Zhao Feng had done and wasn¡¯t expecting such a thing to happen. He ended up paying a heavy price for his carelessness.


    Plop!


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s body fell to the ground. A bone-deep gash extended from his chest to his leg.


    One of his legs had been chopped off.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong suppressed the pain, and his eyes were full of hatred and regret.


    If he hadn¡¯t underestimated the opponent and used his bloodline to sense the disturbance in space, he would¡¯ve had a 50-60% of dodging the attack.


    Unfortunately, from the beginning, he had been strutting around in a victorious manner.


    ¡°Hehe, you should be very proud. You¡¯re the first to test out the power of my Spatial Movement.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed.


    At the beginning, he only knew how to ¡°take¡± the target, but he eventually realized that he could ¡°release¡± it, thus this Spatial Movement technique had been in the works ever since the Demonic Hell Vine incident.


    Even before Elder Shui Yun and company had come in, Zhao Feng had already perfected Spatial Movement.


    ¡°Brat, looks like I indeed underestimated you.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eyes were blood-red as he forcefully suppressed his killing intent.


    He still wanted to capture Zhao Feng alive, but he was severely injured now.


    Shua!


    Grandmaster Yin Kong took his chopped off leg and entered the Green Sky Water Border.


    ¡°Grandmaster Yin Kong!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun immediately went to help him.


    ¡°This Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s pretty smart¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. He was still thinking about Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s silver spatial blade.


    The silver spatial blade was a bloodline technique that could merge into space to a certain degree. It was because of this that normal defenses couldn¡¯t do much against it and it was hard to dodge.


    Unfortunately, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have a spatial eye-bloodline, so even if he knew the theory behind it, he couldn¡¯t copy it.


    But that didn¡¯t mean that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t get any benefits out of it.


    The silver spatial blade and his Spatial Movement both regarded the use of space and focused on ¡°explosiveness.¡±


    ¡°This kid¡¯s bloodline is extremely weird. He can even move spatial attacks.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong was stunned.


    At this moment in time, Elder Shui Yun was healing him and trying to reconnect his leg, but how could Zhao Feng let that proceed smoothly?


    ¡°Earth-Grade inheritance weapon ¨C Ice Imperial Spear!¡±


    Zhao Feng extended his hand and gathered his bloodline power. The figure of an ice-blue spear started to condense. If the true Ice Imperial Spear was formed, Zhao Feng believed that he could stop Grandmaster Yin Kong from being healed as long as he had the help of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Silver Spatial Restriction!¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eyes sent out a beam of light that locked on to Zhao Feng.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body suddenly froze. It was as if he had been bound by ropes, unable to move.


    Wu~~


    The figure of the spear in his hand started to fade.


    ¡°What a profound technique! He froze the space around Zhao Feng.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    ¡°Break~~~~~!¡±


    Zhao Feng struggled but found that even talking was hard.


    ¡°Junior, resistance is futile. My Silver Spatial Restriction restricts the entire space in that area; every living being in that area will lose their ability to move.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong mocked.


    Elder Shui Yun only needed ten breaths to reconnect his leg. Although he was severely injured and unable to fully recover within a short amount of time, at least he wouldn¡¯t need to fight with one leg.


    However:


    ¡°¡­every living being in that area will lose their ability to move.¡±


    As soon as Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s words finished:


    Miao miao!


    A small silver-gray cat the size of a palm appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and threw a couple old bronze coins into the air.


    ¡°Wha¡­ what!?¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s smile froze.


    He just said that every living being would be unable to move and some cat was jumping around and slapping his face.


    ¡°Little thieving cat?¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. He was unable to move, but the little thieving cat wasn¡¯t affected.


    However, thinking about it, the little thieving cat had the ability to go into the interspatial rings of other people.


    ¡°Dao of Assassination ¨C Stealth?¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s pupils contracted as he inspected the little thieving cat.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat disappeared, leaving behind a silver-gray streak in the air.


    Shu~~~


    The streak of silver-and-gray light seemed to pierce a hole through the Silver Spatial Restriction, and Zhao Feng instantly felt the pressure decrease.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat played with a mysterious dagger with an unfathomable aura.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning!¡±


    A pair of purple-azure wings formed behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back and released a destructive aura.


    Pi! Pa!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning flapped as he broke through Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s Silver Spatial Restriction.


    The little thieving cat created a hole in the Silver Spatial Restriction and Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning had the ability to speed through the air, and they contained the power of Destruction.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng flashed toward the Green Sky Water Border and pushed the image of the Ice Imperial Spear into the ripple of water.


    To stop Grandmaster Yin Kong from recovering in time, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t take the time to form the complete Ice Imperial Spear.


    However, even the mere shadow-figure of the Ice Imperial Spear was enough to threaten Sovereigns.


    The intents of Water and Ice within the Ice Imperial Spear caused the Green Sky Water Border to freeze.


    Crack!


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag and ordered the power of the array to attack while it used its other hand to summon the image of the Earth-Grade bone.


    The frozen Green Sky Water Border instantly shattered.


    Wu~~


    The power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array started to erode Grandmaster Yin Kong and company, and the curse flowed into the Grandmaster¡¯s injuries.


    Grandmaster Yin Kong was already severely injured. Adding on the fact that the power of the curse was the counter to living beings, he started to sweat.


    ¡°Spatial Void Sword Wave!¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s face dimmed as he swiped his hand.


    Weng~~


    A silent ripple flowed through the air and locked on to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°It was this move that killed the stone giant.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart fell as he felt a dangerous sensation.


    This time, Grandmaster Yin Kong wasn¡¯t using the puny Silver Spatial Blade.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s spatial movement technique can only target a small target. Large attacks like this will be many times more difficult to move.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    The Spatial Void Sword Wave¡¯s range was bigger, and it was ten yards wide.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s defense was far weaker than the stone giants, and even that was killed by this attack.


    ¡°This attack uses too much energy.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong felt that the power of his bloodline was declining.


    ¡°I can¡¯t move this attack away.¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power along with the intents of Water and Ice in the Ice Imperial Spear.


    ¡°Water Spirit Divine Change!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body started to twist in the air.


    Weng~~


    A dark blue light seemed to merge with Zhao Feng as his figure turned into a liquid form.


    When the spatial waves hit Zhao Feng, it was like hitting liquid, doing no damage.


    ¡°That move¡­!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun exclaimed not far away.

 556 Void Space Eye Slash

    ¡°Water Spirit Divine Change!¡±


    This was Elder Shui Yun¡¯s profound technique. However, at this moment, it made an appearance from Zhao Feng.


    Boom~~~~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body became liquid-like, and the Spatial Void Sword Wave¡¯s attack passed through his body.


    The experts watching outside clicked their tongues. They all knew Elder Shui Yun¡¯s move. The Water Spirit Divine Change was a secret technique that not many had been able to cultivate.


    _The Water Spirit Divine Change uses the power of Water and one¡¯s bloodline, allowing the user to momentarily turn into a liquid-like state, making them almost impossible to be killed._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were calm.


    At the same time, the Ice Imperial Spear in his body supported the Water Spirit Divine Change. It was because of this that he could use the Water Spirit Divine Change before reaching the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Fuck! When did this brat learn that type of technique?¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong couldn¡¯t help but grind his teeth.


    Bo~~


    Zhao Feng took the Spatial Void Sword Wave attack head-on for two or three breaths.


    Of course, it wasn¡¯t as if Zhao Feng was completely unharmed. Spatial attacks were extremely unique; even though he was in a liquid state that stopped 70-80% of the damage, he was still injured.


    ¡°Luckily, I merged the Ice Imperial Spear back into my body.¡±


    Zhao Feng could still feel the pain of his body being injured, but fortunately, he had the Ice Imperial Spear within his body, which allowed his Water Spirit Divine Change to reach the level of when Elder Shui Yun used it.


    Di! Da!


    Water moved around Zhao Feng¡¯s body and started to heal him. Although he was injured, his recovery speed surpassed the damage inflicted.


    ¡°How did he do it? How did he learn my secret technique?¡±


    Elder Shui Yun was dazed.


    Three breaths later:


    Shua!


    The Spatial Void Sword Wave ended. Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s face went pale, and his expression became solemn.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s potential and strength were greater than he imagined. Even someone like Grandmaster Yin Kong felt troubled.


    At the same time:


    Bo~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s liquid body returned to normal.


    _Hmm?_


    This made Elder Shui Yun and company slightly surprised.


    The Water Spirit Divine Change could not only change the user¡¯s body into an invulnerable liquid state, it could also increase one¡¯s battle-power. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s version only turned his body into liquid without increasing his strength.


    Elder Shui Yun understood after thinking about it. Zhao Feng only had a short amount of time to learn the skill, and the complete version of the Water Spirit Divine Change used too much energy.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power and cultivation were still a ways away from her¡¯s, so he would become severely depleted if he continued to use this secret technique.


    _The Water Spirit Divine Change uses too much energy. Just from using an incomplete version, I feel so tired._


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t immediately attack. The sensation of fatigue he felt made him cautious.


    Grandmaster Yin Kong was in the same state; he had used a lot of his eye-bloodline power.


    Firstly, just getting into the ruins had used half of his bloodline power.


    After that, he killed the stone giant and attacked the skeletal Division Leader. The clash with Zhao Feng also expended a lot of his energy.


    The Spatial Void Sword Wave was a ranged attack that expended a lot of energy, but he had to use it because small, single-target attacks would just be teleported away by Zhao Feng.


    Wu~~~


    At this moment, the skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag and directed the dark gray mist around the enemies.


    Cough!


    Grandmaster Yin Kong and company¡¯s injuries worsened after being eroded by the power of the curse.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning Whip!¡±


    Zhao Feng roared with laughter as he formed a dozens-of-yards-long whip made of wind and lightning, causing the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to whistle.


    Pi! Pa! Boom~~~~


    The Wind Lightning Whip was filled with an aura of Destruction as it attacked the people below.


    At this moment, the experts from the three sects fell into despair once more.


    Above them was a whip made of wind and lightning and below them was the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    The only person that had the ability to escape was Grandmaster Yin Kong, but if he did so, he would lose his leg since Elder Shui Yun didn¡¯t have time to reattach it yet.


    ¡°Silver Spatial Restriction!¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eyes sent out a wave of spatial power.


    This time, his target was the skeletal Division Leader because it was controlling the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and the curse affected the final outcome.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Azure Eye Piercing Slash!¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly as he used his fastest attack on Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    Shu~~~~


    The transparent blade glowed with purple and radiated an aura of Destruction.


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s expression changed.


    Shua!


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s body disappeared, leaving behind a silver ripple.


    The Azure Eye Piercing Slash missed once again.


    Watching the Azure Eye Piercing Slash fading away, Zhao Feng¡¯s mind started turning with a dangerous thought.


    The transparent blade started to fade.


    _If I can merge the Azure Eye Piercing Slash and Spatial Movement into one move and give the former the power of Space, wouldn¡¯t that mean¡­?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were twinkling.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, save me~~~~!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader lost the ability the move because of the Silver Spatial Restriction, so it called for help through the Dark Heart Seed.


    Without the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s control, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s strength had already decreased by half, and Lu Tianyi and company were about to escape.


    ¡°All of you are responsible for killing that skeleton. It¡¯s been restricted by my spatial powers and can¡¯t move.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong smiled and returned to Elder Shui Yun. He still needed her help.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Lu Tianyi and the other two started to advance toward the skeletal Division Leader.


    Once Lu Tianyi and company got close, the skeletal Division Leader would definitely die.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Azure Eye Piercing Slash!¡±


    Zhao Feng sent another beam of an Azure Eye Piercing Slash over.


    This one was different from before. The size of this Azure Eye Piercing Slash was only a meter long, and it was more condensed.


    _The Azure Eye Piercing Slash from before was several yards wide. This one is only a meter wide, but it¡¯s more condensed and uses only 90% of the energy compared to before._


    A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. The energy used to create this Azure Eye Piercing Slash was miniscule.


    Of course, this was preparation for his next step.


    ¡°It¡¯s useless. Your attacks can¡¯t lock on to me.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong smiled and easily dodged the Azure Eye Piercing Slash while maintaining the Silver Spatial Restriction on the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Save me¡­!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was unable to move, and Lu Tianyi was holding his Earth-Grade weapon and closing in.


    Right at this moment, the meter-long Azure Eye Piercing Slash disappeared.


    ¡°Spatial¡­ Movement!¡±


    A transparent ripple appeared right on top of Lu Tianyi.


    Whoosh!


    Lu Tianyi¡¯s body froze and he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    The half-transparent blade, which was still radiating an aura of Destruction, passed through his body.


    ¡°Help¡­. Help¡­.¡±


    Lu Tianyi tried to speak, but the Azure Eye Piercing Slash with a destructive aura had appeared directly inside of his body.


    Plop!


    Lu Tianyi fell to the ground.


    He was dead.


    One of the most talented geniuses of the three sects had fallen here.


    ¡°Tianyi!¡±


    ¡°Brother Lu¡­!¡±


    Elder Shui Yun, Ye Yanyu, and the experts in the outside world exclaimed.


    Within the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er were at a loss on what to do.


    Even someone as strong as Lu Tianyi was killed instantly by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°That slash was even more unique than my Spatial Void Sword Wave. It actually moved the attack straight into the opponent¡¯s body.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s heart shook.


    His Spatial Void Sword Wave still required time to reach the target, but Zhao Feng¡¯s attack just appeared straight within the opponent¡¯s body.


    ¡°Grandmaster Yin Kong¡­ thank you very much. Your talent in Space has allowed me to comprehend and create my strongest eye-bloodline technique yet ¨C Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    Zhao Feng howled. Merging the Azure Eye Piercing Slash and the Spatial Movement had become Zhao Feng¡¯s most powerful attack.


    __


    _Void Space Eye Slash?_


    The hearts of the people present shook.


    ¡°If you surrender now, I might let you all live.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back and said in a confident manner.


    At this moment in time, he didn¡¯t even bother with the restricted skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Brat, don¡¯t be so arrogant. You killed Lu Tianyi; the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect won¡¯t forgive you.¡±


    Elder Shui Yun snickered coldly.


    ¡°Die. Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye glinted with azure and purple.


    Whoosh!


    Elder Shui Yun¡¯s body froze as blood splattered everywhere.


    A blade with an aura of Destruction sliced through her heart and took her life.


    Plop!


    Elder Shui Yun fell to the ground, dead.


    Hua!


    In the outside world, the watching experts broke into chaos.


    With just one glance, he killed a Sovereign.


    Lu Tianyi and Elder Shui Yun, two Sovereigns, were killed in a single move each.


    ¡°Terrifying¡­. How did this Zhao Feng comprehend such a terrifying eye-bloodline technique?¡±


    The watching Sovereigns all took in a cold breath.


    Within the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array:


    _When did Zhao Feng become so scary? He¡¯s killing Sovereigns as easily as chopping radishes._


    The skeletal Division Leader was stunned.


    Unknowingly, the restriction upon its body had disappeared. Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eyes were full of panic and fear.

 557 Token of Death

    In the outside world, above the mountains, the experts of the three sects broke into chaos, and some Sovereigns couldn¡¯t help but take in cold breaths.


    Even the three Void God Realms had solemn expressions.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was like a nightmare deeply ingrained in their hearts.


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ eyes landed on Zhao Feng as she gave a long sigh.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try to save the remaining three.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess broke the silence, and the other two Void God Realms looked at each other and sighed with helplessness.


    When Elder Shui Yun died, they knew they lost. Elder Shui Yun was extremely important; as long as she didn¡¯t die, the other members always had hope of recovering to their peak. It could be said that she was the core of the group.


    Zhao Feng also understood that. Killing Elder Shui Yun meant that Grandmaster Yin Kong wouldn¡¯t be able to recover within a short amount of time. Therefore, Zhao Feng decisively used his new Void Space Eye Slash on Elder Shui Yun.


    In the Purple Saint Ruins, the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array continued operating. Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er didn¡¯t give up; they teamed up to attack the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°I still have a Void God Protection that should be able to kill it.¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er said.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong stopped the two.


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er was slightly hesitant, but Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s urgent voice sounded, ¡°The real threat comes from Zhao Feng. Even I don¡¯t have confidence to return fully unharmed.¡±


    Hearing this, the hearts of the two girls shook. They didn¡¯t think that even Grandmaster Yin Kong had lost the will to battle, then thinking about how Lu Tianyi and Elder Shui Yun had been killed, the two had no more courage left to fight.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s figure flashed through the air, leaving several afterimages.


    Shua! Shua!


    Within two breaths¡¯ time, Grandmaster Yin Kong took the two girls and escaped the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    He paid a certain price for it as he took on the attacks of the skeletal Division Leader and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    The direction that Grandmaster Yin Kong ran was toward the mysterious canyon.


    ¡°Want to run?¡±


    Zhao Feng put away the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and told the skeletal Division Leader to enter the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    Pa!


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning flapped as Zhao Feng pursued Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, since you¡¯ve already comprehended the Void Space Eye Slash, why don¡¯t you just kill those three straight away?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader asked with puzzlement.


    Zhao Feng already had the strength to kill Small Origin Core Realms, so why didn¡¯t he continue killing them?


    ¡°The core part of the Void Space Eye Slash is the Spatial Movement, which requires a lot of energy. I only have enough energy to use it one more time.¡±


    Zhao Feng explained.


    At this moment in time, he only had the strength to use one more Void Space Eye Slash and, of the three, the biggest threat easily came from Grandmaster Yin Kong, which meant that he had to use it well. If the target was a normal Sovereign, Zhao Feng¡¯s attack would easily kill them, but Grandmaster Yin Kong specialized in the Laws of Space, so Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t truly lock on to him.


    It was because of this that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to easily attack and simply chased after them.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng shouldn¡¯t have too much bloodline power left. He should be at my level by now¡­.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong was wary as he ran. It wasn¡¯t hard to analyze that Zhao Feng only had one more chance to use the Void Space Eye Slash, otherwise he would¡¯ve attacked long ago.


    Like this, one followed the other.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s wings flapped while the little thieving cat stood on his shoulder as they pursued Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    Both sides were extremely focused. Grandmaster Yin Kong and company were watching out for Zhao Feng¡¯s next Void Space Eye Slash.


    Grandmaster Yin Kong and the other two soon arrived at the mysterious canyon. This was where the spatial array was located.


    ¡°Relax and construct the array. Zhao Feng won¡¯t use his last Void Space Eye Slash on you two.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong ordered the two women. At the same time, the three Void God Realms started to send their power toward the hole, disregarding the price they would have to pay to do so.


    ¡°The spatial hole is complete.¡±


    The other array masters constructed the spatial array on their end.


    Within the mysterious canyon, Grandmaster Yin Kong felt the unique aura that belonged to the spatial array and was overjoyed.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye obviously also sensed it. According to the disturbance in space, he could tell when the spatial hole was going to open.


    ¡°Hmph, you want to leave just like that?¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly.


    As soon as he landed on the ground, the skeletal Division Leader appeared and controlled the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to envelop the area around the spatial array.


    Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er were being chased around by the skeletal Division Leader and couldn¡¯t last much longer.


    ¡°Void God Protection!¡±


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er broke a jade slip in her hands, and a large demonic female figure appeared behind her back.


    A divine power instantly filled the area with a great pressure.


    Of course, Zhuang Wan¡¯er only summoned the Void God Protection; she didn¡¯t dare to actually use it, as it could only be used once.


    Because Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader both had Earth-Grade weapons alongside the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, even an attack from a Void God Protection wouldn¡¯t be able to kill them.


    This was especially true for Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had the Void Space Eye Slash for offense and the Water Spirit Divine Change for defense.


    It could be said that Zhao Feng was unparalleled within the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Zhuang Wan¡¯er didn¡¯t want to annoy Zhao Feng and make him use his last attack on her. If he did then she would most likely die.


    Weng~~


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng sensed a familiar sensation pass through space.


    ¡°Die! Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye glinted with purple and azure. In that instant, the hearts of Grandmaster Yin Kong and company jumped up to their throats.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong felt that Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline power had landed on him.


    Shu~~~~


    A one-meter-long blade slashed through a silver afterimage.


    ¡°He missed!¡±


    The people watching and the people present all exclaimed.


    In the next moment:


    Shua!


    Grandmaster Yin Kong appeared dozens of yards away with a joyful smile, but he suddenly felt that something was off.


    The sharp slash just now hadn¡¯t moved through space. It wasn¡¯t the real Void Space Eye Slash.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    Bo~~


    A whirlpool appeared in the middle of Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s body.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong realized that he was tricked. The ¡°Void Space Eye Slash¡± just now was only a normal Azure Eye Piercing Slash used to trick Grandmaster Yin Kong.


    _Run!_


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s heart leapt, and he used the fastest speed he could to leave a blur of silver behind.


    Shuuuuu~~~~~~


    The meter-long blade sliced through the silver figure.


    Whoosh!


    Blood splattered.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong reappeared with his hand covering a hole in his chest.


    Although his reaction was fast, he wasn¡¯t able to dodge the Void Space Eye Slash.


    ¡°You¡­!¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s body started to tremble as he tried to speak. The aura of Destruction was destroying Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s organs.


    ¡°Hmph, I already calculated where you would appear. The instant you appeared, I moved the Azure Eye Piercing Slash inside your body.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly. The reason he succeeded this time was because he knew where Grandmaster Yin Kong would reappear.


    The Void Space Eye Slash¡¯s most terrifying aspect was that he could move the attack to the inside of the opponent¡¯s body.


    ¡°I¡­ I hate¡­¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s eyes were blood-red, and he full of regret and hatred.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he had underestimated the enemy and tried to capture Zhao Feng alive, he wouldn¡¯t have ended up in this state.


    At this moment in time, his lifeforce was depleting. If Elder Shui Yun was nearby, she might have been able to save his life, but unfortunately for Grandmaster Yin Kong, Zhao Feng killed her.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    At this instant, Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan¡¯er charged into the spatial hole.


    Weng~~


    The spatial hole closed as the two disappeared.


    ¡°How unfortunate.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline power was depleted or else he would have tried to take those two hostage in order to make the three sects more wary of him.


    ¡°Grandmaster Yin Kong.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze landed on the dying silver-eyed youth.


    Even at this moment, he didn¡¯t dare to underestimate the opponent and was prepared for anything. Zhao Feng was extremely weak right now, so if Grandmaster Yin Kong had any killing moves up his sleeve, Zhao Feng might be killed.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng hid within the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and was ready to drag the fight out.


    As expected, a black token appeared in Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s hand.


    There was one word carved onto the token ¨C Death.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­ that¡¯s¡­!!!!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his heart tremble as a surge of cold killing intent entered his soul.


    In this instant, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye trembled.


    ¡°What a powerful aura of Death¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s soul was shaking, and it wanted to kneel down instinctively.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ Zhao Feng, even if I die, you won¡¯t have a good outcome. Do you know who the owner of this Token of Death is?¡±


    Grandmaster Yin Kong merged his blood into the token.


    _Watch out!_


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were extremely wary.


    Right before he died, Grandmaster Yin Kong roared in laughter, ¡°Although I¡¯m talented in the Laws of Space, my eye-bloodline isn¡¯t truly descended from the Spatial God¡¯s Eye Bloodline. However, the owner of this Token of Death comes from one of the Eight Great God Eyes¡­.¡±


    His voice came to a sudden stop.

 558 Emperor of Death

    ¡°¡­the owner of this Token of Death comes from one of the Eight Great God Eyes¡­.¡±


    Before his sentence finished, Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s life came to an end.


    Plop!


    His body fell to the ground, dead, yet the sensation of danger only increased.


    Weng~~


    The ¡°Death¡± on the token locked on to Zhao Feng and released an aura of Death.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness seemed to become frozen. In this instant, he felt as if his life was no longer controlled by himself anymore.


    ¡°That token¡­!!!!!¡±


    The three Void God Realms exclaimed as they stared at the Token of Death. Even they were shocked by it and took in cold breaths.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Token of Death! It¡¯s actually the Token of Death!¡±


    The golden skeleton exclaimed in fear and panic. Its eyes were full of wariness and respect as it looked at the Token of Death.


    ¡°Token of Death!¡±


    The three Void God Realm Kings and some Sovereigns present had heard of its legend.


    At this moment, within the Purple Saint Ruins, an aura of Death had locked on to Zhao Feng and he felt like he could no longer control his body.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye thumped harder than ever before. The aura from the Token of Death gave the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye a familiar yet strange feeling.


    Suddenly, the Token of Death gave off a black light that was hundreds of times stronger than before, and a black eye appeared on the token. The token seemed to become a gateway to a world of pure Death.


    ¡°Measly being, I shall take away your ability to live.¡±


    The black eye locked on to Zhao Feng. He hiccupped and felt as if his soul was facing an absolute order.


    In that instant, his breathing stopped. His life seemed to have reached the end of its road from the manipulation of a certain force.


    ¡°The Eye of Death! One of the Eight Great God Eyes!¡±


    ¡°That token indeed represents the Eye of Death. That means its owner should be the Emperor of Death.¡±


    The three sects¡¯ experts broke out into discussion, and all three Void God Realms held their breath as they stared at the Eye of Death.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, watch out! This is probably one of the descendants of the Eye of Death.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice was full of fear and panic.


    _Eye of Death._


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were unable to move, and they felt as if they had lost the ability to live.


    ¡°One of the Eight Great God Eyes, the Eye of Death?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook, and no matter how hard he struggled, he wasn¡¯t able to escape the aura of Death. Putting him aside, even the skeletal Division Leader was kneeling on the ground and trembling.


    ¡°Looks like Zhao Feng¡¯s definitely dead. The Eye of Death controls the Laws of Death.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t even dare to breathe.


    The Eye of Death¡¯s target was Zhao Feng. If it did something that caused the eye to be annoyed, maybe the eye would take its life as well.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    A whirlpool started to spin within the Eye of Death.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body fell, and he felt his consciousness being pulled by an unstoppable power.


    ¡°Stop~~~~~!¡±


    Zhao Feng used his will to block the eye¡¯s power, but it wasn¡¯t enough, and his soul was being dragged toward the Eye of Death.


    In this moment, Zhao Feng felt that his soul had left his body. The soul was the center of a living being.


    If the soul of a Void God Realm was destroyed, they would die as well.


    Destroying the soul meant absolute death, and the Eye of Death was targeting the soul.


    ¡°Nooo~~~~~~!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader yelled in fear. Because it was so close to Zhao Feng, the aura of Death had also somewhat come into contact with it, so its consciousness was trying to escape its body as well.


    No matter how the skeletal Division Leader struggled, it was useless.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ that brat¡¯s dead!¡±


    ¡°No matter how smart he is, he can¡¯t escape.¡±


    The experts watching in the outside world were happy.


    ¡°The Token of Death comes from the old and mysterious Emperor of Death. Once it¡¯s used, it will cause the Emperor of Death¡¯s will and power to pass through space.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess murmured.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, even normal Void God Realms wouldn¡¯t be able to block that power easily. As for those below the Void God Realm, they will certainly die.¡±


    The golden skeleton gloated.


    On the third floor of the Purple Saint Treasured Palace.


    ¡°Senior Purple Spirit, please save Brother Zhao Feng.¡±


    Zhao Yufei begged.


    ¡°I might¡¯ve been able to suppress the Emperor of Death if I was at my peak, but I¡¯m just a spirit now. Even if I tried, I would only have a 30-40% chance of stopping it, and even then, I will die.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit shook her head bitterly. Once she died, the Purple Saint Ruins would have no owner and start to crumble.


    At that time, the three sects would be able to invade the ruins. Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei still wouldn¡¯t be able to escape death. Therefore, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit couldn¡¯t do anything.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng¡­.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes started to become teary, but she had a glimmer of hope as she remembered Zhao Feng¡¯s tendency to create miracles.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng was in a life-or-death situation.


    His soul and consciousness were about to leave his body.


    ¡°No, no, no!¡±


    Zhao Feng struggled and used all his power to resist it.


    However, his consciousness was still being dragged out. If his cultivation had reached the Void God Realm, he would see that a spiritual figure in the shape of himself was slowly being pulled out of his body.


    Once the soul was fully pulled out, it would be the same as taking away his life.


    His resistance was futile.


    As half of his soul was dragged out, suddenly:


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye started acting up, as if it was being pulled by something. If one looked closely, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was bulging out a little.


    The aura of Death was pulling Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye as well as his soul.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    Zhao Feng grabbed onto the last rope to salvation ¨C the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    After many years of being merged together, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was one with Zhao Feng.


    That meant that, if the Eye of Death wanted to take Zhao Feng¡¯s soul away, it would also need to pull out the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    However, how could the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye let that happen?


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye seemed to awaken as it radiated an ancient and supreme aura.


    Zhao Feng instantly felt as if he had become a god. His every thought and action caused the sun and moon to shake.


    ¡°An aura from the ancient era¡­!¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit exclaimed.


    In that instant, she felt the entire Purple Saint Ruins tremble. Nothing could stop from shaking against this ancient aura.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The Eye of Death was puzzled.


    Boom!


    The Token of Death then took on the full force of the mysterious ancient aura.


    Crack!


    The Token of Death started to crack, and the Eye of Death dimmed and revealed a look of shock.


    ¡°God¡­ God¡¯s Eye!!!?? The aura of a God¡¯s Eye!!!¡±


    The Token of Death exclaimed throughout the soul dimension.


    None of the experts in the outside world heard that voice.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    The three Void God Realms were all surprised.


    The Eye of Death faced a powerful resistance, and this resistance came from Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°God¡¯s Eye? Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye is a God¡¯s Eye!!?¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit couldn¡¯t believe it.


    Even the Emperor of Death¡¯s Eye of Death couldn¡¯t be called a ¡°God¡¯s Eye.¡±


    Only the Eight Great God Eyes could be called ¡°God Eyes.¡±


    For example, the Eye of Rebirth, the Eye of Space, or the Eye of Death.


    They all had descendants with their bloodlines, such as the Emperor of Death. However, those with actual God Eyes were unique in the world.


    ¡°¡­but Zhao Feng¡¯s eye doesn¡¯t seem to be any of the Eight Great God Eyes.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit shook her head, but that sentence had come from the Emperor of Death himself, a descendant of the Eye of Death. Being one of the descendants of an actual God Eye, the Emperor of Death was extremely sensitive to the aura of God Eyes.


    ¡°Not any of the Eight Great God Eyes. Could this be the ninth God Eye that¡¯s just awakened?¡±


    The light from the Token of Death started to fade.


    The black Eye of Death gazed at Zhao Feng in deep thought.


    Crack!


    Under the ancient aura of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, the Token of Death cracked and turned into a pile of dust.


    ¡°Death will chase you until the end.¡±


    A cold voice resounded across Zhao Feng¡¯s mind the instant the token shattered.


    Plop!


    The skeletal Division Leader landed on the ground and Zhao Feng remained motionless. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye kept contracting and expanding, and there was a wisp of the ancient aura that didn¡¯t immediately disappear.

 559 Ancient Dream Realm

    Above the mountains in the limitless ocean, the hearts of the three sects¡¯ members couldn¡¯t calm down.


    Their last hope, even the Token of Death wasn¡¯t able to take Zhao Feng¡¯s soul.


    ¡°What kind of background does Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline have? Even the Eye of Death wasn¡¯t able to kill him.¡±


    The experts were puzzled and stunned.


    They realized that this youth¡¯s potential seemed to be infinite, and no one knew the secrets of his left eye.


    They started to guess whether Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline could be descended from a God Eye.


    Even the three Void God Realms didn¡¯t understand; Grandmaster Yin Kong said that Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline wasn¡¯t related to any of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    ¡°Maybe Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline is an evolved or mutated version of a God Eye bloodline. Maybe that¡¯s why he¡¯s able to fight back against the will of the Eye of Death.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s also another possibility: if Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline is related to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, it wouldn¡¯t be unexpected for him to resist the Eye of Death. After all, it wasn¡¯t the true Eye of Death, it was just an image of it.¡±


    The three Void God Realms discussed in private.


    It was shocking that a measly True Lord Rank could fight against the will of the Emperor of Death. Even normal Void God Realms weren¡¯t certain that they could do the same.


    Weng~~


    The image above the mountain started to dim and become unstable. The Purple Saint Ruins was becoming blurry.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on!?¡±


    The spectators started to discuss as they glanced at the array masters.


    ¡°The connection between the Spatial Splitting Array and the Purple Saint Ruins has been cut off since the hole has been fixed¡­.¡±


    An array master explained.


    A while later, the entire image turned pitch-black, and the group sighed.


    From this moment onwards, they wouldn¡¯t be able to see what was happening within the Purple Saint Ruins.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    A Sovereign smiled and said, ¡°Although we can¡¯t take over the Purple Saint Ruins right away, there¡¯s one thing that¡¯s certain ¨C Zhao Feng will die.¡±


    _Zhao Feng will die._


    Hearing this, the hearts of everyone started beating faster.


    Some people didn¡¯t understand, but the three Void God Realms nodded their heads.


    ¡°If the Token of Death can¡¯t kill the target, the Emperor of Death will do it himself. Several thousand years ago, even another Emperor was killed by the Emperor of Death.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess smiled.


    Under normal situations, the Token of Death would kill most experts. Even some Void God Realms couldn¡¯t survive.


    However, if the Token of Death couldn¡¯t kill its target, then the chase would begin.


    No one had ever survived the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. After all, the Emperor of Death is an Emperor, and he has the Eye of Death. Even our three sects don¡¯t have a Void God Realm Emperor.¡±


    The other two Void God Realm Kings nodded their heads in agreement.


    Void God Realm Emperors were far stronger than normal Void God Realm Kings.


    The reason Grandmaster Yin Kong had a Token of Death was because his ancestor had once helped the Emperor of Death, who then owed Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s ancestor a favor.


    ¡°Of course, the Emperor of Death is extremely far away from the Tianlu Islands.¡±


    ¡°Looks like Zhao Feng can still live a while longer.¡±


    Sighs came from above the mountain, and the people started to disperse.


    Within the Purple Saint Ruins, in the mysterious canyon, Zhao Feng stood unmoving while an ancient aura remained in his left eye.


    ¡°Hmm? The connection between the three sects and the Purple Saint Ruins has been broken. Is that the result of Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Eye clashing with the Eye of Death?¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit was surprised.


    From this instant onwards, it would be extremely difficult for the three sects to attempt another attack on the Purple Saint Ruins.


    At the same time, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit and the skeletal Division Leader discovered Zhao Feng¡¯s unusual state.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were closed and he didn¡¯t move for a long time. The ancient aura from his left eye caused the entire dimension of the ruins to tremble uneasily.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, the lake containing his eye-bloodline power started to expand to twenty-five or twenty-six yards.


    Because he had used a lot of energy in the previous battles, there was only a thin layer of water left at the moment.


    The mysterious whirlpool at the center started to change.


    Di! Da!


    A wisp of the ancient aura leaked out from the whirlpool, and Zhao Feng carefully merged his consciousness into the whirlpool.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness suddenly went black and, in the next instant, he had entered a state similar to a dream.


    In the dream, Zhao Feng stood on an old, desolate piece of land. The aura here seemed extremely ancient.


    Zhao Feng felt an extreme pressure on his body and soul just by standing here.


    Of course, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here couldn¡¯t be compared with outside. Even the specks of dust here contained infinite power.


    One breath¡­ two breaths¡­ three breaths¡­.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood. He couldn¡¯t even stay here for a couple breaths, and instinct told Zhao Feng that the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was protecting him to a certain degree, otherwise he would have died even if he was ten times stronger.


    ¡°I can¡¯t stand it any longer¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s vision went black as he vanished from the desolate piece of land.


    Shua!


    His consciousness returned to reality and felt weak. There was still warm blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.


    ¡°What¡­ what!?¡±


    Zhao Feng wiped the blood from his mouth.


    _The world just now wasn¡¯t a dream?_


    ¡°What kind of existence is that dream world? I couldn¡¯t even stand in there for three breaths.¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned. If that piece of land was real, then it was definitely a top-tier dimension.


    Zhao Feng was even suspicious that the land in the dream was connected to the Ancient Desolate Continent.


    He didn¡¯t dare to enter it again right away. If that piece of land was real, then wouldn¡¯t that mean any living beings there could kill him with just a finger?


    After all, the damage he took in there transferred to his real body.


    This was incredible. Zhao Feng named the piece of land the ¡°Ancient Dream Realm.¡±


    The existence of the Ancient Dream Realm had been forced out by the Eye of Death.


    ¡°When I have time later, I¡¯ll scout out the Ancient Dream Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng still had more troublesome problems. Although the Token of Death had failed to take Zhao Feng¡¯s soul, the problem wasn¡¯t over yet.


    Every time Zhao Feng closed his eyes and calmed down, he could feel the invisible power of the Eye of Death on his soul.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline and soul were merged.


    As long as he used his eye-bloodline, the remnant intent from the Eye of Death would become stronger.


    Zhao Feng tried to destroy it, but he was far too weak against someone like the Emperor of Death.


    One was a True Lord Rank. The other was a Void God Realm Emperor. It was like the difference between heaven and earth.


    Above the True Spirit Realm was the Origin Core Realm, which was split into the Small Origin Core Realm and Great Origin Core Realm. Above the Origin Core Realm was the Void God Realm, and the Void God Realm was split into normal Void God Realm ¡°Kings¡± and Void God Realm ¡°Emperors.¡±


    From that, one could see the difference between Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t use your eye-bloodline. Every time you do, it will strengthen the connection between you and the Emperor of Death.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit warned, and Zhao Feng¡¯s heart fell as he furrowed his eyebrows.


    He couldn¡¯t destroy the intent within his soul with his current cultivation.


    ¡°Senior Purple Saint, are there any methods?¡±


    Zhao Feng could only ask the Purple Saint Partial Spirit for help.


    After all, when the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s owner was alive, she had reached the Mystic Light Realm.


    ¡°I am only a partial spirit and don¡¯t even have one ten-thousandth of the ability Master had. I can only try to help you seal the intent of Death.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit smiled bitterly and said.


    She was on the verge of dying as well. If she had enough power, she wouldn¡¯t have needed Zhao Feng¡¯s help in the first place.


    Zhao Feng sat down and felt a wisp of intent flow into his soul.


    Two or three breaths later, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit harrumphed as her intent was forced back out.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I¡¯m extremely sorry. I can¡¯t seal the aura. You¡¯ll need someone who is at least a Void God Realm and specializes in the Dao of Souls.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said weakly.


    ¡°Is there no way at all?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart felt heavy.


    According to the Purple Saint Partial Spirit, the Emperor of Death would be able to find him sooner or later using the aura of Death.


    No one had ever escaped the Emperor of Death before.


    ¡°I have a special technique that can reduce the sensitivity of the Death aura.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said after a while, and a wisp of aura spun around Zhao Feng¡¯s soul.


    Zhao Feng felt a mysterious aura circling his soul.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, this is all I can do for you. At least 70% of the aura will be concealed.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice was weak.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and felt that the danger sensed by the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had decreased slightly.


    He then manipulated his bloodline power to temporarily seal the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    His left eye instantly became black.


    ¡°Hmm? Closing off my eye-bloodline can reduce over 90% of the sensitivity.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised, but he knew that he couldn¡¯t stay at the Purple Saint Ruins any longer.

 560 Departure

    On the third floor of the Treasured Palace, Zhao Feng informed the Purple Saint Partial Spirit and Zhao Yufei that he wanted to leave the ruins. The Purple Saint Partial Spirit sighed, but she wasn¡¯t surprised.


    Indeed. Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t stay here any longer.


    He had a mark from the Emperor of Death, so he would bring disaster wherever he went. If Zhao Feng stayed here, he would only make things more dangerous instead of keeping the place safe.


    The three sects outside already put a lot of pressure on the Purple Saint Ruins. If an Emperor came on top of that, the result would be unimaginable.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to see such an ending.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if your eye is really a God Eye then it will have the same characteristic as the other eight Great God Eyes ¨C the one and only in the world.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said in a deep tone.


    ¡°God Eye? One and only?¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered what the Six Warlock Divine Sage had divined. The Sage said that his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could reach the heights of a God Eye.


    ¡°Every God Eye is the one and only of its kind in the world, and together they¡¯re the ancestors of all other eye-bloodlines. Peak eye-bloodlines are only bloodlines that have a faint concentration of a God Eye bloodline.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit explained.


    ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean that, as long as the Eye of Death exists, other eye-bloodlines with the attribute of Death can¡¯t become a God Eye?¡±


    Zhao Feng seemed to understand something and knew why the Purple Saint Partial Spirit was warning him.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. The eight Great God Eyes are related to the laws of the universe. There can only be one God Eye of a certain characteristic at once.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit nodded her head.


    ¡°Can¡¯t one cultivate and reach the God Eye level?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that it was extremely weird.


    ¡°No.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit shook her head, ¡°No matter how hard one tries to cultivate their eye-bloodline, it can¡¯t become a God Eye.¡±


    She continued speaking after a long pause, ¡°Apparently, the only way to acquire a God Eye is to either steal someone else¡¯s God Eye or kill and replace them as the new holder of the God Eye.¡±


    _Steal someone else¡¯s God Eye._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook as he understood what she meant.


    As long as the Emperor of Death stole Zhao Feng¡¯s God Eye, he would become the new owner of a God Eye.


    ¡°There¡¯s something else I need to warn you about. Although you¡¯ve blocked over 90% of the aura, the Emperor of Death can still sense your general direction.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit told Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng had blocked 90% of the aura from being released, the sensation of danger still hadn¡¯t disappeared.


    He only weakened the Emperor of Death¡¯s senses, they weren¡¯t fully blocked.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you still have a bit of time to prepare. You can take the resources in the Purple Saint Ruins. The Emperor of Death won¡¯t be able to reach this place for some time. The distance between him and here is countless times further than here to the Azure Flower Continent.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit smiled and said.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt grateful. He had received a lot of resources during both of his visits.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng recovered to his peak.


    He and the skeletal Division Leader then started to gather resources within the ruins. Of course, most of them were to complete the Hundred Corpse plan.


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t use my eye-bloodline easily from now on or else it¡¯ll increase the Emperor of Death¡¯s ability to sense me. The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array will become an important part of my strength.¡±


    Zhao Feng placed a lot of importance on it.


    Half a month later, everything was going to plan.


    Zhao Feng had a mountain of resources in his interspatial ring. Some were for the Hundred Corpse Plan while others might be useful later in the future.


    In this period of time, the skeletal Division Leader had successfully refined some more ghost-corpses, reaching a total of sixty.


    The skeletal Division Leader had recovered to its peak as well, and its speed of refining the ghost-corpses was much faster.


    However, Zhao Feng had higher expectations for the ghost-corpses now. He wanted every one of them to reach the peak True Lord Rank.


    The two dark silver ghost-corpses were closing in on the half-step Origin Core Realm after expending a lot of materials.


    ¡°I¡¯ve got enough resources, and my goal is getting closer step by step.¡±


    Zhao Feng finally prepared to leave on this day.


    On the third floor of the Purple Saint Treasured Palace, Zhao Feng saw the Purple Saint Partial Spirit and Zhao Yufei one more time.


    ¡°Senior Purple Spirit, everything¡¯s done. I¡¯m going to leave now.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath, and Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes were watery. Every day that Zhao Feng was in the ruins, she felt safe.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, where do you want to go?¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit questioned.


    Zhao Feng started to think, and he soon had an answer.


    He couldn¡¯t go back to the Azure Flower Continent ¨C at least, not before the danger was over.


    Furthermore, there was still a knot in his heart about his ¡°fianc¨¦e,¡± Liu Qinxin.


    The image of a quiet and elegant girl that seemed to be straight out of a painting appeared in his mind.


    ¡°Does Senior Purple Saint know of an inheritance called the ¡®Sky Saint Qin Inheritance¡¯?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    _Sky Saint Qin Inheritance?_


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit thought for a while before responding, ¡°I remember that there was a peak two-star sect called the Sky Saint Qin Palace in the southern area, under the control of the Sacred Dream Land. That sect is pretty unique.¡±


    _Sky Saint Qin Palace? Unique?_


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng revealed a look of joy.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s master was indeed worthy of being an extremely powerful being who was extremely knowledgeable.


    Zhao Feng instinctively felt that the Sky Saint Qin Palace was related to the Sky Saint Qin Inheritance.


    ¡°But that¡¯s a memory from tens of thousands of years ago. I don¡¯t know their current situation.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit added.


    ¡°Senior, can you send me somewhere close to the Sky Saint Qin Palace?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked. He needed to run for his life as well as confirm whether Liu Qinxin was dead or alive.


    ¡°The Sky Saint Qin Palace is too far away. I can only do my best to send you as far as I can.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said.


    For the next one or two days, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit prepared a teleportation array in order to use less of her strength.


    Two days later, everything was ready.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, my spirit is becoming weaker and weaker. I can only barely send you to the edges of the Tianlu Islands.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said in an apologetic tone.


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. Last time, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit could send him back to the Azure Flower Continent, but now she couldn¡¯t even send him away from the Tianlu Islands.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡±


    However, Zhao Feng still felt satisfied.


    Before he left:


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, why are you trying to find the Sky Saint Qin Inheritance? When can you return?¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes were red.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hide anything and told a shortened version about ¡°finding Liu Qinxin.¡±


    ¡°Liu Qinxin? You¡¯re going to find¡­ your fianc¨¦e?¡±


    Zhao Yufei was dazed; she seemed to be in a nightmare.


    Weng~~


    A door appeared on the third floor of the Treasure Palace.


    ¡°I hope we can meet later sometime.¡±


    Zhao Feng stepped into the door. Before he left, he found that Zhao Yufei was motionless and seemed to be in extreme pain.


    That scene caused his heart to tremble and hurt, but he disappeared the second he stepped into the door.


    ¡°Yufei! Yufei!¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit shouted. In the third floor of the Treasured Palace, Zhao Yufei acted as if she had lost her soul as tears streaked down her face.


    ¡°Why¡­ why!!?¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s voice trembled in agony.


    She touched her heart with her hands and trembled. She didn¡¯t know where this pain was coming from.


    Although it wasn¡¯t like her heart was being ripped apart, the pain was continuous.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei left Sun Feather City almost seven years ago now.


    ¡°Yufei, don¡¯t assume the worst. From my analysis, Zhao Feng¡¯s fianc¨¦e Liu Qinxin has most likely died in that inheritance.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit encouraged.


    Hearing that, Zhao Yufei¡¯s crying paused.


    Thinking about it carefully, Liu Qinxin hadn¡¯t communicated with the outside world for such a long time, so she was most likely dead.


    Even the Sage said that there was far more misfortune than fortune.


    ¡°Zhao Feng probably wants to find her so he can untie the knot in his heart. You¡¯ve known him since you were young, you just haven¡¯t broken the paper yet. You have something that Liu Qinxin never will.¡± (Idiom meaning to officially tell someone you like them/actually start dating.)


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit smiled as she continued her encouragement.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s tears and the pain in her heart started to decrease.


    ¡°If Liu Qinxin is dead, how good would that be¡­?¡±


    A thought appeared in Zhao Yufei¡¯s mind that caused her to feel guilty.


    At the same time, at the edges of the Tianlu Islands, misty air came into view.


    ¡°So, this is the infinite ocean?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t see the end of the ocean.


    The infinite ocean was different from land. Here, Zhao Feng felt as if his body had no weight, and even if he didn¡¯t try to fly, his body floated in the air like a feather.


    The gravity and resistance here were insignificant.


    Zhao Feng felt that, if he wanted to fly here, he would be at least tens of times faster than flying on land.


    ¡°My target is another area in the southern part of the infinite ocean¡­.¡±


    A map that the Purple Saint Partial Spirit had supplied appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    However, right at this moment, Zhao Feng felt a familiar yet unknown sensation that made him feel danger.


    The origin of this feeling didn¡¯t come from the Emperor of Death.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically. He realized that he had forgotten about something.

 561 Limitless Ocean

    Within the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, in a palace at the center of a lake, a pure and holy female was sitting. She was like a carving of the god of the moon and stars.


    ¡°You¡¯ve finally appeared.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ heart started beating quickly as a cold smile appeared.


    Shua!


    She took out the scorpion, which was now the size of a bull. Its eyes were red and cold and made those around it feel chilly.


    A moment ago, its eyes started to struggle, then stopped.


    ¡°Send the order down: Zhao Feng is in the southern boundary of the Tianlu Islands, roughly around the Eight Desolate Mountain¡­.¡±


    ¡°Which experts are around the Eight Desolate Mountain? Use the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect¡¯s name to order them to capture Zhao Feng, and give them a big reward if they manage to do so¡­.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess took out a jade slip and the order was passed down.


    Being a two-and-a-half-star sect, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was the biggest power in the Tianlu Islands.


    Within an hour, the news had travelled outside the island that the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was based in.


    One had to know that the island where the sect was located was several times larger than the Azure Flower Continent, and there were several dozen such islands in the Tianlu Islands.


    Even the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess, a Void God Realm, couldn¡¯t reach Zhao Feng without spending some time.


    Shua!


    A wisp of mental energy flashed through the giant scorpion.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s reaction is pretty fast. He¡¯s already broken the link with the scorpion.¡±


    The Saint Moon Aunt Goddess¡¯ expression became dim.


    At the same time, at an extremely faraway place above the limitless ocean.


    ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to give up that scorpion.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and harrumphed. Forcefully breaking the pet contract with the scorpion injured him, but doing it made him feel safer.


    Without the giant scorpion¡¯s link, the three sects wouldn¡¯t be able to sense his location anymore.


    ¡°I need to leave the Tianlu Islands as soon as possible.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a solemn expression. He had learned about the situation here.


    The strongest three forces in the Tianlu Islands were the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, the Black Cliff Palace, and Moon Demon Palace. They controlled dozens of ¡°continents¡± as big as the Azure Flower Continent.


    Now that he had appeared within their territory, nowhere was safe.


    Luckily, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit sent him to the very edge of the Tianlu Islands.


    ¡°Tianlu Islands¡­ Eight Desolate Mountain¡­.¡±


    A map and some information appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind, containing the positions of important places within the Cang Ocean.


    The Cang Ocean was an ocean within the limitless ocean, and it contained several hundred islands, each the size of the Tianlu Islands.


    The Azure Flower Continent was only a small piece of land in the ¡°Azure Islands.¡± From this, one could see how big the Cang Ocean was.


    Furthermore, there were also countless small islands within its boundaries. For example, the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    ¡°After passing through the Eight Desolate Mountain and several million more miles, I¡¯ll be able to leave the Tianlu Islands.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body glowed with lightning.


    Shua!


    A beam of azure-and-purple light flashed through the sky.


    The limitless ocean wasn¡¯t the same thing as a normal ocean.


    ¡°In this world, excluding land, everything is in a sea of mist. The higher one goes, the thinner the mist, and the lower one goes, the thicker the mist.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked around as he flew. There were weird species here, as well as other threats from nature.


    The lower zone of the sea of mist was extremely thick and formed water ¨C the real ocean. Humans weren¡¯t suited to live here.


    In reality, the islands were only ¡°specks¡± that were suitable for humans to live on.


    After the Ancient Desolate Continent broke, the continent turned into a bunch of specks that spread across the earth.


    Each of these ¡°specks¡± became ¡°islands¡± of different sizes.


    For humans, the limitless ocean was desolate and barren. Only a small number of species and beasts could live here.


    Qiu~~~~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed gradually increased, and he was ten times as fast as he was on the Azure Flower Continent.


    The gravity and resistance in the limitless ocean were extremely small. Even those at the Consolidated Realm and Ascended Realm could fly here easily.


    However, the Yuan Qi here was extremely thin. Those with cultivations below the True Spirit Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to survive here long.


    ¡°The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here¡¯s too thin. Flying for long periods of time requires Primal Crystal Stones.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Gulu!


    After flying for dozens of thousands of miles, bubbles of condensed Yuan Qi started to appear.


    _There are certain Yuan Qi areas in the ocean, but usually, powerful beasts or other species live there._


    Zhao Feng was wary. He usually didn¡¯t get too close to the ocean when he flew.


    Whoosh! Whoosh~~~~


    Several black figures jumped up from the ocean. They had powerful auras that were stronger than someone from the Azure Flower Continent.


    Looking close at them, they were black water snakes, each as thick as a barrel.


    These black snakes could charge out of the ocean and fly in the air since the gravity and resistance here were so low. Furthermore, they weren¡¯t normal snakes.


    Si!!


    The black snakes seemed to sniff something and charged toward Zhao Feng dozens of miles away.


    ¡°These water snakes are all at least at the True Mystic Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t retreat. He wanted to test out how strong they were. Patriarch Hong had told him that True Lord Rank was the minimum requirement to travel around the outside world, but it would be extremely risky for them.


    Patriarch Hong suggested to Zhao Feng that he should reach the half-step Origin Core Realm first, but Zhao Feng obviously wasn¡¯t at the half-step Origin Core Realm yet.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Zhao Feng sent streaks of wind and lightning through the air.


    Boom!


    The black snakes were cut into pieces and their bodies fell into the ocean.


    ¡°As long as one¡¯s strength hasn¡¯t reached the Origin Core Realm, they can¡¯t threaten me.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    Gulu! Gulu! Gulu!


    The ocean within a hundred miles suddenly started to toss and turn.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng felt slightly uneasy, but because he couldn¡¯t use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he didn¡¯t understand what was happening.


    He used his Spiritual Sense to detect his surroundings and jumped up in fright. His Spiritual Sense was restricted in the limitless ocean and couldn¡¯t detect very far.


    Gulu! Gulu! Gulu!


    Tens of thousands of beasts ¨C mainly water snakes ¨C surged out from the ocean.


    Sou~ Sou~ Sou~~~~~~


    The smaller of these beasts were the size of a palm while the bigger ones were the size of a small mountain.


    All of them could fly in the air briefly.


    Wu~~~


    More than a dozen of these beasts had auras comparable to the half-step Origin Core Realm, and the others were all at the True Spirit Realm.


    _Run!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyelids twitched as more and more beasts appeared.


    _Wind Lightning Tornado!_


    Zhao Feng used his attack with the widest area and swept away everything within one or two miles.


    Waves of beasts fell into the ocean and turned the water red, but that only caused more and more beasts to appear.


    Wu~


    Zhao Feng heard several deep roars come from the bottom of the ocean. There were probably several Sovereign beasts heading this way.


    In just a short while, tens of thousands of beasts within a thousand miles were charging over.


    ¡°Master, this is probably your first time here. This is the territory of the ocean beasts, and one can¡¯t start a slaughter here or else countless beasts will chase after you.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was woken up by the disturbance.


    Zhao Feng knew that he fucked up.


    ¡°I¡¯ll run away first.¡±


    With the skeletal Division Leader giving him directions, Zhao Feng flew higher and dodged the beasts, but he couldn¡¯t fly too high.


    There were terrifying winds above that could rip even Sovereigns into pieces.


    Furthermore, the higher one went, the thinner the mist was, and one would face the scorching flames of the Ancient Golden Crow.


    Even Void God Realm experts would turn to ash if they had to face the light of the Ancient Golden Crow head-on.


    ¡°Human, where are you trying to run?¡±


    A beast that looked like a human spoke in the human language and held a spear in one hand.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother replying as he charged more than a thousand miles away and tried his best not to fight; only then did the number of beasts decrease.


    ¡°The Yuan Qi here is too thin. Humans can¡¯t fight here for very long.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that his True Force was being depleted quite quickly. This meant that he had to rely on Primal Crystal Stones to help him recover.


    At the same time, a boat around ten meters long appeared dozens of miles behind Zhao Feng.


    The color of the boat was extremely similar to the ocean and seemed to merge with it. It travelled silently and couldn¡¯t be sensed.


    ¡°Boss, there seems to be a dumbass ahead with the cultivation of a late-stage True Lord Rank. He dares to enter the limitless ocean alone?¡±


    Several nasty figures appeared onboard.


    ¡°Looking at that brat¡¯s poor outfit¡­ rob him? We probably wouldn¡¯t get anything at all and might even reveal our location instead.¡±

 562 Blue Lightning Pirates

    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath after escaping.


    ¡°Master, a group of pirates has locked on to us.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said from within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    _Pirates?_


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t paying much attention to his surroundings previously. After hearing that and concentrating, he could manage to faintly sense them.


    His senses were faint because he was relying on his Spiritual Sense, since he still didn¡¯t dare to easily use the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Pirates in the limitless ocean often rob businessmen and some other types of people, but it looks like they¡¯re not planning to make a move on you.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader had a weird expression as it spoke. Because it specialized in the Dao of the Soul, its Spiritual Sense was so strong that it could hear what the pirates were talking about.


    The skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or smile; these pirates thought that Zhao Feng was too poor to rob.


    The skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t know how to express its current emotions. The wealth that Zhao Feng had was enough to make even its eyes go red.


    Putting aside the Earth-Grade inheritance weapon and the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, just the raw materials on him surpassed a normal one-star clan.


    Before they left, Zhao Feng gathered a bunch of resources from the Purple Saint Ruins and filled up his interspatial ring.


    These pirates never would have thought that the wealth this youth had was comparable to thousands of years of robbing.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    At this moment, there were still a few beasts that were chasing after Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    He didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer and proceeded to run away through the air.


    The map of the Tianlu Islands once again appeared in his mind.


    ¡°This place is within the Eight Desolate Mountain¡¯s territory.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes looked ahead, but unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t see very far without the use of his left eye.


    Hu~ Sou!


    The gray boat behind him was silently travelling at a steady speed.


    The boat was made of an extremely tough material. Attacks from normal beasts wouldn¡¯t be able to put a dent in it.


    There were at least a couple dozen rooms within the boat, and a discussion was going on in one of the rooms.


    ¡°Boss, that brat¡¯s flying on the same route as us. Will he disrupt our plan?¡±


    A scar-faced man asked.


    ¡°Hmph, since he doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him, we should send a couple brothers over and get rid of him. A mosquito¡¯s meat is still meat.¡±


    Several pirates were getting impatient.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng flying ahead of them had caught their attention. Zhao Feng¡¯s distance to their boat was extremely close.


    ¡°Suppress it for just a while longer.¡±


    At the head of the seats was a youth dressed in blue. He was extremely handsome and contradicted the usual fierce look of a pirate.


    The blue-dressed youth thought for a while before his expression turned nasty, ¡°There¡¯s too many beasts around, and there were even auras of some Sovereign beasts before. If this retard affects our plan, even killing him ten thousand times won¡¯t be enough of a punishment.¡±


    Most of the pirates were disdainful toward Zhao Feng, but they didn¡¯t know whether to just kill him or not.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng flew according to the map in his mind, but what made him speechless was that the pirates kept following him.


    Even the skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t understand.


    At the moment, the pirates had all gone inside the boat, so it didn¡¯t dare to spy on them.


    After flying for dozens of thousands of miles, the outline of a large mountain appeared.


    The higher one was in the limitless ocean, the further one could see.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Eight Desolate Mountain!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the Yuan Qi. Although it wasn¡¯t as great as the Azure Flower Continent, it was still several times better than the limitless ocean.


    According to the map, the Eight Desolate Mountain was the only place where humans could live within a few million miles, and it was considered a ¡°refueling¡± location.


    There were many islands that were even smaller than the Azure Flower Continent in the limitless ocean. There were deserts, mountains, swamps, etc.


    The Eight Desolate Mountain was an area full of mountains, and it was the size of the Cloud area.


    At the same time:


    ¡°Boss, the target¡¯s appeared.¡±


    The expression of the pirates changed slightly, and the blue-dressed youth nodded his head, ¡°We¡¯ll attack after we get a bit closer.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, we¡¯ll finish off that brat as well.¡±


    The scar-faced man licked his lips.


    Sou~~


    The gray boat sped up a bit.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng felt that it was slightly unusual. Not only were the pirates speeding up, a dark blue boat had appeared in front of him as well.


    The dark blue boat was three stories high, and he felt several half-step Origin Core Realm auras as he got close.


    These auras seemed to be warning Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hahaha! A measly late-stage True Lord Rank dares to venture through the limitless ocean alone?¡±


    ¡°Could that brat be some young master that lost his way?¡±


    Several figures appeared on the dark blue boat, and they pointed at Zhao Feng with playful expressions.


    It was obviously a rare sight to see a True Lord Rank traveling across the limitless ocean alone.


    On the dark blue boat, an elder stood at the very front. Next to him were several half-step Origin Core Realms.


    _Sovereign!_


    Zhao Feng felt a wisp of mental energy from the elder, but the latter¡¯s gaze only faintly scanned Zhao Feng without paying very much attention.


    ¡°The nearest island is tens of millions of miles away. His cultivation is the same as mine, but he can already travel across the limitless ocean. Incredible!¡±


    A young girl¡¯s voice sounded. An average-looking young girl appeared next to the Sovereign and looked at Zhao Feng with admiration.


    The laughing figures stiffened. It was indeed unusual for a measly late-stage True Lord Rank to be able to travel so far across the limitless ocean alone.


    ¡°This youth definitely has a problem!¡±


    The eyes of the older experts twinkled as they became wary and suspicious.


    Zhao Feng was just about to go around the boat and almost rolled his eyes when he heard that, but a cold killing intent appeared from behind. The gray boat was speeding up and heading over.


    _Hmm?_


    The Sovereign already found that something was weird about Zhao Feng¡¯s presence and used his Spiritual Sense.


    ¡°Everyone, watch out! Pirates!¡±


    His expression changed dramatically as he scanned over the area with his Spiritual Sense.


    More than a dozen figures instantly appeared on the boat.


    ¡°I told you that there was something wrong with that brat.¡±


    ¡°That brat is probably a scout for the pirates.¡±


    The experts, including the Sovereign, all looked coldly at Zhao Feng, but he wasn¡¯t important at the moment.


    Dozens of fierce figures flew over from the gray boat. The leader was a youth in blue who brought an unparalleled power with him.


    Without a doubt, he had reached the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Not good! It¡¯s the Blue Lightning Pirates!¡±


    The elder¡¯s heart dropped, and he took a deep breath as he looked at the youth dressed in blue with wariness.


    ¡°Blue Lightning Pirates! One of the ten biggest pirate groups around the Eight Desolate Mountain!¡±


    Chaos broke out on the dark blue boat.


    Of the dozens of figures from the Blue Lightning Pirates, the weakest of them had reached the peak True Lord Rank, and there were five or six half-step Origin Core Realms.


    The group on the defending boat got into a formation, but the pirates had the advantage both in numbers and in strength.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    The instant the two forces clashed, screams of agony came from the defenders.


    ¡°Blue Lightning Pirates, please stop! There¡¯s nothing important on this boat. If you want something, we can talk it over. There¡¯s no need to fight.¡±


    The Sovereign elder tried to stop the violence.


    Normally, pirates only wanted treasure. As long as the travelling boats paid a price, they would be safe.


    ¡°Hehe. Old man, we don¡¯t want money. As long as you hand over Lady Loulan Zhishui, we can let you live.¡±


    The youth in blue smiled.


    ¡°Lady Loulan? How did you know?¡±


    The Sovereign elder was shocked and his heart fell.


    The youth in blue smiled at the average-looking girl next to the elder.


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    The elder spoke in a cold tone, ¡°Even if I die, I shall send Lady Loulan to the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect. The hope of the Loulan family rests on her.¡±


    ¡°Kill everyone! Capture Loulan Zhisuhi alive!¡±


    The youth in blue ordered.


    The two forces started to fight once more.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    Zhao Feng finally understood why the pirates didn¡¯t attack him, but he didn¡¯t have any business in this matter.


    Zhao Feng silently tried to go around.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe. Brat! You think you can run away from the Blue Lightning Pirates?¡±


    A fierce scar-faced man and two other peak True Lord Ranks charged over toward Zhao Feng.

 563 Purple Destruction Wind Lightning

    Battle broke out between the two forces, and the pirates had the absolute advantage as they surrounded the boat.


    Peng~~~


    The two Sovereigns fought in the air, causing shockwaves to sweep across a distance of more than a dozen miles.


    __


    _Water Lightning Infinity!_


    The dressed-in-blue pirate leader shot out beams of water and lightning.


    Boom! Boom!


    The elder dressed in multi-colored clothes fought back, but his attacks were weakened and absorbed by the beams of water and lightning.


    The Water Lightning Infinity attack then formed a chaotic whirlpool.


    Bam!


    The elder was pushed back a couple steps.


    ¡°Hehe, the report was correct. Old Man Huang, you¡¯re only at the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm. Even if you weren¡¯t injured, you would¡¯t be my match.¡±


    The youth in blue easily suppressed the elder. The latter was injured and was only at 70-80% of his peak.


    _The Origin Core Realm is split into the Small Origin Core Realm and Great Origin Core Realm, which are both split into early-, middle-, and late-stage._


    Zhao Feng watched the two fighting Sovereigns.


    The elder in multi-colored clothes was at the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm, about the same as the skeletal Division Leader, whereas the pirate in blue had reached the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    In terms of both skill and strength, the pirate had the upper hand. What interested Zhao Feng most was the Water Lightning laws that the pirate cultivated.


    Water Lightning, Wood Lightning, Wind Lightning¡­ these were all related to Lightning.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning Inheritance placed greater importance on speed and offense whereas the pirate¡¯s Water Lightning laws focused on both defense and offense.


    ¡°Brat, how dare you not pay attention!?¡±


    The scar-faced male and the other two pirates charged over. The youth in front of them didn¡¯t even seem to bother with them, and he even had the spare time and energy to watch the two Sovereigns fight.


    ¡°Haha, this is probably the first time this brat¡¯s entered the limitless ocean. He probably hasn¡¯t seen much.¡±


    One of the peak True Lord Ranks said in disdain.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The three of them quickly surrounded Zhao Feng.


    One of the peak True Lord Ranks held a silver whip that whistled around Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Peak-tier Spiritual-Grade weapon.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. The strength of these pirates was greater than he expected.


    One had to know that the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion only had a high-tier Spiritual-Grade weapon. The Wheel of Light and Darkness was maybe comparable to a peak-tier Spiritual-Grade weapon at best.


    On the other hand, a normal pirate already had a peak-tier Spiritual-Grade weapon.


    However, thinking about it, the minimum requirement to travel across the limitless ocean was to be a True Lord Rank, and if these pirates had the strength to rob people traveling said ocean, they wouldn¡¯t be too weak.


    Qiu~~~~


    The silver whip whistled around Zhao Feng and blocked off his path of retreat.


    Only one of the pirates attacked. The other two seemed to be there just to watch a good show.


    It was obvious that they thought that one person would be enough to kill Zhao Feng. The reason all three came was because they were wary of Zhao Feng¡¯s speed.


    ¡°Fuck off!¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dodge or evade as the whip flashed over, he simply sent a ripple of wind and lightning across an area of a hundred yards.


    Wu~


    The attacking pirate harrumphed coldly, but soon felt his body go numb.


    Wah!


    Before he could react, a sharp flash of lightning pierced through his body.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    The peak True Lord Rank yelled as he died.


    This scene caused the hearts of the scar-faced man and the other peak True Lord Rank to jump.


    _So fast!_


    They were dazed. They thought that they could kill this ¡°retard¡± with ease, but one of them was killed in an instant instead.


    ¡°Watch out, this brat¡¯s Wind Lightning laws are extremely profound.¡±


    The scar-faced man released his half-step Origin Core Realm aura. The two had solemn expressions and no longer dared to underestimate their opponent.


    Even the scar-faced man, who had reached the half-step Origin Core Realm, didn¡¯t have the confidence to kill a peak True Lord Rank in one move the way Zhao Feng did.


    ¡°Attack!¡±


    The scar-faced man and the other pirate looked at each other before they both charged over.


    The powerful blows of a half-step Origin Core Realm and a peak True Lord Rank enveloped Zhao Feng.


    Such strength was enough to kill a normal True Lord Rank with ease.


    Sigh.


    A soft sigh came from within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    The skeletal Division Leader felt sorry for these pirates. More than a couple Sovereigns had died at the hands of Zhao Feng.


    Even if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use his eye-bloodline, he was unparalleled against those below the Origin Core Realm.


    Shua!


    The attacks of the two pirates completely missed.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    The other peak True Lord Rank screamed as he was cut in two.


    Si!


    The last remaining scar-faced man took in a cold breath.


    The speed this youth displayed was even faster than half-step Origin Core Realms.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    The death of two pirates raised the attention of everyone else. Even the pirate leader glanced over.


    However, before they figured out what was going on, Zhao Feng had already charged toward the scar-faced man.


    Whoosh!


    It was still a flash of wind and lightning containing a faint purple glow, which caused many beings to tremble uneasily.


    ¡°Eight Slaughtering Sky Sealing Fist!¡±


    The scar-faced man used his strongest move with all his power, thrusting out eight fists that seemed to seal off the entire area.


    One had to admit that the strength the scar-faced man displayed had already exceeded Tiemo and many other half-step Origin Core Realms from the Azure Flower Continent.


    But in front of that wind and lightning, his powerful technique was utterly crushed.


    ¡°Argh!!¡±


    The scar-faced man¡¯s body was sliced in two and started to smoke. This scene caused the hearts of both forces to jump.


    ¡°That youth is so strong!¡±


    Both sides revealed looks of respect, awe, and fear.


    In just an instant, a half-step Origin Core Realm and two peak True Lord Ranks were killed by that youth.


    ¡°That youth isn¡¯t simple. I¡¯m the top genius of the Eight Desolate Mountain, but I¡¯m nothing compared to him.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui on the boat was stunned and unable to calm down.


    The loss of three pirates raised the pirate leader¡¯s attention.


    ¡°Hmm? That youth¡¯s techniques¡­ could it be¡­?¡±


    The pirate leader was surprised by the situation.


    Not only was Zhao Feng strong, his Wind Lightning laws caught the attention of the pirate leader.


    He cultivated in the laws of Water Lightning, but he knew that his techniques were nothing in comparison to Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    ¡°Hong San. Jiao Si.¡±


    The pirate leader made the other Sovereign cough out blood as he gave an order to two experts.


    ¡°Boss, we¡¯ll stall that brat.¡±


    Two powerful auras retreated from the attacking squad. One was an elder with a walking-stick while the other was an ugly male wearing some sort of special skin.


    The cultivation of these two had also reached the half-step Origin Core Realm, but their auras were stronger than the scar-faced man from before.


    ¡°Kid, how dare you kill our brothers? I¡¯m going to skin you layer-by-layer.¡±


    The ugly man laughed gruesomely as he took out a piece of a scarlet-and-black blade.


    The piece of the blade had a wisp of an Earth-Grade aura and filled the area with pressure.


    _A piece of an Earth-Grade weapon!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pupils shrunk.


    The walking-stick of the elder had an aura between the peak-tier Spiritual-Grade and low-tier Earth-Grade.


    ¡°False Earth-Grade weapon!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl exclaimed.


    Zhao Feng had heard of False Earth-Grade weapons. They were weapons made from pieces of Earth-Grade weapons. Although their power wasn¡¯t as great as a true Earth-Grade weapon, they were complete.


    ¡°Junior, die!¡±


    The elder holding the walking-stick and the ugly man attacked at the same time, and the power of two Earth-Grade items seemed to control the world.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression finally changed as he was targeted by two Earth-Grade auras.


    ¡°The combination of these two can fight a Sovereign for a short while.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning glowed with a stronger purple.


    Sou!


    Zhao Feng raised his speed to an entirely new level.


    Pi! Pa! Boom~~~~


    A tornado of wind and lightning started to form, and it contained an aura of Destruction.


    The elder with the walking-stick and the ugly man didn¡¯t fear him at all as they teamed up to destroy the tornado.


    However, at the same time, a dazzling figure broke through and counterattacked.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning Whip!¡±


    An azure-and-purple whip dozens of yards long condensed in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand and swished through the air.


    Pi! Pa! Bam!


    The whip with a Destruction aura clashed with the two pirates.


    ¡°What kind of technique does this brat cultivate? His battle-power is terrifying.¡±


    The two pirates were stunned. They had a piece of an Earth-Grade weapon and a False Earth-Grade weapon and they still didn¡¯t even have the upper hand.


    ¡°Purple Destruction Wind Lightning? Could it be the inheritance of the legendary Wind Lightning Emperor?¡±


    On the other side, the pirate leader in blue was completely focused on Zhao Feng.

 564 Plunder

    ¡°Could it be the inheritance of the legendary Wind Lightning Emperor?¡±


    The pirate leader in blue was now fully focused on Zhao Feng¡¯s fight.


    He cultivated in the laws of Water Lightning, so he understood certain legends to some degree.


    There were many legends in the Cang Ocean about the ones who cultivated lightning-related laws, and the Wind Lightning Emperor was one of those experts.


    Tens of thousands of years ago, the Wind Lightning Emperor reigned supreme with his speed.


    The pirate leader knew of the Wind Lightning Inheritance, and he was suspicious that the youth in front of him had received a part of that inheritance.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s speed surpasses normal half-step Origin Core Realms, he uses ¡®Purple Destruction¡¯ lightning, and he can fight against Hong San and Jiao Si, and those two have even blocked Sovereigns before. Only the best of inheritances can allow for such a thing.¡±


    The pirate leader became more confident in his guess, and greed appeared in his heart. He couldn¡¯t control the excitement in his heart.


    This was the inheritance of an Emperor.


    Furthermore, the Wind Lightning Emperor wasn¡¯t just any Void God Realm Emperor ¨C he had unparalleled speed.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning Whip!¡±


    Zhao Feng used his Wind Lightning techniques to gain a small advantage against his two opponents.


    ¡°Stop him!¡±


    The elder with the walking-stick and the ugly man became more and more shocked. They didn¡¯t even think about killing Zhao Feng anymore, they just tried to stall him.


    ¡°The battle-power of these two together is even slightly stronger than Lu Tianyi before he reached the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed.


    If he didn¡¯t use any killing moves, he wouldn¡¯t be able to finish off these two very quickly.


    However, he wasn¡¯t in a rush. Although he had comprehended one fifth of the purple-colored lightning, he didn¡¯t have much battle experience in using it.


    These two were perfect for him to test things out.


    He didn¡¯t want to use the Ice Imperial Spear, Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, or the skeletal Division Leader to finish them off so fast.


    During the fight, Zhao Feng continued testing out his Purple Destruction Lightning techniques.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed throughout the air and the aura of the Purple Destruction Lightning became more condensed.


    He was faster than the two pirates even without using the Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    As time passed, the elder with the walking-stick and the ugly man became more and more pressured. At the same time, the defending boat hadn¡¯t escaped danger yet, but after Hong San and Jiao Si were deployed elsewhere, they could manage to withstand for a while longer.


    However, the elder in multi-colored clothes was in danger.


    ¡°Old Man Huang, if you fight just a bit longer, you¡¯ll no longer be able to escape.¡±


    The expression of the pirate leader in blue was grim. This Sovereign elder fighting back angered him, and he was worried that Zhao Feng would escape.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was much faster than his two opponents, so he could run away without any difficulty. On the other hand, it wasn¡¯t easy to kill a Sovereign within a short amount of time, even if it was an injured one.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s advantage became bigger and bigger. Within his mind, the tattered world of wind and lightning appeared in different forms.


    Zhao Feng was comprehending the purple-colored lightning, understanding more and more small details.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning Snake Dance!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning Whip became more and more condensed, and it started to behave like a snake ¨C agile and quick.


    It seemed as if a snake made of wind and lightning was being waved around by Zhao Feng.


    Pi! Pa! Boom~~


    The elder with the walking-stick and the ugly man were getting a beating.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Sovereign level mental energy was digging out the potential of the Wind Lightning Inheritance.


    ¡°Let¡¯s end this soon.¡±


    Zhao Feng increased his attacks as he utilized the intent of a Sovereign.


    Although he had cut off his bond with the scorpion, the three sects had caught onto him.


    _Not good!_


    Back near the boat, the pirate leader¡¯s expression changed dramatically. In his sight, the youth started pushing back the two pirates.


    ¡°Arghhhhh!¡±


    The elder with the walking-stick and the ugly man screamed as their bodies became scorched.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attack contained the power of Destruction, which severely limited any recovery capabilities.


    In just a short while, the two pirates became more injured as they started to retreat, but how could their speed be compared to Zhao Feng?


    ¡°Ahhh!¡±


    The ugly man howled as one of his legs was caught by the Wind Lightning Whip and started to contort.


    Crack!


    He gave up on that leg and burnt his Source of True Spirit to save himself.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed once more, and his whip landed on the walking-stick elder¡¯s back.


    Wah!


    The elder with the walking-stick spat out a mouthful of blood as he was pushed back over a hundred yards.


    ¡°Help me!¡±


    The two pirates started to run. If they didn¡¯t, they would lose their lives.


    _Hmph!_


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t chase after either of them and flew away in another direction instead.


    _Hmm!?_


    Both sides were surprised.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t help either of the two sides after injuring the two pirates.


    ¡°Brat¡­! Stop!¡±


    The pirate leader couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and roared. At this point, he had to make a difficult decision.


    If he left the Sovereign elder, the pirates would be slaughtered.


    Furthermore, if he chased after Zhao Feng, he might have to face the attacks of both Zhao Feng and the Sovereign elder at the same time.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s strength, if he teamed up with the Sovereign elder, the situation wouldn¡¯t be very good for the pirate leader. Who knew what kind of hidden techniques Zhao Feng had? After all, he had inherited the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s techniques.


    Yet, if he was to let Zhao Feng leave, he might miss the chance to obtain the Wind Lightning Inheritance.


    ¡°Little brother, these pirates are enemies to the both of us. If we team up and defeat them, I¡¯ll be extremely grateful¡­!¡±


    The Sovereign elder also yelled.


    Hearing that, the pirate leader¡¯s expression changed. Once Zhao Feng joined the other side, the situation would take a turn for the worse.


    Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t listen to either of them.


    Logically, if Zhao Feng was attacked by the pirates, he should choose to help the Sovereign elder.


    ¡°If you¡¯re able to help us, I¡¯ll agree to any of your demands, and the Loulan family will repay you¡­.¡±


    A light voice came from the boat.


    The owner of this voice was Loulan Zhishui.


    At this moment in time, Loulan Zhishui¡¯s appearance had become one of extreme beauty.


    ¡°Lady Loulan.¡±


    Friend and foe alike were dazed. Within the mist, having a beauty like her accompanying you would be extremely heart-stirring. Her ¡°I¡¯ll agree to any of your demands¡± was also very alluring.


    Unfortunately, she wasn¡¯t speaking to anyone of them.


    However, the youth remained emotionless and left. Both sides were shocked. This kid had no reaction toward Loulan Zhishui.


    ¡°Hmm? Something¡¯s wrong.¡±


    The pirates realized something was wrong. Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t heading in the direction of the Eight Desolate Mountain; he was heading in the opposite direction.


    Qiu!


    Zhao Feng turned into a streak of Wind Lightning that closed in on the gray boat ¨C the pirate ship of the Blue Lightning Pirates.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    Only pirates at the early-stage and late-stage True Lord Rank were left behind on the boat.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng landed on the deck.


    ¡°Master, this ship is of extremely high quality and its defense is very powerful. If I¡¯m correct, this ship can dive into the ocean and even change its appearance.¡±


    Inside the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, the skeletal Division Leader was very satisfied.


    Zhao Feng took care of the remaining pirates without any effort.


    ¡°Hehe, as long as one has enough primal crystal stones and enough helpers, they can easily travel across the limitless ocean. Those on a ship can spend more time on cultivation.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader explained.


    Because they needed a couple sailors, Zhao Feng left some of the pirates alive.


    In reality, this was all the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s idea, and Zhao Feng was moved by it. After all, it wasn¡¯t easy to fly for so long.


    He needed to find the Sky Saint Qin Palace that was in another territory. He needed a ship indeed.


    ¡°Shameless thief~~~~!¡±


    The pirate leader almost exploded from anger.


    The worry he had before was utterly useless. Not only did Zhao Feng not join forces with the elder, he stole their ship.


    The Blue Lightning Pirates started to curse. Being pirates, they never expected for them to be the ones getting plundered.

 565 The Skeletal Division Leader’s Battle-Strength

    Above the limitless ocean, both parties paused when they saw Zhao Feng stealing the pirates¡¯ ship.


    ¡°Shameless thief!¡±


    ¡°Stop him! We can¡¯t let the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship land in his hands.¡±


    The pirates started to curse.


    On the other end, Loulan Zhishui and company were dazed at Zhao Feng¡¯s actions.


    ¡°That youth¡¯s courage is way too great. He even dares to steal the Blue Lightning Pirates¡¯ ship?¡±


    The Blue Lightning Pirates was one of the ten biggest pirate groups around the Eight Desolate Mountain, and many businessmen feared their name.


    Although their battle-power wasn¡¯t too strong, their agility and stealth surpassed most others, which were their biggest advantage.


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship had several hundred years of history and was one of the best ships around the Eight Desolate Mountain. It was fast, stealthy, and had powerful defense.


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡±


    The usually-calm pirate leader was angered. The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was his biggest asset. If it was stolen, they would no longer be one of the ten biggest pirate groups.


    ¡°Water Lightning Heaven Flipping Hand!¡±


    The blue-clad pirate leader thrusted out a large hand that caused the air to twist.


    Wah!


    The already injured Sovereign elder was sent flying by the Water Lightning Heaven Flipping Hand.


    ¡°Brat, how dare you put your eyes on my ship!?¡±


    The pirate leader¡¯s face started to become cold. At this moment, he no longer bothered with the elder and charged back toward his ship.


    ¡°Retreat. Kill that thief and take back our ship.¡±


    The pirate leader ordered as he led the pirates toward Zhao Feng.


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was their foundation; it couldn¡¯t be lost.


    Furthermore, that brat might¡¯ve received the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor.


    The Sovereign elder in multi-colored clothes was extremely surprised. The pirate leader could¡¯ve killed him first and then chased after Zhao Feng.


    The group on the boat was dazzled. The pirate leader decided to retreat and attack Zhao Feng instead.


    ¡°Hehe, that brat didn¡¯t help us earlier. It¡¯s his turn now.¡±


    Some people started gloating, and others agreed.


    ¡°Uncle Huang, that youth¡¯s extremely talented and powerful. If we team up with him, we have a 40-50% chance of fighting off the pirates. Otherwise, the Blue Lightning Pirate will return¡­.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui analyzed and said in a low tone.


    Frankly, she didn¡¯t like how Zhao Feng didn¡¯t come to their aid either, but in the current scenario, the best solution was for them to team up with Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhishui¡­¡±


    The Sovereign elder shook his head bitterly and sent a message through his spiritual sense, ¡°Even if we team up with that youth, we will still die. The only path to survival is to escape back to the Eight Desolate Mountain and give up on everyone else.¡±


    Hearing that, Loulan Zhishui¡¯s expression changed dramatically as she looked at the elder in disbelief.


    It was obvious that his injuries were worse than she had imagined. He was forcefully suppressing them right now.


    The last attack from the Blue Lightning Pirate injured his foundation.


    ¡°Give up on everyone else¡­?¡±


    Loulan Zhisuhi started to hesitate. If they didn¡¯t do so, the Sovereign elder would most likely die, and at that time, no one would be able to survive anyway.


    ¡°Zhishui, return with me to the Eight Desolate Mountain while that kid¡¯s stalling him¡­.¡±


    The Sovereign elder wiped the blood from his mouth and landed in front of Loulan Zhishui.


    ¡°Is there¡­ no hope at all?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui looked toward the youth.


    At this instant, the pirate leader led the others and charged at Zhao Feng.


    Surprisingly, the youth glanced at them without fear.


    ¡°Surround him!¡±


    The pirate leader felt as if there was a trap and didn¡¯t immediately attack.


    The faraway Sovereign elder was also puzzled by Zhao Feng¡¯s actions, but of course, the stronger Zhao Feng was, the more beneficial it was for them.


    ¡°Be careful when you attack.¡±


    The pirate leader ordered as he summoned waves of water and lightning that crushed toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng instantly felt a thick, dense power of Water Lightning surge over.


    The power of Water Lightning was continuous and powerful.


    _Rings of Wind and Lightning!_


    Zhao Feng leapt into the air and sent waves of azure-and-purple Wind Lightning rings pulsing outward in every direction.


    Pi! Pa!


    The two attacks clashed. In terms of offense, Zhao Feng had the upper hand.


    ¡°This Purple Destruction Lightning and this speed must be the Wind Lightning Inheritance. Luckily, this brat¡¯s only comprehended a tiny bit of it¡­.¡±


    The pirate leader wanted to capture Zhao Feng alive, so he only used 60-70% of his battle-power.


    Pi! Pa! Boom~~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Rings of Wind and Lightning started to shatter.


    ¡°The Blue Lightning Pirate¡¯s power of Water Lightning is extremely dense and continuous¡­.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s inheritance was better and had the advantage in speed and offense, he still couldn¡¯t fight against a pirate that had cultivated for several hundred years.


    The pirate leader¡¯s cultivation was the same as Elder Shui Yun, the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    Without using his eye-bloodline, Zhao Feng could only fight against someone at the early-stage Small Origin Core Realm, and he could maybe stall middle-stage Small Origin Core Realms.


    Even though the pirate leader in blue didn¡¯t use his full strength, he was still suppressing Zhao Feng.


    _Ice Imperial Spear!_


    Zhao Feng summoned a portion of the Ice Imperial Spear¡¯s strength, and an ancient coldness swept toward the pirate leader.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s incomplete Earth-Grade weapon isn¡¯t simple.¡±


    Instead of panicking, the pirate leader was happy.


    Incomplete Earth-Grade weapons were also split into different tiers. There was the low tier, middle tier, high tier, and inheritance Earth-Grade weapons.


    ¡°So unfortunate. If that youth teamed up with me earlier, we would¡¯ve had a good chance of pushing back the Blue Lightning Pirates.¡±


    The Sovereign elder was surprised by Zhao Feng¡¯s strength, and also regretful.


    Zhao Feng could fight against normal early-stage Small Origin Core Realms, but the Blue Lightning Pirate¡¯s cultivation and strength were much higher.


    As the situation worsened:


    _I should be able to suppress him with the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, or maybe¡­_


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t panic. He simply waved his hand.


    Shua!


    A gold-and-silver skeleton with flaming eyes appeared, and an aura of Death filled the air.


    ¡°Bone Strengthening¡­ Sovereign!¡±


    The pirate leader¡¯s smile froze.


    From its aura, this Sovereign wouldn¡¯t be too weak, and he could sense the aura of an Earth-Grade weapon.


    ¡°Sovereign!¡±


    The Sovereign elder who was about to retreat couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    In the limitless ocean, most people that travelled were True Lord Ranks. Therefore, they were the most commonly seen.


    However, when one reached the Origin Core Realm, it was different. They were rare in the limitless ocean and were considered experts.


    And now, Zhao Feng had summoned a Sovereign. Everything changed.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ I haven¡¯t worked out in quite a while.¡±


    A dark light glowed around the skeletal Division Leader.


    It had recovered to its peak long ago, and it even became stronger in the Purple Saint Ruins.


    The Nine Deadly Yin Bone had merged into its bones, increasing both its offense and defense.


    The skeletal Division Leader charged toward the pirate leader. Its every fist and palm caused the aura of Death to surge. With the Nine Deadly Yin Bone, its strength had surpassed normal Sovereigns.


    The spectating Sovereign was shocked. He wouldn¡¯t be the skeleton¡¯s match even if he was at his peak.


    The skeletal Division Leader specialized in mental energy and bone-strengthening, so it could attack both the physical and the mental energy world.


    ¡°Purple Destruction ¨C Wind Lightning Snake Dance!¡±


    Snakes made of wind and lightning danced around Zhao Feng and bit toward the Blue Lightning Pirate leader.


    Facing attacks from both opponents, the Blue Lightning Pirate leader cursed. Although he had a supporting Earth-Grade weapon as well, it couldn¡¯t be compared to the Nine Deadly Yin Bone.


    ¡°Nine Deadly Yin Bone!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader summoned its Earth-Grade weapon, and a large dark silver bone spike shot through the air.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    Some peak True Lord Rank pirates nearby were killed by the slightest aftershock of its power.


    The Blue Lightning Pirate leader retreated and started to swear. He had to face Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks at the same time, and he was already lightly injured from his fight with the Sovereign elder.


    ¡°Looks like the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s strength has increased by quite a bit.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Due to the fact that he couldn¡¯t use his eye-bloodline easily, the skeletal Division Leader was his greatest weapon right now.

 566 Eight Desolate Mountain

    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s strength had exceeded its peak during the Scarlet Moon era, and that was due to the fact that it received resources from the Purple Saint Ruins, including the Nine Deadly Yin Bone.


    Every Earth-Grade weapon had an extensive history, and they all required the mental energy of at least a Void God Realm level.


    On top of the resources from the ruins, fighting with the three sects¡¯ experts had improved the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s skills and experience.


    At this moment in time, the skeletal Division Leader had a slight advantage against the Blue Lightning Pirate leader.


    Zhao Feng supported it by using his Wind Lightning techniques and the phantom of the Ice Imperial Spear to annoy the pirate leader.


    The advantage of the master and servant duo started to become bigger.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning!¡±


    A pair of wings started to condense on Zhao Feng¡¯s back that increased his speed.


    As he gained further comprehension of the inheritance, the Wings of Wind and Lightning increased Zhao Feng¡¯s sense for wind and lightning in addition to the speed boost.


    Shu~~~


    With the help of the wings, Zhao Feng became far more agile, and his attacks became stronger.


    The Blue Lightning Pirate leader became more pressured as more and more pirates were killed by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The elder with the walking-stick and the ugly man were slain by Zhao Feng.


    In just a short while, there were no more pirates near the Blue Lightning Pirate leader anymore; he now fought alone.


    ¡°Earth-Grade weapon ¨C Ice Imperial Spear!¡±


    The phantom of the blue spear started to condense, forming the true Ice Imperial Spear.


    Shu~~~~ Bo~~


    The Ice Imperial Spear radiated a cold aura and started to freeze everything in the surrounding area.


    An ancient and freezing aura enveloped everything within ten miles, but Zhao Feng tried to suppress that to a range of one or two miles.


    All the pirates still remaining were instantly frozen.


    ¡°This weapon¡­ could it be an ancient Ice Emperor¡¯s inheritance Earth-Grade weapon?¡±


    The people on the boat felt as if they were encased in ice.


    Although there were other Earth-Grade weapons being used in this fight, Zhao Feng¡¯s Ice Imperial Spear was far more profound.


    Even the pirate leader¡¯s blood and True Force started to freeze.


    ¡°Void Sky Yin Demonic Stab!¡±


    Using this chance, the skeletal Division Leader threw out its Earth-Grade weapon, which pierced through the air and hit the Blue Lightning Pirate leader.


    Boom!


    The Blue Lightning Pirate leader grunted as his face went white and a hole was torn open in his chest.


    ¡°Stay and die!¡±


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader teamed up and made the Blue Lightning Pirate leader cough out blood.


    At the same time, an aura at the Origin Core Realm closed in.


    ¡°Blue Lightning Pirate, die!¡±


    The Sovereign elder led his forces and charged over.


    ¡°Dammit.¡±


    The Blue Lightning Pirate leader turned into a streak of dazzling light that flashed through the air as blood continued to drip from his mouth.


    Qiu!


    A bright beam of water and lightning could be seen flying through the limitless ocean.


    After the Blue Lightning Pirate leader¡¯s last secret technique a while back, Zhao Feng was slightly injured but soon recovered with his water bloodline.


    On the other hand, it was the elder with multi-colored clothes that was injured.


    Wah!


    The Sovereign elder staggered and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°Master, should we chase after the Blue Lightning Pirate leader and kill him?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader wanted to pursue him. After getting beat all the time in the Purple Saint Ruins, it could finally beat people up.


    ¡°No need.¡±


    Zhao Feng only wanted to take the ship. He didn¡¯t care about the Blue Lightning Pirates¡¯ revenge. After all, he was just going to pass by the Eight Desolate Mountain, he wasn¡¯t going to stay for too long.


    Furthermore, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to kill the Blue Lightning Pirate leader. One could see his strength from how he was able to escape three Sovereign-level opponents.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader returned to the pirate ship and started to organize it.


    ¡°How regretful.¡±


    Zhao Feng realized that everyone on the ship died from the clash of his Earth-Grade weapon before.


    Earth-Grade weapons were a forbidden force that could easily wipe out normal True Lord Ranks, and the pirates left on the boat were all weak ones that didn¡¯t specialize in battle.


    ¡°Little friend, this old man has a suggestion.¡±


    The Sovereign elder¡¯s eyes lit up as he spoke in a respectful tone.


    Loulan Zhishui and the others had all come over.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned over them and he understood; over half of their boat was destroyed in the fight earlier.


    Their boat wasn¡¯t as strong as the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship. It couldn¡¯t survive a clash between Sovereigns.


    ¡°Little friend, since you have no one to man your ship, it¡¯ll be hard for you. Why don¡¯t we travel together, and we¡¯ll provide the sailors?¡±


    The Sovereign elder smiled and asked.


    ¡°Travel together? We¡¯re not travelling in the same direction, are we?¡±


    Zhao Feng paused. He was heading toward the Eight Desolate Mountain, whereas they were going in the opposite direction.


    ¡°Little friend, if you can help send us to the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, this old man and the Loulan family will be extremely grateful. This is also a good chance for little friend¡­.¡±


    The elder suggested.


    _What? Go to the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect?_


    Zhao Feng almost rolled his eyes. He had offended all three two-star sects, and the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect hated him the most. He had killed countless experts from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, including Sovereigns.


    Luckily, he was at the edge of the Tianlu Islands and wouldn¡¯t be staying for too long.


    ¡°Little friend, you might not know this, but the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect is a two-and-a-half-star sect. You might be able to enter the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect with Lady Loulan Zhishui with your talent-¡±


    The elder encouraged.


    ¡°Stop, stop, stop. There¡¯s no room for discussion.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately stopped him.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng was so decisive, the elder and Loulan Zhishui were helpless.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I won¡¯t force it, but we can¡¯t not repay you.¡±


    The Sovereign elder and Loulan Zhishui looked at each other and invited Zhao Feng to go to the Loulan family in the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    The Eight Desolate Mountain was en route to Zhao Feng¡¯s destination anyway, and because the Sovereign elder and company¡¯s boat was damaged, they had to return.


    ¡°We can replenish all your necessities at the Eight Desolate Mountain, and we humbly invite you to the Loulan family.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    Zhao Feng defeating the Blue Lightning Pirates had won the group¡¯s respect. Even Loulan Zhishui¡¯s impression toward Zhao Feng had become one of admiration.


    ¡°Eight Desolate Mountain?¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    The Eight Desolate Mountain was a place for stocking up. Once he left the area, it would be hard to find a second place to stock up for quite a while.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Zhao Feng also wanted to see the culture of the outside world. All he had seen so far was the ocean.


    Everyone proceeded to gather on the gray metallic ship.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to worry about anything; the group had sailors who could handle everything.


    ¡°The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship is one of the best ships around the Eight Desolate Mountain. Its defense is top-tier and it¡¯s extremely fast. On top of that, it can also hide in the depths of the ocean.¡±


    The quality of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship made the sailors excited.


    The ship soon started sailing through the ocean. The ship had dozens of rooms and was split into two floors.


    At the very center of the ship was the control room.


    ¡°As long as one has enough primal crystal stones and materials, the ship can travel endlessly through the limitless ocean.¡±


    Zhao Feng entered the captain¡¯s cabin.


    The captain¡¯s room was made from a unique material that could stop Spiritual Sense from penetrating.


    Zhao Feng, Loulan Zhishui, and the Sovereign elder soon gathered together.


    From these two, Zhao Feng learned about the situation of the Eight Desolate Mountain, the three sects, and the situation of the Tianlu Islands as a whole.


    ¡°Uncle Huang, Lady Loulan, why do you two need to return to the Eight Desolate Mountain?¡±


    Zhao Feng was puzzled.


    The Sovereign elder explained in a slightly bitter tone, ¡°Our boat has been broken, and our destination is extremely far away. I¡¯m also heavily injured. Furthermore, the Blue Lightning Pirate leader has a good friend who¡¯s the leader of the Pirate Alliance.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood. The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect was extremely far away from here, so it would be hard to reach without a boat.


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship sailed through the ocean, and a flow of Yuan Qi came from ahead.


    A large mountain appeared in sight, which jutted out of the ocean and gathered all the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Looking at it, the Eight Desolate Mountain seemed to be a large piece of jade.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, we¡¯ve almost reached the inland area now.¡±


    The Sovereign elder warned. The two were familiar with each other now.


    _Inland?_


    Zhao Feng opened his Spiritual Sense and saw an invisible barrier surrounding the Eight Desolate Mountain.

 567 Loulan Family

    The gray ship slowly approached the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    They were about to enter the inland area, so Zhao Feng started focusing; he had never experienced this transition before.


    The ship soon sailed past a faint blue light.


    Weng~~~


    Sparks flew everywhere on the surface of the gray ship.


    ¡°Hmm? More resistance¡­ heavier¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body was slightly uncomfortable, and the further they went, the greater the resistance they faced.


    The limitless ocean and land were two different worlds.


    If one¡¯s cultivation hadn¡¯t reached a certain level, they physically could not enter the limitless ocean. This was why many natives at the lower levels thought that the place they lived was a continent and didn¡¯t know there was an outside world.


    Gravity, resistance, and even the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi were changing.


    The Eight Desolate Mountain was a tiny island.


    ¡°The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here is quite close to the Azure Flower Continent.¡±


    Zhao Feng sensed.


    There was also an issue with the space.


    Within their vision, the original figure of the Eight Desolate Mountain seemed only several thousand miles wide. However, as they entered, they realized that the real size of the mountains kept expanding.


    It was like a speck of sand being infinitely enlarged.


    ¡°The Eight Desolate Mountain is probably tens of thousands of miles wide ¨C almost the size of the Cloud area.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body started to re-adapt to land.


    A while later:


    Sou~~


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship lowered slightly as it seemed to enter another dimension.


    ¡°Blue sky, white clouds, a sun¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng found that it wasn¡¯t very different from the Azure Flower Continent. If he hadn¡¯t left the Azure Flower Continent, he still wouldn¡¯t know that it was just a speck compared to the outside world.


    ¡°Little friend, have you never experienced going inland?¡±


    The Sovereign elder smiled and Loulan Zhishui explained, ¡°The land world and the limitless ocean are different in terms of space. Apparently, everything in the limitless ocean is from the shattered pieces of the Desolate Continent that fell to the Fan Universe.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He had heard of this legend many times.


    The overall name of this world was the Fan Universe, and it was apparently created after the Desolate Continent shattered.


    After the Ancient Era was the Immemorial Era, then the Atavistic Era. After that came the Fan Universe.


    The Fan Universe was split into two different spatial dimensions.


    One was the limitless ocean, which wasn¡¯t suitable for normal species to live. The other was the dimension with all the big and small ¡°islands¡± that were suitable for human life and civilization.


    ¡°The Eight Desolate Mountain is near the edge of the Tianlu Islands. It¡¯s also close to the Thousand Flowing Islands and is one of the major stops between the two.¡±


    The Sovereign elder introduced.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng¡¯s mind became clear. He wanted to leave the Tianlu Islands and, if no accidents happened, the next stop would be the Thousand Flowing Islands.


    The Azure Flower Continent that Zhao Feng was born in was part of the Azure Islands, which were pretty close to the Tianlu Islands.


    However, the distance between the various islands was extremely huge. Zhao Feng was now quite far away from his hometown, and his destination was many times further.


    After entering land, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship¡¯s speed was still very fast, coming close to a normal Sovereign¡¯s speed.


    If it was in the limitless ocean, this ship would be ten times or even dozens of times faster.


    Half a day later, an enormous city with thick Heaven Earth Yuan Qi appeared in sight.


    ¡°This is the sacred city of the Eight Desolate Mountain ¨C Eight Desolate Sacred City.¡±


    The Sovereign elder¡¯s expression was slightly complex as he looked from afar.


    The ship closed in on Eight Desolate Sacred City, and everyone came to the viewing deck.


    ¡°Eight Desolate Sacred City is the center of the Eight Desolate Mountain and the main point of restocking. The three families all have forces here.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui looked at this city with a special emotion.


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship¡¯s aura was extremely powerful as it headed toward Eight Desolate Sacred City.


    Eight Desolate Sacred City had all the experts of the Eight Desolate Mountain, like the Sacred Alliance in the Azure Flower Continent.


    Apart from that, there were also experts from the outside world who were passing through.


    Most of the figures here were at least at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Limitless ocean ship¡­ what a powerful aura.¡±


    ¡°Oh my god! Isn¡¯t that the Blue Lightning Pirate¡¯s ship?¡±


    ¡°When did pirates dare to enter Eight Desolate Sacred City? Help~~~~!¡±


    Chaos broke out inside Eight Desolate Sacred City. Ships that could pass through the limitless ocean were extremely precious. However, this was a major stopping point, so they were often seen. If it were another more normal place, many experts wouldn¡¯t have even seen any limitless ocean ships.


    Furthermore, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was one of the best ships around the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    Sou~ Sou Sou~~


    Dozens of strong auras soon flew out from Eight Desolate Sacred City, and the leader was an elder at the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Regulations Sovereign.¡±


    Everyone looked at this elder with respect.


    Being a major resupply station in the limitless ocean, how could Eight Desolate Sacred City not have any Sovereigns? And there would certainly be more than one or two.


    ¡°Old Lin.¡±


    The Sovereign in multi-colored clothes flew out and greeted the Regulations Sovereign.


    Being Sovereigns that both came from Eight Desolate Sacred City, they knew each other.


    ¡°This ship is part of our spoils of war.¡±


    The Sovereign elder explained.


    A while later, after the experts had checked through the ship:


    ¡°Old Huang, you took this ship with your strength?¡±


    The Regulations Sovereign¡¯s eyes were full of questioning. He knew the history of this ship. It belonged to one of the ten biggest pirates around the Eight Desolate Mountain, the Blue Lightning Pirates. Normal Sovereigns couldn¡¯t be compared to the Blue Lightning Pirate leader.


    The elder with multi-colored clothes smiled awkwardly, ¡°This ship is actually that little friend¡¯s spoils of war.¡±


    ¡°That youth¡­?¡±


    The Regulations Sovereign looked toward Zhao Feng and his eyes almost bulged out.


    _Him? Are you joking?_


    The Regulations Sovereign became slightly angry, turned around, and left. It was obvious that he thought that the elder with multi-colored clothes was mocking him.


    Sou~~


    The pirate ship then turned toward the territory of the Loulan Family, and the Regulations Elder watched the ship go.


    His eyes suddenly squinted as he thought of something.


    _Hmm?_


    A painting appeared in his hand, and on the painting was a blue-haired youth with a blue eye. On the shoulder of the youth sat a silver-gray cat, and next to him was a skeleton.


    _That youth looks like the mysterious youth the three sects are looking for._


    The Regulations Elder thought.


    Eight Desolate Sacred City received news from the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect not long ago.


    It was a once-in-a-thousand-years rarity to see someone given a bounty from all three sects.


    Furthermore, the reward for capturing him was enough to make the eyes of even Sovereigns go red. The amount was so high that even the combined wealth of the three families might not be worth as much.


    ¡°But that youth¡¯s hair and eye are normal. He also doesn¡¯t have the cat or skeleton.¡±


    The Regulations Elder¡¯s eyes twinkled. Although he wasn¡¯t certain, the hand holding the painting was already starting to lightly tremble.


    The excitement caused his heartbeat to speed up. This was something that hadn¡¯t happened for a long time since he reached the Origin Core Realm.


    In a hall of the Loulan Family in Eight Desolate Sacred City, Zhao Feng, Loulan Zhishui, and the upper echelon of the Loulan Family sat together. As for the elder with multi-colored clothes, he was still severely injured, so he was resting.


    The Head of the Loulan Family was a kind-looking middle-aged man with the cultivation of a half-step Origin Core Realm.


    At the same time, he was Loulan Zhishui¡¯s father.


    ¡°Thank you, little friend.¡±


    The head of the Loulan Family expressed his gratitude. Although he was slightly suspicious of Zhao Feng¡¯s strength, he had saved Loulan Zhishui¡¯s life.


    ¡°Zhao Fan, you should stay here for a couple more days. The Eight Desolate Mountain has tens of thousands of years of history and many sceneries and legends¡­.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui was extremely warm. Ever since she had returned to the Loulan Family, half of her time had been spent looking at this youth.


    There was no other genius in the Eight Desolate Mountain that could be compared to him. Loulan Zhishui¡¯s early-stage True Lord Rank was already the best around, and she had a status similar to Yu Tianhao in the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°I can¡¯t stay here for long. I need to leave today.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head and said. Although he didn¡¯t know what methods the three sects had, it was best if he left earlier, and out of cautiousness, he had introduced himself as Zhao Fan.


    Before he left, Zhao Feng needed the Loulan Family¡¯s power to hire some talented sailors.


    The Loulan Family was one of the three major families in Eight Desolate Sacred City, similar to the Ten Great Clans of the Azure Flower Continent.


    In reality, the three families were about as strong as a one-star clan, but lately, the Loulan Family was falling and about to drop out of the three major families.


    Most of the Loulan Family¡¯s hope was placed on Loulan Zhishui. Once Loulan Zhishui entered the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, the Loulan Family¡¯s status would rise dramatically.

 568 Take Me With You

    A few hours later, in the fields of the Loulan Family there stood dozens of people, young and old alike.


    The cultivation of these people had all reached the True Lord Rank, and several of them looked quite fierce.


    ¡°Little friend Zhao, these people are all willing to become sailors, and they¡¯re the best of the Eight Desolate Mountain.¡±


    The Head of the Loulan Family smiled and said.


    Zhao Feng nodded faintly. The Loulan Family was indeed worthy of being one of the three biggest families in the Eight Desolate Mountain; they were actually able to find so many sailors that fit his requirements in such a short amount of time.


    He asked for sailors that were at least at the early-stage True Lord Rank, and they couldn¡¯t be too old ¨C hopefully, below a hundred years old.


    Apart from that, Zhao Feng needed the sailors to be loyal, so the simpler the background they had, the better.


    The duration of service would be twenty years.


    Of course, Zhao Feng would give a heavy reward. The amount he would give every year would be several times greater than normal sailors.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng promised that, as long as they passed the one-year ¡°trial,¡± they would each receive a piece of an Earth-Grade weapon.


    Such rewards even made the Head of the Loulan Family click his tongue.


    Earth-Grade weapon pieces were precious even for the Loulan Family, yet all these sailors would receive one just by meeting Zhao Feng¡¯s requirements.


    ¡°These are just the rewards for the first couple years¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled. Hearing that, everyone was excited, but many were suspicious.


    ¡°Although the rewards are attractive, does he want us to become pirates?¡±


    Some people murmured.


    ¡°Hehe, that amount of rewards is enough for me to become a pirate anyways.¡±


    The majority of them were moved.


    ¡°I only need eight sailors. As for fighting, all of you are too weak.¡±


    Zhao Feng said emotionlessly.


    All he needed were sailors that could control the ship. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know how long the journey would be, but one thing was certain: most of his time on the ship would be spent on cultivating.


    Zhao Feng then started to pick the eight sailors while the Head of the Loulan Family and Loulan Zhishui watched with interest.


    As the list of eight sailors was almost decided and the picked ones were feeling joy:


    ¡°Family Head!¡±


    A figure hurried over and half-kneeled toward the Head of the Loulan Family.


    ¡°Hmm? Eight Desolate Sacred City Alliance¡­?¡±


    The Head of the Loulan Family took a special token and read the information inside.


    After reading the news, the Head of the Loulan Family¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he instinctively looked at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhishui!¡±


    The Head of the Loulan Family pulled his daughter to one side.


    ¡°Zhao Feng? Someone wanted by all three sects?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s face was covered in shock, and her eyelashes fluttered up and down.


    ¡°It¡¯s definitely him.¡±


    The Head of the Loulan Family took a drawing from the subordinate. On the drawing was a blue-haired youth, a skeleton, and a small cat.


    ¡°This¡­ how is this possible? How could he be related to the three sects?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui couldn¡¯t believe it.


    The blue-haired youth looked extremely similar to Zhao Feng, and he used a skeleton to the fight the pirates. The only difference was that the youth in front of them right now had normal-colored hair and normal eyes.


    ¡°Zhishui, this is something that only happens once in a thousand years, and the rewards the three sects are promising are enough to make the Loulan Family reach the sky¡­.¡±


    The voice of the Loulan Family Head trembled with excitement.


    The three sects ruled supreme in the Tianlu Islands, and they even affected dozens of islands nearby.


    As long as they could capture or kill Zhao Feng, the fate of the Loulan Family would be changed.


    ¡°Zhishui, I¡¯m going to go tell the previous Head of the Family and Old Huang. Do your best to stall that brat.¡±


    The Head of the Loulan Family ordered solemnly and took a deep breath, ¡°The rise or fall of the Loulan Family depends on you.¡±


    ¡°But¡­ Zhao Fan saved us.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui was unwilling.


    On one side was her family, and on the other was her savior.


    Loulan Zhishui returned to Zhao Feng with mixed emotions.


    ¡°Lady Zhishui, I¡¯ve chosen my eight sailors. I just need a butler and a vice-captain and it¡¯ll be perfect.¡±


    Zhao Feng seemed to be extremely satisfied.


    With the eight sailors to manage the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t need to worry about it anymore. Adding a vice-captain and butler was the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s idea.


    The skeletal Division Leader needed to craft ghost-corpses and cultivate as well; it couldn¡¯t always be the one taking care of the small matters for Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng obviously agreed to that idea. The skeletal Division Leader was one of the strongest forces by his side.


    At this moment, the sailors had entered the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, but Loulan Zhishui seemed to be troubled.


    ¡°Lady Loulan.¡±


    A firm hand patted her shoulder, and Loulan Zhishui¡¯s body trembled as she looked at the pair of calm and pure eyes.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter whether you¡¯re Zhao Fan or Zhao Feng, you saved my life. You should get away from the Eight Desolate Mountain.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui gritted her teeth and smiled bitterly.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically. There could be only one reason that Loulan Zhishui could call out his real name.


    ¡°Looks like I still underestimated the three sects.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed. He had been sent to the edge of the Tianlu Islands, so he thought that he wouldn¡¯t be recognized as long as he didn¡¯t stay too long.


    However, it was obvious that the three sects had other methods to send information to the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t go now, there won¡¯t be any time left.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s voice was full of panic as she pushed Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked at Loulan Zhishui once more and felt grateful.


    ¡°Get ready to leave.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately ordered the eight sailors.


    Hu~


    The gray metallic ship started to sail, but right at that moment:


    ¡°Brat, where do you think you¡¯re going~~~~!¡±


    An old voice caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to whistle as the aura of an Origin Core Realm appeared.


    ¡°Not good! It¡¯s the previous Head of the Family.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    At the same moment, a familiar Origin Core Realm aura appeared from within the Loulan Family. Zhao Feng could tell that this aura was from the injured Sovereign from before, Old Huang.


    Shua!


    Loulan Zhishui jumped onto the ship and grabbed Zhao Feng¡¯s elbow.


    ¡°Lady Loulan¡­ this¡­?¡±


    The smell of a girl passed through his nose.


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised. One of his arms was on Loulan Zhishui¡¯s neck, but he hadn¡¯t done anything.


    ¡°Take me hostage and run.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui said in an embarrassed tone.


    Zhao Feng finally understood what she did, and he couldn¡¯t believe her courage.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to do this¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head faintly, but he didn¡¯t reject her help.


    It would indeed be much easier to just take her ¡°hostage¡± and escape. After all, it wasn¡¯t a simple task to fight against two Sovereigns.


    Sou! Sou~~~


    The previous Head of the Loulan Family and the Sovereign elder in multi-colored clothes arrived.


    ¡°Put down Zhishui!¡±


    The Sovereign elder in multi-colored clothes shouted.


    ¡°Hmph, if anyone dares to come near me, I¡¯ll kill her.¡±


    Zhao Feng gripped Loulan Zhishui¡¯s neck, which made her face go red. It was hard to tell whether it was from being unable to breathe or from embarrassment.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    The previous Head of the Loulan Family and company exclaimed.


    Zhao Feng laughed as he flew through the air with Loulan Zhishui in hand.


    However, before Zhao Feng could even leave Eight Desolate Sacred City, another couple Sovereign auras approached.


    ¡°Previous Family Head, even if we don¡¯t attack, the other forces of Eight Desolate Sacred City will.¡±


    The expression of the Loulan Family Head kept changing.


    ¡°You mean¡­?¡±


    The eyes of the retired Head flashed.


    ¡°Instead of giving him to someone else, why don¡¯t we just do it ourselves? Giving up one daughter for the entire Loulan Family is a good deal.¡±


    Insanity appeared in the eyes of the Loulan Family Head.


    Thinking about the ¡°reward¡± the three sects promised, the eyes of the previous family head also become fiery hot, which replaced any hesitation or struggle.


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    The previous Head of the Family looked deeply toward the current Head of the Family and waved his hand. If the father could give up his own daughter, what more did the grandfather have to say?


    ¡°Everyone, kill Zhao Feng!¡±


    The previous Family Head and current Head of the Family charged toward Zhao Feng.


    Sou~~~


    At this moment in time, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was heading toward the limitless ocean.


    ¡°Lady Loulan¡­ your family doesn¡¯t seem to care about your life.¡±


    Zhao Feng was obviously quite surprised, and he let go of Loulan Zhishui.


    If the Loulan Family didn¡¯t care about her life, then Zhao Feng didn¡¯t to use her as a hostage anymore.


    ¡°Fa¡­ father¡­.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s face went pale-white with disappointment and extreme loneliness.


    Her body swayed as she stood on the deck. At this moment, her entire family, including her father, were charging over without caring about her life.


    ¡°You¡¯re still not leaving?¡±


    Zhao Feng gently pushed Loulan Zhishui.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going back.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui bit her lips so hard that blood started to flow.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you need a vice-captain? I can even be your maid or servant¡­ I don¡¯t need anything in return, just as long as you take me with you.¡±

 569 Slaying Sovereigns One After Another

    ¡°Okay, you can be my vice-captain for the time being.¡±


    Zhao Feng agreed. He was sympathetic toward her situation. If it weren¡¯t for him, none of this would¡¯ve happened to Loulan Zhishui.


    Furthermore, he believed in her, so he could relax if she took care of the small matters.


    There was now one vice-captain and eight sailors.


    Right at this moment:


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Three more auras at the Origin Core Realm charged over. There were also peak True Lord Ranks and half-step Origin Core Realms that followed ¨C all experts of the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    ¡°We can¡¯t let the other two families succeed.¡±


    The Head of the Loulan Family and the previous Family Head both started to panic and leapt toward the ship.


    Facing several Sovereign auras, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t panic. He slowly took out a black flag.


    ¡°You go inside and steer the ship toward the Thousand Flowing Islands.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered Loulan Zhishui to enter the ship.


    Shua!


    He waved the black flag and summoned the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Looking from afar, a thick, dense mist enveloped the ship, and no one could see what was inside.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The first round of attacks from the Loulan Family was weakened as it entered the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Zhao Feng stood in the middle of the array, safe and sound.


    Even the attack of someone as strong as the previous Head of the Loulan Family had barely manage to reach Zhao Feng and the ship.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array has sixty peak True Lord Rank cursed ghost-corpses and has absorbed the lives of countless beasts in the Purple Saint Ruins. The power of its curse has already exceeded the original Hundred Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s figure also appeared on deck.


    The strength of the array had surpassed their expectations, and that was mainly due to two reasons:


    Firstly, the strength of the ghost-corpses had increased by refining them with resources from the ruins. Each and every one of them had reached the peak True Lord Rank.


    Secondly, after sucking the blood essence and souls of countless beasts in the Purple Saint Ruins, the power of the curse managed to surpass the Forbidden Ground of a Hundred Graves. Countless True Spirit Realm beasts had died in the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°What a deadly array!¡±


    The Head of the Loulan Family, Old Huang, and company couldn¡¯t help but exclaim. Even the combination of two Sovereigns from the Loulan Family couldn¡¯t destroy the array.


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng continued to wave the flag, forming black snakes from the mist that engulfed everything within a one-mile radius.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    The nearby True Lord Ranks and half-step Origin Core Realms turned into a puddle of blood as they touched the mist.


    There were continuous screams of agony and despair.


    Everyone under the Origin Core Realm would die if they touched the mist.


    Wu~~


    After killing some experts, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array then absorbed their hatred, increasing in strength.


    ¡°Hmph. Don¡¯t force me to kill any more.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly. The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array could be used both offensively and defensively.


    ¡°Dammit!¡±


    The injured Sovereign elder with multi-colored clothes turned pale as the power of the curse eroded him. Normal Origin Core Realms would be heavily restrained by the power of the curse, and he was already injured.


    Plop!


    The elder with multi-colored clothes staggered and fell from the sky.


    ¡°Old Huang!¡±


    The Head of the Loulan Family used a piece of an Earth-Grade weapon to protect himself as he caught the Sovereign elder whose life or death was unknown.


    _My god!_


    He raised his head toward the sky with pain, regret, and hatred.


    At this moment in time, only the previous Head of the Loulan Family was fighting back against the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, but his expression was extremely ugly.


    Hu~


    More snakes formed and charged toward the previous Family Head, forcing him back.


    ¡°Nine Deadly Yin Bone!¡±


    A large, sharp, dark silver bone suddenly shot out from the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Whoosh~~~


    The Nine Deadly Yin Bone and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array complemented one another and drove the total power to an entirely new level.


    Wah!


    The previous Head of the Loulan Family spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying. In his chest was a small, bloody hole, and he started staggering.


    Even without the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array assisting it, the Nine Deadly Yin Bone wasn¡¯t something he could fight against.


    ¡°Looks like the three major families of the Eight Desolate Mountain are only so much¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed.


    If it weren¡¯t for Loulan Zhishui begging him, he would have taken their lives.


    Qiu~~~


    At this instant, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship broke through the thin outer layer of the Eight Desolate Mountain and was about to enter the ocean.


    Within their vision, the Eight Desolate Mountain became smaller and smaller, and eventually turned into a several-thousand-miles-wide mountain.


    Shu~~~~


    The moment they entered the ocean, the speed of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship sped up by more than ten times.


    The resistance in the air was extremely small, and everything was as light as a feather.


    ¡°Brat, don¡¯t run~~~!¡±


    Three more Sovereigns, who came from other families, charged out from the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    The cultivation of these three Sovereigns had reached the early-stage, middle-stage, and late-stage Small Origin Core Realm. The strongest one, with the cultivation of the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, was at least as strong as the Blue Lightning Pirate leader.


    ¡°Increase the speed.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t scared of fighting, but he focused on escaping.


    Within the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, Loulan Zhishui and company were raising the speed to its limit.


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was extremely fast and could reach the speeds of a normal Sovereign, but that would expend up to ten times more Primal Crystal Stones.


    Peng~~~~


    The three Sovereigns followed closely behind and launched a barrage of attacks.


    ¡°Master, should we take care of these three flies?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was getting impatient.


    ¡°It¡¯s best not to fight for too long. Let¡¯s wait until we¡¯re a bit further out.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a calm expression.


    The Eight Desolate Mountain wasn¡¯t small; if they stayed and fought near it, more and more experts would come, on top of the already-here three Small Origin Core Realms. If a couple more came, it would be troublesome.


    Furthermore, the Origin Core Realm was split into the Small Origin Core Realm and Great Origin Core Realm. If a Great Origin Core Realm came, it would be extremely dangerous.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, the battle-power of a Great Origin Core Realm was several times stronger than a Small Origin Core Realm. The difference was like the difference between a True Lord Rank and a Sovereign.


    Qiu~~~


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship became faster and faster, and it was now tens of thousands of miles away from the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going~~~!?¡±


    The three Sovereigns teamed up and unleashed a golden chain that wrapped itself around the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    The golden chain was a False Earth-Grade weapon.


    If one looked at the scene from afar, they would see a dark misty ball wrapped by a golden chain.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The sailors within the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship panicked. Even if the ship managed to move, they would be dragging the Sovereigns with them.


    ¡°Now!¡±


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader attacked without hesitation.


    Hu~


    The dark mist of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array turned into black snakes that leapt toward the three Sovereigns.


    ¡°Nine Deadly Yin Bone!¡±


    A large, dark silver spike blazed across the air.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s Earth-Grade weapon shot out almost at the same time as the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, creating a synergistic effect.


    Boom!


    The three Sovereigns weren¡¯t able to react in time. They had just teamed up and chained Zhao Feng¡¯s ship, but before they were even able to rejoice, the two counterattacked.


    The three Sovereigns were instantly eroded by the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array as the Nine Deadly Yin Bone clashed with them.


    Wah!


    The early-stage Small Origin Core Realm Sovereign spat out mouthfuls of blood, and part of his body was already rotting.


    Before they could even react to the current onslaught:


    ¡°Earth-Grade weapon ¨C Ice Imperial Spear!¡±


    A blue spear started to condense in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    Qiu~~


    The Ice Imperial Spear froze everything in its path.


    Siii!


    Frost appeared on the body of the three Sovereigns.


    Whoosh!


    The cold intent from the Ice Imperial Spear then proceeded to stab through the already-injured early-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    Wu~


    The Sovereign¡¯s body froze, then shattered into pieces with a ¡°crack.¡±


    He was stabbed by the true form of the Ice Imperial Spear; it was impossible for him to _not_ die.


    The expressions of the other two Sovereigns changed drastically.


    In just the blink of an eye, a Sovereign¡¯s life was taken, and the other two were still affected by the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Void Sky Yin Demonic Stab!¡±


    At almost the same time, the second Earth-Grade weapon whistled through the air.


    At this instant, the ice on the two Sovereigns¡¯ bodies still hadn¡¯t fully melted yet.


    Whoosh~~~~ Bam!


    The Nine Deadly Yin Bone pierced through another Sovereign with the help of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and it seemed to have even broken through space.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm Sovereign turned into a puddle of blood.


    Second Sovereign, dead.


    ¡°Go.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved the black flag and used the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to devour the blood essence and remaining souls of the two Sovereigns in order to strengthen the array.

 570 Great Origin Core Realm

    After devouring the blood essence and souls of the two Sovereigns, the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s curse became stronger.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The last Origin Core Realm was a middle-aged man clad in golden armor. He had the highest cultivation amongst the three chasing Sovereigns; he had reached the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, surpassing the skeletal Division Leader and on par with the Blue Lightning Pirate leader.


    However, at this moment, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was eroding him, and he was already injured from the two Earth-Grade weapons.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Zhao Feng waved the black flag, and the dark mist of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array turned into snakes that shot toward the middle-aged man in golden armor.


    ¡°Nine Deadly Yin Bone Stab!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader thrusted out its hand, and a burning bone-spike intertwined with the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    The combination of the two attacks surpassed the blow from before, as the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had absorbed the remaining souls and blood essence of the dead Sovereigns.


    ¡°Golden Chain Dragon Lock!¡±


    The middle-aged man pushed his True Force to create golden chains that bound the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and the ship.


    In just a short instant, the entire area was sealed by the Golden Chain Dragon Lock.


    Crack~~~~


    The next moment, the overwhelming power of Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader busted through the seal of the golden chains.


    Bam!


    The middle-aged armored man was sent flying, and blood leaked from his mouth.


    ¡°Golden Chain Dragon Lock¡­ what a profound secret technique!¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly shocked. As a late-stage Origin Core Realm cultivator, the man had access to some special techniques.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    The armored man no longer had any will to fight, so he ran in the direction of the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, every Sovereign we kill will help the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array a lot. If this Ghost Corpse Cursed Array is able to kill and devour a hundred Sovereigns, an overwhelming change might occur¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was filled with expectation, and it wasn¡¯t very willing to see the armored man run away.


    ¡°Our main task is to leave the Tianlu Islands.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was calm. He wasn¡¯t moved; although the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s suggestion was extremely tempting, Zhao Feng¡¯s identity had already been exposed, so the longer they were here, the more dangerous it was.


    Even if they managed to kill a couple more Sovereigns, they would still be infinitely small compared to three two-star sects. Furthermore, killing a late-stage Small Origin Core Realm wasn¡¯t exactly easy.


    Qiu~~~


    The middle-aged armored man was flying with shock on his face. If he hadn¡¯t reacted as quickly as he did, he would most likely have ended up like the other two Sovereigns.


    ¡°They both had Earth-Grade weapons, and even Sovereigns are affected by that array.¡±


    The golden-armored man realized that he lost fair and square.


    Earth-Grade weapons were extremely rare; only a small number of Sovereigns had complete Earth-Grade weapons. Furthermore, the ones those two had weren¡¯t just normal Earth-Grade weapons.


    Right at this moment:


    Hu~~


    An indescribable aura appeared in the limitless ocean. It caused the Yuan Qi within a thousand miles to gather, and it seemed like the only aura in the world.


    Crack!


    Under this aura, the limitless ocean didn¡¯t seem to be able to withstand the pressure and cracked.


    Shua!


    The misty limitless ocean suddenly became clear, and one could see for a couple hundred miles.


    ¡°This power¡­¡±


    The body of the golden-armored middle-aged man shook.


    An overwhelming source of energy flowed over.


    ¡°Head of the Jin Family.¡±


    A deep, ancient voice sounded from afar.


    ¡°Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord.¡±


    The golden-armored man held his breath and bowed in respect.


    The Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord was the strongest expert within the Eight Desolate Mountains; he had reached the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Across the entire Eight Desolate Mountain, only the leader of the ten great pirates could be compared to him.


    At this moment, the golden-armored middle-aged man was overjoyed, and he pointed out the direction of Zhao Feng¡¯s path to the Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord.


    ¡°I¡¯ll capture that brat very soon.¡±


    The Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord ¨C an elder wearing a black hat ¨C smiled and disappeared.


    Shua!


    A black figure flashed across the limitless ocean, travelling at twice the speed of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°Those two won¡¯t be able to escape from the Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord.¡±


    The golden-armored middle-aged man murmured confidently.


    At the same time, after the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship travelled more than two thousand miles:


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s mental energy felt a weird sensation. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi some distance away was giving off an unusual sensation.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Zhao Feng turned back and looked.


    The senses of the skeletal Division Leader surpassed normal Sovereigns.


    Miao miao!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and threw two old bronze coins into the air.


    ¡°Misfortune?¡±


    According to the little thieving cat, danger was approaching Zhao Feng.


    Seeing that, Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline, and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye looked toward the direction of the weird energy.


    Just using the enhanced vision of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye didn¡¯t use much energy.


    ¡°Who is this person?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded in Loulan Zhishui¡¯s mind.


    Shua!


    An old elder wearing a hat appeared in Loulan Zhishui¡¯s mind.


    Due to the fact that Zhao Feng had a deep comprehension of mental energy illusion techniques, he could easily recreate a scene of the real world.


    ¡°Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord!¡±


    Loulan Zhishui exclaimed and panicked.


    ¡°He¡¯s the strongest person in the Eight Desolate Mountain and has reached the Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui explained with fear.


    _Great Origin Core Realm._


    The expressions of both Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader changed drastically.


    ¡°Dive into the ocean.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered.


    Sou!


    The gray ship started to dive toward the depths of the ocean.


    Gulu!


    There were some air bubbles, then the gray ship entered the depths of the ocean.


    The biggest feature of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, apart from speed and defense, was its stealth and camouflage ability.


    ¡°Go deeper.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were sharp. He put the skeletal Division Leader in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl and went into one of the cabins of the ship.


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship then concealed its aura and seemed to become one with its surroundings.


    In the depths of the ocean, the ship continued to travel forward at a slow speed.


    A while later:


    Qiu~~~


    A roaring sound came from afar and blew away the mist, causing everything to become clear. Then, an overwhelming aura descended from the sky, and everything within two hundred miles trembled in fear.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed a Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    In the depths of the ocean, Zhao Feng and company felt the aura, which had definitely surpassed the Small Origin Core Realm.


    Shua!


    An old man wearing a black hat appeared and scanned the ocean with his powerful Spiritual Sense.


    At this moment, the gray ship was completely still and didn¡¯t dare to move one bit.


    One breath¡­ two breaths¡­ three breaths.


    Time passed extremely slowly at this moment.


    At a certain point in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye felt a faint mental energy sweep across them.


    Luckily, the limitless ocean was a unique existence that was extremely resilient toward mental energy and Spiritual Sense.


    The Spiritual Sense of the Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord was extremely weak when it reached the depths of the ocean, and the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship specialized in stealth, so its aura was one with its surroundings.


    Three breaths later, the overwhelming aura of the Great Origin Core Realm started to fade.


    Hu~~


    Everyone in the ship let out a long breath, and cold sweat had appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead. The pressure from the Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord was greater than any Sovereign he had ever seen.


    The Sovereigns he had seen were split into three tiers:


    The first was Patriarch Hong, the Mystic Ice Queen, etc. who were all normal Sovereigns.


    The second tier was Elder Shui Yun, the Blue Lightning Pirate leader, Sovereign Yu Xingchen, and company.


    And the third was this Great Origin Core Realm.


    His strength surpassed the other tiers, and he seemed to exist in harmony with the universe.


    ¡°Those with the title of ¡®Sovereign Lord¡¯ are usually Great Origin Core Realms.¡±


    Zhao Feng carefully used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to look outside, then cut off his bloodline power. He still didn¡¯t dare to use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to perform powerful attacks.


    ¡°He¡¯s gone.¡±


    After a short while, Zhao Feng confirmed that the Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord had left this area.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng slightly altered the route as he made Loulan Zhishui and company steer the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    At the beginning, their speed was extremely slow, but after four hours, Zhao Feng gave the order to speed up.


    Half a day later, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship had travelled hundreds of thousands of miles underwater.


    At this time, Zhao Feng and company were going at full speed.


    The material that comprised the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was extremely unique, so the ship¡¯s speed was even faster than normal half-step Origin Core Realms underwater.


    Three days later, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship had reached the borders of the ocean around the Eight Desolate Mountain. Going a bit further would mean entering the Thousand Flowing Islands.


    ¡°The Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord shouldn¡¯t be able to catch up now.¡±


    The hearts of everyone onboard felt safe now.


    Even the slightest difference in something as small as the angle meant they would head toward an entirely different destination. The limitless ocean was just too big; if one altered the course slightly, the difference between the intended destination and the actual destination would only become bigger and bigger.


    On the morning of the third day, a fierce Great Origin Core Realm aura surged from behind and charged straight toward the ship.

 571 Lord Hu Suo

    A powerful aura appeared in the air, causing the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to howl and everything within several thousand miles to tremble in fear.


    This force seemed to be one with the universe.


    ¡°What the¡­? How did he catch up?¡±


    Everyone within the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship could clearly feel the aura of a Great Origin Core Realm approaching, and this time, the aura was heading straight toward them.


    Wu~~


    The mist of the ocean started to fade away and was replaced by a green-and-blood-colored light. Everything within several dozen miles was instantly covered by this light, and the whole area seemed to become another world.


    In the depths of the ocean, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship stopped moving and concealed its aura once more.


    Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The hearts of all the sailors and Loulan Zhishui thumped.


    Within one of the cabins:


    ¡°We¡¯ve been spotted.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed and stood up.


    Hearing that, the hearts of everyone shook.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I know you¡¯re down there. Come out and die.¡±


    A cold, vengeful male¡¯s voice sounded from above.


    Zhao Feng and Loulan Zhishui both felt like this voice was familiar.


    Sou! Sou! Sou~~~


    Three Origin Core Realm auras stopped in the air above the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    The speaker was the Blue Lightning Pirate.


    Of the three Sovereigns, he stood on the left. On the right side was a black-faced, black-armored giant whose cultivation had reached the late-stage, verging-on-peak-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    The person in the middle was a one-armed bald man with green tattoos. The green-and-blood-colored light was coming from his body.


    He was a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.


    ¡°To be able to change the environment and nature itself¡­ so this is the Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    At this moment, Zhao Feng stopped blocking his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and saw the scenery on the surface of the ocean. He then put the images inside the minds of Loulan Zhishui and company.


    ¡°It¡¯s him! He¡¯s the pirate leader of the ten great pirates and the Pirate King of this part of the limitless ocean ¨C Lord Hu Suo!¡±


    Loulan Zhishui exclaimed.


    _Lord Hu Suo, the leader of the pirate alliance!_


    The hearts of the sailors shook, and they felt as if they were standing on a cliff.


    Plop!


    One or two of them even fell on their butts.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. The attitudes and characteristics of the sailors he chose weren¡¯t weak, so how famous was Lord Husuo? Just his name alone made them lose the will to fight.


    ¡°This part of the limitless ocean can be said to be his territory. He has been pillaging near the Eight Desolate Mountain for several hundred years, and apart from the three sects, he¡¯s not scared to plunder anyone else.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s voice trembled.


    At this moment, the pressure from the Great Origin Core Realm was becoming stronger and stronger.


    ¡°Get ready to fight.¡±


    Zhao Feng leapt onto the deck, and a black flag appeared in his hand.


    ¡°Great Origin Core Realm expert¡­. The Scarlet Moon Patriarch was only at that level.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said bitterly. It had personally witnessed the Patriarch¡¯s strength, and the pressure from Lord Hu Suo was only slightly weaker than the Scarlet Moon Patriarch.


    In the air:


    ¡°Lord Hu, let me go down and get rid of them.¡±


    The black-armored giant waved a black axe and revealed a gruesome expression. In terms of battle-strength, he was even slightly stronger than the Blue Lightning Pirate.


    ¡°No.¡±


    Lord Hu Suo spoke, ¡°You can kill everyone else, but that Zhao Feng has to be captured alive.¡±


    Thinking about the rewards the three sects were offering, even the emotionless Lord Hu Suo couldn¡¯t suppress his excitement.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Right at this moment, two figures broke through the surface of the water.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re very courageous. I¡¯m surprised that you dared to come out.¡±


    Lord Hu Suo was slightly surprised. The three pirates thought that Zhao Feng would be too scared to come out and hide in the ocean.


    ¡°You¡¯re indeed worthy of being the leader of the pirate alliance. I ran this far and you still managed to catch up.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his black flag and pretended to be extremely shocked.


    In reality, even though he still didn¡¯t know how they caught up to him, one thing was for certain: once a Great Origin Core Realm set their eyes on you, it would be hard to escape.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. I¡¯m the captain of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship and have been with it for over two hundred years and personally fixed it many times. We¡¯re already connected.¡±


    The Blue Lightning Pirate laughed, and Lord Hu Suo nodded his head, ¡°When a ship reaches a certain level, it will form a weak spirit and have a mysterious connection with its owner as long as they aren¡¯t too far away.¡±


    _So that¡¯s why._


    Zhao Feng finally understood.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t a secret, it¡¯s just common knowledge.¡±


    The black-armored giant said in disdain.


    _Common knowledge?_


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader looked at each other with ugly expressions. They weren¡¯t very experienced, and this was the first time Zhao Feng had even entered the outside world.


    It seemed like they lost because of ¡°common knowledge.¡±


    ¡°This Blue Lightning Pirate must die.¡±


    Killing intent surged in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart. Since he knew the reason now, there was no more need for talk.


    Shua!


    Sixty cursed ghost-corpses instantly appeared and formed a thick, dense black mist.


    Boom! Boom! Hu~


    Zhao Feng waved the black flag, and the power of the curse swept toward the three Sovereigns.


    In just a short moment, everything within several miles was engulfed by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Nine Deadly Yin Bone Stab!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader gritted its teeth and channeled its Earth-Grade weapon, sending a large dark silver spike toward the three enemies with the help of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Lord Hu Suo was slightly surprised.


    Pi! Pa!


    The Blue Lightning Pirate and the black-armored giant next to him were instantly forced to defend.


    The power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array exceeded their expectations, and the power of the curse eroded them from every angle. Even Sovereigns found it troublesome.


    The Nine Deadly Yin Bone Stab was also quite strong after being complemented by the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°This brat actually has so many tricks¡­.¡±


    The Blue Lightning Pirate hadn¡¯t recovered yet, and his blood essence was being continuously devoured.


    After just a couple exchanges, the Blue Lightning Pirate and the black-armored giant were put on the defensive.


    Only Lord Hu Suo with his Great Origin Core Realm cultivation was standing motionless. A layer of green-and-blood-colored light surrounded him, pushing away any power of the curse that came near him.


    That scene made the hearts of Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader feel solemn.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡±


    Lord Hu Suo¡¯s raspy voice sounded.


    Shua! Shua!


    The Blue Lightning Pirate and the black-armored giant revealed looks of joy and retreated, leaving a space for him.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Lord Hu Suo waved his palm.


    Wu~~


    Everything within several dozen miles was covered by the green-and-blood-colored light. Even space and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi were starting to change.


    Lord Hu Suo was like the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and he seemed able to turn the sun and moon around.


    Bam!


    The area seemed as if it were shaken by a beast as it started to tremble.


    In this instant, both Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader felt like ants fighting against an entire universe.


    Crack!


    The power of the curse was pushed back, and the mist of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array instantly broke apart.


    ¡°What a terrifying attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s blood churned as a small part of the attack hit him.


    ¡°You guys stall the brat. I¡¯ll kill the skeleton first.¡±


    Lord Hu Suo was extremely cautious. He was scared of accidentally injuring Zhao Feng.


    The rewards offered by the three sects attracted even him, and they wanted him alive.


    ¡°Brat, you probably don¡¯t even know how terrifying your enemy is.¡±


    The Blue Lightning Pirate mocked.


    ¡°Hehe¡­. This brat even dared to challenge a Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    The black-armored man¡¯s smile was full of disdain and mockery.


    At this moment, since the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was broken apart by Lord Hu Suo, Zhao Feng lost most of his protection.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t a match for two late-stage Small Origin Core Realms even though he had an Earth-Grade weapon. Luckily, the three Sovereigns were all scared of accidentally killing Zhao Feng, so they didn¡¯t go all-out.


    Boom!


    A large explosion came from the other side.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Save me!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader screamed as two green-and-blood-colored dragons appeared.


    Crack!


    Cracks started to appear on the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s bones.


    Zhao Feng was shocked. He didn¡¯t think that the skeletal Division Leader would lose so quickly. After the Nine Deadly Yin Bone merged into its body, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s defense rose dramatically, and it could take attacks from normal Sovereigns head-on.


    Furthermore, he cultivated the Dao of Bone Strengthening. If it were a normal Sovereign in its place, their body would have already been crushed.


    Crack!


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body was about to shatter.


    ¡°Looks like I can¡¯t hold back anymore¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. He was unable to deal with these two Sovereigns stalling him.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was slightly grim as his eye and hair both turned blue.

 572 Bridge of Death

    In the limitless ocean, both Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were in desperation. Lord Hu Suo¡¯s power seemed able to shift Heaven and Earth around.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Save me!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was about to crumble in front of Lord Hu Suo¡¯s might as it roared toward Zhao Feng. Its last bit of hope was with him.


    ¡°Who can save you? That brat can¡¯t even save himself.¡±


    Lord Hu Suo mocked as he froze the skeletal Division Leader in midair.


    In reality, Zhao Feng¡¯s situation wasn¡¯t much better. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they wanted to capture Zhao Feng alive, the attacks of the two Sovereigns wouldn¡¯t be so weak.


    ¡°Hmm? This brat¡¯s hair and eye color¡­¡±


    The black-armored giant was surprised. The hair and the left eye of the youth in front of him started to turn blue.


    ¡°Hehe, eye-bloodline?¡±


    The Blue Lightning Pirate smiled playfully and didn¡¯t put it to heart.


    At the moment, Zhao Feng had already lost the protection of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array; he was no longer a threat to the two late-stage Small Origin Core Realms.


    ¡°I¡¯ll kill _you_ first.¡±


    A shocking wave of energy flashed through Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, and a purple aura flashed across his eye.


    His left eye had locked on to the Blue Lightning Pirate.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    A stealthy ripple of eye-bloodline power extended across the Blue Lightning Pirate¡¯s body, and a whirlpool seemed to appear in the middle of this power.


    Shu~~~


    A sharp blade instantly sliced through the Blue Lightning Pirate¡¯s heart.


    Blood splattered, and then the blade continued to destroy the remaining lifeforce within the Blue Lightning Pirate¡¯s body.


    Wu~


    The Blue Lightning Pirate¡¯s body stopped moving, and puzzlement and fear appeared in his eyes.


    Plop!


    His blood-stained body fell from the air and into the ocean. As he died, the smile of victory was still frozen on his face.


    ¡°Number Seven!¡±


    The black-armored giant howled, but at the same time, his eyes were full of wariness, anger, and some type of fear of the unknown as he looked at Zhao Feng. How did the Blue Lightning Pirate die? He didn¡¯t even know.


    All the black-armored giant saw was that Zhao Feng just looked at the Blue Lightning Pirate ¨C a cultivator at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm ¨C and he was killed by a blade that appeared out of thin air.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Lord Hu Suo paused just as he had forced the skeletal Division Leader into a dead corner. Seeing the Blue Lightning Pirate¡¯s death, his heart jumped.


    ¡°Brat, what kind of secret technique did you use to kill Number Seven?¡±


    The black-armored giant was overrun by fear and hatred as he swung his black axe wildly at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was cold.


    Shua!


    A blade slashed through the black-armored giant¡¯s body.


    ¡°You¡­ you¡­¡±


    The black-armored giant struggled, and his eyes were full of fear and questioning.


    ¡°My armor is a piece of an Earth-Grade weapon and can block the attacks of normal Sovereigns head-on¡­.¡±


    The black-armored giant¡¯s mind was full of chaos before he died.


    He still didn¡¯t realize that Zhao Feng¡¯s strongest attack, the Void Space Eye Slash, used the Laws of Space to appear directly inside the opponent¡¯s body. No matter how strong one¡¯s defense was on the outside, it was completely useless; the heart was an essential organ, and it couldn¡¯t block the aura of Destruction.


    Plop!


    The lifeforce within the black-armored giant¡¯s body was destroyed, and he quickly followed the Blue Lightning Pirate¡¯s footsteps.


    In the blink of an eye, two Sovereigns had been instantly killed.


    Si!!


    Lord Hu Suo took in a cold breath. Even he didn¡¯t have the ability to kill two late-stage Small Origin Core Realms instantly.


    At this moment, Lord Hu Suo¡¯s face was covered with worry as he released the pressure on the skeletal Division Leader.


    Within the ship, Loulan Zhishui and company had open mouths. They couldn¡¯t even believe what was happening. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng had slain two Sovereigns.


    ¡°What kind of eye-bloodline is that¡­?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui couldn¡¯t suppress the shock in her heart, but she soon revealed a smile. She finally realized why the skeletal Division Leader was Zhao Feng¡¯s slave.


    _How could someone with a bounty from all three sects be simple¡­?_


    A thought flashed through Lord Hu Suo¡¯s mind before he suddenly felt a dangerous sensation.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline attack was used once more.


    _Not good!_


    Lord Hu Suo¡¯s powerful senses felt a disturbance in space.


    The Spatial Movement technique didn¡¯t utilize the Laws of Space proper, it relied more on the abilities of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. Therefore, the movement in space was stealthier than usual.


    _Dodge!_


    However, at the end of the day, Lord Hu Suo was still a Great Origin Core Realm expert; he left an afterimage behind as he dodged.


    Whoosh!


    Blood splattered; Lord Hu Suo wasn¡¯t able to completely dodge the attack. He wasn¡¯t like Grandmaster Yin Kong who specialized in the Laws of Space.


    ¡°Argh~~~~!¡±


    Lord Hu Suo roared as a small bloody hole appeared in his chest.


    ¡°Brat, you¡­!¡±


    Lord Hu Suo¡¯s face was pale-white. His heart was scraped by the Void Space Eye Slash, and the aura of Destruction was very intense.


    Luckily, he reacted in time and used True Force to protect his heart. However, the Void Space Eye Slash was a spatial attack, so it appeared directly from within his heart. Therefore, Lord Hu Suo¡¯s defensive methods only reduced the damage dealt instead of fully blocking it.


    ¡°There¡¯s still one more left.¡±


    Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and circulated his remaining eye-bloodline power with insanity. He seemed hell-bent on killing Lord Hu Suo, as if he didn¡¯t care about what would happen to himself in the process.


    ¡°Brat, stop!¡±


    Lord Hu Suo jumped up in fright and forcefully suppressed his injury.


    Qiu!


    A streak of green-and-blood-colored light flashed across the limitless ocean.


    Due to the fact that the resistance in the limitless ocean was extremely weak, one¡¯s flying speed could reach a terrifying velocity.


    ¡°He ran away?¡±


    ¡°Hahaha¡­! Even the great Lord Hu Suo had to run away!¡±


    The people within the ship broke out into chaos, and Loulan Zhishui¡¯s eyes started tearing up. She didn¡¯t know how to describe her happiness.


    ¡°Captain, if you had attacked once more and killed Lord Hu Suo, your name would become known across the limitless ocean.¡±


    ¡°Even just severely injuring Lord Hu Suo will make his name known.¡±


    Everyone discussed with admiration.


    Above the ocean:


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as cold sweat appeared on his forehead.


    In reality, even if he managed to use the fourth Void Space Eye Slash, it would have probably been hazardous for his well-being. Therefore, Zhao Feng only pretended that he would do everything in order to win. Zhao Feng knew that, if Lord Hu Suo didn¡¯t heal his injuries in time, he would lose his life, which meant he wouldn¡¯t want to clash with Zhao Feng head-on.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s guess was correct. Lord Hu Suo didn¡¯t want to play with his own life, and he needed to heal himself.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader.¡±


    Zhao Feng put the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array away, and he put the skeletal Division Leader into the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    Within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body was cracked, and some places were broken.


    Fortunately, it was back inside the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, allowing its cultivation and recovery speed to surpass that of the outside world.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng jumped onto the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    Gulu!


    The ship once again dove into the depths of the ocean and headed toward the Thousand Flowing Islands.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng sat down and focused on recovering. At the same time, he inspected the sixty cursed ghost-corpses. They were slightly damaged, so they would need some time to recover.


    It was fortunate that the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl helped Yin- and Death-type existences. Even if they didn¡¯t want to, anything within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl would become stronger.


    ¡°The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array turns all the cursed ghost-corpses into one entity, and every corpse takes on the same amount of pressure.¡±


    Zhao Feng realized that even the most severely injured had only lost arms or legs, which wasn¡¯t hard to repair.


    In the limitless ocean, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship¡¯s speed had reached its limit as it continued to pull further away from the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye had become black again.


    ¡°We¡¯ve finally escaped danger, but¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that the threat from the three sects was becoming smaller and smaller, but at the same time, a surge of uneasiness came from the bottom of his heart.


    The aura of Death was surging once again. The moment he used the Void Space Eye Slash, the aura of Death was several times stronger than before.


    _¡°Zhao Feng, it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t use your eye-bloodline. Every time you do, it will strengthen the connection between you and the Emperor of Death.¡±_


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s warning resounded through his mind.


    Thinking up to there, Zhao Feng sighed. He didn¡¯t want to use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye if he didn¡¯t need to.


    In a far, far away place in the limitless ocean.


    ¡°The ninth God¡¯s Eye¡­ you¡¯ve finally appeared?¡±


    A mysterious voice sounded across the soul dimension, and it represented the will of death.


    Immediately afterward:


    ¡°Bridge¡­ of¡­ Death!¡±


    A shocking intent of Death burned across the Heaven and Earth as it passed through the limitless ocean.


    In that instant, everything within ten thousand miles fell into darkness.


    Only a couple powerful beings could sense this disturbance.


    Within the darkness, a black bird screeched before an ancient palace of death:


    ¡°The Emperor of Death sends for the Four Death Spirit Lords and the thirty-six Death Guards.¡±

 573 Three Spiritual Sacred Lands

    ¡°The Emperor of Death sends for the Four Death Spirit Lords and the thirty-six Death Guards.¡±


    A black Yin Shadow Bird screeched in front of an ancient palace of death. At the same time, the aura of Death dimmed.


    ¡°Bridge of Death? Master¡¯s actually used such a long-range secret technique to send his will toward the Cang Ocean.¡±


    A warm male youth sounded.


    A tall male and short female were walking toward the palace. The male was a warm youth who stood out in front of the gloomy palace of death. The other figure was an eight- or nine-year-old girl.


    The little girl¡¯s face was as white as snow, but what was more incredible was that she had no cultivation. Her eyes were also pale-white.


    In front of the ancient palace, the warm youth and the white-eyed little girl standing together made the scene even weirder.


    ¡°Master¡­ is very tired¡­.¡±


    The white-eyed girl looked toward the depths of the ancient palace.


    The ancient palace had a powerful aura of Death that blocked all types of mental energy and senses.


    ¡°Tired? Of course.¡±


    The warm youth smiled and didn¡¯t seem to be impatient, ¡°You haven¡¯t been in the outside world for long, so you don¡¯t know how big the Cang Ocean is. Each of the three Spiritual Sacred Lands control hundreds of island zones, and each of these island zones have dozens of islands like your so-called ¡®Nine Destiny Continent.¡¯¡±


    The white-eyed little girl looked at the bright and warm youth, only half-understanding what he was saying.


    ¡°Uh¡­ I forgot that you don¡¯t even know what the Consolidated Realm, Ascended Realm, and True Spirit Realm are¡­.¡±


    The warm youth felt slightly awkward. The little girl in front of him was like a blank piece of white paper that knew nothing.


    A while later, a surge of powerful dark auras approached the ancient palace.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Each of these auras were twice as strong as Lord Hu Suo or the Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord.


    A small number of them were even stronger than the three Void God Realms outside the Purple Saint Ruins.


    ¡°Hmm? That¡¯s weird. Why did Master summon all four Death Spirit Lords and thirty-six Death Guards at once?¡±


    The warm youth murmured.


    More and more figures started to gather in front of the ancient palace and, within an hour, all four Death Spirit Lords and thirty-six Death Guards were assembled.


    The four Death Spirit Lords stood at the very front and were like glowing lights. No one could clearly see them. At best, one could only tell they were comprised of three males and one female.


    Behind the four Death Spirit Lords were the thirty-six Death Guards. Each of these thirty-six Death Guards had black cloaks and were emotionless.


    ¡°Keke.¡±


    The white-eyed girl let out a laugh as she saw these powerful beings.


    Shhhh!


    The warm youth grabbed her arm and spoke in a low tone, ¡°Junior Martial Sister, those four Death Spirit Lords are all Void God Realms, and the thirty-six Death Guards are elites among the Great Origin Core Realm. Normal Great Origin Core Realms are slaughtered like babies at their hands¡­.¡±


    The expressions of countless forces in the Cang Ocean would change when they talked about the four Death Spirit Lords and the thirty-six Death Guards under the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Those four Death Spirit Lords and thirty-six Death Guards have crushed several two-star sects before. A two-star sect¡­ Junior Martial Sister, are you not scared?¡±


    The warm youth murmured for a long time.


    ¡°Keke.¡±


    The little girl kept on laughing. Maybe in her eyes, she didn¡¯t even know how forces were ranked.


    Sigh.


    The warm youth sighed. He talked for so long, but everything he said was completely useless.


    ¡°Hmmlalala¡­.¡±


    The white-eyed little girl started to sing and jump around the four Death Spirit Lords.


    _Stop!_


    The warm youth jumped up in fright. Those were four Void God Realm Kings; how could she be so disrespectful?


    ¡°This little girl must be the disciple that the Emperor took in recently.¡±


    A blurry, echoing voice sounded amongst the four Death Spirit Lords.


    ¡°It¡¯s very weird. After the Emperor took her in as his disciple, he didn¡¯t teach her anything at all. She¡¯s still at the Consolidated Realm, and that¡¯s after eating a sacred pill.¡±


    The four Death Spirit Lords gazed at the little white-eyed girl and discussed in private.


    If it were a normal girl that dared to hop around and annoy these Void God Realms, they would be courting death. However, this little girl was the disciple of the Emperor.


    ¡°Come in¡­.¡±


    A weak voice sounded from within the ancient palace. However, even though it was weak, it caused the hearts of the four Death Spirit Lords to shake.


    A while later:


    ¡°Greetings, Master.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Emperor of Death.¡±


    Everyone entered the palace, including the youth and the little girl.


    A black throne floated in the air within the depths of the ancient palace, and a tall, blurry figure sat on the throne. Only a dark golden crown could be seen.


    No one present, including the four Death Spirit Lords, could see the face of the Emperor of Death with their naked eye.


    ¡°Keke¡­. Master, can Senior Martial Brother and I go out and play?¡±


    The white-eyed little eye laughed as she looked at the Emperor of Death.


    The warm youth couldn¡¯t help but sweat for her.


    Their Master was the Emperor of Death ¨C the nightmare of so many people.


    Even as his disciple, he was afraid. Even the four Death Spirit Lords were respectful.


    ¡°Bai Lin, your wish will be granted very soon, but apart from playing, you need to help your Third Martial Brother with a mission.¡±


    The voice from the throne was unusually warm and seemed to be playing with her.


    The expressions of the four Death Spirit Lords became weird. In their eyes, the Emperor of Death had never been like this before.


    ¡°Emperor¡­ you mean that we need her help on this mission?¡±


    One of the Death Spirit Lords didn¡¯t understand.


    ¡°Maybe.¡±


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s weak voice didn¡¯t seem to be sure either. The white-eyed little girl was a unique existence, and even he didn¡¯t know some of her powers.


    ¡°Master, why did you use the Bridge of Death to summon all of us? What kind of mission is it?¡±


    The warm youth asked.


    Hearing that, all the powerful auras awaited the answer.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, are we going to destroy another two-star sect? Or attack some kind of ancient inheritance?¡±


    Many people guessed.


    ¡°This mission is quite unique. I need you to capture a person alive, but if you can¡¯t, at least make sure the corpse is whole.¡±


    The Emperor of Death replied.


    _Capture someone alive?_


    The four Death Spirit Lords looked at each other. What kind of person needed all four Death Spirit Lords?


    ¡°Due to the fact that I used the Bridge of Death, I will sleep for a couple years to recover. That¡¯s why I need you all to do this. This person is unique and has infinite potential. Don¡¯t underestimate him¡­.¡±


    The Emperor of Death warned.


    ¡°May I ask where that person is?¡±


    The warm youth asked.


    ¡°That is the biggest problem. That person will definitely be hiding, but luckily, he revealed some traces not long ago, thus resulting in me using the Bridge of Death to confirm his general location.¡±


    When the Emperor of Death spoke up to there, a map of the Cang Ocean appeared.


    The Cang Ocean had three main Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    ¡°True Martial Sacred Land, Floating Dreams Sacred Land, Ten Thousand Woods Sacred Land¡­.¡±


    The warm youth¡¯s eyes gazed over the three places with admiration and expectation. The three Spiritual Sacred Lands were apparently the only places in the Cang Ocean where there were three-star sects.


    Even the Emperor of Death was respectful toward the three Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    ¡°The area you¡¯re searching for is in the southeast direction of the True Martial Sacred Land, within these dozens of island zones.¡±


    The Emperor of Death pointed toward a very small area.


    These dozens of island zones weren¡¯t even one one-hundredth of the Cang Ocean, but the eyebrows of all four Death Spirit Lords and the warm youth still furrowed. Each island zone was extremely big and had cities similar to the Eight Desolate Mountain around it.


    Furthermore, the actual land was only a speck compared to the ocean.


    The distance between each zone was extremely large. From that, one could see that calculating Zhao Feng¡¯s position would be extremely hard.


    ¡°The area is quite big.¡±


    The Emperor of Death agreed before speaking again, ¡°However, each of you have a unique Token of Death. Although that person has suppressed the aura to its minimum, you will still be able to sense it as long as you are nearby.¡±


    __


    _So that¡¯s how it is._


    Everyone understood. With their Token of Death, they could sense the person within a certain range, thus reducing the difficulty by a hundred times. At least it wouldn¡¯t be trying to find a needle in the ocean.


    ¡°Leave today.¡±


    The Emperor of Death talked about some other matters before deciding.


    Huang!


    The gate of the ancient palace closed.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The four Death Spirit Lords led the Death Guards and flew away.


    Amongst them were the warm youth and white-eyed little girl.


    The four Death Spirit Lords didn¡¯t understand why the Emperor of Death would send this little girl, who had no battle-power at all, to help them.


    ¡°Only those with God Eyes can fight God Eyes.¡±


    A black whirlpool appeared in the Emperor of Death¡¯s eyes as the gate of the ancient palace slammed shut.

 574 Scouting the Ancient Dream Realm Once More

    In the limitless ocean, around the edges of the Tianlu Islands, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship travelled further and further away from the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin:


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye started to thump in warning. The aura from the Eye of Death within the depths of his left eye surged.


    Zhao Feng felt that the pressure and danger inside his soul had become clearer, and he could only sigh.


    If he didn¡¯t use the Void Space Eye Slash, he wouldn¡¯t have been sensed by the Emperor of Death. It could be imagined that the Emperor of Death must have tried to track Zhao Feng immediately.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t regret his decision. Without using his strongest attack, the skeletal Division Leader and he were nothing against Lord Hu Suo.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s injuries within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl. Many of its bones were broken, and cracks had spread across its body.


    ¡°Luckily, Master saved me in time, so I¡¯m only physically injured. My foundation and core are safe. Now that the Nine Deadly Yin Bone has merged with me, I can recover within two months inside the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said gratefully.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Luckily, the skeletal Division Leader cultivated the Dao of Bone Strengthening, so it was extremely tough.


    If it were a normal Sovereign in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s place, they wouldn¡¯t have even been able to last half as long as it did.


    In the blink of an eye, two or three months passed.


    Zhao Feng spent most of his time in cultivation. That was one of the benefits of having a ship; during the journey, one could spend their time cultivating instead of flying.


    ¡°Zhishui, where are we?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded in Loulan Zhishui¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Captain.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui bowed toward the direction of the Captain¡¯s cabin. The Captain was the leader of the ship, and ever since Zhao Feng severely injured Lord Hu Suo, all the sailors were grateful to and curious about the Captain.


    ¡°Where are we?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked once more. He had spent the last few months cultivating and didn¡¯t pay any attention to the outside world.


    ¡°Captain, we have just entered the outer boundary of the Thousand Flowing Islands.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui said.


    ¡°Just entered the outer boundary?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    They spent two or three months just to exit the Tianlu Islands and enter the Thousand Flowing Islands. They were far slower than he expected. If they continued at this rate, who knew when they would reach the territory of the Floating Dream Sacred Land?


    Zhao Feng looked at the map of the Cang Ocean.


    The Cang Ocean had three large Spiritual Sacred Lands, and they were currently in the territory of the True Martial Sacred Land.


    The Azure Flower Continent belonged to the Azure Islands, which were in the territory of the Tianlu Island Zone. The Tianlu Island Zone and the Thousand Flowing Island Zone were both within the True Martial Sacred Land¡¯s territory.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, the True Martial Sacred Land controlled several hundred zones just like the Tianlu Island Zone. From this, one could see how far it was from one Spiritual Sacred Land to another.


    ¡°Captain, because we¡¯ve been hiding in the depths of the ocean, our speed is much slower. The difference can be up to ten times. On top of that, we¡¯ve been going around powerful beasts. The ship has already been attacked many times.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui explained.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng started to think. The resistance within the ocean was greater than he expected, and they needed to go out of their way many times.


    Luckily, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was one of the best ships around the Eight Desolate Mountain; its defenses could take several hits from a normal Sovereign, and it was extremely stealthy.


    But even then, it wasn¡¯t possible for the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship to travel freely in the ocean.


    There were more than just a few beasts in the ocean that had reached the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°The surface of the ship has been damaged to various degrees. If this continues, the speed will decrease and the safety of the sailors will be in jeopardy.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui reported.


    ¡°What¡¯s your suggestion then?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but rub his forehead. Things weren¡¯t as easy as he thought.


    ¡°I think that we should fly in the air instead. The resistance of the air is much smaller than the ocean itself, and the chances of meeting beasts are much lower.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui suggested, and Zhao Feng had to admit that she had thought about it logically.


    However:


    ¡°No.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately shook his head and denied it.


    ¡°Why¡­?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui didn¡¯t understand. What she said was extremely logical.


    Now that they had entered a new island zone, the threat posed by the three sects and the Eight Desolate Mountain was much smaller, so they should be able to increase their speed.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to question why. As for the damage to the ship, just try to fix it.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t explain. The true danger they were facing now was the Emperor of Death, not the three sects.


    Because the connection between the scorpion and him had been broken, the three sects couldn¡¯t sense him anymore. However, the situation with the Emperor of Death was different. He had some method that could sense the aura within Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    ¡°The limitless ocean has the ability to restrict Spiritual Sense; it¡¯s a natural barrier.¡±


    Zhao Feng had his own thoughts. Between speed and safety, Zhao Feng chose the latter without hesitation.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s wisp of consciousness entered the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl. After these few months, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s injuries had recovered, and faster than expected too.


    Not only had the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s injuries healed, it was able to focus on the Hundred Corpse plan.


    ¡°Master, seventy-five corpses have now been refined.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice had a tinge of joy to it, and the news also made Zhao Feng happy.


    Seventy-five. The finish line was slowly approaching.


    Each cursed ghost-corpse was at least at the peak True Lord Rank, and after devouring so many beasts and Sovereign essences, the power of the curse had exceeded the original curse from the Forbidden Ground of a Hundred Graves.


    The Forbidden Ground of a Hundred Graves was just the hatred formed from slaughtering a hundred True Lord Ranks, while Zhao Feng¡¯s Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had absorbed the essence of Sovereigns.


    According to the skeletal Division Leader, once the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array devoured a hundred Sovereigns, its strength would increase by leaps and bounds.


    ¡°Keep going.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and took back his consciousness.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng closed his eyes once more. His comprehension and cultivation had increased steadily over the last two or three months.


    He was closing in on the peak True Lord Rank, but he wouldn¡¯t be able to break through within a short amount of time.


    Furthermore, it would be hard for his cultivation to break through in the limitless ocean where there wasn¡¯t much Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    _Let¡¯s go to that place._


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Shua!


    His consciousness entered the dimension of his left eye. Inside, the lake had expanded to around twenty-seven yards.


    In the middle of the lake was a mysterious whirlpool.


    Di! Da!


    A faint ancient aura came out of the mysterious whirlpool, and Zhao Feng carefully put his consciousness into it.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind went black and, like last time, entered a dreamy state.


    ¡°Ancient Dream Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng arrived on a desolate piece of land.


    This piece of land was extremely old. There were no signs of construction anywhere, and just standing here made Zhao Feng¡¯s soul feel pressured.


    ¡°This Ancient Dream Realm is extremely different from reality. Everything is so old and simple¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here. The ancient aura released from the dimension of his left eye originated from here.


    Every speck of dust and sand contained unfathomable power.


    _Continue._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body and soul were facing limitless pressure every moment.


    Half a breath¡­ one breath¡­ two breaths.


    Zhao Fen used his will to face the pressure.


    He remembered that, last time, he only managed to stay here for three breaths, but this time, he was ready to face the pressure.


    Wu~


    Zhao Feng felt his body contort in pain. His bones were screeching, and his blood was facing the aura of this world.


    The more Zhao Feng fought back, the stronger the force from this ancient world.


    The only part of his body that wasn¡¯t pressured was his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye reduced the pressure from this world and made it so that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t an ¡°outsider,¡± otherwise he would explode and die even if he was ten times stronger.


    Two breaths¡­ three breaths¡­ four breaths.


    Zhao Feng felt that his body was reaching its limit.


    Finally, at four and a half breaths, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t continue anymore.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and his mind went black.


    Hu~~


    The instant before he disappeared, Zhao Feng sucked in a breath of the ancient aura.


    In the next moment, in the captain¡¯s cabin, in the depths of the limitless ocean:


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and wiped the blood from his lips.


    The damage from the Ancient Dream Realm appeared in reality as well. He experienced this last time as well.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly felt the ancient aura in his body slowly spread out.


    As it did, his body and soul were healed.


    Di! Da!


    The bloodline power in his body seemed to be a drought-ridden land absorbing water after a rainfall.

 575 Whale

    The last breath he took in the Ancient Dream Realm was now spreading through his body.


    Incredibly, this ancient aura strengthened his body and soul.


    ¡°This¡­. The damage taken within the Ancient Dream Realm is reflected in reality. Items within it can be taken out as well?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind was blown.


    Although the Ancient Dream Realm seemed extremely realistic, Zhao Feng had only entered with his consciousness. From his point of view, it was basically an illusion.


    However, the result was incredible. Zhao Feng realized that the Ancient Dream Realm wasn¡¯t just a simple mental energy world.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and started to absorb part of the ancient aura that seeped out.


    After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s body couldn¡¯t fully absorb the aura, so the remaining part was absorbed by the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat seemed to be extremely excited after absorbing the ancient aura.


    ¡°This aura seems to help me a lot.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes.


    Firstly, his bloodline seemed to have been cleansed and strengthened. This usually only happened when someone had a qualitative breakthrough. For example, from the Ascended Realm to the True Spirit Realm, one¡¯s state of existence would change.


    ¡°My body and bloodline have both become stronger.¡±


    Zhao Feng gently punched and felt that his body was more powerful than before.


    The most obvious change was his bloodline power. The aura of his bloodline was purer now, and it even had signs of ¡°tracing back to its ancestor.¡±


    Bo~


    A ripple of water surrounded Zhao Feng and the energy was purer than ever.


    ¡°An aura from the ancient era¡­.¡±


    The Ice Imperial Spear trembled slightly, and the coldness sealed within it started to awaken. Zhao Feng seemed to hear a voice. This was probably the weapon spirit within the Earth-Grade inheritance weapon.


    Earth-Grade weapons were items only below the Heaven-Grade, and it wasn¡¯t rare for them to have spirits.


    ¡°The Ice Imperial Spear is slightly incomplete, but it seems to have recovered and strengthened a bit now.¡±


    Zhao Feng found that the Ice Imperial Spear could also absorb a wisp of the ancient aura from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Such changes made Zhao Feng surprised and overjoyed.


    Just a tiny breath from the Ancient Dream Realm had so many uses. The little thieving cat, his Earth-Grade weapon, and Zhao Feng himself all benefited from it.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng¡¯s injuries were healed, and he entered the Ancient Dream Realm once more.


    This time, Zhao Feng managed to last five breaths, and within those five breaths, Zhao Feng absorbed twice as much ancient aura than before.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng tried his best to fully absorb it.


    This aura upgraded the attributes of his body and seemed to change his very state of being. His bloodline power also became purer.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on Zhao Feng and quickly absorbed the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    ¡°Source of True Spirit!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up as he made some of the Ancient Dream Realm aura enter his Source of True Spirit.


    He was once again surprised. When his Source of True Spirit absorbed the ancient aura, Zhao Feng¡¯s power of Wind Lightning, including the Purple Destruction Lightning, was cleansed and became purer.


    Of course, these increases were all very miniscule and could only be sensed when one focused. However, Zhao Feng was still overjoyed. This aura was extremely effective for everything.


    Like this, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm three more times, and the maximum amount of time he lasted was eight breaths.


    Of course, the longer he stayed in, the more serious his injuries and the longer he would need to recover.


    Three times later, Zhao Feng¡¯s body and bloodline had strengthened dramatically.


    He felt that every inch of his body contained immense power, and, within just a short month, his body was comparable to some Sovereigns.


    His Source of True Spirit became purer as well.


    ¡°If this continues, I¡¯ll be able to break through to the peak True Lord Rank soon.¡±


    Zhao Feng was full of expectation. Due to the fact that his mental energy level had already reached the level of a Sovereign, once he reached the peak True Lord Rank, he would instantly ascend to the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    Sou~~ Di! Da!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship passed through the ocean like a fish.


    Boom~~~~


    At a certain moment in time, an enormous and powerful aura appeared in front of the ship.


    ¡°Not good, there seems to be a very strong beast in front of us.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui sent commands to the sailors in the control room, and Zhao Feng was also disturbed.


    The aura ahead was stronger than most Sovereigns, and from the sound of it, it seemed to be a large animal.


    ¡°Let me see.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Shua!


    An enormous whale several miles wide came into view.


    This whale was definitely the largest animal Zhao Feng had ever seen. Just by splashing around, it could create dozen-mile-wide waves that could flood cities.


    ¡°This is one of the biggest animals in the ocean ¨C the limitless ocean whale!¡±


    Loulan Zhishui exclaimed and her face went white as she saw the image that Zhao Feng sent her.


    ¡°Limitless ocean whale? The legendary beast? Apparently, when it¡¯s mature, it¡¯s battle-power is at least comparable to a Sovereign.¡±


    The sailors in the ship were shocked and quickly cooperated with Loulan Zhishui.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng sealed the power of his eye once more and his expression became solemn.


    The limitless ocean whale was far too big, and its lifeforce was extremely strong. Even Sovereigns couldn¡¯t deal with it.


    ¡°Go around it, quick!¡±


    Loulan Zhishui and the sailors tried their best to evade the area.


    Boom~~~ Boom~~~~


    The whale surged over and its body created deep thuds.


    In front of this whale, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was just a tiny dot.


    Peng~


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was tossed around in the ocean, and everyone on the ship lost their balance.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader!¡±


    Zhao Feng roared.


    ¡°Yes, Master.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader appeared and blocked a wave in front of them. This wave was enough to kill normal True Lord Ranks, but the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s bones were extremely tough after merging with the Nine Deadly Yin Bone, so it could block the head-on attacks of Sovereigns.


    ¡°Set the formation!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag and the power of the curse started spreading.


    Hu~~


    Over eighty ghost-corpses appeared in the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and the power of the curse had reached an incredulous level.


    In the blink of an eye:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The power of the curse turned into hundred-yard-long snakes and dragons that attacked the limitless ocean whale.


    Shu~~~~


    Even something as strong as the limitless ocean whale had its lifeforce depleted as it was eroded by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Wu~~


    The limitless ocean whale roared and shook the ocean.


    ¡°What strong lifeforce! Even a normal Small Origin Core Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to last ten breaths against the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned. The limitless ocean whale was enormous, and its lifeforce was countless times stronger than other Sovereigns.


    In terms of battle-power, several normal Sovereigns definitely wouldn¡¯t be its match.


    Pi! Pa! Boom~~~~


    The skeletal Division Leader used the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array mainly to protect the ship as it fought with the limitless ocean whale.


    At the beginning, the skeletal Division Leader had no advantage at all, but as time passed, the limitless ocean whale¡¯s lifeforce kept being eroded and absorbed by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    An hour later, the several-mile-wide whale was severely weak and couldn¡¯t fight back against the skeletal Division Leader anymore.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­. Eating this big blockhead is much better than devouring several Sovereigns.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag. At this moment in time, blood started to seep out of the whale¡¯s enormous body, and its body was becoming skin and bones.


    When the sailors within the ship saw this, they felt a chill in their bones.


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had reached a terrifying level.


    ¡°Eighty-two cursed ghost-corpses.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Boom~~~ Boom~~~ Boom~~~


    Right at this moment, roars and enormous splashes sounded one after another.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye twitched.


    _Not good!_


    The skeletal Division Leader felt a huge surge of auras, none of them any weaker than the whale in front of them.


    One¡­ two¡­ three¡­


    In just a short moment, the skeletal Division Leader sensed almost ten limitless ocean whales, and the number was still increasing, causing it to jump up in fright.


    One had to know that the battle-power of each whale was comparable to the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, and they were extremely hard to kill.


    ¡°Retreat! We¡¯ve probably met a horde of them.¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    The skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t dare to fight anymore. It immediately put away the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Gulu~~


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship travelled at its fastest speed as it charged toward the surface.


    ¡°As long as we leave the ocean, we¡¯ll be safe.¡±


    Zhao Feng and company all knew this. The ocean was the whales¡¯ territory, and the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship could travel faster in the sky.


    Bam! Bam!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship took on the brunt of a couple attacks.


    More than a dozen enormous figures closed in on the tiny ship.


    Sou!


    In the nick of time, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship dodged the mouths of several whales and managed to enter the air.

 576 Devoured

    Sou!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship pushed aside the water and sped into the air.


    Boom! Boom! Boom~~~


    Several whales jumped out behind them, just barely missing the ship.


    The closest one was only several yards away from devouring the small ship.


    Sou~~~


    As the ship entered the air, it slowly pulled further and further away from the limitless ocean whales. The whales had the advantage in the ocean, but the sky wasn¡¯t their territory.


    More than a dozen whales followed them into the air, but they couldn¡¯t catch up to the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    Hu~


    Everyone on the ship let out a breath.


    ¡°Since we¡¯ve entered the air, the whales won¡¯t be able to catch up now.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui and company all started to relax.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were able to face one or two whales, but an entire group of them was too terrifying.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that we¡¯d be able to see the legendary limitless ocean whales.¡±


    ¡°According to the legends, the whales are enormous, and the most precious part of their body is their heart blood essence.¡±


    ¡°Heart blood essence?¡±


    The sailors discussed with excited expressions as they looked at a couple whales still chasing them.


    Hearing them talk, Zhao Feng also revealed a look of interest.


    In terms of lifeforce, a mature limitless ocean whale was even stronger than the Towering Tree Yao.


    Thinking back to the benefits that the Towering Tree Yao brought Zhao Feng, the value of the limitless ocean whales was immeasurable.


    ¡°The heart blood essence is the blood essence within the depths of the whale¡¯s heart, and when one bathes in it, it has the ability to raise one¡¯s state of existence. It¡¯s extremely effective for those at the True Lord Rank, and it can even affect a Sovereign.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui explained the effect of the limitless ocean whales¡¯ heart blood essence to Zhao Feng, and his eyes became fiery hot as he looked at the whales behind them.


    Just thinking about how large and powerful one of those whales were, how strong would their hearts be?


    Their heart blood essence was the equivalent of what the Wood Spirit Essence Soul was to the Towering Tree Yao.


    The difference between them was that the Wood Spirit Essence Soul helped one¡¯s soul whereas the heart blood essence helped cultivation and state of being.


    ¡°The power of my soul and mental energy have both reached the Origin Core Realm. The only thing I¡¯m lacking is my cultivation.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart thumped.


    The heart blood essence was extremely tempting. It was perfect for him.


    ¡°Slow down a little bit.¡±


    Zhao Feng decided. If the ship flew too fast, the whales would be shaken off.


    Loulan Zhishui understood Zhao Feng¡¯s intentions and carefully decreased the ship¡¯s speed.


    At the moment, there were still four or five whales still chasing behind the ship.


    ¡°After throwing off two or three more and leaving only one or two behind, we can think about attacking them.¡±


    Zhao Feng used his Spiritual Sense to detect the situation behind.


    Ever since the incident with the Eye of Death, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to easily use the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s inspection abilities, so he usually used Spiritual Sense instead.


    Although Spiritual Sense wasn¡¯t as precise as the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, it was what most cultivators used.


    As time passed:


    Sou!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship maintained a certain amount of distance between the whales.


    An hour later:


    ¡°Captain, these whales are slightly intelligent and are all bunched up with each another.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui said.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. He noticed that as well.


    A mature whale could be defeated by the skeletal Division Leader and him, but two whales would be troublesome.


    Even a Great Origin Core Realm would retreat from four or five whales.


    Right at this moment:


    Wu~~


    A low roar came from the ocean nearby.


    ¡°What¡¯s that sound?¡±


    The sailors within the ship felt their blood toss and turn, and they were unable to stand steadily.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. His body became heavy, and he felt a dangerous sensation from the deep roar.


    Boom~~~~


    Just as he was about to use his Spiritual Sense to detect what was happening below, there was suddenly an unstoppable suction that came from the ocean.


    ¡°Not good! Run!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Spiritual Sense caught sight of an enormous whale. The black mouth alone was enough to devour a small mountain.


    The sailors felt unable to breathe.


    Wu~


    The aura from this animal even sucked in the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby.


    Sou~


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship did its best to fly away, but the mouth widened and inhaled even more, decreasing the speed of the ship.


    Whooom!


    An enormous body flew out of the ocean. It was a massive limitless ocean whale that was ten miles long.


    Siii!


    Everyone within the ship took in a cold breath, and Loulan Zhishui was dazed.


    In front of this power, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship had no chance to fight back.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    Everyone within the ship started to scream as the sky was blotted out.


    Peng~~~


    The ship entered the limitless ocean whale¡¯s body. It was knocked around as it was swallowed down its body.


    Everyone within the ship became dizzy, but only Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled calmly as he pondered.


    After absorbing the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng¡¯s body and bloodline were both cleansed and stronger than before. In terms of purely physical strength, he was comparable to a Sovereign.


    Therefore, he was still able to maintain his calm in this situation.


    ¡°This whale is several times stronger than the other whales. It¡¯s at least at the Great Origin Core Realm. Who knows how strong its lifeforce is? It¡¯s probably around the Void God Realm level.¡±


    Zhao Feng used his Spiritual Sense to look around.


    In terms of size, this whale was more than twice as big as the ones from before.


    ¡°This one is probably a leader among the whales.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui smiled bitterly, and Zhao Feng¡¯s expression started to become solemn after looking around.


    The battle-power of this whale definitely exceeded the Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord and Lord Hu Suo.


    ¡°The size of this whale is far too big. Even if I used the Void Space Eye Slash, it wouldn¡¯t threaten its organs.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart fell.


    For example, the heart of this whale was even bigger than a normal room, but Zhao Feng¡¯s Void Space Eye Slash was only about a meter long. If the object was too big, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t attack it.


    A single meter was nothing to the whale. At most, it would be like cutting open one¡¯s finger.


    Although the Void Space Eye Slash was Zhao Feng¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline technique, there was no perfect technique in the world.


    The size of the whale itself countered the Void Space Eye Slash and, to a certain extent, most single-target attacks.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng started to think.


    Gulugulu~~


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship fell into a sticky liquid.


    ¡°Not good, that¡¯s the stomach acid of the whale!¡±


    Loulan Zhishui exclaimed.


    _Stomach acid?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Spiritual Sense felt an extremely strong eroding force. Normal True Lord Ranks would be digested instantly the second they touched it.


    ¡°Limitless ocean whales devour large amounts of beasts or humans or even ships and digest them within its body.¡±


    An old sailor said.


    The sticky liquid covered the entire ship. Although Loulan Zhishui and company did their best, there was nothing they could do.


    The sticky liquid had stopped the ship and ¡°sealed¡± it.


    ¡°Captain, what should we do?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s face lost all color.


    Zhao Feng summoned the skeletal Division Leader and started to discuss a plan with everyone else. After all, his knowledge of the whale was limited.


    ¡°How long can the ship last?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye found that the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was slowly starting to melt.


    ¡°The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship is made from rare materials, so it¡¯s extremely resilient toward erosion. Its defenses can even block a Sovereign for a while.¡±


    ¡°But the acid is also extremely powerful.¡±


    Everyone started to talk and came to one conclusion:


    ¡°The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship can last up to one month at most.¡±


    ¡°If we have enough Primal Crystal Stones and keep the defensive array going, we can last two or three months.¡±


    The sailors started to take action.


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship soon glowed with a thin gray-blue light, which blocked the sticky liquid.


    ¡°Captain, the acid is extremely strong, so a large amount of Primal Crystal Stones will be used to maintain the array.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui said urgently.


    ¡°Relax, stabilize the situation first.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was calm and without emotion.


    He had taken a lot of Primal Crystal Stones from the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Gulu~~~


    The whale dove back into the ocean and devoured everything in its path.


    In this area, the limitless ocean whale was one of the beasts at the top of the food chain.


    ¡°Master, I have a 50-60% chance of breaking through the acid with my body, but I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be able to escape.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said, and Zhao Feng sighed. The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s bones were the strongest amongst the group, and they were extremely resilient toward erosion. If even the skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t have a high chance of escaping, then the others probably wouldn¡¯t be able to survive either.


    An hour later, the whale dove into the depths of the ocean.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom~~~


    Waves tossed and turned, and the number of powerful beast auras started to increase.


    A dozen¡­ a couple dozen¡­ a hundred¡­.


    ¡°...I think we¡¯ve entered a horde of limitless ocean whales.¡±

 577 Cultivation Increasing

    ¡°...I think we¡¯ve entered a horde of limitless ocean whales.¡±


    The scalps of everyone within the ship tingled in fear.


    In the depths of the ocean, each aura represented a legendary limitless ocean whale.


    Most of these whales were mature and their battle-strength each surpassed normal Sovereigns.


    The combination of so many whales was enough to rip the souls of experts into pieces.


    Sii!


    Everyone took in a cold breath.


    Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The thudding of their heartbeats was extremely clear within the ship.


    ¡°Only someone at the Void God Realm could escape unharmed. Even Great Origin Core Realms would die.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. There were a couple other whales in the group just as strong as the one they were in.


    These larger whales had strong lifeforce, and even normal Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords wouldn¡¯t be able to fight against them head-on.


    In this situation, Zhao Feng could do nothing except conceal his aura.


    Gulu~~~


    The whale passed through the ocean and sent loud, deep sounds as it greeted the other whales nearby.


    The hearts of everyone within the ship trembled, and the flames in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eye sockets twitched uneasily. It had never undergone such a soul-shaking experience even during the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion era.


    Suddenly:


    Wu~~


    A powerful aura came from the depths of the ocean that caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to freeze. In that instant, every whale shook and ¡°bowed¡± respectfully.


    Even the whale that had devoured their ship was trembling slightly, unable to hide the awe and respect in its heart.


    ¡°Could it be a Void God Realm whale?¡±


    Zhao Feng and company couldn¡¯t even think properly due to the pressure on their souls.


    Zhao Feng had once felt the aura of a Void God Realm in the Purple Saint Ruins, but this aura was far clearer.


    ¡°This aura is probably a limitless ocean whale king.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s body trembled, and she spent a lot of energy just to speak.


    _Limitless ocean whale king._


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and the ocean currents froze momentarily.


    The body of the whale king was green, and it had plants growing on the surface of its body.


    The whale king casually opened its eyes and scanned its surroundings, releasing a magnificent aura.


    ¡°This limitless ocean whale king has definitely reached the Void God Realm. Being a beast of the ocean, its size is enormous¡­. It must be a higher lifeform.¡±


    Even Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was restrained.


    At this point in time, everyone was unable to breathe. They didn¡¯t dare use their Spiritual Sense, and even their thoughts were suppressed.


    However, they could all sense the whale king.


    Shua!


    The whale king¡¯s eyes scanned over the group of whales, and its sight landed on the whale containing Zhao Feng and company for an extra while.


    ¡°Not good!¡¯


    Everyone within the ship could feel the whale king¡¯s gaze.


    The pressure on their souls became stronger, and it felt as if they would shatter any moment.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The hearts of everyone sped up and almost jumped up to their throats.


    However, the whale king¡¯s gaze only stayed on them for a moment before turning away.


    Hu~


    Everyone within the ship let out a long breath.


    Plop! Plop!


    A couple of the sailors fell onto the ground, and Zhao Feng¡¯s back was drenched in cold sweat.


    They had no chance against a Void God Realm King.


    _That whale king has already sensed us, but it didn¡¯t do anything._


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Everyone within the ship clearly felt the gaze from the whale king, but it didn¡¯t do anything at all. It didn¡¯t seem to really care about them. Maybe people within a whale wasn¡¯t a rare sight.


    ¡°I get it.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader did its best to maintain its calm, ¡°The whale king is too disdainful to bother with us. In its eyes, we¡¯re just ants.¡±


    Hearing that, everyone let out a breath and was filled with joy.


    The whale king was one of the stronger beings in the limitless ocean. In its eyes, even Sovereigns were ants. On top of that, Zhao Feng and company had already been swallowed by one of its subordinates.


    While they were filled with joy, they also couldn¡¯t help feeling bitter and sad. When had they ever been happy about being weak?


    If Zhao Feng and company were all a realm higher, they might catch the whale king¡¯s attention, and the situation might be different.


    Gulu~~


    The whale they were in swam around and found a place to sleep.


    Di! Da!


    While the whale was sleeping, the acid actually increased instead of decreasing, sealing the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship shut in its stomach.


    Zhao Feng suspected that this realm of acid was the whale¡¯s digestion route.


    An hour later, the whale fell into a deep sleep, and the powerful aura in front had disappeared.


    ¡°Most of the time, the limitless ocean whales sleep. They will only go outside and hunt for food once they wake up.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui explained as she felt a bit better.


    The group became silent. The ship could only last two or three months at most. After that, the ship would be dissolved.


    ¡°Captain, what should we do?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui spoke after a long time.


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    Zhao Feng said. Even if they had the ability to escape, they wouldn¡¯t dare do so.


    Aside from being surrounded by a horde of limitless ocean whales, there was a Void God Realm whale king as well. Therefore, it was best to just do nothing.


    On top of that, the battle-power of the whale that ate them wasn¡¯t really something they could fight against to begin with.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin:


    ¡°My cultivation is reaching the peak True Lord Rank. This closed-off environment is more suitable for cultivation.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly closed his eyes.


    Entering the Ancient Dream Realm was extremely beneficial to him, and his bloodline and body had strengthened. Even his Source of True Spirit and the purple lightning had become purer.


    In terms of mental energy and body, Zhao Feng was comparable to a Sovereign. Of course, there was still a distance between the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s bone strengthening technique and his own body.


    In such a situation, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation would rise extremely quickly.


    As time passed, Zhao Feng would enter the Ancient Dream Realm every couple days and absorb the aura from it.


    Currently, he could last nine breaths inside. That was his current limit.


    Every time he returned, Zhao Feng would try to absorb as much aura as he could.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat absorbed the traces of aura that seeped out.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that, if it weren¡¯t for the little thieving cat absorbing the aura that seeped out of his body, the whale king might be disturbed.


    The little thieving cat absorbed every last bit of the ancient aura, and every time it did, the little thieving cat¡¯s bloodline would tremble slightly. However, the little thieving cat¡¯s bloodline was quite unique and improved extremely slowly. Even Zhao Feng didn¡¯t understand it.


    Finally, after a month of cultivation, a huge aura surged from the ship.


    ¡°Peak True Lord Rank.¡±


    Zhao Feng suppressed his aura from radiating everywhere.


    At this moment, both the quality and size of his Source of True Spirit had reached a limit. The Peak True Lord Rank was the limit of the Three Heavens of the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°Captain¡¯s broke through?¡±


    The sailors all felt something. Luckily, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship itself had the ability to block senses, and the whale slept very deeply as well, so it didn¡¯t sense any disturbance from these tiny ¡°specks.¡±


    ¡°Peak True Lord Rank. This is only the first step.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t stop cultivating. Over the past month, he had entered the Ancient Dream Realm five or six times, and his body and bloodline had become even stronger.


    Even though he only just reached the Peak True Lord Rank, his foundation was extremely stable.


    His soul, body, and intent had all reached that of a Sovereign¡¯s.


    He even had the only thing he lacked ¨C Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. He stored a lot of Primal Crystal Stones in his interspatial ring, as well as various resources related to Wind and Lightning.


    Half a month later, Zhao Feng¡¯s Source of True Spirit became more and more sticky, and the azure color was replaced by more of a purple color. Furthermore, his liquefied Source of True Spirit was becoming more solid.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Source of True Spirit was starting to become more of an ¡°Origin Core.¡± An Origin Core was a Sovereign¡¯s core, which stored all their power, and their True Force would become True Yuan.


    Origin Cores and True Yuan both surpassed Sources of True Spirit and True Force.


    Of course, the half-step Origin Core Realm meant half-step True Yuan.


    In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body had already formed a bit of half-step True Yuan, and the majority of it was a faint purple color, while the remaining bit was azure.


    ¡°Congratulations on Master reaching the half-step Origin Core Realm!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice sounded.


    In just the short span of one-and-a-half months, Zhao Feng stepped into the peak True Lord Rank and then the half-step Origin Core Realm. This was a godlike speed.


    Although others might be shocked if they heard that, the skeletal Division Leader knew it was due to the fact that Zhao Feng had a solid foundation.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy, soul, body, and bloodline had all reached the Origin Core Realm. The only thing dragging him down was his cultivation. Therefore, it was nothing strange for Zhao Feng to immediately reach the half-step Origin Core Realm upon reaching the peak True Lord Rank.


    After reaching the half-step Origin Core Realm, Zhao Feng still didn¡¯t stop.

 578 Completion of the Hundred Corpse Plan

    Ever since Zhao Feng reached the half-step Origin Core Realm, half-step True Yuan was being produced by his Source of True Spirit and then slowly converting to True Yuan.


    The Source of True Spirit within Zhao Feng¡¯s body was extremely sticky, and it was starting to solidify. Once the Source of True Spirit fully solidified and formed the Origin Core, one¡¯s power and strength would rise dramatically.


    However, this conversion was a long process.


    Every time one¡¯s half-step True Yuan was cleansed, it resulted in a small breakthrough. This was the requirement for increasing mental energy intent and state of existence.


    If one¡¯s mental energy level or state of existence wasn¡¯t high enough, the conversion process would be extremely slow and might even reach a bottleneck. This was why there were many half-step Origin Core Realms that were stuck at this barrier for dozens of years.


    ¡°With my current speed, I¡¯ll be able to become a Sovereign within three or four years at most.¡±


    Zhao Feng estimated, given the current conversion speed.


    In theory, there wouldn¡¯t be a bottleneck for him in reaching the Origin Core Realm, which was one of the reasons his conversion speed was so much greater than others¡¯. Only people like Lu Tianyi and company who were from two-star sects and had Void God Realm experts assisting them could be compared to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng purposefully slowed down the conversion speed and focused more on comprehension.


    ¡°The stronger one¡¯s elements and intents are, the more powerful the Origin Core will be when it forms.¡±


    Zhao Feng focused on the foundation. Once the Source of True Spirit turned into an Origin Core, it would become the core of the cultivator, containing all their comprehension, power, and intents.


    For example, Zhao Feng¡¯s Source of True Spirit had merged with the element of Wind Lightning, and different cultivators that cultivated different techniques would have different levels of comprehension.


    ¡°It¡¯s best to strengthen my elements before the half-step True Yuan is fully converted.¡±


    Zhao Feng set his sights higher.


    As he couldn¡¯t break through to the Origin Core Realm any time soon anyway without the help of some heaven-defying items, it was better the walk down the path of an elite.


    Within his mind, Zhao Feng merged his consciousness into the Wind Lightning Stone Tablet once more and started to comprehend the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning.


    Time flew by quickly and another month passed.


    Zhao Feng understood more of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning. He managed to comprehend 20-30% of it.


    In reality, ever since he had left the Purple Saint Ruins the first time, his main focus had been the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s Source of True Spirit was cleansed, and it had an aura of Destruction within.


    He slowly opened his palm and a wisp of wind and lightning formed a Blade of Purple Destruction, containing a dense and pure aura of Destruction.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng quickly dissipated the Blade of Purple Destruction, but even then, everyone on the ship had already felt a power of Destruction in their souls that made them very uneasy.


    Even the heart of the skeletal Division Leader jumped.


    He couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t been focusing on converting the half-step True Yuan; he instead focused on comprehension. Only with comprehension would Zhao Feng¡¯s battle-power be able to increase dramatically within a short amount of time.


    ¡°This Blade of Purple Destruction is enough to threaten normal Sovereigns.¡±


    Zhao Feng was satisfied. He had only comprehended 20-30% of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning, so it shouldn¡¯t be so powerful, but one factor increased the power of Destruction within the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning: the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    The aura from the Ancient Dream Realm allowed Zhao Feng¡¯s power of Destruction to become purer. Even the Wind Lightning Emperor himself probably didn¡¯t have such a pure level of Destruction when he was at Zhao Feng¡¯s level.


    Even while he was busy with his comprehension, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t forget to enter the Ancient Dream Realm every couple days.


    The aura from the Ancient Dream Realm was Zhao Feng¡¯s biggest help in strengthening his body and bloodline.


    His bloodline was now twice as pure and powerful than when he was in the Purple Saint Ruins.


    The aura from the Ancient Dream Realm allowed one¡¯s bloodline to ¡°trace back to its ancestor.¡±


    Of course, the effect wasn¡¯t limitless. When his bloodline and body reached a certain level, the effect of the Ancient Dream Realm became smaller and smaller.


    To continue this pace, he needed to absorb more and more aura from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader.¡±


    Zhao Feng merged his consciousness into the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl and inspected the progress of the Hundred Corpse plan.


    ¡°Master, the Hundred Corpse plan is complete.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice contained pride. The Hundred Corpse plan was its own suggestion, and now it finally completed the plan.


    ¡°The Hundred Corpse plan¡­ is complete?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t suppress the joy in his heart.


    Within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, a hundred cursed ghost-corpses stood side-by-side, and all of them were at the peak True Lord Rank.


    It was finally complete. Zhao Feng let out a long breath.


    He had expended an enormous amount of resources to complete the Hundred Corpse plan, even though most of those resources came from the Purple Saint Ruins.


    It could be said that, without the Forbidden Ground of a Hundred Graves, Purple Saint Ruins, or the skeletal Division Leader, the Hundred Corpse plan couldn¡¯t be completed.


    Everything relied on fortune.


    ¡°Now that the Hundred Corpse plan is complete, the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array will be much stronger.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was even more excited than Zhao Feng.


    Within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, there were the two dark silver poisonous ghost-corpses aside from the hundred cursed ghost-corpses.


    These two dark silver ghost-corpses had stayed in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl for a long time now, and they had reached the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    _Can the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm strengthen ghost-corpses?_


    Zhao Feng suddenly thought, but this thought soon disappeared. He could only stay in the Ancient Dream Realm for less than ten breaths, and he didn¡¯t even have enough for himself.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng was comprehending the power of his bloodline and the Ice Imperial Spear.


    Gu~~


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship suddenly started to shake.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Everyone within the ship were unable to stand.


    Gu! Gu!


    The whale had awoken and was slowly swimming around.


    ¡°Captain, the whale slept for two months and should be going to find food now.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui said, and everyone¡¯s eyes glinted with hope.


    ¡°This big guy¡¯s finally woken up.¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a smile, and a heavy weight seemed to be lifted off him.


    The reason he had cultivated all this time was to wait for this moment. As expected, everything went to plan as the whale went out to find food.


    If the whale stayed with the horde, no matter how strong Zhao Feng was, he wouldn¡¯t dare to do anything. The horde contained over a hundred limitless ocean whales and a whale king at the Void God Realm.


    Trying to do anything in that situation was the same as looking for death.


    ¡°This is our last chance while the whale goes out hunting.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. Limitless ocean whales would sleep for a long time after coming back from hunting, and the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship couldn¡¯t last much longer.


    Gulu gulu~~


    The limitless ocean whale started to charge around in the depths of the ocean.


    In terms of size, this whale had reached ten miles. It was one of the larger beasts in the ocean.


    Facing this last chance, Zhao Feng went all out and temporarily removed the restriction on his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to detect the situation outside.


    ¡°The whale is leaving the group.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heartbeat sped up.


    The giant horde of limitless ocean whales obviously didn¡¯t have much prey nearby, therefore the whales must travel further away.


    A thousand miles¡­ five thousand miles¡­ ten thousand miles¡­.


    After the limitless ocean whale moved further and further away, it finally started to eat after travelling for around twenty thousand miles.


    ¡°It¡¯s time.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart started pumping faster.


    Shua!


    He summoned the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Master, what¡¯s your plan? Are we going to give up on these sailors and forcefully break out?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader suggested, but Zhao Feng slightly shook his head.


    Forcefully breaking out was a horrible plan. The battle-power of this whale was even greater than Lord Hu Suo and the Eight Desolate Sovereign Lord.


    Even Zhao Feng¡¯s Void Space Eye Slash couldn¡¯t threaten it. If they gave up on the ship, they weren¡¯t guaranteed to remain unharmed.


    ¡°We shall start from here¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and circulated his bloodline power to active the Ice Imperial Spear, which released an aura of Ice and Water.


    Bo~~~


    A ripple of water surged around Zhao Feng and broke through from the top of the ship. The sticky acid still surrounded the ship, and even normal Origin Core Realms couldn¡¯t survive for more than a couple breaths.


    However, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were different.


    The skeletal Division Leader trained in bone strengthening and its defense was extremely resilient toward erosion. On the other hand, Zhao Feng¡¯s body had reached the level of a Sovereign and his Water Bloodline specialized in recovery.


    Bo~~


    On the deck, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader both entered the sticky liquid. The latter was about to use its Nine Deadly Yin Bone and forcefully create a path out, but it was stopped by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°From Water to Ice!¡±


    Zhao Feng used the power of the Ice Imperial Spear within his body.


    Whoosh!


    A layer of light instantly covered the ship and extended across several dozen yards.


    Si!


    Everything within a hundred yards of the ship was frozen.


    The area around the ship was now sealed.


    ¡°Good idea!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    Normal methods couldn¡¯t stop this acid, but this sticky liquid was still a liquid; once frozen, the movement would stop.


    At this point in time, everything within a hundred yards was sealed in ice because of Zhao Feng¡¯s secret bloodline technique.


    ¡°The first step is complete.¡±

 579 The Terrifying Ghost Corpse Cursed Array

    ¡°The first step is complete.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath and was slightly happy.


    He was correct. Normal attacks like his Purple Destruction Wind Lightning or the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s power of Death and Yin couldn¡¯t handle the sticky liquid, but everything in the world had a nemesis. There was no such thing as perfection.


    For example, Zhao Feng¡¯s Void Space Eye Slash was countered by the limitless ocean whale¡¯s size, and the whale¡¯s acid was countered by Zhao Feng¡¯s Ice Bloodline. After being sealed in ice, the acid lost all of its effectiveness.


    ¡°Luckily, my bloodline has become purer over the last half a year, and the Ice Imperial Spear can release more coldness now.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt lucky. All of this was because of the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    If he used his bloodline power right after he left the Purple Saint Ruins, it would be difficult to seal the acid inside a hundred yards in ice.


    Sii!


    Once the sticky liquid came within the radius of the ice layer, it would lose its ability to move.


    ¡°So cold¡­.¡±


    The center of the ice zone was the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship. Although the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship¡¯s materials were extremely tough and it had a protective array, the people within the ship were still affected.


    Loulan Zhishui and company hiccupped, and it felt as if their blood was going to freeze.


    Furthermore, this was just the slightest remnant of the cold. It couldn¡¯t even be considered part of the attack itself. From this, one could see how much stronger Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power and Ice Imperial Spear were.


    ¡°Master, everything¡¯s surrounded by ice¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader cursed. Even _its_ body started to stiffen.


    _From Ice to Water!_


    Zhao Feng smiled and used his bloodline power to transform the inner layer of ice into water.


    Weng~~


    The power of the water was then reabsorbed by his bloodline.


    The center of the ice surrounding the ship was hollowed out as a part of it was melted.


    ¡°Good idea!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader could guess Zhao Feng¡¯s next step.


    Now that a part of the ice had disappeared, they had a layer of space.


    ¡°The second step; set up the array.¡±


    Zhao Feng used his bloodline power to maintain the ice while the skeletal Division Leader set up the array.


    Shua!


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag and a hundred cursed ghost-corpses appeared above the ship.


    A dark mist radiating a sky-shaking curse spread. Even those at the half-step Origin Core Realm would be threatened if they touched the slightest bit of it.


    ¡°Close it.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered.


    This was the true form of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    The maximum range it could spread was five or six miles.


    Hu~~


    The skeletal Division Leader controlled the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and condensed it to within a couple dozen yards, otherwise it would destroy the ice.


    ¡°Direct the curse.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as he ordered once more.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes lit up; it knew which method Zhao Feng was going to use to deal with the whale.


    Hu~~


    Withered white hands jumped out from the dark mist. These bloody, withered white hands couldn¡¯t be seen by the naked eye, and they were extremely hard to detect with Spiritual Sense. They were like phantoms.


    ¡°It¡¯s chilly.¡±


    Everyone within the ship felt a coldness in their soul.


    _Go!_


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the black flag, and thousands upon thousands of withered white hands grabbed toward the organs of the whale.


    The strange thing was that the power of the curse was based in the soul dimension and didn¡¯t affect the ice.


    Shua! Shua!


    Thousands and thousands of bloody white hands grasped through the ice and consumed the blood and flesh of the whale.


    ¡°So, this is the power of the curse.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see the power of the curse.


    Under normal situations, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had been using the power of the ghost-corpses and their hatred. This was the Ghost Corpse Cursed Power.


    Currently, it was a true, pure curse.


    The power of the curse affected the target directly and was invisible.


    Back at the Azure Flower Continent, if a True Spirit Realm expert entered the Forbidden Ground of a Hundred Graves and was touched by the power of the curse, the curse would still be on them even if they retreated.


    This time, the skeletal Division Leader channeled this even-stronger curse into the organs of the whale.


    Wu~


    The ten-mile-long whale roared deeply and started to shake.


    It was obvious that the whale started to feel uncomfortable, but the ¡°problem¡± seemed to be coming from its internal organs so there was nothing it could do.


    ¡°After being attacked by the power of the curse, the affected being will start to continuously lose their lifeforce.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected how the power of the curse attacked.


    If normal experts were caught by the curse, their lifespan would decrease if they didn¡¯t just die immediately. This meant that the power of the curse ate lifeforce and decreased the opponent¡¯s lifespan.


    Hu~~


    The withered white hands became even more bloody after consuming the flesh and blood of the whale.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­. Even a Great Origin Core Realm expert wouldn¡¯t be able to last very long if the power of the Hundred Corpse Curse was activated within their body.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader laughed. It and Zhao Feng stood on the deck and didn¡¯t dare to touch the power of the curse.


    Gu~ Gu~~


    The limitless ocean whale howled and caused the ocean to toss and turn. The ¡°problem¡± within its body was starting to eat its organs.


    What was more terrifying was that the curse was limitless. There was no escape once infected.


    The whale was still struggling an hour later, but its aura and resistance had weakened.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed worthy of being a major figurehead in the ocean. Its lifeforce is incredibly strong. Normal Great Origin Core Realms would have died long ago if the power of the curse spread within their body.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    At this moment in time, the curse had caused the whale to enter a weakened state.


    ¡°Avoid the heart.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    Through the inspection of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he gave a map of the whale¡¯s organs to the skeletal Division Leader.


    The skeletal Division Leader directed the curse to vital organs but avoided the heart.


    ¡°The heart blood essence is the most valuable treasure from a limitless ocean whale. The heart blood essence can raise one¡¯s state of existence and has the ability to transform one anew¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. He was still thinking about the heart blood essence.


    One had to know that the strength of this whale surpassed normal Great Origin Core Realms, and its state of being was only below that of a Void God Realm¡¯s.


    Hu~~


    The power of the curse kept eroding the energy and soul of the whale, and Zhao Feng could sense that the body of the whale was starting to wither as its life was sucked away.


    Boom~~ Bam~~~


    The whale thrashed around in the ocean and occasionally popped out on the surface. Its problem had made it go insane.


    Half a day later, the limitless ocean whale was still struggling, but its aura was much weaker than before.


    ¡°Master, the body of the whale is too big. A normal Great Origin Core Realm would have died dozens of times already. Killing it will probably take a couple more days.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said, and Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    He was scared that more limitless ocean whales would be attracted, but luckily, the whale had gone insane and lost its sense of direction.


    On the limitless ocean:


    Sou!


    A gray ship in the shape of a shark sped across the ocean.


    ¡°Limitless ocean whale!¡±


    ¡°This one is enormous. It¡¯s probably not a normal limitless ocean whale.¡±


    Dozens of figures appeared on the ship. Each of these figures had a bloodthirsty aura, and the leader was a nasty-looking male in silver who was looking at the whale uncertainly.


    ¡°This whale is about ten miles long. We probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to fill the gaps in its teeth.¡±


    The pirates looked at it with fear and respect. The aura from this beast was enough to make the hearts of normal Sovereigns shake.


    ¡°Hmm? Something¡¯s wrong. The whale seems to have caught a disease and is struggling weakly.¡±


    The leader inspected it with his Spiritual Sense and found that something was amiss.


    After inspecting for a while:


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    The man in silver ordered. Although he had the cultivation of the Origin Core Realm, he was nothing against a beast of this level.


    He wouldn¡¯t be able to approach the whale with his strength, and a flip of the whale could kill them all.


    Sou~~


    The pirate ship soon left the whale¡¯s location.


    Boom~~ Bam!


    The limitless ocean whale struggled, but its aura was decreasing.


    Half a day later, another group of experts and businessmen passed by, but they evaded the whale when they saw it.


    Eventually:


    Sou~~~~


    A powerful aura flashed through the sky and caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to toss and turn.


    Crack!


    The mist was pushed aside in front of this magnificent force.


    The sky of the limitless ocean became dyed with a dark green color.


    ¡°Great Origin Core Realm!¡±


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader both sensed it within the body of the whale.


    A few breaths later:


    Shua!


    An elder accompanied by a male and female descended in the area.


    ¡°Limitless ocean whale!¡±


    The eyes of the elder sparkled as his aura became stronger.


    ¡°Limitless ocean whale?¡±


    ¡°So, this is one of the legendary beasts of the ocean?¡±


    The male and female were between the ages of twenty and thirty. The male was handsome while the female was pretty.


    Although they were both from the younger generation, they had both reached the True Lord Rank.


    ¡°This is a one-in-a-thousand chance. The state of existence of this whale is close to the Void God Realm and even normal Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords aren¡¯t its match, but it seems to have been injured. It¡¯s lost a lot of lifeforce and has become much weaker¡­.¡±


    The eyes of the elder shone.

 580 Dug Ou

    ¡°Heart blood essence?¡±


    The eyes of the pair of youths lit up, and the handsome male was extremely excited as he seemed to have heard of the legends before; ¡°Apparently the heart blood essence has the ability to transform one anew. If one bathes in it, it increases one¡¯s state of existence and foundation.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    The elder who wore a plain shirt nodded his head, ¡°The blood is beneficial even for Sovereigns. If you two are able to bathe in the heart blood essence, I can guarantee that you¡¯ll have a body and a state of being equivalent to a half-step Origin Core Realm, and the chances of breaking through to the Origin Core Realm will be higher.¡±


    Hearing that, the two were extremely excited.


    The cultivation of the two were at the early-stage and late-stage of the True Lord Rank. Who knew how long it would take them to break through to the half-step Origin Core Realm, let alone the Origin Core Realm?


    It could be said that the heart blood essence of a limitless ocean whale can change one¡¯s potential.


    Furthermore, this was a long-term benefit without any downsides, unlike pills or other resources that would leave hidden complications behind.


    ¡°Furthermore, the state of existence of this whale is not normal. It¡¯s probably only below that of the legendary limitless ocean whale king.¡±


    The elder in the shirt murmured.


    The heart blood essence of this whale would surpass other whales.


    ¡°If I use this blood continuously, it¡¯ll push my body and state of existence toward the Void God Realm. Although it won¡¯t increase my chances of breaking through to the Void God Realm per se, at least I¡¯ll have a stronger foundation¡­.¡±


    The elder¡¯s heart thumped.


    No one wouldn¡¯t be excited if they had the chance to increase their state of being. Not many people below the Void God Realm would be able to resist the heart blood essence.


    ¡°Third Elder, how confident are you in being able to kill this whale?¡±


    The pretty female asked.


    ¡°Hehe¡­. Relax. This limitless ocean whale is extremely weak right now and probably only has 20-30% of its full battle-power remaining. On top of that, its heart is the size of a hall, which is more than enough for you two as well. I can take it back and increase the strength of the clan.¡±


    The elder smiled with confidence. After saying so, he sent a palm thrusting toward the whale.


    The environment within dozens of miles changed in front of a Great Origin Core Realm.


    Boom~~~~


    A dark green palm-light hit the head of the whale.


    ¡°Mystic Sky Dark Energy Symbol!¡±


    The figure of a palm condensed in the air and started to become bigger.


    Even more incredibly, the Mystic Sky Dark Energy Symbol was slowly sinking into the head of the limitless ocean whale.


    Wu~~~


    The limitless ocean whale roared and struggled as it revealed a pained expression.


    At this moment in time, 80-90% of its organs had been affected by the power of the curse, and it was on its last breath.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. It¡¯s even weaker than I thought.¡±


    The elder laughed as he dodged a wave that was created from the whale flipping.


    At its peak, the whale could create entire tsunamis with a flip and severely injure normal Origin Core Realms.


    Within the whale¡¯s body:


    ¡°Master, there¡¯s a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord outside¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was worried. They could all feel how strong the Great Origin Core Realm was.


    Zhao Feng had used the Void Space Eye Slash to force back Lord Hu Suo, bringing danger upon himself in the process.


    From this Great Origin Core Realm¡¯s intent, this one seemed to be even stronger than Lord Hu Suo.


    ¡°Hehe, while that Great Origin Core Realm is suppressing the whale, it¡¯s the perfect chance to take the heart blood essence.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    _Heart blood essence?_


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t help but be shocked. In this situation where there was danger both inside and outside, Zhao Feng was still thinking about the heart blood essence?


    Even if they succeeded, would that Great Origin Core Realm outside give up so easily?


    Shua!


    The skeletal Division Leader put away the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and wanted to see how Zhao Feng would achieve his goal.


    ¡°We need to break through this realm of acid first.¡±


    Zhao Feng said. It wasn¡¯t too hard to do so at this point since the whale had lost more than half its lifeforce.


    ¡°Freeze.¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power and the Ice Imperial Spear as he froze the entire area. The difficulty of doing so was much lower than last time.


    ¡°Open a path.¡±


    Zhao Feng gave the next task to the skeletal Division Leader.


    Boom Boom Boom~~


    The skeletal Division Leader expressionlessly used the phantom of the Nine Deadly Yin Bone and created a tunnel by repeatedly thrusting the weapon.


    The process of creating the tunnel was easier than expected, mainly due to the fact that, after the whale lost most of its lifeforce, the acid lost most of its power.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had used his bloodline power to turn the sticky liquid into a solid, allowing the skeletal Division Leader to create a tunnel easily.


    When the two were working, they did their best to conceal their aura in case they alarmed the Great Origin Core Realm outside.


    Luckily, the body of the whale was enormous and acted as a barrier, so the disturbance within was covered.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered Loulan Zhishui.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui and company managed the ship and directed it through the tunnel toward the exit.


    ¡°Turn left, then right.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had already inspected the structure within the whale¡¯s body.


    A while later, the ship was closing in on the heart.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The sound of the heart thumping brought a huge pressure, and the sailors felt unable to breathe.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the whale was extremely weak, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t dare to come to its heart while it was alive.


    If the whale was at its peak, the thudding from its heart might even cause normal Sovereigns to explode.


    The heart of the whale was as big as a small palace, and it glowed blue and red.


    ¡°How are we supposed to take care of such a big heart?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression was weird.


    Zhao Feng was silent for a while before he decided to use the old method.


    _Freeze!_


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and a cold lotus-shaped light spread over the heart.


    However, the heart of the whale was extremely large and couldn¡¯t be fully frozen right away.


    ¡°This is enough.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Half-frozen was enough. In fact, if it was fully frozen then the whale would die, which wasn¡¯t good for the current situation.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The elder outside attacking sensed something.


    The resistance from the whale suddenly became much smaller.


    ¡°Captain, what should we do?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui and company didn¡¯t understand.


    Currently, the heart of the whale had been half-frozen, and the shaking of its body was weaker.


    Zhao Feng said one word emotionlessly, ¡°Dig.¡±


    Miao miao!


    As soon as he said that, the little thieving cat jumped out with a shovel.


    Crack! Crack!


    The little thieving cat pushed the shovel into the heart and started to dig.


    Everyone¡¯s eyes almost fell out.


    The skeletal Division Leader was also shocked, but thinking about it carefully, this wasn¡¯t exactly the first time Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat had done this.


    ¡°En. Everyone, get to work.¡±


    Zhao Feng put one of his hands, which glowed with an ice lotus symbol, onto the heart.


    As his bloodline became stronger, Zhao Feng comprehended how to use secret bloodline techniques that weren¡¯t limited to just the Ice Imperial Spear. As his bloodline ¡°traced back to its ancestor,¡± he managed to gleam some blurry information.


    ¡°Let¡¯s do this.¡±


    Everyone took out some tools or weapons and started to dig around the heart. The tougher sections were given to the little thieving cat.


    Shu~~~~


    The little thieving cat waved the mysterious dagger around and easily cut through the tough sections of the heart.


    Around half the time it took to make tea later, the heart had been cut out of the whale.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng had sealed the area in ice or else blood would have started flowing everywhere.


    _Take!_


    Zhao Feng raised his hand and put the enormous heart into his interspatial ring.


    Luckily, this ring was provided to him by the Purple Saint Partial Spirit and was of a high rank, so it could fit the heart.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    The shirt-wearing elder outside found that something was wrong.


    The whale in front of them had become extremely weak and lost the ability to fight back. Streams of blood surged out from its body, dying the ocean red.


    Right at that moment:


    Sou!


    A small gray ship covered with ice shards shot out of the whale¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡±


    The elder instinctively shouted, and the aura of a Great Origin Core Realm pressured the area.


    The hearts of everyone on the ship jumped.


    ¡°Thank you for saving us, senior.¡±


    Zhao Feng came out and gratefully bowed toward the elder.


    Everyone within the ship couldn¡¯t help but sweat coldly. It seemed like Zhao Feng was trying to bluff his way past a Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°You¡¯re businessmen that were eaten by the whale?¡±


    The elder thought about it and soon understood. It wasn¡¯t the first time that a ship had been eaten by a limitless ocean whale.


    As the two sides were talking:


    Sou~ Sou Sou~~~


    A large pirate ship with almost a hundred figures flew over. The head of the ship was in the shape of a triangle.


    ¡°The Metal Triangle Pirates are also here!?¡±


    The elder couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    Three Origin Core Realm auras appeared from the ship, and the strongest one of them had reached the Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. Surround them!¡±


    An arrogant, sea-shaking laugh came from the ship.

 581 Horrible Master

    The size of this ship was double that of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, and it had almost a hundred pirates onboard.


    On top of that were three Sovereigns.


    One of them was a male in silver ¨C the pirate who spoke earlier. Next to him was a female with a black veil over her face. Her pair of eyes was as calm as water.


    However, neither of them were the true leader of the Metal Triangle Pirates.


    At the top of the ship sat a large purple-faced male wearing beast-skin clothes who gave off a feeling of metal. A rusty metallic triangle hung on his neck.


    ¡°Surround them!¡±


    The purple-faced male laughed.


    ¡°Metal Triangle Pirate Captain, this whale was killed by me. Since you¡¯re here, you can have everything except the heart blood essence.¡±


    The elder wearing the shirt said. If it was a one-on-one, he wouldn¡¯t give up, but the current situation was looking extremely bad for him. The opponents were three Sovereigns, and the two youths next to him were just luggage.


    ¡°Hahaha, Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion, you don¡¯t seem to know what¡¯s going on. This isn¡¯t the territory of the Gan Cloud Pavilion. The ocean around here is my territory.¡±


    The captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates roared in laughter.


    ¡°What do you want?¡±


    The expression of the elder became grim.


    The Gan Cloud Pavilion was one of the stronger forces around; it had reached one-and-a-half stars.


    Although the captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates knew the elder, he didn¡¯t seem to care. The limitless ocean was the territory of pirates and beasts.


    As long as they weren¡¯t from a two-star sect, the Metal Triangle Pirate Captain didn¡¯t fear them.


    ¡°Hehe, what do I want? This is the territory of the Metal Triangle Pirates. Everything is mine.¡±


    Mockery appeared on the Metal Triangle Pirate Captain¡¯s face.


    ¡°Old man, if you know what to do then you should just fuck off and we¡¯ll consider not killing you.¡±


    The male in silver laughed.


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡±


    The expression of the shirt-wearing elder became extremely ugly, and he started to tremble in anger. On land, if he wanted rain, then there was rain. If he wanted wind, then there was wind. All normal Small Origin Core Realm Sovereigns were respectful to him.


    The pirates started to surround them, and some even started to dissect the whale.


    The captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates looked coldly at the elder, and the elder¡¯s eyes flashed. His gaze suddenly landed on Zhao Feng and the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, and his eyes lit up; there was another Sovereign within the ship.


    When speaking with Zhao Feng before, he didn¡¯t pay too much attention to a measly Small Origin Core Realm, but he noticed it now.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was also extremely powerful, and the elder sensed that.


    The fact that their ship didn¡¯t break in the limitless ocean whale¡¯s body meant that it wasn¡¯t normal either.


    ¡°Little friend and fellow Sovereign, you can see the current situation. The Metal Triangle Pirates don¡¯t put anyone in their eyes, and they¡¯re bloodthirsty. Even if we give the limitless ocean whale to them, they won¡¯t let you live.¡±


    The elder said through Spiritual Sense.


    The only thing he could do to fight back against the Metal Triangle Pirates was to get Zhao Feng and company on his side.


    ¡°Brat, if you try to work with this old man, then don¡¯t blame me for ripping you into pieces and feeding you to some fish.¡±


    The captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates threatened.


    The eyes of the pirate leaders were full of greed as they looked at the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship. They could tell that it was a high-quality ship.


    Although they wouldn¡¯t attack the shirt-wearing since they were still wary of his strength, they wouldn¡¯t give up an opportunity to plunder weaker foes.


    ¡°Senior, you saved us from the whale. We obviously won¡¯t decline teaming up.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with the threatening eyes of the Metal Triangle Pirates.


    ¡°Good.¡±


    The heart of the elder started beating quicker. With the help of Zhao Feng and company, the strength between both sides became more even, but the outcome would still be decided primarily by the two Great Origin Core Realms.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give these two juniors to you.¡±


    The elder waved his hand and pushed the pair of youths onto the ship, then he charged toward the captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates with a powerful aura.


    ¡°Old man, you dare to fight me?¡±


    The captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates licked his lips and charged toward the elder with a gruesome expression.


    Bam~~ Boom~~~


    The two Great Origin Core Realms clashed, creating waves that spread across more than a dozen miles.


    Everyone only saw two small black dots clash across the sky.


    ¡°Kill everyone else.¡±


    The captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates laughed and tried to put pressure on the shirt-wearing elder¡¯s heart.


    He was confident in his subordinates.


    The shirt-wearing elder went all-out, and the momentum of a Great Origin Core Realm caused the environment to change. However, his opponent was also a Great Origin Core Realm that was experienced in battle.


    Even after some time, the shirt-wearing elder didn¡¯t have any advantage. He couldn¡¯t help but worry and feel uneasy for Zhao Feng and company.


    However, the young captain was surprisingly calm and didn¡¯t panic, while the sailors acted as if they were facing a powerful foe as they opened the protective array of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°Zhishui, protect the ship.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered.


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship¡¯s defense should be able to last for an hour as long as there wasn¡¯t an Origin Core Realm attacking it.


    As for the actual battle, that landed on the skeletal Division Leader and himself.


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader stood at the head of the ship.


    ¡°That youth is your captain?¡±


    The pretty female said as she looked at the calm Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was extremely young but had the cultivation at the half-step Origin Core Realm. There was no one as spectacular on the island they were from.


    Furthermore, even the Sovereign seemed to listen to him.


    ¡°Master, there¡¯s two Sovereigns. Which one are you going to choose?¡±


    The flames in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes jumped around as it laughed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, the male in silver and the black-veiled woman led a group of pirates and were charging over.


    They also sent a section of their force to try to dissect the whale and enter its body.


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave both of them to you.¡±


    Zhao Feng said emotionlessly.


    ¡°What¡­?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader almost fell over.


    Of the two Sovereigns, one had reached the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm, and the other was at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    Without the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, it would be hard for it to fight against the two.


    ¡°And don¡¯t use the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.¡±


    Zhao Feng added, which made the skeletal Division Leader even more bitter.


    Ever since becoming Zhao Feng¡¯s slave, it never seemed to have an easy time. It was almost shattered multiple times.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng left a faint purple afterimage behind as he flew toward the pirates that were heading toward the whale.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a half-step Origin Core Realm.¡±


    The two pirate leaders didn¡¯t put Zhao Feng in their eyes because there were more than ten people that had also reached the half-step Origin Core Realm among the pirates.


    In their eyes, the skeletal Division Leader was the biggest threat.


    The situation would be heavily affected as long as they slew it.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The two pirate leaders leapt toward the skeletal Division Leader.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The skeletal Division Leader merged the Nine Deadly Yin Bone into its body and used a secret technique.


    Weng~~


    Its body became two or three yards taller and started to smoke, becoming some kind of flaming bone giant.


    Bam~~~~


    The flaming bone giant thrusted out its palm and sent the male flying.


    ¡°What great strength. There seems to be an aura of a powerful Earth-Grade weapon.¡±


    The male almost spat out a mouthful of blood as an air of Death and Yin entered his body.


    The expression of the black-veiled woman changed slightly. She didn¡¯t think that this skeleton would be so strong.


    ¡°Go~~!¡±


    She pointed with her finger and a pale white flame radiating an air of evil and death charged toward the skeletal Division Leader.


    On top of that:


    Whoosh!


    She summoned a skeleton that gave off black flames, which also charged toward the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°A ghost-corpse at the Origin Core Realm!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, and its expression changed. This was the first time it had seen a Sovereign ghost-corpse.


    It was obvious that the black-veiled female cultivated in techniques similar to the skeletal Division Leader.


    Ding! Ding! Boom~~~~!


    At this moment, two pirate leaders and a Sovereign ghost-corpse attacked the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Why is it me every time¡­?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader almost exploded from anger, but luckily, after merging with the Nine Deadly Yin Bone, the flaming bone giant¡¯s defense and strength increased dramatically.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    The attacks from the Sovereign ghost-corpse created sparks as its attacks landed on the flaming bone giant. It wouldn¡¯t cause much of a threat for a while.


    At the same time, the skeletal Division Leader cursed its master who ran away from this fight.


    ¡°Hehe, the stronger you are, the more responsible you should be.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised by what he saw. Not only had the skeletal Division Leader become stronger, the black-veiled woman summoned a Sovereign ghost-corpse.


    ¡°That skeleton¡¯s battle-power is so strong.¡±


    The pair of youths within the ship had wide open mouths.


    Although the skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t seem to have the upper hand, it was fighting against three Sovereigns at once.


    ¡°What a bastard. The captain¡¯s using this chance to run away.¡±


    The eyebrows of the pretty female furrowed as she watched Zhao Feng run away from the fight with lightning-quick speed.


    The handsome male next to her revealed a look of disdain.

 582 Lightning Quick Tide Turner

    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother about the situation around the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship as he flew away from the battle between Sovereigns.


    His gaze landed on the pirates next to the whale.


    At the moment, there were already a couple pirates dissecting the whale and preparing to send people into the body.


    ¡°It¡¯ll be extremely bad if these pirates realize that the heart of the whale is already gone¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    The most valuable part of the whale was the heart blood essence.


    The captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates and the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion were both bent on taking it.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want his secret to be discovered, potentially becoming enemies with two Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords at the same time.


    ¡°Brat, where do you think you¡¯re going~~~!?¡±


    Two or three nearby pirates, led by a half-step Origin Core Realm, blocked Zhao Feng.


    ¡°The captain¡¯s ordered us to kill everyone.¡±


    The pirates had gruesome expressions.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with them; he just gently pointed his finger.


    Shuu~~~~~~


    Beams of wind and lightning pierced through the air, each as thin as a feather.


    Wu~


    The pirates suddenly stopped moving as their chests were burned by the faint purple Wind Lightning.


    The purple-colored Wind Lightning contained the intent of Destruction, destroying all life.


    The lifeforce of the half-step Origin Core Realm was also destroyed.


    Zhao Feng only used the time to snap his fingers to kill three pirates.


    It was much easier compared to last time. Now that his comprehension of the purple-colored lightning had reached 20-30%, he could form his half-step True Yuan with pure purple wind and lightning.


    Plop! Plop!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure soon landed on top of the limitless ocean whale, which caused the nearby pirates to scream.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s pretty tricky.¡±


    Some of the other pirates became wary as they noticed Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three half-step Origin Core Realms and more than a dozen others charged toward Zhao Feng. Facing this number of people, Zhao Feng just laughed.


    Shua! Shua!


    Afterimages were left behind. The pirates couldn¡¯t even touch Zhao Feng¡¯s clothes.


    Plop! Plop! Plop!


    The pirates then fell, dead.


    The bodies of these dead pirates were whole, but there were burn marks where their hearts were.


    The attack speed of the Purple Destruction was extremely fast, and these pirates could neither evade nor block it.


    Every time Zhao Feng pointed, a thin wisp of Purple Destruction Wind Lightning would shoot out, and this wisp contained an aura of Destruction, which was extremely terrifying.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly as he killed the nearby pirates one by one.


    At his current level, anyone below the Origin Core Realm was an ant that could be killed with a flick of his fingers.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s strength is terrifying¡­.¡±


    The pirates nearby had all been slaughtered, and even if the other pirates didn¡¯t come near Zhao Feng, he would still kill them.


    In just a short moment, Zhao Feng had slain twenty people.


    ¡°Looks like we¡¯ve blamed him wrongly.¡±


    The pretty woman was stunned, and she felt guilty as she saw Zhao Feng kill peak True Lord Ranks and half-step Origin Core Realms one after another.


    ¡°What strong battle-power. There¡¯s no genius this terrifying in any of the nearby islands unless they come from a two-star sect¡­.¡±


    The handsome youth¡¯s heart shook. Zhao Feng could kill them in a flick of their fingers.


    Zhao Feng also finally caught the attention of the two Sovereign pirates.


    ¡°Looks like we¡¯ve underestimated him.¡±


    The male and female looked at each other with surprise. The two obviously didn¡¯t imagine that such a young cultivator would be so strong.


    If they didn¡¯t stop him, Zhao Feng could easily kill all the other pirates.


    ¡°Go.¡±


    The woman wearing the black veil sent the Origin Core Realm ghost-corpse to support the other pirates.


    __


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng suddenly felt a cold and dim aura while he was killing the pirates on the ship.


    Looking over, Zhao Feng saw a flaming ghost-corpse charging toward him.


    In the past, Zhao Feng might¡¯ve tried using his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to control it, but now, he didn¡¯t dare to.


    ¡°Purple Destruction Wind Lightning Whip!¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t retreat. He condensed a faint purple chain of wind and lightning that released an aura of Destruction.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh~~~


    The whip hit the skeleton and made its bones smoke.


    The power of Lightning already countered the undead, and Zhao Feng¡¯s lightning contained the intent of Destruction as well.


    As the two clashed, Zhao Feng instantly gained the upper hand.


    The first barrage of attacks from the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning Whip landed on the Sovereign skeleton and created explosions, forcing it to retreat.


    In just a few short breaths, Zhao Feng fully suppressed the skeleton and made it howl, as if one could hear the cries of its dead soul.


    ¡°Master, that¡¯s a Sovereign-level skeleton that has merged with the rare Mystic Dark Crystal Bone, an extremely precious item for bone strengthening¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader felt its heart hurting.


    ¡°Mystic Dark Crystal Bone?¡±


    Zhao Feng instantly understood that this item was extremely useful for the skeletal Division Leader.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng dissipated the whip and merged the power of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning into his body.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Seal!¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power and created a transparent ice-blue seal, which radiated an extremely cold aura that enveloped the skeleton.


    Sii!


    Frost instantly appeared on the skeleton¡¯s body, which now had signs of freezing completely. However, it was, after all, a Sovereign, so its flames resisted against the coldness of the Ice Imperial Spear.


    _Ice Imperial Spear!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes became grim as he circulated more of the Ice Imperial Spear¡¯s power, causing the strength of the Ice Imperial Spear to increase dramatically.


    The skeleton was instantly sealed in ice.


    ¡°Master, great job!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was overjoyed when it saw that.


    ¡°My Dark Jade Skeleton King¡­ stop!¡±


    The black-veiled woman¡¯s expression changed dramatically as she roared in anger.


    Zhao Feng remained unmoved as he sent a ripple of water into the ice.


    _From Water to Ice!_


    The ripple of water turned into an icy blade that cut the Dark Jade Skeleton into several pieces because the black-veiled woman was trying to make the skeleton struggle. If it started struggling, it would be hard to put it into an interspatial storage item.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The individual parts of the Dark Jade Skeleton were put into Zhao Feng¡¯s ancient interspatial ring since it would be needed by the skeletal Division Leader later.


    ¡°Brat, you just destroyed a hundred years of hard work. I¡¯ll make sure that you won¡¯t be able to choose death even if you wanted to¡­.¡±


    The black-veiled woman started going crazy. It was extremely troublesome to raise Sovereign-level ghost-corpses.


    The nearby pirates were also dazed, and the hearts of the two youths on the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship shook.


    ¡°There aren¡¯t many geniuses of this tier even in the two-star sects of the Thousand Flowing Islands¡­.¡±


    Admiration appeared on the pretty girl¡¯s face as she looked at the cold youth on top of the whale.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­.¡±


    The flaming bone giant that was the skeletal Division Leader used this chance to attack, and it sent the black-veiled woman flying with an attack full of Death and Yin.


    Wah!


    The woman wearing the black veil spat out a mouthful of blood. After losing the ghost-corpse, her overall battle-strength had decreased by 20-30%.


    At this point in time, the skeletal Division Leader was starting to suppress the two Sovereigns with its Nine Deadly Yin Bone.


    Plop! Plop! Plop!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed across the body of the whale, and soon, every pirate within ten or twenty miles was slain.


    The remaining pirates were all scared and escaped more than a hundred miles away from him.


    ¡°Why is it like this?¡±


    The expression of the Metal Triangle Pirates Captain finally changed. A group that he didn¡¯t even put in his eyes had such terrifying battle-strength.


    The skeletal Division Leader could fight against two Sovereigns at once, and Zhao Feng had easily slain the members of the crew along with the Dark Jade Skeleton.


    ¡°It¡¯s about time this ended.¡±


    Zhao Feng saw that there were no more pirates nearby.


    Weng~~


    A pair of faint purple wings made of wind and lightning condensed on Zhao Feng¡¯s back, causing the wind nearby to blow.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning!¡±


    In just the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng returned to the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    Hu~~


    Powerful gusts of wind blew near the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship. There was the intent of a Sovereign within the wind.


    Whoosh!


    A pair of several-yards-long wings that were surrounded by an aura of Destruction appeared on top of everyone.


    ¡°Hmmm?¡±


    Neither the two pirate leaders nor the people within the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship could react in time.


    ¡°Blade of Purple Destruction!¡±


    A thin faint purple blade condensed in Shao Feng¡¯s hand, and it glittered with Destruction.


    Shua~~~


    Whoosh!


    The blade slashed through the nape of the black-veiled woman¡¯s neck.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The woman could only scream in shock. She had already been severely injured by the skeletal Division Leader not long ago and still hadn¡¯t calmed down yet.


    However, the second Zhao Feng arrived, the attack was already complete.


    Shu~~


    The blade passed through the white flames surrounding the woman¡¯s body, and the color of the blade became very faint. However, the aura of Destruction within the blade was still enough to destroy the lifeforce of the black-veiled woman.


    Plop!


    The corpse of the woman fell from the sky and into the ocean.


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    The male fighting alongside her took in a cold breath.


    The combination of the Wings of Wind and Lightning and the Blade of Purple Destruction allowed Zhao Feng to turn the tide with lightning-quick speed.

 583 The Anger of a Sovereign Lord

    The death of the woman in the black veil made the expression of the male change dramatically.


    The tide had turned way too fast.


    No one could have imagined that Zhao Feng would come back so fast and use the Blade of Purple Destruction the instant he appeared. Even the skeletal Division Leader had an incredulous expression.


    The person that Zhao Feng killed was a late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    Truthfully, the Blade of Purple Destruction could only threaten those at the early stages of the Small Origin Core Realm, and while it also posed a threat to those at the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm such as the skeletal Division Leader and the fierce-looking man, the threat would dramatically decrease if they were ready for it.


    However, the danger it posed to a late-stage Small Origin Core Realm was very limited.


    The main reason Zhao Feng succeeded was due to the combination of the Wings of Wind and Lightning and the Blade of Purple Destruction.


    Firstly, during the process of travelling over, the Blade of Purple Destruction was already condensed. Although he had only comprehended 20-30% of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning, it had merged with the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm, so the pure power of Destruction had surpassed even the Wind Lightning Emperor when he was at the same cultivation as Zhao Feng.


    Secondly, the Wings of Wind and Lightning had the ability to increase the power of Wind Lightning techniques. In addition, Zhao Feng¡¯s attack speed was extremely fast with the support of the Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    The other half of the reason for the woman¡¯s death was ignorance, and the fact that she had already been severely injured beforehand by the skeletal Division Leader after her Dark Jade Skeleton was defeated by Zhao Feng.


    In the air, the clash of the two Sovereign Lords caused soul-shaking explosions.


    ¡°What¡­?¡±


    The situation below made the expression of the Metal Triangle Pirate captain change.


    One of the main reasons that he dared to threaten the elder in the shirt was due to the fact he had powerful subordinates, and now this advantage was destroyed by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. Looks like I was correct in choosing that brat.¡±


    The Third Elder from the Gan Cloud Pavilion had a red face and laughed as he became more aggressive in his attacks.


    He couldn¡¯t help but think that he had gambled correctly. Before they teamed up, the elder only sensed that Zhao Feng was not simple. He didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng would give him such a big surprise.


    With the death of the black-veiled woman, the result was already clear.


    ¡°Purple Destruction Wind Lightning Whip!¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his half-step True Yuan and condensed a faint purple whip of wind and lightning, which radiated an aura of Destruction as it flashed throughout the air.


    The Purple Destruction Wind Lightning Whip attacked the male Sovereign from behind, forming a pincer attack with the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader laughed and increased his offense, forcing the nasty-looking male to cough out blood.


    The nasty-looking man started to panic. He wasn¡¯t even the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s match in a one-on-one, let alone now.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s assistance soon forced the male into despair.


    Whoosh!


    The Purple Destruction Wind Lightning Whip sealed all the male¡¯s escape routes. He fell into the whip of Wind Lightning, then was cut in two by the flaming bone giant that was the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Hahahaha! Good job!¡±


    The elder in the air laughed gloatingly, whereas the expression of the Metal Triangle Pirate captain was filled with cold killing intent as he looked at Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader.


    Because of those two, not only would he not get any part of the whale, he also had heavy losses.


    Sou! Sou!


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader then charged toward the captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates in the air after killing the two Sovereigns.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡±


    The captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates snickered coldly as he released his Great Origin Core Realm aura. The aura of a Great Origin Core Realm would restrict and limit the power of normal Sovereigns.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Spear!¡±


    Zhao Feng summoned the true version of his Ice Imperial Spear. An ancient blue spear that glinted beautifully in the light appeared.


    Now that Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline had become much purer on top of his new half-step Origin Core Realm cultivation, he could easily summon the true version of the Ice Imperial Spear.


    Furthermore, its strength had started to awaken after absorbing the aura of the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Bam~~~~~


    The Ice Imperial Spear released a forbidden cold power that froze all physical objects nearby.


    Wham! Wham!


    The purposely created shockwave from the captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates was also turned into ice by the Ice Imperial Spear, which then shattered into pieces.


    Without a doubt, after breaking through, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had risen dramatically. He could now use more of the Ice Imperial Spear¡¯s power.


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Zhao Feng pointed, and a phantom of the spear shot out toward the Metal Triangle Pirate captain, causing the area to freeze.


    ¡°Limitless Sky Extreme Demonic Stab!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader also stabbed out with its Earth-Grade weapon, which seemed to break through space as it attacked the captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates from the other side.


    Even a Great Origin Core Realm couldn¡¯t ignore the combined attack of two unusual Earth-Grade weapons.


    Crack! Boom~~~~~


    The power of the two Earth-Grade weapons was pushed back by the dark iron blades around the captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates.


    Under normal situations, he wouldn¡¯t put Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader in his eyes, even if they attacked together. However, there was another Great Origin Core Realm elder attacking as well.


    The force of the Ice Imperial Spear phantom exploding slowed down his speed, and the Nine Deadly Yin Bone of the skeletal Division Leader weakened his defense.


    These small effects couldn¡¯t be ignored. It could be enough to break the balance with the other Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°An Earth-Grade weapon almost at the middle tier and an inheritance Earth-Grade weapon¡­.¡±


    The Metal Triangle Pirate captain felt unresigned. Even though he was a Great Origin Core Realm, his Earth-Grade weapon wasn¡¯t even as good as the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s.


    At the same time, the shirt-wearing elder laughed as he used a secret technique that pierced through the weakness of the Metal Triangle Pirate captain.


    Boom!


    The clash of the two Sovereign Lords created shockwaves, which blew Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader away.


    ¡°They are at the Great Origin Core Realm after all¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader could clearly feel the difference between them and the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Blood started to drip from the mouth of the Metal Triangle Pirates captain. He glanced at Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader with hatred, yet their attacks only got stronger.


    Boom! Boom! Bam~~~~


    The three Sovereigns continued to attack the Metal Triangle Pirate captain.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    The captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates gritted his teeth. He looked at Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader with deadly eyes, ¡°Brat, you better not let me see you again.¡±


    The captain of the Metal Triangle Pirates covered the other pirates¡¯ retreat.


    After chasing them for several thousand miles, the captain of the pirates was quite injured, but the shirt-wearing elder didn¡¯t dare to force him too far, so he gave up.


    He was still thinking about the value of the limitless ocean whale.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    The smile of the elder was extremely wide, and the three soon returned to the location of the whale.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader landed on the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°We won?¡±


    The pretty woman said joyfully as she looked at Zhao Feng with admiration. Zhao Feng played a huge part in helping to defeat the Metal Triangle Pirates.


    ¡°Little friend, thank you for your help. If you want anything, just ask.¡±


    The shirt-wearing elder smiled and said.


    He admired a genius like Zhao Feng and was curious about the latter¡¯s background. The background of such a person surely wouldn¡¯t be simple. Ignoring everything else, the two of them both had an unusual Earth-Grade weapon.


    ¡°Senior, if you didn¡¯t help us, we would¡¯ve died in the stomach of the limitless ocean whale within a couple days.¡±


    Zhao Feng said gratefully. Not only did he not ask for anything, he even gave all of the whale to the elder.


    ¡°We don¡¯t want any part of the whale. That can be the repayment for Senior saving our lives.¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke in an honest tone.


    The elder and the two youths felt slightly embarrassed and tried to persuade him. After all, Zhao Feng played a huge role and still didn¡¯t want any cut of the whale.


    ¡°The background of this youth is definitely not simple. He most likely comes from a two-star sect, or he might even be related to one of the Spiritual Sacred Lands.¡±


    The elder sighed as he watched the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship sail away.


    ¡°I probably won¡¯t be able to see such a genius in my life again¡­.¡±


    Disappointment appeared on the female¡¯s face and she sighed in her heart.


    In their clan, she was a prodigy ¨C a genius only seen once in a hundred years. Yet, from beginning till end, that youth didn¡¯t even look at her properly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±


    The elder led the pair of youths and started to dissect the body of the limitless ocean whale. Because the body of the whale was too big, the three decided to just start with the most valuable part in case something happened.


    A while later, the elder entered the inside of the whale.


    ¡°Hmm? Why can¡¯t I see the heart of the whale?¡±


    The elder was puzzled.


    Blood flowed from an area that was covered in ice, and the area had several cut-marks


    ¡°This should be where the heart is at.¡±


    The expression of the elder changed. His heart started beating quickly as an uneasy thought appeared in his mind.


    He waved his hand and circulated his True Yuan to melt the nearby ice.


    The ice covered the size of a small palace, and it was obvious that something had been dug out by someone.


    ¡°Could it be¡­?¡±


    Hatred appeared on the elder¡¯s face.


    In the next instant:


    Boom! Shuu~~~~~~


    Blood sprayed everywhere, inundating the elder. After all, he was currently where the heart would¡¯ve been; as soon as the ice was melted, all the blocked blood suddenly came spraying everywhere like a flood.


    A while later:


    Whoosh!


    A ruffled elder drenched in blood jumped out of the body of the whale.


    ¡°Motherfucking brat~~~~!¡±


    A cold voice full of anger resounded across the ocean, and an aura of a Great Origin Core Realm was released.

 584 Heart Blood Essence

    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship travelled across the limitless ocean with its fastest speed for about ten or twenty thousand miles before diving into the depths of the ocean.


    Zhao Feng then ordered the ship to slightly change direction and dive even deeper.


    Without having precise coordinates, finding a ship was like finding a needle in the ocean. Furthermore, this particular ship specialized in stealth.


    Within the ship, Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    ¡°Master, if we use the ghost-corpse Cursed Array, we have nothing to fear from a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said, but Zhao Feng shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s best not to cause too much trouble.¡±


    Ever since he injured Lord Hu Suo, the intent of Death within him became stronger. He didn¡¯t want to fight any more Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords head-on, so he simply ran away.


    The clash from before also showed that there was an obvious difference between the skeletal Division Leader, Zhao Feng, and a Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, here¡¯s that thing you wanted.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and gave the pile of broken Dark Jade Skeleton bones to the skeletal Division Leader. This pile of bones came from a Sovereign skeleton.


    ¡°These bones have been fused with Mystic Dark Crystal Bone and a few other rare treasures.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was overjoyed. It was hard to find even a piece or two of Mystic Dark Crystal Bone in the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°Thank you, Master. With this Mystic Dark Crystal Bone, my bones will become even stronger.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader immediately entered seclusion after receiving the resources.


    The Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl was extremely suitable for ghost-corpses and those that cultivated bone-strengthening. Now that the skeletal Division Leader no longer needed to craft ghost-corpses, it had more time to cultivate.


    Zhao Feng started to think. The skeletal Division Leader was still under his control, so raising its strength was fine.


    Furthermore, he had the Ancient Dream Realm to help him, as well as a large amount of resources from the Purple Saint Ruins. In terms of cultivation speed, he wouldn¡¯t be any slower than the skeletal Division Leader.


    On top of that, they just got the heart blood essence of the limitless ocean whale, which increased one¡¯s foundation and state of existence.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng felt a powerful Great Origin Core Realm aura appear above before it flashed away. It seemed to be from the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion.


    A thousand miles away in the limitless ocean:


    ¡°You better not let me catch you, brat.¡±


    The elder wearing the shirt flew across the ocean with the two juniors. The two youths didn¡¯t dare to say anything as they felt the boiling anger of a Great Origin Core Realm.


    However, the elder knew that the chance of finding a single ship in the limitless ocean was slim to none.


    Sou!


    The Great Origin Core Realm aura flew further and further away.


    Within the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, in the depths of the ocean, Zhao Feng and company sweated coldly. They were almost found by the elder.


    Several hours later, the Blue Lightning Sea Ship had travelled some distance and there were no signs of trouble. Zhao Feng felt that it was time to let the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship return to the surface and start flying.


    ¡°Captain, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship has been eroded by the sticky acid from the limitless ocean whale¡¯s body for several months. The hull has been damaged, resulting in slower speed and weaker defense.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui reported. This was concluded after giving the ship an all-round checkup.


    ¡°Can we fix it?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. The ship was already slow, and if they didn¡¯t fix the damage, it would only get worse and slow down even more.


    ¡°The ship is a type of machine that requires arrays, blacksmiths, and the Laws of Metal. Even if we have the resources, we can¡¯t fix it.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui shook her head.


    Some of the sailors weren¡¯t actually professional sailors, but they had finally come close to being real sailors after using this period of time to train. However, it would be hard for them to repair the ship.


    ¡°We need to find an island and a blacksmith to fix it.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui suggested.


    ¡°Looks like that¡¯s the only thing we can do.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed helplessly. The destination he was heading toward was extremely far away; without the help of a ship, it would waste a lot of time that he could use to cultivate.


    Therefore, it was better to just spend some time to repair the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°I can use this chance to increase the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship¡¯s speed as well.¡±


    Zhao Feng decided. This meant that Zhao Feng needed to find an island similar to the Eight Desolate Island in the Thousand Flowing Islands Zone and upgrade the ship.


    ¡°Thousand Flowing Islands Zone¡­¡±


    A map surfaced in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. The size of the Thousand Flowing Islands Zone was much bigger than the Tianlu Islands Zone.


    There seemed to be three island zones nearby and seven or eight small islands the size of the Eight Desolate Mountain scattered about.


    ¡°Hmm¡­. Void Ocean Spiritual Palace?¡±


    Zhao Feng found a unique existence called the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, which had a different symbol than all the others.


    ¡°Void Ocean Spiritual Palace? What¡¯s that?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked Loulan Zhishui, but she said that she hadn¡¯t heard of it before either.


    It was one of the old sailors that replied, ¡°The legendary Void Ocean Spiritual Palace?¡±


    The old sailor soon gave them information about the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace was a high rank market and a small-sized restocking point.


    ¡°Apparently, the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace has a supreme status within the limitless ocean because its controlled by the Spiritual Sacred Lands. Putting aside pirates, even one- and two-star sects don¡¯t dare to offend it¡­.¡±


    The knowledge of the old sailor was limited.


    _Spiritual Sacred Lands?_


    Zhao Feng instantly understood that the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace definitely wasn¡¯t a normal market.


    There were only three Spiritual Sacred Lands throughout the Cang Ocean: the True Martial Sacred Land, the Floating Dream Sacred Land, and the Ten Thousand Woods Sacred Land.


    Spiritual Sacred Lands were places that surpassed normal island zones, and they apparently even had three-star forces.


    No wonder the Purple Saint Partial Spirit put a special mark on the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    ¡°Then our destination will be the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. We¡¯ll try our luck there.¡±


    Zhao Feng confirmed the route.


    With their current speed, they would need about ten days to reach it.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng sat down and merged his consciousness into his interspatial ring and found the heart of the whale.


    ¡°The heart of the whale will lose its energy if its left out for too long. I need to take out the heart blood essence as soon as possible.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed.


    Half a day later, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship entered a quiet part of the ocean, and Zhao Feng looked around to make sure that there were no powerful beasts nearby.


    He then took out the enormous heart and started to harvest the heart blood essence.


    The skeletal Division Leader, the little thieving cat, Loulan Zhishui, and the other sailors all helped. After all, the state of being of the whale that died was close to the Void God Realm, so it contained a lot of heart blood essence.


    Another half a day later, the heart blood essence was successfully harvested and stored within a dark green gourd. This gourd was found by Zhao Feng in the scorpion cave the first time he entered the Purple Saint Ruins.


    The gourd was a unique item that could keep items fresh, including eroding acids. It could even store souls. Apparently, a Void God Realm King had put his soul into the gourd and stole a body a hundred years later.


    Di! Da!


    The heart blood essence was soon safely stored in the gourd. The gourd kept the items inside fresh, so Zhao Feng relaxed, knowing that the heart blood essence was stored in it.


    He then put the last drop of the Elixir of Life into the gourd as well.


    At this moment, everyone looked toward the gourd with fiery hot eyes.


    ¡°Everyone can have a bowl, and the vice-captain can have a barrel.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly. He estimated that the amount of heart blood essence could fill up a small room.


    ¡°Thank you, Captain!¡±


    Loulan Zhishui and company were all extremely grateful. The heart blood essence was a legendary item.


    Furthermore, the state of existence of the whale that they took it from surpassed normal limitless ocean whales. The already legendary heart blood essence would be a superior-quality item.


    Even one bowl of the stuff could transform one anew after scrubbing it all over their body. They could also dilute it and use it multiple times.


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s state of being and foundation would rise drastically after using a barrel of heart blood essence.


    The skeletal Division Leader also received a barrel, and its bones would strengthen even more after using it in conjunction with the Mystic Dark Crystal Bone.


    ¡°Captain, if you have any extra heart blood essence, you can merge it into the ship and make the ship¡¯s aura become closer to the ocean. At the same time, the aura will frighten off other beasts.¡±


    An old sailor suggested.


    ¡°I¡¯ll think about it.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. That suggestion could be carried out when they repaired the ship.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng soaked in a barrel of heart blood essence, and a warm sensation came from his blood and bones.


    As time passed, the warm feeling became stronger and stronger until it became scorching hot.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng¡¯s body, including his organs, was completely cleansed. Even though his body had already reached the level of a Sovereign, he could still feel the pain and pressure from the heart blood essence.


    At the same time, he could feel his state of being become cleansed as well, and a numbing sensation passed through his body.


    If it was a normal True Lord Rank that soaked in an entire barrel of heart blood essence, their bones and flesh would be ripped apart, and they might even die.


    Luckily, the sailors all used diluted heart blood essence, or they used just a small quantity.


    It could be said that everyone was affected by the heart blood essence, but those with weaker foundations and cultivations received a better effect.

 585 Right in Fron

    Zhao Feng bathed in the heart blood essence, motionless as he absorbed it.


    In just a short span of three days, he felt that his body and state of existence had both increased.


    At this moment, every inch of his body contained a powerful aura, and his senses were sharper.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat leaned on Zhao Feng and absorbed some heart blood essence as well.


    Di! Da!


    The barrel of heart blood essence was soon completely absorbed.


    ¡°So fast?¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. A barrel of heart blood essence was enough for the sailors to use for several months, and the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s absorbing speed was only one third of his.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as he looked at the little thieving cat.


    Although it was small, at least one half of the heart blood essence was absorbed by it. Furthermore, the little thieving cat would absorb the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm as well.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng went into the Ancient Dream Realm once more.


    This time, he managed to break his record of lasting ten breaths due to the fact that he had been cleansed by the heart blood essence.


    The stronger one¡¯s body, the longer one could last in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Nine breaths¡­ ten breaths¡­ eleven breaths.


    Zhao Feng continued to extend his new record.


    ¡°What kind of dimension _is_ this? Are there any live beings here?¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think about this world.


    Every grain of sand contained immense power, and Zhao Feng used his eyes to inspect the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Below his feet was the earth, he could see big trees in the distance, and there seemed to the sounds of birds screeching and a river flowing.


    ¡°Could there actually be other beings in here?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook.


    It was hard to imagine how strong any beings in the Ancient Dream Realm would be.


    Twelve breaths¡­ thirteen breaths¡­ fifteen breaths.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng managed to last fifteen breaths before spitting out a mouthful of blood.


    Back in the ship:


    ¡°I¡¯ve improved a lot.¡±


    Zhao Feng was satisfied as he wiped the blood from his mouth.


    He then quickly absorbed the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm. In the real world, as he stayed in the Ancient Dream Realm, his body would be filled with its aura.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat excitedly absorbed the Ancient Dream Realm aura as well.


    Di! Da!


    The human and the cat soaked in heart blood essence and absorbed the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm together.


    ¡°My state of being and body are strong even compared to normal Sovereigns. They¡¯re actually close to a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    When he had finished a barrel of the heart blood essence, two of the sailors hadn¡¯t even finished one fifth of their bowl of heart blood essence. However, even then, those sailors¡¯ body and state of existence had improved drastically; because their starting point was low, the heart blood essence had a greater effect on them.


    One of the sailors that was at the late-stage True Lord Rank had only used one tenth the amount of heart blood essence that Zhao Feng used, and his state of existence and body were already approaching the peak True Lord Rank.


    ¡°If this continues, some of the sailors¡¯ state of existence will be able to reach the half-step Origin Core Realm within a year.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue.


    State of existence wasn¡¯t the same as cultivation; it was considered to be a type of foundation. The stronger one¡¯s foundation, the more potential they would have.


    The weaker the state of existence of the user, the greater the effect of something like heart blood essence. On the other hand, if one¡¯s state of existence was already extremely high, such as a peak Great Origin Core Realm, the effect of heart blood essence would be extremely small. And if a Void God Realm expert used it, there might be no effect at all.


    For the next six or seven days, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat used two more barrels of heart blood essence, and they entered the Ancient Dream Realm again as well.


    This time, Zhao Feng managed to last twenty breaths.


    _Looks like my state of existence has increased even more. After I can manage to last a hundred breaths, I¡¯ll try to walk around._


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Currently, he could just barely manage to stand inside this mysterious dimension. The pressure here made it hard for him to complete any other actions.


    He didn¡¯t even dare to try walking yet. It was like a person carrying a large rock; although they might barely manage to hold it, it was very likely that the rock would make them fall if they tried to walk with it.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng set a goal for himself. Once he reached the time limit of a hundred breaths, he would try walking around the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Sou!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship flew across the limitless ocean.


    Ten days had passed since they received the heart blood essence. The effect on the sailors exceeded Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat. Apart from that, the skeletal Division Leader also absorbed the heart blood essence and the Mystic Dark Crystal Bone, and its strength had also increased dramatically.


    ¡°Master, I will probably need to enter seclusion for two or three months to try to break through to the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice sounded.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. He didn¡¯t think that the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s strength had increased by so much that it would try to break through to the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm already.


    He didn¡¯t try to stop it. In fact, he gave the skeletal Division Leader another barrel of heart blood essence.


    ¡°Captain, the ship¡¯s damage has been getting worse, and it¡¯s slowing down after flying for so long.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui reported.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship had to be fixed as quickly as possible.


    ¡°Luckily, we only need another day or two to reach the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui added.


    ¡°Void Ocean Spiritual Palace¡­ don¡¯t disappoint me¡­.¡±


    The map of the Thousand Flowing Islands zone appeared in his mind, and there was only one Void Ocean Spiritual Palace in the entire island zone.


    The Tianlu Islands zone and the Azure Islands zone, where the Azure Flower Continent was located, also only had one.


    The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace was marked with a unique symbol, and it was even more important than some islands.


    Of course, the most eye-catching part of the Cang Ocean was the three Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    ¡°Hmm? These lines¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng found that a few of the lines on the map intersected with one another. For example, the three Spiritual Sacred Lands all had a line between them, forming a triangle.


    Apart from that, there were some unique places that also had these lines.


    ¡°True Martial Sacred Land.¡±


    Zhao Feng found that there was a small faint red line with a red cross in the middle located between the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace and the True Martial Sacred Land.


    Right as he was inspecting the map, the danger in his heart surged and became much clearer than before. The aura from the Eye of Death within his soul jumped.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng felt his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye thump as well, and he couldn¡¯t help but take in a deep breath.


    ¡°The danger is closer than before¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng obviously knew what this meant.


    Under normal situations, the dangerous sensation would become weaker when he was in the depths of the ocean or in the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Zhao Feng guessed that the danger was related to distance. If he was in a special place, the dangerous feeling would be affected.


    At the same time, on the other side of the limitless ocean, a cold, black metallic ship was sailing across the ocean.


    In terms of size, it was a hundred times larger than the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, and it was a hundred times faster as well.


    Whoosh!


    The black ship radiated a terrifying aura of Death that blotted out the sky.


    Wherever this ship of death sailed, all the beasts, pirates, and businessmen within the ocean trembled.


    ¡°Watch out, it¡¯s the Ship of Death¡­.¡±


    A Void God Realm expert from a two-star sect nearby warned as he sensed it.


    Within an old cabin on the ship:


    ¡°Aye, although we saved a lot of time by using the teleportation array of the Ten Thousand Woods Sacred Land to reach the True Martial Sacred Land, the journey is still long.¡±


    A youth sighed. He was utterly bored.


    ¡°The True Martial Sacred Land is very fun. Why don¡¯t you take me around to play more?¡±


    The white-eyed little girl said.


    Their tall and short figures stepped out of the room and onto the deck of the ship.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let you play as much as you want after the mission. If we don¡¯t complete this mission, all of Master¡¯s hard work will have been done for nothing.¡±


    The youth said.


    ¡°Mission?¡±


    The white-eyed little girl paused.


    Although her cultivation hadn¡¯t changed much, her state of existence had reached the True Lord Rank and was suited the environment of the limitless ocean.


    The warm youth¡¯s eyes landed on the girl with curiosity.


    The Emperor of Death had more than two disciples, but the warm youth had never seen his Master so lax with any of his disciples, giving them so many resources but no cultivation technique.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The white-eyed little girl bit her lips and held a brush as if drawing something.


    The warm youth glanced at it and saw the white-eyed little girl trying to draw some sort of beast of the ocean.


    ¡°Senior Martial Brother, if we complete the mission, you¡¯ll take me to play right?¡±


    The white-eyed little girl asked naively.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    The warm youth smiled and gave off a righteous feeling. He even used his hand to gently tap the little girl¡¯s nose.


    ¡°Hmph, I hope you¡¯ll do what you say you will.¡±


    The little girl gave the drawing to the youth.


    ¡°This is¡­?¡±


    The youth looked at the drawing in his hand.


    The drawing wasn¡¯t done very nicely, but he could still tell that there was a limitless ocean whale that had died.


    The thing was though, the heart of this limitless ocean whale was missing.


    ¡°Limitless ocean whale!¡±


    The eyes of the warm youth sparkled as he glanced deeply toward the little girl.


    ¡°Bring the map and show me where there are limitless ocean whales within these few dozen island zone. We will then find the corpse of a limitless ocean whale whose heart has been taken out.¡±

 586 Void Ocean Spiritual Palace

    Two days later, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was now much slower than ever before as it approached its destination.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng opened his eyes and wiped the blood from his mouth once more. The little thieving cat sat on his shoulder and absorbed the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Over the past dozen days, Zhao Feng used three barrels of heart blood essence, and he entered the Ancient Dream Realm several times.


    His state of existence and body improved dramatically after using the heart blood essence. His state of existence was now almost comparable to a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord, and his bloodline power had also become purer because of it.


    Of course, that was also because of the Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    The little thieving cat also benefited, but Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t see any difference in the cat.


    ¡°My state of existence and body are my strongest attributes now. My soul power and mental energy come after that, both comparable to the Small Origin Core Realm. At the bottom is my cultivation.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt weird. In the past, he specialized in mental energy, and his body didn¡¯t have any advantage against anyone else, but now, his state of existence and body had surpassed both his cultivation and his soul power.


    However, the path of cultivation was about increasing one¡¯s state of existence.


    The nine ranks of the Consolidated Realm to the seven skies of the Ascended Realm focused on strengthening one¡¯s body and digging out one¡¯s potential.


    The Ascended Realm to the True Spirit Realm was a dramatic rise in one¡¯s state of existence, and one could then truly interact with Heaven and Earth. Once one reached the True Spirit Realm, they would exceed the lifespan of mortals and live up to two or three hundred years old.


    The True Spirit Realm to the Origin Core Realm was about becoming one with nature. One¡¯s lifeforce and strength would rise dramatically. According to what Zhao Feng knew, an Origin Core Realm could live up to between 500 and 800 years old.


    Although he didn¡¯t have the cultivation of an Origin Core Realm, his lifeforce and body were almost comparable to a Great Origin Core Realm already, which meant that he could live for several hundred more years.


    ¡°Captain, according to your map, we should almost be there¡­.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s voice sounded. Zhao Feng walked out onto the deck and gazed into the distance.


    Although the mark on the map was small, it was extremely big in reality.


    For example, according to the map, they were within a couple dozen thousand of miles within the radius of the Void Ocean Spiritual Ocean. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and made the sailors scout instead.


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship slowly passed through the ocean.


    Whoosh!


    At a certain moment, a Sovereign aura flew over their heads, and all the sailors became wary.


    The newcomer was a purple-robed middle-aged man who paused slightly when his gaze landed on the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, but he soon flew away.


    Another period of time later:


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    A half-step Origin Core Realm and two peak True Lord Ranks travelled together in a certain direction.


    ¡°Apparently, geniuses from the True Martial Sacred Land easily defeated several Core disciples from the Luozhen Sect, including one of the Six Youth Prodigies, Pu Yingyun.¡±


    ¡°Luozhen Sect? That¡¯s one of the five two-star sects in the Thousand Flowing Islands zone, and each of the Six Youth Prodigies have a cultivation at the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    ¡°I heard that Pu Yingyun couldn¡¯t even block three blows.¡±


    The speed of the three travelers wasn¡¯t fast, and they talked along the way. Their gaze landed on the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, but they kept flying.


    ¡°Follow those three.¡±


    Zhao Feng had the lifeforce and body almost comparable to a Great Origin Core Realm, so even if he didn¡¯t purposely try, he could hear everything within ten miles.


    _Let¡¯s go!_


    After the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship confirmed the direction, the sailors increased the speed.


    Whoosh!


    A limitless ocean ship about the same size as the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship flew over.


    ¡°Hmm? Isn¡¯t that a pirate ship?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze landed on the dozens of fierce figures on the ship. They looked nasty, and they obviously weren¡¯t normal sailors.


    On the ship was a one-eyed Sovereign who stood on the deck.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The one-eyed captain glanced toward the ship below and revealed a weird expression. He inspected it with his Spiritual Sense and found that the ship was made of good-quality materials, and the captain was only a youth at the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    Furthermore, from the looks of it, the ship seemed to be made for pirates.


    ¡°Boss, should we attack?¡±


    A one-armed pirate laughed gruesomely.


    ¡°We¡¯re about to enter the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. There¡¯s many experts around, so it¡¯s best not to cause trouble.¡±


    The one-eyed pirate captain sighed regretfully and shook his head.


    Hu~~~~


    The pirate ship flew over Zhao Feng¡¯s head and the figures laughed, causing Zhao Feng to be surprised. From the looks of it, all sorts of people traveled to the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    After flying another thousand miles, more and more experts and ships appeared. It wasn¡¯t rare to see a Sovereign, and there was an occasional aura from a Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Look!¡±


    A sailor exclaimed.


    A ball of blue light appeared in front, and it became bigger and bigger as it glowed with a brilliant radiance.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Many figures nearby headed toward the ball of light with their ships.


    As they got closer, the ball of blue light became bigger and clearer, revealing the structure of a palace. The outside layer of the palace seemed to be a wall, so it was a mixture between a palace and a castle.


    The layer of blue light seemed to be the ¡°inland layer,¡± similar to the one around the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    ¡°So, that¡¯s the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace?¡±


    Zhao Feng and company inspected it closely as they stood on the deck of their ship.


    Whoosh!


    The nearby experts all flew into the ball of blue light. It was different from the Eight Desolate Mountain because the blue light only had a few specific entrances that one could enter.


    From the looks of it, the palace only had a radius of several hundred yards, but its true size would be much bigger.


    Zhao Feng and company soon entered the ball of blue light. Zhao Feng had a weird feeling as he passed through it, then he felt a surge of dense Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Shua!


    The palace became bigger and bigger, revealing another world.


    ¡°This is a palace?¡±


    Zhao Feng and company were dumbfounded. Instead of a palace, it should be called the Void Ocean Spiritual City instead.


    Void Ocean Spiritual Palace: four words that glittered with gold were carved on the palace, which released an aura that stunned gods and ghosts alike.


    ¡°The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace is indeed not simple.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a pressure on his soul as he looked at the words. The higher one¡¯s mental energy level, the stronger the feeling.


    He was sure that the writer of these words was at least at the Void God Realm.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The experts that gathered all took out a token before walking through the entrance of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    At the entrance was a total of eight Small Origin Core Realms that released powerful auras, stunning those that dared to try to enter stealthily.


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    Zhao Feng put the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship away and made the sailors follow him.


    ¡°Captain, we need to have a special token to enter.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui said.


    There was a side-hall near the entrance that was responsible for the tokens, and when Zhao Feng and company arrived, there was already a long line.


    ¡°One Void Ocean Token costs a hundred high-grade Primal Crystal Stones, and an extra ten for each day you stay.¡±


    An old man with a long beard said impatiently.


    ¡°Ten high-grade Primal Crystal Stones for one day? This is robbery!¡±


    ¡°Ten high-grade Primal Crystal Stones is comparable to a hundred thousand low-grade Primal Crystal Stones, which can be exchanged for ten million substandard Primal Crystal Stones.¡±


    Several True Lord Ranks said in dissatisfaction.


    In the outside world, the standard was low-grade Primal Crystal Stones. As for substandard Primal Crystal Stones, they were limited to usage in small places.


    Primal Crystal Stones were split into several grades: low, mid, high, and peak.


    A hundred high-grade Primal Crystal Stones was equivalent to ten thousand mid-grade Primal Crystal Stones, a million low-grade Primal Crystal Stones, or one hundred million substandard Primal Crystal Stones.


    ¡°The entrance fee is pretty expensive. Just the Void Ocean Token alone is a hundred high-grade Primal Crystal Stones.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui and the other sailors felt weak.


    Of course, a hundred million low-grade Primal Crystal Stones wasn¡¯t too big of a sum for True Lord Ranks. The salary Zhao Feng gave them every month surpassed that amount, but this was just the entrance fee.


    ¡°Hmph, what do you know? The Void Ocean Token is worth more than a hundred high-grade Primal Crystal Stones, and it can be used at every Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. The spiritual palace is a separate dimension created by one person, and the amount of Primal Crystal Stones expended each day is enough to buy a half-star clan.¡±


    The bearded old man snickered coldly.


    Although these newbies thought that the price was unfair, they still bought it.


    ¡°Eleven people.¡±


    Zhao Feng got straight to the point.


    ¡°Eleven?¡±


    The bearded man glanced over them and only saw ten, but he didn¡¯t say anything else.


    Zhao Feng, Loulan Zhishui, and eight sailors.


    Each token was an identity. All one needed to do was enter a name or nickname. It didn¡¯t have to be one¡¯s true name. The eleventh token was prepared for the skeletal Division Leader, and Zhao Feng put the nickname ¡°Skeleton¡± into the token.


    At the same time, he paid for two months¡¯ time of stay.


    The bearded old man couldn¡¯t help but look at Zhao Feng in surprise. A normal expert couldn¡¯t easily pay for almost a dozen tokens and two months of stay.


    The people lining up couldn¡¯t help but look at Zhao Feng in a new light.


    After getting the tokens, Zhao Feng led the group and walked through the main entrance of the palace.


    Sou! Sou! Sou~~~


    The ten soon entered the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, and a busy world came into sight.

 587 Enemies Mee

    The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace looked like a glowing blue crystal from the outside, but once one entered it, they would realize that the inside was a magnificent city.


    In fact, the Spiritual Palace was much bigger than it seemed. It was even bigger than the Canopy Great Country.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Multiple colorful figures flashed throughout the city, including flying beasts and ships of different sizes.


    The bigger ones were more than ten times bigger than the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship and could fit several hundred people.


    In Zhao Feng and company¡¯s vision, they could see plenty of halls and heavily guarded buildings. Apart from that, there were also various shops both big and small.


    There were also individual stands, and the sellers were experts from all across the world.


    The busy areas were full of noise and people.


    The entire area of the giant Spiritual Palace city was surrounded by forests and streams. One could also see the limitless ocean outside.


    The sailors watched everything with blazing eyes.


    ¡°The inner part of the Spiritual Palace is even bigger than the Purple Saint Ruins.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt an aura similar to the Purple Saint Ruins here. The two were somewhat related with one another; they were both man-made dimensions, not naturally created.


    There was also an obvious difference; the Purple Saint Ruins was a sealed dimension meant for inheritances and could run on its own. It didn¡¯t need Primal Crystal Stones or anything. On the other hand, the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace was more of a miniature landmass that was connected to the outside world and needed a huge amount of resources to maintain.


    As long as there were enough Primal Crystal Stones, the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace could run indefinitely.


    Of course, regardless of the differences, the ability to create dimensions was still incredible.


    ¡°The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here is several times better than the Eight Desolate Mountain. It¡¯s probably comparable to the three sects¡­.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s eyes were filled with shock as she took the view into her eyes. The Spiritual Palace was extremely bustling, and it was several times more advanced than the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    Simply put, this was a high-tier market where all the experts gathered.


    ¡°Captain, this seems to be your first time entering the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, right? If you need anything, I, Xiao Ma, can help you and will promise you that everything will go smoothly.¡±


    A respectful voice sounded.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s footsteps stopped as he inspected a youth dressed like a scholar. The youth was riding a snow-white pegasus and had clear eyes as he bowed and smiled.


    His gaze didn¡¯t land on any other Sovereigns or experts, only Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Xiao Ma? What¡¯s your price?¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured this youth¡¯s name with interest. Xiao Ma¡¯s age was similar to his own, and he had the cultivation of a late-stage True Lord Rank.


    However, that wasn¡¯t what caused Zhao Feng¡¯s interest.


    The youth who called himself Xiao Ma seemed to make a living on showing people around.


    ¡°Xiao Ma is my nickname. If Captain has come to the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, it must mean you need something. I can guide you. As for the fee¡­ that all depends on what the Captain wants to reward me.¡±


    The youth smiled and bowed while glancing at the young captain out of the corner of his eyes.


    In reality, this Xiao Ma was also uneasy and nervous. Although this guest wasn¡¯t an Origin Core Realm, instinct told him that this person was rich.


    Xiao Ma had already locked his eyes onto the young captain when he bought all the Void Ocean Tokens.


    ¡°Alright, we both get what we want.¡±


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment, ¡°As for your reward, it depends on how many benefits you can bring me.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Xiao Ma let out a long breath in his heart.


    ¡°Captain, may I ask why you came to the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace? I can help you with anything you want.¡±


    Xiao Ma wiped the sweat off his head and followed closely behind Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Take me around first.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t immediately answer and acted calmly.


    ¡°Alright, follow me.¡±


    Xiao Ma warmly introduced the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace to Zhao Feng and company.


    Tall, elegant buildings came into view, and most of them had guards around them.


    ¡°My Lord, look, the markets here all have guards around them since they¡¯re exchanges run by the officials. They include over 90% of the exchanges, such as techniques, spiritual pills, resources, beasts, weapons, ships, guards, shops¡­.¡±


    Xiao Ma started to explain.


    ¡°Officials?¡±


    Zhao Feng realized that the guards were protecting buildings that belonged to the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. More precisely, that belonged to the Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    ¡°The marketplace of these exchanges is very fair and there is no trickery of any kind. However, the price is slightly higher than the market value.¡±


    Xiao Ma added.


    After that, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes landed on the private shops that had no guards.


    ¡°Those shops can include different sorts of items, and some exchanges aren¡¯t smaller than those run by the officials. There are many big forces and backgrounds behind those shops, including even some two-star sects.¡±


    Xiao Ma continued.


    While they flew, they passed through beautiful sceneries.


    ¡°These small stands are free markets. They¡¯re chaotic and of lower quality, but the advantage is that one can do whatever they want.¡±


    The group came to the free market.


    The free market was filled with shouts and bargaining, like a true marketplace. Most of the parties bargaining were at the True Lord Rank, but there were also quite a few half-step Origin Core Realms and Small Origin Core Realms.


    There were even a couple Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords that entered to test their luck.


    ¡°Hehe, if one is lucky, they can buy divine weapons for a cheap price.¡±


    Xiao Ma laughed.


    ¡°There are different sorts of people here, and it¡¯s filled with chaos. How can someone get a good treasure here?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui asked incredulously. Her gaze landed on the bigger exchanges and shops.


    ¡°What this lady said is incorrect.¡±


    Xiao Ma shook his head and spoke in a mysterious tone, ¡°Ten years ago, a Sovereign Lord bought half a piece of an ancient item ¨C the Heaven Heart Divine Pendant ¨C for only a hundred high-grade Primal Crystal Stones. Its value surpassed mere Primal Crystal Stones. The Sovereign then used that half of the Heaven Heart Divine Pendant and cultivated for many years, breaking through to the Void God Realm, shocking many island zones nearby and even the Spiritual Sacred Lands.¡±


    An item of the Ancient Era, the Heaven Heart Divine Pendant.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. He didn¡¯t think that there was such a unique item here.


    The earliest era in this world was the Ancient Era. After that came the Immemorial Era, then the Atavistic Era, then the current Fan Universe.


    The Ancient Era was the closest era to the destruction of the ancient continent, which was filled with legends.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and glanced around with its eyes.


    ¡°Hmm? What¡¯s that place?¡±


    Some of the sailors turned toward an arena that was bigger than one in the Azure Flower Continent by more than ten times. The enormous arena took up several hundred miles. The middle was the arena proper while spectators sat around and watched.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Void Ocean Arena set up by the Spiritual Palace officials. There¡¯s friendly sparring, as well as gambling, and even life-or-death battles to settle disputes.¡±


    Xiao Ma smiled and said.


    At this moment, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi started to shake within the arena.


    ¡°A battle between Sovereigns.¡±


    Zhao Feng could only sense the aura within the arena, but he couldn¡¯t see the specifics.


    ¡°Two geniuses from the True Martial Sacred Land entered the arena a couple days ago, causing the arena to rise in popularity. The entrance fee for one day alone has made the arena take in a huge amount¡­.¡±


    Xiao Ma sighed.


    __


    _Geniuses from the True Martial Sacred Land?_


    Loulan Zhishui and the sailors were filled with respect and curiosity.


    There were only three Spiritual Sacred Lands within the Cang Ocean, and each of them was supreme.


    ¡°Only the Spiritual Sacred Lands can give birth to three-star forces.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but feel curious as well about how strong the geniuses from a Spiritual Sacred Land were.


    Currently, he had only exchanged blows with geniuses from two-star and two-and-a-half star sects.


    In reality, Lu Tianyi wasn¡¯t even the Head Disciple of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect. After all, there was an age limit to enter the Purple Saint Ruins.


    As for peak two-star sects and three-star forces, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t met them before.


    According to what he knew, one force could be ten times stronger than another even if they were within the same star level. For example, the difference between a normal two-star sect and a peak two-star sect.


    The one-star Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was able to fight against the Ten Great Clans of the continent simultaneously in its heyday.


    ¡°If Captain wants to, we can go in.¡±


    Xiao Ma suggested.


    ¡°Sure, let us witness some geniuses from the Spiritual Sacred Lands.¡±


    Zhao Feng was full of curiosity.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The group from the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship flew toward the arena with Xiao Ma leading them.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and bloodline suddenly shook when he closed in on the arena.


    When the group entered the arena, there were already many people flying toward it, including a trio consisting of a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord, a male, and a female.


    The male was handsome while the woman was pretty.


    ¡°En, we¡¯ll take care of the limitless ocean whale while we are here and take you to broaden your horizons. After all, even I¡¯m interested in geniuses from the Spiritual Sacred Lands.¡±


    The Sovereign Lord wearing a plain shirt smiled and said.

 588 Bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races

    The Void Ocean Arena was made of a unique and extremely tough material. It was also enveloped in a massive array that even Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords couldn¡¯t break easily.


    There were several guards outside the entrance.


    ¡°Fifty Primal Crystal Stones for each person.¡±


    The entrance fee was enough to make some cultivators go bankrupt.


    Zhao Feng and company all had a Void Ocean Token, which contained an enormous amount of Primal Crystal Stones that could be deducted.


    The tour guide Xiao Ma was also deducted some Primal Crystal Stones.


    ¡°That brat¡¯s already won 29 battles, continue to waste his energy.¡±


    ¡°The ratio¡¯s now one to twenty-five.¡±


    ¡°Ai, my five hundred high-grade Primal Crystal Stones!¡±


    Cheers and cries sounded in the arena.


    There was a total of eight arenas, and most of the people were gathered at the eastern arena.


    ¡°So, he¡¯s the genius of the True Martial Sacred Land?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s just past twenty years old and already has a cultivation of the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Many gazes landed on the short-haired youth. The youth was clad in pure black and looked extremely normal ¨C the type that wouldn¡¯t catch anyone¡¯s attention ¨C but here, his every action was captured by everyone, and he made the hearts of many girls sway.


    Loulan Zhishui was extremely disappointed when she looked over.


    In her mind, a genius from a Spiritual Sacred Land should either be handsome, cold, or dominant, but this short-haired youth was skinny and somewhat short.


    ¡°Brother Chen, these opponents are all too easy¡­.¡±


    The short-haired youth seemed to be unwilling as he glanced at a tall, skinny youth in the southern arena.


    ¡°Your attacks just now weren¡¯t perfect, otherwise you would¡¯ve won even faster.¡±


    The tall, skinny youth shook his head.


    The short-haired youth and tall, skinny youth were both geniuses from the True Martial Sacred Land.


    The tall, skinny youth had a cultivation of the Great Origin Core Realm, so not many people challenged him, but the short-haired youth was only at the early-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°The thirtieth battle.¡±


    A judge spoke.


    There were four Great Origin Core Realm judges on the eastern stand. From this, one could see how important the eastern arena was to the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe, little kid, let me, Ma Fengyun, see the skills of a Sacred Land.¡±


    An elder holding a bamboo fishing rod jumped onto the arena.


    ¡°Ma Fengyun? The pirate captain from back then?¡±


    ¡°This Ma Fengyun was once at the peak stage Small Origin Core Realm but was injured on a scouting mission, so he¡¯s dropped to the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Many people recognized Ma Fengyun¡¯s identity. Although he had now dropped to the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm, he used to be a deadly pirate captain. He wasn¡¯t someone that same-rank people could compare to.


    ¡°Limitless Shadow Stick!¡±


    Ma Fengyun used the Earth-Grade weapon in his hand. The simple-looking bamboo rod unleashed a wave that seemed to devour everything in its path.


    ¡°Earth-Grade weapon¡­ Earth-Grade techniques¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. He was certain that the strength of this Ma Fengyun was even slightly stronger than the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm pirate captain he had seen before.


    The skeletal Division Leader might be able to defeat him in a one-on-one, but it would definitely take more than a hundred moves.


    ¡°Old man, your tricks are nothing in the Spiritual Sacred Lands.¡±


    The short-haired youth said disdainfully.


    ¡°Heaven Star Shattering Technique!¡±


    The short-haired youth thrusted out his fists and created deep explosions in the air, forming hundreds and thousands of fists that crushed forward with the momentum of shattering rocks and splitting the sky.


    Boom!


    Ma Fengyun¡¯s wave seemed to be hit by stars that weighed thousands of tons and was shattered.


    ¡°This brat¡­!¡±


    Ma Fengyun was forced to retreat, and he found that his several-hundred-years of experience was of no help in front of these fists.


    Each of the short-haired youth¡¯s fists seemed to contain limitless and dominating pressure. His every fist crushed toward the body and soul.


    Bam!


    Ma Fengyun was suddenly hit by a fist and sent flying.


    Wah!


    The instant he landed on the ground, Ma Fengyun spat out a mouthful of blood and several of his bones were broken.


    ¡°What the heck? He didn¡¯t even last ten moves!¡±


    ¡°The pirate captain who used to travel across the seas lost just like that?¡±


    The spectators broke out into chaos. They felt that this youth wasn¡¯t too strong, his opponent had just somehow lost.


    ¡°Incredible. Even late-stage Small Origin Core Realms won¡¯t be able to last ten or twenty moves in front of him.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, his state of existence and body had almost reached the level of a Great Origin Core Realm, so his senses were extremely sharp.


    In reality, only those at the Great Origin Core Realm could feel how terrifying this youth¡¯s bloodline power was.


    ¡°It¡¯s already been 30 victories!¡±


    The spectators awaited new challengers, and the gambling ratio had reached 1:28. This meant that, if someone bet their money on the opponent, they would receive 28 Primal Crystal Stones for each Primal Crystal Stone they gambled. Furthermore, this ratio would keep rising with every additional win.


    Whoosh!


    Right at this moment, two strong auras flew straight toward the eastern arena.


    ¡°Leave this brat to me!¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, I gambled a hundred thousand high-grade Primal Crystal Stones on myself. If I win, I¡¯ll get a couple million back.¡±


    The two auras were both at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm. One of them was clad in purple armor, while the other was a chubby-faced, big-eared middle-aged man.


    ¡°Challengers number 31 and 32.¡±


    ¡°One¡¯s at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, and the other seems to have reached the peak stage.¡±


    The spectators were excited. These two challengers were obviously much stronger than the earlier ones.


    This was especially true for the chubby-faced middle-aged man who had a cultivation of the peak stage Small Origin Core Realm. One step further and he would become a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.


    ¡°No fun at all.¡±


    The short-haired youth pouted.


    ¡°Why not fight both of them at the same time, but keep the gambling ratio the same?¡±


    The other youth from the Sacred Land smiled and suggested.


    ¡°Huh? Two against one?¡±


    The judges were surprised. After all, they were part of the ¡°house,¡± and if the short-haired youth lost, they would need to pay out a huge amount.


    Their gaze landed on a particular elder, the person responsible for the arena, whose aura was approaching the Void God Realm.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    The elder gave the tall, skinny youth a deep glance.


    ¡°Hahaha, now this¡¯ll be more challenging. You two can fight me together.¡±


    The short-haired youth laughed.


    _What? Two against one?_


    The spectators paused momentarily before breaking into chaos.


    ¡°Quick!¡±


    ¡°Bet on him!¡±


    At this moment, the ratio was now more than one to thirty.


    The spectators had gone crazy.


    More and more people were joining the wager. After all, this time there was a late-stage Small Origin Core Realm and a peak Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Heaven Star Shattering Technique!¡±


    The short-haired youth released a wisp of an ancient aura as his battle-intent rose.


    _Sky Changing Nine Swords!_


    __


    _Supreme Fist of the Ten Directions!_


    The armored man and the chubby-faced middle-aged man both attacked with mockery in their eyes. The two were fighting as a team, and they complemented one another.


    ¡°I remember now, those two are the Two Despairs of the Purple Sovereign, and they specialize in teamwork. They even managed to stall a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord once.¡±


    ¡°Two Despairs of the Purple Sovereign? Those two guys?¡±


    The spectators were filled with excitement.


    __


    _Two Despairs of the Purple Sovereign._


    The purple-armored man and the big-eared middle-aged man were perfectly in sync with one another.


    ¡°The battle-power of the Two Despairs of the Purple Sovereign is close to a Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. Without using his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, he most likely wouldn¡¯t be a match for those two. Even if he had the skeletal Division Leader at his side, the odds would only be 50-50.


    After all, the Two Despairs of the Purple Sovereign complemented each other, and they both had Earth-Grade weapons.


    Boom Boom Boom~~~~


    The battle was underway. Although the short-haired youth used tactics and techniques, the difference in cultivation was just too big.


    Under normal situations, the difference in amount of True Yuan between an early-stage and late-stage Small Origin Core Realm was two- or three-fold, and their strength was different as well.


    ¡°This brat isn¡¯t bad. He¡¯s still fighting back even after such a long time.¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately, his cultivation isn¡¯t high enough. If he was at the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm, it might be us that would lose.¡±


    The Two Despairs of the Purple Sovereign both revealed a faint smile. They didn¡¯t focus on winning, rather they focused on wasting the youth¡¯s True Yuan.


    _Hmph!_


    The youth¡¯s expression became grim as he couldn¡¯t manage to face the pressure from his opponents.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    The short-haired youth spread his arms and an ancient and dominating bloodline aura was released.


    Dark tattoos seemed to condense and spread across his skin. It seemed to be the skin of an ancient being, and it was extremely tough. It wasn¡¯t exactly skin or scales, it was more like a type of shell.


    ¡°Brother Jiang, stop!¡±


    The expression of the tall, skinny youth changed.


    ¡°This bloodline aura¡­!¡±


    The Two Despairs of the Purple Sovereign felt their souls and bloodlines tremble uneasily.


    Bam!


    Their attacks washed over the short-haired youth. He was focused on fully circulating his bloodline power, so he couldn¡¯t evade or block it.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    Shouts came from the crowd.


    Boom!


    The short-haired youth was unmoving. He was like an ancient desolate beast as he released a terrifying aura.


    Shua!


    A small bloody mark the size of a nail was left behind on his body, but it quickly recovered. The black tattoo was thick and tough.


    ¡°How¡­ how is that possible!?¡±


    The Two Despairs of the Purple Sovereign exclaimed. Their combined attack was unparalleled against those below the Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on¡­?¡±


    Furthermore, their souls and consciousness were shaking instinctively.


    Unknowingly, they had half-kneeled and were about to fully kneel down. Their faces were filled with unknown fear, and everyone watching felt their souls and blood shake uneasily.


    ¡°What¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his bloodline shake as well, and even the little thieving cat revealed a rare solemn expression.


    Plop! Plop!


    Everyone below the peak True Lord Rank knelt to the ground.


    The sailors and Loulan Zhishui started to shake and were turning red.


    ¡°This bloodline aura¡­ could it be from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­!?¡±


    A Great Origin Core Sovereign Lord wearing a plain shirt exclaimed. His soul, and even his state of being, felt uneasy.

 589 Similar

    ¡°Bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!¡±


    Hearing the voice, everyone broke out into discussion.


    A legendary bloodline appeared. How much of a shock was that?


    The expression of the tall, skinny youth from the Spiritual Sacred Land changed, but it was already too late to stop the short-haired youth from using his bloodline.


    Plop! Plop!


    Experts in the arena trembled from the bottom of their bloodline and souls. Those below the half-step Origin Core Realm were half-kneeling on the ground, and even some Sovereigns felt an urge to bow to the short-haired youth from the Sacred Land.


    On the arena platform, the short-haired youth¡¯s bloodline that had been fully opened turned his skin into a tough shell-like thing. He was like a desolate beast releasing a terrifying aura as he looked at the Two Despairs of the Purple Sovereign.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually a legendary bloodline¡­.¡±


    The expressions of the Two Despairs became bitter as they half-knelt. They were like ants in front of the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Without even fighting, they already lost.


    Their attack just now only created a small scratch the size of a nail, and it had already healed.


    ¡°What terrifying defense. So, this is the power of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his body and soul both shake. Apart from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, even his bloodline was suppressed, and it trembled slightly.


    This was the first time he had seen his bloodline become suppressed.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The suppressed bloodline sent a wisp of aura toward the sealed God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and caused it to jump. After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline originated from the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Fuck off!¡±


    The short-haired youth¡¯s bloodline power reached its limit, and he sent a black-colored tornado sweeping around an area of a couple hundred yards.


    Bam!


    The Two Despairs of the Purple Sovereign both yelled as they were sent flying. Their flesh and bones had become a mess, as if they were crushed by a beast.


    ¡°Arghh~~~~~!¡±


    The two bloodied figures fell out of the arena.


    The Great Origin Core Realm judges were stunned.


    ¡°Jiang Fan, thirty-one victories in a r- no, thirty-two¡­.¡±


    One of the judges couldn¡¯t even speak properly.


    In his current state, the short-haired Jiang Fan sent a late-stage and a peak Small Origin Core Realm flying with his bloodline power.


    Hu!


    Everyone watching took in a cold breath and felt uneasy in front of his aura. None of the sailors around Zhao Feng could even stand properly anymore.


    Loulan Zhishui had to lean on Zhao Feng just to be able to stand, and anyone that could still block the aura felt their bloodlines ignite.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. Who still dares to challenge me?¡±


    Jiang Fan laughed as he released his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, making those nearby unable to breathe.


    Wherever the gaze of the short-haired Jiang Fan turned, the aura from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline would descend. Many people felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and those that were thinking of challenging him earlier bowed their heads.


    ¡°The aura of this Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline is kind of similar to the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm.¡±


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline had been suppressed, it was ignited due to its connection to the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The gaze of the short-haired youth suddenly stopped when he looked over a certain area.


    ¡°A faint ancient aura¡­ could there be another bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­?¡±


    The short-haired youth¡¯s bloodline suddenly felt something.


    Shua!


    His sharp eyes landed on Zhao Feng.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye started to twitch. Some of the Ancient Dream Realm aura still hadn¡¯t fully fused into his bloodline yet.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook as he looked at the short-haired youth. It was like facing a giant beast. The pressure on him was stronger than the others.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed worthy of being one of the top legendary bloodlines¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his blood boil, but he was able to block it. Luckily, his body and state of existence had improved through the use of the heart blood essence and the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm, so they were almost comparable to a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord. Otherwise, if it were any other half-step Origin Core Realm, they might¡¯ve vomited blood already.


    ¡°Interesting, your bloodline seems to be somewhat related to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­.¡±


    The eyes of the short-haired youth lit up. The similar aura from Zhao Feng heightened his senses and battle-intent. His Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline even momentarily had the feeling of facing a great foe.


    The short-haired youth¡¯s words caused the nearby people to sigh and look toward Zhao Feng. They didn¡¯t think that there would be another person who had a bloodline related to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races in the same place.


    ¡°Unfortunately, he¡¯s not at the Origin Core Realm yet.¡±


    The short-haired youth shook his head somewhat regretfully and took back his battle-intent.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. The pressure from the short-haired youth was too big. He had to admit that the difference between him and the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline was huge.


    The Two Despairs of the Purple Sovereign were at the late-stage and peak stage Small Origin Core Realm and were still swept away instantly. The skeletal Division Leader and Zhao Feng would have the same result.


    ¡°Without using my eye, it¡¯s very likely that I would be sent flying in one move. Furthermore, because of his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, I might not be able to kill him even if I used my Void Space Eye Slash.¡±


    Zhao Feng calmly analyzed. He knew how terrifying the genius from the Spiritual Sacred Land was.


    No wonder Zhao Yufei would be chosen by the Purple Saint Partial Spirit as the inheritor. One had to know that the Purple Night Sacred Lord also had a faint Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline and ended up surpassing the Void God Realm and reaching the Mystic Light Realm, only one step away from the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    ¡°Brat, I can¡¯t believe that you¡¯re here! Hahaha¡­.¡±


    A laugh full of anger and coldness sounded from the other side of the arena. The owner of the voice belonged to the Sovereign Lord wearing the plain shirt.


    ¡°It¡¯s him.¡±


    The handsome male and pretty female were surprised when they saw Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. Brat, I¡¯ve finally found you.¡±


    The Sovereign Lord was filled with joy, and he instantly released his aura toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This old fart.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed. He didn¡¯t think that he would meet the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion here. Back then, Zhao Feng dug out the heart of the limitless ocean whale beforehand and tricked him.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Third Elder from the Gan Cloud Pavilion.¡±


    Many people recognized his identity. After all, the Gan Cloud Pavilion was a peak one-star force, and it was at least as strong as the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion when it was at its peak.


    Whoosh!


    The shirt-wearing elder¡¯s figure flashed and landed in front of Zhao Feng full of coldness.


    ¡°Brat, hand over the heart blood essence and I won¡¯t take this any further.¡±


    The elder said through Spiritual Sense. After all, this concerned a rare treasure, so he didn¡¯t want everyone else to know.


    ¡°Hehe, the heart blood essence was found by me when I was in the body of the whale. What¡¯s it got to do with you? Besides, all of it¡¯s been used already.¡±


    Zhao Feng replied.


    He wasn¡¯t worried that the elder would attack him in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. Xiao Ma, the tour guide, said that no matter how chaotic it was outside, the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace was peaceful because the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace had the Spiritual Sacred Lands behind them.


    Even a Void God Realm or a two-star sect wouldn¡¯t dare to cause trouble here. There weren¡¯t many who caused trouble here that were able to leave alive.


    ¡°Brat, don¡¯t try to trick me. There is definitely a massive amount of heart blood essence from that whale. Give me the remaining heart blood essence and I won¡¯t trouble you.¡±


    The elder smiled coldly. He wasn¡¯t dumb; he knew that Zhao Feng definitely had a lot more.


    ¡°No.¡±


    Zhao Feng rolled his eyes. Although he did have more, that had nothing to do with the elder.


    ¡°Hmph, although I don¡¯t dare to attack you within the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, the Gan Cloud Pavilion is one of the top three forces around. Don¡¯t think about ever leaving here.¡±


    The elder snickered coldly and walked away.


    He didn¡¯t dare to attack within the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, but he didn¡¯t believe that Zhao Feng would stay here forever.


    Shua!


    A short-haired youth landed in front of Zhao Feng as soon as the shirt-wearing elder left.


    ¡°Jiang Fan!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed, and the people around all screamed this name in their hearts.


    ¡°I¡¯m Jiang Fan, from the True Martial Sacred Lands. May I ask your name?¡±


    Jiang Fan smiled faintly, and many spectators were shocked. This arrogant genius from one of the Sacred Lands had come to get to know Zhao Feng?


    Jiang Fan inspected Zhao Feng with interest.


    All of this fell into the shirt-wearing Sovereign Lord¡¯s eyes, and the cold smile on his face froze. If Zhao Feng got to know a genius from one of the Sacred Lands, then even the Gan Cloud Pavilion wouldn¡¯t dare to move against Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This one is called Zhao Feng.¡±


    Zhao Feng greeted the two geniuses from the Sacred Lands.


    The short-haired youth who had the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline was called Jiang Fan, and the tall, skinny youth who was at the Great Origin Core Realm was called Chen Yilin.


    While the two were inspecting him, Zhao Feng was also inspecting the two, especially Jiang Fan and his bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    __


    _The aura from the Ancient Dream Realm can increase my state of existence and body, and it can purify my bloodline. The bloodline from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races has a similar aura. What¡¯s the connection between the two?_


    Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    He placed great importance on the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm, and he had some guesses.


    ¡°This youth has a faint ancient aura. Even if he doesn¡¯t have a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, it¡¯s definitely a bloodline from that era.¡±


    The two geniuses from the Sacred Land didn¡¯t underestimate Zhao Feng. Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines were some of the best even amongst the Sacred Lands, and it was extremely surprising that they would see someone who had a bloodline close to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.

 590 Repairing the Ship

    Zhao Feng, Jiang Fan, and Chen Yilin walked together and chatted.


    The two Sacred Land geniuses were more interested in Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline and talent. As for his strength, the two didn¡¯t take it into consideration.


    ¡°Brother Zhao isn¡¯t a disciple of a two-star sect or a Void God Realm?¡±


    The tall, skinny youth, Chen Yilin, was slightly surprised.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really say anything about his background. He wasn¡¯t scared of offending anyone in the outside world, but he didn¡¯t want to affect his homeland, especially the Iron Blood Religion and the Broken Moon Clan.


    While they were chatting, the two geniuses from the Sacred Lands didn¡¯t reveal any signs of arrogance, but Zhao Feng could still tell that the two didn¡¯t put him on the same level.


    Previously, Jiang Fan sensed Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline aura and revealed some battle-intent, but when he found out Zhao Feng was only at the half-step Origin Core Realm and didn¡¯t come from a powerful background, he lost interest.


    _These two are only casually interested in me. They have no intentions of truly befriending me._


    Zhao Feng felt. No matter how polite or respectful they were, they came from Sacred Lands and three-star forces, so they felt superior.


    The feeling of slight underestimation passed through Zhao Feng¡¯s heart briefly. However, he had to admit that there was still a big difference between him and the geniuses with Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines.


    The two didn¡¯t speak much about the situation within the Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    ¡°My bloodline comes from the Black Dazzling Race, and it specializes in strength and defense.¡±


    Jiang Fan smiled. The Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline was one of the peak existences in the Fan Universe. Even the Eight Great God Eyes were related to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    After talking for a while, the two started to lose interest and departed.


    In another corner of the arena, the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion let out a breath. He was worried that Zhao Feng would befriend those two. That would mean he would need to be wary. However, from the current situation, it just seemed that those two just wanted to chat a bit with Zhao Feng.


    ¡°After all, they¡¯re most likely some of the best even among the Sacred Land. As soon as they leave, I can attack that brat without worry.¡±


    A faint smile appeared on the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion¡¯s lips.


    Right at this moment:


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng led the group and left the arena.


    Xiao Ma¡¯s eyes glanced over the two geniuses from the Sacred Land, and he felt regretful for Zhao Feng. The chance of befriending those two was so easily passed up by Zhao Feng.


    If Zhao Feng was willing to befriend them, he might be able to form a connection with the Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    For the rest of the day, Zhao Feng and company walked around the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace for a while before entering a hotel.


    When they arrived in the hotel, the sailors could do whatever they wanted, whether they wanted to exchange resources or use this chance to strengthen themselves with the heart blood essence.


    ¡°Xiao Ma, the next issue we¡¯ll need from you¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke slowly.


    ¡°Please speak, Captain.¡±


    Xiao Ma was instantly excited. This Captain could certainly hold his breath; all he did so far was walk around for an entire day. They were finally getting to the main point, so Xiao Ma was excited. Usually, the more important the task, the bigger the exchange, thus he would receive greater rewards.


    ¡°The first task is to repair the ship.¡±


    Zhao Feng told him the situation of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    _Limitless ocean ship!_


    Xiao Ma¡¯s eyes lit up. He had seen the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, and he knew that it was of high quality. The value of such a ship was extremely high, and anyone who had a limitless ocean ship wasn¡¯t simple. Even some Sovereigns didn¡¯t have a limitless ocean ship.


    ¡°The second task is to sell some resources and buy some things¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng took out a list.


    When Xiao Ma saw the list, his heart started to thud and he could no longer focus. Most of the items on the list were no only of large quantity, they were also rare, including several treasures only in the legends.


    Any single one of such items was worth his entire fortune.


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    In reality, most of the items on the list were written by the skeletal Division Leader, and they were focused on the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    According to what the skeletal Division Leader said, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had the potential to become even stronger. If each cursed ghost-corpse could reach the half-step Origin Core Realm, the power would rise dramatically.


    Apart from that, the array would also become dramatically stronger if it devoured a hundred Sovereigns.


    Hu~


    Xiao Ma took in a deep breath after looking at the list, and he suppressed the joy and excitement in his heart. Although this employer didn¡¯t have a cultivation at the Origin Core Realm, the wealth he had definitely surpassed most.


    Not many people even at the Sovereign level were as rich as Zhao Feng. At least, Xiao Ma hadn¡¯t seen any yet.


    ¡°Xiao Ma, do you have any questions?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    Xiao Ma paused and started to think.


    ¡°If Captain is willing to pay a certain price, it¡¯s best to ask for a master that specializes in arrays. I can recommend¡­¡±


    Xiao Ma analyzed and suggested.


    ¡°Forging array master?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked. He realized that a forging array master specialized in both forging and arrays, meaning that one could fix limitless ocean ships single-handedly, and Xiao Ma had several recommendations.


    ¡°If Captain is going to sell these resources, the rare materials can be sold for a higher price in the auction that is coming up. As for the resources you want to buy, I can go ask around¡­.¡±


    Xiao Ma continued.


    Zhao Feng stopped him halfway.


    ¡°Zhishui, you and Xiao Ma will work together from today onward, and you two will be responsible for the two tasks.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately gave all the trouble to those two.


    ¡°Understood, Captain.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui and Xiao Ma said.


    Within the hotel, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and started to cultivate.


    This time, he didn¡¯t enter the Ancient Dream Realm. Instead, he focused on completely merging and absorbing the remaining aura within him.


    For the next three days, Xiao Ma and Loulan Zhishui started to get busy and even told some sailors to help. The two would then ask Zhao Feng when it came to important matters, and thus the selling and buying of materials and resources started.


    Part of the resources he was selling came from the Purple Saint Ruins, while others came from spoils of war from killing people.


    On the third day, Xiao Ma successfully managed to contact a forging array master.


    ¡°Captain, this is the famous Master Wei from the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, and he¡¯s helped repair the ships of many two-star sects.¡±


    Xiao Ma said in a respectful tone.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard of your famous name for a while now.¡±


    Zhao Feng humbly said as he inspected this Master Wei.


    Master Wei had a cold attitude. He went straight to the point and asked to see the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°This is a pirate ship, but the materials aren¡¯t bad¡­.¡±


    Master Wei was slightly surprised. Under Xiao Ma¡¯s continuous asking, he finally managed to squeeze in some time and came to take a look.


    At first, he was suspicious about how rich Xiao Ma said his employer was, but after seeing this ship, he didn¡¯t underestimate him anymore.


    Of course, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was only decent in his eyes. It wasn¡¯t among the best.


    After being silent for a moment, Master Wei spoke, ¡°I have three suggestions: a low, middle, and high suggestion.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Let¡¯s hear it.¡±


    Zhao Feng was interested.


    ¡°The low suggestion is to fix the ship and only slightly increase its attributes. The price of the materials will be comparable to a False Earth-Grade item.¡±


    Master Wei said before looking at Zhao Feng. The value of a False Earth-Grade weapon wasn¡¯t low. Ten Broken Moon Clans combined weren¡¯t even worth that much.


    Zhao Feng shook his head. It was obvious that he didn¡¯t want it.


    ¡°The middle suggestion is to repair the ship and increase its attributes by a lot. However, the cost will be comparable to several complete Earth-Grade weapons.¡±


    Master Wei smiled faintly.


    _Several complete Earth-Grade weapons._


    Xiao Ma was already started to sweat coldly.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t say anything and signaled for Master Wei to continue.


    ¡°The high suggestion is to completely change the ship. It¡¯s not much different from making a new one. This will need a lot of people and will cost a lot. I won¡¯t be able to complete it alone, and the cost of this is enough to make a normal one-star clan go broke¡­.¡±


    Master Wei shook his head and smiled.


    The cost of the high suggestion was enough to make a normal one-star clan go bankrupt. Xiao Ma and Loulan Zhishui couldn¡¯t help but click their tongues.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change, ¡°I¡¯ll choose the middle suggestion.¡±


    In reality, it wasn¡¯t impossible for him to go for the high suggestion, but the price was too high for his liking, and it couldn¡¯t be completed within a short amount of time.


    However, this already surprised Master Wei. Usually, only peak one-star clans had the wealth to choose the middle suggestion. Even some Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords could only just barely manage to afford it, but Zhao Feng seemed slightly unwilling when he chose this suggestion.


    Zhao Feng then told Master Wei about merging the heart blood essence of a limitless ocean whale into the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°You have heart blood essence?¡±


    Master Wei was surprised and excited. It was obvious he was moved by it.


    ¡°This idea is good because the heart blood essence contains the energy of an ocean animal, and it can make the ship more in tune with the ocean, strengthening its resistance against erosion while also increasing its speed at the same time. It will also be able to make other beasts retreat, hence making it easier to travel.¡±


    Master Wei kept on praising.


    ¡°But that would require a large amount of heart blood essence.¡±


    He then shook his head and felt that it was unrealistic.

 591 Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array

    ¡°If I use the middle suggestion, how much heart blood essence will be needed?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    Master Wei spoke, ¡°At least one bathtub to have an effect. If you use too much, it might actually attract limitless ocean whales nearby.¡±


    ¡°One bathtub? No problem.¡±


    Zhao Feng replied.


    Surprise flashed through Master Wei¡¯s eyes. A bathtub of heart blood essence didn¡¯t seem to be much in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    Thinking up to there, Master Wei looked at Zhao Feng with fiery hot eyes.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, if you give me a bathtub of heart blood essence, I won¡¯t charge you anything for repairing the ship.¡±


    Master Wei said with excitement.


    Zhao Feng started to laugh. He didn¡¯t think that this Master Wei also wanted some heart blood essence.


    Master Wei was at the middle stage of the Small Origin Core Realm, and the heart blood essence could help him a lot.


    ¡°Deal.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and agreed. The amount of heart blood essence in his gourd could fill a big room the size of dozens of bathtubs. After all, the body of the limitless ocean whale he killed was extremely large, and its state of existence was almost at the Void God Realm.


    A smile appeared on Master Wei¡¯s face after Zhao Feng agreed. The two then started to discuss the specifics of repairing and upgrading the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, this ship has the elements of water and lightning, it¡¯s extremely resistant to erosion, and it specializes in stealth¡­.¡±


    Master Wei analyzed.


    Zhao Feng was very satisfied with the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship¡¯s structure. The element of Water Lightning was perfect for his ice and water bloodline and his Wind Lightning True Yuan.


    ¡°Then we¡¯ll keep the elements of water and lightning as the base structure.¡±


    Master Wei confirmed and then started to talk about upgrading it.


    ¡°The ship doesn¡¯t need to be much bigger. I don¡¯t need it to have strong offense, but it needs extremely fast speed and strong defense.¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke his thoughts. The ship was mainly for travelling and providing a good space for quiet cultivation.


    ¡°En, if we don¡¯t expand the ship we can indeed raise its speed and defense.¡±


    Master Wei nodded his head.


    After confirming the structure and path they were undertaking, they talked about the materials.


    The choice of materials was also split into three different tiers, and Zhao Feng chose all the best ones. The total amount of wealth needed to repair and upgrade the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was an enormous amount, which caused Master Wei to sigh in surprise.


    He hadn¡¯t seen many Sovereigns use so much money at once, apart from the ones from two-star sects or disciples of Void God Realms. Yet, the person doing so this time was only a youth at the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°This youth¡¯s background is probably not simple.¡±


    Master Wei became more solemn.


    When they walked out of the hotel, Master Wei asked Xiao Ma about Zhao Feng¡¯s background and history.


    ¡°My employer¡¯s background is extremely mysterious. Even the geniuses from a Sacred Land came to talk with him.¡±


    Xiao Ma exaggerated proudly.


    _Spiritual Sacred Lands?_


    Master Wei took in a deep breath and didn¡¯t dare to relax when fixing the ship.


    Within the hotel, Zhao Feng sat down and started to cultivate, absorbing the aura of the Ancient Dream Realm within his body.


    ¡°The aura of the Ancient Dream Realm can increase my body¡¯s strength and my bloodline, and it has an aura similar to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. If I keep on absorbing this¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng was full of expectations.


    His bloodline was now two or three times stronger than when he left the Purple Saint Ruins. Although the effect of the Ancient Dream Realm aura decreased as Zhao Feng¡¯s body and state of existence increased, Zhao Feng start to last longer within the Dream Realm.


    ¡°I should push my bloodline to its limit by using the heart blood essence and aura from the Ancient Dream Realm before breaking through to the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a plan. Because he had just reached the half-step Origin Core Realm not long ago, it wasn¡¯t realistic to reach the Origin Core Realm within a short amount of time.


    Over the next half a month, half of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship had been repaired.


    After the repairing was complete came the upgrading.


    Elsewhere, Zhao Feng kept on gathering the materials to strengthen the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and he sold precious resources from within his old metal ring. The precious resources that had stacked several mountains high were starting to decrease.


    Upgrading the ship took up 30-40% of the money while the other 60-70% was spent on the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. Master Wei repaired the ship for free, but the upgrades still required money.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng had already stayed in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace for almost a month.


    Over this period of time, all the little hassling problems were given to Xiao Ma and Loulan Zhishui. Both he and the skeletal Division Leader needed to grasp this time to become stronger. Only then would the two be able to clearly face the deadly pursuit ahead of them.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and his face became pale-white, but he immediately closed his eyes and circulated his half-step True Yuan to absorb the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on his shoulder and absorbed the remnants of the aura.


    Di! Da!


    At the same time, the human and cat pair bathed in a big barrel of heart blood essence.


    In almost a month¡¯s time, Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence and bloodline had improved and become purer.


    ¡°Unfortunately, the effect of the heart blood essence has become weaker.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed.


    His state of existence and body were completely comparable to a Great Origin Core Realm, and they might even be a bit stronger than normal Sovereign Lords now.


    On top of that, the strengthening of his bloodline brought him great benefits.


    For example, when he used powerful secret techniques now, he would have more energy to do so, and the foundation of his state of existence gave him faster cultivation speed.


    Zhao Feng also felt that his senses had been heightened, and his half-step True Yuan was being converted at a faster rate. His comprehension of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning was also faster than before.


    On this day, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was finally fixed and upgraded. Zhao Feng saw a brand new Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship in a lake nearby.


    On the lake was a gray-blue metallic ship covered in precise arrays, and it gave off a cold glint. It was split into two floors, with a deck on the very top.


    From afar, it looked like a shark, and it gave off a terrifying aura.


    Zhao Feng let the sailors in and familiarized himself with the ship.


    Weng~


    A thin ripple of water and lightning appeared on the surface of the ship, causing the ship to seem more mysterious and noble.


    ¡°After some testing, the ship¡¯s speed has increased by two or three times. It¡¯s close to the speed of a Great Origin Core Realm now. In terms of defense, it can block the attack of several normal Origin Core Realms at the same time.¡±


    Master Wei said and smiled.


    Zhao Feng found that both the outside and inside of the ship had been strengthened, and it was now far better than normal limitless ocean ships.


    The metallic feeling of the ship became stronger, and the array carvings were precise and accurate.


    On that very day, Zhao Feng let the sailors get used to it, and he gave the bathtub of heart blood essence to Master Wei.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you upgraded this ship just to travel across the ocean?¡±


    Master Wei was curious of Zhao Feng¡¯s background. If it were a normal person, they could and would use more resources on themselves.


    ¡°I won¡¯t hide it anymore. I actually need to cross into another land.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°You mean that you¡¯re going to leave the territory of the True Martial Sacred Land and enter another Sacred Land?¡±


    Master Wei was surprised.


    It was extremely far to cross into another land.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, since you know some geniuses from the Sacred Land, why don¡¯t you use the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array and travel immediately to another Sacred Land? You¡¯ll be able to save much more time.¡±


    Master Wei said with surprise. From his perspective, Zhao Feng¡¯s background wasn¡¯t simple, and he might even be related to the Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    ¡°Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved. He suddenly remembered the unique lines on the map.


    ¡°If I¡¯m right, those lines are long-distance teleportation arrays.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but feel excited.


    ¡°However, I heard that there is a heavy price in order to use it, and only a limited amount of people have the right to do so¡­.¡±


    Master Wei added.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a new plan.


    The destination was too far away. If he could use the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array, he would save at least half the amount of time it would take.


    Zhao Feng immediately scouted around and finally found the two geniuses from the Sacred Land.


    Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin were in the esteemed guest rooms of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace when they saw Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array?¡±


    Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin looked at each other and then shook their heads decisively.


    ¡°Even we don¡¯t have access to the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Arrays. You have to know that my master is an Elder of the Sacred Land, and Jiang Fan¡¯s master is even more powerful¡­.¡±


    The tall and skinny Chen Yilin said apologetically.


    He meant that, even with their background, they could only use normal teleportation arrays.


    ¡°Normal teleportation arrays can send one person to anywhere between the different Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces and even into the Spiritual Sacred Land, but that¡¯s limited to core members of the Sacred Lands. We have to have our seniors¡¯ permission when doing that.¡±


    Jiang Fan shook his head and said.


    Although Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised by the outcome, he was still somewhat disappointed.


    He wasn¡¯t a member of the Sacred Lands, and he didn¡¯t have a strong background. He didn¡¯t even have the right to use the normal teleportation arrays to travel between Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces.


    Furthermore, these two didn¡¯t have much of a connection with Zhao Feng, so they didn¡¯t really want to help him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be leaving then.¡±


    Zhao Feng left the guest room under the emotionless gazes of the two geniuses from the Sacred Lands.


    ¡°Although this Zhao Feng is talented, he has no background or any strong seniors behind him. His future will definitely not interact with ours.¡±


    Chen Yilin smiled.


    Jiang Fan sighed. If they put in some effort, there would be a small bit of hope, but they didn¡¯t think Zhao Feng had enough potential, therefore they didn¡¯t bother with him.

 592 Ambush

    Zhao Feng shook his head as he left the guest rooms, not surprised by the result. It was logical that the two Sacred Land geniuses wouldn¡¯t want to help him, but he still wanted to try his luck.


    Zhao Feng then contacted Xiao Ma and Loulan Zhishui as he returned to the hotel.


    ¡°Captain, almost all the resources you wanted have been gathered, and the Primal Crystal Stones you gained from selling your resources have been used to buy the materials you need.¡±


    Xiao Ma took out the list and went down one by one.


    When it came to buying and selling the items, Xiao Ma used his connections while Loulan Zhishui oversaw the process.


    ¡°Okay, we will leave in three days¡¯ time.¡±


    Zhao Feng decided.


    The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace was a high-ranked restocking point, so all his requirements had been met. It was time to leave.


    ¡°Xiao Ma, here¡¯s your reward.¡±


    Zhao Feng threw an interspatial ring over to Xiao Ma, and his heart jumped when he saw what was inside.


    ¡°Thank you, Captain.¡±


    Xiao Ma bowed multiple times with gratitude.


    Apart from a pile of Primal Crystal Stones, there was also a barrel of heart blood essence.


    The pile of Primal Crystal Stones was comparable to him working for several years, and the barrel of heart blood essence was something from his dreams.


    Xiao Ma gave Zhao Feng a deep glance before he left. With this barrel of heart blood essence, his state of existence would rise by leaps and bounds. As long as he took this step, his life would be changed forever.


    Within the room:


    ¡°Is there no hope at all to use the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array?¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    It was a long journey to travel throughout the territory of the Spiritual Sacred Lands. He estimated that it would take over a dozen years if the journey was smooth. However, if he used the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array, more than half of that time would be saved.


    Unfortunately, those two from the Sacred Land wouldn¡¯t help Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    A purple-colored token appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand; the Purple Saint Token.


    There was a connection between the Purple Saint Token and the Purple Saint Ruins. He could open a path to the ruins using the token, and the token itself contained unusual power.


    ¡°The Purple Saint Token can be used three times. I¡¯ve already used it once.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and sensed it.


    The aura on the other side of the Purple Saint Token was already extremely weak. It was because the distance was extremely far, and the dimension itself was losing power or else he could open a path back into the ruins.


    Although the Thousand Flowing Islands Zone and Tianlu Islands Zone were next to each other, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s current strength probably wasn¡¯t enough.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any intentions of returning to the Purple Saint Ruins.


    ¡°Senior Purple Saint, my destination is too far away and I need to use the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array in the True Martial Sacred Land¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng sent this wisp of information across.


    The difficulty of opening a connection was huge and would waste the Purple Saint Partial Spirit and the dimension¡¯s strength, but exchanging information didn¡¯t require much energy.


    However, there was no reaction at all.


    ¡°Did something happen in the Purple Saint Ruins?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    After half the time it took tea to be made later, a sigh came from the Purple Saint Token; ¡°Zhao Feng, go to the True Martial Sacred Land and find someone called Duanmu Qing with my Purple Saint Token, but I don¡¯t know if that person is still alive or not. If he is then he¡¯ll definitely help you. He can be trusted.¡±


    ¡°True Martial Sacred Land? Duanmu Qing? Great!¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. He only asked the Purple Saint Partial Spirit on a whim, he didn¡¯t really have any hope.


    Anyone that was related to the Purple Spirit Partial Spirit and still alive today wouldn¡¯t be a simple figure.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, the Purple Saint Ruins is doing well, you don¡¯t need to worry¡­.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s voice sounded through the Purple Saint Token.


    The two were able to contact each other through the Purple Saint Token, but they couldn¡¯t talk for too long since the distance was too great and the burden on the Purple Saint Token and the dimension of the Purple Saint Ruins would be big.


    At the same time, within the third floor of the Treasured Palace in the Purple Saint Ruins:


    Weng~~


    A purple-robed young female sat in front of a crystal key.


    The girl in purple had snow-white skin that glistened, and she seemed as elegant as a goddess.


    ¡°Yufei, it looks like your Spiritual Race bloodline is about to awaken. Even though your mental energy hasn¡¯t reached the Origin Core Realm, your still able to convert such pure half-step True Yuan. You¡¯ll be able to fully refine True Yuan soon.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit smiled and said.


    It was incredible to refine True Yuan without one¡¯s mental energy reaching the Origin Core Realm. Although there were some instances of this happening, it was either from great fortune, or from giving cultivation to someone else, which couldn¡¯t actually be purified by them and would be in a sealed state instead.


    On the other hand, Zhao Yufei was able to purify and refine it herself.


    ¡°The Spiritual Race is ranked as one of the best even among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit nodded her head.


    Three days later, near one of the entrances of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace:


    ¡°That brat¡¯s finally come out and getting ready to leave.¡±


    ¡°Report this to Third Elder.¡±


    A couple normal-looking figures nearby communicated through Spiritual Sense.


    Shua! Shua!


    These figures flashed away in the blink of an eye.


    A couple breaths later:


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Zhao Feng and his group flew out of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng raised his hand, and the new Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship appeared and released a powerful pressure.


    ¡°What a strong aura. That ship is one of extremely high quality.¡±


    Many people turned around near the entrance while Zhao Feng led the sailors into the ship.


    The inside of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was elegant and seemed like a high-class hotel. In addition, the strength and defense of the materials were strong.


    Loulan Zhishui and company went in and got to work.


    After absorbing the heart blood essence, the states of existence of many sailors were approaching the half-step Origin Core Realm, and they had even more potential.


    Loulan Zhishui had easily broken through to the late-stage True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng sat in the nicely decorated captain¡¯s cabin and ordered.


    Weng~~


    A ripple of water and lightning appeared on the surface of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship as it shot past the barrier of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace and into the limitless ocean.


    ¡°Follow them!¡±


    An elder wearing a plain shirt and two Sovereigns chased after them.


    The shirt-wearing elder was the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion. The two Sovereigns next to him had reached the late-stage of the Small Origin Core Realm, and they were all extremely quick.


    Over the last month, the elder had mobilized the forces of the Gan Cloud Pavilion and ordered some people to wait in this area.


    ¡°Brat, the Gan Cloud Pavilion has surrounded everything within dozens of miles. You won¡¯t be able to escape even if you have wings.¡±


    The shirt-wearing Sovereign Lord roared as he chased after the ship as quick as lightning.


    Within the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, the blood of all the sailors boiled as they felt the pressure from the Great Origin Core Realm. It seemed as if he had merged with nature and become one with the world.


    ¡°What speed!¡±


    The Sovereign Lord could only close in slowly while the other two Sovereigns couldn¡¯t catch up.


    ¡°This brat actually merged heart blood essence into the ship? What a complete waste!¡±


    The Sovereign Lord¡¯s expression became angry and his eyes became colder.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm Sovereigns charged out from in front after the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship had flown a certain distance.


    ¡°Brat, stay here!¡±


    The two middle-stage Small Origin Core Realms both attacked and caused waves to roar.


    Bam! Bam! Boom~~~~


    The cold metallic shell of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was still smooth and cold. No damage had been done to it.


    ¡°This ship¡¯s defense is extremely strong.¡±


    The two Sovereigns clicked their tongues and used all their strength to try to stop it. Although their attacks couldn¡¯t truly threaten the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, it wasn¡¯t hard to reduce its speed.


    ¡°Hahahaha¡­. You two, stop that ship.¡±


    The shirt-wearing Sovereign Lord laughed wildly.


    The main reason he went after Zhao Feng was because of the heart blood essence. He didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng still had such a high-grade Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship on top of that.


    Even the Gan Cloud Pavilion, a peak one-star clan, didn¡¯t have many ships of such quality.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader appeared from within a layer of dark mist. During the last month, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s strength had increased by leaps and bounds after using the heart blood essence and the Mystic Dark Crystal Bone.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    The skeletal Division Leader took the brunt of the two Small Origin Core Realms¡¯ attacks and wasn¡¯t injured at all.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader laughed as it thrusted out its hand and sent waves of bone spikes toward the two Sovereigns.


    Boom!


    The two Sovereigns were forced to retreat, and one of them was slightly injured.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but nod his head. The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s cultivation was closing in on the late-stage of the Small Origin Core Realm, and its bones had been strengthened to a new level ¨C able to ignore attacks from normal Small Origin Core Realms.


    Adding on the fact that it had merged the Nine Deadly Yin Bone into its body, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s battle-power had surpassed the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm and was almost comparable to the Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Finish this battle quickly.¡±


    Zhao Feng saw that the three behind them were catching up.


    Shua!


    He waved a black flag and a hundred cursed ghost-corpses appeared in the air.


    Hu~~~~~


    A dark mist instantly spread across four or five miles and released a shocking curse.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The two Sovereigns felt uncomfortable when the mist touched them, and countless dry, white hands that they couldn¡¯t even see clawed into their bodies and ripped their flesh.


    The souls and energy of the two Sovereigns were continually depleted, and the injured Sovereign felt worse. It was as if there were ghosts attached to him.


    ¡°Mental energy Ghost technique ¨C Ten Thousand Ghost Maze God!¡±


    The red flames in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes twitched and released illusions of fear and panic into the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved the black flag, and the mist formed circle after circle that trapped the two Sovereign Lords.


    ¡°Wu!¡±


    ¡°Arghhhh~~~!¡±


    The two Sovereigns felt dizzy and released screams as fear overtook their expressions.


    One could see their skin and blood starting to rot.

 593 Power of the Bloodline

    When all one hundred ghost-corpses formed the array, the power rose to a new level. Even the limitless ocean whale was killed by it.


    At this point in time, the dark mist had formed ghostly flames, which forced the two Sovereigns into desperation when the flames were complemented with the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s mental energy ghost technique.


    One would have to face a terrifying amount of the curse¡¯s power when they fell into the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. The skin and flesh of the two Sovereigns were starting to rot while their energy and souls were being depleted.


    ¡°Hold on!¡±


    The expression of the Sovereign Lord chasing from behind changed dramatically as he saw what was happening, and he released his aura.


    He didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng would still have such a deadly killing move. Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t used this move against the Metal Triangle Pirates or even in the battle against the Great Origin Core Realm pirate leader.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­. Once this Ghost Corpse Cursed Array kills a hundred Sovereigns, its strength will rise dramatically.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was even more excited than Zhao Feng himself. After all, all of the corpses were personally refined by it.


    ¡°Void Sky Yin Demonic Stab!¡±


    The Earth-Grade weapon that was merged with the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body shot out.


    Shu~~~~


    A large, dark silver bone phantom flashed through the air, and it seemed to break through space itself as it pierced through one of the rotting Sovereigns.


    ¡°Arghh~~~~!¡±


    A cry came from within the array, and the Sovereign¡¯s body turned into a puddle of blood.


    At the same time:


    ¡°Argh¡­. Save me¡­.¡±


    The other Sovereign was surrounded by dry white hands that were reaching into his body.


    Whoosh~~


    Zhao Feng waved the black flag and directed the array¡¯s power, and soon, the other Sovereign turned into a puddle of blood as well.


    In just a short moment, two middle-stage Small Origin Core Realms had died from the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Hu~~~~


    The energy and essence of the two Sovereigns were absorbed by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. This scene made the bones of the three chasing Sovereigns turn cold.


    ¡°Brat, how dare you kill Elders from the Gan Cloud Pavilion!?¡±


    The Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion suppressed the shock in his heart. He changed the environment with his Great Origin Core Realm aura as he charged toward the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    The other two Sovereigns were at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, so they weren¡¯t weak.


    ¡°Break~~~!¡±


    The Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion thrusted out a palm that caused everything within ten miles to hum. The palm proceeded to smash into the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Hu~~~~~


    The dark mist formed by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array became fainter.


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved the black flag and created more dark mist from within the array.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­. This Ghost Corpse Cursed Array isn¡¯t what it was in the past. Do you really think it¡¯ll be broken so easily?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body crackled as the Nine Deadly Yin Bone merged back into its body.


    Weng~~~


    It then used a secret technique and turned into a flaming bone giant.


    Whoosh!


    The flaming bone giant caused flames of Yin and Death to whistle around with its every action, which still complemented the Ghost Corpse Array.


    Over the last month, its bones were strengthened after absorbing the heart blood essence and merging with the Mystic Dark Crystal Bone.


    Its battle-power was stronger than normal late-stage Small Origin Core Realms. On top of that, it currently had the support of the array and its secret technique.


    ¡°Old man, take my palm!¡±


    The flaming bone giant released dominating flames as it thrusted out a palm toward the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion.


    Bam~~~


    A loud explosion sounded above the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and the shockwave devoured everything nearby. The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship below tumbled and fell into the ocean.


    Boom!


    The skeletal Division Leader retreated a couple steps. It obviously had a slight disadvantage, but the excitement in its eyes increased. Thinking back to how it had no resistance at all against Lord Hu Suo, it had only been half a year since then and its strength had increased by such a huge amount.


    ¡°You two stall that skeleton, I¡¯ll kill the brat.¡±


    The Sovereign Lord ordered. He knew that Zhao Feng, who was controlling the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, was the critical point. After all, the array¡¯s threat was too big and the skeletal Division Leader was harder to kill than Zhao Feng.


    ¡°As long as I kill that brat and take the spoils of war, I can finish off the skeleton.¡±


    The eyes of the Sovereign Lord flashed.


    ¡°Brat, die!¡±


    The Sovereign Lord swerved around the skeletal Division Leader and charged toward Zhao Feng, who was in the center of the Ghost Corpse Array.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader didn¡¯t stop him; instead, it simply clashed with the two late-stage Small Origin Core Realm Sovereigns coming toward it.


    In just a short amount of time, it already managed to suppress the two with its flaming bone giant form.


    _Go!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change as he waved the array flag, summoning mist-dragons to clash with the Sovereign Lord.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    The Sovereign Lord thrusted his palm out and the power of the curse was shattered before it even got near him. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression stayed the same as he kept using the power of the curse to crash into the Sovereign Lord.


    Transparently white, dry hands wrapped around the Sovereign Lord¡¯s body and kept reaching into his body, causing his expression to change. Even someone as strong as him, who had reached the Great Origin Core Realm, couldn¡¯t ignore the effect of the curse.


    ¡°Hmph, the power of the curse can enter through anywhere. This isn¡¯t just a simple mental energy attack¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng let the Sovereign Lord charge over. Once the power of the curse entered his body and wasn¡¯t healed in time, even someone at the Great Origin Core Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to escape.


    No matter how strong his state of existence was, there was definitely a big difference compared to a limitless ocean whale.


    _I only need ten breaths to kill this brat and I¡¯ll still be able to retreat unharmed._


    The Sovereign Lord thought. He was confident in his ability to kill Zhao Feng in ten breaths. He could even do it in only four or five.


    _Wings of Wind and Lightning!_


    A pair of purple-colored wings suddenly condensed behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back, causing his speed and agility to increase.


    Shua!


    Afterimages were left behind along with the cover of the dark smoke.


    The senses of outsiders would be restricted inside the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have these restrictions imposed on him. He and the skeletal Division Leader knew the array as well as they knew their own hand.


    ¡°Cunning brat.¡±


    The Sovereign Lord roared and sent a green palm phantom across several hundred yards, using a wide-ranged attack.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s reactions and agility were extremely quick, and he had the advantage in the landscape, so he managed to dodge several attacks.


    Bo~~


    A ripple of water appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Boom! Boom!


    The attacks were slowed down and stopped when they landed on Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Even though he was slightly injured, his Water Bloodline soon healed him.


    ¡°What a powerful bloodline.¡±


    The expression of the Sovereign Lord changed as he realized that he had underestimated Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence and body were stronger than even normal Great Origin Core Realms, and his bloodline had increased by leaps and bounds over the past half a year.


    He had the Wings of Wind and Lightning for speed and offense, and he had the Water Bloodline for defense and recovery. With the help of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, Zhao Feng was able to stall the Sovereign Lord for a couple breaths.


    However, at the end of the day, a Great Origin Core Realm was still a Sovereign Lord, and he soon pushed Zhao Feng into a certain area.


    ¡°Mystic Sky Dark Seal!¡±


    A large, half-a-mile-long, dark green palm enveloped Zhao Feng¡¯s location.


    Arghh!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face went red as his Wings of Wind and Lightning and his Water Bloodline were both suppressed.


    His knees started to bend and his body started to shake. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his state of existence and body were even stronger than normal Great Origin Core Realms, and that his Water Bloodline had strong defense, he would have already crumbled.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­! Brat, give up.¡±


    The Sovereign Lord roared in laughter.


    A Sovereign Lord was a Sovereign Lord after all. If he couldn¡¯t even take down a half-step Origin Core Realm, then he wouldn¡¯t have any face left at all.


    ¡°Water Spirit Divine Change!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes became sharp as his body suddenly began to twist.


    Weng~~


    A light suddenly merged with Zhao Feng and turned his body into a liquid form, causing him to ripple like water.


    Boom~~~


    The terrifying attack from the Sovereign Lord that landed on Zhao Feng seemed to pass through liquid.


    _What!?_


    The Sovereign Lord¡¯s expression changed, ¡°A liquid state? This brat can comprehend such profound Water secret techniques?¡±


    The Water Spirit Divine Change was a highly profound technique even in the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, and it was hard for people to successfully cultivate it.


    Under the state of the Water Spirit Divine Change, Zhao Feng was able to turn into liquid momentarily, and he was almost unparalleled in defense.


    ¡°Giant!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure suddenly rose and became a Water Spirit God.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s every action seemed to be able to flip the ocean as his strength rose to a new level.


    Crack!


    Zhao Feng ignored the Sovereign Lord¡¯s attack and threw out a punch that destroyed the power restricting him.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s Water Spirit Divine Change had already exceeded that of Elder Shui Yun¡¯s from back then. This was mainly because his state of existence and bloodline were stronger than before, and he able to perform the technique more easily.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    With a flash of light, the water giant descended from the sky.


    The two late-stage Small Origin Core Realms were being suppressed by the skeletal Division Leader, and they were being weakened by the power of the curse.


    The two ambushed Sovereigns were instantly slain. They couldn¡¯t understand how Zhao Feng had the ability to come over and kill them while he was facing a Great Origin Core Realm.


    But this was reality. Zhao Feng had completely ignored the Sovereign Lord¡¯s attack.

 594 Appearance of the Death Guards

    Seeing that another late-stage Small Origin Core Realm Sovereign was about to be killed by Zhao Feng, the shirt-wearing elder roared, ¡°Brat!¡±


    The Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion screamed, and his eyes bulged. Of the four Sovereigns he brought with him, three had already died.


    ¡°Mystic Sky Dark Technique Slash!¡±


    The Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion exploded his True Yuan, condensing a half-transparent dark green blade that seemed to be the punishment of heaven itself as it became one with nature and slashed toward Zhao Feng.


    The terrifying power from this attack caused the heavens and earth to shake. The others present, including the skeletal Division Leader and the other Sovereign, felt their hearts jump.


    Shua!


    The Water Spirit Giant that Zhao Feng had turned into wasn¡¯t able to fully evade the attack.


    Shu~~~~


    The body of the Water Spirit Giant rippled and immediately became faint. It was almost chopped in two.


    Weng~~


    The Water Spirit Giant¡¯s injuries then started to recover. In this state, Zhao Feng¡¯s flesh was able to turn into a half-liquid state. He was almost immortal with his monstrous recovery speed.


    Zhao Feng took the blow from the Third Elder head-on as he charged toward the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    Bam!


    The Water Spirit Giant sent out a thrust that made the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm cough out blood.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Water Spirit Divine Change was currently a complete version, unlike when he was in the Purple Saint Ruins. Not only did he have strong defense, his every action was full of power.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s mastery of the Water Spirit Divine Change had already surpassed the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm Elder Shui Yun. This was because, over the last half a year, Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence had risen dramatically due to the heart blood essence and the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm. It was even stronger than normal Great Origin Core Realms, and his bloodline power had transformed multiple times.


    The solid foundation of lifeforce and bloodline was able to sustain his Water Spirit Divine Change.


    ¡°Stop~~~!¡±


    The Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion roared as he could only watch the last late-stage Small Origin Core Realm fall into the pincer attack of the Water Spirit Giant and the flaming bone giant.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were both using secret techniques that increased their strength to a level stronger than normal late-stage Small Origin Core Realms.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s ripple of water took another attack from the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion head-on, which was able to force the last Small Origin Core Realm into despair.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The last Small Origin Core Realm died from the combined attacks of Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader. His corpse dissolved into a puddle of water and blood in the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    After absorbing the energy and essence of four Sovereigns in a row, the power of the curse reached a stunning level.


    Si!


    The expression of the Gan Cloud Pavilion¡¯s Third Elder changed dramatically as he took a deep breath. He looked extremely lonely as he floated above the smoke.


    ¡°My Water Spirit Divine Change can only last another ten breaths at most.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed as he leapt toward the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion.


    Of course, even in this state, he could only barely fight against a Great Origin Core Realm; he couldn¡¯t truly threaten one.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved the array flag and directed the power of the curse of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. The terrifying air of Death, Yin, and hatred swamped the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion.


    ¡°Cunning bitch¡­!¡±


    The Third Elder waved his hand and shattered the smoke time after time. However, his face started to turn white and his body became uncomfortable.


    His body had been eroding for quite a while now, and his lifeforce and energy were being depleted faster and faster.


    Using this chance, the Water Spirit Giant and the flaming bone giant teamed up and counterattacked.


    Boom! Boom! Bam~~~~


    The three experts clashed within the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    A few breaths later, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s figure retreated as the flames radiating from its body became fainter.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Water Spirit Giant also became a bit dimmer, but the Sovereign Lord¡¯s face was as white as paper and his body was trembling slightly.


    Hundreds and thousands of invisible, dried, white hands were reaching into his body and grabbing his lifeforce and soul.


    From the beginning of the battle, the Sovereign Lord had been in a weak state, and he was still injured from the clash back then.


    Looking closely at him, his skin had started to grow older. In just a short span of ten breaths, he seemed to have aged ten years.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­. Old man, because of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, you¡¯ve lost a lot of your lifespan.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader laughed smugly as the Sovereign Lord¡¯s face became gray, and his skin started to rot, allowing even more power of the curse to enter his body.


    ¡°Bitch, the Gan Cloud Pavilion won¡¯t let you off easily¡­.¡±


    Although the Third Elder was still cursing, there was already fear in the depths of his eyes. After saying that, he circulated his True Yuan and forced his two opponents back.


    Shua!


    In the next instant, the Sovereign Lord¡¯s figure had already flown away.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader raised their heads, and they saw the Sovereign Lord stumble after flying several miles and spit out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°Master, the power of the curse has entered that old man, and he¡¯s now extremely weak. We¡¯re just one step away from killing him.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader said somewhat unwillingly.


    It would be extremely beneficial if the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was able to devour the essence of a Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°I know, but that¡¯s still a Great Origin Core Realm we¡¯re talking about.¡±


    Zhao Feng faintly shook his head as his liquid state became solid again, and he turned pale. Zhao Feng could only maintain the Water Spirit Divine Change secret technique for a limited amount of time since the price to use it was so heavy.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved the black flag and put the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array away in satisfaction.


    Things went much more smoothly than the fight against Lord Hu Suo.


    Most importantly, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even use his eye bloodline.


    The combination of Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader, along with the help of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, was now able to suppress normal Sovereign Lords. The two didn¡¯t even dare to have such a thought half a year ago.


    ¡°Retreat quickly.¡±


    Zhao Feng returned to the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship and ordered.


    In the battle just now, the handful of Sovereigns, including a Sovereign Lord, had attracted the attention of many experts.


    ¡°What a battle. Several Sovereigns died!¡±


    ¡°Who¡¯s in that ship? They managed to kill so many Elders from the Gan Cloud Pavilion. The Gan Cloud Pavilion¡¯s one of the top forces around here.¡±


    Because they were still rather close to the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, many experts witnessed the entire process.


    Sou~~


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship travelled with its fastest speed, which even normal Sovereigns couldn¡¯t catch up to.


    In the blink of an eye, the ship that had slain several Elders from the Gan Cloud Pavilion disappeared.


    Although the culprit already left, this news still shocked several islands within a short span of half a month.


    The Gan Cloud Pavilion was one of the peak one-star clans around, and their strength was only below that of two-star sects.


    Due to the fact that it happened not too long ago, the Gan Cloud Pavilion used all their strength and put a bounty on the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    On a certain day, half a month later, a dark, silent figure flew along the ocean and caused everything nearby to become dead-silent.


    Countless beasts within a thousand miles shook in fear. It was as if their throats had been grasped by the God of Death.


    ¡°That person¡­.¡±


    Nearby experts and Sovereigns felt their hearts jump.


    The tall, dark figure gave everything nearby a feeling of Death to their souls.


    ¡°The intent of the Emperor of Death was once here.¡±


    The tall, dark figure floated nearby the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    Shua!


    His figure then disappeared as he stepped into the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    ¡°What a terrifying aura!¡±


    The Sovereigns guards at the entrance felt their backs become drenched in cold sweat.


    The mysterious figure then left the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace a while later and headed toward an island.


    His speed was almost ten times faster than normal Great Origin Core Realms.


    Songheng area, the Gan Cloud Pavilion¡¯s important grounds, within a large palace:


    Hu~


    The Third Elder let out a long breath as he forced out the black, rotting blood from his body.


    ¡°Luckily, our clan has methods to counter ghost-corpse curses.¡±


    The Third Elder¡¯s expression was weak but happy. If things were dragged out for a couple more days, the curse would have entered his bones. After that, even if he had the entire power of the Gan Cloud Pavilion, there would be nothing they could do.


    ¡°You are the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion?¡±


    A cold and raspy voice seemed to sound from the abyss.


    ¡°You¡­ you are¡­?¡±


    The Third Elder¡¯s bones chilled, and his soul almost flew away in fright.


    A tall figure, who seemed like the representative of Death itself, appeared before him, and a hand covered in black smoke lightly clasped the Third Elder¡¯s neck.


    ¡°Help¡­ help me¡­.¡±


    The Third Elder fell into limitless fear, and the hand covered in black smoke seemed to be the sickle of Death as it suppressed his True Yuan.


    ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ what do you want? I¡¯ll give it all to you.¡±


    The Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion trembled and couldn¡¯t fight back at all.


    ¡°Your soul and life don¡¯t belong to you anymore.¡±


    The tall figure mocked, and his raspy voice made the Third Elder fall into utter despair.


    Shua!


    The other hand of the tall figure was placed upon the Third Elder¡¯s head, and his mind went black as he fell unconscious.


    ¡°Soul Heart Reader.¡±


    A wisp of transparent darkness flowed into the Third Elder¡¯s soul, but he had no reaction. It was as if he had entered a vegetative state.


    A while later, the Third Elder of the Gan Cloud Pavilion fell to the ground. There was no sign of anyone else there, but a voice seemed to murmur in the soul-dimension, ¡°The Pursuit of Death has only just begun¡­. Run. Let¡¯s see how far you can run¡­. I just hope you¡¯re not too weak¡­.¡±

 595 Two Star Battlefield

    Two months later, in the limitless ocean.


    Sou!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship passed through the ocean at a speed almost as fast as a Great Origin Core Realm.


    The journey over the last two months was extremely smooth, and after the heart blood essence was merged into the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, its aura caused nearby beasts to avoid it.


    On top of that, pirates couldn¡¯t do anything to Zhao Feng and company either because their ships were too slow in comparison to the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, and they didn¡¯t dare to attack a ship of such quality anyway.


    Inside the ship:


    ¡°Captain, after two months, we¡¯ve finally reached the edge of the Thousand Flowing Islands Zone. We¡¯re about to enter the next island zone.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui reported.


    The sailors had all improved after two months¡¯ time. With the cleansing of the heart blood essence, their states of existence and their foundations were stronger, and their cultivations were all mainly at the late-stage True Lord Rank.


    The states of existence of a small number of the sailors were even closing in on the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°The next destination ¨C True Martial Sacred Land.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded throughout the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    _True Martial Sacred Land._


    The hearts of the sailors shook, and they were filled with excitement. The True Martial Sacred Land was one of the three Spiritual Sacred Lands within the Cang Ocean.


    One had to know that every Spiritual Sacred Land was in control of several hundred island zones.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that the captain¡¯s destination would be the True Martial Sacred Land.¡±


    ¡°With the captain¡¯s abilities, we might be able to live in the Sacred Land. At that time, we¡¯ll be able to soar as well.¡±


    The sailors discussed.


    ¡°True Martial Sacred Land.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui took a deep breath, and various colors flashed through her eyes.


    Zhao Feng and Loulan Zhishui then started to inspect the map.


    ¡°The True Martial Sacred Land is in the middle of that area. We still need to pass through dozens of island zones to reach it.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui said.


    Dozens of island zones; it was extremely far. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they had the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, they wouldn¡¯t even dare to think about it.


    For normal Sovereigns, the distance between two island zones was already extremely far.


    _Azure Islands Zone¡­ Tianlu Islands Zone¡­ Thousand Flowing Islands Zone¡­ and we¡¯re about to enter a new island zone._


    Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    Unknowingly, he was getting further and further away from the Azure Flower Continent. He still remembered how the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was starting to become active again before he left.


    Right at this moment:


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­.¡±


    A surge of Death air came from within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, and it was enough to shock normal Sovereigns.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, you¡¯ve succeeded.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face as he put his Spiritual Sense into the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    Over the past couple months, the skeletal Division Leader was in seclusion as it absorbed the heart blood essence and the Mystic Dark Crystal Bone, trying to break through to the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that I would break through amidst being enslaved.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader sighed.


    If it was still in the Azure Flower Continent or any other normal place, who knew how long it would take it to break through to the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm?


    ¡°Hehe, enslaved? Skeletal Division Leader, you make it sound like you aren¡¯t very willing.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly.


    Shua!


    The skeletal Division Leader appeared in front of Zhao Feng, and its late-stage Small Origin Core Realm aura even was stronger than others of the same cultivation.


    After all, the skeletal Division Leader had absorbed two barrels of heart blood essence and merged with the Mystic Dark Crystal Bone. His defense was far stronger than others at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    Now, any attack from someone below the Great Origin Core Realm would be unlikely to harm the skeletal Division Leader at all.


    ¡°I can even fight against those at the Great Origin Core Realm without being utterly crushed. If I have the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, my chances of actually winning are even higher.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader felt more confident, and it wasn¡¯t as wary as it faced Zhao Feng.


    The skeletal Division Leader instinctively inspected Zhao Feng, and it jumped up in fright by what it saw. The aura of Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence was like a beast, and the skeletal Division Leader felt as if it was facing a limitless ocean whale.


    ¡°This¡­ how is this possible?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression turned to one disbelief. According to its guesses, Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence was already approaching the peak stage Great Origin Core Realm.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t actually have the cultivation of a Great Origin Core Realm, his state of existence had already surpassed most cultivators.


    Apart from that, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power was also much stronger than before.


    ¡°Even if he used a large amount of heart blood essence, he shouldn¡¯t be able to progress so quickly.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t accept this reality. With such a strong foundation, Zhao Feng¡¯s half-step True Yuan exceeded others¡¯ that had the same cultivation, in terms of both quality _and_ quantity.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, do you have something to say?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled. His state of existence was much stronger than the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s, therefore the latter¡¯s pressure had no effect on him.


    ¡°Something to say¡­? Of course not!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader shook its head.


    He was just about to tell Zhao Feng to change its status as a slave and maybe revise the number of years it had to follow Zhao Feng.


    However, it suddenly realized that its aura wasn¡¯t pressuring Zhao Feng at all. His bloodline and body had strengthened by far too much.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, the strengthening of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array will be left to you.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t mind squeezing every ounce of the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s value.


    Shua!


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s returned to the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl with a crying expression.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng let out a long breath. He was able to stop the skeletal Division Leader for now.


    Everything was because of the Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    Over the last two months, Zhao Feng had repeatedly entered the Ancient Dream Realm, and he was now able to last forty or fifty breaths inside.


    ¡°The moment I reach a hundred breaths, I¡¯ll try walking around¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng had a goal.


    With the strengthening of his body and bloodline, he realized that the effect of the Ancient Dream Realm aura was decreasing.


    In the past, every single wisp of the aura would make him feel as if he was getting stronger, but now he needed to absorb at least a dozen wisps to feel like he was making any progress.


    He could only use quantity to make up for it. This was the same with the heart blood essence.


    However, if news of someone¡¯s state of existence almost reaching the peak Great Origin Core Realm from the peak True Lord Rank in just half a year, it would stun the world.


    Several days later, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship entered the next island zone.


    When the ship passed through one of the islands, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was shaking, and the sounds of battle spread across the sky.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Everyone within the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship felt something was amiss. The disturbance was far too great; it was as if there was a massive battle going on.


    ¡°It¡¯s probably a battle between two-star sects.¡±


    An old sailor said.


    _A battle between two-star sects?_


    None of them could imagine the situation within the island.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng leapt into the air and opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to look into the distance. The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye allowed his senses to heighten.


    ¡°Terrifying.¡±


    The battlefield made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shake.


    Experts from two-star sects shattered mountains and created tidal waves in the sea.


    What was even scarier was that he sensed the magnificent power of Void God Realm Kings. They were like Gods as they shook the battlefield.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even dare to use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to look too closely in case he was sensed by the Void God Realm Kings.


    ¡°Let¡¯s quickly go around this island.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed as he ordered. He didn¡¯t mind taking the long way in order to avoid this battle between two-star sects.


    The power a two-star sect had was too terrifying. They could rule a dozen Azure Flower Continents.


    Whoosh!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship tried its best to go around the island.


    ¡°That island is about the same size as the Azure Flower Continent, and now it has become a battlefield for two-star sects.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    The appearance of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was technically a clash between two-star sects as well.


    ¡°Captain, there¡¯s a group approaching from ahead!¡±


    Loulan Zhishui suddenly exclaimed.


    Zhao Feng looked closely and saw more than a dozen ships fly out from ahead. The biggest ship was even slightly better than the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    There were several hundred experts, all at least at the True Lord Rank; this was probably the reinforcements of one of the two-star sects.


    ¡°Quickly go around them!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s too late.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s voice was full of panic.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    More than a dozen figures flew out from the ship ahead, each at the Origin Core Realm, and two of them were Sovereign Lords.


    ¡°Late-stage Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed.


    One had to know that Lord Hu Suo was only at the early-stage Great Origin Core Realm, possibly approaching the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm at the most, whereas these two newcomers were at the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm and late-stage Great Origin Core Realm respectively.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng felt another terrifying aura from within the biggest ship and estimated that the owner of this aura was at least at the half-step Void God Realm.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡±


    A group from the two-star sect surrounded the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°Captain, what should we do?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s expression changed dramatically. She had never seen such a scene before.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was full of bitterness. He didn¡¯t think that they would still fall into the battle between two-star sects at the end.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just surrender.¡±


    Zhao Feng said as he concealed his aura and made himself look like a normal half-step Origin Core Realm.


    Everyone within the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship held their breaths.


    ¡°Seniors, we¡¯re just businessmen passing by, we don¡¯t want to enter the fight between the sects.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui, who was more charming, went to discuss.


    ¡°Hahaha, businessmen? The Five Mountain Islands Zone has been in chaos for several hundred years and all the islands nearby are battlefields. Never have any businessmen dared to pass through here.¡±


    The black-skinned late-stage Great Origin Core Realm mocked.


    ¡°We¡¯re from the Thousand Flowing Islands Zone, we didn¡¯t know the situation here.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui explained.


    ¡°Shut up. Take them down.¡±


    The black-skinned elder snickered and waved his hand, and some experts stopped the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship. However, the black-skinned elder was surprised when he saw that the person with the highest cultivation was Zhao Feng, only a half-step Origin Core Realm. Therefore, he only stopped the ship and put Zhao Feng and company into a small hall within their ship.

 596 Death Squad

    Within the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, Zhao Feng, Loulan Zhishui, and company were locked inside a small hall.


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s face was pale-white, and the sailors were all panicking. They didn¡¯t know what awaited them.


    Unexpectedly, none of the experts from the two-star sect came to question them.


    ¡°We¡¯re not spies from any other sect! Please let us out!¡±


    A couple sailors screamed.


    ¡°Shut the fuck up. I¡¯ll kill whoever says another word.¡±


    The black-skinned elder¡¯s cold voice sounded. His cultivation had reached the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm, so he was much stronger than the shirt-wearing Sovereign or Lord Hu Suo.


    Within the small hall, the sailors became dead-silent.


    ¡°It seems like the two-star sect doesn¡¯t care about our identities.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. The sect didn¡¯t kill them, but the sect didn¡¯t care about their identities either, so what did they have in mind?


    ¡°There¡¯s another possibility¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice sounded through the Dark Heart Seed.


    _Another possibility?_


    Zhao Feng realized that the situation wasn¡¯t looking good. The skeletal Division Leader had lived through the era of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, which was part of a battle between two-star sects, so it knew quite a bit.


    Right at this moment:


    ¡°Get in.¡±


    The black-skinned elder shouted from outside, and Zhao Feng saw that there were other hostages being forced into the ship.


    The lowest cultivation among them was the late-stage True Lord Rank, but they mainly consisted of peak True Lord Ranks and a couple half-step Origin Core Realms.


    About half the time it took to make tea later, fifty or sixty people had been spread throughout the ship.


    ¡°The Six Ring Palace is being ridiculous. They¡¯re taking us ¨C innocent people ¨C to become part of their death squads.¡±


    ¡°Aye, the Six Ring Palace and the Nine Despair Halls have fought for several hundred years and caused this island zone to become full of famine and destruction. We¡¯re just unlucky.¡±


    Sounds of despair and sadness came from the ship.


    _Death squads?_


    Hearing that, the hearts of Zhao Feng and company shook.


    They finally understood why the two-star sect didn¡¯t ask about their identities; they were all doomed to be cannon fodder.


    ¡°Noo¡­! I don¡¯t want to be cannon fodder.¡±


    Cries came from within the ship. There were many geniuses from various clans here.


    The fear of death enveloped the ship.


    Of the hostages, there were three Sovereigns; two males and one female, who were able to barely keep their calm.


    The two males and one female consisted of a lonely youth, a one-armed elder, and a lady in yellow.


    Among them, the cultivation of the lonely youth was the highest. He had reached the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    The one-armed elder and the lady in yellow were both at the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Li Yunya? Aren¡¯t you the once-in-a-thousand-years genius from the Six Ring Palace who was punished for disobeying the rules? How come you¡¯re here¡­?¡±


    The lady in yellow looked at the lonely youth, who was called Li Yunya.


    ¡°We¡¯re all people that are going to die. What¡¯s the point in fighting against the sect?¡±


    Li Yunya¡¯s face was numb.


    ¡°With Brother Li¡¯s talent, why would you give up so easily? Although we¡¯re a death squad and mere cannon fodder, there¡¯s still a one-in-a-thousand chance to survive.¡±


    The eyes of the one-armed elder twinkled.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, if we all team up, we can survive.¡±


    The ship started to become energetic.


    The three Sovereigns became the leaders of the hostages, and Li Yunya¡¯s fame caused others to look up to him.


    Above the limitless ocean:


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Another few ships approached the main group from the Six Ring Palace. These ships were mainly full of prisoners, and each ship had at least one or two Sovereigns.


    At the center was the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, and there was over a dozen ships here that were full of hostages. Among them, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was one of the stronger ones.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    Screams came from the other side.


    A couple of hostages ran several miles before being killed by experts of the Six Ring Palace, who sniped them with bows.


    ¡°Hmph, if anyone else dares to run away, I¡¯ll kill everyone in their ship.¡±


    A voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell sounded. The hostage ships instantly became silent, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby seemed to freeze.


    ¡°That aura¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a pressure on his soul, and he was unable to even think properly.


    ¡°With a half-step Void God Realm here, don¡¯t even think about it.¡±


    Li Yunya sighed lightly.


    _Half-step Void God Realm._


    The hostages all took in a cold breath, and Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. He guessed that the half-step Void God Realm would only need one thought to destroy the souls of normal Sovereigns.


    Some of the hostages were then split into ships. Being the original ship owners, Zhao Feng and company were responsible for controlling their ship.


    Zhao Feng, Loulan Zhishui, and company all entered the control room.


    Li Yunya and the other two Sovereigns also followed as they discussed tactics.


    ¡°The defense of this ship is pretty good. How fast can it go?¡±


    Li Yunya¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    ¡°It¡¯s slightly faster than a normal Sovereign at its maximum speed.¡±


    Zhao Feng concealed the truth.


    ¡°Enter the battlefield.¡±


    The black-skinned elder and several Great Origin Core Realms watched the hostage ships from behind, and behind _them_ was the main force of the Six Ring Palace.


    Zhao Feng and the other hostage ships were the first round of the death squads ¨C cannon fodder meant to charge directly forward.


    Being a death squad, they would be killed if they were to retreat, but if they kept charging forward, there was at least a glimmer of hope.


    ¡°According to the rules of the Six Ring Palace, if a hostage is able to survive three rounds among the death squads, they¡¯ll be recognized as a disciple of the sect.¡±


    The black-skinned elder smiled.


    __


    _Three times?_


    The hostages felt bitter. Death squads were the first round of cannon fodder. The chance of surviving once was already as low as one-in-a-thousand.


    Of course, one-in-a-thousand still meant hope. Retreating meant absolute death.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    More than a dozen hostage ships started to fly inland.


    The ships soon passed through the barrier, and the air resistance became heavy.


    The target of the Six Ring Palace was a one-star clan with some lakes and rivers nearby.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. The cannon fodder of the Six Ring Palace is here. Everyone, get ready.¡±


    Near the entrance of the clan was a group of people from the two-star sect ¨C the Nine Despair Hall.


    ¡°Kill! You have no path of retreat.¡±


    The black-skinned elder and company watched from behind.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The experts of the Six Ring Palace flew out and formed a semi-circle behind the hostage ships.


    As long as the death squads were able to survive through the first round or two of attacks, then charge into the clan, the Six Ring Palace experts would jump in straight after.


    ¡°Charge!¡±


    The more-than-a-dozen hostage ships had to go forward right into the Nine Despair Hall like moths leaping into fire.


    There were seven or eight Great Origin Core Realms and dozens of Small Origin Core Realms from the Nine Despair Hall. Apart from that, there was also a horde of several thousand people consisting of half-step Origin Core Realms, True Lord Ranks, True Mystic Ranks, and True Human Ranks.


    Facing the air of Death, the bodies of the hostages became weak.


    Boom! Boom! Boom~~~~~


    Bright lights flashed from every direction, washing over the hostage ships.


    This was just the first round of attacks, and over half the ships shattered while some even exploded.


    ¡°Kill~~~~~~!¡±


    A couple of the hostages jumped out of their ships.


    Bam!


    The explosion of a ship was enough to threaten the life of normal Sovereigns.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship remained safe after the first round of attacks due to its defensive array.


    ¡°Hmm? This ship¡¯s defense is stronger than I thought.¡±


    Li Yunya and the other two Sovereigns couldn¡¯t help but be surprised.


    There were a few high-quality ships amongst the hostage ships, and the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was one of the best.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Only half of the ships managed to reach the entrance after the first round of attacks.


    However, at the same time, a large number of experts from the Nine Despair Hall charged out.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    ¡°Ahhhhh~~~~~!¡±


    Screams sounded continuously. It was a slaughterhouse. The Nine Despair Hall had the advantage in both the strength and the number of experts. They instantly killed the death squads.


    Boom!


    Limitless ocean ships continued to explode as the hostages clashed against the experts from the Nine Despair Hall.


    ¡°Agghhh!¡±


    There was also a small number of cannon fodder that ran and were killed by the Six Ring Palace.


    The air of Death spread across the battlefield.


    ¡°Everyone, we can¡¯t just sit here. No matter how strong the ship¡¯s defense is, it¡¯ll be broken soon.¡±


    Li Yunya organized the hostages to attack the experts from the Nine Despair Hall.


    Boom! Boom!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship started to shake against the attacks.


    ¡°Captain, the defensive array is about to break!¡±


    Loulan Zhishui exclaimed.


    Hearing that, the hostages all flew out in case the ship exploded.


    Mockery appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship could last another dozen breaths of so.


    Of course, he would not allow the ship to be damaged.


    _Set the array!_


    Zhao Feng stood on the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship and summoned thirty or forty cursed ghost-corpses that formed dark gray smoke, which covered a radius of a hundred yards. This meant that the attacks from outside were weakened by more than half as they passed through the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, so they posed less of a threat toward the ship.


    ¡°What a unique ghost-corpse array.¡±


    The eyes of Li Yunya and the other two Sovereigns lit up as they gathered toward Zhao Feng.


    Thirty or forty cursed ghost-corpses were still powerful enough to threaten Sovereigns. After all, they had absorbed the blood and essence of many Sovereigns, including the limitless ocean whale.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    A couple half-step Origin Core Realms, and one or two Sovereigns from the Nine Despair Palace, charged into the array. Their strength was weakened, and they were killed by the combined attacks of the three Sovereigns.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­. We¡¯ve eaten another two Sovereigns. This battlefield is a great place for absorbing blood essence and lifeforce.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice sounded from the pearl.


    To conceal his strength and not stand out, Zhao Feng only summoned a portion of his cursed ghost-corpses, and he didn¡¯t even let the skeletal Division Leader out.


    However, Li Yunya and the other two Sovereigns could feel that, after the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array devoured the essence from the dead Sovereigns, the power of the curse became stronger.


    Boom! Boom!


    At this moment, the two-star sects started to clash head-on.


    Of the hostage ships, only Zhao Feng¡¯s wasn¡¯t damaged, but less than 5% of the hostages that were on his ship had survived.

 597 The Little Thieving Cat Attacks

    The clash between the two-star sects shook the heavens and earth.


    Amongst the hostage ships, only Zhao Feng¡¯s Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was able to withstand round after round of attacks, and it finally raised some attention after killing two Sovereigns of the Nine Despair Hall with the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Hmm? Looks like I overlooked them¡­.¡±


    The eyes of the black-skinned elder from the Six Ring Palace lit up. The young captain of the ship was performing excellently after teaming up with the other three Sovereigns. Not only did their ship remain intact, they also slew the enemy.


    Of course, that also meant that the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship attracted more firepower from the Nine Despair Hall.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The dark smoke around the ship started to become faint, and the ship started to shake. The sailors within the ship were unable to stand steadily.


    ¡°Luckily, we strengthened the ship back then.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui inspected the ship and saw that there was no obvious damage to it. This was mainly because Zhao Feng¡¯s Ghost Corpse Cursed Array decreased the pressure and the other three Sovereigns were able to block the remaining firepower.


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved the array flag and made the dark smoke focus on defense. He then secretly increased the number of ghost-corpses to fifty.


    ¡°We can¡¯t enter the battlefield.¡±


    Zhao Feng restrained his thoughts of slaying the enemy. He made the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship appear as if it was becoming unstable and tried to move away from the center of the battlefield.


    Bam! Bam! Boom~~~~


    However, even then, four Sovereigns and dozens of other experts attacked the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°Captain, with your ship¡¯s durability, we have a bit of hope to escape the battlefield.¡±


    Hope appeared in the eyes of the three Sovereigns. Not many people apart from a small number of Great Origin Core Realms could actually damage the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship due to its defense and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Now¡¯s not the time.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head. He could still feel the experts from the Six Ring Palace watching their every action from behind.


    The Spiritual Sense of the half-step Void God Realm even scanned over them once.


    ¡°The best chance is when the two sides are engaged in battle.¡±


    Zhao Feng had his own plans. Right now, all he wanted to do was not enter the center of the fight while still killing as many Sovereigns as possible in order to increase the strength of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Master, the array has now devoured about ten Sovereigns.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl was extremely excited.


    As long as it was able to devour the essence of a hundred Sovereigns, the array¡¯s strength would rise to an entirely new level.


    On the battlefield, the two-star sects poured in more and more experts into the fight.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    Another scream came from within the smoke as an enemy Sovereign turned into a puddle of blood and was absorbed by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. In reality, this was already Zhao Feng trying to be low-key. If the enemy Sovereigns didn¡¯t enter the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, he wouldn¡¯t attack them.


    ¡°That ship¡¯s really weird.¡±


    Several Sovereigns maintained a certain distance from the ship and attacked from far away. They thought that, as long as they didn¡¯t get close to the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, there would be nothing to fear.


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly.


    ¡°Increase the speed and charge.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui received an order and proceeded to control the ship.


    The agility and speed of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship made everyone click their tongues.


    Peng! Boom!


    A half-step Origin Core Realm and several True Lord Ranks were smashed into pieces.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­. Even I want to come out now.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t help itself, but Zhao Feng rolled his eyes.


    His orders didn¡¯t allow for the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship to run away nor enter the center of the battle because both sides had only put in a portion of their troops and still hadn¡¯t fully engaged yet.


    Zhao Feng had to wait until both sides were fully engaged before thinking about running.


    Fortunately, as time passed, the Six Ring Palace put in more of their troops.


    One had to admit that Zhao Feng¡¯s death squad was useful and gave the Six Ring Palace a good opening that they used to charge forward.


    ¡°If we kill another couple Sovereigns and then stall another few, the Six Ring Palace will decide to go all-in.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved.


    ¡°Start to move toward the center.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered, and the sailors all obeyed their captain.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, what the hell are you doing?¡±


    ¡°We finally left the center. Putting aside the fact that we¡¯re not even running away, you want to enter the middle of the fight?¡±


    The expressions of the one-armed elder and lady in yellow changed dramatically. They finally lasted through the cannon fodder phase and left the center of the fight, and now they were going back in again?


    ¡°Listen to me if you want to live.¡±


    Zhao Feng said coldly.


    ¡°Stop him!¡±


    The lady in yellow leapt toward Zhao Feng who was still holding the array flag from the side. Zhao Feng snickered coldly and was about to attack when he felt something on his shoulder.


    Miao miao!


    A gray-silver streak flashed through the air.


    In the next instant:


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    The body of the lady in yellow froze.


    Shua!


    A dark, transparent, mysterious dagger was locked onto her neck, and there was a small bloody gash. A cold intent went to the bottom of her soul.


    ¡°Forgive¡­ forgive me¡­¡±


    The lady in yellow saw a small, cunning, gray-silver cat from the corner of her eyes.


    ¡°Such speed. How did it do that?¡±


    Li Yunya, who was the strongest of the three Sovereigns, took in a cold breath. Even he couldn¡¯t see how the little thieving cat moved.


    It was as if the little thieving cat had the ability to pass through space.


    ¡°Good job, little thieving cat. If anyone else does anything unusual, you can just kill them immediately.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled in satisfaction.


    Over the last half a year, the little thieving cat had used the heart blood essence and the Ancient Dream Realm aura alongside Zhao Feng. Even Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know the cat¡¯s full abilities now.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat disappeared with a flash as it returned to the ancient metal ring with a streak of gray and silver.


    ¡°Go closer.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved the array flag and ordered the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship to slowly approach the center of the battlefield.


    As expected, more firepower was drawn to the ship, but Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t limited to the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array anymore.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning!¡±


    A pair of faint purple-colored wings condensed behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back. The wind whistled and thunder boomed.


    Crackle!


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning fluttered as Zhao Feng approached a Sovereign who was near the array.


    ¡°Blade of Purple Destruction!¡±


    A thin, purple blade formed in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand, and it radiated an aura of Destruction.


    Boom!


    The Sovereign was able to circulate his True Yuan to form a defensive barrier, but he was still cut in two.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The bloodied corpse was devoured by the smoke of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Kill that brat!¡±


    Only then did a few Sovereigns nearby react, but Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning fluttered once more as he returned to the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    The entire process only took a single breath.


    ¡°My Blade of Purple Destruction already formed while I was moving.¡±


    Zhao Feng returned to the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array after killing a Sovereign easily.


    Li Yunya and the other two Sovereigns were stunned, and the lady in yellow felt lucky.


    Under Zhao Feng¡¯s control, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship cruised around the edges of the center without fully entering.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t satisfied with just killing Sovereigns within the confines of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. He would also attack anyone nearby, and two Sovereigns were soon killed.


    Hu~~~


    The power of the curse from the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array became stronger, and nearby Sovereigns didn¡¯t even dare to approach the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°Let me.¡±


    An Origin Core Realm male clad in black armor and holding a halberd charged toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Great Origin Core Realm!¡±


    The expressions of Li Yunya and company all changed. They didn¡¯t think that they could fight against a Great Origin Core Realm by themselves.


    ¡°Get ready to retreat.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered as he opened the defensive array of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship to the maximum.


    Shua! Shua!


    At the same time, he increased the number of cursed ghost-corpses to sixty.


    ¡°Attack together!¡±


    Zhao Feng waved the black flag and formed a mist-dragon that clashed with the black-armored male. At the same time, the other three Sovereigns all used their secret techniques.


    ¡°Ten-Sided Destruction!¡±


    The black-armored Great Origin Core Realm caused the environment to change, and a cold glint of light swept across the sky.


    One could feel the overwhelming pressure and force of the light before it even arrived, and everyone on the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship felt unable to breathe.


    Boom!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship shook furiously and was pushed back half a mile.


    Wah! Wah!


    The one-armed elder and the lady in yellow both immediately spat out blood, but Li Yunya was strong enough that he wasn¡¯t harmed after the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array reduced the light¡¯s power.


    Hu~~


    The smoke-clouds formed by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array instantly dimmed, but surprisingly, Zhao Feng, a half-step Origin Core Realm, wasn¡¯t injured.


    A ripple of water had appeared around him, which allowed him to remain unharmed.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Spear!¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly threw the array flag to the side and circulated his Ice Water Bloodline, condensing the phantom of a spear, which radiated an intense cold that swept toward the Great Origin Core Realm.


    The others were curious as to why Zhao Feng threw the array flag to the side, no longer seeming to care about it.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared once more and caught the array flag.


    Pa!


    Cat paws formed from the power of the curse and attacked the black-armored man from every direction.


    Li Yunya and the other two Sovereigns were shocked.


    ¡°The fuck? That cat¡­¡±


    The eyes of the skeletal Division Leader in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl almost fell out. The array flag was given to the little thieving cat.


    That meant that Zhao Feng and the other three Sovereigns were now comparable to at least four Sovereigns.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence was almost at the peak Great Origin Core Realm, and it was only getting stronger by the day. The power of the Ice Imperial Spear was enough to defeat anyone at the Small Origin Core Realm, and it could even threaten those at the Great Origin Core Realm.

 598 Devouring

    Near the center of the battlefield, the four ¡°hostages¡± teamed up and fought against the Sovereign Lord in black armor.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Spear!¡±


    After giving the little thieving cat the array flag, Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power and waved the Ice Imperial Spear, creating brilliant crystal-blue lights that radiated a forbidden coldness and froze everything nearby.


    At the same time, the Wings of Wind and Lightning on Zhao Feng¡¯s back released wisps of Purple Destruction that crashed toward the Sovereign Lord.


    Apart from his eye-bloodline, Zhao Feng used all his skills to fight against the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Although Li Yunya and company were shocked, they still used their full strength to help fight against the Sovereign Lord.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually a rare, ancient inheritance weapon¡­.¡±


    The black-armored Sovereign Lord squinted his eyes. He actually wasn¡¯t able to take down a group of mere cannon fodder with his middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm cultivation; did he even have any face left?


    ¡°Ten-Sided Destruction!¡±


    The black-armored Sovereign Lord waved his halberd and released powerful beams of cold light toward the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    Boom! Boom! Boom~~~~


    The ship started to shake and rattle, causing the surrounding array-mist to split apart.


    The attacks of Zhao Feng and company were instantly broken.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the array flag and directed the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to repair the gaps.


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had devoured the essence of many Sovereigns and become much stronger, so it was able to supply continuous amounts of force.


    ¡°That array is troublesome¡­.¡±


    The Sovereign Lord¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. Although he had the advantage with his Earth-Grade weapon, he still couldn¡¯t take them down quickly.


    _I¡¯ve only used two-thirds of the cursed ghost-corpses._


    Zhao Feng nodded his head as he used the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array as cover and counterattacked.


    He had improved a lot in the last half-year; even without using his eye-bloodline power, his strength was getting close to the Great Origin Core Realm.


    That was already stunning in the eyes of the two-star sects¡¯ experts.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe, a random person we caught on the way has such capabilities?¡±


    The black-skinned elder watching from behind was extremely surprised. The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was just cannon fodder, yet it was able to stall a Great Origin Core Realm; this was a huge boon for them.


    ¡°Full-scale attack!¡±


    The half-step Void God Realm¡¯s voice sounded from the Six Ring Palace¡¯s side. They definitely wouldn¡¯t pass up such a good chance since their advantage was so big now.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The two forces put in more of their troops, and Zhao Feng became happy. This was just what he wanted; the more chaotic the situation, the more likely it was he would be able to retreat safely.


    However, the black-skinned elder was still extremely cautious as he maintained a certain proximity to the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°Kid, if we win, the Six Ring Palace will take away your identity as a hostage and we¡¯ll take you in as one of us.¡±


    The black-skinned elder said through Spiritual Sense to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Deal.¡±


    Zhao Feng pretended to be overjoyed and used more effort to attack the Sovereign Lord. A cold smile appeared on the black elder¡¯s face as he thought to himself, ¡°That brat¡¯s ghost-corpse array and his inheritance weapon are unusual. He¡¯ll be ready to be slaughtered after the battle¡¯s over.¡±


    Of course, for the moment, Zhao Feng still had a lot of value. As time passed, the fight became fiery hot.


    Zhao Feng maintained his calm as he conserved a bit of his strength. He only used two-thirds of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and he didn¡¯t let the skeletal Division Leader enter the battle.


    He also didn¡¯t believe what the black-skinned elder promised.


    ¡°The time¡¯s about right¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng made the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship cruise around the edge of the battlefield¡¯s center. The Sovereign Lord in black armor followed, but neither side was able to finish off the other.


    On the other hand, the cruising of the ship made the situation more chaotic.


    ¡°Arghhhh!¡±


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array around the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship devoured True Lord Ranks and half-step Origin Core Realms.


    Anyone below the Origin Core Realm would turn into a puddle of blood and water after touching the curse.


    Ultimately, Zhao Feng no longer even cared about ¡°friend¡± or foe. If the timing was right and there were experts from the Six Ring Palace around, they would also be eaten by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    They pretended that the damage done to the Six Ring Palace experts was because of the clash with the Great Origin Core Realm and that they were unable to avoid collateral damage.


    ¡°Zhe zhe¡­. If we kill three more Sovereigns, the array will have devoured twenty Sovereigns.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl felt its heart itch. More than a dozen Sovereigns had been devoured by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and many of them came from this battlefield.


    They didn¡¯t necessarily need to kill every single one either; they could also devour the bodies of Sovereigns that were recently killed elsewhere.


    ¡°This is indeed a good chance.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but become excited. He increased the number of ghost-corpses to over seventy and expanded the range of the smoke.


    The Sovereign Lord in black armor felt the pressure increase. At the beginning, he could still force the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship to retreat, but now, all he could do was follow the ship.


    __


    _Wait!_


    The black-armored Sovereign Lord wasn¡¯t dumb; he soon realized that Zhao Feng was devouring half-step Origin Core Realms and Sovereigns to strengthen the power of his array.


    ¡°Ridiculous! He dares use a two-star battlefield to increase the power of his array?¡±


    The Sovereign Lord was shocked and angry at the same time, but the Nine Despair Hall was currently being suppressed by the Six Ring Palace.


    The half-step Void God Realm suppressed the strongest two peak Great Origin Core Realms from the Nine Despair Hall, and if it weren¡¯t for the fact that they had the help of a protective array, they would¡¯ve lost ages ago.


    ¡°Captain Zhao, the result hasn¡¯t been decided yet. This is the perfect chance for us to escape.¡±


    Li Yunya suggested.


    The three Sovereigns were injured. They didn¡¯t have Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence or his Water bloodline that could help them heal; up to now, Zhao Feng was still unharmed.


    ¡°It _is_ about time.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head faintly, even though he was slightly unwilling. This was a two-star battlefield, and devouring Sovereigns here was a good chance to strengthen his Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    However, he knew the current situation; when the battle was decided, he wouldn¡¯t be a match for whoever was left.


    ¡°Turn left and retreat toward the edge.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered. He pretended that his bloodline power was running out as the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship started to retreat.


    ¡°Hmph, that brat¡¯s not even at the Origin Core Realm, how long can his True Yuan and bloodline last?¡±


    The black-armored Sovereign Lord¡¯s heart jumped as he released his power.


    Boom!


    Shockwaves blew across the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    Zhao Feng and company blocked it while running at the same time.


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship soon reached the edge of the battlefield, but the Sovereign Lord chased after them as he laughed.


    He couldn¡¯t help but feel excited when thinking about owning such a high-quality ship and powerful ghost-corpse array.


    ¡°Increase the speed!¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly and made the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship release its true speed.


    Whoosh!


    The ship streaked across the sky and left the battlefield.


    The speed of it stunned the experts from both sides.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Being a Sovereign Lord, the male in black armor was slightly faster. After all, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship¡¯s fastest speed was only close to the Great Origin Core Realm. However, even then, that was already considered unbelievable.


    ¡°If that Sovereign Lord keeps chasing us, we won¡¯t be able to escape.¡±


    Li Yunya and the other two Sovereigns couldn¡¯t help but cry.


    If this continued, they would most likely be unable to escape the pursuit of the Great Origin Core Realm. They would just be stalling for time.


    ¡°Captain Zhao, why don¡¯t we run in different directions? That way, our chances of survival will be higher.¡±


    The one-armed elder suggested.


    He and the lady in yellow could see that the black-armored Sovereign Lord¡¯s target was Zhao Feng and the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    ¡°Do what you want.¡±


    Zhao Feng remained expressionless.


    Now that they had escaped the center of the battlefield, he didn¡¯t care about two injured Sovereigns.


    On the other hand, Li Yunya¡¯s eyes twinkled, and he didn¡¯t make a decision.


    Sou! Sou!


    The one-armed elder and the lady in yellow ran in different directions.


    As expected, the Sovereign Lord didn¡¯t chase after them.


    Hu~


    The two let out a long breath. They finally escaped the shadow of death.


    However, before they could even fully calm down, a powerful aura caused the environment to be dyed scarlet-red.


    _What!?_


    The expressions of the two Sovereigns changed dramatically as they saw the black-skinned Elder fly over. He was at the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm, so he was even stronger than the black-armored Sovereign Lord from before.


    ¡°Scarlet Cloud Hand!¡±


    The black-skinned elder thrusted out a palm, and a scarlet-red light dyed half the sky red.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The lady in yellow screamed as the flames sealed off her location.


    Boom!


    Her body was crushed into pieces by the Scarlet Cloud Hand.


    ¡°Forgive¡­ Forgive me¡­.¡±


    The remaining one-armed elder felt as if he was travelling through mud; his every action was heavy.


    The strength of the black-skinned elder was far stronger than normal Sovereign Lords. If he had been the one chasing them, they wouldn¡¯t have survived up to now.


    ¡°All those that run are to be killed.¡±


    The black-skinned elder emotionlessly crushed down with his Scarlet Cloud Hand, ending the one-armed elder.


    The two Sovereigns were like babies in front of him.


    ¡°Hm? That direction.¡±


    The black-skinned elder scanned the area with his Spiritual Sense and confirmed where the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship and the Great Origin Core Realm went.


    At this moment, on the battlefield, the Six Ring Palace had the advantage. That was why the black-skinned elder had time to chase those that ran away.


    It would be perfect if he could slay the enemy Sovereign Lord as well.


    In the limitless ocean, near the two-star battlefield.


    A tall, mysterious, cold figure floated over like a ghost. Although its speed seemed slow, it was actually several times faster than normal Sovereign Lords.


    Wherever he went, the limitless ocean became silent.


    ¡°Two-star battlefield? Do you think hiding there will save you from the Pursuit of Death?¡±

 599 My Reinforcemen

    Inland:


    Whoosh!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship flew with all its speed and sped away from the battlefield.


    The black-armored Sovereign Lord laughed as he chased them.


    Currently, only Zhao Feng and Li Yunya were left to defend the ship.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you run away earlier?¡±


    Zhao Feng was still calm in the face of being pursued by a Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Run? I couldn¡¯t have, nor did I want to.¡±


    Li Yunya shook his head.


    _Oh?_


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be curious. He had detected that the other two Sovereigns were killed, but his mental energy was much stronger than Li Yunya.


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Captain Zhao, I would have died as cannon fodder on the battlefield. No cannon fodder has ever escaped from the overseer of the Six Ring Palace death squads before.¡±


    Li Yunya said bitterly.


    _Overseer?_


    The image of the black-skinned elder¡¯s cold expression appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    ¡°No wonder.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood. The overseer was the black-skinned elder who would kill anyone that ran.


    ¡°Brat, how dare you not give me your full attention when I¡¯m chasing you?¡±


    The Sovereign Lord behind them roared and slashed his halberd multiple times, filling the area with killing intent and danger.


    Ding! Ding! Boom~~~~


    The smoke from the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was sliced into different bits and was about to fade away.


    A mark was also left on the surface of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    Wah!


    Li Yunya staggered and spat out a mouthful of blood as his face went white.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s blood boiled, but a ripple of water appeared around him, which allowed him to stay unharmed.


    ¡°Even if the overseer doesn¡¯t come, we still won¡¯t be able to survive.¡±


    Helplessness appeared in Li Yunyua¡¯s eyes. Thinking back, he was once a genius of the Six Ring Palace who broke through to the Origin Core Realm when he was only thirty years old, and he reached the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm when he was fifty.


    ¡°This feeling of danger¡­!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart suddenly jumped as he glanced toward the direction of the ocean.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The feeling of danger was ten times stronger, and it was only getting more intense.


    The Pursuit of Death had finally arrived.


    Zhao Feng sighed. Most of his attention was now put toward the ocean.


    ¡°Hahaha. Brat, you seem to know that you will die either way. You should be happy that you were able to play with me before your death.¡±


    The black-armored Sovereign Lord laughed as his Great Origin Core Realm aura enveloped the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    Li Yunya was filled with despair, but he looked over and saw that the youth next to him was much calmer.


    ¡°Your hair and eye¡­¡±


    Li Yunya suddenly realized something.


    Hu~


    With a gentle gust of wind, Zhao Feng¡¯s hair turned blue, and his left eye seemed to become a bottomless lake.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was able to see a tall figure of Death approaching inland. It would arrive within thirty breaths.


    The Pursuit of Death. The intent from the Eye of Death in his soul twitched.


    ¡°Eye-bloodline? How futile¡­. Die!¡±


    The Sovereign Lord mocked as he slashed forward with his halberd, which was aimed at both Zhao Feng and Li Yunya.


    _Set the array!_


    A dark skeleton with gold and silver lines on it suddenly appeared next to Zhao Feng, and it gave off a cold aura.


    ¡°There¡¯s another person?¡±


    Although they were both at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, the skeleton¡¯s aura was much more terrifying.


    At the same instant:


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The number of cursed ghost-corpses reached one hundred.


    Weng~


    A ghostly cloud appeared and radiated a shocking amount of curse-power, which turned into several cat paws. Each paw was a couple hundred yards big under the cat¡¯s control, and they clashed toward the Sovereign Lord. Countless dried, bloody, white hands followed in pursuit.


    ¡°Ice Emperor Descending!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power was circulated to the maximum, and his Ice Imperial Spear glittered with a faint purplish aura of Destruction. Even more incredibly, there was a faint, magnificent image of an ancient Ice Emperor above Zhao Feng¡¯s head.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­ take this palm!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader turned into a flaming bone giant and thrusted its palm, which contained flames of Death and Yin, toward the Sovereign Lord.


    A hundred cursed ghost-corpses.


    Ice Emperor Descending.


    Flaming bone giant.


    Boom!


    The three shocking powers clashed with the black-armored Sovereign Lord.


    A shockwave instantly washed over more than a dozen miles and turned the ground to nothing.


    No grass would grow on the ground below for the next several hundred years, and it would turn into a cursed land.


    Bam! Wah!


    The Sovereign Lord groaned as he was sent flying and coughed out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°Why is it like this¡­!?¡±


    The Sovereign Lord¡¯s face turned white, and he exclaimed in disbelief.


    The array and the skeleton that appeared out of nowhere could both threaten those at the Great Origin Core Realm. Even Zhao Feng¡¯s Ice Imperial Spear managed to channel the power of the ancient Ice Emperor.


    The sudden counterattack injured the black-armored Sovereign Lord.


    ¡°So strong! What is the background of this youth and everyone on board?¡±


    Li Yunya was filled with disbelief.


    As the Sovereign Lord was deciding whether to retreat or attack:


    ¡°It¡¯s getting close¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye once again looked toward the direction of the ocean as he murmured to himself with uneasiness.


    ¡°Master, another Sovereign Lord seems to have arrived.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader sensed something.


    The newcomer was the black-skinned elder; the overseer of the death squads.


    ¡°We need to finish one off quickly or it¡¯ll become troublesome.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s face was solemn.


    ¡°En.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head faintly as he locked on to the black-armored Sovereign Lord with his left eye.


    _Eye-bloodline? What a terrifying eye-bloodline aura._


    Li Yunya, who was standing nearby, felt his soul become uneasy.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline technique shot out.


    Shu!


    With a splatter of blood, the black-armored Sovereign Lord¡¯s body stiffened, and he revealed a look of panic and fear.


    ¡°You¡­!¡±


    The Sovereign Lord tried to say something and instinctively looked down.


    Sii!


    Li Yunya took in a deep breath and his hairs stood up. Waves roared in his heart as he looked toward the young captain with shock.


    At this instant in time, everyone inside and outside the ship was dead-silent.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s Void Space Eye Slash is even stronger than before.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s face was filled with solemnness.


    Plop!


    The black-armored Sovereign Lord¡¯s body fell from the sky.


    Li Yunya let out a breath, but he was unable to calm down.


    A youth merely looked at a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord to kill him.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat laughed and waved the array flag, sending black smoke to devour the body of the black-armored Sovereign Lord.


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and took the spoils of war.


    Sou!


    The sound of flying appeared as the black-skinned elder arrived.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The black-skinned elder looked around and was surprised that the black-armored Sovereign Lord wasn¡¯t here.


    He felt the Sovereign¡¯s aura while chasing them, but now it was gone.


    ¡°You killed him?¡±


    The black-skinned elder scanned around with his Spiritual Sense and saw the body of the black-armored Sovereign Lord rotting into a pile of blood and water inside the array.


    This scene instantly made him on guard.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe¡­. Old man, it¡¯s your turn now.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader laughed and charged toward him as flames rose from its body.


    ¡°Ice Emperor Descending!¡±


    The faint image of an Ice Emperor appeared above his head, and the Ice Imperial Spear released a brilliant glow of light as it created a tornado of ice and lightning.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the array flag, and the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s curse attacked the black-skinned elder from both sides, complementing Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader.


    This time, the power of the combination was even stronger than before.


    ¡°Scarlet Cloud Hand!¡±


    The black-skinned elder¡¯s expression became solemn, and the sky was dyed scarlet-red as a large, shining hand formed.


    Boom~~~~


    The Scarlet Cloud Hand brought the power of fire down with it, causing the world to rage with flames.


    The two forces clashed for a couple breaths.


    Boom!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship was pushed back hundreds of yards into a mountain. The smoke around the ship instantly faded by more than half.


    Crack!


    A bone or two in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body broke.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, but his injuries started to heal from the ripple of water.


    ¡°What mastery in the element of fire.¡±


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader were stunned. Not only had the black-skinned elder reached the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm, he even had a fire bloodline and a special inheritance technique.


    ¡°The strength of the overseer can be ranked within the top five Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords in the Six Ring Palace, and he has received a powerful fire inheritance.¡±


    Li Yunya warned through Spiritual Sense.


    Hu~


    The black-skinned elder¡¯s figure flashed as he retreated several hundred yards. His eyebrows furrowed. Although he wasn¡¯t injured just now, he felt as if there was something on his body that made him feel uncomfortable.


    ¡°The future generation sure is talented. A measly half-step Origin Core Realm and a Sovereign can block 70% of my strength.¡±


    The black-skinned elder sighed.


    _70%?_


    Zhao Feng felt weird. Why was this old man pretending to be all high and mighty?


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any time left to consider that anymore; a strong surge of Death was approaching, and it sensed the intent of the Eye of Death in his soul.


    Right at that moment:


    Whoosh~~~~


    A dark beam of light created sparks as it sped past the barrier and headed toward Zhao Feng¡¯s direction.


    ¡°Representing the intent of Death¡­ I am here.¡±


    A voice sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    _Hmm? Who¡¯s there?_


    The black-skinned elder and company all sensed something. Li Yunya and the sailors all felt the aura of Death, and it made them unable to breathe.


    ¡°Unfortunately, my reinforcement has arrived. Expert from the Six Ring Palace, your life ends here.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed and said.

 600 Terrifying Figure of Death

    ¡°Reinforcement?¡±


    The expression of the black-skinned elder changed dramatically as he sensed something.


    Whoosh~~~~


    A beam of dark light was speeding toward their direction.


    He believed 70-80% of what Zhao Feng said, mainly because Zhao Feng kept paying attention to that direction for a while now and obviously knew about the existence of the ¡°reinforcement.¡±


    ¡°What a terrifying aura of Death! This newcomer¡¯s cultivation is at least at the peak stage Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    The black-skinned elder was shocked. He seemed to think of the figure as a great foe, but he showed no signs of retreating.


    Shua!


    The black-skinned elder left his current fight and shot into the sky. He released his aura of Fire as he headed toward the figure of Death.


    ¡°He¡¯s¡­!¡±


    Zhao Feng and company felt their bodies become hot and their mouths go dry.


    ¡°Scarlet Cloud Sky Explosion!¡±


    The black-skinned elder released waves of scarlet-red flaming clouds, which scorched everything within dozens of miles into nothing. The black-skinned elder¡¯s magnificent power even shocked the faraway battlefield.


    ¡°What a scary Fire bloodline!¡±


    Zhao Feng and company on the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship were stunned. He felt that, even if he used the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and teamed up with the skeletal Division Leader, they still wouldn¡¯t be able to block that attack.


    At the same time, he couldn¡¯t help but admire the black-skinned elder¡¯s decisiveness in immediately attacking the unknown figure to seize the initiative.


    ¡°Scarlet Cloud Sky Explosion~~~~~!¡±


    The scarlet sun exploded, and it seemed to devour the earth as it smashed toward the figure of Death.


    ¡°Hmph! How dare this old man attack the Representative of Death?¡±


    The tall figure snickered and became even faster.


    Whoosh! Boom~~~~


    The scarlet-red and the black figures clashed. The heavens and earth twinkled with light as darkness, the air of Death, and the flames scattered everywhere. The sound of the explosion surpassed the limit of the human ear.


    Just the shockwave alone melted the mountains and rivers below.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array around the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship started to dissipate, and the shockwave caused the ship to sway.


    Wah!


    Li Yunya spat out a mouthful of blood, and that was after the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array decreased the power of the attack by 30-40%.


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader both panicked.


    Bo~~~


    A ripple of water flowed over Zhao Feng, which tried to weaken the shockwave.


    ¡°This black-skinned elder¡¯s strength is probably among the peak of Great Origin Core Realms¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and inspected the fight from afar.


    ¡°Scarlet Cloud Sky Explosion? Not good! Elder Wei¡¯s probably met a strong foe or else he wouldn¡¯t use that secret technique.¡±


    Experts from the Six Ring Palace sensed from afar.


    Ding! Ding! Boom!


    The black-skinned elder and the figure of Death clashed again. The black-skinned elder¡¯s attacks were like a volcano obliterating everything in its path, whereas the figure of Death fought in a mysterious manner.


    ¡°Old man, your strength is okay, but you¡¯re interfering with my mission.¡±


    A faint, transparent-black blade suddenly appeared in the figure of Death¡¯s hand, and it was surrounded by black mist.


    Fwoosh!


    The faint, transparent-black blade flashed through the air and sliced straight through the scarlet-red flames into the black-skinned elder.


    ¡°You¡­!¡±


    The black-skinned elder¡¯s body froze. Even though he tried to dodge, the faint, black blade still stabbed into his right shoulder.


    The cold intent of Death instantly spread throughout his body. It was enough to instantly kill normal Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords, but the black-skinned elder wasn¡¯t simple either. The rank of his bloodline was comparable to Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Crack!


    The black-skinned elder circulated his bloodline power forcefully and cut off his right arm with a flash of scarlet flames.


    He managed to save his life at the cost of his arm.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    The figure of Death¡¯s voice was full of coldness as he charged toward the black-skinned elder.


    ¡°My life ends here¡­.¡±


    The black-skinned elder¡¯s heart shook. The opponent¡¯s speed was way faster than his.


    In terms of offense, he had a powerful Fire bloodline that specialized in attacking, and it wasn¡¯t much weaker than the enemy, but the opponent had that faint, transparent-black blade that contained the intent of Death. It had surpassed the limits of the Origin Core Realm and could even threaten Void God Realms.


    Why did such a terrifying enemy appear at a mere two-star battlefield?


    ¡°Your reinforcement is far too monstrous. The overseer wasn¡¯t even able to withstand two blows from him.¡±


    Li Yunya took in a cold breath. This expert was unparalleled against those under the Void God Realm.


    ¡°Eye of Ice Soul!¡±


    Zhao Feng roared as his left eye turned into a freezing pond.


    A weird, frosty aura locked on to the figure of Death.


    Only Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could manage something like locking on to the figure of Death¡¯s movements, and just barely at that.


    Over the last half a year, his state of existence and cultivation had both dramatically increased, and the lake in his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had expanded to more than thirty yards.


    Shuuu!


    The figure of Death¡¯s speed only decreased by 10-20% under the lockdown of the Eye of Ice Soul.


    ¡°My eye-bloodline and God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could only decrease his speed by that much?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart dropped.


    The Eye of Ice Soul was his strongest controlling technique, and it could slow the speed of normal Sovereigns to a turtle¡¯s pace. Even the speed of normal Great Origin Core Realms would be decreased by at least half.


    Luckily, the 10-20% decrease in speed was enough to slow down the figure of Death¡¯s killing move.


    Shua!


    A bloody gash was left on the black-skinned elder¡¯s back, which caused him to groan.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    The black-skinned elder found that the person who saved him was Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t he your reinforcement?¡±


    Li Yunya was puzzled.


    Boom!


    However, at this critical moment of life-or-death, the black-skinned elder circulated his True Yuan and bloodline power. He released terrifying clouds of fire as he charged toward the figure of Death.


    ¡°The opponent¡¯s speed is too fast. I will die if I run, but if I give it my all, I might be able to stall until reinforcements arrive.¡±


    The black-skinned elder¡¯s mind was clear and calm.


    The two combatants weren¡¯t even at the same level even though the black-skinned elder¡¯s strength was amongst the best of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Death will always come, no matter what you do.¡±


    The figure of Death¡¯s faint, transparent-black blade flashed across the sky and released an aura of Death.


    Whoosh!


    The black-skinned elder screamed once again. Blood splattered as he was sent flying dozens of yards.


    If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Ice Soul that was restricting the figure of Death¡¯s speed and agility, that blade might have killed him.


    ¡°I can only use my Void Space Eye Slash three or four more times.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was gathering power as it locked on to the figure of Death.


    The figure¡¯s movements were too fast and weird. The chances of the Void Space Eye Slash succeeding were much lower than usual.


    The reason why he could kill the black-armored Sovereign Lord so easily earlier was because he was already injured.


    Shua!


    The figure of Death flew closer and slashed out a third blade.


    The aura of Death had already seeped into the black-skinned elder¡¯s body, and he was heavily injured ¨C he would not be able to survive the third blade.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s heartrate sped up. He would be next after the black-skinned elder.


    ¡°Stop~~~!¡±


    A voice that shook the soul seemed to come from hell itself, and it had an unwavering intent. In that instant, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi seemed to freeze, and a power pressured everyone¡¯s soul.


    ¡°Half-step Void God Realm¡­. Void God intent¡­.¡±


    The figure of Death¡¯s attack paused.


    The half-step Void God Realm was still several hundred miles away as he emitted his Void God intent toward the figure of Death.


    A normal Sovereign would probably have already been killed by such an intent, and even normal Great Origin Core Realms would be injured and panic.


    Hu!


    The black-skinned elder was able to escape the jaws of death once again, and he glared at Zhao Feng.


    He felt both angry and fortunate. If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Ice Soul and the Void God intent, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to survive.


    ¡°Hmph! You think the intent of a measly half-step Void God Realm is enough to stop me?¡±


    The figure of Death smiled as the faint, black blade in his hand released an intent of Death that clashed with the intent of the half-step Void God Realm.


    Boom!


    The power of their souls clashed, and the weaker beings within a thousand-mile radius were killed.


    Loulan Zhishui and the sailors within the ship immediately fainted.


    ¡°The intent of a Void God Realm is unstoppable. The mere thought of a Void God Realm King is enough to decide the life or death of all those at the True Spirit Realm and Origin Core Realm. Everyone below Kings are ants.¡±


    A ripple blew over the lake in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye. Luckily, his soul was strong, and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was resilient against mental energy.


    Zhao Feng was the luckiest one in the range of the clash between intents.


    ¡°The intent of Death¡­. Who are you!?¡±


    The expression of the half-step Void God Realm from the Six Ring Palace changed dramatically.


    His intent was blocked just by the intent of a weapon. On top of that, the intent of Death from the weapon was slowly eroding into his soul.


    ¡°Not good! My Void God intent!¡±


    The half-step Void God Realm from the Six Ring Palace felt the aura start to enter his mental energy, and his expression changed drastically.


    Right as he was thinking about whether to retreat or attack:


    Whoosh!


    A blade suddenly pierced through the body of the figure of Death.


    Si!


    The figure of Death shook slightly, and it glanced at the blade releasing an aura of Destruction with shock and disbelief.


    Void Space Eye Slash! Zhao Feng¡¯s strongest eye-bloodline technique was used at the critical moment, and it successfully injured the enemy.


    Shu!


    Black smoke came from the figure of Death¡¯s chest. That was where the aura of Destruction was located. Even though the figure had a body of Death, it was still troublesome.

 601 Death Shadow Body

    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    While the two intents were clashing with each other, a short blade appeared out of thin air and pierced through the figure of Death¡¯s body, and an aura of Destruction spread across his chest.


    Both friend and foe alike were stunned.


    ¡°Could that brat have been¡­?¡±


    At this moment, the black-skinned Elder understood the truth. On one hand, he was in awe of Zhao Feng¡¯s terrifying eye-bloodline, and on the other hand, he felt humiliated that he was used by Zhao Feng.


    _Hmph!_


    A cold, mocking smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Both the black-skinned Elder and the figure of Death were people who had surpassed the limit of what he could fight.


    Things already exceeded his expectations that even the half-step Void God Realm attacked.


    ¡°The subordinates of the Emperor of Death are already so terrifying even when they aren¡¯t at the Void God Realm yet¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye locked on to the figure of Death.


    Shu!


    Wisps of black smoke appeared from the figure of Death¡¯s chest as the aura of Destruction spread across his body. At the same time, the blade started to fade and disappear.


    ¡°Looks like the target of this Pursuit of Death isn¡¯t simple indeed¡­.¡±


    The figure of Death groaned. The Void Space Eye Slash hit his heart and released its aura of Destruction there. Under normal circumstances, anyone under the Void God Realm would have died already.


    Weng~~


    The figure of Death¡¯s body started to blink, and it seemed to duplicate.


    As the body blinked, the injury also seemed to heal.


    Near the other side of the fighting:


    ¡°Death Shadow Body? According to the records, the thirty-six guards of the Emperor of Death have that unique attribute.¡±


    The expression of the black-skinned Elder started to change. He finally realized how strong of a background this figure of Death had.


    If it really was the Death Shadow Body, then it wouldn¡¯t be weird for the Elder to have lost. In fact, it would be a miracle that he was even able to survive. If it wasn¡¯t for Zhao Feng and the half-step Void God Realm, he would have died several times already.


    _Death Guard? Representing the intent of Death and has an almost immortal body, with speed that surpasses anyone at the Origin Core Realm¡­._


    Thoughts started to spin through Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s calculations came to a shocking result; even if ten or a dozen Great Origin Core Realms teamed up, they would find it hard to defeat a Death Guard.


    Even his Void Space Eye Slash that pierced through the Death Guard¡¯s vital organ didn¡¯t seem to severely damage him.


    ¡°Hmm? The aura of Destruction?¡±


    The figure of Death was about to attack again when his body froze.


    Sii!


    He put one of his hands on his chest that was starting to heal, and pain appeared on his face.


    _What¡¯s going on?_


    The black-skinned Elder sweated coldly as he was able to avoid another potential death.


    ¡°It¡¯s¡­ the power of Destruction. Even the immortal attribute¡¯s recovery power is restricted.¡±


    The heart of the half-step Void God Realm jumped.


    The power of Death and the power of Destruction had both appeared on this small island at the same time.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. My purple lightning¡¯s aura of Destruction can stop his recovery speed.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved.


    He already knew about the aura of Destruction when he first started to cultivate the purple lightning.


    Now that the Ancient Dream Realm aura had merged into his Purple Destruction Lightning, the aura of Destruction was even closer to its origin than when the Wind Lightning Emperor was alive.


    Therefore, the damage to the figure of Death¡¯s Death Shadow Body was even bigger than imagined.


    The immortal attribute¡¯s specialty was its recovery speed, but when that recovery was restricted, the damage would eventually start to pile up.


    ¡°Whatever¡­. Even though I can only use 60-70% of my battle-power, these little troubles are nothing.¡±


    The figure of Death snickered.


    Shua! Shua!


    The figure of Death flashed through the air and radiated a cold intent of death.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The heart of the black-skinned Elder shook. He was unable to see how the Death Guard moved, but the cold intent of death instantly passed through his soul.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    The Void God intent pressured the soul-dimension and froze the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby.


    However, this time:


    ¡°Hmph, I have the Emperor of Death¡¯s intent protecting me. Only someone actually at the Void God Realm can threaten me.¡±


    The figure of Death was unmoved as he took the intent of the half-step Void God Realm head-on.


    ¡°He can still move so easily under my intent.¡±


    The half-step Void God Realm was unable to stop the figure of Death.


    In the area, only Zhao Feng and the half-step Void God Realm were able to see how the figure of Death moved and attacked.


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw two figures of Death. One of them was heading toward him while the other went toward the black-skinned Elder.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The black-skinned Elder screamed as one of the figures of Death passed through his body.


    Whoosh!


    A cold glint of light ripped the black-skinned Elder¡¯s body to shreds.


    ¡°No! Sixth Junior Martial Brother¡­!¡±


    The half-step Void God Realm screamed in sadness.


    _The overseer of the death squads died just like that¡­?_


    Li Yunya on the ship took in a cold breath.


    He came from the Six Ring Palace, and the black-skinned Elder was a nightmare there. Everyone was scared of him.


    Shu~~~~~


    At the same time, the other figure of Death approached the ship.


    ¡°Watch out!¡±


    Li Yunya and the skeletal Division Leader exclaimed.


    The one that killed the black-skinned Elder was just the Death Guard¡¯s doppelganger; his true body was approaching the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    A terrifying coldness of Death enveloped the ship.


    Li Yunya and the skeletal Division Leader, who were both at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, were frozen and unable to move. They weren¡¯t even able think of fighting back.


    ¡°Eye of Ice Soul!¡±


    Zhao Feng used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to barely lock on to the figure of Death, but his speed was too fast, and he had the protection of the intent of Death. The effect of his Eye of Ice Soul dramatically decreased.


    ¡°Hehe, target of the Pursuit of Death, do you really think I didn¡¯t know that person was your enemy?¡±


    A blurry figure appeared on the ship.


    Hearing that, waves raged in the hearts of Zhao Feng, Li Yunya, and the skeletal Division Leader.


    The figure of Death came from the direction of the limitless ocean, but it wasn¡¯t hard for him to see that Zhao Feng was enemies with the black-skinned Elder.


    He even knew that the black-skinned Elder would¡¯ve won.


    _If this Death Guard knew the black-skinned Elder was my enemy, then why did he still kill him?_


    Zhao Feng felt puzzled.


    ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll clear out all the third parties first.¡±


    The figure of Death laughed coldly. After saying that, he slowly extended his hand, which was wrapped in black smoke, and formed a palm that radiated a cold intent of Death that descended from the sky and pressured Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    The hearts of Zhao Feng and company shook as they seemed to fight against an icy mountain.


    Wah!


    Li Yunya spat out a mouthful of blood as he half-kneeled on the ground and fainted.


    The skeletal Division Leader was barely able to withstand it. Its bones were extremely strong, but the pressure on its soul made it tremble.


    Li Yunya and the skeletal Division Leader were both injured, and that was just from the shockwave.


    The true target was Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye became as deep as the ocean and water seemed to start spinning within.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye released an ancient aura that scared gods and demons alike. His blue hair blew wildly, and his left eye seemed to have the power to control everything in the world.


    ¡°Hmm? I can¡¯t suppress his soul?¡±


    The figure of Death was shocked. One had to know that his palm contained a faint intent of Death that even those at the Great Origin Core Realm couldn¡¯t block.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely resilient toward soul attacks, so Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t he attacking like how he did against the black-skinned Elder? If he did, then I wouldn¡¯t be able to block it even with my God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. Although the Death Guard released an intent of Death, there was no killing intent.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    Shua!


    A faint ripple extended where the figure of Death was at, and a whirlpool started to appear.


    Shua!


    A thin blade pierced through the figure of Death¡¯s chest.


    ¡°Great!¡±


    The hearts of everyone on the ship leapt. If two Void Space Eye Slashes were able to land on the same vital point, it would cause critical damage even if the figure of Death had an almost immortal body.


    ¡°Hehe, how could the same technique work twice?¡±


    A laugh came from the side.


    Shua!


    The figure that had been pierced started to fade; it was just an afterimage.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader screamed. The source of the voice came from right beside him. More precisely, from right behind Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, the mission was accomplished so easily.¡±


    A hand covered in black smoke was about to clasp onto Zhao Feng¡¯s neck.


    The coldness of Death froze Zhao Feng¡¯s half-step True Yuan and bloodline power.


    Before he had even finished the Void Space Eye Slash, the Death Guard had already moved.


    Zhao Feng had no time to evade, and he was restricted by the Death Guard¡¯s terrifying power.


    At the critical moment:


    Ding!


    A transparent dagger flashed and collided with the figure of Death¡¯s hand, creating a sound of two metal objects hitting each other.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡±


    The figure of Death froze.


    Whoosh!


    Two fingers that were about to touch Zhao Feng were sliced off.


    Miao miao!


    A gray-silver streak flashed, and a little thieving cat slightly bigger than a palm landed onto the figure of Death¡¯s shoulder. Its eyes were sharp and full of power.

 602 Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger

    On the other side of the limitless ocean, there was a unique metallic black ship with a few figures onboard.


    The warm youth and the white-eyed little girl sat side by side. Behind them were two tall figures ¨C two Death Guards.


    ¡°The four Death Spirit Lords and thirty-six Death Guards are spread across the ten nearby island zones. Each Token of Death can sense throughout a large radius, but the chances of finding one person are still very small¡­.¡±


    The warm youth sighed.


    _Hmm?_


    The warm youth suddenly sensed something, and the two Death Guards behind him both lightly hmmed as well.


    Shua!


    Apart from the white-eyed little girl, a Token of Death appeared in everyone¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Third Prince, the thirty-third Death Guard has met the target.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s extremely far away from our current position. According to the aura, he¡¯s probably about two island zones away.¡±


    The two Death Guards said respectfully.


    ¡°Haha¡­. Our luck is great! The thirty-third guard has already found the target.¡±


    The warm youth laughed.


    Ten island zones was an extremely large area to search, and they only had a measly couple dozen people searching. It was like trying to find a single grain of sand in the ocean, yet they actually found the target so soon.


    One had to admit that the thirty-third¡¯s luck was extremely good.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The white-eyed little girl started to draw.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The warm youth turned around and watched.


    The picture wasn¡¯t done yet, but one could see a figure holding a short blade.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s the thirty-third guard.¡±


    The voices of the two other Death Guards were filled with excitement.


    A small gray-silver cat holding a mysterious dagger then appeared in the drawing.


    ¡°Lalala, I want this cat.¡±


    The little girl said joyfully, but the gazes of the warm youth and the two Death Guards were locked on to something else.


    ¡°That cat¡¯s weapon¡­!¡±


    One of the Death Guards exclaimed.


    At the same moment, back near the two-star battlefield:


    Ding!


    The little thieving cat saved Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    At the same time, it cut off two of the Death Guard¡¯s fingers.


    ¡°My Death Shadow Body is hidden between the physical and void dimensions. How can this be¡­?¡±


    The figure of Death asked in disbelief.


    He suddenly saw a little thieving cat sitting on his shoulder from the corner of his eye.


    _A cat?_


    Both friend and foe alike, including the half-step Void God Realm currently charging over, were stunned.


    _A cat¡­? How is this possible?_


    The figure of Death couldn¡¯t accept it. Even normal Great Origin Core Realms couldn¡¯t injure his Death Shadow Body. The Death Shadow Body contained the intent of the Emperor of Death, and it was between the boundaries of life and death.


    The body was extremely resilient toward every type of attack, and it could reduce any damage by at least 80-90%, yet two fingers of such a powerful body had been chopped off by a cat.


    ¡°That dagger¡­? Wait!¡±


    The figure of Death¡¯s gaze landed on the little thieving cat¡¯s mysterious dagger.


    The mysterious dagger glowed with an unfathomable aura. Cold, raspy murmurs seemed to emanate from it.


    ¡°Could that be the supreme item of the Dao of Shadow Assassination ¨C the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger?¡±


    The heartrate of the Death Guard sped up.


    _Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger!_


    The figure of Death¡¯s eyes were filled with awe, greed, and wariness.


    However, before he could react:


    Pa!


    A cat paw slapped his face.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    The figure of Death screamed as he felt a searing pain on his face. Even though he had an almost-immortal body, he became dazed.


    Shua!


    The figure then turned blurry and disappeared.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, good job.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the cold intent of Death disappear. At such a critical moment, only the little thieving cat could help.


    ¡°Looks like the Death Guard wanted to capture me alive.¡±


    Zhao Feng was calm.


    Killing and capturing were two entirely different concepts.


    If the Death Guard wanted to kill Zhao Feng, it would have been even easier than killing the black-skinned elder. After all, the difference in strength between them simply massive, so it seemed like the Death Guard¡¯s mission was to capture him.


    ¡°No wonder he killed the black-skinned elder even though he knew we were enemies; the black-skinned elder could have threatened my life.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that clearly and let out a breath.


    The difficulty for the Death Guard to capture him would be much greater than killing him.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care about your identity, you just killed my Sixth Junior Martial Brother. Die~~~~!¡±


    A cold voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell sounded as a powerful half-step Void God intent stabbed toward the figure of Death.


    At this moment, the half-step Void God Realm expert had arrived, and he immediately attacked the figure of Death.


    The half-step Void God Realm had the appearance of a scholarly youth, but his eyes were red with hatred and coldness as they locked on to the Death Guard.


    ¡°Half-step Void God intent? The biggest difference between a half-step Void God Realm and a Great Origin Core Realm is the difference in their soul. A half-step Void God intent can suppress anyone at the Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    The figure of Death snickered coldly. He wasn¡¯t scared.


    Shua! Shua!


    The Death Guard turned into a streak of afterimages.


    Even the half-step Void God Realm wasn¡¯t as fast as the Death Guard.


    ¡°Avalanche God Technique ¨C Anger of the Mountains and Rivers!¡±


    The scholarly youth stood tall and spread his arms as a ball of light radiating a powerful aura started to form.


    Boom!


    The air started to tremble, and a gray current started to flow across an area of ten or twenty miles.


    The gray current caused the mountains and rivers to shake and the sun and moon to lose their color. All of this came from the half-step Void God Realm.


    ¡°The strength of a half-step Void God Realm is terrifying.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt unable to breathe, and he barely managed to summon the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to block the shockwaves.


    Li Yunya had already been moved inside the ship or else his body would have turned to mangled flesh and bones by now.


    ¡°You go in as well.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and put the skeletal Division Leader inside the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    The half-step Void God Realm¡¯s attack was too powerful, and anyone below the Great Origin Core Realm would be finding death if they got too close.


    Bo~~


    A layer of water appeared around Zhao Feng¡¯s body, which further decreased the power of the shockwaves.


    He was barely able to stand despite his strong Water bloodline and near-peak Great Origin Core Realm state of existence.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The figure of Death¡¯s body finally met some resistance, but he relied on his almost-immortal body to continue closing in on the half-step Void God Realm as black smoke appeared from his body.


    ¡°Death God¡¯s Dancing Blade!¡±


    The short blade in the Death Guard¡¯s hand started to twirl.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Arcs of beautiful blade-light clashed with the half-step Void God Realm.


    ¡°Saint Emperor¡¯s Pen!¡±


    The scholarly youth snickered coldly as a mysterious Earth-Grade weapon appeared in his hand. He gently waved it, and beams of sharp light shot out. Each of these beams were able to crush a mountain.


    ¡°False Saint Emperor¡¯s Pen? The true Saint Emperor¡¯s Pen comes from the legendary Dynasty of the Saint Emperor, and it¡¯s already reached the peak Earth-Grade¡­.¡±


    The expression of the Death Guard changed slightly.


    Boom!


    The heavens and earth were filled with explosions and shockwaves that caused dust and dirt to cover everything.


    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first.¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and confirmed a route, then used the array as cover as he ran toward the ocean.


    ¡°No matter who wins, we won¡¯t be able to escape.¡±


    Zhao Feng took in a deep breath. He wasn¡¯t able to enter a battle of such a level with his current strength.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on his shoulder and played with the mysterious dagger.


    ¡°That dagger is the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger? Even the Death Guard¡¯s fingers were cut off.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt surprised. The little thieving cat¡¯s actual strength was unable to threaten the Death Guard. The only reason it could provide any help to Zhao Feng earlier was because of this Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger.


    Back then, the little thieving cat had done everything in order to obtain this dagger, which caused even the Purple Saint Partial Spirit to panic.


    Whoosh~~~


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship soon left the inland region and headed toward the limitless ocean.


    As soon as the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship had moved away from the battlefield:


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng felt another two Void God Realm auras fighting as he left the two-star battlefield, but in their eyes, Zhao Feng and company were just ants.


    ¡°The aura of Death¡­ could it be related to that legendary Emperor of Death?¡±


    The two Void God Realm Kings felt the Death Guard¡¯s existence.


    Shua!


    One of the two magnificent powers scanned over the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship hundreds of miles away.


    ¡°What a terrifying aura¡­.¡±


    Everyone within the ship felt unable to breathe. It was just like facing the limitless ocean whale king in the depths of the ocean.


    Luckily, the sensation only lasted a moment.


    ¡°Quickly leave this two-star warzone.¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his Water bloodline and True Yuan within his body, merging them into the array of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship. As the ship had the elements of water and lightning, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline and True Yuan could momentarily make its speed rise dramatically.


    Shu~~~~


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship got further and further away from the two-star warzone.


    Four hours later:


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye started to twitch in warning as the aura of Death closed in.


    ¡°Target of the Pursuit of Death, where exactly are you running to? If it weren¡¯t for the fact that I wanted to capture you alive, I wouldn¡¯t have needed to undergo so much trouble by entering a two-star battlefield.¡±


    A tall, ruffled figure chased from behind.


    The Pursuit of Death was approaching once more.


    ¡°You guys go into the depths of the ocean.¡±


    Zhao Feng climbed onto the deck of the ship and ordered.


    ¡°Captain, you¡­¡±


    Loulan Zhishui and company were full of worry as they let the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship sink into the limitless ocean.


    Above the limitless ocean, a lonely blue-haired youth with calm and twinkling eyes remained, ¡°The only way to survive is to defeat this Death Guard¡­.¡±


    The Death Guard¡¯s speed was even faster than normal half-step Void God Realms. No one here could escape with their own measly speeds.

 603 Battling the Death Guard

    Over the limitless ocean, Zhao Feng was floating in the air as his hair blew in the wind. His left eye was as deep and calm as the ocean.


    Far away:


    Whoosh!


    The aura of Death kept coming closer, and the feeling of danger kept increasing.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat was sitting on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulders, and its pair of eyes glinted with a mysterious light.


    ¡°Immortal body. Representative of the intent of Death. Speed and offense faster and stronger than anyone below the Void God Realm¡­. How can I defeat him?¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he started to think.


    The Death Guard seemed to be unparalleled against everyone below the Void God Realm in every aspect. Putting aside Zhao Feng, even some peak Origin Core Realms wouldn¡¯t be able to block a single blow.


    ¡°However, it¡¯s not impossible to win.¡±


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat exchanged glances.


    A normal Sovereign ¨C and even Sovereign Lords ¨C might not have a chance against the Death Guard at all because they had no methods that could actually threaten him.


    However, Zhao Feng was different.


    ¡°My strongest Void Space Eye Slash and the little thieving cat¡¯s Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger can both threaten the Death Guard.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    Right at this moment, the figure of Death was now within a hundred miles of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Eye of Ice Soul.¡±


    A cold, invisible intent shot through the figure of Death¡¯s consciousness, and his speed and agility instantly decreased.


    ¡°Hmm? The Death Guard seems to be injured after fighting with the half-step Void God Realm. His intent of Death has been greatly weakened.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye analyzed.


    The weakening of the Death Guard made Zhao Feng overjoyed. The tiny chance of victory had increased.


    ¡°Hmph. Target of Death, even if I can only use 40-50% of my full strength, capturing you is as easy as flipping my hand.¡±


    The Death Guard¡¯s slightly ruffled figure sped toward Zhao Feng with a crushing pressure, and a playfully cold smile appeared on his face as he saw what Zhao Feng was planning to do.


    Shua!


    The Death Guard¡¯s figure suddenly became blurry, and his speed increased as he charged toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°You¡¯re indeed worthy of being the target of a Pursuit of Death¡­ to actually be able to lock on to me with your eye-bloodline even though you only have the cultivation of a measly half-step Origin Core Realm.¡±


    The Death Guard remained locked on to by the Eye of Ice Soul.


    Near the two-star battlefield earlier, only Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and the half-step Void God Ream could see how the Death Guard moved.


    ¡°Set up the array!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader appeared and waved the black flag, helping to set up the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°The Death Guard is more specialized in assassination and close combat. Restrict the range of the array to focus on him.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered.


    Weng~~


    Thick smoke came from the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and it was compressed to an area of two hundred yards. In such a small range, the power of the curse was extremely dense. Even someone at the Great Origin Core Realm would be in danger if they entered it now.


    Shua!


    Black smoke emanated from the surface of the Death Guard¡¯s body as he entered the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. Countless invisible and bloody white hands continuously reached into his body.


    ¡°I¡¯ll finish off that skeleton, then capture the brat.¡±


    The Death Guard¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    He could easily block the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array if he was at his peak strength, but right now, he was injured; not only did he just finish fighting a half-step Void God Realm, his heart had been slashed by the Void Space Eye Slash, and the aura of Destruction was still there. He had no time to recover.


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was a profound array, and any damage to it would be evenly spread out across the entire array.


    He specialized in close combat and single target attacks, not ranged secret techniques. However, the array would be broken if he could kill the one in control of the array.


    ¡°Good, the Death Guard is injured, so the power of the curse is twice as effective.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye soon saw what the Death Guard was planning to do.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, watch out!¡±


    Zhao Feng quickly warned the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s figure rose as it merged with the power of the Nine Deadly Yin Bone and transformed into a flaming bone giant. Under the flaming bone giant state, the skeletal Division Leader was extremely strong, and its every action and movement released flames of Death and Yin.


    The skeletal Division Leader was confident in its defensive capabilities. In its current state, it could even take a couple hits from a Great Origin Core Realm head-on.


    ¡°How embarrassing.¡±


    The Death Guard turned into several cold lights, several of which swept toward the skeletal Division Leader.


    Boom!


    The flaming bone giant was enveloped by the lights, and sounds of bones cracking appeared.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader screamed as its powerful bony body was cut apart. Even the array flag was turned into powder.


    Hu~


    The smoke of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array started to fade; the array had been broken.


    Zhao Feng cursed in his heart. In just one move, the skeletal Division Leader was cut into pieces and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was broken. Furthermore, it wasn¡¯t even done by the Death Guard¡¯s true body.


    At the same time:


    Whoosh!


    The Death Guard turned into a cold streak of light and charged toward Zhao Feng.


    The Death Guard had used a doppelganger to finish off the skeletal Division Leader and get rid of the array. His true body was very likely trying to capture Zhao Feng, and the entire process would be done in just one move if he succeeded.


    _Terrifying._


    Zhao Feng felt as if he had entered the abyss of Death. He realized that he had underestimated the difference between them. Even though the Death Guard only had 40-50% of his battle-power left, he was still stronger than normal Great Origin Core Realms.


    ¡°You better give up.¡±


    The Death Guard¡¯s figure appeared in front of Zhao Feng once more and stretched out his hand, which was surrounded in black smoke.


    In reality, if the Death Guard wanted to kill Zhao Feng, the latter would probably already be dead. However, his goal was to capture Zhao Feng alive, and the latter knew that.


    At this moment in time, a cold intent of Death enveloped Zhao Feng¡¯s heart, and thin wisps of black air started to wrap around Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    As Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat were about to be bound by the wisps of black air:


    _My body¡­_


    Zhao Feng forcefully circulated his strength and struggled against the black air.


    _Hmm?_


    The Death Guard was slightly surprised. He didn¡¯t think that a measly half-step Origin Core Realm could still struggle in such a situation. Even some Great Origin Core Realms would be unable to do that, but Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence was close to the peak Great Origin Core Realm, so he couldn¡¯t be measured by normal standards.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    The hand that was surrounded by black smoke grabbed toward Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder. At the same time, he was on guard against the little thieving cat as wisps of black smoke bound the little thieving cat as well.


    And it was at that moment that the unexpected happened:


    Weng~


    The Death Guard¡¯s hand seemed to touch water.


    ¡°Water Spirit Divine Change!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body rippled as it turned into a dark blue liquid.


    ¡°Liquid state?¡±


    The Death Guard was slightly dazed as his hand entered the body of the Water Spirit Giant.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s defense was almost unparalleled in this state, and his recovery speed reached a terrifying level. However, even then, Zhao Feng groaned as he was injured by the erosion and coldness of the air of Death.


    From that, one could see that even an unparalleled body had a limit. Luckily, his state of existence was strong, so the Water Spirit Giant¡¯s healing speed was monstrous.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s not simple indeed.¡±


    The Death Guard murmured as he reacted. He was about to take back his hand.


    ¡°From Water to Ice!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could clearly catch sight of any detail.


    Weng~~


    In that instant, the Death Guard¡¯s hand was caught in ice.


    ¡°You want to freeze my hand?¡±


    The Death Guard¡¯s pupils contracted as he laughed coldly. The different in strength between the two was too big ¨C so what if Zhao Feng could momentarily freeze his hand?


    Ding!


    A transparent and mysterious dagger sliced his momentarily-frozen hand.


    ¡°How did it escape from my True Lines of Death¡­!?¡±


    The Death Guard¡¯s expression changed dramatically. On his shoulder sat a little thieving cat that was smiling.


    Crack!


    The Death Guard¡¯s hand fell.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The Death Guard screamed as he retreated, and killing intent filled his eyes, ¡°Fucking cat, I¡¯m going to rip you into ten thousand pieces.¡±


    Cold beams of light radiated from his body, which swept across half a mile.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat flashed and disappeared.


    Bo~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s liquefied body managed to defend against the beams of light, and his body soon started to recover.


    The ocean regained its calm after a while, but the Death Guard¡¯s anger still hadn¡¯t been quelled. He spread his Spiritual Sense and tried to find the little thieving cat.


    A Death Guard actually had his hand cut off by a cat. It was quite humiliating.


    _This is the perfect chance._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped as he locked on to the Death Guard and unleashed an attack with his left eye.


    __


    _Void Space Eye Slash!_


    Shua!


    A thin blade radiating an aura of Destruction slashed through the Death Guard¡¯s body.


    Whoosh!


    The figure was instantly destroyed.


    _How unfortunate._


    Zhao Feng sighed. Even when the Death Guard was affected by his emotions, the Void Space Eye Slash hadn¡¯t hit the target.


    Shua!


    The Death Guard reappeared but moaned. Black smoke was emanating from his shoulder; there was a tiny hole, and the aura of Destruction was running rampant inside.


    This time, the Void Space Eye Slash didn¡¯t hit his vital organs, so the damage was limited, but that only made the Death Guard even angrier.


    Being a Death Guard, he was the nightmare of countless people. When had he been humiliated so much, and by a measly half-step Origin Core Realm and a cat at that?.


    ¡°I can only use the Void Space Eye Slash one more time¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng gathered his remaining eye-bloodline power.


    Victory or defeat was going to be decided in the next moment.


    Miao miao!


    A gray-silver streak suddenly flashed through the air.


    Shua!


    A thin, transparent dagger slashed toward the Death Guard.


    ¡°Such speed. It¡¯s indeed worthy of being the little thieving cat.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    The little thieving cat was probably the only one that could attempt to ambush the Death Guard.


    ¡°Haha¡­. You¡¯re courting death. The Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger will be mine.¡±


    The Death Guard was filled with overwhelming joy.


    Whoosh!


    A wave of dark blade-lights hurtled toward the little thieving cat, enveloping everything within a hundred yards.


    ¡°Victory or defeat will be decided here.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was circulated to the maximum, and it gave off an ancient and scary aura.


    As the little thieving cat was about to be hit by the killing move:


    ¡°Spatial Movement!¡±


    A whirlpool appeared and sucked in the little thieving cat.

 604 Eye of Destiny

    In the limitless ocean, an hour before Zhao Feng and the Death Guard fought.


    ¡°Hehehe, the third drawing¡¯s about to be done.¡±


    The white-eyed little girl looked at the little thieving cat in the picture.


    ¡°Let me see.¡±


    The warm youth came over, and the other two Death Guards curiously looked over as well. However, their expressions changed dramatically when they saw the drawing.


    ¡°What!?¡±


    ¡°How is that possible¡­!?¡±


    The warm youth and the two Death Guards exclaimed.


    In the drawing, the little thieving cat¡¯s eyes was filled with cunningness, and its opponent was in a disastrous state. A mysterious dagger had been stabbed through the Death Guard¡¯s heart, and the little thieving cat¡¯s dagger sparkled with an aura of Destruction as it pierced through the Death Guard¡¯s body.


    ¡°Did you draw it correctly?¡±


    ¡°Even though the thirty-third Death Guard is one of the weaker ones, he won¡¯t be killed in a single move by a cat.¡±


    The two Death Guards felt that it was unrealistic but, thinking about how it was just a drawing by a mischievous little girl, they understood and smiled.


    ¡°Junior Martial Sister Bai Lin, you¡¯re playing with us, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    The warm youth smiled meekly.


    ¡°Bai Lin isn¡¯t lying to anyone¡­ sniff... I really like that cat.¡±


    The white-eyed little girl started to cry, and the warm youth quickly started to comfort her. However, at the same time, the little girl¡¯s drawing made the youth become uneasy.


    ¡°The Shadow Kill Imperial Blade is a supreme item of the Dao of Assassination, and it can ignore all defenses. It even counters the Death Shadow Body.¡±


    The warm youth suddenly remembered something.


    ¡°Third Prince, we would sense something if the thirty-third guard died.¡±


    One of the Death Guards laughed, and hearing that, the warm youth let out a breath.


    Right at this moment, the white-eyed little girl smiled, ¡°Hahaha, dummy, this happens an hour later.¡±


    _An hour later?_


    The two Death Guards couldn¡¯t help but smile when they heard that.


    ¡°Hmph! Master said that I was the inheritor of the bloodline of the Eye of Destiny.¡±


    The white-eyed little girl said angrily.


    _Eye of Destiny?_


    Everyone present, including the warm youth, were stunned.


    On the other side of the limitless ocean:


    ¡°Haha¡­. You¡¯re courting death. The Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger shall be mine.¡±


    The Death Guard laughed as black beams of blade-light devoured the little thieving cat.


    ¡°Spatial Movement!¡±


    A wisp of eye-bloodline power was activated, and a whirlpool suddenly appeared and sucked in the little thieving cat.


    At the same moment:


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The wave of black blade beams sliced everything into nothingness.


    _I¡¯d like to see how you¡¯re going to evade this time. My attack does damage through the air within a hundred yards._


    The Death Guard laughed coldly in his heart, but his expression changed the next instant. There was a familiar spatial disturbance near the little thieving cat¡¯s location.


    ¡°Rescued? No! Dammit~~~~!¡±


    The expression of the Death Guard changed dramatically.


    Bo~~


    A wisp of eye-bloodline power could be felt as a whirlpool suddenly appeared right on top of him.


    Whoosh!


    A dark, transparent dagger passed through his heart.


    Wu~


    The Death Guard froze as fear and panic appeared on his face.


    Shu~~~~


    The dagger that passed through his body was the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger, and it had wisps of a Destruction aura on its surface.


    His Death Shadow Body didn¡¯t have much defense against the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger to begin with, but even more terrifying was that the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger had pierced through his heart. The attack stabbed through the same location as the first Void Space Eye Slash, and the injury from that aura of Destruction still hadn¡¯t healed yet.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat leapt through the Death Guard¡¯s body after creating a hole in his heart.


    ¡°You¡­!¡±


    The Death Guard¡¯s body started to blink between his real and fake bodies. His eyes were full of hatred as he stared at the little thieving cat that just jumped through him.


    ¡°Wave¡­ Wave of Death!¡±


    He managed to radiate a wave of Death across several hundred yards.


    Shua!


    A streak of gray and silver passed through the air as the little thieving cat disappeared.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s voice appeared from Zhao Feng¡¯s ancient metal ring the next instant.


    Bo~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Water Spirit Giant form began to ripple.


    ¡°What a terrifying power of Death¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng was still injured despite his current state.


    Luckily, his state of existence and body were extremely strong, and he was currently in a liquid state, all of which meant that his recovery speed was monstrous.


    Plop!


    The Death Guard¡¯s body fell from the sky.


    _Dead._


    Zhao Feng saw that there were no signs of life from the Death Guard with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as his liquefied body started to condense.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, good job.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt like he had a new lease on life.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on his shoulder and laughed before making a face at the body of the Death Guard.


    The little thieving cat played a huge part in killing the Death Guard. If it weren¡¯t for the little thieving cat, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t have been able to turn the tide.


    ¡°The Void Space Eye Slash and the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger are both things that can threaten the Death Guard. The little thieving cat was teleported inside the Death Guard¡¯s body, and an aura of Destruction was added to the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger. What a perfect combination.¡±


    Excitement appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. Because the little thieving cat was only slightly bigger than a palm, it could be transported through space.


    Spatial Movement was a spatial ability, and if the target was a living being, the target couldn¡¯t resist at all or else the difficulty would become countless times harder.


    Choosing to move the little thieving cat was a killing move they decided on beforehand.


    ¡°We can¡¯t stay here for long.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was pale-white and tired.


    The feeling of danger had faded by more than half, but it was still there. He understood that the Death Guard was just a little subordinate of the Emperor of Death.


    The Pursuit of Death would continue until the mission was accomplished.


    Weng~


    An intent of Death appeared on the corpse, and it was even purer than before.


    Wisps of Death enveloped the Death Guard¡¯s body, and the injuries started to recover.


    Although there were no signs of life returning to the corpse, the injuries were starting to heal.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw a unique Token of Death that was mostly similar to the one on Grandmaster Yin Kong, and the intent of Death had grasped the Death Guard¡¯s soul.


    ¡°Dammit, the Death Shadow Body is immortal. There¡¯s a possibility of revival as long as the soul isn¡¯t destroyed.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became solemn.


    Luckily, the Death Guard¡¯s body had been destroyed, so he shouldn¡¯t be able to revive very quickly.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to go close to the Death Guard. He was the subordinate of the unfathomable Emperor of Death, and he had a Token of Death protecting him.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to touch anything on the Death Guard¡¯s body anyway.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and put away the hundred cursed ghost-corpses.


    ¡°Master¡­ save me¡­.¡±


    Amongst the smoke, two flames twitched within the eye sockets of a skeleton that had been chopped up.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body was similar to a ghost-corpse, so it wouldn¡¯t easily die as long as the soul wasn¡¯t destroyed.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and put the skeletal Division Leader into the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl. Anything related to ghost-corpses would became stronger and recover faster in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    ¡°Unfortunately, the array flag has been broken, and the skeletal Division Leader has been severely injured. The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array won¡¯t be able to be used for a while.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt troubled. Although they won, the price they paid to do it was huge.


    Whoosh!


    The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship surfaced from the ocean, and Zhao Feng jumped onto it.


    Under the control of Loulan Zhishui and company, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship entered the limitless ocean.


    At the same time:


    Whoosh!


    The body of the Death Guard turned into a black streak of light that flew through the air with the help of the Token of Death.


    ¡°The Token of Death is indeed not simple.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    The Token of Death contained the Emperor of Death¡¯s intent of Death, and it can even cause the Eye of Death to descend, but Zhao Feng was surprised that the Emperor of Death¡¯s power didn¡¯t descend.


    For some reason, it seemed that the Emperor of Death was unable to personally participate and had to send subordinates in his stead.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know that the Emperor of Death had used the Bridge of Death, a super wide-ranged skill, to locate him, thus needing to sleep for several years in order to recover.


    On the other side of the limitless ocean:


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    The warm youth and the two Death Guards both sensed something.


    Weng~


    The Tokens of Death in their hands trembled and sent them a piece of information.


    ¡°The thirty-third guard has died.¡±


    The heart of the warm youth shook. According to the reports, the target¡¯s cultivation hadn¡¯t even reached the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Although the thirty-third Death Guard is one of the weaker guards, his strength is still enough to defeat anyone at the Origin Core Realm. Even normal Great Origin Core Realms are like babies to him.¡±


    One of the Death Guards murmured.


    _How could the thirty-third guard have died?_


    The three were in disbelief, but this was reality. The drawing by the white-eyed little girl an hour ago had been proved.


    ¡°But the thirty-third guard¡¯s soul hasn¡¯t been destroyed, so it can still be recovered. We¡¯ll know what happened soon.¡±


    The eyes of the youth flashed.


    As long as the thirty-third guard woke up, they¡¯d have more information on the target, giving them a higher rate of success next time.


    ¡°Furthermore, we still have this helper here¡­.¡±


    The warm youth¡¯s gaze landed on the white-eyed little girl, and he felt much more confident.

 605 Aim

    Inside the captain¡¯s cabin in the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, Zhao Feng¡¯s face was pale, and he didn¡¯t immediately seal his eye-bloodline.


    Some unknown and mysterious power seemed to be gazing at Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t say for sure what it was, but he knew it was there.


    ¡°What kind of power is this? It¡¯s not from the physical or the soul dimensions and there¡¯s no damage at all, yet it surpasses every type of power.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s senses became stronger, and the feeling was familiar, yet strange. He felt something like this before when facing the Eye of Death.


    ¡°Could it be¡­ one of the Eight Great God Eye¡¯s descendants?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. The only descendant of the Eight Great God Eyes he had interacted with before was the Emperor of Death. Although Grandmaster Yin Kong had an eye-bloodline with spatial abilities, he wasn¡¯t a true descendant of the Eye of Space, he was only somewhat related to it.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power and sealed off his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, but the mysterious force gazing upon him didn¡¯t disappear, it only weakened.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and waved its paws.


    The two understood each other well. By now, they knew what the other meant with just one glance.


    ¡°You¡¯re saying that it¡¯s related to our Dao?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved.


    He suddenly remembered Liu Qinxin¡¯s master, an inheritor of the Dao of Life. Her master even made Liu Qinxin change her original name in order to change her destiny.


    If it weren¡¯t for that, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t have met Liu Qinxin.


    Although Zhao Feng ended up enraging the City Lord, the latter managed to break through to the True Lord Rank. Unfortunately, Liu Qinxin never returned from the inheritance.


    ¡°Fate is extremely profound.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t block this power, but he knew that the stronger he became, the more control he had over his fate.


    As his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and eye-bloodline became stronger, so did his control of the world.


    _¡°The Ancient is broken, and the Ancient Gods slain will turn into a trillion pieces of dust¡­_


    __


    _¡°To continue my eye-bloodline, gain absolute power, rule the world, and control the heavens.¡±_


    An ancient voice resounded throughout his mind.


    _Rule the world and control the heavens._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was suddenly filled with confidence and willpower.


    Shua!


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye opened once more, and the lake within his left eye¡¯s dimension started to ripple as it released an aura belonging to the ancient era.


    The aura started to radiate from Zhao Feng, and it spread throughout a great distance.


    At the same time, on the other side of the limitless ocean:


    Wah!


    The white-eyed little girl suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as her small body started to sway.


    ¡°Bai Lin, what happened?¡±


    The warm youth¡¯s expression changed slightly as he grabbed onto her.


    The white-eyed little girl¡¯s eyes were filled with shock.


    ¡°My eyes hurt. I need to rest for a while, but I¡¯ve found the line of destiny.¡±


    The white-eyed little girl said weakly.


    _Line of destiny?_


    The eyes of the warm youth lit up.


    ¡°Spiritual Sacred Lands.¡±


    The white-eyed little girl said before falling asleep.


    In the limitless ocean:


    Whoosh!


    A layer of water and lightning glowed across the surface of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship as it flew through the air.


    Two months had passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone within the ship had already recovered.


    Apart from Loulan Zhishui and the eight sailors, there was now a new member ¨C Li Yunya.


    After escaping death, Li Yunya decided to join the crew.


    ¡°I was falsely accused by other disciples in my clan and have nowhere to stay in the Five Mountain Islands Zone. To repay Captain, I have decided to stay on the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.¡±


    Li Yunya¡¯s promise seemed to be from just a moment ago.


    He was more experienced than Loulan Zhishui and company. Li Yunya joining allowed the ship to be used to its fullest potential, and he could even fix any damage to the ship. Therefore, Zhao Feng made Li Yunya a vice-captain half a month ago.


    ¡°Li Yunya, how much do you know about the Emperor of Death?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    Li Yunya was silent for a moment before answering, ¡°Throughout the entire Cang Ocean and three Spiritual Sacred Lands, Void God Realm Kings stand at the peak since those with the title of Emperor are so rare and unfathomable. Amongst them, the Emperor of Death has the Eye of Death, so he is one of the stronger ones even amongst Emperors¡­.¡±


    The Void God Realm was split into two levels ¨C King and Emperor ¨C but Li Yunya didn¡¯t know the exact differences between them.


    ¡°The Emperor of Death also has four Death Spirit Lords and thirty-six Death Guards under him. The four Death Spirit Lords are all Void God Realm Kings.¡±


    Li Yunya said, and Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became solemn after hearing it.


    The Death Guard he just met was only one of the thirty-six Death Guards under the Emperor of Death? Furthermore, the only reason the Death Guard lost was because he was trying to capture Zhao Feng alive; it would have been several times easier to just kill Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Luckily, I didn¡¯t meet one of the four Death Spirit Lords.¡±


    Zhao Feng sweated coldly. If he had met a Void God Realm instead, there would¡¯ve been no hope at all.


    ¡°Apparently, the thirty-six Death Guards are ranked. For example, from the first Death Guard to the second Death Guard¡­ till the thirty-sixth Death Guard.¡±


    Li Yunya continued.


    _They¡¯re ranked?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pupils contracted, and his expression kept changing. What rank was the one they fought?


    ¡°It¡¯s certain that the one that Captain defeated wasn¡¯t one of the higher ranked ones because the higher ranked ones have a cultivation at the half-step Void God Realm, and they¡¯re even able to threaten Void God Realm Kings.¡±


    Li Yunya said in a matter-of-fact tone.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng felt even more pressured.


    ¡°The Pursuit of Death is far too terrifying.¡±


    No wonder no one had been able to escape from the Pursuit of Death. Even if they could escape from the Death Guards, there were still the Death Spirit Lords.


    A small number of targets were at the Void God Realm and could escape even from the four Death Spirit Lords, but at the very end was the Emperor of Death himself.


    The Eye of Death had a high level of control over the laws of Death. No one across the Cang Ocean had higher understanding than him.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin:


    ¡°The Pursuit of Death¡­. I won¡¯t give up.¡±


    Zhao Feng gritted his teeth.


    He was like a lost dog being chased around. He had never experienced such humiliation ever since he started to cultivate.


    ¡°Not only will I escape, I will become stronger and repay this humiliation several times over.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes became full of battle-intent.


    The pressure from the Pursuit of Death was squeezing out his potential.


    Within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl:


    ¡°Master, my injuries have healed. I will create a new array flag and perfect the cursed ghost-corpses.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice sounded.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. On this journey, the skeletal Division Leader and Li Yunya had become his left and right arms.


    Zhao Feng would give them a part of his resources.


    For example, Li Yunya received two barrels of heart blood essence, and his state of existence wasn¡¯t far off the peak Small Origin Core Realm. He used to be a one-in-thousand-years genius of the Six Ring Palace two-star sect, and Zhao Feng had his eyes set on his potential.


    _There¡¯s still 20-30 barrels of heart blood essence left, and the effect is extremely weak for me now._


    Zhao Feng thought as he soaked in heart blood essence.


    The effect of the heart blood essence was much weaker than before. He had only used two barrels over the last two months.


    The aura from the Ancient Dream Realm and the heart blood essence had allowed Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence to rise to the peak Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Even the effect of the Ancient Dream Realm aura has become weaker.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed.


    He tried every method that could increase his strength, and he realized that the closer his state of existence got to the limit between the Origin Core Realm and the Void God Realm, the bigger the resistance.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and entered the mysterious whirlpool within his eye¡¯s lake.


    The Ancient Dream Realm. Zhao Feng once again appeared on this continent.


    His body and soul were instantly pressured by an overwhelming power.


    Everything in his heart was pure.


    ¡°Absorb.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to absorb the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm. As he entered the place more and more, he became more familiar and efficient in absorbing the aura.


    Now his body and Source of True Spirit had both absorbed quite a bit of the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    His state of existence had reached the limit of humans. If he didn¡¯t conceal it, his every breath and action seemed to release an aura like an ancient beast.


    ¡°I can kill beasts at the half-step Origin Core Realm with just my body alone.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the large power and potential within his bloodline and body.


    Within his dantian, Zhao Feng¡¯s sticky Source of True Spirit had been replaced by a faint purple half-step True Yuan.


    The half-step True Yuan was formed from the intent of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning. The aura of Destruction coming from it was terrifying.


    ¡°I¡¯m just a bit away from having enough of a foundation to try to break through to the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng found that he could control his body and cultivate within the Ancient Dream Realm, and the effects were countless times better than the outside world.


    What made him sigh was that the time he could stay here was so limited.


    A couple dozen breaths later, blood started to leak out from Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°Fifty-two breaths.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. He was slowly approaching his target time.


    _Use this time well._


    Zhao Feng quickly absorbed the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm into his body.


    ¡°My bloodline and body aren¡¯t becoming stronger as fast as before. Why not let the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm merge into the eye?¡±


    A thought appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.

 606 Getting Ready to Breakthrough

    In the past, the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm was mostly absorbed by Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline, but now Zhao Feng had an idea to absorb the aura into his eye.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye interacted directly with his soul.


    Wisps of the Ancient Dream Realm aura started to flow into his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Weng~~


    A ripple appeared on the surface of the lake as it quickly absorbed the aura.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s entire heart suddenly shook.


    His soul, which was connected to the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, seemed to have also successfully absorbed part of the Ancient Dream Realm aura. The sensation was just like a thirsty plant absorbing water, and it felt extremely satisfying.


    ¡°Great, the Ancient Dream Realm aura seems to also help the soul.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    His bloodline and body had absorbed a lot of the Ancient Dream Realm aura and the effect was weakening, but it was different with his eye and soul.


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had tried absorbing the aura into his eye, and the effect was extremely obvious.


    An hour later, he fully absorbed the remaining Ancient Dream Realm aura within his body into his eye.


    Inspecting it closely, he saw that the power within the eye¡¯s lake was more pure, and Zhao Feng felt as if his soul had become stronger and his foundation was now more solid.


    ¡°The aura from the Ancient Dream Realm seems to help the soul quite a bit, and it can even help the soul condense.¡±


    Zhao Feng compared before and after.


    Over the next month, Zhao Feng put over half of the Ancient Dream Realm aura into the eye, and he found that his soul became more dense and thick.


    In the past, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul became much stronger with the help of the Wood Spirit Essence Soul, but it wasn¡¯t condensed.


    It was similar to a fat person; there might be a lot of meat on their bones, but they wouldn¡¯t be able to beat a muscular man.


    Now that Zhao Feng was absorbing the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm to strengthen his soul, it had become more condensed.


    ¡°Absorbing the aura will allow my soul to continue strengthening. What kind of changes will this bring to the future?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt an instinct to strengthen his soul.


    In the short-term, it could only heighten his senses and strengthen his foundation, but instinct told him that it would bring him unimaginable benefits in the future.


    However, all of that came later and wasn¡¯t important right now.


    Currently, Zhao Feng only felt that his soul was gaining benefits from absorbing the Ancient Dream Realm aura, so he simply tried to absorb as much as he could.


    Two months later, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul had increased by leaps and bounds.


    The first few months had the best effect; his soul had surpassed the Small Origin Core Realm and was now comparable to the Great Origin Core Realm. It was extremely condensed.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng felt as if his soul had a certain indescribable feeling to it. One thing was for sure though, his soul was thicker and more condensed than before, and its aura was closer to the Origin.


    The biggest difference was that Zhao Feng¡¯s sensitivity toward Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and his comprehension of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning were much better than before.


    Time flew by on the journey. In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.


    The journey over the last half a year had been extremely smooth.


    The two vice-captains, Loulan Zhishui and Li Yunya, each worked on internal and external tasks respectively.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat occasionally jumped onto the deck and threw a couple old coins into the air before pointing out a new direction.


    Li Yunya and Loulan Zhishui didn¡¯t dare to go against the divination of the little thieving cat.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng found that, every time the little thieving cat changed directions, the sense of danger in his soul would weaken a little bit.


    ¡°The little thieving cat seems to have mysterious abilities to avoid danger and find fortune.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought.


    An hour later, he made an announcement, ¡°Gather at the discussion hall.¡±


    Within the discussion hall, Zhao Feng, Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and the skeletal Division Leader all appeared.


    These types of discussions were extremely rare, and everyone else looked toward Zhao Feng.


    Being the captain, his every decision could affect the fate of everyone present.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s aura has become unfathomable. I can¡¯t even see through him now.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader inspected its master.


    If it could be said that the skeletal Division Leader still knew Zhao Feng¡¯s attributes half a year ago, it couldn¡¯t now. Just the casual aura radiating from Zhao Feng pressured both Li Yunya and the skeletal Division Leader.


    This pressure didn¡¯t just come from his state of existence; it also originated from his soul.


    ¡°This young captain¡¯s state of existence and soul have both surpassed mine.¡±


    Li Yunya took a deep breath.


    One had to know that his cultivation was almost at the peak Small Origin Core Realm, and he surpassed the skeletal Division Leader in terms of cultivation.


    ¡°Master, you seem to have met every requirement to try to breakthrough to the Origin Core Realm!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader exclaimed.


    _Breakthrough to the Origin Core Realm?_


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s heart shook. This young captain was only twenty-something years old and had already met every requirement to breakthrough.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. That¡¯s one of the reasons why I summoned all of you here today.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and didn¡¯t disagree.


    His state of existence was closing in on the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm, and his soul power was comparable to the Great Origin Core Realm as well since it was now much more condensed than before.


    In terms of comprehension, he had understood 40-50% of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning.


    His strength had risen dramatically in comparison to his strength back at the two-star battlefield.


    At this moment, he had reached the limit of the half-step Origin Core Realm. Another half a step further and he would become a true Sovereign.


    ¡°I need to find a safe environment to breakthrough to the Origin Core Realm. There¡¯s also another issue as well.¡±


    Zhao Feng quickly got straight to the point.


    The environment within the limitless ocean wasn¡¯t very stable, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was extremely thin. It was hardly the best choice to breakthrough.


    If something sudden happened when he was trying to breakthrough, it would be horrible.


    ¡°A special and safe environment? There¡¯s only the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.¡±


    Li Yunya replied. The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace was a quiet place and a high-tier supply station.


    Even two-star sects didn¡¯t dare to offend the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    ¡°Good, good¡­. Over the last half a year, the strength of the cursed ghost-corpses have been approaching the half-step Origin Core Realm, and my cultivation has also met a bottleneck, so we all need some rare resources.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader was swayed.


    Loulan Zhishui nodded in approval, ¡°The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace is the safest supply point, and the sailors also need to buy some stuff. The Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship also needs a few materials to strengthen and repair it.¡±


    The suggestion was agreed on by everyone and they were all excited. After all, it was extremely boring to do nothing but travel on the ship.


    ¡°Captain, what¡¯s the other important issue?¡±


    Li Yunya asked curiously.


    Breaking through to the Origin Core Realm was only one of his reasons to go to the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    ¡°It¡¯s about the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array.¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke in a solemn tone.


    _Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array?_


    Li Yunya understood after thinking about it.


    The journey to the True Martial Sacred Land was extremely lengthy


    ¡°We will need 5 or 6 years to reach the True Martial Sacred Land at our current speed. This is far too long.¡±


    Zhao Feng continued.


    ¡°Five or six years? That¡¯s not that long.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader wasn¡¯t bothered, but Zhao Feng was only twenty-two years old. It was a long time for him. On the other hand, the skeletal Division Leader had lived for several hundred years.


    ¡°There¡¯s a teleportation array at every Void Ocean Spiritual Palace that can send people from one Void Ocean Spiritual Palace to another. It can also send people to the True Martial Sacred Land, but it¡¯s extremely difficult for those who aren¡¯t members of Sacred Lands to use it.¡±


    Li Yunya knew a bit about this, and Zhao Feng knew the difficulty involved.


    At the Thousand Flowing Islands Zone, he asked the two geniuses from the Sacred Lands for help, but Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin weren¡¯t willing to help him.


    ¡°Li Yunya, you come from a two-and-a-half-star sect. Is there no way at all?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t believe there was no possibility at all. There were definitely a ton of people who wanted to go to the True Martial Sacred Land.


    ¡°In the Five Mountain Islands Zone, if a Void God Realm expert asks, the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace Lord might agree.¡±


    Li Yunya answered.


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. Coming from a two-and-a-half-star sect, Li Yunya was indeed knowledgeable.


    ¡°But we¡¯ve entered a new island zone. Is there any other way?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes landed on Li Yunya with expectation.


    Their journey-time would be decreased greatly if they could use the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array.


    At the same time, it would also reduce the threat from the Pursuit of Death.


    ¡°Captain, leave this to me. I¡¯ll figure something out when we arrive at the next Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.¡±


    Li Yunya¡¯s eyes twinkled. He agreed to it.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Li Yunya was a capable person. Maybe he really could find a breakthrough point.


    Half a month later, the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship entered the center of a new island zone ¨C the Eternally Sealed Islands Zone.


    ¡°Captain, we¡¯re almost at the closest Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui said.


    A few hours later, a ball of blue light appeared in sight, clearing away the mist of the limitless ocean.


    The surface of some halls and palaces could be seen inside the blue ball of light.


    Whoosh!


    The ship quickly passed through the barrier and arrived in front of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace was an institution spread across everywhere. Every island zone had one, and they were mainly the same.


    Zhao Feng put away the ship, and the crew held their Void Ocean Tokens as they entered the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    The Void Ocean Token could be used at any Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    They first went to find a hotel after they entered. Li Yunya, the skeletal Division Leader, Loulan Zhishui, and the rest of the sailors then went off on their own.


    Amongst them, Li Yunya was responsible for finding out about the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array.


    The skeletal Division Leader was finding things for the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and some resources for its own bottleneck.


    Loulan Zhishui was responsible for finding the materials needed for the ship, and Captain Zhao Feng was making the last preparations to breakthrough.

 607 Change of the Origin Core

    After arriving at the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, Zhao Feng first organized his resources, which included items that were Wind and Lightning related, Primal Crystal Stones, and other rare resources.


    He then started to flip through some books.


    As long as one had enough Primal Crystal Stones, one could buy news, information, and knowledge.


    In reality, Zhao Feng was extremely confident in breaking through to the Origin Core Realm. After repetitively absorbing the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm and using the heart blood essence, his state of existence had increased by leaps and bounds, approaching the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    The state of existence of most actual Great Origin Core Realms wasn¡¯t as strong as Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Furthermore, he already started to interact with and comprehend the intent of other Origin Core Realms a long time ago. Lu Tianyi, the skeletal Division Leader, the Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion, the random Great Origin Core Realms he had met, and even the intent from the half-step Void God Realm.


    Zhao Feng already met this requirement when he was at the True Lord Rank. His intent and comprehension even surpassed normal Small Origin Core Realms, which was due to how strong his soul was, as well as the learning capabilities of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°According to the books, the chance of breaking through to the Origin Core Realm is extremely low. Many half-step Origin Core Realms need several tries, and even then, they might not make it.¡±


    Zhao Feng found that the difficulty was a bit harder than what he had imagined.


    Breaking through to the Origin Core Realm could be described with four words:


    ¡°Yuan Qi Core Formation.¡±


    As the name suggested, it was to condense one¡¯s Yuan Qi and essence into a Yuan Core, which could also be called the Core Center.


    The Yuan Core Center was split into two tiers: one was the normal Yuan Core of a Small Origin Core Realm, and the other was the Crystal Core of a Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°The True Spirit Realm to the Small Origin Core Realm and the Small Origin Core Realm to the Great Origin Core Realm are two fundamental changes in power. No wonder the difference between the Small Origin Core Realm and Great Origin Core Realm is so huge.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood more about the Origin Core Realm.


    Right now, what he needed to do was Yuan Qi Core Formation.


    He had actually already completed half of this process. Within his dantian, there was an extremely pure half-step True Yuan.


    Zhao Feng had purposely slowed down his conversion speed when he broke through to the half-step Origin Core Realm and merged the intent of Purple Destruction into it.


    In terms of power and understanding, Zhao Feng¡¯s half-step True Yuan was even more profound than some true Sovereigns. Therefore, Zhao Feng¡¯s half-step True Yuan was of extremely high quality, and it contained the laws of Wind and Lightning.


    The Ancient Dream Realm aura also played a part in this, and the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning was closer to its Origin. Its aura of Destruction surpassed the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s when he was at this level.


    In reality, Zhao Feng¡¯s half-step True Yuan was already stronger than the True Yuan of some Small Origin Core Realms.


    Of course, power was power, but that didn¡¯t mean that the two were necessarily on the same level.


    Half a day later:


    ¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±


    Zhao Feng had read through all the theories and was now officially going to try to breakthrough.


    Within his dantian, the source of power was fully purple and sticky. It was all half-step True Yuan.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng sat down and circulated the energy across his entire body as he squeezed out all his potential.


    Surges of purple liquid started to gather at his dantian.


    Zhao Feng was frightened by his actions. He didn¡¯t realize that his body had so much potential, which was because his state of existence had been strengthened so greatly from the Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    Di! Da!


    The purple-colored liquid was as thick as congee, and it started to compress after absorbing the essence from across the body.


    Yuan Qi Core Formation. This was a slow and difficult process which required one¡¯s full attention.


    Day after day passed by.


    Ten days later, the purple-colored source within his dantian had signs of ¡°drying.¡±


    ¡°So fast?¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised. According to the books, this process usually took two months, and if it couldn¡¯t condense into a Core Center, the power would injure the body instead.


    After all, it was a big leap from a Source of True Spirit to a Core Center. Any small mistake could mean failure.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s was four or five times faster than usual.


    ¡°Looks like it¡¯s certain that I will be able to break through. Now I just need to see how strong my foundation can be after breaking through.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    In the past, when he broke through to the True Lord Rank, his foundation had already been extremely strong, so he jumped straight to the early-stage True Lord Rank, skipping past the beginning stage.


    It was the same now; Zhao Feng¡¯s foundation had already easily surpassed the beginning stages of the Small Origin Core Realm.


    Another four or five days later, the center of Zhao Feng¡¯s Source of True Spirit had almost completely dried and consolidated.


    However, the part that was dried only took up one-tenth of the total area.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s source of power had been refined to the limit.


    ¡°The center of the Source of True Spirit has technically dried. If it continues at this rate, it will all dry within ten days.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that it was going far too smoothly.


    Even more surprisingly, there was a faint amount of True Yuan coming from the dried area. This was the true, complete True Yuan and not the half-step True Yuan.


    Di! Da!


    Not only had the center of the Source of True Spirit dried, wisps of pure True Yuan were starting to leak out. These wisps of True Yuan were a crystalline purple, and they had mysterious carvings on them that contained Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension of Wind and Lightning.


    Furthermore, these carvings radiated a strong surge of Destruction.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already started to form True Yuan? That usually happens the moment one is about to breakthrough.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly dumbfounded. Everything was going too fast. It greatly surpassed what he had read in the books.


    ¡°This speed is too fast.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt slightly uneasy.


    _That¡¯s right!_


    A thought suddenly appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind, ¡°I can slow down the speed of my half-step True Yuan being compressed and merge in some of the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm.¡±


    Slowing down the speed of compressing his Yuan Qi meant decreasing the power of his breakthrough. Normal cultivators wouldn¡¯t dare do this because the entire process was usually done in one attempt. The slightest mistake could mean that the drying source would be affected.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to worry about that problem. He didn¡¯t even need to focus on condensing his half-step True Yuan.


    At this point, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t stop his momentum, and it was impossible for him to not break through even if he wanted to.


    If normal cultivators who failed to break through were to know about this, they would probably vomit blood.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness entered the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Due to the fact that he was in the middle of breaking through, Zhao Feng only wanted to stay here for a couple breaths and absorb a little bit.


    However, the moment he entered the Ancient Dream Realm, an overwhelming pressure crushed over him.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s half-step True Yuan that was converting and drying suddenly stopped.


    This sudden change made Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jump, but luckily, the rate of conversion was only decreased by a lot; it didn¡¯t start to liquidize.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng suddenly realized that the already-dried Source of True Spirit formed a connection with the Ancient Dream Realm.


    When breaking through to the Origin Core Realm, one needed enough power and intent from the outside world. Therefore, a powerful intent was a vital requirement.


    ¡°I almost forgot that the Ancient Dream Realm and reality are separate dimensions.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t imagine what would happen if he broke through here.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng suddenly felt the Heaven Earth Aura from the Ancient Dream Realm surge into his core.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. Even though the Heaven Earth Aura was extremely thin, and the rate of absorption was not even one one-thousandth of the outside world, a great pressure still bore down on him. It felt as if he had been struck by lightning.


    One had to know that the Heaven Earth Aura wasn¡¯t just the normal Ancient Dream Realm aura. It was very likely to be the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi of this dimension.


    One breath¡­ two breaths¡­ three breaths.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence couldn¡¯t bear such pressure and the lightning-struck sensation.


    Three breaths later:


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood as his consciousness returned to reality.


    The injury he received was very light, it was mainly just the shaking of his senses and blood.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Zhao Feng instinctively checked his source of power and found that the dried area had been shattered by the Heaven Earth Aura from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    His heart rate started to speed up, and his eyebrows furrowed.


    Now that the center had been shattered, the amount of half-step True Yuan he had was decreased by ten percent.


    His entire dantian was ruffled. It was as if it had been attacked.


    Zhao Feng had an urge to cry. It was like being pushed back to the moment he had broken through to the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    The amount of power within his body suddenly decreased by 10%.


    This was the source of power!


    He couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly regretful. He shouldn¡¯t have entered the Ancient Dream Realm when he was breaking through.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and forcefully calmed down before inspecting his dantian again.


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed drastically as he inspected it closely.


    Although the amount of power within his body had decreased by 10%, the quality had risen to a new level.


    The energy and essence contained within the remaining half-step True Yuan was about the same as normal True Yuan.


    Weng~~


    A wisp of purple appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s palm. It wasn¡¯t the normal faint purple; it was pure purple.


    The wisp of purple was extremely profound, and the carvings on it gave off an ancient and destructive aura.


    ¡°How is this possible?¡±


    Zhao Feng was dazed.


    This casual wisp of Purple Destruction Wind Lightning he had formed was comparable to the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning at 80-90% comprehension.


    One had to know that he had only comprehended 40-50% of it so far.


    Furthermore, the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning contained the Heaven Earth Aura from the Ancient Dream Realm, which would have unknown characteristics to it.

 608 Sovereign

    Although the dried source of power had crumbled and the amount of power he could hold was reduced to 90%, the half-step True Yuan in his body had undergone an incredible change.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Purple Destruction Wind Lightning had reached 80-90% mastery, and the aura of Destruction contained within was several times stronger.


    ¡°Although it¡¯s still half-step True Yuan, its aura isn¡¯t much different from True Yuan.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the wisp of Purple Destruction from his palm, and the difference wasn¡¯t limited to just that.


    This also concerned a change in the origin of his power.


    ¡°Breaking through to the Origin Core Realm in the Ancient Dream Realm means that I probably absorbed some of the power of the Wind and Lightning from that place.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. He had a weird feeling; although the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning came from the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance, his source of Wind and Lightning had undergone an unknown change.


    Even the Wind Lightning Emperor probably wouldn¡¯t know what type of path Zhao Feng would walk on the road of Wind Lightning.


    Maybe this was what was meant by rising higher after a fall.


    Zhao Feng found that, although the quantity had dropped by 10%, everything else had been changed drastically.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start again.¡±


    Zhao Feng sat down and circulated his energy.


    The accident earlier made his originally smooth process fail, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel defeated at all; instead, he simply started the process of breaking through again.


    Di! Da!


    The purple-colored source within his dantian and its terrifying aura started to gather.


    It could only gather; Zhao Feng had no ability to compress it.


    After the change, the half-step True Yuan¡¯s quality had become extremely high, and its power was several times stronger than the True Yuan of a normal Origin Core Realm.


    Half a day later, the purple source started to dry.


    So fast!


    Zhao Feng jumped up in fright.


    After the change, the quality of the source had become too strong. It surpassed the original Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance¡¯s expectations.


    Zhao Feng was suspicious that his source of power had already reached the True Yuan level. If he just let it cool for a while, it would automatically dry right away.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng¡¯s source started to compress into a Core Center the size of a bean.


    The Core Center was a dark, glittery purple.


    ¡°I¡¯ve successfully formed a Core Center?¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly dumbfounded. The entire process of forming his Core Center was completed in one step.


    Boom!


    The instant the Core Center formed, Zhao Feng¡¯s energy and essence started to travel throughout his body.


    At the same time, purple clouds started to gather and form above Zhao Feng¡¯s room, and terrifying lightning enveloped everything within one mile.


    The auras of Wind and Lightning formed a terrifying pressure, and everyone in the hotel trembled uneasily.


    ¡°What powerful Wind and Lightning. There¡¯s also an aura of Destruction.¡±


    ¡°It looks like someone broke through to the Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Sighs, exclamations, and admirations came from the hotel.


    The radius of this Sovereign¡¯s intent wasn¡¯t big ¨C it was actually even smaller than most ¨C but the pressure was almost comparable to a Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°The aura of this Sovereign is unusual.¡±


    There were other Sovereigns in the hotel, and they also had the experience of breaking through, but the aura from this Core Center made even them feel uneasy.


    Within the room:


    ¡°Origin Core Realm? Did I break through successfully? But¡­ the Core Center I condensed is much smaller than normal Sovereigns.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    Indeed, the Core Center he condensed was smaller by about half compared to a normal Core Center in the books.


    This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was only at the early stages of the Small Origin Core Realm, but from the aura and strength he could feel, it should be stronger than middle-stage Small Origin Core Realms.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s source of power had merged with the intent and comprehension of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning, which had reached a 80-90% mastery.


    Therefore, the aura from Zhao Feng was blurry. It seemed to be an early-stage Small Origin Core Realm and a middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm at the same time.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be able to break through to the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm as long as my Core Center becomes bigger. The late-stage Small Origin Core Realm isn¡¯t very far away from me either.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath and slowly concealed his aura. After ¡°rising higher after the fall,¡± his source of power had become extremely pure. Even though Zhao Feng had broken through quickly, none of his True Yuan had been released. This meant that, when he concealed his true aura, it would seem like he was only at the early stages of the Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Congratulations on breaking through to the Origin Core Realm, Master.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations on the breakthrough, Captain!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader, Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and company had already arrived and were waiting outside the room.


    Sovereigns were already supreme figures in some normal islands, and they were considered experts in the limitless ocean that would be met with respect.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and walked outside the room.


    Many Spiritual Senses scanned over, and the expressions of the owners all changed. It was obvious that none of them expected the new Sovereign to be so young.


    The skeletal Division Leader, Li Yunya, and Loulan Zhishui all had complex expressions and different emotions.


    Amongst them, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s emotions were heavy, and it felt helpless. Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was catching up to its own. Even when Zhao Feng was at the half-step Origin Core Realm, he was already stronger than it. Now it couldn¡¯t see through Zhao Feng at all.


    Li Yunya and Loulan Zhishui were stunned at Zhao Feng¡¯s potential and talent.


    Both of them were among the top in terms of talent.


    Loulan Zhishui was the greatest prodigy in the Eight Desolate Mountains, and she had a status similar to Yu Tianhao¡¯s in the Azure Flower Continent.


    Li Yunya was a once-in-a-thousand-years genius from the two-and-a-half-star sect, the Six Ring Palace.


    ¡°To be able to break through to the Origin Core Realm at such a young age¡­ probably only those from the Spiritual Sacred Lands can be compared to him.¡±


    Li Yunya felt that he wasn¡¯t as good as Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng looked around and watched everyone¡¯s emotions. He had felt too many similar gazes on his path of cultivation, but a Sovereign was a supreme expert in the Azure Flower Continent; even Zhao Feng felt proud.


    However, when he thought about the Pursuit of Death, Zhao Feng¡¯s pride instantly disappeared.


    A while later, Zhao Feng heard some reports from everyone in the room.


    ¡°The array flag for the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was completed half a year ago, and the strength of the cursed ghost-corpses is approaching the half-step Origin Core Realm. A small number have even reached the half-step Origin Core Realm already¡­.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader spoke first.


    After spending a large amount of resources, the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had been improved to an entirely new level.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    When the hundred ghost-corpses all reached the half-step Origin Core Realm and devoured the blood and essence of a hundred Sovereigns, there would be a new breakthrough.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had another thought, which was to merge the Ancient Dream Realm aura into the cursed ghost-corpses, but that was just a thought for now. No actions would be done yet.


    ¡°Captain, the ship has been repaired and strengthened. The sailors are all cultivating within the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui said.


    The skeletal Division Leader and Loulan Zhishui both finished their reports.


    Everyone¡¯s gaze finally landed on Li Yunya, and even Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but expectant.


    Everyone¡¯s tasks had been smooth, and Li Yunya had an important task.


    News of the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array was placed on the same priority as breaking through to the Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Captain, this Void Ocean Spiritual Palace is in the territory of the Eternally Sealed island zone and, according to the news I got from the Ten Thousand News Building, this Void Ocean Spiritual Palace also has a Spiritual Zone Teleportation array that is connected to a couple dozen Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces in the surround island zones¡­¡±


    Li Yunya smiled and said.


    The Ten Thousand News Building was a place in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace where news was sold.


    As long as one had enough Primal Crystal Stones, there wasn¡¯t much news the Ten Thousand News Building couldn¡¯t tell you.


    ¡°As expected¡­ there¡¯s a Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.¡±


    Zhao Feng continued to look at Li Yunya.


    A Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array could normally span a distance of at least an entire island zone. Even some two-star sects didn¡¯t that ability.


    The extremely big Spiritual Zone Teleportation Arrays could even teleport between Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    ¡°It¡¯s the same as the other Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces. The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace in the Eternally Sealed Islands Zone is controlled by the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace Lord, and one usually needs the approval of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace Lord to use it.¡±


    Li Yunya paused.


    Eternally Sealed Void Ocean Spiritual Palace Lord.


    Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces were scattered across the limitless ocean, and almost every island zone had one.


    The ruler of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace in the Eternally Sealed Islands Zone was the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.


    ¡°Is there any way to make the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord let us use it?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    He knew that the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Arrays were usually reserved for only those from the Spiritual Sacred Lands, and they weren¡¯t open to the public.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, the only way is to somehow make the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord let us use it. Only he has the ability to let us do so.¡±


    Li Yunya said.


    Over the past few days, Li Yunya had asked around for the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s hobbies and attitude.


    ¡°The cultivation of the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord has reached the half-step Void God Realm, and being a Palace Lord, he is extremely rich. He¡¯s so rich that his wealth surpasses even some Void God Realms. Therefore, it¡¯s almost impossible to move him through treasures or weapons. His battle-power is almost at the Void God Realm, and not many people can threaten him¡­.¡±


    Li Yunya spoke in a solemn tone.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s strength, status, and wealth had all reached the maximum. Nothing seemed to be able to move him.


    ¡°Luckily, I found a breakthrough point. The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord has some hobbies.¡±


    Li Yunya then smiled.


    ¡°Hmm? Breakthrough point?¡±


    Zhao Feng was immediately interested. Li Yunya was indeed capable.


    ¡°But I¡¯d like to spar with Captain first.¡±


    Li Yunya¡¯s words took a twist.


    Spar with me?


    Zhao Feng paused, and even Loulan Zhishui and company were surprised.


    ¡°I need to understand Captain¡¯s strength in order to make a breakthrough with the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord. Of course, I have to admit that I¡¯m also personally interested in how strong Captain is after breaking through to the Origin Core Realm.¡±

 609 Captain Establishing His Dominance

    _Is Li Yunya¡­ challenging the captain?_


    The skeletal Division Leader, Loulan Zhishui, and company couldn¡¯t help but reveal interest.


    Although Zhao Feng was the captain of the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, he had never really sparred with any of the sailors. Adding on the fact that Zhao Feng had just broken through and gave off a shocking aura that was almost comparable to the Great Origin Core Realm, everyone was very curious.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Not only did Li Yunya¡¯s challenge concern the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord and the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array, Zhao Feng wanted to test out his new strength.


    The group moved to a martial arts field a while later.


    The hotels in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace were different from the ones in the mortal world.


    The hotels here were set up by the officials, and everyone that stayed in one was an expert from the outside world. The space within any one of the hotels was comparable to an entire castle, and the martial arts field within the hotel wasn¡¯t normal either.


    For example, the field here was several hundred yards wide, and it had protective arrays around it.


    ¡°Conceal the fight.¡±


    Li Yunya told a worker nearby.


    Shua!


    The worker smiled faintly and waved the array flag. The martial arts field was instantly covered by a black screen, which meant that those outside wouldn¡¯t be able to watch unless they had reached the Void God Realm.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but think about Li Yunya¡¯s purpose and how was it related to the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.


    Within the field, Zhao Feng and Li Yunya stood facing each other.


    There was only the skeletal Division Leader and Loulan Zhishui watching.


    _Captain was already extremely strong before he broke through. His eye-bloodline even slew a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord._


    Loulan Zhishui thought.


    In their perspectives, Li Yunya was definitely not Zhao Feng¡¯s match.


    ¡°Captain, please don¡¯t use your eye-bloodline when you fight this time.¡±


    Li Yunya asked.


    _Don¡¯t use his eye-bloodline?_


    Everyone paused slightly.


    ¡°This Li Yunya¡¯s pretty cunning.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui said, but when Li Yunya said that, his face didn¡¯t go red nor did his heart rate speed up.


    He knew that if Zhao Feng used his eye-bloodline, he would have no chance at all.


    ¡°Hehe, I won¡¯t use my eye-bloodline, but I have a suggestion.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    Li Yunya paused. Was the captain going to restrict him too?


    Right at this moment:


    ¡°Just one is not enough. Why don¡¯t the two of you fight me together?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze landed on the skeletal Division Leader.


    _Two at once?_


    Li Yunya and the skeletal Division Leader revealed stunned expressions.


    ¡°Fighting two at once without using his eye-bloodline power?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s eyes went wide.


    Before they entered the limitless ocean, Zhao Feng heavily relied on the skeletal Division Leader. Without using his eye-bloodline, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t as strong as the it.


    ¡°Zhe zhe. Master, you want to fight the two of us at the same time? Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re being overconfident?¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader walked confidently.


    Two late-stage Small Origin Core Realm auras instantly spread across the field. In addition, the skeletal Division Leader and Li Yunya were both stronger than normal late-stage Small Origin Core Realms.


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s bone-strengthening technique was extremely powerful even before it merged with the Nine Deadly Yin Bone. It was almost unparalleled against those below the Great Origin Core Realm.


    On the other hand, Li Yunya¡¯s cultivation was closing in on the peak Small Origin Core Realm.


    Being a once-in-a-thousand-years genius of the Six Ring Palace, his battle-power was also extremely great.


    ¡°Start.¡±


    Zhao Feng remained calm when facing the two.


    ¡°Heavenly Star Sword.¡±


    Li Yunya raised his hand, and an Earth-Grade sword with ancient carvings on it appeared in his hand.


    __


    _Seven Star Heaven Slaughtering Technique!_


    Li Yunya¡¯s Heavenly Star Sword shook, and brilliant rays of sword-light shot toward Zhao Feng like meteorites.


    ¡°What a profound sword technique! He¡¯s summoning the power of stars and merging it into his Sword Dao.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader exclaimed. He was indeed worthy of being a once-in-a-thousand-years genius of the Six Ring Palace.


    ¡°Deadly Bone Wall!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader pushed its hands forward, and hundreds upon thousands of bones radiating a deadly flame started to construct a wall around Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s surroundings were fully blocked by layers of flaming bone walls, which proceeded to close in and restrict Zhao Feng¡¯s mobility.


    ¡°Seven Star Heaven Slaughtering Technique!¡±


    At the same time, Li Yunya waved his sword and the sword-lights split as they crushed down toward Zhao Feng.


    The teamwork of the two Sovereigns was perfect.


    Li Yunya was responsible for attacking while the skeletal Division Leader used its self-invented technique to restrict Zhao Feng and form a defensive shield at the same time.


    Even those at the Great Origin Core Realm would be moved by such a combo.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth. He could have easily evaded the attacks with his speed.


    Weng~


    A layer of purple lightning radiating an ancient aura of Destruction appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm.


    _Purple Lightning Wind Ring!_


    Zhao Feng waved his palm, and the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning in his palm swept away everything in its path.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The flaming bone wall around him instantly shattered when it met the lightning, turning into black smoke.


    ¡°¡­my Deadly Bone Wall!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s expression changed dramatically. The Deadly Bone Wall was a secret technique it had created over the last half a year, and it was made to restrict opponents stronger than itself.


    However, in front of the Purple Lightning Wind Ring, everything was immediately destroyed. The technique it had used half a year to create was broken like paper.


    It was absolutely one-sided.


    Weng~~


    A few beams of purple lightning rings from the shockwave shot toward the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Deadly Bone Protection!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s gold-and-silver bones became dark as a layer of flames covered its body.


    Whoosh!


    Before the ring of Purple Destruction Lightning Wind even arrived, the flames around the skeletal Division Leader instantly started to fade, and black smoke started emitting from the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body as it howled.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The skeletal Division Leader was forced to retreat as it exclaimed in shock, ¡°My bone-strengthening technique¡­!¡±


    On the other side, Li Yunya¡¯s attack was instantly crushed by Zhao Feng¡¯s Purple Lightning Wind Ring before it even arrived. The Purple Lightning Wind Ring was different from the Ring of Lightning of old.


    This secret technique created a whirlpool that was independent.


    ¡°The Purple Lightning Wind Ring can be used for both offense and defense.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood unmoving as the power of the Purple Lightning Wind Ring swept across everything in its path. It was like a natural disaster that crushed everything blocking its way.


    Boom!


    Li Yunya was forced to retreat dozens of yards, and black smoke was emitting from his body. There were already scorch marks on his person.


    His defense wasn¡¯t as strong as the skeletal Division Leader, so he was obviously injured by the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning as well.


    ¡°Deadly Bone Strengthening!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader turned into a flaming bone giant, and its every movement and action contained limitless power as the flames of Death and Yin howled.


    In front of Zhao Feng¡¯s pressure, it used its secret technique without hesitation.


    Under its new state, it could manage to barely block the rings of purple lightning.


    On the other side, Li Yunya had been forced into a corner, and he was quite ruffled.


    ¡°This is Captain¡¯s strength? A simple move alone already forced two late-stage Small Origin Core Realms into such a situation.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s heart shook.


    Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t even truly attacked yet.


    ¡°Even if he¡¯s reached the Origin Core Realm, how can he be this terrifying?¡±


    The flaming bone giant that was the skeletal Division Leader started to smoke.


    The power contained within the Wind Lightning rings was several times purer than before Zhao Feng broke through, and the Destructive aura contained within was more purer and condensed than before as well.


    The skeletal Division Leader and Li Yunya were already forced into this situation without any hope of resisting at all.


    ¡°Hehe, it ends here.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled as the rings of Purple Destruction Wind Lightning disappeared.


    Shua!


    An afterimage was left behind as his figure flashed through the air like a ghost.


    The Spiritual Senses of the two Sovereigns couldn¡¯t sense Zhao Feng¡¯s movement.


    ¡°Blade of Purple Destruction.¡±


    A thin blade radiating pure Destruction appeared.


    Whoosh!


    The skeletal Division Leader screamed as one of its arms was cut off by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Master, please¡­!¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s soul almost fell apart. In such a powerful defensive state, it was still chopped up as easily as a radish¡­.


    Peng!


    The figure once again moved.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Li Yunya¡¯s expression changed dramatically as a ghostly figure appeared behind him.


    Before he could do anything, a simple punch that seemed to contain the power of a beast sent him flying and coughing out blood.


    ¡°What a terrifying body. He injured me with just his physical strength.¡±


    It was just too fast. The two Sovereigns couldn¡¯t do anything at all.


    Plop! Plop!


    Li Yunya and the skeletal Division Leader both fell to the ground.


    The difference was that Li Yunya had lost his balance against Zhao Feng¡¯s strength and fell to the ground, whereas the skeletal Division Leader was kneeling on the ground in fear.


    If Zhao Feng¡¯s Blade of Purple Destruction had hit its vitals just now, the skeletal Division Leader would have died. In that instant, it could even feel the killing intent coming from Zhao Feng.


    At this point, the two Sovereigns looked at each other with shock.


    ¡°Even without using his eye-bloodline, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength has surpassed mine. If my strength is too weak and I lose my value, he¡¯ll probably kill me.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart shook.


    It couldn¡¯t imagine how strong Zhao Feng had become.


    From now on, the skeletal Division Leader was truly Zhao Feng¡¯s slave, both in name and strength.


    ¡°Captain actually cut off one of the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s arms?¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    Her cultivation was only at the half-step Origin Core Realm, and she was miles away from the two Sovereigns.


    _Why did Captain do this?_


    Loulan Zhishui forced herself to calm down, and she soon understood, ¡°Captain wants to use this chance to establish his dominance, and Li Yunya is a new subordinate who might not fully obey him. On the other hand, he also wants to warn the skeletal Division Leader not to have any unnecessary thoughts.¡±

 610 Eternally Sealed Palace Lord

    Within the protective array of the martial arts field, the victor between the three Sovereigns was decided within an instant.


    Li Yunya suppressed the shock in his heart as he smiled bitterly.


    Before this, he was only wary of Zhao Feng because of the latter¡¯s eye-bloodline, but reality had proved that, even without using his eye-bloodline, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t someone that a Small Origin Core Realm could fight against.


    The combination of two late-stage Small Origin Core Realms was nothing in front of Zhao Feng, and the skeletal Division Leader even lost an arm despite being in its flaming bone giant state.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s strength has easily surpassed mine. Even without the Dark Heart Seed, I no longer have a chance against him.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes were full of fear. As the difference between the two got bigger, the skeletal Division Leader was scared that its value to Zhao Feng would become smaller and smaller and that it might be thrown away by Zhao Feng.


    The group then returned to their room a while later. The skeletal Division Leader entered the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl to recover.


    ¡°Li Yunya, how is our sparring related to the breakthrough with the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Captain, it¡¯s like this: according to what I know, the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord has a hobby, and that is to watch the fights in the arena. He will stay there for a long time and gamble.¡±


    Li Yunya explained.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng was surprised. A Void Ocean Spiritual Palace Lord had such a boring hobby?


    ¡°Captain, you might not be aware,¡± Li Yunya smiled and shook his head, ¡°but the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s eyes are extremely sharp, and he can easily find geniuses. He has found many capable people in the arenas who have now become his left and right arms. Back then, he even found an expert who has now become a Void God Realm King. Some of his stories are now legends.¡±


    ¡°So, you want me to enter the arena and catch the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s attention and get close to him.¡±


    Zhao Feng soon understood, and Li Yunya nodded his head, ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    He was confident in Zhao Feng after sparring with him.


    Li Yunya believed that a bright star like Zhao Feng would easily be able to enter the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s eyes.


    If he was able to get close to the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord, then there might be some hope for them to use the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Without hesitation, he led Li Yunya and walked toward the arena.


    The Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces were spread across the limitless ocean, and each one of them had their own arenas.


    When Zhao Feng entered, there were many shouts and screams from the spectating stands as several experts fought in the arenas.


    The weakest participants were at the peak True Lord Rank and half-step Origin Core Realm.


    The main fights were at the Small Origin Core Realm. After all, Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords were rare even in two-star sects, and they were part of the upper echelons.


    ¡°Ye Moyu! Ye Moyu! Ye Moyu¡­!¡±


    Excited shouts came from the stands.


    At the very center arena stood an elegant male with his hands behind his back.


    The elegant male was covered by a dark, mysterious glow that seemed to be able to suck in light, and he seemed unfathomable.


    ¡°This is way too crazy! Ye Moyu¡¯s already won 56 battles in the Eternally Sealed Arena.¡±


    ¡°In the past hundred years, rarely have any Small Origin Core Realms been able to win 50 in a row.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the background of this Ye Moyu? He¡¯s beaten the record of the past ten years already.¡±


    Discussion broke out in the arena.


    ¡°Ye Moyu, are you sure you want to continue? Every opponent is stronger than the last.¡±


    A judge at the Great Origin Core Realm said.


    ¡°Continue.¡±


    Ye Moyu snickered and murmured in a low tone, ¡°My goal is to complete one hundred wins in a row at the Small Origin Core Realm.¡±


    ¡°Your opponent is me.¡±


    A dominant and bright voice sounded as a muscular male appeared on the arena.


    Hua!


    The crowd broke out into exclamations, ¡°Fire Gold Power King!¡±


    ¡°The Fire Gold Power King has stopped the footsteps of many challengers before.¡±


    ¡°Apparently, this Fire Gold Power King was found by the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord and trained to work in the arenas.¡±


    Many people recognized his identity. It was obvious that this Fire King Power King was somewhat famous.


    ¡°Late-stage Small Origin Core Realm? Already such a strong opponent after 56 wins.¡±


    Li Yunya murmured and sighed.


    ¡°A hundred continuous wins?¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a questioning expression.


    ¡°Captain, this arena is set up by the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace officials, and they give a special reward for certain milestones. For example, winning 25 battles and winning 50 battles will both have their own rewards. If one can win one hundred in a row, they will receive a big prize along with utmost glory¡­.¡±


    Li Yunya explained.


    Zhao Feng understood the rules of Ye Moyu¡¯s ¡°hundred-win challenge.¡± Because there was a large final prize, the officials will try to stop the hundredth win.


    ¡°No one in the Eternally Sealed Islands Zone has completed the hundred-win challenge in the past hundred years.¡±


    Li Yunya added.


    _A hundred years?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s pupils constricted.


    How many elites were there in an entire island zone over the course of a hundred years? From this, one could see how difficult it was to win a hundred battles in a row.


    While the two were talking, the fight in the arena had already begun. The Fire Gold Power King was a Sovereign who cultivated in body-strengthening techniques. His physical power and defense might even be slightly stronger than the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Blazing Gold Scorching Sky!¡±


    The Fire Gold Power King roared, and he seemed to become a golden statue as his fists caused the arena to shake.


    Boom!


    Terrifying golden punches shot through the air and released flames like a volcanic eruption.


    ¡°Petty tricks.¡±


    Ye Moyu¡¯s surroundings became dark, and this darkness not only restricted the opponent¡¯s sight, it also limited their senses.


    Shua!


    A ghostly figure passed through the darkness and easily dodged the attacks.


    ¡°What a profound movement skill. Ye Moyu¡¯s figure can merge into the darkness and instantly appear anywhere else like teleportation.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Only Zhao Feng and those at the Great Origin Core Realm could see how Ye Moyu moved.


    ¡°Fuck off!¡±


    The Fire Gold Power King¡¯s power radiated a gold light that swept across everything within twenty yards. This move of his could instantly vaporize everything nearby.


    Boom!


    The ghostly figure disappeared. It was just an afterimage.


    ¡°Traceless Dark Night!¡±


    A mysterious aura passed through where the Fire Gold Power King was standing.


    Ding!


    Sparks flew across the Fire Gold Power King¡¯s body, and he screamed.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    There were no signs of any attack, but a bloody mark was left behind on the Fire Gold Power King¡¯s body.


    In the esteemed spectating stands:


    ¡°En, this Ye Moyu has an old bloodline ¨C the Night Shadow Bloodline ¨C which traces back to the era of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.¡±


    A purple-and-golden-robed middle-aged man appeared in the arena. Almost no one had seen him arrive.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng sensed something and couldn¡¯t help but look toward the middle-aged purple-and-golden-dragon-robed man.


    ¡°Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.¡±


    ¡°Palace Lord.¡±


    Respective sounds came from the esteemed guest stands.


    Even the Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords greeted the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord respectively.


    ¡°He¡¯s the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord?¡±


    Zhao Feng took back his gaze. He purposely didn¡¯t inspect the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord in order to avoid raising his attention. After all, his cultivation had reached the half-step Void God Realm.


    ¡°Traceless Dark Night!¡±


    Stealthy and soundless attacks stacked onto the Fire Gold Power King¡¯s body.


    Boom!


    Even though the Fire Gold Power King¡¯s defense was extremely strong, the injuries on his body added up.


    ¡°The Palace Lord has appeared?¡±


    Ye Moyu¡¯s figure merged into darkness, but he saw the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord from the corner of his eye and became slightly excited.


    ¡°Dark Night Unparalleled!¡±


    Sharp beams of light crossed together in the darkness and released a stunning power.


    Bam!


    A cross was left on the Fire Gold Power King¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    The Fire Gold Power King screamed and staggered before falling into a puddle of blood.


    Si!


    Cold breaths came from the crowd.


    ¡°It¡¯s an extremely unique secret bloodline technique that can double or even triple the power of the attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. This Ye Moyu¡¯s cultivation hadn¡¯t even reached the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, but the profoundness of his techniques made others fear him.


    ¡°Ye Moyu¡¯s victory. 57 wins.¡±


    The judge announced.


    Some of the people were happy at the result while others were not. There was gambling on every battle.


    ¡°I bet that Ye Moyu can pass 60 battles.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, I bet 70.¡±


    Many of the spectators placed their bets.


    The opponents became stronger, and the more victories one bet on, the higher their return.


    Of course, no one dared to bet on him winning a hundred times in a row. The current return was one to one thousand.


    An hour after the Fire Gold Power King¡¯s defeat, Ye Moyu challenged another three or four experts.


    ¡°I¡¯ll continue the challenges tomorrow.¡±


    Ye Moyu felt slightly tired and stopped the fight.


    He fought ten battles today, and all of the opponents had the strength of a late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°According to the rules of the hundred-win challenge, the challenger must win at least ten battles per day before resting, unless there¡¯s not enough people.¡±


    Li Yunya explained.


    Shua!


    At this moment, a member of the arena officials appeared before Li Yunya and Zhao Feng.


    The newcomer was a red-robed elder Sovereign Lord.


    ¡°My friend, if you want, you can participate in stopping Ye Moyu tomorrow.¡±


    The red-robed elder smiled as he glanced toward Li Yunya.


    ¡°This could happen?¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a weird expression.


    The red-robed elder said emotionlessly, ¡°Why not? The hundred-win challenge represents utmost glory and reward. How can it be taken so easily? It¡¯s normal to ask for outside help.¡±


    After saying that, he looked toward Li Yunya with interest.


    Li Yunya¡¯s cultivation was closing in on the peak Small Origin Core Realm, and obviously this person had seen Li Yunya¡¯s cultivation and wanted him to stop Ye Moyu.

 611 Consecutive Battles

    The Elders represented the officials of the arena. The glory of the hundred-win challenge couldn¡¯t be claimed easily. It wasn¡¯t just a huge loss to the arena financially, it also concerned the arena¡¯s fame, and the meaning of the hundred-win challenge.


    ¡°That Ye Moyu¡¯s bloodline is too mysterious and powerful. My chances of winning aren¡¯t high.¡±


    Li Yunya said.


    If the difference between cultivation wasn¡¯t big, bloodline and weapons played a huge factor. However, weapons were considered outside help, whereas bloodlines could strengthen one¡¯s defense, speed, and other aspects.


    Some bloodlines even had special abilities. Ye Moyu was an example.


    ¡°Ye Moyu¡¯s bloodline is only below those of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines like Jiang Fan¡¯s, and his battle-power is enough to break through the difference in cultivation.¡±


    Zhao Feng analyzed.


    That difference in cultivation was the difference between the Small Origin Core Realm and the Great Origin Core Realm.


    For example, Jiang Fan from the Sacred Lands was only at the early stages of the Small Origin Core Realm, but his battle-power was comparable to the early stages of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    On the other hand, Ye Moyu¡¯s bloodline was only below those of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and his cultivation was almost at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm. His mastery of bloodline techniques was also better. Therefore, his overall strength might be even stronger than Jiang Fan from back then.


    ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m not expecting you to beat Ye Moyu. All you need to do is waste his True Yuan and bloodline power.¡±


    The Elder laughed, and an invisible aura enveloped the three so that others outside couldn¡¯t hear what was being said.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng understood.


    ¡°Consecutive battles?¡±


    Zhao Feng and Li Yunya exchanged glances with surprise.


    Maybe the chance of Li Yunya winning against Ye Moyu wasn¡¯t high, but if there were two or three others comparable to Li Yunya and they fought in consecutive battles, the result might be different.


    The rules stated that every challenger needed to win ten battles before being given the right to rest, unless there were no more people left.


    ¡°What does little friend think? If you¡¯re able to expend 30% of Ye Moyu¡¯s bloodline power or True Yuan, you will instantly become an esteemed guest of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.¡±


    The Elder smiled meekly and said.


    Li Yunya¡¯s heart moved, and he looked toward Zhao Feng.


    Esteemed guests of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace had many special rights, including discounts at the markets owned by the officials.


    Being an esteemed guest of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace wasn¡¯t just a title of glory ¨C there were tangible benefits. Even some Sovereigns would do anything to become one.


    ¡°You go give it a try.¡±


    Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head, letting Li Yunya go test the waters.


    ¡°Deal.¡±


    The Elder was slightly surprised. Li Yunya, who was almost at the peak stage Small Origin Core Realm, seemed to listen to Zhao Feng.


    On that very day, Li Yunya momentarily became a helper of the officials.


    For the battles tomorrow, the officials had gotten together four or five experts. The lowest cultivation amongst them was the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm, but their true battle-power was at least at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    On the second day, Ye Moyu arrived in the arena full of battle-intent.


    The officials had gathered their powers and were prepared to stop Ye Moyu¡¯s victorious streak.


    There were also many bets. The money involved was a huge amount.


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord in his purple-and-golden dragon-robes had arrived long ago.


    ¡°Palace Lord, the battles today will be very exciting.¡±


    The Elder said respectfully.


    ¡°En.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord nodded his head faintly. He knew the rules of the hundred-win challenge extremely clearly.


    According to the norm, after one won 50 battles, the fights that followed would be consecutive battles that followed one after the other.


    ¡°Start.¡±


    The judge waved his hand.


    Ye Moyu and his opponent clashed.


    His first opponent was an agile lady who specialized in speed. Her cultivation was closing in on the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, the same as Ye Moyu.


    Shua! Shua!


    An agile figure and a ghostly figure flashed across the air and turned into blurs.


    In this first fight, Ye Moyu didn¡¯t even use his bloodline power; he simply used speed to fight against speed.


    ¡°Flower Teleportation Figure Flash!¡±


    The lady¡¯s figure started to blossom like a flower as it turned into dozens of figures. These figures flashed across the arena and surrounded Ye Moyu.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Every time he clashed with one of the lady¡¯s figures, it would shatter, and even if he managed to hit the real one, it would be replaced by another.


    ¡°These flower doppelgangers have a connection with the real body? I can¡¯t spot the real or fake ones, and any damage to the real body can be negated.¡±


    Ye Moyu couldn¡¯t help but be dazed.


    Shua! Shua! Boom!


    Figures flew around him, and every time they clashed a light would appear.


    ¡°That woman¡¯s skill seems to come from the nearby two-star sect ¨C the Flower Palace.¡±


    ¡°So, it¡¯s a technique from the Flower Teleportation True Bible.¡±


    Many people noticed its history.


    Ye Moyu¡¯s expression was slightly solemn. His first opponent was already so troublesome.


    ¡°Hehe, even the experts from the Flower Palace are interested in the Night Shadow Bloodline techniques.¡±


    The Elder smiled smugly. Even if the lady couldn¡¯t win today, she would be able to expend a lot of Ye Moyu¡¯s energy.


    ¡°Dark Night Moon Demon Sky!¡±


    A cold moonlight suddenly appeared from Ye Moyu as the image of a four-winged demon formed behind him. On top of it was a dark moon.


    Boom!


    Ye Moyu spread his arms, and the ancient power of the moon formed beams of light.


    Crack!


    The nearby figures instantly shattered.


    Bam!


    The lady wiped blood from the corner of her mouth as she staggered backward dozens of yards and admitted defeat.


    _Indeed, worthy of the Night Shadow Bloodline; he can easily fight against my techniques. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he wanted to save True Yuan, I might not have been his match in terms of speed._


    The lady didn¡¯t feel defeated after losing. After all, the Night Shadow Bloodline had a long history that could be traced back to the era of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    Ye Moyu fought several more battles after the lady lost.


    The second opponent¡­ the third opponent¡­ everyone he faced afterward weren¡¯t weaker than the lady; their battle-power only became stronger and stronger.


    The fifth opponent was a late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°This one is called Li Yunya and would like to experience the Night Shadow Bloodline.¡±


    A scholarly youth appeared on the arena. The sixth opponent was Li Yunya.


    ¡°What a strong opponent. His cultivation is almost at the peak Small Origin Core Realm.¡±


    The crowd broke out into discussion, and Ye Moyu¡¯s expression was solemn as he used his bloodline technique without hesitation.


    ¡°Void Sky Darkness!¡±


    Ye Moyu¡¯s figure merged into the darkness nearby.


    _Hmm?_


    Li Yunya stood in the darkness and felt his senses become restricted.


    Shua!


    Ye Moyu had merged into the darkness; he could now appear anywhere.


    Within the Void Sky Darkness, Ye Moyu¡¯s speed was comparable to Grandmaster Yin Kong¡¯s.


    ¡°Seven Star Heaven Slaughtering Technique!¡±


    Li Yunya summoned his Earth-Grade sword, and meteorites seemed to fall from the sky. He used a large-scale attack straight away.


    ¡°Hmph, in the Void Sky Darkness, my body is like the moonlight. Any damage received is decreased by half.¡±


    Ye Moyu snickered coldly.


    His figure could easily fly through the Void Sky Darkness, and he would appear where the sword-beams were weakest and block them there.


    ¡°Traceless Dark Night!¡±


    A mysterious aura shot toward Li Yunya.


    Li Yunya had just used a large-scale attack, so his defense was slightly weak; he barely managed to block Ye Moyu¡¯s attacks.


    Boom! Boom!


    A bloody gash was left on Li Yunya¡¯s back.


    ¡°Sword Star Beams!¡±


    Li Yunya shouted as he turned from offense to defense. A beam of sword-light appeared, and this beam could protect the body or fly through the air and attack.


    The fight was extremely intense, but from beginning to end, Li Yunya was suppressed.


    Twenty moves later, a small mark was left on Li Yunya¡¯s throat and he admitted defeat. Although he lost, Li Yunya had caused Ye Moyu to expend a lot of energy.


    Other experts appeared afterward as well, and all of them had weird and unique techniques that made Ye Moyu fight all-out.


    Ye Moyu¡¯s face was pale-white; he had used a lot of True Yuan after the seventh battle. At this moment, he had already used 60-70% of his bloodline power and True Yuan.


    The eighth and ninth opponent were both extremely strong. They were even more powerful than Li Yunya.


    ¡°Blood Wings Demonic Sovereign.¡±


    The ninth opponent was a blood-robed Sovereign who radiated a demonic and extremely cold aura of blood.


    When this person appeared on stage, everyone broke out into chaos.


    ¡°Blood Wings Demonic Light!¡±


    The blood-robed Sovereign had a black mole on his forehead. He clasped his hands together, and demonic bloody wings surged from his body. Their power was comparable to a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.


    Boom!


    Just one palm alone sent Ye Moyu flying.


    Wah!


    Ye Moyu spat out a mouthful of blood as he tumbled out of the arena.


    At this moment, his True Yuan was completely empty, and he no longer had any power to fight back against the Blood Wings Demonic Sovereign whose battle-power was comparable to the Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Haha¡­. You can¡¯t even block one move. Too weak.¡±


    The Blood Wings Demonic Sovereign laughed as he left the arena.


    Ye Moyu¡¯s hundred-win challenge ended there, and sighs of regret came from the crowd.


    If Ye Moyu was at his peak state, maybe he could fight against the Blood Wings Demonic Sovereign, but his True Yuan and bloodline power had all been expended beforehand.


    ¡°This Ye Moyu is a rare genius. Let him meet me later.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord said in a low tone.


    At this moment, Ye Moyu had a grim expression as he gritted his teeth, ¡°This hundred-win challenge is not fair at all. You¡¯re just using low tricks like consecutive battles.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, you can¡¯t even handle consecutive battles? The hundred-win challenge represents utmost glory ¨C someone who isn¡¯t scared of any tricks and has unparalleled battle-power.¡±


    The Elder mocked.


    Right as Ye Moyu was feeling angry and cheated.


    ¡°Let us welcome our newest hundred-win challenger¡­ Zhao Feng!¡±

 612 Instant Thirty Victories

    ¡°Let us welcome our newest hundred-win challenger¡­ Zhao Feng!¡±


    A bright voice sounded across the arena.


    Because of Ye Moyu¡¯s defeat, the atmosphere was kind of dim, but everyone was suddenly shaken by this voice.


    ¡°Another challenger has appeared so soon?¡±


    Many experts were surprised. Ye Moyu¡¯s unfair loss wasn¡¯t enough to stop this challenger?


    Furthermore, this new challenger started the challenge directly after Ye Moyu lost. This meant that their strength should be at least as strong as Ye Moyu.


    ¡°Zhao Feng? Never heard of him.¡±


    ¡°What kind of person will this new challenger be?¡±


    The atmosphere in the arena was lit up once more, and the gazes of the crowd became expectant.


    A figure at the Small Origin Core Realm soon slowly walked onto the stage.


    This new challenger was a calm youth only about twenty years old. From the Zhao Family to now, he had grown into a powerful youth.


    ¡°He¡¯s Zhao Feng?¡±


    Many gazes were disappointed as they landed on the youth.


    This new challenger didn¡¯t seem to be special. His cultivation wasn¡¯t even as high as Ye Moyu.


    ¡°It¡¯s that kid?¡±


    The Elder¡¯s eyes lit up as he looked toward Li Yunya. If he remembered correctly, Zhao Feng and Li Yunya were together.


    ¡°Hmph, he¡¯s even weaker than me and dares to try the hundred-win challenge?¡±


    Ye Moyu¡¯s fists were tightly clenched together. He felt humiliated.


    ¡°The first battle of the hundred-win challenge.¡±


    A Great Origin Core Realm judge said nonchalantly.


    In the corner, Ye Moyu watched with a cold gaze. He wanted to personally witness this challenger¡¯s defeat before leaving.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, this brat¡¯s only at the early stages of the Small Origin Core Realm. It¡¯d be a miracle if he could last more than four or five battles.¡±


    The discussions nearby were exactly what Ye Moyu was thinking.


    On the stage, Zhao Feng smiled, ¡°The glory of the hundred-win challenge shall be taken by me.¡±


    __


    _Ridiculous!_


    Many spectators rolled their eyes, and Ye Moyu¡¯s face twitched. Where did this brat get his confidence from? It was an especially humiliating for someone like him who already lost.


    ¡°Hehe, brat, if you can¡¯t win ten battles, you won¡¯t even be able to win back the entrance fee.¡±


    The Elder laughed.


    Right at that moment, Zhao Feng faced his first opponent.


    ¡°Kid, let this spectator play with you.¡±


    A Small Origin Core Realm middle-aged man rubbed his palms together as he appeared onstage with a playful expression.


    This middle-aged Small Origin Core Realm was a spectator who had reached the early stage of the Small Origin Core Realm, the same as Zhao Feng.


    The early stages of the hundred-win challenge usually consisted of spectators, and the officials weren¡¯t very strict about things at this point. As long as one didn¡¯t win fifty fights, they wouldn¡¯t raise the attention of the officials.


    ¡°Start.¡±


    The judge waved his hand.


    The middle-aged Sovereign laughed and threw a simple fist toward Zhao Feng, and it caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to howl.


    If this fist was thrown on a continent, it would be able to destroy a mountain, but this was the Void Ocean Arena; attacks of every type were restricted.


    Bam!


    The middle-aged Sovereign¡¯s attack missed, and his body froze as he was sent flying.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    The middle-aged Sovereign didn¡¯t see anything at all before he was thrown out of the arena.


    Plop!


    The middle-aged Sovereign spat out a mouthful of blood after landing on the ground.


    The arena instantly became quiet, and the smiles of mockery on the spectators¡¯ expressions froze.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng gently blew air on his fist as he landed on the ground.


    ¡°It ended just like that? What speed!¡±


    Many spectators finally returned to reality. Most of them couldn¡¯t even see how Zhao Feng moved, and the red-robed Elder¡¯s heart jumped. Looks like this new challenger was already charging forward fiercely.


    Thinking back to how Li Yunya seemed to listen to this youth¡¯s orders, the red-robed Elder¡¯s heart became slightly uneasy.


    At the center of the esteemed guest spectating stands:


    ¡°That punch just now was pure physical strength. His body is like a giant beast.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord murmured. Because this was the hundred-win challenge, Zhao Feng¡¯s appearance caught the Lord¡¯s attention, and he surprised many people.


    ¡°The second fight.¡±


    The judge waved his hand.


    Whoosh!


    Another spectator flew out.


    The newcomer was a skinny man whose aura was sharp, as if he had fought in many battles. Although he was at the early stages of the Small Origin Core Realm as well, his strength was obviously stronger than the middle-aged Sovereign.


    ¡°Dominating Tiger Flying Sky!¡±


    The skinny male¡¯s figure flashed as he became as agile as a leopard and shot toward Zhao Feng as quick as lightning.


    It was obvious that this skinny male specialized in speed.


    Boom!


    A loud explosion sounded between Zhao Feng and the skinny male.


    Zhao Feng made no signs of dodging as he thrusted out his fist.


    The instant the punch was thrown, a terrifying aura of an ancient desolate beast seemed to appear from Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    The skinny male felt unable to breathe.


    Boom!


    The skinny male¡¯s arm was broken, and he was sent flying as he coughed out blood.


    _Victory in one move._


    The arena was filled with discussion.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t display overwhelming strength, it was shocking to defeat others at the same cultivation with just one brutal move.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s body seems to contain an ancient bloodline power that¡¯s probably close to the existence of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.¡±


    Surprise appeared in the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s eyes. He felt that the bloodline aura within Zhao Feng was even purer than Ye Moyu¡¯s.


    ¡°The third fight¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng faced fight after fight.


    Bam!


    Another simple punch sent the opponent flying.


    At the beginning, the fighters consisted mainly of early-stage Small Origin Core Realms and middle-stage Small Origin Core realms.


    Three consecutive wins¡­ four consecutive wins¡­ five consecutive wins¡­.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed of winning was much faster than Ye Moyu when the latter was at this stage.


    ¡°What quick speed and terrifying power. He¡¯s easily crushing those at the same cultivation.¡±


    Ye Moyu was faintly dazed.


    The speed that Zhao Feng displayed was even slightly faster than his when he didn¡¯t use his bloodline power. Furthermore, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t just fast. His body and physical strength were also terrifying.


    Seven consecutive wins¡­ eight consecutive wins¡­ nine consecutive wins¡­.


    Zhao Feng soon faced his tenth battle.


    ¡°Let me fight.¡±


    A deep voice sounded, and its owner walked out from the area of the officials.


    The newcomer was a black-skinned, bulky youth whose muscles seemed to be made of black iron that gave off a cold aura.


    Bam!


    The black-skinned, bulky male caused the arena to tremble when he landed on it. The strength he displayed was similar to a giant beast.


    ¡°It¡¯s him¡­. Iron Back Black King!¡±


    Many spectators exclaimed as they recognized his identity. The Iron Back Black King¡¯s cultivation had reached the middle stages of the Small Origin Core Realm, and it was closing in on the late stage.


    Furthermore, he was a body cultivator.


    ¡°Powering the World!¡±


    The Iron Back Black King was like a giant beast as he sent out fists and punches crushing forward.


    ¡°Bloodline techniques and turning body-strength into phantom images.¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a weird expression. He finally met someone slightly interesting at the tenth battle because the tenth battle was a critical point.


    If one couldn¡¯t win the tenth battle, they wouldn¡¯t even be able to win back their entrance fee.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng roared as his bones and blood released a power that belonged to an ancient source.


    Wu~


    The instant this fist was thrown, roars of ancient beasts seemed to sound around Zhao Feng, and the fierce aura made even the Iron Back Black King unable to breathe.


    ¡°My bloodline power and that brat¡¯s aura¡­.¡±


    The Iron Back Black King¡¯s heart trembled.


    Crack!


    The phantom images formed from his bloodline techniques were shattered by Zhao Feng¡¯s fist.


    Wah!


    The Iron Back Black King immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying.


    Ten consecutive wins. Zhao Feng¡¯s face wasn¡¯t red nor did his heart beat quickly. He hadn¡¯t used any True Yuan at all nor any bit of bloodline power.


    With the use of the Ancient Dream Realm aura and the heart blood essence, his body and state of existence had changed dramatically. Currently, his state of existence had reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm, while his body-strength was comparable to a beast of the same cultivation.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng¡¯s body contained an ancient aura that suppressed bloodline powers.


    ¡°Apart from the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, there¡¯s hardly any other bloodline auras that can suppress so many bloodlines.¡±


    A light flashed through the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s eyes as he murmured.


    After winning the tenth battle, Zhao Feng continued to fight. After all, he hadn¡¯t even used any True Yuan yet.


    Eleven consecutive wins¡­ twelve consecutive wins¡­ fifteen consecutive wins¡­.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s win record kept on increasing, and all of his opponents were sent flying with one fist while their bloodline powers were suppressed.


    ¡°Twenty consecutive wins.¡±


    The arena broke out into discussion. According to the rules of the hundred-win challenge, the challenger had the right to rest after winning ten battles each day, but Zhao Feng had won twenty in a row already.


    What was even scarier was that his face wasn¡¯t even red or anything. He still hadn¡¯t used any True Yuan nor bloodline power.


    ¡°He¡¯s obviously not a body cultivator, and he¡¯s only at the measly early stages of the Small Origin Core Realm, and yet¡­¡±


    Shock appeared in Ye Moyu¡¯s eyes. Twenty victories on the first day was what he had achieved. However, Ye Moyu was somewhat tired after those twenty battles, so he didn¡¯t keep challenging.


    Currently, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t displayed strength surpassing Ye Moyu yet, but this man hadn¡¯t even used any True Yuan or bloodline power.


    One could only use ¡°unfathomable¡± to describe him.


    An hour later:


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng thrusted out a faint purple fist that sent a late-stage Small Origin Core Realm expert flying.


    Hua!


    The arena broke out into chaos.


    ¡°Thirty consecutive wins.¡±


    The judge was slightly stunned as he announced.


    This youth had only used the slightest bit of True Yuan in the thirty battles. If this continued, he could definitely win a hundred fights in a row.


    ¡°Due to the lack of opponents, today¡¯s hundred-win challenge will stop.¡±


    The red-robed Elder waved his hand and stopped the challenge. His expression was grim. This brat¡¯s strength was too great, so he needed to think of a plan for tomorrow.

 613 Tipping Over

    The red-robed Elder represented the officials and ended the hundred-win challenge for today.


    Many spectators were dissatisfied by this action, and some places broke out into chaos. Many could see that the officials just wanted to drag it out and give themselves time to come up with a way to deal with Zhao Feng.


    _He¡¯s indeed worthy of being the captain._


    Li Yunya sighed in his heart.


    In the corner of the arena:


    ¡°Winning 30 battles, each with just one move. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the officials stopped things here, it¡¯s very likely that he could win 50 or 60 at once.¡±


    Ye Moyu was dazed. Even he didn¡¯t have the ability to make the officials forcefully stop his challenge.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s wait till tomorrow.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed and appeared next to Li Yunya.


    Many gazes looked toward the two, and Zhao Feng could feel the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s gaze.


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord was the person with the highest cultivation present, and his eyes contained a powerful intent.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t avoid the gaze; he looked directly toward the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s eyes.


    Boom!


    Facing the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s gaze, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul shook. He felt as if he was facing a god.


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s gaze contained limitless force. It was as if his every thought could shatter stones and twist the heavens.


    _After all, he_ is _at the half-step Void God Realm. He has part of a Void God Realm King¡¯s power. His soul and body exist in harmony with the heavens and earth._


    Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s soul is also unexpectedly strong.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord said gently.


    His estimation of Zhao Feng was the most accurate amongst the spectators, and he couldn¡¯t help but become slightly interested in tomorrow¡¯s battles.


    That night, Zhao Feng returned to the hotel and entered seclusion. He had gained a new understanding of his body and state of existence after today¡¯s fights, and he spent the entire night getting used to and familiarizing himself with his power.


    On the second day, the arena was full of people and excitement.


    Compared with yesterday, there were twice as many experts here. The story of Zhao Feng winning 30 fights had spread across the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    ¡°The bets are now open.¡±


    There were specific people from the officials that initiated the gamble.


    The bets for Zhao Feng were: 60 wins, 70 wins, 80 wins, 90 wins, and 100 wins.


    The ratio for winning the hundred-win bet was one to thirty. This meant that, as long as Zhao Feng won all one hundred fights, one would receive thirty times the amount one wagered.


    However, no one in the past century had completed the hundred-win challenge, and the officials used every method they could think of to stop a new winner from emerging. Therefore, not many people would bet on 100 wins.


    Amongst the wagers, most put their money on 60 or 70 wins, but if Zhao Feng ending winning even more fights, such as 80 wins, those that bet their money on 70 wins would lose money.


    ¡°I bet one million high-grade Primal Crystal Stones on myself.¡±


    A faint voice came from behind.


    _One million high-grade Primal Crystal Stones._


    Many people placing bets were dazed. A million high-grade Primal Crystal Stones wasn¡¯t a small amount. It was almost the value of a slightly inferior Earth-Grade weapon.


    One had to know that one high-grade Primal Crystal Stone was worth ten thousand normal Primal Crystal Stones, not the substandard ones.


    One million high-grade Primal Crystal Stones was worth ten billion normal Primal Crystal Stone.


    Siii!


    The officials jumped up in fright. Looking closely, they saw that the gambler was Zhao Feng.


    Li Yunya laughed and also bet a couple dozen thousand high-grade Primal Crystal Stones on Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    Mockery passed over the red-robed Elder¡¯s face.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng!¡±


    With a burning atmosphere, Zhao Feng walked onto the stage.


    In a corner of the arena, Ye Moyu¡¯s cold eyes watched intently.


    ¡°The thirty-first battle of the hundred-win challenge.¡±


    The judge announced.


    The opponent for the thirty-first battle was a late-stage Small Origin Core Realm in white clothes.


    ¡°The first battle today is already a late-stage Small Origin Core Realm!¡±


    Many people exclaimed, and those betting became cautious.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, don¡¯t even think about winning after meeting me, Jiang Zile.¡±


    A smile appeared on the face of the male in white.


    Weng~~


    The male in white waved his hand, and an old green metal book appeared in the air that gave off a glow of rainbow-colored light.


    Shua!


    A brush appeared in his other hand.


    ¡°It¡¯s Scholar Heaven Entertainment.¡±


    ¡°So, it¡¯s Scholar Heaven Entertainment Jiang Zile! This person was one of the top three geniuses in the Eternally Sealed Islands Zone twenty years ago, and he came from the two-star sect Heaven¡¯s Entertainment Castle¡­.¡±


    Many people exclaimed in the stands as they recognized his identity.


    ¡°Interesting.¡±


    Interest appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    There were countless forces and factions in the Fan Universe, but most were vanquished through the passage of time and history.


    The brush and book in Jiang Zile¡¯s hands were both low-ranked Earth-Grade weapons.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed and appeared in front of Jiang Zile. A faint purple aura appeared as he punched out like a giant desolate beast.


    ¡°So fast! This aura¡­!¡±


    Jiang Zile felt pressure on his True Yuan from this terrifying aura.


    ¡°Nine Word Metal Book!¡±


    Jiang Zile didn¡¯t panic as the old green metal book in his hand opened and old mysterious words appeared in the air, forming a wall of green light in front of himself.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s punch caused the green light to crack, but the mysterious words caused the wall to be repaired quickly.


    ¡°Drawing a Prison!¡±


    Jiang Zile retreated a couple steps before using his brush to start drawing lines in the air.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly. He found that these lines formed a prison that trapped him inside.


    ¡°He¡¯s indeed worthy of being the Scholar Heaven Entertainment.¡±


    Many experts couldn¡¯t help but praise him.


    As the green-and-gold prison continued to close in on Zhao Feng:


    ¡°Interesting¡­ but it ends here.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became dim as he raised his hand, and sharp arcs of purple wind and lightning formed into a claw.


    _Purple Destruction Wind Lightning Claw!_


    The claw was only several yards long, but it was so condensed that it seemed real, and it caused thunder to boom.


    Crack!


    The claw of Destruction slashed through the air and brought an aura of Destruction with it that caused souls to shake.


    ¡°Not good¡­!¡±


    Jiang Zile exclaimed as he saw his prison ripped apart like paper.


    Bam!


    The claw of Destruction sent Jiang Zile flying for several hundred yards.


    Plop!


    When he landed on the ground, the originally snow-white clothes had turned black, and smoke was emitting from his body.


    The thirty-first win. Zhao Feng¡¯s first fight ended in victory, and the crowd cheered Zhao Feng on.


    ¡°Even Jiang Zile, who¡¯s said to be perfect in offense and defense and an elite of the Small Origin Core Realm, lost.¡±


    The red-robed Elder¡¯s expression changed slightly. The reason he put Jiang Zile first was to make it difficult for Zhao Feng to win as easily as yesterday, but Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had surpassed their expectations.


    ¡°It¡¯s best to end the fights fast in order to preserve True Yuan.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured. His goal was to finish all one hundred fights in one breath.


    Many opponents at the middle-stage and late-stage of the Small Origin Core Realm followed after Jiang Zile, but none of them were stronger than Jiang Zile.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed and offense kept rising, and he could easily defeat a normal late-stage Small Origin Core Realm with one move.


    Boom!


    Bam!


    One spectator after another was defeated by Zhao Feng, and to save time, Zhao Feng sometimes fought multiple opponents at once.


    35 consecutive wins¡­ 40 consecutive wins¡­ 45 consecutive wins¡­.


    Within two hours¡¯ time, Zhao Feng won 50 consecutive fights total, meaning that he had already completed half of the hundred-win challenge.


    The spectators were stunned, and more surprisingly, Zhao Feng still hadn¡¯t used much True Yuan.


    Most of his attacks relied on speed and his physical body. If he used True Yuan, he would win in one move.


    No opponent was able to match Zhao Feng¡¯s speed.


    ¡°60 consecutive wins!¡±


    The spectators were scared to close their eyes in case they missed a fight; Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was just too fast.


    After 60 consecutive wins, Zhao Feng¡¯s opponents became stronger as well, and half of the opponents were at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    A small number of them were even comparable to the skeletal Division Leader and Li Yunya.


    Strange and different bloodline techniques and countless skills were used, but Zhao Feng¡¯s body and source of power had absorbed the aura of the Ancient Dream Realm, so it suppressed many bloodlines.


    The effect was similar to Jiang Fan, who had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    ¡°The seventieth fight.¡±


    The judge let out a breath as he announced.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your opponent is me.¡±


    An elegant male appeared on stage.


    _Ye Moyu!_


    The crowd once again broke out into discussion.


    His opponent was the previous loser of the hundred-win challenge, Ye Moyu.


    ¡°Hmph, being someone who failed, Ye Moyu definitely doesn¡¯t want to see someone win the glory of the hundred-win challenge.¡±


    The Elder in red laughed coldly.


    ¡°Start.¡±


    Ye Moyu immediately attacked when the judge made the announcement.


    He had watched the previous fights, so he knew that Zhao Feng was as quick as lightning and won in just a flash. Ye Moyu didn¡¯t want to end up like that.


    ¡°Void Sky Darkness!¡±


    Ye Moyu¡¯s figure merged into the surrounding darkness.


    In this darkness, Zhao Feng¡¯s senses were restricted, and it was hard for him to catch sight of Ye Moyu.


    The Void Sky Darkness was Ye Moyu¡¯s bloodline domain. No one before had truly been able to break through this technique. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they fought him one after another and caused his bloodline power to run out, Ye Moyu wouldn¡¯t have lost.

 614 Suppressing the Crowd

    ¡°Void Sky Darkness!¡±


    Zhao Feng was covered in darkness and lost track of Ye Moyu.


    Many spectators were familiar with Ye Moyu¡¯s Night Shadow Bloodline. This bloodline allowed Ye Moyu to merge into the darkness and appear anywhere.


    ¡°My senses are restricted in this domain, and not only has Ye Moyu¡¯s speed reached its peak, his body is like moonlight, so all damage is reduced by half.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t make any rash movements. Staying still was the best solution when the enemy was in the dark and he was in the light. Once Zhao Feng attacked and revealed a flaw, that chance would be instantly seized by Ye Moyu.


    ¡°Traceless Dark Night!¡±


    A mysterious aura flashed across the darkness.


    Whoosh!


    Invisible cold winds were already scraping across Zhao Feng¡¯s skin.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    By the time Zhao Feng sensed something, Ye Moyu¡¯s attack had almost landed already. Because Ye Moyu had merged into his darkness domain, he could appear anywhere. It was similar to the little thieving cat¡¯s abilities.


    Bo~~


    A ripple of water appeared around Zhao Feng¡¯s body instantly.


    Boom!


    Ye Moyu felt like his attack was striking the ocean when it hit the ripple of water, and the power was greatly diminished.


    _Purple Destruction Wind Lightning Claw!_


    Zhao Feng reacted instantly as he swung, but he missed.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Ye Moyu¡¯s voice sounded in another place.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes squinted. This Ye Moyu was indeed troublesome.


    In the darkness domain, Ye Moyu was like a fish in water. He could appear anywhere and immediately teleport away after attacking. In this situation, he could attack his opponent while his opponent could do nothing.


    ¡°He¡¯s indeed strong; he¡¯s made Zhao Feng reveal his bloodline power.¡±


    The red-robed Elder smiled faintly.


    No one had the advantage during the first clash.


    ¡°The defense of Zhao Feng¡¯s Water bloodline is incredible. Even though my offense is much stronger in the darkness, I still couldn¡¯t injure him.¡±


    Ye Moyu¡¯s figure merged into the darkness, but a smile appeared on his lips. He was at his peak state, and he was currently in the dark while the enemy was in the light. He held the initiative, whereas Zhao Feng had used some of his energy for no reason.


    ¡°Interesting, but my aim is one hundred wins, so I need to finish the battles quickly.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes became sharp as his Water bloodline power surged outward, giving off a monstrous aura.


    ¡°What¡­!?¡±


    In front of this aura, Ye Moyu¡¯s bloodline power trembled faintly and was suppressed.


    Ye Moyu couldn¡¯t believe it. Apart from the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, what other kind of bloodline could suppress his Night Shadow Bloodline?


    Everything happened too quickly.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Seal, Ice Imperial Domain!¡±


    Zhao Feng roared as a transparent blue crystalline seal pressed down onto the ground.


    Boom!


    The ice-blue seal expanded like a lotus and instantly became dozens of times bigger as it froze everything nearby.


    A blue layer of light with ancient carvings gave off a forbidden coldness as it spread across the area.


    ¡°My Void Sky Darkness!¡±


    Ye Moyu¡¯s expression changed dramatically. His body became cold, and he could only watch as the darkness become sealed in ice.


    Even he was starting to freeze in the Ice Imperial Domain.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power is even stronger than Ye Moyu¡¯s Night Shadow Bloodline, and that power of Water and Ice is extremely pure.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s expression changed.


    In the clash between bloodline domains, Zhao Feng instantly crushed Ye Moyu.


    ¡°Ice Explosion!¡±


    Before Ye Moyu could escape, Zhao Feng¡¯s fist smashed onto the ground.


    Boom~~~~~


    The area full of ice instantly turned into a whirlwind of ice shards that swept across the entire arena.


    The array around the arena shook as frost appeared on its surface.


    Bam!


    A rumpled figure was sent flying out of the arena by the terrifying coldness and spat out a mouthful of blood in midair.


    Plop!


    When Ye Moyu fell onto the ground, his entire body was frozen.


    The crowd broke out into discussion. Even someone as troublesome as Ye Moyu was defeated by Zhao Feng and thrown out of the arena.


    ¡°Although I used some of my bloodline power, that¡¯s the most effective way.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    Trapped within Ye Moyu¡¯s domain and not using his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he was suppressed and couldn¡¯t lock on to the opponent.


    ¡°The seventy-second battle¡­.¡±


    The judge continued to announce.


    Each opponent after the seventieth fight was not simple. Everyone¡¯s battle-power was at least at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm or even the peak stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    These opponents were at least as strong as Li Yunya and the skeletal Division Leader.


    To finish off the battles quickly, Zhao Feng had to use his Purple Destruction True Yuan or his bloodline power.


    72 consecutive wins¡­ 73 consecutive wins¡­ 74 consecutive wins¡­.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s record kept on advancing, and the spectators were all full of excitement. They gave their utmost attention.


    ¡°Purple Lightning Wind Ring!¡±


    Bright arcs of purple Wind Lightning gave off an aura of Destruction as they shot off in every direction.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Three late-stage Small Origin Core Realm experts were immediately sent flying and their bodies were scorched black.


    Siiii!


    The crowd all took in cold breaths.


    This was just too crazy. That was three whole late-stage Small Origin Core Realms.


    ¡°We can¡¯t continue like this. Expend his True Yuan one at a time.¡±


    The expression of the red-robed Elder changed as he ordered. Zhao Feng fought two to three people simultaneously several times. It was way too efficient.


    The eightieth fight.


    ¡°Blood Wings Demonic Sovereign!¡±


    A blood-robed Sovereign with a mole on his forehead radiated an aura of blood and evil.


    Exclamations came from the crowd.


    He was the one who defeated Ye Moyu in one move before, and he had reached the peak stage of the Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Blood Wings Demonic Light!¡±


    The blood-robed Sovereign snickered as demonic and bloody wings formed behind his back. The power contained within was comparable to the Great Origin Core Realm.


    At this moment, even Zhao Feng felt a faint pressure.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The blood-robed Sovereign¡¯s attack contained the power of the demonic wings, which caused the entire arena to glow with a faint blood-colored light.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning!¡±


    A pair of wings formed behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back, and a purple color glowed in his source of True Yuan.


    Boom!


    A terrifying surge of Purple Destruction Wind Lightning swept across the entire arena, causing lightning to strike and thunder to boom as it gave off an ancient aura of Destruction.


    A lightning dragon of Destruction seemed to roar in the storm.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The Blood Wing Demonic Sovereign screamed as his body was thrown out of the arena.


    The eightieth fight was won in one move.


    Teng!


    The Elder in red abruptly stood up, and his face was filled with solemnness.


    ¡°Is this his true strength? Sending even the Blood Wing Demonic Sovereign flying in just one move?¡±


    Ye Moyu¡¯s pale face was filled with shock.


    One had to know that, when the Blood Wing Demonic Sovereign used his Blood Wings Demonic Light secret technique, his bloodline power was comparable to a Sovereign Lord for a short time.


    81 consecutive wins¡­ 85 consecutive wins¡­ 89 consecutive wins¡­.


    Unstoppable. Zhao Feng¡¯s Purple Destruction Wind Lightning and bloodline power showed his true strength.


    Every opponent after the ninetieth battle was at an entirely new level. Their battle-power was at least comparable to the Blood Wing Demonic Sovereign, and their bloodlines and unique abilities were all extremely famous.


    91 consecutive wins¡­ 92 consecutive wins¡­ 93 consecutive wins¡­.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s victories weren¡¯t easy anymore. He had to give his full attention and use unique abilities to win.


    ¡°These opponents are all close to the Great Origin Core Realm in their battle-power, and they¡¯re comparable to normal Sovereign Lords.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt pressured. If there were only one or two of these opponents, he wouldn¡¯t put them in his eyes. However, after fighting for such a long time, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy, bloodline power, and True Yuan were being used up.


    Many of the later opponents could easily beat Ye Moyu.


    94 consecutive wins¡­ 95 consecutive wins¡­ 96 consecutive wins¡­.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng! Zhao Feng¡­!¡±


    Cheers came from the arena, and many spectators were waiting to witness the moment of history.


    ¡°He¡¯s too strong. Captain¡¯s bloodline power and Wind Lightning techniques are still suppressing everyone even after the ninetieth battle.¡±


    Li Yunya was stunned.


    However, after the ninety-fifth battle, sweat appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead. There were signs of fatigue on his face.


    ¡°Although my Purple Destruction True Yuan is extremely strong, the quantity is even smaller than normal Small Origin Core Realms.¡±


    Zhao Feng realized the problem.


    When he broke through to the Origin Core Realm, he absorbed the Heaven Earth Aura from the Ancient Dream Realm, and Zhao Feng¡¯s Core Center shrunk by ten times.


    ¡°Hmph.¡±


    Coldness flashed across the Elder in red¡¯s face.


    The ninety-sixth and ninety-seventh opponents¡¯ battle-power was completely comparable to the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power as he waved his Imperial Ice Spear and used overwhelming power to defeat his opponent, but at this moment in time, over half of Zhao Feng¡¯s True Yuan and bloodline power had been used up.


    ¡°Three more fights!¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s only three more battles left. Can a miracle really happen?¡±


    The crowd was filled with excitement.


    ¡°The ninety-eighth battle.¡±


    A faint smile appeared on the judge¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°Brat, it all ends here.¡±


    A strong surge of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi that seemed to have fused with the universe descended from the sky.


    Shua!


    After saying that, an elder appeared on the arena.


    ¡°Great Origin Core Realm!¡±


    ¡°A Sovereign Lord? This has exceeded the challenges of the Small Origin Core Realm!¡±


    The arena was thrown off balance.


    ¡°Hehe, according to the rules, experts a rank higher can appear in the last three fights.¡±


    The Elder in red smiled.


    At this moment, the majority of Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline and True Yuan had been used up. How would he face the three Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords?

 615 Thousand Year Record

    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that the last three opponents would be Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords.¡±


    ¡°Aye, if Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t so arrogant in trying to finish all the fights at once, maybe he would¡¯ve had some hope.¡±


    Many of the spectators revealed regretful and sympathetic expressions.


    At this moment, sweat appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s head and his breathing rate increased.


    One had to admit that Zhao Feng had a high chance of winning against normal Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords; after all, many opponents he had fought before have possessed the power of a normal Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord, temporarily or otherwise.


    ¡°I¡¯ve expended over 70% of both my True Yuan and bloodline power¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected his opponent. The elder had reached the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm; this was the limit within the rules.


    ¡°There¡¯s still three people left to beat the challenge. I need to finish them off as fast as possible.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    ¡°Start.¡±


    The judge waved his hand.


    _Iron River Mountain!_


    The elder thrusted out his hand, and bronze mountains seemed to jut out and change the landscape.


    Boom! Boom! Peng~~~!


    The elder focused on stability as he steadily crushed toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hmph, does that Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord have any face at all? Trying to drag out the fight with Captain.¡±


    Li Yunya¡¯s expression was filled with disdain and anger. It wasn¡¯t hard to see that the opponent only wanted to stall Zhao Feng, not win.


    ¡°Water Spirit Divine Change!¡±


    A deep blue light glowed around Zhao Feng and caused space to twist. His body became liquid as ripples of water flowed over him.


    Bo~~


    In that instant, Zhao Feng became a Water Spirit Giant.


    Boom! Boom! Bam~~~


    The elder¡¯s attacks were like stones sinking into the ocean as they passed straight through Zhao Feng¡¯s body. Under the Water Spirit Divine Change state, Zhao Feng¡¯s defense was almost unparalleled, and attacks were ignored.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    The Water Spirit Giant Zhao Feng turned to thrust out his palms, sending tsunami-like waves of water charging forward.


    Mysterious carvings and patterns appeared within the deep blue light, and they gave off a powerful aura. As Zhao Feng kept absorbing the Ancient Dream Realm aura, his bloodline and body were undergoing an unknown change.


    Crack!


    The elder was forced to retreat in the head-on clash.


    After two or three blows, the elder spat out a mouthful of blood as he tried to hold on.


    ¡°An ancient aura? Does this Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline also come from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races? How else could it be so strong?¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord started to think.


    Right at this moment:


    Boom!


    The defensive array on the stage shook as the elder was sent flying.


    ¡°That is definitely from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­.¡±


    The elder¡¯s expression was pale-white and full of shock. If he lost to some other random Small Origin Core Realm Sovereign, he wouldn¡¯t be able to accept that reality, but if he was beaten by a Small Origin Core Realm that had a legendary bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, there wasn¡¯t much face to lose.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng returned to his solid state and spoke in an emotionless tone, ¡°This one¡¯s bloodline inheritance is still a bit away from the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.¡±


    Zhao Feng had witnessed the true power of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline before.


    In terms of suppression, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline aura was at the same level as the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, but Zhao Feng thought that there was still a difference between Jiang Fan¡¯s bloodline and his own bloodline.


    ¡°If I keep on absorbing the Ancient Dream Realm aura, my bloodline will be become comparable to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart surged. He remembered clearly how his bloodline was suppressed by Jiang Fan¡¯s, but now his bloodline was comparable with Jiang Fan¡¯s from a year ago.


    ¡°The ninety-ninth battle.¡±


    The gaze that the judge gave Zhao Feng was now different.


    The atmosphere in the arena rose rapidly, and some spectators held their breaths.


    ¡°Who would¡¯ve thought that even a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord would be defeated by Zhao Feng?¡±


    Everyone had underestimated Zhao Feng¡¯s strength, including the experts among the officials and even the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re indeed strong. I admire you.¡±


    A pretty and elegant red-robed woman said respectfully.


    ¡°Unfortunately, your bloodline power and True Yuan have run out. Even if you can beat me, you can¡¯t win the hundredth battle.¡±


    The red-robed woman said regretfully.


    She calculated that Zhao Feng only had around 10% of his True Yuan and bloodline power left.


    Zhao Feng stood motionless with the same expression.


    His state of existence was extremely strong, so his recovery speed was comparable to some legendary bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    ¡°Flaming Phoenix Technique!¡±


    The red-robed woman saw that and quickly attacked. Her body was bathed in a flaming red light, and she seemed like a phoenix as she charged toward Zhao Feng with a shout.


    In terms of offense, she was even stronger than the elder from before.


    ¡°Water Spirit Divine Change!¡±


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power without hesitation as he turned into a Water Spirit Giant again. This time, Zhao Feng felt an empty sensation after turning into liquid form.


    Bam!


    The Water Spirit Giant was undefeatable as it suppressed the red-robed woman.


    Wu~~


    Mysterious patterns and carvings appeared in its palm that gave off an ancient and old aura.


    ¡°Even my Flaming Phoenix Bloodline is being suppressed¡­?¡±


    The red-robed woman¡¯s blood boiled.


    Ten moves later:


    Boom!


    The red-robed woman was thrown out of the arena, and the crowd started to enter heated discussions.


    99 consecutive wins! The hearts of countless spectators surged with excitement.


    Weng~~


    The instant Zhao Feng turned back to his physical solidified form, his body wavered unstably.


    ¡°Captain!¡±


    Li Yunya¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    On the arena stage, Zhao Feng¡¯s face was pale-white, and he managed to barely stabilize himself after his True Yuan and bloodline power ran out.


    ¡°Both my bloodline power and True Yuan have been all used up¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng used his strong willpower to stabilize himself and try to recover as much as he could.


    At this moment in time, the arena was dead silent. Many experts watched Zhao Feng, who had reached the peak of ninety-nine wins.


    Was all this effort going to end in nothing?


    ¡°Zhe zhe, brat, if you weren¡¯t so arrogant, maybe you would have beaten the hundred-win challenge.¡±


    The red-robed Elder let out a breath. At this moment, Zhao Feng had no energy to fight anymore, and the last person was a monstrous existence on top of that.


    ¡°How regretful¡­.¡±


    A tall, black-clothed man appeared onstage. His eyes shone like stars, and he had a perfect face.


    ¡°Duan Tianjun!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s him! The person who won a hundred years ago!¡±


    A small amount of people recognized the man in black¡¯s identity.


    _So, it¡¯s him!_


    Some older experts remembered his stories.


    ¡°A hundred years ago, Duan Tianjun defeated the hundred-win challenge with the cultivation of the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.¡±


    ¡°Twenty years ago, Duan Tianjun broke through to the Great Origin Core Realm and defeated three Sovereign Lords, shocking an era.¡±


    Stories came from the crowd.


    At this point, Duan Tianjun became a light that stole away the gazes that were supposed to be on the protagonist of the challenge.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I saw your fight from before. If you were at your peak, we could still have a proper fight, but unfortunately¡­¡±


    Duan Tianjun shook his head. He admired Zhao Feng¡¯s battle-power. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhao Feng wanted to finish the hundred fights so quickly, he wouldn¡¯t have ended up in such an awkward situation.


    Even Duan Tianjun took four or five days¡¯ time to complete the hundred-win challenge a hundred years ago.


    Furthermore, the fighters then weren¡¯t this strong.


    ¡°Duan Tianjun, there¡¯s no more doubt about victory or defeat anymore.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled confidently. Even though his bloodline power and True Yuan had run out, he seemed to be full of confidence.


    Hearing that, everyone once again broke out into chaos.


    ¡°Could he have another hidden card? But he¡¯s run out of bloodline power and True Yuan.¡±


    The expression of the Elder in red froze. Even the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord revealed a thoughtful look.


    ¡°No bloodline power or True Yuan¡­.¡±


    According to the rules, special items such as Void God Protections couldn¡¯t be used.


    ¡°Wait, this Zhao Feng hasn¡¯t used much of his soul power!¡±


    The thoughts of the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord spun.


    Normal people would ignore the power of the soul, but the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord was a half-step King who was in the process of evolving his soul.


    Right at this moment, onstage:


    ¡°Eye of Illusion!¡±


    The hair of the youth blew in the wind as his left eye emitted a limitless coldness that gave off an extremely attractive power.


    Duan Tianjun¡¯s heart shook.


    Shua!


    In the next instant, his consciousness was distracted again.


    Onstage, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye looked toward Duan Tianjun, who was struggling and becoming full of cold sweat.


    Two breaths later:


    Plop!


    Duan Tianjun fell to the ground, exhausted. His face was filled with limitless humiliation and helplessness.


    Hua!


    The entire arena broke out into noise.


    ¡°What¡­!¡±


    Only then did the elder in red sense that Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was stronger and more condensed than normal Great Origin Core Realms.


    __


    _My soul has become much stronger and condensed after absorbing the aura from the Ancient Dream Realm, and it¡¯s even slightly stronger than this Duan Tianjun. If I fully use my God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, not many people at the Great Origin Core Realm can¡¯t block it._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s blue hair and left eye returned to black.


    ¡°His eye!¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s heart shook. He had only seen such powerful eye-bloodlines in the Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    ¡°That brat hid himself so deeply.¡±


    The elder in red couldn¡¯t help but take in a cold breath.


    No one would have imagined that Zhao Feng had hidden his most powerful eye-bloodline. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the last person was too strong, they might not have even gotten to see Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength.


    ¡°The miraculous winner of the hundred-win challenge ¨C Zhao Feng!¡±


    The judge returned to reality and announced in a loud voice.


    ¡°He didn¡¯t just beat the hundred-win challenge; he also defeated a previous winner of the hundred-win challenge!¡±


    ¡°To be able to win the hundred-win challenge in just two days¡¯ time. This is definitely a record in the Eternally Sealed Islands Zone that won¡¯t be broken in a thousand years.¡±


    Countless voices sounded in the arena.


    ¡°Exciting.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord stood up and was looking closely at Zhao Feng.

 616 Spiritual Palace Gold Token

    Completing the hundred-win challenge within two days would become a record in the Eternally Sealed Islands Zone that would be unable to be broken within a thousand years.


    Amongst the countless roars and cheering, countless gazes from experts landed onto Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This strength and potential. If I was able to draw him to my side¡­¡±


    There were many people from big forces and factions here.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s talent and strength were rare even among two-star and two-and-a-half-star sects.


    As for one-star clans, the strength Zhao Feng displayed already surpassed them.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s strength has already surpassed over 99% of the Sovereigns within the Azure Flower Continent. Only someone at the Patriarch¡¯s level could¡­¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl had a solemn attitude. Facing Zhao Feng, who was getting stronger by the day, its attitude was starting to change.


    Right now, it wasn¡¯t even thinking about how to go against Zhao Feng anymore. Instead, it was focusing on how to gain Zhao Feng¡¯s trust and continue working for him.


    Inside the arena, some were happy, others weren¡¯t.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that kid would be able to complete the hundred-win challenge.¡±


    ¡°Dammit, I bet a dozen thousand high-grade Primal Crystal Stones on 90 wins.¡±


    Those that gambled were full of regret. There weren¡¯t many that dared to put money on a hundred-wins, and even if they did, they didn¡¯t wager very much.


    At the beginning stages of the hundred-win challenge, the ratio of return was one to thirty. On the second day, the ratio went down to one to ten, and after seventy wins, it went down to one to five.


    Zhao Feng had put a million high-grade Primal Crystal Stones on himself, which was comparable to a hundred million normal Primal Crystal Stones.


    According to the one to thirty ratio, Zhao Feng would receive a total of three billion normal Primal Crystal Stones.


    ¡°Hahahaha, three billion Primal Crystal Stones is enough to buy a normal one-star clan.¡±


    Zhao Feng was full of happiness.


    Even Li Yunya received some money. Earlier, he followed Zhao Feng and put a couple dozen thousand on him and was overjoyed by the 3000% return.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the Palace Lord will personally give you a reward soon.¡±


    The elder in red smiled and walked over with respect.


    Before the challenge, he tried everything to stop Zhao Feng, but now, Zhao Feng had won everyone¡¯s respect with his unparalleled battle-power.


    _On average, there¡¯s only one winner every century. What kind of reward will there be?_


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but become slightly excited.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng went to claim his reward in the esteemed guest stands.


    ¡°The future generation is prosperous.¡±


    The person who gave out the reward was the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord, and on his smiling face was praise.


    ¡°According to the rules, the winner of the hundred-win challenge will receive a mid-tier Earth-Grade weapon, a Spiritual Palace Gold Token, and a billion Primal Crystal Stones.¡±


    The elder in red said.


    _Spiritual Palace Gold Token._


    __


    _Mid-tier Earth-Grade weapon._


    __


    _One billion Primal Crystal Stones._


    Exclamations came from within the arena.


    ¡°The Spiritual Palace Gold Token represents an esteemed and noble guest of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, and the holder can stay in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace for free. On top of that, they will receive 40% off in the markets run by the officials within the Eternally Sealed Islands Zone.¡±


    Li Yunya couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. The Spiritual Palace Gold Token had many benefits, including the ability to stay in any Void Ocean Spiritual Palace for free and receiving the welcome of an esteemed guest.


    They would even get 40% off in the exchanges owned by the officials.


    In front of the crowd, Zhao Feng took the Spiritual Palace Gold Token. On it was a special carving representing the utmost and supreme glory of the hundred-win challenge.


    The mid-tier Earth-Grade weapon was also precious. One had to know that Earth-Grade weapons were extremely rare. Even some Sovereigns didn¡¯t have a single one.


    ¡°The mid-tier Earth-Grade weapon has the highest value of the three prizes.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed.


    Even the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s Nine Deadly Yin Bone was only close to the mid-tier Earth-Grade.


    ¡°This is the Earth-Grade weapon ¨C the Tyrannical Emperor¡¯s Hammer.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord gave all the prizes to Zhao Feng at once.


    The Spiritual Palace Gold Token, Tyrannical Emperor¡¯s Hammer, and a billion normal Primal Crystal Stones.


    Zhao Feng immediately gave his thanks.


    After receiving the rewards, the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord gave Zhao Feng a deep glance before disappearing.


    He went too fast. Zhao Feng wanted to say something, but it was too late already.


    He wanted to speak with the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord in private, but right now, there were too many forces and experts that wanted to meet Zhao Feng.


    After spending an entire half-day, Zhao Feng was finally able to walk out of the arena.


    ¡°Captain, you don¡¯t need to be in such a rush. The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord loves geniuses and will most likely summon you in private later.¡±


    Li Yunya smiled and said.


    After returning to the hotel, Zhao Feng sat down and recovered his Yuan Qi.


    ¡°I¡¯ve just broken through to the Small Origin Core Realm, and, although the quality of my Core Center is high, the quantity isn¡¯t enough¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng recalled his fights in the hundred-win challenge and started to think.


    The size of his Core Center was ten times smaller than normal Small Origin Core Realms, and there was a faint glow to it. That usually happened when a Core Center was about to turn into a Crystal Core, but Zhao Feng only just reached the Small Origin Core Realm.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng had fully recovered his Yuan Qi.


    His recovery was so quick because of his powerful bloodline, which was comparable to a few legendary bloodlines from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    He then started to organize his wealth. He temporarily gave the Spiritual Palace Gold Token and a couple billion Primal Crystal Stones to Loulan Zhishui and the skeletal Division Leader to use.


    With enough Primal Crystal Stones, the strength of the hundred cursed ghost-corpses and the sailors would rise quickly, and Zhao Feng placed a lot of importance on the hundred ghost-corpses.


    Right now, with the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s help, a small number of the cursed ghost-corpses had already reached the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    The next day, Zhao Feng entered the esteemed guest rooms of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace by using the Spiritual Palace Gold Token.


    Thinking back, Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin, the two from the Sacred Lands, had stayed in such rooms.


    Zhao Feng started to wait in the esteemed guest rooms.


    Three days later:


    ¡°Captain, the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord summoned Ye Moyu two days ago.¡±


    Li Yunya reported.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. He didn¡¯t understand; he completed the hundred-win challenge and surpassed Ye Moyu in every aspect.


    With the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s love for geniuses and sharp eyes, he should have summoned Zhao Feng first, but the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord did nothing else after summoning Ye Moyu.


    ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be like this¡­.¡±


    At the beginning, Li Yunya didn¡¯t understand either, but after thinking it through, he started to have his own guesses.


    ¡°Master, it doesn¡¯t matter what the reason is. With your status, you have the right to see the Palace Lord regardless.¡±


    Li Yunya suggested.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. I can¡¯t wait any longer. I¡¯ll go to the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord myself.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that he didn¡¯t have much time.


    Firstly, the Pursuit of Death was still ongoing.


    Secondly, once the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord entered seclusion, it was normal for someone at such a level to take a couple months or even half a year.


    He couldn¡¯t wait any longer.


    On that very day, Zhao Feng went to greet the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord in his palace.


    _Spiritual Palace Gold Token!_


    The hearts of the guards outside the palace shook and revealed respect.


    ¡°Quick, quick, quick! Go tell the Palace Lord!¡±


    Two of them recognized Zhao Feng as the miracle winner of the recent hundred-win challenge.


    A while later, news came of the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s agreement.


    All of this was expected. After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s battle-power was comparable to a Great Origin Core Realm, his bloodline power was close to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and he had the glory of the hundred-win challenge.


    Inside a quiet and calm garden of the palace:


    ¡°Hehe, I wonder what this Zhao Feng has to say.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord smiled with his hands behind his back. Next to him stood an elegant male ¨C Ye Moyu.


    Over the last few days, the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord had given a couple pointers to Ye Moyu, and Zhao Feng coming made Ye Moyu feel pressured.


    ¡°Palace Lord, why did you not summon Zhao Feng? He surpasses me in every aspect.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s eyes twinkled as he said in a low tone, ¡°If I¡¯m correct, this Zhao Feng should have a complicated background; he probably comes from a big family with at least a few Void God Realm Elders¡­.¡±


    Hearing that, Ye Moyu understood.


    That¡¯s right. If one didn¡¯t have a strong force or expert behind them, it was hard for someone to achieve so much at such a young age.


    _If Zhao Feng has a big force behind him, then it would be hard for the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord to use him._


    Ye Moyu understood. No wonder the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord wasn¡¯t very welcoming toward Zhao Feng. Simply put, Zhao Feng¡¯s potential was actually _too_ high, and this measly Void Ocean Spiritual Palace wasn¡¯t enough to contain a dragon like him.


    _This Zhao Feng has a faint Void God Realm intent on him. It¡¯s obviously a protection by an Elder¡­._


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord murmured in his heart. Being a half-step Void God Realm, he could faintly sense Zhao Feng¡¯s soul aura.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure soon entered the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s sight, and Ye Moyu retreated.


    ¡°Greetings, Palace Lord.¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely respectful toward the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.


    _Not arrogant nor in a rush. That state of heart is hard to obtain._


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord secretly nodded his head. Zhao Feng could be said to be a perfect genius in every aspect, and he could be compared with those from the Sacred Lands.


    After sitting down, Zhao Feng casually talked with the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.


    ¡°Palace Lord, I need your help. If Palace Lord is willing to help, I will remember it and repay it back several times later in the future.¡±


    Zhao Feng soon got to the topic.


    ¡°Oh? What does a genius that won the hundred-win challenge need help with?¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord smiled and wasn¡¯t surprised. Being a Palace Lord of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, he had a lot of power, so there were many people who came to him for help.


    Sometimes, even Void God Realm experts would find him.


    ¡°¡­there is also the Spiritual Zone Teleportation array within the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng summarized why he came, and the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord understood instantly.


    It seemed like this Zhao Feng wanted to go to the True Martial Sacred Lands, and the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array would save him a lot of time.


    ¡°You should know that the Zone Teleportation Array isn¡¯t open to the public, and the place you¡¯re asking to go is the True Martial Sacred Lands. The Sacred Lands are closed off from the outside world and can¡¯t be easily entered.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, and he seemed to be troubled.


    Zhao Feng waited uneasily. If he went by ship, it would take him at least five or six years, and he would need to constantly face the Pursuit of Death along the way.


    After thinking for a while, the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord spoke, ¡°Zhao Feng, you aren¡¯t a member of the Sacred Lands, and you have an unknown background. If I go against the rules and help you, it¡¯ll be a big risk for me as well.¡±

 617 Success

    ¡°¡­if I go against the rules and help you, it¡¯ll be a big risk for me as well.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s attitude was clear.


    Although Zhao Feng was prepared for this result, his heart still felt cold, and he was somewhat disappointed.


    ¡°Is there no way at all?¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t give up.


    ¡°There¡¯s basically no way at all. Spiritual Sacred Lands are in separate dimensions, so they can only be entered from the specific entrances or by using the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array, but both options have experts of the Sacred Lands guarding. It¡¯s almost impossible to enter.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord said confidently. Being a Void Ocean Palace Lord, he came from the Spiritual Sacred Lands, so he knew the rules extremely well.


    Hearing up to there, Zhao Feng understood what the problem was. The most difficult part was the restriction against outsiders.


    In reality, it wasn¡¯t very hard or risky for the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord to send Zhao Feng to a Void Ocean Spiritual Palace close to the True Martial Sacred Land, but a Spiritual Sacred Land was a sacred land of cultivation that couldn¡¯t be compared to normal island zones.


    Only there were there three-star forces, and all the precious and rare resources were obviously restricted to members only.


    ¡°Unless you were able to become a member of the Sacred Lands, but you¡¯d have to enter the True Martial Sacred Land first to do that.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord couldn¡¯t help but shake his head, and Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    He couldn¡¯t help but think that, if he couldn¡¯t enter the Spiritual Sacred Land, then the next best alternative would be to go to the nearest Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    ¡°You have the Spiritual Palace Gold Token, so if you¡¯re willing to pay a large amount of Primal Crystal Stones for the array, I can send you to the Spiritual Palace closest to the Sacred Land.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord could agree to that much, and Zhao Feng started to think.


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord awaited Zhao Feng¡¯s answer with a faint smile, and he was curious as to why Zhao Feng wanted to enter the Sacred Land in such a hurry. With Zhao Feng¡¯s talent, he should be able to easily enter the Spiritual Sacred Lands within a few years¡¯ time by going the regular way.


    ¡°Senior, can I ask you about someone?¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly asked. The reason he was going to the True Martial Sacred Lands was to find one person.


    ¡°Who is it? I¡¯ve stayed in the Spiritual Sacred Lands for a couple hundred years, so I know most of the famous people.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord was confident.


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath as the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s words rang in his mind:


    _¡°Zhao Feng, go to the True Martial Sacred Land and find someone called Duanmu Qing with my Purple Saint Token, but I don¡¯t know if that person is still alive or not. If he is, then he¡¯ll definitely help you. He can be trusted.¡±_


    ¡°Does Senior know someone called Duanmu Qing?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Duanmu Qing? Duanmu¡­ could it be¡­?¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    _Duanmu Qing!_


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s expression underwent obvious changes.


    ¡°Could it be that you¡¯re related to Duanmu Qing!?¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord was excited as he asked in an urgent tone. It was obvious that the name Duanmu Qing put the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord into a state of shock.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment before answering, ¡°Senior Duanmu Qing is a friend of my ancestor, but my ancestor is close to dying and told me to find him in the True Martial Sacred Land.¡±


    Hearing that, the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord looked at Zhao Feng in a different light.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if what you¡¯re saying is true, I will take the risk and help you find Duanmu Qing.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s words took a twist.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but feel weird. The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s change was too fast.


    Just a moment ago, the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord didn¡¯t want to risk helping Zhao Feng, but after hearing the name Duanmu Qing, he was willing to help. It was incredible.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡±


    Zhao Feng obviously wouldn¡¯t decline it and immediately thanked him.


    After chatting for a while longer:


    ¡°Zhao Feng, go back and rest. I need to get in touch with a few friends in order to do this.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s tone was much friendlier.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but murmur after returning to his place, ¡°Looks like that Duanmu Qing is still alive and has a pretty high status in the Sacred Lands.¡±


    This was obviously good news for him.


    In the time afterward, Zhao Feng started to cultivate as he waited for news.


    Right now, his main focus was to strengthen the foundation of his Core Center.


    The atmosphere of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace was much better than normal island zones, and it was beneficial for cultivation.


    Using the Spiritual Palace Gold Token, he bought Wind and Lightning elemental resources at better rates from the officials.


    In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation speed became faster and faster.


    The small Core Center that was the size of a yellow bean inside his dantian had expanded by a small circle.


    There was no bottleneck for him to reach the Great Origin Core Realm. All he needed was time before his state of existence, body, and soul all reached the Great Origin Core Realm level.


    Zhao Feng had also entered the Ancient Dream Realm twice in the last half a month, and he mainly absorbed the aura into his soul. However, when his soul reached the Great Origin Core Realm, the effect started to decrease, while the progress of Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence and body was already as slow as a turtle.


    As for the heart blood essence, it was no longer of any use to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°My state of existence has reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm, but because my soul still hasn¡¯t reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm, there¡¯s still a bit of effect.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to plan. If he was just going to purely absorb the Ancient Dream Realm aura, the effects later on could be ignored.


    This meant that he needed to set his sights on the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Seventy-five breaths¡­ eighty breaths¡­ eighty-five breaths¡­ ninety breaths¡­.


    Zhao Feng stood in the Ancient Dream Realm, and his record had reached ninety breaths, closing in on his goal of a hundred breaths.


    Zhao Feng tried to take a step, but the pressure instantly doubled.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and returned to reality.


    This time, Zhao Feng still had a bit of aura left within his body.


    Shua!


    With a swipe of his hand, a cursed ghost-corpse appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Go.¡±


    Zhao Feng controlled a wisp of Ancient Dream Realm aura and merged it with the cursed ghost-corpse¡¯s body.


    After absorbing so much Ancient Dream Realm aura, Zhao Feng could control it better. When the cursed ghost-corpse absorbed this wisp of Ancient Dream Realm aura, something seemed to happen to it.


    Zhao Feng inspected it closely.


    ¡°Hmm? The ghost-corpse¡¯s body seems to have become stronger, and the power of the curse and the air of Death and Yin is closer to their origin¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng concluded.


    The aura of the Ancient Dream Realm seemed to have an effect on anything and everything, regardless of the element. The effect it had on the cursed ghost-corpse was similar to the effect it had on Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Now that the aura¡¯s effect on me is miniscule, I¡¯ll merge a wisp of Ancient Dream Realm aura into every cursed ghost-corpse.¡±


    Zhao Feng became busy over the next few days, and because he could stay in the Ancient Dream Realm for longer, he could bring out more aura.


    Four to five days later, every cursed ghost-corpse had successfully absorbed a wisp of Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    Within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, the skeletal Division Leader saw the changes in every cursed ghost-corpse and was stunned.


    ¡°The strength and potential of all these cursed ghost-corpses have increased. In the past, they could only be strengthened to the half-step Origin Core Realm, but the potential they have now has increased greatly.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader obviously knew the cursed ghost-corpses better, and it knew more about the changes of the cursed ghost-corpses than Zhao Feng did.


    Ten days later, the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord sent news to Zhao Feng for him to come over.


    ¡°Senior, what¡¯s the situation?¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly impatient.


    The next moment might be able to change his fate, just like when he met Lord Guanjun and entered the true world of cultivation.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the plan¡¯s complete. I can help you enter the True Martial Sacred Land soon.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord had a bright smile.


    _Great!_


    Zhao Feng revealed a look of overwhelming joy on his face.


    ¡°This is a guest token from the Sacred Lands, and it¡¯s extremely hard to get. I obtained it after a lot of effort.¡±


    A guest token appeared in the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s hand. The token was as pure as jade and had golden streaks across it. There was one word written on it: Guest.


    ¡°A guest token?¡±


    Zhao Feng could guess what it meant.


    ¡°This guest token can let non-members of the Sacred Lands enter the True Martial Sacred Land for a short while, but it has restrictions¡­.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord explained.


    A guest token. Zhao Feng took the guest token and saw that the material was comparable to the Purple Saint Token.


    ¡°This token has a time restriction; it can only let you stay in the True Martial Sacred Lands for ten days.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord warned.


    ¡°Ten days? That¡¯s a bit short¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured as he put away the guest token.


    ¡°The time is quite short. Success and failure depends on your actions in the ten days¡¯ time, and there¡¯s a certain amount of risk involved.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord didn¡¯t disagree.


    He had spent a lot of effort just to obtain this ten-day guest token.


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord then gave the specific details.


    ¡°Firstly, it¡¯s impossible for me to send you straight to the Spiritual Sacred Lands from here because you¡¯re a guest and not a member of the Sacred Lands. Even if I send you over, there¡¯s still going to be experts guarding the other side.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord first declined that train of thought.


    ¡°The first step is to send you to the Void Ocean Spirit Palace nearest to the Sacred Land.


    ¡°The second step is that you must enter the Sacred Land with another sect, and your guest token comes from that sect.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord soon told him the plan and gave him the specific details.


    ¡°Although it¡¯s a bit troublesome, using the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array already saves me several years¡¯ time.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head after knowing everything.

 618 True Martial Islands Zone

    After remembering every detail, Zhao Feng left the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s palace.


    He needed time to clear up some problems first before using the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array. Zhao Feng and the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord decided to use it three days later.


    After returning to the place they were staying, Zhao Feng immediately summoned Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and company to discuss.


    ¡°I will take you all to the island zone where the True Martial Sacred Land is located three days later.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    Hearing that, Li Yunya and Loulan Zhishui both revealed joyful expressions. The skeletal Division Leader within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl was also excited.


    The Spiritual Sacred Lands were at the center of the ocean, and they controlled hundreds of island zones. They even had legendary three-star forces.


    Of course, the first step was to take everyone near the Sacred Land. After that, Zhao Feng needed to enter the True Martial Sacred Land alone because there was only one guest token.


    Hearing that, Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and company were somewhat disappointed. Normal people weren¡¯t allowed in the Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly, ¡°Relax, the True Martial Sacred Land isn¡¯t my final destination, but I will stay in the Sacred Land for a while and try to get you all in.¡±


    Li Yunya couldn¡¯t help but ponder. Zhao Feng¡¯s goal was the True Martial Sacred Land, and he actually managed to persuade the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord to help. That meant that he must have some sort of background.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng¡¯s final destination made Li Yunya and Loulan Zhishui curious.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng and the sailors were organized and gathered in front of an ancient hall.


    This hall was heavily guarded, and it had four or five Sovereign Lords. Zhao Feng could even feel a faint aura of a half-step Void God Realm, and it wasn¡¯t coming from the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.


    ¡°The Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array has a half-step Void God Realm and many experts guarding it.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. On top of all that, the hall itself had a killing array that could easily slay someone at the Origin Core Realm.


    Furthermore, the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s palace was extremely close to the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array. Even those at the Void God Realm would need to think it through if they wanted to enter by force.


    An old array with a green carving of a dragon at the center appeared in sight.


    Even Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye found it hard to fully inspect the arrays here because they contained the Laws of Space and, to a certain degree, had exceeded 3 dimensions.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was powerful, it wasn¡¯t inherently related to Space.


    ¡°It¡¯ll cost roughly eight peak grade Primal Crystal Stones to send you all to the True Martial Islands Zone.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord took out eight unique Primal Crystal Stones with a pained expression.


    These peak grade Primal Crystal Stones were perfect. They radiated a pure Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    _Peak grade Primal Crystal Stones._


    Everyone present was shocked.


    ¡°Peak grade Primal Crystal Stones are the top Primal Crystal Stones in the Fan Universe.¡±


    ¡°Apparently, peak grade Primal Crystal Stones can be exchanged for a million high-grade Primal Crystal Stones each, but they¡¯re actually sold for even more.¡±


    Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and the sailors were all stunned.


    None of them had seen peak grade Primal Crystal Stones before.


    One had to know that a high-grade Primal Crystal Stone was already worth a million normal Primal Crystal Stones.


    Primal Crystal Stones were split into substandard, low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and they were each worth a one-hundred-fold difference than the previous.


    However, a peak grade Primal Crystal Stone was worth one million high-grade Primal Crystal Stones. This was because peak grade Primal Crystal Stones were rare to the point of being almost extinct.


    ¡°There¡¯s no other way. Only the power of peak grade Primal Crystal Stones can open the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array. Apparently, in the Sacred Lands, the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Arrays there use Divine Crystals.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord sighed and, while he spoke, put the eight peak grade Primal Crystal Stones into the green dragon carving array.


    _Divine Crystal?_


    The hearts of Zhao Feng and company shook. There was something that surpassed peak grade Primal Crystal Stones? Divine Crystals?


    It seemed like, being a half-step Void God Realm from the Sacred Lands, his knowledge exceeded others.


    ¡°Hehe, Divine Crystals come from the Ancient Era and cannot be created nowadays. Therefore, any Divine Crystal is invaluable. Even Void God Realm Kings and Emperors can¡¯t absorb the divine power from Divine Crystals.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord smiled.


    The Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array was soon set up.


    Weng~~


    A shining white light with countless silver array lines extended across the stage.


    One also needed spatial array masters to open the array.


    ¡°It¡¯s done.¡±


    The spatial array master said faintly.


    Before they left, Zhao Feng wanted to give the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord high-grade Primal Crystal Stones equivalent to the worth of the peak grade Primal Crystal Stones.


    He had bet on himself back in the arena, and his one million high-grade Primal Crystal Stones had been flipped thirty-fold.


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord shook his head with a smile. With his wealth, he didn¡¯t need it.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng gave a deep glance toward the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord. He knew that he owed the Lord quite a bit.


    Weng~~


    A strong surge of a spatial disturbance covered the array.


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord sent Zhao Feng and company away with his eyes.


    ¡°Using all your connections to let this brat into the Sacred Lands¡­ is it worth it?¡±


    The spatial array master spoke.


    ¡°With his talent and potential, and if he really has a connection with Duanmu Qing, it¡¯ll be worth it.¡±


    The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord said.


    ¡°Duanmu Qing? Could it be that person from the Mystic True Martial Clan?¡±


    The spatial array master¡¯s heart shook, and he couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath.


    At the same time, in a part of the limitless ocean extremely far away.


    Weng~


    More than a dozen figures appeared on an ancient array stand.


    This was Zhao Feng and company.


    The second they appeared, Loulan Zhishui and the sailors felt uncomfortable and almost fell to the ground.


    The Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array moved them through space, so balance was easily lost.


    Even Li Yunya felt slightly uncomfortable.


    ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel too bad, mainly because his state of existence and body had both reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm and his bloodline power was almost at the Ten Thousand Ancient Races level.


    After feeling better, everyone started to inspect their surroundings.


    They all couldn¡¯t help but take in cold breaths. They were in a small castle that occasionally gave off spatial disturbances.


    ¡°One, two, three¡­ eight!¡±


    Zhao Feng counted that there were eight Spiritual Zone Teleportation Arrays, and the guards here were all at least Sovereign Lords. There were even seven or eight half-step Void God Realms.


    Zhao Feng could even faintly feel the existence of a Void God Realm.


    ¡°This is the True Martial Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, take out your recommendation items.¡±


    A half-step Void God Realm seemed to cause the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to freeze wherever he looked, and everyone felt unable to breathe.


    Loulan Zhishui and company felt as if their souls had been restrained, and they didn¡¯t dare to lie or go against him at all.


    ¡°Guest token, the Spiritual Palace Gold Token, and token from the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and took out many items.


    The half-step Void God Realm paused for a moment.


    ¡°Hehe, so it¡¯s the friend of the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.¡±


    A white-bearded old man who was on guard nearby instantly appeared.


    ¡°Oh? Old Man Li, so this is your guest of the Golden Mountain Sect?¡±


    The guarding half-step Void God Realm smiled as he let Zhao Feng and company pass.


    ¡°You are Zhao Feng? I¡¯ve been waiting here for a while.¡±


    The white-bearded old man inspected Zhao Feng with a smile.


    ¡°Are you Elder Li?¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord told him before they left.


    Only by passing through every step and stage would Zhao Feng be able to enter the True Martial Sacred Land.


    ¡°That¡¯s me, but you can call me Old Li.¡±


    The white-bearded old man was extremely kind as he led Zhao Feng and company toward the castle.


    Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and company were uneasy. The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace outside the castle was the one from the True Martial Islands Zone, and it was ten times bigger than the one from the Eternally Sealed Islands Zone or the Thousand Flowing Islands Zone.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Sovereigns and Sovereign Lords could be seen everywhere. Zhao Feng could even sense the aura of Void God Realms.


    ¡°My lord, what is this place?¡±


    Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and company were full of fear.


    ¡°Why is the difference so big?¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned.


    The white-bearded Old Li smiled as he saw the look of shock on their faces, ¡°This is the True Martial Islands Zone, and everyone is here to compete for the right to enter the Spiritual Sacred Land.¡±


    _True Martial Islands Zone!_


    Zhao Feng and company seemed to realize that this island zone was different from the others.


    ¡°The True Martial Islands Zone is the strongest island zone around, and there are about one- to two-hundred two-star sects, with many of them reaching the peak of two stars.¡±


    Old Li sighed.


    __


    _A hundred to two-hundred two-star sects?_


    The mouths of Zhao Feng and company dropped open.


    ¡°There are thirty-three slots for two-star sects in the Spiritual Sacred Land, excluding the three-star sects. Over the years, these sects have fought and competed with one another. After all, only in the Sacred Land can two-star sects become three-star sects.¡±


    Old Li summarized the situation.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng and company understood.


    Because the Spiritual Sacred Land was here, the True Martial Islands Zone was the center of everything, as well as the place where all the sects fought with each other.


    All of it was to compete for the chance to enter the Spiritual Sacred Land.


    Old Li took Zhao Feng and company to a house within the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    ¡°This is the Golden Mountain Sect¡¯s waiting point within the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. The Golden Mountain Sect is one of the thirty-three sects that are able to enter the Spiritual Sacred Land.¡±


    Old Li said pridefully.


    _A sect that can enter the Spiritual Sacred Land?_


    Li Yunya and company were filled with admiration and respect.


    Sects that were able to enter the Spiritual Sacred Lands were definitely elites amongst two-star sects, and they were countless times stronger than the likes of Moon Demon Palace, Black Cliff Palace, and company.


    Zhao Feng felt that the strongest auras here came from a couple half-step Void God Realms. The white-bearded Old Li was one of them.


    ¡°The total amount of people we can send in is three thousand. Most of our elites are there, and because we¡¯ve had some losses due to some clashes in the Sacred Land, we¡¯ll be sending a couple more experts and disciples in.¡±

 619 Breaking Past a Hundred Breaths

    Zhao Feng kind of understood the Golden Mountain Sect¡¯s situation through Old Li¡¯s explaining.


    Most of the elites of the Golden Mountain Sect were in the True Martial Sacred Land, and the other forces nearby had gathered in the True Martial Islands Zone


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we will be sending some experts and geniuses into the True Martial Sacred Land two months later. Because you have a guest token, you can come with us.¡±


    Old Li said.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head, and Li Yunya and Loulan Zhishui had envious expressions.


    Later that day, Old Li took Zhao Feng and company into the Golden Mountain Sect¡¯s stronghold.


    Their treatment wasn¡¯t bad; they were given a large house.


    One had to know that there were many two-star sects here, and every inch of land was incredibly valuable.


    Even the Golden Mountain Sect had a limited area.


    ¡°Elder Li, what¡¯s that brat¡¯s history? Is it enough to waste a precious guest token of our sect? Usually only those at the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm or unique masters that have been invited to our sect have that right.¡±


    A Great Origin Core Realm male said angrily.


    In the Golden Mountain Sect, normal Sovereign Lords were only Outer Elders, while true Elders with actual power were like Old Li ¨C they had reached the half-step Void God Realm at the least.


    ¡°That brat¡¯s talent is considered not bad even in a Sacred Land. We can take him in as our disciple¡­.¡±


    Another Elder said, but Old Li shook his head, ¡°It¡¯s just a ten-day guest token. Furthermore, if that brat can use it well, its value for the Golden Mountain Sect is immeasurable.¡±


    Old Li didn¡¯t want to talk much about Zhao Feng¡¯s background.


    How could he not see Zhao Feng¡¯s potential and talent? However, true prodigies in the Spiritual Sacred Lands usually came from three-star forces.


    In a room within the house, Zhao Feng sat down and cultivated.


    Over the past few days, he had been strengthening and consolidating his Core Center.


    With his current state of existence, body, and soul, his cultivation was increasing rapidly.


    As long as he could raise the quantity of the Core Center, Zhao Feng would have no bottleneck during the Small Origin Core Realm.


    Large amounts of resources with the Wind and Lightning elements were quickly expended. Luckily, he was extremely wealthy after earning so much in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    Using that help, Zhao Feng¡¯s Core Center was starting to strengthen.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t give up on exploring the Ancient Dream Realm. Every couple of days, he would enter the Ancient Dream Realm and absorb the aura, mainly into his eye.


    He could now last more than ninety breaths in the Ancient Dream Realm, and the amount of aura he could absorb was more than ten times greater than the amount he could at the beginning.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline power was increasing by leaps and bounds every day.


    A month passed. Zhao Feng¡¯s soul-strength was now comparable to the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm, and it was more condensed than before.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the lake had expanded to sixty yards.


    ¡°When the lake expands past a hundred yards, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye will undergo another change.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a sense of summoning from somewhere.


    At this moment in time, the effect of the Ancient Dream Realm aura on his soul was greatly diminished. Zhao Feng estimated that, the closer he got to the Void God Realm, the less of an effect the Ancient Dream Realm aura would have until it eventually would have no effect at all.


    Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm once more.


    As his state of existence and soul both became stronger, Zhao Feng could last longer in the dimension.


    ¡°Seventy breaths¡­ eight breaths¡­ ninety breaths¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng was able to easily last up to ninety breaths.


    Ninety-five breaths¡­ ninety-six breaths¡­ ninety-seven breaths¡­.


    Finally, when he reached ninety-seven breaths, the pressure Zhao Feng received became so great that he barely managed to take a step before exiting the Ancient Dream Realm.


    It was like holding your breath underwater: the longer one lasted, the greater the pressure on your lungs.


    ¡°Ninety-seven breaths. My goal of a hundred breaths is within sight.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t injured this time since he didn¡¯t go all out. He entered this time mainly because he wanted to consolidate his foundation.


    Over the last month, he used a large amount of precious resources, and his Core Center was approaching the middle stages of the Small Origin Core Realm.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng¡¯s Core Center wasn¡¯t even as big as normal Small Origin Core Realms, but the strength of his True Yuan was close to a late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    On the fortieth day after arriving in the True Martial Islands Zone, Zhao Feng was about to enter the Ancient Dream Realm once again and break through the hundred-breaths barrier.


    ¡°Little Friend Zhao Feng.¡±


    Old Li¡¯s voice sounded.


    This was the first time he had come to find Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Old Li.¡±


    Zhao Feng came out and greeted the white-bearded Old Li.


    Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t gone into deep seclusion after arriving here because he knew that he would be entering the True Martial Sacred Land soon.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this; there¡¯s still twenty days left till the Golden Mountain Sect sends in another group into the Sacred Land, which includes about ten of our geniuses.¡±


    Old Li smiled and said.


    After saying that, he raised his hand.


    Nine geniuses of the Golden Mountain Sect stood behind him. To be able to enter the Sacred Land meant that they had good potential.


    ¡°The lowest cultivation amongst them is the peak True Lord Rank. Most are at the half-step Origin Core Realm, and there¡¯s also two Small Origin Core Realms.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked over them.


    The talent and potential of these geniuses surpassed the Overwhelming Prodigies from the Azure Flower Continent.


    The age of some half-step Origin Core Realms didn¡¯t exceed fifty, and the two early-stage Small Origin Core Realms weren¡¯t older than fifty years.


    As long as one didn¡¯t exceed the age of fifty, they were usually still considered part of the younger generation. This was because a True Lord Rank could live up to three hundred years, and an Origin Core Realm could live for several hundred years.


    ¡°Little Friend Zhao, these are all juniors of the sect. You can give them a couple pointers before going to the Sacred Land.¡±


    Old Li smiled and said.


    ¡°You juniors should interact with Little Friend Zhao when you have time.¡±


    At the same time, he gave a signal with his eyes toward the geniuses of the Golden Mountain Sect.


    ¡°Yes, Elder.¡±


    The nine geniuses of the Golden Mountain Sect replied at once.


    They didn¡¯t dare to go against the order of an Elder who had actual power and status. Furthermore, most of them admired and respected Zhao Feng anyway because of how high his cultivation was given his age.


    It wasn¡¯t hard for Zhao Feng to guess Old Li¡¯s intentions; he wanted one or two to form a relationship with Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, which expert is your master?¡±


    ¡°Breaking through to the Origin Core Realm at such a young age¡­ only Senior Martial Brother Yin who¡¯s entered the Sacred Land can be compared to you.¡±


    The nine geniuses were all curious about Zhao Feng¡¯s identity.


    Amongst them, there was one male and one female who were at the Origin Core Realm.


    The male was skinny while the female was pretty and dressed in white.


    The two inspected Zhao Feng with twinkling eyes, and although they were surprised at Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation given how young he was, they didn¡¯t think much about it. They were at the Origin Core Realm too, so they were at the same level.


    Zhao Feng started to interact with these geniuses with interest. After all, all of them came from the peak two-star sect that was the Golden Mountain Sect, and their inheritances and techniques surpassed normal two-star sects.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s soul-strength and comprehension, he learned a lot from them.


    After that, Zhao Feng was to spar with the nine.


    The Golden Mountain Sect had a special martial arts field that could restrict the power of people at the Origin Core Realm from leaking out.


    All the seniors of the Golden Mountain Sect watched in secret.


    A few half-step Origin Core Realms asked Zhao Feng to spar with them first.


    ¡°You guys, go test his strength.¡±


    The skinny male at the Origin Core Realm said in secret.


    It was obvious that those at the half-step Origin Core Realm were not a match for Zhao Feng at all, and they all fell down with just a touch.


    The half-step Origin Core Realms didn¡¯t even get to touch Zhao Feng¡¯s clothes.


    ¡°What speed!¡±


    The skinny male and white-clothed beauty looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly. Only these two could barely manage to see how Zhao Feng moved.


    After defeating the half-step Origin Core Realms, Zhao Feng found that it was getting boring, so he suggested a fight against the skinny male and beauty in white together.


    Hearing that, the geniuses from the Golden Mountain Sect felt humiliated. The skinny male and beauty in white both let out a breath, but they were angry at the same time.


    Facing Zhao Feng¡¯s speed, their chances of winning in a one-on-one fight were miniscule.


    The result of the fight surprised everyone.


    Plop! Plop!


    The two Origin Core Realm geniuses were instantly defeated by Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    A blur of purple lightning and wind swept across the two.


    ¡°Purple Destruction Wind Lightning? Could it be the inheritance of that Wind Lightning Emperor from ten thousand years ago?¡±


    The Elders of the Golden Mountain Sect clicked their tongues.


    The strength that Zhao Feng displayed was too great. There probably weren¡¯t many people under the Great Origin Core Realm that were his match.


    ¡°Those that are related to Duanmu Qing are indeed not simple.¡±


    Old Li sighed, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel regretful.


    The difference between Zhao Feng and the geniuses from the Golden Mountain Sect was just too big. That meant that his intentions had failed. The two groups weren¡¯t even on the same level, so it would be hard for them to form any kind of friendship.


    While the geniuses from the Golden Mountain Sect felt humiliated, they all respected Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Even Senior Martial Brother Yin, the strongest genius of our sect, might not be his match.¡±


    The beauty in white looked toward Zhao Feng with admiration.


    For the next couple of days, because the difference between the two sides was too big, there weren¡¯t many interactions between Zhao Feng and these geniuses.


    The beauty in white tried to go out on a date with Zhao Feng once or twice but always ended in failure. Zhao Feng was focused on cultivation. However, the image of a quiet, elegant, and goddess-like female with a pouting expression would occasionally appear in his mind.


    Liu Qinxin wore white in the past as well, and as time passed, the memory of her became clearer.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as a rare sign of intense emotion appeared in his eyes.


    With a thought, he appeared in the Ancient Dream Realm once more.


    Ten breaths¡­ thirty breaths¡­ sixty breaths¡­ ninety breaths.


    The pressure Zhao Feng felt became greater after ninety breaths.


    Ninety-five breaths¡­ ninety-seven breaths¡­ ninety-nine breaths.


    ¡°A hundred breaths.¡±


    Zhao Feng was like a stone sculpture that had existed for thousands of years ingrained into the ground of this desolate land.

 620 Another Jump

    ¡°A hundred breaths!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s feet seemed to root themselves into the ground, and he felt as if the pressure on his soul decreased.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng felt his body suddenly become lighter, as if his compatibility with the Ancient Dream Realm had increased.


    It was like an animal evolving. Oceanic beasts would sometimes adapt to land or other new environments. This was the same; as Zhao Feng¡¯s body grew to contain more of the Ancient Dream Realm aura, his soul and body became stronger and started to adapt to this unique dimension.


    It was as if this piece of desolate land had accepted his aura to a certain degree.


    Being an ¡°outsider,¡± Zhao Feng faced great pressure and resistance from the heavens and the earth, but that all greatly decreased now.


    ¡°I can now stand easily in this land.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was filled with joy. This meant that he could stay longer in the Ancient Dream Realm and absorb at least ten times more of the aura.


    A hundred breaths was a major breakthrough point.


    Zhao Feng then inspected the Ancient Dream Realm and tried to walk forward.


    He was currently in a desolated area, but he could see nearby trees and hear the screech of birds.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw a stream further away.


    This entire world seemed close to the origin of things, and it gave off an old, ancient feeling.


    Ta! Ta!


    Zhao Feng breathed in the aura as he managed to take a step. When he took this step, Zhao Feng felt as if the pressure from the heavens and the earth suddenly increased dramatically.


    One step¡­ two steps¡­ three steps.


    Zhao Feng felt it was extremely hard to take every step.


    A couple breaths later:


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng retreated from the Ancient Dream Realm, and his back was drenched with cold sweat.


    ¡°If I don¡¯t move, I can stay in the Ancient Dream Realm for a long time, but if I move, the pressure will increase by up to ten times and I won¡¯t be able to last more than ten breaths.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. No matter what, he had passed the major breakthrough point of one hundred breaths.


    From now on, he could absorb large quantities of Ancient Dream Realm aura and start to look around this weird dimension.


    How big was the Ancient Dream Realm? Were there any natives here?


    Of course, what Zhao Feng cared about most was whether there were any precious resources.


    One had to know that the aura alone was already so beneficial. It was hard to imagine how much value a proper resource or item would have.


    Inside the room, Zhao Feng cultivated quietly, and the Core Center within his body gradually became bigger.


    The amount and quality of Wind and Lightning elemental resources Zhao Feng could buy in this Void Ocean Spiritual Palace exceeded the other Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces.


    Using these items, Zhao Feng had no bottleneck, and his cultivation speed was extremely fast.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Core Center started to approach the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    He used a large amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura to condense the Core Center in his body, which now sparkled like a crystal.


    A Core Center turning into a crystal was the sign of breaking through to the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Ten to twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.


    The size of Zhao Feng¡¯s Core Center was now completely comparable to the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    On top of that, the Core Center had absorbed large quantities of Ancient Dream Realm aura, condensing and purifying his Wind Lightning.


    Although the size of his Core Center was comparable to the middle-stage of the Small Origin Core Realm, the quality and intent surpassed all those at the Small Origin Core Realm and could instead be compared to Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords.


    ¡°Middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm and almost full comprehension of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning.¡±


    Happiness appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Breaking past the hundred-breaths barrier had greatly increased his cultivation speed because he could now stay in the dimension for far longer and absorb so much more aura.


    Now, his state of existence and body had reached the limit of the Origin Core Realm, and his soul was strong even among the Great Origin Core Realm.


    It could be said that, in these ten to twenty days, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had increased by leaps and bounds.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath as he slowly concealed his aura and walked out of the room.


    ¡°Captain.¡±


    Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and the sailors all greeted Zhao Feng. As they looked at him, Zhao Feng¡¯s every action and movement exerted a strong pressure on them. It was like facing an ancient desolate beast. Their bodies and states of existence weren¡¯t on the same level.


    ¡°The aura from Captain is similar to Jiang Fan from the Sacred Lands.¡±


    Loulan Zhishui¡¯s bloodline started to tremble. She had only felt this feeling when facing Jiang Fan, who had the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    In reality, even Zhao Feng himself didn¡¯t know how strong his bloodline had become.


    ¡°Congratulations on Captain breaking through to the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s every breath and gaze contained pressure surpassing the Small Origin Core Realm.


    Within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, using the connection of the Dark Heart Seed, the skeletal Division Leader could feel that Zhao Feng¡¯s soul had become much stronger.


    The skeletal Division Leader also knew a thing or two about souls, but the aura from Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was like a mountain that it could only look up to.


    ¡°Master, over the past few days, half of the hundred cursed ghost-corpses have been strengthened to the half-step Origin Core Realm.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader reported.


    After the potential of the ghost-corpses were increased, the efficiency of strengthening them went up. What would¡¯ve taken half a year to complete was done in one or two months.


    ¡°Good, everything¡¯s going smoothly.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and looked over Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and the sailors.


    Zhao Feng decided to give the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship to the sailors and make them stay in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace was a peaceful land within the limitless ocean. Even those at the Void God Realm didn¡¯t dare to easily attack.


    On the second day, Zhao Feng gathered with those from the Golden Mountain Sect.


    ¡°This time, we will send in about three hundred people into the True Martial Sacred Land.¡±


    Old Li said.


    Several hundred people had gathered in an empty space in the Golden Mountain Sect, which included Old Li and two other half-step Void God Realms.


    Being a stranger, Zhao Feng obviously raised a lot of attention, and his cultivation at the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm also meant that he suppressed all these geniuses about to enter the Sacred Lands.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Old Li talked about the details before leading the group from the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    Hu~


    A large golden dragon-scaled ship was waiting outside. This limitless ocean ship was four to five times bigger than Zhao Feng¡¯s Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship. Its speed and ability surpassed the latter as well.


    ¡°This is the Golden Mountain Sect¡¯s Golden Dragon Scaled Ship and, apparently, it can kill Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords with a single charge.¡±


    The skinny male and pretty female stood together with Zhao Feng. They were full of respect toward Zhao Feng after sparring with him.


    Now that Zhao Feng had reached the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm, the two could only sigh in envy.


    Whoosh!


    The Golden Dragon Scaled Ship flew into the limitless ocean, and the aura radiating from it raised the attention of many experts and ships.


    ¡°We probably need to fly for two days before reaching the entrance of the True Martial Sacred Land.¡±


    The geniuses of the Golden Mountain Sect were filled with expectation and excitement.


    They would soon be able to enter the True Martial Sacred Land of their dreams.


    Only Old Li sighed secretly when his gaze scanned across these disciples. They probably didn¡¯t know how cruel and competitive the Sacred Land was.


    If the Golden Mountain Sect made any tiny mistake, it was likely they could be replaced by another peak two-star sect.


    On the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship, being a guest, Zhao Feng stayed in an elegant room. He sat down, but he didn¡¯t continue to cultivate. Instead, he tried to get used to his new strength.


    Half a day later, the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship had passed through two island zones already, and the color of the ocean was becoming darker and darker. There was also the occasional storm.


    Whirlpools formed across the limitless ocean, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here was chaotic.


    ¡°We¡¯re about to enter the Spiritual Sea.¡±


    The voice of a half-step Void God Realm from the Golden Mountain Sect sounded.


    _Spiritual Sea?_


    A map appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind, which pointed out the location of the Spiritual Sea.


    The True Martial Sacred Land was at the center of the Spiritual Sea, and the Spiritual Sea was at the center of the True Martial Islands Zone.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi around the Spiritual Sea was extremely chaotic and occasionally formed terrifying storms.


    ¡°No one is to leave the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship. Even normal Sovereigns won¡¯t be able to survive in the Spiritual Sea.¡±


    Old Li warned.


    Zhao Feng roughly sensed around, but he felt no live auras around the Spiritual Sea.


    If there wasn¡¯t a strong limitless ocean ship, even Sovereigns wouldn¡¯t be able to survive here.


    The speed of the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship decreased dramatically after entering the Spiritual Sea.


    Time passed slowly.


    The deeper in they went, the bigger the surge of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    By the end, even Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords wouldn¡¯t be able to survive more than a couple hours here.


    The quality of the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship surpassed the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship by far, and the power of the array on the surface was being dramatically drained.


    The Golden Dragon Scaled Ship was expending a large amount of Primal Crystal Stones every second, all of which were at least at the middle grade.


    ¡°The True Martial Sacred Land has thirty-six entrances. We¡¯re choosing the thirty-first one, and we will probably arrive at our destination within a couple hours.¡±


    Old Li smiled and said.


    _A couple hours._


    Most of the experts and geniuses on the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship hadn¡¯t been to the Sacred Land before, and they were all filled with excitement.


    ¡°True Martial Sacred Land.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath, and the Purple Saint Token appeared in his hand.


    Right at this moment, in Zhao Feng¡¯s soul, the aura of the Eye of Death suddenly sensed something, and a familiar and dangerous feeling started to spread across his soul.

 621 Death Soul Hand

    In a dark world among the Spiritual Sea, where the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi flowed chaotically:


    ¡°The target of the Pursuit of Death has appeared once more.¡±


    A figure wearing a black cloak and holding a Token of Death glanced toward a certain direction in the Spiritual Sea.


    His body was like light as he moved unharmed through the chaotic storm.


    Weng~~


    The Token of Death in the Death Guard¡¯s hand gave off a weird disturbance as it sent and received wisps of information.


    ¡°Unfortunately, the Yuan Qi here is too chaotic, so the news can¡¯t travel very far.¡±


    The Death Guard murmured.


    A while later, his Token of Death shook as it received some news.


    ¡°Very good.¡±


    A cold smile appeared on the Death Guard¡¯s face.


    Whoosh!


    A beam of dark light merged into the stormy and chaotic Spiritual Sea.


    At the same time, the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship was advancing forward within the Spiritual Sea.


    ¡°Is it here again?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes opened, and an arc of Destructive purple lightning flashed across his body.


    He got up and walked out of his room.


    There were still a couple hours till they truly arrived in the True Martial Sacred Land. He didn¡¯t expect to feel the aura from the Pursuit of Death here all of a sudden.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, and his expression became solemn.


    Staying here would mean death, but even if he left the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship, he might not be able to escape the Pursuit of Death¡¯s range anyway.


    ¡°I can¡¯t miss this chance to enter the True Martial Sacred Land.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts spun, but he made a decision quickly.


    Aside from not missing this chance, he believed that, being a peak two-star sect, the Golden Mountain Sect wasn¡¯t weak. There was a large number of experts currently on the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship.


    As time passed, the sensation of danger became stronger and closer. An hour later:


    Whoosh!


    Two or three dark figures flew through the air, and their aura of Death could be sensed by the experts aboard the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship as well now.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡±


    Old Li and another couple half-step Void God Realms roared.


    Zhao Feng stood on the deck and coldly looked at the figures of Death.


    ¡°Three Death Guards came this time.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes became sharp. The three auras were obviously stronger than the one he had defeated before.


    ¡°Guard Twenty-Five and Guard Nineteen, the target is onboard a two-star-sect ship.¡±


    The three Death Guards stopped as they approached the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship.


    The speaker was Guard Twenty-Eight.


    Compared to Guard Thirty-Three, these three Death Guards were, without a doubt, much stronger. In particular, Guard Nineteen¡¯s aura of Death was enough to make even those at the half-step Void God Realm feel uneasy.


    However, facing the two or three hundred experts aboard the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship, the three Death Guards were wary and didn¡¯t immediately charge over.


    ¡°Hmph, three Death Guard¡¯s aren¡¯t enough to fight against the entire Golden Dragon Scaled Ship.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    He wasn¡¯t worried anymore with the protection of the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed quite troublesome¡­ but no one can stop the will of Death.¡±


    Guard Nineteen said in a raspy tone.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three Death Guards communicated with each other before charging toward the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship.


    ¡°Who are you!?¡±


    There were three half-step Void God Realms aboard the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship, with Old Li as the leader.


    A loud explosion appeared within the soul dimension as three half-step Void God Realm intents passed across the limitless ocean, which caused even the chaotic Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to freeze.


    Facing these soul-shaking auras, the souls of all the Sovereigns were unable to move, but the three Death Guards weren¡¯t scared at all.


    ¡°Measly bugs.¡±


    Guard Nineteen snickered as an intent of Death pushed away the half-step Void God Realm intents away.


    Boom~~~~


    Their souls seemed to shake, and some of the elites on the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship below the Origin Core Realm immediately spat out blood and fainted.


    ¡°Death intent¡­ could it be the legendary Death Guards¡­?¡±


    The hearts of the three half-step Void God Realms from the Golden Mountain Sect shook.


    At this moment, everyone on the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship acted as if they were facing a powerful foe, and they opened the defensive arrays.


    The three half-step Void God Realms, and almost ten late-stage and peak stage Sovereign Lords floated above the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship.


    ¡°Guard Twenty-Eight, Guard Twenty-Five and I will stall these old bastards. You cultivate in the Ten Thousand Figure Chaos Technique, which is more suitable in chaotic situations, so you go capture that brat. If that brat is troublesome, then just go with the lowest requirement and cut off his head. That will also complete the mission.¡±


    Guard Nineteen said through Spiritual Sense.


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    The moment Guard Twenty-Eight replied, his figure split into ten, which then split into a hundred.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Hundreds and thousands of figures of Death instantly appeared. It was hard to determine which one was real or fake, and each of their auras were spread across the surroundings of the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡±


    The three half-step Void God Realms from the Golden Mountain Sect tried to stop them, but they found that it was hard to determine which one was the real body within a short amount of time. At the same time, the three half-step Void God Realms were also facing Guard Nineteen¡¯s attack.


    ¡°Death Soul Hand!¡±


    An air of Death surged from Guard Nineteen, and his body seemed to be covered by a mysterious light so that no one was able to see him clearly.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Three dark hands extended out from the darkness, and the moment the Death Soul Hand appeared, the souls of the three half-step Void God Realms shook.


    ¡°Not good, watch out~~~~!¡±


    Old Li roared, but the Death Soul Hand was a unique, soul restricting skill that instantly locked on to the souls of the three half-step Void God Realms.


    Wu~~


    The souls of all three half-step Void God Realms froze, and they became unable to breathe.


    In the next instant, the bodies of the three half-step Void God Realms were grasped by the three respective Death Soul Hands. They all started to struggle and contort in pain.


    ¡°Elder Li!¡±


    The others on the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship exclaimed.


    The strongest of the three ¨C Guard Nineteen ¨C used just one move to restrict the three half-step Void God Realms.


    ¡°Death Soul Hand? There¡¯s such a powerful skill that immediately captures the opponent¡¯s soul?¡±


    Zhao Feng took in a cold breath.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see more clearly than the others, so he managed to see that the souls of the three half-step Void God Realms were being grasped by the Death Soul Hands and were trying to fight back.


    If it were just one half-step Void God Realm, Guard Nineteen¡¯s Death Soul Hand would be able to take their entire soul straight away. However, Guard Nineteen was facing three at once.


    Despite that, his strength was heaven-defying.


    Of course, being half-step Void God Realms, their souls had also undergone a change. Their half-step Void God intents continued resisting.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    Guard Twenty-Five attacked and killed a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.


    ¡°Stop him together!¡±


    Almost ten late-stage and peak stage Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords reacted and teamed up against Guard Twenty-Five.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Guard Twenty-Five¡¯s battle-power was shocking as he fought against the Sovereign Lords.


    ¡°How did it end up like this¡­?¡±


    The bones of the Golden Mountain Sect experts went cold in disbelief.


    The strength of the three Death Guards was just too heaven-defying.


    Guard Nineteen suppressed three half-step Void God Realms by himself.


    Guard Twenty-Five fought against many Sovereign Lords.


    Then¡­ what about Guard Twenty-Eight?


    ¡°Arghh! Argh!¡±


    Hundreds and thousands of figures of Death jumped onto the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship, and screams sounded everywhere.


    The defensive array of the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship seemed to have no effect on Guard Twenty-Eight.


    ¡°Dammit!¡±


    The hearts of the three half-step Void God Realms dropped as they sensed what was happening below.


    Facing Guard Twenty-Eight, the remaining experts on the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship would be slaughtered.


    The top fighters ¨C the three half-step Void God Realms and near ten late-stage and peak stage Great Origin Core Realms ¨C were all detained by Guard Nineteen and Twenty-Five.


    Once Guard Twenty-Eight killed everyone and joined the battle, it would be enough to turn the tide.


    Guard Twenty-Eight easily killed the resistance but, unexpectedly, seemed to have only one target on the ship.


    ¡°Brat, if you don¡¯t let me capture you, I will take your head.¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight locked on to Zhao Feng and snickered coldly. He wasn¡¯t as dumb as Guard Thirty-Three who wanted to capture Zhao Feng alive no matter what and got killed by Zhao Feng instead.


    As long as Zhao Feng fought back, Guard Twenty-Eight would just kill him and take his head instead of capturing him alive. After all, Guard Nineteen and Guard Twenty-Five were facing a large amount of pressure.


    ¡°Quick! There¡¯s not much time left.¡±


    Guard Nineteen¡¯s voice sounded.


    ¡°The two-star sects that are able to enter the Sacred Land are extremely powerful, so it¡¯ll be very troublesome once a Void God Realm King arrives¡­.¡±


    Guard Twenty-Five said.


    Many people on the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship had already sent distress signals to the main headquarters of the Golden Mountain Sect within the True Martial Sacred Land.


    The three Death Guards didn¡¯t aim to kill everyone here, and they didn¡¯t care about who won or lost. They only had one goal, and that was to either kill or capture Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Dozens of figures with the same aura leapt toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Each of these figures have attacking abilities and different actions¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was circulated to its fullest.


    This was the first time he had seen such a monstrous doppelganger technique.


    The figures of Guard Twenty-Eight were similar to the Yin Shadow Doppelgangers from his Yin Shadow Cloak, but after entering the limitless ocean, the Yin Shadow Cloak¡¯s grade was too low and its effect was too weak to actually use anymore.


    Zhao Feng jumped up in fright after looking closely. The Yin Shadow Cloak he used before was similar to the cloaks of these Death Guards. It seemed as if the one he used in the past was only a replica of the ones that the Death Guards were wearing.


    Bam!


    As Zhao Feng¡¯s body was about to be enveloped by the doppelgangers:


    ¡°Purple Lightning Wind Ring!¡±


    Rings of shining Purple Destruction Wind Lightning radiating that terrifying aura of Destruction swept across everything in their path.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The figures were instantly shattered by the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning.


    ¡°The power of Destruction¡­ a power that¡¯s on the same level as the power of Death.¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight was slightly dazed, and his real body started to smoke after being hit by the Purple Lightning Wind Ring.

 622 Mega Void Space Eye Slash

    ¡°Purple Lightning Wind Ring!¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, and the rings of Purple Destruction Wind Lightning successfully countered Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s doppelgangers.


    If Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t reached the Origin Core Realm yet, this attack of his wouldn¡¯t be able to break through any of the doppelgangers because they all had a defense almost as strong as the Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°The power of Destruction¡­ a power that¡¯s on the same level as the power of Death.¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight obviously hadn¡¯t imagined that the intent of Zhao Feng¡¯s Purple Destruction Wind Lightning contained such a terrifying aura of Destruction that could make even him wary.


    The Fan Universe had eight Great God Eyes.


    Among them, there was the Divine Eye of Death and the Divine Eye of Destruction.


    From that, one could see that the power of Destruction contained within the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning was one of the most unique laws.


    Now that Zhao Feng had almost fully comprehended the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning, combined with its purification from absorbing a large amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura, its power surpassed the Wind Lightning Emperor when he was at the same cultivation.


    ¡°Scythe of Death!¡±


    A grim scythe radiating a cold light condensed in Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s hand, and the instant it appeared, everyone within a hundred miles felt their souls become cold. It was as if their souls had been exposed to the freezing cold as they were awaiting slaughter.


    Zhao Feng also felt a coldness and a dangerous sensation from his soul.


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s Scythe of Death was a skill similar to Guard Nineteen¡¯s Death Soul Hand in that it directly threatened the soul.


    ¡°Slice!¡±


    The Scythe of Death instantly locked on to Zhao Feng¡¯s soul.


    Shu~~~


    The Scythe of Death flashed through the air in a transparent line, and Zhao Feng¡¯s body and soul froze. It was as if his soul had been cut up.


    Shua!


    Without any chance of evasion, the Scythe of Death landed on Zhao Feng.


    At the very last instant:


    Bo~


    A ripple of water surrounded Zhao Feng¡¯s body as if he was in the ocean. Any attack from outside was like a stone sinking into the sea.


    Even the powerful Scythe of Death dimmed by more than half when it landed on Zhao Feng.


    Weng~~


    A crack appeared in the ripple surrounding Zhao Feng and it started to fade.


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s attack was far too strong. Zhao Feng¡¯s Water Bloodline could easily block two or three normal Sovereign Lords, but it wasn¡¯t able to stop a single Scythe of Death.


    ¡°Hmph, 70% of the Scythe of Death¡¯s power is soul-based anyway.¡±


    Mockery appeared on Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s face.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Water Bloodline cracked from the scythe¡¯s 30% physical component; it didn¡¯t even block the other 70%.


    Shu~


    A faint figure of a scythe radiating an aura of Death sliced into Zhao Feng¡¯s soul.


    Bo~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul shook, and the sixty-yard-wide lake within the dimension of his left eye started to surge as the scythe created a deep chasm.


    Wu~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body froze, and he groaned.


    Putting aside the soul attack, the physical component of the Scythe of Death already greatly threatened life.


    ¡°Using the power of Death to create a soul attack that directly slays the opponent¡¯s soul¡­.¡±


    Struggle appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. A bloody gash was left on his body, and the aura of Death spread across his body.


    Even though he had the Water Bloodline, it could only slowly heal the damage.


    ¡°Brat¡­ it¡¯s your honor to die by the Scythe of Death.¡±


    A victorious smile appeared on Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s face. In terms of strength, he was much stronger than Guard Thirty-Three.


    The Scythe of Death had a 40-50% chance of killing even half-step Void God Realms, let alone a Small Origin Core Realm. Guard Twenty-Eight could only use such a secret technique four or five times a day.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    A cold exclamation within the soul-dimension froze the smile on the Death Guard¡¯s face.


    _Eye of Ice Soul!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye gave off a stunning ice-blue as an absolute coldness enveloped the Death Guard¡¯s body.


    ¡°He¡¯s¡­ not dead!?¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s heart shook. His thoughts seemed to freeze, and his movements became much slower.


    A cold youth with blue hair and a freezing left eye appeared in his sight.


    ¡°How could a measly Small Origin Core Realm survive the Scythe of Death?¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s body was cold, and his reactions and movements were much slower than usual.


    ¡°Hehe¡­. Soul attacks?¡±


    Mockery appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face. Ever since he had merged with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he had never been defeated in terms of soul-strength, even when the difference was huge.


    Bo~~


    A mysterious whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake in the dimension of his left eye, which started to control the scythe of death and make it sink.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was unharmed.


    ¡°Impossible! Even a half-step Void God Realm wouldn¡¯t be unharmed¡­!¡±


    Shock spread across Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s frozen face.


    The Scythe of Death was 70% a soul attack and 30% a physical attack, yet Zhao Feng seemed to have blocked the 70% soul attack completely while only a bit of the 30% physical attack managed to injure Zhao Feng at all.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence and body had reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm, and they had absorbed the Ancient Dream Realm aura, so he actually wasn¡¯t that injured physically either.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    A surge of eye-bloodline power started to gather in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, and a purple aura flickered across his left eye.


    _Not good!_


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s heart jumped as he remembered how Guard Thirty-Three lost.


    Guard Thirty-Three had the Death Shadow Figure, so he could be revived as long as his soul wasn¡¯t destroyed. He had given information regarding Zhao Feng to the other Death Guards, and Guard Twenty-Eight had heard about the Void Space Eye Slash.


    He was about to dodge, but he found that his reactions and movements were much slower than usual.


    Now that Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and eye-bloodline had become so much stronger, the Eye of Ice Soul reduced the Death Guard¡¯s reactions and speed much more than before.


    Bam!


    A sharp blade radiating a stunning aura of Destruction pierced through Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s body.


    Si~~


    Guard Twenty-Eight did his best to dodge. He managed to make the Void Space Eye Slash miss his heart, but even then, the aura of Destruction ran rampant across his body and attacked his heart.


    Now that Zhao Feng had almost comprehended the entirety of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning, the power of Destruction contained within the Void Space Eye Slash was several times stronger than before.


    ¡°Just a little bit more.¡±


    Zhao Feng got ready to fire the second Void Space Eye Slash. Now that his soul-strength was so strong, he could use ten Void Space Eye Slashes.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Guard Twenty-Eight turned into hundreds and thousands of figures.


    These Death Shadow Doppelgangers hid the real body while some attacked Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Hundred Figures!¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered as his left eye inspected the intent of Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s doppelgangers and released a shining ball of purple Wind Lightning.


    Shua! Shua! Shua~~~~~~!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body instantly split into two purple Wind Lightning figures. The two purple Wind Lightning figures then split once again.


    Two¡­ four¡­ eight¡­ sixteen.


    In just a short moment, dozens of purple Wind Lightning figures spread across a hundred-yard radius.


    ¡°How does that brat¡­ know my Ten Thousand Figure Chaos Technique!?¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight exclaimed.


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have even one-fifth the number of doppelgangers as the Death Guard, the intent used to create them was extremely similar. Even more incredibly, these doppelgangers formed an array and created arcs of lightning and gusts of wind.


    __


    _The intent of these doppelgangers is similar to the Yin Shadow Doppelgangers from the Yin Shadow Cloak, and my Wind Lightning Inheritance also has the intent of the Illusion Lightning Afterimage¡­._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s true body was hidden amongst the dozen figures.


    It was because Zhao Feng already had a foundation that he was able to copy Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s Ten Thousand Figure Chaos Technique.


    Merging his two skills, he created the Wind Lightning Hundred Figures. The basis of these doppelgangers was wind and lightning, which helped them display lightning-quick speed.


    Boom!


    The doppelgangers clashed with one another and shattered.


    Due to the restriction in cultivation and the limited amount of Wind Lightning Hundred Figures, Zhao Feng was soon at a disadvantage.


    ¡°Brat, I¡¯ll be able to find your true body very soon.¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s face was filled with hatred, and his true body was hidden amongst his doppelgangers.


    As the amount of Zhao Feng¡¯s doppelgangers decreased:


    ¡°Eye of Ice Soul!¡±


    A cold voice resounded across the soul-dimension, and frost started to appear on Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s body.


    ¡°He found me?¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s body froze. His reactions and movements were obviously much slower once again, and he could foresee that the next Void Space Eye Slash was going to appear soon, but he couldn¡¯t accept that Zhao Feng was able to find his true body so fast.


    The doppelgangers from his Ten Thousand Figure Chaos Technique had the same aura; even those at the half-step Void God Realm would find it hard to find the real one.


    _Void Space Eye Slash!_


    A wisp of eye-bloodline power covered Guard Twenty-Eight.


    __


    _Dodge!_


    Although his reactions were much slower, he had enough time to make sure that the attack didn¡¯t land on his vitals. Being a Death Guard, he also had an almost-immortal body, so he wasn¡¯t scared of normal attacks as long as they didn¡¯t destroy his heart and other vitals.


    Shua~~~


    A blade pierced through Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s body.


    Si!


    ¡°Argh~~~!¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s body froze, and he screamed. His eyes were full of fear.


    A blade radiating an aura of Destruction had cut him at the waist. However, unlike the last one, this blade was half the height of a human and several times bigger than before.


    ¡°Hehe. Mega Void Space Eye Slash.¡±


    Zhao Feng gave a light laugh.


    Shu~~


    ¡°You¡­!¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight couldn¡¯t help but look down at himself.


    Plop!


    His body had been bisected by the Mega Void Space Eye Slash.

 623 Scared Away

    The Mega Void Space Eye Slash was longer and wider.


    The most terrifying part about the Void Space Eye Slash was its ability to suddenly teleport and attack a certain point, even if it collided with a living being.


    That meant that the attack was hard to avoid, and it could ignore almost all defense.


    ¡°Brat¡­!¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s lower half had been completely cut off, and he roared in shock and anger.


    Having a Death Shadow Body, he was still fine for now even with his lower half cut off. Only, his battle-power would be slightly weaker.


    ¡°Purple Destruction Eye Flame!¡±


    Zhao Feng was already prepared. He attacked once more.


    Whoosh!


    A roaring, dozens-of-yards-wide and half-transparent purple fireball radiating an aura of Destruction appeared.


    After breaking through to the Origin Core Realm, his Dan Fire was of a higher level, and it was now related to the Purple Destruction, containing both the power of Destruction and Wind Lightning.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The Death Guard tried to evade.


    Under normal situations, an eye-bloodline attack was extremely hard to avoid, and in terms of damage, the Purple Destruction Eye Flame was even stronger than the Void Space Eye Slash, but the Purple Destruction Eye Flame could be seen, so Guard Twenty-Eight could still dodge it.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Mockery appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Boom!


    The Purple Destruction Eye Flame howled as it hit the lower half of Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s body.


    Bam!


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s lower half was instantly scorched by the Purple Destruction Eye Flame.


    ¡°My body¡­!¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight howled as he watched the lower half of his body turn into black charcoal.


    Although the Death Shadow Body had the attribute of immortality, that didn¡¯t mean it was fully indestructible. Without energy to protect and support it, it could do nothing against the Purple Destruction Eye Flame.


    _Let¡¯s see how long you can last with half a body._


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly in his heart.


    Because the Death Guard was too fast, making Zhao Feng unable to lock on to the heart, he could only try to increase the size of the Void Space Eye Slash and cut off a part of the body.


    The Purple Destruction Eye Flame just now was aimed toward the cut-off part since not much damage would be dealt to the Death Guard even if it hit him.


    ¡°Brat, I¡¯m going to turn you into ashes¡­!¡±


    When had Guard Twenty-Eight ever been so humiliated before? A Scythe of Death condensed in his hand once more as he leapt toward Zhao Feng with just an upper half of a body.


    This time, he changed tactics and used the Scythe of Death as a weapon for close combat.


    ¡°Dancing Scythe of Death!¡±


    Insanity appeared in Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s eyes as he waved the Scythe of Death, and cold lights of Death flashed around.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The remaining doppelgangers around Zhao Feng were instantly shattered.


    ¡°Dammit!¡±


    Facing the Death Guard¡¯s counterattack, Zhao Feng felt the danger of a life-or-death moment once more.


    At the end of the day, the difference between the two fighters was still rather big.


    The Scythe of Death earlier was 30% a physical attack and 70% a soul attack. However, even then, the 30% physical attack had injured Zhao Feng, who only just recovered a bit by now.


    This time, the Scythe of Death was 30% a soul attack and 70% physical, aiming to destroy Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    It could be said that the threat this time was much bigger than last time.


    ¡°Eye of Ice Soul!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye radiated a freezing power that limited the Death Guard¡¯s reaction.


    _Wings of Wind and Lightning!_


    A pair of purple-colored Wings of Wind and Lightning started to grow behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back, and his senses toward wind and lightning, as well as his speed, rose dramatically.


    Whoosh!


    The wings behind Zhao Feng flapped frantically and increased his speed to the limit.


    His speed at this moment had exceeded most Sovereign Lords.


    ¡°Get over here!¡±


    At the moment, the Death Guard couldn¡¯t catch up to Zhao Feng.


    Firstly, he had lost his legs. His battle-power and speed were restricted.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Ice Soul had locked on to him.


    Meanwhile, Guard Nineteen was still using the Death Soul Hand to stall the three half-step Void God Realms.


    The three half-step Void God Realms radiated powerful Void God Realm intents and froze the air within half a mile. Even Sovereign Lords found it hard to get close.


    ¡°I can only last a little more than a dozen breaths. Guard Twenty-Eight still isn¡¯t done yet?¡±


    Guard Nineteen was feeling a lot of pressure. After all, he was fighting against three half-step Void God Realms at once, and all of them came from a sect that was allowed to stay in a Spiritual Sacred Land.


    Elsewhere, Death Guard Twenty-Five wasn¡¯t finding things easy either. He was facing many late-stage and peak stage Sovereign Lords at once.


    The two Death Guards looked over through the corner of their eye, and they jumped up in fright from what they saw.


    The area where Zhao Feng and Guard Twenty-Eight were fighting was filled with light.


    Guard Twenty-Eight looked extremely bad. He had lost both his legs and was currently fighting back with just his upper body.


    ¡°The information we were given was wrong. The target has now reached the middle-stage of the Small Origin Core Realm, and his battle-power is terrifying¡­.¡±


    The hearts of the two Death Guards dropped.


    When Guard Thirty-Three revived, he said that the target was only at the half-step Origin Core Realm and that, if it weren¡¯t for some factors and other reasons, any Death Guard could easily kill him.


    ¡°Dancing Scythe of Death!¡±


    The Scythe of Death in Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s hand became a huge black whirlwind and charged after Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning behind Zhao Feng flapped frantically. He didn¡¯t dare to fight with this attack head-on.


    It wasn¡¯t hard for spectators to see that Zhao Feng was just stalling for time.


    The Death Guard only had half a body. He was severely injured, so his speed was limited, and as time passed, his battle-power would continue to drop.


    ¡°The Death Guard¡¯s speed and battle-power will drop by half as long as I can drag this out a while longer.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that the longer he stalled, the higher the chance of him winning, so how would Death Guard Twenty-Eight not know that as well? He knew the situation even clearer. Guard Nineteen was suppressing three half-step Void God Realms at once and probably wouldn¡¯t be able to last very long.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight roared, and the Scythe of Death quickly rotated as it flew after Zhao Feng.


    Hu~~


    With the Scythe of Death at the center, the whirlwind spun over.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Zhao Feng had been locked on to by the Scythe of Death just like last time, and he couldn¡¯t dodge it. The speed of the Scythe of Death was just too fast.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­!¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight roared with laughter, but the expressions of Guard Nineteen and Guard Twenty-Five changed, ¡°Leave the corpse whole!¡±


    The Pursuit of Death this time was different from the past. The Emperor of Death specifically said it was best to capture him alive, and if that was impossible, to leave a whole corpse.


    At the absolute worst, the head needed to be intact.


    After all, the Emperor of Death wanted to steal the ¡°Ninth God¡¯s Eye.¡±


    As Zhao Feng was about to be ripped into pieces by the Dancing Scythe of Death:


    _The Water Bloodline won¡¯t be able to defend against this. I¡¯ll have to use the Water Spirit Divine Change, but¡­_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts spun, but he finally decided not to use the Water Spirit Divine Change. He didn¡¯t even use the Water Bloodline to protect himself.


    Boom!


    The terrifying whirlpool suddenly broke apart as if it had lost its core.


    ¡°What!?¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s expression froze.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do anything at all. The terrifying whirlwind of Death faded the moment it got near him.


    A wisp of eye-bloodline power was covering the area.


    ¡°Could it be¡­? Not good!¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight suddenly remembered something, and his heart jumped. He remembered the information Guard Thirty-Three had supplied. The target had the ability to move objects through space, making them appear directly inside the opponent¡¯s body.


    _Dodge!_


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s face went white as he evaded. He knew how strong the Scythe of Death was ¨C it had a chance to kill even someone at the half-step Void God Realm.


    However, the spatial movement attack didn¡¯t come.


    _Hmm?_


    Guard Twenty-Eight was extremely puzzled. He clearly felt a disturbance in space stealing the Scythe of Death, otherwise the black whirlwind wouldn¡¯t have faded away.


    ¡°Retard. Did you think I would transfer the attack to someone as crippled as you?¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered in disdain. As soon as he finished his sentence:


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    A scream came from the air above the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship.


    Shu~~~


    The Scythe of Death pierced through Guard Nineteen¡¯s body.


    ¡°Guard Twenty-Eight, you idiot~~~!¡±


    Guard Nineteen, who was suppressing the three half-step Void God Realms, groaned as his body froze.


    Zhao Feng transferred the power to Guard Nineteen, who was the strongest. Under normal circumstances, Guard Nineteen would have been able to sense it coming, but he was currently facing three half-step Void God Realms at the same time. Even if he did sense it, he wouldn¡¯t have had the time to dodge.


    ¡°Good chance!¡±


    The three half-step Void God Realms revealed joyful expressions, and their three Void God Realm intents broke past the Death Soul Hand.


    Wah!


    Guard Nineteen was injured even further. He spat out a mouthful of blood as his soul was damaged.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    The souls of the three half-step Void God Realms returned to their bodies, and they immediately started to attack Guard Nineteen with all their strength and their greatest killing moves.


    ¡°How did it end up like this?¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight¡¯s face went gray. It was as if he had entered a cave of ice. He didn¡¯t know whether to keep attacking or retreat.


    Zhao Feng smiled without pressing forward.


    In reality, he had expended a lot of his eye-bloodline power. The size of the Scythe of Death was much bigger than his Void Space Eye Slash, and using spatial movement on an item of such size took up a lot of energy.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng could only use the Void Space Eye Slash one more time. It would be hard to kill Guard Twenty-Eight, who had the Death Shadow Body.


    He would rather keep it in case something unexpected happened.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    Guard Nineteen ordered. He was injured and currently being suppressed by the three half-step Void God Realms.


    After all, the three came from a sect inside a Sacred Land, so they surely had special secret techniques. If they used any, they would be a threat to Guard Nineteen¡¯s life.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    Guard Twenty-Eight let out a breath. He turned into hundreds and thousands of Death Shadow Figures, each with a severely injured body, and covered the other two Death Guards.


    ¡°Chase them! How dare you harm our disciples? Even if you¡¯re the subordinates of the Emperor of Death, we won¡¯t let you go.¡±


    Old Li roared with killing intent.

 624 Power of a King

    Zhao Feng returned to the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship and sat down, then watched the three half-step Void God Realms from the Golden Mountain Sect chase after the Death Guards.


    Although the victory was hard-fought, it was easier than the last fight against a Death Guard.


    Last time, Zhao Feng had used every method possible, including: the little thieving cat, all his True Yuan, and all his eye-bloodline power, whereas this time, apart from the fact that he had used the majority of his eye-bloodline power, he still had more than half his True Yuan remaining.


    Bo!


    A ripple of water glowed around Zhao Feng and started to heal the injuries created by the Scythe of Death.


    The attacks from the Death Guards contained an aura of Death, which greatly threatened living beings.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his state of existence had reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm and had absorbed a ton of Ancient Dream Realm aura, he would have died to the Scythe of Death.


    Some other Great Origin Core Realms would have been killed without a doubt.


    As time passed, most of Zhao Feng¡¯s injuries recovered. While he was healing, the other geniuses looked at Zhao Feng with deep respect, but a small number of them also had vengeful expressions.


    ¡°That brat is the Target of Death! He brought disaster to our Golden Mountain Sect¡­!¡±


    A few Sovereigns gritted their teeth.


    Dozens of people died just now, and almost ten of them were Sovereigns.


    Half the time it took to burn incense later:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh~~~~~~


    The three half-step Void God Realms returned to the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship.


    Looking closely at them, the three half-step Void God Realms had grim expressions, and they were ruffled. It was obvious that they didn¡¯t gain any advantage in the pursuit just now.


    One of them had even lost an arm, and his expression was dark.


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡±


    Old Li¡¯s expression was slightly ugly as he gave Zhao Feng a deep glance.


    Zhao Feng got up and followed the three half-step Void God Realms.


    Within an elegant room in the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship:


    ¡°Zhao Feng, what¡¯s going on? Are you really a target of the Pursuit of Death?¡±


    Old Li spoke, and the other two half-step Void God Realms stared at Zhao Feng with twinkling eyes, while the one-armed half-step Void God Realm had a cold expression.


    At this moment, the mental energy of the three half-step Void God Realms put pressure on Zhao Feng and stiffened his body.


    However, it wasn¡¯t as if Zhao Feng had never been in intense situations before. He calmed down quickly and replied in a calm tone, ¡°This junior is indeed the target of the Pursuit of Death, but I didn¡¯t expect them to catch up right before we entered the True Martial Sacred Land¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hide it. He was indeed a victim who was being pursued by the subordinates of the Emperor of Death.


    He didn¡¯t expect the three Death Guards to suddenly show up.


    The three half-step Void God Realms then asked a few more questions, which Zhao Feng just glossed over in response.


    Only after a while did the enmity in the expressions of the three half-step Void God Realms fade a bit.


    The three then exchanged glances with each other and started to communicate through Divine Sense.


    A while later:


    ¡°Zhao Feng, although this isn¡¯t your fault, you are partially responsible for it. We need you to tell the upper echelon of the sect when we arrive in the Sacred Land.¡±


    The one-armed half-step Void God Realm said in a deep tone.


    Zhao Feng paused. Was the Golden Mountain Sect going to punish him?


    ¡°Little Friend Zhao, don¡¯t get it mixed up. The sect has been damaged, so we need to report the cause to the upper echelon. You just need to follow us when we enter the Sacred Land and cooperate.¡±


    Old Li smiled and said.


    ¡°Old Li, relax.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood. Old Li was scared that he would run away mid-journey. If that happened, the three half-step Void God Realms wouldn¡¯t be able to report to their bosses.


    ¡°Furthermore, you will be safe when you enter the True Martial Sacred Land. Even the Emperor of Death wouldn¡¯t dare to attack you there.¡±


    Old Li comforted.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He didn¡¯t doubt it; although the Emperor of Death was strong, he wasn¡¯t an Emperor of the True Martial Sacred Land.


    Furthermore, the three-star forces of the True Martial Sacred Land definitely had Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords because that was a requirement for a sect to be considered a three-star force.


    Within the golden room, the three half-step Void God Realms sent Zhao Feng away with their eyes.


    ¡°Old Li, are you sure that that brat¡¯s related to Duanmu Qing in any way?¡±


    The eyes of the one-armed half-step Void God Realm twinkled. He didn¡¯t have any good feelings toward Zhao Feng since he lost an arm in the pursuit of the Death Guards.


    If Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have a strong background, the half-step Void God Realm would have taught him a lesson already.


    ¡°It should be true. That brat¡¯s eye-bloodline is extremely unique, so he definitely has _someone_ strong behind his back. Furthermore, Duanmu Qing is often in seclusion in the Sacred Land, so normal people don¡¯t even know his name.¡±


    Old Li said after a while.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Duanmu Qing¡¯s strength is unfathomable, and he¡¯s apparently trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm.¡±


    The three half-step Void God Realms were full of respect toward Duanmu Qing.


    Within the Spiritual Sea, where Yuan Qi formed storms and ran rampant, the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship had returned to normal and was approaching the direction of the Sacred Land.


    A few hours later, Zhao Feng¡¯s injuries had completely healed.


    At this moment, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi around the Spiritual Sea had calmed down.


    ¡°What dense Heaven Earth Yuan Qi! It¡¯s comparable to the Purple Saint Ruins.¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised. Ever since entering the outside world, the feeling given off by the limitless ocean was desolate and poor. The Yuan Qi here was nowhere near as dense as inland, but the center of the Spiritual Sea defied logic.


    After inspecting it closely, Zhao Feng found that the Spiritual Sea was like the center of a whirlpool of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the limitless ocean.


    ¡°We¡¯re almost there.¡±


    A couple Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords aboard the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship looked toward the distance, and Zhao Feng also looked with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Several hundred miles away, there was a hundred-yard-wide circle of light that floated above the Spiritual Sea like the sun.


    Multi-colored lights and blurry images could be seen within the circle.


    ¡°So that¡¯s the entrance?¡±


    Many people walked onto the deck of the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship and watched.


    There were many experts near the entrance, and each of them were at the Great Origin Core Realm.


    In the air above the Sacred Land, a shining blue light was floating like a god, and the power radiating from it seemed to freeze both Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Greetings, Grand Elder.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, King.¡±


    Many figures aboard the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship bowed down.


    _Void God Realm King?_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyelids twitched as he looked up at the shining blue god-like figure.


    Even he couldn¡¯t see the figure clearly within the light, and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye or his Spiritual Sense.


    In front of this power, all sensing abilities and all Heaven Earth Yuan Qi were suppressed.


    The power of a King reigned supreme.


    It was a farmer facing an emperor; they didn¡¯t even dare to look directly at the emperor.


    ¡°Grand Elder.¡±


    Old Li and the other two half-step Void God Realms flew over to the Void God Realm King.


    ¡°What happened for you to ask the Sacred Land for help?¡±


    The outline of a male within the blue light started to become clearer, and his emotionless voice seemed to descend from afar.


    The entire area was pressured by his magnificent power, and the minds of the Origin Core Realm experts aboard the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship slowed down and trembled.


    ¡°Lord King, this is what happened¡­¡±


    Cold sweat appeared on Old Li¡¯s forehead.


    The three half-step Void God Realms then started to report what had happened.


    During this period of time, Zhao Feng suddenly felt the blue-robed man¡¯s gaze. In that instant, his soul seemed to shake, and his thoughts became restrained.


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. He didn¡¯t dare to fight back, but luckily, the power only flashed by and didn¡¯t actually enter his body. Otherwise¡­ just a thought from a Void God Realm could shatter a normal Sovereign Lord¡¯s soul.


    ¡°So, this is the power of a Void God Realm. Their souls are extremely strong, and no matter how powerful one¡¯s physical body is, as long as their thoughts and soul are restricted, they can be killed with just a thought.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. What he just felt was the great chasm between their souls.


    Apparently, the Divine Sense of a Void God Realm King could leave their physical body and fly through the air and had incomprehensible power in general.


    ¡°Emperor of Death?¡±


    Surprise appeared in the voice of the blue-robed man.


    A magnificent power once again descended upon Zhao Feng¡¯s soul, shaking his body and mind.


    Normal Origin Core Realms would have already kneeled to the ground, but Zhao Feng had been in the Ancient Dream Realm, and the aura there was extremely powerful.


    ¡°How dare you bring the target of the Pursuit of Death to the Golden Mountain Sect? This is a disaster¡­.¡±


    The blue-robed man¡¯s voice was uneasy.


    The hearts of Old Li and company shook, and they became uneasy. Although they knew of the Emperor of Death, it seemed they had underestimated the danger involved.


    Being a Void God Realm King, the blue-robed man was even more wary of the Emperor of Death than anyone below the Void God Realm.


    ¡°The Emperor of Death has the Eye of Death, and he¡¯s an elite amongst Emperors. In the past, an expert of the Golden Mountain Sect about the same strength as myself was almost killed by the Emperor of Death, but he handed over the target of the Pursuit of Death at the last moment to survive¡­.¡±


    The blue-robed man said in frustration.


    Apart from the three half-step Void God Realms, only Zhao Feng could catch a bit of the communication going on in the soul dimension.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart suddenly jumped. It seemed as if this King of the Golden Mountain Sect was scared of the Emperor of Death and didn¡¯t dare to offend him.


    ¡°Grand Elder, this junior also has¡­¡±


    Old Li tried to explain.


    Right at that moment:


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Aboard the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul suddenly became filled with a sense of danger he had never felt before.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡±


    The Void God Realm intent of the man in blue passed through the limitless ocean and caused the Heaven and Earth to change colors.


    At the same time, four Death Guards and a tall figure who made the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi become filled with Death walked over.

 625 Sacred Land Spiritual Peak

    ¡°It¡¯s appeared again¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that the aura of Death within his soul was stronger than ever before.


    There were more than just one or two Tokens of Death approaching, and one of them made Zhao Feng¡¯s soul freeze.


    Even the blue-robed King from the Golden Mountain Sect sensed something, and his expression changed dramatically.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. It was obvious that the pursuer this time wasn¡¯t just a normal Death Guard.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye peered into the distance, and he couldn¡¯t help but take a cold breath because of what he saw.


    It was as if the entire sun had been blocked by a gray aura of Death that seemed to freeze all Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    In his vision, the four Death Guards stood around a magnificent figure, who was surrounded by dark flames like a god from hell.


    An intent of Death that surpassed all other beings passed through several thousand miles and descended.


    ¡°Target of Death¡­ you indeed came to the Sacred Land.¡±


    A cold voice that seemed to come from the depths of hell sounded within the soul dimension.


    In that instant, the hearts of all the experts and geniuses from the Golden Mountain Sect shook, and their thoughts seemed to become devoured by darkness. Their existences were tiny in front of this person.


    The intent of Death locked on to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Death Spirit Lord!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart tightened and his scalp tingled as he felt a burning aura of Death start to spread across his body.


    The subordinates of the Emperor of Death consisted of four Death Spirit Lords and thirty-six Death Guards. Amongst them, the four Death Spirit Lords had reached the Void God Realm.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng¡¯s body and bloodline were extremely powerful, and his soul had the protection of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, so he felt less pressure than some other Sovereign Lords.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    The expression of the blue-robed King was dim, and a surge of Void God intent surged from him and clashed with the intent of Death.


    The two Void God powers instantly intertwined, and the sky was replaced by a shining blue and deathly black as the two auras fought.


    It was as if the sky had been ripped into two pieces, forming two separate domains.


    The Golden Dragon Scaled Ship was protected by the shining blue light, which stopped the Void God powers of the Death Spirit Lord.


    ¡°Is this¡­ the power of a King?¡±


    The hearts of those aboard the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship were shaken.


    The two powers blocked the sky and seemed infinitely powerful. Either of them could easily kill Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords.


    ¡°This level of cultivation¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. His senses were restricted; only his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could barely look at the powers of the two Void God Realms.


    The soul-auras of the two Kings merged into the sky, and their every action seemed to pass into the soul dimension.


    This level had exceeded the structure of flesh and blood; it could fly into the universe.


    A measly mortal able to enter the universe.


    ¡°That¡¯s the theoretical ¡®One with the Sky¡¯ level ¨C becoming one with heaven and earth, exceeding the limits of a physical body¡­¡±


    Within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s heart trembled, but it was hard to tell whether it was from excitement or fear.


    The skeletal Division Leader had only heard the Scarlet Moon Patriarch talk about the Void God Realm before. The Scarlet Moon Patriarch was only a half-step Void God Realm at his peak, and he had only barely touched the Void God Realm.


    ¡°They¡¯re far too strong. This isn¡¯t a power that ¡®humans¡¯ can have¡­. Even hundreds and thousands of Origin Core Realms are just ants in front of a King.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt tiny.


    Boom!


    A loud explosion sounded overhead, and part of the power entered the physical dimension.


    ¡°As expected of a Death Spirit Lord.¡±


    The blue-robed King¡¯s body shook as he was enveloped by a shining light that made others unable to see him. However, having the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng could see that the blue-robed King from the Golden Mountain Sect was at a slight disadvantage.


    ¡°I am one of the four Death Spirit Lords under the Emperor of Death ¨C the Black Hell Lord ¨C and I am here to capture that brat under the Emperor¡¯s orders.¡±


    The tall figure covered in darkness didn¡¯t come closer.


    Two Void God Realm intents clashed in the sky.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see sweat appear on the blue-robed King¡¯s forehead. Shock appeared on the blue-robed King¡¯s face, whereas the so-called Black Hell Lord had a nonchalant expression.


    After testing each other out, the two Kings started to communicate.


    ¡°I only used 60% of my strength just now. If you hand over the Target of Death, the Emperor of Death will help you out once with all his might¡­.¡±


    The Black Hell Lord said.


    ¡°Hmph. A mere subordinate of the Emperor of Death wants the Golden Mountain Sect to kneel? Where would our face go?¡±


    The blue-robed King snickered.


    Although others couldn¡¯t hear what was going on, Zhao Feng felt as if his destiny was being decided by others.


    His fate was being negotiated by the two Kings.


    However, surprisingly, the blue-robed King didn¡¯t surrender to the Death Spirit Lord.


    ¡°All of you retreat and return to the Sacred Land Spiritual Peak.¡±


    The King in blue glanced deeply toward Zhao Feng before giving an order to the Golden Mountain Sect.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Old Li, the other two half-step Void God Realms, and the several hundred others aboard the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship flew toward the large light rotating in the air, including Zhao Feng.


    The blue-robed King stood near the entrance and covered them, while the Black Hell Lord and the four Death Guards stood several thousand miles away and didn¡¯t try to enter.


    The two Kings¡¯ powers travelled through the sky without fighting. Throughout the entire process, the blue-robed King gazed coldly at the Black Hell Lord and the four Death Guards.


    ¡°Retreat.¡±


    The Black Hell Lord was emotionless as he turned around and left with the four Death Guards.


    ¡°Death Spirit Lord, we¡¯re giving up just like this?¡±


    ¡°With your strength, you should be able to suppress that King.¡±


    A few of the Death Guards were puzzled.


    ¡°This is the True Martial Sacred Land, not our Ten Thousand Woods Sacred Land. Furthermore, it isn¡¯t rare for there to be Emperors in the forces that are able to enter a Sacred Land.¡±


    The Black Hell Lord sighed. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they were so close to the entrance of the Sacred Land, he wouldn¡¯t have given up so easily.


    Right at this moment:


    Sou!


    A cold, black metallic ship flew through the air.


    ¡°Black Hell Lord.¡±


    There were a couple Death Guards aboard the cold black ship. In addition, there was a warm youth and a white-eyed little girl.


    ¡°Third Prince.¡±


    The Black Hell Lord nodded his head and greeted the warm youth.


    ¡°How unfortunate. I didn¡¯t think that the target would be able to mature so quickly¡­.¡±


    The warm youth said in a regretful tone after hearing what happened.


    If the Black Hell Lord were able to arrive just a bit earlier, he would have easily caught the target.


    ¡°The Target of Death has entered the True Martial Sacred Land. It¡¯ll be troublesome if a strong force from the Sacred Land protects him.¡±


    The Black Hell Lord said grimly.


    Even the Emperor of Death didn¡¯t dare to do as he pleased in a Spiritual Sacred Land.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s not as if there¡¯s no way at all. Master has some connections with the First Elder of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, a three-star force in the True Martial Sacred Land. We¡¯ll have many chances to capture or kill Zhao Feng after we find the First Elder of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.¡±


    The warm youth laughed lightly.


    _Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan._


    The hearts of the Death Guards jumped.


    The Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan was one of the most famous three-star super forces within the Cang Ocean. It was a demonic clan.


    The Emperor of Death was an extremely old Void God Realm Emperor, so he had some relationships with the experts of the Sacred Lands.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, if we can get help from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, it¡¯ll be extremely easy to suppress a peak two-star sect.¡±


    Coldness appeared on the Black Hell Lord¡¯s blurred face.


    At the same time:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The group onboard the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship appeared above a large array stand.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as he entered this new dimension.


    ¡°Hmm? Arghh!¡±


    Exclamations came from the group.


    A couple of the geniuses from the Golden Mountain Sect felt heavy and unstable. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi gave off a powerful pressure.


    ¡°Hmm? This dimension is slightly similar to the Ancient Dream Realm. It¡¯s even somewhat repulsive to the aura of strangers.¡±


    Zhao Feng remained unmoving.


    The dimension here radiated a pure and thick ancient aura.


    They were on top of a Spiritual Peak on a green mountain.


    The sky was a pure blue that seemed to be out of a dream.


    ¡°Every blade of grass and all the flowers radiate an aura of the ancient era.¡±


    Some experts and geniuses revealed excited looks as they tried to regain their balance.


    Every brick, grass, and piece of wood in the Sacred Land was several times stronger than the outside world due to the unique Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    ¡°Those that are here for the first time, sit down for an hour and get used to this place.¡±


    Old Li warned.


    Hearing that, everyone sat down. Those that were here for the first time felt a powerful pressure come from the Heaven and Earth.


    Zhao Feng also sat down. What made him most surprised was that even the worst place here was better than the mysterious canyon of the Purple Saint Ruins.


    The entire several-hundred-miles area surrounding the Spiritual Peak was filled with thick and dense Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Looking from afar, it seemed as if the Spiritual Peak was surrounded by a separate, dream-like dimension.


    Of course, those that were entering for the first time needed to get used to the pressure, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t.


    _Although the pressure here is strong, it¡¯s nowhere near the pressure from the Ancient Dream Realm._


    Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    He didn¡¯t feel uncomfortable at all here. His body and soul had absorbed large amounts of the Ancient Dream Realm aura, and it was much purer than the aura here. Therefore, Zhao Feng was soon ¡°approved¡± by the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within the Sacred Land, and the repulsive aura from the dimension soon faded.


    Zhao Feng started to inspect his surroundings.


    The Spiritual Peak was like a foundation that released pure Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and the Yuan Qi here could turn into mist.


    Above the Spiritual Peak, within the dreamy light, there were elegant buildings, small streams, and bridges. It was like a drawing of perfection.


    Powerful auras could be sensed flashing across the sky, and extinct ancient beasts could be occasionally seen.

 626 Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak

    ¡°This Spiritual Peak is the entrance to the Golden Mountain Sect.¡±


    Old Li stood in front of Zhao Feng and introduced.


    As he said that, the half-step Void God Realms from the Golden Mountain Sect had faint signs of pride on their faces.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned over what was happening within the Sacred Land.


    ¡°There¡¯s a total of three main Spiritual Peaks and thirty-three lesser Spiritual Peaks. Anyone who can obtain a lesser Spiritual Peak would be considered an elite two-star sect.¡±


    Old Li continued.


    _As expected._


    Zhao Feng saw thirty-three lesser Spiritual Peaks around the outside border of the Sacred Land. Each of them was like a fountain that gave off continuous and dense Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Every one of them was covered with mist, and, although the scenery inside wasn¡¯t clear, it was still beautiful.


    _Each lesser Spiritual Peak can fit a peak two-star sect, and the environment here is far better than the mysterious canyon in the Purple Saint Ruins._


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. These were just the lesser Spiritual Peaks.


    In the center of the Sacred Land were the three main Spiritual Peaks that seemed to touch the sky.


    The three main Spiritual Peaks were surrounded by the lesser Spiritual Peaks and seemed to exist in harmony with the Heaven and Earth. They radiated a powerful aura that even Void God Realm Kings didn¡¯t dare to go against.


    ¡°The main Spiritual Peaks are more than ten times bigger than the lesser Spiritual Peaks, and only three-star forces have the right to enter one.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s gaze turned toward the three blurry main Spiritual Peaks.


    The main Spiritual Peaks were in the center of the Sacred Land.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye caught sight of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi emanating from that direction; it was even purer than the lesser Spiritual Peaks, and it radiated in every direction.


    ¡°Could it be that all of these Spiritual Peaks are fountains of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    According to the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng¡¯s guesses were correct. The main Spiritual Peaks and lesser Spiritual Peaks were all Heaven Earth Fountains that gave birth to Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    The entire True Martial Sacred Land was at the center of a Heaven Earth Fountain within the limitless ocean. It was because of this that the Spiritual Sea surrounding the Sacred Land was extremely chaotic and that the number of forces here were much greater than other island zones.


    ¡°Hmm? That main Spiritual Peak¡­?¡±


    An expert with an eye-bloodline from the sect found that something was amiss.


    The three main Spiritual Peaks were in the center of the Sacred Land, but the centermost one didn¡¯t seem to have any force staying there.


    ¡°Hmm? The centermost main Spiritual Peak seems to be abandoned. Its Heaven Earth Fountain isn¡¯t as good as the other two.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was able to see it better. The centermost main Spiritual Peak seemed to have no one there.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak. No one owns it.¡±


    A Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord sighed.


    Those that had been to the Sacred Land before looked toward the centermost main Spiritual Peak with complex emotions, but they all contained admiration.


    Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Land. Just the name alone wasn¡¯t simple.


    ¡°Dozens of thousands of years ago, there was a super sect about to reach the rank of four-stars on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.¡±


    Old Li¡¯s face was filled with respect.


    __


    _Four-star super sect?_


    Everyone¡¯s heart shook.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak was a ruin of an almost-four-star sect.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was blocked by some sort of power from the peak.


    It was unusual that no force stayed there.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned around the entire Sacred Land, then he took back his gaze.


    ¡°The Sacred Land isn¡¯t as calm and peaceful as you think it is. All you newbies, don¡¯t leave past five hundred miles of here¡­.¡±


    The one-armed half-step King warned.


    Zhao Feng understood. There were only thirty-three lesser Spiritual Peaks, but the number of two-star sects in the True Martial Islands Zone alone exceeded one hundred.


    Apart from the Spiritual Peaks, there were large patches of forest, lakes, deserts, and other areas.


    ¡°Of course, there¡¯s another important point ¨C never offend anyone from the Mystic True Sacred Clan or the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.¡±


    Old Li added.


    When they started speaking about the two three-star clans, all three half-step Void God Realms had solemn expressions and fear in their eyes.


    _Three-star clans. Mystic True Sacred Clan and the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan._


    All the newbies here remembered that.


    The difference between every star was enormous. Even the difference of half a star represented a huge difference in strength


    ¡°Zhao Feng.¡±


    An emotionless voice sounded within his soul.


    The next instant, a Void God Realm power descended from the sky and froze everyone¡¯s consciousness.


    Zhao Feng raised his head and saw the outline of the blue-robed King in the sky.


    ¡°Greetings, King.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately bowed. Normal experts would all feel excited or scared when a King called out their name.


    The King in blue stared at him before speaking, ¡°Come with me.¡±


    As soon as he said that, an overwhelming power raised Zhao Feng into the sky.


    He had no chance to fight back at all.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. Just how strong was the Void God Realm?


    Normal Sovereigns didn¡¯t even have the ability to think about fighting back.


    Shua! Shua!


    The blue-robed King¡¯s figure flashed once more. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng had been taken to a garden.


    The blue-robed King stood with his hands behind his back, but he didn¡¯t immediately speak.


    Just as Zhao Feng was puzzled:


    Sou!


    Old Li flew through the air and greeted the Grand Elder uneasily.


    Zhao Feng found that the pressure within the dimension of the Sacred Land was extremely strong, so even the speed of a half-step Void God Realm was restricted heavily.


    Normal True Spirit Realms probably couldn¡¯t even fly here.


    ¡°You two need to give me an explanation.¡±


    The blue-robed King spoke to the two with his back toward them.


    Zhao Feng glanced toward Old Li, and the latter¡¯s face was filled with bitterness.


    If it weren¡¯t for the Pursuit of Death, the situation wouldn¡¯t have become so complex.


    Zhao Feng had obtained the Golden Mountain Sect¡¯s guest token through the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord and entered the True Martial Sacred Land. This alone was an abuse of power.


    If it weren¡¯t for the Pursuit of Death, Old Li could¡¯ve handled that just fine since he was a half-step Void God Realm. Void God Realms lived up in the sky and didn¡¯t have the time to bother with such small situations.


    ¡°Grand Elder, this all begins with the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡­¡±


    Old Li didn¡¯t dare to conceal anything. He didn¡¯t dare to lie because the Void God intent had locked on to him.


    When mentioning the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but feel guilty. The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord took a big risk to help him.


    They soon told the King about how Zhao Feng was able to enter the Sacred Land.


    ¡°I¡¯m not interested in all that. You just need to confirm whether one thing is true or false.¡±


    The blue-robed King turned around and his eyes landed on Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was able to see his figure clearly. He was a scholarly male with an overwhelming aura.


    ¡°Are you really related to Duanmu Qing?¡±


    The eyes of the blue-robed King twinkled.


    ¡°This junior¡¯s ancestor knows him¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng explained. He told the King the same version that he told to the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.


    ¡°I¡¯ll believe you for now.¡±


    The blue-robed King wasn¡¯t suspicious. He didn¡¯t believe that someone would undergo so much risk to enter the Sacred Land if they were an outsider.


    Of course, he couldn¡¯t exclude the possibility that Zhao Feng wanted to enter the Sacred Land solely in order to escape from the Pursuit of Death.


    ¡°Go and settle Zhao Feng. I¡¯ll try to reach out to Emperor Duanmu.¡±


    The King in blue waved his hand.


    Zhao Feng and Old Li acted as if they had been pardoned and immediately left the garden.


    Right now, the main issue was to confirm the situation about Duanmu Qing.


    _The only problem would be if this Duanmu Qing somehow isn¡¯t the one that Senior Purple Saint was talking about¡­._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s emotions were unable to calm down.


    Not long after the two left the garden.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Several shining figures appeared in the garden. They were all different genders, ages, and looks.


    ¡°The bloodline aura is unusual. Although it¡¯s not of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, it¡¯s extremely close to it¡­.¡±


    An old voice sounded.


    ¡°Hmph, even if he has the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, it¡¯d be hard for him to end up in the Golden Mountain Sect. Our most important task right now is to confirm his relationship with Duanmu Qing.¡±


    ¡°Although our sect also has an Emperor, every force below three stars is wary of the Emperor of Death.¡±


    Several Kings started to discuss.


    ¡°Hehe, it doesn¡¯t matter. We won¡¯t be disadvantaged either way.¡±


    The blue-robed King smiled faintly.


    ¡°If this Zhao Feng does indeed have a relationship with Duanmu Qing, then we¡¯ll help him and gain a connection with the Mystic True Sacred Clan, which will help consolidate our position in the Sacred Land. If he isn¡¯t related to Duanmu Qing, then we¡¯ll just give him to the subordinates of the Emperor of Death and make him owe us a favor.¡±


    Hearing that, all the shining lights agreed.


    ¡°But¡­ Duanmu Qing is always in seclusion, and it¡¯s extremely hard even for Kings to see him.¡±


    A woman¡¯s voice sounded.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry. The Demigod Forgotten Garden that opens once every five hundred years is about to begin. No matter how busy Duanmu Qing is, he¡¯ll have heard of this.¡±


    The old voice said.


    ¡°Demigod Forgotten Garden? Zhe zhe, have we confirmed our picks? This is a great fortune once every five hundred years.¡±


    Back at the lesser Spiritual Peak, Zhao Feng was put in a guest room. He had the status of a guest as he stayed in the Spiritual Peak of the Golden Mountain Sect.


    ¡°Duanmu Qing¡­ I hope the person that Senior Purple Saint told me about won¡¯t have any problems.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. He felt that Duanmu Qing was someone who could affect his destiny, just like his master, Lord Guanjun. Without Lord Guanjun, Zhao Feng never would have entered the world of cultivation.


    Bo~~


    A glowing purple token appeared in his hand.

 627 Demigod Forgotten Garden

    Within the Golden Mountain Sect¡¯s Spiritual Peak, Zhao Feng took out the Purple Saint Token in the guest room.


    ¡°Now that I¡¯ve arrived at the True Martial Sacred Land, the most important task right now is to contact Duanmu Qing.¡±


    Zhao Feng put his Spiritual Sense into the Purple Saint Token.


    He tried to send information through the Purple Saint Token to the Purple Saint Ruins, which was extremely far away. If he could somehow contact the Purple Saint Partial Spirit, he might be able to see Duanmu Qing quickly.


    Although the Golden Mountain Sect had methods of contacting Duanmu Qing, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t put all his hope and fate on someone else.


    However, there was no response even after a long time.


    Maybe the Purple Saint Ruins was too far away, or maybe the Spiritual Sacred Land was a separate dimension that made it hard for information to travel out.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng tried again multiple times, but it was like sinking stones into the ocean.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath and shook his head faintly.


    He wasn¡¯t surprised that the news couldn¡¯t travel out.


    After trying and ending in failure, Zhao Feng silently put the Purple Saint Token away.


    At the same time, in a clean and elegant room in a main Spiritual Peak in the center of the Sacred Land.


    ¡°Hmm? That aura just now¡­¡±


    There was a blurry figure of a male with hair as white as snow surrounded by light.


    The light around him started to fade, and reminiscence appeared on the male¡¯s face as he murmured in a low tone, ¡°Was it just me?¡±


    Immediately following that, an ancient Divine Sense spread across the entire True Martial Sacred Land, and it even went outside the Sacred Land.


    In that instant, the hearts of every expert in the Sacred Land trembled. Even Void God Realm Kings felt uneasy.


    ¡°Whose Divine Sense is this?¡±


    ¡°There aren¡¯t many Emperors in the Sacred Land with such strong Divine Sense.¡±


    The ancient Divine Sense made the upper echelon of the Sacred Land break out into discussion.


    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±


    Only a small number of Emperors knew who owned the Divine Sense, and they were moved by it.


    The powerful Divine Sense scanned across the Sacred Land and stopped around five or six lesser Spiritual Peaks for a moment.


    In the Golden Mountain Sect¡¯s lesser Spiritual Peak, the hearts of several Kings and half-step Void God Realms felt uneasy, including the King in blue. The Divine Sense of an Emperor actually stopped around their peak for a moment.


    At this point, Zhao Feng left his room and went for a walk to see the environment of the Sacred Land.


    ¡°Little Friend Zhao.¡±


    Old Li respectfully stayed by his side, and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but feel weird. The Golden Mountain Sect sent a half-step Void God Realm to stay by a measly Small Origin Core Realm¡¯s side?


    ¡°Little friend, this is an order from the higher-ups.¡±


    Old Li was slightly bitter. Before they managed to learn the full truth, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t to leave the Golden Mountain Sect¡¯s lesser Spiritual Peak. At the end of the day, the Golden Mountain Sect was still wary of Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t take it to heart. Having a half-step King next to him meant that things would be a lot smoother wherever he went.


    Old Li took Zhao Feng throughout the Golden Mountain Sect and introduced all the sceneries within.


    ¡°Hm? It¡¯s Elder Li.¡±


    ¡°And Zhao Feng!¡±


    Two voices came from the building in front.


    Zhao Feng looked over and saw a few young men and women near the building. They weren¡¯t very old, so they seemed to be from the Golden Mountain Sect¡¯s younger generation.


    The two that spoke were a beauty in white and a skinny male.


    Zhao Feng knew these two; he sparred with them back in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    Seeing Zhao Feng here, the two were overjoyed.


    ¡°Greetings, Elder.¡±


    The disciples all bowed toward Old LI.


    ¡°This is Little Friend Zhao, a guest of the Golden Mountain Sect. Yin Yuan, you and the other geniuses of the same generation can interact with each other.¡±


    Old Li smiled and said. He purposely called out a tall youth who seemed to be around thirty years old, and his aura stood out amongst the rest.


    _Great Origin Core Realm._


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take another look at the youth called Yin Yuan. If he was correct, this was the Senior Martial Brother Yin the beauty in white and the skinny male talked about back then. He was the number one genius of the Golden Mountain Sect.


    ¡°Relax, Elder. I will take good care of the guest.¡±


    Yin Yuan was pretty respectful toward Elder Li. With Elder Li¡¯s help, Zhao Feng, Yin Yuan, and some other geniuses from the Golden Mountain Sect introduced themselves.


    Most of them were Personal or Core disciples of the Golden Mountain Sect.


    Amongst them, the pretty girl in white and the skinny male only just entered the Sacred Land, so their status was low in comparison to the others. Therefore, the two acted warmer toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hehe, you youngsters should interact with each other. This old man will leave for a while.¡±


    Elder Li smiled and left.


    Before he left, Elder Li gave Yin Yuan a warning through his Divine Sense.


    ¡°Elder means that I¡¯m not to offend this Zhao Feng and it¡¯s best for me to have a good relationship with him?¡±


    Yin Yuan couldn¡¯t help but inspect Zhao Feng closely.


    Being the only disciple that had reached the Great Origin Core Realm in the Golden Mountain Sect, Yin Yuan¡¯s eyesight and knowledge were far better than the others.


    If it weren¡¯t for Elder Li¡¯s warning, he wouldn¡¯t have paid much attention to Zhao Feng.


    However, after inspecting Zhao Feng closely, Yin Yuan was puzzled.


    In his eyes, Zhao Feng was indeed a genius. The aura from his bloodline and his cultivation surpassed others at the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm. But even then, why did he need to purposely suck up to Zhao Feng?


    He, Yin Yuan, was one of the top prodigies even in the Sacred Land.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng¡¯s strength is incredibly great. We sparred with him before we entered the Sacred Land, and we were nowhere close to him.¡±


    The skinny male in the group sighed.


    ¡°Apart from Senior Martial Brother Yin, we¡¯ve never seen such a genius before¡­.¡±


    The beauty in white praised from the bottom of her heart.


    Zhao Feng had defeated the two instantly, and at that time, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was the same as theirs ¨C only the early-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    The praise from the two came from the bottom of their hearts, but those nearby who heard them felt somewhat unhappy.


    ¡°Hmph, how can this brat be compared to Senior Martial Brother Yin?¡±


    There were several super geniuses of the Golden Mountain Sect present who had reached the late and peak stages of the Small Origin Core Realm.


    These super geniuses laughed coldly in their hearts.


    Hearing them, Senior Martial Brother Yin Yuan smiled without saying anything.


    Seeing that no one really believed them, the expressions of the pretty girl in white and the skinny male started to waver.


    Zhao Feng, Yin Yuan, and some other geniuses then started to talk white they sipped tea.


    ¡°It seems as if Brother Yin has just broken through to the Great Origin Core Realm not long ago.¡±


    Zhao Feng said nonchalantly.


    _Hmm?_


    Brother Yin was slightly surprised.


    Zhao Feng just arrived at the Golden Mountain Sect, how did he know he only just broke through to the Great Origin Core Realm?


    One had to know that, after half a month, he had consolidated his foundation, and his aura was concealed.


    It was hard for those with lower cultivation to detect the cultivation of those higher than them.


    ¡°Everyone knows that Brother Yin broke through to the Great Origin Core Realm two months ago¡­.¡±


    A late-stage Small Origin Core Realm brown-haired male said faintly.


    The brown-haired male wasn¡¯t happy with how the Elders and Head disciples were treating Zhao Feng, who was only a measly middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    He ignored some details though. This was the first time that Zhao Feng had come to the Golden Mountain Sect and even seen Brother Yin, so how would he know anything about the latter¡¯s situation?


    Brother Yin, however, paid attention. If Zhao Feng could see that he had broken to the Great Origin Core Realm not long ago just from looking at him, then Zhao Feng definitely wasn¡¯t simple.


    ¡°On the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was comparable to a half-step Void God Realm, and he was able to retreat unharmed.¡±


    Colors appeared in the beauty in white¡¯s eyes as she started to talk about what happened on the Golden Dragon Scaled ship.


    In reality, none of them actually understood what happened on the Golden Dragon Scaled ship. They thought the reason they won was because of the three half-step Void God Realms, and all Zhao Feng did was stall.


    After all, the other side consisted of three half-step Kings.


    ¡°Hahahaha! A Small Origin Core Realm fighting with a half-step King? No matter how I hear it, it seems to be just a story.¡±


    The brown-haired male roared in laughter.


    Indeed. A Small Origin Core Realm fighting a half-step King only appeared in stories or legends, even if they only managed to fight for a couple breaths.


    Even Senior Martial Brother Yin couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    Everything these two were saying was too exaggerated.


    Maybe the pretty girl in white just wanted to exaggerate Zhao Feng to raise his status.


    ¡°I saw it with my own eyes. If you don¡¯t believe me, ask Elder Li!¡±


    The pretty girl in white said angrily. She felt wronged. Everything she said was the truth. She witnessed it all with her own eyes, and instead of believing her, all of them had mockery on their faces.


    If Elder Li was here, he would tell them the truth, but Elder Li wanted to give the juniors a chance to interact with each other, so he left.


    The group obviously wouldn¡¯t bother Elder Li for a small matter like this.


    ¡°Thanks for your help.¡±


    Zhao Feng acted as if everything was normal, and he gave the skinny male and the beauty in white comforting looks.


    After talking for a while, someone soon asked to spar.


    ¡°En, the once-every-five-hundred-years Demigod Forgotten Garden will be opening soon. Even the Golden Mountain Sect only has five slots available. Apparently, the competition for the Demigod Forgotten Garden is extremely fierce¡­.¡±


    Senior Martial Brother Yin nodded his head. He had just reached the Great Origin Core Realm, and he wanted to show off his skills at the once-every-five-hundred-years Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Of course, one thing that the Sacred Land didn¡¯t lack was geniuses. There were many people that even Brother Yin was wary of.


    One person alone wasn¡¯t enough in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, everyone should spar with each other. This will help us in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Of course, we can¡¯t forget our guest.¡±


    The brown-haired late-stage Small Origin Core Realm male¡¯s gaze landed playfully on Zhao Feng. Because of the ¡°bullshit¡± spoken by the beauty in white and the skinny male before, many disciples of the Golden Mountain Sect wanted to confront him.


    ¡°Demigod Forgotten Garden?¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed interest and didn¡¯t take their battle-intent to heart.


    ¡°God¡± referred to the Heavenly Divine Realm, the highest level of cultivation in the Fan Universe. Demigod referred to the peak Mystic Light Realm ¨C someone who was half a step into a God¡¯s domain.


    Even the Purple Night Sacred Lord at her peak didn¡¯t have the right to be called a Demigod.

 628 Shock

    Yin Yuan answered everything that Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°The Demigod Forgotten Garden is a secret garden left behind by an expert from the sect that was about to reach four-stars dozens of millennia ago. Apparently, that expert was only one step away from becoming a God but died from the God Tribulations.¡±


    Admiration appeared in Yin Yuan¡¯s voice.


    Four-star forces and the Heavenly Divine Realm were extremely far away even for children of Heaven. These only appeared in legends. Across the entire Cang Ocean, there wasn¡¯t even a shadow of a four-star force, and the Heavenly Divine Realm was even further away.


    ¡°Four-star super sect, could it be¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze turned toward the desolate main Spiritual Peak in the middle of the Sacred Land ¨C the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.


    ¡°Correct.¡±


    Yin Yuan¡¯s voice contained praise, ¡°The Demigod Forgotten Garden is on top of the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak. The Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak also has many other inheritances and secret dimensions. Some have even lasted since the ancient and immemorial eras.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s gaze turned toward the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak with expectation and respect.


    Zhao Feng finally understood why the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak was called that.


    The True Martial Sacred Land had existed for an extremely long time, and it contained many two-star and three-star forces. There was countless Void God Realms, and there were even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    However, not every expert was able to find a suitable inheritor before their death. These experts left either their wealth or their inheritance on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak, awaiting a suitable person.


    ¡°Those that were able to leave inheritances behind were all at least at the Void God Realm. Even the oldest Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance left behind a high-tier branch inheritance here¡­.¡±


    Everyone was full of respect when they talked about the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart also became full of respect. He didn¡¯t think that the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak had such meaning behind it. It had witnessed prodigy after prodigy, expert after expert, era after era, and it continued their legends.


    ¡°The Demigod Forgotten Garden is one of the most top-secret realms within the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak, and it contains the wealth and inheritance of a Demigod.¡±


    Yin Yuan sighed.


    The Demigod Forgotten Inheritance only opened once every five hundred years, and the entire Golden Mountain Sect only had five spots open, one of which was taken by Yin Yuan.


    The topic about the Demigod Forgotten Garden soon finished, and the Core disciples of the Golden Mountain Sect started to spar in the martial arts field.


    Two disciples soon started to fight, and Zhao Feng watched with interest.


    Although the martial arts field only had a radius of a hundred yards, there was a special array that made the inside expand to ten miles.


    Furthermore, the pressure within the Sacred Land was extremely strong; the attacks of normal True Spirit Realms could only cover dozens of yards anyway.


    Simply put, all power was restricted here.


    Of the two Golden Mountain Sect disciples, one was at the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm, and the other was at the late stage.


    The late-stage Small Origin Core Realm was the brown-haired youth from earlier.


    ¡°Chaos Sky Opening Palm!¡±


    Although the brown-haired youth¡¯s attack was slow, it was steady, and it created a mixture of five colors as it broke through everything in its path.


    The intent within the attack made even Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes light up.


    _As expected of a sect from the Sacred Land. His battle technique and bloodline allow him to easily defeat several others at the same cultivation in the outside world._


    Zhao Feng secretly nodded his head.


    It wouldn¡¯t have been easy to defeat this brown-haired youth if he hadn¡¯t reached the Origin Core Realm.


    Even the skeletal Division Leader wouldn¡¯t have a very good chance of winning against the brown-haired youth.


    Boom!


    A five-colored light in the shape of a mountain sent the other Core disciple flying.


    ¡°Brother Wan, your Chaos Sky Opening Palm¡¯s intent is almost at the Great Origin Core Realm. This one admits defeat.¡±


    The losing disciple¡¯s face was filled with bitterness.


    The brown-haired youth¡¯s cultivation, bloodline, and technique were all the best among the Small Origin Core Realm.


    After winning, the brown-haired youth glanced toward Zhao Feng with a smile, ¡°This one isn¡¯t talented and is only ranked amongst the top twenty of the Golden Mountain Sect. I would like to ask Brother Zhao for pointers.¡±


    His tone was extremely humble.


    _Top twenty?_


    Some of the core disciples revealed weird expressions.


    ¡°Hehe, Brother Wan is too humble.¡±


    ¡°That brat was so exaggerated before. He can definitely defeat a disciple who¡¯s only in the top twenty, right?¡±


    Many disciples were waiting to watch the show.


    Only the beauty in white and the skinny male were tense and uneasy. After all, they praised Zhao Feng¡¯s strength so much earlier.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯ve got to defeat him.¡±


    The beauty in white clenched her fists with expectation. She admired Zhao Feng from the depths of her heart.


    Zhao Feng shook his head and smiled. It wasn¡¯t hard for him to see that the brown-haired youth would actually be ranked amongst the top five of the Golden Mountain Sect with his strength.


    ¡°Brother Wan is too humble. Your strength should be enough to be ranked within the top five of the Golden Mountain Sect.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    Hearing that, the brown-haired youth¡¯s heart gently shook. It was obvious that Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were extremely sharp.


    ¡°Take my palm!¡±


    The brown-haired youth didn¡¯t think too much before immediately sending a five-colored mountain crushing over.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body started to become heavy when facing the attack¡¯s intent. It was rare for people of the outside world under the Great Origin Core Realm to give him such a feeling.


    __


    _Purple Destruction Wind Lightning!_


    Zhao Feng stood unmoving and swiped his hand casually, sending waves of purple-colored Wind Lightning toward the brown-haired youth¡¯s palm.


    Crack!


    The Chaos Sky Opening Palm instantly shattered in front of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning.


    Furthermore, a slightly purple remnant aura of Destruction followed through and forced the brown-haired youth to retreat.


    ¡°My Chaos Sky Opening Palm was actually¡­¡±


    The brown-haired youth revealed shock as he retreated.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even use an actual skill. Just his True Yuan alone had an aura of Destruction.


    ¡°Chaos Mountain Opening Palm ¨C Ninth Sky!¡±


    The brown-haired youth roared as he circulated his True Yuan to its peak and sent wave after wave of five-colored lights in the shape of nine mountains.


    This attack was enough to challenge those at the Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Break.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly and punched out. A purple fist travelled through the sky like a dragon and instantly smashed through the brown-haired youth¡¯s Chaos Mountain Opening Palm Ninth Sky simply and brutally.


    Crack! Crack! Boom!


    The brown-haired youth groaned in pain as purple lightning swept across him.


    ¡°So strong!¡±


    The expressions of the other geniuses changed dramatically.


    Bam!


    The smoking figure of the youth with brown hair was thrown out of the martial arts field.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Zhao Feng had controlled his power extremely well or else the brown-haired youth would have turned into dust by now.


    ¡°What shocking Wind Lightning intent. The power of his True Yuan is extremely close to the Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Even Senior Martial Brother Yin Yuan had a solemn expression.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s easy victory made the disciples of the Golden Mountain Sect replace their playfulness with wariness and fear.


    ¡°Hmph, I told you! Zhao Feng¡¯s strength is comparable to the peak geniuses of the Sacred Land.¡±


    The pretty girl in white and the skinny male felt much better.


    ¡°Let me fight.¡±


    A thick-eyebrowed youth jumped out from the crowd. His cultivation was almost at the peak Small Origin Core Realm.


    His ranking in the Golden Mountain Sect was even higher than the brown-haired youth.


    However, he only managed to last one move as well.


    Boom!


    The chaotic purple Wind Lightning draconic fist immediately broke through the thick-eyebrowed youth¡¯s attack.


    Bam!


    The thick-eyebrowed youth¡¯s body was sent flying at a speed even faster than the brown-haired youth.


    All the geniuses took in cold breaths, and even Brother Yin¡¯s face changed.


    The second strongest Core disciple of the Golden Mountain Sect, with a cultivation at the peak Small Origin Core Realm, went up.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng used the same move and sent the opponent flying once again.


    His attack had reached the level of the Great Origin Core Realm. Anyone below the Great Origin Core Realm had no chance against him at all.


    As Zhao Feng defeated the second strongest core disciple, several powerful Divine Senses travelled through the air.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng isn¡¯t simple.¡±


    A Void God Realm King said.


    ¡°From the looks of it, he can even fight with the Head disciple.¡±


    At this moment, several Kings of the Golden Mountain Sect were watching the fight below.


    Even Old Li was hiding nearby.


    ¡°How would they know how strong Zhao Feng truly is¡­?¡±


    Old Li started to remember what happened on the Golden Dragon Scaled Ship. Zhao Feng played a vital part in the fight against the three Death Guards.


    Right at this moment, Head Disciple Yin and Zhao Feng started to fight.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Two powers that had reached the level of the Great Origin Core Realm started to clash.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t as casual as before. He started to move around the martial arts field.


    __


    _After all, he¡¯s the Head disciple of a big sect._


    Zhao Feng circulated his True Yuan and even part of his bloodline power to fight Yin Yuan.


    Although Yin Yuan had only broken through to the Great Origin Core Realm not too long ago, his true strength was comparable to the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm or higher in the outside world.


    ¡°Senior Martial Brother Yin, don¡¯t lose to that brat!¡±


    The disciples watching started to sweat coldly.


    If Brother Yin Yuan lost, then the Golden Mountain Sect would lose a lot of face.


    After a hundred moves, Zhao Feng suddenly retreated from the fight and clasped his fists together with a smile, ¡°Looks like this fight will end in a draw.¡±


    Brother Yin didn¡¯t say anything. He let out a breath before giving Zhao Feng a deep glance. Instinct told him that Zhao Feng was still conserving his strength.


    In the air, several Void God Realm Kings were silent for a while.


    ¡°If this Zhao Feng went all out, Yin Yuan probably wouldn¡¯t even last ten moves.¡±


    ¡°Ten? I would say three.¡±


    The Void God Realm Kings had reached an incredible height.


    Who knew what the disciples of the Golden Mountain Sect ¨C especially Brother Yin ¨C would think if they knew what these Void God Realms were talking about?


    ¡°Hmph, I told you all. Zhao Feng¡¯s strength is comparable to Brother Yin.¡±


    The pretty girl in white said proudly.


    In the battle just now, Zhao Feng stunned the Golden Mountain Sect.


    Several Void God Realm intents travelled through the air.


    ¡°If that brat joins the Golden Mountain Sect and enters the Demigod Forgotten Garden, he¡¯ll be a dark horse.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s probably unrealistic¡­.¡±


    ¡°Oh yeah, Duanmu Qing¡¯s come out of seclusion. Is there any news from him?¡±

 629 Emperor Projection

    Right as the Void God Realms were interacting with one another:


    Sou! Sou!


    The sound of flying came from outside the Golden Mountain Sect.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡±


    ¡°Kill whoever dares to enter the Golden Mountain Sect!¡±


    Several experts on patrol roared.


    However, the people that were flying didn¡¯t show any signs that they cared.


    ¡°Hmph, a measly two-star sect isn¡¯t scared that the wind will cut their tongues?¡±


    One of flying people was a male surrounded by a dark light, and he radiated an evil aura.


    ¡°A King of the Demonic Dao!¡±


    In front of this demonic force, the regulators and the patrols around the Golden Mountain Sect felt as if their minds were restricted, and they felt it was suddenly hard to breathe.


    Weng!


    A male covered in black scales started to appear from within the black light. The man had black scales across his entire body, and he looked extremely ugly but also quite fierce.


    ¡°Elder of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan ¨C Tu Wanli!¡±


    Old Li¡¯s expression changed dramatically when his eyes landed on the newly-arrived Void God Realm King. This King was not only infamous, he also came from a three-star clan ¨C the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.


    ¡°All of you, retreat.¡±


    With a flash of blue, the blue-robed King¡¯s figure appeared, and all the Golden Mountain Sect patrols quickly retreated.


    Only Kings could fight against Kings, not to mention that the newcomer was an Elder from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.


    ¡°Hehe, may I ask why Elder Tu has come?¡±


    The blue-robed Elder was full of smiles. He didn¡¯t dare to put on any kind of act.


    In the Sacred Land, three-star forces were unparalleled superpowers, and many two-star sects were subordinate to three-star forces. Maybe ten two-star sects combined could put up a bit of a fight against a three-star force.


    At this moment, the scene in the air also shocked Zhao Feng.


    The power of the Demonic Dao King put the entire Golden Mountain Sect in a tense atmosphere, and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but look over.


    There were several familiar figures next to Tu Wanli.


    ¡°Death Guards!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped, and his face lost color.


    There was a total of four Death Guards, as well as a warm youth and a white-eyed little girl.


    ¡°Is the Golden Mountain Sect hiding a thief named Zhao Feng?¡±


    Tu Wanli asked loudly as he scanned his Divine Sense across the entire lesser Spiritual Peak with a cruel smile.


    ¡°Zhao Feng?¡±


    The blue-robed Elder paused, and his expression became somewhat ugly.


    The Elder of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan had come to the Golden Mountain Sect to cause trouble without any wariness or fear.


    ¡°Hehe, according to my news, a thief named Zhao Feng is hiding in the Golden Mountain Sect¡¯s territory.¡±


    Tu Wanli saw the expression in the blue-robed King¡¯s eyes.


    At the same time, the warm youth and the four Death Guards flew into the air and used their Spiritual Sense or their Divine Sense to search around.


    ¡°There! Found him!¡±


    A Death Guard exclaimed as his eyes landed on a genius near the martial arts field.


    ¡°You are Zhao Feng?¡±


    The warm youth revealed a smile, as if welcoming an old friend.


    The four Death Guards all looked gloatingly toward Zhao Feng in the crowd.


    ¡°Take him!¡±


    Tu Wanli laughed and ordered.


    The warm youth and the four Death Guards leapt toward Zhao Feng without hesitation.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    A powerful force of a King descended from the sky, which made the warm youth and the four Death Guards freeze.


    This force came from the blue-robed King.


    ¡°What? The Golden Mountain Sect wants to stop the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan?¡±


    Tu Wanli¡¯s expression became dim.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is a guest of the Golden Mountain Sect. Even if the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan wants to take him, you need to give an explanation.¡±


    The blue-robed Elder¡¯s expression was unhappy, but he was crying bitterly in his heart.


    There were several other Kings in the Golden Mountain Sect, and they weren¡¯t scared of Tu Wanli. The only problem was that Tu Wanli might be representing the entire Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.


    Furthermore, Tu Wanli¡¯s status wasn¡¯t simple. His master was an ancient Emperor who had a high status in the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.


    ¡°Explanation? I¡¯m representing my master ¨C the Scarlet Demonic Emperor ¨C in capturing Zhao Feng.¡±


    Tu Wanli snickered coldly as he took out a scarlet-and-black token.


    Weng~~


    An ancient intent of a demonic Emperor flashed across the scarlet-and-black token.


    In that instant, the hearts of some Kings in the Golden Mountain Sect trembled.


    The Void God Realm was split into the early, middle, late, and peak stages.


    Only someone at the peak stages of the Void God Realm ¨C someone whose soul had evolved ¨C could be called an Emperor.


    Emperors stood at the peak of the Void God Realm. As long as their soul wasn¡¯t destroyed, it was difficult to kill them. Therefore, the lifespan of an Emperor was extremely long; they could live dozens of thousands of years.


    ¡°It¡¯s the intent of the Scarlet Demonic Emperor. No wonder Tu Wanli is so confident.¡±


    The blue-robed King took in a cold breath.


    The Scarlet Demonic Emperor was extremely famous among the Sacred Lands. Even the Emperor that was always in seclusion within the Golden Mountain Sect wasn¡¯t his match.


    Kings and Emperors were forbidden-level powers of two- and three-star forces, and the stronger Emperors could destroy an entire two-star sect, such as the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Sigh.¡±


    When Tu Wanli took out the item representing the Scarlet Demonic Emperor, the Kings from the Golden Mountain Sect couldn¡¯t help but sigh in sympathy.


    In this situation, the Golden Mountain Sect couldn¡¯t do anything else.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, let¡¯s see how you will run away this time.¡±


    ¡°Even if you hide in the Sacred Land, we can pressure a two-star sect using our connections with the three-star forces. No one can protect you any longer.¡±


    The warm youth and the four Death Guards revealed victorious smiles.


    At this moment, after the Void God Realm power faded away, Zhao Feng was left alone. No one would protect him.


    ¡°Looks like the Emperor of Death still has some ability. He can actually affect three-star forces in the True Martial Sacred Land.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.


    _Hmm?_


    The warm youth and the four Death Guards felt that something was wrong.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng had neither protection nor a path of retreat. How was he able to be so calm?


    Weng~


    A purple-colored token trembled slightly in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm.


    Hmph!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s smile became bigger and bigger.


    Not long ago, the silent Purple Saint Token suddenly sensed something, and the aura wasn¡¯t coming from the Purple Saint Ruins ¨C it was coming from the center of the Sacred Land.


    The warm youth and the four Death Guards felt slightly uneasy, but they still charged at Zhao Feng.


    ¡°You are the subordinates of the Emperor of Death?¡±


    A calm voice sounded, and it seemed both close and far away at the same time. It was as if space was clashing with itself.


    The next instant, a powerful Divine Sense passed through the air, and the power of an Emperor caused the Heaven and Earth to shake.


    Wah!


    The four Death Guards all spat out a mouthful of blood.


    ¡°Emperor!¡±


    The warm youth¡¯s figure shook as he suppressed his boiling blood and soul.


    ¡°That Divine Sense, could it be¡­!?¡±


    Tu Wanli¡¯s heart shook as he shouted out.


    Weng~


    The power of an Emperor caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to roar.


    The figure of a hundred-yard-tall male with white hair appeared, and it was surrounded by light. It seemed as if he was a god.


    ¡°A Void God Projection!¡±


    ¡°A mere Void God Projection is this strong?¡±


    The hearts of the Golden Mountain Sect Kings shook.


    ¡°Greetings¡­ Emperor.¡±


    Tu Wanli bowed his head in front of the hundred-yard-tall white-haired male. His face was completely red, and his breathing was heavy.


    Plop! Plop!


    The four Death Guards couldn¡¯t handle the pressure, and they fell to their knees.


    Only the warm youth barely managed to hold on. He looked up at the Emperor¡¯s Projection with gritted teeth as he spoke in a trembling tone, ¡°You know my Master?¡±


    ¡°The Emperor of Death? I¡¯ve seen him a few times. It makes me envious that he has such an excellent disciple like you.¡±


    The Void God Projection spoke emotionlessly.


    At this moment, the entire True Martial Sacred Land broke out into discussion, and many Divine Senses scanned toward the lesser Spiritual Peak of the Golden Mountain Sect.


    ¡°It¡¯s Duanmu Qing¡¯s Void God Projection!¡±


    ¡°We haven¡¯t seen Duanmu Qing¡¯s strength in the past thousand years. I didn¡¯t think that he¡¯d be this strong.¡±


    Some of the Kings and Emperors within the True Martial Sacred Land were woken up by the force of the projection, including Tu Wanli¡¯s master, the Scarlet Demonic Emperor.


    ¡°From the looks of this Void God Projection, it seems that Duanmu Qing¡¯s strength is almost unparalleled among Emperors.¡±


    The Scarlet Demonic Emperor¡¯s expression was solemn.


    He watched silently and didn¡¯t do anything, but he was also puzzled. Why did Duanmu Qing involve himself in this matter?


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng on the lesser Spiritual Peak finally spoke.


    ¡°Greetings, Senior Duanmu. I¡¯ve come here under the will of Senior Purple Saint.¡±


    Zhao Feng held out the Purple Saint Token and bowed toward the Void God Projection in the air.


    _Senior Purple Saint¡­ which expert could that be?_


    Divine Senses travelled throughout the Golden Mountain Sect¡¯s lesser Spiritual Peak.


    The Kings from the Golden Mountain Sect, Tu Wanli, and other Emperors gently murmured these words.


    ¡°Purple Saint? Could it be¡­?¡±


    The heart of an old King in the Golden Mountain Sect shook.


    ¡°Purple Night Sacred Lord!¡±


    Several old Emperors within the True Martial Sacred Land exclaimed.


    ¡°It¡¯s definitely the Purple Night Sacred Lord. Not many people in the entire Sacred Land can be compared to her¡­.¡±


    ¡°If I remember correctly, the Purple Night Sacred Lord is Duanmu Qing¡¯s aunt, and she comes from a legendary family in a dynasty far away.¡±


    Some old people remembered the past.


    In the sky, the figure of the male with white hair couldn¡¯t help but reminisce


    ¡°Come with me.¡±


    The male swiped his hand.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body was like a piece of paper as he was dragged along by the image of the male and disappeared from the lesser Spiritual Peak.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng and the Emperor Projection disappeared.


    Hu~


    The experts near the Golden Mountain Sect, including the Divine Sense of a few Kings, all let out a breath.


    Tu Wanli¡¯s expression kept flickering, while the warm youth and the four Death Guards had ugly expressions.


    None of them would have thought that Zhao Feng had connections with a peak Emperor of the Sacred Land.


    Even more incredibly, there was a fallen Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back. Even if a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord died, their effect on the future was immeasurable.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, it seems like your history is stronger than I had imagined. Looks like it was worth it for the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord and I to send you to the Sacred Land.¡±


    Old Li let out a long breath.

 630 Disciple Ceremony

    In the center of the Sacred Land, the three main Spiritual Peaks seemed to connect to the heavens.


    The centermost one that was in ruins was the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.


    The left and right main Spiritual Peaks were held by the two three-star forces.


    The left main Spiritual Peak was the Mystic True Sacred Clan¡¯s territory.


    On top of the Mystic True Sacred Clan¡¯s main Spiritual Peak, within a pure, clean, and elegant room, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped up and down as he looked at the white-haired man in front of him with respect.


    This was Duanmu Qing.


    Duanmu Qing¡¯s hair was pure white, and his eyes lit up like stars. His appearance could be said to be perfect. His skin was white and as smooth as marble.


    Furthermore, this Emperor had a warm and calm aura. His every movement and action seemed to be a gentle spring breeze.


    All in all, this person seemed to be perfection, yet extremely close and warm to others.


    ¡°You are Zhao Feng? There¡¯s no need to be nervous. This is the True Martial Sacred Land. Even if the Emperor of Death himself arrives, he can¡¯t harm you.¡±


    Duanmu Qing inspected Zhao Feng and gave a warm smile.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s emotions started to calm down.


    Earlier, Duanmu Qing used his Emperor Projection and made the Death Guards kneel. The power of that shocked Zhao Feng, but he started to regain his calm. His sharp senses could see the impatience hiding within the depths of Duanmu Qing¡¯s eyes.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to guess that Duanmu Qing really wanted to know what had happened to the Purple Night Sacred Lord.


    However, Duanmu Qing had been raised nicely, and his actions were elegant. He didn¡¯t rush Zhao Feng; he calmed Zhao Feng down instead.


    Without Duanmu Qing asking, Zhao Feng took out the Purple Saint Token and started to talk about what had happened in the Purple Saint Ruins, as well as his first and second visits.


    He did talk about a little bit about himself protecting the Purple Saint Ruins, but he placed importance on how Zhao Yufei had been picked the Purple Night Sacred Lord as the inheritor, as well as the current situation of the Purple Saint Ruins.


    When Duanmu Qing heard the danger that the Purple Saint Ruins was in, it was hard for him to conceal his worry.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that Aunt Purple Night still hid a secret realm in the world, or that she would be able to pick someone with the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races as the inheritor.¡±


    Duanmu Qing sighed.


    After knowing the relationship between Zhao Feng and the Purple Night Sacred Lord, Duanmu Qing¡¯s gaze toward Zhao Feng was much warmer.


    It was as if he was looking at a descendant of his.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how did you offend the Emperor of Death? This Emperor has the Eye of Death, and no one under the Mystic Light Realm is confident that they can defeat him.¡±


    Duanmu Qing¡¯s eyes revealed solemnness.


    Every King and Emperor was wary of the Emperor of Death.


    Zhao Feng then talked about him meeting Grandmaster Yin Kong and how he triggered a Token of Death when he killed him, which brought the Pursuit of Death upon him.


    However, Zhao Feng said nothing about the God¡¯s Eye. The God Eye only increased the Emperor of Death¡¯s desire to capture Zhao Feng.


    ¡°So that¡¯s what happened. You triggered the Pursuit of Death when protecting the Purple Saint Ruins¡­.¡±


    Duanmu Qing¡¯s face was filled with praise and gratitude.


    Even after meeting an Emperor, Zhao Feng managed to quickly calm down. This calmness he had wasn¡¯t something other geniuses had.


    However, Duanmu Qing didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng had the ninth God¡¯s Eye. After all, he wasn¡¯t a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes. Although he realized that Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline was unusual, he didn¡¯t relate it to a God Eye.


    The Emperor of Death was just a descendant of a God Eye and yet he was already so incredibly strong. Those with God Eyes were one of a kind, and they were extremely far away even for Emperors.


    An hour later, Duanmu Qing had understood everything, including some of the minor details.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if you want to stay in the Sacred Land, you first need an identity.¡±


    Duanmu Qing¡¯s eyes were filled with warmth and love, and Zhao Feng¡¯s face changed.


    It was obvious that Emperor Duanmu was going to get Zhao Feng an identity. This was a dream for someone that wanted to enter the Sacred Lands, and even for those in a three-star force, and yet it could be accomplished by Duanmu Qing in just one sentence.


    What kind of identity would Duanmu Qing give him? Zhao Feng started to guess.


    ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll take you in as my personal disciple. That will help you in the Mystic True Sacred Clan.¡±


    Duanmu Qing smiled and said.


    _Personal disciple!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes bulged. He didn¡¯t expect that at all.


    Becoming a Personal disciple of an Emperor would be a turning point in life that would completely affect his destiny.


    ¡°What¡­ are you not willing?¡±


    Duanmu Qing smiled.


    ¡°This disciple is willing.¡±


    Zhao Feng bowed down.


    He now had two masters since the beginning of his cultivation that had changed his fate.


    ¡°Hehe. Zhao Feng, I¡¯m taking you in as my disciple not just because of Aunt Purple Night, but also because I am confident in my eyes.¡±


    Duanmu Qing smiled. His eyes were filled with wisdom. How could an Emperor such as him not see Zhao Feng¡¯s body, bloodline, and potential?


    Simply put, Zhao Feng had the qualifications to become his Personal disciple on his own merits.


    If it were just a normal genius who had a relationship with the Purple Night Sacred Lord, Duanmu Qing would take them in, but only as an in-name disciple.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you can stay here for now. I¡¯ll hold a disciple ceremony in a couple days.¡±


    Duanmu Qing said.


    _Disciple ceremony?_


    Zhao Feng paused. An Emperor¡¯s disciple ceremony would be rather awesome, but that didn¡¯t seem to be how Duanmu Qing usually acted. The feeling that Duanmu Qing gave him was that he was low-key and peaceful, not a showoff.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be going to the Tianlu Islands Zone soon, and you need an identity that the public knows before then.¡±


    Duanmu Qing explained.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng understood. The reason why Duanmu Qing was going to hold a ceremony was to allow Zhao Feng to integrate into the Mystic True Sacred Clan faster and give him some protection. If everyone knew that Zhao Feng was Emperor Duanmu Qing¡¯s disciple, they would be wary of him.


    Three days later, Duanmu Qing held a disciple ceremony in his palace.


    The disciple ceremony wasn¡¯t publicized; it was limited to the upper echelon of every force, as well as some Core disciples. However, the number of Kings and Emperors in attendance wasn¡¯t small.


    There were countless Sovereign Lords and half-step Void God Realms.


    On the ceremony stage, Zhao Feng bowed toward Duanmu Qing. This ceremony shook the Mystic True Sacred Clan, and news spread throughout the two main Spiritual Peaks and the thirty-three two-star sects.


    Zhao Feng also saw the Kings from the Golden Mountain Sect at the ceremony.


    The blue-robed King was extremely warm toward Zhao Feng, as if the latter was his ancestor.


    ¡°Congratulations, Little Friend Zhao.¡±


    Old Li was full of smiles.


    Zhao Feng talked with Old Li alone for a while and told him to send the news to the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord. The Eternally Sealed Palace Lord helped a lot in allowing him to enter the Sacred Land.


    ¡°I definitely will.¡±


    Old Li nodded his head. He knew how terrifying Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength was, and now he would soar even higher with Emperor Duanmu Qing¡¯s guidance.


    Zhao Feng also met a few other Core disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan at the ceremony.


    The Core disciples of the three-star Mystic True Sacred Clan were mainly the disciples of Emperors.


    The Mystic True Sacred Clan had at least seven or eight Emperors, and Duanmu Qing had a rather high status amongst them.


    ¡°It¡¯s him¡­!!?¡±


    Two Core disciples stared at Zhao Feng with bulging eyes and open mouths. These two were a short-haired youth and a tall, skinny youth.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Jiang, what¡¯s up? Do you know this Zhao Feng?¡±


    Another Core disciple asked in surprise.


    The short-haired youth and the skinny male looked at each other with shock.


    These two were the two that had appeared at the Void Ocean Arena ¨C Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    As if sensing something, Zhao Feng looked over at the two.


    Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin, these two disciples of the Sacred Land, had given Zhao Feng a deep impression. This was especially so for Jiang Fan, who had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and revealed terrifying strength in the arena.


    At that time, Zhao Feng was only at the half-step Origin Core Realm and probably couldn¡¯t even block one blow from Jiang Fan.


    However, at this moment, the ones that were surprised were Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin.


    ¡°It¡¯s only been a year and his cultivation has already caught up to mine, and now he has an Emperor for a master¡­.¡±


    Jiang Fan¡¯s heart shook. He couldn¡¯t accept this.


    He spent an entire year of hard work to break through to the middle-stage of the Origin Core Realm. In terms of status, he was a Core disciple of a three-star force in the Sacred Land, and now Zhao Feng was on the same level as him with just a single ceremony.


    ¡°Senior Martial Brothers.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled as he walked over and greeted Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin.


    Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin¡¯s smiles were slightly forced as they greeted Zhao Feng in return.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s current status was on par with theirs, they had looked down on Zhao Feng one year ago and thought that they wouldn¡¯t have any communications ever again. Therefore, when Zhao Feng had asked the two of them for help, they declined.


    ¡°Hehe, Emperor Gu Luo, it seems as if your disciple with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races seems to know Zhao Feng.¡±


    Emperor Duanmu Qing smiled as he talked with another Elder. This Elder was Emperor Gu Luo, Jiang Fan¡¯s master.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline seems to be on par with a normal Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. What¡¯s more strange though is that even I can¡¯t see through his eye-bloodline.¡±


    Emperor Gu Luo praised.


    Normal people were too far away from Emperors, but every Emperor present went to congratulate Emperor Duanmu Qing when they saw Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Jiang Fan, that Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline and potential aren¡¯t any weaker than yours. You need to talk and interact with him more in the future.¡±


    Emperor Gu Luo¡¯s Divine Sense sounded in Jiang Fan¡¯s head.


    ¡°This disciple understands.¡±


    Jiang Fan¡¯s heart was filled with mixed emotions.


    Firstly, Emperor Duanmu Qing¡¯s strength and status were slightly higher than even his Master¡¯s.


    Secondly, in his master¡¯s eyes, Zhao Feng¡¯s potential wasn¡¯t lower than his own.


    Jiang Fan didn¡¯t doubt any of the above, especially the second point. Who knew what kind of fortune Zhao Feng had received for him to catch up in just one years¡¯ time?

 631 Replacing

    At the disciple ceremony, Duanmu Qing retracted his gaze and started to communicate with the other Emperors present.


    ¡°Elders, I have something to discuss with all of you.¡±


    Duanmu Qing suddenly spoke. The Emperors exchanged glances, and some of them revealed thoughtful expressions.


    ¡°Emperor Duanmu, is this related to the Demigod Forgotten Garden?¡±


    Emperor Gu Luo smiled.


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    Duanmu Qing nodded his head, ¡°The list of people going to the Demigod Forgotten Garden has already been decided and, usually, the spots wouldn¡¯t change.¡±


    Hearing up to there, the other Emperors already understood what Duanmu Qing was trying to say.


    He wanted to get his disciple a spot to enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    If it were in the past, when the list still hadn¡¯t been decided yet, it wouldn¡¯t have been hard for Duanmu Qing to get a spot due to his status and strength. The problem was that the list was already confirmed.


    ¡°The Demigod Forgotten Garden is split into the nominated and the open-competition sections. It¡¯s hard to change the list of people from the open-competition section, so we can only switch the nominated section.¡±


    Emperor Gu Luo said deeply.


    The True Martial Sacred Clan had a total of fifty spots for the Demigod Forgotten Garden. This was ten times more than the Golden Mountain Sect, a peak two-star force.


    However, being a three-star superpower, the Mystic True Sacred Clan¡¯s geniuses were as bright as stars, and there were even prodigies with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    There were dozens of Emperors and Kings present, and every King and Emperor each had at least a couple disciples. Therefore, the competition for the fifty spots was extremely fierce.


    ¡°There¡¯s ten nominated spots. How about this¡­¡±


    Emperor Gu Luo soon had an idea, and the Emperors interacted with their Divine Senses before they soon came to a conclusion.


    ¡°Looks like that¡¯s the only way.¡±


    Emperor Duanmu Qing sighed.


    Nominated geniuses all had strong backgrounds, so trying to switch someone in or out would definitely offend someone.


    However, the Demigod Forgotten Garden only appeared once every five hundred years, and Emperor Duanmu Qing had finally obtained a disciple, who was also related to his Aunt. He would definitely provide as much help as he possibly could to his new disciple.


    As time passed, the disciple ceremony was starting to come to an end.


    Zhao Feng met many Core disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    ¡°Head disciple Nan Gongsheng didn¡¯t come.¡±


    ¡°Nan Gongsheng¡¯s been cultivating a secret technique in the Sacred Land for the past half-year, and he already reached the half-step Void God Realm long ago.¡±


    Some of the Core disciples discussed.


    Nan Gongsheng was the number one genius of the Mystic True Sacred Clan. He was also one of the top geniuses amongst the entire Sacred Land.


    When talking about Nan Gongsheng, even Jiang Fan, who had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, revealed respect.


    ¡°If my cultivation reaches the Great Origin Core Realm, I¡¯ll be able to fight even someone at the half-step Void God Realm.¡±


    Jiang Fan clenched his fists.


    His talent and bloodline potential were amongst the best within the Mystic True Sacred Clan, but he was only in his twenties at the moment; he wasn¡¯t able to catch up to those other geniuses that were already in their thirties.


    ¡°Brother Jiang, don¡¯t be angry. There¡¯s only two geniuses in the entire Sacred Land with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. In the future, your true opponent will be Meng Xi from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.¡±


    Chen Yilin patted his shoulder.


    In reality, with his Ten Thousand Ancient Races Bloodline, Jiang Fan¡¯s strength had already surpassed some Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords.


    ¡°There¡¯s still three months left till the Demigod Forgotten Garden. I will charge into the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses like Brother Chen.¡±


    Battle-intent glowed in Jiang Fan¡¯s eyes, and his bloodline seemed to burn. His fighting will had been ignited during this disciple ceremony, all because of the pressure from Zhao Feng.


    The change in Jiang Fan didn¡¯t escape Emperor Gu Luo¡¯s eyes, and he secretly nodded his head. In the past, Jiang Fan was extremely arrogant due to his Ten Thousand Ancient Races Bloodline, so he didn¡¯t put in too much effort into his cultivation.


    ¡°Fan¡¯er, I will teach you myself for the next three months.¡±


    Emperor Gu Luo¡¯s Divine Senses sounded in his head.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    Jiang Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart. His goal was to become one of the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses. Only with more strength would he be able to come out on top in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Emperor Gu Luo¡¯s eyes scanned over Emperor Duanmu, and he thought that the latter¡¯s disciple also had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. There was no way he would lose to Emperor Duanmu and his disciple.


    Half a day later, the disciple ceremony came to an end. From now on, Zhao Feng was Duanmu Qing¡¯s official disciple and a member of a three-star superpower.


    Zhao Feng understood Duanmu Qing¡¯s intentions.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if everything goes to plan, you will receive a spot to enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden, but at the same time, you need to be ready to be challenged.¡±


    Duanmu Qing said before he left.


    __


    _Demigod Forgotten Garden?_


    Zhao Feng shook. He was overfilled with surprise and joy.


    He had talked to some Core disciples during the disciple ceremony and found that those entering the Demigod Forgotten Garden had already been confirmed. He didn¡¯t expect Duanmu Qing to help him get a nominated spot.


    ¡°Thank you, Master.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was filled with gratitude. Duanmu Qing would have had to pay a price to obtain this spot because there was more than just one or two Emperors in a three-star superpower. The number of Kings alone had reached dozens.


    Furthermore, above Emperors were Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    After returning to where he was staying, Zhao Feng sat down and tried to calm himself down.


    After meeting Duanmu Qing, his status, identity, and his entire life had been flipped.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes looked toward the garden outside, and the moonlight filled the garden with a silver glow.


    He didn¡¯t know why, but his thoughts suddenly drifted toward the Azure Flower Continent.


    In his mind, the image of a quiet, elegant goddess appeared.


    ¡°True Martial Sacred Land¡­ Demigod Forgotten Garden¡­ I need to grasp this chance.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and started to cultivate.


    Now that he had arrived in the True Martial Sacred Land, he had already completed half of his journey.


    In the morning of the second day:


    ¡°Zhao Feng, get the fuck out here! Let¡¯s see who dares to take my spot after entering the Sacred Clan.¡±


    A voice full of hatred sounded from outside.


    Many experts and geniuses from the Mystic True Sacred Land were standing outside.


    The owner of the voice was a youth who had angry eyes, and his expression was twisted.


    ¡°Brother Zuo Hong, your nominated spot was taken by that Zhao Feng?¡±


    The disciples outside were extremely sympathetic.


    In terms of background, Zuo Hong¡¯s master was an old Void God Realm King who had real power. In terms of cultivation, he had reached the late stages of the Small Origin Core Realm, and he wasn¡¯t even thirty years old yet.


    As the chattering sounded outside, a blue-haired youth walked out.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯ve finally come out.¡±


    Many disciples had angry expressions.


    ¡°It¡¯s utterly shameless how you used your identity as a disciple of an Emperor to steal a spot.¡±


    Many people were sympathetic toward the ¡°victim.¡± After all, the spot had already belonged to Zuo Hong.


    ¡°I don¡¯t dare to disobey the orders of the upper echelon, but I want to see if Brother Zhao has the ability and qualifications to replace me.¡±


    Zuo Hong snickered coldly.


    His master had told him to do this.


    Not many people were on the same level as Emperor Duanmu in the Clan, and the Emperor Projection that day increased Duanmu Qing¡¯s fame even further.


    However, although they couldn¡¯t disobey him on the surface, they could use other tricks.


    If Zuo Hong defeated Zhao Feng, then it would be hard for the disciple of Emperor Duanmu to take his spot ¡°righteously.¡± After all, even in three-star superpowers, strength was everything; three-star superpowers wouldn¡¯t waste a spot on someone useless.


    All he needed to do was defeat Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, Zuo Hong¡¯s master could also ask other Emperors for help. If it came to the worst, things could be reported to the Grand Elder.


    The plan was complete. Zuo Hong only needed to do one thing; challenge Zhao Feng. That was the first step.


    ¡°Okay, I accept your challenge.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t hesitate at all.


    Yesterday, Emperor Duanmu Qing already warned him. Those that were able to become Emperors were all extremely wise.


    A while later, hundreds of people had gathered outside an ancient arena stage within the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    There were many Core disciples present.


    ¡°Brother Chen and Brother Nan are both here¡­.¡±


    Many Core disciples in the crowd glanced at two figures.


    Chen Yilin and Brother Nan were expressionless as they looked at the two figures on the stage. Their cultivations had reached the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Brother Chen and Brother Nan are both within the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses.¡±


    ¡°Apparently, they¡¯ve challenged half-step Void God Realms before.¡±


    The eyes of the crowd were filled with respect.


    At this point, on the stage, Zhao Feng and Zuo Hong were floating above a mountain.


    The stage of the Mystic True Sacred Clan was extremely profound; it had a small dimension within it that could replicate different sceneries, such as mountains, streams, and rivers.


    People were looking forward to this battle.


    There were more than a dozen Void God Realm Divine Senses in the air. There were even Emperor Divine Senses.


    ¡°Hmph, everything¡¯s ready. As long as Zuo Hong wins, I will ask the Grand Elder to put this right.¡±


    A Void God Realm King Divine Sense looked down with coldness.


    ¡°Brother Zuo Hong, just fighting isn¡¯t interesting.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Zuo Hong paused slightly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have a bet. If you win, I¡¯ll just directly give the spot to you.¡±


    Zhao Feng spoke.


    ¡°You really mean that? You¡¯ll give the spot to me?¡±


    Zuo Hong was overjoyed. He didn¡¯t think it would be this easy.


    ¡°As long as you can last more than ten moves, victory is yours. But¡­ what will you do if you lose?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked slowly.


    _Ten moves?_


    Zuo Hong paused, and the entire crowd broke out into discussion.


    ¡°Hahaha, ten moves? Brat, you¡¯re too cocky. It seems like you don¡¯t know the strength of a Core disciple of a three-star superpower. We all have the strength to challenge those with higher cultivation.¡±


    Hearing this, Zuo Hong was filled with happiness.


    Although he was only at the late stages of the Small Origin Core Realm, he had defeated Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords in the outside world.

 632 Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses

    On top of the battle stage in the Sacred Land, all the disciples and experts of the clan watched with surprised expressions.


    ¡°Ten moves? Zhao Feng still dares to be so arrogant?¡±


    ¡°This brat just became a Core disciple of the Mystic True Sacred Clan, and Zuo Hong¡¯s cultivation is higher than his.¡±


    Not many out of the couple hundred spectators thought well of Zhao Feng. After all, Zuo Hong was an old Core disciple who seemed to surpass Zhao Feng in every aspect.


    Furthermore, that brat Zhao Feng arrogantly proposed a ten-move bet.


    ¡°What, you scared?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    The reason he came up with a ten-move bet was to prove that he had the strength and potential to replace someone.


    If he won such a bet, no one would mock him or disdain his master¡¯s ¨C Duanmu Qing¡¯s ¨C name.


    ¡°Why would I be scared? If I lose, I will apologize to you and retreat whenever I see you.¡±


    Zuo Hong laughed. He seemed to have already obtained victory.


    His heart was overfilled with joy as he looked at Zhao Feng like he was looking at a retard.


    ¡°Hong¡¯er¡­ don¡¯t underestimate Zhao Feng. That brat¡¯s mental energy and bloodline aura are both not simple. He must have something to rely on to be so confident.¡±


    The Divine Sense of a King sounded in Zuo Hong¡¯s mind. The owner of the voice belonged to Zuo Hong¡¯s Master.


    ¡°This disciple understands.¡±


    Zuo Hong¡¯s heart jumped, and he took back his underestimation. After all, his master was a Void God Realm King, so he had a greater grasp of the opponent¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Start.¡±


    A half-step Void God Realm acted as the judge.


    ¡°No matter who Zhao Feng is, I should be able to last ten moves.¡±


    Zuo Hong¡¯s figure flashed as he used a technique of the Sacred Land.


    _Flying Cloud Albatross Leap!_


    In the next instant, a large condensed figure of a green-and-silver albatross formed in the air.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Zuo Hong¡¯s body seemed to merge into the green-and-silver albatross, and sharp feathers one after another swept toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°What a profound skill.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his skin start to tingle in pain. It would be hard for him to catch sight of Zuo Hong if he didn¡¯t use his eye-bloodline.


    ¡°Purple Wind Lightning Ring!¡±


    Zhao Feng lightly exclaimed as he circulated his Purple Destruction Wind Lightning against the sharp figures that blotted out the sky.


    Bam! Bam!


    Zhao Feng was covered in an eye-catching current of purple-colored lightning as beams of Destruction swept out.


    Rings of purple lightning expanded as they clashed against the figure of the albatross.


    The aura of Destruction raged chaotically as the two powers hit each other.


    Crack!


    A crack soon appeared on the figure of the green-and-silver albatross.


    The victor of the clash was immediately decided.


    ¡°Purple Destruction Wind Lightning? It¡¯s the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor¡­.¡±


    The Void God Realm Divine Senses in the air were slightly surprised.


    There were many experts in the True Martial Sacred Land, and they soon recognized the history of Zhao Feng¡¯s skills.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Emperor? He used to reign supreme with his speed. He was a legendary existence even amongst Emperors.¡±


    ¡°The Ten Thousand Lightning Sect in the Sacred Land also has the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor, but they don¡¯t have the essence of it¡­.¡±


    A few King Divine Senses started to discuss.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Emperor?¡±


    The Divine Sense of an Emperor swept across with a sigh.


    There were many ancient Emperors here in the Sacred Land that may have known the Wind Lightning Emperor personally.


    Back then, the Wind Lightning Emperor had once cultivated in the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect. At this moment, the Purple Destruction techniques of the Wind Lightning Emperor were suppressing the techniques of another force of the Sacred Land.


    ¡°A brat from the outside world actually has the inheritance of a legendary Emperor?¡±


    Zuo Hong gritted his teeth in the air.


    _Flying Albatross Sweeping Shadow!_


    Zuo Hong suddenly circulated his bloodline power, and the figure of the albatross in the air started to condense even firmer as wind and lightning flashed around it.


    Shua!


    In the next instant, the image of an albatross swept across the air.


    The spectators seemed to see a divine bird radiating an old intent screech as it flashed through the clouds.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng felt a pressure bear down upon him, and his blood flow started to slow down.


    He didn¡¯t expect Zuo Hong¡¯s bloodline technique to be so unique. His peak battle-power was comparable to a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Hundred Figures!¡±


    Zhao Feng roared as waves of shining purple lightning and wind glowed around him.


    Shua! Shua! Shua~~~~~


    In that moment, a ball of purple-colored Wind Lightning split into two. The two balls then split into four.


    Two¡­ four¡­ eight¡­ sixteen.


    In just a moment, a couple dozen purple lightning doppelgangers had formed and were spread out amongst a one-mile radius.


    Shu~~~~~


    The flying albatross instantly shattered a few doppelgangers, but no one knew where Zhao Feng¡¯s true body was at.


    It was hard to distinguish which body was the real Zhao Feng, and each doppelganger had attacking abilities.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The doppelgangers charged one after another toward the flying albatross Zuo Hong had turned to.


    Zuo Hong became filled with anger as wind and lightning erupted across his body.


    Most of the geniuses watching were stunned.


    ¡°Blade of Purple Destruction!¡±


    A thin, dark purple blade suddenly formed on one of the doppelganger¡¯s hands, and it radiated an aura of Destruction as it glimmered with lightning.


    Crack!


    The blade of Wind Lightning was extremely eye-catching, and it suddenly expanded to more than a dozen yards long as it released an aura of Destruction and sliced the figure of the albatross in two.


    Siiii!


    Zuo Hong in his albatross form groaned.


    Shu~~


    A scorched, dark red mark could be seen on his body, and the power of Destruction had entered his body.


    Even with his powerful bloodline, the injury couldn¡¯t be healed very quickly. Destruction was the antithesis of healing, which made recovering from the aura of Destruction very difficult.


    ¡°Not good! This Zhao Feng¡¯s attack, speed, and skill all surpass Hong¡¯er¡­.¡±


    The Divine Sense of a King exclaimed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Blade of Purple Destruction had broken through Zuo Hong¡¯s bloodline skill and caused an injury.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s attack didn¡¯t end there.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning!¡±


    Wings of Purple Destruction Wind Lightning dozens of yards long started to extend across Zhao Feng¡¯s back, making him seem like an ancient demon surrounded by wind and lightning.


    Boom!


    A terrifying surge of wind and lightning appeared on the stage and created a storm of Destruction.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed, attack, and intent had reached an entirely new level.


    With each palm, he seemed to create dragons of Destruction that howled in the storm.


    ¡°So strong!¡±


    The spectators watching the blue-haired youth felt their hearts shake.


    ¡°No~~~~~!¡±


    Zuo Hong gave it his all and circulated his bloodline power to the maximum, but his figure started to fade in front of the unparalleled dragon of Destruction, and he flew out of the stage.


    Plop!


    Zuo Hong¡¯s body was entirely black when he landed. He wanted to move, but he was completely numb, and his lifeforce had been injured.


    ¡°Brother Zuo!¡±


    A few Core disciples ran over and helped Zuo Hong.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Zhao Feng walked out of the stage amongst wary and fearful gazes.


    ¡°It was indeed accomplished within ten moves¡­.¡±


    The half-step King judge looked at Zhao Feng weirdly.


    At the last moment, with the addition of the Wings of Wind and Lightning, Zhao Feng¡¯s battle-power was enough to threaten even those at the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm or above.


    Such battle-power was enough to stand out amongst most geniuses in the Sacred Land.


    ¡°His strength is okay.¡±


    Brother Nan said emotionlessly from the crowd.


    For someone like him ¨C one of the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses ¨C that level of battle-power didn¡¯t surprise him.


    One had to know that many of the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses could challenge normal half-step Kings.


    On the other hand, Chen Yilin was full of surprise.


    He was also one of the Top Ten Sacred Land Geniuses, but he had seen Zhao Feng one year ago. Back then, Zhao Feng was only at the half-step Origin Core Realm. At that time, he probably couldn¡¯t have even blocked one blow from Jiang Fan.


    ¡°Luckily, Jiang Fan isn¡¯t here. The strength that Zhao Feng just displayed was already on par with Brother Jiang.¡±


    Chen Yilin murmured.


    After the disciple ceremony, Jiang Fan had followed his master, Emperor Gu Luo, and gone to cultivate.


    Right at this moment:


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your performance wasn¡¯t bad. Come to me.¡±


    Emperor Duanmu¡¯s voice sounded.


    It was obvious that he also watched the fight.


    The other Kings couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Emperor Duanmu had just taken in a new disciple, and he was already so strong.


    A while later:


    ¡°Master, is there something you need to tell me?¡±


    Zhao Feng arrived at Duanmu Qing¡¯s palace.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your strength can be ranked within the top five or six Core disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan, but there is still a difference between the Top Ten Geniuses of the Sacred Land. It¡¯s still not enough to reap a lot of benefits from the Demigod Forgotten Garden¡­.¡±


    Duanmu Qing said.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t disagree. He already had to use 60-70% of his Purple Destruction Wind Lightning intent just now.


    If the disciples of the Sacred Land at the Small Origin Core Realm already had such strength, then those at the Great Origin Core Realm would be immeasurable.


    ¡°I have three things for you before I leave. They might be of help to you.¡±


    A wooden box appeared in Duanmu Qing¡¯s hand.


    Zhao Feng took the box and opened it. Within, there were two books and a small jade bottle.


    There was some kind of crystal the size of a thumb within the jade bottle. It was round and as transparent and perfect as diamond. The pressure radiating from it made even Zhao Feng feel suppressed.


    ¡°This is a Crystal Core Pill, which helps those at the peak Small Origin Core Realm break through to the Great Origin Core Realm. Your cultivation isn¡¯t enough to use it yet, but I found that the Core Center within your body is already showing signs of turning into crystal, so using this now might have some good effects.¡±


    Duanmu Qing smiled and said.


    ¡°Crystal Core Pill?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but become excited. He had heard of this pill¡¯s value; it was extremely rare even in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces.


    His eyes then landed on the two books.


    There were a few words on the first book: Dark Eye Secret Manual


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be surprised. What was the connection between this and the Dark Eye Incomplete Page?


    ¡°Hehe, this Dark Eye Secret Manual was something I got in an exchange with the Emperor of Death a long time ago, and it contains many of his techniques¡­.¡±

 633 Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique

    ¡°Hehe, this Dark Eye Secret Manual was something I got in an exchange with the Emperor of Death a long time ago, and it contains many of his techniques¡­.¡±


    When Zhao Feng heard that, he was filled with disbelief.


    Duanmu Qing had the Emperor of Death¡¯s secret technique? It sounded incredible.


    Of course, Void God Realm Emperors had their own circles, and it wasn¡¯t surprising for them to trade items with each other.


    The Emperor of Death and Duanmu Qing were both ancient Emperors whose strengths were close to each other.


    ¡°That was a very long time ago, and I paid a price for it. However, the Dark Eye Secret Manual isn¡¯t of much use to me; I only wanted this technique due to my curiosity toward the Eye of Death.¡±


    Duanmu Qing sighed.


    The lifespan of an Emperor was extremely long; they could live up to dozens of thousands of years. With such long lives, Emperors would touch upon multiple fields at the same time just to gain that little bit of insight.


    ¡°Master, what¡¯s the relationship between the Dark Eye Sacred Manual and the Death Dark Eye?¡±


    Zhao Feng remembered the Dark Eye Incomplete Page. Because it was incomplete, Zhao Feng never really cultivated it aside from consulting some of its theories.


    Apparently, the Dark Eye Incomplete Page had nine pages in total, and when all nine were combined, one could cultivate the ultimate Death Dark Eye.


    ¡°Out of the entire Cang Ocean, probably only the Emperor of Death can cultivate the Death Dark Eye. The Dark Eye Secret Manual is an incomplete part of the Death Dark Eye, and it doesn¡¯t have many true offensive skills. However, it has a lot of theories about souls and Death¡­.¡±


    Duanmu Qing answered.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng let out a breath. The Emperor of Death obviously wouldn¡¯t give the secret of the Death Dark Eye away.


    ¡°However, the Dark Eye Secret Technique contains many skills of the Emperor of Death, and it contains more than just information about the Death Dark Eye.¡±


    Duanmu Qing looked at Zhao Feng solemnly.


    Zhao Feng was full of gratitude. He knew what Duanmu Qing was doing.


    Facing the Pursuit of Death, Zhao Feng would eventually meet with the Emperor of Death.


    The reason Duanmu Qing gave the Dark Eye Secret Manual to Zhao Feng was to let him understand the Emperor of Death¡¯s skills and find a method to counter them.


    Zhao Feng silently took the Dark Eye Secret Manual.


    His gaze then landed on the other book.


    This book was at the bottom of the box. From that, one could see that its value probably wasn¡¯t lower than the Dark Eye Secret Manual.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique?¡±


    Zhao Feng picked it up.


    Looking at this book, reminiscence seemed to appear on Duanmu Qing¡¯s face.


    ¡°This is my Duanmu Family¡¯s secret technique. It¡¯s a supreme soul technique. The skill has reached Heaven-Grade, but it¡¯s slightly incomplete.¡±


    Duanmu Qing¡¯s voice was low and raspy.


    Zhao Feng seemed to realize something. The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Duanmu Family seemed to touch the bottom of Duanmu Qing¡¯s heart.


    _My God¡¯s Spiritual Eye definitely specializes in cultivating the soul._


    Zhao Feng was very confident. He instinctively merged his Spiritual Sense into the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    Weng~


    A mysterious source of mental energy led Zhao Feng into a separate world. All the contents of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique were recorded in this mental energy world.


    ¡°This technique helps one¡¯s soul evolve and breakthrough to the Void God Realm. When mastered, one thought can turn into ten thousand.¡±


    Duanmu Qing¡¯s voice sounded in his ear, but Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness had already entered the world of mental energy and was starting to learn the knowledge.


    Hearing Duanmu Qing¡¯s introduction, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be surprised.


    Firstly, the complete Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique had reached Heaven-Grade.


    Techniques were split into Mortal-, Spiritual-, Earth-, and Heaven-Grade.


    Amongst them, Spiritual-Grade was already rare in the Azure Flower Continent, while Heaven-Grade was the highest grade in the world.


    Secondly, the skill increased one¡¯s chances of breaking through to the Void God Realm.


    ¡°Many other Emperors wanted this skill, but I didn¡¯t agree to exchange with them. Even I haven¡¯t cultivated it to the highest ¡®One Thought into Ten Thousand¡¯ level. Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯m not very talented when it comes to the soul¡­.¡±


    Duanmu Qing had a complex expression. The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique had a unique place in his heart.


    ¡°Master, why are you giving me the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked carefully.


    Duanmu Qing didn¡¯t hide the reason.


    ¡°There¡¯s two reasons. Firstly, your eye-bloodline is related to the soul, and even I can¡¯t see through it. Maybe you can surpass me in mastering the technique.


    ¡°Secondly, intent from the Eye of Death hides in your soul. I don¡¯t specialize in the soul, and the intent of an Emperor is too strong. If I enter your soul to remove the intent, I might cause unthinkable problems.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised by the first reason.


    Even First Elder from the Broken Moon Clan saw that Zhao Feng was talented in mental energy. Emperor Duanmu Qing probably understood it even better.


    It was the second reason that surprised Zhao Feng and filled him with happiness, ¡°Master, do you mean that the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique can help dissolve the intent left by the Emperor of Death in my soul?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±


    Duanmu Qing spoke in a solemn tone, ¡°I can help you for limited time, but not your entire life. In the end, you¡¯ll need to face the Emperor of Death by yourself.¡±


    Zhao Feng admired Duanmu Qing¡¯s wisdom.


    Instead of giving people fish, it was better to teach them how to fish.


    Giving the Dark Eye Secret Manual and the Duanmu Family¡¯s Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to Zhao Feng, Duanmu Qing wanted him to face the Pursuit of Death by himself.


    Zhao Feng took the wooden box carefully before bowing to Duanmu Qing then leaving.


    Although he only just entered the Sacred Land a couple days ago, Duanmu Qing didn¡¯t treat Zhao Feng as if they had just met.


    Zhao Feng silently remembered this with gratitude.


    After returning to the place he was staying, Zhao Feng immediately took out the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and started to cultivate it.


    His consciousness soon entered the world of mental energy and started to absorb the knowledge hungrily.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng had started to understand the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique wasn¡¯t just a simple technique that cultivated the soul. It also included secret skills and how to use the power of the soul.


    The Dao of the Soul had always been a forbidden area of cultivation.


    Only those at the Void God Realm, whose souls had evolved, had the ability to truly use the power of the soul. However, they had only just stepped past the door.


    The soul was too mysterious and dangerous. It was hard to learn its origin.


    ¡°The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique¡¯s specialty is to turn one thought into two, then one into a hundred, then one into a thousand¡­ and increase the efficiency of using the power of the soul.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    It was hard for normal people to do multiple things at once, but the thoughts of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique were more unique.


    Each of these thoughts were individualized and could do their own things. They didn¡¯t really affect each other.


    Of course, the speed of these thoughts would be much slower.


    For example, if one reached the ¡®One Thought into Two¡¯ level, then Zhao Feng¡¯s mind would become two individuals. One could cultivate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique while the other could cultivate the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor.


    This splitting of the mind had exceeded mere multi-tasking.


    Of course, that was just the theory behind the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique; it was much more difficult to actually accomplish it.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try.¡±


    Zhao Feng was somewhat excited as he started to cultivate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    Currently, he had no Divine Sense. He only had Spiritual Sense.


    One had to be at least at the half-step Void God Realm to have Divine Sense. However, Spiritual Sense and Divine Sense operated under the same principles.


    While he was cultivating, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye unknowingly became involved since it was the core of his soul-power.


    Half a day later:


    ¡°Hmm? It doesn¡¯t seem to be too hard¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Spiritual Sense easily split into two.


    Thinking back to the past, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could easily control an army of beasts and order them around as he wished.


    Normal beast tamers usually controlled an army of beasts by controlling the beast leader and ordering it to order the other beasts around. On the other hand, there were some unique eye-bloodlines that had the ability to control a beast army by themselves, such as Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    ¡°One Thought into Ten.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Spiritual Sense easily split into ten on the second day.


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thought-power appeared as he circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    In the next instant, three birds from different directions were restricted by the power of his thoughts.


    With just a thought, Zhao Feng then made several wooden barrels float in the air.


    ¡°This is the power of mental energy thoughts.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt extremely satisfied.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was a treasure, and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was a key to open it.


    In just a short span of two days, Zhao Feng¡¯s Spiritual Sense had already split into ten.


    In theory, each of these thoughts could control an army of beasts. All of them could unleash mental energy attacks or use their Spiritual Sense.


    ¡°As expected of a Heaven-Grade soul technique; it¡¯s heaven-defying.¡±


    Zhao Feng was full of praise.


    He didn¡¯t know how terrifying his current cultivation speed was.


    Back then, Duanmu Qing used ten years to achieve the One Thought into Ten state. Zhao Feng felt as if he was merely progressing as expected.


    The talent of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye in terms of the soul was heaven-defying, and it was currently like a fish in water as he cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    On this day, Zhao Feng decided to get ready to learn the Dark Eye Secret Manual.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I will be leaving the Sacred Land soon and heading toward the Tianlu Islands. Don¡¯t leave the Sacred Land in this period of time. If you need anything, you can tell me right now.¡±

 634 Soul Eye Bloodline Techniques

    Zhao Feng knew that Duanmu Qing going to the Purple Saint Ruins was great news for Zhao Yufei.


    After thinking for a while, he realized that, after entering the Sacred Land, all he needed to do was cultivate quietly. There were no other requirements.


    The only other thing was to take care of the people on the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, but he didn¡¯t need an Emperor just for that.


    ¡°How long will Master be gone for?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°At least a month or two, at most half a year. It won¡¯t be hard to stop the problems that the Purple Saint Ruins is facing, but it¡¯ll be hard to recover the dimension itself. Time is also needed for the inheritance to become complete.¡±


    Duanmu Qing answered.


    Before he left, Duanmu Qing sent a stream of information about the Demigod Forgotten Garden into Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Although the Demigod Forgotten Garden only opened once every five hundred years, the Sacred Land¡¯s history was extremely long.


    The two three-star clans and the many two-star sects had scouted it quite a bit over the course of history, so they knew most of the situation within.


    ¡°The requirement for entering the Demigod Forgotten Garden is to be below 50 years old. There are many restrictions in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and the dimension is different from the outside world¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng summarized.


    There was still about two or three months till the Demigod Forgotten Garden opened.


    Currently, Zhao Feng decided to focus on cultivation, so he didn¡¯t have much time to read the information in detail.


    ¡°I should first take care of everyone aboard the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.¡±


    Zhao Feng got up and walked out.


    Being a Core disciple of a three-star Clan, Zhao Feng could easily walk around the Sacred Land with his status.


    However, he was still extremely careful because the aura of Death in the bottom of his soul was still extremely close.


    Many of the four Death Spirit Lords and thirty-six Death Guards were in the True Martial Sacred Land.


    After walking out, Zhao Feng took out his Core Disciple Token and sent a message to the Golden Mountain Sect.


    An hour later, Old Li from the Golden Mountain Sect received a letter.


    A wisp of mental energy with Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded as the letter was opened, ¡°Old Li, there¡¯s something I need your help with¡­.¡±


    Old Li was stunned. Someone below the Void God Realm could imbue their mental energy into a letter? Furthermore, the voice sounded instantaneously.


    Due to the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy thoughts could be split into many.


    If his mental energy was attached to a letter and sent far away, he could still connect it with his soul. This was just a basic method of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    Through the letter, Zhao Feng and Old Li didn¡¯t need any other methods of communication.


    ¡°Little Friend Zhao, you don¡¯t need to worry. I will report this to the upper echelon of the sect and give your friends some positions. That isn¡¯t much of a problem.¡±


    Old Li said.


    On that very day, the blue-robed King went to get everyone aboard the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    On the second day, Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and company aboard the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship became outer members of the Golden Mountain Sect.


    Zhao Feng finally felt relaxed.


    The True Martial Sacred Land wasn¡¯t his final stop, and he still needed a ship after going to the Floating Dream Sacred Land.


    After taking care of those aboard the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship, Zhao Feng entered seclusion.


    He had three current paths he was taking.


    One was the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance.


    He had almost completely mastered the purple color level, so he could try to cultivate the scarlet-colored Wind Lightning soon.


    The second was the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was even greater than the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance, and it could even help dissolve the intent of Death within his soul.


    The third path was the Death Dark Eye.


    Amongst the three, Zhao Feng placed the greatest importance on the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique strengthened Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and allowed him to use it more efficiently.


    However, after Zhao Feng reached the One Thought into Ten state, the rate of improvement slowed down dramatically.


    It was already a miracle Zhao Feng could reach the One Thought into Ten state so quickly. His rate of cultivation had already far surpassed the speed of the experts from the Duanmu Family.


    On the second day, Zhao Feng started to look into the Dark Eye Secret Manual.


    He was fully lost in it as he absorbed its knowledge.


    The Dark Eye Secret Manual contained the theories and techniques of the Emperor of Death and, although it didn¡¯t have much information about the Death Dark Eye, there was a lot of information about supporting and controlling eye-bloodline techniques.


    ¡°All of these techniques are biased toward Death and the Soul. The Emperor of Death is pretty cunning; he didn¡¯t write much about the offensive eye-bloodline techniques or any core information.¡±


    Zhao Feng used an entire day and night to scan over the contents.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy was extremely powerful; he had the ability of memorizing everything he saw. He also had great comprehension and learning ability.


    The Dark Eye Secret Manual allowed Zhao Feng to understand more about Death and Soul techniques.


    What was more surprising was that the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Dark Eye Secret Manual complemented one another.


    The two both regarded how the soul worked, and Zhao Feng had comprehended the Dark Eye Incomplete Page before, so he was able to understand the Dark Eye Secret Manual.


    Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness was fully absorbed in the Dark Eye Secret Manual as he learnt the theory behind it.


    Since many of the skills recorded in the Dark Eye Secret Manual were about the element of Death, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t learn them, but he could learn the basic Soul techniques.


    In this half a month, Zhao Feng also invented a couple other eye-bloodline techniques. They were mainly Soul-based, and since they were based on the Dark Eye Secret Manual, these techniques were mainly supporting skills.


    ¡°Soul Chains!¡±


    A surge of mental energy eye-bloodline power appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    In the next instant, the skeletal Division Leader in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl became unable to move.


    Transparent purple-colored lightning chains wrapped around the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s body.


    In reality, what was actually bound was the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s soul. The transparent purple-colored lightning chains existed within the soul-dimension, and they restricted the opponent¡¯s soul.


    ¡°I only used 50% of my strength and you already can¡¯t fight back.¡±


    Zhao Feng took back his eye-bloodline power with dissatisfaction.


    The skeletal Division Leader struggled for several breaths before finally breaking free.


    Apart from the Soul Chains, Zhao Feng had also comprehended more than a dozen Soul-based techniques, some weak and some strong.


    ¡°Dark Heart Seal, Mental Energy Spike, Eye of Nightmares, Soul Searching Eye, Demonic Eye¡­.¡±


    Techniques, theories, and intents appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Although some of the skills were of the element of Death, Zhao Feng could use them with other elements.


    After all, his eye-bloodline powers could change, which gave him a big advantage over other eye-bloodlines.


    Amongst the techniques, Zhao Feng understood the Dark Heart Seal extremely well. It was an improvement on the Dark Heart Seed.


    In the past, the Dark Heart Seed could merge into the opponent¡¯s soul and threaten the opponent¡¯s life and even enslave them.


    However, the Dark Heart Seed¡¯s power was limited; it couldn¡¯t control the victim¡¯s thoughts.


    If they didn¡¯t care about their life, then the Dark Heart Seed had no meaning. If the target wanted to counterattack, they could do so at any time, so the risk was high.


    ¡°The Dark Heart Seal imprints one¡¯s own soul-power into the depths of the opponent¡¯s soul and can change their thoughts. Those that are imprinted with the Dark Heart Seal will obey their master from the bottom of their heart.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew how terrifying this skill was.


    The Dark Heart Seal was basically an enslaving seal. Once imprinted, the victim would obey their master like a true slave.


    For example, although the skeletal Division Leader was controlled by Zhao Feng, it still had malicious thoughts, but if it was imprinted with the Dark Heart Seal instead, the skeletal Division leader would obey Zhao Feng until the end.


    The Dark Heart Seal could be considered a forbidden enslaving technique.


    Of course, the skill had its own limits.


    Firstly, the success rate depended on the difference in soul-strength.


    Under normal situations, if the target fought back and the skill failed, the target¡¯s soul would most likely be destroyed.


    Of course, the success rate was related to control. With the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng¡¯s control was extremely precise.


    Zhao Feng even thought that he could maybe control several slaves at once if he split his thoughts.


    Apart from the fact that the rate of success wasn¡¯t very high, the Dark Heart Seal also used a lot of energy, which also depended on the difference in soul-strength.


    ¡°Dark Heart Seal.¡±


    A wisp of cold eye-bloodline power radiated from Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Shua!


    A True Spirit Realm bird in the air several miles away froze.


    A breath or two later:


    Whoosh!


    The True Spirit Realm bird flew over and landed on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder respectfully.


    ¡°En, its mind has been fully enslaved. Even if I was at the Ascended Realm, it would obey me.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    This was the tenth time he was testing out the Dark Heart Seal.


    Apart from a mistake on the first try, the other nine tries all ended in success.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s control was extremely precise to begin with, and he had also learnt the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, meaning that his usage of soul-power had reached another level.


    Zhao Feng then tried to control nearby beasts using ten different thoughts. Each of the beasts were at least at the Ascended Realm.


    A few breaths later, eight of the ten beasts at the Ascended Realm were enslaved by Zhao Feng.


    The two failures were due to Zhao Feng multi-tasking.


    If Zhao Feng could cultivate the Dark Heart Seal and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to a higher level, the rate of success would become higher.


    Within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, the skeletal Division Leader saw Zhao Feng¡¯s new Soul techniques and became filled with fear. Everything imprinted by the Dark Heart Seal became truly enslaved by Zhao Feng.

 635 Breaking Through to the Late Stage Small Origin Core Realm

    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use the Dark Heart Seal on the skeletal Division Leader.


    The Dark Heart Seal had its advantages and disadvantages.


    The main advantage was that the target would fully obey the user, but they would become something similar to robots. Their minds and way of thinking were limited, and they would have limited potential.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use the Dark Heart Seal on the skeletal Division Leader. The latter¡¯s cunning was better than a mere doll that knew how to take orders.


    Furthermore, the skeletal Division Leader wasn¡¯t much of a threat to Zhao Feng anymore at this point anyway.


    Besides, the Dark Heart Seed already in its heart could still decide its life or death in just one thought.


    After comprehending more than a dozen new skills, Zhao Feng¡¯s seclusion still wasn¡¯t over.


    ¡°There¡¯s still two more months left. I need to strengthen and consolidate my cultivation.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.


    He decided to not touch the Death Dark Eye for a while. He focused on the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, and he also tried to comprehend the scarlet-colored Wind Lightning.


    At the same time, he would enter the Ancient Dream Realm every couple days.


    He could stay there for a long time now, and the amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura he was absorbing was enormous, which was all being infused into his bloodline, soul, and body.


    The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique could also be strengthened by the Ancient Dream Realm aura, and Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was increasing by leaps and bounds


    Half a month later, Zhao Feng¡¯s Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique had reached the level where he could split his mind into twenty thoughts. His Spiritual Sense and his soul were becoming stronger by the day.


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul had reached the peak Great Origin Core Realm, only below the half-step Void God Realm.


    His improvement could be described as ¡°travelling a thousand miles in one day.¡±


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was a treasure box hidden in Zhao Feng¡¯s soul. The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was a key to opening it, and the Ancient Dream Realm aura was a catalyst.


    ¡°If things continue at this rate, my soul will be comparable to a half-step King two months later.¡±


    Zhao Feng was quite looking forward to it.


    The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was indeed worthy of a Heaven-Grade technique that could increase one¡¯s chances of breaking through to the Void God Realm.


    Even some Emperors wanted the technique, but Duanmu Qing never agreed.


    Although Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was weaker than those at the half-step Void God Realm, his mastery and usage of soul-power exceeded them. This meant that half-step Void God Realm intents no longer posed a threat to him.


    On this day, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm once more.


    Zhao Feng slowly walked over the barren lands.


    Nowadays, he no longer entered the Ancient Dream Realm purely to absorb the aura; he also wanted to scout the place out.


    ¡°I walked four or five steps last time and appeared at that spot.¡±


    Zhao Feng paid attention to every detail.


    Whenever he entered the Ancient Dream Realm, he would appear at the same spot he left the previous time.


    There was a patch of grass ahead.


    ¡°I probably need to take a couple thousand steps to reach that patch of grass.¡±


    Zhao Feng walked seven or eight steps before standing still for a long time and absorbing a large amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    Before he left, Zhao Feng gazed ahead.


    The grass was his first target. Further ahead was a stream.


    Right at that moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw an ancient bird, around four to five feet long, flying in the air.


    ¡°What a terrifying aura!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body and soul felt a powerful Yao aura. The Yao aura emanating from the bird was hundreds, if not thousands of times stronger than its descendants.


    As if sensing Zhao Feng, the red eyes of the bird flashed.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. He felt as if he was facing a Void God Realm King.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a strong sense of danger and quickly left the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Inside the room, Zhao Feng¡¯s back was drenched in cold sweat.


    Just a random bird within the Ancient Dream Realm was so strong.


    In that place where he could barely manage to even walk, he had no chance against such a beast.


    The scouting this time made Zhao Feng wary. While there may be fortune in the Ancient Dream Realm, accompanying it was also danger. There were obviously strong beings in there.


    For the next two months, Zhao Feng stopped his comprehension and focused on his cultivation.


    The signs of his Core Center becoming crystal-like were becoming more obvious.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng took out the third item from the wooden box ¨C the Crystal Core Pill.


    Duanmu Qing had given Zhao Feng three items. Amongst them, the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Dark Eye Secret Technique had given Zhao Feng a lot of supporting techniques, but there was still this pill.


    __


    _¡°This is a Crystal Core Pill, which can help those at the peak Small Origin Core Realm break through to the Great Origin Core Realm. Your cultivation isn¡¯t enough to use it yet, but I found that the Core Center within your body is showing signs of turning into crystal, so using this now might have some good effects.¡±_


    What Duanmu Qing said echoed in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Normally, only someone at the peak stage Small Origin Core Realm trying to break through to the Great Origin Core Realm would be suitable to use the Crystal Core Pill; those at the middle- and late-stage either wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the power, or they¡¯d end up wasting a large portion of its energy.


    However, being an Emperor, Duanmu Qing had good eyes.


    Not only did he see that Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence had reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm, he also saw that the Core Center in Zhao Feng¡¯s body was already showing signs of turning into crystal. Therefore, Zhao Feng would be able to withstand the pill.


    ¡°Crystal Core Pill¡­ let¡¯s see its effects.¡±


    Zhao Feng gulped down the smooth pill.


    The Crystal Core Pill showed no signs of dissolving like other spiritual pills when it entered his body.


    Circulating his True Yuan, Zhao Feng absorbed the power of the Crystal Core Pill.


    The energy contained within it was extremely pure. It was on par with a Core Center of someone at the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Di! Da!


    The power of the Crystal Core Pill turned into streams of dominating energy that entered Zhao Feng¡¯s Core Center.


    The Core Center of a normal Origin Core Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand such energy, but Zhao Feng could do so easily since his state of existence and his body had both reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Even some half-step Void God Realms didn¡¯t have a state of existence or a body that were as strong as Zhao Feng¡¯s. On top of that, part of his Core Center had already turned crystal-like, so he could handle this energy as long as he didn¡¯t rush.


    As time passed, the Core Center within Zhao Feng¡¯s body started to expand and condense. The crystal-like changes were becoming more obvious as well.


    Two months passed, and Zhao Feng completely absorbed the energy from the Crystal Core Pill.


    During that period of time, he didn¡¯t enter the Ancient Dream Realm due to his wariness of the ancient Yao bird.


    Luckily, through hard work and the help of the Crystal Core Pill, Zhao Feng¡¯s Core Center had almost become fully crystal-like, and it had expanded to the size of a normal late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°The strength of my Core Center isn¡¯t much different from a Great Origin Core Realm. The only difference is the size.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected quietly.


    His cultivation was now at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm. There wouldn¡¯t be any bottleneck preventing him from breaking through to the Great Origin Core Realm since his Core Center had already become almost fully crystalline.


    All he needed to do now was slowly condense and expand his Core Center into a Crystal Core, then he would reach the Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°There¡¯s still a couple days left till the Demigod Forgotten Garden opens.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath.


    In these last couple days, he decided to enter the Ancient Dream Realm and condense his Core Center with the Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    After all, he had used a lot of outside help to break through to the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, so he wanted to stabilize himself with some Ancient Dream Realm aura..


    When he entered the Ancient Dream Realm this time, he was extremely careful.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng stood on an ancient barren land.


    The bird he saw last time didn¡¯t appear.


    Zhao Feng absorbed a large amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura and merged it into his Core Center to consolidate his foundation.


    At the same time, all the geniuses in the True Martial Sacred Land that were attending the Demigod Forgotten Garden were also preparing themselves.


    In the Mystic True Sacred Clan, within Emperor Gu Luo¡¯s palace:


    ¡°Late-stage Small Origin Core Realm ¨C success!¡±


    Jiang Fan¡¯s face became faintly red with victory.


    ¡°Not bad. With my help, you managed to absorb all the energy of a Crystal Core Pill.¡±


    Emperor Gu Luo praised.


    Over the last couple months, Jiang Fan had been working hard, and his strength had increased by leaps and bounds.


    ¡°Now that my Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline and my cultivation have both increased, my strength should be enough to challenge the Ten Geniuses of the Sacred Land.¡±


    Jiang Fan was full of confidence.


    The bloodlines of the legendary Ten Thousand Ancient Races had the ability to fight against people with higher cultivations.


    For example, although he was only at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, he could challenge those at the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Hmph, that Zhao Feng¡­¡±


    Jiang Fan felt extremely satisfied. His cultivation speed was insanely quick. That Zhao Feng would be left behind in the dust.


    On one of the main Spiritual Peaks, in the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, in a secret underground palace:


    ¡°According to our deal, my master ¨C the Scarlet Demon Emperor ¨C has given you a spot, and he paid a big price for it¡­.¡±


    The figure of a scale-covered man could be faintly seen.


    If Zhao Feng was present, he would immediately recognize this person as Tu Wanli, the person who had charged over to the Golden Mountain Sect before.


    Facing Tu Wanli was a warm youth.


    ¡°Many thanks to the Scarlet Demon Emperor. My master, the Emperor of Death, will be exiting seclusion soon, and he will give many rewards.¡±


    The warm youth said peacefully.


    Tu Wanli¡¯s heart gently trembled when he heard that.


    Being an ancient Emperor, the Emperor of Death¡¯s name was known across all three Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    In this world, apart from Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords, no one dared to say that they could suppress the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°We¡¯re only responsible for giving you a spot. As for killing Zhao Feng, that is not related to us. Hehe, are you not scared of Emperor Duanmu Qing¡¯s revenge?¡±


    Tu Wanli laughed.


    Although the Emperor of Death was strong, Duanmu Qing was strong as well, and this place was the True Martial Sacred Land.


    ¡°As long as he enters the Demigod Forgotten Garden, no one will be able to save Zhao Feng. Coincidentally, Emperor Duanmu has left. This is the perfect chance.¡±


    Although the warm youth¡¯s smile was the same ¨C bright and sunny ¨C there was a coldness that passed through his soul.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, don¡¯t get too cocky. Many of the geniuses entering the Demigod Forgotten Garden are personal disciples of Emperors. The strength of that Nan Gongsheng and our clan¡¯s Meng Xi are far stronger than normal half-step Void God Realms. Your Death Guards probably won¡¯t even be enough to be their appetizer.¡±

 636 Opening of the Forgotten Garden

    In a forest covered in purple mist on the main Spiritual Peak of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan:


    ¡°Xi¡¯er, although you have a legendary bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, it isn¡¯t a battle-type bloodline. Your chances of winning against Nan Gongsheng don¡¯t exceed 50%.¡±


    A voice sounded from a bamboo room.


    The inside of the room was dark and had a nice smell to it.


    A peerless beauty with eyes like stars stood there. Her hair reached the ground, and she seemed to be a goddess.


    ¡°Hmph, although that Nan Gongsheng is the number one genius of the Sacred Land, he¡¯s lost a few times against me.¡±


    Meng Xi touched her hair and seemed to be slightly unwilling.


    In front of her sat a silver-haired figure with an infinitely powerful aura.


    One couldn¡¯t tell the gender of the figure, and although it seemed to actually be there, it also seemed to be just a ball of air at the same time.


    ¡°Hehe, you are my most outstanding disciple. How could I have not prepared anything for the once-every-five-hundred-years Demigod Forgotten Garden?¡±


    The figure slowly opened its hand.


    Shua!


    A unique, purple unicorn¡¯s horn landed on Meng Xi¡¯s palm.


    ¡°This is¡­?¡±


    Meng Xi was slightly surprised. The purple unicorn¡¯s horn contained a profound aura of mental energy, but it didn¡¯t seem to be a weapon.


    ¡°With this, you will be almost completely unparalleled in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Even Nan Gongsheng will be wary of you.¡±


    The figure smiled faintly.


    On the morning of the second day, on a large arena stage on the main Spiritual peak of the Mystic True Sacred Clan, several half-step Void God Realm auras clashed.


    Three of them were on the same side: a middle-aged man with a long beard, a cold youth, and a female in a green dress.


    On the other side was a sharp youth in mystic clothes with one hand behind his back. His other hand released a silver light that pushed back the three half-step Void God Realms.


    There were many spectators watching, including Core disciples, several Kings, and even an Emperor.


    ¡°This Nan Gongsheng is facing three half-step Void God Realms with such ease!?¡±


    The Core disciples below watching felt their hearts twitch. He was too monstrous.


    Nan Gongsheng was the Head disciple of the Mystic True Sacred Clan. At the same time, he was also the strongest genius in the entire Sacred Land. No one apart from Meng Xi, who had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, had even lasted more than ten moves against him.


    Ta!


    Three half-step Void God intents suddenly merged together and crushed toward Nan Gongsheng.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi seemed to freeze as forces clashed in the soul-dimension. All thoughts were unable to move.


    The three half-step Void God intents had become one, and the Core disciples below didn¡¯t dare to breathe.


    Even though Nan Gongsheng had reached the half-step Void God Realm, it was hard for him to break through the combined attacks of three half-step Void God intents.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Silver light flashed around Nan Gongsheng as his half-step Void God intent started to rise.


    Boom!


    A loud explosion sounded within the soul-dimension, which then passed into the physical dimension.


    In that instant, the arrays around the stage became dim.


    ¡°Void God intent!¡±


    Everyone broke out into discussion. Only the Emperor had a calm expression.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The hearts of the three half-step Void God Realms shook. They were sent flying by the Void God intent, and blood dripped from their mouths.


    ¡°An intent of a King? Has Nan Gongsheng become a King?¡±


    ¡°No, his cultivation is still at the half-step Void God Realm, but his soul has already formed true Void God Realm King intent.¡±


    The spectators broke out into chaos.


    In this instant, all the geniuses looked at Nan Gongsheng with respect and admiration.


    Forming true Void God intent meant that Nan Gongsheng had no bottleneck.


    Boom!


    A brand-new Void God intent shot up into the sky and ignited the power of the universe.


    In their sight, Nan Gongsheng seemed to become one with heaven.


    From now on, his intent had the ability of a King and could easily kill normal Origin Core Realms.


    ¡°A new King intent.¡±


    ¡°Has someone become a King?¡±


    The Divine Senses of many Void God Realm Kings and Emperors flashed across the air.


    However, their hearts shook when they realized that this new King intent came from a junior.


    ¡°Nan Gongsheng¡¯s only thirty-something years old and has already formed King intent.¡±


    ¡°As expected of the number one genius of the Sacred Land who has the peerless Spatial Spirit Body and the peerless Heaven Spirit Body.¡±


    Some Kings sighed.


    Normal experts needed more than a hundred years or even several hundred years to become a King.


    However, Nan Gongsheng was indeed talented.


    The cultivation bodies of the world were split into the Mortal, Spiritual, Earth, and Heaven ranks.


    Normal cultivators only had Spiritual bodies.


    Back in the Guanjun Province, Zhao Feng and company¡¯s bodies were only half Spiritual bodies.


    Earth ranked bodies were already extremely rare, and this Nan Gongsheng had the highest Heaven ranked body.


    On top of that, he had the unique Spatial Spirit Body.


    The Spatial Spirit Body meant that his compatibility with Space, Heaven, and Earth was extremely high. This was a body that couldn¡¯t be inherited; it was completely random.


    Such talent meant that Nan Gongsheng was one of the most talented people in the Sacred Land. Only the two people with Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines could be compared to him.


    Inside his garden, Zhao Feng opened his eyes as he felt a new King intent spread across the main Spiritual Peak.


    ¡°He is Nan Gongsheng?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind split into twenty or thirty thoughts that leapt into the air.


    Over the last couple days, Zhao Feng had absorbed a large amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura to consolidate his cultivation.


    However, just after he broke through, he witnessed the magnificence of the number one genius of the Sacred Land, Nan Gongsheng.


    ¡°The intent of a King¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. Everything seemed tiny against such a thing.


    This was the Spiritual Sacred Land, a place where cultivation could increase by leaps and bounds.


    Nan Gongsheng was at the top of the top ten geniuses, and he led the ¡°clash between Sheng and Meng.¡±


    Sheng represented Nan Gongsheng, who had the three-star Mystic True Sacred Clan behind his back.


    Meng represented Meng Xi, who had the three-star Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan behind her back.


    After witnessing Nan Gongsheng¡¯s strength, Zhao Feng thought about Meng Xi, who apparently had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. She shouldn¡¯t be too far off from Nan Gongsheng.


    As the day of the Demigod Forgotten Garden opening was approaching, the disciples in seclusion came out.


    Each of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land came out, and they had all improved.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng also stopped cultivating and started to read the information regarding the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Although the Demigod Forgotten Garden sounded like a garden, in reality, it was a secret realm that was ranked even higher than the Purple Saint Ruins.


    After all, the Purple Saint Ruins was already extremely weak, not even one tenth as strong as when it was at its peak.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao.¡±


    A voice sounded from outside.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng¡¯s Spiritual Sense instantly scanned outside and saw a disciple.


    The disciple was a youth in green robes who seemed to be somewhat lowkey.


    ¡°Senior Martial Brother Dong.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and walked out.


    He met many Core disciples during the disciple ceremony, and this Senior Martial Brother Dong, whose full name was Dong Wenjian, was one of them.


    More importantly, Dong Wenjian was Duanmu Qing¡¯s in-name disciple, and his father was a half-step Void God Realm in the middle echelon.


    Back then, Duanmu Qing took Dong Wenjian as his in-name disciple because he saw that the latter¡¯s father was extremely hard working and was moved.


    Dong Wenjian¡¯s talent was only considered to be average in the Sacred Land.


    Normally, Duanmu Qing would spend most of his time in seclusion, and he would spend many years every time he entered seclusion. This meant that Duanmu Qing didn¡¯t have many chances to truly give pointers to Dong Wenjian.


    ¡°Junior Brother Zhao, there¡¯s still three days till the opening of the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and Master¡¯s not here. How is your preparation?¡±


    Dong Wenjian was extremely warm.


    The two were both under the same Emperor, but one was a Personal disciple while the other was only an in-name disciple.


    Although there was a difference in status, they at least had the same master.


    As Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t familiar with many people, he could only walk with Dong Wenjian.


    ¡°I¡¯ve made a small improvement in my seclusion. Although I might not be on the Top Ten Geniuses¡¯ level, I won¡¯t lose Master¡¯s face.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and he was relatively humble.


    Dong Wenjian looked at Zhao Feng with complex emotions, including jealousy and wariness.


    Zhao Feng was only 23 years old at most and he already had such cultivation.


    Dong Wenjian had also watched Zhao Feng¡¯s battle with Zuo Hong, and he guessed that he probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to last thirty moves if it were him.


    And now, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation had increased even more and reached the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm. There was also a power in his body that brought a lot of pressure.


    That day, Zhao Feng and Dong Wenjian started to talk to others around the Sacred Land, mainly for two reasons.


    One was information about the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    The Demigod Forgotten Garden had existed for an extremely long time, and the information that every King and Emperor possessed had slight differences.


    Some Emperors and Kings might have more complete information.


    For example, Duanmu Qing was usually in seclusion and acted lowkey, which meant that the information he had was not the most complete.


    On top of that, people could help each other in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Due to these reasons, Dong Wenjian went to talk with other Core disciples.


    After all, the two superpowers and the thirty-three two-star sects were about to enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and it was normal for there to be casualties.


    Time flew, and the three days passed in the blink of an eye.


    On this day, the once-every-five-hundred-years Demigod Forgotten Garden finally opened.


    Boom!


    The outline of a garden appeared in the corner of the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak with a magnificent power that shook Heaven and Earth.

 637 Wen Luoan

    On the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak, two or three hundred disciples of the True Martial Sacred Land gathered in front of a tattered palace.


    The outline of a garden could be seen above their heads.


    At the beginning, the outline was extremely blurry and existed in a void-like state, but as time passed, the outline of the garden became clearer and clearer, as if it was trying to materialize.


    At the front and back of the garden, there were ancient, rusty green doors with divine beasts made from marble next to them. Although they were fake, they gave off a metallic feeling and seemed as if they were still alive.


    ¡°The Demigod Forgotten Garden usually takes one hour to fully open.¡±


    Dong Wenjian¡¯s voice sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s ear.


    Zhao Feng and Dong Wenjian were standing amongst the crowd from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    The two or three hundred geniuses below the entrance of the Demigod Forgotten Garden were comprised of disciples from the two Sacred Clans and the thirty-three two-star sects.


    Being a three-star superpower, the Mystic True Sacred Clan had 50 spots, while normal two-star sects only had five. The stronger two-star sects had more ¨C around eight to ten.


    For example, the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect had ten spots, whereas the Golden Mountain Sect only had five.


    Before the Demigod Forgotten Garden opened, Dong Wenjian told Zhao Feng about the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land, as well as some other strong figures.


    Nan Gongsheng led the Mystic True Sacred Clan. After him were Che Yilin and Senior Martial Brother Nan*, who had both reached the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm. These three were all amongst the top ten geniuses.


    Of course, apart from them, there were also a couple geniuses from the Mystic True Sacred Clan that were just a tier below the top ten geniuses, like those at the early and middle stages of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Apart from them, Jiang Fan and his bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races might also be able to challenge the top ten geniuses.


    At this moment, Jiang Fan¡¯s gaze landed on Zhao Feng, and his expression became somewhat ugly.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation has also reached the late stages of the Small Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Jiang Fan tightened his fists together, and he felt somewhat defeated in his heart.


    Back at the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, Zhao Feng was just a ¡°tiny figure¡± who would never interact with him anymore in his eyes.


    Chen Yilin, who was next to Jiang Fan, also noticed this.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s improvement wasn¡¯t just quick, it had surpassed even Jiang Fan, who had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Jiang, don¡¯t think too much about it. Even with the same level of cultivation, you have a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, so you¡¯ll definitely win. Your opponents are the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land.¡±


    Che Yilin smiled and comforted.


    Hearing that, Jiang Fan¡¯s expression calmed down a little. He decided to surpass Zhao Feng by getting better rewards in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    ¡°Disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan, after entering the Demigod Forgotten Garden, you need to help each other. Do not attack or kill one another.¡±


    A powerful Emperor¡¯s intent sounded in the minds of the disciples.


    _Regulations Elder!_


    The hearts of the Core disciples shook as they agreed.


    With Dong Wenjian¡¯s introductions, Zhao Feng was able to recognize some other experts from other forces.


    ¡°She is Meng Xi. Only she can counter Nan Gongsheng amongst the top ten geniuses, and she has a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.¡±


    Their gazes landed on a young female in a blue dress.


    The girl had a perfect face and starry eyes. Her hair fell to the ground and blew gently in the wind, yet it was somehow not dirty and seemed to present a perfect image.


    When the gazes of all the disciples landed on Meng Xi, their hearts were shaken.


    In every aspect, Meng Xi fulfilled the image of a goddess.


    ¡°What a weird bloodline aura.¡±


    When he saw her, Zhao Feng felt as if he wanted to protect her.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye gently jumped, and Zhao Feng became calm again as he escaped the beautiful sensation.


    ¡°That Meng Xi¡¯s bloodline power is biased toward the soul.¡±


    Zhao Feng concluded.


    _Hmm?_


    The gaze of the girl in blue with long hair suddenly turned and landed on Zhao Feng.


    A powerful pressure descended on Zhao Feng¡¯s soul, and Meng Xi¡¯s eyes locked on to Zhao Feng¡¯s body for a breath or two.


    Dong Wenjian, who was next to Zhao Feng, felt his thoughts, bloodline, and power freeze.


    Meng Xi¡¯s actions raised the attention of other geniuses. Someone that was able to raise Meng Xi¡¯s interest was definitely not simple.


    ¡°He¡¯s that new Core disciple?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng couldn¡¯t help but glance toward Zhao Feng, but he wasn¡¯t surprised.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, he¡¯s that Zhao Feng who became Emperor Duanmu¡¯s Personal disciple¡­.¡±


    Another Core disciple nearby said.


    At the same moment, Zhao Feng felt many pressuring eyes land on him. They were from the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land.


    Amongst them, Zhao Feng felt a gaze full of enmity and killing intent.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, life is so. We meet again. This time, we shall dance on the same stage.¡±


    A warm and smiling youth from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan inspected Zhao Feng.


    Right at this moment, Dong Wenjian spoke, ¡°That warm-looking youth is called Wen Luoan, a disciple that has just joined the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, and he shouldn¡¯t be weaker than the top ten geniuses. He¡¯s most likely the biggest dark horse this time.¡±


    The cultivation of the warm-looking Wen Luoan had reached the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Wen Luoan?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he became on guard.


    The warm youth gave him a dangerous pressure.


    ¡°Apart from the two Sacred Clans, Lei Zhen from the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect has the rare Ancient Lightning Spiritual Bloodline, and he focuses on the power of Lightning. His battle-power is extremely strong.¡±


    Dong Wenjian warned.


    _Lei Zhen?_


    Zhao Feng looked over and saw a bulky, barefooted man with a large sword on his back.


    This Lei Zhen¡¯s cultivation had reached the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm, and the aura of lightning from his body made even Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning True Yuan shake.


    ¡°What a powerful aura of Lightning.¡±


    Zhao Feng could sense how terrifying this person was just by the power of Lightning radiating from him.


    ¡°Hmph, the inheritance of the Wind Lightning Emperor? Back then, the Wind Lightning Emperor came to the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect and comprehended many techniques here, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have become so famous.¡±


    Lei Zhen murmured to himself.


    The Ten Thousand Lightning Sect was one of the most elite forces in the Cang Ocean that cultivated in lightning.


    Their strength was also incredibly close to a three-star superpower, and they easily surpassed the Golden Mountain Sect.


    Even the Wind Lightning Emperor had once cultivated in the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect. Without the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect, there would be no Wind Lightning Emperor.


    ¡°None of the top ten prodigies of the Sacred Land are simple.¡±


    Zhao Feng paid special attention to every one of the ten that Dong Wenjian told him about.


    As time passed, the outline of the garden above became clearer, and the air on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak shook slightly.


    It was as if two spaces were squeezing together, and Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see something.


    If space were compared to bubbles, then a smaller bubble had just merged into a bigger bubble.


    The Demigod Forgotten Garden was a secret realm that was created by a Demigod with heaven-defying methods.


    ¡°The Demigod Forgotten Garden will open soon.¡±


    The two or three hundred Sacred Land geniuses above the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak raised their heads.


    At this moment in time, all they could see was the outline of the Demigod Forgotten Garden and two green doors.


    ¡°There¡¯s two entrances to the Demigod Forgotten Garden. One at the front, the other at the back.¡±


    Information regarding the Demigod Forgotten Garden appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    The two green doors were guarded by the Mystic True Sacred Clan and the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.


    Behind them were the stronger two-star sects.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    Space shook again.


    Luckily, the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak¡¯s space was extremely stable, and it had spatial stabilizing arrays.


    A corner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden dropped down and fully landed on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.


    ¡°A corner of the Forgotten Garden has merged onto the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.¡±


    ¡°The Demigod Forgotten Garden has been successfully opened.¡±


    Divine Senses from experts of the sects and clans filled the air.


    ¡°Let¡¯s enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng charged at the front and turned into a silver streak of light that sped into the green door.


    At the same moment, Meng Xi with her extremely long hair flashed by.


    Sheng and Meng, the two super prodigies, stood at the peak and entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden with unparalleled speed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The geniuses from the two Sacred Clans sped into the green doors.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao, you should meet up with the other disciples of the clan when you enter. That way, you won¡¯t be disadvantaged¡­.¡±


    Dong Wenjian warned as he also leapt into a green door.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and left a purple Wind Lightning afterimage behind as he disappeared.


    ¡°So, it¡¯s the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning.¡±


    A cold intent came from Lei Zhen of the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect behind.


    Weng~~~


    As more and more people entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the two green doors started to become unstable. When all two or three hundred disciples went in, the color of the green doors had faded to the limit.


    Bang!


    The two green doors shut at the same time.


    Only a corner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden could be seen on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.


    Even the Divine Senses of Kings and Emperors found it extremely hard to enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body dropped into an old forest.


    A crushing pressure from the Demigod Forgotten Garden instantly descended upon him.


    ¡°As expected.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure paused slightly before starting to walk.


    The space of the Demigod Forgotten Garden was much stronger than the Sacred Land. Zhao Feng learned this several days ago.


    Around the same point in time, many of the geniuses that entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden stumbled.


    ¡°What a strong pressure.¡±


    These geniuses had red faces and found it hard to breathe.


    Those with Small Origin Core Realm cultivations couldn¡¯t even fly here. Even those at the Great Origin Core Realm could only barely do so.


    Apart from that, all types of powers and intents were restricted here.


    For example, in the outside world, a wide-area attack from a Great Origin Core Realm could sweep across dozens of miles and destroy a small city, but in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the same attack would only cover ten or twenty yards. Every other aspect, such as speed, was also restricted.


    *Translator Note: Brother Nan is not to be confused with Nan Gongsheng. The two are different people.

 638 Belief of a Loner

    Within the Demigod Forgotten Garden, everyone that entered felt a powerful pressure descend upon them and suppress their powers.


    Some of the geniuses at the Small Origin Core Realm found it hard to move or even breathe. They needed some time to get used to the pressure here.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure froze for a moment before starting to walk.


    Although the pressure here was strong, it was nothing compared to the pressure in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye inspected every flower and piece of wood in the Demigod Forgotten Garden and felt a weird sensation.


    There seemed to be an immortal intent somewhere controlling the power of Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader.¡±


    Zhao Feng tried to connect with the skeletal Division Leader within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, but he found that the skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t leave the pearl.


    He wasn¡¯t surprised. Over the last couple days, he read a lot of information regarding the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    The Demigod Forgotten Garden had its own laws.


    Firstly, those that entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden had to rely on their own powers without using any ¡°outside help.¡±


    Under that law, the skeletal Division Leader was suppressed within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl.


    Zhao Feng then tried to reach out to the little thieving cat and it ended in success.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder.


    This was because the little thieving cat was Zhao Feng¡¯s pet. Pets weren¡¯t under the restriction, otherwise all the beast tamers wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    At the same moment, in another corner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden, a warm youth gazed at a black bracelet on his wrist.


    Weng~~


    The black bracelet gently shook as a Void God Realm aura surged from within.


    ¡°Third Prince, the Demigod intent in the Demigod Forgotten Garden controls Heaven and Earth here. I can¡¯t help you.¡±


    A voice sounded from the bracelet.


    ¡°The Demigod Forgotten Garden is indeed not simple. Let¡¯s slowly enjoy this game.¡±


    The warm youth Wen Luoan smiled.


    Within the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the geniuses that tried to cheat revealed disappointed expressions. All types of outside help were useless here.


    Of course, nothing was absolute.


    ¡°It succeeded! As expected of Master, a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord who left behind this trick in the Demigod Forgotten Garden a long time ago.¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s hand flipped, and a purple unicorn¡¯s horn appeared in her hand.


    The purple unicorn¡¯s horn seemed to be just a simple tool; it didn¡¯t contain any kind of stored entity or ¡°outside help.¡± However, with this purple unicorn¡¯s horn, Meng Xi smiled with confidence.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll first go to the Hundred Flower Garden, then toward the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower or maybe the Heart Healing Palace¡­.¡±


    With a plan in mind, Meng Xi¡¯s figure flashed. Even with the Demigod Forgotten Garden¡¯s suppression, her speed was extremely quick.


    Although the Demigod Forgotten Garden sounded like a mere garden, it was actually a large secret realm that contained many fortunes and treasures, but there was also an accompanying danger.


    Every genius in the Sacred Land knew most of the information about the Demigod Forgotten Garden. The only difference between them was how much they knew.


    ¡°En, according to the plan, I should go to the Purple Smoke Lake first. I have the biggest advantage there.¡±


    Zhao Feng had his own plan.


    He had studied some information about the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Sou!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure moved with a purple flash.


    The path below him was made from a green jade stone, which is what most of the pathways in the Demigod Forgotten Garden were made of. Everywhere else consisted mainly of grass and wood.


    According to the experience of the people that had entered this place in the past, if one went on the pathways of this green jade stone, they were less likely to meet the attacks of powerful beasts.


    After all, the entire place was filled with forests and grass, and there were some places that had hidden threats.


    Spiritual Sense was also restricted within the Demigod Forgotten Garden, so people would normally not enter the places outside of the green jade stone.


    At a certain moment:


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure jumped onto a big tree. He opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and looked down in order to observe the landscape.


    ¡°Luckily, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye can help a lot here.¡±


    Zhao Feng soon figured out where he was.


    Although everyone that came into the Demigod Forgotten Garden had information, not many had a complete map.


    The Demigod Forgotten Garden only opened once every five hundred years, and the entire True Martial Sacred Land had only scouted out 60-70% of the place. There were still a lot of unknown forbidden places.


    Through his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng could see the landscape and analyze where he was relative to what he knew, which meant that he knew how to get to the Purple Smoke Lake.


    Ceng!


    Zhao Feng increased his speed, but he didn¡¯t fly. It had been a long time since he used such techniques.


    On the way, he met some geniuses from the Sacred Land.


    When entering the Demigod Forgotten Garden, everyone was sent to a certain position on the green jade stone.


    Boom!


    The sound of fighting came from the mountain ahead.


    A bunch of geniuses had found a rare plant that was extinct in the outside world, and it could help strengthen one¡¯s bloodline.


    However, next to the rare plant was a beast comparable to the Great Origin Core Realm, so the place was filled with fighting.


    A total of four or five geniuses entered the fray.


    Zhao Feng looked them over and saw that there was no one from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    Although the value of the rare plant was great, Zhao Feng was too lazy to go over.


    There were plenty of fortunes here. His target was the Purple Smoke Lake.


    Zhao Feng continued to go on his journey, avoiding everyone else from the Sacred Land. However, the Demigod Forgotten Garden was huge, and everyone¡¯s speed was limited.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng had only passed two-thirds of the distance there.


    Right at this moment, a tower that glittered with gold appeared in the forest in front.


    Although it was far away, Zhao Feng could feel an air of treasure radiating from that golden tower.


    ¡°Hmm? Could that tower in front be the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s footsteps paused.


    The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower contained the savings of a Demigod. These treasures were all earth-shaking and had unique abilities.


    Apparently, there were rumors that any random treasure within could change the destiny of a mortal.


    Over the last dozen millennia, the treasures from the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower had created many legends.


    A mysterious ring created a Void God Realm King.


    A weird token created a two-star super-sect.


    A mysterious coin changed the fate of someone normal.


    Apart from that, the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower also contained items similar to Void God Protections that could be used within the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Because these items came from the Demigod Forgotten Garden to begin with, they weren¡¯t restricted by Heaven and Earth.


    All these reasons made the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower an important target of all the geniuses.


    As expected, when Zhao Feng reached the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, there were already many people there ¨C around forty or fifty.


    One had to know that this was only the beginning of the Demigod Forgotten Garden opening. Every time it opened, there was only half a month¡¯s time.


    ¡°There¡¯s already so many geniuses gathered here on the first day.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    He had thought about tackling the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower first earlier, but he decided to give up.


    The competition here was too fierce, and the tower itself was full of dangerous challenges.


    It was hard for a single person alone to accomplish anything, unless they were as strong as Nan Gongsheng or Meng Xi.


    Simply put, it was best to create a team.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao.¡±


    A voice sounded from a group of five or six in front of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.


    The voice belonged to Dong Wenjian.


    The leader of Dong Wenjian¡¯s group was Brother Nan, who was from the Mystic True Sacred Clan and one of the top ten geniuses.


    Zhao Feng stopped.


    He currently had two choices:


    One, join the Mystic True Sacred Clan¡¯s group.


    Two, don¡¯t.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao, why not join our group? The more people we have, the stronger we will be. We can enter the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower together.¡±


    Dong Wenjian said warmly.


    Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t been with the Mystic True Sacred Clan for long, so the only person he somewhat knew was Dong Wenjian, and that was only because they were both under Emperor Duanmu.


    ¡°Hehe, Junior Martial Brother Zhao¡¯s strength is not bad. I saw him personally defeat Zuo Hong.¡±


    Some of the others within the group revealed their good intents.


    The competition within the Demigod Forgotten Garden was fierce, and there were many forces here. It was best for those from the same force to help each other.


    Senior Martial Brother Nan was expressionless, but he didn¡¯t decline. The more people they had, the stronger they were. In his eyes, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was average, so at least he wouldn¡¯t drag them down.


    Zhao Feng was silent. His eyes flashed with decisiveness.


    ¡°Senior Martial Brother Dong, I¡¯m very sorry, I have my own plans, so I can¡¯t join your group for now.¡±


    Zhao Feng said slightly regretfully.


    His first target was the Purple Smoke Lake. The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower wasn¡¯t suitable for Zhao Feng.


    He only just joined the Mystic True Sacred Clan, so he wasn¡¯t familiar with the other Core disciples yet.


    Although Dong Wenjian was also Duanmu Qing¡¯s disciple, he still felt slightly jealous and unbalanced.


    Zhao Feng knew all of that clearly.


    This wasn¡¯t the Floating Crest Palace from the Broken Moon Clan. He didn¡¯t have any true friends here in the Demigod Forgotten Garden that he could rely on. Therefore, in Brother Nan¡¯s group, he would only be used without receiving much in return.


    ¡°The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower¡­ isn¡¯t currently suitable for me.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure turned into a purple streak as he continued on his way after declining.


    He was prepared to be a loner in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and he was confident in himself.


    Even if he was a loner, he would fight a path for himself.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s rejection made Dong Wenjian¡¯s expression slightly ugly. In the bottom of his heart, he didn¡¯t like Zhao Feng due to jealousy, but he also didn¡¯t dare to offend him. After all, Zhao Feng was favored by Duanmu Qing while he was only an in-name disciple.


    ¡°Hmph, let him go alone and perish on his own. Without the strength of one of the top ten prodigies, loners will die.¡±


    Brother Nan¡¯s expression was ugly. Zhao Feng declining to join his group made him lose face.

 639 Zhao Feng’s Plan

    Four hours later, Zhao Feng safely arrived at a faint purple-colored lake.


    The lake was several hundred miles wide. When one looked from afar, it seemed to be a perfect piece of jade.


    ¡°This is the largest lake in the Demigod Forgotten Garden ¨C the Purple Smoke Lake.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowed down and became cautious.


    At this moment, he had strayed from the path of the green jade stone and was currently approaching the slightly wet mud near the lake.


    There was an intent that controlled the laws in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and most beasts didn¡¯t dare to enter the green jade stone path. For outsiders, the green jade stone path was relatively safe, but now Zhao Feng had left the path and was about to enter the Purple Smoke Lake area.


    ¡°The Purple Smoke Lake is one of the places with the best fortune in the entire Demigod Forgotten Garden. It has many unique treasures and resources.¡±


    Zhao Feng stepped onto the mud and approached the faintly purple-colored lake.


    The lake contained a spiritual power within it, which created rare and precious resources but also created powerful water beasts at the same time.


    ¡°Purple Scaled Grass!¡±


    Low exclamations came from several geniuses near the shore.


    Bam!


    A male covered in a layer of water grabbed a weird-looking scaled grass, leapt out of the water, and ran toward the shore.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Dozens of nearby fish bared their teeth and followed.


    The weakest of these fish were at the True Lord Rank, and the strongest ones had reached the Origin Core Realm.


    The environment of the Demigod Forgotten Garden meant that the growth of anything living inside was at least ten times and up to even a hundred times faster than the outside world.


    __


    _The Purple Scaled Grass is a grass that can strengthen one¡¯s body and help anyone below the Void God Realm._


    Information surfaced in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    The Purple Scaled Grass was almost extinct in the outside world, but there were vast quantities of it in the Purple Smoke Lake.


    In the entire Cang Ocean, over 90% of the Purple Scaled Grass came from here, so there was basically no supply for it.


    Apart from strengthening the body, the Purple Scaled Grass had another weird effect; if one ate a large amount of Purple Scaled Grass, they might be able to obtain a defensive Water bloodline.


    Simply put, it could give someone a Water element bloodline. This sounded incredible, but anything that sounded incredible was normal in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    After all, the owner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden had taken half a step into the realm of the gods.


    ¡°Help me¡­!¡±


    The male screamed as several hundred fish attacked him.


    In the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the pressure from Heaven and Earth was extremely strong, and normal Origin Core Realm cultivators weren¡¯t even able to fly. Even those at the Great Origin Core Realm could only momentarily travel in the air.


    Although the male specialized in Water element techniques, he was facing the attacks of several hundred fish in the lake.


    Most of the fish in the Purple Smoke Lake were carnivores, and they had a sharp sense of smell toward strangers and would attack them instinctively.


    ¡°Quick! Help Junior Martial Brother Zhu!¡±


    There were two disciples on the shore. One of them pulled out a bow while the other used a soul technique that sent mental energy through the air in order to stop the attacks from the fish. However, even with all that, as the man was about to reach the shore, his entire body was covered in blood.


    It was at that moment that something unexpected happened.


    A chaotic wave surged out from the lake as the giant figure of a dark, scaled creature could be seen.


    ¡°Watch out!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s an ancient crocodile!¡±


    The other two disciples, who were both at the late-stage of the Small Origin Core Realm, unleashed attacks on the crocodile.


    However, the crocodile¡¯s scales were extremely tough. It took the attacks of the two Small Origin Core Realms head-on, and there were no signs of obvious damage anywhere.


    Boom!


    The ancient crocodile¡¯s scales had a faint purple color to them as it leapt toward the male.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The male that trained in Water techniques ran as fast as he could but was still bit on the leg.


    Crack!


    After losing a leg, the male managed to escape the danger zone with the help of the other two disciples.


    ¡°The number of beasts in the Purple Smoke Lake and their strength are greater than we imagined.¡±


    The three were shocked.


    Although they had gotten one stalk of grass, one of them had lost a leg. While the value of a Purple Scaled Grass was high, the price they paid was too much.


    ¡°One needs at least a dozen Purple Scaled Grasses to obtain that defensive Water bloodline.¡±


    The expressions of the three were bitter.


    At the same time, the figures of other geniuses started to appear near the Purple Smoke Lake.


    Only those at the Great Origin Core Realm would be able to obtain some good stuff without being injured.


    The Purple Scaled Grass was only one of the rare treasures in the Purple Smoke Lake.


    ¡°The depths of the lake contain more valuable treasures. Apparently, there¡¯s even a mermaid race in the depths of the lake, as well as a secret palace¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think; he wasn¡¯t in a rush.


    As they were unable to fly, even those at the Great Origin Core Realm could only test their luck near the shore.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s train of thought became clearer, and he decided what to do.


    ¡°Hmm? That brat¡¯s alone. Which sect¡¯s Core disciple is he?¡±


    ¡°He looks pretty new.¡±


    The gazes of the three-man team from before landed on Zhao Feng, who was slowly approaching them.


    The three had wary expressions. One of them gripped his bow, another started to circulate his secret soul technique, and the last male, who trained in the element of Water, put the Purple Scaled Grass away.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with the three. He sat down near where the ancient crocodile had appeared.


    ¡°The ancient crocodile is a rare race in the Purple Smoke Lake that can also attack on land.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he sat down in front of the three wary gazes.


    The three were secretly stunned. Was this blue-haired youth arrogant or just retarded? An ancient crocodile had just attacked right there and he still dared to sit there?


    ¡°The three of us come from the Dark Cloud Sect. May we know which sect you come from?¡±


    The archer spoke.


    ¡°Mystic True Sacred Clan, Zhao Feng.¡±


    Zhao Feng said nonchalantly with his back toward the three.


    _Mystic True Sacred Clan._


    The three from the Dark Cloud Sect instantly revealed wary expressions. They didn¡¯t dare to underestimate him at all.


    The two Sacred Clans stood at the peak of the Sacred Land.


    Even in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the disciples of the two-star sects were disadvantaged against those from the three-star Clans.


    ¡°Retreat for now.¡±


    The three retreated back to the green jade stone path and recovered.


    They didn¡¯t leave. Instead, they stayed and watched the progress of other geniuses nearby.


    Most of the geniuses were chased away by the fish within the lake. Only a couple Great Origin Core Realms and a female beast tamer got any rewards.


    The female beast tamer had tamed more than a dozen fish to gather treasure in the lake.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze landed on the female beast tamer and he nodded his head.


    Right at this moment, a chaotic wave surged toward Zhao Feng.


    _The ancient crocodile!_


    The hearts of the three Dark Cloud Sect geniuses jumped.


    The battle-power of the ancient crocodile was almost at the peak Small Origin Core Realm, and it could even defend against attacks from Great Origin Core Realms.


    ¡°Good!¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face as he locked on to the crocodile with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    _Dark Heart Seal!_


    A cold intent shot out from his left eye and into the crocodile¡¯s soul.


    The body of the crocodile instantly froze in midair before falling to the ground.


    Zhao Feng sat unmoving, and his expression didn¡¯t change.


    After a breath or two, the ancient crocodile respectfully walked next to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°En, this is the first.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Although the physical defense of the crocodile was strong, its soul was average.


    ¡°This¡­!¡±


    The expressions of the three from the Dark Cloud Sect changed dramatically.


    ¡°He managed to control an ancient crocodile so easily?¡±


    The genius who specialized in the soul was shocked.


    The strength of one¡¯s soul usually needed to be at least at the Great Origin Core Realm to control an ancient crocodile, but even a Sovereign Lord who specialized in the soul couldn¡¯t control one so easily.


    The three then watched as Zhao Feng sat down on the crocodile. The crocodile started to swim around the shore, which was its territory.


    Zhao Feng sat on the crocodile, and the other fishes didn¡¯t dare to come near it.


    A while later, Zhao Feng met a second ancient crocodile.


    ¡°Dark Heart Seal!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye circulated his soul technique and successfully enslaved the second ancient crocodile.


    This meant that Zhao Feng now had two ancient crocodiles already.


    The eyes of the three from the Dark Cloud Sect bulged. With two ancient crocodiles, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t need to fear anything near the shore. However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use the crocodiles to gather treasure as they expected.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two ancient crocodiles continued to swim around the shore.


    An hour later:


    ¡°Three¡­ four¡­ five¡­.¡±


    The number of ancient crocodiles under Zhao Feng¡¯s control was increasing.


    At this moment, he even caught the female beast tamer¡¯s attention.


    ¡°That guy¡¯s eye-bloodline power can control five ancient crocodiles so easily?¡±


    The female beast tamer was stunned.


    One had to know that she had spent a very long time and only managed to control one ancient crocodile and more than a dozen fish.


    Furthermore, she needed to continue using her secret soul technique or else they would escape her control, whereas Zhao Feng¡¯s Dark Heart Seed fully enslaved the target.


    His technique was extremely efficient.


    ¡°He¡¯s already controlled five or six ancient crocodiles and can easily gather some of the precious resources near the shore.¡±


    The female beast tamer looked at Zhao Feng with puzzlement. Zhao Feng had already enslaved five or six ancient crocodiles, but there were no signs of him gathering anything.


    From that, one could see how ambitious he was. He probably had a bigger goal.


    Finally, after enslaving ten ancient crocodiles, Zhao Feng let out a breath and became slightly tired.


    ¡°Ten ancient crocodiles. The battle-power of each of them is comparable to the peak Small Origin Core Realm, and their defense can stop attacks from the Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    The hearts of the three from the Dark Cloud Sect trembled.


    The female beast tamer watched Zhao Feng¡¯s every action with envy. She couldn¡¯t help but wonder what this heaven-defying genius that specialized in the soul had in mind.

 640 Ruling the Purple Smoke Lake 1

    After enslaving ten ancient crocodiles, Zhao Feng would be able to dominate the shore of the Purple Smoke Lake with these subordinates alone.


    At this moment, all the geniuses nearby, including the two Great Origin Core Realms, were wary of Zhao Feng.


    His every action and movement raised attention.


    After resting for a while, Zhao Feng ordered the ten ancient crocodiles to slowly swim toward the center.


    He didn¡¯t dare to go too far in.


    There were many beasts in the Purple Smoke Loke. Some fish species numbered in the thousands and tens of thousands. If one was trapped by them, even half-step Void God Realms would need to retreat.


    The ancient crocodiles were only at the top of the food chain around the shore of the Purple Smoke Lake.


    Right at this moment:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A group of fish numbering up to a hundred appeared in the water ahead. The weakest of them had reached the True Lord Rank, and there were almost ten Origin Core Realm auras.


    The fish sensed the auras from the crocodiles and didn¡¯t dare to approach.


    ¡°Go.¡±


    Zhao Feng sat on a crocodile and ordered the other crocodiles to move closer to the group of fish.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The group of fish instantly panicked.


    Without several hundred of them, it would be hard for them to threaten the ten ancient crocodiles.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique ¨C One Thought into Ten.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind suddenly split into tens of thoughts, which all used the Dark Heart Seal on the fish.


    Since they were panicking and scared, they were easily enslaved by the Dark Heart Seal.


    In just one breath, Zhao Feng enslaved eighteen fish with his Dark Heart Seal.


    All of the fish were at least at the True Lord Rank, but the Dark Heart Seal used by Zhao Feng¡¯s Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was still able to control them.


    Whoosh~~


    The enslaved fishes swam up to the ancient crocodiles respectfully.


    ¡°He managed to control that many fish with just one thought?¡±


    The female beast tamer couldn¡¯t believe it. Her eyes were full of admiration.


    She trained in mental energy as well, so she knew that Zhao Feng¡¯s mastery had reached an extremely high level.


    Splitting one¡¯s mind into ten or twenty different thoughts and using a soul technique at the same time through each individual thought¡­ to her, this was already a grandmaster.


    However, enslaving eighteen fishes was just Zhao Feng¡¯s first wave.


    The second wave came as Zhao Feng¡¯s mind split once again and enslaved ten or twenty more fish.


    The third wave¡­ the fourth wave¡­ the fifth wave.


    After five waves, Zhao Feng already had a hundred fish and ten Origin Core Realm fish leaders.


    The female beast tamer was dazed.


    ¡°How strong is his soul? Even if he has an eye-bloodline that can reduce the amount of energy spent, it can¡¯t be used infinitely¡­.¡±


    The female beast tamer couldn¡¯t believe her eyes.


    She analyzed that Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was at least at the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm or stronger, and he had a Soul-based eye-bloodline that increased his efficiency on top of that.


    Zhao Feng now had ten ancient crocodiles and around a hundred fish.


    ¡°En, the first step¡¯s about complete.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. The number of troops he had was now enough to rule the shore of the Purple Smoke Lake.


    After resting for an hour to recover his energy, Zhao Feng sent some orders down.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The fishes started to move around the outer edges of the Purple Smoke Lake.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s command, the fishes formed groups and started to gather resources around the Purple Smoke Lake.


    ¡°The Purple Smoke Lake has many rare and precious resources. The efficiency of one person alone is too low, and there are too many threats in the lake anyway.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do anything himself, he simply handed everything off to his subordinates.


    The crocodiles were more familiar with the environment here, and they were actually rather intelligent.


    The hundred fishes were the main force for gathering resources while the ancient crocodiles were the bodyguards, and Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was responsible for finding the resources in the lake.


    ¡°Purple Scaled Grass!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up as he found traces of Purple Scaled Grass.


    Purple Scaled Grass was a resource that the Purple Smoke Lake created, and it had weird powers. Half the reason the geniuses came was for the Purple Scaled Grass.


    ¡°Not bad.¡±


    Zhao Feng held a few stalks of Purple Scaled Grass and confirmed they were genuine.


    With such a force under him, he believed he could find more.


    To test the effects of the Purple Scaled Grass, Zhao Feng decided to eat one.


    A cold aura instantly entered his flesh and blood, which started to burn.


    A faint layer of purple flames started to glow around Zhao Feng¡¯s body. He revealed a pained expression and struggled slightly.


    A normal Origin Core Realm cultivator would need at least half a month to absorb the energy from a single Purple Scaled Grass.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence wasn¡¯t simple after being strengthened by the Ancient Dream Realm aura. His absorption speed couldn¡¯t be thought of logically.


    ¡°The Purple Scaled Grass does indeed have an effect on my body and state of existence, but the effect for me isn¡¯t very strong.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt it clearly because his state of existence and body had reached the limit of the Great Origin Core Realm and were closing in on the Void God Realm.


    Even the body and state of existence of a half-step Void God Realm weren¡¯t as strong as Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Of course, Zhao Feng wanted the Purple Scaled Grass more because of its defensive Water bloodline.


    An item that could give someone a bloodline was rare throughout the entire Fan Universe. This was the most valuable aspect of the Purple Scaled Grass.


    As time passed, the army that Zhao Feng controlled gathered many resources, placing greater importance on the Purple Scaled Grass.


    As they gathered resources, it was unavoidable that there would be losses to the troops, but he was also enslaving more. Half a day later, the number of fishes under Zhao Feng¡¯s control had actually increased instead. The number had reached more than two hundred.


    As long as a target was enslaved by the Dark Heart Seal, they would obey him from the bottom of their soul, meaning that the energy used to control them afterwards would be extremely small.


    ¡°Purple Scaled Grass¡­ Black Water Insect Grass¡­ Water Precious Stone¡­ Guwu Shell¡­.¡±


    Rare treasures and resources of different kinds were sent to Zhao Feng. Furthermore, Zhao Feng only went for treasures and resources that were useful to the Origin Core Realm or extinct in the outside world. Amongst them, his main focus was still the Purple Scaled Grass.


    The other resources and treasures were mainly used for either outside help, pill making, weapon forging, or antidotes, whereas the Purple Scaled Grass could directly increase one¡¯s strength.


    He placed the greatest important on that type of resource.


    The efficiency of two hundred fish was extremely high, and the amount of Purple Scaled Grass in Zhao Feng¡¯s hands kept on increasing.


    ¡°Eighteen¡­ nineteen¡­ twenty¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Purple Scaled Grass kept increasing just by ordering his subordinates around, whereas others would use half a day¡¯s time to find one or two while facing the pursuit of many beasts in the process.


    Every hour or so, Zhao Feng would eat a clump of Purple Scaled Grass. As the amount he ate continued to add up, Zhao Feng¡¯s body became stronger, especially in terms of defense.


    When he ate ten pieces of Purple Scaled Grass, Zhao Feng felt his bloodline undergo a weird change. There seemed to be a dark purple Water aura within his flesh.


    _Hmm?_


    Zhao Feng tried to control this aura in his body.


    Weng~~


    A layer of dark purple markings appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s skin, which soon turned into scales.


    ¡°Success!¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. He now had a new bloodline power in his body.


    Zhao Feng could feel that the defense of the scales was strong, similar to the scales on the bodies of the ancient crocodiles.


    Ancient crocodiles were all only at the Small Origin Core Realm, and yet their defense could block attacks from the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Bloodline powers were usually based on how strong one¡¯s body was. Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence and body had both absorbed a lot of the Ancient Dream Realm aura, so the strength of his new defensive bloodline was shockingly powerful.


    ¡°This defensive bloodline just increased my overall defense by 30%.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook, and this was just the beginning. He was still eating more Purple Scaled Grass in order to increase the concentration of the bloodline.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng momentarily went into the Ancient Dream Realm to absorb its aura and purify the bloodline.


    ¡°Twenty-eight¡­ thirty¡­ thirty-five¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s small army was still expanding, and their efficiency was still increasing.


    The beasts were all intelligent to a certain degree, and Zhao Feng sent the image of the Purple Scaled Grass to the minds of the leaders and ordered them to focus on this special grass.


    On the second day, the number of Purple Scaled Grass pieces he had on hand had reached about forty.


    He was receiving Purple Scaled Grass faster than he could eat it.


    At this moment, his new bloodline power had evolved as well. He only needed a single thought to form the dark purple Water markings on his body, and the scales had become more condensed.


    ¡°My defense is now two times stronger than before, but this defensive bloodline doesn¡¯t affect my Water bloodline¡¯s defensive barrier.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that his body, especially in terms of defense, had become stronger.


    All of this landed in the eyes of the other geniuses of the Sacred Land.


    A day and a half had passed since the opening of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    There were twenty or thirty geniuses currently gathered around the Purple Smoke Lake, and Zhao Feng¡¯s harvests made them all jealous.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s army was becoming bigger and bigger. It was enough to make most of the other geniuses quite scared of him.


    ¡°Twenty ancient crocodiles and four hundred fish¡­.¡±


    The female beast tamer looked at Zhao Feng like she wasn¡¯t looking at a human.


    At another corner of the lake:


    ¡°A measly Small Origin Core Realm¡¯s taking over 90% of the Purple Scaled Grass.¡±


    ¡°His army has already taken more than half of all the resources and treasures here. We don¡¯t even get any bones to chew on.¡±


    Five or six geniuses gathered together. They looked at the army of water species with anger and unwillingness.


    Two of them had reached the Great Origin Core Realm. One of them was a male with a dry and withering face while the other was a youth who cultivated in the Sword Dao.


    The male with the withering face specialized in the Dao of Ghost Corpses and had an army of a hundred skeletons. Amongst them, eight had reached the Origin Core Realm, and a golden skeleton had reached the Sovereign Lord Rank.

 641 Ruling the Purple Smoke Lake 2

    ¡°Brother Jiu, you come from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan and specialize in the Dao of the Soul ¨C only you can take care of that brat.¡±


    One of the geniuses from a two-star sect suggested.


    Hearing that, all the other geniuses agreed, including the youth who cultivate the Sword Dao.


    Zhao Feng came from the three-star Mystic True Sacred Clan, so normal geniuses from two-star sects didn¡¯t dare to offend him.


    Their gazes landed on Brother Jiu who had a withering face.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Brother Jiu¡¯s eyes flashed.


    He was the strongest among their group.


    Back in the Purple Smoke Lake, Zhao Feng was sitting on an ancient crocodile, and the army of fish under his control were extremely active within a radius of several miles.


    He didn¡¯t dare to enter the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake yet, so he only gathered resources from the edges of the lake for now.


    ¡°According to the information, there are more powerful beasts in the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake, including mermaids and the mysterious palace at the bottom of the lake.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. The first step of his plan was to scavenge everything around the edges of the Purple Smoke Lake.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Large numbers of fish started to gather resources from the water nearby, and the Purple Scaled Grass was still the main target.


    Although the other resources and treasures may have been valuable, they couldn¡¯t increase his strength very quickly.


    ¡°Fifty-eight¡­ sixty¡­ sixty-three¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng counted the amount of Purple Scaled Grass in his hand.


    He had eaten over thirty pieces himself, and when complemented with the Ancient Dream Realm aura, its effect was stunning.


    With just a thought, a bunch of scaly, dark purple markings appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s skin like some kind of scaled shirt.


    ¡°It increases my defensive power, but there¡¯s no offensive effects. However, this bloodline can allow me to easily harmonize with the Purple Smoke Lake.¡±


    Zhao Feng realized, but he found that it was logical. After all, the Purple Scaled Grass originated from the Purple Smoke Lake.


    After eating such a large amount of Purple Scaled Grass, Zhao Feng obtained its defensive Water bloodline, which greatly increased his affinity with water, especially the Purple Smoke Lake¡¯s water.


    If Zhao Feng entered the Purple Smoke Lake right now, he wouldn¡¯t be considered an outsider by the other beings within the lake.


    The pressure on him had also decreased dramatically.


    _I¡¯ll start heading toward the depths of the lake after I gather a hundred pieces of Purple Scaled Grass._


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Right as he was thinking:


    Whoosh!


    On the other side of the shore, a dragon-shaped skeleton with five or six people on top gently moved across the surface on the water.


    ¡°Hmm? Ghost-corpse secret technique?¡±


    Zhao Feng looked over and saw five or six geniuses on the dragon-shaped skeleton. The two leaders were both Sovereign Lords ¨C Brother Jiu and the Sword Dao youth.


    The cultivation of the other four had reached the late and peak stages of the Small Origin Core Realm.


    The group of people charged over with greed in their eyes.


    ¡°Zhe zhe. Brat named Zhao, your ability to gather such a large amount of Purple Scaled Grass and other treasures makes us envy you.¡±


    Brother Jiu said in a weird tone.


    ¡°What do you want?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were as sharp as a knife, and the people aboard the bone dragon felt an invisible coldness.


    Given the current level of Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline and body, his gaze alone could put a lot of pressure on normal Sovereigns.


    ¡°We just want to buy some Purple Scaled Grass.¡±


    Brother Jiu wasn¡¯t scared. He had reached the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm and specialized in the Dao of the Soul. He wasn¡¯t scared of a Small Origin Core Realm who also happened to be talented in the Dao of the Soul.


    _Buy?_


    Zhao Feng squinted his eyes as he glanced at them.


    These people were obviously trying to cause trouble under the guise of ¡°buying.¡±


    The value of the Purple Scaled Grass in the outside world was immeasurable. A single piece alone was close to the value of a mid-tier Earth-Grade weapon, and you needed at least a dozen pieces to obtain the defensive Water bloodline, with at least twenty to guarantee it.


    ¡°How about we pay ten thousand high-grade Primal Crystal Stones for one piece?¡±


    Brother Jiu said.


    _Ten thousand high-grade Primal Crystal Stones?_


    The other geniuses watching from the shore choked. Ten thousand high-grade Primal Crystal Stones probably couldn¡¯t even buy a single root of the Purple Scaled Grass.


    This was obviously extortion.


    ¡°Fuck off.¡±


    Zhao Feng was too lazy to bother with them, but Brother Jiu and company obviously came here prepared.


    They didn¡¯t leave; instead, they started to cause trouble. For example, they would stop the fish from gathering treasures and killed a couple of them as well.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face became dim, but he laughed instead of getting angry.


    _Oh well, my goal is to rule the Purple Smoke Lake anyways. These people will be a great example to others._


    ¡°Go!¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered the twenty ancient crocodiles to attack Brother Jiu and company.


    Each of the twenty ancient crocodiles had battle-power comparable to a peak Small Origin Core Realm, and they all charged at Brother Jiu¡¯s group at the same time.


    The expressions of Brother Jiu and company changed, and the four geniuses not at the Great Origin Core Realm instantly started to panic.


    The ancient crocodiles had the terrain advantage, and their charge instantly pushed the group apart.


    ¡°Kill the leader!¡±


    Brother Jiu roared as he and the Sword Dao youth jumped over the crocodiles and charged toward Zhao Feng.


    Even the two Great Origin Core Realms felt a tingle in their scalps at the thought of having to fight twenty ancient crocodiles and hundreds of fish head-on. However, they knew what to do; Zhao Feng was their leader, so as long as they killed him, everything would crumble and they would be able to steal his stuff.


    Nothing was simpler than this plan.


    The two Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords charged at Zhao Feng from the front and the back at the same time.


    The Sword Dao youth¡¯s offense was extremely strong, so he was in the front, while Brother Jiu controlled the Sovereign Lord golden skeleton and used secret Soul techniques to try and disturb Zhao Feng¡¯s control of the fish from the back.


    ¡°Not good¡­!¡±


    The female beast tamer near the shore revealed an unresigned expression.


    Being a beast tamer herself, she knew that those who specialized in controlling others were most worried about being attacked head-on.


    In front of two Sovereign Lords from the Sacred Land, how could Zhao Feng come away unharmed?


    ¡°Appear.¡±


    Zhao Feng sat motionless as a black flag appeared in his hand.


    Shua!


    With a wave of the black flag, the hundred cursed ghost-corpses appeared, and dark smoke enveloped everything within dozens of yards.


    Sii!


    The youth who cultivated in the Sword Dao was instantly attacked by the ghostly smoke when he got near it, and invisible withered white hands started reaching into his body.


    Each of the hundred cursed ghost-corpses had now reached the half-step Origin Core Realm and merged with the Ancient Dream Realm aura. Their power was at least one or two times stronger than before.


    The Sword Dao youth had just charged in and he already felt his muscles turn cold and his essence and energy get sucked away.


    His battle-power instantly decreased by 30-40% and, as time passed, it would only continue to weaken. Once he stayed in the smoke for more than ten breaths, he would most likely turn into a pile of white bones.


    ¡°A hundred cursed ghost-corpses? Take a look at mine!¡±


    Brother Jiu laughed as he controlled the golden skeleton and made it charge into the Cursed Ghost Corpse Array.


    The golden skeleton wasn¡¯t really affected since it was also a ghost-corpse. Furthermore, this golden skeleton had reached the Great Origin Core Realm.


    This meant that Zhao Feng still had to face a healthy Sovereign Lord and a weakened Sword Dao Sovereign Lord.


    ¡°Everything will be okay as long as we kill him quickly.¡±


    Brother Jiu¡¯s heart was clear, but a scream came from the Cursed Ghost Corpse Array the next instant.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    The youth who cultivated in the Sword Dao was cut by a dark purple blade within the dark smoke.


    ¡°Blade of Purple Destruction!¡±


    The dark purple blade in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand radiated an aura of Destruction as it sliced into the Sword Dao youth, causing lightning to crackle and winds to roar.


    Although the Sword Dao youth had reached the early-stage of the Great Origin Core Realm and his battle-power surpassed other normal Sovereign Lords, his senses and strength were restricted in the array.


    ¡°How¡­?¡±


    The eyes of the youth bulged. He couldn¡¯t understand how Zhao Feng still had the time and energy to attack him while also controlling the array. Furthermore, the attack was extremely powerful.


    He obviously didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, which meant that it wasn¡¯t hard for him to control the array and attack at the same time.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure disappeared. The Sword Dao youth tried to run, but he was constricted by the dark smoke.


    The Sword Dao youth¡¯s fate was already sealed ¨C he had been critically injured, and he was now unable to escape. His essence and soul were being sucked out by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Within the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, Zhao Feng now only needed to face the Sovereign Lord golden skeleton.


    ¡°Purple Destruction Wind Lightning Whip!¡±


    A dark purple whip condensed in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand and wrapped itself around the golden skeleton.


    The power of lightning countered ghost-corpses dramatically to begin with, but on top of that, Zhao Feng¡¯s Purple Destruction Wind Lightning contained an aura of Destruction.


    The Core Center within his body had almost fully crystallized, and it was almost comparable to a Sovereign Lord. With the help of the Ancient Dream Realm aura, it was even closer to the origin, so its power was fundamentally stronger.


    Shu~~~


    The golden skeleton started to smoke as it struggled.


    ¡°Kneel!¡±


    Zhao Feng roared as he smashed a palm onto the golden skeleton. At this moment, he was like a giant beast.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence was getting close to that of a King¡¯s, but the power of his body exceeded logic with the help of the Ancient Dream Realm aura, heart blood essence, Purple Scaled Grass, and other things.


    He radiated a dense, ancient bloodline aura with the thrust of his palm.


    Zhhhh~~


    The golden skeleton was unable to move as the pressure descending upon it travelled throughout its body and mind.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Seal!¡±


    An ice-blue seal condensed on Zhao Feng¡¯s other hand and radiated a freezing cold energy that enveloped the golden skeleton.


    Siii!


    Frost started to appear on the golden skeleton¡¯s body.


    Plop!


    The golden skeleton was crushed onto the back of a crocodile by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it, you brat~~~~!¡±


    Brother Jiu¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he roared.


    At this moment, he no longer cared about the threat of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array as he charged in, hoping to try to save his golden skeleton. This was a Sovereign Lord ghost-corpse, after all.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with him. He used the coldness of the Ice Imperial Spear to its fullest extent.


    Shua!


    The golden skeleton was soon completely sealed in ice.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    Brother Jiu flew over and sent a palm toward Zhao Feng, but the latter stood unmoving.


    Weng~


    Dark purple scales appeared across his body, and he seemed to become a dragon-scaled warrior.


    Bam!


    The Great Origin Core Realm Brother Jiu¡¯s palm gave off a low thud.

 642 Ruling the Purple Smoke Lake 3

    ¡°What¡­!?¡±


    Brother Jiu exclaimed. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t move at all after being hit.


    Even though he specialized in Soul techniques, his close combat battle-power was still comparable to a normal Sovereign Lord.


    Weng~~


    A layer of dark purple scales appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s body, which increased his defense to a level where even someone at the Great Origin Core Realm would be stunned.


    The Purple Scaled Grass allowed Zhao Feng to display the strength of his state of existence to its fullest extent. If it were another Sovereign with a normal state of existence, the effect of the Purple Scaled Grass wouldn¡¯t have been so strong.


    ¡°Seal!¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with Brother Jiu. He circulated his bloodline power and completely sealed the golden skeleton.


    The golden skeleton lost the ability to fight back.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye then released a shocking surge of eye-bloodline power as a divine light of Purple Destruction Wind Lightning flame glinted in his eye.


    Shu~~~


    Black smoke started to rise from the golden skeleton sealed in ice as fear filled its eyes.


    Sii!


    Brother Jiu, whose soul was connected to the golden skeleton, couldn¡¯t help but groan. The mental energy mark he had left on the golden skeleton was being burned away by the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning eye-bloodline flame.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    Brother Jiu saw what Zhao Feng was trying to do. Dark flames appeared around his body like dragons and snakes, which then shot toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was calm as he continued to completely wipe away the mental energy mark on the golden skeleton.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, the size of the lake had already reached 80-90 yards.


    Over the last few months, Zhao Feng focused on the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique in order to train his soul, while also absorbing a large amount of the Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    His soul had reached a level only below that of a half-step King¡¯s, but the actual strength of his soul might be even stronger than a normal half-step King¡¯s because of the Ancient Dream Realm aura and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng had the absolute advantage in terms of soul strength.


    On top of that, he was using the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning eye-bloodline flame, which suppressed the Ghost Corpse Dao.


    Boom!


    Brother Jiu¡¯s even-stronger attack landed on Zhao Feng, and the surface of the scales on Zhao Feng¡¯s skin became slightly dented, but they quickly recovered.


    One had to remember that Zhao Feng not only had the new defensive Water bloodline, he also had another Water bloodline that excelled in defense and recovery to begin with. Thus, even though Brother Jiu¡¯s attack was strong enough to slightly damage Zhao Feng, the latter could recover very quickly.


    20%¡­ 30%¡­ 40%¡­.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye quickly started to destroy the mental energy mark on the golden skeleton. At the same time, he also started using the Dark Heart Seal to try to enslave the golden skeleton.


    ¡°A Sovereign Lord skeleton. That means the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array will soon have a leader.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl was filled with excitement. It could sense what was happening outside through the connection of the Dark Heart Seed.


    ¡°Stop~~!¡±


    Brother Jiu was as angry as thunder. He summoned his weapon and unleashed even more powerful attacks against Zhao Feng.


    However, he realized that his offense was becoming weaker. The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was slowly devouring his energy and essence.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    The youth who cultivated in the Sword Dao turned into a puddle of blood with a scream.


    Brother Jiu felt coldness spread across his body.


    The strong sense of danger made his face go white. Even though he was fighting back with his Soul techniques, his battle-power decreased to 60-70% of his maximum.


    ¡°If I don¡¯t run now, there¡¯ll be no hope.¡±


    Brother Jiu¡¯s scalp tingled as the blue-haired youth in front of him seemed to become a dragon-scaled beast. Although he was a Sovereign Lord, he wasn¡¯t able to harm his opponent at all.


    60%¡­ 70%¡­ 80%¡­.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s progress became faster and faster.


    Run!


    Brother Jiu lost all courage. Once Zhao Feng was free and had the time to attack, Brother Jiu wasn¡¯t confident he could avoid following in the Sword Dao youth¡¯s footsteps.


    This strength of this new Core disciple from the Mystic True Sacred Clan might be comparable to the top ten geniuses.


    Boom!


    A thick layer of dark smoke from the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array crushed toward Brother Jiu.


    80%¡­ 90%¡­ Done!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Purple Destruction Wind Lightning eye-bloodline flame managed to completely wipe out the mental energy mark on the golden skeleton, and his Dark Heart Seal was about to enslave the skeleton.


    Whoosh!


    Brother Jiu used a secret technique that increased his size, and he managed to barely escape out of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s range.


    However, in the next instant, more than a dozen ancient crocodiles and hundreds of fish charged toward him.


    Bam! Bam! Boom! Boom!


    Brother Jiu did his best to fight his way out.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s complete.¡±


    Zhao Feng successfully managed to enslave the golden skeleton with his Dark Heart Seal. His Dark Heart Seal could also be used on non-living existences such as ghost-corpses.


    Hu~~


    The golden skeleton charged out of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and toward Brother Jiu from behind.


    ¡°Dammit¡­!¡±


    Brother Jiu gritted his teeth, and his eyes almost exploded from anger. The Sovereign Lord ghost-corpse he had taken care of for more than a dozen years had been stolen by his opponent instantly, leaving a mark in his heart.


    At the same moment:


    ¡°Arghh! Argh!¡±


    The other four Core disciples who were facing the crocodiles and fish were killed one after another and their bodies were thrown into the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    That scene made Brother Jiu¡¯s body turn cold.


    From the beginning, Zhao Feng was fighting on at least three fronts:


    One, he controlled the ancient crocodiles and fish to surround the other four Core disciples.


    Two, he controlled the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to suppress the Sword Dao youth.


    Three, wiping out the mental energy mark on the golden skeleton while facing Brother Jiu¡¯s attacks.


    Of course, the third front was where Zhao Feng spent most of his time and energy.


    And now, Zhao Feng was controlling the golden skeleton to charge toward Brother Jiu.


    Near the shore, the other Core disciples watched with open mouths and bulging eyes.


    ¡°The control of a grandmaster, and his strength is almost comparable to the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land¡­.¡±


    The female beast tamer¡¯s eyes were filled with shock.


    The other geniuses of the Sacred Land watched as Brother Jiu lost his golden skeleton and was then chased by it.


    On a hidden hill near the lake, a few Core disciples were gathered together. If Zhao Feng was here, he would recognize that these Core disciples all came from the Mystic True Sacred Clan, and the leader was one of the top ten geniuses ¨C Chen Yilin.


    ¡°Brother Chen, that Zhao Feng¡¯s this strong? He defeated Jiu Motai and company single-handedly.¡±


    Jiang Fan said in disbelief.


    One had to know that Jiu Motai had reached the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm and had a Sovereign Lord golden skeleton servant. His strength was almost at the level of the top ten geniuses. Apart from that, the Sword Dao youth also came from a strong sect of the Sacred Land that cultivated the Dao of the Sword, and yet such a team had been defeated by Zhao Feng by himself.


    ¡°We¡¯ve underestimated Zhao Feng.¡±


    Chen Yilin had a solemn expression. They had been hiding here to see a good show.


    ¡°This means that we can¡¯t help him now and gain an advantage when negotiating with him.¡±


    Another early-stage Great Origin Core Realm genius said.


    They had watched as Zhao Feng controlled an army of beasts, and they were originally planning to wait until Zhao Feng needed support so they could help him, giving them more of an advantage when negotiating with him. Zhao Feng¡¯s army of aquatic beasts would play a big part in their plan to conquer the Purple Smoke Lake and reap all its treasures.


    Right at this moment:


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    One of Brother Jiu¡¯s arms was cut off by the golden skeleton in the process of running away.


    This was mainly because his strength had decreased to 50-60% after being weakened by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and he was being pestered by the ancient crocodiles and the fish on top of that.


    However, Brother Jiu finally managed to escape after paying the price of one arm.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng is too strong. He actually managed to kill so many Core disciples.¡±


    ¡°He comes from a three-star superpower and killed them out of self-defense. The two-star sects won¡¯t be able to do anything to him.¡±


    The nearby geniuses were full of wariness and respect toward Zhao Feng. Not only was Zhao Feng strong and decisive, he had the three-star Mystic True Sacred Clan behind his back.


    Although Zhao Feng lost a few subordinates in this fight, he had also gained quite a lot.


    Adding a Sovereign Lord skeleton to the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was like adding wings to a tiger.


    After resting for an hour, Zhao Feng controlled his army of beasts and replenished some troops.


    His army wasn¡¯t just limited to crocodiles and fishes. There were other races as well, such as water snakes.


    There were creatures who specialized in offense, defense, detection, assassination¡­ whatever one could think of, it was in the army of beasts.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng¡¯s army numbered seven or eight hundred in total. Over sixty percent of the army was comprised of fish, and the number of ancient crocodiles was around thirty.


    Such a force terrified the nearby geniuses.


    ¡°Terrifying!¡±


    ¡°That Zhao Feng probably wants to rule the entire Purple Smoke Lake and reap everything here.¡±


    The geniuses near the Purple Smoke Lake did their best to avoid Zhao Feng. They saw what happened to Brother Jiu and company.


    Zhao Feng made his massive army gather resources in an orderly fashion, and the amount of treasures in his possession soon increased.


    The amount of treasures he gathered in just half a day had already exceeded the wealth of some half-step Void God Realms.


    At the same time, the amount of Purple Scaled Grass he had was still increasing.


    ¡°Eighty-one¡­ eighty-three¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng counted.


    He had currently eaten thirty or forty pieces of Purple Scaled Grass, and the effect was becoming weaker and weaker. However, that was to be expected. It was impossible to increase one¡¯s strength limitlessly with outside help, including the Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    Ta! Ta! Ta!


    Footsteps stepping on water sounded. Che Yilin and three or four other Core disciples started to walk toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao.¡±


    Chen Yilin spoke with a smile.


    Zhao Feng controlled the army of beasts and made them open a path so that Chen Yilin and company could get closer.


    He wasn¡¯t too wary of the other disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan. Before they even entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the Regulations Elder had already given the order that the clan¡¯s disciples shouldn¡¯t fight with each other.


    ¡°Brother Chen, is there something you need?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled as his eyes glanced over Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan.


    Jiang Fan felt slightly awkward but didn¡¯t say anything. Life was such; back at the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, neither of them thought that they would one day compete or work with each other in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao,¡± Chen Yilin remained humble, ¡°although your army of beasts is strong, it¡¯s still not enough to gather the true treasures in the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake. You have to know that there are still the legendary mermaids in the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake, and there are even existences at the Void God Realm¡­.¡±

 643 Mermaid Kingdom

    ¡°What does Brother Chen have in mind?¡±


    Zhao Feng squinted his eyes. It was obvious that Chen Yilin had seen through his intentions of trying to gather the treasures from the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake.


    This also meant that Chen Yilin was ambitious. The depths of the Purple Smoke Lake was a forbidden area in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    There weren¡¯t merely a bunch of powerful beasts there. Most importantly, there were mermaids.


    Mermaids were a species that only appeared in legends, and their intelligence and talent weren¡¯t much weaker than humans.


    According to intelligence from the past, there was an extremely large number of mermaids within the lake ¨C enough that they could be considered a small kingdom.


    There were even Kings among the mermaids, simply known as Mermaid Kings.


    Whenever the Demigod Forgotten Garden opened in the past, there weren¡¯t many people that dared to enter the Mermaid Kingdom.


    Even those at the Void God Realm would find it hard to fight against the entire Mermaid Kingdom.


    ¡°I hope that Brother Zhao will put the greater good first and team up with us to gather resources from the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake. The value of mermaid tears is even higher than the Purple Scaled Grass.¡±


    Chen Yilin said solemnly.


    ¡°Mermaid tears? Just that?¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    Everyone had information about the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and everyone here came from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    The value of mermaid tears was indeed higher than the Purple Scaled Grass.


    While the Purple Scaled Grass mainly strengthened one¡¯s body and bloodline, mermaid tears focused on the soul.


    Apparently, mermaid tears took a long time to form, and they had the effect of cleansing the soul and helping one comprehend the Void God Realm.


    Just that one point alone was extremely tempting to those below the Void God Realm.


    Apart from that though, mermaid tears could also heal soul injuries and get rid of heart demons. It was also a Water elemental treasure that could be used to craft protective soul items.


    ¡°Actually,¡± Chen Yilin gave Zhao Feng a deep glance, ¡°if the time is ripe, it would be best to enter the palace in the depths of the lake.¡±


    Palace in the depths of the lake.


    The eyes of the Mystic True Sacred Clan disciples lit up.


    According to the information, the palace was a place that the mermaids had guarded for generations.


    ¡°Apparently, the palace in the depths of the lake is the winery of the Demigod, and it has the legendary Immortal Springs Wine and the legendary Illusion God Wine. In the past, the mermaids were responsible for making alcohol for the Demigod.¡±


    Chen Yilin paused.


    He believed that Zhao Feng already knew all of these rumors as well.


    Several thousand years ago, a genius from the Sacred Land entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden and fell in love with the Mermaid Princess. Then, with the help of the Mermaid Princess, the genius stole some Immortal Springs Wine and some Illusion God Wine.


    A couple years after leaving the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the disciple broke through to the Void God Realm, and this genius was now an Emperor.


    All of that was because of the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine.


    The Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine were both legendary alcohols even throughout the rest of the Fan Universe.


    ¡°The Immortal Springs Wine increase one¡¯s state of existence and can increase one¡¯s lifespan by a thousand years. The Illusion God Wine can make one enter a profound state and let those at the Origin Core Realm manage to comprehend the intent of Kings before they actually reach the Void God Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    The information Chen Yilin had was about the same as his.


    As long as one found the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine, a normal Sovereign would have a high chance of reaching the Void God Realm.


    The Immortal Springs Wine could increase lifespan by a thousand years. This was the power of life and time; with so much extra time, coupled with the strengthening in one¡¯s state of existence, there would be nothing to worry about.


    In comparison, Zhao Feng wanted the Illusion God Wine more, but it would be best if he could obtain both.


    Of course, the danger associated with entering the palace was also extremely great.


    Even Kings would find it hard to pass through the Mermaid Kingdom.


    The only method was to rely on intelligence and a bit of luck.


    ¡°What does Brother Zhao think?¡±


    Chen Yilin smiled.


    ¡°There¡¯s no problem with teaming up, but how will we split the resources?¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t dumb.


    With the help of a top-ten genius, as well as Jiang Fan who had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, this was indeed a powerful team.


    ¡°How about Brother Zhao first give us 50 pieces of Purple Scaled Grass to help strengthen Brother Jiang and myself, as well as increase our compatibility with the Purple Smoke Lake. The beasts within the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake are extremely strong. We will split the rewards, including the mermaid tears, 30-70.


    ¡°Brother Zhao will get 30% of the cut while the other 70% will be split amongst the remaining five of us, and if we¡¯re able to enter the palace in the depths of the lake, it¡¯ll be every man for themselves."


    Chen Yilin summarized.


    ¡°Brother Zhao is only one person and gets 30%, while we have five people and only get 70%.¡±


    Jiang Fan seemed to be dissatisfied.


    It seemed that Zhao Feng had the biggest advantage.


    ¡°Hahaha. You guys take 70%? And I need to give you all fifty pieces of Purple Scaled Grass on top of that?¡±


    Hearing that suggestion, Zhao Feng laughed.


    Putting aside the 30-70 split, it was extremely difficult for normal geniuses to obtain more than a dozen pieces of Purple Scaled Grass, and they needed to put their life on the line just to do so.


    Furthermore, Chen Yilin went on to suggest that the rewards in the palace were to be split according to their own abilities.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you¡¯re alone. Don¡¯t try to be too greedy.¡±


    Chen Yilin¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, there are many powerful beasts and mermaid experts that need to be dealt with.¡±


    The other Core disciples agreed.


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly and shook his head.


    ¡°Then what does Junior Martial Brother suggest?¡±


    Chen Yilin wasn¡¯t happy, but he needed the help of Zhao Feng¡¯s army. Gathering so much Purple Scaled Grass by themselves would not only be a waste of time, it would be extremely difficult and dangerous as well.


    ¡°You need to give me treasures of equivalent value for the Purple Scaled Grass, the treasures we find will be split according to our own abilities, and all the treasures that my army gives me shall be mine alone.¡±


    Zhao Feng said decisively.


    Chen Yilin and company were obviously unwilling. After all, Zhao Feng had a large number of beasts under his control, so he would definitely obtain more than 90% of the treasures.


    On the surface of the Purple Smoke Lake, Zhao Feng and Chen Yilin discussed together for a while, but they came to no result.


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡±


    Chen Yilin waved his hand and left with the other Core disciples.


    The nearby disciples from other forces were surprised. It was obvious that the cooperation had failed.


    Zhao Feng was emotionless. He controlled his army and slowly pushed toward the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake.


    The number of Purple Scaled Grass stalks in his possession was still increasing.


    A couple hours later, the amount of Purple Scaled Grass he had obtained in total had reached a hundred pieces. Subtracting the forty pieces that he had already eaten, there were still sixty pieces left, but the Purple Scaled Grass no longer had much effect on Zhao Feng, and it couldn¡¯t strengthen his defensive Water bloodline any further.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng placed more importance on trying to attack the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake.


    The deeper he went, the stronger the beasts in the lake.


    Zhao Feng was losing some of the weaker beasts in his army, but some of the stronger ones went into action. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s progress was somewhat slow since the resistance was quite strong.


    The deeper he went in the Purple Smoke Lake, the more beasts there were. The strength of the beasts that Zhao Feng faced was stronger than his own army, and his Dark Heart Seal couldn¡¯t be used indefinitely.


    Half a day later, a powerful aura surged from in front.


    Boom!


    A water monster appeared. It was the size of a small mountain and had countless tentacles, and it opened its mouth and crushed toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Water monster!¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised.


    The water monster was extremely big, and its battle-power was close to a half-step King.


    Under normal situations, his army would be crushed by this enormous water monster.


    ¡°Eye of Ice Soul!¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t hide his strength anymore. He opened his eye-bloodline, and a chilling coldness enveloped the water monster¡¯s soul, making it slow down.


    ¡°Dark Heart Seal!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s blue hair blew around as a powerful source of eye-bloodline Soul power was released from his left eye and passed into the water monster¡¯s soul.


    Amongst the waves, the enormous water monster froze, then it started to struggle.


    ¡°The strength of this water monster is similar to the limitless ocean whale from back then. If I fight it head-on, my losses will be big.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t retreat, so he had to try to control it.


    However, the state of existence of the water monster was extremely strong, so Zhao Feng¡¯s Dark Heart Seal met strong resistance.


    A couple breaths later, Zhao Feng¡¯s Dark Heart Seal ended in failure, but he didn¡¯t give up. He used a second eye-bloodline technique.


    ¡°Eye of Illusion!¡±


    The consciousness of the water monster was transported. A couple breaths later, the water monster¡¯s resistance became weaker.


    Within the Eye of Illusion, Zhao Feng had tortured it for several days and nights.


    ¡°Dark Heart Seal!¡±


    Zhao Feng then used his eye-bloodline Soul technique once more.


    This time, the water monster didn¡¯t fight back much. It was easily enslaved by Zhao Feng.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. This tentacled water monster was now the strongest beast he controlled.


    Under normal situations, it would be hard for several Sovereign Lords to even defeat this water monster, let alone control it.


    With this water monster in his army, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed increased slightly. Normal beasts would retreat when they saw the water monster.


    Of course, Zhao Feng usually made the tentacled water monster hide in the bottom of the lake so it could act as a trump card.


    After pushing forward for another couple dozen miles, Zhao Feng managed to enslave two large water snakes that had ancient bloodlines.


    The battle-power of the two water snakes was at least comparable to the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm ¨C more or less comparable to Brother Jiu from before.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s army had become much stronger.


    ¡°One tentacled water monster, two water snakes, dozens of ancient crocodiles¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng estimated.


    The number of beasts he had in his army now exceeded one thousand.


    Six- or seven-hundred of them were Yao fish whose battle-power was comparable to the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    Apart from the ancient crocodiles, there were also a few other creatures with unique abilities and strong battle-power.


    ¡°I can try to go toward the Mermaid Kingdom now.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s second part of the plan was complete.


    Apart from the Mermaid Kingdom, his army wasn¡¯t scared of anything else.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sound of stepping on water sounded from ten miles behind the army.


    More than a dozen Sacred Land geniuses appeared, most of whom had evil and wicked auras. The one-armed Brother Jiu was amongst them.


    ¡°Brother Tu, that brat¡¯s army is ahead.¡±


    Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said with hatred.


    The leader was a bald male with black-colored scales. He looked like a demon who had killed many people.

 644 Battling One of the Top Ten Geniuses

    ¡°Brother Tu, that brat¡¯s army is ahead.¡±


    There were more than a dozen people in this group, and the geniuses from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan were the leaders.


    The one-armed Brother Jiu was amongst them.


    The gaze of the people nearby landed on the large giant with black scales.


    ¡°Tu Jiuseng, one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land.¡±


    More than a dozen miles away, the expressions of Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and the other disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan changed.


    Tu Jiuseng came from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, and his cultivation had reached the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm.


    He was one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land. In addition, his father was the Void God Realm King Tu Wanli.


    ¡°Hmm? Jiu Motai found reinforcements so quickly?¡±


    A Core disciple of the Mystic True Sacred Clan snickered coldly.


    Tu Jiuseng and his group were chasing Zhao Feng from behind. It was obvious they didn¡¯t have good intentions.


    ¡°If my guess is right, Tu Jiuseng will definitely try to kill Zhao Feng.¡±


    Chen Yilin¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    Several months ago, Tu Jiuseng¡¯s father, Tu Wanli, lost face in front of Emperor Duanmu¡¯s Void God Projection, all because of Zhao Feng. Now, Zhao Feng had injured a disciple from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, and he had many treasures in his possession.


    ¡°Brother Tu, that Zhao Feng probably has more than a hundred stalks of Purple Scaled Grass and a bunch of other precious treasures.¡±


    Brother Jiu licked his lips.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go over and capture him. I¡¯ll take control of his army as well.¡±


    A cruel smile appeared on Tu Jiuseng¡¯s face.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng seemed to sense something and turned around.


    He had unique beasts in his army that were responsible for scouting.


    In the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Spiritual Sense was heavily restricted, and normal Great Origin Core Realms could only detect things up to a hundred yards. The Purple Smoke Lake suppressed one¡¯s senses even more.


    Tu Jiuseng and company were detected by Zhao Feng as soon as they got within ten miles of him.


    ¡°Tu Jiuseng¡­ one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land. He¡¯s extremely dominating and deadly¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    Dong Wenjian had introduced the top ten geniuses as well as the quasi top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land to him before the Demigod Forgotten Garden opened.


    ¡°Get ready to fight!¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly. His thoughts split into twenty or thirty and gave orders to the entire army.


    On the surface of the water, under the water, and in the depths of the water, Zhao Feng¡¯s army was spread around, awaiting Tu Jiuseng and company¡¯s arrival. Amongst them, a third of his troops appeared on the surface, while the stronger ones hid below.


    ¡°Brat named Zhao, give me a hundred pieces of Purple Scaled Grass.¡±


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s dominating voice sounded as an ancient demonic aura swept through the area.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Yao fishes started to tremble.


    ¡°What a terrifying Demonic Dao bloodline. This Tu Jiuseng¡¯s mental energy is not weaker than someone at the half-step Void God Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt pressured.


    This was the first opponent who could give him such an obvious pressure.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Tu Jiuseng charged from in front of the more than a dozen geniuses. Three of them had reached the Sovereign Lord rank.


    ¡°Divine Chaotic Technique!¡±


    A Sovereign Lord genius who specialized in the Dao of the Soul screeched, sending a piercing howl into the soul-dimension.


    Gods and demons seemed to howl within the soul-dimension, and Zhao Feng¡¯s troops in the water panicked. The minds of some Yao fishes even shattered.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically. There was someone in Tu Jiuseng¡¯s group who specialized in the soul.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng lost 70% of his control over his army.


    Apart from that, Brother Jiu and another genius controlled their ghost-corpse skeletons and some flying beasts that numbered one or two hundred and made them charge toward Zhao Feng¡¯s army.


    ¡°Hehe, that Tu Jiuseng¡¯s not only deadly, he¡¯s also extremely cunning.¡±


    Chen Yilin and company followed quietly from behind.


    ¡°We just need to wait until Zhao Feng¡¯s forced into a desperate situation and begs us to help. At that time, we¡¯ll have the initiative in the negotiation.¡±


    Jiang Fan¡¯s face was cold. All they needed to do right now was wait for Zhao Feng¡¯s defeat.


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s group unleashed lightning-quick attacks that made Zhao Feng¡¯s army break out into chaos while Tu Jiuseng himself charged from the front toward Zhao Feng.


    _Capture the leader first._


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s tactic was the same as Brother Jiu¡¯s earlier, but his strength was much greater. The other members of the group were also extremely strong as they stalled Zhao Feng¡¯s army.


    ¡°You better kneel to me right now!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng roared as a thick demonic aura spread throughout a hundred yards.


    Boom!


    The faint figure of a flaming demonic dragon could be seen with the thrusting of his palm. The mere remnants of its power killed some nearby beasts. Even two ancient crocodiles were slain despite their extremely strong defenses.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng jumped into the air and thrusted out a palm. Lightning crackled and wind howled as a dragon of purple Wind Lightning appeared in the air and radiated an aura of Destruction.


    Bam!


    The two attacks clashed in the air. Demonic flames spewed everywhere while wind and lightning exploded.


    The chaotic shockwave turned all the living beings nearby into powder.


    ¡°Luckily, I chose to fight in the air.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed as he retreated. Dark purple scales appeared on his skin, and he was unharmed.


    On the other hand, Tu Jiuseng stood stone-still.


    Although Tu Jiuseng had the slight advantage, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t injured either.


    ¡°Brat, your strength isn¡¯t too bad. You can actually block 60% of my full strength.¡±


    Tu Jiuseng smiled. As soon as he finished his sentence, his demonic figure crushed over.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. Tu Jiuseng¡¯s battle-power was enough to handle one or two normal Death Guards.


    ¡°Come!¡±


    Seeing Tu Jiuseng approach, Zhao Feng charged forward instead of retreating.


    Weng~


    The Purple Destruction True Yuan in Zhao Feng¡¯s Crystal Core was circulated to the limit, and his body released an ancient aura. It was as if he had become a desolate beast as he faced Tu Jiuseng.


    Boom!


    Explosions sounded in the air and created enormous shockwaves.


    The shockwaves from Zhao Feng¡¯s and Tu Jiuseng¡¯s attacks made Brother Jiu and company unable to approach


    ¡°So, this is that brat¡¯s true strength?¡±


    Brother Jiu was shocked. Even he didn¡¯t have the strength to clash head-on with Tu Jiuseng.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Zhao Feng and Tu Jiuseng fought with their bodies amidst roaring waves as they exchanged more than a dozen palms.


    With a loud explosion, the two figures separated.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure was pushed back dozens of yards, and part of his dark purple scales were broken, but a dark blue ripple of water quickly healed him.


    On the other side:


    Teng! Teng! Teng!


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s figure was forced back, and he suppressed the blood in his body. There were a couple scorch marks on his body.


    ¡°The strength of this Zhao Feng¡¯s body is terrifying, and it¡¯s extremely hard to break through his defense.¡±


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s expression finally changed.


    His body and bloodline specialized in close combat, but he was somehow at a disadvantage.


    In terms of offense, he was stronger than Zhao Feng, but the latter¡¯s defense was stronger than his.


    On top of that, his recovery speed wasn¡¯t as fast as Zhao Feng¡¯s. The injuries created by Zhao Feng¡¯s Purple Destruction Wind Lightning were extremely difficult to heal, whereas Zhao Feng¡¯s Water bloodline¡¯s recovery speed was extremely quick.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    Screams came from the group.


    Boom! Boom!


    Powerful beasts one after another emerged from the bottom of the lake. Amongst them, two large water snakes opened their mouths and gulped down one genius each.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s true subordinates had been hiding in the depths of the lake.


    ¡°Fighting Tu Jiuseng and controlling his army at the same time¡­.¡±


    Brother Jiu and the other Soul Dao genius were both stunned.


    However, what happened next made the others shout out in shock.


    Booom!


    With a large crashing wave, a gigantic tentacled monster appeared from a whirlpool.


    ¡°What!?¡±


    Tentacles slapped toward Tu Jiuseng, who had only just managed to stabilize himself.


    Pa! Pa! Pa!


    Tu Jiuseng immediately spat out a mouthful of blood as his body wavered amidst the water monster¡¯s attacks.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly, but he didn¡¯t enter the battle. Instead, he summoned the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and controlled the army to reap the lives of the rest of the geniuses.


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s group had transformed from predator to prey in an instant as they were surrounded by the army.


    Being one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land, Tu Jiuseng¡¯s battle-power was extremely strong, so he still managed to fight out a path in his current state as he beat the tentacled water monster until it started to bleed and scream in pain.


    ¡°As expected of a top-ten genius of the Sacred Land.¡±


    Seeing that, Zhao Feng condensed his eye-bloodline power into the form of a sharp spike.


    ¡°Mental Energy Spike!¡±


    A cold, ice-blue spike pierced into Tu Jiuseng¡¯s soul.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng screamed out in pain as cold sweat appeared on his forehead. His face was twisted in agony, and his eyes went red.


    Mental Energy Spike was a pure Soul attack that Zhao Feng had comprehended not long ago.


    When the soul-strength of two people were similar, the one who had more mastery over the soul had the advantage when using the Mental Energy Spike. If one¡¯s soul-strength was stronger than the other¡¯s, the damage caused would be extremely devastating.


    Tu Jiuseng didn¡¯t expect this, and his soul was instantly injured by the Mental Energy Spike.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng suppressed the pain in his soul as he retreated with seven or eight remaining geniuses.


    Almost half of the group had died.


    ¡°That Tu Jiuseng¡¯s battle-power is too great. Even the tentacled water monster can¡¯t take him down.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly gathered his army.


    He lost two or three hundred beasts in this fight, but most of them were just Yao fishes, who were extremely weak.


    Almost half of them had died because of Tu Jiuseng. From this, one could see how strong one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land was. Furthermore, Tu Jiuseng¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t even ranked highly amongst the top ten.


    Elsewhere around the Purple Smoke Lake, only a small number of geniuses were able to witness the fight because the area where they fought was close to the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake.


    ¡°Even Tu Jiuseng lost to him!?¡±


    A few disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan exclaimed in disbelief.


    They didn¡¯t expect Zhao Feng to be such a huge dark horse.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s soul-strength and mastery of the Soul Dao has already exceeded most of the top ten geniuses. Tu Jiuseng and I could most likely win against him in a one-on-one situation, but in this environment, most likely not.¡±


    Chen Yilin took a deep breath as his expression was replaced with wariness and solemnness.


    The strength that Zhao Feng displayed was completely comparable to the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Clan, and this environment was perfect for him.

 645 Mermaid Tears

    Zhao Feng reorganized his troops since he lost so many in the fight just now.


    The total number of his forces had fallen under a thousand, but Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t very concerned about that, so he wasn¡¯t in a rush to replenish them.


    The deeper he went in the Purple Smoke Lake, the more powerful beasts he would face.


    ¡°The next step is to head toward the Mermaid Kingdom. No matter how many troops I have, it won¡¯t be enough to fight against the Mermaid Kingdom, so I can only choose the path of elites.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was calm.


    Instead of increasing the number of his troops, he replenished his army with stronger beasts.


    Zhao Feng wanted to contain his troops within three to five hundred or even less. The more troops he had, the more likely it was he would raise the attention of the Mermaid Kingdom¡¯s upper echelon.


    Just as Zhao Feng was slowly progressing:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sound of urgent footsteps came from behind.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao!¡±


    The voice of Chen Yilin came from several miles away.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. He halted the army.


    Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and a few others arrived in front of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Senior Martial Brother Chen, Senior Martial Brothers and Sisters, is there something you need?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    He had already noticed them a long time ago.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, we should work together toward the Mermaid Kingdom. We¡¯ll split everything before the palace 70-30; you get 70% and we get 30%.¡±


    Chen Yilin spoke. This time, his tone was honest.


    ¡°Okay, but I have a requirement.¡±


    Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head.


    With Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company¡¯s help, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed would be much faster.


    He didn¡¯t dare to underestimate the strength of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land.


    Jiang Fan had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, so he was also not to be looked down on.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you can say what your requirement is.¡±


    Chen Yilin¡¯s face was calm, and none of other disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan showed any signs of dissatisfaction. After all, just a moment ago, Zhao Feng had defeated more than a dozen people, including Tu Jiuseng. His strength shook the hearts of others.


    That battle had caused Zhao Feng¡¯s name to spread.


    On top of his own strength, Zhao Feng also had his army of water beasts.


    ¡°All of you need to listen to me before we reach the palace.¡±


    Zhao Feng said, and the other six Core disciples looked at each other when they heard that.


    Zhao Feng wanted the power to order the other Core disciples around.


    If this was in the past, this would definitely not happen because the Core disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan had a lot of strength and pride.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Chen Yilin¡¯s eyes twinkled as he gave Zhao Feng a deep glance.


    Zhao Feng had gone straight for the Purple Smoke Lake the moment he entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden and had, step by step, come to rule the Purple Smoke Lake.


    And now, he was closing in on the Mermaid Kingdom.


    From that, one could see he had a plan from the start, and maybe even some sort of method to obtain resources from the Mermaid Kingdom.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng controlled the army and headed toward the depths of the Purple Smoke Lake with Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company.


    With their help, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed increased dramatically.


    On the way, there were some powerful beasts, but they were easily finished off by Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even need to do anything.


    Chen Yilin¡¯s strength was probably on par with Tu Jiuseng¡¯s. He could kill some Sovereign Lord beasts in just one move.


    Jiang Fan was even more unique. When he released the bloodline aura of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, some beasts didn¡¯t even dare to resist.


    Just the aura of the legendary Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline could make beasts run away.


    Therefore, the journey was extremely smooth, and Zhao Feng used this chance to have the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array devour many Sovereign and Sovereign Lord beasts.


    Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company listened to Zhao Feng¡¯s command, and the latter didn¡¯t use them for free. He gave out ten pieces of Purple Scaled Grass and made their auras more compatible with the Purple Smoke Lake.


    Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan both wanted more Purple Scaled Grass, but Zhao Feng required them to give items of equivalent value.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s army didn¡¯t stop gathering the nearby resources and treasures either, and everything was split 70-30. Zhao Feng alone took up 70% of the treasures while the other six split the remaining 30%.


    Half a day later, some of the scouts in Zhao Feng¡¯s army finally found traces of mermaids.


    ¡°They¡¯ve appeared.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. He could share vision with anything controlled by his Dark Heart Seal.


    Mermaids were the same as the legends. Their upper body and head were the same as a human, but their lower half was a fish tail.


    The female mermaids were extremely pretty.


    ¡°Scatter.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered his army to scatter throughout an area of ten miles so that it wouldn¡¯t raise much attention.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, we¡¯re at the Mermaid Kingdom now. Let¡¯s try to gather some mermaid tears, then scout out the situation before heading toward the palace.¡±


    Chen Yilin suggested. They needed to listen to Zhao Feng before they reached the palace.


    ¡°My thoughts are the exact same as Brother Chen¡¯s.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    After all, the palace had been guarded by the mermaids for generations, so they would definitely raise the attention of the mermaid upper echelon if they tried anything. However, they could gather mermaid tears stealthily.


    ¡°Go.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind split into a couple dozen thoughts and controlled many small beasts that entered the Mermaid Kingdom.


    The beasts he sent specialized in stealth, camouflage, and disguise.


    Boom! Boom!


    The sound of battle came from ahead.


    ¡°Mermaids!¡±


    Chen Yilin¡¯s senses were extremely strong, so he noticed that some mermaids were fighting with Zhao Feng¡¯s subordinates.


    This was the first time many of the Core disciples had ever seen mermaids.


    Zhao Feng raised his hand and stopped them.


    ¡°Dark Heart Seal!¡±


    Zhao Feng used a soul technique from miles away, and the battle ahead instantly stopped.


    A few mermaids soon arrived in front of them and bowed at Zhao Feng¡¯s feet.


    The cultivation of these mermaids had reached the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    Chen Yilin and company inspected them and started to talk.


    ¡°Mermaids are extremely intelligent and have a certain talent in souls. The Dark Heart Seal is much harder to use on them.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    He had gathered a lot of information about mermaids.


    Zhao Feng then interacted with these mermaids through the Dark Heart Seal.


    Normal mermaids didn¡¯t know how to speak to humans, but apparently, some upper echelon mermaids could.


    Some time later:


    ¡°Head northwest.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    The eyes of Chen Yilin and company lit up. Zhao Feng must have found where the mermaid tears were located.


    The group headed toward the depths of the Mermaid Kingdom. In order to not attract attention, Zhao Feng scattered the army ¨C mainly the bigger ones ¨C across the edges of the Mermaid Kingdom and only took some of the smaller beasts that specialized in detection and stealth with him.


    They met some mermaids on the way, but they were either slain by Chen Yilin and company or enslaved by Zhao Feng.


    At this point, Zhao Feng had enslaved dozens of mermaids. Four of them were at the Origin Core Realm while the rest were at the True Spirit Realm.


    They finally found some mermaid tears in front of some coral more than a dozen miles away.


    The dark depths of the lake glittered with pure mermaid tears of different sizes.


    In the darkness, the mermaid tears stood out.


    Zhao Feng could sense a pure source of Soul aura and love from extremely far away.


    ¡°So, those are mermaid tears? Apparently, they come from the tears of mermaids who are full of love, and the tears contain their purest love intent. That power can cleanse the soul and help one comprehend the intent of the Void God Realm.¡±


    ¡°A single drop of mermaid tears needs five hundred years to form.¡±


    The group sighed and watched silently.


    Ancient records stated that the love of a mermaid never faded.


    The genius of the Sacred Land several thousand years ago had first been captured by mermaids before falling in love with the Mermaid Princess and obtaining a chance to enter the palace.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±


    Zhao Feng made some mermaids gather the mermaid tears.


    Although these mermaids had been enslaved by Zhao Feng, they started to instinctively cry with sadness.


    Chen Yilin and company watched silently without moving.


    Firstly, the treasures were to be given mainly to Zhao Feng anyway, and secondly, there was a mysterious mental energy in the mermaid tears that radiated a pure and innocent love. Under this aura, their souls seemed to be cleaned, and the desire to kill within their souls became weaker.


    ¡°Mermaids are a species that have a certain amount of talent in the Dao of the Soul, and the upper echelon of the mermaids are mainly female. Therefore, the mental energy in their tears have an incredible effect.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    The amount of power contained within a single mermaid tear wasn¡¯t very much. It wasn¡¯t even more than a high-grade Primal Crystal Stone, but it wasn¡¯t precious because of the amount of power ¨C it was precious because of its ability to cleanse the soul, and coincidentally, this type of power was something that most cultivators didn¡¯t have.


    The handful of mermaid tears was soon gathered, and Zhao Feng immediately went to the next place.


    The mermaids within ten miles were either killed or enslaved by Zhao Feng, and suddenly, part of the forbidden area that was the Mermaid Kingdom seemed to become Zhao Feng¡¯s territory.


    In such a situation, Zhao Feng easily gathered dozens of mermaid tears.


    This number had already exceeded the total amount gathered in the past four or five openings of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    In the past, only a very small number of people had been able to gather mermaid tears.


    Most of the geniuses set their targets on the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, the Hundred Flower Garden, the Demigod Grave, and other places.


    In terms of the number of treasures, the Purple Smoke Lake didn¡¯t have as much as the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. In terms of precious resources, the Hundred Flower Garden was bigger.


    Furthermore, the Mermaid Kingdom was extremely strong.


    ¡°We¡¯ve gathered about enough mermaid tears.¡±


    Zhao Feng stopped finding more.


    He had enslaved many mermaids, and Chen Yilin and company had killed a few as well. The upper echelon of the Mermaid Kingdom would soon catch on.


    Zhao Feng gave Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan two drops of mermaid tears each, the others received one each, and he kept about twenty himself.


    The others had no suggestions about that, and some of them even tried using the mermaid tears immediately.

 646 Honey Trap

    ¡°I wonder¡­ how¡¯s the effect of a mermaid tear?¡±


    Zhao Feng found that two of the Core disciples had entered a profound state, radiating an aura of mental energy.


    The mermaid tears in their hands glowed with a light that covered their bodies.


    A while later, the two Core disciples opened their eyes ¨C they were pure and clear. Their soul had been cleansed, and their auras had changed slightly.


    Although their cultivation didn¡¯t change, Zhao Feng knew that their souls had strengthened.


    One had to know that comprehending the intent of the Void God Realm relied on the soul. This was why mermaid tears helped one understand the Void God Realm.


    Of course, that effect didn¡¯t mean the chances of being able to break through would definitely increase. Only the Illusion God Wine had such an effect. However, for those under the half-step Void God Realm, mermaid tears were quite useful.


    ¡°As one¡¯s soul strengthens, one¡¯s total power will also increase in the future.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed as he suddenly remembered someone ¨C Xin Wuheng.


    Amongst all the geniuses he had ever seen, Xin Wuheng had the lowest talent, and yet Xin Wuheng¡¯s intent and soul had reached an unfathomable level.


    Even now, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t see through Xin Wuheng¡¯s intent.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try it.¡±


    Zhao Feng took out a few mermaid tears and slowly closed his eyes.


    The music of the ancient mermaids seemed to sound in his ears.


    There was a mixture of sweetness, bitterness, sourness, spice, and pain. All of it was extremely pure as it appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart seemed to undergo the passage of time.


    Pain, sadness, love, and beauty washed Zhao Feng¡¯s soul.


    Mermaids were a mysterious ancient species that rarely cried. Only those with unparalleled love did so.


    Each and every mermaid tear represented a mermaid¡¯s love.


    Under such pure mental energy, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul became clearer.


    A memory suddenly flashed through his mind.


    When he was young, an elegant young girl in purple with clear eyes appeared.


    It was a purple figure who always watched from behind.


    After seeing her again, the two hugged. They were as close as neighbors.


    Shua!


    The scene changed once more.


    Ridiculous scenes flashed through Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. Helplessness, sadness, disappointment.


    A quiet girl dressed in white suddenly appeared in his mind. She seemed to be a goddess from a painting.


    ¡°So¡­ I once had it too.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul became purer, and the lake in his left eye¡¯s dimension glittered. Each and every drop of water was extremely clear.


    In just a short while, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was cleansed.


    Although his soul didn¡¯t become stronger, it became clearer.


    The appearance of his soul even appeared in his mind.


    ¡°This is me?¡±


    Zhao Feng had a better understanding of himself. Then, he returned to reality.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng had used almost ten drops of mermaid tears.


    By the end, his heart was as calm as water.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, the situation¡¯s not good; the Mermaid Kingdom seems to have found our tracks.¡±


    Chen Yilin¡¯s voice sounded.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes. A faint multicolored light in his eyes quickly faded, and his eyes became as clear as crystal.


    ¡°Being found was just a matter of time.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. He figured out the situation by using his subordinates that were scattered around nearby.


    They had killed and enslaved many mermaids. The Mermaid Kingdom would¡¯ve found out sooner or later regardless.


    ¡°We need to move before the upper echelon of the Mermaid Kingdom catches on.¡±


    Chen Yilin¡¯s voice was urgent, but the expression of the blue-haired youth in front of him didn¡¯t change. His eyes were still clear.


    ¡°They¡¯ve only lost track of a couple mermaids; the upper echelon isn¡¯t going to do anything right away. According to what I know, the Mermaid King has been in seclusion for the past ten years.¡±


    Zhao Feng said slowly.


    Right now, there were two options in front of them:


    One; retreat. They had already gained a lot. Especially Zhao Feng ¨C he had gathered a massive amount of treasures and resources.


    Two; try to enter the palace.


    The second choice was extremely dangerous. They might face the pursuit of the entire Mermaid Kingdom, or even a King.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, do you have any methods at all?¡±


    Jiang Fan couldn¡¯t help but ask.


    Chen Yilin¡¯s eyes twinkled. Their progress so far had been extremely smooth. Everything seemed to be in Zhao Feng¡¯s control.


    ¡°It¡¯s really easy. Just think about what happened with the person who successfully entered the palace back then.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled.


    _Back then?_


    Of course, they all knew. Several thousand years ago, that Sacred Land genius fell in love with the Mermaid Princess and entered the palace with her help.


    ¡°According to what I know, the current princess is extremely beautiful, and most importantly, she hasn¡¯t found a lover yet.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re not suggesting we repeat what happened back then, right?¡±


    Chen Yilin rolled his eyes.


    ¡°Mermaids are intelligent. How could the same trick possibly work again?¡±


    ¡°Last time, it only happened out of luck. It would be hard to replicate.¡±


    ¡°Furthermore, who amongst us is the Mermaid Princess supposed to fall for? How much of a risk will they have to undergo?¡±


    Everyone shook their heads.


    Mermaids weren¡¯t retarded. They wouldn¡¯t be fooled the same way twice.


    ¡°Hehe, who said that it won¡¯t work again? We have someone amongst us who can do it.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly and spoke confidently.


    ¡°Who? Who has the ability to make the Mermaid Princess instantly fall in love?¡±


    Everyone looked at each other. None of them were extremely handsome.


    ¡°That person is you.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled as his gaze landed on Jiang Fan.


    ¡°Ahhh!¡±


    Jiang Fan tripped and almost started to curse.


    This was just horrendous.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, this isn¡¯t a game. What do you have in mind?¡±


    Chen Yilin said.


    In terms of looks, Jiang Fan was extremely normal. He was even worse than Zhao Feng.


    ¡°It¡¯s like this,¡± Zhao Feng paused for a moment before explaining, ¡°mermaids like those who are strong, and they very much admire those with noble bloodlines. Brother Jiang has a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, and according to the enslaved mermaids, the current princess is extremely arrogant; she doesn¡¯t even put the bloodline geniuses of the same species in her eyes¡­.


    ¡°En¡­ simply put, this princess likes people who are strong and have noble bloodlines.¡±


    Zhao Feng summarized.


    Hearing that, the other Core disciples revealed understanding expressions.


    ¡°No¡­ no, no, no!¡±


    Jiang Fan resisted. This method didn¡¯t sound very promising.


    Chen Yilin¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. This method was a bit tricky.


    Firstly, the risk was too big.


    Secondly, the princess falling in love still relied on coincidence and luck.


    ¡°Listen to my plan¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice suddenly lowered.


    Suddenly, Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan heard Zhao Feng¡¯s voice in their minds.


    ¡°You¡¯re really that confident?¡±


    Chen Yilin asked, and Jiang Fan¡¯s expression became a bit calmer.


    ¡°There¡¯s a 90% success rate. If you guys don¡¯t agree, then let¡¯s just go back.¡±


    Zhao Feng said decisively.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Jiang Fan decided to give it his all.


    If he didn¡¯t agree, they would lose the chance to enter the palace at the bottom of the lake.


    A while later, Jiang Fan was ¡°captured¡± by several mermaids.


    Four Origin Core Realm mermaids guarded Jiang Fan, and there were several other mermaids nearby, including a pretty female mermaid.


    ¡°How dare this outsider call the Mermaid Princess names!? Send him to the Mermaid Princess¡¯s palace.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered through one of the enslaved mermaids.


    The pretty female mermaid knew the Mermaid Princess and promised to send the spoils-of-war Jiang Fan into the Mermaid Kingdom.


    All of this was in Zhao Feng¡¯s calculations.


    Jiang Fan was sent to the Mermaid Princess¡¯s palace.


    On the way, a large number of mermaids watched curiously, but nothing happened.


    In their eyes, humans were rare spoils of war, and they had nothing against sending spoils of war to the Mermaid Princess¡¯s palace. After all, nothing unusual had been reported to the upper echelon yet.


    Through the enslaved mermaids, Zhao Feng could see and hear what was happening, but the other Mystic True Sacred Clan disciples couldn¡¯t see or hear anything.


    In the Mermaid Princess¡¯s palace:


    ¡°Human? Spoils of war?¡±


    A stunning beauty lay lazily on the bed, and her eyes flashed with interest when she heard that.


    Indeed, in their eyes, humans were rare. Even the Mermaid Princess was curious.


    ¡°Send him over to me.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess was full of curiosity.


    The human-and-mermaid love story from several thousand years ago had become a forbidden topic, but the more forbidden something was, the more curious she was.


    Jiang Fan was bound, and he was soon sent to the Mermaid Princess.


    ¡°You are a human?¡±


    The Mermaid Princess touched Jiang Fan¡¯s body from top to bottom, and when she touched a certain part of his lower body, Jiang Fan¡¯s body froze. His face went red as he cursed Zhao Feng in his heart.


    However, he was also slightly hopeful. It wouldn¡¯t be too bad to have a romantic relationship with this gorgeous mermaid. After all, ever since his bloodline had been discovered, he had been cultivating non-stop. Although he was already twenty-something years old, he was still a virgin who never had a relationship.


    Thinking up to there, he released a slight aura of his bloodline.


    ¡°Hmm? Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline?¡±


    The Mermaid Princess felt her bloodline tremble and was shocked. Her pair of eyes was filled with respect and twinkling stars.


    Jiang Fan couldn¡¯t help but feel smug. A bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races was indeed different.


    _Mermaid princess? Easy peasy._


    However, what the Mermaid Princess said next made him fall into the abyss:


    ¡°Haha, you must be a spy from the humans here to seduce me.


    ¡°Hmph, you want to use the same trick again? What kind of retard thought of this plan?¡±


    Jiang Fan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

 647 Mermaid King

    The Mermaid Princess saw straight through Jiang Fan¡¯s honey trap, and her eyes were full of smugness and playfulness.


    _¡°What kind of retard thought of this plan?¡±_


    Jiang Fan was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He cursed Zhao Feng thousands of times in his heart.


    Before they left, Zhao Feng had confidently said that Jiang Fan had a high chance of winning her love with his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.


    ¡°Hehe, Zhao Feng?¡±


    A cunning expression appeared on the Mermaid Princess¡¯s gorgeous face.


    ¡°How¡­ how do you know that!?¡±


    Jiang Fan exclaimed.


    How did this Mermaid Princess know Zhao Feng?


    ¡°Could it be¡­?¡±


    Jiang Fan¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    He thought of a possibility. Could it be that Zhao Feng and the Mermaid Princess had planned this together?


    If that was true, then everything made sense. How else could the Mermaid Princess see past his honey trap right away?


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡±


    Jiang Fan gritted his teeth as flames of anger burned through his heart.


    Weng~~


    A thick layer of black skin appeared on Jiang Fan¡¯s body. It seemed to be scale-like and shell-like, and it made him seem like a desolate beast.


    Crack!


    Jiang Fan spread his arms, and his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline destroyed the chains binding him.


    ¡°As expected of a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess, who had reached the Great Origin Core Realm, felt a heavy pressure on her bloodline and instinctively trembled.


    It was as if she was a tiny fish facing a desolate beast.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take you down first.¡±


    Jiang Fan raised his hand and leapt toward the Mermaid Princess.


    However, it was as if the Mermaid Princess knew what he was going to do. She flicked her tail before Jiang Fan could do anything.


    Whoosh!


    The Mermaid Princess easily dodged Jiang Fan¡¯s grab.


    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re running?¡±


    Jiang Fan leapt toward her once more.


    With his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, even though the princess had a middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm cultivation, she couldn¡¯t win.


    However, he had forgotten one thing ¨C the environment.


    This was the Mermaid Kingdom, which was underwater.


    In the water, his speed was heavily restricted. Besides, Jiang Fan¡¯s bloodline specialized in defense, not offense or speed.


    ¡°Hehehe, you can¡¯t hit me~~. Ayayayaya, help~~.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess was extremely childish.


    In the Purple Smoke Lake, she had the advantage in speed. Even if the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land entered the Purple Smoke Lake, they wouldn¡¯t be as fast or as agile as her.


    ¡°Dammit!¡±


    Jiang Fan was starting to feel despair now. He could sense the mermaid experts gathering.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Seeing that he was unable to take care of the Mermaid Princess, he tried to escape.


    Whoosh!


    The Mermaid Princess gently pushed out her hand, and a wave of dark blue sword-light smoothly shot toward Jiang Fan.


    Bam!


    A small bloody gash appeared on Jiang Fan¡¯s skin, but it quickly healed.


    _What strong defense!_


    The Mermaid Princess was slightly dazed. Her all-out attack couldn¡¯t even threaten Jiang Fan.


    _Zhao Feng, you bastard. I¡¯m going to cut you into ten thousand pieces._


    Jiang Fan cursed Zhao Feng as he ran.


    ¡°Zhao Feng? The retard who thought of using a honey trap?¡±


    The Mermaid Princess was slightly surprised, and she seemed to be extremely interested. This Zhao Feng had actually managed to order someone with a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline around. He shouldn¡¯t be simple.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Jiang Fan felt that something was wrong. How could the Mermaid Princess know what he was thinking?


    ¡°Heart-reading technique?¡±


    A murmur sounded.


    ¡°Hmph, retard. The mermaid imperials are all talented in the Dao of the Soul. Every Mermaid Princess has the ability to read what others are thinking.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess said proudly.


    _Read what others are thinking?_


    Jiang Fan¡¯s heart shook. How come there was no information about this?


    _If that¡¯s the case, how did that genius from the Sacred Land win the previous Mermaid Princess¡¯s heart?_


    ¡°The reason why that genius succeeded last time was because he had a true heart. How else do you think he won the heart of the previous Mermaid Princess?¡±


    The mockery on the Mermaid Princess¡¯s face became bigger.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡±


    A murmur sounded in the soul-dimension, and the flow of water seemed to do nothing.


    ¡°Who- who¡¯s there!?¡±


    The body of the Mermaid Princess froze as she sensed that there was a third person.


    At the same moment, Jiang Fan looked up and exclaimed in shock, ¡°That¡¯s¡­!¡±


    The Mermaid Princess instinctively raised her head.


    In the water above, an ice-blue eye coldly gazed down. It seemed to be one with Heaven, Earth, and the lake itself.


    ¡°Zhao¡­ Zhao Feng!¡±


    Jiang Fan felt as if he was being choked.


    This eye was Zhao Feng¡¯s specialty.


    ¡°Dark Heart Seal!¡±


    Mockery appeared in the eye as a forbidden cold intent travelled toward the Mermaid Princess.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The Mermaid Princess wiggled her tail as she tried to struggle.


    Being a Mermaid Princess, she was extremely talented in the Dao of the Soul. She had an ability like the heart reading technique the moment she was born.


    Even though Zhao Feng¡¯s Dark Heart Seal was used in his current state and became much stronger because of it, there was still a lot of resistance.


    If she struggled too much, the Mermaid Princess¡¯s soul could crumble.


    _This Zhao Feng has a terrifying Soul eye-bloodline. He¡¯s actually able to attack me from afar._


    The Mermaid Princess felt the huge difference between herself and this person attacking her. In terms of Soul talent, the mysterious person attacking her was definitely more talented.


    ¡°Princess!¡±


    ¡°Help the princess!¡±


    Cries came from nearby as many Sovereign Lord rank experts arrived.


    ¡°What are you staying still for?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded in the soul-dimension.


    Jiang Fan¡¯s figure flashed as he grabbed the Mermaid Princess by the throat.


    ¡°Release the princess!¡±


    The mermaid experts froze. They looked at Jiang Fan with angry expressions.


    The Mermaid Princess, whose throat was grasped by Jiang Fan, started to struggle less.


    A breath or two later, the Mermaid Princess stopped struggling altogether and revealed utter obedience from her eyes.


    Jiang Fan was extremely familiar with these changes.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven above disappeared.


    ¡°Don¡¯t go!¡±


    Jiang Fan felt uneasy, but the Mermaid Princess gave a cold order the next instant, ¡°Make everyone leave.¡±


    ¡°Princess!¡±


    The nearby mermaid experts were shocked and puzzled, but the princess was in the hands of the enemy, and the order came from the princess herself. They had to obey.


    Under the Mermaid Princess¡¯s orders, everyone opened a path for them.


    ¡°I¡¯ll commit suicide if anyone attacks.¡±


    A dagger appeared in the Mermaid Princess¡¯s hand with a numb expression on her face.


    The hearts of the mermaid experts went cold. No one dared to stop them.


    Jiang Fan was overjoyed as he left the Mermaid Princess¡¯s palace smoothly.


    ¡°Quick! Go tell the king!¡±


    The experts started to discuss. A half-step Void God Realm King could tell that the Mermaid Princess had been taken control of. At this moment, she was just puppet that someone else was controlling.


    At the same time, in a certain corner of the Mermaid Kingdom:


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how¡¯s the situation?¡±


    Chen Yilin couldn¡¯t hide the worry in his eyes.


    ¡°Did Brother Jiang¡¯s honey trap succeed?¡±


    Everyone could feel that the Mermaid Kingdom had broken out into chaos, and the auras of the mermaid experts made them feel uneasy.


    ¡°Hehe, who said I was going to use a honey trap? The Mermaid Princess has been successfully kidnapped.¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed lightly.


    _Kidnap the Mermaid Princess?_


    The Core disciples were stunned. They couldn¡¯t help but take in a cold breath.


    Zhao Feng was just too daring. He dared to hold the Mermaid Princess hostage?


    Gulu~~


    The sound of water flowing came from ahead.


    Jiang Fan and the Mermaid Princess swam over, and Chen Yilin let out a breath before giving Zhao Feng a deep glance.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s plan was the same as the genius of the Sacred Land from several thousand years ago ¨C they both chose to use the Mermaid Princess as the breakthrough point.


    Although the details were slightly different, the result was the same.


    Several thousand years ago, the Sacred Land genius had won the Mermaid Princess¡¯s heart and was thus able to enter the palace at the depths of the lake, whereas Zhao Feng used his Soul technique to enslave the princess.


    ¡°Let¡¯s head toward the palace.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered, and the group went straight into the depths of the Mermaid Kingdom.


    On the way, the Mermaid Princess revealed absolute obedience. The experts of the Mermaid Kingdom didn¡¯t dare to stop them; they could only watch.


    Half the time it took to make tea later, the group arrived at a palace at the bottom of the lake that was surrounded in dazzling green light.


    ¡°Open the door.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    The Mermaid Princess came to the front gate of the palace and started to sing an ancient song of mermaids.


    The song contained a mysterious Soul signal that connected with the palace.


    ¡°The Mermaid Princess has a unique status in the Mermaid Kingdom. The Mermaid Princess doesn¡¯t have to be the actual daughter of the king, but the person who has the most unique Soul talent among the imperials.¡±


    Zhao Feng learnt many secrets from the Mermaid Princess.


    To a certain degree, the Mermaid Princess was like a Sacred Daughter of certain tribes. They were extremely important.


    At the same time, the Mermaid Princess had a certain fate, which was related to her Soul talent and her inheritance.


    ¡°The fate of the Mermaid Princess is to connect with the Mermaid Divine Palace.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts became clearer.


    No wonder the genius from the Sacred Land back then could easily enter the Divine Palace with the help of the Mermaid Princess and obtain the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine.


    Weng~~


    The door to the Mermaid Divine Palace slowly opened and released an ancient aura.


    ¡°Enter.¡±


    Zhao Feng made the Mermaid Princess lead the way.


    As Zhao Feng and company were about to step into the Mermaid Divine Palace:


    ¡°Humans, give up.¡±


    The dominating voice of a King sounded in the soul-dimension. The souls and even the thoughts of the Mystic True Sacred Clan Core disciples froze.


    The owner of the voice was the Mermaid King.


    How could the Mermaid King do nothing while the Mermaid Princess was captured?


    Of course, the Mermaid King was still in his palace; this was only his Void God intent.


    ¡°Mermaid King, your Void God intent can¡¯t kill me in one thought, but one thought of mine can kill the Mermaid Princess.¡±


    Zhao Feng remained calm. He wasn¡¯t as uneasy as Jiang Fan and company.


    In his plan, he had obviously thought about the Mermaid King.

 648 Demigod Winery

    The Void God intent froze the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby, and some of the Mystic True Sacred Clan Core disciples felt their thoughts freeze. They couldn¡¯t even think about fighting back.


    Even Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan felt uneasy.


    It was hard to imagine how Zhao Feng, who was facing the Void God intent head-on, could be so calm.


    ¡°Human, you¡¯re courting death.¡±


    Shaking appeared in the soul-dimension as a Magnificent Power seemed to squeeze the space that Zhao Feng was in.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was slightly red, and his body and bones started to screech. His knees were almost bent as he was almost forced to bow to the King.


    However, Zhao Feng forcefully stopped himself.


    In terms of state of existence, he was extremely close to a true King, and his body had been strengthened by the Ancient Dream Realm aura, the heart blood essence, and the Purple Scaled Grass.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had withstood the pressure from the Ancient Dream Realm many times, and his body contained an ancient aura. Even Jiang Fan¡¯s bloodline aura wasn¡¯t able to suppress Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    In a palace far away:


    ¡°This brat¡¯s soul has condensed to a level even stronger than normal half-step Kings¡­.¡±


    The expression of the Mermaid King became solemn.


    A measly Small Origin Core Realm ant was actually able to withstand his King intent.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mastery in the Dao of the Soul was also extremely strong.


    He had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, which helped create a solid foundation for his breakthrough to the Void God Realm later on.


    ¡°Lord Father, please don¡¯t stop Master.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess cried and begged.


    She obeyed Zhao Feng from the bottom of her heart due to the Dark Heart Seal. Although she still had emotions, her master was greater than everything else.


    This was the most terrifying part about the Dark Heart Seal ¨C it could enslave someone even in their heart and mind.


    ¡°Fucking human¡­!¡±


    The Mermaid King clenched his fists and roared.


    Being a Void God Realm King, when had he ever taken orders from a human ant?


    Everyone below Kings were ants. This sentence had been recorded in ancient records.


    Normal Origin Core Realms couldn¡¯t even block the intent of a Void God Realm King.


    ¡°¡¯Everyone below Kings are ants¡­¡¯ is useless against me.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered as he ordered the Mermaid Princess to lead the way.


    The minds of Chen Yilin and company shook, and they followed behind like zombies.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng doesn¡¯t even have a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, and yet he¡¯s so strong. How is that possible?¡±


    Jiang Fan felt defeated. The image of the Eye of Heaven descending appeared in his mind. The aura from that eye made even his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline feel uneasy.


    ¡°Human, if anything happens to my daughter, I will not forgive you!¡±


    The Mermaid King roared.


    ¡°Mermaid King,¡± Zhao Feng spoke, ¡°as long as I achieve my goal, I will remove the soul restriction on her, but if you do anything, I can¡¯t guarantee it.¡±


    The Divine Sense of the Mermaid King scanned across the palace for a long time before stopping.


    ¡°That brat¡¯s eye-bloodline is not simple. Even someone with a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline listens to him.¡±


    The Mermaid King regained his calm.


    From beginning till end, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t panic. It was obvious that this youth was prepared.


    He didn¡¯t dare to stop them anymore. He watched with open eyes as Zhao Feng and company entered the Mermaid Divine Palace.


    The Mermaid Divine Palace was a forbidden area for mermaids.


    In the past, only Mermaid Princesses who had received the Divine Palace¡¯s inheritance could enter or else they would be killed by the intent of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Even Kings would be slain since this intent was the god of this realm, lording over everything.


    ¡°There seems to be signs of other humans near the kingdom.¡±


    A mermaid expert reported.


    __


    _Hmm?_


    The Mermaid King¡¯s face became grim as his Divine Sense instantly scanned across the entire Mermaid Kingdom.


    As expected, he saw a group of people with wicked auras.


    ¡°Stop.¡±


    Tu Jiuseng at the very front suddenly waved his hand.


    Even after being defeated, Tu Jiuseng didn¡¯t give up on the Purple Smoke Lake, especially after analyzing that Zhao Feng was probably thinking about obtaining treasures from the Mermaid Kingdom.


    Therefore, Tu Jiuseng gathered many geniuses, including a bunch of beast tamers.


    One of them was a Sovereign Lord rank genius who specialized in the Dao of the Soul, and after controlling a bunch of fish, he found traces of Zhao Feng and company, as well as what was happening within the Mermaid Kingdom.


    ¡°Brother Tu, what¡¯s happened?¡±


    ¡°That Zhao Feng¡¯s opening the path for us. Isn¡¯t this great?¡±


    Everyone was moved.


    After all, Zhao Feng was doing everything while all they did was gather treasures from behind. The risk was much lower.


    Of course, they didn¡¯t know that the Mermaid King had already exited seclusion. After all, the Mermaid King had only used his Void God intent to clash with Zhao Feng and company. He didn¡¯t physically appear.


    ¡°It¡¯s probably just me. Let¡¯s continue.¡±


    Tu Jiuseng nodded his head.


    A moment ago, his bloodline felt a pressure. It was as if someone was spying on him, but that sensation soon faded.


    ¡°These geniuses aren¡¯t simple.¡±


    The eyes of the Mermaid King twinkled.


    From their conversation, it wasn¡¯t hard to tell that they weren¡¯t on Zhao Feng¡¯s side. On the contrary, they were enemies.


    A planned soon formed. Why not let the two groups fight in the Divine Palace?


    He wasn¡¯t too worried about the Mermaid Princess¡¯s safety. Not only would Zhao Feng not harm the Mermaid Princess, he would need to protect her. The Mermaid King was certain of that.


    Furthermore, the Mermaid Princess was used to the Purple Smoke Lake, and her bloodline inheritance power gave her enough strength to fend for herself. Even though she was being controlled, it wasn¡¯t as if she was weak.


    ¡°Everyone, retreat more than twenty miles away from the Divine Palace.¡±


    The Mermaid King ordered.


    Although he had seen Tu Jiuseng and company, he didn¡¯t really care.


    On the way, Tu Jiuseng and company did their best to go around the heavily guarded areas as they headed toward the palace at the bottom of the lake.


    ¡°There¡¯s less resistance than I thought.¡±


    ¡°Looks like that Zhao Feng is stalling most of the mermaids.¡±


    Tu Jiuseng and company felt slightly weird.


    What was even more incredible was that the gate of the palace was wide open.


    _What happened to the Mermaid Kingdom?_


    Tu Jiuseng and company didn¡¯t understand, but since they were already at this step, they wouldn¡¯t retreat.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng didn¡¯t take his troops into the palace. That means that even if we meet, we can fight back.¡±


    A group of around ten people entered the palace.


    The Mermaid King snickered coldly as he watched Tu Jiuseng and company enter the palace. If he didn¡¯t allow it, how could Tu Jiuseng and company be able to arrive here so easily?


    ¡°Hmm? There¡¯s another person? His strength isn¡¯t bad.¡±


    The Mermaid King¡¯s Divine Sense extended to the edges of the Mermaid Kingdom and found a figure.


    The newcomer was the warm youth who had reached the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Looks like Zhao Feng¡¯s entered the Mermaid Kingdom.¡±


    The warm youth could feel which direction Zhao Feng was in by sensing the intent of Death.


    Suddenly, the expression of the warm youth changed, ¡°King intent?¡±


    His senses were much sharper than Tu Jiuseng. The King within the Mermaid Kingdom made the warm youth wary.


    ¡°That should be the Mermaid King.¡±


    The warm youth stood still and didn¡¯t make any rash movements.


    It seemed that the King intent didn¡¯t have any signs of enmity toward him and was only inspecting him.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I¡¯ll let you live for a little longer.¡±


    The warm youth was motionless as he started to wait.


    Back in the Mermaid Kingdom, Zhao Feng entered the legendary Mermaid Divine Palace with the Mermaid Princess¡¯s guidance.


    The Mermaid Divine Palace was unexpectedly empty.


    Apart from a few items of decoration, there was almost nothing else. However, as they went further in, they smelt a faint whiff of alcohol.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder, and its eyes spun as it glanced toward the front.


    Seeing that, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly expectant.


    The little thieving cat¡¯s sense for treasure ¨C especially spiritual wine ¨C was extremely strong.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto the Mermaid Princess¡¯s shoulder and crossed its front legs, as if telling her who was boss.


    ¡°This cat¡­¡±


    The Mermaid Princess couldn¡¯t help but look at the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and pointed downward with a harrumph.


    ¡°You actually know that the alcohol is below?¡±


    The Mermaid Princess was extremely surprised, and Chen Yilin and company gave the little thieving cat a couple more glances.


    As expected, the Mermaid Princess took them to the underground wine cellar.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had already inspected the first level and confirmed there wasn¡¯t much apart from a few things relating to the mermaids¡¯ inheritance, which were useless for humans.


    The smell of alcohol in the underground cellar was extremely enticing, and a few of the disciples felt their heads spin.


    Looking closely, Zhao Feng saw that this underground cellar was even bigger than the first floor of the Divine Palace, and there was a large fountain in the middle of the cellar.


    The fountain spanned twenty yards, and at the very middle of it was a crystal carving of a stunning female mermaid.


    There were several hundred holes on the mermaid carving, and there was liquid coming out of them.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Everyone found that the female mermaid carving looked slightly similar to the Mermaid Princess, and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but start to ponder.


    The fountain had a rather unique construction, with pipes running throughout the entire underground cellar.


    There were rows and rows of equipment in corners of the cellar. Some were made from metal, others from wood, porcelain, crystal, and other materials.


    The cups and bottles were all seventy percent full, and the alcohol within would be re-made after a certain amount of time to make sure it was fresh and had its own uniqueness.


    Of course, all of these cups and bottles were sealed within crystal cabinets.


    ¡°The entire underground cellar is a winery, with the mermaid at the center that keeps on making fresh alcohol.¡±


    The people from the Mystic True Sacred Clan couldn¡¯t help but click their tongues.


    The entire underground cellar was a single entity that created more than a hundred rare types of alcohol.


    ¡°This is the private cellar of the Demigod?¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

 649 Illusion God Wine

    In the underground cellar of the Mermaid Divine Palace, the group from the Mystic True Sacred Clan was overfilled with joy. They suppressed their excitement as they looked at the mermaid fountain and the alcohol stored within the crystal cabinets.


    ¡°Are the legendary Immortal Springs Wine and Illusion God Wine here?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked the Mermaid Princess.


    The Mermaid Divine Palace was a forbidden area in the Mermaid Kingdom, so normal mermaids weren¡¯t allowed in. Only the Mermaid Princess of each era, who was talented in the Dao of the Soul and had the Mermaid Divine Palace¡¯s inheritance, could enter.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess replied confidently.


    Hearing that, the hearts of everyone shook.


    Thinking back to the past, the genius who had obtained the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine was able to break through to the Void God Realm within a couple years.


    The Immortal Springs Wine could increase one¡¯s lifespan by a thousand years, and it could increase one¡¯s state of existence and cultivation. A thousand years was plenty of time for a normal Sovereign to comprehend the path to the Void God Realm.


    The Illusion God Wine¡¯s effect was even more mysterious ¨C it allowed one to enter a profound state and comprehend a higher intent.


    With the Immortal Springs Wine, one had at least a 50% chance to reach the Void God Realm, but if they also had the Illusion God Wine, there was a 70% to reach the Void God Realm in the future.


    _If I obtain the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine, reaching the Void God Realm will be easy._


    Thinking up to there, their breathing rates quickened.


    Right at this moment, the Mermaid Princess spoke, ¡°The Immortal Springs Wine is in the mermaid fountain, but not all of the liquid is Immortal Springs Wine.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess paused.


    Everyone saw that the mermaid carving had hundreds of holes.


    ¡°Only the liquid from the ¡®bottom part¡¯ is the true Immortal Springs Wine.¡±


    Speaking up to there, the Mermaid Princess¡¯s face went red, and everyone became slightly awkward. One of the female disciples also lowered her head with embarrassment.


    Zhao Feng looked closely and indeed saw that there was a stream of liquid different from the others shooting out from the part where the torso and tail connected.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Immortal Springs Wine?¡±


    Two Core disciples couldn¡¯t contain their greed and closed in on the fountain.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    The Mermaid Princess¡¯s warning was too late.


    When the two Core disciples reached the mermaid fountain, their bodies started to sway, as if they were drunk.


    ¡°What a weird power. The fountain is a winery, and the air of alcohol will directly enter one¡¯s body and soul even if one doesn¡¯t breathe it in.¡±


    Zhao Feng clicked his tongue.


    Such a strong alcohol was indeed worthy of being the Demigod¡¯s alcohol.


    One had to know that the body and state of existence of a Demigod was countless times stronger than Sovereigns and Kings.


    If a mortal drank a bottle, they would die, but if a large beast drank it, it wouldn¡¯t matter much.


    Similarly, the body and alcohol tolerance of a Demigod had exceeded the limit of mortals.


    ¡°Even a Demigod will get drunk if they drink too much. Normal cultivators are unable to get close to the fountain. Even if they can, their consciousness will become drunk, so they won¡¯t be able to gather the alcohol.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess said.


    Hearing that, the expressions of the people present started to become solemn.


    The two Core disciples that had tried to get close were pulled back by Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan.


    ¡°Then what about the alcohol in the cabinets?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes zoned in on the crystal cabinets.


    The alcohol was stored within some pottery in the cabinets.


    ¡°The cabinets are sealed, so the smell of alcohol is weaker, but the cabinets are made from a unique material. Anyone below the Void God Realm will find it difficult to damage them, and it¡¯s extremely difficult to open their doors.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess replied.


    The group fell into silence after hearing that.


    Without a doubt, the Illusion God Wine was in the cabinets.


    Zhao Feng tried controlling a ghost-corpse to close in on the fountain, but the sense of alcohol still extended into his soul.


    ¡°The power of the alcohol can enter the mental energy dimension.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt extremely troubled.


    Even a robot-like ghost-corpse with no consciousness couldn¡¯t complete the task, which was because the ghost-corpse and owner were connected.


    ¡°Then how did that genius obtain the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine?¡±


    Chen Yilin asked.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to find out what happened several thousand years ago, but the Mermaid Princess from back then fell into a deep sleep and died a couple years after the incident, losing a soul inheritance sacred treasure of the mermaids¡­.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess sighed and said.


    The hearts of the group dropped.


    It was obvious that the genius only succeeded last time because of luck.


    It was already a miracle that they could reach this step themselves.


    The group then tried everything they could think of.


    No one could enter within twenty yards of the crystal fountain.


    In the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the longest range of an attack from a peak Great Origin Core Realm was only twenty yards, and this distance was reduced by one-third in the depths of the lake. This meant that no one could use their True Yuan to grab the alcohol.


    On the other side, it was even harder to try to open the cabinets.


    Apart from Zhao Feng, everyone tried something and failed.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do anything. Instead, he looked at the alcohol within the cabinets with twinkling eyes.


    Chen Yilin and company started to think.


    They finally thought of an idea; throw someone across with a rope tied to them, then pull them back after they gathered some alcohol. The person obtaining the alcohol would face a smaller amount of time trapped within the air of alcohol.


    ¡°We can only send people over. If we use items, they¡¯ll just be washed away by the lake water.¡±


    Chen Yilin confirmed.


    After all, they were underwater, and the crystal fountain and the cabinets were separate domains that could ignore the environment.


    ¡°That method is indeed possible. If you put all your soul-defending items onto the rope, that¡¯ll help increase the person¡¯s defense against the sense of alcohol. Since it¡¯ll only be for a second, they won¡¯t actually face that much of the alcohol domain.


    Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head.


    Teamwork was needed to obtain the Immortal Springs Wine and the other alcohols.


    ¡°Hehe, according to our deal before, we¡¯ll split all the rewards before the palace 70-30, but after entering the palace, it¡¯ll depend on our own abilities.¡±


    Chen Yilin suddenly smiled, and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t reject. The rewards they had gathered earlier relied mostly on his army, but his army couldn¡¯t be used in here.


    Whoosh!


    A Core disciple was thrown into the crystal fountain.


    The person responsible for throwing was Jiang Fan since his body was the strongest aside from Zhao Feng.


    On their first try, the Core disciple was thrown below the mermaid carving, but it wasn¡¯t precise enough, so they only managed to obtain a tiny amount of liquid before being pulled back.


    ¡°Wu¡­.¡±


    That disciple couldn¡¯t stand properly, so they were unable to go a second time.


    ¡°En, I¡¯ll throw it better the second time.¡±


    Jiang Fan was confident.


    ¡°Let me try.¡±


    Chen Yilin smiled. His cultivation was the highest here, and his bloodline and body weren¡¯t simple.


    Whoosh!


    Chen Yilin was thrown below the private part of the mermaid carving.


    In that instant, as he was inundated by the air of alcohol, Chen Yilin used a bottle and managed to gather a mouthful of Immortal Springs Wine.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Chen Yilin was pulled back and put the bottle away.


    The amount he had taken just now wasn¡¯t much.


    ¡°I need to rest. Use someone else.¡±


    Even Chen Yilin felt somewhat drunk, and his mind wasn¡¯t as clear as usual.


    In reality, he could¡¯ve gone again, but out of cautiousness, Chen Yilin decided to keep a clear head in case something happened.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, if you work with the Mermaid Princess, you can also try.¡±


    Chen Yilin glanced at Zhao Feng and felt it was strange that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t doing anything.


    It also put him slightly on guard.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess uneasily awaited orders.


    As long as Zhao Feng said so, she was willing to cooperate and help obtain the Immortal Springs Wine.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get the Illusion God Wine first.¡±


    Zhao Feng said after a while.


    His state of existence and body were already extremely close to the King level; thus, it was more important to acquire the intent of a King.


    His first goal was the Illusion God Wine, then the Immortal Springs Wine.


    _Illusion God Wine?_


    Chen Yilin cracked a smile. That alcohol was stored within the cabinets, and it wasn¡¯t easy to open them. Even if he did manage to open them, the air of alcohol could possibly make him fall into an eternal sleep.


    ¡°Master, the Illusion God Wine is in the purple-colored cup in the very center.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess said.


    No one knew more about the Mermaid Divine Palace than her.


    ¡°En.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Thinking up to there, his left eye locked on to the purple-colored cup.


    At this moment, Chen Yilin and company had gathered another mouthful of Immortal Springs Wine.


    Jiang Fan and company all looked curiously toward Zhao Feng. What kind of method would Zhao Feng use to obtain the Illusion God Wine?


    Weng~


    A stealthy whirlpool of eye-bloodline power covered the purple-colored cup.


    _Hmm?_


    The hearts of Chen Yilin and company jumped.


    ¡°Is that a spatial eye-bloodline technique?¡±


    The Core disciples present were all extremely knowledgeable.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart suddenly shook as a crushing pressure descended upon his soul.


    The cabinet contained a magnificent intent, which made Zhao Feng¡¯s attempt end in failure.


    __


    _I used Spatial Movement, but it wasn¡¯t able to transport the target._


    Zhao Feng knew that it was because the cabinet and the cup itself contained the intent of a Demigod.


    The Demigod intent also enveloped the entire Demigod Forgotten Garden. It was the lord of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, as expected of the Demigod Forgotten Garden; that crystal cabinet has the ability to stop spatial techniques.¡±


    ¡°The Demigod Forgotten Garden has existed for such a long time, and there have been many geniuses over the years that specialized in spatial laws, such as Nan Gongsheng.¡±


    Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company weren¡¯t surprised. They were gloating instead.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try again.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t give up so easily. He started to think. The intent just now seemed to have come directly from the cabinet and the cup.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat stood on his shoulder and waved its cat paws.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood the little thieving cat¡¯s meaning.


    ¡°Spatial Movement!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye locked on to the little thieving cat.


    A stealthy whirlpool instantly covered the little thieving cat.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat disappeared, and the eyes of Chen Yilin and company bulged.


    In the next instant:


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared in the cabinet, right next to the Illusion God Wine, and gulped it down in one mouthful.

 650 Reserving Power

    The little thieving cat opened its mouth and gulped down the Illusion God Wine, including the cup.


    Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company were stunned.


    The Illusion God Wine that so many of them couldn¡¯t obtain had been obtained by a cat so easily.


    Miao miao!


    After gulping down the Illusion God Wine, drunkenness appeared in its eyes. Then, it gulped down a red wooden cup and a green-bronze flask.


    After completing all of that, it started to sway, and its consciousness became blurry.


    ¡°That cat¡¯s alcohol tolerance is so high¡­.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess was awed.


    Even Chen Yilin and company wouldn¡¯t be able to last so long in the air of alcohol.


    As the little thieving cat was about to go to its fourth target:


    ¡°Spatial Movement!¡±


    A wisp of eye-bloodline power engulfed the little thieving cat.


    Zhao Feng decided to play it safe.


    Miao miao miao!


    The drunk little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and jumped around.


    Everyone was stunned, and they looked at the little thieving cat with fiery gazes.


    Not only did the little thieving cat have a high capacity for alcohol, it was also extremely quick and intelligent. If they were correct, the little thieving cat had the ability to store things within its body.


    ¡°Little thieving cat.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye released a cold sensation that washed over the little thieving cat.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s drunkenness faded a bit.


    ¡°The Eye of Ice Soul has an effect that can slightly counter alcohol.¡±


    Zhao Feng secretly nodded his head.


    Because he and the little thieving cat were connected through their souls, Zhao Feng was also affected when the little thieving cat faced the air of alcohol.


    That detail was momentarily ignored by Chen Yilin and company.


    Although Zhao Feng faced half the air of alcohol and it was only limited to the soul, there was no sign of drunkenness on his face.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely resilient against mental energy, including the air of alcohol.


    Of course, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to try with his own body. Although his state of existence and body were close to a King¡¯s, their resilience toward the air of alcohol was definitely not as high as the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The aura of Death was somewhere in the Purple Smoke Lake, and if Zhao Feng was correct, the warm youth was here.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, did you obtain the Illusion God Wine?¡±


    The gazes of Chen Yilin and company were impatient.


    Zhao Feng also glanced at the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat opened its mouth and spat out a purple-colored crystal cup that was 70% full. A dreamy alcohol within released a dazzling drunken aura.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, this is the Illusion God Wine.¡±


    Zhao Feng said confidently as he put it in his metal ring.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat also jumped into the ancient metal ring.


    ¡°Get out!¡±


    Zhao Feng laughed and grabbed the little thieving cat by its tail.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat unwillingly spat out a red wooden cup and a green-bronze flask.


    _What a fiery hot energy!_


    Everyone felt as if their souls were being burnt.


    ¡°Dragon Flame Wine!¡±


    The Mermaid Princess exclaimed.


    The aura and power of the Dragon Flame Wine were even stronger than the Illusion God Wine. Of course, that was just the raw energy contained within it.


    On the other hand, the green-bronze flask gave off a slightly numb sensation.


    ¡°Lightning Cloud Wine!¡±


    The Mermaid Princess¡¯s voice started to tremble.


    Shua! Shua!


    With a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng put the Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine away.


    The Dragon Flame Wine was of the fire element, so it wasn¡¯t of much use to Zhao Feng currently, but the Lightning Cloud Wine was related to lightning and should benefit him greatly.


    However, the auras from the two wines were too strong, so Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to test them in his current environment.


    ¡°The rankings of the Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine are probably not much lower than the Illusion God Wine.¡±


    The expressions of Chen Yilin and company flickered, and one of the drunk Core disciples looked at Zhao Feng with ill intent, but at the end, all of them suppressed the urge to attack Zhao Feng.


    They knew how terrifying he was. There was also the Mermaid Princess, as well as a cat with unknown abilities, whereas the Core disciples on Chen Yilin¡¯s side were drunk and had less battle-power.


    Only Jiang Fan and Chen Yilin had relatively clear minds at the moment.


    Jiang Fan took a small sip of Immortal Springs Wine and then sat down as his True Yuan and aura of life started to surge.


    ¡°As expected of the Immortal Springs Wine.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked closely and found that Jiang Fan¡¯s state of existence, his body, and his cultivation had all become stronger.


    If things continued and Jiang Fan kept using the Immortal Springs Wine, it was possible for him to break through another small stage in a couple days¡¯ time.


    ¡°Master, it shouldn¡¯t be hard for you to obtain some Immortal Springs Wine with your strength.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat asked to help.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and took out a rope, then wrapped it around the little thieving cat before throwing it toward the crystal fountain.


    His control over his power was better than Jiang Fan¡¯s, and the little thieving cat was thrown directly to the mermaid carving¡¯s private part.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat opened its mouth right below the position and sucked in for a complete three breaths.


    The Immortal Springs Wine that the little thieving cat obtained was more than ten times the total amount Chen Yilin and company had obtained.


    ¡°Come back!¡±


    Zhao Feng pulled the little thieving cat back, and the expressions of Chen Yilin and company were slightly ugly. They had decided before that the rewards they obtained in the palace depended on their own skill, and they originally had the advantage in numbers, but Zhao Feng¡¯s rewards were much richer than theirs.


    Suddenly:


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡­ has no signs of any drunkenness at all!¡±


    Chen Yilin realized, and his entire heart shook.


    Since Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat were connected through their souls, the air of alcohol would affect the owner as well, and the little thieving cat had already gone out twice, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any signs of drunkenness at all. What did this mean?


    ¡°He hasn¡¯t used all his strength yet.¡±


    Chen Yilin concluded and was shocked by what he thought.


    Zhao Feng had still reserved some strength.


    _Why? Is he wary of us?_


    Chen Yilin sighed in his heart. Zhao Feng was unexpectedly wary.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t wary of them.


    _Tu Jiuseng and company managed to enter the Mermaid Divine Palace too, and that warm youth Wen Luoan is also near the Mermaid Kingdom._


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts were far away at the moment. Afar all, he still had many troops scattered around the Mermaid Kingdom.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sound of water flowing came from the steps.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­! We found it!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng and more than ten others arrived at the underground cellar.


    _How is this possible!?_


    Disbelief appeared on the faces of the disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    The only reason they could enter the Mermaid Divine Palace was because they had kidnapped the Mermaid Princess. How were Tu Jiuseng and company able to enter?


    _There¡¯s only one possibility._


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly in his heart.


    Without the Mermaid King allowing them, Tu Jiuseng and company wouldn¡¯t be able to easily enter.


    The atmosphere in the underground cellar instantly tensed up.


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s side had the advantage in numbers, and a couple Core disciples from the Mystic True Sacred Clan were somewhat drunk, so their battle-powers had been reduced by 20-30%. In addition, Tu Jiuseng also had several Sovereign Lords, beast tamers, and cultivators who trained in the Soul Dao, Sword Dao, and Ghost Corpse Dao.


    The combination of this group was extremely strong.

 651 Keep Them All Behind

    The sudden appearance of Tu Jiuseng and his group caught the disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan off guard.


    Chen Yilin exchanged glances with Zhao Feng warily.


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s group had obviously come prepared, and they were extremely strong, whereas Chen Yilin and company were somewhat drunk. Two or three Core disciples couldn¡¯t even see clearly.


    ¡°Zhe zhe zhe, everyone that¡¯s here will get a share of the Demigod¡¯s cellar.¡±


    Tu Jiuseng laughed.


    Although he had the advantage in numbers, Tu Jiuseng didn¡¯t attack.


    Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan were both amongst the top tier of geniuses in the Sacred Land, and Chen Yilin was even one of the top ten prodigies.


    Tu Jiuseng also knew how troublesome Zhao Feng was.


    Apart from that, Jiang Fan had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and was pretty close to the top ten geniuses¡¯ level.


    Seeing this, Chen Yilin let out a slight breath. It seemed like Tu Jiuseng had no intentions of attacking.


    The two groups both had their respective advantages, and fighting each other didn¡¯t benefit either side.


    The atmosphere calmed down a bit.


    Tu Jiuseng and company also saw the layout of the underground cellar and prepared to obtain the alcohol.


    ¡°Wait.¡±


    An emotionless voice tensed the atmosphere once more.


    The speaker was a blue-haired youth with sharp eyes.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, do you want to stop me?¡±


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s face fell.


    He was extremely wary of Zhao Feng. More than a dozen people led by him had been single-handedly defeated by Zhao Feng, and Tu Jiuseng¡¯s own injury had only just recovered.


    Although Zhao Feng currently had no beasts around him, his strength and mastery of the Dao of the Soul was extremely high.


    ¡°Keep them all behind!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was filled with cold killing intent.


    The blue-haired figure¡¯s bloodline released an ancient and original aura.


    ¡°What a powerful ancient aura!¡±


    Jiang Fan¡¯s heart shook. The ancient aura from Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline was much stronger than what he remembered seeing at the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    A cold Soul pressure descended onto this underwater world.


    Apart from Tu Jiuseng, everyone else felt a pressure on their body and soul.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, are you really thinking of starting a battle? Or are you just trying to scare Tu Jiuseng?¡±


    Chen Yilin was shocked and asked Zhao Feng through Spiritual Sense.


    In reality, he didn¡¯t want to fight with Tu Jiuseng¡¯s group since he wasn¡¯t very confident. After all, everyone could obtain alcohol here if they had the ability to do so.


    Zhao Feng used his actions to reply to Chen Yilin.


    Shua!


    He waved his hand, and a Sovereign Lord golden skeleton appeared in the air.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess wiggled her tail as she swam next to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng now had two Sovereign Lords next to him, and the Mermaid Princess had a big advantage in water.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared as well while holding a black flag, and when it waved the flag, a stunning power of Ghost Corpse energy covered everything within thirty yards.


    ¡°Get ready to fight!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s expression changed. Zhao Feng¡¯s methods had exceeded his expectations.


    At this moment, many people were confused. Why was Zhao Feng so bent on making Tu Jiuseng his enemy?


    ¡°Brother Zhao, are you sure you want to do this? A fight to the death won¡¯t benefit us at all.¡±


    Chen Yilin said solemnly.


    ¡°Ten pieces of Purple Scaled Grass. Even if you don¡¯t help, I¡¯m going to attack.¡±


    Zhao Feng said emotionlessly without explaining.


    As of right now, Tu Jiuseng wasn¡¯t much of a threat on his own, but there was a much larger threat at the edge of the Mermaid Kingdom. If Tu Jiuseng teamed up with the warm youth Wen Luoan, the danger they would pose would be huge.


    Luckily, Wen Luoan, the disciple of the Emperor of Death, hadn¡¯t entered the Mermaid Divine Palace yet.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Chen Yilin agreed helplessly.


    If Zhao Feng wanted to forcefully attack, they had to help. It was better to just choose the ten pieces of Purple Scaled Grass and team up with Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, how confident are you?¡±


    Jiang Fan asked.


    ¡°If it was just me alone, 90%, but with all your help, 100%.¡±


    Hearing that, Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan almost choked.


    Whoosh!


    As soon as he finished saying that, Zhao Feng¡¯s figure flashed like a fish underwater.


    In the world of water, Zhao Feng used his Water bloodline.


    At the same time, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array covered Zhao Feng¡¯s figure and crushed toward Tu Jiuseng¡¯s group.


    The Mermaid Princess and the golden skeleton also charged.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s cold roar resounded across the underground cellar. Two demonic flaming dragons started to form behind him and repelled the ghost-corpse aura.


    This time, Tu Jiuseng didn¡¯t underestimate Zhao Feng at all and immediately used a battle skill from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.


    Shu!


    Dark purple scales appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s skin. In the Purple Smoke Lake, his Water bloodline and his defensive bloodline became much stronger.


    The two geniuses clashed at full power.


    Bam!


    Tu Jiuseng was forced back several yards with one punch, and his blood boiled.


    The ripple around Zhao Feng faded by a bit as his figure turned into a blue light and streaked past.


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power had the advantage underwater.


    ¡°Your opponent¡­ is me!¡±


    Beams of silver-white light shot over just as Tu Jiuseng stabilized himself.


    _Chen Yilin!_


    Tu Jiuseng didn¡¯t dare to underestimate him either. He clashed with Chen Yilin as the figures of his demonic flaming dragons expanded.


    Right at this moment:


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    Screams came from the demonic group as the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array swept over them.


    Zhao Feng, the Mermaid Princess, and the golden skeleton used the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array to hide themselves.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the black flag, and dark clouds formed snakes that swept toward the enemy.


    ¡°Hehe.¡±


    Zhao Feng retreated to the steps after killing one or two people.


    The hearts of Tu Jiuseng and company went cold when they saw that out of the corner of their eyes.


    It seemed as if Zhao Feng wanted to finish all of them off at once.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ Tu Jiuseng, take this punch!¡±


    Jiang Fan¡¯s ancient bloodline was released as he charged in from the side.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Blood dripped from Tu Jiuseng¡¯s mouth as he fought the two.


    The Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline obviously showed signs of suppressing his Demonic Dao bloodline.


    Two or three people went to handle Jiang Fan, but they weren¡¯t his match.


    What Tu Jiuseng worried about most was Zhao Feng, and what he was scared of soon came.


    ¡°Eye of Illusion ¨C Maze City!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye seemed to contain a critical attractiveness.


    Shua!


    The hearts of the people present felt their heart shake.


    In the next instant, the underground cellar turned into a cold, desolate city.


    The old city was enveloped by white mist, and the landscape was extremely complex like a maze.


    ¡°Not good! An illusion!¡±


    A Soul Dao genius from the Demonic Dao group exclaimed.


    However, Zhao Feng had comprehended the Dark Eye Secret Manual and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, and the Maze City illusion could envelop the targets¡¯ consciousness.


    At the same time, the sound of a mysterious and ancient mermaid song appeared, which made them become lost in the beautiful music.


    The Mermaid Princess had cooperated with Zhao Feng and used her Soul talent skill ¨C the Song of Mermaids.


    The Song of Mermaids was a legendary type of skill in terms of the Soul Entertainment Dao.


    Female mermaids specialized in seduction.


    ¡°This Mermaid Princess¡¯s mastery of illusion Soul techniques isn¡¯t weaker than mine. The power of seduction contained within is even purer.¡±


    Zhao Feng was secretly surprised.


    The combination of the Maze City illusion and the Song of Mermaids worked the power of illusions to its peak.


    Anyone below the half-step King level would probably be unable to escape.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    Screams of the Demonic Dao geniuses came from around the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Quick, quick, quick! Retreat!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng exclaimed and took in a cold breath.


    The hearts of Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan shook.


    What Zhao Feng said earlier wasn¡¯t a lie. Even without their help, Zhao Feng was 90% confident in defeating Tu Jiuseng and company.


    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡±


    Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan teamed up and chased after Tu Jiuseng.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng was still smiling and waiting at the entrance.


    ¡°Demonic Sky Body!¡±


    In this desperate situation, Tu Jiuseng roared, and his body started to expand into a demonic figure that seemed to be connected to Heaven and Earth.


    Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan were instantly pushed away by a dominating demonic aura.


    After using this technique, Tu Jiuseng¡¯s battle-power doubled.


    Even normal half-step Kings wouldn¡¯t be his match right now.


    ¡°All of you, die!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s aura covered the battlefield.


    At this moment, Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and even Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t clash with him head-on. All they could do was save themselves.


    ¡°Die!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng laughed gruesomely and charged at Zhao Feng.


    He hated Zhao Feng the most, and Zhao Feng was blocking the entrance.


    ¡°Divine Light of Destruction!¡±


    A beam of dazzling light shot through the underwater world and glittered with a sharp light.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye seemed to turn into the moon.


    Boom!


    The demonic flames around Tu Jiuseng¡¯s body and his demonic figure instantly started to fade.


    The Divine Light of Destruction allegedly had the ability to destroy every technique and disperse everything.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Divine Light of Destruction was copied from the Golden Sun Family, and although it wasn¡¯t the purest, his mastery of Soul Dao eye-bloodline techniques was now extremely high compared to back then.


    ¡°Zhao Feng even knows a dispersal eye-bloodline technique?¡±


    Chen Yilin and company were shocked.


    A single beam of the Divine Light of Destruction managed to weaken Tu Jiuseng¡¯s Demonic Sky Body by 20-30%.


    _As one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land, his bloodline battle techniques surpass those from the outside world by far._


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    If it was a normal secret technique, Zhao Feng¡¯s Divine Light of Destruction might¡¯ve been able to disperse it in an instant.


    ¡°Ice Soul Shooting Line!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s body trembled slightly and slowed down.


    At the same moment, Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan both used their killing moves, landing their attacks on Tu Jiuseng¡¯s back.


    Wah!


    Tu Jiuseng spat out a mouthful of blood as he roared and flashed toward Zhao Feng at the entrance.

 652 King Inten

    Tu Jiuseng charged toward Zhao Feng with an injured body.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, watch out!¡±


    Chen Yilin and company sweated coldly.


    In his Demonic Sky Body state, Tu Jiuseng¡¯s battle-power was almost unparalleled against those below the Void God Realm, and that was even with the fact that his attack had been weakened by 30% from the Divine Light of Destruction.


    One had to admit that each of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land were prodigies that could stand at the top of an entire island zone.


    Zhao Feng stood still and didn¡¯t panic. Instead, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.


    Although Tu Jiuseng¡¯s battle-power was great, it wasn¡¯t hard for Zhao Feng to protect himself. If he used the Void Space Eye Slash, he had a high chance of instantly killing Tu Jiuseng, but he wasn¡¯t Zhao Feng¡¯s true enemy. He needed to carefully consider his battle-strength in order to face the danger that would follow.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Hundred Changes!¡±


    Brilliant flashes of purple-colored Wind Lightning appeared around Zhao Feng.


    Shua! Shua! Shua~~~~


    The flashes of purple Wind Lightning split into two, then into four.


    In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen images of Zhao Feng were spread out around the entrance, covering a span of twenty yards.


    Whoosh!


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s attack missed.


    Incredibly, not only could Zhao Feng¡¯s images attack, they had the same exact auras. It was hard to distinguish which one was real and which were the fakes.


    After cultivating the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning Hundred Changes had reached a new peak, and each image was agile and cunning.


    ¡°Divine Light of Destruction!¡±


    A second beam of light travelled through the underwater world and glittered with a cold sharpness.


    Boom!


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s Demonic Sky Body was weakened by another 20-30% and started to become unstable.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning!¡±


    A pair of purple Wind Lightning wings extended across Zhao Feng¡¯s back and caused the power of his Wind Lightning intent to increase dramatically. He was like an ancient demon surrounded by wind and lightning.


    Boom!


    A terrifying aura of Destruction descended across a radius of twenty yards.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    A dragon of Destruction seemed to appear with a thrust of Zhao Feng¡¯s palm, and it roared in the chaotic storm.


    With the Wings of Wind and Lightning, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed, offense, and Wind Lightning intent had reached the peak. On the other hand, after being hit by two beams of Divine Light of Destruction, Tu Jiuseng¡¯s battle-power had been weakened, and he was severely injured.


    Bam!


    The two destructive forces clashed, evaporating the water nearby.


    ¡°Blade of Purple Destruction!¡±


    The wings on Zhao Feng¡¯s back fluttered as a thin, dark purple blade started to condense in his hand.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Bam! Boom!


    The two figures exchanged blows more than a dozen times near the entrance.


    When Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan had arrived, there were already several bloody scorch marks on Tu Jiuseng¡¯s body.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng was scared and started panicking.


    With the Wings of Wind and Lightning, Zhao Feng was much faster than most people. On top of that, his defense was too strong. He couldn¡¯t lose in this underwater world.


    ¡°Pursue him!¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and followed Tu Jiuseng to the first level of the Mermaid Divine Palace.


    In a moment:


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning fluttered as they seemed to break through space. With a flash, Zhao Feng had closed in on Tu Jiuseng.


    Shuu~~~~


    The Blade of Purple Destruction chopped off one of Tu Jiuseng¡¯s arms.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    Tu Jiuseng screamed, and he started to burn his True Yuan, turning him into a flaming demonic light that sped out of the Mermaid Divine Palace.


    ¡°My Wings of Wind and Lightning seemed to barely touch the edge of space.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to comprehend the feeling of breaking through space just now.


    In the end, he still hadn¡¯t comprehended the true essence of the Wings of Wind and Lightning. The true Wings of Wind and Lightning had powerful wing-based Wind Lightning battle techniques and other incredible powers, such as travelling ten thousand miles in an instant.


    ¡°Tu Jiuseng won¡¯t be a threat for at least ten days.¡±


    Zhao Feng sent Tu Jiuseng away with his eyes.


    He didn¡¯t have any trustworthy friends in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and he still needed to conserve his strength.


    Whoosh!


    Tu Jiuseng burned his True Yuan and sped out of the Mermaid Kingdom.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    The Mermaid King was surprised.


    His King-level Divine Sense couldn¡¯t enter the Mermaid Divine Palace, but from the looks of it, Tu Jiuseng¡¯s group almost perished entirely. The escaping Tu Jiuseng was severely injured and missing an arm.


    _That Zhao Feng is extremely terrifying. Looks like I need to ask Meng Xi for help, but she¡¯s in the Hundred Flower Garden right now, obtaining countless resources and treasures._


    Tu Jiuseng thought.


    Meng Xi was extremely arrogant and had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Her master was also a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord.


    ¡°Brother Tu.¡±


    A warm voice sounded from above.


    __


    _Who¡¯s there!?_


    Tu Jiuseng jumped up in fright, but before he could even react, a white hand pressed down on his shoulder.


    ¡°It¡¯s you¡­!¡±


    A warm youth full of smiles appeared next to Tu Jiuseng.


    Sii!


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s body contorted in pain as all his power, including his bloodline and True Yuan, was restricted.


    ¡°How¡­ how is this possible!?¡±


    Tu Jiuseng couldn¡¯t believe it. They were both at the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm, but the warm youth sealed him with just one hand.


    He couldn¡¯t do anything at all.


    Tu Jiuseng¡¯s soul and bloodline trembled in fear.


    ¡°Brother Wen, this is what happened¡­¡±


    Tu Jiuseng then respectfully told him what had happened in the Mermaid Divine Palace.


    He didn¡¯t dare to resist the warm youth. He obeyed from the bottom of his heart. After all, the difference in strength was just too big.


    At the same time, the Mermaid King¡¯s Divine Sense scanned through the air and was surprised.


    _That innocent warm youth was actually so strong?_


    Suddenly, the warm youth glanced above, ¡°My King, you¡¯ve been watching for a long time now. What is the meaning of this?¡±


    Weng~


    The Divine Sense of a King released a Magnificent Power.


    ¡°King¡­!? Could it be¡­?¡±


    Tu Jiuseng exclaimed while the warm youth looked up with an expressionless face.


    ¡°Human, we might have the chance to work together¡­.¡±


    The Mermaid King¡¯s voice sounded next to the warm youth¡¯s ear.


    ¡°What can¡¯t a King do? Why should I believe you?¡±


    The warm youth asked.


    In the underground cellar of the Mermaid Divine Palace, Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company were still trying to obtain the Immortal Springs Wine and the other alcohol in the cabinets.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already obtained the Immortal Springs Wine, the Illusion God Wine, the Dragon Flame Wine, and the Lightning Cloud Wine.¡±


    Zhao Feng stopped. He still needed to conserve energy in order to face the Pursuit of Death. The feeling of danger within his soul didn¡¯t fade.


    Zhao Feng found a corner and sat down, while the Mermaid Princess and golden skeleton stood on his left and right.


    The slightly drunk little thieving cat sat on his shoulder and occasionally hiccupped from the alcohol.


    Zhao Feng first took a small sip of the Immortal Springs Wine, which instantly merged into his flesh and blood.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s True Yuan instantly started to move around, and his lifeforce increased. Even more incredibly, this energy was extremely calm, as if it was from the mother of life.


    A mortal could also drink a sip of the Immortal Springs Wine, and they would have a thousand more years of life.


    Zhao Feng could feel his cultivation increase steadily.


    ¡°If a mortal drinks a sip, not only would their lifespan increase by a thousand years, they would instantly reach the True Spirit Realm at the least.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew how heaven-defying this Immortal Springs Wine was.


    In the cultivation would, every rank was extremely hard to break through, but for Demigods at the peak of the Fan Universe, it was extremely easy for them to increase someone else¡¯s rank. However, Zhao Feng believed that obtaining power yourself was the most reliable and had the greatest potential.


    In just a short while, Zhao Feng had taken three sips of Immortal Springs Wine.


    His True Yuan and cultivation were increasing by leaps and bounds, and he was closing in on the peak Small Origin Core Realm. After all, Zhao Feng had already formed the Crystal Core, so he could absorb the Immortal Springs Wine to its fullest effect.


    ¡°After completely absorbing this Immortal Springs Wine, my state of existence will not be weaker than a King¡¯s, and my cultivation will be extremely close to the Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and felt the change in his state of existence.


    The sensation wasn¡¯t very strong. Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence had already been strengthened by the Ancient Dream Realm aura, the heart blood essence, and the Purple Scaled Grass, so it was already close to a King¡¯s.


    The Immortal Springs Wine was only useful to those below the Void God Realm. It didn¡¯t have much value to a true King.


    Furthermore, the Immortal Springs Wine¡¯s thousand-year increase in lifespan could only be used once.


    Zhao Feng took a few sips and waited for his body to fully absorb it. Drinking more would do nothing.


    _We¡¯re both using the Immortal Springs Wine; why is the effect on Zhao Feng better than on me?_


    Jiang Fan looked at the changes to Zhao Feng, but he obviously wouldn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng already had a Crystal Core.


    There was no bottleneck to the Great Origin Core Realm for Zhao Feng. All he needed was to gather energy and wait, and the Immortal Springs Wine increased this speed by thousands and tens of thousands of times.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try the Illusion God Wine.¡±


    Zhao Feng glanced at Chen Yilin and company. They were all resting and starting to become solemn.


    They had no intentions of leaving for a while. They had kidnapped the Mermaid Princess in order to enter the cellar of a Demigod. It was an extremely rare chance.


    Instead of fighting outside like the other geniuses, it was better to just stay here.


    Gulu~


    Zhao Feng drank a sip of Illusion God Wine.


    In an instant, a strong sense of drunkenness spread throughout Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and consciousness.


    The Illusion God Wine was different from other alcohol ¨C it only affected the soul.


    Although it seemed as if Zhao Feng ¡°drank¡± the Illusion God Wine, it was actually just absorbed by his soul.


    A breath later, Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness and mind entered a profound state.


    He felt as if his consciousness was trying to leave his physical body and enter the broad world outside.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye started to thump, releasing a cold sensation that allowed Zhao Feng to maintain a certain amount of calmness while comprehending this state. This meant that the effect of the Illusion God Wine was even better for Zhao Feng.


    Waves of drunkenness enveloped Zhao Feng¡¯s soul.


    He felt his soul and consciousness become lighter and lighter, as if they could be blown away by the wind.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could only allow him to be 50% clear-minded.


    Three breaths later, the Illusion God Wine¡¯s effect had reached its maximum.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng felt as if his consciousness had broken out of his physical body and merged with nature.


    In this state, he felt that his every action and thought seemed to represent Heaven and Earth. It was as if he was one with the world.


    In the Demigod¡¯s underground wine cellar, the water surrounding Zhao Feng was suddenly pushed away by a Magnificent Power as an invisible intent momentarily connected with the Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°King intent¡­!¡±


    Chen Yilin exclaimed. His heart shook as he glanced at the blue-haired youth in the corner, who currently had his eyes closed.

 653 Mermaid King, Thank You

    The Illusion God Wine was indeed worthy of being one of the Fan Universe¡¯s most legendary types of alcohol. In just a short while, Zhao Feng had entered a profound state that allowed him to comprehend King intent before actually breaking through.


    Of course, the effect of the Illusion God Wine was momentary. He hadn¡¯t truly reached the level of a King.


    Everything depended on one¡¯s ability of understanding and how long the Illusion God Wine¡¯s effect lasted, and Zhao Feng was different from others who had used the Illusion God Wine.


    Normally, people would have a blurry consciousness from the alcohol, but Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye allowed him to be half-awake. This meant that he had a clearer ability to comprehend during the wine¡¯s effect.


    Furthermore, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had powerful inspection and comprehension abilities to begin with, allowing Zhao Feng to touch the edges of the Void God Realm.


    His consciousness had left his physical body and merged with nature.


    Zhao Feng suppressed the drunkenness and used every moment to gain understanding.


    He realized that, after his consciousness left his body, his compatibility with Heaven and Earth reached a new high.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness could see his own body below, as well as Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company¡¯s expressions.


    With just one thought, Zhao Feng could gather utmost power, and he could use more Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. This was the Magnificent Power that only a King had.


    However, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t condensed a full Void God intent, and the Magnificent Power was just in its early stages. However, in his current state, Zhao Feng could absorb Heaven Earth Yuan Qi thousands of times faster.


    Weng~


    Under Zhao Feng¡¯s guidance, the limitless Heaven Earth Yuan Qi entered his Crystal Core, and the Immortal Springs Wine was quickly absorbed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence and cultivation increased rapidly.


    ¡°Peak Small Origin Core Realm!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s King intent allowed him to absorb the Immortal Springs Wine to its maximum and breakthrough. In just an instant, his cultivation had reached the peak Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°My Core Center has already long crystallized, so the Great Origin Core Realm poses no challenge to me.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that the Great Origin Core Realm was within grasp.


    However, at this moment, the effect of the Illusion God Wine started to fade. The mystic state was starting to blur.


    Everything was like the calm and clear water of a pond that was about to be disturbed.


    Gulu~


    Zhao Feng immediately drank another gulp or two of Illusion God Wine.


    Shua!


    The profound state started to become clearer, and the feeling of King intent once again spread across Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    ¡°I¡¯ve completely absorbed the power of the Immortal Springs Wine. My state of existence is around the same as a King.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that his state of existence had reached another level.


    One had to know that he drank three gulps of Immortal Springs Wine. Normal people would need a year or even longer to completely absorb all the Immortal Springs Wine, but Zhao Feng had done it in an instant.


    At this moment in time, he was like a true king, and all the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was bowing to him.


    His every thought and action caused Magnificent Power to move, and the Crystal Core in Zhao Feng¡¯s body was slowly expanding.


    ¡°I already have a Crystal Core, so breaking through to the Great Origin Core Realm won¡¯t increase my strength by much.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s main focus wasn¡¯t cultivation. The most precious thing was still the comprehension of King intent.


    With the first sip a moment ago, Zhao Feng had barely comprehended the edges of it.


    The second time, Zhao Feng took another two sips of the Illusion God Wine so the effect would be stronger.


    ¡°This feeling of leaving my physical body is similar to my Eye of Heaven.¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something.


    The Eye of Heaven was similar to King intent.


    When thinking up to there, Zhao Feng started to circulate his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Shua!


    In that instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness and senses expanded by countless times, and his King intent¡¯s range also expanded dramatically.


    ¡°The Mermaid Divine Palace!¡±


    A transparent blue eye appeared in the underwater world and gazed down at the Mermaid Divine Palace.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. Who knew what would happen when the Eye of Heaven and the King intent combined? However, one thing was for sure ¨C his understanding of King intent would become deeper, and the range would expand.


    Weng~


    His King intent appeared among Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Whose King intent is this?¡±


    Another Divine Sense of a King flew through the air, and the Magnificent Power of a King shook the soul-dimension.


    The owner of this Divine Sense was obviously the Mermaid King.


    ¡°It¡¯s you!?¡±


    The Mermaid King looked at the Eye of Heaven and confirmed that it was Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye. This made his heart shake.


    __


    _This brat actually had King intent? Is this the effect of the Illusion God Wine?_


    The Mermaid King¡¯s Magnificent Power was extremely strong, and he seemed to be a God.


    The two King intents clashed, and Zhao Feng¡¯s intent was instantly suppressed and almost shattered, but luckily, the Eye of Heaven was a very unique technique that allowed his intent to consolidate itself.


    His intent started to reform after being shattered, which allowed Zhao Feng¡¯s understanding and control to increase even more.


    ¡°The Mermaid King¡¯s condensed his King intent a lot, so his every action and every breath are one with Heaven and Earth.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to inspect the Mermaid King¡¯s King intent and found the critical point ¨C the will of a Void God Realm King.


    ¡°Condensing this intent to the maximum and combining it with his will until they become one ¨C that is King intent.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood, but at the end of the day, theory was just theory. Completing that step required one¡¯s soul and mental energy to reach a very high level.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy had already reached that step with the help of the Illusion God Wine and the Eye of Heaven.


    As for his soul, Zhao Feng had barely managed to meet that step since he had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    Thinking up to there, Zhao Feng started to circulate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique as well, condensing his mental energy over and over.


    This was a hard step, but it wasn¡¯t too hard for Zhao Feng since his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had the power of ¡°copying.¡±


    Boom!


    The Mermaid King¡¯s Magnificent Power shook the soul-dimension.


    ¡°Hmph, without the intent of a King, it doesn¡¯t matter if you are able to enter this state. You won¡¯t be able to last long.¡±


    The Mermaid King snickered coldly, but right at that moment:


    Weng~


    A Magnificent Power of a King formed around the Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°What!!? How!!?¡±


    The Mermaid King couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    Although the King intent was extremely weak, it was agile and light, as if it had been refined by dozens of separate intents.


    ¡°Hehe. Mermaid King, thank you.¡±


    A new Divine Sense scanned from around the Eye of Heaven.


    Without the Mermaid King, a ¡°real teacher teaching him,¡± it would¡¯ve been hard for Zhao Feng to condense his King intent.


    As expected, after refining his King intent, Zhao Feng¡¯s every thought and action could easily reach the level of a King. His will had been imprinted onto the King intent, and even though the effect of the Illusion God Wine started to fade, Zhao Feng¡¯s mind only became clearer and clearer. His new King intent didn¡¯t fade away.


    ¡°Fucking human~~~!¡±


    The Mermaid King¡¯s angry roar resounded across Heaven and Earth.


    The Magnificent Power of a King caused the water to freeze, and the minds of living beings nearby were unable to move.


    ¡°There¡¯s no use.¡±


    The newly-formed King intent released a Magnificent Power that passed through the soul.


    The Mermaid King¡¯s Magnificent Power wasn¡¯t able to stop Zhao Feng. All it could do was suppress him.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven suddenly disappeared from above the Mermaid Divine Palace.


    In the underground wine cellar, Zhao Feng opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face as he put away the remaining Illusion God Wine.


    With just a thought, he could enter the ¡°one with Heaven and Earth¡± state, and his intent could pass through both the physical and the mental energy worlds.


    However, after exiting from the Eye of Heaven state, Zhao Feng¡¯s King intent would be weaker.


    _¡­but even if that¡¯s the case, I now have a half-step King intent that¡¯s even greater than other half-step Kings¡¯._


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. After all, the main reason why he could form King intent just now was because of the Eye of Heaven, so it would only be at the half-step King level without the Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°Half-step King intent¡­!¡±


    Chen Yilin and company felt a magnificent force that pressured them.


    Apart from Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan, the minds of everyone else were unable to even go against Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t just a normal half-step King intent!¡±


    Chen Yilin¡¯s heart shook.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s half-step King intent contained the intent of a true Void God Realm King and was extremely strong, whereas normal half-step Kings couldn¡¯t form Magnificent Power.


    ¡°My intent is also suppressed by the Demigod intent of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    After reaching his current level, he knew how terrifying the Demigod intent truly was.


    If his own intent was a pond, then the Demigod intent was an ocean.


    ¡°The effect of the Illusion God Wine is so strong?¡±


    Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company were respectful yet envious.


    They didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and Eye of Heaven allowed the Illusion God Wine to be absorbed to its absolute limit. Furthermore, the Mermaid King had ¡°demonstrated¡± for him.


    If it were any other genius that drank the same amount of Illusion God Wine, the effect wouldn¡¯t reach even one-tenth of Zhao Feng¡¯s in the same amount of time.


    _In my normal state, my intent is only at the half-step King level. Let¡¯s try the Eye of Heaven._


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Shua!


    His intent left his body and gazed down on the Mermaid Divine Kingdom.


    The Eye of Heaven¡¯s range of vision was becoming bigger and bigger.


    Weng~


    A transparent blue eye merged into the sky of the Purple Smoke Lake, and a Magnificent Power appeared around the Eye of Heaven that seemed to freeze Heaven and Earth.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s intent had reached the beginning stages of a King.


    ¡°As expected, only in the Eye of Heaven state will I have a true King intent.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt extremely good. It was as if he was a king looking down at the world.


    The thought of a King intent could easily kill normal Sovereigns and Sovereign Lords.

 654 Overlooking the Garden

    On the surface of the Purple Smoke Lake, the warm youth floated above the water and suddenly raised his head.


    ¡°King intent?¡±


    Wen Luoan¡¯s face started to turn solemn.


    The Eye of Heaven in the sky overlooked the entire Purple Smoke Lake, and the nearby beings all felt a pressure on their souls.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng should have momentarily obtained the ability to maintain his King intent, but neither his soul nor his cultivation have reached the level of a King.¡±


    The warm youth became calm once more. As long as Zhao Feng didn¡¯t truly become a King, Wen Luoan didn¡¯t put him in his eyes. If it weren¡¯t for the Mermaid King, he would have already charged into the Mermaid Divine Palace.


    ¡°Human, if you had worked with me earlier, that Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t have comprehended King intent!¡±


    The Mermaid King¡¯s roar sounded, but the warm youth remained unmoved. He didn¡¯t believe anyone in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, let alone a King of another species.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven disappeared from the sky above the Purple Smoke Lake.


    ¡°Why not use this chance to see the situation of the entire Demigod Forgotten Garden?¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    The Eye of Heaven¡¯s ability was to pass through space, but even then, that ability was restricted heavily in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. However, with the assistance of his newly-formed King intent, the pressure from the Demigod Forgotten Garden was much weaker.


    In the next instant, elsewhere in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, on the seventh floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, more than a dozen dazzling treasures floated in mid-air. The air of treasure radiating from them was enough to entice even a King.


    ¡°Who dares to stop me!?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng was unmoving as silver light radiated around him. A King intent released a Magnificent Power that pushed aside nearby geniuses and caused their souls to shake.


    There were seventy or eighty people here competing, and yet Nan Gongsheng fought with them all easily on his own.


    ¡°We can¡¯t let Nan Gongsheng get the Qiankun Sword. If he gets it, which genius would be able to stop him in the Sacred Land?¡±


    ¡°Qiankun Sword, Sky Locking Bow, Ten Thousand-Sided Seal¡­ all of these are legendary weapons that are very close to the Heaven-Grade. Any one of them can affect the situation of the entire Sacred Land.¡±


    There were many geniuses on the seventh floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. Those that dared to compete here were all elite geniuses from the Sacred Land. They were much stronger than the geniuses around the Purple Smoke Lake.


    However, the treasures above were extremely hard to obtain. One not only had to have sufficient strength to do so, they also needed to try to connect with these weapons.


    Even with Nan Gongsheng¡¯s strength, he could only barely connect with the Qiankun Sword.


    Shua!


    Right at this moment, a transparent blue eye appeared on the seventh floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.


    ¡°King intent?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng immediately sensed it, and a shocking King intent surged from him.


    In terms of cultivation, he had reached the half-step King, and he had a King intent of his own.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s King intent shook slightly and was instantly suppressed. After all, his King intent was condensed in a rush, and it was weaker than Nan Gongsheng¡¯s to begin with.


    Just as Zhao Feng was about to leave:


    Weng~~


    Amongst the treasures, an ancient bow hummed faintly, and the light around it suddenly faded.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng formed a mysterious connection with the ancient bow.


    ¡°Sky Locking Bow!¡±


    The nearby geniuses exclaimed.


    These treasures and weapons were held down by the Demigod intent, and they were unable to be taken by force. From the looks of it, the Sky Locking Bow wanted to escape the Demigod intent¡¯s restriction.


    ¡°If you¡¯re willing, come with me.¡±


    A surge of eye-bloodline power came from the giant eye as a whirlpool engulfed the Sky Locking Bow.


    Shua!


    On the seventh floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, one of the sacred weapons, the Sky Locking Bow, suddenly disappeared.


    ¡°Who just took away the Sky Locking Bow through the air?¡±


    The geniuses present all clicked their tongues.


    The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower had a total of nine floors, and each floor was extremely hard to break past.


    The highest record in history was seven floors, and they had reached that level in record time. This was all because of Nan Gongsheng, who had heaven-defying battle-power.


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng had his hands behind his back, and he felt angry about the unfairness. He had tried for a long time and didn¡¯t even obtain the Qiankun Sword, but some random genius suddenly came and easily obtained the Sky Locking Bow.


    ¡°That eye looks like¡­¡±


    Brother Nan, Dong Wenjian, and company in the crowd looked at each other.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven disappeared from the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.


    Nan Gongsheng¡¯s battle-power made Zhao Feng wary.


    In reality, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t even thought about participating in the competition of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. He had only just formed his half-step King intent, and apart from his state of existence, all his other aspects were still far-off from a real King.


    Elsewhere, there was a large area of the Demigod Forgotten Garden that was filled with forests and grass, as well as many beasts and other species. At the same time, this was the place that contained the most treasures.


    ¡°Hundred Flower Garden.¡±


    The Eye of Heaven floated in the air above the garden.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh. The number of treasures here was several times the amount of the Purple Smoke Lake.


    Of course, the danger here was also far greater.


    Zhao Feng could sense several King auras below.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised when he looked at a certain spot.


    The Magnificent Power of a King spread across half a mile in a certain place of the Hundred Flower Garden.


    A unicorn with purple scales radiated flaming lightning as it easily slaughtered a group of beasts nearby. The strength of the beast group was comparable to Zhao Feng¡¯s army.


    It was hard to imagine that this small, normal-horse-sized purple-scaled unicorn was a King.


    However, that wasn¡¯t the main point. What was even more incredible was that a girl with long hair sat on the purple-scaled unicorn¡¯s back.


    The girl was extremely clean, and her face was like jade. Her eyes were like a pair of stars out of a dream.


    ¡°Meng Xi!!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook.


    The girl was the prodigy of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, Meng Xi.


    Meng Xi had a purple-scaled horn in her hand as she controlled the King below her.


    ¡°How did she manage to control a King beast?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t believe it. He thought that Nan Gongsheng¡¯s strength was already monstrous; he didn¡¯t expect Meng Xi to have such a killing move.


    Meng Xi¡¯s own strength was already amongst the peak of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land ¨C only below that of Nan Gongsheng¡¯s ¨C and now, she had a unicorn that could sweep across the entire Hundred Flower Garden and gather limitless treasures.


    ¡°Hmmm? King intent?¡±


    Meng Xi sensed something. She had a mysterious Soul-based bloodline that came from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    She wasn¡¯t scared to face a King intent.


    Meng Xi and the unicorn both looked up at the sky, but the Eye of Heaven had disappeared the instant it appeared.


    Just a short moment after it disappeared:


    Boom!


    The sky shook as a horn of purple lightning pierced through the spot where the Eye of Heaven was just at.


    ¡°That reaction was pretty fast.¡±


    Meng Xi snickered coldly as her starry eyes twinkled. She now had a faint impression of the Eye of Heaven.


    Zhao Feng let out a breath as his gaze left the Hundred Flower Garden.


    Although he had formed half-step King intent, the difference between him and Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi was still quite big.


    _The Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and the Hundred Flower Garden will soon be ruled by Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi respectively. Then those two will soon go to other areas of the Demigod Forgotten Garden._


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Shua!


    His gaze shifted once more and descended upon a quiet palace.


    ¡°Heart Healing Palace.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    The Heart Healing Palace was the place of healing and seclusion for the owner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    In terms of precious treasures, the Heart Healing Palace couldn¡¯t be compared to the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower or the Hundred Flower Garden. It didn¡¯t even have as much as the Purple Smoke Lake.


    However, no one would dare to underestimate it.


    According to the ancient records, the Heart Healing Palace had only ever released a few fortunes in the past, but these few fortunes it gave were heaven-defying.


    In one of them, a genius sat on an old tree next to the Heart Healing Palace and entered a mystic state that was far better than the Illusion God Wine. After that, the genius comprehended a Heaven ranked skill and managed to condense a unique King intent that made him unparalleled against those in the same generation. A couple years later, he became a true King.


    Within the Heart Healing Palace, five or six geniuses gathered together next to a small lake.


    ¡°What a terrifying aura. What is-?¡±


    These geniuses were staring at a slightly smelly pond covered by rotting leaves.


    The pond was extremely deep, and there was a pressure emanating from the pond that made their states of existence and bloodlines tremble.


    These geniuses started to move toward it, but they faced a powerful pressure with each step.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    When the geniuses entered within ten yards of the pond, they became unstable.


    Weng~


    A glow of golden blood suddenly lit up within the pond.


    Plop! Plop!


    The two nearest geniuses felt their legs buckle as they fell to their knees.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!!¡±


    All the geniuses had bright red faces, and they felt as if their hearts were about to explode.


    A flaming, golden drop blood started to appear on the surface of the pond.


    ¡°A drop of blood!¡±


    The five or six geniuses present were unable to withstand the pressure. They all knelt down as if they were kneeling to a god.


    Wah! Wah!


    Two of them spat out blood and died.


    ¡°Could it be¡­ blood from the Demigod?¡±


    ¡°A Demigod¡¯s blood!¡±


    The small drop of blood contained a power that exceeded a King.


    Crack!


    The heart of another genius exploded.


    ¡°Re- retreat!¡±


    ¡°Even though the owner of the drop of blood has already died, the power contained within is still enough to kill anyone.¡±


    Blood leaked out from the remaining geniuses¡¯ ears, mouths, and eyes as they scrambled and ran away.


    ¡°Heart Healing Palace¡­ Demigod¡¯s blood?¡±


    The Eye of Heaven appeared in the air above the pond, but even the Eye of Heaven that contained King intent shook when it looked at the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    ¡°Run!¡±


    The Eye of Heaven disappeared from the air above the Heart Healing Palace.


    In the underground cellar of the Demigod:


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath with a relieved expression.


    With his current soul-strength and King intent, he could manage to use the Eye of Heaven for quite a long time.


    In just ten or twenty breaths Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze had travelled across the most important areas of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    However, he didn¡¯t realize that there were a few faint purple hairs amongst his blue hair.

 655 Leader

    In the Demigod¡¯s underground wine cellar, Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company looked at Zhao Feng with complex feelings.


    In just a short amount of time, they witnessed Zhao Feng form half-step King intent even though he wasn¡¯t even at the Great Origin Core Realm yet, and he already showed signs of forming the Magnificent Power of a King.


    In addition, the miracle of that genius from several thousand years ago had been replicated by Zhao Feng.


    From the Purple Scaled Grass to the mermaid tears, then to the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine, Zhao Feng had grasped every fortune of the Purple Smoke Lake.


    More importantly, he didn¡¯t rely on luck.


    Back then, the genius had relied on luck to obtain the Illusion God Wine and the Immortal Springs Wine. However, Zhao Feng had planned everything out and kept everything under his control.


    ¡°I¡¯ve succeeded in conquering the Purple Smoke Lake.¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely satisfied.


    He had read through the Demigod Forgotten Garden¡¯s information before, so he knew that the Purple Smoke Lake was the most suitable for him.


    It could be said that over ninety percent of the most important fortunes of the lake had been obtained by Zhao Feng.


    _If I didn¡¯t have the mermaid tears cleansing my soul and purifying it, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to comprehend King intent so quickly._


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. A lot of factors had contributed to his success, including: the mermaid tears, the Illusion God Wine, the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    From that, one could see that the birth of any King relied on fortune.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the lake had expanded to ninety-six yards, and it was approaching the hundred-yard mark.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly realized that there was a faint purple in the center of his left eye, and this shook his heart.


    Instinct told him that, as long as the lake expanded past a hundred yards, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye would evolve again.


    ¡°Once the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye evolves, I might fall asleep like in the past.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    That meant that it wasn¡¯t good for him to strengthen his soul right now.


    The Demigod Forgotten Garden was filled with danger, and it was only open for half a month.


    Comprehending the King intent and maintaining it in conjunction with the Eye of Heaven had strengthened his soul.


    Thinking up to there, Zhao Feng started to circulate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Divine Sense split into seventy or eighty thoughts. It was starting to approach the One Thought into a Hundred level.


    After sitting down for a while, Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something. An ancient bow suddenly appeared in his hand.


    The bow was dark silver, and it had mysterious carvings on it that glittered with a cold metallic light.


    The instant it appeared, a shocking pressure emanated from it that filled the air with sharpness.


    The hearts of all the Core disciples present shook, and their weapons started to tremble in fear of this weapon.


    ¡°That bow¡­!¡±


    Chen Yilin and company weren¡¯t even able to look at the bow directly, and they felt as if there was a large pressure on them.


    Even Zhao Feng felt that the bow was heavy. His half-step King intent also shook slightly.


    ¡°Sky Locking Bow!¡± Chen Yilin couldn¡¯t help but exclaim. ¡°Isn¡¯t that one of the sacred weapons from the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower!?¡±


    Jiang Fan and company were stunned speechless.


    The Sky Locking Bow was an extremely famous inheritance sacred weapon even amongst the entire Cang Ocean.


    In this world, almost every inheritance sacred weapon had been refined by a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord.


    ¡°Normal inheritance sacred weapons are at least at the peak Earth-Grade, and they might even be at the Heaven-Grade.¡±


    Waves roared through Chen Yilin and company¡¯s hearts. Zhao Feng had always stayed in the Demigod¡¯s wine cellar. How could he have obtained the Sky Locking Bow?


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng quickly put the Sky Locking Bow away.


    His current strength was probably not enough to use the Sky Locking Bow. Besides, he hadn¡¯t fully obtained the Sky Locking Bow¡¯s approval yet, nor had he refined it.


    ¡°Brother Chen, you seem to know this bow?¡±


    Zhao Feng looked over.


    Chen Yilin let out a light breath and tried to maintain his calmness, ¡°Apparently, the Sky Locking Bow is a divine bow that has the ability to break through space and even lock on to one¡¯s soul. The legends say that, when one is locked on to by the Sky Locking Bow, merging into Heaven and Earth or hiding in space will do nothing.¡±


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take a cold breath.


    ¡°When one is locked on to by the Sky Locking Bow, it can¡¯t be dodged?¡±


    That sounded absolutely stunning.


    ¡°¡­but apparently, one of the requirements is that the user must have a strong Soul talent and be talented in the laws of Space or have a unique eye-bloodline.¡±


    Chen Yilin continued.


    Hearing up to there, Zhao Feng started to think.


    The Sky Locking Bow must have had its reasons to choose him.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline was mostly Soul-based, and it had abilities like Spatial Movement and the Eye of Heaven. It was indeed suitable for the Sky Locking Bow.


    Of course, it would be hard for Zhao Feng to control this inheritance sacred weapon right away. He needed to inspect it further after exiting the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Half the time it took to make tea later, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul power was slowly recovering.


    After comprehending King intent, his soul power and recovery speed were much faster.


    ¡°Everyone, I shall be leaving the Purple Smoke Lake now.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood up and said.


    He had used the Eye of Heaven earlier to gaze down upon the entire Demigod Forgotten Garden, and he had understood much.


    _The next target will be the Heart Healing Palace._


    Zhao Feng thought.


    The blood of a Demigod had appeared in the Heart Healing Palace.


    One had to know that the owner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden had half a foot stepped into the domain of Gods. A drop of a Demigod¡¯s blood contained immeasurable divine power, and it was better than any resource. Even Kings and Emperors would want it.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, why are you leaving in such a rush?¡±


    Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan¡¯s expression changed.


    They didn¡¯t want to leave the Demigod¡¯s underground wine cellar. The Illusion God Wine was too attractive, and they couldn¡¯t leave Zhao Feng.


    _Zhao Feng¡¯s controlling the Mermaid Princess. Once he leaves, we won¡¯t be able to stay either._


    Their hearts were clear.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you¡¯ve already comprehended the basis of King intent and formed half-step King intent. Is it possible for you to help us obtain some Illusion God Wine?¡±


    Chen Yilin asked.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as he started to think.


    The cup containing the Illusion God Wine in the cabinet had disappeared, but there would be the occasional bit of Illusion God Wine flowing elsewhere.


    Zhao Feng finally spoke as Chen Yilin and company looked at him nervously, ¡°I can help, but you also need to help me with something.¡±


    ¡°Brother Zhao, what is it?¡±


    Chen Yilin and company perked up. They were only scared that Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t agree.


    ¡°You need to help me fight a strong foe together after leaving the Mermaid Divine Palace.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    _Strong foe?_


    Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan looked at each other with surprise. Who could it be for Zhao Feng, who had comprehended King intent, to call a strong foe?


    _Could it be the Mermaid King?_


    ¡°It¡¯s not the Mermaid King.¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately said.


    Shua!


    With just a thought, Zhao Feng made the faint image of a warm youth appear.


    ¡°It¡¯s him.¡±


    Chen Yilin and company had a slight impression of Wen Luoan. After all, he had reached the Great Origin Core Realm, and people already guessed that his strength was at the level of the top ten geniuses before the Demigod Forgotten Garden even opened.


    ¡°We come from the same clan; fighting a strong foe together is our duty.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯ll give it our all.¡±


    Everyone nodded their heads.


    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly. If Chen Yilin and company were willing to help him, then giving them a bit of Illusion God Wine to increase their strength was reasonable.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s help, the group obtained three more cups¡¯ worth of Illusion God Wine. Zhao Feng left one for himself while giving the other two cups to the others.


    The Demigod¡¯s cellar could only create a certain amount of Illusion God Wine every day, and when the limit was reached, one would need to wait another day.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother Zhao.¡±


    Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan expressed their gratitude, and they were extremely excited.


    The two sighed as they thought about the past. Thinking back to when they first met Zhao Feng, they thought that they wouldn¡¯t ever interact with him in the future, and now Zhao Feng was helping them obtain the Illusion God Wine.


    To a certain extent, the Illusion God Wine could change their fate within a hundred years.


    Chen Yilin and Jiang Fan shared one cup while the rest shared the one other cup.


    A cup had around three or four gulps.


    Zhao Feng was also watching as they drank the Illusion God Wine. He wanted to see how much of an effect the Illusion God Wine had on them.


    Zhao Feng guessed that, since Chen Yilin¡¯s soul and intent were stronger, his chances of comprehending King intent were high. Chen Yilin also had the highest cultivation.


    As expected, a King intent soon surged from Chen Yilin.


    Of course, the effect of the Illusion God Wine was much weaker than when Zhao Feng used it. Chen Yilin had to take two sips to comprehend King intent.


    A half-step King intent started to condense on Chen Yilin¡¯s body, but it wasn¡¯t even half as strong as Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    ¡°Congratulations, Brother Chen.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised as he congratulated.


    ¡°I¡¯ve only barely managed to touch King intent over the past year. I didn¡¯t expect to form half-step King intent today.¡±


    Chen Yilin¡¯s face was filled with joy and gratitude.


    If he didn¡¯t have the Illusion God Wine, it would¡¯ve taken him more than ten years to form half-step King intent. However, after using the mermaid tears and the Illusion God Wine on his foundation, he was luckily able to condense half-step King intent.


    Apart from Chen Yilin, all the remaining Core disciples had managed to barely comprehend King intent, but they couldn¡¯t form it yet.


    Amongst them, Jiang Fan¡¯s mental energy level had reached the Great Origin Core Realm, but he was still a bit far away from half-step King intent.


    Their attributes all rose, and Zhao Feng nodded his head. The strength of this group had increased.


    Jiang Fan¡¯s strength was probably enough to step into the list of top ten geniuses, and Chen Yilin¡¯s ranking amongst the top ten should probably go up a bit.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, we shall follow you.¡±


    Chen Yilin said solemnly.

 656 Demigod’s Blood

    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength and methods had won everyone¡¯s respect and gratitude. If there was no Zhao Feng, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to enter the Mermaid Kingdom and obtain so many rewards.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±


    Zhao Feng made the Mermaid Princess lead the way at the front.


    After returning to the first floor of the Mermaid Divine Palace, Zhao Feng inspected himself, and he saw that his cultivation had reached the peak Small Origin Core Realm. He was almost at the Sovereign Lord rank, which was mainly due to the Immortal Springs Wine and the King intent¡¯s effect.


    Jiang Fan¡¯s cultivation had also increased, and he was almost at the peak Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Human!¡±


    A Magnificent Power condensed near the entrance of the Mermaid Divine Palace.


    Everyone apart from Zhao Feng, Chen Yilin, and Jiang Fan felt as if they had been restricted, and they were unable to move.


    ¡°Mermaid King, I won¡¯t take your daughter away, but you need to ensure our safety before we exit the territory of the Mermaid Kingdom.¡±


    Zhao Feng said as he ordered the Mermaid Princess to stay near the Mermaid Divine Palace.


    ¡°Master¡­.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess¡¯s eyes were filled with love and unwillingness. This was no longer just the effect of the Dark Heart Seal, but a type of love. Females always admired experts, and this was especially so for the Mermaid Princess.


    ¡°Lord Father, please let me leave with Master.¡±


    The Mermaid Princess begged. There was no male in the Mermaid Kingdom that caught her eye.


    ¡°You¡­!¡±


    The Mermaid King floated above the Divine Palace, and he was extremely furious.


    He glared at Zhao Feng with a complex and helpless expression.


    This human had enslaved the Mermaid Princess in both body and heart.


    At this instant, even if Zhao Feng dissolved the Dark Heart Seal, it might not be able to remove the Mermaid Princess¡¯s love.


    _Unfortunately, he¡¯s a human._


    The Mermaid King extremely admired Zhao Feng¡¯s talent, strength, and abilities.


    Zhao Feng looked at the Mermaid Princess and shook his head, ¡°I can¡¯t take you. I will dissolve the Dark Heart Seal when I leave the Purple Smoke Lake.¡±


    ¡°Why!!?¡± The Mermaid Princess was extremely sad, ¡°In terms of looks, I¡¯m not below the peerless beauties of the human race. My Soul talent complements yours, and once a mermaid becomes a King, they can create the body of a human.¡±


    ¡°I already have a wife.¡±


    Zhao Feng said before leaving with Chen Yilin and company.


    Hearing that, the Mermaid Princess¡¯s heart trembled. She could do nothing about Zhao Feng already having a wife.


    ¡°Fei¡¯er.¡±


    The Mermaid King sighed as he put a hand on his daughter¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°Hmph, once I break through that soul-restricting technique, I¡¯ll capture that brat and make him your toy.¡±


    The Mermaid King snickered coldly.


    Mermaids all specialized in the soul, especially the imperial Mermaids. Furthermore, the Mermaid King was a Void God Realm King.


    However, when his Divine Sense entered his daughter¡¯s heart, his expression changed dramatically. Even he, a Void God Realm, could do nothing about the Dark Heart Seal that Zhao Feng had set without spending a great deal of time and effort.


    The Dark Heart Seal came from the Emperor of Death¡¯s Dark Eye Secret Manual. Normal Kings could only look up to it.


    On the surface of the lake:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s army around the edges of the Mermaid Kingdom started to gather.


    Tentacled water monsters, ancient crocodiles¡­ powerful beasts one after another pushed forward.


    Chen Yilin and company stood on the back of these beasts, and every other beast that saw them moved away.


    Zhao Feng and Chen Yilin had both formed half-step King intent, which was already enough to scare most beasts away.


    Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back as he gazed into the distance.


    More than a dozen miles away, the expression of a warm youth standing on the surface changed slightly.


    As Zhao Feng¡¯s army approached:


    ¡°The strength of Zhao Feng and the group from the Mystic True Sacred Clan has greatly increased, and one of them is even someone with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.¡±


    Wen Luoan¡¯s expression started to become slightly solemn.


    He originally thought that, even if Zhao Feng and company could leave the Mermaid Kingdom, they would have heavy casualties and become weaker. However, on the contrary, their strength was even greater than before.


    Apart from that, the Mermaid King¡¯s Divine Sense was also scanning through the air.


    ¡°If I want to kill Zhao Feng, I would need to face an entire army, and there¡¯s still a King hiding in the back.¡±


    Wen Luoan¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    Even if the Mermaid King did nothing, he wasn¡¯t absolutely confident.


    ¡°There¡¯s only a 70% chance¡­ now isn¡¯t the best time to kill him. If one or two people escape, the entire upper echelon of the Mystic True Sacred Clan will pursue me after the Demigod Forgotten Garden closes.¡±


    The warm youth sighed after deep analysis.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash, he flew into the air. Due to many reasons, he decided to give up this time.


    ¡°So fast! That Wen Luoan can actually fly in here!?¡±


    Zhao Feng was shocked.


    The speed that Wen Luoan displayed easily surpassed Zhao Feng¡¯s basic speed.


    Even Chen Yilin wasn¡¯t able to truly fly in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    ¡°Wen Luoan¡¯s not going to attack. He¡¯s probably wary of the Mermaid King, Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and the army.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. Instinct told him that Wen Luoan was a powerful foe that would bring great danger to him.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng and company left the Purple Smoke Lake.


    ¡°Dissolve.¡±


    With a thought, Zhao Feng used the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and dissolved the Dark Heart Seal on the Mermaid Princess.


    At the same time, the Mermaid Princess in front of the Mermaid Divine Palace reacted and looked toward a certain direction with puzzlement and unwillingness.


    ¡°At least that human keeps his promises.¡±


    The Mermaid King let out a breath.


    He didn¡¯t go and pursue Zhao Feng. Instead, he had stayed behind to check on his daughter.


    Furthermore, mermaids were only used to the water of the Purple Smoke Lake, and they weren¡¯t allowed to enter other areas of the Demigod Forgotten Garden or else they would face the suppression of the Demigod intent.


    At the shores of the Purple Smoke Lake:


    ¡°Brother Zhao, where are we going next?¡±


    A Core disciple said somewhat energetically.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s strength and methods made them willing to obey. They believed that, if they followed Zhao Feng, there would be some good rewards.


    ¡°Heart Healing Palace.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    _Heart Healing Palace?_


    Chen Yilin and company were slightly surprised. They originally thought that Zhao Feng would go to the Hundred Flower Garden or the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace. After all, the strength that Zhao Feng displayed was enough on its own, and he could control powerful beasts on top of that.


    He didn¡¯t have much of an advantage in the Heart Healing Palace.


    ¡°You can choose to follow me or leave. What you get afterwards depends on your ability.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked toward the group.


    He had already obtained enough rewards in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. What attracted him most right now was the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Chen Yilin and company thought for a while.


    If they followed Zhao Feng, what they would get would depend on their ability, and it was extremely hard to obtain anything from the Heart Healing Palace.


    In the end, they decided to go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace and fight for some treasures.


    There were a few precious and rare treasures in the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace that could change one¡¯s destiny, which might be worth even more than the Illusion God Wine.


    ¡°I wish you all the best.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. He said goodbye to Chen Yilin and company.


    Ever since he had entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden, he had the intention of being a loner.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure started to speed toward the Heart Healing Palace.


    The pressure from the Demigod Forgotten Garden was extremely strong, so his speed was greatly reduced.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng started to close in on the Heart Healing Palace.


    On the way, he saw a few ruffled figures.


    Zhao Feng sat on a two-headed flaming horse, and behind him were two slim and agile ¡°dragonfly-humans¡± who were floating in the air.


    The two-headed flaming horse and the two dragonflymen were newly enslaved by Zhao Feng.


    The strength of the three creatures was close to the half-step King level, and they weren¡¯t big in size. They were also extremely agile and quick.


    When other geniuses saw Zhao Feng¡¯s steed and the two dragonflymen slaves, they all took a detour out of fear.


    ¡°Heart Healing Palace.¡±


    When Zhao Feng arrived, he realized that quite a few people had gathered here.


    Plop!


    A ruffled genius with a pale face rolled out of the Heart Healing Palace.


    ¡°The power of the Demigod¡¯s blood is way too terrifying.¡±


    ¡°No one¡¯s been able to enter a radius of ten yards of the blood.¡±


    Groups of geniuses outside the Heart Healing Palace discussed.


    Several powerful auras suddenly appeared and made them all go quiet.


    ¡°Who¡¯s that person? He¡¯s managed to enslave the rare dragonflymen.¡±


    ¡°Dragonflymen are extremely agile and quick. They have the elements of Wind and Poison.¡±


    Many geniuses were instantly wary.


    ¡°So, it¡¯s him.¡±


    There was a few who recognized Zhao Feng¡¯s identity since there were disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan here.


    Everyone silently created a path, and Zhao Feng headed straight into the Heart Healing Palace toward the pond as if he already knew the way.


    Zhao Feng soon reached the pond where the Demigod¡¯s blood was located.


    Several powerful geniuses stood around the pond.


    These geniuses of the Sacred Land were able to withstand the pressure of the Demigod¡¯s blood and were slowly closing in on it.


    _Demigod¡¯s blood!_


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze locked on to the drop of transparent golden blood that was about the size of a pinky nail.


    As expected, when Zhao Feng got closer, his body started to feel an immeasurable pressure.


    This pressure had exceeded the Void God Realm. The power radiating from this drop of blood could crush living things into powder.


    _Just a drop of blood is already so strong? If I can refine it, it¡¯ll be of great help to my bloodline, body, and cultivation._


    Zhao Feng was secretly stunned. Even Kings and Emperors wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    _How can I obtain it?_


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    Using Spatial Movement was impossible.


    Not only did this drop of Demigod¡¯s blood contain a strong pressure, it also had a mysterious connection with the Demigod intent.


    The Demigod¡¯s blood contained the power of a Demigod, which repelled other forces like the laws of Space.


    Zhao Feng was sure that obtaining this drop of blood was ten times or even a hundred times harder than getting the Illusion God Wine.


    When Zhao Feng was almost at the ten-yard mark, his every step became extremely slow as he had to face the pressure of the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    The closer he was, the more divine power he could feel from the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Suddenly, a scream came from nearby.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    The body of a peak Small Origin Core Realm male with an unusual bloodline exploded from the Demigod¡¯s blood when he stepped within ten yards.


    Boom!


    The large shockwave sent blood and flesh flying everywhere. The nearby geniuses¡¯ hearts went cold and their faces turned pale.

 657 Number One Genius of the Lightning Dao

    The horrible death of that genius made the nearby people go cold.


    ¡°Inside ten yards is the forbidden zone. Once someone enters that range, the pressure from the Demigod¡¯s blood will increase by several times.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    The other geniuses had also realized that.


    Normal geniuses were able to withstand the pressure outside ten yards. Everyone that died did so mainly because they had entered within ten yards.


    ¡°If the pressure within ten yards is already so strong, then the pressure at five yards, three yards, one yard, and right next to the Demigod¡¯s blood would be¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t imagine how powerful the pressure would become.


    He started to think as he communicated with the little thieving cat on his shoulder.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws, signaling that it could do nothing, then jumped into the ancient metal ring.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. Even Kings probably wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand such huge pressure from the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    ¡°Demigod¡¯s blood, I¡¯m coming.¡±


    A cold voice sounded from far away.


    Shua!


    A dark-skinned male with a pair of black wings behind his back flashed through the air.


    ¡°Mo Tianyu!¡±


    The people around the Heart Healing Palace gave way.


    The dark-skinned male¡¯s cultivation had reached the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm, and he had a pair of extremely unique demonic bloodline that gave him a pair of wings. As he approached, there was an air of evil that made the people nearby unable to breathe.


    __


    _Mo Tianyu, one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land. He comes from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan._


    Information regarding the newcomer appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    There were almost three hundred geniuses that entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden, but everyone knew about the top ten geniuses.


    ¡°Wasn¡¯t Mo Tianyu at the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm? It¡¯s only been a couple days, and yet his bloodline and cultivation have already increased dramatically.¡±


    The nearby geniuses revealed respectful expressions, whereas those from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan revealed looks of joy.


    The Demigod Forgotten Garden was full of fortune, and Mo Tianyu¡¯s unique demonic wing bloodline gave him the ability to fly, thus he was able to obtain more.


    Shua!


    The black wings fluttered gently above the heads of Zhao Feng and the other geniuses as Mo Tianyu landed near the pond.


    ¡°The ten-yard forbidden zone!¡±


    Many geniuses held their breaths, and their hearts skipped a beat.


    Mo Tianyu just jumped directly into the radius of ten yards and was still unharmed.


    _As expected of one of the top ten geniuses; each of them have unusual bloodlines, and they are extremely strong._


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    Mo Tianyu¡¯s strength had increased dramatically after entering the Demigod Forgotten Garden. One or two normal half-step Kings wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat him.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ Demigod¡¯s blood! Luckily, I came quickly!¡±


    Mo Tianyu¡¯s expression was smug.


    None of the other top ten geniuses were present, and he had signs of suppressing everyone here.


    At this moment, the news of the Demigod¡¯s blood was still spreading across the entire Demigod Forgotten Garden but many were still on their way.


    Mo Tianyu¡¯s unique bloodline power gave him extremely quick speed even amongst the top ten geniuses.


    Currently, the only one to have entered the ten-yard boundary was him.


    His gaze swept across the area, and he didn¡¯t find any strong people.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Mo Tianyu paused slightly as his eyes landed on the two dragonflymen behind Zhao Feng.


    Dragonflymen were quick and agile. Mo Tianyu knew how troublesome they were. He didn¡¯t expect someone to be able to enslave two of them.


    ¡°Hmph, his cultivation isn¡¯t even at the Great Origin Core Realm. One needs to rely on their bloodline and cultivation to resist the pressure from the Demigod¡¯s blood, mental energy isn¡¯t useful here.¡±


    Mo Tianyu took back his gaze. He didn¡¯t put Zhao Feng in his eyes. There was no one worthy of being his opponent in the Heart Healing Palace yet.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take the Demigod¡¯s blood before Nan Gongsheng, Meng Xi, and the other troublesome people that aren¡¯t here yet.¡±


    Mo Tianyu¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    He took a deep breath and started to circulate his power in order to strengthen his body and defense.


    Grrrrr!


    Mo Tianyu started to step forward slowly as he moved further toward the pond.


    The pressure he faced would increase with every step, and even he felt it was troublesome.


    ¡°Mo Tianyu is the first person to enter the ten-yard boundary safely.¡±


    The geniuses surrounding the pond were envious and unresigned. The closer they were to the Demigod¡¯s blood, the higher their chance of obtaining it.


    ¡°I need to increase my speed. The Demigod¡¯s blood shall be mine!¡±


    Mo Tianyu was extremely excited.


    The blood of a Demigod was blood that was nearly divine. It would change the life of even experts. Even Kings and Emperors would go crazy for it.


    ¡°Ten yards!¡±


    At this moment, a blue-haired youth entered the ten-yard forbidden zone.


    ¡°It¡¯s him¡­!¡±


    When the people saw who it was, they were extremely surprised.


    The second person to enter within ten yards was Zhao Feng.


    _The closer one is to the Demigod¡¯s blood, the stronger the pressure. Furthermore, who knows what kind of offensive capabilities it might have._


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t dare to go too far out of caution. In reality, the power from the ten-yard zone wasn¡¯t that strong. The pressure in the Ancient Dream Realm was far more powerful.


    ¡°That brat¡­.¡±


    Mo Tianyu¡¯s expression changed when he noticed Zhao Feng.


    He didn¡¯t expect a brat at the peak Small Origin Core Realm to enter the ten-yard zone, and it seemed as if Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t even finding the pressure very strong.


    Bloodline, body, and cultivation were the three factors determining how far one could move here.


    If one had a superior bloodline, they had an advantage, and if one¡¯s body was strong enough, they could also withstand it. On the other hand, those with higher cultivation were simply able to withstand more force. For example, if it were Emperor Duanmu here, he would be able to obtain the Demigod¡¯s blood easily.


    ¡°Fuck off, brat!¡±


    Mo Tianyu licked his lips and glared at Zhao Feng. He tried to use his strength and fame to suppress Zhao Feng, but how would Zhao Feng fall for that?


    He acted as if he didn¡¯t see anything at all as he maintained a certain distance with Mo Tianyu.


    Mo Tianyu was on the opposite side. One¡¯s attack would be heavily restricted due to the pressure from the Demigod¡¯s blood, and who knew what kind of reaction the Demigod¡¯s blood might have?


    ¡°Brother Mo, that brat named Zhao controlled an army in the Purple Smoke Lake and defeated Brother Tu¡­.¡±


    A disciple of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan warned.


    The Demigod Forgotten Garden was a big place, but news had started to spread.


    ¡°What? He defeated Brother Tu?¡±


    Hearing that, Mo Tianyu was in disbelief. Before he entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden, his own strength was slightly weaker than Tu Jiuseng¡¯s, although he might be stronger now that he had obtained some fortune.


    At this moment:


    Whoosh!


    A five-colored figure flew through the air.


    ¡°What a weird power of Lightning.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt his Wind Lightning True Yuan stirring. Without even looking, he knew the newcomer¡¯s identity.


    ¡°Lei Zhen, one of the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land!¡±


    ¡°This is going to get rowdy now. Another expert of the top ten geniuses has appeared.¡±


    ¡°Lei Zhen comes from the Ten Thousand Lightning Clan. He¡¯s the number one genius of the Lightning Dao.¡±


    The geniuses all looked over.


    There were many people in the Heart Healing Palace watching and hoping to obtain the Demigod¡¯s blood by luck. After all, a small number of geniuses in the past had obtained heaven-defying fortunes even if they weren¡¯t very strong, so luck was definitely a factor.


    Shua!


    Lei Zhen landed near the pond between eight and nine yards, even closer than Mo Tianyu.


    ¡°Demigod¡¯s blood! This is probably the Demigod¡¯s blood essence or else it wouldn¡¯t have been able to last this long and still contain so much force.¡±


    Lei Zhen¡¯s face went slightly red when he landed. He immediately circulated his five-colored lightning and seemed like a God of Lightning.


    ¡°Demigod¡¯s blood essence?¡±


    The eyes of the nearby geniuses became even more fiery.


    A drop of blood essence contained the Demigod¡¯s life essence, and it was more than a hundred times better than a normal drop of blood.


    ¡°If I can absorb this Demigod¡¯s blood essence, my state of existence will improve dramatically and obtain the potential to reach the level of a King or an Emperor.¡±


    Everyone¡¯s hearts sped up.


    The blood essence of a Demigod was definitely a great item for Kings and Emperors. It would probably even benefit normal Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    Within the ten-yard forbidden zone:


    Ta! Ta! Ta!


    Mo Tianyu, Lei Zhen, and Zhao Feng slowly walked forward. Zhao Feng was slightly behind the other two.


    _No one knows what will happen if someone truly gets close to the blood essence._


    Zhao Feng was extremely cautious.


    If the blood essence of the Demigod unleashed an attack, even true Kings wouldn¡¯t be able to retreat unharmed.


    ¡°It¡¯s that brat.¡±


    Lei Zhen saw Zhao Feng from the corner of his eye.


    Zhao Feng was far away from Mo Tianyu, but closer to Lei Zhen.


    ¡°Piss off!¡±


    Lei Zhen snickered coldly. How could he feel safe having his back open to a competitor?


    Pa!


    Lei Zhen sent a five-colored claw of lightning toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng obviously wouldn¡¯t do nothing. He sent an ancient purple lightning claw toward the five-colored lightning claw.


    __


    _Purple Destruction Wind Lightning Claw!_


    Boom!


    A loud explosion sounded, and shockwaves spread across more than a dozen yards. Even the demonic black wings around Mo Tianyu were weakened.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure shook slightly as a faint five-colored lightning extended into his body.


    Shu!


    Zhao Feng circulated his defensive bloodline, and dark purple scales appeared on his body until the five-colored lightning faded.


    However, he still felt numb. His defensive Water bloodline was obviously related to the element of Water, which conducted lightning.


    On the other hand, when the arcs of Purple Destruction Wind Lightning landed on Lei Zhen, he didn¡¯t even evade.


    ¡°Hahaha, your strength isn¡¯t bad¡­.¡±


    Lei Zhen took the blow of lightning head-on and easily absorbed it.


    ¡°He¡¯s absorbing the lightning!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed. He realized that his Wind Lightning inheritance had met its nemesis.


    Lei Zhen had an ancient Lightning spiritual bloodline, and he was the number one genius of the Lightning Dao. His Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique was the Cang Ocean¡¯s oldest Lightning technique.


    Even the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s talent in Lightning wasn¡¯t as high as Lei Zhen¡¯s, and he wasn¡¯t able to cultivate the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique, forcing him to create his own Dao and comprehend the Wind Lightning Dao.

 658 Beast King

    ¡°Brat, your mastery of the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance will only tickle me.¡±


    Lei Zhen acted as if victory was already his.


    He had an ancient Lightning spiritual bloodline that was extremely resilient toward Lightning attacks, and it could even absorb them. The Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique was like adding wings to a tiger.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng¡¯s defensive Water bloodline wasn¡¯t very effective against Lightning attacks.


    ¡°Heaven Earth Lightning Quake!¡±


    Ancient arcs of lightning extended from Lei Zhen¡¯s feet toward Zhao Feng.


    His Lightning attacks can not only flow into water, they can also be directed through the air.


    Zhao Feng felt a numbing sensation before the attack even arrived.


    ¡°Purple Wind Lightning Ring!¡±


    Waves of shining purple Wind Lightning surged from Zhao Feng and clashed with Lei Zhen¡¯s attack


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The two forces of Lightning interacted.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning attack was extremely fast, whereas Lei Zhen¡¯s lightning contained the five elements, allowing it to attack and defend at the same time.


    The Heaven Earth Lightning Quake was like Mount Tai; it was extremely stable, and it seemed to become one with the earth.


    Even though Lei Zhen hadn¡¯t comprehended King intent yet, the intent in his attacks had already reached such a level to a certain degree.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure paused slightly, and his feet became numb as he blocked Lei Zhen¡¯s attack. Lei Zhen was unharmed, and he easily absorbed Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks with a pleasurable expression.


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn now.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered as a faint scarlet aura appeared in his purple-colored lightning.


    Go!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, and the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning containing a wisp of scarlet shot out.


    Boom!


    The five-colored lightning around Lei Zhen¡¯s body took the hit head-on.


    Lei Zhen wasn¡¯t as casual this time. The scarlet-colored Wind Lightning contained a flaming power of Destruction that continued to erode his body.


    ¡°You actually managed to comprehend a wisp of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning¡­.¡±


    Lei Zhen¡¯s expression changed slightly.


    Not only did the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning increase the power of Destruction, it also contained a flaming effect that lasted for quite a while.


    Simply put, after getting hit by the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, one would be continuously damaged for some time.


    ¡°Five Elements Water Lightning!¡±


    The lightning around Lei Zhen suddenly turned deep blue and countered the burning sensation.


    At this moment, the expressions of both Lightning Dao geniuses were slightly solemn.


    Lei Zhen obviously didn¡¯t expect Zhao Feng to comprehend a bit of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    I¡¯ve only just managed to comprehend a bit of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning. I can¡¯t take him down yet¡­.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was cold, but his eyes glittered.


    ¡°That brat¡¯s battle-power is pretty strong. He hasn¡¯t lost even after facing Lei Zhen.¡±


    The geniuses nearby started to discuss.


    Lei Zhen¡¯s expression turned back to normal as mockery appeared on his face, ¡°Brat, I haven¡¯t even used the full power of the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique yet.¡±


    Although he was acting as if victory was already his, Lei Zhen was still wary.


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning from the Wind Lightning inheritance were extremely troublesome.


    His Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique was about the balance between offense and defense, whereas Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning Inheritance was about extreme speed and offense.


    ¡°Hehe. Is that so?¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly as his expression went dim.


    Boom!


    A powerful intent descended within the soul-dimension and showed signs of forming a Magnificent Power.


    ¡°What!?¡±


    Lei Zhen¡¯s body froze as his consciousness was suppressed by that intent.


    ¡°Half-step King intent!¡±


    ¡°Magnificent power of a King! How is that possible!?¡±


    Even Mo Tianyu cried out in shock.


    Bam!


    Wind howled and thunder boomed in the air above, and the souls of the people nearby began to tremble uneasily.


    The half-step King intent seemed to become one with Heaven and Earth, and the power radiating from it made Lei Zhen¡¯s body heavy. It was as if he was under a mountain, and he was unable to breathe.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t just normal half-step King intent¡­.¡±


    Lei Zhen¡¯s face went red.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning attacks became far stronger when he used his half-step King intent.


    The people were dead-silent.


    Some even thought that one of the other top ten geniuses had descended.


    Cold sweat started to appear on Lei Zhen¡¯s forehead as his soul was being suppressed. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he had a unique bloodline and stunning battle-power that exceeded normal half-step Kings, he probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to resist at all.


    ¡°This half-step King intent already has signs of forming Magnificent Power. How did he do this? Could it be the Illusion God Wine¡­?¡±


    Mo Tianyu started to sweat coldly, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel lucky that he didn¡¯t attack Zhao Feng.


    One breath¡­ two breaths¡­ three breaths.


    The half-step King intent suppressed Lei Zhen¡¯s body and heart.


    Shua!


    The half-step King intent disappeared after three breaths.


    Hu~


    Lei Zhen and the other geniuses all let out a long breath as Zhao Feng stood motionless. He felt various respectful and wary gazes on him.


    ¡°I heard that this Zhao Feng ruled the entire Purple Smoke Lake, defeated Tu Jiuseng, and entered the Mermaid Kingdom.¡±


    ¡°It seems that he¡¯s most likely obtained the Illusion God Wine, which allowed him to comprehend half-step King intent.¡±


    ¡°Illusion God Wine? The Mermaid Kingdom has a King holding down the fort. How did he do it?¡±


    The geniuses present discussed.


    Of course, it didn¡¯t matter how he had formed half-step King intent. All that mattered was that he had, and his half-step King intent was even stronger than the norm.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao!¡±


    ¡°Half-step King intent¡­!¡±


    Another few figures entered the Heart Healing Palace.


    One could sense the aura of half-step King intent and its Magnificent Power from far away.


    The newcomers were all Mystic True Sacred Clan disciples. Brother Nan and Dong Wenjian were amongst them, and their gazes were filled with shock and disbelief.


    ¡°Brother Dong.¡±


    Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head in return.


    Dong Wenjian and Brother Nan had awkward expressions.


    At the beginning when they had entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t join them in the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, and Brother Nan was angry at that time. However, Zhao Feng had conquered the Purple Smoke Lake alone, obtaining mermaid tears and Illusion God Wine. He had even formed half-step King intent.


    Next to the pond, Zhao Feng¡¯s half-step King intent had shocked everyone, and he now had signs of suppressing the other two.


    The two exchanged glances and decided to face Zhao Feng together.


    ¡°Demigod¡¯s blood! The news was indeed not fake.¡±


    Brother Nan¡¯s figure flashed as he entered the ten-yard zone.


    Another top-ten genius!


    Brother Nan¡¯s strength was on par with the Chen Yilin that hadn¡¯t yet drunk the Illusion God Wine.


    The Demigod¡¯s blood was too attractive, so some disciples at the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace and other nearby geniuses came over when they heard about it.


    The situation was becoming more tense.


    Mo Tianyu, Lei Zhen, Brother Nan, and Zhao Feng all had battle-power equivalent to the top ten geniuses.


    Ta! Ta!


    The four were the stars of the show as they slowly approached the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    However, when they reached five yards, Lei Zhen and Brother Nan both felt extreme pressure.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t feel it, but he pretended to.


    I can¡¯t be the first.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye locked on to the Demigod¡¯s blood, and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye gave him warning signals. The power contained within the Demigod¡¯s blood was probably even more terrifying than he had imagined.


    Furthermore, if he could safely reach the Demigod¡¯s blood, the other top ten geniuses would probably pull something.


    Right at this moment, the aura of Death in Zhao Feng¡¯s soul became stronger.


    Ceng!


    A warm youth arrived at the Heart Healing Palace and landed on a building.


    ¡°Hmm? Demigod¡¯s blood¡­!¡±


    Wen Luoan¡¯s heart jumped. It was a drop of the Demigod¡¯s blood, and blood essence at that.


    ¡°If Master was here, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to resist it¡­.¡±


    Wen Luoan¡¯s heart sped up even faster. If he was able to obtain the Demigod¡¯s blood, his potential and his future might even surpass the Emperor of Death.


    After seeing the Demigod¡¯s blood, anything about pursuit was thrown to the back of his head.


    ¡°The Demigod¡¯s blood will be mine. My bloodline power and my strength will increase dramatically if I get it, and at that time, secretly killing Zhao Feng will be easy.¡±


    Wen Luoan soon had a plan.


    The Demigod¡¯s blood had changed his original plan.


    He still planned to kill Zhao Feng in secret and take his head, but right now, the Demigod¡¯s blood became his top priority.


    Wen Luoan¡¯s also here.


    Zhao Feng was on guard. He still didn¡¯t use his full strength to approach the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    The situation was becoming more complex.


    Mo Tianyu, Lei Zhen, Brother Nan, and Zhao Feng all had their own plans, and they were all on guard. As more and more geniuses from other places gathered at the Heart Healing Palace, the four of them maintained a certain distance at five yards. Every step at this point was extremely difficult on its own, let alone that they were all on guard against each other.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped as he sensed something.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!?¡±


    The warm youth¡¯s gaze looked toward a certain direction in the sky.


    A breath or two later:


    Whoosh!


    A single-horned beast flew through the air.


    Flying! It can fly!


    Apart from some super strong flying birds, most existences in the Demigod Forgotten Garden couldn¡¯t truly fly.


    The next instant, the noble and scorching Magnificent Power of a King radiated from the beast and spread across half the Heart Healing Palace.


    ¡°Magnificent Power of a King!¡±


    ¡°A King-ranked rare ancient beast!¡±


    Everyone within the Heart Healing Palace broke out in fear, and many geniuses were unable to move.


    Once that Magnificent Power truly descended, half the geniuses here would vomit blood.


    ¡°Lalala, it¡¯s better to come at the right time instead of being early.¡±


    The sound of a girl¡¯s voice appeared.


    A young girl with starry eyes stood on the King beast. Her hair was extremely long and was perfectly clean.


    ¡°Meng Xi!¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s actually controlling a King-ranked beast?¡±


    The geniuses present were speechless, and some of them started to tremble. It was hard for them to even talk under the King¡¯s Magnificent Power.


    Within the ten-yard zone, Zhao Feng, Brother Nan, and Lei Zhen felt as if there was a mountain on top of them. Brother Nan and Lei Zhen were unstable after facing both the King¡¯s Magnificent Power and the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    At this instant, Meng Xi had arrived with her beast King.


    Sou!


    Everyone could only watch as Meng Xi landed on the water with the beast King¡¯s protection, right in front of the Demigod¡¯s blood.

 659 Taking a Step Back for now

    The horned beast had purple scales, and it was surrounded by purple lightning and flames. It gave off a Magnificent Power as it descended.


    With the protection of the Magnificent Power of a King, Meng Xi was only half a yard away from the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Around the pond, many geniuses held their breath in shock.


    She was already extremely close, and she had the help of a King beast. No one could stop her now.


    ¡°Is the Demigod¡¯s blood going to land in Meng Xi¡¯s hands?¡±


    Brother Nan and Lei Zhen looked at each other, then gazed toward Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had formed half-step King intent, as well as the aura of Magnificent Power. Maybe he could disrupt Meng Xi.


    As for Mo Tianyu, he also came from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, so he wouldn¡¯t fight with Meng Xi.


    ¡°If the Demigod¡¯s blood is taken by her so easily, then I have nothing to say.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye locked on to Meng Xi and the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    He knew that he wasn¡¯t Meng Xi or the beast King¡¯s match.


    Not only did the Demigod¡¯s blood contain immense power, it also had its own intelligence. If the Demigod¡¯s blood didn¡¯t have its own consciousness, then Zhao Feng would¡¯ve been able to take it away with his Spatial Movement a long time ago.


    As the geniuses watched, Meng Xi slowly closed in on the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    A faint red appeared on her beautiful face, and her breathing rate increased.


    ¡°Blood essence of a Demigod. It contains so much power¡­.¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. She felt extremely troubled even with the help of a King. The repelling force from the Demigod¡¯s blood was stronger with every step she took.


    Weng~


    The Demigod¡¯s blood glittered with a golden light as it sent a wave of pressure in every direction.


    Sand and rocks blew across the entire Heart Healing Palace as a tornado formed.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The nearby geniuses went flying.


    Wah! Wah!


    The closer ones spat out blood.


    Blood leaked from Lei Zhen¡¯s mouth as he retreated several yards. Brother Nan and Mo Tianyu were both pushed back several yards.


    Just as I expected.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body wavered slightly.


    Meng Xi spat out a mouthful of blood even though she had the protection of a King, and her face became bright red.


    Meng Xi¡¯s bloodline is related to the Dao of the Soul, so her physical body isn¡¯t very strong. If it were me, I might have succeeded.


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Reality proved that even a normal King wasn¡¯t able to easily obtain the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Some of the geniuses present let out a breath, but Meng Xi didn¡¯t give up. Amongst everyone, she still had the highest possibility of obtaining the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    ¡°Take!¡±


    With the help of a King, Meng Xi used a suction force on the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    A faint dreamy light enveloped the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Weng~~


    The Demigod¡¯s blood seemed to be alive as it struggled.


    Hu~


    The unicorn beast roared as the air nearby became eroded by purple lightning and flames.


    The two combined to fight the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Boom~~~~~~~~


    The Demigod¡¯s blood sent surging shockwaves throughout the dimension. The geniuses nearby were once again attacked, and they retreated far away.


    ¡°I¡¯ll retreat for now.¡±


    Zhao Feng fought the pressure of the Demigod¡¯s blood as he slowly walked back.


    At the same time, he looked at the warm youth on the rooftop from the corner of his eyes with caution. However, Wen Luoan¡¯s eyes were locked on to the Demigod¡¯s blood, and he didn¡¯t seem to be paying much attention to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let this chick exhaust part of the Demigod¡¯s blood¡¯s power first.¡±


    The warm youth stood with his hands behind his back, and the shockwaves that came in his direction didn¡¯t affect him.


    At this moment, most of the geniuses had retreated far from the ten-yard zone, and no one dared to fight Meng Xi for the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Meng Xi became the main character near the pond.


    ¡°Why isn¡¯t Senior Martial Brother Nan Gongsheng here?¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something and asked Dong Wenjian nearby.


    Nan Gongsheng was ranked first amongst the top ten geniuses of the Sacred Land. If he were here, he might be able to compete with Meng Xi.


    ¡°Brother Nan Gongsheng is still trying to obtain the Qiankun Sword. He should have gotten the news by now.¡±


    Dong Wenjian said.


    People had gone to tell Nan Gongsheng in the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower long ago.


    Currently, only Meng Xi was next to the pond as she tried her best to obtain the Demigod¡¯s blood. She did everything she could, but all that happened was a bit of reduction in the distance between her and the blood.


    ¡°The situation will become very complex if Nan Gongsheng arrives.¡±


    Meng Xi felt impatient.


    Time passed by slowly, and the Demigod¡¯s blood was still struggling.


    The people present all had nervous expressions. After all, the Demigod¡¯s blood was becoming closer and closer to Meng Xi¡¯s hand.


    What kind of method is Meng Xi using to control the beast King?


    Zhao Feng slowly retreated, and his gaze soon landed on the purple-scaled horn in Meng Xi¡¯s other hand.


    So, that¡¯s how.


    Zhao Feng immediately understood. Without outside help, it would be hard for Meng Xi to control a beast King even if she had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t understand how that purple horn was able to control a King in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. After thinking for a long time, there was only one possibility ¨C the horn came from the Demigod Forgotten Garden to begin with, and it was refined in a unique way so that it could control the beast.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, you¡¯re not going to compete anymore?¡±


    Brother Nan and Dong Wenjian didn¡¯t understand why Zhao Feng was retreating further and further away.


    Of the geniuses present, Zhao Feng was the only one that had formed half-step King intent, so he was the one with the greatest chance to stop Meng Xi.


    ¡°I give up on the Demigod¡¯s blood.¡±


    Zhao Feng answered as he retreated further and further away.


    Even if I did somehow obtain the Demigod¡¯s blood by luck, I wouldn¡¯t be able to retreat from the attacks of Meng Xi, the beast King, the warm youth, and all the other experts.


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Therefore, his first step was to give up on the competition for the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    He wasn¡¯t faking it ¨C Zhao Feng truly did leave the Heart Healing Palace.


    Miao miao!


    Zhao Feng grabbed the little thieving cat out of the ring.


    The little thieving cat was burping, and it was acting like an aggressive drunk as it looked toward Zhao Feng in dissatisfaction.


    The air of alcohol made Zhao Feng furrow his eyebrows.


    Eye of Ice Soul.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye became ice-blue, and a cold sensation passed through the little thieving cat¡¯s soul.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat hiccupped as it became much more clear-minded.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, you stay in the Heart Healing Palace.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered.


    The little thieving cat glanced toward the direction of Meng Xi and the beast King and shook its head. It was an agile-type spiritual pet, and its physical body wasn¡¯t strong. How could it withstand the pressure from the Demigod¡¯s blood?


    Just a burp from the unicorn would probably make it lose a layer of skin.


    ¡°Just stay here and keep a lookout.¡±


    Zhao Feng obviously wouldn¡¯t depend on the little thieving cat to fight for the Demigod¡¯s blood. It probably wouldn¡¯t even be able to get within a couple yards of the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat finally nodded its head, and its eyes started to spin as it gestured toward Zhao Feng with its paws.


    ¡°Hm? It¡¯s good that you understand me.¡±


    Zhao Feng paused slightly. The little thieving cat was like a cunning fox, so it knew what Zhao Feng had in mind.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s body disappeared. It hid in a random corner of the Heart Healing Palace while Zhao Feng sat on the scorching horse with the two dragonflymen behind him.


    ¡°There¡¯s no point in me going to the Heart Healing Palace if someone as strong as Meng Xi is there. Only in the Eye of Heaven state will I have a complete King intent.¡±


    Zhao Feng thought as he left the Heart Healing Palace without even looking back once.

 660 Nightmare Dimension

    As Meng Xi was suppressing everyone, Zhao Feng momentarily gave up on competing for the Demigod¡¯s blood and retreated.


    His Eye of Heaven would have a bigger advantage if he was further away.


    ¡°However, I can only use the Eye of Heaven at the most critical moment in order to achieve the best effect.¡±


    Zhao Feng got further and further away from the Heart Healing Palace.


    The little thieving cat was in the Heart Healing Palace, and Zhao Feng could share eyesight with it, which meant that Zhao Feng could still see what was happening in the Heart Healing Palace.


    Around half the time it took to make tea later, the sound of flying came from ahead, as well as the appearance of a familiar King intent.


    ¡°Nan Gongsheng!¡±


    Zhao Feng could see a proud youth in the air far away. It was, without a doubt, Nan Gongsheng, and the direction he was heading was the Heart Healing Palace.


    ¡°There¡¯s going to be a show to watch now.¡±


    Zhao Feng was happy.


    Nan Gongsheng had an ancient sword in his hand that changed the color of the sky wherever he went.


    Qiankun Sword!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed, and the Ice Imperial Spear that had merged with his bloodline trembled.


    Nan Gongsheng had been accepted by the Qiankun Sword, so he could now use this inheritance sacred weapon. After all, his cultivation was almost comparable to a King.


    Nan Gongsheng had spent a long time trying to gain the Qiankun Sword¡¯s recognition, otherwise this number one genius would have swept through everything already.


    Nan Gongsheng passed through the air and glanced at Zhao Feng, but he didn¡¯t say anything as he kept going toward the Heart Healing Palace.


    A while later, another few familiar figures appeared ahead.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao!¡±


    The newcomers were Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company.


    ¡°You¡¯re all headed toward the Heart Healing Palace, right? The competition there is very fierce¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng summarized what was happening, and he went in another direction after speaking.


    Chen Yilin started to think. That Zhao Feng arrived at the Heart Healing Palace before us, but now he¡¯s retreating.


    They couldn¡¯t understand Zhao Feng¡¯s actions.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s strength should be below only Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng went his own way toward a certain direction. It seemed that he had truly given up on the Demigod¡¯s blood, but in reality, most of his attention was still at the Heart Healing Palace.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go find a quiet place first.¡±


    Zhao Feng scanned through the information in his mind and used his Eye of Heaven to quickly find a target.


    ¡°Hidden Book Room.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that there was a Hidden Book Room in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    The Hidden Book Room was the Demigod¡¯s book room, and it contained many books, but apparently, there were no techniques or skills inside.


    The reason why the Demigod died was mainly due to the God Tribulations, and he apparently didn¡¯t have enough time to prepare a true, complete inheritance.


    However, the reason why Zhao Feng chose the Hidden Book Room was mainly because it was quiet and far away.


    At the same time, he also wanted to scout it out. Some people in the True Martial Sacred Land like to focus on lesser-known areas of the Demigod Forgotten Garden, thinking that there were some places that contained unknown fortune.


    The Hidden Book Room was one of those places.


    Being the book room of a Demigod, no fortune had ever appeared there ¨C this alone was suspicious.


    Right as Zhao Feng was heading toward the Hidden Book Room, the situation at the Heart Healing Palace changed.


    ¡°The Demigod¡¯s blood is mine!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng descended from the sky and entered the Heart Healing Palace. Another Magnificent Power arrived above the pond.


    Shua!


    With a flash, Nan Gongsheng appeared in front of the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    ¡°Nan Gongsheng!¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s expression changed. The Demigod¡¯s blood was extremely close to her palm.


    Hu~ Roar~~~


    The beast King roared and sent a wave of terrifying purple flaming lightning toward Nan Gongsheng.


    This was the attack of a King. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they were in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the area nearby would have already been flipped and tossed around.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    A Magnificent Power and a silver ripple of light appeared on Nan Gongsheng¡¯s body.


    Boom!


    The attack from the beast King seemed to be transported through space.


    Miao!


    A little cat in a corner somewhere had a weird expression.


    ¡°Spatial laws! As expected of the owner of a Heavenly Spiritual Body and a Spatial Spiritual Body.¡±


    Zhao Feng shared the same senses as the little thieving cat.


    Bam!


    The clash of the two powers caused the air to tremble.


    ¡°Not good¡­!¡±


    The nearby geniuses were unstable to stand.


    The shockwaves from the clash of Kings could sweep across half a mile in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    The jade stone footpath below started to crack.


    However, nothing within the Demigod Forgotten Garden was simple.


    Weng~


    Under a weird flow of energy, the destroyed buildings and paths started to automatically repair themselves. This was because the dimension of the Demigod Forgotten Garden was constructed by the Demigod, and the Demigod intent was the god here.


    ¡°Demigod¡­ Heavenly Divine Realm¡­ what kind of level is that?¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but look forward to it. The owner of his left eye was definitely a God from the ancient era, so they would¡¯ve been at the Heavenly Divine Realm at the least.


    ¡°Come!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng roared, and a hole with a silver light around its edge appeared in front of his palm.


    Hu~


    A mystic spatial pulling force locked on to the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    It was obvious that Nan Gongsheng was using a spatial secret technique to try to take the Demigod¡¯s blood away.


    Boom! Weng~~


    The Demigod¡¯s blood had its own consciousness, and it radiated a divine power that tried resisting the pull from the spatial hole.


    ¡°As I thought.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised.


    Nan Gongsheng¡¯s pulling force came from his spatial talent, and it was more of a close-range technique. It was much stronger than Zhao Feng¡¯s Spatial Movement. On top of that, Nan Gongsheng had almost reached the Void God Realm, so although the Demigod¡¯s blood struggled, it was still going toward him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    Meng Xi used the purple horn and ordered the beast King to attack Nan Gongsheng.


    She needed at least 50% of her energy to control the beast King.


    ¡°Nightmare Dimension!¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s hair blew wildly.


    In this instant, everything within dozens of yards became covered with a dreamy light. Then, in the blink of an eye, the people nearby entered a weird dimension.


    This dimension was still structured like the pond in the Heart Healing Palace, but the aura of space here had changed. It was as if another dimension had been eroded.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Meng Xi¡¯s hair grew out even longer and wrapped around Nan Gongsheng.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Nightmare Dimension again!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng gritted his teeth.


    The Nightmare Dimension didn¡¯t affect others much, but Meng Xi¡¯s strength increased dramatically.


    ¡°Ranked 239 among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races ¨C the Nightmare Race. Having a rare Soul bloodline, one can merge the Nightmare Dimension with reality.¡±


    The warm youth murmured to himself.


    To be able to affect reality with an illusion¡­ from this, one could see how terrifying this bloodline was.


    ¡°The ultimate illusion is reality. Her bloodline can even faintly touch such a direction.¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned.


    His Eye of Illusion pulled the enemy¡¯s consciousness into an illusion constructed by himself, whereas Meng Xi pulled the illusory Nightmare Dimension into reality.


    In this situation, everything that was once impossible for her was now possible.


    For example, in the real world, Meng Xi¡¯s hair was only the length of a regular human, but in the Nightmare Dimension, her hair could become several times longer. It was like she had the abilities of a dream.


    Of course, the effect of the Nightmare Dimension on reality was limited.


    Near the pond, Meng Xi¡¯s strength increased dramatically, and the dreamy light nearby was different from the other parts of the Heart Healing Palace.


    At this moment, Nan Gongsheng was on the defensive, and the spatial hole in front of his hand had disappeared.


    ¡°Mystic Spatial Split!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng waved his hand, and a sharp silver light radiating a forbidden aura came from the air.


    ¡°Nightmare Body!¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s body that was covered in dreamy light started to shift.


    Whoosh!


    The Mystic Spatial Split, which could instantly kill half-step Kings, did no damage to Meng Xi. Her defense had blocked 30% of the attack, and her imagination within the Nightmare Dimension could affect reality.


    No one knew whether they would still be alive if they were killed in their dream. Meng Xi¡¯s Nightmare Dimension could increase this effect by several times and make it affect reality.


    ¡°As expected of a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. It is indeed monstrous. If I could learn this Nightmare Dimension, it would be like creating a cheat.¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned, but he knew that it would be extremely difficult to copy this ability. He had no intentions of doing so, at least for now.


    ¡°Qiankun Sword!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng took out the inheritance sacred weapon.


    With a slice of the Qiankun Sword, the Heaven and Earth seemed to flip around and shake. Even the Nightmare Dimension trembled and was weakened.


    ¡°So, Nan Gongsheng did obtain the Qiankun Sword. Even if he can only use a tiny bit of its power, that¡¯s enough to destabilize my Nightmare Dimension and increase the amount of energy needed to maintain it.¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s heart shook.


    Nan Gongsheng was indeed worthy of being her destined rival.


    Boom! Bam! Bam!


    Meng Xi and Nan Gongsheng clashed. Their powers went into both the physical and the mental energy dimensions, and even the Nightmare Dimension.


    The remaining geniuses had all retreated more than a hundred yards away.


    Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company just arrived and couldn¡¯t help but click their tongues.


    ¡°Maybe Zhao Feng leaving was a smart idea.¡±


    Chen Yilin murmured.


    Unless Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi¡¯s strength dropped down by half, no one else would even dare to think about entering the fray.


    The clash of the two geniuses entered a stalemate. Victory wouldn¡¯t be determined within a short amount of time.


    However, at the same time, the power from the Demigod¡¯s blood was slowly weakening.


    ¡°Fight. If those two are in their peak state, I don¡¯t have too much of a chance.¡±


    A smile of mockery appeared on a warm youth standing on a rooftop.


    An hour later, there was a small book room made from bamboo in a courtyard.


    When Zhao Feng stepped in the courtyard, light rain suddenly started to pour down.


    ¡°Weird.¡±


    Zhao Feng seemed to hear the sound of poems being sung, which interacted with the soft rain outside.


    However, it didn¡¯t rain anywhere outside the courtyard.


    Zhao Feng guessed that this was the intent of the Demigod Forgotten Garden¡¯s owner ¨C quietly reading a book in the damp rains of Spring.


    This was the Demigod¡¯s book room.


    Zhao Feng stepped respectfully into the Hidden Book Room.

 661 Heaven Sun Battle Race

    A continuous drizzle dropped down in the courtyard.


    When he entered the Hidden Book Room, Zhao Feng felt a sense of calmness that contrasted with the fighting ongoing in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    The Hidden Book Room was just a small book room, but it had several hundred books.


    Zhao Feng glanced at them, but he didn¡¯t see any skill or technique books.


    ¡°Fate of an Emperor, Heaven Legacy Race¡¯s Mystery, Ten Thousand Ancient Races Ranking, God Tribulations Page¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye scanned past the old books.


    Some forbidden secrets in the outside world were written in the books.


    These books might have even more information than the three-star clans of the True Martial Sacred Land. After all, the core materials and information of three-star clans weren¡¯t open to the public.


    While the books here could be read, there were limits.


    Firstly, none of the books could be taken out.


    Secondly, one could only read fifty books a day at most.


    ¡°At least ten days is required to finish reading every book.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    One had to know that the Demigod Forgotten Garden was only open for half a month. Who would want to spend two-thirds of their time here reading books?


    In the past, a small amount of people had spent several days here, but apart from obtaining some knowledge, there was nothing else.


    ¡°Oh well, I can multi-task easily, so I¡¯ll just stay here and read then.¡±


    Zhao Feng soon made a decision.


    The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique allowed him to multi-task easily, allowing him to read while also paying attention to the battle for the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Currently, only the Demigod¡¯s blood was attractive to him.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts soon split into three.


    The first paid attention to the Demigod¡¯s blood. The second stayed in the Hidden Book Room and read the books, while the third focused on comprehension.


    Who knew what others would think if someone actually had the time to cultivate in the Demigod Forgotten Garden? Normal geniuses only thought about how to obtain fortunes.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had scanned through every corner of the Hidden Book Room, but he didn¡¯t see anything that was suspicious.


    Apart from books, there was some stationary.


    The material of this stationary weren¡¯t simple, but due to the Demigod intent, nothing here could be destroyed or taken away.


    Could it be that the Hidden Book Room really has no fortune?


    Zhao Feng thought, but the books themselves were interesting enough for Zhao Feng. Furthermore, he could read while cultivating and paying attention to the Demigod¡¯s blood, so it wasn¡¯t a waste of time.


    Zhao Feng even controlled the two dragonflymen to gather some resources and treasures in the Hundred Flower Garden.


    This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts were now split into four, but since he had formed half-step King intent, it wouldn¡¯t be hard for him to split his thoughts into almost a hundred at once.


    With the I-don¡¯t-lose-anything-anyway attitude, Zhao Feng read in peace.


    Instead of saying reading, it was more like copying.


    Zhao Feng flipped through the books and imprinted the information in his mind.


    An old book appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    Ten Thousand Ancient Races Ranking.


    The book recorded thousands of bloodline races among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    Even Meng Xi¡¯s and Jiang Fan¡¯s bloodline inheritances were in it.


    Meng Xi¡¯s bloodline came from the Nightmare Race of the ancient era, and it was ranked 239th.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh when he read the abilities of the Nightmare Race.


    The Nightmare Race had a terrifying ability; they could enter others¡¯ dreams and kill them.


    In a dream, the power of the Nightmare Race was unparalleled.


    However, this ability had heavy limitations. At least in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, not many people would sleep. In addition, while entering the dream of someone else, the person from the Nightmare Race themselves would need to sleep as well.


    Of course, the truly monstrous races were the highest ranking legendary bloodline races.


    ¡°First ¨C the Ancient Race.¡±


    When Zhao Feng read that title, his heart and blood shook. Even his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye trembled slightly.


    Just the name alone brought pressure on his bloodline.


    The Ancient Race ¨C the most perfect race in the world. Also known as the True God Race, but they were almost extinct after the Ancient Great Battle. When someone of this race is born, they automatically have a Natural God Demon Body, which is comparable to the body of a Demigod. Even if one doesn¡¯t cultivate, they will become an Ancient God in their adulthood.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but take in a cold breath when he saw the description.


    The power of a Demigod was terrifying. One could see that from all the abilities and miracles of the Demigod Forgotten Garden. However, everyone in the Ancient Race had a Natural God Demon Body when they were born, so even the bodies of infants were comparable to a Demigod.


    ¡°It¡¯s far too heaven-defying. Luckily, the Ancient Race hasn¡¯t appeared ever since.¡±


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath.


    The top ten races were all either extinct or currently facing extinction.


    What was worthy of being mentioned was that the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race was ranked in the top ten as well. In fact, it was even in the top five.


    Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race ¨C the most intelligent beings of the Fan Universe, and they can be traced back to before the ancient era.


    What was even more terrifying was that the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race had once created a weapon of mass destruction that could destroy Heaven and Earth. They had even created a time machine.


    However, that was only limited to the legends.


    Looks like the branch of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance that Xin Wuheng entered wasn¡¯t simple.


    Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    First, the Ancient Race.


    Third, the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race.


    Seventh, the Light Race.


    Eighth, the Golden Crow Race.


    Ninth, the Destruction Dragon Race.


    Nineteenth, the Spiritual Race.


    Zhao Feng felt that he was infinitely small after reading the descriptions of the legendary races.


    The Ten Thousand Ancient Races Rank book was tattered and incomplete. Not all the races were recorded in it, and some descriptions were incomplete.


    Zhao Feng soon finished reading the Ten Thousand Ancient Races Rank book and was filled with awe toward the ancient era.


    It was hard to imagine what kind of legends that era had.


    Time passed by slowly, and Zhao Feng had already forgotten about seeking fortune. Instead, he was immersed in knowledge. These books included the subjects of geography, history, and many more, but they didn¡¯t have anything regarding strength.


    However, reading these books allowed Zhao Feng to understand a lot.


    ¡°So, continent zones are real. After the Cang Ocean is a continent zone.


    ¡°A five-star superpower has never appeared even in the Spiritual Sacred Lands or the continent zones.¡±


    Zhao Feng learned an incredible secret.


    The Cang Ocean was just the tip of the iceberg in the Fan Universe.


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng became immersed in reading.


    Of course, his other thoughts were still doing stuff as well.


    One was cultivating, which was pretty simple, while another controlled the two dragonflymen to scout out the Hundred Flower Garden and obtain resources.


    The most relaxed one was the one with the little thieving cat.


    Through the little thieving cat, Zhao Feng knew what was happening in the Heart Healing Palace.


    Almost half of the geniuses in the Heart Healing Palace had already given up on the Demigod¡¯s blood, and the remaining geniuses were all elites. Almost half had a cultivation at the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi had entered a stalemate.


    If it were just a battle between the two, a victor may have been decided already. However, the divine power of the Demigod¡¯s blood increased the difficulty. Even a true King would face a lot of pressure from the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    A day passed by. Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi were both slightly tired, and their battle-power had weakened, but neither of them gave up.


    As long as one of them gave up, the other side had a high chance of obtaining the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    ¡°Hehe, since the battle between you two still hasn¡¯t ended yet, I¡¯ll take care of the Demigod¡¯s blood.¡±


    A light laugh sounded from above.


    Who¡¯s there!?


    The expressions of Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi changed slightly as they instinctively looked up.


    The owner of the voice was extremely close to them and the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Shua!


    A warm youth floated above the Demigod¡¯s blood and radiated a powerful aura.


    ¡°Come!¡±


    The warm youth reached out and sped through the middle of the two geniuses toward the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Boom!


    When the warm youth waved his hand, the space seemed to tremble, and a shining golden light surrounded his skin.


    Looking closely, the youth¡¯s hair and skin glittered with gold. From far away, he looked like a golden sun war god.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    Meng Xi gripped the purple horn and ordered the beast King to attack the warm youth.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    The warm youth wasn¡¯t scared at all. He was like a golden-colored war god as he blocked the attack with one palm.


    Boom!


    An enormous golden shockwave and purple flaming lightning swept across half the Heart Healing Palace.


    The nearby geniuses all cried out in shock.


    ¡°Battle-power comparable to a King! How is that possible!?¡±


    Even Meng Xi was slightly dazed.


    Because of some problems with her control, she could only use 70% of the beast King¡¯s strength. However, even then, this was too shocking.


    Ding!


    Nan Gongsheng sent out a silver spatial crack that landed on the warm youth, but the sound of metal screeching could be heard.


    A gash was left on the warm youth¡¯s skin, but no blood came out.


    ¡°Aura of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­.¡±


    Jiang Fan in a corner somewhere felt a pressure on his bloodline.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Ancient Races, ranked 98 ¨C the Heaven Sun Battle Race!¡±


    Shock appeared in Meng Xi¡¯s starry eyes.


    Ranked 98th in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    This was the first time she had seen or even heard of someone with a top-one-hundred Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.


    ¡°The top one hundred of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races are all heaven-defying existences.¡±


    Jiang Fan felt his bloodline become suppressed.


    His bloodline was only ranked between three and four hundred in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. He was extremely far off the Heaven Sun Battle Race.


    ¡°Hmph, the top one hundred of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races are way different from those below the top one hundred. The Heaven Sun Battle Race bloodline can allow my battle-power to be comparable to a King.¡±


    A smile appeared on the warm youth¡¯s face. It was a smile of victory.


    He had blocked the attacks of a beast King and Nan Gongsheng head-on.


    Under the shocked gazes of the nearby Sacred Land geniuses, Wen Luoan made his appearance.


    Wen Luo¡¯s figure flashed, and his hand pushed downward.


    Under the bloodline aura of a top-one-hundred Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, even the Demigod¡¯s blood trembled and was restricted.


    The warm youth swept his golden hand and grabbed the Demigod¡¯s blood.

 662 Breaking Through to the Great Origin Core Realm

    Back in the Hidden Book Room:


    ¡°Heaven Sun Battle Race, ranked 98th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. A legendary bloodline!¡±


    Zhao Feng was stunned at the warm youth¡¯s true strength.


    He had read the Ten Thousand Ancient Races Rankings, so he knew how terrifying each of the top-one-hundred bloodlines were.


    At this point, most of his attention was placed on the Heart Healing Palace.


    The warm youth descended from the sky like a golden war god with battle-power comparable to a King.


    Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi had been in a stalemate for a day and were tired. They weren¡¯t at their peak. Furthermore, the Demigod¡¯s blood¡¯s resistance was much weaker than before due to the clash of the two geniuses.


    In this critical moment, the warm youth dove in. It could be said that he had been lying in wait.


    Weng~


    The Demigod¡¯s blood trembled in the grip of the golden palm. It radiated a surge of power, but it wasn¡¯t as strong as before.


    Wen Luoan was motionless as his skin and hair glittered with gold.


    The aura of a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline made the hearts of the geniuses within the Heart Healing Palace shake.


    ¡°Come!¡±


    Wen Luoan¡¯s hand was like a furnace as it gripped the Demigod¡¯s blood and slowly moved it toward his interspatial ring.


    However, the Demigod¡¯s blood still had its own consciousness, so it struggled.


    If this drop of blood could be taken away so easily, then Zhao Feng¡¯s Spatial Movement or Nan Gongsheng¡¯s spatial techniques would have succeeded long ago.


    However, Wen Luoan did better than Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi.


    He had at least managed to ¡°hold¡± the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    He did his best as he tried to move the Demigod¡¯s blood toward his interspatial ring.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±


    How could Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi let him do as he pleased? They unleashed their attacks.


    Seeing that, Wen Luoan had to block the beast King¡¯s attack and Nan Gongsheng¡¯s slash once more.


    Boom!


    The power of the clash was comparable to a King as an enormous shockwave swept across half a mile.


    There was no one else within twenty yards of the pond.


    Ding!


    A small mark was left on Wen Luoan¡¯s neck, and this time, blood flowed out.


    Sii!


    The warm youth groaned as golden light shone from the injury and started to heal. The recovery speed of the top-one-hundred bloodlines surpassed others.


    ¡°Retreat!¡±


    The warm youth took the hit from Nan Gongsheng head-on, then leapt into the air.


    If he was able to obtain the Demigod¡¯s blood, it would be worth it even if he needed to pay a price.


    ¡°Get back here!¡±


    Just as the warm youth had flown out seven or eight yards, a silver figure flashed alongside a disturbance in space.


    Qiankun Sword!


    The silver figure appeared to be Nan Gongsheng, and he caused Heaven and Earth to tremble slightly as he slashed out with the inheritance sacred weapon.


    ¡°As expected of the number one genius of the Sacred Land. With Nan Gongsheng¡¯s talent, he won¡¯t let Wen Luoan retreat unharmed.¡±


    Zhao Feng paid close attention through the little thieving cat.


    No one noticed a faint and blurry Eye of Heaven appear then quickly disappear.


    Bam!


    The warm youth¡¯s golden fist smashed onto the Qiankun Sword and his figure shook, almost allowing the Demigod¡¯s blood to escape.


    The power of the Qiankun Sword was too terrifying, even despite the fact that Nan Gongsheng could only use a tiny bit of its strength.


    Boom!


    Before the warm youth could stand properly, long hair covered in a dreamy light wrapped around his other hand, which was holding the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Whoosh!


    The Demigod¡¯s blood managed to struggle free from the warm youth¡¯s grip.


    Weng~~


    After the Demigod¡¯s blood escaped, it floated in the air and started to hum.


    Before the three geniuses could react:


    Whoosh!


    The Demigod¡¯s blood flew through the air, as if unable to tolerate being tortured by the three anymore.


    ¡°Follow it!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng reacted the fastest as he turned into a silver streak and pursued the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    The warm youth followed, but he was unresigned. Just a moment ago, he was only one step away from obtaining the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    He had to admit that he had underestimated Nan Gongsheng¡¯s strength. Nan Gongsheng¡¯s battle-power was also comparable to a King, and his Spatial Spiritual Body¡¯s talent was immeasurable.


    In addition, Meng Xi had a beast King, and she was comparable to a King herself.


    ¡°Three King-level prodigies¡­.¡±


    The geniuses in the Heart Healing Palace could only look up at the three figures, and a few of them followed behind.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s figure flashed and followed the three prodigies.


    ¡°That¡¯s right; follow Meng Xi.¡±


    Zhao Feng praised.


    Meng Xi sat on the beast King¡¯s back, and its magnificent aura allowed everyone to easily sense it. Most of the others thinking about the Demigod¡¯s blood also followed her.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng then returned most of his attention back to the Hidden Book Room.


    Now that the Demigod¡¯s blood had flown away, the clash between the three King prodigies would become more complex.


    Zhao Feng guessed that the battle for the Demigod¡¯s blood wouldn¡¯t end anytime soon. As long as one of the three obtained the Demigod¡¯s blood, the other two would probably team up and attack the last one.


    Within the Hidden Book Room, Zhao Feng multi-tasked; he cultivated and read books at the same time.


    The Hidden Book Room had a rule that only 50 books could be read per day.


    Zhao Feng quickly finished reading 50 books. When he tried to pick up the 51st, there was a strong resistance.


    That meant that Zhao Feng could use more energy to cultivate and control the two dragonflymen.


    The battle-power of the two dragonflymen was almost comparable to a half-step King, and they could retreat from most dangers.


    The two dragonflymen would return every two days to hand over all the resources and treasures they had gathered.


    ¡°The treasures in the Hundred Flower Garden are even more plentiful than the Purple Smoke Lake.¡±


    Zhao Feng organized the spoils of war from the two dragonflymen.


    Dragonflymen were a weird offshoot species of humanity, somewhat similar to mermaids.


    Even if Zhao Feng did nothing himself, the treasures gathered from the two dragonflymen were bountiful.


    ¡°Scarlet Fire Lotus¡­ Sky Limit Ginseng¡­ great!¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed as his eyes landed on two treasures.


    The value of these two plants wasn¡¯t below the Purple Scaled Grass.


    The Scarlet Fire Lotus contained a pure flame that could increase one¡¯s comprehension and cultivation of Scarlet Fire.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet Destruction Purple Lightning precisely needed this Scarlet Fire power.


    If the power of Scarlet Fire could be merged into his Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, the power of Destruction would become even stronger, and the burning effect would last for a long time.


    On the other hand, the Sky Limit Ginseng was a treasure that could increase True Yuan. It was extremely suitable for those below the Void God Realm.


    With this Sky Limit Ginseng, I should be able to breakthrough to the Great Origin Core Realm, and the Scarlet Fire Lotus can increase my comprehension of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    Zhao Feng thought.


    Because the Sky Limit Ginseng could help increase cultivation straight away, it needed to be used with caution. However, Zhao Feng thought that, since he had already formed a Crystal Core, comprehended King intent, and his state of existence was about on par with a King¡¯s, the Great Origin Core Realm should pose no issue to him at all.


    Thinking up to there, he ate the Sky Limit Ginseng.


    The energy within the Sky Limit Ginseng was extremely strong. Normal Origin Core Realms needed to create spiritual pills or chop it into parts first. However, Zhao Feng ate it all without worry.


    A dominating source of energy surged into Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Normal Sovereigns would¡¯ve risked exploding, but Zhao Feng felt a warmth instead.


    He circulated his half-step King intent and easily controlled the energy, merging it with his Crystal Core.


    Half a day later, the energy of the Sky Limit Ginseng was easily stabilized by Zhao Feng.


    It was a new day, so he continued multi-tasking by reading books and cultivating.


    Reading was simple, and the fifty-book daily limit was soon finished.


    On the other hand, the situation with the Demigod¡¯s blood had changed.


    The Demigod¡¯s blood had somehow been lost.


    It was too small and too fast. It was extremely hard to find a single drop of blood in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    The three King prodigies and the other geniuses obviously wouldn¡¯t give up though. They gave it their all to try to find it.


    Although the Demigod¡¯s blood had disappeared, the three King prodigies could estimate its approximate location.


    The geniuses that had entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden all had countless bloodline inheritances and secret techniques, and they were finally able to find the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Whoosh!


    The Demigod¡¯s blood flashed by on a leaf.


    ¡°Follow it!¡±


    After hearing the news, the three King prodigies pursued it.


    This time, the Demigod¡¯s blood flew for a long time before entering a cold graveyard.


    This graveyard was at the corner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and it was dead-silent. There were no living beings here, only some tombs and graves.


    ¡°The Messy Graveyard!¡±


    Exclamations came from some of the geniuses.


    Zhao Feng was also paying attention.


    ¡°The Messy Graveyard is a forbidden area in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.¡±


    Many geniuses knew which places were forbidden in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Zhao Feng also knew how terrifying the Messy Graveyard was.


    Not many were willing to enter it.


    Firstly, the Messy Graveyard was extremely dangerous, and there were many powerful ghost-corpses and spirits of hatred there. On top of that, some of them were Kings.


    Secondly, the Messy Graveyard was literally just a graveyard. There was nothing there.


    On top of that, there were still some curses remaining in the graveyard. If one was not careful, they wouldn¡¯t even know how they died.


    Simply put, the Messy Graveyard was similar to the Forbidden Ground of a Hundred Graves, only a thousand times more dangerous.


    Whoosh!


    The Demigod¡¯s blood flew into the Messy Graveyard.


    Some of the geniuses hesitated, but the three King prodigies flew in without even stopping.


    At this point, this was the fifth day Zhao Feng had entered the Hidden Book Room.


    Over these five days, Zhao Feng had read half the books, and he fully absorbed the energy in the Sky Limit Ginseng and the remnants of the Immortal Springs Wine.


    ¡°Early-stage Great Origin Core Realm!¡±


    Zhao Feng used his half-step King intent to control his True Yuan.


    The Crystal Core had become a circle thicker.


    As expected, the Great Origin Core Realm posed no difficulty to Zhao Feng. He broke through as soon as the required quantity was met.


    ¡°Because I already formed my Crystal Core, breaking through to the Great Origin Core Realm doesn¡¯t actually increase my strength by much.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    On the contrary, he was more looking forward to the Scarlet Fire Lotus, which would help him comprehend the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    While he was cultivating, he was still reading books.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    He flipped over the cover of the book in his hand and his heart skipped a beat, ¡°The Eight Great God Eyes?¡±


    This book had been placed in a corner of the room before and drew no special attention.

 663 Legend of the Ancestor Eyes

    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He was slightly dumbfounded as he looked at the thin book.


    He didn¡¯t think that the Hidden Book Room would contain knowledge about the Eight Great God Eyes.


    However, the book was extremely thin, and there wasn¡¯t much content in it. It wasn¡¯t a thick book like the Ten Thousand Ancient Races Ranking, which had a complete summary of specific races.


    Even so, it made Zhao Feng excited.


    His left eye was very likely to be the ninth God¡¯s Eye.


    With this attitude, Zhao Feng slowly opened the book.


    ¡°After the chaos and creation of the Fan Universe, Eight Great God Eyes were created¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng was completely attracted by its contents.


    According to the book, the Eight Great God Eyes were all unique, and they ruled over Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°¡­because they are unique, the Eight Great God Eyes aren¡¯t ranked among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, otherwise each of them would rank in the top ten or twenty.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood what it meant.


    The Eight Great God Eyes were too unique, and they were related to the Fan Universe itself. They were also related to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races in some way.


    The book analyzed the powers of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    The Eight Great God Eyes were legends even for Demigods.


    The Eight Great God Eyes were: The Samsara God Eye, the God Eye of Spacetime, the God Eye of Life, the God Eye of Death, the God Eye of Destiny, the God Eye of Destruction, and two others.


    It wasn¡¯t hard to see the abilities of each eye just from their names.


    The Eight Great God Eyes were all related to the foundation of the Fan Universe.


    Samsara, Spacetime, and Destiny were all profound and mystic.


    The God Eye of Spacetime represented absolute control over Space and Time.


    Zhao Feng concentrated on reading about the eight abilities of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    In reality, most of the abilities were guesses.


    Zhao Feng paid extra attention to the God Eye of Death¡¯s abilities.


    ¡°Anything in front of the God Eye of Death will lose control over their life, even if they are at the Heavenly Divine Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold when he saw this.


    In the last chapter of the Eight Great God Eyes, Zhao Feng saw a few words ¨C Supreme Ancestor Eye.


    ¡°Apparently, when the Eight Great God Eyes gather, they can summon the Supreme Ancestor Eye, which can recreate the laws of the universe.¡±


    Supreme¡­ Ancestor Eye?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook.


    ¡°However, when the Supreme Ancestor Eye opens, everything in the world will vanish. Apparently, everything in the world is just the ¡®Dream of the Fan Universe.¡¯ When the Ancestor Eye opens, the ¡®dream¡¯ will break.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bones chilled when he read up to there.


    This was just too stunning. Everything in the world was just a dream, and when the Supreme Ancestor Eye opened, the dream would shatter.


    Of course, that was just a legend.


    Ever since the creation of the Fan Universe, the Supreme Ancestor Eye had never appeared, and the Eight Great God Eyes had never summoned it.


    The book also had guesses about the ninth God Eye.


    ¡°Nine is the final number. The Fan Universe should still have the ninth God Eye. Maybe when all nine God Eyes gather, that will confirm the existence of the Supreme Ancestor Eye.¡±


    This was the ending of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath.


    The Eight Great God Eyes were too mysterious, and they seemed to rule above all else.


    Zhao Feng had never seen anyone with a God Eye. Even the owner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden hadn¡¯t.


    After reading the Eight Great God Eyes, Zhao Feng calmed himself down and opened the next book.


    Another four or five days was needed to read every book.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s goal was to read all of the books in the Hidden Book Room. No one had ever done this before.


    There was a lot of fortune in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, but the Hidden Book Room only contained knowledge. Furthermore, most of this knowledge was already recorded elsewhere in the True Martial Sacred Land.


    No one except Zhao Feng would be willing to spend two-thirds of their time on reading. He had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, so he could multi-task easily.


    Furthermore, after really calming down, Zhao Feng was actually interested in the books.


    For the next two days, as he read the books, Zhao Feng also used the Scarlet Fire Lotus to comprehend the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    His King intent increased his comprehension speed greatly.


    On the seventh day after entering the Hidden Book Room, Zhao Feng had comprehended 20-30% of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    Weng~~


    A wisp of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning was mixed in with the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning.


    ¡°Now that I¡¯ve comprehended 20-30% of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, normal half-step Kings aren¡¯t my match at all.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    Not only was the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning powerful, it had a long burning effect.


    That meant that the damage from the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning would increase by several times.


    Zhao Feng believed that, if he met Lei Zhen again, he would have the advantage even though the latter countered him.


    In reality, if Zhao Feng used his advantage ¨C his Soul eye-bloodline techniques ¨C to attack Lei Zhen, the latter would have no chance at all. However, Zhao Feng still wanted to conserve a bit of his strength.


    Time passed by slowly, and Zhao Feng paid extra attention to what was happening in the Messy Graveyard.


    In the Messy Graveyard:


    Miao!


    A little thieving cat hid in a corner and was extremely careful.


    The faint golden Demigod¡¯s blood was floating above a large tomb.


    None of the three King prodigies had given up.


    The large tomb was a hundred yards wide, and it was in the very center of the Messy Graveyard.


    The Messy Graveyard was cold and always covered in darkness. There were also plenty of curses here. Powerful spirits of hatred occasionally floated through the air and opened their mouths. Some of them were even Kings or Emperors when they were alive.


    If it were a normal genius from the Sacred Land, even if they could get out alive, they would lose a layer of skin.


    ¡°Luckily, it¡¯s the little thieving cat. Any of the other slaves would have already died from the curses or the spirits of hatred long ago.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    He had told the little thieving cat to keep an eye on the Demigod¡¯s blood since he expected there would be chaotic situations.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s aura seemed to merge into the darkness.


    It held the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger in its hand. This was a sacred item of the Dao of Assassination, and the little thieving cat was currently like the Lord of Darkness. When curses got near it, they would crumble.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    The clash of the three King prodigies had reached an astonishing level, and even the power of the curses nearby was pushed away.


    Apart from the three King prodigies, there were also a small number of other geniuses in the Messy Graveyard, such as some of other top ten geniuses and those with unique bloodlines or abilities that could push away demons and ghosts.


    Jiang Fan was amongst them. The aura from his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline was enough to push the power of the curses away.


    Some geniuses of the Wicked Path that specialized in ghost-corpses could also survive in the Messy Graveyard for a while.


    Apart from them, the other geniuses couldn¡¯t even survive in the Messy Graveyard. Some ran away alive, and others were killed.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but feel lucky that he wasn¡¯t part of them.


    ¡°The perfect opportunity is when the three King prodigies are tired while the consciousness of the Demigod¡¯s blood is much weaker.¡±


    Zhao Feng planned.


    However, when one¡¯s cultivation reached the level of the three King prodigies, they almost had a limitless amount of energy. After all, they all stood at the very peak of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    The Great Origin Core Realm represented a change in the quantity of True Yuan. Not only could those at the Great Origin Core Realm absorb Heaven Earth Yuan Qi more easily, they could also summon the power of Heaven and Earth.


    Another day later, the Demigod¡¯s blood managed to escape from the three King prodigies and dove into the large tomb.


    ¡°The tomb at the very center of the Messy Graveyard!¡±


    The expressions of Nan Gongsheng, Meng Xi, and Wen Luoan all changed dramatically.


    The center tomb was definitely a forbidden area within a forbidden area.


    In the past, basically no one had ever managed to escape from it.


    Of course, there was rarely anyone that dared to enter it in the first place.


    Apart from the fact that the Messy Graveyard was extremely dangerous, there wasn¡¯t much fortune there either.


    ¡°Follow!¡±


    The warm youth paused for a moment before speeding off in pursuit.


    He was confident in his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.


    Shua!


    A silver flash entered the center tomb even faster than him.


    ¡°As expected of Nan Gongsheng.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked through the little thieving cat¡¯s eyes and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    According to his analysis, Nan Gongsheng was the strongest of the three. He didn¡¯t rely on a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline or some beast King. Nan Gongsheng had formed King intent, and his cultivation was almost at the Void God Realm. His talent in Space and his battle techniques had all reached an incredible level. His Spatial Spiritual Body also increased his compatibility with Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°The strength of the geniuses this time is the strongest it¡¯s been in thousands of years. We can even dare to enter the forbidden places.¡±


    Meng Xi was the third to enter the tomb.


    ¡°Wen Luoan.¡±


    While Meng Xi was moving, she sent a message to the warm youth.


    ¡°What?¡±


    The warm youth followed closely behind Nan Gongsheng and the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    In the passage of the tomb:


    Weng~~


    Nan Gongsheng used a spatial movement skill and caught up to the Demigod¡¯s blood, immediately trying to contain it.


    ¡°You and I team up and finish off Nan Gongsheng first. We¡¯ll discuss how to split the Demigod¡¯s blood later.¡±


    Meng Xi spoke.


    She knew a bit or two about the warm youth. The only reason Wen Luoan could even enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden was due to the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.


    It was more suitable for them to work together than for him to work with Nan Gongsheng.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    The warm youth agreed. Even he found Nan Gongsheng¡¯s spatial abilities and battle-power troublesome.


    ¡°Kill!¡±


    After the two finished their discussion, they charged toward Nan Gongsheng without hesitation.


    The warm youth¡¯s skin was completely gold as he thrusted out a large hand toward Nan Gongsheng.


    ¡°Nightmare Dimension!¡±


    Meng Xi flashed forward, and the space around them started to glow with a dreamy light.


    The power of a nightmare appeared in reality and increased her battle-power. The impossible became possible. At the same time, her hair and her arms became two or three times longer as they swiped toward Nan Gongsheng.


    Such an ability had broken the rules of reality.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng snickered coldly as the air around him became covered with a silver light. It seemed as if space itself was flowing.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The combined attack of the two King prodigies shook Nan Gongsheng¡¯s body and made his defensive spatial technique unstable.


    At the same time:


    Miao!


    A small silver-gray cat merged into the darkness of the passage, and a dagger as dark as a shadow appeared in its paw.


    At this instant, a blurry Eye of Heaven started to form in the sky.

 664 The Little Thieving Cat Showing Off

    As the balance of the three King prodigies was about to be broken, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t stand still anymore.


    ¡°It¡¯ll be bad for me once Meng Xi and Wen Luoan finish off Nan Gongsheng.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t wish to see this.


    No matter how much of a threat Nan Gongsheng posed, he came from the Mystic True Sacred Clan as well, and the combination of Meng Xi and Wen Luoan would be a greater danger to Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng¡¯s spatial secret technique was able to block Meng Xi and Wen Luoan¡¯s attack for the moment.


    Shua!


    With a flash of silver, Nan Gongsheng grabbed the Demigod¡¯s blood and flew toward the very center of the tomb.


    ¡°Nightmare Prison!¡±


    Meng Xi waved her hand, and faint lines formed a prison and merged into reality, decreasing Nan Gongsheng¡¯s ability to move.


    ¡°Heaven Sealing War Punch!¡±


    The warm youth leapt into the air and sent a golden fist toward Nan Gongsheng, blocking off his paths of retreat.


    Spatial Sky Slash!


    Nan Gongsheng grabbed the Qiankun Sword and waved it, forming spiderweb-like cracks in the air.


    Bam! Peng~~


    The silver light radiating from Nan Gongsheng faded by over half. The beast King also attacked and released its Magnificent Power.


    Wah!


    Nan Gongsheng retreated as blood dripped from his mouth. The Demigod¡¯s blood had also escaped his control.


    His face flickered with hatred and unwillingness.


    In single combat, neither Meng Xi nor the warm youth would be his match. However, Meng Xi currently had the beast King and the help of the warm youth.


    ¡°Finish him off first!¡±


    Meng Xi snickered coldly as her hair grew several times longer and restricted the Demigod¡¯s blood within a corner of the Nightmare Prison.


    The warm youth and the beast King charged toward Nan Gongsheng.


    Meng Xi tried to restrain the Demigod¡¯s blood while the warm youth tried to prevent Nan Gongsheng from escaping.


    It was obvious that they both wanted to kill Nan Gongsheng, or at least severely injure him to a degree that he wouldn¡¯t be able to fight for the Demigod¡¯s blood anymore.


    ¡°It isn¡¯t hard for me to escape, but to give the Demigod¡¯s blood away like this¡­¡±


    Nan Gongsheng¡¯s eyes went dark with helplessness and unwillingness.


    Right at this moment, his heart shook as he looked at something in the air.


    Specifically, the air behind Meng Xi.


    The blurry outline of an eye started to form.


    Miao!


    A little thieving cat hidden in a corner of the passage suddenly jumped out.


    Whoosh!


    A mysterious transparent dagger flashed through the darkness.


    The flash of light was filled with cold killing intent.


    ¡°Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger!¡±


    The warm youth exclaimed and warned because the dagger was heading straight toward Meng Xi¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°A strike that¡¯s merged into space.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng¡¯s eyes lit up.


    It was hard to imagine what level of mastery this palm-sized cat had reached in terms of Spatial Assassination.


    Even normal half-step Kings probably wouldn¡¯t be able to evade the attack.


    Meng Xi¡¯s expression changed. She felt a cold killing intent pierce into her heart, and her eyes started to hurt.


    Even though she was in the Nightmare Dimension, she didn¡¯t want to take this hit head-on since this dagger, the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger, was on the same level as the Qiankun Sword and the Sky Locking Bow.


    The Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger had fused the Dao of Assassination and the Dao of Space. It could ignore defense to a certain degree, and even the unkillable Death Guards were troubled by it.


    Shu~~~~


    Meng Xi seemed to foresee herself being stabbed by the dagger.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    Meng Xi could only use her hair to face the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger. After all, she was holding the purple horn with one hand and controlling the beast King with it, while her other hand was restricting the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Voom!


    With the buff of the Nightmare Dimension, the strength of her long hair increased dramatically. She almost had battle-power comparable to a King.


    The Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger was instantly washed away.


    Nan Gongsheng sighed, but his heart jumped the next instant as he caught sight of something.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    Meng Xi exclaimed. She realized that the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger had vanished in the Nightmare Dimension.


    A strange aura of Space entered her Nightmare Dimension.


    Shuuu~~~~


    The Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger pierced through one of the Meng Xi¡¯s wrists.


    More precisely, the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger suddenly appeared inside her wrist, then pierced through it.


    ¡°Spatial Movement?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng was surprised. With his talent in Space, he could see the theory behind the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger.


    ¡°Arghhhhh~~!¡±


    Meng Xi screamed as blood poured out from her wrist ¨C the wrist that had been holding onto the purple horn.


    Fuck!


    Meng Xi¡¯s expression changed dramatically as she seemed to suddenly realize something.


    The purple horn!


    This was a unique item that she had, which could control the beast King. However, before she could do anything, a dark silver light flashed by.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat seemed to be lying in wait as it suddenly grabbed the purple-scaled horn.


    This scene stunned the other two King prodigies.


    ¡°Stop~~!¡±


    Meng Xi roared as anger appeared on her stunning face.


    The purple horn was her biggest card in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. With a beast King in hand, both Nan Gongsheng and the warm youth were wary of her.


    Get back here!


    Meng Xi circulated her Nightmare bloodline to its fullest extent, and faint lines stabbed toward the little thieving cat. However, the little thieving cat was extremely agile, and it knew spatial secret techniques, so it managed to dodge the attack with incredible methods.


    In terms of agility, no one could be compared to the little thieving cat.


    Meng Xi¡¯s expression went grim. Just as she was about to use more killing moves:


    ¡°Divine Light of Destruction!¡±


    A stunning azure light shot toward Meng Xi in the Nightmare dimension.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!?¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s figure shook, and her Nightmare Dimension was almost dispersed by the Divine Light of Destruction. Its power dropped by half.


    It¡¯s him!


    Meng Xi saw a cold blue eye gazing down at her.


    Miao!


    Using this chance, the little thieving cat merged into the darkness and disappeared.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let it get away!¡±


    Meng Xi was barely able to sense which direction the little thieving cat was running. However, to her surprise, the little thieving cat didn¡¯t run toward the outside.


    Miao miao!


    It held the purple horn and smiled a victorious smile.


    Instead of running, it just stood there.


    Nan Gongsheng and the warm youth both paused. Although this cat was strong, it wasn¡¯t strong enough to directly fight against Meng Xi. However, they understood the very next instant.


    Roar~~~~


    A Magnificent Power enveloped the little thieving cat.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat was pulled toward a purple horned beast.


    The beast King!


    The hearts of the three King prodigies shook.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat held the purple horn and bared its chest as it sat proudly on the beast King.


    Its dance almost made Meng Xi cough out blood.


    ¡°The beast King¡¯s being controlled by it now¡­.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng and the warm youth were both stunned. They had not anticipated this at all.

 665 Does Your Waist not Hurt When You Talk?

    Within the tomb:


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat held the purple horn and sat on the back of the beast King with a victorious expression.


    ¡°Fucking cat! Give the horn back to me!¡±


    Meng Xi was so angry that she was trembling, and her face was filled with anger and humiliation. However, the little thieving cat had successfully controlled the beast King, so it wasn¡¯t scared of Meng Xi. On the contrary, it even made faces at her.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven in the sky revealed a faint glint and faded away.


    ¡°That Zhao Feng¡­.¡±


    The heart of the warm youth fell.


    He never expected that Zhao Feng, who seemed to have given up on the Demigod¡¯s blood, could use such methods from so far away to still compete with the three King prodigies.


    If the three King prodigies were still in a state of equilibrium, Zhao Feng would¡¯ve done nothing, but Nan Gongsheng was at a disadvantage a moment ago due to Meng Xi and the warm youth teaming up, thus, Zhao Feng intervened.


    ¡°Which means that I won¡¯t have an advantage even if I team up with Meng Xi. Furthermore, the beast King¡¯s now on Zhao Feng¡¯s side.¡±


    Wen Luoan¡¯s expression kept on flickering. He seemed to realize that, although Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t even present, he seemed to control the situation.


    Whoosh!


    The Demigod¡¯s blood flew toward the very depths of the center tomb.


    ¡°Follow it!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng turned into a silver streak and chased after it.


    Now that the beast King was controlled by the little thieving cat, even if Nan Gongsheng wasn¡¯t a match for Wen Luoan¡¯s and Meng Xi¡¯s combination, he wasn¡¯t scared of them.


    Meng Xi and Wen Luoan looked at each other.


    Meng Xi obviously wanted to team up in order to get the purple horn back, but Wen Luoan was slightly hesitant.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven appeared above the little thieving cat and released a surge of Magnificent Power.


    The expressions of Wen Luoan and Meng Xi changed dramatically.


    It was hard for them to imagine that the eye had true King intent. It would be extremely hard for them to get the purple horn back against the combination of the Eye of Heaven, the little thieving cat, and the beast King.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat ignored the two and controlled the beast King to follow the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    In the end, Meng Xi and Wen Luoan didn¡¯t do anything. They put their eyes on the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    They soon caught up to Nan Gongsheng.


    Weng~~


    Nan Gongsheng used a spatial secret technique and managed to restrain the Demigod¡¯s blood, but it was at this moment that the little thieving cat, Meng Xi, and Wen Luoan caught up.


    Without saying anything, Wen Luoan immediately started to attack Nan Gongsheng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, help me!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng exclaimed. He guessed who the owner of the eye was.


    As if reacting to his plea:


    Boom!


    The little thieving cat attacked Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi.


    The situation instantly became chaotic as the little thieving cat and Nan Gongsheng teamed up to fight Meng Xi and Wen Luoan.


    Putting aside who would get the Demigod¡¯s blood at the end, the two pairs were on different sides from the start.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven might attack at any time.¡±


    The warm youth tensed up and communicated with Meng Xi.


    At this moment, Wen Luoan felt that the most fearful enemy wasn¡¯t Nan Gongsheng, but Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was outside, and he could attack with his Eye of Heaven at any time. Although Zhao Feng¡¯s battle-power might not be quite as good as the three King prodigies, his true body wasn¡¯t even here, so he could more easily control the situation.


    ¡°But we can¡¯t give up on the Demigod¡¯s blood so easily.¡±


    How could Meng Xi not know that?


    Once Nan Gongsheng obtained the Demigod¡¯s blood, he would become a King, and taking care of his enemies would be as easy as flipping his hand.


    The three King prodigies were in a stalemate with no path of retreat.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng was sitting in the Hidden Book Room and calmly reading his book.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad. Just one drop of Demigod¡¯s blood is stalling the three King prodigies.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    After getting control of the beast King, Zhao Feng knew that victory was already half his.


    When he left the Heart Healing Palace, Zhao Feng had already planned to get the purple horn. After all, it would be hard for Zhao Feng to clash with the three King prodigies head-on. He was indeed a bit weaker than them.


    However, after obtaining the purple horn, the tide started to turn. He didn¡¯t need to fear fighting against the three King prodigies anymore.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng flipped through the book. Since there was enough time, he read through all the contents carefully.


    Zhao Feng somehow felt that these books had their own consciousness, like there was a mysterious mental energy power within them.


    ¡°I only need one or two days to finish all the books.¡±


    Zhao Feng was looking forward to it.


    He soon completed the fifty-book limit and spent more of his focus on the center tomb.


    The three King prodigies and the little thieving cat were still fighting.


    None of the four would be able to take the Demigod¡¯s blood and escape for quite a while.


    A day later, the Demigod¡¯s blood took the group to the depths of the tomb.


    There was a strong aura of ghosts here, and powerful spirits of hatred would occasionally appear. Many of them were Kings when they were alive, and although most of their power had faded after they turned into spirits of hatred, it was still enough to trouble the three King prodigies.


    Luckily, the spirits of hatred were scared of the Demigod¡¯s blood and didn¡¯t dare to get too close to it, otherwise, if some spirit Kings and an army of spirits of hatred came, they might be able to kill everyone.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat ordered the beast King to follow closely behind the Demigod¡¯s blood. The Demigod¡¯s blood would reduce the dangers in the tomb by 70%.


    ¡°As expected of a forbidden area in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. 90% of people below the Void God Realm will die if they come here. Even Kings might not be able to retreat unharmed.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bones went cold from what he saw through the little thieving cat¡¯s eyes. The three King prodigies were all cold as well, but they couldn¡¯t retreat anymore.


    Following the Demigod¡¯s blood was actually the safest method, and it represented great rewards at the same time.


    ¡°Nan Gongsheng, I have a suggestion.¡±


    Meng Xi suddenly said.


    ¡°What suggestion?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng replied emotionlessly. He had the help of the little thieving cat now, so he wasn¡¯t scared of Meng Xi and Wen Luoan teaming up.


    ¡°We should team up and take the Demigod¡¯s blood out of the tomb first. Then we¡¯ll decide how to split it.¡±


    Meng Xi suggested.


    Hearing that, Nan Gongsheng was slightly moved. This tomb was too terrifying; who knew what dangers it held?


    ¡°But who will take care of the Demigod¡¯s blood?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng asked.


    At this moment, the two pairs teamed up to restrict the Demigod¡¯s blood, but there were powerful spirits of hatred and even hatred spirit Kings here that would attack them so they would be unable to stand together.


    Everyone did their best to avoid the attacks of the hatred spirit Kings.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat immediately waved its claws and offered to do it.


    Nan Gongsheng revealed a weird expression.


    ¡°No.¡±


    The warm youth immediately shook his head.


    Behind the little thieving cat¡¯s back was Zhao Feng, and his Eye of Heaven was extremely hard to deal with.


    At this point, the plan was unable to be carried out. The other three wouldn¡¯t feel safe if someone else took control over the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Right at this moment:


    Shua!


    An eye appeared above them and caused the hearts of the three King prodigies to shake.


    The warm youth and Meng Xi gritted their teeth.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao, what is your suggestion?¡±


    They looked at the Eye of Heaven with complex expressions. Although Zhao Feng¡¯s battle-power wasn¡¯t as strong as the King prodigies, he was in full control of the situation.


    ¡°It¡¯s easy; why not split the Demigod¡¯s blood into four parts? It¡¯ll be fair that way.¡±


    A voice came from the Eye of Heaven along with the descent of a magnificent aura.


    ¡°Split it into four?¡±


    Everyone¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    It wasn¡¯t as if they hadn¡¯t thought of this before, it was just that the power contained within the Demigod¡¯s blood was too terrifying.


    Firstly, they weren¡¯t even sure if the Demigod¡¯s blood could be split into four parts. The Demigod¡¯s blood was just a drop of blood, but it had its own consciousness. If they forcefully split it apart, the Demigod¡¯s blood might explode, and the power of that could even kill Kings.


    Hehe, if they forcefully split it, the Demigod¡¯s blood will definitely struggle, and its consciousness will weaken. When the Demigod¡¯s blood¡¯s resistance is at its lowest point, my Spatial Movement might be able to take it all away.


    Zhao Feng had his own plans in mind.


    The other people decided to give it a try.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat threw the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger into the air above the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    ¡°En, work together and merge your power into the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger, then split the Demigod¡¯s blood together.¡±


    Zhao Feng suggested.


    The other three King prodigies faintly nodded their heads.


    The Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger was a sacred weapon of the Dao of Assassination that could ignore defense. It was the most suitable item to split the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Weng~~


    With the little thieving cat at the center, the three King prodigies merged their strength into the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger.


    However, before the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger could be slashed down:


    Weng~~ Boom!!!!!


    Nan Gongsheng, Meng Xi, Wen Luoan, and the beast King were sent flying. Amongst them, blood dripped from Meng Xi¡¯s mouth, and she glared at the Eye of Heaven with a cold expression.


    The others looked at Zhao Feng with anger as well. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that it was just an eyeball above them, they might team up and attack him to release their anger.


    ¡°Accident.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled. The Demigod¡¯s blood was like a living being that could feel fear.


    If a dog panicked, it would jump over the fence. If the Demigod¡¯s blood was going to be cut up, it would have the decisiveness to self-destruct.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s suggestion of splitting it up ended in failure.


    Wen Luoan felt as if he was tricked. Split the Demigod¡¯s blood? That was just a trap. Does his waist not hurt from talking?


    Weng~


    The Demigod¡¯s blood knocked the four back, and its aura became weaker as it headed toward the even-deeper parts of the tomb.


    ¡°Go, go, go!¡±


    The group didn¡¯t have enough time to question Zhao Feng. They immediately chased after the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    ¡°The aura of the Demigod¡¯s blood is much weaker now. It¡¯ll lose its consciousness after two more days, then it¡¯ll be unable to fight back.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven disappeared as his consciousness returned to the Hidden Book Room.


    ¡°There¡¯s just a couple dozen more books left.¡±


    Zhao Feng reached out and grabbed a book without resistance. The fifty-book limit seemed to increase during the last two or three days.


    Without thinking anymore, he finished reading all the books in the Hidden Book Room.

 666 Demigod Partial Though

    Zhao Feng finally completed all the books in the Hidden Book Room.


    The contents of the books were all very clear in his mind.


    Zhao Feng was truly interested in these books, and he had read them from beginning to end.


    Zhao Feng slowly closed his eyes. He felt that the contents of the books contained a faint wisp of mental energy power.


    All of the knowledge gathered into one.


    Suddenly, a faint light started to burn from every book.


    Hmm?


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat.


    He had a feeling that these books weren¡¯t simple, and he had been wondering what would happen if he finished all of them.


    Voom! Voom!


    All the books in the room suddenly sparkled and started to burn.


    ¡°This is¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng was instantly on guard. He didn¡¯t dare to make any rash moves. After all, this was the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and nothing could be measured by normal standards.


    A few breaths later, when the books finished burning, they merged into a faint transparent light that connected with the knowledge in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Shua!


    The faint light merged with the knowledge in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Junior, I am the Demigod Kun Yun. You are very lucky ¨C you have passed the test of a Demigod.¡±


    A voice sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    A faint wisp of light radiating a divine aura pressured Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness.


    ¡°Demigod Kun Yun?¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected the transparent faint light.


    If it were a normal genius here facing such ¡°fortune,¡± they would¡¯ve already been filled with joy and panic. After all, this faint wisp of light could be some kind of mental energy inheritance that the Demigod left behind.


    However, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t a newbie anymore, and he had interacted with the Purple Saint Partial Spirit before.


    The Purple Night Sacred Lord was once a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord, whereas the owner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden was half a step into the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    ¡°Are you the owner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Ridiculous! You dare to question my identity? I am a partial spirit consciousness of the Demigod Kun Yun.¡±


    The faint light¡¯s voice seemed to be slightly angered, and a terrifying mental energy pressure descended. It was as if Heaven and Earth was about to shatter.


    Normal people would¡¯ve already pissed their pants and bowed down, but Zhao Feng remained emotionless and acted as if he was uneasy.


    ¡°Junior, listen to my advice and you may be able to receive the inheritance of a Demigod. Even the Demigod Forgotten Garden can be inherited by you.¡±


    The voice said in a superior tone.


    Demigod¡¯s inheritance? Inherit the entire Demigod Forgotten Garden?


    When Zhao Feng heard that, his heart couldn¡¯t help but speed up.


    ¡°Junior, are you willing to be a disciple of mine?¡±


    However, when Zhao Feng heard all those promises he snickered coldly, ¡°A measly Partial Thought dares to call itself a Demigod?¡±


    When the faint light heard that, it couldn¡¯t help but shake.


    ¡°Junior, if you don¡¯t believe me, I can cause your soul to shatter with just one thought.¡±


    The faint light snickered, and the image of Heaven and Earth shattering appeared in the soul-dimension.


    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re just a measly Partial Thought pretending to have the powers of a Demigod. It¡¯s like you¡¯re trying to pretend to be a tiger, but others only see you as a dog.¡±


    Zhao Feng mocked. He was calm as he saw the image in his soul-dimension. 99% of other geniuses below the level of a King would be tricked, but Zhao Feng specialized in the Dao of the Soul himself, so he wouldn¡¯t be tricked by it.


    He had reached a high mastery and understanding of the Dao of the Soul. Zhao Feng had guessed that this was a Partial Thought as soon as he saw the faint light.


    Partial Thoughts and Partial Spirits were different.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit was an incomplete soul, which had far more knowledge than a Partial Thought. A Partial Thought was just a remnant thought that contained a small amount of knowledge of the owner when they were alive.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t scared of this wisp of a Demigod Partial Thought.


    ¡°Junior, you¡¯re courting death¡­!¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought roared in anger.


    ¡°Hmph, my Martial Ancestor is a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord. Do you think you can trick me with just this?¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly, and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye released a terrifying aura that destroyed the image created by the Demigod Partial Thought.


    ¡°Junior, stop, you¡¯ve won¡­.¡±


    The faint wisp of light seemed to become dimmer when facing the aura from Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. It was like a candle about to blow out.


    The Demigod Partial Thought cursed in its heart. This human specialized in the Dao of the Soul and had an extremely strong eye-bloodline power. The eye-bloodline itself was also not simple. Furthermore, Zhao Feng said that his Martial Ancestor was a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord. That also made it scared.


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly and took back the aura from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he specialized in mental energy and had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he might have been tricked by the Demigod Partial Thought.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng remained calm and saw through its plan.


    ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of a Demigod Partial Thought hidden here? How much do you know about the Demigod Forgotten Garden?¡±


    Zhao Feng questioned.


    The Demigod Partial Thought was angry, but it couldn¡¯t do anything except answer.


    ¡°The soul of the Demigod was destroyed by the God Tribulation long ago. There¡¯s only a few Demigod Partial Thoughts scattered around the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and I am one of them¡­.¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought didn¡¯t dare to hide anything. This youth was calm and had a Mystic Light Realm elder behind him. If it lied here, it would be seen through soon.


    Zhao Feng understood what happened before and after.


    After the Demigod died, only some Partial Thoughts remained, and this Demigod Partial Thought was put in the Hidden Boom Rook since the Demigod used to stay here quite often in the past, so the memories of the Partial Thought were born here.


    After Zhao Feng read all the books, the wisp of the Demigod Partial Thought was awoken.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be disappointed after understanding everything. This Demigod Partial Thought didn¡¯t seem to have much value, and it had no control over the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    ¡°Junior, don¡¯t underestimate me. Being a Demigod Partial Thought, I know the Demigod Forgotten Garden better than anyone else. Most importantly, I have a slight chance of recovering as the Demigod.¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought immediately said. Right now, it was extremely weak, and it was worried Zhao Feng might kill it if it had no value.


    ¡°Recover as the Demigod?¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised when he heard that. After all, it was just a Partial Thought. Even the Purple Saint Partial Spirit couldn¡¯t do something like that even if it were at full power.


    ¡°I will be able to use Rebirth from Blood if I get the Demigod¡¯s blood.¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought said in a superior tone.


    Rebirth from Blood?


    Zhao Feng had heard of this legend, and the books in the Hidden Book Room had something about it as well. In theory, a drop of Demigod¡¯s blood and a Demigod Partial Thought could indeed bring about a rebirth, but the chance of it reaching its peak strength again was extremely small.


    ¡°Hehe, you actually know the news about the Demigod¡¯s blood? But even if I get it, I¡¯ll just use it on myself.¡±


    Zhao Feng snickered. It looks like the Demigod Partial Thought had understood some of his memories.


    ¡°You¡¯re wasting it! Once I¡¯m reborn, I can awaken the Demigod¡¯s abilities, including inheritances and memories!¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought said furiously.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t disagree. He went silent. Without a doubt, if a Demigod was reborn, its value would be far more than a drop of Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Simply put, it was the equivalent of trying to revive the Demigod, but such a plan was also risky.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t sure what to choose, and he didn¡¯t even have the Demigod¡¯s blood right now.


    ¡°Just stay here.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness was about to leave.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought exclaimed, ¡°I¡¯m just a Partial Thought. It¡¯s already incredible for me to gather together, if you don¡¯t do something quickly, I will only be able to survive for a few more days.¡±


    The faint light in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind was extremely dim like it about to vanish at any time.


    Zhao Feng thought for a while and carefully used some water from the lake in his left eye¡¯s dimension to wrap around the Demigod Partial Thought.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline power was Water related, and it had the ability of healing.


    With the help of the water, the faint light stabilized. Zhao Feng then took out a deep green gourd.


    ¡°Green Spiritual Gourd!¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought was overjoyed and dove straight in the Green Spiritual Gourd.


    The Green Spiritual Gourd was more suitable for the Demigod Partial Thought to live in, and to a certain extent, the gourd could heal it.


    In the legends, some Kings and Emperors hid in the Green Spiritual Gourd, and thousands of years later, they stole some bodies and were reborn.


    It wasn¡¯t as if the Demigod Partial Thought couldn¡¯t just stay in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind, but whenever Zhao Feng circulated his eye-bloodline power or was attacked by Soul techniques, the Demigod Partial Thought would be damaged.


    ¡°I also have mermaid tears, Soul Gathering Spirit Grass, and other Soul items.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°Mermaid tears? Soul Gathering Spirit Grass? Quick, give them to me. I can consolidate my state and maybe even become a Partial Spirit.¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought was impatient.


    ¡°There¡¯s no such thing as a free meal. You didn¡¯t help me at all earlier, so why should I help you? Unless¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    ¡°¡­unless you let me become your master.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face didn¡¯t go red, nor did his heart rate increase.


    ¡°You, become my master? Impossible!¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought roared from the Green Spiritual Gourd.


    ¡°Then you can just stay in there forever. Even if I get the Demigod¡¯s blood, you won¡¯t have the chance to revive.¡±


    Zhao Feng said emotionlessly and got up, about to leave the Hidden Book Room.


    Just as he stepped out of the room:


    ¡°Human, you win¡­.¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought sounded like it was gritting its teeth as it said in a helpless tone.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction before putting a small drop of a mermaid tear into the Green Spiritual Gourd.


    The Demigod Partial Thought sucked the energy from the mermaid tear hungrily, and its aura instantly became stronger.


    ¡°Master, how confident are you in getting the Demigod¡¯s blood?¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought asked after absorbing a drop.


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say because the Demigod¡¯s blood has entered the center tomb of the Messy Graveyard.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t certain.


    ¡°Center tomb? You mean¡­ the Demigod¡¯s tomb?¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought was stunned.

 667 Obtain

    Demigod¡¯s tomb?


    Only then did Zhao Feng realize that the center tomb was where the Demigod was lain.


    The Demigod Partial Thought did indeed know the situation within the Demigod Forgotten Garden better.


    ¡°Danger and fortune exist together. The Demigod¡¯s body is in the Demigod¡¯s tomb, but it cannot be revived since there is no life left in it.¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought said mysteriously.


    Zhao Feng knew that the Demigod died mainly from the God Tribulation. It was already a miracle that the body wasn¡¯t turned to dust from the God Tribulation.


    ¡°What do you know about the Demigod¡¯s tomb?¡±


    Zhao Feng asked.


    If it was familiar with the Demigod¡¯s tomb, that could definitely affect Zhao Feng¡¯s and the little thieving cat¡¯s actions.


    ¡°Because I¡¯ve just used the mermaid tears, I¡¯ve recovered some pieces of my memory, including a bit of the map of the Demigod¡¯s tomb.¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought sent some information to Zhao Feng, and the latter nodded his head and gave another drop of a mermaid tear as compensation.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed when he read the information. It seemed that, apart from the dangers such as the spirits of hatred and the guards, there was no fortune here.


    Zhao Feng was about to say something, but his expression changed dramatically.


    His thoughts were sucked in by what was happening at the Demigod¡¯s tomb.


    Within the passage:


    Boom!


    A scarlet-purple spirit of hatred formed a figure of a male who radiated a terrifying aura that almost condensed into reality.


    ¡°An Emperor hatred spirit!¡±


    The expressions of Nan Gongsheng, Meng Xi, and company changed dramatically.


    ¡°Run! This Emperor hatred spirit has exceeded the limit of what we can handle.¡±


    Panic appeared on Wen Luoan¡¯s face for the first time.


    The faint figure of the male brought the pressure of an Emperor, causing their souls to shake.


    Whoosh!


    Using this chance, the Demigod¡¯s blood flew into the darkness into the depths of the tomb. At this point, Wen Luoan, Nan Gongsheng, Meng Xi, and the little thieving cat felt deadly sensations from all directions.


    Shua!


    A transparent eye appeared above the little thieving cat.


    Zhao Feng had already made his decision. If it was too dangerous, he would use Spatial Movement to rescue the little thieving cat. Due to their long companionship, the relationship between the two wasn¡¯t just that of a normal pet and master anymore.


    ¡°I won¡¯t let the little thieving cat be in danger even if it costs the Demigod¡¯s blood.¡±


    Zhao Feng decided. At the same time, he sent the map of the Demigod¡¯s tomb to the little thieving cat.


    Miao!


    When the little thieving cat received the information, it opened its mouth and laughed. It held the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger and the purple horn, then went inside the beast King¡¯s body. This meant that most of the pressure would be taken by the beast King.


    It could be said that the little thieving cat was currently the safest of the lot.


    Wu~~~


    The Emperor hatred spirit flew over, and its pressure made the blood of the geniuses boil. Even the beast King felt troubled and slowed down.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat laughed and controlled the beast King to ram toward a carving on the wall.


    Hit the wall?


    When Nan Gongsheng and company saw the little thieving cat¡¯s actions, they thought that the cat had gone crazy. However, what happened next caused their eyes to bulge out.


    Boom!


    The carving on the wall suddenly revealed a secret passage, which the beast King hid into.


    ¡°Go, go, go!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng and company didn¡¯t think about the Demigod¡¯s blood anymore, they just focused on escaping. Even if the three teamed up, they were unlikely to defeat the Emperor hatred spirit. On top of that, there was a large amount of other hatred spirits around as well.


    Bam!


    The Emperor hatred spirit hit the entrance, but due its huge size, it was rebounded back.


    The materials used to construct the Demigod¡¯s tomb weren¡¯t simple, so normal spirits were unable to pass through walls. However, the Emperor hatred spirit¡¯s Magnificent Power still entered through the soul-dimension and injured Nan Gongsheng and company.


    The little thieving cat was at the very front, and it was inside the beast King¡¯s body, so it wasn¡¯t affected.


    Hu~~


    Nan Gongsheng and company let out a breath. The Emperor hatred spirit didn¡¯t catch up.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on the beast King¡¯s back and led the way with a high-and-mighty attitude.


    ¡°How does this cat know the tomb so well?¡±


    Meng Xi and Wen Luoan looked at each other.


    Follow this cat closely!


    The hearts of the three shook.


    They had lost their sense of direction in the tomb, and now their lives depended on the cat.


    The little thieving cat controlled the beast King and took many turns in the secret passage.


    At a certain moment, the beast King jumped out of the secret passage and dove into a dark underground chamber.


    The chamber was scorched black. Even though this was dozens of millennia later, it still gave off a bone-chilling aura that scared gods and demons.


    There were no signs of any spirits of hatred, Emperors or otherwise, within a radius of a hundred yards.


    The chamber was empty apart from a black, burnt corpse.


    The burnt corpse wasn¡¯t even in the shape of a human anymore. It was like a lump of black charcoal.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!?¡±


    The three King prodigies stared at the burnt corpse, and they felt the forbidden aura here.


    Just a wisp of this forbidden aura made other beings become scared.


    Suppressed! The three King prodigies weren¡¯t able to breathe, and the eyes of the beast King was filled with fear as it trembled in front of the burnt corpse.


    ¡°There¡¯s no signs of life, soul, or True Yuan from this corpse, and yet it can still radiate such a terrifying aura.¡±


    The chamber was dead-silent. Even the area outside was quiet. There were no spirits nearby at all.


    ¡°This corpse is very likely to be the Demigod¡¯s body.¡±


    ¡°The forbidden aura obviously doesn¡¯t come from the corpse itself.¡±


    The eyes of the three King prodigies sparkled as they made their own guesses.


    Shua!


    An eye appeared in the chamber. Zhao Feng felt a forbidden aura that went straight to his heart. This aura seemed to be the nemesis of everything in the world.


    ¡°The body of the Demigod has been completely destroyed. The aura doesn¡¯t come from the body.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    Even though he was using the Eye of Heaven, it couldn¡¯t block the pressure from the forbidden aura.


    ¡°That¡¯s the power of the God Tribulation.¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought¡¯s voice suddenly sounded.


    The power of the God Tribulation.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. No wonder the body of the Demigod wasn¡¯t even in the shape of a human anymore.


    ¡°The Demigod died to the God Tribulation before the tomb was fully prepared.¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought¡¯s voice was sad. After all, he was a Partial Thought of the Demigod¡¯s soul.


    ¡°The body itself isn¡¯t worth much, but the power of the God Tribulation on the body is extremely valuable. It will help with your cultivation of Lightning a lot.¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought said.


    The power of the God Tribulation!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Such a power could even kill Demigods. From that, one could see how valuable it was. Even some Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords and Demigods would be interested in it.


    ¡°80-90% of the Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords trying to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm will be turned to dust, but the Demigod used his body to absorb a large amount of the God Tribulation¡¯s power and his body wasn¡¯t destroyed. From this, one can see how strong he was. He was just a tiny step away from the Heavenly Divine Realm¡­.¡±


    The Demigod Partial Thought sighed.


    Hearing up to there, Zhao Feng understood how precious the power of the God Tribulation was.


    Anyone that had the right to try to breakthrough to the Heavenly Divine Realm was an expert, even then, only one out of ten would have a corpse remaining after the God Tribulation.


    From a certain perspective, it could be said that this corpse with the God Tribulation power was the most valuable thing in the entire Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Even the Demigod¡¯s blood was not worth more since the Demigod¡¯s blood wasn¡¯t of much use to a Mystic Light Realm, whereas the corpse was valuable to both Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords and Demigods.


    ¡°The power of the God Tribulation comes from Divine Lightning. Therefore, the corpse is of much use to me.¡±


    Zhao Feng was extremely excited.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on the beast King and gripped the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger before moving slowly toward the charred corpse.


    Nan Gongsheng and company weren¡¯t dumb. They probably guessed the history of this corpse. After all, it wasn¡¯t much of a secret that the Demigod died to the God Tribulation.


    ¡°The corpse is pretty big. We can cut it together.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    It was too hard to cut it with one person¡¯s power alone. Even the actions of Kings would be restricted greatly in front of the corpse.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    The three King prodigies didn¡¯t decline. They still decided to use the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger together to cut the corpse.


    Weng~~


    A sharp glow appeared below the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger as it stabbed toward the charred corpse below.


    Ding!


    Over 90% of its power was reduced due to the God Tribulation¡¯s power when it landed on the corpse.


    Just a faint scratch was left behind.


    The expressions of the three King prodigies were ugly. If it continued like this, they would probably need a day or two to split the corpse. However, thinking about its value, the three King prodigies didn¡¯t retreat. Putting aside a day or two, even a month or two was worth it.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    The four would team up every four or five breaths and slice toward the burnt corpse. The combined strength of the four on the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger was enough to kill a weak King.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven disappeared from the chamber, but it didn¡¯t disappear from the tomb.


    His eye soon found where the Demigod¡¯s blood was hiding. The consciousness of the Demigod¡¯s blood was extremely weak, but a golden glow appeared around it when it sensed the Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°I¡¯m preparing to obtain the Demigod¡¯s blood.¡±


    Zhao Feng said to the Demigod Partial Thought.


    Spatial Movement!


    A whirlpool enveloped the Demigod¡¯s blood, and the whirlpool had a familiar mental energy aura to it.


    Shua!


    The golden drop of blood was engulfed by the whirlpool and disappeared.


    ¡°The Demigod¡¯s blood is now mine!¡±


    The Eye of Heaven revealed a glint of joy before vanishing.

 668 Who Knows Who Will Die at Whose Hands?

    In the Hidden Book Room, a smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face, ¡°Kun Yun Partial Thought, looks like you¡¯re not completely useless.¡±


    ¡°Kun Yun Partial Thought¡± was the name Zhao Feng had given to the Demigod¡¯s Partial Thought since the owner of the Demigod Forgotten Garden was called Kun Yun.


    In the dimension of his left eye, a faint golden drop of blood floated in the pitch-black area. It was the Demigod¡¯s blood essence.


    The process of obtaining the Demigod¡¯s blood had been much easier than expected. The Demigod¡¯s blood had its own consciousness, so it felt respectful and fearful toward the mental energy aura of its owner. The Kun Yun Partial Thought was split from the Demigod¡¯s spirit, so it obviously had the same aura as the Demigod¡¯s spirit.


    Hearing Zhao Feng call himself ¡°not completely useless,¡± the Kun Yun Partial Thought had an urge to cough out blood. A majestic Demigod Partial Thought only had an impression of ¡°useless¡± on Zhao Feng.


    Although there was still a difference between the Kun Yun Partial Thought and a Partial Spirit, it still had its own thoughts and a small amount of memories.


    ¡°Master, now that you¡¯ve obtained the Demigod¡¯s blood, I can revive.¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought said expectantly.


    When one reached the Demigod rank, even if their bodies had been broken, they could Rebirth from Blood as long as there was a single drop of blood remaining. Of course, this was under the basis that there was at least one mental energy thought still out there.


    Now, the Kun Yun Partial Thought and the Demigod¡¯s blood had fulfilled the requirements.


    The Demigod¡¯s blood was blood essence of the Demigod, and the Kun Yun Partial Thought wasn¡¯t just a normal mental energy thought; it had its own thoughts and memories. It was almost at the Partial Spirit level.


    ¡°Reviving from blood. This is a legendary heaven-defying method.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked forward to it, but this couldn¡¯t be handled casually. Putting aside anything else, the power contained within the Demigod¡¯s blood was too strong. Who knows how strong the Kun Yun Partial Thought would become after reviving.


    ¡°We¡¯ll discuss that after we leave the Demigod Forgotten Garden.¡±


    Zhao Feng answered.


    He had his own thoughts, but one thing was for sure ¨C he wouldn¡¯t give all the Demigod¡¯s blood to the Kun Yun Partial Thought to revive. He needed to increase his own strength as well as weaken the revived Demigod Kun Yun.


    There¡¯s still two and a half days till the Demigod Forgotten Garden closes.


    Zhao Feng thought.


    His main focus wasn¡¯t on gathering treasures anymore.


    ¡°Who knows who will die at whose hands in the Pursuit of Death?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face went cold with killing intent as he looked at the direction of the Demigod¡¯s tomb.


    At the same moment, within the chamber of the Demigod¡¯s tomb, the three King prodigies and the little thieving cat teamed up to cut the charred corpse, but Wen Luoan suddenly felt a coldness.


    His Ten Thousand Ancient Races legendary bloodline had extremely sharp senses toward danger.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven appeared within the chamber with a faint glint.


    The three King prodigies were used to the Eye of Heaven appearing, but the emotion in the eye made them feel defeated. The three probably wouldn¡¯t have even imagined that Zhao Feng had successfully obtained the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Zhao Feng would do his best to hide the secret of the Demigod¡¯s blood since he how he had a plan to revive the Demigod.


    If this secret was known to the world, the entire True Martial Sacred Land would be shocked. Reviving a Demigod ¨C how terrifying was this plan?


    ¡°I just want the head of the Demigod¡¯s body.¡±


    The Eye of Heaven said emotionlessly as it floated in the air.


    The reason he wanted the head was because the head faced most of the power from the God Tribulation. Zhao Feng knew all that from the Kun Yun Partial Thought.


    ¡°Hmph, why do you get to choose first?¡±


    Meng Xi snickered coldly, but she didn¡¯t actually think much about it. Meng Xi was just really dissatisfied with Zhao Feng. This person had stolen the hidden card her master had prepared for her, then used this card to become on par with the other three King prodigies.


    ¡°You guys wouldn¡¯t have even been able to enter this place safely without the little thieving cat¡¯s guidance. Furthermore, I¡¯ve read all the books within the Hidden Book Room, so I know more information about the Demigod¡¯s tomb than you.¡±


    Zhao Feng said confidently.


    Demigod¡¯s tomb?


    The three King prodigies exchanged glances. It seemed that Zhao Feng did indeed know a lot about the center tomb.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had finished reading all the books in the Hidden Book Room? Although it seemed kind of retarded, Zhao Feng obtaining some fortune from that was within expectations.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a head.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng shrugged his shoulders. He and Zhao Feng were on the same side anyway.


    The three King prodigies agreed to Zhao Feng taking the head.


    ¡°But, Zhao Feng, since you know so much about the Demigod¡¯s tomb, you need to take us out safely.¡±


    Meng Xi required.


    They had lost their sense of direction after entering the tomb, and it would be full of danger if they just randomly left after splitting the corpse.


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    A faint glint appeared in the eye, but Zhao Feng snickered coldly.


    In reality, as long as one had a single part of the Demigod¡¯s body, the aura of the God Tribulation would make the spirits run away. However, the three King prodigies were focused on splitting the corpse, so they hadn¡¯t thought of that yet.


    Time flew by quickly, and almost two days passed.


    The Demigod¡¯s body had finally been split up.


    Zhao Feng chose the Demigod¡¯s head and let the little thieving cat take it. Wen Luoan took the legs, Meng Xi took the arms, leaving the torso to Nan Gongsheng.


    ¡°There¡¯s still one more day till the Demigod Forgotten Garden closes.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng said.


    One more day.


    Wen Luoan and Meng Xi looked at each other.


    ¡°The body parts of the Demigod can repel the spirits.¡±


    Wen Luoan said.


    After obtaining the parts of the Demigod¡¯s corpse, they realized this, which meant that they wouldn¡¯t rely on Zhao Feng¡¯s information about the Demigod¡¯s tomb too much.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on the beast King and was the first to depart.


    ¡°Follow it.¡±


    Wen Luoan and Meng Xi followed closely behind. After a bit of thinking, Nan Gongsheng did so as well.


    The little thieving cat had become the leader of this party.


    That Zhao Feng has information on the Demigod¡¯s tomb, and he definitely wouldn¡¯t give up on the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven has the biggest advantage since it¡¯s in the air. Maybe he¡¯s already found the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    The three King prodigies had their own thoughts.


    Regardless, they needed to follow the cat.


    Miao!


    Playfulness and mockery appeared in the little thieving cat¡¯s eyes as it looked toward the three King prodigies.


    However, under Zhao Feng¡¯s command, the little thieving cat still needed to put on a show, so it started to ¡°search¡± the Demigod¡¯s tomb.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven occasionally appeared, as if helping the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat pretended to shake off the three King prodigies but ended in ¡°failure¡± every time.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, have you found the Demigod¡¯s blood or not?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng messaged.


    ¡°The layout of the Demigod¡¯s tomb is too complex and the Demigod¡¯s blood is too small. I don¡¯t know which corner it might be hiding in.¡±


    Zhao Feng answered.


    Although he said that, Zhao Feng still made the little thieving cat act as if it was bent on finding the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    They obviously met spirits of hatred on the way, but the parts of the Demigod¡¯s body scared them away. However, there were exceptions. There were Emperor hatred spirits that were wary of the Demigod¡¯s corpse and wouldn¡¯t go close to it, but they would unleash long-range attacks.


    The three King prodigies were extremely ruffled when facing an Emperor hatred spirit, so they ran while still searching.


    Unknowingly, the little thieving cat had led the group to the entrance of the tomb.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat had a drooping head as it left the Demigod¡¯s tomb on the beast King¡¯s back.


    The three King prodigies were full of helplessness and disappointment, but they had to give up on the Demigod¡¯s blood. The size of the Demigod¡¯s blood was just too small. After losing track of it, it would be like finding a needle in the middle of the ocean.


    Furthermore, the Demigod¡¯s tomb was full of danger. If it weren¡¯t for the Demigod¡¯s corpse warding away the spirits, the three King prodigies may have died in there.


    At the entrance of the tomb, Wen Luoan¡¯s eyes glittered with coldness as it looked in the direction of the little thieving cat.


    The warm youth and Meng Xi started to talk.


    ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll help you take care of that brat.¡±


    Coldness appeared on Meng Xi¡¯s gorgeous face. She didn¡¯t like Zhao Feng because of both private and public matters.


    In a private matter, Zhao Feng had stolen her purple horn, and as for public relations, Zhao Feng was a genius of the Mystic True Sacred Clan, and he was a large dark horse among the geniuses.


    From conquering the Purple Smoke Lake to obtaining the Sky Locking Bow, then finally clashing with the three King prodigies. These steps proved how scary he was.


    Of course, she didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng had also obtained the Demigod¡¯s blood, otherwise it wouldn¡¯t just be a rating of dark horse, but the biggest winner.


    ¡°I can sense the direction of that brat. Even though there¡¯s only one day left, that¡¯s enough time to kill him.¡±


    Wen Luoan¡¯s smile was deadly.


    As the two were planning:


    Miao!


    The beast King that the little thieving cat sat on suddenly stopped and became cold.


    Boom!


    The beast King released a Magnificent Power that pressured the warm youth.


    Hmm?


    The heart of the warm youth skipped a beat.


    Roar~~~


    The beast King charged toward the warm youth.


    Only 70% of its power could be used, so the warm youth wasn¡¯t sacred. However, his expression changed dramatically the next instant.


    ¡°Soul Restriction!¡±


    A cold, transparent blue eye floated above the two.


    Wen Luoan¡¯s body froze as dark purple chains of lightning restricted his soul.


    This was a controlling type technique that Zhao Feng had comprehended from the Dark Eye Secret Manual.


    The Soul Restriction¡¯s target was obviously the soul.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    Wen Luoan opened the bloodline of his Heaven Sun Battle Race and started to glow like a golden war god. However, under the Eye of Heaven state, Zhao Feng had true King intent, so the Soul Restriction was enough to restrict anyone below the Void God Realm.


    Wen Luoan struggled, and the chains started to shake, but they wouldn¡¯t be broken for a while.


    ¡°Nightmare Dimension!¡±


    Meng Xi obviously wouldn¡¯t just sit there and watch. She used her Soul bloodline in order to break through Zhao Feng¡¯s Soul Restriction.


    But right at this moment:


    Shua!


    A silver figure appeared next to the warm youth along with a disturbance of space.


    Nan Gongsheng!


    The expressions of Wen Luoan and Meng Xi changed dramatically.


    ¡°Mystic Spatial Split!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng¡¯s expression was cold as he sent a sharp silver spatial crack toward the warm youth.

 669 Battle

    In just a short span of time, the sudden changes made the warm youth and Meng Xi unable to react. The beast King, the Eye of Heaven, and Nan Gongsheng had attacked at almost the exact time toward Wen Luoan.


    Just a second ago, Wen Luoan and Meng Xi were discussing how to kill Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    The Eye of Heaven in the sky revealed a glint of mockery. How could Zhao Feng be unaware of the enmity from the warm youth and Meng Xi?


    It wasn¡¯t Zhao Feng¡¯s attitude to go on the defensive. The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s biggest advantage was its control.


    The Eye of Heaven allowed Zhao Feng to be safe while still being a level higher than the three King prodigies.


    It was best to attack first rather than wait to be attacked. Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t so dumb that he would allow Meng Xi and the warm youth to reach him.


    Zhao Feng had already convinced Nan Gongsheng to help him before they left the tomb.


    Although a lot seemed to happen, all of it was done in an instant. Nan Gongsheng and the beast King¡¯s attacks landed at the same time.


    Crack!


    The Mystic Spatial Split from Nan Gongsheng landed on the neck of the warm youth.


    A crack appeared on the warm youth¡¯s golden skin and blood started to seep out.


    Boom!


    However, the beast King was stopped by Meng Xi, so only a shockwave landed on the warm youth.


    The warm youth managed to survive with only light injuries from the first round of attacks. However, he hadn¡¯t fully escaped danger yet. Nan Gongsheng alone was enough to trouble him, not to mention the Eye of Heaven in the sky that was radiating a King intent and restricting his soul.


    Ding!


    A dark flash slashed across the warm youth¡¯s face and left a bloody gash.


    Being one of the top-one-hundred bloodlines, the Heaven Sun Battle Race¡¯s offense and defense had reached perfection. With the protection of the Heaven Sun Battle Race, the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger and Nan Gongsheng¡¯s attack didn¡¯t cause critical damage.


    ¡°Nightmare Dimension!¡±


    A dreamy haze appeared around Meng Xi and covered everyone in the fight.


    Everyone covered by the dreamy light seemed to be submerged in the ocean and suppressed by the waves nearby.


    The attacks of Nan Gongsheng and the beast King were slowed down.


    The scenery within the Nightmare realm had affected reality.


    It was like saying that the defending side in the ocean would have an advantage.


    ¡°As expected of a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. It¡¯s extremely difficult to kill one of them when those two team up.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh as his Eye of Heaven gazed down.


    All his energy was spent on restricting Wen Luoan.


    ¡°Qiankun Sword!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng roared and waved the inheritance sacred weapon, causing Heaven and Earth to shake. Even the Nightmare Dimension was affected.


    The Qiankun Sword turned into a brilliant streak of light that hit the warm youth.


    Wam!


    Wen Luoan¡¯s body shook, and blood leaked from his mouth as the golden glow around his body became dimmer.


    ¡°Good job!¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. Nan Gongsheng was indeed worthy of being the strongest prodigy in the Sacred Land.


    Without a doubt, Nan Gongsheng¡¯s battle-power was the strongest amongst everyone here.


    Meng Xi and Wen Luoan could only stall him.


    ¡°Blood Sun Battling Sun!¡±


    Wen Luoan gave a deep roar as his Heaven Sun Battle Bloodline started to burn.


    In that instant, Wen Luoan¡¯s mental energy intent and True Yuan increased to a brand new level.


    Weng~~


    A blood-colored sun appeared above Wen Luoan¡¯s head and gave off a golden glow as the limitless power of Heaven and Earth became his.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Even Zhao Feng¡¯s spiritual eye-bloodline technique felt a strong pressure.


    In an instant, Wen Luoan¡¯s battle-power doubled.


    The sun above his head had increased his battle-power to the level of a true King.


    Even actual Kings would be stunned by what they saw.


    Luckily, the bloodline only strengthened his battle-power; it didn¡¯t have much of an effect on his soul. However, even then, Zhao Feng¡¯s Soul Restriction felt trouble.


    Boom!


    The Qiankun Sword and Wen Luoan¡¯s fist clashed and caused a shockwave to blow across half a mile.


    ¡°My god¡­!¡±


    The hearts of the nearby geniuses who saw this trembled.


    Whoosh!


    Nan Gongsheng retreated a yard or two, and his face became solemn.


    Meng Xi¡¯s Nightmare Dimension had restricted the agility of his attacks.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, these two both have a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. It¡¯ll be extremely hard to kill Wen Luoan.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng messaged.


    Wen Luoan¡¯s battle-power and defense had reached an extreme.


    ¡°His bloodline secret technique shouldn¡¯t be able to last very long. Just stall him.¡±


    Zhao Feng said without losing his calmness.


    ¡°Open!¡±


    The sun above Wen Luoan released a large amount of power that increased his mental energy intent and strength.


    The dark purple chains of lightning restricting him became extremely faint.


    ¡°Get ready for my next critical strike.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven said.


    In the next instant:


    Crack!


    The purple chains of lightning around Wen Luoan started to disintegrate. He was filled with joy and was just about to attack, but just as he moved, his head started to hurt.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    A sharp blade glittering with Purple Destruction Wind Lightning and a sizzle of scarlet pierced through Wen Luoan¡¯s head.


    Shu~~~


    The slash had gone straight through the center of his head, causing blood to splatter everywhere.


    ¡°What!?¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s face lost its color.


    Wu~~


    Wen Luoan¡¯s body froze as a golden glow started to recover the injury. However, the Void Space Eye Slash now contained the intent of Scarlet Destruction, which had a continuous burning effect.


    ¡°Mystic Spatial Slice!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng paused for a moment before sending another silver streak into Wen Luoan¡¯s head.


    Boom!


    More blood flew out from Wen Luoan¡¯s head as the silver streak sunk in.


    This was all due to the fact that Zhao Feng¡¯s Void Space Eye Slash had pieced it from within.


    The combination of attacks was perfect, but it still wasn¡¯t over.


    Whoosh!


    A dark dagger stabbed into the back of Wen Luoan¡¯s head.


    This was the little thieving cat¡¯s Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger.


    This meant that the injury on Wen Luoan¡¯s head now went from one side straight to the other.


    ¡°Arghh~~~!¡±


    The warm youth screamed and started to shake.


    Meng Xi was stunned by this scene, and her starry eyes were full of fear.


    If that attack had landed on her, she probably would¡¯ve died.


    Bam!


    The golden light in the sky split, leaving a hundred-yard-wide crater in the ground.


    It was hard to imagine how strong the force was to create such a big area of damage in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Nan Gongsheng and the little thieving cat raised their heads and chased after a golden streak of light.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I¡¯m going to split your body into ten thousand pieces!¡±


    The warm youth¡¯s face was twisted with murderous intent as he charged toward Zhao Feng¡¯s location.


    Because of the Eye of Death¡¯s intent, he could sense where Zhao Feng was at.


    Shua!


    An eye appeared in the clouds.


    Through the Eye of Heaven, Zhao Feng realized that the injury on the warm youth¡¯s head hadn¡¯t fully healed yet.


    ¡°That amount of damage could¡¯ve already killed ten half-step Kings.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    Those with a top-one-hundred Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline couldn¡¯t be measured normally.


    ¡°Ice Soul Shooting Line!¡±


    A cold ray of light descended from the eye and into the warm youth¡¯s body.


    The warm youth started to stagger. Before he could react:


    ¡°Divine Light of Destruction!¡±


    A brilliant, sharp green beam of light hit the sun above the warm youth¡¯s head.


    Boom!


    The sun above Wen Luoan¡¯s head became unstable as a bit of it dispersed and became dimmer.


    Using the Divine Light of Destruction, Zhao Feng weakened Wen Luoan¡¯s secret technique.


    Right at this moment, Nan Gongsheng used his spatial skills and flashed through the air, then slashed toward the injury on Wen Luoan¡¯s head with his Qiankun Sword.


    Meng Xi was momentarily stalled by the little thieving cat and the beast King.


    ¡°Good, Meng Xi and Wen Luoan have been split up.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    He was lucky that he had an ally as strong as Nan Gongsheng.


    In the air above the Demigod Forgotten Garden, the battle caused the geniuses below to be stunned.


    No matter how Wen Luoan evaded or dodged, he couldn¡¯t escape the Eye of Heaven and Nan Gongsheng.


    Nan Gongsheng¡¯s spatial talent included spatial movement techniques, so he could follow closely behind the warm youth.


    The Eye of Heaven gazed down from the sky and had a wide perspective.


    At this moment in time, Wen Luoan was being beaten.


    ¡°Nan Gongsheng and that giant eyeball are teaming up.¡±


    ¡°Why does that eye look like Brother Zhao¡¯s eyes?¡±


    The geniuses of the Mystic True Sacred Clan noticed more than the others.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The warm youth took many hits, and he was full of injuries, but he still charged toward the direction of the Hidden Book Room with murderous intent.


    Four hours later, the warm youth had finally arrived at the Hidden Book Room. There were only a couple dozen yards between Zhao Feng and Wen Luoan.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    Another blade pierced through the injury in Wen Luoan¡¯s brain.


    Shu~~~


    Wen Luoan¡¯s golden skin broke once more. Blood splattered out, and the golden light around his body faded by a lot.


    ¡°Zhao¡­ Zhao Feng!¡±


    Wen Luoan¡¯s bloodied body staggered toward the Hidden Book Room.


    Everyone nearby could see that the warm youth was on the verge of death.


    Nan Gongsheng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, and he stopped attacking. He was extremely proud, so he wasn¡¯t willing to attack a genius of the same era who was about to die.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, even if I die, I will take you down with me!¡±


    Wen Luoan¡¯s True Yuan started to burn, and a golden sun appeared behind him.


    Not good!


    Nan Gongsheng¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    Shua!


    Nan Gongsheng instantly used his spatial skills and retreated.


    The instant he retreated, he saw the golden sun and Wen Luoan merge before creating an explosion that covered the entire Hidden Book Room.


    Boooom!


    The Hidden Book Room was engulfed by golden flames.


    Even Kings would be turned into dust in front of this force. The entire Hidden Book Room was turned into flat ground.


    This was the first time in history that a building in the Forgotten Garden had been completely destroyed.


    Wah!


    Nan Gongsheng was hit by a shockwave and spat out a mouthful of blood before landing on the ground.


    It was hard to imagine how much force Zhao Feng, who was in the center of the explosion, faced.


    At the same instant, the space of the Demigod Forgotten Garden started to flow.


    ¡°The Demigod Forgotten Garden will now close.¡±

 670 Lightning Wings Flying Technique

    The explosion made the hearts of the nearby geniuses go cold.


    The Hidden Book Room turned into dust, and the golden flames kept on burning.


    No one could see the warm youth or Zhao Feng. There were no signs of any bodies anywhere.


    The nearby geniuses couldn¡¯t help but feel sympathetic and unresigned. Both Zhao Feng and Wen Luoan were powerful dark horses.


    ¡°Both dead¡­. So unfortunate¡­.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng looked toward the golden flames that had turned everything into dust.


    He had to admit that the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were monstrous.


    Wen Luoan had been able to charge over to Zhao Feng¡¯s location and unleash a suicide attack even after being ruthlessly beaten by Nan Gongsheng and the Eye of Heaven.


    Boom!


    The dimension of the Demigod Forgotten Garden started to tremble, and lights started to flash.


    Miao miao!


    The beast King and the little thieving cat quickly flew over. Meng Xi also rushed over.


    ¡°They¡¯re both dead?¡±


    Meng Xi was slightly dazed. She was tired and had already given up on fighting.


    ¡°Little cat, now that your owner¡¯s dead, why don¡¯t you become my spiritual pet?¡±


    Meng Xi¡¯s starry eyes turned toward the little thieving cat. Although she was angry at the cat, she was moved by its abilities.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat licked its lips as it looked toward the sky. Everyone else followed its gaze and looked toward the sky as well.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!?¡±


    A blue-haired youth with a pair of wings made of wind and lightning floated in the sky. He was surrounded by a sparkle of blue energy. The face of the blue-haired youth was pale-white and weak.


    ¡°Zhao¡­ Zhao Feng!¡±


    The expressions of Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi changed dramatically.


    That¡¯s right, the blue-haired youth in the sky was indeed Zhao Feng.


    Lightning Wings Flying Technique.


    The wings behind Zhao Feng fluttered.


    Shua!


    Space seemed to break, and the next instant, a flash appeared next to Nan Gongsheng.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡±


    Nan Gongsheng exclaimed as he looked at the blue-haired youth amidst the light.


    Apart from Nan Gongsheng, Meng Xi, and a small number of other geniuses, no one else saw how Zhao Feng moved.


    A weird light flashed through the little thieving cat¡¯s eyes.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wings Flying Technique was an evolved form of the Wings of Wind and Lightning. It was a profound secret technique. However, it wasn¡¯t hard to tell that part of the skill had been based off of Nan Gongsheng¡¯s and the little thieving cat¡¯s spatial techniques.


    The Lightning Wings Flying Technique had already been partially formed when he was in the Mermaid Divine Palace. After that, Zhao Feng had comprehended King intent, and he later inspected Nan Gongsheng¡¯s technique, then he finally completed the Lightning Wings Flying Technique.


    Zhao Feng had already sensed that the warm youth was about to use a suicide-attack. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw the changes in Wen Luoan¡¯s blood and True Yuan. Therefore, at the critical moment, Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and managed to escape.


    However, Zhao Feng was still hit by the shockwave of Wen Luoan¡¯s explosion.


    Bo~~


    The ripple of water around Zhao Feng undulated as it recovered his injuries.


    ¡°Brother Nan Gongsheng, this is for your help.¡±


    Zhao Feng took out ten pieces of Purple Scaled Grass and a mermaid teardrop, then handed them to Nan Gongsheng.


    The eyes of everyone that saw this almost fell out, and Meng Xi suddenly understood why Nan Gongsheng helped Zhao Feng kill Wen Luoan.


    Before Meng Xi and Wen Luoan had even finished their planning, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng attacked and caught them off guard.


    ¡°You are very strong.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng took the Purple Scaled Grass and mermaid tear before giving Zhao Feng a deep look. He could see that Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wings Flying Technique was partially based on his own spatial techniques.


    The first time he paid attention to Zhao Feng was at the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower when Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline had taken the Sky Locking Bow away. At that moment, he started to truly pay attention to this Junior Martial Brother of his.


    ¡°Senior Martial Brother Nan Gongsheng is too kind. You are the number one genius of the Sacred Land.¡±


    Zhao Feng said humbly.


    Without Nan Gongsheng¡¯s help, he wouldn¡¯t have been the warm youth¡¯s match.


    On the other side, Meng Xi¡¯s face was mixed with unwillingness and wariness.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng didn¡¯t attack Meng Xi. Her master was a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord, so no one wanted to offend her too much.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat threw the purple horn into Meng Xi¡¯s hand. The Forgotten Garden was about to close, so the purple horn had no value until the next opening five hundred years later.


    ¡°Hmph!¡±


    Meng Xi caught the purple horn and stared at Zhao Feng, as if she wanted to memorize this bastard¡¯s face. Zhao Feng remained unmoved.


    ¡°Wen Luoan,¡± Zhao Feng spoke slowly, ¡°one day, we will switch perspectives. Who knows who will be the predator and who will be the prey?¡±


    Hearing that, the hearts of many people shook. They finally realized that, although the golden flames had dimmed down, they hadn¡¯t extinguished yet.


    Weng~~


    The golden flames started to condense and form into a ball of fire, revealing the image of a burning youth.


    ¡°What!!!?¡±


    The geniuses of the Sacred Land exclaimed.


    ¡°Rebirth from flames?¡±


    Meng Xi gazed at the body of the warm youth that started to condense.


    Wen Luoan¡¯s face was as white as paper as he half-knelt on the ground.


    Zhao Feng realized that Wen Luoan¡¯s cultivation had dropped from the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm to the early-stage Great Origin Core Realm. It almost fell to the Small Origin Core Realm.


    However, at this moment, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t attack the warm youth. Almost all of his eye-bloodline power had been used up.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, our fight¡¯s just begun. If it weren¡¯t for Nan Gongsheng, you would¡¯ve died in my hands long ago.¡±


    Wen Luoan¡¯s pale face was filled with unwillingness.


    Right at this moment, the space of the Demigod Forgotten Garden was enveloped by a multi-colored light.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The figures of the geniuses started to fade and disappear from the Forgotten Garden.


    Zhao Feng and company felt the Magnificent Power from the Demigod intent.


    ¡°Unfortunately, the Demigod¡¯s intent has merged with the Forgotten Garden, and it will only follow the rules set down when the Demigod was alive.¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought murmured.


    The Demigod intent was extremely fair like the Heavenly Dao. It had no consciousness or thoughts; it just followed the rules.


    Zhao Feng knew that, if the Kun Yun Partial Thought was able to obtain the Demigod intent, his strength after reviving would increase by quite a lot.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure started to become transparent, but just as it was about to fade from the Forgotten Garden, a shocking Demigod intent crushed over, and Zhao Feng¡¯s figure seemed to suddenly freeze in the air.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    He knew that the Demigod intent was a god in the Forgotten Garden and ruled over everything. If the Demigod intent wanted to kill someone, even Void God Realm Kings wouldn¡¯t be able to fight back.


    At this moment, the Kun Yun Partial Thought and the Demigod¡¯s blood in the Green Spiritual Gourd trembled, but luckily, the Magnificent Power only paused on Zhao Feng for half a breath.


    A breath later:


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s transparent figure disappeared from the Forgotten Garden.


    Back in the True Martial Sacred Land, on the Ten Thousand Sacred Peak:


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    One genius after another appeared.


    ¡°I¡¯m finally back. The rewards from the Forgotten Garden weren¡¯t bad.¡±


    Voices sounded in the crowd.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure also appeared amongst them, but no one realized that Zhao Feng appeared slightly after them.


    Cold sweat still remained on his forehead. The descent of the Demigod intent scared him quite a bit.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao, you are the biggest dark horse this time.¡±


    Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company looked over gratefully.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao helped a lot this time.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, without Junior Martial Brother Zhao, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to enter and conquer the Mermaid Kingdom.¡±


    Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and company were extremely grateful to him, and they even admired him.


    Zhao Feng raised a lot of attention from the Mystic True Sacred Clan¡¯s side.


    Under Zhao Feng¡¯s guidance, Chen Yilin and company were able to enter the Mermaid Kingdom and obtain mermaid tears, the Illusion God Wine, and other items, allowing them to recreate the success from several thousand years ago. This made others extremely envious.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao, thank you for the Purple Scaled Grass and the mermaid tears.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng smiled and said.


    The Purple Scaled Grass could perfectly decrease the difference between his bloodline ability and Meng Xi¡¯s and the warm youth¡¯s. It allowed him to have a defensive bloodline, while the mermaid tears could cleanse his soul, which was useful since Nan Gongsheng had just formed King intent.


    Zhao Feng nodded in return. He guessed that Nan Gongsheng would become a Void God Realm King soon.


    Above the Sacred Peak, Zhao Feng became the center of attention, and there wasn¡¯t any lack of girls hinting at him.


    Brother Nan¡¯s and Dong Wenjian¡¯s expressions were slightly ugly. At the beginning, when Zhao Feng didn¡¯t join their group, Brother Nan and company mocked him, but now, the people in his group couldn¡¯t help but feel regret.


    Dong Wenjian¡¯s guts went green with regret. He and Zhao Feng both had the same master, so if he chose to follow Zhao Feng at that time, he would at least have gotten a small share of the rewards obtained in the Mermaid Kingdom.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Above the Sacred Peak, the elders of some forces appeared, including many Kings. They were worried about the safety of their juniors and curious about their rewards.


    Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, Chen Yilin, and company were not only the biggest winners from the Mystic True Sacred Clan, they were the biggest winners in the entire True Martial Sacred Land.


    The Kings and Emperors were surprised at Zhao Feng¡¯s performance.


    In terms of rewards, Zhao Feng was on par with Nan Gongsheng, perhaps even a bit more. Of course, no one knew that he had gotten the Demigod¡¯s blood as well.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng followed the group from the Mystic True Sacred Clan and returned to their main Spiritual Peak.


    ¡°Master¡­¡±


    Just as he entered his room, the Kun Yun Partial Thought¡¯s voice sounded. It was full of excitement.


    ¡°What?¡±


    Zhao Feng put his Divine Sense into the Green Spiritual Gourd within the ancient metal ring, and he jumped up in shock by what he saw.


    There was another source of mental energy power in the Green Spiritual Gourd apart from the Kun Yun Partial Thought and the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    ¡°The Demigod intent!¡±

 671 Demigod Revival Plan

    The extra mental energy aura from within the Green Spiritual Gourd made Zhao Feng take in a cold breath.


    The Demigod¡¯s blood and the Kun Yun Partial Thought were both trembling ¨C the latter due to excitement.


    ¡°How the hell did the Demigod intent get out?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart trembled.


    The Demigod intent was a source of mental energy, and it had the comprehension of the Demigod.


    Luckily, this was only a pure source of mental energy, so it didn¡¯t have its own consciousness.


    Zhao Feng and the Kun Yun Partial Thought started to talk and guessed the reason.


    The Magnificent Power of the Demigod intent descended the moment Zhao Feng left, and it was in that moment that the Demigod intent split itself and flew into the Green Spiritual Gourd.


    But why would the Demigod intent follow Zhao Feng? Zhao Feng guessed that it was because he had the Demigod¡¯s blood and the Kun Yun Partial Thought.


    The Demigod¡¯s blood was the Demigod¡¯s essence while the Kun Yun Partial Thought was the Demigod¡¯s consciousness. When the two combined, they released the aura of the Demigod¡¯s body and mental energy.


    Coincidentally, the Demigod intent also belonged to the Demigod, and after sensing the aura of its ¡°owner,¡± followed Zhao Feng instinctively. It was because of this that part of the Demigod intent left the Demigod Forgotten Garden and entered the Green Spiritual Gourd.


    ¡°Master, with this Demigod intent, I have a chance of reaching my peak if I revive.¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought said energetically. This was because the Demigod intent contained the Demigod¡¯s comprehension of Heaven and Earth, and it was a large source of mental energy.


    According to Zhao Feng¡¯s guesses, this part of the Demigod intent was comparable to a complete King intent, and since it came from a Demigod, it was even more unique, which meant that this source of Demigod intent could suppress King intent.


    But after the Demigod revives, I will face a certain amount of risk and danger, especially from this Demigod intent.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he started to think about how he would start the Demigod revival plan and decrease the amount of risk. How would a Demigod be willing to be Zhao Feng¡¯s subordinate?


    ¡°Master, if I revive with this Demigod intent, I might be able to enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden as I please and even control it.¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought tried its best to persuade Zhao Feng.


    Control the Demigod Forgotten Garden?


    When Zhao Feng heard that, his heart jumped.


    The Demigod Forgotten Garden was much better the Purple Saint Ruins, and even Void God Realm Emperors and Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords were interested. If it was able to control the Demigod Forgotten Garden, he would have a ton of resources to help his cultivation.


    ¡°I will start the Demigod revival plan, but not right now.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He didn¡¯t lose his calm.


    With his current strength, reviving the Demigod and controlling the Demigod Forgotten Garden would only be bad for him. How could the three-star super-clans and the thirty-three two-star sects let a junior that wasn¡¯t even a King control everything in the Demigod Forgotten Garden?


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng started to recover his injuries and organize the spoils of war he got in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Over this period of time, Zhao Feng was also being annoyed every day.


    Ever since the ending of the Demigod Forgotten Garden, people were constantly coming to visit him.


    At the start was Dong Wenjian. After him were some other Core disciples, and there were even Kings and Emperors.


    Most of them were interested in what Zhao Feng had received in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Some Kings and Emperors hinted that they wanted to trade items for the Sky Locking Bow or use the head of the Demigod¡¯s corpse.


    Many geniuses also needed the Immortal Springs Wine, the mermaid tears, and the Purple Scaled Grass. Some Kings and Emperors came personally in order to get items for their disciples.


    Some middle-echelon half-step Kings were also extremely interested in his items as well.


    The Purple Scaled Grass could give another bloodline. This was extremely attractive even to Kings.


    The number of treasures Zhao Feng had gathered from the Purple Smoke Lake was countless. Although some of them might not be as rare as the Illusion God Wine, any one of them could make the eyes of normal Sovereigns go red.


    Over the last couple days, Zhao Feng¡¯s doorstep was almost broken from being stepped on too much.


    Zhao Feng agreed to some but declined others.


    He didn¡¯t want to offend these Kings and Emperors. However, Zhao Feng would never trade the Sky Locking Bow or the Demigod¡¯s corpse. He also needed to preserve some Illusion God Wine and mermaid tears since he wanted to give some to Zhao Yufei. Her body was extremely compatible with Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, she only lacked comprehension and soul-strength.


    To get rid of all these troubles, Zhao Feng had to leave the place he was staying and enter Emperor Duanmu¡¯s palace. Although Emperor Duanmu hadn¡¯t returned, this was still his place, and he had a Void God Projection here.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s days finally got a bit better.


    The butler of the Emperor¡¯s palace helped Zhao Feng stop most visitors. Even Kings and Emperors didn¡¯t dare to trouble Zhao Feng too much when they saw the Void God Projection.


    In a quiet place inside the Emperor¡¯s palace, Zhao Feng was sitting while three cups floated above his hand.


    One was a purple-colored cup, another was made from red wood, and the last was a green-bronze flask. These three items were respectively: the Illusion God Wine, the Dragon Flame Wine, and Lightning Cloud Wine.


    All three were on the same tier as each other, and they came from the Demigod¡¯s underground wine cellar.


    ¡°The Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine can increase my comprehension of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.¡±


    Zhao Feng had his own plan.


    Apart from these two types of wine, he also had the head of the Demigod, which contained the aura and power of the God Tribulation lightning. Such powerful lightning might be able to perfect the power of his Wind Lightning Inheritance.


    The lightning from the God Tribulation could be said to be the most terrifying power of lightning in the world.


    ¡°Hmph. Lei Zhen from the Ten Thousand Lightning Clan? Maybe I¡¯ll give you a surprise later.¡±


    A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and put the three wines away. There were many aspects that could be strengthened.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng¡¯s injuries had recovered.


    ¡°Master, when is the Demigod revival plan going to start?¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought was impatient. Right now, it was only a Partial Thought; it wasn¡¯t even a Partial Spirit. It was extremely dissatisfied.


    ¡°Wait another couple of days.¡±


    Zhao Feng took out a mermaid teardrop and a piece of Purple Scaled Grass and gave them to the Kun Yun Partial Thought.


    He then set his sight on the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    The Demigod¡¯s blood played a critical part in reviving. The Purple Night Sacred Lord didn¡¯t even have one drop of blood remaining; therefore, she couldn¡¯t revive.


    ¡°Appear.¡±


    Zhao Feng reached out and grabbed the faint golden blood.


    He wasn¡¯t worried that the aura of the Demigod¡¯s blood would spread since the place he was currently in was extremely sealed. Furthermore, the Demigod¡¯s blood had become extremely weak after the fight in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, so it couldn¡¯t resist.


    What he needed to do was absorb part of the Demigod¡¯s blood¡¯s energy. The Demigod¡¯s blood essence contained the essence of the Demigod¡¯s body, so it was extremely beneficial to anyone below the Sacred Lord rank.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Seal!¡±


    A crystalline blue seal appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s other hand and radiated a freezing cold.


    He needed to freeze the Demigod¡¯s blood essence to make it easier to take out part of its energy; therefore, Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power to the maximum and fully used the power of the Ice Imperial Spear.


    An entire hour and the majority of his bloodline power was used to freeze the Demigod¡¯s blood essence.


    He then started to absorb the energy of the Demigod¡¯s blood with his bloodline power.


    ¡°Master, you can¡¯t do this!¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought in the Green Spiritual Gourd howled, but Zhao Feng remained emotionless as he slowly absorbed the energy.


    Weng~~


    A thin, faint golden line of blood slowly merged into Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    His state of existence was about the same level as a King, and his Crystal Core had reached the early-stage of the Great Origin Core Realm. In terms of defense, he had the extra bloodline from the Purple Scaled Grass, which was amongst the best against anyone below the Void God Realm.


    Despite all that, his body and bones hurt after absorbing the small faint line of golden blood.


    His True Yuan and bloodline started to tremble, but the effect was amazing. It was more than a hundred times stronger than the heart blood essence of a limitless ocean whale.


    Just a few wisps of golden blood made Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline and body rise rapidly. Even the quality of his True Yuan and soul-strength rose.


    Blood essence contained the core of an expert, and this blood essence came from a Demigod.


    Two days later, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline and body had strengthened substantially.


    ¡°My state of existence is now completely at the King level.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled with excitement. He hadn¡¯t even absorbed one-tenth of the Demigod¡¯s blood yet.


    Within the Green Spiritual Gourd:


    ¡°Master, you need to leave at least 60% of the blood or else the success rate of reviving will drop!¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought cried, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with it and continued to suck the energy.


    On this day, Zhao Feng suddenly had a thought. He merged a faint wisp of golden blood into his left eye.


    Putting a God¡¯s blood into his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Boom!


    An explosion sounded in Zhao Feng¡¯s soul.


    The lake in his left eye¡¯s dimension surged and released a suction force. The energy from the Demigod¡¯s blood was instantly sucked into the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    It was like a dry patch of land sucking up water. In the blink of an eye, a third of the energy from the Demigod¡¯s blood was absorbed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye flashed with a purple glow, and the aura of the Ancient Era became stronger.


    Hu~


    Part of Zhao Feng¡¯s hair became purple.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Zhao Feng immediately stopped the connection between the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    At this moment, only half of the Demigod¡¯s blood remained. The other half of the Demigod¡¯s blood had been absorbed by Zhao Feng¡¯s body or the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye glittered with purple, and more of his hair became purple.

 672 The King Banque

    In just a short breath or two, only half of the Demigod¡¯s blood remained.


    ¡°Master, stop¡­!¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought was extremely nervous. What kind of history did his Master have? How was he able to absorb the blood of a Demigod with such force?


    Luckily, Zhao Feng quickly stopped his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, the lake had expanded to ninety-nine yards. A faint purple occasionally glittered on the surface of the lake.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and his eye-bloodline had become stronger.


    The Demigod¡¯s blood helped the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye become closer to awakening and evolving.


    Zhao Feng revealed a look of joy.


    When the lake reached a hundred yards, there would be a change, but right now, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to fall into deep sleep. Besides, he needed to conserve at least half of the Demigod¡¯s blood in order to revive Kun Yun.


    ¡°Master, you can¡¯t take any more of the blood.¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought¡¯s voice begged. The Demigod¡¯s blood was his only chance of reviving. After all, it wasn¡¯t even a spirit, so he couldn¡¯t steal a body.


    ¡°You need to let me put the Dark Heart Seed in you before I let you revive.¡±


    Zhao Feng said.


    Who knows how strong the revived Demigod Kun Yun would become after reviving? Zhao Feng absorbed half of the Demigod¡¯s blood not only to increase his strength, but also to weaken the Demigod when he was revived and lower the risk.


    ¡°¡­I agree.¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought agreed after a long silence.


    The Dark Heart Seed wasn¡¯t as forbidden as the Dark Heart Seal, so he wouldn¡¯t be fully enslaved. Someone with the Dark Heart Seed still had their own consciousness, and their talents weren¡¯t restricted.


    After I revive, my strength will increase dramatically, and I¡¯ll be able to easily remove the Dark Heart Seed.


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought had his own plans.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with the Kun Yun Partial Thought.


    He started to inspect his body. Apart from the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng¡¯s body had also absorbed or stored some of the Demigod¡¯s body.


    Zhao Feng was surprised by his inspection. His state of existence had reached the Void God Realm, and part of the Demigod¡¯s blood had been stored in his body and turned into potential.


    ¡°As long as this potential fully converts to state of existence, my cultivation and body will rise rapidly.¡±


    Zhao Feng relaxed.


    Reaching the Void God Realm was only a matter of time now. At the minimum, only one year would be needed.


    Normal Sovereigns needed dozens of years or even longer to breakthrough by a small rank. As for reaching the Void God Realm, most Origin Core Realms needed at least several hundred years, and even then, they might not be able to reach that level in their lifetime.


    From that, one could see how important opportunities and fortune were.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence had reached an incredible level through the Immortal Springs Wine, the Demigod¡¯s blood, and the Ancient Dream Realm aura. At the same time, the Illusion God Wine had allowed him to comprehend King intent and form his own half-step King intent.


    He still had some Illusion God Wine left, but even if he didn¡¯t use it, he would be able to form a complete King intent soon.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to rush forming my King intent. My King intent will be stronger once my comprehension of the Wind Lightning Inheritance reaches a higher level.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts spun.


    At this moment in time, he couldn¡¯t comprehend King intent. Once he did, it was very likely his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye would evolve.


    Thus, Zhao Feng started to try to refine the Sky Locking Bow.


    The Sky Locking Bow was an inheritance sacred weapon that might have reached Heaven-Grade.


    Zhao Feng always felt that long-range weapons like bows suited him, and this Sky Locking Bow had the ability to break through space. Anyone locked on by the Sky Locking Bow had almost no chance to dodge it.


    However, refining the bow wasn¡¯t easy.


    The reason the Sky Locking Bow followed Zhao Feng was because their abilities were compatible with one another.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation wasn¡¯t high enough. Which owner of the Sky Locking Bow wasn¡¯t an Emperor or higher? Even the past owners of the Ice Imperial Spear were either Kings or Emperors.


    Zhao Feng faced a lot of resistance when trying to refine it.


    Firstly, the Sky Locking Bow was too highly ranked, so it didn¡¯t fully recognize Zhao Feng.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation wasn¡¯t high enough, and Zhao Feng¡¯s half-step King intent wasn¡¯t enough to make the Sky Locking Bow recognize him.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try this¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng merged the power of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye into the Sky Locking Bow.


    It was obvious that the reason the Sky Locking Bow had a slight favor toward Zhao Feng was due to the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°En, let¡¯s try this as well¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s lips curled as he put a wisp of the Ancient Dream Realm aura into the Sky Locking Bow.


    Weng~~~~~


    The Sky Locking Bow started to hum as it radiated a piercing-sharp aura along with flashes of gold and silver.


    Zhao Feng felt as if his body had been pierced. Even the Kun Yun Partial Thought in the Green Spiritual Gourd felt uneasy.


    ¡°Very good, the power of my eye and the Ancient Dream Realm aura can help make it recognize me.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    The process of refining it became much easier. He used a total of seven days to refine it.


    Being an inheritance sacred weapon, Zhao Feng¡¯s half-step King intent could barely manage to use it, but right now, he didn¡¯t want to reveal this hidden card yet.


    On the third day after Zhao Feng successfully refined the Sky Locking Bow, the Mystic True Sacred Clan welcomed the birth of a new King.


    The new King was Nan Gongsheng.


    ¡°Just thirty-something years old and he¡¯s become a King. He¡¯s broken the record from dozens of millennia ago.¡±


    ¡°As expected of a prodigy who has both the Heaven Spiritual Body and the Spatial Spiritual Body.¡±


    The entire Mystic True Sacred Clan was shocked.


    The birth of a new King was something to be celebrated even for three-star forces. Furthermore, it was a super young King.


    This news stunned the entire True Martial Sacred Land.


    On the next day, the upper echelon of the Mystic True Sacred Clan held a banquet for Nan Gongsheng, to which Zhao Feng was invited.


    The size of this banquet was much bigger than Emperor Duanmu¡¯s welcoming ceremony.


    Every King had a high status, and they were extremely powerful. On top of that, this King was extremely young, and he had broken the record for the last dozens of millennia. His future was immeasurable.


    Many Kings and Emperors in the clan wanted to form a good relationship with Nan Gongsheng.


    With Nan Gongsheng¡¯s potential, the chance of him becoming an Emperor was extremely high. He even had a chance to become a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord thousands of years later and rule the Sacred Land.


    Zhao Feng was also present at the banquet.


    Nan Gongsheng was a powerful ally in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Without Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t have been able to defeat the warm youth, and he would probably have faced a lot of danger.


    Nan Gongsheng was obviously the star of the show, like the North Star in the night sky.


    Even old Emperors were respectful toward him.


    ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao, you¡¯re here.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng smiled and came to greet Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s display of strength in the Demigod Forgotten Garden made Nan Gongsheng look at him with a different perspective. He had viewed Zhao Feng as a formidable foe before becoming a King, but now that Nan Gongsheng had become a King, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and he was much stronger than normal Void God Realm Kings.


    ¡°Senior Martial Brother Nan, congratulations on breaking through. You make the other disciples of this generation look up to you.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and drank with Nan Gongsheng.


    Nan Gongsheng smiled and spoke, ¡°Junior Martial Brother Zhao, with your potential, breaking through to the Void God Realm within two or three years won¡¯t be hard.¡±


    Hearing that, everyone present started to talk.


    ¡°Become a King in two or three years?¡±


    Some members of the clan couldn¡¯t believe it. Kings stood above everyone else; they were amongst the top in two- and three-star forces. It was an extremely high level.


    When the Divine Senses of some Kings and Emperors scanned over Zhao Feng, their hearts shook.


    It wasn¡¯t a secret anymore that Zhao Feng had formed half-step King intent or that he had entered the Mermaid Kingdom and obtained mermaid tears, the Immortal Springs Wine, the Illusion God Wine, and replicated what that genius had done from back then.


    In fact, Zhao Feng had kidnapped the Mermaid Princess and obtained even more than the genius in the past. He was more strategic; after all, the genius from back then had partially relied on luck to succeed.


    ¡°Thank you, Senior Martial Brother Nan Gongsheng.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t disagree with what Nan Gongsheng said.


    ¡°A measly Great Origin Core Realm becoming a King in two or three years?¡±


    Some of the members and disciples of the clan were in disbelief, but the gazes of some Kings and Emperors looked at Zhao Feng with solemnness.


    In fact, Zhao Feng was already being extremely humble by not saying anything else. King intent wasn¡¯t that hard for Zhao Feng, and his state of existence had already reached the level of a King. Furthermore, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t even completely absorbed the Demigod¡¯s blood, and he still had many special resources that he hadn¡¯t used yet.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is progressing too fast¡­.¡±


    The hearts of those familiar with Zhao Feng, such as Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, and Dong Wenjian shook.


    When Zhao Feng entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden, he was only at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, but now, after absorbing the Demigod¡¯s blood, his cultivation was almost at the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm.


    If Zhao Feng really became a King in two or three years, he would break the record of thirty-something years old that Nan Gongsheng just set.


    Zhao Feng was only twenty-two or twenty-three at the max right now, and when he started cultivating, he was only thirteen or fourteen.


    Zhao Feng became the second point of focus at the banquet.


    Nan Gongsheng saw him as a formidable competitor in the same generation.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline, he would become a strong foe once he became a King.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng returned to Emperor Duanmu¡¯s palace.


    ¡°Master, when will you return to the True Martial Sacred Land?¡±


    Zhao Feng saw Emperor Duanmu¡¯s projection.


    The Void God Projection had the same figure as Duanmu Qing, just more transparent.


    ¡°Probably around half a month. I¡¯m helping Yufei fully inherit the Purple Saint Ruins and refine it as her own Little Heaven and Earth.¡±


    The projection replied.


    Zhao Feng was surprised. Normally, only Emperors could form their own Little Heaven and Earth.


    Little Heaven and Earth referred to a private dimension. For example, the Demigod Forgotten Garden, which was a secret realm that the Demigod had created.


    With Yufei¡¯s cultivation, how could she control her own private Little Heaven and Earth?


    Although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t understand, he didn¡¯t think too much about it. He returned to the secret hall, took a deep breath, and took out the frozen Demigod¡¯s blood.


    ¡°The Rebirth from Blood is finally starting¡­.¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought¡¯s voice trembled with excitement.

 673 Rebirth from Blood

    Zhao Feng finally decided to start the Demigod revival plan.


    The Demigod¡¯s blood was currently sealed in ice and had half of its remaining energy left.


    Shua!


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought couldn¡¯t hold it in and leapt out.


    From Ice to Water!


    Zhao Feng circulated his bloodline power and the ice started to melt. The power of the Demigod¡¯s blood was also released.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng was in the secret hall, which had a strong sealing effect since it was where Emperor Duanmu cultivated.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±


    Zhao Feng nodded toward the Kun Yun Partial Thought.


    Weng~~


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought was still a faint ball of light, but its mental energy aura was slightly stronger than when it was in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Although it was just a Partial Thought, the mental energy power contained within it was stronger than normal experts. After all, it was the Partial Thought of a Demigod.


    ¡°Rebirth from Blood!¡±


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought flashed into the Demigod¡¯s blood.


    A normal mental energy intent would definitely be repelled by the Demigod¡¯s blood, but the Kun Yun Partial Thought was part of the Demigod¡¯s soul, so it was extremely close and familiar to it.


    ¡°Let me see this legendary method.¡±


    Zhao Feng watched closely.


    In reality, the Kun Yun Partial Thought also didn¡¯t know much about Rebirth from Blood, but it didn¡¯t need to learn it. Rebirth from Blood was a secret technique that the Demigod had learned and cultivated when he was alive, and the ability was merged into his flesh and blood. Once his body died, as long as his mental energy was still alive, any drop of blood had the possibility of reviving automatically.


    95% of the plan had already been completed by the Demigod when he was alive. All the Kun Yun Partial Thought needed to do now was follow the guide and revive.


    Of course, there were a lot of requirements.


    If the Demigod was still alive, the Kun Yun Partial Thought wouldn¡¯t be able to revive even if it had a drop of blood.


    Another example would be if there was another Partial Thought or a Partial Spirit. The Kun Yun Partial Thought wouldn¡¯t be able to surpass it.


    Everything had already been set by the Demigod when he was alive.


    Weng~~


    The Kun Yun Partial Thought merged into the blood essence of the Demigod, and the latter started to glow with a golden color.


    At the beginning, Zhao Feng felt the mental energy from the Kun Yun Partial Thought merge perfectly with the Demigod¡¯s blood essence.


    The blood essence then started to show signs of life. Zhao Feng knew this was the Demigod¡¯s blood healing the Kun Yun Partial Thought.


    An hour later, the boiling golden blood started to solidify and turn into a golden pearl.


    Shua!


    The golden pearl flew into the air and landed into Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Interesting.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt the Kun Yun Partial Thought¡¯s mental energy information from within the golden pearl.


    Fine.


    He waved his hand and took out a couple drops of Immortal Springs Wine, which he then put onto the golden pearl.


    Weng~


    The golden pearl started to grow at an alarming rate after absorbing the Immortal Springs Wine.


    In reality, all the Immortal Springs Wine had done was to increase the rate at which the revival was happening.


    The golden pearl soon turned into the size of an apple. It was more suitable to call it a golden egg.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped out and looked at the process with twinkling eyes.


    A weird light flashed through its black eyes.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try this.¡±


    Zhao Feng took out a drop of the Origin Lifeforce and dropped it onto the golden egg.


    The drop of Origin Lifeforce contained immense lifeforce. Back at the Purple Saint Ruins, the two-star sects had used this to speed up the growth of the Demonic Hell Vine.


    Apparently, a drop of Origin Lifeforce could turn a ground of death with a radius of a hundred miles into a place full of life that could sustain spiritual plants for a thousand years. From this, one could see how terrifying the amount of lifeforce contained in the Origin Lifeforce was, and at this instant in time, this drop of Origin Lifeforce was the best catalyst.


    Weng~


    The size of the golden egg kept expanding, and it radiated an aura of Life.


    The carvings on the shell of the golden egg were old and mysterious.


    This scene suddenly made Zhao Feng remember how he obtained the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat also came from a special egg, but cats were mammals and obviously didn¡¯t come from eggs.


    ¡°Rebirth from Blood also has certain requirements. If they aren¡¯t met, the process might stop mid-way.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as they landed on the little thieving cat, but it crossed its arms and remained unmoved.


    Half a day later, the golden egg had expanded to the size of a large bucket before finally stopping.


    The surface of the golden egg became tougher and harder.


    Zhao Feng seemed to sense a wisp of mental energy intent, and a ball of Purple Destruction lightning and fire started to roast the shell and make it tougher.


    Several hours later, a cracking sound came from the bucket-sized golden egg.


    Crack!


    A small baby around the age of one or two with golden skin appeared. Its eyes were shining and full of energy.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    The golden-skinned baby could barely speak as it talked in a baby-like voice.


    Zhao Feng paused slightly, and the little thieving cat jumped next to the golden-skinned baby and started to play with it.


    ¡°Fuck off, cat!¡±


    Anger appeared in the eyes of the golden-skinned baby. A magnificent Demigod was being toyed with by a cat? Ridiculous!


    ¡°As expected of the Demigod¡¯s blood; his lifeforce is already comparable to a peak Sovereign Lord after reviving.¡±


    Zhao Feng put his hand on his chin and started to think. When he thought about the energy contained within the Demigod¡¯s blood, it was somewhat expected. Furthermore, the Demigod¡¯s blood could be stored as potential within the baby¡¯s body.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat toyed around with the baby, infuriating him.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, let him have some peace for a while.¡±


    Zhao Feng waved his hand. The golden-skinned baby started to test walking under the gazes of the little thieving cat and Zhao Feng.


    The golden-skinned baby got used to his new body and could now easily walk. His power, speed, and intelligence surpassed other babies of the same age by quite a bit.


    ¡°Haha. Kun Yun Partial Thought¡­ what should I call you?¡±


    Zhao Feng curiously pinched the golden-skinned baby¡¯s skin. It was extremely tender and soft, but it contained immense power. Even without any cultivation, this baby could easily defeat anyone below the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°I am the Demigod Kun Yun.¡±


    The golden-skinned baby sat down with a domineering aura. His eyes seemed to be extremely ancient, as if he had seen through time.


    Zhao Feng could faintly sense a lot of pride from him.


    ¡°Eh? He seems to have recovered some memories after reviving.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected the baby closely with the Dark Heart Seed even though the baby resisted. After all, the Demigod Kun Yun had just revived and was extremely weak. He could do nothing against Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Demigod Kun Yun, this is from our deal before.¡±


    Zhao Feng said emotionlessly.


    The expression of the golden-skinned baby kept on changing, but in the end, he didn¡¯t say anything. Even though he only just revived, he was smarter than most people.


    For the next day or two, the golden-skinned baby sat down and started to cultivate. He asked for some Primal Crystal Stones and other resources from Zhao Feng.


    In just one day¡¯s time, wisps of Qi of True Spirit gathered in the Demigod Kun Yun¡¯s dantian.


    ¡°Qi of True Spirit? This guy reached the True Spirit Realm in just one day? And he¡¯s using an extremely profound technique.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth dropped open.


    Once True Spirit, never mortal again. On some normal islands, the True Spirit Realm was the goal of a lifetime for many people. However, it posed no trouble to Demigod Kun Yun. After all, he used a drop of Demigod¡¯s blood essence to revive.


    The golden-skinned baby started to summon Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and the Qi of True Spirit within his body became thicker. At the same time, he absorbed the Yuan Qi from high-grade Primal Crystal Stones.


    ¡°Looks like this little fella won¡¯t have a bottleneck before reaching the peak Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    After the Demigod¡¯s blood, the Immortal Springs Wine, the Origin Lifeforce, and other energy sources were fully used up, the body of the baby would reach its limit. He still had to face the problem of his body, but he had the experience from his previous life.


    ¡°Little thieving cat, you keep an eye on him.¡±


    Zhao Feng ordered.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat reached out, grabbed the golden-skinned baby, and dragged him into the ancient metal ring.


    Normally, spiritual pets weren¡¯t able to live in interspatial rings, but the little thieving cat and the Demigod Kun Yun were existences that couldn¡¯t be seen as normal.


    Four or five days later, the Demigod Kun Yun had reached the True Lord Rank with the help of a large amount of resources. His body had also grown to the size of a three- or four-year-old.


    Only after reaching the True Lord Rank did his cultivation speed slow down. After all, the Origin Core Realm was a process that required a change in quality.


    Hu~


    Only then did Zhao Feng let out a breath. The speed of the Demigod Kun Yun cultivating was too terrifying.


    Luckily, the power from the Demigod¡¯s blood essence would eventually run out, and the Demigod Kun Yun¡¯s cultivation speed would return to normal.


    In a hidden room of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, a warm youth was sitting down as the True Yuan within his body started to surge. Behind him were three Void God Realm Kings who poured their True Yuan essence into his body.


    ¡°I¡¯ve barely managed to recover to the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm.¡±


    Wen Luoan opened his eyes as a red light appeared on his face.


    His cultivation had almost dropped to the Small Origin Core Realm after charging toward Zhao Feng and exploding in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Over the last few days, the three Death Spirit Lords helped Wen Luoan recover.


    ¡°Third Prince, with your foundation and our help, you¡¯ll be able to reach your peak state within a few months¡¯ time.¡±


    One of the Death Spirit Lords said.


    Right at this moment:


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Wen Luoan suddenly took out his Token of Death.


    ¡°It¡¯s news from Master.¡±


    A rare look of joy appeared on the warm youth¡¯s face.


    ¡°Has the Emperor finally exited seclusion? The Emperor woke up a year ago, but he was in seclusion for the last year.¡±


    One of the Death Spirit Lords said.


    At the same time, on the other side of the limitless ocean, in a dark, ancient palace, an old Emperor with a blurry, shadowy outline slowly stood up.


    An aura of Death spread across dozens of thousands of miles, making countless beings tremble in fear.


    ¡°It¡¯s about time. The chance of the Eye Stealing Forbidden Technique succeeding has increased by ten times. It even has a 30-40% success rate against that new God¡¯s Eye.¡±


    The Emperor of Death murmured.

 674 Forthcoming

    In an Emperor¡¯s Palace in the Mystic True Sacred Clan, Zhao Feng sat cross-legged and watched Kun Yun grow.


    His heart suddenly went cold as he felt the aura of Death extend across the depths of his soul.


    ¡°The Pursuit of Death!¡±


    Zhao Feng hiccupped. This sensation of danger wasn¡¯t something a normal Death Guard or Death Spirit Lord could bring.


    In the depths of his soul, the aura of Death connected with something extremely far away.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically. He could guess what happened.


    The four Death Spirit Lords and the thirty-six Death Guards still hadn¡¯t completed their mission, and the Emperor of Death¡¯s own disciple almost died in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Under that situation, the Emperor of Death himself might come.


    ¡°I might not even be able to defeat the Emperor of Death¡¯s disciple; how will I be able to beat the Emperor of Death that stands at the peak?¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    In the Demigod Forgotten Garden, he teamed up with Nan Gongsheng and used his Eye of Heaven. Even then, they still didn¡¯t manage to kill Wen Luoan.


    Wen Luoan¡¯s strength was even restricted in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    If Zhao Feng had a one-on-one fight with him, he probably would¡¯ve lost.


    The top hundred of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were extremely powerful. They surpassed logic.


    ¡°The most important task right now is to increase my strength and grind down the intent of Death in my soul.¡±


    Zhao Feng had his chain of thoughts.


    As long as Emperor Duanmu was in the Mystic True Sacred Clan, the Emperor of Death couldn¡¯t directly threaten Zhao Feng. After all, this was the territory of the True Martial Sacred Land, and the Emperor of Death wasn¡¯t part of it.


    Furthermore, Emperors weren¡¯t the strongest people here.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and started to circulate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, and the contents of the Dark Eye Secret Manual appeared in his mind.


    Zhao Feng was extremely satisfied with the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, which had allowed his mastery over the Dao of the Soul to step into a new level. This divine technique not only strengthened his foundation of breaking through to the Void God Realm, it also helped weaken the aura of Death in his soul.


    In the soul-dimension, Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts split into one hundred and slowly dove into the depths of his soul like tentacles, then slowly started to grind the Eye of Death¡¯s intent.


    The Emperor of Death specialized in the Dao of the Soul and the Dao of Death.


    Even Emperor Duanmu didn¡¯t dare to help Zhao Feng in case he caused an injury. Zhao Feng had to rely on himself and slow weaken the intent of Death.


    In the depths of his soul, the intent that the Emperor of Death had left behind was like some kind of mark that existed in a special state, similar to Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven. Any mental energy that touched it would be destroyed.


    ¡°As expected of a mark left behind by the Eye of Death.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt extremely troubled. If he hadn¡¯t cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, it would be hard to threaten this intent unless he became an Emperor.


    The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique allowed Zhao Feng¡¯s mastery over the Dao of the Soul to reach an entirely new level.


    He started to condense his mental energy into a blade, then used the Eye Flame alongside it to slowly grind down the intent.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s energy was used up very quickly in this process.


    After his energy ran out, he sat down and continued to recover.


    This kept repeating, and Zhao Feng¡¯s mastery of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was increasing.


    Several days later:


    ¡°Unfortunately, the intent of Death is too strong, so it¡¯ll take a long time to weaken. Maybe when my God¡¯s Spiritual Eye evolves and my soul reaches the level of a King, the speed will increase.¡±


    Zhao Feng sighed.


    Right at this moment, the lake in the dimension of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye reached a hundred yards.


    A tired sensation spread from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and extended across his body.


    Zhao Feng did his best to fight against the sleepiness. He knew that, once he couldn¡¯t stop it, he would fall into deep sleep while the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye evolved. He needed to wait till Zhao Yufei and his master came back before he could fall asleep.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique anymore. He realized that cultivating this technique would speed up the process of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye evolving.


    Time flew by, and the child Kun Yun¡¯s cultivation was still rising rapidly after reaching the True Lord Rank.


    Every couple days or so, the golden-skinned child would ask Zhao Feng for resources or treasures, but luckily, Zhao Feng had a lot.


    It was a huge pressure to bear the cost of three people cultivating. Himself, the little thieving cat, and the child Kun Yun all needed large amounts of resources.


    Amongst them, the little thieving cat took up the most. It ate every type of treasure.


    Luckily, the little thieving cat had been through thick and thin with Zhao Feng, and it had never disappointed him before.


    On this day, the child Kun Yun¡¯s cultivation started to close in on the Origin Core Realm, and he asked Zhao Feng for more resources.


    Hmmm?


    Zhao Feng suddenly sensed something, and a Magnificent Power descended toward Emperor Duanmu¡¯s Palace.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and made the child Kun Yun enter the ring.


    ¡°The aura of an Emperor who¡¯s extremely close to the Mystic Light Realm¡­.¡±


    The child Kun Yun murmured as he concealed his aura and became obedient.


    Right now, only Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat knew that the Demigod Kun Yun had revived. Who knows what kind of shockwaves the world would experience if everyone knew that a Demigod had revived? At the same time, the child Kun Yun would face the danger of being killed.


    ¡°Master.¡±


    Zhao Feng walked out from the room to the courtyard of the Palace.


    Right at this moment, a majestic figure of a male with white hair appeared.


    When this Emperor appeared, the souls of all the clan¡¯s experts shook.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng!¡±


    Next to Duanmu Qing, covered in light, was a young girl in purple.


    The young girl in purple was extremely beautiful and had skin as white as snow. She didn¡¯t seem to have a body made of flesh and bone, it was more like a beautiful statue.


    ¡°Yufei!¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a look of joy, and the tiredness in his heart faded by a little bit.


    He remembered what happened in the Mermaid Kingdom when he used the mermaid tears. When he was young, a beautiful girl with the closeness of a neighbor appeared with twinkling eyes. It was someone who watched silently behind and kept chasing after him.


    After this reunion, everything was so familiar and clear ¨C the smell, the soft hug, the warmth.


    This stunning girl in purple had now come out from his memories and reached him.


    The two looked at each other.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes started to become teary. She couldn¡¯t hide her joy and her faint shyness, especially when the man of her dreams looked at her with a gaze that was different from before. It was a loving sensation with no impurities.


    When the two looked in each other¡¯s eyes, they both understood something.


    At this instant, the meaning of a simple gaze exceeded a thousand words.


    Zhao Feng had no experience in love, and Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes went slightly red. Although she was happy, she wanted to cry.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed as a soft body leapt into him, and her teary eyes touched his face.


    The familiar feeling, the closeness of the neighbor next door¡­ it was a nice feeling, like the bittersweet feeling when using the mermaid tears.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was cleansed, and the effect of the mermaid tears seemed to merge with his own experience.


    ¡°Yufei.¡±


    Zhao Feng reached out and hugged Zhao Yufei.


    He didn¡¯t know what to say or how to explain it, he simply followed his instincts as he hugged the girl in front of him.


    From the understanding of the mermaid tears to now, Zhao Feng had finally seen through the feeling in his youth.


    Only until Emperor Duanmu coughed lightly did the two seem to wake up from their dream and turn red.


    The three entered a hall and sat down, only then did Zhao Feng closely inspect Zhao Yufei, and he was shocked by what he saw.


    Zhao Yufei had an aura similar to Meng Xi, Wen Luoan, or Jiang Fan. It was the aura of a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. On top of that, the aura from Zhao Yufei was even stronger than Wen Luoan¡¯s.


    What was even more incredible was that, although Zhao Yufei¡¯s cultivation was at the Great Origin Core Realm, the purity of True Yuan coming from her wasn¡¯t weaker than a King¡¯s.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, my bloodline has truly awoken. With the help of Senior Martial Brother Duanmu, I¡¯ve successfully inherited the Purple Saint Ruins and refined it as my own Little Heaven and Earth.¡±


    Zhao Yufei was full of joy, and she was extremely smug.


    Little Heaven and Earth?


    Zhao Feng was surprised. Zhao Yufei wasn¡¯t even a King yet; how could she have her own Little Heaven and Earth?


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we meet again.¡±


    A familiar voice sounded from around Zhao Yufei.


    Weng~~


    A dreamy purple-colored light covered the room, and the three entered a familiar dimension the next instant.


    ¡°The aura of the Purple Saint Ruins is dozens of times stronger than before.¡±


    Zhao Feng stood in the mysterious canyon next to the Towering Tree Yao.


    The dimension in front of him was the Purple Saint Ruins. The only difference was that the Little Heaven and Earth only had a radius of ten miles. Everything had shrunk by several hundred times.


    Zhao Feng finally understood why Duanmu Qing took such a long time to return.


    Being an Emperor of the Sacred Land, Duanmu Qing could use the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Arrays and arrive at the Tianlu Islands Zone extremely quickly.


    Duanmu Qing punished the three sects when he arrived, and the Kings of the three sects admitted their wrongdoings.


    After that, Duanmu Qing helped Zhao Yufei refine the Purple Saint Ruins and merge the Purple Saint Partial Spirit into the Little Heaven and Earth as well.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit had become a part of Zhao Yufei¡¯s Little Heaven and Earth, otherwise Zhao Yufei wouldn¡¯t have been able to obtain it.


    That meant that Zhao Yufei not only managed to inherit the Purple Saint Ruins, she also managed to save the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    Emperor Duanmu used several months and a large price to do so.


    Shua!


    Duanmu Qing and company returned to the palace.


    ¡°Yufei, here are some mermaid tears and Illusion God Wine.¡±


    Zhao Feng looked tired, but he took out two treasures and handed them over to Zhao Yufei.


    Illusion God Wine?


    Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t know their value yet, but Emperor Duanmu was shocked, ¡°You managed to obtain the Illusion God Wine? These two items are perfect for Yufei. After all, she has the bloodline of the Spiritual Race, which means that her cultivation is always higher than her mental energy.¡±

 675 Everlasting Appearance Grass

    Although Zhao Yufei might not know the value of the Illusion God Wine, it was impossible for Emperor Duanmu not to. He knew the situation of the Demigod Forgotten Garden clearly.


    The difficulty of obtaining the Illusion God Wine wasn¡¯t just ¡°hard.¡± The reason that genius could succeed several thousand years ago was mainly due to luck.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, did you trick the Mermaid Princess¡¯s heart to get the Illusion God Wine?¡±


    Duanmu Qing looked closely.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence was comparable to a King, and he had formed half-step King intent.


    ¡°Mermaid Princess?¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyebrows furrowed and she harrumphed in dissatisfaction.


    ¡°No, I kidnapped her¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng explained it simply.


    Duanmu Qing and Zhao Yufei were stunned after hearing Zhao Feng talk about the process, and Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart jumped every time.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t just daring. He actually used such a method to fight against a Void God Realm King and obtain the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine.


    Duanmu Qing was full of praise and admiration.


    Zhao Feng summarized the story very calmly. It was obvious that he didn¡¯t just have courage; he also had an intelligent and calm mind.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, thank you for leaving Yufei such precious wine.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s sounded.


    Now that she had merged with Zhao Yufei¡¯s Little Heaven and Earth, she was a strong source of mental energy, and with the help of Duanmu Qing, she had recovered to a level comparable to a King.


    ¡°Senior helped me a lot in the Purple Saint Ruins. Compared to that, the Illusion God Wine is nothing.¡±


    Zhao Feng said humbly.


    Thinking back to the two times he had entered the Purple Saint Ruins, his strength had increased rapidly both times. Without the Purple Saint Ruins, there would be no current Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Oh yeah, master, what did you say Yufei¡¯s bloodline was?¡±


    Zhao Feng suddenly asked.


    ¡°Spiritual Race.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit replied.


    Spiritual Race!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook as he took in a cold breath.


    He had read the Ten Thousand Ancient Races Ranking, so he knew how terrifying the Spiritual Race was.


    The Spiritual Race is ranked 19th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    It was hard to imagine that Zhao Yufei¡¯s bloodline was ranked within the top twenty of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    Spiritual Race ¨C one of the ancient legendary races who have a Natural Spiritual Source Body when born. It is a body that has surpassed flesh and blood, and it eats Heaven Earth Essence Yuan Qi as food. Their compatibility with Heaven and Earth is the best amongst any race. The Spiritual Race will have strength comparable to a King when they mature. Their cultivation speed is unparalleled.


    Zhao Feng remembered the contents about the Spiritual Race.


    The Spiritual Race was an almost-perfect race. Their bodies had surpassed the restrictions of normal beings.


    For example, the Light Race, which was ranked 7th of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, could turn into light, and they actually ate light.


    The Spiritual Race was the race of Heaven Earth Essence Yuan Qi, and they were one with Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Yufei has awoken the true bloodline of the Spiritual Race, and she has no bottleneck to become a King. If her mental energy level was high enough, she would have already become a King.¡±


    Duanmu Qing sighed.


    Each of the top-one-hundred Ten Thousand Ancient Races were children of Heaven, and the Illusion God Wine Zhao Feng brought was precisely what Zhao Yufei needed.


    One had to know that the True Yuan within Zhao Yufei¡¯s body had already broken through the difference in cultivation and reached the level of a King.


    Zhao Feng then told the two about what happened in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Even Duanmu Qing was shocked by the news of the Demigod¡¯s blood, but Zhao Feng kept it a secret that he had obtained it.


    It wasn¡¯t about the value of the Demigod¡¯s blood itself, it was just that the Demigod revival plan was too shocking.


    Zhao Yufei grabbed Zhao Feng¡¯s hand and walked away quickly like an elf. Zhao Feng¡¯s face was full of sleepiness, and he had reached his limit.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Yufei turned around and looked closely at him, ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, what¡¯s with your fianc¨¦e? Did you find her?¡±


    ¡°Fianc¨¦e?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt troubled.


    The image of an elegant and quiet figure appeared in his mind.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, you need to reply seriously.¡±


    Zhao Yufei said. She was extremely nervous at this moment. She couldn¡¯t allow the person she liked to like another female at the same time, even though it was normal for powerful men to have many wives.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyelashes fluttered as she awaited Zhao Feng¡¯s reply.


    She had already made a decision. If Zhao Feng liked another person as well, she would step out and focus on her destiny.


    At the same time, awaiting Zhao Feng¡¯s reply wasn¡¯t just Zhao Yufei. There was also the Purple Saint Partial Spirit who had merged into the Little Heaven and Earth. The Purple Saint Partial Spirit also placed a lot of importance on this matter.


    However, exactly at this moment, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and fell asleep.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, what happened!?¡±


    Zhao Yufei exclaimed and hugged Zhao Feng tightly.


    She realized that more faint-purple hair appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s head.


    ¡°His God¡¯s Eye is probably undergoing another evolution.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said.


    As the God¡¯s Eye continued to awaken, Zhao Feng became more compatible with it and could use more of its power. Furthermore, it would become harder for others to steal the eye.


    Zhao Yufei stamped her foot on the ground. She was suspicious about whether Zhao Feng was dodging the question or not, choosing to sleep right at this moment on purpose.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared and jumped onto Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder. Every time Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Eye underwent an evolution, it was always there to protect him.


    It could be said that the little thieving cat had been at Zhao Feng¡¯s side for a long time.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat signaled to Zhao Yufei with its paws. It didn¡¯t dislike Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei soon understood what it was saying and put Zhao Feng in the secret hall.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat closed the door and sat on its owner¡¯s body.


    Of course, the child Demigod in the metal ring still needed resources. Since the master wasn¡¯t present, the little thieving cat took charge of it.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng seems to have entered a certain state.¡±


    The child Demigod sensed the current state Zhao Feng was in through the Dark Heart Seal and was overjoyed. Maybe he could get more resources from the little thieving cat.


    If Zhao Feng slept for a long time and he managed to reach the peak Sovereign Lord rank, maybe he could become a King after merging with the Demigod intent and escape the Dark Heart Seal.


    After all, if Zhao Feng was sleeping, he wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything to the Dark Heart Seal.


    However, the child Demigod¡¯s plan didn¡¯t work. His resources were greatly limited by the little thieving cat.


    The child Demigod obviously wanted to fight back. How could a cat step on top of a Demigod¡¯s head?


    Miao!


    Pa!


    If the child Demigod had any objections, a cat paw would make him go dizzy.


    ¡°Utterly ridiculous!¡±


    The child Demigod wasn¡¯t the cat¡¯s match at all and was given a beating.


    ¡°What¡­ what kind of species is this cat?¡±


    The child Demigod felt extremely humiliated. He had the partial memories and abilities of a Demigod, but he couldn¡¯t even see through a cat.


    This cat¡¯s abilities were monstrous, and it could see what he was trying to do. The Demigod obviously had memories about a bunch of unknown methods, but everything was dissolved by the little thieving cat.


    Every time the cat bullied him, it would reveal a playful look, as if it didn¡¯t care that he was a Demigod.


    ¡°Wait till I recover. I¡¯m going to kill you.¡±


    The child Demigod remembered this moment, but his current task was to grow stronger, which meant that he couldn¡¯t offend the cat.


    Slowly but steadily, he would try to praise the cat and occasionally massage it.


    The little thieving cat nodded its head in pleasure. Like this, the child Demigod became the little thieving cat¡¯s servant.


    Time flew by quickly, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.


    The child Demigod hid in the ancient metal ring and didn¡¯t dare come out.


    Over the two months¡¯ time, his cultivation had reached the Sovereign Lord rank.


    ¡°Hmph, my cultivation has caught up to Zhao Feng now.¡±


    The child Demigod was smug. As his cultivation increased, he awakened more memories.


    In terms of strength, the child Demigod believed he was amongst the top young generation geniuses of the Sacred Land, excluding the monstrous ones like Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Feng, and company.


    The only problem that made the child Demigod frustrated was that his body was still the size of a two- or three-year-old, and it was growing very slowly.


    He had been reborn from blood, not revived.


    With the help of the Demigod¡¯s blood, he should be able to become an adult extremely quick.


    ¡°Why is it like this?¡±


    The child Demigod was going crazy.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat playfully waved its paws.


    ¡°What? Immortal Springs Wine? And the Everlasting Appearance Grass!?¡±


    The child Demigod roared in the ancient metal ring and almost went crazy.


    It wouldn¡¯t have mattered if it was just the Immortal Springs Wine since that just increased one¡¯s lifespan. However, everything changed when the Everlasting Appearance Grass was added.


    The Everlasting Appearance Grass was just what the name suggested ¨C it maintained one¡¯s appearance and body forever. If an eighteen-year-old ate the Everlasting Appearance Grass, then, as long as the body didn¡¯t age, they would have the same appearance as an eighteen-year-old.


    The effect of the Everlasting Appearance Grass was strengthened by several times when used with the Immortal Springs Wine.


    Both the Immortal Springs Wine and Everlasting Appearance Grass were legendary items. The former could increase one¡¯s lifespan by a thousand years; the latter could maintain one¡¯s appearance.


    This was a combination that some females dreamed of.


    However, the child Demigod met the wrong person (cat) at the wrong time and used the two items at once.


    ¡°The Immortal Springs Wine and the Everlasting Appearance Grass are both heaven-defying items in the outside world. It will be difficult to remove the effect before I become a Sacred Lord.¡±


    The child Demigod¡¯s eyes flashed as he analyzed. The result almost made him go crazy once more.


    He hated the little thieving cat down to his bones.


    The Everlasting Appearance Grass must¡¯ve been amongst the resources that the little thieving had given to him. Even Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know its abilities after obtaining it in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    ¡°I can¡¯t stand it anymore¡­!¡±


    The child Demigod roared and jumped out of the ancient metal ring. He also had the ability to pass through space.


    Pa!


    A cat paw slapped his face and dazed him, but the child Demigod¡¯s bloodline and body were extremely strong, so he took the hit head-on before charging toward the little thieving cat.


    As the two were about to start fighting:


    Hu~~


    The sleeping Zhao Feng suddenly rolled over, and his faint purple hair moved.

 676 Purple Colored Soul Sea

    Over the past two months, Zhao Feng had been asleep and didn¡¯t move at all.


    His blue hair had now turned a faint purple and had a weird, beautiful wickedness to it. It was enough to make many females envious of him.


    Hu~~


    His faint purple hair blew naturally in the wind and gave off an invisible Soul aura.


    This Soul aura was immeasurable, and the child Demigod and the little thieving cat both hiccupped at the same time.


    ¡°What a strong Soul aura!¡±


    The child Demigod¡¯s heart shook, and he felt uneasy.


    He was extremely shocked. Zhao Feng was sleeping and already radiated such a terrifying Soul aura.


    This Soul aura was even slightly stronger than normal Kings.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat scratched its chin with its paws and started to think.


    Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t moved at all in the last two months, which meant that he was in deep sleep.


    Now that Zhao Feng suddenly moved, it definitely wasn¡¯t a coincidence. It was most likely that the God¡¯s Spiritual Eyes evolution had almost finished, and he was now slowly recovering from the deep sleep.


    As expected, over the next couple days, Zhao Feng¡¯s body occasionally twitched.


    The Soul aura radiating from him became even stronger.


    In the dimension of his left eye, Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness was already recovering, and the blue-colored water in his lake was changing.


    At the beginning, a ripple of purple started to appear in the water, but as time passed, a faint purple mist appeared from the surface of the lake.


    Zhao Feng could feel that this purple mist was pure Soul power created from the lake.


    The purple mist became more and more condensed.


    ¡°This faint purple mist is kind of like the mist of the limitless ocean.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    The faint purple mist kept expanding with the lake as the center.


    ¡°A hundred yards¡­ two hundred yards¡­ three hundred yards¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng witnessed the purple mist¡¯s expansion.


    Every time the purple mist expanded by a couple yards, his soul-strength would increase.


    The expansion of the purple-colored mist made Zhao Feng feel incredibly powerful.


    It was hard to tell how much time passed, but the purple mist had expanded to eight-hundred yards and was approaching the nine-hundred-yard mark.


    The water in the lake didn¡¯t disappear. The water and the mist could interact with one another and even switch around.


    The lake was at the very center of the mist, but the evolution of the left eye still hadn¡¯t ended.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the purple mist reached nine hundred yards and was almost at a thousand yards.


    The space inside the mist sea was like a separate soul-dimension.


    ¡°Soul Sea.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt a summoning.


    This was his Soul Sea. It was stronger than most experts¡¯.


    Only those that had become a King could reach this level.


    The boundary of the Soul Sea was the purple mist. Below the mist was the blue-colored lake, the very center of the Soul Sea.


    Di! Da!


    A few powerful auras formed in the blue water.


    Hu~


    Azure winds appeared in the air above the Soul Sea. This was a type of Soul eye-bloodline power.


    ¡°The power of Wind!¡±


    Zhao Feng realized that this was the element when his eye turned azure, and now, this power had appeared in his Soul Sea.


    The Soul Sea had created Wind.


    Immediately following that, there were beams of scarlet-purple lightning clouds.


    ¡°Hmm? Eye-bloodline power of Lightning!?¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a weird expression.


    In the past, he didn¡¯t have the power of Lightning in the dimension of his left eye. It was formed from his Wind Lightning Dan Flame in his body, but now it had appeared in the Soul Sea.


    ¡°Wind¡­ Water¡­ Lightning¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but start to think.


    The scarlet-purple lightning clouds were related to the Purple and the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning that he cultivated.


    ¡°Could it be that the eye-bloodline powers in my Soul Sea are related to what techniques I cultivate?¡±


    Zhao Feng guessed.


    The first element that the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had acquired was the element of Wind. However, it didn¡¯t really stand out that time.


    Zhao Feng remembered that the Lightly Floating Ferry technique he first learnt was related to Wind.


    Of course, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was uncontrollable when it underwent evolutions.


    The Soul Sea was full of a faint dreamy purple.


    The blue-colored lake represented Water and Ice. The scarlet-purple lightning clouds represented Lightning, and the azure winds obviously represented Wind.


    In the Soul Sea, the azure winds and the scarlet-purple lightning clouds interacted with one another.


    The blue-colored lake was incredibly deep, and there was a mysterious whirlpool in the middle that connected to the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had finally evolved.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng only needed to wait for his Soul Sea to stabilize.


    He started to slowly awaken. He could slightly sense what was happening in the outside world.


    Within the secret hall, the child Demigod behaved much better since the danger of the Dark Heart Seed suddenly became much stronger.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul had strengthened, and so did his Soul eye-bloodline.


    Normally, only the souls of those who broke through to the Void God Realm would change. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye jumped straight past this process.


    In the Emperor¡¯s Palace, Zhao Feng and the child Demigod were both becoming stronger quickly. Even the little thieving cat ate enormous amounts of resources ¨C several times the amount of the child Demigod.


    However, it was hard to test how strong the little thieving cat truly was.


    In the same period of time, Zhao Yufei started to quietly cultivate in the True Martial Sacred Land.


    She had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race, and she had the power of the Purple Saint Partial Spirit in her Little Heaven and Earth. On top of that, Emperor Duanmu personally taught her.


    She drank the Illusion God Wine a month ago and formed half-step King intent. This greatly reduced her weakness.


    To sharpen Zhao Yufei, Emperor Duanmu purposely made her spar with some geniuses within the Sacred Land.


    Within the Mystic True Sacred Clan, Chen Yilin, Jiang Fan, Brother Nan, and another few Core disciples sparred with Zhao Yufei.


    The result was that these three geniuses who were ranked within the top five in the Mystic True Sacred Clan all lost to Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei had formed half-step King intent, and her True Yuan was comparable to a King.


    Even Jiang Fan who also had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races could only last two or three moments against Zhao Yufei.


    Jiang Fan¡¯s bloodline was ranked in the hundreds whereas Zhao Yufei¡¯s was in the top twenty.


    ¡°Yufei, with your strength, the only people in the same generation that would be your match are Nan Gongsheng, Meng Xi, and Zhao Feng.¡±


    Emperor Duanmu smiled and said.


    Over the last couple days, she swept across all the disciples of the same generation.


    The only two she hadn¡¯t fought were Zhao Feng, who was sleeping, and Nan Gongsheng, who was now a King.


    ¡°Master, I will complete your wishes and return to the continent zone and reform the Duanmu Family.¡±


    Zhao Yufei clenched her fists with a decisive gaze.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit in her Little Heaven and Earth praised, ¡°Being a legendary bloodline that¡¯s ranked in the top 20 of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, I believe the True Martial Sacred Land will only be a temporary stop for you.¡±


    On the second day, Zhao Yufei challenged Nan Gongsheng, the number one genius of the Sacred Land.

 677 Spiritual Race Bloodline

    On the main Spiritual Peak, a large stage was at the top of the mountain where the Mystic True Sacred Clan was located. This stage was known as the True King Stage, and it was extremely famous. It had been there for dozens of millennia.


    In the Mystic True Sacred Clan, normal experts and Core disciples didn¡¯t even have the right to fight on the True King Stage because it was a place where only Kings fought.


    On this day, the sun glowed as two figures stood looking at each other on the True King Stage.


    One of them was a proud youth with his hands behind his back. His eyes were sharp, and they seemed to be stars as he gave off an imperial aura.


    It was like looking at a ball of divine silver light.


    He was Nan Gongsheng, the number one genius of the True Martial Sacred Land.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, who else can compare to Nan Gongsheng in the younger generation apart from Meng Xi?¡±


    ¡°Nan Gongsheng¡¯s now a King. Even Meng Xi and Zhao Feng won¡¯t be able to last ten moves against him.¡±


    Many Core disciples gathered around the stage.


    On the other side of the stage was a young girl in purple. She had outstanding beauty, and her skin was as white as snow.


    In terms of looks, probably only Meng Xi from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan could be compared to her.


    The gazes of some males turned shameful when they looked at her.


    ¡°She¡¯s that Zhao Yufei?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine that Brother Chen, Brother Nan, and Jiang Fan all lost to her.¡±


    The crowd discussed.


    Although not many people thought that Zhao Yufei had a high chance of winning, she had already reached the peak of this generation by reaching this step.


    In terms of age, Zhao Yufei was much younger than Nan Gongsheng.


    A lot of attention was placed on this battle. There were many Kings and Emperors near the True King Stage. Emperor Duanmu and Nan Gongsheng¡¯s Master, Emperor Mi Kong, were also here.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that the first fight after I became a King wouldn¡¯t be against Zhao Feng or Meng Xi, but a girl whose name I don¡¯t even know.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng murmured to himself with slight mockery.


    With his fame as the number one genius of the Sacred Land and his cultivation at the Void God Realm, he was too disdainful to fight with others of the same generation since others would think he was being a bully. After all, Nan Gongsheng was technically not a disciple anymore after becoming a King and part of the upper echelon of the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    At first, Nan Gongsheng didn¡¯t want to fight, but Emperor Duanmu talked with Emperor Mi Kong about it. Apparently, this girl came from a faraway continent zone and was closely connected with Emperor Duanmu.


    ¡°Start!¡±


    With the signal of the two Emperors, the fight on the True King Stage finally began.


    As the crowd looked on intensely, the two didn¡¯t immediately attack.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter how strong your inheritance and bloodline are ¨C everyone below Kings are ants.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng stood with his hands behind his back and moved his intent.


    Boom!


    In that instant, the power of a King shook the soul-dimension and caused the nearby Yuan Qi to freeze.


    If he was willing, he could destroy the entire Broken Moon Clan or Iron Blood Religion with just one thought.


    This was King intent.


    In everyone¡¯s vision, Nan Gongsheng seemed to become one with Heaven. His every action and movement created limitless force that passed through the physical and the soul-dimensions.


    Half of the True King Stage was covered by a mystic silver light.


    The mystic silver light contained the comprehension of Space.


    ¡°His Void God power has already formed the beginnings of a Space Domain. If half-step Kings enter it, their intent will be suppressed and their bodies will be restricted by the domain, and they¡¯ll be unable to fight back.¡±


    There were several Kings amongst the spectators.


    Emperor Mi Kong was a silver-haired elder with a smile on his face who looked smugly toward Emperor Duanmu.


    ¡°As expected of Nan Gongsheng; he¡¯s only just broken through to the Void God Realm not long ago and is already not weaker than some older Kings.¡±


    Duanmu Qing sighed.


    Just a thought alone was so strong.


    If it was the Zhao Feng or Meng Xi from before fighting him, they would be restricted, unable to do anything.


    ¡°Yufei, his King intent contains the power of Space¡­.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice sounded in Zhao Yufei¡¯s mind.


    Bearing pressure from both the power of a King and the Spatial intent, Zhao Yufei¡¯s face started to go red, but she showed no signs of retreating or defeat. On the contrary, she started to smile, ¡°You¡¯re very strong, but I won¡¯t lose.¡±


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng was extremely surprised. His King power seemed to fall into another world like a rock sinking into the ocean when it landed on Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°So, that¡¯s why. No wonder she dares to challenge a King.¡±


    Emperor Mi Kong¡¯s silver eyes flashed with shock.


    Some of the other Kings present also saw something.


    Zhao Yufei had refined a small world, so she wasn¡¯t scared of the King intent of normal Kings.


    Weng~~


    The girl in purple released a purple light that shattered the surrounding mystic silver light.


    ¡°What?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng¡¯s body shook slightly. His newly-formed Spatial domain was crushed by the opponent¡¯s True Yuan.


    The Void God Realm was split into the King and Emperor ranks.


    When Kings reached a certain level, they could form their own spatial domains, but it wasn¡¯t a true physical dimension. Some of the stronger Emperors could create a real dimension or a small world by condensing their spatial domains into reality.


    Nan Gongsheng had become a King not long ago, but since he specialized in Space and had the Spatial Spiritual Body, he could barely manage to form a spatial domain.


    Normal half-step Kings wouldn¡¯t be able to fight back inside the domain. However, Zhao Yufei released a surge of True Yuan that pushed away the power of the spatial domain.


    ¡°What strong True Yuan!¡±


    Some of the Kings nearby were surprised.


    ¡°She hasn¡¯t formed King intent or become a King, but her True Yuan is comparable to the strength of one.¡±


    Emperor Mi Kong was stunned.


    Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei attacked at the same time.


    A wave of silver light descended from the sky and crushed toward Zhao Yufei. The power was enough to destroy a normal city.


    ¡°Purple Heaven Sacred Technique!¡±


    Zhao Yufei exclaimed as she sent tens of thousands of beams of purple light charging toward Nan Gongsheng.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    The clash of powers that reached the King level unfolded on the True King Stage.


    ¡°Her power¡­ can fight back against mine!?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng had a solemn expression. He didn¡¯t underestimate her anymore.


    The legendary continent zones were indeed not simple and had surpassed the True Martial Sacred Land.


    Shua!


    Nan Gongsheng¡¯s figure disappeared.


    The next moment:


    Whoosh!


    A surge of silver light released a forbidden aura as it swept toward Zhao Yufei from the side.


    It was just too fast. Nan Gongsheng¡¯s speed and his spatial technique had reached an entirely new level.


    Spatial secret technique!


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart jumped. Her Spiritual Bloodline was extremely sensitive toward Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. Technically speaking, she was one with it.


    ¡°Absorb!¡±


    Zhao Yufei opened her palm, and a purple crystal whirlpool suddenly expanded and engulfed the silver light.


    Mockery appeared on Nan Gongsheng¡¯s face.


    Shu! Shu! Boom!


    The purple crystal whirlpool suddenly exploded as the silver light seemed to have the ability to break through space.


    Just as the power from the spatial secret technique was about to land on Zhao Yufei:


    Shua!


    A purple afterimage was destroyed by the silver light.


    Immediately following that, a purple streak of light charged toward Nan Gongsheng with a terrifying amount of power.


    It was like a purple meteor smashing toward Nan Gongsheng.


    Not good!


    Nan Gongsheng felt a strong sense of danger. He dashed dozens of yards away as silver light glowed around his body.


    Boom!


    The purple meteor transformed Nan Gongsheng¡¯s original location into a sea of purple flames.


    Nan Gongsheng had almost been hit by the purple meteor.


    Weng~~


    The light from the purple meteor started to fade, revealing Zhao Yufei¡¯s stunning figure.


    ¡°Purple Heaven Sacred Technique!¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the relationship between the Purple Night Sacred Lord and her?¡±


    Emperor Mi Kong took a deep breath as he stared at Zhao Yufei.


    He was an old Emperor as well, and he had witnessed the Purple Night Sacred Lord¡¯s power in the past.


    In that generation, the Purple Night Sacred Lord had almost no one that could match her amongst the ten thousand forces here.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, she¡¯s the inheritor of the Purple Night Sacred Lord, and she also has a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.¡±


    A smile appeared on Emperor Duanmu¡¯s face. Emperor Mi Kong¡¯s expression made him happy.


    No matter who won, Nan Gongsheng was still a King with both a Spatial Spiritual Body and a Heaven Spiritual Body. He was the number one genius of the Sacred Land, whereas Zhao Yufei had lower cultivation and was younger.


    ¡°Profound Spatial Slash!¡±


    With a silver flash, Nan Gongsheng appeared behind Zhao Yufei¡¯s back.


    A silver streak extended through space and gave off a forbidden power of Space.


    At this moment, the two were extremely close. Nan Gongsheng could even smell Zhao Yufei¡¯s fragrance.


    Shua!


    The Profound Mystic Slash shot toward Zhao Yufei.


    Nan Gongsheng circulated his power to the maximum as he locked on to Zhao Yufei.


    She was unable to dodge it, but she didn¡¯t have any intentions of doing so anyway. All of a sudden, she radiated a pure holy light like a goddess.


    Ding!


    The Profound Mystic Slash landed on Zhao Yufei, but it seemed to merge into liquid crystal as it caused sparks to fly.


    ¡°How is that possible!?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng screamed in his heart.


    This scene stunned the audience.


    Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t use any secret technique, but her physical body had exceeded the limit of mere flesh and blood.


    This current state of hers was similar to Zhao Feng¡¯s Water Spirit Divine Change, but the latter needed to pay a price to achieve such a state whereas this state seemed to be natural to Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Could this bloodline be the Spiritual Race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!?¡±


    Some of the spectating Kings exclaimed.


    One had to know that Nan Gongsheng¡¯s attack was a unique Spatial attack, and yet it didn¡¯t even harm Zhao Yufei one bit.


    ¡°Spiritual Race! This bloodline trait is definitely the Spiritual Race!¡±


    Emperor Mi Kong took a deep breath and was unable to hide the shock in his eyes.


    The Spiritual Race was ranked 19th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. It was a legendary bloodline that reigned supreme.


    Weng~~


    The ¡°gash¡± on Zhao Yufei¡¯s flawless body started to recover until it fully healed. There wasn¡¯t a single sign of blood.

 678 Eye Inten

    With the bloodline-body of the Spiritual Race, Zhao Yufei was able to easily withstand Nan Gongsheng¡¯s attack.


    ¡°Even the Profound Spatial Slash wasn¡¯t able to harm her?¡±


    Nan Gongsheng was slightly dazed.


    Even Wen Luoan would be damaged if he took the Profound Spatial Slash head-on.


    However, the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were ranked. Wen Luoan was already considered monstrous since his bloodline was ranked in the top one hundred, but the Spiritual Race was ranked in the top twenty.


    After blocking his move:


    Weng~


    Zhao Yufei released a purple glow that turned into hundreds and thousands of powerful beams.


    The terrifying aura of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races seemed to burn the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby as the purple light shot into the sky.


    In that instant, the bloodlines of the disciples and even the Kings started to tremble.


    Apart from the two Emperors, everyone else¡¯s True Yuan and bloodline were suppressed. It was hard for them to even breathe.


    Even the two Emperors felt a slight pressure on their bloodlines.


    Shua!


    Nan Gongsheng turned into a silver figure and flashed away. He didn¡¯t want to clash head-on, so he dodged the first barrage of attacks from Zhao Yufei. However, his blood still started to boil from the counterattack.


    ¡°Her speed, offense, and defense are perfect¡­.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng took a deep breath.


    He felt extremely troubled; although he had both a Spatial Spiritual Body and a Heaven Spiritual Body, they weren¡¯t Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines.


    The Ten Thousand Ancient Races were the top bloodlines since the ancient era, and the top twenty were considered perfect.


    Nan Gongsheng did all he could, including taking out the Qiankun Sword, but he could only suppress Zhao Yufei for a while ¨C he couldn¡¯t defeat her.


    What was unbelievable was that Zhao Yufei¡¯s True Yuan was limitless. In fact, it only became more refined as the fight continued.


    The recovery speeds of most bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were incredibly powerful, and Zhao Yufei¡¯s Spiritual Bloodline allowed her to have a liquid-crystal-like state. Simply put, while the True Yuan of others needed to be stored in their dantian to form the Crystal Core, her entire body was a ¡°dantian¡± that could store power.


    In terms of the amount of energy, those of the Spiritual Race could store ten times to a hundred times more than others of the same cultivation. Therefore, almost no race was the Spiritual Race¡¯s match in a prolonged fight.


    ¡°The Spiritual Race bloodline is indeed powerful. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Sheng¡¯er has now become a King, he would have been utterly defeated.¡±


    Emperor Mi Kong started to sweat.


    The top twenty bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were beyond reach.


    As time passed, the battle was still undecided.


    Although Nan Gongsheng couldn¡¯t defeat Zhao Yufei, he was a King who had spatial secret techniques, so he had no problem protecting himself.


    The fight between the two lasted an entire day and night.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s face wasn¡¯t red, and her heart rate didn¡¯t speed up. She was still the same as normal. On the other hand, sweat started to appear on Nan Gongsheng¡¯s head, and he would occasionally need to use the Qiankun Sword to suppress the opponent.


    At the same instant, in the secret hall of the Emperor¡¯s palace:


    ¡°Yufei¡­ so this is your true strength?¡±


    A voice murmured.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat and the child Demigod both inspected the male who just woke up.


    Hu~~


    His faint purple hair seemed to be a dream as it gave off a wicked perfection.


    Zhao Feng sat up and opened his eyes. His left eye was purple, and it gave off a noble and elegant aura.


    When the child Demigod looked into the purple-colored eye, his heart shook.


    What kind of eye bloodline is this, and what is its relationship with the Eight Great God Eyes!?


    The child Demigod didn¡¯t dare to look directly at the left eye. He screamed in his heart that he was a revived Demigod.


    Of course, the child Demigod only had the beginning bloodline of the Demigod and part of his memories. His knowledge and strength couldn¡¯t be compared to the peak Demigod Kun Yun.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t look at the child Demigod. Instead, he looked through the buildings at the fight on the True King Stage.


    Zhao Feng was only able to see the last parts of the fight between Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng.


    ¡°Yufei has the Little Heaven and Earth as her shield, which has the Purple Saint Partial Spirit merged into it. With the help of the Spiritual Race bloodline, she is undefeatable to those below Emperor-level.¡±


    Zhao Feng was able to analyze Zhao Yufei¡¯s battle-power with extreme accuracy.


    At the same moment, Zhao Yufei¡¯s skin felt cold. It was as if her clothes had been stripped off and she was completely seen through. However, this gaze also had a familiar feeling to it.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Emperor Mi Kong and Emperor Duanmu both sensed something.


    The inspection of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was even more profound than normal Divine Sense, and Zhao Feng took back his gaze when the two Emperors sensed it.


    His eyes then landed on the child Demigod.


    ¡°Hehe, your growth is pretty fast.¡±


    Zhao Feng inspected the child Demigod with a smile.


    Instead of calling it ¡°cultivating from the beginning again,¡± it was more like ¡°recovery.¡±


    The Demigod¡¯s blood essence was extremely powerful, and Zhao Feng had also given the child Demigod some Immortal Springs Wine, some Origin Lifeforce, and other treasures.


    The child Demigod¡¯s skin was covered in faint golden carvings.


    ¡°I couldn¡¯t tell that the Demigod Kun Yun specialized in body-strengthening in the past.¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised by what his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw.


    Right now, the Demigod Kun Yun¡¯s physical body strength was already stronger than the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s.


    ¡°Master¡­¡±


    The child Demigod¡¯s hairs stood on end when Zhao Feng looked at him. It was as if all his secrets had been seen through.


    ¡°Dark Heart Seed!¡±


    A terrifying eye-bloodline power appeared with a surge of purple from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, freezing the child Demigod¡¯s consciousness.


    What a strong eye-bloodline power!


    The child Demigod screamed as his soul and consciousness were restricted.


    The force was extremely dominating, and he could only watch as Zhao Feng set another Dark Heart Seed in him.


    Zhao Feng had already used the Dark Heart Seed on the child Demigod before he slept, but this time, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was much stronger. He used a strengthened version of the Dark Heart Seed.


    The Dark Heart Seed this time had Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye Intent merged into it.


    That¡¯s right ¨C Eye Intent.


    After the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye evolved, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and bloodline had formed Eye Intent.


    Eye Intent was similar to King Intent, but more unique.


    Eye Intent? Only a small number of Soul-based eye-bloodlines that have reached the Void God Realm can have that.


    The child Demigod¡¯s heart went cold.


    Without a doubt, the Dark Heart Seed this time was dozens of times stronger than before.


    One had to know that the Eye Intent from the Emperor of Death in Zhao Feng¡¯s soul still hadn¡¯t faded, but Zhao Feng believed that this time around, he would be able to grind down the Eye Intent faster.


    Only he knew how much of a change the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had gone through.


    ¡°The evolution last time was small compared to this one.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s faint purple hair blew gently in the wind, and a strong surge of confidence and pride emanated from him.


    Last time, the element of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had changed between Ice and Water. The foundation of the change wasn¡¯t very big.


    This time around, a Soul Sea had formed in the dimension of his left eye.


    The compatibility of Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had increased as they merged more and more.


    The Soul Sea was a thousand yards wide, and in the middle of the purple mist was a lake. Azure wind and scarlet-purple lightning clouds intertwined in the air.


    ¡°The change in the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye this time is the soul.¡±


    Zhao Feng got up and slowly started to walk.


    His current soul-energy was several times stronger than normal Kings. He circulated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique as he started to conceal his soul-power.


    One Thought into a Hundred!


    Zhao Feng was able to turn one thought into one or two hundred now, and he was overjoyed.


    Emperor Duanmu had only reached the One Thought into a Thousand level, while Zhao Feng only needed to cultivate it a bit further to reach One Thought into Five-Hundred.


    Immediately following that, Zhao Feng tried to grind down the aura of Death in his Soul Sea.


    The mark left behind by the Eye of Death started to weaken.


    ¡°The speed has increased by several times.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. As long as he got rid of this Death mark, he could finally shake off the Emperor of Death.


    An hour later, with the refinement of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the merging of some Ancient Dream Realm aura, Zhao Feng¡¯s purple-colored Soul Sea had become bigger and his aura had been concealed.


    At this moment, the sparring between Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng had come to an end.


    ¡°Emperor Mi Kong, how about we call this a draw?¡±


    Emperor Duanmu smiled and asked.


    ¡°Sure.¡±


    Emperor Mi Kong couldn¡¯t hope for more.


    Boom! Boom!


    Two Emperor Intents passed through Heaven and Earth and stopped the fight.


    ¡°Your spatial secret techniques are indeed profound. We¡¯ll call this a draw.¡±


    Zhao Yufei smiled.


    Nan Gongsheng had the cultivation of a King and mystic spatial techniques. He was indeed troublesome.


    ¡°Junior Martial Sister Zhao¡¯s Spiritual Race bloodline makes me envious. I can only hold on and not be defeated.¡±


    Nan Gongsheng secretly let out a breath.


    The Spiritual Race bloodline was indeed perfect. He felt rather helpless.


    This Zhao Yufei was younger than him, but it was almost certain that she would catch up to him in the future. After all, the specialty of the Spiritual Race was unparalleled cultivation speed. As long as their mental energy level was enough, they could increase their rank almost limitlessly.


    ¡°Yufei, you did pretty good. You fought Nan Gongsheng to this level without really using the power of the Little Heaven and Earth.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit praised.


    Through this fight, Zhao Yufei¡¯s strength had been refined.


    It could be imagined that, after this fight, Zhao Yufei¡¯s name and her Spiritual Race bloodline would resound across the True Martial Sacred Land.


    On the same day, Zhao Yufei and Duanmu Qing returned to the Emperor¡¯s palace.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, you¡¯re awake indeed.¡±


    Zhao Yufei looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s purple hair with happiness.


    The slight sense of Soul power from Zhao Feng surprised Duanmu Qing. Even he ¨C an Emperor ¨C couldn¡¯t see through Zhao Feng¡¯s full strength.


    Seeing this, Duanmu Qing signaled toward Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, maybe we should spar as well.¡±


    Zhao Yufei smiled.

 679 Zhao Feng Admits Defea

    ¡°Sparring?¡±


    Zhao Feng almost fell over.


    The current Zhao Yufei was very different from the past. Her Spiritual Race bloodline could break through the difference in cultivation and challenge Kings. It was a miracle.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw the fight just now very clearly.


    Both Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei¡¯s strength were much greater than the Zhao Feng from before he fell asleep.


    ¡°What, does Brother Feng not dare to?¡±


    Zhao Yufei smiled and teased.


    Zhao Feng rolled his eyes.


    ¡°From the very beginning in the Zhao Family, I could only look up to you.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyelashes fluttered gently as memories surfaced.


    ¡°Sun Feather City¡­ the Zhao Family¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed.


    The Zhao Family used to be extremely strong in his eyes. Now, it was just a vague memory.


    The relationship between these two got closer, and they stood at the peak of many geniuses.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s teasing didn¡¯t change Zhao Feng¡¯s emotions. He just seemed to remember something.


    ¡°Fine, I accept your challenge.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled. He had the same confidence he had in the past, even though he didn¡¯t have a high chance of winning.


    Zhao Yufei looked at him, and she was slightly dazed as her face became red.


    The image of the youth in her eyes hadn¡¯t seemed to change.


    ¡°Start!¡±


    Emperor Duanmu laughed as a surge of Emperor power enveloped Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.


    Shua!


    The scenery flashed, and they now stood in a dark green dimension.


    Green mountains, grass, lakes, and forests.


    ¡°Master, this is the dimension you opened?¡±


    Zhao Feng revealed a look of surprise.


    The dimension in front of them wasn¡¯t fake; it was real, and it contained the power of Wood.


    Of course, compared to the Purple Saint Ruins or the Demigod Forgotten Garden, this physical dimension was only in its early stages.


    The difference between Kings, Emperors, Sacred Lords, and Demigods could be seen from this.


    Normal Kings could only create spatial domains, not physical domains, whereas Emperors could turn their spatial domains into reality.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t rare. With your current soul level and your eye-bloodline, you¡¯re not very far from opening your own dimension as well.¡±


    Duanmu Qing smiled and said.


    The basis of creating a spatial domain was to have a strong soul and a strong intent.


    I can also do this?


    Zhao Feng was surprised, but then he recalled the illusions he had created in the past with his mental energy. As long as one¡¯s soul and intent were strong enough, mental energy dimensions could turn into domains, then into reality.


    Being an Emperor, Duanmu Qing could turn spatial domains into reality.


    Of course, he could only barely turn it into a physical object. This spatial dimension could be referred to as his own personal little world, but in reality, it didn¡¯t have the foundation of an actual world.


    The objects inside this world were different from the real world to a certain degree. It was like the difference between fresh flowers and decorative flowers, true mountains and fake mountains.


    Zhao Feng knew a lot more after his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye evolved.


    ¡°Reaching this step is already something that billions of other cultivators dream of.¡±


    Zhao Feng calmed down.


    He would try to create his own domain after reaching the Void God Realm too.


    On a green patch of land in the Emperor¡¯s dimension, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei looked at each other.


    ¡°I will restrict your powers.¡±


    Duanmu Qing said, and with a thought, he caused Magnificent Power to descend upon the two.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart dropped. This was Duanmu Qing¡¯s little world, so he represented the Heavenly Dao.


    ¡°All your strength has been restricted to one-tenth of your maximum.¡±


    Duanmu Qing nodded his head. If he didn¡¯t restrict their powers, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei¡¯s fight might destroy his pocket dimension.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, be careful.¡±


    Zhao Yufei smiled as she turned into a streak of purple light.


    So fast!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see how Zhao Yufei moved,


    One had to know that the strength of these two were restricted to 10% of their original power, so it was incredible that Zhao Yufei was still so fast.


    ¡°Purple Wind Lightning Ring!¡±


    Zhao Feng exclaimed lightly as purple gushes of lightning were sent in different directions.


    Boom!


    Zhao Yufei radiated a purple color that took the attacks head-on.


    She just ignored Zhao Feng¡¯s attack. Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed instantly, and a familiar smell appeared in front of him.


    Pa!


    Zhao Yufei waved her hand, and a purple glow slashed toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s True Yuan and bloodline instantly started to flow slower. Zhao Yufei suppressed him in both True Yuan and bloodline power.


    ¡°Break!¡±


    Zhao Feng roared, and dark purple scales appeared on the surface of his body as his defensive Water bloodline appeared.


    At the same time, a burst of scarlet-colored Wind Lightning shot out.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning!¡±


    Emperor Duanmu¡¯s eyes lit up.


    Zhao Feng had now mastered 20-30% of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    Boom!


    The purple light ripped the scarlet-colored Wind Lightning into shreds.


    Bam~~~ Boom!


    Zhao Feng was forced to take three steps back, and his blood boiled.


    The two weren¡¯t even on the same level. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhao Feng¡¯s defensive bloodline and his body were stronger than normal Kings, he probably would¡¯ve already been sent flying.


    ¡°As expected of the Spiritual Race bloodline.¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. The pressure of this fight was extremely big.


    Although his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had undergone a big change, it didn¡¯t help much physically.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s offense, speed, and defense were all flawless.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, I only used 50% of my power just now.¡±


    Zhao Yufei laughed.


    This was the first time she had suppressed Zhao Feng ever since the Zhao Family.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning!¡±


    A pair of burning scarlet-purple wings made of Wind Lightning condensed behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back and radiated a terrifying aura of Destruction.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed and offense both increased dramatically.


    At this moment, his battle-power was incredibly close to that of a King¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng used close combat in order to capitalize on his advantage in power and body.


    Although Zhao Yufei¡¯s True Yuan was extremely strong and she had reached the level of a King, her state of existence and body weren¡¯t as strong as Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    Peng! Bam!


    The scarlet-colored Wind Lightning and the purple glow clashed multiple times, creating holes dozens of yards wide on the ground.


    This was still all under the fact that their strength was limited to one-tenth of their full power.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation is only at the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm whereas Yufei¡¯s is at least comparable to half-step Kings.¡±


    Duanmu Qing sighed.


    It wasn¡¯t a surprise for Zhao Feng to lose.


    ¡°The difference is just too big. I have no chance unless I reach the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm and comprehend 50% or more of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    Even though he was using the Wings of Wind and Lightning, he could barely fight against Zhao Yufei.


    With the unique Spiritual Body Change of the Spiritual Race, it was hard for Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks to break through Zhao Yufei¡¯s defense.


    It wasn¡¯t just him. Even Nan Gongsheng couldn¡¯t.


    On the surface, it seemed that Zhao Yufei hadn¡¯t even used her full power yet.


    A hundred moves later, sweat started to appear on Zhao Feng¡¯s head, and his breathing rate increased.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s expression remained the same. Having a legendary bloodline that ranked in the top twenty of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, she stood at the peak of bloodline geniuses in the world.


    ¡°I admit defeat.¡±


    Zhao Feng calmly stopped the battle.


    There was no meaning if they kept fighting. Even if Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t give it her all, she could drag the battle out and drain Zhao Feng¡¯s energy until he lost.


    ¡°Admit defeat? You haven¡¯t even used your eye-bloodline.¡±


    Zhao Yufei harrumphed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had reached an entirely new level after its recent evolution, but he hadn¡¯t even used it.


    ¡°The change in my God¡¯s Spiritual Eye is based more toward the soul, and a fight in the soul-dimension is too risky.¡±


    Zhao Feng shook his head.


    Damage to the physical body was easy to heal, and Duanmu Qing specialized in the element of Wood and healing.


    ¡°God¡¯s Spiritual Eye? The name sounds like what it should be.¡±


    Duanmu Qing said after deep thought.


    ¡°No.¡±


    Zhao Yufei didn¡¯t hold back, and her gaze was decisive, ¡°This fight hasn¡¯t ended yet.¡±


    She was confident in herself and wanted to defeat Zhao Feng at his fullest.


    ¡°Fine, but I will only use three moves at most.¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly helpless.


    ¡°Okay.¡±


    This time, it was Duanmu Qing that replied for Zhao Yufei.


    Soul techniques were too risky, and Zhao Feng using three moves showed that he didn¡¯t want to make things too risky.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s purple hair blew with the wind and gave off a wicked beauty.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart shook.


    The next instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye created a purple world and radiated a shocking Soul eye-bloodline power.


    In that moment, Heaven Earth Yuan Qi seemed to freeze, and others had the feeling to bow down.


    ¡°What strong Soul eye-bloodline power!¡±


    Even the Purple Saint Partial Spirit in Zhao Yufei¡¯s Little Heaven and Earth cried out.


    Boom!


    A purple eye could be seen in the soul-dimension. It was different from the Eye of Heaven; it existed as pure mental energy, and it contained Eye Intent.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    Zhao Yufei used her Little Heaven and Earth and her half-step King Intent to fight back.


    Her consciousness went cold and her thoughts were restrained.


    Bam!


    Her half-step King intent was defeated as easily as a baby.


    Even though she had the Little Heaven and Earth behind her, it mainly fought against the power of Heaven and Earth, not Eye Intent.


    In the dimension, Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye Intent created Magnificent Power and a terrifying pressure on the soul.


    What kind of monster is this Zhao Feng? He¡¯s just a measly Sovereign Lord but he¡¯s already formed Eye Intent.


    The heart of the child Demigod in the ancient metal ring jumped.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye Intent could probably already suppress Kings, and he had also learned some forbidden eye-bloodline techniques.


    One thing was for sure ¨C Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye Intent could instantly kill any Sovereign Lord or half-step King.

 680 Continent Zone

    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye Intent easily crushed Zhao Yufei¡¯s half-step King Intent.


    Within the soul-dimension, Zhao Yufei¡¯s consciousness was cold, and it trembled uneasily. Her face went red as she was suppressed.


    This was despite the fact that she still had her Little Heaven and Earth behind her back.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye Intent contained a terrifying power that pierced through the soul and could suppress normal Void God Realm Kings.


    ¡°Soul Chains!¡±


    Transparent purple chains of lightning wrapped around Zhao Yufei.


    The Soul Chains trapped one¡¯s soul, and when one¡¯s soul was restricted, battle-power didn¡¯t mean anything anymore.


    ¡°My body¡­¡±


    Zhao Yufei struggled, releasing a glow of brilliant purple. Her skin started to shine, and she seemed to become a crystalline goddess.


    However, physical strength didn¡¯t affect the soul-dimension.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye Intent had condensed his soul-power to the maximum, and it was similar to the Magnificent Power of a King.


    ¡°Limitless Maze!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye became a dreamy purple.


    ¡°Yufei, don¡¯t look at his eyes!¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit warned, but it was too late.


    Shua!


    The scenery in front of Zhao Yufei suddenly turned into a misty maze.


    Although the maze didn¡¯t seem big, she couldn¡¯t reach the exit no matter how far she walked.


    First floor, second floor, third floor¡­ the maze continued limitlessly.


    ¡°The Limitless Maze is a strengthened version of the Illusion City Maze. It makes the target¡¯s consciousness fall into an infinite maze.¡±


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    After the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s evolution this time, his Soul eye-bloodline techniques had the ability to call the wind and summon the rain.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the purple Soul Sea had reached a thousand yards, and it now represented an enormous force. The original blue lake only took up one tenth of the area.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline power had increased dramatically compared to before.


    ¡°Yufei, you need to calm down and break through this illusion with your intent.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said, and a surge of partial intent entered Zhao Yufei¡¯s heart through the Little Heaven and Earth. Zhao Yufei felt her senses strengthen, and the Limitless Maze became somewhat transparent.


    As expected of the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    Zhao Feng praised in his heart.


    Crack!


    The Limitless Maze soon shattered in front of Zhao Yufei. However, before she could react:


    ¡°Mental Energy Spike!¡±


    A cold, faint purple Mental Energy Spike came from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and shot toward Zhao Yufei.


    The Mental Energy Spike was the simplest and most basic Soul attack.


    With the help of Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye Intent, the Mental Energy Spike screeched through the soul-dimension and created sounds of explosions that could shatter normal partial souls before the attack even arrived.


    Boom!


    Zhao Yufei and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit were caught off guard, and a sharp pain came from the bottom of the soul.


    The Mental Energy Spike this time was almost ten times stronger than when it was used against Tu Jiuseng in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as she groaned. The sharp pain travelled across her body, and her soul was slightly injured even though she had the help of the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    ¡°Demonic Eye Erosion!¡±


    A purple eye full of Eye Intent charged into Zhao Yufei¡¯s soul.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s body froze. She still hadn¡¯t recovered from the pain. A strong dominating force halted her consciousness and her thoughts as it entered her body.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s consciousness was suppressed by the Eye Intent, and she couldn¡¯t control her body. At the same time, illusions and nightmares appeared in her mind.


    ¡°Demonic Eye Erosion? That seems to be a technique similar to the Heaven Demon Erosion, but it¡¯s used as a Soul technique!¡±


    Duanmu Qing lightly exclaimed.


    The Demonic Eye Erosion could be considered to be a very high-class forbidden Soul technique. Zhao Feng had comprehended this skill from the Dark Eye Secret Manual, then perfected it with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    This attack compounded the pain from the Mental Energy Spike and caused Zhao Yufei¡¯s mind to become chaotic. Using that chance, Zhao Feng¡¯s Demonic Eye Erosion succeeded.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s mind was chaotic, and her body was almost under Zhao Feng¡¯s control. If he went a bit further, Zhao Feng could completely control her body.


    ¡°Yufei, even though you have the help of the Purple Saint Partial Spirit, your mental energy level is your only weakness.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    He controlled his Demonic Eye Erosion and used different sceneries to affect Zhao Yufei¡¯s mind. Very quickly, Zhao Yufei had entered a state where it seemed as if her cultivation technique had gone wrong.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Demonic Eye Erosion made it so that he was like a bunch of demons trying to enter her body and mind to control her.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s mastery of the Dao of the Soul has already reached such a level!?¡±


    Duanmu Qing and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    They didn¡¯t stop Zhao Feng. The Demonic Eye Erosion was set to a degree where it was more of a trial for Zhao Yufei.


    An hour later, Zhao Yufei finally managed to remove the heart demon from her body, and she was drenched in sweat. She used almost all her energy to accomplish her task, and her face was pale-white.


    ¡°The three moves have ended. That¡¯s the end of the sparring.¡±


    Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    A battle in the soul-dimension was too risky; it wasn¡¯t suitable for normal sparring. However, if it was a normal sparring session, he might¡¯ve been absolutely destroyed by Zhao Yufei.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline is indeed worthy of possibly being the ninth God¡¯s Eye.¡±


    Zhao Yufei sighed.


    It wasn¡¯t much of a secret that Zhao Feng might have the ninth God¡¯s Eye. Duanmu Qing didn¡¯t really believe it, but after witnessing Zhao Feng¡¯s terrifying battle-power, he started to believe a little bit.


    If Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline really was the ninth God¡¯s Eye, his talent would probably be comparable to one of the top ten of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    Through this battle, one could see Zhao Yufei¡¯s Spiritual Race bloodline weakness.


    ¡°The Spiritual Race is considered perfect. If there had to be a weakness, it would be the soul. Although their soul-strength doesn¡¯t excel, it¡¯s still much stronger than normal geniuses.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit sighed. In reality, Zhao Yufei¡¯s soul-strength wasn¡¯t bad, it was just considerably slower compared to her True Yuan talent and cultivation.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s talent is perfectly biased toward the soul. If the two become a couple, they would become an unparalleled combination.¡±


    Duanmu Qing told the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei¡¯s bloodlines both had their advantages, which complemented each other.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, if the two were to get together, then no one will be able to stop the rise of the Duanmu Family.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit nodded her head.


    Still within the Emperor¡¯s dimension, Zhao Feng and company didn¡¯t immediately leave.


    ¡°Brother Feng, I still have something to say.¡±


    Zhao Yufei had a serious expression, and Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    ¡°I¡¯ve inherited my master Purple Saint¡¯s will, and I will complete it for her ¨C to reform the Duanmu Family.¡±


    Zhao Yufei let out a long breath.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart slightly shook. The Duanmu family¡­ wasn¡¯t that the family that Duanmu Qing and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit came from?


    ¡°So, I¡¯ll be leaving with Senior Martial Brother Duanmu soon to go to the continent zones.¡±


    Zhao Yufei explained.


    Duanmu family? Continent zones?


    Zhao Feng was slightly dazed. He didn¡¯t think that such a change would happen so quickly.


    Continent zones were higher ranked than island zones. For example, the Azure Flower ¡°Continent¡± that Zhao Feng used to live was just a small island zone.


    After the Ancient Era was broken, every little speck of dust formed a place known as an island zone. However, apart from all the dust, there were slightly larger pieces known as continents.


    These were true continents.


    Zhao Feng had learned about these legends when he entered the Purple Saint Ruins for the first time.


    Zhao Yufei has successfully inherited the Purple Saint Ruins and refined it into a world of her own. That¡¯s a stunning fortune, but at the same time, she has to do something.


    Zhao Feng understood. One must do something to get something in return.


    Zhao Yufei had to carry out her destiny.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but start to think. Would the original owner of the God¡¯s Eye want him to do something as well?


    ¡°I¡¯m willing to do this.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes were clear and decisive.


    ¡°Yufei¡¯s talent will only be truly realized in the continent zones. We will train her to become an expert that will rule Heaven and Earth.¡±


    Battle-intent appeared in Duanmu Qing¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°What kind of place is a continent zone?¡±


    Zhao Feng was slightly curious. Duanmu Qing and Duanmu Purple Night both came from a continent zone.


    ¡°There are four-star superpowers there. The Cang Ocean and the Southern Descending Ocean are, in theory, the territory of the dynasty.¡±


    Duanmu Qing smiled.


    What!?


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t believe it. Didn¡¯t that mean that the True Martial Sacred Land, the Floating Dream Sacred Land, the Ten Thousand Forest Sacred Land, and all the countless island zones were the territory of the dynasty? This just sounded like a massive lie.


    ¡°When the dynasty was at its peak, its power could be extended up to here, but now¡­¡±


    Duanmu Qing sighed and didn¡¯t say too much.


    Dynasty. Continent.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts spun quickly, and he suddenly remembered the legend about dynasties.


    In the past, on the Azure Flower Continent, dynasties were forbidden. The only ¡°dynasty¡± was destroyed in one night.


    Therefore, there were small countries, strong countries, and great countries, but never dynasties.


    After he thought about it, he now knew why a dynasty was forbidden.


    The Azure Flower Continent, the Tianlu Islands Zone, and even the entire Cang Ocean was in the territory of a dynasty. Apparently, the power of the dynasty wasn¡¯t even as strong as it used to be, but despite that, one could see how strong it was.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, my aunt and I can both see the relationship between Zhao Yufei and you.¡±


    Duanmu Qing looked solemnly toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Master, you mean¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng had his own guesses.


    ¡°Are you willing to come with us and go to the continent zone?¡±

 681 Cultivation

    ¡°Are you willing to come with us and go to the continent zone?¡±


    Duanmu Qing looked at Zhao Feng with a serious expression.


    The dimension was dead-silent as Duanmu Qing and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit both awaited Zhao Feng¡¯s reply. Zhao Yufei¡¯s face was slightly red, and she lowered her head shyly and bit her lips. It was obvious that she was nervous.


    At this moment in time, all of them were waiting for Zhao Feng. Emotions flickered across Zhao Feng¡¯s face before he took a deep breath.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if you come with me to the continent zone, the threat from the Emperor of Death will be reduced dramatically.¡±


    Duanmu Qing said.


    Everyone present knew about the Pursuit of Death.


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit sent him a private message, ¡°Zhao Feng, I know you¡¯re still thinking about your ¡®fianc¨¦e,¡¯ but the chances of her still being alive are basically zero. You and Zhao Yufei have been friends from when you two were young, and your bloodlines complement each other. You two would form an unparalleled combination.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit tried to persuade Zhao Feng. It wasn¡¯t just about the future of her disciple, this could also affect the revival of the Duanmu Family.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath but shook his head, ¡°I will only go to the continent zones after I confirm whether Qinxin is dead or alive. Only then will I follow my heart and leave no flaws behind.¡±


    Hearing that, Zhao Yufei¡¯s body trembled and her eyes went red and teary.


    Duanmu Qing let out a long sigh. He and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit said no more.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s choice followed his heart. He had no regrets. At the same time, this concerned his current heart state ¨C if Zhao Feng went against his heart, it would affect his future cultivation.


    Zhao Feng knew that following Duanmu Qing would reduce the danger to the minimum, but Zhao Feng never forgot his promise or that face. The quiet elegant figure in white who seemed like a goddess from a painting.


    Zhao Feng also thought that the chances of Liu Qinxin being alive were almost zero.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng and company returned to the Emperor¡¯s palace.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we will leave after a few months using the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array. At that moment, you can go to the Floating Dream Spiritual Zone using the array.¡±


    Duanmu Qing told him.


    Zhao Feng bowed and left the palace.


    ¡°Brother Feng, if you¡¯ve chosen her, then I won¡¯t be a third wheel. I will leave.¡±


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s face was pale-white but had a strong decisiveness to it.


    ¡°Yufei¡­!¡±


    Zhao Feng shouted. It seemed that Yufei wanted to form a clear boundary with him.


    Shua!


    Zhao Yufei disappeared, and Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye could see the outline of a small world.


    He sighed and left.


    In the small world of the Purple Saint Ruins:


    ¡°Yufei, don¡¯t get too sad. He¡¯ll return to your side sooner or later.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit said.


    The tears on Zhao Yufei¡¯s eyes hadn¡¯t dried yet, and she bit her lips.


    ¡°But what if she¡¯s still alive¡­?¡±


    Zhao Yufei felt as if a thousand swords had pierced her heart. Did Zhao Feng¡¯s choice mean that his fianc¨¦e was his number one priority? What worried her most was that Liu Qinxin might still be alive.


    ¡°Relax.¡±


    The Purple Saint Partial Spirit comforted, ¡°Liu Qinxin is most likely not alive. Zhao Feng¡¯s just following his heart, otherwise he won¡¯t be able to get past it. You don¡¯t understand men. Don¡¯t trouble him too much.¡±


    ¡°I hope so.¡±


    Zhao Yufei started to laugh. It was like a flower blossoming after the rain, but she was still praying in the bottom of her heart, ¡°Please, please, Liu Qinxin, don¡¯t appear.¡±


    As long as Liu Qinxin wasn¡¯t alive, then no one could threaten her position in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart.


    On the main Spiritual Peak, Zhao Feng returned to his place and started to calm down. Ever since he had used the mermaid tears, his state of heart was as transparent as crystal.


    ¡°There¡¯s still a couple months till I leave the True Martial Sacred Land. I need to use this time to increase my strength and grind down the Intent of Death.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew how important this was. The Pursuit of Death would only get closer and closer.


    Normal Kings were unable to threaten him now, but the Emperor of Death would definitely personally come.


    Zhao Feng split his thoughts into three.


    One of them focused on weakening the Intent of Death, and another comprehended the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning by using the Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine.


    The third focused on comprehending the Wings of Wind and Lightning. In the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Zhao Feng had successfully comprehended the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and opened the path to another road.


    ¡°The Wind Lightning Emperor was most famous for his speed. The Wings of Wind and Lightning are extremely important.¡±


    Zhao Feng knew that.


    The Wind Lightning Emperor was named as the fastest Emperor, and he had successfully run away from even the Purple Night Sacred Lord before.


    ¡°If I can comprehend the intent from the Wind Lightning Emperor and reach the peak of speed, the Emperor of Death wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything to me even if he finds me.¡±


    Zhao Feng was looking forward to that.


    Of all the skills in the world, only speed had no weakness. This logic still applied to Kings and Emperors.


    The Wind Lightning Emperor chased after utmost speed and offense. It was because of this that Zhao Feng used one of the thoughts to comprehend the Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    The three thoughts focused on three different directions.


    Grinding the Intent of Death would decrease the danger.


    Comprehending the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning would increase his strength


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning would increase his chances of escape.


    ¡°Dissolving danger¡­ increasing strength¡­ leaving a route of escape¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s mind was clear as he analyzed it closely.


    This plan could be considered to be perfect. Because he cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, only Zhao Feng was able to focus on three subjects at once.


    Time flew by. A month later, the Intent of Death in Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was slowly weakening.


    Although it wasn¡¯t much, it still had an effect.


    The comprehension of the Wings of Wind and Lightning steadily increased. After all, Zhao Feng had used the Illusion God Wine and already comprehended King Intent and Eye Intent.


    The battle tactics and secret techniques contained within the Wings of Wind and Lightning opened a new door for Zhao Feng.


    The Lightning Wings Flying Technique became more refined.


    Zhao Feng could instantly condense the Wings of Wind and Lightning to evade. Apart from that, Zhao Feng had also comprehended a bit of some secret battle techniques of the Wings of Wind and Lightning, such as the Lightning Wings Wind Flash and the Wind Lightning Wings Slash.


    Lightning Wings Wind Flash ¨C using the Wings of Wind and Lightning to increase one¡¯s speed dramatically.


    Normally, the Lightning Wings Wind Flash could increase one¡¯s speed by up to ten times. The speed of a King was already terrifying, so increasing speed by any amount was difficult, yet the Lightning Wings Wind Flash could increase one¡¯s speed by at least several times and potentially reach up to more than ten times.


    The Wind Lightning Emperor had cultivated the Lightning Wings Wind Flash to the limit and could increase his speed by sixteen times. At that speed, even some Sacred Lords couldn¡¯t catch up to the Wind Lightning Emperor.


    Of course, the energy expended was an enormous amount, so it was only suitable short bursts.


    The Wind Lightning Wings Slash was to use quick rotating lightning wings and slash toward the enemy, causing critical damage.


    Ten thousand years ago, many of those who died to the Wind Lightning Wings Slash were Void God Realm experts.


    Scarlet-colored Wind Lightning appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm, and it contained an aura of Destruction and flames.


    The higher-ranked gold- and dark-gold-colored Wind Lightning contained special intent from the Wind Lightning Emperor, which reduced the energy used to maintain the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning and made it more stable.


    The Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning was too chaotic. Lightning and Fire were both extreme powers, and it had the power of Wind added to it as well.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning is too chaotic and hard to control. It¡¯s easy to injure myself in the later stages.¡±


    Zhao Feng murmured.


    The Wind Lightning Emperor had been injured several times as well due to cultivating the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, including dangers that threatened his life.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see every change in the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning. The possibilities of any elements clashing would be noticed by him before they could happen.


    Over the last month, he had also used the Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine. These two wines were on the same level as the Illusion God Wine, and they had the elements of Fire and Lightning respectively.


    However, the energy contained within the two wines were extremely dominating.


    Even though Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence had reached the stage of a King and his defense was incredibly strong, his body was ravaged by the wines.


    The Dragon Flame Wine contained the flaming aura of the descendants of Ancient Flaming Dragons.


    Zhao Feng felt as if his entire body was on fire when he drank the Dragon Flame Wine, and he almost turned into ashes, but luckily, he had the Water and Ice bloodlines, allowing him to survive.


    The effect of these two wines was shocking, and they greatly increased the amount of Scarlet Destruction True Yuan in Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    The potential of the Dragon Flame Wine, the Lightning Cloud Wine, and the Demigod¡¯s blood burst out in Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Another half a month later, Zhao Feng had finally finished absorbing the two powers, and he reached one step further in his comprehension of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation broke through past the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm and kept on increasing.


    ¡°I¡¯ve comprehended more than 50% of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning. These two wines are indeed worthy of being on the same level as the Illusion God Wine.¡±


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. Everything was still under the basis that he had only drunk a few gulps of the Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine.


    He believed that, if he drank a bit more and cultivated, his Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning would become even stronger.


    On this day, Zhao Feng used the Ancient Dream Realm aura to refine the origin of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, making it more stable. The clash in elements was easily resolved. One had to know that the Wind Lightning Emperor had panicked for a long time about this problem.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    The problem of elements clashing with another had been resolved by him, and now he could try to merge in another killing weapon.


    Weng~~


    A black head appeared in front of Zhao Feng, and it radiated a forbidden aura.


    The hearts of the child Demigod and the little thieving cat in the ancient metal ring both jumped.


    ¡°The head that¡¯s undergone the God Tribulation.¡±


    Excitement and expectation flashed through Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    The power of the God Tribulation countered every source of power of all cultivators in the world.

 682 The Plan of the Ten Thousand Lightning Sec

    The child Demigod and the little thieving cat both moved slightly when the head was taken out.


    This Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning Inheritance is already incredible¡­ if he¡¯s able to merge the power of the Lightning Tribulation, then his power would increase by an entire level, the child Demigod was worried. His strength was recovering quickly, and he was now almost at the middle-stage Great Origin Core Realm, but Zhao Feng¡¯s rate of becoming stronger made him wary.


    The further one went down the path of cultivation, the harder it was. The child Demigod¡¯s cultivation speed could be described as travelling a thousand miles every day, but after reaching the level of a King, his cultivation speed would slow down dramatically. No matter how much potential was in a drop of Demigod blood essence, it was still limited.


    At the same moment in time, some of the Kings within the True Martial Sacred Land that specialized in Lightning sensed the head ¨C especially those from the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect.


    Weng~~


    A scarlet-and-black sword of Lightning within the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect started to tremble, and the chains clamping it down started to clatter. This scarlet-and-black sword of Lightning that was sealed by the nearby arrays started showing signs of unusual action, as if it was excited and scared at the same time.


    Shua!


    Two figures appeared next to the scarlet-and-black sword. Two Emperors could be seen covered in magnificent light: one was an elder with a dark face while the other was a female covered in dazzling colors.


    ¡°The aura of the God Tribulation¡¯s Lightning has appeared again, and this time, it¡¯s even stronger than the two times before¡­.¡±


    ¡°The only thing that is able to make the Lightning Sword uneasy and excited is the God Tribulation¡¯s Lightning. In the past, this Lightning Sword was refined by the God Tribulation¡¯s Lightning, and a genius from a continent zone comprehended the power of Lightning from it and became a God.¡±


    The two Emperors started to talk, and their eyes turned toward the main Spiritual Peak of the True Mystic Sacred Clan.


    The lightning from a God Tribulation was extremely attractive toward the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect who specialized in Lightning. After all, in the past, there was a genius who used this power to reach the peak of this world.


    ¡°If I¡¯m correct, this wisp of God Tribulation Lightning comes from the most important part ¨C the head,¡± the female said after some thought. Her body was covered in multi-colored lightning. Any tiny arc of it was enough to wipe out a small village.


    ¡°The Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan and the True Mystic Sacred Clan have both obtained parts of the God Tribulation corpse, but they definitely won¡¯t give anything to us¡­.¡± the dark-faced elder sighed.


    The Ten Thousand Lightning Sect was the sect closest to a three-star superpower in the True Martial Sacred Land. They had several Emperors, and all of them had extremely strong battle power.


    ¡°Hehe, that might not be so. I heard that Emperor Duanmu will be going to the continent zone soon. That means we might have a way¡­.¡± the female smiled.


    ¡°Oh? What do you have in mind?¡± the eyes of the dark-faced elder instantly lit up. Although the power of the Lightning Tribulation contained in the head of the corpse wasn¡¯t as much as what was already in the Lightning Sword, it could still greatly increase the strength of the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect.


    On the main Spiritual Peak of the True Mystic Sacred Clan, Zhao Feng held his breath as he put his hand on the head of the God Tribulation corpse and felt the aura of Lightning within.


    Boom!


    His entire body seemed to be struck by lightning as an ancient and original aura of Lightning shook his mind.


    ¡°Just a wisp of its aura is already so terrifying,¡± Zhao Feng was stunned.


    One had to know that the corpse had been in the tomb for a very long time, and yet the marks left behind by the Lightning were still clear. The damage caused by the God Tribulation Lightning was almost eternal.


    ¡°It¡¯s too strong. The damage is basically everlasting¡­.¡± Zhao Feng started to understand the characteristics of the God Tribulation Lightning.


    There were many bloodlines, races, and species that had monstrous recovery speed, but they still didn¡¯t undergo the God Tribulation. Over the past several dozen millennia, no one had ever heard of someone becoming a God in the entire Cang Ocean. The power of the God Tribulation was simply too terrifying, and the damage caused was everlasting.


    ¡°If I can merge the intent of the God Tribulation into the Wind Lightning Inheritance, then the power of my Lightning will increase by at least ten times.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart trembled.


    This was also why the child Demigod within the ancient metal ring was worried. Although the Wind Lightning Inheritance was a peak inheritance, there was still quite a difference compared to the Purple Saint Inheritance and a couple others. Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning Inheritance was even countered by Lei Zhen¡¯s Lightning Spiritual Body. However, everything would change if the power of the God Tribulation Lightning was merged into it.


    Within the room, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and started to feel and comprehend the power of the God Tribulation Lightning from the head. During this process, the lightning within his body kept shaking.


    It would be a long process to absorb the power from the God Tribulation Lightning. The God Tribulation Lightning had touched upon the laws of Heaven and Earth, and it far surpassed Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning Inheritance.


    Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t figure out where to start, so he gained nothing in the first two days apart from adapting to the pressure from the head.


    ¡°Master, one must have a unique Lightning Spiritual Body to comprehend the God Tribulation Lightning, or you must have the comprehension level of an Emperor that specializes in Lightning,¡± the child Demigod warned. He was implying that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t meet the requirements.


    ¡°I have my own plans,¡± Zhao Feng snickered coldly. After all, this head was the child Demigod¡¯s in the past, so there was a connection between them.


    Right at this moment, above the main Spiritual Peak, several chaotic Emperor auras arrived.


    ¡°The junior named Zhao Feng, come out!¡± a dominant voice sounded through the air.


    Hmm? Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he put away the head of the corpse.


    Three Emperors were floating in the air, and they radiated a shocking aura of Lightning. The Wind Lightning True Yuan within Zhao Feng¡¯s body trembled uneasily. The level of their Lightning was too strong; they were comparable to the Wind Lightning Emperor.


    ¡°Dark Lightning Emperor!¡± some Kings and Emperors within the Mystic True Sacred Clan exclaimed as their Divine Senses scanned through the air.


    There was a total of three Lightning Emperors present. On the left and right, there was a female clad in multi-colored lightning and a dark-faced elder respectively. At the very center was a tall male in black armor, and he was surrounded in black lightning. Looking from afar, he seemed like an Emperor of Darkness.


    ¡°The aura of this Dark Lightning Emperor is extremely strong. He¡¯s on the same level as Master¡­.¡± Zhao Feng was stunned.


    The Kings and Emperors on the main Spiritual Peak were filled with wariness.


    ¡°The Dark Lightning Emperor is the number one Lightning expert in the Cang Ocean, and he has unparalleled battle power amongst Emperors.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s because of him that the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect is the strongest two-star sect, only below the three-star superpowers.¡±


    At least a couple dozen Divine Senses were present, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t come out. A bunch of Emperors wasn¡¯t something he could take on.


    ¡°Dark Lightning Emperor, why are you here?¡± a familiar male voice sound in the air.


    Shua!


    Emperor Duanmu with his white hair appeared opposite the three Ten Thousand Lightning Sect Emperors. In just a short while, another two Emperors appeared as well ¨C Emperor Gu Luo and Emperor Mi Kong. Including Duanmu Qing, there were three more Emperors, and all the other Kings and Emperors of the clan used their Divine Senses to watch.


    ¡°Get Zhao Feng out here,¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor said while he was floating in the air. Only Duanmu Qing and a few other Emperors in the Mystic True Sacred Clan could be compared to him.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    In an instant, dozens of Divine Senses flew over from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.


    Emperor Duanmu¡¯s expression changed as he realized why the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect dared to come here ¨C they had the support of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan. On top of that, Emperor Duanmu was about to leave the clan. This was premeditated.


    ¡°Dark Lightning Emperor, if you don¡¯t give us a good reason, we won¡¯t let you see Zhao Feng,¡± Emperor Gu Luo smiled faintly, and the atmosphere became tenser.


    ¡°Sure, I will tell you the reason we¡¯re here,¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor gave a long laugh. The main Spiritual Peak was dead-silent.


    ¡°Back when the Wind Lightning Emperor wasn¡¯t an Emperor yet, he joined our sect as a guest. During that period of time, he stole many Lightning techniques that would make him famous in the future. We then sent out experts to kill him, but that thief was too fast, and he was named the fastest Emperor,¡± speaking up to here, the Dark Lightning Emperor paused slightly, and his gaze scanned over the other Emperors.


    ¡°We¡¯ve heard about this before,¡± Emperor Mi Kong started to think, and some of the older Emperors nodded their heads. What the Dark Lightning Emperor said was true.


    ¡°Indeed, the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s attitude was shit, and he used his unparalleled speed to steal treasures and resources from others.¡±


    ¡°I heard that he offended the Purple Night Sacred Land and was killed some time after escaping a couple times.¡±


    These discussions came from some other Emperors. At this point in time, most of the upper echelons of the entire True Martial Sacred Land were gathered here.


    ¡°It¡¯s good that everyone¡¯s a witness,¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor nodded his head.


    ¡°But how is that related to Zhao Feng?¡± an Emperor¡¯s Divine Sense snickered.


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s related,¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor said without hesitation. ¡°That junior is the inheritor of that thief¡¯s legacy, and according to the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect¡¯s rules, we will kill all outsiders who cultivate our techniques!¡±


    Kill! Hearing this, everyone started to talk.


    ¡°What would all of you do if your secret techniques were distributed by a thief?¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor asked.


    ¡°We¡¯d kill them or cripple their cultivation and wipe their memories,¡± some Divine Senses agreed.


    In reality, most forces did this in order to keep their cultivation secrets under their control. Not many people dared to spread the core skills of their force. Even the Mystic True Sacred Clan had punishments if someone did that.


    ¡°Is all of that real?¡± Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Duanmu Qing¡¯s expression changed slightly, but he didn¡¯t disagree.


    ¡°The Wind Lightning Emperor was indeed a thief who did a lot of bad stuff¡­.¡± the Purple Saint Partial Spirit recalled.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. It was all real. Then, according to the rules of their sect, the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect had the right to ¡°take back¡± what was theirs.

 683 Clash of Lightning 1

    In the air above the main Spiritual Peak, several Void God Realm Emperors faced each other silently. Surges of Divine Sense gathered here and communicated with each other.


    The Wind Lightning Emperor stole the essence of many Lightning techniques from the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect and then created his own Wind Lightning style from them¡­. only now did Zhao Feng know the truth.


    Dozens of millennia ago, the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s attitude was horrible, and he stole a lot of things. The Divine Senses present didn¡¯t argue. Even the Purple Saint Partial Spirit said nothing. That was simply reality.


    No wonder the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect dared to come here. As the situation within the True Martial Sacred Land was currently balanced, reason had priority. Furthermore, the Dark Lightning Emperor and company had the support of the Thousand Darkness Clan behind them.


    What made it even more complicated was that Duanmu Qing was about to leave the clan, which meant that the Mystic True Sacred Clan¡¯s support toward him definitely wasn¡¯t as strong as before.


    What a cunning plan! Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold, but at the same time, a question arose ¨C what benefits did the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect get out of this?


    ¡°Just say what you want, otherwise, harassing my disciple will make me your foe,¡± Duanmu Qing snickered coldly as he started to release his Magnificent Power.


    ¡°Of course we don¡¯t want to be Emperor Duanmu¡¯s enemy,¡± the female in multi-colored lightning smiled, and Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes flashed. As he thought, they had a purpose. No matter what, Zhao Feng was a Core disciple of a three-star superpower, and he had an Emperor as a master.


    Even the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect didn¡¯t want to offend a Void God Realm Emperor for no reason.


    ¡°As long as Zhao Feng hands over the Wind Lightning Inheritance and the Demigod¡¯s head, we¡¯ll let this go. How does that sound?¡± the dark-faced elder said, and the experts from the Mystic True Sacred Clan all understood ¨C the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect¡¯s true goal was the Demigod¡¯s head.


    So that¡¯s it. Zhao Feng knew clearly; the head was a priceless treasure for the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect, while the Wind Lightning Inheritance had peak speed and offense. These two items were very attractive to the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect.


    ¡°We can resolve this peacefully, otherwise the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect will have to stand against the Mystic True Sacred Clan,¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor said coldly, and the expressions of some Kings and Emperors from the Mystic True Sacred Clan changed dramatically.


    ¡°The Ten Thousand Lightning Sect dares to threaten us with this¡­?¡± Emperor Gu Luo and Mi Kong looked at each other, and their hearts dropped.


    In the True Martial Sacred Land, the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect was the strongest two-star sect, and it was the most likely to become a three-star superpower. However, the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect had always been neutral, and it was the core of an alliance of some two-star forces. If the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect swayed toward the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, that would be extremely bad for the True Martial Sacred Clan.


    At this moment in time, the upper echelon of the Mystic True Sacred Clan broke out into discussion.


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡± a cold voice suddenly appeared.


    A purple-haired youth appeared below Emperor Duanmu and company.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s come out!¡± many Divine Senses and gazes landed on this cold youth.


    ¡°Brat, what do you have to say?¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor snickered and released his chaotic Lightning power.


    Zhao Feng knew that he would have no chance of resistance against an Emperor. Emperors were at the peak of the Void God Realm. There was a great difference between them and Kings.


    ¡°Firstly, the Wind Lightning Emperor is already dead. His enmity with the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect from back then has dissolved. I¡¯m not related to him in any way,¡± Zhao Feng acted as if he wasn¡¯t a part of it.


    If Zhao Feng was the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s disciple or son, then it would be different. However, he was Duanmu Qing¡¯s disciple.


    ¡°Atrocious!¡± the dark-faced Emperor roared, ¡°The Lightning inheritance you cultivate belongs to the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect, so the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect has the right to take it back!¡±


    ¡°Wrong!¡± Zhao Feng yelled back.


    Everyone present paused.


    ¡°The Lightning Inheritance that the Wind Lightning Emperor cultivated wasn¡¯t purely the Dao of Lightning. His inheritance has already exceeded the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect,¡± Zhao Feng said emotionlessly.


    Exceeded the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect.


    The eyes of Emperor Duanmu and company lit up. That¡¯s right, and that point was very important. Every skill in the world had similarities. If the Wind Lightning Inheritance had exceeded the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect¡¯s skills, then it was no longer related to the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, the Wind Lightning Inheritance isn¡¯t just a pure Dao of Lightning anymore.¡±


    ¡°Although the Wind Lightning Emperor was horrible, he did create his own force.¡±


    The Divine Senses in the air interacted.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s face was full of mockery, ¡°The Wind Lightning Emperor surpassed his martial ancestors and merged the Dao of Lightning and the Dao of Wind together, becoming the fastest Emperor.¡±


    Surpassed his martial ancestors. Zhao Feng placed great emphasis on that.


    ¡°Brat¡­!¡± the three Emperors in the air were so angry that they started to shake and grind their teeth, but this was reality. Thinking back, none of the experts from the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect were able to handle the Wind Lightning Emperor. After the Wind Lightning Emperor became an Emperor, the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect could only return unwillingly. This part of history was a great humiliation.


    ¡°The Ten Thousand Lightning Sect is full of tricks, and they¡¯re just using such an excuse to try to get the Demigod¡¯s head and the Wind Lightning Inheritance,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s tone became louder, and at the end, the expressions of the three Emperors were ugly.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­! Good!¡±


    ¡°The Ten Thousand Lightning Sect is just a bunch of shameless bastards that want to steal from others!¡±


    Emperor Duanmu and several other Kings and Emperors started to laugh.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared and waved a white flag and danced around.


    ¡°Brat, don¡¯t you dare try to accuse us!¡± the voices of the three Emperors started to tremble and their expressions were extremely ugly. They wanted to release their anger, but merely Duanmu Qing and company were enough to stop them. This was the Mystic True Sacred Clan¡¯s territory; even if they had ten thousand more guts, they wouldn¡¯t dare to attack here.


    ¡°You three better scram,¡± Duanmu Qing gently waved his sleeve.


    It wasn¡¯t a matter of reason anymore since both sides had their perspectives.


    However, how could the three Emperors from the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect leave so easily when they had planned for such a long time? The Dark Lightning Emperor and the other two started to discuss in private with ugly expressions.


    ¡°Although I can challenge Duanmu Qing, his Wood techniques counter us,¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor said.


    ¡°Why not do this¡­?¡±


    The three soon had a plan.


    A couple breath later:


    ¡°Brat, you said that the Wind Lightning Emperor surpassed his martial ancestors and the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect,¡± the female said.


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Zhao Feng replied without hesitation. That was the critical point of his argument.


    ¡°Then let us see if the Wind Lightning Inheritance has indeed exceeded the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect¡¯s skills,¡± a smile appeared on the female¡¯s face.


    ¡°Wait, he¡¯s just a junior. If you want to fight, I¡¯m here,¡± Duanmu Qing said.


    The three Emperors shook their heads. They obviously wouldn¡¯t challenge Duanmu Qing. Duanmu Qing was an elite Emperor, and he cultivated the Dao of Wood, which perfectly countered Lightning.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we let the number one genius of our sect, Lei Zhen, face Zhao Feng? That way, he¡¯ll be able to prove whether what he says is true or not,¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor slowly said. They were Void God Realm Emperors, so it wouldn¡¯t be right if they were the ones to spar against a junior who was only twenty-something years old.


    ¡°En, that¡¯s a good idea.¡±


    ¡°Since both sides are arguing, let them use their strongest geniuses to decide the victor.¡±


    The Divine Senses present approved. They were the Kings and Emperors all across the Sacred Land, and they obviously wouldn¡¯t decline a good show.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, what do you say?¡± Duanmu Qing asked.


    ¡°Sure,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Seeing Zhao Feng nod his head, the mouths of the Dark Lightning Emperor and company curled upwards into a smug smile.


    A tall, barefoot male with a large sword arrived at the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    ¡°Lei Zhen,¡± Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised to see him.


    Lei Zhen cultivated the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique, and he had a Lightning Spiritual Body that was able to counter most Lightning skills in the world.


    ¡°He has become stronger,¡± some Core disciples looked over at Lei Zhen with wariness.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re only allowed to use the Wind Lightning Inheritance in this fight. Winning by any other method doesn¡¯t count,¡± the female smiled and said.


    ¡°That isn¡¯t fair!¡± Duanmu Qing¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    If those were the rules, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t allowed to use his eye-bloodline or any of his Soul techniques. The Wind Lightning Inheritance would just be absorbed by Lei Zhen¡¯s Lightning Spiritual Body, so how was Zhao Feng even supposed to fight?


    ¡°You need to prove that the Wind Lightning Inheritance does indeed surpass the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect¡¯s skills, which means you have to do it this way,¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor snickered coldly.


    Hearing that, no one could say anything. They were fighting about whether the Wind Lightning Inheritance exceeded the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect or not. If Zhao Feng used other methods, it wouldn¡¯t prove anything.


    ¡°Hehe, furthermore, you must defeat Lei Zhen. If it¡¯s a draw, that can¡¯t prove that the Wind Lightning Inheritance surpasses the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect,¡± the dark-faced Emperor smiled cunningly as he emphasized ¡°surpass.¡±


    Ahh!? The Divine Senses present were stunned. The Ten Thousand Lightning Sect was just too shameless.


    The biggest advantage of the Wind Lightning Inheritance was its speed. Even if Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t able to take care of Lei Zhen¡¯s Lightning Spiritual Body, he still had a chance to tie by using his speed, but it seemed like the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect was prepared for that.


    ¡°Our requirements are reasonable. If it wasn¡¯t like this, how would one prove that the Wind Lightning Inheritance truly exceeds the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect?¡± the expressions of the three Emperors were smug.


    Zhao Feng was also speechless. These three Emperors were even more cunning than a fox.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if you lose or draw, you need to hand over the Demigod¡¯s head and the Wind Lightning Inheritance,¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor said.


    ¡°Hehe¡­ and what if I win?¡± Zhao Feng laughed as he emphasized ¡°what if.¡±


    The three Emperors paused. They didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng still had a possibility of winning by restricting him so much.


    ¡°How about¡­ if I win, you give me the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique?¡±

 684 Clash of Lightning 2

    ¡°Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique? Don¡¯t even think about it, brat!¡±


    ¡°That technique is our sect¡¯s top technique, and the oldest divine technique of Lightning in the Cang Ocean.¡±


    The three Emperors had strong reactions. Zhao Feng¡¯s request was ridiculous and almost made them roar out in anger.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you don¡¯t have a unique Lightning Spiritual Body, so the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique won¡¯t even be of much use to you,¡± the female in multi-colored lightning smiled.


    Zhao Feng knew that point as well. Even the Wind Lightning Emperor wasn¡¯t able to cultivate the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique when he was in the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect, which is why he had to go down another path and ended up comprehending the Dao of Wind Lightning.


    However, Zhao Feng knew one thing for sure; the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique¡¯s foundation was better than the Wind Lightning Inheritance¡¯s.


    The only problem was that the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique had too high of a requirement on body type. Usually, there was only one suitable genius every ten thousand years. However, once someone who did have the unique Lightning Spiritual Body came along and was able to cultivate the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique, their strength would increase dramatically, and they would be able to counter all Lightning techniques.


    Lei Zhen had broken through to the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm, and the aura of Lightning radiating from him was even stronger.


    ¡°In terms of practical use, the Wind Lightning Inheritance surpasses the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique. That and the Demigod¡¯s head will be my bet,¡± Zhao Feng said.


    Everyone understood; this was a clash of reason. Since Zhao Feng would have to hand over the Wind Lightning Inheritance and the Demigod¡¯s head if he lost, then the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect needed to place a bet of equal value, and Zhao Feng directly asked for the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique, the foundation of the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect.


    The foundation of my Wind Lightning Inheritance isn¡¯t strong enough. If I can get the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique¡­ that and the Demigod¡¯s head may push it to another level, Zhao Feng had his plans.


    Although the Wind Lightning Inheritance was strong, there was still a difference between it and the Purple Saint Inheritance, the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique, and some of the other techniques of Sacred Lords. The Wind Lightning Inheritance would only allow Zhao Feng to reach the peak Emperor level, and he might barely manage to touch the level of the Mystic Light Realm, whereas the Purple Saint Inheritance and the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique could be cultivated to the Demigod level and even touch the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    ¡°If we don¡¯t agree to his bet, then that brat won¡¯t fight,¡± the three Emperors from the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect started to discuss. Overall, the Wind Lightning Inheritance and the Demigod¡¯s head were enough to be wagered against the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique.


    After all, the Wind Lightning Inheritance created the fastest Emperor, and even the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique wasn¡¯t as fast compared to it, while the Demigod¡¯s head was quite valuable to the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect.


    ¡°Okay, we agree,¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor nodded his head seriously.


    In order to make sure Zhao Feng didn¡¯t play any tricks, the Dark Lightning Emperor asked several Emperors to be witness. The Demigod¡¯s head and the Wind Lightning Inheritance was basically in their hands.


    Zhao Feng only smiled and didn¡¯t say anything.


    A while later, on the True King Stage of the main Spiritual Peak, Zhao Feng and Lei Zhen stood and faced each other.


    Several neutral Emperors were the judges. There were dozens of Kings and Emperors watching this battle, which had become the center of attention for the entire True Martial Sacred Lands.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, according to the bet, you must use the Wind Lightning Inheritance to win. If you use any other methods like your eye-bloodline, you lose,¡± an Emperor-level judge said.


    ¡°Understood,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    If they didn¡¯t restrict him, his Eye Intent alone could defeat Lei Zhen. The three Emperors from the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect obviously saw that Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was at least at the same level as a King.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your Wind Lightning Inheritance is useless against me,¡± Lei Zhen licked his lips.


    They had fought a short fight in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Zhao Feng had used his half-step King Intent and was still at a slight disadvantage even though Lei Zhen didn¡¯t use all his strength.


    ¡°We¡¯ll see,¡± Zhao Feng remained emotionless.


    ¡°Start!¡±


    As soon as the words sounded, two figures moved at almost the same time.


    Whoosh!


    A scarlet figure and a five-colored figure sped around the True King Stage.


    Their speed had reached a peak. People who cultivated the Dao of Lightning all specialized in speed, and almost no one under the Void God Realm was able to clearly see how the two moved.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s speed is still a bit faster,¡± the Divine Senses around the True King Stage could see it clearly.


    The Wind Lightning Inheritance had merged the Dao of Wind and the Dao of Lightning together, so it had unparalleled speed.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng unleashed the first attack as he sent a scarlet-and-purple-colored claw of Wind Lightning over. It was several hundred yards wide and radiated an aura of Destruction.


    ¡°Petty tricks!¡± Lei Zhen made no signs of dodging. A bright yellow lightning carving appeared over him, forming a suit of lightning armor.


    Crackle!


    The claw of Wind Lightning caused several explosions as it landed on Lei Zhen. The bright yellow armor of lightning cracked a little bit.


    ¡°Hahaha, it¡¯s useless; my Lightning Spiritual Body and my Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique counters all lightning in the world!¡± Lei Zhen stood still, and he was unharmed.


    Hmm? Zhao Feng realized that part of the power of Lightning in his attack was absorbed by Lei Zhen. That meant that, instead of injuring Lei Zhen, his attack had very likely increased the opponent¡¯s strength instead.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Thunderous Lightning!¡± Lei Zhen roared as he spread his arms, and bolts of multi-colored lightning descended from the sky, causing Heaven and Earth to flash.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Thousands of bolts shot toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°The Lightning Spiritual Body can summon so much lightning! How strong!¡± some disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan were stunned. How could anyone below the Void God Realm clash with this?


    ¡°Wind Lightning Hundred Change!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s body released a bright ball of lightning.


    Shua! Shua! Shua~~~~!


    In an instant, a hundred figures of Zhao Feng spread out across the stage. The Ten Thousand Thunderous Lightning lost track of Zhao Feng¡¯s true body.


    Although the Ten Thousand Thunder Lightning was a wide-range attack and could almost threaten Kings when gathered together, a single bolt or two of lightning couldn¡¯t harm Zhao Feng¡¯s true body.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The figures on the True King Stage were destroyed, but a technique like the Ten Thousand Thunderous Lightning used a lot of energy, so it couldn¡¯t be used continuously.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Ten figures of Zhao Feng suddenly charged toward Lei Zhen.


    ¡°It¡¯s coming!¡± Lei Zhen¡¯s lips curled up. It didn¡¯t matter whether the true body was hidden amongst the ten.


    ¡°All of you shall remain here!¡± a light flashed across Lei Zhen¡¯s eyes as he suddenly gripped the giant sword on his back.


    Booooom!


    Several thousand arcs of lightning landed on the giant sword and formed a terrifying amount of power.


    ¡°Lightning Summoning Sword Technique!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s that forbidden sword technique!?¡±


    Some Void God Realm Kings around the True King Stage exclaimed. The Lightning Summoning Sword Technique was just what the name suggested ¨C it summoned the limitless power of Lightning from Heaven and Earth, then condensed it onto the sword. It could unleash power up to ten times stronger than one¡¯s own power.


    This sword technique was extremely dangerous, and it could result in being blown to bits by lightning.


    Bam! Boom! Boom!


    Lightning gathered in the sky above the True King Stage, and there was an aura of doom as all of the lightning condensed onto the sword.


    ¡°The power of that sword is comparable to the all-out attack of a King.¡±


    ¡°No ¨C it¡¯s even stronger than normal Kings.¡±


    The limitless power of Lightning formed a storm that instantly covered half the True King Stage.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    Everything in sight was replaced by a brilliant flash of light, and some of the spectating disciples could no longer see or hear anything.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s true body was also caught by it,¡± the Divine Senses of some Emperors could clearly see what happened. All ten figures were fake, but Zhao Feng¡¯s true body was waiting nearby.


    Bam! Whoosh!


    The ten figures were instantly destroyed, and Zhao Feng¡¯s true body was also enveloped by the attack.


    ¡°Hmm!?¡± some Void God Realm Kings exclaimed. Zhao Feng was killed so easily?


    ¡°He¡¯s in the air!¡± some Emperors lightly exclaimed.


    Lightning Wings Flying Technique!


    Shua!


    A dreamy and blurry light flew by, and it seemed to have the ability to break through space as it flew into the air. It wasn¡¯t just Wind and Lightning anymore, it now also involved the laws of Space.


    A purple-haired male with wings made of Wind and Lightning behind him floated above Lei Zhen.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­!?¡± Lei Zhen exclaimed. He had just finished his attack, and his body was currently weak. Furthermore, after the lightning in the sky was absorbed by the giant sword, there was a flaw there, and Zhao Feng had appeared there precisely.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s wings fluttered.


    Boom!


    A raging surge of scarlet-colored Wind Lightning condensed into a punch and landed on Lei Zhen.


    Peng!


    Lei Zhen screamed as he was sent flying. His armor of lightning shattered, and scarlet flames of Wind Lightning burned across his body. The Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning contained a burning effect.


    Wah!


    Lei Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood, and he sat down on the ground as the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning raged across his body.


    His body was now burnt black. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he had a Lightning Spiritual Body and cultivated the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique¡­ any other half-step King would have been burnt into dust.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning!¡±


    ¡°That brat¡¯s actually cultivated the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning to such a level!? And he¡¯s managed to resolve the dispute between the elements?¡±


    The expressions of the three Ten Thousand Lightning Sect Emperors changed dramatically.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning was unexpectedly strong. It had far surpassed the level when he was in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. They didn¡¯t know that Zhao Feng had obtained the Dragon Flaming Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine from the Demigod¡¯s wine cellar.


    On top of that, the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning was being controlled perfectly. Even the Wind Lightning Emperor wasn¡¯t able to do that when he was at this stage.


    Hmph, my Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning has already surpassed the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s when he was at this cultivation level, a smile of mockery appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    His Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning had the Ancient Dream Realm aura merged into it, and the flaming Destruction power was closer to its original essence. Not only was it more stable, it was also stronger.


    The biggest mistake that the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect made was that they measured Zhao Feng by the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s standards.


    As Zhao Feng said, he had surpassed his martial ancestors.

 685 Lightning Wings Battle Techniques

    Plop!


    Lei Zhen fell onto the ground, and a faint layer of scarlet Wind Lightning burned across his body. Zhao Feng¡¯s attack had severely injured him.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    ¡°The Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning of that brat has exceeded the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s when he was at this level.¡±


    Discussion broke out near the True King Stage.


    The Kings and Emperors were stunned. Zhao Feng had surpassed his martial ancestors.


    The Wind Lightning Emperor surpassed the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect and became the fastest Emperor, and now, Zhao Feng¡¯s mastery of Wind Lightning had exceeded the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s when he was at the same level.


    ¡°We¡¯ve underestimated this brat,¡± the expressions of the Dark Lightning Emperor and company were solemn.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng¡¯s mastery of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning had exceeded their expectations. Usually, someone below the Void God Realm could only comprehend the edges of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, but Zhao Feng had already comprehended over 50% of it.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng actually managed to resolve the problem of the elements clashing. Not only had his Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning become more stable, he had more control over it.


    ¡°As expected of Brother Zhao Feng. In just a short span of a month or two, his strength has increased by so much,¡± Zhao Yufei appeared close to the True King Stage.


    The battle today was slightly weaker than the fight between Nan Gongsheng and her. Last time, Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng¡¯s battle power completely reached the level of Kings.


    ¡°Lei Zhen, you¡¯re not my match even if I don¡¯t use my eye-bloodline,¡± Zhao Feng was floating in the air, and the Wings of Wind and Lightning behind him were extremely agile. They looked like real feathers. His Wings of Wind and Lightning were almost realistic.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned over Lei Zhen, as well as the Dark Lightning Emperor and company.


    ¡°I¡­ haven¡¯t lost yet!¡± Lei Zhen roared as Water Lightning appeared around his body and got rid of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    The reason he lost just now was because of speed.


    Weng~~


    Lei Zhen¡¯s momentum started to rise as he gave off an ancient Lightning aura.


    An ancient figure of Lightning started to form behind Lei Zhen¡¯s back. The figure held hammers and had glowing eyes. His aura seemed to come from ancient times, and he brought a devastating power of Lightning with him.


    ¡°Shadow of the Lightning Spirit!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s summoned the Shadow of the Lightning Spirit!? Isn¡¯t he scared of the toll it¡¯ll take on him?¡±


    The expressions of the knowledgeable Void God Realm experts near the True King Stage changed dramatically when they saw this.


    Right as the Shadow of the Lightning Spirit behind Lei Zhen¡¯s back started to form and reach the power of a King:


    ¡°Wind Lightning Wings Slash!¡± a sharp glint of light fluttered through the air and left behind an afterimage.


    Immediately afterward:


    Shua!


    The figure of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning seemed to break through the dimensions of space as it flashed across Lei Zhen.


    ¡°Argghhh!¡± Lei Zhen yelled and fell onto the ground. At the same time, the Shadow of the Lightning Spirit behind him dimmed down and faded away.


    No one below the Void God Realm understood what happened. Only some Emperors looked at Lei Zhen¡¯s legs.


    Plop!


    Lei Zhen¡¯s legs suddenly split with his body after he landed on the ground. The weird thing was that, after his legs were cut off, there weren¡¯t any traces of blood anywhere, and Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning burned across his body.


    ¡°Quick, save Zhen¡¯er!¡± the female in multi-colored lightning exclaimed and appeared next to Lei Zhen along with the other two Emperors of the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect.


    In the Sacred Land, being injured wasn¡¯t much of a problem, but the damage that Lei Zhen sustained wasn¡¯t normal. The Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning contained the intent of Destruction in its burning lightning. If they didn¡¯t react in time, he could become a cripple.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath, and he used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique to leave the True King Stage in case he was hurt by the three Emperors in their rage.


    The moment just now was indeed dangerous. If the Shadow of the Lightning Spirit was successfully formed, Zhao Feng would have to face an expert at the King level; therefore, Zhao Feng no longer held back, and he immediately used his Wind Lightning Wings Slash.


    The Wind Lightning Wings Slash was a profound battle technique that utilized the Dao of Space. It could be said that this technique contained the core essence of the Wind Lightning Inheritance ¨C absolute speed and absolute power.


    ¡°His power is able to threaten Kings!¡± the Void God Realm Kings present were slightly wary.


    Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng had arrived one after the other. The moment the latter arrived, he saw Zhao Feng use his Wind Lightning Wings battle technique to slice off Lei Zhen¡¯s legs.


    ¡°If he used the Wing Lightning Wings Slash and ambushed a King, it would have a high chance of success,¡± Nan Gongsheng¡¯s expression was solemn. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even use his eye-bloodline or his soul in this fight.


    ¡°Hehe, do you three Emperors have anything to say? Everyone here saw that Zhao Feng used the Wind Lightning Inheritance and defeated the number one genius of your sect,¡± Duanmu Qing laughed. In reality, he had been somewhat doubtful as Zhao Feng¡¯s forte was restricted, and he could only use the Wind Lightning Inheritance to defeat Lei Zhen, whose body and technique countered all lightning.


    The expressions of the Dark Lightning Emperor and company were grim as they managed to stabilize Lei Zhen¡¯s injuries.


    ¡°En, Zhao Feng did indeed win this fight. There¡¯s no doubt.¡±


    ¡°The reason why Zhao Feng won was due to speed. This is the biggest advantage the Wind Lightning Inheritance has against the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect.¡±


    The neutral Emperor judges all nodded their heads.


    Like that, Zhao Feng retrieved his Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique. The Dark Lightning Emperor and company were unwilling, but they couldn¡¯t do anything; there was no doubt about who had won and who had lost.


    Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique, Zhao Feng took the sacred technique of the Lightning Dao and scanned through it with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. With his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye¡¯s current abilities, he could copy all its contents just by looking at it once.


    A copy of the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique soon appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. The copy he made wasn¡¯t just the words in it, but a full copy of the book itself.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you don¡¯t have the Lightning Spiritual Body required, so the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique is useless to you,¡± the Dark Lightning Emperor snickered coldly.


    Although they had lost the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique to Zhao Feng, the three Emperors made Zhao Feng swear an oath that he wouldn¡¯t spread it.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng burned the copy of the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique into ashes.


    The three Emperors were all stunned. It seemed as if Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even read the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique.


    ¡°Even Emperors aren¡¯t able to read through it so fast,¡± the experts present were dazed. Did Zhao Feng destroy the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique just to humiliate the Ten Thousand Lightning Sect since he knew he couldn¡¯t cultivate it?


    ¡°This brat¡­¡± the expressions of the three Emperors kept flickering.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t bother with them. He turned into a streak of light and returned to his own place.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we¡¯ll be using the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array to leave a month later,¡± Duanmu Qing warned,


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped, and he immediately agreed.


    He didn¡¯t have the qualification to use the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array alone. Even Duanmu Qing needed to pay a certain price to use it.


    Zhao Feng would be leaving the Sacred Land with Duanmu Qing and Zhao Yufei. If his master left, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t have anyone to rely on, so he obviously wouldn¡¯t stay here.


    The Ten Thousand Lightning Sect also knew that, which is why they came. Unfortunately, their plan was unsuccessful, and they lost even worse than what they could have expected.


    After returning to where he was staying, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes started to flicker. He currently had the protection of Duanmu Qing, so he wasn¡¯t scared of the Emperor of Death¡¯s pursuit, but once he left the Sacred Land and split up with his master, he might face a new round of pursuit.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath and closed his eyes.


    He started to circulate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique in his Soul Sea and kept on grinding down the Death Intent.


    ¡°The Intent from the Eye of Death has weakened by 60-70% now,¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    If he stopped using the power of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and concealed his aura, then the sensing from the Intent of the Eye of Death would become one-tenth of its original force. However, Zhao Feng still felt as if this wasn¡¯t enough.


    ¡°In the past, it was just the Emperor of Death¡¯s subordinates. At this point, the Emperor of Death himself will come, and his senses are definitely stronger than the Death Guards.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt uneasy, and he spent half of his energy on weakening the Intent. Apart from that, Zhao Feng used the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique in order to find some special methods that could hide his aura.


    He also kept cultivating, but the progress of comprehending the God Tribulation Lightning was progressing slowly.


    Zhao Feng also couldn¡¯t cultivate the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique.


    The Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique had merged together the Metal, Wood, Fire, Water, and Earth elemental Lightnings. Without a unique Lightning Spiritual Body, it was indeed impossible to cultivate it.


    The reason why Zhao Feng wanted it was to study its essence and increase the rate of his comprehension of the God Tribulation Lightning. After all, the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique contained the intent of ten thousand types of Lightning.


    Seven days later, Zhao Feng let out a long breath. He had reached a bottleneck in terms of comprehending the God Tribulation Lightning.


    He decided not to use the remaining Lightning Cloud Wind and Dragon Flaming Wine.


    Firstly, continuous use would reduce their effects.


    Secondly, it was unstable to keep using outside products.


    Thinking about his situation, Zhao Feng momentarily stopped focusing on the Wind Lightning Inheritance.


    ¡°Illusion God Wine!¡±


    A small purple-colored crystal cup appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand. He only had half a cup remaining.


    His soul was stronger than normal Kings, and he had formed Eye Intent. Even if he didn¡¯t use the Illusion God Wine, he would be able to comprehend a complete King Intent soon.


    ¡°I¡¯ll save the last bit of Illusion God Wine until after I become a King.¡±


    Zhao Feng had his long-term goals.


    The Illusion God Wine was still useful to Kings, but it wasn¡¯t as effective.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng put away the Illusion God Wine.


    ¡°It¡¯s time to go scout the Ancient Dream Realm.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered his Soul Sea and into the whirlpool at the center of the lake. In the next instant, Zhao Feng entered an ancient dimension, and the aura of the Ancient Dream Realm descended.


    The pressure here was countless times stronger than the Demigod Forgotten Garden. In the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Kings could fly, but all they could do here was go for a walk.


    This time, Zhao Feng was able to withstand more of the pressure.


    Ta! Ta!


    Zhao Feng took one step after another. Although the pressure was strong, he felt it was more bearable compared to before.


    He finally had the ability to actually move around in the Ancient Dream Realm.

 686 Battle in the Ancient Dream Realm

    After the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence, body, and soul had all reached an entirely new level, and he felt like it was much easier to handle the Ancient Dream Realm compared to before.


    ¡°If I just stand still, I can stay here for a day or two without any trouble.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly walked forward and scanned around cautiously with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Last time he was here, he met an ancient bird that was even stronger than a King. It was hard to imagine how strong the bigger beasts might be; therefore, Zhao Feng was extremely careful and wary.


    Ta! Ta! Ta!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s footsteps were stable and solid. If he felt tired, he would sit down and recover.


    Breathing the aura of the Ancient Dream Realm cleansed Zhao Feng¡¯s body, bloodline, and even his soul, but the effect was now much weaker. After all, Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence and soul had now reached the level of a King.


    Ahead was a patch of grass. Next to the grass was a small stream. This patch of grass was Zhao Feng¡¯s first goal.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make it to that patch of grass first.¡±


    Zhao Feng estimated that he would need around a thousand steps to reach it.


    A thousand steps would¡¯ve been difficult for Zhao Feng half a year ago. At that time, it would¡¯ve been pretty good if he could¡¯ve taken ten or twenty steps, but now that his soul and body had become stronger and his compatibility with the Ancient Dream Realm had risen, he could walk several hundred steps without any problem.


    Ten steps¡­ a hundred steps¡­ a hundred and fifty steps¡­.


    Zhao Feng was extremely careful.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng saw a black dot flash through the sky.


    ¡°Hmm? Is that a sparrow?¡± Zhao Feng paused slightly.


    The aura of the sparrow wasn¡¯t as strong as the bird from before, but it had reached the Sovereign Lord Rank.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was fully tensed up, but the sparrow didn¡¯t bother with Zhao Feng and simply flew by.


    ¡°Looks like the Ancient Dream Realm is similar to reality; not all existences have the ability to attack for no reason,¡± Zhao Feng let out a breath and started to walk a bit faster.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye started to notice some smaller beings such as ants and insects. The aura of all these beings were powerful, and the weakest was comparable to the Sovereign level.


    ¡°Even the weakest creatures in the Ancient Dream Realm are so strong even without cultivating,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook.


    Of course, although these beings weren¡¯t as strong as Zhao Feng, they weren¡¯t suppressed by the Ancient Dream Realm aura since they were natives.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts spun with curiosity. What kind of world was the Ancient Dream Realm? If it was just a dream realm, why did any damage also apply to reality? If it was just his consciousness that had entered here, why could the aura here benefit his true body?


    Zhao Feng had an instinct that, if he died here, he would also die in reality.


    The Ancient Dream Realm was just too weird. What kind of secret relationship did it have with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye?


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any answers.


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t worry about all that right now. Let¡¯s just see if I can get anything good,¡± Zhao Feng took back his thoughts.


    If just a wisp of aura from the Ancient Dream Realm was so useful, then what about the other things inside?


    ¡°Let¡¯s see if I can find some kind of fruit or something,¡± Zhao Feng thought aloud as his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye started to look around.


    Fruits would only be found in a forest, but the landscape of a forest would be complex, and Zhao Feng might face the attacks of some powerful existences,


    ¡°I¡¯ll go to the stream first.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye looked at the stream on the other side of the grass. Would the ¡°water¡± here be any different? Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped.


    However, to reach the stream, he first needed to reach the grass, which was almost a thousand steps away.


    ¡°Two hundred steps¡­ three hundred steps¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing rate quickened after several hundred steps.


    ¡°I¡¯ll rest for a while first.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t in a rush, so he sat down. He still had seven or eight hundred steps left to go, and the distance from the grass to the stream was at least ten times more than that.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s energy started to recover. Right at this moment:


    Sii! Sii!


    Zhao Feng heard a strange sound and jumped up in fright at what he saw on his left.


    A multi-colored snake around a meter long slowly slithered by.


    Snake! Zhao Feng hiccupped and was instantly on guard.


    If just a wisp of aura within the Ancient Dream Realm was so strong, then the native beings in here were definitely not going to simple, especially a snake.


    As if sensing a weird aura, the multi-colored snake suddenly tensed up and looked coldly at Zhao Feng.


    The two were only ten meters apart, and Zhao Feng could feel a faint sense of danger from it as they stared at each other.


    The aura from this snake is stronger than that sparrow but weaker than the first bird I saw, Zhao Feng thought.


    Weng~~


    Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning around the thickness of a needle started to form in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm. His power was restricted far too much in the Ancient Dream Realm, and Zhao Feng guessed that his Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning would fade away soon after it left his body.


    ¡°No, I need a weapon.¡±


    An Earth-Grade sword soon appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    To the current Zhao Feng, a normal Earth-Grade weapon wasn¡¯t of much value anymore. His wealth was comparable to at least a Void God Realm King and couldn¡¯t be measured by normal standards.


    This Earth-Grade sword was about 1.5 meters long, and it was extremely sharp. With this sword, Zhao Feng felt a lot more confident, and he didn¡¯t need to worry about using his fists to fight an unknown, probably-venomous snake.


    At the same moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye locked on to the multi-colored snake.


    A cold glint of light flashed through Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes, and the Earth-Grade sword in his hand flickered with a scarlet light as it slashed toward the multi-colored snake.


    The snake¡¯s reaction wasn¡¯t slow.


    Sou!


    It leapt into the air and bit toward Zhao Feng.


    In terms of speed and agility, it surpassed Zhao Feng. After all, it was a native of the Ancient Dream Realm, so it didn¡¯t need to deal with the pressure.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s advantage was that he had attacked first, and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see how the snake moved. Therefore, even though Zhao Feng was slightly slower and less agile, his Earth-Grade sword still slashed onto the multi-colored snake¡¯s head.


    Ding!


    A weird sound came from the sword as a strong recoil caused Zhao Feng¡¯s body to waver. At the same time, the snake hissed and retreated. On its head was a faint burning mark.


    ¡°What a strong body!¡±


    Zhao Feng had slashed out as hard as he could since this dimension rejected him and forced him to use more power.


    Sou!


    The multi-colored snake charged toward Zhao Feng, who used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to lock on to the snake as a scarlet-colored light formed around the sword.


    Boom!


    The sword pierced through the air toward the snake and into its mouth. Zhao Feng shook slightly, but the sword entered the snake¡¯s mouth and into its organs, where the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning burned.


    Siii!


    The snake struggled furiously. In the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was heavily restricted, and his power wasn¡¯t enough to instantly kill the snake.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame!¡±


    With a thought, Zhao Feng sent a transparent scarlet-colored thumb-sized fire toward the head of the multi-colored snake, where it exploded. Snakes were scared of fire, and Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye Flame could burn through both the mental and the physical dimensions.


    A couple breaths later, the snake stopped struggling as half its body burned. Zhao Feng walked over and extinguished the fire, then picked up the burnt body of the snake.


    ¡°Who knows what effects this snake meat will have?¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    The body of this snake was extremely strong, and it had been in the Ancient Dream Realm since birth; it shouldn¡¯t be simple.


    Shua!


    With a thought, Zhao Feng disappeared from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Back in reality, the little thieving cat was sitting on his body and absorbing the remaining Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat looked at the half-burnt snake meat with excitement and hunger.


    ¡°Little Kun Yun,¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t give the snake meat to the little thieving cat and instead called out the child Demigod.


    The child Demigod was still the size of a two- or three-year-old kid, and he was still covered by a faint golden glow.


    Zhao Feng knew that the Demigod Kun Yun was a body cultivator, otherwise his original corpse wouldn¡¯t have been preserved for so long.


    ¡°What kind of snake meat is that?¡± the child Demigod stared at the half-burnt meat and felt the unusual aura coming from it.


    ¡°This is for you,¡± Zhao Feng handed over the snake meat to the Demigod Kun Yun and ordered him to eat it in front of them.


    Although the child Demigod only looked to be two or three years old, he was a body cultivator, and his body was already stronger than the skeletal Division Leader.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try it,¡± the child Demigod didn¡¯t dare to go against Zhao Feng even though he knew he was being treated like a little white lab rat.


    On the other hand, the little thieving cat looked enviously at the snake meat. The child Demigod glanced at it smugly, then took out a sharp dagger before slicing toward the snake meat.


    ¡°It¡¯s so tough,¡± the child Demigod¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, and he was only able to cut the snake meat after using most of his power. The child Demigod then took a piece of the meat and roasted it with his Dan Fire and took a small careful bite out of it.


    When the snake meat entered his stomach, the child Demigod¡¯s expression changed dramatically. He instantly sat down and circulated his True Yuan.


    ¡°The Origin Heaven Earth aura contained within the snake meat is even more powerful than heart blood essence,¡± the child Demigod was overjoyed.


    Just a single bite of the snake meat improved his True Yuan, blood, and body.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and leapt toward the snake meat.


    ¡°It¡¯s mine!¡± the child Demigod roared angrily and fought with the little thieving cat for the remaining snake meat.


    By the end, the little thieving cat had the advantage, and it took two-thirds of the snake meat. The child Demigod had several cat-claw marks on his face, but he didn¡¯t care about that as he ate the remaining snake meat.


    Zhao Feng looked at the Demigod and little thieving cat with a weird face.


    ¡°Master, where¡¯d you get this snake meat from? Is there any more?¡± the child Demigod licked his lips. He realized that the aura within the snake meat increased the recovery speed of his Demigod bloodline.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s black eyes spun and also revealed an obedient expression.

 687 Resources

    Zhao Feng first made the child Demigod eat the snake meat, using him as a lab rat. However, the snake meat from the Ancient Dream Realm contained a source of Heaven Earth aura that helped strengthen one¡¯s body.


    Zhao Feng cut a piece off himself and tasted it. The flesh of the snake had a stronger effect than even the whale¡¯s heart blood essence, and the Ancient Dream Realm aura contained within it was also extremely thick.


    ¡°My body has absorbed too much Ancient Dream Realm aura, and I¡¯ve already used the heart blood essence, purple scaled grass, Demigod¡¯s blood, and whatnot. The snake meat isn¡¯t very effective for me,¡± Zhao Feng circulated his True Yuan to digest the essence contained within the snake meat.


    Although the value of the snake meat was high, it also had its weaknesses.


    Firstly, the effect wasn¡¯t very strong for someone whose state of existence had reached the Void God Realm.


    Secondly, the snake meat was really tough and hard to digest. Anyone below the Origin Core Realm might not even be able to digest it at all, but the child Demigod and the little thieving cat both couldn¡¯t be measured by normal standards; they could absorb the snake meat¡¯s effect within the shortest amount of time possible.


    ¡°Master, this snake meat can be refined into a Spiritual Blood Essence Pill, which can allow even those below the True Spirit Realm to absorb it easily,¡± the child Demigod suggested. Some resources that were hard to digest could be crafted into pills, and as someone who was a Demigod in his prime, the golden-skinned child knew how to make pills.


    ¡°This type of snake meat can only be found by luck,¡± Zhao Feng faintly shook his head. He didn¡¯t want to reveal the secret of the Ancient Dream Realm. That was a place where he could mine precious resources.


    The child Demigod couldn¡¯t help but be disappointed. If he had a large amount of that meat, his state of existence and bloodline would be able to recover quickly.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat looked suspiciously at Zhao Feng but didn¡¯t make any weird sounds. It felt like the snake¡¯s aura was extremely familiar.


    Zhao Feng said no more. He was still cautious toward the child Demigod.


    ¡°Master,¡± a voice sounded from the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl. It was the skeletal Division Leader.


    After leaving the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Zhao Feng had gathered large amounts of resources and gave some to the skeletal Division Leader. Now, the skeletal Division Leader had reached the Great Origin Core Realm. On top of that, Zhao Feng had given control of the cursed ghost-corpses to it, including the Sovereign Lord ranked golden skeleton.


    The cursed ghost-corpses couldn¡¯t really threaten Kings, so they were now useless to Zhao Feng. Of course, after absorbing almost a hundred Sovereign essences, the power of the array had increased dramatically, and it was almost unparalleled against anyone below the Void God Realm.


    ¡°Master, after the corpses absorbed that mysterious aura, their potential has increased dramatically, and some have even became Sovereigns,¡± the skeletal Division Leader reported.


    Oh? Zhao Feng was surprised.


    When he was at the Eternally Sealed Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, he had indeed put a bit of the Ancient Dream Realm aura into each of the cursed ghost-corpses. He didn¡¯t expect that some of them had now become Sovereigns.


    Many factors were involved:


    Firstly, the cursed ghost-corpses had already absorbed large amounts of blood essence from beasts.


    Secondly, the Ancient Dream Realm aura and the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl had both helped them as well.


    ¡°Do you have any ideas?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Master, if you¡¯re willing to put in more resources and add in some more of that mysterious aura, I believe that all these cursed ghost-corpses can become Sovereigns. At that time, the curse will be able to threaten even Kings,¡± the skeletal Division Leader said.


    As Zhao Feng became stronger, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s value decreased. It couldn¡¯t allow itself to lose all value, and the hundred cursed ghost-corpses were the only things it had that were valuable.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng started to think. If the cursed ghost-corpses all became Sovereigns and then devoured a couple Kings, their power would definitely become shocking.


    ¡°As for resources¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. He recalled the Ancient Dream Realm. If the cursed ghost-corpses could devour the beasts inside the Ancient Dream Realm, the efficiency would be much better than killing normal Sovereigns. Furthermore, all the beings inside the Ancient Dream Realm had an ancient and original aura.


    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll leave the specifics to you,¡± Zhao Feng agreed.


    At first, he wasn¡¯t very interested in the cursed ghost-corpses, but since he had the Ancient Dream Realm, it would be a waste not to use it.


    A while later, Zhao Feng sat down and put his consciousness into the Ancient Dream Realm once more.


    Within the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng appeared at the place where he had left. There were still marks of the fight with the snake there.


    His goal was still the grassland ahead, and Zhao Feng saw that there was a bunch of tiny animals around the grass.


    Of course, his next target would be the stream. As a source of water, the stream should have many animals and beasts around there, and he also wondered what effect the water itself would have. After all, water was vital to life.


    Zhao Feng remained cautious on the way, and he would take care of the insects, snakes, rats, rabbits, and whatnot along the way.


    Zhao Feng realized that the Eye of Ice Soul complemented the Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame perfectly. The Eye of Ice Soul decreased the speed of the smaller animals, and although their physical bodies were strong, there was a big difference between their souls and Zhao Feng¡¯s


    After killing them, Zhao Feng would throw most of these corpses into the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl. He was able to use his interspatial ring in the Ancient Dream Realm. Everything that happened here would also happen in reality.


    After devouring the flesh and blood of these animals, the cursed ghost-corpses became stronger. On the first day alone, several cursed ghost-corpses reached the Origin Core Realm.


    Now, all the cursed ghost-corpses were either half-step Sovereigns or complete Sovereigns.


    ¡°Great¡­!¡± the skeletal Division Leader in the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl was stunned. The speed of breaking through was just too fast. If this continued, all the cursed ghost-corpses would become Sovereigns within ten days. At that time, the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array would rise to an entirely new level.


    Furthermore, the flesh and blood of these animals were also useful to the skeletal Division Leader, who used them to strengthen its bones.


    On the third day, Zhao Feng successfully reached the patch of grass. A majority of his time during the first two days was used on killing the small animals.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s footsteps started to quicken after reaching the grassland.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the stream now.¡±


    Zhao Feng mainly wanted to see what the effect of the water within the Ancient Dream Realm had, but the distance from the grass to the stream was ten times as long as before.


    On the way to the stream, Zhao Feng sped up, and he would only kill the animals close to him.


    On the fifth day of Zhao Feng being in the Ancient Dream Realm, over half of the cursed ghost-corpses had become Sovereigns.


    The skeletal Division Leader trembled with excitement. Once its goal was complete, it would be able to threaten even Kings with the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    On the sixth day, Zhao Feng reached the edges of the grassland.


    Huala! Di! Da!


    A stream dozens of meters wide appeared ahead.


    ¡°I¡¯m finally here,¡± Zhao Feng let out a long breath.


    Over the past couple days, he had stayed the entire time in the Ancient Dream Realm, and his bloodline and body had both become stronger, even though the effect wasn¡¯t too obvious.


    After reaching the stream, Zhao Feng became more cautious and wary.


    Being a source of water, there were occasionally bigger animals such as wolves, deer, and whatnot around, which were harder for Zhao Feng to kill.


    If he met wolves, tigers, or eagles, there was a certain amount of danger. It was good that Zhao Feng had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, which allowed him to notice such dangerous animals from very far away.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take some water first.¡±


    Zhao Feng walked to the stream, and he didn¡¯t forget to use his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to inspect the water. This was just a small stream, so it didn¡¯t have any bigger animals like crocodiles.


    Di! Da!


    Zhao Feng took out the Green Spiritual Gourd and filled several bathtubs¡¯ worth of water.


    Right at that moment, chaos broke out near the stream. Some of the deer and cows that were currently drinking scattered.


    Woooooooo!


    The cry of wolves made the hearts of those nearby go cold. Zhao Feng looked to the side and saw more than a dozen wolves charge over with a bloodthirsty aura.


    These wolves were here to drink water and kill nearby animals. Zhao Feng was also one of the targets.


    Go! with a thought, Zhao Feng disappeared from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Each of these wolves were ten times stronger than the multi-colored snake from before, and they were good at teamwork. Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was restricted in the Ancient Dream Realm, so he would be at a huge disadvantage if he faced the pack of wolves.


    Within the room, Zhao Feng took out the Green Spiritual Gourd, and the little thieving cat who was sitting on his shoulder looked at it with glowing eyes.


    Zhao Feng smiled and gave the little thieving cat a barrel¡¯s worth of water.


    Gulu!


    The little thieving cat drank a couple gulps in satisfaction, then sat down. Zhao Feng also took a sip and felt a calm, cool feeling travel throughout his body.


    His Ice and Water bloodlines started to move and absorb the mysterious power within the water.


    ¡°Hmm? This water can heal one¡¯s body, and it¡¯s easy to absorb,¡± Zhao Feng was surprised.


    The effect of the water was about the same as the meat from before, but it was much easier to absorb. Zhao Feng drank large gulps of water and found that his state of existence and even his bloodline showed signs of becoming stronger.


    ¡°The water from the Ancient Dream Realm is comparable to some of the precious liquids of the Fan Universe,¡± Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    If he drank this for a long time, his body and bloodline would benefit a lot from it.


    Zhao Feng estimated that a sip of this water was worth one one-thousandth of a drop of the Demigod¡¯s blood. Of course, as time passed, its effect would weaken.


    For the next several days, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t enter the Ancient Dream Realm. Instead, he sat down and, apart from drinking the stream water, focused on comprehension and grinding down the intent from the Eye of Death.


    Several days later, a strong surge of Intent appeared from the room where Zhao Feng was staying.


    Boom!


    Wind howled and lightning crackled in the sky above, causing the Heaven and Earth nearby to change color. The birth of a new Magnificent Power seemed to purposely try to conceal itself as it disappeared within a couple breaths, but even then, it raised attention from some Kings of the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally formed King Intent,¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    He didn¡¯t need to use the remaining half a cup of Illusion God Wine; he was able to form his own King Intent by himself.


    Since he had the foundation of his comprehensions already, as well as a powerful soul, forming complete King Intent wasn¡¯t very hard for him.


    In addition, Zhao Feng had used the Dragon Flaming Wine, the Lightning Cloud Wine, and large amounts of meat and water from the Ancient Dream Realm, so his Crystal Core had reached the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm.

 688 Setting Sail 1

    After the King Intent was formed, every aspect of Zhao Feng reached the limit. It would be hard for him to have any major breakthroughs within a short amount of time. A cultivation at the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm was also incredible.


    Other than his cultivation, Zhao Feng¡¯s state of existence, body, and soul had all reached the level of a King.


    At this moment, at least ten Divine Senses scanned across the area where Zhao Feng lived.


    No matter how low-key Zhao Feng tried to be, the birth of a new King Intent was unable to be concealed.


    The owners of these Divine Senses all sighed. A youth only twenty-three years old had a cultivation of the Great Origin Core Realm and was already able to comprehend King Intent. What kind of miracle was that?


    The potential that Zhao Feng displayed already surpassed Nan Gongsheng¡¯s. Only Zhao Yufei, who had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race, could suppress Zhao Feng in terms of cultivation speed.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re improving at a very fast rate, but we¡¯ll be leaving in ten days¡¯ time¡­.¡± Duanmu Qing¡¯s voice sounded.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was enough to challenge Kings, but in the face of the Pursuit of Death, even Emperors weren¡¯t able to survive.


    ¡°Ten more days,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head solemnly. There were only ten days of protection from living in the True Martial Sacred Land left, but that wasn¡¯t his final destination.


    Floating Dream Spiritual Zone¡­ Sky Saint Qin Palace¡­. Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    His path of cultivation would be clear and straightforward after confirming whether Liu Qinxin was alive or dead.


    Zhao Feng officially stopped cultivating for the last ten days. He continued grinding down the Intent from the Eye of Death.


    His exiting seclusion raised the attention of many members of the clan. The fight with Lei Zhen had made Zhao Feng famous and given him the title of the number one genius of the Lightning Dao.


    Zhao Feng left the main Spiritual Peak. This was the first time he had left the clan¡¯s territory after exiting the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    Zhao Feng flew toward the Golden Mountain Sect and scanned his Divine Sense across the entire place. He soon saw Old Li, the King in blue robes, Li Yunya, Loulan Zhishui, and the other sailors.


    ¡°Zhao Feng!¡± the blue-robed King exclaimed as he sensed Zhao Feng¡¯s King-level Divine Sense.


    He was shocked; how long had it been? Not even a year had passed yet! The ant in his eyes had now formed complete King Intent.


    The main difference between the Void God Realm and the realms below was the soul and their Intent, and Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and Intent were both already completely transformed. The door to becoming a King was wide open to him. Zhao Feng only needed a year or two at most to become a King.


    A while later, in a side hall of the Golden Mountain Sect, Zhao Feng, the blue-robed King, and Old Li sat together and started to chat.


    Zhao Feng was now a legendary genius and rising star within the True Martial Sacred Land. He had revealed his light during the disciple ceremony, and he managed to copy the plan from several thousand years ago to invade the Mermaid Kingdom, obtaining mermaid tears and the Illusion God Wine.


    Afterward, Zhao Feng only became more famous. The fight with Lei Zhen, and his potential to surpass the Wind Lightning Emperor, shocked the entire Sacred Land.


    The blue-robed King and Old Li both sighed in their hearts when they met Zhao Feng again. Zhao Feng was even more terrifying than the rumors ¨C he had formed King Intent.


    Old Li took Zhao Feng to see Loulan Zhishui, Li Yunya, and company a while later.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we¡¯ve asked some array masters to strengthen your Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship,¡± Old Li smiled and said. Although Zhao Feng stayed on the main Spiritual Peak of the True Mystic Sacred Clan, he had maintained contact with Old Li.


    ¡°Captain¡­.¡± Li Yunya and Loulan Zhishui wanted to speak, but they stopped.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned over them and instantly knew the situation very clearly. After entering the Sacred Land, Loulan Zhishui and Li Yunya were soon accepted into the Golden Mountain Sect, and Loulan Zhishui became a rising star of the Golden Mountain Sect while Li Yunya became a Deacon. The two had already successfully integrated into the Golden Mountain Sect.


    The thirty-three two-star sects within the True Martial Sacred Land were all peak two-stars that far surpassed the two-star forces of the outside world. How glorious was it to be one of the members of a Sacred Land?


    ¡°You can decide whether to stay or leave. I won¡¯t force you,¡± Zhao Feng said calmly.


    Without much hesitation, Li Yunya decided to stay. Staying in a Sacred Land was a dream-come-true for him, and he couldn¡¯t go back to his original sect even if he wanted to.


    Loulan Zhishui glanced at Zhao Feng with a complex and guilty expression.


    The purple-haired youth in her sight had become distant. She had witnessed the miracle of his rising. The first time they met, he was only a ruffled blue-haired youth.


    ¡°Okay, I understand,¡± Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised, and he wasn¡¯t angry.


    Loulan Zhishui looked downward with guilt. Back at the Eight Desolate Mountain, she agreed to become a sailor on Zhao Feng¡¯s ship, but the promise was now coming to an end.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, from today onwards, you shall be the vice-captain of the ship,¡± Zhao Feng gently waved his hand.


    Shua!


    The skeletal Division Leader appeared. Its bones were covered with dark golden lines, and its aura was much stronger than before, even surpassing Li Yunya¡¯s.


    ¡°What¡­!¡± Li Yunya¡¯s heart jumped in disbelief.


    Not only had the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s cultivation reached the Sovereign Lord rank, the strength of its bones had reached the peak Sovereign Lord level. It was unlikely that many people below the half-step Void God Realm would be a match for the skeletal Division leader.


    ¡°Understood, Master,¡± the skeletal Division Leader laughed wickedly as it took the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship and the other sailors.


    The size of the ship hadn¡¯t become any bigger, but its other aspects were all stronger. Zhao Feng paid a huge price that hurt Old Li just by looking at it.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Zhao Feng took the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship and returned to the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    Before he left, Zhao Feng gave Old Li two interspatial rings.


    ¡°Please give one of them to the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord. The other one is for the Golden Mountain Sect, which Old Li can distribute as he wishes.¡±


    Old Li gripped the two interspatial rings and took in a cold breath when his Divine Sense entered them. The amount of treasure contained within the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord¡¯s interspatial ring was enough to make the eyes of even Kings go red. As for the one meant for the Golden Mountain Sect, the amount of treasure was greater than the amount of treasure Old Li had saved over his entire lifetime.


    Furthermore, according to what Zhao Feng said, this was just some compensation; he would also owe the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord a favor.


    ¡°I have to admit that the two of you made the wrong decision,¡± Old Li sighed gently as his eyes scanned over Li Yunya and Loulan Zhishui.


    Li Yunya and Loulan Zhishui could obviously see the stunning amount of treasures that were in the interspatial rings.


    One had to know that Old Li was a half-step King. Li Yunya and Loulan Zhishui wouldn¡¯t receive anything. With Zhao Feng¡¯s help, they managed to enter the True Martial Sacred Land, which was already their biggest reward.


    After returning to the main Spiritual Peak, Zhao Feng packed his stuff, while the skeletal Division Leader officially took over the Blue Lightning Sea Sky Ship.


    Zhao Feng let the sailors go and gave them their rewards.


    ¡°Master, give me some time and I¡¯ll be able to turn this ship into a ghost ship,¡± the skeletal Division Leader laughed. After becoming the vice-captain, it made some of the smarter ghost-corpses become sailors.


    After staying in the Ten Thousand Ghost Peal for so long, different types of zombies, spirits of hatred, and other corpses had formed.


    If he was willing, Zhao Feng could even go down the path of the Ten Thousand Ghost Emperor and form his own army. It wouldn¡¯t be just a wish to wipe out a two-star force later on. However, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t too interested in the Dao of Ghost-Corpses. His main cores were still the Wind Lightning Inheritance and his Soul eye-bloodline techniques.


    That thought would be better if it was handed over to the skeletal Division Leader.


    As the ten-day deadline was closing in, Zhao Feng finished all the problems and didn¡¯t have anything to do over the last five days.


    He went to find Nan Gongsheng and talk to him.


    Of course, he didn¡¯t go find him to fight. Instead, he wanted to talk about the theories behind the Dao of Space.


    Zhao Feng comprehended the Lightning Wings Flying Technique after observing and incorporating part of Nan Gongsheng¡¯s laws of Space. Zhao Feng still needed to perfect it, so he wanted to learn from Nan Gongsheng himself.


    Nan Gongsheng didn¡¯t decline; he was also interested in Zhao Feng¡¯s understanding of the laws of Wind and the laws of Lightning. In terms of speed alone, even Nan Gongsheng wasn¡¯t as fast as Zhao Feng.


    The two sparred and talked for two or three days, and they both gained some understanding. Zhao Feng learned a lot from inspecting Nan Gongsheng¡¯s spatial techniques.


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning technique contains even more powerful Lightning Wings Spatial techniques, and they can travel thousands of miles in one breath¡­. Zhao Feng thought.


    The Lightning Wings Flying Technique was more suitable for running from or pursuing others. In the past, the Wind Lightning Emperor used this skill to escape even from Sacred Lords.


    After returning to his place, Zhao Feng took out the little thieving cat. The little thieving cat also specialized in Space, so Zhao Feng wanted to learn from it as well.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat disappeared in an instant and appeared on the top of the room the next instant.


    Its spatial techniques were related to the Dao of Assassination, so they were usually dead-silent.


    Zhao Feng realized that the little thieving cat relied more on its bloodline, and it exceeded the parameters of normal spatial techniques. However, even then, Zhao Feng was able to learn from the little thieving cat.


    After combining Nan Gongsheng¡¯s techniques, the little thieving cat¡¯s techniques, and the Wind Lightning Inheritance, Zhao Feng was able to perfect his technique even more.


    ¡°If this succeeds, my speed will reach an entirely new level.¡±


    Zhao Feng slowly closed his eyes. For the final two days, he kept his eyes shut and merged the various skills together.


    A plan started to form in his mind ¨C merge spatial techniques into the Wings of Wind and Lightning. With that, he could break through space itself while flying.


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning on their own were just like a bird who had reached its fastest speed; there wasn¡¯t really a way to push the wings themselves any faster, but if he could use spatial techniques and shrink the distance travelled to one-tenth or one-hundredth of the actual distance, then the overall speed would be ten times or a hundred times faster.


    This was the ultimate theoretical level of the Wings of Wind and Lightning ¨C the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash.

 689 Setting Sail 2

    The Lightning Wings Spatial Flash started to form in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    Of course, right now, he was only cultivating the most basic foundation ¨C the Lightning Wings Wind Flash. The Lightning Wings Wind Flash condensed the essence of the Wind Lightning Inheritance into the form of the Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    Using the Lightning Wings Wind Flash, Zhao Feng was confident that his speed could surpass many Void God Realm Kings.


    Time flew by quickly, and Zhao Feng spent the last two days comprehending the Wings of Wind and Lightning and grinding down the Intent of the Eye of Death.


    Two days later, Zhao Feng let out a breath. He put the little thieving cat and the child Demigod away, then went to Emperor Duanmu¡¯s place.


    The child Demigod¡¯s progress was shocking; he had reached the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm despite Zhao Feng limiting his resources.


    In front of the palace:


    ¡°Good, everyone¡¯s here,¡± Duanmu Qing nodded his head faintly. Next to him were Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.


    The three had finished everything they needed to do and were now waiting for the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array to open.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± with a thought, Emperor Duanmu¡¯s powers covered Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.


    Shua!


    The next instant, the three had disappeared from the main Spiritual Peak.


    ¡°What speed!¡± Zhao Feng was stunned. In just one step, Duanmu Qing had taken the two of them and disappeared from the territory of the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    Zhao Feng felt as if space had changed. Emperors far surpassed normal Kings in terms of their understanding of Space, and their souls were at the peak.


    A breath or two later, Duanmu Qing and the other two had landed on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak. The Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak was a neutral place, and there were many inheritances here.


    ¡°Why are these inheritances¡­?¡± Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    Duanmu Qing¡¯s eyes scanned over the place and explained, ¡°Some expert ancestors of some two-star sects came to the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak to leave their inheritances behind for their juniors before they died.¡±


    Zhao Feng understood. He had faintly heard about this when he entered the Sacred Land.


    ¡°Of course, these inheritances are much worse than the Demigod Forgotten Garden,¡± Duanmu Qing said.


    Across the entire Sacred land, there weren¡¯t more than three inheritances of the same rank as the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    They didn¡¯t bother with these two-star sect inheritances. Emperor Duanmu led the way and walked to an array stand with eight old green stone poles.


    These eight green stone poles were each several hundred meters tall and were covered with ancient array carvings. It seemed as if space itself was undulating, and Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye became lost when he inspected them. It was obvious that these stone poles regarded the laws of Space.


    ¡°Emperor Duanmu,¡± a voice sounded from the array.


    Zhao Feng looked closely and was surprised; there was a Void God Realm King at the top of every pole. Apart from that, there was also an elder at the very center of the array ¨C a Void God Realm Emperor. A total of one Emperor and eight Kings guarded the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array.


    ¡°Thank you all,¡± Duanmu Qing smiled. His voice was as gentle as a breeze.


    The elder Emperor nodded his head, and Duanmu Qing took out thirty-two peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones, which he placed within the eight stone poles.


    ¡°The Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array is to prevent being overrun by other forces. There¡¯s also a God Primal Crystal Stone in the middle of the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array,¡± Duanmu Qing told Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei some secrets.


    There were three Spiritual Zone Sacred Lands in the Cang Ocean: the True Martial Sacred Land, the Floating Dream Sacred Land, and the Ten Thousand Woods Sacred Land. These three Sacred Lands were connected by the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Arrays.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s destination was roughly in the same direction as Duanmu Qing¡¯s and Zhao Yufei¡¯s.


    ¡°We¡¯ll be parting ways after reaching the Floating Dream Spiritual Zone.¡±


    Duanmu Qing and company stood at the center of the array.


    Weng~~


    The eight ancient green stone poles released a brilliant glow of silver-white light, which covered the array stand. Duanmu Qing¡¯s, Zhao Feng¡¯s, and Zhao Yufei¡¯s bodies started to fade and disappear.


    ¡°They¡¯ve left,¡± a King on top of one stone pole suddenly took out a token and sent a message. The next instant, a surge of Death Intent radiated across the entire True Martial Sacred Land and made some Kings and Emperors tremble uneasily.


    ¡°What a strong aura of Death!¡± some Void God Realm Kings felt their hearts go cold.


    A couple breaths later, a tall figure wearing a dark golden crown appeared in the air above the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak. The crown radiated an ancient, dim aura. His pair of eyes were completely black like an abyss.


    ¡°Emperor of Death!¡± some old Emperors within the Sacred Land exclaimed.


    ¡°When did the Emperor of Death come to the True Martial Sacred Land?¡±


    ¡°He concealed himself very deeply.¡±


    Chaos broke out amongst the Sacred Land. The Emperor of Death was the nightmare of many in the Cang Ocean.


    ¡°Master,¡± the warm Wen Luoan bowed and stood next to the Emperor of Death. The white-eyed girl, three Death Spirit Lords, and twenty or thirty Death Guards were also present. This force was enough to wipe out some two-star sects of the outside world.


    ¡°I¡¯ve hidden in the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan for over a month. That Emperor Duanmu has indeed gone toward the Floating Dream Spiritual Zone,¡± the Emperor of Death murmured.


    His voice seemed to have the ability to sound within the soul, and the Divine Senses that scanned over felt cold and their souls started to feel uneasy. The Emperor of Death specialized in the Dao of Soul Death, and even Divine Sense could be injured just by coming into contact with him.


    A while later, the Emperor of Death arrived at the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array.


    ¡°Emperor of Death¡­.¡± the old Emperor and eight Kings felt as if they couldn¡¯t control their lives. Each of the eight Kings felt a crushing aura, and they didn¡¯t dare to even look directly at the Emperor of Death. Only the old Emperor revealed a wary look as he glanced deeply at the Emperor of Death, but he didn¡¯t say anything.


    ¡°Senior Martial Brother, where are we going this time?¡± the white-eyed little girl asked somewhat stupidly with a laugh.


    ¡°You¡¯ll know very soon,¡± Wen Luoan took thirty-two peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones from the Emperor of Death, which he then placed into the eight stone poles.


    The aura of Death and the Emperor of Death soon faded away as the array started.


    Elsewhere in the limitless ocean, in a place comparable to the True Martial Sacred Land but very far from it.


    Floating Dream Sacred Land, Zhao Feng stood on a similar array stand and looked around.


    This Sacred Land had dreamy multi-colored clouds floating around, and it was at least a hundred miles wide. Eight of the colored clouds seemed to be corporeal, and they had two-star sects on them.


    ¡°The Floating Dream Sacred Land only has a single three-star superpower and dozens of two-star sects, but the Heaven Dream Sacred Clan¡¯s strength is actually somewhat greater than the Mystic True Sacred Clan and Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan combined,¡± Duanmu Qing sighed as he took out a token after arriving. He was an honorary Elder of a two-star sect in the Floating Dream Sacred Land.


    Duanmu Qing and Zhao Yufei still needed to use the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array again after arriving in the Floating Dream Sacred Land to go to the nearby continent zone. This meant that Duanmu Qing and Zhao Yufei would leave the Cang Ocean and arrive at the Southern Ocean.


    ¡°Brother Zhao Feng, we¡¯ll part ways here. Maybe the next time we meet, we¡¯ll have different identities, different statuses, and maybe even different paths,¡± Zhao Yufei bit her lips and squeezed out a smile.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei stood at two different Spiritual Zone Teleportation Arrays. Before Zhao Feng could say anything, Zhao Yufei had already turned around, and tears had started to form in her slightly red eyes.


    ¡°Different paths? Yufei¡­¡± Zhao Feng murmured, and his usually-calm heart suddenly felt a piercing pain that he had never felt before. It was similar to the experience he felt from the mermaid tears. It was as if he had also fallen into the beautiful and sad emotions of the mermaids.


    Zhao Yufei seemed extremely weak and lonely in his eyes. Zhao Feng looked at the familiar figure and suddenly felt the urge to charge over and grab her tightly.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and urgently threw out several bronze coins.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically, and he quickly took out several Primal Crystal Stones.


    Before he left, Zhao Feng exchanged large amounts of resources for some peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat quickly placed eight peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones into the array.


    Weng~~


    The array stand Zhao Feng stood on started to glow.


    ¡°Yufei, we shall meet again,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s decisive voice sounded in the soul-dimension.


    Zhao Yufei¡¯s figure trembled, but she didn¡¯t turn around.


    ¡°Yufei, splitting now means meeting again in the future. The Lord Dynasty is your true stage. With Zhao Feng¡¯s potential, he¡¯ll arrive at the continent zone sooner or later,¡± the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s voice sounded, and Duanmu Qing and Zhao Yufei soon disappeared as well.


    Several breaths later, a bright light appeared on the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array stand. Immediately following that, an aura of Death surged into the area.


    The expressions of the experts guarding the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array changed dramatically as the Emperor of Death and company appeared. The place became dead-quiet.


    ¡°They¡¯ve gone?¡± the Emperor of Death murmured as his Eyes of Death locked on to the King opposite him.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± the Void God Realm King felt as if his soul had been restricted, and he couldn¡¯t even resist.


    ¡°Where did that purple-haired male go?¡± Wen Luoan asked.


    ¡°He¡­ he went to the Sky Flower Zone,¡± the Void God Realm uttered as he looked uneasily and fearfully at the Emperor of Death.


    Everyone knew the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Follow him,¡± the Emperor of Death and company instantly used the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array and disappeared in a flash of light.


    ¡°The Emperor of Death!¡±


    ¡°That terrifying guy came to the Floating Dream Sacred Land? Who knows what kind of bloody storm he¡¯ll bring.¡±


    The Kings felt relieved.


    The Emperor of Death and company soon appeared in the Sky Heaven Void Ocean Palace.


    Shua!


    The aura of Death instantly enveloped the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. In that instant, everyone in the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace felt their bodies freeze as if they were rocks.


    ¡°What power! Master used his power of Death to freeze the entire Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.¡±

 690 The Child Demigod’s Suggestion

    In the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace of the Sky Flower Island Zone, the large hall was dead-silent, and the bodies of countless experts froze.


    The shadow of Death enveloped all the beings present.


    The Palace Lord of the Sky Flower Void Ocean Spiritual Palace was a Void God Realm King, and his soul trembled uneasily.


    ¡°Emperor of Death!¡± the Sky Flower Palace Lord held his breath and ordered the Regulators to not do anything. It seemed as if the Emperor of Death was looking for someone.


    At the same time, the Divine Senses of the three Death Spirit Lords also scanned around. One of them even used a Soul-Searching Technique to search the Regulators near the Teleportation Array.


    ¡°He¡¯s very fast,¡± the Emperor of Death murmured. His intent of Death had filled the entire Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, but he didn¡¯t find any sign of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Reporting to the Emperor, Zhao Feng seems to have instantly used the Wings of Wind and Lightning after arriving here, and he has now entered the limitless ocean,¡± the Death Spirit Lord said respectfully. He found traces of Zhao Feng through the Soul-Searching Technique.


    The Emperor of Death closed his eyes, and his Divine Sense started to extend.


    A thousand miles¡­ two thousand miles¡­ three thousand miles¡­.


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s senses were limitless and could travel very far. A couple breaths later, the Emperor of Death¡¯s Divine Sense had reached a span of ten thousand miles, and he finally caught signs of a faint aura of Wind Lightning in the air that was fading away.


    ¡°We can¡¯t even sense Zhao Feng at all,¡± Wen Luoan and the Death Guards gripped their Tokens of Death, but they didn¡¯t feel anything. It was as if their target had evaporated into thin air.


    The Emperor of Death stood motionless, and he seemed like the shadow of the God of Death.


    His Divine Sense had surpassed ten thousand miles as it chased after the direction of the Wind


    Lightning aura.


    His eyebrows suddenly furrowed. The faint aura of Wind Lightning suddenly split into more than a dozen sources that headed in different directions.


    The distance between the two became further and further away. Although the Emperor of Death¡¯s Divine Sense could reach that far, it wasn¡¯t very accurate, and the limitless ocean was constantly scrubbing all auras.


    ¡°Cunning brat,¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s pitch-black eyes were ice-cold.


    ¡°Master, what do we do now?¡± Wen Luoan asked.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s reaction was too fast, and his Wings of Wind and Lightning greatly surpassed the speed of normal Kings.


    ¡°Go in these directions,¡± the Emperor of Death reached out and created a map made of light from his hand. The map contained the image of the Floating Dream Sacred Land, and it could locate the places nearby.


    According to the direction the aura of Wind Lightning was travelling, the Emperor of Death could generally guess some of the possible destinations Zhao Feng was heading toward.


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s forces split into five. One team was the Emperor of Death and the white-eyed little girl. The other four teams consisted of some Death Guards led by Wen Luoan and the three Death Spirit Lords respectively.


    The five groups headed off in the general direction of Zhao Feng.


    Shua! Shua!


    The Emperor of Death and his subordinates soon disappeared from the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    Hu~~


    The Sky Flower Palace Lord and everyone else all let out a long breath.


    In a certain part of the Sky Flower Islands Zone:


    ¡°Lightning Wings Wind Flash!¡±


    A faint red figure covered in lightning flashed across the limitless ocean. No one below the half-step Void God Realm could even see the outline of the figure.


    ¡°What speed!¡± the occasional experts travelling on a boat were stunned. This figure displayed speed several times faster than normal Kings.


    The Lightning Wings Wind Flash was a secret technique of the Wings of Wind and Lightning, and it pushed the Intent of Wind Lightning to the maximum.


    Pa!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s wings quickly fluttered as his body became an arc of lightning, surpassing the speed of normal Void God Realms.


    However, using the Lightning Wings Wind Flash also used a lot of energy.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s body gently shook and turned into ten figures of lightning. Each of them had a wisp of King Intent, and their auras were exactly the same as Zhao Feng.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    These figures flew in different directions and, although they were slightly slower, it was hard to distinguish which one was the real one.


    Zhao Feng would release several Wind Lightning Figures every ten thousand miles or so. Each of them could last about an hour or so because they had some of Zhao Feng¡¯s King Intent.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng restricted his Soul Sea to a certain degree.


    The Eye of Death¡¯s Intent was frozen by his Ice Soul power and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. It was because of this that the Emperor of Death and his subordinates couldn¡¯t lock on to Zhao Feng.


    As long as I don¡¯t use any Soul-type techniques or my eye-bloodline, the Emperor of Death and his subordinates won¡¯t be able to sense me easily, Zhao Feng thought.


    Eventually, he even stopped using his King Intent and Divine Sense.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat grabbed onto his shoulder and would occasionally point toward a certain direction as its eyes spun.


    It was because of the little thieving cat¡¯s divination skills that Zhao Feng was able to react so quickly and escape from the Emperor of Death¡¯s pursuit.


    Lightning Wings Wind Flash!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning fluttered, and he flew for a long time until the majority of his True Yuan was expended. There were signs of exhaustion on his face.


    He started to pretend to be a Lightning Wind Figure as he slowly concealed his aura and removed the Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    Plop!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure dove into the limitless ocean. Very soon after:


    Gulu~~~


    A dark silver ship shrouded in a ghostly air appeared within the limitless ocean.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, you control the ship. Let the little thieving cat decide the route,¡± Zhao Feng said and went to the captain¡¯s cabin and sat down.


    The skeletal Division Leader now controlled the ship, and the sailors were ghost-corpses that had a certain amount of intelligence.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± the skeletal Division Leader replied.


    In the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng ate some Spiritual Pills and other treasures in order to recover his True Yuan faster. While doing that, he also began to look at the map of the Floating Dream Sacred Land and its territories.


    Zhao Feng was more than a dozen island zones away from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace¡¯s location.


    ¡°The Emperor of Death doesn¡¯t know my destination,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    To stop revealing himself, he decided not to go to any Void Ocean Spiritual Palace since he wasn¡¯t in need of anything.


    With the improvements from the Sacred Land, the Sea Sky Ship¡¯s fastest speed was comparable to the half-step Void God Realm. Zhao Feng¡¯s ship would be able to reach the Sky Sacred Qin Palace within a year.


    ¡°If I restrain my Soul Sea, how will the Emperor of Death be able to sense me, let alone chase after me?¡± Zhao Feng laughed coldly in his heart, and his eye and hair color both returned to black.


    ¡°Master, if I merge with the Demigod¡¯s Intent, my overall strength will rise to a new level. I would be able to help you,¡± the child Demigod exited the ring with a solemn expression, but his voice was extremely babyish.


    ¡°Not right now,¡± Zhao Feng shook his head.


    Currently, the child Demigod¡¯s strength was at least comparable to a half-step King. If he merged with the Demigod Intent, his strength would rise dramatically.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t dumb. He purposely wanted to restrict the child Demigod¡¯s growth. He had an instinct that, if he let the child Demigod mature as he wanted, he might become even more dangerous than the Emperor of Death. After all, the child Demigod was a Demigod in the process of reviving ¨C his growth couldn¡¯t be described as ¡°cultivation,¡± but ¡°recovery.¡± Once he had the Demigod Intent and an endless supply of resources, the child Demigod would be able to recover to the rank of an Emperor within a couple years.


    Ten thousand miles away, in the misty limitless ocean:


    ¡°It¡¯s disappeared again,¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s eyebrows furrowed as he glanced toward the aura of Wind Lightning that had faded away.


    Not only was Zhao Feng¡¯s speed fast, he would continuously send doppelgangers out in all directions that had the exact same aura as the true body. It was extremely hard to chase him just from his aura alone.


    ¡°Bai Lin,¡± the Emperor of Death turned toward the white-eyed little girl next to him.


    The white-eyed little girl had the Eye of Destiny and, although it hadn¡¯t truly awakened, it could still catch traces of destiny. She was better than most experts cultivating in the Dao of Life. This was also why the Emperor of Death chose to take her.


    The white-eyed little girl bit her fingers, then took out a pen and a piece of paper with locked eyebrows. A long time later, the white-eyed little girl managed to draw a blurry instrument with a pale face.


    ¡°Qin?¡± the Emperor of Death recognized an ancient qin from the drawing, and the white-eyed little girl instantly fell asleep after drawing the picture.


    The difficulty this time far exceeded the past. The stronger the person she tried to divine the fate of, the more difficult it was.


    ¡°Qin¡­¡± the Emperor of Death murmured before starting to think.


    This instrument was the only clue, but the clue wasn¡¯t enough. What did this qin represent? A person? The instrument itself? Or something else entirely?


    Using this trail, the Emperor of Death continuously searched, and he ordered people to find all information about qins.


    In the dark misty ocean, a small ship radiating an air of Death and Yin quickly travelled through the water. The air of Death and Yin radiating from it prevented the senses of anyone below the half-step Void God Realm from looking into it.


    ¡°Pirate ship? A ghost ship of the Wicked Path?¡± the nearby ships and experts would run away from it since its aura was too terrifying. Even the ships of some powerful forces didn¡¯t dare to offend this pirate ship.


    Several days passed by, and the ghost ship was still safe.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s energy had recovered long ago, and he had occasionally gone into the Ancient Dream Realm to get resources for the ghost-corpses. The flesh and blood of the Ancient Dream Realm beasts were extremely beneficial for the cursed ghost-corpses.


    One day, the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s voice was full of excitement, ¡°Master, all of the cursed ghost-corpses have become Sovereigns.¡±


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression.


    The cursed ghost-corpses were each several meters tall and gave off an ancient aura of a decaying corpse, and the power of the curse was ten times stronger than before.


    ¡°They¡¯re stronger than I imagined,¡± Zhao Feng was stunned. Although these Sovereign cursed ghost-corpses had only just broken through not long ago, they were already almost unparalleled against anyone below the Sovereign Lord rank. Even Sovereign Lords would feel troubled if the curse touched them.


    On top of that, there was a hundred of them, and the array they formed was extremely powerful. It wasn¡¯t as simple as adding them together one by one.


    The bodies of these ghost-corpses are extremely strong, and they contain the aura of that meat from before¡­. a light flashed across the child Demigod¡¯s eyes as he stared at the ghost-corpses.


    He was already suspicious of whether Zhao Feng had more of that meat from before or not. The amount of flesh and meat the ghost-corpses had absorbed to reach this level was stunning. The child Demigod precisely needed that meat in order to recover his strength and his complete bloodline.


    ¡°Let¡¯s make a deal,¡± the child Demigod¡¯s eyes glimmered solemnly with light as he spoke to Zhao Feng in a babyish voice.

 691 Testing Out the Sky Locking Bow

    ¡°A deal?¡± Zhao Feng squinted his eyes as he looked at the child Demigod whose voice was still babyish. His voice was like a three-year-old¡¯s, but his expression was serious.


    No one would dare to underestimate a Demigod who had revived.


    ¡°Hehe,¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°you seem to have forgotten our relationship.¡±


    There was no such thing as equality between a slave and a master. A deal was usually between two parties who were on the same level.


    Mockery as well as curiosity appeared in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes. It didn¡¯t know much about this child because the Demigod intent had suppressed it, and it couldn¡¯t leave the pearl.


    Of course, that didn¡¯t mean that the skeletal Division Leader underestimated him. This ¡°child¡± who looked only two or three years old had the cultivation of a late-stage Great Origin Core Realm and could easily defeat itself. No matter how dumb the skeletal Division Leader might¡¯ve been, it wouldn¡¯t treat him as a child.


    ¡°I am a Demigod, so I have the right to make a deal. Besides, you won¡¯t be able to resist my offer,¡± the child Demigod said proudly. Even though he was a slave whose life was in someone else¡¯s control, he still had his dignity.


    ¡°Demigod!¡± the skeletal Division Leader was shocked and speechless as it stared at the golden-skinned child in front of it.


    Zhao Feng had revived a Demigod? And made him his slave? This¡­ was just too crazy! Compared to a Demigod, the Scarlet Moon Patriarch that it had once admired and even the Emperor of Death were nothing.


    ¡°That¡¯s if the deal is actually irresistible,¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t reject the suggestion. He knew that, as the child Demigod¡¯s strength recovered, more of his memories would awaken.


    ¡°Firstly, I have a method that can increase the chances of Master absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning,¡± the child Demigod faintly said.


    God Tribulation Lightning! a light flashed through Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    The God Tribulation Lightning was the supreme lightning that could counter everything in the world. If he could comprehend or absorb even just a wisp of it, it would increase his strength dramatically. On top of that, comprehending the God Tribulation Lightning would increase his chances of success when facing his own God Tribulation.


    ¡°I have a Lightning Absorption Divine Technique in the depths of my memories. Although incomplete, it¡¯s a skill that surpasses the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique and the Lightning Summoning Sword Technique. In my previous life, I comprehended this skill in order to strengthen my resilience against lightning,¡± the child Demigod explained.


    Lightning Absorption Divine Technique! Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved. He had inherited the Wind Lightning Inheritance, so he had heard of the legendary Lightning Absorption Divine Technique before. Apparently, this technique was created specifically to fight against the God Tribulation.


    No wonder the Demigod was able to have a complete corpse and even absorb some of the lightning.


    Zhao Feng believed the majority of what the child Demigod said. He had the Wind Lightning Inheritance and the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique, so he could be considered an expert in Lightning. It would be hard to trick him in regard to the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique.


    ¡°The second point is that God Tribulation Lightning is extremely difficult to merge into True Yuan. The best way is to let the body, flesh, and blood absorb it. That was the mistake that I made in the past,¡± the child Demigod smiled.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng instantly felt as if a cork had been removed from a bottle.


    No wonder he faced so much resistance when he tried to absorb it ¨C the God Tribulation Lightning was a power that ruled supreme over countless powers. How could this kind of power merge together with some other lightning or True Yuan?


    The child Demigod enlightened Zhao Feng.


    The best way is to let my body absorb it. My dantian already has the power of Wind Lightning, which can¡¯t coexist with the God Tribulation Lightning, Zhao Feng comprehended.


    ¡°It is hard for normal bodies to withstand the God Tribulation Lightning, which means that one needs a body-strengthening divine technique,¡± the child Demigod said proudly.


    Body-strengthening divine technique. Zhao Feng now understood everything, and he looked deeply at the child Demigod. The child Demigod specialized in body-strengthening in his previous life, so he obviously had powerful body-strengthening techniques.


    ¡°What do you want?¡± Zhao Feng decided to make a deal with the child Demigod. Both the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique and the body-strengthening divine technique were in the child Demigod¡¯s hand, and without them, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to absorb the God Tribulation Lightning even if he had the head.


    ¡°I want more of that meat from before, and a lot of it,¡± the child Demigod spoke as he glanced toward the cursed ghost-corpses. The cursed ghost-corpses had obviously absorbed the flesh and blood from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    ¡°How much do you need?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Five tons, no negotiation,¡± the child Demigod said.


    Five tons? Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows locked together. To gather five tons, he would need to kill some of the bigger animals.


    ¡°The value of what I¡¯m giving you is definitely worth that much,¡± the child Demigod held an aggressive stance. He knew that Zhao Feng definitely had a large amount of this meat. The cursed ghost-corpses were an obvious indicator. Zhao Feng had definitely given the cursed ghost-corpses at least five hundred kilograms in total, so five thousand shouldn¡¯t be too much.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head in agreement, ¡°but you need to prove that what you¡¯re giving me is real.¡±


    Although five tons was a lot, that would only increase the child Demigod¡¯s strength until he became a King. As more of the meat was eaten, the effect would decrease. This was the basic theory behind the Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    ¡°I use the name of the God Tribulation to promise that I won¡¯t pull any tricks on the items, and to confirm that they are real,¡± the child Demigod said solemnly.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction. The child Demigod had died to the God Tribulation in his previous life, and its power had left behind a nightmare in his heart. At the same time, the God Tribulation was related to the laws of Heaven and Earth. The child Demigod wouldn¡¯t joke around with such a thing.


    From that, one could see that the child Demigod was indeed serious about making this deal. It seemed like he had plenty of other things to rely on that would allow him to remain unafraid of Zhao Feng.


    ¡°To prove my sincerity, I¡¯ll give the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique to you right now,¡± the child Demigod said.


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised. Was the child Demigod always this ¡°sincere?¡±


    He didn¡¯t say anything and simply accepted the information the child Demigod sent him. An incomplete divine technique soon appeared in his mind.


    The Lightning Absorption Divine Technique: created by an expert of ancient times in order to face the God Tribulation. A technique made to absorb the power of Lightning.


    The technique didn¡¯t have a lot written since it was incomplete. It wasn¡¯t like the Wind Lightning Inheritance or the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique that had a large outline and direction. Simply put, it was just a skill that required a high level of comprehension and soul-strength.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and tried to comprehend it, and he found that, although there wasn¡¯t much content, it was rather difficult to comprehend. Luckily, he had the foundation of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, which allowed him to at least comprehend a bit of it.


    ¡°Give me a few days and I¡¯ll give you half a ton of meat,¡± Zhao Feng opened his eyes and said.


    Joy flashed through the child Demigod¡¯s eyes.


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng seemed to be cultivating while sitting down, but in reality, his consciousness was staying in the Soul Sea.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Soul Sea was currently restrained, so he couldn¡¯t easily use the power of his soul, but that didn¡¯t stop him from comprehending within it.


    Shua!


    With a thought, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm once again.


    Near the stream, Zhao Feng started to hunt the animals with no offensive capabilities, such as cows and sheep.


    To increase his efficiency, Zhao Feng took out the Sky Locking Bow.


    The Sky Locking Bow¡¯s power was greatly restricted in the Ancient Dream Realm, but it could still shoot at a range of a couple hundred meters.


    Zhi!


    Zhao Feng gripped the ancient dark silver bow and started to slowly pull the bowstring while merging his eye-bloodline power into it.


    Weng~~


    Silver light appeared around the ancient bow and started to move as if it was real. At the same time, a cold, slim golden arrow made of light started to condense.


    When a weapon reached the Sky Locking Bow¡¯s level, one didn¡¯t need arrows anymore. Arrows could be formed automatically. When one had enough power, the Sky Locking Bow could theoretically be used infinitely, like a gun with unlimited ammunition.


    Whoosh!


    Gold and silver light intertwined on the Sky Locking Bow and pierced through the air.


    Bam!


    The golden arrow flashed and reappeared dozens of meters away through the throat of a deer that was drinking water.


    ¡°What power!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth was wide open; he was stunned.


    This was the first time using this trump card.


    The bodies of every being in the Ancient Dream Realm were extremely strong, and even Zhao Feng would need to spend some time and effort to kill a mere deer or sheep, whereas the Sky Locking Bow had done it in one shot.


    ¡°That¡¯s good. I can do anything I want in the Ancient Dream Realm and test out my archery skills.¡±


    Zhao Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart as he quickly put away the deer¡¯s body and removed its aura in order to not raise attention of other animals.


    For the next two days, Zhao Feng used the Sky Locking Bow to hunt some bigger animals, but the Sky Locking Bow used a lot of True Yuan. Zhao Feng could only use it four or five times a day, but it would kill the target in one shot every time.


    The targets locked on to by the Sky Locking Bow didn¡¯t have the chance to dodge at all. This bow had a unique ability that locked on to the soul and couldn¡¯t be dodged, which made it true to its name ¨C the Sky Locking Bow.


    Four days later, Zhao Feng called the child Demigod.


    ¡°This is half a ton of meat,¡± Zhao Feng took out an interspatial bag and handed it over to the child Demigod.


    The child Demigod revealed a joyful look as he peered into it.


    ¡°Master, this is my supreme body-strengthening technique of my previous life¡­ the Golden Kun Sacred Body. This technique is one of the best body-strengthening techniques even among continent zones,¡± the child Demigod took out a unique golden-colored blood-pearl and handed it to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng took the golden-colored blood-pearl with puzzlement and guessed that this kind of inheritance was probably limited to bloodlines.


    However, it still surprised Zhao Feng that he was able to get this body-strengthening technique so easily.


    Mockery appeared in the child Demigod¡¯s eyes. The Golden Kun Sacred Body he had given Zhao Feng was indeed real, but he wasn¡¯t worried at all that Zhao Feng had it.

 692 A Crazy Though

    Like that, the first deal between Zhao Feng and the child Demigod was complete.


    This was far too simple for Zhao Feng. He didn¡¯t even pay much of a price and he already obtained the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Body.


    The Golden Kun Sacred Body was the Demigod¡¯s strongest body-strengthening technique.


    ¡°Master, I need to remind you that the God Tribulation is the world¡¯s most terrifying source of power, and it¡¯s extremely hard to absorb. You need to cultivate the Golden Kun Sacred Body to at least the sixth level to be able to use the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique and absorb the God Tribulation Lightning,¡± the child Demigod said.


    Sixth level? Before Zhao Feng could even react, the child Demigod went inside the ancient metal ring and didn¡¯t come out.


    In a certain corner of the ancient metal ring:


    Zhe zhe, if one cultivates the Golden Kun Sacred Body to the sixth level, they¡¯d be comparable to a Sacred Lord, the child Demigod was smug.


    Any technique or inheritance that reached the level of an Emperor or Sacred Lord required unimaginable effort and time to cultivate, and body-strengthening techniques were ten times harder to train than normal techniques. Furthermore, normal people couldn¡¯t even cultivate the Golden Kun Sacred Body.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng sat down, and a source of True Yuan covered the golden-colored blood-pearl, which soon merged into Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    The Golden Kun Sacred Body was a technique that was passed down through bloodlines, and the information was imprinted into one¡¯s very blood and bones.


    A large amount of information soon merged into Zhao Feng¡¯s flesh and blood. What was even more unique was that this technique needed to be comprehended by the body, meaning that one¡¯s soul talent wasn¡¯t helpful.


    ¡°Golden Kun Sacred Body: a total of seven levels, and one can reach the level of a Demigod¡¯s body and become unparalleled against anyone that isn¡¯t a God. To cultivate this, one needs a peak body-strengthening bloodline and talent¡­¡± Zhao Feng received some information, and his face started to become grim after reading it.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been tricked,¡± Zhao Feng gritted his teeth with a dark expression.


    The Golden Kun Sacred Body was indeed a body-strengthening divine technique and worth the asking price, but the requirements were too strict, and progress was slow even if you could meet those requirements. It required a peak body-strengthening bloodline just to ¡°smoothly¡± cultivate it, which was precisely what Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any talent for. His talent and bloodline were completely Soul-based.


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s first thought was to pull out the Demigod Kun Yun and give him a good beating, but thinking about it, that would be going against his word. After all, the child Demigod had indeed given him the Golden Kun Sacred Body, and it was exactly what he said it was. On top of that, it didn¡¯t say that normal people couldn¡¯t cultivate it, it would just be much harder.


    Purely in terms of the deal they made, the child Demigod didn¡¯t trick Zhao Feng.


    With my talent, I won¡¯t be able to reach the sixth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Body even if I had a thousand years, Zhao Feng thought for a while and shook his head.


    Putting aside the Golden Kun Sacred Body, even the simpler body-strengthening techniques would take him a long time to cultivate. Therefore, Zhao Feng could only temporarily give up on the Golden Kun Sacred Body.


    He started to inspect the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique. Zhao Feng could indeed cultivate the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique. After all, his soul-strength and comprehension level were enough.


    This made him feel slightly better. It was obvious that the child Demigod had great awareness; if both techniques were unlearnable, then Zhao Feng would probably cause trouble. The child Demigod was extremely smart; one of the techniques could be cultivated easily enough, and while the other one would take forever, it could also be cultivated.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t lose his calm. If he acted too angry, that would only make the child Demigod laugh.


    ¡°If body-strengthening won¡¯t work, then I¡¯ll see if I can just change the thought process behind it¡­¡± Zhao Feng started to think.


    He cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and could split his thoughts into several hundred, giving him super powerful calculating abilities.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng ignored the idea of relying on the sixth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Body. He knew that there was definitely a way of containing the God Tribulation Lightning even without reaching the sixth level, such as utilizing the Ancient Dream Realm aura. According to Zhao Feng¡¯s analysis, he could probably contain the God Tribulation Lightning just with the fourth or fifth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Body.


    ¡°How unfortunate. If I restart my cultivation and use the Ancient Dream Realm aura in conjunction with the Golden Kun Sacred Body, I¡¯d be able to easily absorb the God Tribulation Lightning and use it to refine a sacred body¡­.¡± Zhao Feng was slightly regretful.


    If he used that method and succeeded, he would be able to obtain a Lightning Tribulation Sacred Body. However, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have the time to restart his cultivation. The Emperor of Death was chasing after him, and he needed to become stronger quickly.


    A while later:


    ¡°Hmm? That¡¯s it!¡± Zhao Feng found a spark of hope within the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique, which contained information regarding the God Tribulation Lightning.


    The God Tribulation Lightning wasn¡¯t just a power that acted against the physical dimension, it could also destroy a cultivator¡¯s soul. If one¡¯s soul wasn¡¯t strong enough, they would fail even if their bodies were perfect.


    The Demigod Kun Yun most likely failed because of that. After all, in terms of body-strength, the Demigod Kun Yun was almost unparalleled.


    ¡°Soul¡­ isn¡¯t that where my talent lies?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s thought process opened.


    Indeed. He might not have a body-strengthening bloodline, but his soul-talent was legendary. To this day, Zhao Feng had never seen anyone whose soul-talent was better than his own.


    If my physical body isn¡¯t able to store the God Tribulation Lightning, then¡­ how about my soul? an insane thought appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s head.


    Even the Demigod Kun Yun wouldn¡¯t dare to have such thoughts. Messing with the soul was extremely dangerous.


    ¡°The God Tribulation Lightning isn¡¯t just a pure physical attack. If the body can store it, why can¡¯t the soul?¡± as he continued thinking about it, Zhao Feng felt that it was more and more likely that this was true.


    However, even the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique didn¡¯t mention anything about absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning with a soul. This meant that Zhao Feng would need to copy the theory of storing it in the body and transform it to make it more suitable for the soul.


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye specialized in copying.


    In the Soul Sea, Zhao Feng split his thoughts and comprehended the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique.


    A couple days later:


    ¡°My idea¡­ is doable.¡±


    Zhao Feng became filled with excitement. If one was able to store God Tribulation Lightning in their soul and use it with their eye-bloodline, they could hit their opponent¡¯s soul with some God Tribulation Lightning.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. Even an Emperor¡¯s soul might not be able to withstand my attacks if they¡¯re filled with God Tribulation Lightning,¡± Zhao Feng almost roared out in laughter when he thought up to here.


    His idea was just too crazy, but if it succeeded, it would turn the lives of others upside down. Furthermore, if Zhao Feng¡¯s Soul Sea could store God Tribulation Lightning, he might be able to use that as a transition into refining it with his body later on. At that time, Zhao Feng would still have the chance to cultivate the Golden Kun Sacred Body and form the Lightning Tribulation Sacred Body.


    ¡°Perfect! It¡¯s perfect!¡±


    Zhao Feng had the urge to scream. Of course, he definitely couldn¡¯t allow the child Demigod to know about this. Zhao Feng still needed to pretend he was extremely angry.


    In a corner of the ancient metal ring:


    ¡°Hehe, this Zhao Feng has a mountain of treasure but can¡¯t use it. All he can do is look at it,¡± the child Demigod was extremely smug as he put some Ancient Dream Realm meat into his mouth.


    Not only could the meat increase the recovery of his bloodline, it could also strengthen his state of existence, potential, and Golden Kun Sacred Body.


    Because he was revived from a drop of blood, he only needed a ton of resources to ¡°recover.¡± He wasn¡¯t actually ¡°cultivating.¡± This was why the child Demigod wanted the meat from the Ancient Dream Realm so badly.


    ¡°Hmph! Wait till I digest all this meat. At that time, my physical body¡¯s battle-power will be comparable to a King, and I¡¯ll be unparalleled after I merge with the Demigod Intent. I might even be able to fight normal Emperors,¡± the child Demigod was overjoyed, but he didn¡¯t notice a pair of cat eyes in another corner that were filled with mockery.


    Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.


    Zhao Feng used his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and focused on the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique, trying to figure out how the soul could store the lightning.


    One day, Zhao Feng opened his eyes and a faint smile appeared on his face.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, submerge the ship and then set up the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array,¡± Zhao Feng ordered.


    ¡°Understood,¡± the skeletal Division Leader ordered the ghost ship to sink into the ocean.


    The limitless ocean was a natural sensory-blocker.


    His actions raised the attention of the child Demigod.


    What is this Zhao Feng thinking? the child Demigod secretly paid attention. He guessed that Zhao Feng did this in order to weaken the senses between the Intent of Death so he could use a Soul technique.


    The ghost ship soon sank down to the very depths of the ocean.


    Hu~~


    A thick layer of dark gray smoke seemed to cover the ¡°sky¡± for nearly ten miles, and it only continued to condense. The power of the curse shocked every beast within several thousand miles, and countless animals felt their hearts go cold as they started to trembled.


    ¡°The power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array can now threaten Kings. No one below the Void God Realm will be able to survive,¡± the skeletal Division Leader was extremely confident.


    The reason why Zhao Feng used the array was to weaken the Intent of Death even more.


    Hu!


    His purple hair started to float in the water, and a dreamy, misty world appeared in his left eye. After that, Zhao Feng waved his hand, and a charred head floated in the water in front of him.


    A forbidden aura was instantly released, which caused the hundred ghost-corpses nearby to tremble uneasily. The power of the curse almost shattered.


    ¡°Come!¡± the gaze of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye landed onto the head.


    Shua!


    The God Tribulation head disappeared, and a head appeared in the black dimension of his left eye. The very center of this dark dimension was Zhao Feng¡¯s Soul Sea.


    What was weird was that, when the head entered this place, its terrifying aura was compressed and almost unable to be sensed at all, as if it had been suppressed.

 693 Absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning!

    Success!


    Zhao Feng glanced at the floating head in the dimension of his left eye. At the same time, the color of his left eye and hair started to become black again.


    He completed his experiment by using Spatial Movement, but he had undergone a great risk to try out this crazy idea of his. Doing what he did increased the risk of the Pursuit of Death finding him, but it was worth it.


    Once the Pursuit of Death had been declared, it was a situation of, ¡°If it¡¯s not you that dies, it¡¯ll be me.¡± Zhao Feng needed to increase his strength in order to survive and have any chance of counterattacking.


    Fortunately, the ghost ship had spent the majority of a month in the limitless ocean travelling extremely far away from the Sky Flower Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    Zhao Feng had grinded the Intent from the Eye of Death down to a very low level, greatly decreasing the Emperor of Death¡¯s senses. He had also made other preparations such as ordering the ship to go to the depths of the ocean and opening the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Everything was done to lower the risk of the Pursuit of Death finding him. Unless he was extremely unlucky or the Pursuit of Death just happened to be close by, his experiment just now shouldn¡¯t have created any problems.


    ¡°Now that the head is in my Soul Sea, it¡¯s much easier for my soul to absorb the lightning.¡±


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes. The dimension of his left eye was pitch-black apart from the very center ¨C the Soul Sea ¨C which was around a thousand yards wide. The head was floating in the black area nearby, and this place was restricted by Zhao Feng, so no aura would be released, allowing him to do anything he wanted, including using his soul-power.


    With a thought, a surge of Eye Intent covered the head.


    Within the dimension of the left eye, the God Tribulation head¡¯s aura seemed to be suppressed, which was extremely beneficial for Zhao Feng. Otherwise, the aura alone would make the hearts of all existences tremble.


    Shua!


    The head was moved by the Eye Intent closer to the Soul Sea.


    ¡°En,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head. His preparations had gone better than expected, and he could now use his soul-power to interact with the God Tribulation head. Zhao Feng then analyzed the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique.


    The Lightning Absorption Divine Technique was designed to store the lightning into one¡¯s physical body or dantian, but Zhao Feng was going to store it within his soul. He had already completed the outline of his hypothesis, all he needed to do now was prove the theory and perfect it. This meant that Zhao Feng would to think and calculate a lot, but because of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, Zhao Feng¡¯s calculating abilities were quite strong.


    It wasn¡¯t as if he needed to create a secret technique out of nowhere. All he needed to do was copy the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique and transform it to suit the soul.


    Seven days later, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul-based version of the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique was steadily becoming clearer and clearer.


    ¡°Now, all I need to do is perfect it, which just requires practice,¡± Zhao Feng was looking forward to it.


    Zhao Feng needed to test if his soul could really store the lightning.


    ¡°Let¡¯s start.¡±


    Zhao Feng focused on his soul-based version of the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique and started to circulate it.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    His Eye Intent led some wisps of faint purple soul-power and formed a small whirlpool. This whirlpool was extremely calm, like a small suction force that would only occasionally suck things in.


    The purple-colored whirlpool touched the God Tribulation head. Part of it even merged directly into the head. After all, it was made up of soul-power.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness shook. It was as if he had been struck by ten thousand lightning bolts at once, and a numbing sensation travelled throughout his body.


    Bam!


    The power of the Lightning Tribulation shattered the purple whirlpool, and the purple-colored Soul Sea shook.


    ¡°The situation¡¯s better than I expected,¡± Zhao Feng said.


    His soul hadn¡¯t been attacked by the Lightning Tribulation. On the contrary, his soul was able to touch the Lightning Tribulation, although the amount was so small that it could be ignored.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the head seemed to be restricted, so it ¡°behaved¡± really well, otherwise his soul would¡¯ve already been blown to bits by now.


    ¡°My Eye Intent and Soul Sea are strong enough to store it,¡± Zhao Feng relaxed, then created two whirlpools and merged them into the head.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness trembled, and the power of the lightning rushed into his purple-colored Soul Sea. His Soul Sea started to faintly tremble, and Zhao Feng could feel his Soul Sea undergo the cleansing of the God Tribulation Lightning.


    His purple Soul Sea had even absorbed a tiny ¡°particle¡± of the God Tribulation Lightning. Even though it was so small that it had no effect, Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    ¡°My plan can work!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s practice went much more smoothly than he originally thought it would, mainly because the power of the God Tribulation Lightning was restricted by the dimension of his left eye and didn¡¯t fight back.


    Zhao Feng now needed to improve and perfect his new version of the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique in order to increase the rate at which he absorbed these ¡°particles.¡± If he absorbed it at the current rate, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to form a tiny bit of God Tribulation Lightning even if he took half a year.


    For the next half a day, Zhao Feng used his Eye Intent to form more than a dozen small whirlpools that hovered around the head.


    Boom! Boom! Bam~~~~!


    The thunderous booms made Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness dizzy, but he gritted his teeth and continued to maintain the whirlpools.


    With more whirlpools, his efficiency rate was more than a dozen times faster, but they also consumed more than a dozen times more energy. He needed to maintain these whirlpools; if he didn¡¯t pay attention to them, they would be shattered by the lightning.


    ¡°Luckily, I managed to form Eye Intent after the evolution of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt lucky. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that his soul surpassed normal Kings and that the power of the lightning was suppressed in the dimension of his left eye, it wouldn¡¯t be realistic to absorb the God Tribulation Lightning.


    Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.


    Zhao Feng successfully managed to absorb a wisp of God Tribulation Lightning and merge it into his Soul Sea, but it was extremely faint, like a drop of blood dripping into a pond. Zhao Feng could feel its existence, but he was unable to use it.


    However, that didn¡¯t stop him from trying to comprehend the power of the God Tribulation Lightning.


    ¡°I can comprehend this wisp of God Tribulation Lightning anytime I want, and it¡¯s more than a hundred times more efficient to do so.¡±


    Zhao Feng was filled with joy. His Eye Intent and his soul had both become stronger as he withstood the God Tribulation Lightning, and they might soon contain the element of Lightning if he continued absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning.


    Now he just needed to absorb more and comprehend the laws and Intent behind it. Since his soul now contained the faintest trace of God Tribulation Lightning aura, his purple whirlpools weren¡¯t destroyed as easily. The further he progressed, the more efficient he became.


    ¡°If this continues, my soul will become comparable to an Emperor¡¯s within a year or two.¡±


    Zhao Feng was surprised. God Tribulation Lightning was a power that reigned supreme, and it could even kill peak Sacred Lords and Demigods. Although the amount Zhao Feng had currently absorbed wasn¡¯t even one ten-thousandth of a single bolt of God Tribulation Lightning, it was still very helpful to his soul.


    Demigod Kun Yun, just wait for the surprise I¡¯m going to give you, Zhao Feng thought as a confident smile appeared on his face.


    According to what the child Demigod said, Zhao Feng needed to cultivate the Golden Kun Sacred Body and use his physical body to store the lightning. Zhao Feng probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to do that even after ten thousand years, so he changed the train of thought; he used the Lightning Absorption technique with his specialty instead ¨C his soul.


    Eventually, Zhao Feng split his thoughts into several different strands. The first went to grind the Intent from the Eye of Death. The second absorbed the God Tribulation Lightning, and the third comprehended it.


    God Tribulation Lightning was a great source of power, and when this power was imprinted on and merged into the soul, his rate of comprehension became more than a hundred times better than before.


    Zhao Feng had a goal, and that was to merge the intent of the God Tribulation Lightning into his Wind Lightning Inheritance.


    The offensive capabilities and speed of the Wind Lightning Inheritance were already stunning. If the raw power of the God Tribulation Lightning was merged into it, its strength would increase by several times.


    As his soul continued to withstand the God Tribulation Lightning, Zhao Feng was able to comprehend the tiniest bit of it.


    A jumping scarlet-colored Wind Lightning appeared in his palm, and contained within it was a faint aura of an immortal and undying lightning.


    Of course, that aura didn¡¯t even make up one ten-thousandth of the scarlet-colored Wind Lightning. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see it¡¯s extremely unique aura, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t even be able to sense it.


    ¡°Done. Now, all I need is time.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. As long as he had several years of time to merge the power of the God Tribulation Lightning into his Eye Intent and his Wind Lightning Inheritance, he would be able to stand at the peak of the three Spiritual Zones.


    In the limitless ocean, the ghost ship sped through the ocean steadily.


    ¡°Master, someone seems to have locked on to our ship,¡± the skeletal Division Leader suddenly said.


    The ocean in front of them was unusually quiet, and there was a bloodthirsty aura that made the nearby beings uneasy.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use his Divine Sense. He let the skeletal Division Leader look around.


    The child Demigod was also pulled out by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°A legendary pirate ship seems to have set its sight on us,¡± the child Demigod opened his senses.


    The sound of flying appeared from behind the ghost ship, and there was a dangerous and fearsome aura.


    ¡°Legendary pirate ship?¡±


    A map suddenly surfaced in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    ¡°The Ten Thousand Abyssal Islands Zone¡­ eighteen corner canyons¡­ what a complex place,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed.


    ¡°So¡­ this is the famous Pirate Sacred Land of the Cang Ocean,¡± the child Demigod revealed an unusual expression.

 694 The Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land

    Pirate Sacred Land?


    Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader had weird expressions.


    Pirate was one of many occupations in the limitless ocean. Zhao Feng had met several pirate ships along their journey, but after these pirate ships saw the ghost ship and its aura, none of them dared to approach.


    However, for this place to be able to be called a Sacred Land was a bit mind-blowing.


    ¡°Really? Doesn¡¯t that mean we¡¯ll get to meet a lot of pirates?¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but lick his lips. Ever since the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had increased by leaps and bounds and he had cultivated many secret techniques, but he never really had the chance to try them out.


    Excitement also flashed in the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s eyes. It had the ghost-corpse array under its control, which was countless times stronger than it was in the past.


    ¡°The Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land isn¡¯t that weak. Each of the Pirate Kings here are strong Void God Realm Kings, and they fight with another until a Pirate Emperor is decided,¡± the child Demigod said. Hearing that, Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader took back their underestimations.


    ¡°Of course, there¡¯s also a unique inheritance here ¨C the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance,¡± the child Demigod paused after speaking up to there.


    Pirate Emperor Inheritance? Zhao Feng felt even weirder.


    ¡°Dozens of millennia ago, there was a Pirate Emperor whose battle-power was great enough to destroy several two-star sects. The Floating Dream Sacred Land managed to barely defeat him, but before he died, he created an inheritance containing all his treasures. From then on, the throne of the Pirate Emperor continued onward,¡± the child Demigod said and sighed. He looked at Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader with a playful smile as their expressions started to become solemn.


    The Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land was a place where pirates thrived, hence the term ¡°Sacred Land.¡± Every Pirate King was a Void God Realm King, and they all fought each other until a Pirate Emperor was decided.


    Whoosh!


    Right as Zhao Feng was understanding more about the Pirate Sacred Land, the sound of flying appeared. Immediately afterward, a ship with a blood-colored mast several hundred meters wide flew over.


    The blood-colored-mast ship was a legendary pirate ship, and it was on par with the speed of Zhao Feng¡¯s ship even though it was several times bigger.


    ¡°To the ship in front of us, you better stop and get ready to be inspected,¡± a cold and dominating voice sounded. As soon as the words sounded, several half-step King Divine Senses descended onto the ghost ship.


    Weng~~


    The speed of the ghost ship instantly slowed down.


    ¡°Those three half-step Kings have all comprehended some Heaven Earth Magnificent Power,¡± Zhao Feng was slightly moved. He and the child Demigod weren¡¯t affected, but the skeletal Division Leader felt a slight pressure and was nervous.


    ¡°There also seems to be a King-level Divine Sense,¡± the child Demigod had a casual expression.


    At the same time, on the blood-colored-mast ship:


    ¡°Hmm? Weird¡­¡± a skinny male with blood-colored hair revealed an unusual expression as he sat on a throne.


    His eyes were as sharp as an eagle¡¯s, and his Divine Sense was scanning across the ghost ship. He saw a skeleton, a youth with a faint aura, and a three-year-old kid. The kid¡¯s voice was extremely babyish, but he actually the Divine Sense.


    ¡°This ship probably isn¡¯t simple,¡± the blood-colored-hair King took back his underestimation. As one of the Pirate Kings of the Eighteen Corner Canyons, he was extremely experienced and careful.


    Boom!


    With a thought, a blood-colored light started to fill the air. The ghost ship that was still a hundred miles away was instantly restricted by the Magnificent Power. Although it tried to struggle, it was unable to move.


    This was the power of the Void God Realm. All those below Kings were ants.


    ¡°Master, what should we do?¡± the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s breathing rate quickened as it started to panic. It originally thought that the other side was just a bunch of normal half-step King pirates at most. However, this was the Pirate Sacred Land.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed slightly troublesome,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze landed on the child Demigod, which made the latter hiccup.


    ¡°En, how about this? Little Kun Yun, I promote you to Captain of Defense of the ghost ship,¡± Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    Captain of Defense? the child Demigod almost spat out blood. Zhao Feng clearly just wanted to use him as a free bodyguard, but there was nothing he could do. He was the servant, so he could only do as ordered.


    ¡°If you pirates know what¡¯s good for you then quickly fuck off!¡± the child Demigod stood on the deck and shouted in his baby voice.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A half-step King led a group of Sovereigns and Sovereign Lords and charged toward the ghost ship. Glancing at the fierce-looking three-year-old baby, the pirates all paused before roaring in laughter.


    ¡°Hahaha! A baby whose hair hasn¡¯t even grown yet.¡±


    ¡°Awwwww, he¡¯s so cute! I don¡¯t think I can even attack him.¡±


    Several female pirates had playful expressions, but jokes were just jokes. They could tell that this kid definitely wasn¡¯t simple. Putting aside a three-year-old baby, anyone below the True Spirit Realm would find it extremely difficult to survive in the limitless ocean.


    ¡°Take over the ship first,¡± the half-step King ordered.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The weakest of these dozens of pirates was at the Small Origin Core Realm, and they all leapt at the ghost ship.


    ¡°Set up the array.¡±


    The skeletal Division Leader waved its array flag, and dark gray smoke appeared and radiated a shocking curse power.


    ¡°Watch out!¡± the expression of the blood-colored-hair King aboard his ship changed dramatically.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± several pirates who had charged forward screamed as they touched the ghost-corpse smoke. They quickly turned into puddles of blood and water as they were devoured by the array. Any Sovereign would die if even a tiny bit of the curse touched them, and Sovereign Lords would lose a layer of skin even if they weren¡¯t hit head-on.


    Hu~~


    The skeletal Division Leader¡¯s confidence rose as it waved the array flag, sending gray hands of smoke toward the pirates and turning them into blood and water.


    ¡°Even my powers are being eroded by that curse!¡± the blood-colored-hair King couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    The power of the cursed array had reached a shocking stage. It was unparalleled against those below the Void God Realm, and it could even threaten Kings.


    At this moment, the child Demigod attacked. Golden light started to glow around his body.


    Boom!


    The child Demigod sent out a fist and crushed the air with a dominating golden-colored fist.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    Three or four pirates in front of him were crushed into paste and instantly killed.


    The child Demigod¡¯s strength came from the Golden Kun Sacred Body, and he had reached an incredible level in it. A simple and straightforward punch had pierced through the Magnificent Power of a King.


    ¡°What kind of fist technique was that?¡± the blood-colored-hair King felt his powers become unstable as he was being eroded by the curse.


    ¡°All of you, die!¡± decisiveness flashed through the child Demigod¡¯s eyes as he turned into a golden beam of light and charged toward the pirates.


    Bam! Bam! Boom!


    In an instant, golden fists ripped more than a dozen pirates into pieces like paper. His speed was just too fast. Even the half-step King leading them was punched into the ocean by the child Demigod, and no one knew whether he was still alive or not.


    ¡°Bastard, die!¡±


    A wave of Magnificent Power made the child Demigod¡¯s figure slow down, but the child Demigod was, after all, a Demigod in his prime, while the Golden Kun Sacred Body was one of the best techniques in the world.


    He moved with a unique footwork as he unleashed his fists, and the pressure of the Magnificent Power against him was decreased by more than 70%.


    ¡°Washing the Heavens with Blood!¡± the blood-colored-hair King thrust out his palm, and it gave off an aura of Destruction and bloodthirstiness. In an instant, the sky turned blood-red, and all the animals started to tremble. Their thoughts seemed to become frozen.


    The ghost ship and the child Demigod were enveloped by the attack. On the other hand, the nearby pirates were not only not injured by this blood-colored light, they were actually healed by it.


    ¡°Golden Emperor¡¯s Fist!¡±


    The child Demigod sent out a fist that grew bigger the further it travelled, like a snowball. The air near it seemed to be crushed by a mountain.


    Boom!


    The two powers clashed.


    With a Bam!, the child Demigod was pushed back half a mile, but his golden skin gave off an ancient body-strengthening aura. Although he was disadvantaged against a King, he hadn¡¯t been injured.


    ¡°The child Demigod¡¯s state of existence has reached the level of a King after using the meat from the Ancient Dream Realm, and his Golden Kun Sacred Body has recovered to the peak fourth level,¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. Half a ton of Ancient Dream Realm meat had already made the child Demigod¡¯s bloodline and power so strong, and he now gave off a more ancient and original aura.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    The nearby pirates were crushed into different shapes and sizes from the shockwave of the clash. The gazes of some pirates nearby turned fearful as they looked at the child Demigod, and the heart of the blood-colored-hair King went cold.


    Hu~~


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the array flag and started to devour the essence of the pirates.


    ¡°Retreat,¡± the blood-colored-hair King suddenly sensed something and ordered a retreat.


    The child Demigod and skeletal Division Leader both felt weird as they looked at the retreating pirates.


    ¡°Captain, with our strength, we don¡¯t need to be scared of that ghost ship,¡± a half-step King said with puzzlement.


    ¡°The tricentennial Battle of the Pirate Emperor is about to start. We need to help the Black Shark King get the throne of the Pirate Emperor and enter the inheritance. No matter what, a new Pirate Emperor is about to be crowned,¡± the blood-colored-hair King said, and his eyes looked at the ghost ship like a hawk.


    ¡°That ghost ship is full of mystery. There¡¯s still another mysterious youth on it, and I also can¡¯t see through that kid. Coming in at this moment means that they¡¯re most likely one of the other Pirate King¡¯s reinforcements.¡±


    The expression of the blood-colored-hair King started to become solemn.


    At the same time, there were another three Pirate King legendary ships within ten thousand miles, and their forces were spread throughout every corner, watching the situation here.

 695 Domain-level King

    The cautiousness and instinct of the blood-colored-hair King surprised Zhao Feng.


    If the child Demigod and the skeletal Division Leader weren¡¯t able to handle it, then Zhao Feng would definitely come out at the critical moment, but he wanted to understand the child Demigod¡¯s strength.


    The battle-power he displayed moved Zhao Feng. His cultivation was almost at the peak Great Origin Core Realm, and his bloodline technique had recovered a lot with the help of the meat from the Ancient Dream Realm. Even without the use of secret techniques, the child Demigod was able to clash with a King. Zhao Feng was even suspicious that the child Demigod wasn¡¯t using his full strength.


    Of course, he was still confident that he had control over the child Demigod. His soul-strength had already surpassed normal Kings, and it definitely surpassed the child Demigod¡¯s. Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s Soul Sea had absorbed a wisp of the God Tribulation Lightning and was cleansed by it.


    ¡°Master, where should we go next? Should we go around the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land?¡± the skeletal Division Leader asked.


    Zhao Feng swiped his hand and created a faint blue map with his hand. The map revealed the landscape of the Ten Thousand Abyssal Islands Zone and the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land.


    The area was extremely complex and unique. The Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land had many places similar to the Eight Desolate Mountain. The ¡°Eighteen Corners¡± represented eighteen canyon-like areas, each at least the size of the Eight Desolate Mountain.


    The Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land was the only way to reach the nearby four or five island zones. Apart from the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land, the only other routes through the Ten Thousand Abyssal Islands Zone had bad weather and countless Abyssal Windstorms formed by nature, and each of them spanned several thousand to dozens of thousands of miles.


    An Abyssal Windstorm was a pitch-black storm that could devour large ships. No one could explain why they were formed. Even Sovereign Lords would need to be extremely careful when flying around an Abyssal Windstorm.


    ¡°If we go around, we would need to go about five to ten times more than the original distance,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows locked together.


    The landscape of the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land was really unique. It was the only way to reach the nearby four or five island zones, and it was full of natural barriers. No wonder it became a Pirate Sacred Land.


    ¡°We can¡¯t go around it,¡± Zhao Feng decided. If they went around, it would take too much time, and perhaps the Pursuit of Death would catch up. Compared to some Pirate Kings, Zhao Feng was much more worried about the Pursuit of Death.


    Whoosh!


    The ghost ship flew through the air, and its speed was comparable to some legendary ships.


    The child Demigod and the skeletal Division Leader guarded the ship, and the ghostly aura from the ship alone was enough to make normal pirates stay away.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng sat down, but he didn¡¯t absorb the God Tribulation Lightning. Continuous absorption would use a lot of his energy, which wasn¡¯t a good thing when they were passing through such an environment.


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, and a red wooden cup and a green flask appeared. The two wines were the Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine respectively.


    ¡°The Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine are on the same level as the Illusion God Wine, and they have the elements of Fire and Lightning respectively. I still haven¡¯t used them all up yet.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. He purposely hadn¡¯t finished all the wines, including the Illusion God Wine. Firstly, continuous use would weaken the effect, and secondly, relying too much on outside items would mean that it wasn¡¯t his own comprehension, which wouldn¡¯t benefit his cultivation.


    Now that so much time had passed, and Zhao Feng had even tried to comprehend the intent of the God Tribulation Lightning and his understanding of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning had reached more than 60%, he believed that using the two wines would benefit his Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    Gulu!


    Zhao Feng took a big gulp of each.


    His state of existence and body were much stronger than when he was in the Sacred Land, which was due to the water of the Ancient Dream Realm. Zhao Feng was constantly drinking large amounts of it, which helped his state of existence, body, cultivation, and even his soul.


    The dominant powers of the Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine soon flowed within Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    This was the first time he had drunk both at the same time. The elements of the two were fire and lightning, so when used together, it was more effective for comprehending the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    An entire day passed until Zhao Feng was able to absorb the majority of the two powers, and the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning within his body started to become active. At this moment in time, any breath he let out had a burning sensation. Wind and lightning also seemed to howl around it.


    ¡°I¡¯ve comprehended about 70-80% of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, and my cultivation isn¡¯t very far away from the peak Great Origin Core Realm now,¡± Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head.


    He still had one portion each of the Dragon Flame Wine and the Lightning Cloud Wine remaining, which he was planning to use several months later.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s power and control over the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning had surpassed the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s when he was at this stage.


    Furthermore, the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning had a tiny bit of God Tribulation Lightning aura contained within it, which gave off an immortal and undying feeling. Of course, it would be hard to sense this aura if one didn¡¯t look closely, but Zhao Feng believed that this aura of the God Tribulation Lightning still had an unique effect.


    ¡°Captain, there¡¯s a legendary pirate ship charging toward us,¡± the skeletal Division Leader suddenly said.


    In the limitless ocean, there was a dark warship covered in mist several hundred miles ahead of the ghost ship, and it was charging over. The momentum of this ship was even stronger than the blood-colored-mast ship from before.


    ¡°The ghost ship in front of us! I¡¯ll give you one chance to become subordinates of the Dark Dragon King,¡± a raspy voice sounded from the dark warship, and immediately following that, a Magnificent Power passed through the air and covered the ghost ship.


    The air seemed to change, and the ghost ship entered a dark dimension full of raging flames.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on!?¡± the skeletal Division Leader exclaimed as it lost sense of direction.


    The expression of the child Demigod changed as he murmured, ¡°This is going to be troublesome; it¡¯s a Domain-level King.¡±


    Domain-level King. Zhao Feng¡¯s heart dropped as the ghost ship was locked on to by the dark dimension of flame.


    ¡°Domain-level King¡± referred to Void God Realm Kings that had comprehended a spatial domain, and they were rare even in the True Martial Sacred Land.


    Kings could be split into three types:


    A normal King ¨C those at the early-stage or middle-stage Void God Realm, such as Nan Gongsheng or the blue-robed King.


    Domain-level King ¨C normally at the middle or late-stage Void God Realm, and they had comprehended a spatial domain. Their understanding of Space surpassed normal Kings.


    Peak-tier King ¨C those at the peak Void God Realm, and only below Emperors. Some could even fight an Emperor.


    ¡°We¡¯re in the opponent¡¯s spatial domain. His control of Heaven and Earth is stronger, and it¡¯s harder to break out of,¡± the expression of the child Demigod was solemn. He fought a mere normal King earlier and didn¡¯t have any advantage.


    ¡°Brats, I¡¯ll give you half the time it takes to make tea to decide. The Dark Dragon King is one of the three strongest figureheads in the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land. It¡¯s your glory to be able to become the subordinate of the future Pirate Emperor,¡± the raspy voice lured.


    Zhao Feng, who was still in the ghost ship, wasn¡¯t able to hide from the opponent¡¯s senses since he was in the opponent¡¯s spatial domain.


    Dark Dragon King¡­ three strongest¡­ Pirate Emperor¡­. Thoughts passed by quickly in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind, and he suddenly realized that he was now involved in the fight for the position of Pirate Emperor.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance is a peak Emperor Inheritance, but it¡¯s not as good as the Demigod Forgotten Garden,¡± Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t very interested in this inheritance. Furthermore, only by becoming a true pirate would he be able to receive the inheritance.


    However, the landscape of this island zone was very treacherous, and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to go around the Pirate Sacred Land.


    On the dark ship ahead, an elder with a red mole on his forehead was holding a staff and was covered in a magnificent dark light. He was clad in gray robes, and his eyes were like those of poisonous snakes as he stared at the ghost ship in front.


    ¡°Lord Dark Snake, is this ghost ship really worthy of us coming here to recruit them? They probably won¡¯t be able to do much in the fight for Pirate Emperor,¡± a green-eyed pirate asked respectfully.


    The elder in gray robes was Lord Dark Snake, the right-hand man of the Dark Dragon King.


    ¡°That ghost ship is extremely fast, and it has a unique ghost-corpse array. Its battle-power is probably comparable to a normal legendary pirate ship¡± the eyes of the elder in gray were fiery hot. They could either steal the ship or recruit them, either way there were only benefits. Normal Pirate Kings didn¡¯t even have the right to take down the ghost ship, but Lord Dark Snake was a Domain-level King, and his pirate ship was amongst the top ten.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng was quiet. He gazed at the child Demigod, and they started to communicate through the Dark Heart Seed.


    ¡°Little Kun Yun, are you able to break through the domain of a King?¡± Zhao Feng asked. His Eye Intent was stronger than normal Kings, and if he used his eye-bloodline, he was confident he could break out, but he couldn¡¯t use it without attracting the Pursuit of Death.


    ¡°With the current level of my Golden Kun Sacred Body and Fist Intent, I should be able to create a gap, but I can¡¯t defeat a Domain-level King unless Master lets me merge with the Demigod Intent,¡± the child Demigod said expectantly. If he was able to merge with the Demigod Intent, his strength would increase dramatically.


    ¡°A gap is enough,¡± Zhao Feng smiled. He was restricting the Demigod¡¯s growth, so he couldn¡¯t let him merge with the Demigod Intent too early.


    ¡°Juniors, what is your response?¡± Lord Dark Snake¡¯s raspy voice resounded throughout the dim dimension.


    ¡°As long as you can defeat us, we will become subordinates of the Dark Dragon King,¡± Zhao Feng said steadily.


    ¡°Defeat you? Zhe zhe, if you don¡¯t do what I say, the only path for you is death¡± Lord Dark Snake¡¯s voice became cold. The next instant, a fierce and deadly poisonous air started to erode the ghost ship. The power of the spatial domain stopped the ship from moving, and Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing rate quickened.


    ¡°Heaven Shattering Golden Fist!¡± the child Demigod attacked and sent out a beam of dominating light that ripped a hole in the dim dimension.


    Wings of Wind and Lightning!


    A pair of scarlet-colored wings formed behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back.

 696 Fighting a Void God Realm

    ¡°Hmm? That child¡­!¡± the gray-robed elder was surprised. His King Intent was in control of the spatial domain, but a three-year-old kid had ripped open a hole. The force and Intent from the child seemed to have surpassed the world as it hit the weakest point of his spatial domain.


    Wings of Wind and Lightning! a light flashed by, taking the child Demigod and flying out of the gap in the spatial domain.


    So fast! the gray-robed elder didn¡¯t expect that. He didn¡¯t even have time to fix the hole in his spatial domain.


    The child Demigod and Zhao Feng worked very well together. The former created a hole and the latter used the Wings of Wind and Lightning to charge out of the King¡¯s domain.


    ¡°Domain-level King, come out and fight.¡±


    Battle-intent surged from Zhao Feng, and the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning wings on his back seemed to burn. They brought a terrifying scorching aura and sent a gust of several-hundred-meters-wide red wind toward the dark warship.


    The child Demigod clutched onto Zhao Feng¡¯s back and felt the destructive Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, which seemed able to burn everything into ashes.


    The inheritance of a mere Emperor can be this strong? the child Demigod was stunned. Compared to when he was in the True Martial Sacred Land, Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning was now twice as strong.


    ¡°What a powerful aura¡­ open the array!¡± the gray-robed elder ordered. He had to admit that the battle-power of this winged youth was enough to fight with a normal King. The gray-robed elder could even see that Zhao Feng¡¯s inheritance came from the Wind Lightning Emperor, who had the fastest speed long ago and was as famous as the first Pirate Emperor.


    ¡°Get back here!¡± the gray-robed elder leapt into the air, and his King Intent formed a domain that started to envelope the youth with wings. A single thought of his could restrict anyone below the Void God Realm and shatter their souls.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Wind Flash!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning fluttered quickly and flashed through the air.


    Instead of slowing down, his speed increased. His Wings of Wind and Lightning had the ability to break through space, and Zhao Feng¡¯s soul, body, and state of existence had all reached the same level as a King, so he wasn¡¯t scared of the Magnificent Power of a King.


    ¡°Break!¡± a layer of golden light appeared around the body of the child Demigod, and he sent powerful golden fists with power comparable to King Intent through the air.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    Before the spatial domain could be completely formed, it was broken by Zhao Feng and the child Demigod.


    Qiu~~~~~!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed reached a state that shocked the gray-robed elder. He now had the capacity to attack a Domain-level King.


    ¡°That brat¡­ is strong,¡± the pirates aboard the dark warship were stunned.


    Lightning Wings Wind Flash!


    A bolt of Wind Lightning with a burning sensation charged over, and its speed was so fast that it made normal Kings helpless.


    ¡°Demon Snake Sky!¡± the Dark Snake Lord suddenly raised his staff. A large abyss started to form in the air above them, and it had a strong suction force.


    Wu~~~~


    A large, several-hundred-meters-long dark snake started to crawl out of the abyss. Its eyes were cold and chaotic as it threw itself at Zhao Feng.


    As Zhao Feng approached the abyss, his speed decreased. The abyss in the air took up most of the space nearby, and it was still expanding.


    ¡°Golden Emperor¡¯s Fist!¡± the child Demigod punched out and created a hole in the snake¡¯s head, but the Demon Snake was a mix between a physical existence and True Yuan, so it wasn¡¯t critically injured and it kept on attacking Zhao Feng and the child Demigod.


    However, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t scared at all.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning summoned a red whirlwind several hundred meters wide as it heavily clashed with the snake. Explosions sounded continuously, and the area was filled with the howl of wind and the crackling of lightning.


    The snake started to shatter bit by bit.


    ¡°A Domain-level King is only so-so.¡±


    The wings behind Zhao Feng were twenty yards long, and he looked like a demon. With him at the center, everything within several dozen miles was engulfed by the terrifying power of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    Even the defensive array on the dark warship started to dim and shake. The pirates aboard the ship held their breath, and their expressions changed dramatically.


    ¡°Kekeke¡­.¡± Lord Dark Snake laughed weirdly and drew a circle with his staff.


    Wu~~


    Instead of fading away, the abyss in the air kept on expanding.


    Wu~~ Shuuu! Shuu! Shuuu!


    Three snakes peered out of the abyss and surrounded Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Three of them!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s back felt cold. The three snakes had sealed off his path of retreat. The abyss in the air was Lord Dark Snake¡¯s domain, which restricted Zhao Feng¡¯s speed.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod were each hit by a snake and sent in different directions.


    ¡°Do you really think you can defeat a Domain-level King?¡± deadliness flashed through Lord Dark Snake¡¯s eyes as he waved his staff, and the three snakes summoned Magnificent Power that blocked Zhao Feng and the child Demigod.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod were split apart.


    The child Demigod¡¯s skin glowed with a golden light, and he wasn¡¯t actually injured. With his Demigod bloodline and Golden Kun Sacred Body, no one knew how strong he actually was.


    On the other end, a layer of water surrounded Zhao Feng¡¯s body, and there was a layer of purple scales on his skin. With the help of the Water bloodline and the defensive bloodline obtained from the Purple Scaled Grass, he wasn¡¯t really injured either.


    ¡°These two brats¡­.¡± solemnness finally appeared on the face of Lord Dark Snake. The defenses of the child Demigod and Zhao Feng were monstrous. Even he couldn¡¯t see through it.


    ¡°Sky Shattering Golden Fist!¡± the child Demigod charged toward the abyss in the air and sent out a glowing fist that punched straight into the depths.


    ¡°Ridiculous!¡± Lord Dark Snake roared. He felt slightly troubled since the body of the child Demigod was too small, and yet the child¡¯s three-year-old body contained too much power. His each and every fist hit all the critical points. He couldn¡¯t help but be suspicious; did a Void God Realm Emperor steal this body? Or was it an old person that had somehow returned to baby form?


    Weng~~


    A crack started to appear in the center of the abyss. The child Demigod was just a tiny dot that flew between the three snakes.


    Peng! Peng! Bam!


    His body moved in a mystical way as he sent beams of golden fist-light that seemed able to crush Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it,¡± Lord Dark Snake snickered coldly as he waved his staff and sealed off the child Demigod.


    The child Demigod¡¯s figure finally started to slow down, but right at this moment:


    ¡°Lightning Wings Flying Technique!¡±


    A blurry light seemed to break through space and disappeared from the abyss.


    Not good! the expression of Lord Dark Snake changed. He had been focusing on the child Demigod too much and forgot about Zhao Feng.


    Lightning Wings Flying Technique!


    With a whoosh!, a pair of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning wings twenty yards long appeared in front of Lord Dark Snake.


    Close combat ¨C a scarlet palm full of chaos, fire, and lightning hit Lord Dark Snake.


    ¡°Do you think it¡¯ll be that easy?¡± Lord Dark Snake snickered, and a layer of smoke appeared from the staff and formed a barrier.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attack hit the barrier of smoke. The smoke around Lord Dark Snake shook, but it wasn¡¯t ripped apart like Zhao Feng expected.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Zhao Feng felt as if his palm had entered another dimension, and it felt like a stone that sunk into the ocean.


    Spatial dimension!


    His expression changed dramatically as he instantly reacted to it. The palm just now could severely injure ¨C if not kill ¨C Kings, but as a Domain-level King, Lord Dark Snake had opened his defenses and was protected by the spatial domain, meaning that the spatial dimension also took some damage from Zhao Feng¡¯s attack.


    Bam!


    Lord Dark Snake groaned as he was sent flying by Zhao Feng¡¯s palm. Although the spatial dimension had taken some of the damage, Zhao Feng¡¯s Intent of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning had reached an incredible level.


    He understood 70% of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, but its power was almost at the same level as the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s golden-colored Wind Lightning.


    Zhao Feng could destroy a city if he wanted to.


    Furthermore, this King¡¯s spatial domain hadn¡¯t even fully materialized yet.


    ¡°Brat, I didn¡¯t think that you had already comprehended the Wind Lightning Inheritance to such a stage. If you join the Dark Dragon King¡¯s forces now, you still have a chance to live,¡± Lord Dark Snake¡¯s expression dimmed. The blow just now had only slightly injured him, but the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning had a burning effect that still rampaged within his body.


    ¡°Wind Lightning Wings Slash!¡± Zhao Feng used his attack to show his response as he left behind an afterimage.


    Shua~~~~!


    A sharp figure blinked through the air.


    Whoosh~~~!


    Lord Dark Snake couldn¡¯t dodge the attack, and a figure of scarlet-colored Wind Lightning flashed by.


    The Wind Lightning Wings Slash was a power battle technique of the Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    Lord Dark Snake howled as a bloody gash appeared on his body, which extended from his head to his stomach. If it weren¡¯t for the protection of his spatial domain, that Wind Lightning Wings Slash would¡¯ve chopped him in half.


    ¡°Golden Emperor¡¯s Fist!¡± the child Demigod turned into a streak of golden light and charged toward Lord Dark Snake from the other side.


    Retreat! the expression of Lord Dark Snake changed dramatically as he released dark smoke from his staff that blotted out the sun.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s and the child Demigod¡¯s senses were restricted by this smoke.


    Lord Dark Snake appeared on the dark warship with a pale expression several breaths later.


    ¡°Even if we team up, we can¡¯t kill a Domain-level King,¡± the child Demigod sighed.


    ¡°That might not be true,¡± Zhao Feng said casually as a dark silver bow with ancient and mysterious carvings on it appeared in his hand. The bowstring glittered with a cold metallic light.

 697 Pirate King Token

    Seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s actions, the child Demigod¡¯s expression froze. The Sky Locking Bow was a powerful weapon that the Demigod Kun Yun owned in the past, so he knew this bow¡¯s specialty.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng gripped the Sky Locking Bow, and silver light formed markings on the bow. His other hand poured Scarlet Destruction True Yuan into the bow and pulled back the bowstring. A golden arrow with a layer of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning started to condense on the string and intertwined with the silver markings.


    The child Demigod felt a piercing aura that made even his powerful body hurt, and he was stunned.


    The aura of the Sky Locking Bow reached a peak, and Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye glittered with a faint purple as his mental energy became one with the Sky Locking Bow.


    At this moment, he used a tiny bit of his eye-bloodline.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!?¡± Lord Dark Snake, who was a hundred miles away, felt his heart go cold. He felt like he had been locked on to by a piercing aura.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng released the bowstring, and a golden arrow covered in a glow of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning flashed through the air. The very next instant, the golden arrow had pierced through the dark warship.


    ¡°Not good!¡± Lord Dark Snake¡¯s expression changed dramatically, and his body went cold. His spatial domain merged into the space around him and formed a defensive barrier. He moved several hundred meters to the side, but that aura seemed to have locked on to his very soul. It was unavoidable.


    Bam!


    With a flash of golden light and some Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, a piercing arrow shot through Lord Dark Snake¡¯s body.


    ¡°How¡­?¡± Lord Dark Snake¡¯s body froze as he uttered out.


    The golden arrow had pierced through his heart, and the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning started to spread.


    The spatial domain around him didn¡¯t seem to have been very effective. Even a Domain-level King didn¡¯t have the ability to dodge this arrow.


    ¡°Any target locked on to by the Sky Locking Bow can¡¯t evade it, and spatial domains that haven¡¯t materialized yet are useless against the Sky Locking Bow,¡± the child Demigod murmured. He was extremely wary; he didn¡¯t think that Zhao Feng would be able to successfully control the Sky Locking Bow. In his memories, he remembered that the requirements to use the Sky Locking Bow were extremely difficult.


    Without a unique eye-bloodline or Space soul-talent, it was hard to be recognized by this bow and use its true power, but Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely compatible with the Sky Locking Bow.


    ¡°So what if you¡¯re a King?¡± Zhao Feng put down the Sky Locking Bow, and the faint purple faded from his left eye. The energy used to lock on to someone was extremely little, but Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to take any chances.


    ¡°Lord Dark Snake!¡± the pirates aboard the dark warship broke out into chaos and were filled with fear.


    The aura of life in Lord Dark Snake¡¯s body started to fade as the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning rampaged throughout his body.


    Zhao Feng was very confident in this arrow. The arrows of the Sky Locking Bow contained a metallic power that was extremely sharp, and they could pierce through anything in their way. Adding on the fact that Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning had been condensed into the arrow, its power was even stronger.


    The arrow was also unavoidable, and it easily hit the heart of Lord Dark Snake.


    ¡°Sky¡­ Sky Locking Bow!¡± shock appeared in Lord Dark Snake¡¯s eyes as he understood how he lost, but he wasn¡¯t in despair.


    ¡°I¡­ won¡¯t forgive you,¡± the light in Lord Dark Snake¡¯s eyes started to dim.


    ¡°Master, he¡¯s not truly dead!¡± the child Demigod suddenly remembered something and warned. As soon as he said it, a surge of King Intent and soul-power flashed from within the body of Lord Dark Snake. A faint spiritual-looking figure could be seen in the air as it started flying with the power of King Intent.


    ¡°Yuan Soul Escape!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he understood.


    When one reached the Void God Realm, their souls would undergo a change, and they could form a type of Yuan Soul with Heaven and Earth. Yuan Souls were much stronger than normal souls, and they could live even outside the body. They even had the ability to fight.


    Because the Yuan Soul was a spiritual form, its speed was more than ten times faster than normal, not to mention the assistance of King Intent.


    Whoosh!


    In the blink of an eye, Lord Dark Snake¡¯s Yuan Soul had already flown several hundred miles.


    ¡°Master, the Sky Locking Bow counters Yuan Souls,¡± the child Demigod advised. Under normal situations, Zhao Feng would only be able to watch a King¡¯s Yuan Soul escape since the Yuan Soul was a spiritual entity that flew very quickly. Even Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t catch up to one, and once the Yuan Soul escaped and found another body, they could steal it.


    ¡°Hehehe, get back here!¡± Zhao Feng pulled back the bowstring of the Sky Locking Bow once more, and a faint purple aura flashed across his left eye.


    ¡°No!¡± Lord Dark Snake several hundred miles away felt his Yuan Soul go cold, and he became uneasy. No matter how fast he flew, there was no feeling of safety.


    Whoosh!


    A brilliant golden arrow flew through the air, and it seemed to have the ability to break through space.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± Lord Dark Snake¡¯s Yuan Soul screamed as the arrow hit him, shattering the Yuan Soul.


    ¡°I killed a King!¡± Zhao Feng was overjoyed and extremely excited. This was the first time he had killed a Void God Realm King. Although the child Demigod had helped, the King that they killed was a Domain-level King, not a normal one.


    ¡°Go!¡± Zhao Feng put away the Sky Locking Bow and ordered the child Demigod and the skeletal Division Leader to take care of the warship while he went to get Lord Dark Snake¡¯s treasures.


    Zhao Feng soon found a dark golden bracelet, and the space within it was not much different from the ancient metal ring. Domain-level Kings were extremely rich, and he was also a Pirate King.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad,¡± Zhao Feng put the dark golden bracelet away. The amount of treasures contained within it was enormous.


    After exiting the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Zhao Feng needed to provide resources for the little thieving cat, Demigod Kun Yun, and himself, so he was running a bit low. Now that he had received all the possessions of a Pirate King, his wealth recovered a bit.


    ¡°Hmm? This is¡­?¡± Zhao Feng found a special token with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. It was made of a unique material, and it wasn¡¯t damaged from the explosion of the Yuan Soul.


    This token was white and looked like a bone, but it also glittered with a metallic light. On one side of the token was a skeleton, and on the other side was the word ¡°King.¡±


    ¡°Pirate King Token.¡±


    Information regarding this token appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind when he held it. At the same time, he felt the auras of the other seventeen Pirate King Tokens that were spread out across the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land.


    Elsewhere, the skeletal Division Leader and the child Demigod were killing the other pirates aboard the warship. Several of them were at the half-step Void God Realm, and when they fought together they could fight against a normal King, but after Lord Dark Snake died, they were full of fear and were running away.


    The skeletal Division Leader controlled the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and devoured the essence of many Sovereigns and Sovereign Lords.


    The smoky power of the ghost-corpse array increased steadily.


    Zhao Feng also purposely made the skeletal Division Leader devour the body of Lord Dark Snake with the array, including the shattered soul¡¯s power. This meant that the ghost-corpse array had now devoured a King, and its curse reached a stunning level.


    The dark warship was soon conquered by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°But, this token¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows locked together.


    This Pirate King Token couldn¡¯t be put into interspatial items, and its aura was mysteriously connected with the Pirate Sacred Land.


    When Zhao Feng returned to his ship, the Pirate King Token suddenly sensed something, and the ghost ship trembled with excitement.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s ghost ship was originally a pirate ship that had a bit of its own consciousness. At this moment in time, the aura of the two were merging together. As the captain, Zhao Feng instinctively felt that the Pirate King Token had reached some sort of agreement with the ghost ship.


    Weng~


    A dark light started to glow around the Pirate King Token, and with a whoosh!, it merged into the ghost ship.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Zhao Feng and company felt the ship shake, and its aura became more chaotic as it formed a mysterious connection with the Pirate Sacred Land.


    ¡°Master, every characteristic of the ship just became stronger!¡± the skeletal Division Leader said with joy. After this battle, Zhao Feng¡¯s ghost-corpse array and ship both became more powerful.


    Although that was supposed to be a happy event, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows were furrowed. He felt as if the ghost ship had become a part of the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land and lost its freedom.


    Right at this moment, a chaotic aura surged from in front.


    Hu~~


    A ship at least as big as Lord Dark Snake¡¯s appeared along with the descent of wind and lightning. Its existence caused the waves nearby to howl, and it was a couple hundred meters wide. Heaven and Earth seemed to surround the King of this ship.


    The silver-white ship looked like a large cold moon, and everyone on the ghost ship felt a cold killing intent.


    ¡°Sir, after killing Lord Dark Snake, you have become the new Pirate King and part of the Pirate Sacred Land. Are you interested in joining the Moon King?¡± a cold and decisive female voice sounded.


    At the head of the silver-white ship stood a female in silver robes with a sword and blade on her back. The silver-robed female had a flawless and dazzling figure. Her legs were perfect, and the sword and blade on her back gave off a heroic feeling. She was surrounded by a cold and magnificent moonlight, and the air around her was filled with an aura of slaughter.


    Zhao Feng and company were stunned.


    The charm of the silver-robed female seemed to be one with her warship.


    ¡°That woman is a Peak-tier King!¡± the child Demigod was extremely wary.

 698 Cold Moon King

    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t expect that this flawless silver-robed female would be one of the three major Pirate Kings ¨C the Cold Moon King.


    The Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land had a total of eighteen Pirate Kings, all Void God Realm Kings, and amongst these eighteen, three of them in particular excelled: the Giant Shark King, the Dark Dragon King, and the Cold Moon King. Each of them was a Peak-tier King and had the chance to try to break through to the next level of the Void God Realm.


    Peak-tier Kings have battle-power unparalleled against anyone less than an Emperor, and they can even challenge an Emperor, Zhao Feng¡¯s face was solemn. The pressure the Cold Moon King gave him was several times stronger than normal Kings.


    Hu~~


    There were legendary ships on the left and right of the silver-white ship, which both had Kings guarding them.


    There was a total of three Void God Realm Kings. One of the them was a normal King, one was a Domain-level King, and the Cold Moon King was a Peak-tier King. Such a force, along with their ships, was enough to wipe out a normal two-star sect.


    ¡°Brat, you should feel honored that the Cold Moon King recognizes your talent,¡± a middle-aged male with a long beard on one of the side-ships said in dissatisfaction.


    The Cold Moon King was the most gorgeous female in the Pirate Sacred Land and famed across the Ten Thousand Abyssal Islands Zone for being an icy beauty. However, compared to her perfect body and looks, her name for killing made most experts lose their courage.


    ¡°Hehe, another one forcing me to join? Is this just how all pirates are?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s smile was cold. Earlier, Lord Dark Snake wanted to force Zhao Feng to join the Dark Dragon King¡¯s forces as well or they would steal his ship.


    ¡°Master, a Peak-tier King isn¡¯t someone we can handle unless you let me merge with the Demigod Intent,¡± cold sweat appeared on the child Demigod as he warned.


    They had undergone a long and arduous process to kill a Domain-level King, and luck had helped them.


    The Sky Locking Bow was a long-range weapon, but the Cold Moon King was known for close combat, and their side had more people. Once they attacked together, Zhao Feng and company wouldn¡¯t be able to fight back at all.


    ¡°Brat, you¡¯re courting death. You¡¯ve offended both the Dark Dragon King and the Giant Shark King at the same time. Joining the Moon King is your only option,¡± a golden-haired male on the other ship said disdainfully. He was a Domain-level King, and Zhao Feng could sense that this male had a Pirate King Token with him. It was obvious that he was also one of the Eighteen Corners Pirate Kings.


    The Cold Moon King slightly raised her hand and stopped the golden-haired male. Her eyes were like moons as she gave a confident smile.


    ¡°Sir, the aura of the Pirate King Token has merged into your ship, and it has now become part of the Pirate Sacred Land and is no longer able to leave the Eighteen Corners Sacred Land. This is part of the Pirate Emperor¡¯s plan. No one has been able to escape from it,¡± the Cold Moon King¡¯s voice was crisp, and her silver cloak fluttered in the air and gave off a cold killing aura. Even normal Kings weren¡¯t able to look at her eyes.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed. When the aura of the Pirate King Token had merged into his ghost ship, he lost his sense of control over it. Now the ghost ship wasn¡¯t able to leave the Eighteen Corners Canyon?


    ¡°If Sir can kill Lord Dark Snake, that means that you are strong. If you join my side, the distribution of Pirate King Tokens will change. After the Pirate Emperor war is over, your ship won¡¯t be limited anymore,¡± the Cold Moon King said faintly, and Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows locked together as he started to think. He didn¡¯t have any suitable ship apart from the ghost ship. The dark warship he had taken was too big and hard to control. On top of that, it was too eye-catching.


    ¡°I, the Cold Moon King, know the difference between punishment and reward. If I manage to take the throne of Pirate Emperor, we will be able to enter the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land, and a share of it will be yours,¡± the Cold Moon King¡¯s face was cold, but she gave a tempting offer.


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod exchanged glances. It seemed that joining the Cold Moon King was their best choice at this point. Zhao Feng had already offended the Giant Shark King and the Dark Dragon King, and the ghost ship was now unable to leave the Eighteen Corners Sacred Land. The only one he hadn¡¯t offended, the Cold Moon King, had come and given him an offer.


    ¡°You must fulfill one requirement if you want me to join,¡± Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    ¡°What is it?¡± the Cold Moon King wasn¡¯t surprised. For someone as strong as Zhao Feng, and now that he was a Pirate King, any one of the three major pirates would want him on their side. At this point, the Dark Dragon King definitely wouldn¡¯t since his relationship with the Dark Snake King was unusual, but there was still a chance with the Giant Shark King. The Cold Moon King would do her best to satisfy Zhao Feng¡¯s requirement.


    ¡°Only by defeating me will you have the right for me to join you,¡± Zhao Feng said, and the Cold Moon King and company revealed surprised expressions. They didn¡¯t expect Zhao Feng to have such a requirement, and the child Demigod couldn¡¯t help but think. Zhao Feng probably had his own plans.


    ¡°Okay, if you win, I will support you to take the throne of Pirate Emperor, but if you lose, you will join us,¡± the Cold Moon King said. She understood that experts like Zhao Feng believed in strength. If she was able to defeat him, he would be more loyal and easier to deal with since these types of experts weren¡¯t very calculating and scheming. However, she didn¡¯t realize that Zhao Feng had done this precisely to make her think that.


    In the air above the ocean, there was no one within dozens of miles, and Zhao Feng faced the Cold Moon King.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, that brat thinks too highly of himself. He¡¯s not even a King yet and he dares to challenge the Cold Moon King?¡± the middle-aged long-bearded male said playfully, and mockery appeared on the golden-haired Domain-level King¡¯s face.


    ¡°Wings of Wind and Lightning!¡± a pair of scarlet-colored wings started to form behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back as lightning and wind intertwined. It gave off a Destructive and chaotic aura.


    Shua!


    An afterimage was left behind.


    ¡°So fast!¡± the subordinates of the Cold Moon King couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, and the expressions of the golden-haired male and the long-bearded male started to become solemn.


    Lightning Wings Wind Flash!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s speed rose dramatically as his Wings of Wind and Lightning fluttered, causing the scarlet-colored wind to become more chaotic.


    The Cold Moon King¡¯s face was ice-cold like snow, but her voluptuous breasts, long legs, and curvy ass created a perfect body. Zhao Feng had to admit that the Cold Moon King was the most perfect amongst the females he had seen, and her straightforward and heroic attitude had another type of charm to it.


    Facing Zhao Feng¡¯s utmost speed, the Cold Moon King¡¯s perfect body tensed up.


    Whoosh~~~~~ Boom!


    The Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning wings summoned a chaotic whirlwind that swept toward the Cold Moon King and covered everything within several hundred meters. The Cold Moon King didn¡¯t dodge though. Instead, she drew a slim crescent sword out.


    ¡°Unique Cold Moon!¡±


    The crescent sword slashed through the air and released sword-beams that were like moonlight as they covered everything standing in their way. The sword was as fast as lightning, and it turned the area into a world of frost.


    Hu!!


    The whirlwind around Zhao Feng was instantly destroyed, and the Wings of Wind and Lightning on his back were pierced by countless beams of moonlight. His body was frozen as the moonlight formed a frosty spatial domain.


    ¡°I lost?¡±


    Zhao Feng felt as if his entire body was surrounded by limitless sword-light, and a crescent-shaped sword was only fifteen centimeters away from his throat. The cold sword seemed to pierce straight into his Soul Sea.


    ¡°You¡¯ve lost.¡±


    The Cold Moon King smiled as she put away the crescent sword, and Zhao Feng remained expressionless as he thought about the Cold Moon King¡¯s sword just now, which had fused her spatial domain into its attack.


    That sword was enough to split normal Kings into two, and he could see that the Cold Moon King specialized in both swords and blades. Only when the two were used together would the Cold Moon King¡¯s true strength be revealed. In that state, she had the possibility of challenging an Emperor.


    Of course, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t gone all out just now. He didn¡¯t use his Lightning Wings Flying Technique or his eye-bloodline.


    So, this is a Peak-tier King. Without my eye-bloodline, I¡¯m definitely not their match, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook. Although he was fast, the Cold Moon King was also fast. Without using his eye-bloodline, he would have no advantage against the Cold Moon King. A Peak-tier King was, after all, a Peak-tier King, and her strength was close to a true Emperor.


    ¡°You are indeed very strong. I will join you for now and help you obtain the Pirate Emperor¡¯s throne,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head as he agreed. He did indeed admire the Cold Moon King¡¯s strength.


    ¡°Welcome! I won¡¯t mistreat my subordinates,¡± a rare smile full of praise appeared on the Cold Moon King¡¯s face. She liked those similar to Zhao Feng ¨C those who were calm and believed in strength. Although he lost, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t demotivated about it.


    ¡°Kid, welcome!¡± the golden-haired male and the middle-aged long-bearded man both smiled and patted him on the shoulder.


    Zhao Feng led the child Demigod and entered the great hall of the Cold Moon King¡¯s ship.


    Within the great hall, the Cold Moon King sat on her throne. Her slim legs were long and as white as jade.


    Below her sat the golden-haired male, the long-bearded male, and Zhao Feng.


    Although Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t a Void God Realm King, he had managed to kill Lord Dark Snake, and he was a Pirate King, so others didn¡¯t underestimate him. Because of all that, his status was on par with the other Kings.


    Zhao Feng greeted some of the middle-upper echelon members of the Cold Moon King¡¯s forces.


    ¡°The fight for Pirate Emperor has begun. Many neutral Pirate Kings aren¡¯t doing anything, but the Giant Shark King¡¯s and the Dark Dragon King¡¯s forces have come out¡­.¡± the Cold Moon King started to speak.


    Zhao Feng knew that the Cold Moon King was telling him the situation within the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land.


    Each of the three major Pirate Kings had their own forces, and there were some strong Pirate Kings that were neutral.


    In actuality, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t really interested in the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance because only true pirates could obtain it. However, he wanted to increase his strength from actual combat, and he wanted to strengthen the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    All of the Pirate Kings were experienced fighters and had slain many people. With such foes, he would meet many formidable enemies.


    The Cold Moon King started to summarize the history and rules of the fight for Pirate Emperor, and Zhao Feng¡¯s expression finally started to change. He suddenly realized that he may have underestimated the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance.

 699 Creating a Domain

    When one mentioned the Pirate Emperor, all the pirates in the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land would give a thumbs-up, and their admiration and respect came from the bottom of their hearts. This included the cannon fodder pirates all the way up to the Pirate Kings.


    The first Pirate Emperor could be considered a true legend.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor wasn¡¯t just a peak-stage Void God Realm Emperor, he was also a Mechanisms Grandmaster, an Array Grandmaster, and someone who specialized in spatial secret techniques. He was a great all-rounder¡­.¡± a rare sign of admiration appeared on the Cold Moon King¡¯s face.


    In that era, the Pirate Emperor¡¯s strength was supreme, and he was extremely charming.


    Apparently, many young misses of the Floating Dream Sacred Land super-families were tricked or charmed by him. One had to know that the strength of these super-families were close to a three-star superpower, and in the past, they had Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    In the beginning, the Pirate Emperor wasn¡¯t a pirate, he was a Mechanisms Master. Specifically, he was a tomb raider.


    Zhao Feng could imagine that a Mechanisms Master would find it extremely easy to be a tomb raider.


    The Pirate Emperor was very lucky and uncovered many ancient ruins. After dozens of years, his mastery of mechanisms had reached the Grandmaster level, and he also started specializing in spatial secret techniques, uncovering a few forgotten realms. Apparently, the Pirate Emperor even managed to dig out a realm left behind by the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race, a race ranked in the top three of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    If the Ancient Race was said to have the most perfect bloodline and unparalleled strength, then the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race had the highest amount of intelligence.


    Hearing up to here, Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook.


    After doing well as a tomb raider, the Pirate Emperor¡¯s strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he became a powerful all-rounder. With his increase in strength, he took up the occupation of a pirate and eventually became the Pirate Emperor.


    ¡°In that era, the Pirate Emperor was god. He even destroyed several two-star sects, including a peak two-star sect.¡±


    ¡°The magnificent Pirate Emperor pushed the pirates of the limitless ocean into a glorious era.¡±


    ¡°The wealth he saved up was dozens of times ¨C if not more than a hundred times ¨C wealthier than normal Emperors.¡±


    Some pirates in the hall started to discuss in excited tones. They all cared about the Pirate Emperor¡¯s treasures very much. Some even claimed that the Pirate Emperor¡¯s wealth was comparable to the three-star superpower of the Floating Dream Sacred Land.


    But all of that was hidden in history.


    Only when the fight for Pirate Emperor that happened every three hundred years appeared was the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land able open.


    ¡°If the Pirate Emperor was so strong and undefeatable, how did he die?¡± a sudden voice interrupted the fiery-hot passion of the pirates. This voice came from Zhao Feng, and the hall became dead-silent.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor died to a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord from the Floating Dream Sacred Land.¡±


    The emotions of the pirates fell.


    Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord ¨C this was a level that had surpassed Emperors, and it was just one step away from the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    A rare light flashed through the child Demigod¡¯s eyes. He still had a slight impression of this. He even knew the Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord, and he knew about the Pirate Emperor¡¯s miracles, but the Demigod Kun Yun was stronger than normal Sacred Lords since he was half a step into the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor was critically injured by the Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord, but he managed to escape by using a secret item from the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance, then he created his own inheritance before he died,¡± the Cold Moon King murmured.


    When he heard that, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    The strength of a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord was just too great. Both the Wind Lightning Emperor and the Pirate Emperor were legends, but in the end, they attracted too much attention and caused a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord to attack them.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, all the Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords in the Cang Ocean were mainly in seclusion in order to prepare for the God Tribulation. If there wasn¡¯t any need to, they wouldn¡¯t do anything in the outside world. The only thing that interested them was the domain of Gods ¨C the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    Zhao Feng had stayed in the Mystic True Sacred Clan for a while, but he never saw the Grand Elder before.


    Of course, the fact that the Wind Lightning Emperor and the Pirate Emperor could attract Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords to attack them showed how terrifying their battle-power was.


    However, another question popped up in Zhao Feng¡¯s head ¨C why hadn¡¯t any other Emperors ever tried to forcefully take the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance? Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords might be too disdainful of doing so, but some two-star sects and Emperors should be interested.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor¡¯s plan is magnificent. He was an array and a mechanisms Grandmaster and he received the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Inheritance. Only pirates can inherit his fortune.¡±


    ¡°Any Emperors from outside that try to enter the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land will be injured. A thousand years ago, an Emperor was even killed from it.¡±


    ¡°Once the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land faces power that surpasses the level of Emperors, it will crumble, and even Sacred Lords would be wary of the self-destruction.¡±


    Everyone started to speak at once, revealing the reason.


    All in all, over the past dozens of millennia, only the pirates of the Eighteen Corners were able to inherit some of the Pirate Emperor¡¯s wealth or inheritance. Furthermore, as the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land became weaker, the experts of the other Sacred Lands didn¡¯t pay as much attention anymore.


    Another reason was that, when the Pirate Emperor Inheritance Sacred Land opened, there would be a test that would reward the person according to their ability. The resources and inheritances that had been rewarded from the test weren¡¯t very shocking, and they weren¡¯t enough to attract the top Emperors.


    Of course, another reason the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance was so attractive was due to something else ¨C anyone that inherited the Pirate Emperor¡¯s inheritance would be able to become a Void God Realm Emperor within ten years, and if one was already a normal Emperor, they would become a peak Emperor. This was extremely attractive to the Pirate Kings.


    ¡°Interesting,¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but become slightly interested in the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance.


    The fight for the throne of Pirate Emperor had its own rules.


    Firstly, at least nine of the eighteen Pirate King Tokens needed to be gathered to open and enter the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land.


    The Pirate King Tokens couldn¡¯t be removed from the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land. This was set up by the Pirate Emperor, and if this law was gone against, it would be the same as going against the power of Heaven and Earth in the Eighteen Corners Canyon.


    Furthermore, only the eighteen Pirate King legendary ships were able to enter the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land. Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but remember his ghost ship and how it merged with the aura of the Pirate King Token and was now unable to leave the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land. This meant that he had to participate in the fight for Pirate Emperor.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, get used to the environment and integrate your pirate ship into our fleet,¡± the Cold Moon King ordered. Zhao Feng nodded his head, then left the hall and headed toward his ghost ship.


    Currently, he didn¡¯t need to fight. All he needed to do right now was get used to the environment and integrate into the Cold Moon King¡¯s forces.


    Including herself and Zhao Feng, the Cold Moon King now had a total of four Kings and three Pirate King Tokens. However, this wasn¡¯t enough; she needed nine Pirate King Tokens to open and enter the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance Sacred Land. Therefore, there was still a massive battle ahead of them.


    On the ghost ship, Zhao Feng relayed the information to the skeletal Division Leader and told it what the Cold Moon King had said about the ship. Zhao Feng also gave the skeletal Division Leader a bunch of resources to strengthen its bones and increase its cultivation. Zhao Feng had just slain a Domain-level King not long ago, so he was very rich and feeling generous.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng sat down and started to recall the fight with Lord Dark Snake and the Cold Moon King.


    The reason he was able to kill Lord Dark Snake was because of the child Demigod¡¯s help. After all, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t use his eye-bloodline easily.


    ¡°Without my eye-bloodline, I can only manage to defend myself against a Domain-level King. The chance of actually winning is low,¡± Zhao Feng concluded. As for a Peak-tier King, his chance of winning wasn¡¯t high even if he did use his eye-bloodline.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts started to spin. The main difference between a Domain-level King and himself was a spatial domain.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­ I¡¯ll also create a spatial domain,¡± a light flashed through Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    He knew a bit about spatial domains, and he had seen Duanmu Qing¡¯s Little World. The Little World that Duanmu Qing had was real, and it was of high quality. Even Zhao Yufei was able to refine the Purple Saint Ruins into a Little World with the help of Duanmu Qing.


    ¡°The domain of normal Kings aren¡¯t corporeal, which shouldn¡¯t be too hard for me,¡± Zhao Feng was confident because his talent was Soul-based, and he specialized in illusions. He had created the Illusion Maze long ago, a wide-area spatial illusion, and a spatial domain was just forming a dimension through Intent.


    ¡°¡­but what element should I merge into the spatial domain?¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think. Right now, he had several options:


    One; use the eye-bloodline and upgrade the Illusion Maze into a spatial domain.


    Two; create a Wind Lightning Domain. This would require the Intent of Wind Lightning to form a spatial domain, and Zhao Feng guessed that this would take more time.


    Three; create an Water Ice Domain using the power of his Water and Ice bloodlines. Zhao Feng guessed that such a domain would specialize in defense since that was the specialty of his bloodline.


    After some thinking, Zhao Feng decided to create an Illusion Maze Domain.


    ¡°This spatial domain will utilize the advantage of my soul-talent. What¡¯s more important is that it can increase my total strength very quickly,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    For the next two days, he entered seclusion to upgrade his Illusion Maze. In his purple Soul Sea, Zhao Feng split his thoughts into several dozen and started to imagine how the domain would look.


    A city of mazes started to form in his mind. The complete city was more than a hundred miles wide, and anyone caught inside would be unable to escape.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng poured in a lot of his soul-power, and the outline of the city became clearer.


    In the past, the Illusion Maze city was just an illusion, but now it had signs of materializing. The Illusion Maze was formed from Zhao Feng¡¯s Intent, and it had fused with his power.


    At some point, the outline of a misty city started to appear around the ghost ship. At the beginning, this image was transparent, but a source of Magnificent Power started surging from it.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on¡­?¡± the skeletal Division Leader realized that it had entered a half-transparent Illusion Maze.


    ¡°That was way too fast,¡± the child Demigod clicked his tongue. Zhao Feng had already managed to form a spatial domain with the Soul element so quickly.


    ¡°This is called talent,¡± Zhao Feng also felt incredulous. Forming a Soul-based spatial domain seemed instinctual for Zhao Feng.

 700 Battle

    The child Demigod looked at the misty Illusion Maze, which seemed to superimpose onto Heaven and Earth. This level of spatial domain was nothing in his eyes, but it was hard to find anyone that could form a spatial domain so quickly.


    There were a lot of requirements even for real Void God Realm Kings, such as soul-strength, mental energy level, and understanding of Space. All in all, because of the difficulty of the requirements, unless one was like Nan Gongsheng and had a Spatial Spiritual Body and specialized in Space techniques, they wouldn¡¯t be able to form a spatial domain so quickly. Zhao Yufei was only able to create her own Little World with the help of a peak Emperor and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit becoming the core Intent of the world.


    Maybe this is the talent of Zhao Feng¡¯s Soul eye-bloodline. His soul-strength and comprehension of Space have both met the requirements, the child Demigod murmured in his heart. Even he couldn¡¯t form a spatial domain right now since he still hadn¡¯t met the requirements, but if he could get the Demigod Intent¡­


    Over the next two days, the outline of the Illusion Maze started to become clearer, and Zhao Feng¡¯s spatial domain only enveloped the ghost ship.


    The skeletal Division Leader couldn¡¯t distinguish what was real and what was fake. Only the child Demigod could see that this Illusion Maze was a shadow-image that existed between reality and transparency.


    Shua!


    With a thought, Zhao Feng put the small Illusion Maze Domain away.


    ¡°Once I use my Illusion Maze Domain, the minds of any enemies that get near me will become lost, and my every punch and kick in this domain will form illusionary powers of the Soul Dao that will weaken the opponent¡¯s battle-strength,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he analyzed the power of the Illusion Maze Domain.


    Soul Dao Domains were very rare; not many Kings could form one. With this Illusion Maze Domain, Zhao Feng had the ability to challenge several Kings at once. If the strength of the opponents¡¯ souls were weaker or on the same level as his, they would be affected by the Illusion Maze Domain, and adding on his agile Wings of Wind and Lightning, he could spar with several normal Kings at once.


    In his Soul Sea, Zhao Feng continued perfecting his Illusion Maze Domain. Within ten days, the details of the images within the spatial domain became a lot clearer.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng took the little thieving cat and entered the Illusion Maze Domain.


    The mist within the Illusion Maze was extremely thick, and one couldn¡¯t see past a couple dozen meters. There were twists and turns everywhere, and the songs of mermaids could be heard as well.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat meowed as it found a hotel in the city. Of course, everyone within the hotel was fake.


    ¡°If I reach the peak Void God Realm, everything here can become real,¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but murmur.


    If he could materialize his spatial domain, that would mean that he had the ability to split open space. No wonder Duanmu Qing said that this power wasn¡¯t very far away from Zhao Feng.


    The reason why Zhao Feng took the little thieving cat here was to see if it could find any weak points. Since he had only just created it, there might have been things that he had forgotten.


    Luckily, the spatial domain¡¯s current structure was relatively simple and there weren¡¯t many weak spots. It wasn¡¯t a true dimension, so there were no living or actual physical objects here. The further one progressed, the more complicated it became, and it would be easier to make mistakes, such as the Purple Saint Ruins. Zhao Feng believed that even the Demigod Forgotten Garden had some weak points, such as Meng Xi¡¯s horn that could control that Beast King.


    ¡°Master, your Illusion Maze Domain is not weaker than the domain of normal Domain-level Kings,¡± the child Demigod also came in and inspected it, giving Zhao Feng some suggestions. In return, Zhao Feng would compensate the child Demigod with resources.


    As long as the child Demigod helped Zhao Feng¡¯s strength increase in any way, he would receive resources in return. This was to increase the child Demigod¡¯s enthusiasm because, under normal situations, Zhao Feng restricted the amount of resources given to the child Demigod.


    Zhao Feng still wasn¡¯t satisfied after completing the Illusion Maze Domain.


    ¡°The Illusion Maze Domain is a Soul Dao domain. If I don¡¯t use it efficiently, the danger from the Pursuit of Death will increase,¡± Zhao Feng knew that he shouldn¡¯t easily use this Illusion Maze Domain, so he started to think about other domains ¨C the Wind Lightning Domain and the Water Ice Domain. Now that he had already started to finish up his Illusion Maze Domain, there was no harm in testing out the other domains.


    ¡°Multiple Domains?¡± the expression of the child Demigod was extremely colorful when he heard about Zhao Feng¡¯s plans. Zhao Feng was extremely greedy; he wasn¡¯t even an actual King yet and he had already formed a spatial domain. That alone would make others envious, yet he wasn¡¯t satisfied with just one and wanted to create a second spatial domain?


    ¡°In theory, it is possible for multiple domains to exist together, but not many Kings and Emperors do so,¡± the child Demigod shook his head. Creating a spatial domain took a lot of time and effort, and normal Kings didn¡¯t even have one. When they did finally make one, they wouldn¡¯t have the ability or energy to create another.


    Specialization was the road to the peak. All Void God Realm Kings knew this, so they would walk further along one direction. For example, although several domains may have an advantage in number, it was useless against higher-ranked domains or the Little Worlds of Emperors. Quality was better than quantity.


    ¡°So that means that I can create a double domain?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression stayed the same, as if he didn¡¯t understand. The child Demigod rolled his eyes and didn¡¯t bother explaining.


    In reality, how could Zhao Feng not know the theory behind specialization? However, he was talented in creating spatial domains, and an extra spatial domain meant more strength. Why wouldn¡¯t he want more? Furthermore, he couldn¡¯t use his Illusion Maze Domain easily.


    ¡°I¡¯ll choose the Wind Lightning Domain as my second one,¡± Zhao Feng decided.


    The Illusion Maze Domain could trick the opponent and weaken them, but it wouldn¡¯t be able to increase Zhao Feng¡¯s actual offensive strength. The Wind Lightning Domain would be different; it would directly increase Zhao Feng¡¯s strength.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng had a terrifying thought, which was to make the power of the God Tribulation Lightning act as the center of the spatial domain. The God Tribulation Lightning contained an immortal and undying Intent. Making it the core of the spatial domain would make it stronger and more stable than others.


    Over the next few days, under the weird gaze of the child Demigod, Zhao Feng started to create the Wind Lightning Domain, but it was much harder than before.


    The reason Zhao Feng could create the Illusion Maze Domain so quickly was because he was extremely talented in the Dao of the Soul, and he already had the Illusion Maze as a foundation. The Wind Lightning Domain wasn¡¯t a Soul Dao Domain, and he had to create an entirely new domain with the Intent of his Wind Lightning.


    ¡°This will be more than ten times harder than before,¡± Zhao Feng felt slightly troubled, but he didn¡¯t give up. He had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, so he had a massive advantage in terms of creating spatial domains.


    Over the next couple days, only the blurry outline of a Wind Lightning Domain formed in Zhao Feng¡¯s Soul Sea, and it was far from forming. At the same time, he multi-tasked and continued absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning, but he couldn¡¯t expend all his energy, so he took some time off once in a while.


    One day, Zhao Feng was comprehending the wisp of God Tribulation Lightning and merging it into his Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning when the ghost ship suddenly started to shake, and waves roared outside the ghost ship.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes.


    ¡°Master, our ship is alongside the Cold Moon King¡¯s ships and fighting against another Pirate King,¡± the skeletal Division Leader said.


    Seven or eight pirate ships were fighting on the ocean.


    The leader from Zhao Feng¡¯s side was the Domain-level King with golden hair. Including Zhao Feng¡¯s ship, they had a total of four pirate ships. The Cold Moon King and her ships weren¡¯t here.


    On the other side was a rusty metallic ship several hundred meters long surrounded by other ships. On the rusty metallic ship stood a Pirate King covered in heavy armor, only revealing a pair of cold eyes.


    Zhao Feng could sense that this metallic Pirate King had a Pirate King Token, making him one of the Eighteen Corners Pirate Kings.


    ¡°Want to make me your subordinate? Only if the Cold Moon King lets me fuck her,¡± the metallic Pirate King¡¯s voice was deep.


    ¡°Preposterous!¡±


    ¡°This bastard doesn¡¯t know what shamelessness is.¡±


    The pirates on the golden-haired male¡¯s side were angered. The Cold Moon King was the goddess in their hearts, and many had come to her side due to her charm.


    ¡°Metal Turtle King, it seems like you won¡¯t join our side,¡± the expression of the golden-haired male was cold.


    The Metal Turtle King¡¯s reaction was unusual. Normal Pirate Kings wouldn¡¯t dare to offend the Cold Moon King like this, so the golden-haired male was suspicious that the Metallic Turtle King had already joined one of the other two major forces.


    ¡°¡¯Metal Turtle King!?¡¯ You¡¯re courting death!¡± the Metal Turtle King roared in anger. It was obvious he hated this ¡°title.¡± He specialized in defense like a turtle, and he was extremely troublesome to fight. Excluding the three major Pirate Kings, his defense was almost unparalleled.


    ¡°Fight!¡±


    Being a Domain-level King, the golden-haired male wasn¡¯t scared, so he ordered a charge against the Metal Turtle King¡¯s warship.


    ¡°You dare to fight me?¡± a weird light flashed across the Metal Turtle King¡¯s eyes. His metal ships had terrifying power and strong defense. Normal Pirate Kings didn¡¯t want to fight him.


    Shua! Shua!


    In a flash, the two Domain-level Kings started to clash in the air, creating loud explosions.


    Peng! Peng! Bam!


    At the same time, several metallic ships started to charge over.


    ¡°Master, the situation¡¯s not looking too good!¡± the skeletal Division Leader exclaimed. Amidst the roaring waves, the ghost ship was shaking and almost flipped over.

 701 Testing

    Compared to the other legendary ships of the Pirate Sacred Land, the ghost ship was small. The only satisfactory thing about it was its speed.


    The size of the enemy¡¯s metallic ships were enormous, and they had powerful charging force. Before they even arrived, the waves were already shaking the ghost ship.


    ¡°Our ship probably won¡¯t be able to withstand their charge,¡± the child Demigod said in a low voice.


    Zhao Feng then spoke to the skeletal Division Leader, ¡°Leave the other ships and attack from long range.¡±


    Whoosh!


    The ghost ship instantly flew through the air in an attempt to avoid the shockwaves from the clash of the two Domain-level Kings.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The ships below started to clash, and the pirates started to fight.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I¡¯m relying on you. I¡¯ll hold the Metallic Turtle King back,¡± the golden-haired male messaged while fighting above.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    The reason the golden-haired male dared to fight with the Metallic Turtle King was because he had Zhao Feng, a new Pirate King, on his side, and the Metallic Turtle King didn¡¯t seem to know.


    Sou!


    The ghost ship was extremely agile as it descended from the air and unleashed the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, which attacked the Metallic Turtle King from the other direction. The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array formed countless tentacles made of dark smoke as it attacked.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    When any normal pirate touched the ghost-corpse smoke, they would turn into a puddle of blood, and their essence and soul would be absorbed by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array would then become stronger as it devoured the blood and essence of these pirates.


    After absorbing such a large amount of meat from the Ancient Dream Realm, the ghost-corpses¡¯ potential had increased dramatically.


    ¡°Golden Emperor¡¯s Fist!¡± the child Demigod used his three-year-old body to launch an attack on some pirates. Those below the Void God Realm didn¡¯t have the ability to fight back at all against the child Demigod.


    ¡°Kill~~~~!¡± the skeletal Division Leader was like a reaper of blood and flesh. No one was able to stop it.


    Although the ghost ship wasn¡¯t very big, it was extremely agile, and all the pirates were scared.


    Two half-step Kings led a group of experts and tried to charge into the ghost ship to kill the array handler, but none of them survived. Instead, they became food for the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    The situation below made the expression of the Metallic Turtle King change, and his eyebrows locked together. He had heard that a new Pirate King had joined the Cold Moon King, but his Divine Sense didn¡¯t find any other Void God Realm King in the enemies¡¯ ships.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Wind Flash!¡±


    A beam of light flashed across the sky.


    So fast! the expression of the Metallic Turtle King changed. In the blink of an eye, the owner of the wings had arrived.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Whirlwind!¡±


    Zhao Feng summoned a Scarlet Destruction Whirlwind as he charged into the Metallic Turtle King¡¯s spatial domain, which was a metallic zone of darkness.


    Ding! Ding! Peng! Peng!


    All the attacks that entered the Metallic Turtle King¡¯s spatial domain seemed to be stopped by a giant metal wall.


    Boom!


    Under the burning whirlwind, the Metallic Turtle King¡¯s figure was forced back dozens of meters as sparks flew from his armor.


    ¡°What powerful defense. As expected of someone named the Metallic Turtle King,¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. The Scarlet Destruction Whirlwind he created was able to severely injure normal Kings, but it did nothing to the Metallic Turtle King.


    ¡°Golden Ring Domain!¡± countless golden rings started to appear around the golden-haired male and formed a spatial domain. These golden rings were extremely eye-catching as they continuously rotated, creating sparks that flew everywhere as they clashed against the Metallic Turtle King¡¯s domain.


    Let me try my Illusion Maze Domain, Zhao Feng thought. The Metallic Turtle King¡¯s defense was extremely strong, so he could act as a whetstone for Zhao Feng.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s King Intent suddenly moved, and a dreamy and misty illusionary city seemed to merge into the sky. As it was a Soul Dao domain, the domain of the other two Kings didn¡¯t really affect Zhao Feng¡¯s Illusion Maze Domain.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± the Metallic Turtle King¡¯s heart shook, and he felt as if he was in a maze full of mist. He was unable to see the golden-haired male¡¯s or Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks ¨C the Illusion Maze Domain had blocked his senses.


    ¡°It¡¯s a rare Soul Dao Domain,¡± the golden-haired male was slightly surprised, but he didn¡¯t relent his attacks.


    ¡°Restrict!¡± the golden-haired male¡¯s spatial domain released dazzling golden rings along with arcs of lightning that trapped the Metallic Turtle King. Under normal situations where the two spatial domains clashed against each other, it was hard for him to trap the Metallic Turtle King, but now it could with Zhao Feng¡¯s help.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng quickly put away the Illusion Maze Domain and condensed a Scarlet Destruction Blade in his hand, which released a scorching aura as it slashed toward the head of the Metallic Turtle King.


    Boom!


    The Metallic Turtle King screamed as a faint gash was left on his helmet, and the burning effect of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning started to erode into his body. At the same time, the golden-haired male circulated the golden rings, which started to spin around the Metallic Turtle King like sharp blades.


    The Metallic Turtle King was instantly put on the defensive, and Zhao Feng only used his domain for a breath or two before putting it away.


    ¡°Break!¡± the Metallic Turtle King roared as his metallic domain released countless metal walls that pushed away the restrictions of the golden-haired male.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning flapped as he dodged the counterattack of the spatial domain. The golden-haired male was pushed back, and he didn¡¯t understand why Zhao Feng didn¡¯t continue using the Illusion Maze Domain.


    Zhao Feng silently formed another Scarlet Destruction Whirlwind, but this time, there was a wisp of undying and immortal God Tribulation Lightning in the middle.


    ¡°Go,¡± the whirlwind entered the flaws of the Metallic Turtle King after he used his spatial domain, and it perfectly dove straight in. The Metallic Turtle King let out a breath after escaping the restrictions, and he didn¡¯t put the Scarlet Destruction Whirlwind in his eyes.


    Bam!


    The Scarlet Destruction Whirlwind had a different aura than before.


    ¡°What-!?¡± the Metallic Turtle King¡¯s metallic domain started to shatter, and the aura of Destruction eroded his body. At this moment, the Metallic Turtle King¡¯s face was as white as paper, and his eyes looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief. Blood leaked from his mouth, and the golden-haired male also paused.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attack just now had critically injured the Metallic Turtle King by entering through his flaw. The Metallic Turtle King¡¯s defense was amongst the top of the Eighteen Corners Pirate Kings, and even a Domain-level King working together with three normal Kings couldn¡¯t severely injure him.


    The golden-haired male didn¡¯t know that the actual reason why Zhao Feng could severely injure the Metallic Turtle King in one blow wasn¡¯t because the attack entered his flaw, but because of the God Tribulation Lightning. Just a wisp of it increased Zhao Feng¡¯s powers to an entirely new level.


    ¡°Not bad,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head. He tried out the Illusion Maze Domain and the power of the God Tribulation Lightning against the Metallic Turtle King.


    If he had continued using the Illusion Maze Domain for a while longer, the Metallic Turtle King would¡¯ve probably died already, and the power of the God Tribulation Lightning was even more shocking. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the Metallic Turtle King specialized in defense, he would¡¯ve died just now.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, Metallic Turtle King, a day like this can happen even to you?¡± the golden-haired male didn¡¯t think too much about it. He used his spatial domain to keep on attacking the Metallic Turtle King. Zhao Feng also used his Wings of Wind and Lightning and unleashed attacks toward the Metallic Turtle King.


    The Metallic Turtle King gave the order to retreat. As he retreated, the Metallic Turtle King was extremely wary of Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks and focused on defending against him. However, after his tests, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use the power of the God Tribulation Lightning or the Illusion Maze Domain.


    Pa!


    Zhao Feng used the Wings of Wind and Lightning to chase the Metallic Turtle King closely.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning!¡± Zhao Feng sent out a fist that formed a layer of wind and lightning in the air. The lightning hummed and the wind roared.


    ¡°What!? He created the outline of a second domain?¡± both the golden-haired male and the Metallic Turtle King were shocked. Zhao Feng already had a perfect Dao Soul Domain, and now his attacks contained the outline of a Wind Lightning Domain?


    The Wind Lightning Domain is just a blurry domain that can only increase my battle-power by 10%, Zhao Feng murmured in his heart. Currently, he wanted to sharpen his Wind Lightning Domain by using it on the Metallic Turtle King.


    ¡°If I combine my spatial domains, normal Domain-level Kings probably won¡¯t be my match,¡± Zhao Feng was extremely excited, but right now, he had only just created the outlines of the Wind Lightning Domain. Since he didn¡¯t have an already-existing technique to base the domain on, it was a bit harder for him, and he would probably need a couple more months, but that was already incredible for normal Kings.


    One had to know that the soul, Intent, enlightenment, and understanding of Space of normal Kings were all factors that could result in a bottleneck lasting several hundred years.


    ¡°Run!¡± the Metallic Turtle King glanced at Zhao Feng deeply before giving the order. He could tell that Zhao Feng was only using him as a whetstone.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is still holding back,¡± the golden-haired male¡¯s eyebrows locked together, and he was slightly unhappy during the pursuit. If Zhao Feng was a bit more serious, they could possibly kill the Metallic Turtle King.


    The two continued chasing, and they caused the Metallic Turtle King to scream. During their chase, Zhao Feng tried using his Wind Lightning techniques in order to create his Wind Lightning Domain through actual combat.


    At the moment, the fight below was also one-sided. The ghost ship was slaying everyone in its path and devouring the essence of many pirates.


    ¡°Great! Some of the ghost-corpses have reached the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm,¡± the skeletal Division Leader was excited as it watched the growth of the ghost-corpses.


    The battle was already decided, and the child Demigod was able to recover some of his bloodline power.


    Right as the golden-haired male and Zhao Feng were chasing the Metallic Turtle King:


    ¡°Sirs, the situation isn¡¯t good! The Cold Moon King has met the Dark Dragon King and was ambushed!¡± a green light quickly flew over.


    ¡°Dark Dragon King!¡± the expression of the golden-haired male changed, and he didn¡¯t bother with chasing the Metallic Turtle King anymore.


    The Metallic Turtle King was severely injured, and he wouldn¡¯t be able to recover his full battle-power within a short amount of time, so he didn¡¯t pose much of a threat anymore.


    Zhao Feng looked slightly regretful as the Metallic Turtle King ran away. Although Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t gone all-out, he wanted to slowly grind down the Metallic Turtle King and then kill him with the Sky Locking Bow at the critical moment.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we¡¯re going to help the Cold Moon King. Please be more serious in the coming battle,¡± the golden-haired male¡¯s voice was filled with solemnness and a hint of begging.

 702 Slaying Kings Continuously

    ¡°Zhao Feng, we¡¯re going to help the Cold Moon King. Please be more serious in the coming battle.¡±


    What the golden-haired male said made Zhao Feng nod his head awkwardly. In the fight just now, he was merely testing out his skills and figuring out how to use his spatial domain and his God Lightning Tribulation Intent instead of focusing on actually killing the opponent, otherwise their combined force had a 70-80% chance of slaying the Metallic Turtle King.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go rescue the Cold Moon King,¡± the golden-haired male turned into a streak of golden light and flew toward her location.


    Shua!


    A pair of Wings of Wind and Lightning fluttered behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back, and he instantly caught up with the golden-haired male.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re faster. Go rescue the Cold Moon King first,¡± the golden-haired male said urgently. Although he smiled and acted confident around the Cold Moon King, he loved her from the bottom of his heart, and he knew that Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning Inheritance gave him speed greater than his own.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Zhao Feng glanced deeply toward the golden-haired male with respect. Because of his sincerity and slight begging, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t disappoint the golden-haired male. Although Zhao Feng had only just joined the Cold Moon King¡¯s forces, he would give her the support she needed.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Wind Flash!¡±


    An arc of lightning flashed across the limitless ocean, easily surpassing the golden-haired male.


    So fast!


    The golden-haired male was overjoyed. Even though he was a Domain-level King, Zhao Feng¡¯s speed was way faster than his.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, it¡¯s up to you¡­.¡± the golden-haired male looked at the beam of light that was travelling further and further away.


    Dozens of thousands of miles away, where ships of different sizes were fighting on the limitless ocean:


    ¡°Cold Moon King, let¡¯s see how much longer you can last,¡± a dominating and poisonous voice resounded across Heaven and Earth as Magnificent Powers clashed.


    In the air above the limitless ocean, the Cold Moon King¡¯s perfect figure sent out cold sword-beams like moonlight, forming ice-cold whirlwinds. The whirlwind of swords and blades covered everything within ten miles, ripping everything into shreds while blocking the enemy¡¯s attacks at the same time.


    A bulky and muscular male in dark armor held a halberd and slashed out brilliant arcs. Every time the halberd moved, dark domain-level flames erupted like volcanoes.


    ¡°The Dark Dragon King is unparalleled. He shall conquer the Eighteen Corners!¡± cheers came from the pirates below.


    The Dark Dragon King¡¯s bloodline and body were unusual, and he used his halberd to suppress others by force.


    ¡°Cold Moon chick, obediently become the Dark Dragon King¡¯s mistress,¡± an elder in gray-robes waved a scarlet-golden whip and created countless shadow-images of dragons and snakes that swept toward the Cold Moon King¡¯s figure.


    This elder was a Domain-level King, and although his battle-power wasn¡¯t as great as the Cold Moon King¡¯s or the Dark Dragon King¡¯s, his scarlet-golden whip was extremely deadly, and he had a lot of experience in a support role.


    The Cold Moon King specialized in speed, swords, and blades. However, her speed was greatly restricted by the elder in gray clothes, and the Dark Dragon King had strong power. He also had a powerful bloodline inheritance that allowed him to dominate people with overwhelming force. The Cold Moon King would be at a big disadvantage if she had to keep clashing with the Dark Dragon King head-on.


    ¡°Hehe, Dark Dragon King, don¡¯t worry, the Cold Moon King won¡¯t be able to last very long. She¡¯s been hit by my Soft Poisonous God Odor, which affects the soul. Even Peak-tier Kings will fall for it if they aren¡¯t prepared against it,¡± the elder in gray clothes laughed, and he couldn¡¯t help but gulp as he looked at the Cold Moon King¡¯s perfect body.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on, my body¡­?¡± sweat started to appear on the Cold Moon King¡¯s forehead, and she felt a numbing sensation wash over her body.


    ¡°Bastard!¡± she roared. She managed to suppress the Soft Poisonous God Odor, but she spent quite a bit of energy to do so. In just the time it took the make tea, her breathing rate had increased.


    ¡°Cold Moon King!¡± the middle-aged long-bearded man below was full of worry.


    ¡°Hehe¡­ your opponent is me,¡± a charming purple-robed older lady in a revealing outfit appeared. Her cultivation had reached the middle-stage of the Void God Realm, and the outline of a spatial domain appeared around her.


    The middle-aged long-bearded man gritted his teeth. It was extremely troublesome for him to fight against the purple-robed female. He was always on the defensive, so he couldn¡¯t help the Cold Moon King.


    ¡°Long Beard, you should just give up. The Cold Moon King¡¯s been hit by the Soft Poisonous God Odor and will be captured alive by the Dark Dragon King within the time it takes to make tea. Hehe¡­ all the Pirate Kings have been looking forward to the Cold Moon King¡¯s beauty,¡± the purple-robed female used words to create more pressure, and flames seemed to pour out from the middle-aged long-bearded man.


    I¡¯ll wait till reinforcements arrive, so even if I lose, there will still be hope, Long Beard thought.


    ¡°Reinforcements?¡± the female in purple seemed to know what he was thinking and started to snicker, ¡°The Metallic Turtle King isn¡¯t easy to defeat. Even if your reinforcements arrive, it¡¯ll be too late.¡±


    Metallic Turtle King! the expression of the middle-aged long-bearded man changed dramatically. He didn¡¯t expect the Metallic Turtle King to have joined the Dark Dragon King.


    The battle continued, and the Cold Moon King¡¯s forces started to become disadvantaged. Putting aside the Void God Realm Kings, even their ships weren¡¯t as strong as the Dark Dragon King¡¯s.


    The Dark Dragon King had planned for a long time, and he brought out a lot of troops.


    Ding! Ding! Peng!


    The Cold Moon King waved her blade and sword as her perfect body flashed across the limitless ocean, but her movement was heavily restricted by the elder in gray clothes.


    Even worse was that the Soft Poisonous God Odor increased her consumption of energy, and she wasn¡¯t as agile or as fast as before. If it weren¡¯t for that, she could at least escape if she wasn¡¯t a match for them, but now the only way to escape was to wait for reinforcements.


    Half the time it took to make tea passed, and the breathing rate of the Cold Moon King increased dramatically. She was covered in sweat, and her limbs were going numb. There was a cut on her leg, revealing an attractive leg.


    ¡°I need to capture her alive,¡± the Dark Dragon King didn¡¯t hide any of his lust.


    It was only a matter of time till the Cold Moon King lost.


    Shua!


    An arc of lightning suddenly appeared far away.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!?¡± several Void God Realm Kings instantly sensed it.


    A pair of Wings and Wind and Lightning immediately closed in on the battlefield.


    ¡°The reinforcements are here!¡± the middle-aged long-bearded man exclaimed.


    The newcomer was Zhao Feng, and Long Beard was soon disappointed. After all, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t a Domain-level King, so even if he joined, he couldn¡¯t turn the tide.


    ¡°He¡¯s fast, but he¡¯s not even a King yet.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ another person coming to their death.¡±


    The Dark Dragon King¡¯s pirates all paused before roaring in laughter.


    Lightning Wings Wind Flash!


    Zhao Feng turned into a flash of light and entered the fray. He didn¡¯t immediately go help the Cold Moon King.


    Shua!


    The flash of light shot toward the female in purple, and the eyes of the middle-aged man lit up. If they were able to finish her off quickly, two King-level fighters could go support the Cold Moon King.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± the female in purple snickered coldly. She wouldn¡¯t let her opponent do as he pleased, and a faint purple light appeared around her. She had heard of this new Pirate King before, and even though he may have relied on luck to kill the Dark Snake King, he definitely had some skill. At the same time, the Dark Dragon King and the elder in gray clothes increased their attacking speed.


    ¡°Die!¡± Zhao Feng was faster than they imagined as he formed a Scarlet Destruction Blade in his hand and rushed at his opponent.


    The female in purple was full of mockery. She had already prepared the outline of her spatial domain. Want to finish me off quickly? Impossible! But the next instant, the mind of the female in purple shook, and she screamed.


    Illusion Maze Domain!


    A misty illusion filled the air, and the female in purple¡¯s senses were heavily restricted. She couldn¡¯t see where Zhao Feng was going to attack, and she revealed a flaw in her panic.


    Whoosh!


    A giant blade of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning entered the female in purple¡¯s flaw and sliced forward. No one managed to sense the immortal and undying aura of the God Tribulation Lightning from the blade.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡± the female in purple screamed as she was cut in two and turned into a pile of ashes from the burning Wind Lightning. The power of the Scarlet Destruction Blade was extremely condensed, and the intent of God Tribulation Lightning had been fused into it. Even the female¡¯s soul had been burned into nothing.


    ¡°What!!!?¡± the eyes of Long Beard bulged out as he saw the female in purple die.


    Just one move had killed a King. This caused the expressions of both friend and foe to change dramatically.


    ¡°How¡­!?¡± the Dark Dragon King and the elder in gray were also stunned.


    Shua!


    A flash of light sped toward the sky above the limitless ocean.


    So fast! the middle-aged long-bearded man had already lost track of Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t waste any time after slaying the female in purple as he turned straight toward the two Kings in the air. He was lightning quick as he went for the kill.


    ¡°Watch out!¡± the Dark Dragon King exclaimed. The beam of light was charging toward the elder in gray who was restricting the Cold Moon King.


    The heart of the elder in gray shook, and he felt a coldness spread across his body the instant he was ready.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Flying Technique!¡±


    The light released an arc of lightning that slashed toward the elder in gray.


    Too fast!


    Before the elder in gray could even react, his body was sliced in two by the Scarlet Destruction Lightning Wings.


    Not only did Zhao Feng use the Lightning Wings Flying Technique, he also used the Wind Lightning Wings Slash. The offensive techniques of the Wings of Wind and Lightning were faster, fiercer, and stronger. Furthermore, Zhao Feng had also merged the intent of the God Tribulation Lightning into his attack.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡± the elder in gray screamed as his physical body was destroyed. His Yuan Soul, in the shape of a faint golden human, sped off into the air with his King Intent. However, before he could even run out a couple dozens of yards, he felt a piercing coldness lock on to him.


    ¡°Sky Locking Bow!¡±


    A dark silver bow appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand. A golden arrow condensed and was released with a Beng~! as it shot through the sky.


    Boom!


    The golden arrow instantly pierced through the elder in gray¡¯s Yuan Soul.

 703 Combination

    With a loud explosion, the elder in gray¡¯s Yuan Soul burst into thousands of pieces.


    The Sky Locking Bow was a nightmare that perfectly countered Yuan Souls.


    Through the Dark Heart Seed, Zhao Feng communicated with the skeletal Division Leader and got the ghost ship to collect the broken soul and flesh of the dead King and make the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array absorb them.


    At this moment in time, both friend and foe were stunned. The expressions of the pirates on the Dark Dragon King¡¯s side were filled with fear as they looked at the youth with a pair of wings.


    Long Beard took in a cold breath. He saw the entire process clearly; Zhao Feng killed the female in purple in just one move and disappeared the very next instant. Before the elder in gray could even react, Zhao Feng used even-faster speed, the Lightning Wings Flying Technique, and the Wind Lightning Wings Slash to destroy his physical body, then before the elder¡¯s Yuan Soul could even fly, the Sky Locking Bow ended his life.


    The entire process happened in just a moment. The pirates on both sides felt an instant pass before the two Kings were slain. This lightning-quick battle caught those on the Dark Dragon King¡¯s side unawares.


    ¡°Brat¡­ it was you that killed my adoptive father!¡± the Dark Dragon King¡¯s purple eyes were filled with hatred and killing intent.


    The relationship between Lord Dark Snake and the Dark Dragon King was unusual. The Dark Dragon King was an orphan, and his bloodline and talent were discovered by Lord Dark Snake, who then raised him. The Dark Dragon King didn¡¯t disappoint him, and he became one of the strongest pirates of the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land several hundred years later.


    ¡°Sky Locking Bow!¡± Zhao Feng snickered coldly as he pulled back the Sky Locking Bow once more, and a second golden arrow shot toward the Dark Dragon King.


    Although the Dark Dragon King tried to dodge the attack, he was still hit. His spatial domain couldn¡¯t materialize yet, so it wasn¡¯t much use against the Sky Locking Bow.


    Whoosh!


    With a crack!, the golden arrow hit the Dark Dragon King¡¯s throat, but it shattered into pieces.


    ¡°What a strong body!¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be moved. The Dark Dragon King wasn¡¯t just a Peak-tier King, he also had an unusual bloodline.


    Right at that moment:


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ kill!¡± the middle-aged long-bearded man slaughtered dozens of pirates with his King-level battle-power. At the same moment, Zhao Feng unleashed a third arrow, which flashed through the air and pierced toward the Dark Dragon King¡¯s head.


    The Dark Dragon King roared, but he was still injured even though he used his domain and his bloodline.


    ¡°Unique Cold Moon Essence!¡± the Cold Moon King waved her sword and blade, sending an ice-cold beam of light that slashed onto the Dark Dragon King.


    Deng! Deng! Deng!


    The Dark Dragon King was pushed back, while small cracks and blood appeared on his armor.


    ¡°What terrifying offense!¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but cheer. Of the three major figurehead Pirates, the Cold Moon King had the fastest speed and the strongest offense.


    At this moment, the middle-aged long-bearded man also entered the fight. The Dark Dragon King had to fight three King-level experts at the same time.


    The Sky Locking Bow uses too much energy, Zhao Feng¡¯s dark silver bow disappeared and was replaced by a Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning whip that flashed across the air like a snake.


    Without any support, the Dark Dragon King was instantly at a disadvantage.


    ¡°Get ready to retreat!¡± the Dark Dragon King ordered.


    A while later:


    Whoosh!


    A golden glow of light and a Magnificent Power flew through the air. It was the golden-haired male.


    Another Domain-level King, the Dark Dragon King¡¯s face was grim, and he started to retreat into the depths of the limitless ocean with his remaining subordinates. Luckily for him, the Soft Poison God Smell had started to take effect, and the Cold Moon King was unable to chase him.


    Zhao Feng tried to pursue him.


    ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± the Dark Dragon King¡¯s halberd sent out a dark purple slash that was condensed from his domain.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng used his Wings of Wind and Lightning to dodge, but he was still injured from the overwhelming strength. The battle-power of a Peak-tier King was not to be underestimated. Zhao Feng had recognized the gap when he fought with the Cold Moon King. After all, he still hadn¡¯t become a King yet, so he lacked the foundation to fight a Peak-tier King.


    Sou!


    A ghost ship came from behind and started to devour the essence of the dead Kings.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, thank you,¡± a rare grateful expression appeared on the Cold Moon King¡¯s face, and she gave Zhao Feng the spoils of war from the two dead Kings. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t decline, while the golden-haired male clicked his tongue, ¡°Two Kings were slain by Zhao Feng?¡±


    When he arrived, the tide had already turned. He didn¡¯t expect Zhao Feng to be able to kill two Kings so quickly.


    The Cold Moon King¡¯s forces then started to counterattack and slaughtered the Dark Dragon King¡¯s forces. Since the Cold Moon King needed to get rid of the Soft Poisonous God Odor, she didn¡¯t continue to fight.


    After this battle, her name spread across the entire Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land, and the victory over another one of the major figureheads made her extremely famous. Within half a month, another Domain-level King and three normal Kings joined the Cold Moon King.


    The Cold Moon King¡¯s forces started to expand, and she now had four Pirate King Tokens. As long as they could gather five more, the Cold Moon King would be able to open the pirate Emperor Sacred Land.


    Her forces started to rapidly expand, and during this time, Zhao Feng returned to the ghost ship and started to enter a state of comprehension.


    After the fight, Zhao Feng¡¯s potential was released, and he gained further enlightenment.


    In the purple Soul Sea, Zhao Feng continued absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning. He now had two wisps of God Tribulation Lightning, but compared to the thousand-yard-wide Soul Sea, it was extremely small. However, the God Tribulation Lightning helped Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    On this day, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm again. He took a big gulp of the water, which only had a very small effect on his body and soul now.


    As long as the animals near the water weren¡¯t in groups, Zhao Feng could take care of them easily.


    ¡°My next goal is to enter the forest and scout it out,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes turned toward the forest opposite the grass.


    The forest would have stronger animals and maybe some fruits.


    The aura within the Ancient Dream Realm was extremely beneficial toward those at the True Lord Rank, so it could be foreseen that the effect of the fruits would be even stronger.


    Zhao Feng started to steadily head toward the forest. Of course, he didn¡¯t rush; he only went a certain distance every day since it wasn¡¯t safe in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    The forces of the Cold Moon King were fighting every day as they headed toward the center of the Pirate Sacred Land. There was the occasional small task that needed Zhao Feng, and the child Demigod and skeletal Division Leader were enough to handle most things.


    However, that still meant that Zhao Feng needed to give up on exploring the forest for now, so his main focus was on the Wind Lightning Inheritance and integrating the power of the God Tribulation Lightning into it.


    On a certain day, the Cold Moon King called for an emergency gathering.


    ¡°The forces of the Giant Shark King are closing in on our territory,¡± the middle-aged long-bearded man started to explain.


    The Giant Shark King was also one of the three major figureheads, and he was the strongest of the three.


    Zhao Feng knew a bit about this person. The Giant Shark King had the bloodline of ancient sharks, and he had great defenses and battle-power.


    At the beginning, his force was the strongest amongst the three major figureheads, but now that the Cold Moon King had defeated the Dark Dragon King, her forces were enough to fight head-on with the Giant Shark King.


    ¡°This battle will be extremely deadly, but as long as we win, we will become the leaders of the Eighteen Corners Sacred Land,¡± the Cold Moon King¡¯s gaze scanned around, and her voice was solemn but filled with battle-intent.


    ¡°Finish off the Giant Shark King and rule the Eighteen Corners Canyon!¡±


    ¡°The Dark Dragon King has already been defeated by me. Let¡¯s finish off the Giant Shark King as well.¡±


    Battle-intent surged from the middle-upper echelon of the pirates. Being pirates, which one of them wasn¡¯t bloodthirsty? If they wanted to live a peaceful life, they wouldn¡¯t have become pirates.


    Zhao Feng sat very close to the Cold Moon King, and his status was comparable to Domain-level Kings.


    The Cold Moon King started to organize her troops and made a plan to attack the Giant Shark King.


    ¡°Report!¡± a pirate quickly ran over and handed over a blade-shaped token.


    ¡°This was thrown over by the Giant Shark King¡¯s side,¡± the pirate said respectfully, and the Cold Moon King merged her Divine Sense into the blade-shaped token.


    Everyone¡¯s gazes locked on to the Cold Moon King, and her expression changed as she roared out, ¡°Ridiculous!¡±


    ¡°My Lord, what did the Giant Shark King say?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t bother with him. Let¡¯s fight!¡± the pirates roared.


    ¡°No, the Giant Shark King wants to team up with us,¡± the Cold Moon King had a solemn expression.


    Team up? The Giant Shark King suggested to team up?


    Most of the pirates didn¡¯t understand, while Zhao Feng started to think. With his strength, why would he need to team up with the Cold Moon King? Logically, the two sides should fight until only one survives.


    ¡°We have to agree to this suggestion,¡± the Cold Moon King took a deep breath, and everyone felt a solemn atmosphere. What made the Giant Shark King suggest to team up?


    ¡°The Giant Shark King¡¯s side has found out that the Dark Dragon King asked a Void God Realm Emperor to interfere in the battle for the Pirate Emperor¡¯s throne,¡± the Cold Moon King was full of cold intent. Hearing that, everyone was shocked.


    ¡°Utterly preposterous!¡±


    ¡°The Dark Dragon King dares to go against the Pirate Emperor¡¯s rules!?¡±


    Everyone started to sweat, and they were all extremely angry. Under normal situations, the Kings and Emperors wouldn¡¯t interfere in the fight for the Pirate Emperor since they couldn¡¯t enter the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land. Furthermore, this went against the rules of the Pirate Emperor.


    ¡°According to the rules of the Pirate Emperor, the Dark Dragon King¡¯s actions will mean that the entire Pirate Sacred Land will try to kill him.¡±


    ¡°No wonder the Giant Shark King wanted to team up with us.¡±


    All the pirates were furious.


    ¡°Void God Realm Emperor? The ranking of this fight has increased¡­.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows locked together.

 704 Emperor Mu Yun

    In the Eighteen Corners Canyon, the pirates were a big group, like their own country, and the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance was theirs. The fight for Pirate Emperor always forbade experts from outside, especially Void God Realms.


    Any outside Kings and Emperors wouldn¡¯t even be able to enter the Pirate Emperor Inheritance Sacred Land. Only true Pirate Kings would be able to gain any fortune from it. Therefore, Void God Realm experts generally wouldn¡¯t interfere since they got nothing out of it. Furthermore, it wouldn¡¯t be good for their name if they were to interact with a bunch of pirates.


    ¡°Which Emperor is it?¡± the pirates asked after a round of cursing.


    Although Emperors were all at the peak Void God Realm, they were still ranked. If it was a peak Emperor, then it would be troublesome, but peak Emperors usually wouldn¡¯t do stuff like this since they got nothing out of it.


    ¡°Apparently, it¡¯s Emperor Mu Yun,¡± the Cold Moon King said.


    Emperor Mu Yun? some of the pirates present had heard of this name while others hadn¡¯t.


    ¡°So, it¡¯s him. Emperor Mu Yun is a new Emperor that just broke through in the Ten Thousand Abyssal Islands Zone in the last hundred years. He has no force behind him,¡± the middle-aged long-bearded man murmured.


    Emperor Mu Yun hadn¡¯t joined any clan or sect, and he wasn¡¯t a part of the Righteous or the Wicked Path. It was understandable that he joined the Dark Dragon King.


    The atmosphere within the hall was solemn and silent. The pressure brought by an Emperor was huge. The souls of those at the peak Void God Realm had reached an incredible level, and their strength would be much greater than weaker Void God Realms, hence the distinction between Kings and Emperors.


    ¡°We need to team up with the Giant Shark King in order to have any hope of fighting against a Void God Realm Emperor,¡± the Cold Moon King sighed.


    The pirates in the middle-upper echelon within the hall didn¡¯t say anything. Although they might have enmities with the Giant Shark King¡¯s forces, that was an internal struggle, whereas this Emperor was an outside enemy.


    In the limitless ocean, the forces of the Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King were a couple hundred miles apart and slowly approaching each other.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King were dozens of meters in the air as they talked to one another.


    The Giant Shark King was even bigger than the Dark Dragon King, and there was a small horn on his forehead. The skin on his body seemed to be shell-like.


    ¡°The bloodline aura from the Giant Shark King is close to that of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races,¡± Zhao Feng inspected from far away. Of the three major figureheads, the Giant Shark King was the strongest.


    ¡°I received this news from my spies in the Dark Dragon King¡¯s forces. It¡¯s reliable,¡± the Giant Shark King said.


    To make sure it wasn¡¯t a trick, the Cold Moon King had ordered her subordinates to scout out the news.


    All three major figureheads had spies in each other¡¯s forces. It was hard to hide news about an outside Emperor joining.


    Half a day later, after confirming the legitimacy of the news, the Cold Moon King¡¯s heart dropped. That very day, the Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King formed an alliance and summoned the other Pirate Kings of the Eighteen Corners Sacred Land.


    The Dark Dragon King¡¯s actions were a type of betrayal to the Pirate Sacred Land.


    The Giant Shark King had two Domain-level Kings and five normal Kings, and he brought a total of four Pirate King Tokens with him.


    ¡°Now that the two of us have teamed up, we have eight Pirate King Tokens. We just need one more to open the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land.¡±


    The Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King started to discuss. Because of the outside threat, they had to team up, so they were able to easily gather eight Pirate King Tokens.


    ¡°It¡¯s not hard to get the last one,¡± the Giant Shark King smiled confidently.


    Over the next couple days, the elites of the Giant Shark King and the Cold Moon King started to head toward the depths of the Eighteen Corners Canyon, and many other pirates started to join them. The fact that the Giant Shark King and the Cold Moon King teamed up to face an outside foe won their hearts.


    In just two days¡¯ time, they had nine Pirate King Tokens amongst them, but they weren¡¯t satisfied.


    The Dark Dragon King¡¯s betrayal and the interference of a Void God Realm Emperor went against the rules of the Pirate Sacred Land, causing many pirates to join their alliance.


    On the seventh day after the Giant Shark King and the Cold Moon King formed their agreement, the tenth Pirate King Token joined the alliance.


    ¡°More people can enter the Sacred Land the more Pirate King Tokens we have.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s more important is that now we have ten, so even if the remaining eight are collected, they can¡¯t enter.¡±


    The Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King stood shoulder to shoulder next to each other.


    Now that they had received the tenth Pirate King Token, they had the advantage. If the Dark Dragon King and company wanted to enter the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land, they had to come to them.


    ¡°Let¡¯s head toward the center of the Eighteen Corners.¡±


    The group headed in the direction of the center of the Eighteen Corners Canyon.


    Each corner had a Pirate King guarding it, and the center of the Eighteen Corners was the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land.


    On the tenth day, the forces of the two major figureheads entered the center of the Eighteen Corners. They now had twelve Pirate Kings Tokens, seven Domain-level Kings, and almost twenty normal Kings. However, there were still only two Peak-tier Kings.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s ghost ship was extremely small in comparison to the other large ships.


    During the last ten days, Zhao Feng only occasionally went to some meetings, and he spent most of his time comprehending the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning and merging the God Tribulation Lightning into it. He also paid some attention to the top battle-powers in the pirate alliance.


    ¡°The very top battle-powers, such as Peak-tier Kings, are a bit lacking,¡± the child Demigod said. He was also watching the situation unfold.


    Normal Kings were most likely unable to threaten Void God Realm Emperors. Merely the shockwaves from the fight of an Emperor could endanger them. Only Peak-tier Kings and some elite Domain-level Kings could threaten Void God Realm Emperors, but the pirate alliance only had two Peak-tier Kings.


    ¡°We¡¯ve found the tracks of the Dark Dragon King¡¯s ship.¡±


    ¡°The Dark Dragon King¡¯s forces are waiting at the center of the Eighteen Corners.¡±


    News came from some pirates, and the forces of the pirate alliance finally stopped their advancement.


    At the very center of the Eighteen Corners was a cold black ship in the shape of a dragon. It was dead-silent, but it radiated an extremely dangerous aura. This ship was the Dark Dragon King¡¯s warship.


    ¡°The Dark Dragon King only sent one ship?¡±


    ¡°Zhe zhe, looks like all the Dark Dragon King¡¯s friends and family have left him.¡±


    Discussion broke out amongst the pirates.


    At least in terms of numbers, the pirate alliance had the advantage. However, the expressions of the Cold Moon King, the Giant Shark King, and some other Pirate Kings were solemn.


    The weakest person aboard the Dark Dragon Warship was at the Sovereign Lord Rank. Above that were half-step Kings and Void God Realm Kings. The Dark Dragon King had six Pirate King Tokens, and four of them were Domain-level Kings.


    It could be said that they were all elites. Therefore, the aura radiating from the Dark Dragon Warship was extremely terrifying, and it could wipe out several normal two-star sects. However, the most terrifying part was still the Void God Realm Emperor.


    Within a secret hall in the Dark Dragon Warship:


    ¡°Lord Mu Yun, everything¡¯s gone as expected. The Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King have gathered more than nine tokens, but they need to reach the center of the Eighteen Corners to open the Pirate Emperor Inheritance,¡± the Dark Dragon King said respectfully.


    Being a traitor, he knew it would be much more difficult to obtain Pirate King Tokens in comparison to the pirate alliance, but even then, he had successfully gathered some Pirate Kings and elites due to the fame of a Void God Realm Emperor.


    ¡°Relax, I will kill the Cold Moon King, the Giant Shark King, and the person who killed your adoptive father, but you need to do what you promised,¡± Emperor Mu Yun sat on a throne with a black-and-white robe.


    Sweat started to appear on the Dark Dragon King¡¯s forehead. He had paid a huge price to hire Emperor Mu Yun, and he promised even more rewards after he became the Pirate Emperor, otherwise, how could he have gotten Emperor Mu Yun?


    ¡°As long as I can become the Pirate Emperor and take revenge on the person who killed my adoptive father, everything will be worth it,¡± decisiveness appeared in the Dark Dragon King¡¯s eyes. He had no path to retreat now; Emperor Mu Yun was his only hope.


    Although their side had less Kings, no one doubted that a Void God Realm Emperor had the ability to turn the tide.


    ¡°My Lord, not good! The Cold Moon King and the Giant Sharp King have arrived!¡±


    Chaos broke out. The Giant Shark King and the Cold Moon King led seven Domain-level Kings and almost twenty normal Kings to surround the Dark Dragon King¡¯s warship.


    Surges of King Intent and Magnificent Power seemed to freeze the air.


    Within the Dark Dragon Warship, apart from Emperor Mu Yun, everyone else felt uneasy and unable to breathe. This number of Void God Realm Kings meant that almost all the pirates in the Pirate Sacred Land had arrived.


    Pirates didn¡¯t usually work together. Only during the fight for Pirate Emperor did others understand how strong this pirate kingdom was.


    ¡°Hehe, just a bunch of weaklings gathered together,¡± a faint laughter sounded from within the Dark Dragon Warship.


    Shua!


    A male in long black-and-white robes appeared in the air, and a surge of Imperial Power spread across several hundred miles and covered the sky in a dark red haze. The sun and moon seemed to be blocked, and the environment seemed to twist. It was as if a hand had blotted out the sky.


    Boom!


    The limitless ocean and the soul-dimension started to shake, and the hearts of all the Kings present shook.


    The Magnificent Power of normal Kings started to shatter in front of the Emperor¡¯s Imperial Power. It was as if a giant meteor had smashed into a world of bubbles. The difference between them was like Heaven and Earth. The weaker Kings even felt their blood boil, and they had to force themselves to calm down.


    ¡°So, this is the power of an Emperor?¡±


    This was the first time for many Kings to have met an Emperor.


    Weng~~


    As everything within two hundred miles became covered in a dark red haze, the mist-like light started to move and control the power of Heaven and Earth. The Magnificent Power of the Kings from the pirate alliance was being stolen, and they couldn¡¯t act the way they wanted.


    This was a difference in Intent.


    ¡°Master, this Emperor Mu Yun doesn¡¯t have the battle-power of a new Emperor. His strength is even stronger than normal Emperors,¡± the expression of the child Demigod became solemn as he looked at the dark red haze.


    ¡°What¡¯s your suggestion?¡± Zhao Feng remained expressionless.


    ¡°The chances of the pirate alliance winning aren¡¯t over 30%. I suggest Master leave.¡±

 705 Strength of an Emperor

    ¡°The chances of the pirate alliance winning aren¡¯t over 30%. I suggest Master leave,¡± the child Demigod said solemnly.


    It wouldn¡¯t be hard for Zhao Feng to escape in the chaotic battle with his strength, but Zhao Feng started to think and then shook his head, ¡°This is a good chance to understand the strength of an Emperor.¡±


    He had never fought with an Emperor before, and Emperor Mu Yun wasn¡¯t even one of the top Emperors. If he didn¡¯t have to courage to participate in this battle, how would he face the Emperor of Death? Furthermore, Zhao Feng was on the Cold Moon King¡¯s side, so he should lend her his power like he promised.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s purple Soul Sea suddenly started to shake as he was locked on to by a powerful Intent. If it were someone weaker than a King, their souls might have been shattered already, and they would be injured even if they were a King.


    ¡°Emperor Mu Yun!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold as he glanced at Emperor Mu Yun in the center of the dark red haze.


    The Intent just now came from Emperor Mu Yun. He had locked on to Zhao Feng. The Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King both shook at the same time. Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s Intent had locked on to all three of them at the same time and shook their souls.


    ¡°Master, this Emperor Mu Yun left a marking on the three of you,¡± the child Demigod warned, and Zhao Feng found that the Dark Dragon King had a cruel smile.


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng was one of the must-be-killed people, which was why he had been locked on to. This was because he had killed the Dark Dragon King¡¯s adoptive father. As for the other two, the Giant Shark King and the Cold Moon King were powerful competitors to become the Pirate Emperor, and they directly threatened the Dark Dragon King¡¯s status.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Emperor Mu Yun was slightly surprised as his gaze scanned over Zhao Feng. His Intent just now hadn¡¯t shattered this junior¡¯s soul? He felt that the aura of Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was like a mountain of lightning and unable to be moved.


    However, Emperor Mu Yun didn¡¯t think too much about it. There were too many talented people in the world, and some had strong souls while others had firm Intents. There was even a race among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races that became stronger by devouring the souls of others.


    ¡°Everyone be careful. Kings below the Domain-level, move away from Emperor Mu Yun!¡±


    ¡°The Cold Moon King and I, as well as the four Domain-level Kings, will stall Emperor Mu Yun!¡±


    The Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King ordered, but Emperor Mu Yun had already started to attack.


    Boom!


    The dark red haze seemed to become alive as it blocked the sun and moon. The space here was controlled by Emperor Mu Yun, and he blocked the pirate alliance and the Pirate Kings.


    ¡°Die!¡± Emperor Mu Yun gently raised his hand and formed a dark red hand in the air that descended from the sky. This dark red hand was followed by a wave of mist-like substance that seemed to represent the Intent of the universe.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The bodies of both the Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King became heavy as they did their best to dodge the dark red hand that was aimed at them. As long as the two Peak-tier Kings were killed, the pirate alliance would crumble instantly.


    ¡°Giant Shark Image!¡± the Giant Shark King roared as he opened his bloodline and became covered by the image of a large ancient shark. He then waved his hand, and the dominating power of the shark image slashed toward the red hand.


    ¡°Unique Cold Moon!¡± the Cold Moon King¡¯s sword and blade intertwined and sent a stunning beam of moonlight into the air that started to rip the dark red light into shreds.


    Of course, the two Peak-tier Kings had to dodge to one side while blocking the dark red hand. They didn¡¯t dare to clash with it head-on.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The dark red hand then exploded and covered everything within several hundred yards.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± two normal Kings nearby weren¡¯t able to dodge in time and were turned into two puddles of bloody water.


    In just one palm, two normal Kings were killed.


    Siiii!


    The Kings of the pirate alliance took in cold breaths.


    ¡°Kings who haven¡¯t formed Domains are ants in front of an Emperor,¡± the child Demigod murmured, and Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went numb. The strength of an Emperor was terrifying.


    ¡°Dodge!¡±


    The normal Kings all started to put some distance between them.


    ¡°Everyone spread out,¡± the Cold Moon King waved her blade and sword toward Emperor Mu Yun.


    A giant axe appeared in the Giant Shark King¡¯s hand. It was a peak-tier Earth-Grade weapon. The giant axe contained the power of a Peak-tier King¡¯s domain and the shark image, causing the air to tremble.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    The attacks of the two Peak-tier Kings landed on Emperor Mu Yun, and he had a smile of mockery on his face as he waved his hand and formed a hole with dark red light that engulfed the attacks. On top of that, the hole resonated with the dark red haze and had a powerful suction force.


    ¡°Not good!¡± the Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King¡¯s figures were both pulled toward the hole.


    Whoosh!


    At that moment, a golden arrow flashed through the air and shot toward Emperor Mu Yun.


    Emperor Mu Yun jumped up in fright. This golden arrow seemed to have locked on to his soul, and even he couldn¡¯t dodge it. Furthermore, this arrow contained an aura of Destruction, which even he didn¡¯t dare to underestimate.


    This was the strongest arrow Zhao Feng had ever unleashed after obtaining the Sky Locking Bow. Compared to ten days ago, the God Tribulation Lightning in the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning of this arrow was much stronger than before.


    Whoosh! Bam!


    The image of a materialized dimension surrounded Emperor Mu Yun, and the power of the arrow started to weaken and then shatter after striking Emperor Mu Yun.


    ¡°The Little World of an Emperor ¨C a materialized spatial domain!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart shook.


    Although this arrow might not have threatened Emperor Mu Yun very much, it still helped the two Peak-tier Kings.


    ¡°Attack!¡± the Cold Moon King, the Giant Shark King, and the four Domain-level Kings counterattacked.


    Facing so many elite Kings, even Emperor Mu Yun didn¡¯t dare to underestimate them.


    Bam! Boom! Bam!


    The Cold Moon King and the other Kings clashed against Emperor Mu Yun, causing Heaven and Earth to shake. At the same time, the Dark Dragon King led the other Pirate Kings and started to fight against the rest of the pirate alliance.


    ¡°Kill!¡± the Dark Dragon King waved his halberd, and normal Kings weren¡¯t even able to stop him.


    Emperor Mu Yun alone stalled the Cold Moon King, the Giant Shark King, and the strongest pirates. This meant that the Dark Dragon King was unstoppable.


    ¡°Brat, get ready to die!¡± the Dark Dragon King licked his lips and looked at Zhao Feng with a cruel gaze as he charged toward him.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Wind Flash!¡± Zhao Feng used his Wings of Wind and Lightning to pull away from the Dark Dragon King. Without using the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, it would be hard for Zhao Feng to fight against a Peak-tier King head-on.


    The Dark Dragon King still had four more Domain-level Kings and two normal Kings, whereas the pirate alliance only had three Domain-level Kings and twenty normal Kings. The Dark Dragon King alone could stall two or three Domain-level Kings. Although Zhao Feng¡¯s side wasn¡¯t at a disadvantage due to overwhelming numbers, Emperor Mu Yun was able to easily suppress the Cold Moon King, the Giant Shark King, and company. He even had the time to attack others, and he could kill a Pirate King with each strike.


    Once the Cold Moon King or the Giant Shark King lost, the tide would turn in an instant.


    ¡°Little Kun Yun,¡± Zhao Feng looked at the child Demigod and gave an order.


    ¡°Master, you want to¡­?¡± the child Demigod revealed a rare look of excitement.


    Shua!


    The child Demigod was put away by Zhao Feng.


    Miao miao!


    Immediately following that, a small silver-gray cat appeared holding an array flag in the battlefield.


    Hu~~~


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was instantly opened, and it spanned several miles. After absorbing the essence of many Kings, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had become much stronger.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat condensed the array to a mere dozen yards, and its task was to collect the essence of the dead Kings.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Flying Technique!¡± the pair of wings on Zhao Feng¡¯s back fluttered as he disappeared.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± a normal King below was slain by Zhao Feng.


    By using the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and the Wind Lightning Wings Slash together, Zhao Feng could easily kill his targets. He would use the Wind Lightning Wings Slash the instant he arrived, and the target wouldn¡¯t be able to react in time. Even if they noticed it, they didn¡¯t have the time to dodge or evade. This was because, in terms of speed, apart from the Emperor and several Peak-tier Kings, none of them could catch up to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Argh!¡± with another flash, Zhao Feng quickly killed another normal King.


    The Dark Dragon King only had four Domain-level Kings remaining, and he was attacked by the group of Pirate Kings.


    Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. He couldn¡¯t let the Dark Dragon King come to any harm.


    ¡°Arghhhh!¡±


    Emperor Mu Yun thrust out a palm, killing two normal Kings and severely injuring another. Of course, Emperor Mu Yun also wanted to get rid of Zhao Feng, but the latter¡¯s techniques were too profound, and he even had the ability to break through space.


    Back then, the Wind Lightning Emperor had managed to escape even from Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    At the same time, in the air above the Ten Thousand Abyssal Islands Zone, a cold black ship was flying through the air, and it radiated a shocking aura of Death. The animals and beasts nearby trembled in fear wherever the ship went.


    ¡°The Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land is ahead of us,¡± a warm youth looked ahead.


    ¡°According to our analysis, this is the direction Zhao Feng may have escaped toward,¡± an echoing voice came from a nearby Death Spirit Lord wearing a Yin Yang mask.


    Wen Luoan had a respectful expression as he looked at the leader of the four Death Spirit Lords ¨C the Yin Yang Lord.

 706 Demigod Inten

    Within the Ten Thousand Abyssal Islands Zone, in the center of the Eighteen Corners, there was a chaotic battle between Kings unfolding, and the sky seemed to be imprisoned by a dark red haze and separated from the world.


    Boom! Bam~~~~


    Emperor Mu Yun steadily suppressed the Cold Moon King, the Giant Shark King, and the other elite Kings.


    ¡°Arghh!¡±


    Every time he attacked, he could kill a nearby King with his Imperial Power. The normal Kings pulled away from Emperor Mu Yun, while the Cold Moon King, the Giant Shark King, and the other elite Kings entered a difficult battle.


    In just a while, all six had been injured, and one of the Domain-level Kings was severely injured. If it weren¡¯t for the Cold Moon King¡¯s powerful offense and the Giant Shark King¡¯s bloodline, several Domain-level Kings would have been slain long ago.


    ¡°Whether we can win or not will depend on Zhao Feng¡¯s side,¡± the Cold Moon King flashed across the air.


    The Giant Shark King¡¯s bloodline gave him super-strength, and he was the only one that could block Emperor Mu Yun head-on. However, that was only temporarily. The two Peak-tier Kings had used secret techniques to rapidly increase their battle-power, which couldn¡¯t be sustained for long because of the large amounts of energy used.


    The only chance of winning was overwhelming numbers. If Zhao Feng¡¯s side could quickly finish off the Dark Dragon King and company, there was a chance of success if all the Kings attacked the Emperor.


    Zhao Feng also knew that the critical point was on his side. They had the advantage in numbers, and they could definitely suppress the Dark Dragon King and company. The only issue was how quickly they could do it.


    ¡°The Dark Dragon King has four Domain-level Kings remaining,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    As for the other two normal Kings, one had been slain by Zhao Feng while the other died elsewhere in the battle.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the array flag around and absorbed the essence of the Kings ¨C both friend and foe. In just a short instant, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had absorbed the essence of five or six Kings and it became much stronger. The essence of Kings was extremely beneficial for the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and when their souls were filled with the power of hatred, they were even stronger.


    Over the last couple days, the cursed ghost-corpses had all reached the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm, and their bodies were extremely strong. Now that the array had continuously absorbed five or six Kings, the auras of the cursed ghost-corpses were closing in on the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Illusion Maze Domain!¡± Zhao Feng entered the fight against the Domain-level Kings, and a misty maze seemed to merge into the air, shaking their minds and restricting their senses, causing them to reveal flaws.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± one of the Domain-level Kings was instantly killed by several Kings, and another Domain-level King was injured and tried to run, but a golden arrow shot through and killed him.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat quickly absorbed the essence and souls of the two Kings. Domain-level Kings gave even bigger benefits for the cursed ghost-corpses.


    At this moment, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array released a terrifying aura that even normal Kings would need to retreat from. Furthermore, the power of hatred and the air of Death radiating from it could form a shield that protected against the shockwaves of normal Kings.


    ¡°Hahahaha! This feels great!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s finish off the Dark Dragon King!¡±


    The Kings of the pirate alliance felt extremely good. The Dark Dragon King only had two Domain-level Kings remaining, and they were injured. If this continued, the Dark Dragon King and company wouldn¡¯t be able to last more than a dozen or so breaths.


    ¡°Not good, that brat¡­!¡± the Dark Dragon King¡¯s eyes looked at Zhao Feng with hatred, but Zhao Feng¡¯s Wings of Wind and Lightning were too fast. If he wanted to run, none of the Kings present would be able to catch up.


    The sudden turn in the tide made Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s expression change. He could tell that Zhao Feng was heavily influencing the tide of the battle.


    ¡°Brat, die!¡± Emperor Mu Yun spread his arms and unleashed a dark red whirlwind, which pushed the Cold Moon King, the Giant Shark King, and the other Kings back several miles. Emperor Mu Yun then charged over and sent his powerful Intent across.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng felt his soul tremble. If it were a normal King in his place, they would be severely injured ¨C if not killed ¨C but Zhao Feng¡¯s soul became much stronger than a normal King¡¯s after his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye evolved. Adding on the fact that he drank the water from the Ancient Dream Realm, was cleansed by God Tribulation Lightning, and cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, his soul was incredibly strong. After absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was now comparable to a Peak-tier King, but still a bit away from an Emperor¡¯s.


    Lightning Wings Wind Flash!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Lightning Wings Secret Technique and turned into an arc of lightning.


    He didn¡¯t panic in front of an Emperor. The Cold Moon King, the Giant Shark King, and the other elites did their best to stop Emperor Mu Yun, but if an Emperor wanted to leave, no one could stop him. The best they could do was limit his speed.


    ¡°An Emperor personally going to kill a junior at the Origin Core Realm?¡± the Cold Moon King snickered coldly as she slashed out with her blade and sword.


    Emperor Mu Yun laughed coldly and continued to chase after Zhao Feng. Although Zhao Feng was fast, Emperor Mu Yun was closing in.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, watch out!¡± the Cold Moon King, the male with golden hair, and company couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.


    However, within their sight, the youth with wings was calm.


    ¡°Little Kun Yun, it¡¯s up to you now,¡± Zhao Feng said, and as soon as his words finished, a shocking Intent radiated across the sky. In terms of quantity, the Intent wasn¡¯t as strong as an Emperor¡¯s, but its compatibility with Heaven and Earth far surpassed an Emperor¡¯s.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!!????¡± Emperor Mu Yun felt his heart shake for some reason.


    Shua!


    A golden-skinned kid who looked around three years old was surrounded in glorious power as he appeared next to Zhao Feng. It was the child Demigod.


    Bam!


    The child Demigod punched out, and the Intent contained within it even surpassed an Emperor¡¯s. The golden fist was like the scorching sun, and it seemed to establish dominance over Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± an injured Domain-level King was instantly killed by this fist.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­! As expected, everything¡¯s different after merging with the Demigod Intent,¡± the child Demigod was overjoyed.


    ¡°That kid!¡± both friend and foe took in cold breaths. The punch was unexpected, and the power contained within was limitless.


    Emperor Mu Yun was shocked. Even he couldn¡¯t see through the Intent in this punch. This all meant that the Dark Dragon King only had one more Domain-level King left, so he was in danger.


    ¡°Sky Sealing Palm!¡± the child Demigod stood in front of Zhao Feng and slowly thrust out his palms.


    In that instant, Heaven and Earth seemed to exist in mud. It was as if time itself had been slowed down.


    Boom!


    Several beams of golden light twisted in the air and landed on Emperor Mu Yun, causing his speed and actions to freeze. Although the child Demigod¡¯s battle-power wasn¡¯t enough to directly harm him, Emperor Mu Yun felt as if his Intent and Imperial Power were restricted.


    ¡°It¡¯s the legendary Sky Sealing Palm!¡±


    The child Demigod recovered more of his memories after merging with the Demigod Intent, and he could use a simplified version of the Sky Sealing Palm. On top of that, the child Demigod¡¯s cultivation had reached the peak Great Origin Core Realm, just a single step away from the Void God Realm.


    ¡°Looks like the Demigod revival plan didn¡¯t go to waste,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head. The battle-power of the child Demigod was almost comparable to a Peak-tier King, and his Intent suppressed most people at the Void God Realm.


    ¡°Kill!¡± the Cold Moon King, the Giant Shark King, and the other elites charged toward Emperor Mu Yun with joy, and the latter¡¯s speed was restricted by the Sky Sealing Palm.


    ¡°What the fuck!? What kind of background does that kid have?¡± Emperor Mu Yun was stunned. If the child Demigod¡¯s cultivation was also at the Emperor rank, Emperor Mu Yun would¡¯ve been slaughtered instantly.


    This was the first time Emperor Mu Yun was at a disadvantage.


    The Demigod Kun Yun was a legendary figure who lived dozens of millennia ago, and he had a different appearance back then. Even some of the Emperors from the True Martial Sacred Land wouldn¡¯t be able to recognize him.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Flying Technique!¡± Zhao Feng used his Wings of Wind and Lightning and arrived next to the Dark Dragon King, unleashing his Wind Lightning Wings Slash that had some God Tribulation Lightning merged into it.


    ¡°Run!¡± the Dark Dragon King was already injured, and the other Domain-level King was killed by a handful of other Kings.


    The Dark Dragon King was the only King remaining.


    ¡°Sky Locking Bow!¡±


    A golden arrow formed on Zhao Feng¡¯s dark silver bow and shot through the air. The next instant, the arrow covered in scarlet-colored Wind Lightning and a wisp of God Tribulation Lightning pierced through the Dark Dragon King¡¯s shoulder.


    The Dark Dragon King was severely injured and blood dripped from his mouth, but luckily, he had escaped from the surrounding Kings. But right at this moment, a dark smoke appeared in front of him.


    ¡°What?¡± the Dark Dragon King felt his essence start to flow away, and due to the fact that he had many injuries, the erosion force of the ghost-corpse power of hatred was several times stronger than usual.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the array flag and made the ghost-corpse smoke form some smoke-snakes that wrapped themselves around the Dark Dragon King.


    ¡°Fucking cat, go die!¡± the Dark Dragon King roared in anger. From the beginning of the battle, he had always been surrounded by other Kings, and he constantly had to use secret techniques to stall for time.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat flashed into the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. The Dark Dragon King¡¯s Divine Sense could no longer find the cat, and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was still sucking away his lifeforce. The Dark Dragon King¡¯s face went white, and he didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer. He forcefully broke out of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, but his face was even paler than before.


    At that very moment, a dark dagger seemed to appear out of thin air.


    Whoosh!


    The dagger pierced through the Dark Dragon King¡¯s head and caused blood to splatter everywhere. It was as if he had charged straight into the mysterious dagger on his own.


    ¡°Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger¡­!¡± the Dark Dragon King¡¯s face went white with shock.


    The Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger didn¡¯t just pierce through his body; it also stabbed through his soul.


    Being a sacred item of the Dao of Assassination, the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger had mysterious abilities that were comparable to the Sky Locking Bow. Back then, the little thieving cat had given its all to gain the recognition of the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger.


    ¡°It¡¯s impossible to kill me¡­!¡± the Dark Dragon Kill tried to struggle.


    Pah!


    The little thieving cat slapped his face with its paws and made him dizzy.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± a scream sounded in the soul-dimension as the Dark Dragon King¡¯s soul and body started to melt in the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.

 707 Mu Yun’s Defea

    As the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array absorbed the flesh and blood of a Peak-tier King, it started to evolve, and pairs of red eyes started to appear. These red eyes came from the cursed ghost-corpses; when they all gathered together, a terrifying mental energy power of hatred appeared that was enough to make the hearts of Void God Realm Kings go cold and make anyone below the Void God Realm go crazy.


    Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression. The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had reached another level, and the ghost-corpses had all undergone an evolution.


    Shua!


    Under the control of the little thieving cat, the red eyes started to fade. With the death of the Dark Dragon King, the traitors of the Pirate Sacred Land were finally taken care of.


    The Pirate Kings couldn¡¯t help but sigh; a major pirate figurehead who had ruled for a hundred years had died just like that.


    ¡°Everyone, attack together!¡± the Pirates reacted and started to attack Emperor Mu Yun. The Domain-level Kings charged over while the normal Kings used long-range attacks.


    As Void God Realm Kings, they could live up to thousands and tens of thousands of years. It wasn¡¯t hard to gather a long-range weapon over the course of their life.


    The twenty or so Kings, including the Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King, circulated their King Intent and their Magnificent Power and unleashed their attacks on Emperor Mu Yun.


    ¡°Emperor Mu Yun, the Dark Dragon King is dead. What¡¯s the point of you staying behind by yourself?¡± the Giant Shark King said in a low voice.


    With twenty Kings gathered together, they definitely had the upper hand against Emperor Mu Yun. Amongst them, the child Demigod¡¯s Sky Sealing Palm suppressed Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s Intent and Imperial Power, weakening his strength even further.


    Emperor Mu Yun was seething with anger. An Emperor such as himself had actually been forced into a situation like this?


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    As the Peak-tier Kings, Domain-level Kings, and normal Kings attacked, Emperor Mu Yun was starting to lose. Even if he wanted to break out, he would need to pay a certain price now.


    ¡°Hmph! Although the Dark Dragon King may have died, I will kill all those I promised him I would kill,¡± Emperor Mu Yun snickered coldly, and as soon as he finished saying this, the dark red haze started to move. The outline of a Little World started to fill the air and block the attacks of the Kings.


    ¡°Emperor Mu Yun, you won¡¯t be able to stop our attacks even if your Little World materializes.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s the point of doing so!?¡±


    The Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King persuaded as they attacked.


    Right now, Emperor Mu Yun was just trying to save face. After his Little World materialized, his defense and offense both increased dramatically.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Bam!


    However, the battle-powers of these Kings could flip rivers and oceans. They were unparalleled inland. Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s Little World was instantly filled with holes.


    ¡°I will slay those three people even if I have to pay a price.¡±


    Being an Emperor, Emperor Mu Yun had his own pride, which didn¡¯t allow him to give up so easily. Therefore, he even used his Little World to block the barrage of attacks.


    His soul and True Yuan started to boil, and a burning blood-red blade started to form in his hand. The blood-red blade was a hundred yards long and burned with a half-transparent flame that gave off a forbidden aura.


    ¡°Die!¡± Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s face went red with hatred as he slashed out with the blade.


    Crack!


    The attacks of the Kings were shattered, and the giant blade sliced through Heaven and Earth. There were even sounds of spatial domains shattering.


    ¡°Argh¡­!¡±


    Under this attack, one Domain-level King and two normal Kings instantly turned into a puddle of blood and water.


    ¡°What powerful offense! Even spatial domains were broken,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went numb. When an Emperor went all-out, their battle-power would increase by several times. Furthermore, this blood-red blade also sliced through souls.


    ¡°Emperor Mu Yun, you¡¯re crazy! You¡¯re wasting your lifeforce!¡±


    ¡°Everyone, team up!¡±


    The Pirate Kings were all angered and shocked as they used their secret techniques.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­ you bunch of pirates, die!¡± Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s face was filled with murderous intent.


    ¡°Sky Sealing Eighteen Palms!¡± the child Demigod roared as he unleashed his entire bloodline. His body started to glow with a golden light as his soul merged completely with the Demigod Intent. His palms seemed to be thrust out slowly, but they all landed on Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s Little World.


    ¡°Sky Sealing Eighteen Palms!?? That¡¯s a complete technique of the Sky Sealing Palms!¡±


    Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s Intent and Little World were suppressed. As the Sky Sealing Eighteen Palms was used, the pressure and sealing effect became even stronger.


    ¡°Hehe, once I¡¯m able to use all my Sky Sealing Eighteen Palms, the power of my sealing will be eighteen times stronger. At that moment in time, I can even seal Heaven and Earth,¡± the child Demigod thrust out his palms.


    In reality, right now, he could only use up to the 8th palm at most. However, even then, it was stunning. He could seal a Peak-tier King and a pocket dimension.


    ¡°Not good! My Little World¡­!¡± Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s heart was heavy. His offense, skills, and Magnificent Power were all restricted. By the time the 4th sealing palm arrived, his speed was limited by half, and his offensive capabilities were weakened by 20-30%.


    ¡°Master, I can only use this technique up to the eighth palm. I can¡¯t fully seal him,¡± the child Demigod said.


    ¡°It¡¯s enough,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head. After all, their opponent was an Emperor.


    Emperor Mu Yun had been suppressed by the Sky Sealing Palm and was being furiously attacked by twenty or so Kings. Half of his Little World had been broken.


    Wah!


    Emperor Mu Yun finally spat out a mouthful of blood, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly regretful. Maybe he shouldn¡¯t have overestimated himself. He shouldn¡¯t have tried to save face. He had indeed thought too highly of himself. An Emperor facing almost twenty Kings while being suppressed by the Sky Sealing Palm almost made him fall into desperation.


    ¡°Master, he¡¯s an Emperor after all. You need to watch out for his counterattack,¡± the child Demigod was up to the 7th palm, and Emperor Mu Yun was already injured and preparing to use one of his hidden cards.


    ¡°Hmph! Although a heavy price is needed to use this move, it¡¯ll make sure I can escape and kill half the people here,¡± Emperor Mu Yun laughed coldly. Before he escaped, he was going to severely injure these people.


    At this moment in time, no one realized that Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye had become purple. It was as if there was a deep purple world within it. His hair had also become purple as it blew in the wind.


    ¡°Sky Sealing 8th Palm!¡± the child Demigod used his final Sky Sealing Palm, and Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s soul and mind both became heavy. He spat out another mouthful of blood due to the attacks of the Kings. His Little World started to shatter, but even though he was severely injured, a cruel smile appeared on his face.


    Some Kings nearby could already feel an uneasy and forbidden aura. Only Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline could see the movement and circulation of Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s True Yuan clearly.


    ¡°The seal is at its strongest and his Little World has been broken. This is the perfect chance!¡± Zhao Feng instantly used his eye-bloodline technique.


    Shuuu!


    A half-transparent blade radiating the aura of God Tribulation Lightning pierced through Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s chest. Blood splattered everywhere, and Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s body froze. His hidden technique that he was about to use was stopped half-way.


    In that instant, his face went red and white, and blood spurted out from his ears, nose, and mouth. The nearby Pirate Kings had gaping mouths.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eye and hair color returned to normal.


    Shock appeared in the Cold Moon King¡¯s and the Giant Shark King¡¯s eyes. Neither of them expected this youth to have such terrifying power. Who would have thought that this youth¡¯s strongest point wasn¡¯t the Wind Lightning Inheritance, but his eye-bloodline?


    The moment Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was used, the Kings present felt their souls go cold with uneasiness.


    So, this is his true strength! And that wisp of power ¨C could it be the God Tribulation Lightning??? the child Demigod acted as if he had been choked. He merged with the Demigod Intent not long ago and his strength rose dramatically. Although Zhao Feng¡¯s Dark Heart Seed was still there, he was already formulating a plan. However, seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline, he took in a cold breath.


    The Void Space Eye Slash had a destructive effect on Emperor Mu Yun. The Void Space Eye Slash was now countless times stronger than when he was in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. The Purple Destruction Wind Lightning had now become Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, and it had merged with the power of the God Tribulation Lightning. The difference in power was like the gap between Heaven and Earth.


    If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that it was a surprise attack, that Emperor Mu Yun was restricted by the Sky Sealing Palm, and that his Little World was broken, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to hit him so easily, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t become arrogant. With an Emperor¡¯s understanding of Space and their senses, it would be hard for the Void Space Eye Slash to land under normal circumstances.


    At this moment, blood was pouring out of Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s nose, ears, eyes, and mouth. He was on the verge of death. Who could have expected a Void God Realm Emperor to end up like this?


    ¡°Explode!¡± Emperor Mu Yun burned his True Yuan and soul as the broken Little World exploded, either killing the nearby Kings or sending them flying.


    ¡°Argh!¡± five or six nearby Void God Realm Kings were instantly killed while the others were sent flying.


    Luckily, the Little World had been broken. If it was still complete, the power from the explosion of a Little World would be ten times stronger and might even be able to kill an Emperor.


    Whoosh!


    After the explosion of the Little World, a dark red haze flew into the air. Its speed was several times faster than Zhao Feng at his peak.


    In just the blink of an eye, Emperor Mu Yun disappeared from sight.


    ¡°I won¡¯t forget about this!¡± Emperor Mu Yun gritted his teeth, and his expression became deadly after escaping.


    An hour later, his speed had started to decrease, and he arrived at the edges of the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land. Right at this moment, a cold black metallic ship flew over.


    ¡°Void God Realm Emperor?¡± Wen Luoan was stunned. Not long ago, he and the Yin Yang Lord had sensed a wisp of the aura from the Eye of Death.


    ¡°Get back here!¡± the Yin Yang Lord shouted.


    ¡°This Emperor seems to have touched the aura from the Intent of Death,¡± Wen Luoan and the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s Tokens of Death both sensed something.


    ¡°What? ¡®Get back here¡¯?¡± Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s expression grew dark. Although he was severely injured, his soul hadn¡¯t been destroyed, and he still had 50-60% of his battle-power remaining. However, even then, he wasn¡¯t something a Peak-tier King could rival.

 708 Gaze of Death

    Wen Luoan and the Yin Yang Lord obviously weren¡¯t so arrogant that they believed they could keep an Emperor behind, even if he was severely injured.


    Emperor Mu Yun was full of anger and had nowhere to release it. He licked his lips and looked at the Wen Luoan, the Yin Yang Lord, and all the Death Guards on the ship with a cruel smile. He felt that there was a familiar feeling to them, as if he knew about them from somewhere.


    ¡°This person has traces of Zhao Feng. We must keep him behind,¡± Wen Luoan and the Yin Yang Lord looked at each other.


    After being hit by Zhao Feng¡¯s Void Space Eye Slash, there was a trace of the Intent of Death on Emperor Mu Yun due to the large amount of soul-power used.


    The two exchanged glances and instantly knew what to do.


    Shua! Shua!


    They both took out a unique Token of Death at the same time. The tokens were as black as ink, and an ancient character of Death was written on it. Both released an aura of Death that went straight to the soul.


    Emperor Mu Yun felt his soul go cold, and he became uneasy. An Intent of Death radiated from the tokens and locked on to Emperor Mu Yun.


    ¡°Those tokens, could it be¡­?¡± Emperor Mu Yun seemed to think of something, and his expression changed dramatically.


    The next instant, a shocking scene appeared.


    Weng~~~


    A pitch-black eye appeared from the center of the two tokens and sparkled with a white light, as if connecting to the world of Death.


    ¡°Eye of Death!¡± Emperor Mu Yun exclaimed; what he thought was correct.


    At this moment, the power of the Eye of Death poured out of Wen Luoan¡¯s and the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s Tokens of Death, and it was dozens of times stronger than when it was in the Purple Saint Ruins. This was due to the difference in quality; last time the Eye of Death appeared, it came from the Token of Death itself since Death Intent could be stored in it and release, whereas this time, Wen Luoan and the Yin Yang Lord used it as a direct connection to the Emperor of Death¡¯s Eye of Death.


    Emperor Mu Yun felt his heart tremble, as if he couldn¡¯t control his own life. However, being a Void God Realm Emperor, he didn¡¯t retreat. On paper, the Emperor of Death had the same cultivation as him, but the latter was an ancient Emperor as well as the descendant of the God Eye of Death.


    ¡°Hmph! Emperor of Death, I might be wary of you if you came personally, but it¡¯s only your Eye of Death travelling across space,¡± Emperor Mu Yun laughed coldly, and his soul almost started to burn as it formed a powerful Intent.


    Wen Luoan and the Yin Yang Lord both felt unable to breathe, and their souls started to tremble, but luckily the Tokens of Death in their hands gave them confidence and a type of protection.


    Crack!


    The two Tokens of Death suddenly shattered, and a pair of Eyes of Death appeared in the air. The eyes were dark like an abyss, and they were similar to Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye of Heaven.


    ¡°Gaze of Death!¡±


    Boom!


    A voice sounded in the soul-dimension, and the Eyes of Death quietly looked at Emperor Mu Yun as if they were part of the Heavenly Dao.


    ¡°What¡­!?¡± Emperor Mu Yun felt his soul become restricted, and he was no longer able to control it. His lifeforce was frozen, and he was unable to move.


    In the air above, the pair of Eyes of Death started to spin.


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Emperor Mu Yun roared as he struggled. However, after the fight not long ago, his Little World was broken and he was injured, leaving him with only 50-60% of his strength remaining.


    He tried to fight back, but he simply didn¡¯t have the ability to do so. The spiritual form of the struggling Emperor Mu Yun was slowly pulled out of his body. This was Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s soul.


    Shua!


    Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s soul was sucked into a black whirlpool by the Eyes of Death.


    ¡°Gaze of Death! This is Master¡¯s famed technique ¨C a clash between souls. The weaker soul will be taken away,¡± respect appeared in Wen Luoan¡¯s eyes.


    The Gaze of Death was considered a forbidden eye-bloodline technique, as well as the representative technique of the God of Death. This was because the owner of the God Eye of Death was the God of Death, but only one person could have the actual God Eye of Death, and they had never appeared in the Cang Ocean before.


    In the air, the large Eyes of Death paused for a breath or two before fading away.


    ¡°Using the Gaze of Death over several island zones, and the target is an Emperor¡­ the price needed to pay for that¡­¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s eyebrows locked together.


    A while later:


    Weng~~


    A token used for messages appeared in Wen Luoan¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s at the Eighteen Corners Canyon where the Pirate Emperor Inheritance Sacred Land is¡­.¡± a weak voice came from the token.


    Eighteen Corners Canyon? Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance? the eyes of Wen Luoan and the Yin Yang Lord lit up. It looked like the Emperor of Death found the tracks of Zhao Feng after taking away Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s soul, but he had paid a price to do so.


    Two special Tokens of Death were used to connect this location to the Eye of Death, but since the distance was extremely far away and the target was also an Emperor, the energy expended was huge. Furthermore, the Emperor of Death still needed to search Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s soul afterward.


    ¡°Master¡¯s used a lot of energy and will probably need to rest for a month. You guys go keep an eye on the target¡­.¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s voice sounded.


    Wen Luoan and the Yin Yang Lord looked at each other with puzzlement. Why did the Emperor of Death want to kill Zhao Feng so badly and leave a whole corpse? The Emperor of Death had paid a heavy price and a huge amount of time and effort to chase Zhao Feng. Was it all worth it?


    Back in the Eighteen Corners Canyon, in the middle of the Pirate Sacred Land, all of the Pirate Kings were injured to different degrees after the fight, and their gazes toward Zhao Feng were different from before. No one doubted that Zhao Feng had the ability to fight the Giant Shark King and the Cold Moon King for the throne of Pirate Emperor. Even the child Demigod admired Zhao Feng.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    More than ten Pirate King Tokens floated in the air above the ocean. According to the rules of the Pirate Emperor Inheritance, one could open the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance after gathering nine Pirate King Tokens, but now they had surpassed that number by far.


    One of the Pirate King Tokens was connected to Zhao Feng¡¯s ghost ship. Each Pirate King Token was connected to a pirate ship, and since the ghost ship was originally a pirate ship, it was recognized by the Pirate King Token. Being the captain of the ship, Zhao Feng was one of the Pirate Kings.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    A loud clap sounded in the ocean, and a trembling sensation came from the Eighteen Corners Canyon, from within the Pirate Sacred Land. Even those at the Void God Realm felt infinitely small in front of this enormous power.


    ¡°What a setup! Is this really the inheritance of just an Emperor?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s senses were extremely strong.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat had also appeared on his shoulder, and its eyes started to twinkle.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance is indeed not simple,¡± the child Demigod started to think.


    The trembling sensation lasted for an entire eighteen breaths. At the same moment, a dark green light shot into the sky from the eighteen canyons, and it seemed to have the ability to turn Heaven and Earth around. Of course, no one could see it unless they looked down from above.


    ¡°The inheritance has appeared!¡± someone exclaimed.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    An enormous whirlpool formed in the center of the ocean, and inside was a wisp of dark green light, as well as an ancient aura that seemed like the other side of a distant shore.


    ¡°What terrifying strength! Is this the entrance to the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance?¡± the child Demigod squinted.


    The enormous and mysterious whirlpool seemed to have an everlasting Intent.


    ¡°This entrance¡­ even Emperors would be ripped into shreds,¡± Zhao Feng clicked his tongue. Furthermore, the dark green light gave Zhao Feng a familiar feeling. It was similar to an aura in his memories, but slightly different.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± the Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King led their warships and charged into the whirlpool. Profoundly, their warships were protected by a mysterious power and were not injured by the terrifying power of the whirlpool.


    ¡°Interesting,¡± Zhao Feng could see that this was due to the aura of the Pirate King Token inside their ships.


    The ghost ship also had such an aura, and it became more obvious as they got closer to the whirlpool.


    This was the entire setup of the Pirate Sacred Land. Zhao Feng became more curious; the Pirate Emperor was really able to plan this all by himself?


    Whoosh!


    The ghost ship followed the other pirate ships and entered the center of the whirlpool. Only the ships that had been recognized and had participated in the opening could enter.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    At the same time, the other Pirate King Tokens from across the Pirate Sacred Land were pulled into the whirlpool. Every time the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance opened, the eighteen Pirate King Tokens would be redistributed.


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. It looked like the Cold Moon King hadn¡¯t tricked him. This meant that the ghost ship was now free and no longer restricted by the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land.


    The little thieving cat, the child Demigod, and the skeletal Division Leader weren¡¯t affected when the ghost ship entered the whirlpool. They were on the ship and automatically assumed to be pirates.


    Only twelve ships were able to enter the whirlpool. No matter how strong the other ships were, they were ripped into shreds by the whirlpool. Even Void God Realm Emperors wouldn¡¯t be able to forcefully enter. Even if they could, without the heart of a pirate, they wouldn¡¯t be able to obtain anything.


    This was an inheritance limited to Pirates!


    Bam!


    The whirlpool became the center of power in the Eighteen Corners Canyon. Who knows how much time passed?


    A cold metallic ship of Death sailed through the ocean and arrived next to the whirlpool.

 709 Fight for Pirate Emperor

    The metallic ship of Death stayed near the whirlpool. It was unable to enter.


    Wen Luoan, the Yin Yang Lord, and the Death Guards all felt helpless as they stared at the enormous whirlpool. This whirlpool was connected to the power of Heaven and Earth of the entire Pirate Sacred Land. It wasn¡¯t something people could fight against.


    ¡°We¡¯ve missed the opportunity. That Zhao Feng became one of the Pirate Kings and entered the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land,¡± the Yin Yang Lord soon received some information.


    The Death Guards aboard the ship had gone around and captured some of the pirates nearby.


    No outside expert had ever been able to forcefully enter the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance. Even peak Emperors such as the Emperor of Death weren¡¯t able to enter Pirate Emperor Sacred Land forcefully.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance is only a small inheritance compared to the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and Zhao Feng¡¯s not even a true pirate, so he won¡¯t be able to receive any real fortune or inheritance,¡± Wen Luoan smiled confidently.


    Over the last half a year, Wen Luoan had recovered his cultivation, and he even went a step further after the fortune and experience of the Demigod Forgotten Garden. He was now a half-step King.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance won¡¯t last longer than half a month. We¡¯ll just wait here for Zhao Feng to come out. Gather the other Death Spirit Lords and Death Guards,¡± the Yin Yang Lord said in a deep voice as he messaged the other subordinates of the Emperor of Death nearby.


    On the other side of the whirlpool, twelve ships sailed in the chaotic waves.


    No one knew how much time passed, but a small island covered in a mysterious ancient green light appeared in sight.


    Zhao Feng stood on the deck and inspected this strange dimension. In his sight was limitless water, but not like the limitless ocean of the outside world.


    The chaotic waves pushed the ships to the only piece of land ¨C the small island at the center.


    ¡°This is a secret realm which is probably even higher ranked than the Demigod Forgotten Garden,¡± the child Demigod murmured, and Zhao Feng was stunned. The Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance sounded like the inheritance of a peak Emperor, but it was actually such a highly-ranked secret realm?


    ¡°We¡¯re almost at the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land!¡±


    The pirates aboard the ships were excited as they stared at the small island.


    Zhao Feng could see eighteen peaks on the island, as well as a large mountain at the very center that seemed to overlook the rest. The mountain seemed to have the aura of an Emperor.


    ¡°Hehe, after entering the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land, the eighteen Pirate Kings will be redistributed, and another Pirate Emperor will be born,¡± the middle-aged long-bearded man said.


    Of course, normal Kings didn¡¯t dare to set their eyes on the throne of Pirate Emperor. The ones who had the highest chance to obtain it were the Cold Moon King, the Giant Shark King, and Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This dimension seems to be separated from the outside world,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s hair and left eye turned purple, and he could see how unusual this dimension was with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    The island at the center seemed to be a very small part of the secret realm, but the chaotic waves pushed all the ships and living beings toward it. Sometime later, the twelve ships reached the shore.


    ¡°Quick!¡±


    ¡°Grab this chance!¡±


    The pirates started to charge onto the island with all their speed.


    The island had its original ancient appearance, and the resources on it were even slightly better than the Purple Saint Ruins. Apart from that, the eighteen peaks were also the targets of the pirates.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! The eighteen peaks all contain an inheritance of the Pirate Emperor. You can choose one that suits you,¡± the golden-haired male said.


    Whoosh!


    As soon as he said that, the golden-haired male and the long-bearded male headed off toward their respective peaks.


    After entering the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land, the pirates all fought for their own future.


    ¡°The throne of the Pirate Emperor!¡± the Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King both flew toward the large mountain at the very center. This large mountain represented the fight for the Pirate Emperor¡¯s throne.


    Ding! Ding! Bam~~~


    The two Pirate Kings started to fight each other the second they reached the mountain, and the other Pirate Kings didn¡¯t participate. They each had their own plans.


    As long as the Cold Moon King or the Giant Shark King received the inheritance of the large mountain, they would become the next Pirate Emperor. Once a Pirate Emperor was born, they would be able to order the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land around.


    Zhao Feng flew in the sky and looked down on the entire island, and he revealed a look of disappointment.


    It was obvious that, while the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance was rare, there was still a gap between the Demigod Forgotten Garden and the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance. The resources contained within this place couldn¡¯t be compared to the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    The places with better fortune were the eighteen peaks and the center mountain. However, the problem was that Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t very interested in the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance. There would be no suitable inheritance for him here.


    No matter how strong the Pirate Emperor was, he was just a peak Emperor, and he didn¡¯t have an eye-bloodline. Zhao Feng had the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance and the God Tribulation Lightning. Any inheritance less than a Sacred Lord¡¯s didn¡¯t attract him.


    On the other hand, the child Demigod participated in the fight for the resources on the island. No matter how skinny a fly was, there was still meat, and the child Demigod urgently needed resources to recover his strength since Zhao Feng was limiting him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t kill too many people,¡± Zhao Feng ordered. He didn¡¯t want to break the balance on the island. That might cause unforeseen outcomes to the Pirate Sacred Land.


    Boom!


    A large black pole rose into the sky from a certain peak.


    ¡°So fast!¡±


    ¡°Someone was able to receive part of the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance so quickly?¡±


    The pirates on the island were surprised, and Zhao Feng could see that the peak where the black pole came from was an inheritance of the Demonic Dao.


    On the peak of the mountain, a Pirate King was covered in black light as he slowly merged into the mountain and disappeared.


    Weng~~


    The mountain then became covered by a black light, blocking others from entering. Zhao Feng knew that a future Pirate King was now confirmed.


    ¡°My Lord, with your strength, why not go fight for a peak?¡± a half-step King pirate looked at Zhao Feng with puzzlement. This pirate was a subordinate of the Cold Moon King.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to be a pirate, and I don¡¯t want to be restricted to the Pirate Sacred Land,¡± Zhao Feng shook his head with a smile. The Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance didn¡¯t really attract him, and it wasn¡¯t really suitable for him either. Even more importantly, once he received an inheritance, a Pirate King Token would merge into Zhao Feng, which would restrict him to the Pirate Sacred Land.


    At the moment, Zhao Feng gazed down at the battles on the island from above.


    The fiercest fight was between the Cold Moon King and the Giant Shark King. They had both been injured in the battle before, and this fight would determine who died and who lived.


    ¡°Cold Moon King, you¡¯re more injured than me. If this continues, you will lose,¡± the Giant Shark King said in a deep tone.


    ¡°We shall see!¡± the Cold Moon King¡¯s face was cold as she slashed out with her blade and sword, using her speed and offense to gain the advantage.


    In terms of speed and offense, the Cold Moon King was the best amongst the three figureheads. However, the Giant Shark King¡¯s body and bloodline were extremely strong, and he specialized in defense, so he was able to easily dissolve the Cold Moon King¡¯s attacks.


    Apart from that, some of the other peaks were fought over by several pirates.


    The Pirate Alliance had lost many Void God Realm Kings in the battle before, so there were only slightly more than ten Kings, while there were eighteen peaks on the island. As long as one was a King, they would be able to easily obtain a peak, and the remaining peaks were fought over by several half-step Kings or peak Sovereign Lords.


    At the same time, the lower-middle echelon of pirates that didn¡¯t have the right to fight for the peaks were searching for resources.


    The most casual person on the entire island was definitely Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and looked around the island and the dimension.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! Please help me. If I am able to obtain the throne of the Pirate Emperor, I will owe you a favor, and I will repay it back ten times over in the future,¡± a cold, crisp voice sounded in his ear, and Zhao Feng saw that the owner of the voice was the Cold Moon King.


    The Cold Moon King¡¯s perfect body was covered in moonlight, and while her long legs were as white as snow, there were several bloody marks on them.


    She gripped her sword and blade and moved as fast as lightning. She wasn¡¯t weaker than Zhao Feng in terms of movement, and her offense was enough to threaten Emperors.


    In the short-term, the Cold Moon King had the advantage, but Zhao Feng could tell that the Cold Moon King had used up a lot of energy. Her breathing rate was quick, and her breasts heaved up and down. Sweat had started to appear on her forehead as she looked at Zhao Feng with a begging gaze and determination.


    Zhao Feng knew that it was rare for the Cold Moon King to ask for help. At the same time, it meant that she trusted Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t done anything till now, and others might have thought that he was thinking about the Pirate Emperor¡¯s throne. This was what the Giant Shark King thought; he was conserving his strength and even making preparations to counter Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Giant Shark King, give the Pirate Emperor¡¯s throne to the Cold Moon King,¡± Zhao Feng was very straightforward.


    ¡°What!?¡± the Giant Shark King¡¯s body froze as he looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief. He originally thought that Zhao Feng was also thinking about the Pirate Emperor¡¯s throne, which is why he hadn¡¯t acted yet, but Zhao Feng was helping the Cold Moon King? Could this Zhao Feng not be interested in the Pirate Emperor¡¯s throne?


    If that¡¯s the case¡­ the Giant Shark King¡¯s heart went cold.


    In the battle before, Zhao Feng and the child Demigod¡¯s strength made other Pirate Kings respect him. The child Demigod could even suppress the Intent of an Emperor, and Zhao Feng¡¯s last Void Space Eye Slash had severely injured an Emperor, making the hearts of others go cold.


    ¡°Zhao Feng! As long as you don¡¯t interfere in the fight for Pirate Emperor, I will agree to almost anything you want,¡± the Giant Shark King quickly said. Once Zhao Feng and the child Demigod helped the Cold Moon King, he would have no chance at all.

 710 Use of the Demonic Vine

    Zhao Feng became a critical factor in the fight for Pirate Emperor. His existence was enough to turn the tide, and if he and the child Demigod teamed up, they would be able to suppress any major figurehead.


    ¡°Sorry, before I leave the Pirate Sacred Land, I am still a subordinate of the Cold Moon King,¡± Zhao Feng said slowly as his left eye locked on to the Giant Shark King. Since this dimension was separated from the outside world, he could use his eye-bloodline here without any worry.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!?¡± the Giant Shark King felt a shocking Eye Intent that made his soul uneasy, and the sound of thunder rumbling appeared in his soul. There was also a Destructive aura contained within it.


    ¡°Eye-bloodline¡­! This is his true strength!?¡± the Giant Shark King was stunned.


    Zhao Feng was now using his soul-strength and Eye Intent without restriction.


    After the evolution of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng had continued comprehending the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, and he continued cleansing himself with the God Tribulation Lightning, which strengthened his soul even more. Now, his soul and bloodline weren¡¯t weaker than a Peak-tier King, while the purity of his soul even surpassed Peak-tier Kings.


    Zhao Feng sighed. He had become so much stronger while running away from the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, thank you,¡± the Cold Moon King gave him a grateful expression.


    With Zhao Feng and the child Demigod on her side, she had a high chance of successfully obtaining the Pirate Emperor¡¯s throne. Despite Zhao Feng being so powerful, he still acted as her subordinate.


    ¡°Master!¡± the child Demigod flew through the air, and a surge of Demigod Intent made the Giant Shark King¡¯s heart drop.


    The Giant Shark King revealed a bitter smile. Zhao Feng and the child Demigod played a critical part in defeating Emperor Mu Yun. Their combined force was unparalleled against anyone below an Emperor.


    ¡°Cold Moon King, you sure are lucky. I won¡¯t participate in the fight for Pirate Emperor,¡± the Giant Shark King smiled bitterly and admitted defeat. He couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly regretful that he didn¡¯t try to get Zhao Feng on his side before. However, thinking about it, Zhao Feng might only be helping the Cold Moon King because of her beauty and charm.


    Before he left, the Giant Shark King glanced at Zhao Feng and the Cold Moon King with a deep gaze, containing suspiciousness and a knowing look. Zhao Feng remained expressionless and watched him leave, while the Cold Moon King¡¯s expression remained cold. No one knew what she was thinking, but her heartbeat sped up a little quicker, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel uneasy. Was Zhao Feng helping her due to her looks? Would he ask for something excessive?


    ¡°Cold Moon King, I will be leaving after the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance closes,¡± Zhao Feng looked back and went straight to the point.


    The Cold Moon King let out a breath in her heart. Zhao Feng¡¯s calmness made her feel slightly disappointed, but it wasn¡¯t as if she had fallen in love with Zhao Feng. Being a pirate that had experienced countless fights and slaughters, her heart was as hard as rock and wouldn¡¯t be easily moved.


    However, she had to admit that she was grateful to this man. She admired Zhao Feng¡¯s calmness and honesty, especially his help during the critical moment. Strangely though, it seemed as if Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t even interested in the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land or the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance at all and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.


    ¡°Little Kun Yun, let¡¯s go look at some other places,¡± Zhao Feng said to the child Demigod. Zhao Feng had inspected the entire island with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye; there was nothing unique or worthy of going to.


    Little Kun Yun? the Cold Moon Kung felt as if this name was familiar, as if she had read it in a book somewhere. Of course, she didn¡¯t think too deeply on it.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I owe you a favor. I will repay you back ten times more in the future,¡± the Cold Moon King said solemnly as she looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s back, but he didn¡¯t take it to heart and simply left with the child Demigod.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and threw several coins into the air.


    ¡°Master, I feel the same as you. This secret realm is definitely not as simple as the inheritance of just a measly Emperor, even if he was a Mechanisms Grandmaster and an Array Grandmaster. It¡¯s just way too complicated,¡± the child Demigod nodded his head and said.


    Like that, the human, cat, and child went around the island for closer inspection.


    ¡°We still haven¡¯t found anything.¡±


    ¡°This island should be set up by the Pirate Emperor.¡±


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod discussed as they scouted.


    A day later, Zhao Feng had given up on searching on the island, but the waves and the power outside of the island pushed everything toward the island. He would face a strong resistive force when he tried to fly, and he could only stabilize himself when he used his Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    Zhao Feng flew out thousands of miles and the resistance became stronger, but luckily, he had a large amount of resources that could replenish his True Yuan.


    Several thousand miles later, Zhao Feng suddenly felt that the waves of the ocean became slightly calmer and the force of resistance weakened.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go even further.¡±


    This time, he flew dozens of thousands of miles, but he still didn¡¯t find any second island.


    At this moment, they had reached the end of the secret realm, and a dark green barrier appeared in sight.


    ¡°This secret realm is definitely highly ranked,¡± the child Demigod¡¯s eyebrows locked together.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t give up. He returned to the island then flew toward the other side, but he still didn¡¯t find anything. Instead, he faced more danger from the environment, but Zhao Feng had the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and the Wings of Wind and Lightning, allowing him to pass through safely.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing near the surface of the ocean,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s thoughts spun. He had marked off the island and the surface of the ocean.


    ¡°Why not try underwater?¡± the child Demigod suggested, and Zhao Feng nodded his head. That was what he was thinking.


    Plop!


    Zhao Feng dove into the water, and a layer of purple scales appeared over his body. This was his Water-elemental defensive bloodline, and he also had his other Water bloodline.


    Although the resistance was strong, he managed to reach the depths of the ocean.


    The force at the depths of the ocean was terrifying. Even normal Kings would be unable to sustain themselves here for long. Furthermore, the color of the ocean was dark green, and it heavily restricted his senses. Zhao Feng could only barely see a mile away with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat threw the old bronze coins and pointed in a certain direction. Zhao Feng used a ripple of water to protect it, while the child Demigod¡¯s Golden Kun Sacred Body had the ability to protect him from the water as he followed from behind.


    This cat also knows divination? the child Demigod followed Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat from behind.


    No one knew how long went by. The dark green light in the depths of the ocean became brighter and brighter, as if there was a source of light.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat threw the bronze coins once more and seemed to be excited. The child Demigod revealed a suspicious look. It seemed as if Zhao Feng really trusted the little thieving cat and kept going forward.


    However, the closer they got to the source of light, the stronger the water pressure became.


    At a certain moment, dark green vines appeared in front. Each vine had green spikes and glinted with a cold light. The source of green light came from the depths of the vines, and Zhao Feng felt an ancient aura there as well.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws around and became more excited.


    ¡°Master, I believe that there is a secret that no one knows at the depths of the vines,¡± the child Demigod said, but to reach the source of light, they would have to pass through the countless dark green vines.


    Boom!


    The child Demigod punched out and only made a small gap in the vines ahead.


    ¡°These vines are extremely old and resilient against True Yuan and physical attacks,¡± the expression of the child Demigod changed. 70% of his full power had only created a hole half a yard wide. Furthermore, the resistance in the ocean was strong, so it was hard to unleash his full power here.


    Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning!


    Zhao Feng thrust out his palm and also only managed to create a small gap. Plants were extremely resilient against lightning.


    ¡°The dark green vines probably span several hundred miles.¡±


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod felt troubled. The dark green vines would recover slowly after being injured.


    ¡°Let¡¯s try this.¡±


    A dried-up, hard, black seed appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Demonic Hell Vine Seed!¡± the child Demigod exclaimed as he recognized the seed.


    Back then at the Purple Saint Ruins, the three two-star sects had used this Demonic Hell Vine Seed to try to erode the Purple Saint Ruins.


    Voom!


    Zhao Feng put the Demonic Hell Vine Seed into the ground.


    ¡°Elixir of Life!¡±


    Zhao Feng quickly took out a drop of Elixir of Life and merged it into the Demonic Hell Vine Seed. A drop of Elixir of Life contained enormous lifeforce and could turn an area of death into a place full of life and supply spiritual plants for up to a thousand years.


    Hu~~~~~


    The seed instantly started to grow furiously, and its vines became thicker and longer. In just a couple breaths¡¯ time, large patches of black vines had appeared¡¯ and each of the vines contained spikes that made one¡¯s blood go cold.


    ¡°Crystal Stone of Life¡­ Ten Thousand Year Zhu Fruit¡­ Blood Bamboo¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng threw rare treasures one after another into the Demonic Hell Vine, and the speed of the Demonic Hell Vine growing instantly increased by several times. In just a short while, black vines filled their sight and quickly started to absorb the lifeforce of the dark green vines after meeting it.


    ¡°As expected of a disaster-level vine!¡± the child Demigod exclaimed.


    The Demonic Hell Vine could absorb the lifeforce of everything, including the blood essence of experts. Although the dark green vine was extremely resilient toward physical attacks, it was just a somewhat old Water-elemental plant.


    As the two vines intertwined, they could see the dark green vine withering.


    A bloodthirsty aura soon appeared within the mass of vines, and a large monster as big as a turtle appeared, covered with several hundred vines dozens of yards long.


    ¡°Hehe, Demonic Vine Hell King, come forth!¡± Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and instantly controlled the Demonic Hell Vine King.


    After he controlled the Vine King, Zhao Feng could control which direction it grew in.


    The vines soon reached the Origin Core Realm, and it continued absorbing more lifeforce from the dark green vines.

 711 Heaven’s Legacy Civilization

    Zhao Feng controlled the Demonic Hell Vine King and made it open up a path in the dark green vines, but the lifeforce and recovery speed of the dark green vines were extremely strong, so the progress wasn¡¯t fast.


    Miao miao!


    An array flag appeared in the little thieving cat¡¯s paws as it set up the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. Pairs of red eyes appeared within dark gray smoke, and the mental energy power radiating from them could make anyone¡¯s hairs stand up.


    The appearance of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array quickened the progress. The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array could absorb the essence and lifeforce of any beings, and its power of hatred made the nearby dark green vines wither even more quickly.


    The aura of the dark red eyes inside the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array started to become stronger.


    ¡°The dark green vines are a high quality and have strong lifeforce. It¡¯s really helpful to the array.¡±


    Zhao Feng was happy.


    For every couple dozen meters of dark green vines that were engulfed, it was the same as devouring a Sovereign Lord Rank.


    The cultivation of the ghost-corpses within the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array were steadily rising, and after pushing forward dozens of miles, most of the ghost-corpses had reached the middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm, while a small number had reached the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    The child Demigod clicked his tongue as he watched. The dark green vines were an ancient plant that was extremely resilient against physical attacks, but they were heavily countered by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and the Demonic Hell Vines.


    As they progressed forward, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array devoured vines in the number of thousands, and its aura became more chaotic. At this moment, when all one hundred pairs of red eyes glared together, they could generate a surge of mental energy strong enough to suppress the Intent of normal Kings.


    Half a day later, the Demonic Hell Vines and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array managed to push forward about two hundred miles. All of the cursed ghost-corpses had reached the cultivation of the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, and a small number of them had reached the peak Small Origin Core Realm. The deadly power from the smoke was enough to make normal Kings avoid it.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat looked forward with excitement. The dark green vines seemed to have reached the end, and a brilliant glow of green appeared.


    ¡°We¡¯ve reached the source of green light.¡±


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod revealed joyful expressions.


    A brilliant green barrier appeared in sight after the limitless vines. The green barrier was enormous, and an ancient metal castle stronghold could be seen. The green barrier prevented the water from entering, and there were weird structures around the ancient castle. Tall towers, mysterious star-gazing buildings, a calm fountain¡­. All of it seemed as if it wasn¡¯t from this era.


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod both felt their hearts shake as an old and ancient aura came from the world of metal.


    ¡°These buildings all come from a supreme race. Could it be¡­?¡± the child Demigod had his own guesses.


    The world of metal was enormous.


    ¡°It seems to be the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race.¡±


    Zhao Feng remembered the description of a certain race from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races Ranking book. Amongst them, the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race that was ranked 3rd had created a glorious civilization. Their inheritances and secret realms were spread across the entire Fan Universe.


    The reason he guessed it was the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race was because there was information regarding them among the legends of the Pirate Emperor. Apparently, the Pirate Emperor had once found a secret realm of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race.


    The human, child, and cat slowly walked toward the green barrier. The green barrier blocked all the water and beings from the outside world.


    Although Zhao Feng and company might have the strength to pass through, they didn¡¯t dare to make any rash movements. The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race was ranked in the top three of legendary races.


    Although the history of this race had been lost to time, they still had a major effect on the present day. For example, the limitless ocean boats, mechanical automatons, zone teleportation arrays¡­ they were all left behind by the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race¡¯s civilization.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the array flag and headed toward a certain direction.


    Zhao Feng soon saw an open black iron door with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. The door was dozens of yards high, and two rows of mechanical guards stood at the entrance. Incredibly, there was a glow of red light in their eyes, and they looked at Zhao Feng with wariness.


    ¡°This is a forgotten city of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race. We welcome guests from afar,¡± the leading guard was clad in armor and held a giant blade.


    ¡°But there is a price to enter the city,¡± the guard added, and Zhao Feng and the child Demigod couldn¡¯t help but reveal a weird look.


    These automatons all had their own intelligence and could communicate with humans. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t find any signs of life with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Entrance fee?¡± Zhao Feng signaled to the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat took out a pile of middle-grade Primal Crystal Stones and handed it to the guard.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t enough,¡± the guard took the middle-grade Primal Crystal Stones and shook its head.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and started to bargain with the guard. The entrance fee was a shocking amount. The little thieving cat then handed over a bunch of high-grade Primal Crystal Stones, but the guard still shook its head, ¡°This isn¡¯t even one-tenth of the amount needed.¡±


    There was nothing Zhao Feng could do except hand over a huge amount of Primal Crystal Stones. The guard had no emotions and simply stuck to the rules.


    The guard slowly raised its hand after taking the Primal Crystal Stones, ¡°Guests from afar, please enter the city.¡±


    Zhao Feng almost rolled his eyes. These automatons were almost like thieves. One had to know that the Primal Crystal Stones he had just given were enough to buy several Earth-grade weapons.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat put away the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and led the way through the ancient iron doors. None of the guards stopped them.


    ¡°Three esteemed guests, you are not allowed to destroy any public building in the city or enter the forbidden areas. If you do, you will be kicked out of the city and possibly killed by us,¡± the guard with the giant blade warned, and Zhao Feng nodded in agreement.


    According to the analysis of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, the strength of the guard with the giant blade was enough to rival a King. Who knew how many more guards like this existed in the city? Would there be stronger ones? After all, this guard was just the protector of the entrance.


    Ta! Ta! Ta!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s footsteps sounded in the underwater world. He could see a group of soldiers every bit he walked.


    ¡°There¡¯s no aura of life here,¡± Zhao Feng scanned around with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and didn¡¯t find any aura of life.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat was extremely excited and led the way as it threw a few bronze coins into the air.


    They passed by many tall buildings on the way. Some could be entered while others had guards. The little thieving cat finally started to slow down when they reached a field with silver-colored floors. There was a fountain in the middle, and there was a faint music that made one¡¯s soul absorbed in it.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped into one of the nearby shops.


    This was a forgotten city that still had the appearance of its past, and it was still continuing to function even today. There were automatons cleaning on the streets.


    The little thieving cat had entered a shop that was filled with books.


    ¡°Guests from afar, what can I help you with?¡± a slim female automaton with a sweet voice and kind smile asked.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face twitched. What kind of weird city was this? The automatons in this ancient city were far better than those of the outside world.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws around and started to communicate with the female automaton. The little thieving cat then traded a middle-grade Primal Crystal Stone for a map. The price was far fairer than the entrance fee.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Zhao Feng saw that this map contained the layout of the entire city, and when he looked at each area, information regarding the places would appear.


    ¡°According to the information, there¡¯s an ancient toy store, an identification store, a mechanisms store, and a materials store nearby,¡± Zhao Feng glanced at the map.


    This place had everything that the Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces had and more.


    All the buildings had automatons inside.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped into a big building. The map said that this was a blacksmith tower, which mainly focused on creating and strengthening weapons.


    ¡°What can I do for you?¡± a large automaton with the appearance of a middle-aged man said.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat swiped its paw and a mysterious dark dagger appeared.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± the eyes of the middle-aged automaton lit up as it took the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger and started to inspect it. The little thieving cat then dove into the ancient metal ring and took out some precious materials and large amounts of Primal Crystal Stones.


    ¡°To add a numbing effect to this weapon will require a few more materials. You can buy them at the materials store opposite here,¡± the automaton blacksmith said.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat then ran toward the materials store.


    Several hours later, with the sounds of Ding! and Shu!, the middle-aged automaton took out the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger from a mysterious furnace. The heat on the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger started to fade, revealing a dark gray carving.


    ¡°Try its effect,¡± Zhao Feng was intrigued.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger and gently sliced the child Demigod¡¯s arm, leaving behind a small streak of blood.


    ¡°You¡­!¡± the child Demigod was shocked. A numbing sensation started to spread across the arm that was cut, then it spread throughout his body. The child Demigod had to quickly circulate the Golden Kun Sacred Body to get rid of it.


    ¡°The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race is indeed smart,¡± Zhao Feng was extremely surprised. Even the blacksmith grandmasters of three-star superpowers didn¡¯t have the ability to add a numbing effect to a legendary weapon such as the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger in just a few hours.


    ¡°Three esteemed guests, are there any other weapons that you need me to strengthen or create?¡± the blacksmith grandmaster said in a warm tone. There hadn¡¯t been any guests for a long time, and his shop used up Primal Crystal Stones every day.


    ¡°Can you look at this weapon?¡± an ice-blue spear started to form from Zhao Feng¡¯s palm.


    ¡°A weapon with the elements of Ice, Water, and Lightning. Rank Three weapon that has been severely damaged and only has part of its original abilities. After it¡¯s fixed, the power of its chill could rise by 80%, and it will be able to turn into a defensive ice armor, an ice dragon, and other states.¡±

 712 Heaven Defying Faction

    ¡°After it¡¯s fixed, the power of its chill could rise by 80%, and it will be able to turn into a defensive ice armor, an ice dragon, and other states¡­¡±


    Hearing what the blacksmith said made Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes light up, and he revealed a joyful expression. He always felt that the Ice Imperial Spear was damaged long ago, but he didn¡¯t expect that, after being fixed, the Ice Imperial Spear would be able to transform into different states. If that was the case, Zhao Feng¡¯s defense would become much stronger.


    ¡°Strengthen it,¡± Zhao Feng decisively paid up.


    He had many materials of the Ice element. After all, he had taken many resources from the Purple Saint Ruins, Demigod Forgotten Garden, and spoils of war from many Kings.


    The grandmaster smiled as it took the large amount of Primal Crystal Stones.


    Although Zhao Feng was pained by the price, it was much cheaper here than hiring blacksmiths in the outside world.


    The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race¡¯s civilization surpassed what people could even imagine, and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but remember the information he had read about the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race.


    The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race was a humanoid race that wasn¡¯t strong, nor was their bloodline powerful. In terms of fighting, they might not even be able to defeat a normal human, but they were the smartest. Their creativity and intelligence made others look up to them, including even the Ancient Race.


    The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race¡¯s city contained incredible things, and others could only sigh when they saw them. Thinking about it now, Zhao Feng thought that the entrance fee was worth it.


    An hour later:


    Ding! Ding! Bam!


    The blacksmith automaton took out an ice-cold blue spear from the mysterious furnace. This time, it was even quicker than the little thieving cat¡¯s item. Zhao Feng took the ice-blue spear, and he could feel the power of its chill.


    Weng~~


    The ice-blue spear seemed to turn into liquid and form a defensive icy armor on his body. The ice armor radiated a cold aura that could freeze any beings within several miles. As long as Zhao Feng wore this armor, anyone below the Void God Realm would be unable to get near him.


    The ice-cold armor then turned into two ice dragons that surrounded Zhao Feng and got into some offensive stances.


    Luckily, this was the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race¡¯s ancient city, and the chill was absorbed away by an unknown power.


    ¡°Not bad, not bad,¡± Zhao Feng was extremely satisfied as he merged the spear into his bloodline.


    The child Demigod watched with envy, but right now, he had a limited amount of Primal Crystal Stones and couldn¡¯t afford anything.


    The human, child, and cat walked out of the shop.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat took out the map and started to inspect it with Zhao Feng. The city still had some powerful stuff from the past, and Zhao Feng needed to use it to its fullest extent.


    ¡°The Ten Thousand Blood Palace can supply bloodlines and strengthen them?¡±


    ¡°The Well of Demonification can strengthen the battle-power of pets?¡±


    ¡°The Array Tower supplies arrays and methods to make them better¡­¡±


    ¡°The Divine Techniques Palace sells techniques and answers questions about cultivation.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze landed on the some of the better places. In comparison to these, the blacksmith shop was just a normal shop.


    These better places had incredible abilities. The Ten Thousand Blood Palace could even directly supply bloodlines.


    ¡°Apparently, the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race researched the origin of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines and even tried to copy it,¡± the child Demigod murmured, and the legends of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race were proved in this city.


    ¡°The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race can even supply the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races?¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t believe it, then walked into the Ten Thousand Blood Palace with curiosity.


    The Ten Thousand Blood Palace was enormous; it had fifty or sixty floors. Each floor contained ponds made of blood, and there were pipes that extended everywhere.


    ¡°Dear guest, do you want a bloodline, or do you want to strengthen yours?¡± an elegant female covered in blood-colored light smiled as she looked at Zhao Feng and company.


    Zhao Feng scanned over her with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and saw that the female also didn¡¯t have any signs of life.


    ¡°How much does it cost to acquire a new bloodline?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°It depends on what kind of bloodline you want,¡± the elegant female gently tapped her hand, and a screen came up with thousands of different bloodlines.


    ¡°Can you supply the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines?¡± Zhao Feng asked.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines? Hehe, those are the top bloodlines of the world and are extremely expensive. We¡¯ve collected the bloodlines of three hundred different races, which can be transplanted into you,¡± the elegant female reached out, and the screen instantly showed the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines.


    ¡°You really can?¡± Zhao Feng and the child Demigod were stunned.


    Of course, the bloodlines on the screen were mainly ranked in the hundreds or thousands. Only four or five races were ranked in the top hundred, including the Heaven Sun Battle Race bloodline.


    ¡°Permission is usually needed to get one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, but now that the owner of the city isn¡¯t here anymore and the city urgently needs Primal Crystal Stones to function, no permission is needed,¡± the elegant female explained.


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod glanced at each other. These were the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!


    However, Zhao Feng rolled his eyes when he saw the prices. The price for the Heaven Sun Battle Race bloodline cost more than everything Zhao Feng had. After all, it was ranked in the top one hundred.


    ¡°Sigh, this is already the price after a 50% discount. Whose fault is it that this city has lost its source of energy?¡± the female was depressed.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you make it a bit cheaper?¡± Zhao Feng was extremely moved by the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. His eye-bloodline only gave him a somewhat basic mixture of bloodline power.


    ¡°It¡¯s really expensive to transplant a bloodline, but if you already have a bloodline and want to strengthen it to the level of a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, the price might be one-third or even one-fifth of transplanting the bloodline,¡± the female said.


    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s try it,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head in agreement.


    They first needed to check his bloodline before strengthening it. Zhao Feng soon sat down in front of a weird machine with multiple arms, and the machine stabbed a needle into Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    ¡°Detecting an unknown bloodline, unable to be strengthened,¡± a sound came from the multi-armed machine.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. He forgot that his eye-bloodline was considered a type of special bloodline.


    ¡°Detecting the bloodline of the descendants of the Ancient Ice Water bloodline, a Dragon type bloodline and Ancient Race bloodline. It can be strengthened to the Mystic Ice Scaled Race, ranked 89th.¡±


    ¡°Because you have a strong bloodline foundation and a partial foundation of an Ancient Race, the price will only be one-tenth of transplanting a bloodline,¡± the elegant female revealed a weird expression as she told Zhao Feng the summary. She couldn¡¯t help but be curious as to what Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline was. Even the multi-armed machine wasn¡¯t able to detect it? Furthermore, he even had the foundation of an Ancient Race¡¯s bloodline.


    ¡°If you¡¯re willing to supply the source of the eye-bloodline, I can strengthen your bloodline for free,¡± a fiery look appeared in the elegant female¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°No thanks,¡± Zhao Feng immediately shook his head. Why would he give the secret of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye bloodline to others?


    ¡°Do you want to strengthen your bloodline to the Mystic Ice Scaled Race? This race¡¯s bloodline will double your bloodline¡¯s strength and triple your defense,¡± the elegant female said.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Zhao Feng agreed while the child Demigod watched with jealousy.


    Zhao Feng might not be able to afford the price of transplanting an entire bloodline, but since the foundation of his bloodline was already close to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, the price was only one-tenth as much. However, even that cost Zhao Feng a huge price.


    Finally, Zhao Feng spent almost half of the wealth inside his ancient metal ring and felt pained by the amount.


    After paying the price, Zhao Feng was taken to a coffin on the 45th floor.


    ¡°All you need to do is sleep for one day and one night,¡± the elegant female said, and a weird blue bloodline covered Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline. At the same time, dozens of needles stabbed into Zhao Feng¡¯s body and into his acupuncture points.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat played with the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger and waited with the child Demigod.


    ¡°Transplanting a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. This is heaven-defying ¨C a fortune that may not be found in a dozen millennia,¡± the child Demigod sighed. From his point of view, the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were priceless.


    If they hadn¡¯t entered this secret realm of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race, then they wouldn¡¯t be able to acquire or strengthen a bloodline to the level of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races no matter how wealthy they were.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline was strengthening to the Mystic Ice Scaled Race¡¯s bloodline, which was ranked 89th! The ranking of this bloodline was even higher than the Heaven Sun Battle Race. Of the bloodlines that could be chosen here, the Mystic Ice Scaled Race was ranked within the top three.


    ¡°May I ask if the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race¡¯s Ancient Race Revival Plan succeeded or not?¡± the child Demigod asked curiously.


    The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race was the smartest and most creative race in the world. Ancient records said that this race had countless plans, and some of the most famous ones were the Time Machine Plan and the Ancient Race Revival Plan.


    These plans were full of ambition. The Time Machine¡¯s purpose was to travel through time and change the course of history, as well as obtain limitless resources. To do this, the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race tried to capture the Light Race, wreaking destruction that could ruin entire civilizations.


    The Ancient Race Revival Plan was to try to obtain the Ancient Race¡¯s bloodline.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± the elegant female was surprised. ¡°You actually know about that plan? Either way, that¡¯s the secret of the Heaven Defying Faction of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race, so I don¡¯t know anything about it.¡±


    ¡°Heaven Defying Faction! As I thought!¡± the heart of the child Demigod trembled, and he became extremely excited. He had almost touched the secrets of the legends.


    Although the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race was a species, there were two factions amongst them. One was the Heaven Defying Faction and the other was the Sage Faction.


    The Heaven Defying Faction was also known as the ambitious faction that went against the heavens. They wanted to replicate and control the most powerful bloodlines in the world, whereas the Sage Faction wanted to follow the heavens and support Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°If I¡¯m correct, this is a secret city left behind by the Heaven Defying Faction,¡± the eyes of the child Demigod twinkled.

 713 Successfully Merging Techniques

    ¡°You know quite a lot. The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race created us, but unfortunately, many powerful races teamed up and attacked the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race, destroying a lot of knowledge and history,¡± the elegant female seemed to remember the past. At the same time, she looked at the child Demigod. This kid isn¡¯t simple.


    The child Demigod was also inspecting the female. She didn¡¯t have true life, but she was able to replicate the emotions and expressions of a human. All of this was created by their masters, the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race, ranked 3rd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    ¡°That cat led the way here right?¡± the elegant female¡¯s gaze landed on the little thieving cat.


    The child Demigod paused, and Zhao Feng who was lying in the coffin also revealed a weird look.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat crossed its paws smugly.


    The elegant female smiled, ¡°There¡¯s a blurry impression of this type of cat in my memories.¡±


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng was stunned, but unfortunately it was only a blurry impression so he couldn¡¯t get much information out of it.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat harrumphed like it was dissatisfied and waved its paws, symbolizing that it was the only one in the world. Thinking about the little thieving cat¡¯s incredible abilities and craftiness, the child Demigod had to admit that it would be hard to find a cat similar to it.


    Time slowly passed while Zhao Feng was soaked in the ice-blue water. Incredibly, his body was like a magnet as it quickly absorbed the blue blood. In just half a day¡¯s time, the blue blood was fully absorbed by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°It went much faster than I imagined. The ancient bloodline in his body is unusual,¡± the elegant female was surprised.


    Zhao Feng slowly opened his eyes, and he could feel the blue blood coursing through his body.


    Weng~~


    A set of brilliant ice-blue dragon scales covered his body. They were extremely delicate and beautiful.


    Zhao Feng felt a dominating Ice power inside his bloodline. It was as if his every action and movement could create supreme coldness with effects similar to an Ice Domain.


    ¡°So, this is the power of a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline,¡± Zhao Feng was extremely excited. It was as if he had limitless power of Ice, and his body became far stronger.


    The Overwhelming Prodigy Goddess Bing Wei from the Azure Flower Continent, who also had an Ice bloodline, was nothing in comparison to this.


    ¡°Let¡¯s test it,¡± Zhao Feng slowly got up and took a deep breath as a dominating coldness started to fill the air.


    Si!


    The child Demigod and the little thieving cat both felt a chilling coldness sweep into their souls.


    Under the orders of Zhao Feng, the child Demigod and the little thieving cat both unleashed attacks.


    Pa!


    The child Demigod¡¯s golden fist containing 70% of his strength landed on Zhao Feng.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body slightly shook, but there was no mark left behind on his smooth and beautiful scales. The Intent contained in the child Demigod¡¯s fists was extremely strong and it vibrated into Zhao Feng¡¯s heart and soul, but it wasn¡¯t enough to deal any damage to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°What strong defense! My hand¡­!¡± ice started to spread across the child Demigod¡¯s fists and attack his body.


    Any attack that got close to Zhao Feng would become sealed in ice.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat slashed the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger toward Zhao Feng.


    Ding!


    A thin gash was left behind on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder, and a numbing sensation started to spread across it. The Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger had the ability to ignore physical defense since its attack was between the physical realm and the realm of shadows.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline had strong defense and recovery speed. On the other hand, the little thieving cat became so cold that it started to shiver, and it immediately jumped back ten meters.


    ¡°This bloodline power contains both offense and defense at the same time. The effect of freezing is everywhere, and it¡¯s even stronger than Wen Luoan¡¯s Heaven Sun Battle Race,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction.


    Wen Luoan¡¯s Heaven Sun Battle Race was only ranked 98th while Zhao Feng¡¯s Mystic Ice Scaled Race was ranked 89th.


    ¡°Congratulations, the bloodline strengthening is perfect,¡± the elegant female smiled and said, and envy appeared in the child Demigod¡¯s eyes. Although he was extremely talented in body-strengthening, he didn¡¯t have a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. If he had a stronger bloodline like that with stronger recovery capabilities, he might have broken past the God Tribulation. However, bloodline was something that could only be obtained with luck.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s luck is way too good! He¡¯s able to meet fortune so easily,¡± the child Demigod was jealous. Now that he thought about it, the little thieving cat was also a huge help to Zhao Feng.


    ¡°I probably won¡¯t be able to enter this place again in the future,¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    The Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance was only open for a maximum of half a month, and he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to come here anymore. However, Zhao Feng had already spent over half of his Primal Crystal Stones on this bloodline, and he couldn¡¯t afford to add another Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.


    ¡°Do you have any bone-strengthening bloodlines? It doesn¡¯t need to be from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races,¡± Zhao Feng asked. He had read the list, and the price of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines were usually dozens, if not hundreds of times more expensive.


    ¡°There¡¯s a total of two hundred and forty-nine types,¡± the female once again pulled out the screen. Zhao Feng looked at it, and the prices were much cheaper.


    ¡°I need a large amount to strengthen ghost-corpses like this one,¡± Zhao Feng waved his hand and summoned a cursed ghost-corpse.


    ¡°Let me check it first,¡± the elegant female was extremely direct, and the multi-armed machine started to inspect it.


    ¡°Found the foundation of the Ancient Race bloodline and bone-strengthening body¡­.¡± a voice sounded from the multi-armed machine.


    The result surprised both Zhao Feng and the female. Bone-strengthening body was normal since all the cursed ghost-corpses had this body, but the foundation of the Ancient Race bloodline was not.


    ¡°If they have the foundation of the Ancient Race bloodline, the price will be one-fifth or even one-tenth of the original,¡± the elegant female said. Zhao Feng then started to look through the screen.


    He needed a hundred of them, and he asked the elegant female to give her opinion.


    ¡°I suggest using the Ten Thousand Withering Ghost Bone. It can preserve the power of hatred and can even recover broken parts,¡± the elegant female said.


    Zhao Feng looked at it and saw that the Ten Thousand Withering Ghost Bone bloodline¡¯s defense and offense weren¡¯t too strong, but after it was used, it would strengthen the bones of the ghost-corpses by double. After all, these ghost-corpses weren¡¯t as strong as Zhao Feng, so even if they didn¡¯t use a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, the increase in strength was enormous.


    The specialty of the Ten Thousand Withering Ghost Bone bloodline was its lifeforce. Even if their bones were shattered, they could be recovered.


    ¡°The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array doesn¡¯t need the ghost-corpses to kill the enemies personally, it just uses the power of the array,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Withering Ghost Bone bloodline was relatively cheap. The cursed ghost-corpses had absorbed the aura and meat from the Ancient Dream Realm, giving them a foundation of the Ancient Race bloodline. This meant that the price was only one-seventh of the original. Altogether, the price for the hundred cursed ghost-corpses¡¯ strengthening combined wasn¡¯t even one-quarter of Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    ¡°A hundred ghost-corpses will need seven days,¡± the elegant female said.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and left the skeletal Division Leader with the cursed ghost-corpses. The skeletal Division Leader also had the Ten Thousand Withering Ghost Bone bloodline applied to it, which was extremely good for it.


    Zhao Feng then started to walk around the ancient metallic city.


    ¡°I only have 30% of my wealth remaining¡­.¡± Zhao Feng felt really poor. He had gathered huge amounts of resources from the Purple Saint Ruins, Demigod Forgotten Garden, and during the fight for Pirate Emperor, but he already spent 70% of it in this city alone.


    The child Demigod obviously knew Zhao Feng¡¯s situation and didn¡¯t make any excessive demands. It was already good that Zhao Feng didn¡¯t do anything extra to restrict his progress.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng came to the Divine Techniques Palace. The Divine Techniques Palace supplied secret techniques and answers to cultivation.


    There were secret techniques that exceeded even the Wind Lightning Inheritance and the Golden Kun Sacred Body here for sale, but the price wasn¡¯t much lower than transplanting a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.


    ¡°Guests from afar, do you have any requirements on the skills you want?¡± a scholarly elder formed from white light smiled kindly. He revealed a weird look when his gaze landed on the little thieving cat, but it quickly disappeared.


    ¡°I want to strengthen my techniques,¡± Zhao Feng went straight to the point.


    He had the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique, the Golden Kun Sacred Body, and the Wind Lightning Inheritance on him. Zhao Feng¡¯s aim was to use these as the basis and merge them together.


    ¡°Let me see,¡± the scholarly elder smiled faintly. Zhao Feng knew that this elder was just an image of an automaton and couldn¡¯t actually cultivate.


    Zhao Feng sent the information for the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique, the Golden Kun Sacred Body, and the Wind Lightning Inheritance to the elder.


    ¡°En, I have information similar to these three techniques in my information bank. Amongst them, I even have the original copies of the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Body,¡± the elder smiled confidently, and the child Demigod was stunned.


    ¡°I can strengthen the Golden Kun Sacred Body to the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, which will lower the requirement for body-strengthening talent and be more suitable for you to cultivate,¡± the scholarly elder paused for a moment, and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but become overjoyed while the child Demigod¡¯s mouth dropped wide open.


    The scholarly elder continued to speak, ¡°I can also merge the Wind Lightning Inheritance and the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique to create the Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, which will increase its power dramatically and get rid of the requirement for a Lightning Spiritual Body.¡±


    Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique!


    Zhao Feng was even happier.


    The Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was a combination of the Wind Lightning Inheritance and the Five-Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique, removing both of their weaknesses. Of course, the price for it wasn¡¯t low.


    ¡°As your Wind Lightning Inheritance added something to my information bank, I can give you 40% off.¡±


    ¡°Merge them,¡± Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and spent almost all the remaining wealth he had.


    Three days later, the scholarly elder handed two books of light to Zhao Feng.


    Weng~~


    The two books merged into Zhao Feng¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body: using lightning to cultivate the supreme Sacred Lightning Body. Can reach the Heavenly Divine Realm when cultivated to the maximum.¡±


    ¡°Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique: using Wind and Lightning as the foundation to control the five elements ¨C the Metal of Wind Lightning, the Wood of Wind Lightning, the Water of Wind Lightning, the Fire of Wind Lightning, and the Earth of Wind Lightning¡­.¡±

 714 Testing the Little Thieving Ca

    Zhao Feng looked over the requirements of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and the Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. They were much lower than the originals, and their power had increased. The Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body surpassed the Golden Kun Sacred Body by an entire level.


    ¡°Ridiculous¡­!¡± the child Demigod clenched his fists and was filled with jealousy. He had given the Golden Kun Sacred Body to Zhao Feng only because he knew Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be able to cultivate it to a high degree within the next thousand years, but Zhao Feng had somehow absorbed the power of the God Tribulation Lightning into his soul, and now that the requirements of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body had decreased, Zhao Feng would be able to cultivate it easily. The power of the skill had risen, and it was now connected to the Dao of Lightning.


    ¡°I forgot to tell you that the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and the Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique are techniques that complement each other,¡± the scholarly elder added.


    The Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was a body-strengthening technique, but it needed the Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique to support it. If one didn¡¯t have the Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, it would be hard to cultivate the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body.


    ¡°The merged skills are indeed different,¡± Zhao Feng used the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to copy all the contents, but the smile on his face didn¡¯t last very long as he saw the direction of where the Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique headed.


    ¡°The Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique is split into a total of twelve levels. The first three use Wind and Lightning as the foundation, then it starts cultivating Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth from the fifth level onwards. The five elements then start to circulate¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows locked together.


    The Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique did indeed surpass the Wind Lightning Inheritance, but Zhao Feng had already cultivated the Wind Lightning Technique to a high level, and it walked a different path from the Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    ¡°If I want to cultivate the Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique¡­ doesn¡¯t that mean I have to restart cultivating?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s face twitched.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, but with your foundation in the Wind Lightning Technique, you will surpass the current you within ten years,¡± the scholarly elder didn¡¯t disagree.


    Ten years?


    Black lines appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s forehead. Although ten years wasn¡¯t very long for others, ten years was the total amount of time Zhao Feng had spent cultivating to reach his current level.


    If everything was peaceful and quiet, Zhao Feng would definitely be willing to cultivate the Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and use it to complement the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. After all, these two techniques could allow him to go further. However, Zhao Feng was currently facing the Pursuit of Death. How could he have time to restart cultivating?


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing perfect in this world,¡± the child Demigod felt a bit better and started to gloat. Zhao Feng¡¯s current situation was like having a mountain of treasure but nowhere to spend it.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng¡¯s expression continuously changed, and he finally made a decision. He obviously couldn¡¯t restart cultivating with the Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body right now; it simply wasn¡¯t realistic.


    ¡°I¡¯ll decide after the Pursuit of Death is over,¡± Zhao Feng started to calm down.


    It was already a great fortune that he was able to enter the city of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race. Even Demigods would be jealous of him.


    Zhao Feng walked out of the Divine Techniques Palace expressionlessly.


    ¡°It¡¯s just ten years. Young people these days are in too much of a rush,¡± the scholarly elder sent Zhao Feng away with his eyes and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head.


    Within the ancient city, Zhao Feng slowly walked around and counted the wealth he had in his ring.


    The ancient metal ring was basically empty. Over 90% of his wealth had been used up. Right now, he was extremely poor. He could only sigh as he looked at this city that was filled with fortune.


    Several days later, within the Ten Thousand Blood Palace.


    ¡°All one hundred cursed ghost-corpses now have the bloodline of the Ten Thousand Withering Ghost Bone race,¡± the female said with a smile, and Zhao Feng inspected all of the ghost-corpses. They were all skinnier and more skeletal, but their strength had doubled.


    After merging with the Ten Thousand Withering Ghost Bone bloodline, their ability to survive had increased dramatically. They could be fixed even if their bones were shattered. Furthermore, with the merging of the bloodline, their cultivations also increased by a little bit. As of right now, the cultivations of the cursed ghost-corpses were all between the late-stage and peak Small Origin Core Realm.


    This power was enough to wipe out the Ten Great Clans of the Azure Flower Continent.


    The skeletal Division Leader had also merged with the Ten Thousand Withering Ghost Bone bloodline.


    ¡°Master¡­!¡± the skeletal Division Leader was filled with excitement. It never thought that it would have such a day.


    Even with just the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion of the past couldn¡¯t be compared to it. If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Feng, it wouldn¡¯t have been able to reach this step.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction and put the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array away.


    ¡°I still have less than 10% of my wealth remaining¡­¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes started to spin before landing on the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat had an unusual bloodline that should be at least on par with the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines.


    ¡°Can you help me find the history of this cat¡¯s bloodline?¡± Zhao Feng asked in a deep tone.


    ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m also very interested in the cat¡¯s history. I¡¯ll check it for free,¡± the female smiled and said.


    Even the child Demigod was curious. Ever since he had revived, he was constantly bullied by this cat. If he could learn the background of the cat, he might be able to think of some plans to deal with it later. Thinking up to there, the child Demigod was looking forward to it.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat walked to the multi-armed machine, and a needle stuck itself into the little thieving cat¡¯s body.


    However, the multi-armed machine didn¡¯t say anything even after several breaths.


    Weng~~~


    The multi-armed machine suddenly shook and stopped checking. The female revealed a stunned look and she inspected the little thieving cat in disbelief.


    ¡°Heaven¡¯s Legacy Cat, a mysterious bloodline that requires the highest permission,¡± the multi-armed machine said emotionlessly.


    Heaven¡¯s Legacy Cat?


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod looked at each other. Neither of them had heard of this race before.


    ¡°Sorry, this regards the highest level of secrets,¡± the female seemed to know something, but she wasn¡¯t allowed to say anything.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat went back to Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder smugly, and the elegant female looked at the human, child, and cat trio with a complicated expression. She wasn¡¯t able to find out anything about Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline, and the little bit of information she had about the little thieving cat¡¯s bloodline was the highest secret.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± Zhao Feng said goodbye to the female and left the Ten Thousand Blood Palace.


    He still had less than 10% of his wealth remaining, but he didn¡¯t know how he should use it.


    I won¡¯t be able to meet such fortune again even in a dozen millennia, Zhao Feng thought.


    How should he spend his last remaining bit of wealth? It was very likely that he would never have the chance to come here again.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng arrived at the Array Tower, which supplied certain arrays and could strengthen arrays as well. Zhao Feng¡¯s aim was to strengthen the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. After all, this array was constructed from the Purple Saint Partial Spirit¡¯s idea, the remnant of a Sacred Lord, and it had almost reached its potential.


    ¡°Guests from afar, what can I do for you?¡± a female formed from light and dressed in a gown asked.


    Zhao Feng went straight to the point as he took out the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array and the one hundred cursed ghost-corpses.


    ¡°This isn¡¯t hard,¡± the female in the gown had a noble and elegant aura, and she agreed straight away. After this, Zhao Feng¡¯s last remaining bit of wealth was used up.


    Several hours later, a brand-new Ghost Corpse Cursed Array appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    ¡°The new array is 60% stronger, and it has the ability to create illusions and stall opponents,¡± the female in the gown said confidently.


    ¡°Great!¡± the skeletal Division Leader was filled with excitement as it took the array.


    Zhao Feng touched his empty ancient metal ring and couldn¡¯t help but sigh as he walked out of the Array Tower.


    ¡°Who knows if I¡¯ll be able to enter this place again in the future?¡± Zhao Feng sighed.


    The human, child, and cat left the ancient city.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression stiffened when he walked out of the dark green barrier.


    Demonic Hell Vines surrounded the ancient city. Within just ten days¡¯ time, everything was covered in Demonic Hell Vines.


    ¡°There¡¯s eight Demonic Hell Vine Kings?¡± Zhao Feng understood the situation from sensing the Demonic Hell Vine King he controlled.


    The eight Demonic Hell Vine Kings were all almost as strong as a King, and they had reached the limit. Without saying anything else, Zhao Feng opened his eye-bloodline and controlled the other seven Demonic Hell Vine Kings.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng left the ocean with eight glass bottles sealed in ice. Each of the eight bottles contained a Demonic Hell Vine King.


    Of course, the leftover vines still didn¡¯t stop growing. Several days after Zhao Feng left, the forest of vines almost reached the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race¡¯s city.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several large ships, each several hundred meters long, flew out from the city and threw down some weird orbs.


    Boom!


    These orbs turned into terrifying black flames that wiped out all the vines in the ocean, leaving behind only ashes.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng had already returned to the island at the center.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes scanned over the secret realm and felt as if that city wasn¡¯t the only secret here. What everyone knew about the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race was just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe what Zhao Feng saw in that city was also just the tip of the iceberg.


    However, the secret of the Pirate Emperor had been unveiled. Dozens of millennia ago, the Pirate Emperor found the Heaven¡¯s Legacy secret realm, but he was unable to control this place even though he was a Mechanisms Grandmaster and an Array Grandmaster. The Pirate Emperor then used this place to set up his inheritance. Emperors and Sacred Lords weren¡¯t able to break into his inheritance since it was in the secret realm of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race.


    In the middle of the Eighteen Corners Canyon, the whirlpool summoned a terrifying power of Heaven and Earth that was enough to crush anything standing in its way.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance is coming to an end¡­.¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s voice echoed across the Ship of Death.


    At this moment, apart from Wen Luoan and the Yin Yang Lord, there were two other Death Spirit Lords as well. There was a male and a female that were both covered in darkness.


    ¡°Three Death Spirit Lords and twenty-six Death Guards. Master will also be here shortly within a couple days. Zhao Feng, let¡¯s see how you will escape this time!¡± a cold smile appeared on Wen Luoan¡¯s face.

 715 Power of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races Bloodline

    On the center island of the Heaven¡¯s Legacy secret realm, within the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance Sacred Land, Zhao Feng returned. When Zhao Feng came back, the eighteen peaks all had their respective Pirate King.


    The cultivations of some Pirate Kings had obviously increased. Amongst them, three half-step Kings had broken through to the Void God Realm with the help of their inheritance.


    The center mountain was covered by a mixture of weird black-and-white light.


    ¡°The Cold Moon King¡¯s Inheritance still hasn¡¯t ended yet?¡± Zhao Feng found a corner and sat down while he squinted and looked at it.


    Usually, the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance wouldn¡¯t last longer than half a month. However, he wasn¡¯t in a rush, so he started adjusting to his new bloodline.


    Weng~~


    A thin layer of delicate blue scales appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s body. The blue blood in his body continuously circulated. The Ice Imperial Spear had also merged into this new Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.


    ¡°Bloodline power¡­ even the Ice Imperial Spear became stronger?¡±


    Zhao Feng was very satisfied. Although he didn¡¯t obtain any inheritances or top-tier resources in the Heaven¡¯s Legacy City, it was a rare encounter. Zhao Feng only hated that he wasn¡¯t wealthy enough. The entire wealth he had obtained from the Purple Saint Ruins, the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and the Pirate Sacred Land had all been used up.


    Of course, in comparison to what he got, it was all worth it. The bloodline of a Ten Thousand Ancient Race was priceless. Furthermore, Zhao Feng had also received the Five-Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. His cursed ghost-corpses and their array had both been strengthened as well.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat played with the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger and seemed to be very satisfied.


    ¡°Little thieving cat!¡± the child Demigod appeared and started to communicate with the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat nodded its head and started to move together with the child Demigod around the center island. The center island that had just calmed down started to break out into chaos. The two ran around the center island and stole resources from the pirates.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed together, but he didn¡¯t stop them. He knew that the child Demigod needed resources urgently, which is why he teamed up with the little thieving cat. As long as they didn¡¯t go overboard, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t really care. After all, these pirates weren¡¯t nice people either.


    In just half a day¡¯s time, the child Demigod and the little thieving cat had gathered a considerable sum of Primal Crystal Stones.


    Fear and panic spread out across the island, and the pirates were all angry. Amongst them, there were several Pirate Kings that had been knocked out and their resources stolen.


    ¡°Master, this is your half,¡± the child Demigod gave half of the resources to Zhao Feng and split the rest with the little thieving cat evenly.


    These two know how to bribe? Zhao Feng revealed a weird expression, but just a while later, the Giant Shark King led four or five Pirate Kings and a group of pirates and walked over.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, your pet and slave are going around stealing from others, including those from the same alliance as you. Their actions are horrendous,¡± the Giant Shark King said, and Zhao Feng glared at the little thieving cat and the child Demigod.


    Not only had the two stolen from the Giant Shark King¡¯s subordinates, they had also stolen from those under the Cold Moon King. After all, the pirate forces were complex. The little thieving cat and child Demigod couldn¡¯t recognize all of them.


    ¡°You pirates are fighting on the island. The stronger one wins. My pet and slave are just joining in on your game,¡± Zhao Feng said steadily, and the expressions of the pirates stiffened.


    To fight for resources and fortune, the pirates had fought against each other even if they were from the same alliance. The only difference was that they didn¡¯t dare to do it so openly.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± the child Demigod snickered, ¡°Dumb pirates. If it weren¡¯t for my master and I, do you think you would have been able to open the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance so easily?¡±


    The older Pirate Kings were instantly speechless. In the fight against Emperor Mu Yun, Zhao Feng and the child Demigod both played a critical role.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance is split into eighteen different inheritances, and I didn¡¯t take any of them. I¡¯m giving you younger pirates a chance,¡± Zhao Feng said righteously.


    Hearing that, two of the new Pirate Kings had nothing to say. Zhao Feng and the child Demigod didn¡¯t take any of the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance.


    ¡°Of course, if any of you are unwilling, we can spar a little,¡± Zhao Feng was still sitting down. The aura of his bloodline and soul suppressed the group of pirates.


    The Giant Shark King¡¯s expression kept on flickering. Zhao Feng became more and more mysterious, including the golden-skinned child and mysterious cat. One had to know that this trio was too disdainful to look at even the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, since you are willing to take the blame for your pet and slave, then take a fist of mine. See if you have the ability to protect them or not,¡± the Giant Shark King said in a deep tone.


    ¡°Hehe, Giant Shark King, if you want to test out my strength, you don¡¯t need to go in circles,¡± Zhao Feng laughed.


    The Giant Shark King wanted to blame him but didn¡¯t know Zhao Feng¡¯s true strength, and over the past couple days, the latter had disappeared somewhere.


    ¡°Good, good, good! As expected of you. I would like to test your real strength,¡± the Giant Shark King laughed out loud, and the two soon stood on an empty patch of land with no one near them.


    ¡°Ancient Strength!¡± the Giant Shark King roared as his shell-like skin expanded. His body started to enlarge and turn into a half-human half-shark state. He was twice the size of a normal human.


    Pa!


    His punch seemed to shake the air. An ancient shark bloodline aura and terrifying physical strength made the hearts and bloodlines of the pirates watching tremble.


    ¡°The Giant Shark King¡¯s punch is just a test. He didn¡¯t even use the power of his domain,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was normal.


    The iron fist glinted with a gray light, and the power contained within it was enough to kill a normal King.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s try this¡­¡± Zhao Feng stood still and started to circulate his blue blood. A delicate set of scales that seemed like a dragon¡¯s appeared on his body. In that instant, surges of ice eroded across a ten-mile radius around him, and the weaker pirates were immediately sealed in ice.


    Hu~~~


    Ice appeared on the Giant Shark King¡¯s fist before the attack arrived, and an ancient cold aura made his heart tremble slightly. The Giant Shark King¡¯s shark bloodline became suppressed and began to tremble uneasily.


    ¡°This bloodline, could it be¡­!?¡± the Giant Shark King exclaimed.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s scaled icy palm perfectly blocked the Giant Shark King¡¯s punch. The fist and palm clashed, and an enormous force spread and cracked the ground. If this was in the outside world and not the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Sacred Land, it would be enough to destroy a normal island.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng and the Giant Shake King were both pushed back, and neither of them seemed to be injured, but the Giant Shark King¡¯s arm was slightly stiff and covered in ice.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline¡­ you¡­!!?¡± the Giant Shark King was stunned. In the instant just now, Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline suppressed his own bloodline, and he could only use 50-60% of his bloodline strength. Zhao Feng¡¯s physical body wasn¡¯t much weaker than his either.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his cultivation was higher and he had awakened his bloodline to a further stage, he would have been utterly defeated just now.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng has a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline!? He¡¯s hidden himself so deeply!¡±


    The expressions of the pirates all changed dramatically. A legendary bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races had appeared on a youth.


    ¡°As expected of the Mystic Ice Scaled Race, ranked within the top one hundred. It allowed Zhao Feng to fight against a Peak-tier King, someone that¡¯s several small ranks higher than him. Granted, the Giant Shark King didn¡¯t use his Domain or his strongest True Yuan,¡± the child Demigod sighed in admiration.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was almost at the peak Great Origin Core Realm. Between him and the Giant Shark King were still the half-step King, early-stage, middle-stage, and late-stage King, and finally, Peak-tier King.


    ¡°Mystic Ice Scaled Race, ranked 89th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­.¡± the Giant Shark King took in a cold breath and was unable to calm down. One had to know that his bloodline was also unique and close to the strength of a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. He was the only one that was able to clash with Emperor Mu Yun head-on, even though only temporarily.


    However, the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were ranked. Many of these legendary bloodlines were now extinct. Although it was called the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, only a thousand or so were truly recorded. Those that were ranked within the top one hundred had their own heaven-defying abilities.


    ¡°Inheritance bloodline¡­¡± Zhao Feng sat down and closed his eyes. Information regarding how to use his bloodline appeared in his mind, and although there was just a small amount of it, it was already more profound than the Wind Lightning Inheritance.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we¡¯ve underestimated you,¡± the Giant Shark King took a deep breath and left with the other pirates.


    They had to admit that Zhao Feng now had battle-power comparable to a Peak-tier King. After all, he still had outstanding speed and that mysterious eye-bloodline.


    A Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline¡¯s lifeforce and recovery speed were countless times stronger than normal bloodlines. Furthermore, the child Demigod and little thieving cat were also mysterious.


    As time passed, Zhao Feng¡¯s name spread across the island.


    At a certain moment in time:


    Weng~~


    The black-and-white light in the center mountain started to gather, and a powerful soul aura spread across the air along with an Imperial Power.


    ¡°That aura¡­!¡±


    The bodies of the pirates on the island froze, and a light flashed through Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance isn¡¯t to be underestimated. Apparently, it can create Emperors extremely quickly. Looks like it¡¯s true¡­.¡± the child Demigod looked toward the mountain with a complex expression.


    A female with a blade and sword on her back looked down coldly as moonlight covered her. She wore a crown, and her expression was icy.

 716 Meeting the Death Guards Once More

    ¡°Greetings, Pirate Emperor!¡± the pirates all bowed down.


    The Cold Moon King had exited from the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance, and the sky was filled with a frosty silver moonlight, as if they had entered space. The moonlight filled the entire area, and the pirates felt as if their bodies were cut by sharp knives. The cold Intent travelled into their souls. If it was necessary, one thought of hers could slice anything into ten thousand pieces.


    ¡°So fast¡­!¡± the fear in the Giant Shark King¡¯s eyes was replaced by respect.


    Precisely said, the Cold Moon King was now the Cold Moon Emperor.


    ¡°Peak Void God Realm. Her soul has reached the maximum, and she has an incredibly high compatibility with Heaven and Earth,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw the changes in the Cold Moon Emperor.


    Her spatial domain had become one with Heaven and Earth nearby. There was no flaw in it. Apart from that, the mysterious crown she was wearing also caught Zhao Feng¡¯s eye. This mysterious crown was somehow connected to the eighteen peaks and the center mountain.


    Not only had the Cold Moon King become an Emperor, the mysterious crown had also given her a type of protection.


    ¡°Greetings, Pirate Emperor!¡± the Pirate Kings all went forward and gave their respect and loyalty. The mysterious crown she possessed could summon the Pirate King Tokens.


    ¡°Cold Moon Emperor, congratulations. You are now the supreme ruler of the Pirate Sacred Land,¡± the Giant Shark King squeezed out a smile and bowed. Even though he was at the Peak-tier King level, he had to bow to the Cold Moon Emperor. The Pirate Emperor could summon the other Pirate Kings, and they ruled the Pirate Sacred Land. This was the law of the Pirate Sacred Land.


    The Cold Moon Emperor¡¯s strength and status had reached a peak.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, this is all thanks to you,¡± the Cold Moon Emperor revealed a rare smile and gratitude.


    Shua!


    In just one step, she arrived next to Zhao Feng. It was as if she had appeared out of thin air.


    Zhao Feng was shocked. Even Emperors didn¡¯t have the ability to move several thousand miles in one step.


    ¡°I¡¯ve become the new Pirate Emperor, and I¡¯m protected and strengthened by the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land. This is limited to ten years, and during that timeframe, I can¡¯t leave the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land,¡± the Cold Moon Emperor explained.


    Although the people that obtained the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance were able to become Emperors quickly, not all Pirate Emperors were able to become true Emperors so quickly. It was because the Cold Moon Emperor was a Peak-tier King before and was almost an Emperor already that she was able to break through so quickly.


    Those that became the Pirate Emperor would be protected by the Pirate Emperor Sacred Land. The protection of the Pirate Emperor¡¯s crown allowed the Cold Moon Emperor to remain unafraid of any Emperor for the next ten years.


    Right at this moment:


    Weng~~


    An invisible suction force appeared from the ocean, and they were unable to resist this power.


    ¡°The Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance Sacred Land will be closing,¡± the Cold Moon Emperor gave the order and led the pirates to leave. Zhao Feng put away the ghost ship and sat on the Cold Moon Emperor¡¯s ship as they sailed through the giant whirlpool.


    In the outside world, in the center of the Eighteen Corners Canyon:


    Boom!


    Ships continuously started to appear from the center of the whirlpool, along with the auras of many Kings and Emperors.


    The strength of the Pirate Kings had all increased dramatically after their trip, and Zhao Feng felt that the connection between his ghost ship and the Pirate Sacred Land had been cut. Right now, he was no longer restricted, and he could leave with the ghost ship anywhere.


    Several thousand miles away in the depths of the limitless ocean:


    ¡°Reporting to the Death Spirit Lord, the pirates have come out,¡± a Death Guard half-knelt on the deck.


    ¡°Has Zhao Feng come out?¡± Wen Luoan¡¯s face was filled with impatience.


    Shua!


    Another Death Guard appeared at this moment.


    ¡°Report! Bad news! The new Pirate Emperor has now become a Void God Realm Emperor,¡± this Death Guard said.


    Void God Realm Emperor!


    The expressions of the Yin Yang Lord and the other Death Spirit Lords all changed dramatically. The pirate alliance had many Kings already, and now there was an Emperor. That wasn¡¯t good.


    ¡°The new Pirate Emperor will be protected by the Pirate Sacred Land and will be extremely hard to defeat,¡± a black-robed female said. She had a pale expression and was surrounded by weird white-colored flames. All her skin was pale-white, as if she was a ghost. She was also a Death Spirit Lord.


    The other Death Spirit Lord was a male shrouded in darkness that didn¡¯t seem to have any mass. His pair of dark green eyes seemed to just float in the air.


    ¡°Witch King, Dark Soul King, tell your subordinates to conceal the aura of their Tokens of Death, and tell the Death Guards to spread out,¡± the Yin Yang Lord ordered.


    ¡°An Emperor has appeared¡­.¡± unwillingness appeared on Wen Luoan¡¯s face. Right now, instead of chasing after Zhao Feng, they needed to hide from him.


    ¡°All we need to do is keep an eye on Zhao Feng. Master is resting and will arrive several days later. Everything will come to an end then,¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s voice was raspy and echoed throughout the air. Of the four Death Spirit Lords, the Yin Yang Lord was a Peak-tier King, and he was the strongest of them.


    ¡°I will take revenge. The Black Hell Lord died for me once and still hasn¡¯t recovered yet¡­.¡± Wen Luoan clenched his fists together as murderous intent filled his eyes.


    When they entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Wen Luoan had taken in a Death Spirit Lord using a secret method, but the laws of the Demigod Forgotten Garden were extremely strong, and outside forces couldn¡¯t be used. At the end, when he self-destructed, the Black Hell Lord took the brunt of the explosion head-on and was destroyed.


    At that moment in time, Wen Luoan¡¯s cultivation even dropped, and although the Black Hell Lord still had part of his soul remaining, he still hadn¡¯t recovered. Therefore, only three Death Spirit Lords had come.


    ¡°Luoan, just wait a bit longer. When Zhao Feng leaves the Pirate Sacred Land or the Emperor arrives, everything shall come to an end,¡± the pale-white Witch King said.


    At the center of the Eighteen Corners Canyon:


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re really not going to come to my banquet? I still owe you a favor,¡± the Cold Moon Emperor smiled and said.


    Only when her eyes landed on Zhao Feng was her coldness replaced by a faint smile. It was as if she was looking at a younger brother.


    ¡°To the most honorable Pirate Emperor, this subordinate still has urgent matters and cannot stay. I hope Your Highness might understand,¡± Zhao Feng half-joked.


    Although his words were respectful, his tone wasn¡¯t. After their battle of life and death, they were friends.


    ¡°Fine, I won¡¯t force you, but if you have any troubles, you can come find me. I shouldn¡¯t be leaving the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land within the next twenty years,¡± the Cold Moon Emperor was disappointed.


    Normally, when Pirate Emperors became Void God Realm Emperors, they didn¡¯t want to be the Pirate Emperor for the rest of their life. The aim of Emperors was the peak of the Great Dao ¨C the truth behind immortality. The Heavenly Divine Realm was their target, and the rewards from being a pirate would become less and less attractive to an Emperor.


    Of course, due to the rules of the Pirate Crown, the Cold Moon Emperor still needed to stay here for at least ten years, and since she was fond of this place, she would stay another ten or twenty years before leaving and trying to break through to higher realms.


    ¡°Goodbye,¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t stay any longer.


    Whoosh!


    The ghost ship flew through the air and disappeared from the gazes of the Pirate Kings.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng is really mysterious. From the beginning till the end, he didn¡¯t seem to be interested in becoming a Pirate King or even Pirate Emperor,¡± the golden-haired male and the long-bearded male looked toward the direction of the ghost ship.


    ¡°Does it look like I can see through him? The golden-skinned child and that cat are both mysterious as well,¡± the Cold Moon Emperor murmured.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s arrival didn¡¯t just mean they fought together. From a certain degree, he had changed her destiny. After becoming a Void God Realm Emperor and the new Pirate Emperor, her life would be very different from now on.


    A day later, the ghost ship flew through the air and reached the edge of the Eighteen Corners Canyon Pirate Sacred Land.


    ¡°Master, the new Ghost Corpse Cursed Array has been successfully constructed,¡± the skeletal Division Leader reported.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng sat down, but his expression was serious and his eyebrows were locked together.


    ¡°Little Kun Yun, can you feel it?¡± Zhao Feng suddenly spoke.


    ¡°Indeed, someone seems to be spying on us. I originally thought it was the pirates, but we¡¯re about to leave the Pirate Sacred Land already,¡± the child Demigod nodded his head.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat also appeared and threw some bronze coins into the air.


    The child Demigod glanced at the little thieving cat. In the underwater city, they had called the little thieving cat a Heaven¡¯s Legacy Cat, but there was no such race in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races or their descendants.


    ¡°The Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race is split into the Heaven Defying Faction and the Sage Faction. Could this cat¡¯s divination skills be related to the Sage Faction?¡± the child Demigod said in a low tone.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng snickered and disappeared from the ghost ship.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng stood on the deck as his gaze landed on the depths of the ocean a thousand miles away.


    Instantly:


    ¡°Dammit, I¡¯ve been found!¡±


    A dark shadow flashed across the ocean.


    Whoosh!


    Seeing that his tracks had been uncovered, the Death Guard turned into a dark streak of light and flew through the limitless ocean.


    ¡°At my fastest speed, I¡¯m comparable to a King. There¡¯s hope for me to survive until reinforcements arrive,¡± this Death Guard was ranked in the top ten of the thirty-six Death Guards.


    He sent messages with his Token of Death as he flew. He let out a breath after flying out ten thousand miles at once.


    ¡°I¡¯ve finally escaped. Apparently, the target has killed Domain-level Kings before, and he even severely injured an Emperor in an ambush¡­.¡± the Death Guard let out a breath and murmured, but right at this moment, a youth with wings and a mocking expression appeared from the mist in front of him.


    ¡°How can it be you¡­!?¡± the Death Guard¡¯s expression changed dramatically.


    What kind of speed did this Target of Death have? It seemed as if he had been waiting in front for a long time.

 717 Death Spirit Hell Array

    Zhao Feng looked down at the Death Guard with mockery on his face.


    The Emperor of Death had a total of four Death Spirit Lords and thirty-six Death Guards.


    If this was two or three years ago, it would be a nightmare for Zhao Feng. Back then, even the lowest-ranked Death Guard was troublesome for Zhao Feng. He couldn¡¯t even escape from a measly Death Guard, but now, this Death Guard¡¯s eyes were filled with fear and panic as information regarding his target surfaced in his mind.


    None of the thirty-six Death Guards would be his match.


    The speed he displayed made this Death Guard helpless.


    ¡°There are no reinforcements nearby. I won¡¯t be able to survive,¡± the Death Guard was very experienced and didn¡¯t lose his calm.


    ¡°Demonic Bat Wing Shadows!¡± the Death Guard gritted his teeth as he started to burn his True Yuan and turned into a flaming bat that was dozens of meters wide. The bat¡¯s aura was chaotic, and it sent a mental energy screech that could charge into the soul. On top of that, the bat¡¯s speed was extremely quick; even normal Kings wouldn¡¯t be able to dodge it.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Zhao Feng snickered coldly and reached out with his hand.


    Boom!


    A Magnificent Power appeared in the air and enveloped the bat, instantly decreasing its speed. This was the difference between those who had King Intent and those who didn¡¯t.


    Pa!


    A large scarlet claw descended from the skies and grabbed the bat.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t even have the ability to fight back at all¡­.¡± the heart of the Death Guard shook. He felt as if his consciousness and body were locked in the air. He realized that it wasn¡¯t just luck that Zhao Feng could kill a Domain-level King.


    ¡°If I can¡¯t survive, then¡­!¡± insanity born from despair appeared in the Death Guard¡¯s eyes as his soul and True Yuan started to bloat, like air pumping into a balloon.


    ¡°Hehe, you want to self-destruct?¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly as his left eye glinted. The next instant, a strong surge of Eye Intent completely froze the Death Guard¡¯s body in mid-air.


    ¡°What¡­!?¡± the Death Guard had lost all control of his body, and he wasn¡¯t even able to think. He had never seen someone with such strong Eye Intent apart from the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Soul Search!¡± a wicked surge of soul-power came from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and charged into the Death Guard¡¯s soul.


    With Zhao Feng¡¯s current mastery over the Dao of the Soul, searching a soul was easy for him. In reality, one could use some mental energy techniques or Soul techniques even if they didn¡¯t have an eye-bloodline. It was just that the power of the skill would become stronger if there was an eye-bloodline, while the speed of release and the usage of energy would decrease.


    A breath or two later, Zhao Feng waved his hand, and a surge of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning turned the Death Guard¡¯s body into ashes. The Death Guard¡¯s soul and physical body were both completely destroyed, unlike last time where Zhao Feng was able to successfully defeat the Death Guard, but he was protected by the Token of Death and wasn¡¯t truly killed.


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡­.¡± Zhao Feng managed to obtain some information from his Soul Search, including how they tracked him.


    As Zhao Feng had weakened the Death Intent to a very low degree and he had trained the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, which sealed off the aura of his soul, the Death Guards and Death Spirit Lords found it hard to sense him. This was especially true after he had absorbed the God Tribulation Lightning and weakened the Intent of Death in his soul even further.


    Unless they were very close it was unlikely they could sense Zhao Feng. The only reason they could find Zhao Feng this time was due to Emperor Mu Yun. Zhao Feng¡¯s Void Space Eye Slash had left the aura of the Death Intent on Mu Yun¡¯s body, and the Yin Yang Lord realized this.


    ¡°The Emperor of Death took away Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s soul from several island zones away by using the Gaze of Death?¡± Zhao Feng was stunned.


    Using such a forbidden technique from several island zones away would expend dozens if not hundreds of times more energy. On top of that, his target was the soul of an Emperor!


    ¡°Luckily, the Emperor of Death¡¯s soul-power still hasn¡¯t recovered yet,¡± Zhao Feng felt slightly lucky.


    If Emperor Mu Yun was just a normal pirate, the Emperor of Death wouldn¡¯t need to pay much of a price even if he used the Gaze of Death from several island zones away, and he might even have been able to come over right afterward. Of course, normal pirates wouldn¡¯t require Zhao Feng to use the Void Space Eye Slash.


    ¡°Sky Locking Bow!¡±


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and scanned around the ocean while he held the bow.


    Weng~~


    Mysterious carvings appeared on the dark silver bow, and they seemed to be alive.


    Zhao Feng pulled back the bowstring as his purple hair blew in the wind.


    Whoosh!


    An eye-catching golden arrow flashed across the sky. In that instant, space itself seemed to be pierced through.


    At the same time, the body of a Death Guard froze, and he cried out. A piercing aura that seemed to be able to pierce through anything had locked on to his soul, and even the space nearby became heavy.


    Bam!


    A golden arrow seemed to appear out of nowhere and shot straight through his body.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± this Death Guard screamed as his body turned to ashes in front of the golden arrow and Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    The death of two Death Guards in a row obviously raised the attention of the other Death Guards and the three Death Spirit Lords.


    Aboard the Ship of Death:


    ¡°He¡¯s found our tracks,¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s voice was solemn.


    According to their plan, they were supposed to first keep an eye on Zhao Feng and await the Emperor of Death¡¯s arrival. Only then would it be absolutely safe and perfect, but Zhao Feng found them much sooner than expected.


    ¡°All Death Guards, listen! Go and attack the Target of Death!¡± an echoing voice sounded through the Tokens of Death and spread across the limitless ocean.


    Just a couple breaths later:


    ¡°Attack!¡± the two other Death Spirit Lords and the Death Guards received the news.


    Boom! Boom!


    Two surges of King Intent appeared in the air, and the ghost ship¡¯s speed started to decrease dramatically because of the pressure, as if it was in mud. At the same moment, the figures of the Death Guards one after another flew over and surrounded the ghost ship.


    The speed of the higher-ranked Death Guards was close to Kings, and the three Death Spirit Lords were closing in as well.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly, and he immediately spoke in a hushed tone, ¡°Little Kun Yun, little thieving cat, skeletal Division Leader¡­¡±


    If he was alone, Zhao Feng would definitely run away. No matter how strong he was, he wasn¡¯t arrogant enough to challenge three Death Spirit Lords at the same time, not to mention the addition of Wen Luoan, who had strength comparable to a King, as well as a bunch of half-step King Death Guards.


    However, today was different from the past. Zhao Feng was alone no more; he had a powerful slave and pet.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, set up the array. The Death Guards also have an array,¡± Zhao Feng ordered.


    As soon as he finished speaking:


    Hu~~~~


    A thick smoke covered everything within ten miles, and many pairs of red, gruesome eyes appeared. The difference between this and the array of the past was that there were also half-transparent, dark red chains of lightning within the smoke.


    The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had been strengthened in the Heaven¡¯s Legacy City.


    ¡°Little thieving cat¡­¡± before he finished giving the orders, the little thieving cat had already appeared on his shoulder.


    Miao miao!


    A faint silver-gray streak disappeared with a flash. Zhao Feng knew that the little thieving cat had its own plans and was in hiding to prepare.


    At this moment, the three Death Spirit Lords led more than twenty Death Guards and closed in. All the beings within several thousand miles became dead-silent.


    Zhao Feng and the ghost ship were surrounded. The three Death Spirit Lords and Wen Luoan blocked Zhao Feng off in each direction. Behind each of them were at least four or five Death Guards.


    ¡°Kekeke¡­. Although the Black Hell King isn¡¯t here, it¡¯s enough to use the Death Spirit Hell Array,¡± the Dark Spirit Lord couldn¡¯t help but lick his lips.


    As soon as he finished speaking, a blood-colored array flag appeared in the hands of the four. These four flags all burned with a gray flame, and the sound of ghosts screeching appeared. It was enough to make the everyone¡¯s hair stand up.


    Hu~


    In that instant, the four flags expanded to several hundred meters high, as if they were four massive poles.


    Weng~~


    A dark red haze filled the area within several dozen miles, and a flaming barrier could be seen at the border.


    Zhao Feng and the ghost ship were now in the dimension of Hell. The Death Spirit Hell Array was more profound than the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array in some ways, and it could form a spatial domain.


    ¡°The Death Spirit Hell Domain has been formed. That brat won¡¯t be able to escape even if he grows wings,¡± the Witch King was surrounded by a weird white flame, as if she was the king of ghosts.


    The Yin Yang Lord, Wen Luoan, and company all revealed a happy expression. The Death Spirit Hell Array was created by the Emperor of Death himself, and it needed four Death Spirit Lords that could protect the four cores. Apart from that, there were several Death Guards on each side that supported them.


    The strength of this array at its peak could even challenge Emperors, and even though Wen Luoan was replacing a Death Spirit Lord and they didn¡¯t have the complete thirty-six Death Guards here, the power of this array was still 70% of its full strength.


    ¡°Open the killing array!¡± the Yin Yang Lord exclaimed.


    The three Death Spirit Lords and Wen Luoan all used a special technique and thrust their palms toward the giant flags.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Thousands and thousands of blood-colored beams started to shoot around the dimension of Hell. Each of these blood-colored beams could pierce through half-step Kings and devour their essence.


    There were thousands upon thousands of them that shot through the dimension. Even Kings would be shot full of holes and turned into a puddle of water.


    Everything was restricted within the dimension of Hell. The barrier around the borders was covered by a gray flame that could even burn the soul.

 718 Hell Array Versus Ghost Corpse Array

    ¡°So, this is the Death Spirit Hell Array?¡± the scalps of Zhao Feng and the child Demigod tingled as they looked at the thousands upon thousands of blood-colored beams.


    What was more important was that they were in the Hell dimension, and even their souls couldn¡¯t escape.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The smoke of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was punctured full of holes by the blood-colored beams, which even injured some of the cursed ghost-corpses.


    If it was just dozens or hundreds of beams, it wouldn¡¯t be able to threaten the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. The power of the blood-colored beams would decrease as it passed through the mist. However, there were just too many of them. Tens of thousands of beams shot forward, and even normal Kings wouldn¡¯t be able to last in the Hell dimension for more than a few breaths, and they couldn¡¯t escape since their Yuan Souls wouldn¡¯t be able to break out of the gray flaming barrier.


    As the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array became fainter and holes started to appear:


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, condense the array,¡± Zhao Feng ordered.


    Shua!


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the array flag and compressed the array to a range of one mile, increasing its defense dramatically. Luckily, it had been strengthened in the Heaven¡¯s Legacy City, otherwise it would¡¯ve crumbled within a couple dozen breaths.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The occasional cursed ghost-corpse was pierced through by a red beam, but with the help of the Ten Thousand Withering Ghost Bone bloodline, they managed to quickly recover. The forte of the Ten Thousand Withering Ghost Bone bloodline was recovery, then defense. The change in offense wasn¡¯t much. Therefore, not only had the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array become stronger, its survivability had also increased.


    ¡°Hm? When did that brat¡¯s ghost-corpse array become so strong?¡± the three Death Spirit Lords and the Death Guards were extremely surprised.


    The Death Spirit Hell Array was one of the strongest killing arrays in the Ten Thousand Forest Sacred Land, and Zhao Feng¡¯s Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was able to block the chaotic attacks of the Death Spirit Hell Array?


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry. That ghost-corpse array will only be able to last for how long it takes to make tea,¡± the Yin Yang Lord said, but even then, the power of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array made the three Death Spirit Lords feel incredible. After all, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was controlled by only one person whereas the Death Spirit Hell Array needed a lot more.


    ¡°Kekeke¡­. I¡¯ll let you have a taste of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s true power!¡± the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s face went cold as it waved the array flag, and a hundred pairs of red gruesome eyes appeared in the smoke and released a terrifying surge of mental energy.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± the consciousnesses of the Death Guards outside the Death Spirit Hell Array almost shattered, but luckily for them, the gray flames around the border had the power to block some of the power, otherwise these Death Guards would¡¯ve died.


    The faces of some Death Guards went white as they barely managed to stabilize themselves, and the lower-ranked ones were already injured.


    That was just the start. The ghost-corpse smoke started to change once more. A bloodied white hand reached out toward the Death Spirit Lords and Death Guards outside the Death Spirit Hell Array.


    Weng~~


    The gray flames at the borders of the array started to faintly tremble.


    ¡°Hehehe, these hands of hatred are formed from devouring the souls of countless beasts and experts,¡± the skeletal Division Leader laughed.


    No one knew how many experts or beasts the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had now slain. Amongst them, there were even Sovereign Lords and Void God Realm Kings.


    Pa!


    A second hand of hatred reached out. Then the third and the fourth. These hands of hatred were a unique type of curse, and hatred wasn¡¯t really affected by the blood-colored beams of the Hell array. Only the gray flames at the border could somewhat diminish some of its power.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    ¡°Ahhhhh!¡±


    The screams from Death Guards outside the Death Spirit Hell Array sounded. Although only less than half of the power of the hatred hands managed to seep out, it was still critical against those below the rank of King.


    The expressions of the Yin Yang Lord and Wen Luoan changed dramatically. The latter¡¯s soul was still a bit weaker than an actual King¡¯s. Part of the power of the curse and the hatred even made his heart feel uneasy.


    ¡°Dark Soul Lord!¡± the Yin Yang Lord suddenly spoke and looked toward the male in darkness.


    ¡°Petty tricks!¡± the Dark Soul Lord snickered coldly as one of his hands held the array flag while the other hand glittered with a dark transparent light that split into four and aimed toward the four hands of hatred.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The four hands of hatred were pierced through by the mysterious dark light, then bounded together.


    ¡°Dammit¡­!¡± the skeletal Division Leader waved the array flag, but the hands of hatred were unable to escape the Dark Soul Lord¡¯s secret technique.


    The Dark Soul King existed in a unique state and had a type of Soul body. His attacking style was similar, and he could counter the power of the curse and the hatred to a certain degree.


    ¡°It¡¯s my turn now,¡± the sound of a female appeared. It came from the Witch King. She lifted her pale-white palm and a dark hole started to form.


    What happened next made the hairs of those nearby stand up; swarms of green bugs charged into the dimension of Hell like an insect tsunami.


    The blood-colored beams made way for the green bugs. At this instant, a river of bugs charged toward the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    A massive hole instantly appeared in the surface of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, but at the same time, a large wave of bugs turned into puddles of blood and water.


    ¡°Not good, these bugs¡­!¡± the skeletal Division Leader howled.


    There were just too many of them, and they started to bite the cursed ghost-corpses after charging into the array, while part of them attacked Zhao Feng and the child Demigod.


    Destroy! the child Demigod crushed these green bugs into bits with his fist, and Zhao Feng also destroyed hundreds of them with his Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning. However, the two realized that these bugs were all resilient against physical and soul attacks.


    However, their skills were unique and powerful; if it were a normal Sovereign Lord or half-step King in their place, one of their punches wouldn¡¯t even be able to kill ten bugs.


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod were able to handle the bugs, but the skeletal Division Leader and cursed ghost-corpses couldn¡¯t. Luckily, the power of hatred still had the ability to damage these bugs somewhat, otherwise the situation would¡¯ve been horrible.


    ¡°Little Kun Yun, block the hole. Skeletal Division Leader, turn the array toward Wen Luoan,¡± Zhao Feng ordered.


    Little Kun Yun roared and unleashed a large golden fist that destroyed large quantities of bugs.


    Shua!


    The three-year-old gold-skinned child blocked the hole and faced the sea of bugs alone.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    When these bugs bit the child Demigod, sparks flew everywhere, and they were crushed by the Golden Kun Sacred Body.


    ¡°The strength of that kid is so great?¡±


    The three Death Spirit Lords looked at each other with surprise. They only just recently learned about this child but didn¡¯t know much about him.


    Hu~~


    The skeletal Division Leader waved the array flag and started to press toward Wen Luoan¡¯s direction.


    ¡°Of the four ¡®Kings,¡¯ Wen Luoan is the weakest,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled, and his intention was clear.


    The four cores of the Death Spirit Hell Array should be four Kings. As long as they could kill Wen Luoan, the power of the array would decrease by at least 25%, and it would reveal some flaws. After all, the other three Death Spirit Lords were at least Domain-level Kings. The Yin Yang Lord was a Peak-tier King, but he hadn¡¯t made any movements yet. Just the Dark Soul King and the Witch King were enough to pressure Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    While the ghost-corpse smoke moved, the blood-colored lights kept on flying, slowing down its movement speed.


    ¡°Master, if we can¡¯t break out of the Death Spirit Hell Array within the time it takes to make tea, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array will crumble, and we will face the full power of Hell,¡± the child Demigod was watching the situation as well.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, don¡¯t put up any futile resistance,¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s voice echoed.


    At the same time, the four array flag holders started to rotate, and a blood-colored whirlpool suddenly appeared in the middle. The blood-colored whirlpool then created a strong suction force.


    As the four kept on moving around, the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array lost track of their direction, and the difficulty of catching Wen Luoan rose dramatically. On top of that, the blood-colored beams were putting up heavy resistance, and a dominating force appeared from the whirlpool that was enough to rip Void God Realm Kings into shreds.


    Zhao Feng and company had a hard decision to make. They didn¡¯t know whether to attack or retreat.


    Right at this moment, the strongest Yin Yang Lord attacked.


    ¡°Yin Yang Heaven Seal!¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s body became half-white and half-black.


    The instant he raised his hand, it was as if the sky had flipped around, and a large beam of black-and-white light appeared in the air.


    It was as if the sky had transformed into the figure of a hand, and its Intent was close to an Emperor¡¯s.


    Boom!


    The Yin Yang Heaven Seal descended from the sky and smashed toward the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. More precisely, the hole where the child Demigod was blocking.


    Bam~~~~!


    A loud explosion sounded as over half of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array crumbled and many cursed ghost-corpses shattered.


    Wah!


    The child Demigod was sent flying, and blood leaked from his mouth; ¡°This guy¡¯s strength is even slightly stronger than the Giant Shark King!¡±


    The Yin Yang Lord¡¯s battle-power was extremely close to an Emperor. He was unparalleled against everyone weaker than an Emperor.


    The attack just now had sent the child Demigod, Zhao Feng, and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array flying.


    ¡°As expected of the Yin Yang Lord. This guy has even blocked and stalled Emperors several times in the past,¡± the Dark Soul King and the Witch King were filled with respect.


    ¡°This is the end,¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s coldness merged into the Yin Yang Heaven Seal as he sent another palm toward the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°Not good!¡± the skeletal Division Leader screamed in panic as the entire Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, Zhao Feng, and the child Demigod were pulled toward the center of the Death Spirit Hell Array ¨C toward the blood-colored whirlpool.

 719 Breakthrough Poin

    The blood-colored whirlpool was at the center of the Death Spirit Hell Array, and its power could devour and refine Void God Realm Kings.


    Boom!


    The Yin Yang Heaven Seal pushed the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, including Zhao Feng, the child Demigod, and the skeletal Division Leader. At the same time, a strong pulling force came from the whirlpool.


    ¡°If we fall into the whirlpool, the array will break¡­!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped. If the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array broke, Zhao Feng and the child Demigod would have no more protection against the red beams and the secret techniques of the Death Spirit Lords.


    This was a moment of life and death.


    ¡°Little Kun Yun!¡± Zhao Feng roared as a pair of wings appeared on his back.


    ¡°Understood!¡±


    Zhao Feng and the Demigod could communicate easily with the Dark Heart Seed.


    ¡°Heaven Breaking Golden Fist!¡± the child Demigod¡¯s Demigod Intent and Fist Intent had reached an incredibly high level.


    The space around the Hell array started to shake as a brilliant beam of golden fist-light clashed heavily with the Yin Yang Heaven Seal.


    Booom!


    A large hole appeared in the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s hand seal, and the black-and-white screen started to tremble.


    ¡°This brat¡¯s Fist Intent seems to be even stronger than a normal Emperor¡¯s¡­.¡± the Yin Yang Lord was slightly shocked, but the difference in cultivation between the two was too big. The Yin Yang Lord¡¯s battle-power was unparalleled against anyone weaker than a King, and although the child Demigod¡¯s Fist Intent was profound, the latter was unable to break the former¡¯s technique with just one fist.


    The Yin Yang Heaven Seal was barely blocked.


    Bam!


    The child Demigod retreated dozens of meters and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    The Yin Yang Lord¡¯s strength, Intent, and soul were all close to the level of an Emperor. In one-on-one combat, Zhao Feng¡¯s chances of winning would be low even if he used his eye-bloodline.


    ¡°Master! Not good!¡± the skeletal Division Leader yelled as the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was pulled toward the whirlpool. After all, the child Demigod wasn¡¯t able to block all of the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s attack.


    At the very critical moment:


    Lightning Wings Wind Flash!


    A scarlet-colored light flew toward the center of the whirlpool.


    ¡°Ice Emperor¡¯s Seal!¡± an ice-blue spear that seemed to exist between the states of water and ice appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm and summoned an enormous mountain of ice.


    Boom!


    The mountain of ice glittered in the light and perfectly landed on the whirlpool. The entire Death Spirit Hell Array started to shake.


    Weng~~~~


    The mountain of ice landed right on the whirlpool, but the whirlpool started to devour the mountain, and the power of ice began to clash with the power of devouring. The mountain of ice was obviously at a disadvantage, and its aura became weaker.


    ¡°Seal!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes went cold, and a set of delicate blue scales appeared on his skin. An ancient freezing power merged into the ice mountain. The ice mountain instantly became twice as cold, and everything within several miles of Zhao Feng started to turn frosty.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The blood-colored beams started to slow down when they approached Zhao Feng, and their power decreased by 50-60% when they hit him.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s scales seemed to come from an ancient ice dragon, and his defense was incredibly strong.


    Siiii~~~


    The whirlpool showed signs of freezing and almost stopped spinning completely.


    ¡°So close!¡± the skeletal Division Leader stabilized the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, which was only dozens of meters away from the whirlpool, but luckily the whirlpool was momentarily frozen, so the suction force had disappeared.


    ¡°That bloodline aura¡­!¡± the Kings¡¯ and Wen Luoan¡¯s faces changed dramatically. The latter¡¯s Heaven Sun Battle Race bloodline trembled uneasily.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­ Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline!¡±


    ¡°How could he have it¡­!?¡±


    The three Death Spirit Lords and Wen Luoan were stunned. The pressure from the Mystic Ice Scaled Race made the bloodlines of the Death Spirit Lords and Death Guards feel uncomfortable.


    Using the strengthened Ice Imperial Spear, Zhao Feng and his Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline could momentarily stop the whirlpool and decrease the power of the array.


    ¡°Attack!¡± Zhao Feng roared as his faint purple hair blew in the air.


    As soon as he said that, the child Demigod and the skeletal Division Leader counterattacked. Zhao Feng could only suppress the whirlpool for a couple breaths, and it took a huge toll on his bloodline.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± the Yin Yang Lord snickered coldly as the outline of five fingers appeared in the sky and crushed down toward the child Demigod and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. The Dark Soul King and the Witch King also used techniques, suppressing the child Demigod and the skeletal Division Leader.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    Zhao Feng stood on top of the mountain and also faced the attacks of the blood-colored beams and the green bugs.


    Lightning Wings Wind Flash!


    Zhao Feng disappeared from the mountain of ice and dodged the Yin Yang Heaven Seal¡¯s radius. It was obvious he had given up on sealing the whirlpool in ice.


    Shua!


    While he was flying, a strong surge of Eye Intent came from his left eye.


    ¡°Watch out for Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline technique!¡± Wen Luoan exclaimed and tensed up.


    ¡°Limitless Maze!¡± the gaze of Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye landed on the strongest Yin Yang Lord¡¯s body. It was this Peak-tier King that was suppressing them so badly.


    ¡°Hmmm?¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s body shook as he was attracted to Zhao Feng¡¯s dreamy purple eye. The scenery around him suddenly changed. Everything in sight was replaced by a giant labyrinth.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± the Yin Yang Lord snickered coldly as the scenery in front of him started to melt like snow. Both his Intent and soul were close to the level of an Emperor.


    ¡°As expected of the strongest Death Spirit Lord. His gray flames also reduce the power of my eye-bloodline techniques by 30-40%,¡± Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. He was only testing things just now in order to understand the Hell array and how much it limited his strength.


    ¡°60% is enough,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    The Yin Yang Lord easily broke through the Limitless Maze illusion, and mockery appeared on his face, but he soon realized that something was off. Zhao Feng showed no signs of defeat; instead, he was smiling.


    ¡°No, watch out~~~~!¡± the Yin Yang Lord exclaimed as he remembered something. Amongst the people present, he had the greatest strength and could easily block Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline techniques, but that didn¡¯t mean others could.


    ¡°Mental Energy Spike!¡± a strong surge of purple-colored mental energy appeared from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and pierced through the gray flaming barrier.


    Boom!


    The gray flames weakened the mental energy spike by 40%.


    Whoosh!


    The remaining 60% hit Wen Luoan, who was in charge of an array flag.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡± Wen Luoan screamed. The pain felt by the soul was a hundred more times worse than pain to the physical body. Even though there was only 60% of the power remaining, it almost made Wen Luoan faint.


    Wen Luoan¡¯s soul-strength was only barely at a King¡¯s level, but the Mental Energy Spike was a direct clash of soul-strength, and Zhao Feng¡¯s was higher.


    The greater the difference in soul-strength, the higher the damage. The difference between Zhao Feng¡¯s and Wen Luoan¡¯s soul-strength was enormous, and even though the Mental Energy Spike was weakened by 40% due to the flaming gray barrier, Zhao Feng still had an overwhelming advantage.


    This Mental Energy Spike critically injured Wen Luoan¡¯s soul.


    ¡°Brat, die!¡± the Yin Yang Lord roared as his Peak-tier King Intent charged toward Zhao Feng and stopped his second round of attack. At the same time, the Dark Soul Lord and the Witch King increased their pressure as well.


    ¡°Hehe,¡± Zhao Feng laughed lightly as his wings fluttered gently and he dove into the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, blocking the attacks with the child Demigod and the array.


    ¡°Luoan, how¡¯s your injury?¡± the Witch King asked Wen Luoan. Wen Luoan¡¯s soul was critically injured and he lost control of the array flag, causing the Hell array¡¯s strength to decrease dramatically.


    Right at this moment:


    Shua!


    A dark silver flash appeared and gave off a sharp glint of light.


    ¡°Watch out!¡± the Witch King¡¯s heart jumped, but her warning was too late.


    Shuuuuuu!


    A dagger that looked like a shadow pierced through Wen Luoan¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Wuu~~!¡± Wen Luoan tried to struggle, but his body went numb and started to fall down.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger, and a cold flash of light slashed through Wen Luoan and a couple nearby Death Guards.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    The bodies of the nearby Death Guards immediately stiffened as their lifeforce was instantly destroyed.


    ¡°Luoan!¡±


    ¡°Third Highness!¡±


    ¡°Get that cat!¡±


    The three Death Spirit Lords and Death Guards exclaimed.


    After one of the main cores was lost, the Death Spirit Hell Array¡¯s power was obviously much weaker, and it started to reveal some flaws.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat turned into a silver-gray streak and disappeared into the air.


    ¡°Little thieving cat¡­ good job!¡±


    The pressure on Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat decreased.


    Back when the enemies were setting up the Death Spirit Hell Array, Zhao Feng immediately saw that the weakness was Wen Luoan. Of the four array flag holders, Wen Luoan had the lowest cultivation, and Zhao Feng¡¯s attack against the Yin Yang Lord was just a small test to calculate the power necessary.


    If the little thieving cat were to ambush the Yin Yang Lord, its chance of success would be very low, and it would be in great danger. Zhao Feng¡¯s target was Wen Luoan who was relatively weaker, and he successfully broke through this point.


    Before the three Death Spirit Lords could react, the next round of offense had begun.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame!¡± a strong surge of eye-bloodline flames came from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye, and a ball of transparent scarlet-colored fire radiating a Destructive aura appeared. Within, there was also a wisp of the God Tribulation Lightning.


    Booom!


    The flames thundered toward the Witch King.


    ¡°Argh!¡± the Witch King¡¯s pale-white body was covered by the scarlet flames, and the aura of Destruction started to spread. Even though she was prepared, the chaotic attack made her panic.


    Weng!!


    A layer of ghastly white fire surrounded the Witch King¡¯s body and intertwined with the Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame. However, her flame of the Wicked Path was countered by the Intent of the God Tribulation Lightning and the power of Destruction, and her flames soon started to dim.

 720 Zhao Feng’s Counterattack

    The Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame lasted for an entire three breaths before dying out.


    The Witch King¡¯s white body was full of scorch marks that were hard to recover. There was also an indestructible aura remaining as well. This aura didn¡¯t just contain the power of Destruction, there was also the Intent of the God Tribulation Lightning since Zhao Feng had merged some of the God Tribulation Lightning into the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    His Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame was one of his deadliest skills, and it could pass through both the physical and the mental energy dimensions. The damage caused couldn¡¯t be calculated.


    ¡°Unfortunately, the Death Spirit Hell Array¡¯s barrier¡­¡± Zhao Feng was slightly regretful.


    His Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame had been weakened by only 30% since Wen Luoan wasn¡¯t in control of the array flag anymore, but if there was no array at all, the attack just now could¡¯ve maimed the Witch King and killed normal Kings. However, the Witch King was a Domain-level King and was not to be underestimated.


    ¡°This Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline can lock directly on to my soul!? My spatial domain¡¯s defense is so weak against it,¡± the Witch King¡¯s body and soul still hurt. The power of Destruction and the Intent of the God Tribulation Lightning that contained an immortal aura stopped her from recovering.


    ¡°Witch King! Watch out!¡±


    The Yin Yang Lord yelled as his Peak-tier King Intent crushed toward Zhao Feng, who was still in the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. He was worried that Zhao Feng would use another eye-bloodline technique right away, and they knew that he still had an even-more terrifying skill.


    The hand in the sky descended downward, and Zhao Feng, the child Demigod, and the skeletal Division Leader could only clash with the Yin Yang Lord. The skeletal Division Leader controlled several hands of hatred and started to erode the array while Zhao Feng and the child Demigod were the main offensive forces.


    Boom! Boom!


    The child Demigod used his Demigod Intent and clashed with the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s Peak-tier King Intent, causing the soul-dimension to shake. In terms of Intent, the child Demigod had the advantage, but his soul-strength wasn¡¯t as strong yet.


    ¡°There¡¯s also me!¡± Zhao Feng laughed as his purple hair blew in the wind, and a terrifying surge of soul-oriented eye-bloodline power came from his left eye.


    Bam!


    The dimension of the soul shook as a large purple eyeball appeared and seemed to look down on everything. His Eye Intent had appeared in this incredulous state.


    Wham! Boom! Boom!


    Thunder crackled alongside the appearance of Eye Intent.


    Doom~~~~!


    A loud explosion sounded in the soul-dimension, and even the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s body shook as he gave off a grunt.


    ¡°Materializing Intent? How is this possible¡­!?¡± the Yin Yang Lord couldn¡¯t believe it; he was full of shock. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his soul and Intent were extremely strong ¨C even more powerful than normal Peak-tier Kings ¨C he would¡¯ve been injured by Zhao Feng and the child Demigod¡¯s attacks. The mind of a normal King would be severely injured or even shattered.


    ¡°Heaven Sealing Palm!¡± the child Demigod pursued while they had the advantage, and he thrust out several slow palms. In that instant, the space nearby seemed to turn into mud. It was as if time itself had slowed down.


    Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Golden palms one after another started to lock on to the black-and-white screen in the sky.


    ¡°My Yin Yang Sky Seal¡­!¡± the Yin Yang Lord felt that his secret technique was being cut off from him, and the power he could add into it was being limited.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning!¡± the wings behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back fluttered as he summoned a storm of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning that smashed into the screen.


    Craaack!


    A large gap appeared in the black-and-white screen.


    Lightning Wings Wind Flash!


    Zhao Feng turned into an arc of lightning that could barely be seen.


    Whoosh!


    The arc of lightning instantly appeared near the Witch King.


    ¡°Watch out!¡± the Yin Yang Lord and the Dark Soul Lord warned at the same time.


    ¡°Take this punch!¡±


    The Scarlet Destruction Lightning Wings fluttered quickly as Zhao Feng summoned a raging storm spanning several miles wide. Any red beam that got close to the storm would fade away.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡± the Witch King had just calmed herself down from the Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame. She didn¡¯t panic since there was still the barrier of the Hell array in front of her; apart from her own defense, there was still another layer of defense in front of her.


    ¡°Ghost Protection Barrier!¡± the Witch King¡¯s pale hands crossed together, and countless screeching sounds appeared as a barrier condensed in front of her. This barrier was a dark orb, and a layer of ghastly white flames burned around it.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attack arrived at this moment.


    Crack!


    A fist covered in Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning brought a raging storm down upon the Witch King. This was his strongest punch yet; it contained utmost speed and the terrifying Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.


    Crack!


    The Hell array¡¯s gray flames and barrier were instantly shattered, and the rest of the barrier started to shake.


    Peng!


    The Witch King¡¯s body shook, and she felt her bloodline become suppressed. The Ghost Protection Barrier also started to dim while the ghastly white flames started to extinguish.


    ¡°What a strong attack!¡± the three Death Spirit Lords were stunned. If they were in a one-on-one fight with Zhao Feng, the Death Spirit Lords other than the Yin Yang Lord wouldn¡¯t be his match.


    ¡°Take another fist of mine!¡± Zhao Feng roared as his left eye released a strong surge of Eye Intent that charged toward the Witch King. A delicate layer of scales appeared on his skin, and an ice-cold force froze everything within ten miles. The power of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline froze the barrier and stopped it from recovering.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Witch King¡¯s body started to freeze, and cold air emanated from the Ghost Protection Barrier and ghastly white flames.


    ¡°Quickly! Go rescue the Witch King!¡± the Dark Soul King¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he spread his hand out.


    Whoosh!


    A several-hundred-meters-wide hand shot toward Zhao Feng within the soul-dimension. This Hand of Darkness was extremely unique; it was 70% soul-based and 30% physical-based. The 70% soul-based part of the attack contained different effects such as fear, panic, chaos. Normal Kings would need to be on their guard or they might lose their mind.


    However, facing the Dark Soul Lord¡¯s attack, Zhao Feng made no effort to dodge at all.


    Crack!


    The hand hit Zhao Feng¡¯s body, and a cold glow radiated from his scales.


    Siiii!


    The hand started to freeze and shatter bit by bit. As for the remaining 70% soul-based attack, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t affected at all. Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was almost immune to soul attacks. He had never been at a disadvantage facing soul attacks in his life. Besides, even though the Dark Soul Lord had a soul-based body and was talented in the Dao of the Soul, his soul-strength wasn¡¯t even as strong as Zhao Feng¡¯s.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­!¡± Zhao Feng laughed out loud as he took the hit head-on, and a cold glow of light started to condense in his palm before shooting toward the Witch King. This cold light contained the power of the Mystic Ice Scaled Race¡¯s bloodline. The force of it could send normal Kings flying.


    ¡°No~~!¡± fear appeared in the Witch King¡¯s eyes. Her mind and body had already been slightly injured by the Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame, and the Eye Intent afterward made her unable to breathe.


    ¡°Stop!¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s echoing voice sounded.


    ¡°Yin Yang Sky Splitting Sword!¡± a giant black-and-white sword glittered through the air and slashed toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Golden Emperor¡¯s Fist!¡± the child Demigod snickered coldly as he sent a golden fist to block the sword.


    Bam~~!


    The black-and-white Yin Yang sword managed to evade the child Demigod¡¯s attack and continue charging toward Zhao Feng without decreasing speed, but some of its power was lost in the process.


    At the exact same moment:


    Boom!


    The Witch King was sent flying by the punch. Blood leaked from her mouth, but it immediately froze. A terrifying coldness had frozen her bloodline, and the Ghost Protection Barrier turned into a bunch of frost that started to fall apart. Even her spatial domain was frozen.


    ¡°Brat, die!!¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s giant sword landed on Zhao Feng from behind. Although it had been partially weakened by the child Demigod, it was still extremely powerful; it was enough to kill normal Domain-level Kings.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Spear!¡± Zhao Feng made no effort to dodge. Instead, an ice-blue armor formed around his body on top of the scales. After the Ice Imperial Spear was strengthened in the Heaven¡¯s Legacy City, it could turn into different forms, including armor.


    Dang!


    The ice armor on Zhao Feng started to crack as the sword landed on it. Zhao Feng shook, but he was unharmed.


    Under the ice armor was a set of blue scales that seemed to come from an ice dragon. They were delicate and precise. A small bloody gash appeared on the blue scales, but it quickly healed.


    One had to admit that the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s attack was strong. It managed to break through the ice armor of Zhao Feng¡¯s Ice Imperial Spear even after being weakened by the child Demigod¡¯s fist.


    However, the Yin Yang Lord, the Dark Soul Lord, and the Death Guards were dazed. Zhao Feng¡¯s monstrous defense shocked both friend and foe alike.


    Zhao Feng had injured the Witch King, then managed to take the majority of the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s attack head-on without being injured.


    At this exact moment in time, while the Witch King was injured by Zhao Feng¡¯s punch and a layer of frost covered her, slowing down her speed:


    Miao miao!


    A silver-gray blur flashed by the Witch King¡¯s back.

 721 Increase in True Yuan

    ¡°It¡¯s that cat!¡±


    ¡°Watch out!¡±


    The Yin Yang Lord and the Dark Soul Lord saw a faint glimmer behind the Witch King. However, their attacks weren¡¯t fast enough. The Witch King was already injured, and a layer of frost covered her body, slowing her down.


    Shua!


    A silver-gray streak flashed by.


    Shu~~~~


    A dark mysterious dagger pierced through the Witch King¡¯s head.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± the Witch King¡¯s body stiffened as she released a terrifying screech. Blood splattered down her forehead, eyes, and face; she looked like a ghost.


    The Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger critically injured her and her lifeforce was being destroyed, but as a Void God Realm King, she had a strong soul, and she wasn¡¯t instantly killed.


    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡± the Witch King revealed a cruel smile as she turned into a several-meters-high flaming ghost.


    Hu~~~~


    A terrifying wave of ghost-flames spread from her.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat disappeared after the attack. It was extremely sensitive toward danger, so it escaped before the Witch King counterattacked.


    ¡°Witch King!¡± the Yin Yang Lord and the Dark Soul King revealed unwilling expressions. The current Witch King was using her lifeforce and soul to enter that state, and she was already injured before she entered the Flaming Ghost King state. When she returned to normal, she would most likely die.


    ¡°None of the subordinates of the Emperor of Death are simple¡­.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became serious.


    They reached this step and still weren¡¯t able to kill the Witch King. All the subordinates of the Emperor of Death were stronger than other people of the same cultivation.


    Right at this moment, the Yin Yang Lord and the Dark Soul King unleashed their attacks toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t scared of the Dark Soul King¡¯s attacks, but the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s battle-power was close to an Emperor¡¯s.


    However, all the attacks missed their target because Zhao Feng had disappeared.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Flying Technique!¡±


    A blurry light seemed to break through space itself as it flashed by. The next instant, a pair of Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning Wings appeared behind the Witch King.


    Shu~~~~!


    ¡°Wind Lightning Wings Slash!¡±


    The pair of wings released a Destructive aura as they slashed toward the Witch King¡¯s head. Incredibly, this attack was aimed right at the part where the little thieving cat had stabbed the Witch King. Furthermore, the Witch King had just entered this Flaming Ghost King state and hadn¡¯t stabilized yet.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± a scream of despair sounded.


    Lightning Wings Flying Technique!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw the change in energy within the Witch King¡¯s body and disappeared once more.


    Boom~~~!


    The flaming Witch King instantly exploded, turning into thousands of fireballs that shot everywhere.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s wings fluttered quickly and pushed him out several hundred meters, just out of range of the core explosion. However, even then, there was still pain coming from his scaled skin.


    ¡°Witch King!¡± the Yin Yang Lord and the Dark Soul King roared as they watched the Witch King self-destruct.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attack was as quick as lightning. When he attacked, everything was done in a flash, just like how the Wind Lightning Emperor used to be.


    With supreme speed, no one could withstand his attacks. This was the Wind Lightning Inheritance, an inheritance that aimed for utmost speed and damage.


    Miao miao!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s shoulder and nudged his neck. The cat and human were now outside the barriers of the Death Spirit Hell Array.


    Zhao Feng had flown out out the massive hole, and now that the Death Spirit Hell Array had lost two of the main array holders, its power decreased by over half, and it wasn¡¯t far away from crumbling.


    ¡°Right now!¡± the child Demigod charged to the front and led the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array toward the hole.


    The hearts of the Yin Yang Lord and the Dark Soul King fell. Zhao Feng had successfully defeated the Death Spirit Hell Array, and the little thieving cat had played a crucial role in this since attacks from outside the array were much stronger than from within the array, which was why it was so difficult for Zhao Feng to kill the Witch King.


    Lightning Wings Wind Flash!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s wings fluttered, but he didn¡¯t return to the array.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡± screams sounded from the Death Guards outside the Death Spirit Hell Array. Every time the Wings of Wind and Lightning moved, at least one or two Death Guards would be killed.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat played with the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger, and it could kill even phantom figures with it.


    Weng~~


    The Death Spirit Hell Array started to shake and become unstable. More and more holes and flaws were revealed. After all, these Death Guards also supported part of the array. After losing two array flag holders and a bunch of Death Guards, it was starting to break apart.


    The Yin Yang Lord and the Dark Soul King roared as they watched the Death Guards die.


    ¡°Yin Yang Sky Seal!¡± the Yin Yang Lord gave up on the array as half his body became white while the other half became black. The Yin Yang Lord raised his hand, and the sky above started to become eroded by a black-and-white light. It was as if the heavens had changed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure suddenly froze. It was as if he had fallen into mud, and his expression changed dramatically.


    Without needing to spend any attention on the Death Spirit Hell Array, the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s Yin Yang Sky Seal was stronger than before.


    ¡°Die~~~~!¡± the Yin Yang Lord waved his hand, and an enormous black-and-white palm appeared and seemed to blot out the sky. Heaven and Earth nearby were controlled by him as his attack smashed toward Zhao Fen.


    The range of the attack was too big, and Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t able to escape even with his Lightning Wings Flying Technique. The Yin Yang Lord¡¯s comprehension of Heaven and Earth was extremely close to an Emperor¡¯s.


    Zhao Feng could only clash with it head-on. An ice-cold armor had already appeared on his body, and the bloodline of the Mystic Ice Scaled Race was circulated to the maximum.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Covering the Sky!¡±


    The wings behind Zhao Feng suddenly expanded and became several hundred meters wide. With him as the center, everything within dozens of miles became covered by a Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning storm, and Zhao Feng¡¯s control of Wind Lightning rose dramatically at this moment.


    Ta!


    Zhao Feng gave a light roar and condensed his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline into his fist, summoning a raging storm that clashed against the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s attack.


    In this attack, Zhao Feng used all his True Yuan and bloodline power. At this moment in time, the aura of Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline power and True Yuan rose, and the Scarlet Destruction True Yuan reached a limit.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body shook, and his Scarlet Destruction True Yuan became stronger. It was even slightly stronger than normal Kings. In reality, the quality of Zhao Feng¡¯s True Yuan was already very high and not far off from the level of a King, which was due to the Ancient Dream Realm and the help of the Demigod blood. Now, the quantity of Zhao Feng¡¯s True Yuan broke through to the peak Great Origin Core Realm.


    He was only half a step away from the Void God Realm.


    Beng~~~~~


    A loud explosion sounded in the sky, and the Yin Yang Screen dimmed by 40%.


    ¡°That brat¡­!¡± the Yin Yang Lord was slightly dazed and in disbelief.


    Shua!


    The wings behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back started to shatter until they returned to their original size, and he flew toward the child Demigod and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. Blood dripped from Zhao Feng¡¯s mouth as he flew through the air.


    ¡°As expected of a Peak-tier King that¡¯s unparalleled against anyone below an Emperor,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s breathing rate quickened as he wiped off the blood.


    The difference in cultivation was just too big. Although he managed to block the attack just now, he was heavily injured, and he used up an enormous amount of his True Yuan. If only the quantity of Zhao Feng¡¯s True Yuan could reach the level of a King, he believed that he could easily fight with a Peak-tier King even without using his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    He was able to fight with a Peak-tier King at the Giant Shark King¡¯s level for a short amount of time, but if the fight dragged on, it would be bad for him. However, the Yin Yang Lord was stronger than the Giant Shark King; his Intent, battle-power, and soul were all extremely close to an Emperor¡¯s. Even Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline techniques weren¡¯t very effective against him.


    ¡°Master!¡± the child Demigod and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array successfully managed to get together with Zhao Feng, who let out a breath as he grabbed several treasures and resources to replenish his expended energy.


    With the child Demigod¡¯s and Ghost Corpse Cursed Array¡¯s help, Zhao Feng¡¯s chances of victory were much higher.


    On the other side, the Yin Yang Lord only had one Death Spirit Lord, a bit more than a dozen Death Guards, and a tattered array.


    ¡°Little Kun Yun, what you need to do now is stall the Yin Yang Lord,¡± Zhao Feng ordered. Even though the difference in cultivation was great, the child Demigod was able to suppress the Yin Yang Lord in terms of Intent.


    ¡°Yes, Master,¡± the child Demigod¡¯s skin became golden, and his Demigod bloodline potential was squeezed out. Through this fight, the child Demigod¡¯s strength was recovering faster.


    Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms!


    The child Demigod thrust out several palms.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Profound golden palms that seemed to twist Heaven and Earth shot out. Any place that fell into the radius of the golden light slowed down as if time itself was slowing down. The area around the Yin Yang Lord was locked and restricted.


    ¡°Who the hell are you!?¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s expression changed dramatically. Although he could still use his secret techniques, they were restricted and weakened. In terms of combat, the child Demigod wasn¡¯t his match, but the child Demigod was able to restrict his strength by using the supreme secret technique, the Heaven Sealing Palm. As long as the Heaven Sealing Palm continued, his actions and movements would be restricted.


    Even Emperor Mu Yun wasn¡¯t able to stop this, and the Yin Yang Lord was only a King.


    ¡°Good job!¡± Zhao Feng was happy. It looked as if the Demigod Revival Plan hadn¡¯t gone to waste.


    At the same time, a strong surge of eye-bloodline power came from his left eye, and a dark silver bow appeared in his hand. Victory was slowly tilting toward Zhao Feng¡¯s side. What he needed to do now was increase this chance.

 722 Gaze of Death Returns!

    ¡°Sky Locking Bow!¡±


    The dark silver bow in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand revealed mysterious markings as it glittered with silver. A shining golden arrow started to form on the bowstring, and a surge of sharpness that seemed able to pierce space emanated from it.


    The Yin Yang Lord on the other side felt his body go cold. It was as if some short of sharp aura had locked on to him. His Intent was already being suppressed by the child Demigod¡¯s Heaven Sealing Palm, so he obviously couldn¡¯t dodge the Sky Locking Bow¡¯s attack.


    Whoosh!


    The golden arrow shot through space in the blink of an eye.


    Bam!


    The golden arrow seemed to appear out of a portal as it hit the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s head. This arrow contained the power of Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning as well as the intent of the God Tribulation Lightning. On top of that, it contained the sharpness and the spatial characteristics of the Sky Locking Bow itself.


    This was the strongest arrow he had ever shot in his life; it could kill normal Kings and severely injure Domain-level Kings.


    Boom!


    The Yin Yang Lord was unable to dodge it, and his spatial domain had no effect. Even though he tried his best to move to the side, he was hit by the golden arrow.


    Siii!


    He couldn¡¯t help but groan as his black-and-white body twisted from the golden arrow¡¯s explosion. The Yin Yang Lord¡¯s body shook, and the explosion left injuries on him. Because the arrow hit his head, even his mind shook.


    ¡°Mental Energy Spike!¡±


    A cold, purple Mental Energy Spike surged from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and pierced the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s soul.


    The Yin Yang Lord faced the barrage of attacks, and a piercing pain came from his mind that caused cold sweat to appear on his forehead.


    In terms of soul-strength, Zhao Feng was around the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s level, but he was still slightly weaker. After all, the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s soul and Intent had almost reached the level of an Emperor.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s Mental Energy Spike was utilized through his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, and since he cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Dark Eye Secret Technique, his mastery and comprehension over the Dao of the Soul surpassed the Yin Yang Lord. On top of that, this Mental Energy Spike was a lightning-quick sneak attack.


    Pain surged from the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s mind as his soul was slightly injured. Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul had absorbed the power of the God Tribulation Lightning, so his Mental Energy Spike contained the aura of the God Tribulation Lightning.


    ¡°Yin Yang Lord, are you okay!?¡± the Dark Soul King exclaimed.


    The Dark Soul King was being stalled by the four giant hands of hatred from the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. A hundred pairs of red eyes formed a terrifying wave of mental energy within the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, and the smoke of the array once again extended to ten miles.


    The Death Spirit Lords had lost the Death Spirit Hell Array and were now truly at a disadvantage.


    ¡°Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms!¡±


    The child Demigod¡¯s palms kept on thrusting out and restricting the Yin Yang Lord. On top of that, he even used his Sacred Body fist techniques.


    With the combined forces of Zhao Feng and the child Demigod, they had successfully suppressed the Yin Yang Lord.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks could come from afar or from up close, and he had unstoppable eye-bloodline techniques. His speed was as fast as lightning, and his bloodline defense was even more monstrous than before; he could easily block attacks from Domain-level Kings.


    ¡°Divine Light of Destruction!¡±


    An eye-catching green beam of sharp light slammed past the Yin Yang screen and into the black-and-white light around the Yin Yang Lord. The Divine Light of Destruction could disperse anything, and the light of protection around the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s body started to dim and almost fully fade away.


    Not good! This is a rare type of dispersion technique! panic appeared on the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s face for the first time. His bloodline wasn¡¯t considered strong. It wasn¡¯t even as powerful as the child Demigod¡¯s, meaning that his defense was pure technique and skill. However, Zhao Feng had many eye-bloodline techniques that could counter him, including the Divine Light of Destruction that could disperse any type of technique.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s not over yet,¡± a faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    ¡°Ice Soul Shooting Line!¡± another ray of cold light thundered onto the Yin Yang Lord.


    Whoosh~~~


    A cold Intent started to erode the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s soul, and his body froze. Under the restriction of the child Demigod¡¯s and Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks, he finally revealed some flaws, and it was at this moment in time that the flaws were most obvious.


    Firstly, the Mental Energy Spike had injured his mind, so he wasn¡¯t at his peak state. Secondly, the Divine Light of Destruction had weakened his defenses and almost broke them apart. Thirdly, the Ice Soul Shooting Line had decreased his speed, and even his thoughts.


    Right at this moment:


    Miao miao!


    A silver-gray blur shot out from the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s side, and a mysterious dagger appeared as if it had come out of a portal.


    Shu~~~


    The Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger easily stabbed past the defensive shield and made blood splatter everywhere, but the blood soon froze.


    The Yin Yang Lord¡¯s body froze once more. The freezing effect of the Ice Soul Shooting Line and the numbing effect of the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger took their toll.


    In reality, if the Yin Yang Lord was at his peak, the freezing and numbing effects wouldn¡¯t really affect him. However, the Yin Yang Lord was being assaulted when he revealed a weakness.


    A strong sense of danger suddenly appeared in his heart.


    Shua!


    A several-meter-long transparent blade that glimmered with an aura of Lightning and Destruction slashed out from within the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s body.


    In that moment, blood filled the air. It couldn¡¯t be blocked.


    ¡°That move!¡± the Dark Soul King on the other side exclaimed, and fear spread across the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s face.


    The restriction, dispersion, and weakening were all preparation for this last Void Space Eye Slash.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    The soul-power in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye returned to normal. He had used up a lot of energy from the eye-bloodline techniques, but the transparent blade with an aura of Destruction had almost chopped the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s body in half and quickly started to destroy his lifeforce.


    ¡°Golden Emperor¡¯s Fist!¡± the child Demigod used this chance and sent out a golden fist that became bigger and bigger before smashing into the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s body, making blood spurt everywhere.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw that the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s organs and physical body had all been destroyed.


    ¡°Sky Locking Bow!¡± Zhao Feng remembered something and immediately took out the Sky Locking Bow.


    Weng~~


    A black-and-white Yuan Soul struggled and jumped out from the body.


    Whoosh!


    A golden arrow immediately shot through the body and made it explode, instantly injuring the Yuan Soul. With a whoosh!, it quickly sped off into the distance. The speed of this Yuan Soul surpassed even normal Emperors.


    ¡°Yin Yang Lord, I¡¯ll cover you!¡±


    Zhao Feng was about to fire another arrow, but the Dark Soul King charged over without caring how much of a price he would have to pay.


    The Dark Soul King¡¯s body forcefully expanded to several hundred meters. He became more of a ¡°devil,¡± and he radiated an aura of Destruction.


    This devil was covered in a black flame, and his battle-power reached the limit of a King ¨C extremely close to the power of an Emperor.


    The child Demigod¡¯s Heaven Sealing Palm and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array were barely able to stop him.


    ¡°Increasing your strength by using a secret technique¡­? However, your soul-strength still stays the same,¡± Zhao Feng snickered coldly.


    Facing this situation, he only sent out a single punch.


    Illusion Maze Domain!


    This punch contained a large Soul-based spatial domain. The Dark Soul King¡¯s senses instantly became chaotic, and he found himself in a large ancient city.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng, the child Demigod, and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array started to attack the Dark Soul King¡¯s vital points. Although his devil form was strong, it could do nothing but stand there and get beaten.


    ¡°Lord Dark Soul King!¡± the nearby remaining ten or so Death Guards yelled in fear.


    The Dark Soul King was being hit like a punching bag. He started to scream, but he could only walk around in circles.


    ¡°Dark Soul King!¡± the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s Yuan Soul was filled with unwillingness.


    ¡°We can¡¯t let the Lords die like this!¡± several higher-ranked Death Guards gathered together.


    ¡°All we can do now is ask the Emperor for help.¡±


    ¡°But the Emperor is still resting, and his soul-power hasn¡¯t fully recovered. Furthermore, he¡¯s extremely far away from here.¡±


    The Death Guards communicated with each other.


    ¡°How will we know if we don¡¯t try?¡±


    A total of nine Death Guards each took out a Token of Death and sent a special message.


    Around two breaths later:


    Weng~~


    The nine Tokens of Death all shook and connected with something.


    ¡°Great! We¡¯ve reached the Emperor,¡± the leading Death Guard was full of joy, and he quickly relayed the situation over.


    Immediately following that:


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Nine Tokens of Death floated into the air together. Each token was as black as ink and gave off an ancient aura. The word ¡°Death¡± was carved onto each one, and it gave off an aura of Death.


    The next instant, the nine Tokens of Death started to gather together until they formed a stunning Intent of Death.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!?¡± the hearts of Zhao Feng and the child Demigod shook, and their expressions changed dramatically.


    A pair of pitch-black eyes appeared and started to spin above the nine Tokens of Death. It was like a whirlpool that connected to the World of Death.


    ¡°Eye of Death!¡± the people present exclaimed.


    Great! the Death Guards and the Yin Yang Lord all sensed this and revealed joyful expressions, while Zhao Feng, the child Demigod, and the skeletal Division Leader felt the shadow of death cover them.


    ¡°So, this is one of the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes ¨C the Eye of Death?¡± the child Demigod took a deep breath. He felt as if he was in a freezer. His soul trembled uneasily as if he had no control over his life.


    ¡°Gaze¡­ of¡­ Death!¡± a cold voice resonated throughout the soul-dimension, and everything within ten thousand miles became dead-silent.


    The Eye of Death that had appeared in the sky was like the Heavenly Dao as it looked down from above directly toward Zhao Feng.

 723 God Eye Leaving the Body

    In the sky above the limitless ocean, a pair of pitch-black eyes looked down as if they were the Heavenly Dao. They contained a whirlpool that seemed to reach the World of Death.


    ¡°Gaze¡­ of¡­ Death!¡± a cold voice resonated across the ocean. At this moment in time, the Eye of Death had appeared and used the Soul Dao forbidden technique that was so famous across the Cang Ocean.


    Everything within ten thousand miles, be they humans, animals, beasts, were all covered by the shadow of death, and they started to tremble uneasily. They were unable to block this power. It was as if it was the Heavenly Dao itself.


    It was like an elder dying of old age; they couldn¡¯t stop the footsteps of death. The Intent of Death was similar to the Intent of Time. They were both powers that Heaven and Earth couldn¡¯t turn around.


    Zhao Feng was slightly familiar with the feeling of being unable to control his life. Back at the Purple Saint Ruins, when he faced the power of the Token of Death for the first time, Zhao Feng had such feelings. The only difference was that the ¡°Gaze of Death¡± from back then was only a simplified version, while this time, the Eye of Death itself appeared in the air; it was countless times stronger than before.


    ¡°This feeling¡­!¡± the skeletal Division Leader who was in the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array felt as if its soul was going to leave its body, and its soul started to scream. This was merely the shockwave from the Gaze of Death.


    ¡°The Eye of Death controls the Intent of Death and counters every living thing, especially souls¡­.¡± the child Demigod took a deep breath; he was shocked. Putting aside the fact that he hadn¡¯t even reached the Void God Realm yet, even if he did become a King or even an Emperor, he still wasn¡¯t confident he could block this power.


    Almost no one surpassed the Emperor of Death in terms of understanding Death and souls.


    Hu~~


    The child Demigod¡¯s breathing rate became quick as he felt his soul become pressured. Although the sensation of death and danger he felt wasn¡¯t as strong as what the skeletal Division Leader felt, the feeling of being unable to control his life made him feel uneasy. He couldn¡¯t help but look at Zhao Feng, the youth with wild purple hair who was the true target of the Gaze of Death.


    The Gaze of Death was technically considered a single-target attack skill, but since its Intent of Death was simply too strong, it could even pull away the souls of weaker beings nearby.


    Zhao Feng froze and started to struggle. An unstoppable power of Death covered his body. His soul and consciousness were enveloped by this forbidden power and were about to leave his body. Zhao Feng was almost unable to control his body, and sweat appeared on his forehead, but the willpower in his eyes didn¡¯t fade.


    ¡°Gaze of Death? This move again? Emperor of Death, can¡¯t you be a bit more creative?¡± the purple light in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye became stronger and stronger as it started to circulate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique ¨C the supreme Soul Dao technique ¨C in order to resist the pulling force.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye Intent formed a mountain that smashed into the black eye.


    ¡°This guy¡­!¡± the nine Death Guards were in disbelief as they were protected behind the Tokens of Death.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s resistance against the Gaze of Death was even stronger than Emperor Mu Yun. He even had the ability to counterattack.


    ¡°Gaze of Death? Hmph! How could I not be prepared for it?¡± a purple ocean appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye. Using his Eye Intent, he was able to resist the Gaze of Death even though it was a struggle.


    Zhao Feng had read the memories of a Death Guard beforehand, so he knew that the Emperor of Death used this technique to take away Emperor Mu Yun¡¯s soul.


    That was just one of the reasons, but there was another more important point; Zhao Feng had also comprehended the Dark Eye Secret Techniques earlier, which contained the techniques of the Emperor of Death.


    Although it didn¡¯t contain many offensive techniques or the description of the Gaze of Death itself, that didn¡¯t stop Zhao Feng from understanding how the power of Death worked. It was because of this that Zhao Feng was somewhat ready for the Gaze of Death.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely resilient against Soul Dao attacks to begin with, and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was a supreme secret technique that even other Emperors wanted.


    ¡°Emperor of Death!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s cold snickering resonated around the soul-dimension, ¡°You should¡¯ve needed a month of rest to fully recover your soul-power, but right now, only half a month has passed and you¡¯re already using a forbidden secret technique.¡±


    Hearing that, the hearts of the Death Guards and the Yin Yang Lord¡¯s Yuan Soul dropped. Forbidden techniques used a lot of energy, and the Emperor of Death was using it from such a great distance.


    ¡°You won¡¯t have any energy remaining if I¡¯m able to resist for ten breaths,¡± Zhao Feng used words to try to gain an advantage while he fought back.


    A cold glint appeared in the Eyes of Death.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re becoming stronger very quickly, but you¡¯ve underestimated the control that the Eyes of Death have over the laws of Death and Souls,¡± a chilling coldness sounded in the voice.


    Weng~~~


    The whirlpool within the black eyes started to spin, and the pulling force increased.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body started to turn cold as his lifeforce started to freeze. He knew that this was because the Eyes of Death controlled the laws of Death, and any living being would be countered by this power. Zhao Feng obviously wasn¡¯t excluded from the list of living beings.


    The suction force started to steadily increase, and Zhao Feng¡¯s soul started to weaken.


    I can¡¯t let this continue! Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold. His body was already cold to begin with, and he had lost control of it. The only thing he could control was his soul¡­ and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye that was resisting against the pulling force.


    However, the force from the Gaze of Death started to become stronger and stronger. Under the Gaze of Death, Zhao Feng¡¯s body became colder and colder as it got closer to death.


    With every breath that passed, Zhao Feng¡¯s resistance weakened. The spiritual form of a human was on the verge of being pulled out of Zhao Feng¡¯s body ¨C his soul.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was extremely strong; it was covered in a purple-colored lightning, and its aura was stronger than most Kings.


    ¡°Is this the end?¡± the bodies of the child Demigod and the skeletal Division Leader were frozen as the shadow of death enveloped them. Luckily for them, the Gaze of Death was focused on Zhao Feng, so the most they had to withstand was some remnant mental energy pressure.


    However, the second Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was about to leave his body, there was a strong resistive force.


    Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye suddenly squinted.


    Want to take away my soul? Only if you can take the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye away as well¡­.


    Zhao Feng struggled furiously. The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was his strongest and last line of defense.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul-power and eye-bloodline were extremely compatible with one another, and they were hard to separate. Back then, the whole reason Zhao Feng was able to merge with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was due to his soul, which was perfectly compatible with the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. If this weren¡¯t the case, the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye wouldn¡¯t have ¡°chosen¡± him.


    ¡°This is the protection of a God Eye¡­!¡± solemnness and wariness appeared in the Eyes of Death for the first time.


    The ninth God¡¯s Eye was an existence on par with the ancestor of his bloodline ¨C the God Eye of Death.


    ¡°Emperor of Death! Let¡¯s see how much longer you can last!¡± Zhao Feng roared in the soul-dimension.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye started to shake. As if it had been awoken from its slumber, a powerful aura started to radiate from it.


    Boom!


    The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye radiated an ancient and dominating aura that seemed to look down on everything in the world. In that instant, he seemed to become a god. His every thought could shake the sun and moon.


    ¡°That aura¡­!¡± the souls of both friend and foe alike started to tremble, as if they were ants.


    Insanity appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes. He had given up on defending against the Gaze of Death.


    Attack!


    The best defense was a good offense.


    ¡°Ha!¡± Zhao Feng yelled as his soul released an ancient aura that could shake stars. He circulated his Eye Intent as he gathered all his soul-power and shot it toward the dark eye in the sky. As he had given up on resisting, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and God¡¯s Eye power charged toward the Emperor of Death like a beast.


    ¡°What¡­!?¡± the Eyes of Death exclaimed as if they felt the ancient dominating power.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness and God¡¯s Spiritual Eye left his body. At the same time, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and hair color both returned to black.


    A shocking scene then appeared; a purple-colored God Eye appeared in the sky and faced the Eyes of Death. Scarlet-colored Wind Lightning glittered on its surface.


    This purple God¡¯s Eye wasn¡¯t just an image ¨C it was real. One could see its pupil and sclera in the air. This eyeball seemed to contain its own life. It wasn¡¯t just an Eye of Heaven or some spiritual form.


    The God¡¯s Eye was no longer in Zhao Feng¡¯s body. It had merged with his soul in the air.


    God¡¯s Eye leaving the body! Zhao Feng felt that his soul-power was extremely strong at the moment ¨C probably not weaker than some Void God Realm Emperors.


    When one reached the Void God Realm, their Yuan Souls could leave the body. The physical body could die as long as the soul didn¡¯t.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and God¡¯s Eye had become one and appeared as a ¡°Yuan Soul.¡± In this state, Zhao Feng¡¯s compatibility with Heaven and Earth was extremely high, so he could fight even though he was just a soul.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, let¡¯s see if you can take away my God¡¯s Spiritual Eye or not!¡± battle-intent surged from Zhao Feng¡¯s purple-colored God¡¯s Eye.


    Boom!


    The purple God¡¯s Eye summoned wind and lightning, and it even had the faint aura of the God Tribulation Lightning as it faced the Eye of Death.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    In front of this force, the nine Tokens of Death in the hands of the Death Guards shattered.


    Bammmmm~~~~!


    The purple-colored God¡¯s Eye and the black Eyes of Death clashed in the sky.

 724 Cunning

    Bam~~~~!


    An explosion sounded in the soul-dimension, and it even seemed to shake the physical world.


    The purple God¡¯s Eye was full of battle-intent, and it was surrounded by a scarlet-colored Wind Lightning. Its power could even affect the physical world.


    On the other side were the black Eyes of Death, which revealed a glint of uneasiness and shock for the first time.


    The Eyes of Death hadn¡¯t truly appeared here, they were just connected to this place through the Tokens of Death. Although they could use the Gaze of Death, they didn¡¯t specialize in ¡°close combat¡± with other eyeballs.


    Boom!


    The purple-colored God¡¯s Eye already caused the black eyes to become unstable after charging at them.


    ¡°Brat¡­ I¡¯ll let you win this time,¡± the image of the eyes started to spin and turn into a small black dot.


    The Gaze of Death used up a lot of energy, and the Emperor of Death hadn¡¯t fully recovered from the last time he used them yet. After facing Zhao Feng¡¯s counterattack, the Emperor of Death knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to kill Zhao Feng this time, so it was better to retreat and preserve his energy.


    Shua!


    The Eyes of Death turned into a small black dot that was engulfed in the purple-colored God¡¯s Eyes attack.


    Boom~~~


    The original location of the Eyes of Death was replaced by a large purple-colored God¡¯s Eye, and it was surrounded by howling scarlet-colored Wind Lightning.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s Eye Intent wasn¡¯t weaker than Void God Realm Emperors, and it contained a powerful momentum.


    Whoosh!


    The Eyes of Death had disappeared, leaving only some black smoke behind.


    ¡°He ran away pretty quickly,¡± the purple-colored God¡¯s Eye revealed a weird expression.


    At the end, facing Zhao Feng¡¯s counterattack, the Emperor of Death had decisively retreated, reducing his losses to the minimum. Although the Emperor of Death had retreated quickly, he was still slightly injured, and the price he paid would be even higher than when he faced Emperor Mu Yun.


    ¡°The Emperor, he¡­¡± the expressions of the remaining nine Death Guards became white, and they all spat out mouthfuls of blood because of the clash just now.


    Booom!


    The purple-colored God¡¯s Eye sent a shocking Eye Intent down toward the nine Death Guards and instantly destroyed their souls.


    ¡°Arghhhh!¡± the nine Death Guards were all killed in just one glance.


    The purple-colored God¡¯s Eye was formed from Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and his ¡°Yuan Soul.¡± In this state, Zhao Feng¡¯s battle-power was extremely strong, and he was very compatible with Heaven and Earth.


    Siiiii!


    The child Demigod and the skeletal Division Leader both took in cold breaths. The Yuan Souls of normal Kings could usually only run away or do some simple task. They didn¡¯t really fight, whereas Zhao Feng¡¯s Yuan Soul was extremely proficient in battle.


    Shua!


    The purple-colored God¡¯s Eye disappeared from the sky and returned to Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng¡¯s body started to move again, and his left eye and hair color both started to turn faint purple.


    Zhao Feng realized that he was covered in cold sweat after returning to his body. The battle just now was too risky. Luckily, it wasn¡¯t the Emperor of Death himself, and he wasn¡¯t at his peak state. Using the Gaze of Death required a lot of energy, and there were various limitations.


    ¡°The Emperor of Death will need another month or two to recover to his peak state again,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he started to think.


    Since the Eyes of Death were defeated, the battle came to an end.


    The Dark Soul King was beaten until he was almost shattered, but he managed to escape with a part of his soul when the Gaze of Death appeared.


    The Yin Yang Lord¡¯s physical body was destroyed, and his Yuan Soul had already run away when he saw that the situation wasn¡¯t looking good.


    Although the two Death Spirit Lords had saved their lives, if they wanted to reform a physical body or steal another¡¯s to recover to their peak strength, it would take at least several years, or even more than a dozen years.


    After this fight, Zhao Feng, the child Demigod, and the skeletal Division Leader were all tired.


    ¡°Master. Should we leave right now? Otherwise, the Emperor of Death¡­¡± fear appeared in the skeletal Division Leaders¡¯ eyes.


    The Emperor of Death had the ability to kill Emperors from several island zones away. If it were his true body here, and he could use his techniques without restriction, the result would be unimaginable.


    ¡°Don¡¯t panic.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t disagree about the Emperor of Death¡¯s strength. If he had come in person, they most likely would be killed instantly. However, even Emperors weren¡¯t able to travel such a far distance in such a short amount of time, unless it was the God Eye of Spacetime. Furthermore, the Emperor of Death had used a lot of energy already.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go down first,¡± Zhao Feng ordered the ghost ship to go into the ocean.


    In a certain place in the ocean lay the figure of a fainted youth. This youth was Wen Luoan, who had been smashed into the water. No one knew if he was still alive or not.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s first target in breaking the array was Wen Luoan, and he guessed that Wen Luoan wouldn¡¯t have died so easily with his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.


    Hua!


    Wen Luoan¡¯s body shook slightly as he managed to open his eyes. Even now, Wen Luoan¡¯s soul hurt, and a numbing sensation came from his body.


    ¡°Soul Chains!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye locked on to Wen Luoan and restricted his soul. Wisps of purple-colored chains of lightning wrapped around Wen Luoan¡¯s soul, making it so that he couldn¡¯t even kill himself.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat reached out with its paw and knocked Wen Luoan out. Wen Luoan¡¯s soul and body were both critically injured, and he was extremely weak.


    ¡°This is a good chance,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head. He didn¡¯t hesitate anymore ¨C he used his Eye Intent to put down a Dark Heart Seal in the depths of Wen Luoan¡¯s soul.


    The Dark Heart Seal was different from the Dark Heart Seed. Once the Dark Heart Seal was used, the target would be fully enslaved. The disadvantage was that the slave would lose their potential. Since even their thoughts were enslaved, they would lose their ¡°individuality¡± and act like obedient automatons, so it would be hard for them to breakthrough.


    Because of that, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use the Dark Heart Seal on the child Demigod since the latter would rather die than become an obedient slave.


    The Dark Heart Seed was used on both the child Demigod and skeletal Division Leader. The Dark Heart Seed was similar to simply strapping them with a bomb that could explode any moment. He could kill them with just a thought, but they still had free will. Therefore, although the slaves might betray him, their potential and growth weren¡¯t limited.


    Two days later, the ghost ship had sailed a long distance and entered a new island zone already.


    ¡°Master,¡± the voice of a weak youth sounded.


    Wen Luoan half-kneeled in front of Zhao Feng, and he was extremely respectful. It wasn¡¯t just respect in his eyes ¨C there was an obedience from the bottom of his heart.


    The child Demigod and the little thieving cat watched curiously.


    What will Zhao Feng do with the disciple of the Emperor of Death? the child Demigod¡¯s heart became solemn. After the Dark Heart Seal was used, even someone with a legendary Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline was just an automaton.


    The child Demigod lived in the shadow of the Dark Heart Seed ever since he had revived. His life and death had always been in Zhao Feng¡¯s grasp, and the Dark Heart Seal was an even-stronger version.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng started to question Wen Luoan, who answered everything.


    ¡°No wonder the Pursuit of Death is always on my heels ¨C there¡¯s a descendant of the Destiny God Eye involved,¡± Zhao Feng understood a lot.


    One had to know that the Cang Ocean was enormous. Even if you could sense someone, it was hard to chase after him. It was like trying to find a needle in an ocean. On top of that, Zhao Feng had weakened the Intent of Death in his soul to the bare minimum.


    Zhao Feng originally thought that he was just unlucky and that he kept meeting the Pursuit of Death by coincidence.


    ¡°Destiny God Eye?¡± the child Demigod and the little thieving cat both revealed a weird look.


    The Destiny God Eye was the most unique God Eye. Its battle-power wasn¡¯t strong; on the contrary, it might even be the weakest. However, the power of Destiny was the most terrifying and uncontrollable.


    How many experts were there in the Ancient Era, the Immemorial Era, and the Atavistic Era? None of them were able to escape their destiny.


    Zhao Feng then started to search Wen Luoan¡¯s soul, learning more about the Emperor of Death, including even his hobbies and habits. Only by knowing your enemy would you win every battle.


    Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death were fighting against each other till one of them died. Knowing the enemy was a must.


    Four hours later:


    ¡°Wen Luoan, go return to the Emperor of Death,¡± Zhao Feng ordered.


    ¡°Understood, Master,¡± Wen Luoan left the ghost ship with a heavily injured body.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng sat down and started to cultivate.


    His every aspect was at least on par with Void God Realm Kings. The only thing he lacked was the quantity of his True Yuan. He was just half a step away from becoming a complete King.


    The route of the ghost ship didn¡¯t change; they continued to head in the direction of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace after staying in the Pirate Sacred Land for a month.


    Half a month later, in the forest of a small island. Looking down from above, the entire island was filled with mountains and trees.


    In a quiet canyon:


    Ceng!


    Wen Luoan¡¯s figure landed next to a cave.


    Plop!


    Wen Luoan fell down on the ground and gritted his teeth as he spoke: ¡°Master¡­ I have important news.¡±


    ¡°Third Highness!¡± two Death Guards immediately picked up Wen Luoan.


    ¡°An¡¯er, you¡¯re still alive¡­.¡± a voice sounded.


    Shua!


    A tall figure that looked like the shadow of death itself appeared in front of Wen Luoan. The Emperor of Death¡¯s face was slightly pale, but he inspected his disciple with joy. However, he seemed to sense something, and his expression changed dramatically.


    The next instant, Wen Luoan¡¯s expression suddenly became full of hatred, and his True Yuan started to burn and explode like the blazing sun.


    Booom~~~~!


    With the sound of a loud explosion, everything within a hundred miles was engulfed in golden flames. The canyon was instantly turned into ashes.

 725 King 1

    The loud explosion was like an earthquake. The shaking and the loud sound could be heard from thousands of miles away.


    Boom~~~~!


    Looking from afar, a golden sun seemed to explode, and a shining golden light devoured everything within several hundred miles.


    A forbidden aura radiated from the area of the explosion. The explosion this time was at least twice as powerful as the one in the Demigod Forgotten Garden. One had to know that the power from last time was enough to kill a Death Spirit Lord, and this time, Wen Luoan had completely and truly self-destructed ¨C it wasn¡¯t a secret technique.


    This self-destruction included his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline and his soul; from this, one could see how terrifying the power would be. Even normal Emperors wouldn¡¯t be able to retreat unharmed.


    Hu~~~~


    Everything within a thousand miles became covered in a layer of dust, and the entire environment was affected. This small island¡¯s size was similar to the Eight Desolate Mountain or the Thirteen Countries, and the strongest person here was only a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.


    The terrifying aura from this explosion caused the hearts of all the Origin Core Realms to tremble.


    The dust didn¡¯t completely settle until a long time had passed.


    ¡°Zhao¡­ Feng¡­!!¡± a cold roar sounded from the middle of the blast-site. The voice was raspy, as if it came from the depths of hell.


    A tall dark figure wearing a crown moved with the wind. The Emperor of Death seemed to be unharmed, but his expression was grim and his pupils were contracting.


    Within his sight, everyone in the whole canyon had died apart from him. Even their corpses had turned into ashes.


    The Emperor of Death seemed to radiate a forcefield, which was so powerful that he didn¡¯t even leave footprints on the ground. Such terrifying strength was enough to shock some of the Emperors from the Spiritual Sacred Lands.


    ¡°Bai¡­ Bai Lin!¡± the Emperor of Death suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed dramatically. If the white-eyed girl was in range, she was definitely dead. She didn¡¯t have the Death Guards¡¯ strength or ability to survive.


    The death of his third disciple Wen Luoan was already a great humiliation to him. How humiliating and shameful was it to watch a disciple he had raised for so many years blow himself up right in front his eyes? All of this was coordinated by Zhao Feng.


    However, if the white-eyed girl who had the Eye of Destiny died, then his losses would be heavy. Thinking up to here, the Emperor of Death harrumphed, and his expression became uglier.


    Although the explosion just now didn¡¯t directly harm him, he had to use a secret technique with his already-weak body to defend himself, which compounded his injuries.


    ¡°Bai Lin!¡± the Emperor of Death forcefully used his Divine Sense and scanned around several thousand miles.


    ¡°Mas¡­ter,¡± a weak voice sounded from the sky as a little girl with white eyes descended with a pale face.


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you didn¡¯t die,¡± the Emperor of Death couldn¡¯t help but let out a long breath.


    The white-eyed little girl was indeed worthy of having the Eye of Destiny. She was extremely sensitive toward danger, and she had ¡°gone out to play¡± when Wen Luoan self-destructed. Luck was also a part of destiny, and for the white-eyed little girl who had the Eye of Destiny, she obviously had the ability to catch glimpses of destiny.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­ that was probably your true goal,¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s black eyes turned toward the direction of the Pirate Sacred Land, and a cold smile appeared on his face. As long as he had the Eye of Destiny on his side, the Emperor of Death still had a higher chance of victory.


    ¡°Third Martial Brother¡­ I¡¯ll take revenge for you,¡± a rare look of hatred appeared in the white eyes of the little girl. Memories of Wen Luoan playing with her surfaced in her mind. The warm youth who always had a smile on his face couldn¡¯t fade away from her mind, and the white-eyed little girl finally showed signs of being serious.


    ¡°Bai Lin, how are your calculations going?¡± the Emperor of Death asked.


    The little girl with the Eye of Destiny was usually nonchalant. It was rare to see her so serious.


    ¡°There¡¯s more information and tracks now. I will definitely be able to catch sight of his destiny,¡± the white-eyed little girl gripped a brush and bit her lips.


    Zhao Feng revealed more information when he fought with the Death Spirit Lords.


    On the other side of the limitless ocean:


    Whoosh!


    The ghost ship headed off in a certain direction.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin:


    ¡°How unfortunate¡­.¡± Zhao Feng revealed a regretful look. He was able to see a blurry image during the instant that Wen Luoan self-destructed through the Dark Heart Seal. The Emperor of Death was stronger than he expected, and there was no aura of the white-eyed little girl.


    However, Wen Luoan¡¯s self-destruction was Zhao Feng¡¯s first true retaliation. In the past, Zhao Feng was either running or fighting out of desperation, but this time, Zhao Feng had not only injured the Emperor of Death¡¯s most powerful servants, he even counterattacked the Emperor of Death himself.


    ¡°Skeletal Division Leader, slightly change course,¡± Zhao Feng suddenly said. The Eye of Destiny made him wary. He didn¡¯t dare to head toward the Sky Sacred Qin Palace directly.


    Zhao Feng randomly changed the route. The final destination didn¡¯t change, but the path they took to get there did. Zhao Feng did this out of instinct.


    ¡°Master, if we go by the new route, it¡¯ll take us one more year to reach the Sky Sacred Qin Palace,¡± the skeletal Division Leader said.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head. He would cultivate quietly for the next year.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes. As of right now, everything apart from the quantity of his True Yuan was already stronger than normal Void God Realm Kings. To increase the amount of True Yuan he had, Zhao Feng started organizing his spoils of war.


    After the Heaven¡¯s Legacy City, Zhao Feng¡¯s wealth had all been used up. The wealth he currently possessed came from stealing from the pirates afterward, but only a small portion of the resources was actually useful to him.


    Two months later, Zhao Feng drank the remaining Dragon Flame Wine and Lightning Cloud Wine, but the effects weren¡¯t obvious. After all, the strength of his True Yuan had surpassed even normal Void God Realms by a bit.


    ¡°There¡¯s only half a cup of Illusion God Wine remaining,¡± a purple-colored cup appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand.


    Gulu~~


    Zhao Feng drank the last half a cup.


    Over the last few months of fighting and cultivating, Zhao Feng¡¯s King Intent had fully consolidated, and it was steadily increasing.


    A strong surge of drunkenness covered Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness after he drank the Illusion God Wine. The power of the Illusion God Wine was absorbed by the soul, and the drunkenness directly affected the soul.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness soon entered a profound state. In a short span of just a couple breaths, Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy seemed to become stronger, and his compatibility with Heaven and Earth increased. Of course, this was just temporary.


    Zhao Feng used this time to fully focus on this state. Ten breaths later, the drunken sensation started to fade. Half the time it took to make tea later, Zhao Feng¡¯s mind became clear once more, and he shook his head with a sigh.


    The Illusion God Wine wasn¡¯t very effective for him anymore; it only raised his mental energy level by a tiny bit. However, any increase in mental energy level was rare and difficult.


    ¡°My comprehension toward Heaven and Earth surpasses most Kings,¡± Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head. Only Emperors would be able to suppress Zhao Feng in terms of Intent.


    As his Intent increased, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation would also steadily rise. Unfortunately, the amount of resources he currently had that could increase his cultivation was decreasing.


    In the fourth month after leaving the Pirate Sacred Land, Zhao Feng¡¯s amount of True Yuan reached the limit of the Origin Core Realm, and he could break through to the Void God Realm at any time.


    ¡°Although breaking through to the Void God Realm won¡¯t increase my actual strength dramatically, it¡¯ll increase my foundation and my cultivation¡­.¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul, mental energy, and True Yuan quality had all reached the level of the Void God Realm long ago. The only thing he lacked was the amount of True Yuan he could store. Earlier, In his battles against Kings, Zhao Feng needed to finish off the fights as soon as possible. If they dragged out, he wouldn¡¯t have that much energy remaining.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng was only a thin barrier away from the Void God Realm, and almost all his resources were used up.


    On this day, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and merged his consciousness into the purple-colored Soul Sea.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng once again entered the Ancient Dream Realm. Its resistance against Zhao Feng became weaker, especially after he merged with the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline. This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s battle-power was even stronger in the Ancient Dream Realm than it used to be.


    Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!


    Zhao Feng stepped through the grass and headed toward the forest.


    A while later:


    Ceng!


    Zhao Feng arrived at the forest. There were many beasts here, and the forest was full of danger. Zhao Feng used his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and avoided the larger beasts.


    The flesh of normal beasts and the water weren¡¯t really effective on him anymore; he needed to find new resources.


    Zhao Feng slowed down a bit after entering the forest. In this period of time, he met poisonous snakes and a cheetah, but he finished them off.


    Around half a day of scouting around later, Zhao Feng finally saw a tall tree that had fruits on it. Maybe because of the humidity, the other trees didn¡¯t have any fruits on them. Some of their leaves were even yellow. Only this tall tree was different; it had dozens of fresh green and red fruits, but the area around it was dead-silent, and there was an uneasy aura here.

 726 King 2

    Zhao Feng held his breath and didn¡¯t make any rash movements as he inspected the surroundings of the tree.


    The aura near the tall tree was indeed different. There were no other animals or insects within several hundred meters, and it was dead-silent. Zhao Feng suddenly felt cold, as if something dangerous had locked on to him.


    Sii! Whoosh!


    A long shadow suddenly shot out from the branches along with a bloodthirsty aura.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart jumped as he caught sight of a giant snake with his left eye. The color and aura of it were the same as the forest. The color of the snake¡¯s eyes was red, and its mouth was wider than a barrel.


    With a gust of wind and dirt, the mouth of the snake instantly appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    It was just too fast. Zhao Feng was frightened and quickly retreated, but that wasn¡¯t enough to evade the snake¡¯s attack.


    Weng~~


    A thin layer of delicate scales appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    ¡°Fuck off!¡± Zhao Feng circulated the Mystic Ice Scale Race bloodline as a long spear appeared in his hand, which then stabbed into the snake¡¯s mouth.


    Shu~~~ Peng!


    The Ice Imperial Spear was only able to sink half an inch into the mouth before the recoil pushed Zhao Feng back several meters.


    Ceng!


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back fluttered as he used the trees nearby as cover. At the same time, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye started to inspect the snake.


    ¡°Dammit, this snake probably isn¡¯t a beast anymore. It has its own intelligence, and it can absorb the essence of Heaven and Earth. It¡¯s probably a Yao beast now,¡± Zhao Feng took in a cold breath.


    Due to the environment of the Ancient Dream Realm, how could the living beings here be comparable to the real world? One had to know that even a wisp of aura from here was beneficial to those at the True Lord Rank, and the flesh of the animals here could strengthen those at the Origin Core Realm.


    From the clash just now, one could see how strong the giant snake was.


    ¡°This guy¡¯s body is extremely strong, and my strength is limited in the Ancient Dream Realm¡­.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. At the moment, he wasn¡¯t the snake¡¯s opponent in a head-on fight.


    Sii! Sii!


    Frost appeared on the giant snake¡¯s mouth as it hissed and stared at Zhao Feng with eyes of hatred.


    ¡°Luckily, this giant snake doesn¡¯t know any techniques,¡± Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    He retreated a bit further as a bow appeared in his hand. Zhao Feng was just about to use the Sky Locking Bow when a screech came from the air. Zhao Feng felt the aura of a familiar beast.


    Whoosh!


    A large, ancient Yao bird flew downward and headed straight toward the fruits on the tree.


    Siiiii~~~~


    The giant snake was extremely angry. It charged at the bird and no longer cared about Zhao Feng.


    ¡°It¡¯s that bird!¡± Zhao Feng revealed a weird look. He had met this bird before when he just started walking around in the Ancient Dream Realm. At that moment, he was greatly scared of the bird since he could barely even walk.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s current body, bloodline, and soul were countless times stronger than back then, and he now had the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline, decreasing the repulsion of the Ancient Dream Realm.


    It was all perfectly executed ¨C the bird was able to successfully eat a fruit before the snake arrived.


    Boom!


    The snake arrived in an instant and caused the branches to shake. Cunning appeared in the bird¡¯s eyes as it flapped its wings and reached the peak of the tree. It wasn¡¯t the snake¡¯s match in a head-on fight, but if they fought in the air, the bird would be more agile.


    Like this, the snake and bird fought in the air above the tree. On the whole, the snake was on the defensive while the bird could do whatever it wanted. It was usually difficult for the bird to steal a fruit or two, but Zhao Feng had successfully distracted the snake.


    ¡°This is a good chance!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes lit up as he looked at the snake on the tree. His speed increased dramatically as lightning arced around him and he landed on a branch of the tree.


    ¡°Go!¡± Zhao Feng quickly took two fruits behind the snake¡¯s back; one was ripe red and the other was green. If he was correct, these fruits could be considered Spiritual Fruits of the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actions caught the attention of both the snake and bird. The giant snake was extremely angry as it whipped toward Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng put away the two fruits as a suit of armor made of ice appeared on his body. This meant that he now had two layers of defense.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng tried to dodge but was sent flying by the snake¡¯s tail.


    ¡°Hehe,¡± Zhao Feng used the momentum to retreat a couple dozen meters. Thin cracks appeared on his ice armor, but he wasn¡¯t really harmed. One had to know that Zhao Feng¡¯s two layers of defense could even block the attacks of Peak-tier Kings.


    On the other hand, frost appeared on the snake¡¯s tail, and its actions stiffened.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t care about the battle between the two Yao beasts. He quickly retreated back to the grass fields and out of the forest.


    Right at this moment, a screech came from the bird, and its aura charged toward Zhao Feng. The bird was chasing him, maybe because it thought Zhao Feng was easier to bully.


    ¡°Hmph! Bastard, I¡¯ll see you next time,¡± Zhao Feng snickered. He had achieved his goal and didn¡¯t want anything unexpected to happen.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s figure disappeared. The next instant, the bird charged into nothing. The bird paused and looked around. It was obvious that it didn¡¯t understand how the human could disappear into thin air.


    In the captain¡¯s cabin within the ghost ship.


    ¡°Hehe,¡± Zhao Feng laughed lightly as he looked at the two fruits in his hand.


    The two fruits were respectively green and red, and they gave off an ancient aura. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi released from the fruits caused the Yuan Qi in the outside world to tremble.


    Spiritual Fruits contained the essence of Heaven and Earth, but the fruits in the Ancient Dream Realm were of a much higher rank than even those of the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    To make sure none of the aura was released, Zhao Feng used his power to seal the aura.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on his shoulder and looked greedily at the two fruits.


    Zhao Feng used his Divine Sense and saw that the child Demigod was in seclusion, which saved Zhao Feng some trouble. He then gave the green fruit to the little thieving cat.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat gulped it down all at once, then went back into the interspatial ring and started to sleep. Zhao Feng watched with curiosity. It seemed like the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi contained within it was not to be underestimated.


    He kept watching for a while and made sure that the little thieving cat had no adverse reactions, then swallowed the ripe red fruit.


    The fruit didn¡¯t just dissolve as expected. Products from the Ancient Dream Realm were harder to digest compared to those of the outside world. However, that wasn¡¯t a bad thing for Zhao Feng since the energy contained within the fruit wouldn¡¯t be released all at once, making it easier to absorb completely.


    A couple breaths later, wisps of powerful energy with an ancient aura flowed into Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    ¡°The quality of this fruit is extremely high,¡± Zhao Feng clicked his tongue. Luckily, his state of existence and body were both extremely strong, and he had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, which allowed him to absorb the energy from the fruit.


    Time passed by slowly. Later that day, Zhao Feng¡¯s Crystal Core started to expand.


    ¡°Just the slightest bit of this fruit is comparable to the top Spiritual Fruits of the outside world,¡± Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    With the help of its aura, Zhao Feng¡¯s body and organs were being cleansed. Not only was the amount of True Yuan in his body increasing, its aura was also condensing. At the same time, with Zhao Feng¡¯s powerful King Intent, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within a thousand miles started to surge toward him. Regretfully, there wasn¡¯t much Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the ocean ¨C only inland was suitable for habitation and cultivation.


    In order to avoid the Pursuit of Death, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t go to any inland place or any Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    Ten days later, Zhao Feng fully absorbed the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi from the fruit and used most of his remaining resources, but luckily, the size of his Crystal Core had reached an entirely new level.


    On the surface, the Crystal Core didn¡¯t seem to be much bigger, but the inside of it had changed. Zhao Feng could sense a large True Yuan dimension within it. The scarlet-colored True Yuan within his Crystal Core was the size of a large, limitless lake.


    ¡°This is the Void God Realm. My soul is perfectly compatible with Heaven and Earth, and my True Yuan is like the ocean ¨C unable to be used up.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s True Yuan was like an ocean, and Heaven and Earth replenished his True Yuan continuously. From this moment onward, Zhao Feng¡¯s True Yuan cultivation had reached the Void God Realm.


    His aura started to rise, and he became covered in a scarlet-colored light. It was as if he was covered in the light of a god, and his aura started to interact with Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°Void God Realm King!¡± the skeletal Division Leader and the child Demigod were both stunned by the aura.

 727 Territory

    From this moment onward, Zhao Feng had fully stepped into the Void God Realm.


    If he didn¡¯t purposely conceal his aura, his Intent and True Yuan would continuously interact with Heaven and Earth. It was like being one with Heaven and Earth. This was why Void God Realm Kings were always covered in Magnificent Power, and why their every action contained limitless power.


    ¡°Congratulations, Master!¡± the child Demigod and the skeletal Division Leader congratulated, but they both felt complicated feelings.


    The skeletal Division Leader felt respectful and even a slight tinge of admiration. It had witnessed Zhao Feng¡¯s growth step by step. Void God Realm Kings were just legends in the Azure Flower Continent. Even the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch had only barely touched the level of the Void God Realm. This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation was unparalleled among the entire Azure Flower Continent, and that wasn¡¯t even his full strength.


    The child Demigod was shocked at Zhao Feng¡¯s growth, and he became even more wary and pressured.


    ¡°Little Kun Yun, your cultivation isn¡¯t far away from the Void God Realm either,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze turned toward the child Demigod.


    The child Demigod¡¯s ¡°recovery¡± relied almost exclusively on resources. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his resources were limited, the child Demigod may have become a King faster than Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze put pressure on the child Demigod. At this moment in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and True Yuan were both stronger than the child Demigod. The only difference between them was Intent; after all, the child Demigod was a Demigod in his previous life. Even though he hadn¡¯t completely recovered yet, his Intent could suppress Void God Realm Emperors.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and consolidated his foundation, while the child Demigod went back to the ancient metal ring slightly depressed. It wasn¡¯t hard for him to figure out that Zhao Feng had broken through with the use of resources. Since he was being restricted in terms of resources, the child Demigod still needed at least half a year to break through.


    Out of instinct and cautiousness, Zhao Feng limited the child Demigod¡¯s cultivation to around the same level as his own. Only this way would he be able to control him and fully utilize him.


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng consolidated his foundation. Even though he had broken through with outside help, his soul and Intent were already at the level of the Void God Realm to begin with.


    After reaching the Void God Realm, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength didn¡¯t increase that dramatically. After all, it was just a difference in quantity of True Yuan. The strength of the True Yuan itself didn¡¯t become much greater.


    All of that was expected since Zhao Feng¡¯s foundation was much stronger. Zhao Feng believed that he was unparalleled against anyone weaker than an Emperor, and with his eye-bloodline, he could even challenge an Emperor. If he met the Yin Yang Lord again, Zhao Feng wouldn¡¯t be scared of fighting him in one-on-one combat.


    Ten days later, Zhao Feng started to focus on absorbing the God Tribulation Lighting and comprehending the Wind Lightning Inheritance. These two things could directly affect his strength. Zhao Feng never stopped absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning if he had enough spare time to do so.


    Within the dimension of his left eye, the head was floating in the air next to the edge of the purple Soul Sea. Zhao Feng used the soul-version of the Lightning Absorption Divine Technique to absorb the power in the head.


    Boom!


    Thunder shook his soul and radiated an aura of immortality.


    Right now, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was extremely resilient against the God Tribulation Lightning, and it would be cleansed after absorbing its power. Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and Intent became stronger while absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning, which was something he didn¡¯t expect.


    Time passed by. Zhao Feng was able to absorb a tiny wisp of the lightning every couple days while multi-tasking on other things with his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. Absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning and refining his soul was a must.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s other thoughts focused on the Wind Lightning Inheritance and how to use the Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    In the blink of an eye, four months passed.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, the aura occasionally radiating from Zhao Feng became more and more terrifying.


    In his purple Soul Sea, Zhao Feng had absorbed around eighty wisps of God Tribulation Lightning, about twenty times more than the amount he had at the Pirate Sacred Land.


    ¡°There¡¯s a total of seventy-eight wisps of God Tribulation Lightning.¡±


    Seventy-eight wisps of God Tribulation Lightning appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s purple Soul Sea. The God Tribulation Lightning had no shape, only the aura of immortality. Looking at it closely, one would be able to see eight ancient, weird symbols of lightning spread out across the purple Soul Sea. Each gave off a faint purple light, and they were connected to each other.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, and the seventy-eight wisps of God Tribulation Lightning sparkled as they continuously refined his soul. At the same time, he merged the Intent of the God Tribulation Lightning into his dantian.


    The Crystal Core now had the faintest aura of God Tribulation Lightning ¨C something that conquered everything in the world.


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng¡¯s mastery and comprehension of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning had almost reached 100%. The Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning was like burning clouds of lightning, and they gave off a faint golden glint on the surface.


    The Golden Destruction Wind Lightning comes after the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, but my power over Wind Lightning has already exceeded the imagination of the Wind Lightning Emperor, Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    The merging of the Ancient Dream Realm aura and the God Tribulation Lightning into his technique made the power of his Wind Lightning far stronger than anyone else studying the Dao of Lightning.


    ¡°Master,¡± the child Demigod suddenly spoke.


    Hmm? Zhao Feng opened his eyes and looked toward the child Demigod.


    ¡°There¡¯s a couple strong pirate forces nearby and I want to plunder their wealth,¡± the child Demigod said.


    Zhao Feng scanned around with his Divine Sense and found several pirate forces. Each of them had at least one half-step King as a guard.


    ¡°Master, I will finish the battle as quickly as possible and won¡¯t interfere with the journey,¡± the child Demigod begged, and Zhao Feng knew that the child Demigod urgently needed resources to recover his cultivation.


    ¡°Go,¡± Zhao Feng waved his hand and didn¡¯t stop him. He hadn¡¯t been giving the child Demigod resources recently, but he couldn¡¯t restrict him from getting his own, right?


    Whoosh!


    The ghost ship¡¯s speed didn¡¯t decrease; it simply kept flying. The only difference was that the child Demigod left the ghost ship.


    Zhao Feng then witnessed a massacre. The pirate forces couldn¡¯t fight back against the child Demigod at all.


    Boom!


    The four-year-old child sent out a fist and shattered the pirate ship. In just the time it took to make tea, the child Demigod had destroyed several pirate groups by himself.


    ¡°Although these resources aren¡¯t very high quality, they¡¯re better than nothing,¡± the child Demigod organized his spoils of war.


    Whoosh!


    He then turned into a streak of golden light that caught up to the ghost ship. He hadn¡¯t wasted any time of their journey.


    Zhao Feng never limited his actions afterward, he just told the child Demigod not to leave further than ten thousand miles from him.


    Zhao Feng also urgently needed resources. The resources he could use after becoming a King were more limited. Void God Realm Kings had lifespans of several thousand years, and every minor improvement required a large amount of resources.


    On this day, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm once more. Like last time, Zhao Feng entered the forest; his target was still the Spiritual Fruits on the tree.


    There were fewer fruits now, and there were several injuries on the giant snake¡¯s body. It wasn¡¯t hard to guess that there were several Yao beasts wandering around in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and scanned his surroundings. As expected, Zhao Feng saw the Yao bird. There were a couple scars on it, and its injuries hadn¡¯t fully healed.


    ¡°If this continues, there will be fewer and fewer Spiritual Fruits left,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows locked together as he started to think.


    It wasn¡¯t too hard for him to kill the two Yao beasts, but two-thirds of the fruits weren¡¯t ripe yet. Some of them weren¡¯t even one-tenth red. Zhao Feng¡¯s fruit last time was only 70% ripe and didn¡¯t have its best effect.


    Zhao Feng soon had a thought.


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll just choose you two,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned over the giant snake and bird.


    The two Yao beasts felt their hearts go cold.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s first target was the ancient bird since the bird was extremely agile and could see very far. Zhao Feng was worried that the bird would ambush him while he was dealing with the snake.


    Ceng!


    Zhao Feng silently jumped onto the trees, and his left eye locked on to the bird. The Yao bird¡¯s heart shook as it felt a sense of danger. It suddenly sensed Zhao Feng¡¯s enmity and charged over with a screech.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye glittered with scarlet and a faint gold.


    Whoosh!


    Before the bird arrived, a ball of transparent scarlet Wind Lightning caught it off guard. The Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame contained the essence of the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning as well as the Intent of the God Tribulation Lightning.


    Stars appeared in the Yao bird¡¯s eyes. Just one blow of the eye-bloodline flame severely injured the Yao bird¡¯s body and soul. Scorch marks were left behind on its wings.


    ¡°Dark Heart Seal!¡± using this chance, Zhao Feng used this forbidden technique while the bird was in pain. The bird struggled in the air then suddenly stopped fighting back and landed next to Zhao Feng obediently.


    ¡°Success!¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly, then led the bird toward the giant snake near the tall tree.


    Siiii!!


    Seeing Zhao Feng and the bird team up, the snake couldn¡¯t help but reveal a wary look.


    ¡°Go!¡± Zhao Feng ordered the bird to fight with the snake while he retreated backward a bit and used the Mental Energy Spike to injure the snake¡¯s soul, then control it with his Dark Heart Seal.


    Like that, two Yao beasts that ruled the forest nearby were enslaved by Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng gave the order and made the snake and bird protect this tree and not allow any other living beings go near it.


    ¡°A total of twenty-eight fruits,¡± Zhao Feng counted them and found that there weren¡¯t many left.


    Around two-thirds of them weren¡¯t ripe yet, and seven or eight of them were only half-ripe.


    Zhao Feng picked out the two 80-90% ripe fruits, then soul-searched the bird. He wanted to understand the Ancient Dream Realm better through the help of this bird.

 728 Resource Crisis

    Zhao Feng let out a breath and retracted the soul-searching technique a while later. He looked toward the earth with a different gaze from before.


    He now understood a lot more from the memories of the bird. It was simply the lowest Yao bird in the Ancient Dream Realm and only had a tiny bit of intelligence. The Yao bird only lived within a thousand-mile radius of here. The places further from that were extremely dangerous, and it didn¡¯t dare to enter them.


    There were indeed some powerful races in the Ancient Dream Realm. The bird had indeed met humanoid races two or three times, but their auras suppressed the bird from extremely far away and made it unable to breathe. Zhao Feng was able to feel how terrifying these races were just from the memories.


    ¡°The Ancient Dream Realm is not simple. I need to be careful,¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    He was puzzled as to how he could enter this place through the dimension of his left eye. What was the relationship between the Ancient Dream Realm and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye? Or the original owner of the Eye?


    Of course, the most complicated point was ¨C why was everything here reflected in the real world? It wasn¡¯t as simple as just Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness entering this world. Zhao Feng¡¯s body could exist in here, and he could use weapons and items from his ancient metal ring. The only thing Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t tried was to bring other living beings in here; he didn¡¯t want to reveal the secret of the Ancient Dream Realm just yet.


    ¡°Guard this place well¡­.¡± Zhao Feng gave some details before he left.


    Shua!


    Two fruits appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand, and he ate the 90% ripe one without hesitation.


    The fruits within the Ancient Dream Realm were several times better than the Spiritual Fruits in the outside world. The only issue was that, after one reached the Void God Realm, a ton of resources were needed to progress.


    Zhao Feng estimated that even if he ate all twenty-eight fruits, it would only push his cultivation to the middle-stage Void God Realm at most. This was under the assumption that all of the Spiritual Fruits were fully absorbed and their effectiveness stayed the same.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng circulated his True Yuan and absorbed the ancient aura within the fruit. His scarlet-colored True Yuan started to boil after it absorbed the energy of the Spiritual Fruit and seemed to become a burning ocean.


    When one reached the Void God Realm, their True Yuan would become almost limitless. However, their souls and True Yuan dimension were still slowly progressing. This was a long path, and even though Zhao Feng could enter the Ancient Dream Realm, that would only shorten the path slightly.


    A month later, Zhao Feng completely absorbed the two fruits. His True Yuan was consolidated, but he was still quite far away from the middle stages of the Void God Realm.


    Of course, absorbing the power of the God Tribulation Lightning was still a must. With the help of the God Tribulation Lightning, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was getting stronger by the day and slowly pushing toward the Emperor level. On top of that, Zhao Feng was always learning about the Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Flying Technique¡­ Lightning Wings Wind Flash¡­ Wind Lightning Wings Slash¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng continuously comprehended the Lightning Wings secret techniques. His next goal was the highest-level technique ¨C the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash.


    The Lightning Wings Spatial Flash was technically just a combination of the Lightning Wings Wind Flash and the Lightning Wings Flying Technique. It was involved using a spatial technique from the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and the Intent of Wind Lightning. Once he comprehended the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, a thousand miles in a single breath wouldn¡¯t just be a legend.


    However, to comprehend the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, he needed to get more familiar with using the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and the Lightning Wings Wind Flash. Zhao Feng was trying to slowly approach this goal.


    Time passed by, and Zhao Feng completely focused on cultivation, and he hadn¡¯t met the Pursuit of Death during this time. This was all within expectations.


    Firstly, almost all of the Emperor of Death¡¯s subordinates had been killed.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng had grinded the Intent of Death down to an extremely weak level that was hard to be sensed.


    After reaching the Void God Realm, Zhao Feng had merged in more God Tribulation Lightning, and his mastery of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique had almost reached the One Thought into One Thousand stage. This meant that Zhao Feng could already fully destroy the Intent of Death, but he didn¡¯t do so.


    He purposely left behind a tiny bit and sealed it. Unless the Emperor of Death was right next to Zhao Feng, he wouldn¡¯t be able to sense anything.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, you¡¯ve made me go on the run for several years. I will repay this several times over,¡± Zhao Feng was filled with hatred. Anyone that had been pursued for several years while constantly living on the edge of death would be angry.


    On the ninth month after leaving the Pirate Sacred Land:


    Weng~~~


    The aura of a King appeared in the ghost ship.


    ¡°Void God Realm! I¡¯ve finally reached it!¡± the child Demigod was covered in golden light, as if he was a buddha. The mere aura from his Sacred Body bloodline made the skeletal Division Leader, who was only at the late-stage Great Origin Core Realm, feel pressured.


    The Demigod Kun Yun¡¯s Golden Kun Sacred Body has almost reached the 5th level, Zhao Feng was stunned. He had the Golden Kun Sacred Body in his mind as well, so he could tell the level of the child Demigod at a glance.


    Once the Golden Kun Sacred Body reached the 5th level, the cultivator would be unparalleled in the Void God Realm level. It wasn¡¯t difficult for them to fight Emperors with just their physical body.


    When the child Demigod reached the Void God Realm¡­ the Golden Kun Sacred Body had almost reached the 5th level. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know how great the child Demigod¡¯s current strength was, but one thing was for sure ¨C the child Demigod was definitely unparalleled against anyone weaker than an Emperor.


    ¡°Master, if we team up, we won¡¯t be scared of any Emperor as long as they¡¯re not one of the top Emperors,¡± the child Demigod¡¯s voice sounded.


    Indeed, their combined force was almost unrivalled against anyone weaker than an Emperor. If they fought together, they wouldn¡¯t need to be wary of normal Emperors.


    ¡°But it still isn¡¯t enough to deal with the Emperor of Death,¡± Zhao Feng shook his head and didn¡¯t get arrogant.


    Emperors were also split into different tiers. The difference in strength between normal Emperors and top Emperors was extremely big. Furthermore, the Emperor of Death was one of the strongest Emperors of all, and his battle-power was probably close to those at the Mystic Light Realm.


    ¡°Master, I urgently need resources. With enough resources, I can recover even more of my strength,¡± the child Demigod said. He was a revived Demigod and could quickly recover his strength if he had enough resources. It wasn¡¯t really considered ¡°cultivation¡± since he had already done it before.


    Zhao Feng was silent. He didn¡¯t want to continue giving resources from the Ancient Dream Realm to the child Demigod. He needed to restrict the child Demigod, otherwise he might pose even more of a threat than the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°I don¡¯t even have many resources for myself,¡± Zhao Feng shook his head.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat also appeared and waved its claws, as if saying that it needed more resources too.


    ¡°Master, the cursed ghost-corpses have all reached the peak Small Origin Core Realm and need large amounts of resources to become stronger,¡± the skeletal Division Leader added.


    The human, child, cat, and skeleton went silent. In just one night, everyone on the ghost ship had entered a resource crisis.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t even have many Primal Crystal Stones remaining, and he still needed to leave some in order to fly the ship.


    The source of the crisis came from the Heaven¡¯s Legacy City, but if Zhao Feng had to choose again, he would have done the same thing.


    ¡°Master, I have a suggestion,¡± the child Demigod¡¯s eyes flashed as he spoke.


    ¡°Suggestion? It¡¯s not going to steal from a two-star sect or some island, right?¡± Zhao Feng rolled his eyes.


    Based on their current crisis, it seemed like even taking all the wealth from several one-star clans and dozens of pirates wouldn¡¯t be enough. The child Demigod¡¯s and Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivations were just too high, so normal resources were of no use to them.


    ¡°Master, I killed a group of pirates not long ago and got some information from them. The Red Dragon Island Zone up ahead has several two-star sects fighting,¡± the child Demigod licked his lips and gave a wicked you-know-what-I-mean smile. This expression was extremely evil and deadly when it appeared on the face of a child.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws in agreement. It was also lacking resources.


    The skeletal Division Leader was also excited.


    ¡°Two-star sect battlefield?¡±


    This caught Zhao Feng¡¯s attention. Clashes between two-star sects were extremely big and involved large amounts of resources.


    In the past, Zhao Feng would definitely try to avoid one, but at the moment, it was a good place for them.


    ¡°En, let me check the map,¡± a screen made of ice and water appeared in front of Zhao Feng and showed the outline of the nearby island zones.


    The Red Dragon Island Zone was directly ahead; it was only one-fifth of an island zone away.


    Zhao Feng continued to look further down the map and landed on the Gan Sacred Island Zone that was five or six island zones away.


    ¡°The Sky Sacred Qin Palace¡­ is not far away anymore.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart moved. The Sky Sacred Qin Palace was within the Gan Sacred Island Zone.


    It wasn¡¯t a bad idea to obtain some wealth before arriving at the Sky Sacred Qin Palace.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Zhao Feng himself was slightly impatiently. No one knew whether it was because of the desire to plunder wealth or because they were close to the Sky Sacred Qin Palace.


    Whoosh!


    The ghost ship raised its speed, and the ship itself seemed to be slightly excited as it headed toward the Red Dragon Island Zone.


    At the same moment, within the Red Dragon Island Zone, a place twice as big as the Azure Flower Continent:


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Magnificent Power of many Kings caused the sky to shake. Dust blew everywhere on the island, and those at the Origin Core Realm were considered to be the main force.


    In total, three two-star sects were fighting in this island zone. There was a handful of Void God Realm Kings in this battle alone.


    They didn¡¯t know that four unwelcome guests were quickly approaching.

 729 Sacred Body Strength

    The battlefield in the Red Dragon Island Zone was on a resourceful island. The population and wealth on this island were at least double that of the Azure Flower Continent¡¯s.


    The participants of this battle were three two-star sects and eighteen one-star clans.


    The Red Dragon Island Zone was similar to the Tianlu Islands; one of the two-star sects ¨C the Sky Star Demonic Sect ¨C fought against the other two sects.


    At this moment in time, in the air, there were two Void God Realm Kings from the Sky Star Demonic Sect. One of them was a male in dark golden robes. There was a dark star symbol on his forehead, and he was covered in darkness. The dark-golden-robed male was fighting against two Void God Realm Kings with ease.


    ¡°This Sky Star Demonic Lord¡¯s cultivation has broken through to the late-stage Void God Realm, and he¡¯s not far away from a Peak-tier King.¡±


    The two opposing Kings were an elder with white hair and another person in a white dress.


    The Sky Star Demonic Lord was the ruler of the Star Sky Demonic Sect and one of the strongest Void God Realms in the Red Dragon Island Zone.


    ¡°Demonic Star Domain!¡± the Sky Star Demonic Lord gently waved his robes, and the air became filled with a field of dark stars.


    Whoosh~~~~!


    The dark stars released starlight that shot toward and suppressed the two opponent Kings.


    Apart from that fight, there was a beauty from the Sky Star Demonic Sect surrounded in darkness who attacked toward a King who cultivated the Dao of the Sword.


    ¡°Sky Flowing Sword King,¡± the female from the Sky Star Demonic Sect smiled, ¡°My Powerless Forcefield uses your own power to counter you. Even if you were 30% stronger, you can¡¯t do anything against it. You¡¯ll run out of energy in half a day, and the Clan Master will probably finish his battle before then.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll see,¡± the Sword Dao King was unfazed. His will was as tough as rock as he sent beams of sword-light into the air.


    Bam! Bam!


    The Powerless Forcefield of the female King started to become unstable, and her expression started to change.


    The Sky Flowing Sword King was the first expert of the Sword Dao in the Red Dragon Island Zone that had become a King.


    Boom! Boom! Boom~~~~!


    The cultivators at the Origin Core Realm fought inland, and they caused the mountains to shatter and wind to blow everywhere.


    On normal islands, those at the Origin Core Realm were unparalleled Sovereigns, but the magnificent clash between Kings in the air made the hearts of the Sovereigns twitch.


    At the same moment, the sound of flying appeared.


    Whoosh!


    A ghost ship flew into range of the two-star battlefield.


    There was still fighting between Sovereigns at the edge of the battlefield since they needed to transport resources.


    ¡°Who is it!?¡±


    The arrival of the ghost ship caught the attention of a two-star sect.


    Miao miao!


    A small silver-gray cat put up a skull-and-crossbones flag on the ship.


    ¡°A pirate ship?¡±


    The experts fighting had weird expressions. Normal pirates would run as far as possible when they saw a two-star sect. Even experts wouldn¡¯t want to be involved in a two-star battlefield.


    However, the scene today destroyed their thoughts. Not only did a pirate ship see a two-star battlefield and not run away, they were extremely excited and came charging over.


    ¡°Stop that pirate ship!¡± a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord led more than a dozen people who were all at least at the late-stage True Lord Rank and charged toward the pirate ship.


    Hu~~~


    A thick layer of smoke suddenly appeared from the ghost ship, and a hundred pairs of red eyes released a surge of power.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    Before the people even arrived, their mental energy was shattered and they were killed. The ghost ship then charged forward and absorbed their blood and essence.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat and a golden-skinned child flew through the air and quickly gathered the spoils of war. Of course, the little thieving cat and the child Demigod would only take the items from the Origin Core Realms.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng sat down and took a sip of alcohol from the Demigod¡¯s cellar as he watched the situation unfold.


    ¡°Everyone, hand over your interspatial items and I won¡¯t kill you!¡± the child Demigod roared in his baby voice.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved a skull-and-crossbones flag and cheered from the side.


    The two floated in the air above the ghost-corpse smoke and weren¡¯t affected by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    ¡°How dare a measly pirate ship try to rob the Sky Star Demonic Sect?¡± a group of cultivators from the Sky Star Demonic Sect charged over. There were two Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords and seven or eight normal Sovereigns.


    Such a force could easily wipe out several one-star clans. However, in front of the hundred pairs of red eyes, all of them were killed without any chance to fight back at all. This group became nourishment for the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array as well.


    ¡°Hehe¡­ a two-star battlefield is indeed a great place¡± the skeletal Division Leader laughed wickedly and said.


    The experts from the one-star clans and two-star sects all ran in fear wherever the ghost ship went. The ghost ship was extremely fast, and even those at the Origin Core Realm weren¡¯t able to escape from it.


    ¡°Hand over all your wealth and we won¡¯t kill you,¡± the child Demigod ordered.


    ¡°My Lord, spare me, I¡¯ll give it to you¡­!¡± several Sovereigns were extremely scared and kneeled down as their took out their interspatial items and weapons.


    The child Demigod and little thieving cat had sharp eyes. No one was able to hide anything.


    Those that handed over their wealth managed to survive. Some people tried to fight back, but all of them became nourishment for the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    At this moment in time, chaos broke out inside the battlefield. Everyone started to run away wherever the ghost ship went.


    Luckily, the aim of the ghost ship was to plunder, not to kill. As long as one gave up all their items, they would live.


    At the beginning, the ghost ship only plundered around the edges of the battlefield, but then started to progress toward the center.


    ¡°Which pirate ship is so daring?¡± the expressions of the Void God Realm Kings fighting in the air all became grim. The ghost ship didn¡¯t care about their identities and plundered anyone they saw.


    The Void God Realm Kings originally thought that the pirate ship was just going to plunder around the edges since they had the chance to do so, but from the looks of it, the pirate ship wanted to take everything.


    ¡°You pirates better give up!¡± a half-step King and several Sovereign Lords charged over. They all came from different forces. It was obvious that the ghost ship¡¯s actions caused all of them to be angry to the point of teaming up.


    ¡°Hand over your items and we won¡¯t kill you,¡± the child Demigod¡¯s expression was cold.


    ¡°Brat whose hair hasn¡¯t even grown!¡± the leading half-step King laughed and unleashed his half-step King Intent.


    Hu~~


    A surge of smoke formed a tornado and engulfed the group.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡± screams came from their group, including the half-step King, as they were devoured by the array. This scene shocked the battlefield, and chaos started to spread out in the middle of the fight.


    The ghost ship was unparalleled and stole everyone¡¯s wealth. Most Origin Core Realms handed over their items in order to live.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat kept collecting the spoils of war with a smile. Of course, there were several experts that tried to kill the little thieving cat, but they were all instantly slain, including a half-step King and two peak Sovereign Lords.


    After an example was made, the remaining cultivators drew in cold breaths.


    The fighting Void God Realm Kings in the air finally stopped fighting.


    ¡°What¡¯s this pirate ship¡¯s background?¡± the expressions of the Void God Realm Kings from the two-star sects started to become solemn. There was a youth, a child, a cat, and a skeleton on the ghost ship. This combination was extremely weird, but they were successfully plundering the entire two-star battlefield.


    ¡°We need to stop this pirate ship no matter what,¡± the dark star symbol on the Sky Star Demonic Lord¡¯s forehead glowed. If this pirate ship was able to retreat unharmed, then it would be extremely humiliating for the entire Red Dragon Island Zone.


    The five Void God Realm Kings came to an agreement. The Sky Flowing Sword King and the Sky Star Demonic Sect female went to finish off the pirate ship.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    ¡°Zhe zhe, more treasures,¡± the child Demigod was overjoyed. Seeing the two Kings come over, the child Demigod started to radiate a golden light, as if he had become a buddha, and the terrifying aura of the Void God Realm appeared. The child Demigod had finally revealed his cultivation.


    Boom!


    The Sky Flowing Sword King and the Sky Star Demonic Sect female both shook as if a mountain had crushed onto them, and they almost spat out blood.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    ¡°Go help them!¡±


    The expressions of the Sky Star Demonic Lord and company changed dramatically. The strength that the child Demigod displayed was comparable to a Peak-tier King. The Sky Flowing Sword King and female weren¡¯t his match. Even the Sky Star Demonic Lord didn¡¯t have the battle-power of a Peak-tier King.


    Boom! Boom! Bam~~~~!


    Explosions sounded from below and caused the earth to crack.


    ¡°Kneel down!¡± the child Demigod¡¯s small body released powerful energy, and two golden hands pressed down toward the Sky Flowing Sword King and the female King.


    Wah!


    Both Kings spat out mouthfuls of blood, and their faces went pale.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat quickly took their interspatial items.


    Hatred appeared in the female¡¯s eyes, and the sound of a sword hummed from the Sky Flowing Sword King¡¯s body. The two were about to counterattack, but the child Demigod snickered coldly.


    Bam!


    The two hands pressed downwards and turned the two Kings into puddles of blood, which was soon devoured by the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    The child Demigod¡¯s Golden Kun Sacred Body had reached the early stages of the 5th level, and he could defeat all Void God Realm Kings with his physical body alone. If he reached the late stages of the 5th level, he would be able to fight against Emperors with his Sacred Body alone.

 730 Double Domain

    The child Demigod¡¯s strength made the hearts of the other Kings go cold. In just an instant, two normal Void God Realm Kings were slain by the child Demigod.


    ¡°Hand over your interspatial items and I won¡¯t kill you,¡± the child Demigod licked his lips and glanced toward the three approaching Kings.


    The area was dead-silent. The strength and ability of the child Demigod made the hearts of the various experts jump. Even two Kings had been easily slain, so what would happen to those weaker than a King?


    ¡°Who¡­ are you?¡± the Sky Star Demonic Lord¡¯s face was grim, and the symbol on his forehead glowed.


    The power of those cultivating the Demonic Dao was famous across the Red Dragon Island Zone. Of the remaining three Kings, only his strength was close to a Peak-tier King. If the Sky Star Demonic Lord teamed up with the two other Kings of the Righteous Path, they had the ability to fight back against a Peak-tier King and maybe even win.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to repeat myself again,¡± the expression of the child Demigod became cold as he released his Demigod Intent and his Sacred Body power.


    Both sides became silent. The Sky Star Demonic Lord and the other two Kings didn¡¯t dare to do anything. Of the people on the ghost ship, only the child Demigod had attacked so far. There was still a mysterious youth aboard.


    ¡°Hmm? That youth disappeared?¡± the Divine Senses of the three Kings caught a slight disturbance in space.


    Lightning Wings Flying Technique!


    Shua!


    A pair of scarlet-colored wings covered in fire and lightning appeared in the air behind the Sky Star Demonic Lord and company. The three Kings felt a surge of flaming lightning, and they felt unable to breathe.


    Boom~~~


    The wings formed a storm that forced the three Kings to use their Magnificent Power to protect themselves.


    ¡°Master,¡± the child Demigod let out a breath. Although he might¡¯ve been able to win against the three Kings, he wouldn¡¯t be able to stop them if they wanted to run in three separate directions. However, now that Zhao Feng had used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and appeared behind them, the Sky Star Demonic Lord and company wouldn¡¯t have any chance of escaping.


    The child Demigod knew clearly how fast Zhao Feng was.


    ¡°¡¯Master¡¯?¡± hearing this word, the expressions of the Sky Star Demonic Lord and company changed dramatically as a chill enveloped their body. If this child was comparable to a Peak-tier King, then how strong would his master be?


    ¡°Please stop!¡± the elder with white hair and the female in white were both frightened and immediately called out. If they all fought, the Sky Star Demonic Lord might be able to escape with his strength, but the two of them were just normal Kings and were unlikely to escape.


    These two are both comparable to a Peak-tier King¡­. the Sky Star Demonic Lord lost his battle-intent and started to circulate his True Yuan in preparation to escape. Being the strongest Demonic Dao cultivator in the Red Dragon Island Zone, he was extremely wealthy. He easily surpassed other Kings in terms of wealth, and he didn¡¯t want all his wealth to be stolen.


    However, just as he was planning his escape, the youth behind him attacked:


    ¡°You¡¯re not going anywhere!¡±


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning on Zhao Feng¡¯s back expanded by dozens of meters and seemed to blot out the sun, and his Magnificent Power became stronger.


    Bam!


    Just a simple punch from Zhao Feng froze space.


    ¡°Not good! An Ice Sealing Domain!¡± the Sky Star Demonic Lord and company were engulfed in a storm of ice. Their bodies became cold, and a layer of frost started to spread across their bodies, decreasing their speed.


    On top of that, this punch also seemed to contain a maze.


    ¡°What¡­!?? A Soul Dao Domain!?¡±


    ¡°Double Domain!?¡±


    The hearts of the Sky Star Demonic Lord and company were filled with fear, and they were completely unable to fight back.


    Mystic Ice Domain! Illusion Maze Domain!


    The Mystic Ice Domain came from Zhao Feng¡¯s Mystic Ice Race bloodline, and a Domain had formed naturally. This meant that a simple punch from Zhao Feng contained two spatial domains: a Soul Dao Domain that affected the soul-dimension, and the Mystic Ice Domain that was biased more toward the physical dimension.


    The effect of the Mystic Ice Domain was to seal everything in ice. Anything within the Mystic Ice Domain would be sealed by the power of ice.


    The combined power of two domains was immeasurable.


    Bam!


    The Sky Star Demonic Lord was sent flying with one punch, and a layer of ice appeared on his body. He was already severely injured. In front of two domains, he didn¡¯t even have the ability to fight back at all, and even his soul was injured.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Illusion Maze Domain not only distorted mental energy, it also attacked the soul.


    ¡°My Lord, please stop!¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll do as you say!¡±


    The elder and the female in white were unable to do anything in the face of two spatial domains. They couldn¡¯t even touch Zhao Feng. The double domains put them into a giant labyrinth of ice.


    The Sky Star Demonic Lord lay in a corner of the maze as he tried to disperse the power of ice. His face was filled with fear; even if he was able to deal with the Mystic Ice Domain quickly enough, he couldn¡¯t escape the Illusion Maze Domain.


    Shua! Shua!


    The elder with white hair and the female in white both disappeared from the Sky Star Demonic Lord¡¯s sight after they surrendered.


    ¡°Fuck!¡± the Sky Star Demonic Lord gritted his teeth. The two Kings of the Righteous Path had given up so easily.


    The Sky Star Demonic Lord was the only one left in the double domains, and he was still unwilling. He had several important treasures and didn¡¯t want to lose them so easily.


    Miao miao!


    The white-haired elder and the female in white faced the little thieving cat¡¯s search.


    These two Void God Realm Kings had all the actual power within the two-star sects, and they were very wealthy.


    ¡°All of those at the Origin Core Realm, hand over everything,¡± the child Demigod crossed his hands and looked down at the battlefield. There were still quite a lot of Origin Core Realm cultivators that hadn¡¯t been plundered yet.


    The elder with white hair and the female felt helpless and bitter ¨C the battle between two-star sects had been completely conquered by three pirates and a cat.


    Right at this moment, the Sky Star Demonic Lord suddenly screamed and fell from the sky.


    Zhao Feng used his Eye Intent to send a Mental Energy Spike. Due to his overwhelming advantage in soul-strength, his attack almost made the Sky Star Demonic Sect Clan Master faint.


    Zhao Feng clapped his hands and let the little thieving cat and child Demigod clean everything up.


    My soul is severely injured. Even if my Yuan Soul managed to escape, I would still die, the Sky Star Demonic Sect Clan Master was utterly helpless and depressed. Who would¡¯ve imagined that the clan master of a two-and-a-half-star sect would be in such a situation?


    ¡°I surrender,¡± the Sky Star Demonic Sect Clan Master raised his hands and used his Divine Sense to tell everyone in his sect to give up.


    Now that all the experts on both sides had been captured, the battle soon came to an end. The entire two-star battlefield was then plundered.


    Three two-star sects and many one-star clans were plundered by a single pirate ship. This sounded utterly ridiculous.


    Zhao Feng and company used an entire half a day to take everything from the two-star battlefield.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat had satisfaction written all over its face as it started to organize the mountain of treasures like a miser. Zhao Feng¡¯s ancient metal ring finally started to be replenished. The child Demigod¡¯s eyes were also full of excitement.


    On the other hand, the upper echelon of the three two-star sects acted as if they had been raped. They all felt helpless.


    ¡°Thank you all for your welcome and your cooperation. We won¡¯t be staying,¡± Zhao Feng and company entered the ghost ship after organizing their spoils of war.


    Whoosh!


    The sects watched the ghost ship fly away.


    Hu~~


    As the ghost ship disappeared from sight, the upper echelons all let out a breath, then started to curse. Some people even started to cry.


    ¡°Arghhhhh! My Sky Cloud Mother Stone~~~~!¡±


    ¡°My ten-thousand-year-old Wood Ginseng and several hundred years of savings¡­!¡±


    Many experts went crazy on the battlefield, but none of them dared to chase after the ghost ship.


    A battle that had lasted several hundred years came to an end just like that.


    The whole reason they were fighting was because of the distribution of wealth, but now that all of the experts were poor, how could they have the heart to fight?


    Of course, this was a blessing to those in the low-middle echelons. From this moment onwards, there would be no large fights in the Red Dragon Island Zone anymore. All of the one-star clans and two-star sects would focus on recovery.


    A big part of the entire Red Dragon Island Zone¡¯s wealth was taken from this plundering. One had to know that 90% of the world¡¯s wealth was in the hands of a small number of experts.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­!¡± the sound of Zhao Feng and company laughing could be heard outside.


    Within the captain¡¯s cabin, Zhao Feng and company started to split the wealth.


    Being the captain, Zhao Feng obviously had the right to distribute it. Amongst them, the little thieving cat and little Kun Yun each got 20% of the cut while the skeletal Division Leader got 10%. Even though it was just 10%, it was still enough to buy several one-star clans.


    Being the captain, Zhao Feng gave himself 50% of the share.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, plundering a two-star battlefield gives you this much?¡±


    ¡°No wonder pirates are everywhere in the limitless ocean.¡±


    ¡°Our plundering also brought peace to the island zone. We¡¯re making the world a better place¡­.¡±


    Miao miao!


    The four started to talk shamelessly to each other, but they didn¡¯t realize that no pirate forces would dare to offend a two-star sect unless they were a Pirate King from the Pirate Sacred Land.


    Little Kun Yun even suggested to raid a couple more.


    ¡°Don¡¯t show off too much. There¡¯s a sky above the skies, and there are people stronger than us. Back then, the Pirate Emperor had unparalleled battle-power, but he showed off too much and got killed by a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord. The Wind Lightning Emperor had unrivalled speed but was still killed by the Purple Night Sacred Lord,¡± Zhao Feng shook his head and wasn¡¯t blinded by momentary gain. He wasn¡¯t arrogant enough to believe he was stronger than the Pirate Emperor or the Wind Lightning Emperor when they were at their peak.


    In the limitless ocean, the ghost ship continued flying toward the destination.


    ¡°There¡¯s only two or three months left before I reach the Sky Qin Sacred Palace¡­.¡±

 731 Sky Sacred Qin Palace 1

    ¡°There¡¯s only two or three months left before I reach the Sky Qin Sacred Palace¡­.¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    As he got closer to his destination, he felt somewhat uneasy and impatient. The image of a quiet figure that seemed straight out of a painting appeared in his mind. She was clothed in white and seemed to be pouting as she smiled toward him.


    ¡°It¡¯s been seven years¡­.¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath and showed rare signs of uneasiness.


    Seven years ago, he was just seventeen years old as he went to the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    Time had flown, and many things had happened in these seven years.


    Putting aside whether Liu Qinxin had survived or not, too many things could happen in seven years. Even if she was still alive, would she remember the promise from back then? Now that she was in another place where she didn¡¯t know anyone¡­ would she already be married?


    Seven years. If Liu Qinxin didn¡¯t die, it was impossible to imagine what could¡¯ve happened to her.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath and calmed down. He needed a confirmed answer whether she was alive or not. This wasn¡¯t just his wish, it was also the Flooding Lake City Lord¡¯s.


    In the limitless ocean, the ghost ship maintained a high speed as it passed through the air.


    Since the Yuan Qi in the limitless ocean was extremely faint, the pressure from Heaven and Earth was extremely small, meaning that one¡¯s speed would be at least ten times faster than inland.


    Despite that, the ghost ship still needed around two or three months to reach the island zone where the Sky Sacred Qin Palace was located.


    Within the ship, Zhao Feng and company started to organize the spoils of war.


    Zhao Feng alone took up half of the wealth. Amongst the victims, the Sky Star Demonic Lord was the richest. He had seven or eight peak-tier Earth-grade weapons alone, as well as several rare inheritance treasures.


    ¡°Seven Star Soul Forming Grass¡­ ten-thousand-year-old Wood Ginseng¡­ Cloud Abyss True Fruit¡­¡±


    Zhao Feng found that several of the items were helpful to him. The Seven Star Soul Forming Grass in particular could speed up the rate at which the soul evolved, and it could even heal the soul.


    ¡°No wonder the Sky Star Demonic Lord was so unwilling¡­.¡± a smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    Being the oldest King in the Red Dragon Island Zone and the number one expert of the Demonic Dao, it wasn¡¯t hard to guess that the Sky Star Demonic Lord was going to use these three items in order to break through to a Peak-tier King and create a foundation to become a Void God Realm Emperor.


    The ten-thousand-year-old Wood Ginseng and the Cloud Abyss True Fruit could both increase one¡¯s True Yuan and cultivation. Although the main point of the Void God Realm was to evolve the soul, the Crystal Core would still expand. Furthermore, normal spatial domains used the True Yuan dimension as the source of power.


    Zhao Feng had just reached the Void God Realm, and the True Yuan in his Crystal Core was as big as a lake. However, this was just the beginning. When one¡¯s cultivation reached the peak Void God Realm, their True Yuan dimension would turn into an ocean.


    The Sky Star Demonic Lord also had a Blood Demon King Pearl on him, which was extremely helpful to those cultivating body-strengthening techniques of the Demonic Dao. The child Demigod begged for this pearl, and Zhao Feng didn¡¯t cultivate the Demonic Dao, so he didn¡¯t really care.


    For the next two or three months, the four started to digest the plundered wealth and increase their strength.


    However, there was only a small number of treasures that were helpful to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng first used the ten-thousand-year-old Wood Ginseng, the Seven Star Soul Forming Grass, and the Cloud Sky True Fruit. These were all resources that would¡¯ve created a solid foundation for the Sky Star Demonic Lord to break through to an Emperor.


    Zhao Feng only used one and a half months to fully digest all three of these top treasures. On average, he used half a month to digest each one.


    The Seven Star Soul Forming Grass made Zhao Feng¡¯s soul a tiny bit more condensed, but even a tiny bit was difficult for Zhao Feng at this point. After all, his soul was constantly being strengthened by the God Tribulation Lightning, the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, and the Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    His soul-strength wasn¡¯t too far away from an Emperor¡¯s to begin with, and after using the Seven Star Soul Forming Grass, his soul was almost comparable to an Emperor¡¯s.


    The ten-thousand-year-old Wood Ginseng and the Cloud Abyss True Fruit had greatly expanded his True Yuan dimension. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhao Feng had only just reached the Void God Realm not long ago, he probably would¡¯ve been able to break through to the middle stages of the Void God Realm within a couple months, but since his foundation wasn¡¯t strong enough yet, he couldn¡¯t use these two treasures to break through.


    Although he hadn¡¯t broke through, after using the ten-thousand-year-old Wood Ginseng and the Cloud Abyss True Fruit, his foundation wasn¡¯t much weaker than the older early-stage Void God Realm cultivators.


    ¡°I still have some Spiritual Fruits from the Ancient Dream Realm, so I might be able to reach the middle-stage Void God Realm within half a year.¡±


    Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t worried. The most important goal was still to focus on the God Tribulation Lightning and increase his actual strength, and battle techniques could raise his strength the fastest within the shortest amount of time.


    As of right now, Zhao Feng had a hundred wisps of God Tribulation Lightning. Even though they were each just a wisp, a total of one hundred was not to be underestimated.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s soul techniques had the element of the God Tribulation Lightning, and even his Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning had the faint symbol of God Tribulation Lightning. Now that the God Tribulation Lightning was imprinted in his soul, it was much easier to comprehend than before.


    A slight scarlet-golden color had also started to appear in Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning.


    His Wind Lightning Inheritance wasn¡¯t advancing toward pure gold anymore. The scarlet-gold Wind Lightning should be the highest level of the Wind Lightning Inheritance.


    Back then, the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s Wind Lightning Inheritance could reach dark gold ¨C the limit of the golden Wind Lightning. Zhao Feng had started to surpass the Wind Lightning Inheritance due to the Ancient Dream Realm aura. He could stabilize the clash between Fire and Lightning much better, and it was because of this that Zhao Feng was able to push the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning to another level.


    ¡°Once I complete the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning, its power will surpass the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s Golden Destruction Wind Lightning,¡± Zhao Feng confirmed his path.


    The main difference between him and the Wind Lightning Emperor was cultivation. If Zhao Feng had the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s cultivation, he wouldn¡¯t need to be scared of the Emperor of Death.


    Within the ghost ship, after receiving large amounts of resources, the child Demigod, the little thieving cat, and the skeletal Division Leader were all progressing steadily.


    Only a small amount of the best resources from the two-star battlefield could help Zhao Feng and the child Demigod at this point. The mid- to high-tier resources were mainly given to the skeletal Division Leader or used to increase the strength of the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array.


    Most of the cursed ghost-corpses were now at the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Zhao Feng would occasionally enter the Ancient Dream Realm and kill some of the bigger animals and use their flesh to feed the ghost-corpses. The potential of these cursed ghost-corpses had increased dramatically after obtaining the Ten Thousand Withering Ghost Bone Race bloodline and the flesh from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng guessed that the current limit of these ghost-corpses was the half-step King level, and if they could kill enough actual Kings, there was a small chance they could become a King.


    Back at the Heaven¡¯s Legacy City, the Ancient Race bloodline had been detected in Zhao Feng and the cursed ghost-corpses, dramatically decreasing the price they had to pay to strengthen their bloodlines. He was suspicious that this was linked to the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Time flew by quickly, and the ghost ship passed by island zones one after another. They were getting closer to the Sky Sacred Qin Palace.


    ¡°There¡¯s still one month left¡­.¡± Zhao Feng suddenly opened his eyes one day.


    The skeletal Division Leader had broken through to the peak Great Origin Core Realm, and it wasn¡¯t far away from the half-step King level. The change in aura caught the attention of both Zhao Feng and the child Demigod, but the two didn¡¯t really care and just continued to cultivate.


    Zhao Feng tried to raise his strength in every way possible. The child Demigod was the same, and he learned various secret techniques that he had in his previous life in order to recover his strength.


    In the last one month¡¯s time, Zhao Feng focused on building the Wind Lightning Domain and comprehending the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash.


    He had started to understand the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, and his speed increased dramatically. Zhao Feng already had a plan on how to form the Wind Lightning Domain back at the Pirate Sacred Land, but his Mystic Ice Domain had formed before it because of the new bloodline.


    The Mystic Ice Domain was a domain that came naturally with the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline, and it could be formed with only a tiny bit of comprehension. Zhao Feng felt that the sealing effect of the Mystic Ice Domain was better and easier to form in comparison to the Wind Lightning Domain.


    Now that Zhao Feng had broken through to the Void God Realm and his True Yuan dimension had expanded, there were no more bottlenecks in creating the Wind Lightning Domain.


    ¡°The reason why I couldn¡¯t form the Wind Lightning Domain in the past was because my cultivation hadn¡¯t reached the Void God Realm,¡± Zhao Feng understood and started to form the outline of his Wind Lightning Domain with no difficulty.


    Half a month later, Zhao Feng¡¯s Wind Lightning Domain was finally formed.


    The Wind Lightning Domain was based on the Wind Lightning Inheritance, and it used his True Yuan dimension as its source. If Zhao Feng wanted to change his cultivation in the future, then the Wind Lightning Domain would disappear.


    Weng~~


    Thousands upon thousands of lightning bolts started to appear around the ghost ship, forming a spatial domain that brewed a terrifying storm.


    Zhao Feng classified this spatial domain as an offensive domain. As long as he sent out a punch, the Wind Lightning Domain would gather together and double his power.


    Wind Lightning Domain¡­! This is Zhao Feng¡¯s third spatial domain already, waves appeared in the child Demigod¡¯s heart.


    That¡¯s right. Zhao Feng had now completed three spatial domains.


    Dao of the Soul ¨C Illusion Maze Domain.


    Bloodline ¨C Mystic Ice Domain.


    Cultivation technique ¨C Wind Lightning Domain.


    It was unimaginable that an early-stage Void God Realm King was able to form three spatial domains.


    Of course, the first two were technically domains that came naturally to him. Only the Wind Lightning Domain had actually cost Zhao Feng any effort to create.


    ¡°I wonder what the effect of three domains overlapping will be,¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but feel slightly expectant.


    Half a month later, the ghost ship finally arrived at the Gan Sacred Island Zone. According to the map, the Sky Sacred Qin Palace was located here.

 732 Sky Sacred Qin Palace 2

    ¡°Master, we¡¯ve already entered the Gan Sacred Island Zone and will arrive at the Sky Sacred Qin Palace shortly,¡± the skeletal Division Leader reported as he controlled the ghost ship. At the same time, it was puzzled ¨C why did Zhao Feng want to come here? Zhao Feng never said anything about the reason.


    Zhao Feng swiped his hand and created a screen of water and ice that revealed the map of this island zone.


    The Gan Sacred Island Zone was extremely big ¨C double the size of the Tianlu Islands Zone. There were many forces here, and there were many inheritances of the Dao of Entertainment.


    ¡°According to the information from ten thousand years ago, there are five or six two-star sects here, and the Sky Sacred Qin Palace is a peak two-star sect of the Dao of Entertainment,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled as he started to think.


    A peak two-star sect specializing in the Dao of Entertainment. This was indeed unusual.


    It could be said that this place was the start of the Dao of Entertainment within the Cang Ocean. The Sky Sacred Qin Palace was the biggest Dao of Entertainment sect from ten thousand years ago.


    According to the information, the Sky Sacred Qin Palace was in the center of the ¡°Sky Qin Zone¡± in the most popular place. Of course, all the information Zhao Feng knew was provided by the Purple Saint Partial Spirit, so it was outdated. He couldn¡¯t confirm whether the Sky Sacred Qin Palace was still in the Sky Qin Zone or not.


    Several days later, a blue, red, and purple-colored glow appeared in front. The islands were in the shape of a qin, and the mountains and lakes inside could be faintly seen. The aura these islands gave off was extremely peaceful, as if there were birds chirping and qins playing. It wasn¡¯t like other places that were filled with chaotic and diverse auras, such as the Azure Flower Continent.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, this should be the place,¡± Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head. The aura from this place seemed to be from the Dao of Entertainment, which was different from normal forces.


    Whoosh!


    The ghost ship passed by the barrier toward inland and caused sparks to fly on the surface of the ship. There was an invisible barrier surrounding any island, and one had to reach at least the True Lord Rank to venture into the outside world. Therefore, anyone that could travel in the limitless ocean was an expert, and it was normal to see those at the Origin Core Realm.


    After reaching inland, the speed of the ghost ship decreased dramatically due to the pressure from the air and many other factors.


    The size of the Sky Qin Zone was two or three times bigger than the Azure Flower Continent, and Zhao Feng still needed to find out the exact location of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace. Furthermore, most people might not even know where it was. For example, when Zhao Feng was back at the Zhao Family, he didn¡¯t even know there was a world of cultivation out there, and when he joined the Broken Moon Clan, he didn¡¯t know the location of the Ten Great Clans.


    ¡°It¡¯ll be best to find a cultivator at least at the True Spirit Realm and ask them,¡± Zhao Feng decided and used his Divine Sense as he headed toward the direction of the stronger auras.


    The speed of Zhao Feng and the ghost ship definitely wouldn¡¯t be as fast as when they were in the limitless ocean, but it still wasn¡¯t too bad.


    Half a day later, after passing through several forests and lakes, the Yuan Qi disturbance from ahead became stronger.


    ¡°Hmm?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Divine Sense landed on a beautiful island. There were many human auras here, and many of them had reached the True Spirit Realm. Some had even reached the Origin Core Realm. Furthermore, Zhao Feng saw many cultivators of the Dao of Entertainment.


    This is the place, Zhao Feng revealed a joyful look and flew toward that direction. Since the ghost ship was a bit eye-catching, Zhao Feng put the skeletal Division Leader and the ship away.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng turned into an arc of lightning and headed toward the very center of the island.


    As the aura of a Void God Realm was too strong and shocking, Zhao Feng limited his cultivation to the Origin Core Realm. However, even then, Origin Core Realm experts were called ¡°Sovereigns¡± inland.


    At this moment in time, there was a large-scaled banquet happening, and most of the participants were youths who were at the True Spirit Realm.


    ¡°As expected of the decennial Dao of Entertainment Meeting. All of the top youths in the island zone that cultivate the Dao of Entertainment are gathered here.¡±


    ¡°Although we don¡¯t have the right to participate, it¡¯s already rare that we are able to watch.¡±


    Low murmurs sounded from the outer crowd.


    There was an enormous open field in the very center of the gathering, and there were seating areas around the field. At the very center of the field were two large stages, each five kilometers long and a few kilometers apart.


    At this moment in time, there was a girl in black and a graceful girl on each of the stages.


    The girl in black blew a flute and sent surging soundwaves like tornadoes toward the girl opposite her. The other girl calmly held a lute and sent out soft multi-colored circular vibrations of sound that blocked the attack.


    ¡°Dao of Entertainment Meeting?¡± Zhao Feng floated in the clouds and watched the Dao of Entertainment Meeting below.


    All of the participants were at least at the True Mystic Rank, and there was even a small number of Origin Core Realms. It seemed like these geniuses came from one- and two-star forces.


    After some fighting, the girl in black didn¡¯t have enough energy left. She coughed out blood due to the other girl¡¯s quick sound attack.


    ¡°Good! Good!¡±


    ¡°As expected of a Core disciple of the Six Qin Palace!¡±


    After the victor was decided, the sound of cursing and cheering sounded. However, most of their gazes still turned toward the three Origin Core Realm geniuses on the stands. These three were prodigies in the Dao of Entertainment, and there was one male and two females.


    ¡°Mystic Sound Hall, Six Qin Palace, Sky Sacred Qin Palace¡­ the three Head disciples.¡±


    These three became the center of attention.


    The male was calm and handsome while the two females had elegant auras, as if they were beauties from within a painting.


    The youth at the very center held a qin, and just a side-glance would steal one¡¯s soul away.


    One of the girls was clothed in complete white, and her hair was so long it reached the ground. She had an extremely elegant aura and seemed to be a goddess from a picture. The aura and look of this genius that cultivated the Dao of Entertainment was unparalleled, and the males present were unable to hide their love and shock.


    ¡°Qinxin!¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in the clouds as he saw the female. The girl in white had a quiet and elegant Dao of Entertainment aura that fit with the figure in his memories.


    ¡°In the fight just now. Yue¡¯er won by luck. I hope Goddess Snow Qin can give a pointer or two,¡± the victorious graceful female smiled, and although her tone was extremely respectful, there was a faint coldness in her eyes.


    Zhao Feng could see that this graceful female¡¯s strength and tactics surpassed the girl in black quite a bit, and she had reached the peak True Lord Rank.


    ¡°Lin Yue¡¯er, your Six Qin Nine Sounds tune has only been mastered a bit, and how you use your Hollow Mystic Sounds is still slightly lacking¡­.¡± the so-called Goddess Snow Qin¡¯s voice was extremely soft. Just the sound alone seemed to create an image of a flowing stream.


    She¡¯s even merged the Dao of Entertainment into her voice and is connecting with Heaven and Earth¡­. the expression of the slightly challenging graceful female changed dramatically. She looked into Goddess Snow Qin¡¯s eyes and saw that they were extremely clear like the moon, and she had the ability to see into her heart. This made her feel guilty.


    Being the number two Core disciple of the Six Qin Palace, she originally wanted to challenge Li Xueyi and test out her strength, but the latter¡¯s mastery of the Dao of Entertainment had reached an incredible level. Not only had Li Xueyi made her fall into a mystic state, it was with a mere sentence.


    ¡°Li Xueyi¡¯s mastery of the Dao of Entertainment has reached such a level!? Her every smile, breath, and action radiate the power of Entertainment,¡± the other two prodigies were stunned.


    ¡°This Li Xueyi is called the number one genius of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace of the last several thousand years.¡±


    ¡°Her appearance has brought hope to the Sky Sacred Qin Palace, which has been weakening, and she is known as the hope of her sect.¡±


    Discussion broke out below.


    Just a few words from Li Xueyi brought a wave of shock to the Dao of Entertainment Meeting since her talent was only a rumor beforehand. The other two prodigies of the Dao of Entertainment were silent for a long time.


    ¡°Li Xueyi? So, she¡¯s not Qinxin,¡± Zhao Feng watched the battles unfold below.


    The Dao of Entertainment Meeting was similar to the Genius Summit or the True Dragon Gathering. It was a place where the geniuses of the Dao of Entertainment sparred and interacted with each other, and the girl called Li Xueyi was the Head disciple of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace. Her mastery of the qin and her cultivation surpassed everyone present.


    As time passed, more pointers and reviews were given. Li Xueyi also sparred twice, and her gentle touch of the qin seemed to resonate with the power of Heaven and Earth. Even the handsome male, one of the other three prodigies, wasn¡¯t able to last longer than ten breaths in front of Li Xueyi.


    ¡°Incredible! A measly late-stage Small Origin Core Realm can use the power of the qin to release battle-power comparable to a Sovereign Lord,¡± Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but cheer.


    The reason why he stayed was because Li Xueyi had an aura similar to Liu Qinxin¡¯s, and even her appearance was similar.


    ¡°She comes from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace, and she is 40-50% similar to Qinxin in terms of aura and appearance, but Qinxin isn¡¯t here,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. He had scanned his Divine Sense across the place but didn¡¯t find Liu Qinxin, and this made his heart go cold.


    Seven years down the road¡­ if Liu Qinxin was at the Sky Sacred Qin Palace the whole time, she definitely would¡¯ve been able to participate in the Dao of Entertainment Meeting with her talent, and she might even be one of the three prodigies.


    However, Zhao Feng¡¯s Divine Sense covered the entire area and didn¡¯t find the aura of Liu Qinxin.

 733 Sky Sacred Qin Palace 3

    Zhao Feng watched the entire gathering from above without leaving because he wanted to find tracks of Liu Qinxin.


    The Dao of Entertainment Meeting started to come to an end, and Li Xueyi became the protagonist of the meeting. Her mastery of the qin surpassed all the geniuses of several generations of the Gan Sacred Island Zone.


    The other two prodigies in the Gan Sacred Island Zone weren¡¯t even able to last more than ten breaths against her. Even some of the elder generations present felt worthless.


    ¡°She¡¯s even more terrifying than the rumors. This Li Xueyi is named as the top genius of the past several thousand years of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace, and she probably still has hidden tricks.¡±


    ¡°This girl has the fate of reviving the Sky Sacred Qin Palace.¡±


    The other experts of the older generation were slightly worried. Ten thousand years ago, the Sky Sacred Qin Palace was a peak two-star sect that had once entered the Floating Dream Sacred Land, but several thousand years later, this two-star sect started to weaken and lose its status as the ruler of the Dao of Entertainment.


    Many people were starting to leave as the meeting ended, but Li Xueyi¡¯s smile caused the hearts of many youths to be dragged away. Some geniuses of the Dao of Entertainment finally mustered their courage and were about to go up and talk to Goddess Snow Qin, but right at this moment:


    Whoosh!


    An arc of lightning flashed down from the sky.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there!?¡±


    ¡°Goddess, watch out!¡±


    The nearby geniuses close to Li Xueyi exclaimed. The person was extremely fast, and his aura had reached the Sovereign Lord Rank, but he didn¡¯t attack after landing.


    ¡°Which bastard dares to have impure plans toward Goddess Snow Qin?¡±


    The nearby geniuses calmed down and stared at the youth covered in lightning with wariness. This youth had his hands behind his back, and he was handsome. The aura radiating from him had reached the Sovereign Lord Rank.


    Goddess Snow Qin and the nearby geniuses didn¡¯t dare to do anything. The genius with the highest cultivation was Li Xueyi herself, and she was only at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Li Xueyi¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn¡¯t panic. Her voice seemed to be an angel¡¯s.


    She inspected this youth closely. His talent and cultivation surpassed everyone present. Apart from the Floating Dream Sacred Land, it would be hard to find such a genius in any of the other island zones.


    ¡°This one is called Zhao Feng and would like to take Lady Li moongazing,¡± the youth smiled and seemed to be talking about a very normal situation.


    Moongazing? the geniuses present were all stunned. This unknown youth wanted to hit on Goddess Snow Qin in broad daylight?


    ¡°And if I don¡¯t want to?¡± Li Xueyi¡¯s eyes were as calm as water. No one could see what she was thinking.


    ¡°You will,¡± Zhao Feng smiled faintly and slowly walked toward Li Xueyi. All of the clues led to the Li Xueyi. She was the Head disciple of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace, and if Liu Qinxin was also in her sect, she would definitely know about it. Furthermore, with her talent, she had most likely entered the Sky Sacred Qin Inheritance as well.


    Since there was a slight similarity between Liu Qinxin¡¯s aura and Li Xueyi¡¯s, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use force to search her soul.


    Li Xueyi couldn¡¯t help but inspect Zhao Feng with curiosity. Instinct told her that this man had no ill intent.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare try to harm Goddess Snow Qin!¡±


    The other geniuses present roared in anger. They were rather protective of her; maybe this was a good chance to perform in front of the Goddess. Although the cultivation of this youth was strong, they had a bunch of geniuses and older-generation experts on their side.


    Zhao Feng ignored these geniuses and slowly walked toward Li Xueyi.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The geniuses that tried to go near him were sent flying by an invisible power and coughed out blood.


    Surprise appeared in Li Xueyi¡¯s eyes. Even she wasn¡¯t able to see through Zhao Feng.


    ¡°Which brat dares to cause trouble?¡± several Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords appeared from different directions, and one of them was even a half-step King female dressed in red.


    One half-step King and three Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords quickly flew over, worried that Zhao Feng would harm Li Xueyi. Zhao Feng ignored them and kept on walking slowly toward Li Xueyi. He even reached out with his hand and made a gentlemen-like gesture.


    This scene caused the female in red and the experts of the older generation to become angry. This brat dared to ignore everyone!?


    Boom~~~~!


    When these experts of the older generation got close to Zhao Feng, a Magnificent Power enveloped them.


    ¡°What!!?¡±


    ¡°How is this possible¡­ Magnificent Power!?¡±


    The female in red and other three were restricted in the air and couldn¡¯t even think about fighting back. Fear and shock were written in the eyes of the four experts, and the field became dead-silent.


    ¡°You¡­!¡± Li Xueyi¡¯s expression finally changed as she looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    ¡°Senior, what do you need? To trouble a junior of the Dao of Entertainment?¡± the female in red took a deep breath and said.


    At this point in time, every expert of the older generation had turned stone-like and didn¡¯t dare to do anything.


    ¡°I just want to talk to her,¡± Zhao Feng said calmly.


    ¡°If Senior wants to, how would I dare not to?¡± Li Xueyi bit her lips and glanced toward Zhao Feng deeply with bitterness and helplessness. How could she not see Zhao Feng¡¯s true level now? One half-step King and three Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords had been completely restricted by him. If he was willing, Zhao Feng could kill them all with just one thought.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go then,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head in admiration and grabbed Li Xueyi¡¯s soft hand as his Magnificent Power shot them into the sky.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng and Li Xueyi had disappeared from sight.


    Siii!!


    The experts present all drew in cold breaths, and some geniuses were completely dazed.


    ¡°Void God Realm King!¡± the Sovereign Lords that had been about to attack just then were filled with bitterness.


    ¡°And probably not a normal King either. Luckily, it seems that he doesn¡¯t have any ill-intent toward Li Xueyi. If he really wanted to, all of us would be dead,¡± the female in red looked toward the direction where the two had disappeared to.


    A while later, on a lone peak several miles away, Zhao Feng and Li Xueyi stood side by side.


    ¡°You just¡­!¡± Li Xueyi pulled her hand away from Zhao Feng¡¯s and her face turned into a rare shade of red. Apart from anger and embarrassment, there was also an indescribable feeling, and her heart rate sped up a bit. No matter what, Zhao Feng was a King ¨C someone who looked down at life from above.


    ¡°No,¡± Zhao Feng murmured. At the beginning, he had slight hope that Li Xueyi¡¯s appearance and aura were just modified and she was actually another person, but after physical contact, Zhao Feng confirmed that Li Xueyi and Liu Qinxin were two completely different people.


    ¡°Lady Li, you come from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace. Did the Sky Sacred Qin Inheritance of your sect open seven years ago?¡± Zhao Feng went straight to the point.


    ¡°Sky Sacred Qin Inheritance?¡± Li Xueyi thought for a while before answering, ¡°Maybe that¡¯s what the outside world calls it. Seven years ago was when the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace opened.¡±


    Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. When Zhao Feng heard this, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye twitched slightly.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat also appeared and wiped the drool from its mouth before drinking two gulps from an alcohol flask.


    ¡°What a cute cat,¡± Li Xueyi couldn¡¯t help but look at the little thieving cat.


    ¡°Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace? What is it, and was there anyone not from your sect that entered it?¡± Zhao Feng said in a solemn tone and knew that he was at the critical point.


    ¡°Senior, you¡¯re asking me so many so quickly. Can you first answer one of mine?¡± Li Xueyi counter-asked as a rare sign of childishness appeared on her face. Her face became faintly red, and she looked more charming. Maybe it was because Zhao Feng was so nonchalant and looked so young, but Li Xueyi wasn¡¯t scared of him.


    Zhao Feng paused for a second before replying, ¡°Go ahead.¡±


    ¡°Senior, how old are you? I feel like you¡¯re not one of those Void God Realm Kings that are several thousand years old,¡± Li Xueyi asked curiously.


    ¡°Twenty-four,¡± Zhao Feng was expressionless.


    ¡°Twenty¡­ four?¡± Li Xueyi was dazed and her face was filled with utter shock. She never would have thought that this King¡¯s age was similar to hers. Being the number one genius of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace of the past several thousand years, she was extremely talented, but this youth who was the same age as her was already a King.


    ¡°Now you can answer my questions,¡± Zhao Feng smiled with a tinge of smugness.


    Li Xueyi suppressed the shock in her heart before forcefully calming herself down and answering Zhao Feng¡¯s questions.


    ¡°The Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace apparently comes from the Ancient Era of the Fan Universe, and it was found by the creator of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace dozens of millennia ago and made into the core of our sect. However, even the founder, who was half a step away from entering the Mystic Light Realm, was unable to uncover all its secrets¡­.¡± Li Xueyi first started to tell the history of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    Zhao Feng started to think. It seemed very likely that the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace took Liu Qinxin away during the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. However, since this inheritance belonged to the Dao of Entertainment and rarely appeared, no one paid attention to it.


    ¡°Were there any outsiders that entered the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace seven years ago?¡± Zhao Feng continued.


    Hearing that Li Xueyi started to think.


    ¡°If you asked anyone else, there might be no answer, but when I entered the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace seven years ago, I was in front of all the other geniuses by a mile, and I faintly saw a figure on the thirty-second floor,¡± Li Xueyi¡¯s answer was uncertain.


    Figure? Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes locked on to Li Xueyi.


    ¡°Seven years ago, I thought it was just me. The Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace is split into forty-nine floors. The higher one goes, the more talented one is in the Dao of Entertainment. I surpassed all the other geniuses of the sect by far back then, so how could there be someone in front of me?¡± Li Xueyi bit her lips.


    She always thought that it was just her and her imagination. She didn¡¯t believe anyone else had talent in the Dao of Entertainment that surpassed hers. Because she didn¡¯t want to believe it, she couldn¡¯t accept it, and Li Xueyi instinctively thought it was just a mistake.


    Hearing up to there, Zhao Feng could almost confirm that Liu Qinxin had entered the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    ¡°Take me to the Sky Sacred Qin Palace.¡±

 734 Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace

    Zhao Feng took Li Xueyi and flew for ten thousand miles without hesitation.


    Mountains and lakes appeared ahead. The scenery seemed like something out of a painting, and it contained the elegance and beauty of nature itself, as if it wasn¡¯t part of civilization. This quiet and calm image made one dazed, and Zhao Feng¡¯s slightly impatient heart calmed down.


    Although he may have lost some things during his path of cultivation, he always aimed to strive for freedom and guiltlessness.


    ¡°We¡¯re here,¡± Li Xueyi led Zhao Feng to a mountain full of the faint sounds of a qin. This was the Sky Sacred Qin Palace, an extremely calm place that had no fighting.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye sensed the aura here and finally understood why the Sky Sacred Qin Palace had started to weaken over the years, and why the forces that cultivated the Dao of Entertainment found it hard to reach the peak ¨C it was too peaceful. Such a safe environment meant less competition and less battle-intent.


    ¡°Xueyi!¡±


    ¡°Martial Sister Li!¡±


    Many disciples greeted Li Xueyi on the way, and some looked curiously toward Zhao Feng. The eyes of some male disciples couldn¡¯t help but become filled with jealousy and envy as they watched Zhao Feng and Li Xueyi travel shoulder to shoulder.


    ¡°Dear Regulators, this is a guest that Master invited here,¡± Li Xueyi said, and the members of the sect could hear the meaning in Li Xueyi¡¯s words and left.


    Li Xueyi felt slightly calmer. The person next to her was a Void God Realm King. It wouldn¡¯t be fun for anyone if someone offended him.


    The two soon arrived in front of a palace that was in the middle of a white lotus.


    ¡°The Palace Master and First Elder are in seclusion,¡± a male and female in front of the palace stopped them.


    Zhao Feng understood the situation of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace from Li Xueyi. They had two Void God Realm Kings, which were the Palace Master and the First Elder. The two were also husband and wife.


    Seclusion? The couple¡¯s not ¡°dual cultivating,¡± right? Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but wickedly think. As he became older, he wasn¡¯t the dumb and pure youth from back then. He knew a lot about what could happen between males and females.


    ¡°Senior Zhao, you¡­¡± Li Xueyi felt troubled. The Palace Master and First Elder were both in seclusion, but Zhao Feng was also a Void God Realm King and not to be treated with disrespect.


    ¡°I can¡¯t wait,¡± Zhao Feng decided after thinking for a while. Once he stayed in one place for too long, the danger from the Pursuit of Death would increase. One had to know that Zhao Feng and company had just raided a two-star battlefield not long ago, and the girl with the Eye of Destiny wasn¡¯t there just for show.


    Boom!


    A Magnificent Power suddenly crushed toward the palace in front, and a multi-colored barrier appeared, forming a layer of protection.


    ¡°You¡­! Stop!¡± Li Xueyi¡¯s expression couldn¡¯t help but change as she felt the Magnificent Power, but Zhao Feng controlled it very well and only unleashed it on a small area, otherwise the entire mountain might¡¯ve crumbled.


    Crack!


    The barrier around the palace started to crack. One had to know that Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was almost on par with an Emperor¡¯s, and his Intent was also extremely strong.


    ¡°Who is it!?¡±


    ¡°Which King dares to attack the Qin Palace?¡±


    The shouts of a male and female came from within the palace, and Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back and a faint smile on his face.


    Li Xueyi looked at this youth surrounded in Magnificent Power with a complex expression. Was this young King not scared of facing the anger of two Kings?


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two figures covered in Magnificent Power appeared. One was a noble beauty ¨C the Palace Master ¨C and the other scholarly male was the First Elder.


    ¡°Xueyi,¡± the gazes of the two glanced back and forth between Zhao Feng and Li Xueyi. It seemed like they were peaceful and had no problems with each other. The two Kings let out a breath, but they couldn¡¯t help but be suspicious of the relationship between them.


    Could Xueyi have found a King husband? the gaze of the beauty made Li Xueyi¡¯s face go red, and she knew that her master had misunderstood.


    The Palace Master and First Elder didn¡¯t get angry. They first inspected Zhao Feng. Being experts that cultivated the Dao of Entertainment, they were peaceful people. Furthermore, this King was extremely young, and he caught their attention without harming even a flower.


    The two Kings looked at each other and confirmed that they didn¡¯t know Zhao Feng.


    ¡°This one is called Zhao Feng, and I come from the True Martial Sacred Zone in need of help from the two seniors of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace,¡± Zhao Feng said humbly.


    ¡°Please,¡± the two Kings had a good impression of Zhao Feng since he didn¡¯t display any arrogance.


    The Palace Master was even willing for a relationship to form between Li Xueyi and Zhao Feng. After all, it was rare to see such a young King, and his Intent seemed to be even slightly stronger than theirs.


    Within a tidy hall, the couple, Zhao Feng, and Li Xueyi sat down.


    Zhao Feng went straight to the point.


    ¡°Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace? Xueyi, you really saw a figure seven years ago?¡± the two were stunned. The Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace was first discovered by the founder of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace and their entire sect was constructed around it, and they only now realized that an outsider had entered it.


    ¡°It was the figure of a female that fits perfectly with the person Senior Zhao was talking about. If it was just a mistake, how could it be such a coincidence?¡± Li Xueyi confirmed. She had talked to Zhao Feng before and confirmed that it was Liu Qinxin.


    ¡°No wonder the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace opened on its own back then.¡±


    The couple felt incredulous and started to communicate before coming to a decision.


    ¡°We need to find out the truth,¡± their expressions were solemn. The Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace was the core inheritance of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace, and an outsider had somehow entered without them even realizing.


    This made them unable to calm down. From a certain perspective, it could even be said that this was a hidden danger. The couple decided to find out the truth and fix any flaws, if there were any.


    The two sides decided to team up to find the truth. Zhao Feng nodded his head; the couple was understanding and didn¡¯t reject Zhao Feng.


    Their aims were the same. Zhao Feng wanted to confirm whether his fianc¨¦e was alive or dead while the couple wanted to check if there was anything wrong with their core inheritance.


    An hour later, the couple had gathered the upper echelon of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace, and the weakest elder participating in the meeting was at the peak Great Origin Core Realm. This was because they were going to enter the inheritance in an unusual way and, in theory, were going against the rules set by the founder. All nine Elders needed to vote in order to provide fairness.


    After knowing how important the issue was, all nine Elders submitted their votes. An outsider entering their inheritance without anyone knowing was something they could not tolerate.


    The upper echelon soon arrived in front of a restricted area. In front of them was an abyss covered in mist.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye could faintly see a large mysterious palace with forty-nine floors that was covered in a blurry haze. He could also see that the Ancient Sound Palace was in a circular shape, and the center should be empty.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye both twitched slightly. Although the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace was blocked by layers of arrays, Zhao Feng could still feel an ancient aura that was similar to the Ancient Dream Realm radiating from it.


    Zhao Feng instinctively felt that the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace wasn¡¯t something the Sky Sacred Qin Palace could control. The founder of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace was half a step into the Mystic Light Realm and even then was unable to find out its secrets.


    Weng~~


    The couple and the several elders waved array flags, causing the mist to fade away and reveal the shape of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. Although the mist had faded, the palace was still blurry, but the ancient aura became stronger and made everyone feel as if they were ants looking up at a giant.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The couple led several upper echelon members, as well as Zhao Feng and Li Xueyi, into the abyss. There was a total of nine people and, other than Li Xueyi, the weakest of them had reached the peak Great Origin Core Realm.


    The couple and Zhao Feng, a total of three Kings, then started to forcefully open the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. Although the sect was in control of it, opening it by force was still hard.


    In that instant, the Magnificent Powers of three Kings merged into a special silver token in front of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    Weng~~


    The silver token started to tremble before slowly flying up into the sky.


    At the same moment:


    Boom~~~~


    The silver metallic doors of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace started to open. Every bit further the token went up, the further the doors would open.


    The doors suddenly stopped when one-third was opened, since one-third could easily fit one person through.


    ¡°Go!¡± the urgent voices of the couple sounded.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng turned into a scarlet-colored streak of lightning that sped into the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. The couple then took Li Xueyi and followed after him. After them came the elders.


    Within the first floor of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, beneath them were countless steps and various drawings on the wall.


    A weird scene started to appear. The images on the wall started to jump in front of them, and they could even hear voices.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s footsteps started to slow down as he met a resisting force.

 735 Appearance

    The drawings on the walls seemed to jump and appear in a few courtyards in front. Several females in ancient clothing were dancing as the sound of a qin played alongside them, creating a peaceful and calm environment. On the two sides of the singing and dancing were several officials and a king.


    It was hard to distinguish between reality and illusion. All of the people were smiling and talking flawlessly.


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. He felt a resistive force when he tried to step forward. The images that had appeared from the walls seemed to have real powers. The sounds of singing and the officials present had the ability to change reality. Of course, this slight resistance wasn¡¯t able to stop Zhao Feng.


    However, the problem was that this was just the first floor. It was hard to imagine what type of powers the higher floors would have.


    ¡°Just the entertainment in life,¡± Li Xueyi smiled faintly and pointed out with her finger, causing all the images to fade away. The steps to the second floor appeared, and Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but be amazed. The dancing and singing that could affect reality was easily taken care of by someone that cultivated the Dao of Entertainment. If it was someone else that didn¡¯t understand the Dao of Entertainment, it would take them a very long time to pass through it.


    ¡°As this opening isn¡¯t a normal opening, there won¡¯t be any rewards at the end of each floor, nor any inheritance,¡± an elder murmured.


    When the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace opened normally, the geniuses that passed through a certain number of floors would be given respective awards. Some might¡¯ve been treasures while others might¡¯ve been techniques or comprehension. Some would even gain inheritances of various experts that cultivated the Dao of Entertainment. However, since this wasn¡¯t a normal opening, there would be none of that.


    ¡°Because there¡¯s no reward, only one person needs to pass through the stage and everyone will pass,¡± the Palace Master nodded her head. Their goal was just to find where the flaw of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace was.


    After entering the second floor, mountains covered in mist appeared from the walls, and the sound of nature came from every direction. A strong roar of a tiger came from the depths of the mountain and caused Zhao Feng¡¯s clothes to flap around. The resistance here was much stronger than the previous floor, and this was still under the fact that Zhao Feng had reached the Void God Realm; if it were any genius under the Void God Realm, their souls would be shaken.


    ¡°A measly roar of a tiger¡­!¡± Li Xueyi floated forward, and the imagery in front of them started to crumble before it had even fully formed. As long as one understood the particular aspect of the Dao of Entertainment on each floor, they could pass. All of this was used to test the challenger, but Zhao Feng felt as if the imagery in the walls weren¡¯t just simple illusions.


    Li Xueyi easily passed the first ten floors. She was extremely talented in the Dao of Entertainment, and she had reached the 32nd floor seven years ago.


    Her speed started to slow down a bit after the 15th floor.


    Passing relies on understanding and mastery of the Dao of Entertainment, not cultivation, Zhao Feng concluded, otherwise Liu Qinxin wouldn¡¯t have reached the 32nd floor or higher seven years ago.


    On the 20th floor, ancient beasts crawled out from the walls one after another, and each of their auras were able to dominate a True Lord Rank. Li Xueyi now needed to actually attack. She opened her mouth, and the sound of an angel passed through the air and crushed these beasts into dust.


    On the 28th floor of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, there was a handsome male in white sitting in front of a mountain and gently touching his qin as he listened to the sound of a waterfall. The male in white smiled as he looked toward the group.


    ¡°Void God Realm King!¡± even though the male in white had concealed his aura, Zhao Feng was extremely surprised.


    ¡°Guests from afar, why not play a song and enjoy the scenery with me?¡± the male¡¯s voice gave off a calm feeling. Normally, Li Xueyi would go up to play a song and drink with the male, winning his good-will to pass.


    The cultivation of this man has reached the Void God Realm, so the challengers normally wouldn¡¯t be able to forcefully break through, Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled.


    Li Xueyi was just about to go up when she was stopped by Zhao Feng. She and the couple revealed puzzled expressions. Zhao Feng walked over and sent out a punch toward the male in white.


    Boom!


    This punch contained Zhao Feng¡¯s Magnificent Power as well as the double domains of the Illusion Maze Domain and the Wind Lightning Domain.


    ¡°You¡­!¡± the male in white screamed as he was sent flying and coughing out blood by Zhao Feng¡¯s fist.


    Whoosh!


    The man and the rest of the illusion returned to the wall.


    ¡°This saves more time,¡± Zhao Feng clapped his hands and signaled Li Xueyi to continue walking.


    The difficulty of the stages became increasingly harder after the 30th floor. For example, there was an imprisoned legendary evil dragon on the 33rd floor, and the powerful aura of a dragon bloodline made the hearts of the group shake. Only Zhao Feng¡¯s Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline remained unaffected.


    Boom!


    The prison restricting the evil dragon started to shake, and it probably wouldn¡¯t be able to last longer than half a breath.


    ¡°It¡¯s a weak descendant of the legendary True Dragon race,¡± the child Demigod appeared and stared at the evil black dragon. Even though it was just a weak descendant, it still had battle-power comparable to a Void God Realm Emperor just by using its strong physical body.


    ¡°I was defeated on this floor last time, but I met an ancient beast seven years ago,¡± Li Xueyi said.


    This floor was extremely difficult to pass; they needed to comfort the dragon with the power of the Dao of Entertainment. Zhao Feng could see that, although the dragon was strong, it wasn¡¯t very intelligent. Despite that, comforting the dragon and making it go back into the wall was a troublesome task.


    Compared to seven years ago, Li Xueyi¡¯s current mastery of the Dao of Entertainment was easily much greater. She walked to the prison and released a calm and peaceful aura, then started to dance and sing. The evil dragon¡¯s gaze was attracted to Li Xueyi, and its chaotic emotions finally started to calm down. Four hours later, the evil dragon had fallen asleep, and the scenery returned to the wall.


    As they closed in on the 40th floor, the difficulty became ten times greater, and Li Xueyi wasn¡¯t able to conquer the floors even with her understanding and mastery of the Dao of Entertainment. Luckily, it wasn¡¯t just her that entered the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace; there was also the Palace Master and the First Elder.


    On the 40th floor, an old man with a long beard appeared on a hill and gave them three weird questions that not only tested their Dao of Entertainment but also some theory about Destiny. Even the Sky Sacred Qin Palace couple were troubled by this stage. Zhao Feng and the child Demigod both were unable to see through the old man¡¯s aura.


    At this point, the stages of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace not only regarded the Dao of Entertainment, they also regarded philosophy and Destiny. Luckily, they didn¡¯t need to rely on only one person. Li Xueyi and the couple became the main force while the little thieving cat and the child Demigod helped. The little thieving cat could divine a bit and support them, while the child Demigod had reached a high level of Intent and had experienced the God Tribulation and revival through blood, so his understanding of Life was definitely not simple. Their combined intelligence was limitless.


    They spent half a day to finally pass this floor.


    ¡°Hehe¡­. Heaven¡¯s Legacy Cat?¡± the old man with the long beard smiled as he glanced at the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat seemed to ponder as it looked toward the old man with rare complicated emotions.


    Whoosh!


    The scenery disappeared, and the old man returned to the wall.


    There was a total of 49 floors in the Ancient Sound Palace, and there were only nine left. The difficulty of the next nine was extremely high, and even some legendary scenes appeared that couldn¡¯t be broken through by pure power.


    ¡°Even someone at the Heavenly Divine Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to forcefully break through¡­.¡± the expression of the child Demigod became solemn, but luckily this wasn¡¯t a normal opening, so they could retreat and retry each floor if they couldn¡¯t pass right away. Since normal openings gave rewards, you couldn¡¯t try a floor over and over.


    44th floor¡­ 45th floor¡­ 46th floor.


    Everyone did their best and finally conquered the stages. The 47th floor took them half a month and several attempts to pass. When they re-entered the floor, the test might have changed.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart started to go cold. Even if Liu Qinxin was talented, she probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to last this long with her cultivation back then. Of course, Zhao Feng forgot that there were usually rewards, comprehensions, and even inheritances.


    ¡°48th floor!¡± the couple from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace were excited. Apparently, the founder had only reached the 40th floor, but that was his own ability. Currently, they could work as a team and keep retrying, so it wasn¡¯t really considered their own ability. Furthermore, the little thieving cat and the child Demigod complimented them.


    48th floor. The rate at which they were solving this floor was incredibly slow. Only one, two, or three people would appear. They would either sing songs, play instruments, draw, or play chess. Each of the people that appeared were true saints in the Dao of Entertainment. Their mastery of the Dao of Entertainment had reached a heaven-defying level.


    One of the females played a flute, causing the target to enter an inescapable dreamy state. Luckily, they would only send one person each time, so the rest of the group was able to rescue them.


    There was also a clash between chess players. In the scenery, two elders were playing chess and knew nothing of the outside world. An Elder from the Qin Palace was confident in his chess skills and asked to represent them, but he immediately froze when he got close to the chess board.


    ¡°Time¡­ the power of Time!!¡± the expression of the child Demigod changed dramatically. This was the domain of Gods.


    Any figure from these walls had power that could reach the heavens. The 48th floor stopped everyone, and they could only try carefully and withdraw if there was any minor error. They did this several dozen times until a female in white appeared. Her skin was as white as snow, and she seemed to be a goddess from a painting. The female was elegant and quiet. She seemed to have a pouting expression, and she had a qin next to her.


    ¡°This figure¡­¡± Li Xueyi found the figure slightly familiar.


    ¡°Qinxin! How¡­?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he stared at the goddess in white from the illusionary scenery.

 736 Chapter Name Hidden due to Spoiler

    On the 48th floor of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t think that he would meet the figure he had been chasing like this.


    Liu Qinxin¡¯s expression was the same as the one in his memories, but her aura had evolved since Flooding Lake City. She wore a white dress and seemed to be a goddess from a painting ¨C elegant and noble. She seemed to stand out from mortals.


    ¡°Feng, it¡¯s you¡­!¡± the elegant female¡¯s expression changed dramatically as she exclaimed.


    Beng!


    One of the strings on the qin in front of her snapped.


    ¡°You two¡­ know each other?¡± the child Demigod, Li Xueyi, and the couple from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace were shocked. Each of the figures of the 48th floor were legendary existences, and this female was definitely one of them too. They didn¡¯t expect her to know Zhao Feng.


    ¡°She¡¯s¡­ the person you¡¯re looking for?¡± Li Xueyi¡¯s heart shook. The female in front of them had reached an incredible level of mastery in the Dao of Entertainment, and her aura didn¡¯t seem to be something that could exist in this world. Zhao Feng had been searching for such a perfect female?


    ¡°You¡¯re Qinxin?¡± Zhao Feng asked in disbelief. How could Liu Qinxin be a figure from the walls?


    Liu Qinxin gently looked at Zhao Feng, and emotions flashed through her eyes, including bitterness and joy.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye fully opened, and his left eye and hair turned purple as a strong surge of Eye Intent appeared.


    ¡°This is his true strength!¡± the couple, Li Xueyi, and company all felt unable to breathe.


    ¡°Feng, I am Liu Qinxin, but not the Qinxin you¡¯re searching for¡­.¡± Liu Qinxin looked deeply at Zhao Feng, and two lines of tears dripped down from her eyes.


    Zhao Feng was confused. What the heck was that supposed to mean? The actions and the smile of the beauty in front of him were exactly the same as Liu Qinxin from back then.


    ¡°Qinxin, what¡¯s going on? Are you alive or not?¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath. The Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace was extremely profound ¨C even the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye wasn¡¯t able to see through it.


    ¡°Only those that have died can appear in the walls. I am Liu Qinxin, but at the same time, I¡¯m not. Precisely said, I am a part of Liu Qinxin and have her memories, abilities, and emotions before she entered the 49th floor¡­.¡± Liu Qinxin said.


    ¡°Only those that have died?¡± Zhao Feng heart went cold. Liu Qinxin¡­ died?


    The couple and the child Demigod all revealed thoughtful expressions as they had their guesses about what kind of existence Liu Qinxin was.


    ¡°This Liu Qinxin should be created by the power of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, but no one knows whether they¡¯re real or fake,¡± the child Demigod guessed.


    ¡°Only those that have died can appear in the walls. Looks like the Liu Qinxin that Zhao Feng¡¯s searching for has already died,¡± Li Xueyi couldn¡¯t help but feel sympathetic.


    Zhao Feng stood still for a long time with clenched fists and started to tremble.


    ¡°Feng, you need to stop mourning,¡± Liu Qinxin said in a trembling tone. Due to the powers of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, her memories and emotions toward Zhao Feng were completely the same as the real Liu Qinxin.


    ¡°Qinxin, how did you die?¡± Zhao Feng started to calm down and thought that there was a hidden secret.


    Liu Qinxin didn¡¯t say anything, she just gave a deep glance.


    Shua!


    Countless images appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s mind. A girl in white searched for the final Intent of the Dao of Entertainment. Liu Qinxin received different types of comprehensions and rewards after passing through the stages, but her body was losing energy as she completed each stage. Her comprehension and Intent surpassed her cultivation and state of existence by hundreds, if not thousands of times.


    On the 48th floor, Liu Qinxin¡¯s energy and lifeforce were fully expended. Facing the last floor, she used all her energy and lifeforce to enter it. The memories stopped here. At the very last instant, Liu Qinxin should have died.


    ¡°The real Liu Qinxin you are searching for has definitely died on the 49th floor, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t appear,¡± Liu Qinxin said in a bitter tone. When she mentioned ¡°the real Liu Qinxin,¡± her heart started to hurt, as if it was being cut by knives.


    Zhao Feng was silent for a long time as he digested and accepted this truth.


    A while later:


    ¡°I need to enter the 49th floor and confirm the truth,¡± Zhao Feng was full of decisiveness.


    The Liu Qinxin in front of him should be a phantom created by the powers of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, and even Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye couldn¡¯t see through it.


    ¡°However, with your strength, none of you can pass my stage,¡± Liu Qinxin said.


    No one can pass? the group looked at each other, but they weren¡¯t suspicious. One had to know that Liu Qinxin had passed through the 48th floor and entered the 49th floor. Her mastery of the Dao of Entertainment had reached the peak of an era.


    ¡°Liu Qinxin, if you know Zhao Feng and love him, can¡¯t you make it easier?¡± Li Xueyi couldn¡¯t help but say.


    ¡°These are the rules of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. I can¡¯t go against them,¡± the girl shook her head, and the hearts of the group dropped.


    Zhao Feng stood motionless, and he felt extremely uneasy as he looked in the direction of the 49th floor. If she was dead, he wanted to see her corpse. Zhao Feng felt that he was one step away from the truth.


    ¡°Feng,¡± the girl suddenly spoke, ¡°Only you can defeat me, and you¡¯re the only one that can find the method.¡±


    There¡¯s only one way? Zhao Feng became calm and started to think. Since he cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, he could split his mind into a thousand thoughts and think really fast.


    Bitterness appeared on his face when he remembered that method. The bet they made near the Flooding Lake City appeared in his mind. At that time, Liu Qinxin had unsealed her cultivation, and she was at the True Spirit Realm. Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t her match at all, but he had won.


    Thinking up to there, Zhao Feng took a step forward as a powerful surge of Eye Intent emanated from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. A dreamy power then started to fill the air.


    ¡°Qinxin, did you know that my heart was moved the first time I saw you?¡± Zhao Feng was full of emotion as he slowly walked toward ¡°Liu Qinxin.¡±


    In the dreamy purple light, the scenery turned into a place near the Flooding Lake City.


    ¡°Is this real?¡± the eyes of the girl started to go red and teary.


    ¡°Qinxin, I¡¯ve decided to take you as my wife,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s voice was filled with emotion. He not only merged the illusionary power of his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye into the scene ¨C he also added his own emotions.


    Within the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, Liu Qinxin and Zhao Feng hugged tightly.


    ¡°How¡­?¡± Zhao Feng felt that the smell and touch and warmth of her skin were extremely real, and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye saw that her body was made of true flesh and blood.


    ¡°This is far too real to be a dream,¡± Zhao Feng was stunned.


    ¡°The highest level of illusion is reality,¡± the beauty in his arms started to fade, but she still looked at Zhao Feng with deep emotions.


    Are you a real lifeform? waves splashed in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart. The highest level of illusion is reality?


    ¡°Feng, you have the ninth God¡¯s Eye. Have you heard the legend of the Ancestor Eye?¡± Liu Qinxin said.


    The legend of the Ancestor Eye? Zhao Feng didn¡¯t have any time to think about how Liu Qinxin knew he had the ninth God¡¯s Eye.


    Apparently, when the Eight Great God Eyes gathered together, the supreme Ancestor Eye would be able to restore the laws of the universe. However, the Ancestor Eye couldn¡¯t be opened because everything in the world was just a dream. If the Ancestor Eye opened, the ¡°dream¡± would shatter.


    Was the Liu Qinxin in front of him real or fake? Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t tell.


    ¡°Feng, go search for the real Liu Qinxin. After comprehending the fate of Fan Lun, her fate is still alive even though she has died,¡± Liu Qinxin gave one last deep glance toward Zhao Feng. It seemed to contain all her emotions and life essence.


    Shua!


    The image in front of them disappeared, and Zhao Feng had successfully passed the stage. However, Zhao Feng felt empty and disappointed. Although he had defeated Liu Qinxin, the method he used was the same as last time ¨C he simply took advantage of the flaws in her heart.


    ¡°We¡¯ve passed the 48th floor!¡± the couple from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace and Li Xueyi revealed joyful expressions. The next floor was the supreme level of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s gaze landed on the wall. Apart from it, no one realized that the picture in the wall glanced deeply toward Zhao Feng with a pained expression before turning into mist and disappearing.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, we¡¯ll learn the truth after entering the 49th floor,¡± Li Xueyi said. Everyone else was also looking forward to it.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head and led the way into the 49th floor.


    There were no more steps at the end of the 49th floor. There was only a large mysterious sky above them. Below the sky was a palace in the shape of a wheel. The material of the palace was exactly the same as the one they had seen from outside, but the people inside could see the mysterious sky from below. The mysterious sky contained an unblockable pressure.


    ¡°Destiny?¡± Zhao Feng felt that the wheel-like palace was slowly rotating around the sky.


    ¡°Is this the final Intent of the Dao of Entertainment?¡±


    Everyone else felt an indescribable power of Destiny in the sky.


    An area in the sky suddenly lit up.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!¡±


    Everyone¡¯s gaze turned from the sky toward a person. More precisely said, it was a female with snow-white skin. She had a white dress, and she was mysteriously connected with the sky.


    ¡°Qinxin!¡± Zhao Feng could tell from the back that it was Liu Qinxin.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng flashed next to Qinxin and saw that she had a dazzling smile on her face, but Zhao Feng¡¯s body stiffened as he stared at the unmoving figure.


    ¡°This is a corpse. There¡¯s no sign of life to it,¡± the Palace Master said.


    ¡°She¡¯s dead,¡± a weird light flashed through the child Demigod¡¯s eyes. The corpse hadn¡¯t rotted even after seven years. Instead, it had become even more perfect. Her skin was smooth and gave off a pleasant smell.


    Right as everyone was silent, the unexpected happened.

 737 Presen

    Back on the Azure Flower Continent, within a dark black tower in the mountains of the Canopy Great Country in the Northern Continent, there was a six-cornered tower that was old and mysterious. It had forty-nine floors, and it was covered by an indescribably power.


    This was a legendary place of the Dao of Life in the Azure Flower Continent ¨C the Six Warlock Tower.


    At this moment, an elder stood at the peak of the 49th floor and was looking at the sky. The elder had a black cloak over him, and his eyes seemed to be dim, but also as unfathomable as the stars and filled with age and wisdom.


    Miao!


    The cry of a cat filled the air as a large silver-black cat yawned lazily in a corner.


    ¡°Sage, you¡¯ve stood here for an entire day and night already.¡±


    Several figures stood behind the Sage. The closest people were a beautiful priest and an elder with a long white beard.


    ¡°Qinxin, you indeed haven¡¯t disappointed me or your mother. You¡¯ve successfully changed your fate. Rarely anyone has done so since the beginning of time,¡± the Sage seemed to be happy, and his eyes seemed to look through space toward the direction of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    Weng~~


    A silver light suddenly started to glow in the air above the Six Warlock Divine Tower and covered the Sage.


    Miao!


    The big lazy cat hiccupped, and it was full of expectation.


    ¡°Qinxin!? Liu Qinxin!?¡± the expressions of the female priest, white-bearded elder, and company all changed dramatically. Hadn¡¯t Liu Qinxin died in the inheritance already? The Sage had already concluded that she would meet more misfortune than fortune.


    ¡°Liu Qinxin¡­ how is this possible!?¡± a stunning noble female had appeared on the 49th floor. She was considered a peerless beauty and had a charming face. Her every smile could charm the world. She was Empress Qin, the disciple of the Sage.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t Master already conclude that Liu Qinxin died five or six years ago?¡± Empress Qin¡¯s expression kept on changing. The Sage concluded that Liu Qinxin had met more misfortune than fortune, meaning that she was dead.


    ¡°Master, didn¡¯t you say that Liu Qinxin is already dead? How would she be able to change her destiny?¡± Empress Qin asked respectfully.


    The Sage had three female disciples who trained in the Dao of Life, the Dao of Charm, and the Dao of Entertainment respectively. Empress Qin was the only one still alive even though she was of the least importance of the three. The Sage favored the disciple that cultivated the Dao of Life first and the disciple that cultivated the Dao of Entertainment second. Unfortunately, those two had both paid a heavy price in order to change Liu Qinxin¡¯s fate. Empress Qin only played a small part in it.


    ¡°The end is just a new beginning; death also means new life,¡± admiration and love appeared in the Sage¡¯s eyes.


    The expressions of the people in the tower became weird. It was extremely rare to see the Sage with such an expression.


    ¡°New life!? Could it be¡­?¡± the hearts of the priest, the white-bearded elder, and company all shook. At this moment, all of them had their own guesses.


    ¡°After comprehending Fan Lun Time, she has surpassed the limits of life, and the seed planted seven years ago will start to grow¡­.¡± the smile on the Sage¡¯s face became brighter, and a small number of daoists that cultivated the Dao of Life behind him started to think.


    ¡°Qinxin, why are you here this time?¡± the Sage turned around. He didn¡¯t say anything more about Liu Qinxin.


    ¡°Master, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion is re-awakening, and the continent is in danger. The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch is apparently in seclusion and planning to break through to the Void God Realm¡­¡± Empress Qin said.


    Over the past couple years, the forces of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had been reviving and slowly eroding the continent. Even with the help of the Sacred Alliance and the Ten Great Clans, their momentum was unstoppable.


    ¡°Sage, you can definitely save the continent,¡± the people behind him said, and expectation appeared in Empress Qin¡¯s eyes.


    The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had also started to erode the Canopy Great Country, and the Iron Blood Religion used this chance to gather the forces of the great country and fight the Demonic Religion together.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry. The Azure Flower Continent is a place of fortune,¡± the Sage smiled and returned to seclusion.


    Empress Qin sighed, and unwillingness appeared on her face.


    Miao!


    The big lazy cat glanced toward her with playfulness and disappeared.


    Back in the Gan Sacred Island Zone, on an island only one-fifth the size of the Eight Desolate Mountain, a metallic ship of Death floated on a lake, and it was covered by a dark purple light. Two Death Guards were guarding the front and back of the ship.


    ¡°Gan Sacred Island Zone¡­ forces cultivating the Dao of Entertainment. I didn¡¯t think it¡¯d be here¡­.¡± the figure of a Death God appeared at the head of the ship. Next to him was a little girl with white eyes.


    The girl with white eyes had been growing extremely quickly. There was a profound power coming from her eyes.


    ¡°Master, the sect with the word ¡®Qin¡¯ in it is where the target is hiding,¡± the white-eyed little girl said. She was now taller and had an unusual aura.


    ¡°A sect with the word ¡®Qin¡¯ in it. Hehe, that reminds me of an old and powerful sect that cultivates the Dao of Entertainment,¡± the smile on the Emperor of Death¡¯s face became even colder.


    Sky Sacred Qin Palace. This made him remember some deep memories hidden in his mind. The Emperor of Death started to remember what had happened.


    The life of any Emperor would be enough to write a novel, including the Emperor of Death. His growth wasn¡¯t smooth; it was full of thorns and waves. Not many people knew that he had stolen two bodies and cultivated again to reach his current height.


    The first time he had just become a Peak-tier King and was about to become an Emperor, several Emperors ambushed him. The Emperor of Death had offended too many people, and having the Eye of Death meant that he had strong potential. The Emperors teamed up and killed the Emperor of Death, but his soul managed to escape and steal another body.


    The second time was even less lucky. A Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord killed him right after he became an Emperor. That time was even riskier, and his soul was almost completely destroyed.


    ¡°The second time I died, I was killed by the Sacred Lord in the Floating Dream Sacred Land, and the sects cultivating the Dao of Entertainment seemed to have helped back then,¡± the Emperor of Death remembered this long-forgotten memory. He had finally managed to reach his current position after re-cultivating twice, and with his terrifying techniques of Death, even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords didn¡¯t want to offend him easily.


    ¡°Sky Sacred Qin Palace¡­ let¡¯s finish it off together,¡± cold killing intent appeared in the Emperor of Death¡¯s eyes. As soon as he finished saying it, the Emperor of Death had disappeared from the ship.


    ¡°Why¡­? The future is being blocked by a mysterious power,¡± the white-eyed little girl bit her bottom lip as she held a brush and finally managed to barely draw a painting. Her artistic skills had improved, and one could see the Emperor of Death facing a purple-haired youth in the picture.


    ¡°They¡¯re finally going to meet?¡± the two Death Guards looked at the painting.


    At the same moment, within the 49th floor of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, the expressions of the group changed dramatically. The flawless body surrounded in light radiated a mysterious aura that seemed able to cleanse the soul. The body started to slowly fade away.


    ¡°Qinxin!¡± Zhao Feng roared. The smiling Liu Qinxin in front of him started to slowly fade away under the light.


    Everyone was watching with gaping mouths, but they were unable to do anything.


    ¡°Feng, with your arrival, I will be able to die with no regrets,¡± a soft voice sounded on the 49th floor, and a phantom appeared from the corpse, forming a female in white.


    Ding!


    A tattered, old bronze coin appeared under the disappearing body.


    ¡°Qinxin¡­ are you dead or alive? Do you still live?¡± Zhao Feng stared at the phantom of Liu Qinxin. This Liu Qinxin was completely formed out of Intent ¨C Zhao Feng could see this clearly.


    ¡°Feng, I died in order to achieve a new life. As you were able to reach this place, that means that our connection hasn¡¯t been cut yet,¡± Liu Qinxin revealed a satisfied smile in the light.


    Weng~~


    Her body started to become unstable and dim. Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed; this was just an Intent left behind by Liu Qinxin and formed by the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace¡¯s power.


    ¡°There¡¯s not much time left,¡± Liu Qinxin¡¯s expression became serious. ¡°Feng, this coin will help you resolve an upcoming danger.¡±


    Whoosh!


    Liu Qinxin then turned into a streak of light that merged into the bronze coin, and the coin glittered with a mysterious starlight as it landed in Zhao Feng¡¯s palm.


    ¡°Feng, this is my present for you¡­. Let¡¯s meet again in the afterlife,¡± a soft voice faded into the air, and Liu Qinxin¡¯s aura completely disappeared from the 49th floor.


    Zhao Feng gazed at the bronze coin.


    ¡°An upcoming danger? Could Liu Qinxin have foreseen something?¡±


    Zhao Feng merged his consciousness into the coin, and his mind entered a world of stars. In this world, the stars, sun, and moon spun in a mystic way and created an immeasurable power. In the next instant, different types of comprehensions and Intents flowed into his mind.


    ¡°This is¡­?¡±


    The sound of a qin seemed to sound next to his ears. The bronze coin contained a weird power of the Dao of Entertainment, and it merged into his soul.


    Zhao Feng felt as if his soul had been momentarily raised and purified. The effect was more than ten times stronger than the Illusion God Wine.

 738 Pursuit of Death 1

    The power of the Dao of Entertainment contained within the coin not only strengthened one¡¯s Intent, it also helped the soul dramatically. It could be said that it contained the effects of both the Mermaid Tears and the Illusion God Wine.


    The stars in the world spun in a profound way and seemed to contain universal laws. The sound of the qin next to his ears seemed to pass through time and make one enter a profound state.


    In just a short few breaths, Zhao Feng felt as if he had become a saint. His soul became pure and excreted all the impurities. One had to know that Zhao Feng¡¯s soul was already almost as strong as an Emperor¡¯s, and now it had been further cleansed.


    Of course, this strengthening of his soul was most interesting to Zhao Feng. In that short instant, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul seemed to become complete. Every Intent and law seemed to be close to him.


    ¡°This is the complete state that only a Void God Realm Emperor can reach¡­.¡± Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. Like the Illusion God Wine, this effect was only temporary.


    The Illusion God Wine was extremely useful to those below a King, but after one reached the level of a King, advancing the soul was much harder. Therefore, even though the effect of this coin was more than ten times stronger than the Illusion God Wine, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t instantly break through.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s consciousness returned to reality, and the feeling started to fade. Everything became as calm as water, but the coin in his hand had dimmed a lot.


    ¡°Master?¡± the child Demigod was full of surprise and curiosity. In that moment just now, Zhao Feng¡¯s aura changed slightly.


    ¡°Two Seniors, my goal here has been completed¡­.¡± Zhao Feng expressed his gratitude to the couple from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace. He had almost fully confirmed whether Liu Qinxin was alive or dead.


    The couple from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace were still full of shock. They didn¡¯t understand what had happened to the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    ¡°Brother Zhao, do you know how that Liu Qinxin entered this place?¡± the couple asked.


    ¡°The Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace comes from the Ancient Era of the Fan Universe and contains the laws of Heaven and Earth, including the Dao of Life, Entertainment, Samsara, and more. It¡¯s not something a single force alone can control,¡± Zhao Feng said.


    The memories Liu Qinxin gave him appeared in his mind. Firstly, the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace wasn¡¯t completely controlled by the Sky Sacred Qin Palace. Even the founder couldn¡¯t do so. Apart from that, it concerned the laws of Karma and Life, as well as another source of power ¨C the Sage.


    So¡­ the Sage already told me whether Liu Qinxin died or not back in the Azure Flower Continent, many puzzles in Zhao Feng¡¯s heart were solved. The Sage had said ¡°more misfortune than fortune¡± but didn¡¯t specify what that actually meant.


    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Qinxin, I wouldn¡¯t have entered the outside world so quickly, and I definitely would¡¯ve missed the Demigod Forgotten Garden. That means my destiny would¡¯ve been completely different.¡±


    Zhao Feng felt that destiny was extremely complex and meaningful.


    Back then, becoming Lord Guanjun¡¯s disciple was a major turning point for him. If it weren¡¯t for that, he wouldn¡¯t have entered the true world of cultivation so quickly. It might¡¯ve been a dozen years before he even reached the Ascended Realm.


    Later, if Zhao Feng listened to Patriarch Hong¡¯s suggestion and entered the Sacred Alliance and that two-star sect, his current cultivation would be at the peak Small Origin Core Realm at most.


    It was the same thing with the skeletal Division Leader. Only by following Zhao Feng did it have its current achievements. One had to know that the skeletal Division Leader¡¯s strength was now comparable to the Scarlet Moon Religion Patriarch¡¯s, and with the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, it was even stronger.


    The group of people started to walk back down from the 49th floor. There was still puzzlement in the couple¡¯s eyes, but they knew that they couldn¡¯t fully control the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    ¡°Senior Zhao, it seems Lady Liu didn¡¯t die very simply since she was able to reach the 49th floor,¡± Li Xueyi couldn¡¯t help but be curious.


    This was just too suspicious. Firstly, it wouldn¡¯t have been a bad choice if Liu Qinxin stopped at the 48th floor or even earlier. Secondly, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t seem to be very sad; on the contrary, he was extremely calm.


    ¡°Qinxin has successfully changed her destiny, dying in peace and satisfaction. She had been planning for this her entire life,¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    After all, Liu Qinxin dying was what she wanted. For Zhao Feng to reach here made her die with no regrets. She even prepared a present for him if he came.


    There are still some details I need to ask the Sage about, Zhao Feng thought.


    Seven years had passed, and Zhao Feng was suspicious about whether Liu Qinxin had already been ¡°born¡± for six or seven years.


    After leaving the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, Zhao Feng and company teamed up to re-seal it. Later that day, the couple persuaded Zhao Feng to stay behind and be the Sky Sacred Qin Palace¡¯s guest.


    The couple didn¡¯t know that, because of this action, the Sky Sacred Qin Palace evaded a disaster.


    Since Zhao Feng wanted to comprehend the bronze coin, he agreed.


    Within an elegant building, Zhao Feng sat down and got himself together before starting to comprehend the bronze coin. His consciousness entered the large mysterious world where music flowed into his ears. It was as if he had entered a dream.


    After entering this state, Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and Intent once again rose. Since he was in a calm surrounding, Zhao Feng could focus on comprehension, and to make it even more efficient, he opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye and tried to copy the Intent into his mind.


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t use the bronze coin at all times. He would only stay there for ten breaths before using several hours to stabilize and steady his Intent. After all, the amount of power contained within the bronze coin was limited, and he wanted to maximize it.


    Furthermore, this coin was left behind by Liu Qinxin. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t want to use all of its powers. He wanted to keep it.


    As time passed, a profound force started to appear and fade around the building where Zhao Feng was located. The Intent contained within it even slightly surpassed the level of a King.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the change in size of the purple-colored soul sea wasn¡¯t big, but it had a pure feeling to it. This only happened when one¡¯s soul reached the level of an Emperor.


    Zhao Feng felt as if his mental energy was a growing plant, and the power of his Intent was becoming stronger.


    In comparison, the light from the bronze coin was slowly fading.


    ¡°I almost formed Emperor Intent¡­!¡± Zhao Feng was excited and expectant.


    After training with the God Tribulation Lightning, the Ancient Dream Realm, and other factors, his soul was around the level of an Emperor¡¯s, and he had fulfilled the requirements to form Emperor Intent. As long as his Intent rose by half a level, everything would be complete.


    In the blink of an eye, a day or two passed, and the power of Heaven and Earth above Zhao Feng started to form lightning and wind. No matter what Zhao Feng did, he couldn¡¯t stop the interaction between Heaven and Human. His Intent kept on comprehending Heaven and Earth as it tried to control a more profound power.


    ¡°It¡¯s about time¡­.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy was like a pearl that became more and more pure, until it released a brilliant radiance. At this moment in time, he felt as if he was the center of Wind, Lightning, and Fire. The elements seemed to bow down to him.


    If he was willing, Zhao Feng could limit the entire space within a certain area with just a thought, not just the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. Normal Emperors had reached an incredible understanding of space and Heaven and Earth, hence they were able to materialize their domains and form their own Little World. However, Little Worlds were created in the True Yuan dimension.


    At a certain point in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye twitched, as if warning him. A shocking Intent of Death passed through the air and shot straight toward the location of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace.


    An hour later, the Magnificent Power of Death started to close in on the Sky Sacred Qin Palace.


    ¡°It¡¯s an Emperor¡¯s Intent, and a rare Intent of Death at that!¡± the hearts of the couple from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace sped up. ¡°Be on guard!¡±


    The Sky Sacred Qin Palace quickly opened the protective array.


    ¡°He¡¯s finally here?¡± the child Demigod stood in front of the building and looked toward a certain direction.


    This Emperor Intent was extremely strong, and it might not be weaker than some Mystic Light Realms in terms of pure power. The Mystic Light Realm was a dramatic change in True Yuan as well as becoming one with the soul.


    As the Magnificent Power of Death got closer, everything within a thousand miles trembled out of fear. From ants to Sovereigns and Kings, all of them became uneasy due to the fear of Death. Even the child Demigod felt uneasy.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, why did you come to the Sky Sacred Qin Palace?¡±


    The two Magnificent Powers of the couple from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace covered the mountain. The two respectively held a qin and a sword as they stood side by side. Their domains complimented each other¡¯s.


    Since they were a couple that dual-cultivated, they were the strongest combination inside the island zone. With the combined strength of their qin and sword, they had once defeated a Peak-tier King.


    However, at this moment in time, facing the power of Death that seemed able to engulf anything in its path, the expressions of the two went white like candles about to blow out in front of a storm.


    Heaven and Earth seemed to fall into darkness as a majestic figure wearing a dark golden crown closed in like the God of Death.


    ¡°Emperor of Death!¡±


    The entire Sky Sacred Qin Palace was dead-silent, and the couple knew the Emperor of Death extremely well. The previous Sect Master had participated in pursuing the Emperor of Death, even though he didn¡¯t do much.


    Now that the Emperor of Death was here, the Sky Sacred Qin Palace wouldn¡¯t be able to escape no matter what.

 739 Pursuit of Death 2

    The couple from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace combined their qin and sword and acted as if they were facing a great foe, but just the coldness of Death made their limbs freeze. Before the battle even started, they felt as if they couldn¡¯t control their life.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you¡¯re indeed at the Sky Sacred Qin Palace,¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s voice seemed to come from every direction, and Heaven and Earth turned dark.


    Boom!


    A surge of Magnificent Power of Death covered the skies and clashed with the qin and sword of the couple. The air above the Qin Palace started to shake, and the protective array trembled and started to rapidly dim.


    ¡°Block it!¡±


    ¡°Not good, if the array breaks, the Qin Palace will turn into ruins.¡±


    At this critical point in time, almost ten thousand members of the Qin Palace reinforced the array. There was dozens of Sovereigns and several hundred at the True Spirit Realm. The elites of the entire sect poured their strength into the array. Since they had a lot of people and the array was so profound, it could merge in more True Force and True Yuan.


    Weng~~~


    The protective array didn¡¯t break, but on the other side, the combined attack of the qin and sword was instantly shattered by the Emperor of Death. The two figures shook and almost spat out blood, and this was under the fact that the couple was proficient at teamwork and could share the damage.


    On top of that, the Emperor of Death didn¡¯t even look directly at them. Just a casual radiation of his power suppressed the two. His Divine Sense was scanning through the Sky Sacred Qin Palace as if searching for something. He soon locked on to Zhao Feng¡¯s location.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± the Emperor of Death revealed a weird expression. This Zhao Feng seemed to be trying to form the Intent of an Emperor, and his heart shook ¨C how could he be so fast?


    The birth of any Emperor required great fortune, luck, and effort. They had to undergo many stages in life. Even though Zhao Feng was just trying to form Emperor Intent and not actually trying to break through to an Emperor, successfully forming Emperor Intent would mean that there would be no bottleneck in cultivation.


    ¡°Hehe, Zhao Feng, even if you form Emperor Intent, you won¡¯t be my match. However, I won¡¯t let you succeed,¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s laugh seemed to create a cold wind of Death, and as soon as he finished speaking, an Intent of Death charged toward Zhao Feng¡¯s location.


    This Emperor Intent contained the laws of Death and could destroy the soul of normal Kings or, at the very least, severely injure them.


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡± the couple combined their King Intent and blocked in front of the building. The combined Intent of two Domain-level Kings actually slightly surpassed a Peak-tier King¡¯s, and their combined Intent specialized in defense as well.


    ¡°Interesting,¡± the child Demigod stepped out, and his Demigod Intent shot into the air and struck the Emperor of Death¡¯s Intent.


    Bam~~~~!


    The three Intents clashed together with the Intent of Death and created a tsunami in the soul-dimension. Although Intent was formed from mental energy, it contained the understanding and comprehension of their owners and could destroy things in reality.


    Wah!


    The child Demigod¡¯s body shook as blood dripped from his mouth. He had actively attacked; therefore, the damage he received was also higher.


    The faces of the couple went red and white. It was obvious that they were injured, and this was still under the fact that the two shared the damage and most of the pressure had been borne by the child Demigod.


    ¡°Such overwhelming Intent¡­ which revived Sacred Lord are you?¡± the Emperor of Death stared at the child Demigod. In the clash just now, the child Demigod used a profound method to dissolve his Intent of Death. Even more incredibly, the child Demigod had used his Sacred Body to take part of the damage.


    ¡°We need to stall the Emperor of Death.¡±


    ¡°We only have hope if Zhao Feng successfully forms Emperor Intent.¡±


    The couple looked at each other and took a deep breath. There was no point in blaming Zhao Feng anymore. In addition, the strength of the child Demigod surpassed their imaginations. His power even made them suspicious of whether this revived Sacred Lord had the ability to deal with the Emperor of Death himself.


    ¡°Sacred Lord? Hmph! When I was roaming the heavens, you weren¡¯t even born yet,¡± the child Demigod said proudly as he wiped the blood from his mouth, but the Emperor of Death¡¯s strength also made him wary. If they didn¡¯t team up, he wouldn¡¯t be able to survive either. The child Demigod had to admit that even he wouldn¡¯t have much of a chance of victory against the Emperor of Death before breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, you can¡¯t stop me from forming Emperor Intent,¡± a composed and calm voice sounded from within a building that was surrounded by a powerful Intent.


    Zhao Feng!


    The couple revealed an overjoyed expression. Zhao Feng¡¯s voice contained a calming effect.


    ¡°Ridiculous! I haven¡¯t even used my true means yet,¡± the Emperor of Death snickered coldly.


    Although he said that, the Emperor of Death already felt slightly pressured. He wasn¡¯t scared, but if Zhao Feng was able to successfully form Emperor Intent, then killing him would become more difficult.


    ¡°Go!¡± Zhao Feng roared as he sent an Intent charging toward the Emperor of Death. Lightning seemed to rage in the soul-dimension.


    ¡°This aura¡­!¡± the Emperor of Death felt a tiny wisp of an uneasy aura. Zhao Feng¡¯s Intent was an offensive-type Intent, and it was close to an Emperor¡¯s. He had almost completely merged the power of the God Tribulation Lightning into it.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± the Emperor of Death laughed coldly as his Intent of Death turned into a black dragon that charged toward Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    The child Demigod and the couple were instantly pushed back.


    ¡°His Emperor Intent even contains terrifying techniques of Death. The Emperor of Death¡¯s mastery of the soul has reached an incredible level¡­.¡± the child Demigod¡¯s mind hurt.


    Only Zhao Feng¡¯s Intent, which contained the power of the God Tribulation Lightning, was able to clash head-on with the Emperor of Death¡¯s.


    Siii~~


    Black smoke started to appear as the two Intents clashed, and Zhao Feng groaned as his Intent was shattered.


    ¡°Scythe of Death!¡±


    The air around the Emperor of Death started to tremble as a black scythe started to form in his hand. It seemed to have the power to split Heaven and Earth.


    This time, he didn¡¯t use his Emperor Intent and instead chose to use battle techniques. It wasn¡¯t that the Emperor of Death had no chance of winning, he simply realized that, by using his Emperor Intent, Zhao Feng¡¯s Intent seemed to become stronger.


    ¡°He realized¡­.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became grim. Back in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, he used the Mermaid King to help form his King Intent.


    Crack!


    The protective array of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace started to shake, and the terrifying power of the Scythe of Death flashed through the air.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The couple was forced to retreat, and their spatial domains were being eroded by the aura of the Scythe of Death.


    Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms!


    The child Demigod attacked and sent brilliant golden palms into the sky that limited the Emperor of Death. However, even then, the couple was injured, and this was still under the fact that the Emperor of Death was focusing on Zhao Feng.


    The Emperor of Death needed to stop Zhao Feng, but the child Demigod¡¯s Heaven Sealing Palm limited his attacks.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡± some experts within the array were touched by the power of Death and turned into a puddle of black water.


    The Emperor of Death quickly slashed his Scythe of Death around and created attacks that covered a hundred miles. The child Demigod, the couple, Zhao Feng, and the entire Sky Sacred Qin Palace were covered in the attacks. It could be said that he was suppressing an entire two-star sect single-handedly, including Zhao Feng and the child Demigod.


    It seemed that the couple and the child Demigod weren¡¯t able to last any longer, and everything within several thousand miles was surrounded by the aura of Death as if it was a living hell. There were disciples dying every second.


    ¡°I can¡¯t let the Sky Sacred Qin Palace face this disaster,¡± Zhao Feng slowly got up as his eye and hair turned purple. A ball of Purple Illusion God Lightning seemed to appear in his eye as he locked on to the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Void Space Eye Slash!¡±


    A weird disturbance covered the area where the Emperor of Death stood. Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye had completely locked on to the Emperor of Death.


    Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms!


    The child Demigod also helped and restricted the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Petty tricks!¡± the Emperor of Death stood still and let a scarlet-colored blade pierce through his body.


    Shu~~


    The Emperor of Death remained unmoving. He was like a statue.


    ¡°That¡¯s the Immortal Death Body. His body is a living corpse. In theory, nothing can harm him, even if you hit an organ,¡± the child Demigod took in a cold breath.


    The Immortal Death Body was an undying technique, and although it didn¡¯t necessarily give great physical strength, it granted strong survival abilities. Simply said, one could see the Emperor of Death as an powerful, undying ghost-corpse.


    ¡°The Void Space Eye Slash has been countered,¡± Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t surprised. He knew a lot of information about the Emperor of Death from Duanmu Qing.


    Usually, when it was too hard to destroy the physical body, one could set their sight on the soul. However, the problem was that the Emperor of Death¡¯s mastery of the soul was amongst the best in the Cang Ocean. This was the specialty of his Eye of Death, and this was also why he could be at the peak amongst Emperors.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. I¡¯ll kill you guys first,¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s long laugh resounded coldly across the sky.


    He had successfully blocked Zhao Feng¡¯s Emperor Intent from forming and was now focusing on the couple and the child Demigod. He would kill these flies first, then take care of Zhao Feng and start his eye-stealing plan.


    He spun the Scythe of Death toward the couple.


    Crack!


    The scythe destroyed everything in its path and ripped apart the defensive barriers of the two. The husband and wife screamed as the Scythe of Death descended upon them ¨C one of the two would definitely die.

 740 Pursuit of Death 3

    ¡°Not good!¡± the couple yelled as the Scythe of Death slashed through their spatial domains and defensive barriers. The two were pushed back several hundred yards, and they both spat out mouthfuls of blood as their faces went white.


    This was still under the fact that the child Demigod had used his Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms and weakened the attack by 30%. If it weren¡¯t for this, both of them would have died already.


    Shua!


    As the cold scythe hit the shattered the defensive barrier, the expressions of the couple were full of despair. At least one of them would die.


    ¡°Die Lian, let¡¯s meet again in the afterlife!¡± the scholarly male roared and used his body to block the scythe. With his King-level body, he might be able to save the Palace Master by blocking this blow. As he did this, he had already closed his eyes.


    ¡°Brother Xin~~~!¡± the Palace Master yelled in agony, but she couldn¡¯t do anything. At this moment, the child Demigod and Zhao Feng were still quite a distance away.


    He was dead for sure. Mockery appeared on the Emperor of Death¡¯s face, but the next instant, the unexpected happened.


    ¡°Spatial Movement!¡±


    A whirlpool appeared in front of the male.


    Shu~~


    The portion of the scythe¡¯s blade that was about to hit the scholarly male suddenly disappeared. It was as if the middle of the weapon suddenly disappeared, and the scythe split into pieces as it scraped by the scholarly male¡¯s head and feet.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t die¡­?¡± the scholarly male paused. He was drenched in cold sweat as he almost entered the doors of death.


    ¡°Spatial Movement? This kind of usage of Space¡­.¡± the Emperor of Death paused, and his expression changed dramatically as he suddenly sensed something.


    Shua!


    The disappeared part of the scythe passed through the Emperor of Death¡¯s head and caused blood to leak.


    ¡°Utterly ridiculous,¡± the Emperor of Death murmured. Although the scythe couldn¡¯t really damage his Immortal Death Body, it was humiliating to be attacked by his own techniques. This was something that hadn¡¯t happened in the past thousand years.


    ¡°Frost of Death!¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s expression became grim.


    As he took the hit head-on, he also sent out a dark beam of cold light that froze everything in its way, including space.


    ¡°Watch out!¡± the couple had just escaped the dangers of death, and now they felt a critically cold Intent of Death heading toward them.


    Whoosh!


    The scholarly male charged toward the front, and a cold beam of Death instantly froze his body. A black-colored ice started to spread across his body.


    Sii~~~


    Not only was the scholarly male sealed in ice and unable to move, the power of Death was also quickly eroding his lifeforce.


    ¡°Brother Xin!¡± the Palace Master managed to dissolve the remains of the attack as a white flame appeared on her hand and was placed on the scholarly male¡¯s back, trying to dissolve the coldness.


    A playful smile appeared on the Emperor of Death¡¯s face, and Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically when his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye scanned over the scholarly male.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    ¡°Arghhh!¡± the scholarly male screamed as the Frost of Death within his body started to boil and cover his body. It was like poison that just entered the body. Although it might feel cold to be frozen, if one tried to dissolve the frost, the poison would spread. The Emperor of Death¡¯s Frost of Death contained a potent poison, and in the blink of an eye, the scholarly male¡¯s body rotted and turned into a puddle of black blood.


    ¡°Brother Xin, I killed you~~~!¡± the Palace Master was extremely sad and bled from the heart.


    The hearts of Zhao Feng and the child Demigod both dropped. The Frost of Death could freeze the target, and if one used flames to dissolve it, it would instead ignite the strength within. However, if they didn¡¯t dissolve it, the power of Death would erode the target¡¯s lifeforce. In reality, the scholarly male would¡¯ve died anyway; it was just a matter of time.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be sad. I¡¯ll send you to see him,¡± the Emperor of Death smiled and sent a second cold beam of Death toward the Palace Master.


    ¡°Master~~~~!¡± Li Xueyi within the protective array screamed. If nothing unexpected happened, the Palace Master would die. She couldn¡¯t block the attacks of the Emperor of Death even when the child Demigod weakened them.


    In this critical moment:


    Lightning Wings Flying Technique!


    A flash of scarlet-colored Wind Lightning blocked in front of the Palace Master.


    ¡°You¡­!¡± the Palace Master revealed shock and unwillingness. She felt a purple-haired youth use his body to block the blow, just like her husband did. This youth was obviously Zhao Feng.


    An extremely cold power radiated from Zhao Feng as his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline was released. The Palace Master felt great pressure just by standing near him.


    Weng~~


    A delicate and perfect layer of ice-blue scales appeared around Zhao Feng¡¯s body, and the coldness from the Frost of Death immediately started to disappear.


    Peng!


    The remaining power landed on Zhao Feng, but it had been weakened by 40-50%, so it obviously wasn¡¯t able to threaten him, who had the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline.


    ¡°Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline¡­.¡± the Emperor of Death murmured as his eyes twinkled.


    The top hundred and even the top thousand of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines were legendary bloodlines in the Fan Universe. Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline was ranked 89th. His defensive Ice bloodline perfectly countered the Emperor of Death¡¯s Frost of Death and other Ice-related techniques.


    ¡°Palace Master, you go and protect the sect. I will distract the Emperor of Death,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s voice sounded in the Palace Master¡¯s mind, and he felt guilty. He was the one that had brought the Emperor of Death here. It could be said that he was responsible for the death of the Palace Master¡¯s husband.


    As soon as he finished speaking, a source of Magnificent Power comparable to the level of an Emperor sent the Palace Master into the protective array.


    ¡°You need to be careful!¡± the Palace Master knew that she would probably just drag Zhao Feng down.


    ¡°Looks like it¡¯ll be very hard to stop Zhao Feng from forming Imperial Intent¡­.¡± the Emperor of Death murmured, and he didn¡¯t immediately attack. His main focus was Zhao Feng ¨C the Palace Master was just a slightly big ant in his eyes.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye sparkled with a scarlet-gold.


    Whoosh!


    A half-transparent scarlet-colored Lightning flame thundered into the Emperor of Death and raged throughout the mental and physical dimensions.


    Even the Emperor of Death¡¯s heart jumped, and he felt uneasy. Looking closely at it, there was a faint golden color on the surface ¨C it was actually the higher-ranked Scarlet-Gold Destruction Eye Flame. This eye-bloodline flame contained the essence of Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet Destruction, which was comparable to the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s Golden Destruction Wind Lightning after it had merged with the power of the God Tribulation Lightning.


    Now that Zhao Feng¡¯s soul contained more than a dozen times the God Tribulation Lightning than when he was at the Pirate Sacred Land, the power of his soul was obviously much greater. With Zhao Feng¡¯s Emperor-level soul-strength using this technique, it was enough to make the expressions of normal Emperors change.


    Boom~~~~!


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s body faintly shook. It was as if lightning had struck him, and the God Tribulation Lightning and its undying Intent harmed even his Immortal Death Body to a certain degree. Even his Eye of Death was slightly injured. If it were a normal Emperor instead, they would be at a great disadvantage at this point.


    ¡°Scarlet-colored Wind Lightning, and it contains the power of God Tribulation Lightning on top of that aura of Destruction. Could it be¡­!?¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s heart shook.


    The Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame was indeed worthy of being Zhao Feng¡¯s most powerful eye-bloodline technique. Merging the God Tribulation Lightning into it was like adding wings to a tiger.


    ¡°Attack together!¡± the wings behind Zhao Feng seemed to burn and glitter with a faint golden color as he charged toward the Emperor of Death. The child Demigod also seemed to become a golden bomb ¨C his Sacred Body seemed to materialize and form a bright golden fist that contained a dominating and supreme Intent.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Exploding Fist!¡±


    The attacks of Zhao Feng and the child Demigod reached at the same time, and the former was the main offensive force. The Scarlet Destruction Exploding Fist released the power of Destruction and the chaos of Fire and Lightning to the maximum. On top of that, his three domains were fused into this attack. The Illusion Maze Domain, the Mystic Ice Domain, and the Wind Lightning Domain all gathered into this punch.


    On the other hand, the child Demigod used his Fist Intent and his Sacred Body¡¯s strength to suppress the Emperor of Death¡¯s physical body and Intent. In reality, his existence had always been limiting the Emperor of Death¡¯s strength, making him unable to attack Zhao Feng head-on.


    Three spatial domains? What¡­!? And the Golden Kun Sacred Body! What is the relationship between this kid and the Demigod Kun Yun? the Emperor of Death was stunned.


    Boom~~~~!


    The combined attacks of Zhao Feng and the child Demigod both landed on the Emperor of Death. The Emperor of Death¡¯s body became heavy, but he didn¡¯t panic even though the combined force of Zhao Feng and the child Demigod were able to threaten many Void God Realm Emperors.


    ¡°Death Forcefield!¡± the air around the Emperor of Death became shrouded in darkness and started to twist and turn, destroying everything within, including Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Bam!


    The forcefield absorbed the powerful attack and transformed into a powerful recoiling force.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± Zhao Feng and the child Demigod both felt a sense of danger. This Death Forcefield could absorb attacks and reflect a certain amount back at the attacker.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed dramatically as his heartrate sped up, and he circulated his mental energy to the maximum while his Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning quickly fluttered.


    Shua!


    A strong surge of Intent pushed Zhao Feng and the child Demigod to escape faster, and they dodged most of the counterattack from the Death Forcefield.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart thudded. The moment just now was far too dangerous.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± he suddenly felt that something was wrong. His Intent felt pure and whole. The various Intents in the space around him seemed to flow around him.


    Boom!


    A surge of Emperor Intent formed in the sky and caused lightning and thunder to boom.


    ¡°Emperor Intent!¡±

 741 Pursuit of Death 4

    ¡°Emperor Intent!¡±


    Zhao Feng stood motionless as his hair blew in a weird rhythm. The clouds above him summoned lightning that descended onto the earth, and his purple Soul Sea became pure and whole. His mental energy seemed to merge with Heaven and Earth, and its laws became far clearer.


    This was the peak Void God Realm level of a soul, where the soul reached completion. If the soul of a normal King was a rock, then the soul of an Emperor was a crystal. Although the quantity of the soul didn¡¯t have much difference, there was a large difference in quality.


    At this moment in time, the appearance of a new Emperor Intent caused the majority of the dark clouds above the Sky Sacred Qin Palace to fade away.


    ¡°Emperor Intent¡­!¡± the Palace Master, Li Xueyi, and company gazed at Zhao Feng with joyful and respectful eyes.


    This meant that Zhao Feng would have no bottleneck in becoming an Emperor. Within a maximum of ten years, Zhao Feng would become a new Emperor of the Cang Ocean.


    One had to know that the Cang Ocean hadn¡¯t had a new Emperor in the last several hundred years. The birth of an Emperor could greatly change the situation anywhere.


    ¡°As I thought, I couldn¡¯t stop him¡­.¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s calm face finally showed some solemnness.


    ¡°Emperor of Death¡­ who knows who shall die at whose hands!?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes were filled with confidence and battle-intent.


    As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out with one hand and covered the sky with a flaming mist that glittered with gold.


    Hu~~


    A burning claw of Wind Lightning seemed to cover the sky as it smashed toward the Emperor of Death.


    The Emperor of Death snickered coldly as the Death Forcefield around him started to twist and turn, sending a wave of Death forward that turned everything in its path into dust.


    Bam! Boom~~~~


    The nearby mountains seemed to evaporate into thin air.


    Peng!


    The burning Wind Lightning Claw started to weaken as it met the wave of Death. It only had 40% of its strength remaining by the time it got close to the Emperor of Death.


    The Emperor of Death unleashed his Intent, and a sticky dark dimension of Death appeared.


    Crack!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Imperial Power was instantly engulfed.


    ¡°This is the Domain of Death, and it can even be called a small Little World!¡± the child Demigod exclaimed.


    Zhao Feng also felt the unparalleled force of a Little World. It was many times stronger than normal spatial domains.


    ¡°Scarlet Destruction Exploding Fist!¡±


    Zhao Feng was now on an entirely new level, and his three domains clashed head-on with the Emperor of Death¡¯s Little World.


    Having Emperor Intent allowed Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning to become much stronger, and it also allowed his three spatial dimensions to become more corporeal. The three domains representing his soul, bloodline, and technique all gathered together into the golden punch and released amidst a storm of ice and illusions.


    Ta!


    The child Demigod radiated a golden light and seemed to become a buddha as he used his Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms to suppress the Emperor of Death.


    The combined forces of the two reached an entirely new level that could even push back normal Emperors.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    The Emperor of Death pointed with his finger, and a whirlpool started to form from the power of his Little World of Death. It was like an abyss that was able to engulf any and every power. The attacks of the child Demigod and Zhao Feng behaved as if they were stones sinking into the ocean.


    With a weird Shuuu~~~! sound, the Emperor of Death¡¯s simple pointing with his finger caused the space to tremble slightly as the power of his Little World of Death thundered toward Zhao Feng and the child Demigod. Zhao Feng and the child Demigod were suppressed by the force, and a coldness started to spread across their bodies.


    ¡°Not good!¡±


    The two hiccupped coldly as they felt a terrifying suction force coming from the Little World of Death. All lifeforce and essences were being engulfed and devoured. Zhao Feng and the child Demigod both felt as if they were losing their life.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡± many members of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace inside the protective array turned into piles of white bones.


    Lightning Wings Flying Technique!


    A pair of wings formed behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back. One could see the outline of a bone structure there, as if it was a pair of wings from an ancient bird of Lightning.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng took the child Demigod and instantly flashed away several hundred yards in the blink of an eye. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhao Feng had formed Emperor Intent, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to instantly fly so far while holding someone.


    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡± the Emperor of Death seemed to become the shadow of Death as he closed in on the two.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In the blink of an eye, the three had exited inland and reached the area outside.


    Those from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace only saw two flashes of light that shot into the sky and disappeared. Only the Palace Master could use her Divine Sense to see the battle in the limitless ocean.


    The scarlet-red-colored lightning was Zhao Feng and the child Demigod.


    ¡°The Emperor of Death is this fast?¡± Zhao Feng realized that the Emperor of Death was able to catch up to him easily.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng was slightly faster than even some Void God Realm Emperors because the increase in his Intent allowed him to comprehend the core essence of the Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    ¡°Master, we can¡¯t defeat the Emperor of Death as of right now,¡± the child Demigod said solemnly.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled, but he didn¡¯t disagree. The Emperor of Death had easily suppressed the entire Sky Sacred Qin Palace right from the beginning. All his aspects had reached the limits of an Emperor.


    At least at the moment, Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t able to figure out a way to deal with the Emperor of Death¡¯s Immortal Death Body. Just this fact alone meant that the Emperor of Death was undefeatable. On top of that, Zhao Feng and the child Demigod weren¡¯t able to handle the Emperor of Death¡¯s Death Forcefield or his Little World.


    The Emperor of Death is extremely strong, and I will definitely lose if the fight drags out, Zhao Feng decided, and his wings fluttered even more quickly.


    Shua!


    Under the orders of Zhao Feng, the child Demigod entered the ancient metal ring. What happened next was shocking.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!¡±


    The wings behind Zhao Feng glowed with a brilliant light as his speed reached the maximum, and he seemed to merge into space.


    Whoosh!


    The Emperor of Death was only able to sense a faint bolt of lightning, and there was no sign of Zhao Feng within several thousand miles.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Spatial Flash? That¡¯s the highest level of the Wind Lightning Inheritance¡­.¡± the Emperor of Death was slightly dazed.


    The technique Zhao Feng just used was the highest level of the Wings of Wind and Lightning ¨C the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash. This technique merged the Lightning Wings Flying Technique with the Lightning Wings Wind Flash to release extreme speed.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng appeared several thousand miles away. This speed was enough to leave most Emperors in dust. The Wind Lightning Emperor wasn¡¯t called the fastest Emperor for nothing. Back then, he managed to escape even from Sacred Lords.


    ¡°My speed in the limitless ocean is more than ten times faster than inland. Several thousand miles isn¡¯t good enough,¡± Zhao Feng wasn¡¯t very satisfied. This meant that he would only be able to flash several hundred miles if he was inland, whereas the Wind Lightning Emperor could easily flash more than a thousand miles even inland.


    As expected, such speed wasn¡¯t enough to throw off the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Death Instant Shadow!¡±


    The Emperor of Death turned into a dark streak of light as he used a powerful spatial technique too.


    As the Emperor of Death got closer:


    ¡°Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!¡±


    The wings behind Zhao Feng released another brilliant glow of light and merged into the air. This time, he traveled a thousand miles further than before.


    After obtaining Emperor Intent, Zhao Feng¡¯s understanding of Space reached an entirely new level, so he was able to use the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash as he pleased. Extreme speed plus absolute Intent created the glory of the fastest Emperor.


    Half the time it took to make tea later, Zhao Feng became more familiar with the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash and was able to minimize the amount of energy he used while also becoming faster. By the end, Zhao Feng could flash seven or eight thousand miles at once.


    Of course, there was still a difference between him and the Wind Lightning Emperor, but Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wings Spatial Flash made him one of the fastest people below the Sacred Lord level.


    An hour later, the distance between Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death began to steadily grow bigger.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Spatial Flash¡­ the highest level of flying that the fastest Emperor had back then,¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s eyebrows furrowed together, and he felt somewhat helpless. He had heard of the Wind Lightning Emperor before ¨C this Emperor had once escaped from even Sacred Lords.


    Eventually, the Emperor of Death¡¯s Divine Sense lost track of Zhao Feng, and he could only follow him from the remaining aura left behind. Luckily for him, Zhao Feng was unable to recreate the aura of the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, so he couldn¡¯t create any diversions.


    The Lightning Wings Spatial Flash condensed a lot of Wind Lightning and would create a large disturbance in space. Zhao Feng felt helpless about this as well. He needed to increase the distance between them first if he wanted to recreate his Lightning Wings Wind Flash to trick the Emperor of Death. The problem was that Zhao Feng¡¯s speed wasn¡¯t exactly overwhelming ¨C he was only slightly faster than the Emperor of Death, and the Emperor of Death had a large amount of True Yuan, allowing him to use the Death Instant Shadow several times.


    Over the limitless ocean, the two extreme speeds and auras made the experts passing by feel cold and become unable to breathe.


    Five or six days later, Zhao Feng finally managed to escape from the Emperor of Death and enter a new island zone.


    Whoosh!


    An arc of lightning fell down from the sky like a meteor and landed on an island similar to the Azure Flower Continent.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. His face was white, and he was slightly staggering. He quickly sat down, took out a fruit from the Ancient Dream Realm, and ate it.

 742 Pursuit of Death 5

    The area Zhao Feng entered was called the Bright Flower Area, and it was about the same rank as the Azure Flower Continent.


    Boom!


    A several-thousand-yard-wide crater formed when he landed because of the power of his Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s face was pale-white, and his aura was weak. He first ate a fruit from the Ancient Dream Realm. If one was running low on True Yuan or Yuan Qi, the fruits from the Ancient Dream Realm were extremely effective, but they took a while to digest. However, Zhao Feng had already used his spiritual pills and treasures to replenish his energy while running.


    The essence contained within the fruit was closer to the origin of existence, and it had an extremely good effect on one¡¯s body and organs. It was countless times better than the Ancient Dream Realm aura.


    After obtaining Emperor Intent, Zhao Feng could absorb the Ancient Dream Realm fruit at a quicker rate than before, and he no longer needed to worry about his foundation being unstable.


    At this moment in time, his every action and breath sucked in a stream of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to replenish his True Yuan Dimension. When one¡¯s Intent became stronger, they could recover at a faster rate, and the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline¡¯s recovery speed was several times better than normal bloodlines.


    Within a day¡¯s time, Zhao Feng recovered most of his Yuan Qi and energy, and his cultivation even became a bit stronger after eating the fruit.


    Zhao Feng also circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and multi-tasked. More than a hundred strange wisps of lightning symbols appeared in his purple Soul Sea. Their auras were gloomy and they glittered with a dark light. These lightning symbols connected with each other, forming a sort of circuit.


    After gaining a deeper understanding of the God Tribulation Lightning Intent and forming Emperor Intent, Zhao Feng could slowly start to use this power properly. However, the recovery speed of the God Tribulation Lightning was very slow, so Zhao Feng needed to be careful when he used it.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait till I have several hundred wisps. At that point, it¡¯ll be much more of a threat to the Emperor of Death. If I can absorb more than a thousand wisps, I¡¯ll be unrivalled against everyone below the Mystic Light Realm,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. At the moment, only the Scarlet Destruction Eye Flame could threaten the Emperor of Death¡¯s Immortal Death Body and barely cause some damage.


    ¡°God Tribulation Lightning¡­ Wings of Wind and Lightning¡­ Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning¡­.¡±


    Zhao Feng had three directions in his mind that could increase his strength.


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning were very important since they were about speed. Zhao Feng also had two other thoughts ¨C comprehending the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash and comprehending the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning.


    With the formation of Emperor Intent, Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension speed increased dramatically, and any bottlenecks from before were easily broken through.


    While Zhao Feng was cultivating, he didn¡¯t know that his arrival strongly impacted the Bright Flower Area.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sound of flying appeared and headed toward the crater where Zhao Feng was staying.


    ¡°Right there! Something descended from the heavens there!¡±


    ¡°Apparently, it¡¯s a never-before-seen meteorite, and it had a beautiful glow of lightning to it. The force of the impact was probably enough to kill a Sovereign.¡±


    Some of the figures in the air said to one another.


    Zhao Feng was like a lightning-filled meteorite as he descended from the limitless ocean. In the eyes of the various forces, this was an omen from the heavens. It might be a rare stone from the outside world or some kind of treasure. However, there was an enormous aura in the thousand-yard-wide crater that made nearby beings unable to get close.


    The sound of flying then came from another few directions. The weakest of those arriving were at the True Lord Rank while the strongest had reached the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    The situation within the Bright Flower Continent was similar to the Azure Flower Continent ¨C there were no Void God Realm Kings. The strongest clan here was only one-and-a-half stars. Therefore, everyone that had come over were the peak experts of the place.


    ¡°What a powerful force of Heaven and Earth¡­.¡±


    These peak experts felt an unblockable force of Heaven and Earth when they got close, and clouds of Wind Lightning appeared in the air.


    ¡°This doesn¡¯t seem like some sort of treasure.¡±


    There were around twenty inland experts here, but they were unable to reach within two hundred miles of the crater. These experts hadn¡¯t even seen Void God Realm Kings before.


    In reality, this was all caused by Zhao Feng¡¯s mental energy, but none of these experts imagined such a thing because the power and magnificence of it had exceeded their knowledge.


    ¡°Even my Spiritual Sense has been suppressed¡­.¡± an Origin Core Realm Sovereign managed to reach a hundred miles and felt unable to breathe.


    Hmm?


    The cultivation Zhao Feng sensed the figures closing in, but he didn¡¯t bother with them. He wanted to increase his cultivation as quickly as possible, so he needed to use Emperor Intent. This meant that such a scene would show up no matter where he went, but none of the experts could reach within a thousand yards of Zhao Feng. Just the force of his cultivation alone made anyone below a Sovereign Lord unable to get close.


    As expected, none of these inland experts were able to reach within a hundred miles of him, and they were unable to sense Zhao Feng¡¯s existence.


    Three days later:


    ¡°With Emperor Intent, cultivating is indeed different.¡±


    Zhao Feng ate another fruit.


    In the forests of the Ancient Dream Realm, more than twenty fruits on the tree were guarded by Zhao Feng¡¯s pets ¨C the snake and the bird.


    Zhao Feng first took down the riper fruits, and his cultivation was starting to close in on the middle-stage Void God Realm. He estimated that if he cultivated in peace for another two months and ate ten more fruits, he would reach the middle stage of the Void God Ream. Emperor Intent greatly increased cultivation speed.


    ¡°Master, if I eat one of those Spiritual Fruits, my Golden Kun Sacred Body might be able to enter the low mastery stage, and I¡¯ll be able to recover my strength quickly. If I get some more resources, I won¡¯t be far off the middle-stage Void God Realm¡­.¡± the child Demigod¡¯s voice sounded. He realized that this fruit that had the aura of the Ancient Dream Realm was dozens of times better than other Spiritual Fruits. The child Demigod was extremely smart and made his request when Zhao Feng was in danger.


    Under normal situations, Zhao Feng would definitely not agree. However, Zhao Feng thought about it and gave the child Demigod five Ancient Dream Realm fruits.


    The child Demigod played a huge role in the fight against the Emperor of Death. His Sacred Body and Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms could limit the power and Intent of the Emperor of Death, which meant that the Emperor of Death they were facing before wasn¡¯t even at his full strength, otherwise Zhao Feng would¡¯ve been severely injured if not dead.


    Zhao Feng knew that the child Demigod wasn¡¯t truly loyal to him. The child Demigod¡¯s biggest wish was to obtain resources and recover his Demigod strength.


    ¡°Little Kun Yun, if you don¡¯t go all-out in the coming battle, I will heavily restrict your resources,¡± Zhao Feng added, and the child Demigod¡¯s heart jumped. Did Zhao Feng notice that he didn¡¯t use his full strength before? In reality, after recovering to the Void God Realm, the child Demigod could use many more techniques.


    Within the thousand-yard-wide crater, Zhao Feng and the child Demigod were both cultivating. The difference was that Zhao Feng was using the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and split his thoughts into several in order to multi-task.


    At the moment, he could split his thoughts into fifteen hundred or so, which was on par with Emperor Duanmu. However, if he split his thoughts into a hundred or a thousand, they could only do easy tasks such as controlling pets. Only four or five could actually do the more complicated tasks. For example, comprehending the God Tribulation Lightning needed a lot of focus.


    On this day, Zhao Feng now had a hundred and seventy wisps of God Tribulation Lightning in his purple Soul Sea. It seemed as if the more he had, the faster the rate of absorption. This wasn¡¯t just because of Zhao Feng¡¯s Emperor Intent; his soul had been cleansed by the God Tribulation Lightning and now had a faint aura of the God Tribulation Lightning, meaning that the God Tribulation Lightning head didn¡¯t repel Zhao Feng¡¯s soul as much.


    Sii!


    A hundred and seventy ancient symbols of lightning appeared in his Soul Sea and gave off an immortal and undying aura. Zhao Feng¡¯s soul and Intent were getting stronger every day. Even his soul had some characteristics of the God Tribulation Lightning. For example, his mental energy attacks now contained the element of the God Tribulation, which countered almost every power under the heavens. The damage it caused was hard to heal.


    Over the last few days, Zhao Feng also had a breakthrough in his comprehension of the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning. His True Yuan Dimension glittered with a golden color that was much more obvious that before.


    ¡°I¡¯ve understood about 50% of the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning, and its power is already comparable to the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s Golden Destruction Wind Lightning,¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    If he added his God Tribulation Lightning Intent, the strength of his Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning was comparable to the Dark Gold Destruction Wind Lightning.


    However, the difference in cultivation between Zhao Feng and the Wind Lightning Emperor was too big, and the same was true for the difference between Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death. On top of that, the Emperor of Death surpassed the Wind Lightning Emperor in almost every way other than speed.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Zhao Feng suddenly realized that a Sovereign Lord expert was within ten miles of the thousand-yard-wide crater. The other Sovereigns nearby seemed to have created some large arrays that blocked the power of Heaven and Earth. This group of people glanced at the crater with greed and excitement.


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Zhao Feng snickered coldly. How dare they disrupt him cultivating?


    Boom!


    Magnificent Power formed in the sky and caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to roar. A large figure of a male with purple hair surrounded in lightning appeared in the sky. It was as if he was a God of Lightning. The outline and appearance of the male was the exact same as Zhao Feng, and it even had part of his strength.


    ¡°Is this¡­ a projection formed from utmost power?¡±


    ¡°The legends say that only those at the unfathomable Emperor level could have such power.¡±


    The magnificent male waved his hand and caused space to shake as an unblockable force passed through the physical world.


    Wah!


    The inland experts that were trying to approach him all spat out blood and were severely injured.


    ¡°Emperor Projection¡­.¡± the child Demigod murmured. He didn¡¯t expect Zhao Feng¡¯s soul Intent to become consolidated by the God Tribulation Lightning to the point that he could use this secret technique.

 743 Pursuit of Death 6

    ¡°Emperor, forgive us!¡±


    ¡°We are dumb and disturbed the Emperor¡¯s rest!¡±


    The nearby experts were all scared, and their faces became pale-white. The Emperor Projection in the air had only gently raised his hand and immediately injured all of them and made them unable to use their powers. At this moment, these experts acted like ants.


    ¡°This island is similar to the Azure Flower Continent¡­.¡± Zhao Feng murmured and remembered his home country. It had been many years since he left the Azure Flower Continent.


    As for the Emperor Projection, he learned it from Duanmu Qing. As long as he had Emperor Intent, he could use it.


    ¡°Fuck off!¡± the Emperor Projection in the air raised his hand and all the experts were sent flying.


    A couple breaths later, all of them were pushed out more than a hundred miles, and they were greatly ruffled. They couldn¡¯t express their shock.


    ¡°The strength of an Emperor is way too terrifying!¡±


    Everyone let out a breath. Why would a legendary Emperor appear here? The strongest here were only Sovereign Lords, and they were the only ones who had even seen a Void God Realm. However, there hadn¡¯t been a new Emperor in this island zone for the past ten thousand years.


    Even normal two-star sects and two-and-a-half-star forces most likely didn¡¯t have an Emperor. Usually, only peak two-star sects had Emperors guarding them.


    ¡°Everyone, leave!¡±


    These experts quickly retreated. If the Emperor changed his mind, he could kill them with just a thought.


    Within the thousand-yard crater, Zhao Feng sat back down, and the child Demigod¡¯s surprise started to fade.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline, comprehension, and potential are too terrifying, especially after he managed to successfully absorb the God Tribulation Lightning, the child Demigod felt a lot of pressure. If this continued, Zhao Feng¡¯s future achievements might surpass his own. Of course, that was only if Zhao Feng was able to survive the Pursuit of Death.


    ¡°Hmm? Not good!¡± Zhao Feng suddenly sensed something and glanced in a certain direction. The next instant, a dark beam of light passed through the barrier of the Bright Flower Area and caused the skies to darken. It was as if doomsday had appeared and a dark era was about to start.


    ¡°Intent of Death! An Emperor Intent!¡± the experts who just retreated felt as if they had fallen into an abyss and couldn¡¯t control their lives. The power of Death filled the air and destroyed all signs of life in its path.


    ¡°So fast!¡± Zhao Feng and the child Demigod looked at each other and charged toward the Emperor of Death without hesitation.


    Lightning Wings Wind Flash!


    A pair of scarlet-gold wings covered in Wind Lightning formed behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back and summoned a scarlet-gold storm that contained a chaotic aura of Destruction.


    Boom~~~~!


    Zhao Feng flew into the air and clashed heavily against the Emperor of Death. Compared to when he was at the Sky Sacred Qin Palace, Zhao Feng¡¯s strength was half a level higher.


    ¡°Death Forcefield!¡±


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s expression changed slightly as a black field appeared around him, which reflected damage and devoured life.


    Boom! Boom! Boom~~~~!


    These peak experts of the Bright Flower Area below felt as if the heavens were shaking and space itself was shattering. This fight between Emperors caused Heaven and Earth to shatter and form a surge of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Just the remains from their battle would create hundred-yard-wide craters on the ground, and this was under the fact that Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death were fighting in the air near the limitless ocean. If this wasn¡¯t the case, this battle between Emperors would be a disaster for the entire area.


    I still can¡¯t break through the Death Forcefield, Zhao Feng¡¯s wings fluttered quickly as he exchanged blows with the Emperor of Death with his agility.


    Now that his attacks contained the fusion of the three spatial domains and he had the advantage in speed, he could manage to fight with the Emperor of Death head-on, but the latter¡¯s Death Forcefield was still too strong; it engulfed any attack under a certain amount of damage and reflected a portion back at Zhao Feng.


    Because Zhao Feng had merged the God Tribulation Lightning into the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning, the Death Forcefield was only able to absorb 50-60% of his attacks at most, but that was still enough to make Zhao Feng helpless.


    ¡°Sacred Body Dominating Strength!¡± the child Demigod started to glow with gold as the size of his four-year-old body became bigger and formed a golden figure in the sky that crushed toward the Emperor of Death.


    The Sacred Body Dominating Strength pressured the Emperor of Death¡¯s physical body, and it was extremely profound ¨C the Emperor of Death¡¯s Immortal Death Body wasn¡¯t a body-strengthening technique.


    ¡°Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms!¡± the child Demigod sent out mystic golden palms one after another, and they seemed to twist the skies as they restrained the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Restricting Yuan Palm!¡± a weird whirlpool started to form in the child Demigod¡¯s palm, and beams of gray-golden light covered the Emperor of Death.


    Hmm? the Emperor of Death¡¯s face became grim. The power of Death and all sorts of Yuan Qi around him stopped flowing as smoothly. He was a peak Emperor whose power of Death was outstanding; if it were a normal King in his place, the majority of their strength would be frozen.


    ¡°Restricting Yuan Palm! Even though it¡¯s incomplete, you actually know this lost forbidden technique¡­!!?¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s expression started to change as he stared at the child Demigod.


    Although the child Demigod wasn¡¯t acting as the main offensive force, his support made the Emperor of Death unable to use his full power. If not for that, Zhao Feng or any other Emperor-level figure would¡¯ve been captured or killed long ago.


    ¡°Scythe of Death!¡± the Emperor of Death started to condense a black scythe in his hand that was surrounded by the power of Death.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Shuu~~~~!


    The giant scythe slashed through the air and complimented the Death Forcefield, forcing Zhao Feng and the child Demigod back.


    Wah!


    The child Demigod¡¯s secret technique was forcefully destroyed, causing him to instantly spit out a mouthful of blood.


    Shua!


    A bloody gash was left behind on Zhao Feng¡¯s delicate scales, but it quickly started to heal.


    The entire area was covered by the Scythe of Death. Normal Kings would¡¯ve died several times over already.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s and the child Demigod¡¯s attacks would be absorbed by the Death Forcefield and used to strength the Scythe of Death.


    ¡°He¡¯s too strong,¡± the child Demigod was stunned facing the frenzied Emperor of Death. One had to know that, when Zhao Feng and the child Demigod teamed up, their battle-power was ¨C at least in the short term ¨C almost comparable to Duanmu Qing¡¯s.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!¡±


    The scarlet-gold wings behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back radiated a bright light as he merged into the air.


    Whoosh!


    One could only see a thin arc of lightning speed into the space outside.


    This time, when Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, he was much more familiar with it compared to before, and his scarlet-gold Wind Lightning was even stronger than the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s golden Wind Lightning. Zhao Feng could move at least a thousand miles inland and dozens of thousands of miles outside.


    ¡°Master, you¡¯re even faster now. You¡¯re getting close to the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s peak speed,¡± the child Demigod¡¯s voice sounded from within the ring.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!¡±


    Zhao Feng moved once again over the limitless ocean and increased the distance between him and the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Our combined battle-power is almost at the peak Emperor level, but we still can¡¯t break through his Death Forcefield or his Immortal Death Body. The Emperor of Death also has the Eye of Death, but he hasn¡¯t used any forbidden techniques yet,¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    After fighting him twice, Zhao Feng was well aware that the Emperor of Death was extremely strong. However, he didn¡¯t realize that the Emperor of Death didn¡¯t want to use his Eye of Death much because he was wary of the ¡°Ninth God¡¯s Eye.¡±


    Firstly, the Emperor of Death knew that Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely resilient against soul attacks, which is what his Eye of Death specialized in. Secondly, the Emperor of Death was worried that any attacks from the Eye of Death would ignite the Ninth God¡¯s Eye¡¯s potential. The more awakened the Ninth God¡¯s Eye became, the lower his chances of stealing it.


    Due to all these reasons, the Emperor of Death couldn¡¯t unleash his full power. If it were any other Peak-tier King or Emperor in Zhao Feng¡¯s place, they would¡¯ve been killed many times over already. Even some of the top Emperors might be defeated.


    Over the next couple days, Zhao Feng managed to escape from the Emperor of Death once more.


    A month later, Zhao Feng passed by several island zones and entered a Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace is neutral, and they have the Sacred Lands behind their backs, Zhao Feng thought.


    His aim here was to rest and replenish some resources, including recovery spiritual pills. Normal places didn¡¯t have any spiritual pills that could replenish the energy of a King; only Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces had what Zhao Feng and the child Demigod wanted.


    His other aim was to cultivate here by relying on the status of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace to protect him. However, within ten days of their arrival, the Emperor of Death arrived and immediately attacked.


    One could imagine what kind of disaster a clash between two Emperors would bring to the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    ¡°A fight between Emperors!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the legendary Emperor of Death!¡±


    Chaos broke out within the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. The Palace Lord was extremely angry, but he couldn¡¯t do anything to stop them. Normal Palace Lords were usually half-step Kings or Kings. It was rare for them to be Emperors.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, how dare you attack a Void Ocean Spiritual Palace? Are you not scared that the Floating Dream Sacred Land will chase after you?¡± Zhao Feng laughed loudly and used the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash to disappear from the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    The Emperor of Death remained expressionless and simply used the Death Instant Shadow to follow. To obtain the Ninth God¡¯s Eye, he would do anything, even if it meant offending all the forces of the Sacred Lands. Besides, it wasn¡¯t as if all the Sacred Lands cooperated with each other, while Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords spent most of their time in seclusion trying to become a God, and the Emperor of Death wasn¡¯t scared of other Emperors.


    In the blink of an eye, two months passed by. On this day, Zhao Feng entered a familiar island zone ¨C the Ten Thousand Abyssal Island Zone. The Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land was the most famous place within the Ten Thousand Abyssal Sacred Land.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be able to reach the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land soon, and the Cold Moon Emperor owes me a favor,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled, and he realized that the next destination might be a turning point.

 744 Pursuit of Death 7

    Zhao Feng arrived at the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land several hours later.


    He didn¡¯t conceal his King aura, and his wings created a windstorm as he flew. All the elites in the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land were stunned by Zhao Feng¡¯s aura, and some of them recognized him.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s wings fluttered as he landed on a Pirate King¡¯s ship.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, it¡¯s you¡­!¡±


    The Pirate King was a recent addition who had a bald head. Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know him, but the bald King recognized Zhao Feng. He had personally witnessed Zhao Feng¡¯s strength in the Pirate Emperor¡¯s Inheritance Sacred Land and how he single-handedly decided who got to be the Emperor.


    ¡°Where is the Cold Moon Emperor?¡± although Zhao Feng didn¡¯t know him, that didn¡¯t stop him from asking about the Cold Moon Emperor¡¯s location.


    The bald King felt the aura radiating from Zhao Feng and replied respectfully. Under the guidance of the bald King, Zhao Feng flew in a certain direction.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng closed in on a large castle formed of several ships. It was like a small island, and various trees, buildings, and bridges could be seen on it.


    After the new Pirate Emperor was crowned, the pirates forged this castle, which was named the Pirate Emperor Imperial Court. The ruler of the Pirate Emperor Imperial Court was obviously the Pirate Emperor ¨C the Cold Moon Emperor.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s arrival made the Pirate Emperor Imperial Court break out into discussion. Not only did Zhao Feng¡¯s aura surpass most Kings, most of the upper echelon pirates knew him.


    Zhao Feng was soon greeted by several Pirate Kings, including the male with golden hair and the one with a long beard.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you actually have time to come to the Pirate Emperor Imperial Court?¡± a bright voice sounded as a flawless silver-clad female appeared, and she was covered in Imperial Power as she appeared in front of Zhao Feng. She had a perfect body and a crown on her head. On her back was a sword and blade.


    The Cold Moon Emperor was surrounded by moonlight as she smiled at Zhao Feng. After a few words of greeting, Zhao Feng suggested that they talk privately, and this action caused many pirates to be envious as the Cold Moon Emperor agreed without hesitation. Furthermore, the serious and stoic Cold Moon Emperor started to smile when she saw Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng turned into a streak of lightning and flew through the air under a surge of Emperor Intent.


    ¡°Emperor Intent!¡±


    The upper echelon pirates in the Pirate Emperor Imperial Court exclaimed; they were dumbfounded.


    Surprise and admiration appeared in the Cold Moon Emperor¡¯s eyes. She had to admit that Zhao Feng¡¯s growth was faster than expected. No wonder he wasn¡¯t interested in the Pirate Emperor¡¯s throne.


    A while later, Zhao Feng and the Cold Moon Emperor were floating in a spot over the limitless ocean that was within direct view of the sunlight, and this place could even destroy the souls and bodies of normal Kings.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you didn¡¯t come here just to visit, right?¡± the Cold Moon Emperor asked. In her mind, Zhao Feng was a cultivation-maniac and wasn¡¯t interested in status.


    Without any hesitation, Zhao Feng told her why he came. During this process, shock appeared on the Cold Moon Emperor¡¯s face, and her expression changed dramatically. It wasn¡¯t just because of the Emperor of Death¡¯s fame, it was also because Zhao Feng could clash with the Emperor of Death head-on and still survive for so long.


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I was a fast runner, I would be dead already¡­ but now that we¡¯ve become stronger, it¡¯s not impossible for us to defeat the Emperor of Death!¡±


    Flames of battle-intent appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes. This battle-intent also contained his fury ¨C Zhao Feng had never been so humiliated ever since he started cultivating.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I owe you a favor and will give it my all. I can¡¯t be sure that we¡¯ll win, but I believe that we can at least hold our ground,¡± the Cold Moon Emperor said decisively. If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Feng¡¯s help, she never would have been able to obtain the throne of the Pirate Emperor and became a Void God Realm Emperor.


    The Cold Moon Emperor¡¯s voice contained a surge of confidence. Zhao Feng knew that the Cold Moon Emperor was the new Pirate Emperor, meaning she would be protected by the Pirate Sacred Land. The crown on her head allowed her to not fear any Emperor for the next decade, but she also couldn¡¯t leave the Pirate Sacred Land for ten years ¨C this protection was only limited to the Pirate Sacred Land.


    This was all planned out by the first Pirate Emperor in the Heaven¡¯s Legacy secret realm. It was because of this that the throne could be passed down for so long.


    Later that day, Zhao Feng entered an enormous desolate canyon similar to the Eight Desolate Mountain. The environment here was bad, and the entire place was covered by a storm. Some other canyons had various mortals and descendants of some pirates, but almost no one lived in this canyon. The reason he chose this place was to make sure no innocents would be harmed in the coming fight.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, rest here for now. If you need anything, just tell me,¡± the Cold Moon Emperor left behind a communication token in the shape of a half-moon.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and entered seclusion with the child Demigod. After fighting multiple times, both their cultivations had increased, and they had replenished their resources at the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace earlier.


    I¡¯ve absorbed more than two hundred wisps of God Tribulation Lightning now.


    More than two hundred symbols of lightning could be seen in his purple Soul Sea, and they all radiated an immortal and undying aura. There wasn¡¯t just an increase in quantity; these symbols were more condensed than before as well.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s comprehension of the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning had reached 50-60%, and he had now merged in more than twice as much God Tribulation Intent into it.


    Weng~~


    A layer of delicate scales appeared around Zhao Feng¡¯s body, and the aura of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline became stronger. The increase in cultivation and body-strength could also make one¡¯s bloodline stronger and increase its potential.


    Normal bloodlines would reach their limit at the Sovereign Lord rank or the King rank, but for a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, the Origin Core Realm was just a start. Even the King level was only considered to be a ¡°childhood¡± stage.


    Over the past couple days, the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye bloodline were growing stronger and awakening even more. Zhao Feng realized that this wasn¡¯t just because of his cultivation ¨C the fruit from the Ancient Dream Realm also played a part. One could see how effective these fruits were by looking at how the child Demigod wanted them so badly.


    Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng ate another fruit.


    ¡°There¡¯s only fifteen left¡­.¡±


    There were fewer and fewer fruits on the tree, and five of them only just formed and wouldn¡¯t ripen until several years later.


    In the blink of an eye, the majority of a month passed by, and Zhao Feng and the child Demigod used all their time on cultivating. After eating three fruits and utilizing a group of treasures, Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation finally broke through.


    ¡°Middle stages of the Void God Realm!¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s True Yuan Dimension glittered with scarlet and gold. The size of it had doubled in comparison to the early stages of the Void God Realm. This meant that Zhao Feng¡¯s foundation and base were much stronger, allowing him to fight long battles with Emperors with the assistance of his Emperor Intent and Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline that gave him a fast recovery speed.


    The child Demigod ate a total of five fruits, and his strength recovered quickly. His Golden Kun Sacred Body had reached the early stages of the fifth level, and he could almost challenge Emperors with his physical body alone. In terms of cultivation, he was also close to the middle stages of the Void God Realm.


    The two had become a lot stronger.


    One day, the Cold Moon Emperor led two Peak-tier Kings to this desolate place.


    Ever since the Pirate Emperor Inheritance, the strength of the older Pirate Kings had increased dramatically. The two Peak-tier Kings were the Giant Shark King and the Ghost Scaled King.


    As one of the three major figurehead pirates in the past, the Giant Shark King¡¯s shark bloodline and physical body were extremely strong, and he had played a big role in fighting Emperor Mu Yun. After the Pirate Emperor Inheritance, he had become stronger.


    The Ghost Scaled King was a Domain-level King that survived the battle with Emperor Mu Yun. He not only had a high-class fish bloodline, he also had a Ghost Spiritual Body.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, the Giant Shark King and the Ghost Scaled King are both willing to help you face the Emperor of Death,¡± the Cold Moon Emperor smiled and said.


    Zhao Feng could see that these two Peak-tier Kings were confident in themselves. Their strength was greater than others of the same cultivation, and when they teamed up, they could fight against normal Emperors, especially since their bloodlines were unique.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, I didn¡¯t think that we¡¯d be working together one day,¡± the Giant Shark King laughed.


    Both of the Peak-tier Kings knew about the terrifying potential and growth of Zhao Feng¡¯s Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline. Furthermore, Zhao Feng even fought the Emperor of Death before and still managed to escape.


    They believed that they would be able to block the Emperor of Death here with their combined strength. In addition, the Pirate Sacred Land was their territory. Even if they couldn¡¯t defeat the Emperor of Death, they would receive Zhao Feng¡¯s friendship and gratitude.


    From this day onward, the Cold Moon Emperor and the two Peak-tier Kings started to live here as well.


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod still quietly cultivated, and their auras made the two Kings click their tongues.


    Three days later, with the help of a continuous stream of resources, the child Demigod had recovered to the middle stages of the Void God Realm, and his Sacred Body now exerted a crushing pressure.


    The Cold Moon Emperor, Zhao Feng, the child Demigod, and two Peak-tier Kings ¨C a total of five experts gathered together, and Zhao Feng felt that the Emperor of Death would arrive soon.


    At the same moment, a stealthy middle-aged male wearing a crown appeared around the edge of the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land.


    Shua!


    A lotus appeared in the Emperor of Death¡¯s hand and quickly expanded. On the lotus was a white-eyed little girl.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡¯s at the Pirate Sacred Land¡­. This battle will be the turning point of destiny,¡± the white-eyed little girl slowly raised her hand.


    Weng~~~


    A picture appeared in the air and depicted a fight. The person in the very middle was the Emperor of Death, who was being attacked by several people on all sides.


    Incredibly, these images kept on changing. It was obvious that the little girl¡¯s Eye of Destiny had been awakened further over the last couple years.


    The last picture at the end was the Emperor of Death and Zhao Feng facing one another, and each of them had a blurry-but-terrifying image behind their backs.


    ¡°How is this possible¡­? These people force me to use the Shadow of the Death God!?¡± the Emperor of Death couldn¡¯t help but exclaim.

 745 Pursuit of Death 8

    ¡°Master, the upcoming battle will affect destiny. No matter who wins or loses, I won¡¯t be able to help you anymore,¡± the white-eyed little girl bit her lips. She had reached her limit in helping the Emperor of Death.


    After saying that, she bowed to the Emperor of Death and asked to leave.


    ¡°I¡¯ll only drag Master down if I stay. My destiny isn¡¯t in the Cang Ocean ¨C it¡¯s in the Continent Zone,¡± the white-eyed girl said, and a weird light glittered in her eyes as she looked in the direction of the Continent Zone.


    ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t force you,¡± the Emperor of Death gave her a deep glance. Without her help, he never would¡¯ve been able to find Zhao Feng in the Cang Ocean. Furthermore, she tried to divine what would happen with all her powers. To a certain degree, the Emperor of Death had the initiative.


    ¡°Before I leave, I would like to tell Master something,¡± Bai Lin suddenly said.


    ¡°Go ahead,¡± the Emperor of Death replied.


    ¡°The owners of the God Eyes are destined by Heaven. They are hard to replace, and the Ninth God¡¯s Eye seems to be even more unique. I hope that Master won¡¯t be too bent on it¡­.¡± Bai Lin said after some deep thought.


    Both Bai Lin and the Emperor of Death were descendants of God Eye holders. Although the difference between the God Eye of Destiny and the Eye of Destiny was only one world, the former was the ancestor and the latter was just the descendant.


    The Eye of Death was the same. To become the owner of the God Eye of Death, the Emperor of Death would need to kill the God of Death and use his Eye of Death to become the next God Eye owner. This was because God Eyes were unique ¨C only one of each could exist in the universe.


    However, even in theory, the difficulty of doing so was almost completely impossible. Therefore, Bai Lin was telling her master that some things couldn¡¯t be forced.


    ¡°I know what you mean,¡± the Emperor of Death paused for a moment before speaking with excitement, ¡°However, the Ninth God¡¯s Eye hasn¡¯t truly awakened yet, nor has its owner matured. This is the easiest chance to obtain a God¡¯s Eye. If I pass up this chance, I will regret it for life.¡±


    In comparison to replacing an original God¡¯s Eye owner, this chance could be said to be one in a trillion. Although the difficulty of killing Zhao Feng was increasing more and more, there was still hope, and as long as there was hope, the Emperor of Death wouldn¡¯t give up. Furthermore, at the moment, he had the absolute advantage in strength.


    Within the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land, a dark light passed through the limitless ocean, and the coldness radiating from it caused the beasts nearby to go silent and tremble out of fear.


    ¡°It¡¯s the Emperor of Death!¡±


    The hearts of the pirates he passed started to twitch.


    The Cold Moon Emperor, Zhao Feng, and company in the desolate canyon received news of his approach as well. In order to deal with the Emperor of Death, the Cold Moon Emperor had ordered all the upper echelons of the Pirate Sacred Land to prepare.


    ¡°He¡¯s almost here,¡± Zhao Feng turned into a streak of lightning and flew into the limitless ocean area. The Cold Moon Emperor, the child Demigod, the Giant Shark King, and the Ghost Scaled King followed suit.


    A while later, the sky became dark as an old majestic figure came into view.


    ¡°Emperor of Death!¡±


    The hearts of the Cold Moon Emperor and company shook as they became on guard. This person was one of the oldest Emperors in the Cang Ocean, and he was often called a nightmare.


    ¡°A new Emperor and two Peak-tier Kings. Zhao Feng, you really think just these people will be able to kill me?¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s voice was filled with coldness and mockery.


    The situation in front of him was what Bai Lin had drawn with the Eye of Destiny, so he was ready for this.


    Zhao Feng and company looked at each other. The Emperor of Death didn¡¯t seem to be surprised by the current scene. On the contrary, it was as if he was expecting it.


    ¡°Emperor of Death,¡± Zhao Feng laughed, ¡°Almost all your subordinates have been killed by me, and your disciple Wen Luoan blew himself up in front of you. Is that where your confidence comes from?¡±


    Hearing that, the Emperor of Death¡¯s face became ugly. The pressure he had tried to exert was instantly shattered.


    ¡°I will take revenge for them by killing you. Then I¡¯ll go find the Eye of Samsara and repay them, whereas you will die and suffer in pain for eternity,¡± the smile on the Emperor of Death¡¯s face became cold and deadly.


    The Cold Moon Emperor and company couldn¡¯t help but hiccup. The Emperor of Death was quite cruel; he didn¡¯t want to just end Zhao Feng¡¯s current life, he was going to make Zhao Feng wish for death in his next lives as well.


    The atmosphere tensed up. The Emperor of Death suddenly spread his arms, and a sticky black spatial dimension of Death appeared in the air.


    ¡°Little World!¡±


    The Cold Moon Emperor and company felt the unrivalled power of a Little World. The Little World of Death devoured the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby and pulled everything ¨C especially souls ¨C toward it.


    The hearts of the child Demigod and the two Peak-tier Kings became heavy as they felt a massive pressure on them. The power of Death continuously expanded, as if it wanted to finish them all off at once.


    The Little World became more and more corporeal, and it was like a black abyss. Once they were sucked into it, the result would be unimaginable.


    ¡°I¡¯ll just break your Little World!¡± the Cold Moon Emperor gripped her sword and blade and sent cold flashes of moonlight through the air. The sword and blade created large chasms in the darkness, so deep that the bottoms couldn¡¯t be seen.


    The interaction of the sword and blade seemed to twist space itself, and the Little World of Death showed signs of becoming unstable.


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s expression changed. He didn¡¯t expect that this woman was an Emperor that specialized in offense.


    The Cold Moon Emperor had unparalleled attacks even when she was a King, and she was amongst the best in terms of offense in the Pirate Sacred Land. Although she still hadn¡¯t formed her own Little World, her spatial domain was close to materializing, and each of her attacks contained the power to split Heaven and Earth. In terms of offense, the Cold Moon Emperor was much stronger than normal Emperors.


    ¡°Attack together!¡± the Giant Shark King and the Ghost Scaled King circulated their bloodline power and used their Peak-tier King strength to bombard the Little World.


    ¡°Sacred Body Dominating Strength!¡± the child Demigod¡¯s body became bigger, and it was covered in gold. A golden image appeared behind him and exerted pressure toward the Emperor of Death and his Little World.


    Boom! Boom!


    At this moment in time, the Emperor of Death¡¯s Little World started to tremble, and many cracks appeared on it. His own body became heavy as the Sacred Body Dominating Strength pressured toward him.


    The Emperor of Death had underestimated the Cold Moon Emperor and the two Peak-tier Kings, and he also underestimated the child Demigod¡¯s growth. After reaching the middle stages of the Void God Realm, the child Demigod¡¯s Golden Kun Sacred Body had reached the early stages of the 5th level, so he was able to block even Emperors for a period of time without trouble due to his overwhelming Intent.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a demigod to become that brat¡¯s servant,¡± the Emperor of Death glanced at the child Demigod.


    The child Demigod¡¯s actions stiffened, but he kept on attacking the Little World of Death.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng hadn¡¯t even entered the fight yet, and the Emperor of Death¡¯s Little World was already shaking slightly. However, the Little World was extremely unique; it devoured the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby, and it could turn nearby beings into a pile of white bones.


    A portion of any attacks from the outside world would be engulfed by the Little World and transformed into its own power or reflected at the attacker. It was the same as the Death Forcefield. Even several Emperors wouldn¡¯t be able to shatter the Little World within a short amount of time.


    ¡°The Emperor of Death isn¡¯t attacking immediately like before; he¡¯s using his Little World instead. He¡¯s planning something.¡±


    Zhao Feng didn¡¯t participate in the attack ¨C he was waiting for the Emperor of Death¡¯s next move. The Little World of Death specialized in defense and support; its offense was average.


    ¡°Death Spirits of Hatred!¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s Eye of Death created a pitch-black whirlpool, and several terrifying auras radiated from within the whirlpool.


    Wuu~~~


    Several bone-chilling screams sounded from the Little World.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Three spirits of hatred, each several hundred yards tall, appeared from the Eye of Death. The very middle one even radiated an aura comparable to an Emperor.


    ¡°An Emperor¡¯s spirit of hatred¡­!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye inspected these spirits.


    The Emperor spirit of hatred looked like Emperor Mu Yun, but it wasn¡¯t completely him. There seemed to be other soul auras from Emperors merged into it as well.


    The auras from the other two spirits were comparable to Peak-tier Kings.


    Amidst howls and screams, the three spirits of hatred charged toward the Cold Moon Emperor, the Giant Shark King, and the Ghost Scaled King. Their hearts tingled, and their souls became uneasy.


    Each of the spirits were formed by at least three partial souls of Emperors or Kings.


    The Cold Moon Emperor, the Giant Shark King, and the Ghost Scaled King were forced to retreat. These three spirits of hatred weren¡¯t just normal spirits of hatred ¨C they had powerful offensive Soul capabilities, as well as the ability to reduce the damage of physical attacks.


    The Cold Moon Emperor had no advantage at all in terms of the soul and was suppressed by the Emperor-level spirit. The Giant Shark King and the Ghost Scaled King were forced to retreat by a King-level spirit respectively.


    ¡°Hmph, measly spirits. Let me kill the two King-level spirits first¡­.¡± Zhao Feng snickered coldly.


    ¡°Mental Energy Spike!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye released a giant purple-colored Mental Energy Spike that was surrounded by a wisp of mysterious lightning.


    Boom!


    One of the King-level spirits was instantly killed by the Mental Energy Spike.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng¡¯s Mental Energy Spike contained the faint power of God Tribulation Lightning, which dealt critical damage to souls.


    Everyone was stunned by Zhao Feng¡¯s ability to destroy a Peak-tier King spirit instantly.


    Just as Zhao Feng was feeling slightly smug, his expression changed dramatically as he sensed something.


    ¡°Master, save me~~~~!¡± the child Demigod yelled.


    ¡°Gaze of Death!¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s dark Eyes of Death landed on the child Demigod from with the Little World. The child Demigod struggled in pain as a faint golden Yuan Soul was about to leave his body.


    When Zhao Feng used the Mental Energy Spike, the Emperor of Death used the Gaze of Death.


    ¡°His target is the child Demigod!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart dropped, and he realized that he had been tricked by the Emperor of Death. The spirits of hatred were only summoned to distract him.


    Although the child Demigod¡¯s Intent was strong, his soul was still only at the King level. On top of that, his forte was body-strengthening, and even in his previous life, his soul was his weakness.

 746 Pursuit of Death 9

    ¡°Master, save me~~~~!¡± the child Demigod struggled as his faint golden Yuan Soul was about to leave his body. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that his Demigod Intent was so strong, even a late-stage Void God Realm King would¡¯ve had their soul taken away by the Emperor of Death already.


    As long as I finish off the revived Demigod Kun Yun, Zhao Feng and the others are nothing to worry about¡­. the Emperor of Death hid in his Little World and fully circulated his Eye of Death to the maximum. At the same time, the dark golden crown on his head released a large amount of Soul undulations, which increased the power of his Soul Dao technique.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been tricked,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s face became solemn.


    The Demigod Kun Yun played a large role in the fight against the Emperor of Death. His Sacred Body and various secret techniques could suppress the Emperor of Death¡¯s Intent and limit his strength. If they lost the child Demigod, Zhao Feng and company would face the Emperor of Death at his peak, and the Gaze of Death was about to succeed and fully drag the child Demigod¡¯s soul out of his body.


    The Emperor of Death had prepared for this; he used the Little World as protection while the Emperor-level spirit of hatred was used to stall the Cold Moon Emperor.


    ¡°If we want to stop the Emperor of Death, we need to enter his Little World.¡±


    Zhao Feng started to think. This plan wouldn¡¯t work though ¨C within one breath, the child Demigod¡¯s soul would be sucked away by the Gaze of Death.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­¡± Zhao Feng took a deep breath as a large source of purple-colored Eye Intent formed a whirlpool in his left eye.


    ¡°Hmm? What!?¡± the Emperor of Death first paused before yelling out loud, ¡°How is this possible!?¡±


    Shua!


    The faint golden Yuan Soul that had been partially pulled out was suddenly being pulled by another force. The Gaze of Death started to reverse.


    ¡°Gaze¡­ of¡­ the¡­ God¡­ Eye!¡±


    A purple whirlpool formed in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and connected to a purple world of illusions. A suction force came from Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye.


    ¡°Great!¡± the child Demigod was overjoyed as he felt a technique similar to the Gaze of Death pull him back in the direction of his body.


    ¡°Gaze of the God Eye? You stole my secret technique¡­!¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s smile froze, and his expression became ugly. At this moment, his breathing rate quickened and his face became green. The Gaze of Death was one of his most famous techniques, and now it had been stolen by a brat.


    ¡°Hmph, all one needs is a certain amount of understanding of the Dao of the Soul. It¡¯s not very hard to learn. The main issue is that one needs an eye-bloodline in order to properly utilize its force.¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s purple hair blew in the wind as his left eye locked on to the child Demigod.


    Gaze of Death versus Gaze of the God Eye. These two skills were technically the same, and both of their eye-bloodlines were biased toward the soul.


    Zhao Feng had faced the Gaze of Death twice before. The first time was when he was in the Purple Saint Ruins and the second was when he was at the border of the Pirate Sacred Land. Adding on the fact that Zhao Feng had studied the Dark Eye Secret Manual before, he understood a lot of the theory behind the technique, so it wasn¡¯t too hard for him to inspect it and create his own Gaze of the God Eye.


    In the air, the faint golden Yuan Soul of the child Demigod was slowly returning to his body. Having Demigod Intent, the power of his struggle against the Gaze of Death was almost the same as an Emperor¡¯s struggle. This meant that the Emperor of Death needed to face the combined power of Zhao Feng and the child Demigod when trying to steal the Yuan Soul.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, your techniques shall become even more famous through me,¡± Zhao Feng laughed.


    The Emperor of Death was already enraged, and he almost spat out blood when he heard that.


    The child Demigod¡¯s faint golden Yuan Soul returned to his body and was guarded with the help of Zhao Feng. In order to prevent the Emperor of Death from doing this again, Zhao Feng used his eye-bloodline power to set up a layer of protection made from God Tribulation Lightning around the child Demigod¡¯s Yuan Soul. This meant that, if the Emperor of Death wanted to try again, he would have to face the power of the God Tribulation Lightning, meaning that it won¡¯t go as smoothly.


    ¡°Master, thank the heavens you made it in time,¡± the child Demigod let out a long breath.


    On the other side, the Cold Moon Emperor, the Giant Shark King, and the Ghost Scaled King were gaining the upper hand against the spirits of hatred. The main offensive techniques of the spirits of hatred were soul-based, and their physical attacks weren¡¯t very strong.


    The Cold Moon Emperor and company were able to deal with them after learning their pattern. The Giant Shark King and the Ghost Scaled King made one of the spirits scream continuously. The Ghost Scaled King had a Ghost Spiritual Body, so his attacks were more effective against the spirits while he took less damage from them.


    Zhao Feng and the child Demigod started to attack the Little World without hesitation.


    ¡°Scarlet Golden Exploding Fist!¡± Zhao Feng circulated his Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning and punched out, creating a storm of scarlet and gold that covered the sky. The entire dark dimension was covered by a scarlet-golden light that seemed to shake space itself. This punch contained Zhao Feng¡¯s three spatial domains as it clashed with the Little World.


    Crack!


    Cracks started to appear on the Little World, and one was even several miles long. The Scarlet Golden Exploding Fist focused on the word ¡°exploding,¡± and it had the power of the God Tribulation Lightning contained within it.


    ¡°Not good!¡± the expression of the Emperor of Death changed dramatically as his Little World was bombarded and filled with holes.


    Now that Zhao Feng¡¯s soul had absorbed more than two hundred wisps of God Tribulation Lightning in total, its aura was more condensed than ever before, and the damage it caused was hard to repair.


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s Little World was based on his True Yuan Dimension, so he could fix the damage to his Little World with his own power. However, the destruction caused by the God Tribulation Lightning was too strong; it harmed the structure and origin of the Little World itself, meaning that it would be almost impossible to repair.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, I¡¯ll first destroy your Little World!¡± Zhao Feng roared, and he unleashed his attacks as a pair of wings formed behind his back. The Wings of Wind and Lightning increased his destructive power, and his advantage in speed allowed him to move as he pleased.


    ¡°Restricting Yuan Palm! Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms!¡± the child Demigod used his supreme Intent and limited the Emperor of Death¡¯s strength.


    The flow of the Yuan Qi within the Little World started to become rougher as its power was diminished.


    Ridiculous!


    The Emperor of Death was enraged as he watched his own Little World become so damaged.


    Compared to a couple months ago, Zhao Feng and the child Demigod were much stronger; they were growing at incredible rates.


    Zhao Feng cultivated the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning, which had never appeared before, and he had even absorbed a couple hundred wisps of God Tribulation Lightning. Zhao Feng focused on destroying the foundation of the Little World, and his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could easily see the flaws of the Emperor of Death¡¯s Little World.


    ¡°Death Forcefield!¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s Little World quickly faded away and was replaced by a forcefield that devoured all life and power nearby.


    The radius of the Death Forcefield was smaller, but it could absorb and reflect damage better. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning was different from before because it now had the power of God Tribulation Lightning merged into it.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Death Forcefield started to shake, and it could barely reflect less than 30% of Zhao Feng¡¯s attacks. The God Tribulation Lightning countered almost everything in the world, including the power of Death, so how could all of it be absorbed and reflected?


    The Death Forcefield would tremble every time the two powers clashed, and it used up a lot of energy.


    ¡°Restricting Yuan Palm!¡±


    The child Demigod¡¯s attacks also changed. Restricting Yuan Palm restricted every type of Yuan Qi. When it was mastered to a certain level, it could even seal off all the Yuan Qi within a certain area. At that point in time, only physical body-strength wouldn¡¯t be affected. This secret technique and body-strengthening techniques were an unparalleled combination.


    The Death Forcefield was also a type of Yuan Qi power, so it started to weaken due to the Restricting Yuan Palm.


    ¡°Scythe of Death!¡± the Emperor of Death counterattacked as a black scythe started to form in his hand.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The scythe flashed through the air as it sliced toward Zhao Feng and the child Demigod, but with the help of the Restricting Yuan Palm, the flow of Yuan Qi from the Emperor of Death¡¯s attacks and defenses weren¡¯t as smooth as before.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    Sparks flew everywhere from Zhao Feng and the child Demigod¡¯s bodies. Their physical defense had reached a monstrous level.


    Zhao Feng had the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline, and all physical attacks would start to freeze when they came near him. The scales on his skin were also extremely strong.


    The child Demigod¡¯s Golden Kun Sacred Body had reached the early stages of the 5th level. Peak-tier Kings would find it hard to even break his defense. All he needed to do was stay with Zhao Feng and take care of the Emperor of Death¡¯s counterattacks.


    ¡°Watch how I destroy your Death Forcefield!¡± Zhao Feng moved quickly through the air with the child Demigod and started to condense a hundred-yard-long scarlet-golden spear out of lightning. Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning appeared in the form of a spear.


    Whoosh!


    The scarlet-golden spear had a Destructive aura as well as the God Tribulation Lightning, and it pierced straight through the Death Forcefield.


    As the Death Forcefield started to crack and become unstable:


    Ding! Dang! Dang!


    The Emperor of Death waved his Scythe of Death and clashed with Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet-Gold Spear of Lightning, creating a wave of forbidden power.


    ¡°Retreat!¡± the expressions of the Giant Shark King and the Ghost Scaled King changed dramatically as they retreated.


    ¡°What terrifying power¡­!¡± the Cold Moon Emperor felt the clash between Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death, and even she had to move back a bit.


    The remaining King-level spirit of hatred was already full of injuries; it was instantly killed in the shockwave.


    The Emperor of Death, Zhao Feng, and the child Demigod were fighting, and they had no time to worry about the spirits of hatred.


    The longer the Emperor of Death fought, the more shocked he was. Zhao Feng¡¯s strength had grown at an alarming rate; the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning had already exceeded the Wind Lightning Inheritance, and his battle-power was even stronger than the Wind Lightning Emperor at his peak. The Wind Lightning Emperor didn¡¯t have God Tribulation Lightning merged into his attacks.


    ¡°Zhao Feng already has the battle-power of a peak Emperor¡­!¡± the Cold Moon Emperor and the two Peak-tier Kings were stunned.

 747 Pursuit of Death 10

    Zhao Feng¡¯s overall battle-power was indeed not weaker than top Emperors. After the God Tribulation Lightning merged into the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning, it exceeded the original limits of the Wind Lightning Inheritance and gave his wings unparalleled speed. The Mystic Ice Scaled Race was one of top hundred Ten Thousand Ancient Races; it had extremely powerful defense, and it came along with a spatial domain. The potential of the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye made the Emperor of Death wary.


    The only thing Zhao Feng lacked was cultivation. After all, the Emperor of Death had lived for a very long time while Zhao Feng was only in his twenties.


    In the air above the limitless ocean, the Emperor of Death and Zhao Feng entered a fiery-hot battle. Of course, the child Demigod played a huge role in this fight. Because of his existence, the Emperor of Death was unable to use many techniques or unleash his full power.


    The Emperor of Death was enraged. His Eye of Death, which he relied on the most, was countered by the Ninth God¡¯s Eye to a certain degree. In the clash between the Gaze of Death and the Gaze of the God Eye previously, his eye-bloodline trembled with uneasiness, and he didn¡¯t dare to use his Eye of Death in case it awakened the Ninth God¡¯s Eye.


    Boom~~~~!


    The sound of an explosion sounded in the soul-dimension not far away. The remaining Emperor-level spirit of hatred was killed by the Cold Moon Emperor and company.


    ¡°Attack together!¡± the Cold Moon Emperor, the Giant Shark King, and the Ghost Scaled King ¨C the three strongest pirates ¨C charged over.


    None of them were simple. The Giant Shark King and the Ghost Scaled King had unusual bloodlines, and their battle-powers were very close to an Emperor¡¯s. The two also specialized in defense and survival.


    At this moment in time, just as the white-eyed girl predicted, the Emperor of Death was being attacked by the group.


    ¡°Why¡­?¡±


    The Emperor of Death felt an unstoppable destiny. He tried to counter destiny, but nothing changed.


    With the addition of the Cold Moon Emperor and company, the Emperor of Death was at a disadvantage for the first time.


    ¡°Unrivalled Sword and Blade!¡± the Cold Moon Emperor¡¯s sword and blade intertwined, creating a storm of moonlight.


    Weng~ Shu~~~~!


    The storm spun quickly, and a sharp light filled the air. Everything it moved over was cut into atoms.


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s Death Forcefield cracked even more as the Unrivalled Sword and Blade clashed with it.


    The Cold Moon Emperor was courageous, and she charged toward the Death Forcefield. Everyone was stunned, and mockery appeared on the Emperor of Death¡¯s face. Getting close to the Death Forcefield was courting death; the Death Forcefield had a strong engulfing power, and it could reflect attacks.


    However, what happened next surprised everyone; a mystic power surged from the crown on the Cold Moon Emperor¡¯s head as it connected to the entire Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land in a mysterious way. The Cold Moon Emperor was instantly covered in an eye-catching light. This power of protection increased her defense by more than ten times.


    Boom!


    The Cold Moon Emperor made the storm of swords and blades charge straight into the Death Forcefield. No matter who won or lost this exchange, the Cold Moon Emperor wouldn¡¯t be defeated.


    ¡°The protection of the Pirate Sacred Land¡­.¡± only now did the Emperor of Death remember that the Cold Moon Emperor was the new Pirate Emperor and was protected by the Pirate Sacred Land.


    One had to know that the Cold Moon Emperor specialized in offense, and with this protection, she was basically undefeatable, meaning that she was extremely troublesome.


    Crack~~ Boom!


    With the combined attack of the five from both inside and outside, the Death Forcefield finally shattered.


    Bam!


    The instant the Death Forcefield broke apart, the Emperor of Death was pushed back several miles, and he was slightly injured even though he had an Immortal Death Body.


    Before he could stabilize himself:


    ¡°Wind Lightning Wings Slash!¡±


    A large pair of scarlet-golden wings moved as fast as light and appeared right next to the Emperor of Death, slicing him with a scorching edge.


    Shua~~~


    The scarlet-golden wings radiated a Destructive aura as they exploded onto the Emperor of Death. A bone-deep gash was instantly left behind on the Emperor of Death¡¯s body. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he had an Immortal Death Body, he would have been maimed or killed already.


    The Emperor of Death groaned from his injury. Terrifyingly, the damage caused by the power of the God Tribulation Lightning in combination with the aura of Destruction was almost eternal and unable to be recovered from.


    ¡°Restricting Yuan Palm!¡±


    ¡°Rainbow of Swords and Blades!¡±


    The child Demigod and the Cold Moon Emperor charged in from the other direction.


    The Emperor of Death had to summon his Little World in order to block their attacks, but all this could do was stall them. The Little World wouldn¡¯t be able to last very long against these five experts.


    In just a couple breaths, many holes and gaps started to appear in the Little World, some from earlier and some from now.


    ¡°Don¡¯t let him run!¡± Zhao Feng and the Cold Moon Emperor looked at each other as they charged into the depths of the Little World.


    Under normal situations, entering the opponent¡¯s Little World wasn¡¯t a good idea, but the Little World of Death was extremely damaged at the moment, so they weren¡¯t scared. The Cold Moon Emperor had the protection of the Pirate Sacred Land and couldn¡¯t be defeated, so she obviously didn¡¯t need to worry at all.


    ¡°Ice Imperial Spear!¡±


    An ice-blue liquid flowed through Zhao Feng¡¯s bloodline and formed a layer of armor of ice over his body.


    ¡°Sealing Heaven and Earth in Ice!¡± Zhao Feng roared as he unleashed the power of his Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, and a powerful chill froze space. Ice instantly started to appear in the Little World, and its power was weakened further.


    ¡°Unrivalled Sword and Blade!¡± the Cold Moon Emperor slashed her sword and blade around, creating a storm of moonlight that filled the air.


    The world started to shatter wherever they went.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Little World started to shake and was close to breaking apart altogether.


    Zhao Feng and the Cold Moon Emperor soon arrived in front of the Emperor of Death. In this dimension, the Emperor of Death was protected by the Little World, but unfortunately, the world was close to breaking apart, and it could no longer strengthen him.


    ¡°You¡¯ve actually forced me to this step¡­! As expected of the owner of the Ninth God¡¯s Eye,¡± the Emperor of Death sighed as his pitch-black eyes started to spin, and a strong force of Death radiated from them.


    ¡°I couldn¡¯t do it alone,¡± Zhao Feng didn¡¯t get cocky. Although the Emperor of Death was at a big disadvantage and was injured, he still had at least 95% of his full battle-power remaining.


    Crack! Crack!


    The Little World started to crumble into pieces from to the internal and external attacks and was about to explode, but the three inside remained unharmed as their defense had all reached an incredulous level. Although the Cold Moon Emperor¡¯s fundamental defense was weaker, she had the protection of the Pirate Sacred Land.


    ¡°Shadow¡­ of¡­ the¡­ Death¡­ God!¡±


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s eye-bloodline power started to burn as it created cold flames.


    Burning his eye power!? Zhao Feng was stunned as the Emperor of Death became covered in dark flames.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The flames that covered the Emperor of Death started to expand and turn into a figure of Death.


    ¡°That¡¯s¡­!!?¡±


    Zhao Feng and the Cold Moon Emperor both felt their souls go cold as they felt a forbidden aura of Death.


    The skies turned dark.


    Wu~~


    The figure of Death held a scythe in one hand and seemed to be the essence of darkness. In this moment, the souls of everyone present started to shake. It was as if the shadow of the Death God itself had covered them.


    Suddenly, the eyes of the figure of Death slowly started to open, and it shot out two beams of Death as it looked down coldly.


    ¡°Shadow of the Death God¡­? Could it be the power of the legendary God Eye of Death ¨C the Supreme Ruler of Death?¡±


    The souls of Zhao Feng and company went cold and felt as if all their powers were restricted.


    The Shadow of the Death God started to condense, and it released a forbidden aura that turned everything within ten thousand miles into darkness. All beings in this instant were controlled by the God of Death.


    ¡°The Shadow of the Death God uses the bloodline of the Eye of Death to summon a tiny bit of power from the ancestral God Eye of Death. Zhao Feng, I really didn¡¯t think you would be able to force me to use this,¡± the Emperor of Death revealed a pained expression as he was below the Shadow of the Death God. Every moment the Shadow of the Death God was up, his bloodline and soul power would be burned. However, victory now belonged to him.


    ¡°God Eye of Death¡­ this is just a tiny bit of power from it!?¡± the Cold Moon Emperor, the child Demigod, and company were completely shocked.


    They were unable to control their souls. Just a single gaze from the Shadow of the Death God controlled their lives. The only one able to struggle was Zhao Feng, but his Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline trembled uneasily; after all, this was a bit of power from the God Eye of Death itself.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng circulated his Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline to the maximum, and it even started to burn, covering him in a layer of ice-blue dragon scales. In the next instant, the roar of a dragon sounded, and the image of a Mystic Ice Dragon surfaced behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back. The power of a supreme ancient dragon clashed against the world of darkness.


    ¡°This is the power of a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline retracing back to its ancestor!¡± Zhao Feng was secretly shocked. He knew about this move from the information contained within his bloodline, but he didn¡¯t think he would be able to use it in this situation.


    However, facing the image of the Mystic Ice Dragon, the Shadow of the Death God remained unmoving, and the group¡¯s fear and despair of having their lives controlled was still there.


    The scythe in the hand of the Shadow of the Death God slowly lowered downwards, and half of the Cold Moon Emperor¡¯s soul was pulled out. The souls of the child Demigod and the two Peak-tier Kings were about to leave their bodies even though they weren¡¯t even in range of the attack.


    Only Zhao Feng could fight back. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely resilient against attacks in the soul-dimension.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye started to beat quickly.


    ¡°The Ancient is broken, and the Ancient Gods slain will turn into a trillion particles of dust¡­.¡± a sigh seemed to resound throughout space and time.


    Boom!


    The entire dimension of his left eye shook, and Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline started to burn. A faint purple flame enveloped Zhao Feng¡¯s body.


    Weng~~


    The figure of an ancient God Demon started to form amidst the faint purple flames, and an ancient, magnificent aura appeared, causing the actions of the Shadow of the Death God to stiffen slightly.

 748 Pursuit of Death 11

    The figure of the ancient God Demon covered the sky, and its purple flaming figure radiated an ancient and majestic aura.


    Zhao Feng felt his eye-bloodline power burning, and there was a searing pain. He finally understood why the Emperor of Death only used the Shadow of the Death God now.


    Shua!


    The Cold Moon Emperor¡¯s soul returned to her body, and cold sweat covered her body. Even though she had the protection of the Pirate Sacred Land, that didn¡¯t mean she was truly undefeatable. When the Emperor of Death used the Shadow of the Death God without regard for the price, even those at the Mystic Light Realm would need to be wary.


    Wu~~~


    The outline of the God Demon figure became blurry, and one could tell it was the phantom of an ancient God Demon from its aura. At this moment in time, the Mystic Ice Dragon figure that came from Zhao Feng¡¯s Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline trembled and started to move around the figure of the God Demon.


    In the air, the power of the Shadow of Death and the ancient God Demon clashed, creating an invisible shockwave that sent the Cold Moon Emperor flying.


    Bam!


    The Cold Moon Emperor used this power to retreat more than a hundred miles away, and her face went white. If she didn¡¯t have the protection of the Pirate Sacred Land, she would¡¯ve lost a layer of skin at the very least even if she was a peak Emperor.


    The child Demigod and the two Peak-tier Kings were sent flying away as well even though they were farther away.


    Boom~~~~!


    Two enormous figures left their owners¡¯ bodies and smashed together in the air above the limitless ocean. A loud explosion sounded as a wave of flames surged throughout the soul-dimension. Everyone felt as if space itself was shaking.


    ¡°Both bloodline powers are retracing back to their ancestors,¡± the child Demigod was stunned.


    The Shadow of the Death God was used by the Emperor of Death through his eye-bloodline, and it summoned a tiny bit of power from the God Eye of Death. The God Demon behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back was the origin power from his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye that hadn¡¯t awoken yet.


    From a certain degree, it could be said that they were igniting the very source of their eye-bloodlines. The difference was that Zhao Feng¡¯s was the first ancestor himself.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The two figures clashed in the sky and would dim a bit every time. At the same time, the expressions of Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death became weaker and weaker.


    Crack~~~~!


    The Mystic Ice Dragon surrounding the ancient God Demon finally managed to shatter the Shadow of the Death God, and the ancient God Demon ¨C even though it was on the verge of disappearing ¨C managed to hit the Emperor of Death.


    Not good! the Emperor of Death was sent flying, but the crown on his head and the Immortal Death Body blocked most of the damage.


    Crack!


    The ancient God Demon and the Mystic Ice Dragon images both faded away at the same time. Zhao Feng¡¯s expression was extremely weak; igniting his bloodlines burned his lifeforce and soul. He could already feel his eye-bloodline power weakening.


    ¡°Death Instant Shadow!¡± the Emperor of Death turned into a dark streak of light and disappeared. In terms of speed, the Death Instant Shadow wasn¡¯t as fast as the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, but it was more profound.


    ¡°So fast!¡± the Cold Moon Emperor and company all sucked in a cold breath. It was difficult to force the Emperor of Death to this degree.


    ¡°Sky Locking Bow!¡± a cold glint flashed across Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes as he held the dark silver bow, and mysterious markings started appearing on it.


    Weng~~


    An eye-catching scarlet-golden arrow started to condense, and it radiated a sharpness that seemed able to pierce space.


    The very next instant, the Emperor of Death, who had already run out several thousand miles, felt his body go cold as the sharpness locked on to him. He even felt that space itself was being locked on to, which even restricted his Death Instant Shadow.


    As the name suggested, the Sky Locking Bow could lock the sky itself. Now that Zhao Feng¡¯s Intent had become stronger, he started to unlock its true potential.


    Shu~~


    A scarlet-golden arrow seemed to appear out of a portal as it shot into the Emperor of Death¡¯s heart.


    ¡°Sky¡­ Locking¡­ Bow¡­¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s body froze as the scarlet-golden arrow shot straight through his heart.


    If it was just a regular arrow, he wouldn¡¯t have been scared since he had the Immortal Death Body. However, the scarlet-golden arrow contained the power of the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning, which included the Intent from the God Tribulation Lightning. The destruction caused by this could counter even his Immortal Death Body.


    ¡°Death Instant Shadow!¡± the Emperor of Death was almost burning his True Yuan as he tried to escape. If he stayed in the Pirate Sacred Land any longer, he would be unable to escape. After all, there was still the Cold Moon Emperor and countless Pirate Kings.


    ¡°After I escape, I¡¯ll return in the future and refine all my enemies into spirits of hatred¡­!¡± the Emperor of Death was filled with anger and humiliation that he had never felt before. Being one of the oldest Emperors in the Cang Ocean and someone who had reincarnated twice, he was unparalleled below the Mystic Light Realm, and he could even face many Sacred Lords on equal footing. When had he ever faced such humiliation and defeat?


    Right at this moment:


    Shu~~~!


    A second scarlet-golden arrow flashed through the air and shot into his head.


    The Emperor of Death groaned as his body shook, but this time, he was prepared. A tattoo of Death appeared around his body, which increased the defense of his Immortal Death Body.


    Zhao Feng shot out three arrows until the Emperor of Death finally escaped his range.


    ¡°Cold Moon Emperor, Giant Shark King, Ghost Scaled King. Thank you for all your help. I will repay you all in the future,¡± Zhao Feng said solemnly and took a deep breath to circulate his blood and recover his True Yuan.


    The child Demigod stood next to him and looked in the direction where the Emperor of Death had escaped.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, you want to chase after the Emperor of Death?¡± the Cold Moon Emperor asked in surprise. All of them combined their strength to finally defeat the Emperor of Death, but if Zhao Feng chased after the Emperor of Death alone, it would be risky.


    ¡°I can¡¯t give the Emperor of Death time to recover. I will repay the humiliation I¡¯ve suffered because of him several times over,¡± Zhao Feng said decisively.


    Whoosh!


    A pair of scarlet-golden wings formed behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back as he put the child Demigod into the ancient metal ring.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!¡±


    A long arc of lightning flashed over the limitless ocean. The speed that Zhao Feng displayed was much faster than the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°With Zhao Feng¡¯s strength and speed, as long as he doesn¡¯t underestimate the Emperor of Death, he shouldn¡¯t be at a disadvantage¡­.¡± the Cold Moon Emperor let out a breath.


    Zhao Feng had the battle-power of a peak Emperor, and his speed was extremely fast. The most important point was that he wasn¡¯t scared of the Eye of Death, which was something no other Emperor could claim. Furthermore, Zhao Feng also had the Sky Locking Bow, a weapon great for chasing after people.


    Over the limitless ocean, a dark beam of light and an arc of lightning flashed one after the other.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wings Spatial Flash had the advantage in terms of speed, and every time he was in range, Zhao Feng would unleash an arrow.


    Bam!


    The Emperor of Death groaned. The only thing he could do was strengthen his defense in order to reduce the damage from the Sky Locking Bow. This was because the Sky Locking Bow¡¯s attacks couldn¡¯t be evaded unless the difference in cultivation was simply massive.


    When Zhao Feng¡¯s Sky Locking Bow and God¡¯s Spiritual Eye worked together, the opponent wouldn¡¯t be able to dodge at all as long as they were locked on to, but shooting the arrow meant that he would pause for a moment and slow down. The Emperor of Death would use that chance to further the distance between them after taking a hit head-on.


    ¡°Immortal Death Body¡­ I still can¡¯t find its counter,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows locked together. The Emperor of Death had the Immortal Death Body, and he was basically undying. Its defense was extremely strong, and its recovery speed was monstrous.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Zhao Feng had merged the God Tribulation Lightning into his attacks, there was no chance of him killing the Emperor of Death at all. However, Zhao Feng¡¯s God Tribulation Lightning was limited and couldn¡¯t be used forever.


    The Immortal Death Body had no vital points, and the Emperor of Death was essentially a living corpse. The Emperor of Death also had the power of Death, meaning that in such a living-dead state, his Yuan Qi recovery rate was much faster than other Emperors.


    Several days later, Zhao Feng had chased the Emperor of Death to another island zone. His breathing rate was quick and extremely weak. The Emperor of Death in front was severely injured.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng turned into a streak of scarlet-golden lightning, landed on an island filled with Yuan Qi, and started to rest.


    ¡°The Emperor of Death is more injured than me, but his cultivation and amount of True Yuan are far above mine¡­.¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled. He then ate an Ancient Dream Realm fruit and several spiritual pills to increase his recovery speed.


    ¡°Master, you can try another method and try to attack the Emperor of Death with soul-based attacks,¡± the child Demigod warned.


    The soul? Zhao Feng started to think. His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was indeed Soul-based, but so was the Emperor of Death¡¯s.


    ¡°The soul is the source of all life. Even if you somehow managed to defeat his Immortal Death Body, you wouldn¡¯t be able to stop the Emperor of Death reviving or stealing another body,¡± the child Demigod explained.


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Zhao Feng nodded his head. He had thought about attacking through the soul before, but the Emperor of Death and his Eye of Death excelled in the soul. Furthermore, the crown he wore was a Soul Dao treasure that could increase the strength of his Soul Dao techniques as well as increase the recovery speed of his soul power.


    ¡°Although it will be slightly difficult, that¡¯s also the best way,¡± Zhao Feng decided. His eye-bloodline was a God Eye, and he had fused with the power of God Tribulation Lightning, which was something that the Emperor of Death didn¡¯t have.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!¡±


    After resting for half a day, Zhao Feng then entered the limitless ocean once more and continued the chase.


    Although his cultivation was nowhere close to the Emperor of Death¡¯s, he had Emperor Intent and a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. In terms of recovery speed, he was even better than the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Half a day is enough for the Emperor of Death to have run a bit,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes twinkled, but he was somehow confident.


    He opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye to find the traces of aura left behind by the Emperor of Death and follow him. The God¡¯s Spiritual Eye could see the source of everything, which is why he was also able to copy techniques and other things. In terms of tracking, he was definitely amongst the best. On top of that, he had the little thieving cat, as well as that last bit of Death Intent left behind in his Soul Sea by the Emperor of Death.


    Zhao Feng soon confirmed a direction and used the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash. He was sure that the injured and weak Emperor of Death would need more time than him to recover.

 749 Pursuit of Death 12

    In the air above the limitless ocean, a dark figure entered an island where the Yuan Qi was much thicker than the Azure Flower Continent.


    An hour later, within a one-and-a-half-star clan on the island.


    ¡°Arghhh!¡±


    Screams sounded from everywhere, and the Emperor of Death stood in the air as his tattered Little World of Death enveloped the clan.


    ¡°Emperor, why are you slaughtering my clan?¡± a Sovereign kneeled on the ground and asked in a trembling voice. His eyes were red.


    ¡°The Luo Lin Clan has no enmities with the Emperor, please spare us¡­.¡± another Sovereign begged.


    Even though it was just a broken Little World, it wasn¡¯t something a one-and-a-half-star clan could fight against. Forces that hadn¡¯t reached two-stars were less than ants in the eyes of the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Tentacles of Death!¡±


    Black tentacles started to shoot out from the Emperor of Death¡¯s body and wrap around the cultivators at the True Spirit Realm and Origin Core Realm. The lifeforce and essence of these cultivators started to flow away, and color started to appear in the Emperor of Death¡¯s pale face as his Yuan Qi was replenished.


    Tentacles of Death was a healing technique that devoured the lifeforce of others in order to heal himself and recover his Yuan Qi. The greatest advantage of this technique was that it was fast, but the weakness was that the replenished Yuan Qi was impure and needed time to refine. If he overused it, it would change the origin of his True Yuan and wouldn¡¯t completely heal him, especially if he was already severely injured. Furthermore, relying on it too much could leave hidden injuries behind.


    However, even though it had these weaknesses, Tentacles of Death was still a heaven-defying method.


    Within an hour¡¯s time, the entire Luo Lin Clan was destroyed by the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°I¡¯ve recovered 40-50% of my Yuan Qi, but my injuries haven¡¯t healed as well as I thought¡­.¡± the Emperor of Death murmured.


    The Luo Lin Clan had turned into a mountain of white bones, but only those at the Origin Core Realm or higher would be effective on him if he used Tentacles of Death.


    Several hours later, the Emperor of Death destroyed another one-star clan and recovered 60-70% of his True Yuan.


    ¡°The recovery of my injuries is quite slow¡­.¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s eyebrows locked together.


    Damage that could injure an Emperor wouldn¡¯t be easily healed. Furthermore, Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    ¡°I need to find some Kings in order to recover faster¡­.¡±


    Thinking up to there, the Emperor of Death left this island and found that there was a two-star sect nearby after soul-searching a Sovereign Lord.


    Normal two-star sects were obviously nothing in the eyes of the Emperor of Death.


    Half a day later, at a two-star sect named the Scorching Sky Sect:


    ¡°Emperor of Death, why are you attacking my sect!?¡± a bulky male surrounded in blue flames roared.


    Cries sounded from all over the Scorching Sky Sect as the Emperor of Death used his Little World of Death to cover any experts at the Great Origin Core Realm or higher.


    ¡°Tentacles of Death!¡±


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s black eyes landed on the bulky male in blue flames, and the latter¡¯s soul seemed to freeze. He was unable to fight back, and the Tentacles of Death soon wrapped themselves around the male in blue flames and started to absorb his lifeforce and essence.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, stop~~~!¡±


    The sound of flying appeared, and three Void God Realm Kings arrived. One of them was a good-looking female wearing a dress; she was a Peak-tier King.


    Hmm? the Emperor of Death was slightly surprised. He didn¡¯t expect reinforcements to arrive so quickly.


    The traces of him killing two whole one-star clans had been found, and these two-star sects had the ability to send long-distance messages to one another.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. Four Void God Realm Kings, including a Peak-tier King, will be enough for me to recover some injuries,¡± the Emperor of Death laughed and started to circulate the power of his Little World of Death toward the Kings.


    The bulky male in blue flames started to become skinnier as his lifeforce and True Yuan were sucked away.


    The expressions of the three Kings that just arrived changed dramatically, and they charged at the Emperor of Death without hesitation. They only had the courage to fight the Emperor of Death because he was injured and his Little World was broken.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, you shouldn¡¯t kill so many people and create so many enemies. My older brother is Emperor Yu; I believe you¡¯ve heard of him¡­.¡± the female in the dress was extremely charming.


    However, the Emperor of Death snickered coldly, ¡°Fake righteousness. If you were in the same situation as me, you cultivators of the Righteous Path would be even more savage than me.¡±


    The Emperor of Death wasn¡¯t dumb; he didn¡¯t go around killing everyone he saw in his spare time. On the contrary, he knew the aforementioned principle very well ¨C the first time he was killed was because he had made enemies out of too many Emperors, and several peak Emperors teamed up to defeat him.


    However, desperate times called for desperate measures, and the Emperor of Death needed to use the fastest method to recover. Only with such a method would he have any hope of turning the tide and obtaining victory.


    Boom! Boom! Bam~~~~!


    The three Kings clashed against the Emperor of Death. The Emperor of Death remained nonchalant; he was easily suppressing the three even while using the Tentacles of Death to absorb the lifeforce and essence of the Origin Core Realms and the other King.


    The Emperor of Death didn¡¯t use all his strength because he didn¡¯t want to accidentally kill these Kings.


    ¡°The Emperor of Death is severely injured and can still suppress us so easily!?¡±


    The expressions of the three were solemn, and they were stunned. What kind of battle had the Emperor of Death been through for him to resort to this method to recover his strength?


    Right at this moment, the male in blue flames finally turned into a pile of white bones from the Tentacles of Death.


    ¡°It¡¯s your turn,¡± the Emperor of Death licked his lips. Using the Tentacles of Death on Void God Realm Kings was much more effective.


    The hearts of the three Kings went cold, and they had thoughts of retreating.


    ¡°Endless Death!¡±


    The Emperor of Death laughed gruesomely as an abyss appeared in his Eyes of Death and covered the three Kings.


    ¡°Argh!¡±


    The three Kings screamed as they entered an ocean of Death.


    ¡°We¡¯ve fallen into the illusion of the Eye of Death!¡± the female exclaimed, but no matter how they struggled, they were unable to escape the erosion of the power of Death.


    ¡°Tentacles of Death!¡±


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s figure appeared above the three and wrapped them in tentacles. At the same time, the three Kings started to struggle in the physical dimension. The female was barely able to awaken, but the Emperor of Death put his hand down on her shoulder and froze her thoughts.


    ¡°¡­so this is the strength of a peak Emperor?¡± the face of the female was pale-white and filled with bitterness. Even though the Emperor of Death was injured and his Little World was broken, he wasn¡¯t someone that they were able to handle.


    Right as the three Kings were about to be slain:


    Whoosh~~~~!


    An arc of lightning flew in from the limitless ocean and closed in on this direction. A maelstrom of flames and lightning started to emerge into Heaven and Earth.


    ¡°So fast!¡± the Emperor of Death exclaimed as his hand on the female stiffened, and shock appeared on the female¡¯s face as she saw signs of hope. It seemed that the Emperor of Death was being chased by someone even more terrifying, which was why he was running around and slaughtering others to regain his strength.


    Shu~~!


    A piercing sound resounded through the air, and the face of the female went white. Her soul shook, and the space nearby seemed to be restricted by a certain power. It was as if she couldn¡¯t dodge no matter what she did.


    Shua!


    The female felt blood splatter everywhere as a scarlet-golden arrow pierced into the Emperor of Death¡¯s body. A dark mysterious carving glowed on the surface of the arrow and radiated an undying and immortal aura.


    Siiii!


    The Emperor of Death groaned as pain surged in his soul.


    Weng~~


    The golden crown on his head released a brilliant golden light alongside a Soul undulation.


    ¡°That arrow contained a soul attack!¡± the female felt her soul go cold, and she felt as if ten thousand crackles of lightning had sounded.


    Under that attack, the Emperor of Death was slightly injured as he faced the burning sensation of the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning as well as the God Tribulation Lightning.


    The female used this chance to escape the Emperor of Death¡¯s grasp. The other two Kings weren¡¯t as strong as the female, so they were still held down by the Tentacles of Death.


    ¡°Senior, save us~~~!¡± the female flew toward the magnificent aura closing in. A male with scarlet-golden wings and purple hair holding a bow appeared. His left eye was purple and seemed to flash with lightning, and it was full of cold killing intent.


    ¡°It was him that forced the Emperor of Death to this situation¡­?¡± the female was in disbelief. The aura of life from this newcomer was extremely young, but the power radiating from it wasn¡¯t weaker than the Emperor of Death. There was a powerful confidence to it, and even more importantly, he was unharmed, which made it clear that he was the pursuer.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, you¡¯re actually using such methods to recover your injuries? No matter what you do, you won¡¯t be able to heal from damage caused by God Tribulation Lightning, even if you die.¡±


    Zhao Feng was shocked, and his expression went cold as he inspected with his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. If it were damage caused by a normal Emperor, the Emperor of Death might be able to recover from most of it, but the power of God Tribulation Lightning couldn¡¯t be healed so easily.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­. Zhao Feng, although I haven¡¯t fully recovered from my injuries yet, my energy has. Just the two of you alone aren¡¯t my match,¡± the Emperor of Death laughed out loud.


    He realized that Zhao Feng¡¯s Yuan Qi hadn¡¯t fully recovered yet. In order to chase the Emperor of Death and not give him any time to rest, Zhao Feng¡¯s Yuan Qi would be slightly depleted.

 750 Pursuit of Death 13

    Zhao Feng¡¯s Yuan Qi was indeed slightly depleted and not at its peak, but that was on purpose. He wanted to follow the Emperor of Death closely and not give the latter any time to recover.


    Seeing that the Tentacles of Death were still wrapped around the other two Kings, Zhao Feng said no more and immediately started attacking.


    ¡°Gaze¡­ of¡­ the¡­ God¡­ Eye!¡±


    A surge of purple-colored eye-bloodline power appeared from Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye and formed a world of purple that pulled in the souls of others.


    ¡°You actually¡­!¡± the expression of the Emperor of Death changed dramatically as the crown on his head released a profound undulation.


    The Void God Realm Kings in front of the Emperor of Death, as well as the other experts of the two-star sect, felt their souls go cold, and they were unable to breathe. It was as if their souls were being pulled away, and the closer they were to the Emperor of Death, the more obvious this effect was.


    He¡¯s merged the Dao of Illusions into the foundation of the Gaze of Death! the Emperor of Death¡¯s heart shook.


    The Gaze of Death sucked one¡¯s soul away with overwhelming strength. Under normal situations, pure soul-strength determined the victor, but there could be other factors such as Intent, mastery, various tricks, and whatnot.


    Zhao Feng used the Dao of Illusions. He specialized in the Dao of Illusions ¨C the first Dao he ever learned was the Dao of Illusions, which came from the Illusion Fish Picture in the Broken Moon Clan.


    After the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, Zhao Feng¡¯s understanding of the Dao of Illusions had entered an entirely new level. According to what Liu Qinxin in the wall said, the highest level of illusion was reality.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng¡¯s Gaze of the God Eye wasn¡¯t just a simple soul-sucking force anymore. He fused in the Dao of Illusions and made it stronger.


    ¡°I was the one that created this technique, and you¡¯re using it against me¡­!?¡± the Emperor of Death was enraged, but he still needed to gather his Intent and use a Soul Dao technique in order to block the Gaze of the God Eye.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Gaze of the God Eye had a momentum of surpassing the original technique. This was because Zhao Feng used the technique through the Ninth God¡¯s Eye, which was much stronger than the Eye of Death. The only thing he lacked was cultivation.


    ¡°Run!¡± the other two Void God Realm Kings used this chance to escape the Tentacles of Death.


    ¡°Hehe,¡± Zhao Feng then stopped the Gaze of the God Eye. His true aim was just to stop the Emperor of Death from using the Tentacles of Death to recover his injuries.


    ¡°Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms!¡± the child Demigod glowed with a golden radiance as his Sacred Body crushed through the air. He also sent mystic golden palms through Heaven and Earth that limited the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Scarlet Golden Eye Flame!¡±


    The instant the Emperor of Death was restricted, Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye started to burn with a scarlet-golden color.


    Whoosh!


    A half-transparent scarlet-golden flame landed on the Emperor of Death and burned throughout both the physical and mental energy dimensions.


    This Scarlet-Gold Wind Lightning Eye Flame contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning, and all three hundred wisps of God Tribulation Lightning in his purple Soul Sea glowed.


    ¡°Arghh¡­!¡± the Emperor of Death howled as the fire started to burn across his body and soul.


    The scarlet-golden eye flame contained the power of Destruction as well as God Tribulation Lightning, both of which countered his Immortal Death Body.


    His soul was the part that was most affected. Zhao Feng¡¯s Sky Locking Bow attacks and the Scarlet Golden Eye Flame were both soul-based.


    ¡°The Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning is technically the highest level of the Wind Lightning Inheritance,¡± Zhao Feng murmured.


    He had now mastered over 60% of the Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning. When the power of God Tribulation Lightning was merged into it as well, the scarlet-golden Wind Lightning was enough to severely injure most Emperors.


    ¡°Mental Energy Spike!¡±


    While the Emperor of Death revealed a flaw, a transparent purple crystalline Mental Energy Spike pierced into his soul.


    Weng~~


    The crown on the Emperor of Death¡¯s head bloomed open like a lotus, but it couldn¡¯t really fight back against the power of God Tribulation Lightning, especially when it was combined with the Intent of Destruction. The crown was even damaged, and the Emperor of Death¡¯s soul was slightly injured, adding to his injuries from before.


    ¡°Damage to the soul is even harder to recover from,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s smile was poisonous.


    Although his Yuan Qi was slightly depleted, his main focus was Soul Dao attacks, and the recovery speed of a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline made Zhao Feng unafraid of long battles.


    ¡°Dark Eye Death Flames!¡±


    The eyes of the Emperor of Death formed a forbidden black light that twisted the air and thundered toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s heart went cold as he felt the danger of death. The Emperor of Death rarely used direct soul attacks against Zhao Feng, but now he did.


    Weng~


    A layer of delicate ice-blue scales condensed around Zhao Feng¡¯s body as a suit of ice armor appeared as well, covering everything within a hundred miles in his Mystic Ice Domain.


    Boom!


    Smoke appeared from Zhao Feng¡¯s body as the Dark Eye Death Flames landed on him. At the same time, black flames burned in Zhao Feng¡¯s purple Soul Sea.


    Boom~~~~!


    Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye shook as the three hundred wisps of God Tribulation Lightning radiated a power that could threaten Gods and Demons alike.


    Boo~~~


    Waves started to appear in the lake in the very center of his Soul Sea as lightning and wind interacted in the sky.


    ¡°Emperor of Death¡­ it¡¯s no use. The difference in our soul-strength isn¡¯t very big,¡± a faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng¡¯s face.


    His God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely resilient against Soul attacks, including those from the Eye of Death. However, this had one prerequisite ¨C the difference in soul-strength between Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death couldn¡¯t be too big.


    Zhao Feng had an Emperor-level soul, which had also been cleansed by the God Tribulation Lightning and the God¡¯s Spiritual Eye. Although there was a difference in cultivation between the two, the difference in soul-strength wasn¡¯t big.


    ¡°As I thought,¡± the Emperor of Death wasn¡¯t hopeful in the first place, but his expression became grim. He had to admit that he finally met someone who countered him perfectly. He relied on the Eye of Death the most, but it was suppressed by the Ninth God¡¯s Eye, and his Immortal Death Body was countered by the God Tribulation Lightning.


    ¡°Scarlet Golden Eye Flame! Mental Energy Spike!¡±


    Zhao Feng attacked from afar.


    The child Demigod was between Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death, and he used his Heaven Sealing Eighteen Palms to restrict the Emperor of Death.


    Boom! Boom~~~~!


    Under the frenzied attacks from Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, the Emperor of Death¡¯s face became white once more.


    In terms of understanding and mastery of the soul, the Emperor of Death had the advantage, but Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was a true God Eye, and its potential only got stronger as the battle continued. More importantly, Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely resilient against soul attacks.


    In addition, Zhao Feng had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and the Ice Imperial Spear, so he was about on par with the Emperor of Death in terms of physical defense, but his recovery speed was faster.


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s expression started to change as he finally understood why Zhao Feng dared to chase after him without fully recovering his Yuan Qi.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s actual strength is about the same as mine. The only difference between us is cultivation, the Emperor of Death took a deep breath and had to acknowledge reality. Under the Pursuit of Death, Zhao Feng had grown stronger extremely quickly.


    ¡°Scythe of Death!¡±


    A black scythe started to form in the Emperor of Death¡¯s hand.


    ¡°Death Forcefield!¡±


    A thick black layer of darkness appeared around him as he charged toward Zhao Feng and the child Demigod with his scythe.


    The expressions of the child Demigod and Zhao Feng changed dramatically. The combination of the Scythe of Death and the Death Forcefield was extremely strong and could be considered perfect. Any attack against the Emperor of Death would be absorbed by the Death Forcefield and then added to the Scythe of Death.


    ¡°Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning!¡±


    A one-hundred-yard-long scarlet-golden spear started to condense in Zhao Feng¡¯s hand, and it radiated a terrifying aura of Destruction and God Tribulation Lightning.


    Ding! Ding! Bam~~


    The scarlet-golden spear and the Scythe of Death clashed in the air. Zhao Feng and the child Demigod were forced back.


    Restricting Yuan Palm!


    The child Demigod used another technique and sent gray-golden beams of light toward the Emperor of Death, limiting the flow of Yuan Qi.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The battle caused the nearby mountains around the two-star sect to shatter, and the shockwave from their fight made the expressions of the three Kings change dramatically.


    ¡°Who is that purple-haired man!? He¡¯s chasing the Emperor of Death!¡±


    The female in the dress and the other two Kings pulled away from the fight.


    The Emperor of Death and the purple-colored-hair male both used shocking eye-bloodlines and Soul techniques. Even in a physical fight, they were elites amongst Emperors.


    ¡°Death Instant Shadow!¡±


    The Emperor of Death suddenly turned into a dark beam of light and sped away from the island.


    ¡°So fast!¡± the three Kings exclaimed.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!¡±


    The wings behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back released a brilliant glow of light as he turned into an arc of lightning and followed behind. It was obvious that his speed was faster than the Emperor of Death.


    The three Kings were like wooden chickens. When they finally reacted, they all let out a long breath.


    ¡°I think that purple-haired youth is called Zhao Feng¡­.¡±


    ¡°Only a handful of experts are able to chase after the Emperor of Death. Looks like another expert has appeared in the Cang Ocean.¡±


    One had to know that the strength of these three Kings were all at least comparable to the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess of the Tianlu Islands.


    ¡°Scarlet Golden Eye Flame! Sky Locking Bow!¡±


    Zhao Feng kept on attacking as he chased from behind.


    Over the limitless ocean. This ¡°Pursuit of Death¡± spanned over several island zones and caused Heaven and Earth to shake wherever they fought. It was a disaster.


    At the beginning, the Emperor of Death still had the ability to fight back, but after several months, he could only focus on defense. Slowly but steadily, news of this pursuit started to spread, and the legend of the Left-Eyed Heavenly Emperor was known across the Cang Ocean.

 751 Pursuit of Death 14

    Half a year later, in a Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    Whoosh!


    A dark beam of light entered, and a male with a missing right arm and scorch marks appeared on the street. The male wore a golden crown that was full of cracks, but the aura of Death emitting from him made those nearby uneasy. It was hard to imagine that this male was one of the oldest Emperors of the Cang Ocean.


    ¡°Emperor Zi Mu!¡± the Emperor of Death murmured in a tone that no one else could hear.


    A few breaths later:


    Weng~~


    The Imperial Power of an Emperor appeared from one of the corners of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    ¡°Emperor of Death?¡± a surprised voice sounded as a middle-aged male in purple robes appeared. He was covered in a purple glow and gave off a weird smell.


    ¡°Emperor Zi Mu!¡± exclamations of nearby experts sounded as respect and admiration appeared in their eyes.


    It was extremely rare to see Emperors outside the Sacred Lands. However, this Spiritual Palace was in a rather large island zone that contained eight or so two-star sects, so this Spiritual Palace had an Emperor in charge.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, how did you become like this?¡±


    Emperor Zi Mu was shocked. He had been in seclusion for the past year or two and didn¡¯t know much about the outside world.


    ¡°Emperor Zi Mu, you owe me a favor from several thousand years ago, and now I need your help¡­.¡± the Emperor of Death said in a deep tone and summarized what had happened, but he didn¡¯t mention that Zhao Feng had the Ninth God¡¯s Eye.


    ¡°The pursuer cultivates the Dao of Lightning, and since you¡¯re an Emperor that cultivates the Dao of Wood, you counter him,¡± the Emperor of Death said in a solemn tone.


    There were natural counters to all skills. For example, the Emperor of Death was countered by Zhao Feng, but likewise, Zhao Feng¡¯s Scarlet-Gold Destruction Wind Lightning could also be countered. Those that cultivated the Dao of Wood could counter those that cultivated the Dao of Lightning.


    ¡°Who could chase you into such a state? Could it be a Sacred Lord?¡± Emperor Zi Mu was in disbelief.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s not a Sacred Lord. He¡¯s just a middle-stage Void God Realm King, but his technique and bloodline are unique,¡± the Emperor of Death summarized Zhao Feng¡¯s situation.


    Right as the two were communicating:


    Whoosh~~~!


    An arc of lightning with a Destructive aura of flames and lightning charged into the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. The newcomer was a purple-haired male with scarlet-golden wings.


    ¡°Such speed!¡± Emperor Zi Mu was surprised even though he already knew that Zhao Feng had the Wind Lightning Emperor¡¯s inheritance.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, do you think that I¡¯d be scared to attack you if you¡¯re hiding in a Void Ocean Spiritual Palace?¡±


    Zhao Feng¡¯s wings fluttered as he looked down from above. In the past half a year, he had given the Emperor of Death a good beating. The Emperor of Death¡¯s Immortal Death Body and soul had both been injured by the God Tribulation Lightning, and he had lost 30-40% of his battle-strength.


    ¡°The future generation is to be feared,¡± Emperor Zi Mu inspected Zhao Feng, and the latter¡¯s scarlet-golden Wind Lightning made him uneasy.


    Zhao Feng obviously saw Emperor Zi Mu as well. Emperor Zi Mu was like Duanmu Qing ¨C Emperors that cultivated the Dao of Wood ¨C but Emperor Zi Mu¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t at the peak level of the Void God Realm yet.


    ¡°Emperor Zi Mu, if you help me today, I will repay you ten times as much in the future,¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s voice contained begging.


    There were still two Peak-tier Kings and four Domain-level Kings in this Void Ocean Spiritual Palace apart from Emperor Zi Mu. As long Emperor Zi Mu helped, the Emperor of Death still had a good chance.


    ¡°Left-Eyed Heavenly Emperor¡­! That purple-haired youth¡­.¡± a Void God Realm King and several Origin Core Realms within the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace recognized Zhao Feng¡¯s identity. As the Pursuit of Death had passed through many island zones, Zhao Feng¡¯s fame started to spread, and some experts knew of him.


    Left-Eyed Heavenly Emperor!? Emperor Zi Mu¡¯s eyes started to twinkle as he started to struggle. At this moment, a King within the Spiritual Palace was telling him what had happened between Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, I¡¯m very sorry. I can¡¯t help you. Apparently, since you attacked a Void Ocean Spiritual Palace before, you are now wanted by the Floating Dream Sacred Land,¡± Emperor Zi Mu took a deep breath before finally speaking.


    What!? the Emperor of Death¡¯s body swayed.


    ¡°Due to our relationship in the past, I won¡¯t attack you, but the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace can¡¯t shelter you either,¡± Emperor Zi Mu¡¯s expression was strict, and a purple-green Little World appeared and slowly pressured toward the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°You¡­!¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. Emperor Zi Mu¡¯s Little World was purposely crushing toward him and not attacking Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng floated in the air and looked at all this coldly. It seemed as if the Emperor of Death didn¡¯t want to leave the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace; instead, he wanted to drag Emperor Zu Mi and the experts here down along with him.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, you won¡¯t be able to escape today.¡±


    A scarlet-golden flame appeared in Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye.


    Voom!


    An aura started to brew in the sky that made Emperor Zi Mu and the Kings unable to breathe.


    ¡°No~~~~!¡± the Emperor of Death felt a critical sense of danger as nearly eight hundred wisps of God Tribulation Lightning symbols radiated an undying aura.


    Whoosh!


    A half-transparent scarlet-golden flame landed on the Emperor of Death, as if it was a God¡¯s punishment.


    ¡°Arghhh~~!¡± the Emperor of Death howled as the flames started to spread across the Immortal Death Body and burn into his soul. Fear filled his face as he looked at this nightmare with uneasiness.


    In just a breath or two, the Emperor of Death¡¯s limbs were burnt to a degree where one couldn¡¯t even tell that he was human anymore, and his other arm fell off.


    Siii!


    Emperor Zi Mu couldn¡¯t help but take in a deep breath. The purple-haired male in the sky had his hands behind his back and still seemed rather nonchalant.


    Within the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, the other Kings and Origin Core Realms felt their bones go cold, and they didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly.


    ¡°He¡¯s too strong!¡±


    ¡°So, this is the Left-Eyed Heavenly Emperor! The Emperor of Death didn¡¯t even have a chance to fight back at all!¡±


    The Void God Realm Kings were stunned.


    ¡°Emperor of Death, now that I¡¯ve merged the power of God Tribulation Lightning into my techniques, my strength is enough to threaten even Sacred Lords. Peak Emperors won¡¯t be able to last more than ten breaths against me,¡± Zhao Feng said in an orderly-mannered fashion.


    Even though Zhao Feng had chased the Emperor of Death for half a year, he hadn¡¯t stopped fusing with the power of the God Tribulation Lightning, and he now had eight hundred wisps of God Tribulation Lightning ¨C more than a hundred times the amount he first had at the Pirate Sacred Land. On top of that he had unparalleled speed. He was an unrivalled Void God Realm.


    In the history of the Dao of Lightning, one prodigy had used the power of God Tribulation Lightning and slowly reached the peak of the world. This legend came from a prodigy on the continent zone, and they eventually became a God. This miracle seemed like it was going to replicated by Zhao Feng.


    ¡°God Tribulation Lightning!¡± The heart of Emperor Zi Mu shook.


    He chose not to help the Emperor of Death after thinking it through thoroughly. Firstly, the Emperor of Death was wanted by the Sacred Land anyway, and secondly, how strong would the person chasing after the Emperor of Death be? Such a person wasn¡¯t someone a normal Emperor could offend, especially after knowing that the person was a rising prodigy.


    The second reason was the most important. Therefore, Emperor Zi Mu didn¡¯t want to help the Emperor of Death, and it seemed like this was a wise decision.


    Although Zhao Feng never greeted Emperor Zi Mu after entering the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace or even looked at him directly, which made him slightly unhappy, when Zhao Feng revealed his strength, Emperor Zi Mu¡¯s scalp tingled and he started to sweat.


    Zhao Feng had basically ignored Emperor Zi Mu¡¯s existence, but he had the capability to do so. He or any other peak Emperor wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything.


    So close¡­. Emperor Zi Mu didn¡¯t think that his Wood Dao techniques would be able to stop God Tribulation Lightning, and Emperor Zi Mu didn¡¯t have the Emperor of Death¡¯s defenses.


    ¡°Zhao Feng¡­. I¡¯ve lost,¡± the Emperor of Death lay on the ground and spoke in the bitter tone, ¡°I¡¯ll do as you please.¡±


    Do as you please ¨C how much humiliation was contained in these four words? The hearts of Emperor Zi Mu and company shook.


    ¡°Do as I please? What if I want your life? You won¡¯t fight back?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s gaze seemed to contain the ability to see through one¡¯s heart. He could tell that the Emperor of Death was filled with hatred and humiliation; if he let the Emperor of Death live, he definitely wouldn¡¯t just leave peacefully. Furthermore, the Emperor of Death¡¯s home was in the Ten Thousand Woods Sacred Land; who knew whether he would go home and contact some Emperors or Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords to deal with Zhao Feng?


    ¡°Zhao Feng, treat others kindly.¡± Deadliness appeared on the Emperor of Death¡¯s face, which contained signs of a threat.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s eyes remained cold and calm. His thoughts of killing the Emperor of Death had never wavered, but he needed to deal with the final counterattack before the Emperor of Death¡¯s death. After all, he was an ancient Emperor and he had the Eye of Death.


    ¡°Then¡­ let¡¯s die together!¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s face twisted as his power of Death condensed and exploded.


    ¡°Not good! Watch out~~~!¡± Emperor Zi Mu exclaimed and opened his Little World in order to block this explosion that could destroy the entire Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. The self-destruction of an Emperor was devastating.


    Boom~~~~!


    The entire Spiritual Palace shook as flames of Death covered it. Emperor Zi Mu¡¯s Little World instantly shattered, and it only managed to block 60% of the Emperor of Death¡¯s self-destruction.


    ¡°Hmm?¡± Emperor Zi Mu found that the power of the self-destruction was 30-40% weaker than he expected.


    The Void Ocean Spiritual Palace had turned into ruins, and over half of the experts died.


    ¡°Petty tricks!¡±


    A youth with scarlet-golden wings appeared over the limitless ocean. Zhao Feng had used extreme speed in order to escape from the self-destruction. At the same time, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye locked on to a black dot far away. Looking closely, it was a tattered Yuan Soul that was releasing Death undulations, and a pair of Eyes of Death was also floating in the air.


    ¡°Sky Locking Bow ¨C Soul Lock!¡±


    Zhao Feng pulled back the dark silver bow, and a gold-and-silver arrow shot through the air.


    Whoosh!


    The Yuan Soul that had only escaped several hundred miles struggled in the air.

 752 Words of Death

    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is,¡± Emperor Zi Mu looked at Zhao Feng¡¯s actions and the Yuan Soul stuck in the middle of the air. No wonder the Emperor of Death¡¯s self-destruction wasn¡¯t as powerful as he thought it would be.


    The Void God Realm represented a change in the soul, and Emperors had reached a peak.


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s strongest foundation was his soul, but he was unlucky that he had met Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng¡¯s eye-bloodline was also Soul-based, and he had the Sky Locking Bow.


    Even after locking on to the Emperor of Death¡¯s Yuan Soul, Zhao Feng didn¡¯t underestimate him.


    ¡°Master,¡± the child Demigod suddenly appeared, and Zhao Feng looked at him in puzzlement. What kind of suggestion did this guy have?


    ¡°The Emperor of Death¡¯s Eyes of Death can be inherited. Can Master steal his eye-bloodline for me?¡± the child Demigod was extremely moved. He cultivated body-strengthening techniques, and his soul was his weakness. However, if the child Demigod was able to obtain the soul-based Eyes of Death and combine it with his Golden Kun Sacred Body, it would be perfect.


    ¡°Eyes of Death?¡± Zhao Feng felt his eye-bloodline twitch in excitement.


    In the air, the Yuan Soul that was unable to move had a pair of pitch-black eyes, which existed between the physical dimension and soul dimension. It was similar to when Zhao Feng¡¯s God¡¯s Eye left his body.


    Instinct told him that the Eyes of Death would be helpful to him.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat also appeared and waved its paws as if trying to tell Zhao Feng something.


    ¡°This cat¡­!¡± the child Demigod gnashed his teeth. The little thieving cat was telling Zhao Feng to not give the Eyes of Death to the child Demigod.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat¡¯s suggestion was to immediately kill the Emperor of Death.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if I die, you will too,¡± the Yuan Soul that was unable to move started to burn as it summoned the power of Death.


    Not good!


    The expressions of Zhao Feng and company who were closing in changed dramatically as they felt a critical sense of danger. One had to know that the Emperor of Death¡¯s soul was unrivalled amongst Emperors, and in terms of understanding of the soul, he even surpassed some Sacred Lords.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat quickly reacted and hid into Zhao Feng¡¯s metal ring, but the child Demigod had been thinking about how to obtain the Eyes of Death and was caught off guard.


    Boom~~~~~~


    All of Heaven and Earth fell into darkness as a power similar to the Death Forcefield covered the area. The difference was that this power was aimed more at the soul.


    ¡°Arghh!¡± the child Demigod screamed as his soul aura went out like a candle being extinguished, and he fell from the air into the limitless ocean.


    Zhao Feng¡¯s Soul Sea started to shake as he faced the explosion of an Emperor¡¯s soul. This force was able to severely injure the souls of even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords. Zhao Feng groaned in pain; although his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye was extremely resilient against soul attacks, it was relative. If a soul attack was too strong, his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye wouldn¡¯t be able to block it.


    ¡°Little thieving cat! Child Demigod¡­!¡± Zhao Feng exclaimed. The little thieving cat reacted quickly and managed to escape into the ancient metal ring, which was another dimension. As for the child Demigod, Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t feel his aura anymore.


    Whoosh!


    A pair of black eyes turned into a blurry streak and instantly flew ten thousand miles away.


    ¡°Eyes of Death and Death Intent!¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s expression became grim. He didn¡¯t expect that the Emperor of Death had a technique similar to shedding his shell. Over 95% of the Emperor of Death¡¯s soul-strength was destroyed in the explosion just now, but his core Death Intent and memories were hidden within the Eyes of Death.


    Whoosh!


    The Eyes of Death flew extremely quickly, and they existed between the physical and soul dimensions. They were much faster than Zhao Feng¡¯s Lightning Wings Spatial Flash because the speed of Yuan Souls was usually ten times greater than normal flying, and in his current state, the Emperor of Death¡¯s speed was five times faster than even that.


    ¡°Let¡¯s see how long you can last,¡± Zhao Feng decided that he couldn¡¯t let the Emperor of Death off so easily, but killing him straight away would be too kind.


    ¡°Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!¡±


    Wings formed behind Zhao Feng¡¯s back and allowed him to flash ten thousand miles away in one go. He wasn¡¯t worried that the Emperor of Death would be able to escape because over 95% of the Emperor of Death¡¯s soul power had already been destroyed, so he couldn¡¯t maintain flight for very long.


    ¡°The Emperor of Death only has one method of survival,¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s heart was clear. After his physical form was destroyed and he lost most of his soul power, the only way the Emperor of Death could survive was to steal someone¡¯s body.


    In reality, the Emperor of Death had done such a thing twice before, so he was pretty experienced, but this time around, the difficulty would be extremely high.


    Even the self-destruction of my soul didn¡¯t damage Zhao Feng much. His eye-bloodline specializes in tracking, and he¡¯s also extremely fast, the Emperor of Death cried bitterly in his heart.


    Even if it was a Sacred Lord, the Emperor of Death would have been able to escape by now with two shell-shedding explosions. The Shadow of the Death God and two self-explosions would be extremely troublesome even for normal Sacred Lords, but unfortunately, his advantage in the soul was perfectly countered by Zhao Feng.


    An hour later, the Eyes of Death managed to pull away from Zhao Feng, but most of his Intent had been used up.


    He headed toward a populated island.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be able to rise once more after stealing another body.¡±


    The Emperor of Death saw hope of new life. Once he stole a body, he wouldn¡¯t need to worry about talent or anything else because of his Eye of Death.


    A while later, within some country¡¯s palace, a dark beam of light flashed by. Anyone that hadn¡¯t reached the Origin Core Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to sense anything.


    ¡°Good, I stole the body of a prince this time,¡± the Emperor of Death was slightly happy.


    The strength of this country was on par with the Canopy Great Country, and it wouldn¡¯t be easily found. If he had chosen a one-star or two-star force, it would be risky, but the identity of a prince wasn¡¯t too bad. Once he entered a one-star or two-star force in the future, there would be countless resources.


    Without using any effort at all, the Emperor of Death successfully managed to steal the body of a prince, or more accurately, an illegitimate child.


    ¡°Zhe zhe, even if you¡¯re trash, I will make you rise and defy the heavens.¡±


    The Emperor of Death started to merge with the memories of this body. At the same time, he circulated a secret technique to conceal his aura. To make sure everything would be perfect, the Emperor of Death boarded a carriage, exited the palace, and entered a quiet forest.


    Suddenly, the Emperor of Death¡¯s body froze.


    In the forest sat a purple-haired youth and a little cat who were both roasting the meat of a wild boar. The crispy boar meat released an enticing smell that made the Emperor of Death¡¯s hungry body instinctively gulp down his saliva.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, be nice to others¡­.¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s breathing rate quickened, and his eyes were full of deadliness and despair. He only just stole a body; apart from the fact that he had strong Intent, he probably wouldn¡¯t even be a match for a True Spirit Realm.


    Zhao Feng remained expressionless as he took a bite of the meat, then started to inspect the Emperor of Death and his new body.


    Once a Void God Realm stole another body, everything became simple. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye opened and covered the Emperor of Death¡¯s soul and body in a freezing coldness.


    He was very interested in the Emperor of Death¡¯s techniques and his Eye of Death.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, if I die, you will too because I set down the Cursed Words of Death a very long time ago,¡± the Emperor of Death¡¯s face was poisonous as he started to threaten Zhao Feng. He didn¡¯t have any hope at all against Zhao Feng, so if he had to die, he wouldn¡¯t make Zhao Feng feel good either.


    ¡°Cursed Words of Death?¡± Zhao Feng¡¯s eyebrows locked together. He had inspected the Dark Eye Secret Manual before, so he knew a bit about the Cursed Words of Death.


    The Cursed Words of Death was the most terrifying type of curse, and it required a life to activate.


    ¡°The origin of the Cursed Words of Death is a forbidden and extinct species of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races ¨C the Ancient Shaman Race. The ranking of this race is even higher than the Heaven¡¯s Legacy Race ¨C it¡¯s only below that of the Ancient Race.¡±


    The Emperor of Death¡¯s face became cold and Zhao Feng¡¯s expression changed slightly, but the killing intent in his eyes didn¡¯t waver. Not only was he going to kill the Emperor of Death, he was going to torture him and steal his Eye of Death and his memories.


    ¡°Hahaha¡­!¡± the Emperor of Death started to laugh in despair as he circulated his Intent and soul. His opponent was cold and calm ¨C even the Cursed Words of Death was unable to frighten him away.


    Not good!


    Zhao Feng wanted to stop him, but it was too late. He didn¡¯t expect the Emperor of Death to immediately commit suicide.


    ¡°Using the price of death, I shall leave behind a nightmare of endless withering and weakening onto my foe¡­!¡± a voice seemed to resound across Heaven and Earth.


    At this moment in time, the Emperor of Death had truly died. Along with his death was also his consciousness and his Eye of Death.


    The stronger the owner of the Eye of Death, the more powerful the Cursed Words of Death would be. In theory, the power of the Cursed Words of Death was effective against experts within two large realms. This was also why normal Sacred Lords didn¡¯t want to offend the Emperor of Death, who had such ancient and forbidden techniques.


    Plop!


    The stolen body of the Emperor of Death fell to the ground.


    Sii!


    Zhao Feng groaned as he felt a cold and indescribable power seep into his soul. The feeling was itchy and painful, and it went straight into his heart.


    When Zhao Feng opened his God¡¯s Spiritual Eye, he saw that there were wisps of black light in his body that started to erode even his soul. It was hard to describe the origin of these black lights or how they existed. The power was similar to the power of the curse of a ghost-corpse, but countless times more profound.


    ¡°Cursed Words of Death¡­. Such a forbidden technique actually exists¡­?¡±


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. The moment he was hit by this technique, he felt as if insects had swarmed all over him. At this instant, Zhao Feng felt his soul, lifeforce, True Yuan, and cultivation slowly start to wither.


    Luckily, his Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline and God¡¯s Spiritual Eye were somewhat resistant against the Cursed Words of Death. The weakening speed of normal Kings would be ten times or even a dozen times faster than Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng sat down for half a day, but he could do nothing about the Cursed Words of Death. He couldn¡¯t figure out how the power of the curse even existed, and he was unable to affect it.


    I don¡¯t understand the Cursed Words of Death at all. I¡¯ll go back to the Azure Flower Continent first. Maybe the Sage can tell me something, Zhao Feng thought.

 753 Returning to the Azure Flower Continen

    In the depths of the limitless ocean:


    Gulugulu!


    A thin stream of bubbles and the sound of choking appeared. Several breaths later, a pale-faced four-year-old child appeared above the ocean.


    "I''m¡­ not dead? Hmm? The Dark Heart Seed has disappeared. Could it be from the self-destruction of the Emperor of Death''s soul?" the child stood in the air and murmured to himself.


    Under the self-destruction of the Emperor of Death, the child Demigod''s soul had almost been completely destroyed in an instant, and he fell into the ocean. Even he thought that he had died. The Dark Heart Seed had disappeared as well.


    At this moment in time, the child Demigod managed to barely survive, but his aura was extremely weak.


    "It''s all thanks to the Golden Kun Sacred Body. Part of my consciousness is ingrained into my body," the child Demigod murmured.


    When one reached the later stages of the Golden Kun Sacred Body, the soul and body would become one; as long as the body wasn''t destroyed, the soul wouldn''t be either.


    At this moment, a ship was passing by.


    "Grandfather, what''s that?" a young girl looked at the child with a pale face.


    "Hahahaha¡­!" the child floated in the air, and his smile was extremely deadly and evil.


    "I, the Demigod Kun Yun, will rise again once more!"


    In a small corner of the world, the Demigod Kun Yun had escaped his chains and was now free once more. Without any restrictions or limitations, what kind of change would the Demigod Kun Yun bring to the world?


    Whoosh!


    The child Demigod disappeared from where he originally stood. The next instant, cries and screams came from the ship.


    "From today onward, I am the captain of this ship. Anyone that disobeys me shall be killed."


    The child Demigod''s great physical strength dominated the ship. The strongest cultivator within the ship had only reached the peak Sovereign Lord rank, and he was just a measly ant in the child Demigod''s eyes.


    After taking control of the ship, the child Demigod ordered the ship to head in a certain direction with its fastest speed.


    The child Demigod knew that he wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match. The strength that Zhao Feng displayed in that very last instant was able to threaten even those at the Mystic Light Realm.


    The child Demigod decided that he would take on a new identity and recover his cultivation to the Mystic Light Realm first before doing anything else, otherwise it''d be bad for him if he met Zhao Feng.


    When the child Demigod thought about the master that had enslaved him, he was full of fear and hatred, but he didn''t dare to have any thoughts of retaliation or revenge in the short term. Right now, the most important thing was to protect himself.


    Whoosh!


    The ship left the range of Emperor Zi Mu''s Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. No one realized that there was an extra child on the ship.


    The child Demigod was smart; he didn''t fly, just in case his aura was left behind. Instead, he used a ship to escape. Over the last half a year during the pursuit of the Emperor of Death, he learned Zhao Feng''s tracking tactics extremely well, so he knew what to do.


    Half a day later, a purple-haired youth flew into this area.


    "This should be the place where the Emperor of Death self-destructed," Zhao Feng murmured. On his shoulder sat a silver-gray cat.


    Zhao Feng opened his God''s Spiritual Eye and inspected the area around him, placing emphasis on the ocean.


    A while later, Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly ¨C he didn''t find the child Demigod''s corpse. He remembered very clearly that the child Demigod''s soul had crumbled under the Emperor of Death''s self-destruction.


    Zhao Feng''s thoughts started to spin. If it was the scenario he was thinking of, then the child Demigod''s luck was far too good. In comparison, Zhao Feng was far unluckier; he was hit by the Cursed Words of Death.


    The Cursed Words of Death was extremely unique. It didn''t matter whether Zhao Feng was the one who killed the Emperor of Death or whether it was suicide because the curse had already been set up before his death.


    The person who the Emperor of Death hated the most would be hit by the Cursed Words of Death, no matter how far they were. It couldn''t be avoided. Therefore, Zhao Feng could do nothing to stop it. The only thing he could''ve done was not kill him in the first place, but if Zhao Feng was given the option again, he would still kill the Emperor of Death.


    How humiliating was it to be chased for seven years? Furthermore, if the Emperor of Death didn''t die, he would forever be a source of danger. He might contact other Emperors within the Ten Thousand Woods Sacred Land or even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords in order to obtain the Ninth God''s Eye. Therefore, Zhao Feng didn''t regret his decision.


    The child Demigod''s disappearance was an accident, but Zhao Feng was too lazy to care about what kind of influence the Demigod Kun Yun might bring to the Cang Ocean.


    "Dammit¡­ the more I use my True Yuan, the stronger the withering becomes."


    The itchy and painful feeling was always present within Zhao Feng''s body. He had even tried to seal his body in ice, but that did nothing.


    The Cursed Words of Death came from the number two race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races ¨C the Ancient Shaman Race. This race was extremely mysterious, and it excelled in the soul. In the ancient era, shamans and curses were feared by all.


    The stronger the person using the Cursed Words of Death, the more powerful it would be. The Emperor of Death was an Emperor, and he even had the Eye of Death to activate the Cursed Words of Death. Even Demigods wouldn''t be able to evade it.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng spread his wings and headed toward the nearby Void Ocean Spiritual Palace.


    "Left-Eyed Heavenly Emperor!"


    Emperor Zi Mu was looking after the wounded in the shambles left behind. Zhao Feng''s arrival made Emperor Zi Mu and many others go cold.


    "Can the Zone Teleportation Array still be used?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "The Zone Teleportation Array has strong protective arrays around it, so it''s still usable," Emperor Zi Mu said respectfully.


    Zhao Feng started to talk with Emperor Zi Mu. After learning that the Emperor of Death had been killed, Emperor Zi Mu was shocked, then he let out a long breath. If the Emperor of Death didn''t die, he would definitely "remember" Emperor Zi Mu.


    "Don''t worry, Brother Zhao. I''ll help you deal with the issues of using the Zone Teleportation Arrays, including the one within the Floating Dream Sacred Land," Emperor Zi Mu was extremely warm. He would obviously try his best to form a good relationship with Zhao Feng, who had limitless potential and strength.


    He didn''t pay too much attention to Zhao Feng''s weakness. After all, the Emperor of Death was one of the oldest Emperors in the Cang Ocean, so killing him would obviously cost a heavy price.


    Emperor Zi Mu was one of those who swayed very easily. He gave Zhao Feng many presents, and he even supplied the Primal Crystal Stones needed to use the Zone Teleportation Array.


    Half a month later, with the help of Emperor Zi Mu, Zhao Feng arrived at the Floating Dream Sacred Land. Several two-star sects and even the three-star force invited Zhao Feng to join them, but they were all declined by Zhao Feng. He then used the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array and headed toward the True Martial Sacred Land.


    In order to form a good relationship with Zhao Feng, Emperor Zi Mu once again paid for the usage of the array, and Zhao Feng needed these Primal Crystal Stones anyway, so he agreed. Emperor Zi Mu was secretly overjoyed; taking these Primal Crystal Stones meant that Zhao Feng owed him half a favor.


    Before he left, Emperor Zi Mu asked where Zhao Feng came from. Zhao Feng replied that he came from the Mystic True Sacred Clan, and he didn''t say anything about the Azure Flower Continent.


    There were countless islands in the three spiritual zones, and Zhao Feng never mentioned anything about the Azure Flower Continent. Even the Emperor of Death and the child Demigod didn''t know where he came from. The reason Zhao Feng did this was because he didn''t want to bring trouble to his home continent.


    "If I have time, I''ll go to the Mystic True Sacred Clan and ask Brother Zhao for pointers," Emperor Zi Mu respectfully sent Zhao Feng away, but he didn''t expect that Zhao Feng had no plans to stay behind at the Mystic True Sacred Clan at all.


    After returning to the True Martial Sacred Land, Zhao Feng was able to use the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array since he was a King. However, he didn''t immediately return to the Azure Green Islands Zone or the nearby Tianlu Islands Zone.


    He first went to the Eternally Sealed Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. The whole reason he was able to enter the True Martial Sacred Land and see Duanmu Qing was because he had the help of the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord.


    Zhao Feng saw the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord extremely soon.


    "The future is to be feared. In just a short couple years, you have become a King," the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord sighed, but Zhao Feng couldn''t tell him about the bitterness in his heart. The Cursed Words of Death was probably the strongest curse in the Cang Ocean.


    Over the past couple days, Zhao Feng had concealed his aura and didn''t use his soul-strength or his True Yuan in order to avoid increasing the rate of the withering. The Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline and the God''s Spiritual Eye instinctively tried to block the curse as well, otherwise Zhao Feng would''ve turned into a withered elder already, and his cultivation would have dropped to the Origin Core Realm.


    Zhao Feng only stayed at the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace for a couple days. In order to thank the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord, Zhao Feng gave him several treasures, such as the Immortal Springs Wine, Purple Scaled Grass, and various items taken from other Kings. The most precious one amongst them was a fruit from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng could tell that the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord''s cultivation was limitlessly close to the Void God Realm, and these treasures could help him create a solid foundation to break through to become a King.


    After staying for a couple days, Zhao Feng left. A month later, on the Azure Flower Continent within the Azure Green islands:


    Whoosh!


    An arc of lightning flew down like a meteor and formed a crater where he landed.


    "Where is this?"


    Although Zhao Feng was born in the Azure Flower Continent, he hadn''t actually been to many places.


    Zhao Feng first inspected the aura of his soul and body. Unknowingly, his cultivation had fallen to the early stages of the Void God Realm.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng flew into the sky and looked down from above as he matched the landscape with the map in his mind.


    "The Western Continent, Thousand Desert Great Country," Zhao Feng soon confirmed his location.


    "Skeletal Division Leader!" Zhao Feng said, and a dark mist started to appear next to him. A completely silver-and-white skeleton with a pair of red flaming eyes appeared from the mist.


    After being changed by the bloodline in the Heaven''s Legacy City, the skeletal Division Leader''s shape had changed dramatically.


    "Master, we''re on the Azure Flower Continent?" the skeletal Division Leader was extremely excited as he felt the familiar aura.

 754 Reappearance of the Overwhelming Prodigy

    "Skeletal Division Leader, when I arrived at the Azure Flower Continent, I felt that the forces of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion are starting to reawaken," Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled. Even if he didn''t purposely spread his Divine Sense, he could feel the change in aura of the Azure Flower Continent due to his Void God Realm cultivation.


    Whoosh!


    A transparent scarlet token appeared in the skeletal Division Leader''s hand, and it extended its senses into the token.


    "Master, in just the Western Continent alone, I feel many experts of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion''s upper echelon."


    The skeletal Division Leader was surprised. It admired Zhao Feng from the bottom of its heart. If it had to choose between the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion or Zhao Feng, the skeletal Division Leader would definitely choose Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was silent for a moment before speaking, "I''ll leave the task of ''collecting'' the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion to you."


    "Understood, Master."


    The skeletal Division Leader was full of excitement and surprise as it bowed. It was obvious that Zhao Feng wanted it to take control of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and turn their forces into its own. Instead of killing everyone, it was better to make them subordinates.


    In reality, the reason Zhao Feng came back was just to find the Sage to answer his questions. As for the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, it was just "on the way," so he gave it to the skeletal Division Leader. Besides, Zhao Feng didn''t want to attack as much as possible since it would increase the rate of his withering.


    Over the past few days, Zhao Feng learned a bit about the characteristics of the Cursed Words of Death. What weakened wasn''t only his cultivation; his body, soul, and even his lifespan were decreasing.


    Of course, there were still things that the Cursed Words of Death couldn''t erode.


    The first was the God''s Spiritual Eye. Although the strength of his eye-bloodline power was weakening, the God''s Spiritual Eye itself was just being blocked by the Cursed Words of Death, including the whirlpool in the dimension of his left eye that was connected to the Ancient Dream Realm.


    The second thing was the God Tribulation Lightning. The Cursed Words of Death was unable to erode the area where the God Tribulation Lightning was stored.


    It could be said that these two places were forbidden zones in Zhao Feng''s body. Apart from them, even Zhao Feng''s Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline wasn''t able to avoid the withering. At best, it only had stronger resistance.


    If it wasn''t for this, I could''ve found a quiet place to re-cultivate with the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body already, Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    Shua! Shua!


    The perfected version of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique appeared in his mind.


    Zhao Feng had almost completely finished cultivating the Wind Lightning Inheritance. The limit of the original Wind Lightning Inheritance was at the level of an Emperor. There was a slight chance to break through to the Mystic Light Realm, but after that, it would definitely be the end. On the other hand, the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had been created by fusing several ancient skills that could be cultivated to the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    Skills that were able to be cultivated to the Heavenly Divine Realm were already extremely rare, and these two were a pair that complemented each other ¨C the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was used to train the Sacred Lightning Body.


    However, the problem was that Zhao Feng had already cultivated the Wind Lightning Inheritance, which was very different from the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. In order to cultivate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, Zhao Feng needed to restart his cultivation from the beginning.


    According to his original plan, after finally dealing with the Pursuit of Death, Zhao Feng would immediately find somewhere quiet and restart his cultivation. After all, the Wind Lightning Inheritance had reached its limit, and the other two skills had far more potential.


    At most, Zhao Feng would only need ten years to recover his strength, but he never expected that the Emperor of Death would use the skill Cursed Words of Death. Once the user activated it, they would die, but the target would be unable to avoid it and they would die as well.


    Right now, Zhao Feng was worried that the Cursed Words of Death would accompany him even if he started to re-cultivate.


    "Master, I sense that the upper echelon of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion is doing something big in the northeastern direction," the skeletal Division Leader''s voice broke Zhao Feng''s train of thought.


    "Let''s go," Zhao Feng didn''t hesitate at all. He wanted to head to the Northern Continent anyway.


    The skeletal Division Leader led the way at the front as they flew toward the northeastern direction.


    A while later, the two arrived at their destination. Below them, a huge battle was ongoing in the middle of a mine.


    "Zhe zhe, cunning rabbits and helpers of the Sacred Alliance, you have finally fallen into the net of the great Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion."


    Three upper echelon members of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion were floating in mid-air. The one in the middle was an elder with a pair of bat wings behind his back, and he had a very smug expression on his face. On his left and right were a Sovereign in black robes and a female with a pale face respectively. They looked down from above and unleashed a barrage of attacks as several hundred elites of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion surrounded a one-hundred-mile radius.


    "It''s one of the four Protectors of the religion ¨C the Bat King," the skeletal Division Leader revealed a weird expression. It also knew the male Sovereign in black ¨C he was another Division Leader. The skeletal Division Leader didn''t know the female; she might be new.


    On the other side, a giant middle-aged male at the half-step Origin Core Realm and a Sovereign wielding a sword were in a difficult battle. The Sovereign with the sword had extremely strong attacks, and his battle-power was close to the peak Small Origin Core Realm, but he was the only Sovereign on their side.


    Mystic Sword Sovereign, Zhao Feng immediately recognized this Sovereign''s identity.


    He had a strong impression of the Mystic Sword Sovereign. It was the Mystic Sword Sovereign that had taken away the Seven Sword Incomplete Manual, and he was one of the nine Sovereigns at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering.


    "Mystic Sword Sovereign, it is my, Shi Yuntian''s, fault. Even if I die, I will fight a path for you to escape."


    A layer of stone skin condensed around the giant middle-aged male. Although he was only at the half-step Origin Core Realm, his bloodline and physical body were extremely strong, so he could block basic attacks.


    Zhao Feng somehow felt that this male looked familiar.


    "Father, if you die, then we''ll die together!" a large youth in the crowd made the elites of the Demonic Religion cough out blood,


    "Indeed worthy of being one of the Overwhelming Prodigies of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering."


    "Everyone, watch out for his gravity field!"


    Several True Lord Ranks of the Demonic Religion were attacking the large youth.


    Shi Chengtian! Zhao Feng''s eyes landed on the youth.


    Shi Yuntian? Shi Chengtian? Zhao Feng instantly understood; the middle-aged male was Shi Chengtian''s father.


    Shi Chengtian''s cultivation had reached the peak True Lord Rank, and his battle-power was comparable to the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    "There''s no use. They have three Sovereigns, and one of them is one of the four great Protectors of the Demonic Religion ¨C the Bat King," the Mystic Sword Sovereign smiled bitterly.


    Not only had the Bat King reached the peak Small Origin Core Realm, his bloodline was also extremely unique, and he was famous for his speed. No one present would be able to escape from the Bat King.


    Even now, the Bat King was just floating in the sky without attacking. Just two Sovereigns and a group of elites from the Demonic Religion were already suppressing the Mystic Sword Sovereign and those from the Shi Family.


    "Hmm? Which upper echelon member of the Sacred Religion is here?" the Bat King suddenly sensed something and turned his gaze toward the clouds.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two figures floated down from the clouds. It was a silver-white skeleton and an expressionless purple-haired youth.


    "Division Leader Yougu!"


    "Hmm? Division Leader Yougu, haven''t you been missing for the last couple years?"


    The Bat King and the black-robed Sovereign recognized the skeletal Division Leader''s identity even though it looked slightly different.


    "Another Sovereign from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion has arrived," the hearts of the Mystic Sword Sovereign and the Shi family experts shook.


    "Zhao¡­ Zhao Feng!" Shi Chengtian who was fighting saw Zhao Feng from the corner of his eyes and almost fell over. Zhao Feng was standing right next to an upper echelon member of the Demonic Religion and seemed to be extremely familiar with it.


    "Zhao Feng¡­ you joined the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion!?" Shi Chengtian roared.


    "Zhao Feng¡­!" the Mystic Sword Sovereign exclaimed. Of course he remembered the bright star of the Sacred Alliance. In his mind, Zhao Feng was still the Deputy Patriarch of the Iron Blood Religion, but no news of him had been heard over the past few years. Why would such a prodigy join the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion?


    "Zhao Feng? The overwhelming prodigy from the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering?"


    "Zhe zhe, Division Leader Yougu, you actually managed to get a genius with limitless potential to join us?"


    Those from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had weird expressions.


    At this moment, the battle paused. The descent of another Sovereign from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion instantly tipped the balance and made the Mystic Sword Sovereign and the Shi family fall into despair. Furthermore, an overwhelming prodigy joining the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion shocked them as well.


    "Bat King," the skeletal Division Leader''s voice was cold, "I''ve come this time under orders from Master to take control of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion." After saying this, it bowed and raised its hand toward the purple-haired youth next to him.


    "What ''Master''!?"


    "Take control of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion? Division Leader Yougu, have you eaten the wrong medicine!?"


    The Bat King and company were stunned, and they roared in anger.


    The Mystic Sword Sovereign, Shi Chengtian, and company were all puzzled and dazed. What¡­ was going on? Could the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion be having internal problems? Were they about to start fighting amongst themselves? Of course, they were happy to see this, and they had time to breathe.


    "Hmph," the skeletal Division Leader snickered coldly as its bones released an overwhelming power.


    Zhiii~~~~


    The Bat King and the other two upper echelons felt a massive pressure on their bones and blood, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.


    Wah!


    The Bat King at the very front spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Plop! Plop!


    The other two Sovereigns felt their bones break, and they fell to the ground.


    "Division Leader Yougu, you¡­!" the Bat King''s face was pure red, and he felt unable to breathe as he looked at the skeletal Division Leader in shock.


    Both friend and foe alike were dead-silent. One could hear a pin drop. This sudden change confused everybody, and they didn''t know what to do.


    An indescribable force started to radiate from the skeletal Division Leader, and both friend and foe alike felt extremely pressured. Anyone below the Origin Core Realm wasn''t even able to breathe.


    "Sovereign¡­ Sovereign Lord!!" the Bat King was stunned as he was forced onto the ground by the pressure.


    "The number of Sovereign Lords in the entire Azure Flower Continent doesn''t exceed five people," the Mystic Sword Sovereign took in a cold breath, and instinct told him that the skeletal Division Leader wasn''t just a simple Sovereign Lord rank. The Mystic Sword Sovereign had seen Sovereign Lords before, but the pressure he felt from them was nowhere near as strong as what he felt from the skeletal Division Leader.


    "Master, what should I do with these people?" after using unrivalled strength to suppress everyone present, the skeletal Division Leader respectfully asked Zhao Feng.

 755 Returning to the Great Country

    "Master?"


    Looking at the skeletal Division Leader''s respectful expression, the Bat King, the Mystic Sword Sovereign, and company were all stunned. Only now did they realize that this expressionless and quiet youth was "Master."


    "Zhao¡­ Zhao Feng!" the Mystic Sword Sovereign, Shi Chengtian, and company were speechless. From the beginning, Zhao Feng only stood next to the skeletal Division Leader without saying anything, so he had been ignored. Only now did everyone''s gaze lock on to this overwhelming prodigy.


    "Skeletal Division Leader," Zhao Feng said in a slightly unhappy tone, "I''ve already given you the task of taking control of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. Are you going to ask me about every little tiny thing?"


    "Yes, yes, yes¡­." the skeletal Division Leader couldn''t help but hiccup coldly and curse itself for being dumb. After all the waves Zhao Feng had been through, the Azure Flower Continent and the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion were nothing in comparison. It had already sensed that Zhao Feng wasn''t very interested in the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, which is why it was currently in charge. Being a slave that was under orders from Master, it should do some things to the best of its ability.


    "Little tiny thing?" the faces of the Mystic Sword Sovereign and company twitched, and the Bat King and company looked at each other in shock. It was as if the fight for the continent was just child''s play in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    The Sovereigns present couldn''t see through Zhao Feng, and he even seemed to be "sick" at the moment.


    "Zhe zhe zhe¡­. Bat King and the rest of you. All of you only have two choices ¨C either bow down to me or die!" the skeletal Division Leader laughed coldly and shifted its expression. It had been taking orders from Zhao Feng for a long time, and it was finally returning to what it used to be like.


    "You¡­ are betraying the Patriarch!" the female with a pale face gritted her teeth and said.


    "Die!" a deadly red light flashed through the skeletal Division Leader''s eyes.


    Boom!


    A large dark silver skeletal hand smashed down from the sky and crushed the female into a meat paste. The female didn''t even have time to scream.


    Sii!


    The experts from both sides all took in a cold breath.


    "He''s way too strong!"


    "Division Leader Yougu is probably at least at the peak Great Origin Core Realm. Apart from the Patriarch, no one else would be able to handle him¡­."


    The Bat King and the Sovereign in black were stunned. If the skeletal Division Leader''s strength was already so monstrous, then how strong was the master, Zhao Feng? After thinking about it, the two decided to bow for now, and most of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion elites did so too.


    However, a small number of elites tried to escape.


    Boom! Boom!


    Before these elites managed to run even half a mile, an Intent descended from the sky and destroyed their souls.


    "Void God Intent!"


    "It''s at least half-step King Intent. Only the Patriarch has such a thing!"


    The faces of the Bat King and company were white. They were originally planning to escape, but after seeing the skeletal Division Leader''s true power, they couldn''t help but feel lucky.


    In just a short while, the skeletal Division Leader had taken control over this group of cultivators from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, including the two Sovereigns.


    Origin Core Realm experts were extremely rare in the Azure Flower Continent; those at the True Lord Rank were already people that could rule an entire area.


    As for Sovereign Lords at the Great Origin Core Realm, the total amount didn''t exceed the number of fingers on one hand. Everyone was limited by the Azure Flower Continent''s environment; Sovereign Lords were rare even in the nearby two-star forces.


    The skeletal Division Leader''s cultivation had managed to barely squeeze into the half-step King rank.


    "Zhao Feng," Shi Chengtian led his father Shi Yuntian and greeted Zhao Feng, and they expressed their gratitude. If Zhao Feng wasn''t here, the Shi family probably would''ve become extinct.


    The Mystic Sword Sovereign and the other experts of the Sacred Alliance had complex expressions that contained wariness. Zhao Feng''s goal was to take control over the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. If he really succeeded, who knew whether he''d become the second Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch or what kind of disaster would befall the continent.


    "Zhao Feng, right now, the entire continent is attacking the forces of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. Aren''t you scared that they''ll run out of your control? Why not team up with the Sacred Alliance and destroy the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion completely?" the Mystic Sword Sovereign suggested.


    "My slave is now in control of everything regarding the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion. I''m not interested in any of it," Zhao Feng said, and the Mystic Sword Sovereign sighed.


    This was the first time he had seen Zhao Feng since the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, and he couldn''t see through him at all.


    Zhao Feng then learned about the situation of the Azure Flower Continent from the Mystic Sword Sovereign and Shi Chengtian.


    The forces of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion were reviving and spreading. Although the Sacred Alliance and the Ten Great Clans had a big advantage, they had basically lost control of the situation.


    "How are the forces of the Demonic Religion recovering so fast?" Zhao Feng cut straight to the point. When the Demonic Religion was defeated several hundred years ago, only a tiny bit of their forces remained.


    "The Moon Demon Palace is supporting them, and the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch controls the entrance to the Scarlet Moon Inheritance to a certain degree, so he is able to send some people in every couple years¡­." the Mystic Sword Sovereign sighed.


    Moon Demon Palace?


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows locked together. He had interacted with them in the Purple Saint Ruins before, but Emperor Duanmu had punished them and made them give up on the Purple Saint Ruins.


    "Looks like I''ll need to head to the Moon Demon Palace sometime," Zhao Feng murmured.


    Hearing that, the eyes of the Mystic Sword Sovereign bulged out. It sounded like Zhao Feng was implying that he had already interacted with them before and was just going to head over and settle the trouble.


    Moon Demon Palace! That was a two-star sect! Two-star sects were existences that the Ten Great Clans could only look up to.


    Of course, if the Mystic Sword Sovereign knew that Zhao Feng had once plundered an entire two-star battlefield, he wouldn''t be so worried. Even the Emperor of Death, who Zhao Feng had chased after and killed, could easily destroy normal two-star sects.


    Zhao Feng then talked with Shi Chengtian a bit.


    Shi Chengtian admired Zhao Feng from the bottom of his heart.


    Zhao Feng mainly asked about the other overwhelming prodigies, with an emphasis on Yu Tianhao. Over seven years had passed since he and Yu Tianhao made their ten-year deal. It had been more than eight years since the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, and he hadn''t seen Yu Tianhao for quite some time.


    "I don''t think that Yu Tianhao has come back since then," Shi Chengtian shook his head and said.


    "Yu Tianhao?" on the other hand, the Mystic Sword Sovereign knew a bit. "Apparently, it''s like this: the origin of the Yu family comes from the legendary continent zone, but with the passage of time, all the branches of their family have spread across the limitless ocean¡­." the Mystic Sword Sovereign said.


    Continent zone? Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be somewhat surprised.


    Apparently, after the fight seven years ago, Yu Tianhao left the Azure Flower Continent and entered one of the Yu branch families nearby. The strength of this Yu branch family was close to a two-star sect.


    "I heard Yu Xingchen say that Yu Tianhao''s bloodline and talent are unrivalled. He might be sent to the main Yu family in the continent zone," the Mystic Sword Saint said, and Zhao Feng understood.


    The Yu family should be similar to the Duanmu family ¨C forces of the Dynasty. The whole reason Duanmu Qing took Zhao Yufei to the continent zone was to try to revive the Duanmu family.


    "Continent zone? Looks like my battle with Yu Tianhao might be pushed back a bit," Zhao Feng murmured.


    The original deal was that they would fight "after ten years." This meant that it could be ten years, but it could also be fifteen or even twenty.


    Zhao Feng agreed to Zhao Yufei and Duanmu Qing that he would go to the continent zone after solving the issue with Liu Qinxin.


    Zhao Feng didn''t stay very long in the Western Continent.


    "Skeletal Division Leader, I''ll leave the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion to you," Zhao Feng gave the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl to the skeletal Division Leader and left. There were a hundred cursed ghost-corpses within the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl, including several at the Sovereign Lord Rank.


    "Don''t worry, Master. It''s just a measly Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion," the skeletal Division Leader was full of excitement as it took the Ten Thousand Ghost Pearl. With the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array, it would be able to defeat anyone even if a King arrived.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The skeletal Division Leader waved its hand, and ten cursed ghost-corpses appeared. Each of their auras was comparable to the peak Small Origin Core Realm, and they had the power of the curse as well, which could threaten Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords.


    Seeing ten ghost-corpses at the peak Small Origin Core Realm appear, the Bat King, the Mystic Sword Sovereign, and company couldn''t help but hiccup coldly. With such strength, the Bat King and company didn''t doubt that the Skeleton Division leader had the ability to rule the continent.


    Whoosh!


    An arc of lightning flashed across the sky as Zhao Feng headed toward the Northern Continent alone. As for taking over the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, Zhao Feng had truly given all control to the skeletal Division Leader.


    In just four hours, Zhao Feng flew from the Western Continent to the Northern Continent, and this was still under the fact that he was limiting the amount of True Yuan he was using.


    Within the Northern Continent, in the Canopy Great Country, an arc of lightning flashed by.


    Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense scanned through the Canopy Great Country and the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion. There were some familiar faces within the main headquarters, and there were some new ones as well. He also found some forces of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, but he was too lazy to bother with them.


    His goal was the Six Warlock Tower in the great country proper, but he paused slightly when he reached the Thousand Water River area.


    This was his previous position. There were many powerful auras gathered in a mountain, and although they were trying to conceal themselves, Zhao Feng still managed to sense them.


    "I heard that the forces of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion are spreading excessively around the Thousand Water River. Apparently, an upper echelon member has come and is planning something¡­."


    "We''ve found out where their stronghold is, and we can catch them off guard."


    Many of the top experts of the Canopy Great Country were here. The weakest person was at the True Human Rank.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense found Patriarch Hong and the blood-colored-hair Tiemo. Their auras were the strongest among those present.


    "Empress Qin¡­ Flooding Lake City Lord¡­ Tian Yunzhi¡­ Jiang Sanfeng¡­" Zhao Feng saw many familiar faces.


    Over half of the experts came from the Iron Blood Religion. Patriarch Hong and Tiemo, the two leaders of the Iron Blood Religion, led the forces of the Great Country.


    Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense then scanned toward the stronghold of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion several thousand miles away, and his expression changed.


    Thinking up to here, he flashed into the mountain. The arrays nearby did nothing to him.


    At the same time, the Iron Blood Religion''s plan was complete. Within a stone room they had just created:


    "The stronghold doesn''t seem to be that simple. We should¡­"


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo were planning something in the candlelight. At this exact point in time, a figure appeared between them.


    "Who is it!" Patriarch Hong and Tiemo exclaimed and almost jumped up in fright.

 756 Experts from Outside

    "Who''s there!"


    Cold sweat instantly appeared on Patriarch Hong and Tiemo. Who in the Azure Flower Continent could appear between the two of them without them knowing?


    Under the candlelight, a purple-haired youth who seemed to be slightly sick appeared between the two.


    "Zhao¡­ Zhao Feng!" Patriarch Hong and Tiemo acted as if they had seen a ghost.


    Seven years later, the once-upon-a-time overwhelming prodigy had appeared so suddenly in front of the two, as if he had been faking his death.


    "Patriarch Hong, Deputy Patriarch, I hope the both of you have been well," Zhao Feng blinked his eyes and smiled. He had to admit that he purposely wanted to scare the two.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve come just in time. We''re lacking top-tier experts."


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo were overjoyed. They didn''t doubt Zhao Feng''s strength; just the fact that he could appear next to them without them knowing meant that Zhao Feng was at least at the Origin Core Realm.


    "Indeed, you''ve met some trouble. I was planning to go to the Six Warlock Tower, but I saw you guys and the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion forces on the way," Zhao Feng told them.


    Although he had given the task of taking over the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion to the skeletal Division Leader, at the end of the day, he was the Iron Blood Religion''s Deputy Patriarch and wouldn''t do nothing if he knew about it.


    "You''ve also realized that this stronghold is different?" Tiemo asked in surprise.


    "There seems to be two or three auras at the Origin Core Realm there," Zhao Feng was slightly uncertain. When he flew past, he didn''t search in-depth, he only felt a general sense.


    "Origin Core Realms¡­. Three of them?" Patriarch Hong and Tiemo looked at each other and couldn''t help but take in a cold breath.


    Origin Core Realms ruled supreme in the Azure Flower Continent. The entire Canopy Great Country only had Patriarch Hong for an Origin Core realm.


    The Deputy Patriarch Tiemo was only at the half-step Origin Core Realm, but his battle-power was somewhat close to an Origin Core Realm.


    After knowing this news, the expressions of Patriarch Hong and Tiemo became solemn.


    Retreat and ask for reinforcements, both of them thought. The opponents had three Sovereigns; such a force had exceeded the limits of what they could handle.


    "We need to ask the Sacred Alliance or the Ten Great Clans for help as soon as possible," Patriarch Hong said, but Tiemo looked at Zhao Feng. He realized that when Zhao Feng mentioned three Sovereigns, he was nonchalant about it. Tiemo had witnessed Zhao Feng''s rise, and instinct told him that Zhao Feng''s strength was immeasurable and definitely not simple.


    "There''s no need for reinforcements. Since I''m here already, I might as well bring peace to the great country," Zhao Feng shook his head and said.


    "Might as well?" Patriarch Hong and Tiemo couldn''t help but look at Zhao Feng and think, What big words. His tone was very casual.


    "Zhao Feng, it''s not that I''m suspecting your strength, but you seem to be sick. Can you really handle a multiple Sovereigns?" Patriarch Hong asked solemnly. Three Sovereigns wasn''t a joke; if it went bad, the Iron Blood Religion''s name would be removed from the continent.


    "Zhao Feng, does this mean you have the battle-power of a Sovereign Lord?" Tiemo''s eyes lit up. He understood Zhao Feng, and he knew that the latter wasn''t arrogant.


    "Sick? Yes, I''m indeed ill. As for those at the Sovereign Lord rank, I''ve slain many in the outside world. They shouldn''t be much trouble," Zhao Feng shrugged his shoulders somewhat helplessly.


    Killed Sovereign Lords before? the eyes of Patriarch Hong and Tiemo bulged out. If it was someone else, they would''ve thought he was lying.


    "Okay, Zhao Feng, we believe you," Patriarch Hong and Tiemo decided and started to plan when to attack, what tactics to use, and various other things.


    "I''m kind of low on time since I need to get to the Six Warlock Tower. Let''s just attack right now," Zhao Feng suggested.


    "Right now?" the faces of Patriarch Hong and Tiemo twitched.


    It was broad daylight right now. According to their initial plan, the Iron Blood Religion was going to attack at night and catch the stronghold off guard.


    "Right now," Zhao Feng''s tone was very decisive before pausing for a moment, "I can go by myself if you guys don''t want to come."


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo looked at each other speechlessly. Zhao Feng seemed to be in a hurry.


    "Fine," the two were helpless and immediately gathered the experts once more to discuss. However, this time, there was a new major figure here.


    "Zhao¡­ Zhao Feng!"


    "One of the three major figureheads of the Iron Blood Religion ¨C Deputy Patriarch Zhao!"


    "He''s the overwhelming prodigy who''s famed across the Azure Flower Continent."


    Chaos broke out in the discussion hall.


    "Deputy Patriarch Zhao!"


    Some people had happy expressions, such as Jiang Sanfeng and company, but a small number of people had ugly expressions, such as Empress Qin and the Head of the Liu family.


    "Feng''er!" the body of the Flooding Lake City Lord Liu Jiutian shook. He had received news that Zhao Feng rejected the offer to join a two-star sect and entered the limitless ocean in order to find Liu Qinxin. In the blink of an eye, more than seven years had passed. During that period of time, there was no news of him at all. A True Lord Rank genius entering the limitless ocean would obviously face a lot of danger.


    "City Lord Liu," Zhao Feng went up to the Flooding Lake City Lord and talked to him in-person.


    Seeing that the Flooding Lake City Lord had something on his mind but didn''t say it, Zhao Feng instantly knew what he wanted to ask.


    "I found traces of Qinxin''s whereabouts. After we finish off this stronghold, I''ll accompany City Lord Liu to the Six Warlock Tower," Zhao Feng explained.


    "Okay!" the Flooding Lake City Lord was extremely surprised. He didn''t expect that Zhao Feng would actually find the whereabouts of Liu Qinxin.


    The main point of discussion was attacking the Scarlet Moon stronghold, and after knowing that they were going to attack immediately, chaos broke out.


    It wasn''t hard to imagine that this was because Zhao Feng had arrived. Zhao Feng''s every action and movement caught attention. None of the experts from the great country were able to see through him. It was obvious that Zhao Feng very likely had a cultivation of the Origin Core Realm, or at least the battle-power of a Sovereign, otherwise the Iron Blood Religion wouldn''t be so confident in attacking the stronghold.


    Since no one knew that the Scarlet Moon stronghold had three Origin Core Realms, they soon agreed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The experts in the mountain flew into the air while others sat on their flying spiritual pets. Four hours later, the group from the great country arrived at a complex area with a lot of water.


    In a concealed waterfall nearby:


    "Hmph, a measly Sovereign dares to attack our stronghold!?" a skinny elder with blood-colored hair and robes stood with his hands behind his back and looked toward the sky.


    "Zhe zhe, they definitely wouldn''t expect Elder Xue Li and two other Origin Core Realm experts from the outside world to be here personally to reinforce us. This means we don''t have to lure them in," a fatty in golden robes at the half-step Origin Core Realm said respectfully.


    In just a short while, bloodthirsty auras from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion appeared in front of the waterfall. Apart from that, there were also a mysterious elder with a blood-colored moon on his robes and a stunning girl in a faint red dress.


    The girl''s beauty was peerless, and her snow-white legs and shoulders were revealed. Her every smile seemed to contain magic. There was a dark moon symbol on her forehead, and her purple hair blew in the wind, as if she was an elf.


    The males of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion couldn''t help but swallow their saliva as they looked at the girl, but there was more respect in their eyes than lust. Even Elder Xue Li''s tone toward these two was very respectful.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sound of flying appeared right at this moment. The experts from the Canopy Great Country led by the Iron Blood Religion had arrived near the waterfall.


    "Surround them!"


    "Kill all the spawn from the Demonic Religion!"


    The elites from the Canopy Great Country had the advantage in numbers and instantly surrounded the place.


    Mockery appeared on Elder Xue Li''s face, and playfulness appeared on the faces of both the mysterious elder and charming girl. Who was the real hunter and hunted here?


    "Hahahahaha¡­ Patriarch Hong, you rushed into the net yourself. The Iron Blood Religion shall be removed from this continent!" Elder Xue Li laughed as his hair blew wildly in the wind, and the aura of a late-stage Small Origin Core Realm turned the sky red.


    "It''s Elder Xue Li! He''s extremely bloodthirsty," the upper echelon of those from the Canopy Great Country changed dramatically. Elders were definitely part of the upper echelon of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    "Hehe, after we destroy these elites from the Canopy Great Country, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion will be able to truly stabilize their footing in the Northern Continent," a mysterious elder with a blood moon on his robes suddenly appeared in the clouds and gently raised his hand, forming a large blood moon that released a wave of moonlight and covered everything within twenty miles. It was as if Heaven and Earth had been switched; both friend and foe alike were under a new sky.


    "This kind of strength¡­ could it be a Sovereign Lord!?" Patriarch Hong and Tiemo both felt uneasy. They and the True Spirit Realm elites all felt their True Yuan become restricted.


    "What''s going on? My True Yuan''s become stronger!"


    On the other hand, those from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion became much stronger.


    "Hehe, the game''s just begun," the mysterious elder had an arrogant expression on his face.


    Right at this moment, Elder Xue Li, who had been strengthened by the moonlight, roared and charged at Patriarch Hong.


    Boom!


    In the first blow alone, Patriarch Hong was pushed back.


    Elder Xue Li was an expert cultivating the Demonic Dao, and his battle-power became stronger in the moonlight.


    The hearts of those from the Canopy Great Country went cold, and everyone watched out only for themselves. Empress Qin and company instinctively turned around and tried to escape.


    "None of you will be able to leave," the mysterious girl in faint red blocked their paths.


    "Origin Core Realm!"


    "Such a young Origin Core Realm!"


    Empress Qin and company felt the pressure from a Sovereign and felt cold.


    The group from the Great Country were filled with despair; they didn''t expect this stronghold to have three Sovereigns, one of whom might even be a Sovereign Lord.


    "Zhao Feng!" Tiemo exclaimed as the situation became dangerous.


    However, the gaze of the purple-haired youth locked on to the peerless beauty and said in a faint tone, "Zhuang Wan''er."

 757 Identity of a King

    "Zhuang Wan''er."


    The peerless beauty was a Core disciple from the Moon Demon Palace that had once been in the Purple Saint Ruins, and she was on par with Ye Yanyu of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect. After so many years, she had broken through to the Origin Core Realm, and currently, she was following an Elder from the sect to reinforce the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    "Hmm?" hearing someone call her name, Zhuang Wan''er paused for a moment before looking toward a casual purple-haired youth in the group.


    Zhao Feng''s appearance and aura had changed quite a lot after so long, and he seemed to be slightly sick.


    "It''s¡­ it''s you!" fear and panic appeared on Zhuang Wan''er''s face.


    The fear on her face seemed to come instinctively due to some memories in her mind. Back then in the Purple Saint Ruins, Zhao Feng had comprehended the Void Space Eye Slash and was like a God of Slaughter. Lu Tianyi, Elder Shui Yun, Grandmaster Yin Kong, and many other experts were killed in that nightmare.


    And now, that nightmare was right in front of her as the purple-haired youth smiled at her.


    Zhao Feng¡­ why is he here!? Zhuang Wan''er''s face went white as fear overtook her. At this moment, she only had one thought remaining: Run!


    If Zhao Feng could slaughter them in the Purple Saint Ruins so badly seven years ago, she didn''t dare to guess what kind of improvements Zhao Feng had made since then.


    "Elder Wu, retreat~~~~!" Zhuang Wan''er quickly said as she flew into the air toward the mysterious elder with the blood moon on his robes.


    "Hmm? What''s wrong?" the elder was extremely puzzled. He had never seen Zhuang Wan''er act like this before.


    This scene raised the attention of Elder Xue Li and company. A Sovereign prodigy was scared by just two words?


    "Hehe, you want to run away?" Zhao Feng mocked as he stepped forward and instantly blocked the elder and Zhuang Wan''er. He was planning to head to the Moon Demon Palace later anyway; he didn''t expect to meet them so soon.


    "Who are you?" the elder had a solemn expression. Every action and movement from the youth in front of him brought a strong pressure. He had only felt such a thing from the Grand Elders of the Moon Demon Palace before.


    Pa!


    Zhao Feng slowly reached out his hand and pressed down on Zhuang Wan''er''s shoulder. Just the aura of his bloodline and body sealed her True Yuan.


    "You¡­!" Zhuang Wan''er''s face went red and white as she trembled. She didn''t even have any ability to fight back. The youth in her sight perfectly synchronized with her nightmares.


    "Stop!" the elder roared as his Sovereign Lord rank aura changed the environment.


    Those fighting below all felt an indescribable sensation and found it difficult to breathe.


    "Sovereign Lord?" Patriarch Hong and Elder Xue Li both stopped their fight as well.


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo were overjoyed. Just the appearance of Zhao Feng scared a Sovereign, and with just one hand, he was able to control a Sovereign and make the expression of a Sovereign Lord elder change dramatically.


    At this moment in time, facing the attack of a Sovereign Lord, Zhao Feng snickered. In an instant, a Magnificent Power covered the elder.


    Wah!


    The elder spat out a mouthful of blood as he felt his True Yuan become restricted, and he couldn''t even think about fighting back.


    "You¡­!" the elder was full of fear, panic, and disbelief. He was even more scared than Zhuang Wan''er.


    "What¡­ what''s going on?" the elites of the Canopy Great Country and the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion were dumbfounded. Zhao Feng didn''t even do anything except snicker, and yet a Sovereign Lord coughed out blood.


    The Magnificent Power was restricted to a small area since he didn''t want to use too much of his soul power. He wanted to rely more on pure Intent. Although he had been hit by the Cursed Words of Death, his comprehensions wouldn''t fade away or weaken, just like the revived child Demigod.


    In order of quickest withering to slowest, the Cursed Words of Death affected lifeforce, True Yuan, the soul, and the body. One of the slowest things to weaken was Emperor Intent, which was based off his soul power.


    "How is this power¡­?" Zhuang Wan''er''s skin was touching Zhao Feng''s, so she could feel the Magnificent Power from him.


    "That brat''s weird¡­ run!" Elder Xue Li felt extremely uneasy; even the elder from the Moon Demon Palace could do nothing against Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    He turned into a streak of blood-colored light and sped toward the water.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng faintly glanced in the direction of Elder Xue Li.


    Boom!


    An Intent descended from the sky and landed on Elder Xue Li, as if it was punishment from the heavens.


    "Arghh!" Elder Xue Li screamed as his soul shattered and his body fell from the sky.


    Plop!


    Elder Xue Li''s corpse fell into the forests below, and this scene caused both friend and foe alike to go cold.


    "Just a thought alone killed a Sovereign," Patriarch Hong, Tiemo, and company were dazed. No one else in the Azure Flower Continent could do such a thing, including the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch.


    "Could it be¡­?" Patriarch Hong and Tiemo looked at each other and thought of something they didn''t dare to before.


    "Sir King¡­ we are dumb and beg for your forgiveness," the elder stuttered while Zhuang Wan''er didn''t even dare to breathe loudly. The nightmare had now become an unrivalled nightmare.


    Void God Realm King. Such an existence was amongst the peak even in the Cang Ocean, and it only existed in the legends on the Azure Flower Continent.


    "King! Zhao Feng''s become a King!"


    "No wonder Deputy Patriarch Zhao could kill an Elder of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion with just a thought."


    Those from the Canopy Great Country broke out into chaos.


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo looked at each other. Apart from shock, there was overwhelming joy. One had to know that the entire Azure Flower Continent didn''t even have a single Void God Realm King; the Iron Blood Religion was the first to have one. How glorious was this?


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo couldn''t help but feel lucky about how they had chosen Zhao Feng. The birth of a King was enough to turn the tide of the entire continent, and it was unstoppable.


    "King¡­!" Empress Qin was dazed and felt as if she was in a dream. She couldn''t believe it.


    On the other hand, those from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion fell into despair. Under the gaze of a King, they didn''t even have the courage to run away ¨C Elder Xue Li was a perfect example of what would happen.


    "Sir King, if you have any requirements, just tell me," the elder said bitterly.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng had removed his Magnificent Power, but the elder and Zhuang Wan''er didn''t dare to have any other thoughts.


    "Zhuang Wan''er shall stay behind while you go back to the Moon Demon Palace, and if you don''t give me a good explanation within the next one hundred days, I will kill her and remove the entire Moon Demon Palace from the Cang Ocean," Zhao Feng spoke in a slow tone.


    Hearing this, the heart of the elder shook, especially when he heard that last line about removing the Moon Demon Palace from the Cang Ocean. Facing Zhao Feng''s cold and decisive voice, the elder had a ridiculous feeling, as if Zhao Feng actually had the ability to do so.


    Frankly, even if Zhao Feng''s strength dropped below the Void God Realm, there wouldn''t be too much difficulty in destroying the Moon Demon Palace because his Intents wouldn''t disappear, and the weakening of his Emperor Intent was considerably slow. Furthermore, Zhao Feng estimated that there would still be a month of two before he dropped below the Void God Realm.


    "I''ll go immediately. I hope that Sir King will not harm Wan''er," the elder took a deep breath. He knew that he didn''t have any ability to negotiate with a Void God Realm King.


    Whoosh!


    The elder turned into a streak of light and sped toward the limitless ocean.


    Zhuang Wan''er''s face was pale-white and filled with helplessness. She didn''t know what awaited her, but she knew that her fate was no longer in her control.


    The elites of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion either surrendered or were killed. A battle that could shake the heavens was stopped by one thought of a King.


    Zhao Feng wasn''t very interested in what happened afterward.


    "My strength has weakened quite a bit¡­." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sigh. Although he still currently had the battle-power of an Emperor, his soul, True Yuan, and bloodline were much weaker than before.


    Hearing that, the faces of Patriarch Hong, Tiemo, and company twitched, and Zhuang Wan''er was speechless. It seemed as if Zhao Feng wasn''t even at his peak, but he was too lazy to explain. The fading of his strength reminded him clearly of why he was here.


    He then immediately said goodbye to Patriarch Hong and Tiemo.


    "City Lord Liu," Zhao Feng''s gaze landed on the Flooding Lake City Lord. Zhao Feng took him and Zhuang Wan''er toward the direction of the Six Warlock Tower. On the way, Zhuang Wan''er summoned her spiritual pets to take them over.


    The Flooding Lake City Lord looked at Zhao Feng with complicated emotions. He didn''t expect the brat he had forced to marry his daughter had now become a legendary figure. This gave him some hope about Liu Qinxin''s whereabouts and whether she was alive or not.


    Several hours later, a six-sided tower came into sight.


    An elder sat quietly on the 49th floor of the Six Warlock Tower when Zhao Feng arrived.


    Miao!


    A silver-black big lazy cat appeared at the bottom of the tower and gazed toward the approaching black dot.


    "The guest is here," the Sage slowly spoke. It seemed as if he had been waiting.


    Whoosh!


    At the same moment, a beast landed.


    "You stay down here," Zhao Feng ordered Zhuang Wan''er to stay at the bottom of the tower.


    Zhuang Wan''er felt humiliated. She was a genius at the Origin Core Realm and was now just a guard.


    In reality, Zhao Feng just didn''t want Zhuang Wan''er to know about some of his secrets.


    "My Lord, this way," a female priest from the tower led Zhao Feng up.


    Miao!


    Miao miao!


    On the 49th floor, the little thieving cat and the big lazy cat both snickered as they saw each other.


    The Sage''s eyes flashed when they landed on Zhao Feng.


    "Cursed¡­ Words¡­ of¡­ Death¡­." the Sage''s voice was slow as he spoke each word one at a time.

 758 Resolution

    Zhao Feng''s eyes lit up. This was the first person he had met after the Pursuit of Death that could see that he had the Cursed Words of Death on him, and the person even saw it at first glance.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be slightly expectant; it seemed like he had found the right person.


    If nothing else, the Sage at least knew about the Cursed Words of Death.


    However, when the Sage spoke, his expression was solemn.


    "Sage, you seem to know about the Cursed Words of Death?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but ask.


    The Sage was silent for a moment as if contemplating. A long time later, his eyes, which seemed to have gone through time, looked toward the sky, "The Cursed Words of Death originates from the number two race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, the Ancient Shaman Race, and the price of activating this skill is death. The stronger the user, the more terrifying its power. When the experts of the Ancient Shaman Race used this in the Ancient Era, even Gods with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races weren''t able to survive."


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng''s heart shook. It seemed as if the Cursed Words of Death was more terrifying than he had expected. Even Gods with a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline weren''t able to survive; no wonder his Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline was also weakening.


    "The Ancient Shaman Race is almost completely extinct in the Fan Universe, but there are still people who research their techniques. Although the power of their skills might not be as strong as when they''re used by the Ancient Shaman Race, they''re not to be underestimated."


    Speaking up to there, the Sage looked curiously at Zhao Feng.


    "The Emperor of Death," Zhao Feng said.


    "Emperor of Death, as I thought. In the entire Cang Ocean, his mastery of the soul has reached the peak, and more importantly, he has the Eye of Death, a powerful item that can enhance the Cursed Words of Death," the Sage sighed.


    Zhao Feng had to admit that the Emperor of Death''s mastery of the soul exceeded his by a lot, but unfortunately, he met Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye, a true God-level eye, and was countered perfectly. If it were any other Emperor-level figure, they wouldn''t even have been able to defeat the Emperor of Death or chase after him, let alone kill him. Even Sacred Lords didn''t want to offend the Emperor of Death.


    "May I ask the Sage¡­ what can I do to resolve the Cursed Words of Death?" Zhao Feng''s heart clenched.


    "There are a few methods, but most have strict requirements," the Sage paused for a moment, and Zhao Feng concentrated on listening. He didn''t expect the Sage to resolve the Cursed Words of Death himself, but he was known for his wisdom and for his mastery of the Dao of Life, Entertainment, and Charm. Zhao Feng only hoped that the Sage could give him some tips and advice.


    "The first way is to find the Eye of Samsara. This eye can counter the Cursed Words of Death to a certain degree."


    Eye of Samsara. One of the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    Zhao Feng''s heart was overjoyed. At least there was some way to resolve the Cursed Words of Death. However, it seemed that only the Eye of Death and the Eye of Destiny had ever appeared in the Cang Ocean before; the Eye of Samsara had never been seen. Apparently, the Eye of Samsara was the rarest amongst the eight types.


    "The second method¡­ as everything in the world is balanced, if there are the Cursed Words of Death, there are also the Blessed Words of Death," the Sage smiled faintly.


    Blessed Words of Death?


    Zhao Feng instantly understood and spoke, "The Blessed Words of Death and the Cursed Words of Death are like water and fire, life and death¡­ polar opposites of each other."


    "That''s right," the Sage nodded his head. The Blessed Words of Death was the easiest way to resolve the Cursed Words of Death.


    "However, the theory behind the Blessed Words of Death is the same as the Cursed Words of Death; they are both Words of Death techniques, meaning that they can only be used after one dies¡­." the Sage faintly shook his head, and Zhao Feng shook his head in understanding.


    The Blessed Words of Death also required the user to die, which is why such a skill was so heaven-defying.


    In other words, the soul-strength of the user must be at least on par with the Emperor of Death, and they would have to sacrifice themselves in order to activate the Blessed Words of Death and counter Zhao Feng''s Cursed Words of Death. Even if they could find someone willing to do so, there was probably no one in the entire Cang Ocean who had soul-strength on par with the Emperor of Death.


    "The third way is to escape your shell. I think this is the most suitable method for you, and it''s actually doable," the Sage inspected Zhao Feng.


    "Oh?" flames of hope lit up in Zhao Feng''s eyes once more.


    "Escaping your shell will only work if there some part yourself that is not affected by the Cursed Words of Death¡­." the Sage said.


    Not affected?


    Zhao Feng instantly understood the theory behind it. He indeed had a part which was not affected. Even though his soul-strength was weakening, the God''s Spiritual Eye itself wasn''t affected by the Cursed Words of Death. The very center of the blue lake that was connected to the Ancient Dream Realm was completely forbidden.


    Apart from that, the place where the God Tribulation Lightning was stored was also unaffected by the Cursed Words of Death.


    "Let the non-affected part survive while the other parts die to the Cursed Words of Death ¨C this is escaping from your shell. Only a small number of unique existences can use this method. I believe that you, who has the Ninth God''s Eye, can try to do this," the Sage smiled and said.


    The three methods above were the Sage''s advice. The first two required outside help while Zhao Feng could try the third by himself.


    "The third method involves stealing another body like the Emperor of Death, but it''s extremely dangerous, and I would have to give up my bloodline and cultivation," Zhao Feng sighed.


    The most perfect method would be the second ¨C the Blessed Words of Death. This could get rid of the Cursed Words of Death completely without him losing anything, but at the same time, this method had the strictest requirements.


    However, no matter what, Zhao Feng at least had some options to choose from, and he knew far more than he did before.


    "Thank you for your advice," Zhao Feng was extremely grateful. Others wouldn''t know so much.


    "Little Friend is being too serious," the Sage shook his head bitterly, "You have the Ninth God''s Eye as well as limitless potential. If it weren''t for you, Qinxin wouldn''t have been able to change her destiny, and she would''ve died before sixteen years old."


    "Qinxin?" Zhao Feng''s and the Flooding Lake City Lord''s hearts jumped as they started to discuss the second reason they were here.


    Zhao Feng immediately told the Sage his experience in the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    "If my calculations are correct, Qinxin has had new life for eight years now," relief appeared on the Sage''s face.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng started to faintly understand what "new life" was.


    "You should have already met someone with new life, but that person wasn''t able to comprehend the Fate of Fan Lun and change their destiny," the Sage''s voice was mysterious.


    He had met such a person before? Zhao Feng couldn''t remember who it was.


    "Sage, can you tell me the whereabouts of Qinxin?" the Flooding Lake City Lord couldn''t help but ask. Zhao Feng also wanted to know her location.


    "Zhao Feng, if it''s meant to be, you will see Liu Qinxin again. If you want to find her whereabouts, you need to find the Eye of Samsara," the Sage''s smile became wider.


    Zhao Feng felt as if the Sage knew a lot more but didn''t want to tell him.


    "The Eye of Samsara again?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be speechless when he thought about this descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    "The Eye of Samsara appeared once in the continent zone dozens of millennia ago," the Sage said.


    "Continent zone?" Zhao Feng murmured. He knew that he would definitely go there sometime.


    In the Six Warlock Tower, Zhao Feng was dazed for a moment before saying goodbye to the Sage. He felt that the Sage was filled with mysteriousness, and he couldn''t see through him.


    On the 49th floor, the Sage sent Zhao Feng away with his eyes.


    Miao!


    The big lazy cat yawned.


    "A measly Azure Flower Continent is filled with such fortune, but this isn''t the center of life," the Sage murmured.


    Later that day, the Sage dispersed the Six Warlock Tower and left with the big lazy cat. From then onward, the Sage became a legend. He never returned, but his mysteriousness left a mark in the history of the Azure Flower Continent.


    Half a month after the Sage left, an Elder from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion led a group of elites and arrived at the Six Warlock Tower, but it was empty.


    "As expected of the Sage. I came here under orders from the Patriarch to capture him alive, but¡­" the Elder stood on the tower for a long time before leaving. However, just as they had travelled several hundred miles:


    Whoosh!


    A bright orange glow of light flew in from the limitless ocean and radiated an aura that made others unable to breathe. The newcomer was a youth with black hair, and his eyes were like dark skies. His every action contained unrivalled Intent and belief.


    "Who is it!?" the Elder met the youth very soon.


    "Hmm? This person looks slightly familiar¡­."


    "It''s him! Yu Tianhao! One of the overwhelming prodigies from the last Sacred True Dragon Gathering."


    Some elites from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion cried.


    "Spawn of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion? I''ll finish them off then," Yu Tianhao smiled as he slowly raised his palm, and an orange-colored light engulfed everything within several miles.


    "Arghh!"


    The several dozen elites of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, including the Elder, turned into dust. In just one move, he destroyed these experts of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, including a Sovereign.


    "Zhao Feng, I feel your aura has been here recently¡­." Yu Tianhao stood still as his black hair blew in the wind.


    With his Unparalleled Heaven Battling Bloodline and his instinct, he looked toward a certain direction. Following the direction and passing through space was a faraway place in the Northern Continent ¨C the Thirteen Countries.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng was in the Thirteen Countries.

 759 Three Great Kings

    In the Cloud Country, Zhao Feng floated in the air above the top of Sky Moon Mountain and gazed down at the Broken Moon Clan.


    This scene made him feel peaceful and calm. There were still many familiar faces even after so many years. Back then, they were disciples at the very bottom of the clan, but now they were of part of the middle-upper echelon.


    Zhao Feng saw Lin Fan, who was once the number one outer disciple, and he was now a Vice Division Leader at the half-step True Spirit Realm.


    The once-shy Ran Xiaoyuan had become an Elder.


    Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan, the other disciples of Lord Guanjun, had now become Regulators.


    The overall strength of the Broken Moon Clan was now comparable to a half-star power, and there were more than twenty True Spirit Realm Elders or Division Leaders.


    In a corner of the Broken Moon Clan, a male was drunk, but no one in the Thirteen Countries dared to underestimate him. He was the True Lord Rank expert guarding the Broken Moon Clan ¨C True Lord Tiexiao. The other True Lord Rank in the Broken Moon Clan was Lin Tong, who had the Heavenly Absent Eyes. These two True Lord Ranks had been either enslaved by Zhao Feng or had to sign a blood contract.


    In reality, the two of them both felt something when Zhao Feng returned to the Azure Flower Continent. Lin Tong''s senses came from his Dark Heart Seed while True Lord Tiexiao''s senses came from the blood contract.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao," the voice of a male sounded from nearby. This newcomer was the Clan Master of the Broken Moon Clan, and he was famed across the Thirteen Countries.


    "Senior Martial Brother Yang," Zhao Feng smiled faintly. He and Yang Gan were both disciples of First Elder, and they had a relatively better relationship than some of the other people in the clan.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, you seem to be different after coming back this time," Yang Gan said in a weird tone. The impression of Zhao Feng in his mind was that Zhao Feng spent every minute cultivating, but Zhao Feng had been here for more than ten days and yet acted very peacefully. Zhao Feng had never cultivated after returning, and looking at his sick face, he seemed more like a diseased person returning to their home.


    Zhao Feng smiled but didn''t explain anything. He and Yang Gan just walked around the Broken Moon Clan.


    "Greetings, Clan Master!"


    Some of the members or disciples of the clan bowed on the way, and some of the newer disciples who didn''t know Zhao Feng inspected him with curiosity.


    The eyes of the "old" people who knew Zhao Feng were filled with respect and admiration that far exceeded their respect for Yang Gan.


    Zhao Feng saw Old Zhang and Old Guan on the way and played chess with them while also talking about the past. The two still felt regretful that Zhao Feng didn''t go down the path of creating pills or constructing arrays.


    At night, Zhao Feng and Yang Gan arrived at First Elder''s place.


    The arm that First Elder had lost was replaced by a silver-green metallic arm, the Wheel of Light and Darkness, that Zhao Feng brought back last time. Now that First Elder was only half a step away from the True Lord Rank, with this Wheel of Light and Darkness, he could fight against those at the True Lord Rank.


    Zhao Feng didn''t think about raising the cultivation of his friends and family. The path of cultivation was tiresome and dangerous, and not everyone was suited to enter the outside world. Sometimes, being a frog at the bottom of a well was a blessing.


    Of course, he brought his two masters and parents the same present for each of them ¨C Immortal Springs Wine. The Immortal Springs Wine could increase one''s lifespan by a thousand years, and with the help of the Immortal Springs Wine, the lifespan of First Elder and company would exceed those at the Origin Core Realm.


    "Feng''er, the Cloud Country isn''t really affected by the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion''s rise, but I hope you can do your part to stop them," First Elder spoke. Just based on the fact that Zhao Feng could bring back something like the Immortal Springs Wine, he must have reached an unimaginable level.


    "Master, don''t worry. I''ve already sent my slave to take over the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion," Zhao Feng took a sip of top-tier alcohol from the outside world.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat also hugged the bottle and seemed to be somewhat drunk.


    First Elder and Yang Gan looked at each other with shock. Just a slave of Zhao Feng''s was able to take over the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion? However, they knew that Zhao Feng wasn''t arrogant. Maybe the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion didn''t even have the right for Zhao Feng to act personally.


    On the second day, Zhao Feng left the Broken Moon Clan and met up with Old Su from the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    Although the Thirteen Countries was a backwater area, their overall strength was not to be underestimated. Amongst them, the Dragon Killing Alliance controlled the territories of the two strong countries of the past, but their main headquarters was in the Cloud Country.


    Zhao Feng understood how the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion affected the Cloud Country from Old Su. Since the Cloud Country was poor and far away, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion didn''t really care about it, especially since the skeletal Division Leader''s forces had already been cleared out by Zhao Feng in the past, so it was considerably peaceful. There would be the occasional person, but they would be killed by the Dragon Killing Alliance.


    For the next couple days, Zhao Feng accompanied his parents and Lord Guanjun.


    Everyone that knew Zhao Feng felt weird. When did this cultivation maniac become so relaxed?


    "The last of my time has been spent with my master, parents, Martial Brothers and Sisters, and friends¡­." Zhao Feng gazed toward the sky in the darkness.


    After finishing everything here, Zhao Feng would go to the continent zone, and everything in the Azure Flower Continent would become further and further away from him. Before he did so, Zhao Feng wanted to accompany those that he grew up with.


    In the blink of an eye, he had stayed here for a month or two. Zhao Feng travelled across the Thirteen Countries, but he mainly just went to the places where he had important memories.


    In this period of time, he even went to Sun Feather City and Green Leaf Village.


    He also used a unique method to enter the Floating Crest Palace.


    Floating Crest Palace. This inheritance was no longer in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    The little thieving cat told Zhao Feng to go to the place where he found the egg and cloak. There was still a small amount of treasures here that were relatively rare for Sovereigns, and Zhao Feng guessed that the owner was at least a half-step King.


    "Looks like the little thieving cat hatching from an egg was just a coincidence," Zhao Feng murmured.


    The owner of the Floating Crest Palace loved to collect items, and anything made from special materials or that were unable to be appraised were also put into his collection. There were many nice collectables here, but Zhao Feng didn''t take any of them. On the contrary, he even added some treasures to the Floating Crest Palace. Some of the spoils of war from Sovereigns and Kings of the outside world weren''t very useful for Zhao Feng, so he just left them in the Floating Crest Palace.


    On this day, Zhao Feng was lying on a hill in the Broken Moon Clan when he suddenly sensed something.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng sensed several King auras descend to the Azure Flower Continent before quickly fading away.


    "Hehe, they''re finally here?" Zhao Feng laughed lightly as his relaxed expression faded.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s figure flashed and disappeared from the Broken Moon Clan.


    A while later, Zhao Feng found the charming girl in red, Zhuang Wan''er.


    "Zhao Feng, the Grand Elder of the Moon Demon Palace has arrived at the Azure Flower Continent and would like to talk to you," Zhuang Wan''er held a communication token and said carefully.


    "Oh, just to talk? Does the Moon Demon Palace bring three Kings just to talk?" Zhao Feng smiled, and Zhuang Wan''er was instantly speechless.


    The Moon Demon Palace only had one Void God Realm King. If they just wanted to talk peacefully and truthfully, then the Moon Demon Palace wouldn''t invite the Void God Realm Kings of the other forces.


    Zhuang Wan''er glanced at Zhao Feng sneakily and found that he was still casual.


    "The Grand Elder is currently at the Sacred Alliance," Zhuang Wan''er added.


    "Okay," Zhao Feng said goodbye to those in the Cloud Country without hesitation and left with Zhuang Wan''er.


    When they passed through the Canopy Great Country, Zhao Feng found that the situation of the Azure Flower Continent had changed dramatically. The skeletal Division Leader had taken over a large number of elites from the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and killed all those who didn''t obey him.


    Through the Dark Heart Seed, Zhao Feng knew that the skeletal Division Leader had taken over the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion forces in the Western and Southern Continents and was currently attacking toward the Center Continent, fighting with the forces of the main headquarters of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion.


    Nothing was able to withstand the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array. The skeletal Division Leader only used a little more than a dozen cursed ghost-corpses and was still able to overtake the Azure Flower Continent.


    At this point in time, under the attacks of the Sacred Alliance and the skeletal Division Leader, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was retreating. Apart from the location of their Patriarch being unknown, the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was almost completely destroyed.


    On this day, Zhao Feng arrived in the Center Continent in the Sacred Alliance.


    Zhao Feng could feel many powerful auras from far away. The strongest ones among them were three King auras, and the remaining auras were all Origin Core Realm experts of the Ten Great Clans.


    Inside a big hall:


    "Reporting to Grand Elder, Zhao Feng and Zhuang Wan''er have arrived," the Elder with the blood moon on his robes messaged and bowed.


    In the very center of the hall wasn''t the Palace Lord of the Sacred Alliance or their core members, but three glows of Magnificent Power. The very left glow was a golden skeleton, and the very right glow was a Demonic Dao expert surrounded in black. At the very middle was a pure female who seemed to be a goddess, and her aura suppressed the other two Kings.


    These three magnificent existences made the entire Sacred Alliance become dead-silent, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in this area seemed to have frozen.


    Below them were some of the upper echelon members of the Sacred Alliance, including the Deputy Palace Lord, Sovereign Yu Xingchen, and Baiyun Dao. However, none of these Sovereigns dared to even breathe loudly, and they were full of fear.


    These three Kings came from the Tianlu Islands, but they were now here for some reason.


    "What did Zhao Feng do for three Kings to come?" the upper echelon of the Sacred Alliance was uneasy.


    Behind Sovereign Yu Xingchen stood a male with black hair, and his eyes were like stars.


    Dissatisfaction and anger appeared on Yu Tianhao''s face as the Magnificent Pressure of a King bored down on him, but he was stopped by his father, "Hao''er, don''t be rash. Just the thought of any one of these three Kings can determine whether the Azure Flower Continent lives or dies."

 760 Negotiation

    The Magnificent Power of the three Kings made the hall go dead-silent. The upper echelon of the Sacred Alliance was all Sovereigns of the Azure Flower Continent, and many of them came from the Ten Great Clans, but none of them dared to even breathe loudly at the moment.


    Three Void God Realm Kings had descended upon the Azure Flower Continent, and behind them were powerful two-star sects. All of this was because Zhao Feng had kidnapped one of the Moon Demon Palace''s peerless prodigies, who was a descendant of the Grand Elder.


    The three Kings sat at the front of the hall. No one could see what they looked like; they were waiting quietly and didn''t purposely release their aura, but the atmosphere was solemn.


    Around half the time it took to make tea later, the sound of flying appeared, and a male and female landed in the hall several breaths later. They were respectively a sick purple-haired youth and a charming girl.


    "Zhao Feng!" the upper echelon of the Sacred Alliance exclaimed.


    The male and female walked steadily into the hall. Zhao Feng walked very confidently whereas Zhuang Wan''er was slightly uneasy, but she let out a breath when she saw the three Kings. However, she still didn''t dare to do anything. Zhuang Wan''er knew very clearly that Zhao Feng had sensed the three King auras long ago, and yet he still came; she wouldn''t believe it if Zhao Feng had nothing to rely on.


    "Zhao Feng, we finally meet¡­." a beautiful voice sounded from the middle King. It was a female who was pure and holy. Her every action seemed to come from a goddess.


    "Saint Moon Aunt Goddess," Zhao Feng looked at the female and said emotionlessly.


    The female he looked at made him remember Ye Yanyu from the Purple Saint Ruins. Ye Yanyu was the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess'' disciple, and he had seen her image when Ye Yanyu used the Void God Protection.


    Within the great hall, Zhao Feng''s exchange with the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess caused chaos. The gazes of the two locked on to each other for a sharp instant.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze was sharp and seemed to have the ability to see through one''s soul, whereas the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess'' was calm.


    Unexpectedly, when the three Kings saw Zhao Feng, they didn''t immediately trouble him or attack. The exchange between the two sides was much calmer than they had expected, as if they were friends that hadn''t seen each other for several years. Zhuang Wan''er even stood behind Zhao Feng.


    This atmosphere was very weird. The upper echelons of the Sacred Alliance all looked at each other and had their own guesses. It wasn''t hard to see that the three Kings were wary of Zhao Feng.


    Could the rumor be true? Had Zhao Feng become a King? But even if he had, he was facing three older Kings with two-star sects behind them. Zhao Feng should still be the one at a disadvantage.


    "Zhao Feng!" the expression of the Demonic Dao King was grim, "I heard that you kidnapped a Core disciple of mine and even threatened to destroy the Moon Demon Palace."


    The atmosphere instantly became tense. The King of the Demonic Dao wore an old black armor and had a scarlet-black curved moon symbol on his forehead. A Magnificent Power of the Demonic Dao covered the hall, and the hearts of all the upper echelons from the Sacred Alliance jumped.


    "That''s right, I said that. I hope that you will give me a good explanation as to why your sect is contaminating the Azure Flower Continent," Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back and slowly walked around.


    "Junior, don''t think that, just because you''ve become a King, the Moon Demon Palace will be scared of you!" the Demonic Dao King roared.


    "Zhe zhe, what arrogance¡­." the golden skeleton of the Black Cliff Palace laughed weirdly.


    Only the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess in the middle was calm, and she stopped the other two Kings from being enraged.


    Zhao Feng remained calm, but there was a coldness in his eyes.


    "Zhao Feng," the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess spoke, "We know that you are the disciple of Emperor Duanmu, but he''s already left the Cang Ocean."


    Hearing that, the people broke out into chaos once more and were stunned. They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be an Emperor''s disciple.


    "Even if a new King like you isn''t scared of three two-star sects, the Azure Flower Continent is innocent," the Saint Aunt Moon Goddess had a faint smile, but the power contained within her tone moved Zhao Feng''s heart.


    Amongst the three Kings, she was the most troublesome. She was a Peak-tier King, and as a two-and-a-half-star sect, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect definitely had more than one King.


    "Are you threatening me? Looks like the lesson Master gave you all wasn''t enough," Zhao Feng''s expression turned cold, and the expressions of the three Kings changed. They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be so forceful, but Emperor Duanmu had indeed taught them a lesson.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t drink the wine of punishment instead of the wine of respect. Hand Zhuang Wan''er over and we won''t harm anyone present," the Demonic Dao expert said in a deep tone, and the gazes of the three Kings locked on to Zhao Feng.


    All of the upper echelon members of the Sacred Alliance were surprised and happy. The Kings were actually negotiating with Zhao Feng. If one Zhuang Wan''er could be traded for their safety, it was worth it.


    "Are you¡­ still threatening me?" Zhao Feng''s face dropped as his purple hair started to blow, and a cold Intent started to spread across the hall.


    Even the three Kings felt uneasy. They glanced at each other with solemn expressions.


    Firstly, they remembered how strong Emperor Duanmu was.


    Secondly, they couldn''t see through the current Zhao Feng.


    They had witnessed Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline before. They had seen him kill Origin Core Realm experts when he was only at the True Lord Rank.


    Even the Pursuit of Death hadn''t taken his life, but news of Zhao Feng killing the Emperor of Death hadn''t spread here yet. Only a small number of people in the True Martial Spiritual Zone knew. If this wasn''t the case, then the three Kings wouldn''t even have the courage to negotiate.


    "Zhao Feng, as long as you hand over Zhuang Wan''er, we promise we won''t touch the Azure Flower Continent in the future," the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess took a step back, and the other two Kings suppressed their anger.


    "Zhao Feng, agree to the three Kings," some Sovereigns in the Sacred Alliance couldn''t help but say.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t be rash. You can''t take the existence of the Azure Flower Continent as a joke," Sovereign Baiyun Dao said.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze swept across the upper echelon of the Sacred Alliance, and it slightly lingered on Yu Tianhao for a while.


    For the Sacred Alliance, the three Kings negotiating was already taking a big step back, and Zhao Feng was forceful from the beginning. For a prodigy to do this, it was enough to be recorded in the history of the Azure Flower Continent.


    "Okay, I will accept that deal," Zhao Feng thought for a while before agreeing, then sent Zhuang Wan''er to the three Kings with a wave of Magnificent Power.


    The three Kings were slightly surprised. They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to agree so quickly. They nodded their heads and let the upper echelon of the Sacred Alliance out of the hall, but Zhao Feng remained standing still, and he looked at the King of the Demonic Dao until his hair stood up.


    "Zhao Feng, are you going to go back on your promise!?" the King of the Demonic Dao said loudly.


    "Hehe, go back on my promise? The deal is already complete. I gave Zhuang Wan''er to you," Zhao Feng said as a playful smile appeared on his face.


    "You¡­!" the three Kings all paused, and the hearts of the upper echelon who had just left the hall went cold. Was Zhao Feng going to do something else?


    "Everyone, retreat!"


    The upper echelon of the Sacred Alliance quickly flew away. They were scared they were going to be swept into a fight between Kings. Only one person stayed behind, and that person turned around and stood next to Zhao Feng.


    "Hao''er!" Yu Xingchen''s expression changed dramatically, but he could do nothing to stop him.


    Only two prodigies and three Kings were left behind in the hall:


    Boom~~~~!


    The release of Magnificent Power turned the hall into shambles, and the shockwave sent the upper echelon quickly retreating, but they couldn''t help looking back.


    Three glows of Magnificent Power floated in mid-air, and they were all enraged.


    "Yu Tianhao?" Zhao Feng didn''t bother with the three Kings and instead looked at Yu Tianhao.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t think of me as dragging you down. I can handle one King without too much trouble," Yu Tianhao said emotionlessly and radiated a half-step King Intent as his Unparalleled Heaven Battling Bloodline opened, causing his battle-intent to reach the level of a Void God Realm King.


    "Zhao Feng, what do you want?" the Saint Aunt Moon Goddess said unhappily.


    "I already said that the Moon Demon Palace has to give the Azure Flower Continent an explanation or else the Moon Demon Palace shall be removed from the Cang Ocean," Zhao Feng''s tone became colder and colder.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t get cocky¡­!" the King of the Demonic Dao roared as his Magnificent Power crushed toward Zhao Feng. The sky seemed to be dyed with scarlet-black flames, and a chaotic spatial dimension started to appear.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly as his Intent passed through Heaven and Earth.


    Boom!!!!


    The Magnificent Power that the Demonic Dao King had formed acted as if it was hit by Tribulation Lightning and was instantly destroyed. An unrivalled Intent that seemed to rule the sky smashed toward the King of the Demonic Dao.


    Wah!


    The King of the Demonic Dao instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face went white.


    "Emperor Intent!" the Saint Aunt Moon Goddess and golden skeleton exclaimed.


    Zhao Feng then took a step forward and slowly raised his hand.


    Bam! Boom! Boom!


    The heavens seemed to shake as a terrifying wave of lightning could be faintly seen through the air. The aura of immortal and undying God Tribulation Lightning made the souls of the three Kings tremble.


    Plop!


    The Demonic Dao King of the Moon Demon Palace fell from the sky and knelt on the ground.


    "Emperor Zhao Feng, please forgive us!" in an instant, the Saint Aunt Moon Goddess and company seemed to fall into an abyss and started to beg.

 761 Skeletal Division Leader Versus Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch

    "Emperor Zhao Feng, please forgive us!" the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess'' expression changed dramatically, and the golden skeleton King''s soul almost flew away from fright.


    "Emperor Intent? How¡­!?" the expression of the Demonic Dao King went as white as paper. Scorch marks burned across his body, and he seemed to have lost his soul.


    Zhuang Wan''er not far away was completely dumbfounded. In just a short breath or two, the original combination of three Kings had crumbled and surrendered. All of this surpassed what Zhuang Wan''er could comprehend. Seeing the soulless expression of the Grand Elder and the shocked and respectful expressions of the other two Kings, Zhuang Wan''er doubted her own eyes. Were these three still the unreachable Void God Realm Kings?


    "Emperor Intent¡­!" Yu Tianhao''s heart shook. He had just barely managed to comprehend half-step King Intent not long ago, and Zhao Feng right next to him had already formed Emperor Intent.


    The instant the Emperor Intent appeared, the three Kings lost their will to fight and admitted defeat.


    "Emperor Zhao, if there is anything else you want, you can just tell us," the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess tried to regain her composure and was full of respect, but Zhao Feng''s eyes were still locked on to the King of the Demonic Dao from the Moon Demon Palace.


    The three Kings knew clearly how powerful Zhao Feng was. Just the Intent alone had injured the soul of a Domain-level King, and a raise of his hand had injured the Demonic Dao King''s body. It didn''t matter whether Zhao Feng had the cultivation of an Emperor or not; just from the methods before, the three Kings wouldn''t be his match.


    How strong was an Emperor? All the Pirate Kings in the entire Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land were suppressed by one Emperor Mu Yun, and the battle-power of these three Kings were nowhere near the Peak-tier and Domain-level Kings of the Pirate Sacred Land.


    "Emperor Zhao, the Moon Demon Palace will repay any damage to the Azure Flower Continent, and I represent the Moon Demon Palace in expressing our utmost apologies," the King of the Demonic Dao took a deep breath and half-knelt on the ground.


    Whether he lived or died was within one thought. It wouldn''t be too hard for Zhao Feng to destroy the Moon Demon Palace, and the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect and Black Cliff Palace wouldn''t dare to help.


    "That''s better," Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head. He needed the Moon Demon Palace to give an explanation without breaking the deal he made.


    Hearing that, the three Kings let out a breath.


    At the same time, the Sovereigns of the Sacred Alliance looked over and had very colorful expressions. The three Kings in the air were kneeling in front of Zhao Feng and were full of fear and panic.


    "Who has a blood contract?" Zhao Feng suddenly spoke, and his voice reverberated throughout the air.


    "I do," Sovereign Baiyun Dao from the Sacred Alliance quickly reacted and handed over a blank blood contract.


    Blood contracts were created by the Heaven''s Legacy Race and were extremely rare. Only under special situations would one use such a scroll.


    "Blood contract?" the expressions of the three Kings changed.


    Zhao Feng started to write his requirements on the blank blood contract.


    A while later, Zhao Feng and the three Kings signed the blood contract.


    The content was as such: the three Kings and the three forces behind them were not to attack the Azure Flower Continent, and on the contrary, if the Azure Flower Continent ever needed help, they would come help to the best of their ability. At the same time, Zhao Feng was not to harm the innocents of the three sects, and he had to help them to the best of his ability when the three sects faced danger.


    Both sides needed to do as the blood contract asked.


    In reality, when signing this blood contract, the three Kings were actually overjoyed, but they didn''t know that, when Zhao Feng finished everything in the Azure Flower Continent, he would head to the continent zone. The content of the blood contract said, "to the best of his ability," but if Zhao Feng was in the continent zone, he couldn''t do anything if there was trouble way over here.


    After signing the blood contract, the three Kings quickly ran away, then marked the Azure Flower Continent as a forbidden zone when they returned to the Tianlu Islands.


    Half a month later, the three Kings received shocking news ¨C an expert called the Left-Eyed Heavenly Emperor had chased after the Emperor of Death and finally slew him after a monstrous battle. After hearing this news, the scalps of the three Kings tingled. No matter how dumb they were, they were sure that the Left-Eyed Heavenly Emperor was Zhao Feng.


    The three Kings didn''t dare to have any other thoughts.


    At the same moment in time, within this half a month of time, the battle with the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was coming to an end. 50% of the religion had been taken over by the skeletal Division Leader while the other 50% had been killed.


    However, there was no sign of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch even after the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion was destroyed. The skeletal Division Leader and the Sacred Alliance were all trying to find the whereabouts of the Scarlet Moon Patriarch.


    Their effort didn''t go to waste. On this day, in the Northern Continent, a Sovereign finally found the tracks of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch.


    The skeletal Division Leader arrived as soon as it could, and the elites of the Sacred Alliance started to close down on the search radius.


    Near a glacier:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The experts from around the Azure Flower Continent surrounded everything within a hundred miles, and the weakest of them had reached the True Lord Rank.


    "Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch, come out and die!"


    "Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch, we know you''re beneath the glacier."


    There were at least twenty Sovereigns near the glacier. Over half of all the Sovereigns in the Azure Flower Continent were here. The skeletal Division Leader was amongst them, and complex emotions flashed through its eyes.


    All the tracks and traces confirmed that the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch was hiding here.


    "A bunch of ants¡­! You''re courting death!" a cold raspy voice resounded across several miles, and a scarlet-colored light instantly filled the air.


    Boom!


    The entire glacier shattered and turned into a hailstorm that swept across several hundred miles. Many True Lord Rank experts were injured from the explosion. Only Sovereigns were barely able to protect themselves.


    In the next instant, a figure with blood-colored wings appeared in the air. He had a scarlet-colored moon on his forehead and gazed down coldly. From afar, it looked like he was a scarlet-winged devil.


    "Watch out!"


    "The cultivation of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch is incredibly close to the Void God Realm."


    The experts nearby all had cautious expressions. They were facing the most infamous criminal of the Azure Flower Continent over the past several hundred years.


    The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch looked to be 50-60 years old, but he was extremely tall, and the wings on his back spanned twenty yards. His eyes glowed like scarlet stars.


    The hearts of whoever he looked at shook.


    "Division Leader Yougu, how dare you betray me!?" coldness flashed through the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch''s eyes when his gaze landed on the skeletal Division Leader.


    The cold voice of hatred made the skeletal Division Leader''s heart turn cold. The fame of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch in its heart hadn''t been completely wiped away and, based on the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch''s aura, even if he hadn''t reached the Void God Realm, his battle-power was almost comparable to a normal King.


    In one-on-one combat, the skeletal Division Leader''s chances of winning were low.


    "Patriarch, I beg you to surrender. If it''s possible, I will ask Master to let you live," the skeletal Division Leader sighed. No matter what, it had admired the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch in the past, but now they were on opposite sides.


    The skeletal Division Leader knew that Zhao Feng was paying attention to this place. If the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch fought back and managed to escape from them, he still had no chance of living.


    "Master? Even if I die I won''t be someone else''s slave," the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch snickered coldly as the wings behind him started to flutter, and he turned into a storm that flashed through the air.


    He chose to break out from the skeletal Division Leader''s side. Only its cultivation and strength were anywhere close to his own. As long as the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch was able to kill or severely injure the skeletal Division Leader, his chances of escape rose dramatically.


    "Everyone, get back!" the skeletal Division Leader snickered coldly as an array flag appeared in its hand.


    In an instant, only the skeletal Division Leader and the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch were left behind in the air.


    Shua!


    A thick smoke appeared in the air and radiated a terrifying power of hatred and curse. There was a hundred pairs of red eyes amongst the smoke.


    "Hundred Corpse Curse! You actually took the Hundred Grave Forbidden Ground¡­!" the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch couldn''t help but exclaim.


    The power of the curse within the smoke was more than a thousand times stronger than when it was back at the Hundred Graves Forbidden Ground. The aura of each of the cursed ghost-corpses was close to the Great Origin Core Realm, and just the hundred pairs of eyes alone made the soul of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch shatter.


    The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch was stunned. This definitely wasn''t something that the skeletal Division Leader could have. However, he still underestimated the strength of the Hundred Corpse Cursed Array; it had absorbed the essence of many Kings and several hundred Origin Core Realm cultivators.


    Shua!


    A ghastly white hand radiating an aura of hatred reached out from the smoke toward the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch.


    "Arghh!" the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch let out a scream as the hand grabbed him.


    A terrifying scene happened. The Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch''s body started to wither and rot. In just a couple breaths'' time, the famed Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch had turned into a puddle of blood, and his remains were absorbed by the Hundred Corpse Cursed Array.


    Sii!


    The elites from across the continent took in cold breaths, and fear and wariness appeared in the eyes of the Sacred Alliance upper echelon.


    The elites of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion that the skeletal Division Leader had taken control of were filled with fear and respect.


    It was hard to imagine that the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch didn''t even have a chance to fight back at all ¨C he was instantly devoured by the skeletal Division Leader''s array.


    The name of the skeletal Division Leader spread across the continent after this battle. After taking over the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion, it became one of the most forbidden people in the Azure Flower Continent.


    Only a small number of people knew that the skeletal Division Leader was just Zhao Feng''s slave.


    Back in the Canopy Great Country, in the Iron Blood Religion, the image of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion Patriarch turning into a puddle of blood and water appeared on an ice-blue screen.


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo were stunned and unable to calm down.


    "I''ve almost done everything in the Azure Flower Continent," Zhao Feng waved his hand and the screen disappeared.

 762 Battle of Ten Years

    In an empty desert within the Canopy Great Country, a male with black hair and a youth with purple hair faced each other. Their clothes rippled in the sandstorm.


    "Zhao Feng, I hadn''t thought that the difference between us after meeting again would be so big, but I still want to fight," Yu Tianhao''s voice was deep, and a strong surge of battle-intent appeared in his eyes. Under this state of battle-intent, Yu Tianhao''s mental energy was strengthened, and his half-step King Intent started to rise.


    Facing such an opponent, Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. He admired Yu Tianhao; any other person facing someone with such difference probably wouldn''t even have the courage to fight.


    "Yu Tianhao, ten years isn''t up yet," Zhao Feng smiled and acted nonchalantly. It had only been slightly over seven years since the bet, not ten years.


    "I''ll be heading to the main Yu family in the continent zone after this, and I don''t know long I''ll be there. Since we''re both right here already, we might as well fight."


    Yu Tianhao obviously knew that the time wasn''t up yet, but Zhao Feng''s power ignited his battle-intent and potential.


    Continent zone? Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled, but he didn''t say anything.


    Both of their auras started to radiate within the sandstorm. A Magnificent Power surged from Zhao Feng''s body and connected with Heaven and Earth. His Emperor Intent allowed him to reach a peak.


    Just the aura alone made Yu Tianhao feel unable to breathe, but his battle-intent became stronger. Any other half-step King probably wouldn''t even be able to think about fighting back, but Yu Tianhao was able to ignite his battle-intent.


    "There''s such a weird and strong bloodline apart from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines?" Zhao Feng sighed.


    "Hmph! The Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines don''t rule supreme in the Fan Universe. After you reach the continent zone, you will know that there''s something called an Imperial Dao bloodline," Yu Tianhao snickered coldly.


    Imperial Dao bloodline? Zhao Feng knew of the Imperial Dao bloodlines, but he didn''t pay too much attention to them since Imperial Dao bloodlines were something from after the Ancient Era.


    "The Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines are facing extinction and are only getting more impure whereas the Imperial Dao bloodlines are constantly competing against each other. Only the strong will survive," Yu Tianhao''s voice was full of confidence.


    Everyone knew that the Ten Thousand Ancient Races came from the Ancient Era, but it wasn''t as if older things were automatically more powerful. For example, the Eight Great God Eyes only appeared after the Fan Universe was formed. The Eight Great God Eyes were closely related to the Ancient Era, but they were relatively recent.


    As time passed, the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races became more and more impure while the newer bloodlines kept on evolving.


    "The Heaven Battling bloodline is an Imperial Dao bloodline, and it isn''t any weaker than a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. My Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline is elite even among the Imperial Dao bloodlines."


    As soon as he finished saying this, Yu Tianhao''s bloodline seemed to start burning.


    Wu~~


    Yu Tianhao seemed to duplicate as a mysterious and cold figure appeared behind him. The actions of the two were in sync with one another, and Yu Tianhao''s every movement and breath contained stunning battle-intent that could destroy all power around him.


    Boom!


    The Magnificent Power nearby started to shake, and part of it was even ripped off. In this instant, a God of War seemed to take over Yu Tianhao''s body as a brilliant orange light shot into the sky. If it was the Magnificent Power of a normal King, it probably would''ve been pushed away by Yu Tianhao''s power completely.


    "Heaven Battling Axe!" Yu Tianhao raised his hand, and a bright orange axe slashed through Zhao Feng''s Magnificent Power and toward his body.


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. Even under his suppression, Yu Tianhao was able to ignite his battle-intent.


    "Break!" Zhao Feng slowly pushed out his palm, and an illusionary city appeared in the air.


    Even Yu Tianhao''s battle-intent shook.


    Bam!


    Seven years had passed, and the two prodigies fought head-on against one another once again, creating a storm that swept over a hundred miles.


    In the storm, a black-haired male groaned and moved back several steps. Yu Tianhao''s face was pale-white, and there was a bloody mark on him.


    Zhao Feng''s Intent was terrifying, and he had even merged the Illusion Domain into it. The illusion Domain could create attacks based on the Dao of Illusions. Just from the first exchange alone, Yu Tianhao was injured.


    "You''re suppressing your cultivation to the half-step King realm?" Yu Tianhao''s eyes twinkled.


    He realized something in the exchange just now. If Zhao Feng''s True Yuan was at a King-level, then he could''ve severely injured or killed Yu Tianhao.


    "Suppressing?" a bitter smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face. His cultivation just dropped to the half-step King realm.


    In reality, when he faced the three Kings earlier, his cultivation was already at a point between the Origin Core Realm and the Void God Realm. Of course, Zhao Feng still had an Emperor-level soul; after the cleansing of the God Tribulation Lightning, it was still as strong as normal Emperors, but he was 30-40% weaker than when he fought against the Emperor of Death.


    The weakening of his lifeforce and cultivation were the fastest. Zhao Feng estimated that he had already lost fifty years of his lifespan ¨C more than half the lifespan of a normal human. He was unable to affect the Cursed Words of Death; they were something that had exceeded normal laws.


    "Yu Tianhao, I can defeat you in three moves even with the cultivation of a half-step King," Zhao Feng soon became calm. As long as he had his Intent and God''s Spiritual Eye, he could recover very quickly just like the child Demigod. He could even re-cultivate the stronger Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique as long as he dealt with the Cursed Words of Death.


    "Three moves? Then let''s settle it in three moves!"


    Yu Tianhao''s battle-intent surged up once more and became even stronger despite his injury. His bloodline seemed to boil, and the figure behind him expanded in size.


    "Unparalleled Under the Heavens!" Yu Tianhao sent out a palm that glowed as bright as the sun, and the power was comparable to Domain-level Kings. A terrifying Intent seemed to materialize from the attack, and it could shake one''s soul and heart.


    "His battle-power has risen to another level," Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly, but he wasn''t scared. He sent out a normal punch, and this time, he merged the Illusion Maze Domain and Mystic Ice Domain at the same time.


    Peng~~~ Boom!


    The clash instantly created a cold layer of ice around everything within several hundred miles.


    Bam!


    Yu Tianhao flew out, and a layer of frost covered his body. The blood leaking out of his mouth instantly froze.


    "The third move!" Yu Tianhao gritted his teeth as the image behind him released a brilliant glow of light that seemed to devour Heaven and Earth. His mental energy Intent was comparable to a Peak-tier King.


    At this instant, Yu Tianhao''s battle-power was comparable to a Peak-tier King.


    "It''s over," Zhao Feng took a deep breath as his three spatial domains stacked on top of each other.


    Boom!


    The desert that they were fighting in shook, and a chasm appeared in the ground.


    Wah!


    The image behind Yu Tianhao''s back instantly shattered, and his face went white.


    Plop!


    His body fell onto the ground and he fainted.


    "Yu Tianhao, I didn''t expect you would be able to form complete King Intent in the last three moves," Zhao Feng murmured.


    His Divine Sense scanned over Yu Tianhao and found that his state was similar to when they fought last time. The Unparalleled Heaven Battling Bloodline could increase one''s battle-strength continuously, but they would pay a price after using it. Simply put, he was overusing his energy.


    Shua!


    With a thought, Zhao Feng sent Yu Tianhao several hundred miles away.


    Whoosh!


    Sovereign Yu Xingchen flew through the air and caught Yu Tianhao.


    "Zhao Feng, I will remember this in my heart," Yu Xingchen bowed in the direction of Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng smiled and nodded as he left the desert and headed toward the main headquarters of the Iron Blood Religion.


    Yu Xingchen had found Zhao Feng before the battle. There was no doubt who was going to win, so Zhao Feng had agreed to Yu Xingchen''s request to go easy and not severely injure Yu Tianhao while also igniting his Unparalleled Heaven Battling Bloodline.


    Reality proved that, even with the cultivation of a half-step King, Zhao Feng could easily defeat Kings.


    A while later, Zhao Feng returned to the Iron Blood Religion headquarters.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared and inspected the people with curiosity. Patriarch Hong, Tiemo, the skeletal Division Leader, and company were all present.


    "Master, the Scarlet Moon Palace I''ve created has become the number one force in the Azure Flower Continent, and it will protect the balance of the Azure Flower Continent," the skeletal Division Leader reported.


    Half of the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion had been taken over by the Scarlet Moon Palace while the other half was killed, but despite the lesser numbers, the Scarlet Moon Palace''s strength surpassed the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion at its peak. The Ghost Corpse Cursed Array alone could kill Kings.


    "Skeletal Division Leader," Zhao Feng ordered, "From today onward, you shall guard the Azure Flower Continent. You will regain your freedom after the Scarlet Moon Palace has stabilized."


    "Master¡­." hearing that, the skeletal Division Leader was filled with disbelief and excitement. After accompanying Zhao Feng for so many years, it had improved dramatically, but it never expected it would one day be free.


    Zhao Feng did this out of consideration for himself. The skeletal Division Leader and the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array had reached the end of their potential. The former could at most become a King, and no matter how strong the Ghost Corpse Cursed Array was, it couldn''t really threaten Emperors.


    Zhao Feng was aiming for the continent zone and people above Emperors; thus, it was better to just leave the skeletal Division Leader in the Azure Flower Continent and let it cultivate by itself.


    After completing all of this, Zhao Feng got up and prepared to leave the Azure Flower Continent, but he gave the skeletal Division Leader one more task.


    "The child Demigod has escaped my control and is definitely hiding in some corner cultivating. You need to keep an eye on his whereabouts after I leave," Zhao Feng said solemnly.


    At the moment, the child Demigod would definitely be scared of Zhao Feng and not dare to appear, but Zhao Feng didn''t have the time nor energy to pursue the child Demigod. Besides, the two hadn''t reached a level where one of them must die.

 763 Escaping from the Shell

    On this day, an arc of lightning entered the limitless ocean.


    Whoosh!


    A purple-haired youth was floating in the air, and a small silver-gray cat sat on his shoulder. He gave one last deep glance toward the Azure Flower Continent before scarlet wings formed behind his back as he headed out.


    The human and cat were obviously Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    When his cultivation dropped to the half-step King realm, Zhao Feng found that all his aspects were weakening even quicker than before. Void God Realm Kings had stronger resistance against the Cursed Words of Death. In other words, if an Ascended Realm cultivator was hit by the Cursed Words of Death, they would turn into a pile of white bones immediately.


    This made Zhao Feng feel a sense of urgency.


    "I need to go to the continent zone while I still have some strength," Zhao Feng murmured.


    The Sage had told him three ways to resolve the Cursed Words of Death, and the third method required a heavy price.


    The first two weren''t very realistic, but they were only even possible in the continent zone. Apart from that, he also wanted to go there in order to find Duanmu Qing and Zhao Yufei.


    Due to all of that, Zhao Feng had to go to the continent zone.


    A few days later, Zhao Feng reached the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace of the Azure Green Islands Zone. The Azure Flower Continent was within the Azure Green Islands Zone, and next to it was the Tianlu Islands.


    Normal people wouldn''t have the right to use the teleportation array, but Zhao Feng was a disciple of the three-star Mystic True Sacred Clan, and he would also have the right to do so if he released his Emperor Intent ¨C the strong ruled this world.


    Of course, using the teleportation array cost a large amount of Primal Crystal Stones, and it was limited in distance. He could only teleport to the nearby Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces. Only after several teleportations did Zhao Feng reach the True Martial Sacred Land.


    After reaching the True Martial Sacred Land, Zhao Feng''s gaze couldn''t help but turn toward the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak. The Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array and many inheritances both big and small were on the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak.


    Zhao Feng was suspicious about whether the child Demigod had any way to enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden. After all, the child Demigod had Demigod Intent. Of course, even if Zhao Feng could confirm that the child Demigod was hiding in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Zhao Feng couldn''t do anything about it.


    Zhao Feng didn''t stay in the True Martial Sacred Land for long. He soon used the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array to reach the Floating Dream Sacred Land.


    "There are three spiritual zones in the Cang Ocean, and the border of the Floating Dream Sacred Land is closest to the Nanlin Sea."


    A map appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind. The Nanlin Sea was close to the southern part of the continent zone, whereas the Cang Ocean was further away and out of the Lord Dynasty''s reach. This meant that, as long as Zhao Feng entered the Nanlin Sea, he would be at the border of the continent zone, where the forces of the Lord Dynasty would be stronger.


    Zhao Feng used the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Array and reached the edge of the Floating Dream Spiritual Zone.


    Zhao Feng was running low on Primal Crystal Stones, so he asked Emperor Zi Mu for some.


    When he met Emperor Zi Mu, Zhao Feng concealed his aura but didn''t hide his Emperor Intent. Emperor Zi Mu didn''t think too much about it, and since he wanted to build a good relationship with Zhao Feng anyway, he obviously gave him a lot of Primal Crystal Stones.


    "Emperor Zhao, the name of the Left-Eyed Heavenly Emperor in the Cang Ocean can make Gods and Ghosts alike retreat. Even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords are wary of you," Emperor Zi Mu was filled with respect, but he didn''t know that Zhao Feng''s cultivation had already fallen back to the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Zhao Feng didn''t stay too long with Emperor Zi Mu. He said that he had some urgent matters that he needed to attend to, then quickly left.


    One day, Zhao Feng appeared in the furthest Void Ocean Spiritual Palace of the Floating Dream Spiritual Zone.


    Void Ocean Spiritual Zones were commonly used within the limitless ocean. Apparently, this was an order by the Lord Dynasty after they conquered the continent and the surrounding seas. However, the Lord Dynasty had basically lost control of the Cang Ocean and only had some slight power in the Nanlin Sea.


    The resources of the Nanlin Sea surpassed the Cang Ocean, and it had four Spiritual Zone Sacred Lands.


    The journey from the Nanlin Sea to the continent zone is long, Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    After his cultivation dropped down to the Origin Core Realm, his soul power started weakening much faster. His soul was still at the middle stages of the Void God Realm, but it was much weaker than his peak.


    "If my soul drops to the Origin Core Realm, my Emperor Intent will most likely fall asleep," Zhao Feng became even more impatient.


    Emperor Intent was based on the soul. If one''s soul power wasn''t strong enough, then Emperor Intent would fall asleep and only start to reawaken when the soul became stronger. After all, Intent was based upon comprehension and understanding, but it still required "fuel." The Cursed Words of Death couldn''t affect one''s comprehension, so Emperor Intent wouldn''t disappear, but it couldn''t function without enough soul power.


    Zhao Feng kept using the Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces after reaching the Nanlin Sea. As long as he still had his Emperor Intent, the Palace Lords would give him face.


    Many of the Palace Lords were Kings ¨C the progress of cultivation here was slightly stronger than the Cang Ocean.


    Half a month later, Zhao Feng passed through a Spiritual Zone Sacred Land in the Nanlin Sea, and part of his Intent was sealed, leaving him with only King Intent. His soul power had finally dropped.


    However, Kings were still pretty powerful even in the Nanlin Sea. The Palace Lords would usually allow him through after seeing such a young King.


    "The weakening of my cultivation and soul is becoming faster and faster," Zhao Feng felt solemn and guessed that his cultivation would drop to the True Spirit Realm before he even reached the continent zone.


    Once he reached the True Spirit Realm, the rate of weakening would become several times faster. This meant that Zhao Feng had to make some preparations.


    Within the purple Soul Sea, Zhao Feng''s soul power was much weaker than the past, and the Soul Sea had shrunk to only a few hundred yards. However, the pathway to the Ancient Dream Realm wasn''t affected by the Cursed Words of Death. Apart from that, there were eight hundred mysterious lightning symbols that radiated an undying and immortal aura.


    "The God''s Spiritual Eye and the God Tribulation Lightning are the parts that aren''t affected," Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    With his God''s Spiritual Eye, he could see that there were wisps of black blood in the other parts of his body. This dark power affected both the physical and mental energy dimensions, and soul attacks were ineffective against it.


    While he still had King Intent, Zhao Feng kept on journeying forward.


    Two months later, a dim arc of lightning landed on the ground. The nearby Origin Core Realm Sovereigns were slightly curious when he passed through the barrier.


    "A measly True Spirit Realm can pass through the barrier?" an elder at the Small Origin Core Realm was surprised.


    This place wasn''t the continent zone, it was a large "great island zone." It was called the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, and it had more than a dozen island zones similar to the Azure Islands Zone.


    Apparently, this Great Island Zone was ruled by a Marquess.


    Whoosh!


    An elder as skinny as a stick surrounded by Wind Lightning entered this great island zone in the Nanlin Sea. The appearance of this elder was similar to Zhao Feng.


    Miao miao!


    A little silver-gray cat stood on the elder''s shoulder and waved its paws with excitement.


    "Little thieving cat, I''m already like this. Why are you so excited?" Zhao Feng said in a depressed tone.


    Over 95% of his lifespan and lifeforce was gone. His cultivation had dropped to the True Spirit Realm, and over 90% of his Emperor Intent had fallen asleep.


    "Looks like I won''t be able to make it to the continent zone in time. I''ll need to give it my all," Zhao Feng sighed.


    Luckily, he had put the ancient metal ring and some over treasures into the dimension of his left eye.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng''s soul and body burned into a pile of ashes amidst the blaze of Wind Lightning.


    Weng!


    The burning of his life and soul created a strong surge of energy.


    "God Eye leaving the body!" a perfect purple-colored eye that existed between the physical and mental worlds entered inland at a speed faster than Emperors.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s lifeforce and True Yuan was completely destroyed. The Cursed Words of Death disappeared along with them.


    Shuu!


    A puddle of black blood turned into nothing and disappeared.


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye and God Tribulation Lightning were unaffected by the Cursed Words of Death, otherwise, even if he gave up his physical body, he wouldn''t have been able to escape the Cursed Words of Death.


    "Using the third method of escaping my shell¡­ I finally managed to escape the Cursed Words of Death¡­." Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    His senses were extremely strong since his God''s Eye left his body, and he instantly scanned over several dozens of thousands of miles.


    At the same moment in time, within a quiet forest:


    "You''re¡­ you''re from the Yin family¡­!" a pale-faced youth held a broken sword and barely managed to hold up his body. Next to him was the body of some kind of tiger that used to be at the True Spirit Realm before it was killed.


    "Zhao Feng*, you''re a once-in-a-thousand-years genius of the Zhao family who joined the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, breaking through to the True Spirit Realm at the age of fourteen. This is a massive threat to the Yin family."


    "Hehe, if it wasn''t for the fact that you entered the Wuyou Forest, we wouldn''t have had this chance."


    Several figures with masks on said in a cold and smug tone. One of them had even reached the True Lord Rank.


    "Arghh!" the youth called Zhao Feng screamed as he was sent flying with one palm from a masked male.


    "Boss, this brat''s dead."


    "Not good, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan are coming."


    An elder gave the order to retreat.


    Whoosh!


    Right at this moment, a purple flash of lightning passed through the air above the Wuyou Forest.


    An incredible scene happened. The eye of the youth called Zhao Feng that just died turned purple and gave off a strong Intent before quickly fading.

 764 Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng

    "The northern parts of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone¡­ the Zhao family of the Yunling area¡­ Zhao Feng?"


    The memory of a stranger appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind. At this moment, his purple Soul Sea was absorbing a broken soul and memory. Coincidentally, the name and pronunciation of this youth was the same as Zhao Feng''s.


    With Zhao Feng''s control over the God''s Spiritual Eye, he managed to gain control of the body very quickly.


    "Not good. My organs are critically injured, and I''ve lost a lot of blood¡­." Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly.


    Although he had "stolen" this body, the youth was technically dead already. At least Zhao Feng wouldn''t feel guilty; if he didn''t come, this youth called Zhao Feng would''ve died anyway.


    He started to circulate the remaining one-tenth of his Intent, freezing the injuries and re-igniting the lifeforce within this body. Even though "Zhao Feng" died, the body wasn''t destroyed, so the process was relatively smooth. Zhao Feng didn''t want to find another body since this body was suitable.


    He needed to confirm one important thing.


    "Huu. Luckily, the Cursed Words of Death have disappeared."


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. Escaping from his shell meant that he could only protect his God''s Spiritual Eye. The remaining places, including his soul and body, were eroded by the Cursed Words of Death.


    There were three types of revival.


    The first was to steal a body. This method was relatively simple, but it was rather risky.


    The second was to revive from blood, like the child Demigod had done. This was required a strong enough soul and Intent.


    The third was rebirth through Samsara. The specifics couldn''t be controlled; it was hard to say whether one would regain their memories. If they were lucky, they would be reborn as someone with a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline or a disciple of some superpower. If they were unlucky, they would be reborn as a dog or a pig. However, if the third method could be controlled, it would be perfect.


    In comparison with the other two, the method that Zhao Feng used was less skillful, but it was the only method he could implement.


    Zhao Feng didn''t know how to revive from blood; even the Emperor of Death probably couldn''t do so. The child Demigod had reached a high mastery of the Golden Kun Sacred Body at his peak, and he was eventually able to cultivate the ability to revive from blood. Furthermore, reviving from blood didn''t suit Zhao Feng anyway because his physical body was unable to stop the Cursed Words of Death. If he revived from blood, the power of the Cursed Words of Death would just show up again as well.


    As for rebirth through Samsara, even if he knew how, he wouldn''t be able to control it.


    The least skillful method of stealing a body was most suitable for Zhao Feng.


    "This body is extremely young and it just broke through to the True Spirit Realm. It''s very suitable for me," Zhao Feng inspected his body and was satisfied.


    If the target was too strong, it wouldn''t suit Zhao Feng. It wasn''t that he didn''t want to take over a strong target, it was just that he had given up over 90% of his soul power to stop the Cursed Words of Death and let go of his physical body. With just his remaining less-than-10% of his soul, he couldn''t steal a body at the Void God Realm. Even someone at the Origin Core Realm could struggle, but he could easily take over someone at the True Spirit Realm. Besides, the owner of this body had just died and saved Zhao Feng a lot of trouble.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng let out a long breath. The Cursed Words of Death had been dissolved, and this body was far more talented than the one he had before. It was suitable to cultivate the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    The only regretful thing was that the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline was gone, but nothing was perfect in this world.


    Zhao Feng then started to digest the memories of this body.


    The original owner of this body, Zhao Feng, came from a middle-tier family of the Yunling area. The Zhao family and the Yin family of the Yunling Mountains were extremely competitive with one another, and there was a feud between them.


    Zhao Feng was a once-in-a-thousand-years genius of the Zhao family, and he managed to pass the test and successfully enter the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan half a year ago. The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was once a three-star superpower and, although it had dropped to two-stars now, it had a strong foundation and was much stronger than some of the two-star sects in the True Martial Sacred Land.


    This obviously made the Yin family wary and uneasy, but luckily, Zhao Feng went on a mission with some other disciples and, due to his lonely nature and not-very-good relationship with the other disciples, he went solo, giving the Yin family a chance.


    "Interesting; this body has the talent of a High-tier Earth Spirit Body, and he has some sort of bloodline, but both his parents died when he was young and he lived only with his grandfather."


    Zhao Feng delved further and found more useful information, including the fact that he had a fianc¨¦e who seemed to come from a powerful family.


    It could be said that this youth carried the hope of the Zhao family.


    "Since I inherited this body, then I''ll complete your wishes from when you were alive. Of course, everything except the fianc¨¦e¡­." a faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    The appearance of this youth was relatively handsome; it surpassed his previous body. The only problem was that his attitude was cold.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sound of flying appeared right at this moment.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao Feng!"


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao seems to be severely injured. Junior Martial Sister Wan, quickly help him¡­!"


    A total of six disciples consisting of both males and females appeared. The weakest of them had reached the True Spirit Realm. The leader was a youth who had a weird expression. He was the leader of the group this time, and he had reached the True Lord Rank.


    Zhao Feng lay on the ground while a quiet and nice girl in blue used a Water skill to heal him.


    The information regarding these disciples appeared in his mind. The leading youth was called Senior Martial Brother Guang. His full name was Guang Tian, and he was quite popular. The quiet girl in blue was called Wan Rong, and her cultivation had reached the True Mystic Rank.


    Amongst the group, Zhao Feng had the lowest cultivation. This was because he was the youngest and had joined the clan for the shortest amount of time.


    The ten great Core disciples in his memories had all reached the Origin Core Realm, and two or three were at the Great Origin Core Realm.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan disciples were ranked as such: Outer disciples, Central disciples, and Core disciples. The present disciples were all at least Core disciples.


    "It''s really weird. Junior Martial Brother Zhao has been critically injured, but he somehow survived," the girl in blue was surprised. Zhao Feng''s heart had been severely injured, but he was somehow frozen and didn''t lose any blood.


    Senior Martial Sister Wan gave Zhao Feng a precious spiritual pill. Zhao Feng secretly circulated his Intent and spread the energy from the medicine toward the severely injured parts.


    A while later, Zhao Feng''s injuries were somehow mostly healed.


    "Done."


    Zhao Feng clapped the dust off his body, then stood up and looked around.


    The nice Senior Martial Sister Wan couldn''t help but reveal a weird expression. The Zhao Feng in front of her at this moment gave her a weird feeling, and the eyebrows of Senior Martial Brother Guang locked together as a coldness flashed through his eyes.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, if you go alone every single time, one day, you won''t be so lucky."


    Senior Martial Brother Guang didn''t ask how Zhao Feng was injured. There was a True Spirit Realm beast next to Zhao Feng, so logically speaking, they thought that Zhao Feng was heavily injured from fighting with it. Only Senior Martial Sister Wan, who was responsible for healing, saw that something was off.


    While they spoke, Senior Martial Brother Guang blamed Zhao Feng a lot. Zhao Feng didn''t say anything, but there was a faint coldness and disdain in his eyes. With his analysis and inspection abilities, it wasn''t hard for him to see that this Senior Martial Brother Guang was definitely related to the ambush from the Yin family.


    While they were on the mission, Senior Martial Brother Guang and Zhao Feng argued, and the cold loner Zhao Feng decided to travel by himself. However, according to what Zhao Feng knew, Senior Martial Brother Guang was always good at making friends, and suddenly the Yin family ambushed him as soon as he separated from the group?


    If it weren''t for the fact that Senior Martial Sister Wan was unwilling to see Zhao Feng truly travel alone, they wouldn''t have found his body.


    "Senior Martial Sister Wan, I owe you a favor," Zhao Feng didn''t bother with Senior Martial Brother Guang. He just smiled and nodded toward Senior Martial Sister Wan.


    "You¡­ don''t know what''s good for you!" Senior Martial Brother Guang roared.


    Miao miao!


    Right at this moment, a little silver-gray cat jumped over from one side of a tree.


    "What a cute cat!" love appeared in Senior Martial Sister Wan''s eyes.


    The little cat had an arrogant and proud attitude, and its eyeballs were like black pearls. It seemed to be extremely intelligent.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat landed on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and nudged Zhao Feng.


    "Little thieving cat," Zhao Feng reached out and gently touched its fur with joy.


    Humans could exist in different forms, and those with the body of a human might not actually be human. However, the soul was the true core; the physical body was just skin. Especially for Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death, who specialized in the soul, the soul was their true source.


    Even after stealing a body, Zhao Feng was still Zhao Feng. The little thieving cat still accompanied him.


    "This cat¡­?"


    Senior Martial Brother Guang, Senior Martial Sister Wan, and company were surprised. At this moment in time, Zhao Feng had an indescribable aura about him.


    "I forgot to tell you all that I just took in this pet cat from the Wuyou Forest not long ago," Zhao Feng added.


    Senior Martial Brother Guang and company didn''t say anything. A cat this small didn''t seem to have much battle-power. Only "Zhao Feng" with his cold and lonely attitude or a female would choose such cute-looking-but-weak pets.


    After saying that, the human and cat started to walk toward the depths of the Wuyou Forest.


    "Zhao Feng, what are you doing!?" Senior Martial Brother Guang roared.


    "I will act alone," Zhao Feng faintly said and didn''t even turn around.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, the depths of the Wuyou Forest has Sovereigns. Travelling alone is extremely dangerous," Senior Martial Sister Wan couldn''t help but say, and Senior Martial Brother Guang and company were full of disdain and acted as if they were looking at a retard.


    "This guy almost just died because he was travelling alone and he''s still not changing?" a disciple in blue snickered coldly.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, if you really want to travel alone, it''s not my fault. If you can''t complete the clan''s task and die here, it''s got nothing to do with me," Senior Martial Brother Guang laughed coldly and said.


    Even if Zhao Feng could survive, he wouldn''t be able to complete the task alone and would most likely be punished when he returned.


    However, the human and cat acted as if they didn''t hear anything and kept on heading toward the depths of the Wuyou Forest.


    The quiet and nice Senior Martial Sister Wan looked at the leaving figure and felt ridiculous. She somehow felt that this figure was extremely mysterious and charming.

 765 Yinming Bird

    The human and cat headed toward the depths of the Wuyou Forest.


    Zhao Feng had his own plans, and he was less likely to become suspicious if he acted alone. Besides, it suited the body''s original attitude anyway.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng also wanted to test how much battle-power he still had left. He was too disdainful to attack those below the True Spirit Realm, but there was still a small number of beasts that attacked Zhao Feng.


    Crack! Boom!


    The nearby trees were broken by a large surge of power. A flaming Yao cow charged toward Zhao Feng.


    "A beast that''s just reached the True Spirit Realm?"


    Zhao Feng didn''t even look at it. He swiped his hand, sending a faint red-colored flaming sword made from True Yuan through the air.


    Whoosh!


    The cow''s large body was instantly sliced in two and it died.


    After finishing off the cow, Zhao Feng walked steadily toward the Wuyou Forest. Apparently, there were some relatively intelligent Origin Core Realm beasts in the depths of the Wuyou Forest.


    Not long after Zhao Feng left:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several masked figures quickly approached.


    "The strength of this flaming cow is even stronger than others at the same rank, and yet it was killed in one blow," the eyes of the leading elder twinkled.


    "With that brat''s just-stabilized injuries, how could he do this?"


    "It''s impossible to do this without the battle-power of a True Lord rank."


    The masked males discussed in low tones. They could exclude Zhao Feng as the one who did this, and the injuries that the flaming cow had sustained were from the element of fire.


    "It should be someone else who''s at least at the True Lord Rank," the leading elder said confidently, and the others were puzzled.


    "The person who did this didn''t even bother picking up the corpse of this flaming cow. Think about it ¨C the body of the flaming cow, especially its blood and heart, is beneficial for those that cultivate the element of fire," the elder smiled and said.


    Hearing that, the others all agreed. Indeed, if Zhao Feng had done this, he definitely wouldn''t just ignore the body of the flaming cow.


    "Follow him!" the masked males followed the tracks and pursued Zhao Feng.


    Around half the time it took to make tea later, the human and cat came into view.


    "There''s no one around¡­ attack!"


    A total of five masked males led by the elder leapt at Zhao Feng.


    As if sensing something, Zhao Feng turned around and smiled at them.


    "That smile¡­." the elder suddenly felt cold and uneasy. Although the appearance of the youth in front of them was the same as "Zhao Feng," the feeling he gave off was as if they were two different people.


    "Hahaha¡­. Brat, I didn''t expect you to survive, but unfortunately, there''s no good fortune awaiting you!" the masked males laughed. They had just beaten this youth within an inch of his life before, so they were extremely confident.


    "Survive? How can you be sure that I haven''t died?" Zhao Feng revealed a weird expression as he slowly raised his hand.


    Shuuu!!


    Several flaming blades slashed through the air alongside the humming of lightning.


    "Watch out!" the expression of the leading elder changed dramatically. However, Zhao Feng''s attack was just too fast, and they thought that his strength was still the same as before.


    "Arghhh!"


    Screams sounded as the five True Human and True Mystic Rank masked males were split into two or burnt.


    "You¡­ you''re not Zhao Feng!" the leading elder exclaimed. Such strength had reached the True Lord Rank at least. Zhao Feng definitely didn''t have such comprehension.


    "Tell me ¨C how do you know that I didn''t die?" Zhao Feng walked confidently toward the elder, who became angry; "Brat, even if your strength has reached the True Lord Rank, it''s only on par with me."


    After saying that, an old broken sword appeared in his hand and sent a wave of golden light forward.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The nearby trees were instantly turned into ashes.


    Hmm? It''s a broken Earth-grade weapon that a Sovereign used before, Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. It was obvious that this weapon was the elder''s hidden card. The elder instinctively felt that the Zhao Feng in front of him was not simple.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly and took a step forward as an unparalleled Intent pierced through the sky.


    "Argh!" the broken sword fell to the ground as the elder spat out a mouthful of blood. His face went white, and his mind was severely injured as an Intent restricted his powers.


    Even though Zhao Feng only had one-tenth of his Intent remaining, it wasn''t something that a mere True Lord Rank could fight against.


    "Intent¡­?" the elder couldn''t believe it. The opponent''s Intent had reached a level that he couldn''t see through.


    Shua!


    A hand hit his head.


    "Soul-searching technique!"


    A misty purple haze appeared in Zhao Feng''s left eye. The elder''s body shook and could do nothing against the opponent''s Intent and soul power.


    "As I thought," Zhao Feng took back his hand as he received his answer.


    It was Senior Martial Brother Guang. The death of Zhao Feng from before was due to Senior Martial Brother Guang purposely arguing with him and making him travel alone. This time was also related to Senior Martial Brother Guang; this elder was a guest Elder of the Yin family.


    "Guang Tian," Zhao Feng murmured Senior Martial Brother Guang''s name as a cold glint flashed through his eyes.


    Since he had revived through this body, he would complete Zhao Feng''s wishes, and he would kill those that caused his death.


    However, Senior Martial Brother Guang was a Core disciple, and his master was a Void God Realm King.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan used to be a three-star superpower. Although it was much weaker now, there were more than a dozen Kings and several Emperors.


    The combined forces of the three two-star sects of the Tianlu Islands was not on the same level as the lone Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was definitely one of the most elite two-star sects.


    "Oh well, that just means that I''ll be able to obtain more resources and have a better environment to cultivate in," Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Shua!


    With a thought, an ancient metal ring appeared on his finger.


    "These resources can only help me re-cultivate to a half-step King, but they aren''t enough for anything above a King. Furthermore, the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body requires a lot of resources since it''s a body-strengthening technique. The Five Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique also requires resources of every element¡­." Zhao Feng started to plan how to re-cultivate.


    All in all, his current identity and environment suited re-cultivation.


    Slowly but steadily, Zhao Feng approached the depths of the Wuyou Forest. The beasts he faced here became stronger, and it was common to see True Spirit Realm beasts. There was even the occasional True Lord Rank beast, but before they got anywhere near him, they would be easily finished off by Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    "The little thieving cat can protect himself even against a King, but my aim is higher than that," Zhao Feng felt calm.


    He started to understand his battle-power after reviving. Although he didn''t even have one tenth of his peak power remaining, it was still stronger than normal half-step Kings, and he still had his God''s Spiritual Eye as well.


    "Protect the princess!"


    "We''re so unlucky and just had to meet the most mysterious Yinming Bird in the Wuyou Forest."


    The sound of flying appeared from ahead, and Zhao Feng''s footsteps stopped as he felt a weird aura. A large bird with half-transparent wings and covered in a layer of dark flames was chasing after three males and one female.


    Whoosh~~~~!


    The bird seemed to be made from nothing as it passed through branches and trees. It was as fast as lightning.


    The three males being chased were all at the Origin Core Realm, and one of them was a Sovereign Lord. The female wore a noble and purple dress. She was around fifteen years old, and she had a face as white as snow and gave off a noble aura.


    What made Zhao Feng surprised was that she had reached the peak True Mystic Rank and was just half a step away from the True Lord Rank. It could be guessed that this girl not only came from a noble background; she was also talented.


    However, what surprised Zhao Feng even more was that the Yinming Bird was only at the peak Small Origin Core Realm and yet could force a Sovereign Lord and two Sovereigns to retreat.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The Yinming Bird''s half-transparent wings fluttered quickly as it leapt toward the four.


    "Soul attack, and based on the element of Death¡­." Zhao Feng inspected.


    Simply put, this bird cultivated the same path as the Emperor of Death.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and glared at the Yinming Bird. Zhao Feng could sense that the bloodline of the Yinming Bird was unusual.


    Pa!


    The Yinming Bird suddenly became angry and charged toward Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    "Thieving cat, what did you say to this bird?" Zhao Feng''s expression changed. The Yinming Bird''s battle-power was comparable to a Sovereign Lord, and it cultivated the element of Death.


    Although he said that, Zhao Feng''s black hair suddenly turned faint purple, and his purple-colored left eye locked on to the Yinming Bird.


    What happened next was extremely weird. When the Yinming Bird approached Zhao Feng, it suddenly froze and started to struggle.


    "Hmm?" the escaping three males and one female suddenly realized that the Yinming Bird had charged toward a youth instead of them. The youth had his back toward them, and his dreamy purple hair blew in the air. One could see the side of his handsome face.


    "How is this possible?" the leading Sovereign Lord was stunned.


    When the Yinming Bird approached Zhao Feng, it started to shrink until it was the size of a palm.


    The little bird and the little thieving cat stood on Zhao Feng''s left and right shoulder respectively. The Yinming Bird that was just enraged was now nudging Zhao Feng''s neck obediently.


    "The Tianfeng Great Island Zone has such a talented Beast Tamer!? The Yinming Bird is extremely rare and trains in the element of Death. It''s almost impossible to tame," the noble young girl had surprise written all over her face.


    On top of everything, the Beast Tamer was unbelievably young. She wanted to see the face of the purple-haired youth clearly but didn''t succeed.


    Just as they were about to go up and talk to him:


    Hu~~


    The Yinming Bird suddenly expanded and took Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat through the forest and into the sky.

 766 Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique

    The three males and one female watched as Zhao Feng sat on the Yinming Bird and flew away. The shock on their faces hadn''t faded yet, and the Yinming Bird was already gone.


    "Such a young and talented Beast Tamer. Unfortunately, I didn''t get to know him¡­." the noble girl watched the Yinming Bird fly away with regret.


    There were probably not many Beast Tamers that could tame the Yinming Bird, which trained in the element of Death, so easily. Furthermore, this Beast Tamer was young and handsome.


    "Princess, don''t worry," the leading Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord smiled faintly. "There will definitely be a chance to see that youth in the future given how talented he is."


    Hearing that, the others all nodded their heads in agreement. Gold would shine sooner or later, and that youth''s ability would definitely be famed across the great island zone at some point.


    At the same moment, there were two mysterious guards a couple dozen miles away. They were like shadows, and their cultivation was at the half-step King level.


    "Weird. That youth''s at the True Spirit Realm, but he gave off a profound soul undulation, and he managed to easily tame the Yinming Bird," one of the guards said.


    "Our mission is to protect the princess in secret. It''s none of our business how weird that youth is," the other guard said expressionlessly.


    In the clouds, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat sat on the Yinming Bird and passed through the air above the Wuyou Forest.


    "The Yinming Bird''s speed is not bad. If it weren''t for the fact that my soul has God Tribulation Lightning, I wouldn''t have been able to tame it so easily," Zhao Feng couldn''t help but admire.


    One had to know that he trained the Wind Lightning Inheritance in his past incarnation, and the Wind Lightning Inheritance was famous for its speed. For Zhao Feng to say "not bad" showed that the Yinming Bird''s speed was outstanding.


    Of course, although it was fast, there were also negatives. The amount of weight it could carry was far lighter than other birds because its body was only partially corporeal, hence why it could enlarge and shrink at will.


    For the current Zhao Feng, this bird was a good steed. The Yinming Bird trained the rare element of Death and had outstanding speed. It was no wonder Zhao Feng would try to tame it.


    While taming it, Zhao Feng also sensed the two half-step Kings nearby, so he quickly concealed his aura and left.


    "I should complete the task before returning to the clan."


    Zhao Feng remembered that they had gathered together to complete a task. They needed to gather specific parts of beasts within a certain timeframe. The strength of these beasts wasn''t low, and it would be hard for one or two True Human Ranks to complete the task.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng easily completed the task and returned to the clan on the Yinming Bird. A group of mountains surrounded in a faint golden light appeared in sight. It seemed to be in sync with the sun.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    There was an occasional flying figure in the sky, and there were flying steeds of every sort. Origin Core Realm Sovereigns could be seen from time to time.


    "Hmm?"


    Zhao Feng''s Yinming Bird raised the attention of some experts in the clan. The Yinming Bird was a rare bird, and even Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords and half-step Kings would want one. The Yinming Bird''s process of maturing was more difficult than others, but it was still desirable.


    Some Origin Core Realm Sovereigns gazed at Zhao Feng''s Yinming Bird with fiery-hot eyes, but Zhao Feng was unmoved. He purposely didn''t go low-key because he didn''t believe that anyone would dare to steal his steed right here. Becoming famous would mean that he would get more resources and power in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    Within a great hall of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, some disciples were lining up and handing over their tasks.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao?" surprised voices came from across the hall. The origin of these voices was Senior Martial Brother Guang, Senior Martial Sister Wan, and company.


    Hearing their sound, Zhao Feng slowly walked over. After all, the entire group had accepted the task together, and everyone had a specified amount they needed to give.


    A weird light flashed through Senior Martial Brother Guang''s eyes when he saw that Zhao Feng had returned safely.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao!" Senior Martial Brother Guang soon hid his emotions and said in a righteous tone, "As you left alone, you won''t get anything."


    Usually, Zhao Feng needed to follow the group the entire way to have a share, but since he left, the group leader had the ability to not give him anything. In reality, the Zhao Feng from before didn''t do much anyway, so there was nothing wrong in doing so.


    I''m going to tell the Regulating team about it as well, Senior Martial Brother Guang faintly smiled.


    At this moment, it was Senior Martial Brother Guang''s team''s turn to go over, and Zhao Feng followed them as well.


    Within a separate hall, Senior Martial Brother Guang and company started to hand over the items. The person in charge of checking the items was an elder that had reached the late-stages of the Small Origin Core Realm.


    "Regulator Fan, these are the materials we gathered, but one of our members, Zhao Feng, left the group," Senior Martial Brother Guang said righteously.


    "Hmph, I''ve seen far too many self-centered and selfish disciples. We need to punish them more severely," Regulator Fan had a strict expression. Senior Martial Brother Guang was a disciple of a King, and Regulator Fan would obviously give him face.


    "You are Zhao Feng? Where is your specified amount of materials?" Regulator Fan''s gaze landed on Zhao Feng. He knew a little about the youth called "Zhao Feng" as he was slightly talented, but an Earth Spirit Body wasn''t that rare in the Lord Dynasty. Beisdes, apart from talent, one''s future was also based on comprehension, will, effort, and many other things unless one was like Nan Gongsheng and had a Heaven Spirit Body.


    All in all, if Zhao Feng''s performance over the next two years was good, he had a chance to become a disciple of a King.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng expressionlessly waved his hand and a bunch of materials fell onto the ground.


    What!? the eyes of everyone present stared at the group of materials. They were the required items from the task.


    "¡­there''s twice the amount than required here. Did you do this alone?" Regulator Fan was faintly dazed. This meant that Zhao Feng alone completed twice the requirements, and they were all high quality. They easily surpassed the requirements; Regulator Fan inspected the materials and found that they were perfect.


    "How could he do this alone?" Senior Martial Brother Guang and company were all stunned, and the eyes of the kind Senior Martial Sister Wan spun, unable to hide her surprise. The image of Zhao Feng''s back leaving once again appeared in her mind.


    "Regulator, have I met the requirements?" Zhao Feng smiled and asked.


    "You''ve got twice the amount required here, and they are all of high quality. You''ve obviously met the requirements," Regulator Fan soon calmed down.


    There was no specific method as to how to complete the task. If they wanted, one could spend Primal Crystal Stones and just buy the required materials.


    "This Zhao Feng definitely hired someone to gather these materials. After all, he has a decent family behind his back," Senior Martial Brother Guang exchanged looks with the others.


    After completing the mission, they all got their rewards. The reward was mainly clan contribution points, which could be used to buy techniques or acquire certain privileges in the clan.


    The middle-upper echelon of the clan gave all the troublesome tasks to the bottom disciples. If there was some unsafe matter in their territory, the bottom disciples would be sent out. Most disciples in the world of cultivation were used for running around.


    "Two thousand points and eight thousand Primal Crystal Stones¡­." Zhao Feng inspected his reward.


    His reward was more than the amount of Senior Martial Brother Guang and company combined. After all, there was no limit on the amount one could supply since it was all heavily needed.


    After walking out of the hall:


    Zhao Feng, you can buy the required items this time, but if the next mission is to kill or fight, let''s see how you''ll fake it, Senior Martial Brother Guang snickered coldly in his heart, but he still maintained a smile and pretended to be on good terms with Zhao Feng.


    "Senior Martial Brother Guang, how do you know people from the Yin family?" Zhao Feng asked out of nowhere.


    "The Yin family¡­ what do you mean? What the heck?" panic appeared in Senior Martial Brother Guang''s eyes as he tried to act calm, but he somehow felt uneasy as Zhao Feng''s sharp eyes looked at him.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother replying and swiped his hand, summoning a large dark flaming bird.


    Whoosh!


    The Yinming Bird took Zhao Feng into the sky and left the other disciples below dumbfounded.


    "Oh my god! It''s a rare Yinming Bird!"


    "Isn''t that bird extremely hard to tame?"


    The present disciples started to discuss, while Senior Martial Brother Guang and company had gaping mouths.


    "Could Zhao Feng''s family have given that to him as well?"


    Looking at the Yinming Bird fly through the sky, they were speechless for a long time.


    Zhao Feng arrived at the place he lived very soon. Being a Central disciple, he had his own little house, but it was small amongst the large mountains of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    He immediately opened the protective array of his house and put up the symbol that he was in seclusion. As the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan used to be a three-star superpower, it had extremely good basic functions.


    Zhao Feng sat down in the room as the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique appeared in his mind.


    These two skills go hand-in-hand with each other. To cultivate the Sacred Lightning Body, I need to strengthen my body with the five elements of lightning, Zhao Feng thought.


    He first needed to cultivate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, which had been combined and upgraded from the Wind Lightning Inheritance and Five Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique.


    "The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique is split into twelve levels and can reach the Heavenly Divine Realm. The first three levels are based off Wind Lightning. From the fourth level onward, one starts to cultivate the elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The tenth level is when the five elements and the Wind Lightning start to circulate continuously¡­."


    Zhao Feng''s mind became immersed in it.

 767 Blocking the Way

    Zhao Feng estimated that the first three levels would pose no difficulty to him. After all, he had reached the peak of the Wind Lightning Inheritance in his previous life. The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique used the power of Wind Lightning as the basic foundation, so Wind Lightning was obviously very important.


    Zhao Feng spent four hours fully comprehending and analyzing the first three levels. He could tell that it was the condensed essence and perfected version of the Purple Destruction Wind Lightning.


    "The perfected version is indeed profound. It''s only the early stages and it''s already much more profound than the Wind Lightning Inheritance," Zhao Feng couldn''t help but praise.


    Of course, since it was only the early stages, the difference in power wasn''t too big. The main advantages were that it had higher potential, used less energy, and recovered slightly faster. However, for someone like Zhao Feng, who had Emperor Intent, what moved him the most was its potential.


    I can now cultivate the first three levels, Zhao Feng thought, but he didn''t start right away. He still needed to do a couple things beforehand.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng took a sip of Immortal Springs Wine from the ancient metal ring. The Immortal Springs Wine could increase one''s lifespan by a thousand years and strengthen one''s state of existence. Even more importantly, the Immortal Springs Wine was extremely mild, and it could merge with one''s blood. Even if a mortal drank the Immortal Springs Wine, they would be able to slowly absorb it, although Zhao Feng wouldn''t absorb it that slowly.


    He immediately started to circulate his Intent and True Yuan so that the Immortal Springs Wine would spread throughout his body. This body already had high potential, so it could absorb a lot of Immortal Springs Wine.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng''s lifeforce and foundation became much stronger, and a lot of impurities were excreted. In terms of lifeforce alone, Zhao Feng was stronger than True Lord Ranks and approaching the Origin Core Realm, and he was still only at the first Heaven of the True Spirit Realm ¨C the True Human Rank. On top of that, he had only absorbed a small portion of the Immortal Springs Wine so far.


    "Not bad. Since I am re-cultivating, I need to make my foundation extremely strong," Zhao Feng nodded his head and started to cultivate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    The first three levels were of no difficulty to Zhao Feng. His Intent was extremely compatible with Heaven and Earth as he directed the power of Wind Lightning throughout his body. Since his Intent so profound, Zhao Feng''s refinement of Wind Lightning was extremely pure. It was almost certain that the foundation of these three levels would surpass that of his previous life.


    There were some rare Lightning Crystal Stones in his ancient metal ring, as well as a small amount of various resources that he could currently use.


    In just one hour''s time, True Force of Wind Lightning started to form in his body. The quality of it far surpassed the Fire True Force within his dantian. The original owner of this body cultivated the Dao of Fire, but the foundation wasn''t very solid or powerful, so it didn''t really affect Zhao Feng.


    As time passed, the Wind Lightning True Force started to merge into the dantian and clear out the Fire True Force. The dantian of a Void God Realm would have already formed a True Yuan Dimension and wouldn''t be able to do this. In order to do such a thing, one must re-cultivate.


    It was like a building; the more solid the structure was at the bottom, the easier it was to build on top of it and the higher you could go, and the original body hadn''t even managed to form the Root of Laws yet.


    In just three days'' time, Zhao Feng cultivated the first level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. Half a month later, Zhao Feng successfully entered the second level. At this point in time, over 99% of the Fire True Force was purged. His Source of True Force was full of a clear and liquefied Wind Lightning that flowed continuously throughout his body.


    "My cultivation is comparable to a peak True Human Rank, but I don''t even need the Root of Laws," Zhao Feng murmured.


    King and Emperor Intent were countless times more profound than the Root of Laws, and this time around, Zhao Feng would slowly refine his Intent along with his rise in cultivation. When he finally recovered to the Void God Realm, his Emperor Intent would be more pure and condensed. All in all, this path made Zhao Feng''s future broader.


    In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng had been in seclusion for two months. At this moment, he had reached the peak of the second level, and he had reached the True Mystic Rank.


    The True Spirit Realm was split into three Heavens: the True Human Rank, the True Mystic Rank, and the True Lord Rank. Normal geniuses needed at least ten years to reach the True Mystic Rank, and they had to comprehend the Root of Laws. If one''s comprehension abilities weren''t strong enough, they would be struck at the True Human Rank for life. However, Zhao Feng only used two months to reach the True Mystic Rank.


    "My cultivation is slower than the Demigod Kun Yun''s revival from blood."


    Zhao Feng had to admit that reviving from blood could form a body very similar to the one in the previous life, and the Demigod Kun Yun in particular used his blood essence. Just one drop of blood from a Demigod was countless times stronger than Zhao Feng''s foundation, but the child Demigod was also just going down the same path as his previous life.


    "I''m cultivating the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, both of which are more profound that the Demigod Kun Yun''s."


    Zhao Feng also knew his gains and losses. He had gotten rid of the Cursed Words of Death, but he lost his Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline.


    After two continuous months of seclusion, Zhao Feng finally stopped cultivating. If he could, Zhao Feng would just enter seclusion for half a year and reach the Origin Core Realm, but that would be too shocking. No matter how high-key he wanted to be, there was a limit.


    There was another reason why he stopped; Zhao Feng needed to cultivate the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body as well, and the difference between the two skills couldn''t be too big, but the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was a body-strengthening technique and required some specific materials that Zhao Feng didn''t have.


    In reality, Zhao Feng could just cultivate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique by itself, but he was unable to resist the temptation of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. When the Sacred Lightning Body reached its later stages, it would have the attribute of immortality, and he would be able to revive from blood like the Demigod Kun Yun.


    The biggest advantage was how the Sacred Lightning Body would face the God Tribulation in the future. After all, the God Tribulation was the biggest threat when trying to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm. Once he cultivated the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng''s chances of passing the God Tribulation would increase by 50%, and he might even be able to use the lightning to refine his body.


    Although these matters were all very far away, that didn''t mean Zhao Feng couldn''t think about them now.


    Just as Zhao Feng exited seclusion, there were several guests outside his place. Amongst them were even two Origin Core Realms.


    "Zhao Feng, I heard that you tamed a Yinming Bird. Are you willing to trade it?" one late-stage Small Origin Core Realm asked.


    "Sorry, I don''t want to trade the Yinming Bird," Zhao Feng shook his head and declined, but there were still people that didn''t give up.


    "Zhao Feng, my master is the Deputy Hall Lord of the Mystic Arcane Hall, and he''s a half-step King that has the potential to become a King. If you''re willing to trade the Yinming Bird, it''ll be extremely beneficial for your future," a slightly fat youth said confidently.


    Zhao Feng knew this youth. It was another Central disciple called Wang Yuan.


    With the original Zhao Feng''s talent, there were several Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign lords and even a half-step King that wanted to take him in as a disciple, but Zhao Feng had wanted to wait a couple years and become a disciple of a King. This was also what the Yunling Zhao family wanted. The Yunling Zhao family already had Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords; only by becoming the disciple of a King would Zhao Feng and the Zhao family''s destiny change.


    "Go, go, go¡­. I won''t trade it even with a King," Zhao Feng waved his hand impatiently.


    This scene made the expressions of everyone slightly ugly.


    "A measly True Spirit Realm dares to act like this!?" a Small Origin Core Realm elder roared in anger, but Zhao Feng snickered coldly and summoned a dark flaming bird.


    The aura of the Yinming Bird forced the people back. They gritted their teeth and started to curse as Zhao Feng sat on the Yinming Bird and left.


    Not long after Zhao Feng left, the figure of Senior Martial Brother Guang appeared nearby and walked toward the slightly fat youth Wang Yuan.


    "This kid is more arrogant than I expected," Wang Yuan was surprised.


    Zhe zhe, this brat''s EQ is too low and he actually offended this many people at once; with his attitude, even if he has a middle-tier family behind him, he won''t be able to survive in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan for long, Senior Martial Brother Guang acted as if he was watching a show.


    He was the one that spread the news of Zhao Feng having a Yinming Bird. The Yin family had promised him that, no matter how Zhao Feng died, he would receive a bountiful reward. Furthermore, Zhao Feng seemed to have gained some sort of fortune that increased his cultivation and allowed him to tame a Yinming Bird, making Senior Martial Brother Guang jealous.


    Whoosh!


    A dark flaming bird spanning twenty yards landed in a marketplace in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan''s territory was extremely big; just the size of the clan itself was the size of the Cloud Country. Therefore, Zhao Feng didn''t need to leave the clan to fulfill most of his requirements.


    This was also why Zhao Feng chose to stay in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan for the time being. After he completed this youth''s wishes and broke through to at least the half-step King level, he would head toward the Lord Dynasty on the continent zone.


    The castle in front was dozens of miles wide, and it was similar to a small Void Ocean Spiritual Palace, but it was only for exchanges between members of the clan.


    Zhao Feng put away the Yinming Bird while the little thieving cat sat on his shoulder, and its eyes started to spin.


    Around half a day later, Zhao Feng managed to buy some necessary resources while also selling some that he didn''t need. Of course, if he sold resources that were too rare, he would attract a bunch of half-step Kings or higher, so he didn''t sell those.


    "Zhao Feng, stop right there!"


    Zhao Feng was stopped by a group of people just as he exited the castle. This group of people were all at least Central disciples, and the slightly fat Wang Yuan was amongst them. There were two Core disciples as well, which surprised Zhao Feng.

 768 Sacred Lightning Body

    Most of the Core disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan were disciples of Kings, and their status exceeded normal Central disciples.


    "Zhao Feng" knew these two Core disciples. One of them was the leader of the group last time, Senior Martial Brother Guang Tian, and the other was a skinny male with bright eyes that gave off a sharp aura, and his cultivation had reached the half-step Origin Core Realm.


    "Senior Martial Brother Huang Yunhu, it was this brat that was disrespectful to the Kings," the slightly fat youth Wang Yuan said.


    Before, Zhao Feng said he wouldn''t trade the Yinming Bird even with a King. This was obviously exaggerated by Wang Yuan, such as, "Zhao Feng didn''t even put Kings in his eyes."


    Huang Yunhu, a Core disciple and the disciple of King Lu Yun. This person loves face and showing off, information regarding him appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind. Although the Zhao Feng from before had only entered the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan for half a year, he knew a bit about the famous Core disciples.


    "You''re that Zhao Feng? You''re not scared that the wind will cut off your tongue? How dare you talk about a King like that?" Huang Yunhu said coldly.


    Fights between disciples were extremely common in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and the clan watched with one eye open and another closed. As long as no one died, it was fine. After all, this would make the disciples more competitive.


    "Zhao Feng, quickly apologize to Senior Martial Brother Huang and Junior Martial Brother Wang Yuan. You know Senior Martial Brother Huang''s attitude¡­." Senior Martial Brother Guang stepped between Zhao Feng and Huang Yunhu and pretended to be caring as he encouraged Zhao Feng to apologize.


    "How about this, Zhao Feng¡­ as long as you kneel down and apologize, I''ll let you being disrespectful to the Kings go," Huang Yunhu crossed his arms and said.


    He acted extremely righteously and showed off his status as the disciple of a King. Zhao Feng knew that these were just tricks to bully other disciples. If it were a normal disciple, they would use logic and reasoning, but it would be useless in the end. The strong ruled ¨C Zhao Feng obviously wouldn''t hold back.


    "Hmph, two trash Core disciples. Aren''t you scared that you''re losing face for your masters?" Zhao Feng mocked.


    Hearing that, everyone became dead-silent, and the Central disciples started to sweat for Zhao Feng. Huang Yunhu and company were indeed below average amongst Core disciples, but even then, they were still above Central disciples.


    "Brat¡­! How dare you disrespect Core disciples!?" even Senior Martial Brother Guang felt as if he had lost all face.


    Huang Yunhu was extremely angry; a Core disciple was being looked down on by a disciple that had only been here for half a year. He then started to circulate his half-step True Yuan and released a scarlet-brown light that made the area nearby become heavy.


    "Kneel down!" Huang Yunhu unleashed his half-step Origin Core Realm cultivation. It was more than enough to take care of a True Mystic Rank. He believed that he could take down this brat immediately.


    However, the youth in his sight laughed in disdain and gently waved his hand. A dark half-transparent bird appeared behind him and leapt at Huang Yunhu. The powerful aura of the Yinming Bird made the faces of Huang Yunhu and company go white and start to shake.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao! This is a spar between disciples. How dare you use your spiritual pet?" Senior Martial Brother Guang couldn''t help but roar.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Huang Yunhu screamed as he was hit by a dark flame and was sent flying back dozens of yards. The shockwave made some of the other Central disciples slightly injured.


    One had to know that the Yinming bird trained in the element of Death and the Soul. Its attacks contained soul attacks and could wipe out lifeforce.


    Cold sweat appeared on Huang Yunhu''s forehead as he lay on the ground.


    "So, this is the strength of a Core disciple?" Zhao Feng asked disdainfully.


    "Zhao Feng, you relied on your spiritual pet! If you have the courage, then fight me by yourself," Huang Yunhu managed to get back up. His face was filled with hatred and unwillingness.


    Senior Martial Brother Guang spoke in a strict tone, "Zhao Feng, your spiritual pet injured a Core disciple. Are you not scared of being punished by a King?"


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly. Senior Martial Brother Guang and company would probably use this incident as a way to handle his pet. If a disciple injured another disciple, it was just an argument between juniors, but if their spiritual pet injured another disciple, it was something different.


    "Is that so?" Zhao Feng licked his lips and walked over to Huang Yunhu, then kicked his right leg.


    "Arghh!" Huang Yunhu screamed as he heard a crack. His leg was broken.


    It was hard to imagine that Zhao Feng, a True Mystic Rank disciple, had such a strong body. The nearby Central disciples felt cold.


    "Huang Yunhu challenged me, and I broke one of his legs. Does anyone disagree?" Zhao Feng''s gaze scanned over the place, and the disciples all escaped his gaze and started to hiccup.


    "Hahaha¡­!" Zhao Feng roared with laughter as he sat on the Yinming Bird and left. The Central disciples all had ugly expressions.


    "Shameless! That Zhao Feng is just relying on his spiritual pet."


    Everyone swore, but they couldn''t do anything.


    "If it wasn''t for the Yinming Bird, even I''d be able to defeat Zhao Feng," a peak True Mystic Rank Central disciple said furiously.


    Later that day, the news of Zhao Feng using his spiritual pet to injure a Core disciple spread amongst the disciples. At night, the injured Huang Yunhu went to tell his master.


    "¡­it''s nothing that I was injured, but that Zhao Feng dared to disrespect the Kings and humiliate Master¡­!" Huang Yunhu cried. He was a disciple of a King and a Core disciple, but he had been humiliated by a youth who only just entered the clan. The hatred in his heart was unable to be dissolved.


    "Hmph, do you think you haven''t lost enough face yet?" King Lu Yun, clad in snow-white robes, snickered and said harshly.


    King Lun Yun was one of the seventeen Kings of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    The eyebrows of King Lu Yun slightly furrowed; he knew that this would leave a deep impression on his disciple, but as a King, he obviously wouldn''t attack a disciple.


    "How about this¡­ I''ll let you borrow a Sovereign Lord Rank Two-Headed Lightning Bird, and it can help you counter the Yinming Bird," King Lu Yun waved his hand, and a special token appeared in his hand. He circulated his King Intent and left a symbol on the token.


    "Thank you, Master!" Huang Yunhu was overjoyed. The Two-Headed Lightning Bird might not be his master''s strongest pet, but it was enough to suppress normal Sovereign Lords.


    "You need to defeat that brat with your own strength, but you can''t kill him," King Lu Yun ordered. He had already lent out his steed, meaning that he wanted to protect his disciple. If Huang Yunhu killed Zhao Feng, it would cause trouble. The Regulations Elder of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was an Emperor, and he was extremely righteous.


    "This disciple understands. I will cripple him but let him live," Huang Yunhu was overjoyed.


    He ate the spiritual pill his master gave him, and his leg healed with the help of Magnificent Power. On the second day, Huang Yunhu''s injuries had mainly healed, and he impatiently went to find Zhao Feng. However, Zhao Feng''s protective array was open and said that he was in seclusion.


    "Cunning bastard doesn''t even dare to come out¡­!" Huang Yunhu was enraged.


    "That Zhao Feng is indeed very shameless and entered seclusion."


    The disciples waiting to watch a good show were disappointed.


    "Senior Martial Brother Huang, there''s no need to worry," Senior Martial Brother Guang walked out from the crowd and smiled.


    "Junior Martial Brother Guang, what do you mean?" Huang Yunhu looked over.


    Guang Tian was also the disciple of a King, but he was only an in-name disciple, meaning that he barely had the status of a Core disciple.


    "Hehe, according to the rules of the clan, every disciple must complete a mission every month and can''t miss three months in a row. That Zhao Feng hasn''t completed any missions in the past two months," Guang Tian smiled.


    Hearing that, the disciples understood.


    "So that''s how it is. If he doesn''t do any missions within three months, he will be warned by the clan. If he doesn''t do any in half a year, he will be punished."


    The disciples knew the rules of the clan extremely well.


    "Haha¡­ Zhao Feng, you brat, I''ll let you hide here for a month," Huang Yunhu laughed.


    The clan would send people over a month later to warn Zhao Feng. This meant that Zhao Feng would be interrupted within one month.


    "Let''s go. The Divine Illusion Dimension will open in half a year."


    "If one is able to enter the Divine Illusion Dimension and obtain resources from the Ancient or Immemorial Era, it''ll be a great help to one''s cultivation."


    The Central disciples left and agreed to come back one month later and punish Zhao Feng.


    Within the courtyard, Zhao Feng was immersed in a layer of liquid as a sizzle of Wind Lightning was refining his body.


    "The Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body is split into eight levels. The seventh level can form a Demigod Lightning Body, and after adding the power of the five elements, it can block the God Tribulation. Every level before the seventh is relative to one major cultivation rank."


    Zhao Feng was currently cultivating the first level of the Sacred Lightning Body.


    The original Golden Kun Sacred Body had strict requirements, while the perfected version ¨C the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body ¨C could use lightning to refine one''s body. If one cultivated the Five Elemental Ten Thousand Technique or Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, that could lower the requirements and compliment it as well.


    Zhao Feng had reached the third level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and could now use the power of Wind Lightning to strengthen his body. In comparison, body-strengthening techniques took longer to progress, but Zhao Feng had drunk the Immortal Springs Wine and changed his state of existence and body. On top of that, he had rare resources to help as well.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng reached the peak of the first level of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. Half a month later, his Sacred Lightning Body had reached the late stages of the second level.


    There was a faint golden glow on his skin at this moment in time as faint as his Wind Lightning True Force, and an invisible physical pressure radiated from him.


    Crack!


    A nearby chair was crushed into pieces by this power.


    The time limit of one month was soon reached. Zhao Feng had reached the peak second level of the Sacred Lightning Body, and his muscles contained a dominating force. Physical strength was only one of the aspects though; the Sacred Lightning Body also strengthened Zhao Feng''s defense, giving him the ability to absorb lightning as well as resilience against elemental attacks.

 769 Testing out the Skill

    Chapter 769 - Testing out the Skill


    The first three levels of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body were related to the ranks of the True Spirit Realm. Zhao Feng just reached the peak second level and could now rival a True Mystic Rank with his physical strength alone. If he reached the third level, he could kill True Lord Ranks with his body alone, and he would be unrivalled against those below the Origin Core Realm. However, the first three levels were just the foundation of the Sacred Lightning Body.


    "My lifeforce and body aren''t strong enough or else I could enter the Ancient Dream Realm and gather more resources."


    A plan appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind, but the resources needed for body-strengthening exceeded his original estimation. The amount of resources needed to cultivate the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique at the same time was enormous, and Zhao Feng guessed that, if he couldn''t enter the Ancient Dream Realm soon, he would face a resource crisis when he was at the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Apart from that, the recovery of his soul would also need rare items. Only when his soul-strength returned to the Void God Realm level would his Emperor Intent re-awaken. He didn''t have many items that could recover his soul.


    "Resources¡­." Zhao Feng''s eyebrows locked together as he started to think.


    He finally understood why the child Demigod wanted resources so badly. Of course, if he didn''t use any resources and just cultivated on his own, he could return to his peak within a dozen years, but Zhao Feng didn''t want to wait that long.


    "I need to become a King within three years."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled as he soon had some thoughts about how to make money:


    One; he could tame beasts. If there were some more rare beasts such as the Yinming Bird, he would be rolling in money.


    Two; going out to explore some ruins and secret realms to find ancient treasures.


    Three; complete missions for the clan. The more complicated missions had bountiful rewards, and the contribution points could be exchanged for precious resources.


    The first and third methods were relatively safer and had a more stable income while the second method was more risky.


    Right as Zhao Feng was thinking:


    "Zhao Feng!" a thunderous voice sounded from outside and passed straight through his protective array.


    "Hmm?"


    Zhao Feng walked out of the room and found that there was a Regulator in purple robes outside. His cultivation had reached the Great Origin Core Realm.


    "Regulator, is there a problem?"


    Zhao Feng had a weird expression. Under normal situations, as long as one didn''t go against the rules of the clan, Regulators wouldn''t talk to the disciples.


    He saw some Central disciples from the corner of his eye who had gloating expressions. Amongst them were Huang Yunhu, Wang Yuan, and Senior Martial Brother Guang.


    "Zhao Feng, you haven''t completed any missions within three months. I''m here to warn you and stop your resources for the next three months," the purple-robed Regulator looked coldly at Zhao Feng.


    Stopping three months of resources was a big thing for normal disciples. Without resources, one would fall behind others in such a competitive environment.


    "If you haven''t completed any missions in half a year, you will be severely punished and reported to the clan," the purple-robed Regulator said before leaving.


    Zhao Feng was slightly dazed. He had been cultivating the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique for the past three months and had forgotten about this.


    I''ll complete all the missions required for one year and get some resources as well, Zhao Feng decided.


    Three months'' worth of resources pained him. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat that was important for Zhao Feng who was re-cultivating.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng deactivated the protective array and got ready to complete some missions and tame some beasts.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ve been waiting for a long time," a skinny male leapt out and blocked Zhao Feng.


    It was Huang Yunhu. He had waited an entire month for this. Now that he had the flying pet of King Lu Yun, he could use it to handle Zhao Feng''s Yinming Bird.


    "Just someone I''ve defeated before," Zhao Feng looked at him with disdain.


    Hearing that, the crowd broke out into discussion.


    Huang Yunhu was furious. This True Mystic Rank brat was looking down on him.


    "Zhao Feng, you relied on your pet last time. You dare to say such a thing out loud?"


    "This brat doesn''t know what shamelessness is."


    The nearby Central disciples felt their faces go red for Zhao Feng and laughed at him. They all knew that Huang Yunhu had something to rely on this time.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t fight him!" the voice of a female sounded, "Huang Yunhu borrowed his master''s Two-Headed Lightning Bird this time, and it has a cultivation of the Great Origin Core."


    Senior Martial Sister Wan?


    Zhao Feng looked over and saw Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong run over. Her elegant aura attracted the gaze of nearby males.


    "Senior Martial Sister Wan doesn''t need to worry. This defeated loser is nothing," Zhao Feng smiled faintly. He had good feelings toward Senior Martial Sister Wan. It was her that healed him when he had taken over this body.


    "Brat, don''t get cocky," Huang Yunhu felt humiliated; a measly True Mystic Rank youth was looking down on him. After saying this, he took out a special token, which contained a wisp of King Intent.


    In the next instant:


    Hu~~


    A Two-Headed Lightning Bird appeared in the sky. Its size was slightly bigger than Zhao Feng''s Yinming Bird.


    "King Intent?" Zhao Feng murmured. It wasn''t hard for him to see that it was due to King Intent that Huang Yunhu could control the Two-Headed Lightning Bird, otherwise his half-step Origin Core Realm cultivation wouldn''t even be able to fit through the gaps of the Two-Headed Lightning Bird''s teeth.


    Pa!


    Without any hesitation, Zhao Feng summoned a dark flaming bird that took him into the sky.


    Whoosh!


    Huang Yunhu and Zhao Feng both rose into the air. The powerful clashes of Origin Core Realm birds raised the attention of many members of the clan.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The Two-Headed Lightning Bird and the Yinming Bird fought in the air while Zhao Feng and Huang Yunhu pulled away.


    The two were weaker than the birds. Apart from his soul, Intent, and eye-bloodline, Zhao Feng wasn''t strong enough to face the Two-Headed Lightning Bird or the Yinming Bird.


    "Hahaha! Brat, you won''t be able to escape this time," Huang Yunhu roared with laughter as he circulated his half-step True Yuan, turned into a beam of scarlet-brown light, and charged toward Zhao Feng.


    "As expected of a Core disciple!"


    The force of the half-step Origin Core Realm stunned the nearby spectating Central disciples. Wang Yuan and Senior Martial Brother Guang had bright smiles.


    The difference between the True Mystic Rank and the half-step Origin Core Realm was very big. If Zhao Feng was at the True Lord Rank, he may have been able to fight back, but those at the True Mystic Rank would be slaughtered by half-step Origin Core Realms.


    Whoosh~~~~!


    Huang Yunhu charged toward Zhao Feng, and normal True Mystic Ranks wouldn''t have the ability to fight back.


    "Huang Yunhu¡­ stop!" Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong yelled, but Zhao Feng still had a casual expression.


    Shua!


    A pair of wings of Wind Lightning extended behind Zhao Feng''s back.


    With a flash of lightning:


    Boom!


    Huang Yunhu''s charge hit the air, and he almost fell over.


    "What!?" Huang Yunhu felt a blur pass his eyes, and the hum of lightning and howl of wind sounded behind his back as a figure with wings flashed behind him.


    "Wind Lightning Hand Blade!"


    Zhao Feng''s hand was covered in a layer of sharp Wind Lightning.


    Crack!


    Huang Yunhu screamed as the Wind Lightning Hand Blade caused blood to splatter and sent him sprawling into a building nearby. The damage from this one move alone severely injured him.


    The nearby spectators broke out into chaos.


    "What speed!"


    "Those wings of Wind Lightning seem to be the Wind Lightning Technique of our clan."


    Only a small number of people saw what happened. Huang Yunhu had underestimated his opponent, and Zhao Feng had used outstanding speed to appear behind the enemy''s back and use a lightning-quick attack. What was more incredible was that Zhao Feng''s damage contained surprising physical strength that caught Huang Yunhu off guard.


    The move just now contained the power of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body.


    "I underestimated my opponent¡­." Huang Yunhu gritted his teeth and muttered in a chattering tone as he crawled up.


    The handsome youth with wings floating in the air seemed to be an angel of war.


    "Zhao Feng¡­ is this your strength?" Wan Rong''s eyes twinkled with shock and puzzlement. She knew a little bit about this youth who had just entered the clan. In just a short span of two or three months, how could he have changed so much?


    "Wind Lightning Exploding Fist!"


    Zhao Feng''s hand turned into a fist that radiated an eye-catching explosion of Wind Lightning.


    "Infinite Earth!"


    Huang Yunhu''s body became covered with a scarlet-brown light that turned him into a small mountain.


    Boom! Bam~~~~!


    The two figures clashed in the air, and an explosion sounded.


    Shua!


    A figure with wings used his power to evade.


    Wah!


    On the other hand, the other figure spat out a mouthful of blood and was pushed back amidst the shockwave.


    "Huang Yunhu, you''ve lost again."


    The wings behind Zhao Feng dimmed and faded away. In the clash just now, he used his powerful physical defense and reaction speed to avoid injury while Huang Yunhu''s face became white as he lost the majority of his battle-power.


    It''s all because I underestimated my opponent and was severely injured from the beginning, otherwise the chances of victory would''ve been 50%, Huang Yunhu felt humiliated and his fists were trembling.


    Zhao Feng saying "you''ve lost again" made him go crazy, but there was nothing he could do.


    The nearby spectators that witnessed this clicked their tongues. However, none of them knew that this was just the start of the rise of a legend.

 770 Lord Dynasty Mission

    Chapter 770 - Lord Dynasty Mission


    Huang Yunhu''s defeat made the present Central disciples unable to accept reality, especially those who knew Zhao Feng.


    Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong''s eyes locked on to Zhao Feng with shock and suspicion. She felt that this current Zhao Feng was different than the one from before in terms of both strength and aura. As if sensing her gaze, the handsome Zhao Feng smiled and locked eyes with Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong.


    Zhao Feng wasn''t just handsome; he also contained an indescribable confidence. His charm could make the hearts of most females speed up.


    When their eyes met, Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong''s heart started to thump. The pair of mysterious eyes seemed to contain a soul-attracting charm, and she fell into them. Her face started to go red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.


    She was unable to accept this. She was usually quiet and calm ¨C when had she ever acted like this before? However, that youth left an image in her heart and gave her a different feeling.


    Zhao Feng smiled and took back his gaze. Just now, he used a "heart-controlling technique" on Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong in order to resolve her suspicions and increase her good will toward him. This meant that Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong wouldn''t be suspicious of him for the moment. At the least, she wouldn''t think of the worst situation.


    Zhao Feng didn''t want to kill her because she became too suspicious. The heart-controlling technique could solve many small matters for Zhao Feng.


    Apart from Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong, there aren''t many people in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan who knew Zhao Feng very well, Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    The Zhao Feng from before was an extreme loner, and not many people knew him well. This meant that his rise in the future wouldn''t attract too much suspicion. After all, there were too many geniuses who met fortune.


    "Huang Yunhu, you''ve already lost ¨C take back the Two-Headed Lightning Bird."


    Zhao Feng''s gaze turned to the sky. The Two-Headed Lightning Bird and the Yinming Bird were still fighting, and the latter would lose if time dragged on since its cultivation was weaker.


    Right as this moment, a surge of King Intent passed through the air and forced the token in Huang Yunhu''s hand to glow. The Two-Headed Lightning Bird disappeared with a flash of lightning.


    Only a small number of people present were able to sense the King Intent, including Zhao Feng.


    The King Intent landed on Zhao Feng for a short while. At the same moment in time, within a King''s palace in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan:


    "That brat''s technique is extremely mystical, and he has a weird aura. If he doesn''t have a master, then he must''ve met great fortune," King Lu Yun murmured as he started to pay attention to Zhao Feng. If he performed well in the next half a year, King Lu Yun would consider taking him in as a Core disciple.


    Whoosh!


    The Yinming Bird took Zhao Feng and flew away.


    "This Zhao Feng''s strength increased dramatically in the past couple months."


    "He definitely has some sort of secret fortune on him."


    The disciples below started to discuss.


    Huang Yunhu''s expression was ugly as he struggled to stand up. Wang Yuan, Senior Martial Brother Guang, and company quickly helped him up.


    "I didn''t expect this Zhao Feng to obtain good fortune and become this much stronger. The clan''s missions won''t pose much of a threat to him," Senior Martial Brother Guang''s expression kept on flickering. Zhao Feng''s true strength had exceeded his expectations.


    I need to tell the Yin family quickly or else Zhao Feng will become a big threat, Senior Martial Brother Guang quickly decided.


    Elsewhere, Zhao Feng sat on the Yinming Bird and arrived at the Hall of Missions.


    Since he hadn''t completed any missions in three months, he needed to do three, but he didn''t put them in his eyes. He was preparing to grind some missions, including the extremely difficult ones, in order to gather resources and contribution points.


    Within a side hall:


    "Zhao Feng, as you haven''t completed any missions for three months, I will distribute the missions to you," a sharp-eyed Regulator said coldly.


    Zhao Feng remained expressionless as he awaited the distribution. The next three missions were punishments, so he had no power to choose which ones he wanted. On top of that, there would be no rewards for completing them.


    Zhao Feng soon received his first mission. The task was to kill Mud Poison Lizards and gather twenty Mud Poison Hearts.


    The Mud Poison Lizards weren''t very strong. A True Human Rank could easily kill many at once, but Zhao Feng soon saw the difficulty of this mission; Mud Poison Lizards lived in hordes and were counted by the hundreds. There was also a Lizard King in every group whose strength was comparable to the True Lord Rank. Furthermore, these lizards lived in the depths of the swamp where Zhao Feng''s Yinming Bird couldn''t do much.


    It was obvious that this mission was to purposely trouble Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng accepted the mission expressionlessly and then sat on the Yinming Bird, which reached a swamp after four hours of flying.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng had gathered a thousand Mud Poison Hearts. On top of that, he had tamed two True Lord Rank Mud Poison Lizard Kings.


    Mud Poison Lizard Kings were resilient against poison, and they even had a unique ability that could petrify other beings. Its defense was also extremely strong.


    Zhao Feng exchanged the thousand Mud Poison Hearts for contribution points and auctioned the two Mud Poison Lizard Kings in the market. The price of already-tamed beasts could go for as much as a dozen times higher than normal beasts.


    "The second mission."


    Zhao Feng then awaited the second distributed task.


    The Regulator with a dark face was surprised, then he gave the second mission to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he read the contents of the mission. This mission was a team task, and it was slightly more difficult.


    On the second day, in front of the Hall of Missions:


    "Is everyone ready?" a drunken old man at the Origin Core Realm inspected Zhao Feng and a dozen more people.


    The leader was an expert at the Origin Core Realm. From this, one could see that this mission wasn''t too easy.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze scanned over the group and saw that most of them had bad attitudes. They were all people that hadn''t completed any missions either and were grouped together. Zhao Feng lost confidence when he saw this group of drunkards.


    "I''ll be leaving first," Zhao Feng decided to work alone.


    "Brat, you don''t even know the specifics of the mission, how are you going to do it yourself?" the Origin Core Realm leader mocked. Being the leader, he held all the important information.


    Miao miao!


    Right at this moment, a little silver-gray cat grabbed a scroll and landed on Zhao Feng.


    "Ah! My mission scroll!" the Origin Core Realm leader instantly became much more clear-minded and roared in anger.


    However, Zhao Feng was already sitting on the Yinming Bird, and the group could only look at him fly away. The cursing and swearing of the group caused many other people nearby to look over.


    "The second mission is to destroy a rising group of bandits in the northern mountains of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Apparently, the leader broke through to the Origin Core Realm half a year ago and is now a great threat," Zhao Feng summarized to himself.


    The mission scroll included the location and strengths of the bandits.


    Several hours later, the Yinming Bird arrived at the place. Zhao Feng scanned his God''s Spiritual Eye around several thousand miles.


    Screams soon sounded from an underground palace, and a bloodthirsty Yinming Bird left the tattered palace. In just the time it took half an incense stick to burn, Zhao Feng had plundered the entire stronghold and taken the bandits'' heads.


    Back in the Hall of Missions:


    "The second mission is complete," Zhao Feng handed over the heads to the Regulator.


    "I heard that you left the group and completed the mission on your own?" the Regulator had a weird expression as he triple-checked Zhao Feng had indeed completed the task and that the heads were real.


    To prevent others from troubling him, Zhao Feng had even recorded the process of destroying the hideout. The Regulator was speechless.


    "I''m sorry, but the third mission is also a team task," a playful smile appeared on the Regulator''s face as he opened a scroll.


    Zhao Feng rolled his eyes.


    "But don''t worry. This mission is more unique, and the members are not trash like the ones from before," the Regulator added.


    Unique mission? Zhao Feng took over the scroll and read it. This mission wasn''t much of a secret.


    "Unique mission: Destroy the lord dynasty of the natives. Contents: In the southwestern region of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, a new lord dynasty has appeared and is humiliating the power of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty¡­."


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but take a cold breath when he saw the contents.


    The members were all extremely strong. The leader and deputy leader were both at the Great Origin Core Realm. Apart from them, there were also seven Small Origin Core Realms and around fifty True Spirit Realms. This was the first time Zhao Feng had joined such a strong group.


    In the members list, Zhao Feng also saw Senior Martial Sister Wan and Senior Martial Brother Guang.


    On the morning of the next day, this powerful group assembled in front of the hall. The leader was an elder with a white beard and white robes. He had a strict expression, and an invisible force radiated from him.


    "Everyone knows that the southeastern regions of the continent zone and the nearby limitless ocean is the territory of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty," the white-robed elder paused.


    Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Zhao Feng didn''t know much about Lord Dynasties since he only just started to re-cultivate, but he knew that the Cang Ocean was theoretically the territory of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "The Great Gan Lord Dynasty gathers the fortune of a lord dynasty from around their territory and will not tolerate another lord dynasty appearing in its territories," a cold light flashed through the white-robed elder''s eyes.


    This mission was to destroy a lord dynasty ¨C a nation that had surpassed the level of a great country.


    Zhao Feng and Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong stood next to each other.


    "This unique mission was set by the Duke Palace who rules the Tianfeng Great Island Zone. The final reward is extremely plentiful," Wan Rong said in a low tone.


    Zhao Feng realized that, in the world of cultivation, it wasn''t just clans and sects that ruled the world. The Great Gan Lord Dynasty ruled its territories extremely strictly.

 771 Marriage 1

    Chapter 771 - Marriage (1)


    Lord dynasties were different from mere countries. They stood above countless lives, families, and clans, they gathered the nearby fortune, and they were supremely divine entities.


    The leader of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty ¨C the Great Gan Sacred Emperor ¨C had once slain millions in anger and dyed the sky red with blood. Even two-star and three-star forces would be shaken by a lord dynasty.


    The laws of the lord dynasty stated that no other dynasty could be formed in their territory.


    In theory, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was controlled by the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    This mission¡­ it doesn''t seem to be set by the clan. Instead, it comes from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Zhao Feng knew what this meant. The Tianfeng Great Island Zone had forces from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty ¨C the Duke Palace.


    The Duke Palace was owned by a duke who was a relative of the Great Gan imperials, and they were in control of the area around the Tianfeng Great Island Zone. The resources of this place alone surpassed the total amount in both the Tianlu Island Zone and the Azure Green Island Zone.


    "Is everyone here? I''m going to call out the names." A powerful aura radiated from the leading elder in white robes.


    The elder in white would ask anyone he wasn''t familiar with about their specialties. When he read the name "Zhao Feng," he paused for a bit.


    "My specialty is beast taming," Zhao Feng reached out and caressed the little thieving cat''s soft fur and replied in a simple tone.


    The elder in white revealed a weird expression. This True Mystic Rank kid in front of him had no signs of respect or awe for a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.


    On the other side, coldness flashed through Senior Martial Brother Guang''s eyes.


    Zhao Feng, this will be your final mission. Senior Martial Brother Guang concealed his emotions as he came over and started to talk to Wan Rong next to Zhao Feng.


    He liked this quiet and nice beauty. In the past, he had already gained some of her trust and good will. However, Senior Martial Brother Guang realized that Zhao Feng and Junior Martial Sister Wan Rong were acting very close; Wan Rong would smile more in front of Zhao Feng.


    This bastard, I''ll let you be smug for a few days¡­. Senior Martial Brother Guang suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.


    The group soon entered a limitless ocean ship and exited the Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    Zhao Feng gazed at the faint purple bubble surrounding the great island zone as he entered the limitless ocean. He could see the outlines of rivers and mountains.


    An island zone had to be five to ten times bigger than normal island zones to be called a "great island zone," and the environment must be better as well.


    Zhao Feng also realized that, the closer one was to the continent zone, the thicker and denser the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi would be. Even the pressure from the air would be slightly stronger. This meant that, if one had the strength to destroy a city in the Cang Ocean, they would only be able to destroy a village in the continent zone.


    The speed of the limitless ocean ship was very fast; it was close to the speed of the ghost ship. It was obvious that the Great Gan Lord Dynasty was more advanced than the Cang Ocean.


    Three days later, the ship entered an island zone similar to the Azure Flower Continent with very little Yuan Qi.


    "This is the Empty Zone. Everyone¡­ get ready to fight!" the elder in white roared.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and stopped cultivating.


    Over the past few days, his cultivation had reached the peak True Mystic Rank, and he would be able to break through to the True Lord Rank soon. Zhao Feng was satisfied with his progress.


    Whoosh!


    The ship passed through the barrier and caused sparks to fly.


    This island zone is so similar to the Azure Flower Continent. Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    From what he knew, this Empty Zone was at the border of the Tianfeng Great island Zone''s territory. This island zone was extremely chaotic, and no one cared about this place. On top of that, the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s control over the limitless ocean was not as strong as it used to be in the past. For example, the Great Gan Lord Dynasty could do nothing about the Cang Ocean.


    Two hours later, a palace appeared in sight.


    "Kill everyone in the palace and any True Spirit Realms that escape," the white-robed elder ordered.


    As soon as he gave the order, an explosion sounded.


    Boom~~~~!


    An Earth-grade axe descended from the air and shot toward the palace. In just an instant, the palace was turned into flat land. The city where the palace was located was also hit by the shockwave, and screams started to sound.


    All the Origin Core Realm and True Lord Rank experts within the capital counter-attacked with red eyes. To be able to create a lord dynasty meant that their strength wasn''t weak.


    However, the current group attacking them was led by Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lords, and the Sovereign Lords all had complete Earth-grade weapons. On top of that, the strength of cultivators from a peak two-star sect easily surpassed those who were born in this tiny island zone even if they had the same cultivation.


    An onslaught began. In the beginning, the lord dynasty was able to fight back, but by the end, they were completely slaughtered.


    "The lord dynasty of the Azure Flower Continent was probably destroyed just like this," Zhao Feng murmured.


    He was responsible for the True Spirit Realms that were escaping.


    "You are all frogs at the bottom of the well and yet you dare to steal fortune from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty!?"


    The white-robed Sovereign Lord''s battle-power was extremely great, and he slew two Origin Core Realms. At this moment in time, there were several Origin Core Realms attacking him, but they were all forced back by him alone. While fighting, the white-robed elder even gave orders to chase after some people who were escaping.


    Zhao Feng, Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong, and the True Spirit Realms of their group were responsible for killing the weaker people.


    With the protection of some experts, some of the native imperials headed toward a hidden place for safety.


    Zhao Feng was one of the people responsible for chasing after the escaping imperials. The imperials either fought back and were killed or begged to live while kneeling down.


    Zhao Feng didn''t kill anyone that surrendered. In reality, no one was right or wrong. They were just on different sides. A mountain couldn''t have two tigers, and the Great Gan Lord Dynasty couldn''t allow another lord dynasty to appear within their territory.


    At a certain moment:


    "Watch out! Ambush!"


    Zhao Feng charged into a canyon and suddenly heard some cries of other clan members nearby.


    "Argh! Arghhhh!"


    One Origin Core Realm and several True Spirit Realms were slain.


    Who is it? Zhao Feng''s eyes squinted as he stood up on the back of the Yinming Bird.


    "Zhao Feng, you can only blame yourself for standing out too much. Today shall be the day you die," a raspy voice sounded as a short, masked elder walked out. His Earth-grade dagger still had blood on it.


    Apart from him, there were seven additional powerful auras. The weakest of them had reached the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm. This group of people all wore black robes and masks.


    "Two Sovereign Lords and six Sovereigns. Looks like the Yin family thinks rather highly of me," Zhao Feng mocked. He acted no differently even though there were so many people in front of him.


    This scene made the short elder and company become suspicious and wary.


    "Brat, you''re still pretending to be tough even though you''re about to die?" a cold voice of a female sounded. It came from a skinny female in black robes, and a layer of dark flames surrounded her. She cultivated the rare elements of Death and Soul, and her gaze was locked on to the Yinming Bird.


    It was obvious that this was all planned.


    There must be some sort of spy within the group if the Yin family is able to ambush me with such precision, Zhao Feng thought, but he already knew who the spy was.


    The clan wouldn''t be too suspicious if Zhao Feng was killed during the mission. The culprit could just frame the natives.


    "To make sure the night is short, kill him right now!" The short Great Origin Core Realm elder gripped the Earth-grade dagger and disappeared into the darkness.


    Shuu~~


    A piercing cold Intent stabbed toward Zhao Feng''s dantian. The short elder specialized in assassination.


    However, his figure instantly froze when his Earth-grade dagger got near Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    A mysterious dark dagger pierced through the elder''s head.


    "How¡­?" The short elder froze as blood dripped onto the ground. The person who killed him also specialized in assassination, but they were far more skilled than himself.


    Miao miao!


    A little silver-gray cat appeared behind the short elder and turned into a streak of dark silver light.


    Shu! Shu! Shu!


    A bloody hole appeared in each of the nearby Origin Core Realm experts'' chests.


    At the end, only the skinny female was left behind. The eyes of this female were filled with fear, and her back was drenched in cold sweat. She had obviously been stunned by the little thieving cat.


    Zhao Feng was right about to attack when he heard the sound of flying.


    "Young Master Zhao Feng, last a bit longer! We''re here to save you~~~~!"


    Several Origin Core Realm auras started to close in. The leader was an elder in gray who had reached the peak Great Origin Core Realm. He held an Earth-grade sword and stabbed toward the skinny female.


    The female was about to dodge, but Zhao Feng thrust out a palm. The palm seemed to contain magic as a misty illusion appeared.


    Boom! Bam!


    The female remained motionless as the combined attacks of the elder in gray and Zhao Feng killed her.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The elder and several Origin Core Realms appeared.


    "Zhao Feng, it''s good that you''re okay." The leading elder let out a long breath and wiped the sweat off his forehead.


    These people were elders of the Zhao Family. They had received some information and came to rescue Zhao Feng.


    "Elders and Uncles, you''re here right on time," Zhao Feng said slowly.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sat on his shoulder with a disdainful expression.


    The leading elder and company couldn''t help but become covered with sweat, and they had somewhat awkward expressions. If it weren''t for the little thieving cat, they might have arrived only to see Zhao Feng''s corpse.


    "This is Senior Thieving Cat, who I met several months ago," Zhao Feng introduced.


    "Greetings, Senior Thieving Cat."


    The leading elder and company had solemn expressions. This cat had easily killed the experts of the Yin family, including a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat had a pleasurable expression as it acted like a senior. The elders of the Zhao Family were surprised.


    "Zhao Feng, I didn''t expect you to meet such fortune. With Senior Thieving Cat here, we won''t be worried about your safety," the elder in gray said.


    After talking for a while, his words suddenly twisted; "Zhao Feng, I''ve come to discuss something with you. I hope you''re ready for it."


    "Oh? What is it?"


    "Cough cough¡­ it''s about your and Lady Shui''er''s marriage¡­."

 772 Marriage 2

    Chapter 772 - Marriage (2)


    Marriage? Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed. He had decided to try to fulfill all the wishes of the original owner of this body ¨C apart from the marriage.


    In his memories, his fianc¨¦e Luo Shui''er was a famed beauty who already had an elegant aura even when she was only fifteen years old. On top of that, she was extremely talented; she became the disciple of a Peak-tier King a year ago.


    Of course, no matter how charming she was, Zhao Feng felt that she was just the fianc¨¦e of the previous Zhao Feng. Only one''s true thoughts really mattered. Even though he had revived in a new body, Zhao Feng was still Zhao Feng.


    He had already decided what to do with this "fianc¨¦e"¨C break off the engagement.


    The elder in gray spoke, "Feng''er, I know that you''ve liked that Luo Shui''er for a long time, but I have to tell you something."


    Hearing up to there, Zhao Feng paused. Was there some sort of situation here?


    "Apparently, she has the intention to break off the engagement, mainly because the Eighth Prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty saw her," the elder in gray said unwillingly.


    Zhao Feng met Luo Shui''er once a year ago. At that moment in time, Zhao Feng was attracted by her aura and beauty, and Luo Shui''er didn''t have a bad impression of him. After all, Zhao Feng was a genius, and he was known for his looks.


    "Elder, you mean to say that the Luo Family wants to go back on their word?"


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng tried his best to suppress his excitement and joy. Go back on their word? That''s a good thing! Zhao Feng was overjoyed; he really wanted nothing more than to break the connection between him and this fianc¨¦e.


    The elder in gray couldn''t help but pause and look at Zhao Feng in surprise. The youth wasn''t angry like he imagined; on the contrary, he even seemed happy.


    "The Luo Family does indeed have intentions of going back on their word, but we have to see what Luo Shui''er says as well. However, the Eighth Prince is of noble status, and he has an Imperial Dao bloodline. The Luo Family won''t be able to decline," the elder in gray said solemnly.


    "Eighth Prince¡­ Imperial Dao bloodline¡­?" Zhao Feng felt puzzled. The Eighth Prince was in the capital of the continent zone; how could he have even seen Luo Shui''er?


    A prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty ¨C how noble was this status? Even a Core disciple of a three-star superpower was far away.


    The elder in gray started to explain, "This is because of Luo Shui''er''s elder brother, Luo Zun. Luo Zun is an incredible person and has the title of being the top genius of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone. He is now a Void God Realm King."


    Luo Zun? Zhao Feng''s memories contained information about him.


    The original Zhao Feng admired Luo Zun greatly. Luo Zun had become a Void God Realm King at the age of thirty-two and became famous across the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "After entering the continent zone, the lord dynasty gave Luo Zun the title of Earl, and he became good friends with the Eighth Prince. Recently, Luo Zun accompanied the Eighth Prince to the Tianfeng Great Island Zone and went to visit the Duke Palace, where he saw Luo Shui''er unintentionally."


    The gray-clothed elder told him the story, and Zhao Feng started to think. This was, without a doubt, good news to him. Furthermore, the Yunling Zhao Family couldn''t offend the Eighth Prince anyway.


    "If that''s the case, then let''s just cancel the marriage," Zhao Feng said decisively.


    Cancel the marriage? The gray-clothed elder and company felt weird. Not only was Zhao Feng not angry, he even suggested canceling the marriage.


    "Zhao Feng, it''s good that you''ve thought it through. We were mainly worried that Luo Shui''er''s older brother would come to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and put pressure on you."


    "That''s right, although that Luo Zun''s a prodigy, he''s extremely deadly and forceful."


    The elders were all wary and respectful when they mentioned Luo Zun.


    "Don''t worry, let''s sort the marriage like that," Zhao Feng waved his hand somewhat impatiently.


    The eyes of the elder in gray twinkled. He was about to say something, but he stopped. He inspected Zhao Feng and somehow felt that Zhao Feng was different.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The members of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan arrived at this moment. Amongst them was Senior Martial Brother Guang.


    Seeing the image in front of him, Senior Martial Brother Guang was obviously surprised.


    This Zhao Feng''s just far too lucky. The elders of his family arrived just on time. Anger appeared in Senior Martial Brother Guang''s eyes.


    How many times had Zhao Feng survived from the Wuyou Forest till now? He managed to survive every damn time.


    Zhao Feng said goodbye to the seniors of the Zhao Family, and his sharp eyes glanced over at Senior Martial Brother Guang.


    Senior Martial Brother Guang felt cold. Zhao Feng''s eyes made him feel uneasy.


    This Senior Martial Brother Guang has gotten together with the Yin Family many times to try to kill me, but he''s the disciple of a King. I''ll wait for the right moment to finish him off. Zhao Feng had his own plans.


    In the Empty Zone, the new lord dynasty was destroyed in one night. The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had little losses; the entire process was just an onslaught.


    Later that day, the group boarded their ship and left the Empty Zone, leaving behind a legend.


    Creating a lord dynasty was forbidden. This legend would continue for generations in the Empty Zone, just like in the Azure Flower Continent.


    Within the ship, Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong soon learned about Zhao Feng being ambushed, and she wanted to check Zhao Feng''s injuries.


    It wasn''t hard for others to see that Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong thought well of Zhao Feng.


    Seeing the calm and kind Junior Martial Sister get close with Zhao Feng made Senior Martial Brother Guang burn with jealousy, but everyone from the Yin Family died this time.


    Zhao Feng felt helpless against Senior Martial Sister Wan Rong''s kindness. At the beginning, in order to resolve her suspicions, he used a heart-controlling technique to affect her emotions and make her think well of him, but he didn''t expect that to turn into her current emotions.


    Zhao Feng didn''t dare to use the heart-controlling technique too much. For example, if he used it on Senior Martial Brother Guang, his master would sense it.


    However, Zhao Feng had to admit that he liked the feeling of watching Senior Martial Brother Guang being jealous and angry.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, there''s still five months till the Divine Illusion Dimension opens. If you put in some more effort, you might have a chance," Senior Martial Sister Wan couldn''t help but say as she remembered it.


    When mentioning the Divine Illusion Dimension, several younger disciples couldn''t help but become excited.


    "Apparently, the Divine Illusion Dimension is a dimension left behind by an Ancient God in the Divine Area, and it connects with the continent once every hundred years."


    "The Divine Illusion Dimension contains resources from the Ancient and Immemorial Eras."


    "Many extinct items can be obtained from the Divine Illusion Dimension¡­."


    Several disciples discussed. Even the eyes of Senior Martial Brother Guang lit up.


    Zhao Feng understood what the Division Illusion Dimension was about from Senior Martial Sister Wan.


    Firstly, the Divine Illusion Dimension wasn''t owned by any single force. Apparently, this dimension was created by a God, and it rotated around the continent zone. In other words, as long as any force, family, or clan had the ability, they could enter it.


    However, because the pathway of the dimension was weak, it would become unstable if anyone at the Void God Realm entered. Usually, all the forces would send half-step Kings or weaker into it, but there were also a few that sent in Void God Realm Kings safely.


    The Divine Illusion Dimension wasn''t an inheritance; it was just an abandoned dimension that would connect with the continent zone every hundred years. Furthermore, there was no age limit to enter it. The only restriction was cultivation, meaning that older experts could also enter.


    It could be said that it was a stage for the entire continent zone. One could meet imperials, geniuses of big families, and even experts of other species in there. Even members of three-star and four-star powers would appear in the Divine Illusion Dimension, and it didn''t matter how young or old they were.


    This was also why the Central disciples were excited by the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "Since this is a different dimension that has a lot of resources, I definitely can''t miss it," Zhao Feng said. He was like the child Demigod; his eyes shone whenever he heard the word "resources."


    Hearing that, everyone in the ship laughed.


    "Kid, you''re not even at the True Lord Rank yet and you''re thinking about entering the Divine Illusion Dimension to compete with others for resources?" an Origin Core Realm elder said playfully.


    The older generation cultivators were also extremely interested in the Divine Illusion Dimension, but there were fewer spots for them because most forces wanted to leave them for the younger generation disciples who had more potential. Furthermore, there were some fortunes within the Divine Illusion Dimension that had age and talent requirements.


    "Hahaha, Junior Martial Brother Zhao, I think you should wait for the next one in a hundred years. Throughout the history of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, the weakest cultivators to enter were at the peak True Lord Rank." Senior Martial Brother Guang laughed as he finally found the chance to look down on Zhao Feng.


    Of course, he forgot that Zhao Feng had a spiritual pet, but spiritual pets couldn''t be used unless they had an actual contract with the owner. Besides, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had no restriction on cultivation in the competition for the spots.


    Three days later, the limitless ocean ship reached the Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    Back in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, in the Hall of Missions, the group received plentiful rewards. Being the leader, the elder in white robes got the most. Zhao Feng received an amount that normal True Spirit Realms would be moved by.


    After turning in the mission, Zhao Feng went back to the market and claimed the Primal Crystal Stones he had made from selling the two Mud Poison Lizard Kings. This increased his wealth dramatically.


    He used the rewards and those Primal Crystal Stones to trade for some body-strengthening materials. The main issue now was that the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body required a lot of effort and resources.


    "Do you guys know that the number one genius of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone will be coming to visit the clan?"


    "Luo Zun is one of the youngest Kings in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty."


    "Apparently, a mysterious person arrived as well, and several Elders of the clan went to personally greet that person¡­."


    Zhao Feng heard the discussion while returning to his place. This made his eyebrows furrow: Luo Shui''er''s older brother came so quickly?


    Zhao Feng immediately opened the protective array and entered seclusion when he got back.


    He didn''t want his re-cultivation plans to be interrupted.

 773 Five Elemental Wind Lightning

    Chapter 773 - Five Elemental Wind Lightning


    Zhao Feng now had some resources that he could use to focus on the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. He needed to prepare to breakthrough to the third level of the Sacred Lightning Body.


    Drip! Drip!


    Zhao Feng''s body was covered in a body-strengthening liquid, and wisps of Wind Lightning appeared from within his body and started to strengthen it.


    Usually, body-strengthening techniques took a long time to progress, and they required strong will. Luckily, Zhao Feng had used the Immortal Springs Wine and other items earlier, which changed his body dramatically. Although his body-strengthening hadn''t reached a high level, his state of existence was close to the Small Origin Core Realm.


    The Sacred Lightning Body could use the Wind Lightning Technique to strengthen one''s body; therefore, with enough resources, Zhao Feng could progress extremely quickly. One could say he was becoming stronger by leaps and bounds.


    As Zhao Feng was cultivating:


    Weng! Weng!


    Two Magnificent Powers appeared above the courtyard, and the air seemed to freeze. Two young figures were revealed as the light faded, and both of them were dragons amongst men.


    "Eighth Prince, this should be where that Zhao Feng lives," a bulky youth with thick eyebrows and wearing a black coat said. His eyes were as sharp as lightning and contained an unknown force.


    "Luo Zun, don''t be rash," the Eighth Prince raised his hand and smiled. "If others were to know that I''m stealing someone else''s fianc¨¦e by using the status of a prince, that''ll tarnish the name of the imperials."


    In comparison to Luo Zun''s forcefulness, the Eighth Prince was calm and elegant. Putting aside his status, the Eighth Prince was also a genius who was extremely handsome.


    At this moment in time, many people had gathered around Zhao Feng''s courtyard. After all, two Kings had personally appeared. Of course, most didn''t know the status of the Eighth Prince.


    "Brother Luo? Are you here to find Zhao Feng? That brat seems to have heard some news beforehand and entered seclusion right away when he got back," Senior Martial Brother Guang walked up respectfully and said. Senior Martial Brother Guang obviously knew of Luo Zun.


    "This brat is avoiding me on purpose?" Luo Zun''s face became ugly, and anger appeared in his eyes. According to Senior Martial Brother Guang, Zhao Feng had entered seclusion specifically after hearing news that he was coming. This meant that he was obviously acting like a "thug" and not letting go of the marriage.


    "Brother Luo, this is understandable." The Eighth Prince wasn''t surprised; he still had a smile on his face. After all, Luo Shui''er was extremely outstanding, and the Luo Family was one of the big families of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone. The Eighth Prince could understand normal people trying to latch onto those above themselves.


    "Zhao Feng, do you think that you''ll be able to marry my little sister by acting like this?" Luo Zun snickered coldly as an invisible Magnificent Power covered Zhao Feng''s courtyard.


    The protective array around the courtyard started to dim, and it was about to shatter any moment.


    Within the room, Zhao Feng was cultivating. He laughed coldly when he felt what was happening; "Which bastard dares to act like this in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan?"


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had its own rules. While Central disciples were in seclusion, they were not to be interrupted unless it was a unique situation. Luo Zun''s actions could be said to be offending the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "Brother Luo, don''t be rash." The Eighth Prince stopped Luo Zun''s actions.


    Luo Zun was angry, but he knew that he couldn''t be forceful against Zhao Feng in the territory of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Furthermore, the one that wanted to stop the marriage was the Luo Family, so logic wasn''t on their side. On the other hand, Zhao Feng was the "weak" one who had righteousness and rules on his side.


    At this moment, Luo Zun and the Eighth Prince were in an awkward position. They didn''t expect that Zhao Feng wouldn''t even give Kings face. He was too lazy to even come out and greet them.


    "Brother Luo, don''t worry. This brat will come out sooner or later. He needs collect the resources from the clan and complete missions, etcetera¡­." Senior Martial Brother Guang patted his chest and promised that he would keep an eye on Zhao Feng. As long as Zhao Feng came out, he would tell Luo Zun immediately.


    "Okay, I''m going to wait till that Zhao Feng signs the divorce papers just in case he wants to try something in the future." Luo Zun nodded his head in satisfaction. In his mind, Zhao Feng was acting extremely shamelessly, so he had to make sure that this went well.


    "Luo Zun, Eighth Prince, you two don''t need to come back anymore. I''ll decline the marriage with Luo Shui''er," a faint voice sounded as Zhao Feng threw a written letter outside.


    Sou!


    Luo Zun reached out and grabbed the letter. There were three large words on the letter ¨C Engagement Rejection Letter*


    These three words contained a weird Intent. Putting aside people weaker than a King, even the minds of both Luo Zun and the Eighth Prince shook slightly when they saw this.


    "Engagement Rejection Letter!? Brat, how dare you divorce my little sister?" Luo Zun was enraged, and his Magnificent Power caused the sky to shake.


    The terrifying power radiating from him made the disciples nearby unable to breathe. Seeing the Engagement Rejection Letter, the Eighth Prince''s expression was also somewhat ugly.


    "Luo Zun, what do you want from me? Isn''t that what you came here for?" a cold and emotionless voice resounded across the sky.


    In this world, the way a male could rejection a marriage was by using the Engagement Rejection Letter. Females didn''t have the right to write an Engagement Rejection Letter; they could only mutually break off the marriage, which went against their original promise.


    Zhao Feng did this in a very straightforward manner. He didn''t want his cultivation to be disturbed by anyone.


    "You¡­!" Luo Zun roared but didn''t know what to say. Indeed, he came to find Zhao Feng to break off the marriage, and Zhao Feng used the standard method of doing so ¨C Engagement Rejection Letter. However, thinking about how his charming and outstanding sister was rejected, Luo Zun felt angry.


    The Eighth Prince''s expression was also dark. He was the prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty; it wouldn''t really work out if he married someone that had been rejected by another male. At the end of the day, it was about face.


    Being the stronger side, the Luo Family wanted to mutually break off the marriage and then give the Zhao Family some compensation due to breaking their promise. Zhao Feng''s actions weren''t necessarily wrong, but this method made the Luo Family and the Eighth Prince lose face.


    "Zhao Feng, you will pay for your actions today!" Luo Zun''s voice roared throughout the air as his Magnificent Power transformed the sky into a field of ice and fire.


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly within the room. Luo Zun actually cultivated a rare Ice and Fire technique. This technique required one to balance Ice and Fire, and it was extremely hard to cultivate. Furthermore, Luo Zun had already started to form the outlines of a spatial domain, which meant that he wasn''t very far away from becoming a Domain-level King.


    "Luo Zun!" Several King Intents appeared in the air. "This is the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Please calm down."


    It was obvious that Luo Zun using his Magnificent Power caused the Elders within the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan to be unhappy. No matter what, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan used to be a three-star superpower. If he could help it, even the Eighth Prince didn''t want to offend the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. The lord dynasty and all the clans were currently balanced.


    "Zhao Feng, we''ll see what happens in the future!" Luo Zun suppressed the anger in his heart as he left Zhao Feng''s courtyard alongside the slightly grim Eighth Prince. Zhao Feng had righteousness on his side, and this was the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. They couldn''t use force here.


    Within the room, Zhao Feng was immersed in cultivation. He didn''t take Luo Zun''s threat to heart.


    In the blink of an eye, the majority of a month passed, and Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Technique had broken through to the third level. This meant that Zhao Feng could now kill True Lord Ranks with his physical strength alone, and he was unrivalled against anyone below the Origin Core Realm.


    If he was to use the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique as well, that would be like adding wings to a tiger.


    Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was progressing toward the peak third level. At this moment, he was putting his focus on the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique again.


    The higher the level the Wind Lightning Technique was, the faster his progress in cultivating the Sacred Lightning Body. Zhao Feng''s ideal state for the Wind Lightning Technique was to keep it one-and-a-half levels ahead of the Sacred Lightning Body.


    Zhao Feng wanted to cultivate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique to the fourth level first before focusing on the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body again. However, from the fourth level onward, each level was a turning point. At that point, he needed to start cultivating the five elements.


    "The Five Elemental Wind Lightning is about the birth of the five elements. From Metal comes Water, from Water comes Wood, from Wood comes Fire, from Fire comes Earth, from Earth comes Metal¡­.


    "From the tenth level onward, the Five Elemental Wind Lightning forms a circle where the elements can be interchanged at any time."


    Zhao Feng''s mindset was very clear. In addition, one could choose whichever element they wanted to be the starting element of the fourth level.


    Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth ¨C he could choose any of the five to be the first element to cultivate.


    The first element was very important since it would be the foundation. Then, from the fourth level onward, each element became important because each level would require a new element.


    "The fourth level is a critical point. The first element must be chosen carefully."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled. At this moment, he started to think. If he wanted strong offense in the beginning, Fire and Metal were good choices. If he wanted strong defense, Earth-elemental Wind Lightning was the best choice. Wood also had its own advantages; wood was full of life, and it could increase one''s lifeforce as well as heal others.


    However, in the end, Zhao Feng chose Water. Water was the most versatile; it could be tough and soft at the same time. It could turn into ice, strengthen one''s attacks, defend, and heal. In addition, Water was the source of Life; therefore, choosing Water as the foundation wouldn''t be much weaker than Earth.


    Another key point was that, after the God''s Spiritual Eye merged with his new body, the bloodline of this body was starting to change, and he would be able to use the Ice Imperial Spear soon. On top of that, his comprehension of Water and Ice was only below that of Wind and Lightning in his previous life.


    Several days later, Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique reached the peak third level, and he prepared to break through to the fourth level and form the first layer of his Five Elemental Wind Lightning.


    In this period of time, Zhao Feng''s cultivation had reached the True Lord Rank.


    *Engagement Rejection Letter - Only used by the male side. It is used when the male wants to "reject" the female even though they are already engaged. It is different from breaking off the marriage, where both parties decide to stop the marriage. It was more of a humiliating way to break off the marriage and could tarnish someone''s name. It would look bad if the Eighth Prince was to marry someone that had been rejected by another male. (i.e. taking someone else''s leftovers.)

 774 Letter

    Chapter 774 - Letter


    There was still four months left till the opening of the Divine Illusion Dimension when Zhao Feng broke through to the True Lord Rank.


    "There''s plenty of time left, but right now, the most important task is to construct the foundation for the fourth level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. I still need some Water-elemental resources."


    Zhao Feng wasn''t in a rush. At the moment, it seemed like his re-cultivation plan was moving along steadily, and it was actually slightly faster than he had expected.


    The fourth level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was a major turning point that could increase his strength, so Zhao Feng didn''t dare to be too slow.


    He didn''t have many Water-elemental resources. From the fourth level onward, the Water of Wind Lightning could be cultivated to the half-step King level. One could imagine how many Water and Lightning treasures and resources this would require.


    Within the room, Zhao Feng tried to construct the Water of Wind Lightning. The occasional ripple of water appeared around him alongside the humming of lightning and wind.


    He had already finished constructing the first three levels ¨C the basis of Wind Lightning. From the fourth level onward, he will have truly stepped into the doors of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    The first step was to merge the Laws of Water into his cultivation. Zhao Feng''s progress was relatively smooth. In reality, Zhao Feng already had a bit of a Water bloodline within his body, which came from the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    The blue lake at the center of the purple Soul Sea remained the same. There was a mysterious whirlpool at the very center that could reach the Ancient Dream Realm. Zhao Feng was planning to enter after a while.


    Several days later, after using some Water-elemental resources, blue-colored Wind Lightning appeared in Zhao Feng''s Source of True Spirit. The power of the Wind Lightning was the same as usual, but now it contained the ability to change, as well as other characteristics of water.


    Right now, only one fifth of Zhao Feng''s Source of True Spirit had become Water of Wind Lightning. Zhao Feng realized that, when he used the Water of Wind Lightning to strengthen his body, it was able to make his organs stronger. This meant that his body wouldn''t just become harder, it would also become tougher.


    "The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body are perfect for each other," Zhao Feng couldn''t help but praise.


    After he finished cultivating all five elements into his body, his body would be extremely resilient against every element. The Sacred Lightning Body would be, without a doubt, even better.


    "Hehe, Demigod Kun Yun, you probably wouldn''t have expected this, would you¡­?" Zhao Feng laughed.


    Even in the continent zone, Demigods were people that stood at the top.


    Half a year ago, Demigod Kun Yun tried to trick Zhao Feng, but he ended up helping instead.


    "Unfortunately, there''s no more chances to enter the Heaven''s Legacy City anymore¡­." Zhao Feng murmured.


    After experiencing a lifetime and taking over a new body, he had understood a lot of things. No true expert in the world had a smooth journey. The journey of life was one with ups and downs.


    On this day, Zhao Feng exited seclusion. He had reached the early stages of the True Lord Rank.


    "I''ll complete all the missions for this year and get some Water-elemental resources while I''m at it."


    Zhao Feng took down the seclusion symbol and walked out of the courtyard.


    An outer disciple immediately started to talk to someone else the instant Zhao Feng walked out.


    "Quick! That brat''s come out!"


    Several outer disciples watched Zhao Feng''s every action and movement. They had message tokens in their hands as well.


    Senior Martial Brother Guang came quickly when he heard about it.


    "How is this possible¡­!? True Lord Rank cultivation¡­!" Senior Martial Brother Guang felt the change in Zhao Feng''s aura from afar.


    How many months had it been? That True Human Rank brat had now broken through two ranks and reached the True Lord Rank.


    Senior Martial Brother Guang immediately took out a message token and was about to tell Luo Zun. Luo Zun had given him his message token before leaving.


    However, just as Senior Martial Brother Guang took out the token, it disappeared.


    "My message token!" Senior Martial Brother Guang exclaimed.


    Miao miao!


    A silver-gray cat took Senior Martial Brother Guang''s message token and disappeared.


    "Good job, little thieving cat!"


    Zhao Feng sat on the Yinming and left while Senior Martial Brother Guang started to curse. Zhao Feng took Luo Zun''s message token; without it, Senior Martial Brother Guang wouldn''t be able to contact Luo Zun within a short amount of time. He also wouldn''t be able to find Luo Zun, because the Tianfeng Great Island Zone was enormous.


    Zhao Feng soon reached the Hall of Missions by riding the Yinming Bird.


    Over the next few days, he started to turn in missions in a frenzy. Every time he took a mission, it was in the same area. It didn''t even matter whether they were highly-ranked tasks.


    In the short span of just ten days, Zhao Feng had completed dozens of missions by himself in an extremely fast manner. Exclamations would sound every time he came back and collected contribution points and rewards.


    "A measly True Lord Rank is able to complete so many missions that even those at the Origin Core Realm can''t."


    "There''s definitely some sort of secret on this guy."


    There were some mission maniacs in the Hall of Missions that obtained large amounts of resources by doing missions alone. However, they were nothing in comparison to Zhao Feng''s speed. The amount of contribution points and rewards Zhao Feng had collected over the past ten days was enough to make the eyes of some Origin Core Realms go red.


    As time passed, the missions Zhao Feng collected became more difficult as well.


    "That''s about one year''s worth of missions done." Zhao Feng nodded his head and then did something else that shocked the clan.


    Four or five days later, Zhao Feng went to the exchange castle in the clan. This time, he had tamed a large number of pets ranging from the True Spirit Realm to the Great Origin Core Realm. The spiritual pet bags on him were all full.


    He caused a shockwave when he went to sell the spiritual pets. Many rare and hard-to-tame spiritual pets had been tamed by Zhao Feng, and many experts of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan came to buy them when they heard about it. Some rare spiritual pets even raised the attention of some Void God Realm Kings.


    Zhao Feng''s beast taming talents started to travel across the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    He had earned a large amount of Primal Crystal Stones just from selling pets. Some experts would ask Zhao Feng to help tame beasts; the reward for doing so exceeded missions, and it could be done faster.


    Of course, Zhao Feng didn''t accept the easy tasks.


    After gathering a large amount of wealth, Zhao Feng started to cultivate the Water of Wind Lightning again.


    "These Water-elemental resources are enough for me to reach the half-step Origin Core Realm." Zhao Feng was excited.


    Of course, he had bought many other resources as well, including body-strengthening, Lightning, and Soul Dao resources. Soul Dao resources were the most expensive, but Zhao Feng had to buy them in order to heal his soul and awaken his Emperor Intent.


    In the blink of an eye, another month had passed by, and his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique finally reached the fourth level. At this moment, the Wind Lightning within his Source of True Spirit had turned completely blue.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng circulated his True Yuan and surrounded himself in a blue-colored ripple of Wind Lightning.


    "Let''s see if the Water of Wind Lightning can be used to use the Water Spirit Divine Change." Zhao Feng was intrigued.


    The Water Spirit Divine Change could transform one''s flesh and blood into a liquid state for a period of time. This meant that one would basically have an immortal body for a brief moment.


    Zhao Feng thought that it could work. Once it succeeded, the Water Spirit Divine Change would be upgraded to the Water Lightning Divine Change, where its offensive capabilities would become stronger.


    After reaching the fourth level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, Zhao Feng used the Water of Wind Lightning to train his Sacred Lightning Body. However, from the fourth level and onward, it was a major turning point for the Sacred Lightning Body as well.


    The first three levels were the foundation, and each level would be split into the beginning, early, late, and peak stages. The difficulty would rise exponentially.


    If one trained the Sacred Lightning Body to the late-stages of the fourth level, they would be able to rule supreme across the Origin Core Realm. Therefore, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was only slowly steadily progressing toward the peak third level because there was a bottleneck for the fourth level.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    In order to break through the bottleneck, he wanted to enter the Ancient Dream Realm, but the Spiritual Fruits were too hard to digest properly, so now wasn''t the best time. Zhao Feng also wouldn''t be able to kill any beasts in the Ancient Dream Realm at the moment. He would find it difficult to even walk.


    "Zhao Feng, there''s a letter for you."


    The sound of flying appeared from outside as a messenger appeared.


    Whoosh!


    A letter passed through the protective array.


    "Yunling Zhao Family?" Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed when he opened the letter. The letter said that the battle between the Zhao Family and the Yin Family was becoming more intense, and the Yin Family had the help of a mysterious power that gave them the upper hand.


    "Feng''er, the Head of the Luo Family said that, as long as you go to the Luo Family and apologize, they will help resolve this situation." At the end of the letter was a sigh from Zhao Feng''s grandfather.


    After reading the letter, Zhao Feng''s expression became grim.


    "Luo Zun, Eighth Prince¡­ so this is your trick?"


    Zhao Feng wasn''t dumb. The Zhao Family and the Yin Family were on par with each other, and after Zhao Feng had killed several experts from the Yin Family, they were had serious problems. How much damage could the Yin Family alone possibly bring to the Zhao Family?


    Shu~~


    Zhao Feng turned the letter into ashes.


    "Looks like I need to go back to the Yunling Zhao Family."


    Zhao Feng knew that the original Zhao Feng wanted to restore the glory of his family, and he was very close to his grandfather, as if they were father and son. Zhao Feng couldn''t just ignore Zhao Feng''s grandfather''s pleas.


    He then immediately sat on the Yinming Bird and headed to the Messenger Hall in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "Can you send letters to the continent zone?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "Some forces such as two-star sects, big families, or the lord dynasty can receive them," an elder replied.


    "Good. Can you send a letter to the Duanmu Family of the continent zone?" Zhao Feng asked as he started to write a letter, then sealed it with a special technique.


    "Duanmu Family? Do you mean¡­ one of the Eight Big Families of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty?" The elder clicked his tongue.


    "That''s right," Zhao Feng said confidently as he handed over the letter to the elder and also gave him a large amount of Primal Crystal Stones.


    He had been in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty for a while now, and Zhao Feng only just remembered to write a letter to Duanmu Qing and Zhao Yufei to ask how they were. He hoped to see them soon.

 775 Arrogant Bra

    Chapter 775 - Arrogant Brat


    "The Duanmu Family will receive your letter approximately half a year later."


    The elder inspected Zhao Feng with a weird gaze. The Duanmu Family was one of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s eight biggest families, and it was comparable to a three-star superpower at the least. The Eight Big Families were closely connected to the imperials, and their influence in the mortal world even surpassed some three-star superpowers. Apart from a four-star power, the Eight Big Families stood at the peak.


    "Half a year?"


    Zhao Feng realized that the continent zone was probably bigger than he expected. One had to realize that the messenger would use the Zone Teleportation Array and travel on a very efficient route, and yet it would still take half a year?


    Before he left, Zhao Feng bought a map of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s territory.


    The Great Gan Lord Dynasty had eighteen provinces. Each province was at least the size of the Cang Ocean or the Nanlin Sea, but their populations and the advancements in their cultivation were far greater.


    Furthermore, the continent zone didn''t have just one lord dynasty.


    The map had descriptions about the various territories of the continent zone. The Great Gan Lord Dynasty was weaker than it was in the past, and the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty had appeared dozens of millennia ago in the northern parts of the continent zone. They were ruled by another species, and they had taken over some territory of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    At this moment in time, the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s biggest enemy was the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty, which was one of the main reasons it didn''t really care about the Cang Ocean.


    Zhao Feng put away the map, then sat on the Yinming Bird and flew in the direction of the Yunling Zhao Family.


    Half a day later:


    Whoosh!


    A half-step King in blue robes arrived at the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    Weng~~


    A shining silver token expanded and floated in the air. A purple dragon appeared and released a domineering aura. The aura of the token reached the heavens.


    "Duke Token!"


    Some experts within the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan were awoken by it. Although it wasn''t the main Duke Token, it was still of high rank.


    "What may we do for you, General?" A half-step King Regulator came over.


    "The Duke Palace orders to see the beast tamer of your clan, Zhao Feng," the blue-robed general said.


    "Zhao Feng?"


    Some people in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan looked at each other and started to discuss. If they were supposed to find a person by name alone, it might take a while, but the general said that the person was a beast tamer. There was only one beast tamer with that name.


    A while later, an Origin Core Realm elder replied, "General, we''re very sorry, but Zhao Feng applied to go back to his family half a day ago."


    When disciples went out on missions or other stuff, they would usually keep records. This wasn''t just due to the rules of the clan, they could also protect their disciples that way. If disciples went missing or something happened to them, the clan could find tracks of what happened. Therefore, most outsiders wouldn''t kill disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "Why are the people from the Duke Palace here to find Zhao Feng?" Amongst the crowd, Senior Martial Brother Guang''s eyebrows furrowed together. His message token for Luo Zun had been stolen by Zhao Feng, and he was still trying to find him to tattle on Zhao Feng.


    At the same moment in time, Zhao Feng was flying northward on the Yinming Bird.


    Half a day later, a valley of rising mountains that interacted with the clouds appeared.


    Zhao Feng knew that the Yunling area was one of the relatively poorer places, and its resources mainly came from low- to mid-tier Primal Crystal Stone mines. Two-star sects wouldn''t care about these resources, but some families lived off them.


    The Zhao Family and the Yin Family were amongst the top families in the Yunling area, and they had competed against each other for many years.


    After "replaying" the memories in his mind, Zhao Feng reached the territory of the Yunling Zhao Family.


    The Yinming Bird descended toward a castle on top of a mountain. This castle was called the Zhao Family Castle, and it was the main headquarters of the Yunling Zhao Family. In comparison, the cities nearby were just part of the Zhao Family''s forces.


    Overall, the Yunling Zhao Family was countless times stronger than the Zhao Family of Sun Feather City in his previous life. It could even be said that the power of the entire Thirteen Countries of the Cloud region wouldn''t be the Yunling Zhao Family''s match.


    The arrival of the Yinming Bird caused many people to come out. After all, this wasn''t the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, which was close to a three-star force. Birds like the Yinming Bird were extremely rare to see in the Zhao Family Castle.


    "It''s Young Master Zhao Feng!"


    "Young Master Zhao Feng has returned!"


    Some members soon recognized Zhao Feng and were extremely excited. Zhao Feng was a once-in-a-thousand-years genius of the Yunling Zhao Family. Zhao Feng obviously knew that the hopes of the Yunling Zhao Family had been placed on him.


    "Feng''er!"


    "Young Master Zhao Feng¡­."


    Proud and admiring voices sounded, and Zhao Feng nodded his head toward the people of the Zhao Family with a smile without speaking much.


    The small amount of people that were familiar with Zhao Feng felt that he had changed.


    Some time later, in a hall of the Zhao Family, Zhao Feng saw the elders and the upper echelon of the Yunling Zhao Family, but the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.


    "Zhao Feng, you were too rash."


    "How could you reject Shui''er like that¡­?"


    The Head of the Family and the Elders blamed.


    Being a mid-tier family in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, the strength of the Yunling Zhao Family was comparable to a one-and-a-half-stars force. All of the upper echelon members were Origin Core Realms, and one or two Elders had even reached the Great Origin Core Realm.


    "You called me back just to curse at me?" Zhao Feng''s voice was somewhat cold. He would try to satisfy the wishes of the original owner since he had taken over his body, but he had no feelings toward the Yunling Zhao Family.


    "Do you even put your own elders in your eyes? How dare you talk back¡­?" the Head of the Family, Zhao Tianyi, said coldly, and surprise and anger appeared in his eyes. Although the Zhao Feng from before wasn''t exactly obedient, he had never spoke back to them like this.


    "He''s got wings now and doesn''t put us seniors in his eyes," an Elder sighed.


    If it was a normal disciple, the Head of the Family would have slapped them already, but with Zhao Feng''s current status, he didn''t dare to. After all, he was still their biggest hope in the past several hundred years. Furthermore, they had heard that Zhao Feng possessed a spiritual pet cat that was rather strong.


    "Are we here to discuss something or not?" Zhao Feng asked impatiently. He didn''t come back just to be sworn and cursed at.


    The upper echelon of the Zhao Family paused. The current Zhao Feng acted completely different than before.


    "Feng''er, you''ve changed¡­." An elder with white hair walked out from a side hall. He walked forward slowly ¨C this was Zhao Feng''s grandfather.


    The parents of the original Zhao Feng had both died, and Zhao Feng lived with his grandfather. At his peak, Zhao Feng''s grandfather was also an Origin Core Realm Sovereign, but he had dropped to the half-step Origin Core Realm after an accident.


    "Grandfather, I''m not the Zhao Feng from before." Zhao Feng smiled faintly. In his memories, Zhao Feng''s grandfather had placed a lot of hope of him. In order to raise Zhao Feng into a genius, Zhao Feng''s grandfather spent all his wealth.


    The original Zhao Feng was full of respect and gratitude toward his grandfather.


    Hearing Zhao Feng''s words, Zhao Feng''s grandfather paused before giving him a deep glance. His grandson was very different from before; he could no longer see through him. The upper echelon of the Zhao Family also realized that Zhao Feng''s attitude now could be described by two words ¨C"cold" and "emotionless."


    "Zhao Feng, I hope you can give us a good reason regarding your rejection of Luo Shui''er, and I hope you can pay them back," the Head of the Family said.


    "Reason? I don''t want to marry Luo Shui''er. There''s nothing wrong with rejecting her," Zhao Feng said honestly.


    "You¡­! Luo Shui''er is the golden daughter of the Luo Family. It''s your honor that you were able to be engaged to the Luo Family!" The Head of the Family almost stood up in anger.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng just watched on coldly. His gaze made the Head of the Family and the upper echelon feel cold.


    Miao miao!


    A small silver-gray cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder. The existence of this cat caused the upper echelon of the Zhao Family to be wary. The elder in gray from before revealed a look of fear and quickly stopped the Head of the Family.


    "With the interference of the Eighth Prince, the marriage with the Luo Family will be impossible anyway. Tianyi, we shouldn''t think about it too much," the elder in gray said, and the upper echelon of the family inspected Zhao Feng in a new light.


    "As for apologizing to the Luo Family, don''t even think about mentioning that again." Zhao Feng''s next sentence sealed the mouths of the Head of the Family and company.


    It was the Luo Family that wanted to cancel the marriage in the first place, so there was nothing wrong with Zhao Feng sending an Engagement Rejection Letter.


    "The Luo Family will probably feel like they lost face. Although they might not do anything to us directly, they''ll support the Yin Family in secret." Grandfather Zhao was worried.


    Recently, the Yin Family was being supported by a mysterious power, expanding and taking over the forces of the Zhao Family. The Zhao Family was on the verge of collapsing.


    "My aim in coming back this time is to get rid of the Yin Family. After the Yin Family has been destroyed, the Zhao Family will have no more opponents in the Yunling area." A cold light flashed across Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Get rid of the Yin Family? The hearts of the upper echelon shook. They felt that he was being extremely arrogant, but seeing Zhao Feng''s confidence, the Yinming Bird, and "Senior Thieving Cat," they couldn''t help but believe it a bit.


    "Zhao Feng, we believe in you." The Head of the Family nodded his head, but his words took a twist; "But if you can''t solve the danger, we hope you will go to the Luo Family and apologize."


    "Apologize? It would probably be simpler to just destroy the Luo Family¡­." Zhao Feng laughed with a playful smile as he left the hall.


    "Arrogant brat!"


    "Are you not scared that the wind will cut off your tongue!?"


    The upper echelon of the Zhao Family roared, but the youth didn''t care; he just kept on walking further and further.


    Zhao Feng had his own room in the Zhao Family Castle.


    Zhiii~~


    An old figure pushed open the door and entered the room. It was grandfather Zhao.


    "You¡­ you''re not Feng''er," Grandfather Zhao stared at Zhao Feng and said in a trembling and sad tone.

 776 Identity

    Chapter 776 - Identity


    "You¡­ you''re not Feng''er!" Grandfather Zhao stared at Zhao Feng, who was becoming more strange, and spoke in a confident tone.


    Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back and remained emotionless. If Grandfather Zhao hadn''t figured it out by now, then there was something wrong. Zhao Feng didn''t plan on hiding it either; pretending to be someone else was too troublesome.


    "You are correct. I am not Zhao Feng. The real Zhao Feng died several months ago." Zhao Feng glanced at the scenery while walking around.


    "You¡­ you killed him and then stole his body!" Grandfather Zhao''s eyes bulged as killing intent and anger appeared. However, the person in front of him had the body of his grandson, so he tried to control himself. Furthermore, this stranger was extremely calm and not scared at all, which instinctively made Grandfather Zhao calm down.


    "Although I took over his body, someone else killed him."


    Zhao Feng swiped his hand expressionlessly.


    Weng~~


    A screen made of water appeared in front of them and showed the process of the original Zhao Feng being slain before a glitter of purple lightning merged into his body.


    "Yin Family¡­." Grandfather Zhao was dazed. He could recognize the people; they were from the Yin Family. Zhao Feng''s screen even had sound.


    "The Yin Family is a bunch of bastards that was jealous of Feng''er''s achievements! How dare they do such a shameless act¡­!" Grandfather Zhao howled.


    "I''m just borrowing this body and living as your grandson." Zhao Feng summarized.


    Hearing that, Grandfather Zhao''s body shook, and he started to cry as he looked at Zhao Feng with complex emotions. Zhao Feng knew that Grandfather Zhao had put too much hope and energy into the previous Zhao Feng.


    A long time later, Grandfather Zhao''s emotions finally calmed down a bit. He stared at Zhao Feng and spoke, "No matter who you are, live well with his body¡­."


    "Of course," Zhao Feng smiled faintly. "I will live a life more colorful than his and complete his wishes the best I can, including resolving the danger of the Zhao Family this time."


    Zhao Feng''s words made Grandfather Zhao''s dim eyes light up again. At this moment, he seemed to transfer the hope of the original Zhao Feng onto the current Zhao Feng.


    It wasn''t hard for Grandfather Zhao to see that Zhao Feng''s strength from before taking a new body was very high. He had reached the True Lord Rank from the True Human Rank in just a matter of months, he had tamed a Yinming Bird, and he had a mysterious cat next to him that could slay Sovereign Lords. Could a normal person do this?


    "Grandfather Zhao, this is one of my repayments." Zhao Feng took out a small bottle that contained a clear liquid.


    "Repayment!?" Grandfather Zhao roared. "I don''t need any repayment. All you need to do is live well with his body."


    "Only by drinking this will you actually have a life to see that," Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    Grandfather Zhao drank the liquid with puzzlement. In the next instant, his expression changed dramatically; "Imm¡­ Immortal Springs Wine¡­!?"


    Grandfather Zhao felt that his lifeforce was being replenished. In the past, an accident had crippled him and decreased his lifeforce dramatically. He only had less than ten years of life left, but after drinking the Immortal Springs Wine, it was as if he had turned back time. His lifespan had increased by a thousand years.


    "Extending your lifespan isn''t just Zhao Feng''s wish, it''s yours as well, isn''t it?" Zhao Feng asked slowly.


    "You¡­." Grandfather Zhao''s face went slightly red. Indeed, he had raised the original Zhao Feng and had such hopes at the bottom of his heart. After experiencing a lifetime, how would Zhao Feng not see that?


    Zhao Feng then took out several precious medicines to heal Grandfather Zhao''s leg. These medicines were used for the injuries of Kings and Emperors, so they were more than enough to heal a measly Origin Core Realm.


    In just one hour''s time, Grandfather Zhao''s lifespan had increased by a thousand years, his crippled leg was healed, and the recovery of his cultivation could be expected any day now. All of this was like a dream.


    "My lifespan has now increased by a thousand years. I didn''t dare to even think about the Great Origin Core Realm in the past, but now I can even try to reach the Void God Realm in the future." Grandfather Zhao felt happy, but also guilty at the same time This new Zhao Feng had changed his destiny with just a few actions, and the revenge for his grandson and the rise of the Zhao Family depended on him.


    "I hope that no one else will know this secret," Grandfather Zhao said. If news of this spread, it wouldn''t be good for the Zhao Family.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng had that intention anyway.


    Later that day, the upper echelon of the Zhao Family held a secret meeting and invited Zhao Feng.


    "Feng''er, you are the biggest hope of the Yunling Zhao Family. The Yin Family has tried to kill you many times before, and they definitely won''t give up anytime soon," the Head of the Family said. The upper echelon of the Zhao Family knew that the Yin Family had tried to assassinate Zhao Feng many times before.


    As long as they had Zhao Feng, they had a chance to rise. Zhao Feng was a once-in-a-thousand-years genius who had entered the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and he had become much stronger in the last several months. One could imagine that, if Zhao Feng kept up this performance, he might become the disciple of a King and enter the Divine Illusion Dimension, which would be a major turning point for the Zhao Family.


    "You can use me as the bait," Zhao Feng smiled and said. The main reason he came back this time was to get rid of the Yin Family.


    On the morning of the second day, Zhao Feng left the Zhao Family Castle and flew to the peak of a mountain several hundred miles away. The mountain was surrounded by clouds, and Zhao Feng sat down and started to cultivate.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to cultivate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Sacred Lightning Body at the same time.


    He didn''t need to re-cultivate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. As long as his soul-strength was strong enough, his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique would return to its peak on its own. It was the same as his Emperor Intent because Zhao Feng''s soul and consciousness had been put into his God''s Spiritual Eye.


    Even when the God''s Spiritual Eye merged into his original body, it didn''t alter his mind. Zhao Feng remembered that the God''s Spiritual Eye had lost almost all its lifeforce when it merged into his body, then it started to awaken and change his body after recovering.


    Several days later, Zhao Feng''s cultivation progressed. He reached the late-stage True Lord Rank.


    The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was at the fourth level, where the Water of Wind Lightning strengthened and healed his Sacred Lightning Body, but it was hard to break through to the fourth level of the Sacred Lightning Body.


    "Once the Sacred Lightning Body reaches the fourth level, my body-strength alone can dominate those at the Origin Core Realm."


    Zhao Feng was looking forward to it. The fourth level of the Sacred Lightning Body was indeed a big turning point, similar to the fourth level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    At night:


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    More than a dozen black figures appeared in the clouds.


    "That brat can manage to cultivate here?"


    "Hmph, this is obviously the Zhao Family''s trick to lure us out, but our strength easily surpasses theirs. We can finish them all off at once."


    The weakest of them had reached the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, and the two leaders, a male and a female, were both half-step Kings.


    "Mu Yue, you lead the squad to kill the upper echelon of the Zhao Family. I''ll kill that brat myself," a muscular youth said.


    "Gu Hong, a measly True Lord Rank requires you to handle him personally?" a Great Origin Core Realm asked.


    The muscular youth named Gu Hong replied, "According to the information, this brat is extremely weird, and he definitely has a secret."


    A cold light flashed across Gu Hong''s eyes, as well as a flash of greed. No one would believe it if someone said that a True Human Rank could reach the True Lord Rank within a couple months without some special secret.


    "Go!" Gu Hong ordered, and more than a dozen figures charged toward the mountain where Zhao Feng was at.


    The other leader was called Mu Yue. She was a skinny female who had also reached the half-step King level. Her team consisted of three Great Origin Core Realms and nine peak stage Small Origin Core Realms.


    "Ambush!"


    The group of black figures were found when they were three hundred miles away from Zhao Feng. The upper echelon of the Zhao Family nearby leapt out and attacked.


    "Kill~~~~!"


    Mu Yue and Gu Hong, the two half-step Kings, had powerful auras. On the other hand, the Zhao Family only had one Grand Elder at the half-step King level, and the strength of the remaining elders wasn''t as great as the enemies.


    "Watch out! The enemy has two half-step Kings!" the voice of the Grand Elder resounded across the sky.


    These two half-step Kings of the Yin Family were both outsiders. Only one third of the group was actually from the Yin Family.


    "Old man, get back here!" the half-step King Mu Yue slashed out her sword and sliced through several mountains.


    "Arghh!"


    An upper echelon member of the Zhao Family hiding nearby was sliced into two.


    The Grand Elder of the Zhao Family had to go over to help, but the stronger Gu Hong charged toward Zhao Feng alone. The upper echelon of the Zhao Family tried to stop him but couldn''t do anything.


    "Feng''er!" Grandfather Zhao appeared behind Zhao Feng. His old face was filled with worry, and he talked in a slightly-trembling tone as he saw the approaching half-step King.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng''s shoulder.


    "Let me¡­." Zhao Feng reached out and stopped the little thieving cat. His black hair then turned purple and blew wildly in the night wind.


    "Illusion Maze City!"


    A misty purple haze started to spin in Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Whoosh!


    The scenery suddenly changed.


    "What''s going on!?"


    The experts of the Yin Family entered a misty maze and walked around in circles. They seemed to be stuck in an invisible maze, and no matter how they attacked, their attacks were limited to just a couple hundred yards.


    "This Illusion Maze City is a Domain-level skill."


    Zhao Feng sat down. Although his soul had only recovered to one-tenth of its peak, the techniques of his God''s Spiritual Eye could damage even Kings.


    "Arghh!"


    Screams sounded throughout the illusion city. However, none of the experts of the Zhao Family were affected by this illusion.


    Around half the time it took to make tea later, everyone from the Yin Family was dead. Zhao Feng didn''t move ever since using the skill.


    Grandfather Zhao was full of shock. All he saw was Zhao Feng glare at them, then the experts of the Yin Family stopped moving and did nothing while the enemy slaughtered them.

 777 Zhao Feng’s Warning

    Chapter 777 - Zhao Feng''s Warning


    Near the Zhao Family Castle, a battle of life and death had ended just like that. The upper echelon of the Zhao Family felt as if they were in a dream.


    Everyone instinctively turned to look at Zhao Feng on the peak of the mountain. The youth''s purple hair was blowing in the wind, and he closed his eyes as he started to cultivate again.


    Although they didn''t see the details, instinct told them that this youth had turned this battle around.


    It''s Feng''er¡­! He saved the family! Grandfather Zhao reacted, and his beard trembled with excitement and pride. No one else saw the process except him.


    The youth and the cat on his shoulder suddenly became even more mysterious.


    The eyes of the Zhao Family upper echelon were filled with puzzlement and respect. Originally, they didn''t have a chance of winning at all, but the experts of the Yin Family seemed to have been hit by a weird technique and suddenly stopped moving, allowing themselves to be slaughtered.


    "Search for and gather the spoils of war!" the Grand Elder of the Zhao Family ordered.


    The weakest of the Yin Family experts that had come was the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm, and there were several Great Origin Core Realms and half-step Kings. Therefore, the spoils of war would be very rich.


    "Feng''er, you can decide how to split these spoils of war." Grandfather Zhao went up and split the spoils of war into different categories. Being his "grandfather," he obviously wanted his "grandson" to receive the best spoils of war.


    Zhao Feng was slightly disappointed as his eyes scanned over the items. He only chose a few Water-elemental materials and some other so-so items. Normal resources couldn''t enter his eyes since they were of no use to him.


    In this period of time, the Zhao Family searched around the Yin Family''s area to kill anyone who had escaped.


    Two thousand miles away, in an old city:


    "How is this possible¡­ all of them died!?"


    A bulky youth in black was slightly dazed. If Zhao Feng was present, he would recognize that this youth was Luo Zun.


    "My Lord, no one that participated in the ambush managed to escape. The Zhao Family''s now searching around the Yin Family," a male in black that cultivated the Dao of Assassination reported with shock.


    No one knew the truth about what happened.


    "This subordinate thinks that an expert must''ve helped the Zhao Family. The Zhao Family set this trap once Zhao Feng returned," the male in black said carefully.


    Over half of the Yin Family''s strength had been destroyed. The Luo Family had also sent some people, and Luo Zun was in charge of them. However, none of them expected such a powerful force to be wiped out within such a short amount of time by the Zhao Family.


    At this moment, Luo Zun started to think. He knew that there was most likely an expert supporting Zhao Feng. His Divine Sense had been scanning the battle, but it was interrupted by an illusion. He could only see his subordinates get killed, and the power of the illusion came from Zhao Feng.


    "First, retreat and protect the Yin Family!" Lightning seemed to flash through Luo Zun''s eyes as he suddenly remembered something.


    After the battle, the majority of the Yin Family''s elites had been killed. The Zhao Family would definitely use this chance to wipe out the entire Yin Family. Once the Yin Family was wiped out, the Zhao Family would rule the entire Yunling area. At that point, the Luo Family wouldn''t be able to do much since they were so far away.


    As of right now, Luo Zun and the Luo Family couldn''t interfere directly because the Luo and Zhao Family still had a marriage-based relationship. The Luo Family wanted to break off the marriage, and the Zhao Family had sent an Engagement Rejection Letter ¨C everyone knew about this. On top of that, Zhao Feng was a Central disciple of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and it wasn''t far off till he could become a Core disciple.


    If the Luo Family attacked the Zhao Family without any reason, Zhao Feng could ask the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan to help and protect them, or he could report them to the Duke Palace.


    In addition, due to the rules of the game and fairness, the Luo Family couldn''t attack directly anyway because, even if they managed to succeed, the Eighth Prince''s name would be tarnished. If the Eighth Prince wanted to compete for and become the Crown Prince and then the future Sacred Emperor of the lord dynasty, he couldn''t leave many obvious blemishes behind.


    Back in the Zhao Family Castle, at the top of a mountain, Zhao Feng was still cultivating the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. It was as if he hadn''t even participated in the fight a moment ago.


    "Feng''er, this battle has severely injured the Yin Family, and they have lost most of their elites. Now is the perfect chance to finish off the Yin Family." Zhao Tianyi''s eyes glittered with the flames of ambition. The entire upper echelon was filled with battle-intent, just waiting for the day they could rule the Yunling area.


    "Okay, let''s go." Zhao Feng nodded his head crisply.


    Later that night, the elites of the Zhao Family Castle ¨C around two hundred in number ¨C sat on their flying steeds or ships as they charged toward the Yin Family.


    The Yin Family was located in the northern parts of the Yunling area, while the Zhao Family was in the south. The two families had fought against each other for a long time, and it was finally time to see who would win.


    The elites of the Zhao Family charged into the main headquarters of the Yin Family ¨C the Yin Family Castle.


    When they arrived, the Yin Family was already waiting. The protective array of the Yin Family Castle was open, and a solemn atmosphere filled the air. The guards of the Yin Family Castle were filled with despair, and they had very little battle-intent. The strengths of the two sides weren''t even on the same level.


    Above the clouds:


    "The Zhao Family has arrived faster than I expected. The Luo Family won''t have enough time to reinforce them." Luo Zun looked down from above. His Divine Sense was extremely concealed as he inspected the Zhao Family, and he placed great emphasis on Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat on his shoulder.


    No one knew why, but Zhao Feng smiled and glanced over in Luo Zun''s direction once or twice.


    Luo Zun''s body shook. How could a measly True Lord Rank sense the Divine Sense of a Void God Realm?


    However, if Zhao Feng looking over was just a coincidence, then the next scene truly shook his mind.


    Miao!


    The little cat on Zhao Feng''s shoulder glanced in his direction with disdain and laziness.


    "This cat, how¡­!?" Luo Zun felt as if his understanding of the world had flipped. One thing was for sure though ¨C Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat knew of his existence.


    What made it worse was that they were acting as if they didn''t know he was there.


    Thinking about the weirdness of the battle before, Luo Zun felt that the human and cat duo was not simple, and they definitely had some sort of secret.


    "Kill!" The two hundred elites of the Zhao Family unleashed a round of attacks.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The protective array of the Yin Family Castle started to shake, and since the Yin Family had already lost most of their experts, fear and panic overtook them.


    "Attack¡­ the southwestern corner," Zhao Feng suddenly said from atop the Yinming Bird as he took control of the battle. The Zhao Family believed him without a doubt and immediately started to attack the southwestern corner of the castle.


    "The southwestern corner is the place where the Yin Family Castle''s protective array is flawed¡­." Luo Zun couldn''t help but take in a deep breath. He had to thoroughly scan with his Divine Sense before he found that flaw whereas Zhao Feng only gave it one glance before finding it.


    Crack! Crack!


    The southwestern corner of the array soon started to crack, and everyone in the Yin Family Castle revealed looks of helplessness and despair.


    "I can''t let the Zhao Family succeed so easily." Luo Zun''s face was cold. "At the very least, I need to figure out how strong Zhao Feng is."


    Afterward, he hid in the clouds and circulated his King Intent. Magnificent Power instantly appeared near the crack in the array, stopping the attacks.


    Luo Zun had done this stealthily, and only someone close to the half-step King level could sense it. As long as Luo Zun didn''t do anything on the surface, the Zhao Family would have no proof. His Magnificent Power was stealthy and had no special characteristics.


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly. This wasn''t enough to stop the Zhao Family. He ordered the Zhao Family to split into four groups and attack several places at once.


    Magnificent Power was formed when King Intent merged with Heaven and Earth.


    "Luo Zun can''t split his Magnificent Power into several different forces yet unless he''s cultivated a technique like the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to a high level."


    Zhao Feng was certain of this. Magnificent Power could only be used in one area, and even Zhao Feng at his peak couldn''t split it into several separate forces.


    As of right now, Zhao Feng could also use Magnificent Power, but he didn''t want everyone to know yet.


    "This brat¡­!" In the clouds, Luo Zun''s expression changed once more. It would be too obvious if he covered the entire Yin Family Castle in Magnificent Power, and the strength would be much weaker even if he did.


    Crack! Crack! Boom!


    The Zhao Family soon charged into the Yin Family Castle.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat turned into a silver-gray streak of light and jumped into the Yin Family Castle.


    "Arghh!"


    Screams started to sound as several upper echelon cultivators of the Yin Family were slain by the little thieving cat''s paws.


    Their momentum couldn''t be stopped. The Yin Family gave up on the arrays and the city and started to retreat. The elites of the Zhao Family were ready and chased after them.


    What happened next was an onslaught. Zhao Feng didn''t even need to do anything apart from keeping an eye on Luo Zun.


    "Ridiculous~~~!" Luo Zun floated in the air with an ugly expression. The Yin Family was going to be destroyed unless a Void God Realm interfered directly or unless the Luo Family came out, but Zhao Feng had the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, which was close to a three-star force, behind his back. Others wouldn''t dare to interfere easily.


    What made Luo Zun most worried was that he still couldn''t see through Zhao Feng even after the Zhao Family overtook the Yin Family Castle. He couldn''t even see through that little cat.


    The Zhao Family started to gather the spoils of war from the Yin Family Castle, and Zhao Feng still got to choose first.


    "There aren''t enough useful Soul Dao treasures, but there''s enough Water-elemental and body-strengthening materials." Zhao Feng organized the spoils of war.


    To rule the Yunling area, the Zhao Family had to take most of the Yin Family''s resources, so Zhao Feng couldn''t take much.


    In order to recover Zhao Feng''s soul quickly, he needed Soul Dao items at the level of the Void God Realm, but those were rare even in two or three-star powers.


    "Luo Zun, I advise the Luo Family to stop or else they might be the next Yin Family," a faint voice travelled to the clouds, and Luo Zun, who was just about to leave, froze.


    This was Zhao Feng''s warning.

 778 Luo Shui’er

    Chapter 778 - Luo Shui''er


    Shock appeared on Luo Zun''s face as he was just about to leave. Zhao Feng''s warning sounded directly in Luo Zun''s head, and he didn''t feel anything beforehand. To do this, the soul-strength of the other person must be higher than his.


    "True Lord Rank brat¡­ do you really think the help of one King will be able to threaten the Luo Family?" Luo Zun suppressed the shock in his heart and his expression darkened. His Divine Sense flashed through the air and landed next to Zhao Feng''s ears, but it was unable to penetrate into his soul.


    This scene stunned him. He wasn''t able to detect or even touch Zhao Feng''s soul-strength. The latter was like a dead sea.


    Although Luo Zun was forceful, he was also cautious and wary. Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat both had strength that he couldn''t see through, and this made him wary. Furthermore, the current Luo Family couldn''t attack the Zhao Family directly.


    "Then let''s see." Zhao Feng closed his eyes and remained unmoved.


    "Hmph, brat at the bottom of the well, a measly Yunling Zhao Family is nothing in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. It''s not even a pawn. The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan might''ve had a spot at its peak, but now¡­" Coldness appeared on Luo Zun''s face, and his tone contained a sense of superiority.


    Luo Zun was using his style to warn and "counterattack" Zhao Feng.


    In the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, the Zhao Family and even the Luo Family were nothing. The weakened Ten Thousand Sacred Clan barely had a tiny bit of power left. On the other hand, Luo Zun had formed a good relationship with the Eighth Prince, and the imperials were the rulers.


    "This Luo Zun!" Zhao Feng was surprised. Not only was Luo Zun talented, he even found something to rely on in this dangerous world; the imperials saw his talent and abilities.


    "Zhao Feng!" Luo Zun''s words were full of confidence and dominance, "If you turn back now, there''s still time¡­ otherwise, the Zhao Family will only be able to survive for one more year at most. You might be able to survive with the protection of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, but you will die full of hatred."


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng felt weird. It was he that was warning Luo Zun, but Luo Zun suddenly started to talk about the lord dynasty and told Zhao Feng to turn back, as if Luo Zun was already the victor.


    Zhao Feng sat down and didn''t say anything else. He had already warned Luo Zun; it didn''t matter to Zhao Feng whether Luo Zun listened to him or not, but it already seemed like Luo Zun didn''t plan on listening.


    In the clouds, Luo Zun''s expression was grim as he flew in the direction of the Luo Family. Zhao Feng''s willpower surpassed his expectations. He tried to destroy Zhao Feng''s battle-intent with his words just now, but Zhao Feng was completely unmoved and was even too lazy to argue back.


    "What is this brat relying on?" Luo Zun felt somewhat defeated. He had asked to be the one to take care of the Zhao Family, but he failed. He, the number one genius of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, had been defeated by a youth more than a dozen years younger than himself. This humiliation made him angry. In terms of age, Zhao Feng was only fourteen or fifteen years old ¨C not even half of his.


    "Brother Luo." The sound of flying and a surge of Magnificent Power appeared near the Luo Family.


    "Eighth Prince." Luo Zun''s expression became slightly better as he glanced toward the calm and elegant male.


    "Brother Luo, how did it go? It wasn''t successful?" The Eight Prince could tell that Luo Zun''s expression wasn''t right.


    The two were on good terms, so Luo Zun told him everything.


    "It seems like that Zhao Feng is indeed not simple. Brother Luo hasn''t felt this defeated since the battle with Xin Wuheng" the eyes of the Eighth Prince twinkled as he murmured. It seemed like the humiliation Luo Zun felt this time was only below that of what he felt from Xin Wuheng.


    "Xin Wuheng!" When Luo Zun murmured this name, hatred and battle-intent surged from his eyes. "I''ll finish off this brat, then challenge him."


    The Eighth Prince knew that the defeat half a year ago was Luo Zun''s greatest humiliation.


    "I have analyzed that Xin Wuheng purposely stayed at the half-step King level because he didn''t want to become a King. After all, his Intent has already reached the level of an Emperor," the Eighth Prince said.


    He felt regretful whenever he mentioned Xin Wuheng. The Eighth Prince hadn''t managed to recruit such a genius, but the strongest competitor for the position of Crown Prince ¨C the Fourth Prince ¨C did.


    "Why does he want to suppress his cultivation? Could it be¡­?" Luo Zun suddenly thought of something.


    "That''s right ¨C the Divine Illusion Dimension." The Eighth Prince faintly smiled. "Anyone at the Void God Realm will have to undergo an enormous risk to enter the Divine Illusion Dimension, but half-step Kings have at least a 70% chance of success."


    This analysis was logical. To make sure he was able to enter the Divine Illusion Dimension safely, Xin Wuheng purposely stayed at the level of a half-step King.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two flew in the direction of the Luo Family.


    "Eighth Prince, have you talked to my sister? How is she?" Luo Zun smiled. The Eighth Prince was of noble status. If his little sister married the Eighth Prince, it would be extremely good for him and the rest of the Luo Family. The Luo Family was willing even if Luo Shui''er was just a concubine.


    "I like lady Shui''er, and she''s perfect, but¡­" The Eighth Prince smiled bitterly.


    "Hmm? Is Shui''er not willing?" Luo Zun thought of a problem. The Eighth Prince, himself, and the Luo Family had never asked what Luo Shui''er thought.


    From Luo Zun''s point of view, it was something countless females of normal families would dream of even if they were just a concubine, and the Eighth Prince had promised to make Luo Shui''er the principal wife.


    Within a room of the Luo Family:


    "Father, brother, when did I ever agree to break off the marriage? Did you even consider asking what I thought?"


    A young girl in green cried. The girl had smooth skin, and she looked like a goddess. She was flawless like a lotus after the rain.


    Facing the cries of the young girl, both Luo Zun and their father looked at each other and remained silent. The two both loved Luo Shui''er, but neither of them had even asked what Luo Shui''er thought, and now her name was tarnished by Zhao Feng''s Engagement Rejection Letter.


    Guiltiness appeared in their hearts, but it soon faded. Forming a connection with the Eighth Prince and the imperials was something the Luo Family and Luo Zun couldn''t resist.


    The next day, Zhao Feng returned to the Zhao Family Castle and continued to cultivate.


    After destroying the Yin Family, Zhao Feng had gathered some Water-elemental and body-strengthening resources, which could allow him to cultivate for a while.


    At this moment in time, his cultivation had reached the late stages of the True Lord Rank and was still steadily rising, but there was still some force required to break through to the fourth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body.


    Seeing that, Zhao Feng put more energy into the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. The higher level the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was, the more efficiently he could use Wind Lightning to train his body.


    Several days later, Zhao Feng''s cultivation was closing in on the peak True Lord Rank, and the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was approaching the peak fourth level.


    "The Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body might be able to break through to the fourth level after half a month, and my cultivation might recover to the Origin Core Realm after two months," Zhao Feng murmured.


    His plan for his re-cultivation was precise. When he returned to the Void God Realm, his foundation would be much stronger than his previous life, which would increase the chances of him breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    On this day, Zhao Feng''s cultivation was interrupted.


    "Feng''er, the Luo Family has sent people over and they want to speak to you." Grandfather Zhao hurried over.


    "Luo Family?"


    Zhao Feng got up and walked out of the courtyard. A while later, Zhao Feng saw the representatives from the Luo Family in a lounge of the Zhao Family.


    A total of three people had come from the Luo Family. The middle person was an elder at the Origin Core Realm with a fat face and big ears who spoke, "Zhao Feng, I''ve come representing the Head of the Family to invite you to attend the banquet of the Luo Family and discuss the marriage. As for the Engagement Rejection Letter, the Head of the Family is willing to believe that it was done on a whim. I heard that Lady Shui''er''s impression of you isn''t bad either¡­."


    The flabby-faced elder kept on speaking while Zhao Feng and the other members of the Zhao Family were surprised.


    As for this banquet, Zhao Feng wasn''t interested and didn''t want to attend, and they only invited Zhao Feng.


    "Feng''er, this is probably a trap of the Luo Family." The upper echelon of the Zhao Family was worried. Grandfather Zhao even suspected that they were planning to murder Zhao Feng.


    "I''ve already written an Engagement Rejection Letter, there''s nothing else to be said." Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed, but the flabby-faced elder kept on speaking in an attempt to persuade Zhao Feng.


    "I''ll be leaving now." Zhao Feng was too lazy to care about anything else, and he was about to leave the three representatives behind and start cultivating again.


    "Brat, don''t get cocky." Seeing that, the flabby-faced elder finally became angry, "The Luo Family inviting you is giving you face¡­ a measly Zhao Family is nothing against the Luo Family! It would be like trying to break a rock with an egg."


    The flabby-faced elder swore and cursed. Zhao Feng started to understand; this was probably one of the Luo Family''s tricks. If they assaulted this representative, the Luo Family would have a legitimate reason to attack.


    At a certain moment, the sound of flying appeared alongside a half-step King Intent.


    "Is Zhao Feng here?" A general in blue floated in the air and took out a shining silver token.


    Weng~~


    The token expanded to a hundred yards wide and was surrounded by a purple dragon that connected with the fortune of the lord dynasty.


    "Duke Token!" The hearts of the Zhao Family upper echelon as well as the flabby-faced elder shook.


    "Greetings, Lord Duke." The upper echelon of the Zhao Family, the flabby-faced elder, and company were all extremely respectful, and those with low cultivation even kneeled down.


    "Yes, I am." Zhao Feng walked over expressionlessly.


    "Zhao Feng, the Duke Palace invites you as a guest." The general in blue smiled when his gaze landed on Zhao Feng, and he was somewhat respectful.


    "The Duke Palace¡­ is inviting Zhao Feng as a guest?" The three from the Luo Family acted as if they were choking.

 779 Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly

    Chapter 779 - Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was being invited by both the Luo Family and the Duke''s Palace.


    The flabby-faced elder and company had extremely colorful expressions.


    "General, I do want to visit the Duke''s Palace, but these friends from the Luo Family are forcing me to attend their banquet." Zhao Feng sighed innocently.


    Hearing that, the expressions of the three from the Luo Family changed dramatically, and they almost started to curse out loud.


    "What Luo Family?" The expression of the half-step King general in blue robes became ugly, and his Duke''s Token radiated a draconic power. With the help of the Duke''s Token, the half-step King general could release the power of a King.


    "No, no, no, no¡­ General, you''ve misunderstood us." The flabby-faced elder was frightened. Even if he had a hundred more guts, he wouldn''t dare to fight over a guest of the Duke''s Palace.


    The Duke''s Palace was the supreme ruler of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, which was the same as ruling a large swath of regular island zones. In terms of status, Duke Nanfeng was the younger brother of the Emperor; even the Eighth Prince needed to call him "Uncle Nanfeng." Even three-star powers didn''t dare to offend such a person easily.


    In theory, the Luo Family and the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan were in the territory of Duke Nanfeng.


    "Young¡­ Young Master Zhao, you can just come to the Luo Family after you''re done visiting the Duke''s Palace," the flabby-faced elder smiled and said.


    "That''s good." The general in blue smiled, and Zhao Feng left with the general in blue.


    "What''s going on? Why is Zhao Feng being invited by the Duke''s Palace? We need to report this to the Head of the Family and Young Master quickly."


    "Looks like we have to redo our plan on how we''re going to deal with the Zhao Family."


    The three from the Luo Family sighed. Once Zhao Feng and the Duke''s Palace formed a connection, it would be much more terrifying than his connection with a mere Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. After all, the Duke''s Palace was the supreme ruler of the entire Tianfeng Great Island Zone. With just a thought, Duke Nanfeng could decide who lived and who died.


    Half a day later, an enormous palace came into Zhao Feng''s view. Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye could sense the providence of a lord dynasty gathering here from far away.


    "So, this is the Duke''s Palace?" Zhao Feng sighed. The palace contained gardens, mountains, waterfalls, lakes¡­. There was everything one could think of, and it was similar to how the Demigod Forgotten Garden was set up. Instead of calling it a palace, it was better to consider it a small kingdom.


    "General, which noble invited me here?" Zhao Feng finally spoke. This was the first time he spoke since they left.


    Praise appeared on the general''s face. The patience of this fifteen-year-old beast tamer far surpassed others of his age.


    "You will know very soon. The Duke is also in the palace, and if you''re lucky, you might even be able to see him." The general in blue smiled without directly answering, and Zhao Feng didn''t ask anything else.


    He was slightly interested in the rankings of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    According to what he knew, the ranks were split into such: Emperor, Grand Duke, Duke, Marquess, and Earl.


    The highest was the Emperor ¨C the ruler of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Apart from the Emperor, the Grand Empress and the Empress were also considered to be at the level of an "Emperor" and "half-Emperor" respectively.


    Below the Emperor were Grand Dukes. Grand Dukes were extremely rare in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, and they controlled a province. A Grand Duke''s cultivation was usually at the Mystic Light Realm, and some were even the seniors of the Emperor.


    Below the Grand Dukes were Dukes; they usually ruled a great island zone or several island zones.


    Duke Nanfeng was one of the elites amongst the Dukes.


    Some said that, apart from status, there was no meaning in obtaining a rank. If they thought like that though, they were extremely wrong. This was because there was the fortune of "providence."


    The higher one''s rank was, the more providence they received from the lord dynasty. For example, the current Great Gan Sacred Emperor could use all the providence of the lord dynasty.


    Even someone with trash talent could break through to the Void God Realm easily if they became the Great Gan Sacred Emperor. Furthermore, the imperial bloodline was extremely strong; almost every Sacred Emperor had the cultivation of an Emperor or Sacred Lord. From this, one could see the use of the lord dynasty''s providence.


    Anyone below the Emperor level could use a certain amount of providence from the lord dynasty as long as they had a rank. The power of providence was extremely profound; it could increase one''s cultivation and other aspects. As long as one''s providence was strong enough, they could even change their destiny. Therefore, many experts in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty wanted to acquire a rank of nobility.


    Which means that if anyone wants to create a lord dynasty in the territory of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, they will immediately be sensed by the Great Gan Lord Dynasty since it affects their providence, Zhao Feng understood. He only realized this after merging with Heaven and Earth here.


    The reason why the lord dynasty of the Azure Flower Continent was destroyed in one night was because of this. As long as the Great Gan Lord Dynasty sensed that there was a lord dynasty being built, they would issue a mission and let the clans and forces of the dynasty take care of it.


    "Sir Zhao, please wait a moment." The general in blue led Zhao Feng to a big building, and the latter just stood there and looked around.


    The general in blue soon came out with a smile; "The Princess invites you in."


    "Princess?" Zhao Feng paused faintly and started to search through his memories, but he didn''t think much about it and slowly walked in.


    Zhao Feng saw someone the moment he walked in. It was an elegant male wearing dragon robes.


    "It''s¡­ it''s you!" Zhao Feng and the elegant male said at the same time, and they were surprised at each other being present.


    "Eighth Prince."


    "Zhao Feng."


    The two both spoke simultaneously.


    "Hehe¡­. Brother Zhao, it seems we are fated to meet one another." The Eighth Prince''s expression turned back to normal as he gave a smile. Before he left, he heard that the Princess had invited a beast tamer, but he didn''t pay much attention to that.


    "You two know each other¡­?" a clear voice sounded from the depths of a courtyard.


    The Eighth Prince shook his head with a smile as he walked with Zhao Feng toward the courtyard.


    Weird¡­ how does this Zhao Feng know the Eighth Prince? The general in blue was surprised, but he bowed and left.


    Stepping on the red petals that covered the ground, Zhao Feng and the Eighth Prince soon reached the building in the depths of the courtyard.


    A noble young girl stood in front of the building. She wore a stunning dress, and although she was young, she was extremely pretty. At first glance, she fit the criteria of the princesses from books and fairytales.


    "Princess?" Zhao Feng felt that she looked familiar; this young girl fit the image of the young girl in purple that was in the Wuyou Forest. At that moment, Zhao Feng''s target was the Yinming Bird, so he only gave a single glance to the young girl and company. He didn''t expect her to be the Princess of the Duke''s Palace.


    The Eighth Prince and the Princess should be cousins.


    "Zhao Feng, it''s indeed you! You''re the mysterious beast tamer I was searching for," the Princess smiled and said with happiness.


    The two were both around fifteen years of age, so there was no generation gap between them.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng was slightly surprised, the Princess quickly introduced herself, "I''m Zhou Yuqing."


    Zhou Yuqing¡­. Princess Yuqing. Zhao Feng nodded and acted very casual.


    "Yuqing, how did you meet Zhao Feng?" the Eight Prince asked. He was initially going to leave, but he changed his mind after seeing that the person Princess Yuqing wanted to see was Zhao Feng.


    "We met in Wuyou Forest¡­" Zhou Yuqing was slightly excited and told him how she saw Zhao Feng easily tame the Yinming Bird.


    The Eighth Prince''s eyes twinkled when he heard about it.


    Looks like this Zhao Feng specializes in the Dao of the Soul. The Eighth Prince''s mouth curled up.


    The reason he stayed behind was to understand Zhao Feng better. He didn''t know why, but the Eighth Prince felt that Zhao Feng was similar to Xin Wuheng.


    Xin Wuheng was a genius that had risen in the lord dynasty in the last few years. He was ranked 39th in the Great Gan Imperial Genius Rankings with just the cultivation of a half-step King.


    The top five hundred geniuses came from across the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, but the top one hundred came from the imperials, the Eight Big Families, or three- and four-star powers. However, Xin Wuheng didn''t come from any clan or family and yet he was able to rank in the thirties with the cultivation of a half-step King. His cultivation was the lowest amongst the top two hundred ranks.


    "Princess Yuqing, you didn''t invite me here just to see me, right?" Zhao Feng asked.


    Hearing that, Princess Yuqing''s face turned slightly red, but it quickly faded away.


    She was unable to forget the image of the mysterious purple-haired youth taming the Yinming Bird. The youth had dreamy purple hair and a handsome face. He gave off a cold aura, and he appeared in her mind occasionally.


    Being a young girl around fifteen years old, she liked heroes, especially those around her age who were also mysterious and handsome.


    In this new body, Zhao Feng had a more handsome face that was attractive to females.


    "Zhao Feng, I invited you here to help me with something." Princess Yuqing calmed down and returned to her noble and elegant self.


    "Oh?" The Eighth Prince was interested. If the Duke''s Palace was unable to resolve it, then it wouldn''t be something simple. He could use this chance to understand Zhao Feng better as well.


    "Look." Princess Yuqing acted mysteriously and took out a delicate, transparent bottle.


    A small silkworm around the size of a thumb could be seen, and it somehow had a pair of wings. The little silkworm was like a work of art. It was chubby, but it had fallen asleep, and its aura was weak. Even though there was a unique bottle containing it, the small silkworm still gave off an ancient aura.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped out and stood on Zhao Feng''s shoulder as its eyes started to spin.


    "Cloud Silk Saint Butterfly!" The Eighth Prince couldn''t help but exclaim when he saw this silkworm. "Yuqing, is this the legendary insect of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races from your father''s collection?"

 780 One Breath

    Chapter 780 - One Breath


    "Yuqing, is this the legendary insect of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races from your father''s collection!?" the Eighth Prince exclaimed.


    A bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races was rare even in the continent zone, and this was a precious insect of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    Zhao Feng had read the Ten Thousand Ancient Races Ranking in the Demigod Forgotten Garden; the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were spread across the world after the ancient continent shattered, and almost all of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were extinct.


    The bloodline of a Ten Thousand Ancient Races insect is usually much purer than a human''s. Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled as he inspected the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly.


    The Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly was an original race from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and although it was only ranked in the seven hundreds, its bloodline was stronger than Zhao Feng''s Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline before at the same cultivation.


    Although rankings were important, the purity and quantity were even more important. For example, if Zhao Yufei''s Spirit Race bloodline awakened by even half, it would cause the color of Heaven and Earth to change, and it would suppress all the other races. If the first-ranked Ancient Race appeared with their God Demon Bodies, space itself wouldn''t be able to withstand it.


    "The Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly is one of the four most beautiful races of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Its abilities are also extremely unique; it can switch between three different states ¨C Silkworm, Dragonfly, and Butterfly. It is a rare three-state lifeform." The Eighth Prince looked at the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly as if he was looking at a work of art. This creature was enticing even for him, but there was a sign of regret on his face.


    "The Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly is in deep sleep due to an unknown reason."


    Zhao Feng looked at it. It could be said that the aura of life from the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly was extremely weak, and sometimes it even stopped entirely.


    "Zhao Feng, the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly has been sleeping for many years. It was like this even when I was born. I''ve never heard of any beast tamer able to awaken it." Princess Yuqing''s eyes glinted with expectation. The image of Zhao Feng''s abilities in Wuyou Forest entered her heart.


    Zhao Feng instantly understood.


    "Yuqing, this is your father''s rare insect. How can you let a random beast tamer mess with it? What if something bad happens¡­?" The Eighth Prince''s expression changed dramatically.


    Even old and experienced beast tamers were unable to awaken the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly, let alone the extremely young Zhao Feng.


    Even if it was sleeping, the value of the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly couldn''t be measured. Even Emperors and Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords were interested.


    "I feel like he''s different from other beast tamers, so I snuck father''s Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly out. I just want to increase father''s strength." Tears seemed to form in Princess Yuqing''s eyes.


    The sympathetic look she had on her face made the Eighth Prince unable to blame her. Furthermore, he also wanted to see how talented Zhao Feng was, and he was certainly willing to see Zhao Feng make some sort of mistake and anger Duke Nanfeng. If Zhao Feng offended Duke Nanfeng, even the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan would be unable to save him.


    "Zhao Feng, do you think the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly can still be saved?" Princess Yuqing had a pitiful expression on her face.


    Zhao Feng could sense the belief in her eyes, but he didn''t know why she believed in him so much. Seeing it though, Zhao Feng nodded his head and started to inspect the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat also appeared and circled the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly, as if trying to signal something.


    During this process, Zhao Feng''s left eye was covered in a misty purple illusion as he looked at the glass bottle containing the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly closely.


    "This Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly should have undergone some sort of battle and was injured from that¡­." Zhao Feng said calmly.


    Hearing that, the eyes of Princess Yuqing lit up; "That''s right."


    The Eighth Prince looked at Zhao Feng weirdly. Zhao Feng''s analysis was correct, and he was sure that Zhao Feng didn''t know about the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly beforehand.


    "Not only has it lost its essence, its consciousness is also in danger. What''s more terrible is that it has opened its defensive mechanism and rejects outside help." Zhao Feng continued to analyze.


    Through the God''s Spiritual Eye, he could perfectly see the situation within the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly. Even Emperors and Mystic Light Realms didn''t have the power to see with such precision.


    "His analysis is extremely close to the beast tamer from the Tianliang Province." Princess Yuqing was shocked.


    It seemed as if Zhao Feng''s beast taming skills weren''t weaker than a Grandmaster. Back then, a Beast Tamer Grandmaster had spent the same amount of time to come up with an analysis similar to Zhao Feng''s.


    This Zhao Feng¡­ The expression of the Eighth Prince froze. It looked as if Zhao Feng was truly talented.


    Princess Yuqing was filled with admiration and expectation. Was there such a young, handsome, and talented Beast Tamer anywhere else in the entire lord dynasty? At this moment, Princess Yuqing couldn''t help but plan that, even if Zhao Feng couldn''t succeed, she needed to help her father recruit this genius.


    "Zhao Feng, do you have any way of waking it up?" Princess Yuqing''s face was red like an apple.


    "I only have a 50% chance." Zhao Feng smiled faintly. He didn''t really care too much, but the secret of the ancients as well as Princess Yuqing''s purity moved him.


    50%? The Eighth Prince''s eyebrows twitched, and Princess Yuqing''s mouth opened slightly. The former was suspicious, and the latter felt incredulous.


    50%! Countless Beast Tamers had entered the Duke''s Palace, but none of them ever said that they had a 50% chance. Putting aside 50%, none of them even said 20%. Even 10% was considered high among their estimates.


    50% was a shocking amount.


    "If I wake it up, I need some resources and rewards," Zhao Feng said. This meant that he wouldn''t do it for free.


    "Of course, if you manage to wake it, my father will satisfy you with whatever you want." Princess Yuqing nodded her head.


    "I''ll only do a preliminary analysis right now. If there''s hope of waking it up, I''ll go back and prepare," Zhao Feng said. After he said this, he closed his eyes and merged his mind into the blue whirlpool at the center of his left eye''s dimension.


    Whoosh!


    In the next instant, Zhao Feng entered an ancient land.


    The force of the Ancient Dream Realm made Zhao Feng''s body heavy, and his face went slightly red. With Zhao Feng''s current physical body-strength, he was able to stay in the Ancient Dream Realm for at least a couple breaths; his lifeforce and soul-strength were more than enough to achieve that much.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng inhaled deeply, then instantly exited from the Ancient Dream Realm. He then immediately let out a breath toward the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly.


    The aura was extremely stealthy, and he had fused some aura from his God''s Spiritual Eye as well.


    In that instant, the bloodlines of both the Eighth Prince and Princess Yuqing felt pressured. Shock appeared on the Eighth Prince''s face.


    Hu~~


    The two watched in surprise as Zhao Feng exhaled toward the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly. Could this "divine breath" from Zhao Feng save the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly?


    An incredulous scene happened.


    Pa!


    The half-transparent wings of the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly fluttered slightly.


    "It moved?" Princess Yuqing and the Eighth Prince stared at the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly. If they hadn''t been paying careful attention, they would''ve thought it was just an illusion, but the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly had indeed moved just now.


    As expected, the bloodline of the God''s Spiritual Eye can shock even the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. In addition, the aura of the Ancient Dream Realm is extremely close to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, so they can easily absorb it¡­. Zhao Feng secretly nodded his head.


    The little thieving cat suggested doing this. The little thieving cat seemed to understand every type of animal, and it also had the ability to communicate with them.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re incredible! The Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly really moved!" Princess Yuqing was overjoyed while the Eighth Prince was slightly dazed.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng was like a monster in his eyes. This youth made even Luo Zun, a genius on the Imperial Rankings, feel defeated, and now a mere breath of his made the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly move. Such talent wasn''t something normal people could have.


    "Okay, now that I''ve confirmed that I can awaken the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly, I need to go back and prepare for a month," Zhao Feng said, declining Princess Yuqing''s invitation to stay, and left behind a list of materials. Some of the materials were needed to awaken the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly while others were for his personal use.


    Not long after Zhao Feng left, in front of a lake in the Duke''s Palace.


    "Hmm¡­ the aura of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races? Wait, it''s the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly!" The expression of a male in golden robes changed.


    Shua!


    The male in gold disappeared. He radiated an unusual Imperial Power mixed with the providence of the lord dynasty.


    At the same moment:


    "Father!"


    "Thirteenth Uncle."


    Princess Yuqing and the Eighth Prince were extremely obedient when they saw the male, and they both bowed. The newcomer was Duke Nanfeng, the ruler of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    "Yuqing, you snuck out the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly that was being healed in the Life Source Building?" Duke Nanfeng''s expression was slightly ugly as he looked at the glass bottle in Princess Yuqing''s hand.


    "Father, there was a Beast Tamer just now that made the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly-" Princess Yuqing quickly tried to explain, but an Imperial Power took away the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly halfway through her explanation.


    "Hmm?" Duke Nanfeng scanned his Divine Sense across the bottle and instantly revealed a weird look. "Impossible, why are the signs of life inside the Cloud Silkworm Sacred Butterfly becoming stronger¡­?"

 781 Registration

    Chapter 781 - Registration


    Within a red courtyard of the Duke''s Palace:


    "You said that a single breath from that youth managed to make signs of life appear in the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly?" Duke Nanfeng was stunned when he heard the explanation from the two. If it was just Princess Yuqing alone, he might be suspicious and think that it was exaggerated, but the Eighth Prince had seen it as well, and he wasn''t someone to lie.


    "Yuqing, why didn''t you make such a talented person stay behind and let me see him?" Duke Nanfeng chastised.


    Being one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly slept extremely deeply, and even Grandmaster-level Beast Tamers couldn''t do anything.


    He then prepared to send people to invite Zhao Feng back.


    "Father¡­ wait! Zhao Feng said that he''s going back to prepare and that this was just a test. We shouldn''t interrupt him." Princess Yuqing quickly stopped him.


    "That''s true." Duke Nanfeng nodded his head, then asked Princess Yuqing and the Eighth Prince about Zhao Feng.


    "Oh? The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan?"


    Duke Nanfeng immediately sent experts to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan to protect Zhao Feng in secret. Zhao Feng was now related to whether the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly could awaken or not, so nothing could happen to him.


    If the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly successfully awakens, I have a chance to return to the Sacred Division and become someone that can move the lord dynasty¡­. Duke Nanfeng murmured in his heart, and battle-intent started to burn in the depths of his eyes.


    Although the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly wasn''t a completely offense-oriented insect, only a small number of people knew its true value.


    Elsewhere, Zhao Feng returned to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan on the Yinming Bird.


    When I awaken the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly next time, I''ll be able to get some Soul Dao resources from the Duke''s Palace, Zhao Feng thought.


    If he tried his best, it wasn''t impossible for him to awaken the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly immediately, but that would make him tired. He wanted to complete it over several visits. Firstly, he didn''t want to make it seem like awakening it was simple, and secondly, he would be able to obtain more resources.


    Of course, Zhao Feng couldn''t drag it out for too long because there was only about eighty days left till the Divine Illusion Dimension opened. Therefore, Zhao Feng needed to awaken the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly within three months.


    The "preparation" he mentioned was cultivation.


    Later that day, Zhao Feng entered seclusion.


    Over the past few days of doing missions, selling spiritual pets, and destroying the Yin Family, he had acquired quite a few resources, and he wouldn''t need any more for a while.


    Zhao Feng said down as Water-elemental materials of all kinds and shapes appeared. He also took out many body-strengthening materials. The amount here was enough to make the eyes of Origin Core Realms go red.


    To increase the rate of his cultivation, he needed to rely on resources.


    The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body were both extremely high-tier; it was hard to obtain similar skills even in four-star forces. In addition, since he was just "recovering," Zhao Feng wasn''t worried about his foundation being unstable. Furthermore, the Sacred Lightning Body and the Wind Lightning Technique complimented each other, making his foundation even tougher.


    Time flew by quickly, and more than a dozen days passed. Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique reached the peak fourth level, and his Source of True Spirit was in the shape of liquified lightning and water that glittered beautifully.


    His Water of Wind Lightning had now completely formed. The Water of Wind Lightning increased the speed and damage of his Wind Lightning, and it had the ability to change shape. Furthermore, the Water of Wind Lightning was extremely useful when cleansing his body and healing his injuries.


    "Using the Water of Wind Lightning as the first layer of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning is not a bad choice." Zhao Feng was satisfied.


    Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng spread his palm, and an ice-blue liquid appeared.


    "Ice Imperial Spear!"


    The ball of liquid turned into the shape of a spear, then it turned into a piece of armor on Zhao Feng''s body. The armor rippled; it was able to change into different forms.


    This time around, because he had the Water of Wind Lightning, he could utilize the Ice Imperial Spear even more proficiently.


    The God''s Spiritual Eye changed his body and gave him the Water bloodline. Now that he could use the Ice Imperial Spear as he pleased, Zhao Feng''s strength increased dramatically.


    Another few days later, Zhao Feng''s Water of Wind Lightning surrounded his body and created loud sounds. At a certain moment, a silver-blue metallic light glittered around his body, as if he was a statue of silver ice.


    An invisible force of body-strength surged from Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    The room that Zhao Feng was in shook, and a mere shockwave almost destroyed the entire house. This was Zhao Feng purposely not using his full power.


    The material of every brick in the world of cultivation was not simple. For example, the room Zhao Feng was in could withstand several attacks from normal True Spirit Realms and not be crushed.


    "Fourth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body!"


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath. He felt that every inch of his body contained the power of a bull.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng used an incomplete Earth-grade weapon and sliced it on his arm, but sparks flew everywhere instead of blood.


    "What strong defense!"


    Zhao Feng felt the limitless power in his body, and he felt confident. He could now fight against Origin Core Realm Sovereigns with just his body alone.


    After reaching the fourth level of the Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng consolidated his foundation before cultivating the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    Because his Intent was strong, it was easier for him to cultivate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. However, Intent didn''t do much for body-strengthening.


    On this day, in the hall of the Luo Family, more than a dozen members of the Luo Family upper echelon gathered together.


    "Hmph! Once we use this plan, the resources from the Zhao Family''s mines will not be sold, and they will have a deficit within half a year."


    "Hahaha¡­. With the help of the Three Cloud Flying Bandits, the Zhao Family won''t be able to truly control the Yunling area. They won''t even have a chance to rest."


    The Head of the Luo Family and several elders had deadly smiles. Although they were unable to attack the Zhao Family directly, they could use under-the-table moves to create chaos and destroy them from the inside.


    "Without using any soldiers or shedding blood, and yet still able to win. It''s true that the older one is, the wiser they are." Luo Zun had a bright smile as he sat next to his father.


    Right at this moment, a weird Magnificent Power of a King that reached Heaven and Earth descended on the hall of the Luo Family.


    Void God Realm King! The bodies of the upper echelon members became heavy.


    "Eighth Prince?" Luo Zun was surprised as he looked at the dragon-robed male.


    "Luo Zun!" The expression of the Eighth Prince was solemn. "You definitely can''t attack the Zhao Family or even offend Zhao Feng right now or else the Luo Family will be killed."


    "What!?" Hearing that, chaos broke out within the hall. If this was said by someone else, they would snicker, but this was the Eighth Prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    A while later, within a secret hall of the Luo Family, the Eighth Prince, Luo Zun, and the Head of the Luo Family gathered together to talk in private.


    "Duke Nanfeng¡­ praises that Zhao Feng? Even Princess Yuqing likes him?"


    Luo Zun was faintly dazed, while the Head of the Luo Family was drenched in cold sweat.


    Duke Nanfeng was the ruler of the great island zone and a relative of the imperials. Furthermore, Duke Nanfeng was a peak-tier Emperor himself. With the addition of the lord dynasty''s providence, his strength was immeasurable.


    One of the main reasons the Eighth Prince even came to the Tianfeng Great Island Zone was to try to recruit Duke Nanfeng and the forces behind him.


    The lord dynasty was at a very sensitive stage right now. According to the rule, the current Great Gan Sacred Emperor only had less than ten years left on his five hundred years of being the Emperor.


    The Sacred Emperor had the assistance of the entire lord dynasty''s providence; unless it was a special circumstance, one couldn''t be the Sacred Emperor twice.


    The birth of any Sacred Emperor represented the battle between different forces. Some families, three-star forces, and even four-star powers would join in the fight for the position of Sacred Emperor.


    Even though he wasn''t the favorite to become Crown Prince, the Eighth Prince was going for it as well. This was the main reason he was at the Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    In the blink of an eye, it had been one month since Zhao Feng had returned from the Duke''s Palace. Over this past month, Zhao Feng was in seclusion.


    His cultivation had finally recovered to the half-step Origin Core Realm, and it was time for the disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan to start registering for the Divine Illusion Trials.


    The Divine Illusion Trials were used to compete for the clan''s Divine Illusion Dimension spots.


    Being a three-star force in its past, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan obviously had the array to connect to the Divine Illusion Dimension, but it could only send in one hundred people.


    The aim of the Divine Illusion Trials was to find the one hundred to send in.


    Of the one hundred spots, seventy or so spots were given to the younger generation while the older generation took up the remaining thirty or so spots.


    The rules for gaining a spot were different for each force, but they all placed greater importance on the younger generation since they had more potential.


    There was a long line in front of a big hall of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. There were almost two thousand elites registering. The Divine Illusion Dimension wasn''t an inheritance that had an age limit ¨C anyone below a King could register.


    "Next." An elder with a beard was taking the registrations.


    "Zhao Feng." Zhao Feng went up and took out his identity token.


    "Zhao Feng?" The eyes of the bearded elder became bigger as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    The name of "Zhao Feng" was known across the clan, and there were countless stories about him. Apparently, he was a beast tamer who was praised by Duke Nanfeng himself.


    There''s still one month left till the Divine Illusion Trials.


    Zhao Feng left the clan on the Yinming Bird. Zhao Feng had received a letter from the Zhao Family stating that the Luo Family came and apologized.


    Several hours later, Zhao Feng reached the Duke''s Palace on the Yinming Bird. The Duke''s Palace had received news of him coming before he even arrived.


    "Zhao Feng!" Princess Yuqing exclaimed, and her face turned red with joy.


    However, the atmosphere outside the Duke''s Palace was solemn, and the nearby servants and soldiers didn''t even dare to breathe out loud.


    A powerful male in golden robes stood with his hands behind his back outside the palace.


    Duke Nanfeng¡­ came to greet Zhao Feng personally!

 782 Duke Nanfeng

    Chapter 782 - Duke Nanfeng


    The Eighth Prince was slightly dazed as he stood outside the palace. He was here to accompany Princess Yuqing in greeting Zhao Feng, but he never would have imagined that Duke Nanfeng ¨C the owner of the Duke''s Palace ¨C would be here as well with his hands behind his back.


    Duke Nanfeng watched the approaching Yinming Bird, and Zhao Feng felt a sense of pressure from the gaze as soon as he arrived. The pressure was able to pass through his soul, and it seemed like it could look through anything.


    Duke Nanfeng? Zhao Feng was slightly surprised as his eyes landed on the middle-aged male in gold.


    There were only a few Void God Realm Emperors in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone. Duke Nanfeng was one of the elites, and one could tell just by looking at the amount of providence he possessed.


    The moment their gazes met, Zhao Feng could roughly estimate Duke Nanfeng''s strength.


    Duke Nanfeng was definitely a peak-tier Emperor, and his cultivation was almost at the Mystic Light Realm. Apart from that, he also obviously had a strong surge of providence radiating from his body.


    Zhao Feng guessed that Duke Nanfeng''s strength was at least comparable to the Emperor of Death, but just in terms of pure battle-power. In terms of terrifyingness, the Emperor of Death had the Eye of Death and many forbidden techniques, such as the Cursed Words of Death and the Shadow of the Death God. Those skills alone could make even Mystic Light Realms wary.


    The future generation is to be feared. A light flashed through Duke Nanfeng''s eyes as his gaze met Zhao Feng''s. At the same time, he was surprised; this youth that was only fourteen or fifteen years old acted perfectly fine even though he was meeting a Duke.


    "To what do I owe the honor of having the Duke greet me personally?" Zhao Feng bowed respectfully.


    At the same moment, Princess Yuqing walked over; there was expectation and admiration in her eyes.


    "Zhao Feng, come in and talk." Duke Nanfeng smiled.


    A while later, in a garden of the Duke''s Palace, Duke Nanfeng, the Eighth Prince, Zhao Feng, and Princess Yuqing sat in a pavilion. Zhao Feng took a sip of tea and glanced at the scenery outside; there were birds chirping, and it was very pleasant. Zhao Feng couldn''t help but admire the wealth of the Duke''s Palace. Any random flower or tree here was an expensive spiritual plant. Some were even extinct in the outside world.


    Cultivating here would be much better than the outside world. From this, one could see what kind of treatment the big families and powerful nobles received.


    In the beginning, Duke Nanfeng asked about Zhao Feng''s family situation as well as the clan.


    One such question was, "Little Friend Zhao, is the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan treating you well?"


    This sentence caught the Eighth Prince''s attention.


    "Looks like Duke Nanfeng wants to recruit Zhao Feng regardless of whether or not he awakens the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly," the Eighth Prince murmured.


    Zhao Feng gave the standard replies and soon changed to the topic of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. This was because Zhao Feng was placing more importance on his "recovery," so he wasn''t really interested in authority or anything like that. Right now, what he needed to do was enter the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "Good, good, Little Friend Zhao is a very straightforward person," Duke Nanfeng praised. He could tell that Zhao Feng was honest and didn''t like to go in circles.


    Duke Nanfeng told the nearby servants to leave, then took out a transparent glass bottle. A chubby little silkworm with crystalline skin and a pair of half-transparent wings was sleeping inside, and it looked like a piece of jade. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s aura of life was extremely weak and sometimes even stopped altogether.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye glittered with a purple light.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped out of the ancient metal ring and lay in front of the bottle, looking inside with interest.


    The unusualness of the cat and human duo made Duke Nanfeng''s eyes twinkle.


    "Zhao Feng, these are the resources you wanted." Duke Nanfeng handed over an interspatial ring, which Zhao Feng took. He nodded his head faintly as he counted the resources. There was an Elixir of Life and a bunch of Soul Dao treasures within the interspatial ring.


    Zhao Feng then took out a faint red liquid from the ancient metal ring, and it looked like some kind of fruit juice.


    "This is a medicine I created over the past month," Zhao Feng explained.


    Duke Nanfeng was surprised. According to the news he had received, Zhao Feng was in seclusion during the past month.


    In reality, Zhao Feng casually created this in his spare time. After reaching the fourth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng could stay in the Ancient Dream Realm for a while. This liquid contained dew from a tree and water from the river within the Ancient Dream Realm. Apart from that, half of an Ancient Dream Realm Spiritual Fruit was crushed into juice.


    These materials all contained the essence of the Ancient Dream Realm, and they had an aura similar to the Ancient Era.


    The Spiritual Fruits from the Ancient Dream Realm could only be slowly absorbed, so there wasn''t much issue using some for this medicine. If the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body reached another level, it could increase the rate of absorption dramatically.


    Zhao Feng then put the Elixir of Life and some liquid-based Soul Dao resources into the "fruit juice." Throughout the process, the fruit juice gave off a fragrance.


    Zhao Feng then told Duke Nanfeng to put the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly into the fruit juice.


    In the past, whenever the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly slept, it would open its defensive mechanisms automatically and reject any outside power. However, when the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was put into this juice, there were no signs of rejection.


    Gulu!


    An air bubble formed in the fruit juice, and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly seemed to be extremely familiar with and close to this juice.


    This scene didn''t surprise Zhao Feng. Last time, he gave it a breath of the Ancient Dream Realm''s aura, and in order to reactivate the lifeforce within the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s body now, Zhao Feng even used the eye-bloodline Soul power of the God''s Spiritual Eye and merged it into the liquid.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and started to communicate with the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    The combination of Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye and the little thieving cat''s weird language caused the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s wings to gently flutter, and its chubby body also moved slightly.


    "The signs of life are becoming stronger¡­!" Duke Nanfeng revealed an overjoyed look. At this moment in time, even his imperial bloodline shook in front of Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline. The little thieving cat''s weird language also seemed to contain a profound rhythm.


    Duke Nanfeng didn''t know anything about the mysteriousness of this cat and human even with all his expertise and knowledge.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline Soul power started releasing the aura of God Tribulation Lightning, and the chubby Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s body and wings slightly shook as it opened its eyes.


    The moment it opened its eyes, an aura of the Ancient Era caused the bloodlines of countless beings within the Duke''s Palace to tremble.


    "What a terrifying gaze!" Zhao Feng clicked his tongue. It was indeed worthy of being one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races; it was still extremely weak and had only just woken up and yet it was still so powerful.


    In order to make sure there was no enmity, Zhao Feng took back his eye-bloodline power.


    Miao miao miao!


    On the other hand, the little thieving cat waved its paws and talked to the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly seemed to understand, and the enmity in its eyes faded. Its body then started to absorb the fruit juice.


    Weng~~


    A dazzling rainbow-colored light glittered on the half-transparent wings of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, but its aura was terrifying. Even the Eighth Prince, with his Void God Realm cultivation, felt his bloodline tremble.


    The cultivation of this Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly is at least at the Void God Realm Emperor level, and it can threaten Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords with its unique bloodline abilities¡­. Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled.


    He understood a bit about the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. It had three forms ¨C Silkworm, Dragonfly, and Butterfly.


    The silkworm state was relatively weaker, but it could spit out a unique silk called Cloud Saint Silk, which was very strong and resistant to fire. This Cloud Saint Silk was the best material to create light armor.


    The dragonfly state had stronger defense, and even those that were a rank higher would find it hard to destroy it head-on. In other words, even a Mystic Light Realm wouldn''t be able to destroy it.


    The butterfly state had the strongest offense; it was extremely agile, and it radiated a strange pollen that had a mysterious power.


    A while later, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had absorbed half of the fruit juice and recovered some of its lifeforce.


    "It''s finally awake!" Duke Nanfeng couldn''t contain his joy. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had the ability to change his destiny.


    Zhao Feng knew that, although the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly wasn''t ranked very high among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, its supportive capabilities were extremely strong.


    "The last time the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly appeared was in the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty, where they succeeded in killing a Mystic Light Realm beast, and it ended up playing a critical role in doing so." The Eighth Prince couldn''t help but be envious.


    In addition, he also knew that the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s pollen could help someone form their Mystic Light Sacred Body, combining their soul and body into one. As a peak-tier Emperor, it wouldn''t be hard for Duke Nanfeng to break through to the Mystic Light Realm in the future.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly fell asleep some time later.


    "The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s lifeforce has been reignited. The Duke only needs to give it some Life and Soul treasures, and it will recover to its peak," Zhao Feng said.


    The next time he came over, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly would probably be fully awakened.


    "Zhao Feng, thank you. Apart from the rewards, I will also owe you a favor." Duke Nanfeng was extremely grateful, and his face was red. He seemed to be extremely excited, and he even patted Zhao Feng''s shoulder.


    The Eighth Prince sighed in his heart. Zhao Feng had already won the Duke''s gratitude and praise.


    Next came the rewards and compensation.


    "Zhao Feng, if you''re willing to join the Duke''s Palace, I am willing to give you the tricentennial rank of Marquis," Duke Nanfeng said in a solemn tone.


    Marquis!?


    The Eighth Prince''s and the Princess''s hearts jumped.

 783 You’ve Changed

    Chapter 783 - You''ve Changed


    The nobility ranks of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty were as follows: Grand Duke, Duke, Marquis, Earl, and Viscount.


    The title of Marquis not only represented status and power, it also allowed one to gain providence of the lord dynasty.


    Providence gave benefits to one''s fortune and cultivation. More providence allowed one to have a higher chance of breaking through, it could increase one''s battle-power, and it could increase one''s endurance. Those with great providence also had greater fortune, but of course, that was only within the territory of the lord dynasty.


    Therefore, countless experts fought one another to obtain the title of Marquis, but at this moment in time, the dream of billions of people was right in front of Zhao Feng.


    This is the title of a Marquis¡­! Surprise was written all over the Eighth Prince''s and Princess Yuqing''s faces.


    Even as a Duke and an imperial, Duke Nanfeng only had the power to give one Marquis title every three hundred years. Marquises needed to go to the Imperial Capital to be personally inducted by the Sacred Emperor. From this, one could see how hard it was to obtain the title of Marquis.


    Over the past couple years, the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty was constantly attacking the Great Gan Lord Dynasty and weakening its providence, and there was a limited amount of spots for the nobility.


    If Zhao Feng becomes a Marquis, he will become the most powerful person in the area aside from Duke Nanfeng. The Eighth Prince couldn''t help but worry for the Luo Family. Alongside gaining the title of Marquis, one would gain a territory as well.


    "Thank you for your kind intentions," Zhao Feng spoke after thinking for a short moment, "However, I want to focus on cultivating, and I won''t be staying in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone for too long. Therefore, I can''t join the Duke''s Palace."


    It wasn''t that Zhao Feng was unmoved by the benefits of becoming a Marquis, but it came with a price. For example, Zhao Feng didn''t necessarily want to side with Duke Nanfeng so quickly. He would go to the continent zone after recovering to the Void God Realm to meet up with Duanmu Qing and Zhao Yufei, and as one of the eight biggest super-families in the lord dynasty, the Duanmu Family might not be on Duke Nanfeng''s side.


    "I won''t force you into making a decision. There won''t be any less compensation, and I''ll still owe you a favor," Duke Nanfeng said slightly regretfully. He wasn''t placing great importance on Zhao Feng just because of his beast taming abilities; he also saw great potential within Zhao Feng''s body.


    The Eighth Prince and Princess Yuqing were in disbelief when Zhao Feng rejected the title of Marquis.


    "Zhao Feng, you actually rejected my father?" Princess Yuqing looked angry. Duke Nanfeng offering Zhao Feng the title of Marquis made Princess Yuqing surprised and happy, but Zhao Feng declined.


    This Zhao Feng is not simple¡­. The Eighth Prince felt that this youth was covered in mist, and he was unable to see through him.


    After everyone calmed down, the atmosphere became joyful again. Later that day, the Duke decided to hold a banquet to thank Zhao Feng, and he had to stay due to the Duke''s and Princess Yuqing''s invitations.


    Some of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone''s nearby nobles were also invited. The location was the garden of the Duke''s Palace.


    As more and more people arrived, the atmosphere started to become rowdy, and Zhao Feng let himself relax a bit.


    Night soon arrived, and the sound of singing and dancing could be heard. Princess Yuqing stood next to Zhao Feng and introduced her friends, but he wasn''t interested.


    "Zhao Feng," the voice of a dominant male sounded at a certain point in time.


    Zhao Feng looked over and saw a familiar person. He didn''t think that the Luo Family would also be invited.


    Luo Zun, the Head of the Luo Family, and the Void God Realm King Grand Elder of the Luo Family were all present.


    This banquet was different than usual. Some people would try to get in even if they didn''t receive an invitation. After all, this banquet was being held by the ruler of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    As one of the top three families in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, the Luo Family''s relationship with the Duke''s Palace wasn''t bad, and Luo Zun was the number one genius of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    "Brother Luo, how may I help you?" Zhao Feng smiled and inspected those from the Luo Family.


    The Head of the Luo Family squeezed out a smile and didn''t have his usual strictness. Luo Zun''s expression was forced. They obviously knew that the protagonist of this banquet was Zhao Feng. Who would dare to offend Zhao Feng or the Yunling Zhao Family after this?


    "Zhao Feng, my little sister wants to meet you," Luo Zun said expressionlessly. He felt more unwilling and defeated than ever before. Although Zhao Feng might not be able to defeat him in a fight, Zhao Feng was less than half his age. This feeling was only below that of being defeated by Xin Wuheng in public.


    "Little sister? Luo Shui''er?" Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly as his eyes scanned around.


    Luo Shui''er was talented, and her beauty was known across the Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    Princess Yuqing''s eyes couldn''t help but perk up when she heard the name "Luo Shui''er," and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. The Duke''s Palace had obviously scouted out information regarding Zhao Feng; Princess Yuqing knew that Luo Shui''er was Zhao Feng''s fianc¨¦e and that the Eighth Prince liked her.


    "Hmph, let''s see how good-looking this Luo Shui''er is." Princess Yuqing harrumphed.


    "Shui''er only wants to meet Zhao Feng in private." Luo Zun was relatively respectful to Princess Yuqing.


    "Princess Yuqing, I''ll leave for just a moment." Zhao Feng smiled at Princess Yuqing and then left with Luo Zun, leaving behind a Princess Yuqing with an unhappy expression.


    "Little sister Yuqing, I really hope that you''ll be able to steal this Zhao Feng away. That would be a win for both of us," a mocking tone sounded from behind. The owner of the voice was the Eighth Prince.


    "Steal? Who said I liked him? I just¡­" Princess Yuqing''s face went red.


    "Oh? Like him? I didn''t say that." The Eighth Prince had a playful expression as he watched Zhao Feng walk away, but he wasn''t as calm as he seemed to be. In the current situation, if Zhao Feng really wanted Luo Shui''er, the Eighth Prince might not be his match.


    Is it really worth it to offend Zhao Feng for a woman? the Eighth Prince thought.


    At this moment, he no longer measured Zhao Feng by normal standards. The Eighth Prince felt that this Zhao Feng might be similar to Xin Wuheng ¨C immeasurable. After awakening the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, he had changed Duke Nanfeng''s destiny to a certain degree, which might even cause some changes to the entire lord dynasty. This youth hadn''t even entered the continent zone yet and he had already dropped a stone into the lake and created ripples.


    Elsewhere, Zhao Feng entered a relatively faraway forest within the Duke''s Palace.


    "Shui''er is waiting for you inside," Luo Zun said expressionlessly before standing guard outside. Even those from the Duke''s Palace were respectful to him since he was the number one genius of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    A charming figure with long hair came into view as Zhao Feng entered the forest. It was a girl whose hair reached her waist; she had a green dress on and seemed to be thinking. Her eyes and skin were soft like dew after the morning rain.


    "Luo Shui''er."


    Zhao Feng sighed. Almost any male that saw her would want to protect and love her. She was ranked at least in the top five beauties he had ever seen ¨C her charm wasn''t much weaker than Liu Qinxin''s.


    "Zhao Feng, do you remember? This is the place where we first met¡­." Luo Shui''er''s pair of clear eyes landed on Zhao Feng and a dreamy light appeared in them.


    "The first time?"


    The scenery of light rain falling from the sky appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    On that day, "Zhao Feng''s" face went red when he saw Luo Shui''er looks, and he could only manage a stutter. Luo Shui''er smiled and was faintly embarrassed, but at that moment in time, "Zhao Feng" was only thirteen years old, and he was rather nervous, so he didn''t realize that it was all purposely planned by Luo Shui''er.


    Luo Shui''er was talented and beautiful, and she wasn''t willing for her marriage to be decided by anyone else. She had a good impression when she saw Zhao Feng for the first time, and she agreed to the marriage.


    So that''s how it is. Zhao Feng recalled the details and understood a lot more. The original Zhao Feng was handsome, and his honesty and purity moved Luo Shui''er.


    "I never thought that you would write an Engagement Rejection Letter one day. Is this because of your dignity? Or did you crumble in front of the Eighth Prince''s power?" Luo Shui''er''s eyes went slightly red.


    Zhao Feng remained emotionless and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, as if admiring Luo Shui''er.


    "You''ve changed¡­!" Luo Shui''er cried after looking at Zhao Feng for a while. At this moment, Zhao Feng''s eyes didn''t contain any of the love from before. She was suspicious that he might not even be the same person.


    "Lady Luo, I''m very sorry, but the Zhao Feng that used to like you has already left."


    Zhao Feng said no more. He didn''t want a repeat of what happened in Flooding Lake City. After all, this was something that the original Zhao Feng had once cared about, so Zhao Feng didn''t want to meddle with it.


    The relationship between Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin was different. Thinking back to that time, although he was forced into the marriage, he ended up staying in the Flooding Lake City for half a year after being chased into a foreign land, and a knot had been tied in that half a year''s time.


    After saying that, Zhao Feng turned around and slowly walked out of the forest.


    "Zhao Feng, you need to give me a reason at least," Luo Shui''er sniffled and said.


    "Reason? You might find out very soon in the future."


    Zhao Feng walked away without even looking back once.


    Luo Shui''er seemed to see a figure with purple hair walk away.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng didn''t give a clear answer, but Zhao Feng''s identity would soon be known to the public.

 784 Competition

    Chapter 784 - Competition


    Zhao Feng and the original Zhao Feng obviously weren''t the same person, and they had completely different minds. He didn''t want to get involved in the original body''s emotions and business, no matter how beautiful Luo Shui''er was.


    Zhao Feng started to think about the previous Zhao Feng''s wishes after walking away. He had completed the wish of taking over the Yunling area and reviving the family, and he had healed Grandfather Zhao''s injuries.


    "Become the disciple of a King. Become famous in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Tianfeng Great island Zone¡­."


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face. Becoming famous was almost complete as well; it would be done with this banquet and the Divine Illusion Trials. As for becoming the disciple of a King, Zhao Feng would be able to become a King himself soon after recovering his cultivation, which exceeded the imagination of the original Zhao Feng.


    "Apart from marrying Luo Shui''er, everything''s doing better than expected."


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. It could be said that he had tried his best. After all, when he took over this body in the first place, the original Zhao Feng had already died, and he wasn''t going to have any of his wishes fulfilled at all.


    The lights of the Duke''s Palace were lit up, and music travelled across the area.


    Zhao Feng was, without a doubt, the protagonist of the banquet tonight. All the nobles around the Tianfeng Great Island Zone met this genius Beast Tamer, and there were even two Kings from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan present, who apparently had a good relationship with Duke Nanfeng.


    Zhao Feng was invited by and given presents from many people with power around the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, but luckily, Princess Yuqing helped Zhao Feng relieve the pressure.


    Duke Nanfeng''s favorite daughter was extremely close to Zhao Feng, and this scene obviously fell into the eyes of Duke Nanfeng and those from the Luo Family. It wasn''t hard to see that Princess Yuqing admired and had a good impression of Zhao Feng.


    Duke Nanfeng saw this and smiled but didn''t say anything. He wouldn''t be against it if Princess Yuqing was able to get together with Zhao Feng.


    Those from the Luo Family had worried expressions. If Zhao Feng wrote an Engagement Rejection Letter and then became the son-in-law of Duke Nanfeng, that would be a big blow to the Luo Family, but luckily for them, what they worried about didn''t happen. Zhao Feng didn''t seem to be very interested in Princess Yuqing, and he felt rather helpless as the latter took him around.


    Elsewhere in the banquet, Luo Zun and the Eighth Prince, who were usually two very outstanding youths, were standing in a corner.


    "That Zhao Feng rejected Luo Shui''er and isn''t interested in Princess Yuqing either. What is he thinking?" The Eighth Prince''s gaze landed on Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng became more and more mysterious. Even the Eighth Prince was attracted by Luo Shui''er beauty, and Princess Yuqing''s status was something countless males dreamed of. However, Zhao Feng gave both of these two goddesses up.


    It was extremely frustrating and odious comparing oneself to others. The Eighth Prince couldn''t help but ask himself, Would the noble Eighth Prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty lose to a youth from such a small family?


    The banquet ended very late. Zhao Feng thanked Duke Nanfeng and left. Duke Nanfeng didn''t make Zhao Feng stay any longer, he just gave Zhao Feng the compensation and let him leave.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng left the Duke''s Palace on the Yinming Bird. He started organizing the compensation from Duke Nanfeng on the way back.


    The Soul Dao resources that Zhao Feng needed were included in the compensation, and they were extremely valuable. Apart from that, Duke Nanfeng had also given him some Primal Crystal Stones. They weren''t normal Primal Crystal Stones ¨C they were peak-grade.


    The difference between high-grade and peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones was extremely big. One high-grade Primal Crystal Stone was worth a hundred mid-grade Primal Crystal Stones or ten thousand low-grade Primal Crystal Stones, but one peak-grade Primal Crystal Stone was worth one million high-grade Primal Crystal Stones. From this, one could see how rare peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones were.


    Back then, Zhao Feng used many peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones to pass through the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Arrays to travel from the Floating Dream Sacred Land to the Azure Flower Continent and then from the Azure Flower Continent to the Nanlin Sea. Zhao Feng had spent 95% of his wealth doing this, and he even borrowed from Emperor Zi Mu.


    After taking over this body, Zhao Feng had almost no peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones left, but now, Duke Nanfeng gave him almost a hundred peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones, which was worth almost a hundred million high-grade Primal Crystal Stones.


    Of course, in comparison to that, the favor Duke Nanfeng owed Zhao Feng might be of even higher value.


    "This amount of resources is enough for me to cultivate to the Void God Realm, but the resources I will need afterward will be much greater."


    Zhao Feng''s aim was set very high. He wasn''t re-cultivating just to become a King; he was aiming much higher and further. Therefore, he had to grasp this once-in-a-century chance to enter the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    According to what he knew, many rare and extinct resources were in the Divine Illusion Dimension. For example, the legendary God Primal Crystal Stones that were even rarer than peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones.


    God Primal Crystal Stones were unable to be artificially made in the current Fan Universe, so they usually came from ancient ruins such as the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    God Primal Crystal Stones were the core of Zone Teleportation Arrays, and they could help those at the Mystic Light Realm and even Demigods.


    For the current Zhao Feng though, peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones were already good enough.


    Zhao Feng entered seclusion once more when he returned to the clan.


    "I''ll go back to the Duke''s Palace a month later, and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly will be completely awake by then." Zhao Feng confirmed the time before he entered seclusion.


    Within the room, a layer of silver-blue metallic light glowed around Zhao Feng''s body as if he was a sculpture of silver ice.


    Weng~ Weng~


    The Water of Wind Lightning surrounded Zhao Feng''s body and refined his flesh, organs, and bones.


    Ever since the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body reached the fourth level, Zhao Feng''s physical strength had become much stronger. At this moment, he could crush normal Origin Core Realms with his physical strength alone.


    In addition, because he had trained the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, Zhao Feng could cultivate his two top skills simultaneously. In comparison to the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng''s progress on the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was even faster since he had the foundation of the Wind Lightning Inheritance from his previous life, as well as his Emperor Intent.


    In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique broke through to the fifth level.


    The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was split into twelve levels; the first three were the foundations of Wind Lightning. From the fourth level to the sixth level, the first of the five elements would be cultivated.


    Zhao Feng had chosen the Water of Wind Lightning for his first element.


    At the seventh level, Zhao Feng would continue to the second elemental Wind Lightning ¨C the Wood of Wind Lightning.


    From Water came Wood, from Wood came Fire, from Fire came Earth, from Earth came Metal, and from Metal came Water. Together, they formed a complete circuit.


    The seventh level would be the Wood of Wind Lightning, the eighth would be the Fire of Wind Lightning, the ninth would be the Earth of Wind Lightning, and the tenth would be the Metal of Wind Lightning.


    From the tenth level onward, the five elements became one.


    All of that came from the essence of the Five Elemental Ten Thousand Lightning Technique. Of course, the speed of the Wind Lightning Inheritance and the power of its Destruction would also appear.


    However, Zhao Feng could merge the Intent of Destruction and the power of God Tribulation Lightning into his Wind Lightning before completing the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    "The power of God Tribulation Lightning is the most profound. I''ll infuse that after I recover my Emperor Intent," Zhao Feng planned.


    On this day, a ripple of water and lightning appeared in the air above Zhao Feng''s courtyard, and its aura spread across dozens of miles. A black hole seemed to form in the air and suck in the nearby Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    "That brat''s trying to break through to the Origin Core Realm already¡­!" Senior Martial Brother Guang and company noticed what was happening in Zhao Feng''s courtyard, and the hearts of some Central disciples shook. How long had it been? Only half a year had passed, and Zhao Feng was trying to break through to the Origin Core Realm already? Furthermore, the aura of the whirlpool in the air was extremely strong, and it sucked in pure Yuan Qi of Lightning and Water.


    Zhao Feng trying to break through to the Origin Core Realm caught the attention of a few Kings as well, but the whirlpool disappeared after two days.


    "Did he fail?"


    "Hmph, that Zhao Feng is too cocky. He hasn''t even reached the half-step Origin Core Realm for long and yet he''s already trying to break through to the Origin Core Realm?"


    "No matter how talented and fortunate one is, if their foundation isn''t strong and solid, they won''t be able to break through."


    The nearby Central disciples all let out a breath. It would pain others if Zhao Feng could break through to the Origin Core Realm so easily.


    Right at this moment, the protective array around Zhao Feng''s courtyard faded ¨C he was coming out of seclusion.


    At this instant, many Spiritual Senses and a few Divine Senses scanned through the air.


    "Hmm?"


    "Eh¡­? What''s going on?"


    The youth that came out had a rosy face; he wasn''t pale and weak like someone that just failed to break through. Zhao Feng''s aura had risen to an entirely new level, and he radiated True Yuan.


    True Yuan! This meant that he had broken through to the Origin Core Realm, and the Divine Senses even noticed the Core Center in his body.


    "Origin Core Realm? He succeeded?"


    "How is this possible¡­!? He managed to form a Core Center in just two days?"


    The Central disciples close by were speechless, and even the Divine Senses were stunned.


    "With the help of peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones, forming a Core Center went much faster than when I formed it in my previous life." Zhao Feng smiled.


    His Intent was strong, he had peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones, and he had plenty of Water and Lightning elemental materials to help him. Therefore, he managed to successfully form a Core Center very quickly. Normally, if the whirlpool faded away so quickly, that meant that the person had failed.


    The second Zhao Feng walked out:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several Magnificent Powers gathered toward Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, are you willing to become my disciple?" A middle-aged King in snow white robes appeared in the air above Zhao Feng.


    "King Lu Yun!"


    "It''s Huang Yunhu''s Master, King Lu Yun!"


    The nearby Central disciples exclaimed.


    Zhao Feng injuring and defeating Huang Yunhu two different times had already raised King Lu Yun''s attention.


    "King Lu Yun, wait!"


    "This disciple is free to choose whoever he wishes. Don''t force him."


    Two other King Elders appeared in the air.


    "It''s King Thunder and King Liu Qiong!"


    The mouths of the nearby disciples fell open. Three Kings appeared at the same time and were all fighting for Zhao Feng to become their disciple. It seemed like Zhao Feng would become a Core disciple at the very least.


    "Master¡­!" Senior Martial Brother Guang exclaimed as he stared at King Liuqiong. Even his own master was competing to make Zhao Feng his disciple.

 785 Awakening

    Chapter 785 - Awakening


    Senior Martial Brother Guang Tian was just an in-name disciple of King Liu Qiong, and he wasn''t even a Core disciple. He couldn''t accept this; the untouchable master in his heart was fighting against two other Kings because he wanted to take Zhao Feng as a disciple.


    The news about Zhao Feng over the past few days had exceeded the limits of what Senior Martial Brother Guang could imagine. Apparently, Duke Nanfeng praised Zhao Feng and even held a banquet for him. Even the Luo Family, one of the top three families of the Great Island Zone, apologized to the Zhao Family. Even more incredibly, Zhao Feng declined the offer to become a Marquis, and on top of that, Duke Nanfeng owed Zhao Feng a favor.


    The three Void God Realm Kings were all fighting over Zhao Feng.


    What happened to Zhao Feng? Ever since he returned from the Wuyou Forest¡­ Senior Martial Brother Guang looked as if he had lost his soul, and he started feeling suspicious about what happened to Zhao Feng, but what could his speculations and suspicions do?


    Only a few of the Zhao Family''s upper echelon knew that Zhao Feng had taken over the original owner''s body, and they obviously had to preserve that secret.


    "I thank the three Elders for your appreciation¡­" Zhao Feng said as he looked up and gazed at the three beams of Magnificent Power.


    At this moment, the nearby disciples all held their breath and waited for Zhao Feng''s decision. For the Central disciples, this decision could change their fate. It was hard to imagine that Zhao Feng was still able to remain so calm.


    "¡­but I''m very sorry. I''m already the disciple of a Void God Realm Emperor."


    Zhao Feng''s words were like a bomb.


    Void God Realm Emperor. The hearts of the Central disciples and the three Void God Realm Kings shook.


    "No wonder Zhao Feng''s changed so much. It''s not something that pure fortune can explain. He became the disciple of an Emperor!"


    The gazes from the nearby disciples were filled with jealousy and envy as they looked at Zhao Feng.


    Plop!


    Senior Martial Brother Guang''s body shook, and he fell to the ground.


    Zhao Feng didn''t care about the status of a Core disciple, and he rejected the three Kings as well, and his reasoning made them all feel helpless.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan used to be a three-star force, but now it only had three Void God Realm Emperors. The number of Emperors in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone could be easily counted. The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had the most Emperors in the great island zone, but at its peak, it was even stronger than the Mystic True Sacred Clan; it used to have multiple Sacred Lords.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three Void God Realm Kings left regretfully without asking Zhao Feng about which Emperor was his master. Even the weakest Emperor wasn''t something a normal King could be compared to.


    After they left:


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao!"


    The eyes of the Central disciples all lit up as they tried to talk to Zhao Feng, but he just snickered and left on the Yinming Bird.


    The further one went down the path of cultivation, the longer it took. There was still two months left till the Divine Illusion Dimension opened, and Zhao Feng needed to prepare.


    "That brat¡­ is damn cocky," some Central disciples said unhappily.


    "Sigh, he does have the right to be cocky though."


    "If I was the disciple of an Emperor and was praised by Duke Nanfeng, wouldn''t that mean I could do as I wished in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone?"


    The disciples sighed with admiration and envy.


    Of the group, Senior Martial Brother Guang felt the worst.


    Zhao Feng definitely sensed something when I tried to deal with him¡­. Apart from anger, unwillingness, and jealousy, Senior Martial Brother Guang also felt scared of the future.


    Zhao Feng headed toward the Duke''s Palace on the Yinming Bird. He was going to the Duke''s Palace to make sure the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had awakened completely.


    The speed of the Yinming Bird was extremely fast, and its aura of Death was stronger than before. Zhao Feng had trained it, and the best way to increase its strength was to use Soul Dao resources.


    Zhao Feng received some Soul Dao resources from the Duke''s Palace, but they were only useful to those below the King level. The foundation and strength of Zhao Feng''s soul couldn''t be compared to others, so he only used a couple of the best resources and gave the rest to the Yinming Bird.


    As for how to train it specifically, he left all that to the little thieving cat.


    The Yinming Bird''s cultivation was about to enter the Great Origin Core Realm, which was enough for a steed.


    Four hours later, Zhao Feng arrived at the Duke''s Palace, and the Duke was waiting there already.


    "The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly has been waking up momentarily every couple days¡­." Duke Nanfeng started to talk about the situation of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    Zhao Feng closely inspected it, and the small jade-like silkworm was lying silently in the liquid of Life. The aura of Life radiating from it was much stronger than before, and one could detect a faint Soul undulation from it.


    "It''s about time," Zhao Feng said, then took out a dark red fruit juice prepared beforehand.


    This time, Zhao Feng had merged in even more of the Spiritual Fruit, as well as flesh and blood from the Ancient Dream Realm animals.


    Zhao Feng poured the dark red fruit juice over the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    Pa!


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly seemed to wake up as it flapped its wings and started to absorb the fruit juice.


    The Yuan Qi contained within the fruit juice was extremely compatible with the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, and the silkworm obviously become stronger after absorbing it. Of course, the resources from the Duke''s Palace also helped.


    Zhao Feng stayed behind for a day and inspected it. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was recovering in every aspect, including its soul. It started to wake up more frequently and stay awake for longer durations.


    "Congratulations, Duke. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly has passed the danger and the deep sleeping. Right now, it''s just a little weak. It will recover within a year or two," Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    Hearing that, Duke Nanfeng was overjoyed. Whether the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly survived or not could change his fate.


    "This junior still needs to go back for the Divine Illusion Trials and will be unable to stay longer."


    "Divine Illusion Trials?" Duke Nanfeng''s eyes flashed as he thought of something, and a book appeared in his hand.


    "This book contains some secret information regarding the Divine Illusion Dimension. You can go back and inspect it," Duke Nanfeng said.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng immediately gave his thanks and memorized the contents of the book.


    As an ancient and enormous lord dynasty, the Great Gan imperials knew far more about the Divine Illusion Dimension than two-star or three-star forces.


    While returning to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, Zhao Feng started to digest the information about the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "The Divine Illusion Dimension is a forgotten dimension, and the Great Gan Lord Dynasty probably hasn''t even been able to map one tenth of it."


    Zhao Feng was surprised by what he saw.


    The Divine Illusion Dimension would connect to the continent zone once every hundred years, and the forces of the continent zone would construct an array to reinforce that connection. However, as the Divine Illusion Dimension was too big, the specific area of the continent zone it connected with was different every time.


    In addition, the chance of death in the Divine Illusion Dimension was incredibly high, easily surpassing the inheritances of most clans.


    "The possibility of dying has reached 50%!?"


    Zhao Feng was shocked, but all the various forces agreed that it was best to weed out the weak and preserve the strong. Great importance was placed upon those who managed to survive.


    The book also recorded some particularly dangerous areas and various other places in the Divine Illusion Dimension, as well as some guesses and analyses about the dimension.


    When Zhao Feng got back to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, there was only three days left till the Divine Illusion Trials.


    At this moment, everyone that wanted to sign up had already done so, and the atmosphere was fiery hot. Some cultivators that had been in seclusion for a long time came out and got ready.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan only had one hundred slots to send into the Divine Illusion Dimension. Amongst them, over half would be given to the younger generation while 30-40% was left for the older generation.


    This time, the older generation had thirty-five slots.


    Anyone under the age of fifty was considered to be part of the younger generation, and anyone over fifty was part of the older generation.


    Compared to the young generation, the competition between the older generation was even fiercer.


    Those that had signed up were all at least at the peak-stage True Lord Rank, while those at the Small Origin Core Realm made up the majority.


    During these last three days, Zhao Feng didn''t enter seclusion, he just went into the Ancient Dream Realm. Now that he had reached the Origin Core Realm and his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body had broken through to the fourth level, he could walk around in the Ancient Dream Realm for a while.


    In the center of a forest in the Ancient Dream Realm, the python and bird were protecting the Spiritual Fruits on the tree. The Dark Heart Seal that Zhao Feng had used was still effective on them, so he ordered the bird to kill some animals and bring their flesh over to him, which was used to refine Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body.


    In his previous life, he realized that the child Demigod really wanted this meat, as if it helped his body and bloodline a lot.


    Over the last couple days, Zhao Feng had eaten meat from the Ancient Dream Realm or used it in conjunction with medicines. It was really effective; Zhao Feng could feel his body and bloodline become stronger.


    After his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique broke through to the fifth level, his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body had also managed to take a little step forward and reach the early stages of the fourth level.


    From the fourth level onward, each level in the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was split into different stages: beginning, early, late, and peak.


    The meat from the Ancient Dream Realm played a huge part in this advancement, and Zhao Feng was saving the Spiritual Fruits on the tree for when he became a King.


    Before the Divine Illusion Trials started, Zhao Feng soaked in the blood essence of some Ancient Dream Realm animals for two days and two nights as he ate some meat.


    Right at this instant, he suddenly felt that the bloodline that had been lurking within his new body was starting to change, and his blood seemed to burn.

 786 Divine Illusion Trials

    Chapter 786 - Divine Illusion Trials


    As Zhao Feng soaked in the medicine and essence of the Ancient Dream Realm animal flesh, he felt the burning sensation within his blood become stronger. He wasn''t a complete noob that knew nothing about bloodlines, so he obviously knew what this meant.


    "This bloodline seems to be of the Fire element¡­." Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed together because he already had an Ice and Water bloodline within his body that came from the God''s Spiritual Eye. If this awakening bloodline was a Fire bloodline, the two bloodlines would counter one another.


    As the burning sensation became stronger, a flaming red color that was slightly fainter than the color of blood flowed through his blood and gave off a transparent light.


    "Hm? The power of this bloodline isn''t weaker than a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline." Zhao Feng revealed a weird expression.


    Luckily, what Zhao Feng was worried about didn''t happen. The Ice and Water bloodline was created by the God''s Spiritual Eye and the red flaming bloodline was created by his body, and because humans were made of atoms, they were balanced. Zhao Feng circulated his Eye Intent and the flaming bloodline was easily controlled by him.


    The aura of the God''s Spiritual Eye could suppress this bloodline ¨C Zhao Feng was able to control even the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline with his powerful Intent, which was ranked 89th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    Who knows what the abilities of this bloodline are? Zhao Feng thought.


    He could control this bloodline as he pleased due to the experience of his previous life and his experience with Emperor Intent. Furthermore, the flesh from the Ancient Dream Realm allowed one''s bloodline to become purer; Zhao Feng and the child Demigod had found that out long ago.


    "I''ll ignite this bloodline the best I can first, then test it out in the Divine Illusion Trials tomorrow," Zhao Feng decided.


    Later that day, Zhao Feng ignited it. Others would usually take several years and maybe even ten years to go from the awakening stage to the ignition stage. However, this cost Zhao Feng a lot of resources.


    That night, the air above Zhao Feng''s courtyard was covered in a transparent red flame that was dozens of yards wide.


    "What aura is this!?"


    The faint bloodline aura made the nearby Central disciples'' bloodlines become uneasy. However, the aura was extremely faint, so people that were too far away couldn''t sense it, but even then, it attracted the attention of a small number of people.


    On the morning of the second day, the Central disciples got up early with expectation.


    "The Divine Illusion Trials are about to start¡­." Senior Martial Brother Guang took a deep breath and walked out of his courtyard. He instinctively glanced toward the direction of Zhao Feng''s courtyard. This one look made him pause; the air above Zhao Feng''s courtyard was covered with a fresh flaming light that seemed to interact with the sunlight like the power of an Ancient Golden Crow.


    "Could this be related to the bloodline of the Golden Crow Race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races?" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped, but then he shook his head.


    The Golden Crow Race was ranked 8th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and it was a race that was considered heaven-defying.


    There was only one Golden Crow that could be seen in the Fan Universe ¨C the Ancient Flaming Sun.


    If one flew higher than the limitless ocean, then they would be able to approach the Golden Crow that mortals called the sun. However, no one dared to get close to the Golden Crow. Even Demigods and Gods would be turned into ashes if they got too close to the Golden Crow.


    Members of this legendary race were extremely big, and this Golden Crow supplied the light to the entire Fan Universe. However, the Golden Crow was extremely far away from the continent zone, and it wasn''t much of a threat due to the limitless ocean.


    Without the limitless ocean protecting them, over 90% of the beings in the world would be turned into ashes from the light of the Golden Crow.


    There was a legend about this. In a certain era, there were ten Golden Crows. Even the powerful ancient races felt hot, and it seemed as if everything was about to be destroyed, so the other races discussed how to handle these ten Golden Crows. Unfortunately, the power of the ten Golden Crows was too great, and even the ancient gods were unable to get close to them.


    At this critical moment in time, a genius appeared from the first-ranked Ancient Race. Using a peerless divine bow that the other races created, he shot down and killed nine Golden Crows, saving the world.


    Of course, that was just a legend, but one could see how terrifying the Golden Crow Race was even if the legend was false.


    "My bloodline can absorb the power of the Golden Crow even though it''s not the bloodline of the Golden Crow. This is extremely weird," Zhao Feng murmured.


    He didn''t even dare to think about having one of the top ten bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. They were on par with the Eight Great God Eyes.


    After all, there were still a few Fire bloodlines or techniques that could absorb the light from the Golden Crow. For example, the Heaven Sun Battle Race was related to the Golden Crow Race, so it was able to absorb its power.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath as his bloodline power started to fade. After last night, his bloodline had become much stronger. He decided to go back to the Zhao Family after the Divine Illusion Trials to ask whether an ancestor of the Zhao Family had a similar bloodline.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao¡­." the sound of a sweet and kind female voice sounded from outside.


    "Senior Martial Sister Wan." Zhao Feng walked out and saw the kind Senior Martial Sister Wan.


    Zhao Feng could feel the jealous gaze of Senior Martial Brother Guang clearly.


    Over the last few months, Senior Martial Sister Wan had been cultivating very hard, and she broke through to the True Lord Rank. She didn''t want to give up on the chance to enter the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, Junior Martial Sister Wan¡­." Senior Martial Brother Guang squeezed out a smile and walked over. He had also put in some effort in order to enter the Divine Illusion Dimension. With the help of his master, he had reached the half-step Origin Core Realm. The half-step Origin Core Realm was above average amongst Central disciples, but he wasn''t confident he would be able to take a spot.


    The Central disciples split into their groups and went to participate in the Divine Illusion Trials. Having a cultivation of the Origin Core Realm, Zhao Feng was amongst the top of the Central disciples. Even some Core disciples didn''t have a cultivation of the Origin Core Realm. A normal disciple that had such a cultivation at his age would already be a disciple of a King or even an Emperor.


    At this moment, Senior Martial Brother Guang felt helpless, and he had complex emotions when facing Zhao Feng. It was as if, no matter what he did, he would be unable to stop the rise of this youth.


    The group of Central disciples were all extremely respectful toward Zhao Feng and tried to get on his good side.


    Zhao Feng''s attitude could be considered cold and even arrogant, but that didn''t stop the Central disciples from being enthusiastic.


    Senior Martial Brother Guang wanted to join in, but he felt bitter and helpless. Right now, his current problem was how to resolve the enmity between himself and Zhao Feng. If he didn''t do this, then he wouldn''t even have a place in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan later given the speed of Zhao Feng''s rise.


    In a valley of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan''s territory, all of the participating disciples gathered.


    The Divine Illusion Trials were split into two groups. One was the younger generation and the other was the older generation.


    "All of the disciples participating in the Divine Illusion Trials, enter the secret realm," a Void God Realm King spoke.


    Zhao Feng knew this King; it was Huang Yunhu''s master, King Lu Yun.


    "A trial held within a secret realm! As expected of a clan that used to be three stars," Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    In reality, the three-star Mystic True Sacred Clan that Zhao Feng used to be part of also held their trials for the Demigod Forgotten Garden in a secret realm, but by the time Zhao Feng arrived, that competition was already over, so Duanmu Qing had to give Zhao Feng a reserved spot.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan also had a few reserved spots.


    Weng~~


    A faint green whirlpool appeared in the air above the valley.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The group of disciples entered the whirlpool.


    Zhao Feng was sitting on the Yinming Bird with Senior Martial Sister Wan as they entered the whirlpool together.


    Bo~~


    As if passing through a layer of water, the group entered a dimension with extremely strong pressure.


    The secret realm was faint green and only a hundred miles wide, similar to the ancient arena of the Azure Flower Continent''s Sacred Alliance. One could tell that this secret realm was used expressly for competitions.


    There were two Void God Realm Kings as well as many judges at the peak Sovereign Lord or half-step King level.


    There was a total of eight arena stages, but only four were open. They were respectively in the four directions: north, east, south, west.


    Each participating disciple had received a token with a number on it when they registered. Zhao Feng was sent to the southern stage.


    Each stage had hundreds of Central and Outer disciples. Indeed, Outer disciples could also participate in the Divine Illusion Trials.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes scanned over the group and found some familiar faces, most of which were Central disciples. Huang Yunhu, who Zhao Feng had defeated twice, was included.


    After losing twice, Huang Yunhu focused on cultivating and finally managed to break through to the Origin Core Realm. However, just a day or two after he reached the Origin Core Realm, Zhao Feng also broke through, which was a critical blow to him.


    We''re both at the Origin Core Realm, and he can''t use his spiritual pet in the Divine Illusion Trials. Huang Yunhu''s eyes twinkled, but thinking about how Zhao Feng defeated him with a cultivation of the True Mystic Rank when he was at the half-step Origin Core Realm, Huang Yunhu had no confidence at all.


    "Liu Tianfan!"


    "Oh my god! That guy''s in the southern stage!?"


    Exclamations came from the group as all their gazes were attracted to a tall youth.


    Liu Tianfan, one of the top three Core disciples, with a cultivation of the peak Great Origin Core Realm, and the disciple of an Emperor. Zhao Feng obviously knew such a famous person.


    The majority of the top twenty Core disciples had a cultivation of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    "Liu Tianfan!" Huang Yunhu''s eyes lit up as he hurried over. Since they were both Core disciples, the relationship between him and Liu Tianfan was not bad.


    At the same moment, Zhao Feng''s eyes landed on a girl wearing a multicolored robe on the eastern stage.


    "Kong Feiling, the number one Core disciple of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. She has a cultivation of a half-step King and an Imperial Dao bloodline¡­."

 787 Physical Force

    Chapter 787 - Physical Force


    The multi-colored-clothes Kong Feiling was the center of attention for many other disciples. It wasn''t just Zhao Feng that was paying attention to her.


    Without a doubt, she was the prodigy of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Disciple of an Emperor, Imperial Dao bloodline¡­ she was even ranked on the Genius Rankings of the Great Gan Imperial Prodigies.


    In the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, the Genius Rankings contained the top five hundred strongest bloodlines and the top five hundred peerless prodigies.


    It was worth noting that both rankings continuously fluctuated. After all, this era was heading into the future, and geniuses were maturing while bloodlines were evolving.


    On the stages of the secret realm, amongst all the geniuses of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, Zhao Feng obviously gave more attention to Kong Feiling. He felt that her talent and strength were close to Nan Gongsheng''s when he was in the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    As if sensing something, the beautiful girl turned toward Zhao Feng''s direction, and an invisible mental energy covered the area around Zhao Feng. The ten geniuses around Zhao Feng all felt unable to breathe; it was as if an invisible beam had slashed across them.


    Plop!


    A True Spirit Realm Outer disciple knelt softly as he fell to the ground.


    Only Zhao Feng acted like nothing was happening, and he gave a faint smile.


    "That youth¡­" Kong Feiling was surprised. That youth still acted normally even under her half-step King Intent.


    "Senior Martial Sister Kong, that person is the famous Beast Tamer Zhao Feng. Apparently, he''s a disciple of an Emperor, and even Duke Nanfeng praised him," a nearby male in a t-shirt said with a smile.


    The momentary exchange between Zhao Feng and Kong Feiling obviously raised the attention of the other geniuses.


    "Who is he? He''s able to withstand the half-step King Intent of the Head disciple!"


    The gazes of many disciples turned toward Zhao Feng, especially the ones from the southern stage.


    "He is the Zhao Feng you were talking about?" A light flashed through Liu Tianfan''s eyes. Huang Yunhu suppressed the surprise in his heart and nodded in agreement, "It''s him."


    Huang Yunhu didn''t expect that even half-step King Intent wouldn''t be able to suppress Zhao Feng. Only seconds earlier, he was trying to get Liu Tianfan to teach Zhao Feng a lesson.


    "You don''t need to bait me. I''m slightly interested in this Zhao Feng." Liu Tianfan looked at Huang Yunhu with a deep meaning, making cold sweat appear on his back. Among the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan disciples, Liu Tianfan''s cultivation was only below Kong Feiling''s


    With Liu Tianfan''s strength, he should be able to teach Zhao Feng a lesson, Huang Yunhu thought. After all, the difference in cultivation between the two was just too big. One was at the early stages of the Origin Core Realm while the other was at the peak Great Origin Core Realm.


    According to the rules of the Divine Illusion Trials, the chance of Zhao Feng and Liu Tianfan meeting wasn''t small.


    The rules go by elimination. If one loses seven fights in a row or a total of twenty, they will be eliminated, Zhao Feng thought.


    Each stage only took the top fifty, and the four stages would then combine and determine the top sixty. Even the final stage was chosen by elimination.


    Why was it sixty and not sixty-five? Because five of the slots were predetermined.


    The fighting on the four stages started very soon.


    Plop!


    "Arghh!"


    There was a disciple instantly sent into the air as soon as the fight began. Zhao Feng looked over and couldn''t help but shake his head.


    Outer, Central, and Core disciples could all participate in the Divine Illusion Trials, and obviously, the disparity in strength between them could be rather big. If an Outer disciple met a Core disciple, they would be defeated instantly.


    The rounds continued, and it was soon Zhao Feng''s turn, but his opponent¡­ was a weak early-stage True Lord Rank Central disciple.


    "I admit defeat." The True Lord Rank Central disciple immediately gave up when he saw Zhao Feng, who was at the Origin Core Realm.


    Anyone with a cultivation of the Origin Core Realm was definitely amongst the top of the younger disciples. Instead of being injured and losing anyway, it was better to conserve one''s strength.


    Usually, when the strength between the two sides was too big, the judge would announce the result before the fight even finished.


    Zhao Feng''s first fight ended just like that.


    Liu Tianfan had the highest cultivation on the southern stage, and Huang Yunhu was also amongst the top. Any disciple that met these two immediately gave up.


    Zhao Feng was essentially a Core disciple in the eyes of others, and he was even more mysterious than normal Core disciples.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng went up for his second match. His opponent was at the peak True Lord Rank, but he gave up as well.


    "Boring." Zhao Feng shook his head, and the little thieving cat on his shoulder also seemed to be bored.


    It wasn''t that the competition wasn''t exciting; there were cases of the underdog winning. However, Zhao Feng had reached the Origin Core Realm, and he stood at the top of the younger disciples. It was a lot different from when he was at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering, where Zhao Feng''s cultivation was below average. At the beginning of that, his total strength was only slightly above the median.


    All battles of the five Overwhelming Prodigies during the early part of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering was the same as what Zhao Feng was experiencing now. They were either defeated instantly, or they surrendered as soon as they got up on stage. That was boring as well.


    However, the Divine Illusion Trials lasted for a long time; it would take at least twenty days. The Divine Illusion Trials were different from the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. The Sacred True Dragon Gathering only needed to rank the top ten while the Divine Illusion Trials would take the top fifty from four different stages, then the top sixty from that group.


    For the third match, Zhao Feng''s opponent was a cold half-step Origin Core Realm youth ¨C an elite among Central disciples.


    This Zhao Feng has only just reached the Origin Core Realm. If I draw with him or perform well, maybe I will be able to attract the attention of some Kings. The cold youth decided. Although the chance of winning wasn''t big, he still wanted to give it a shot.


    On the stage, the faceoff between Zhao Feng and the cold youth caught some attention, including Huang Yunhu, Liu Tianfan, and Kong Feiling.


    However, the battle ended much faster than anyone expected.


    Whoosh!


    A ripple of Wind Lightning appeared as the cold youth''s attack missed.


    "Not good!" He felt a gust of wind from behind.


    Bam!


    The cold youth was sent flying by one punch. He managed to circulate his half-step True Yuan and form a defensive barrier, but it crumpled like paper from the simple punch.


    Hua!


    Discussion started to break out.


    "What speed!"


    Most spectators only saw a flash, then the cold youth fell.


    The weaker ones only noticed Zhao Feng''s speed, but the stronger geniuses had solemn expressions as well as disbelief.


    "Zhao Feng didn''t seem to use any True Yuan in that punch¡­." Huang Yunhu''s mouth dropped wide open. He was paying 120% attention to Zhao Feng''s fight. After all, he had lost twice to Zhao Feng before.


    "Correct." Liu Tianfan next to him was certain.


    Zhao Feng used overwhelming speed and threw a simple punch. The punch didn''t contain any True Yuan and yet it easily smashed through the defensive barrier of a half-step Origin Core Realm.


    Zhao Feng''s name became even more famous, causing everyone to be wary of him.


    After the third round, as long as Zhao Feng''s opponents was below the Origin Core Realm, they admitted defeat, giving Zhao Feng a run of eight straight wins.


    Zhao Feng met Huang Yunhu in the ninth battle.


    Is this it? Huang Yunhu took a deep breath and became serious. The two defeats to Zhao Feng made even King Lu Yun feel like he had lost face.


    At this moment, King Lu Yun was also paying attention.


    "Start!" The judge waved his hand.


    Weng~


    Huang Yunhu circulated his True Yuan, and a thick layer of armor appeared around his skin. Using the help of an Earth-grade Earth-elemental armor, he was able to activate his defense quickly.


    "Huang Yunhu''s tactic isn''t bad. Zhao Feng''s advantage is speed, so as long as he defends properly, he can find a chance to counterattack," Liu Tianfan praised.


    Bam!


    With a flash, Zhao Feng''s fist landed on Huang Yunhu''s Earth-grade armor and caused an explosion.


    "How is this possible¡­!?" Huang Yunhu was forced to retreat, and he almost spat out blood.


    A layer of blue-silver metallic lines appeared when Zhao Feng thrust his fist out. A dominating physical force passed through the Earth-grade armor and entered Huang Yunhu''s body and organs.


    Chaos broke out below the stage. In just one punch, Huang Yunhu felt as if he had been sent flying.


    Peng!


    Before Huang Yunhu managed to gain a stable footing, Zhao Feng unleashed several more punches.


    Anyone that comes close to my Earth-grade armor will have to bear gravity ten times as strong as usual, but that brat isn''t affected¡­. Huang Yunhu was stunned as he got pushed back.


    Wah!


    After several more punches, Huang Yunhu spat out a mouthful of blood as a crack appeared on his armor.


    "Zhao Feng wins!" the judge immediately announced as he saw the situation. It was also because of King Lu Yun.


    Their power isn''t on the same level. Zhao Feng is able to suppress Yunhu with his profound body-strengthening force alone¡­. King Lu Yun sighed. He saw the part where Huang Yunhu tried to counterattack and kick Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng''s body wasn''t injured, and he didn''t even move.


    That meant that Zhao Feng''s speed, strength, and defense were all at a peak. King Lu Yun even realized that Zhao Feng was acting very casual, as if he still wasn''t using his full power.


    "This Zhao Feng is very strong." Liu Tianfan''s face was solemn, but strong battle-intent appeared in his eyes.


    After the fight, only Zhao Feng, Liu Tianfan, and a small number of people were able to keep their victory streaks.


    Some people had even been eliminated already. To be eliminated, one needed to lose seven fights in a row or twenty in total.


    The disciples on the southern stage were awaiting the fight between Liu Tianfan and Zhao Feng. As more disciples were eliminated, the chance of those two meeting became higher.


    Finally, Zhao Feng met Liu Tianfan on the thirtieth fight.


    Everyone within the secret realm, including the two Kings, watched with interest.


    Liu Tianfan has reached the peak Great Origin Core Realm, and I can''t use my Intent or my eye-bloodline¡­. Zhao Feng felt troubled for the first time.

 788 Mutated Imperial Dao Bloodline

    Chapter 788 - Mutated Imperial Dao Bloodline


    Without using some secret techniques, the chance of Zhao Feng winning against the peak Great Origin Core Realm Liu Tianfan was very low.


    The difference between the early-stage Small Origin Core Realm and the peak Great origin Core Realm was huge. There was a total of six small stages between them. Under normal situations, it would already be a miracle if Zhao Feng wasn''t defeated immediately.


    "Zhao Feng, I''m not underestimating you, but you will not be able to win." Liu Tianfan''s eyes glinted with battle-intent; he was completely confident in himself, but he wouldn''t underestimate his opponent either.


    "Start!" The judge waved his hand.


    Shua!


    As soon as the judge spoke, Zhao Feng turned into an arc of lightning.


    "What speed!" the spectators exclaimed.


    The speed that Zhao Feng was currently displaying was even faster than when he fought Huang Yunhu. Just as King Lu Yun thought, Zhao Feng was holding back during that fight.


    "Open!" Liu Tianfan stood motionless and punched to the side without even looking.


    Bam!


    The punch brought a flaming purple light that instantly covered the stage. The nearby disciples all felt unable to breathe.


    Boom!


    A silver-blue figure covered in Water of Wind Lightning was smashed by Liu Tianfan''s fist, and a terrifying shockwave swept across the stage. Liu Tianfan didn''t move while Zhao Feng was pushed back by two hundred yards and was still flying backward.


    "Defeated in one move?"


    The experts in the secret realm all glanced toward the southern stage.


    Just as Zhao Feng was about to fly out of bounds, a pair of dream-like Wings of Wind and Lightning formed behind Zhao Feng''s back.


    Hu~~


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning quickly fluttered, and Zhao Feng moved forward.


    That brat wasn''t even injured by that blow just now¡­. Liu Tianfan''s expression changed slightly.


    If Zhao Feng only cultivated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, he would have been severely injured by a blow from a peak Great Origin Core Realm. However, he also cultivated the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, which gave him monstrous physical strength, battle-power, and defense. His Water bloodline and his Water of Wind Lightning could quickly heal his injuries as well.


    "Body of Sacred Lightning!" Zhao Feng roared as a metallic silver-blue light started to glow around him.


    In an instant, he became bigger, and he radiated a physical force that seemed to actually materialize. One could faintly see a half-transparent glow of silver-blue lightning in the air.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng charged down from the sky with destructive power.


    "What a powerful body!" Liu Tianfan felt his body become heavy and his blood become pressured. He had to use his True Yuan to protect his organs.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng''s physical force contained a sensation of lightning. Not only did Liu Tianfan feel a huge pressure, his body even became slightly numb.


    "Who is Zhao Feng''s master? Which Emperor has such a profound body-strengthening technique¡­?" The two Void God Realm Kings were stunned. Even the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was unable to find such a body-strengthening technique.


    Ha!


    Zhao Feng seemed to have the body of a demonic beast, and he charged down with a roar as a Wind Lightning dragon wrapped around his arm.


    Bam~~~~


    The dark blue Wind Lightning dragon clashed with Liu Tianfan. Because he came down from the sky with the Wings of Wind and Lightning propelling him, the power reached a limit.


    "Extreme Purple!"


    Dominating beams of purple shot out in every direction amidst the storm of wind and lightning.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Hundreds and thousands of purple beams shot out at every angle. At this moment, the stage was covered in countless beams of purple. The two figures clashed heavily amidst the purple light and Wind Lightning storm.


    In the first clash, Zhao Feng managed to push Liu Tianfan a step back due to his initial charge, but in the second clash, the power of Extreme Purple forced Zhao Feng back dozens of yards.


    "Ice Imperial Spear!"


    A layer of ice-blue liquid covered Zhao Feng''s body and formed a suit of icy armor. This icy armor continuously rippled as it shifted around his body.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    The purple beams, which were able to severely injure Small Origin Core Realms, turned into smoke when they hit Zhao Feng''s body. With the help of the Ice-Water bloodline and the Water of Wind Lightning, the armor formed by the Ice Imperial Spear could not only defend, it could also use the power of lightning to attack. Adding on the defense of the Sacred Lightning Body, Liu Tianfan''s wide-area offense was unable to threaten Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    The pair of wings behind Zhao Feng fluttered as he quickly flew into the sky and dove back down again, putting on a good show. The disciples sighed as they watched, and even the judge overseeing the southern stage was dazed, requiring the main judge to personally oversee it.


    "It''s hard to imagine that Zhao Feng has the ability to control the match. He''s putting the advantage in location to its best," King Lu Yun sighed.


    "Unfortunately, due to the large difference in cultivation, Zhao Feng won''t be able to gain any advantage in a head-on clash," the other King sighed. It was already a miracle that Zhao Feng could reach this step.


    Liu Tianfan had a solemn expression, and he was extremely frustrated. He was pretty fast in his own right, and with his advantage in cultivation, he wasn''t any slower than Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng''s techniques and agility were too profound. He even seemed to understand the laws of Space, and he used the power of his Sacred Body with every charge. If he was fighting in the air as well, Liu Tianfan wouldn''t even be able to touch Zhao Feng; instead, he would reveal some flaws for Zhao Feng to attack.


    Looks like it''ll be very hard to defeat Liu Tianfan without using my Eye Intent or my eye-bloodline.


    Zhao Feng had to use a lot of True Yuan to fly through the air. If the fight dragged on, he would definitely lose. The Ice-Water bloodline power was being used up the quickest due to the armor and the healing.


    Right at this moment, the other bloodline started to burn.


    Let''s try it.


    Zhao Feng''s ice armor merged back into his body.


    Hu~~~


    A red flame started to spread across Zhao Feng''s body as if he was undergoing rebirth through flames. Adding on the glow from his Sacred Lightning Body, he looked like a flaming demonic sovereign.


    Pa!


    Zhao Feng''s wings flapped as he charged down and punched out. Zhao Feng felt extremely satisfied with this punch, and a flame erupted before his attack even arrived.


    "What kind of bloodline is this?" Liu Tianfan''s body felt hot. The bloodline was extremely dominating, and it even eroded his blood and flesh. Zhao Feng''s Sacred Body was even able to direct this bloodline power straight into the target''s body.


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning pushed the speed of this attack to a maximum. Zhao Feng''s body was surrounded by a layer of Wind Lightning that could attack and defend at the same time.


    Boom!


    The clash this time was different from before. The one that was forced to retreat was Liu Tianfan.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng was like a flaming demonic sovereign, and his power reached a terrifying stage. His every attack would burn and erode the opponent.


    "Purple Flames Protection!" Liu Tianfan was starting to go all out now, and a dark purple flaming armor covered his body, dramatically increasing his offense and defense as he clashed with Zhao Feng.


    All of the spectators held their breath.


    "What is that red bloodline of Zhao Feng''s? It''s so strong!"


    Everyone was surprised. Zhao Feng''s bloodline was much stronger than Liu Tianfan''s; it was like an emperor that ruled over everything.


    "It''s similar to the Blood Demon Sun bloodline, ranked 81st among the Imperial Dao bloodlines, but it seems more unique; it contains the aura of a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline."


    "Could the Blood Demon Sun bloodline have mutated or evolved in Zhao Feng''s body?"


    King Lu Yun discussed with the other King.


    "Imperial Dao bloodline" referred to the top five hundred bloodlines across the continent zone and areas nearby. These bloodlines were different from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    "Imperial Dao bloodline!" Kong Feiling over on the eastern stage felt her bloodline tremble slightly, and she finally understood why she sensed Zhao Feng earlier. She felt that the aura from Zhao Feng''s Imperial Dao bloodline was purer and stronger than hers.


    As the fight continued, Liu Tianfan''s lifeforce was starting to become burned and eroded. Each and every one of Zhao Feng''s attacks could damage part of Liu Tianfan''s essence. Although Zhao Feng''s True Yuan was being used up very quickly, Liu Tianfan''s injuries were several times worse than his.


    "Stop!" King Lu Yun roared as a Magnificent Power descended and stopped the fight.


    The fight ended as a draw.


    Zhao Feng has a mutated Imperial Dao bloodline. If he had a cultivation of the Great Origin Core Realm or even just the peak-stage Small Origin Core Realm, I would''ve lost. Liu Tianfan let out a breath.


    If Zhao Feng only had the Imperial Dao bloodline, it wouldn''t be much. The issue was that he also had two other techniques ¨C the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique ¨C which were both monstrous.


    After taking over a new body, Zhao Feng trained in the most profound techniques, and he would be able to go much further than before.


    "I need to ask about this Imperial Dao bloodline after returning to the Zhao Family later," Zhao Feng murmured.


    The original Zhao Feng was an orphan that was raised by his grandfather.


    Several days later, the first part of the Divine Illusion Trials came to an end.


    The four arenas each proceeded until there was only fifty people left. The arenas then combined, and those top two hundred fought until sixty remained.


    Zhao Feng was unmatched in the final fights. The battle-power he displayed was comparable to the top three Core disciples, and anyone that met him admitted defeat right away.


    As long as he didn''t meet Kong Feiling, Zhao Feng wasn''t worried.


    After the next portion started, Liu Tianfan met the first-ranked Kong Feiling after dozens of continuous victories.

 789 Admitting Defeat Right Away

    Chapter 789 - Admitting Defeat Right Away


    Liu Tianfan was extremely cautious as he faced Kong Feiling.


    As soon as the fight started:


    "Purple Flame Protection!"


    A dark purple flaming armor covered Liu Tianfan''s body and radiated a fierce light. Maybe it was because the opponent was so strong, but the battle-power that Liu Tianfan displayed right at the beginning surpassed what he had when he fought Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash of multi-colored light, Kong Feiling took an elegant step forward and closed in on Liu Tianfan. Although it seemed slow, it was actually even faster than Zhao Feng''s Wings of Wind and Lightning.


    Weng~~


    A multi-colored light shot out from Kong Feiling''s fingertips and blossomed like a flower as it landed on Liu Tianfan.


    Hu~


    After using the Purple Flame Protection, Liu Tianfan thrust out both his fists and launched two intertwined purple dragons made of fire. The temperature was enough to turn a normal Small Origin Core Realm into ashes.


    "Looks like Liu Tianfan didn''t use his full strength when he fought me," Zhao Feng murmured. At the end of the day, Liu Tianfan''s cultivation surpassed his by too much. Zhao Feng only did as well as he did because his agility and various secret techniques had limited Liu Tianfan''s abilities.


    Crack!


    The sound of the stage cracking could be heard, and Liu Tianfan roared as he retreated. The purple flaming armor on his body was shattered by a casual blow from Kong Feiling.


    Kong Feiling was extremely elegant and patient. She waved her jade hands, and brilliant images shot out. These images released mysterious and noble flames that showed signs of materializing.


    Wah!


    Within three moves, Liu Tianfan spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan''s number one Core disciple lives up to her title."


    "Kong Feiling hasn''t even used her Imperial Dao bloodline and yet she''s still able to crush Liu Tianfan."


    Chaos broke out amongst the spectators, and most of the disciples were stunned by Kong Feiling''s strength.


    "Apart from not using her Imperial Dao bloodline, Kong Feiling hasn''t even used her full strength." Zhao Feng saw more than just the surface, just like when he fought with Huang Yunhu.


    "It''s over Liu Tianfan. You haven''t improved much." Kong Feiling laughed lightly. As soon as she finished speaking, a half-step King Intent engulfed the area.


    Boom!


    Kong Feiling''s body was covered by a seven-colored light that was dozens of yards wide.


    "That''s Kong Feiling''s Imperial Dao bloodline?" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Peng!


    Liu Tianfan''s body was sent flying off the stage like a crumpled ball of paper, and he spat out mouthfuls of blood.


    "Kong Feiling wins!" the judge announced. There was no doubt about who the victor would be from the start. If Kong Feiling had gone all out right away, Liu Tianfan wouldn''t have even lasted one move.


    Kong Feiling is ranked 298th on the Imperial Genius rankings. Zhao Feng''s memories contained this information.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had the foundation of a three-star sect, so the Head disciple wasn''t weaker than some three-star forces.


    Of the people on the Imperial Genius rankings, the weakest were Great Origin Core Realms. From this, one could see how strong Luo Zun was for him to be ranked in the top one hundred.


    As time passed, more and more disciples were eliminated. From two hundred to one hundred and fifty, from one hundred and fifty to one hundred. There were fewer and fewer people participating, which meant that the possibility of Zhao Feng and Kong Feiling meeting was increasing.


    According to the rules, those that hadn''t fought with each other before were more likely to be paired up.


    Two days before the Divine Illusion Trials ended, Zhao Feng matched with Kong Feiling.


    "I''m very interested in your strength." Kong Feiling smiled.


    Before the trials started, she tried to probe Zhao Feng with her half-step King Intent, but it was like a stone being dropped into the ocean. She felt that Zhao Feng hadn''t used his true strength when fighting Liu Tianfan.


    "I admit defeat," Zhao Feng said and jumped off the stage.


    This made Kong Feiling feel like she had been choked, and she stomped her foot on the ground.


    The spectators were all surprised as well. According to the norm, since Zhao Feng had the strength to become one of the top three Core disciples, he should exchange a few moves with Kong Feiling regardless of whether he could win or not. However, Zhao Feng admitted defeat directly?


    The two Kings also let out regretful expressions. They could tell that Zhao Feng had some sort of secret and probably couldn''t reveal it.


    The more it was as such, the more curious others would be.


    "Hmph, I''ll wait till the Divine Illusion Dimension then. Let''s see your secrets there." Kong Feiling harrumphed coldly and walked off the stage with disappointment.


    She was unrivalled among the disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. The only one she couldn''t see through was Zhao Feng, but he didn''t want to fight with her. This made her angry and helpless.


    The Divine Illusion Trials ended two days later. After twenty or so days of elimination, the sixty spots were finally decided.


    Zhao Feng didn''t see Senior Martial Sister Wan amongst them. However, with her early-stage True Lord Rank cultivation, it wasn''t a surprise that she didn''t make it through.


    His gaze scanned over the other fifty-nine disciples. They were all at least at the half-step Origin Core Realm. Huang Yunhu and Senior Martial Brother Guang were amongst them.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The disciples that had passed the trials all left the secret realm. As for the ones that had been eliminated earlier, they already left long ago.


    A total of sixty elite disciples appeared in the valley.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, congratulations on passing the Divine Illusion Trials. You need to grasp this chance well." Senior Martial Sister Wan was waiting in the valley. Although she was disappointed about her loss, she was happy for Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. In order to hide some of his secrets, he had used the heart controlling technique to make Senior Martial Sister Wan think highly of him, but now she was liking him more by the day. After all, she was witnessing the rise of this handsome youth, who had now become a bright star. However, she knew the difference between herself and Zhao Feng would only become bigger.


    "There''s still one month till the Divine Illusion Dimension opens. Go back and prepare. Read about the Divine Illusion Dimension as well," the two Kings said before leaving.


    Every disciple that had passed the Divine Illusion Trials received information regarding the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Zhao Feng also got received it, but he shook his head in disappointment when he read it. It was obvious that Duke Nanfeng''s information was far better.


    Zhao Feng could imagine the disciples of Kings and Emperors getting more information, but he had already learned everything he could from the Duke''s information. As Duke Nanfeng had said, they probably hadn''t even mapped one tenth of the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "There''s still a month left. I can use this time to raise my cultivation," Zhao Feng murmured, then entered seclusion when he got back.


    For the next month, Zhao Feng cultivated with the help of sufficient resources.


    A month later, his cultivation had broken through to the middle stages of the Small Origin Core Realm.


    Zhao Feng''s mastery of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique became better as well, but he was now stuck at the peak fifth level, unable to enter the sixth.


    "My cultivation is restricting my progress in the Wind Lightning Technique," Zhao Feng murmured.


    If his cultivation was at the Great Origin Core Realm or even just the peak stage of the Small Origin Core Realm, he might''ve reached the sixth level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    During this one month, he didn''t stop cultivating his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, and he started to taste the benefits of a powerful body. A powerful body meant that he could ignore the opponent''s Intents, bloodline, and cultivation.


    The child Demigod was the same way back then. When the child Demigod was a King, his physical force was able to suppress the Emperor of Death''s body, and Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was even stronger than the Golden Kun Sacred Body.


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body contained the element of Lightning, and when it reached a certain level, anything that his body passed would be destroyed by lightning. Zhao Feng wouldn''t even need to do anything; anyone that attacked him would turn to dust.


    When the five elements of Wind Lightning were cultivated, the Sacred Lightning Body would be extremely resilient against any elemental attack as well. However, since Zhao Feng had only cultivated the Water of Wind Lightning at the moment, he was only somewhat resilient against ice and water.


    As a Sacred Lightning Body, it was also extremely resilient against lightning, and it could even absorb lightning. Back then, Lei Zhen from the Ten Thousand Thunder Sect was able to absorb Zhao Feng''s lightning attacks.


    "Once the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body is trained to a high level, my chance of passing the God Tribulation will increase dramatically." Zhao Feng was full of confidence and expectation for the future.


    Time passed by quickly, and the day of the Divine Illusion Dimension''s opening was approaching.


    Zhao Feng stopped cultivating during the last few days and entered the Ancient Dream Realm to absorb more of its aura. The purity of his bloodline slowly increased.


    The night before the Divine Illusion Dimension opened, a hundred elite disciples were waiting quietly on a pitch-black stage in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "The Divine Illusion Dimension is connecting with the borders of the continent zone."


    "The time of connection might be a bit early or late."


    The elites discussed, and Zhao Feng saw that there were thirty-five elder experts amongst the one hundred. The weird thing was that there was even a Void God Realm King who was fifty or sixty years old.


    Zhao Feng guessed that the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had some method to send in a Void God Realm King, but they would need to pay a price.


    "Some forces, including the imperials, should have successfully connected to it already. As we are near the ocean, we are one day slower."


    Several figures covered in magnificent light discussed.

 790 The World

    Chapter 790 - The World


    In a palace in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty:


    Weng~~


    A shining white pathway suddenly appeared on top of a large circle, and it seemed to exist between reality and nothingness.


    "The Divine Illusion Dimension has been successfully connected," a powerful voice resounded across Heaven and Earth, shaking the hearts of dozens of Kings and several Emperors.


    "Number one, Xuanyuan Wen."


    A handsome youth who looked slightly shy appeared in front of the shining white pathway. However, the several hundred disciples and elites of the Sky Suspension Palace didn''t dare to underestimate him, and their eyes were full of respect.


    Xuanyuan Wen and two disciples behind him, a male and female, were Void God Realm Kings.


    "Martial brothers and sisters, I''ll be going fist." Xuanyuan Wen was extremely polite and bowed to everyone.


    "Master, I won''t disappoint you." Finally, he glanced at a skinny, wrinkled elder in the sky ¨C he was a Demigod. The aura of the elder was extremely mundane, as if he was just a mortal.


    Boom!


    Cracks instantly started to appear on the pathway when Xuanyuan Wen stepped into it.


    "Well, Xuanyuan Wen isn''t a normal King. He''s probably exceeded the limit of the pathway."


    "Any other three-star force wouldn''t dare to do this."


    The nearby Kings and Emperors discussed. Under normal situations, someone with the same strength as Xuanyuan Wen would be ripped into pieces if they forcefully entered the pathway.


    Right at this critical moment:


    Weng~~~~


    A weird piece of jade on Xuanyuan Wen''s body released a brilliant glow of white light that dissolved the ripping force of space.


    "Ancient God piece!"


    Exclamations sounded.


    As a forgotten dimension of Gods, only the power of Gods could resist the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Shua!


    Using the help of the Ancient God weapon piece, Xuanyuan Wen disappeared into the portal.


    "The only weakness of this method is that the person will be transported to a random spot, not with any of his allies," a Void God Realm Emperor murmured.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The male and female Void God Realm Kings behind Xuanyuan Wen used their own methods and entered the Divine Illusion Dimension as well.


    Elsewhere in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, in the Duanmu Family, a green pathway could be seen in the air above a lake.


    "Yufei, are you ready? The danger and fortune contained within the Divine Illusion Dimension is much more plentiful than the Demigod Forgotten Garden," Duanmu Qing smiled and said.


    Below the pathway were the elites of the family, and the leader of the group was a young girl who looked like a goddess. Her skin was snow-white like a perfect work of art.


    "I''m ready," Zhao Yufei smiled, and her beauty made everyone sigh.


    She slowly walked toward the green pathway, and it didn''t shake or tremble at all.


    "Incredible, she can enter the pathway so easily even with a cultivation of the Void God Realm."


    "This girl indeed has the bloodline of the Spiritual Race. The Duanmu Family will revive¡­!"


    The seniors of the Duanmu Family were excited. With the Duanmu Family''s strength, they could only send in one King at most, but Zhao Yufei was able to save them one slot.


    "The Spiritual Race has a very close affinity with Heaven and Earth. Yufei will be able to become an Emperor soon."


    Duanmu Qing sent Zhao Yufei away with hope in his eyes.


    In the Cang Ocean, in the True Martial Sacred Land, above the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak, nearly three hundred elites of the True Mystic Sacred Clan and the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan gathered here.


    "The time of connection here is a couple days later than the continent zone. We still have a few days till it connects."


    "With the combined strength of the three-star sects, we can only manage to send two Kings in¡­ Nan Gongsheng and Meng Xi."


    The upper echelons of the two clans discussed.


    The fact that the Divine Illusion Dimension was able to connect to so many places showed how big it was. Putting aside the continent zone, even the nearby ocean forces were able to enter as long as they were strong enough.


    However, since the Cang Ocean was so far away, only the three-star forces had the ability to do so, even though some two-star forces on the continent zone could connect to it.


    This meant that everyone that entered the Divine Illusion Dimension was an elite of the continent zone or a nearby area.


    There was almost no inheritance or secret realm on the same scale as the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    On a pitch-black stage of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, the disciples and older elites were all waiting.


    "Maybe some of the forces on the continent zone have already connected, but we still need to wait a bit," Liu Tianfan smiled and said as he stood next to Zhao Feng.


    The two had fought to a "draw" in the Divine Illusion Trials. Liu Tianfan didn''t become angry or embarrassed; instead, he tried to befriend Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng liked how Liu Tianfan was not arrogant or impatient, and he understood some things about the lord dynasty from him.


    "The Great Gan Lord Dynasty, the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty, and nearby areas ¨C including the four-star forces ¨C will all send their elites into the Divine Illusion Dimension." Liu Tianfan sighed.


    The weakest forces connecting to the dimension were two-star sects. Amongst all the superpowers, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was extremely small in comparison, and Zhao Feng realized just how big the Divine Illusion Dimension was. In comparison, the inheritances and secret realms he had entered before were nothing.


    A King started to tell them what to watch out for before entering.


    First were the dangerous aspects:


    "¡­apart from that, don''t easily offend three-star forces or anyone stronger, such as the imperials, the Eight Big Families, or the four-star superpowers," the King warned.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan wasn''t a three-star power anymore. The strength of disciples from three-star and four-star powers wasn''t something a two-star force could be compared to. Even if they had the same cultivation, the difference in strength amongst geniuses was big.


    Taking a step back, even if they somehow managed to kill an imperial or an important elite disciple of a four-star power, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan would be destroyed.


    "Of course, there aren''t many three-star or four-star forces. Most of those you will meet will come from two-star forces¡­."


    The King paused.


    Three-star forces were rare even in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. As for four-star forces, the possibility of meeting them was extremely low.


    Around a day later, a weird spatial disturbance appeared above the pitch-black stage. If it weren''t for the fact that Zhao Feng''s senses were so strong, he might not have sensed it.


    "We can connect now."


    The hearts of the Void God Realm Kings shook and a faint golden pathway seemed to connect to the other side.


    "Yun Hao, are you ready?"


    Several Void God Realm Kings and one Emperor looked at the leading person.


    Yun Hao was an elite older disciple.


    The Divine Illusion Trials were split into two parts ¨C the older and younger generation. This Yun Hao was around fifty or sixty, but he had a cultivation of the Void God Realm. It was obvious that he was talented, and the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was focusing on him.


    "Senior Yun Hao, please look after us."


    Some younger disciples were extremely respectful toward Yun Hao.


    Kong Feiling and Yun Hao were the two elite geniuses of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Kong Feiling, who had an Imperial Dao bloodline, wasn''t much weaker than a Void God Realm King.


    The first to enter was Yun Hao. At this moment, some King Elders of the clan were watching with nervous expressions.


    Hu~~


    Yun Hao took a deep breath and took a step into the golden pathway.


    Crack!


    The faint golden pathway instantly started to become unstable the moment he stepped in.


    "Stabilize the array!"


    A Void God Realm Emperor and eight Kings combined forces and stabilized the pathway a little bit.


    Cold sweat appeared on Yun Hao''s forehead as he increased his speed through the golden pathway. As he was about to reach the end of the faint golden pathway, the expressions of the Emperor and eight Kings went white. It seemed as if they had used up a lot of energy.


    Right when everyone thought Yun Hao was about to succeed:


    "Arghh!"


    Yun Hao suddenly screamed as he was cut into countless pieces by a spatial crack. The spatial crack looked like a spider web, and it released a forbidden aura.


    Sii!


    Everyone from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, both elders and youngsters, were stunned and took in cold breaths.


    The stage was dead-silent for a long time.


    "Failed¡­ Yun Hao was too unlucky."


    "In the end, Ten Thousand Sacred Clan isn''t a three-star force anymore."


    Regretful sighs sounded.


    The higher one''s cultivation, the smaller the chance of success. The only exceptions were if a clan was extremely strong or had geniuses with special bloodlines like the Spiritual Race or Nan Gongsheng''s Spatial Spirit Body.


    A long time later, the array on the black stage activated once more and continued to send people through.


    The second person to go through was Kong Feiling. Kong Feiling was at the half-step King level, and she managed to disappear at the end of the pathway.


    "Luckily, Kong Feiling is fine."


    The experts of the clan all let out a long breath. Without a doubt, Kong Feiling ¨C who had an Imperial Dao bloodline ¨C had more potential.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Disciples one after another disappeared into the pathway and no repeat of Yun Hao happened.


    At a certain point, it was Zhao Feng''s turn.


    The strength of my soul is not normal¡­. Zhao Feng was slightly worried. With his middle-stage Small Origin Core Realm cultivation, there should be nothing to worry about, but the pathway was also related to soul-strength.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng concealed his power the best he could and carefully stepped onto the pathway. However, when he reached the halfway point, Zhao Feng felt the pathway tremble slightly, and his heart rose to his throat.

 791 Entering the Divine Illusion Dimension

    Chapter 791 - Entering the Divine Illusion Dimension


    When one reached the Void God Realm, their souls would evolve to contain immense power.


    The spatial pathway could only withstand a certain amount of strength, physical or soul-based. When either exceeded the limit, the pathway would be unable to withstand it.


    My soul has the same strength as normal Void God Realm Kings, and it might even be slightly stronger.


    Zhao Feng could feel the pathway slightly trembling, and it was even stronger than when Kong Feiling walked through it. It had almost reached the same level as when Yun Hao was ripped apart by the spatial cracks. Would he be a repeat of Yun Hao?


    Zhao Feng''s heart tightened, and he even got ready for his God''s Eye to leave his body. No matter what, preserving his life came first, but luckily, the shaking sensation only came close to that level without ever reaching it.


    The pathway was more inclined toward physical power, and Void God Realm Kings had formed a True Yuan Dimension, which contained incredible physical power. Zhao Feng''s True Yuan cultivation was only at the middle stages of the Small Origin Core Realm, and for once, he felt glad that his cultivation wasn''t high.


    In fact, the elites of some forces would purposely not break through to the Void God Realm in order to enter the Divine Illusion Dimension, then break through when they entered it. This would reduce the risk to the minimum.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng felt his body and soul become heavy when he appeared. An ancient pressure filled the air; it was an aura that had experienced the vicissitudes of the Ancient Era and the Immemorial Era.


    Zhao Feng felt as if he had entered the Ancient Dream Realm. The pressure in this place surpassed the Demigod Forgotten Garden.


    It was dark, but it didn''t affect their vision; limitless golden mud and dust filled their eyes.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Disciples and elites of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan appeared around Zhao Feng, and a total of ninety-nine people appeared.


    "Everyone, gather over here." Kong Feiling started to gather the members with the help of some older elites.


    Under normal situations, people that entered through the same pathway would appear around the same area. For example, those from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan would appear around the same exact spot, and the other forces of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone would be relatively close to each other. However, including the Duke''s Palace, there were only a couple forces in the area that were able to connect to the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "Old Fei, where are we within the Divine Illusion Dimension?" Kong Feiling asked.


    As of right now, her strength was amongst the top of everyone present, but she wasn''t as experienced as the older elites.


    Old Fei was the most experienced; he had entered the Divine Illusion Dimension before. Although he didn''t receive much, he had successfully survived both times and gathered a lot of experience.


    "I can''t confirm our position right now. The Divine Illusion Dimension is too big. It''s possible that we have entered an unknown area."


    Old Fei''s face was full of wrinkles. His cultivation had reached the half-step King level, and he could easily defeat others of the same rank.


    The group from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan then started to scout around. All types of senses were restricted in the Divine Illusion Dimension due to the pressure, and anyone below the Void God Realm was unable to fly. Even half-step Kings were only able to leap into the air momentarily. Therefore, it was extremely hard to scout the area, and no one could see the end.


    In just a short while, some disciples that went scouting started to fight with unknown animals.


    Ceng! Ceng! Ceng!


    The elites of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan went to help after hearing this news, and Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye looked into the distance.


    Several large rats with sharp teeth and red eyes were fighting with the disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. The bodies of these sharp-toothed rats were extremely tough, and the attacks of normal True Lord Ranks were unable to critically damage them.


    Only when an Origin Core Realm elder arrived did they manage to kill one of the rats. The other rats screamed and went back into their sand holes.


    "This sharp-toothed rat is an old race, and their skin and teeth are rare materials in the outside world," the Origin Core Realm elder said with joy.


    The elites of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan met more rat-type animals. Each group had three to five people, and there was a Great Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord guarding each area, so nothing bad happened.


    Zhao Feng and Liu Tianfan were in the same group, and they also fought some rats.


    Hmm? Zhao Feng suddenly sensed something and couldn''t help but look down.


    "Watch out!" Liu Tianfan roared as a surge of dark purple flame thundered toward the rocks below.


    With a Boom!, the members of this group used the force to retreat dozens of yards.


    The next instant, a scream sounded from the sand as a large black scorpion rose from the ground. The black scorpion was longer than a dozen yards, and it gave off a metallic feeling. Its tail and claws glinted with a poisonous and cold light.


    Sii!


    Everyone couldn''t help but take a cold breath. With that blow just now, only a faint scratch was left behind on the carapace.


    "Watch out! That scorpion is venomous." Liu Tianfan took out an Earth-grade long sword and slashed toward the scorpion.


    Dang!


    The giant scorpion used its claws to block the sword.


    Peng!


    The powerful force actually pushed Liu Tianfan back a couple steps.


    In a one-versus-one situation, the chance of Liu Tianfan winning was really low; the best choice would be to run away. However, the Divine Illusion Dimension was about teamwork. Only some elites whose strength had reached the Void God Realm had the ability to move alone.


    "Ha!" Zhao Feng roared, and a silver-blue metallic light appeared around his body as he thrust out his fist.


    Boom!


    An enormous physical force landed on the black scorpion, but the scorpion was extremely tough; it only shook a little and slowed down.


    However, that wasn''t Zhao Feng''s entire move. He pointed out with his finger, and waves of Water of Wind Lightning charged toward the black scorpion.


    Shu~~


    A numbing sensation limited the black scorpion''s speed.


    Bam! Bam!


    With the combined forces of physical strength and Water of Wind Lightning, Zhao Feng was able to restrict the black scorpion. He was extremely fast, and he had a profound Intent; the black scorpion''s attacks were unable to land on Zhao Feng.


    Ten breaths later, Zhao Feng and Liu Tianfan managed to gain the upper hand, but the scorpion''s defense was rather strong, and it wasn''t severely injured.


    Several Origin Core Realm elders who were experienced in fighting arrived and easily took care of the black scorpion.


    "Looks like the elderly are wiser," Liu Tianfan sighed.


    Most of the older generation had cultivations at the Great Origin Core Realm and were proficient in fighting.


    The black scorpion wasn''t even able to run away due to the help of the older elites.


    "The battle-power of these older elites is very high." Zhao Feng nodded his head and estimated that the combined sixty-plus juniors wouldn''t be a match for the thirty or so seniors.


    In the limitless sand, the forces of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan trudged forward, and some experts took out their steeds. Some land pets were better suited for this environment, and due to the pressure of the dimension and the sandstorms, flying pets were unsuitable anyway.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng didn''t summon the Yinming Bird, and he started to pay attention to whether there were any suitable steeds in the area.


    Half a day later, the clouds in the air became unusually calm, and they didn''t see any animals anymore.


    "Wait!" Old Fei suddenly raised his hand.


    "The weather is very bad. I''ve lived in the desert before when doing a mission for the clan. If I''m correct, a large sandstorm will arrive soon." Old Fei''s eyebrows furrowed.


    Sandstorm?


    The expressions of the clan''s elites all changed dramatically. If it was a normal sandstorm in the outside world, they wouldn''t put it in their eyes, but the Divine Illusion Dimension was very highly ranked, and no one here could fly.


    The power of this natural disaster was not to be underestimated. Just by looking at the fact that there were no beasts or animals around proved that.


    "Old Fei, what should we do?" Kong Feiling asked.


    "There''s no suitable place for us to hide and evade the sandstorm. The only thing we can do is find some high ground and form an array there," Old Fei said, and his suggestion was soon approved.


    They went to find a high ground and construct a defensive array.


    Ceng! Ceng! Ceng!


    The disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan started to move quickly. A while later, the group soon found a mountain and started to construct a defensive array there.


    With the help of Old Fei, they managed to build an Earth-elemental array that formed a rocky room and covered everyone.


    An hour later, the sky became dark as a sandstorm engulfed everything in sight.


    Weng~~


    The Earth-elemental array shook slightly, and its light dimmed a bit. Everyone quickly put in more Primal Crystal Stones and used their True Yuan.


    "The power of this sandstorm is stronger than I thought. Anyone below the half-step King level will be unable to survive in the sandstorm," Old Fei said with a solemn tone, and everyone let out a breath. Just a natural disaster in the Divine Illusion Dimension was already so dangerous.


    If only a couple elites were here, they would be unable to do anything.


    Zhao Feng sat down within the array and cultivated quietly with closed eyes.


    Every time the Divine Illusion Dimension opened, it would only stay open for several months, and it never exceeded half a year.


    Although this was a forgotten place, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here was much stronger than the outside world. More importantly, this place contained rare resources, but the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan didn''t seem to be very lucky; the place they connected to was a desolate desert.


    This storm lasted for an entire day and night.


    Finally, the sandstorm faded, and the mountain they were on was engulfed by sand.


    Boom! Boom!


    Several older experts pushed the sand away and opened a pathway.


    After seeing the sky again, they were in a daze. They couldn''t believe what they saw around them.

 792 Underground World

    Chapter 792 - Underground World


    On the mountain, the group of people looked around and were dazed by what they saw, including Zhao Feng.


    After the sandstorm, the mountain they were on was the only peak standing amidst a large hole. The feeling of solitude was extreme.


    The sand had been blown away by the sandstorm, and the area around them had turned into an abyss. The cold blowing of the wind made the disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan hiccup.


    "Look!"


    "That is¡­!?"


    Some disciples'' gazes locked onto the ground, and they could see some blurry structures.


    Hmm? Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye could see further; there was a small amount of buildings below. Furthermore, it wasn''t sand below them anymore, but black mud.


    "Could it be¡­?" Zhao Feng had some guesses and used his God''s Spiritual Eye to look further.


    At the same moment, all of the disciples from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan started to inspect the abyss below them.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Kong Feiling and Old Fei, two half-step Kings, leapt into the air. The other members all went down and started to search for tracks.


    "There''s an entrance here!" An exclamation sounded and caught everyone''s attention.


    Several disciples were standing in front of a palace-wall-like structure, and a long pathway could be seen underground.


    "Underground path? People have found underground cities and seas in the Divine Illusion Dimension before." Old Fei''s eyes twinkled.


    However, everyone''s senses were heavily restricted in the Divine Illusion Dimension. Even the mud and buildings could limit their senses. Only Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye could see what was below.


    "It should be an underground city," Zhao Feng spoke, and everyone agreed with him.


    The pathway went underground, and the mud was slightly wet. One could even see small insects.


    "This place won''t be covered by sand right away."


    The group started to discuss, and the majority agreed to go down and scout it out. The group followed the pathway and went down.


    There were some pearls in the pathway that gave off a faint light, and the sounds of roaring and biting sounded from the depths.


    The group finally reached the end after a long journey. The ground beneath their feet was dark green, and there were signs of humans altering the landscape.


    The material of the underground city was extremely tough, and due to the Divine Illusion Dimension itself, even the strongest blow of a True Lord Rank could only leave behind a faint scratch on the ground.


    Maybe because they hadn''t been used in a long time, many places in the underground city were dark. However, it wasn''t hard to see that this city had been worked on extensively. The field, fountain, stores, and houses had everything they needed. It wasn''t any worse than any other city.


    "Old Fei, I feel a disturbance of pure Yuan Qi from underground." Kong Feiling, who was in a beautiful dress, closed her eyes. Amongst the people present, she had the highest cultivation and the most powerful bloodline; she was the strongest one in their group.


    The group used their senses to scout around after hearing Kong Feiling''s warning.


    "You''re right." Old Fei, two other half-step Kings, and several peak Great Origin Core Realms felt the same feeling, and Zhao Feng revealed a weird expression as his left eye gazed in a certain direction.


    "Yuan Qi disturbance? It''s more than just that¡­." Zhao Feng''s soul was the strongest amongst the people present and, with the help of the God''s Spiritual Eye, his senses were the clearest.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on his shoulder and threw several old coins into the air, causing them to clatter.


    Old Fei and several older experts led the way while Kong Feiling followed closely behind as they headed toward the place where they sensed the disturbance in Yuan Qi.


    However, the journey wasn''t peaceful. Before they walked even a hundred yards, pairs of green eyes and wolf-like howling sounds appeared.


    Ceng! Ceng!


    With a flash of lightning, more than a dozen wolf-like humanoids charged out from a corner.


    "Watch out! It''s a mutated type of human ¨C wolfmen!" Old Fei warned as the two sides clashed.


    Wolfmen were unaffected by the darkness, and their senses were not affected by the buildings and mud. On top of that, they were very agile.


    Some disciples were killed by the wolfmen before they even managed to react. Luckily, the older elites were experienced, and Old Fei quickly killed a few wolfmen.


    Old Fei and company knew a bit about the wolfmen, but the other disciples weren''t as experienced.


    "Arghh!"


    A half-step Origin Core Realm disciple''s shoulder was ripped apart by a wolfman''s claw, and he screamed out in pain.


    The wolfmen were extremely fast, their claws were sharp, and they were stronger in the dim environment.


    Ceng! Ceng! Ceng!


    These wolfmen left several bodies behind with their ambush, then quickly retreated into the complex underground city.


    "These wolfmen are extremely cunning, and they specialize in teamwork and ambushing. They were only testing us just now," Old Fei warned.


    The battle a moment ago was just the wolfmen scouting them out.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan group kept pushing forward. There were some that specialized in defense, healing, or other unique abilities like assassination. Such a group had a higher chance to survive the unknown.


    Around half the time it took to make tea later, the howling of wolves and several hundred pairs of dark green eyes appeared once more, making everyone that saw them go cold.


    "Watch out! There''s several hundred wolfmen this time." Old Fei''s heart shook. Many of them were holding weapons, and some even had armor. Compared to before, this group of wolfmen was a group of elites.


    The several hundred wolfmen surrounded the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan''s group.


    Wu~~


    A large wolfman leader walked out. Its fur was golden-brown, and it held a long spear.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat on Zhao Feng''s shoulder gestured to Zhao Feng, as if translating something.


    "Plunder?"


    "They want us to leave everything behind and¡­ all the women?"


    The weird thing was that everyone could understand the little thieving cat''s gesturing.


    Everyone was surprised. Although the underground city was chaotic, it apparently had its own rules of survival as well.


    "Tell them that we are the plunderers." Kong Feiling snickered coldly.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws at the wolfman leader.


    Awuuuu~~~


    The wolfmen roared and howled, and the leader became angry as it waved its spear and ordered the others to attack.


    Boom!


    A dark green whirlwind appeared from the wolfman leader''s spear and swept toward the group from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Just a casual blow was comparable to the power of a half-step King.


    "Let me fight it!" Kong Feiling yelled as a glow of light radiated from her.


    Bam!


    Kong Feiling and the wolfman leader clashed, creating a shockwave that pushed everyone else away.


    Although the bloodline and technique of this wolfman weren''t as strong as Kong Feiling''s, it was extremely strong, and its physical body was powerful.


    At the same time, the several hundred wolfmen charged forward.


    In terms of number, the wolfmen had a big advantage, but the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan were all geniuses and not to be underestimated.


    An elder at the Great Origin Core Realm who specialized in Soul Dao techniques caused the wolfmen to panic and attack each other.


    Zhao Feng circulated his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body; he wasn''t scared of close combat. The wolfmen that approached him were all sent flying.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped around in between the wolfmen. He didn''t kill any of them, he just stunned them with its paws.


    "Capture the leader first!" Old Fei roared as he attacked the wolfman leader from the side.


    Wah!


    The wolfman leader spat out a mouthful of blood.


    After analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the wolfman, Kong Feiling started to suppress it. With the help of Old Fei, they pushed the leader back.


    Awuuu~~


    Seeing that things weren''t going as planned, the wolfman leader yelled and retreated with the other wolfmen.


    "These wolfmen aren''t too dumb. They specialize in working as a group to pick on the weak. If the opponent is too strong, they will retreat." Old Fei let out a long breath. After all, there were several hundred wolfmen, so if they fought without care, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan''s group would be severely injured.


    "Old Fei, I searched the soul of a small wolfman leader¡­" The Great Origin Core Realm elder that specialized in Soul Dao techniques came over and soon constructed a map of the area.


    At the same time, a map appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind, which contained information about the nearby area. In the chaotic situation just now, Zhao Feng soul-searched a wolfman as well.


    "The disturbance of Yuan Qi should from the forbidden ground of the underworld city ¨C the Evil God''s Altar."


    Old Fei and several others discussed. The Evil God was the god that these underground races prayed to.


    "To reach the Evil God''s Altar, we need to pass through the wolfmen, lizardmen, and even the territory of the scorpionmen. The scorpionmen are the strongest." Old Fei''s eyebrows locked together as he glanced toward Kong Feiling.


    There was definitely some sort of secret or fortune at the Evil God''s Altar, but based on the current situation, they would meet powerful races on the way. The strength of the lizardmen and the scorpionmen were even stronger than the wolfmen.


    "I feel like the Evil God''s Altar contains an unusual power." Kong Feiling decided to give it a go. Her Imperial Dao bloodline felt that the disturbance from the Evil God''s Altar was becoming stronger.


    "Okay. Everyone, get ready to fight. Lizardmen normally specialize in spitting fire. Those that cultivate Water-elemental techniques, gather here," Old Fei ordered.


    Zhao Feng had the Ice-Water bloodline and the Water of Wind Lightning, so he didn''t have an issue being summoned to the front. In the past, he liked to act alone, but now, he had witnessed the strength of a group and how they managed to survive.


    Now''s not the time to act alone, Zhao Feng thought.


    The group steadily entered the territory of the wolfmen and didn''t face many ambushes.


    Around half an hour later:


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    The sound of fire and human yelling came from ahead.


    "Hmm? Which force arrived before us?" Old Fei was very cautious.

 793 The Strong Scorpionmen

    Chapter 793 - The Strong Scorpionmen


    The area ahead was the territory of the lizardmen.


    Before they even arrived, they could feel a fiery hot aura. At this moment, fifty or sixty people were fighting with the lizardmen.


    These lizardmen were even bigger than the wolfmen, they had thicker skin, and they had the ability to spit fire and venom.


    Ding! Boom! Boom!


    Attacks from half-step Origin Core Realms were unable to threaten the lizardmen. On the other hand, the venom and fire from the lizardmen were extremely troublesome, and one would lose a layer of skin at the least, if they even survived at all.


    The leader of the younger generation group was a youth in purple who had reached the half-step King level, and there were also two older half-step Kings. The total strength and number of this group were slightly weaker than the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "It''s the Purple Sun Palace, which is close to the Tianfeng Great Island Zone." Old Fei let out a breath as he squinted his eyes.


    The Purple Sun Palace was a two-star sect that was close to the Tianfeng Great Island Zone. Those that were close to each other in the real world would also appear relatively close to each other in the Divine Illusion Zone, so it was within expectations that the Purple Sun Palace would appear here.


    Old Fei was only worried about meeting a three-star force or greater, or a single Void God Realm King.


    "Friends from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, our target is the same. Come help us!"


    The disciples and elites from the Purple Sun Palace were having a hard-fought battle. The lizardmen''s skin was extremely tough, and the fire and venom they spat out were troublesome.


    "Everyone, go and create a pathway through the lizardmen''s territory," Old Fei said without hesitation.


    The relationship between the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Purple Sun Palace wasn''t very good, but at the moment, they were facing another species and searching for fortune. The combined strength of both forces could reduce casualties.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan''s help instantly reduced the pressure on the Purple Sun Palace.


    Water-elemental attacks were more useful against the lizardmen. Zhao Feng, who had the Water of Wind Lightning, was obviously one of the top fighters.


    Shu! Shu! Shu!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, and ripples of water and lightning slashed toward the lizardmen nearby.


    The peak fifth level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was very strong, and his attacks all hit the lizardmen''s vitals. Most of the lizardmen were instantly killed by Zhao Feng, unable to fight back at all.


    "Hm? That brat''s Water Lightning has reached a very powerful level and seems to heavily counter the lizardmen." Some older experts couldn''t help but praise.


    Zhao Feng was extremely speedy and agile. The clumsy lizardmen were unable to even touch his clothes. Of course, when it came to the half-step King lizardmen, Zhao Feng only acted as a support.


    "Thank you, everyone," the Head disciple from the Purple Sun Palace expressed his thanks. The gaze of the purple-robed youth paused on Kong Feiling and Zhao Feng.


    The two two-star forces then teamed up and started to attack the territory of the lizardmen.


    "Lizardmen aren''t fast. We don''t need to fight with all of them, we just need to create a path," Old Fei suggested, and both groups accepted this.


    Lizardmen had tough skin, so killing them all one by one would be tiring. Not only was there a large number of lizardmen, they didn''t know how to retreat like the wolfmen. Wolfmen were more intelligent and would run away if they weren''t the enemy''s match, but lizardmen would fight to the death.


    "Kill!"


    The strongest people of the two forces opened a path while the defensive experts were responsible for keeping everyone safe. Zhao Feng and the agile ones were placed at the back, responsible for killing off any lizardmen that followed them.


    Around one hour later, the two forces successfully created a pathway.


    Hu~~


    Everyone let out a long breath. The lizardmen were indeed troublesome.


    At this moment, the weird Yuan Qi disturbance from below became stronger, and it was extremely alluring to living beings.


    Evil God''s Altar¡­ Zhao Feng''s left eye gazed toward the depths of the underground city. With the inspection of the God''s Spiritual Eye, he could guess and analyze what the disturbance was about.


    Zhao Feng''s Imperial Dao bloodline seemed to be very excited by this power, but his Ice-Water bloodline had no reaction.


    "Everyone, get ready! We are going to face the scorpionmen next. They are the strongest of the lot!" Old Fei yelled.


    Scorpionmen had strong offense, defense, and speed. Their attacks were also venomous.


    Before they even arrived in the territory of the scorpionmen, a surge of dark aura appeared. For some reason, Zhao Feng remembered the mutated scorpion he had once tamed in the Purple Saint Ruins. There was a similar aura here.


    Sii!


    An ugly scorpionman suddenly jumped out from a corner and waved its claws.


    It was just a single scorpionman. Because scorpionmen were so strong by themselves, they didn''t need to work together like wolfmen.


    Ding! Ding! Peng! Bam!


    Five or six elites attacked at the same time and forced the scorpionman back.


    "Don''t chase after it!"


    The scorpionman became angry and flicked its tail, stabbing through the heart of a disciple that was chasing after it.


    "Arghh!"


    The Origin Core Realm disciple screamed, then died.


    The experts from both forces drew in cold breaths.


    Zhao Feng realized that, in the attacks just now, the scorpionman''s carapace hadn''t been injured.


    Scorpionmen were fast and agile, and their claws and tails could deal critical damage. One could say that they were almost a perfect race ¨C apart from the fact that they were so ugly.


    "Those that cultivate the element of Fire, go to the front," Old Fei ordered.


    Although it couldn''t be said that the scorpionmen were countered by fire, they were less resilient against it.


    Hu~ Hu~ Hu~ Boom!


    Several experts that cultivated the element of Fire teamed up and sent a blast of flames toward the scorpionman, causing it to scream. Several breaths later, the scorpionman turned into ashes, but the leaders from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Purple Sun Palace had solemn expressions ¨C this was only one scorpionman.


    As they went further in, even stronger surges of a cold and dark aura appeared. The aura from these scorpionmen were stronger than the one before, and the two groups combined to fight one scorpionman after another.


    There were quite a few scorpionmen, but luckily, they didn''t gather by the hundreds. Otherwise, the two groups would have no chance at all.


    At a certain moment, a tall-but-ugly female scorpionman appeared in front. The female scorpionman had half-step King Intent, and her speed and offense had reached a terrifying level. Even the combined strength of two half-step Kings from the Purple Sun Palace was unable to touch her.


    "Argh!"


    Screams sounded from the group.


    Ding! Ding! Bam!


    Any attack that managed to land on the female scorpionman would create sparks; she was unharmed.


    "Apart from her soul-strength, her battle-power is comparable to a King." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but click his tongue.


    Her speed, attack, and defense were all very strong, and even normal half-step Kings could be slain by her venom.


    "Arghhhh!"


    A Great Origin Core Realm elder''s skin was sliced open by her claws, and he soon died.


    Anyone weaker than a King that was envenomated would almost certainly die. Even the experience Old Fei felt troubled.


    Apart from the female scorpionman, there were twenty or so additional powerful scorpionmen nearby who were all at least at the Great Origin Core Realm, not much weaker than half-step Kings.


    Right as the two sides began fighting, two Magnificent Powers appeared from the center of the scorpionmen''s territory.


    One Magnificent Power was evil and wicked. It was several times stronger than the female scorpionman. The other one was mystical, as if the owner couldn''t be caught.


    Boom¡­! Boom¡­! Boom¡­!


    The clash of the two King auras summoned more scorpionmen.


    "Hmm? Could there be a King from the outside world here?"


    The groups from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Purple Sun Palace were both wary.


    At this moment, the female scorpionman seemed to receive some news, and she quickly retreated with the other scorpionmen.


    Whoosh!


    The female scorpionman left a blurry afterimage behind.


    Hu~


    Everyone let out a breath. Apart from the female scorpionman''s soul not being as strong as a King''s, her battle-power had reached the level of a King.


    However, no realized that, when the female scorpionman rushed away by about two hundred yards and reached a dark corner, a gust of wind swished toward her head.


    Miao miao!


    A little silver-gray cat seemed to appear out of midair and hit her head with its paw. The paw wasn''t very strong, but a dizzying sensation overcame the female scorpionman. Immediately following that, a purple eye made of lightning appeared in her sight.


    "Ice Soul Gaze!"


    An ice-cold sensation spread throughout the female scorpionman''s relatively weaker soul.


    In reality, her soul wasn''t actually weaker than most half-step Kings, it just hadn''t reached the level of a King like her other aspects.


    God Tribulation Lightning¡­ an immortal and undying aura entered the female scorpionman''s soul, and it started to shake as if doomsday had arrived. This source of power injured her soul and made her tremble in fear.


    "Dark Heart Seal."


    As the female scorpionman panicked, a forbidden and wicked disturbance of eye-bloodline power imprinted itself into the depths of her soul.


    "Success," a handsome youth with purple hair murmured.


    Miao miao!


    Whoosh!


    The little thieving cat and the female scorpionman disappeared at the same time.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash of his lightning wings, the purple-haired youth disappeared.


    "Zhao Feng, where did you go just now?" Liu Tianfan saw the purple-haired youth appear from a dark corner.


    "I was fighting with a scorpionman and it ran away¡­." Zhao Feng said expressionlessly.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The battle between the two Kings became more and more fierce. Everyone saw a large shadow of a scorpion blot out the sky.


    "It''s a scorpionman King!"


    Everyone took in a cold breath. If normal scorpionmen were already so strong, it was hard to imagine how terrifying a King would be.


    At the same time, they let out a breath. If they had known that the scorpionmen had a King, they wouldn''t have dared to enter.


    "Looks like that scorpionman King''s been forced to use its bloodline secret technique!" Old Fei exclaimed.


    It was hard to imagine how strong the other King was if they could do that.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    The underground city shook, and one could faintly see a proud youth amongst the dust. He was covered in a silver haze and gave off spatial undulations.

 794 Familiar Person, Searching

    Chapter 794 - Familiar Person, Searching


    The clash between the youth and the scorpionman King caused everyone''s soul to shake.


    The scorpionman King used its bloodline secret technique to summon the shadow of a large scorpion, which released surges of an ancient bloodline aura that contained enough power to shake Heaven and Earth. This was under the fact that they were being heavily restricted by the Divine Illusion Dimension. If they were in the outside world, this scorpionman King could wreak havoc on some smaller island zones.


    Whoosh!


    The youth used a profound spatial technique and left behind a streak of silver as he moved freely.


    "Mystic Spatial Split!"


    A beam of silver suddenly extended across space itself and slashed toward the scorpionman King.


    Crack!


    The scorpionman King''s defense, which was able to withstand attacks from other Kings, started to crack and bleed.


    "Human bastard, die~~~!" the scorpionman King roared as it counterattacked. It waved its claws and tail around, creating a mixture of dark silver whirlwind that ripped everything within a hundred yards into shreds.


    Bo~~


    A silver flow of light covered the youth''s body, and the scorpionman King''s attack seemed to enter a spatial whirlpool and get directed away. However, even with the spatial secret defensive technique, the youth groaned and was forced back several dozen yards.


    "That scorpionman King''s battle-power is close to a Peak-tier King when enraged."


    "The aura of life from that King is really young, but I haven''t heard of such a person on the Imperial Genius rankings."


    The people from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Purple Sun Palace couldn''t help but start to discuss.


    Kong Feiling was on the Imperial Genius rankings, but she was only ranked around three hundred.


    Although the youth wasn''t able to clash with the scorpionman King head-on, he was able to gain control due to his spatial techniques.


    "It''s him¡­!" Zhao Feng looked at the proud youth and was surprised. That''s right, he knew this youth and had even worked together with him. Seeing him once again, Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    "Friend, do you need our help?" A light glittered in Kong Feiling''s eyes. The youth''s strength and appearance gave even the proud Kong Feiling a good impression.


    "No need," the youth said expressionlessly as he fought against the scorpionman King with his spatial techniques.


    As time passed, the scorpionman King was unable to keep up the bloodline secret technique, and its injuries started to add up. Within one hour''s time, the scorpionman King was defeated, and it turned into a dark streak of light and sped toward the darker and more wicked areas of the underground city.


    The youth didn''t chase after the scorpionman King because he had expended a lot of energy to win.


    "May I ask which force you come from?" Old Fei, Kong Feiling, and company asked. If they were able to form an alliance with such a genius, it would be a great help to them.


    "Nan Gongsheng, Mystic True Sacred Clan." The youth scanned over the two groups emotionlessly. They had many half-step Kings and a lot of elites. He couldn''t ignore them.


    "Nan Gongsheng?" Kong Feiling smiled and gently murmured this name as she remembered it.


    Nan Gongsheng wasn''t very famous in the lord dynasty.


    "Mystic True Sacred Clan? No wonder¡­." Old Fei knew a lot, and three-star forces were rare even in the continent zone. The Mystic True Sacred Clan was a three-star superpower from the Cang Ocean.


    After defeating the scorpionman King, Nan Gongsheng entered the scorpionmen''s palace and started to take their treasures.


    "The resources in the scorpionman King''s palace are mine. You guys can have everything else," Nan Gongsheng said.


    The scorpionman King was defeated by Nan Gongsheng alone, so no one dared to take any of the treasures in the palace.


    Being the strongest race in the area, the scorpionmen had a large amount of wealth.


    Zhao Feng also participated in the plundering. The female scorpionman he had taken control of knew the territory of the scorpionmen well, as well as several places where they hid their treasures. According to the soul search Zhao Feng did on the female scorpionman, she was the King''s "queen." Apart from the scorpionman King himself, she had the highest status and greatest strength.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng left behind a ripple of water and lightning as he entered a "resource chamber." There were four scorpionmen experts guarding the resource chamber, and Zhao Feng summoned the scorpionmen''s queen to get rid of them.


    Rare plants and treasures of every type lay in the resource chamber. They were all extremely rare and hard to find in the outside world.


    A surge of pure Heaven Earth Yuan Qi instantly flowed out and raised the attention of some people nearby.


    "Come!" Zhao Feng used his fastest speed to gather some of the resources that were useful to him.


    "Hmm? Dark Lightning Wood!"


    Zhao Feng soon found a rare Lightning Dao material. It was a piece of black wood with dark lightning carvings on it.


    Dark Lightning Wood grew in a wet environment and absorbed the power of lightning. The piece of Dark Lightning Wood in front of him was rare, and it had gathered the essence of lightning over the past several dozen millennia.


    Zhao Feng held this wood and circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, and he felt wisps of dim lightning enter his body.


    "Five Balanced Water Spirit Grass¡­. Dim Wind Bamboo¡­. Dark Dragon Teeth Grass¡­."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes glowed, but there were probably some resources in the palace that were worth even more. However, some of the resources here were the most useful for Zhao Feng.


    Ceng! Ceng!


    At this moment, the elites of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Purple Sun Palace felt the aura from the treasures and quickly closed in. The aura from these treasures was too strong, and Zhao Feng couldn''t fully seal it. He could use his Magnificent Power, but that would probably attract even more attention.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re pretty lucky." Old Fei led a group of people and quickly gathered near the resource chamber.


    "Quick! Don''t let the people from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan take everything!"


    The speed of those from the Purple Sun Palace wasn''t much slower, but the four scorpionmen started to attack them when they got close.


    The battle soon started, but it wasn''t hard for the two forces to kill them.


    Only Old Fei was slightly curious; Why could Zhao Feng enter the resource chamber without being attacked by those scorpionmen?


    However, he didn''t have the time to think anymore. They charged into the resource chamber and obtained the treasures. This resource chamber had many treasures that were all put in separate containers and protected by arrays. A certain amount of time was required to break through every array.


    By the time they arrived, Zhao Feng had already taken several treasures that were most useful for him, including the Dark Lightning Wood, the Five Balanced Water Spirit Grass, and the Dim Wind Bamboo, which would help Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning Technique and True Yuan, while the Dark Dragon Teeth Grass was a rare plant that increased one''s lifeforce. The Dark Dragon Teeth Grass was the only item that Zhao Feng found that could help his body-strengthening technique greatly.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Purple Sun palace split the resources, and since Zhao Feng was the one that found the place, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan received 70% while the Purple Sun Palace only received 30%.


    Those from the Purple Sun Palace weren''t greedy though. In terms of strength, they were slightly weaker than the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and they had already made an agreement beforehand.


    The resource chamber was soon depleted.


    "Zhao Feng, the treasures you took seem to have the highest value." Old Fei''s eyes twinkled as he looked at him, and Zhao Feng knew what he meant. With a smile, Zhao Feng took out the resources he had taken.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re very honest." Old Fei nodded his head in satisfaction. The resources Zhao Feng had found were alluring even to half-step Kings. According to the rules, Zhao Feng needed to split the resources he found with his group. Who would dare to enter such a dangerous place alone?


    "These are all rightfully mine." Zhao Feng''s tone was calm.


    Hearing that, Old Fei''s expression wasn''t very natural, and he was unhappy in his heart. It was obvious that Zhao Feng had no signs of splitting these resources.


    "Oh well, you were the one that found the resource chamber." Old Fei didn''t want to fight amongst themselves, and he could tell that Zhao Feng had some hidden cards; the nearby scorpionmen that were responsible for guarding the resource chamber didn''t attack Zhao Feng, but they attacked everyone else. Furthermore, Zhao Feng had a mysterious Emperor as a master, and he was praised by Duke Nanfeng himself. Old Fei was just a middle echelon member of the clan and didn''t want to offend Zhao Feng.


    I''ll wait for a chance to scam this brat, Old Fei decided.


    Shua!


    With a flash, Zhao Feng headed toward another direction.


    "There is another storage place containing parts of rare beasts," Zhao Feng murmured. Since he had enslaved the scorpionmen queen, he knew more than others.


    However, when he arrived, other people had already found the place. Kong Feiling and the purple-robed youth, the two Head disciples of the two clans, were present.


    This underground chamber was enormous, and the materials here could be stacked into a mountain. Some materials needed to be stored in certain environments or else the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi would flow away and decay.


    I don''t need to have anything else, but the bones of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion King must be mine. Zhao Feng had a decisive look.


    The bones of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion King contained pure power of Wind Lightning, which was compatible with Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning Technique. The only regretful thing was that the Crystal Core of the King lion was personally held by the scorpionman King.


    Back then, the scorpionman King had paid a big price to slay the Purple Wind Lightning Lion, and he relied on his venom.


    Just the power of Wind Lightning within the Crystal Core of a King could allow Zhao Feng''s cultivation to dramatically increase.


    "Found it!" Zhao Feng used his memories and God''s Spiritual Eye to find the dark purple crystal-like bones quickly.


    However:


    "Brat, stop!" Several people from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Purple Sun Palace both found the bones of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion as well.

 795 Framing

    Chapter 795 - Framing


    These people had arrived even earlier than Zhao Feng, and they knew what was valuable. Although they didn''t recognize the exact history of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion bones, that didn''t stop them from estimating its value.


    The person who told him to stop included the purple-robed youth. He was a Head disciple and had reached the half-step King level, but he wasn''t on the Imperial Genius rankings.


    "Everyone that''s here gets a share, and I want some of those bones," Zhao Feng said directly, and his attitude infuriated the Purple Sun Palace. A genius from the Purple Sun Palace had found this place first, and Zhao Feng wanted to take one of the most valuable materials even though he didn''t do anything? This made them angry and laugh at the same time.


    "Hmph, we haven''t even decided how to split the resources yet." The purple-robed youth furrowed his eyebrows. Although the cultivation of this youth wasn''t very high, he had actually had such a thick face.


    "What''s going on?" Zhao Feng''s eyes turned toward the Head disciple of his clan, Kong Feiling.


    Kong Feiling had a weird expression, and Zhao Feng finally understood that the two forces hadn''t even decided how to split the resources yet.


    The Purple Sun Palace had found this place first and wanted the biggest cut, but several people from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan were also present when it was found. The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan wanted to split it 50-50, but the Purple Sun Palace wanted at least 60%.


    "It''s simple then ¨C let one''s own abilities decide."


    Hearing that, those from the Purple Sun Palace became furious.


    "Brat, if we let our own abilities decide, you won''t be able to obtain these rare Lightning Dao bones!" An elder from the Purple Sun Palace roared with laughter.


    "Fine, I''ll back out for now." Zhao Feng shrugged his shoulders and moved toward Kong Feiling.


    "Wait, the bones have disappeared!" The eyes of a chubby middle-aged man from the Purple Sun Palace bulged out, and everyone looked over.


    The bones of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion had disappeared.


    Whoosh!


    A dark streak of silver flashed.


    "Spatial technique!" the purple-robed youth yelled as his half-step Divine Sense filled the air, but the streak of silver disappeared.


    "Brat, did you just steal the bones?"


    Those from the Purple Sun Palace looked over. Even the purple-haired youth was suspicious of Zhao Feng.


    "Ridiculous. Which one of you saw me steal the bones?" Zhao Feng said disdainfully, and everyone''s expression froze.


    Indeed, Zhao Feng hadn''t done anything. He was being watched by both sides the entire time, so he didn''t have any chance to do anything.


    "Furthermore, who has the ability to steal something right in front of two half-step Kings?" Zhao Feng said righteously.


    Those from the Purple Sun Palace and the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan acted as if they had seen a ghost. Logic told them that Zhao Feng couldn''t have done it, and yet instinct told them that Zhao Feng was definitely related to it.


    "Then who do you think did it?" the purple-robed youth asked.


    Zhao Feng was silent for a moment; "According to my analysis, there''s only one person who has the ability to do this, and he''s not from the two forces."


    Hearing that, everyone''s heart shook.


    "Nan Gongsheng!" Kong Feiling and the purple-robed youth exclaimed.


    Ability-wise, Nan Gongsheng was the most suspicious.


    "It might be Nan Gongsheng. His spatial techniques have reached a profound level."


    Some people soon agreed. After all, there was no one among the two forces with such ability.


    Zhao Feng laughed in his heart. Nan Gongsheng, I''m not purposely framing you, this is just the logical answer.


    In the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had worked together before, and Nan Gongsheng played a big role in slaying Wen Luoan.


    Nan Gongsheng did have the ability to steal the bones, but he was rather proud. He might take them by force, but he would never steal them.


    "I didn''t expect that Nan Gongsheng to be a thieving bastard." The purple-robed youth had a grim expression. If this was true, then they wouldn''t be able to do anything against Nan Gongsheng. They could do nothing against Nan Gongsheng''s spatial talents.


    Right at this moment:


    Whoosh!


    Another rare material flew into the air and disappeared.


    "That was a bull''s heart!"


    "That was the heart of an ancient bull that had almost reached the Void God Realm. It can strengthen one''s organs and is suitable for body-strengthening."


    Chaos broke out. By the end ¨C no one knew who started it ¨C but everyone started to take whatever they saw. The streak of silver would occasionally appear.


    "Nan Gongsheng¡­! Bastard!"


    Both forces swore as they fought. Although this thief hadn''t taken much, they were all the most valuable.


    "Hm? Who''s cursing me?" The Divine Sense of a King swept over.


    Boom!


    Everyone''s soul shook as a Magnificent Power arrived. The two forces that were cursing and swearing instantly felt unable to breathe.


    "Who''s cursing me?"


    A youth arrived with just a couple steps.


    Nan Gongsheng!


    The expressions of everyone from the two forces stiffened, and those that had cursed out loud were scared.


    At this moment, Nan Gongsheng had finished taking some of the resources from the scorpion King Palace, and the rest weren''t rare enough. He was just about to leave when he heard someone cursing him; the senses of a Void God Realm King were extremely strong.


    "This¡­ it was an accident," the purple-robed youth and company started to explain.


    "You can''t blame us. That Zhao Feng was suspicious of you, so we¡­" The Purple Sun Palace group started to shift the blame onto Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng? Nan Gongsheng revealed a weird look and gazed toward a handsome youth.


    "That''s right. I was suspicious of Nan Gongsheng, but I never swore or cursed at him," Zhao Feng said without fear. He just wanted to direct the suspicion away himself. After all, Nan Gongsheng was strong enough to handle them all. Those who had sworn and cursed out loud were from the Purple Sun Palace.


    "Why were you suspicious of me?" Nan Gongsheng stared at Zhao Feng with a grim expression. This youth had the same name as that person. That person had even killed the Emperor of Death ¨C Nan Gongsheng couldn''t reach that person''s height.


    However, after scanning with his Divine Sense, he determined that they were not the same person. The aura of their techniques was different, and Nan Gongsheng just couldn''t connect this weak youth with the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor.


    "Senior Martial Brother Nan, it''s like this¡­" Zhao Feng told him a summary of what had happened.


    "You''re very honest, and your suspicions¡­ are indeed logical." Nan Gongsheng faintly nodded his head. It was hard to find anyone else that could steal in front of two half-step Kings without them realizing. Even Nan Gongsheng would have to give it his full strength to do so.


    "As for you brats¡­" Nan Gongsheng''s cold gaze scanned over the purple-robed youth and company.


    Boom!


    A spatial disturbance crushed over.


    Wah!


    The purple-robed youth and company all spat out a mouthful of blood; they were injured. None of them could do anything in front of a King that specialized in Space. Only Kong Feiling might be able to exchange a few blows with Nan Gongsheng, but Kong Feiling always thought well of Nan Gongsheng and hadn''t cursed at him.


    The only ones that Nan Gongsheng had punished were those who had cursed him. How dare they humiliate a King?


    Those from the Purple Sun Palace had dead-fish-eyed expressions, and they didn''t dare to say anything.


    "I wouldn''t bother stealing it from you, I would just take it by force." Nan Gongsheng snickered coldly, then waved his hand and used a spatial technique to gather the resources in the underground chamber.


    No one from the Purple Sun Palace or the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan dared to stop him or take anything, apart from one person ¨C Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn''t stop Nan Gongsheng, he just started to take some other resources as well.


    "Zhao Feng¡­." Kong Feiling and company all sweated for Zhao Feng.


    "Hahaha¡­ you''re interesting and courageous, just like that person!" Nan Gongsheng laughed. Most resources here were of no use to him, but Zhao Feng''s actions had raised his interest.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng used the Water of Wind Lightning when moving.


    "Wind Lightning? What''s the relationship between you and that Zhao Feng!?" Nan Gongsheng exclaimed.


    "Relationship? My name is Zhao Feng." Zhao Feng smiled as he quickly took the resources.


    At this moment in time, those from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Purple Sun Palace didn''t dare to do anything.


    "Similar, so similar¡­." Nan Gongsheng murmured.


    The technique that this Zhao Feng cultivated was similar to the original Zhao Feng, and they even acted in similar ways. Of course, Nan Gongsheng was suspicious, but he didn''t actually believe it. He wouldn''t believe that the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor, an unparalleled Emperor, would be this weak youth.


    A while later, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng took everything from the underground chamber.


    Nan Gongsheng didn''t attack Zhao Feng. Maybe it was because the latter''s actions suited his taste, or maybe it was because of that person.


    Zhao Feng remained expressionless after taking the resources. He had a good control over Nan Gongsheng''s thoughts, and he was certain that Nan Gongsheng wouldn''t dislike his actions.


    Nan Gongsheng¡­. I won''t reveal my identity to you, but I won''t hide it either. Let''s see if you can figure it out or not. A smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face as he looked toward the direction where Nan Gongsheng went.


    He decided to get a good control over Nan Gongsheng''s mindset in order to get himself more benefits. After all, Nan Gongsheng was definitely one of the strongest people that had entered the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    An hour later, Nan Gongsheng left the territory of the scorpionmen and headed toward the Evil God''s Altar.


    The Evil God''s Altar released a mysterious power that made the nearby Heaven Earth Yuan Qi unusual. Those with stronger bloodlines felt it even more intensely.


    According to the reactions of the underground races, the Evil God''s Altar was creating some kind of miracle.


    "The defeated scorpionman King should have escaped to the Evil God''s Altar. We''ll follow behind Nan Gongsheng. He can do all the work while we take everything." Old Fei''s eyes twinkled with cunning.

 796 Evil God Crystal

    Chapter 796 - Evil God Crystal


    The Evil God Altar was at the very center of the underground city, and the closer a species was to the altar, the stronger they were. Zhao Feng received information from the scorpionmen queen that the scorpionmen weren''t the only species near the altar. There were three other species that weren''t any weaker than the scorpionmen.


    In reality, the underground city also had ratmen, catmen, and other weaker species even further away from the altar than the wolfmen. There was more than one pathway that led to the underground city; the Purple Sun Palace group had entered from another entrance.


    Zhao Feng didn''t know how Nan Gongsheng got in, but according to what he knew, Kings would enter a random spot in the Divine Illusion Dimension. However, this random spot didn''t mean they would show up anywhere in the entire Divine Illusion Dimension, only the part that actually connected to the continent zone. The area that connected was only a small portion of the entire dimension every time, and it was because of this that the lord dynasty had a limited understanding of the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Four hours later, the group passed through the territory of the scorpionmen. At this moment, a large black field appeared in the complex underground city. The field was dozens of miles wide and had a wicked altar at the center that gave off an evil aura.


    Di! Da!


    There was a blood pond a hundred yards wide in the center of the wicked altar, and many thick silver beams that reached the top of the underground city.


    Black field, evil altar, a pond of blood ¨C this atmosphere fit perfectly with the underground city.


    Of course, what caught everyone''s attention the most was a purple-blood-colored crystal at the top of the silver beams of the blood pond.


    This Purple Blood Pearl was flawless and gave off a wicked power that caused the nearby Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to become chaotic.


    "Evil God''s Altar¡­ this is it." Kong Feiling felt her Imperial Dao bloodline shake, and the feeling became very strong.


    Zhao Feng''s mutated Imperial Dao bloodline felt it as well.


    Hu~


    A red flame appeared on Zhao Feng''s body, then quickly faded away.


    Is this the Evil God Crystal? Zhao Feng inspected it. He knew more due to the scorpionmen queen.


    The Evil God''s Crystal was a type of God Crystal. Most God Crystals in the Fan Universe were substandard God Crystals, including those used to pass through Spiritual Zone Teleportation Arrays. On the other hand, the Evil God Crystal was apparently created by the divine power of an ancient Evil God.


    "I didn''t think it would be a pure God Crystal¡­! Unfortunately, this God Crystal has formed an evil consciousness and has the ability to affect the real world." Old Fei was extremely excited.


    It was a God Crystal, and not a substandard one. This was something that belonged to the domain of Gods! The unique part about this Evil God Crystal was that it could conceal its power and affect the beings around it.


    "Nan Gongsheng!" Kong Feiling suddenly exclaimed.


    A pale-faced youth leaned on a wall in the corner of the Evil God''s Altar. Several bodies of other species lay nearby.


    It was obvious that Nan Gongsheng had been through a hard battle that was even fiercer than the fight against the scorpionmen.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew from the queen, powerful warriors of four different races guarded this place. Apart from them, there was also a "priest." Although the battle-power of the priest wasn''t very strong, they could interact with the Evil God''s Altar, so they had a high status.


    "Nan Gongsheng, what happened to you?" Kong Feiling rushed over with care.


    "Don''t come near me!" Nan Gongsheng''s expression became grim. He was used to working alone and didn''t trust anyone.


    The forces from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Purple Sun Palace started to slowly gather toward the altar.


    A weird scene happened. Many disciples that got too close to the altar seemed to lose control and kept on walking toward the blood pond.


    Plop!


    One disciple from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan licked his lips and jumped into the pond of blood.


    Shuu~~~


    Bubbles appeared in the pond as the body of the disciple dissolved into nothing.


    "Retreat! Everyone retreat!" Old Fei exclaimed.


    Normal disciples didn''t have Nan Gongsheng''s King Intent, which could easily block the power of the Evil God Crystal.


    The members of the two forces soon retreated to a certain distance. Only those with strong Intent could go close to the Evil God''s Altar and start to inspect it.


    "Nan Gongsheng, have you seen the priest?" Zhao Feng asked.


    Nan Gongsheng''s eyes opened, and a weird light flashed through his eyes. Zhao Feng''s tone was like he was talking to someone familiar.


    "priest? I haven''t seen anyone like that around the altar. There were a few strong warriors, but I killed them," Nan Gongsheng replied, and he suddenly felt weird; why did he reply to this youth''s question so patiently?


    The priest of the Evil God''s Altar hasn''t appeared? Zhao Feng felt that there was something suspicious. Could it be that the priest had urgent matters and left before Nan Gongsheng arrived? Zhao Feng felt that this was the most likely possibility. After all, the warriors around the altar had all been slain by Nan Gongsheng, including a King.


    Nan Gongsheng looked weak and seemed to be injured. This wasn''t just from the battle, it was also likely that the power of the God Crystal had harmed him when he tried to take the Evil God Crystal away. After all, the Evil God Crystal had its own evil consciousness, and it had methods it could use.


    Even Nan Gongsheng can''t take the Evil God Crystal. That means that the others¡­ Zhao Feng thought.


    The Evil God Crystal wasn''t a substandard God Crystal, it was a true God Crystal, an invaluable treasure in the Fan Universe. A pure God Crystal was extremely useful for Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords trying to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    Once Zhao Feng returned to the peak of his previous life, he might be able to barely move its power around.


    Ta! Ta!


    Zhao Feng walked confidently to the Evil God''s Altar. He first glanced at the Evil God''s Altar, then started to approach the blood pond.


    "Zhao Feng!" someone from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan yelled. They thought that Zhao Feng was being controlled by the power of the Evil God Crystal.


    A weird light flashed through Old Fei''s eyes. Zhao Feng''s eyes were full of intelligence and showed no signs that he was being controlled.


    "No need to worry, let me inspect it." Zhao Feng walked a few circles around the blood pond, and the Evil God Crystal released a mysterious wicked power that tried to affect Zhao Feng, but it had no effect.


    A faint purple glittered in Zhao Feng''s left eye as he glared at the Evil God Crystal.


    Weng~


    The Evil God Crystal shook slightly and radiated a faint purple-red light that fought back.


    Zhao Feng stood still. His mental energy world was like the ocean, and his Sacred Lightning Body released an invisible physical force that protected him. This combination of his mental energy and physical body was perfect.


    Of course, the Evil God Crystal wasn''t exactly a true intelligence; it only counterattacked depending on the force that attacked it. Simply put, one could look at it as a weapon with a weapon spirit. If you didn''t offend or attack it, the weapon would find it hard to initiate an attack.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng crouched down and aimed his hand at the blood pond.


    Weng~~~


    With the direction of his invisible physical force, a ball of blood appeared in his hand.


    "If I get rid of the eroding and evil power in the blood, the pure essence can strengthen one''s True Yuan, cultivation, and body!" Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    The blood essence came from some ancient races in the underground city, which were then eroded by the power of the Evil God Crystal.


    According to what the scorpionmen queen knew, some warriors had entered this blood pond in the past and come out much stronger. The priest could connect to the Evil God Crystal and make sure that anyone who entered the blood pond would not be affected by the wicked power.


    However, at the same time, the underground city would also send prisoners to the blood pond and sacrifice them to their Evil God. If they didn''t, the flames from the underground would devour half of the underground city and wreak havoc upon the species that lived here.


    Some species tried to go without believing in the Evil God, but the places where they lived were all burned by the underground fire.


    As time passed, the power of the Evil God affected the entire underground city. Those that believed in the Evil God would become stronger, whereas disaster would fall upon those that didn''t.


    "You humans! The power of the Evil God will rip you all into shreds¡­!" a roar suddenly sounded from the pathway on the other side of the black field.


    In the next instant, a snakeman elder holding a staff with a Purple Blood Stone on it rushed toward their group.


    "That''s¡­!" Everyone looked toward the snakeman elder that was wearing a priest outfit.


    "It''s the priest!"


    The running snakeman elder was the priest of the Evil God Altar. However, when he saw the ruins around the Evil God''s Altar, he swore out loud.


    "Humans, how dare you split your forces in two and try to attack the Evil God''s Altar!? The power of the Evil God isn''t something you can think about," the priest cursed in human language.


    Zhao Feng was surprised. It looked like this priest had been chased by some sort of power.


    "Watch out! The priest is a Void God Realm King!" Old Fei exclaimed.


    Although the priest didn''t specialize in battle, he was still a King, and he could communicate with the Evil God Crystal as well.


    "Anger of the Evil God!" The snakeman priest waved his staff, and the Purple Blood Stone on it gave off a light that interacted with the Evil God Crystal.


    Boom!


    The black field instantly started to shake as a purple-and-blood-colored haze spread throughout the air.


    The purple-and-blood-colored light contained a strong eroding power that sucked away the blood and essence of the beings present. Furthermore, a power similar to Magnificent Power pressured the air nearby.


    "Hmph!" Nan Gongsheng''s figure flashed and disappeared. A spatial blade then shot toward the snakeman priest.


    The snakeman priest wasn''t scared; he raised the staff, which gave off a glow of purple-blood-colored light that forced Nan Gongsheng back.


    Right as everyone was shocked by the power of the snakeman priest:


    "Snakeman priest, let''s see where you can run to!" a thunderous roar sounded alongside a surge of Magnificent Power.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several powerful auras appeared from the pathway where the snakeman priest had come from. There was a total of one hundred and sixty people.

 797 Profit and Loss

    Chapter 797 - Profit and Loss


    The group that was following the snakeman priest was even stronger than the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan''s group.


    "Which clan managed to force the snakeman priest into such situation?"


    Old Fei and company were surprised, but they also let out a breath at the same time. The strength of the priest was monstrous when he communicated with the Evil God Crystal.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The leader of the new group was a muscular male with thick eyebrows. He held a spear, and lightning sparkled everywhere.


    "You humans¡­! Good, very good!"


    The snakeman priest became enraged. This other group had destroyed the home of the snakemen, so the snakeman priest went back to try to help, but he wasn''t the muscular male''s match. Once he left the black field, he would be unable to communicate with the power of the Evil Crystal God.


    Boom~~~~!


    The snakeman priest waved his staff, and weird purple lightning snakes shot toward the group.


    "Arghh!"


    Screams sounded from the chasing group. They didn''t expect the snakeman priest to become this much stronger after reaching the black field.


    "Extreme Lightning Spear!" The muscular male with thick eyebrows stabbed out with his spear, condensing the power of lightning into an arc as it pierced through the air.


    Boo~~


    A purple-and-blood-colored light glowed from the snakeman priest and interacted with the power of the Evil God Crystal. Although the snakeman priest was unable to fully and truly use this power, it was much more profound, and the muscular male''s attack was unable to break through the priest''s defense.


    "How is this possible¡­?" The muscular male was dazed. The snakeman priest that he beat the crap out of moments ago was now even stronger than he was.


    The snakeman priest casually waved his staff, attacking the muscular male with a purple-and-blood-colored light that forced him to retreat.


    The power of the Evil God Crystal is too profound even though it doesn''t contain any laws¡­. Zhao Feng retreated to a corner.


    The priest didn''t have any technique; he relied on pure power. Even Emperors would be slightly weaker in terms of pure power, but luckily, the Evil God Crystal didn''t contain any Intent.


    "Anger of the Evil God!" The snakeman priest raised his staff, and the force of the Evil God Crystal radiated across the area. The entire black field was covered by a purple-and-blood-colored haze.


    All the elites felt their lifeforce, blood, and even their bloodlines become weaker.


    Weng~~


    On the other hand, the color of the Evil God Crystal became brighter. Zhao Feng finally understood why those with bloodlines would have a unique attraction to the power of the Evil God Crystal.


    "May I ask if you are Gu Chaozhi, who is ranked 145th on the Imperial Genius rankings? Let''s team up and fight the priest together," Old Fei suggested.


    Many people recognized the muscular male with the spear. Gu Chaozhi came from a three-star power at the edges of the continent zone, the Earth Spirit Hall. He was also on the Imperial Genius rankings, and he was ranked much higher than Kong Feiling.


    "Sure." Gu Chaozhi was extremely straightforward. He made the elites of the Earth Spirit Hall form a defensive formation to fight against the snakeman priest. The pressure on the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Purple Sun Palace was smaller, and they used this chance to fight back.


    The geniuses of the Earth Spirit Hall, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and the Purple Sun Palace all combined their power. Their force wasn''t something to be underestimated; the Earth Spirit Hall alone was a three-star superpower.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    The field underneath the Evil God''s Altar started to shake, and the snakeman priest gripped his staff slightly. He wasn''t as nonchalant as before. The two King geniuses ¨C Gu Chaozhi and Nan Gongsheng ¨C would occasionally ambush him from the side as well.


    "Kill the priest first, then we''ll discuss how to split the Evil God Crystal!"


    The three forces and Nan Gongsheng all came to an agreement and increased their offense.


    Although the snakeman priest could connect to the Evil God Crystal, he was unable to fully unleash its power.


    He was slowly put at a disadvantage, but the three powers were unable to kill him. The snakeman priest had retreated to the Evil God''s Altar and was using the power of the Evil God Crystal and the blood pond. As long as he only focused on defending, even the two Kings would be unable to break through his defense.


    What was even worse was that the wicked power of the Evil God Crystal was filling the field, and everyone was slowly losing their lifeforce and True Yuan. The depleting lifeforce and energy was then being absorbed by the blood pond and the Evil God Crystal.


    If this continued, the three forces wouldn''t be in a good spot. Of course, the snakeman priest was also using a lot of energy in the fight.


    "We have more people, so we can drag this fight out until he dies."


    The three forces continued their offense, and some of the people directed their attacks toward the altar.


    "If we destroy the altar, the speed of the Evil God Crystal''s power absorption will decrease," Old Fei said with a smile.


    Crack!


    Under the barrage of attacks, a crack appeared in the altar despite its extreme toughness. The priest''s expression changed slightly.


    "Scorpion King, come out!" the priest suddenly exclaimed and waved his staff.


    Peng!


    An ugly, black scorpionman jumped out from the blood pond.


    "Scorpion King!"


    This scorpionman was the one Nan Gongsheng had defeated before. The scorpionman King''s injuries had been healed after entering the blood pond, and he was currently covered in a purple-and-blood-colored haze that increased his battle-power and defense.


    "Kill!!" The scorpionman King waved its claws and charged into the group with a surge of his dark Magnificent Power.


    "Defeated trash!" Nan Gongsheng used his spatial techniques to approach the scorpionman King, sending small spatial blades through the air.


    After the scorpionman King joined the fight, the pressure on the priest decreased dramatically. Both the scorpionman King''s defense and offense were extremely strong, and with the help of the Evil God Crystal, it was like adding wings onto a tiger.


    On the other hand, Nan Gongsheng wasn''t at his peak.


    Bam!


    Gu Chaozhi from the Earth Spirit Hall gripped his spear and charged toward the Evil God''s Altar several times, but he was sent flying every time.


    The priest was using the power of the Evil God Crystal, so he was almost undefeatable in terms of defense.


    "Everyone, retreat!" Old Fei exclaimed; he found that the situation wasn''t looking good.


    Concerning the two Kings, Nan Gongsheng had already used up a lot of energy, so he was feeling slightly weak. Gu Chaozhi wasn''t at his peak either.


    The three forces decided to momentarily retreat from the Evil God''s Altar into a passage nearby.


    Within the dark passage of the underground city, the three forces started to discuss with each other while keeping an eye on the Evil God''s Altar.


    The scorpionman King returned to the blood pond. The priest didn''t dare to let the scorpionman King go too far, otherwise he would be unable to fend off the elites of the three forces by himself when they returned.


    "I''ll destroy the altar after I recover my energy. I hope everyone will give it their all," Nan Gongsheng said as he recovered his Yuan Qi in a corner.


    "I still have some secret techniques I can use." Gu Chaozhi nodded his head.


    The critical part about dealing with the priest was the altar. If the priest couldn''t utilize the power of the Evil God Crystal, he would be killed.


    For the next day or two, all the elites were recovering. On the other hand, Zhao Feng was already refreshed. He hadn''t done much in the underground city.


    Dark Lightning Wood. A piece of black wood appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, and he quickly circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique to absorb its power. This piece of wood contained the pure essence of lightning, and Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning Technique could become more powerful by absorbing it. Of course, Zhao Feng still needed to purify the dark power within the Dark Lightning Wood.


    Dim Wind Bamboo. Zhao Feng''s other hand took out a piece of bamboo that summoned a gust of wind.


    These two resources were extremely rare in the outside world. One was a powerful Lightning Dao resource, and the other was a powerful Wind Dao resource.


    Zhao Feng could multi-task with the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    Five Balanced Water Spirit Grass. A third item appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    "This guy''s so rich. He''s directly absorbing those three treasures." Some of the present disciples nearby were envious, while the older disciples shook their heads. Zhao Feng absorbing three treasures at the same time made others sigh.


    Incredibly, Zhao Feng had a high efficiency, and he didn''t lose much Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the process. If this wasn''t some sort of talent, it would have to be a secret technique.


    "That brat cultivates the Dao of Wind Lightning," Gu Chaozhi murmured as he glanced toward Zhao Feng, but the latter kept on cultivating as if no one was there.


    In reality, Zhao Feng also still had the bones of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion, but this wasn''t a good time to take them out.


    A couple days soon passed, and Zhao Feng had absorbed the majority of the three items. His speed was outstanding. The Core Center in his body expanded a little bit; he was a bit closer to the late stage of the Small Origin Core Realm.


    When I finish absorbing the bones, I''ll be able to reach the late stage of the Small Origin Core Realm, Zhao Feng couldn''t help but think. Of course, the scorpionman King had the Crystal Core of a King Purple Wind Lightning Lion, which was even more valuable. If he was able to obtain it, Zhao Feng would be able to break through to the Great Origin Core Realm.


    "Get ready to attack." Gu Chaozhi slowly stood up, and his spear glittered with snakes of lightning.


    Nan Gongsheng stood up as well.


    This time, the three forces created a formation and used an array that could utilize their advantage in numbers to the fullest.


    "Anger of the Evil God!" The snakeman priest snickered coldly as he waved his staff and created a wicked purple-and-blood-colored haze that covered the area.


    However, everyone was ready for this. With the help of the array, the power of the Evil God Crystal was reduced dramatically.


    At the same time, Nan Gongsheng and Gu Chaozhi attacked.


    "Lightning Burst!" Gu Chaozhi''s Earth-grade spear shot out from his hand and spat out a beam of lightning that exploded on the Evil God''s Altar. For an instant, the entire altar started to shake.


    Gu Chaozhi had thrown out his spear, and a ball of lightning condensed on its tip before exploding. This move was the same as using his weapon as a bomb, and it had stunning power.


    Crack!


    Cracks started to appear on the Evil God''s Altar.


    After using his technique, Gu Chaozhi glanced smugly toward Nan Gongsheng, but he jumped up in fright by what he saw.

 798 Thieving Cat taking Charge

    Chapter 798 - Thieving Cat taking Charge


    Right as everyone was stunned by Hu Chaozhi''s powerful Lightning Burst:


    "Qiankun Sword!"


    A brilliant glow of light was released from Nan Gongsheng''s body as a sword slashed through the air and shook Heaven and Earth. This sword seemed to flip the heavens, and it was filled with a dominating Intent. Everything in front of the Qiankun Sword seemed to shatter.


    Shu~~


    This sword covered the entire black field and split the purple-and-blood-colored light into nothingness.


    Crack! Boom~~~~!


    The stable underground city shook, and this was under the Divine Illusion Dimension''s power suppression.


    The borders of the Evil God''s Altar turned into dust.


    "Inheritance Sacred weapon¡­! Those are usually Heaven-grade!" the snakeman priest exclaimed.


    "The Qiankun Sword! That''s the lost Inheritance Sacred weapon of the continent zone!" Gu Chaozhi was also dazed. The damage from the sword attack just now was comparable to the Lightning Burst, but the Intent contained was more unique. One could easily tell whose attack was stronger.


    As expected of an Inheritance Sacred sword that''s on par with the Sky Locking Bow. Zhao Feng admired and sighed in his heart.


    The Sky Locking Bow and the Qiankun Sword both came from the Demigod Forgotten Garden, and the Demigod Kun Yun had reached the peak of this world when he was at his strongest. The weapons he collected were extremely rare.


    "Fucking humans¡­!" The snakeman priest felt the altar start to crumble, and he quickly waved his staff to communicate with the Evil God Crystal in an attempt to consolidate it. However, facing the continuous attacks of Nan Gongsheng and Gu Chaozhi, the Evil God''s Altar would be unable to last very long.


    "Come out!" The snakeman priest gritted his teeth and slammed his staff onto the ground.


    Crack!


    A whirlpool appeared in the blood pond.


    Peng!


    A wicked scorpion with red eyes charged out of the whirlpool. It was similar to the scorpionman King from before, and it radiated a bloodthirsty aura.


    Peng! Bam! Boom!


    The field underneath the Evil God''s Altar shook again, as if unable to withstand the powerful strength.


    "Watch out!" Old Fei roared. The dark red scorpion''s aura was several times stronger than the scorpionman King.


    Bam! Bam!


    Nan Gongsheng and Gu Chaozhi were pushed away by a purple-and-blood-colored whirlwind created by the dark red scorpion.


    "The scorpionman King has evolved with the help of the Evil God Crystal, and its battle-power has reached the Peak-tier King level. Apart from its soul and Intent, its other aspects are all comparable to an Emperor¡­."


    Zhao Feng and company, who were further back, felt a strong and chaotic aura.


    Every time the dark red scorpion moved, purple-and-blood-colored lights would turn into whirlwinds and rip everything into shreds.


    Nan Gongsheng and Gu Chaozhi had to team up just to barely withstand them. If this dark red scorpion charged into the group, the result would be unimaginable.


    "Split into two groups and attack it!" Old Fei directed from behind and split the geniuses into two groups. One was responsible for restraining the dark red scorpion, while the other group continued attacking the Evil God''s Altar.


    "Qiankun Void Space Slash!" Nan Gongsheng appeared in the air above the dark red scorpion and slashed out a spatial crack that was half a yard wide and more than a dozen yards long, ripping everything nearby into shreds. This spatial technique became terrifying with the addition of the Qiankun Sword.


    Crack!


    The dark red scorpion''s carapace was instantly torn apart, creating a gash that reached the organs and bones. A screech resounded across the sky, and the field shook.


    Whoosh!


    Nan Gongsheng disappeared and dodged the crazy counterattack from the dark red scorpion, attacking it again from the side.


    "Lightning Burst!" Another Earth-grade spear appeared in Gu Chaozhi''s hand, and he used this chance to send it right into the dark red scorpion''s mouth and make it explode.


    Boom~~~~!


    The dark red scorpion''s face and mouth were almost completely ripped apart from the explosion.


    Of course, every time Gu Chaozhi used this attack, it would cost him a weapon, but the advantage was that it didn''t require as much energy as Nan Gongsheng using the Qiankun Sword.


    Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Boom!


    At the same time, the attacks from the three forces rained down on the dark red scorpion, which was now severely injured. There were signs of fear in its eyes; it could do nothing against Nan Gongsheng''s spatial ability, and the Qiankun Sword was extremely powerful. Furthermore, Nan Gongsheng was a rare Space-related Domain-level King.


    As time passed, the dark red scorpion was covered in injuries. Although its defense was strong, it was simply unable to withstand the spatial attacks from the Qiankun Sword.


    Seeing this, the priest''s expression became grim. Because the Evil God''s Altar had been damaged, he received 20% less power from the Evil God Crystal''s power compared to before. Furthermore, the three forces had formed a strong formation, they were using stronger methods, and they were also more resilient against the Evil God Crystal. No matter how strong he was, he couldn''t stop them all.


    As the scorpion was about to be defeated by the three forces, panic finally appeared on the priest''s face.


    "Evil God Tide!" the priest roared as he threw the staff into the blood pond, and the Evil God Pearl on top of the silver beam released a rain of purple-and-blood-colored light that unleashed a force that surpassed the Void God Realm.


    Huu~~


    The purple-and-blood-colored light instantly interacted with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and creamed a storm. Because it was messing with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, the three forces started to panic and become uneasy.


    The experts of the three forces almost lost control of their True Force or True Yuan. At this moment, panic broke out. Only a small number of people that were at least half-step Kings could stabilize their True Yuan. Even the two Kings'' attacks momentarily stopped.


    However, because the scorpion''s physical strength was so strong, it was still able to threaten Void God Realm Kings with its claws even though the Yuan Qi was being disrupted.


    Those with strong bodies won''t be affected by this storm. Zhao Feng was stable as Mount Tai.


    The priest''s Evil God Tide disrupted the local Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and greatly affected True Force and True Yuan, and it also restricted the use of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. However, those that cultivated body-strengthening techniques weren''t affected.


    In the past, the Demigod Kun Yun used his Demigod Sacred Body to crush everything standing in his path.


    "Even if the priest does this, it won''t turn the tide." Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed.


    At the moment, Zhao Feng was only a side character in the underground city. Apart from controlling the scorpionmen queen, he hadn''t used any of his true strength because nothing was attractive enough for him to do so.


    "Don''t let him run¡­!" Old Fei seemed to suddenly realize something and exclaimed. As soon as he said this, the snakeman priest ran away under the cover of the Evil God Tide.


    The priest had already seen defeat coming, so he decided to save himself. The Evil God Tide made the human experts unable to circulate their True Yuan the way they wanted, but since he had the staff, he was unaffected by the Evil God Tide.


    "Where do you think you''re going!?" Nan Gongsheng turned into a streak of silver light and sped after the snakeman priest.


    Spatial abilities were a rare power, and they weren''t affected by the Evil God Tide very much. Furthermore, the priest was unable to fully use the power of the Evil God Tide because of the earlier damage.


    However, even then, Nan Gongsheng''s speed was much slower, and he could barely chase after him.


    More than a dozen breaths later, Nan Gongsheng exited the black field ¨C and the range of the Evil God Tide.


    "Die!" Nan Gongsheng slashed out a spatial ripple that sent the snakeman priest flying.


    The snakeman priest screamed as his blood spurted out. The staff he was holding also fell out of his hands.


    Miao miao!


    A dark silver streak of light flashed by, and a little silver-gray cat appeared. The little cat was extremely agile as it grabbed the staff.


    "Hmm!?" Nan Gongsheng was shocked by the little cat''s appearance.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat gripped this staff with a purple-and-blood-colored treasure stone and smiled at Nan Gongsheng.


    "Give me my Evil God Staff back!" the snakeman priest roared.


    Bang!


    The little thieving cat waved the staff and smashed it onto the snakeman priest''s head, then disappeared. The snakeman priest cried as his head started to swell; he was dazed and confused.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat grabbed the staff and disappeared right in front of the snakeman priest and Nan Gongsheng.


    "Could it be¡­!?" Nan Gongsheng''s body shook, but he quickly used a spatial slash to split the dazed snakeman priest in two.


    A while later:


    Miao miao miao!


    A little cat holding a staff appeared and danced around on the Evil God''s Altar, as if it was a priest. The elites of the three forces all had weird expressions.


    At this moment, the Evil God Tide still hadn''t fully calmed down.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat''s eyes spun as it waved the staff in its paw, and the Evil God Tide instantly faded away.


    "That seems to be¡­ Zhao Feng''s pet!" a Central disciple from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan couldn''t help but say.


    "Did the priest take over the cat''s body? It can communicate with the Evil God Crystal!"


    The elites of the three forces were stunned, and the wicked power of the Evil God Crystal faded away.


    Whoosh!


    At the same time, the scorpion turned back into a scorpionman and ran into a pathway, but no one cared about it. Everyone focused on the little cat on the altar.


    "Zhao Feng, your cat¡­ how did it become the new priest of the Evil God''s Altar?" Old Fei''s eyes bulged out. Even Kong Feiling and company looked at Zhao Feng, the owner of that strange cat, in shock.

 799 Invisible Force

    Chapter 799 - Invisible Force


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat, who was only slightly bigger than a palm, waved the Evil God Staff around while it danced, as if it was a priest.


    At this moment, no one dared to ignore it because it had the ability to communicate with the Evil God Crystal as well. In fact, it was even better at communicating with it than the snakeman priest.


    The leaders of the three forces ¨C Gu Chaozhi, the youth in purple robes, Kong Feiling, as well as Old Fei ¨C were acting as if they had been choked. This was especially true for Gu Chaozhi and the purple-robed youth; they didn''t really understand what happened, and they didn''t want a new priest to appear right after they killed the old one.


    "Zhao Feng!" The elites from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan all gazed at the handsome youth because he was the owner of the cat.


    "Zhao Feng, so it really is you¡­." Not far away, Nan Gongsheng revealed a solemn and complex expression. After seeing the little thieving cat, Nan Gongsheng was 80-90% certain that this Zhao Feng was the same one he knew, but he didn''t know how Zhao Feng ended up like this.


    "Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng know each other?" The disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan felt incredulous. One had to know that Nan Gongsheng came from the far away Cang Ocean, and he was a Core disciple of a three-star power. From the looks of it, Nan Gongsheng even seemed to be wary of Zhao Feng.


    "I never said I wasn''t." Zhao Feng smiled faintly, and Nan Gongsheng paused. He remembered what Zhao Feng had said back at the territory of the scorpionmen; "Relationship? My name is Zhao Feng." Zhao Feng didn''t deny anything or suggest that he wasn''t the same one he knew.


    "What¡­ what''s going on?" The elites of the three forces didn''t really understand, and the disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan were stunned.


    "This Zhao Feng¡­" Kong Feiling, Liu Tianfan, Huang Yunhu, and company kept their eyes on Zhao Feng. They felt that this youth was covered in a mysterious mist.


    Ta! Ta!


    Zhao Feng walked slowly toward the Evil God''s Altar. The Evil God''s Altar had already been broken into pieces, but the blood pond at the center wasn''t damaged.


    "Zhao Feng¡­" Nan Gongsheng looked at the back of that youth and was about to say something, but he stopped. He was filled with questions; back in the Cang Ocean, the name of the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor had spread throughout the three Sacred Lands, and the Pursuit of Death had become a legend.


    The Emperor of Death was one of the most ancient Emperors that even Sacred Lords didn''t want to offend for no reason. After learning about the details, the Mystic Light Realm Grand Elder of the Mystic True Sacred Clan was stunned; he didn''t expect his clan to produce such a talented person.


    If the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor was still in the Cang Ocean, even Sacred Lords would be respectful to him.


    Zhao Feng didn''t stop. He kept walking toward the blood pond.


    Plop!


    Zhao Feng jumped into the blood pond under the Evil God Crystal.


    Di! Da!


    The faint purple-and-blood-colored pond washed over Zhao Feng''s body, but it didn''t erode him with its wicked power.


    "This blood pond not only contains the power of pure blood essence, it also has the power of the Evil God Crystal itself."


    Zhao Feng lay in the blood pond as if he was enjoying it. Because the little thieving cat had the Evil God Staff and could connect to the power of the Evil God Crystal, Zhao Feng wasn''t eroded by the wicked power. If this wasn''t the case, anyone at the Small Origin Core Realm would be dissolved upon entering the blood pond.


    Zhao Feng circulated his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body to absorb the essence of the God Crystal from the pond to strengthen his body. The bloody liquid had a high compatibility with humans. Furthermore, the power could also increase his True Yuan cultivation.


    Zhao Feng had already thought about the crystal earlier. Although the Evil God Crystal was valuable, he couldn''t use it.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Nan Gongsheng and Gu Chaozhi, the two King geniuses, landed next to the blood pond. Gu Chaozhi glanced at Zhao Feng in the blood pond, then at Nan Gongsheng, as if asking him what to do. In terms of strength, Nan Gongsheng was slightly stronger than him, but from the looks of it, Nan Gongsheng was actually cautious of that Small Origin Core Realm youth.


    "Zhao Feng, what do you plan on doing with the Evil God Crystal?" Nan Gongsheng finally spoke.


    Hearing that, everyone from the three forces, including Gu Chaozhi, felt their heart shake.


    Nan Gongsheng was definitely the strongest amongst everyone present. His spatial talent, his secret techniques, and his Inheritance Sacred weapon ¨C the Qiankun Sword ¨C left a deep impression in their hearts. However, this same Nan Gongsheng asked what Zhao Feng thought about how to split the Evil God Crystal?


    "The blood pond is mine. The Evil God Crystal isn''t of much use to me currently, but if anyone can bring me the Crystal Core of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion that the scorpionman King carries around with him, I will do my best to help them get the Evil God Crystal," Zhao Feng said slowly.


    He had decided to give up the Evil God Crystal after thinking about it.


    Firstly, the Evil God Crystal was too valuable. It was a genuine God Crystal, so it would attract too much attention. As of right now, Zhao Feng''s strength was only comparable to some Kings, which was only enough to protect his life. He didn''t want everyone to attack him.


    Secondly, the power of the Evil God Crystal was too profound, so he couldn''t absorb it in the short term anyway.


    On top of that, the Evil God Crystal was really hard to obtain. Zhao Feng had tried to scan it with the God''s Spiritual Eye when he entered the Evil God''s Altar, but the Evil God Crystal had a strong resistive force around it.


    However, the most important point was that the power of the Evil God Crystal wasn''t pure. It had been corrupted, and it had a wicked consciousness.


    On the other hand, there was some energy of the Evil God Crystal in the blood pond that could be absorbed immediately, which could raise Zhao Feng''s current strength.


    This Zhao Feng is smart; he took the most useful blood pond with just one sentence while giving away the Evil God Crystal that attracts the most attention. Old Fei''s eyes twinkled.


    No one dared to fight Zhao Feng for the blood pond. After all, his cat had replaced the snakeman as the new priest, so it could connect to the power of the Evil God Crystal. Furthermore, Nan Gongsheng''s wary and respectful attitude toward Zhao Feng made others think of Zhao Feng as someone mysterious.


    "Okay." Nan Gongsheng was the first to agree. He cultivated the Dao of Space, not body-strengthening, so the blood pond wasn''t very attractive to him anyway.


    Gu Chaozhi and the elites of the Earth Spirit Hall were dissatisfied.


    "Senior Martial Brother Gu, are we going to give the blood pond to him just like that?" several Core disciples behind asked with unwillingness.


    Gu Chaozhi''s eyes scanned across Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, and he stayed silent. Based on the current situation, Nan Gongsheng was on Zhao Feng''s side, and the little thieving cat had become the new priest of the Evil God''s Altar.


    "This Friend, do you keep your promises? Anyone that gives you the Crystal Core of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion can get the Evil God Crystal?" A half-step King with a white beard from the Earth Spirit Hall looked at Zhao Feng in the blood pond with twinkling eyes.


    "Of course. I won''t stop anyone from trying to take the Evil God Crystal away. However, I can''t guarantee that they will be able to get the Evil God Crystal. I can only try my best to assist," Zhao Feng replied.


    Hearing that, several people from the three forces tried to take the Evil God Crystal away, but all of them failed and were counterattacked by the Evil God Crystal.


    Wah!


    The half-step King with a white beard immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and several others were also injured. The unluckiest person was sent flying by the Evil God Crystal and immediately fainted.


    The Evil God Crystal wasn''t a normal God Crystal. Apparently, it was formed from the divine power of an Evil God and now had a wicked consciousness that attacked anyone from the outside world that tried to interact with it.


    The staff in the little thieving cat''s paws had a purple-and-blood-colored treasure stone that was actually a peak-grade Primal Crystal Stone that had been refined by the Evil God Crystal and then crafted into the staff with a unique method that could connect to the Evil God Crystal.


    Di! Da!


    Zhao Feng lay in the blood pond and used the power of the God Crystal to refine his body and increase his cultivation.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Dark Lightning Wood, the Dim Wind Bamboo, the Five Balance Water Spirit Grass, and some other items appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    In the blink of an eye, the majority of a day passed. In this period of time, many elites of the three forces had tried to take the Evil God Crystal away, but none of them succeeded.


    Nan Gongsheng just sat there without trying. He had already tried to take it away when he arrived, so he had already experienced the Evil God Crystal''s counterattack.


    Gu Chaozhi sent people from the Earth Spirit Hall to find the tracks of the scorpionman King.


    "Zhao Feng, I will go get the Crystal Core of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion." Nan Gongsheng stood up. He had finally recovered his Yuan Qi, and he immediately disappeared from the Evil God''s Altar with a flash.


    "Senior Martial Brother Gu, that Nan Gongsheng has left. Now is the perfect chance to deal with that brat," a Core disciple form the Earth Spirit Hall suggested.


    Gu Chaozhi stood motionless and gave a deep glance toward Zhao Feng in the blood pond.


    "Senior Martial Brother Gu, I wouldn''t be your match in a one-on-one fight." Zhao Feng smiled and looked at him.


    That made Gu Chaozhi''s face twitch, and the disciples of the three forces all had weird expressions. What kind of opponent purposely admitted that they weren''t the enemy''s match? However, the more Zhao Feng acted like that, the more uneasy Gu Chaozhi became, and thinking about how Nan Gongsheng was so wary and even slightly respectful toward this youth, he wasn''t confident.


    "Go. Let''s go find the scorpionman King," Gu Chaozhi ordered and led a group of people to find the scorpionman King. There were more resources than just the Evil God Crystal, and there were many places that they hadn''t been yet.


    Di! Da!


    Zhao Feng lay in the blood pond and couldn''t help but shake his head. What he said was the truth. He didn''t lie to Gu Chaozhi; as of right now, Zhao Feng''s soul-strength was the only thing that was comparable to a Void God Realm King. It would be easy to deal with anyone below the Void God Realm, but Gu Chaozhi was a King that was on the Imperial Genius rankings, and his battle-power surpassed normal Kings. In a true one-on-one fight, Zhao Feng might have the ability to protect himself, but there was only a small chance of winning.


    His cultivation was rising as he lay in the blood pond. When he finished using the Dark Lightning Wood, the Dim Wind Bamboo, and the Five Balance Water Spirit Grass, his cultivation was almost at the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm.


    The power of the God Crystal and the essence of the blood pond helped his Sacred Lightning Body and his cultivation a lot.


    At the same moment, some members of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan murmured with dissatisfaction.


    "That Zhao Feng is keeping the entire blood pond for himself. Selfish!"


    "He has the ability but isn''t helping us take the Evil God Crystal¡­."


    The disciples and elites were extremely dissatisfied and decided to go talk to Zhao Feng.

 800 Improvement in the Sacred Lightning Body

    Chapter 800 - Improvement in the Sacred Lightning Body


    "Zhao Feng!"


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao!"


    Some disciples and older elites of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan started to gather toward the blood pond angrily. Kong Feiling and Old Fei were among them, and they had helpless expressions. Based on Zhao Feng''s actions earlier, it was obvious that Zhao Feng wouldn''t give away what belonged to him so easily, and even Nan Gongsheng and Gu Chaozhi were wary of him.


    Di! Da!


    Zhao Feng lay lazily in the blood pond and glanced at these members of the same clan.


    "Zhao Feng, this old man admires your strength, but no one feels well about you taking the blood pond by yourself or giving the Evil God Crystal away. If this reaches the upper echelon of the clan¡­." Old Fei''s tone was respectful while also revealing their intentions.


    "That''s right, you are a member of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, how can you be this selfish?"


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, are you not scared of the upper echelon punishing you?"


    Some disciples and older elites warned to show their dissatisfaction.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng''s expression went cold. "You really think I''d be scared of the upper echelon of a two-star clan?"


    Everyone paused, and the ones threatening him with the upper echelon of the clan felt like they had been choked.


    The hearts of Old Fei and Kong Feiling shook. Could it be that Zhao Feng wasn''t scared of the upper echelon of the clan? Did he even put them in his eyes? Seeing Zhao Feng''s composed expression, Old Fei and Kong Feiling both felt like he wasn''t simply being arrogant. Even Nan Gongsheng, a super genius of a three-star power, was respectful and wary of Zhao Feng.


    Apart from that, Zhao Feng was also admired by Duke Nanfeng, who even owed Zhao Feng a favor. Apparently, Zhao Feng had even declined the title of Marquis. If he was willing, Zhao Feng could just leave the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and join the Duke''s Palace, and he could even enter the circle of the imperials.


    "This Zhao Feng is immeasurable. He does have the right to be arrogant." Old Fei''s eyes twinkled. At the moment, they didn''t want to fight with Zhao Feng.


    "This blood pond is my spoils of war. Without my cat communicating with the Evil God Crystal, it would be useless," Zhao Feng said. This was his spoils of war. If he was willing to split it, that was him being generous, but there was nothing wrong if he didn''t give any away.


    "Then what about the Evil God Crystal? That''s a God Crystal! That''s something that belongs to the domain of Gods," a youth said coldly, and his question reflected what everyone else thought.


    They were all awaiting Zhao Feng''s reply, and he didn''t want to cause trouble with the clan at the moment.


    "The Evil God Crystal isn''t something that we can have." Zhao Feng shook his head.


    A light flashed in Old Fei''s eyes as he stopped the disciples who were about to debate with Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng is right. The Evil God Crystal will attract too much attention, and it''s useless to us anyway. It will only bring disaster." Old Fei agreed with and admired how Zhao Feng gave up the Evil God Crystal. Zhao Feng didn''t have the greatest strength, so he used the Evil God Crystal to make Nan Gongsheng and Gu Chaozhi work for him.


    "I can give you ten bathtubs of the liquid from the blood pond," Zhao Feng said after thinking for a while.


    The power of this liquid was strong, but it had one major flaw ¨C it contained the wicked power of the Evil God Crystal, which had a strong eroding force.


    "Okay." Old Fei let out a breath.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan soon filled up ten bathtubs of liquid from the blood pond, but it wasn''t even one tenth of the total amount. On top of that, they needed to refine it with a certain method before being able to use it, unlike Zhao Feng who had the little thieving cat communicating with the Evil God Crystal. Zhao Feng could even use a small amount of the wicked power to refine his body.


    For the next couple days, Zhao Feng lay in the blood pond and focused on cultivating.


    The blood pond was formed from the blood essence of the strongest races in the underground city, fused with the power of the Evil God Crystal. This blood was the source of the Evil God''s Altar, and it could strengthen other beings.


    Zhao Feng circulated his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and his Sacred Lightning Body to absorb the energy to the fullest.


    In this period of time, Nan Gongsheng and those from the Earth Spirit Hall were all trying to find the scorpionman King, but the landscape of the underground city was too complex. If the scorpionman King focused on hiding, it would be hard to find him.


    The Purple Sun Palace and the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan focused on scouring the resources remaining in the underground city. What surprised them was that, after the little thieving cat became the priest, some species came to it and gave it offerings.


    Zhao Feng gave all the troublesome tasks to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Afterward, the little thieving cat, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, the Purple Sun Palace, and the Earth Spirit Hall started to conquer the nearby species.


    It went much more smoothly than expected. They were all extremely wary and respectful of the "Evil God''s priest," and some races that were even stronger than the scorpionmen didn''t dare to attack. When the little thieving cat displayed the miracles of the Evil God, these races all became obedient.


    "The power of the Evil God Crystal isn''t this simple," Zhao Feng murmured.


    He knew a lot from the scorpionmen queen. There had been people who tried to resist the Evil God''s Altar in the past, but they were killed by the underground flames or natural disasters such as earthquakes.


    The little thieving cat told Zhao Feng that the priest truly did have the ability to change the climate underground, but it required a lot of the priest''s energy, so it wasn''t something that could be done casually.


    In the blink of an eye, five days passed. Zhao Feng finally broke through to the late-stage Small Origin Core Realm with the help of the Wind Lightning bones and the blood pond. The core in his body had become bigger, and it already showed signs of crystallizing.


    His improvements fell into the eyes of the other disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and they were all envious.


    Is Zhao Feng not scared that his foundation will be unstable? Old Fei couldn''t help but think.


    Reality proved that Zhao Feng''s foundation was extremely strong. Due to him cultivating the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Sacred Lightning Body at the same time, his foundation was much better than other geniuses of the same cultivation.


    After making this small breakthrough, Zhao Feng started focusing on the Sacred Lightning Body. Over the past few days, with the help of the blood pond, his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was approaching the late stages of the fourth level.


    Once my Sacred Lightning Body reaches the late stage of the fourth level, my physical body strength alone will be able to crush Small Origin Core Realms and Great Origin Core Realms alike. No one below the half-step King level will be my match.


    Zhao Feng was filled with joy, and he was looking forward to it.


    What made him even happier was that the underground city species were sending their offerings. Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat received 40% of the cut while the Earth Spirit Hall, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and the Purple Sun Palace split the remaining 60%.


    Nan Gongsheng and Gu Chaozhi were still focused on finding the location of the scorpionman King.


    Today, Zhao Feng took out the Dark Dragon Teeth Grass and some other treasures that were useful for body-strengthening in order to attempt a breakthrough to the late stages of the fourth level. Some of them came from the scorpionmen resource chamber and some were from the offerings.


    "This should be it¡­." Zhao Feng soaked in the blood pond as a metallic silver-blue light glowed around him.


    Within the blood pond, an invisible physical force appeared and started becoming stronger. Everyone close to him felt their bodies became heavy.


    Eventually, the physical force boomed as it broke through. The nearby disciples felt their blood boil, and they almost spat out blood.


    The place where Zhao Feng was lying hummed with wind and lightning, like waves crashing onto the shore.


    I can kill a Small Origin Core Realm with just one punch with nothing more than my physical strength.


    Zhao Feng felt the power running through his body, and this force created a dominating Intent.


    The Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body didn''t just train his body; when it reached a certain degree, it could also strengthen his Intent and even fuse into it. At that point in time, the soul wouldn''t be his weakness like the Demigod Kun Yun.


    The Demigod Kun Yun had reached the same step at his peak and managed to learn Revival from Blood, a supreme technique, but he ended up dying in the God Tribulation because of his weak soul.


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body had reached the late stages of the fourth level. The fifth level was comparable to the Void God Realm, the sixth to the Mystic Light Realm, and the seventh would be the body of a Demigod. However, the Sacred Lightning Body was better than the original Golden Kun Sacred Body ¨C it had an eighth level. There was even a theoretical ninth level.


    The greater heights and better future were what motivated Zhao Feng to re-cultivate. Even if he hadn''t been hit by the Cursed Words of Death, he would''ve chosen to re-cultivate.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath and slowly stood up from the blood pond. There were wary and respectful gazes from those nearby.


    "Zhao Feng, this is a rare Dark Soul Stone. It is a precious Death-elemental Soul treasure." Old Fei took out two black jade-like stones, which gave off a cold Soul undulation. Weak people weren''t even able to approach them.


    "Soul Dao treasure? Good, very good!" Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    Zhao Feng could choose which offerings he wanted, so he said that he wanted Soul Dao treasures, which could help him recover his soul-strength.


    With enough Soul Dao treasures, I can reawaken my Emperor Intent.


    Zhao Feng was full of expectations.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng''s Emperor Intent contained the Intent of God Tribulation Lightning. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been able to chase after the Emperor of Death, who specialized in the Dao of the Soul and the Dao of Death.


    Once his Emperor Intent reawakened, Zhao Feng''s strength would increase by leaps and bounds. However, Soul Dao treasures were extremely rare, and it wasn''t a good choice to try to mine them manually.


    Whoosh!


    A silver streak of light flashed through the air and landed in front of Zhao Feng.


    The newcomer was Nan Gongsheng.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ve slain the scorpionman King and acquired the Crystal Core of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion King."


    Nan Gongsheng''s breathing was rapid.

 801 Taking the Evil God Crystal

    Chapter 801 - Taking the Evil God Crystal


    "You''ve got the Crystal Core?" Zhao Feng''s eyes lit up.


    Nan Gongsheng took out a dark purple Crystal Core about the size of an egg.


    "That''s it." Zhao Feng took the Crystal Core and nodded his head.


    The eyes of the elites from the three forces were filled with envy as they looked at the Crystal Core. Although it was small, it contained a True Yuan dimension and was comparable to the Crystal Core of a human Void God Realm King.


    Most importantly, this Crystal Core was of the Wind and Lightning elements, which was extremely compatible with Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. With this Crystal Core, Zhao Feng''s cultivation would be able to increase rapidly. The only weakness was that it didn''t also have the element of Water, otherwise Zhao Feng would be able to become stronger instantly.


    "Nan Gongsheng, I will do as I promised and help you try to get the Evil God Crystal," Zhao Feng said.


    Nan Gongsheng nodded his head. He had made deals with Zhao Feng before, so he believed in Zhao Feng''s word.


    The two walked next to the blood pond and glanced at the Evil God Crystal on the silver beam. The Evil God Crystal glittered with a blood-colored light and radiated a wicked power of temptation.


    "Nan Gongsheng, I need to tell you a few things before we start," Zhao Feng said.


    "What?" Nan Gongsheng stared at the Evil God Crystal without hiding the fire in his eyes.


    The Evil God Crystal wasn''t a substandard God Crystal; it truly contained the power of Gods.


    The only difference was that the Evil God Crystal had a wicked consciousness that had the ability to affect the physical world.


    Zhao Feng warned, "Firstly, it will be very risky trying to take the Evil God Crystal. Secondly, the power of the God Crystal is too profound, so it can physically affect the world. Its wicked consciousness is also not be underestimated¡­."


    Nan Gongsheng knew the first point very clearly, and the second point made him think. Even if he did get the Evil God Crystal, he might be twisted by its wicked power.


    At this moment, Gu Chaozhi from the Earth Spirit Hall arrived.


    Nan Gongsheng got the Crystal Core first, but it''s not like I don''t have a chance. Gu Chaozhi watched from a corner. He heard what they said. It was obvious that the Evil God Crystal wasn''t something normal people could obtain. In his current state, even Zhao Feng didn''t want it.


    "I''ve made my decision." Nan Gongsheng took a deep breath as decisiveness filled his eyes.


    Zhao Feng wasn''t surprised by this decision; he saw the willpower and the desire for power in Nan Gongsheng''s eyes.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve surpassed me by too much; I can only look up to your legend. The Evil God Crystal will be able to change my destiny." Battle-intent surged from Nan Gongsheng''s eyes.


    He had complex emotions regarding Zhao Feng. They were both part of the same generation, but only one of them had reached the peak of the Cang Ocean and became an unparalleled Emperor that even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords were wary of.


    Hearing those words, the bodies of Gu Chaozhi, Kong Feiling, the purple-robed youth, and the others shook.


    "That Zhao Feng¡­ what kind of existence is he?"


    "Even someone as strong as Nan Gongsheng said that he can only look up to his legend?"


    Everyone''s heart shook. The strength Nan Gongsheng displayed was enough to enter the top one hundred of the Imperial Genius rankings, and a prodigy like that said he could only look up to Zhao Feng? At this moment, the handsome youth next to the blood pond was shrouded in mystery.


    "How¡­ how is that possible?" Old Fei, Kong Feiling, Huang Yunhu, and company from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan were dazed.


    Cold sweat appeared on Gu Chaozhi''s forehead. He felt that this Zhao Feng was too mysterious and terrifying, and he couldn''t help but feel lucky that he didn''t attack Zhao Feng before.


    "I can only promise to do my best to try to get the Evil God Crystal for you." Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, I believe you. I even heard that you were the one that revived the Demigod Kun Yun," Nan Gongsheng said in a probing tone.


    "What? Demigod Kun Yun? He''s come out already?" This time, it was Zhao Feng''s turn to be surprised.


    Nan Gongsheng nodded his head. "The Demigod Kun Yun has revived, and he made a deal with the True Martial Sacred Land; he is now in control of the Demigod Forgotten Garden."


    He wanted to test Zhao Feng. After all, it was only a rumor that the Demigod Kun Yun had been revived. Zhao Feng didn''t deny anything.


    "Demigod!"


    The disciples and elites of the three forces couldn''t help but take in cold breaths. According to those words, Zhao Feng had revived a Demigod. How shocking was that?


    "Demigod Kun Yun!?" Old Fei was stunned. He seemed to know some more information about the Demigod Kun Yun.


    Demigods had only appeared in three-star and four-star forces before. Back then, Demigod Kun Yun was incredibly strong. His name was known even among four-star forces. A legend like this had been revived by Zhao Feng?


    Zhao Feng then talked with Nan Gongsheng with his Divine Sense.


    Zhao Feng learned that the Demigod Kun Yun had entered the Demigod Forgotten Garden through some special method and connected with the remnant Demigod Intent in there. In this situation, even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords would be unable to enter by force.


    Of course, the Demigod Kun Yun was still resting, and he would take a while to recover his peak strength.


    Zhao Feng let out a breath after he heard this. At the moment, the child Demigod definitely wouldn''t know that Zhao Feng was re-cultivating, so he would still be on guard against the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor.


    In the blood pond next to the Evil God''s Altar:


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly waved the staff in its paws, and the Evil God Crystal on the silver beam released a wicked purple-and-blood-colored glow.


    "You can do it."


    Zhao Feng was about to use his Magnificent Power, but he gave up as he remembered that Nan Gongsheng specialized in Space.


    Whoosh!


    Nan Gongsheng waved his hand, and a silver light formed a whirlpool that sucked away the liquid in the blood pond. It was required later in the process, and Nan Gongsheng would give it to Zhao Feng afterward.


    "We''ve finished the first step." Zhao Feng smiled and nodded.


    The reason they took away the blood pond was so they could isolate the Evil God Crystal.


    They also needed the little thieving cat, who was currently the Evil God''s priest, to communicate with the Evil God Crystal, or else the Evil God Crystal would be able to cause a lot of trouble with the blood pond.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng utterly destroyed the altar; smoke and dust blew everywhere. The Evil God Crystal floated in the air, and its wicked power became weaker.


    At this instant, the disciples and elites of the Earth Spirit Hall, Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and Purple Sun Palace were all watching closely. If there was a chance, they didn''t mind interfering, but at the moment, none of them dared to interrupt the combination of Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and the little thieving cat. Zhao Feng was especially mysterious; Gu Chaozhi and company felt that he was unfathomable.


    "This is the critical step." Zhao Feng''s expression became solemn.


    He needed to bind and take the Evil God Crystal. This step was the most dangerous because any power that held "enmity" toward the Evil God Crystal would be counterattacked. The only advantage they had was that the little thieving cat was in control of the Evil God Staff and had the ability to communicate with the Evil God Crystal.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and said that it couldn''t stop the Evil God Crystal from counterattacking ¨C it could only limit its attacks.


    "Come!" Nan Gongsheng suddenly opened his palm, and a whirlpool of silver started to slowly expand. A mysterious power started pulling the Evil God Crystal.


    Weng~~


    The Evil God Crystal suddenly released a wicked purple-and-blood-colored light that swept toward Nan Gongsheng.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the staff, but that only weakened and slowed the counterattack of the Evil God Crystal by a little bit.


    "Eye of Ice Soul!" Zhao Feng''s dreamy purple left eye suddenly gave off a freezing blue light, and his hair suddenly became purple.


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Feng had hidden such a powerful eye-bloodline!"


    The disciples of the three forces were stunned as freezing cold power covered the Evil God Crystal.


    Under normal situations of such intense cold, the Evil God Crystal would shatter, but Zhao Feng''s Eye of Ice Soul only froze the soul. It didn''t freeze the Evil God Crystal itself, only the wicked consciousness inside it. Its wicked consciousness was just another type of mental energy.


    Bo~~


    The Evil God Crystal radiated a purple-and-blood-colored haze that shot toward Zhao Feng, but an invisible physical force appeared around Zhao Feng.


    The power from the Evil God Crystal was extremely profound; it suppressed Yuan Qi. However, Zhao Feng''s physical strength was unique and more resilient. The strength of the Evil God Crystal''s counterattack also depended on how threatening and strong the attack was.


    Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were sent flying after resisting for a breath or two, but luckily, the little thieving cat managed to communicate with the Evil God Crystal and weaken the counterattack.


    "It''s working."


    Zhao Feng saw that a half-transparent layer of ice covered the surface of the Evil God Crystal.


    No matter how strong the God Crystal was, it was just a physical object if Zhao Feng''s Eye of Ice Soul restricted its soul. From the looks of it, the Eye of Ice Soul could counter the wicked consciousness inside the Evil God Crystal.


    Nan Gongsheng revealed a look of joy as he saw hope. He took a deep breath and flew to the Evil God Crystal, then moved both his hands. A faint silver image started to appear alongside a disturbance in space.


    This was Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain.


    Weng~


    The faint silver dimension twisted and formed a large hole. From the hole came a powerful suction force.


    "Eye of Ice Soul!"


    Zhao Feng circulated his eye-bloodline power to the maximum, and the ice on the surface of the Evil God Crystal became thicker.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly threw the staff into the silver hole. The purple-and-blood-colored treasure stone on the staff was connected to the Evil God Crystal, and the liquid from the blood pond was also in Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain.


    Under the strong suction force, the Evil God Crystal entered Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain.


    "Did it work?" Nan Gongsheng spat out a mouthful of blood as he withstood the counterattack, but his face was filled with joy.


    However, an old voice sounded at that moment:


    "Stop! You can''t take the Evil God Crystal away or else it will bring disaster to the underground city, and even the entire Divine Illusion Dimension."

 802 Rank Nine of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races

    Chapter 802 - Rank Nine of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races


    "Stop! You can''t take the Evil God Crystal away or else it will bring disaster to the underground city, and even the entire Divine Illusion Dimension," an old voice sounded from the entrance that led to the snakemen territory.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked over. They succeeded in taking the Evil God Crystal, and it was now in Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain.


    As soon as those words sounded, an old snakeman appeared. The snakeman had white hair and wrinkled skin. He had a hunched back, and it required a lot of effort for him to walk.


    Everyone revealed a weird expression when their gaze landed on the snakeman elder.


    "Hehe, old snakeman King that''s about to enter the grave, do you really think you can decide where the Evil God Crystal goes?" Zhao Feng laughed lightly.


    Hearing that, everyone broke out into discussion. It was hard to imagine that this old snakeman who couldn''t even walk properly was a Void God Realm King. Even Nan Gongsheng and Gu Chaozhi didn''t sense that immediately, but Zhao Feng did.


    "I am the previous Evil God''s priest," the snakeman elder with white hair said in a raspy voice as he gave a deep glance toward this purple-haired youth who was only at the Small Origin Core Realm. The aura of his soul had reached its end and yet Zhao Feng could still see through him.


    Gu Chaozhi and the elites of the three forces all felt their hearts shake, and they became even warier of Zhao Feng.


    If this snakeman elder with white hair was the previous priest, then he would be at the Void God Realm at the least.


    "Hmph, I won''t hand over the Evil God Crystal for any reason. What''s the life or death of the underground city got to do with me?" Nan Gongsheng was emotionless. He paid a big price to finally move the Evil God Crystal into his spatial dimension.


    "Old priest, you risked your life to come and stop us?" Gu Chaozhi was interested. Now that the Evil God Crystal was already in Nan Gongsheng''s hands, Gu Chaozhi didn''t mind some new variables.


    Nan Gongsheng''s eyebrows furrowed, but he also wanted to know more about the Evil God Crystal.


    "My lifespan has reached its limit, so it doesn''t matter if I die or not, but I must tell you something," the old priest with white hair said sadly.


    At this instant in time, Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, Gu Chaozhi, and company were silent, and they felt a sadness in their hearts. They weren''t sympathetic toward the priest ¨C they were respectful toward the laws of Death.


    Everyone knew that there was a limit to life. For example, Void God Realm Kings could usually live for several thousand years. After this amount of time passed, one''s soul and life would wither and die. Even stealing another body and re-cultivating couldn''t stop it.


    Putting aside Void God Realm Kings, even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords and Demigods could die from the passage of time. The only difference was that they had a longer lifespan. As for Zhao Feng, his lifespan hadn''t changed much after taking another body. The only thing that could help would be items similar to the Immortal Springs Wine or breaking through to a higher realm.


    Of course, ancient Emperors that specialized in the element of Death, such as the Emperor of Death, could live several times longer than others of the same cultivation.


    "You may know that there is the occasional disaster in the underground city, such as lava or the Fire of the Earth, and the Evil God Crystal can affect and stabilize this power," the old priest with white hair slowly said.


    Everyone else was dead-silent because they knew these were the last words of a dying elder. They were nice to someone who was about to die.


    "Are they not natural?" Zhao Feng suddenly realized something. He knew that every race was extremely respectful to and wary of the Evil God''s Crystal, and it was true that the Evil God''s priest had the ability to control the disasters by using the Evil God Crystal''s power.


    "That''s just the surface." The old priest with white hair took a deep breath, and his expression became solemn. "Only the priests and a small number of people know that there is actually an even bigger ''disaster'' underground."


    Bigger disaster?


    All the disciples and elites felt an unusual atmosphere. Right at this moment, everyone felt a shaking sensation from under the Evil God''s Altar.


    Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye thumped. At this instant, Kong Feiling''s and Zhao Feng''s Imperial Dao bloodlines both trembled in fear.


    What kind of aura could make Imperial Dao bloodlines tremble in fear?


    "Can you feel it?" The old priest''s face was bitter and his eyes were full of worry.


    "What¡­ what is underground?"


    The elites of the three forces felt uneasy. It was as if an aura of Destruction was slowly awakening.


    "You should know that there is a race called the Destruction Dragon Race, ranked within the top ten of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races," the old priest with white hair said.


    Destruction Dragon Race!? Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, Gu Chaozhi, and company were stunned.


    "Ranked ninth among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­ the Destruction Dragon Race!" Old Fei exclaimed as fear spread.


    "Eighth place is the Golden Crow Race, and ninth is the Destruction Dragon Race¡­."


    Everyone present came from two-star or three-star powers, so they knew a lot. Anything ranked within the top ten of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races wasn''t a joke.


    "What a joke! If it really was the Destruction Dragon Race, they could destroy the entire Divine Illusion Dimension with just a breath," a cold laugh came from a handsome youth with purple hair.


    The speaker was Zhao Feng. He knew a lot about the abilities and the battle-power of every race since he had read the Ten Thousand Ancient Races ranking book.


    In reality, the Ten Thousand Ancient Races weren''t ranked by pure battle-power. For example, the Heaven''s Legacy race weren''t strong, but their wisdom was unparalleled. They captured the Light Race to try to create a time machine, and they even had a plan to revive the Ancient Race.


    However, the Destruction Dragon Race definitely had strong battle-power.


    The eighth-ranked Golden Crow Race only had one crow remaining, and it supplied the light and warmth for the entire Fan Universe with its enormous body.


    The Destruction Dragon Race was said to be the nemesis of the Golden Crow Race. According to what Zhao Feng knew, this race lived for destruction, and their final aim was to destroy the world.


    "Old snake, how dare you trick us!?" All the disciples of the three forces let out a breath, and cold sweat appeared on Nan Gongsheng''s forehead. The legendary Destruction Dragon Race was too terrifying.


    The old priest with white hair smiled bitterly. "The true Destruction Dragon Race has become extinct, but there is a Black Destruction Serpent Dragon sealed underground that has a faint bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race."


    Hearing that, the hearts of all the present disciples shook. There was a Black Destruction Serpent Dragon underground that contained a faint bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race?


    "Back then, this Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was sealed by the Gods. Although it isn''t even at 1% of its full strength due to the passing of time, the seal has become much weaker as well." The old priest sighed.


    Boom!


    The ground under the Evil God''s Altar started to shake and become hot. The roar of a dragon that seemed to have been suppressed for countless years sounded, and flames of Destruction were waiting to destroy and engulf everything.


    The hearts of all the disciples jumped. Fear and panic spread throughout the air.


    Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng felt his God''s Spiritual Eye twitch in warning. One thing was for sure ¨C the old priest that was about to die had no reason to lie to them.


    "The disasters are all created by the Destruction Black Serpent Snake struggling, and the Evil God Crystal can calm the disasters and stabilize the seal." The old priest let out a long breath as he sat down and told them the full story.


    Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s eyes twinkled.


    "I won''t hand over the Evil God Crystal. It''s not a true Destruction Dragon sealed down there, so it isn''t unrivalled. Furthermore, it''s not even at its peak." Nan Gongsheng was very straightforward. He didn''t care about whether the underground city lived or died. All he wanted was power.


    "Old priest, you''ve come too late. We just took the Evil God Crystal away. It''ll be much too difficult to put it back," Zhao Feng shook his head and said with a sigh. He had communicated with the little thieving cat on his shoulder.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and showed that the purple-and-blood-colored treasure stone on the staff had cracks in it.


    The main reason they could take away the Evil God Crystal was because of the blood pond and the staff in Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain. Zhao Feng''s methods and Nan Gongsheng''s spatial techniques were just support. More precisely said, Nan Gongsheng hadn''t actually obtained the Evil God Crystal yet, he had only put it in another place for now. It was too late to take it back out.


    "You¡­ you¡­." The old priest was unable to speak properly and acted as if he had lost his soul. He didn''t expect them to have the ability to move the Evil God Crystal before he even arrived.


    "I''m sorry, please rest well," Zhao Feng said slightly regretfully and sympathetically.


    Wah!


    The old priest let out a breath as his life came to an end. In the very last instant, the old priest burned his soul and body, giving off an aura close to an Emperor.


    "Not good!"


    The disciples and elites all felt a powerful pressure bear down on them. Even Nan Gongsheng''s and Gu Chaozhi''s expression changed. They thought that this old priest was going to kill them.


    Only Zhao Feng stood still without panicking.


    "Everyone in the underground city, leave. Disaster¡­ is coming." The old priest''s sad voice resounded across every corner of the underground world. Before he died, he used his remaining power to tell the world.


    Zhao Feng admired him, but he murmured, "The existence of the Evil God Crystal was just slowing the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s inevitable escape."


    No matter how strong the Evil God Crystal was, it was just a Primal Crystal Stone in the end. It wasn''t even the core of the seal. All it could do was slow the serpent dragon down.


    Boom! Boom! Bam~~~~!


    Continuous shaking came from the underground world as lava started spreading in some places.


    Roar~~~~


    The roar of an enraged dragon sounded from under the ground.


    "The world shall shake in front of the Destruction races! Ancient God Xie Yang, I will devour your palace and then your domain world¡­!"

 803 Black Destruction Serpent Dragon

    Chapter 803 - Black Destruction Serpent Dragon


    Boom~~~~!


    The underground world shook as lava and flames surged from the ground.


    Although some species had already been warned by the old priest before he died, they just didn''t have enough time.


    "The world shall shake in front of the Destruction races! Ancient God Xie Yang, I will devour your palace and then your domain world¡­!" a voice sounded from the depths as the roar of an enraged dragon echoed throughout the underground world. Even the surface world felt a slight trembling sensation.


    "Retreat!"


    "Not good! The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is about to break through the seal!"


    The elites of the three forces panicked and started searching for some escape routes.


    Whoosh!


    Nan Gongsheng was the fastest; he turned into a streak of silver that sped upward.


    Lightning Wings Flying Technique! The wings behind Zhao Feng''s back fluttered quickly as he flew into the air.


    Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng were the first to react, and they disappeared in an instant.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao¡­!" Liu Tianfan and company couldn''t help but exclaim as they saw Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng disappear.


    "Don''t bother with him. We need to retreat from the underground world," Old Fei ordered as he led the way.


    The elites of the Earth Spirit Hall and the Purple Sun Palace quickly tried to find a path to the surface.


    In just a short while, the lava was spreading everywhere. If it was just the power of the lava, it wouldn''t much of a threat to the disciples. Lava was really only dangerous to the various species that lived underground.


    However, the lava contained Fire of the Earth, which could burn normal Origin Core Realms into ashes. Fire of the Earth could even threaten Void God Realm Kings.


    "Looks like the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon still needs a bit of time to escape¡­." Gu Chaozhi murmured.


    The shaking sensation and crashing sounds continued. One could roughly estimate what was happening in the underground world based on the trembling sensation and how often it shook.


    "All of you, leave the underground world first," Gu Chaozhi ordered.


    There were several half-step Kings from the Earth Spirit Hall that were very experienced.


    Whoosh!


    Gu Chaozhi turned into a streak of lightning and chased after Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    The Evil God Crystal has only just been transferred to Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain, and there could still be some variables, Gu Chaozhi thought.


    Within an hour, the disciples of the three forces had managed to retreat from the underground world.


    Back in the surface world where the winds were howling:


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng appeared in the desert.


    "Zhao Feng, here is your blood pond." Nan Gongsheng used his spatial technique and returned the blood pond to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head but didn''t leave immediately.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, do you have something on your mind?" Nan Gongsheng asked. He could guess that Zhao Feng had acquired something and started to re-cultivate.


    "I have a plan, but I don''t know if Senior Martial Brother Nan is courageous enough or not." Zhao Feng smiled, and then they started to discuss with their Divine Senses.


    "You¡­ want to take on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon?" Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but take a deep breath. Zhao Feng''s plan was huge.


    "Fortune coexists with danger. Furthermore, I believe that Senior Martial Brother Nan needs a protector to help control and use the Evil God Crystal," Zhao Feng said confidently.


    Nan Gongsheng''s expression changed a few times, but he nodded his head after hesitating for a while.


    Whoosh!


    Gu Chaozhi from the Earth Spirit Hall appeared nearby and gave them a greeting.


    Nan Gongsheng knew that Gu Chaozhi still hadn''t given up on the Evil God Crystal, but at this moment, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng just formed an alliance ¨C they decided to team up and split the profits from the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Gu Chaozhi''s heart shook when he saw the two talking so closely. Nan Gongsheng by himself was already incredibly strong, and he had no chance of winning against the immeasurable Zhao Feng as well.


    Seeing the situation, Gu Chaozhi had to momentarily retreat.


    "Zhao Feng!"


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao¡­."


    Old Fei, Kong Feiling, and the others from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan arrived.


    "Old Fei and fellow Martial Brothers and Sisters, I think all of you should retreat and get far away from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon," Zhao Feng warned. His God''s Spiritual Eye could see what was happening underground; based on the shaking, it looked like it wouldn''t be long before the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could see the sun again.


    "Zhao Feng, then you¡­?" The expressions of Kong Feiling, Liu Tianfan, and company changed.


    "Nan Gongsheng and I have other stuff to do. We shall meet again if we are destined to," Zhao Feng said very straightforwardly, then flew away with Nan Gongsheng into the distance.


    "That Zhao Feng has no conscience at all."


    "He doesn''t even care about whether we live or die. He only cares about himself."


    The people from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan said in dissatisfaction.


    Only Old Fei''s expression was the same as usual as he spoke with a sigh, "Maybe we''re just dragging him down. Just think of him as any other normal Small Origin Core Realm disciple."


    He could tell that Zhao Feng wanted to leave and work with Nan Gongsheng when the two of them escaped from the underground world together.


    Hearing that, no one else complained. If Zhao Feng was just a normal Small Origin Core Realm, then it didn''t really matter if he stayed in the group or not. If they thought about it like this, they felt balanced again.


    Boom!


    As time passed, the shaking sensation from underground became stronger and stronger. The group from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan retreated from the source of the shaking as quickly as they could.


    The groups from the Earth Spirit Hall and the Purple Sun Palace also headed away from the shaking.


    Around four hours later:


    Boom! Crack!


    A tremendous explosion sounded from underground, then the screams of countless beings. A large chasm started to appear in the earth, and volcanoes spat out lava as a surge of Destructive aura appeared.


    In this instant, countless beings within several dozen thousand miles felt a strong Destructive aura that made them unable to breathe.


    Wu~~~~ Roar~


    The roar of a dragon resounded across Heaven and Earth as the earth shook and volcanoes continued to erupt.


    Hu~~


    A serpent dragon around five hundred yards long flew out from the ground. It had cold, room-sized eyes, and it was covered in ancient black scales. Looking closely at it, one could see thick black chains wrapped around its body that clanged as it flew.


    The black-scaled serpent dragon created an enormous shadow that could be seen from a thousand miles away. A disastrous aura radiated from the black-scaled serpent dragon, which pressured everything within dozens of thousands of miles.


    In the desert, some retreating disciples felt their legs go soft. The bloodline aura of the Destruction Dragon Race made countless existences tremble in fear and panic.


    "So strong! So that''s the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon¡­."


    The members of the three forces that had already retreated far away felt their hearts shake. They felt that the strength of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon surpassed even Void God Realm Emperors.


    "Die, ants!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon slashed out its claw, creating a faint black whirlwind that swept across ten miles.


    "Arghhhh~~~~!"


    Some species that had just retreated from the underground world faced a disaster; the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s whirlwind instantly killed hundreds of ratmen, wolfmen, lizardmen, and more.


    There were members of the underground species dying every moment. Most of them died to the lava, while a small number were killed by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon directly.


    "A bunch of ants!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s enormous black-scaled body flew by, and hundreds upon thousands of underground denizens were crushed to death.


    Crack!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s claw made the earth shake, and lightning flashed through the air.


    "Black Serpent Dragon, the Evil God will punish you!"


    Some underground experts who had fallen into despair started to counterattack. One of them was a Void God Realm giant who led a group of Great Origin Core Realms and half-step Kings in a charge against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    The Void God Realm giant was around three stories tall, and it had great defense.


    Boom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon flicked its tail and crushed all of the underground elites into meat paste.


    Crack!


    The Void God Realm giant was split into pieces, and his defense that had almost reached the level of a Emperor was unable to block even one blow from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Hu~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon opened its mouth and released a ball of faint black flames that turned the giant into ashes. These flames that it spat out didn''t even seem to be the true Destruction Dragon Flame.


    Wu~~ Roar~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon used its body to crush more nearby underground experts.


    Bam! Bam! Bam~~~~!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was disaster incarnate as it destroyed the underground city.


    It became calm soon enough after releasing its rage. There were still experts of the underground species running, but the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was too disdainful of chasing after and killing them.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly started to struggle in the air as it tried to use its unrivalled power to struggle out of the thick black chains. However, the materials of these chains were extremely unique; the more it struggled, the more helpless it became.


    "This Yuan Sealing Divine Chain has restricted most of my strength. I can''t even absorb Heaven Earth Yuan Qi¡­."


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s struggling was useless.


    "Evil God Xie Yang, your world has been forgotten. I will go to your palace later and find the key. After I recover my strength, I will destroy this world!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s angry roars sounded.


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon turned into a black shadow as it shot into the clouds.


    Although the elites of the three human forces had already retreated a long distance away, they could still feel what happened. Maybe the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was too disdainful of killing these weaklings, and the slaughter a moment ago was just to vent its rage.


    Its main focus right now was to get rid of the Yuan Sealing Divine Chain and become stronger.


    Hu~


    The elites of the three forces felt the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon moving further and further away, and they let out a long breath.


    At a certain moment, within a concealed cave:


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two figures appeared. It was a handsome youth with purple hair and a youth with dark black clothes.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re really thinking of following the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon?" Nan Gongsheng was slightly scared.


    "We don''t need to follow very closely. We can just follow the trail of destruction. This black serpent dragon definitely knows some secrets of the Gods and the Divine Illusion Dimension," Zhao Feng said calmly as his eyes twinkled.

 804 Xuanyuan Wen

    Chapter 804 - Xuanyuan Wen


    Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng talked in private in front of the sand cave.


    Nan Gongsheng was surprised by what Zhao Feng was thinking ¨C follow the serpent dragon. They both saw the strength of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon; even Void God Realm Kings could be killed instantly. Furthermore, that was with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon having been sealed for dozens of millennia and being extremely weak at the moment. It wasn''t even at one hundredth of its peak strength. There was even a Yuan Sealing Divine Chain that was still binding it and limiting its strength even more.


    Once the black serpent dragon recovered some of its strength, even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords would need to be wary.


    Ceng! Ceng!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng carefully followed the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon from behind. They didn''t dare to get too close to it; they maintained a distance of at least several thousand miles. Safety first no matter what.


    Luckily, the aura of Destruction radiating from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon terrified everything within dozens of miles, and it could be easily sensed.


    On its way, other geniuses and elites saw the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon with their own eyes and trembled in fear. What was even more shocking was that two people were following about ten thousand miles behind the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    However, plan and reality differed. At the beginning, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were scared that they would get too close, but they realized that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was becoming faster and faster. Maybe the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was just feeling a little stiff when it broke out of the seal, and now it was raising its speed as it loosened up.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng started to feel tired. The Divine Illusion Dimension was a high-level place, and the pressure of Heaven and Earth was strong within it. Even jumping into the air used much more energy than it did in the outside world. On the other hand, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body was extremely strong, so it could easily fly through the air.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng lost track of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and its destructive momentum.


    "Don''t worry, we can follow its aura." Zhao Feng was confident. A while back, he chased after the Emperor of Death for a long time, so he was confident in his tracking abilities. One of the God''s Spiritual Eye''s specialties was tracking.


    Even though the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s destructive momentum had disappeared, Zhao Feng could still find traces and guess the rough direction of where the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon went.


    The two decided to travel at a steady speed. Nan Gongsheng even had the time to try to interact with the Evil God Crystal in his spatial domain.


    He wasn''t able to control or use the power of the Evil God Crystal right away, but since the God Crystal was already in his spatial domain, he could try to slowly assimilate it.


    Several days later, Zhao Feng suddenly felt the disturbance of a wicked power come from Nan Gongsheng. If it wasn''t for the fact that he was close to Nan Gongsheng, he wouldn''t have been able to sense this.


    "Nan Gongsheng, if you assimilate the Evil God Crystal and turn it into your core, its wicked power will first affect your spatial domain, then your Crystal Core. At the end, even your attitude will be twisted," Zhao Feng warned.


    "I understand. I will slowly refine and then excrete the wicked power," Nan Gongsheng said confidently.


    At the moment, the Evil God Crystal was in the core of his spatial domain. This meant that the power of the Evil God Crystal was slowly assimilating his spatial domain as well.


    Nan Gongsheng was overjoyed when he felt himself become stronger. He didn''t believe that the power of the Evil God Crystal could affect he who was ¨C he was a Void God Realm King. Even if it did, he could ask some Emperors or even some Sacred Lords to help him when he returned to the clan.


    Elsewhere in the Divine Illusion Dimension, there was a crystal-blue lake in the center of a forest. The elites of several forces stood around the lake. They were either from three-star or four-star forces.


    In the air above the lake stood a normal male wearing a t-shirt, and he had his hands behind his back. His appearance was average, but his eyes were deep as if they had experienced time and samsara.


    Three Void God Realm Kings stood opposite him, consisting of two young prodigies and a middle-aged male in yellow.


    "Xin Wuheng, do you really think that you can fight against three Kings and take the Blue Crystal Tear by yourself?" One of the youths had an ugly expression. His robes were slightly damaged, and his hair was ruffled. In terms of strength, he wasn''t much weaker than Gu Chaozhi from the Earth Spirit Hall.


    All three Kings were injured to various degrees, and they looked at the male in the t-shirt with respect and wariness.


    Xin Wuheng, who was the center of attention, remained calm and spoke slowly, "One Domain-level King and two early-stage Void God Realms aren''t my match."


    "Xin Wuheng, don''t think that you can bully us~~~!" the middle-aged male with yellow robes roared as he spread his arms, and two shining yellow dragon figures intertwined with great agility.


    Weng~~


    At the same moment, a heavy muddy-yellow spatial domain appeared around the three Kings.


    Xin Wuheng smiled. "A spatial domain at that level isn''t enough."


    Facing the three Kings, he merely raised one hand and kept the other behind his back.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Green trees appeared in the air and transformed into spikes as they stabbed through the Earth-elemental spatial domain of the yellow-robed male.


    Wah!


    The yellow robed middle-aged male spat out a mouthful of blood as the spatial domain he had worked on for several years almost shattered.


    "This Xin Wuheng has only just reached the early stages of the Void God Realm, but he can already use so many different types of spatial domain. What kind of monster is he?"


    The members of the forces nearby were stunned.


    "Have you realized that Xin Wuheng has only used one hand from the beginning?" The eyes of a pretty girl in rainbow-colored clothes twinkled.


    Indeed, Xin Wuheng only used one hand to fight the three Kings.


    "As expected of the genius ranked 39th on the Imperial Genius rankings! That Xin Wuheng''s true strength is probably even greater than his current rank would suggest," a half-step King couldn''t help but exclaim.


    Bam! Peng! Boom~~~~


    Xin Wuheng and the three Kings instantly exchanged several blows, and about ten half-step Kings nearby attacked him from afar.


    Facing all of this, Xin Wuheng remained as calm as water and still only used one hand to face all these experts.


    Boom! Boom! Peng~~~~!


    The three Kings were suddenly pushed back and sent flying by a weird five-colored spatial domain.


    "Xin Wuheng, you win¡­." The young King wiped the blood off his mouth.


    Xin Wuheng probably hadn''t even used his full strength yet. Everyone believed in his strength.


    Xin Wuheng smiled. "Then this Blue Crystal Tear is mine."


    The Blue Crystal Tear was not a normal treasure. It could also increase one''s state of existence and soul-strength.


    With this Blue Crystal Tear, Xin Wuheng''s early-stage Void God Realm cultivation would be able to be consolidated.


    Right at this moment, the unexpected happened.


    Hu~~


    A Destructive aura appeared in the air, dark clouds appeared, and lightning hummed in the air. The earth started to shake, and volcanoes erupted.


    "What¡­ what is that aura!?"


    The elites present felt their souls and bodies tremble in fear.


    As time passed, the aura of disaster became stronger, and an ancient dragon bloodline appeared.


    "Dragon bloodline? Such a pure Destructive aura." Even Xin Wuheng''s forehead twitched.


    The group stared into the distance and faintly saw the image of a large black dragon that destroyed everything in its path.


    "Not good!" Xin Wuheng seemed to see something, and he quickly disappeared into the forest near the lake.


    A while later, the body of an enormous black-scaled dragon approached the forest.


    "Ants of the outside world!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon slashed its claws in disdain.


    Hu~ Shua!


    A faint black tornado instantly formed and expanded by ten miles¡­ dozens of miles¡­ a hundred miles¡­ several hundred miles.


    "Run¡­! What kind of terrifying monster is this?"


    "That black serpent dragon seems to have the bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race!"


    The disciples and elites of the various forces scattered so they wouldn''t all be killed by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon in one blow.


    Big chunks of the limitless forest were turned into ashes. A large number of beasts and animals were also killed. A small number of disciples that were unable to escape were slain as well.


    Whoosh!


    The shadow of an enormous dragon passed by, and from the looks of it, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had only thrown a casual attack. It didn''t put any thought into these tiny "dots."


    Half a day later, on top of a mound in the depths of the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Several large "mound monsters" as big as mountains were attacking an elegant and handsome youth. These mound monsters were similar to the ones Zhao Feng had met in the Floating Crest Palace, but they were up to ten times bigger and had ancient auras.


    "Each of these Mound Kings have battle-power close to a Peak-tier King, and their defense is monstrous¡­."


    The elegant youth furrowed his eyebrows.


    Each Mound King had a strong gravitational domain that would affect anyone within range. Putting aside fighting, early-stage Void God Realm Kings wouldn''t even be able to walk properly in front of these Mound Kings.


    There were four or five Mound Kings attacking the elegant youth right now.


    "Chaotic God Technique ¨C Mark of Heaven!" the elegant youth exclaimed as two of his fingers drew something in the air.


    In the next instant, dozens of crystalline beams appeared in the air and stacked on top of each other.


    Shu Shu Shu Shu Shu~~


    The nearby Mound Kings were instantly ripped into pieces.


    At the same time, a scarlet head appeared from a distant mound. The scarlet-colored head had a pair of horns, scaled skin, and beady green eyes. It stared at the elegant youth in front.


    "That Xuanyuan Wen is indeed worthy of being the prodigy of the four-star Heaven Hanging Palace. He''s already comprehended an incomplete Heaven-grade divine technique," the scarlet head murmured.


    Shua!


    After slaying the mound monsters, Xuanyuan Wen took their cores and continued to advance.


    "I''m almost at the center of the Divine Illusion Dimension¡­ the ancient mysterious palace." Xuanyuan Wen took a deep breath as he gazed toward the front.


    Being the prodigy of a four-star superpower, he knew more information than normal forces. Luckily for him, this important central piece of the Divine Illusion Dimension had connected to the area close to the continent zone.


    Right at this moment in time, the Destructive aura of a dragon appeared from the other side of the clouds, and the amount of force emanating from it was enough to cause everything within dozens of miles to shake. Even Xuanyuan Wen felt his bloodline and strength become suppressed.


    "What a terrifying aura. What is it? Its target¡­ seems to be the ancient mysterious palace as well!"

 805 Ancient Mysterious Palace

    Chapter 805 - Ancient Mysterious Palace


    "Its target¡­ seems to be the ancient mysterious palace as well!"


    Xuanyuan Wen''s gaze landed on the large shadow of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, which was charging toward the depths of the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon released an aura of Destruction wherever it went, causing countless beings to tremble and shake in fear. Even someone as strong as Xuanyuan Wen felt the pressure and didn''t dare to approach.


    At this moment, Xuanyuan Wen revealed a thoughtful expression. The ancient mysterious palace of the Divine Illusion Dimension was not something that many people from the lord dynasty knew about. When the Divine Illusion Dimension and continent zone connected, this place was at the very center. Normally, no one would be able to reach the ancient mysterious palace.


    However, at this instant, the sudden appearance of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon destroyed Xuanyuan Wen''s plans for the ancient mysterious palace. He wouldn''t be able to hide the existence of the palace from everyone else anymore; the momentum of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was simply too strong.


    "There are advantages and disadvantages." Xuanyuan Wen smiled. "With the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon leading the way, it might be able to destroy all the laws and arrays in the ancient mysterious palace."


    Crack!


    He took out a unique token and crushed it. A strong but hidden undulation surged toward another part of the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Most messaging functions would be heavily limited in the Divine Illusion Dimension, but some could still be used.


    Xuanyuan Wen then followed the direction of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    At the same moment in time, elsewhere in the Divine Illusion Dimension, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were still following steadily from behind, occasionally taking a break. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon became faster and faster, and it easily reached the speed of an Emperor. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were unable to catch up.


    Zhao Feng was extremely skilled in tracking, so he wasn''t scared of losing track of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. In reality, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had flown without any fear or wariness, so anyone that had even a little experience in tracking would be able to follow it.


    "As I thought, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here is becoming denser. We''re reaching the center of the Divine Illusion Dimension." Zhao Feng looked toward the distance.


    The beasts they had met on the way were becoming stronger as well.


    Of course, there was a lot of fortune on the way as well, and they occasionally saw the figures of others from the outside world.


    The point of connection into the Divine Illusion Dimension was very big, so all the forces from the lord dynasty and the oceans nearby were able to enter. There were at least several hundred two-star forces that had entered, and this was a conservative number, not even counting those from major families.


    Of course, not many forces were able to send in Void God Realm Kings unless they were at least a three-star force or from the Eight Big Families.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng landed on a hill, then started to rest. In order to make sure they could handle any emergencies, they didn''t want to expend too much of their Yuan Qi.


    Instead of resting, it was better to call it cultivating. Zhao Feng took out the King-level Crystal Core of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion and started to cultivate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    This forgotten dimension still had its original landscape, and the Yuan Qi here was much better than the outside world. Cultivating here was much more efficient than in the outside world. Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye found some plants that were extinct in the outside world on the way as well.


    With the help of the Wind Lightning core, Zhao Feng''s cultivation was slowly and steadily increasing.


    The Wind Lightning Crystal Core contained a Wind Lightning True Yuan dimension, and it was very compatible with Zhao Feng. In just a short while, Zhao Feng''s Yuan Qi recovered, and the size and quality of his Crystal Core were increasing.


    I still need some time to break through to the Great Origin Core Realm, Zhao Feng thought.


    After all, the Origin Core Realm was a long process of accumulation, and the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique wasn''t a normal skill.


    After thinking for a while, Zhao Feng decided to alter the path of his cultivation. He stopped focusing on the quantity and started focusing on the quality of his True Yuan.


    The core within Zhao Feng''s dantian showed more signs of crystallizing.


    I''ll first raise the quality of my True Yuan to the Great Origin Core Realm. Zhao Feng had a target.


    The reason he did this was because he would be able to become stronger within a shorter amount of time and gain more explosive strength.


    To reach this goal, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the whirlpool in his Soul Sea. In the next instant, he stepped onto an ancient piece of land. The pressure here was far stronger than the Divine Illusion Dimension, but with the force of his Sacred Lightning Body, he could easily walk around here.


    There were still several Spiritual Fruits on the tree, and most of them were ripe. The python and bird were both still guarding.


    Zhao Feng took a fully ripe Ancient Dream Realm fruit and took some bites out of it.


    The Ancient Dream Realm fruit was extremely useful for bodies and bloodlines. A while back, the child Demigod had eaten a few when he was a King, and it strengthened his Sacred Body.


    However, it was hard to digest the spiritual fruit, and it took a long time, otherwise Zhao Feng wouldn''t have eaten it only now.


    His consciousness then returned to the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Nan Gongsheng was cultivating behind Zhao Feng, and his spatial domain glittered with the power of the Evil God Crystal.


    Zhao Feng found that the Evil God Crystal and Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain were assimilating each other. The Evil God Crystal was the core, and the wicked power of the Evil God Crystal had eroded Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain. Some of it had even merged into his Crystal Core.


    Weng~~


    Wisps of wicked purple light glowed amongst the silver light around Nan Gongsheng''s body. A purple-colored half-moon mark seemed to flicker on Nan Gongsheng''s forehead, as if it was the mark of an Evil God.


    Hu~~


    With Nan Gongsheng''s every breath, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby would move and act as if it was bowing down to a God.


    As expected of the Evil God Crystal. Nan Gongsheng is becoming stronger and stronger, but I don''t know if he''ll be able to truly control its power, Zhao Feng thought.


    Of course, Zhao Feng''s progress was shocking as well. He had eaten the Ancient Dream Realm spiritual fruit and had the Wind Lightning Crystal Core of a King. In just half a day''s time, it was obvious that Zhao Feng''s bloodline and body had become stronger. He reached the late stages of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and was starting to progress toward the peak fourth level, and he had only digested a small proportion of the Ancient Dream Realm fruit.


    Bo~ Bo~ Weng~~


    Zhao Feng appeared within a whirlpool of water and lightning, and the nearby Water and Lightning Yuan Qi roared. Rain and lightning surrounded the air above the hill, and anyone within a hundred miles of it could feel it clearly.


    "The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique has broken through to the 6th level." Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression.


    The first three levels of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique were the foundation of Wind Lightning, and after that, one would construct the first of the five elements. Now, Zhao Feng''s Water of Wind Lightning had reached the sixth level.


    "I''ll be able to construct the second element of Wind Lightning at the 7th level ¨C the Wood of Wind Lightning." Zhao Feng was looking forward to this.


    The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique cultivated the five elements. The construction of another element wasn''t just an increase in direct strength, it also meant that more techniques and abilities could be used. Furthermore, an extra element meant that the Sacred Lightning Body would become more resilient against that element.


    For example, Zhao Feng currently used the Water of Wind Lightning to refine his Sacred Lightning Body, so he had a strong resilience against Ice and Water attacks.


    Zhao Feng''s core within his dantian had almost fully crystallized. Apart from the quantity, there wasn''t much of a difference between his True Yuan and someone at the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Adding on the fact that he had the Sacred Lightning Body and the Wind Lightning Technique, these two sacred techniques, his battle-power was comparable to a half-step King, and that was without even taking into account his hidden cards, bloodline, or God''s Spiritual Eye.


    "Let''s go." Zhao Feng got up. Although the majority of the Spiritual Fruit hadn''t been digested yet, he could slowly absorb it on the way.


    When he fully absorbed this Spiritual Fruit, Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body would reach the limit of the fourth level, and he would be able to crush normal half-step Kings with just his physical body alone.


    Hu~


    Nan Gongsheng let out a long breath and got up unwillingly. The Evil God Crystal had strengthened his spatial domain and his Crystal Core. The feeling could make anyone lose themselves in it.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng leapt over the hill and continued to chase after the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    An ancient ruined city came into sight after a couple dozen miles, and they could hear the sound of battle.


    Whoosh!


    A white beam of light sped out from the ruins toward them.


    "Quickly chase after her! That evil girl from the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty has stolen the Mind Calming Pearl and the Soul Healing Wood."


    A bunch of figures sped out of the ruined city chasing the white light.


    Hmm? Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but look over. They had seen people fight before, but this was the first time they had seen several hundred people all gathered together, and they were all elites.


    Whoosh!


    One could see the faint image of a female with a pair of transparent wings in the white light. Her aura had reached the Void God Realm.


    There were two people that had reached the Void God Realm King in the chasing group, and the others were mainly at the half-step King level or the peak stage of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    "Fellow friends in front, can you please stop that evil girl from the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty?" a young King wearing some old armor yelled.


    The speed of the female with wings surpassed everyone chasing her, so none of them would be able to catch up. Only if Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng stopped her would they have a chance to take her down.


    "This girl seems to have some sort of treasure on her¡­. Get back here!" A light flashed in Zhao Feng''s eyes as sent out a punch through the air.


    The female with wings revealed a disdainful look as she saw a Small Origin Core Realm youth attack her. However, her expression changed dramatically the next instant.


    Boom!


    The punch contained an enormous physical force that could kill normal Great Origin Core Realms.


    The female with wings was fast, but her physical body was her weakness. Adding on the fact that she wasn''t expecting it to be so powerful, her figure shook in the air as she was almost injured.


    Right at this moment:


    Shua!


    A wicked silver light that glittered with purple rushed toward the female.


    "Spatial technique!" The winged female''s expression changed dramatically as she realized that these two were unusual. Nan Gongsheng''s silver spatial domain glittered with purple and radiated a wicked power that even she was afraid of.


    "Two young masters, please let me live. I will give you all my treasures¡­." the female with wings begged and cried.

 806 The God’s Spiritual Eye’s Counterattack

    Chapter 806 - The God''s Spiritual Eye''s Counterattack


    "Two young masters, please let me live. I will give you all my treasures¡­." The winged female''s face was charmingly red as she begged in a sympathetic tone.


    She had a cultivation at the Void God Realm, and her bloodline gave her stunning speed. However, she underestimated her enemies and fell into Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain immediately, and she also needed to withstand the physical force that Zhao Feng exerted on her.


    Nan Gongsheng''s domain was a rare Space-type domain, so it was hard to escape from if one entered it. On top of that, now that it had merged with the Evil God Crystal, the strength of Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain had exceeded the norm.


    The girl with wings realized that she was unable to escape.


    "Zhao Feng, what should we do with her?" Nan Gongsheng asked.


    At this moment, all three people were covered in a weird silver-purple spatial domain that was almost completely cut off from the rest of the world.


    The cicada-winged girl was extremely surprised. Nan Gongsheng needed to ask the purple-haired youth for his opinion even with his strength? It was as if the purple-haired youth was the leader.


    "It''s just a non-human female; kill her," Zhao Feng said emotionlessly as killing Intent flashed in his eyes.


    The girl with cicada wings felt coldness spread throughout her body. These two were decisive people.


    "Kill!" A metallic silver-blue light glowed around Zhao Feng as the area around him became heavy, and he threw a series of punches at the female with cicada wings.


    Peng~~


    The female with cicada wings felt a terrifying surge of physical force crush her body, almost making her vomit blood.


    It wasn''t that she couldn''t fight back at all, it was just that she was trapped in Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain and was unable to circulate her Magnificent Power. Her True Yuan was also limited to a certain degree. Her species specialized in speed, and they didn''t have strong bodies.


    "Not good!" The winged female''s body shook, and she was already injured earlier. Before she could react, critical danger appeared.


    Shu! Shu! Shu! Shu!


    A layer of silver and purple spatial blades formed in Nan Gongsheng''s palm, which instantly ripped the female into dozens of pieces.


    "Arghh!" The female with cicada wings screamed as bloody pieces of her body fell from the sky.


    The King youth wearing old armor and the rest all drew in cold breaths. All they saw was Zhao Feng attacking and slaying the female within three breaths.


    In the air, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng started to gather the spoils of war from the female with cicada wings. The treasures of a Void God Realm King were obviously not simple, but most were of no use to Zhao Feng.


    On the other hand, the Mind Calming Peal and Soul Healing Wood that she just got were extremely useful.


    The Mind Calming Pearl was a rare Soul treasure that could make the user more resilient against many mental energy illusions and Soul Dao techniques. It could even get rid of heart demons and help form Intent. In terms of value, the Mind Calming Pearl came close to the Sky Locking Bow and the Qiankun Sword.


    However, Zhao Feng wanted the Soul Healing Wood more since it could heal and strengthen the soul, and it was useful even for Void God Realm Kings.


    Both the Mind Calming Pearl and the Soul Healing Wood were extremely attractive to anyone below the Mystic Light Realm.


    "Nan Gongsheng, you have been affected by the Evil God Pearl. The Mind Calming Pearl is yours. The Soul Healing Wood will recover my soul''s Intent," Zhao Feng said.


    Since he had the God''s Spiritual Eye, he didn''t need the Mind Calming Pearl. On the other hand, Nan Gongsheng had cut the winged female into dozens of pieces, which wasn''t what he usually did. Although Nan Gongsheng was decisive and not afraid to kill, he wasn''t bloodthirsty.


    "Deal." Nan Gongsheng knew that Zhao Feng had good intentions, and the wicked power of the Evil God Crystal had indeed affected him.


    Nan Gongsheng immediately put on the Mind Calming Pearl and felt a coolness travel into his soul. His gaze became clearer, and Zhao Feng nodded his head. Nan Gongsheng would be a strong ally in the Divine Illusion Dimension while Zhao Feng was still recovering.


    The Soul Healing Wood was not bad; it could increase the speed of Zhao Feng recovering his Emperor Intent. He estimated that the Soul Healing Wood would be able to recover his soul-strength to the early or middle stages of the Void God Realm. At that point in time, his Emperor Intent wouldn''t be far away from awakening.


    However, right now wasn''t the moment to use it.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sound of flying appeared. It was the people who were chasing the female from the ancient ruined city. The leaders were a youth wearing armor and a purple-haired girl. They were both Void God Realm Kings; the youth with the armor was a Domain-level older generation King whereas the girl with purple hair was a new King. She was pretty, and her purple hair gave off a noble and dreamy elegance.


    "This one is called Cao Yun from one of the Eight Big Families ¨C the Cao Family. May I ask where you two are from?" the youth clasped his hands together and asked.


    The quick actions of Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng slaying the female with cicada wings made him wary.


    One of the Eight Big Families, the Cao Family.


    "I am Ji Lan from one of the Eight Big Families ¨C the Ji Family. Shouldn''t you two give us a reason for taking the treasures of our prey?" The purple-haired girl''s eyes glittered with a faint purple.


    Hmm? Zhao Feng felt that this purple-haired Ji Lan had an unusual eye-bloodline.


    "These two both come from the Eight Big Families." Nan Gongsheng didn''t dare to underestimate either of them.


    Before entering the Divine Illusion Dimension, the seniors of the Mystic True Sacred Clan talked about the situation of the lord dynasty.


    The strength of any single one of the Eight Big Families surpassed the entire Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    Seeing that these two people stayed silent, the armor-wearing Cao Yun smiled. He was sure that the forces or families that they came from couldn''t be compared to the Eight Big Families.


    "How about this: hand over the Mind Calming Pearl and the Soul Healing Wood, and we won''t take any of the other items," Cao Yun smiled and said, while the purple-haired Ji Lan pouted her lips, as if not satisfied.


    "Hmph, I wouldn''t care even if a prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty was here. I don''t have the habit of spitting out meat that I''ve already eaten." Zhao Feng laughed disdainfully.


    Hearing that, Cao Yun''s and Ji Lan''s expressions changed, and the group behind them broke out into discussion.


    "Arrogant brat!"


    "A measly Small Origin Core Realm. Are you not scared that the wind will cut off your tongue?"


    Zhao Feng''s words angered the elites from the big families. Cao Yun''s expression was grim, but he felt that Zhao Feng was confident and could see through everything. This purple-haired youth was the one to attack the female with cicada wings first as well.


    "Let''s see what you''re made of." Ji Lan laughed coldly.


    Hu~~


    Her dazzling purple hair blew in the wind as if she was a purple-haired elf.


    Zhao Feng''s hair was also purple, but the tone of his purple hair was even prettier than Ji Lan''s. Ji Lan wasn''t happy; not only was this youth handsome, he had purple hair that was even prettier than her own.


    "Purple Star Eyes!" Ji Lan''s eyes glittered with a misty purple that seemed like purple stars in the sky, and a strong surge of Soul power charged toward Zhao Feng.


    In that instant, thousands of burning stars crushed toward Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s souls and caused them to shake.


    Normal Kings would fall into the abyss of Soul eye-bloodline techniques, and their souls would even be injured. Cao Yun and company would then attack during this chance.


    However, their plan and reality were drastically different. The youth with black clothes and the purple-haired youth both stood motionless; they weren''t affected.


    Nan Gongsheng''s eyes flashed as he circulated his King Intent and blocked this soul attack that contained the Dao of Illusion. On the other hand, Zhao Feng stood unmoving with an expressionless face like a doll. There was no reaction from him at all.


    "Hmph!" The left eye of the dazed Zhao Feng suddenly glowed with a misty purple light, and condensed beams of lightning surged from it. The lightning was purple, and it was surrounded in wisps of the purple stars that belonged to Ji Lan''s Soul eye-bloodline power.


    Boom!


    Ji Lan''s body shook, and her face went pale as she looked at Zhao Feng''s left eye. "Your eye-bloodline¡­!"


    In that instant, her eye-bloodline trembled. Her soul and eye were injured.


    It was hard to imagine what level of mastery this youth had reached in the Dao of the Soul to be able to counterattack Ji Lan''s offense like so thoroughly. Furthermore, his counterattack contained an immortal and undying aura of lightning that made her unable to breathe.


    "Ji Lan, what happened to you!?" Cao Yun and company couldn''t help but exclaim with shock.


    Ji Lan''s Purple Star Eyes was extremely powerful, and even some geniuses on the Imperial Genius rankings were wary of her. However, Ji Lan had a pale face, and she was shaking as if she had lost her soul. One could imagine her utter defeat.


    "That youth''s eye-bloodline is too terrifying!"


    "Just one counterattack from his eye-bloodline defeated Ji Lan."


    The elites of the two Big Families were stunned.


    At this moment in time, no one dared to attack the duo, including the Domain-level King Cao Yun.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng ¨C one of them had an immeasurable Soul eye-bloodline while the other was a Domain-level King with Space-type abilities.


    "Let''s go." Zhao Feng looked over them coldly and disappeared with Nan Gongsheng.


    In the next instant, a silver light flashed over the group and headed toward the ancient ruined city.


    Cao Yun and the other elites of the Big Families had ugly expressions. Those two were incredibly arrogant and flew right over their heads, but no one dared to attack them due to their strength.


    "Hm? They want to interfere in the ancient ruined city?"


    "Zhao Yufei from the Duanmu Family is over there, and she is unrivalled. Those two are not enough to do anything to her."

 807 Plundering Pair

    Chapter 807 - Plundering Pair


    The gazes of Cao Yun and the other disciples watched with weird expressions as Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng headed toward the ancient ruined city. Many top geniuses of the Big Families had gathered there.


    "Ji Lan, how are you?" Cao Yun asked the purple-haired young girl next to him with care.


    Ji Lan was still trembling, and her face was still white as if her soul wasn''t her own. It was as if she still hadn''t come back to reality from the shock just now.


    All the geniuses were puzzled. Being the esteemed daughter of one of the Eight Big Families, she had a noble status, and she was arrogant. With her unique eye-bloodline, she could be considered a daughter of heaven.


    It wasn''t like there was no one that could match her in the same generation, but none of them had ever seen her so defeated before.


    "His eye-bloodline is one of the most terrifying ones I have ever seen in my life," Ji Lan said as she let out a breath.


    Hearing that, everyone''s heart shook. The Ji Family was famed for their eye-bloodline, and they had produced some of the most powerful and famous eye-bloodline experts throughout history. Although the Ji Family''s eye-bloodline might not be the absolute strongest in the continent zone, Ji Lan had interacted with many of the top eye-bloodlines.


    "Hmph, no matter how strong it is, it can''t be compared to the descendants of the God Eye of Death or the God Eye of Samsara," a half-step King youth said.


    Descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes had appeared in the lord dynasty every now and then over the past thousand years, and this wasn''t much of a secret to the upper echelons of the top forces.


    "I''ve seen the descendants of the God Eyes, but the pressure his left eye gave me was more unique, as if it was the only one in the world. No other eye can be compared to it," Ji Lan said after some thinking. Her Purple Star Eyes still hadn''t fully escaped the fear from before.


    They were both Soul-based eye-bloodlines, but the difference was like the difference between clouds and mud.


    "Haha, Ji Lan, you''re thinking too much¡­. What, do you think that guy''s eye-bloodline is one of the God Eyes?" Cao Yun shook his head and smiled.


    Everyone else laughed as well and didn''t take it to heart.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Elsewhere, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng flew to the edge of the ruined city while covered in a silver light. Zhao Feng''s left eye had become black again, but his hair was still purple. Adding on his handsome face, and he was extremely attractive to those of the opposite sex.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye scanned over the area from mid-air. The ruined city was very big ¨C it was even bigger than the underground world.


    Zhao Feng could tell that it was once a populated city, and it served as a marketplace for the different races. One could see the bones of different races in the city, and it was easy to distinguish the different styles of architectures for the various buildings.


    No one knew what happened, but every living thing inside the city was killed within a short amount of time, and the city turned into ruins.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng felt strong surges of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, True Yuan, and Magnificent Power clashing even from the edge of the ruins. The battle inside the city was very intense.


    "Although everything in the city died due to some unknown cause, many treasures were preserved." Zhao Feng understood. This was the analysis he got from his God''s Spiritual Eye after roughly scanning over the area.


    Indeed, many old treasures had been dug out of this place.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Cao Yun, Ji Lan, and the other experts returned to the ruined city and continued to participate in the fight for other treasures.


    "We seem to be late." Nan Gongsheng was excited. In this chaotic situation, his spatial abilities could be put to good use.


    The two looked at each other, then flashed into the ruined city without hesitation. They only flew for a couple dozen miles before finding a bunch of geniuses fighting up ahead. Some came from the Big Families while others were from sects.


    "Fuck off! The Eight Star Tower found the ancient star stone first."


    "No, no, no, no, the ancient star stone is used to craft Heaven-grade weapons, and it''s already extinct in the outside world. It''s exactly what the Grand Elder of the Jiang Family needs."


    Both forces had Void God Realm Kings, and some of the half-step Kings could release battle-power equivalent to a King by using their bloodline or their secret techniques.


    There were also many experts from other forces watching in secret.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A layer of light suddenly appeared in the air above the battle.


    "Who''s there!?"


    Both forces were surprised. One of the two newcomers was a Domain-level King that seemed to specialize in spatial techniques.


    "It''s just a few crafting materials," a purple-haired youth inside the silver light said emotionlessly.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had the Sky Locking Bow and the Qiankun Sword respectively, so they weren''t interested in normal weapons or crafting materials. Although the value of the ancient star stone was high, it wasn''t enough for the two to enter the fight.


    Sou! Sou!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng flew through the middle of the two forces.


    "Ah! My Water Mother Essence!" a pretty young girl with blue hair exclaimed as her face went red.


    Boom! Shua!


    Under the combination of a spatial secret technique and powerful physical force, she wasn''t able to fight back at all, and the Water Mother Essence that she had just obtained was stolen.


    "How dare those two steal from the number one beauty of the Jiang Family, Jiang Feixue?"


    Many of the elites watching in secret were stunned.


    Many precious materials had been found, and the ancient star stone was the most valuable. The elites of the Jiang Family and the Eight Star Tower were fighting with each other, and these two "retarded" geniuses had just charged straight in and went for the number one beauty of the Jiang Family.


    "Little Sister Feixue, we''ll come help you after we take the ancient star stone." A young King in black robes from the Jiang Family coldly looked toward the direction where Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng left.


    Sou! Sou!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng headed for the depths of the ruined city.


    "Not bad, the Water Mother Essence can make up for the lack of Water element in the Wind Lightning Crystal Core." Zhao Feng was full of smiles, and they soon met another group of elites that was close to one hundred in number. They were most likely from a family.


    "Hahaha! We found two tattered Heaven-grade weapons, and they''re relatively complete," a youth wearing purple-golden robes laughed.


    This youth had the cultivation of a half-step King, and a wrinkled and elderly Domain-level King stood next to him.


    "Thirteenth Prince, apart from the Heaven-grade weapons, there''s also a Sealed Dark Green Bamboo¡­."


    "Hm? There''s another tattered armor here that even Earth-grade weapons can''t damage."


    The nearby elites all found something as they were led by the Thirteenth Prince in purple-golden robes. The nearby forces only dared to watch in secret; they would never come over and steal from them.


    Sou! Sou!


    A silver streak of light appeared at this moment in time.


    "Domain-level King that specializes in Space." The expression of the wrinkled elder changed slightly as he became wary.


    "Which force are you from? We are the imperials of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, go back!" a half-step King yelled.


    Shua!


    Instead of retreating, the layer of silver charged into the group.


    Boom!


    Some imperial geniuses felt a physical force pressure down on them like Mount Tai, and many coughed out blood.


    "Bastard, stop!" the wrinkled elder roared as he turned into a yellow streak of light that charged toward the silver light.


    Nan Gongsheng snickered coldly and threw a punch that gave off a silver and purple light.


    Boom!


    Two Magnificent Powers and spatial domains clashed in the air. The shockwave injured ¨C if not killed ¨C the nearby elites from the imperial family.


    "Old man, anyone that sees a resource in the Divine Illusion Dimension deserves a share." A purple-haired youth inside the spatial domain threw out a punch that contained a strong surge of physical strength and blood-red flame.


    Bam!


    The wrinkled elder was pushed back. He was angry and stunned at the same time, but he didn''t dare to use all his strength or else he''d only create more casualties for his own side. In the exchange just now, he was the one at the disadvantage.


    Whoosh! Sou!


    The layer of silver stayed amidst the chaos for a few breaths, then left.


    "Your Highness, that Wood-elemental treasure ¨C the Wujiangcang Wood ¨C has been taken by those two."


    "Several Spatial Origin Stones that I just found were taken as well."


    Several disciples panicked.


    "Ridiculous! Which thieves dare to challenge the power of the imperial family!?" The purple-golden-robed youth was furious.


    "Sacred Emperor''s Sword!" the Thirteenth Prince roared as a shining golden sword appeared in his hand. It was surrounded by draconic sword-light, and it contained the force of an Emperor that caused the hearts of everyone in the ruined city to shake.


    "Your Highness, please stop!" The wrinkled elder''s expression changed as he immediately tried to stop the purple-golden-robed youth. "The Sacred Emperor''s Sword can''t be easily used, and this isn''t the territory of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty."


    "No one can take resources that belong to the imperials and not be punished." The Thirteenth Prince had nowhere to release his anger, and the wrinkled elder had a bitter smile as he tried to stopped the prince.


    There were countless forces and elites in the Divine Illusion Dimension. The imperials were unable to act however they wanted. Furthermore, those two had only taken a handful of the resources. If the imperials sent people after them, other forces might be attracted by the chaos and use that chance to come in and steal even more.


    Whoosh!


    The layer of silver light headed toward the depths of the ruins.


    "Hehe, this Wujiangcang Wood is a rare Wood-elemental resource that will be extremely useful to my second element of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique ¨C the Wood of Wind Lightning." Zhao Feng gave a light laugh.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng started to plunder from a whole bunch of people. However, the groups that they stole from didn''t have any Void God Realm Kings. There were only some half-step Kings whose battle-power was comparable to a King, so what they stole wasn''t super valuable.


    "Zhao Feng, won''t we enrage all the geniuses of the lord dynasty by doing this¡­?" Nan Gongsheng asked somewhat uneasily.


    In just four hours'' time, they had plundered and stolen from five different groups.


    "We take the things we want and leave. Normal Kings aren''t able to get anywhere near us with our combined strength," Zhao Feng said. The combination of him and Nan Gongsheng was very powerful.


    They decided to steal from a few more forces. There was nothing else they could do; they had arrived late, so they could only use this method to get any good resources.


    Right at this moment:


    Peng! Boom! Boom! Boom~~~~!


    A strong surge of True Yuan and Intent came from the depths of the ruins that surprised even Nan Gongsheng.


    In the air above a tattered palace:


    "Lady Yufei, we admire your strength, but the power of the Duanmu Family is unable to fight back against us four," a tall male with a bald head said. Behind him were three more Void God Realm Kings, and they all teamed up to resist this charming girl in purple.

 808 Golden Bones

    Chapter 808 - Golden Bones


    At this moment, four surges of Magnificent Power gathered into one and merged into the spatial domain of the bald male in dark war robes.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    The four Kings were surrounded by a dark abyssal domain that seemed to have almost materialized, and its color became darker and darker until it was almost pitch-black.


    The battle-power of these four combined was enough to injure even some Peak-tier Kings. The bald male was an older elite, and his battle-power was already comparable to a Peak-tier King by himself.


    "Lady Yufei, we admire your strength, but the power of the Duanmu Family is unable to fight against us four."


    The bald male started to close in, but despite facing the combined strength of four Kings, the expression of the girl in purple didn''t change. Instead, a crystal-like purple glow appeared around her body. If one looked at her, she didn''t seem to be made from normal flesh and blood; instead, she looked like an elegant and noble goddess.


    "Domains that haven''t materialized yet are of no use against me." The girl in purple smiled. She and an elder in green robes behind her seemed to be inside an invisible world. The pressure from the four Kings was like a stone that sunk into the ocean.


    "How is this possible? Unless she has a Little World, how can she block our four spatial domains combined?" The bald male''s expression changed.


    He had fought with Zhao Yufei from the Duanmu Family before, and he was at a disadvantage. Now that he had combined forces with three other Kings, he still wasn''t able to gain the upper hand?


    "Jiu Wuji, you may be an elite amongst Domain-level Kings, but it''s still not enough against the most talented genius in the history of the Duanmu Family," the elder with green robes said confidently, as if he was even more confident than Zhao Yufei herself.


    "Duanmu Family''s¡­ most talented genius ever?"


    "Could the rumor be true? Zhao Yufei really has the Spiritual Race bloodline, which is ranked 19th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races?"


    The bald Jiu Wuji and the other Kings were in disbelief. The expressions of the other forces behind Jiu Wuji and the other Kings were filled with even more shock.


    "As an older elite, Jiu Wuji''s battle-power is comparable to the top thirty of the Imperial Genius rankings, but¡­!"


    At this instant, it may seem like it was a four versus two ¨C Jiu Wuji and company versus Zhao Yufei and the elder in green ¨C but only Zhao Yufei had actually done anything so far.


    "I don''t believe this! Attack separately?" Jiu Wuji snickered coldly as his black spatial domain contracted.


    Shua!


    His figure flashed as he and the other three Kings charged toward Zhao Yufei and the elder in green.


    "Go!" Zhao Yufei yelled as her jade-like hand opened, and crystalline purple flames turned into a barrier that spread outward.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Before the other three Kings could even get close, a dominating force sent them flying. One of them even started to cough out blood.


    "Break~~~~!" Only Jiu Wuji managed to get close. His robes flapped in the air as a dark whirlwind formed in his palm and pierced through the crystalline barrier.


    Such battle-power made the forces behind him cheer.


    Bam!


    Part of the remaining force from the dark whirlwind landed on Zhao Yufei and made her body shake slightly, but her body remained crystalline and unharmed.


    "What kind of body is this!?" Jiu Wuji''s expression changed dramatically.


    Bam!


    Using this chance, Zhao Yufei and the elder in green counterattacked and sent Jiu Wuji flying. A dark field appeared around Jiu Wuji, which blocked the two attacks. He managed to steady himself, but his blood started to boil. This was still under the fact that his battle-power was considered unrivalled against all those under the Emperor level.


    Solemnness appeared on Zhao Yufei and the elder in green''s faces. This Jiu Wuji came from a peak three-star superpower, and he wasn''t even a hundred years old yet and already had battle-power unrivalled against everyone below the Emperor level.


    "Zhao Yufei, I''ll take a step back ¨C we''ll split the resources around the corpses 50-50." Jiu Wuji''s eyes were cold as he suppressed the anger in his heart. He still had some hidden cards and secret techniques, but the Divine Illusion Dimension had only just opened, so he needed to conserve some strength.


    The two sides had been fighting for some treasures near some bones. Below a tattered building was a complete set of bones from a non-human race. No one knew how long it had been there, but it still glowed with gold. Within one or two miles of this non-human golden skeleton were treasures that could even make some Emperors and Sacred Lords go red with desire.


    Firstly, there were God Crystals. Most of them were substandard, but they were all extremely valuable in the outside world. There was a couple dozen around this area.


    Apart from that, there were two Heaven-grade divine weapons and one Inheritance Sacred Weapon that gave off such a powerful force that normal Kings were unable to get close.


    The weapons of this world were split into the Mortal, Spiritual, Earth, and Heaven grades. Heaven-grade divine weapons were the most powerful in the world; only people that were at least at the Mystic Light Realm could fully unleash their power. Normal Inheritance Sacred Weapons were of the Heaven-grade, and even the worst ones would be close to the Heaven grade at the very least.


    Inheritance Sacred Weapons would adjust their power depending on the cultivation of the user, but they had strict requirements. Some Inheritance Sacred Weapons also contained inheritance information.


    Apart from God Crystals, Heaven-grade divine weapons, and the Inheritance Sacred Weapon, there were also some rare resources and items near the bones, such as an interspatial gourd, Spiritual Fruits, and specially-sealed pills.


    "The strength of the owner of these bones might have reached the Demigod level. They were ¨C at the very least ¨C stronger than normal Sacred Lords."


    "I''d be satisfied if I received even 1% of the items left behind by a strong Sacred Lord or Demigod."


    The hearts of the nearby elites thumped. However, in this place, the Duanmu Family ruled. Luckily for them, there was Jiu Wuji and some other older experts that tried to resist Zhao Yufei with their power.


    "50-50? The Duanmu Family found these bones." Zhao Yufei''s eyes went cold.


    "Zhe zhe¡­. Zhao Yufei, if we really fight, we have more half-step Kings and peak Great Origin Core Realms. You might be able to survive, but the others of the Duanmu Family¡­" Jiu Wuji said cunningly.


    Zhao Yufei had the strength advantage among the upper echelons, but Jiu Wuji and the Kings had three to four times as many middle-echelon experts. One had to also take into account that some of the half-step Kings that could enter the Divine Illusion Dimension had battle-power comparable to a true King.


    "Then let''s see what happens." Zhao Yufei acted as if she wasn''t scared, and the elder in green next to her didn''t panic either. The elder even smiled confidently.


    Whoosh! Sou!


    Right at this moment in time, a layer of silver light approached.


    "Hm? There seems to be a familiar and powerful aura ahead," Zhao Feng murmured.


    "That''s right, it is familiar indeed," Nan Gongsheng said.


    The two soon reached the outer edge of the tattered palace.


    Even though it was just the outer edge, there were plenty of experts and forces observing this location. In the middle were four Kings and the forces behind them. The strength of any one of these forces surpassed the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and Zhao Feng could hear the words "God Crystal" and "Heaven-grade divine weapon" before he even got close.


    Beng! Bam!


    At this instant, a battle started in the air above the palace. A total of six Kings started to fight above the golden bones, and a purple-robed goddess attracted the most attention. Her every attack would radiate crystal-like True Yuan that easily pushed back Void God Realm Kings, and half-step Kings were unable to even get close.


    Wah! Wah!


    Apart from Jiu Wuji, the other Kings had all been injured.


    "This Zhao Yufei is only at the middle stages of the Void God Realm, but her True Yuan is immensely powerful and thick. She can fight so many Kings the same time¡­ numbers don''t mean anything." Jiu Wuji''s expression kept on flickering.


    At the moment, he didn''t dare to use his advantage in numbers because Zhao Yufei and the elder in green weren''t scared at all. Jiu Wuji guessed that Zhao Yufei most likely had a Little World as well as many powerful hidden moves and secret techniques that she hadn''t used yet.


    Whoosh! Sou!


    The layer of silver approached the forces of the four Kings.


    "Yufei¡­." Zhao Feng murmured as he glanced at the goddess in purple. She wasn''t the young girl from back then. She had now matured to a truly beautiful woman who could charm entire countries.


    "Zhao Yufei!" Nan Gongsheng was surprised. Back at the True Martial Sacred Land, he fought her, so he knew how terrifying she was.


    "Zhao Feng, what do you plan to do?" Nan Gongsheng looked at Zhao Feng with a weird gaze.


    The battle of the six Kings became more intense, and some half-step Kings on the side of Jiu Wuji and company supported from afar.


    "Who''s there!?" The forces behind the four Kings felt Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng approaching.


    "Plunder!" Zhao Feng laughed coldly as he and Nan Gongsheng passed through the groups while inside Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain.


    The closer the items were to the bones, the more valuable they were. Even items within a ten-mile radius were rare and valuable. The resources of the outer edges were mainly controlled by the forces of the four Kings.


    "Argh! My interspatial ring~~~!"


    "Stop, the Star Darkness Fallen Stone I just mined~~~!"


    "Who dares to steal from the Nine Darkness Palace!?"


    The forces of Jiu Wuji and company broke out into chaos as roars and yells sounded in the air.


    Whoosh! Sou!


    However, the beam of silver light flashed through the air, and no one was able to catch up. Those below the half-step King level weren''t even able to even see them properly. Furthermore, every time the silver light descended, a wicked spatial power would appear alongside a physical force as heavy as Mount Tai.


    The half-step Kings weren''t able to do anything against the plundering.


    "Who is it!?" Jiu Wuji and the other Kings looked over with anger, and Zhao Yufei''s eyes glanced over as she exclaimed, "It''s him¡­! Nan Gongsheng?"

 809 Chaotic Battle

    Chapter 809 - Chaotic Battle


    "Where did these two guys come from? They dare to steal from the Nine Darkness Palace?"


    "Space techniques and body-strengthening combination? What a strong pair!"


    The eyes of the experts around the golden bones bulged out when they saw what was happening.


    Sou! Shua! Sou! Shua!


    The layer of silver light contained a spatial domain that quickly flew around, and it would steal some treasures with every flash. It was very fast, and the people inside seemed to be very experienced.


    "Who dares to steal from the Nine Darkness Palace!?" Jiu Wuji in his black battle robes roared as his cold gaze turned around.


    One could see a youth in black and a handsome youth with purple hair under the layer of silver. The youth in black was a Space-type Domain-level King and the other was a body-strengthening expert. It was like adding wings to a tiger.


    Even those from the Duanmu Family were stunned.


    "Yufei? Do you know those two?" the elder in green asked curiously.


    Zhao Yufei was watching the actions of the "Black Clothes, Purple Hair" duo, and her expression wasn''t natural.


    "It''s just a friend. Maybe Nan Gongsheng is purposely doing that to help us." Zhao Yufei smiled and started to attack again and apply more pressure on Jiu Wuji and the other Kings instead of defending.


    "Hahaha, that''s good!" This was exactly the situation the elder in green wished for, and he suddenly increased his offense.


    Jiu Wuji and company instantly faced the counterattacks from Zhao Yufei and the elder in green. Apart from Jiu Wuji, all the other Kings were injured to various degrees.


    Sou! Shua!


    The silver light flashed by the group from the Nine Darkness Palace, then started to plunder from some other forces.


    "Which thieves dare to steal from the Shi Family!?" one of the four Kings roared.


    The Shi Family was one of the Eight Big Families. The spectators clicked their tongues; this "Black Clothes, Purple Hair" duo started to steal from even more forces after plundering from the Nine Darkness Palace. The forces behind these groups were all at least three-star powers, and some were even peak three-stars.


    "Crazy! The Nine Darkness Palace, the Shi Family, the Dong Family, Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace¡­ have all been plundered by those two."


    The spectating experts were shocked by the duo''s actions. The Nine Darkness Palace was a peak three-star superpower, and the Shi Family and the Dong Family were both part of the Eight Big Families, which were even stronger than normal three-star forces. Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace was the ruler of a province, which was a rank higher than the Duke''s Palace of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    Each province of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty was on the same tier as the entire Cang Ocean.


    Normal three-star forces didn''t have the courage to attack four different superpowers at the same time.


    Luckily, the "Black Clothes, Purple Hair" duo only stole from them and didn''t kill anyone. The victims that they stole from didn''t even have the ability to fight back. This wasn''t against the rules of the Divine Illusion Dimension though; all the elites that had entered were competitors.


    "Not bad, not bad." Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng''s wealth started to increase due to the plundering. In half the time it took to make tea, the treasures they obtained surpassed everything they had stolen earlier.


    "Thieves, just wait till I rip you into shreds!" Jiu Wuji and the other Kings were so angry that they were about to explode.


    At the moment, the most valuable resources were still near the golden bones. The treasures that Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng took weren''t as valuable. Furthermore, the two didn''t even kill anyone, they only stole.


    "Jiu Wuji, if this continues, where will the face of our four forces go?" the young King from Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace asked angrily.


    "Split the important treasures first, then we go handle those two thieves." Jiu Wuji couldn''t hold it in either. At this moment in time, the four groups behind them were all being spun around in circles by the "Black Clothes, Purple Hair" duo.


    Shua! Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Jiu Wuji and company didn''t fight with Zhao Yufei anymore, they just headed for the treasures around the golden bones.


    "Heaven-grade divine weapon¡­ Inheritance Sacred Weapon¡­ God Crystals¡­ Spiritual Fruits and pills¡­."


    These treasures were the reason why they were fighting Zhao Yufei, otherwise the four Kings would have already gone to kill the "Black Clothes, Purple Hair" duo.


    "Hehe, do you think it''ll be so simple?" Zhao Yufei smiled and turned into a flaming purple streak of light that charged downward.


    Boom! Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Zhao Yufei''s charge made the four Kings scatter.


    "Hand of the Demonic Sky!" Jiu Wuji stood in the air as one of his arms started to burn and expand into a large black hand of a giant.


    The enormous Hand of the Demonic Sky gave off a Magnificent Power of the Demonic Dao, and it seemed to contain the ability to shatter Heaven and Earth with its dominating force.


    At this moment, Jiu Wuji''s battle-power was raised to an entirely new level that could clash against Zhao Yufei and put up a good fight for the treasures around the golden bones.


    "Don''t even think about it." Zhao Yufei''s skin glittered with a purple light as the strength of her True Yuan reached an entirely new level.


    Boom~~~~!


    The male and female ¨C old expert and young prodigy ¨C made the other Kings retreat.


    Sou! Sou! Hu~~


    Some of the nearby treasures around the golden bones were thrown into the air.


    "Get the treasures!"


    The forces present all charged in, and the half-step Kings that were as strong as actual Kings finally entered the fight. Some Kings who had been watching in secret also charged in.


    However, normal people were unable to even approach Heaven-grade divine weapons, Inheritance Sacred Weapons, or God Crystals. Even though the owner of the golden bones had died, the bones still radiated a powerful force.


    Weng~~


    The golden bones shot out several sharp golden lights that forced back several Kings and many half-step Kings. A bloody gash was left behind on a Void God Realm King. A half-step King was almost sliced in two by a beam of golden light.


    "Watch out! The golden bones belong to an expert that cultivated the element of Metal." Several half-step Kings exclaimed.


    The element of Metal contained sharp attacks. In terms of single-target damage, Metal exceeded the strength of Fire and Lightning.


    "Good chance!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other.


    At this moment, chaos had broken out, and many treasures near the golden bones had been launched into the air. All sorts of attacks caused dust to blow and people to fly around.


    Sou! Shua!


    The layer of silver light quickly flew toward the golden bones.


    Peng! Boom! Boom!


    Even Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain was pushed back by the shockwaves of some clashes and attacks.


    The duo headed toward the center of the chaos where the strength of all the attacks was extremely great, and the shockwave of Zhao Yufei''s and Jiu Wuji''s fighting would reach them.


    From the current situation, it seemed that Zhao Yufei was still suppressing Jiu Wuji and company by herself. In terms of how many treasures they had gathered, Zhao Yufei had more than Jiu Wuji and the other three Kings combined.


    "Substandard God Crystal!" Nan Gongsheng turned into a streak of silver light and successfully managed to take some substandard God Crystals. It was much easier for him compared to others because his spatial domain contained the Evil God Crystal, which could suppress normal substandard God Crystals.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng separated for now. His target wasn''t the substandard God Crystals ¨C he wanted the golden bones themselves. These golden bones contained the pure essence and Intent of Metal. The owner was probably a non-human race that specialized in Metal.


    I''ll have to cultivate the Metal of Wind Lightning eventually, Zhao Feng thought.


    "Ice Imperial War Armor!" He circulated his Ice-Water bloodline, and a layer of blue liquid ran across his body as an ice-blue water armor appeared around his body.


    With the transformed Ice Imperial Spear acting as a suit of armor, Zhao Feng''s defense increased dramatically. Adding on the fact that he had the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and his strong physical force, he could block attacks even from Kings.


    Bo~~


    A ripple of water and lightning surged on the surface of the Ice Imperial War Armor; it could now counterattack just by coming into contact with the enemy.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Yufei felt a familiar aura and glanced at Zhao Feng''s Ice Imperial War Armor and his Water of Wind Lightning. However, this purple-haired youth wasn''t that person. They just had similar bloodlines and techniques.


    "Open!" After his defense increased so dramatically, Zhao Feng circulated his physical force, and his fist burned with a bright red flame that pushed back all the shockwaves and attacks nearby. Even some Kings momentarily retreated. In the process, he grabbed two or three substandard God Crystals on the way.


    He finally got close to the golden bones, which gave off a powerful pressure and could even counterattack.


    "Take!" A golden Earth-grade chain appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, which he tossed around the golden bones.


    Shu! Shu! Shu! Ding! Ding!


    Zhao Feng and everyone nearby were attacked by the golden bones.


    "Everyone, watch out!" The nearby half-step Kings and Void God Realm Kings tried to dodge.


    However, Zhao Feng seemed to have the ability to foresee the attacks, and he dodged most of the counterattack that contained the power of Metal.


    "These bones of Metal are just relying on the remnant Intent contained within them to interact with the Metal Yuan Qi of the outside world." The God''s Spiritual Eye saw the core process.


    Zhao Feng''s soul had reached an incredible level, and the pressure of the golden bones was unable to suppress him.


    Crack!


    Zhao Feng''s golden chains cracked, and the bones were dragged into his ancient metal ring. In the last moment, the little thieving cat used an assassination technique and forcefully pulled in the golden bones.


    "That thief took away the golden bones!" The half-step Kings and Kings were stunned as they felt the pressure suddenly decrease. Even Void God Realm Kings wouldn''t find it easy to take away the golden bones.


    "Don''t let those two get away!" one of the four Kings roared.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had both obtained a lot of items. The former had obtained the golden bones and a few items near them while Nan Gongsheng had taken the most God Crystals ¨C around half of all that were present.

 810 Chase

    Chapter 810 - Chase


    Amidst the chaos, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were able to obtain a profit that made everyone''s eyes go red.


    At this moment, the fight for the treasures around the golden bones was coming to an end.


    "That thief took away the golden bones!"


    "Don''t let those two get away!"


    Some half-step Kings and Void God Realm Kings changed their target to Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng. This wasn''t just due to the amount of wealth they had, it was also due to how they had stolen from everyone earlier; it was a release for all their anger and rage.


    Some King-level figures started to slowly approach Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, forming a semi-circle.


    One of the four Kings charged toward Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was only at the Origin Core Realm, but he had obtained the golden bones and several items nearby. If this wasn''t the time to attack him, then when would it be?


    "Retreat!"


    A pair of Water Lightning wings that seemed alive suddenly extended out behind Zhao Feng.


    Lightning Wings Flying Technique!


    Shua!


    A ripple of Water Lightning was left behind as Zhao Feng flew into the air and met up with a streak of silver light.


    Boom! Bam! Bam!


    A Void God Realm King and several half-step Kings missed their attacks.


    "That brat also specializes in Space-type escape techniques, and he even has a rare type of lightning wings."


    The elites that missed were dumbfounded. Who would have thought that a Small Origin Core Realm could comprehend such profound skills? His reactions, speed, and instincts were all top-tier.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were covered in a layer of silver as they sped toward the edge of the ruined city.


    "That Lightning Wings Flying Technique¡­" Zhao Yufei''s eyes flashed with suspicion and shock as she looked at the fading Water Lightning wings behind Zhao Feng''s back.


    With Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain techniques, the number of experts that could catch up to him could be counted with one hand, and the strongest person ¨C Jiu Wuji ¨C was being stalled by Zhao Yufei.


    After all the plundering and stealing, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were rich.


    "Soul Healing Wood, Water Mother Essence, Wujiangcang Wood, substandard God Crystals¡­ with these resources, my cultivation should be able to break through." Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    Digging and manually finding resources would be difficult if there was only two of them. Plundering and stealing was much faster. However, when there were benefits, there were also downsides; it was easy to offend people by stealing.


    "Brat, don''t move!" A group of people stood at the edge of the ruined city. The leader was a young King in black robes whose eyes were like cold stars. Next to him were several half-step Kings and Great Origin Core Realms, including a pretty girl with blue hair who seemed to come out of a painting.


    "It''s the Jiang Family!"


    "The number one genius of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chen, and the number one beauty of the Jiang Family, Jiang Feixue."


    The nearby forces immediately recognized the group.


    "Brother Jiang Chen, that''s the bastard that stole my Water Mother Essence." The girl with blue hair bit her lips and locked her eyebrows together as she looked at the purple-haired youth with anger. She was the number one beauty of the Jiang Family ¨C Jiang Feixue.


    Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s expressions tightened. They were about to be surrounded.


    Although their battle-power was great, it wasn''t enough to fight against so many Kings.


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye also sensed the forces of the Cao Family and the Ji Family hiding nearby.


    "Cao Yun, he seems to have discovered our location." Ji Lan''s eyes glittered with a dreamy purple, but she was unable to hide the fear and wariness. The injuries left behind by Zhao Feng''s counterattack had created a deep impression in her heart.


    "Don''t do anything. That Jiang Chen is a Domain-level King with strong battle-power," Cao Yun said in a low tone.


    At this moment, the silver light that Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were covered in was blocked.


    "You''re not going anywhere!" An icy silver spear appeared in Jiang Chen''s hand as he created a ripple of faint black ice.


    Weng~~


    Everywhere the faint black light went was transformed into black ashes, which then froze.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Faint black spear lights pierced into Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain, and a layer of faint black ice started to form on the outside of the spatial domain. Although it wasn''t much of a threat, the cold Intent slowed the duo down.


    At the same moment, five or six half-step Kings from the Jiang Family attacked, including the beautiful blue-haired Jiang Feixue. These half-step Kings were either at the King-level or not too far from it.


    Nan Gongsheng was forced to circulate his Magnificent Power and use his spatial secret techniques to redirect or absorb their attacks.


    Bam! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng and Jiang Chen clashed in the air, and their spatial domains smashed together as well, pushing many people back.


    Bam!


    Jiang Chen was pushed back dozens of yards by a strange, wicked purple-silver ripple of light, and his blood started to boil.


    If Nan Gongsheng hadn''t obtained the Evil God Crystal, the chance of him winning would have only been 50-50. Zhao Feng''s heart was as clear as a mirror. The Evil God Crystal had become the center of Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    However, at the same time, the other experts of the Jiang Family increased their offense and tried to stop Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng from escaping. If they were able to stall them for a couple breaths, the other pursuers would be able to catch up.


    "How dare you thieves steal from the imperial family? I shall cut off your heads and hang them on the walls of the ruined city," a cold voice sounded from the other side of the ruins.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The force from the Great Gan Imperials flew over. The leaders were the Thirteenth Prince and the wrinkled elder. Behind them were several half-step Kings.


    "Hahaha¡­. Brats, let''s see where you can run to after angering all of us!"


    The Kings from Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, the Shi Family, the Dong Family, and a bunch of half-step Kings were approaching from different directions. At this moment in time, whether the Jiang Family could stall Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng for just a few breaths was very important.


    "Zhao Feng, what should we do?" Seeing more and more people approaching, Nan Gongsheng''s expression was solemn. Jiang Chen''s strength was almost on par with his own, and there were several experts whose battle-power was King-level. They weren''t aiming to defeat Nan Gongsheng, they just wanted to stall.


    "Finish him off first!" Zhao Feng was decisive as his gaze locked on to Jiang Chen. Under normal situations, Nan Gongsheng would need ten to twenty moves to defeat Jiang Chen, but right now, there were other experts as well.


    "Go!" Nan Gongsheng knew what Zhao Feng meant and turned into a silver streak of light that flashed toward Jiang Chen.


    Lightning Wings Flying Technique! At the same moment, a pair of rippling wings made of Water, Wind, and Lightning formed behind Zhao Feng''s back, and a surge of physical force as heavy as Mount Tai crushed onto Jiang Chen.


    Not good! Jiang Chen''s body became heavy facing the pressure from Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng.


    "Break!" A blood-red flame whistled around Zhao Feng as he circulated the power of his Sacred Lightning Body and punched Jiang Chen.


    Hu~ Hu~ Weng~~


    At the same time, the wings behind Zhao Feng''s back quickly fluttered, and his punch summoned a whirlpool of Water of Wind Lightning.


    "Mystic Spatial Slash!" Nan Gongsheng sent out several sharp silver lights from his palm alongside a wicked purple-and-blood-colored light.


    Shua! Shua! Wah!


    Jiang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood as a gash appeared on his body. One could see the bones inside, and the gash stretched from his shoulder to his stomach.


    Jiang Chen''s face instantly went white, and he fell from the sky.


    It wasn''t that he was a lot weaker than Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, it was just that their combined power was perfect. They both specialized in speed and lightning-quick attacks. Nan Gongsheng''s spatial techniques were extremely troublesome, and his spatial domain restricted the enemy heavily. Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body gave him strong physical strength that could pressure the opponent''s body and blood.


    In addition, the mutated Blood Demon Sun bloodline had extremely powerful explosive strength. When used together with the Sacred Lightning Body and the Wings of Wind and Lightning, he could threaten Kings even at the Small Origin Core Realm.


    There was one more important point; Zhao Feng''s Intent had reached a high level, so he could easily catch Jiang Chen''s flaws.


    Bo~~


    An ice-blue armor appeared around Zhao Feng''s body and rippled with water and lightning.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The counterattacks of all the nearby half-step Kings and Jiang Chen were unable to threaten Zhao Feng. Having chosen the Water of Wind Lightning as the first element, his Sacred Lightning Body was extremely resilient against Water and Ice-elemental attacks.


    "Retreat!" Zhao Feng entered Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain, and they were covered by a layer of silver light that took all attacks head-on as they passed through the Jiang Family.


    "Brother Chen!" Jiang Feixue, the number one beauty of the Jiang Family, quickly went to help Jiang Chen.


    "Those two are not normal." Jiang Chen was still frightened by what happened. "The domain of that youth in black contains a terrifyingly wicked power, and the feeling of that purple-haired youth makes me feel as if I''m facing the Emperor Intent of someone from the older generation."


    Sou! Whoosh!


    Those from the Jiang Family could only watch as the layer of silver flew over them. Apart from Jiang Chen, who was a Domain-level King, no one else was able to critically threaten them.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Right at this moment in time, everyone from Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, the Cao Family, the Ji Family, and all the other forces arrived one after another. They were only one or two breaths away from completely surrounding Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    "Ji Lan, if we attack now, we may be able to stall those two thieves¡­." Cao Yun''s breathing rate quickened. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng teaming up and severely injuring Jiang Chen shocked him and Ji Lan.


    The purple-haired Ji Lan hesitated. Even though she knew that this was the best chance to get Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng to stay behind, Zhao Feng had left a deep impression in her heart. Instinct told her that the left eye of that youth was a nightmare that was not to be easily offended.


    Sou! Shua!


    As the layer of silver light got closer:


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Cao Yun''s and Ji Lan''s heart rates quickened. At this instant, a wicked smile formed on the purple-haired youth''s face as he glanced over, and his left eye turned into a hazy abyss-like purple world of illusions.


    Cao Yun''s and Ji Lan''s hearts shook. The youth''s smile was mysterious, and the purple abyss was like a nightmare that expanded and seemed to devour the world.


    Sou! Whoosh!


    Only after the layer of silver light had disappeared:


    Hu~


    The two acted as if they had just woken up from a nightmare. Their backs were drenched in cold sweat, and they were shocked.

 811 Zhao Yufei’s Suspicions

    Chapter 811 - Zhao Yufei''s Suspicions


    Around the edge of the ruined city, the geniuses and elites of all the forces watched the layer of silver light fly by. Some of the Eight Big Families ¨C the Jiang, Dong, Shi, Cao, and Ji Families ¨C were included in the pursuit, even though the Cao and Ji Families didn''t actually attack. Apart from them, there was also Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace as well as the members of the peak three-star superpower, the Nine Darkness Palace. Even the Thirteenth Prince of the Great Gan Imperials were involved.


    Despite all those groups chasing them, the "Black Clothes, Purple Hair" duo had managed to escape.


    "What is the background of that ''Black Clothes, Purple Hair'' duo? How did they manage to offend so many forces at once?"


    Some nearby spectating experts were stunned. After all, all those elites came from superpowers of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "Ji Lan, Cao Yun¡­ why didn''t the two of you stop them?" Jiang Chen questioned.


    A moment ago, when Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng broke past the resistance of the Jiang Family, they passed by the ambush points of the Cao and Ji Families. If Ji Lan and Cao Yun ¨C two Void God Realm Kings ¨C managed to stall them for another breath or two, the pursuers would have caught up and surrounded them.


    At this instant in time, everyone''s gazes landed on Ji Lan and Cao Yun. Sweat started to appear on their foreheads as they seemed to finally wake up.


    "You can''t blame us for that," Ji Lan said bitterly as she remembered the gaze of that purple-haired youth''s left eye.


    "We were hit by that purple-haired youth''s mental energy technique¡­?" Cao Yun''s heart shook, and Ji Lan remained silent, as if in agreement.


    At the last moment, they hesitated for a moment about whether to stop Zhao Feng or not because the enmity between them still wasn''t too big.


    "Impossible!"


    "Ridiculous! That purple-haired thief is only at the Small Origin Core Realm. How can his eye-bloodline affect a Void God Realm King?"


    The experts didn''t believe him. His excuse wasn''t very convincing.


    "That is reality." Ji Lan''s face went cold as she started to talk in an unhappy tone, "My Purple Star Eyes was injured by the counterattack of his eye-bloodline. I''ve realized that the purple-haired youth is actually the one in charge."


    Hearing that, more suspicions arose.


    "That purple-haired youth is only at the Small Origin Core Realm. You really think he would be the leader?"


    "I don''t believe that two Kings could be affected by a thief at the Small Origin Core Realm," the Thirteenth Prince snickered coldly.


    Most of the people didn''t believe Ji Lan, while another portion half-believed her.


    "Hmph, don''t blame me for not warning you when something bad happens to you." Ji Lan was too disdainful to explain.


    "What happened¡­? I didn''t even have the courage to attack him¡­." Cao Yun took a deep breath. He knew that he had been affected by Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline, but he didn''t know the details very well because his memory was slightly blurry.


    "It''s very simple." Ji Lan let out a long breath and spoke with a sigh, "That Zhao Feng successfully used the flaws in our minds to control our emotions."


    What!? Cao Yun''s heart shook as he thought about it, and he realized that that was indeed what happened. They were extremely wary and cautious of Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, and they were hesitating about whether to attack them or not. Furthermore, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had severely injured Jiang Chen in an instant, shocking Cao Yun and Ji Lan. Apart from that, Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline had already counterattacked and injured Ji Lan in the past.


    The two weren''t very confident or courageous. There was quite an impression left in their hearts. Zhao Feng used the flaws in their minds to affect their emotions with that wicked smile. During the entire process, the two were wary and scared. They lacked the courage to attack.


    Hence the current situation. The two could only watch as Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng escaped, unable to attack.


    "We indeed missed our chance. If we were more decisive, we may have stalled those two," Cao Yun couldn''t help but say regretfully.


    Of course, the two became even warier of Zhao Feng now. They felt that he was rather terrifying.


    Whoosh!


    A strong surge of Magnificent Power from an expert of the Demonic Dao descended on this area.


    "\What''s going on? How did those two thieves escape?" Jiu Wuji flew over.


    At this moment, the fight for the important treasures around the golden bones had finished. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were the biggest winners ¨C Jiu Wuji and company had been toyed with.


    "This is what happened¡­" Jiang Chen summarized what happened.


    After knowing that the "Black Clothes, Purple Hair" duo had escaped unharmed, Jiu Wuji was filled with anger.


    "Those two thieves managed to escape with this many of you?" Jiu Wuji tried to suppress the anger and rage in his heart.


    It was already enough that he had been defeated by Zhao Yufei from the Duanmu Family, but at the end of the day, her Spiritual Race bloodline was too strong. However, two unknown brats came out of nowhere and created chaos for the Nine Darkness Palace by stealing a bunch of their resources. Jiu Wuji was unable to suppress this anger.


    "The two thieves had unique abilities and shocking speed. We need to think of a plan to deal with them," an old, calm voice sounded.


    The owner of the voice was the wrinkled elder next to the Thirteenth Prince. In terms of strength, he wasn''t much weaker than Jiu Wuji, but Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had already escaped by the time he arrived.


    Within a few moments, the leaders of all the forces Zhao Feng had stolen from had gathered together.


    "Very good. Now that everyone''s here, we should discuss how to pursue and kill those two thieves."


    A faint smile appeared on Jiu Wuji''s and the wrinkled elder''s faces as they looked at each other.


    In reality, the reason why these elites wanted to pursue and kill the "Black Clothes, Purple Hair" duo was not just because of the treasures they had obtained, it was also due to the fact that everyone here had lost face.


    One had to know that these elites came from the lord dynasty''s superpowers, and the Thirteenth Prince was an imperial. If news of this incident spread, then where would the face of the imperials, the big families, and the peak three-star forces go?


    However, the Cao and Ji Families didn''t participate because the enmity between them and Zhao Feng wasn''t that big. The Duanmu Family didn''t participate either.


    The Duanmu Family was also one of the biggest winners, so it wasn''t a surprise that they didn''t participate in chasing after the "Black Clothes, Purple Hair" duo. However, those that paid attention would realize that the duo hadn''t attacked the Duanmu Family.


    Was it because they were scared of Zhao Yufei? Some people didn''t believe that the thieves, whose courage was as high as the sky, would be scared of anything. Ji Lan was one of them.


    Two days later, after the ruined city was fully uncovered, all the forces left.


    That''s weird. Those people seem to have some common goal¡­? Zhao Yufei thought.


    Jiu Wuji, the Thirteenth Prince, and company had all left together, and no one knew what they were planning.


    "Yufei, we''ve received news that Jiu Wuji and company have gathered the experts of several forces to chase after those two thieves." The green-robed elder flew over.


    "Chasing after them?" A hint of worry appeared on Zhao Yufei''s face.


    "Yufei, are you worried about your friend''s safety? According to news from Ji Lan, the strength of the black-clothed youth is extremely great, and the ability of that purple-haired youth is even more unique. He has a Soul eye-bloodline that even defeated Ji Lan and Cao Yun¡­." the green-robed elder continued.


    Hearing that, Zhao Yufei''s expression changed slightly as a light flashed through her eyes.


    "Purple hair¡­ Soul-based eye-bloodline? Is all of this just a coincidence?" Zhao Yufei was lost in deep thought and became more suspicious. However, the age, appearance, and techniques of that purple-haired youth were very different from the one in her memories.


    Furthermore, he wasn''t the only person with purple hair and a Soul eye-bloodline. For example, the Ji Family; most of their eye-bloodlines were Soul-based, and they had purple hair.


    "Brother Feng¡­ could it be that you have entered the Divine Illusion Dimension as well?" A dreamy expectation appeared in Zhao Yufei''s eyes. If Nan Gongsheng could enter, why couldn''t Zhao Feng?


    "Let''s go," Zhao Yufei decided.


    "Yufei, what are you planning¡­?" the green-robed elder asked.


    "I need to find Nan Gongsheng¡­ and ask him something," Zhao Yufei said decisively, and no one was left in the ruined city.


    Amidst a valley in the Divine Illusion Dimension:


    Shua!


    A layer of silver light landed amongst a field of trees.


    Hu~


    The youth in black let out a long breath as excitement flashed through his tired eyes. "We ran for quite a while, and you were extremely cautious. The rewards this time are extremely plentiful¡­."


    Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng both had smiles on their face. They had gone crazy and plundered from many forces in the chaotic battle.


    They immediately cleared out an area in the depths of the forest, then started to organize their rewards.


    Nan Gongsheng''s main reward was the substandard God Crystals. He had obtained a couple dozen alone, and they had all been put into his spatial dimension to feed the Evil God Crystal.


    Zhao Feng felt that Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain had been strengthened by quite a bit in the past few days, and the quality and element of his True Yuan had changed. Nan Gongsheng''s power kept on increasing, and a slightly wicked aura radiated from him, but luckily, with the power of the Mind Calming Pearl, only a portion of his strength had been affected. His mind and Intent hadn''t been obviously affected.


    Amidst the forest, Zhao Feng cleared out his spoils of war. Although he didn''t obtain many God Crystals, he still got a few. However, the golden bones he had obtained contained a strong surge of the laws of Metal.


    When Zhao Feng started cultivating the Metal of Wind Lightning, these golden bones would be of great use.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng found several items on the golden bones.


    On the waist was a golden-gray belt that wasn''t very eye-catching. On its skull was a scarlet-golden nose ring, and the golden bones also had a pair of green leather shoes on its feet that were covered in ancient, detailed carvings.

 812 Heading Forward Together

    Chapter 812 - Heading Forward Together


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly appeared and inspected the items on the golden bones. There was a golden-gray belt, a scarlet-golden nose ring, and a green pair of leather shoes.


    "Little thieving cat, choose what you want," Zhao Feng smiled and said. He could tell from the little thieving cat''s actions that it was at least interested in some of the items.


    Because Zhao Feng was cultivating the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body technique, he didn''t need as many treasures as before. He already had the Sky Locking Bow and the strengthened Ice Imperial Spear, which were more than enough.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat flipped in the air and landed on the golden-gray belt, then tugged it gently with its paws. A wisp of silver-gray light merged from the little thieving cat''s paws into the golden-gray belt.


    Weng~~


    The golden-gray belt suddenly changed shape and turned into an agile, dark golden dragon-snake whip that twisted in the air.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws, and the dark golden dragon-snake whip turned into a golden figure dozens of yards long and roared. The invisible force radiating from it made the hearts of the nearby beasts jump. The figure of the golden dragon was about to charge into the sky and cause Heaven and Earth to change.


    "This dark golden dragon-snake whip''s inheritance is probably not weaker than the Qiankun Sword¡­." Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but feel shocked.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat was extremely satisfied and waved its paw, causing the golden dragon image to condense into a dark golden necklace that wrapped itself around the little thieving cat''s neck. It was obvious that this dark golden dragon whip had the ability to change shape.


    "Thieving cat, you know how to choose well¡­." Zhao Feng pulled its ears. Without a doubt, the little thieving cat had taken the most valuable treasure away.


    There were now two items remaining ¨C the nose ring and the shoes.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze landed on the dark green shoes, and he tried to put them on.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng put on the shoes and felt himself become much more agile even without circulating his True Yuan.


    Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng merged his Water of Wind Lightning True Yuan into the dark green shoes.


    Boom!


    A green flame shot out from the dark green shoes and instantly pushed Zhao Feng out almost a hundred yards.


    "What speed!" Zhao Feng jumped up in fright.


    From the first glance, it seemed like this pair of shoes was a support-type treasure that didn''t have much battle-power, but it was almost at the Heaven-grade.


    Zhao Feng was very satisfied with the abilities of the shoes. With this pair of shoes, Zhao Feng''s speed increased dramatically, and he could increase the explosiveness of his Sacred Body''s physical force as well as his mutated bloodline. Furthermore, this pair of shoes had a certain protective ability that could increase the user''s speed dramatically in order to avoid dangerous situations.


    Zhao Feng was still trying to work out all its abilities. He felt that this pair of shoes was connected to the Heaven''s Legacy Race in some way, at least in terms of how it was made.


    "Nan Gongsheng, the nose ring is yours." Zhao Feng laughed and gave the nose ring to the slightly dazed Nan Gongsheng.


    Since they were all treasures from the golden bones, the ability of the nose ring shouldn''t be bad.


    Nan Gongsheng accepted the nose ring and touched it with his nose, then merged his King Intent and True Yuan inside. A light suddenly flashed in his eyes as he glanced toward Zhao Feng with gratitude. He then quickly put on the nose ring.


    The originally-handsome nose looked more wicked after putting on the scarlet-golden nose ring.


    "Nan Gongsheng, what abilities does the nose ring have¡­?" Zhao Feng''s face twitched. The moment after he put on the nose ring, Nan Gongsheng''s aura changed.


    "This nose ring might not be of much use to you, but for me, it''s like giving me a new bloodline ability." Nan Gongsheng smiled mysteriously but didn''t explain.


    Zhao Feng guessed that the nose ring was also a support-type treasure.


    In reality, the three items were all support-type treasures that were worn by the owner of the golden bones.


    Within the forest, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng became silent as they started to cultivate in peace. Due to their great fortune in the Divine Illusion Dimension, their strength was rising rapidly.


    "Soul Healing Wood." A green piece of wood appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. It was covered in delicate carvings and gave off a pure Wood-elemental soul undulation.


    Zhao Feng circulated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to absorb the lifeforce within the wood. With the help of this wood, Zhao Feng''s soul was recovering. In terms of mastery of the soul, Zhao Feng surpassed some peak Emperors; he was only below the Emperor of Death.


    Zhao Feng then started to multi-task.


    "Core of a King." A dark purple Crystal Core appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. It was the Crystal Core of the Purple Wind Lightning Lion.


    The element of this core was almost perfect. Since he was comprehending the Water of Wind Lightning right now, he only lacked a Water-elemental treasure.


    "Water Mother Essence." Zhao Feng revealed a smile as a ball of water the size of a fist floated in front of him.


    The Water Mother Essence came from the number one beauty of the Jiang Family, Jiang Feixue.


    This all meant that Zhao Feng''s Water of Wind Lightning no longer had a bottleneck. All he needed was time.


    Time quickly flew by, and Zhao Feng''s cultivation was rising steadily. On top of that, an invisible soul undulation radiated from Zhao Feng. The core of Zhao Feng''s soul was extremely strong, and even Nan Gongsheng was shocked.


    Looks like Zhao Feng indeed took over another body and revived, Nan Gongsheng thought.


    Back in the Cang Ocean, the appearance of the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor shocked the three Spiritual Zones, but no one expected this prodigy to fall so quickly.


    "Zhao Feng, didn''t you kill the Emperor of Death? Apparently, you appeared in the three Sacred Lands afterward. Why did you¡­?" Nan Gongsheng couldn''t suppress his curiosity. He could only look up to Zhao Feng''s legend.


    "The Emperor of Death used the Cursed Words of Death before he died. Even Sacred Lords and Demigods would find it troublesome to resolve. I had to pay a heavy price in order to escape from it¡­." Zhao Feng murmured as he cultivated.


    Nan Gongsheng''s heart shook. Not many people knew such a secret. If it weren''t for the Cursed Words of Death, what level would Zhao Feng have reached by now?


    Nan Gongsheng knew a little bit about the Words of Death. It was already a miracle Zhao Feng could escape from the Cursed Words of Death.


    Now that Zhao Feng had revived and started to re-cultivate, it wasn''t hard to imagine how he would sweep across everything in his path. Nan Gongsheng was evenly slightly excited that he was able to work together with the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor that shook the Cang Ocean.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t worry, I won''t hold you back." Nan Gongsheng took a deep breath. He could already see that Zhao Feng''s road of re-cultivation was unstoppable. There were probably not many geniuses even in the lord dynasty that could be compared to Zhao Feng.


    Even Zhao Yufei, who had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race, seemed to admire and rely on Zhao Feng, and she had already grown to a level that even Nan Gongsheng felt helpless against.


    Since the situation earlier was too chaotic, or maybe due to other reasons, Zhao Feng didn''t tell Zhao Yufei that it was him.


    In the blink of an eye, three days passed.


    Crack!


    The Soul Healing Wood in Zhao Feng''s hand broke into several pieces.


    "My soul has stabilized at the early stages of the Void God Realm, and it''s close to normal Domain-level Kings." Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Because his soul-strength recovered, his Emperor Intent had recovered by 20-30%. In terms of Intent, Zhao Feng was comparable to a Peak-tier King. No one in the Divine Illusion Dimension could be compared to his mastery of the Soul Dao.


    A while later:


    Weng~~


    A whirlpool of water appeared in the air above Zhao Feng''s head and summoned the power of Wind, Water, and Lightning.


    "Peak Small Origin Core Realm." A smile formed on Zhao Feng''s face as he nodded his head.


    His Wind Lightning Technique had reached the 6th level, and due to continuous usage of resources, his cultivation was rising rapidly. The Water Mother Essence in his hand had faded in color by 30-40%.


    He still needed some more time to break through to the Great Origin Core Realm, but apart from the fact that he didn''t have enough True Yuan, the strength of it was already slightly higher than some early-stage Great Origin Core Realms.


    70-80% of the Ancient Dream Realm fruit he had eaten a couple days ago was now digested. His state of existence and his Sacred Lightning Body were both becoming stronger.


    "I just need a little bit more for my Sacred Lightning Body to break through to the peak fourth level. At that time, my physical body will be unparalleled against those at the Origin Core Realm, and I''ll be able to clash even against Kings for a short while." There was a glint of excitement in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    In this period of time, Nan Gongsheng also became stronger.


    Weng~ Hu!


    A wicked silver-purple light swarmed around Nan Gongsheng, and wicked power radiating from him made the bodies of nearby beasts tremble.


    Shua!


    Nan Gongsheng''s hair started to glitter with purple, and a purple-and-blood-colored crescent moon symbol formed on his forehead, just like the symbol of the Evil God.


    "Purple hair?" Zhao Feng paused slightly. Now that both of them had purple hair, the duo looked perfect.


    Just as Zhao Feng was about to try to break through to the peak fourth level of the Sacred Lightning Body:


    "Hmm?" Nan Gongsheng''s scarlet-golden nose ring twitched slightly.


    "Zhao Feng, the auras of some people from before seem to be closing in¡­." Nan Gongsheng said.


    Was that the ability of Nan Gongsheng''s nose ring? Zhao Feng was surprised, but he inspected the surroundings with his God''s Spiritual Eye.


    "Retreat!" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped. His left eye caught sight of many figures trying to surround the area.


    Shua! Shua!


    A wicked silver-purple light leapt out of the forest.


    "Thieves, don''t resist! Get ready to be captured!"


    As the two were just about to escape from the forest, a King and several half-step Kings charged over with a roar. The King was a youth that came from Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, and he had participated in attacking Zhao Yufei.


    "You''re not going anywhere!" The youth charged over from the side.


    "Fuck off!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng roared. The two didn''t even look back as they threw out a punch and a palm respectively from within the layer of silver-purple light.


    Bam! Bam!


    A layer of bright red light from the punch and a beam of silver-purple light from the palm enveloped the area.


    Wah!


    The young King was sent flying. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his face became pale, and he was unable to get up for a long time.


    The half-step Kings were all pushed away by the shockwave before they could even get close.


    "The two thieves have both dyed their hair purple¡­ and they''ve become so much stronger!"


    The expressions of some pursuers changed dramatically as they exclaimed.

 813 Defeating the Enemy

    Chapter 813 - Defeating the Enemy


    Shua! Shua!


    The layer of silver-purple light flew faster and faster toward the rising valleys in the distance.


    After breaking past the youthful King from Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, no one else nearby was able to stop Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng at all. Not many of the chasing Kings were as fast as Nan Gongsheng.


    "They''re too fast¡­!"


    The Kings from the Shi and Dong Families chased for a while before watching the layer of silver-and-purple light fly further and further away.


    The difficulty of making a King who was talented in the laws of Space stay behind was several times more difficult than any other type of King.


    "How did our ambush fail!?" a deep, angry roar sounded from the other side of the forest.


    Sou!


    A tall bald male with black battle robes flew across the air and radiated a strong Demonic Dao aura. This newcomer was Jiu Wuji from the Nine Darkness Palace.


    The Thirteenth Prince and the wrinkled elder soon arrived as well.


    "They sensed our ambush at the last critical moment¡­." the wrinkled elder sighed.


    Their group had many people of every talent, including trackers. After several days of analysis and searching, the forces had confirmed where Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were and tried to surround them, but they actually sensed it at the last moment.


    Elsewhere, in the clouds above a valley.


    "Nan Gongsheng, that ability of your nose ring isn''t bad." Zhao Feng was surprised.


    In the beginning, Zhao Feng wasn''t very interested in the nose ring because it didn''t fit his appearance.


    Nan Gongsheng''s nose ring gave him a super sense of smell, which could be used to track treasures as well as people. The nose ring could even block poison.


    It was because of this nose ring that Nan Gongsheng was able to smell the pursuers. With the addition of Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye, they were able to find the best route to escape.


    This was the same as giving Nan Gongsheng a supportive bloodline ability.


    Of course, the nose ring wasn''t very useful to Zhao Feng because the supportive ability of his God''s Spiritual Eye was even stronger. The only difference was that one was sight-based and the other was smell-based.


    "Where do you think you''re going you thieves~~~!?" A surge of demonic Magnificent Power appeared in the valley behind them, and the duo''s hearts both shook.


    Sou!


    A bald male with a pair of black flaming demonic wings charged over.


    What speed! Solemnness appeared on Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s faces.


    This Jiu Wuji was indeed worthy of being an elite King. He was very strong, and his secret techniques were powerful.


    At the moment, Jiu Wuji had the advantage in speed, and he was catching up to Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    "Baldy, you think that you''ll be able to keep us back by yourself?" Nan Gongsheng snickered coldly.


    Indeed, only Jiu Wuji could catch up. The wrinkled elder next to the Thirteenth Prince could probably catch up too, but his mission was to protect the prince.


    "Let''s find out!" Jiu Wuji licked his lips as a gruesome expression covered his face. Although he was an older elite, his true strength could be ranked within the top thirty of the Great Gan Imperial Genius rankings or even higher.


    Hu~ Boom!


    The wings behind Jiu Wuji''s back summoned a storm of black flames that caused the sky nearby to darken. This demonic force contained the power of a Demonic Dao spatial domain, which clashed against Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s bodies shook, and the spatial domain they were inside of started to shake and become unstable. At the same time, a thick black aura tried to erode and squeeze Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain.


    "Not good!"


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng retreated as a great pressure bore down from every direction.


    Although Nan Gongsheng was a rare prodigy that had a Heaven Spiritual Body and a Spatial Spiritual Body, it hadn''t been long since he had formed his spatial domain. On the other hand, Jiu Wuji had a solid foundation, and he had reached a high level of mastery in his skills. The strength of his spatial domain wasn''t weaker than Peak-tier Kings.


    "Hand of the Demonic Sky!" Jiu Wuji roared as one of his arms started to expand and burn, turning into a black hand that seemed to reach the sky.


    Bam~~~!


    The large Hand of the Demonic Sky summoned black flaming clouds that caused Heaven and Earth to shake. His battle-power had reached the Peak-tier King level.


    Bam! Bam!


    Although Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng attacked together, they were still sent flying by the Hand of the Demonic Sky into the mountains below.


    Jiu Wuji had the advantage in terms of spatial domain. His mastery and skill level had all reached the level of a Peak-tier King.


    As of right now, Zhao Feng was just support.


    "Hahaha¡­ you two thieves, I alone am enough to kill both of you!" Jiu Wuji let out a long roar as he charged.


    In reality, Jiu Wuji had the possibility of breaking through to a Peak-tier King ten years ago, but he wanted to increase the chances of him successfully entering the Divine Illusion Dimension, so he limited his cultivation to a Domain-level King. This was because Peak-tier Kings had a very low chance of being able to enter the Divine Illusion Dimension; even four-star powers weren''t confident in being able to send them through.


    "Let''s see how long your secret technique can last." Nan Gongsheng landed on the ground, and the purple crescent moon on his forehead started to blink as his purple hair blew in the wind.


    On the ground, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng ¨C the purple-haired duo ¨C looked at each other.


    "Go!" The two attacked at the same time.


    "Sacred Lightning Body!" Zhao Feng''s bones started to crack as he grew taller, and a metallic blue-silver symbol glittered around his body.


    Boom!


    An arc of lightning-imbued physical force rushed toward Jiu Wuji in the air.


    With the strengthening of his Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng''s physical force could fight against a King for a short amount of time.


    However, that was just the basic level of his strength.


    "Wings of Wind and Lightning!" A pair of Water of Wind Lightning wings summoned a storm, and the Intent radiating from it was incredibly strong.


    His move still wasn''t done yet.


    "Open!" A bright red flame burned around Zhao Feng''s body, making him look like a flaming demonic sovereign.


    After the double power-up, Zhao Feng''s attacks had reached the threshold of a King, even surpassing normal Kings.


    There was still one last step.


    Sou! Boom!


    The green shoes on Zhao Feng''s feet spat out a green flame that suddenly increased his speed.


    With the addition of this speed, Zhao Feng''s explosive power reached a terrifying stage.


    Jiu Wuji only saw a blur as a flaming figure with lightning wings and an indescribable Magnificent Power thundered toward him.


    Peng! Boom~~~~! Boom~~~~!


    The force of Zhao Feng''s punch instantly appeared in front of Jiu Wuji.


    "How is this possible!?" Jiu Wuji''s body became heavy as he swayed in disbelief. The attacks of this youth had passed straight through his spatial domain and the forcefield around him.


    "Break!" With a flash of silver, Nan Gongsheng used his spatial techniques, and a ripple of silver-purple that could crush everything into dust shot out from his palm. On top of that, this attack contained the power of the Evil God Crystal.


    Boom! Boom! Bam! Bam!


    At this instant, Jiu Wuji faced the frenzied counterattacks of Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    "Demonic Sky Force Field!" Jiu Wuji stood proudly in the sky as the air around him started to twist, and space itself seemed to crumble. This powerful forcefield tried to absorb and redirect the attacks.


    Hand of the Demonic Sky! Jiu Wuji waved the black hand, and the black flaming clouds crushed toward Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng once more.


    Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain trembled again, and Zhao Feng''s Sacred Body started to hurt under the crushing of the hand.


    "Hehe, what can one momentary explosive attack do?" Jiu Wuji snickered coldly.


    He guessed that Zhao Feng was most likely a revived King or Emperor. Stealing another body and re-cultivating wasn''t very rare for Void God Realms.


    As long as Jiu Wuji could survive the momentary explosive attack, he would be able to counterattack.


    Bam! Bam!


    Right as Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were at a disadvantage once more and being forced toward the ground by the Hand of the Demonic Sky:


    Sou! Sou!


    The Thirteenth Prince and the wrinkled elder flew toward them.


    "This is the last moment! Let''s see where you can run to~~~!" Smugness appeared in Jiu Wuji''s eyes. As long as reinforcements arrived, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng would be unable to escape.


    "The last blow!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other, then charged toward Jiu Wuji with utmost power.


    "Laughable." Mockery appeared on Jiu Wuji''s face. Too huge of a difference in strength couldn''t be bridged by Intent or skill alone.


    However, Jiu Wuji''s body suddenly froze.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s punch contained not only physical force; there was some kind of bloodline aura that created a weird mental energy.


    "Illusion Maze Domain!"


    Jiu Wuji''s senses were instantly weakened dramatically, and he suddenly lost 40-50% of control over his own power.


    Boom! Boom! Boom~~~~!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng''s extreme attacks passed through the flaws that Jiu Wuji suddenly revealed in his Demonic Sky Force Field.


    Wah!


    Jiu Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered as he struggled out of the Illusion Maze Domain.


    Although Zhao Feng had taken over another body and needed to re-cultivate, he didn''t need to re-master his Soul Dao. Now that his soul-strength had recovered back to the level of a King, the strength of his Illusion Maze Domain already contained a portion of its strength when he was at his peak.


    Miao miao!


    Before Jiu Wuji could react, a golden dragon figure that was dozens of yards long wrapped itself around him.


    "Dammit!"


    Jiu Wuji''s body tightened as a golden-gray whip surrounded him and sent sharp bursts into his body.


    "Die, Baldy!"


    Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s attacks descended once more alongside a powerful Soul Dao domain.


    "Arghhh!" Jiu Wuji screamed and struggled, and he barely managed to get out of the little thieving cat''s golden whip.


    Peng! Bam! Bam!


    Jiu Wuji fell from the air. Intense injuries were left behind on his body. Some of his flesh had even been burnt. It was extremely disgusting.


    "Jiu Wuji lost¡­!" The Thirteenth Prince, the wrinkled elder, and everyone else who were arriving saw this and were stunned.


    At the same moment in time, a stunning figure landed in the forest where Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were moments ago.


    "I''m late¡­. Nan Gongsheng, you''ve got to hold on¡­!"

 814 Zhao Yufei Joining In

    Chapter 814 - Zhao Yufei Joining In


    In the air:


    Boom!


    Jiu Wuji''s tall figure fell from the sky into the valley, causing a cloud of dust to rise into the air.


    It was right at this moment that the Thirteenth Prince and the wrinkled elder arrived.


    Their hearts shook. They both knew Jiu Wuji''s battle-power clearly ¨C only Zhao Yufei could suppress him. It could be said that Jiu Wuji was almost unrivalled against everyone below the Emperor level, and his battle-power wasn''t weaker than some of the most famous Peak-tier Kings.


    "The fight ended so quickly! How did those purple-haired thieves manage to do it?" The wrinkled elder was dazed.


    They just arrived, so they only saw the result, not the process. From their analysis, Jiu Wuji and the purple-haired thieves shouldn''t have been fighting for long.


    Miao!


    A silver-gray cat only slightly bigger than a palm wrapped a golden-gray whip around its neck like a necklace.


    "That cat¡­" The arriving experts all felt weird. The wrinkled elder and the Thirteenth Prince thought that they had seen the little thieving cat participate in a fight between Kings.


    "Retreat!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng sped into the distance with a flash of silver and purple. The thieving cat also disappeared.


    Cough! Cough!


    Jiu Wuji tried to get up a bit. The dust was still falling, and he looked powerless and stunned.


    "Jiu Wuji, with your strength, you shouldn''t have been defeated so badly." Jiang Chen arrived.


    The expressions of the arriving experts were full of shock, and their eyes all twinkled. Under the current situation, no one dared to chase after the purple-haired thieves even if they had the speed to do so.


    "I underestimated that purple-haired youth¡­." Jiu Wuji''s expression was solemn as he told them the process. He didn''t reveal his guesses about Zhao Feng.


    Jiu Wuji had controlled the fight in the beginning, but Zhao Feng''s Soul Dao Domain had turned the tide at the very last moment. Adding on the little thieving cat''s ability to stun, Jiu Wuji was utterly defeated.


    If they fought again, Jiu Wuji still might not win, but he wouldn''t be defeated this badly.


    "Looks like¡­ what Ji Lan said was true. The scary one is the younger one," the wrinkled elder said after some thought.


    The young King from Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace and company all knew how terrifying Jiu Wuji was. Everyone''s attention had been attracted to Nan Gongsheng, who specialized in the laws of Space; they ignored the other purple-haired youth. Reality proved that the one they ignored was the truly terrifying one.


    In the air around the valley, the leaders and elites of several forces gathered together. They had lost confidence in chasing after the purple-haired thieves after this event. After all, the enmity between both sides hadn''t reached the stages where only one could live. However, Jiu Wuji, Jiang Chen, the Thirteenth Prince, and some others were unwilling to give up this easily.


    Sou!


    Eventually, a bright flash of light and a surge of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi appeared.


    "Who''s there!?" all the elites yelled.


    "It''s Zhao Yufei¡­!" The expressions of Jiu Wuji and several other Kings couldn''t help but change.


    Whoosh!


    A slender and elegant goddess in purple landed near the valley.


    Why did Zhao Yufei suddenly come here?


    "Zhao Yufei, the Duanmu Family better not have some sort of relationship with those purple-haired thieves." Jiu Wuji''s expression was ugly as he interrogated.


    Back in the ruined city, the Duanmu Family was the only force that the purple-haired thieves hadn''t stolen from, so they were the biggest winners among all the forces.


    "Purple-haired thieves? They managed to escape from you?" Zhao Yufei asked.


    Hearing that, Jiu Wuji instantly became angry due to embarrassment. Being an older elite, he had basically lost all face; first he lost to Zhao Yufei, then he lost to the purple-haired thieves.


    Some of the other forces'' leaders also had ugly expressions.


    "Sister Yufei!" The purple-golden-robed Thirteenth Prince''s eyes lit up as he immediately came over.


    The wrinkled elder couldn''t help but sigh helplessly. Some people that knew more information revealed understanding looks and started to whisper with each other.


    It wasn''t much of a secret that the Thirteenth Prince liked Zhao Yufei. Their ages were kind of close, and the Thirteenth Prince was deeply attracted to her appearance and aura when he saw Zhao Yufei once in the Great Gan Imperial Capital.


    Zhao Yufei had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race, meaning that her skin was like that of a goddess; she couldn''t be compared to normal females.


    Countless members of Big Families and various prodigies thought of Zhao Yufei as the Goddess of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Among them, the noble Thirteenth Prince was one of the top competitors.


    Although the Thirteenth Prince wasn''t very talented amongst the princes, the current Great Gan Sacred Emperor loved him and had even given him the Sacred Emperor''s Sword.


    "According to what I know, the imperials have asked the Duanmu Family for a marriage, and even the Sacred Emperor has the intention to make the Thirteenth Prince and Zhao Yufei a couple."


    "Really? Will the fallen Duanmu Family reject such a chance?"


    Discussion broke out amongst the group, and some geniuses looked at the Thirteenth Prince with envy and jealousy. It was the dream of countless people to marry such a noble goddess with such a rare bloodline. However, due to differences in status, normal geniuses had no chance at all.


    "Sister Yufei, this is what happened¡­" the Thirteenth Prince excitedly told her what happened when they tried to capture the purple-haired thieves.


    In the past, Zhao Yufei was very emotionless toward him, but this time, she took the initiative to ask, making the Thirteenth Prince overjoyed. Therefore, the Thirteenth Prince told her everything he knew. What made him especially happy was that Zhao Yufei was paying great attention, and a light even flashed through her eyes when a "small cat" was mentioned.


    Brother Feng, have you really appeared? Then why¡­? Joy appeared in Zhao Yufei''s eyes.


    This was something the Thirteenth Prince had never seen before. She was like the girl next door.


    "Zhao Yufei, what are your intentions?" Jiu Wuji asked. Instinct told him that Zhao Yufei cared a lot about the information regarding the purple-haired thieves.


    "Isn''t it obvious? I want to join you in chasing and killing them," Zhao Yufei said coldly.


    "Ahh!?" The nearby elites were all surprised.


    "Kill them? The Duanmu Family has nothing against those two thieves; they even benefitted off them." Jiu Wuji''s face was cold, and some other older elites were also suspicious. There was no logical reason why Zhao Yufei would want to chase after the purple-haired thieves.


    "Jiu Wuji, when you fought with those two thieves, did you sense that the youth in black had a pure God Crystal ¨C not a substandard one ¨C in his spatial domain?" Zhao Yufei smiled and asked.


    Pure God Crystal? Jiu Wuji and company started to think.


    "That''s right, when I fought with the youth in black, I did sense a strong surge of power within his spatial domain," Jiang Chen nodded his head and said.


    Jiu Wuji, Jiang Chen, and the people who had fought with Nan Gongsheng had all felt the aura of the Evil God Crystal.


    "My bloodline is extremely sensitive toward Primal Crystal Stones, and that is a true God Crystal," Zhao Yufei explained.


    Hearing this, the present elites all understood. Apparently, Zhao Yufei had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, which was extremely compatible with Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    True God Crystals were incredibly rare even in the continent zone. Even some Sacred Lords and Demigods would fight over pure God Crystals.


    "Great! With the help of Yufei, I believe we can kill those two thieves." The Thirteenth Prince was overjoyed. He obviously didn''t mind spending more time with the goddess in his heart.


    Although Zhao Yufei was only the step-daughter of the Duanmu Family''s Grand Elder, she had the noble bloodline of the Spiritual Race, which any force would like to marry.


    "With the addition of Lady Yufei, the possibility of success will increase dramatically." Jiang Chen nodded his head.


    The number one beauty of the Jiang Family, Jiang Feixue, started to talk with Zhao Yufei. They had seen each other before.


    With the addition of Zhao Yufei, every force present became much more confident, and with the attractiveness of the Evil God Crystal, the pursuers increased.


    Zhao Yufei, Jiu Wuji, and the other Kings started to gather together and discuss.


    Brother Feng¡­ I will find you, Zhao Yufei decided. She believed that, during the last couple years, Zhao Feng should have already confirmed whether Liu Qinxin was dead, so he would now return to her side.


    In the air above a sea of trees, a streak of silver-purple light flew with two figures inside it.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng let out a breath as they glanced back. Zhao Feng was extremely weak due to his limited cultivation. Utilizing explosive battle-power required a lot of energy and bloodline power.


    "If Jiu Wuji is already so strong, then how strong is Zhao Yufei?" Nan Gongsheng murmured.


    Back in the True Martial Sacred Land, he had fought Zhao Yufei to a draw, but now, she had already surpassed him.


    "Nan Gongsheng, with your current growth rate, you will be able to reach the peak of geniuses in the continent zone. In the fight just now, you didn''t even use your Qiankun Sword or your other cards." Zhao Feng drank a sip of spiritual liquid before shaking his head with a smile.


    Jiu Wuji was an old elite that could be ranked within the top thirty on the Imperial Genius rankings.


    Nan Gongsheng was silent for a while and started to think. How would Zhao Feng at his peak fare against the top prodigies of the Imperial Genius rankings?


    "Let''s continue following the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon."


    Zhao Feng chose a specific route, and he guessed that, because Jiu Wuji was severely injured, the other forces should have stopped chasing after them. However, what he didn''t know was that Zhao Yufei had joined them, so the pursuers had not only not given up, they actually expanded and became even stronger.

 815 Imperial Genius Rankings, 9th Place

    Chapter 815 - Imperial Genius Rankings, 9th Place


    Two days later, near a waterfall above a bay, two youths sat in front of the waterfall and cultivated quietly. They both had purple hair, which was blowing in the wind.


    "Crystal Core of a King¡­. Water Mother Essence¡­." Two treasures appeared in Zhao Feng''s left and right hand respectively.


    The Water orb had faded in color by 40-50%, but the Crystal Core of the King still had the majority of its light remaining.


    "After I completely use the Water Mother Essence, I might be able to break through to the Great Origin Core Realm," Zhao Feng murmured.


    In reality, the strength of his True Yuan had already reached that level. All that differed was the quantity. As of right now, the strength of his True Yuan was actually even slightly stronger than normal Great Origin Core Realms. Combined with his powerful Intent, his battle-power was very high, he just couldn''t fight for very long.


    Half a day later:


    "Hmm?"


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng opened their eyes almost at the exact same time. Nan Gongsheng''s nose ring twitched slightly and Zhao Feng''s left eye squinted into the distance.


    "Those people¡­ still haven''t given up?"


    Zhao Feng''s expression was grim and Nan Gongsheng''s expression was also ugly.


    For the moment, the pursuers hadn''t found their location yet, but Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng could already sense them.


    "Should we go over there and slay a few of them in order to teach them a lesson?" Nan Gongsheng''s face went cold as the purple-and-blood-colored crescent moon on his forehead twinkled.


    Zhao Feng shook his head; "Those people have already witnessed our strength and yet still dare to chase after us. This means that they definitely have something to rely on." Zhao Feng was more cool-headed.


    Earlier, they managed to defeat Jiu Wuji because he underestimated them, but no matter what anyone said, they were just two people. Unless they had battle-power comparable to Zhao Yufei, who could defeat Jiu Wuji and all the other Kings by herself, they wouldn''t be able to do anything against their entire group


    "Retreat!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng merged into the depths of the bay.


    "Zhao Feng, when can we start to kill everyone?" Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but ask.


    Although the Evil God Crystal had allowed him to become stronger rapidly, it affected his mind.


    "When my Sacred Lightning Body reaches the 5th level and I recover 50% of my Emperor Intent¡­. At that moment in time, these pursuers will just be a group of ants." A light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    The main reason he had entered the Divine Illusion Dimension was for resources. Fighting against these other forces right now wasn''t a good choice.


    "Emperor Intent¡­?" Nan Gongsheng''s heart shook. He could imagine that, when Zhao Feng''s Emperor Intent recovered by 50%, the legend of the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor would reappear.


    Of course, the recovery of his Intent was based on his soul-strength. Zhao Feng urgently needed Soul Dao resources, and normal Soul Dao items weren''t of much use to him.


    Sou! Shua!


    The silver-purple light that enclosed them followed the aura of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s remnant aura is becoming stronger. After this dragon broke through its seal¡­ it seems to have a clear goal." Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    At this instant, Nan Gongsheng could also track the serpent dragon by using his nose ring.


    They met a lot of strong beasts on the way, including King beasts. Sometimes, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng didn''t want to cause trouble, so they actually needed to go around them.


    Some beasts had unique abilities, and some appeared in hordes. Even a giant group wouldn''t want to face them, let alone a duo.


    At a certain moment in time, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng flew to an area where there were a bunch of mounds.


    "Wait!" Nan Gongsheng''s expression changed as he smelled something, and Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye started to inspect the hard mound below.


    Boom!


    A strong surge of gravity appeared, and their blood boiled. Even the Domain-level King Nan Gongsheng felt heavy. Normal Great Origin Core Realms would have instantly fallen to the ground and shatter into pieces.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The mound started to shake, and a large mound monster appeared. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were like children in front of the mound monster.


    If it weren''t for the fact that Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was close to the peak fourth level, the pressure alone would have been able to make him cough out blood.


    Wu~~ Roar~~


    The mound monster roared, and hatred appeared in its eyes as it waved a large stone pole toward Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    "Dodge!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng retreated quickly in a flash of silver and purple, but the mound monster seemed to have a gravity domain, which slowed them down as if they were in mud. Even Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain was restricted to a certain degree.


    Crack!


    The mound monster waved the stone pole and slammed it into the ground, creating a deep chasm.


    "Sacred Body Physical Force!" Zhao Feng glittered with silver and blue as a dominating power and a bright red flame surged from his fist toward the mound monster.


    A silver-purple spatial blade formed in Nan Gongsheng''s palm, which slashed toward the mound monster.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s bloodline and physical combination attack seemed like it landed on a metal wall. The mound monster didn''t move at all; only a small scorch mark was left behind.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Nan Gongsheng''s attack only cut off a layer of stone.


    The terrifying defense of the mound monster made them take in a cold breath.


    "So, it''s a Mound King."


    A pair of lightning wings extended across Zhao Feng''s back as his green shoes shot out a beam of fire.


    Sou! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng instantly flew out of the range of the Mound King''s gravity domain.


    Beng~~~!


    The place where Zhao Feng was just standing was destroyed by a large stone pole. Even Kings would have been crushed into meat paste.


    Shua!


    At the same time, Nan Gongsheng used a spatial technique to escape.


    Normal Kings would''ve been killed, but luckily, they both had unique abilities.


    "The Mound King''s defense is almost unparalleled against those at the same rank¡­."


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng met up again in the sky.


    Back in the day, Zhao Feng met a similar mound monster in the Floating Crest Palace, but its bloodline and strength were much weaker ¨C only at the Origin Core Realm. However, for the Zhao Feng at that time, the Origin Core Realm mound monster was unbeatable.


    Wu~ Roar~~


    The mound monster on the ground was filled with hatred, and the duo was surprised. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng soon discovered a pile of mound monster corpses. Many of the corpses were even bigger than the one they were fighting.


    "There''s five Mound King bodies here, and they all died at the same time¡­!" Nan Gongsheng''s expression changed dramatically. He and Zhao Feng would need to pay a heavy price to kill just one Mound King.


    "From the looks of it, one person did all that," Zhao Feng analyzed after inspecting it with his God''s Spiritual Eye.


    This analysis shook Nan Gongsheng''s heart. One person had easily finished off five Mound Kings? What kind of level had that person reached?


    "The attacker''s battle-power is comparable to an Emperor at the least." Zhao Feng went one step further with his analysis.


    He then found a pair of human footprints nearby and guessed that the person was most likely from the outside world.


    "Could that person have the same goal as us?" Nan Gongsheng''s expression was solemn.


    They kept progressing forward, and Nan Gongsheng smelt that the Mound King killer was also following the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    However, that was to be expected. Someone whose battle-power was comparable to an Emperor was obviously very courageous and skilled.


    Sou! Whoosh!


    They continued forward without giving up on chasing the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Right at this moment:


    Sou!


    A bright Lightning sword-light shot out from the other side of the mounds.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng felt an aura that was even stronger than Jiu Wuji''s. The cultivation of this person was close to the Peak-tier King level.


    "You people, quickly leave¡­!" A handsome male in purple-and-green battle robes appeared from within the lightning. He held a green Lightning sword, and the aura from it wasn''t weaker than Nan Gongsheng''s Qiankun Sword.


    Zhao Feng felt that the appearance of this man was familiar.


    Whoosh!


    The purple-and-green-robed male tripped in the air, and blood was leaking from his mouth.


    "Leave? Why?" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng both had weird expressions; this person''s aura and weapon made them wary.


    Boom!


    An invisible surge of gravity crushed the injured male.


    "Mound King?" The purple-and-green-robed male''s expression changed slightly. As he was warning Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, the Mound King below ambushed him.


    "Sky Lightning Nine Tribulation Slash!" The male in purple-and-green battle robes slashed out with his green Lightning sword, creating an arc of lightning that lit up the dim sky.


    Crack!


    The Mound King was sliced in two and burnt.


    "What strength!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other in shock. Which force was this purple-and-green-robed male from that he had such strong battle-power?


    "The nonhuman genius from the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty who''s ranked 9th on the Imperial Genius rankings is nearby. You two should quickly run away so you''re not dragged into this."


    The purple-and-green-robed male wiped the blood off his mouth, then turned into an arc of lightning that sped through the air.


    9th on the Imperial Genius rankings¡­ Wei Jing? Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were sure that the purple-and-green-robed male was being chased, and the direction he was heading in was the opposite direction of where the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was heading.


    Right at this instant, blue rain started to fall from the sky as lightning snaked through the sky.


    "Hahaha¡­ Ninth Prince, let''s see where you can run to!" A tall nonhuman male with blue scales could be seen in the rain.


    "Arghhh!" Screams sounded from all the imperials that were still within range of the rain. Some elites started to freeze under the rain and then erode into a puddle of cold liquid.

 816 Let’s Run a Bit More

    Chapter 816 - Let''s Run a Bit More


    Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s expressions changed dramatically when they saw the blue rain that covered the sky. Those below the Void God Realm would be unable to last very long against this eroding rain, and it seemed like it was just a natural domain of the nonhuman prodigy Wei Jing.


    His natural talent creates such strong rain¡­. Zhao Feng sighed in his heart as he looked at the nonhuman male who had scales and a pair of blue horns. He seemed to be similar to the serpent-dragon races. This nonhuman Wei Jing''s bloodline might even have some similarities with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Hu~~ Shua! Shua!


    The range of the rain was very wide, and it started to approach Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    "Let''s retreat for a bit."


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng headed in the opposite direction of the rain. At this moment, they couldn''t care any less about following the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    The nonhuman Wei Jing''s cultivation had reached the Peak-tier King level; this was the genius with the highest cultivation that Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had seen so far.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng at his peak was only at the middle stage of the Void God Realm.


    On top of that, Wei Jing had a unique bloodline and status. He couldn''t be measured just by his cultivation.


    Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The rain filled the sky behind Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng. Ice started to form on the mounds below, transforming them into holes.


    The mounds were extremely tough, and they could give birth to monsters such as the Mound Kings, and yet the blue rain melted these rocks like they were tofu.


    "So, that''s the strength of the 9th-ranked Imperial Genius¡­?" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng felt their backs go cold as they retreated.


    The Great Gan Imperial Genius rankings only recorded the top five hundred, and it didn''t include geniuses only within the borders of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty; it also included some of the geniuses from the superpowers nearby.


    The blue rain was not only dangerous because of its eroding abilities, it also radiated a coldness that could affect its surroundings, which decreased Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s speed.


    "We can''t dodge it anymore!" Nan Gongsheng exclaimed as he spread his spatial domain, but Zhao Feng''s expression stayed calm even though he knew they couldn''t avoid it.


    In terms of speed, the Peak-tier King Wei Jing was more than twice as fast as Jiu Wuji, and on top of that, the blue rain had the ability to decrease one''s speed.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Drops of rain soon landed on Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s bodies.


    The rain was a natural bloodline domain that could erode even through spatial domains.


    "Sacred Lightning Body!"


    A metallic silver-blue light glittered around Zhao Feng''s body.


    Boom! Boom!


    Water and lightning sparkled as the rain landed on Zhao Feng, and the cold numbing sensation made his eyebrows furrow.


    "My Sacred Lightning Body is resilient against Ice-elemental and Water-elemental attacks, but this rain also contains an eroding power." Zhao Feng closed his eyes as he felt the rain.


    He could actually use his body to block the rain ¨C even Void God Realms didn''t have this ability.


    Next to him, a layer of silver and purple glittered around Nan Gongsheng as a ripple of space absorbed and devoured the rain.


    Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but be envious of Zhao Feng. After re-cultivating, Zhao Feng had such a powerful body that he could block the rain without using any True Yuan.


    That wasn''t just because his Sacred Lightning Body was so strong though. It was also due to the fact that Zhao Feng cultivated Water of Wind Lightning. Because the Water of Wind Lightning was the first element he used to refine his Sacred Lightning Body, he was resilient against Ice and Water attacks.


    Despite that, Zhao Feng''s body still felt a tinge of pain. However, Zhao Feng continued to use his body alone to block the rain.


    "Hahaha¡­. Ninth Prince, if this continues, all your subordinates will die."


    The scale-covered Wei Jing floated in the center of the rain and created a storm wherever he went.


    The imperial elites were dying left and right, so they gathered together to form an array in order to block the rain.


    Wei Jing purposely used the rain to slowly engulf them and put more pressure on the Ninth Prince.


    Ninth Prince? No wonder he looks familiar, Zhao Feng thought.


    He realized that the Ninth Prince and the Eighth Prince, Zhou Lu, were 30-40% similar. However, the Ninth Prince was much stronger than the Eighth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince.


    "Wei Jing, you come from the four-star Dark Capital Cult and you''re ranked 9th on the Imperial Genius rankings, and yet you still ambushed me when I was fighting the Victorious Sky Snake King," the purple-and-green-robed Ninth Prince gritted his teeth and said.


    The Ninth Prince''s cultivation was close to the Peak-tier King level, and he had an Inheritance Sacred Weapon no weaker than Nan Gongsheng''s Qiankun Sword.


    "Arghh!"


    Screams sounded from the group covered in rain. Everyone below the Great Origin Core Realm had died already, and this was still under the fact that Wei Jing was purposely dragging things out.


    Sou! Shua!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, who were covered in silver and purple light, sped away in the other direction in order to avoid getting close to Wei Jing.


    "Hmph, two insects." Wei Jing scanned across them emotionlessly with his pair of dark blue eyes. However, his main focus was the Ninth Prince, so he only used the blue rain domain to stop Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng suddenly felt the pressure increase dramatically.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The blue rain started to form a whirlpool that sucked them in.


    "Zhao Feng, if we team up, we can break through this blue rain¡­!" Nan Gongsheng said deeply. Wei Jing''s strength was too great, and he might be comparable to an Emperor, so Nan Gongsheng didn''t want to offend him if he didn''t have to.


    "There''s no rush." Zhao Feng remained calm as a silver-blue metallic ripple of Water of Wind Lightning flickered across the surface of his body.


    Hmm? Nan Gongsheng sensed something and revealed an incredulous look.


    At this moment in time, the aura from Zhao Feng''s body became more condensed and stronger.


    The rain landed on his body, and part of it eroded into his body. Zhao Feng occasionally circulated the Water of Wind Lightning to make the rain spread more evenly across his body.


    Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng stayed in the rain without getting too close to Wei Jing, acting as if Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain was struggling to block the rain.


    "I''m sorry for dragging you two into this," the Ninth Prince said apologetically. Although he was strong, he was ambushed by Wei Jing and severely injured. The Ninth Prince only hoped to find some other human experts, but normal elites would be killed by Wei Jing since he was ranked 9th on the Imperial Genius rankings.


    "It''s fine," Nan Gongsheng said. He was a spatial type Domain-level King who had the Evil God Crystal and a bunch of other substandard God Crystals. As long as he wasn''t attacked by Wei Jing head-on, the rain was nothing.


    In reality, if it weren''t for the fact that Zhao Feng wanted to stay behind, they could have left the range of Wei Jing''s domain already.


    "Hmm?" The Ninth Prince sensed something unusual from Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s emotionless expressions. Although the purple-haired pair seemed to be struggling, they didn''t show any fear at all.


    "I''m Zhou Zihang, the Ninth Prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. May I ask your names and if you''re willing to work together to fight this nonhuman enemy?" the man in purple-and-green battle robes took a deep breath and asked in a deep tone. He found that the strength of these two was not low. The one in black was a Space-type Domain-level King, and the other youth was able to block the rain with his body alone.


    "Nan Gongsheng," the youth in black replied simply.


    "Zhao Feng." The other youth was expressionless. "Now''s not the time to team up. Let''s run a bit more."


    Hearing that, the Ninth Prince''s face twitched. The youth said it so casually¡­ let''s run a bit more?


    Wait, what is he doing? The Ninth Prince sensed that something was wrong. The purple-haired youth was "bathing" in the rain, as if it hurt but was pleasurable at the same time.


    I''ve almost completely digested the Ancient Dream Realm fruit. Zhao Feng closed his eyes.


    Wei Jing''s natural domain contained erosion and ice. Right now, Zhao Feng was using the Water of Wind Lightning to refine his body, and his Sacred Lightning Body was just a tiny bit away from the peak fourth level.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The rain spread across Zhao Feng''s body, which crackled with lightning. At this moment, Zhao Feng was using every second to circulate his Sacred Lightning Body and Wind Lightning Technique to refine the rain into his body.


    That junior is way too crazy. He dares to use someone else''s domain to refine his body!? The Ninth Prince took a deep breath.


    Around half the time it took to make tea later:


    Weng~~


    The silver-blue light around Zhao Feng glowed as he became surrounded by lightning. He was like a perfected piece of metal as he gave off a heavy feeling. At this moment, Zhao Feng''s every breath and action contained a strong physical force, which made even Nan Gongsheng feel pressured.


    Sacred Lightning Body, peak fourth level! Zhao Feng was overjoyed as the physical force radiating from him increased dramatically.


    Boom!


    With just a thought, a barrier of physical force repelled the rain.


    "That brat¡­?" Wei Jing finally felt that something was wrong.


    Before, he didn''t even look at Zhao Feng, who was only at the Small Origin Core Realm, properly. Even though he had a strong physical body, there were countless races that had strong bloodlines involving the physical body.


    "How dare that human use my natural domain to refine his body!"


    Anger appeared on Wei Jing''s face. This was humiliation.


    Finally, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body had broken through to the peak fourth level, and he could now fight against normal Kings with his body alone. If he broke through to the fifth level, his Sacred Lightning Body would be able to defeat almost any King.


    This Friend sure is courageous. The Ninth Prince felt admiration. Any other Origin Core Realm wouldn''t even have time to run away from Wei Jing, but this person used Wei Jing''s natural domain to refine his body.

 817 Blue Serpent King

    Chapter 817 - Blue Serpent King


    "How dare that human use my natural domain to refine his body!" Wei Jing was filled with anger, and he snickered coldly. Who was he? How dare a human brat use him!?


    Hu~ Shua!


    With a thought, Wei Jing summoned a gust of rain and blew it toward Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    "Not good!" Nan Gongsheng felt his spatial domain shake, and it started to erode.


    This time, Wei Jing himself was controlling his natural domain as it attacked Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng. The power was enough to trap and kill a normal Void God Realm King.


    "This is the power just from his bloodline alone¡­?" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    In his previous life, his Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline also had an Ice Domain that would freeze anything that came within range of it.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    A barrier of physical force appeared around Zhao Feng''s body, and the rain created sparks when it came into contact the barrier.


    It was as if there was an invisible metal barrier covering Zhao Feng. Even if the rain passed through the barrier, its strength would weaken to the point where it was unable to threaten Zhao Feng''s peak-fourth-level Sacred Lightning Body.


    Of course, the pressure Nan Gongsheng faced was pretty strong. The blue rain kept on eroding his spatial domain, causing him to expend a large amount of Yuan Qi every second.


    Hu~ Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The whirlwind restricted Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain.


    "Zhao Feng, if we don''t run soon, it''ll be troublesome." Nan Gongsheng found it hard to breathe. He wasn''t like Zhao Feng; he didn''t have a strong physical body that was resilient against Ice and Water attacks.


    "Two Friends, might you two help me in facing this nonhuman enemy?" Admiration appeared in the Ninth Prince''s eyes as he invited Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng again.


    "Sure." Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Hearing that, the Ninth Prince revealed a look of joy. With the help of these two, he would at least be able to put up a fight.


    "Break!" Right after speaking, dominating bolts of lightning swept in every direction.


    Boom!


    The rain nearby was obliterated or repelled away.


    "Retreat!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng suddenly turned around and sped in the opposite direction under a layer of silver and purple. As they ran, Zhao Feng circulated his physical force and pushed away all the rain.


    "You¡­!" This scene almost made the Ninth Prince cough out blood. Originally, he admired this purple-haired youth, but after breaking through, he immediately ran away.


    Even Wei Jing was dazed for a moment.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng worked together and ran away, about to break out of the rain domain.


    "Hmph, don''t even think about running!" Wei Jing snickered coldly as the temperature of the rain domain started to drop. Everything in sight started to freeze.


    Sii! Sii!


    Frost started to form around Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng. At this moment, the eroding ability of the rain started to drop, but the freezing ability increased greatly, similar to the Mystic Ice Domain from Zhao Feng''s previous life.


    "Zhao Feng, what should we do now?" Nan Gongsheng''s expression changed dramatically. Although he had a spatial domain, it couldn''t do everything. On top of that, they were directly inside the enemy''s bloodline domain and were restricted.


    "Ice Imperial Spear!" Zhao Feng''s expression didn''t change as an ice-blue liquid formed a barrier around himself and Nan Gongsheng.


    Hmm? Nan Gongsheng felt the pressure decrease. The barrier was transparent, similar to the icy rain outside.


    Zhao Feng used his Ice-Water bloodline to transform the Ice Imperial Spear into an ice barrier.


    "From Ice to Water!"


    The icy rain that hit the ice-blue barrier rippled, and they showed signs of merging together.


    "That brat actually understands the laws of Ice and Water, and he even has an Ice-type bloodline?" Wei Jing was surprised.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s Ice Imperial Spear could exist in many different states.


    "Water of Wind Lightning!" A smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face as the ice-blue barrier sparkled with water and lightning.


    The fact that he dared to stay in Wei Jing''s domain to refine his body meant that he had something to rely on.


    Firstly, Wei Jing''s main target was the Ninth Prince, who was stronger. Secondly, his Sacred Body, bloodline, Ice Imperial Spear, and other things could resolve the power of the domain.


    Bo~~


    At this moment, the ice-blue Water Lightning barrier protected Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng as they forcefully made a path.


    "Great!" Nan Gongsheng felt the pressure decrease dramatically, and he summoned a layer of silver and purple that allowed them to quickly escape the range of the icy rain.


    "Interesting." Wei Jing was slightly dazed and surprised. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng to be able to escape from his domain so easily.


    "These two brats¡­." The Ninth Prince was frustrated, but he couldn''t do anything. After all, he was the one that brought Wei Jing here. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng obviously didn''t have an obligation to risk their lives just to help him block one nonhuman enemy.


    Sou! Shua!


    The layer of silver and purple took Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng further away from the icy rain, drawing attention from Wei Jing.


    Bitterness appeared on the Ninth Prince''s face. The majority of the elites in his group had been injured or killed. Only some half-step Kings and Great Origin Core Realms held on.


    "Ninth Prince, if you want to survive, fly toward the southwestern direction."


    A weird voice sounded in his head.


    "You¡­!" The Ninth Prince was stunned, and he gave Zhao Feng a deep glance. He was a Domain-level King. What kind of level had Zhao Feng reached in the Dao of the Soul to be able to transport his voice directly into someone else''s soul?


    "He used Wei Jing''s domain to refine his body and was able to leave so easily ¡­." The Ninth Prince felt that Zhao Feng was more and more immeasurable. There was only one other person on the Imperial Genius rankings that gave him this feeling.


    Thinking up to there, the Ninth Prince believed in Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Lightning crackled around the prince as he sped toward the southwestern direction.


    "Hm? He''s running away so quickly¡­." Wei Jing revealed a weird expression, and a ripple of blue surged around him as he chased after the Ninth Prince.


    The Ninth Prince''s strength and status weren''t something that those other two humans could compare to. Once the Ninth Prince recovered from his injuries, he would be a threat.


    However, Wei Jing regretted this decision soon. If he could choose again, he would choose to chase after Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    The Ninth Prince ran several thousand miles and saw the figures of humans ahead. They were obviously from the outside world.


    "Who''s there!?"


    Some Void God Realm King auras appeared from a forest next to a lake.


    "Brother Jiang, Brother Shi." The Ninth Prince recognized Jiang Chen and another King from the Shi Family.


    "Ninth Prince?" Jiang Chen and the other King were following the purple-haired thieves, so they didn''t expect to meet the Ninth Prince, who was running away from something.


    "A nonhuman genius is coming. Please help me with all your strength!" the Ninth Prince exclaimed.


    "Wei Jing? The Blue Serpent King, ranked 9th on the Imperial Genius rankings!?"


    Hearing that, the Kings'' expressions changed dramatically, but they didn''t run. Instead, they crushed a message token, sending a bright multi-colored light into the air.


    "Human thieves, die!" the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing roared with laughter as he charged toward the three within pouring rain.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Everything that the rain touched turned into ice.


    "As expected of the Blue Serpent King!"


    The Kings'' expressions changed dramatically as they felt an ancient ice dragon bloodline that made their bodies shake. Just the domain made Jiang Chen and the other King''s bodies go cold, and they felt unable to breathe.


    Jiang Chen was a Domain-level King, so he was able to block it, but the genius from the Shi Family was covered in frost. Some parts of his body had frozen and started to rot.


    "Save me¡­!" The King from the Shi Family was in a life or death situation.


    The Blue Serpent King Wei Jing had powerful senses, so he already felt some powerful auras closing in. One of them made even his powerful bloodline feel uneasy. Therefore, he didn''t hold back.


    "Sky Lightning Nine Tribulations Slash!" The Ninth Prince forcefully suppressed his injuries and sent out lightning-bolt slashes from his ancient green Lightning sword that clashed with Wei Jing''s bloodline domain.


    Boom~~~~!


    A deep "wound" instantly appeared in the domain.


    Although the power of the Ninth Prince''s Lightning Dao Sacred Sword attacks was close to an Emperor, it wasn''t able to stop the Blue Serpent King''s footsteps. A layer of thick blue scales covered the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing''s body; he seemed to have the body of a dragon that was able to ignore most attacks from Domain-level Kings.


    After cutting through the rain, the remaining power from the Ninth Prince''s lightning sword attacks was unable to threaten Wei Jing. Furthermore, Wei Jing was faster in his domain.


    "Arghh!"


    A scream sounded as the King from the Shi Family was ripped into ice shards by a icy blue claw.


    A King from the Shi Family was slain in one claw.


    "It''s the Blue Serpent King, Wei Jing!"


    Right at this moment, the Thirteenth Prince, the wrinkled elder, and some Kings and half-step King elites arrived.


    At the same time:


    Whoosh~~~~!


    A purple glow of light and a surge of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi flew over.


    What a shocking bloodline aura¡­! That female¡­ is she Zhao Yufei, who has the bloodline of the Spiritual Race? She''s a threat that the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty and the Dark Capital Cult want to get rid of. The Blue Serpent King Wei Jing''s eyes scanned the purple figure in the sky, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.

 818 第818章 被群殴

    Chapter 818 - Group Beating


    The area around the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing was covered in multi-colored lights that could be seen from extremely far away.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Powerful auras one after another started to close in.


    "Hahaha¡­! They found the purple-haired thieves already?" A bald male in black battle robes roared as he closed in.


    Half-step Kings and Kings from Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, the Shi Family, and the Dong Family were on their way as well.


    The first to arrive were Zhao Yufei, the wrinkled elder, and the Thirteenth Prince.


    Brother Feng, have you appeared? Zhao Yufei turned into a streak of purple; she was the fastest.


    Jiu Wuji spread a pair of black flaming wings behind his back and summoned a chaotic gust of wind as he came in from the other direction.


    The geniuses all saw the signal and thought that they had found the purple-haired thieves. However, when they arrived, they realized that the aura of the target was extremely strong, and it made their bloodlines tremble.


    "Brother Ninth Prince¡­! Why are you here?"


    "Oh my god! The number one genius of the Shi Family, Shi Xin, was killed by the Blue Serpent King!"


    Some geniuses couldn''t help but exclaim.


    Zhao Yufei and Jiu Wuji both paused as they felt the terrifying aura from the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The experts arrived and surrounded the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing.


    What''s going on? Did I fall into a trap set by the geniuses of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty¡­? The Blue Serpent King Wei Jing was also dazed. He just slayed a King, and suddenly a bunch of experts appeared.


    This is great, but¡­ who are these purple-haired thieves? The Ninth Prince was overjoyed as well as puzzled. Was it a coincidence?


    "Purple-haired thieves¡­ could it be¡­?" the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing couldn''t help but remember the two that had escaped from his domain.


    So that''s how it is. The Ninth Prince soon understood. The purple-haired Zhao Feng told him to run in this direction because he knew there was a strong group of "reinforcements."


    "Everyone, team up and kill the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing!" Battle-intent surged in the Ninth Prince''s heart as he slashed out with his ancient green lightning sword, sending arcs of lightning forward to slice and trap Wei Jing. At this moment, his goal was no longer to run but instead to kill Wei Jing.


    "Incomplete Heaven-grade Stance ¨C Ten Thousand Withering Palm!" The wrinkled elder next to the Thirteenth Prince thrust out his palms, sending a large blurry image of a palm toward the Blue Serpent King''s domain.


    Not good! Wei Jing''s expression changed slightly. He felt his bloodline domain start to wither, and the power was even about to affect the Blue Serpent Bloodline in his body.


    Being the personal bodyguard of the Thirteenth Prince, the wrinkled elder was personally appointed by the Sacred Emperor himself, so he was an elite amongst those at the same cultivation.


    "Sacred Emperor''s Sword!" The Thirteenth Prince in his purple-golden battle robes took out a golden sword that was surrounded by draconic images.


    At this instant, the surging power of an Emperor shot toward the Blue Serpent King. Incredibly, the pressure of this attack from the Sacred Emperor''s Sword was close to an Emperor''s even though the Thirteenth Prince was just a half-step King.


    Shua!


    The beam of sword-light surrounded by draconic images sliced into the rain domain and left a bloody mark on Wei Jing''s blue scales.


    "As expected of the Sacred Emperor''s Sword. What power!"


    "If it was used in the territory of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, it could''ve summoned the Supreme Dragon Providence, and its power would''ve been twice as much¡­."


    The newly-arrived elites'' hearts shook. After all, the Thirteenth Prince was only a half-step King and yet he was able to use the Sacred Emperor''s Sword to summon such power.


    "Hahaha¡­! Die, bastard!" the Thirteenth Prince roared. He wanted to show off in front of Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei arrived at this moment.


    Boom~~~~!


    The purple figure seemed to start burning like a flaming purple meteor, and she disturbed the Yuan Qi nearby. At the same time, a purple-colored dimension seemed to materialize.


    "Little World!" Wei Jing exclaimed. His expression changed dramatically as his domain was instantly crushed.


    Bam~~~


    An explosion that seemed to shake the Nine Heavens sounded as a thousand-yard-deep crater was left in the ground.


    "So, that''s Zhao Yufei''s true strength? How much potential does the bloodline of the Spiritual Race ¨C ranked 19th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races ¨C have?" The wrinkled elder was stunned as he kept attacking.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    More and more experts started to gather. The Ninth Prince and experts from the Jiang Family, the Dong Family, Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, and other forces all unleashed attacks.


    "Hand of the Demonic Sky!" A bald figure with demonic wings descended. One arm seemed to burn and expand as it turned into a giant black hand.


    Boom~~~~!


    The large Hand of the Demonic Sky summoned black flames that seemed to destroy Heaven and Earth. Jiu Wuji''s attack came from behind, which was where the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing was at his weakest since he was busy facing Zhao Yufei, the Ninth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and the wrinkled elder''s attacks.


    Bam!


    The tall blue-scaled figure was pushed back and spat out a mouthful of blood.


    "Ridiculous!" The Blue Serpent King Wei Jing let out a roar as flames of anger burned in his heart. He had somehow fallen into an ambush of the humans and was being attacked by so many elites. Just the first round of attacks had already injured him.


    "This Wei Jing is a peerless prodigy from the Dark Capital Cult ¨C kill him!"


    "Everyone knows the reason that the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty can fight with the Great Gan Lord Dynasty is because the four-star Dark Capital Cult supports them."


    The experts of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty kept on attacking. Amongst them, Zhao Yufei, Jiu Wuji, and the Ninth Prince were the main force.


    No matter how strong the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing was, he would be unable to block this many geniuses and elites at once.


    The Ninth Prince alone could exchange dozens of blows with him at his peak.


    Zhao Yufei''s true strength had exceeded his expectations, and she had her own Little World.


    The Thirteenth Prince''s Sacred Emperor''s Sword was unstoppable.


    "Human bastards, don''t let me catch you on your own~~~!" Wei Jing roared as he suppressed his anger and turned into an enormous blue Ice Serpent that forcefully created a path of escape.


    After turning into the blue Ice Serpent, Wei Jing''s defense and battle-power increased. Everyone could only watch as he forcefully made a hole in the encirclement and turned into a blue streak of light that sped away through the air.


    "He still managed to get away." The Ninth Prince was slightly regretful.


    "Indeed worthy of being ranked in the top ten of the Imperial Dao bloodlines. The Serpent Emperor bloodline is somewhat similar to the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­." the wrinkled elder murmured.


    The Imperial Dao bloodlines list ranked the top five hundred strongest bloodlines around the Great Gan Lord Dynasty and areas nearby. The difference between the Imperial Dao bloodlines and the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines was that the former ranked all the new bloodlines from the end of the ancient era to the modern day.


    "Brother Ninth Prince, why was Wei Jing chasing after you? You''re ranked 13th on the Imperial Genius rankings. How were you so utterly defeated?" The Thirteenth Prince had a weird expression; he seemed to be mocking and gloating at the Ninth Prince.


    Although the Ninth Prince was talented, his birth was normal. He could be considered a half-illegitimate child, while the Thirteenth Prince had a noble birth and was favored by the Sacred Emperor.


    "I''ve come to give you all an important piece of news," the Ninth Prince said solemnly.


    He didn''t want to explain too much about why Wei Jing chased after him. Firstly, Wei Jing had ambushed him, which was embarrassing. Secondly, the difference between them was quite big anyway.


    "Important piece of news?" Everyone went quiet as they waited for the Ninth Prince to speak again.


    "This news is regarding the ancient mysterious palace and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon that appeared not long ago." The Ninth Prince took a deep breath.


    Ancient mysterious palace? Black Destruction Serpent Dragon?


    Hearing those words, all the geniuses'' hearts shook.


    The elites led by the Ninth Prince had found the tracks of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and found the secret of the ancient mysterious palace by accident. However, in the process, they met many powerful beasts and were then ambushed by the Blue Serpent King, Wei Jing.


    "Ancient mysterious palace! The legend is real. That place is the core of the Divine Illusion Dimension!"


    "But the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon has the bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race, and its battle-power is unparalleled in the Divine Illusion Dimension."


    Some of the people were happy while others were worried.


    At this moment, everyone was discussing and digesting this news.


    "Ninth Prince, how did you find us? Did you meet anyone on the way?" Zhao Yufei asked. In comparison to the palace, she wanted to know about this more.


    "Oh, that''s right¡­ I might have met those purple-haired thieves," the Ninth Prince seemed to remember something and said.


    "Purple-haired thieves! Ninth Prince, you actually met them¡­?"


    The eyes of Jiu Wuji, Jiang Chen, and company lit up, while Zhao Yufei''s eyes were filled with worry.


    The Ninth Prince was stunned. He didn''t expect this many people to care about the purple-haired thieves to the point of teaming up just to pursue them. However, if they weren''t extraordinary, the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing wouldn''t have been defeated so easily.


    The Ninth Prince then told them what happened with the purple-haired thieves.


    "The purple-haired thieves are not just strange, they even dared to use the Blue Serpent King''s domain to refine their bodies¡­?"


    "Those two demonic thieves managed to gain the advantage against the Blue Serpent King and escape?"


    Everyone felt incredulous, and the scariness of the purple-haired thieves seemed to change in their hearts. It was as if these two demonic thieves were able to take the advantage wherever they went.


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had a new title amongst the elites of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty ¨C the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.

 819 Mutated Blood Devil Sun Bloodline

    Chapter 819 - Mutated Blood Devil Sun Bloodline


    Hearing the Ninth Prince''s retelling, everyone felt slightly ridiculous. The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo that they were trying to find had met the Ninth Prince and put on a show against the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing.


    "Ninth Prince, do you know the names of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo?" Zhao Yufei smiled and asked.


    "Names?" The Ninth Prince started to think. "Oh, that''s it¡­ they called themselves Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng. The one called Zhao Feng is particularly mysterious."


    "Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng are the true names of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo?"


    All the present elites took note of these names. However, only a small amount of people realized that Zhao Yufei''s body shook slightly when she heard these two names.


    Brother Feng, if it is you¡­ why don''t you want to talk to me? Zhao Yufei''s face was filled with joy and sadness at the same time.


    However, at this moment in time, the hearts of the powerful geniuses from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty weren''t on the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo anymore, but the ancient mysterious palace.


    Two days later, near a stream at the bottom of a cliff, two purple-haired males were sitting. One wore black clothes and the other was a handsome youth.


    "There''s only three left¡­." Zhao Feng took out a Spiritual Fruit from the Ancient Dream Realm. It radiated an ancient aura as he bit into it and swallowed it into his stomach.


    The Spiritual Fruits from the tree in the Ancient Dream Realm had almost completely run out.


    Most of them had already been used in his previous life. Zhao Feng, the little thieving cat, and the child Demigod had all used a bunch of Ancient Dream Realm Spiritual Fruits.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng only had two more left on the tree since he just ate one.


    The Spiritual Fruits from the Ancient Dream Realm could purify one''s bloodline and strengthen their True Yuan and body. It had a good effect on increasing the concentration of one''s bloodline.


    However, three Spiritual Fruits isn''t enough for me to break through to the fifth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body.


    Zhao Feng started to think. Only by breaking through to the fifth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body would he have the ability to fight with the top geniuses in the Divine Illusion Dimension. Right now, Nan Gongsheng was the main force while Zhao Feng was just the support.


    Of course, the effect of the Spiritual Fruits from the Ancient Dream Realm was very balanced and thorough. It could strengthen his bloodline, body, True Yuan, and even his soul, but the bottleneck to the fifth level was high, and Zhao Feng''s foundation wasn''t strong enough. He didn''t revive from blood like the child Demigod, who inherited the bloodline and knowledge of a Demigod.


    After reaching the peak fourth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng was able to digest the Spiritual Fruits from the Ancient Dream Realm even quicker.


    This time, Zhao Feng merged part of the fruit into the mutated Imperial Dao bloodline within his body. He realized that this Imperial Dao bloodline was extremely powerful and explosive, and it also contained a burning and eroding effect as well. Using this bloodline with his Sacred Body was like adding wings to a tiger.


    Besides, Zhao Feng realized that the growth of this bloodline had reached a bottleneck, so he decided to utilize an Ancient Dream Realm fruit.


    Hu~~~


    A bright red flame appeared around Zhao Feng, and a burning sensation flowed across his body. Immediately following that, a bright red bloodline power started to dissolve the essence of the Ancient Dream Realm Spiritual Fruit.


    Due to the burning effect of the bloodline, the digestion rate of the Ancient Dream Realm fruit increased.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng felt as if he was reborn as a flaming demon.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng became covered in bright red fire, and its aura became more even more dominating. The invisible bloodline aura made all the beasts within several hundred miles tremble with uneasiness.


    "Could it be that Zhao Feng''s bloodline has awakened once more?" Nan Gongsheng revealed a weird expression.


    Over this period of time, the Evil God Crystal and Nan Gongsheng had merged together and become stronger.


    In the clash with Wei Jing, Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain had been heavily eroded. However, now that he had obtained so many substandard God Crystals, the Evil God Crystal was able to supply him with the power to fix his domain.


    Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain radiated a thick aura, and he had become much stronger after entering the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    However, at this moment in time, the bloodline aura radiating from Zhao Feng made Nan Gongsheng uneasy. If it weren''t for the fact that they were in an alliance, Nan Gongsheng would''ve run away.


    Weng~~


    The image of a bright red blood-colored sun appeared behind Zhao Feng''s back, and it seemed to twist and turn.


    Nan Gongsheng and the nearby beings all felt their blood burn and boil, and they were filled with shock and fear.


    "Done. This mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline has evolved," Zhao Feng murmured.


    Hu~


    He took a long breath and made the bloodline aura fade back into his body.


    "Zhao Feng, congratulations on becoming stronger. How strong is your bloodline now?" Nan Gongsheng asked with interest.


    He cared a lot about the strength and ability of his ally, but they obviously wouldn''t spar while surrounded by danger.


    "Let''s find some powerful beasts and see."


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng disappeared in a flash of silver and purple.


    A while later, they appeared in front of a forest.


    Si! Si!


    A fat, room-sized insect with four wings and covered in fur appeared ahead.


    "This seems to be a mutated ancient insect," Nan Gongsheng warned.


    The aura from the large insect was already comparable to a half-step King, and it radiated a poisonous powder. However, Nan Gongsheng''s nose ring could easily block this poisonous powder, and Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was resilient against poison.


    Bam!


    To test the strength of his bloodline, Zhao Feng produced a "light" punch. He was scared that he would flatten the large insect into paste with his physical force alone before he could even test his bloodline.


    Peng~


    A flame glowed on Zhao Feng''s fist, which was now covered in a burning aura.


    Reality proved that Zhao Feng worried too much. The fat insect''s fur was tough and blocked a lot of power. Therefore, Zhao Feng''s physical strength didn''t critically threaten the fat insect since most of the damage was blocked.


    However, what happened next dazed Nan Gongsheng.


    Hu~ Boom!


    The fat insect screamed as fire ignited around him, and it turned into ashes under the burning bloodline power.


    "So strong!" Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but exclaim.


    In the punch just now, Zhao Feng had only used 30-40% of his physical strength, which wasn''t enough to critically threaten the fat insect.


    However, 30-40% bloodline power released such shocking power.


    "This mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline has strong explosive force. It seems to have an igniting effect," Zhao Feng murmured.


    "Igniting effect?" Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but take in a cold breath while thinking about the word "igniting."


    In an instant, Zhao Feng''s bloodline attack ignited the large insect. This igniting effect was terrifying when used together with his Sacred Body. Anyone below the Void God Realm would be burned into ashes by Zhao Feng''s bloodline ability.


    "There seems to be more than just that though¡­."


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but think about the punch just now. He felt a weird warm flow throughout his body, but since the fat insect died instantly, that feeling was soon cut off. There were no other suitable targets nearby either.


    "The Blood Devil Sun bloodline is ranked 81st among the Imperial Dao bloodlines, but mine has evolved and mutated multiple times. Who knows how much higher ranked it actually is?"


    Zhao Feng was satisfied by his tests.


    Right at this moment, surges of Yuan Qi came from a roaring river ahead alongside flashes of various items.


    "Everyone, watch out! This is a Water-elemental beast - the River Devouring Kun ¨C which has a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. It is not to be fought head-on!" a yellow-robed middle-aged Domain-level King exclaimed.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A large monster could be faintly seen in the thrashing river. It was similar to a crocodile-and-fish hybrid. The beast was as big as a mountain, and thunder seemed to boom with its every breath.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other, then started to close in while a layer of silver-and-purple light covered them.


    The force of the large River Devouring Kun made their hearts shake even from far away.


    At the moment, there were three Void God Realm Kings leading more than a dozen half-step Kings and many other elites in a fight against the River Devouring Kun.


    Hu~~ Boom!


    The River Devouring Kun opened its mouth and spat out a roaring jet of water.


    "Arghh!" Screams sounded as several elites were washed away by the giant wave and disappeared.


    Sii!


    The River Devouring Kun then took a deep breath and sucked in all the water and air in the area.


    "Arghh!" Some elites and half-step Kings flowed right into the River Devouring Kun''s mouth.


    These abilities made Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng click their tongues. The River Devouring Kun was only at the middle stage of the Void God Realm King, but it was able to suppress the yellow-robed middle-aged King, two other Kings, and a bunch of elites.


    This was power of its size and the ability of its Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.


    "If we had known this beforehand, we shouldn''t have fought with Xin Wuheng. We should have just worked together to obtain the treasures at the bottom of the river." A youth in white smiled bitterly while another youth had an ugly expression and remained silent.


    Sou! Sou!


    Right as the three Kings were barely holding on, a layer of silver and purple approached.


    "Zhao Feng, that River Devouring Kun has the ability to manipulate Space. You really want to attack it?" Nan Gongsheng had a solemn expression as they approached.


    Every breath of the River Devouring Kun could suck in huge amounts of water. It had spatial abilities and a storage space within its body.


    "Who said that we''re going to attack it?"


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye caught sight of some glinting treasures at the bottom of the river.


    Whoosh!


    The silver-purple light forcefully pushed into the waves of the roaring river with the help of some physical force.


    "Don''t even think about it!"


    "Ridiculous!"


    The yellow-robed middle-aged man and the other two Kings were so angry that they almost spat out blood. They were fighting against the River Devouring Kun, and two brats had gone into the water to steal their treasures?

 820 Sky Water Crystal Lotus

    Chapter 820 - Sky Water Crystal Lotus


    Every breath of the River Devouring Kun sucked in waves and then released huge streams of water that could cover mountains. The middle-aged man in yellow robes and the two youths, these three Void God Realms, had to combine their strength and use the help of all the elites behind them just to fight against it.


    However, despite their combined power, there was still one thing they didn''t take into account. In this critical moment, a layer of silver and purple that covered two figures charged into the depths of the rushing river.


    "How can we let outsiders steal from us!?" One of the youths was extremely angry. They had already lost the Blue Crystal Tear to Xin Wuheng, and now two random brats wanted to steal from them as well?


    "Don''t panic." Cunningness appeared in the middle-aged male''s eyes. "Those that enter the river will have to face the river-devouring power of the River Devouring Kun, so we''ve had no one to go in and take out the treasures for us."


    Hmm? Hearing that, the eyes of the other two Kings lit up.


    "Even if those two manage to take out the treasure from the river, they will have lost a lot of Yuan Qi, while we still have three groups of elite behind us. At that point in time, we can just kill those two." The middle-aged male in yellow felt smug.


    "That''s right. There''s only one King among those two. The hard-earned reward they find will be taken by us." The other two nodded their heads.


    At the moment, the three Kings were using Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng while they were using the three Kings. The Kings were stalling the River Devouring Kun while Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were using their energy to acquire the treasures.


    Gulu~


    In the depths of the river, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng moved forward alongside a layer of silver and purple.


    Boom~~~~!


    They had to face the tremendous force of the River Devouring Kun as they moved forward. Its every breath and action contained the raging power of the river.


    "The River Devouring Kun mainly trains the elements of Water and Space," Zhao Feng analyzed. These two elements were a perfect match for Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, which is what gave them the courage to enter the river and "steal from the mouth of a tiger."


    However, because three Kings were surveying them, Zhao Feng only circulated part of his physical force to push them forward. Nan Gongsheng was stronger than several days ago as well, so he could withstand most of the force for a while by himself.


    The compatibility between the Evil God Crystal and Nan Gongsheng is becoming higher. The power of those two will eventually become one, Zhao Feng thought.


    The river in front of them was extremely deep, so once they reached a certain depth, the surveillance of the three Kings would decrease dramatically.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng summoned the Ice Imperial Spear and transformed it into an icy barrier to protect himself and Nan Gongsheng. With the powers of their Water and Space techniques combined, the energy expenditure decreased dramatically, and they were able to move forward faster.


    "What a strong treasure aura!"


    As they got closer, they sensed a powerful source of treasure aura. The Water Yuan Qi started to whistle within a cave at the depths of the river.


    "What kind of treasure is it?"


    Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng looked at each other. The latter opened his left eye and looked forward with all his might.


    Under Zhao Feng''s gaze, all the scenery within the cave could be seen. The entire cave was covered in a clean white wall. Just the value of the wall was comparable to the materials used to make Earth-grade weapons.


    In the very depths of the cave was a crystal-like lotus that gave off an undulation of Water. The disturbance of Water Yuan Qi came from this pure white lotus.


    "Water elemental treasure ¨C Sky Water Crystal Lotus."


    Shock flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Although the Sky Water Crystal Lotus sounded like a plant, it was actually a sort of plant-mineral hybrid, referred to as a "world-stepping" treasure. Simply put, it was a precious Water-elemental treasure that could be used to craft powerful Water-elemental weapons. It could even be used as the main material for Inheritance Sacred Weapons or Heaven-grade weapons.


    As a world-stepping treasure, the Sky Water Crystal Lotus could also be absorbed and used to cultivate. Its value was even higher than the Water Mother Essence Zhao Feng plundered earlier.


    "This Sky Water Crystal Lotus can be used to cultivate, or I can fuse it into the Ice Imperial Spear. Either way, it will be very effective." Zhao Feng''s heart was moved.


    Of course, inside the cave, there was also more than a dozen mysterious half-transparent water pearls.


    "Water Soul Pearls!" Zhao Feng''s eyes lit up, but then he sighed. "Unfortunately, Water Soul Pearls won''t be very effective given the current level of my soul."


    Water Soul Pearls had the ability to cleanse, heal, and strengthen the soul as well as purify it. However, normal Soul Dao treasures weren''t enough to heal Zhao Feng''s soul because the strength of his soul was already very high.


    Sou! Sou!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng flew into the cave.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    They were blocked by ripples of water, which came from the power of the Sky Water Crystal Lotus. However, these two were not normal people; they teamed up to resist the pressure and entered the depths of the cave.


    "Nan Gongsheng, these Water Soul Pearls can help you heal your soul and purify it," Zhao Feng suggested.


    Zhao Feng gave most of the Water-elemental items within the cave to Nan Gongsheng, but the Sky Water Crystal Lotus was far too useful to Zhao Feng, so he kept it. Nan Gongsheng didn''t say anything as they split the treasures.


    Zhao Feng got what he wished, and he had to suppress the urge to instantly use the Sky Water Crystal Lotus. The Sky Water Crystal Lotus was extremely useful to his cultivation.


    "Let''s go."


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng quickly left the cave. They were currently using a lot of energy to resist the river-devouring force every second.


    Boom! Boom!


    Even while returning to the surface, they faced huge surges of river-devouring power. The counteracting forces of the River Devouring Kun''s inhalation and exhalation produced great power, so the duo needed to give it the entirety of their attention.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng specialized in the laws of Water and Space. Normal Kings would have already fallen from the fatigue.


    "Thieves, where do you think you''re going~~~~!?"


    Roars sounded near the surface at this instant.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    At the same time, the aura of the River Devouring Kun was also closing in.


    "Not good! The three Kings and the River Devouring Kun are all charging over¡­!" Nan Gongsheng''s expression changed dramatically as he felt the pressure increase dramatically.


    He had thought about what to do if the three Kings troubled them. However, he didn''t expect the River Devouring Kun to attack them as well. The battle-power of the River Devouring Kun was almost unparalleled below the Emperor level. There were so many Kings and half-step Kings near the river, but they were unable to handle one River Devouring Kun.


    "This is within my expectations." Zhao Feng remained calm.


    The Sky Water Crystal Lotus was a precious Water-elemental treasure, and the treasure aura emanating from it attracted those three Kings from the outside world. However, there was also a River Devouring Kun nearby guarding it, which is why it was in the river in the first place. The River Devouring Kun had waited for many years for the Sky Water Crystal Lotus to ripen. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng taking the Sky Water Crystal Lotus would obviously cause the River Devouring Kun to chase after them.


    "Hahaha¡­! Thieves, this is the result of being greedy!" the middle-aged yellow-robed King roared.


    The situation instantly changed. The three Kings and the River Devouring Kun that were just fighting with each other suddenly became allies.


    "Zhao Feng, what should we do now?" Nan Gongsheng''s handsome face went slightly red as his spatial domain started facing a lot of pressure.


    Zhao Feng made his move at this moment. An invisible ripple of physical force and water surged from Zhao Feng as the bloodline of his left eye suddenly opened. His left eye seemed to contain a dreamy purple world.


    "Eye-bloodline!" Nan Gongsheng was overjoyed. He knew that this was Zhao Feng''s killing move.


    In the next instant, the River Devouring Kun let out a roar amongst the waves and seemed to lose control over its emotions as it started thrashing and unleashing attacks everywhere.


    "Argh! Move, move, move!"


    "What''s wrong with the River Devouring Kun? Why did it suddenly go crazy?"


    The middle-aged yellow-robed King and company had just teamed up with the River Devouring Kun, but now they were being furiously attacked by it.


    At this moment, the three Kings and the elites behind them broke into chaos. The River Devouring Kun had lost its mind and attacked without any pattern. It posed even more of a threat than before.


    Sou! Sou!


    At the same time, a layer of silver and purple covered two males as they flew into the air above the river.


    "Dammit, those two brats are going to run away!"


    The middle-aged yellow-robed male and the other two Kings were extremely angry. They never expected the River Devouring Kun to just suddenly attack them.


    "Wait, look at that purple-haired youth!" one of the three Kings in white exclaimed.


    The left eye of one of the youths was purple, and it was locked on to the frenzied River Devouring Kun.


    "How is that possible¡­! He''s controlling the River Devouring Kun?"


    "This River Devouring Kun has a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline and it''s being controlled?"


    The three Kings were stunned.


    A wicked smile appeared on the purple-haired youth''s face, making him seem immeasurable.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The silver-purple light finally escaped the river, which meant that the speed and power of the River Devouring Kun would decrease if it still chased them. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng weren''t worried about that, given their speed and strength.


    "Zhao Feng, I didn''t expect you to be able to actually foresee this and then control the River Devouring Kun¡­." Nan Gongsheng said with surprise.


    It seemed like Zhao Feng hadn''t used any true hidden cards after entering the Divine Illusion Dimension, and he was only becoming stronger by the second.


    "If my soul was a bit stronger, I would be able to just enslave it directly¡­." Zhao Feng shook his head as if slightly dissatisfied. If he was at his peak, he could''ve enslaved entirely with just his Eye Intent.


    Hearing that, Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but click his tongue. From those words, one could tell how strong Zhao Feng would become if his soul recovered. However, it was too hard to find large quantities of precious Soul Dao items, and normal ones were useless to him.


    A while later, the River Devouring Kun turned into a tiny dot, and Zhao Feng lost control of it. After leaving the water, the River Devouring Kun would be unable to catch up with its clumsy and large body.


    "Thieves, where do you think you''re going~~~!?"


    The sound of flying came from behind as the three Kings roared.


    Hmm? Zhao Feng was surprised. How did the three Kings catch up? Looking closely, he saw that the yellow-robed middle-aged King was standing on a weird flaming chariot that gave off a strong surge of green fire, similar to the green shoes on Zhao Feng''s feet.


    The three Kings were pouring their True Yuan into it, giving the chariot speed that surpassed normal Kings.


    "This¡­" Zhao Feng had a weird expression. It wasn''t hard for him to guess that the flaming chariot and his shoes might both be items from the Heaven''s Legacy Race.

 821 Lifesteal

    Chapter 821 - Lifesteal


    Under normal situations, the three Kings would find it hard to chase up to Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng. However, they had an ancient flaming chariot that could surpass normal Void God Realms when they put their True Yuan into it.


    "Thieves, leave behind the Water-elemental treasures and we won''t kill you!" the yellow-robed middle-aged male yelled.


    Before he even arrived, the image of a muddy-yellow domain formed and caused the area to become heavy. The other two Kings were full of battle-intent as well; no matter how unique these two thieves were, their group only had one King while they had three, and they had three groups of elites still coming as well.


    However, unexpectedly, the two ahead suddenly stopped and turned around, waiting for the three Kings.


    "Hehe, your flying chariot shall be mine." The purple-eyed youth had a playful expression.


    Hearing that, the three Kings paused for a moment before becoming enraged.


    "How dare a thief be so arrogant!?"


    "A measly Origin Core Realm isn''t scared that the wind will cut your tongue?"


    The middle-aged male in yellow robes was furious. The Water-elemental treasure that he wanted had been taken by these two thieves, and now they were being arrogant ¨C they wanted his flaming chariot as well.


    Boom~~~~!


    Three Magnificent Powers descended angrily.


    However, the two thieves didn''t move at all. The middle-aged male in yellow robes and company were shocked and couldn''t believe it.


    If it was just Nan Gongsheng, it would be fine. After all, he was a Space-type Domain-level King who had a Spatial Spiritual Body and a Heavenly Spiritual Body, which had a high compatibility with Heaven and Earth. However, the measly Small Origin Core Realm thief was fine as well.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng turned into two streaks of light and charged toward the three Kings.


    Whoosh!


    Green flames shot out from the shoes on Zhao Feng''s feet as he propelled toward the three Kings.


    "Hmph!" A smile of mockery appeared on the yellow-robed middle-aged man''s face as the nearby muddy-yellow image became more condensed.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s body became heavy as a strong surge of power descended from the sky.


    Normal Origin Core Realms would have coughed out blood already, but Zhao Feng''s body was strong and he had the green shoes pushing him, so he withstood it.


    The yellow-robed middle-aged male''s expression changed. He remembered how this purple-haired youth''s eye-bloodline had directly affected the River Devouring Kun.


    "Leave this one to me!" the yellow-robed middle-aged male roared as two shining yellow dragons appeared behind his back. They roared so loudly that an ordinary person''s blood would shake.


    Earth-elemental bloodline? Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly; he didn''t expect this yellow-robed middle-aged male to have an Earth-elemental bloodline. Unfortunately for him, an Earth bloodline countered his Water bloodline and his Water of Wind Lightning. The only way to defeat an Earth bloodline would be if Zhao Feng could break through to the 7th level of the Wind Lightning Technique and form the Wood of Wind Lightning.


    In terms of pure strength, the middle-aged yellow-robed male was only weaker than that of Jiu Wuji.


    "Allow me!" A silver-purple image crushed over and clashed with the Earth-elemental domain of the yellow-robed middle-aged male.


    Boom~~~~!


    Both forces were pushed back from the clash of the domains. Nan Gongsheng''s attack was very sudden, and it pushed back the three Kings.


    Hu~


    A purple-and-blood-colored symbol flashed on Nan Gongsheng''s forehead, giving his True Yuan and his domain a wicked power.


    "So strong! This youth also has a terrifying aura within the source of his power¡­." The middle-aged yellow-robed male''s expression was solemn. He originally wanted to finish off the other mysterious purple-eyed youth first, but he was blocked by Nan Gongsheng, who trained in the laws of Space.


    Kings that trained in the laws of Space had the ability to do as they pleased; they could dodge and interfere anywhere at any time.


    "I have a soul-protecting item on me. Leave that brat to me." One of the other Kings licked his lips as a magnificent red glow radiated from his body, then he charged toward Zhao Feng.


    The yellow-robed middle-aged male nodded his head; he could tell that Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline was Soul-based. On the other side, he and the third King teamed up against Nan Gongsheng.


    Boom~~~~!


    Nan Gongsheng used a spatial technique that shot out wicked silver-purple glows through the air as he clashed with two Kings.


    If it was Nan Gongsheng when he first entered the Divine Illusion Dimension, he would find it troublesome to deal with the middle-aged male in yellow, but now, with the help of the Evil God Crystal and the substandard God Crystals, his strength had increased rapidly. His spatial laws and the Evil God Crystal merging had created unthinkable power.


    "Nan Gongsheng has great potential." Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head as he circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and charged toward the young King in front of him.


    This youth was a new King, and he had an unusual Fire bloodline.


    "Fire Cloud Divine Attack!" The youth thrust out continuous palms as a wave of red shot out. Each of his attacks would leave a flaming cloud in its wake. It could be said that this youth''s attacks were strong amongst those with the same cultivation.


    "Wings of Wind Lightning!" A pair of wings started to form behind Zhao Feng''s back, containing a starry blue light.


    Peng! Peng! Boom!


    The Water of Wind Lightning plus the Sacred Lightning Body allowed Zhao Feng to clash with the youth, and he wasn''t much weaker in a head-on exchange.


    Peng! Bam!


    The wings on Zhao Feng''s back fluttered quickly as barrages of physical force crushed toward the youth.


    "Why is it like this¡­?" The young King''s body became heavy and his face went red as he felt suppressed and angry.


    In terms of pure offense, he had the advantage. However, when facing this purple-haired youth, he felt like he couldn''t use all his power, as if he was being countered. It was the same feeling as when he fought Xin Wuheng earlier.


    "Ha!" The purple-haired youth roared as a silver-blue glow appeared around him, as if he was made from metal. Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body could unleash its full power at close range.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng started to attack continuously after getting close.


    In reality, Zhao Feng was purposely training his close combat abilities. In his previous life, he specialized in long-ranged and soul-based attacks. His close combat skills were just average.


    "Let''s see how long a measly Origin Core Realm can last¡­!" The youth snickered coldly as he clashed head-on with Zhao Feng. Although his body wasn''t as strong as Zhao Feng''s, his True Yuan and bloodline had the advantage, so he wasn''t scared of fighting Zhao Feng head-on because he could last longer.


    Zhao Feng knew that as well.


    On the other hand, Nan Gongsheng was fighting two Kings at once, and that fight wouldn''t be decided within a short amount of time. Seeing this, Zhao Feng decided to test his mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline again. Last time, he experienced a weird warm flow throughout his body, so he felt that he hadn''t discovered the full power of his bloodline.


    "Open!" Zhao Feng sent out a punch, and a flame started to burn around him. This time, Zhao Feng fully circulated it; he wasn''t holding back like last time.


    Boom!


    The two palms clashed and two flames interacted, creating a shockwave of fire. The powerful force made the other three Kings look over.


    "What a terrifying Fire bloodline¡­!" The youth retreated as a layer of Blood Devil Sun flames started to extend across his body.


    The mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline was extremely dominating, and it contained the effects of erosion and ignition. Luckily for the young King, he also had a Fire bloodline as well, so he was relatively resilient against the Fire element of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    "Hm? Wait¡­" The youth felt that he had lost some Yuan Qi and energy in the clash just now.


    The mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline wasn''t just pure explosive force. It also contained a strong burning sensation.


    "Eh?" Zhao Feng felt a warm flow across his body that healed his body. It contained the energy and Yuan Qi of a King.


    "Could it be¡­?"


    Zhao Feng felt that his energy and Yuan Qi were being replenished. Even some faint injuries were being healed. This discovery made him feel incredulous.


    "Ha!" Zhao Feng circulated his mutated bloodline with excitement as the Blood Devil Sun flames whistled and clashed with the youth.


    Boom!


    The youth groaned as he was pushed back. This time, a layer of Blood Devil Sun flames extended across his entire body. This was the igniting effect of the mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline. Normal people would have been burnt into ashes.


    What made the youth feel even worse though was that, in the clash just now, he lost a portion of his energy, while Zhao Feng only became fiercer as time passed. It was hard to imagine that the opponent was at the Small Origin Core Realm since he could clash with a King for so long.


    "Hahaha¡­! I didn''t expect that this mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline would have the ability to steal from the Yuan Qi and energy of others and give it to its owner." Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    It could be said that this was the rare "lifesteal" ability. Every time Zhao Feng attacked, he could absorb the lifeforce of the enemy to replenish his own Yuan Qi and heal himself to a certain degree.


    Such an ability had appeared on the Emperor of Death before. The Emperor of Death used the Tentacles of Death, which was a forbidden method, to forcefully devour the lifeforce of others and recover his own injuries and Yuan Qi.


    The rate of replenishment was faster than Zhao Feng''s type of lifesteal, but the Tentacles of Death absorbed impure Yuan Qi, which needed time to refine and would leave behind hidden injuries.


    Zhao Feng found that the recovery rate of his mutated bloodline wasn''t very high, but the energy absorbed was already refined by the igniting effect. Overall, although it wasn''t good to use it forever, using this ability had small repercussion.


    Peng! Peng! Boom~~~~!


    The wings behind Zhao Feng fluttered as he fought with the youth.


    "How is this possible?" The youth felt more and more helpless as time passed, and his injuries were only becoming worse. He was starting to feel weak, while Zhao Feng only become fiercer and seemed to want to fight him forever.


    That''s about it¡­. The lifesteal effect only works during close combat, and its best when the two bodies are touching, Zhao Feng concluded through real combat.


    The ability that this bloodline displayed was comparable to the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline, perhaps even slightly better. More importantly though, this mutated bloodline was perfect for his Sacred Lightning Body.

 822 Extreme

    Chapter 822 - Extreme


    Through this battle, Zhao Feng confirmed that his mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline had the ability of lifestealing. This bloodline power could greatly increase Zhao Feng''s battle-power and recovery speed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sound of flying appeared right at this moment. These figures were some half-step Kings belonging to the groups behind the three Kings. If these people arrived, the battle situation would change since some of them had battle-power comparable to a King.


    "Let''s end this." Zhao Feng''s metallic silver-blue body suddenly became taller as he circulated the Sacred Body''s power to the maximum, causing the King''s body to become heavy.


    At the same moment:


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng''s mutated bloodline started to boil as the image of a blood-red sun appeared behind him, which seemed to contain a twisting whirlpool. At this moment, Zhao Feng seemed to become a demonic sovereign as his metallic body bathed in the sunlight.


    The nearby beasts and the human experts felt their blood start to heat up and burn, and they trembled with uneasiness.


    "What? This is his peak strength¡­!?" The young King''s expression changed dramatically. His face went slightly white as he started to become unable to breathe.


    Crack~~~~!


    Zhao Feng sent out a punch, and the force of his Sacred Body was like Mount Tai as it exploded and burned the target.


    "Arghh!" The youth''s defense crumpled like paper as he was sent flying by the dominating punch.


    Wah!


    The youth spat out a mouthful of blood as his body went flying, and a layer of red flames covered his body.


    Plop!


    The youth fell onto the ground and his face was pale. He was already scorched as he tried to put out the flames.


    The young King seemed to have lost his soul; he couldn''t believe what was happening. Those that could enter the Divine Illusion Dimension were top geniuses, and Kings were all people that came from three-star forces.


    He never expected the purple-haired youth could use physical force to make him vomit blood. He hadn''t even used his Soul eye-bloodline techniques.


    Bo~~


    After injuring the young King with one punch, Zhao Feng felt a warm sensation flow back into his body and heal it.


    The mutated bloodline''s lifesteal was at work, and it was even more effective than before. Zhao Feng realized that, the more damage the target took, the better lifesteal''s effect.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Green flames shot out from Zhao Feng''s shoes as he forcefully interfered with the fight between Nan Gongsheng and the other two Kings.


    "How¡­!?"


    The middle-aged male and the youth in white couldn''t believe it. That young King was the number one prodigy of a three-star force. How could he be so easily defeated by an Origin Core Realm?


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng smashed his fist toward the youth in white with utmost speed and explosive power.


    This youth in white was also a peerless prodigy of a three-star force. However, the instant Zhao Feng''s attack arrived, a strong burning force caused the young King''s body to feel heavy and dry.


    Crack!


    The youth''s defense broke, and the Blood Devil Sun fire extended across his body.


    With just one punch, the youth in white was forced to retreat and almost spit out blood. This was under the situation that the youth in white was ready for it.


    Such explosive force obviously expended a lot of Zhao Feng''s energy, but the lifestealing effect of his mutated bloodline replenished it.


    Peng! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng joining the fight instantly turned the tide. Nan Gongsheng used his spatial techniques to support him, instantly forcing the two Kings into desperation. They were originally unable to gain the advantage against Nan Gongsheng alone; Nan Gongsheng even had a slight advantage.


    In just a breath or two, the middle-aged male and the youth in white were pushed back, and both of them were injured.


    "What is this bloodline? It has such explosive strength! It''s similar to the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, but it''s way more terrifying." Blood dripped out of the middle-aged male''s mouth.


    The Sacred Lightning Body and the Blood Devil Sun bloodline together were unparalleled in terms of close combat. The Sacred Lightning Body had great raw strength, and the lifestealing effect could allow his explosive force to last a long time.


    Sou! Sou! Sou~~~~!


    At this moment in time, the expressions of some arriving half-step Kings and peak Great Origin Core Realms changed as they saw this scene. This pair of males with purple hair were wicked and strange. They had actually forced the middle-aged male in yellow robes and the other two Kings to retreat and even injured them.


    "Retreat." The middle-aged yellow-robed male gritted his teeth as he gave the order.


    "Leave behind the chariot and I won''t kill you," Zhao Feng said calmly.


    Shua!


    He waved his hand, and a tall, ugly female scorpionman appeared.


    "Go!" With a thought, Zhao Feng made the ugly female scorpionman charge toward the reinforcements like a ghost.


    So fast! The arriving half-step Kings were attacked by the crazy female scorpionman. Some weaker half-step Kings weren''t even able to touch the female scorpionman at all.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    Sparks flew as some attacks landed on the black metallic armor of the female scorpionman.


    "Arghh!"


    A scream soon sounded from the group as a slow Great Origin Core Realm was cut by the female scorpionman''s claw and instantly died. Her poison could kill almost anyone below the Void God Realm.


    "Everyone, watch out!"


    "Apart her soul, this female scorpionman''s speed, offense, and defense have all reached the level of a King."


    The reinforcements were stalled by the female scorpionman. This scene changed the three Kings'' expressions dramatically.


    The purple-eyed youth displayed terrifying Soul eye-bloodline techniques, a powerful body, a shocking bloodline, a powerful lightning wings secret technique, and plenty of other things. It was hard to guess what other skills this mysterious youth had.


    "Thief, treat others the way you wish to be treated." The middle-aged male''s expression was grim.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng floated in the air side by side with cold expressions. Their purple hair was blowing in the wind and looked extremely wicked.


    The three Kings looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other''s eyes. The middle-aged male in yellow finally gritted his teeth and threw the flaming chariot to Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    Sou! Sou!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng landed swiftly inside the flaming chariot.


    This chariot could fit six or seven people at most, and it had an old design.


    Weng~~


    The chariot unleashed a wave of green flames when True Yuan was put into it. At the same time, a green barrier covered the chariot, which could block the wind.


    "Not bad." Zhao Feng nodded his head and summoned back the female scorpionman.


    Flying was extremely tiring in the Divine Illusion Dimension since it was a high-ranked dimension, and this chariot could be used with Primal Crystal Stones.


    Whoosh!


    The three Kings could only watch as the two thieves sat on the flaming chariot and flew away.


    "Utterly ridiculous, those two thieves¡­!"


    "That chariot was the most valuable treasure we''ve found in the Divine Illusion Dimension so far."


    The three Kings were full of hatred; they were so angry that they started to tremble. They originally wanted to steal the Water-elemental treasure off Zhao Feng, but they were stolen from instead.


    However, these three didn''t dare to stay for too long, so they flew away with their groups.


    "I can''t suppress this anger." The youths gritted their teeth.


    "I have a messaging item from when I worked with Xin Wuheng. If he''s close, he should be able to sense it." The youth in white took out a unique silver-colored crystal.


    Most messaging items were useless in the Divine Illusion Dimension. Some of the higher-ranked ones could be used, but the range was dramatically reduced.


    "Hmm? There''s a response." The youth in white revealed a joyful expression.


    Half a day later, the three Kings led a total of more than two hundred elites toward an ancient stone tomb.


    "You''re here¡­."


    On top of the tomb sat a normal male in a t-shirt. His eyes seemed to be extremely old.


    "Xin Wuheng!"


    The three Kings'' hearts shook. They had teamed up with Xin Wuheng before for a while but then split up later.


    Xin Wuheng soon learned why they came.


    "I can help you, but your three forces need to help me dig the treasures out of the underground tomb. I get 60% of the cut and the rest of you get 40%," Xin Wuheng said.


    Hearing that, the three Kings'' expressions became weird.


    "Xin Wuheng, with your strength, you need our help?" one of the youths asked.


    "My strength is limited. With your help, we can clean out this tomb faster and more easily." Xin Wuheng was emotionless.


    A small number of geniuses that entered the Divine Illusion Dimension acted alone, but it was more difficult for them whenever there was a huge task. More people meant more manpower, intelligence, and teamwork, which meant they could be more efficient.


    Zhao Feng knew this as well but decided to walk down a different path from Xin Wuheng; Zhao Feng stole resources from others. The advantage of this was that it required less effort, but it would create enemies. It was far riskier to do this.


    When Zhao Feng left the Divine Illusion Dimension, he would realize that he had offended many different forces and prodigies.


    Other than the risk factor, Xin Wuheng was just nicer. His morals didn''t allow him to steal from others.


    "Deal!"


    The three Kings discussed for a while before agreeing. At least Xin Wuheng wouldn''t steal from them since he was an honest person.


    Next to a stream at the bottom of a cliff, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng returned to their secret spot and started to cultivate.


    "I now have the Wind Lightning Crystal Core of a King, the Sky Water Crystal Lotus, and the Water Mother Essence. They will be able to increase my cultivation greatly."


    Zhao Feng started to think. His initial goal was to break through to the Great Origin Core Realm, but his path of cultivation had changed compared to before.


    "The mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline has the ability to lifesteal, which can increase my recovery speed to a shocking level. Therefore, the amount of True Yuan I have doesn''t mean too much."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled as he made a decision.


    The quality of his True Yuan determined how explosive his battle-power would be while the quantity of his True Yuan determined how long he could last.


    However, since he had this mutated bloodline, Zhao Feng was planning to go down an extreme path. He was going to focus on the quality and strength of his True Yuan in the Divine Illusion Dimension in order to give himself the most extreme battle-power.

 823 Breaking Through

    Chapter 823 - Breaking Through


    Next to the stream at the bottom of the cliff, Zhao Feng sat down and started to calmly cultivate. The little thieving cat played with the dark golden necklace and lazily protected its master.


    "Water Mother Essence, Crystal Core of a King¡­."


    Two treasures appeared in each of Zhao Feng''s hands, which were respectively of the Water element and Wind Lightning element.


    The Crystal Core of the King contained the essence of Wind Lightning, and only a small proportion had been used. On the other hand, 50-60% of the Water Mother Essence had been used, so it didn''t have much left, but since he now had the Water-elemental Sky Water Crystal Lotus that was even rarer, he didn''t need to be so careful with the Water Mother Essence.


    Now that he had a large amount of resources, Zhao Feng could cultivate with no bottleneck.


    His soul and Intent were both extremely high-level, and the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was close to the peak 6th level. His mastery of it had actually exceeded his cultivation.


    However, Zhao Feng was now focusing on the strength and quality of his True Yuan. He longer cared as much about the size of his Crystal Core or the level of his cultivation.


    Soon:


    Weng~~


    A deep blue whirlpool started to form above Zhao Feng''s head as wind and lightning danced. The momentum created from this had exceeded some Great Origin Core Realms and was already comparable to half-step Kings.


    Time passed by, and the power of the Water Mother Essence was being expended. Zhao Feng didn''t feel anything at all as he refined and compressed his True Yuan. The Crystal Core within his body started to expand naturally.


    A day and a night passed by:


    Crack!


    The Water Mother Essence in Zhao Feng''s hand turned into dust. The size of Zhao Feng''s Crystal Core was close to the limit of the Small Origin Core Realm, but the strength and quality of it was almost at the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    At the same time, he was digesting the Spiritual Fruit from the Ancient Dream Realm in his body, which could purify his True Yuan and strengthen his bloodline. The Ancient Dream Realm Spiritual Fruit allowed Zhao Feng''s True Yuan to become purer, as if it was from the ancient era.


    "The power of my True Yuan is close to a peak Great Origin Core Realm''s," Zhao Feng murmured.


    He had the Sacred Lightning Body, the Wind Lightning Technique, and his mutated bloodline. The Sacred Lightning Body had reached the peak 4th level and could fight with normal Kings for a while. In the fight earlier, Zhao Feng used the Sacred Lightning Body as the main force and the Wind Lightning Technique as support, using its power to give him more agility and speed.


    "Sky Water Crystal Lotus."


    Zhao Feng held a perfect crystal-like pure lotus in his hands. It seemed to be a crystal straight out of a dream.


    A strong surge of Water Yuan Qi appeared as the crystal lotus was taken out.


    Boom!


    Waves appeared in the nearby bodies of water, and some Water-elemental beasts all sensed it. This was the disruption caused by the Sky Water Crystal Lotus.


    "Hmm?"


    The Ice Imperial Spear and the Ice-Water bloodline within Zhao Feng''s bloodline started to tremble with excitement as well.


    Zhao Feng''s Ice-Water bloodline came from the God''s Spiritual Eye and was mainly used for recovery and defense while the mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline was for offense. This combination meant that Zhao Feng''s bloodline was truly perfect compared to his previous life.


    Weng~~


    The powers of the Sky Water Crystal Lotus and the Crystal Core King surged into Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, the dark blue whirlpool above Zhao Feng''s head started to become bigger and bigger until lit formed a thick layer of thunderclouds. The water beasts attracted over by the Sky Water Crystal Lotus all started to retreat and didn''t dare to steal it.


    Hmm? Zhao Feng suddenly realized that the Ice-Water bloodline and Ice Imperial Spear within his body started to move. The Ice Imperial Spear existed as a liquid state when it was in his bloodline, and part of the energy absorbed from the Sky Water Crystal Lotus went toward his bloodline and was then absorbed by the Ice Imperial Spear.


    This scene made Zhao Feng surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood.


    The Sky Water Crystal Lotus was both a mineral and a plant. It could be used as a medicine to cultivate, and it could also be used to craft Heaven-grade weapons and Inheritance Sacred Weapons, so it was extremely valuable.


    Zhao Feng watched it closely but didn''t stop it.


    Bo~~ Bo~~


    The power of the Sky Water Crystal Lotus split into two streams when it entered his body.


    One of them was calm and smooth, and it was absorbed by Zhao Feng''s body and Crystal Core.


    The other stream was colder and more dominant, and it formed a materialized petal of a lotus that was absorbed by his Ice-Water bloodline and Ice Imperial Spear.


    "So that''s how it is. Only the plant part of the Sky Water Crystal Lotus can be absorbed by the human body while the mineral part of it is used to craft Water-elemental weapons and Inheritance Sacred Weapons."


    Zhao Feng understood. This sudden change meant that he was able to use the Sky Water Crystal Lotus much more efficiently, otherwise Zhao Feng would need to refine and purify it to get rid of the parts that were unable to be absorbed.


    Half a day later, the size of Zhao Feng''s Crystal Core had expanded to a deep pond.


    "As expected of a Water-elemental treasure; it allowed me to break through to the Great Origin Core Realm so quickly."


    Zhao Feng laughed.


    The Sky Water Crystal Lotus and the Crystal Core of a King allowed Zhao Feng to have no bottleneck. At the same time, Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had reached the limit of the 6th level, and it would form the next element from the 7th level onward ¨C the Wood of Wind Lightning.


    The different elements allowed Zhao Feng to no longer worry about being countered. The only weakness was that, because there was a lot to cultivate, progress would be slow, but when the Sacred Lightning Body was refined by the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, it would be extremely resilient against the five elements.


    It could be said that there were disadvantages as well as advantages.


    "Congratulations," Nan Gongsheng congratulated from not far away. He was witnessing Zhao Feng''s recovery and had complex emotions, including expectation. He wanted to witness the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor at his peak.


    Of course, Nan Gongsheng had also become much stronger. The Evil God Crystal and dozens of substandard God Crystals almost completely materialized his spatial domain. Its strength was far stronger than normal domains.


    Apart from that, he had also successfully merged the power of the God Crystals into his Crystal Core. In terms of strength and quality of True Yuan, Nan Gongsheng''s exceeded other Kings of the same cultivation.


    However, the frenzied increase in strength made Nan Gongsheng realize that he had been affected by the wicked power of the Evil God Crystal. Luckily, he had the Mind Calming Pearl with him; this item could consolidate and purify the soul. It could also withstand soul attacks to a certain degree, and it could get rid of heart demons.


    If that wasn''t the case, Nan Gongsheng''s rapid increase in strength would mean that his attitude would have already been twisted by the wicked power of the Evil God Crystal.


    However, even with the Mind Calming Pearl, Nan Gongsheng wasn''t able to fully block the wicked force. It had started to slowly erode his Intent. After all, the Evil God Crystal was apparently made from the power of an Evil God.


    "Water Soul Pearl." Nan Gongsheng let out a long breath as a half-transparent glass-like pearl appeared in his hand.


    The Water Soul Pearl was found in the caves where the Sky Water Crystal Lotus was, and it had the ability to heal, strengthen, and purify the soul. Using this Soul pearl, Nan Gongsheng''s soul was cleansed and started to become clearer and slightly stronger.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng warned me beforehand.


    Nan Gongsheng circulated his Intent and True Yuan to refine the energy from the Evil God Crystal.


    Another day and night passed.


    60% of the Sky Water Crystal Lotus''s essence was absorbed by the Ice Imperial Spear while the other 40% was stored within Zhao Feng. The aura of the Ice Imperial Spear in his bloodline was now close to the Sky Locking Bow, the Qiankun Sword, and other Inheritance Sacred Weapons.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but nod his head. The Ice Imperial Spear was indeed a good weapon, and it had been refined in the Heaven''s Legacy City as well. This time, it merged with the Sky Water Crystal Lotus, which was one of the best Water-elemental materials. It could be said to be perfect.


    The majority of the other 40% of calm energy from the Sky Water Crystal Lotus was stored in his body, while a small proportion of it was already absorbed.


    At this point in time, the size of Zhao Feng''s Crystal Core was at the early stages of the Great Origin Core Realm, but the actual strength of it was several times stronger than others of the same cultivation.


    "If I absorb all the remaining calm energy from the Sky Water Crystal Lotus, the quality of my True Yuan will be at least comparable to half-step King''s¡­." Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled.


    After several days of cultivation, Zhao Feng''s strength had increased dramatically.


    As of right now, his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was at the peak 4th level, and it was facing a big bottleneck.


    The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was at the peak 6th level and had the chance to break through to the 7th, but it required some more foundation.


    "There''s one more left." Zhao Feng ate another Ancient Dream Realm Spiritual Fruit and glanced at the last remaining one on the big tree.


    The Spiritual Fruits from the Ancient Dream Realm had the ability to purify and strengthen one''s bloodline. It also allowed one''s True Yuan to become purer.


    Zhao Feng decided to leave the last one till the critical moment. If his Sacred Lightning Body broke through to the 5th level or his soul-strength increased, he would become much stronger.


    Zhao Feng really needed Soul Dao items right now, but they were hard to find even in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Next to the river, Zhao Feng''s aura started to fade away as he controlled every part of his power precisely.


    It was hard to imagine that he had only just broken through to the Great Origin Core Realm. To be able to reach the Great Origin Core Realm at such a young age meant that he would be a genius even in three-star powers.


    "Zhao Feng, there seems to be a weird disturbance nearby, and there are a bunch of human auras approaching," Nan Gongsheng suddenly said.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and nodded his head while the little thieving cat''s ears twitched.


    At the same instant, a rotten aura from an old tomb shot into the sky.


    Boom~~~~!


    Tremendous shaking appeared in the depths of the underground tomb alongside a roar that resounded across Heaven and Earth.


    "Xin Wuheng, you took us to such a dangerous place!!?" the middle-aged yellow male roared.


    Wu~~


    A terrifying and wicked aura started to awaken in the depths of the tomb. "Outsiders that dare to disturb the peace of the dead shall die here."


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A powerful group far away started to carefully approach this aura.


    "Eighth Prince, the Spiritual Connection Rat''s senses won''t be wrong. This is the place¡­." a bulky muscular youth in black with thick eyebrows said confidently.


    Zhi! Zhi!


    A small silver rat with long whiskers ran around on his hand.


    "Luo Zun, you''ve helped me a lot after entering the Divine Illusion Dimension. It was worth me paying a heavy price to bring you in." The Eighth Prince was full of smiles.

 824 So Many Familiar People

    Chapter 824 - So Many Familiar People


    This group of elites was from the Great Gan Imperial Family, and the leaders were Luo Zun and the Eighth Prince. Compared to when they were at the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, their auras were stronger, especially Luo Zun, who had the auras of ice and fire in his eyes.


    Wu~~


    At this moment, a powerful and wicked aura came from the depths of the tomb, causing the sky to be filled with a ghastly mist.


    "There''s something in the tomb that cultivates the Dao of Ghost Corpses, and it''s almost at the Emperor level!"


    The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun had solemn expressions. The group of imperial elites behind them set up a formation nearby in case of an emergency.


    The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun used their Divine Senses and started to enter the tomb to scout it. At this point in time, some of the arrays within the underground tomb had already been destroyed, otherwise they wouldn''t be able to sense what was beneath so easily.


    Boom!


    Shaking appeared in the underground tomb, and there seemed to be many King auras clashing.


    The material of the tomb was extremely tough, and even half-step Kings were unable to do anything to it.


    "Ignorant outsiders! You all shall be the first group that dies!" A half-bone, half-flesh skeleton several meters tall with a dark red flame around it spoke. Apart from its head, the rest of the skeleton was half bones and half flesh. It only had one eye.


    Hu~~


    A four-winged phantom suddenly appeared behind the half-flesh skeleton''s back and roared. The four-winged image was enormous, and its dominating aura seemed to suppress Heaven and Earth. Just an image already radiated Intent comparable to an Emperor.


    Although the half-flesh skeleton looked weak, its every attack could summon the power and Intent of an Emperor.


    "I''ll attract its attention. All of you, try to stop it¡­!" A normal male in a t-shirt had a solemn expression and spoke in a rush. He waved his two hands, and a profound Intent circulated around his body. Intent close to an Emperor''s could be seen in his eyes.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The force summoned by the half-flesh skeleton was slowed down and blocked by the male in a t-shirt.


    In terms of direct power, there was a big difference between the two. The situation of the male in a t-shirt was similar to walking on a tightrope; one misstep would mean he would lose a layer of skin if he wasn''t just killed instantly by the half-flesh skeleton.


    However, the expression of the male in the t-shirt remained calm. He was acting as if he was a professional.


    "As expected of Xin Wuheng. He''s even managed to stall that Emperor-level half-flesh skeleton."


    The sweat on the middle-aged yellow-robed King and the other two Kings hadn''t dried yet. The wicked aura that appeared when the half-flesh skeleton awakened made them unable to breathe. The four-winged image that had the force and Intent of an Emperor made them fall into despair, but luckily, Xin Wuheng stabilized the situation at the critical moment.


    "Set the array!"


    The three Kings supported Xin Wuheng and limited the half-flesh skeleton, and the group of elites behind them soon formed a sealing array that countered ghosts.


    "First separate the air of ghost-corpses! The half-flesh skeleton is dead and can only unleash the power of an Emperor with the help of that four-winged phantom. When it loses that outside help, its battle-power will decrease."


    The two young Kings revealed smiles. The half-flesh skeleton was dead and not very intelligent. Although it had the battle-power of an Emperor, it could only utilize about 70% of it.


    "We''ll seal or kill this half-flesh skeleton first, then think about the treasures after."


    Their gazes turned toward a bronze coffin floating in the air within the depths of the tomb. A dazzling light glittered from the surface of the ancient bronze coffin when the remnant energy of the shockwave hit it, and it released an aura of treasure that could shake one''s soul. Just the material of the coffin was close to Heaven-grade.


    "It''s him¡­! Xin Wuheng!"


    The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun were unable to hide the shock on their faces.


    "I didn''t think that Xin Wuheng had grown to such a level. Even though it''s dead, he''s able to stall an Emperor-level battle-power by himself."


    Luo Zun took a deep breath, and his eyes became sharp as the auras of fire and ice interacted. Battle-intent surged from Luo Zun, and the images of a fire domain and an ice domain started to appear.


    Double Domain! If other Kings were here, they would be stunned.


    "Brother Luo, wait! Now isn''t the time. Profit comes first." The Eighth Prince had a faint smile.


    Shua!


    The fire and ice double domain around Luo Zun started to quickly fade. The image just now was because Xin Wuheng''s appearance had ignited Luo Zun''s battle-intent. After all, he had been defeated by Xin Wuheng before, and he felt it was a humiliation.


    At this instant, Xin Wuheng and the other Kings were fighting. This was the perfect moment for them to just sit back and watch.


    "That''s right, if we fight head-on, they have more Kings and troops." A smile formed on Luo Zun''s face. Luo Zun didn''t mind giving them a critical hit during the important moment.


    In the underground tomb, Xin Wuheng''s eyebrows furrowed slightly when he was fighting with the half-flesh skeleton. It was obvious that he had sensed the existence of the Eighth Prince and Luo Zun, and they might strike when the iron was still hot.


    This meant that Xin Wuheng''s side had to be extremely careful with every step they took. However, the threat that the half-flesh skeleton posed was gradually decreasing as it fell into the sealing array that they had created.


    The benefits of forming a group were revealed here. If it was Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng here, they would be unable to restrict the Emperor ghost.


    "Should we go and interfere?" Luo Zun had a cunning smile.


    "I feel like Xin Wuheng''s conserving his strength." The Eighth Prince hesitated.


    Xin Wuheng was one of the most important subordinates of the Fourth Prince, who was the top competitor for being the Crown Prince.


    Of course, the Fourth Prince was over a hundred years old and was much too strong to enter the Divine Illusion Dimension. This time, only the Eighth, Ninth, and Thirteenth Princes had entered the Divine Illusion Dimension. Of the three, the Eighth Prince had the strongest force.


    The Ninth Prince was the most talented and strongest individual amongst them, but since he was a half-illegitimate child, he was a step behind the other princes.


    The Thirteenth Prince was the youngest, and he was average in every aspect, but the Sacred Emperor liked him the most.


    Zhi! Zhi!


    At this moment, the Spiritual Connection Rat suddenly started to screech and point in a certain direction.


    "Hmm?"


    Luo Zun and the Eighth Prince''s lines of thoughts were broken.


    This Spiritual Connection Rat was a rare beast that Luo Zun had obtained when he was young, and it was extremely intelligent. In terms of battle-power, it was extremely average, but it could sense the aura of treasures, specialized in digging holes, and its escaping abilities were top-notch.


    The reason why Luo Zun could become the number one genius of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone and excelled in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty wasn''t just because of his talent and the effort he put in. It was also because of the Spiritual Connection Rat. Over the past couple dozen years, this Spiritual Connection Rat had brought him much fortune. A couple times, it brought him such fortune that it changed his life.


    The Eighth Prince had paid a big price in order to bring Luo Zun in, and one of the reasons was because of his Spiritual Connection Rat. In order to increase the success rate, Luo Zun had suppressed his cultivation, and he only formed the double domain after entering the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "That''s¡­!"


    Luo Zun and the Eighth Prince looked into the distance and saw an old flaming chariot flying through the air.


    The aura radiating from the tomb was too shocking, so it attracted many others. Many individuals and groups were watching from afar. However, since they didn''t have any Void God Realm Kings, they didn''t dare to interfere.


    "That chariot seems to have been created by the Heaven''s Legacy Race." The Eighth Prince revealed a weird look. The owner of the flaming chariot definitely wouldn''t be average.


    "It''s him¡­!" Luo Zun exclaimed as he saw the two figures on the flaming chariot clearly.


    Both figures had purple hair. One of them wore black clothes, and Luo Zun didn''t recognize him. However, the other purple-haired male was a handsome youth that Luo Zun would recognize even if he had been burnt into ashes.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!" Some of the nearby watching experts exclaimed.


    "Quick, hide all your treasures!"


    "Keep your distance! The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo are known for stealing from anyone!"


    One of the groups hiccupped when they heard the title of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, and another even immediately ran away.


    The flaming chariot soon arrived in the air above the tomb.


    "Zhe zhe zhe¡­ what luck. There are so many familiar people here," Zhao Feng laughed and spoke while inspecting the underground tomb.


    Luo Zun and the Eighth Prince had unusual expressions and thought that Zhao Feng was talking about them.


    Miao miao!


    A little silver-gray cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and gave a smile.


    Zhi! Zhi!


    The Spiritual Connection Rat on Luo Zun''s shoulder hiccupped and became full of fear. It didn''t even dare to look at the little thieving cat.


    "What¡­?" Luo Zun had a weird expression. Although the battle-power of his Spiritual Connection Rat wasn''t great, it was a rare animal that had a bloodline almost at the level of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Could Zhao Feng''s little cat be on the same level as the Ten Thousand Ancient Races?


    At this moment, the Spiritual Connection Rat was extremely scared after it saw the little thieving cat, as rats meeting cats are wont to do.


    "Thieving cat, don''t scare our little friend." Zhao Feng reached out and threw the little thieving cat into his ancient metal ring. The little thieving cat was one of his hidden cards in the Divine Illusion Dimension; he didn''t want to reveal it so soon.


    In the underground tomb, although Xin Wuheng and company felt the new auras from above, they were fighting and didn''t have the time to inspect them.


    Luo Zun''s expression was grim, and he put the Spiritual Connection Rat away. He didn''t know why, but he always felt frustrated when he met Zhao Feng.


    The Eighth Prince also felt disgusted. Next to Zhao Feng was a Domain-level King with a strong aura. In addition, seeing the reactions of the groups and individuals nearby, it seemed that the fame of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo wasn''t small, and they had stolen from a large number of people.


    "Hmm!? Although it''s related to the Dao of Ghosts, there''s an aura of a Soul Dao treasure in the underground tomb." Zhao Feng''s heart moved, but the duo just casually watched from the side.


    "He''s just a measly Origin Core Realm¡­!" Luo Zun suppressed the anger in his heart and wanted to teach him a lesson but was stopped by the Eighth Prince.


    "To the two who just arrived, are you willing to team up and take the benefits below together?" The Eighth Prince gave an elegant and peaceful smile.

 825 Powerful Kick

    Chapter 825 - Powerful Kick


    "To the two who just arrived, are you willing to team up and take the benefits below together?"


    The Eighth Prince''s suggestion slightly surprised Zhao Feng.


    The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun ¨C especially Luo Zun ¨C obviously didn''t like Zhao Feng. Luo Zun even had to go out of his way to suppress his urge to attack Zhao Feng on the spot.


    Zhao Feng is not simple; Duke Nanfeng owes him a favor and thinks well of him. Besides, Xin Wuheng is the biggest threat right now. The Eight Prince''s eyes twinkled as he started to think.


    At this moment, the strength that Xin Wuheng had displayed in the underground tomb exceeded their expectations. Furthermore, Xin Wuheng had three more Void God Realm Kings and all the elites behind them. Therefore, teaming up was a good choice.


    There was no such thing as an eternal enemy, only eternal profit.


    "That suggestion''s not bad." Zhao Feng started to think, and a smile appeared on his face.


    As of right now, Xin Wuheng''s side had too many people, so it was too strong. It disturbed the balance.


    Zhao Feng agreeing so quickly surprised everyone. The enmity between Zhao Feng and the Luo Zun back in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone couldn''t be dissolved. Zhao Feng and the Eighth Prince didn''t exactly like each other either.


    "But I have some conditions."


    Zhao Feng paused.


    The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun looked at each other and felt surprised. No matter how they looked at it, this Zhao Feng didn''t seem like a fifteen-year-old youth. On top of that, among this so-called Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, Zhao Feng was the speaker while the youth with a nose ring and a powerful wicked aura didn''t say anything. They just couldn''t see through Zhao Feng.


    "What are your conditions?" The Eighth Prince really wanted to team up.


    "We split the treasures in the coffin depending on our own skill and ability, and you need to deal with Xin Wuheng afterward," Zhao Feng slowly said.


    The Eighth Prince''s and Luo Zun''s eyebrows furrowed. Xin Wuheng was immeasurable, and based on the current strength he was displaying, the Eighth Prince and Luo Zun would need to team up in order to handle him.


    In addition, the Eighth Prince, Luo Zun, and Nan Gongsheng all felt like Zhao Feng seemed to know Xin Wuheng.


    "Fine." The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun agreed after some thinking. However, what they didn''t know was that the middle-aged yellow-robed King and company had already been defeated and plundered by the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    Right at this point in time, the shaking in the underground tomb decreased by a lot.


    "We''ve almost succeeded." The yellow-robed middle-aged King, the other two Kings, and all their elites had successfully restrained the half-flesh skeleton.


    Wu~


    The half-flesh skeleton started to struggle and the four-winged image behind its back started to shake, but it mainly disturbed the soul-dimension, most of which was dissolved by Xin Wuheng. The soul-strength Xin Wuheng displayed was close to the Emperor level, and even in terms of Intent, he was already comparable to an Emperor.


    Weng~~


    A triangular multi-colored array sealed the half-flesh skeleton and shot out golden chains to bind it.


    The half-flesh skeleton was about to be completely sealed, and they only needed a moment more before they could start thinking about the bronze coffin.


    "Watch out!" Xin Wuheng exclaimed at this critical moment.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    Surges of powerful auras one after another flowed through the pathway toward the depths of the tomb.


    "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Xin Wuheng, such a day has come even for you!" Luo Zun roared, and his expression turned deadly


    Xin Wuheng''s group had used all their power and were finally about to seal the half-flesh skeleton.


    As soon as he finished speaking:


    Boom!


    The domains of ice and fire appeared behind Luo Zun''s back and charged toward Xin Wuheng with a blue and red aura. In an instant, Luo Zun''s eyes seemed to turn red and blue respectively. The area was suddenly filled with fire and ice, bringing pain to both the mental and physical dimensions.


    Luo Zun hid himself quite deeply. His true battle-power is extremely close to Jiu Wuji''s. The only difference between them is cultivation. Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    In order to increase the chance of successfully entering the Divine Illusion Dimension, Luo Zun suppressed his cultivation and only formed his domains after entering.


    "Double domain? Unfortunately, your foundation is too weak, so it has many flaws." Xin Wuheng smiled as Luo Zun''s attack went for his back. He turned around and raised one hand.


    "What!?" The Eighth Prince, Luo Zun, and Nan Gongsheng were all shocked. From the current situation, it seemed like Xin Wuheng was planning to fight the Eighth Prince and company with one hand while still sealing the half-flesh skeleton with his other.


    "This Xin Wuheng¡­" Nan Gongsheng was seeing Xin Wuheng for the first time, and this was the first time seeing such an immeasurable person from the same generation other than Zhao Feng.


    "Break!" Xin Wuheng pointed out with one finger, and a condensed ice-and-fire domain broke through Luo Zun''s double domain.


    Peng!


    Luo Zun was pushed back, and his blood boiled in disbelief. "How is this possible¡­!? Could you have comprehended the double domain of ice and fire as well!?"


    At this point, Luo Zun was filled with defeat and humiliation once again. The difference between the two hadn''t changed compared to before. Xin Wuheng only needed one hand to clash with Luo Zun and force him back.


    "Hahahaha¡­! As expected of Xin Wuheng. The half-flesh skeleton is about to be sealed." The yellow-robed middle-aged King and the other two Kings laughed.


    Once they succeeded in sealing it, all of them would be able to use their full strength. However, their expressions soon became ugly.


    Whoosh!


    Two purple-haired males appeared in the center of the tomb.


    "Hehe, so it''s the Five Elemental Domain." Zhao Feng laughed lightly as his eyes scanned over Xin Wuheng, who was using the ice-and-fire domain to block Luo Zun and the Eighth Prince.


    "Who are you?" Hearing that voice, Xin Wuheng''s expression changed slightly, and he looked over at the purple-haired youth. He felt that this youth was somewhat familiar, but he couldn''t remember. After all, the two hadn''t met for nine years, and Zhao Feng''s appearance, skills, and even the aura of his soul had changed dramatically compared to when he was in the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. Back then, Zhao Feng''s hair was still blue, and he still wasn''t using his eye-bloodline yet.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng circled past and headed toward the ancient bronze coffin behind them.


    "Thieves, don''t even think about it!" The expressions of the yellow-robed male and the others changed dramatically as they roared and tried to stop Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    Boom! Weng~~


    Nan Gongsheng laughed coldly as a silver-purple domain appeared around them and absorbed the three Kings'' attacks.


    "What a strong spatial domain."


    "The strength of this thief is increasing so quickly."


    The hearts of both friend and foe alike shook. Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain and True Yuan contained a force that made the True Yuan of even Kings shake. The expressions of Xin Wuheng, the Eighth Prince, Luo Zun, and company all became solemn.


    "Ice Imperial Barrier!" A ripple of icy power flowed around Zhao Feng and formed an freezing barrier.


    Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s combined defense was impenetrable. After merging with the Sky Water Crystal Lotus, the Ice Imperial Spear''s strength had increased, and combined with Nan Gongsheng''s strong domain, they easily charged over to the ancient coffin.


    "Not good!" Xin Wuheng realized that he was losing control of the situation.


    The nose-ringed youth''s ability was unique, and his battle-power was extremely strong. He also couldn''t see through the other purple-haired youth either. One thing was for sure though ¨C the yellow-robed middle-aged male and company were definitely not their match.


    However, Xin Wuheng was barely able to seal the half-flesh skeleton and still block the combined attacks of Luo Zun and the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince''s strength seemed to actually surpass Luo Zun''s a bit, and he even seemed to be conserving it.


    Bam!


    The ancient bronze coffin in the depths of the tomb started to glow with a brilliant light. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had faced the three Kings'' attacks and landed on the ancient bronze coffin.


    "That coffin can be used to craft Heaven-grade weapons, and it''s an important material of Inheritance weapons related to the Wicked Dao ¨C Mystic Yin Ancient Bronze." The Eighth Prince took a deep breath as he looked at it. If he could obtain this ancient coffin, it would help the imperials and himself greatly.


    However, Zhao Feng wasn''t interested in it. He was only interested in the wicked Soul Dao treasure that was within it. It was extremely alluring to him because he only needed to strengthen his soul a bit more and he would be able to truly awaken his Emperor Intent, which would increase his power by leaps and bounds.


    "Open!" Zhao Feng roared as one of his feet kicked toward the ancient bronze coffin.


    "That brat dares to use his foot to kick the Mystic Yin Ancient Bronze!? Its material isn''t just tough, it also contains a terrifyingly wicked power." Mockery appeared on the Eighth Prince''s and Luo Zun''s faces.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng''s foot kicked the ancient bronze coffin, and a deep thud resounded across the entire underground tomb. A strong shockwave and a cloud of dust flew into the air. The force of this kick made the blood of everyone present rise.


    "What a strong physical body!" The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun were stunned. They hadn''t met for several months and Zhao Feng had already reached this stage.


    Crack!


    A tiny gap was pushed open by the forceful kick and released a shocking treasure aura. One of them was a wicked Soul Dao aura that suppressed everyone''s soul; this was the treasure Zhao Feng needed.


    Zhao Feng''s body shook slightly as the green shoes on his feet shot out green flames and blocked the recoil from the Mystic Yin Ancient Bronze alongside a bright red flame.


    "What a precise kick!" Xin Wuheng couldn''t help but cheer.

 826 Fighting Xin Wuheng Once Again

    Chapter 826 - Fighting Xin Wuheng Once Again


    Only Xin Wuheng noticed how much power was contained in Zhao Feng''s kick. If it was just pure power, the recoil from the material of the ancient bronze coffin by itself would be enough to injure even Void God Realm Kings. Even with Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body, he wouldn''t have been able to remain unharmed.


    However, his kick landed directly in the gaps of the ancient bronze coffin and disperse its energy throughout. At the same time, the green shoes on Zhao Feng''s feet also helped.


    As for the recoil of the Mystic Yin Ancient Bronze, that was resolved by Zhao Feng''s mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    "What a pure surge of Mystic Yin."


    Zhao Feng''s body slightly shook as he felt the wicked power contained within the material of the ancient bronze coffin. However, the coffin itself wasn''t of much use to him. The Soul Dao treasure within the coffin was what he was after.


    Ta!


    Zhao Feng''s second kick was even more forceful as it landed in the gaps of the ancient bronze coffin again.


    Bam!


    This time, most of the coffin''s lid was kicked off.


    Hu~~


    Treasures with wicked auras made the dark underground tomb turn bright, and it revealed a broken skeleton within.


    The most obvious and eye-catching item was a robe made of silk. It had a smooth green glow around it as it lay beneath the skeleton. Apart from that, there was a piece of jade the size of a baby''s fist that radiated a warmth that filled the entire coffin. There were various other accessories and items that were also valuable.


    "Brat, don''t even think about taking all of that for yourself." The middle-aged yellow-robed King and company teamed up and formed a muddy-yellow domain with their three Magnificent Powers.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng felt heavy as they clashed with the three Kings.


    Eh? Where''s the Soul Dao treasure? Zhao Feng felt the wicked aura of a Soul Dao treasure, but he couldn''t find it.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Amidst the fighting, the lid of the coffin was flipped open, revealing a purple-and-black stone.


    "It''s a Soul Suppressing Stone!"


    The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun suddenly flew toward the coffin and didn''t bother with Xin Wuheng.


    In reality, Xin Wuheng was the closest to the ancient bronze coffin, but since the half-flesh skeleton was in the way, Zhao Feng had to take a detour.


    At this moment, the half-flesh skeleton was about to be fully sealed, so Xin Wuheng turned and entered the fight for the treasures.


    Boom!


    At this point in time, many Kings clashed with one another and created chaos. Some treasures were sent flying into the air.


    "So it''s a Soul Suppressing Stone. No wonder it absorbed so much wicked Soul power."


    Zhao Feng wasn''t interested in the other treasures.


    "Sacred Lightning Body!" Zhao Feng''s silver-blue metallic body grew taller as invisible arcs of lightning pushed back all powers around him.


    Peng~


    The green shoes on his feet unleashed a force that pushed away two nearby Kings like a bull. He then reached out and grabbed the Soul Suppressing Stone.


    The Soul Suppressing Stone radiated a terrifyingly wicked aura that even normal Kings were scared of approaching. Zhao Feng used his strong physical body to grab the Soul Suppressing Stone and used the power of his soul to block the wicked erosion within it.


    "What a terrifyingly wicked Soul power!"


    Zhao Feng''s soul had to face round after round of attacks. Just the shockwaves made nearby Kings panic as their souls were eroded.


    Seeing this, the nearby Kings all pulled away from Zhao Feng.


    The Eighth Prince and company acted as if they were looking at a monster. The Soul Suppressing Stone had absorbed and condensed countless wicked souls. If it was left next to someone, it would disturb their cultivation and give them heart demons. There was nothing good that could come from such a thing.


    However, while others wanted to evade the Soul Suppressing Stone, Zhao Feng went to take it.


    "Zezeze, idiot human, your body isn''t bad¡­." a gruesome voice sounded from the Soul Suppressing Stone. The owner of the voice was a partial spirit similar to the Purple Saint Partial Spirit.


    "Partial spirit of a Sacred Lord!" Xin Wuheng''s expression changed as he also pulled away from the Soul Suppressing Stone and started to fight for other treasures.


    "Hahaha¡­! That thief is retarded. What a good opportunity, and he just had to go for the most troublesome Soul Suppressing Stone." The middle-aged yellow-robed King and company gloated.


    There was a partial spirit of a Sacred Lord sealed within the Soul Suppressing Stone. Even though it was extremely weak, it wasn''t something Kings could deal with.


    Boom!


    The soul-dimension started to shake as the Sacred Lord partial spirit sealed within the Soul Suppressing Stone formed a magnificent Intent and charged toward the body of this Origin Core Realm human. It was as if Heaven and Earth itself was trembling.


    "You reap what you sow." Mockery and coldness appeared in Luo Zun''s eyes.


    Bam! Bam!


    At this point, the experts were fighting over the other treasures in the air, and they all pulled away from Zhao Feng in case he was eroded by the wicked demonic Intent.


    Nan Gongsheng was fighting for the Cloud Silk Robes, which had the largest size. His speed and offense were both top-tier; if he had a strong defensive treasure as well, it would be perfect.


    Nan Gongsheng was originally worried for Zhao Feng, but a voice that said, "Don''t bother about me" sounded in his head. This voice was extremely calm and gave Nan Gongsheng some unknown confidence that allowed him to compete for the Cloud Silk Robes without worry. He remembered that the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor at his peak could threaten even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    "Zezeze¡­."


    Amidst wicked laughter, the Sacred Lord partial spirit entered Zhao Feng''s Soul Sea.


    In the dimension of his left eye, Zhao Feng''s purple Soul Sea was two or three hundred yards wide, and at the very center was a blue lake.


    "Hmm¡­. Wait¡­!" The Sacred Lord partial spirit''s expression changed dramatically when it entered Zhao Feng''s soul world. He was stunned by an immortal and undying Lightning Tribulation aura.


    "What a weak partial spirit. Go die." Zhao Feng laughed coldly as two hundred symbols of God Tribulation Lightning glowed in his purple Soul Sea.


    "What!? The aura of God Tribulation¡­!?" The Sacred Lord partial spirit screamed. It was so scared that its soul might''ve shattered at any second..


    Boom!


    The Sacred Lord partial spirit screamed as lightning smashed down into and killed it.


    This Sacred Lord partial spirit was even weaker than the Purple Saint Partial Spirit. It wasn''t much stronger than the Demigod partial thought; it could only pretend to be extremely strong due to its overwhelming Intent.


    However, it shouldn''t have charged into Zhao Feng''s Soul Sea. Since Zhao Feng''s Emperor Intent hadn''t recovered, he could only use a limited amount of God Tribulation Lightning. However, if the opponent charged directly into his Soul Sea, it would be different ¨C they would face a fierce counterattack from the God Tribulation Lightning.


    With just a thought, Zhao Feng had killed the Sacred Lord partial spirit, which scared all the other wicked partial spirits within the Soul Suppressing Stone.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng gripped the Soul Suppressing Stone tightly and put it into his metal ring.


    At the moment, the fight around the ancient bronze coffin hadn''t ended yet.


    The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun''s target was the coffin itself, and they were fighting with the middle-aged yellow-robed King and the other two Kings.


    Xin Wuheng managed to get the warm piece of jade rather quickly with his overwhelming strength.


    Nan Gongsheng''s abilities were unique and he was the fastest, so he managed to successfully acquire the Cloud Silk Robes, which was the most valuable.


    At this instant, the biggest portion of the coffin was split by the Eighth Prince and Luo Zun. The middle-aged yellow-robed King and the other two Kings weren''t the Eighth Prince''s match, so they only managed to get the lid.


    The remaining small treasures within the coffin depended on luck.


    "Xin Wuheng, you can''t let those two thieves escape."


    "That thief has obtained the Cloud Silk Robes, which is made from the silk of a Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly."


    "That robe is extremely light, but its defense is extremely strong. It is resilient to fire and water, and it''s difficult to pierce with weapons. It is also somewhat resilient to the other three elements to a certain degree."


    The middle-aged yellow-robed King and company gazed at Nan Gongsheng with hatred.


    Of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, that Zhao Feng had already been eroded by the partial spirit of a Sacred Lord and was unable to save himself. This meant that they only had to deal with Nan Gongsheng.


    "Hmph!" A sudden surge of physical force reinforced Nan Gongsheng.


    "How¡­!?" The three Kings became heavy as they looked in disbelief at the youth that just appeared.


    "How is this possible!? A Sacred Lord partial spirit did nothing?" The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun were stunned as they looked at the purple-haired youth who seemed to be perfectly fine.


    From the looks of it, Zhao Feng showed no signs of being overtaken. His aura and expression were the same as before. If he was being controlled or if the partial spirit had taken over his body, he wouldn''t be so calm.


    At this moment, all of the elites present were unsure of what to do. With Zhao Feng''s return and the completion of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, any force present would be wary. Just Nan Gongsheng''s strength alone made them wary. In terms of single combat, no one other than Xin Wuheng was confident that they could win. The other purple-haired youth was even more unfathomable ¨C he actually blocked the erosion of the Soul Suppressing Stone like a stone sinking into the ocean.


    "I don''t care who you are, but I agreed to help my three allies¡­." Xin Wuheng''s expression became slightly solemn as he surged with battle-intent.


    It was obvious that he was going to help the three Kings. Although he couldn''t see through this purple-haired youth in front of him, the latter gave him a feeling as if they knew each other.


    "Xin Wuheng, take my fist first!" Zhao Feng gave a laugh as he circulated his Sacred Body strength to the maximum, and a pair of wings made of water and lightning condensed behind him. At this instant, many elites present felt a surge of Intent that covered Heaven and Earth.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s simple punch released his physical strength as a bright red flame burned around it. The pair of Water Lightning wings on his back also fluttered and released overwhelming Intent.


    The three Kings nearby all felt a shockwave in their minds. This simple punch had a powerful Soul Dao Domain merged into it. Normal Kings would be unable to even fight back.


    Xin Wuheng''s expression changed as he took in a deep breath. He took a step forward, then created a five-colored whirlpool with his hand. The five-colored whirlpool seemed to contain an Intent that could cover everything.


    Weng~~


    The two forces clashed, then became dead-silent. The five-colored whirlpool kept on spinning around.

 827 Using Softness to Overcome Hardness

    Chapter 827 - Using Softness to Overcome Hardness


    Zhao Feng felt as if his attacks had entered a five-colored ocean, and they slowed down dramatically. The five-colored whirlpool started to twist the other way, and the middle of it seemed to boil.


    It was obvious that Zhao Feng''s mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline was very dominating since it had a burning explosion effect. It wasn''t so easy to dissolve.


    Weng~~ Weng~ Weng~


    The two powers interacted in the air for a breath before the five-colored whirlpool in Xin Wuheng''s hand suddenly started to shake and twist the other way.


    "Lightning Wings Flying Technique!''


    The wings of Water Lightning behind Zhao Feng''s back fluttered as he appeared above Xin Wuheng.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng''s original location was engulfed in a five-colored light that devoured everything within dozens of yards. The terrifying force scared everyone present.


    At the same time, they were surprised by Zhao Feng''s reaction speed.


    "Anticipation?" Xin Wuheng''s eyebrows furrowed together as he lightly swayed where he stood, but he was unharmed.


    In the first round of exchanges, both were fine, they were just surprised. Zhao Feng had attacked first and used his Soul Dao Domain, body, and bloodline in his first attack. It was extremely hard to be defended against. Zhao Feng held the initiative, but Xin Wuheng''s counterattack was also stunning.


    "Ha!" Zhao Feng''s second punch swept down from above as the green shoes on his feet increased his speed. At the same time, Zhao Feng''s metallic silver-blue body grew a bit taller. Invisible physical strength and arcs of powerful numbing lightning crushed down


    Hu~~


    At this moment, a bright flame bathed over Zhao Feng, as if he was a flaming winged war god. His speed, offense, and usage of his bloodline had all reached a peak. Furthermore, after using the Lightning Wings Flying Technique, Zhao Feng used an ambush to gain the initiative.


    Xin Wuheng''s expression changed. This youth''s attacks used pure force to suppress people. Although Xin Wuheng''s Intent was strong, he was limited when facing this primal physical force and bloodline power.


    Hu~~


    Alongside the terrifying body-strength and bloodline was also a powerful condensed Soul Dao power.


    Even someone as strong as Xin Wuheng felt his heart slightly shake. This youth''s Intent and knowledge had reached an incredible level.


    "The softest thing in the world is water." Xin Wuheng was unable to dodge the attack, so he bent down and pushed a whirlpool of water into the air with both his hands, which reflected a deep image of a lake.


    Xin Wuheng! Zhao Feng felt that his powerful body-strength and bloodline was like a muscular male who just met a gentle and quiet beauty ¨C he couldn''t use any strength. The power contained within his attack was like an erupting volcano, and he had the initiative due to his lightning-quick attack, yet Xin Wuheng''s defensive method was extremely simple ¨C using softness to overcome hardness.


    Zhao Feng''s body was extremely dominating, and his Fire-based bloodline could burn anyone. However, it seemed like his attack relied too much on the power of Yang, so Xin Wuheng''s mystic Laws of Water could counter it.


    Bam! Bam!


    The two figures separated in midair. Zhao Feng flipped in the air and landed gently on the other side as he gave a light smile. "Xin Wuheng, we haven''t fought for a long time. Not bad."


    Ever since the Pursuit of Death ended, Zhao Feng hadn''t met a true opponent. This time, battle-intent surged from the depths of his body.


    Deng! Deng!


    Xin Wuheng took two stable steps back and felt that a bit of the energy within his body had been sucked away by Zhao Feng during the exchange.


    The exchange just now was close-range, which is what Xin Wuheng specialized in and liked. However, he didn''t expect the opponent''s bloodline power to be so weird that it could absorb other people''s energy. This ability was extremely troublesome and rather disgusting.


    "Who are you?" Xin Wuheng''s eyes were extremely sharp as they locked on to Zhao Feng.


    After these two exchanges, he felt that this youth was familiar, and his words also proved that the two used to know each other. However, Xin Wuheng was still unable to confirm this person''s identity. It was hard to find anyone in his mind with such an appearance, aura, and technique. Furthermore, Zhao Feng cultivated a body-strengthening technique, which was extremely rare.


    The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun looked at this scene with shock. The purple-haired youth in their sight was extremely wicked and mysterious. He even knew Xin Wuheng, and he didn''t show any signs of fear either.


    "Even Xin Wuheng can''t see through that brat?" The middle-aged yellow-robed King and company felt troubled. In their hearts, Xin Wuheng was unfathomable, and he seemed to be a professional master. However, right now, a mysterious youth who could rival Xin Wuheng had appeared.


    Regardless of anything else, one thing was for sure ¨C the two had met and fought before.


    "Hehe, Ten Moves Xin Wuheng, I hope that the next time we fight, you can bring me an even bigger surprise." The purple-haired youth''s wings flapped as he disappeared.


    Whoosh!


    A silver-purple light flashed as Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng disappeared from the tomb.


    The speed of this retreat was so fast that no one was able to react in time.


    What speed!


    There were no signs of Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng in the underground tomb anymore.


    "Ten Moves Xin Wuheng?"


    The remaining people all looked at each and became even warier of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    "Xin Wuheng, you know that thief?"


    "Why didn''t you stop those two thieves!?"


    The middle-aged yellow-robed King and company spoke.


    "So, it''s him¡­." Xin Wuheng looked in the duo''s direction and murmured.


    A sealed and forgotten memory started to replay through his mind. It originated from Sun Feather City, when he was still young. An era of the Sacred True Dragon Gathering. In his memory, one youth had risen like a star and made him feel troubled with every step.


    "But how did he turn into that?" Xin Wuheng couldn''t help but think. With his current knowledge and some of the awakened memories of his past life, it wasn''t hard for him to guess that it was due to some method like Revival through Blood or stealing another body.


    "He didn''t even use his eye-bloodline," Xin Wuheng said.


    "That''s right¡­!" The middle-aged yellow-robed King and company instantly thought about something more terrifying. That youth''s eye-bloodline was able to control even the River Devouring Kun.


    "Indeed, he had an eye-bloodline." The Eighth Prince nodded his head. In the Duke Palace, Zhao Feng used his eye-bloodline to awaken the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    "That''s his forte and the most terrifying part about him. I never thought that he would cultivate such a profound body-strengthening technique as well." Xin Wuheng had a complex expression.


    He wouldn''t measure Zhao Feng with the standards of a Great Origin Core Realm. He felt that Zhao Feng''s Intent had reached the level of an Emperor during their exchange. This meant that Zhao Feng''s cultivation before his restart had reached a stunning level.


    "You''re just going to let them go like that?" One of the young Kings was angry.


    "I can''t catch up." Xin Wuheng shrugged his shoulders.


    In the clouds in the air:


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng sat on an extremely cool flaming chariot.


    They both specialized in speed, and with this flaming chariot that came from the Heaven''s Legacy Race, they weren''t worried about anyone catching up.


    "Zhao Feng, I thought that you would have a great battle. Why did you retreat so suddenly?"


    Nan Gongsheng felt slightly regretful. He was looking forward to Zhao Feng''s and Xin Wuheng''s standoff. He wanted to admire it as well as learn from it. Furthermore, Zhao Feng had the initiative.


    "Xin Wuheng specializes in defense. Besides, he suppressed his True Yuan cultivation to the half-step King level, otherwise we might not be able to win against him even if we team up," Zhao Feng said.


    Hearing that, Nan Gongsheng''s heart slightly shook.


    Zhao Feng knew that Xin Wuheng liked to suppress his cultivation to a level around his opponent''s. In the exchange just now, Xin Wuheng had used his domain and Intent, but he purposely didn''t suppress Zhao Feng with his True Yuan.


    Luckily, Xin Wuheng specialized in defense and negation, not speed. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng could leave as they wished, and no one could stop them.


    Several days later, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng landed on a mountain.


    "The aura of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is getting closer¡­."


    Zhao Feng looked into the distance. It didn''t matter whether they were resting or plundering from others, they were still following the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Their luck was pretty good, and they managed to steal many resources along the way. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng felt that following the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave them good luck.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat threw several old bronze coins into the air and looked in the direction of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and seemed to be excited.


    Above the mountain, Nan Gongsheng put on the Cloud Silk Robes, and wisps of green light flowed across his body.


    Zhao Feng knew that the main material of this robe came from a Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, the same creature that Duke Nanfeng had. The robe was light, and it was resilient against each of the five elements to a certain degree while normal weapons were unable to pierce it. Nan Gongsheng''s defensive and survival abilities would increase dramatically with this robe.


    Zhao Feng had the Ice Imperial Spear and the Sacred Lightning Body, so the Cloud Silk Robes weren''t too useful for him. As of right now, Zhao Feng only wanted Soul Dao treasures and resources that could help his body-strengthening.


    After going into the underground tomb, Zhao Feng finally managed to receive a Soul Dao item ¨C the Soul Suppressing Stone.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng took out the purple-and-black Soul Suppressing Stone and touched it with his hand. A shocking Yin aura leaked out and made countless beings tremble.


    Normal Kings wouldn''t even dare to get close to the Soul Suppressing Stone. In order to not be affected, even Nan Gongsheng had to pull away from Zhao Feng. On the other hand, the little thieving cat sat next to its owner and blinked with its black eyes; it didn''t seem to be affected.


    "Although the power contained within this Soul Suppressing Stone is extremely impure and wicked, I can still absorb it after refining it with my God Tribulation Lightning."


    Zhao Feng was excited and expectant. A Soul Dao treasure like the Soul Suppressing Stone might be able to help him recover his Emperor Intent.

 828 Becoming Famous

    Chapter 828 - Becoming Famous


    Above the cliff, Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and started to absorb and refine the Yin-type soul energy within the Soul Suppressing Stone.


    The wicked energy within the Soul Suppressing was extremely impure, and it contained countless suppressed evil souls and partial spirits. However, since they had been sealed for a long time, most of them were extremely weak. The Sacred Lord partial spirit was the strongest, and it had already been killed by Zhao Feng''s God Tribulation Lightning. The remaining wicked spirits and thoughts were all scared.


    Zhao Feng had the God''s Spiritual Eye, which was extremely resilient against spiritual attacks, thus giving him the courage to take the Soul Suppressing Stone. However, Zhao Feng was still quite careful because there were some wicked and evil secret techniques that were extremely troublesome, such as the Cursed Words of Death.


    Half a day later, after a round of refining, wisps of cold Soul power merged into Zhao Feng''s Soul Sea.


    The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was Zhao Feng''s first round of refinement, which could cleanse most wicked and impure energy. The second round was the aura of the God Tribulation Lightning. All of the cold and wicked power needed to be cleansed by the God Tribulation Lightning.


    After refining it three times, the originally harmful force was now clean and didn''t have any particular element. There were no longer any negative side effects to absorbing it. The only disadvantage was that this process was slow and troublesome.


    "The soul is the source of all life, so it can''t be contaminated."


    Zhao Feng was extremely careful; he would rather take his time. Luckily, he had reached a high level of mastery in the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. Combined with the refinement and purification of the God Tribulation Lightning, it was relatively fast.


    In the blink of an eye, six days passed. Zhao Feng''s purple Soul Sea had become bigger; it was now three or four hundred yards.


    "As of right now, my soul-strength is comparable to a middle-stage Void God Realm, and my Intent is comparable to a Peak-tier King''s."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled. At this moment, each of his thoughts contained supreme power that could connect to Heaven and Earth, the force of which was almost at the Emperor level.


    Zhao Feng felt that his Emperor Intent was starting to awaken. As long as his Emperor Intent reawakened, Zhao Feng''s Soul Dao techniques and eye-bloodline techniques would be able to reach a terrifying stage. At that point in time, only a few people would even be able to fight back against Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ve met a small bottleneck," Nan Gongsheng said.


    The instant he opened his eyes, a wicked purple-and-blood-colored crescent moon blinked on his forehead, and it was extremely eye-catching. A wicked and powerful aura radiated from Nan Gongsheng. It was as if he was a lord of the Wicked Dao.


    Zhao Feng looked over and saw that Nan Gongsheng had reached the peak middle-stage Void God Realm; he was only a bit away from the late stages of the Void God Realm. Apart from that, his spatial domain was much stronger, and the force of his True Yuan was comparable to a Peak-tier King''s.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He had to admit that Nan Gongsheng''s rate of growth was almost as fast as his own.


    "Let''s continue the chase."


    Zhao Feng nodded and got up.


    He had absorbed a lot of Soul energy and needed some time to dissolve it. Nan Gongsheng''s bottleneck was similar as well.


    Of course, if he was able to find some rare soul-condensing and True Yuan purification treasures, it would be perfect.


    "This is the last one." Zhao Feng took out an Ancient Dream Realm Spiritual Fruit before he left and ate it with a sigh. He had no more Spiritual Fruits left.


    These Spiritual Fruits benefitted Zhao Feng''s body, bloodline, and True Yuan greatly. Even if this last Ancient Dream Realm Spiritual Fruit didn''t help Zhao Feng break through to the 5th level of his Sacred Body, he could at least reach the limit of the 4th level.


    Unfortunately, after leaving the underground city, Zhao Feng hadn''t seen any rare body-strengthening materials.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng didn''t follow the exact path because, as they got closer to the location of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi became more and more pure, which meant the chances of beasts appearing along the way increased. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng even purposely used some of these powerful beasts to test their cultivation or soul-strength.


    There was only a small number of mutated-bloodline King beasts in the Divine Illusion Dimension whose battle-power was comparable to a Peak-tier King, and the combination of Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng could easily defeat a Peak-tier King. They even had a certain chance of winning in a one-on-one fight.


    Half a month later, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng reached a plain field that contained many beast hordes, and almost all of the beast leaders were Kings.


    "The aura of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is becoming stronger¡­."


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other. From the current signs, it seemed like the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had indeed led them to the core of the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    They felt a strong surge of the remnant aura of Destruction on the way and the groups of beasts that had been attacked. These beast hordes'' only fate was being slaughtered by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. Even Kings were ants to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    It could be said that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was one of the strongest beings Zhao Feng had ever met in his life. Even the peak Demigod Kun Yun couldn''t be compared to it.


    At a certain moment, an enormous crater dozens of miles wide could be seen in the plains ahead. Close to it were a bunch of muddy holes that were thousands of yards wide.


    "Fuck off!"


    "These are the bones of the Wolf Emperor. Grand Duke Qi''s Palace found them first. Anyone that stops us shall die!"


    Roars and the sound of fighting emanated from the crater.


    Whoosh!


    The flying chariot that Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were riding quickly approached, and they couldn''t help but take in a cold breath at what they saw in the crater.


    The crater was dozens of miles wide, and everything within a hundred-mile radius was filled with the bones of beasts. Many of the bones had turned to dust. Zhao Feng could even see the corpses of some King beasts nearby.


    The point where the most attention was drawn was the body of an Emperor ¨C the Wolf Emperor. Although its body was charred, it was in better shape in comparison to the others.


    Apart from that, the Wolf Emperor''s body also contained a bit of aura from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. Even though it wasn''t the most original and pure Destruction Dragon Fire, it was still very useful.


    Unfortunately, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had arrived late, so most of the cake had already been split. There were mainly three forces fighting around the crater, and some two-star forces that didn''t have any Kings could only scout around the edges.


    These three forces were Grand Duke Qi''s Palace, the Jiang Family, and another three-star power.


    All of them were three-stars. Those with the title of Grand Duke were rulers of a province in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. A province in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty was comparable to the entire Cang Ocean. From this, one could see high the status of a Grand Duke was. They were mostly Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords, and their status was only below the Sacred Emperor and Empress.


    "Not good! The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo has arrived!" someone exclaimed near the crater, and all of the forces near the crater immediately became wary as if they were facing a great foe.


    "It''s indeed the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo¡­. Everyone, watch out!" Jiang Chen had a grim expression.


    At this moment in time, the gazes of all the elites were on the flaming chariot in the air. Two purple-haired males gave off a mysterious and wicked feeling as they gazed down from their flaming chariot.


    "I heard that the imperials, Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, and many other forces were at a loss against the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo." A handsome youth in armor from Grand Duke Qi''s Palace squinted his eyes.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng slowed down a bit as they flew in the air.


    "Zhao Feng, should we?"


    Nan Gongsheng felt the urge to plunder. They had plundered quite a lot, almost as if they were addicted to it. After all, the two were by themselves, and plundering resources was faster than finding resources themselves.


    "All these forces are acting as if they just met a great foe¡­." Zhao Feng shook his head.


    The name of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was becoming infamous, which wasn''t a good thing.


    Zhao Feng started to realize that things were becoming bad. The geniuses that had entered the Divine Illusion Dimension were all elites of their force, and some were prodigies even when looking at the entire continent zone.


    "Everyone, feel free to continue. We just want to have a look."


    Zhao Feng decided to change their tactics and train of thought. They were already rich enough, so it wasn''t worth offending even more forces just because of a tiny bit of meat.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng slowly flew down with calm expressions, and the Jiang Family and some of the other forces were all surprised. Whenever the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo appeared, they went on a plundering spree, and now they''ve suddenly changed their ways?


    "Watch out, this might be the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo''s trick!" Jiang Feixue bit her lips. She hated the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, and she was the one who suggested to the number one genius of her family, Jiang Chen, that they should coordinate with all the other forces and attack the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed. "The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo''s auras are even stronger. I heard that they even managed to take advantage of the Imperial Genius rankings rank 9, the Blue Serpent King, and escape unharmed before."


    Maybe if all the forces present combined their power, they might be able to kill the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, but that would cost them a heavy price, and some of the experts and forces present had no enmity with the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, so why would they pay such a price?


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng''s powerful body jumped into the crater and felt the aura of a Destructive Dragon Flame. Even his Sacred Lightning Body felt a slight pain.


    "This Wolf Emperor was killed by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon almost without resistance." Zhao Feng analyzed after inspection.


    This conclusion made the duo''s expressions become solemn.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was, without a doubt, undefeatable in the Divine Illusion Dimension, at least for the outside-world geniuses. Even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords only had a "possibility" of threatening the Black Serpent Dragon. Furthermore, this was still when the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was weak and had the Yuan Sealing Divine Chain around its body.


    Time passed by slowly, and the individual experts and various forces left, leaving behind only Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng in the crater.


    Zhao Feng sat at the center of the crater where the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had attacked. The heat of the remaining wisp of dragon fire seemed to be able to "warm up" his Sacred Lightning Body.

 829 Emperor Intent Starting to Awaken

    Chapter 829 - Emperor Intent Starting to Awaken


    "Unfortunately, we came a bit too late¡­."


    Zhao Feng sat in the crater with slight regret. The wisps of the remaining dragon fire were quickly fading away, but they still helped Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body. If this effect was several times stronger and could last a day or two longer, it might be able to let Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body break through to the 5th level.


    However, such things could not be asked for. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had only used dragon breath to kill the Wolf Emperor.


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had seen this aura of dragon fire. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng stayed in the crater for a couple days, and Nan Gongsheng realized that the aura of dragon fire could cleanse the wicked power of the Evil God Crystal to a certain degree.


    Zhao Feng multi-tasked during these two days and headed in three directions.


    The first was to continue absorbing the energy from the plant part of the Sky Water Crystal Lotus in conjunction with the Wind Lightning Crystal Core in order to steadily increase his cultivation. The quality of his True Yuan was starting to approach the level of a King. Once the quality of his True Yuan was at that level, most of his other aspects such as soul-strength would surpass normal Kings.


    The second direction was to use the aura of the dragon fire and the Spiritual Fruit from the Ancient Dream Realm to consolidate his Sacred Lightning Body.


    The third direction was to refine, purify, and absorb the wicked power from the Soul Suppressing Stone.


    The first two weren''t very hard. The third wasn''t very hard either, but it was very time-consuming. Luckily, Zhao Feng''s mastery of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was still there, and it even made minor improvements after taking over another body.


    The aura of dragon fire from the crater was extremely faint by the third day.


    "Let''s continue."


    Zhao Feng confirmed that his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body had reached a limit. He would need a powerful stimulus to break through. He instinctively felt that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon might be the critical point for his Sacred Lightning Body''s breakthrough.


    Of course, if he wanted to use the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s dragon breath to refine his body, that was the same as courting death. Even at the peak of his previous life, he didn''t have to ability to block such powerful dragon fire head-on.


    Hu~~~


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng sat on the old flaming chariot and continued to follow the Black Serpent Dragon. In order to utilize the flaming chariot''s fastest speed, Zhao Feng put a substandard God Crystal into it. The flaming chariot''s speed instantly reached its peak, which was comparable to Peak-tier Kings.


    A day later, a big hole appeared in the fields ahead.


    "The aura of Destruction is becoming stronger. The Black Serpent Dragon seems to have arrived at its destination¡­." Zhao Feng murmured.


    In reality, countless powerful beasts would have appeared on the path they took, and it was supposed to be full of danger, but the Black Serpent Dragon had opened the way for them and killed whatever stood in the way. The destructive dragon breath aura made all beings scatter. Thus, it was a lot easier for the pursuers to follow its aura.


    "Zhao Feng, there seems to be many forces heading toward that direction."


    Nan Gongsheng felt that something was wrong. As they approached their destination, the chances of meeting other experts and groups became higher.


    "Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace?" Zhao Feng used a Soul Dao secret technique to get this information from a lone half-step King.


    "Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace¡­ Ancient God!?" Nan Gongsheng''s heart shook.


    They were both somewhat cut off from the outside world, so they only learned this information right now. If it wasn''t for Zhao Feng''s sharp instinct to follow the Black Serpent Dragon, they would have missed this big fortune. When the duo wasn''t plundering, they were in seclusion, so their news wasn''t very good, unlike all the other forces that interacted with each other.


    There were also some other elites with the same thoughts as Zhao Feng. They tried to follow the Black Serpent Dragon to take a little advantage or dig out some secrets of the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "Quickly!"


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng realized that they might be a bit behind on the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace.


    Whoosh!


    The flaming chariot released a brilliant glow of green flames, and its speed now surpassed normal Peak-tier Kings.


    The two soon reached an open land. Gazing down from above, the center of the land extended downward into the depths, as if it was going to devour the world.


    On the other side of the crater:


    "The aura of Destruction is becoming stronger and stronger. It makes my heart tremble¡­."


    "Senior Martial Brother Jiu, should we continue?"


    The group from the Nine Darkness Palace, led by Jiu Wuji and some other upper echelons, gazed down at the depths of the crater. The Nine Darkness Palace was one of the top three three-star forces of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "We can only send in some elites that are willing to go in." Jiu Wuji''s tone was deep.


    It was easy to imagine that the search underground would be full of danger. Those not strong enough would only be going to their deaths. If any group met the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, they would all die for sure.


    "I''ll go."


    "I''ll go."


    Voices sounded from various people. Jiu Wuji soon chose ten elites, half of which were half-step Kings.


    This group was made up of younger elites and older elites, and the weakest had the power of a half-step King.


    In this period of time, some of the other forces around the crater used similar methods. In front of a hill was the force from the Duanmu Family, which was led by Zhao Yufei and the elder in green robes.


    "The Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace ahead is extremely dangerous, and there''s also the threat of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. The Duanmu Family will only choose about ten elites," the elder in green robes said.


    The Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace was attractive, and many people were willing to take the risk. The ten spots were soon confirmed.


    "Yufei, you have the Spiritual Race bloodline. Even without the fortune in the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace, your future is destined to fly up into the Nine Heavens¡­." The green-robed elder tried to stop her.


    From his perspective, the Spiritual Race bloodline was favored by Heaven and Earth and was extremely compatible with Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. She didn''t need to take such a huge risk. On the other hand, other geniuses wouldn''t have any hope of breaking through to higher realms if they didn''t fight for it. Some wouldn''t even be able to become Kings.


    "I also need to fight for the fortune in the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace. If I don''t even have that amount of courage, how will I revive the Duanmu Family and catch up to his footsteps?" Zhao Yufei''s eyes twinkled with decisiveness.


    "His?" The elder in green robes had nothing to say back to her. This was the will of an expert. The reason an expert could be called an expert was not just because they were strong, it was also because they had a strong heart.


    In addition, a strong heart could nurture one''s mind.


    The green-robed elder was interested in this "him" that Zhao Yufei wanted to catch up to.


    In the depths of a scorched, dragon-shaped crater, many small groups gathered. They were all elites.


    "This should be the entrance to the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace. The Black Serpent Dragon should have entered from here," the Eighth Prince said.


    "So, the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace is underground in the depths of the crater¡­." The purple-and-gold-robed Thirteenth Prince gave a light laugh.


    This group belonged to the Great Gan Imperials. The Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, Luo Zun, the wrinkled elder¡­ they were all elite Kings and half-step Kings. The imperial group had more than twenty people, and the weakest of them was at the half-step King level.


    "Opposite us is the force from the Sky Suspension Palace. Don''t get cocky," the Ninth Prince said in a solemn tone.


    Amongst them, the Ninth Prince was the strongest and most talented, and he had recovered from his injuries from the Blue Serpent King''s pursuit.


    "Sky Suspension Palace!"


    The imperial elites'' expressions changed slightly as they glanced toward another group.


    On the opposite side of the dragon-shaped hole was another group. They had more than twenty people, and the person with the lowest cultivation was at the half-step King level as well.


    They had three Void God Realm Kings. One was a handsome and elegant youth who had reached the Peak-tier King level. Next to him were a male and female who were both Domain-level Kings.


    "The Sky Suspension Palace indeed sent out Xuanyuan Wen, ranked 7th on the Imperial Genius rankings."


    "He''s only twenty-something years old and has already reached the Peak-tier King level. Such talent is unparalleled."


    Members of the imperial group couldn''t help but sigh as their gazes landed on the elegant youth from the Sky Suspension Palace. The Sky Suspension Palace was a four-star power and had a long history. The amount of four-star powers could be counted with one hand.


    "Xuanyuan Wen is ranked 7th in the Imperial Genius rankings, and he should be the strongest genius that entered the Divine Illusion Dimension¡­." The Ninth Prince''s eyes glittered as battle-intent shot out of them.


    At this moment in time, the two forces of the Sky Suspension Palace and the imperials were next to the dragon-shaped entrance, and they had sent in some people with unique abilities inside to scout it out.


    "I heard that the 9th-ranked Blue Serpent King appeared around here, but no one has found him since." The youth in white silk behind Xuanyuan Wen had a thoughtful expression.


    Wei Jing came from the four-star Dark Capital Cult of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty, and he was a powerful foe of Xuanyuan Wen. Although Wei Jing was ranked 9th compared to Xuanyuan Wen''s 7, no one knew who would win or lose in a fight to the death since their ranks were determined by the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "I think Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s worry is a bit too much. Because of where the Divine Illusion Dimension connected, only a small number of King geniuses from the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty managed to enter. Although Wei Jing is strong, he won''t dare to fight against this many of us." A female in apricot robes smiled, and everyone from the Sky Suspension Palace agreed with her.


    The place where the Divine Illusion Dimension connected determined who could enter and where they ended up. If one inspected closely, they would realize that the forces that were around this area were mainly from the center region of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, such as the imperials and the Eight Big Families. As for Void God Realms, if they used a secret method to enter, they would end up in a random area, but it wouldn''t be too far away.


    Around the crater, the elites of some forces were slowly moving forward. After the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had entered, there was no more movement from it.


    In a hidden cave at the edges of the crater, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng sat down, and their auras were starting to rise.


    "I''m just a little bit away from breaking through to the late stages of the Void God Realm¡­." The purple-and-blood-colored crescent moon on Nan Gongsheng''s forehead blinked wickedly.


    Right at this moment:


    Boom!


    A strong surge of Intent that could shake Heaven and Earth suddenly seemed to break through a barrier and thunder down like lightning. It had an aura of immortality, and it seemed like it could counter anything in the world.


    Nan Gongsheng''s soul shook and trembled. His blood started to boil, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    This aura came from right next to him.

 830 Little Sword Sain

    Chapter 830 - Little Sword Saint


    In a hidden cave near the outer edges of the crater, a thunderous Emperor Intent shot into the sky and shook Heaven and Earth. At this moment, countless beings within a thousand miles felt as if their souls had been struck by lightning, and they started to tremble in front of this Emperor Intent.


    Boom~~~~!


    Clouds of wind and lightning suddenly formed in the air above the cave, then started to form a multi-colored whirlpool that swept over Heaven and Earth. At this point in time, Heaven Earth Yuan Qi poured into the center of the multi-colored whirlpool.


    Within the dark cave, Zhao Feng was covered in a majestic light. A pair of shining wings dozens of yards long extended behind his back, making him look like an emperor.


    Weng~~


    In just a couple breaths, the Wind Lightning Crystal Core of the King had faded by a bit. The Sky Water Crystal Lotus energy stored within his body was being compressed and refined.


    "Middle stages of the Great Origin Core Realm."


    Zhao Feng''s Crystal Core expanded greatly while he was covered in the magnificent light. In just a dozen breaths, his cultivation broke through.


    "Emperor Intent!"


    Nan Gongsheng not far away felt his soul become suppressed, and he was unable to breathe. The magnificent Intent radiating from Zhao Feng seemed to cover everything.


    "This long-awaited feeling¡­"


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes as the Emperor Intent radiating from his body started to fade. It was like a tornado: it came quickly and left just as quickly. If it was a newly-formed Emperor Intent, it wouldn''t have been so easily controllable.


    Just a short while later, Zhao Feng seemed to be a normal Great Origin Core Realm, but if one inspected closely, they would realize he was covered in a dreamy and mysterious haze.


    At the entrance of the dragon-shaped crater, more than twenty elites and geniuses of the Sky Suspension Palace were waiting for the scouts below.


    "Hmm? Emperor Intent¡­?"


    Surprise appeared on Xuanyuan Wen''s handsome face as he glanced toward a certain direction. A wisp of Emperor Intent had appeared from afar, and he could feel the disturbance in Heaven and Earth clearly. The other Void God Realms only felt a weird sensation that they couldn''t quite describe.


    "Maybe it''s a native beast from the Divine Illusion Dimension. Either way, even if a normal Emperor personally came, they can''t do anything to us," the female in apricot robes smiled and said. After Xuanyuan Wen Mentioned it, she and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge sensed around and felt the wisp of that aura.


    "It doesn''t seem to be from a beast or a nonhuman race. I feel like that aura of Emperor Intent comes from a human." Xuanyuan Wen shook his head.


    Hearing that, the expressions of all the elites from the Sky Suspension Palace changed dramatically. If it was a human, then it was most likely an outsider that had entered the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "There are countless unique people in the world. Three-star and four-star powers aren''t the only places that peerless geniuses can come from." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge sighed.


    No one doubted what Xuanyuan Wen said. After all, he was already half a step into the domain of Emperors. However, Xuanyuan Wen and company weren''t too worried.


    In a hidden corner near the center of the crater:


    "Emperor Intent? Could it be Xuanyuan Wen''s?" A voice that came out of nowhere sounded in front of one of two big rocks.


    "It doesn''t seem to be Xuanyuan Wen. I''ve seen him fight. That aura and his aura are completely different¡­." A deep voice sounded from in front of the other rock.


    There was no one here, but two voices were speaking. If people saw this, they would think there were ghosts here.


    Whoosh!


    The two large rocks suddenly turned into two nonhuman figures. One was a tall nonhuman male. Blue scales covered his body, and he had a pair of blue horns that seemed to be similar to the Serpent Dragon race.


    If Zhao Feng or the Ninth Prince was present, they would be able to confirm that this person was the Blue Serpent King, Wei Jing.


    The other figure was even weirder. This was a nonhuman male with beady green eyes, and he seemed to merge with the surroundings. It was extremely blurry, but one could faintly see a pair of muddy-yellow crystal horns on his head.


    "If we team up, we have nothing to fear even against a true Emperor, but there are too many human forces from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty around the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace. We can only use our wisdom," Wei Jing said as he retracted his gaze from the direction of the Emperor Intent with a solemn expression.


    Shua!


    In a flash, the two disappeared, including their auras.


    In the cave at the outskirts of the crater:


    "Zhao Feng, since your Emperor Intent has already recovered, who in the Divine Illusion Dimension can stop us?"


    Nan Gongsheng was excited. The burst of Emperor Intent just now made him remember the glory of the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor.


    "My Emperor Intent has only recovered to the early stages. Although I''m not arrogant enough to say that no one can stop me, I''m not scared of anyone from the outside world."


    Zhao Feng had a calm expression.


    The sudden increase in strength didn''t make him cocky. He didn''t dare to call himself unstoppable, but he wasn''t scared of anyone.


    At this moment, the aura of the Soul Suppressing Stone in front of him had faded in color by over half, and some cracks had appeared on its surface.


    Overall, Zhao Feng''s refinement of the Soul Suppressing Stone was quite fast, which was mainly due to his mastery of the Dao of the Soul as well as the help of the God Tribulation Lightning.


    Zhao Feng''s purple Soul Sea in the dimension of his left eye had also expanded to about five hundred yards. The entire surface of the purple Soul Sea gave off a crystalline glitter, as if it had been refined thousands upon thousands of times.


    Zhao Feng''s mental energy merged naturally into Heaven and Earth, and the laws of space and various other laws entered his senses.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng suddenly sensed something and revealed a weird expression.


    "Let''s retreat first."


    The duo soon left the hidden cave under a layer of silver and purple. They appeared in the sky on the flaming chariot a while later.


    Not long after, more than a dozen sharp auras appeared in the cave.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    These ten figures all gave off a cold Intent as sword-lights flashed. The weakest of these auras had reached the half-step King level. The leader was an elder with white hair and a white beard. He wore simple white clothes, and his face was full of wrinkles as if he was about to enter his grave at any moment, but his eyes were extremely sharp. It was as if he could see through everything.


    "The Emperor Intent appeared here¡­."


    A surge of invisible Sword Intent shot out from the white-bearded elder and caused the color of the sky to change.


    Weng! Weng!


    At this moment, countless swords near the crater started to tremble. The strength of this Sword Intent wasn''t weaker than a Void God Realm Emperor''s.


    "Senior Gu Yue is indeed worthy of the title Little Sword Saint. His understanding of the Sword Dao exceeds even some Emperors." An elite from this Sword Dao clan was full of awe, but everyone also had regret in their eyes when they looked at Senior Gu Yue.


    "What strong Sword Dao Intent! What is this force? All of those elites have comprehended powerful Sword Intent." Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    Apart from the white-bearded old man, they also had a cold girl in black who was also a King. Every one of these elites was stronger than Cang Yuyue.


    "It''s the Sky Sword Pavilion."


    "The number one Sword Dao force in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. They used to be a glorious four-star force, but they''ve fallen to a peak three-star force."


    A couple forces near the crater recognized the Sky Sword Pavilion. The ten geniuses from the Sky Sword Pavilion were extremely strong; they surpassed normal three-star forces.


    "That Emperor Intent wasn''t normal. It seemed to awaken for an instant before it was quickly concealed."


    The white-bearded elder scanned around with sharp eyes. He noticed Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng in the air, but they were a Domain-level King and a Great Origin Core Realm respectively. They didn''t seem like the ones he was searching for.


    The white-bearded elder ended up with disappointment. If the Sky Sword Pavilion was able to team up with an expert with Emperor Intent, they would make a very powerful combination, but unfortunately, no one knew the owner of that Emperor Intent.


    "Let''s continue inward!" the white-bearded elder exclaimed, and ten powerful Sword Dao auras flew toward the depths of the crater.


    "Sky Sword Pavilion!"


    Some of the forces exclaimed.


    "It''s him¡­! Little Sword Saint Senior Gu Yue!" The elder in green robes from the Duanmu Family couldn''t help but take in a cold breath.


    "That old undead came into the Divine Illusion Dimension? Does he want to give it one last try?" Jiu Wuji from the Nine Darkness Palace was filled with wariness.


    Some of the older elites knew about the stories of the Little Sword Saint.


    In front of the dragon-shaped crater:


    "So, it''s the Little Sword Saint from the Sky Sword Pavilion¡­."


    The imperials and the Sky Suspension Palace elites looked over. Even Senior Martial Brother Zhuge from the Sky Suspension Palace revealed admiration in his eyes.


    The force from the Sky Sword Pavilion soon arrived at the entrance of the dragon-shaped cave; they were the third group of elites to arrive.


    A while later, the Nine Darkness Palace and some other three-star powers arrived.


    Most people that were able to reach this place were part of a big group, but there were some rare individuals or pairs.


    Whoosh!


    At a certain moment, a flaming chariot arrived at the entrance of the scorched dragon-shaped crater with surprising speed.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!"


    "Those two thieves~~~~!"


    Many elites from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty gritted their teeth with hatred. However, the duo acted as if that hatred had nothing to do with them. Instead of retreating or becoming scared, a weird smile formed on their faces as they faced all these elite groups.


    The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had taken advantage of many geniuses and experts present, so even though they had way more people, they didn''t dare to attack.


    "If we calculate it, we''ve been in the Divine Illusion Dimension for more than a month, which is already over a third of the total time."


    Zhao Feng crossed his arms, and his eyes twinkled as he glanced around. His gaze landed on Xuanyuan Wen''s face for a short while, and surprise flashed through his eyes before he quickly shifted his gaze away.


    No one knew that this handsome Great Origin Core Realm youth was the owner of the new Emperor Intent. At this point in time, Zhao Feng''s aura was concealed very well, and he didn''t want to reveal his Emperor Intent so easily.


    Although Zhao Feng wasn''t scared of anyone present, in order to obtain the maximum amount of benefits from the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace, he definitely shouldn''t stun everyone with his true power and stand at the top of the crowd.

 831 Meeting

    Chapter 831 - Meeting


    The elites of some super-forces arrived one after another to the entrance of the scorched dragon-shaped crater.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were a rare combination since they were only two people.


    "It''s those two thieves! They even dared to plunder the imperials! What do they think of the dignity of the imperials!?" the Thirteenth Prince in his purple-golden battle robes said angrily.


    At this point in time, all the forces of the Great Gan Imperials were gathered here. The Eight, Ninth, and Thirteenth Princes were all here. On top of that, there was also Luo Zun and the wrinkled elder, who were Domain-level Kings.


    "Brother Eighth Prince and Brother Ninth Prince, we can''t let those two thieves take any cut of the treasures in the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace. How about we combine our forces and kill them before we go in?" The Thirteenth Prince''s face was full of hatred as he suggested from the side.


    His group had been plundered by the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo. This made the Thirteenth Prince extremely angry, but what made him helpless was that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had successfully escaped after attacking them several times. From the looks of it, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo seemed to be doing very good.


    The Eighth and Ninth Princes looked at each other and hesitated when they heard the Thirteenth Prince''s suggestion.


    "It''s him¡­." The Ninth Prince''s eyes squinted as he looked at the younger one of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo. Back when he was running away from the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing, this youth had used the Blue Serpent King''s natural domain to strengthen his body, and then the duo managed to escape.


    If it weren''t for his guidance, the Ninth Prince might not have survived. The Ninth Prince had complex emotions toward Zhao Feng, who seemed to be covered in mist. He still couldn''t see through this youth even now.


    The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun had wary expressions. Zhao Feng''s appearance made them feel disgusted and helpless. Just a while ago, they had worked together with the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, but instead of taking any advantage from them, they were the ones that were tricked.


    "Cough! Younger brother Thirteenth Prince, now isn''t the best time to deal with the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo. We need to plan it thoroughly." The Eighth Prince gave a light cough. Although the imperials were really strong at the moment, there were still powerful forces around, such as the Sky Suspension Palace and the Sky Sword Pavilion.


    "That''s right! The most important thing right now is the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace." The Ninth Prince agreed.


    The Eighth and Ninth Princes both seemed to be wary of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo. If even the imperials were wary, other forces like the Jiang Family, Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, the Ji Family, and company were even more cautious and wary.


    "You¡­!" The Thirteenth Prince felt that it was very weird. Dealing with the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was to protect the dignity of the imperials, so why did these two older brothers seem to be evading it?


    "Thirteenth Prince, don''t be rash! We need to wait for a better time to deal with that wicked duo." The wrinkled elder looked at everyone''s expressions, and it wasn''t hard for him to guess the reason. It was obvious that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was infamous for being troublesome. It could be said that they were a hard bone to bite.


    This demonic duo not plundering people was already a good thing, and they were thinking about how to provoke them?


    "Xin Wuheng!"


    Exclamations sounded from in front of the dragon-shaped crater as a male wearing a t-shirt flew through the air and descended onto the ground.


    "Brother Xin, are you willing to work with us? The Six Star Tower is willing to give up 40% of everything we get¡­."


    "Xin Wuheng! You''re a subordinate of the imperials, quickly join us."


    The eyes of some leaders lit up as they invited him. One three-star power was even willing to offer up 60% of everything they got.


    The welcoming that Xin Wuheng got exceeded everyone''s expectation. It was the complete opposite of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, who others tried to avoid as much as possible.


    Xin Wuheng and the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo acted in completely opposite ways.


    "Thank you for all your good will, but I haven''t thought of which side to join yet." Xin Wuheng rejected all the offers calmly.


    The leaders of some forces had regretful expressions, but they couldn''t force him.


    "That kid has the charm of a professional. His future can''t be measured¡­." The white-bearded Little Sword Saint from the Sky Sword Pavilion inspected Xin Wuheng with admiration.


    However, Xin Wuheng also rejected the Sky Sword Pavilion''s offer without any hesitation.


    "Brother Zhao," Xin Wuheng greeted the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo that everyone tried to avoid with a complex expression. The younger one, to be precise. After all, they came from the same hometown and were once on par with each other.


    All the other forces looked over. What kind of history did this purple-haired youth have? Even Xin Wuheng knew him and greeted him. Furthermore, there was a complex and solemn expression on Xin Wuheng''s face.


    "Could it be that Zhao Feng of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo is someone on the same level as Xin Wuheng?" The groups from the Jiang, Ji, and Cao Families guessed.


    "He''s indeed stronger and more mysterious than I imagined." Shock appeared on Ji Lan''s face. She was the one who had been counterattacked by the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    No matter what was said, the wickedness and mysteriousness of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was imprinted into their minds.


    Even the Thirteenth Prince started to think; Looks like the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo is stronger than I imagined. No wonder the two older imperial brothers didn''t want to¡­


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this instant, another group of elites arrived near the entrance to the dragon-shaped crater. In the very front of the group was a girl in purple. She was extremely pure, and she attracted everyone''s attention instantly.


    "It''s the Duanmu Family!"


    "Zhao Yufei! Even though her surname isn''t Duanmu, she''s a member of the Duanmu Family. Apparently, the Grand Elder of the Duanmu Family took her in as a step-daughter. She''s also said to have the bloodline of the Spiritual Race¡­."


    Some people started to discuss. For most of these elites, this was the first time they were seeing this daughter of Heaven.


    "Zhao Yufei¡­ Bloodline of the Spiritual Race! Master said that she''ll be a powerful foe of mine in the future. Her bloodline means that she is destined to fly across the Nine Heavens." This was the first time Xuanyuan Wen truly inspected someone.


    The female in their vision was gorgeous and pure. A glow came from her snow-white skin, as if she was a noble and elegant goddess of jade and ice. Even Xuanyuan Wen, who had seen many beauties in four-star powers, was stunned by her appearance.


    "Sister Yufei!" The Thirteenth Prince''s eyes lit up, and he revealed a joyful look as he went to welcome her.


    Many of the forces present knew about the news between the Thirteen Prince and Zhao Yufei. It was very likely that these two would become a couple in the future. This wasn''t just the Sacred Emperor''s intention, there was also a big momentum pushing this.


    Looking at the goddess of his dreams approaching, the Thirteenth Prince tried to control himself, but he couldn''t stop the admiration in his eyes. In the depths of his heart, he already thought of this perfect girl as his fianc¨¦e.


    However, an unimaginable scene happened. The elegant girl in purple acted as if she hadn''t seen the Thirteenth Prince; her pair of eyes only locked on to one person.


    "What''s going on?"


    The Duanmu Family, the imperials, and all the other families felt that something was wrong. The direction that Zhao Yufei was staring in was where the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was standing.


    "The demonic duo again!"


    "Could it be that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo offended Zhao Yufei as well¡­?"


    Many of the experts present clicked their tongues.


    "Yufei, don''t worry. I will definitely help you punish those two thieves!" the Thirteenth Prince said confidently with a bright smile.


    In order to get the heart of the goddess of his dreams, he was willing to kill the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo no matter the price. If he insisted on attacking, the Eighth and Ninth Princes had to do something too, so the Thirteenth Prince immediately gathered his forces and was about to surround the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    "Stop!" A shout and a strong surge of Spiritual Race bloodline aura stopped the Thirteenth Prince. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby instantly turned into a storm, and all the experts present felt their bloodline and True Yuan shake.


    "Sister Yufei, you¡­" The Thirteenth Prince was dumbfounded; he didn''t understand why the goddess he was trying to impress suddenly became angry.


    At this moment, Zhao Yufei''s eyes became watery as she turned into a streak of purple and sped toward the younger purple-haired youth.


    "Yufei!" The elder in green robes and the others from the Duanmu Family were caught off guard. This was the first time they had seen such strong emotions come from this daughter of Heaven.


    "Brother Feng¡­ is it really you?"


    Zhao Yufei''s eyes were filled with water, and she had nothing else in her heart apart from the wicked purple-haired youth in front of her. The familiar hair and familiar gaze made her more certain.


    "What¡­ what''s going on!?"


    The Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, Luo Zun, and company from the imperials were dazed. The emotions on Zhao Yufei''s face meant something ¨C the relationship between her and Zhao Feng was probably very close.


    "Both of their names are Zhao, could it be¡­?" The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun couldn''t help but look at each other, and a guess formed in everyone''s hearts. They all thought that the relationship between the two was "brother and sister."


    "Yufei¡­ it''s me." Zhao Feng''s tone was deep.


    Seeing his childhood friend and the girl he sort of liked, he felt complex emotions and didn''t know how to face her. When he was younger, his emotions were wooden; he only felt good will toward her at the beginning. Only after that did he start to feel like a brother toward her. However, emotions poured past the initial barrier and formed over time, like a bottle of wine. The smell radiating from it made one unable to resist it. There was no such thing as eternal promises or love to the bone, only the continuous erosion of time.


    "Brother Feng, why didn''t you tell me¡­?"


    A purple figure leapt into Zhao Feng. Maybe it was because Zhao Yufei had confirmed that it was Zhao Feng due to his soul, she had forgotten that this body wasn''t Zhao Feng''s original body.


    Zhao Feng''s hand touched something wet, and he felt speechless as he hugged the beauty.


    "Yufei¡­!" The Thirteenth Prince shook, and his entire heart turned cold. He instinctively felt that the relationship between Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei wasn''t just that of brother and sister.


    The Great Gan Imperials, the big families, and the super prodigies were all dumbfounded and dazed. Those from the Duanmu Family were also stunned; this elegant daughter of Heaven who had a noble bloodline was hugging a youth who was one of the infamous Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.

 832 Xie Yang Palace

    Chapter 832 - Xie Yang Palace


    This scene made all the elites from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty feel as if their eyes had popped out and their necks were being strangled. The perfect, noble goddess in their hearts had leapt into the most wicked and mysterious thief with tears in her eyes.


    "How...? That thief¡­"


    Jiang Chen and the geniuses who had a feud with Zhao Feng were all speechless. The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun also had colorful expressions and a disgusted feeling they couldn''t describe.


    They felt defeated once more. The Eighth Prince liked Luo Zun''s little sister, Luo Shui''er, but the she had an engagement with Zhao Feng and liked him. Luo Zun liked Zhao Yufei, but her status and bloodline were too noble; he wasn''t worthy of her.


    However, the one that was most speechless was the Thirteenth Prince.


    "So that''s why¡­ Yufei wanted to pursue the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo just to find that brat?"


    The Thirteenth Prince''s expression was extremely ugly and full of hatred. Killing intent flashed through his eyes.


    "Your Highness, please calm down!" The wrinkled elder appeared behind him and put one of his hands on the Thirteenth Prince''s shoulder.


    Hu!


    The Thirteenth Prince took a deep breath, and his chaotic, frenzied thoughts calmed down.


    "That Zhao Feng is definitely not simple. I still haven''t seen through him yet. The best way to deal with him is after we leave the Divine Illusion Dimension, or wait for a good chance in the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace¡­." the wrinkled elder said.


    If Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei liked each other, then the Thirteenth Prince had nothing to say in terms of righteousness. The Eight Big Families were all very close to the imperials, and Zhao Yufei, who had the Spiritual Race bloodline, was someone that three-star and four-star powers would fight over. For example, the four-star Sky Suspension Palace didn''t even need to care about what the imperials thought.


    "Brother Feng, why didn''t you tell me¡­?" Zhao Yufei repeated.


    At this moment, her tears had disappeared, and she controlled herself as she inspected this new, handsome-looking Zhao Feng. At the beginning, she thought that Zhao Feng had just changed his appearance, but after inspecting closely, she confirmed that this wasn''t the case.


    Zhao Feng was unable to escape from Zhao Yufei''s questioning. There were many reasons why he didn''t talk to Zhao Yufei earlier. Some of them were very complex.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng''s cultivation, strength, and appearance were all completely new. The original Zhao Feng didn''t physically exist anymore.


    Secondly, his fianc¨¦e Liu Qinxin''s rebirth. What happened in the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace seemed like it only happened yesterday. Liu Qinxin had changed Zhao Feng''s future and left an old bronze coin for him, which helped him form Emperor Intent.


    "Feng, with your arrival, I will be able to die with no regrets."


    "Feng, I died in order to achieve a new life. Since you were able to reach this place, that means our connection hasn''t been cut yet."


    Zhao Feng instinctively felt that the reborn Liu Qinxin might be silently waiting for him in some corner of the world.


    "Zhao Feng, if it''s meant to be, you will see Liu Qinxin again. If you want to find her whereabouts, you need to find the Eye of Samsara."


    The Sage''s voice replayed through his mind.


    Zhao Feng knew that Zhao Yufei''s love wasn''t able to let anything else in. Who knew what would happen if she knew that Liu Qinxin had reincarnated and that his fianc¨¦e was still alive?


    The third reason was because the current situation wasn''t a good time for Zhao Feng to meet Zhao Yufei. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were wicked thieves that had been plundering and making enemies out of everyone. Zhao Feng didn''t want to drag Zhao Yufei or the Duanmu Family into it. Even now, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were standing on different sides from the Duanmu Family.


    With a thought, Zhao Feng told Zhao Yufei the first and third reasons.


    "Yufei, now isn''t the time for me to join the Duanmu Family," Zhao Feng said solemnly, and Zhao Yufei knew this as well. After all, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were thieves that had stolen from many forces, including some that were on good terms with the Duanmu Family.


    At the end, Zhao Feng asked about what was happening with his master, Duanmu Qing.


    "Senior Martial Brother Duanmu tried to break through to the Mystic Light Realm two years ago and failed by the difference of just one step. If he still can''t break through within a hundred years, his lifespan will reach its end, and his soul and lifeforce will start to wither¡­." Zhao Yufei said and clenched her fists, as if she was making some sort of decision.


    Zhao Feng knew that normal Emperors had a lifespan of ten thousand years. As an Emperor that cultivated the element of Wood, Duanmu Qing had a slightly longer lifespan, but he was almost at his limit.


    Within a hundred years, Duanmu Qing would become similar to the white-bearded Little Sword Saint from the Sky Sword Pavilion, and then finally, he would become just like the old priest from the underground city.


    "Resources that can allow one to reach the Mystic Light Realm are extremely rare even in the Divine Illusion Dimension." Zhao Feng sighed. He decided to give it his all as well.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei quickly communicated for a while before the latter left due to the beckoning of the Duanmu Family.


    "Yufei, are you okay?"


    The elder in green robes let out a breath. He was scared that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo would steal her away, but Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei both knew the current situation. This was especially so for Zhao Feng; he had confirmed his path of plundering, so he would stand opposite most of the forces present.


    Of course, the main issue wasn''t just that he was going to steal from people. Any person or force that had a plan that could result in great profit would make all the remaining forces hostile, regardless of the method.


    "Senior Martial Brother Xuanyuan."


    At this moment, a speedy figure jumped out from the dragon-shaped crater. There were scorch marks on him as he quickly headed toward the Sky Suspension Palace.


    "How''s the situation?"


    The elites from the Sky Suspension Palace all looked at the disciple that was responsible for scouting with expectation.


    Shua!


    Senior Martial Brother Zhuge gently waved the fan in his hand, and an invisible barrier made the area soundproof.


    A short while later:


    Sou!


    A member of the imperials leapt out from the dragon-shaped crater and reported to the three princes.


    "You found it?" The Eighth Prince and company revealed a look of joy.


    "I''m sure that the entrance to the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace is below, but the aura of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is extremely strong¡­."


    The imperial scout told them the details.


    Of course, both the Sky Suspension Palace and the imperials talked in private, but Zhao Feng could tell that they discovered something about the Ancient God''s Mysterious Palace from the change in their expressions.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    More than twenty elites from the Sky Suspension Palace leapt into the dragon-shaped crater.


    "Fast!"


    The imperial elites also charged into the dragon-shaped crater.


    The third group was the Sky Sword Pavilion, the fourth was the Nine Darkness Palace¡­. All the nearby forces moved like bees.


    Of course, because of the difference in where they ended up, not all of the peak forces from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty were gathered here. The Divine Illusion Dimension was extremely big and had many other fortunes. Some forces decided to give up on the fortune of the ancient palace, either because of their limited strength or their wariness of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng headed toward the entrance of the black dragon-shaped crater under a layer of silver and purple. They didn''t fight to be at the very front, but they didn''t lag very far behind either.


    The dragon-shaped crater entrance was very big and was obviously left behind when the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon dove into the ground.


    On the way, Zhao Feng felt the powerful aura left behind by the Black Serpent Dragon. Putting aside scouting this place, normal Origin Core Realms were unable to even get close to this aura.


    Sou! Whoosh!


    With the help of gravity, the elites all headed toward the depths of the dragon-shaped crater. There were few places where people could step, and the walls still had strong burning auras remaining.


    A while later:


    Ceng! Ceng! Ceng!


    The figures all landed at the depths of the dragon-shaped crater. The depths of the cave were scorched black and had the remaining traces of dragon breath. Everyone felt a burning sensation, and they were unable to breathe.


    "Quick, look!" someone exclaimed.


    A pond of lava came into sight. It turned the nearby area black. Next to the lava pond was a stone tablet that had several ancient words engraved onto it ¨C Xie Yang Palace.


    "Xie Yang Palace¡­ Ancient God Xie Yang?"


    The forces present all revealed looks of joy, but some people had furrowed eyebrows. If this was Xie Yang Palace, where was the entrance?


    "The lava pond is the entrance." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge in his white silk clothes held his fan and walked to the edge of the lava pond.


    The lava pond!? Everyone was surprised. The lava pond was fiery-red and kept on tossing and turning. The fiery aura made even Void God Realm Kings uneasy. There weren''t many forces that had Void God Realm Kings as leaders.


    Boom!


    A slight trembling sensation came from the depths of the lava pond, and some of the experts with better senses seemed to hear the roar of a dragon that shook their hearts right next to their ears.


    "One can''t obtain tiger cubs if they don''t enter their caves." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge smiled as a mysterious fire tadpole appeared around him. He then jumped straight into the tossing lava pond.


    Weng~~


    A chaotic crystalline flame appeared on the lava pond and engulfed Senior Martial Brother Zhuge.


    "Senior Martial Brother Zhuge!" The Sky Suspension Palace disciples couldn''t help but exclaim as worry overtook them.


    Several breaths later:


    Whoosh!


    A flickering figure covered in fire shot out and revealed Senior Martial Brother Zhuge after the fire faded away.


    "Fire-elemental experts, open your defenses and enter together," Senior Martial Brother Zhuge smiled and said.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The group from the Sky Suspension Palace formed an array and dove into the lava pond together. Following after them were the imperials.


    "It''s just a small barrier." Zhao Feng''s left eye scanned through it, and he jumped into the lava pond without using any defensive abilities.


    The burning sensation quickly faded away after entering the lava pond, and a barrier as bright as the sun came into sight. Everyone passed through the barrier and entered a dimension with dense Yuan Qi, but one could see scorched patches of earth all across the place. They could even see an area above a faraway palace slightly tremble alongside surges of dragon breath that could destroy Heaven and Earth.


    "So this Xie Yang Palace is a world within a world¡­ a separate individual dimension."

 833 Abyss of Despair

    Chapter 833 - Abyss of Despair


    The Divine Illusion Dimension was a tattered world forgotten by the Ancient Gods. It floated around Heaven and Earth and would connect with the continent zone once every century.


    The dimension that they were in now was a miniature world within the Divine Illusion Dimension ¨C a world within a world.


    At this moment, everyone was now within an ancient, secret realm. Behind them was a bright barrier of flowing lava. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within this secret dimension was much denser than the outside world.


    Boom!


    Light flashed everywhere in the depths of this secret dimension, and space itself seemed to start trembling. There were surges of dragon breath that could destroy Heaven and Earth.


    One could faintly see a palace made from purple treasure stones. It was covered in a dreamy blood-colored haze and reflected a dark glitter from its surface. The palace gave everyone a feeling they couldn''t describe, as well as a wicked aura. Zhao Feng felt like this aura was similar to the Evil God Crystal.


    "The palace in the distance should be Xie Yang Palace." The Eighth Prince gazed into the distance, and everyone else also looked at the dream-like palace.


    Hu~~ Boom!


    Clashes and shaking could be heard from Xie Yang Palace in the distance. The roar of a dragon became more and more clear. The dreamy, hazy barrier around Xie Yang Palace shattered, then quickly healed itself again.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye could faintly see the large outline of a black-scaled dragon. Its every attack could shatter Heaven and crack the Earth. A faint black tornado destroyed everything nearby.


    The area outside Xie Yang Palace was scorched black and full of holes. Under the Black Serpent Dragon''s continuous attacks, many flaws and holes appeared in the forbidden misty array around the palace.


    Weng~~ Bam! Bam! Bam!


    When the misty array was attacked, it released waves of purple-and-blood-colored light that could slice through Heaven and Earth. Each purple-and-blood-colored beam that the forbidden array released could kill Kings and severely injure Emperors. However, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body had reached a monstrous level, and it took thousands upon thousands of purple-and-blood-colored beams head-on with no injuries.


    "So, that''s the power of the race ranked 9th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­?" Zhao Feng''s heart shook. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was definitely one of the strongest existences he had ever seen.


    The Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s elites outside the secret dimension felt the surges of destruction, and all of their hearts twitched.


    All the forces split into a bunch of different groups and carefully approached Xie Yang Palace.


    Xie Yang Palace was very big, and all the elites tried to take the route that was furthest away from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. Everyone was together on this point; after all, no one wanted to catch the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attention or make it angry.


    The elites approached the other side of Xie Yang Palace, and the power of the forbidden array made their hearts jump.


    "How is this forbidden array around Xie Yang Palace so strong? The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attacked it for so long and it still hasn''t been broken." The female in apricot robes from the Sky Suspension Palace was shocked.


    All of them knew how terrifying the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attacks were just by looking at the aura above. Each of the Black Serpent Dragon''s attacks could destroy an entire two-star sect. None of the geniuses and elites present were confident that they could block a single blow from the Black Serpent Dragon.


    "To us, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is undefeatable." Zhao Feng sighed in his heart as he admitted this. His left eye-bloodline could see more than the others, and he came to this conclusion after a deep analysis.


    "Hehe." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge from the Sky Suspension Palace gave a faint smile. "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s goal is to destroy the entire array; of course it''s going to be hard."


    Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. After all, the array around Xie Yang Palace was a God''s Forbidden Array, and it had the ability to regenerate. However, since quite some time had passed, the forbidden array had lost some of its power, so there were some flaws now.


    "Hahaha, we need to thank that Black Serpent Dragon for opening the way for us. The frenzied attacks of that dragon created many gaps and cracks."


    "Zezeze, although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is strong, it will find it hard to enter the palace through the forbidden array with its large body."


    Some of the geniuses laughed with smugness and mockery. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had opened the way for them and allowed the humans to take advantage of it. It was as if the Black Serpent Dragon was serving the humans.


    Even now, the relentless attacks from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon created flaws and cracks in the forbidden array around Xie Yang Palace. There were many array masters here, and they could see the flaws in the forbidden array.


    "Find the stable flaws and try to enter through them."


    The elites tried to find big-enough gaps that they could use to enter Xie Yang Palace. However, every time any crack appeared, the God''s Forbidden Array would quickly regenerate, so the time it was open was very short.


    "Gaps and flaws in normal arrays would usually last for a while, but this is a God''s Forbidden Array, so the difficulty of entering through any flaw is much more difficult and dangerous," Xin Wuheng murmured.


    If it was just a normal top-tier array, one could enter through a gap even if it meant taking some damage in the process. However, the God''s Forbidden Array was different; any counterattack could kill Void God Realm Kings.


    "We won''t be counterattacked if we enter through the gaps of the Array. This is the safest method," an array master said.


    However, the cracks were created by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attacks, and the God''s Forbidden Array would quickly regenerate, so no one could control where or when the cracks appeared. Given how shortly they lasted, it would be difficult to enter through them.


    "We''ll wait for the instant a crack appears."


    Many elites started to wait at certain areas where more cracks appeared. Some places had a higher possibility of cracks appearing, but they couldn''t get too close to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon or else they would be discovered.


    Some of the better areas were taken by the stronger forces, such as the Sky Suspension Palace and the Great Gan Imperials. While some of the other forces were dissatisfied, they didn''t do anything.


    "It''s just a matter of time."


    Some of the forces didn''t care. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, who weren''t with any of the forces, were further back in line.


    Shua!


    A genius from the Sky Suspension Palace quickly dove into a gap, but the gap only appeared for an instant before recovering, so only one person managed to enter.


    Shua! Shua!


    Members of the imperials and the Sky Suspension Palace occasionally dove into the nearby gaps, and the remaining forces just watched. However, when half of the members of those two forced had entered, the cracks stopped appearing.


    "What''s going on? Why hasn''t the next crack appeared?"


    Many of the forces started to talk. At this moment, Xuanyuan Wen and the Ninth Prince were leading part of their forces into Xie Yang Palace already. These people were waiting for more cracks to appear, but no cracks appeared for a long time, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attacks seemed to have stopped.


    "Something''s wrong¡­." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s eyebrows furrowed as he started to think.


    At a certain moment, he instinctively glanced toward the direction of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and his expression changed dramatically when he saw that the figure was gone.


    Wu~~~~


    A dragon roar suddenly sounded from above, and an aura of Destruction crushed down on the humans.


    "Arghh!"


    The forces present saw a dark shadow blot out the sky over their heads, and their backs were drenched in cold sweat when they saw what was above them.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon!"


    A black-scaled serpent dragon that was five hundred yards long appeared above their heads. It had a black chain as thick as a barrel around it, and its eyes were the size of a room. It looked down at this group of "ants" with coldness and playfulness.


    At this instant, everyone started to scream, and their hearts reached their throats. No one imagined that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would have concealed its aura and stealthily fly over to them.


    Wu~~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave a Heaven-and-Earth-shaking roar as an invisible gust of wind and dragon-force bore down.


    Plop! Plop!


    Some of the geniuses and elites were unable to withstand the pressure and instantly fell to the ground.


    Wah! Wah!


    Many people spat out a mouthful of blood. Those below the Void God Realm almost didn''t have any ability to fight back against the pressure from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon at all.


    "Black Serpent Dragon¡­." Zhao Feng''s body became heavy, and his bloodline instinctively shook. His thoughts spun as he thought of countless ways to escape, but he found that the possibility of success was low no matter what.


    Hu~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave a roar and summoned a faint black whirlwind in the shape of a ring, which covered everything within ten miles. The forces of the Sky Suspension Palace, the Great Gan Imperials, the Sky Sword Pavilion, the Nine Darkness Palace¡­ all of the groups were covered by the ring-shaped black whirlwind.


    "Arghh!"


    One of the groups near the edge tried to escape, but their Void God Realm King and four half-step Kings were ripped into shreds by the whirlwind.


    Pa!


    A large dragon claw descended from the sky and crushed the remaining members of the group into meat paste, creating a giant crater.


    Siii!


    All of the groups took in a cold breath. In just one exchange, the Black Serpent Dragon killed the entire group from a three-star power.


    "Dumb humans, how dare you follow the magnificent Destruction Dragon Race and try to use me to enter Xie Yang Palace?" A cold voice that seemed to rule the skies sounded.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body twirled in the air, and the terrifying black whirlwind surrounded all the groups below as the serpent dragon revealed a gruesome and cruel expression.


    All of the elites fell into despair.


    "Ahhh, fight~~~~!"


    A small number of elites became crazy; they burned their True Yuan and used their secret techniques just so they could escape.


    Bam!


    A large dragon claw descended from the sky and sealed the area as it quickly killed the elites that tried to run away.


    "Sacred Emperor''s Swo-!" The Thirteenth Prince fell into despair and tried to pull out the Sacred Emperor''s Sword, but he was stopped by the wrinkled elder.


    "Senior Martial Brother Zhuge!" Xuanyuan Wen, who had already entered Xie Yang Palace, exclaimed as he watched the nightmare unfolding outside. He could do nothing to stop it.


    Everyone outside the palace was in an abyss of despair. The people that could remain calm in this almost-certain-death situation could be counted with one hand.


    "So what if we die?" The white-bearded old man from the Sky Sword Pavilion gave a laugh; he wasn''t scared ¨C he was ready to face death.


    Apart from him, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, Xin Wuheng, Zhao Feng, and some others remained calm in this abyss of despair and started to think of a way to escape.

 834 Mark of Destruction

    Chapter 834 - Mark of Destruction


    The terrifying aura of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suppressed the entire area, and a faint black whirlwind surrounded all the elites present.


    In the air, the five-hundred-yard-long Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s scaled body moved in circles in the air above everyone''s heads and gave off a soul-shaking roar. Everyone was dead-silent, and cold sweat appeared on all the geniuses'' foreheads as they revealed looks of despair and fear. Most of the people had fallen to the ground and started shaking. They didn''t even have the ability to fight back in front of the Destruction Serpent Dragon''s aura.


    "Zhao Feng¡­" Nan Gongsheng''s scalp tingled, and he looked at Zhao Feng next to him as he stood in this abyss of despair.


    Despite everything though, Zhao Feng didn''t panic; his eyes revealed his calm.


    They had both witnessed the appearance of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon when it broke the seal, so they already knew how terrifying it was.


    "So, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon already sensed some of the people following it earlier, but in its eyes, all the humans that have entered the Divine Illusion Dimension were just ants and could be ignored¡­."


    Zhao Feng first tried to understand everything.


    The humans that had entered from the outside world underestimated the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s intelligence and thought that it just created pure destruction wherever it went.


    Many of the elites revealed regretful expressions. Just a moment earlier, some people were even mocking the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon for its stupidity.


    "Brother Feng, are we going to die?" Zhao Yufei revealed a look of unwillingness and despair as her gaze also landed on Zhao Feng. If she was to die, she would rather die with the one she loved.


    "To us, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is undefeatable, and it''s faster than all of us as well."


    Zhao Feng remained calm.


    Resistance meant death, and trying to run meant death as well. The opponent was unparalleled, and even peak Emperors might not be able to block the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s dragon breath. The Wolf Emperor that died earlier was an example.


    However, Zhao Feng soon felt that something was wrong. If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had unparalleled battle-power and supreme intelligence, why didn''t it just kill them immediately? All of the humans in front of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were just ants to it. A mere sneeze could kill an entire group of people. If it wanted to kill them, they would already be dead.


    Then¡­ there''s only one answer. A light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes as he let out a breath for now.


    At least for the short term, Zhao Feng didn''t need to worry about his safety, and he gave Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng a look that meant "relax." With Zhao Feng''s look, Zhao Yufei''s and nan Gongsheng''s fear and despair became a bit weaker.


    "Lord Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, may I ask¡­ what use are we to you?" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge took a deep breath as he glanced at the tall black-scaled figure above.


    A small number of people understood why the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t kill them immediately and that it only killed those who tried to run. There was only one answer ¨C they were useful to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon somehow.


    "Very good, I need smart people like you." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon smiled as praise appeared in its eyes.


    Hearing that, everyone below bowed down and said that they were willing to help.


    "Humans, as you can see, my body is extremely big, and there is a Yuan Sealing Divine Chain binding me, which makes it difficult for me to enter the Xie Yang God Palace."


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s cold gaze scanned over the area.


    "You mean¡­?" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge asked. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng revealed thoughtful expressions.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was just too big. Under normal situations, it would be able to use a secret technique to become smaller or even transform into a human. However, the Yuan Sealing Divine Chain was limiting its abilities.


    "I will send you all safely into Xie Yang Palace, but you humans need to help me find the keys to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chain or destroy the central array of Xie Yang Palace." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s deep voice resounded across the entire area, and all of the elites present felt as if life had come back to them; they were filled with joy.


    As they thought, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon needed them to do something for them.


    "With the help of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, we''ll be able to get the treasures within Xie Yang Palace much easier."


    Some of the older elites revealed a joyful look. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon might know some things about Xie Yang Palace, and the geniuses were now able to get its help.


    "You have a time limit of one month. I will be able to enter Xie Yang Palace after a month, and if you haven''t done what I asked¡­ I will kill everyone." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s voice was cold, and a bone-chilling killing Intent made everyone''s feet feel cold.


    "Lord Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, please don''t worry; we will do our best."


    The elites below all nodded their heads and let out a breath. No matter what, they had won a month''s time to breathe. A month''s time may be enough for some unexpected changes to happen.


    "I will leave a Mark of Destruction on all of you." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave a cunning smile.


    Mark of Destruction? Everyone''s heart shook. They could tell that it wasn''t something good.


    "Go." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon waved its claws and created about two hundred beams of scarlet-black light and sent them toward the elites.


    No one present dared to dodge it.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    These scarlet-black beams merged into their bodies.


    Whoosh!


    One of them merged into Zhao Feng''s body as well.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng felt a unique aura of Destruction travel throughout his flesh and across his body. It even eroded his soul.


    "This is a bloodline marking of the Destruction Dragon Race. Even though it''s just a simplified version, anyone weaker than a Demigod will find it hard to get rid of it, and it can stay in the target''s body for a hundred years¡­." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon acted as if it had victory in its grasp.


    A hundred years? Everyone''s heart trembled. Didn''t that mean that, even if they managed to escape, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would chase after them for a hundred years if they didn''t do what it wanted? Furthermore, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s sense for this marking was extremely unique since it was a bloodline power.


    This aura is extremely unique; it contains a pure and original aura of Destruction that is extremely difficult to get rid of¡­. Zhao Feng inspected it.


    With this mark, even if they were extremely far away, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would probably be able to sense them. This meant that, even if someone had the ability to stealthily escape from Xie Yang Palace, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would be able to easily sense them and then kill them.


    Everyone''s heart was heavy. When the Mark of Destruction fully merged into their bodies, a thin black line appeared on everyone''s body and face.


    Amongst them, Zhao Yufei revealed a painful expression. The Spiritual Race bloodline within her body started to clash with the other bloodline.


    "Hmm? Spiritual Race bloodline?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed a weird expression and waved its claws, sending arcs of scarlet-black lightning into Zhao Yufei''s body. The Mark of Destruction within Zhao Yufei''s body was strengthened by several times, reaching a level where her Spiritual Race bloodline could do nothing to fight back.


    "Very good, your potential exceeded my estimates. I hope you can finish the mission quickly."


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave a cold smile. The stronger and more intelligent these humans were, the faster they could finish the task.


    "Start!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s tail smashed toward the God''s Forbidden Array around Xie Yang Palace.


    Each of the purple-and-blood-colored beams could slay Kings and severely injure Emperors. However, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was able to block this power, and it used its dragon claws to rip open a gap dozens of yards long and half a yard wide.


    "Go in!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s cold voice sounded, and everyone recovered from the shock of witnessing the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s strength firsthand.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Most of the elites present flew into the gap.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could maintain a gap that everyone could enter. Compared to before, this was much less risky. If one missed the timing with the earlier gaps, they could be instantly killed by the God''s Forbidden Array.


    The elites of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty soon entered the God''s Forbidden Array and into Xie Yang Palace.


    Even after entering Xie Yang Palace, everyone could feel the terrifying aura from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. It caused their bodies and bloodlines to feel pressured.


    "This is a rough map of the palace." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon used its other claw and drew in the air. The outline of Xie Yang Palace appeared above their heads. However, this was just a rough outline from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s memories, so it was quite simple. Most of the people present were either a half-step King or a King, so they easily remembered it.


    "Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, are you okay¡­?" Within the palace, Xuanyuan Wen let out a breath as he met up with the others from Sky Suspension Palace.


    Of the people present, only the people that Xuanyuan Wen and the Ninth Prince led into the palace earlier didn''t have the Mark of Destruction on them, but that didn''t really matter when the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was still guarding right outside.


    After walking some distance:


    "Everyone, are we really going to help find the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chain for the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon?"


    "Even if we complete the task, will the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon let us live?"


    The leaders gathered together and started to discuss.


    At the same time, mockery appeared in the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes as it floated in the air outside Xie Yang Palace.


    Right at this moment:


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon can probably still hear us at this distance," an emotionless voice sounded from the group.


    Hearing that, everyone looked toward the speaker, and their gaze landed on a purple-haired youth ¨C Zhao Feng of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    "What!?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, who was still listening outside Xie Yang Palace, exclaimed, but it wasn''t able to see what was happening inside, so it didn''t know who was speaking.


    "Therefore, any communication and planning we make will be known, including our Spiritual Sense and Divine Sense," the emotionless voice sounded once more, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression changed slightly. The owner of this voice was definitely not simple.


    "Looks like I missed someone. There was an expert hiding among those people," the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon murmured.


    Within Xie Yang Palace:


    "He''s right."


    Xin Wuheng and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge closed their eyes for a while to sense around and nodded their heads.


    Learning that truth, everyone was stunned. Didn''t that mean that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would hear any plan they made? If all of their words were heard by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, how would they manage to escape?


    "Zhao Feng, do you have any way to get rid of this Mark of Destruction?" Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but ask him in private since he saw Zhao Feng acting so confidently.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon sensed that message as well and started to listen carefully.

    Chapter 835 - Gold Everywhere


    "Zhao Feng, do you have any way to get rid of this Mark of Destruction?"


    Nan Gongsheng''s Divine Sense didn''t manage to escape the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s senses. Zhao Feng''s existence had already raised the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attention. This person definitely wasn''t simple if they were able to see through the sensing abilities of the Mark of Destruction.


    "For now, it''s not important whether I can deal with mark." Zhao Feng shook his head and dodged the question.


    Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but sigh. Indeed, even if they could resolve the Mark of Destruction, it didn''t mean much at the moment. The Black Serpent Dragon would definitely keep a close eye on Xie Yang Palace. The Black Serpent Dragon was still unrivalled, the Mark of Destruction was just a method to restrict and threaten them a little.


    If I use the power of the God Tribulation Lightning, I might be able to get rid of the Mark of Destruction, Zhao Feng thought.


    In comparison to the Cursed Words of Death, this simplified Mark of Destruction was much easier to handle. After all, the price required in order to use the Cursed Words of Death was massive.


    There was another reason as well; the Black Serpent Dragon was currently very weak. Its strength might not even be one one-hundredth of its peak. Adding on the fact that it still had the Yuan Sealing Divine Chain restricting it, many of its methods were limited.


    However, Zhao Feng didn''t want to get rid of the Mark of Destruction so quickly because that would make the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wary.


    Outside Xie Yang Palace:


    "Interesting. The talents, bloodlines, and techniques of these people are not normal. Even the Spiritual Race bloodline and a complete Void God Intent have appeared." The playfulness on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s face became wider. The strongest of these humans was only comparable to an Emperor; how big of a wave could they possibly make? Even Emperors were just slightly-bigger ants in the eyes of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. They were nothing worth mentioning.


    On a piece of flat land, the elites all gathered together.


    "Only Brother Xuanyuan and I don''t have a Mark of Destruction. Why not let us two decide on what to do?" the Ninth Prince suggested.


    Hearing that, the remaining people nodded their heads and didn''t speak. If they spoke, the Mark of Destruction within their bodies would be able to sense it very easily.


    Those from Sky Suspension Palace and the Great Gan Imperials felt lucky; their strongest geniuses had entered Xie Yang Palace and weren''t hit by the Mark of Destruction.


    The Ninth Prince, Xuanyuan Wen, and company soon came to a conclusion, which was agreed upon by everyone.


    "We have two things we need to do." The Ninth Prince paused.


    Two things: find the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chain and figure out a way to escape the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s control.


    "If we find the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chain first, we can use it to threaten the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon." The Ninth Prince smiled faintly as he spoke in a low tone.


    Everyone''s eyes lit up, and Zhao Feng nodded his head in agreement.


    After the outline of the plan was set, the forces spread out to find the fortune within Xie Yang Palace as well as the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chain.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng turned into a layer of silver and purple as they sped toward the depths of Xie Yang Palace.


    "The best thing to do is increase our strength. This Xie Yang Palace is a mysterious palace of an Ancient God, so the fortune contained within should far exceed the outside world."


    A hint of expectation appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Most of the buildings within Xie Yang Palace were protected by the God''s Forbidden Array, but they weren''t as threatening as the main portion of the array.


    Every brick that was destroyed here would recover with the help of the God''s Forbidden Array, and as an Ancient God''s Palace, the strength of the materials was far stronger than normal. Normal attacks would do nothing to them.


    Shua!


    At a certain moment in time, a silver and purple light stopped in front of a fruit forest.


    "Hmm?"


    "What pure Heaven Earth essence. The Heaven Earth essence here far surpasses most other treasures."


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were surprised. The surges of Heaven Earth essence came from the nearby fruit forest. Looking over, they saw Spiritual Fruits growing on the trees in the fruit forest, and the Heaven Earth essence radiating from them brought a thick Yuan Qi.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but go closer.


    "There''s no God''s Forbidden Array guarding it?"


    They were surprised. Some of the fruits in the fruit forest were extremely rare in the outside world, and they could either be eaten directly or refined into pills. However, what surprised them most was that this fruit forest wasn''t guarded by the God''s Forbidden Array.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly appeared and jumped onto a fruit tree, then started to eat some fruits.


    "Snowing Pear¡­ Camel Dragon Green Raisins¡­ Blood Yang¡­."


    Zhao Feng used his powerful memory to identify these fruits.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng also started to pick some fruits. The process was extremely straightforward and wasn''t disrupted by anyone.


    "Maybe these fruits are aren''t that special in this place," Zhao Feng concluded while he was picking the fruits.


    After identifying them, he realized that these were fruits meant to be eaten on a daily basis, but they contained large sources of Heaven Earth essence due to the unique environment of Xie Yang Palace.


    These Spiritual Fruits were extremely useful to those at the Origin Core Realm in helping increase one''s cultivation. They even helped Void God Realms to a certain degree.


    "These fruits are almost completely extinct in the outside world." Nan Gongsheng was excited. If he could take them out, they would be worth a lot, and there was a huge number of them.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Right at this moment, two or three groups closed in on the fruit forest.


    "There''s no array guarding this many Spiritual Fruits?"


    These people were all stunned.


    Ceng! Ceng! Ceng!


    These three groups soon started to pick the fruits as well. Since there were at least several thousand Spiritual Fruits, no one fought with each other.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!"


    One of the forces came from the Nine Darkness Palace. Jiu Wuji in his black battle robes squinted his eyes as he inspected Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    However, everyone knew that this duo was troublesome and weird. Although there were only two of them, these three-star forces didn''t want to offend them, or rather, they didn''t dare to.


    In just a short while, the Spiritual Fruits were picked clean. What was surprising was that, in the process, none of the three forces fought each other another. The main reason was that there were just too many Spiritual Fruits; each force got at least a thousand.


    Everyone was filled with excitement. Although they weren''t peerless Spiritual Fruits, they were still happy that they were able to gather so many without using any effort.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    After picking the fruits, the forces headed toward the depths of Xie Yang Palace.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng ate the fruits, and they were in front of most of the groups. At this moment, their advantage of being just a duo came into play. The normal members of other forces hadn''t reached the Void God Realm, whereas Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s strength far exceeded most of these geniuses and elites.


    The duo stopped after traveling about a dozen miles.


    Ding! Ding! Crack!


    In a forest ahead, a group was cutting bamboo shoots, and there was a metallic ringing sound. These bamboo shoots were green, and they were about several meters high. The tallest of them was more than a dozen meters and gave off a pure spiritual aura.


    "Sky Rhyme Bamboo!" Zhao Feng recognized the bamboo immediately and gave a weird look.


    Sky Rhyme Bamboo was a material used to craft Earth-grade weapons and make instruments of the Dao of Entertainment. In the outside world, this bamboo was almost extinct.


    "Hahaha, it''s extremely hard to find Sky Rhyme Bamboo at such a level in the outside world. The quality of this bamboo is probably enough to craft high-tier Earth-grade weapons."


    "Cut faster! We''ll be rich after we leave the Divine Illusion Dimension."


    The group was from a three-star power.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A beam of silver and purple flashed through the air and landed amidst the Sky Rhyme Bamboo forest.


    "I''d feel bad if we didn''t cut some of this high-quality Sky Rhyme Bamboo and take it back."


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng started to cut the bamboo as well, but the Sky Rhyme Bamboo was extremely tough; normal weapons couldn''t damage it.


    Bam!


    A silver-purple spatial blade formed in Nan Gongsheng''s hand as he used his spatial talent to cut a bamboo shoot with every stroke.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat gripped a shadow-like dagger and easily cut through the bamboo shoots. It was even more relaxed than Nan Gongsheng.


    Zhao Feng didn''t have many sharp tools or weapons, so instead, he just flew to the top of a tall bamboo and gazed down.


    His expression turned weird at what he saw. With the help of the God''s Spiritual Eye, he saw that all the elites and geniuses that had entered Xie Yang Palace were taking every patch of grass and all the flowers in Xie Yang Palace as if they were possessed.


    Everything in Xie Yang Palace was gold.


    "Even the most normal brick or flower in Xie Yang Palace is a rare treasure for us outsiders." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sigh.


    One had to admit that the difference between Gods and mortals was extremely big.


    According to his inspections, he saw that the more important structures were guarded by the God''s Forbidden Array. The things that they could take were basically useless and had no value to the owner of the palace. Even the servants didn''t care for these items.


    Simply put, the grass and flowers were the same as air and dirt to those who lived in the palace.


    On a hill opposite them, another group was crazily digging into the ground.


    Next to a lake, several older elites were full of excitement as they jumped into the lake and started to catch fish or gather herbs.


    Zhao Feng''s face twitched as his left eye scanned over the palace. These geniuses and elites of the outside world were like hobos that entered a mansion and started stealing everything they could carry.


    Zhao Feng was one of these hobos as well. Thinking up to there, even he felt slightly embarrassed.


    "Idiotic humans, no matter how much trash you collect, all of you will die if you don''t finish the mission within a month," a cold voice full of mockery sounded next to their ears.


    Everyone that had a Mark of Destruction heard this voice.


    The scenery in Xie Yang Palace made the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon feel angry and like laughing at the same time. It really hoped that "iron would turn into steel." These humans were attracted by all the useless bricks and flowers around Xie Yang Palace and giving it their all to take them.

 836 Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Roots

    Chapter 836 - Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Roots


    "Idiotic humans, no matter how much trash you collect, all of you will die if you don''t finish the mission within a month." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s voice made the elites and geniuses, who were excitedly mining, hacking away, or picking items, feel cold. The voice was like a bucket of cold water that was poured over their heads.


    Some of the geniuses and elites stopped what they were doing as a dangerous sensation filled their hearts. Not very long ago, they barely survived the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and they only had one month to live.


    "Trash?" Nan Gongsheng, who was cutting the Sky Rhyme Bamboo, felt his face twitch. All the other elites who were cutting the bamboo started moving quicker as urgency appeared in their hearts.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat unwillingly put away the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger and returned to Zhao Feng''s shoulder.


    "We can''t waste our time on the outer edges of Xie Yang Palace."


    Zhao Feng stood on a tall bamboo shoot, and he had a rough estimate of Xie Yang Palace''s situation from the inspection he did a moment ago.


    It wasn''t hard to tell from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s tone that the depths of Xie Yang Palace had much greater fortune. However, regardless of that, their lives came first. If one couldn''t protect themselves, then it didn''t matter how many resources they obtained.


    "Let''s go."


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng headed toward the depths of Xie Yang Palace. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had given them a rough drawing of Xie Yang Palace before they entered.


    Although Xie Yang Palace sounded like a palace, it was actually an entire individual world with many of its own laws. The more important places had the God''s Forbidden Array protecting them.


    "We need to enter Xie Yang Palace''s more important areas in order to find the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chain, as well as the core of the God''s Forbidden Array."


    A cold light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes. When the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave them this task and threatened them, a plan started to form in Zhao Feng''s heart.


    Once this plan succeeds, not only will everyone be safe, we might also be able to counterattack the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon¡­. Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    While the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was unrivalled, Xie Yang Palace was a God''s palace. If they used it well, they probably had a chance to counterattack.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng headed toward the depths of Xie Yang Palace. Nan Gongsheng didn''t know that the purple-haired youth next to him already had the outline of a courageous plan to deal with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    The two paused after flying for another couple dozen miles.


    There was a path to some flower pots and pavilions that were made from a glittering stone.


    "Flashing Emerald!" Zhao Feng immediately recognized this weird material.


    Flashing Emerald was a top material to craft weapons, and it could strengthen the power of weapons. It was extremely rare in the outside world. Some peak-tier Earth-grade weapons required Flashing Emerald, and here it was being used to make a path in Xie Yang Palace.


    "Let''s go." Zhao Feng resisted the temptation and led Nan Gongsheng further in.


    They met many other temptations and fortunes along the way, and they almost wanted to stop and take some.


    "Don''t rush. There''s definitely even greater fortune deeper in Xie Yang Palace."


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath. After all, they had only just entered the God''s palace, and all these bricks and flowers they saw were of the lowest tier. Zhao Feng believed that the truly important treasures were further in.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At the same time, several elite groups were also heading toward the depths of Xie Yang Palace, but because the laws in Xie Yang Palace were extremely powerful, even Void God Realm Kings could only jump around since they couldn''t fly. Therefore, their speed wasn''t very fast.


    Half a day later:


    "Hmm?"


    A dazzling pond appeared in their sight. The pond had waves moving through it, and there was a patch of white lotuses with lotus fruits.


    They could feel a surge of pure Yuan Qi before they even got close. These white lotuses were definitely not normal, and some of the pure white petals gave off a calm and soothing white glow. The green leaves around them also gave off a dazzling green light and radiated a strong surge of lifeforce. The lotus roots in the pond were as smooth as jade and made one want to give them a bite.


    "Green Water Sky Lotus! It''s that legendary rare lotus?" A group flew over right at this moment. The leader was a bald male in black battle robes ¨C Jiu Wuji of Nine Darkness Palace.


    "Green Water Sky Lotus!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other with surprise.


    In terms of rarity, the Green Water Sky Lotus could be compared to the Sky Water Crystal Lotus, but it was slightly better in terms of effect. However, there were at least several hundred Green Water Sky Lotuses in the pond; in other words, comparable to several hundred Sky Water Crystal Lotuses.


    Hu~~


    Everyone present couldn''t help but take in a deep breath.


    "The petals of a Green Water Sky Lotus can be used for many things. They can cleanse and purify the soul, heal hidden injuries and poisons, and increase one''s state of existence¡­."


    "The fruit formed by the Green Water Sky Lotus can help form Soul Intent, and it''s beneficial even for Void God Realm Kings. The leaves can also heal injuries very effectively."


    Those from Nine Darkness Palace were excited and tempted.


    The Green Water Sky Lotus could be used for many things. The petals, lotus fruits, and even the leaves had good effects. Its overall value exceeded even the Sky Water Crystal Lotus.


    "The Green Water Sky Lotus can help consolidate our strength." Zhao Feng decided to stay.


    If it was a normal resource, he wouldn''t stay that long if the value wasn''t insanely high. However, the Green Water Sky Lotus would be useful in consolidating Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s strength. The lotus fruits could help Zhao Feng consolidate and recover his Emperor Intent.


    At the same time, the lotus fruits could help condense Nan Gongsheng''s Soul Intent. In addition, the petals could cleanse the wicked energy from the Evil God''s Crystal.


    One had to know that Nan Gongsheng was only a little bit away from breaking through to the late stages of the Void God Realm.


    "What are those lotus roots?" Those from Nine Darkness Palace stood next to the pond, and their gaze landed on the lotus roots in the pond. The lotus roots had a smooth glow like the snow-white skin of a goddess; it was extremely attractive.


    Sou! Sou!


    Right at this moment, another group flew over. The leader was a pretty purple-haired girl. Zhao Feng recognized her as Ji Lan from the one of the Eight Big Families, the Ji Family.


    A faint purple haze spun in her eyes as she inspected the pond, and her body shook slightly.


    "It''s actually Green Water Sky Lotuses?"


    "Those snow-white lotus roots growing with the Green Water Sky Lotuses¡­ could they be the legendary Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root?"


    Ji Lan''s expression changed dramatically after a close inspection.


    Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root. A small number of people present recalled this term, and their hearts shook. "The legend says¡­ a Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root can create a peerless physical body?"


    According to ancient records, some experts used the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root to form their physical bodies, and their chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm were twice as high as someone with a normal body.


    Many people started to discuss in shock. The Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root didn''t have much of an effect in raising one''s raw strength or cultivation, but it was just too useful; it could create a physical body that was much stronger than normal humans.


    I must get those Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots. A light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes. The Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots were extremely important to him, and not just because of his body-strengthening technique.

 837 Changing Attitude

    Chapter 837 - Changing Attitude


    Next to the pond, those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family held their breaths as they were filled with temptation. The Green Water Sky Lotuses and the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots were legendary resources that were rare to even lay eyes on, let alone use.


    The Green Water Sky Lotus had many uses while the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root had the profound ability to create a perfect body. Comparatively, the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root was slightly more valuable since it had that unique ability, but the overall usefulness of the Green Water Sky Lotuses was higher since they could increase one''s state of existence and heal injuries.


    "So many Green Water Sky Lotuses¡­ we''re rich!" A member of the Ji Family was filled with excitement as he dove into the green pond.


    "Quick!" A genius from Nine Darkness Palace couldn''t hold it in and reached for a Green Water Sky Lotus.


    The expressions of Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan changed slightly, but they couldn''t stop their subordinates.


    Bo~~


    A layer of dazzling green water appeared as a surge of water shot out from the pond.


    Bam! Bam!


    The two geniuses that were about to get close to the Green Water Sky Lotuses were sent flying.


    Wah! Wah!


    The two half-step King geniuses coughed out blood in midair.


    Bo~~


    The green flow of water in the pond seemed to have its own consciousness as a spout of water shot out toward the two geniuses.


    "Help me¡­!" The two geniuses struggled in the air with fear.


    Jiu Wuji snickered coldly as he grabbed out with a pitch-black hand and pulled his elite back, whereas Ji Lan took out a silver whip and wrapped the genius from her family like an agile snake. However, she was a bit slower, and her family''s genius was engulfed by the green whirlpool.


    "Arghh!" The lower half of that genius was ripped into pieces by the green whirlpool, and then his entire body was devoured.


    Ji Lan felt a tremendous pulling force, and her body shook. She was almost pulled in by the power of the green whirlpool. Since that genius had already been ripped into shreds, she easily took her whip back.


    Ji Lan''s face was pale-white, and she let out a breath. The unknown power within the green pond definitely had the ability to devour Void God Realm Kings.


    The reason why Zhao Feng, Jiu Wuji, and company didn''t do anything earlier was because they felt the aura of a powerful water spirit within the pond.


    Everyone around the pond was silent for a while. Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family were stunned, and their feet went cold as they moved back from the pond unconsciously.


    The two that were attacked just now were half-step Kings.


    Jiu Wuji managed to save one due to his strong battle-power, experience, and reflexes. On the other hand, the genius from the Ji Family died, and no one knew where his body would end up. It made one''s heart turn cold.


    "The pond seems to have its own consciousness, which will automatically attack any targets."


    "What kind of unknown power is hiding in the pond?"


    Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family stared at the green pond and discussed in low voices.


    At this moment, the surface of the pond became calm once more, and it looked like a normal pond.


    "As I thought, this pond doesn''t just have its own consciousness," Zhao Feng murmured as a faint smile appeared on his face.


    He and Nan Gongsheng were the first to arrive, but they had stood next to the pond and did nothing.


    "Sir Zhao, may you give us a pointer or two about the pond?" Ji Lan humbly asked Zhao Feng. The shock still hadn''t worn off for her.


    The smiling purple-haired youth seemed to have the ability to see through and control everything in the world.


    Hearing her question, both forces turned toward Zhao Feng.


    "It''s very simple," Zhao Feng said calmly. "Everything in the world has a spirit. After living in such a great environment for such a long time, a powerful Water-elemental Yao Spirit was formed."


    Water-elemental Yao Spirit? Everyone paused as they started to think.


    "Simply put, the pond itself is a living thing." Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled.


    Bo~~


    As soon as he said that, a ripple of water appeared on the surface of the pond as if it was replying to Zhao Feng. Surprise flashed across Jiu Wuji''s face.


    The pond itself was a powerful existence, and the force contained within it was enough to rip apart Void God Realm Kings, and yet Zhao Feng, who was a measly Origin Core Realm, could see through its profundity. This made Jiu Wuji become even warier of Zhao Feng.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, do you have any way we can get the Green Water Sky Lotuses?" Jiu Wuji asked in a deep tone. He had fought with the duo before, and he knew that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was never at a disadvantage.


    "Hmm¡­ I''m thinking¡­." Zhao Feng acted as if he was in deep thought, which made Jiu Wuji and company feel speechless. Zhao Feng had probably already thought of something but just didn''t want to say it, or maybe he just hadn''t confirmed his method yet and wanted to inspect it a bit more.


    Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family stood next to the pond for a while as they thought about what to do.


    "We can maybe use whips to grab the Green Water Sky Lotuses so that, even if we don''t succeed, there won''t be any danger," an older elite from Nine Darkness Palace said, and a half-step King who had a whip stood out.


    "Ha!" the half-step King exclaimed as his dark metallic silver whip became dozens of meters long and shot toward one of the Green Water Sky Lotuses.


    Just as the dark metallic silver whip was about to grab a Green Water Sky Lotus:


    Bam!


    A ripple of water shot out from the pond and pushed the dark metallic silver whip away. At the same time, a strong surge of water travelled along the whip.


    Bam! Wah!


    The half-step King holding the whip was sent flying, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he instantly became severely injured. He wasn''t able to stand up for a long time.


    "The Water Spirit within the pond is too strong. It''ll be very hard to fight against it without the battle-power of an Emperor." Jiu Wuji''s eyebrows furrowed as his expression became solemn.


    Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family then thought of many other ways they could obtain the Green Water Sky Lotus, such as distracting the Water Spirit in the pond or using fire to counter it. Some even tried to move the entire pond away.


    However, all of these methods failed and resulted in the green pond''s counterattack.


    "The pond itself is a living thing with intelligence. It can hear what you''re all saying, so why would it just sit there and let you do as you please?" Zhao Feng mocked.


    Hearing that, Jiu Wuji became slightly angry and felt that he had no face. He was an elite of the older generation. When had a junior ever talked to him like that before?


    "Sir Zhao is right. In order to deal with the pond, we need to treat it as a being with intelligence and find its weakness." Ji Lan believed him, and Jiu Wuji suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that it wasn''t a wise choice to offend the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo. He had already been defeated once in his fight against them before. However, Zhao Feng''s words gave them some things to think about.


    "Since this pond is a lifeform with intelligence, it must have a soul¡­ and it can''t evade soul attacks." A smile appeared on Ji Lan''s pretty face.


    "You mean¡­?" Jiu Wuji''s eyes lit up as he understood what Ji Lan was thinking.


    Zhao Feng revealed a look of praise and nodded his head. Since this pond was an intelligent being, and they couldn''t break through its strong Water-elemental force, then why not try another method and target the soul? Although the green pond was strong, that didn''t mean its soul was also strong. After all, even though it had a certain intelligence, it was still just a pond.


    Ji Lan and Jiu Wuji immediately teamed up.


    "Purple Star Eyes!" Ji Lan''s purple hair blew in the wind as her eyes seemed to turn into stars and shoot out a bright beam of Soul power. In this instant, all the nearby geniuses and elites felt a terrifying aura as an illusion charged into their souls.


    Ji Lan''s Purple Star Eyes specialized in the Dao of Illusion. The attack contained an illusion that could affect the soul as well as an offensive soul attack.


    Weng~~ Weng~~


    A ripple appeared on the surface of the green pond, which then turned into waves. It was obvious that Ji Lan''s soul attacks had a certain effect on it.


    "Hand of the Demonic Sky!" Jiu Wuji roared as he used this chance to attack.


    Boom~~~~!


    A giant pitch-black hand summoned black flames and smashed toward a certain area close to the edge of the pond with enough force to destroy Heaven and Earth.


    Boom!


    The large Hand of the Demonic Sky clashed with the ripple of green water on the pond.


    Under normal situations, even though the power of Jiu Wuji''s Demonic Dao secret technique was close to an Emperor''s, it wouldn''t be able to break through the pond''s defense. However, at this moment, the green pond was affected by the illusions and soul attack of the Purple Star Eyes, so it could only use 50% of its power at most.


    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bo~~~~


    Jiu Wuji circulated his demonic power and his domain to the maximum and finally pushed his Hand of the Demonic Sky down by a few yards. At the same time, the elites of the Ji Family and Nine Darkness Palace all attacked the green pond.


    "Star Destruction!" Ji Lan''s face turned red as she gritted her teeth and circulated her Soul Dao eye-bloodline techniques to the fullest.


    At last, with the combined effort of everyone, they managed to push the ripple of water down by one meter, but only in the area where the Hand of the Demonic Sky was attacking.


    A few Green Water Sky Lotuses were revealed. As for the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots, they were in the depths of the pond, so they would be harder to obtain. However, everyone was still surprised at just that much.


    "Let''s get them!"


    The two forces managed to squeeze out two older elites that used whips, who tried to obtain the Green Water Sky Lotuses. However, they weren''t any easier to obtain than the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots.


    Although the Water Spirit was suppressed, an occasional ripple would flow across the surface of the pond and push the experts away. One of the older elites with a whip was sucked away by the whirlpool. The ripples on the pond were just barely suppressed; they continuously fluctuated. An occasional jet of water or giant whirlpool would appear once in a while.


    Around ten breaths later, the combined efforts of the Ji Family and Nine Darkness Palace managed to take an incomplete Green Water Sky Lotus; they lost some petals and leaves in the process.


    "I can''t hold it for much longer!" Jiu Wuji''s face was red, and his True Yuan was in a frenzied half-burning state. His Hand of the Demonic Sky and his demonic domain were showing signs of becoming unstable.


    "I also can''t hold on for much longer!" Ji Lan''s eyes shook, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.


    "Go!" At the last moment, the older elite from the Ji Family managed to take several petals of a Green Water Sky Lotus, while some members of Nine Darkness Palace managed to take a lotus seed.


    Weng~~~ Bam!


    An enormous stormy wave formed in the green pond.


    Bam! Bam!


    Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan were sent flying. Blood leaked out of Ji Lan''s mouth, while a pair of flaming demonic wings condensed on Jiu Wuji''s back and stabilized him.


    "Not bad¡­." A smile formed on Zhao Feng''s mouth as he admired the show. The combined efforts of Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family barely managed to obtain one and a half Green Water Sky Lotuses.


    "They succeeded¡­!" Nan Gongsheng didn''t hide the greed in his eyes.


    "Not good! Everyone, watch out for the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!" Jiu Wuji suddenly remembered something and his expression changed dramatically. The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was known for plundering, and they might start plundering here as well.


    Maybe because the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo hadn''t plundered for a while, and because they had given them their train of thought, the duo was temporarily forgotten by the two leaders.


    "Dammit!" Ji Lan also remembered that and realized that she had been tricked by the duo.


    No matter how one''s appearance changed, their attitude and characteristics stayed the same. Now was a very good chance ¨C Ji Lan and Jiu Wuji had been sent flying and were both injured. Why wouldn''t the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo steal from them?


    Nan Gongsheng licked his lips unknowingly, as if he was becoming excited.


    "It''s just one and a half Green Water Sky Lotuses," a disdainful voice came from the younger purple-haired youth. At the same time, a hand gently patted Nan Gongsheng''s shoulder, stopping him from attacking.


    "They didn''t attack?"


    "When did their attitudes change?"


    Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan looked at each other and let out a breath. They felt incredulous.


    Next to the pond, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng just stood there without attacking. If the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo wanted to attack, no one could stop them right now.


    However, from Zhao Feng''s tone, it seemed like they didn''t want "just one and a half" Green Water Sky Lotuses.


    "Okay, it''s our turn now." Zhao Feng''s gaze scanned over the slightly tired forces of Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family.


    Hearing that, Ji Lan''s and Jiu Wuji''s hearts shook. Both forces were stunned as they gazed at the calm purple-haired youth.


    "What kind of method would the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo use to obtain the Green Water Sky Lotuses?" Everyone was surprised, and also expectant.


    Zhao Feng took a step forward, and purple arcs of lightning flashed through his eyes as his hair blew in the wind. A purple world of illusions seemed to form in his left eye. With just one step, Ji Lan''s eye-bloodline started to tremble.


    "Pond Yao Spirit, hand over half of the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots, and I''ll let you live." A dominating and cold voice resounded throughout the soul-dimension.


    Those from Nine Darkness Palace and the Ji Family looked at each other. Jiu Wuji''s and Ji Lan''s expressions were weird. Zhao Feng''s method was¡­ to threaten the pond spirit?

 838 Enormous Amoun

    Chapter 838 - Enormous Amount


    "Pond Yao Spirit, hand over half of the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots, and I''ll let you live."


    Zhao Feng''s forceful threat shocked everyone present. The combined forces of Jiu Wuji and Ji Lan barely managed to obtain one and a half Green Water Sky Lotuses, and now Zhao Feng was just asking for half of all the lotuses and lotus roots. The total amount was at least a couple hundred.


    As soon as his words finished:


    Boo~~


    A wave of water surged from the pond, indicating the Yao Spirit''s anger and disdain.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly as he opened his left eye-bloodline, and a purple arc of divine light shot out. A terrifying and condensed Soul eye-bloodline power transformed into a Mental Energy Spike and pierced into the green pond. As this spike emerged, the geniuses and elites present all felt a searing pain and a massive pressure, and this was just a remnant shockwave.


    Ji Lan''s Purple Star Eyes started to tremble uneasily, and her Soul eye-bloodline power was suppressed.


    Even an older elite like Jiu Wuji started to feel cold and uneasy.


    "Arghh!" A screech came from the green pond.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Mental Energy Spike contained lightning and thunder, which started to explode when it pierced into the Yao Spirit''s soul like a tribulation descending from the sky.


    Now that Zhao Feng could use part of his Emperor Intent, he could use a small amount of the God Tribulation Lightning. In addition, his soul had been refined by the God Tribulation Lightning, so even when he used a normal attack like the Mental Energy Spike, it contained the power and laws of God Tribulation Lightning.


    Weng~~ Bam!


    The ripples in the green pond became bigger as the scream in the soul dimension continued


    Just one condensed Mental Energy Spike injured the Yao Spirit''s consciousness.


    "Watch as I destroy your consciousness!" Zhao Feng roared.


    He had already seen through the Yao Spirit of the pond. The Yao Spirit was extremely strong, which was because of how it formed. After countless years of existing in this wonderful environment, it finally formed its own consciousness, and this pond was its body. However, compared to its raw power, the Yao Spirit didn''t know how to strengthen its soul. All it did was sit there every day.


    In terms of raw strength, this Yao Spirit was comparable to an Emperor, but it wasn''t even able to leave the area of this pond. Although its soul was comparable to an Emperor''s in terms of size, the quality, technique, and the actual power weren''t even at the level of a King that specialized in the Dao of the Soul. Therefore, Zhao Feng''s simple Mental Energy Spike already injured the Yao Spirit''s consciousness.


    A transparent Wind Lightning Eye Flame started to form in Zhao Feng''s left eye. This was a powerful killing move; the elements of the Wind Lightning Eye Flame countered the pond Yao Spirit perfectly.


    "What a terrifying Soul eye flame¡­." Ji Lan could feel how terrifying the Wind Lightning Eye Flame was. A normal King would be immediately slain by it, and their soul would be destroyed, giving them no chance to revive.


    Zhao Feng was confident that this blow could severely injure the Yao Spirit''s consciousness. If it went well, it could even crumble its consciousness.


    Bo~ Bo~~


    The water in the pond started to shake, as if showing the fear of the pond Yao Spirit. It didn''t matter how strong its physical aspects were because they couldn''t do anything against Zhao Feng''s Soul eye flame.


    "My Lord, spare me!" A green goddess radiating a powerful Water aura started to form in the middle of the pond. The geniuses and elites nearby all felt unable to breathe.


    "My Lord, I''ll give the Green Water Sky Lotuses and the Spiritual Flesh Jade Roots to you." The green water goddess looked extremely sympathetic.


    This scene made Jiu Wuji, Ji Lan, and company dumbfounded. They did everything the could and only obtained one and a half lotuses, while Zhao Feng actually managed to force the pond Yao Spirit to give him all the lotuses and roots.


    "Collect the spoils of war." Zhao Feng''s left eye locked on to the green water goddess that was formed by the green pond.


    "He managed to get them so easily¡­." Nan Gongsheng was dazed and unable to believe what was happening. Zhao Feng''s orders shook him back into reality, and he quickly went to collect the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots.


    Miao miao!


    With a flash of silver-gray, a little cat landed in the pond and started to collect the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots.


    Zhao Feng didn''t do anything. He just stood there, and a cold glint of ice-blue appeared in his eyes that made the green water goddess feel like she was sealed in ice.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Nan Gongsheng and the little thieving cat quickly started to gather the spoils of war from the green pond.


    Jiu Wuji and company nearby were dazed and filled with jealousy. Their unwillingness almost made them go crazy. There was a massive amount of Green Water Sky Lotuses in the pond, not to mention the roots.


    A while later, half of the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots were collected by Nan Gongsheng and the little thieving cat.


    "That''s fine." Zhao Feng waved his hand and stopped Nan Gongsheng and the little thieving cat.


    He could tell that the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots concerned the pond Yao Spirit''s foundation. Since it complied with his order, Zhao Feng was willing to let it live.


    After organizing the spoils of war, they counted the number of Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots they had picked, and it amounted to about seven hundred.


    "Zhao Feng, all these are yours." Nan Gongsheng only took ten Green Water Sky Lotuses and a few Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots.


    In reality, at Nan Gongsheng''s level, only a small number of Green Water Sky Lotus would be effective. Anything after that amount would just be a waste.


    When one reached the Mystic Light Realm or the Demigod realm, they no longer needed just a high quantity of resources, they also needed high-quality resources. Similarly, if the resources weren''t of high enough quality, one wouldn''t be able to become an Emperor even if they had a whole bunch of resources.


    "This many Green Water Sky Lotuses can create a bunch of Void God Realm Kings in the outside world."


    Zhao Feng had his own plan. The Green Water Sky Lotus was split into the petals, leaves, fruits, and seeds, which helped Soul Intent, the physical body, and had healing capabilities. It was a peerless treasure for anyone below the Void God Realm.


    Zhao Feng could use a few to consolidate his cultivation and further awaken his Emperor Intent.


    "As for the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots¡­ they have many uses¡­." A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    The Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots could create a powerful body; they weren''t just mortal bodies made from flesh and blood¡­ and Zhao Feng had the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, which allowed him to split his mind into countless thoughts.


    As long as he had enough resources, he could create a batch of Jade Root Bodies, which he could then control with the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. He could use them to bait the enemy, or he could use them as suicide bombers, and under some situations, he could even transfer his soul between the different bodies. The ultimate stage would be "turning into a hundred million." His physical body would just be a place to stay while his soul remained immortal.


    Of course, this was just a thought that Zhao Feng had after obtaining the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root. He was going outside the box.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, are you not scared your hands will become hot after taking so many resources for yourself¡­?" Jiu Wuji''s gaze was not nice.


    The geniuses and elites from the Ji Family and Nine Darkness Palace had either red or green eyes as they stared at Zhao Feng. How could they be willing to see Zhao Feng take such a huge amount of resources by himself? Just one Green Water Sky Lotus or Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Root would be a peerless treasure in the outside world, let alone the giant pile Zhao Feng just acquired.


    "What, you want to take some off us?" A playful smile formed on Zhao Feng''s face.


    Everyone froze. Zhao Feng said exactly what they were thinking. Any genius or elite would think about stealing some lotuses after seeing the amount the duo acquired.


    However, Jiu Wuji and company were extremely wary of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo''s strength. If they fought, they definitely wouldn''t be able to keep the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo behind. Even worse though, if Zhao Feng used his true strength, it was very likely that their two forces would have massive losses, and they didn''t even know it.


    The most important point was that they didn''t even know Zhao Feng''s methods or full strength. The purple-haired youth in their vision gave a smile. He was like the limitless ocean; no one knew how deep he was.


    "We''ll meet again later." Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng sped into the distance under a layer of silver and purple.


    Ridiculous! The playful tone made Jiu Wuji almost explode.


    "Eh!? Why are there so many tattered Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots here?" A genius suddenly exclaimed.


    The place where Zhao Feng was just standing was filled with tattered or broken pieces of Green Water Sky Lotuses or withered and rotten Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Roots. All in all, they were substandard.


    "Quick!" The geniuses present instantly started to fight over them, and chaos broke out amongst the two forces. There were only a couple dozen substandard ones left behind.


    After all of it was taken, Jiu Wuji''s expression was grim as he spoke through gritted teeth, "That damn Zhao Feng definitely did it on purpose."


    Zhao Feng had obtained a large amount of peerless lotuses and lotus roots, but he left a bunch of substandard ones behind for them to fight over. This was like a rich person leaving behind leftover food for beggars to fight over.


    "They''re a couple of bullies¡­!" Demonic light flashed around Jiu Wuji''s body. He was about to go crazy.


    "Hahaha!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng roared with laughter as they flew away under a layer of silver and purple.


    Four hours later, the duo found a hidden cave and took out the Green Water Sky Lotuses.


    "Zhao Feng, with these Green Water Sky Lotuses, I''ll be able to break through to the late stages of the Void God Realm soon." Nan Gongsheng was extremely confident.


    "Good." Zhao Feng took out a lotus seed and put it in his mouth as he circulated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts and started to consolidate the Emperor Intent that had just reawakened not long ago.

 839 Nan Gongshengs Decision

    Chapter 839 - Nan Gongsheng''s Decision


    The Green Water Sky Lotus had many abilities. The petals, leaves, fruits, and seeds were useful even to Void God Realm Kings.


    Zhao Feng first took out a seed to consolidate his soul. The petals, seeds, and leaves of the Green Water Sky Lotus all had the ability to cleanse and purify. The seed could purify the soul, and Zhao Feng had absorbed a large amount of energy from the Soul Suppressing Stone, which was considered "outside help" and had some downsides.


    Zhao Feng was now using the lotus seeds to consolidate his soul and get rid of those downsides.


    "It would''ve been perfect if I had gotten these Green Water Sky Lotuses earlier." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sigh as he bit into a petal, which gave off a refreshing aura in his body.


    Aside from its cleansing abilities, the petals could increase one''s state of existence and get rid of poisons and hidden injuries.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng used one Green Water Sky Lotus, and his energy was completely replenished.


    He felt slightly regretful; if he had been able to get the Green Water Sky Lotus earlier, his cultivation and strength would''ve been able to increase in every aspect. However, now that Zhao Feng''s soul-strength had already surpassed the level of Kings, the seed could only consolidate it a little, not increase his strength.


    On the other hand, Nan Gongsheng''s cultivation and soul-strength rose a bit after using the Green Water Sky Lotus.


    Nan Gongsheng was about to break through to the late stages of the Void God Realm. Zhao Feng was nearby protecting him.


    Nan Gongsheng will reach the late stages of the Void God Realm approximately three days later. Zhao Feng took back his gaze and decided to increase his strength as well before entering the depths of Xie Yang Palace.


    Shu~~


    Zhao Feng ripped off some petals and ate them.


    These petals could increase his state of existence a little, but they couldn''t really help his peak fourth level Sacred Lightning Body. This was mainly because Zhao Feng''s state of existence already had a strong foundation that surpassed normal Void God Realm Kings.


    However, he didn''t give up. He kept on eating petals one after another, which released a clear and pure aura that would continuously cleanse his body.


    The effect of one or two petals might be average, but how about dozens or even hundreds? One had to know that each Green Water Sky Lotus had almost twenty petals. At a certain point, quantity was its own quality.


    Two days later, Zhao Feng had used a total of two hundred petals, and his skin was as soft as a baby''s. It was white and soft enough to make females jealous.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes as a layer of water and lightning surrounded his body.


    Crack!


    At a certain point in time, Zhao Feng''s bones started to crack, and a faint golden glow radiated from the silver-blue symbols on his skin. Strangely, Zhao Feng''s bones and body instantly became bigger, and he was now similar to a small golden-blue giant. He was now much larger than a normal human.


    Weng~~


    A ripple of faint golden-blue lightning appeared around Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Boom!


    At this instant, the cave around Zhao Feng crumbled and only left behind a pile of small scorched black rocks around him.


    What a strong body! On the other side, Nan Gongsheng, who was about to break through, felt his body and blood shake as a powerful pressure descended on him.


    Luckily, they had maintained a certain distance.


    Crack! Crack!


    Zhao Feng''s body and flesh started to contract. He could transform into the size of a nine-year-old kid, but his actual appearance wouldn''t change.


    Weng~


    A layer of faint gold and blue started to become brighter, and it almost materialized as a barrier formed around Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Fifth level of the Sacred Lightning Body!"


    Excitement and joy appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    Some time ago, the revived child Demigod only managed to reach the early fifth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Body even with the help of a large amount of resources. He was only a small tier higher than Zhao Feng''s current level, but Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was more advanced and had more potential.


    Zhao Feng''s confidence increased dramatically after reaching the fifth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. Even without using his True Yuan or his eye-bloodline, he would be able to suppress normal Void God Realm Kings with pure physical strength.


    However, the Sacred Lightning Body didn''t just give him strength, it also gave him powerful defense, constitution, and recovery speed. It could be said that the fifth level of the Sacred Lightning Body was comparable to the early stages of the Immortal Body. Without enough power, he was basically invulnerable.


    Four hours later, a surge of Magnificent Power appeared around the same area and caused silver-and-purple streaks of light to flow in the air. A wicked aura instantly caused the nearby Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to slow down, and even the God''s Forbidden Array nearby started to shake.


    Hmm? Zhao Feng revealed a weird look. Not because Nan Gongsheng broke through, but because of the scenery after he broke through.


    One had to know that Xie Yang Palace had powerful laws that suppressed all types of energy, but Nan Gongsheng breaking through actually made the God''s Forbidden Array sense something. This made Zhao Feng ponder.


    "Success!"


    Nan Gongsheng''s purple hair became more wicked, and the purple-and-blood-colored crescent moon on his forehead became brighter. His every inhale and exhale seemed to radiate supreme power that could make normal True Yuan crumble.


    Zhao Feng was surprised by what he saw. The Evil God Crystal had merged into Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain perfectly, and it even merged into the foundation of his True Yuan dimension. Nan Gongsheng''s spatial powers were now one with the power of the Evil God Crystal.


    At this point in time, Nan Gongsheng was stronger than Jiu Wuji from Nine Darkness Palace. Even Zhao Feng didn''t have any confidence in defeating him without using his left eye-bloodline and his Emperor Intent.


    "Nan Gongsheng, congratulations. Your strength is enough for you to be in the top twenty of the Great Gan Imperial Genius rankings." Zhao Feng smiled as he congratulated.


    Nan Gongsheng''s strength was only around rank 100 of the Imperial Genius rankings when he entered the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "I reached the late stages of the Void God Realm much earlier than I thought. All of this is because of the Evil God Crystal and Junior Martial Brother Zhao¡­."


    Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but feel slightly complex when his gaze landed on Zhao Feng.


    If he hadn''t met Zhao Feng, he wouldn''t have met such fortune or continuously become stronger.


    Zhao Feng shook his head. When he first entered the Divine Illusion Dimension, he needed a group just to survive, but luckily, he met Nan Gongsheng and used the latter''s King-level strength and Space techniques to survive.


    To a certain degree, one could say that Zhao Feng allowed Nan Gongsheng to achieve his current results, but Nan Gongsheng did the same for Zhao Feng. They were the perfect duo.


    Now, both Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had the ability to go solo if they wanted to. Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body had broken past the fourth level, so he didn''t have any weaknesses and no longer needed Nan Gongsheng''s protection.


    "Zhao Feng, I can feel a source of power from the depths of Xie Yang Palace summoning me." Nan Gongsheng hesitated before finally speaking.


    Hearing that, a light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes. The Evil God Crystal might very likely have been formed by the Ancient God Xie Yang to stabilize the destruction of the Black Serpent Dragon.


    However, no matter how strong the seal was, it had become weaker after countless years. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng taking the Evil God Crystal away only moved the inevitable forward a little.


    "Nan Gongsheng, although you''ve started to merge with the power of the Evil God Crystal, your attitude hasn''t changed yet. If you follow this summoning, you might become a lot stronger, but the danger is almost unimaginable. Maybe at the end, all of this will result in nothing," Zhao Feng warned.


    The summoning was most likely left behind by the power of the Ancient God Xie Yang or something related.


    Nan Gongsheng had two choices right now.


    One was to do nothing; with the help of the Evil God Crystal, Nan Gongsheng''s potential had risen dramatically, and he didn''t need to worry about anything before reaching the Heavenly Divine Realm. His current future might not be any weaker than the Demigod Kun Yun at his peak.


    The second was to follow the summoning, but the danger involved was unimaginable. After all, the Evil God Crystal was a power that belonged to Gods, and this place was a God''s palace. The power of Gods wasn''t something mortals could think about. Furthermore, Xie Yang was a wicked God; he wasn''t a nice person.


    Nan Gongsheng took a deep breath as his expression kept on changing. The decision he made next would change his life.


    In reality, Nan Gongsheng was already extremely lucky that the Evil God Crystal hadn''t twisted his attitude, and Zhao Feng had helped him in that regard. In Nan Gongsheng''s heart, Zhao Feng was a mountain that couldn''t be surpassed.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, you created a miracle when surviving the Pursuit of Death, and you even revived the Demigod Kun Yun. If you''re going to help me, help me to the end." Nan Gongsheng bowed to Zhao Feng with gratitude and expectation.


    "You make the decision." A strong physical force appeared from Zhao Feng''s body and stopped Nan Gongsheng from bowing.


    "Instinct tells me that the summoning can let me reach the peak of life and maybe even touch the domain of Gods." Nan Gongsheng took a deep breath as an extreme desire for power appeared in his eyes.


    The domain of Gods. Even Zhao Feng was slightly moved.


    "Fine, this is your choice. I will help you." Zhao Feng agreed. In reality, he thought even more about it than Nan Gongsheng. If he followed Nan Gongsheng''s summoning, he might be able to find out some secrets about the domain of Gods in the depths of Xie Yang Palace.


    Outside Xie Yang Palace:


    "Zeze, this has become more interesting."


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon twirled in the air and started to murmur to itself; "The domain of Gods isn''t something these ants can think about. However, of those two brats, one merged with the Evil God Crystal, and the other one revived a Demigod. They aren''t to be underestimated¡­."

 840 Baffling

    Chapter 840 - Baffling


    Zhao Feng and the newly-advanced Nan Gongsheng consolidated their foundations for another half a day before venturing toward the depths of Xie Yang Palace.


    Because they used three days to break through, they might be a bit behind the other geniuses and elites.


    Shua! Shua!


    A layer of powerful silver and purple covered the duo as they moved through the air with stunning speed.


    The duo encountered many temptations along the way. Many normal things within the God''s palace were rare in the outside world. Some items were things that they could only dream of.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng didn''t dare to stay for any of the normal treasures though. The duo would only take the most valuable treasures.


    Half a day later, the duo entered the depths of Xie Yang Palace. A large group of magnificent buildings came into sight. They were connected by walkways or bridges, and most of them were darkly colored. Dark purple and dark red made up the majority. At the very center of these buildings was a purple crystal tower that shot up into the sky; it was formed from countless purple jade stones.


    A tremendous pressure could be felt from the purple crystal tower even from far away. The True Yuan of some of the outsiders nearby started to tremble. They didn''t dare to resist against the purple crystal tower or else the pressure would increase.


    Wah!


    A handsome male in armor spat out a mouthful of blood as his face turned white.


    "Young Sir Qi, don''t resist the force of the purple crystal tower!" a bearded elder nearby exclaimed.


    The handsome male in armor and the elder had both reached the Void God Realm. The former was a Domain-level King. This group came from Grand Duke Qi''s Palace, which was located in one of the eighteen provinces of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "That purple crystal tower is probably related to the core of Xie Yang Palace. Each of the purple crystal stones that make it up are at least comparable to a substandard God Crystal." The bearded was stunned.


    This elder was a half-step King from Grand Duke Qi''s Palace, but after entering the Divine Illusion Dimension, and Xie Yang Palace in particular, he finally managed to break through to the Void God Realm.


    Most of the elites that entered the Divine Illusion Dimension had made a breakthrough of some sort. After all, those that could enter were elites of the older generation and peerless geniuses of the younger generation.


    "We''re already behind Sky Suspension Palace and the imperials."


    Young Sir Qi drank a drop of precious liquid that he had obtained in Xie Yang Palace, and his injuries started to quickly heal. His skin even became smoother than before.


    The elites of Grand Duke Qi''s Palace reorganized themselves before carefully scouting further.


    All of the forces in Xie Yang Palace had met some kind of danger. Although these dangers were probably very normal for Xie Yang Palace, they were very deadly for the outsiders. For example, the poisonous tip of a plant or a random dirty puddle of water in the ground could kill half-step Kings and even true Kings. Therefore, all of the forces were wary and cautious as they advanced.


    Sou! Sou!


    Right at this moment, two figures covered in purple and silver light reached the depths of the palace.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!" Those from Grand Duke Qi''s Palace roared as they revealed looks of hatred and panic.


    Killing intent instantly appeared on Young Sir Qi''s and the bearded elder''s faces as they radiated Magnificent Power and charged over.


    "Thieves, where do you think you''re going~~~~!?" the armor-clad Young Sir Qi roared as he took the lead with hatred and anger.


    Shua!


    With a flash of silver and purple, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng landed on a pavilion with puzzled expressions.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, you plundered and ambushed Grand Duke Qi''s Palace and killed two of our disciples! How will you pay for that?" the bearded elder said in a deep tone.


    "Plunder? Ambush?" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other in confusion.


    Although they had stolen from many forces, they didn''t recall plundering from Grand Duke Qi''s Palace, and after entering Xie Yang Palace, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng hadn''t stolen anything from anyone. No matter how strong they were, they didn''t want to offend every single force here.


    At this moment, the male in armor and the bearded elder charged over from two sides.


    "Dazzling Sky Star!" The male in armor thrust out the spear he was holding, and stars seemed to explode in the sky. A bone-chilling aura filled the air.


    This simple thrust contained a cold and heavy spatial power. In terms of strength, this Young Sir Qi in armor was close to Jiu Wuji. He had become a lot stronger in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "Petty tricks!" A purple-haired youth in black clashed against Young Sir Qi with a bright flash of purple and silver. A nearly-materialized purple-and-silver spatial domain formed and released a wicked power that could change the expressions of even Emperors.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The two figures and spatial dimensions clashed in the air.


    "Not good!" Young Sir Qi exclaimed as his thrust was engulfed by a wicked power. Purple-and-silver spatial blade slashed over.


    Weng~~ Ding! Ding! Ding!


    Young Sir Qi was forced to retreat as the starry light around him faded in color. Scratches were also left behind on his armor. If it wasn''t for the almost-Heaven-grade armor protecting him, he would''ve lost a layer of skin, if he survived at all.


    At the same time, the fight between Zhao Feng and the bearded elder came to an end as well.


    "Fuck off!" Zhao Feng threw a simple punch and unleashed a brilliant golden-blue beam that glittered with arcs of lightning.


    Boom!


    A heavy feeling filled the air, as if there was a large mountain descending.


    "Arghh!" The bearded elder that only recently reached the Void God Realm screamed as his Magnificent Power was shattered, and he fell like a broken kite. His entire body was scorched black.


    In just one punch, Zhao Feng severely injured the bearded elder with his Sacred Lightning Body alone.


    Sii!


    The arriving half-step Kings from Grand Duke Qi''s Palace took in cold breaths as their faces went white.


    In just one exchange, Young Sir Qi and the bearded elder were defeated. In particular, the Void God Realm bearded elder was injured by a Great Origin Core Realm purple-haired youth.


    "Grand Duke Qi''s Palace, if you don''t give us a good explanation, don''t even think about leaving here alive," Nan Gongsheng snickered coldly.


    The duo was baffled by the actions of Grand Duke Qi''s Palace.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, there''s a huge danger in front of us and we''re all on the same boat, but you two haven''t changed and are still attacking humans¡­." the bearded elder sat up from the ground and said in a sad tone.


    "Attack? When did we attack?" Nan Gongsheng questioned.


    Zhao Feng stood on the side with furrowed eyebrows as he started to think.


    "Don''t try to trick us!"


    "Two days ago, when we were trying to obtain the Sky Dew Water, you two ambushed us!"


    "It was you two thieves! I''d be able to recognize you even if you turned into dust."


    Those from Grand Duke Qi''s Palace were enraged. They were all sure that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had attacked them.


    "Hmph, Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, you didn''t just attack one or two forces."


    "We''ll get rid of you two once everyone arrives!"


    These people were angry and full of hatred, but they didn''t dare attack.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, die~~~~!" Nearly ten figures appeared on a walkway not far away. The leaders were two Kings; one was a youth wearing black robes and another was a charming beauty with blue hair.


    "It''s the Jiang Family!"


    "It''s Jiang Chen and the number one beauty of the Jiang Family, Jiang Feixue!"


    Those from Grand Duke Qi''s Palace revealed joyful expressions.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had fought with the Jiang Family before, so it could be said that they were familiar with each another. However, the number one beauty that Zhao Feng had stolen from was now a King.


    When their original plan failed, the Jiang Family decided to give up on killing the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo. After all, everyone was threatened by the Black Destruction Serpent Destruction, so they were all on the same boat now.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!" The blue-haired Jiang Feixue bit her lips. "You took my Water Mother Essence before, and you ambushed the Jiang Family after coming into Xie Yang Palace, killing and crippling two of them and stealing the Five Mystic Heavy Water we finally managed to obtain."


    "Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, we''re going to get rid of you bastards before we deal with the danger of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon." Jiang Chen flew in from the other side and pincer attacked the duo.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were still baffled. The two hadn''t caused any trouble after entering Xie Yang Palace. After all, everyone had been threatened by the Black Serpent Dragon, and Zhao Feng still knew the importance of the greater good.


    "We''ll retreat for now." Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng both sensed something.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The duo quickly retreated under a layer of silver and purple.


    "Get back here!" Jiang Chen, Jiang Feixue, and the armored Young Sir Qi tried to stop them.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    A wicked purple-silver light filled the air. At the same time, a dominating physical force crushed down like Mount Tai and made everyone''s blood toss and turn.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The three Kings were all pushed back. Blood dripped out from Jiang Feixue''s mouth ¨C she had only just reached the Void God Realm ¨C and her face turned pale-white.


    "The strength of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo is becoming greater and greater¡­."


    The two forces were stunned.


    "It seems like that demonic duo was holding back earlier¡­." The severely-injured bearded elder''s eyes twinkled as his expression became solemn.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A while later, ten or twenty figures flew over from an opposite building.


    "Sky Suspension Palace!" Those from the Jiang Family and Grand Duke Qi''s Palace were filled with joy, but these reinforcements were one step too late. The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had already disappeared like ghosts.


    "We''re too late¡­ the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo seems to have sensed us and left early."


    The three King geniuses from Sky Suspension Palace ¨C Xuanyuan Wen, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, and the female in apricot robes ¨C walked up. The eyes of these three Kings were all cold.


    "Hmph, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo seems to think they''ve lived too long. Even though they didn''t succeed, they even dared to ambush Sky Suspension Palace." The apricot-robed female''s face was cold.


    "Don''t worry, I will kill that demonic duo myself." Killing intent and anger appeared on Xuanyuan Wen''s elegant face for the first time. A divine light seemed to shoot out of his eyes, and it had the ability to slice through space and cut through all Intents.


    "Emperor Intent!"


    "This Intent seems to be stronger than normal Emperor Intent¡­."


    The expressions of those from the Jiang family and Grand Duke Qi''s Palace were filled with shock, while those from Sky Suspension Palace weren''t surprised.


    "If it wasn''t for the fact that Junior Martial Brother Xuanyuan decided to suppress himself, he would''ve become an Emperor before he entered the Divine Illusion Dimension," Senior Martial Brother Zhuge said calmly, and those from the Jiang Family and Grand Duke Qi''s Palace revealed joyful expressions.


    With Xuanyuan Wen being so strong, it would be extremely simple to deal with the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.

 841 Fake Demonic Duo

    Chapter 841 - Fake Demonic Duo


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A layer of purple and silver took Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng throughout the bridges, walkways, and other paths in the depths of Xie Yang Palace. The power of Nan Gongsheng''s current spatial abilities couldn''t be compared to the past; he was like a fish in water in this complex landscape.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng sensed something, and his expression changed dramatically. A powerful Intent that seemed like it could slash through anything in its path appeared at the location where they just fought moments ago. The aura of this Intent had reached perfection.


    "Emperor Intent!" Nan Gongsheng slowed down a bit as shock filled his face.


    The duo exchanged glances, and Zhao Feng soon calmed down as he murmured to himself, "As expected of a peerless prodigy from a four-star power¡­."


    "Xuanyuan Wen? He''s also formed Emperor Intent?" Nan Gongsheng couldn''t hide the shock on his face.


    Xuanyuan Wen was only ranked 7th on the Imperial Genius rankings. If he was already so powerful, it was hard to imagine how terrifying the top three would be. Of course, if all the geniuses who entered the Divine Illusion Dimension were able to leave safely, the Imperial Genius rankings would change quite a bit.


    "It''s not just Emperor Intent ¨C he''s become an Emperor already." Zhao Feng sighed.


    When they had gathered at the dragon-shaped crater, Zhao Feng inspected Xuanyuan Wen and found that his aura was incredibly close to an Emperor''s, and that was with him purposely concealing it.


    Void God Realm Emperor! Nan Gongsheng was somewhat unable to accept it. A twenty-something Emperor was unimaginable in the Cang Ocean.


    Even the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor at his peak had only reached the middle stages of the Void God Realm. He had formed peak Emperor Intent, but that didn''t mean that he had become an actual Emperor.


    "Retreat under my directions," Zhao Feng said in a deep tone.


    He could feel a powerful aura approaching and tracking them. Zhao Feng didn''t want to fight with an Emperor right now. No one would be willing if they couldn''t get anything out of it, and Zhao Feng still needed to find out why so many forces hated them and wanted to kill them.


    "Who is pretending to be us?" A cold light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes. This was the first time anger had appeared on his face since he entered the Divine Illusion Dimension. The Jiang Family and Grand Duke Qi''s Palace didn''t seem to be acting.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The purple-and-silver light''s speed reached another level.


    Bam! Bam! Whoosh!


    On the way, Zhao Feng circulated his physical force and Soul Dao techniques to clear some of their remnant auras.


    Zhao Feng knew a bit about tracking due to the Pursuit of Death. He was constantly being chased, and then he was the one chasing someone else. Not only did he get rid of their auras, he even created some fake auras.


    About the time it took to make tea later, the powerful Emperor aura from behind had disappeared. Nan Gongsheng let out a breath. His partner was indeed worthy of being the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor who stunned the Cang Ocean; they were able to throw off Xuanyuan Wen so easily.


    "The current situation is very bad for us. Almost all of the forces that have entered Xie Yang Palace are now our enemies." Zhao Feng''s expression was solemn and showed no signs of being smug.


    Thinking about it, Nan Gongsheng''s scalp tingled. Every three-star and four-star force in Xie Yang Palace was against them.


    "Who dares to pretend to be us? What benefits do they get when we''re all still threatened by the Black Serpent Dragon?" Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but think.


    Zhao Feng first thought of Jiu Wuji from Nine Darkness Palace, but the enmity between them was only about face and a few treasures. It hadn''t reached a stage where one side must die. After all, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was their true enemy.


    "According to logic, no one should have a motive to do this." Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled.


    Nan Gongsheng nodded his head. Even the non-human experts didn''t have a motive to do this since internal conflict was no good to anyone at the moment. Only by working together did everyone have a chance of survival against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "I might know the answer¡­." Zhao Feng didn''t speak since any communication would be sensed by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, but his gaze told Nan Gongsheng some information.


    Nan Gongsheng started to think.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The duo landed near a bridge, and there was a green lake below where fish were playing around.


    Right at this moment, a group walked over from a building not far away.


    "I don''t believe Brother Feng would do this¡­!" The cold voice of a female sounded from the group. Her voice was extremely decisive.


    "Zhao Yufei, we all saw it. The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo ambushed us from behind and crippled two disciples of the Duanmu Family. One of them was my brother!" A male in black robes said angrily. Magnificent Power glowed from his body as his emotions boiled. He seemed to have just become a King not long ago.


    "Yufei, Duanmu Yu, no matter what happened, we shall not fight amongst ourselves," the elder in green robes said.


    This group was from the Duanmu Family, one of the Eight Big Families. In comparison to before they entered the Divine Illusion Dimension, the Duanmu Family had one more King, but the person with the strongest aura was still the goddess-like Zhao Yufei. Her aura was close to a Peak-tier King.


    "Yufei¡­."


    Under the bridge, Zhao Feng''s expression became grim. He couldn''t stand this any longer. He didn''t think that the fake Purple-Haired Demonic Duo would even ambush the Duanmu Family.


    Ceng!


    With a flash, Zhao Feng appeared in front of the group from the Duanmu Family with wild purple hair blowing in the wind.


    "Zhao Feng!" Nan Gongsheng''s expression changed slightly. He didn''t think that Zhao Feng would reveal himself, but he quickly followed behind.


    One had to know that the Duanmu Family had three Kings, and Zhao Yufei''s strength was immeasurable. Furthermore, all of the forces could communicate with each other in the depths of Xie Yang Palace.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!" Those from the Duanmu Family were filled with anger and killing intent. These two were far too arrogant; not only did they just ambush them not long ago, they were now coming out right in front of them?


    The green robed elder''s first thought was to stall the duo and ask Sky Suspension Palace, the imperials, and the other forces for help.


    "Yufei." Zhao Feng slowly sent out a palm toward the group from the Duanmu Family.


    The bodies of everyone from the Duanmu Family shook, and their consciousnesses became chaotic. Everything started to blur as they arrived in a misty city of illusions. Most people were unable to properly control their bodies, and their senses were muddled.


    Even an older King like the elder in green robes could only barely manage to form a defensive barrier, but the messages he tried to send through the soul-dimension were like stones sinking into the ocean.


    In just one palm, everyone from the Duanmu Family fell into Zhao Feng''s Illusion Maze Domain.


    "What a profound method." Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but admire.


    Only Zhao Yufei wasn''t affected by the Illusion Maze Domain. Her face was filled with surprise as she glanced at the elites of the Duanmu Family walking around in circles.


    "You''re the real Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei said confidently as joy appeared on her face. The purple-haired youth in front of her had one hand raised in the air as he used the Illusion Maze Domain to envelop everyone from the Duanmu Family.


    "Yufei, the fake Purple-Haired Demonic Duo also ambushed the Duanmu Family?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "En, they look exactly the same as you two," Zhao Yufei nodded and said. When she heard the word "fake," she let out a breath.


    "Can you recreate what happened¡­?" Zhao Feng paused.


    When one reached the Void God Realm, their souls would become extremely strong, and they would be able to recreate something from their memories.


    "En." Zhao Yufei waved her hand, and a purple screen appeared in the air.


    Weng~~


    Images appeared on the purple screen. At the beginning, the Duanmu Family was fighting against a wave of vines, and there were several fruits on the vines. These vines were extremely troublesome, and Zhao Yufei was the main force against it. However, just as they were about to take the fruits:


    Shua!


    With a flash of purple and silver, two purple-haired figures leapt out.


    "How is that possible!?" Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s expressions changed dramatically ¨C the duo people in the image were the exact same as Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng. They were extremely fast, and their figures and skills were similar to the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    The duo then ambushed them and stole the precious fruits, and they succeeded because Zhao Yufei had to deal with the vines.


    "Brother Feng¡­!" Zhao Yufei revealed a painful expression of disbelief as she watched the "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo" fly away.


    Whoosh!


    A layer of purple and silver light covered the two purple-haired figures as they merged into space and disappeared.


    "So fast! Could one of them specialize in spatial techniques as well?" Nan Gongsheng was shocked.


    One couldn''t tell the real Purple-Haired Demonic Duo from the fake from images alone, especially given how they managed to fade into space.


    "It''s hard to believe¡­." Zhao Feng murmured.


    There were countless unique and special people amongst the geniuses that entered the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    They were able to analyze three powers that the fake duo had:


    One, a strong copying ability.


    Two, spatial techniques similar to Nan Gongsheng''s.


    Three, a secret technique that could allow them to merge with their surroundings, which might be related to the first or second ability.


    "Yufei, did you notice any suspicious points?"


    Zhao Yufei thought for a while before answering, "Based on what happened to the other forces, the fake duo only appeared at the critical moment before stealing from them."


    "Critical moment?" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other and felt incredulous. When they had stolen from others before, it was extremely hard to grasp the right timing every time.


    "I understand." The answer in Zhao Feng''s heart was becoming clearer and clearer, and it was just waiting to burst out.


    Right at this moment, another group started to come into sight.


    "Yufei, we''ll meet later." Zhao Feng suddenly released his hand''s gesture.


    Plop! Plop!


    Many of the Duanmu Family elites knelt on the ground or became unstable.


    Whoosh!


    Only then did the elder in green and company leave the Illusion Maze Domain.


    "Where did the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo go?" Everyone let out a breath, but they were puzzled.


    Only the elder in green and the male in black had shocked expressions. They caught a glimpse of a purple-and-silver streak merge into the buildings of Xie Yang Palace.

 842 Oversee

    Chapter 842 - Oversee


    Outside Xie Yang Palace, the enormous black-scaled body of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon twirled in the air. It occasionally smashed its claw toward the God''s Forbidden Array and caused hundreds and thousands of purple-and-blood-colored beams of light to shoot out.


    "Zezeze, the game''s only just begun, and my chess pieces have already come into play¡­." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a playful expression.


    It could feel and control the situation and movements of everyone within Xie Yang Palace through the Mark of Destruction. It was like an outsider watching a battle in a cage.


    At the same moment, in a certain corner of Xie Yang Palace, two purple-haired figures hid in a large tree in a courtyard.


    "The next target to ambush is Sky Sword Pavilion."


    "The Little Sword Saint of Sky Sword Pavilion isn''t simple. We need to be more careful this time."


    The appearances of these two purple-haired figures were exactly the same as Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    A cold voice that seemed to gaze down on every living being sounded in the ears of the duo, "Be careful. The true Purple-Haired Demonic Duo may have guessed your identities already."


    "Understood, Lord Black Serpent Dragon."


    The two purple-haired figures had respectful expressions.


    At this moment, a group from Sky Sword Pavilion walked into a six-sided metallic building.


    The six-sided building was made from a dark red metallic material that gave off a fiery-hot aura before they even got close.


    "Building of Refinement." A white-mustached man from Sky Sword Pavilion read the three words on the building with glittering eyes.


    Hearing those words, the hearts of several geniuses shook.


    "I can feel the summoning of a divine sword¡­." The Little Sword Saint seemed to have entered a mystic state of the Sword Dao.


    Hu~~


    His white mustache and white hair suddenly blew in the wind as a surge of divine Sword Intent shot out from his eyes.


    "Who''s there!?" The Little Sword Saint turned instantly turned around, and a half-transparent streak of dazzling five-colored sword-light pierced toward a large three behind him. This attack travelled through both the physical and mental energy dimensions.


    "Argh!"


    "What a terrifying sword attack!"


    The hearts of the two purple-haired figures in the tree shook. In that instant, the sharp expression of the Little Sword Saint seemed to enlarge, and the sword-beams that covered the sky made the duo panic.


    Sii!


    The two purple-haired figures groaned as they turned into a streak of purple-and-silver light and sped into a garden in the distance.


    "Senior Sword Saint, those two seem to be the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo," a youth in black that seemed to have just broken through said respectfully.


    The power of the Sword Dao that the Little Sword Saint unleashed just now was terrifying, and his Sword Intent could travel through both the physical and mental energy dimensions.


    "Hmph, they''re just two non-human brats. I don''t want to waste my energy on them." The Little Sword Saint snickered coldly and led the group from Sky Sword Pavilion toward the six-sided metallic building known as the Building of Refinement.


    There were black metallic doors at the front and back of the six-sided building.


    "This Building of Refinement definitely contains a peerless weapon. If we get it, we may be able to fight against the Black Serpent Dragon," the Little Sword Saint said in a deep tone, and the elites of Sky Sword Pavilion started to inspect the place.


    A while later:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Another group landed in front of the Building of Refinement, and their force was stronger than Sky Sword Pavilion.


    "Great Gan imperials!" A sword-light seemed to flash through the eyes of the cold female sword cultivator from Sky Sword Pavilion.


    Indeed, the figures of the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and company came into sight.


    "My Sacred Emperor''s Sword sensed a powerful Sword Intent here¡­." The Thirteenth Prince''s eyebrows rose as he inspected the six-sided metallic building.


    Zhi! Zhi!


    The Spiritual Connection Rat on Luo Zun''s shoulder gave off excited sounds.


    Looks like this Building of Refinement definitely contains an important treasure of the Sword Dao, the Eighth Prince thought.


    The Great Gan imperials also started to inspect the Building of Refinement, and an imperial blacksmith master found that there was a flaw in the God''s Forbidden Array around it.


    "Indeed, if the God''s Forbidden Array was complete, we wouldn''t have been able to sense the aura of the treasures within." The blacksmith master had a smile on his face.


    In a corner of a faraway garden.


    "That old man is terrifying¡­!" Two purple-haired figures looked at each other as solemnness filled their faces.


    Shua! Shua!


    With a flash, the two purple-haired figures turned into two non-human males. One of them was covered in blue scales and had blue horns, similar to the serpent dragon race. The other non-human male had a pair of earthen-yellow horns and a pair of beady green eyes. He was made up of green muscle.


    "That old man is most likely the strongest and scariest of everyone who entered from the outside world," the Blue Serpent King said in a wary tone.


    "He''s terrifying." The beady green-eyed non-human male hadn''t fully recovered yet. "Even Void God Realm Emperors might not be his match. Even the ability of my Thousand Changes Dragon bloodline didn''t escape his eyes."


    "There''s no need to rush. The Little Sword Saint has weaknesses as well. He used to be a peak Emperor that had a chance to break through to the Mystic Light Realm, but now that he''s reached the end of his lifespan, his lifeforce and soul are withering, and his cultivation has dropped. Any powerful move will use up his lifeforce and soul-strength," Wei Jing said.


    Wei Jing had heard stories about the white-mustached Little Sword Saint. It was definitely a miracle; when the Little Sword Saint just started cultivating, his talent was extremely normal, and it could even be considered trash. However, his comprehension of the Sword Dao reached a terrifying stage, and he managed to become an Emperor after countless years of effort.


    However, after a huge battle where he ended up killing a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord, the Little Sword Saint''s lifeforce and soul started to wither. The Little Sword Saint was relying on his powerful Sword Dao Intent and various treasures to slow the rate of his withering lifeforce and soul, but if he wasn''t able to find any heaven-defying treasures in the Divine Illusion Dimension, the Little Sword Saint wouldn''t be able to live more than three years.


    "The Building of Refinement may contain a not-bad divine weapon or treasure. You two shouldn''t miss this opportunity¡­." the Black Serpent Dragon''s voice suddenly sounded in their minds.


    Divine weapon or treasure. Wei Jing and Green Beady Eyes looked at each other and felt their heart-rates speed up. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a rather high standard, so "not bad" definitely wouldn''t be something simple.


    The Black Serpent Dragon''s suggestion made the two, who were about to leave, stay behind.


    "We''ll have a chance to sneak in when there''s more people. As long as the Little Sword Saint doesn''t use his Sword Intent against us, then no one should be able to see through us."


    Green Beady Eyes nodded his head.


    With the help of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, the two non-humans were like fish in water inside Xie Yang Palace.


    However, right as the duo was making their plans, a shocking scene appeared.


    "That''s¡­!!!?"


    Green Beady Eyes raised his eyes and looked into the sky. At the same time, the members from Sky Sword Pavilion and the imperials in front of the six-sided metallic building all looked up as if they had sensed something.


    A transparent purple Eye of Heaven appeared in the sky and gazed down coldly as if it was the Heavenly Dao itself.


    "Hmm?" The Little Sword Saint''s heart shook as he looked at the Eye of Heaven. He wasn''t able to see through the Eye of Heaven even with his Sword Intent.


    "That eye¡­" The Eighth Prince felt that this eye was familiar.


    Zhi! Zhi!


    The Spiritual Connection Rat on Luo Zun''s shoulder started to tremble in fear as the Eye of Heaven gazed down.


    In front of the six-sided building, all of the geniuses and elites were silent. The Eye of Heaven gazed down with undefiable mental energy pressure. Even the Little Sword Saint felt pressured.


    In the faraway garden:


    "What kind of existence is that?"


    Wei Jing and Green Beady Eyes felt a coldness and pressure from the Eye of Heaven, and their hairs stood up on end. It was as if the Eye of Heaven was looking right at them.


    Shua!


    A multi-colored light flashed around Green Beady Eyes. The next instant, Green Beady Eyes and Wei Jing disappeared. A couple breaths later, the duo pretended to be two small trees that hid in the garden.


    "Hmph!" A cold voice sounded next to their ears alongside a burst of mental energy.


    Cold sweat appeared on Wei Jing''s and Green Beady Eyes'' foreheads.


    Shua!


    Luckily for them, the Eye of Heaven only paused for a few moments, as if it was only looking down from above.


    "Lord Black Serpent Dragon, that eye¡­ what¡­?" Green Beady Eyes couldn''t help but ask as his hairs stood up. Although the Eye of Heaven looked like it had no offensive abilities, it gave the duo a dangerous feeling.


    "Ant, you''re courting death~~~~!" The angry roar of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon sounded next to their ears. Wei Jing and Green Beady Eyes felt their blood shake.


    Elsewhere in Xie Yang Palace, next to the God''s Forbidden Array:


    Shua!


    A transparent purple Eye of Heaven faced the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, only separated by the God''s Forbidden Array.


    "Mental Energy Spike!"


    A purple spike shot out from the Eye of Heaven and stabbed into the Black Serpent Dragon''s soul.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was unharmed, but it became enraged. A measly ant dared to attack a majestic being from the Destruction Dragon Race?


    Boom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon smashed its claw forward, but it was blocked by the God''s Forbidden Array.


    The God''s Forbidden Array was extremely unique; attacks from outside would be blocked, but attacks from within wouldn''t be affected.


    "Void Space Eye Slash!"


    A two-yard-long blade with the immortal and undying aura of God Tribulation Lightning sliced through the Black Serpent Dragon''s head.


    Shu~~


    A faint mark that drew blood appeared on the skin of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s head, but it instantly healed.


    Roar~~~~~


    The Black Serpent Dragon clashed its enormous body against the God''s Forbidden Array, and its roar alerted all the geniuses and elites with a Mark of Destruction within Xie Yang Palace.


    Since the connection between Wei Jing and Green Beady Eyes was extremely tight with the Black Serpent Dragon, their blood tossed and turned, and they almost coughed out blood.


    Shua!


    The Eye of Heaven only stayed within Xie Yang Palace for a couple breaths and unleashed a few attacks before quickly disappearing.


    "As expected, the body of a Destruction Dragon¡­"


    Within an underground cellar in the depths of Xie Yang Palace, Zhao Feng slowly opened his eyes.


    "What happened just now?" Nan Gongsheng heard the Black Serpent Dragon''s roar from the Mark of Destruction in his body, as well as a burning sensation. He didn''t know that Zhao Feng just used the Eye of Heaven to gaze over and the entire Xie Yang Palace and attack the Black Serpent Dragon to test its abilities.

 843 Resolving the Mark

    Chapter 843 - Resolving the Mark


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had used the Eye of Heaven in several years. The reason he did so now wasn''t to show off his strength to the other forces or challenge the unrivalled Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. He only had one goal, and that was to oversee the situation of the entire Xie Yang Palace.


    The appearance of the fake Purple-Haired Demonic Duo made the other forces shun him, and the Black Serpent Dragon outside Xie Yang Palace secretly controlling people made Zhao Feng feel like he was losing control of the situation.


    They all had an enemy right in front of them, but fortune existed alongside danger. He didn''t want to lose control right now. With the Eye of Heaven, Zhao Feng could oversee the entire Xie Yang Palace and control the changing tide.


    As he guessed, the fake Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was being controlled by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. If they didn''t have the pointers given by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, how was the fake Purple-Haired Demonic Duo able to appear at the critical moment and escape successfully every time? Apart from Zhao Feng''s Eye of Heaven, only the Black Serpent Dragon had such ability.


    The Black Serpent Dragon could monitor the situation within Xie Yang Palace through the Mark of Destruction in everyone''s body. The difference from Zhao Feng was that the Black Serpent Dragon couldn''t join in personally at the moment, so it needed the Blue Serpent King and Green Beady Eyes to do its bidding.


    Roar~~ Wu~~~ Bam! Boom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s furious attacks outside Xie Yang Palace increased in frequency.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon should be able to charge in after a bit more than twenty days¡­." Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled.


    The Black Serpent Dragon probably wanted these outsiders to act as the front line. After all, it was still extremely wary of the Ancient God Xie Yang, and Xie Yang Palace probably still had a lot of hidden dangers.


    "What happened just now?" In the underground cellar, Nan Gongsheng looked at Zhao Feng. At this moment, he discovered that Zhao Feng had a confident expression, as if he could control the entire palace''s situation. It wasn''t hard for Nan Gongsheng to guess that what happened just now was related to Zhao Feng.


    "We should get rid of some little trouble before we act," Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    "You mean¡­ the Mark of Destruction?" Nan Gongsheng immediately understood.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and sat down.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng started to try to get rid of the Mark of Destruction.


    "This is just a simplified version of the actual Mark of Destruction, and it only contains a wisp of aura from the Destruction Dragon bloodline. Nan Gongsheng, try using your spatial abilities and the Evil God Crystal to devour it¡­." Zhao Feng said as he tried to resolve the Mark of Destruction.


    The Mark of Destruction contained the powerful laws of Destruction, but luckily, Zhao Feng knew a bit about those from cultivating Destruction Wind Lightning in his previous life. The laws of Destruction from the Destruction Dragon Race concerned the origin of the world itself.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng circulated his Water of Wind Lightning and took out a Green Water Sky Lotus, which had purification abilities. In the depths of his body, wisps of scarlet-black aura had merged into his flesh and bones, and it was even eroding his soul.


    Zhao Feng tried to move the scarlet-black aura, but nothing happened.


    Outside Xie Yang Palace:


    "Ignorant brat! Even though it''s just a simplified version of the Mark of Destruction, anyone weaker than a Demigod can''t do anything to get rid of it." The Black Serpent Dragon paused his attacks for a moment as mockery appeared on its face. However, its expression changed dramatically the next moment.


    "How is that possible¡­!?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly felt one of his marks was becoming weaker ¨C the mark from one of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, Zhao Feng.


    Weng~~


    Several hundred wisps of God Tribulation Lightning in Zhao Feng''s purple Soul Sea started to glow and radiate a power that could scare both gods and ghosts alike. The Water of Wind Lightning merged into the God Tribulation Lightning and started to cleanse and purify the scarlet-black aura.


    "Luckily, I''ve recovered part of my Emperor Intent¡­."


    Zhao Feng could now control part of the God Tribulation Lightning in his body, and with his previous life''s experience, he used it just like how a fish swam in the ocean.


    The lightning could easily merge into his flesh, body, and even his bloodline, so it was relatively easy for it to cleanse him. However, the power of the Mark of Destruction concerned the most original laws of Destruction, so even the God Tribulation Lightning couldn''t completely gain an advantage.


    Zhao Feng''s main advantage was that this was his body while the Mark of Destruction would have no reinforcements.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng managed to force the Mark of Destruction into a corner, and he used the Water of Wind Lightning ¨C which had the God Tribulation Lightning merged into it ¨C to seal it and slowly grind it down.


    At this point, he could now also help Nan Gongsheng handle his Mark of Destruction.


    Since Nan Gongsheng was extremely talented in spatial laws and had the power of the Evil God Crystal as well, he could actually threaten the Mark of Destruction to a certain degree. However, he didn''t have the God''s Spiritual Eye, so he couldn''t clearly sense where the Mark of Destruction in his body was.


    Pa!


    One of Zhao Feng''s hands landed on Nan Gongsheng''s shoulder, and his senses instantly changed. He could now feel the Mark of Destruction''s aura very clearly.


    "This type of inspection¡­" Nan Gongsheng was stunned.


    Zhao Feng had shared the senses of his God''s Spiritual Eye with Nan Gongsheng. Nan Gongsheng''s blurry senses toward the Mark of Destruction instantly became hundreds of times clearer.


    He immediately circulated a layer of wicked purple-and-silver light that quickly enveloped the scarlet-black aura and started to devour it.


    Weng~~


    The Evil God Crystal in Nan Gongsheng''s body released a wicked purple glow, and the powerful aura radiating from it made even Zhao Feng find it hard to breathe.


    As expected of a true God Crystal, Zhao Feng thought.


    Most of the God Crystals that appeared in the world were substandard God Crystals, such as the ones used to operate the Spiritual Zone Teleportation Arrays. That said, substandard God Crystals already contained almost infinite power. Zhao Feng''s flaming chariot had a substandard God Crystal, which supplied it with almost infinite energy.


    On the other hand, Nan Gongsheng obtained the Evil God Crystal, which was even more unique. It was a true God Crystal at the very least, and it was apparently formed from the God''s power of an Evil God.


    Nan Gongsheng managed to prevent the aura of the Mark of Destruction from seeping out and started to slowly grind it. However, both Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were unable to get rid of their marks within a short amount of time.


    "I need around a day while Nan Gongsheng needs two," Zhao Feng estimated.


    While he was resolving the Marks of Destruction, Zhao Feng was also paying attention to what was happening within Xie Yang Palace.


    In front of the six-sided metallic Building of Refinement, the forces led by the imperials and Sky Sword Pavilion were trying to break through the God''s Forbidden Array.


    All the places where they had met fortune earlier didn''t even have the God''s Forbidden Array around them since they were all just general items. However, the Building of Refinement was different since it had the God''s Forbidden Array protecting it.


    "Everyone, relax. The God''s Forbidden Array within the palace don''t have much of a counterattacking ability since it''s mainly here to protect the building itself," an imperial array master said.


    Apart from the imperials and Sky Sword Pavilion, there was also the Duanmu Family, the Cao Family, Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, and various other forces gathered in front of the Building of Refinement. These groups all had at least one Void God Realm King.


    Most of the geniuses and elites that had entered Xie Yang Palace had more or less acquired fortune. As of right now, every member had battle-power comparable to a quasi-King or a true King, so they weren''t to be underestimated.


    "I think that we should use an array to break through the array. We can build an array that acts opposite to this array and use it to widen the flaw," the array master smiled and said.


    The forces all sent out their array masters to construct an array in front of the Building of Refinement. Half a day later, a complex and condensed array was successfully built in front of the Building of Refinement.


    Weng~ Bo~ Bo~


    A dark red whirlpool glowed around the Building of Refinement, and the nearby experts all felt a burning sensation. Their mouths became dry, and they were like ants running around on a hot pan. If Void God Realm Kings stayed here for too long, they might be roasted.


    Luckily, the flaw in front of the Building of Refinement was expanding, and the groups took turns in order to sustain the array.


    "We don''t even need a full day to enter the Building of Refinement. If I''m correct, this place should be where the weapons and treasures are repaired in Xie Yang Palace," the array master said with a smile.


    In a garden far away, two purple-haired figures merged into the trees and watched every movement at the Building of Refinement.


    "We''ll choose a good chance to act after the Building of Refinement opens." Expectation appeared on the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing''s face.


    The Building of Refinement hadn''t opened yet, but the aura of treasures could already be felt. The Black Serpent Dragon had said that there might be a valuable treasure contained within the Building of Refinement.


    At the same time, in front of a dark wooden building, the geniuses and elites from Sky Suspension Palace led by Xuanyuan Wen and the other two Kings stood in front of a door.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Mystic Technique¡­ open!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge waved his hand, and a wave of dark green Water runes merged into the door and gave off a golden light.


    Xuanyuan Wen and the female in apricot robes both put a hand on Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s shoulder.


    Zhii~~~


    The door to the dark building was pushed open by Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, and everyone saw a bunch of old books giving off a faint glow of light. These old books floated in the building like stars in space. There were at least a couple dozen thousand books.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Those from Sky Suspension Palace quickly entered the dark room.


    Zhi~~


    Senior Martial Brother Zhuge then carefully closed the door to the book room. However, no one realized that, when the last half-step King stepped into the building, a transparent purple Eye of Heaven appeared in the sky above the book room. A weird light glittered in the Eye of Heaven as it disappeared from the sky.


    Within the underground cellar:


    "I''ve succeeded in resolving it." Zhao Feng suddenly opened his eyes. The scarlet-black aura of the Mark of Destruction in his body had disappeared.


    The God Tribulation Lightning was indeed worthy of being Zhao Feng''s killing move; it even managed to get rid of the simplified Mark of Destruction.


    For the next half a day, Zhao Feng helped Nan Gongsheng resolve the Mark of Destruction in his body.


    An hour later, in front of the Building of Refinement:


    "Success!"


    The dark red glow on the surface of the six-sided tower dimmed, especially near the area at the front entrance.


    Crack! Boom!


    The black metallic door was slowly pushed open by an invisible force, and the five-colored array in front of the Building of Refinement shattered.


    Bam! Bam!


    At the moment the metallic door opened, a terrifying wave of hot air shot out. One could see a half-transparent dark red wind blow across some experts near the doorway.


    "Arghhh!"


    Screams sounded in front of the Building of Refinement. Some geniuses and elites that didn''t react in time were incinerated.

 844 Rusty Sword

    Chapter 844 - Rusty Sword


    "Arghhh!"


    The wave of hot air blasted out from the Building of Refinement''s door, and screams sounded as four or five geniuses were turned into a pile of ashes. There was more than a dozen half-step Kings and Kings that were injured as well.


    An imperial genius that had just become a King was hit by the wave of hot air head-on, and his scorched body lay in front of the door.


    In front of the Building of Refinement''s black metallic door, the imperials, Sky Sword Pavilion, Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, and company were dumbfounded.


    Sii!


    Some of the experts that managed to escape all took in a cold breath. Over 90% of the geniuses and elites here would be killed if the wave of air hit them head-on.


    One could only say that those near the door were unlucky. Many times, winners weren''t necessarily the strongest, but the luckiest.


    "It''s my fault. The Building of Refinement hasn''t been opened for a very long time, and the fire in the furnace was never extinguished. Since the heat couldn''t be released, it accumulated, which caused a wave of hot air to blast out when the door opened¡­."


    Guilt was written all over the face of the imperial array master. His face and clothes were black as well. If it weren''t for the Eighth Prince and the wrinkled elder protecting him at the critical moment, he wouldn''t have been able to survive.


    A while later, the heat from the Building of Refinement was no longer as strong, but it was still hot. No one dared to enter the black metallic door yet.


    "We should wait for another half a day for most of the heat to dissipate."


    The handful of array masters present came to an agreement.


    Everyone could see a big furnace within the Building of Refinement, and it gave off a scarlet-red glow of light.


    Although this furnace was called a "furnace," it was better described as a large underground crater, or even a fiery abyss.


    The glow of flames from within the furnace made everyone feel a burning sensation.


    "That furnace is still radiating such a terrifying flame even after being here for so long¡­."


    There were many older elites present, but the flames in the furnace seemed to be everlasting, and no one understood how that was possible.


    "Maybe this is the domain of Gods."


    Excitement and expectation appeared on everyone''s face. Maybe they had reached an important place in Xie Yang Palace.


    Although they had all gained a lot of fortune already, the things that they had obtained were considered very normal in Xie Yang Palace.


    "Everyone, be careful. I can feel a large source of forbidden flames within the furnace. If it explodes, even a Demigod wouldn''t be able to retreat unharmed," the Little Sword Saint said in a deep tone.


    Hearing that, everyone''s heart shook. If even a Demigod wouldn''t be able to retreat unharmed, then¡­ that would be the power of a God.


    As time passed, the heat radiating from the Building of Refinement started to dissipate, and most of it had faded after half a day. At this point in time, the light from within the Building of Refinement was calmer, and one could start to see stones, tattered weapons, and various pieces within.


    Although these items were tattered and broken, the aura they released still shook everyone''s heart.


    Weng~~


    The weapons present all started to shake, including some Inheritance Sacred Weapons. The Sacred Emperor''s Sword in the Thirteenth Prince''s hand started to hum as if it was excited.


    "God Fallen Metal! That''s one of the ancient materials sealed in the forbidden land of the imperials¡­." The Eighth Prince was stunned.


    He recognized that there was God Fallen Metal in front of the furnace, which was extremely rare in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. It only appeared once every couple dozen millennia, and the imperials needed to seal and guard it because even they only had a few pieces.


    This was just one of the random stones present. Materials similar to the God Fallen Metal could be seen everywhere in front of the furnace.


    Of course, the things that truly attracted them were the tattered weapons and pieces on the ground. Some were half-complete, and some were even complete.


    The aura of a peerless weapon came from the depths of the furnace.


    Only the Little Sword Saint, the Ninth Prince, Zhao Yufei, and a small number of others could sense the aura of the complete weapons in the depths of the furnace. However, since these auras had been here for so long, these people didn''t dare to touch anything with their Divine Senses since that might create an unstoppable disaster. After all, this was the Building of Refinement of a God''s palace.


    It wouldn''t be surprising if Heaven-grade divine weapons appeared, and there might even be some legendary Ancient God Weapons.


    "I shall go in first." A sharp glint of light flashed through the Little Sword Saint''s eyes, and Sword Intent that seemed to have surpassed the limits of Life and Death radiated from his body.


    Ceng!


    With a flash, the Little Sword Saint was the first to step into the Building of Refinement.


    The gazes of some geniuses and elites behind were filled with respect. Many knew that the Little Sword Saint was reaching the end of his lifespan and had basically given up on life after entering Xie Yang Palace.


    "Follow him!"


    The forces of Sky Sword Pavilion, the imperials, the Duanmu Family, and company carefully followed the Little Sword Saint.


    Sii!


    Their feet started to burn after entering the Building of Refinement.


    "Arghhh¡­!"


    The high heat made many geniuses jump up and down as they screamed.


    At this moment in time, those that cultivated the Dao of Fire, the Dao of Ice, or the Dao of Water felt a bit better. The elites that cultivated the Dao of Fire were more in harmony with heat while those cultivating the Dao of Ice or the Dao of Water could better resist fire.


    "It''s too hot here."


    Even the Thirteenth Prince felt hot and unable to resist. Although he had become a King after entering Xie Yang Palace, he was of noble birth and never had been in such a situation before.


    "It''s too hot; even Emperors would be roasted after staying here for a long time."


    The half-step Kings started to sweat and become uneasy after entering for only a few breaths.


    Within the Building of Refinement, the closer one got to the center of the fire crater, the higher the heat. At this moment, they only just entered the Building of Refinement, so they were at the edge. They weren''t even close to the actual furnace.


    However, most of the broken weapons and materials were close to the crater.


    Any broken piece or tattered weapon or random material here would cause three-star and four-star forces to fight to the death. The God Fallen Metal that was casually lying on the ground was something that was sealed and hidden away by the Great Gan Imperials.


    However, the most valuable items were the more complete weapons.


    "We''re close¡­." The Little Sword Saint had a smile that seemed to have seen through Life and Death. He was covered by a white sword-light as he walked step by step toward the furnace.


    At this moment in time, the sword aura from the Little Sword Saint made everyone''s heart jump.


    Jiang!


    The hum of a sword that sounded throughout the soul-dimension and across Heaven and Earth came from the depths of the Building of Refinement.


    Everyone''s blood and True Yuan started to shake.


    "What a terrifying sword aura¡­!"


    The sword''s hum froze everyone''s footsteps. They felt as if a cold sword had pierced through their hearts.


    They managed to look over, and they saw a rusty bronze sword stabbed into the ground near the furnace.


    Everyone was stunned and baffled. This rusty-looking sword looked like trash, but if one looked closely, they would realize that the material of this sword was ancient and definitely not simple.


    Jiang!


    The sword that was stabbed into the ground hummed and released a powerful Sword Dao aura that slashed through the air and straight into one''s soul.


    Wah! Wah!


    Some of the geniuses who weren''t strong enough immediately coughed out blood and were injured.


    Plop! Plop!


    Combined with the heat from the Building of Refinement, several half-step Kings fainted.


    "How¡­?"


    The Sacred Emperor''s Sword that the Thirteenth Prince owned started to tremble. The humming from that rusty sword made even the Sacred Emperor''s Sword feel scared and wary.


    "Even Heaven-grade divine weapons aren''t able to scare the Sacred Emperor''s Sword, and that''s just a tattered weapon that''s much weaker."


    The Great Gan Imperials were stunned. The Eighth, Ninth, and Thirteenth Princes all looked at each other in shock. Even though it wasn''t able to use all its strength in the Divine Illusion Dimension, they knew the significance of the Sacred Emperor''s Sword.


    "Ancient God Sword!"


    "That is most likely a tattered Ancient God Weapon!"


    The three Princes came to a shocking conclusion, and this conclusion made them even warier. When a treasure was too precious, it was actually a calamity.


    Ancient God Weapons came from the Atavistic Era, or even the Immemorial Era. Such strength only appeared in legends.


    "A substandard God Weapon appeared several thousand years ago, destroying a three-star force and slaying three Sacred Lords¡­."


    "That substandard God Weapon came from a four-star power¡­ Sky Suspension Palace!"


    Exclamations sounded from the Building of Refinement. However, the rusty bronze sword wasn''t a substandard God weapon ¨C the aura alone scared the Sacred Emperor''s Sword.


    Outside the Building of Refinement:


    "The aura of an Ancient God Weapon!"


    Two purple-haired figures entered the door to the Building of Refinement under a layer of silver and purple.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!"


    Several geniuses and elites that weren''t able to withstand the heat were catching some fresh air outside, and they exclaimed with hatred when they saw the duo.


    However, due to the heat and the aura of the rusty bronze sword, most of the people could barely protect themselves, so no one had the energy or motivation to attack the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo in this situation.


    It could be said that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo came right on time. The Little Sword Saint, who had the strongest battle-power, was fully attracted to the tattered Ancient God sword and couldn''t be distracted.


    "If the Little Sword Saint gains the recognition of the tattered Ancient God sword, he will be unparalleled amongst the outsiders."


    "Although the chance of that is low¡­ we have to consider it."


    The three Great Gan princes were discussing what threat the tattered Ancient God sword might bring, as well as how to get close to the God Fallen Metal and the other materials.


    At the same time, in front of a dark book room on the other side of Xie Yang Palace, those from Sky Suspension Palace were immersed in the ancient books that gave off a starry light.


    "Hmm? The aura of an Ancient God Weapon¡­." Xuanyuan Wen suddenly opened his eyes, and a weird piece of jade on his chest glittered with a pure white light and started to tremble.

 845 Xie Yang Books

    Chapter 845 - Xie Yang Books


    Although Xuanyuan Wen''s heart was moved when he sensed the aura of an Ancient God Weapon, he showed no signs of heading over right away. He first sent this news to Senior Martial Brother Zhuge and the female in apricot robes.


    "Ancient God Weapons surpass our level by far too much. Those destined shall get it, so it doesn''t matter if we''re a bit late." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge held his fan and gave a smile.


    Xuanyuan Wen also faintly nodded his head in agreement. If they were Demigods, they would definitely go straight for the Ancient God Weapon, but a treasure that was too precious was actually a calamity.


    Of course, there was another reason ¨C the dark book room they were in already contained fortune. All the books in the book room floated in the air like stars in the night sky.


    "Each one of these books has reached Heaven-grade, and some have even touched the Heavenly Divine Realm¡­."


    "Hmm? The Ancient God Xie Yang marked this book specifically¡­?"


    The geniuses of Sky Suspension Palace fell into their own little book worlds. Each book contained a world, and the knowledge contained within these books was something that even four-star forces dreamt of.


    "Some of these books are comparable to the secret techniques and core inheritances of Sky Suspension Palace, and some have even surpassed the limits of the continent zone." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge couldn''t help but sigh.


    This book room was actually somewhat open to outsiders, but despite that, the elites of Sky Suspension Palace spent quite a long time to enter.


    "Each book is a world. Don''t be greedy; just choose one or two books," the female in apricot robes warned.


    When skills reached the level of Heaven-grade, each of them was comparable to an entire inheritance, and the information contained within was like the limitless ocean. Therefore, the geniuses and elites only chose one or two books that suited them.


    Absorbing the content of a book was very taxing even for Void God Realm Kings, who could remember everything they read. When information was too large, even using a photographic memory to look at it would use a lot of time.


    There was a silver-armored half-step King youth from Sky Suspension Palace, and a dreamy purple light flashed through his eyes. A purple symbol faintly glowed on the silver-armored youth''s forehead.


    This silver-armored youth was the weakest of the elites from Sky Suspension Palace, and his status was also the lowest. He usually kept silent. He was also the very last person to enter the dark book room.


    At this moment, the silver-armored youth was acting very strangely.


    Shua!


    He quickly took out an ancient book, and a purple glow appeared in his eyes. A couple dozen breaths later, he took out another starry book.


    "Hmm? Holy Wicked Technique? It was written by¡­ Xie Yang?"


    The silver-armored youth paused for a moment. Instead of concentrating on absorbing one or two books like the others, the silver-armored youth had already read dozens of books.


    "Looks like this book room was arranged by the palace''s servants. The Holy Wicked Technique is a simple technique created by the owner, but even then, it can be considered a supreme Wicked Dao technique in the outside world." The silver-armored youth''s eyes twinkled.


    Under normal circumstances, the other geniuses of Sky Suspension Palace would have realized that the silver-armored youth was acting differently. For example, his mental energy aura was several times stronger than usual. However, at this point in time, everyone was focused on the worlds of the books.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The silver-armored youth started to flip through other books after finishing the Holy Wicked Technique. He flipped through a couple dozen books and seemed to be very tired, so he took out some pills from his interspatial ring.


    "Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao." The female in apricot robes saw that the silver-armored youth was acting amiss and warned him, "I suggest you focus on absorbing one or two books that suit you. That will be more helpful."


    "I understand." The silver-armored youth gave an emotionless reply and started to read through more books.


    Time passed by slowly, and when the majority of the Sky Suspension Palace geniuses had finished absorbing their first book, the silver-armored youth had finished over one hundred, and all of them were ones he was interested in.


    When everyone finished absorbing their second book, the silver-armored youth had finished two hundred books. At this moment, the silver-armored youth was extremely tired, so he found a corner, sat down, and ate some spiritual pills.


    "Okay, we''ll be leaving in two hours," Senior Martial Brother Zhuge said. His eyebrows furrowed when his gaze landed on the silver-armored "Deng Chao," but he didn''t say anything.


    Within an underground cellar of Xie Yang Palace:


    "Nan Gongsheng, this Holy Wicked Technique should be a simplified version of Xie Yang''s cultivation technique. Do you think you can cultivate it?"


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes with fatigue.


    "Weird¡­ I managed to learn the Holy Wicked Technique very easily, and now I can use the power of the Evil God Crystal much better than before." Nan Gongsheng was extremely surprised. How did Zhao Feng suddenly have this Holy Wicked Technique?


    "As I thought." Zhao Feng was now sure that the dark book room was semi-open to the public.


    At this moment, there were two hundred Xie Yang books worth of content in Zhao Feng''s mind. Many of these Xie Yang Books would be a top inheritance in a three-star or four-star force. A small number of them were even comparable to the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Technique and the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. An extremely small amount even slightly surpassed them.


    However, for Zhao Feng, the Sacred Lightning Body and the Wind Lightning Technique formed a perfect combination. After all, he already had the foundation of Wind Lightning from his previous life, and he had fused with the power of God Tribulation Lightning, so he had more potential with Lightning techniques. Furthermore, most of the Xie Yang books were techniques and skills of the Wicked Dao, which weren''t suitable for Zhao Feng.


    Although Zhao Feng wouldn''t cultivate these books, they still increased his knowledge and understanding.


    Zhao Feng had a thought after reading so many books; he could try to alter and improve these techniques and create a secret technique that was perfect for himself.


    Elsewhere, in front of the Building of Refinement:


    "Argh, I can''t stand it anymore¡­!"


    Several half-step King geniuses and elites ran out from the black metallic door, and their feet were smoking. There were a few already-resting geniuses in front of the door, and their feet were scorched black. There was also a small number of people that had fainted and were carried out by other elites.


    Apart from a small number of powerful Void God Realm Kings, normal geniuses weren''t able to last very long in the Building of Refinement.


    The competition within the Building of Refinement at this moment in time was very intense. The person at the very front was still the white-mustached Little Sword Saint from Sky Sword Pavilion.


    Weng~~


    The aura of the Little Sword Saint''s sword became stronger until it burned like the sun. His gaze looked forward, and he conquered the heat under his feet as he slowly approached the rusty bronze sword near the furnace.


    He didn''t even look at the broken pieces or weapons or materials scattered around; each step he took toward the rusty bronze sword required unimaginable power from his Sword Dao. Each and every step he took felt like an entire century to him.


    "The remaining Intent and laws on that tattered Ancient God sword might allow me to break through."


    The Little Sword Saint only had this one sword in his heart, while the other Kings focused on the legendary minerals and weapon fragments. It wasn''t that they didn''t want to compete for the Ancient God Weapon, it was just that they weren''t able to.


    Amongst the groups, the "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo" was extremely eye-catching.


    Shua! Whoosh!


    The two purple-haired figures disappeared and reappeared in a corner. Within half a day''s time, the "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo" had gone near the furnace two or three times and obtained many legendary materials and weapon pieces. They were like fish in water.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, die~~~~!" The Thirteenth Prince roared in anger as he pulled out a beaming golden sword and slashed toward the two purple-haired figures. The strike surged with a supreme Imperial power as draconic images shot into the sky.


    After becoming a King, the Sacred Emperor Sword that the Thirteenth Prince wielded was much stronger. Its power was comparable to an Emperor. This sword suppressed all the geniuses and elites present apart from the Little Sword Saint.


    "Watch out!" The expressions of the "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo" changed as they quickly retreated.


    Whoosh!


    The duo disappeared and reappeared in another corner, but there was a bloody mark on one of their bodies, which quickly recovered under an ice-blue glow.


    "Are you okay?"


    "I''m fine. Every time the Sacred Emperor''s Sword is drawn, its power will be suppressed by the Divine Illusion Dimension."


    One of the purple-haired youths let out a breath. If they were in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, the power of the Sacred Emperor''s Sword would be doubled since it wasn''t restricted by anything. In that scenario, almost no one would be able to rival the Thirteenth Prince.


    "What powerful defense!"


    "The demonic duo''s strength has increased even more?"


    The Kings from the Duanmu Family, Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, the Cao Family, and company were all shocked. In the exchange just now, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo managed to retreat even from the imperials, and their method was so stealthy that no one would be able to find them if they retreated.


    "The strength of the demonic duo is increasing very quickly, and they''re still stealing the spoils of war from our Duanmu Family."


    Those from the Duanmu Family gritted their teeth in hatred.


    At this moment, the demonic duo was extremely strong as they ran around the battlefield like ghosts. The physical defense of that purple-haired youth was so strong that even an Emperor-level attack wasn''t able to threaten him.


    "Yufei¡­" The elder in green robes and the male in black turned toward Zhao Yufei. In the clash just now, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo purposely avoided Zhao Yufei.


    "Where do you think you''re going!?" Zhao Yufei roared as she leapt into the air and exchanged a blow with "Zhao Feng."


    Bam!


    Zhao Yufei was pushed back dozens of yards by an extreme coldness and landed on the ground. A layer of frost appeared on her jade-like skin.


    "Yufei, are you okay?"


    The elites of the Duanmu Family quickly protected Zhao Yufei in case the demonic duo kept attacking her.


    "I''m fine¡­ but that isn''t Brother Zhao Feng!" Zhao Yufei''s eyes turned red as she landed on the ground, but she spoke in a confident tone.


    In the exchange just now, she didn''t use her full strength, but the enemy used enough power to try to kill her.

 846 Helping from Afar

    Chapter 846 - Helping from Afar


    In the dark book room of Xie Yang Palace:


    "Get ready to leave." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge held his fan and spoke with a faint smile. "We can try our luck. The Ancient God weapon might be destined to be with one of us."


    Ancient God weapon? The geniuses and elites of Sky Suspension Palace were shocked. That was a weapon that only existed in legends, and such a thing appeared in Xie Yang Palace? This news stunned all of them, and the eyes of the silver-armored "Deng Chao" twinkled, but he wasn''t excited or surprised like everyone else.


    Zhii~~~


    The door to the book room opened, and those from Sky Suspension Palace walked out. The person at the very end was still the silver-armored "Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao."


    Spatial Movement!


    Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao stood in a corner that was a dead angle for vision, and a respectful expression appeared on his face as a ripple of power surged around him. Since the book room was protected by the God''s Forbidden Array, those outside the book room couldn''t sense those within the book room very well.


    Whoosh!


    Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao reached out, and several pure white lotuses appeared in front of him. The white lotuses contained petals, seeds, and leaves, and there auras weren''t normal.


    "Green Water Sky Lotus!" Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao revealed a joyful expression as he quickly put the white lotuses into his interspatial ring, then quickly walked out of the dark bookroom.


    Although he came out a bit later than everyone else, it didn''t raise their suspicions because Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao''s status amongst these people was relatively low.


    "Let''s go."


    The geniuses and elites from Sky Suspension Palace went on their way.


    Weng~~


    The leader was Xuanyuan Wen, and a piece of jade on his chest sensed something.


    Zhii~~


    After the Sky Suspension Palace elites left the dark book room, the room closed, and the power of the God''s Forbidden Array quickly covered it.


    Shua!


    Eventually, a calm male wearing a t-shirt appeared.


    "Although I know how to open this place, I can''t open it alone."


    The t-shirt-wearing male took back his hand and put them both behind his back.


    The three powerhouses of Sky Suspension Palace ¨C Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, Xuanyuan Wen, and the apricot-robed female ¨C could only open the book room when they combined their strength, and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge in particular knew the actual method to open it.


    At this moment, the difference between a group and an individual could be felt. However, the male wearing the t-shirt wasn''t regretful or sad. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the purple crystal tower in the depths of Xie Yang Palace.


    This purple crystal tower shot up into the sky; it was the tallest and most magnificent building in the palace, and it was located at the very center. However, the pressure radiating from this tower was terrifying and covered all the buildings in the palace. Even Kings would cough out blood if they fought back against this force.


    Ceng! Ceng!


    With a flash, the t-shirt-wearing male started to head in a direction different from Sky Suspension Palace.


    There was a lot of fortune in Xie Yang Palace that geniuses from other forces had found. In addition, the geniuses and elites that had entered Xie Yang Palace were just a small portion of the total amount; there was still a lot in the other areas of the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Within the six-sided Building of Refinement:


    "Zhao Yufei, that Purple-Haired Demonic Duo is extremely greedy and detestable. They''ve attacked the Duanmu Family, and you''re still being tricked by him?" The male in black robes said angrily, and everyone''s eyebrows furrowed.


    In the exchange a moment ago, one could obviously see that the purple-haired "Zhao Feng" had attacked Zhao Yufei with murderous intent.


    "That''s not Brother Feng! What you guys are seeing is a fake Demonic Duo." Zhao Yufei''s voice became cold.


    The Duanmu Family''s lack of belief made her sad, but "reality" was right there. Not long ago, one person from the Duanmu Family was killed and two were severely injured by the "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo."


    Zhao Yufei said that they were a fake Demonic Duo, but no one believed her. If even those from the Duanmu Family didn''t believe her, then why would the other forces?


    "Zezeze¡­. With our combined power, the world is ours!" The two purple-haired figures flashed throughout the Building of Refinement and laughed wickedly from time to time.


    The strongest person was the white-mustached Little Sword Saint, but he was fully attracted by the rusty bronze sword. The Ninth Prince, Zhao Yufei, and company weren''t scared of fighting the demonic duo, but the two of them immediately left after attacking once, and no one could do anything about their physical defense or their escaping skills.


    "Sky Suspension Palace is here!" Exclamations sounded from outside the Building of Refinement.


    Hearing that, the imperials, the Duanmu Family, the Cao Family, and company were half-happy and half-worried.


    They were happy that Sky Suspension Palace was here because they believed that they could easily deal with the demonic duo. They were worried because Sky Suspension Palace would probably take all the resources in the building for themselves.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Twenty or so figures quickly approached the Building of Refinement. The group from Sky Suspension Palace had five or six Void God Realm Kings, three of them having broken through after entering the Divine Illusion Dimension or Xie Yang Palace.


    "Ancient God weapon!"


    The Imperial Intent of an Emperor instantly filled the area when Xuanyuan Wen walked through the door.


    "Void God Realm Emperor!" The present half-step Kings and Kings were stunned as they felt their souls become suppressed.


    Apart from the Little Sword Saint, no one could compare to Xuanyuan Wen.


    Whoosh!


    In just one step, Xuanyuan Wen entered the depths of the crater-like furnace, and he wasn''t too far away from the Little Sword Saint.


    The Little Sword Saint was only comparable or slightly stronger than Xuanyuan Wen in terms of mental energy and Intent, but in terms of youth, cultivation, and overall power, Xuanyuan Wen easily suppressed the Little Sword Saint.


    Jiang!


    Maybe because of the Emperor Intent it felt, the rusty bronze sword in front of the furnace released a brilliant beam of sword-light, and a cold Sword Intent instantly filled the Building of Refinement and caused the entire furnace to become chaotic.


    Wah! Wah! Plop!


    The power of the Ancient God weapon injured many geniuses, causing some of them to cough out blood and faint.


    Jiang!


    The sound of metal clashing sounded as two auras no weaker than the rusty bronze sword appeared. A sunset-red curved blade and a black, notched axe awoke from the pile of nearby tattered weapons next to the furnace.


    "The aura of those two weapons are more complete and closer to Ancient God weapons."


    "Substandard God weapons!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s eyes flashed.


    Substandard God weapons! All of the geniuses'' hearts shook.


    Even if it was broken, an Ancient God weapon was too powerful for them; they were legendary items. However, substandard God weapons were better for the present geniuses and elites since the difficulty of obtaining them would be much lower.


    Hope appeared in the eyes of the three imperial princes. In the lord dynasty, substandard God weapons were a forbidden-level power that could shake and change the situation of the imperial family and the entire world of cultivation


    At this moment, two relatively complete substandard God weapons appeared in front of the furnace. One was a curved blade; although the blade was bent back a bit, it wasn''t very damaged. There were a few holes on the notched axe.


    Who knew what kind of battle these two substandard God weapons had gone through for them to be damaged?


    Weng~ Jiang! Jiang! Jiang~~~~!


    The three peerless weapons ¨C the rusty bronze sword, the curved blade, and the notched axe ¨C all released a powerful force that swept across the entire area. At this moment in time, terrifying sceneries appeared in the Building of Refinement. They entered the soul and had the ability to disturb reality and space itself. The blurred images summoned by the Ancient God weapon and the substandard God weapons were like the images from a Little World.


    Teng! Teng! Teng!


    Even some Kings were pushed back by this force.


    "Anyone that isn''t a King, retreat!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge was the first to give the order.


    "Half-step Kings, retreat from the Building of Refinement for now!" The Great Gan Imperials also gave the order.


    At this moment, the three peerless weapons awoke, and the aura they casually radiated could kill all lifeforms below the King level. Only Void God Realm Kings were able to withstand them.


    Amongst the outsiders, Sky Suspension Palace and the imperials had the majority of Void God Realms. The Sky Suspension Palace had six Void God Realms, including a Void God Realm Emperor. The Great Gan Imperials had the three Princes, Luo Zun, the wrinkled elder, and a new King for a total of six Void God Realms as well. These two sides had the biggest advantage in the fight for the peerless weapons.


    "Where did the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo go?"


    The geniuses from the imperials, the Duanmu Family, Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, and company instinctively looked around. They had to keep their guard up against the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo because they would always attack at the critical moment.


    In reality, after Sky Suspension Palace appeared, the "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo" had never reappeared.


    At the same time, on a big tree in a courtyard near the Building of Refinement, two purple-haired figures flashed.


    "Lord Black Serpent Dragon, are you sure that Zhao Feng will participate in the fight in the Building of Refinement?"


    "Zeze, if that''s the case, these humans will have a strong internal conflict¡­."


    The two purple-haired figures spoke cunningly.


    "Hmph, that Zhao Feng is already participating in it." A cold voice that seemed to reign supreme sounded in the duo''s ears.


    Already participating? Hearing that, the two purple-haired figures were puzzled. They hadn''t seen any signs of the true Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    The two purple-haired figures didn''t dare to enter the Building of Refinement since they were waiting for the true Demonic Duo.


    At a certain moment, a surge of King Intent rose from a silver-armored youth who was sitting outside the Building of Refinement. The aura of his soul seemed to become complete, and the disturbance raised the attention of other nearby half-step Kings.


    "A King!"


    "Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao became a King?"


    Some geniuses and elites from Sky Suspension Palace were dazed, and the half-step Kings of other forces revealed envious looks.


    The person that just broke through was the silver-armored spy in Sky Suspension Palace ¨C Deng Chao.


    "Thank you, Master. Without your help, I wouldn''t have broken through to the Void God Realm so quickly¡­."


    Gratitude and respect appeared in Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao''s eyes.


    No one realized that Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao had eaten the petals and seeds of two Green Water Sky Lotuses not long ago. If some other half-step King had two Green Water Sky Lotuses, they would have a 40-50% chance of successfully becoming a King. If there was an Emperor Intent helping them, then the chance of success would become even higher.


    Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao had both of those. He came from a four-star superpower, Sky Suspension Palace, and being able to become a member of this elite group meant that his talent was comparable to the Core disciples of some three-star forces.

 847 Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon

    Chapter 847 - Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon


    "Congratulations, Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao, on becoming a King."


    The other geniuses and elites of Sky Suspension Palace had complex emotions as they squeezed out a smile and came over to congratulate him.


    Although the weakest of the elites were already half-step Kings, no one would have thought that Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao, who was the weakest of the weak, the least experienced, and had the lowest status, would be able to break through at this critical moment.


    "Hahaha, this is a great chance. Now that I''m a King, we should charge forward!"


    Deng Chao gave a long laugh as he quickly consolidated his foundation and moved forward.


    "Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao!" The other geniuses and elites from Sky Suspension Palace were surprised as they watched the silver-armored Deng Chao charge into the Building of Refinement.


    "Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao, you just broke through and still need to consolidate your foundation!"


    No one would have thought that Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao would be so impatient to enter the Building of Refinement.


    Only Void God Realm Kings could stand their ground in the Building of Refinement right now. The three peerless weapons ¨C the rusty bronze sword, the curved blade, and the notched axe ¨C released a terrifying aura that could create phantom sceneries.


    A green sword glow rippled from the rusty bronze sword and gave off an immortal and desolate aura. Every time it hummed, space seemed to twist and turn. Even though these images in the air were created by the mere remnant Intents of the three peerless weapons, even Xuanyuan Wen didn''t dare to clash against them head-on.


    "What terrifying auras and sceneries¡­!" Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao felt his breathing become suppressed after entering the Building of Refinement. He found a safe spot and watched quietly with wariness. He was in a relatively faraway spot where he would "help" the others.


    The Kings of Sky Suspension Palace understood and accepted what Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao did. After all, he had only just broken through to the Void God Realm.


    "Apart from the Ancient God weapon, there''s also two substandard God weapons. Let''s see what else is in the depths of the Building of Refinement¡­." a voice sounded in Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao''s mind.


    "Understood, Master." Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao replied respectfully as he inspected the depths of the Building of Refinement.


    At this moment, a faint purple glow flickered in his eyes.


    "Hmm?" Deng Chao felt that his sight became more than ten times better, and he managed to faintly see a tattered weapon-stand made of a black metal. It was located past the eye-catching hot furnace.


    There were several slumbering auras on the tattered weapon-stand, which had several items that weren''t very eye-catching sitting on it.


    "An armguard¡­ shield¡­ three arrows¡­ and a spade?"


    Zhao Feng revealed a weird look.


    The items on the weapon-stand were relatively complete, but they seemed to be very normal.


    Since he was using Deng Chao''s senses, Zhao Feng didn''t need to use his Eye of Heaven, which required a lot of energy. He could spy on Sky Suspension Palace as well as see what was happening in the Building of Refinement anytime he wanted.


    Being a four-star power, the strength of Sky Suspension Palace was amongst the top, especially after Xuanyuan Wen became an Emperor. It could be said that every action and movement Sky Suspension Palace made would affect the entire balance in Xie Yang Palace. One could understand this from the fact that the fake Purple-Haired Demonic Duo ran away before the Sky Suspension Palace group even arrived.


    Even Zhao Feng was wary of Sky Suspension Palace, which is why he put a spy in the group from the Sky Suspension Palace.


    Deng Chao was the last to enter the dark book room, and Zhao Feng''s Eye of Heaven used that chance to put a Dark Heart Seal on him. Deng Chao was only a half-step King back then, so he had no chance at all against Zhao Feng''s Eye of Heaven.


    Zhao Feng''s Dark Heart Seal was even better than before. In the past, the Dark Heart Seal would limit the target''s potential when he used it, but after the Pursuit of Death and his re-cultivation, Zhao Feng started to perfect the Dark Heart Seal. The restriction on potential wasn''t as strong as before; Zhao Feng even helped Deng Chao break through to the Void God Realm, resulting in the current situation.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng could share Deng Chao''s sight within the Building of Refinement. Using his now-perfected version of the Dark Heart Seal, Zhao Feng could even send some of his eye-bloodline power over and use part of the God''s Spiritual Eye''s abilities.


    Of course, this transfer of energy meant that some of the God''s Spiritual Eye''s abilities would be lost in the process, but it would be enough to handle most situations. Zhao Feng was able to interfere in the fight directly even though he wasn''t in the Building of Refinement.


    "Zhao Feng, when will we take action?" Nan Gongsheng was somewhat impatient.


    He had been cultivating the Holy Wicked Technique for a while and could now use the power of the Evil God Crystal much better than before. His cultivation was at the late stages of the Void God Realm, but his True Yuan was stronger than others of the same cultivation due to the Evil God Crystal merging with his True Yuan.


    "It''s about time¡­." Zhao Feng closed his eyes and looked through Deng Chao''s.


    The underground cellar that the duo was in wasn''t very far away from the Building of Refinement.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly threw some old bronze coins, causing them to clatter.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Miao!


    With a flash of silver and gray, the little thieving cat disappeared from the underground cellar.


    On a big tree near the Building of Refinement:


    "Why hasn''t the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo taken action yet?"


    Two purple-haired figures were getting impatient. They had successfully managed to offend all the humans in the guise of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, so, as long as the real Purple-Haired Demonic Duo appeared, chaos would break out amongst the humans. However, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo hadn''t appeared even after such a long time.


    "The true Purple-Haired Demonic Duo has managed to get rid of my Marks of Destruction, but there''s a person that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo is controlling who is within my senses," the cold voice of the Black Serpent Dragon sounded out of nowhere.


    "What!? Those two brats managed to get rid of their Marks of Destruction!?"


    The expressions of the two purple-haired figures changed dramatically, and they couldn''t help but start to think in shock, If the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo has a way to get rid of the Mark of Destruction, then can we also do it?


    There was a way out, and if they had to, they would even team up with the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    "Hmph, the Marks of Destruction on you two have been especially strengthened. Even a Demigod would find it hard to resolve them."


    The words of the Black Serpent Dragon shattered their thoughts, and their hearts went cold. It looked like they had no way out.


    "The two of you both have True Dragon bloodlines, so I won''t treat you badly if you successfully complete the plan. Becoming a slave of the Destruction Dragon Race and making the world tremble is a glory for countless puny and weak races." The Black Serpent Dragon gave a smile.


    "Those two brats are very patient. Do we need to enter the Building of Refinement under a new identity?" The purple-haired youth who looked like Zhao Feng suggested.


    "That''s right. Through the senses of this ''Deng Chao,'' I found a very useful and complete substandard God weapon ¨C the Misty Spatial World," the Black Serpent Dragon said in a deep tone.


    Substandard God weapon, Misty Spatial World?


    The two purple-haired figures'' hearts shook when they heard this. They had heard of the legendary item known as a substandard God weapon.


    "The Misty Spatial World is a support-type weapon, and the important part is that it doesn''t have a high requirement of the user. You can use it as long as you get it." The Black Serpent Dragon paused for a moment. "Illusionist Dragon, quickly!"


    The expression of the other purple-haired youth became serious.


    Whoosh!


    The youth who looked like Nan Gongsheng waved his hand.


    Shua!


    With a flash, the fake Purple-Haired Demonic Duo turned into two non-human males. One was a tall male with blue scales ¨C the Blue Serpent King, Wei Jing. The other non-human male had a pair of horns and beady green eyes. His skin was dark green.


    "Switch!" With a flash, Wei Jing and Beady Green Eyes turned into a youth in blue robes and a female in a green dress.


    The aura of the girl wearing the green dress was extremely pleasant and elegant, and they were both at the Void God Realm.


    "Zeze, as expected of the genius ranked 10th on the Imperial Genius rankings¡­ your Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon bloodline is so powerful." The youth in blue robes nodded his head in satisfaction.


    Beady Green Eyes had the bloodline of a Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon, which could imitate and change according to the environment. The Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon could imitate anything it saw, including animate and inanimate objects, such as rocks, grass, and insect corpses.


    Of course, the imitation was just an image; they didn''t actually become that thing and gain its abilities. However, this was a bloodline technique that could even hide from Divine Senses.


    Because the Blue Serpent King was always together with Beady Green Eyes, the latter''s bloodline power covered him as well.


    "Let''s go!" The Blue Serpent King and Beady Green Eyes quickly flew into the Building of Refinement.


    "Hmm? Those two experts look unfamiliar."


    Some of the experts resting outside the Building of Refinement revealed weird expressions, but too many forces had entered the Divine Illusion Dimension. It wasn''t rare to see Kings that had come from other places in the lord dynasty since it was so big.


    Just like that, the Blue Serpent King and Beady Green Eyes walked straight into the Building of Refinement.


    The addition of these two "human" Kings didn''t attract the attention of any other Kings in the Building of Refinement.


    Ceng! Ceng!


    The blue-robed King and the girl in green robes duo went around the three peerless weapons in the air and tried to go past them. However, on this path, the duo had to face the extreme heat of the furnace. Normal Kings would be roasted if they approached the furnace.


    "Do those two people want to die?"


    Some of the Kings present revealed mocking or sympathetic expressions while the other Kings put their sights on the scattered weapons and materials on the ground. Any one of these ores or weapons were immeasurably value. The three-star or four-star forces behind them could use them well.


    "I see the weapon-stand." The Blue Serpent King duo resisted the extreme heat and looked toward the other side of the furnace.


    Weng~~


    An icy blue mist surrounded the duo and helped resist the heat.


    "What''s that weird bloodline?"


    "Even an Emperor''s resistance would only be at that level."


    Xuanyuan Wen and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge of Sky Suspension Palace looked over.


    Hu~


    What was even more incredible was that the ice-blue mist allowed the duo to hover over the ground. It wasn''t quite flying, but one had to know that Xie Yang Palace heavily restricted flying; normal Kings could only fly for a brief moment. This meant that the duo didn''t need to face as much heat because at least half of the heat came from the ground.


    "Look at it closely. The arm guard on the weapon-stand is a substandard God weapon ¨C the Misty Spatial World. The arrows are God Slaying Arrows, and the shield is the Golden Pond Shield¡­." The Black Serpent Dragon''s voice, which seemed to rule over the world, appeared in the minds of the Blue Serpent King duo.

 848 Seen Through

    Chapter 848 - Seen Through


    The Blue Serpent King duo''s actions caught the attention of all the other Kings. The duo had gone around the three peerless weapons, and the extreme heat around that part of the furnace was enough to burn normal Kings into ashes.


    Maybe Xuanyuan Wen and the Little Sword Saint had the ability to withstand the heat there, but they were fully attracted to the three peerless weapons.


    Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, the girl in apricot robes, the Ninth Prince, and some others were trying to obtain the curved blade while the notched axe was being targeted by the imperial group, Sky Sword Pavilion, the Duanmu Family, and some other forces.


    Some of the weaker Kings set their sights lower and tried to obtain some of the scattered weapon pieces and materials.


    "I feel a familiar bloodline and True Yuan undulation from that blue-robed youth¡­." Zhao Yufei''s eyes twinkled as she gave the Blue Serpent King an extra glance, but since the Blue Serpent King had now turned into a human by the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon bloodline ability, his bloodline and cultivation technique auras were different.


    "The strength of those two is only below that of Martial Brother Xuanyuan. They probably have something special in mind," Senior Martial Brother Zhuge said. He gave up on the curved blade and approached the Blue Serpent Dragon duo as a mysterious flame glowed around him. Senior Martial Brother Zhuge instinctively felt that these two were suspicious or had some sort of secret.


    "That Zhuge Yun seems to be suspicious of us. He''s indeed worthy of being the brain of Sky Suspension Palace¡­." Beady Green Eyes privately messaged.


    "It''s indeed slightly troublesome, but just him alone isn''t enough to threaten us." The Blue Serpent King had an emotionless expression.


    The only ones he was truly wary of in the six-sided Building of Refinement were Xuanyuan Wen and the Little Sword Saint. After that came Zhao Yufei from the Duanmu Family.


    "Yufei, with your strength, you might be able to obtain a substandard God weapon for the Duanmu Family," the elder in green robes suggested.


    Although the Duanmu Family had three Kings, the only one that was actually useful was Zhao Yufei. The elder in green robes cultivated the element of Wood and was countered by the flames inside the furnace, while the other King had only just broken through and was too weak.


    Miao miao!


    Before Zhao Yufei could respond, a silver-gray streak of light appeared from behind.


    "Little thieving cat?" Zhao Yufei was overjoyed as she glanced at a small silver-gray cat that suddenly appeared on her shoulder. The little thieving cat was never far from Zhao Feng; since the cat had appeared, that meant that Zhao Feng himself wasn''t far away.


    Hmm? Some of the nearby Kings revealed weird expressions as they looked over.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws.


    "You mean¡­?" Zhao Yufei knew what the little thieving cat was saying and couldn''t help but turn toward the direction of the Blue Serpent King duo. A layer of purple light then started to glow around her body as she took the little thieving cat and chased after the Blue Serpent King duo.


    "Yufei!" The green-robed elder''s expression changed. The area that the Blue Serpent King and Green Beady Eyes were located was extremely hot. Even Emperors would be wary of the heat.


    Whoosh!


    At the same time, the flames around Senior Martial Brother Zhuge allowed him to float in the air and not touch the ground with his feet.


    "We''re almost there¡­. The substandard God weapons¡­ Misty Spatial World, God Slaying Arrows, Golden Pond Shield!"


    The Blue Serpent King''s and Green Beady Eyes'' heart-rates increased as their gazes locked on to the armguard Misty Spatial World.


    The substandard-God-level Misty Spatial World could be used right away as long as they obtained it, which could increase their strength dramatically in an instant. In comparison, the God Slaying Arrows, the Golden Pond Shield, and the spade weren''t of much use to the duo.


    However, the tattered weapon-stand was located on the other side of the crater, and the heat became stronger the further one went. It could dramatically threaten even Void God Realm Emperors.


    Hu~~


    The ice-blue mist around the Blue Serpent King duo started to boil as the cold aura started to heat up.


    "So hot¡­."


    The duo had to face the terrifying heat. The Blue Serpent King was slightly better off since he had the Ice Serpent Emperor bloodline, which was ranked in the top ten among Imperial Dao bloodlines, so the strength of his body was close to the True Dragon Race. The natural inborn talent of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon outside was even stronger than normal True Dragons.


    However, while the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon was also a dragon bloodline, Beady Green Eyes specialized in illusions, so his body was relatively weaker.


    "Wei Jing, I can''t hold it for much longer¡­." Sweat poured down Beady Green Eyes'' face as he tried to sustain the illusion.


    Despite that, they were both able to withstand the heat much better than the approaching Senior Martial Brother Zhuge.


    "The bodies of those two humans are so strong that they don''t seem like humans anymore!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s eyes became sharp.


    He couldn''t get too close because his body and resistance to fire wasn''t as strong as the combined forces of the Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon man.


    "Zhao Yufei, we should work together. The items on that weapon-stand definitely aren''t normal," Senior Martial Brother Zhuge messaged privately and prepared to pincer-attack the Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon man.


    "Okay." Zhao Yufei agreed and maintained a certain distance. Her eyebrows furrowed due to the heat.


    "Maintain the illusion." The Blue Serpent King suddenly went forward several yards and had to face a heat that even normal Emperors couldn''t withstand.


    At this instant, blue scales appeared under the ice-blue mist and gave off a terrifying coldness that belonged to the Ice Serpent Emperor bloodline. If it wasn''t for the fact that Beady Green Eyes was covering him, the power of the Blue Serpent King''s bloodline would shock everyone present.


    In an instant, the Blue Serpent King''s battle-power was enough to challenge Emperors. By relying on his body, bloodline, and heat resistance, he was actually slightly stronger than normal Emperors.


    "Come!" The Blue Serpent King reached out, and an ice-blue dragon tendon shot out.


    "Change!" Beady Green Eyes quickly waved his hand and turned the dragon tendon into a scarlet-golden chain.


    "Wait a second¡­." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s eyes shone. "That scarlet-golden chain is releasing a faint icy undulation¡­."


    Ding!


    The ice-blue crystal dragon tendon that shot out from the Blue Serpent King landed on the armguard on the weapon-stand.


    "Substandard God weapon ¨C Misty Spatial World!"


    The Blue Serpent King''s and Beady Green Eyes'' heartbeats sped up, perhaps because this was their only chance to grab it before they were roasted by the furnace.


    However, right at this moment, the unexpected happened.


    Miao~~


    With a flash of silver and gray, a little cat landed on the ice-blue crystal dragon tendon that was extending from the Blue Serpent King. Of course, in the eyes of everyone watching, it was a scarlet-golden chain, not a dragon tendon.


    "Little thieving cat!" Zhao Yufei''s expression changed dramatically as she exclaimed.


    The ice-blue crystal tendon was even closer to the heat than the Blue Serpent King. Even Zhao Yufei wouldn''t dare to set step into such close range.


    Shu~~


    Steam and hot air started to rise the instant the little thieving cat landed on the ice-blue crystal dragon tendon.


    Under normal circumstances, the extreme cold of the ice-blue crystal dragon tendon would form a layer of frost on its surface and turn the little thieving cat into an ice cat, but at the moment, the environmental heat present far surpassed the dragon tendon''s cold. This meant that the little thieving cat had a layer of protection.


    Miao miao!


    The dark golden chain on the little thieving cat''s neck turned into an agile dark golden dragon snake whip and shot toward the other side of the weapon-stand.


    Please don''t do anything¡­! The Blue Serpent King''s heart had risen to his throat as he prayed. If the little thieving cat stopped them, then the Blue Serpent King''s perfect plan would fail, which meant that he would be destined to miss the Misty Spatial World. Once he failed, he would need to go back outside to rest since he wasn''t able to withstand the heat.


    "Little cat, please¡­ don''t do anything." Beady Green Eyes also started to sweat, but luckily, the little thieving cat didn''t do anything to stop them after landing on the dragon tendon, and it also wasn''t targeting the armguard Misty Spatial World.


    Miao~~


    The little thieving cat''s dark golden dragon snake whip landed perfectly on one of the items.


    "Eh?" Beady Green Eyes'' and the approaching Senior Martial Brother Zhuge were shocked. The item that the little thieving cat''s whip had wrapped around was the strange spade.


    The aura of this spade was almost silent, and it didn''t have the aura of a substandard God weapon at all.


    "Success!" The Blue Serpent King was overjoyed as he pulled back the dragon tendon with the armguard in tow.


    Miao miao!


    The next instant, the little thieving cat also managed to obtain its spade.


    The Blue Serpent King paused and realized that something was off.


    "That cat used that blue-robed youth''s chain as a place to stand for protection from the heat so it could take an item." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s expression was extremely colorful, and he couldn''t help but cheer in secret for this cat''s use of another''s force.


    Without the Blue Serpent King''s "chair," even Emperors wouldn''t be able to retreat unharmed after coming so close to the heat.


    "Dammit, I was used by this cat¡­!" The Blue Serpent King''s face twitched as he understood what happened, but he couldn''t withstand the heat any longer.


    Miao!


    With a flash of silver-gray light, the little cat disappeared.


    "Retreat!" The Blue Serpent King and Beady Green Eyes gathered together, but they were suddenly pincer-attacked by Zhao Yufei and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge.


    "Hmph! Blue Serpent King, Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon, get back here!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge roared, and the Blue Serpent King duo''s hearts shook as their expressions changed dramatically. Senior Martial Brother Zhuge had seen through their identities.


    "Hehe, it''s indeed you two. Everyone, stop these two non-human thieves!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge had a playful expression, while anger and surprise filled the Blue Serpent King duo. Senior Martial Brother Zhuge tricked them; it was obvious that he was only guessing about their identities.


    "Fuck off!" The Blue Serpent King roared with anger as he leapt into the air, and a blue-scaled dragon claw summoned a wave of icy rain that covered Senior Martial Brother Zhuge.


    "Mystic Machine Fire Shield!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge retreated as he formed a formation with his hands and created a flaming barrier made of countless tadpole flames.


    Weng~ Hu!


    The Mystic Machine Fire Shield used the flames around the crater to become stronger, so it was twice as strong as usual. Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s secret technique was able to utilize the power around them to the fullest extent.


    Boom!


    The Blue Serpent King''s powerful blow was only able to force Senior Martial Brother Zhuge back a couple steps, and he wasn''t even injured.


    At the same time, a shout came from the other side as Zhao Yufei clashed with the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon.


    "Go!" The image of a dark green illusory dragon roared behind the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon''s back.


    Weng~~


    The illusory dragon phantom released a multi-colored transparent light that could seep into the soul.


    "That''s¡­!!?"


    Zhao Yufei''s mind wavered. The illusory dragon created a powerful illusion that had a similar effect to Zhao Feng''s Illusion Maze Domain. At this instant, Zhao Yufei''s senses were disturbed and became chaotic.


    "Yufei, watch out! The Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon is ranked 10th on the Imperial Genius rankings, only below Xuanyuan Wen and the Blue Serpent King!"


    The green-robed elder''s heart rose to his throat.

 849 Power of a Substandard God weapon

    Chapter 849 - Power of a Substandard God weapon


    "Yufei, watch out! The Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon is ranked 10th on the Imperial Genius rankings, only below Xuanyuan Wen and the Blue Serpent King!" The green-robed elder couldn''t help but warn.


    Beady Green Eyes had a rare illusion-based bloodline that could release powerful Illusion Dao attacks. It could be said that the bloodline of the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon contained a unique Dao of Illusion domain unto itself.


    In the exchange just now, Zhao Yufei''s senses were disrupted. The attack contained illusions that twisted the surroundings and environment.


    "This is¡­ the Zhao Family?" Zhao Yufei''s heart shook.


    The person in front of her smiled and started to become blurry as a decisive and hard-working youth appeared. This youth was the young Zhao Feng in her memories.


    The change wasn''t just the environment; Zhao Yufei herself had turned into a young girl.


    The memory of a young boy and girl sparring with each other in the courtyard seemed to replay through her mind.


    Pa!


    Zhao Yufei exchanged a blow with the young Zhao Feng opposite her. She groaned and retreated a few steps. She was at a disadvantage.


    Although the difference in strength between them wasn''t very big, the young Zhao Feng opposite her had the upper hand.


    It wasn''t just Zhao Yufei that saw this. Even in the eyes of those watching, Zhao Yufei and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon turned into a young Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng. Even the surroundings turned into the courtyard of the Zhao Family from Sun Feather City. All of these changes were caused by the Dao of Illusion mixing reality and illusions together.


    "Yufei!" The green-robed elder and company from the Duanmu Family couldn''t help but exclaim. The direction that Zhao Yufei was being forced to retreat was the direction of the flaming crater. Even an Emperor wouldn''t be able to survive if they fell directly into the furnace.


    Peng! Bam! Bam!


    The Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon man and Zhao Yufei exchanged dozens of blows as the illusions twisted the surroundings and altered everyone''s senses. Zhao Yufei was being pushed back toward the crater step by step.


    "Brother Zhao Feng¡­." Zhao Yufei''s eyes became misty, and she had a complex expression as she seemed to remember the memories of the past.


    "Die!" The Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon laughed coldly as a multi-colored wave of light surged from his fist and smashed toward Zhao Yufei''s charming face.


    "Unfortunately, you aren''t capable." A cold light flashed through the eyes of the pretty girl in purple. A strong surge of killing intent radiated from Zhao Yufei''s body.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Yufei''s skin instantly became crystal-like as she gave off a magnificent glow of purple light. The power from her bloodline made all the elites within the Building of Refinement shake.


    At this moment in time, both Kings and Emperors alike felt their techniques and power tremble. Some of it was even lost.


    "What''s going on!?" The Emperor-level True Yuan around Xuanyuan Wen''s body started to shake.


    Bam!


    A non-human male in dark green light was pushed back dozens of yards with a wave of Zhao Yufei''s hand, and blood leaked from his mouth. The illusions in Zhao Yufei''s vision faded.


    "As expected of the owner of a Spiritual Race bloodline." The non-human male squinted his pair of beady green eyes as he wiped the blood from his mouth, and he used the force of her attack to flip through the air and meet up with Wei Jing.


    In the exchange just now, Zhao Yufei used the natural inborn power of her Spiritual Race bloodline and managed to injure the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon, who was ranked 10th on the Imperial Genius rankings.


    Of course, since the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon cultivated the Dao of Illusions, his ability to fight in a head-on clash was much weaker than the Blue Serpent King, who was ranked 9th.


    "Retreat!" The Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon and the Blue Serpent King disappeared after the they reunited.


    "Quickly, block the doorway! That''s the stealthy escaping ability of the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s expression changed slightly, and a pair of sharp white lights shot out from his eyes, but he could only see a faint image.


    Only eye-bloodlines as strong as Ji Lan''s Purple Star Eyes could counter the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon''s stealth technique. Unfortunately, the Ji Family hadn''t entered the Building of Refinement, and no one else here had a strong-enough eye-bloodline.


    In reality, the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon didn''t actually have any spatial abilities, but he could create certain sceneries and certain auras. This was why they were able to pretend to be the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo and act it out so well.


    "How dare you pretend to be the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!? I won''t forgive you!" Anger appeared on Zhao Yufei''s face as she used the senses of her Spiritual Race bloodline to the maximum. She caught a faint aura, which she then chased after.


    However, the only people truly pursuing them were Zhao Yufei and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge. The other Kings were unable to even see where the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon had gone.


    Xuanyuan Wen and the Little Sword Saint could, but the competition for the rusty bronze sword had entered the final stages.


    A bright sword-light surrounded the Little Sword Saint that was as bright as the sun. A Sword Intent that seemed to have forgotten the concepts of Life and Death appeared in his eyes. Every step he took meant that he was giving himself no way out.


    The Little Sword Saint showed no signs of retreat even against the powerful aura of the Ancient God sword.


    Jiang!


    The rusty bronze sword in the air released a bright flash of green sword-light alongside an ancient, cold Sword Intent straight toward the Little Sword Saint.


    Wah!


    The Little Sword Saint spat out a mouthful of blood as he surrounded himself in sword-light.


    "Senior Sword Saint!" The cold girl in black robes from Sky Sword Pavilion couldn''t help but exclaim.


    "If the heavens want me to die, then so be it!" the Little Sword Saint roared as the brilliant sword-light around him shattered against the rusty bronze sword.


    This attack seemed to cut away all his energy and lifeforce. The white-mustached Little Sword Saint could feel his True Yuan and lifeforce start to wither. His skin became dry and old.


    "From Body to Sword!"


    The Little Sword Saint suddenly started to burn as he transformed into a sword-beam and charged toward the Ancient God-level rusty bronze sword.


    At this moment in time, the entire Building of Refinement was covered by a bright sword-light. Even the flames in the crater seemed to be faint in contrast.


    Complex and respectful emotions appeared on Xuanyuan Wen''s face.


    "What a terrifying power of the Sword Dao! That move can probably kill Emperors instantly and even threaten Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords¡­." The escaping Blue Serpent King and Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon felt their hearts shake. The aura of that Sword Dao attack scared them.


    The only thing left behind was a sword-light that covered the entire furnace. This sword-light contained the Little Sword Saint''s understanding of the Sword Dao, and he used his life to activate it.


    Jiang!


    The rusty bronze sword released a glow of green sword-light that caused space itself to become chaotic as it created an endless world.


    Boom!


    The sword-light that the Little Sword Saint had turned into pierced through the world and caused space itself to twist and turn. Time seemed to stop, and the bright sword-beam that covered the Little Sword Saint seemed to merge with the sword-beam from the Ancient God weapon until the they eventually formed an equilibrium.


    Looking at it, it seemed as if two divine swords were absorbing each other in the air, and one of these swords was the Little Sword Saint.


    Hu~~


    The Kings within the Building of Refinement looked at the weirdly balanced state in shock.


    Any mistake would mean the Little Sword Saint''s death.


    At the same time, Zhao Yufei and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge followed the tracks and reached the door to the Building of Refinement.


    "Block the entrance!"


    A handful of Kings, including two from the Duanmu Family as well as Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao, had gathered at the door.


    Boom!


    The Magnificent Powers of six Kings gathered into one spatial domain and formed a five-colored barrier. This combined resistance was enough to stall even an Emperor for a while.


    Boom! Bam! Bam!


    An Ice Serpent Dragon with blue scales charged over alongside a terrifying icy rain, and its icy dragon claw smashed onto the five-colored barrier.


    Boom!


    The five-colored barrier that the six Kings formed together became a lot dimmer. It would break after one or two more blows, but that still gave the other experts time.


    "Don''t let those two non-humans escape!"


    Some resting half-step Kings all gathered at the entrance and joined the six Kings.


    "Mystic Machine Secret Formation!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge expanded the fan in his hand, and it flew into the air, releasing a wave of silver lightning chains that wrapped around the Blue Serpent Dragon duo.


    Whoosh! Boom!


    At the same time, there was a powerful surge of Yuan Qi as a purple meteor charged over from behind. The True Yuan and bloodlines of the Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon both shook as the force smashed over.


    A shout came from the purple light, and one could faintly see a goddess in purple.


    "Get back here!"


    The girl in purple lightly pressed her hand down, and a materialized purple dimension appeared alongside a surge of magnificent force above the Blue Serpent King duo.


    Little World! The duo''s expressions changed dramatically.


    At this point in time, the two non-humans were surrounded by Kings and were being attacked from both directions.


    Zhao Yufei and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge were both comparable to at least the top twenty of the Imperial Genius rankings, and perhaps even the top ten. Once they dragged this fight out, the Blue Serpent King duo would be attacked by all the Kings and half-step Kings.


    Right as the duo were in serious danger and becoming fatigued from dealing with the attacks:


    "Retards, use the power of the substandard God weapon!" A cold voice sounded in their ears, and a misty spatial image covered the duo as soon as the voice spoke.


    Shua!


    This mystic world pushed away Zhao Yufei''s Little World.


    "Hmm?" The Kings and half-step Kings near the entrance were covered by the misty dimension and instantly became dizzy.


    "Watch out! That''s the substandard God weapon ¨C the Misty Spatial World! It contains its own Little World. It also has a weird spatial ability." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge exclaimed.


    Shua!


    The misty dimension suddenly started to contract and transform into a flow of white mist that became smaller and smaller until it just "evaporated" into nothing, and everyone else could only look on.


    "That is the power of a substandard God weapon!" The present half-step Kings and Kings were shaken back into reality.


    "Follow them!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s Divine Sense caught a ball of white mist that had just formed in a forest far away.


    "Haha, with the Misty Spatial World, we aren''t scared of numbers anymore. Even an Emperor or two can''t do anything to us."


    The Blue Serpent King duo was revealed in the mist. They had disdainful expressions toward Senior Martial Brother Zhuge and company that were pursuing after them, and they were even considering whether or not they should charge back and fight.


    However, right at this moment, a voice sounded from a big tree opposite them; "You two were indeed able to escape. Looks like it was worth it to wait here."


    "Who''s there!?" The Blue Serpent King and company were shocked as they glanced toward a purple-haired youth with closed eyes sitting on a big tree opposite them.

 850 Gaze of the Gods Eye

    Chapter 850 - Gaze of the God''s Eye


    In front of the entrance to the six-sided Building of Refinement.


    "The Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon have obtained a substandard God weapon ¨C the Misty Spatial World."


    "Those two non-humans managed to steal a substandard God weapon under everyone''s noses¡­!"


    The six Kings and thirty or so half-step Kings were stunned, and they felt angry and ashamed. After all, everyone within the Building of Refinement was a human elite, but two non-human beings managed to escape even after being surround by all of them.


    "Follow them!"


    Some of the Kings and half-step Kings chased after them. At the very front was Zhao Yufei and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge. However, amongst the group, Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao didn''t chase after them.


    "Understood, Master." Junior Martial Brother Zhuge turned around and returned to the Building of Refinement, continuing to monitor the situation while the remaining Kings and half-step Kings had gone after the duo.


    The Kings from the Duanmu Family, the Cao Family, and Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace had all exited the building. Amongst the group was a thick-eyebrowed male who had arrived not long ago. This was a genius from the three-star Earth Spirit Hall, Gu Chaozhi, who Zhao Feng had met before in the underground city.


    Gu Chaozhi only took four half-step Kings with him when he entered Xie Yang Palace, and the second they got near it, they were caught by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Substandard God weapon! I didn''t expect such a peerless treasure to appear in Xie Yang Palace." Gu Chaozhi was extremely excited. Just seeing a substandard God weapon in real life a single time was a dream for many people.


    "Let''s go check it out." Gu Chaozhi didn''t have too much hope, but there was still a small bit of expectation. After all, substandard God weapons and Ancient God weapons were only obtained by those destined to have them.


    Ceng! Ceng! Ceng!


    Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, Zhao Yufei, and the other Kings and half-step Kings went in the direction of the forest.


    "Hmm?" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge discovered that the Blue Serpent King duo stopped after appearing at the forest.


    Within the forest:


    "You two were indeed able to escape. Looks like it was worth it to wait here."


    Surprise appeared on the Blue Serpent King''s and Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon''s faces as they looked toward the purple-haired youth sitting on a big tree. However, when they saw that this youth was just a Great Origin Core Realm, even though the youth was one of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, they roared with disdainful laughter.


    The Blue Serpent King duo''s confidence increased dramatically after obtaining the substandard-God-level Misty Spatial World. So many experts and enemies had tried to stop them a moment ago, but they still managed to escape. Now they were just facing a single youth.


    The Blue Serpent King was even thinking about whether or not they should toy with the human geniuses by taking advantage of the Misty Spatial World. They might even be able to charge back and obtain another substandard God weapon, or even an Ancient God weapon.


    "Hahahaha, purple-haired brat! You managed to get lucky last time, and now you come right to us? You seem to think you''ve lived too long," the Blue Serpent King roared as his powerful bloodline created a layer of frost on the trees nearby.


    Although there were signs of people still chasing after them, the Blue Serpent King wasn''t scared. He glanced at the substandard God weapon on his arm and felt extremely confident. With this substandard God weapon, it was the same as having a powerful Space-type Little World.


    "Brother Feng¡­!" The expression of Zhao Yufei, who was heading toward the direction of the forest, changed. She knew how terrifying the Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon were. Their combined strength could easily fight multiple Kings, and obtaining the substandard God weapon was like adding wings to a tiger.


    "Is that Zhao Feng!?" Guo Chaozhi''s eyes bulged out.


    "It''s one of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo ¨C Zhao Feng!" The Kings and half-step Kings from the Duanmu Family, the Cao Family, Grand Duke Yuan''s Palace, and the other forces also recognized Zhao Feng.


    This youth wasn''t even a Void God Realm yet and he was actually facing the Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon at the same time? Everyone couldn''t help but sweat for him.


    "For the two of you, it all ends here."


    At this moment, the eyes of the purple-haired youth slowly opened.


    At this instant, the Blue Serpent King duo and some of the Kings behind them felt their hearts shake. Maybe because of how confidently the youth spoke, or maybe the way he just opened his eyes as if he had been waiting here for a long time already.


    The youth spoke to the powerful Blue Serpent King duo so casually. The other member of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, Nan Gongsheng, appeared, but he showed no signs of doing anything.


    "Zhao Feng, can you really fight these two guys alone?" Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but message. After all, he had seen the duo escape from that giant group of Kings, but before he even finished his sentence, the unexpected happened.


    "Gaze¡­ of¡­ the¡­ God¡­ Eye!"


    A strong surge of purple eye-bloodline power shot out from the sitting youth''s left eye.


    At this moment, a limitless whirlpool akin to a purple abyss of illusions appeared in his left eye, creating a forbidden power that covered everything the youth looked at.


    "You two retards, run!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s voice sounded in the Blue Serpent King duo''s ears, but its warning was too late.


    "How¡­?"


    The Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon felt a coldness in their souls, as if they had been restrained and started to leave their control. Their hearts shook as they revealed looks of fear, and they tried to struggle.


    The left eye of the purple-haired youth started to expand, and a forbidden force that could suck out their souls covered them. This forbidden power was like a God ¨C it couldn''t be stopped.


    "What¡­!?" Sweat poured down the duo''s backs as fear and panic spread across their eyes. It seemed like, no matter what they did, they weren''t able to stop their souls from being sucked out.


    "Oh my god!" The hearts of some of the arriving experts and elites shook. When they looked at Zhao Feng''s left eye, their bodies went cold, and their souls showed signs of floating away.


    "What a terrifying forbidden eye-bloodline technique. If Ji Lan was here¡­" Cao Yun felt unable to breathe, and his heart thumped.


    Two geniuses ranked within the top ten on the Imperial Genius rankings were full of fear as they struggled in despair against Zhao Feng''s forbidden eye-bloodline technique.


    "That Zhao Feng¡­ how can he¡­!?" Gu Chaozhi exclaimed.


    Even Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s expression, who was usually rather calm, changed dramatically.


    "He''s about to suppress those two by himself¡­." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge had a solemn expression. The aura of that purple-haired youth''s forbidden eye-bloodline technique made him feel uneasy.


    Miao!


    The small cat on Zhao Yufei''s shoulder turned into a streak of silver-gray light that flashed by.


    "I can''t hold on any longer¡­!" the Blue Serpent King roared as he turned into an Ice Serpent Dragon once more.


    However, even his Ice Serpent Emperor bloodline, which was ranked in the top ten among Imperial Dao bloodlines, trembled uneasily when facing this opponent''s eye-bloodline. A faint blue Yuan Soul in the shape of an ice dragon was being pulled out of the Blue Serpent King''s body.


    "Save me Lord Black Serpent Dragon!" The Blue Serpent King fell into limitless despair. He had almost no ability to fight back against Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye at all, and this was when the latter was facing two people at once.


    "Don''t~~~~!" A multi-colored Yuan Soul was half-pulled out from the body of the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon.


    This scene made the mouths of all the pursuing geniuses gape open, and a coldness spread across their bodies.


    The youth sitting on a tree was still just sitting there. The only difference from before was that he had opened his eyes.


    He was like the representative of death as a faint smile of mockery formed on his face. An endless purple whirlpool expanded in his left eye, which pulled on the souls of the Blue Serpent King duo.


    This Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon''s defense is stronger against Soul and Illusion techniques. Zhao Feng revealed a weird look as he gazed down from above.


    In terms of cultivation, these two were both Peak-tier Kings. They were just a bit away from forming Emperor Intent. However, their mastery and usage of Soul Dao techniques was a lot weaker than Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye came from the ancient Emperor of Death''s Gaze of Death. Zhao Feng had even used this Gaze of the God Eye against the Emperor of Death, and it surpassed the original technique. At this point, he had also incorporated the Dao of Illusion.


    Zhao Feng didn''t know how stunned Nan Gongsheng behind him was.


    So¡­ this is the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor. Nan Gongsheng took in a cold breath. Since he was behind Zhao Feng, he saw the souls of the Blue Serpent King duo slowly leaving their bodies as fear and panic appeared on their faces.


    Just as Zhao Feng was about to kill the duo:


    "Stop!"


    A cold voice that seemed to rule the world sounded in the air.


    Roar~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s roar sounded from within the Blue Serpent King''s and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon''s bodies. A scarlet-black flame suddenly started to flicker in their eyes as an Intent that could destroy anything in its path was released.


    Boom!


    Purple illusory lightning clashed with scarlet-black flames in the soul-dimension.


    On the branch, Zhao Feng''s figure shook as his soul trembled.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon."


    Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye was instantly disrupted, and the Blue Serpent King duo''s souls returned back to their bodies.


    "What!? My substandard God weapon¡­!"


    The Blue Serpent King was just about to use the Misty Spatial World but found that the armguard on his arm had disappeared.


    Miao miao!


    With a flash of silver and gray, a palm-sized silver-gray cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder.


    "Thieving cat, good job!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly as he put the substandard God armguard on his arm.


    While the Blue Serpent King duo''s souls were struggling, the little thieving cat easily stole the Misty Spatial World off the Blue Serpent King.


    "Let''s run away!" A dark green flash of light blinked behind the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon''s back.


    Shua!


    The Blue Serpent Dragon and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon disappeared, and their auras merged into the forest.


    "As expected, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon left a trick behind on those two¡­."


    Zhao Feng''s left eye saw two transparent balls of light merge into the environment and try to escape.

 851 Twenty Days

    Chapter 851 - Twenty Days


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Yufei, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, and the group of geniuses finally arrived near the tree, but by the time they arrived, the Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon were already running away after their encounter with Zhao Feng.


    More precisely, the duo didn''t have any ability to fight against Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye at all and were barely able to survive. Although the duo wasn''t killed, Zhao Feng had taken their substandard God weapon, the Misty Spatial World.


    While there was greed and unwillingness in the arriving Kings'' eyes after seeing Zhao Feng acquire a substandard God weapon, there was more fear and wariness.


    One of the biggest reasons they chased after the duo in the first place was because of the substandard God weapon, so they were filled with disappointment and lost their motivation after Zhao Feng got it. They didn''t have the courage to steal the substandard God weapon from Zhao Feng right now.


    The youth''s left eye returned to normal.


    "The strength of those two''s souls is close to the Emperor level, and because of their bloodlines, bodies, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s help, it''ll be very hard to kill them." Zhao Feng looked in the direction that the duo escaped in.


    In a head-on fight, the chance of Zhao Feng winning against the duo was quite slim. Even with Nan Gongsheng''s help, the odds were only 50-50.


    The Gaze of the God Eye was the best technique to capture or kill the duo, but it failed. However, Zhao Feng''s goal was basically reached; he taught the Blue Serpent King duo a lesson while taking the substandard God weapon as well. He also managed to show off in front of the other forces. Now, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge and the other Kings didn''t dare to attack Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng when they saw them.


    "What beautiful methods you have, and you managed to help against those non-humans. The fake Purple-Haired Demonic Duo that ambushed everyone should be the Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge went up and gave a smile.


    The forbidden eye-bloodline technique that Zhao Feng just used shocked everyone. Apart from Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, Zhao Yufei, and a couple others, no one else dared to get too close to him.


    "I told you that Brother Zhao Feng wouldn''t do that kind of thing." Zhao Yufei went forward with happiness.


    Just a moment ago, she was worried when she saw Zhao Feng standing off against the Blue Serpent King duo, but at the end of the day, he was still that person in her heart ¨C the person that she admired and chased after.


    "Looks like there are some people who understand." Zhao Feng gave a faint nod toward the direction of Senior Martial Brother Zhuge.


    Zhao Feng might have chased after the Blue Serpent King duo and given them a beating about the problem of the fake Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, but he was too disdainful to actually explain the issue to everyone else.


    Senior Martial Brother Zhuge saw through the non-humans'' true identities in the Building of Refinement, and Zhao Feng admired that.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash of silver and purple, Nan Gongsheng appeared next to Zhao Feng.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!"


    The hearts of some Kings and half-step Kings shook. The complete Demonic Duo had appeared in front of them. The one that attacked a moment ago was Zhao Feng alone.


    "Brother Zhao!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge spoke, "There''s still more than twenty days till the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon charges into Xie Yang Palace. I hope that we humans can work together and face this enemy together."


    In other words, he wished the Demonic Duo would work together with them, or at least not cause any internal conflict.


    Zhao Feng obviously knew what he meant and nodded his head. "The Black Serpent Dragon is unrivalled, so we have to use our intelligence¡­."


    "Does that mean that Brother Zhao has some sort of plan?" A light flashed across Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s eyes.


    The two exchanged glances, but neither of them spoke. Although Zhao Feng no longer had a Mark of Destruction anymore, that didn''t mean Senior Martial Brother Zhuge was the same.


    Roar~~~


    Outside Xie Yang Palace, the black scaled body of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon spun in the air as it used its claws and tail to smash against the God''s Forbidden Array.


    As time passed, more flaws and holes started to appear in the God''s Forbidden Array; its defense was weakening.


    Everyone within Xie Yang Palace was a step closer to death with every moment that passed.


    Zhao Feng knew for sure that the Black Serpent Dragon was unrivalled. After all, it was once an existence that could fight against an Ancient God. At the very minimum, the Black Serpent Dragon was a Demigod, and it most likely had reached the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    "Hahaha¡­! The God''s Forbidden Array is weaker than I thought. I''ll be able to enter Xie Yang Palace within twenty days."


    A crazy laughter sounded in Xie Yang Palace as a surging Intent of Destruction appeared. The heart of anyone who had a Mark of Destruction shook.


    "There''s only twenty days left¡­."


    The hearts of many experts within Xie Yang Palace became heavy.


    On the tree:


    "A lot can happen in twenty days."


    Zhao Feng slowly got up with a calm gaze.


    It wasn''t as if he hadn''t been in such dangerous situations before. Back in the day, he entered the Purple Saint Ruins as an outsider and faced three two-star forces by himself as a mere Spirit Realm. The Pursuit of Death was also extremely dangerous; he was chased by one of the most ancient and powerful Emperors of the Cang Ocean for several years.


    However, this time, the opponent was an existence that he couldn''t defeat.


    "Let''s go to the Building of Refinement." Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng jumped onto the ground. He remembered that there were still a few complete items on the tattered weapon-rack, including a shield and some arrows.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The geniuses that had chased after the Blue Serpent King duo also returned to the Building of Refinement.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were neither fast nor slow.


    "Let me inspect this substandard God weapon first." Zhao Feng''s gaze landed on the armguard on his arm.


    The material of the armguard seemed like bronze and silver, but it looked extremely normal. However, if one looked closely, one could feel that it was extremely old and interesting.


    "The Misty Spatial World is a supportive Space-type substandard God weapon. Its abilities include storage, moving through space, setting a mark in space, teleportation, and various other things," Nan Gongsheng said with envy.


    Since Nan Gongsheng specialized in Space, he knew a lot more about the legends that were related to the laws of Space. With the help of Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Feng soon understood how to use this substandard God weapon.


    The ancient metal ring on Zhao Feng''s hand was now a thing of the past. The Misty Spatial World had the ability to store items since it had its own Little World, and the space within it was several times bigger than Zhao Feng''s birthplace of Cloud Country.


    Furthermore, this Little World wasn''t merely at the early stages of barely materializing like a normal Emperor''s Little World.


    Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense entered the Misty Spatial World and touched the Little World within. This Little World was similar to the Purple Saint Ruins; it had its own laws, mountains, rivers, air, water, and Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. There were even some beasts and humans.


    "As expected of a substandard God weapon!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but exclaim.


    The best thing about the Misty Spatial World was that it didn''t require the owner to have a high cultivation. Once someone obtained this substandard God weapon, it was the same thing as immediately becoming the ruler of their own Little World.


    As for the storage ability of the Misty Spatial World, since it was a separate dimension based on the Little World, it was much more stable. Even a Demigod would find it hard to damage it.


    Apart from that, the Misty Spatial World also had the ability to move through space and teleport to certain places.


    "In theory, as long as there''s enough power, we can use the Misty Spatial World to instantly return to the Cang Ocean if we set a spatial mark down in the True Martial Sacred Land," Nan Gongsheng said with expectation.


    Return to the Cang Ocean!? Zhao Feng jumped up in fright. The Misty Spatial World had such power?


    "It''s not just the owner of the Misty Spatial World that can teleport. The owner can also transfer other things to faraway locations," Nan Gongsheng added.


    "Ability to transfer?" Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    Although this substandard God weapon didn''t have much battle-power, its supportive abilities were heaven-defying, and its true value was probably close to an Ancient God weapon.


    "Unfortunately, we can''t leave a spatial mark in the outside world from here, otherwise we could just return to the continent any time we wanted. We wouldn''t even need to be scared of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon," Nan Gongsheng added regretfully.


    "Maybe, but maybe not." Zhao Feng shook his head. "The God''s Forbidden Array around Xie Yang Palace is extremely strong, so things that can happen in normal places might not be able to happen here."


    However, even then, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were slightly regretfully. If Zhao Feng had gotten this substandard God weapon in the outside world and left down a spatial mark, he could instantly teleport away from most places.


    Of course, there were some remaining spatial marks on the substandard God weapon itself, but they were much too far away to be sensed, so they couldn''t be used to teleport out of here. Even if he could sense them, Zhao Feng didn''t want to use them. Who knew what kind of deathtrap he might end up in?


    Ceng! Ceng!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng entered the six-sided Building of Refinement.


    "Master." The silver-armored Deng Chao of Sky Suspension Palace sent a private message to Zhao Feng.


    Through Deng Chao, Zhao Feng could see what was happening in the Building of Refinement even if he didn''t enter it.


    In the air inside the Building of Refinement, the progress toward the rusty bronze sword, the curved blade, and the notched axe was much better than before.


    Amongst them, the Ancient God-level rusty bronze sword was still releasing a brilliant beam of green sword-light that interacted with the sword-light that was the Little Sword Saint. They formed a balance in the air, and they even defied the restriction on flying in Xie Yang Palace.


    One could faintly see the Little Sword Saint''s hand touch the rusty bronze sword, and he was covered in the power of the tattered Ancient God sword that even Emperors didn''t dare to touch.


    On the other hand, the other two substandard God weapons were about to be tamed.


    The notched axe landed above the three imperial princes. The Eighth, Ninth, and Thirteenth Princes teamed up and used their secret bloodline technique to finally gain some recognition from this substandard God weapon.


    However, the one with the most progress was the curved blade.


    "Come!" Xuanyuan Wen formed countless waves of light from his hand, which wrapped around the curved blade. At the same time, his Emperor-level Magnificent Power and Intent filled the air, and a weird piece of jade on his neck released a glowing white light that covered his body.


    Weng~~ Jiang!


    The curved blade shook and suddenly turned into a snow-white crystal-scaled blade that landed in the handsome youth''s hand.


    At this moment, a snow-like flash of blade-light slashed through the air, and an indescribable blade-force lit up the crater. The bodies of all the Kings shook, and they felt like their souls were about to shatter.


    Xuanyuan Wen managed to grip the snow-white crystal-scaled blade, and his handsome face went red.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng walked into the Building of Refinement.

 852 Scaring the Crowd

    Chapter 852 - Scaring the Crowd


    When Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng entered the Building of Refinement, their senses were covered by a flashing blade that lit up the entire area. It felt like an icy cold feeling slashed through their mental energy.


    The beaming snow-white blade-light sliced through the air, and waves of snowy lightning seemed to almost slash the entire dimension into pieces.


    "Xuanyuan Wen succeeded!"


    Exclamations sounded from within the Building of Refinement. Most experts had wary and respectful expressions.


    Xuanyuan Wen was indeed worthy of being a prodigy of the four-star Sky Suspension Palace. He had become an Emperor at such a young age, and he was recognized by a substandard God weapon.


    He was ranked 7th on the Imperial Genius rankings, which was the highest ranked cultivator amongst those that had entered the Divine Illusion Dimension. If he was able to leave the Divine Illusion Dimension, he would definitely go up a few ranks.


    "As expected of a substandard God weapon¡­." Zhao Feng''s footsteps paused for a moment before he continued walking inside the Building of Refinement.


    Although he had obtained a substandard God weapon as well, it was just a support-type weapon with not many offensive capabilities. On the other hand, the force of that substandard God blade had exceeded the limits of an Emperor; it could even threaten Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    Of course, Xuanyuan Wen couldn''t completely and truly control such a substandard God weapon. Just gaining its recognition expended a lot of his energy.


    At this moment, Xuanyuan Wen''s face was red as he circulated all his power to control this substandard God weapon. More precisely, he didn''t aim to control it, just stabilize it.


    "Only Demigods can unleash the true power of a substandard God weapon," Nan Gongsheng murmured, and he and Zhao Feng couldn''t help but think of the Demigod Kun Yun.


    At his peak, Demigod Kun Yun was glorious, and he was considered strong even among Demigods.


    Back at the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng obtained the Sky Locking Bow and the Qiankun Sword, which weren''t even from the highest level of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.


    One could imagine that the Demigod Kun Yun probably had strong Inheritance Sacred weapons, Heaven-grade divine weapons, or even substandard God weapons.


    "Congratulations, Senior Martial Brother Xuanyuan!" The Kings from Sky Suspension Palace revealed joyful expressions as well as some envy and admiration.


    "Protect Junior Martial Brother Xuanyuan!" The apricot-robed girl led some people and guarded around Xuanyuan Wen.


    Whoosh!


    Senior Martial Brother Zhuge also approached and started guarding.


    "No need." Xuanyuan Wen took a deep breath, and his Emperor Intent became tougher and stronger with the force and laws of the substandard God weapon. However, his energy was being expended.


    At the same time, elsewhere in the Building of Refinement.


    "Quick, put some more energy in!"


    The three Great Gan Imperial Princes tried to obtain the notched axe. The Ninth Prince was the strongest, and he was in the middle.


    Their power started to make the notched axe slowly descend.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    The notched axe suddenly turned into the size of a small mountain that almost reached the top of the six-sided building. It gave off a dark light that shook the air.


    At this moment, everyone within the Building of Refinement felt their body become heavy.


    Wah!


    Some of the weaker Kings spat out a mouthful of blood as their bodies shook.


    "Control it!"


    The three princes combined forces and managed to stabilize the mountain-sized notched axe in front of them.


    Weng~


    The giant axe started to slowly compress until it was more than a dozen yards long, and its aura started to fade.


    Because the notched axe was a heavy weapon, it was harder to control, so the three Princes had to combine their strength to stabilize it.


    At this moment, two incomplete substandard God weapons had been obtained.


    The imperials and Sky Suspension Palace had the strongest forces present, so the Kings from other forces obviously didn''t dare to steal from them.


    "Hm? Is that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo¡­!?" someone exclaimed.


    "Watch out, those two thieves are back!"


    Some of the Kings were wary. After all, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo were infamous for ambushing and stealing from others.


    "The only items in the Building of Refinement that are complete seem to be on the weapon-stand," Zhao Feng privately told Nan Gongsheng.


    The Demonic Duo started to walk toward the depths of the crater like nothing was wrong.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, how dare you two come back!? You''re courting death!"


    There were some Kings in the Building of Refinement that didn''t know what was going on, and they thought that they were the fake Purple-Haired Demonic Duo from before. Only the Kings that left and returned had respect in their eyes.


    "Purple¡­ Haired¡­ Demonic¡­ Duo!" Killing intent flashed through Xuanyuan Wen''s eyes after he stabilized the substandard God weapon. In an instant, Magnificent Power and Intent shook the soul-dimension and covered Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    "Junior Martial Brother Xuanyuan, stop!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge wanted to stop him but was a bit too late.


    "Xuanyuan Wen, take the lead, and we''ll capture the Demonic Duo together!" There were many voices that agreed with Xuanyuan Wen attacking the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    The other Kings from Sky Suspension Palace, such as the girl in apricot robes, also didn''t know what was going on and were full of enmity toward Zhao Feng. The fake Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had ambushed even Sky Suspension Palace.


    Boom!


    A Magnificent Power was about to cover Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    Some of the Kings who knew the truth were planning to watch this show because they had seen Zhao Feng defeat the Blue Serpent King duo alone. Would the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo be able to retreat unharmed even against Xuanyuan Wen, an Emperor wielding a substandard God weapon?


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly as he kept on walking. He didn''t even stop.


    Weng~~


    A white mist covered the duo.


    "Little World? Eh¡­? Substandard God weapon¡­?" Xuanyuan Wen was slightly surprised. Although he was an Emperor, he hadn''t formed his own Little World yet. Furthermore, the Misty Spatial World''s Little World wasn''t any average Little World.


    Incredibly, Xuanyuan Wen''s Emperor Intent was like a stone that had fallen into the ocean. There were no signs of any disturbance.


    "How is this possible!? A Little World exists in the physical dimension and doesn''t have much defense against the power of Intent. Furthermore, all Little Worlds and domains are suppressed in Xie Yang Palace, so they can''t unleash their full strength¡­." Xuanyuan Wen was slightly baffled. After becoming an Emperor, he knew a lot more than others.


    "I don''t believe it!" Xuanyuan Wen circulated his Emperor Intent to the maximum, and his Magnificent Power crushed toward Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    Nan Gongsheng''s heart jumped. This Emperor Intent seemed to have the ability to slice through all Intent, and it suppressed his soul.


    However, mockery formed on Zhao Feng''s face, and a weird scene appeared.


    Boom!


    Xuanyuan Wen''s body suddenly shook, and he groaned as thunder and lightning seemed to flash in his soul.


    "Junior Martial Brother Xuanyuan, are you okay?"


    The expressions of the apricot-robed female, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, and company changed dramatically.


    Xuanyuan Wen''s body shook, and his face went red. He almost lost control of the substandard God weapon in his hand. He felt that his Emperor Intent had been blocked by ten thousand arcs of immortal lightning.


    The first time, his Emperor Intent was like a stone that sunk into the ocean, but this time, he was counterattacked. He could feel a numbing sensation from his Emperor Intent.


    "Xuanyuan Wen, you better hold onto your substandard God weapon first." Zhao Feng gave a smile as he and Nan Gongsheng kept walking toward the crater as if nothing happened.


    "You¡­!" Xuanyuan Wen''s face turned green and red as if he had been choked. No one was entirely sure about the situation with the substandard God weapon, but after being distracted just now, Xuanyuan Wen almost lost control of it.


    This scene made the mouths of the other Kings drop open.


    "Those two thieves managed to ignore Xuanyuan Wen''s Emperor Intent?"


    "On top of that, Xuanyuan Wen seems to be the one at a disadvantage?"


    "Junior Martial Brother Xuanyuan needed to stabilize the substandard God weapon and couldn''t use his full strength, which is what allowed the Demonic Duo to succeed."


    Chaos broke out as the Kings started to talk with each other, and the expressions of those planning to watch a show were extremely colorful.


    "Junior Martial Brother Xuanyuan!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s expression was solemn as he put a hand on Xuanyuan Wen''s shoulder.


    "Senior Martial Brother Zhuge¡­." Xuanyuan Wen glanced at Senior Martial Brother Zhuge after stabilizing the substandard God weapon.


    "It''s a long story, but we shouldn''t offend Zhao Feng if we can help it," Senior Martial Brother Zhuge said solemnly.


    Hearing that, the other Kings from Sky Suspension Palace, including the apricot-robed female, were stunned. Although the strength of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo already surprised them, they placed even greater importance on them after hearing Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s words.


    "Those thieves managed to get the Misty Spatial World, and even Xuanyuan Wen can''t suppress them¡­." The Thirteenth Prince gritted his teeth as hatred overtook his face.


    The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun exchanged glances with solemn expressions. They had interacted with Zhao Feng more than once or twice, but every time they met Zhao Feng, he seemed to become more mysterious than before. This opponent was just a bottomless hole; the deeper one went, the more terrified they felt.


    At this moment, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo walked around the crater step by step, and the route they took was the exact same as the Blue Serpent King from before.


    Some of the Kings that had returned told everyone else what happened.


    "The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo from before was the Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon?"


    "They were defeated by Zhao Feng alone, and he stole a substandard God weapon from them?"


    The Kings that received this news were stunned. Even Xuanyuan Wen''s eyes became wary as he looked toward the Demonic Duo after hearing this news.


    At this moment in time, the three strongest forces ¨C Xuanyuan Wen, the three princes, and the Little Sword Saint ¨C were distracted because of the peerless weapons. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng entering at this moment meant that they were scared of nothing.


    "Zhao Feng, if we really fought just now¡­" Nan Gongsheng started to sweat.


    "Our chances of winning against Xuanyuan Wen or the three princes are low, but the situation is under our control." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    Hearing that, Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but look around, and all the Kings from the other forces had wary expressions and didn''t dare to look directly at his eyes.

 853 God Slaying Arrow

    Chapter 853 - God Slaying Arrow


    In the six-sided Building of Refinement, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng slowly walked by the crater toward the depths where the tattered weapon-stand was located.


    All the elite Kings present were dead-silent. No one dared to challenge them after Xuanyuan Wen did and failed.


    The Kings all let out a breath as they warily looked at the backs of the two purple-haired figures with. The duo''s actions caught everyone''s attention.


    Is this the true power of the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor? Nan Gongsheng took a deep breath as complex emotions appeared on his face. He was positive that they managed to successfully suppress everyone present.


    Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng walked with a weird rhythm as they approached the weapon-stand on the other side of the crater.


    The terrifying heat pressured Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body. It was extremely tough even for the Blue Serpent King ¨C who had a strong body and bloodline ¨C to obtain one substandard God weapon on the weapon-stand.


    "Ice Imperial Spear!"


    A layer of ice-blue liquid flowed around Zhao Feng''s body and formed a transparent ice-blue barrier.


    Weng~~


    The ice-blue barrier was one yard long, and it protected Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    Shu~~~


    Steam appeared on the surface of the ice-blue barrier as the heat started to erode it. As they truly got close to the weapon-stand, the terrifying heat was enough to turn Void God Realm Kings into ashes and injure Emperors.


    A silver-and-purple ripple of light glittered around Nan Gongsheng within the ice-blue barrier and helped resist the heat. However, sweat still started to appear on his forehead, and his feet were about to start burning.


    Weng~~


    A faint golden light flashed around Zhao Feng''s body as he used his strong physical force to take the heat head-on.


    The strength of my bloodline and body might be slightly weaker than Wei Jing, and Nan Gongsheng''s body isn''t as strong as the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon''s¡­. Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled as he came to this conclusion. After all, the Blue Serpent King''s body and bloodline were extremely close to the True Dragon Race, so it was obviously very strong.


    If the weapon-stand was easy to reach, it wouldn''t have been the Blue Serpent King''s or Zhao Feng''s turn; the other Kings would''ve taken everything already. However, Zhao Feng didn''t give up; his left eye locked on to the tattered weapon-stand.


    There were three arrows, a shield, and a thin, dark green jade sword.


    All of those items should be substandard God weapons. It''ll be very hard to obtain them¡­. Zhao Feng thought.


    The Misty Spatial World was a support-type substandard God weapon that didn''t have many offensive capabilities. The spade that the little thieving cat got was probably similar; it was most likely not an offensive weapon. Of the remaining three items, the arrows and the thin sword were offensive weapons while the shield was for defense.


    "Spatial Movement!"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly released a ripple that covered the three arrows, and a whirlpool appeared in the middle of the ripple.


    Weng~~


    The air started to hum as each of the three arrows radiated a divine golden-blood-colored light. The normal-looking rusty arrows became scarlet-gold and released a penetrating divine light.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng felt as if space itself had been pierced, and all the Kings'' souls felt a sharp pain. They felt despair and fear, as if they were ruthlessly slaughtered.


    "Those are God Slaying Arrows!"


    "Although those arrows are small, they are each comparable to a substandard God weapon. Their combined value isn''t any less than a normal substandard God weapon."


    The experts from Sky Suspension Palace and the imperials recognized these arrows.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had to face a sharp, penetrating aura that seemed able to pierce through Heaven and Earth.


    Nan Gongsheng''s body became slightly cold. Although he was facing the terrifying heat of the furnace, his heart was cold.


    "These three arrows are smaller, so they should be easier to obtain compared to the substandard God weapons that Xuanyuan Wen and the imperials obtained¡­."


    Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same. Even if they were also substandard God weapons, these three arrows didn''t have as many materials, and they hadn''t been wielded by powerful experts like the other substandard God weapons. The other weapons had the Intents and laws of powerful experts fused into their essence.


    Instinctively, Zhao Feng felt that obtaining these three arrows would be easier than the other weapons. The most important thing was that these three arrows had no owners.


    "Zhao Feng, do you have any ideas? If can get your hands on those those three God Slaying Arrows and use them with your Sky Locking Bow, you''ll be able to unleash unimaginable power," Nan Gongsheng said with slight interest.


    "It''s not too hard to obtain the arrows themselves, but getting to the weapon-stand is. It would be good if we could get the three God Slaying Arrows to fly out by themselves."


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    The heat at the very center was something that even Emperors couldn''t withstand. The Blue Serpent King couldn''t do it, and Zhao Feng couldn''t either unless his Sacred Lightning Body suddenly broke through to a higher level or became extremely resilient against fire. Unfortunately, Zhao Feng still hadn''t cultivated the Fire of Wind Lightning yet.


    Miao miao!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat appeared holding a spade.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng both glanced at the spade that the little thieving cat was holding. This spade also came from the weapon-stand.


    Dang!


    The little thieving cat dug the spade into the ground, and sparks flew everywhere as a small hole appeared in the special material of the floor.


    Weng~~


    At the same time, the arrows, the shield, and the thin sword all hummed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The arrows, which were the smallest, flew into the air.


    Bang!


    The shield fell onto the ground, and the thin jade sword floated into the air and radiated a power that belonged to substandard God weapons.


    Nan Gongsheng instantly felt unable to breathe. Zhao Feng had recovered part of his Emperor Intent and his God''s Spiritual Eye was extremely resilient against mental energy, so he wasn''t frightened. However, they both looked at the spade in the little thieving cat''s paws with a weird expression.


    Dang!


    The spade in the little thieving cat''s paws dug into the ground once again.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Some of the legendary materials nearby, such as the God Fallen Metal, all quickly gathered toward this location. The spade in the little thieving cat''s paws was like a magnet as all of the materials flew over.


    This scene made all of the Kings'' eyes bulge out.


    Shua!


    With a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng put them away into his Misty Spatial World.


    Whoosh~~~~!


    At this moment, one of the God Slaying Arrows was flying toward this direction.


    "Come!" Zhao Feng raised his armguard.


    Hu~~ Shua!


    With a layer of white mist, the God Slaying Arrow was devoured.


    "So easy¡­!" The Kings, who were holding their breath, were stunned. This was especially true for the three imperial princes; they used everything they had just to finally obtain one substandard God weapon, and one just flew right into Zhao Feng''s lap.


    "So that''s why. The Misty Spatial World isn''t an ordinary storage treasure ¨C it''s a substandard God rank item. That means it can easily store other substandard God items. Furthermore, those God Slaying Arrows don''t even have their own consciousness." Nan Gongsheng understood.


    The difficulty of obtaining a substandard God weapon by using another substandard God item was much lower than without one. If the three princes had their own substandard God storage item, they would''ve been able to tame the notched axe just as easily.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The other two God Slaying Arrows flew in different directions, and the other Kings'' souls almost exploded. Fear filled their bodies.


    The God Slaying Arrows weren''t the only items that were disturbed; the thin jade sword was as well.


    "Quick! Don''t let the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo get all those substandard God weapons!"


    Some of the Kings from the imperials, Sky Sword Pavilion, the Duanmu Family, and the other forces all took action.


    Of the imperials, the Domain-level Luo Zun and wrinkled elder charged toward one of the God Slaying Arrows, while the cold black-robed female from Sky Sword Pavilion and Zhao Yufei charged toward the thin jade sword.


    "We can''t just ignore substandard God weapons. How about I go test the strength of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo?" The girl in apricot robes from Sky Suspension Palace gave a smile.


    Shua!


    The apricot-robed female flew forward with a flash of multi-colored light, and her speed was greater than some Domain-level Kings.


    At this moment in time, everyone was fighting against each other, and the source of that was the little thieving cat.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat dug the spade into the ground once again, and the shield hummed as a green beast phantom formed.


    Because the weight and size of the shield was so different, it wasn''t disturbed in the same way.


    "In terms of offense, I have the Qiankun Sword, but I can''t fully unleash its power. This shield is perfect for me." Fierceness flashed through Nan Gongsheng''s eyes. After he spoke, a wicked silver-purple light radiated from his body, and a purple-and-blood-colored haze seeped out from him that made the nearby auras tremble.


    This was a power that belonged to an Evil God, and its effect was comparable to Zhao Yufei''s natural bloodline ability.


    Weng~~


    As if sensing something, the shield in front of the weapon-stand suddenly expanded to look like a small bronze door, and the ancient green beast phantom seemed to become real as it suddenly roared.


    The door-sized shield finally floated into the air and radiated the pressure of a substandard God weapon. It was more complete, so it was even better than the ones obtained by Xuanyuan Wen and the imperials. However, this meant that the pressure Nan Gongsheng had to face increased.


    "Don''t force it," Zhao Feng warned. The most likely reason that the beast-phantom shield had sensed something was because of the Evil God Crystal.


    Only Demigods and Gods could truly use the power of substandard God weapons. After learning the Holy Wicked Technique, Nan Gongsheng''s mastery of the Evil God Crystal''s power had reached an entirely new level, otherwise he wouldn''t have been able to raise the shield''s attention.


    "Go!" A pair of green shoes on Zhao Feng''s feet released a jet of green flames, and a golden light of physical force sparkled around him. An ice-blue barrier covered Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng as they reached the place where the Blue Serpent King duo had reached earlier.


    Shu~~~~!


    Smoke emanated from Zhao Feng''s green shoes due to the extreme heat. Since the heat came mainly from the ground, the shoes blocked most of the heat for Zhao Feng.


    Nan Gongsheng didn''t have a strong body, so he stepped onto Zhao Feng''s shoulders. He revealed a grateful look; while Zhao Feng was trying to chase after the other God Slaying Arrows, he took the time to help Nan Gongsheng.


    Voom!


    Silver-purple whips formed in Nan Gongsheng''s hand, and he launched them through the air and managed to wrap around the bronze beast-phantom shield.

 854 Immortal Soul

    Chapter 854 - Immortal Soul


    One of Nan Gongsheng''s feet stepped onto Zhao Feng''s shoulder, so his entire body was above the ground. This meant that he had to only face 50-60% of the heat.


    Whoosh!


    An Earth-grade silver whip in his hand managed to finally wrap itself around the bronze beast-phantom shield with a flash of purple and silver.


    Shu~~


    The Earth-grade silver whip showed signs of melting.


    Sii!


    The terrifying heat travelled across the whip and Nan Gongsheng''s palm started to smoke, but luckily, he was in Zhao Feng''s Ice Imperial Barrier, which decreased the heat.


    "Come!" Nan Gongsheng circulated the Holy Wicked Technique and his spatial techniques. A silver ripple formed near the surface of the Earth-grade weapon, and a large suction force appeared.


    Shua!


    The bronze shield was pulled over and the pressure of a substandard God weapon surged, almost exceeding Nan Gongsheng''s limits. Nan Gongsheng''s face went completely red, but he activated his spatial domain at the critical moment, and a layer of purple-and-blood-colored mist rippled throughout the area.


    At this instant, a purple-and-blood-colored mark on Nan Gongsheng''s forehead blinked, and his hair turned completely purple and red. The wicked power radiating from him increased to a new level.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    His spatial domain, which had fused with the Evil God Crystal, seemed to have the ability of a Little World as a bright beam of purple-and-blood-colored light engulfed the shield.


    "Success!" Excitement and joy flashed across Nan Gongsheng''s eyes.


    Zhao Feng had a praising expression. At the critical moment, Nan Gongsheng''s use of the Evil God Crystal became perfect. After cultivating the Holy Wicked Technique, Nan Gongsheng''s control of the Evil God Crystal had reached a stunning level.


    The core of Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain was the Evil God Crystal, and it was supported by many substandard God crystals. It could be said that, against any domain that wasn''t a Little World, Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain was unrivalled.


    Sii!


    Nan Gongsheng''s hand started to burn, and he immediately released the melting Earth-grade weapon.


    "Retreat for now." Zhao Feng gave a moan as his feet started to burn as well. He had stayed at the same location even longer than the Blue Serpent King.


    One had to know that the Blue Serpent King''s body and bloodline were close to the True Dragon Race, and an Ice Dragon at that.


    Shu~~~~


    The shoes on Zhao Feng''s feet started to smoke, and they almost caught fire.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng circulated his physical force, and he shot out of the area like a rocket as he headed in the direction of another God Slaying Arrow.


    Crack!


    The instant he left the ground, Zhao Feng''s shoes unleashed a jet of green flames before turning black.


    Whoosh~~~~!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng left the area they were just standing at an extremely fast speed. Their target was the second God Slaying Arrow.


    There was now a total of two God Slaying Arrows, and several Void God Realm Kings were fighting for the nearest one. Regardless of anything else, it was still a substandard God weapon.


    The one who had the biggest advantage at the moment was the apricot-robed female from Sky Suspension Palace.


    "Come!" The apricot-robed female gently tapped out with her finger, and beams of three-colored light revolved in the air and interacted with the God Slaying Arrow.


    In comparison to other weapons, it was easier to obtain the God Slaying Arrow.


    The nearby Kings were pushed back by the powerful three-colored ray of light before they could even get close. This apricot-robed female was one of the three powerhouses of Sky Suspension Palace.


    "This God Slaying Arrow is mine," Zhao Feng said expressionlessly.


    The apricot-robed female smiled and said, "If you have the ability, then come take it."


    Substandard God weapons were something that even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords and Demigods couldn''t resist.


    The apricot-robed female was interested in how strong Zhao Feng was, so she wanted to test his strength out.


    "Let me handle this." Nan Gongsheng snickered coldly as he turned into a flash of silver-and-purple and flashed toward the apricot-robed female.


    The apricot-robed female felt a surge of enormous wicked power crush over, and this force had the power of Space merged into in. It was as quick as lightning and extremely hard to counter.


    "Triple Layered Lotus Flame!" the apricot-robed female yelled, and a three-colored light on her body suddenly shook and formed three lotuses.


    At this instant, the three lotuses seemed to blossom. Furthermore, every layer of these lotuses had different elements. The green, red, and purple colors represented wind, fire, and lightning respectively.


    Boom! Peng!


    The three blossoming layered lotuses clashed together against the wave of purple-and-silver.


    "This female is even slightly stronger than Peak-tier Kings¡­." Nan Gongsheng''s expression became serious as a layer of purple-and-blood-colored light with sparkles of silver appeared around him. The sparkles of silver radiated a wicked force that could make the expressions of even Emperors change.


    Crack! Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng pushed his hands out, and the spatial domain behind him broke through the spatial domain of the apricot-robed female.


    This person is so strange! The apricot-robed female''s face went red as she retreated.


    This scene caused Xuanyuan Wen''s and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s expressions to change.


    "The news about Nan Gongsheng being terrifying in terms of physical attacks isn''t fake, and he has indeed merged an Evil God Crystal into his spatial domain," Senior Martial Brother Zhuge murmured.


    The most mysterious and scary person of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was obviously Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng''s cultivation was low. Apart from the fact that his body was relatively strong, his other physical aspects weren''t. Zhao Feng was terrifying because of his abilities in the soul-dimension.


    One was a monster in the physical dimension while the other was heaven-defying in the soul-dimension. The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was the perfect combination.


    "Come!" Zhao Feng laughed as a layer of white mist blinked and engulfed the silver God Slaying Arrow.


    The apricot-robed female steadied herself as waves shook her heart. The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo hadn''t even attacked her together; the more-mysterious Zhao Feng had done nothing. Nan Gongsheng alone was able to suppress her.


    In just one exchange, the apricot-robed female was pushed back, and the second God Slaying Arrow was obtained by Zhao Feng.


    At the same moment, the third God Slaying Arrow was obtained by Luo Zun and the wrinkled elder. Zhao Feng shook his head and didn''t try to force things.


    As for the last substandard God weapon, the fight for the thin jade sword had reached the last stages as well.


    "Eighteen Heaven Sword!"


    A powerful beam of Sword Intent shot out from the eyes of the black-robed female from Sky Sword Pavilion, and a half-transparent crystal sword formed a whirlwind of sword-light.


    Boom! Boom! Shua!


    Every time the crystal sword moved, whirlwinds would roar. In the outside world, it would be enough to rip apart mountains and lakes.


    Normal Void God Realm Kings weren''t able to block even one sword of hers. In terms of strength, she was comparable to Jiu Wuji before he had entered Xie Yang Palace.


    However, her opponent was even stronger.


    Ding! Ding! Ding¡­!


    A purple figure flew into the air. Her skin was like crystal as it easily blocked the barrage of attacks.


    "You''re not my match." Zhao Yufei extended a jade-like hand that didn''t seem to even belong to a human, and a ripple of purple instantly ripped apart the black-robed girl''s offense.


    The black-robed girl had already used her killing moves, but she wasn''t able to even injure the opponent. A bitter smile formed on her face.


    Ceng! Ceng!


    Right at this moment, a layer of silver-and-purple flew over to where they were fighting.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo!"


    The black-robed girl''s expression changed as she revealed a wary look.


    The Little Sword Saint had turned into a sword at the moment and was currently in a mysterious state. He was probably the only one who could handle this most-troublesome Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.


    "Yufei, allow me to help you." Zhao Feng waved his hand, and the white mist of a Little World blocked the dark green jade sword from escaping.


    "Brother Feng, you came just in time." Zhao Yufei revealed a joyful expression as she circulated her Little World and formed a pincer attack with Zhao Feng. At the same time, her Spiritual Race bloodline summoned a large surge of Yuan Qi, which covered the dark green jade sword.


    Nan Gongsheng waved his hands, and silver-purple beams shot toward the substandard God weapon.


    A while later, with their combined power, Zhao Yufei managed to successfully obtain the thin jade sword.


    "Thanks, Brother Feng and Senior Martial Brother Nan Gong. This substandard God weapon seems to be of the Wood element, so if I give it to Senior Martial Brother Duanmu, he might be able to unleash more of its power," Zhao Yufei said joyfully.


    It was extremely difficult for Void God Realms to unleash the power of a substandard God weapon. Maybe someone as strong as Xuanyuan Wen could try, but it wouldn''t be very efficient.


    Putting aside substandard God weapons, normal Emperors would find it hard to unleash the full power of an item even for Heaven-grade weapons and Inheritance Sacred weapons.


    Any substandard God weapons obtained here would most likely be given to the forces behind whoever obtained them, and they could become killing cards that could affect the destiny of the entire continent.


    Of course, Zhao Feng''s Misty Spatial World was different. It was only a support-type item, so it didn''t have a high requirement for cultivation.


    Since the Duanmu Family had obtained one substandard God weapon, they were obviously overjoyed, but the one and only Ancient God weapon in the Building of Refinement hadn''t been obtained yet.


    In the air, the sword-light that was the Little Sword Saint started to merge with the rusty bronze sword that was giving off a green sword-light. Everyone could see that the Little Sword Saint''s hand was already on the tattered Ancient God sword.


    "So weird. The Little Sword Saint''s True Yuan and life aura have reached the limit, but his soul and Sword Intent have reached an entirely new level." Zhao Feng was surprised by what his left eye saw.


    The Little Sword Saint had burned his True Yuan and soul to turn into a sword, but this actually increased the power of his soul.


    In theory, if one''s soul became stronger, their lifespan would also rise, but unfortunately, the Little Sword Saint''s body had reached its limit. His lifeforce was starting to wither.


    "Senior Sword Saint gained the recognition of the Ancient God weapon, but unfortunately, his life has reached its end¡­." The black-robed girl and company from Sky Sword Pavilion had regretful and sympathetic expressions, and everyone present revealed respectful looks.


    Some Kings sighed and started to retreat. Apart from the Little Sword Saint, no one else had such a high understanding of the Sword Dao or the courage to give up their life and transform into a sword. The only one that the Ancient God sword recognized was the Little Sword Saint.


    Zhao Feng spoke in a solemn tone, "Although life will always come to an end, the soul can remain immortal."


    Immortal soul? The black-robed girl and company from Sky Sword Pavilion shook and couldn''t help but start to think.


    Weng~ Jiang!


    As if sensing something, the bright sword-light that the Little Sword Saint had turned into suddenly started to dim.

 855 Summoning of the Evil God

    Chapter 855 - Summoning of the Evil God


    In the air, the bright sword-light that was the Little Sword Saint suddenly started to dim, and the laws of the Sword Dao started to spin.


    "Little Sword Saint!"


    The Little Sword Saint had a smile as his flesh started to become transparent. The smile on his face was still casual and nonchalant.


    He first glanced at those from Sky Sword Pavilion, then the others within the Building of Refinement. Amongst that second group, the Little Sword Saint''s gaze landed on Zhao Feng, and he nodded his head toward the latter.


    "His understanding of the Sword Dao has reached an unfathomable level, and he has given up on life¡­." Zhao Feng was filled with respect.


    Zhao Feng sensed that the Little Sword Saint''s understanding of the Sword Dao had reached the level of a peak Emperor, or perhaps even the level of a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord.


    However, the Mystic Light Realm was different from the Void God Realm. It wasn''t just a simple change in the soul; it also placed great importance on the physical aspects. This meant that, even if one''s soul reached the requirements to advance, it wouldn''t be easy to break through to the Mystic Light Realm if they didn''t have the corresponding physical ability.


    Now, Zhao Feng couldn''t even see the level of the Little Sword Saint''s Sword Dao comprehension. One thing was for sure though ¨C the Little Sword Saint''s understanding and mastery of the Sword Dao had exceeded all the experts that Zhao Feng had ever seen, including the Sword Dao Emperors from the True Martial Sacred Land.


    The Little Sword Saint''s flesh started to become fainter like melting snow.


    "You¡­ what did you say to Senior Sword Saint?" The black-robed girl and company looked at Zhao Feng with enmity and dissatisfaction.


    The Little Sword Saint hadn''t reached the end of his life yet, but Zhao Feng said something, and the Little Sword Saint''s lifeforce suddenly started to fade faster.


    "So unfortunate. Your life and soul reached their limit at the last moment, otherwise you would just need to take over another body and re-cultivate. Breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm wouldn''t have been a problem in the future," Zhao Feng said regretfully.


    It was hard for someone to take over another body with just Intent or a Partial Thought.


    Intent and Partial Thoughts were made from mental energy and understanding of laws. They didn''t have anything to do with the soul on their own. The lowest requirement to take over a body was a Partial Soul since that contained a piece of the actual soul.


    Before Demigod Kun Yun was reborn through blood, he had imprinted the aura of his soul into the flesh of his Immortal Sacred Body with a special technique when he was still alive. It was because of this that Kun Yun only needed one drop of blood and a Partial Thought to revive.


    However, the little saint''s life and soul reached their limit after they were ignited, which was basically the equivalent of complete death. His life and soul were what was fueling his Sword Intent.


    "I die with no regrets after surpassing my previous understanding of the sword." The Little Sword Saint revealed a satisfied smile before he died.


    Weng~ Jiang!


    The next instant, a spiritual sword phantom from which the Little Sword Saint''s aura could be sensed merged into the rusty bronze sword.


    Shua!


    The tattered Ancient God sword started to shake, and a wave of cold green sword-light with unrivalled power forced everyone back.


    However, despite the tattered Ancient God sword''s power, it didn''t harm anyone.


    "Senior Sword Saint!"


    The black-robed girl from Sky Sword Pavilion had a surprised expression as she now held a green tattered sword in her hand.


    At this moment, everyone''s gaze landed on the black-robed girl.


    "She got the Ancient God weapon!"


    "That Mo Dongyao is a prodigy of Sky Sword Pavilion. Looking at the past several thousand years, her talent in the Sword Dao is only below that of the Little Sword Saint''s."


    Everyone''s gaze locked onto the black-robed Mo Dongyao, the prodigy of Sky Sword Pavilion''s young generation. She just fought with Zhao Yufei a moment ago and lost.


    However, after the Little Sword Saint died, everyone was unable to hide the greed in their eyes as they looked at Mo Dongyao. What kind of effect would an Ancient God weapon bring to the entire lord dynasty? Even if it was some tattered piece of crap, it was still a weapon from the domain of Gods and related to the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    That said, normal forces wouldn''t be able to hold onto it even if they managed to steal it. The only forces present with the ability to do so were the imperials and Sky Suspension Palace.


    "Ancient God weapon¡­ probably even we don''t have one." The Thirteenth Prince''s eyes were fiery hot. If he was able to take an Ancient God weapon back to the imperial family, such a feat would greatly increase his chances of winning the competition to be the Sacred Emperor.


    "Let''s go," Zhao Feng suddenly said, and he walked toward the exit with Nan Gongsheng.


    He wasn''t interested in an Ancient God weapon too much. At least, not right now. Putting aside an Ancient God weapon, even substandard God weapons would bring a huge amount of trouble to a Void God Realm. Forces that weren''t at least three-star level wouldn''t be able to protect the tattered Ancient God sword.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng turning around was the exact moment the Thirteenth Prince decided to take action.


    Weng~ Jiang!


    A sword-light suddenly flashed behind Mo Dongyao''s back, and it gave off an immortal Sword Intent that seemed able to slash through Heaven and Earth.


    "Arghhh!"


    All the Kings that were planning on taking action, such as the Thirteenth Prince, felt their minds hurt. Their souls were like candles blowing in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment. Fear and despair overtook their hearts.


    "Hmph!"


    A half-transparent sword-light figure formed the outline of the Little Sword Saint.


    "Spare me! Senior Sword Saint, please spare me!"


    The Kings that were planning on taking action felt like they were facing the Little Sword Saint when he was at his peak. All the Kings suddenly felt like their souls were tiny in comparison.


    Even Xuanyuan Wen''s soul shook. He was like a small tree in a hurricane.


    "A pure soul-type Sword Dao attack¡­ are these the laws of the Soul Sword?" Zhao Feng murmured.


    Mo Dongyao held the tattered Ancient God sword and gave off an immortal and undying Sword Aura. The pressure of an Ancient God weapon suppressed everyone present, and the Kings'' hearts jumped. They didn''t have the ability to even think about fighting back.


    "How is this possible!? How can Mo Dongyao control the Ancient God weapon¡­?" The Thirteenth Prince''s face was white, and he felt unable to breathe. At this moment, Mo Dongyao could kill him with just a thought.


    Even normal Emperors wouldn''t dare to clash with Mo Dongyao head-on right now.


    "Mo Dongyao is just the wielder. The true controller of the tattered Ancient God sword is the Little Sword Saint." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge took a deep breath.


    The Little Sword Saint gained the recognition from the tattered Ancient God sword, then turned into a soul sword and merged with it. This meant that the Little Sword Saint could decide who got to control the Ancient God weapon. To a certain extent, the Little Sword Saint was basically a sword spirit now.


    "Little Friend," an old voice sounded from the half-transparent sword-light figure behind Mo Dongyao''s back.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng''s footsteps stopped. He turned around and looked toward Mo Dongyao, confirming that the voice was calling him.


    "Senior Sword Saint, is there anything you need?" Zhao Feng didn''t dare to be disrespectful. Even thought he had given up his life and now existed as a spirit, the Little Sword Saint was countless times stronger than before in his current state.


    "Little Friend." The old voice gave a sigh. "There''s only twenty days left till the Black Serpent Dragon charges into Xie Yang Palace, and no one will be able to survive. I hope you can help everyone resolve the danger."


    Hearing that, everyone was stunned. The Little Sword Saint placed his hope on one of the Demonic Duo? Not Xuanyuan Wen or the three princes, but a wicked youth that was infamous for stealing?


    However, they had to admit that no one here could see through Zhao Feng, and they were full of wariness and caution toward him.


    "Me?" Zhao Feng laughed, as if he had heard a joke. His expression was saying, You want a thief to save everyone? Isn''t that a bit childish?


    "I don''t know where you come from nor your background, but I can confirm that, out of everyone here, you''re the most likely one to succeed. This isn''t just my instinct; the Ancient God weapon feels the same," the old voice said solemnly.


    The Ancient God weapon? Zhao Feng''s heart shook. Could the Ancient God weapon sense the existence of his Ninth God''s Eye? His left eye-bloodline came from a deity in the Ancient Era, and the Ancient God weapon was a weapon of Gods and was related to the domain of the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    "If you can take the Sky Sword Pavilion members and escape, I will owe you a favor," the white sword-light figure promised.


    "Deal." A light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes. Although the Little Sword Saint''s life had come to an end, his current state was even more terrifying than before. Besides, Zhao Feng alone wasn''t enough to deal with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon anyway.


    A while later, the leaders of all the forces gathered in front of the Building of Refinement. This time, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng weren''t acting alone.


    "That purple crystal tower is the core of Xie Yang Palace," Zhao Feng said as everyone''s gaze landed on the magnificent purple crystal tower that shot into the sky.


    The tower was at the very center of Xie Yang Palace, and its pressure shook all the Kings'' hearts.


    "The key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains and the center of the God''s Forbidden Array are most likely there," Senior Martial Brother Zhuge said.


    Since the danger of the Black Destruction Serpent King was coming closer, no one had the heart to search for other fortune in Xie Yang Palace. Although they might''ve only scouted out one-tenth or even one-one hundredth of the fortune within Xie Yang Palace, what was the point if you couldn''t leave with it alive?


    "Let''s go." The Great Gan Imperials were the first to leave and head in the direction of the purple crystal tower. Those from the Sky Suspension Palace, the Duanmu Family, and company then followed.


    "Let''s go." Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng also headed toward the purple crystal tower, and the group from Sky Sword Pavilion followed behind the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    "If it wasn''t for Senior Sword Saint, I wouldn''t follow these two thieves." Mo Dongyao''s face was cold and unwilling, but they felt calm for some reason when following the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    We''re getting closer to the call of that power¡­. The purple-and-blood-colored symbol on Nan Gongsheng''s forehead started to become hotter. It was like a second heart as it thumped on his forehead.

 856 Evil Sky Tower

    Chapter 856 - Evil Sky Tower


    The danger was slowly approaching, and all the elites within Xie Yang Palace began to make their way toward the purple crystal tower at the very center.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were currently with the people of Sky Sword Pavilion because of the deal between Zhao Feng and the Little Sword Saint.


    As of right now, resolving the threat of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is the most important thing. Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    They hadn''t scouted much in Xie Yang Palace. At the very most, they had only seen one tenth of the palace. However, no amount of treasure was as important as their lives.


    Everyone had less than twenty days left, which was why Zhao Feng agreed to the Little Sword Saint so quickly. If Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were concerned with profit at this point, they wouldn''t have joined a group since it was easier by themselves.


    On the way, Zhao Feng found that the wicked power within Nan Gongsheng''s body was acting unusually, and Nan Gongsheng''s expression was solemn but excited.


    For now, Nan Gongsheng can still maintain his attitude, but the Evil God Crystal is corrupting him more and more. Who knows how long the Mind Calming Pearl, Water Soul Pearl, and Green Water Sky Lotuses will have an effect¡­? Zhao Feng was slightly worried.


    He would respect Nan Gongsheng''s decision; he agreed to help, so he would.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The purple crystal tower in sight started to become bigger. Every bit closer they got, the stronger the force from the purple crystal tower.


    "The purple crystal tower contains a supreme power. Just the slightest bit of aura leaking from it is so terrifying." Mo Dongyao''s tattered Ancient God sword sensed something.


    She then glanced toward Nan Gongsheng. Everyone''s heart started to thump under the terrifying aura, and even the True Yuan within their body started to tremble uneasily. Only Nan Gongsheng was excited, and some force within his body was extremely active.


    Although the purple crystal tower didn''t seem far away, it was. A couple hours after they left, the imperials and Sky Suspension Palace arrived first.


    "What a terrifying aura! This purple crystal tower probably contains some of the remaining power of the Evil God Xie Yang." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge had a solemn expression.


    No one knew why the sealed power within the purple crystal tower started to become active, but the pressure radiating from it almost made everyone unable to use their True Yuan at all.


    The groups from the Duanmu Family, Sky Sword Pavilion, and some other forces soon arrived as well.


    "Other people have been here before." Nan Gongsheng''s nose twitched as the scarlet-golden nose ring shook slightly.


    This scarlet-golden nose ring came from a golden skeleton within a ruined city, and it had a super sense of smell. It could be used to track others and even smell the element of various treasures.


    Zhao Feng''s shoes came from the golden skeleton as well, but they exploded after being damaged in the Building of Refinement.


    As soon as Nan Gongsheng said that:


    Plop!


    The silent door to the purple crystal tower opened, and two figures rolled out.


    "It''s Jiu Wuji."


    A bald male in dark battle robes caught everyone''s attention. Both of these figures were from Nine Darkness Palace.


    Jiu Wuji was able to steady his emotions a bit, but he was unable to hide the shock on his face. The other King was ruffled and seemed as if he had lost his soul.


    "Brother Jiu, what''s the situation like inside the tower?" a King asked curiously.


    "This tower should be the Ancient God Xie Yang''s place of cultivation, and it contains a terrifying power that suppresses all outside forces."


    Jiu Wuji forced himself to calm down and take a deep breath. The two figures sat on the ground and were drenched in cold sweat.


    "We didn''t see any living things in the tower, but our souls and True Yuan were completely suppressed. We couldn''t even use them," the other King said with shock.


    "Both the soul and True Yuan were suppressed?"


    Xuanyuan Wen and company all looked at each other as they started to analyze the situation within the purple crystal tower. Without a doubt, the purple crystal tower should be the center of Xie Yang Palace.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment in time, the groups from some other forces could be seen around the purple crystal tower. Amongst them were the forces from the Ji Family, Grand Duke Qi''s Palace, and the Jiang Family.


    "We can''t enter its depths," Ji Lan said.


    The various forces were all spread out in Xie Yang Palace, and some forces had arrived earlier than others. There might''ve been a small number of groups still in places like the Building of Refinement or dark book room, but as time passed, everyone would approach the center of Xie Yang Palace from the threat of dying to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Ceng! Whoosh!


    A male in a t-shirt landed on a roof of the purple crystal tower.


    "Xin Wuheng!"


    The male in the t-shirt was alone, and he stood out.


    Xin Wuheng stood with his hands behind his back, and he had a solemn expression as he looked over the groups from the Sky Suspension Palace, the imperials, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, and Mo Dongyao.


    "This purple crystal tower is called the Evil Sky Tower, and it has some remaining God power left. Although it''s very weak and not even one thousandth of its peak, it can suppress anything below the Demigod level." Xin Wuheng let out a long breath.


    Evil Sky Tower? Everyone felt weird. How did Xin Wuheng know the name of this tower?


    "Xin Wuheng, does that mean you''ve already entered it?" Zhao Feng asked.


    Xin Wuheng nodded his head. He had indeed gone inside, but he failed. In addition, Xin Wuheng had already done some scouting; all of the buildings around the Evil Sky Tower were important, and many of them had the God''s Forbidden Array guarding them.


    "The Evil Sky Tower still has a bit of God power remaining. It suppresses True Yuan the strongest, then the soul and body. In other words, the higher cultivation one has, the more of a disadvantage they''ll have," Xin Wuheng explained.


    The failures of Jiu Wuji and Xin Wuheng made most of the people give up on the Evil Sky Tower.


    "I want to try," Nan Gongsheng said. The purple-and-blood-colored mark on his forehead blinked, and the summoning sensation was more than ten times stronger than before.


    "I don''t have a problem with that." Xin Wuheng glanced toward Nan Gongsheng as if he was thinking about something. "I came here to tell you all some more important news."


    It was obvious that Xin Wuheng wasn''t very interested in the Evil Sky Tower itself. The most important task was how to escape from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Important news?" Everyone''s eyes landed on Xin Wuheng''s face.


    Xin Wuheng was the same as Zhao Feng; they were both mysterious figures shrouded in mist, and none of the Kings were able to see through them.


    "I''ve found the core of the God''s Forbidden Array," Xin Wuheng said straightforwardly.


    Hearing this, everyone''s heart shook.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon mentioned two points when threatening them:


    The first was the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains and the second was the core of the God''s Forbidden Array. Obtaining the key or destroying the core would spare them from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s wrath. No one expected that Xin Wuheng had already found it.


    "Puny humans, the God''s Forbidden Array is full of flaws, but if you destroy the core, I will spare you."


    A voice that reign supreme sounded in the ears of everyone present. The Black Serpent Dragon''s voice could be clearly heard by those who had the Mark of Destruction.


    "God''s Forbidden Array? Take us there quickly! This may be our chance to turn the tide." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge revealed a joyful expression, and Zhao Feng also revealed some emotions. Senior Martial Brother Zhuge''s thoughts were the same as his own.


    "That''s my plan as well. My strength is limited." Xin Wuheng nodded his head. He found the core to the God''s Forbidden Array, but his strength was limited, so he was unable to turn the tide alone.


    "Puny humans, you can''t control the God''s Forbidden Array nor use it to threaten me," the Black Serpent Dragon mocked.


    In Xie Yang Palace, the God''s Forbidden Array could be considered a big net that covered everything inside and out. As long as they found the core gain control of it, they would be able to control the entire God''s Forbidden Array as well.


    This was the first thought that Zhao Feng had when he entered Xie Yang Palace. It wasn''t just him that had this plan either; there was also Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, Xin Wuheng, and some others.


    There were also people that were thinking about the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains. If they were able to obtain the key, they could use it to threaten the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. After all, there was very likely only one key.


    "The core of the God''s Forbidden Array is behind us." Xin Wuheng turned around, and everyone saw a dark silver building made of a metallic material, and it didn''t have an entrance. There was no way to enter, and before they could even get close, they felt an enormous force from the God''s Forbidden Array.


    "This building is called the God''s Array Building, and all the switches to the Forbidden Array are located here," Xin Wuheng explained, and the various groups started to head toward the God''s Array Building.


    The Evil Sky Tower and the God''s Array Building were right next to each other.


    Of course, there was still a small number of people that stayed next to the Evil Sky Tower and didn''t give up. Amongst them were Xuanyuan Wen, the Ninth Prince, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, Zhao Yufei, Luo Zun, and Mo Dongyao.


    There were more than a dozen Kings that wanted to give it a try.


    "It doesn''t matter if you give it a try." Xin Wuheng wasn''t against it. "Just know when to give up. Although the Evil Sky Tower won''t threaten your life, it can do some strange stuff."


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    As soon as those words finished, all the figures started to head toward the Evil Sky Tower. After all, the Evil Sky Tower was where the Ancient God Xie Yang cultivated, and it was the center of Xie Yang Palace.


    The others gathered at the God''s Array Building and tried to find a way to enter it.


    "There''s nothing wrong with just witnessing the power of a God."


    Xuanyuan Wen entered the Evil Sky Tower with the fastest speed. Behind him was the Ninth Prince, Zhao Yufei, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, and the rest.


    The Ninth Prince was originally ranked 13th on the Imperial Genius rankings, but his cultivation had reached the Peak-tier King level after entering Xie Yang Palace.


    Hu~~ Boom!


    The instant they stepped into the Evil Sky Tower, a wicked aura appeared. It seemed able to shatter Heaven and Earth.


    The weaker Kings almost spat out blood, and Zhao Feng felt his body become heavy as the True Yuan in his body seemed to freeze.


    "True Yuan is almost completely restricted here."


    Some of the Void God Realm Kings felt extremely troubled after entering the tower.


    Since Zhao Feng''s level of True Yuan was the lowest, he just gave up control of his True Yuan and let the aura suppress it.

 857 The Power of a God

    Chapter 857 - The Power of a God


    The wicked aura within the Evil Sky Tower suppressed the True Yuan of all normal experts. The present Void God Realm Kings felt like their True Yuan was frozen.


    The more one resisted, the stronger the force. Therefore, Zhao Feng made the smart decision and just allowed the aura to suppress his True Yuan. This would lower the pressure he had to face.


    Plop!


    On the other hand, one Void God Realm King instinctively circulated his True Yuan and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell to the ground. He didn''t get up for a long time.


    The difference between these people was immediately seen. Those at the very front were Xuanyuan Wen, Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and Mo Dongyao. After them were Peak-tier Kings such as the Ninth Prince, while behind them were Domain-level Kings such as Luo Zun.


    "The power within the Evil God Tower isn''t something that we can touch¡­."


    "No wonder even Xin Wuheng failed."


    The faces of several normal Kings went red after taking just a few steps, and they wanted to leave. They could only watch as the first group went further.


    "The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo can walk at the very front!? Zhao Feng hasn''t even reached the Void God Realm yet!" Luo Zun was angry.


    The reason Xuanyuan Wen could walk at the very front was because of his cultivation and strength. As an Emperor-level prodigy of a four-star power, he was powerful even among Emperors.


    Zhao Yufei had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race and a unique body.


    Mo Dongyao had the Ancient God weapon protecting her.


    However, it was incredible that Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng could walk at the front as well.


    "Comparatively, the power here suppresses True Yuan the stronger, then the soul and physical body."


    Zhao Feng didn''t find it troublesome to move. In terms of the soul, only Xuanyuan Wen could be compared to him. In terms of physical body, Zhao Feng had reached the fifth level of the Sacred Lightning Body and surpassed almost all other Kings present. After giving up total control of his True Yuan, Zhao Feng was more relaxed than the others.


    However, the most unusual one was Nan Gongsheng. Although his cultivation, body, and soul were all relatively average, he was able to walk at the front. There was even a feeling of floating when he walked, and the wicked power within his body was very active.


    Zhao Feng realized that the wicked force within the Evil God Tower didn''t seem to suppress Nan Gongsheng.


    Nan Gongsheng licked his lips with excitement and expectation.


    A while later, the group of Kings slowly reached the second floor of the Evil God Tower. Everyone found some valuable treasures, and there was a table, a chair, a book, and a drawing in front of them that were unusual.


    The aura that some of these items radiated wasn''t weaker than substandard God weapons. However, the God''s Forbidden Array within the Evil God Tower was extremely complete and had no flaws.


    Even if it wasn''t, no one could take the items due to the suppression of that remaining God power. The pressure on the second floor was much stronger than the first. The five people at the very front were fine, but some of the Kings behind them felt unable to breathe as the pressure increased.


    Apart from the special suppression of True Yuan, the other aspects of the suppression aren''t even as strong as the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same. He entered the Ancient Dream Realm a lot, so he was used to a lot of pressure. It wasn''t too troublesome for him to walk in the Evil God Tower with his powerful soul and body.


    Around the time it took to make tea later, the five geniuses at the very front reached the third floor of the Evil God Tower.


    The scenery on the third floor was different; it was related to the environment that the owner of the Evil God Tower lived in.


    No one paid attention to it; they just kept going further in.


    At this point, some normal Kings had already retreated. If they went any further, they might not have the energy to go back out.


    The first five people didn''t know how many floors the Evil God Tower had, so they just kept on climbing.


    Sometime later, Xuanyuan Wen, Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and Mo Dongyao reached the fifth floor.


    At this time, sweat appeared on Xuanyuan Wen''s forehead, while Zhao Yufei''s breathing rate quickened and her face became red.


    "I will be staying on the fifth floor." Xuanyuan Wen gave a faint smile as he suddenly sat down.


    The other four were baffled; Xuanyuan Wen was the strongest person here. Why wouldn''t he continue?


    "The power in this place is very different from what I cultivate. I just want to stay here and feel the aura of that God power¡­." Xuanyuan Wen revealed a slightly embarrassed expression, and Zhao Feng understood how and why Xin Wuheng failed.


    Xie Yang Palace contained a lot of fortune, but not all of it was suited for everyone. Sky Suspension Palace that Xuanyuan Wen came from was a four-star superpower with its own techniques, while the Evil Sky Tower contained a wicked force that was much different from the techniques he cultivated.


    Instead of taking a risk, it was better for him to know his limits and just feel the remnant power of a God.


    The Heavenly Divine Realm was above mortals ¨C it belonged to the domain of Gods.


    The Heavenly Divine Realm was what came after the Mystic Light Realm. Once one broke through this realm and passed the God Tribulation, they would be recognized by Heaven and Earth itself and become a God.


    The Ancient God Xie Yang was a God-rank expert, and according to the legends, each God had their own positions. For normal experts, this was just a legend, but the power of a God within the Evil Sky Tower made the hearts of some geniuses thump. If they were able to obtain this power, they might be able to touch the domain of Gods.


    This was something that Emperors and Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords would be unable to resist.


    "Feeling the power of a God is a once-in-a-lifetime chance." Xuanyuan Wen closed his eyes.


    This left behind four people at the very front: Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and Mo Dongyao.


    Zhao Yufei''s face started to go pale on the sixth floor, but she was still able to resist since she had a Spiritual Race bloodline. On the other hand, Mo Dongyao relied more on the Ancient God weapon for protection.


    "Yufei, Lady Mo, why don''t you two give up? The fortune within the Evil Sky Tower is probably dangerous, and it might not even be suitable for you two," Zhao Feng said.


    Xin Wuheng may not have even entered the next floor.


    "Brother Feng, Senior Martial Brother Nan Gong, be careful¡­."


    Zhao Yufei didn''t continue. Maybe the Spiritual Race bloodline could still take her higher, but she could see that the fortune within the Evil Sky Tower wasn''t suitable for her.


    "Sorry, but I need to continue. This is what Senior Sword Saint wants," Mo Dongyao replied, and the tattered Ancient God sword in her hand released a faint green sword-light that surrounded her.


    "Okay."


    Zhao Feng didn''t force her. The Little Sword Saint had given up on his physical body and merged with the Ancient God weapon, so his understanding and mastery of the Sword Dao had reached an incredible level.


    Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!


    Only Zhao Feng and two others were left walking in the Evil Sky Tower.


    On the way up, the purple-and-blood-colored mark on Nan Gongsheng''s forehead flickered, and his hair had become the same color as the mark, which now differed with Zhao Feng''s dreamy purple hair.


    Weng~~


    A purple-and-blood-colored light glittered around Nan Gongsheng''s body as if it was extremely excited and impatient. Of the three, Nan Gongsheng walked at the very front because the wicked God power within the Evil Sky Tower didn''t suppress him at all.


    On the seventh floor:


    "Nan Gongsheng, stop for now," a cold voice sounded from behind him. It came from the purple-haired youth, who was covered in golden light.


    "Zhao Feng¡­" Nan Gongsheng''s excited and impatient expression dimmed down a bit as he felt a coldness freeze his soul. At this moment, the left eye of the purple-haired youth was like a freezing pond as it froze Nan Gongsheng''s soul.


    How is this possible!? How can he use his eye-bloodline in the Evil Sky Tower? Mo Dongyao couldn''t believe it. She couldn''t unleash her Sword Dao Intent under the pressure of the Evil Sky Tower or any other power, but this youth was still able to use his eye-bloodline?


    Facing Zhao Feng''s left eye-bloodline, Nan Gongsheng''s body shook, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.


    Hu~~


    Nan Gongsheng let out a breath as cold sweat covered his back. He immediately sat down and started to concentrate.


    "Zhao Feng, thank you."


    Nan Gongsheng''s complex expression contained gratitude.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline was unleashed, and his purple hair blew wildly as he released an aura that belonged to the Ancient Era that could scare both Gods and Devils alike. This aura couldn''t be suppressed by the remnant God power within the Evil Sky Tower.


    "The Ancient is broken, and the Ancient Gods slain will turn into endless dust¡­." An old sigh seemed to reverberate throughout Zhao Feng''s mind.


    Peng! Peng!


    At this instant, the God''s Spiritual Eye started to thump, and the nearby wicked aura started to tremble uneasily.


    At the same moment in time, a purple-and-blood-colored figure on the highest floor of the Evil Sky Tower exclaimed, "The aura of an Ancient Deity! What''s the relationship between that eye-bloodline and the Eight Great God Eyes?"


    The pressure from the wicked aura decreased.


    On the 7th floor, Nan Gongsheng''s eyes started to become clear again as he became calm, and he nodded his head solemnly.


    "Let''s go."


    The three continued to walk toward the higher floors of the Evil Sky Tower.


    In the blink of an eye, two days passed. No one knew how many floors they had gone past, but the three finally reached the top.


    The top floor of the Evil Sky Tower was empty apart from a black futon. There was no one here, and the pressure of the God power had reached an extreme here.


    Zhao Feng''s body was stiff to the point where he almost couldn''t move. Even breathing was hard, but luckily, his God''s Spiritual Eye wasn''t affected.


    "Watch out!" Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed. He felt an enormous source of mental energy that made even his God''s Spiritual Eye uneasy. He immediately started to inspect everything in the area with his left eye-bloodline, but he was blocked by the remaining power of the Evil God.


    Ta! Ta!


    The purple-and-blood-colored marking on Nan Gongsheng''s forehead started to thump, and a summoning force made him walk toward the black futon in the very middle.


    Zhao Feng immediately used his eye-bloodline to try to stop him but was blocked by the power of the Evil God. He and Mo Dongyao could only watch as Nan Gongsheng arrived at the black futon and sat down as if he was the owner.


    Boom~~~


    The instant Nan Gongsheng sat down, the remaining God power within the entire Evil Sky Tower shook. It was as if space itself was going to crack. A forbidden aura swept across Xie Yang Palace from the Evil Sky Tower and made countless beings tremble in fear.

 858 Evil God Thought Body

    Chapter 858 - Evil God Thought Body


    At this moment, the remnant God power within the Evil Sky Tower started to shake. Zhao Feng and Mo Dongyao saw purple-and-blood-colored light shoot out from the corners of the Evil Sky Tower and interact with the black futon at the very center of the highest floor.


    Nan Gongsheng was sitting on that black futon.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    There seemed to be some kind of source within his body that turned into a heart and summoned the purple-and-blood-colored lights. At the same instant, a forbidden wave of Evil God power swept across the entire Xie Yang Palace, starting from the Evil Sky Tower.


    Within the Evil Sky Tower, Xuanyuan Wen, Zhao Yufei, and company who were in a state of comprehension felt unable to breathe, and the True Yuan and blood within their bodies started to freeze.


    "What happened!? Why is the remnant God power gathering toward the highest floor?"


    Xuanyuan Wen was stunned. Over the past two days, he had been quietly comprehending the remnant God power, and he realized that this power didn''t belong to anyone. Instead, it was contained within the Evil Sky Tower itself.


    Since the remnant God power wasn''t controlled or owned by anyone, it was now extremely faint after so much time had passed. However, despite its faintness, the rank of this power still easily surpassed normal Kings and Emperors. Even normal Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords would be suppressed to a certain degree.


    Behind the Evil God Tower, the forces from Sky Suspension Palace, the imperials, Nine Darkness Palace, Sky Sword Pavilion, the Duanmu Family, and company gathered in front of a sealed dark metallic building.


    This sealed metallic building was the God''s Array Building and the core of the God''s Forbidden Array of Xie Yang Palace.


    In front of the God''s Array Building stood Xin Wuheng and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge. They were at the very front, and next to them were a couple array masters. At the very center was a five-colored whirlpool made of arrays.


    Weng~~


    The remaining Kings formed a long line and merged their True Yuan into the shoulder of the King in front of them. A surge of True Yuan then flowed to Xin Wuheng and company at the front, and then into the five-colored whirlpool array.


    Xin Wuheng and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge stood in front of the five-colored whirlpool array and used a profound technique to summon the power within the five-colored whirlpool array. A rune shot out from the five-colored whirlpool array and into the God''s Array Building.


    Weng~~


    A divine light rippled across the surface of the God''s Array Building, and a terrifying aura was unleashed that made everyone unable to breathe. However, a white door frame started to form on the surface of the dark building.


    "We''re just a little bit away from finishing inspecting it." Xin Wuheng let out a breath.


    "I didn''t think that Brother Xin also specialized in Heaven''s Legacy secret techniques or that you had reached such a level of mastery¡­." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge revealed a weird expression.


    "I just know a little about the Heaven''s Legacy secret techniques of a branch unit. I''m not as well-rounded as Brother Zhuge," Xin Wuheng said humbly.


    Even if he knew how to get it, it would be hard for him to do so alone. Luckily, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge was an extremely knowledgeable genius. His mastery of Heaven''s Legacy secret techniques was more complete.


    They finally managed to find a breakthrough point as all the Kings gathered their power.


    "Hmm?" Xin Wuheng''s eyebrows suddenly furrowed as he turned toward the Evil Sky Tower with a pair of flashing eyes. A forbidden God power suddenly swept in every direction from the Evil Sky Tower toward the rest of Xie Yang Palace.


    "That force¡­!"


    The expressions of all the Kings changed dramatically. It was as if they were in a large wave and couldn''t stand stably.


    The instant the forbidden aura arrived, all the power within everyone''s body was frozen, and the Kings in front of the God''s Array Building were like zombies. Only Xin Wuheng, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, and a small number of people were able to see what was happening.


    "There''s a faint trace of the remnant God power within the Evil Sky Tower, and it seems like it''s being awakened. It''s gathering together¡­." Xin Wuheng''s eyes twinkled.


    Since he had been into the Evil Sky Tower before, he understood a bit about it. Xin Wuheng had found the remnant God power. It didn''t have an owner, but without enough luck and destiny, one couldn''t obtain this power even if they knew it was there.


    Putting that aside, no one even dared to touch it in the first place. There was only a little hope if the technique one cultivated was along the same lines as the technique that the Ancient God Xie Yang cultivated.


    The technique that Xin Wuheng cultivated was completely different, so he couldn''t obtain that power. On the contrary, he had to hide even further away than the others.


    Apart from that, Xin Wuheng faintly felt a mental energy aura that could affect all the remnant God power within the Evil Sky Tower. He didn''t want to take the risk, so he gave up on going into the Evil Sky Tower.


    Outside Xie Yang Palace:


    Peng~ Boom!


    The enormous black scaled body of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was smashing into the God''s Forbidden Array. More and more flaws in the God''s Forbidden Array were revealed, and cracks occasionally appeared. The purple-and-blood-colored light shot out wasn''t as strong as before.


    "Eh? A faint trace of the God power¡­." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly stopped as it revealed a wary and stunned expression.


    Hu~~


    The surge of the Evil God''s forbidden power even swept outside Xie Yang Palace.


    Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t move, solemnness appeared in its eyes. After being sealed for who-knows-how-many-millennia, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was extremely weak, and it couldn''t use many of its abilities since it still had the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains wrapped around its body.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon also wasn''t able to see what was happening in the top floor of the Evil Sky Tower. The Marks of Destruction on Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had already been dissolved, and the Mark of Destruction within Mo Dongyao''s body had also been destroyed by the Ancient God weapon.


    Therefore, apart from the three present, no one else knew what was happening on the top floor of the Evil Sky Tower.


    Zhao Feng and Mo Dongyao looked at the shocking scene in front of them. Nan Gongsheng sat on the black futon, and all the purple-and-blood-colored light from the Evil Sky Tower gathered onto him.


    Hu~~


    The purple-and-blood-colored symbol on Nan Gongsheng''s forehead was extremely wicked, and it seemed like a second heart as it thumped. On top of that, wicked purple-and-blood-colored images appeared on his skin.


    Shua! Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng revealed a painful expression as a purple-and-blood-colored spatial domain covered him. The spatial domain was filled with silver sparkles. As the purple-and-blood-colored lights merged into the spatial domain, it started to materialize.


    "Little World¡­ Evil God Crystal¡­." Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye saw what was happening.


    In just a couple breaths, Nan Gongsheng''s spatial domain had turned into a purple-and-blood-colored Little World with silver walls.


    When the purple-and-blood-colored light of the evil Sky Tower entered the Evil God Crystal at the center of the Little World, it started to connect to Nan Gongsheng''s source of strength.


    "Dammit! Nan Gongsheng''s Intent has been affected!"


    Zhao Feng felt a wicked mental energy undulation come from the black futon as it merged into Nan Gongsheng''s source of strength alongside the purple-and-blood-colored light. Nan Gongsheng''s face began to twist as the purple-and-blood-colored flower images on his skin became brighter.


    "Who''s there!?" Zhao Feng circulated his Eye Intent and several hundred symbols of God Tribulation Lightning lit up, but Zhao Feng only radiated some pressure from his Eye Intent and didn''t actually attack.


    If the mental energy had forcefully taken control of Nan Gongsheng''s body, Zhao Feng and Mo Dongyao may have been able to stop it, but it seemed to be ready for that; it hid within the black futon, then merged with the purple-and-blood-colored light as it entered Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    "Zezeze¡­ the power of the God Tribulation and the aura of an Ancient Deity? What a surprise¡­." Another voice sounded from within Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    Nan Gongsheng had been assimilated by the God power, and his spatial domain and source of power had been changed as well. Even his mental energy and attitude had changed.


    "Mental Energy Thought Body," an old voice sounded from behind.


    Jiang!


    An immortal Sword Intent that seemed like it could slice through Heaven and Earth was unleashed from the Ancient God weapon in Mo Dongyao''s hand. At the same time, the outline of the Little Sword Saint formed from half-transparent sword-light behind Mo Dongyao.


    "Mental Energy Thought Body!?"


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but start to think. A Mental Energy Thought was similar to a Demigod Partial Thought, but more complete. It contained a certain amount of mental energy that could transform into a type of spirit and affect the outside world.


    "Zezeze¡­ That''s right. I''m the Archery God Mental Energy Thought Body of the Ancient God Xie Yang."


    A half-transparent purple-and-blood-colored figure appeared within Nan Gongsheng''s body. It existed in a unique mental energy state. It wasn''t a soul or an Intent, but a thought that could affect the outside world.


    "So lucky¡­." Zhao Feng let out a breath. It would be extremely bad if it was the Intent of the Ancient God Xie Yang himself. The Intent of an Ancient God would be able to decide who lived and who died, and it could even control the entire Xie Yang Palace. It was similar to the Demigod Intent in the Demigod Forgotten Garden, but it was obvious that Xie Yang Palace didn''t have any Ancient God Intent; it was just a forgotten palace that belonged to no one.


    Since this Thought Body didn''t contain any part of a soul, it was unable to actually steal someone''s body, but it could affect and assimilate others.


    "I didn''t expect you humans to give me such a surprise. This person''s domain and source of strength has even merged with an Evil God Crystal of Master Xie Yang. Zezeze¡­ this human will become the new body for the remaining power of the Evil Sky Tower. To a certain extent, it can be considered that I will have a new life." The half-transparent purple-and-blood-colored figure smiled smugly as it merged into the source of strength within Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    Hearing that, Nan Gongsheng''s expression changed dramatically. He knew what this Evil God Mental Thought Body had in mind. Although the Evil God Mental Thought Body was unable to steal a body, it could turn Nan Gongsheng into another person. Nan Gongsheng would still be "Nan Gongsheng," but his personality wouldn''t be the same.


    "Hmph! You''re just a measly Mental Thought Body. I won''t let Nan Gongsheng be turned into someone like the Ancient God Xie Yang." Zhao Feng snickered coldly.


    "Gaze¡­ of¡­ the¡­ God¡­ Eye¡­!"


    The youth''s left eye turned into a deep purple-colored whirlpool that extended to the other side of an abyss. At the same time, a suction force that pulled mental energy and souls enveloped Nan Gongsheng.


    "Kekeke¡­ this force isn''t strong enough to threaten me yet." The Evil God Mental Thought Body within Nan Gongsheng''s body laughed. Its mental energy was extremely strong; it was comparable to Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords at the least.


    "Who said I was going to do anything to you?"


    The next instant, a purple-silver soul was about to leave Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    "Nan Gongsheng''s soul!" Mo Dongyao exclaimed in disbelief.


    "What¡­!? Stop!" the Evil God Mental Thought Body roared as his wicked mental energy swept across the area.


    Although it was a Mental Thought Body and could affect the thoughts of living things, it couldn''t take over a body. Once Nan Gongsheng''s soul was taken, its plans would fail; it couldn''t assimilate a shell with no soul, right?


    "Instead of allowing Nan Gongsheng''s personality to be changed, how about¡­ I take care of his soul?"


    The purple-haired youth''s eyes seemed to contain divine purple lightning. He spoke each word with a pause.

 859 The Price of Power

    Chapter 859 - The Price of Power


    "Instead of allowing Nan Gongsheng''s personality to be changed, how about¡­ I take care of his soul instead?"


    Zhao Feng''s harsh tone and decisiveness shook Mo Dongyao''s heart. She was stunned and couldn''t believe that Zhao Feng would use such an extreme method of removing Nan Gongsheng''s soul from his body.


    However, this move was extremely effective; it instantly caused the Evil God Mental Thought Body to start panicking. Being a Mental Thought Body, it wasn''t able to control or assimilate a shell that didn''t have a soul.


    "Gaze¡­ of¡­ the¡­ God''s¡­ Eye!"


    The majority of Nan Gongsheng''s silver-and-purple Yuan Soul was being pulled out of his body.


    "Zhao Feng¡­!"


    Nan Gongsheng''s soul struggled in the air and panicked. Anyone that had their soul controlled by someone else would start to panic.


    "Nan Gongsheng, you can''t blame Zhao Feng. You need to thank him instead. Even if you gained unrivalled strength, what''s the point if it''s not your own personality?" an old voice sounded from the white sword-light figure behind Mo Dongyao''s back.


    The white figure formed the outline of the Little Sword Saint, and from his tone, one could hear that he approved of what Zhao Feng did.


    Indeed, although Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were friends and trusted one another after all the battles they had been through together, if Nan Gongsheng was going to lose his personality, then Zhao Feng would rather just remove Nan Gongsheng''s soul from his body.


    "Nan Gongsheng, the reason Senior Sword Saint came was to stop you from being assimilated by the power of the Evil God and transforming into a big threat. If that happened, then he would kill you himself," Mo Dongyao said.


    Hearing that, the hearts of Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng went cold. After merging with the Ancient God weapon, the Little Sword Saint existed in a mysterious state, but if he wanted to kill Nan Gongsheng, then even Zhao Feng may not be able to stop him.


    "Nan Gongsheng, relax. Even if you lose this body, we still have a bunch of Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Roots," Zhao Feng said.


    "Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Root!" The white figure made of sword-light shook slightly, but he had already missed the best chance. It would be hard to regain a body at this point.


    Shua!


    Nan Gongsheng''s soul finally left his body, even though he struggled in unwillingness.


    Although the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Root could create a new body, it might not be as talented as his original body, which was a Spatial Spiritual Body and a Heavenly Spiritual Body. Furthermore, he had merged the power of the Evil God Crystal and the remnant God power into his body, and his spatial domain was just upgraded to a Little World.


    All in all, Nan Gongsheng was unwilling. One only re-cultivated if they had to for a better future, but if Nan Gongsheng re-cultivated, he would lose most of his advantages.


    Shu!


    Black smoke started to rise from the black futon under Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    Not good! Without a soul, the God power will not have an owner anymore and fade away along with me. The Evil God Mental Thought Body within Nan Gongsheng''s body was enraged and started to panic.


    Weng~~


    A powerful surge of mental energy gathered in Nan Gongsheng''s body. A half-transparent purple-and-blood-colored figure a hundred yards tall formed around Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    "Get back here!" Two large, transparent purple-and-blood-colored hands extended out from the figure.


    One of the purple-and-blood-colored hands was calm and soft as it grabbed toward Nan Gongsheng''s soul while the other burned with a purple-and-blood-colored flame as it smacked toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng instantly felt his soul become cold.


    In this state, most people would give up on the Gaze of the God''s Eye and protect themselves instead. In reality though, the Gaze of the God''s Eye being stopped was unavoidable anyway. Although the Evil God Mental Thought Body didn''t have any part of a soul in it, its mental energy was extremely powerful and far surpassed Peak-tier Emperors.


    However, Zhao Feng didn''t defend himself after stopping the Gaze of the God''s Eye. Instead, he circulated his soul power and shot it at the Evil God Mental Thought Body.


    "I was waiting for you."


    Several hundred symbols of God Tribulation Lightning lit up in Zhao Feng''s purple Soul Sea.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A sharp beam of purple God Tribulation Lightning pierced into the purple-and-blood-colored figure that was the Evil God Mental Thought Body.


    "Arghh!"


    The Evil God Mental Thought Body instantly let out a scream. Zhao Feng''s understanding of the Dao of the Soul had reached a high level, and the God Tribulation Lightning could damage the Evil God Mental Thought Body.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng groaned as he took the attack from the flaming purple-and-blood-colored hand head-on. However, Zhao Feng believed in the resilience of his God''s Spiritual Eye. Although it wouldn''t let him come out completely unharmed, he wouldn''t be critically injured.


    Reality proved that, although the Evil God Mental Thought Body had a large source of mental energy that was comparable to Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords, it was still just a Thought Body, and it was weak in terms soul-based attacks. Zhao Feng''s soul was only slightly injured.


    "Sword Destroying the Sky!"


    An immortal Sword Intent that could slash through Heaven and Earth suddenly shot out from the white figure that the Little Sword Saint had turned into. The Soul Sword laws that were used were enough to shock Emperors and force back Sacred Lords.


    Jiang!


    Mo Dongyao slashed out with the tattered Ancient God weapon in her hand, and a brilliant beam of green light sliced straight into the Evil God Mental Thought Body.


    In this moment, the Little Sword Saint''s Soul Sword laws merged with the Ancient God weapon and unleashed an ultimate force that could destroy both physical objects and the soul. It instantly ripped the enormous body of the Evil God Mental Thought Body apart.


    "Argh!" The Evil God Mental Thought Body let out a scream of pain.


    "What a terrifying attack!" Nan Gongsheng''s soul entered a state of fear. Just the aura from that one sword made his soul feel as if it was about to be destroyed.


    The power of this Ancient God weapon had exceeded the power of an Emperor, and the Little Sword Saint''s Soul Sword laws could injure the soul of a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    A surge of fire made of eye-bloodline power shot out from Zhao Feng''s left eye. It glittered with purple and a dark symbol of God Tribulation Lightning.


    Bam! Boom~~~~!


    A transparent dark lightning flame with the aura of God Tribulation Lightning burned across the Evil God Mental Thought Body.


    Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning Eye Flame was a pure Soul attack using the God Tribulation Lightning as the main force, and it landed at the exact moment its body was ripped apart.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Evil God Mental Thought Body felt as if ten thousand bolts of lightning exploded in its body, and the eye-bloodline flame of God Tribulation Lightning kept on burning.


    "Soul Sword Charge!"


    The Little Sword Saint phantom figure expanded to a hundred yards wide and released a white crystalline sword-beam. This beam utilized pure Soul Sword laws to pierce through the enormous body of the purple-and-blood-colored figure.


    "Arghhh!"


    Under the combined forces of the Little Sword Saint, the Ancient God weapon, and Zhao Feng, the Evil God Mental Thought Body had to face a barrage of attacks, and it let out howls and cries one after another.


    Crack!


    At a certain moment, the purple-and-blood-colored figure shattered and turned into countless streaks of faint purple-and-blood-colored flames, which merged into the source of power within Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    "Gaze of the God''s Eye!" Zhao Feng used this chance to pull out Nan Gongsheng''s soul.


    Shu~~~


    Right at this moment, the black futon beneath Nan Gongsheng''s body turned into a pile of ash, and the purple-and-blood-colored lights that had gathered within his body were released. Nan Gongsheng''s Little World showed signs of breaking apart; this force was coming from the center of Nan Gongsheng''s Little World, and it was enough to destroy his body.


    "Zhao Feng, put me back~~~~!"


    Nan Gongsheng''s soul struggled.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye started to thump, and he could see the disaster forming in Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    If the remaining God power within Nan Gongsheng''s body flowed away calmly, the worst case scenario was that only Nan Gongsheng''s body would be destroyed. It would only bring Zhao Feng and company a tiny bit of trouble. However, if this power didn''t flow away and exploded instead, then no one present would be able to survive, and it would probably wreck Xie Yang Palace.


    "You maniac, stop~~~~!" the shattered Evil God Mental Thought Body within Nan Gongsheng''s body shouted in fear. Once this power was released, then the Evil God Mental Thought Body within Nan Gongsheng''s body would be the first to die.


    The Evil God Mental Thought Body has been broken, so its threat is a lot lower¡­. Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled as he made a decision.


    This wasn''t just out of consideration for the upcoming danger; it was also out of respect for Nan Gongsheng.


    Shua!


    With a flash, Nan Gongsheng''s Yuan Soul returned to his body and quickly started to consolidate the source of his power. The purple-and-blood-colored light that was expanding quickly calmed down, and Nan Gongsheng''s Little World also stabilized.


    In this period of time, the Evil God Mental Thought Body that had been broken into pieces merged into the purple-and-blood-colored light and helped Nan Gongsheng stabilize the force instead of troubling him.


    This situation lasted for an entire half a day, and the remaining power of the Evil God within the Evil Sky Tower disappeared. Most of it had merged with the Evil God Mental Thought Body and into Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    The Evil God Mental Thought Body''s aura was extremely weak, as if it had been completely broken and fused into Nan Gongsheng''s source of power.


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed, and it could guess what the Evil God Mental Thought Body wanted to do. As if wary of Zhao Feng and the Little Sword Saint, the Evil God Mental Thought Body didn''t dare to assimilate Nan Gongsheng anymore. Instead, it just merged his power.


    Now, Nan Gongsheng would be affected by the Evil God Mental Thought Body every time he absorbed the power within his Little World and his source of power.


    This was a slow process, but the more power Nan Gongsheng absorbed, the more his personality would change. Zhao Feng and the Little Sword Saint couldn''t stop this unless they killed Nan Gongsheng.


    At this instant, Nan Gongsheng''s eyes glittered with silver-and-purple, and the purple-and-blood-colored mark on his forehead became brighter and brighter. He instinctively licked his lips as a wicked smile formed on his face.


    "Nan Gongsheng, this is your choice. This is the price you pay for your power," Zhao Feng murmured.

 860 Escape

    Chapter 860 - Escape


    On the top floor of the Evil Sky Tower, Nan Gongsheng was sitting calmly, but his expression was different from before.


    The Evil God Crystal was the foundation of his Little World. He was circulating and constantly absorbing large amounts of wicked purple-and-blood-colored light into his body.


    Zhao Feng and Mo Dongyao could feel that the aura radiating from Nan Gongsheng''s body was becoming stronger. Along with the increase in strength in such a short period of time, his personality was also slowly changing.


    In reality, any expert''s personality would change as time passed and as their strength increased, but Nan Gongsheng''s changes were unnatural. These changes would change his characteristics and attitude, essentially turning him into someone else.


    The Evil God Mental Thought Body had everything to do with this. Although Zhao Feng and the Little Sword Saint had shattered the Evil God Mental Thought Body, its mental energy was extremely powerful, so it wasn''t destroyed even after breaking apart.


    What made it more troublesome was that, after breaking apart, it merged with Nan Gongsheng''s power.


    Of course, Zhao Feng had done his best. If it wasn''t for him, Nan Gongsheng''s personality may have already changed dramatically, or he might''ve been killed by the Little Sword Saint.


    "Zhao Feng, I won''t forget your help and support."


    Nan Gongsheng revealed a look of gratitude as he struggled. It was obvious that he was trying to fight back against the power that was trying to change his personality.


    At the moment, it seemed like Nan Gongsheng''s personality had changed to a certain degree, but he still knew what gratitude was, meaning that his personality hadn''t been completely changed.


    "And I don''t regret today''s decision¡­."


    Nan Gongsheng revealed a wicked smile of satisfaction as he felt the power in the depths of his body, and he felt like it could suppress Heaven and Earth.


    What kind of power didn''t come with a price? All he had to do was slowly dig out this treasury of power. Currently, Nan Gongsheng had only absorbed the tip of the iceberg and yet his strength had increased dramatically.


    A while later, Zhao Feng finally spoke, "Nan Gongsheng, I can only help you up to here. I don''t know and don''t care what kind of agreement you and the Evil God Mental Thought Body came to, but success or failure depends on you."


    Hearing that, Nan Gongsheng''s body shook, and the shattered Evil God Mental Thought Body within his body also gave a curious exclamation. The two were surprised as to how Zhao Feng knew that they made an agreement.


    After saying that, Zhao Feng turned around and started to descend the Evil Sky Tower.


    Mo Dongyao stood still and gave Nan Gongsheng a few cold glances, then finally left unwillingly.


    "Let''s go. Without Zhao Feng''s help, it''ll be very hard to deal with Nan Gongsheng, who has become so much stronger," the Little Sword Saint''s old voice sounded in her ears.


    Nan Gongsheng''s silver-and-purple eyes flashed as he looked at the leaving Zhao Feng with complex emotions.


    "Zeze¡­ that youth is the Zhao Feng that you can''t surpass? Don''t worry, if you and I work together, we''ll be able to surpass him before long," the Evil God Mental Thought Body said.


    Nan Gongsheng''s expression started to struggle as he changed the topic, "I didn''t expect him to see that we made a deal with each other."


    "Hmph. You wouldn''t have been able to circulate and absorb the wisps of God power so easily without my help. It''s not surprising that that youth could see this." The Evil God Mental Thought Body snickered coldly.


    On the top floor of the Evil Sky Tower, Nan Gongsheng sat there as the aura radiating from him became stronger and stronger. Within half a day, his cultivation had reached the peak level as a King. If it weren''t for the fact that Emperors needed their soul to evolve, he would have already become an Emperor.


    However, the undulation of power coming from Nan Gongsheng wasn''t something other Void God Realms could compare to. Even the expressions of Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords would change.


    At the same moment in time, the others within the Evil Sky Tower had left, including Xuanyuan Wen, who didn''t dare to risk it and see what happened to the God power on the top floor. After all, the aura of that power was completely different from his own, so it wasn''t worth the risk since he wouldn''t gain anything anyway.


    However, Zhao Feng met Zhao Yufei along his descent, and she was trying to go up and see what had happened.


    "Brother Feng, it''s good that your fine." Zhao Yufei let out a breath.


    The aura of power from the top floor moments ago was terrifying. Even at this moment, there was an undulation of power from the top floor that could shake anyone''s heart. It was enough to surprise even Emperors.


    A while later, Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and Mo Dongyao walked out of the Evil Sky Tower.


    "Hm? Where''s Nan Gongsheng?" Zhao Yufei finally realized something.


    Mo Dongyao was about to reply, but she stopped. Who knew what the reactions of the other people would be if they knew Nan Gongsheng had inherited the remaining power of the Ancient God Xie Yang and his personality was being affected by the Evil God Mental Thought Body?


    "Nan Gongsheng will come down soon," Zhao Feng said with confidence.


    Everyone was still facing the danger of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. The Evil God Mental Thought Body was part of Nan Gongsheng now, so it couldn''t just ignore things.


    After calculating the time, they realized that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon only needed about seventeen days to break into Xie Yang Palace.


    The roar of a dragon and an aura of Destruction could be felt outside Xie Yang Palace. Those with powerful senses would instinctively feel as if they were in danger.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The trio started heading toward the God''s Array Building.


    When Zhao Feng and company arrived at the God''s Array Building, there were already many other human experts present.


    The God''s Array Building contained the core of the God''s Forbidden Array and was related to the survival of all the outsiders. At this moment, 90% of those that had entered Xie Yang Palace were gathered here.


    "The God''s Array Building has been opened!" Mo Dongyao revealed a joyful expression as she glanced at a flashing white door in front of the dark silver building.


    There were almost ten Void God Realm Kings in front of the flashing white door. They all combined their True Yuan in order to keep the flashing white door open.


    Within the God''s Array Building, Xin Wuheng, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, and some array masters were gathered together and discussing something.


    "Although we''ve entered the God''s Array Building, it''s the center of the God''s Forbidden Array, so the core is extremely complex and will require a long time to gain control¡­." An imperial array master gave a sigh.


    One could see condensed purple crystalline lightning symbols above them, and together they formed a single large array. These purple crystalline lightning symbols changed every second, and they were connected to complex lines that affected the entire God''s Forbidden Array around Xie Yang Palace.


    The space within the God''s Array Building was extremely big, comparable to a small castle. On top of that, the power contained within the array symbols was extremely strong. Just a wisp of it might be able to kill a King.


    The people trying to figure out this "Purple Crystal Lightning Array" were undertaking a big risk.


    "Be careful, the God''s Forbidden Array has been running for countless years and has some flaws. It''ll occasionally release a wisp of power," Senior Martial Brother Zhuge warned.


    Some holes could be seen below the Purple Crystal Lightning Array, and the material that made up the God''s Array Building was something that even Emperors would find hard to damage.


    "What a complex array." Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed as his God''s Spiritual Eye gave it a rough inspection.


    Even with Xin Wuheng, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, and company leading the group, the array masters and Kings couldn''t find a breakthrough point. Even if they had some ideas, they didn''t dare to take action because an enormous force was being used to circulate the God''s Forbidden Array, and a single wisp of power from it could kill Emperors. This place was definitely one of the most central places of Xie Yang Palace.


    "I suggest that no one try to destroy the core of the Forbidden Array in order to gain forgiveness from the Black Serpent Dragon. The arrays here have a self-protecting system that can counterattack. The damage it can deal is something that none of us can handle," Xin Wuheng warned.


    Surprised flashed through his eyes as he looked over toward Zhao Feng and company, as if he was curious where Nan Gongsheng was. Nan Gongsheng was always next to Zhao Feng, but he hadn''t appeared after entering the Evil Sky Tower.


    Zhao Feng didn''t explain anything. He opened his left eye-bloodline and started to inspect the Purple Crystal Lightning Array and help Xin Wuheng, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, and company to resolve it.


    Zhao Feng''s help increased their progress. In the blink of an eye, eight days passed. With Zhao Feng''s help, they were able to understand a bit of the Purple Crystal Lightning Array. However, they only understood some of the theory and were still far away from actually solving it.


    "It is, after all, something from the domain of Gods¡­." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge started to become tired, and all the half-step Kings and Kings in front of the God''s Array Building were covered in a solemn atmosphere.


    There were ten days left till the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon entered Xie Yang Palace.


    "We only have ten days left¡­."


    The elites within Xie Yang Palace could feel death creeping up on them.


    Zhao Feng and Xuanyuan Wen both had Emperor Intent and could feel the power of Destruction become clearer.


    The power of the God''s Forbidden Array was slowly weakening.


    "Argh!"


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, I''ll fight it out with you!"


    In the last ten days, some of the experts and elites started feeling despair and unleashed frenzied attacks.


    I have the Misty Spatial World, so I might be able to escape when the God''s Forbidden Array is destroyed¡­. Zhao Feng was already thinking about how to escape.


    The Misty Spatial World had the ability to pass through and teleport across space, but this could only be done when the God''s Forbidden Array was destroyed. However, there would still be a lot of danger involved.


    Apart from all that, Zhao Feng was waiting on something else.


    Later that afternoon, a purple-and-blood-colored streak of wicked light descended from the sky with an evil aura.


    "Who is it!?"


    The Kings and half-step Kings in front of the God''s Array Building felt unable to breathe. In this instant, the True Yuan within their bodies started to freeze, and they were almost unable to control their power.


    Wah!


    The half-step Kings spat out blood.


    Shua!


    Everyone looked in shock toward a wicked purple-and-blood-colored-hair youth. There was a purple-and-blood-colored mark on his forehead, and he landed on the ground with a flash of silver-and-purple light.


    "One of the Demonic Duo ¨C Nan Gongsheng! How did he turn into that¡­!?"


    The Void God Realm Kings present felt unable to breathe as a terrifying undulation of power enveloped them.

 861 Slaughter

    Chapter 861 - Slaughter


    Nan Gongsheng was taller than before, and his eyes were silver and purple. He had purple-and-blood-colored hair, and some bright purple-red tattoos could be seen faintly on his skin. A wicked and cruel smile formed on his face as he pressured the geniuses present.


    The geniuses found it hard to breathe, and some Kings'' True Yuan was unable to be used. Luckily, the terrifying wicked aura only descended for an instant before fading away.


    Hu~~


    Only then did the elites outside let out a breath, and they looked in shock at Nan Gongsheng who was walking toward the God''s Array Building.


    "Everyone, watch out," Jiu Wuji warned. "That person''s aura is extremely weird, and it''s similar to the remnant God power that was within the Evil Sky Tower. He has probably been assimilated by the power of the Evil God, and his personality has been changed¡­."


    Hearing that, discussion broke out amongst the experts as they looked at Nan Gongsheng with wariness and cautiousness.


    Jiu Wuji''s eyes twinkled as coldness flashed on his face. He had been in the Evil Sky Tower, so he could guess that Nan Gongsheng may have inherited the remaining power of the Ancient God.


    "That''s right¡­ I''ve also been in the Evil Sky Tower."


    "No wonder the aura within the Evil Sky Tower has disappeared."


    The Kings outside the God''s Array Building glanced at Nan Gongsheng with a hint of greed. No matter what else was said, Nan Gongsheng had touched the domain of Gods and even inherited the power of the Ancient God Xie Yang. Why wouldn''t they be jealous?


    "Everyone, let''s team up and capture this brat and interrogate the secrets of the Ancient God Xie Yang out of him!" Jiu Wuji suggested.


    There were at least twenty Void God Realm Kings outside the God''s Array Building. With so many Kings, even Emperors would need to retreat. Furthermore, Nan Gongsheng''s cultivation was only at the Peak-tier King level.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Figures started to flash as the Peak-tier King Jiu Wuji and six Domain-level Kings attacked. Jiu Wuji''s battle-power was already unrivalled below the Emperor level before he broke through to a Peak-tier King.


    "Demonic Sky Hand!" Jiu Wuji roared as one of his arms expanded and started to burn. A pitch-black giant hand summoned waves of black flames that lashed out at Nan Gongsheng.


    Boom~~~~


    The black hand was dozens of yards wide as it reached out from a dark whirlpool. Its power was more than twice as much as before.


    "Jiu Wuji''s Demonic Sky Technique has reached the 16th level, and his Demonic Sky Hand has become stronger!"


    Some of the geniuses present exclaimed. This attack was taking place in Xie Yang Palace, where all powers were suppressed. If they were in the outside world, this palm could shock Heaven and Earth. Without a doubt, Jiu Wuji could even exchange a couple blows with an Emperor.


    Bam! Boom! Boom!


    There were six Domain-level Kings that attacked as well. Some of them had battle-power comparable to Peak-tier Kings.


    "Hahahaha, kill this thief!"


    Some of the nearby Kings couldn''t help but release their anger of having been plundered by the Demonic Duo.


    Boom~~~~! Bam! Bam!


    As all the attacks were about to land on Nan Gongsheng:


    "A¡­ bunch¡­ of¡­ ants!"


    Nan Gongsheng revealed a wicked and cruel expression as he spoke each word with a pause. He just stood there and let the attacks land on him.


    Wuu~~~~


    Wicked figures formed around Nan Gongsheng and charged out in every direction like ancient bloodthirsty demons.


    Crack!


    Jiu Wuji''s Demonic Sky Hand was shattered, and the other Kings'' attacks were ripped apart like paper. Screams and cries then started to sound.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Jiu Wuji and the other six Kings were sent flying by a dominating force that could suppress Heaven and Earth.


    "How is this possible¡­!?" Jiu Wuji was stunned as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He didn''t have the ability to fight back at all; the terrifying power had completely suppressed them.


    Wah! Wah!


    Several Kings spat out mouthfuls of blood as they were sent flying and fainted.


    "Arghh! Arghh!"


    A few other Kings and more than a dozen half-step Kings were immediately killed by the remaining shockwave.


    All of this happened in the span of one breath.


    Sii!


    The elites present all took in a cold breath.


    "What kind of power is this? Just a basic counterattack from his True Yuan was able to send Jiu Wuji flying and kill several Kings and more than a dozen half-step Kings¡­."


    Some experts'' backs were drenched in cold sweat.


    "You¡­!" Jiu Wuji lay on the ground, and his eyes were full of panic and disbelief.


    "Those that dare to offend me shall die." A cruel smile formed on Nan Gongsheng''s face as his cold gaze swept over Jiu Wuji and the experts from Nine Darkness Palace behind him.


    "Everyone, watch out!" Jiu Wuji''s expression changed dramatically as he circulated his True Yuan.


    "Demonic Sky Forcefield!" Jiu Wuji got up as a black forcefield started to form around him.


    This Demonic Sky Forcefield was Jiu Wuji''s defensive technique that could slow down and absorb attacks. However, the unexpected happened right as his Demonic Sky Forcefield formed.


    "Die!" A blur of silver-and-purple images that glittered with a blood-colored light landed on Jiu Wuji with a Boom!


    "Arghh!" A scream sounded, but it quickly ended. Jiu Wuji''s body had turned into a puddle of blood. Even his Yuan Soul was destroyed.


    "Jiu Wuji!"


    "Senior Jiu!"


    The expressions of the geniuses and elites from Nine Darkness Palace changed dramatically, and everyone''s hairs stood up as a coldness spread throughout their bodies. The faces of those that had attacked Nan Gongsheng before went pale-white.


    "Terrifying! He killed Jiu Wuji in one blow!"


    "What kind of power is this? Could Nan Gongsheng really have inherited the power of the Evil God¡­?"


    After the chaos was dead silence.


    This scene even caught the attention of the major figures from the imperials and Sky Suspension Palace within the God''s Array Building.


    "What terrifying power. It''s the same as the power from the Evil Sky Tower¡­." Xuanyuan Wen''s expression became solemn.


    Zhao Feng, Xin Wuheng, and company also looked out. What they saw next was a slaughter.


    "Arghhh!"


    The remaining Kings and half-step Kings from Nine Darkness Palace cried out as a blur of silver-and-purple images turned them into a puddle of blood and water.


    Nan Gongsheng''s attacks were extremely unique; they crushed both the soul and physical body. Physical bodies and Yuan Souls were both killed.


    "How is this possible? That''s a characteristic that belongs to Mystic Light Sacred Power¡­!" The Ninth Prince''s True Yuan and bloodline started to tremble.


    Xin Wuheng''s and Xuanyuan Wen''s faces both became solemn. At this moment in time, Nan Gongsheng was terrifying, and he had exceeded normal limits.


    In just a breath or two, the entire elite group from Nine Darkness Palace was taken out by Nan Gongsheng. Nan Gongsheng then licked his lips and gave a wicked smile as he looked toward some of the Kings who also attacked him.


    "Argh!"


    These Kings'' souls almost flew away, and they started to run as fast as they could even if they were injured.


    Boom! Peng! Peng!


    Nan Gongsheng raised his hand and killed the Kings and half-step Kings like he was stomping on ants.


    "Stop!" The apricot-robed female from Sky Suspension Palace, Luo Zun, the Eighth Prince, the wrinkled elder, and some other Kings from the imperial group all tried to stop him.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    These strong Kings were pushed back by a layer of silver-and-purple light before they even managed to get close.


    "Sacred Emperor''s Sword!" the Thirteenth Prince roared as he drew out a beaming golden sword.


    "Argh!" Before he could even attack, a wicked silver-and-purple figure sent him flying.


    Chaos broke out outside the God''s Array Building.


    Weng~~


    At the same time, the white door frame on the God''s Array Building started to close as it lost the energy from the Kings.


    "Stop!" Xuanyuan Wen reached out and stabilized the white door frame as he sent a surge of Emperor Intent toward Nan Gongsheng.


    Nan Gongsheng''s footsteps paused as he licked his lips and glanced at the only Emperor present, Xuanyuan Wen.


    The surge of Emperor Intent hadn''t affected him at all. Instead, it just ignited Nan Gongsheng''s battle-intent and fierceness. Silver-and-purple light emanated from his body, and the purple-and-blood-colored flower markings on his skin became brighter.


    The terrifying aura of power made everyone unable to breathe. Those below the Void God Realm were unable to use their True Yuan, and even their bloodline power was completely suppressed.


    "This power¡­!" Xuanyuan Wen felt the True Yuan within his body shake, and he couldn''t circulate it as he wished.


    The biggest difference between Kings and Emperors was the soul. There wasn''t too much difference in terms of power itself. This meant that even someone as strong as Xuanyuan Wen could be suppressed in terms of power.


    "Zhao Feng, why aren''t you stopping him?" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge thought of something in this situation.


    At this instant, no one could suppress Nan Gongsheng. Even Xuanyuan Wen couldn''t. Even if he could though, an all-out fight would be disastrous.


    Mo Dongyao gave a cold glance toward Zhao Feng, as if saying that all of this was his fault.


    "Luckily, Nan Gongsheng hasn''t completely lost his mind. The ones that he killed were only those that attacked him." Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head.


    Luck¡­ luckily? Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, the Ninth Prince, and company almost choked.


    Nan Gongsheng''s battle-power was unrivalled; he could slay Gods and Buddhas if they tried to stop him. In just a short while, the Kings in front of the God''s Array Building had scattered in fear.


    Nan Gongsheng felt bored. He licked his lips as he approached Xuanyuan Wen step by step with his terrifying aura.


    Xuanyuan Wen was enraged, and the Intent in his eyes was condensed to the limit. He raised his hand, and crystalline beams of light that radiated a forbidden aura appeared in the air.


    "Stop!" The expressions of Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, Xin Wuheng, and the various imperial experts changed dramatically.


    No one knew what would happen if they started to truly fight. From the strength that Nan Gongsheng displayed, he would be undefeatable unless everyone teamed up. Furthermore, this was just Nan Gongsheng alone ¨C he was only one member of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo.


    "Enough," a voice sounded in the tense atmosphere.


    This voice broke the aura that suppressed everyone, and everyone instantly felt the pressure decrease. Nan Gongsheng''s footsteps stopped, and he started to struggle as the bloodthirsty coldness within him started to fade.


    Hu~~


    Senior Martial Brother Zhuge and company all let out a long breath as they looked at the purple-haired youth with slightly furrowed eyebrows.


    Everyone familiar with them knew that, of the two Purple-Haired Demonic Duo members, it was this purple-haired youth that was the leader. Only he could stop Nan Gongsheng.

 862 Life or Death

    Chapter 862 - Life or Death


    Zhao Feng''s words made all the other geniuses present let out a breath as the terrifying aura that was suppressing everyone quickly faded.


    The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo always worked together in the Divine Illusion Dimension. It would be hard to find someone else that could stop Nan Gongsheng, whose battle-power was unrivalled against everyone other than Zhao Feng.


    Hearing his voice, the aura around Nan Gongsheng started to fade, and the cruel expression on his face smoothed out.


    Shua!


    Nan Gongsheng turned into a blurry silver-and-purple figure that quickly entered the God''s Array Building. Most of the people couldn''t even see how he moved.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Some of the Kings within the God''s Array Building were extremely tense. One had to know that Nan Gongsheng had the ability to instantly kill a Peak-tier King, and even Void God Realm Emperors might not be his match.


    Jiu Wuji''s battle-power was already enough to exchange a blow or two with an Emperor. Apart from Xuanyuan Wen, everyone else could possibly be insta-killed by Nan Gongsheng.


    Sou! Sou!


    With a flash, Nan Gongsheng approached the purple-haired youth in the God''s Array Building.


    "Brother Feng¡­!" Zhao Yufei''s expression changed. She became worried because Nan Gongsheng''s personality and attitude had changed.


    After inheriting the power of the Evil God, no one knew whether he would be the Nan Gongsheng from before.


    Shua!


    When the flash of silver-and-purple stopped, Nan Gongsheng appeared next to Zhao Feng. The two stood shoulder to shoulder and formed a demonic duo.


    Hu~~


    Some of the Kings present let out a breath.


    "Luckily, Nan Gongsheng hadn''t lost complete control¡­." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge sweated.


    However, all of the people looked at Nan Gongsheng with wariness. Nan Gongsheng''s absolute power scared everyone present, and his cold and emotionless slaughter made them go cold.


    Zhao Feng''s emotions remained the same; calm.


    Even now, this youth was surrounded in mystery and no one could see through him. However, those that had watched him clash against the Blue Serpent King duo wouldn''t ever forget it.


    Some time ago, this youth had almost managed to slay the ninth and tenth ranks on the Imperial Genius rankings by himself. The Blue Serpent King duo didn''t even dare to appear after that.


    "Nan Gongsheng, do you know how to resolve the Forbidden Array?" Zhao Feng suddenly spoke.


    He had been waiting for Nan Gongsheng over the past few days since there was this possibility. Right now, no one was able to solve the Forbidden Array within the God''s Array Building, and there were only ten days left till the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon charged into Xie Yang Palace and slaughtered them all.


    Zhao Feng had to team up with everyone else in order to face this great foe and find out how to escape.


    Zhao Feng''s words caught the attention of the other Kings. Could it be that Nan Gongsheng knew about arrays? But from the cruelty and bloodthirstiness he displayed, he didn''t seem like the type.


    "I came over precisely for that reason," Nan Gongsheng said as he glanced over some of the wary and fearful Kings.


    His gaze was cold, as if he was looking down on ants. His eyes would struggle and reveal a complex emotion only when his gaze landed on the face of the purple-haired youth next to him. Nan Gongsheng didn''t understand why this youth could still remain so cold in front of his terrifying power.


    "Senior Martial Brother Nan Gongsheng, do you know how to solve it?" Zhao Yufei asked with joy. There were only ten days left for them, and everyone obviously wanted to live.


    "I have the array blueprint. We can try to fix it, but don''t even think about controlling it unless you become a Demigod," Nan Gongsheng said emotionlessly.


    Hearing that, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge and company revealed joyful expressions.


    The God''s Forbidden Array was in the domain of Gods. How could mortals control it? No wonder the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was so disdainful after knowing their plan.


    "Fixing the core of the God''s Forbidden Array will at least give us more time," an imperial array master said.


    Nan Gongsheng then closed his eyes and started to send the blueprint to Senior Martial Brother Zhuge with his Divine Sense. The others responsible for solving the array soon received the blueprint as well.


    "So profound! As expected of the God''s Forbidden Array." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge and several other array masters couldn''t help but sigh as they became entranced.


    Of course, fixing the array still required some time, but now they had the blueprint.


    Time passed by slowly, and the shadow of death that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon brought slowly covered everyone within Xie Yang Palace. The Xie Yang Palace was dead-silent, and some of the natives here could already feel the aura of disaster and were trembling with unease.


    One day¡­ two days¡­ three days¡­. The amount of time that they had left was decreasing.


    Wu~ Roar!


    Boom! Bam!


    The large black scaled body of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was smashing against the God''s Forbidden Array, and the majority of the light radiating from the God''s Forbidden Array had faded.


    Every time the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon clashed against it, a large hole would appear. Normal humans or Yao beasts would already be able to enter Xie Yang Palace. However, as the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was too big, it couldn''t enter yet.


    The repairing function of the God''s Forbidden Array was still there, and the damaged areas were quickly recovered.


    "There''s only five days left until all of you will turn into dust in front of the Destruction Dragon Race¡­!" The roar of a dragon sounded throughout Xie Yang Palace.


    Part of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s head had managed to enter Xie Yang Palace. In this instant, all of the beings in Xie Yang Palace felt a Destructive and chaotic aura.


    Within the God''s Array Building, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, Xin Wuheng, and company were all trying to comprehend the array''s blueprint.


    Shua! Whoosh!


    Two figures landed near a hole at the edge of Xie Yang Palace. One had purple hair, and the other had purple-and-blood-colored hair.


    "En, there are a lot of flaws in the Forbidden Array that can be used as a path of escape." Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head.


    After saying this, he pointed the substandard God armguard toward the ground where they were standing.


    Weng~ Weng~


    A silver light flashed around the surface of the armguard, which then started to shrink and turn into a black dot. Only a faint spatial disturbance could be felt before it quickly calmed down.


    "Success."


    Zhao Feng merged his senses into the substandard God weapon and found that there was a very clear black dot within it.


    Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World to create a spatial point.


    "This spatial mark only exists within the Divine Illusion Dimension, meaning that we can''t use it when we go back to the continent zone because the Divine Illusion Dimension is a roaming dimension that only touches the continent once every hundred years," Nan Gongsheng warned.


    The tiniest miscalculation in a teleportation could mean a difference of billions of miles. They might teleport into some random deathtrap, or more likely, dying in the chaotic flow of space.


    "I understand. If we had the spatial marking on the continent zone, we could return even from the Divine Illusion Dimension because the continent zone is in a stable dimension."


    Zhao Feng sighed.


    If the Divine Illusion Dimension wasn''t moving every second, then they would be able to return whenever they wanted after they became strong enough.


    For the next day or so, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng appeared around the edges of Xie Yang Palace and created a total of nineteen spatial markings they could use to escape.


    "Although my strength isn''t very strong, it should be enough to travel this distance at least¡­." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    "You might not be strong enough, but you have me." A wicked and confident smile formed on Nan Gongsheng''s face. His strength could be said to be greatest amongst the outsiders that had entered Xie Yang Palace, and he had Space-type abilities as well.


    "That''s good."


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment as he felt the change in Nan Gongsheng''s personality. Although Nan Gongsheng hadn''t reached the stage where he would kill his own family, he had indeed changed quite a bit. For example, he was now crueler and more bloodthirsty.


    Time passed by quickly.


    "There''s only three days left¡­."


    Some of the Kings from various forces were becoming uneasy. The shadow of death was becoming closer and closer; they could hear the occasional roar of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    In the last three days:


    Wu~~~ Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The God''s Forbidden Array was extremely faint, as if it could shatter at any moment.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon might charge in at any moment now." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge took in a deep breath.


    "We''re almost done. We''ve confirmed the two biggest flaws and are constructing an array to transmit our power." Beads of sweat appeared on Xin Wuheng''s forehead.


    No matter how high one stood, they would feel pressure and panic in front of the threat of looming death.


    The Kings outside the God''s Array Building all went inside and helped out. Half a day later, the majority of a five-colored whirlpool array was constructed.


    "It all depends on luck now¡­." Zhao Feng gave a sigh as he touched the substandard God armguard.


    At this moment, the God''s Forbidden Array was the weakest it had ever been.


    Crack!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s head had already entered Xie Yang Palace.


    "Wu~~! Doomsday has finally arrived!" The roar of a dragon shook Heaven and Earth as it resounded throughout Xie Yang Palace.


    Wu~~ Boom!


    A flaming Destructive aura swept over and turned the nearby buildings black.


    "It''s over."


    "Is this the end?"


    The elites within the God''s Array Building fell into despair and fear.


    "There''s still a chance." Zhao Feng''s eyes became sharp as he touched the substandard God armguard.


    Bo~~~~


    The elites and experts all poured their True Yuan into the five-colored whirlpool array.


    "Go!" Xin Wuheng and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge guided two five-colored beams of light out from the whirlpool array.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    These two five-colored beams of light merged into the two biggest flaws of the God''s Forbidden Array core in an attempt to repair it.


    Life or death depended on this, and everyone held their breaths as their hearts tightened.

 863 Five Poison Distinct Bee

    Chapter 863 - Five Poison Distinct Bee


    Outside Xie Yang Palace, the misty light around the God''s Forbidden Array had become extremely faint and seemed like it could break at any moment.


    Boom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s head and part of its body, which was about four or five hundred yards long, managed to squeeze into Xie Yang Palace.


    Wu~~~~!


    The roar of a dragon sounded throughout the entire Xie Yang Palace as a Destructive dragon aura swept over, causing the souls and bloodlines of countless beings within the palace to tremble in fear.


    It was as if the entire Ancient God''s palace was about to enter doomsday.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this instant, a purple-and-blood-colored light started to glow on the surface of the God''s Forbidden Array and shoot toward the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, but not a single mark was left behind.


    In front of the God''s Array Building, the elites and geniuses from the lord dynasty fell into despair as the shadow of death covered them. Once the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon entered Xie Yang Palace, almost no one would be able to survive. The feeling from the Mark of Destruction was the strongest it had ever been.


    Within the God''s Array Building, the Kings all poured their True Yuan into the five-colored whirlpool array.


    "It seems to be slightly effective."


    Xin Wuheng and Senior Martial Brother Zhuge created some complex hand techniques that summoned two beams of five-colored light from within the whirlpool array, which then merged into the two biggest flaws of the array core.


    Zhao Feng stood on the side and just watched. In terms of True Yuan, he was the weakest and wouldn''t be able to do much.


    On the other hand, Nan Gongsheng helped out. A purple-and-blood-colored whirlpool formed on his palm, which then merged into the whirlpool array like a flowing stream.


    Boom!


    The whirlpool array seemed to light up everything nearby and start to hum.


    The other Kings all revealed stunned expressions. It could be said that Nan Gongsheng alone was the same as Xuanyuan Wen, Zhao Yufei, and the other Void God Realms combined.


    Although not every King was participating, there was at least twenty here, and Xuanyuan Wen was an Emperor.


    The God power is absolutely stunning even though Nan Gongsheng can''t even fully use it. That''s only using the tip of the iceberg. Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled.


    A couple breaths later, the undulation of power within the God''s Array Building seemed to make the core of the array start recovering. Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye saw that the God''s Array seemed to flow smoother.


    Apart from Zhao Feng, Xin Wuheng, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, and a small number of people, the others didn''t feel much.


    "Hmm? What¡­?" The small portion of the Black Serpent Dragon that had entered Xie Yang Palace suddenly froze. It could feel that the God''s Forbidden Array''s rate of recovery was becoming stronger.


    Ten breaths later:


    Weng~


    The dim misty light from the God''s Forbidden Array started to become brighter.


    "Ants, this will only delay your death~~~!" The Black Serpent Dragon''s angry roar sounded as its enormous body started to struggle in the hole.


    In just the time it took to make tea, the large body of the Black Serpent Dragon started to twist and squeeze under the God''s Forbidden Array.


    The Xie Yang Palace was a God''s palace, and the God''s Forbidden Array was used to deal with other God-tier experts. At its peak, even those at the Heavenly Divine Realm would find it hard to break through.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom! Boom!


    Thousands and dozens of thousands of purple-and-blood-colored lights formed on the surface of the God''s Forbidden Array and shot toward the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    The counterattack and squeezing of the Forbidden Array made the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon roar in fury. As the God''s Forbidden Array started to recover and counterattack, the pressure it faced increased, and its body was almost stuck in the hole it made.


    Wu~~ Roar~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave an unwilling roar as it retreated back outside Xie Yang Palace, and the hole quickly recovered.


    The more damage a certain part of the God''s Forbidden Array received, the more power would be directed to that location. Therefore, fighting against the God''s Forbidden Array by oneself was like a human resisting against Heaven and Earth. It was already incredible that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had reached the level it did.


    Within the God''s Array Building:


    "We''ve succeeded¡­!"


    The Kings that helped out all let out a long breath and felt that they had survived a brush with death.


    "Thank you, everyone." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge wiped his sweat and gave a smile. "The two biggest flaws in the central array are being fixed. Even though its defensive capabilities haven''t increased, its recovery speed and sensitivity have."


    The defense of the God''s Forbidden Array depended on the power of its core. However, after so many years had passed by, the power of its core had started to weaken, so its defenses weren''t as strong as before. However, as the flaws in the array were repaired, the flow of the array became smoother and increased the rate of repair.


    At this moment, the aura of the Destructive dragon faded away.


    "There''s still a month or two before the Divine Illusion Dimension returns to the continent zone."


    "Hahaaha, we just need to last a month or two and we''ll be able to survive."


    The experts outside the God''s Array Building were overjoyed.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng also revealed smiles. After all, they managed to stall for more time.


    The Kings then started to repair the flaw in the central array the best they could. Three days later, the group of Kings walked out of the God''s Array Building, exhausted.


    Weng~ Bo~~


    The flashing white door frame on the surface of the God''s Array Building also faded away.


    "The biggest flaw in the central array has been fixed. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon shouldn''t be able to enter within the next two months." Xin Wuheng nodded his head.


    Everyone only needed to stay in Xie Yang Palace for the next month or two before they could return to the continent zone.


    "Hehe, there''s still a month or two left. Why don''t we go check out the rest of the fortune within Xie Yang Palace?"


    "Hahaha, that black loach can only watch as we salvage everything within Xie Yang Palace."


    The elites outside the God''s Array Building were filled with joy.


    "We still have two months of time within Xie Yang Palace?" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other.


    The other groups wouldn''t just sit there and wait for the Divine Illusion Dimension to close for two months straight. One had to know that they might not have even discovered one hundredth of Xie Yang Palace. How could they miss such a good chance?


    "Quickly!"


    Some of the groups quickly left the God''s Array Building.


    Ceng! Shua! Shua! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Flashes of light appeared in front of the God''s Array Building as all the groups took action.


    "Zhao Feng, we''ll meet later." Xin Wuheng greeted Zhao Feng before leaving by himself.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were also planning on taking action.


    "Brother Feng, wait for a moment," Zhao Yufei suddenly sent Zhao Feng a private message, which stopped his footsteps.


    Mo Dongyao and the others from Sky Sword Pavilion hadn''t left either. Mo Dongyao was listening to the orders of the Little Sword Saint ¨C before leaving Xie Yang Palace, follow Zhao Feng.


    According to the promise, the Little Sword Saint would owe Zhao Feng a favor if he made sure everyone from Sky Sword Pavilion was able to leave Xie Yang Palace safely.


    "Yufei, what are you thinking of?" Zhao Feng asked.


    As everyone was safe for the next month or two, all the groups would try to scout out more of Xie Yang Palace and gather resources.


    "Brother Feng, the Duanmu Family found a legendary treasure that can increase the chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm in our scouting earlier," Zhao Yufei said in a low tone as she walked over to the duo.


    Something that can increase the chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm? Zhao Feng''s heart jumped. There was such a peerless treasure in Xie Yang Palace?


    The Mystic Light Realm was an extremely tough barrier to cross in the Fan Universe. The once-famous Purple Night Sacred Lord was only a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord. Although Demigod Kun Yun had the title of "Demigod," he was also technically considered to be within the Mystic Light Realm.


    The Mystic Light Realm was the closest to the Heavenly Divine Realm. Even Zhao Feng''s heart thumped; he was unable to resist the temptation of such a peerless treasure.


    Now that Zhao Feng''s Emperor Intent had reawakened and he had enough resources, he would be able to recover to the level of his previous life within half a year. He had the potential to cultivate to the peak Void God Realm and become a true Emperor within two or three years.


    After that, he would also face the gate to the Mystic Light Realm like everyone else. This wasn''t that far away for him.


    On top of that, his master, Duanmu Qing, had failed to break through to the Mystic Light Realm, so he definitely needed such a peerless treasure as well.


    "Let''s go." Zhao Feng decided without even thinking about it.


    A treasure that could help one break through to the Mystic Light Realm was extremely rare even outside the Divine Illusion Dimension. Zhao Feng needed to take this chance, even if it would be extremely difficult.


    Four hours later, the Duanmu Family led them to a garden near the edge of Xie Yang Palace.


    Zhao Feng could smell an enticing aroma when they arrived. He felt his blood flow more smoothly and become calm, as if he was a floating saint.


    "Incredible, just the smell alone is so enticing."


    "How many unique plants are there in this garden?"


    The elites and geniuses from Sky Sword Pavilion were dazed and stunned. There was a wall around the garden, and everyone could only see a portion of the scenery within.


    Zhao Feng''s heart jumped when he inspected it with his God''s Spiritual Eye. Any flower within the garden was comparable to the value of the Green Water Sky Lotus. A small number of them were enough to move the hearts of even Emperors and Sacred Lords.


    What was more incredible was that there was a lot of different flowers in the garden; over a hundred types had bloomed. There was also a large number that hadn''t bloomed yet.


    "Everyone, be careful. The garden is extremely dangerous," the green-robed elder warned in a low tone, and all the people from the Duanmu Family were extremely tense and cautious.


    Weng Weng Weng


    When one looked closely, they would see that there were flashing five-colored bees spread out across the garden. These bees weren''t very big; they were mainly about the size of a thumb. The bigger ones were the size of a baby''s fist.


    However, any one of these multi-colored bees radiated an aura comparable to the Great Origin Core Realm. Some of the elite bees radiated an aura comparable to a half-step King, and each area had a Bee King whose aura was comparable to a Peak-tier King.


    "Five Poison Distinct Bees ¨C an ancient type of insect whose bloodline is close to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!"


    Some of the older elites from Sky Sword Pavilion couldn''t help but take in a cold breath.


    From the looks of it, there were probably a million Five Poison Distinct Bees. What was more terrifying though was a pitch-black palace-like beehive on a large tree in the depths of the garden.

 864 Hundred Origin Sacred Honey

    Chapter 864 - Hundred Origin Sacred Honey


    Weng Weng Weng


    Thousands upon thousands of Five Poison Distinct Bees within the depths of the garden formed streams of bees as they surged into the palace-like beehive. There was an occasional Bee King around the beehive, while the normal Five Poison Distinct Bees swarmed the sky and surrounded the pitch-black beehive. The sight of it made one instinctively cry out in exclamation.


    Each Five Poison Distinct Bee would be deadly in the outside world; the weakest of them was comparable to the Great Origin Core Realm.


    "According to the records, the Five Poison Distinct Bees are venomous bees that can unleash a lethal poisonous attack that can kill things stronger than themselves. This attack will also kill them as well, but it makes other beings warier of them," the green-robed elder from the Duanmu Family said in a solemn tone as his eyes were filled with wariness.


    "Ability to kill things stronger than themselves and die alongside the enemy?" Mo Dongyao and company from Sky Sword Pavilion couldn''t help but take in a cold breath. This meant that the Great Origin Core Realm bees were able to kill half-step Kings and even threaten full Kings.


    Of course, the price of this was death, but a crazy tactic like mutual destruction was something that everyone feared.


    At this moment, everyone''s scalps tingled as they glanced at the venomous bees that had to be counted by the thousands.


    "Once the Five Poison Distinct Bees attack, they will die. Normal bees can kill half-step Kings while the elite bees can kill Kings. As for the Bee Kings, they would be able to threaten Emperors¡­."


    Zhao Feng''s heart trembled at his analysis. Even Nan Gongsheng, who was now extremely strong, got rid of his underestimation.


    If there were just a couple hundred Five Poison Distinct Bees, the duo would be able to look down on them, but the number of venomous bees within the garden was simply too high.


    However, what was more unfathomable was the palace-like beehive on the large tree. Everyone realized that the elite bees and even the Bee Kings were extremely wary and cautious when entering the palace-like beehive, as if they were bowing down to an emperor.


    Nan Gongsheng''s nose ring shook as he felt a terrifying aura within the beehive.


    "Bee Kings¡­ Bee Emperors¡­ Bee Empress¡­" Zhao Feng''s left eye saw something terrifying within the hive.


    There was at least a few dozen Bee Kings within the hive. Adding on the amount outside, the number had exceeded one hundred.


    The strength of these Bee Kings was close to a Peak-tier King, and there were still the Bee Emperors and Bee Empress.


    Bee Emperors were comparable to Void God Realm Emperors, and there were about five of them within the hive. However, the strongest was the Bee Empress. The Bee Empress was the size of a room, and its aura was enough to suppress Heaven and Earth. Even if an Emperor arrived, they would retreat.


    Of course, Zhao Feng also saw what their target was. There was a multi-colored water-like honey in the hive near the Bee Empress.


    "Only the Bee Empress can create the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, and it can only make some every century. It requires high-quality nectar and needs at least one hundred different types of peak-grade flowers¡­." Zhao Yufei explained in a low tone.


    The Hundred Origin Sacred Honey was Zhao Feng and company''s main goal, but after they saw the powerful forces here, most of them wanted to leave. When Zhao Feng revealed the number of Bee Kings and Bee Emperors within the hive, everyone took in a cold breath.


    "There''s over a hundred Bee Kings and five Bee Emperors. On top of that, there are thousands upon thousands of elite and normal bees."


    Everyone couldn''t help but hiccup. That beehive was a kingdom of venomous bees. Their forces were comparable to a three-star power.


    "Terrifying! We might not be able to conquer this venomous bee kingdom even if we get all the groups in Xie Yang Palace together." Mo Dongyao shook her head. She didn''t want Sky Sword Pavilion to take this risk.


    "Although the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey has the ability to increase one''s state of existence and chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm by 30-40%, we will suffer heavy losses even if we manage to obtain some Sacred Honey." The green-robed elder shook his head.


    Before this, they only found a kingdom of venomous bees and didn''t know the whole truth. Putting aside the strength of the Bee Empress, each of the five Bee Emperors was comparable to a Void God Realm Emperor, and they had the ability to kill those stronger than themselves on top of that.


    "The strength of the Bee Empress may have reached the level of a Sacred Lord," Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other and concluded.


    After all, the strength of the Bee Empress had surpassed Bee Emperors, and she was the supreme ruler of the venomous bee kingdom. Therefore, it wasn''t an exaggeration to rate it as having the battle-power of a Sacred Lord.


    Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord. Those from the Duanmu Family and Sky Sword Pavilion were scared and almost ran away on the spot. At this moment, the forces from the Duanmu Family and Sky Sword Pavilion had lost all will to fight.


    Nan Gongsheng''s expression was solemn as he looked at the pitch-black beehive with wariness. Although he didn''t put normal Emperors in his eyes, there was a Sacred Lord-level existence in that beehive. Furthermore, all of the Five Poison Distinct Bees had a mutually destructive technique.


    "We can use our intelligence," an emotionless voice stood out from the group of people that was filled with fear.


    "That¡­ is there a method?" Everyone looked at the purple-haired Origin Core Realm youth with surprise.


    Nan Gongsheng''s heart shook. Even he didn''t dare to do anything carelessly with his current strength, but Zhao Feng''s tone made it sound as if it wasn''t too troublesome at all.


    "Although the Bee Empress might be strong, it''s one with the enormous beehive. All the essence that the Five Poison Distinct Bees manage to extract is given to it. It''s the center and core of the kingdom." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    The only thing that made him wary was the Sacred Lord-level Bee Empress, but if it was restricted, then everything would be different.


    "Are you saying that the Bee Empress can''t move and attack us of its own accord?" A light flashed in Zhao Yufei''s eyes.


    "That''s right." Zhao Feng praised: "The Bee Empress can''t move. Once it flies out, the entire venomous bee kingdom will crumble."


    "That means that, as long as we don''t overdo it, it won''t do anything." Nan Gongsheng understood what he meant, and battle-intent surged in his eyes.


    After analyzing the weakness of the Bee Empress, Zhao Yufei and company were more confident than before. They started to discuss how to enter the beehive and obtain the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. This was still an extremely risky and dangerous task. Not everyone could participate.


    A group of four was formed to obtain the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. These four were Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and Mo Dongyao.


    Zhao Feng made some preparations before entering. He first left a spatial mark outside the garden with the Misty Spatial World.


    "Go." Zhao Feng then raised his hand, and a black figure flashed.


    Whoosh!


    Everyone watched as an ugly female scorpionman charged into the garden toward the large beehive.


    In terms of speed, this female scorpionman was comparable to normal Kings. Furthermore, this female scorpionman was covered by a layer of black metallic armor. Apart from her soul, the other aspects of this female scorpionman that Zhao Feng had enslaved were all incredibly close to a Void God Realm King.


    Weng Weng Weng


    The female scorpionman caught the attention of some bees after entering the garden, and it attracted even more as she headed toward the hive. In an instant, hundreds and thousands of venomous bees enveloped the female scorpionman.


    The female scorpionman waved furiously, and a layer of bees around her fell to the ground. However, under the suicidal attacks of the bees, her tough armor was still penetrated.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The stingers of some elite Five Poison Distinct Bees easily penetrated into her body.


    "Arghh!" The female scorpionman gave a cry as multi-colored toxic fumes appeared around her body.


    In just a couple breaths, she had turned into a puddle of black-colored blood and water.


    "The defense of that female scorpionman was very strong, so she can last the same amount of time as a normal King." Zhao Feng''s eyes were sharp as he analyzed.


    Hearing that, the hearts of everyone else went cold. Didn''t that mean that normal Kings wouldn''t even be able to last longer than a couple breaths against the bees? Furthermore, this was just the outer edges of the garden. Putting aside Bee Emperors, not even a single Bee King had appeared.


    Of course, the female scorpionman that Zhao Feng sent out was just a guinea pig to test the abilities of the Five Poison Distinct Bees, but the result was scarier than what they had anticipated.


    "Let''s go." Zhao Feng nodded his head as he gazed over Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, Mo Dongyao, and company.


    The elites of the Duanmu Family and Sky Sword Pavilion had a weird and preposterous feeling ¨C this purple-haired youth was the youngest and had the lowest cultivation, and yet he seemed like the leader of this quartet, which included the terrifying Nan Gongsheng who had just slaughtered a bunch of people not long ago.


    Ceng! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The quartet headed toward the garden. The person in front was Zhao Feng.


    Weng Weng Weng


    The nearby bees all charged over.


    Boom!


    These venomous bees were crushed into pulp by a faint golden lightning barrier before they even managed to get close to Zhao Feng.


    After breaking through to the 5th level of the Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng was able to fight and even suppress Kings with his physical strength alone. Normal Kings would be unable to stop him if he got close.


    This was just the beginning stages of the 5h level of the Sacred Lightning Body. Once he reached the late stages of the 5th level, he would be able to fight against all Emperors and fear no one under the Mystic Light Realm.


    Apart from the most precious Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, the beehive also has Hundred Origin Fruit Juice, which has the ability to increase my state of existence and help my Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body¡­. Zhao Feng''s left eye gazed at the black beehive on the enormous tree.


    However, right now, the four people first needed to pass by the dozens of thousands of bees.


    Those from Sky Sword Pavilion and the Duanmu Family couldn''t help but sweat as they saw the hundreds and thousands of Five Poison Distinct Bees charge toward the quartet.


    "This step is the easy part."


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique as his left eye turn into a purple abyss.


    A stunning scene appeared; the bodies of the bright and colorful Five Poison Distinct Bees froze the moment they got close.


    Weng Weng Weng


    The hundreds of bees that had approached were like a group of guards that surrounded Zhao Feng and company with respect and awe. It was as if they were protecting the quartet.

 865 Sacred Lord Bee Empress

    Chapter 865 - Sacred Lord Bee Empress


    This scene almost made the spectating elites from the Duanmu Family and Sky Sword Pavilion cry out.


    Weng Weng Weng


    The first group of one hundred venomous bees obediently circled Zhao Feng and company the instant they got near. Amongst them were some elite bees that were comparable to half-step Kings. If they used their suicidal attacks, they could even take down Void God Realm Kings down with them.


    The second group of two hundred bees were hesitant as they glanced at the actions of the first group.


    Shua!


    In an instant, two hundred mental energy Intents scanned across the second group of venomous bees.


    Weng! Weng!


    The body of these venomous bees froze, and they soon entered the protective convoy with respect and fear. This meant that there was now more than three hundred Five Poison Distinct Bees around Zhao Feng and company.


    Zhao Feng''s footsteps slowed down a bit as he circulated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and started to enslave the alarmed bees. Zhao Feng would only use the Dark Heart Seal to enslave the elite bees, then he would use the elite venomous bees to indirectly control the normal bees.


    Around half the time it took to make tea later, several thousand Five Poison Distinct Bees surrounded Zhao Feng and company. There were about sixty enslaved elite venomous bees.


    Such a quantity of venomous bees was like a whirlwind as they covered Zhao Feng and company completely. Not only were they covered, even their auras was hidden.


    "That''s about it." Zhao Feng nodded his head and led the way as the several thousand Five Poison Distinct Bees surrounded them and hid their auras.


    After that, not many bees approached. The normal bees would be scared away by the elite venomous bees that Zhao Feng controlled, and if elite venomous bees came, Zhao Feng would enslave them too.


    "These elite venomous bees are comparable to half-step Kings that can take down Void God Realm Kings if they use their suicidal attacks." Zhao Feng was full of smiles.


    Any elite venomous bee that was suspicious and came over would be enslaved by Zhao Feng.


    In the venomous bee kingdom, normal bees were like soldiers that only took orders. Only elite bees had a bit of consciousness.


    Zhao Feng enslaved the elite venomous bees to control the lesser bees.


    Nan Gongsheng and the others were surprised. They didn''t think that Zhao Feng would have thought of such a method to enter the venomous bee kingdom so easily.


    As time passed, the number of elite bees that were heading toward the palace-like beehive was increasing.


    At the same moment:


    Weng~~


    A Bee King charged over, as if it was questioning why these venomous bees were "on strike."


    "Good!"


    Zhao Feng gathered his Eye Intent and unleashed a forbidden eye-bloodline technique. A wave of cold aura instantly seeped into the soul of the Bee King.


    The Five Poison Distinct Bees were all very small and weak, both physically and mentally. The terrifying part about this species was that they lived in giant groups and had suicidal attacks. They were unlucky to have met Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    The Bee King struggled for a moment before being enslaved by Zhao Feng; the process was smoother than they expected.


    This was the benefit that the reawakened Emperor Intent brought. Although Zhao Feng''s cultivation was low, his body was strong and his Soul eye-bloodline secret techniques were comparable to an Emperor''s.


    Mo Dongyao revealed a look of shock as she glanced deeply at Zhao Feng.


    Those from Sky Sword Pavilion and the Duanmu Family were all full of wariness. Once a Bee King unleashed their suicidal attack, they could threaten and even kill Void God Realm Emperors, and Zhao Feng now controlled one.


    After controlling a Bee King, the process was much smoother. Zhao Feng and company soon arrived below the giant pitch-black beehive.


    With a Bee King and many elite venomous bees around them, the nearby venomous bees all went around and didn''t dare to question them. The only thing that Zhao Feng needed to be on guard against was the other Bee Kings. After entering the beehive, there was also a chance that they would meet the stronger Bee Emperors.


    With Zhao Feng''s current soul-strength, it would be extremely difficult for him to enslave a Bee Emperor. Even if he could, it would cause a lot of racket and attract the attention of the other Bee Emperors.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The quartet entered the giant beehive under the cover of the swarm of bees.


    The beehive was the size of a palace and contained many venomous bees, including larvae and eggs.


    "Try to avoid the Bee Emperors. Aim directly for the Bee Empress''s location," Zhao Feng said in a low tone.


    It wouldn''t very difficult for them to handle one Bee Emperor, but there were five Bee Emperors within the beehive. What was more terrifying was that, if a Bee Emperor unleashed their suicidal attack, they might be able to injure or kill even a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord.


    Zhao Feng didn''t want to see that. Luckily, Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye had already seen the layout of the beehive, and he had obtained a lot of information from the Bee King.


    Zhao Feng and company were more cautious after entering the enormous beehive. They met the occasional Bee King on the way, and Zhao Feng would always carefully use his Dark Heart Seal and try not to create a disturbance.


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng had tamed a few Bee Kings and over a hundred elite bees. In this period of time, Zhao Feng and company successfully gathered some Hundred Origin Fruit Juice.


    The Hundred Origin Sacred Honey was the essence and origin of the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice. The Hundred Origin Fruit Juice could increase one''s state of existence, and it was helpful even for Void God Realm Kings. It could even create a solid foundation for one trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm later.


    The Fruit Juice was even beneficial for Zhao Feng''s 5th level of the Sacred Lightning Body, and Nan Gongsheng''s and Mo Dongyao''s state of existence were slightly lower.


    Zhao Feng got 40% of the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice while the other three got 20% each. No one disagreed with how it was split.


    The group reached the very depths of the beehive, and a strong aura crushed over. It was as if Heaven and Earth had been suppressed. This surge of aura surpassed even Void God Realm Emperors.


    Normal Void God Realm Kings would have spat out a mouthful of blood already, but Zhao Feng and company weren''t normal.


    "Not good, the Bee Empress has sensed us¡­!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically.


    He realized that he had underestimated the Bee Empress. Although the Bee Empress couldn''t move, it was still the supreme ruler of the venomous bee kingdom. Over half of the materials that made up the beehive came from it.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that the Bee Empress was occupied with reproducing, it probably would have sensed Zhao Feng and company earlier.


    "Move!" The hearts of Zhao Feng and company shook as they charged toward the cave where the Bee Empress was located.


    At the same instant, the other Bee Kings and even some Bee Emperors were alarmed and flew over.


    Ceng! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and company used their full strength to head toward the cave that housed the Bee Empress.


    The cave became closer and closer. It was as if the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey was right in front of them. However, right at this moment:


    Qiu!


    A Bee Emperor screamed and charged toward the quartet with an aura that was comparable to Void God Realm Emperors.


    "Leave the Bee Emperor to me. All of you go handle the Bee Empress and obtain the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey," Mo Dongyao said and turned around with a cold gaze as she held the tattered Ancient God sword. The outline of the Little Sword Saint formed behind her.


    "I''ll deal with the Bee Kings." Zhao Yufei also chose to stay behind.


    Apart from the Bee Emperors, there were dozens of Bee Kings, and their average strength was comparable to Peak-tier Kings.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng left some bees behind to help the two girls as he and Nan Gongsheng charged toward the cave where the Bee Empress was at.


    Boom!


    Before they entered the cave, they felt a terrifying aura surge over. Zhao Feng''s True Yuan started to tremble and almost freeze. His soul also shook slightly, and the blood within him tossed and turned.


    This was the Bee Empress ¨C its aura was comparable to Sacred lords.


    Normal Kings would be unable to even circulate their True Yuan or Intent. Even with Zhao Feng''s powerful body and soul, his actions were stiff, and he felt that it was extremely difficult to move forward.


    Weng~~


    A dark multi-colored room-sized bee with golden eyes was located in the cave. Just one gaze or thought from it seemed like it could rule Heaven and Earth. However, the Bee Empress was merged with the beehive and couldn''t easily move.


    "So, this is the Bee Empress." Zhao Feng felt that it was hard to breathe. He opened the Little World within his Misty Spatial World and still wasn''t able to completely block the Sacred Lord aura. At best, it was weakened by 20-30%.


    Normal Kings would have knelt to the ground and started vomiting blood already.


    "Let me do it."


    A purple-and-blood-colored divine light appeared around Nan Gongsheng. It gave off a peerless aura that could pass through the physical and soul dimensions as it clashed with the Sacred Lord aura.


    At the same time, his purple-and-blood-colored hair blew in the air as if it was dancing, and the purple-and-blood-colored mark on his forehead shone. A wicked and cruel smile formed on his face; he was like the Lord of Evil.


    Zhao Feng felt the pressure on himself decrease dramatically, especially in the physical dimension.


    Jiang!


    At this moment, a supreme Sword Dao aura appeared behind him.


    "Soul Sword Slash!"


    Mo Dongyao raised the tattered Ancient God sword, and the white sword-light figure behind her expanded to a hundred yards wide as it released a brilliant beam of crystal-like sword-light that landed on the Bee Emperor.


    Siiii!!


    The Bee Emperor screamed. Although it was physically unharmed, its soul was directly destroyed by that sword.


    "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Light!"


    A brilliant radiance of light shot out from around Zhao Yufei. Thousands upon thousands of purple beams passed through the swarm of venomous bees that charged over.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The purple light made wave after wave of bees fall to the ground.


    In just a breath, three Bee Kings were slain alongside thousands of elite and normal venomous bees.


    Boom~~~~!


    Even the groups outside the garden could feel the shaking from the beehive and see the radiance of purple light.


    "It''s Zhao Yufei''s Spiritual Race bloodline secret technique!" The green-robed elder''s heart tightened.


    Mo Dongyao and Zhao Yufei had a single-target and wide-ranged attack respectively. Their teamwork was perfect. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng didn''t need to worry about them.


    The aura from the two females surprised even the Sacred Lord Bee Empress.


    "Hundred Origin Sacred Honey." Zhao Feng''s gaze landed on the half-solidified multi-colored honey in the cave behind the Bee Empress.

 866 Stunning Effec

    Chapter 866 - Stunning Effect


    Within the cave where the Bee Empress was located, the aura of Nan Gongsheng''s divine power was able to resist against the Bee Empress''s aura for a short amount of time. Outside the cave, Zhao Yufei and Mo Dongyao had currently stabilised the situation.


    The half-solidified multi-colored honey was right in front of them. It was extremely alluring; it could actually help one reach the Mystic Light Realm.


    However, even in this situation, Zhao Feng still didn''t lose his cool. His left eye-bloodline locked on to the Bee Empress opposite them, as if trying to see through it. Zhao Feng''s body suddenly tensed up as he started to focus.


    "Zhao Feng, hurry!"


    Cold sweat started to appear on Nan Gongsheng''s forehead as the purple-and-blood-colored divine light around him started to tremble and glitter with purple-and-silver light. He circulated all his power but was unable to stop the Bee Empress.


    The strength of the Bee Empress had reached the level of a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord, and she was countless times stronger than the Magnificent Power of a King.


    Zhao Feng still didn''t move. His left eye locked on to a dark golden eye of the Bee Empress.


    Surprise flashed through the Bee Empress''s eyes. It was waiting for this youth to impatiently steal the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey; it didn''t expect him to be so calm.


    Zhao Feng could sense the killing intent brewing from the Bee Empress. Once he tried to obtain the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, he would be immediately attacked.


    Being ambushed by a Sacred Lord wasn''t something that Void God Realms could resist.


    Hu~


    Time seemed to freeze at this moment.


    Nan Gongsheng and the two girls were unable to last much longer.


    Weng Weng Weng


    At the same time, thousands upon thousands of venomous bees inside the venomous bee kingdom started to gather in the cave. There were thousands and tens of thousands of elite bees that were comparable to half-step Kings and over a hundred Bee Kings whose battle-power was comparable to Peak-tier Kings.


    This meant that Zhao Feng and company were essentially facing an entire three-star power. It was extremely dangerous, and Nan Gongsheng understood the pressure that Zhao Feng was facing. It wouldn''t be easy to deal with the killing intent of a Sacred Lord unless it was the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor at his peak.


    Miao miao!


    The appearance of a silver-gray cat broke the tense atmosphere. The cat was only the size of a palm and seemed to be harmless, but what it did next enraged the Bee Empress.


    Miao~~


    A spade appeared in the little thieving cat''s paws, which then dug into the ground in the direction of the honey.


    Doosh!


    The little thieving cat successfully managed to obtain a spade-full of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey.


    Boom! Boom! Weng~~


    With this one spade, the entire beehive started to tremble as if it was about to crumble. No one knew what kind of abilities this spade had that it could create this much of a disturbance.


    The Bee Empress roared and made space itself tremble.


    Whoosh!


    It then opened its mouth and spat out a burst of dark, multi-colored flames.


    The instant this dark, multi-colored flame appeared, space started to tremble, and a forbidden aura made the four''s hearts turn cold.


    Surprisingly, there was a forbidden Space-type aura that covered the area where the multi-colored flame was about to hit. Zhao Feng and the little thieving seemed to freeze in time.


    "Not good! Could this be the Bee Empress''s Origin Sacred Flame!?" Nan Gongsheng''s heart jumped.


    This power was only below that of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon outside Xie Yang Palace. For the four present, the Origin Sacred Flame was unrivalled. Even if peak Emperors came, they would be instantly slain.


    No wonder Zhao Feng was acting like it was such a great foe.


    Miao~~!


    The little thieving cat screamed as if sensing danger that it had never felt before.


    "Spatial Movement!"


    A whirlpool of eye-bloodline power covered the dark multi-colored flames and the little thieving cat.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat and the multi-colored flames around it suddenly disappeared.


    Surprise flashed through the dark golden eyes of the Bee Empress, and its expression changed dramatically as a whirlpool suddenly covered it.


    Whoosh!


    A forbidden multi-colored flame landed right on the Bee Empress''s face.


    Siiiiii~~~!


    Screams sounded through the air, shaking both the physical and mental dimensions.


    Bam! Bam! Boom!


    The beehive started to shake as a terrifying aura radiated from it, making the hearts of those from Sky Sword Pavilion and the Duanmu Family outside shake.


    "Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, come!"


    Using this chance, Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World and took all the nearby Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. At this moment in time, the terrifying disturbance of the Bee Empress had sealed the air.


    Zhao Feng''s face was bright red, and creaking sounds could be heard in his soul. The killing intent of the Bee Empress had locked on to him.


    "Quickly retreat."


    Surges of purple-and-silver light appeared around Nan Gongsheng and enveloped Zhao Feng.


    Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng barely managed to retreat from the cave. At this moment, Mo Dongyao and Zhao Yufei had also retreated toward the cave under the attacks of several Bee Emperors, dozens of Bee Kings, and millions of regular bees.


    The four gathered at the cave entrance.


    "Very good¡­ success." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile as he raised his arm, but it was at this moment that the unexpected happened.


    The bloodied and blurred face of the Bee Empress revealed a gruesome expression filled with killing intent as it opened its mouth.


    "Watch out!" Zhao Yufei and Mo Dongyao yelled out.


    Weng~~


    A multi-colored light shot out of the Bee Empress''s mouth. It was a wide-range attack that would cover everyone standing at the entrance.


    Mockery appeared in the Bee Empress''s eyes. She had analyzed that Zhao Feng''s Spatial Movement could only target small individual attacks, so this time, she used a wide-range attack that could take care of all of them at once.


    The undulation of a forbidden power covered the quartet.


    "Hehe, goodbye." Zhao Feng raised his arm and gave a wave.


    Shua!


    A layer of silver space appeared around the four, and there was a flash of silver alongside a wisp of a spatial disturbance.


    Boom!


    The multi-colored light instantly landed where the four were just standing, but all that was left behind was a faint transparent silver light. The four had disappeared.


    Outside the garden:


    Weng~~ Shua!


    A blurry layer of silver light that contained four people started to become clearer. The four were Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and Mo Dongyao.


    "That was far too risky."


    Zhao Yufei and Mo Dongyao both let out a breath. Luckily, Zhao Feng had used the substandard God-level Misty Spatial World in time and took everyone back with him.


    Zhao Feng had left a spatial mark behind before they left in case something happened. He had already guessed that it would be impossible not to alarm the Bee Empress if they wanted to obtain the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, and alarming the Bee Empress was the same as alarming the entire venomous bee kingdom.


    If it wasn''t for the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng would never have dared to enter the beehive.


    "It''s good that you''re okay."


    The green-robed elder from the Duanmu Family let out a breath. He was mainly worried for Zhao Yufei, who had a Spiritual Race bloodline. There would be no bottleneck for her to break through to the Mystic Light Realm, so she didn''t need to take this risk.


    "Brother Feng, did we obtain the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey?" Zhao Yufei still had a relieved expression as she let out a long breath. She had already made the decision that she would try help Senior Martial Brother Duanmu obtain something that could help him break through to the Sacred Lord rank before she had even entered the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "We did it. We obtained a decent amount." Zhao Feng was full of smiles.


    Although he had only obtained a small amount of the total Hundred Origin Sacred Honey within the beehive, it was still enough for a couple dozen people, and the ratio of how it was split was the same as before. Zhao Feng got 40% to himself while the other 60% was split evenly amongst Zhao Yufei, Nan Gongsheng, and Mo Dongyao.


    Weng Weng Weng


    Right at this moment, a huge wave of venomous bees charged out from the garden, and the angry roar of the Bee Empress could be heard from the depths of the garden.


    "Run!" Those from Sky Sword Pavilion and the Duanmu Family jumped up in fright.


    "Don''t worry, those are just the bees that I''ve enslaved," Zhao Feng raised his hand and said.


    Enslaved bees?


    Everyone had to force themselves to remain calm as almost a thousand bees flew out. There were three Bee Kings and over a hundred elite bees. The auras of the remaining bees were at least comparable to the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Zhao Feng only took some of the elite bees.


    Shua!


    He waved the armguard and opened the Little World so that these venomous bees could enter.


    "I suggest that we leave this place." Mo Dongyao was uneasy.


    The aura of the Bee Empress seeped out from the garden and made the hearts of everyone jump. They couldn''t even fully control their True Yuan.


    Half a day later, the group of people arrived at a quiet courtyard in Xie Yang Palace. Those from the Duanmu Family and Sky Sword Pavilion went to scout around some other places while Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng consolidated their foundations.


    In Xie Yang Palace, the only worry was whether their ability was strong enough or not. They didn''t need to worry that there wasn''t enough fortune.


    "Hundred Origin Fruit Juice."


    Zhao Feng first took out the fruit juice, which was ranked lower than the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey.


    The Hundred Origin Sacred Honey was the main ingredient of the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice. The Hundred Origin Fruit Juice needed at least a hundred top-grade nectars and a lot of time to form.


    One had to know there were many flowers in the garden comparable to the Green Water Sky Lotuses, and many of them weren''t even identifiable.


    It would be a waste if Zhao Feng used the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey right now, so he used the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice instead.


    Zhao Feng felt a refreshing aura travel throughout his organs and limbs after taking a sip of the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice.


    Maybe it was because of the characteristics of the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice, or maybe it was because of Zhao Feng''s powerful Sacred Lightning Body, but after the energy from the fruit juice entered Zhao Feng''s body, it was quickly absorbed.


    Just half the time it took to make tea later, Zhao Feng''s body shook as a light flashed through his eyes. A golden-blue light glowed around his body.


    "The effect of the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice has exceeded my expectations. My state of existence and body have both become stronger."


    Zhao Feng quickly circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and Wind Lightning Technique.


    The Hundred Origin Sacred Honey was extremely useful for directly breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm. Although the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice was a grade lower than the honey, it could still create a good foundation for Emperors that were trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    Three days later, the physical force coming from Zhao Feng became stronger and was approaching the early stages of the 5th level.


    Furthermore, the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice didn''t just affect the body. It also helped one''s cultivation dramatically. With the help of the King-level Crystal Core and the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice, the Water of Wind Lightning within Zhao Feng''s body reached the maximum level, and even a wisp of Wood and life could be felt.

 867 Key

    Chapter 867 - Key


    The Water of Wind Lightning that rippled around Zhao Feng''s body was like the ocean. It was continuous and as smooth as a sapphire.


    Zhao Feng had finally cultivated the first element of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning to its peak. His Wind Lightning Technique had reached the limit of the 6th level and had even slightly touched the 7th level. A tiny wisp of Life and Wood could be felt within the Water of Wind Lightning. This was the 7th level ¨C the Wood of Wind Lightning.


    "The first three levels of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique are the foundation of Wind Lightning. The fourth to sixth levels are the first of the five elements, and from the 7th level onward, each level creates a new element¡­."


    Joy appeared on Zhao Feng''s face. Each new element would increase his strength and allow him to use more techniques.


    The five elements were as such: from Metal came Water, from Water came Wood, from Wood came Fire, from Fire came Earth, and from Earth came Metal.


    He could''ve chosen any of the five elements for his first, and Zhao Feng picked Water. After Water came Wood; therefore, Zhao Feng''s second element of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was the Wood of Wind Lightning.


    Zhao Feng was very surprised that he was able to summon some Wood of Wind Lightning already. After all, his cultivation was only at the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm. In theory, he needed to be a half-step King at the minimum to form Wood of Wood Lightning.


    Zhao Feng soon knew why after thinking about it for a while.


    The Hundred Origin Fruit Juice contains the essence of Wood and various grasses. After all, this fruit juice is refined with more than a hundred types of peak-grade nectar, Zhao Feng thought.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be expectant of what effect the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey would have if the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice already had such an effect.


    Of course, for the moment, it still wasn''t suitable for Zhao Feng to use the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey because that would be a waste. The Hundred Origin Fruit Juice was enough for now.


    Thinking up to there, Zhao Feng took another couple gulps of the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice. He had a few barrels worth of Hundred Origin Fruit Juice.


    Time passed by, and the aura of Wood coming from Zhao Feng was becoming stronger. Four or five days later, a faint green Wood of Wind Lightning appeared on the surface of Zhao Feng''s body, and the Crystal Core within his body also became slightly bigger.


    "Hmm?" Nan Gongsheng, who was also in seclusion, twitched his nose. Zhao Feng gave off a surging aura of nature, and the grass and wood around him was more populated than before.


    "Late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm." Zhao Feng opened his eyes as a refreshing aura overtook him. This aura washed over Nan Gongsheng.


    Nan Gongsheng took a breath as he gave Zhao Feng a deep glance. The coldness on his face smoothed out a bit.


    "The Wood of Wind Lightning can protect against poison and has better recovery abilities. At the same time, it has pretty good damage against living things, and it has a strong eroding effect."


    Zhao Feng felt this new type of Wind Lightning.


    The Wood of Wind Lightning wasn''t very strong offensively; it was even weaker than the Water of Wind Lightning in that regard. However, its supportive abilities were better.


    Hu~ Weng~


    A green mist formed in the air above Zhao Feng''s head as lightning crackled. With the help of his Emperor Intent and various resources, Zhao Feng''s Wood of Wind Lightning started to gather.


    At the same time, the 7th level of the Wind Lightning Technique was able to refine his Sacred Lightning Body even better.


    Over the next few days, the aura of Zhao Feng''s Wood of Wind Lightning started to fade away. On the other hand, the aura of his body started to rise.


    Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was infinitely close to the early stages of the 5th level. Once he broke through, he would be able to suppress Domain-level Kings and even fight against Peak-tier Kings with just his physical body alone.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng''s cultivation was also rising.


    It could be said that Zhao Feng had no real bottleneck right now, including his cultivation and Sacred Lightning Body. If he was willing, Zhao Feng could break through to the Void God Realm with a month or two of seclusion, but Zhao Feng couldn''t do that. He couldn''t waste all of his precious time to cultivate when he was in Xie Yang Palace.


    "Zhao Feng, there''s only one month left till the Divine Illusion Dimension ends," Nan Gongsheng''s voice sounded.


    In the last half a month''s time, Nan Gongsheng''s power hadn''t become much stronger, but the flow of it was much smoother.


    In terms of pure power, Nan Gongsheng had already exceeded the level of Emperors. What was important to him was how to properly utilize this power.


    Firstly, it was obvious that Nan Gongsheng wasn''t able to clash against the Bee Empress for very long. Even though the Bee Empress was on the same level as a Sacred Lord, one had to know that the Bee Empress didn''t even specialize in battle and had almost no offensive techniques. Only its state of existence and raw power had reached the requirements of a Sacred Lord. If Nan Gongsheng had met a true Sacred Lord, he wouldn''t have been able to fight back at all.


    "There''s still one month left? We need to use this time wisely."


    Zhao Feng stood up. There was more than enough time to cultivate back in the continent zone.


    "I really want to meet the Bee Empress again."


    A purple-red-and-silver-colored light appeared around Nan Gongsheng. The terrifying aura of this power seemed to freeze space itself.


    "In terms of pure power, you aren''t weaker than Sacred Lords, but your level of comprehension is too low." Zhao Feng shook his head.


    Nan Gongsheng''s power was indeed very strong. Even the Wood of Wind Lightning in Zhao Feng''s body, which was comparable to the power of a King, started to freeze and felt hard to circulate.


    Unfortunately, Nan Gongsheng''s Intent and mastery weren''t enough, so he could only use 30-40% of his power, and that was under the assumption that he had improved over the last couple days.


    Hearing that, Nan Gongsheng became somewhat frustrated, but he gave up on finding the Bee Empress. If they didn''t have the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng and company may have all been killed already.


    "For now, I don''t need to worry about increasing my strength. At the very least, I''ll wait till my soul reaches the level of an Emperor," Nan Gongsheng decided.


    He could still see the difference between himself and Zhao Feng right now. If he met the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor at the peak of his previous life, Nan Gongsheng would lose.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng started to travel around Xie Yang Palace under a layer of silver and purple. The powerful aura from the duo made the hearts of nearby geniuses and elites jump.


    Luckily, the unrivalled Demonic Duo didn''t steal anything, and the fake duo didn''t appear again.


    In reality, after obtaining the inheritance of the Evil God, Nan Gongsheng''s personality had changed and he wanted to steal from anyone and everyone, but he was stopped by Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng could sense that Nan Gongsheng''s personality was slowly changing, but this was a "natural process." Zhao Feng couldn''t do anything to stop it.


    Time flew by quickly, and over the next month, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng went around to find more resources. The only problem was that the God''s Forbidden Array was extremely stable now, so they couldn''t enter the important areas.


    It was hard to find anything similar to the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. At the very best, the things they found were comparable to the Green Water Sky Lotuses.


    There were also some fortunes that Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng weren''t strong enough to handle. For example, there was a Spiritual Pet Garden within Xie Yang Palace, and many of the creatures inside were Sacred Lords. The powerful auras from this place made Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng not dare to approach.


    There were also some dangerous places that could instantly kill Emperors and injure Sacred Lords. The two didn''t want to play with their lives.


    Eventually, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng stood on top of a building and held their breaths.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng realized that the dimension they were in was starting to fade. The bricks, grasses, and wood in their sight started to become more transparent, as if they weren''t real.


    At the same time, all the other Kings also realized this.


    "The Divine Illusion Dimension is about to leave¡­." Xuanyuan Wen murmured.


    After calculating the time, they realized that they had been here for several months.


    "There''s probably a few days left." Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other.


    The Divine Illusion Dimension was an extremely unique dimension that connected with other places.


    Another half a day later, the dimension started to show signs of becoming more transparent.


    "Why do I feel that everything I experienced in the Divine Illusion Dimension wasn''t even real?" Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed.


    Even his God''s Spiritual Eye couldn''t see through this dimension. This feeling was similar to the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace when he couldn''t see through Liu Qinxin on the wall.


    "According to the Evil God Mental Thought Body, the Divine Illusion Dimension is a unique world created from the Dao of Illusion, similar to your Illusion Maze Domain. Furthermore, the Ancient God wasn''t actually the creator of this dimension. There were many other Gods here, and some experts have guessed that the Divine Illusion Dimension is a broken dimension left behind when the Ancient Era shattered." Nan Gongsheng inspected the dimension with a weird light in his eyes.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng felt as if the physical objects that he had obtained were both fake and real at the same time.


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered the Ancient Dream Realm in the dimension of his left eye. To a certain degree, these two dimensions had similarities.


    As time passed, the dimension they were in started to become fainter and more transparent. Most of the people were waiting to return, but on this day, some shocking news spread across Xie Yang Palace.


    "Quick! Stop the Blue Serpent King!" a voice sounded.


    "Not good!"


    "The Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changing Illusionist Dragon have obtained the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains!"


    Fear and panic spread amongst the humans.


    What!? Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng also jumped up in fright by this disturbance.


    Right at this moment:


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The group from the Ji Family arrived.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo?" Ji Lan paused for a moment before urgency appeared on her face. "The Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changing Illusionist Dragon were hiding amongst the humans, and those two thieves used the imperials to obtain the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains."


    "This is going to be troublesome." Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed.


    "There''s nothing we can do." Ji Lan was about to cry. "Apart from you, me, and a couple others, no one else''s eye-bloodline can see through the Thousand Changing Illusionist Dragon. Most of the people can''t even see their movements."

 868 The Last Momen

    Chapter 868 - The Last Moment


    "There''s nothing we can do¡­."


    The news created shockwaves throughout Xie Yang Palace at the very last moment. Fear and panic spread everywhere.


    The elites from Sky Suspension Palace, the Great Gan Imperials, Sky Sword Pavilion, the Duanmu Family, and various other forces started to search for the Blue Serpent King duo.


    However, the Xie Yang Palace was considered its own dimension, and all types of senses were dramatically weakened. It would be extremely difficult to find two people in here.


    What was more troublesome was the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon''s technique; only a few people were able to see through it.


    "Zhao Feng, think of something!" Ji Lan seemed to grasp onto the last straw of hope as she begged.


    She didn''t know why, but she felt confident in this youth whose cultivation wasn''t very high. If even Zhao Feng couldn''t do anything, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would descend.


    "There''s only one method left." Zhao Feng gave a sigh after some thinking.


    Xie Yang Palace was too big, so it would extremely difficult to find two people who were purposely hiding themselves even if he used the Eye of Heaven. Zhao Feng was only able to confirm their location last time because he knew that they would be taking action as the fake Demonic Duo, and the Building of Refinement was an area with a huge chunk of people. This time though, they were hiding, and they would be on guard against Zhao Feng.


    "What method?" Hope appeared in Ji Lan''s purple eyes, but Zhao Feng only looked at her and didn''t say anything.


    Ji Lan instantly understood; she still had a Mark of Destruction, so she wouldn''t be able to avoid alerting the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Let''s go."


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked at each other.


    Shua!


    The armguard on Zhao Feng''s arm lit up, and a silvery spatial undulation covered the duo. The next instant, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng disappeared under the gazes of the Ji Family group.


    "So¡­ that''s the power of the substandard God weapon, the Misty Spatial World?"


    The elites of the Ji Family had gaping mouths. They obviously didn''t know that Zhao Feng left nineteen spatial markings around the edges of Xie Yang Palace.


    At the same time, the top Kings from Sky Suspension Palace, the Great Gan Imperials, and company headed toward the outer edges of the Xie Yang Palace.


    "I hope we make it in time." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge took a deep breath. "There''s only one way to stop those two."


    At this instant, all the Kings within Xie Yang Palace were rushing toward the outer edges.


    No one knew how much time passed. At a certain point in time, at the edge of Xie Yang Palace:


    "We''re almost there¡­!"


    A transparent dark green light was merged with its surroundings as it headed in a certain direction. Ahead, outside the God''s Forbidden Array, was the dark shadow of a black scaled body.


    The dark green light covered the Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon.


    "Lord Black Serpent Dragon, we''re almost there!" Excitement appeared on the Blue Serpent King''s face.


    "Stop right there!"


    Right at this instant, a flash of dark silver appeared in front of them, revealing the figures of two purple-haired figures.


    "Purple-Haired Demonic Duo! How is this possible!?"


    The Blue Serpent King''s and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon''s hearts shook.


    Miao miao!


    A little dancing cat appeared in front of Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    Shua!


    The Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon were first surprised, then started to roar with laughter.


    "Hahahaha¡­! Zhao Feng, your Soul Dao eye-bloodline techniques are useless against us now." The Blue Serpent King roared with laughter as a surge of Emperor Intent shot out of his body and froze Heaven and Earth. Frost appeared on the grass and trees nearby.


    Weng~~


    A thick layer of ice crystals covered the Blue Serpent King''s body. The aura from his bloodline was enough to make normal Kings crumble in defeat.


    "Emperor Intent! The Blue Serpent King has become an Emperor."


    Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s expressions changed. The bloodline of the Blue Serpent King was in the top ten among Imperial Dao bloodlines, so his battle-power would be extremely close to a peak Emperor after breaking through.


    "Illusion God Mask." The Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon smiled as a clown mask appeared on his face. A surge of Soul Dao power emanated from it.


    "That''s a Soul Dao Inheritance Sacred Item." Zhao Feng''s expression became solemn.


    No wonder they weren''t scared. After becoming a Void God Realm Emperor, Wei Jing''s strength was even greater than Emperor Mu Yun because of his powerful bloodline. As for the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon, he was already extremely resilient against Soul Dao techniques, and after obtaining a Soul Dao Inheritance Sacred Item, he wasn''t scared of Emperor-level Soul Dao techniques anymore.


    "Let''s have a good two-on-two fight." Nan Gongsheng licked his lips as the purple-and-blood-colored symbol on his forehead became brighter, and the radiance of power from him seemed to freeze space around them.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye opened, and a ripple of golden-blue light was unleashed alongside the aura of his Sacred Lightning Body. However, this was just what Zhao Feng did on the surface; he also stealthily started to control the Bee Kings and elite bees in the Misty Spatial World.


    They were already secretly gathering their power.


    "Heh, we''re not that dumb."


    "Of you two thieves, one of you inherited the power of the Evil God and the other has the Misty Spatial World."


    The Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon had cunning expressions. They knew what happened in Xie Yang Palace with the help of the Black Serpent Dragon.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash of light, the Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon disappeared.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng didn''t see any traces of them.


    "They''re underground!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng both looked toward the ground.


    The Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon''s horn quickly spun as a yellow and orange light glittered around him.


    Whoosh!


    The Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon passed smoothly through the earth underground.


    "Earth Escape? The Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon knows how to dig?"


    Zhao Feng''s and Nan Gongsheng''s expressions changed dramatically. Although the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon was weaker than the Blue Serpent King, his supportive and running abilities were top-class.


    "Zhao Feng, do you know how to Earth Escape?" Nan Gongsheng asked.


    Zhao Feng''s face twitched as he rolled his eyes. He couldn''t do everything.


    At this instant, he was slightly regretful that he didn''t choose the Earth of Wind Lightning as his first element. If he had, then Zhao Feng could easily pass through the earth.


    Zhao Feng stomped his foot on the ground. The earth was extremely hard; putting aside burrowing underground, just digging a hole required a lot of effort. However, the bloodline of the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon actually had this unique ability.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly took out a spade and dug into the ground.


    Beng~ Boom Boom Boom~~~~!


    The earth started to shake, and Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng could both feel the earth under them shatter.


    "Arghh!"


    The Blue Serpent King duo underground both gave out a cry.


    Wah! Wah!


    The two both spat out mouthfuls of blood as they almost became stuck in the ground.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng looked weirdly at the spade in the little thieving cat''s paws.


    An enormous hole appeared where the little thieving cat dug into the ground, and countless cracks spread in every direction.


    Zhao Feng guessed that the little thieving cat''s spade had the ability to crush minerals. The spade should be a support-type substandard God weapon.


    Beng~ Beng~ Boom!


    The little thieving cat dug the spade into the ground a couple of times again.


    "Dammit!"


    The Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon both spat out a mouthful of blood as a muddy-yellow light covered them and brought them to the surface.


    "I advise the two of you to hand over the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains. Everyone is about to be able to leave the Divine Illusion Dimension safely," Zhao Feng said.


    In a two-on-two fight, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had a higher chance of victory, but if the Blue Serpent King duo just wanted to run, then it would be hard to make them stay behind. Defeating someone and killing someone were two completely different concepts.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The sound of flying appeared at this moment.


    "We made it."


    Xuanyuan Wen was the first of arrive. One could see the figures of Zhao Yufei, Mo Dongyao, Senior Martial Brother Zhuge, and some other strong Kings behind him.


    The Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon were about to be pincer attacked.


    "Zhao Feng, we can succeed if you can just stall those two for a short moment!" Senior Martial Brother Zhuge exclaimed.


    "No problem." Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were confident, and the arriving Kings let out a relieved expression. Luckily, Zhao Feng had the Misty Spatial World and managed to block the duo.


    "Hahaha¡­!" The Blue Serpent King roared with laughter as danger approached. The duo just stood there.


    "Why are you laughing!?"


    Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and the newly-arrived Kings felt their hearts become heavy.


    "None of you will be able to escape."


    The Blue Serpent King''s eyes went cold as a smile of mockery formed on his face. He spoke with absolute confidence.


    Wu~~~


    Right at this moment, the roar of a dragon sounded from outside the God''s Forbidden Array and changed the color of Heaven and Earth. Everyone couldn''t help but look toward the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon outside the God''s Forbidden Array.


    "Lord Black Serpent Dragon, this is the key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains."


    A male with thick eyebrows threw a large black key that was as wide as a tree through a gap toward the Black Serpent Dragon.


    The key to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains! Everyone focused, and their hearts jumped when they saw what happened.


    "Gu Chaozhi!" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng exclaimed.


    The male with thick eyebrows handing over the key was Gu Chaozhi from Earth Spirit Hall.


    "Hehe, Lord Black Serpent Dragon already saw through all of your plans, so we already gave the key to someone else. We were just a decoy." The Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon gave a smug smile.


    "Gu Chaozhi, you''re a human. Why are you helping the Black Serpent Dragon?" Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but ask. Back in the underground city, the Earth Spirit Hall that Gu Chaozhi was from had teamed up with Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng''s Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "The people that entered later had stronger Marks of Destruction put on us. If you guys stall for time, you may be able to leave alive, but we won''t be able to," the Blue Serpent King Wei Jing said expressionlessly, and Zhao Feng and company became silent.


    Most of the people present would make the same decision as the Blue Serpent King if they were threatened with their life.


    At this point, nothing could be done.


    Outside Xie Yang Palace:


    Crack!


    The Yuan Sealing Divine Chains gave a crisp sound as they were opened, and the aura of Destruction radiating from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body became much stronger.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    The hearts of everyone present sped up as their bodies became cold.

 869 Return

    Chapter 869 - Return


    The sudden change of events caught everyone off guard.


    The Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon were just decoys. The key had already been given to someone else.


    Being an existence that had lived for countless millennia, the Black Serpent Dragon knew everything that went on in Xie Yang Palace, and the humans had underestimated its intelligence.


    No one had enough time to react.


    Crack!


    The black barrel-thick chains on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon opened with a crisp metallic sound that represented despair across Heaven and Earth.


    "Everything will now come to an end! I will first rip you ants into pieces, then destroy Xie Yang''s properties."


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon unleashed a long roar as a scarlet-black flame appeared on its large black scaled body.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s aura instantly became more than twice as strong as before.


    Boom!


    A forbidden dragon aura swept across Xie Yang Palace, and all beings started to tremble as they fell into endless fear.


    Within Xie Yang Palace, the elites of the outside world were petrified. Their bloodlines started to shake, and none of them could use their True Yuan. They couldn''t even think properly, they could only tremble.


    The bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race was ranked 9th in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, so it stood at the peak.


    "Now that the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains have been unlocked, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon can now circulate its Dragon Yuan divine power¡­."


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng managed to stabilize themselves, but they were unable to hide the shock in their eyes.


    The half-step Kings and Kings who still had a Mark of Destruction fell to the ground. In terms of bloodline, power, and pure state of existence, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had exceeded them by too much.


    At this critical moment, Zhao Fen gently touched the armguard on his arm, and a wicked smile appeared on Nan Gongsheng''s face.


    However, the unexpected happened.


    Weng~~


    The moment the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon unlocked the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains, the chains merged with the key and exploded in a flash of five-colored divine lightning.


    Boom~~~~!


    In just an instant, the five-colored divine lightning formed countless chains of lightning that wrapped around the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Arghhh~~~~!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon twisted in the sky as it screamed.


    "What a terrifying power of Lightning!"


    The power of Wind Lightning within Zhao Feng''s body started to shake uneasily. Even the God Tribulation Lightning shook slightly. Zhao Feng couldn''t estimate how strong this five-colored divine lightning was. It was actually able to severely injure the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Bam!


    The large body of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon fell onto the ground and created a smoking crater.


    "Shameless Xie Yang¡­! How dare you scheme against me!?"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s angry road resounded across Heaven and Earth. Just a wisp of its aura almost shattered many of the humans'' minds.


    Peng! Peng! Bam!


    In an area covered by dust, the large body of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon started to struggle as five-colored lightning chains sliced into its flesh.


    "Zhe zhe, leaving a path of escape for the enemy isn''t something that Master Xie Yang would do," a wicked voice sounded from within Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    "Back in the day, the Ancient God Xie Yang knew that he couldn''t seal the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon forever, so he left a ''key'' behind in order to scheme against the Black Serpent Dragon further," Nan Gongsheng explained. He knew this from the Evil God Mental Thought Body.


    Hu~~


    The experts within Xie Yang Palace couldn''t help but let out a long breath as cold sweat drenched their backs. There was always something higher in the food chain. Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had unrivalled battle-power, it had been sealed by the Ancient God Xie Yang, who even left behind another move on top.


    "Unfortunately, the key has been sitting there for too long, so the power of Lightning within it isn''t even one hundredth of its peak. Otherwise¡­" the wicked voice within Nan Gongsheng''s body said in a regretful tone.


    "We''ll retreat for now."


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye saw that the five-colored chains of lightning around the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body were starting to weaken. At the same time, a tiny crack appeared on the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains.


    Zhao Feng was sure that the five-colored lightning was unable to kill the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and it would be able to get free soon.


    The human elites that had arrived all understood, and they quickly retreated into the depths of Xie Yang Palace.


    "The Divine Illusion Dimension is coming to an end. The longer we stall, the more hope we have to survive." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge retreated decisively.


    The grass and flowers in Xie Yang Palace were more transparent than before.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The elites quickly ran away from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. The Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon used this chance to enter the ground, but no one cared about them anymore.


    While they were retreating, Zhao Feng could feel that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was struggling less and less.


    Half a day later, the elites and geniuses all gathered together at the depths of Xie Yang Palace.


    "The chances of us surviving are quite big. The Divine Illusion Dimension will leave the continent before the Black Serpent Dragon charges in." The Eighth Prince smiled. At the very least, the threat that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon posed was smaller than before it unlocked the chains.


    Time passed by slowly as everyone waited. The struggling from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon outside Xie Yang Palace completely stopped after another half a day.


    "Humans, even if I am injured, I am part of the Destruction Dragon Race and can still easily kill you ants," a deep voice resounded across Xie Yang Palace through the Mark of Destruction.


    Boom! Boom!


    The God''s Forbidden Array outside Xie Yang Palace started to shake again.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon turned into a human male with black scales and entered Xie Yang Palace through a crack.


    The Yuan Sealing Divine Chains outside Xie Yang Palace were shattered. After getting rid of the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could now use secret techniques and turn into a human form.


    Whoosh!


    At this moment, the black-scaled male revealed a deadly expression as a scarlet-black flame covered him and created a faint black tornado.


    Boom!


    Every living being was destroyed and everything turned black wherever the human-shaped Black Destruction Serpent Dragon went.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon has come!"


    The expressions of some elites within Xie Yang Palace changed dramatically.


    Although the black-scaled human wasn''t big, the damage he did was terrifying despite Xie Yang Palace''s power suppression.


    Most of the human elites were inside the depths of Xie Yang Palace. Within an underground cellar:


    "Yufei, we can team up and help you get rid of the Mark of Destruction."


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng spread out their hands.


    Zhao Yufei revealed a look of joy, which then turned into worry. Her eyebrows then started to furrow. Zhao Feng knew that she was worried about the other members of the Duanmu Family.


    "Yufei, there''s no time. Your Mark of Destruction was specifically strengthened by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and will need a lot of time to get rid of."


    Zhao Feng faintly shook his head. Getting rid of a Mark of Destruction was extremely tiring. Zhao Feng didn''t have the inclination nor the ability to help everyone else.


    The benefit of getting rid of the Mark of Destruction was that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wouldn''t be able to sense them. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon first killed those with a Mark of Destruction. Those that didn''t have one could hide.


    Therefore, most of the people were trying to get rid of their Mark of Destruction, but not many were able to succeed. Those that were able to do it were only Zhao Feng, Mo Dongyao, Nan Gongsheng, and a couple others.


    Bam! Boom! Boom!


    The tornado created by the human-shaped Black Destruction Serpent Dragon ravaged across the buildings near the edge of Xie Yang Palace.


    "Arghh!"


    There was already a small number of geniuses and elites that were crushed into pieces by the faint black tornado.


    Whoosh!


    The human-shaped Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was extremely fast and agile. It would also purposely suck human elites into the tornado.


    Most of the people in Xie Yang Palace were filled with fear and panic. The Kings that hadn''t been able to get rid of the Mark of Destruction were the first group to be killed. None of them were able to fight back.


    Only luck decided who was killed earlier.


    However, on a certain tower, two purple-haired figures had calm expressions and no signs of panic.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is severely injured. It only charged into Xie Yang Palace to unleash its rage¡­." Nan Gongsheng said.


    The threat that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon posed was much weaker after being tricked by Xie Yang. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng also didn''t have a Mark of Destruction, and they even had the Misty Spatial World. As far who was most likely to survive this incident, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng were easily the top two.


    "The Destruction Dragon Race bloodline is monstrous, and they can recover their injuries and become stronger by causing destruction. Apparently, once a Destruction Dragon destroys an entire dimension or world, they will be able to obtain a type of Origin of Destruction, which can make them stronger." Zhao Feng sighed.


    This was the specialty of the bloodline ranked 9th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Why would the Destruction Dragon Race destroy everything if there was nothing to gain out of it?


    "Arghhh!"


    "Run!"


    Chaos broke out inside Xie Yang Palace as the geniuses and elites all scattered.


    Wu~~ Roar~~


    At a certain moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon roared and charged toward the area where Zhao Feng was currently located.


    Zhao Feng''s body and soul shook as he felt an extreme danger before it even arrived.


    Shua!


    A silver light covered Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, and they started to fade away. In the next instant, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng appeared at the outer edge of Xie Yang Palace.


    Zhao Feng had left more than a dozen spatial markings around the outer edges of Xie Yang Palace beforehand.


    "Hmm?"


    Zhao Feng suddenly gave a low cry as he glanced at the dimension that was becoming transparent. His God''s Spiritual Eye could faintly see through this dimension, and there was a blurry mountain and river below.


    "The aura of the continent zone!"


    Zhao Feng''s face was filled with joy as a suction force appeared from his clan''s token.


    Each elite that entered the Divine Illusion Dimension had been given a return token, which could be used to return to their forces when the Divine Illusion Dimension was about to leave.


    "We can go back now!"


    Cries of extreme joy sounded in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Some elites and geniuses flew in the direction of the blurry continent zone and quickly disappeared. The dimension in front of them seemed to become a dream.


    "A true dimension¡­." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, who was still wreaking havoc, couldn''t help but pause and look at the blurry continent zone with cruelness.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    More and more elites both inside and outside Xie Yang Palace started to disappear.


    "Nan Gongsheng, we''ll meet again in the future."


    Zhao Feng''s body followed the suction force from the return token, and he entered a misty pathway that seemed to be both false and real at the same time.


    After an indeterminate amount of time:


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s body landed on a black stage, and countless exclamations sounded from the members of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan nearby.


    This was the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan located in the Great Tianfeng Island Zone.

 870 Ridiculous!

    Chapter 870 - Ridiculous!


    In the Divine Illusion Dimension, everything started to become faint and transparent. At this moment, the dreamy world was starting to leave the continent zone.


    The first part that was disconnected was near the northwestern region of the continent zone, not the center.


    Within a large, beast-like palace:


    "Yu Tianhao, you''re lucky that you managed to obtain the Inheritance Sacred item of the Heavenly Power God."


    A red-haired male covered in glittering golden light held a spear and stood on a large flaming winged dragon. He was like the God of War and Fire. The aura from the flaming winged dragon alone was close to an Emperor.


    Opposite the red-haired male was a black-haired youth with a pale expression and blood leaking from his mouth. The black-haired Yu Tianhao was only at the middle stages of the Void God Realm, but he had a battle-intent that could scare both Gods and Ghosts alike.


    "You''re very strong, but you''re not my true opponent¡­." Yu Tianhao wiped the blood from his mouth as a strong surge of confidence emanated from him.


    The red-haired male was too strong; his cultivation and bloodline were both perfect. Through countless fortunes, he had managed to break through to become an Emperor in the Divine Illusion Dimension. On top of that, he also managed to obtain a flaming winged dragon whose battle-power was comparable to an Emperor.


    If it weren''t for the fact that Yu Tianhao had been recognized by the Inheritance Intent of the Heavenly Power God, he would have been utterly defeated.


    "Arrogant! Of all the geniuses of the younger generation in the Divine Illusion Dimension, only Xuanyuan Wen is my match. Unfortunately, I didn''t get to meet him this time."


    Mockery appeared on the red-haired male''s face. It was as if he didn''t put Yu Tianhao in his eyes at all.


    Shua! Shua!


    Yu Tianhao and the red-haired male both soon disappeared.


    After that, the central parts of the lord dynasty started to disconnect, and the geniuses within Xie Yang Palace started to fade away. Zhao Feng and company were the last to disappear.


    When the Divine Illusion Dimension was transparent, one could see that it was on top of the continent zone, and the northwestern area of the lord dynasty was the first to disconnect. After that came the central regions. At the end was the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, the True Martial Sacred Clan in the Cang Ocean, and company.


    The most dangerous place in the Divine Illusion Dimension was, without a doubt, Xie Yang Palace.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    At this instant, all the geniuses and elites within Xie Yang Palace were filled with joy as they returned to the continent zone. Although Xie Yang Palace was the most dangerous, the fortune here also surpassed the other places. Those that were able to leave alive would have immeasurable futures.


    "A true world¡­? Very good, very good!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon looked coldly toward the disappearing geniuses and didn''t stop them. Instead, it licked its lips excitedly.


    "There will be destruction wherever I go¡­!" The figure of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon started to sink into the blurry continent zone.


    Back in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, near the ocean around the edge of the continent zone:


    Shua!


    A purple-haired youth appeared on the receiving stage of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "Someone''s appeared¡­ it''s Zhao Feng!"


    "This brat was the first to appear?"


    The exclamations of some Ten Thousand Sacred Clan members sounded.


    "I''m the first to appear?" Zhao Feng paused and understood after thinking about it. Because he had chased after the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon all the way to Xie Yang Palace, he had entered the region that was connected to the central parts of the continent zone, which disconnected earlier than most of the other regions.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao, how were the rewards in the Divine Illusion Dimension?"


    "Junior, why are you alone? Where is everyone else?"


    Members of both the younger and older generations surrounded Zhao Feng and looked at him with twinkling eyes. Zhao Feng had changed a lot.


    "Late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm?"


    "This brat was only at the middle stages of the Small Origin Core Realm when he entered the Divine Illusion Dimension."


    Some of the inner disciples discussed.


    Zhao Feng had only used a couple months to break through from the middle stages of the Small Origin Core Realm to the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm. This was shocking. One had to know that a lot of time was used just on scouting out the Divine Illusion Dimension; there wasn''t a lot of time to cultivate.


    "This speed isn''t fast." Zhao Feng shook his head.


    He hadn''t actually spent much time cultivating in the Divine Illusion Dimension. In comparison to Nan Gongsheng and company, this speed wasn''t considered that fast. He was somewhat faster than Nan Gongsheng, but only because he was re-cultivating. Therefore, Zhao Feng wasn''t very pleased with his cultivation speed and spoke with honesty.


    However, this made the members of both the younger and older generations reveal weird expressions, as if they had been choked.


    "This brat is just showing off."


    "He must have met great fortune within the Divine Illusion Dimension."


    The gazes that landed on Zhao Feng contained envy, jealousy, unwillingness, heat, and other emotions. There were also some Divine Senses.


    "Zhao Feng."


    A surge of Magnificent Power crushed over and caused the soul-dimension to crackle. The loud stage instantly became silent. Many people felt as if there was a large mountain crushing over them.


    "The difference between dimensions is really big."


    Zhao Feng sighed. He hadn''t gotten used to it yet. The pressure in the Divine Illusion Dimension was huge, and the difference in power that could be unleashed by Void God Realm Kings could differ by almost a thousand times.


    "Zhao Feng!" The voice of the King contained a slight sign of anger as the pressure doubled.


    This brat was acting as if it had nothing to do with him even though it was a King speaking right to him.


    The members around Zhao Feng instantly felt that it was hard to breathe, as if their souls had been frozen. However, Zhao Feng remained standing still like he didn''t feel a thing.


    "Hmm?"


    This scene made the questioning King surprised, and many of the older half-step Kings felt weird.


    "May I ask what this Elder has to say?"


    Zhao Feng looked up toward an Elder in cloth garments. There was another middle-aged King in snow-white robes arriving ¨C Huang Yunhu''s master, King Lu Yun.


    "Elder Wu, if you have anything to say, please do so patiently. Arguing with a junior is just lowering your status," King Lu Yun called out.


    Zhao Feng''s backing in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone was extremely strong. Apparently, there was a Void God Realm Emperor behind him. On top of that, Duke Nanfeng admired him and tried to sway him to his side.


    "Hmph! I won''t punish him for being disrespectful to me, but he needs to tell us the location of the other members of the clan."


    Elder Wu in his cloth garments snickered coldly and suppressed the anger in his heart. How dare an Origin Core Realm junior be disrespectful toward Kings just because he has a strong backing?


    "Zhao Feng, you appeared half a day earlier than expected. Where is everyone else?" King Lu Yun asked.


    Why was Zhao Feng the only one that returned? Did the others encounter something? These questions made the hearts of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan upper echelon members tighten. After all, those that entered the Divine Illusion Dimension were either geniuses or older elites with great potential. The life or death of these elites might determine the future of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "The others?" Zhao Feng thought for a while before answering; "I split up with them soon after entering the Divine Illusion Dimension. There weren''t many casualties last I checked."


    At the early stages of the Divine Illusion Dimension, Zhao Feng was with the group from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan for a while. After the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon appeared, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng teamed up and left alone.


    "Split up? Why did you leave the group?"


    Elder Wu''s expression became grim. This was also the question that others were curious of.


    "Because there was a disaster. A Black Destruction Serpent Dragon escaped from its seal and everyone had to run¡­."


    Zhao Feng summarized what had happened. At least 90% of what he said was true. The only thing he didn''t mention was that he deliberated teamed up with Nan Gongsheng and left because he thought the clan''s group was too weak.


    Reality proved that this was a great turning point for both of them. Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng teamed up to pass through a stage where they were both at their weakest.


    "Destruction Dragon Race? Black Destruction Serpent Dragon?"


    Hearing this, the members of the clan acted like they were being fed a story and were half in doubt.


    "Hmph, baseless stories." Elder Wu''s expression went cold as his King Intent moved around and tried to pressure Zhao Feng, but he found that Zhao Feng wasn''t affected at all.


    Zhao Feng patiently told him what happened, but Elder Wu and company asked one question after another and wanted more detail. Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed as he slowly became impatient.


    "Then I''m going to ask you ¨C what fortune did you meet in the Divine Illusion Dimension? How could a measly Small Origin Core Realm reach the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm after leaving the protection of his group and in such a small amount of time?"


    Elder Wu''s eyes twinkled. This junior wasn''t even affected by his King Intent. This meant that he must have met great fortune in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "Fortune? Not like it''s a big secret. Many people entered an Ancient God''s palace. As for my cultivation speed, I don''t think it''s very fast," Zhao Feng replied honestly. Elder Wu''s questioning and tone made him start to lose his patience.


    "Ancient God''s palace? Such cultivation speed isn''t fast? What a joke!"


    The anger on Elder Wu''s face became more and more obvious. A measly Origin Core Realm junior didn''t even put him in his eyes, and his tone wasn''t good either.


    However, he never would have expected that everything Zhao Feng said was true. The name of "Zhao Feng" would soon be known across the entire lord dynasty and all the three-star and four-star powers.


    "Believing it or not is up to you, I''ll be going now." After saying this, Zhao Feng started to walk out and didn''t bother to explain more. He needed to go back and organize what he had obtained in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    He had obtained a lot in the Divine Illusion Dimension, and the ancient metal ring couldn''t even fit all of it. Luckily, he had the substandard God-level Misty Spatial World.


    "Brat, stop. If you don''t give me a good explanation, I will take you down."


    A Magnificent Power radiated from Elder Wu as he became angry, and an invisible power covered Zhao Feng.


    "Ridiculous!" Zhao Feng also became angry and circulated the power of his Sacred Lightning Body as he kicked toward Elder Wu.


    Bam! Boom~~~~!


    The instant this kick was unleashed, the color of Heaven and Earth changed. Lightning crackled as a golden-blue power shot through the air.


    "Argh!"


    Just a wisp of this aura made the members of the clan feel as if a mountain was crushing down on them. Many of them spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.


    "Dammit, I forgot." Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly as he remembered the difference between here and the Divine Illusion Dimension. His Sacred Lightning Body had reached the early stages of the 5th level, which could easily crush normal Kings.


    Bam~~~!


    Elder Wu gave a cry as his Magnificent Power was shattered and his body sent flying. His bones almost split apart as he spat out mouthfuls of blood.

 871 All Dead?

    Chapter 871 - All Dead?


    Plop! Plop! Plop!


    Zhao Feng''s kick not only sent the Void God Realm King Elder Wu flying; many of the nearby members cried out and spat out mouthfuls of blood.


    The force of this kick seemed to contain thousands upon thousands of kilograms of force, and it seemed like it could shake the heavens.


    Boom~~~~!


    A nearby mountain started to shake slightly, and many explosions could be heard.


    "This¡­ how¡­?"


    Some disciples'' blood started to boil as they became dazed.


    King Lu Yun''s mouth was wide open.


    "He managed to severely injure Elder Wu with his pure physical strength alone¡­."


    King Lu Yun''s back went cold as he lost focus. Even though reality was right there, King Lu Yun was suspicious of his eyes.


    Peng!


    On the other side, Elder Wu was sent flying and crashed into a mountain, causing a cloud of dust to rise into the air.


    "You¡­ how is this possible!?"


    Elder Wu''s face was white. He felt as if his bones had been shattered, and he couldn''t even climb up.


    Zhao Feng''s actions caused many of the gazes on him to become fearful and stunned. Some of the injured members of the clan didn''t even know what happened.


    "I''m sorry, I forgot to control my power."


    Zhao Feng''s apology toward the injured members of the clan made more people scream out in fear.


    He didn''t want to harm these innocent members of the clan. Zhao Feng was different from Nan Gongsheng; Zhao Feng slowly accumulated his power, so his personality remained unchanged. He disliked killing innocent people for no reason. However, he had just come out from the Divine Illusion Dimension and its power suppression, so he couldn''t control his power well.


    In the Divine Illusion Dimension, the power of this kick would have been suppressed and wouldn''t be nearly this shocking. Furthermore, before Zhao Feng entered the Divine Illusion Dimension, his Sacred Lightning Body was only at the beginning stages of the 4th level. The difference between then and now was like Heaven and Earth.


    Wood of Wind Lightning.


    Zhao Feng expanded his arms, and a faint green ripple of Wood Lightning spread around. The injured members felt a wisp of the Wood of Wind Lightning surrounded them, which made their bodies tingle and quickly heal. The Wood of Wind Lightning could even heal some of their hidden poisons and other injuries.


    The quality and effect of that Wood of Wind Lightning is already comparable to Void God Realm Kings¡­. A glint flashed in King Lu Yun''s eyes as he inspected Zhao Feng in a new light ¨C not as a junior, but as someone on the same level as himself.


    "Thank you, Junior Martial Brother Zhao."


    The members that were healed felt that their state of existence had increased a little bit. The gazes toward Zhao Feng were filled with fear and respect. After all, Zhao Feng didn''t harm them purposely.


    "Zhao Feng, you are very strong, but as a member of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, how can you severely injure an Elder?" King Lu Yun took a deep breath as he questioned.


    "If he didn''t attack me first, I wouldn''t have attacked him," Zhao Feng said righteously, and King Lu Yun stopped speaking.


    Indeed, Elder Wu was the one who attacked first. Zhao Feng''s actions could be said to be in self-defense, but this self-defense was a bit over the top. However, Zhao Feng didn''t lie either: he truly just forgot to control his power.


    "Can I go now?" Zhao Feng wanted to leave the stage.


    "Uh¡­ please wait for a moment."


    Sweat appeared on King Lu Yun''s forehead as he tensed up. After thinking about what happened to Elder Wu, he became cautious thinking about what would happen if he tried to stop Zhao Feng by force.


    "Elder, is there anything else you need?"


    Despite his concerns, Zhao Feng''s footsteps stopped, and he had a calm expression. He showed no signs of taking any action, allowing King Lu Yun to let out a breath.


    In reality, King Lu Yun had thought too much. If Elder Wu had just to Zhao Feng with a polite tone, Zhao Feng wouldn''t have done anything. If they were going to attack him, why would Zhao Feng just stand there and await his death?


    "Zhao Feng, no one else from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan that entered the Divine Illusion Dimension has appeared yet. You''re the first one to come out, so you might to need to wait for a bit in order to avoid suspicion," King Lu Yun said in a peaceful tone. He said it as a suggestion, not an order.


    "Fine, then I''ll wait for a bit." Zhao Feng nodded his head and felt that what King Lu Yun said was reasonable. Since he had done nothing wrong, he wasn''t scared.


    After saying that, he sat down on the black stage and closed his eyes.


    Zhao Feng''s cooperation allowed King Lu Yun to let out a long breath, and the other members of the clan found that Zhao Feng wasn''t unreasonable. On the contrary, he was very casual.


    "That''s right; if you have an issue, just talk it out. There''s no need to fight."


    "If Elder Wu didn''t attack first, then Zhao Feng wouldn''t have counter-attacked in self-defense."


    Those that had been healed by Zhao Feng started to discuss, and they were on Zhao Feng''s side.


    On the black stage, Zhao Feng sat down and started to organize what he had received in the Divine Illusion Dimension while he was waiting. He had gotten a lot of resources, and any one of them would be considered rare in the continent zone.


    The most valuable items were the substandard God items ¨C the Misty Spatial World and the God Slaying Arrows.


    The Misty Spatial World was the armguard currently on Zhao Feng''s arm. Although it was "only" a support-type item, it was very useful. As for the God Slaying Arrows, Zhao Feng had obtained two of them, while the third was taken by the imperials.


    Zhao Feng didn''t know how strong the God Slaying Arrows were, but at the very least, he was sure that he couldn''t fully use their power right now. Apart from that, the God Slaying Arrows were also one-time items that were said to be able to slay Gods.


    Beneath the two substandard God weapons were the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey and other peerless treasures, including the crafting materials he had obtained in the Building of Refinement. At the very least, they could be used to craft Heavenly Divine weapons and even Inheritances Sacred Weapons that were only below substandard God weapons. Some of the most valuable materials may have even reached the God level.


    Although they were valuable, they weren''t very useful to Zhao Feng right now. However, they might come in handy in the future.


    After that came the Green Water Sky Lotuses, the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Roots, the Golden Bones, and the Soul Suppressing Stone.


    He had an enormous amount of Green Water Sky Lotuses and Spiritual Flesh Jade Lotus Roots. Treasures at this level were extremely attractive even for Void God Realm Kings, and Zhao Feng had obtained a huge amount in Xie Yang Palace.


    On top of all that, he had a mountain of resources that were less valuable than the Green Water Sky Lotuses, such as the Water Mother Essence and such.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng had the Misty Spatial World, he wouldn''t even be able to carry all these resources back.


    Time passed by slowly, and Zhao Feng''s mind was immersed in the Little World of the Misty Spatial World. This Little World had its own rivers and mountains, and there were even living things inside. It was more than a grade higher than the Little Worlds of Emperors.


    Of course, all the top treasures that he had obtained in the Divine Illusion Dimension were put in a separate, individual dimension of the Misty Spatial World. This storage dimension had stronger defense and was more stable, which made it harder to be damaged and eroded.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    In a corner of the Little World was a swarm of Five Poison Distinct Bees. There were a few Bee Kings and over a hundred elite bees. The rest of the several hundred bees were at least comparable to the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm or stronger. These venomous bees could kill people stronger than themselves if they used their suicidal attacks.


    The reason Zhao Feng kept some regular bees was that they had potential and could be raised in the Little World. The Five Poison Distinct Bees needed pollen and nectar to become stronger, and Zhao Feng had mountains of weird plants and flowers that he obtained from the Divine Illusion Dimension. The plants that he didn''t need could be used by the Five Poison Distinct Bees. Zhao Feng believed that these bees could all become elite bees very soon, and some of the elite bees would be able to become King Bees.


    Zhao Feng''s goal was to raise these bees until they could threaten even three-star powers.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    While Zhao Feng was organizing his resources, the sound of flying continuously appeared.


    An hour later, several more Kings arrived near the black stage. One of them was an Elder covered in Magnificent Power. His aura surpassed the other Kings; he was a Peak-tier King.


    "Elder Yin!"


    The other Kings greeted Elder Yin with respect when they saw him. There weren''t many Peak-tier Kings in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, but Elder Yin was one of them.


    "Elder Yin, you''ve come just in time¡­." The injured Elder Wu managed to fly over to Elder Yin.


    "Elder Wu, what happened to you?" Elder Yin was surprised.


    "It''s all that thief''s fault. After obtaining fortune in the Divine Illusion Dimension, he''s not putting us older Kings in his eyes¡­." Elder Wu exaggerated what happened.


    "Such a thing happened?" Hearing this, Elder Yin''s expression became grim as he looked at the purple-haired youth on the black stage.


    The purple-haired youth just sat there; the arrival of all these Kings didn''t make his expression change at all. Any Void God Realm King from a two-star or three-star power wouldn''t feel happy if they saw this.


    "Elder Yin, your disciple is also in the Divine Illusion Dimension and hasn''t come out yet," Elder Wu continued.


    The Void God Realm Kings were worried for their disciples and came to learn the situation within the Divine Illusion Dimension, but Zhao Feng was the only one who had returned so far.


    "Hmph, if anything happened to my disciple in the Divine Illusion Dimension, you''ll be the one held accountable!" A thunderous voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s soul.


    Zhao Feng raised his head and looked at the powerful Peak-tier King Elder Yin.


    At this moment, the middle-upper echelon of the clan knew that Zhao Feng had left the group and found great fortune while acting alone. Some people were suspicious that Zhao Feng had killed the others in order to take everything for himself, but the truth would only be revealed when everyone else returned.


    The elites of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan didn''t appear even after four hours.


    Wait, don''t tell me that everyone from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan died in the Divine Illusion Dimension? Zhao Feng had a weird expression.


    Usually, such a thing wouldn''t happen unless they all met the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Of course, it wasn''t as if an entire group being wiped out had never happened before. However, if the group from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had indeed all died in the Divine Illusion Dimension, then the pressure and suspicions Zhao Feng would have to face would be very big.


    Luckily, this didn''t happen. At a certain moment:


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Familiar figures started to appear one after another as members of the clan cried out.

 872 I’ll hold you accountable

    Chapter 872 - I''ll Hold You Accountable


    "They''ve come back!"


    "Kong Feiling''s appeared!"


    Figures one after another started to appear on the black stage and only stopped after several breaths.


    Zhao Feng scanned the group on stage. Around half the group had returned ¨C a total of forty or fifty people.


    The aura radiating from Kong Feiling was stronger than before. She had a bright dress, and Zhao Feng found that both her True Yuan and bloodline auras were much stronger than before she had entered the Divine Illusion Dimension, but she was still a tiny bit away from the Void God Realm.


    There were some others that Zhao Feng was familiar with in the group, including Old Fei, Liu Tianfan, and Huang Yunhu. Even Senior Martial Brother Guang was present.


    "It''s good that they''ve returned," King Lu Yun said in a low tone as his gaze landed on his disciples. His personal disciple and his in-name disciple were both present.


    "No one became a King."


    "Although some of the Origin Core Realm disciples made some progress, it''s still not much compared to Zhao Feng."


    The Elders discussed.


    It wasn''t hard to tell that the group from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan didn''t have it well in the Divine Illusion Dimension. Most of the elites and geniuses were exhausted, and some were even crippled or severely injured. For example, Old Fei had lost a leg and now had a walking stick.


    Zhao Feng knew that not everyone could grasp fortune. Even if they discovered something, they might not have the ability to actually claim it for themselves. How many half-step Kings and Kings had died in Xie Yang Palace? For those that were too weak, it was actually lucky for them to have not entered Xie Yang Palace.


    "Zhao Feng¡­"


    The returning geniuses looked at the purple-haired youth sitting on the ground. In comparison to themselves, Zhao Feng''s progress was far too big. Their gazes were filled with hate, envy, respect, and other emotions.


    "Zhao Feng." Old Fei held his walking stick as he gritted his teeth with a complex expression. "If you had stayed with the group and helped us, we wouldn''t have had such a hard time in the Divine Illusion Dimension."


    Zhao Feng was silent.


    In reality, Old Fei didn''t hate Zhao Feng, he was only slightly blaming Zhao Feng for not staying and helping. The strength that Zhao Feng displayed in the underground city was already extremely great; he would have been a great help to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan''s group.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had tried to enter a couple of ancient ruins, but they failed by the tiniest margin, resulting in heavy casualties.


    "Zhao Feng, if you didn''t leave the group, then Senior Martial Sister Yun and Junior Martial Brother Chen wouldn''t have died."


    "Zhao Feng, because of your selfishness, you left the group and made us sustain heavy casualties."


    The returning geniuses questioned and spoke in an unhappy tone. Some almost charged over but were stopped by some of the other nearby members.


    "Stop! Be quiet!" King Lu Yun and company immediately stopped them.


    Zhao Feng''s strength was terrifying; the severely-injured Elder Wu was an example. If even a King ended up like that, then Zhao Feng could sneeze and that would be enough to kill the other geniuses and elites.


    "Zhao Feng, I don''t hate you for what you did. I can only blame that we weren''t strong enough or lucky enough. But as a member of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, you didn''t do what you could have to help us." Old Fei gave a bitter smile as he leaned on his walking stick. He looked extremely old and alone.


    Hearing that, the eyes of the returning geniuses and elites dimmed down, and they became silent.


    They couldn''t blame everything on Zhao Feng. If they were strong enough, one more or one fewer Zhao Feng wouldn''t have made much difference.


    "One does what they have to. Junior Martial Brother Zhao, I don''t blame you, I''m just slightly disappointed¡­." Liu Tianfan gave a smile of mockery. There were injuries across his body, and half of one of his ears had been bitten off by a beast.


    The silence lasted for a while before Zhao Feng finally spoke, "Just think of me as the original Zhao Feng."


    Hearing that, everyone paused. If it was the original Zhao Feng, he probably wouldn''t have even had the right to enter the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    This purple-haired youth was extremely different from the original Zhao Feng, and he didn''t have many feelings for the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. He only helped the Yunling Zhao Family because it was a wish of the original Zhao Feng.


    "Furthermore, the fortune I obtained was by tracking the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. That path was filled with death and trickery¡­." Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he started to remember what had happened. It was almost as if those dangerous scenes in the Divine Illusion Dimension were right in front of him.


    "Tracking the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon!?" The returning geniuses and elites of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan exclaimed, while the expressions of Kong Feiling, Old Fei, Liu Tianfan, and company changed dramatically as they took in cold breaths.


    "On that journey, countless half-step Kings and Kings from Sky Suspension Palace, the Great Gan Imperials, Sky Sword Pavilion, the Eight Big Families, and various other forces of similar strength died." Zhao Feng sighed.


    Too many half-step Kings and Kings had been killed in Xie Yang Palace.


    Familiar names of three-star, peak three-star, and even four-star super-powers spouted out from Zhao Feng''s mouth. At this moment in time, everyone else was dead-silent.


    They could imagine how fierce that fight was. Furthermore, such news would soon travel throughout the upper echelons of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty and other forces.


    "The weakest of the elites that entered Xie Yang Palace were at Kong Feiling''s level. Old Fei, did you want me to lead the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan''s group into such an abyss?" Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled.


    The hearts of Old Fei and company shook. They had nothing to say. Even if they had one hundred more guts, they wouldn''t dare to follow the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. Those familiar three-star and four-star powers weren''t something that they could be compared to.


    Only by leaving the group was Zhao Feng able to fly across the sky and unleash his full potential. Furthermore, the original Zhao Feng had already died, so Zhao Feng was only using this clan to step onto the world stage.


    "Hmph, we''ll need to wait for the news from the other forces to confirm whether what you said is true or not." A cold snicker broke the silence.


    It came from the severely-injured Elder Wu. Next to Elder Wu was the Peak-tier King Elder Yin, whose gaze swept continuously through the group. He had an ugly expression and didn''t speak for a long time.


    "Elder Yin, what happened? Did your personal disciple not return from the Divine Illusion Dimension?" King Lu Yun found that something was amiss. Elder Yin''s expression was extremely unusual.


    There were no more figures appearing on the black stage. Those that hadn''t appeared by now had definitely died in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "Junior Martial Brother Wang¡­ died from the ambush of a mutated venomous spider King."


    The expressions of Kong Feiling, Liu Tianfan and company dimmed. The Junior Martial Brother Wang from their mouths was obviously Elder Yin''s personal disciple.


    After confirming this nightmare, Elder Yin''s body started to shake. His eyes went red as he tried to suppress the sadness and unwillingness in his heart. It was obvious that Elder Yin had poured a lot of his emotions into this personal disciple of his.


    "Why are the heavens so unfair!?" Elder Yin roared as killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he glared at Zhao Feng who was still just sitting there. Why did the youth who left the group meet so much fortune whereas his personal disciple was killed?


    "Zhao Feng, I said that if anything happened to my disciple, I would hold you accountable."


    A surge of Magnificent Power crushed toward Zhao Feng.


    "Elder Yin, calm down!" King Lu Yun and company tried to stop him, but Elder Yin was a Peak-tier King and his domain had almost materialized. With a Bam! he pushed away two other Kings that tried to stop him.


    "Everyone, get back!"


    Kong Feiling, Old Fei, and company saw that the situation wasn''t looking right and quickly retreated from the black stage. Zhao Feng also didn''t want to pull these innocent people in, so he remained sitting on the stage as he looked coldly toward Elder Yin, who was filled with killing intent.


    "Junior, do you know your crimes?" Elder Yin waved his hand, and a large dark red hand appeared in the sky above Zhao Feng''s head. He didn''t lose his cool; he needed a reason to take action against Zhao Feng, and Zhao Feng was indeed somewhat suspicious. He had left the group and acted on his own; just this alone went against the rules of the clan.


    "If you want to take action against me, then just do so. Stop trash-talking, I need to go back and cultivate." Zhao Feng slowly stood up against the pressure of the hand.


    Weng~~


    Golden-blue light glowed around Zhao Feng as he grew taller.


    Boom!


    A dominating physical force pushed away the large hand in the air that was created by Elder Yin and caused the mountain to shake.


    "Disobeying an Elder? You shall be punished!" Elder Yin roared as he thrust out a palm. A dark domain that was close to materializing appeared, and a dark red hand released a brilliant glow of light.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The force made some buildings nearby crumble. The anger of a Peak-tier King made the other Kings retreat, and the injured Elder Wu revealed a smile.


    "Fuck off!" Zhao Feng punched out as he circulated his Sacred Lightning Body. A wave of golden-blue physical force and a surge of lightning shot out.


    However, his Sacred Lightning Body alone wasn''t enough to fight against a Peak-tier King.


    Hu~ Bam!


    A glass-like fire surged around Zhao Feng as a chaotic burning sensation shot toward Elder Yin''s large hand and domain.


    Bam! Bam! Boom!


    If one looked from afar, one would see a roaring sun release a dazzling flame that turned the sky red.


    Cracks appeared in Elder Yin''s domain.


    "What a terrifying Fire bloodline!"


    The nearby Kings blocked the shockwave and felt their bloodlines and bodies become hot. The other members of the clan further away felt their bloodlines tremble. Some of the weaker ones fell to the ground and felt as if they had been engulfed by fire. They didn''t even have the ability to run.


    Bam!


    Elder Yin''s body was pushed back several hundred yards, and he forcefully suppressed the boiling blood in his body.


    Shu~~~~!


    While he was retreating, a fire that was unable to be easily put out burned across his body.


    "What¡­ what''s going on?" Elder Yin was stunned. In the exchange with Zhao Feng just now, he felt that part of his Yuan Qi was lost.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng''s body shook slightly as he felt a warm flow travel throughout his body, and the fatigue from Xie Yang Palace disappeared.

 873 Emperor Ling Qiong

    Chapter 873 - Emperor Ling Qiong


    Bam!


    As Zhao Feng pushed back Elder Yin, there was someone on a mountain in the northern regions of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    "This bloodline aura¡­ could it be the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline of my family?"


    An elder in dark red battle robes suddenly sensed something, and his body shook slightly. He wasn''t able to hide the shock and excitement on his face. A bright light shot through his eyes, and in an instant, the nearby fire started to spin around him. An unparalleled Emperor-level Dao of Fire aura suppressed all the living things within a thousand-mile radius as if they were in a flaming hell.


    In terms of aura, this dark-red-battle-robed elder was close to Duanmu Qing back when the latter was at the True Martial Sacred Land.


    "The direction is toward the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan."


    The dark-red-battle-robed elder''s Divine Sense created a detailed map. The place he was currently located was near the Yunling Zhao Family.


    With Zhao Feng''s rise, the Yunling area was the Zhao Family''s territory. Even the powerful Luo Family didn''t dare to easily take action against them.


    Back in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan:


    "What a terrifying Fire bloodline¡­!" the experts around the black stage exclaimed as they felt their bloodlines tremble uneasily.


    At this moment, the area around them was blood-red. Zhao Feng''s body was tall like a miniature giant, and he was surrounded by a blazing sun. He had the power to crush everything in his path.


    With the combination of his Sacred Lightning Body and his mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline, Zhao Feng was able to push back Elder Yin, who was a Peak-tier King.


    The spectating Kings'' mouths dropped wide open. Elder Yin was one of the rare Peak-tier Kings of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and he was almost unrivalled against anyone below the Emperor level.


    This bloodline is extremely weird! Elder Yin put out the flames on his body, and he could feel the loss of his energy. On the other hand, Zhao Feng''s tired expression became slightly better.


    After his trip in the Divine Illusion Dimension, Zhao Feng was able to use the mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline a lot better. The mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline was extremely dominating and originally had the ability to erode and ignite things, but now there was also a lifesteal ability.


    Although Zhao Feng hadn''t undergone any intense battles in Xie Yang Palace, several months of fighting with his intelligence and courage against the Black Serpent Dragon''s and the various forces'' schemes meant that he wasn''t at his best state.


    Only a small number of people were able to notice the changes with Zhao Feng and Elder Yin. Amongst them was Elder Yin himself.


    "Old man, take this fist." Zhao Feng let out a long laugh as he circulated his Sacred Body power and Blood Devil Sun bloodline. He was like an erupting volcano as he crushed toward Elder Yin.


    Elder Yin''s body became heavy, and he returned to reality.


    After his experience with close combat against Zhao Feng, he didn''t dare to underestimate the opponent and counterattacked with full strength.


    Crack! Boom!


    The two figures exchanged a blow in the air, and another crack appeared in Elder Yin''s domain.


    Shua! Boom!


    This time, Elder Yin was ready, and he used the explosive power of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline to pull away. However, even then, Elder Yin''s blood tossed and turned as a fire lit up on his body.


    He was unable to avoid being lightly injured.


    If that was the only issue, then Elder Yin could use his Peak-tier King cultivation to just drag out the fight and exhaust Zhao Feng. After all, Zhao Feng''s cultivation wasn''t as high, and although he was able to use his bloodline, his technique, and his weapons to challenge those with higher cultivation than himself, he would lose in a long fight.


    However, the lifesteal ability of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline changed this matter. After the second exchange, Zhao Feng absorbed more of Elder Yin''s energy and his state became better.


    "Earth-grade weapon ¨C Floating Dragon Tooth Sword!"


    Elder Yin''s expression became fierce as a dark golden bone-like sword surrounded by golden dragon phantoms appeared in his hand. Dark golden dragons made of fire swarmed across everything within a hundred miles.


    "It''s the peak Earth-grade weapon ¨C the Floating Dragon Tooth Sword!"


    "The main material of that sword is the tooth of a dragon from the Immemorial Era."


    The hearts of the experts watching below shook as they felt a powerful aura.


    With the appearance of the Floating Dragon Tooth Sword, Elder Yin''s battle-power increased by 50-60%, and he was able to force Zhao Feng back.


    Ding!


    Zhao Feng''s third approach was finally pushed away by Elder Yin''s sword. Sparks flew off his Sacred Lightning Body, but the damage received could be ignored.


    "Peak Earth-grade weapon¡­?" Zhao Feng squinted his eyes. The effect of the lifesteal ability this time wasn''t as good as the last two because Elder Yin''s peak Earth-grade weapon was a king compared to other weapons of the same level.


    "Junior, other than Heavenly Divine weapons and Inheritance Sacred weapons, my Floating Dragon Tooth Sword has yet to meet its match. You can no longer get close to me, so the threat your bloodline poses will drop dramatically." Elder Yin was smug and secretly let out a breath. Where would his face go if he wasn''t even able to suppress Zhao Feng with his Peak-tier King cultivation?


    "Inheritance Sacred weapon? I have one of those." Mockery and playfulness appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes. Putting aside Inheritance Sacred weapons, he even had two legendary substandard God weapons.


    "Inheritance Sacred weapon ¨C Sky Locking Bow!"


    A dark silver bow appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. The bow had mysterious carvings around it, and it glittered with silver, forming tadpole-shaped images.


    Jiang! Weng~~


    A cold metallic glow appeared around the bowstring, and the Floating Dragon Tooth Sword in Elder Yin''s hand started to tremble uneasily.


    "Inheritance Sacred weapon, and it''s a long-range one at that¡­."


    Elder Yin''s smile stiffened.


    Just like how there was a difference in strength between experts, there was also a difference between weapons. The Floating Dragon Tooth Sword was suppressed by Zhao Feng''s Sky Locking Bow and would be unable to unleash its full power.


    "Inheritance Sacred weapon, Sky Locking Bow?"


    "Zhao Feng definitely found it in the Divine Illusion Dimension."


    Discussion arose among the spectators.


    "If you don''t want to have a close-combat fight with me, then let''s play long range." A smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face. After saying this, he pulled the golden bowstring of the Sky Locking Bow and started to pour his Wind Lightning True Yuan into it.


    Weng~~


    A beaming golden arrow surrounded by arcs of lightning started to form on the Sky Locking Bow''s string.


    "Not good!" Elder Yin''s heart went cold for some reason, and he felt like he was locked onto by a sharp piercing power. Elder Yin''s body froze, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He felt like, no matter what he did, he wouldn''t be able to dodge the Sky Locking Bow''s attack.


    "The Sky Locking Bow? It''s that legendary Inheritance Sacred weapon?"


    "This Zhao Feng isn''t just strong in close combat. He also specializes in long-range combat or else he wouldn''t have been recognized by the Sky Locking Bow."


    Some of the present Kings had stunned expressions. It was hard to imagine that such a terrifying existence was just an Origin Core Realm junior.


    My True Yuan and cultivation aren''t as strong as Elder Yin''s, and the pure physical attack of the Sky Locking Bow will be unable to kill him. However, if I form a Soul Light Arrow, I might be able to kill him instantly.


    Zhao Feng used his left eye-bloodline to compliment the Sky Locking Bow and lock onto Elder Yin.


    Elder Yin didn''t dare to do anything rash. The threat and pressure alone made him feel as if he had fallen into a freezer.


    Zhao Feng was only analyzing and thinking what would happen. He hadn''t actually attacked yet. He also thought about how much power the Sky Locking Bow would have when used with the substandard God Slaying Arrows.


    I need to become a King to use the God Slaying Arrows, Zhao Feng analyzed.


    As one-use items, arrows required lower cultivation to use. However, the Sky Locking Bow could be thought of as a crowbar while the God Slaying Arrows were the items being pried open. For the current Zhao Feng, the God Slaying Arrows were too heavy, so they couldn''t be "pried open" unless he was strong enough.


    In the air above the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, the aura of the Earth-grade weapon and the Inheritance Sacred weapon kept on rising. The spectators maintained their distance as their hearts tensed up.


    "Stop~~~!" A shout sounded, and a boom seemed to hum across the sky. A surge of Magnificent Power from an Emperor descended. All the experts present, including Kings, felt that it was hard to breathe.


    In the next instant:


    Shua!


    A beautiful female wearing a purple crystal crown appeared in the clouds. This beautiful female was covered in a crystal-like light, and she had a noble and elegant aura.


    "Emperor Ling Qiong!" Exclamations of respect and surprise sounded from below. Some of the weaker disciples even knelt down.


    "Greetings, Third Elder." Elder Yin let out a breath, while the other Kings such as King Lu Yun, Elder Wu, and company bowed down.


    "The Third Elder, Emperor Ling Qiong¡­." Zhao Feng looked over.


    This beautiful female was the only female Emperor of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan ¨C Emperor Ling Qiong.


    This couldn''t help but make Zhao Feng remember the Cold Moon Emperor from the Pirate Sacred Land. In comparison to the heroic and icy Cold Moon Emperor, Emperor Ling Qiong was more holy and righteous.


    "Emperor Ling Qiong, you have to help us¡­!" Elder Yin and the injured Elder Wu reported Zhao Feng''s "wicked" actions. "Not only did this brat go against the rules of the clan and not care about the life or death of his fellow clan members, he even rebelled against an Elder and severely injured him."


    Emperor Ling Qiong listened to what the two Elders said, but her expression was as calm as water. No one could tell what she was thinking.


    Zhao Feng was floating in the air and didn''t show much panic against the pressure of an Emperor.


    "As expected of a genius that Duke Nanfeng praises." Praise and interest flashed through the eyes of Emperor Ling Qiong as she inspected Zhao Feng. She showed no signs of enmity, and she gave a pleasant smile instead.


    Elder Yin and Elder Wu felt like this scene was unfair.


    "Third Elder, you have to enforce the rules. My old bones have almost been broken apart!" Elder Wu''s voice trembled. He acted like he was extremely injured and tried to win sympathy.


    "Hmph!" Emperor Ling Qiong''s face went cold. "I saw everything from the beginning till the end."


    Hearing that, the hearts of both Elder Yin and Elder Wu dropped, and their faces went pale.


    "According to some news that I heard, Emperor Ling Qiong and Duke Nanfeng know each other¡­." King Lu Yun and company started to discuss privately not far away.

 874 Tie Litian

    Chapter 874 - Tie Litian


    Emperor Ling Qiong snickered coldly, and the hearts of Elder Wu and Elder Yin went cold as they cried out silently.


    Indeed, what they said a moment ago was exaggerated, but they never expected Emperor Ling Qiong to have seen everything already. Furthermore, Emperor Ling Qiong knew Duke Nanfeng, the ruler of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, and she didn''t hide her praise for Zhao Feng.


    "Since Third Elder saw everything, then please give a fair judgement," King Lu Yun and company suggested.


    There was only a few Void God Realm Emperors in the entire Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and Emperor Ling Qiong''s status was the highest amongst everyone present. On top of that, Emperor Ling Qiong was known for inspiring fear. Many people respected her while others hated her.


    "Sure." Emperor Ling Qiong turned toward Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng!" a cold voice resounded throughout the soul-dimension, and the force of an Emperor covered Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s figure swayed in the air, and he revealed a look of surprise. He originally thought that, because Emperor Ling Qiong praised him and knew Duke Nanfeng, it was very likely that she would protect him. However, from the current situation, it seemed like Emperor Ling Qiong was going to establish her power in front of him.


    However, it didn''t really work out; even the pressure of an Emperor didn''t make Zhao Feng bow, and Emperor Ling Qiong''s expression finally changed. She realized that she had still underestimated Zhao Feng. He was indeed worthy of being praised by Duke Nanfeng and someone that the Duke tried to sway to his side. Back then, Zhao Feng even declined the title of Marquis.


    "May I ask Third Elder what I did wrong and how you will punish me?" Zhao Feng asked calmly.


    For the moment, he didn''t want to fight with an Emperor or with the entire Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. After all, Zhao Feng had used the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan as a big stepping stone.


    "Zhao Feng, did you leave the group in the Divine Illusion Dimension?" Emperor Ling Qiong questioned, and the Magnificent Power from her body became stronger and stronger as it crushed against Zhao Feng. Normal Kings would have crumbled already, but Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same.


    "Yes." Zhao Feng was very straightforward.


    "Were you disrespectful to an Elder and severely injure Elder Wu?" Emperor Ling Qiong''s voice turned cold.


    "Yes," Zhao Feng replied without hesitation.


    Everyone else was dead-silent while Elder Wu and Elder Yin had gloating expressions. They originally thought that Emperor Ling Qiong would protect Zhao Feng, but reality was the complete opposite.


    Some of the clan members looked at Zhao Feng with sympathetic expressions. Everyone knew that Zhao Feng injuring Elder Wu was an accident and was in self-defense anyway.


    "Very good. Zhao Feng, I admire your straightforwardness. Although your actions were forced and understandable, no one knows what really happened in the Divine Illusion Dimension, so I can''t punish you yet." Emperor Ling Qiong''s words took a turn.


    Hearing that, Elder Wu and Elder Yin agreed. From the looks of it, Emperor Ling Qiong was going to punish Zhao Feng, but the truth of what happened in the Divine Illusion Dimension still needed to be confirmed. After all, no one could prove whether Zhao Feng''s words were true or not. Maybe Zhao Feng had even betrayed the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan''s group.


    "You''re not going to punish me right now? Does that mean I can go back and cultivate now?" Zhao Feng said slowly.


    He didn''t really take the possibility of Emperor Ling Qiong punishing him to heart. He wouldn''t be staying in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan for much longer anyway since he would be leaving after he recovered to the Void God Realm.


    "Yes." Emperor Ling Qiong paused. She felt that this youth was kind of ignoring her, but he showed no signs of being disrespectful.


    The other Void God Realm Kings couldn''t help but have weird expressions. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng wasn''t worrying about his future at all, and the fearless expression he had made Emperor Ling Qiong slightly unhappy.


    "I will confine you for two months before the truth is revealed. In the next two months, you are not allowed to leave the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan or else you will be branded as a traitor and killed on sight." Coldness appeared on Emperor Ling Qiong''s face, and the nearby Kings felt a terrifying pressure that made their hearts jump.


    Those familiar with Emperor Ling Qiong knew that Zhao Feng had caused her to be slightly unhappy. With Emperor Ling Qiong''s attitude, it was very likely that she would teach Zhao Feng a lesson.


    "Two months?" Zhao Feng''s footsteps paused for a moment, and he left the black stage as if all of this had nothing to do with him.


    In reality, Zhao Feng was planning to cultivate for two or three months and recover his cultivation to the Void God Realm first anyway. Afterward, his strength would be close to the peak of his previous life ¨C the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor.


    Whoosh!


    An ancient chariot appeared beneath Zhao Feng''s feet and shot into the sky toward the depths of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan with a blazing green flame.


    "What speed! It''s close to the level of an Emperor!" The other Kings were stunned.


    "When did Junior Martial Brother Zhao change his mode of transport?" The eyes of some disciples were filled with envy and jealousy as they watched Zhao Feng leave.


    "Substandard God crystal¡­!" Emperor Ling Qiong couldn''t help but exclaim as she faintly sensed the disturbance of a substandard God crystal from the flaming chariot.


    Substandard God Crystals were basically the highest-ranked Primal Crystal Stones. Even Emperors were attracted to substandard God crystals, and Mystic Light Realm Sacred lords needed them to cultivate.


    However, a substandard God crystal like this was used to fuel a chariot. This meant that Zhao Feng didn''t need to put his True Yuan into the chariot, and it would still have a large supply of energy.


    Emperor Ling Qiong and the other Void God Realm experts watched Zhao Feng enter the depths of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Since Zhao Feng''s route didn''t seem like he was going to leave the clan, Emperor Ling Qiong and company didn''t stop him.


    Within a couple dozen breaths, Zhao Feng had returned to his courtyard. He then put up the sign that he was in seclusion and started to cultivate.


    Before he started cultivating, Zhao Feng merged his consciousness into the Little World within the Misty Spatial World. This Little World had rivers, lakes, grass, trees, and living beings.


    Zhao Feng had put some unique treasures, such as the Green Water Sky Lotuses, Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Roots, and such into the Little World. Apart from that, he had also put the Five Poison Distinct Bees into a certain area and needed to supply them with pollen continuously.


    All of these tasks were given to the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped around and accepted the task, but it requested some resources from Zhao Feng. The amount of resources it asked for was enough to make several Void God Realm Kings bankrupt, but Zhao Feng agreed without hesitation.


    The most important task right now was to organize the dimension within the Misty Spatial World and recover his strength.


    Zhao Feng sat down, and wisps of green Wood of Wind Lightning flickered around him.


    Shua! Shua!


    The Crystal Core of a King, Wujiang Wood, Hundred Origin Fruit Juice, Green Water Sky Lotuses, and some other rare treasures appeared in front of Zhao Feng. Apart from the Wind Lightning Crystal Core, the other resources were mainly of the Wood element, which was beneficial for one''s cultivation, body, bloodline, and even the soul.


    The power of Wind Lightning started to gather in the air above Zhao Feng''s courtyard and form a large ball of Wind Lightning.


    Zhao Feng would have no bottleneck after re-awakening his Emperor Intent. All he needed to do was slowly build up his foundation and train the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the Wood of Wind Lightning within Zhao Feng''s body completely reached the Void God Realm level.


    Zhao Feng''s Crystal Core was different from the norm. His Crystal Core was split into two portions; one side was dark blue while the other was green. It was as if part of a sapphire and part of an emerald had been stuck together.


    The dark blue Crystal Core represented the Water of Wind Lightning and took up two-thirds of the total mass, while the green part that represented the Wood of Wind Lightning took up one third of the total mass. Incredibly, the dark blue Water of Wind Lightning could transform into Wood of Wind Lightning.


    "From Water comes Wood¡­ from Wood comes Fire¡­ from Fire comes Earth¡­ from Earth comes Metal¡­ from Metal comes Water¡­."


    Zhao Feng knew the path he was taking in the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. Of course, at the moment, he could only turn the Water of Wind Lightning into the Wood of Wind Lightning. He couldn''t do it the opposite way unless all five elements were cultivated and formed a complete circuit.


    Currently, Zhao Feng''s ability to store True Yuan far surpassed others of the same cultivation. Once he mastered the five elements, he would be able to wipe out anyone in his path, and he wouldn''t have to be scared of anyone.


    On the twentieth day of Zhao Feng''s seclusion:


    "Peak of the Great Origin Core Realm!"


    Zhao Feng''s aura rose rapidly as the Crystal Core in his body expanded.


    Weng~~


    The power of Wind Lightning was as thick as an ocean in the air above the courtyard.


    The hearts of the nearby Central disciples shook. Apart from some Core disciples, most of the disciples in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan hadn''t even reached the peak Small Origin Core Realm or even the Origin Core Realm at all.


    The quality of Zhao Feng''s True Yuan was comparable to Void God Realm Kings, and he would be able to form his domains as soon as he became a King.


    "I''m just a step away to reaching the peak of my previous life and then surpassing it."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled with excitement and expectation. In this life, the techniques he cultivated were far stronger and had more potential. After the trip to the Divine Illusion Dimension, he also became richer than before.


    Just as Zhao Feng was focusing on trying to break through to the Void God Realm, an unparalleled Dao of Fire aura from an Emperor appeared in the air above the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. The entire clan was covered in a scorching red light that gave off a flaming aura.


    The hearts of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan''s upper echelon members shook. The Kings and Emperors were alarmed, and they had solemn expressions as they tried to peek with their Divine Senses.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had three Emperors. Two of them were in seclusion while Emperor Ling Qiong was the third.


    "Emperor Tie Litian from the Tie Family? Why is he here?" Emperor Ling Qiong''s expression changed slightly.


    Emperor Tie Litian was famed throughout the lord dynasty and came from one of the Eight Big Families, the Tie Family.


    An elder in dark red battle robes could be faintly seen in the scorching red light. The aura of this Dao of Fire Emperor was obviously stronger than Emperor Ling Qiong, and the latter''s breathing was rapid.


    "I came from Xiling Palace and found that the Blood Devil Sun bloodline of my family has appeared in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, so I followed the traces and arrived here. Now the truth is out."


    Tie Litian in his battle robes roared with laughter as his voice boomed across the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.

    Chapter 875 - Not Interested


    "Blood Devil Sun bloodline?" The experts of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan looked at each other and started to discuss. King Lu Yun and company soon thought of one person.


    The Blood Devil Sun bloodline was ranked 81st among the Imperial Dao bloodlines, and it was one of the top bloodlines in the continent zone.


    There was indeed a youth with a bloodline similar to the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, and he was currently being confined.


    "May I ask Elder Tie¡­ what ''truth'' is out?" Solemnness appeared on Emperor Ling Qiong''s face.


    Emperor Ling Qiong was extremely wary of Tie Litian and the Tie Family behind him. Any one of the Eight Big Families of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty was comparable to a three-star power, and any action taken by one could have a big effect on the entire lord dynasty.


    Amongst the Eight Big Families, the Tie Family was one of the stronger ones; it was comparable to a peak three-star power. The Tie Family resided in Xiling Palace and guarded the northwestern region of the lord dynasty.


    They were the main defenders against the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty. All of the members of the Tie Family were raised up through iron and battle; their strength was almost unrivalled amongst those of the same generation.


    In comparison, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan wasn''t even a three-star power, let alone a peak three-star power. It couldn''t be compared to the Tie Family. Therefore, the atmosphere right now in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was very tense.


    The Tie Family was definitely a power that the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan didn''t dare to offend. Tie Litian''s battle-power was extremely strong, and he could easily defeat normal Emperors.


    "I''m going to find Zhao Feng and raise him back at the Tie Family."


    Tie Litian''s eyes became hot as he thought about a perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. He couldn''t contain his excitement just thinking about it.


    "Zhao Feng? I don''t think that will work." Emperor Ling Qiong''s expression changed once more as she replied instantly.


    Some news regarding the Divine Illusion Dimension had spread out not long ago, and one of the most important pieces of news was about Xie Yang Palace and the Black Serpent Dragon with the Destruction Dragon Race bloodline. The stunning treasures within Xie Yang Palace, the power of the Evil God, Ancient God weapons, and substandard God weapons created shockwaves across the lord dynasty.


    Emperor Ling Qiong heard that there was a Purple-Haired Demonic Duo in Xie Yang Palace that surpassed all the other super families and forces. One of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was called Zhao Feng, and Emperor Ling Qiong guessed that her clan''s Zhao Feng was most likely one of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo and had unfathomable strength.


    "''Don''t think that will work''? Hahaha¡­. Does the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan want to block the Tie Family''s path!?" Tie Litian roared with laughter.


    Boom~


    A bright scarlet-red light radiated from Tie Litian and seemed to turn the place into an ocean of fire. Hundreds and thousands of disciples were about to be burned by the scorching flames.


    "Arghh!"


    Some of these members couldn''t take the heat, and they were unable to break through the ocean of fire no matter how they struggled.


    "Stop~~~~!" Emperor Ling Qiong spread her arms, and a crystal-like Little World appeared and started to block the blazing red light coming from Tie Litian. However, this meant that she needed to take Tie Litian''s attack head-on.


    Bam!


    Emperor Ling Qiong groaned and her body shook. Even her Little World started to tremble.


    "You''re not my match. Tell Zhao Feng to come out and talk to me." Tie Litian stood with his hands behind his back as the blazing red light around him suddenly condensed back into his body, turning him into a blazing sun.


    However, it was at this moment that another surge of Emperor aura appeared in the depths of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "Has the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan become so weak that one measly Emperor dares to steal from us¡­?" an old tired voice sounded from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Although the aura of this Emperor wasn''t as forceful as Tie Litian, it was thicker and denser.


    Weng~


    An elder with white hair appeared. He was covered in orange light and radiated a strong surge of Magnificent Power.


    "Old Monster Xu, you''re still alive even after failing to break through to the Mystic Light Realm?" Tie Litian''s eyes finally became slightly wary.


    In the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, only Duke Nanfeng made him wary, but this Old Monster Xu was also not to be underestimated. He was once a peak Emperor, but he failed to break through to the Mystic Light Realm and was coming to the end of his lifespan. Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had three Emperors. Amongst them, Emperor Ling Qiong was the weakest.


    For the next couple of breaths, the Emperors started to talk with each other through Divine Sense. The other Kings could feel the undulation of Divine Senses, but not what they said.


    A long time later, the elder with white hair covered in orange light spoke, "Fine, we''ll do as you wish."


    Shua!


    As soon as he said this, the Emperor Projection of Old Monster Xu disappeared. No one knew what kind of agreement that these Emperors came to.


    "Tell Zhao Feng to come out and make a decision," Emperor Ling Qiong said with a cold expression.


    Due to their wariness toward the Tie Family, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had to take a step back, but they wanted to make it look better and let Zhao Feng decide for himself. Tie Litian was confident, so he agreed.


    A while later:


    "Reporting to Emperor, the place where Zhao Feng is cultivating is unable to be approached because the force there is too strong," a half-step King arrived and said in a hurried tone.


    Hmm? Emperor Ling Qiong and Tie Litian''s Divine Senses turned toward a certain area. A whirlpool of wind and lightning alongside a strong surge of wood and water came from that location.


    "Hahaha, as expected of a member of the Tie Family ¨C managing to acquire the Intent necessary to become a King." Tie Litian roared with laughter, and the expressions of the upper echelon members such as Emperor Ling Qiong and the various Kings became ugly. Such a genius actually hadn''t been discovered by the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    Shua! Shua!


    Tie Litian and Emperor Ling Qiong appeared in the air above Zhao Feng''s courtyard.


    Within the room, Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed as he walked out and looked at the two Emperors in the air.


    "You''re Zhao Feng? Very good, very good." Tie Litian''s face was filled with praise, and a fiery hot light appeared in his eyes, which made Zhao Feng''s hairs stand up on end.


    The strength of this Tie Litian had almost reached the level of a peak Emperor, and he was much stronger than Emperor Mu Yun, who Zhao Feng faced in the Pirate Sacred Land.


    Just as Zhao Feng was feeling lost:


    Shua!


    Tie Litian waved his hand, and an old figure appeared from his Little World.


    "Grandfather Zhao!?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but exclaim.


    Grandfather Zhao was the grandfather of the original Zhao Feng. Since the original Zhao Feng''s parents had died when he was still young, his grandfather had raised him. The relationship between the two was like father and son.


    "Feng''er, do you still remember the surname of your mother?" Grandfather Zhao let out a long sigh as complex emotions covered his face. He learned the secret of Zhao Feng''s bloodline, and it wasn''t as simple as he ever would''ve imagined


    "Surname?" Zhao Feng started to think. Since he had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, he could easily find the memories in the depths of his mind. He soon found the answer; the name of the original Zhao Feng''s mother was Tie Xiuli.


    "Tie?"


    The bodies of Emperor Ling Qiong and the Kings from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan shook with disbelief.


    "Aye, I didn''t think that your mother would be a member of one of the Eight Big Families," Grandfather Zhao said. It was obvious that he only learned of this not long ago as well.


    Zhao Feng stood still for a while. He had indeed been curious about his bloodline and was planning to go back to the Zhao Family and ask about it. He didn''t expect that this Blood Devil Sun bloodline had caught the attention of an expert from the Tie Family.


    After knowing the truth, the upper echelons of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan couldn''t help but sigh. Without even having to think about it, Zhao Feng would definitely choose to go to the Tie Family and not stay in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, which was only a peak two-star power. Not to mention, Zhao Feng had just been confined by Emperor Ling Qiong not long ago.


    No wonder Tie Litian was so confident and made the deal to let Zhao Feng decide on his own.


    "Feng''er, why aren''t you following this Emperor?" Grandfather Zhao warned and signaled to Zhao Feng, as if saying that joining a super family like the Tie Family would help both Zhao Feng and the Zhao Family.


    Tie Litian had a faint smile as he waited for Zhao Feng''s reply with confidence. On the contrary, Emperor Ling Qiong and company had ugly expressions as they prepared for the worst.


    "I''m sorry, but I''m not interested in my birthright. Right now, I only want to focus on cultivation." Zhao Feng''s gaze scanned over the two Emperors in the air and turned around, leaving behind the image of his back as he walked away.


    Everyone was stunned. The mouths of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan upper echelon members present fell open.


    "You¡­!" Tie Litian''s expression was even more colorful. It was as if he had been choked, and his face went bright red as he floated in the air.


    "Hehe, Zhao Feng didn''t decide to leave with you. According to the deal we made¡­" Emperor Ling Qiong was extremely surprised and let out a faint smile. She never would have thought that Zhao Feng wouldn''t be interested in returning to the Tie Family.


    "Hmph, he didn''t exactly choose to stay in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan either." Tie Litian harrumphed coldly as he left with Grandfather Zhao. According to the deal, he didn''t lose yet. Zhao Feng hadn''t chosen the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan or the Tie Family. It could be said that he wasn''t interested in choosing.


    Zhao Feng started to cultivate again back in his room.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan became calm and quiet once more after Tie Litian left. Emperor Ling Qiong gave the order to not let anyone enter the area around Zhao Feng''s courtyard.


    "Zhao Feng doesn''t even bother with Emperors as strong as Tie Litian. Could he really be one of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo and one of the biggest winners of Xie Yang Palace?" Emperor Ling Qiong instinctively felt that the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan wouldn''t be able to contain this rising dragon.


    Time passed, and news travelled from the central region of the continent toward the Tianfeng Great Island Zone near the ocean. The news shocked Emperor Ling Qiong and the upper echelon of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    Almost two months had passed since the end of the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Within the room, Zhao Feng had reached the critical stage of his cultivation, and the surges of Wind Lightning True Yuan in his Crystal Core started to form the outline of a True Yuan dimension.


    Because Zhao Feng already had Emperor Intent, his True Yuan was comparable to a half-step King when he was at the peak Great Origin Core Realm.


    The last two months of cultivation had almost allowed him to become a King. All he needed to do was construct his True Yuan dimension.

 876 Brewing Storm, Return of the King!

    Chapter 876 - Brewing Storm, Return of the King!


    The area around where Zhao Feng was cultivating was completely cleared by the clan''s upper echelon. There was no one else within a hundred miles of him.


    Weng~~


    The whirlpool of wind and lightning above the courtyard was as thick as the ocean. Every breath caused a huge chunk of Wind Lightning to surge in and then excrete the impure Yuan Qi.


    This force made even Kings feel pressured and unable to approach.


    There was the occasional Divine Sense that scanned toward the area where Zhao Feng was cultivating.


    "It''s hard to imagine that he''s already fulfilled the requirements needed to break through to a King at such a young age. He isn''t far away from actually breaking through¡­."


    "The power of his Wind Lightning Intent also surpasses the norm."


    The Kings of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan discussed in private.


    Almost two months had passed since the Divine Illusion Dimension. In this period of time when Zhao Feng was cultivating, one piece of news after another came from the lord dynasty.


    Within a crystal palace on a high mountain of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan:


    "Reporting to Third Elder, according to the news from the central regions of the lord dynasty and Earth Spirit Hall, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was the biggest winner in Xie Yang Palace. I believe that Zhao Feng from our clan is one of those two ¨C the leader of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo." A half-step King knelt on the ground with respect.


    "The leader of the Demonic Duo!? Are you sure about this?" Emperor Ling Qiong exclaimed.


    Even though she was somewhat ready for it, she didn''t expect Zhao Feng to actually be the leader of the Demonic Duo. What was more incredible was that the duo was the biggest winner in Xie Yang Palace.


    From the news they had received, either one of the Demonic Duo was strong enough to not fear normal Emperors.


    "Gu Chaozhi from Earth Spirit Hall talked with the Demonic Duo before and is familiar with them," the half-step King said confidently.


    Earth Spirit Hall was one of the three-star powers on the edge of the continent, not too far away from the Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    Later that day, the elders of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan held an emergency meeting. After confirming Zhao Feng''s identity, the upper echelon of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan didn''t dare to do anything rashly.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng''s strength was incredulous, and he surely had some hidden cards after coming escaping Xie Yang Palace.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng''s backing was strong; he had an Emperor for a master as well as Duke Nanfeng''s favor.


    Thirdly, the Tie Family. The Tie Family was one of the top families even among the Eight Big Families, and they were the main resistance against the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty. Emperor Tie Litian of the Tie Family hadn''t left yet; he was staying not far away from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    In the clouds, Tie Litian in his dark red battle robes gazed down at the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan with glittering eyes.


    "I didn''t think that this youth with the bloodline of my Tie Family was one of the biggest winners of Xie Yang Palace. I underestimated him¡­." Tie Litian murmured as his expression started to become solemn.


    The problem of Zhao Feng returning to the Tie Family was starting to become complicated.


    The treasures within Xie Yang Palace were something that three-star and four-star super powers were unable to resist. Furthermore, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had made countless enemies in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    In a mountain range surrounded by dark mist within the continent zone, there were demonic auras that could scare both Gods and Ghosts alike. This place was a famous Sacred Land of the lord dynasty ¨C the Nine Darkness Mountain Range.


    When speaking about the Nine Darkness Mountain Range, one had to talk about the ruling force here ¨C Nine Darkness Palace.


    Nine Darkness Palace was one of the strongest Demonic Dao forces of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, and it was once a four-star power. Even though it was now only a peak three-star power, it was an elite force among the other three-star forces, and it was essentially the leader of the Demonic Dao cultivators.


    However, on this day, roars of anger and surges of killing intent came from within a central hall of Nine Darkness Palace.


    "The elites of Nine Darkness Palace were slaughtered by one of the Demonic Duo, Nan Gongsheng!"


    "Jiu Wuji had broken through to become a Peak-tier King at that point, but he couldn''t even fight back against that brat. Looks like the news of him inheriting the Evil God''s power is true."


    The owners of these voices were all at least Peak-tier Kings. Many of them were Emperors or even stronger. Some of the Demonic Dao Emperors had just come out of seclusion and were enraged by this news.


    Normal Kings'' hearts would jump and they would be unable to breathe if they were here.


    "Reporting to Grand Elder," a King half-knelt on the ground and said in a trembling tone, "No one knows about Nan Gongsheng of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, but there have been traces of him in the central regions of the lord dynasty."


    Nan Gongsheng. The upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace all remembered this name. It was this person that killed all the elites from Nine Darkness Palace that had entered Xie Yang Palace.


    Nan Gongsheng''s battle-power was at least comparable to an Emperor.


    "Apart from that, Zhao Feng of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo comes from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone. That place is Duke Nanfeng''s territory."


    The King half-knelt on the ground and looked toward the Grand Elder that was covered in demonic light.


    The aura of the Grand Elder was extremely empty. His body seemed to be weightless; he was like a ball of demonic light that had surpassed the limits of flesh and blood. If it wasn''t for the fact that they were looking right at the Grand Elder, he would have been ignored.


    The Grand Elder hadn''t spoken since the start. Two powerful existences stood on his left and right; a black-robed demonic lord and a charming demonic girl in purple-black flames respectively.


    Under these three major figures were the other Emperors, including some peak Emperors.


    "Killing Nan Gongsheng will require at least several Emperors. To make sure of our success, we will send out a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord."


    No one saw the charming demonic girl in black flames say anything, but her voice resounded across both the physical and mental dimensions.


    "Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord!"


    The hearts of the Kings and Emperors present shook.


    Peak Emperors were at the level of Duanmu Qing, the Wind Lightning Emperor, and even the Emperor of Death. According to Nan Gongsheng''s strength, two or three peak Emperors would be more than enough to kill Nan Gongsheng, but the upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace placed great importance on this matter.


    "As for the other person of the Demonic Duo ¨C Zhao Feng ¨C he''s said to be extremely mysterious and not to be underestimated¡­." The black-robed demonic lord nodded his head.


    At this moment, the two Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords looked at each other as they made a decision.


    The demonically-lit Grand Elder who sat in the middle let out one word; "Okay."


    The second he said that, the unfathomable Grand Elder disappeared.


    If the Demigod Kun Yun was here, he would be shocked by what he saw.


    Elsewhere in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, in a place known as Sky Suspension Palace, a group of palaces floated amongst the clouds. This place was like heaven as it looked down on everything.


    On a lone peak sat two mortals with normal auras playing chess with each other. These two mortals were a flabby-faced big-eared fatty and a wrinkled elder without any signs of life.


    Whoosh!


    Right at this point, the magnificent aura of an Emperor descended.


    "Reporting to the two Martial Ancestors, we can faintly feel the direction of the Black Serpent Dragon. There are also traces of where Nan Gongsheng ¨C who inherited the power of the Evil God ¨C is."


    The aura of this Emperor even surpassed Tie Litian and was close to the Emperor of Death.


    "Based on the Mark of Destruction, the strength of that black loach hasn''t recovered to the Demigod level yet. There''s still a chance to seal it right now," the wrinkled elder said.


    "The price required to seal that black loach is too big. We need to drag those old undead from the Grand Imperial Hall with us. They definitely won''t watch the lord dynasty just come to an end," the flabby-faced elder said in a cunning tone.


    These two "mortals" looked at each other and soon came to an agreement.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was still cultivating in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. He didn''t realize that he had entered the whirlpool of the lord dynasty. He only had one target right now, and that was to recover to the Void God Realm and then surpass the peak of his previous life.


    "It''s about time¡­."


    Zhao Feng circulated the Wood and Water of Wind Lightning. The Crystal Core within his dantian had stabilised and wouldn''t change in size, but the inner part of the Crystal Core had changed dramatically. The True Yuan had turned into an ocean and formed its own dimension.


    With the formation of a True Yuan dimension, Zhao Feng would step into the domain of Kings.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    On this day, the sound of flying appeared in the air, and powerful auras one after another covered the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. The owners of these auras were all at least Void God Realm Kings, and there were four or five Void God Realm Emperors.


    "That''s¡­!!?" Tie Litian revealed a surprised look as he floated in the air. He had already recognized where this force came from.


    In the entire lord dynasty, there were only a few three-star forces.


    "Void God Realm experts from Earth Spirit Hall!"


    Chaos broke out amongst the entire Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Even Emperor Ling Qiong started to panic.


    "Earth Spirit Hall probably doesn''t have good intentions." Emperor Ling Qiong''s heart went cold.


    Earth Spirit Hall was the only three-star power in the surrounding area, and it was even slightly stronger than the Mystic True Sacred Clan that Zhao Feng was originally from.


    "Ten Thousand Sacred Clan? This is the clan that Zhao Feng is from?" Gu Chaozhi was amongst the Kings and Emperors. His Divine Sense started to scan across the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    Although he was wary of Zhao Feng, the difference in strength between the two forces was extremely big. Earth Spirit Hall was a three-star power, and the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was a two-star power. This would be an absolute slaughter.


    "Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, hand over Zhao Feng of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo," a voice sounded across Heaven and Earth and caused the mountains underneath the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan to shake as surges of Magnificent Power covered them.


    The upper echelon of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan wasn''t surprised that Earth Spirit Hall wanted Zhao Feng.


    Emperor Ling Qiong and company instinctively looked toward the area where Zhao Feng was cultivating and found that the whirlpool of Wind Lightning above the courtyard was fading away.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng had silently completed his breakthrough and concealed his aura. This definitely wasn''t something new Kings could do.

 877 I don’t want to start a slaughter

    Chapter 877 - I Don''t Want to Start a Slaughter


    In reality, Zhao Feng had broken through to the Void God Realm two days ago. There was no bottleneck to the Void God Realm since his soul had already reached that level long ago.


    Zhao Feng was focused on forming his True Yuan dimension. Back in the Divine Illusion Dimension, Zhao Feng decided to focus on the quality of True Yuan, and he aimed for explosiveness.


    The quality of his True Yuan while in the Great Origin Core Realm was already comparable to Void God Realm Kings. Now that he had actually reached the Void God Realm, the quality of his True Yuan was even higher; it was comparable to Domain-level Kings.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    The Water of Wind Lightning and the Wood of Wind Lightning interacted on the surface of Zhao Feng''s body and gave off a smooth flow.


    In the past two months of seclusion, with the help of countless resources, Zhao Feng''s Wood of Wind Lightning had broken through to the early stages of the 7th level and was approaching the late stages.


    From the 7th level onward, each level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique represented one of the five elements and were split into the beginning, early, late, and peak stages.


    The 7th level of the Wind Lightning Technique was comparable to the 5th level of the Sacred Lightning Body.


    With the rise in cultivation, Zhao Feng''s state of existence, body, and soul all became stronger by a certain degree.


    Due to the large amounts of Hundred Origin Fruit Juice and other resources consumed, Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body had reached the late stages of the 5th level. In terms of soul-strength, Zhao Feng''s soul was comparable to Emperors, and it even surpassed some Emperors in terms of refinement quality. His Emperor Intent had mainly recovered as well.


    Zhao Feng''s strength shouldn''t have increased by too much after breaking through to the Void God Realm since the quality of his True Yuan was already comparable to a King. All that increased should have been his foundation and a bit of battle-power. However, Zhao Feng had used a lot of treasures when breaking through to the Void God Realm, causing a chain reaction that increased his state of existence, soul Intent, and some other aspects.


    "My strength should be at 60-70% of my previous life, and it''s even better in some respects, such as the body," Zhao Feng estimated.


    Right at this moment, surges of Magnificent Power appeared in the air above the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Just the Emperor-level auras alone numbered about five.


    "Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, hand over Zhao Feng of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo."


    "The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo is extremely evil, and they''ve stolen from many people. They should be killed as a warning to others!"


    "Hmph, a substandard God weapon isn''t something a measly two-star power can protect."


    The Void God Realm experts of Earth Spirit Hall looked down at the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and called out. These voices didn''t even hide their intention to take the substandard God weapon. From this, one could imagine that the world of cultivation in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty was extremely cruel ¨C the strong ruled the weak. In the areas near the ocean, this law was enforced even more.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The Void God Realm experts of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had to appear in this situation. After all, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan used to be a three-star power, and they had three Emperors and more than a dozen Kings.


    At this moment, Emperor Ling Qiong and a black-robed youth appeared.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    A white-haired elder covered in orange light formed in the air.


    Two Emperors and one Emperor Projection.


    "Hehe¡­ Old Monster Xu, it seems like, after failing to break through to the Mystic Light Realm and reaching the end of your lifespan, you can''t use your full power." An Emperor in golden robes from Earth Spirit Hall smiled.


    This golden-robed Emperor was covered in a golden light, and his aura pressured all the other Emperors. He was a peak Emperor.


    "Zhang Xuandong, one of the three peak Emperors of Earth Spirit Hall." Emperor Ling Qiong and the black-robed youth Emperor next to her exchanged glances as their expressions became solemn.


    The battle-power of peak Emperors surpassed normal Emperors by a lot, and they were extremely rare. Since Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords were usually in seclusion trying to comprehend the path of Godhood, not many appeared in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. In other words, peak Emperors were almost completely unrivalled.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan originally had a peak Emperor as well ¨C Old Monster Xu. However, since his lifespan was reaching its end, his strength had also dropped dramatically.


    "The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan seems to have met some trouble." Zhao Feng walked out of the room.


    At this instant, the entire Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was covered by surges of Magnificent Power. The hearts of the disciples all trembled, and they didn''t dare to even take a big breath. Luckily, the Void God Realm experts were all facing off in the air.


    "Zhao Feng!" Gu Chaozhi exclaimed the second Zhao Feng appeared.


    Gu Chaozhi''s eyes were filled with respect, wariness, and excitement.


    They met each other in the underground city of the Divine Illusion Dimension. At the last moment in Xie Yang Palace, Gu Chaozhi was threatened by the Black Serpent Dragon, betrayed the humans, and handed over the keys to the Yuan Sealing Divine Chains.


    These scenes flashed through Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "He''s that Zhao Feng? One of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo?" The gazes of the Kings and Emperors from Earth Spirit Hall landed on Zhao Feng.


    It had been two months since the Divine Illusion Dimension ended, and the stories of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had spread throughout the upper echelons of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    Of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, the unfathomable younger one was the leader. His name was Zhao Feng, but that wasn''t really important. The important thing was that he was one of the biggest winners of Xie Yang Palace.


    "Looks like I can''t stay in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan any longer¡­." Zhao Feng murmured.


    He had used the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan as a stepping stone and become one of the biggest winners of Xie Yang Palace, but he also brought disaster to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "Zhao Feng, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan probably can''t protect you any longer, but we will try our best to stop them while you run," the Emperor Projection of Old Monster Xu sent a private message to Zhao Feng.


    The three Emperors of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan in the air had grim expressions. Earth Spirit Hall was one entire star higher than the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. In a head-on clash, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had no chances of winning at all. They were already doing their best by offering to help Zhao Feng escape.


    "Zhao Feng, you might be able to survive if you escape to the Duke''s Palace," Emperor Ling Qiong warned.


    The Duke''s Palace was, in theory, the ruler of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, and it represented the Great Gan Imperials.


    "Run?" Mockery formed on Zhao Feng''s face. For some reason, he recalled his memories of the Pursuit of Death.


    "Thank you for all your goodwill, but these clowns aren''t enough to force me to run." Zhao Feng shook his head and smiled as he gave a faint bow toward Emperor Ling Qiong and company.


    Hearing that, both friend and foe alike broke out into discussion.


    "Arrogant brat!"


    "Ridiculous! A junior that just became a King doesn''t even know how high Heaven and Earth are."


    The Kings and Emperors from Earth Spirit Hall roared with laughter.


    Boom! Xiu Xiu Xiu~~~~!


    More than ten King Intents and a few Emperor Intents crushed onto Zhao Feng. These Intents created loud explosions in the soul-dimension and summoned enough power to shatter mountains.


    Crack! Boom~~~~!


    The area where Zhao Feng was standing crumbled as surges of powerful Intent thundered down.


    "Not good!" Tie Litian in his dark red battle robes couldn''t help but exclaim in the air.


    The combination of so many King and Emperor Intents could shatter the mental energy or even the soul of a normal King.


    Emperor Ling Qiong and the others from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan were caught off-guard as well.


    What Zhao Feng said enraged everyone, and the Kings and Emperors of Earth Spirit Hall couldn''t wait to kill him and take his substandard God weapon.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng just stood there without moving. The aura of his soul was like the ocean, and his body was like the mountains that didn''t change no matter how much time passed. These Intents only pressured his soul slightly; they were like stones that fell into the ocean when they landed on Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Boom!


    The barrage of Intents from these Kings and Emperors all ended in failure.


    "This¡­ how is this possible!?" the Void God Realm experts of Earth Spirit Hall exclaimed.


    Even normal Emperors wouldn''t be able to take on so many Intents without being harmed, but Zhao Feng remained completely unharmed. No sound at all was caused. At this moment in time, those from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and Earth Spirit Hall acted like they had just seen a ghost.


    "One can only do such a thing if their soul has reached the level of a peak Emperor." Emperor Ling Qiong took a deep breath, and the golden-robed Emperor Zhang Xuandong and company stopped underestimating Zhao Feng as they revealed a solemn expression.


    From the surface, Zhao Feng had only just reached the Void God Realm, but if they looked closely, they would realize that Zhao Feng''s True Yuan was extremely compact and far surpassed normal Kings. His control had reached an incredible level.


    "Gu Chaozhi, take the members of your clan and return. I don''t want to start a slaughter." Zhao Feng walked over casually as he looked at Gu Chaozhi.


    Start a slaughter? Gu Chaozhi''s hairs stood up. He didn''t know why, but when Zhao Feng looked at him, he didn''t feel safe despite all the Kings and Emperors by his side. Time seemed to travel back to Xie Yang Palace, where Zhao Feng used the Gaze of the God''s Eye and pulled out the souls of the Blue Serpent King and the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon. The fear from that time was still present.


    "Start a slaughter?" The Kings and Emperors from Earth Spirit Hall had disdainful expressions and acted like they just heard a joke.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng slowly took a step.


    Shua!


    Only an afterimage was left behind. The present Void God Realm Kings all felt their eyes blur. None of them saw how Zhao Feng moved.


    The next instant, Zhao Feng appeared in the sky between the forces of Earth Spirit Hall and the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    Sii!


    Kings and Emperors from both sides took in cold breaths. The speed that Zhao Feng displayed was simply too fast ¨C faster than all the other Emperors other than the peak Emperor Zhang Xuandong.


    "You¡­!" Cold sweat appeared on Gu Chaozhi''s forehead. As Zhao Feng looked at him, fear spread through his heart, and he didn''t doubt that Zhao Feng had the ability to start a slaughter.


    The group from Earth Spirit Hall fell silent, maybe because of Zhao Feng''s mysteriousness or maybe because of his speed. However, would such a huge group from a three-star power be scared by a junior that had just become a King?


    The answer was obvious.

 878 Emotionless Massacre

    Chapter 878 - Emotionless Massacre


    In the air above the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan:


    Shua!


    With one step, Zhao Feng arrived between the Void God Realm experts of both forces.


    "Start a slaughter?"


    The experts of Earth Spirit Hall and the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan fell silent as incredulous expressions appeared on the faces of both friend and foes alike. Those from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan guessed that Zhao Feng had some sort of scheme while the Kings and Emperors of Earth Spirit Hall only paused for a moment before disdainful expressions appeared on their faces.


    Although Zhao Feng was very fast ¨C faster than most of the people here ¨C the chances of him defeating so many Kings, several Emperors, and even a peak Emperor were very small, let alone killing them.


    "Hahaha¡­!" The golden-robed Zhang Xuandong of Earth Spirit Hall roared with laughter. "Ignorant youngster, do you really think that you''ll be able to scare away the entire force of Earth Spirit Hall with just one sentence?"


    Hearing that, the Void God Realm experts from Earth Spirit Hall all started to laugh. The answer was obvious; would the entire upper echelon of Earth Spirit Hall ¨C a three-star power ¨C be scared away by just one sentence from a mere junior?


    However, Gu Chaozhi couldn''t laugh. What happened in the Divine Illusion Dimension replayed through his mind. The purple-haired youth in his eyes right now seemed to be full of confidence. Even now, he showed no signs of panic.


    A faint smile formed on the face of the purple-haired youth: "You might not be scared right now, but in the future, you definitely will."


    As soon as he finished say that:


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    Zhao Feng took another step, leaving behind blurry images of Wind Lightning in the air.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng wasn''t merely fast. His movements were extremely profound; they contained not only the Dao of Wind Lightning, but the Dao of Illusion as well.


    "Everyone, watch out!"


    Most of the Kings and Emperors from Earth Spirit Hall were unable to see how Zhao Feng moved.


    Now that Zhao Feng had recovered most of his Emperor Intent, the power of his Intent stood at the peak. Apart from the peak Emperor Zhang Xuandong, everyone else was below him.


    Whoosh!


    One of the Wind Lightning figures suddenly radiated a golden glow of physical force. This ring of physical force made the air tremble as it shot out.


    "Not good!" Zhang Xuandong and the other Emperors of Earth Spirit Hall exclaimed as they felt the terrifying power contained within the blast of gold and blue.


    However, their warning was too late.


    Whoosh~~~~!


    The instant Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was unleashed, his speed also increased dramatically.


    Boom!


    Amidst thunder and lightning, Zhao Feng ripped apart an off-guard Void God Realm King with his hands.


    "Arghh!"


    This Void God Realm King wasn''t able to block the power generated by the late stages of the Sacred Lightning Body''s 5th level and was crushed into bloody chunks.


    Zhao Feng didn''t even use any True Yuan in this punch; he killed a Domain-level King with just pure physical strength.


    Sii!


    Everyone became dead-silent. Both friend and foe alike were stunned as they watched Zhao Feng kill a Domain-level King with such outstanding speed and power.


    Everyone knew that Zhao Feng was fast and strong, but none of them would have ever imagined that an experienced Domain-level King would be killed without even having the ability to fight back.


    Gu Chaozhi''s heart went cold. He saw the casual expression that Zhao Feng had when he killed that Domain-level King. It was as if killing a Domain-level King was the same as killing a dog or pig. From the underground city to Xie Yang Palace, this youth was always confident in himself.


    "That''s the first," Zhao Feng said calmly. "If you retreat now, you still have a chance."


    Those from Earth Spirit Hall were silent before becoming enraged and charging toward Zhao Feng.


    "This brat is extremely fast. Surround him!" Emperor Zhang Xuandong roared.


    The purple-haired youth showed no signs of panic. A mocking smile formed on his face.


    "Wings of Wind and Lightning!"


    A pair of Wind Lightning wings formed behind Zhao Feng''s back. It created a whirlwind as it fluttered. The Water of Wind Lightning and the Wood of Wind Lightning turned into two beams of light that shot into the sky.


    The Intent contained within the Wings of Wind and Lightning was comparable to peak Emperors. Normal Kings were unable to even get close to Zhao Feng, and the Wings of Wind and Lightning were just a tool to raise Zhao Feng''s speed.


    Whoosh!


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning as well as his physical force pushed Zhao Feng''s speed to the limit.


    "Get back here!"


    An Emperor and several Kings barely managed to block the trajectory of Zhao Feng''s flight.


    Boom~~~!


    Zhao Feng laughed as he charged forward without fear and simply pushed the Void God Realm Emperor away.


    "What!?" the Emperor exclaimed as he was pushed back, and the blood within his body boiled. Although Zhao Feng hadn''t actually injured him, pushing away an Emperor with just physical strength alone was too shocking.


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning combined with the Sacred Lightning Body raised Zhao Feng''s speed and strength to the point where he had the ability to shove aside an Emperor. This scene caused the expressions of the experts on both sides to change dramatically.


    The 5th level of the Sacred Lightning Body is comparable to the Void God Realm. The late stages of the 5th level means that one can fight against normal Emperors with pure physical strength alone and crush any Kings.


    Zhao Feng felt the tremendous energy within his body. His every breath, action, and movement contained the power to move mountains and stop the flow of rivers. He didn''t even need to use True Yuan.


    This was the path that the Demigod Kun Yun walked down in the past. Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was essentially just the strengthened version of the Golden Kun Body.


    "Junior, get back here!"


    Although the Emperor was pushed away, there was still one Domain-level King and a Peak-tier King nearby. These two Kings both specialized in speed.


    Since the Emperor managed to stall Zhao Feng for a short moment, these two Kings had the chance to take action.


    "Kill!"


    Zhao Feng didn''t dodge or evade. He simply circulated the power of his Sacred Lightning Body and punched out toward the two Kings.


    These two Kings knew that Zhao Feng was strong, so they used their full strength.


    "Illusion Maze Domain!"


    However, the instant Zhao Feng punched out, the two Kings'' hearts shook as their consciousness entered a misty city. They lost control of their bodies and power.


    "Argh! Arghhh!"


    These two Kings were covered in a forceful golden-blue physical force, and two screams sounded at almost the exact same moment.


    Boom! Peng! Peng!


    Two Kings ¨C a Domain-level King and a Peak-tier King ¨C were both slain.


    "Double kill!" Emperor Ling Qiong, King Lu Yun, and the others from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had gaping mouths. Moments ago, Zhao Feng killed a Domain-level King with just one fist, and now he had slain two Kings with one fist, one of which was a Peak-tier King.


    "That was the second and the third."


    That calm voice made the hearts of the Earth Spirit Hall experts go cold. A junior that only just become a King killed three Void God Realm Kings, which made the Kings and Emperors of Earth Spirit Hall feel like they lost face, and yet the youth who did this acted like nothing even happened.


    "Lightning Wings Flying Technique!" The Wings of Wind and Lightning behind Zhao Feng''s back shook as they released blurry Lightning images and the laws of Space.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng disappeared.


    "Die!" The next instant, the golden-robed Emperor Zhang Xuandong and two other Emperors arrived and unleashed their attacks, and they were strong enough to shake Heaven and Earth.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The three Emperors caused the air to shake, and they released wisps of forbidden power that pushed all the nearby Kings away. Part of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan below was destroyed.


    The power contained in these attacks was enough to kill a normal Emperor, but they missed. The purple-haired youth seemed to be in control of the whole situation as he dodged the combined offense by being one step ahead.


    "Wind Lightning Wings Slash!"


    Zhao Feng appeared among the Earth Spirit Hall group on the other side.


    Shu~~~!


    The instant he appeared, a sharp beam of lightning flashed by a Domain-level King.


    "Argh~~~~!"


    That Domain-level King couldn''t even react as he was sliced in two by Zhao Feng.


    Another scream sounded in the air, and panic started to spread among the Void God Realms from Earth Spirit Hall. The aura of an immortal and undying Lightning tribulation would flicker whenever Zhao Feng killed a King, which would engulf the soul of the killed King before it could escape.


    "The fourth."


    The emotionless voice was like the sound of death, and it made the Kings from Earth Spirit Hall tremble.


    Reality proved that anyone weaker than an Emperor didn''t have a chance to fight back at all against Zhao Feng.


    "Junior, if you''re really talented, then attack us!" The Emperors from Earth Spirit Hall were extremely angry. They weren''t scared of Zhao Feng, but his speed was faster than normal Emperors and he had the ability to foresee what would happen when they tried to attack.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    The golden-robed Emperor Zhang Xuandong and the other Emperors split up to block Zhao Feng. The Emperors were the backbone for the other Kings, and they didn''t dare to be alone. Their hearts were tense all the time.


    From the beginning, Zhao Feng hadn''t failed even once. Every time he took action, he could kill a King or even two.


    The atmosphere was extremely tense. The Kings and Emperors from Earth Spirit Hall were all extremely wary and didn''t dare to be off guard.


    Hu~ Shua!


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng released a golden light and appeared once more. There were a few Void God Realm Kings close to him.


    "Quick, dodge!" These three Void God Realm Kings acted like they were facing a great foe and moved back.


    "Don''t even think about it~~~~!" An Emperor Intent shot over and landed on Zhao Feng.


    The Kings of Earth Spirit Hall were in groups of three to five, and they were all close to an Emperor.


    "Brat, attack me if you think you''re so skilled!" The Emperor wore black battle robes, and he roared as he spread his Little World and charged at Zhao Feng.


    Wu~~


    The Emperor in black robes spread his arms, and rings of white lightning shot out and covered everything within a couple dozen miles around Zhao Feng.


    Ding! Ding! Ding~~~~!


    Sparks flew from Zhao Feng''s golden-blue Sacred Lightning Body. His body became faintly numb as the rings of white lightning wrapped around him and slowed him down.


    "Success!" The Void God Realm experts from Earth Spirit Hall revealed overjoyed expressions.


    "You want me to attack you? As you wish."


    Zhao Feng''s purple hair blew wildly in the wind as a cold purple light flashed through his left eye. His body became taller and transformed into a miniature giant that released a blazing light as if he was the sun.

 879 Despair

    Chapter 879 - Despair


    While those from Earth Spirit Hall were feeling overjoyed, Zhao Feng charged at the black-battle-robed Void God Realm Emperor instead of retreating. At this instant, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body rose once more, and he turned into a miniature giant as the Blood Devil Sun bloodline in his body released a blazing glow of light.


    Ding! Ding! Ding!


    The white ripples of lightning did almost no damage to Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body. This black-battle-robed Emperor specialized in the Dao of Lightning and could confine normal Emperors, but it had no effect on Zhao Feng.


    "What¡­?" The Emperor in black battle robes realized that something was amiss ¨C that Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was extremely resilient against lightning. It could even absorb part of his attack.


    Boom~~~~!


    A pair of Wind Lightning wings formed behind the miniature sun giant''s back and summoned a storm that contained enough power to make Emperors cry out.


    Even after re-cultivating, Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning Technique still inherited the speed of the old Wind Lightning Inheritance. His body was stronger than before as well, and when combined with the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, he became even faster.


    Whoosh! Hu~~~~!


    The black-battle-robed Emperor was caught off guard and didn''t have enough time to dodge. A blazing light shot straight into him and exploded.


    "Illusion Maze Domain!"


    The same instant the attack arrived, a powerful Soul Dao Domain ignored the black-robed Emperor''s Little World and engulfed him.


    Even the black-robed Emperor panicked for a while and was unable to completely ignore the effect of the Illusion Maze Domain.


    Peng! Boom! Wah!


    The black-robed Emperor retreated several hundred yards as shock appeared on his face. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and he felt part of his Yuan Qi and energy disappear as a fire burned on his body.


    The black-robed Emperor''s expression was ugly. In just one attack, he was severely injured by Zhao Feng and spat out blood.


    "How is this possible!?" The Void God Realms from Earth Spirit Hall called out.


    Emperor Ling Qiong and the other Void God Realms from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan were dazed and just stood there.


    "The perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline¡­!" Emperor Tie Litian, who was watching from the clouds, revealed an excited and overjoyed expression. The power of Zhao Feng''s Blood Devil Sun bloodline had surpassed his imagination. Each attack would ignite the opponent''s body and make them lose part of their energy. Even more incredibly, Zhao Feng''s energy would then be replenished as well.


    At this moment, even after unleashing a powerful blow with his Sacred Lightning Body and Blood Devil Sun bloodline, Zhao Feng actually became more energetic.


    "Becoming even fiercer as one battles. A bloodline like this that lives for battle must not die or go to any other force other than the Tie Family." Tie Litian trembled with excitement.


    Although the normal Blood Devil Sun bloodline had explosive power, the weakness was that it couldn''t last very long, but Zhao Feng had a perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. Even if he was severely injured, he could use the bloodline to quickly recover.


    Using the Sacred Lightning Body as the base, the Blood Devil Sun bloodline for explosiveness, and the Wind Lightning Technique for speed and agility¡­


    Zhao Feng was like a small flaming giant as he floated in the air. The combination of his technique and bloodline could unleash extremely strong battle-power. Although it was a surprise attack, he was able to severely injure an Emperor.


    The late stages of the Sacred Lightning Body''s 5th level gave Zhao Feng a strong physical body and allowed him to clash even against Emperors. The Blood Devil Sun bloodline could ignite a person''s body, and then the lifesteal effect could allow him to fight for a long time. The Wind Lightning Technique gave him speed and agility; because his Intent was so strong, Zhao Feng could move amongst the Kings and Emperors without worry.


    The severely-injured black-robed Emperor''s heart went cold as the majority of his battle-intent faded.


    "Stall him for a couple breaths." The other Emperors from Earth Spirit Hall recovered from the shock and charged in from the other directions.


    The black-robed Emperor also knew the meaning behind this ¨C he probably wasn''t able to defeat this monstrous youth alone.


    "Die!" The miniature-giant Zhao Feng summoned a tornado of wind and lightning and charged over with incredible speed.


    Hu~~ Boom!


    The powerful and chaotic aura made the black-robed Emperor''s blood boil and his body become heavy. This was due to the combined pressure of the Sacred Lightning Body and the Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    "It''s not that easy to kill me." The black-robed Emperor snickered coldly. The birth of any Emperor wasn''t an accident; they had to undergo an evolution of their soul and Intent.


    Weng~~ Jiang!


    The black-robed Emperor put his arms across his chest as a white armor made of lightning formed around his body. White snakes of lightning several hundred yards long extended from the armor and lunged at Zhao Feng. This move was both an offensive and defensive tactic that could stall the opponent. It was a good choice.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng revealed a mocking smile.


    Peng! Boom! Boom!


    The mountains and rivers he passed were turned into flat ground, and the white lightning snakes were shattered by the physical force and blazing flames.


    "What a powerful attack¡­!"


    The image of a Little World appeared behind the black-robed Emperor as he slightly panicked. He would occasionally retreat and attack. Although Zhao Feng was quickly approaching, the black-robed Emperor''s aim was just to stall for a couple breaths, and he would do that even if it meant heavier injuries for himself.


    However, it was at this moment that the unexpected happened.


    "Mental Energy Spike!"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye shot out an ice-cold purple spike into the black-robed Emperor''s soul.


    "Arghh!" The black-robed Emperor screamed as the condensed Mental Energy Spike gave off an undying and immortal aura. At this instant, the black-robed Emperor''s soul almost shattered from the chaotic barrage of the God Tribulation Lightning.


    Weng~~


    The aura of several hundred God Tribulation Lightning symbols within Zhao Feng''s purple Soul Sea lit up. The power of the God Tribulation Lightning he could utilize right now was approaching the amount he could use when he was pursuing the Emperor of Death.


    Hu~~ Boom~~~!


    In the next instant, the mini-giant that Zhao Feng had become smashed into the black-robed Emperor.


    "No~~~~!" The other Emperors who were approaching roared as they revealed unwilling expressions. However, at this moment, the black-robed Emperor''s soul almost crumbled as it was severely injured. He couldn''t fight back at all and was instantly killed by Zhao Feng.


    "That was the fifth," the calm voice sounded once more.


    Emperor. An Emperor had died. Both friend and foe alike were dead-silent, and waves crashed through the hearts of Ten Thousand Sacred Clan members. The Earth Spirit Hall Kings and Emperors felt cold as fear overtook their hearts.


    "Star a slaughter¡­? He¡­" Gu Chaozhi had a dead expression and didn''t even dare to take part in fighting with Zhao Feng.


    In the Divine Illusion Dimension, the other member of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo - Nan Gongsheng ¨C had been affected by the power of the Evil God and started a slaughter. That slaughter had been stopped by Zhao Feng, and now this mysterious leader of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was starting an emotionless massacre too. However, his opponents this time weren''t the young geniuses from before ¨C they were Kings and Emperors of the older generation.


    Shua!


    The Wings of Wind and Lightning behind Zhao Feng''s back flapped and left an afterimage behind as he easily threw off the approaching Emperors with overwhelming speed.


    "Brat, don''t run away~~~!" The golden-robed Emperor Zhang Xuandong and company missed him once again.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng appeared and was able to easily kill a normal King with his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Every time the winged youth moved, he was able to kill a Void God Realm expert. The number of Void God Realm experts from Earth Spirit Hall was slowly decreasing.


    The entire situation was controlled by Zhao Feng. Apart from the peak Emperor Zhang Xuandong, Zhao Feng would be able to kill any other King or Emperor here.


    In just the time it took to make tea, over half of the experts from Earth Spirit Hall had been killed by Zhao Feng. A total of sixteen Kings and two Emperors had been killed, while another Emperor had been injured.


    Zhao Feng could instantly kill normal Void God Realms with his eye-bloodline and his God Tribulation Lightning. The only reason that the severely-injured Emperor was able to survive at all was because he had a powerful life-saving secret technique.


    "Junior, stop~~~~!" The remaining Emperors led by Zhang Xuandong all had red eyes as they screamed. Their voice contained anger and some hints of begging.


    Emperor Zhang Xuandong gave the order for the remaining ten or so Kings and the injured Emperor to gather and form a protective barrier.


    At this moment in time, no one from Earth Spirit Hall was thinking about killing Zhao Feng anymore. They would feel lucky if they could just escape alive.


    "It doesn''t matter whether all of you are spread out or together; you still won''t be able to escape my pursuit."


    Zhao Feng floated in the air as the pupil of his left eye contracted.


    He had expended a lot of energy in the killing spree just now, but luckily, he had the lifestealing effect of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Zhao Feng then took out the Sky Locking Bow and locked onto several targets from Earth Spirit Hall with his eye-bloodline.


    If the members of Earth Spirit Hall were spread out, it would be easier for Zhao Feng to kill them. However, if they were gathered together, Zhao Feng could just use his Sky Locking Bow and unleash a barrage of long-range attacks against them. As long as he had a God Eye Mark on these people, Zhao Feng could kill them all before they managed to escape back to their sect.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re not thinking about really killing all of them, are you?" Emperor Ling Qiong and company from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan all took in cold breaths.


    The force from Earth Spirit Hall was extremely strong and could suppress an entire two-star power like the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. However, a force like that had been effortlessly massacred by Zhao Feng alone.


    "He definitely has the ability," Gu Chaozhi said in a trembling tone with a pale face.


    In his mind, Nan Gongsheng of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was extremely cruel and bloodthirsty while the other, Zhao Feng, was more mysterious and less bloodthirsty. However, it was only when the leader of this demonic duo was alone that Gu Chaozhi understood what the word "terrifying" meant.


    Zhao Feng''s face remained calm from the beginning, as if all of this had nothing to do with him. The mental pressure caused by this made all the remaining Kings and Emperors from Earth Spirit Hall fall into despair.

 880 In my Name

    Chapter 880 - In My Name


    In the air, the Void God Realm Kings and Emperors of Earth Spirit Hall all gathered together. However, none of them felt safe at all. They had angry, stunned, and fearful expressions. Everyone was dead-silent, and cold sweat started to appear on the foreheads of these remaining Kings and Emperors.


    Many of them were full of regret and despair. If time could go back to before Zhao Feng started his slaughter, they would definitely run as far away as they could and not become an enemy of this nightmare. However, now that Zhao Feng had already started the massacre, there was no chance for them at all even if they ran right now. No one doubted that Zhao Feng had the ability to kill them all.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t be rash. Killing these people doesn''t bring you or the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan any benefits¡­!" Emperor Ling Qiong and some of the other Ten Thousand Sacred Clan upper echelon members felt uneasy and started to sweat.


    No matter what, Earth Spirit Hall was a three-star superpower, and one of the requirements to become a three-star superpower was to have someone reach the Mystic Light Realm. The Kings and Emperors right now were just a portion of Earth Spirit Hall''s force.


    Zhao Feng held the Sky Locking Bow as his left eye locked onto the Earth Spirit Hall members with a calm expression, and the killing intent radiating from him didn''t fade at all. Zhao Feng wasn''t bloodthirsty like Nan Gongsheng, but when facing enemies that wanted to kill him and take all of his possessions, he wouldn''t be kind.


    "I''ve already killed half of them." Zhao Feng didn''t care about Emperor Ling Qiong''s words as his left eye started to become a cold purple.


    The three Emperors from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan felt helpless. From the beginning, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was completely dazed and just watched as Zhao Feng started to massacre the group from Earth Spirit Hall by himself.


    Within the clan, the expressions of those disciples that were familiar with Zhao Feng ¨C such as Kong Feiling, Huang Yunhu, Liu Tianfan, Senior Martial Brother Guang, and company ¨C changed dramatically. They felt like they were in a dream.


    "Tell me¡­ this isn''t real."


    "Am I dreaming?"


    Those that had once been enemies with Zhao Feng, such as Senior Martial Brother Guang, started to chatter.


    Those from Earth Spirit Hall fell into despair after hearing what Zhao Feng said. He had already killed half, so it wouldn''t make much of a difference if he killed the other half.


    "Can this really not be stopped?" The golden-robed Emperor Zhang Xuandong felt helpless. As a peak Emperor, he wasn''t scared of fighting against Zhao Feng head-on. The chances of defeating Zhao Feng weren''t high, but he was still a peak Emperor.


    The speed that Zhao Feng displayed was already at the top amongst Emperors, and Zhang Xuandong could do nothing against it. On top of that, most Emperors couldn''t block his eye-bloodline. However, the main problem was that Zhao Feng would definitely kill the other Kings and Emperors first before fighting against Zhang Xuandong.


    Back in the Cang Ocean, the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor could kill peak Emperors within ten breaths. Although Zhao Feng was still a bit away from his peak since his soul still wasn''t strong enough, he was pretty confident he could kill a normal peak Emperor within a hundred moves if he used his full strength.


    "He''s far too strong." Tie Litian took a deep breath. "The perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, a dominating Dao of Lightning bloodline, as well as a supreme eye-bloodline. If I can take him back to the Tie Family, he will definitely be someone that can change the destiny of the continent zone in the future."


    However, Tie Litian wasn''t confident he could persuade Zhao Feng to return to the Tie Family. It wouldn''t be a surprise if the Mystic Light Realm Grand Elder of the Tie Family had to personally come to invite Zhao Feng due to his terrifying strength and potential.


    Just as everyone was tensed up:


    Whoosh~~~~!


    A magnificent aura that surpassed normal Emperors appeared. The hearts of some peak Emperors shook. The power of Heaven and Earth instantly started to slow down.


    "Stop!" The voice of a powerful male boomed across the sky through the physical and mental dimensions.


    Everyone''s body started shaking.


    "That''s¡­!!?"


    Even someone as strong as Zhang Xuandong felt a big pressure. This aura had slightly touched the Mystic Light Realm.


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly. The aura of this newcomer was even slightly stronger than the Emperor of Death. If the owner of this aura came from Earth Spirit Hall, it would be extremely troublesome, but Zhao Feng also felt that this aura was familiar.


    "Great!" Emperor Zhang Xuandong revealed a look of joy, as if he recognized the newcomer.


    At the same time, several thousand miles away:


    "I hope that I''ll make it in time¡­!" A male in golden robes appeared, and he was surrounded in the providence of the lord dynasty, which ruled Heaven and Earth. Countless beings bowed instinctively wherever this male went.


    "It''s Duke Nanfeng." Zhao Feng''s left eye recognized the newcomer despite the distance.


    "The ruler of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone. No wonder his aura is so strong and contains the providence of the lord dynasty." Tie Litian understood.


    In terms of speed, Duke Nanfeng wasn''t much slower than Zhao Feng, so he quickly arrived at the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "Good." Duke Nanfeng let out a breath as he saw that Zhao Feng was alright.


    He came as soon as he heard that Zhao Feng was in danger and was being surrounded by Kings and Emperors of Earth Spirit Hall. After knowing this, he even stopped trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm and arrived as quickly as he could. After all, he owed Zhao Feng a favor and would feel uneasy if the latter died here.


    Besides, this was a good chance to repay the favor and perhaps recruit Zhao Feng as well.


    However, Duke Nanfeng felt that something was amiss when he arrived at the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Zhao Feng was unharmed, and he held the Sky Locking Bow as he faced those from Earth Spirit Hall with cold eyes. On the other hand, those from Earth Spirit Hall were full of fear and panic, and many of them were injured.


    These Kings and Emperors were all clustered together and still didn''t feel safe against the purple-haired youth. Duke Nanfeng could even faintly sense the remnant auras of some shattered Void God Realm souls.


    "Duke Nanfeng, you''ve come just in time. Quickly, save us!"


    "This bastard''s gone crazy and has killed half of our Void God Realm experts and wants to kill us all!"


    The Emperors of Earth Spirit Hall called out. Zhang Xuandong seemed to know Duke Nanfeng, and he was on relatively good terms with him.


    After hearing the cries of help from the Kings and Emperors of Earth Spirit Hall, Duke Nanfeng was dumbfounded for a moment. He felt like he had been choked.


    "You''re¡­ asking for help?" Duke Nanfeng''s face twitched as he looked over the Earth Spirit Hall cultivators, then at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was expressionless, but killing intent filled his eyes. It was obvious that he was the one that held the advantage.


    Those from Earth Spirit Hall were uneasy and fearful. They put all their hope onto Duke Nanfeng.


    "Duke Nanfeng, we''ve known each other for several hundred years. Help me block this crazy bastard and I''ll owe you a favor!" the golden-robed Emperor Zhang Xuandong begged. Although he and Duke Nanfeng weren''t super tight, they knew each other. There was only a limited number of peak Emperors, so they all knew each other.


    At this moment in time, everyone''s gaze landed on Duke Nanfeng.


    Duke Nanfeng was very important. He was the ruler of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, and his strength was greater than normal peak Emperors. On top of that, he had the providence of the lord dynasty. No one doubted that Duke Nanfeng had the ability and the right to block Zhao Feng.


    "Little Friend Zhao, we haven''t seen each other for a while and you''re already able to slay these Kings and Emperors from Earth Spirit Hall?" Duke Nanfeng looked at Zhao Feng with a bitter smile and weird expression.


    He had come because he wanted to save Zhao Feng, and instead, he witnessed a scene like this. Who was the one that needed saving?


    "Duke Nanfeng¡­ you two know each other?" The golden-robed Emperor Zhang Xuandong and company were dazed. Some of them even almost started to cry.


    They had fought for a while, and now they felt like everything was in vain. This result made Zhang Xuandong and company feel sick.


    "Duke is probably aware that they came to kill me, so I started a massacre. I even warned them before I attacked," Zhao Feng put away the Sky Locking Bow and said.


    Hearing that, the experts of Earth Spirit Hall were speechless and full of regret. Zhao Feng had indeed told them that he didn''t want to start a slaughter beforehand, but they only laughed at him in disdain.


    "Little Friend Zhao, can you give me some face and let them off? I''ll invite you to the palace afterward," Duke Nanfeng spoke with a bitter expression.


    "Yes, but they have to promise that they won''t trouble the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan again or be my enemy." Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    He wasn''t bloodthirsty, and killing half of them already established his power. Besides, Duke Nanfeng was the ruler of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, so some face should be given to him.


    Hearing that, those from Earth Spirit Hall let out a long breath.


    "I can only promise that I will follow that, but I can''t represent the entire Earth Spirit Hall," the golden-robed Emperor Zhang Xuandong replied solemnly. Although he was a peak Emperor, he didn''t have complete control in Earth Spirit Hall.


    Zhao Feng knew that as well. He just wanted the people present to promise.


    Duke Nanfeng and the experts of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan were all witnesses.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Kings and Emperors of Earth Spirit Hall retreated with regretful expressions and unwillingness in their hearts.


    "Although we can''t do anything against Zhao Feng since we promised not to be his enemy, the Grand Elder at the Mystic Light Realm will be able to easily deal with a measly King when he comes out of seclusion."


    Many of the survivors from Earth Spirit Hall were full of anger and hatred.


    The Grand Elder definitely won''t forgive Zhao Feng for killing so many Kings and Emperors, Gu Chaozhi murmured in his heart. He didn''t know why, but every time he thought of that youth, he felt uneasy and scared.


    In the air above the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan:


    "It''s about time to leave." Zhao Feng''s tall golden-blue body floated in the air and looked down at the new and the familiar faces.


    Emperor Ling Qiong and company weren''t surprised. They instead let out a long breath of relief. The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan wouldn''t be able to contain a dragon like Zhao Feng. Besides, a measly two-star power wouldn''t be enough to protect Zhao Feng after the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had offended so many forces.


    "The Zhao Feng from the past is gone. In my name ¨C I am Zhao Feng, the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor of the Cang Ocean!" A bright voice resounded across Heaven and Earth.

 881 Resigning from the Clan

    Chapter 881 - Resigning from the Clan


    "The Zhao Feng from the past is gone. In my name ¨C I am Zhao Feng, the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor of the Cang Ocean!"


    The voice resounded across Heaven and Earth and through the soul-dimension. All the intelligent beings ¨C including those that weren''t human ¨C within several thousand miles could understand what this meant.


    Hearing this voice, the experts present like Emperor Ling Qiong, King Lu Yun, Duke Nanfeng, and Tie Litian shook.


    Zhao Feng''s voice was an announcement to declare the true him. The original "Zhao Feng" was gone, and although Zhao Feng had inherited his body, they were two different people. Zhao Feng didn''t want to live under someone else''s identity. Besides, his true identity was close to being exposed anyway, so he wouldn''t be able to hide it much longer even if he wanted to.


    "So that''s how it is." The elders and disciples familiar with Zhao Feng all understood and sighed in their hearts as complex expressions appeared on their faces. Thinking about it, it was obviously true. How could there be such a prodigy in the world that he was able to break through from the True Spirit Realm and become a King that could slay Emperors within a year?


    "This resolves a lot of suspicions." Duke Nanfeng understood. In the world of cultivation, it wasn''t very rare or weird for those that had reached the Void God Realm to steal a body and re-cultivate.


    Before, when Zhao Feng was getting close with Princess Yuqing and healing the Cloud Silk Saint Butterfly, Duke Nanfeng had sent people to find about his past, and the result showed that Zhao Feng''s past was full of suspicious points. Now that Zhao Feng''s true identity came to light, everything made sense.


    "This¡­ what''s going on?" Tie Litian''s expression changed; he was caught off guard by this sudden turn.


    Shua!


    Tie Litian waved his hand, and an old figure appeared from his Little World. It was Grandfather Zhao.


    "That is indeed the case." Grandfather Zhao smiled bitterly with a complex expression: "Feng''er was killed by the Yin Family, and an expert took over his body."


    "Then the Blood Devil Sun bloodline¡­?" A light flashed through Tie Litian''s eyes. What he worried about most was the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. He didn''t really care about the original Zhao Feng''s life or death.


    "The Blood Devil Sun bloodline appeared only after that expert took over," Grandfather Zhao replied honestly. Although the original Zhao Feng was somewhat talented, he didn''t have such a powerful bloodline until Zhao Feng took over the body.


    Hearing that, Tie Litian couldn''t help but start to think. He was suspicious that something happened after Zhao Feng took over that made the hidden bloodline awaken. There could even be the possibility that Zhao Feng himself had some sort of secret technique that could awaken and evolve bloodlines.


    In reality, most of the beings in the world had bloodlines, but some may be extremely faint or hidden. It was very likely that they wouldn''t awaken.


    "This Zhao Feng was definitely an expert before. He was at least a peak Emperor or even a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord before."


    Tie Litian took in a deep breath. The situation had now become complex; since the original Zhao Feng''s body was taken over by someone else, then he obviously didn''t have any true feelings toward the Yunling Zhao Family or the Tie Family. This meant that getting him to return to the Tie Family would be extremely difficult.


    "Senior Martial Brother Guang Tian." Zhao Feng stood proudly in the air as he locked onto a cowering figure in the crowd below.


    "Arghh!" Senior Martial Brother Guang Tian''s soul almost flew away in fear, and he knelt down on the ground.


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly as Magnificent Power covered the figure below.


    "My Lord, spare me. Emperor Zhao, please¡­" Senior Martial Brother Guang Tian didn''t even fight back; he simply allowed the power to take him into the air.


    No one from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan dared to stop him, including Guang Tian''s master, King Liu Qiong. The latter''s expression changed, but he didn''t dare to do anything.


    "The original Zhao Feng died because of you and the Yin Family. As the new owner of this body, I definitely won''t let you off." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    Since the truth had already unfolded, the time was ripe. Zhao Feng didn''t mind solving everything at once.


    Senior Martial Brother Guang Tian''s face went pale-white, and he didn''t even have the ability to lie or argue under Zhao Feng''s Intent.


    "Die."


    With a thought, Zhao Feng crushed Senior Martial Brother Guang Tian into pieces with the power of Heaven and Earth.


    Magnificent Power was formed from the power of Heaven and Earth. Upon reaching the Emperor level, the soul would evolve, and one would be able to summon more Magnificent Power. As for those at the Mystic Light Realm, they had reached an incredible level. Apparently, even their True Yuan could be formed from the power of Heaven and Earth. At that level, any thought or action from them could suppress mortals, and it was almost in the domain of Gods.


    Of course, Zhao Feng only knew a little bit about such a thing. Although he had met the Sacred Lord-level Bee Empress in Xie Yang Palace, its entire aim in life was to breed, so it didn''t have very strong battle-power. It had the raw power, but it didn''t really know how to use it.


    Boom!


    Under the shaking Magnificent Power, Senior Martial Brother Guang Tian was killed.


    All those below Kings were ants. Even in the massive continent zone, Void God Realm Kings were unreachable existences for billions and billions of cultivators. In normal places, there weren''t many Kings, but as Zhao Feng became stronger, the people he would meet would also be stronger.


    Plop! Plop!


    Some of the disciples such as Huang Yunhu, Wang Yuan, and company from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan suddenly knelt down.


    "Lord Zhao, please forgive us."


    These people had enmities with Zhao Feng in the past and were now begging for forgiveness.


    No one from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was able to stop Zhao Feng. Putting aside the normal disciples, Zhao Feng could even kill Kings if he wanted to. When Zhao Feng killed Senior Martial Brother Guang just now, the latter''s own master King Liu Qiong didn''t even dare to say anything or stop him. Although Senior Martial Brother Guang was just an in-name disciple to him, that was still enough to see how strong Zhao Feng was.


    "Since the original Zhao Feng has passed away, I will now resign from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan," an emotionless voice resounded across the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother about Huang Yunhu and company. The enmity from before was just a small fight between disciples, so he didn''t take it to heart.


    "Resigning from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan?"


    The hearts of the disciples, Kings, and Emperors all shook. One had to say that it would be a big blow to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan if such an expert left the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    However, only a small number of people were able to guess what Zhao Feng was trying to do. The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had offended too many forces in the Divine Illusion Dimension, and the small Ten Thousand Sacred Clan wouldn''t be able to handle the heat. Although it seemed like Zhao Feng was acting emotionlessly, he was actually cutting ties with the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan in the hopes that no one would come after them.


    "This Zhao Feng certainly has his principles¡­ but that title of Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor is slightly familiar¡­." Duke Nanfeng had a praising expression as he started to think.


    The Cang Ocean was pretty far away from the continent zone, and there was also the Nanlin Sea between the two. The fame of the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor had only appeared in the Cang Ocean for a couple years, so only a small portion of people in the Nanlin Sea knew the title. Not many around the Tianfeng Great Island Zone knew about it, other than some information agencies.


    "Zhao Feng, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan won''t force you to stay, but no matter what you accomplish in the future, you were once a member here." The Emperor Projection of Old Monster Xu sighed in the air.


    Old Monster Xu was once a peak Emperor of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, but he failed to breakthrough to the Mystic Light Realm and was reaching the end of his lifespan. What he was trying to convey was that he hoped Zhao Feng would owe them a favor.


    With Zhao Feng''s potential, his future was immeasurable. If Zhao Feng was able to reach even-higher levels in the future, Old Monster Xu hoped that Zhao Feng would take care of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "Spatial Movement." Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly glittered with a ripple of water as it locked onto a certain forbidden place in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    Hmm? In the forbidden place sat an elder, who suddenly saw a little jade bottle in front of him.


    This old figure was Old Monster Xu of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    He instinctively grabbed the little jade bottle and saw a half-frozen, multi-colored honey within it.


    "You''ll reach the end of your lifespan unless you manage to breakthrough to the Mystic Light Realm. I''m giving this Hundred Origin Sacred Honey to you because I was once a member of this clan," a faint voice sounded next to Old Monster Xu''s ears.


    "Hundred Origin Sacred Honey!" Old Monster Xu''s body suddenly shook as he was filled with joy.


    "Of course, this isn''t just because I was once a member of the clan. When you break through, you will allow me to give you three tasks in the future," Zhao Feng''s voice sounded once more.


    "No problem. If I''m able to break through, so what if I do ten or even thirty tasks for you in the future?" Old Monster Xu suppressed the excitement in his heart.


    Without even guessing, he knew that the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey definitely came from the Divine Illusion Dimension. There was almost no chance of such a honey forming in the environment of the continent zone.


    "It''s fine as long as you keep this promise in your heart." Zhao Feng''s voice faded away from Old Monster Xu''s ears.


    When one reached Zhao Feng''s or Old Monster Xu''s level, any promise would have the same effect as a heart demon if it was broken. Furthermore, Old Monster Xu had made this promise when he was coming to the end of his life.


    In the air above the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, Zhao Feng''s figure rose higher and higher, and he said goodbye to those from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    From this moment onward, he officially resigned from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Adding on the fact that he had taken over this body, the pursuit of the other forces wouldn''t come after the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    On the other side, Duke Nanfeng and Tie Litian couldn''t help but be slightly expectant. Where would Zhao Feng go after leaving the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan?


    Duke Nanfeng was full of smiles and was just about to speak.


    Sou!


    A bright red blazing figure suddenly shot forward and arrived before Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, please listen." Tie Litian took a deep breath and spoke before Duke Nanfeng.

 882 Zhao Feng’s directions

    Chapter 882 - Zhao Feng''s Direction


    "Zhao Feng, please listen," Tie Litian quickly said, causing Duke Nanfeng to pause. Although the latter was slightly unhappy, he didn''t display it.


    Duke Nanfeng knew this Emperor from the Tie Family. The Tie Family was based in the northwestern region of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, and they were main force that defended against the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty. The family was praised even by the Sacred Emperor.


    "May I ask what you have to say?" Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed as he inspected Tie Litian.


    Before this, he was focused on breaking through to the Void God Realm, so he didn''t really pay much attention to Tie Litian. Zhao Feng didn''t expect him to be so patient that he was still waiting for him around the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "Zhao Feng, or whoever you really are, the origin of the bloodline you have comes from the Tie Family, and your mother also lives. This blood tie is unable to be severed," Tie Litian said in a honest tone.


    Bloodline of the Tie Family? Mother?


    Hearing that, Duke Nanfeng was filled with shock. Everything just become more complex. He originally thought that Zhao Feng had revived by taking over this body, which was true. However, the bloodline in this body wasn''t simple. The Tie Family was one of the most powerful even amongst the Eight Big Families, and even the Great Gan Imperials needed to give them some face.


    The bloodline and battle-power of those from the Tie Family were both amongst the top in the Eight Big Families, and according to what Duke Nanfeng knew, the Tie Family was extremely strict with their bloodline. Under normal situations, if there was someone else with their bloodline, they would be punished.


    "Emperor Zhao, just think of this as Feng''er''s wish when he was alive. He always thought that his parents had died," Grandfather Zhao bowed and said in a trembling tone.


    Zhao Feng glanced at Tie Litian; "You want me to join the Tie Family?"


    "That''s right."


    Tie Litian was extremely excited. That was precisely what he wanted.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve offended Nine Darkness Palace and a bunch of other superpowers. Normal forces won''t be able to protect you, but if you join the Tie Family, not many forces will dare to touch you." Tie Litian''s voice was confident.


    The Tie Family was known in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty for being extremely forceful, and they were comparable to a peak three-star power. They weren''t scared of even fighting a four-star power. If Zhao Feng joined the Tie Family, he would indeed be protected.


    "Thank you for your goodwill, but I already know where I''m heading, so I can''t join the Tie Family." Zhao Feng faintly shook his head without hesitation.


    Back at the True Martial Sacred Land, Zhao Feng told his master Duanmu Qing and Zhao Yufei that he would go to the Duanmu Family after confirming whether his fianc¨¦e Liu Qinxin was dead or alive.


    Duanmu Qing, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit, and Zhao Yufei all wanted to revive the Duanmu Family, and Zhao Feng planned to help them. After all, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit and Duanmu Qing had helped Zhao Feng a lot in the past.


    "You¡­" Tie Litian was extremely disappointed and sad, but he couldn''t do anything to Zhao Feng or Duke Nanfeng.


    Tie Litian and Duke Nanfeng were both surprised. Zhao Feng actually knew where he was heading already?


    Duke Nanfeng thought to himself that he would definitely find out everything about the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor''s identity. Although the Cang Ocean was a bit far from the lord dynasty, there were definitely some information agencies that would know about the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor.


    "I''m sorry." Zhao Feng paused for a moment with sympathy. "I''m not the original Zhao Feng, so all ties from the past will be cut here."


    The whole reason he did the "In my name" speech was to wipe away everything from the original Zhao Feng.


    "Cut ties?" Watching Zhao Feng and Duke Nanfeng leave, Tie Litian shook his head and smiled as he murmured, "Zhao Feng, your thinking is far too simple. The families of the continent zone are extremely strict with their bloodlines. You really think the Tie Family will let their strongest bloodline just go around unchecked?"


    Indeed, Zhao Feng had thought about this situation far too simply. Every family in the lord dynasty, including the Eight Big Families and the imperials, placed great importance on their bloodlines.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Duke Nanfeng flew side by side as they left the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    Before they left, Zhao Feng silently waved his armguard and left a spatial mark near the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Since he had the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng could instantly arrive here again in the future if he was strong enough.


    "Zhao Feng, can you please help me look after the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly?" Duke Nanfeng was full of smiles.


    Earlier, Zhao Feng had received a message from Duke Nanfeng and agreed to go to his palace.


    Half a month earlier, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had finally recovered under the massive use of resources. Duke Nanfeng was already feeling impatient and was going to use part of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s Origin Pollen to help him break through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    The Origin Pollen of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was similar to the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey in that it was extremely effective in allowing one''s soul and body to become one. This pollen was also extremely difficult to obtain; each Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly could only do it once or twice in their life.


    "It''s nothing." Zhao Feng smiled faintly. At this moment, he finally understood why Duke Nanfeng placed so much importance on the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and it had unique supportive abilities. The Cloud Saint Silk that shot out of its mouth was one of the best materials to craft armor; the Cloud Silk Robes that Nan Gongsheng had obtained in the Divine Illusion Dimension was made from this material.


    "Zhao Feng, I need to tell you some things," Duke Nanfeng said on the way back.


    "Duke, please speak." Zhao Feng was surprised.


    "You''ve killed a lot of Kings and Emperors of Earth Spirit Hall. Being a three-star power, they have Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords, and they won''t easily let you go," Duke Nanfeng warned in a solemn tone.


    Three-star powers were extremely strong even in the lord dynasty, and they could affect the destiny of a big area. After all, there were far too few four-star forces. They didn''t even number more than the number of fingers on a hand.


    "I understand." Zhao Feng''s heart faintly shook, but he was prepared for this.


    Zhao Feng knew how strong a three-star power was because he had stayed in the True Mystic Sacred Clan before. However, no matter how strong he was, Zhao Feng was only at the Void God Realm.


    Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords were usually in seclusion, and they generally weren''t very interested in what happened in the world. However, whenever a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord did interfere in something, they did so in a powerful manner. For three-star forces, Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords would only deal with the problems that peak Emperors couldn''t.


    Back in the day, the Wind Lightning Emperor and the Pirate Emperor both died due to the pursuit of Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords. Zhao Feng sighed in his heart.


    The Wind Lightning Emperor was a peak Emperor, and he was famous for being the fastest Emperor. The Pirate Emperor was known for being a Mechanisms Master who had found a Heaven''s Legacy city, and he was extremely rich. These two Emperors were both legends of an era, but they were still killed by Mystic Light Realm Sacred lords. From this, one could see that Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords were unrivalled in the world.


    Even Demigods were only in the Mystic Light Realm. They were just closer to the realm of Gods than normal Sacred Lords.


    "But you can relax as long as you stay at my palace because even normal three-star forces won''t dare to trouble you there," Duke Nanfeng said with a smile.


    He had a noble status, and he was related to the imperials of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Furthermore, Duke Nanfeng himself was extremely strong, and he had taken half a step into the Mystic Light Realm.


    This time, Duke Nanfeng was going to use the Origin Pollen of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly to attempt a breakthrough to the Mystic Light Realm, and he needed Zhao Feng to look after the weak Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    "Then I''ll stay at the Duke''s Palace for a while," Zhao Feng decided.


    Going to the Duanmu Family immediately wasn''t the best choice. Zhao Feng had heard about what was happening with the Duanmu Family; it was one of the families that was going downhill, and if they fell one step further, the Duanmu Family might be excluded from being one of the Eight Big Families. Zhao Feng was scared that joining the Duanmu Family right now would only bring danger to them.


    An hour later, Zhao Feng and Duke Nanfeng reached the Duke''s Palace.


    "Greetings, Duke."


    Greetings sounded as the two walked together. Zhao Feng was accustomed to this.


    Duke Nanfeng soon led Zhao Feng to a hidden secret hall and took out a transparent bottle. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was like a piece of jade that lay quietly in the bottle. Its aura was extremely weak, and it occasionally fluttered its half-transparent wings as it slept.


    Zhao Feng inspected it and saw that the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was extremely weak, just below that of last time.


    Miao miao!


    Zhao Feng waved his armguard, and a tiny silver-gray cat appeared next to the bottle.


    Miao! Ding! Ding!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws toward the bottle.


    Hu~~ Pa!


    The chubby Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly shook slightly as it opened its green eyes. The terrifying aura of the ancient era appeared, and it made the bloodlines of countless beings within a hundred miles shake.


    Even Zhao Feng felt pressured. Once the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly recovered to its peak, its battle-power would be extremely close to the Mystic Light Realm. It could be said that this Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was Duke Nanfeng''s left and right arm all by itself.


    No wonder Duke Nanfeng wanted it to recover so quickly. Once Duke Nanfeng became a Sacred Lord and had the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly to support him, his strength would increase by several times. He would have a lot of power in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "If my Lord is okay with it, you can leave the Saint Butterfly to me for now," Zhao Feng said.


    "Okay." Duke Nanfeng gave Zhao Feng a deep glance.


    Under normal circumstances, he wouldn''t dare to give the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly to someone else, but this youth was an exception. He seemed to have some sort of charm that made others believe in him.


    "Thank you for believing in me." Zhao Feng faintly smiled as he put the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly and the little thieving cat into the Misty Spatial World.


    Zhao Feng gave the task of healing and looking after the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly to the little thieving cat.


    Later that day, in an underground palace where Duke Nanfeng was in seclusion.


    "Reporting to my Lord, we''ve found news regarding the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor of the Cang Ocean."


    A King covered in black half-knelt on the ground. His eyes were full of shock, and his tone was unusual.

 883 Fame of the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor

    Chapter 883 - Fame of the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor


    Far away, in the central regions of the continent, the Great Gan Imperials were surrounded in magnificent buildings and the providence of the lord dynasty.


    In a side hall within a palace:


    Ceng! Shua!


    A bulky youth with thick eyebrows rushed into the side hall with urgency.


    "Luo Zun, what other news is there?" The Eighth Prince was sitting down, and the undulation of True Yuan coming from him had reached the level of a Peak-tier King.


    It had been two months since the end of the Divine Illusion Dimension. In Xie Yang Palace, the combination of the three princes had managed to obtain many treasures; they were also one of the biggest winners.


    "Eighth Prince, the Imperial Sky Net has received news that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon has indeed entered the continent zone, but the Demigods from the Grand Imperial Hall and Sky Suspension Palace are teaming up to try to seal it," Luo Zun said.


    This news would cause chaos if the outside world knew of it.


    "If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; we don''t need to worry about the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. How''s the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo doing?"


    The Eighth Prince had a calm expression. The Black Serpent Dragon and Demigods were too far away for him right now. He would be uneasy around and scared of the Black Serpent Dragon in Xie Yang Palace, but there were experts in the continent zone that would take care of the Black Serpent Dragon.


    On the other hand, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was the biggest winner in Xie Yang Palace, and they were a lot closer to his level.


    "We''ve found out some news regarding the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo." Luo Zun took a deep breath. He wasn''t just the Eighth Prince''s right-hand man, they were also great friends.


    "Oh?" The Eighth Prince revealed a look of interest.


    The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was extremely strong, and Zhao Feng in particular was extremely mysterious. Even the Eight Prince couldn''t see through him.


    "Firstly, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng both come from a three-star power from the True Martial Sacred Land of the Cang Ocean ¨C the Mystic True Sacred Clan." Luo Zun paused for a moment.


    Cang Ocean¡­ True Martial Sacred Land? The Eighth Prince''s eyebrows furrowed. The Great Gan Imperials had less control over those kinds of territories than the past. Right now, the Great Gan Imperials'' biggest concern was the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty in the northwestern region. They still weren''t able to deal with them. In addition, any three-star power in the world wasn''t to be easily offended.


    "Nan Gongsheng is the Mystic True Sacred Clan''s head disciple, and Zhao Feng is the disciple of Duanmu Qing from the Duanmu Family," Luo Zun continued.


    "That''s nothing to be surprised about. It''s understandable that those two are disciples of Emperors," the Eighth Prince said.


    "No." Luo Zun quickly shook his head. "The important thing is that Zhao Feng is someone known as the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor. He''s famous all across the Cang Ocean, but his fame hasn''t spread to the continent zone. However, he had an archenemy that I believe Eighth Prince knows of ¨C the Emperor of Death."


    The Emperor of Death? The Eighth Prince''s expression changed as he thought of something, as if remembering some miracles performed by the Emperor of Death.


    "The Emperor of Death who has the Eye of Death? He once attacked the continent zone several thousand years ago and created a storm of blood. Many Emperors, including peak Emperors, were defeated by him¡­." The Eighth Prince''s expression started to become solemn.


    Under normal situations, Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords didn''t usually come out. One could imagine how fierce the Emperor of Death was back then.


    "Such an existence is the archenemy of this Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor, Zhao Feng?" The Eighth Prince could never have imagined that this youth had hidden himself so deeply.


    "Was. The Emperor of Death was killed by the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor," Luo Zun added.


    Sii!


    The Eighth Prince took in a cold breath. Didn''t that mean that the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor at his peak was unrivalled below the Mystic Light Realm and even had the possibility of threatening Sacred Lords?


    "So, our opponent was that strong? Looks like the power we have right now isn''t enough to threaten the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo." The Eighth Prince sighed after a while.


    Peak Emperors stood at the top in the lord dynasty. Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords weren''t allowed to take action very easily as it would disrupt the balance.


    Back in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, in the underground palace of the Duke''s Palace:


    "The Emperor of Death''s era was ended by the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor. Zhao Feng, it looks like your history isn''t simple." Duke Nanfeng let out a long breath as shock filled his face.


    Duke Nanfeng knew a bit about the Emperor of Death. He hadn''t been born in that era, but he had heard some of the elders talk about him.


    Duke Nanfeng started to think and suddenly remembered something.


    "That''s right, wasn''t there another powerful eye-bloodline that appeared alongside the Emperor of Death several thousand years ago?" Duke Nanfeng asked.


    "Replying to my Lord," the King in black said respectfully, "the other is the Eye of Samsara."


    "That''s right, it''s the Eye of Samsara. Back when the Emperor of Death attacked the continent zone, it raised the interest of the Eye of Samsara''s owner, but at the end, the Emperor of Death retreated back to the Cang Ocean."


    Duke Nanfeng remembered part of the legend. It could be said that it was a clash between the Eye of Samsara and the Eye of Death. No one knew what ultimately happened, but ever since then, the Emperor of Death had retreated back to the Cang Ocean and never appeared in the continent zone again. It was still a mystery whether the Eye of Samsara''s owner was still in the continent zone or not.


    "Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor?" Duke Nanfeng couldn''t help but murmur. "Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline is also extremely strong and mysterious. If he''s able to defeat the Emperor of Death and the Eye of Death, could he also be a descendant of one of the God Eyes?"


    The Eight Great God Eyes were the peak of eye-bloodlines, and they were known as the great Ancestor Eyes. Any descendant of the Eight Great God Eyes would have an extremely powerful eye-bloodline.


    Duke Nanfeng couldn''t help but look forward to the future. Would Zhao Feng''s existence raise the interest of the Eye of Samsara''s owner and make the latter appear once more?


    The next day, within an elegant room in the Duke''s Palace:


    "Big Brother Zhao, you didn''t come find me to play even though you''re here in the Duke''s Palace¡­." A pretty girl pouted and pulled Zhao Feng''s sleeve.


    Zhao Feng sat down and couldn''t help but shake his head with a bitter smile as he looked at Princess Yuqing in front of him.


    Princess Yuqing admired and slightly had feelings for this mysterious beast tamer.


    "Big Brother Zhao, what happened in the Divine Illusion Dimension? My father didn''t even let me go in and play."


    "Oh yeah, I heard that my father let you take care of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. It''s rare to see father trust someone so much¡­."


    Princess Yuqing chattered continuously.


    A voice appeared out of nowhere at this moment:


    "Yuqing, don''t be rude."


    Duke Nanfeng appeared alongside a surge of powerful force and providence


    Princess Yuqing jumped up in fright. Her father loved her a lot and rarely talked to her in such a tone.


    "Zhao Feng, Yuqing''s just a little kid. I hope she hasn''t disturbed you." Duke Nanfeng smiled faintly, but he was sweating in his mind. Thinking about how the powerful Emperor of Death was killed by Zhao Feng, he was a lot more respectful and warier of this youth.


    "Yuqing''s just lively, there''s no need to blame her." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile. He could feel that Duke Nanfeng was treating him a bit differently from before.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll be entering a life-and-death seclusion to try to break through to the Mystic Light Realm. I hope you can take care of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly during the next couple of months and help the palace if there''s any danger," Duke Nanfeng said in a solemn tone.


    In reality, Duke Nanfeng had also invited several other Emperors since he knew he was going to be in seclusion. There was even a peak Emperor in the group, and all of them were trustworthy, but Duke Nanfeng hoped to invite Zhao Feng as well since he suddenly remembered his identity of the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor.


    "Since I''m staying in the palace, I will obviously have some responsibilities." Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Normal forces wouldn''t dare to attack him if he stayed in the Duke''s Palace. To a certain degree, it could be said that he had the protection of the Duke''s Palace, so there was nothing wrong with helping out in return.


    Duke Nanfeng then introduced Zhao Feng to some of the other Emperors within the palace, but since these Emperors didn''t know about Zhao Feng''s history, they didn''t really take it to heart.


    "Yuqing, I know that you like Zhao Feng, but the two of you can''t be together," Duke Nanfeng said in a strict tone.


    Princess Yuqing cried and went to tell her mother, but she got the same reply. It was usual for her to catch feelings and admire others at this age.


    Several days later, Duke Nanfeng had made all his preparations and was about to enter life-and-death seclusion.


    Zhao Feng noticed that the Duke''s Palace had stopped interacting with the outside world, and they were extremely serious. Apparently, Princess Yuqing had been confined, and Zhao Feng could peacefully do what he wanted.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the Misty Spatial World.


    The little thieving cat had organized everything nicely in the Misty Spatial World, and most of the treasures from the Divine Illusion Dimension were planted here.


    Zhao Feng first went to check on the Five Poison Distinct Bees. In the past two months, these Five Poison Distinct Bees were becoming a lot stronger due to the large numbers of flowers.


    Of the Five Poison Distinct Bees that Zhao Feng had enslaved, three of them were Bee Kings, and a hundred were elite bees. The remaining several hundred were all at least at the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm.


    Now, one of the Bee Kings had become a Bee Emperor. The remaining elite bees were all at least comparable to half-step Kings, and a bit more than a dozen had become Bee Kings.


    One had to know that the Five Poison Distinct Bees also had the ability to kill those stronger than themselves with a special suicidal attack. The suicidal attack of a Bee King could very likely take down an Emperor.


    As for the normal bees, half of them had become elite venomous bees.


    "Very good. All of the bees will become elites within half a year, and there will also be more Bee Kings and Emperors."


    Zhao Feng was very satisfied.


    It was because he had a large amount of resources that he was able to raise the strength of the venomous bees within a short amount of time. If he was willing, Zhao Feng could even create an entire force that belonged to himself. It all depended on whether or not he was willing to invest the time and resources.


    After returning from the Divine Illusion Dimension, Zhao Feng could improve far too many possible aspects.

 884 Recovering Strength

    Chapter 884 - Recovering Strength


    Within the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng went to see the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly after making sure that the Five Poison Distinct Bees were doing okay.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was usually the size of a thumb when not in combat mode. It was even smaller than the little thieving cat ¨C similar to the Five Poison Distinct Bees.


    However, Zhao Feng didn''t dare to underestimate it. When it recovered to its peak strength, the battle-power and supportive abilities of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly were enough to even trouble Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    At this moment, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had only just entered the Misty Spatial World and was very weak, but it was on good terms with the little thieving cat. The little thieving cat seemed to have a unique ability that allowed it to get close to and communicate with most species, including those with a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was no different; it would occasionally open its green eyes and communicate with the little thieving cat.


    Zhao Feng had his own plans on how to recover the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. The fluids from the Ancient Dream Realm seemed to have a very good effect on those with Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines. Apart from that, Zhao Feng was going to use some other powerful life-related materials such as the pollen collected by the Five Poison Distinct Bees or the honey they made, as well as some Hundred Origin Fruit Juice.


    Zhao Feng didn''t want to give it any Hundred Origin Sacred Honey; even he hadn''t used it yet.


    If I gave the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly a serving of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, it might be able to reach the Mystic Light Realm right away. At that time, Duke Nanfeng would be almost able to completely look down on the entire lord dynasty¡­.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled, but he didn''t do that because; firstly, that easily exceeded the value of what Duke Nanfeng was giving him, and secondly, he had only met Duke Nanfeng recently and hadn''t reached the stage where he completely trusted him yet.


    The situation of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty was extremely complex. It was hard to say whether Zhao Feng and Duke Nanfeng were going to be enemies or friends in the future, so Zhao Feng just wanted to uphold his promise and make the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly recover its strength a little quicker.


    As long as Duke Nanfeng was able to break through to the Mystic Light Realm and have a recovered Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, he would definitely have a spot in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    An hour later, in an elegant room of the Duke''s Palace, Zhao Feng took back his consciousness and started to cultivate quietly.


    Because his Sacred Lightning Body and Wind Lightning Technique had broken through not long ago, Zhao Feng needed to consolidate them a bit. Furthermore, the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique contained some decent battle techniques that Zhao Feng hadn''t learned yet.


    Increasing cultivation and physical force was just the foundation. In order to unleash one''s true potential, secret battle techniques were not to be lacking either.


    After reaching the fifth level of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng could learn the Sacred Lightning Force Punch, Undying Sacred Lightning Body, Sacred Lightning Protection, and various other abilities.


    Sacred Lightning Force Punch was an offensive skill that could be cultivated when one reached the fourth level of the Sacred Lightning Body. However, Zhao Feng didn''t have enough time in the Divine Illusion Dimension, so he didn''t have time to learn it.


    Undying Sacred Lightning Body was when the Sacred Lightning Body was trained to a certain level and gained an undying quality. It required years of cultivation and took a long time to cultivate.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a similar undying quality, so it could ignore normal attacks. Those with strong undying bodies would usually be sealed since it was too hard to kill them outright.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, when he reached the 6th level of the Sacred Lightning Body, he could start to learn how to revive from blood. Unfortunately, Zhao Feng didn''t actually have the technique to learn from like the Demigod Kun Yun did.


    Sacred Lightning Protection was a protective skill formed by combining the Wind Lightning Technique and the Sacred Lightning Body. Its defense was extremely strong, and it was extremely resilient against all types of Yuan Qi.


    Zhao Feng estimated that, if he managed to cultivate the Sacred Lightning Protection, he would be able to ignore all attacks from anyone below the Mystic Light Realm, and even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords would be unable to kill him within a short amount of time.


    "I''ll cultivate the Sacred Lightning Force Punch and Sacred Lightning Protection first to increase my offense and defense. The Undying Sacred Lightning Body can''t be cultivated right away anyway¡­." Zhao Feng decided.


    Of course, apart from those three skills, there were many more, and Zhao Feng decided to focus on the battle techniques that were related to the Sacred Lightning Body. As for the Wind Lightning Technique, Zhao Feng had cultivated the Wind Lightning Inheritance to a very high level in his previous life, so he didn''t need to spend too much time on Wind Lightning battle skills.


    In the blink of an eye, the majority of a month passed, and Zhao Feng finally managed to cultivate the Sacred Lightning Force Punch and the Sacred Lightning Protection technique.


    Sacred Lightning Protection was relatively easier since it utilized the power of Wind Lightning to form a strong barrier of lightning.


    Weng~~


    An ancient barrier of lightning suddenly expanded around Zhao Feng with a flash and hum of lightning. This barrier wasn''t formed from normal True Yuan; it fused with the dominating force of the Sacred Lightning Body, and it could even reflect attacks. Normal Void God Realms would be severely injured if they attacked Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Protection and cough out blood.


    "The defense is extremely strong, but it can''t be easily used."


    Zhao Feng was covered by a layer of lightning that seemed like a materialized layer of armor that protected every angle.


    Zhao Feng then started to practice the Sacred Lightning Force Punch.


    In reality, Zhao Feng had already seen the child Demigod use his version of this technique before, and the latter had used it with extremely profound Intent. Although Zhao Feng''s Intent was pretty profound, there was still a difference between him and a Demigod. Therefore, he kept on practicing this technique as he circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique in his mind.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye specialized in analyzing and learning.


    Zhao Feng calmly cultivated in the Duke''s Palace, and his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique allowed him to multi-task.


    Zhao Feng spent another month on battle techniques. He then focused on his cultivation level and his soul.


    A dark head floated near the edge of his purple Soul Sea in the dimension of his left eye. It occasionally glittered with wisps of God Tribulation Lightning.


    This God Tribulation head was acquired during his previous life, and now that Zhao Feng''s Emperor Intent had mostly recovered, he could start to absorb the Tribulation Lightning within it again.


    Unknowingly, the aura of the Tribulation Lightning within the head was starting to decrease.


    I''ve already absorbed quite a bit of the Tribulation Lightning contained within the head. There''s only 50-60% left, and it won''t last very long, Zhao Feng thought.


    The God Tribulation head wouldn''t be enough if he wanted to completely comprehend the Intent of and control the power of the God Tribulation Lightning. He would have to focus on comprehension while also trying to find other things that contained God Tribulation Lightning.


    The wisps of the God Tribulation Lightning were absorbed by his Soul Sea. Zhao Feng used part of his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to absorb the God Tribulation Lightning and condense his soul.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s soul hadn''t completely reached the level of an Emperor, so it was behind the level of his Emperor Intent. On the other hand, his Emperor Intent quickly recovered to the peak of his previous life with the refinement of the God Tribulation Lightning.


    "The rate at which I absorb the God Tribulation Lightning surpasses that of my previous life. As long as my soul-strength recovers as well, my overall strength will surpass that of my previous life." Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled with expectancy, but unfortunately, he didn''t have many Soul Dao treasures.


    The majority of the Soul Suppressing Stone had already been refined, and when Zhao Feng''s Emperor Intent completely recovered, the soul power within the Soul Suppressing Stone was quickly used up.


    Of course, the Soul Suppressing Stone itself was still a treasure that could suppress powerful ghosts.


    Half a month later, almost all of the Soul Dao treasures that Zhao Feng had in the Misty Spatial World were used up. Most of them weren''t strong enough, and Zhao Feng''s soul-strength managed to barely recover to the level of an Emperor.


    The purple Soul Sea in the dimension of his left eye was eight or nine hundred yards long. Although it wasn''t a thousand yards long like when it was at its peak, the difference this time was that it was more condensed and had absorbed more God Tribulation Lightning.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath as he murmured, "I''ve recovered almost all my strength from my previous life."


    At this moment in time, although he wasn''t at the middle stages of the Void God Realm like his previous life and his soul was a bit weaker as well, his overall strength had reached the same level. After all, Zhao Feng had cultivated the Sacred Lightning Body and had a strong physical body now. Although the defense of his Blood Devil Sun bloodline wasn''t as good as the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline, its offense and explosiveness were much stronger.


    Overall, he had recovered the same level of strength as the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor at his peak. As long as he didn''t offend some forbidden existences, he could go wherever he wished in the lord dynasty.


    Within a secret cultivation room in an elegant part of the Duke''s Palace, Zhao Feng spent most of his time on the Wind Lightning Technique as well as used it to refine his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Crack!


    At a certain moment, the Wind Lightning Crystal Core in Zhao Feng''s hand turned into ashes. The King-level Crystal Core he had obtained in the Divine Illusion Dimension had finally come to an end.


    Although the essence of Wind Lightning in this Crystal Core was thicker than the Crystal Core of a Domain-level King, it had to be refined, so only a portion of it was absorbed in the end.


    Zhao Feng''s expression was the same as usual as he kept on cultivating.


    The 7th level of the Wind Lightning Technique was the Wood of Wind Lightning. He had a large amount of Wood-elemental treasures as well as some Dao of Lightning treasures. Adding on the fact that he had recovered his Emperor Intent, Zhao Feng''s cultivation speed was extremely fast.


    On the night of a certain day:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several stealthy figures appeared outside the Duke''s Palace.


    "I didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be someone who took over another body or that he would have the battle-power of a peak Emperor."


    "He''s staying in the Duke''s Palace right now. Although we will most likely win, we can''t just attack him on the surface, so we have to think of a plan."


    Four males and one female could be seen in the night. All of their auras seemed to have merged with the moonlight. No one would be able to sense them unless they got extremely close.


    The Kings and Emperors guarding the Duke''s Palace only occasionally scanned over the area, but they didn''t find anything.

 885 Breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm

    Chapter 885 - Breaking Through to the Mystic Light Realm


    The four males and one female were covered by a faint layer of moonlight, and they seemed to merge into the night.


    The source of the moonlight came from the female in dark green robes. This dark-green-robed female gave off a calm aura, and she had an elegant disposition that stood out from the other four, who had demonic auras.


    However, the leader of the five was a tall male with a purple-black aura. This male''s eyes were dark, and although he tried to conceal himself, the occasional wisp of black flame appeared.


    Nine Darkness Palace sent four peak Emperors to kill Zhao Feng. This Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo is unrivalled even amongst Emperors, and he has fought with a Sacred Lord before¡­. The expression of the female in dark green robes was solemn.


    She was extremely wary of the purple-and-black-armored Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo. On top of that, the other three were peak Emperors as well.


    "Bi Qingyue." Black flames occasionally appeared from Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo as his gaze landed on the female in dark green robes.


    "Lord Protector, is there anything you need?" The dark-green-robed female slightly bowed with respect.


    "As the owner of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion that''s in charge of the information around the ocean and the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, you should know more about the Duke''s Palace than us." Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s voice seemed to come from an abyss.


    The dark-robed female paused for a moment before answering, "Right now, Duke Nanfeng has entered a life-and-death seclusion to try to break through to the Mystic Light Realm. There are three Emperors in the palace, including a peak Emperor, and all of them are trusted by Duke Nanfeng. The target we are aiming to kill is faster than most peak Emperors¡­"


    "Not bad, not bad."


    The other three peak Emperors were an elder with a purple face, a middle-aged male with a dark face, and a youth in black armor. They were very satisfied with this information. Nine Darkness Palace, which they were from, was extremely far away from this place, so they didn''t know much.


    Luckily, since they were a peak three-star power as well as the leading force of the Demonic Dao, they had some subordinate forces in the area. One of them was the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, which the dark-green-robed Bi Qingyue was from.


    "What do you think our chances of winning are?" Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo seemed to be thinking about Bi Qingyue''s loyalty. Greed and playfulness flashed through his eyes as he eyed her.


    Bi Qingyue started to feel cold under his gaze. She was also a peak Emperor, but she felt a huge pressure from Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo. This pressure was almost at the Mystic Light Realm level.


    "The only one we need to be wary of is Duke Nanfeng. Since he''s in seclusion right now, this is the best chance to take action. We only need to surround or ambush Zhao Feng and not let him run away. The chance of success is 90%. After all, the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor has only just recovered back to the Void God Realm, so he hasn''t fully recovered his strength," Bi Qingyue analyzed.


    Her analysis was based off the information about the Duke''s Palace, and it was correct in theory.


    "That''s about correct." Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo took back his gaze and spoke in an emotionless tone, "But this isn''t the best moment to take action yet. What we are wary of isn''t Duke Nanfeng, but the Great Gan Imperials ¨C or more precisely, the Grand Imperial Hall."


    Hearing that, Bi Qingyue was slightly shocked. Right now wasn''t the best chance to take action? Did he want to wait until Duke Nanfeng reached the Mystic Light Realm?


    She knew of the Grand Imperial Hall. It was a supreme force behind the imperials, and it was comparable to a four-star power. Apparently, the members of the Grand Imperial Hall mainly came from the imperials, and it mainly consisted of the previous emperors.


    Although the Grand Imperial Hall didn''t have many members, most of their core members were Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    "I''ve tried to break through to the Mystic Light Realm before, and I can tell that Duke Nanfeng hasn''t reached the final stage of breaking through. Although he''s entered a life-and-death seclusion, he could come out at any time if he is interrupted."


    Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s voice made Bi Qingyue''s heart go cold. She had forgotten that Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was an unparalleled Emperor who had tried to break through to the Mystic Light Realm many times. Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was probably more experienced and familiar than Duke Nanfeng in how to reach the Mystic Light Realm.


    "The best chance is when Duke Nanfeng is at the last stage of breaking through. At that moment, even if he finds out we''re going to take action against Zhao Feng, he won''t do anything or else he''ll be severely injured from the disruption. It could be said that he would have to make one hard decision." Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo snickered coldly.


    Hearing that, the other peak Emperors started to laugh wickedly.


    "So that''s how it is." Bi Qingyue nodded her head. If they took action right now, Duke Nanfeng would probably just come out and stop them. After all, Nine Darkness Palace didn''t dare to attack an important member of the Great Gan Imperials directly yet. Furthermore, Duke Nanfeng was extremely strong in his own right, and he had the providence of the lord dynasty. On top of that, he also had the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    "We just need to wait for another half a month."


    Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo slightly raised his hand, and the group of five pulled away from the Duke''s Palace.


    Within the Duke''s Palace, none of the Emperors that were here to guard it sensed anything, and as Duke Nanfeng was in seclusion, his senses toward the outside world also dropped dramatically.


    In a secret cultivation room within the Duke''s Palace, Zhao Feng poured all his energy into cultivation and also knew nothing of the danger that was starting to brew.


    Shua! Shua!


    With a wave of his hands, a bunch of Wood-elemental resources appeared in front of him. He had many Wood-elemental resources, but not so many Wind Lightning resources. However, because Zhao Feng had his Emperor Intent, his cultivation of the Wind Lightning laws wasn''t slow.


    Over the past couple days, Zhao Feng had been progressing steadily in the Wind Lightning Technique. Because he had a large amount of Wood-elemental resources, such as the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice and the Green Water Sky Lotuses, Zhao Feng''s progress in the Wood of Wind Lightning was basically at the level of a god. Furthermore, the Water of Wind Lightning within Zhao Feng''s body could also turn into Wood of Wind Lightning.


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning Technique had reached the late stages of the 7th level and was still progressing.


    "The further one goes in the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, the more methods and skills one can use. When the elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth of Wind Lightning are all cultivated, barely anyone in the Lord Dynasty will be my match."


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but look forward to that day.


    Because of his foundation in the Wind Lightning Inheritance from his previous life, his progress in the Wind Lightning Technique was very rapid and didn''t have any bottleneck at all. Of course, it also helped that he had enough resources.


    Time passed by slowly, and Zhao Feng used the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to split his energy into three sources to comprehend three things.


    The first was to focus on absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning and use it to refine his soul. The second was to learn and practice the battle techniques within the Wind Lightning Technique and the Sacred Lightning Body in his mind. The third was to cultivate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique to raise his cultivation.


    In reality, Zhao Feng had far too many options to choose from right now. By controlling Junior Martial Brother Deng Chao from Sky Suspension Palace, he was able to obtain a large amount of Xie Yang books, and some of them were comparable to the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body or the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. A small number of them even surpassed those two techniques.


    These Xie Yang books mainly regarded the Wicked Dao, and although they weren''t suitable for Zhao Feng, they could still increase his knowledge and understanding of the world. If Zhao Feng was able to comprehend these Xie Yang books, he could perfect the skills he had or even create his own skills, but right now, he needed to gain his footing in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty and could only work on those things when he had time later.


    In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and Zhao Feng''s soul was now completely consolidated at the level of an Emperor and not much different from his previous life. In addition, Zhao Feng''s progress in the Wind Lightning Technique was extremely fast, and he had almost reached the peak level for his Wood of Wind Lightning. His cultivation was also just a tiny bit away from reaching the peak of his previous life ¨C he had almost reached the middle stages of the Void God Realm.


    However, after reaching the late stages of the Sacred Lightning Body''s 5th level, his progress started to become extremely slow. It would probably be stuck for a while unless Zhao Feng was willing to use the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey.


    "Three months have passed. Duke Nanfeng should be at the last stages of trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm."


    On this day, Zhao Feng opened his eyes.


    Duke Nanfeng had told him some stuff before he entered seclusion. While Zhao Feng was a guest here, he was also one of the strongest people in the palace, so he needed to fulfill his responsibilities.


    As long as Duke Nanfeng was able to break through to the Mystic Light Realm, the positives would outweigh the negatives for Zhao Feng since he was currently under the protection of the Duke''s Palace.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath and exited his state of cultivation to inspect what was going on in the Duke''s Palace.


    At this moment, a powerful aura started to form in the air above the Duke''s Palace and caused Heaven and Earth to become heavy. The pressure from this aura first affected the soul before starting to pressure the physical dimension. At the end, this aura bore down on both dimensions, and it seemed to look down on everything in the world.


    Zhao Feng found that all the Yuan Qi nearby was starting to freeze, as if it was bowing down to a saint. Even the progress of his Wind Lightning Technique was slowing down. Zhao Feng had only felt something similar from the Bee Empress in Xie Yang Palace.


    At a certain moment:


    Weng~~ Boom!


    The air above Duke Nanfeng started to shake, and a purple-golden haze appeared and slowly turned into a whirlpool. The True Yuan of countless experts within the Duke''s Palace started to boil and become uneasy.


    At this instant, all the servants below the half-step King level had been taken away, otherwise the pressure from this aura alone would be enough to kill anyone at the Origin Core Realm.


    A couple dozen miles away from the Duke''s Palace, in a hidden forest.


    "The disturbance of Mystic Light Sacred Power¡­ Duke Nanfeng''s progress is going much more smoothly than I thought it would." Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was slightly dazed as a surge of forbidden aura started to appear around the Duke''s Palace.


    At this moment in time, all the beings within several thousand miles of the Duke''s Palace started to feel the pressure. The pressure included the power of mental energy and illusions.


    Weng~~ Hu~


    The golden-purple whirlpool in the air above the Duke''s Palace was like the light of a saint as it caused Yuan Qi to bow down and scared away Gods and Ghosts alike.


    "Now is the best chance. If we''re any later, there won''t be any time." Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo revealed an urgent expression as he led the four peak Emperors and entered the Duke''s Palace.

 886 Zhao Feng’s Card

    Chapter 886 - Zhao Feng''s Last Card


    The gold-and-purple whirlpool in the air above the Duke''s Palace released a brilliant light that shone across Heaven and Earth. This aura that had almost reached the Mystic Light Realm crushed over everything around the Duke''s Palace, and the experts within the palace were unable to move their True Yuan.


    This power didn''t just pressure the physical dimension ¨C even souls and Intents were pressured. In this situation, only a small number of Void God Realm Kings and Emperors could barely manage to control their power.


    "Looks like Duke Nanfeng''s breakthrough to the Mystic Light Realm is going smoothly."


    Zhao Feng walked out of his building. He wanted to see and comprehend what breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm felt like. It wasn''t just Zhao Feng that had thoughts like this; there were also some other forces within the palace that were the same. The current situation was an extremely rare opportunity.


    At this moment, the other three Emperors within the Duke''s Palace walked out.


    "The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s Origin Pollen sure helped Duke Nanfeng a lot¡­."


    "If Duke Nanfeng becomes a Sacred Lord, he will be able to affect the Great Gan Lord Dynasty greatly."


    The three Emperors consisted of two males and one female, and they all had smiles on their faces. Amongst them was a silver-haired elder whose aura surpassed normal Emperors ¨C he was a peak Emperor.


    Duke Nanfeng had introduced these three Emperors to Zhao Feng before he entered seclusion, but these three Emperors didn''t place much importance on someone who just broke through to the Void God Realm.


    "Hmm? What aura is that¡­?" The silver-haired elder suddenly sensed something and looked toward a certain direction.


    Zhao Feng also felt the aura at the same time.


    "Eh?" Zhao Feng suddenly felt four or five stealthy auras approaching. Although these auras were purposely trying to conceal themselves, they were too strong and moving too quickly, so they couldn''t hide it completely.


    The important thing here was that Duke Nanfeng was at the critical stage of breaking through.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    A total of five powerful and stealthy auras had entered the Duke''s Palace.


    Zhao Feng''s and the silver-haired elder''s expressions changed dramatically as they scanned over with their Divine Sense.


    "Five Emperors¡­ and all of them seem to be peak Emperors!" The silver-haired elder''s body shook.


    Zhao Feng''s left pupil contracted as he inspected the appearances and auras of these four males and one female.


    Five peak Emperors! Zhao Feng also jumped up in fright. It was hard for normal three-star powers to send out such a force at once.


    "Lord Protector, we''ve locked onto where Zhao Feng is in seclusion," the dark-green-robed female said respectfully.


    Zhao Feng, oh Zhao Feng, you will not be able to escape today. Bi Qingyue sighed in her heart as her powerful Divine Sense scanned over the Duke''s Palace and locked onto Zhao Feng''s location.


    When they were making their plans, she already knew where everything was located in the Duke''s Palace and where Zhao Feng was staying. It was because of this that the five peak Emperors were able to quickly lock onto Zhao Feng after entering the Duke''s Palace.


    "Kill that brat!" Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s voice seemed to come from hell.


    The powerful auras of five peak Emperors were instantly unleashed as they charged toward the building where Zhao Feng was staying.


    Although the Duke''s Palace was big, it was just a bit more than a dozen strides for a peak Emperor if they went at their full speed. Zhao Feng had no place to hide.


    "Block them!" The three Void God Realm Emperors within the Duke''s Palace roared.


    The silver-haired elder was the first to react as he led the other male and the female to support Zhao Feng. Duke Nanfeng had introduced Zhao Feng to them, and now that Zhao Feng was in trouble, they wouldn''t just not help.


    "Enemy attack! On guard!"


    "Protect my Lord and kill all the enemies!"


    The Kings within the Duke''s Palace started to move. Luckily for them, the five peak Emperors weren''t attacking Duke Nanfeng but one of his guests instead.


    "Apart from Duke Nanfeng and the princess, kill anyone that tries to stop us," Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo ordered coldly. As long as they didn''t harm the important members of the Great Gan Imperials and only killed Zhao Feng, they wouldn''t touch the imperials'' bottom line.


    As the five were about to surrounded Zhao Feng:


    "Get back here!" The silver-haired elder and the other two Emperors arrived.


    They didn''t need to win against five peak Emperors; all they needed to do was create a gap that Zhao Feng could use to escape. If Zhao Feng focused on running away, the other five peak Emperors wouldn''t be able to catch up to him.


    "Don''t give Zhao Feng any chance to escape." Bi Qingyue''s eyebrows furrowed. She knew all the information about Zhao Feng. The reason why Zhao Feng was able to massacre the Void God Realms from Earth Spirit Hal was because of his speed and his eye-bloodline.


    To kill Zhao Feng, they needed to surround him and not give him any chance to escape. To do this, at least four peak Emperors were necessary.


    "Let me do it." Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s expression became grim as he looked coldly at the silver-haired elder and the other two Emperors.


    "Scorching Demon Spirit Body!"


    In an instant, Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo became covered in a layer of black flame as he started to expand. He turned into a flaming demonic sovereign that radiated a powerful force.


    Wu~~ Boom!


    Half of the Duke''s Palace shook as it was covered by a dark demonic flame. This was still under the basis that Duke Nanfeng was at the final stages of breaking through and the disturbance of his Mystic Light Sacred power was suppressing Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s power.


    "What!?" The expressions of the three newly-arrived Emperors changed dramatically as they started to shake in front of the demonic sovereign. They felt as if they were facing an ancient demonic beast.


    "Fuck off!" Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo, who had turned into a flaming demonic sovereign, smashed his hand out, and a giant flaming hand swept toward the three Emperors.


    "Golden Yuan Sky Essence!" The silver-haired elder released a brilliant glow of gold light that shot into the sky.


    The other two Emperors next to him also unleashed their attacks. However, the instant the giant flaming hand swept over, the two Emperors almost coughed out blood as their faces became bright red.


    Crack!


    The golden light that shot out from the silver-haired elder was ripped into pieces and pushed back a hundred yards.


    "Arghh!" The female screamed as the giant demonic hand ripped her apart.


    Bam!


    The male Emperor wasn''t a peak Emperor, so he was sent flying by the hand and immediately coughed out blood.


    In just an instant, one of the three Emperors was killed, another was severely injured, and the last was slightly injured.


    Sii!


    The expressions of all the other Kings from the Duke''s Palace that were about to enter the fray changed dramatically, and they froze.


    As far as peak Emperors went, the silver-haired elder was on par with the golden-robed Emperor Zhang Xuandong of Earth Spirit Hall that had appeared at the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and was close to Duanmu Qing when he was back at the True Martial Sacred Land.


    "Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo, it''s you¡­!" The silver-haired elder wiped the blood from his mouth as shock filled his face. Just now, he used his full power, but it was useless against Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s Scorching Demon Spirit Body.


    Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was indeed worthy of being an unparalleled Emperor that had the ability to threaten Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    Five peak Emperors, and one of them is even slightly stronger than the Emperor of Death back then¡­. Zhao Feng was unable to contain the shock on his face as he stood outside the building. The strength of the silver-haired elder was close to his master Duanmu Qing when they were back at the True Martial Sacred Land.


    In terms of strength, Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo might be able to suppress the Emperor of Death in a head-on collision, but if it was a life-and-death fight, it was impossible to predict the result.


    In single combat, the chance of Zhao Feng winning against the Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was quite low, and on top of him, there were four other peak Emperors as well. This situation was quite dangerous.


    Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!


    While the Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo attacked, the other four Emperors successfully surrounded Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, your partner Nan Gongsheng killed the elites of Nine Darkness Palace in Xie Yang Palace. Today, we shall hold you accountable."


    "Hehe, let''s see how strong the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor of the Cang Ocean is."


    Apart from Bi Qingyue, there was a purple-faced elder, a middle-aged male with a dark face, and the last was a youth in black armor. These three were all peak Emperors of Nine Darkness Palace. Adding on Bi Qingyue, a total of four peak Emperors were currently surrounding Zhao Feng.


    "Take down this brat within three breaths!" Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo quickly closed in.


    The silver-haired elder and the other Emperors and Kings in the Duke''s Palace had bitter expressions. The tide couldn''t be turned; just the Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo alone could kill them all. All they could do was sigh in their hearts as the peak Emperors surrounded Zhao Feng.


    "Three breaths?" Zhao Feng stood there and snickered coldly. "Good. I''ll make sure none of you return."


    The youth''s cold, mocking laugh made Bi Qingyue and the other Emperors feel cold.


    Bi Qingyue felt extremely uneasy for some reason. She had the information about Zhao Feng and knew some of the miracles this youth had produced within the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Hmm? The silver-haired elder and company were all surprised as well. Any peak Emperor would be unable to turn the tide in this situation, let alone a brand-new King.


    "Don''t try to bluff us."


    "Kill!"


    The middle-aged male and the youth in armor leapt at Zhao Feng from the left and right.


    "At the moment, I''m not personally the match for four peak Emperors and one unparalleled Emperor, but¡­"


    Zhao Feng''s expression was unusually calm. He reached out, and a jade-like chubby little silkworm the size of a thumb appeared, and it flapped its half-transparent wings.


    This was the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, which had recovered most of its energy.


    Weng~ Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly opened its mouth, and multi-colored silk shot through the air and covered everything within a couple hundred yards.


    "Arghhhh, what¡­!?" The two peak Emperors that just launched their attacks instantly froze as a wave of multi-colored silk wrapped around them.


    "Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly!"


    "How can this Zhao Feng control the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly¡­!?"


    Bi Qingyue and the purple-faced elder both quickly retreated, but their legs were still caught by some silk.

 887 Deal with all of you at once

    Chapter 887 - Dealing with Everyone at Once


    Weng~~ Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh


    The multi-colored silk that shot out from the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s mouth caught the two peak Emperors off guard.


    "Not good! It''s the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly!"


    The middle-aged male and the youth in black armor were completely covered in silk. This silk was extremely tough and sticky, and it was hard to get out of even for Emperors. In the blink of an eye, two peak Emperors had turned into two multi-colored sticky rice dumplings.


    Crack! Boom!


    Bi Qingyue and the elder with a purple face were also hit, but they unleashed their True Yuan and managed to push the silk away.


    In reality, Zhao Feng didn''t want to catch all four Emperors at once because that would divide the silk''s strength into four. His first step was just to capture these two peak Emperors that were close to him, and he succeeded.


    Although the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly isn''t that strong personally, its supportive abilities sure are.


    Zhao Feng calmed down after the Emperors'' ambush failed. The pressure he had to face decreased dramatically after making two peak Emperors lose all their battle-power.


    "This is quite troublesome. That brat can actually control the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly¡­."


    The retreating purple-faced elder''s expression changed. He and Bi Qingyue were a little slow to attack, so they weren''t ambushed by the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    "There''s no need to worry." Bi Qingyue''s eyes landed on the two struggling sticky rice dumplings and messaged calmly, "Only the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s supportive abilities are strong. It won''t be able to kill two peak Emperors for quite some time. All we need to do is increase the pressure on Zhao Feng and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, and the two elders will be able to escape."


    Hearing that, the purple-faced elder let out a breath. If one looked closely, the two multi-colored sticky rice dumplings were radiating surges of power, and the sound of cracking came from the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. It was obvious that these two peak Emperors were using their full power to try to escape.


    Within a breath''s time:


    Crack~ Zhi~~~


    Cracks were already appearing on the surface of the two multi-colored sticky rice dumplings, and the roars of two enraged peak Emperors could be heard from within.


    "The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly isn''t as strong as the legends say. It''s supposed to be able to threaten Sacred Lords."


    The purple-faced elder roared as he charged at Zhao Feng. As long as he was able to put some more pressure on Zhao Feng, the two peak Emperors would be able to break free.


    Bi Qingyue''s eyebrows furrowed slightly. She was hesitant, but she still followed. She felt that something was amiss ¨C the two peak Emperors were struggling free much faster than expected. According to the legends, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly should be able to bind several Emperors extremely easily. Apparently, this particular Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had even participated in killing a Mystic Light Realm beast.


    Maybe it was because this Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was currently weak and couldn''t use its full power?


    Zhi~~~


    The two Emperors were about to break out.


    "Kill!"


    At the same instant, the purple-faced elder and Bi Qingyue charged toward Zhao Feng from the front and back.


    The hearts of the silver-haired elder and the other experts of the Duke''s Palace reached their throats. They couldn''t help but sigh; even if Zhao Feng could control the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, it seemed like it wasn''t enough to stand against five peak Emperors. Furthermore, the strongest Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was about to arrive as well.


    At this critical moment, Zhao Feng''s calm face became solemn.


    Victory or defeat depends on this. Zhao Feng suddenly waved his hand, and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly flapped its wings quickly.


    If one paid close attention, they would''ve realized that the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly didn''t even pay much attention to the two peak Emperors after binding them. Zhao Feng also seemed like he was completely ignoring them.


    Hu~~


    At this moment, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly quickly flapped its wings, and a half-transparent multi-colored pollen swept across a radius of several hundred yards.


    "Watch out, it''s the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s Dream Pollen!"


    Bi Qingyue was wary during the whole approach, so her heart jumped as soon as the pollen swept over.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s supportive abilities didn''t consist of just silk. The pollen it gave off was also extremely unique.


    Hu~~~


    The purple-faced elder and Bi Qingyue were unable to evade, and they were enveloped by the pollen.


    Bi Qingyue had reacted a bit quicker, and she covered herself in crystal-like moonlight, including her eyes, nose, and other orifices. However, despite these measures, when the Dream Pollen arrived, Bi Qingyue''s body started to become numb, and she instinctively didn''t dare to approach further.


    Bi Qingyue didn''t know that her hesitation from before and her pause now had changed her fate.


    "Not good! The True Yuan in my body¡­!" The purple-faced elder at the front was directly hit by the Dream Pollen, and he received a huge blast of pollen. His body instantly became weak, and he lost control over his True Yuan and bloodline power. Fear and panic instantly appeared on his face.


    Being a peak Emperor, his True Yuan wouldn''t be completely uncontrollable as long as he tried his best, but his speed decreased dramatically.


    This Dream Pollen''s unique ability can pass through the soul-dimension and the physical-dimension, and it''s effective even against Sacred Lords. Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head with a smile.


    He obviously had several cards that gave him the confidence to face five peak Emperors.


    At this moment, the power of the Dream Pollen caused the two peak Emperors'' strength to drop dramatically, especially for the purple-faced elder. He froze, and cold sweat started to appear on his forehead as he tried to resist the power of the Dream Pollen. He was currently unable to attack Zhao Feng.


    Crack! Zhi~~


    Right at this instant, more and more cracks appeared in the two multi-colored sticky rice dumplings. The heads of the two peak Emperors inside could even be seen.


    These two peak Emperors were about to break free. Their faces were green and filled with hatred. The moment they broke out, they would counterattack Zhao Feng furiously.


    Hope appeared in the eyes of Bi Qingyue and the purple-faced elder, who were both affected by the Dream Pollen.


    "Hehe, the moment you break out of your cocoon is the start of a new life¡­." Zhao Feng smiled instead of being surprised.


    The youth''s laughter caused Bi Qingyue''s heart to become heavy. From the beginning, this purple-haired youth was confident and unfathomable, just as his information suggested.


    Shua! Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng suddenly waved his hand, and the buzzing of bees sounded.


    "That''s¡­!!?"


    Bi Qingyue''s heart shook as she saw eight multi-colored bees appear from Zhao Feng''s arm. Each of these venomous bees radiated an aura comparable to Kings. Some had even reached the Peak-tier King-level, so they were extremely dangerous.


    "Five Poison Distinct Bee Kings, watch out~~~!" Bi Qingyue seemed to recognize these bees, and her heart went cold.


    Unfortunately, her warning was too late. The two peak Emperors struggled with all their might and managed to crawl half their bodies out of the sticky rice dumplings. However, the moment they saw the sun again was the beginning of their nightmare.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~ Shu! Shu! Shu!


    One of the peak Emperors was stung by four blazing bee stingers.


    The Five Poison Distinct Bees weren''t strong per se, but their suicidal attacks had the ability to kill those who were stronger than themselves since it required them to pay with their lives.


    In theory, each Bee King had the ability to harm or kill an Emperor. To make sure everything went smoothly, Zhao Feng unleashed four Bee Kings on each of the peak Emperors as soon as they started crawling out. If he summoned the bees too early, they wouldn''t be able to do anything since the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s silk was extremely tough. Even peak Emperors had trouble damaging it, let alone some King-level bees.


    Shu! Boom! Shu! Boom!


    In an instant, the two peak Emperors were each stung by four Bee Kings. They exploded into bits and pieces, and their flesh turned green.


    This scene completely shocked Bi Qingyue and the purple-faced elder. In the blink of an eye, two peak Emperors were killed by eight Five Poison Distinct Bees. They didn''t die from a fierce battle, but an ambush from some insects.


    The suicidal attacks of the Five Poison Distinct Bees are quite suitable for ambushing. If the target is ready for it, then the effect will decrease dramatically.


    Waves splashed in Zhao Feng''s heart. The two that just died were both peak Emperors. In a normal single-combat situation, Zhao Feng would need at least ten breaths to kill a peak Emperor, and they both died in an instant.


    "Dream Pollen¡­? Not good! Five Poison Distinct Bees!" Right at this moment, the Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo arrived.


    Since he had to deal with the other Emperors of the Duke''s Palace before he could proceed, he arrived a bit late. He saw the entire process of the two peak Emperors being bound by the silk and the other two being ambushed by the Dream Pollen. By the time he arrived, the two peak Emperors were suddenly killed by the suicidal attacks of the Five Poison Distinct Bees.


    All of this happened in the span of a couple breaths.


    Furthermore, this wasn''t even the end. When the eight Five Poison Distinct Bees finished their job, Zhao Feng himself took action.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!"


    Zhao Feng stepped out and became covered in golden-blue lightning as he turned into the size of a small giant. In just one step, Zhao Feng had arrived next to the purple-faced elder, whose battle-power had decreased dramatically.


    Boom!


    The late stages of the Sacred Lightning Body''s 5th level was like Mount Tai as it thundered down on the purple-faced elder.


    Wah!


    The purple-faced elder was already feeling weak and numb, and he instantly spat out a mouthful of blood like he was just hit by a giant hammer. Due to the Dream Pollen, his battle-power decreased dramatically, and he wasn''t able to circulate his True Yuan or bloodline as well as before.


    "Illusion Maze Domain!" Zhao Feng released his Soul Dao Domain when he punched out, making the purple-faced elder fall into despair.


    "Stop~~~!" Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo, who was currently a flaming demonic sovereign, charged over, but he wasn''t able to make it in time.


    Bam! Crack!


    Zhao Feng''s movements didn''t stop at all. He shattered the purple-faced elder with one punch.


    Under the effects of the Dream Pollen and the Illusion Maze Domain, the purple-faced elder wasn''t able to defend at all, so he was instantly slain by Zhao Feng.


    Triple kill! In just a couple breaths, three peak Emperors had been killed.


    Afterward, Zhao Feng glanced at Bi Qingyue.


    So, binding the two elders in silk was just bait. Zhao Feng''s plan was to deal with all of us at once¡­. Bi Qingyue took in a cold breath.


    Zhao Feng''s ambush and bait were extremely smart. Everything was done in order to slay the four peak Emperors that had arrived first, and he had successfully killed three.


    At this instant, Bi Qingyue''s body felt cold when Zhao Feng looked at her. She suddenly realized that she was also one of those four peak Emperors. Perhaps¡­ Zhao Feng forgot about her?


    Miao!


    A streak of silver and gray flashed behind Bi Qingyue the moment Zhao Feng completed his own kill.


    Shua!


    A shadow-like dagger stabbed into Bi Qingyue''s back and caused blood to splatter.

 888 Sacred Lightning Protection

    Chapter 888 - Sacred Lightning Protection


    "You¡­!" Bi Qingyue''s body froze as she looked at the smiling Zhao Feng.


    In the span of just a couple breaths, Zhao Feng had killed three peak Emperors. After slaying the purple-faced elder, Bi Qingyue was also attacked.


    The material of the dagger that had stabbed into her back was extremely unique, and it contained a profound Intent of the Dao of Assassination.


    A numbing sensation passed throughout her body. In an instant, she was like a petrified beauty in the moonlight. She was frozen and unable to say a word.


    The little thieving cat''s Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger had been upgraded in the Heaven''s Legacy City and now had a numbing effect.


    At this moment, the process of Zhao Feng killing the other three peak Emperors surfaced in Bi Qingyue''s mind.


    In the first ambush, Zhao Feng had pretended to be extremely weak and managed to bind two peak Emperors with silk. If the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly used its full strength, the two peak Emperors would have been stuck in there for a long. Even though the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly wasn''t at its peak, it could handle Emperors.


    Zhao Feng then deliberately let the two peak Emperors struggle and break out, which served as bait to lure in the other two peak Emperors. In order to save the two peak Emperors, Bi Qingyue and the purple-faced elder charged in together to pressure Zhao Feng, but the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly unleashed its Dream Pollen to reduce their battle-power.


    Zhao Feng then initiated the second ambush, and the purple-faced elder was directly slain. Since Bi Qingyue was ready to a certain degree and half a step behind the other Emperor, she managed to survive.


    Shu~~


    Bi Qingyue managed to summon a layer of moonlight as the little thieving cat''s Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger stabbed into her body. However, since her battle-power had been reduced and the weapon was the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger, she was still severely injured.


    Weng~ Bam!


    Bi Qingyue groaned as waves of moonlight radiated from her body and pushed away the little thieving cat and the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger. However, this injured her even more and made her sweat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat flipped in the air and landed on Zhao Feng''s arm.


    "You''ve done a good job."


    Zhao Feng put the little thieving cat into the Misty Spatial World with a wave of his hand.


    The little thieving cat didn''t specialize in head-on fights, and the dark-green-robed Bi Qingyue was rather wary at the moment. She may have been injured, but she was still a peak Emperor.


    Zhao Feng''s original aim was to kill at least three Emperors before Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo arrived. It would have been perfect if he had been able to slay all four, but Zhao Feng had made plenty of preparations, so he would''ve killed two of them at the very least.


    At this instant, of the four peak Emperors, three had been killed, and the fourth was injured and unable to use her full battle-power.


    "Brat, how dare you use such a shameless method to kill three Elders of Nine Darkness Palace!" The just-arrived Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was stunned and let out a roar.


    Everything had happened far too quickly. The silver-haired elder and the other Void God Realm experts of the Duke''s Palace were completely dazed. In just a couple breaths, Zhao Feng had used several methods to slay three peak Emperors and severely injure a fourth.


    At this instant, of the five peak Emperors, only Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo still had his complete battle-power remaining.


    The strength of Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo should be on the same level as the Emperor of Death, and perhaps even slightly stronger¡­. Zhao Feng inspected this unparalleled Emperor.


    To a certain degree, one could look at Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo as someone with the battle-power of a "half-step Sacred Lord," but there was no such thing as that in terms of actual cultivation. The Mystic Light Realm focused on the physical world and True Yuan. One either successfully transformed from a snake to a dragon or they didn''t.


    In front of a tattered building, Zhao Feng and Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo stood opposite from one another. There was only a couple dozen yards between them.


    The flaming demonic sovereign that was Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was more than ten stories high, and a layer of flames behind his back blotted out half the sky.


    Only the disturbance of Sacred Power from the person trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm nearby could suppress Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo.


    Zhao Feng was only a few meters tall even under the effect of the Sacred Lightning Body, and he was a bit off Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s Scorching Demon Spirit Body in terms of fierceness and momentum.


    However, the advantage in size didn''t give Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo much confidence. His flaming body floated in the air, and he didn''t dare to easily attack. Instead, wariness and cautiousness appeared in his eyes. Moments ago, he watched three peak Emperors get killed by Zhao Feng''s calculations.


    Hu~


    The spectating Void God Realms within the Duke''s Palace held their breath as their hearts started to thud. The purple-haired youth who they thought was at the disadvantage had quickly slain three peak Emperors, severely injured the fourth, and was now facing the unrivalled Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo ¨C all with the cultivation of a King.


    "Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo, do you dare to fight me?" Zhao Feng suddenly spoke as the physical aura of his Sacred Lightning Body started to rise.


    The progress of his Sacred Lightning Body had been slow during the past couple months, but it suddenly ignited after facing such a strong foe. Indeed, after recovering the strength of his previous life, Zhao Feng hadn''t sparred with such a strong opponent before.


    "Lord Protector, don''t drag out the fight for long. This Zhao Feng has a lot of techniques as well as the help of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. There''s also other Emperors within the Duke''s Palace¡­." Bi Qingyue quickly messaged.


    She was injured right now, and her battle-power was much lower. She was on guard against Zhao Feng at every moment. Right now, she was no longer considering how to kill Zhao Feng; she only cared about how she could escape, and the only way Bi Qingyue could escape was to charge out with Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo.


    "Retreat¡­? I''ve never lost so utterly before¡­." Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s expression became grim.


    He was extremely strong and couldn''t allow himself to lose against a mere youth so easily, even if that youth was the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor from the Cang Ocean. Even if he did end up retreating, he at least wanted to prove his fame and teach these people a lesson first.


    "Do you dare to fight me!?" Zhao Feng roared as he circulated his Sacred Lightning Body to the maximum and became even taller.


    Boom!


    A wave of light burst out from Zhao Feng as he punched toward Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo with his full power.


    The speed and explosiveness of this attack made Bi Qingyue click her tongue. Even Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was caught off guard. No one would have thought that this youth was so strong.


    "Hmph!" Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s eyes became cold as a black ripple glowed around him.


    He didn''t move forward or backward; he just stood there and took Zhao Feng''s attack head-on with his Demon Spirit Body.


    Crack! Boom!


    A loud explosion sounded as Zhao Feng''s terrifying punch, which contained his physical strength and his Blood Devil Sun bloodline, shook Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s body.


    Hu~~


    A chaotic flame burned across Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s body and started to extend across his entire body. Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s expression was grim as his own flames engulfed the Blood Devil Sun flames.


    The Scorching Demon Spirit Body he cultivated was formed from countless flames of darkness, and it was completely different from the Blood Devil Sun.


    However, he was disgusted when he realized that Zhao Feng''s punch absorbed some of the energy in his body.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng was pushed back by the black ripple from Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo.


    "An undying body¡­." Zhao Feng looked at Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s body. There was originally a large hole there from his punch, but it was quickly healing. This meant that Zhao Feng''s punch just now didn''t actually threaten Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo. On top of that, Zhao Feng found that his Blood Devil Sun bloodline was countered by the opponent''s flames, and the lifesteal effect of his bloodline was weaker.


    Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s Demon Spirit Body is even stronger than the Emperor of Death''s Immortal Death Body.


    Zhao Feng''s pupils contracted. The main reason the Emperor of Death lost to him in the past was because he specialized in Soul and eye-bloodline techniques, which were perfectly countered by the God''s Spiritual Eye. Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was much stronger than the Emperor of Death in a head-on fight.


    "Kneel!" Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo roared, and he waved his giant hand as the flames behind him became bigger.


    Shua!


    An enormous hand passed through the air and crushed toward Zhao Feng alongside demonic flames. The power of this hand could shake Heaven and Earth, and its Intent had also reached a high level.


    The space around Zhao Feng was locked onto by a certain power similar to the ability of the Sky Locking Bow. Unknowingly, the space around Zhao Feng started to erode under a dark flame.


    One had to admit that Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s skill, Intent, body, and soul had all reached the limit of the Void God Realm. In some respects, he had even stepped into the domain of the Mystic Light Realm, especially in regard to his techniques. His mastery had reached an incredible level.


    Zhao Feng felt slightly troubled, which only happened when he met strong enemies.


    It wouldn''t be too hard for him to defeat Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo if he utilized the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly or his eye-bloodline or the God Tribulation Lightning. However, Zhao Feng wanted to fight with this famous expert of the lord dynasty.


    "Sacred Lightning Protection!" Zhao Feng merged the power of his Wind Lightning and his Sacred Lightning physical force together. An ancient barrier of lightning formed around him; it shone with golden light and gave off a thunderous hum.


    Boom! Bam! Weng~~


    The giant hand was blocked by the Sacred Lightning Protection, causing explosions to sound. The Sacred Lightning Protection then released a bright golden layer of lightning that pushed the giant hand away.


    "A fusion of physical force and lightning? What kind of defensive secret technique is this?" Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s heart shook. His powerful blow did no damage to Zhao Feng and was even counterattacked by the Sacred Lightning Protection.


    Bam! Boom Boom~~~~!


    Although the clash between Zhao Feng and Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was extremely condensed, holes filled the ground within a thousand-yard-radius of their fight.

 889 Duke Nanfeng’s Danger

    Chapter 889 - Duke Nanfeng''s Danger


    Bam! Boom~~~~!


    Zhao Feng and Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo only fought within a radius of a couple dozen yards, but even the Duke''s Palace was shaking. If it wasn''t for the fact that the Duke''s Palace was made of such high-quality materials and fortified by many arrays, it would have crumbled already.


    However, the hearts of all the experts within the Duke''s Palace still trembled as they carefully pulled away. The silver-haired peak Emperor blocked the powerful shockwaves and protected the weaker people.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Fist!"


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body cracked as his fists released brilliant glows of light that shot into the sky.


    Hu~~ Bam! Bam!


    Fists made of golden lightning were unleashed, and they were each the size of a blazing sun.


    This Fist Intent and this body-strengthening technique are similar to the legendary Golden Kun Sacred Body¡­.


    Holes started to appear on Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s Demonic Spirit Body as explosions raged across his body.


    After using the Sacred Lightning Dominating Fist, Zhao Feng''s punches contained more power and a superior Intent that crushed everything in their path.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng''s style of fighting was similar to the child Demigod, and his mastery of the Sacred Body was even stronger. On top of that, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body contained the element of Lightning, and after being refined by the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, the lightning was very powerful.


    The biggest difference between Zhao Feng and the child Demigod was the element and Intent of the Sacred Lightning Dominating Fist. However, Zhao Feng also had the mutated Blood Devil Sun bloodline, which was extremely explosive and increased his battle-power by an entire level or two.


    Crack! Crack! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Fists shot through the sky, and he seemed to transform into a God of War as he smashed through everything in his way. Even someone as strong as Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo was pressured by Zhao Feng in an instant.


    Shockwaves formed where they clashed, ravaging across half of the Duke''s Palace.


    "Scorching Sky Demonic Sword!"


    A giant flaming sword started to form from the flames around Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo as he decided to exit close combat against Zhao Feng.


    In terms of close combat, no one was the match of a body cultivator. Especially against Zhao Feng, whose Sacred Lightning Body was even stronger than the famous Golden Kun Sacred Body.


    "Wings of Wind and Lightning!"


    A pair of giant wings formed behind Zhao Feng''s back, and his speed and agility rose.


    Peng!


    Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s flaming sword landed on Zhao Feng, but it was pushed aside by the golden fists.


    "Ha!"


    The wings behind Zhao Feng''s back whistled and summoned a tornado of wind and lightning that charred everything in its path black.


    Hu~~ Boom!


    Building after building within the Duke''s Palace was turned into ashes.


    Although Zhao Feng and Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo were both starting to fight in the air, once they both fought with their full strength, the force of their clashes was enough to destroy a two-star power.


    "Zhao Feng, stop!" The silver-haired Emperor and company combined their strength to stop the shockwaves, but some of the arrays within the Duke''s Palace had already been ripped into shreds.


    Destruction was always easier than creation.


    "All our information has underestimated Zhao Feng. Just how strong is the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor?" Bi Qingyue''s body turned cold as she bore the shockwaves. She wanted to run, but the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had locked onto her.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Rings of silk shot out toward Bi Qingyue, and she was forced into desperation. There was the occasional ring of silk that landed on her as she tried to dodge, and by the time she pushed it away, more silk would land on her.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s eyes were filled with pure playfulness. Without Zhao Feng''s order, it was just going to play around, otherwise Bi Qingyue would have turned into a sticky rice dumpling already.


    "Lord Protector, we won''t be able to escape if we don''t leave right now!" Bi Qingyue quickly messaged.


    Miao miao!


    However, a sound appeared behind her that made her heart go cold.


    The little thieving cat had a playful expression as it took a dark golden chain from around its neck.


    Weng~~ Shua!


    The dark golden chain turned into an agile golden dragon whip. The roar of a dragon could be heard. Every time this dark golden dragon snake whip was waved around, an invisible force appeared that could pressure True Yuan and bloodlines, as if it was from a true dragon.


    This whip had been obtained from the golden skeleton in the ruined city of the Divine Illusion Dimension. Nan Gongsheng''s nose ring also came from the golden skeleton. The golden skeleton was at least a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord when they were alive, and it was likely that they were on the cusp of becoming a Demigod.


    "Arghh!"


    Bi Qingyue''s dark green robes were ripped apart by the attacks from both sides, revealing a pair of snow-white legs.


    Hu~~


    Bi Qingyue''s legs felt hot as the little thieving cat''s dark golden dragon snake whip wrapped around them. Her body froze as another wave of multi-colored silk firmly tied around the lower half of her body.


    In just a breath or two, Bi Qingyue had turned into a cocoon-like sticky rice dumpling.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat leapt onto the multi-colored sticky rice ball as the whip turned into a thin chain and went back around its neck.


    Hu~ Hu~ Pa!


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly flew onto the little thieving cat''s neck and nudged it with its chubby body. The combined force of these two spiritual pets had managed to capture a peak Emperor alive. They then sat there and watched the battle between Zhao Feng and Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo curiously.


    Not good. Bi Qingyue''s been captured¡­! Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s heart went cold. Of the five peak Emperors that originally came, there was only him left now. He was filled with regret, but there was nothing he could do at this point.


    At this moment, the silver-haired peak Emperor couldn''t stand the destruction that Zhao Feng and the Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo were causing anymore and charged over.


    The addition of an extra peak Emperor would definitely affect the battle. Furthermore, Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo still had to watch out for the two cute, harmless-looking pets. These two spiritual pets had captured a peak Emperor by just playing around, and this made Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s heart fall.


    Just Zhao Feng alone could fight against him, let alone Zhao Feng a bunch of other factors together.


    "Today''s battle ends here. Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor, I''ve tested your strength." Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s expression was filled with hatred and unwillingness as he turned into a dark flaming cloud and flashed into the sky.


    What speed! Zhao Feng was faintly surprised. Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s secret technique was probably close to the level of the Wind Lightning Emperor''s inheritance.


    Although this fight was short, it used up a lot of Zhao Feng''s energy. While he could fight against Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo head-on in the short term, he would only become more and more tired as the fight went on. This was due to the difference in cultivation, mastery of skills, and strength. For example, although Zhao Feng''s bloodline had a lifesteal effect, Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s Scorching Demon Spirit Body had an undying attribute.


    The Sacred Lightning Body will also have an undying attribute eventually, but that will take a long time. Only a small number of Emperors with great fortune, talent, or a rare bloodline can fully cultivate the attribute of undying. Zhao Feng analyzed his weakness.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng had cultivated the Sacred Lightning Protection, a secret technique that merged the Wind Lightning Technique and the Sacred Lightning Body together for defensive purposes. In a head-on exchange, even Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo wouldn''t be able to do anything to him, otherwise Zhao Feng would''ve been at a huge disadvantage in the battle just now.


    Of course, in a true life-or-death battle, Zhao Feng''s chances of winning were higher. After all, he hadn''t even truly used his speed or the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    "Little Friend Zhao, if you keep on fighting, the Duke''s Palace will be destroyed. How will the Duke manage to break through then?" The silver-haired peak Emperor gave a bitter smile, and there were complex emotions in his eyes. If he had known that Zhao Feng was this strong, they wouldn''t have lost a Void God Realm Emperor.


    "Duke Nanfeng?" Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something as he gazed at the purple-and-golden whirlpool in the sky above the Duke''s Palace.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    The giant purple-and-golden whirlpool started to shake, and the purple glow that shone across Heaven and Earth faded. The aura that had almost reached the Mystic Light Realm started to shake.


    "Wait, something''s wrong!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically.


    He suddenly realized that, because of the five peak Emperors from Nine Darkness Palace, everyone had forgotten about something. The main protagonist in the Duke''s Palace right now was Duke Nanfeng, who was trying to break through. The silver-haired Emperor and company, as well as Zhao Feng, were there to protect him.


    "Assassin~~~~!"


    "Protect my Lord!"


    A layer of darkness covered the area where Duke Nanfeng was in seclusion.


    "Arghhhh!" Several Kings around the secret chamber where Duke Nanfeng was in seclusion were cut into pieces by the darkness before they were able to get close.


    "Kekeke¡­. Duke Nanfeng, your breakthrough ends here," a cold voice resounded across the chamber.


    Duke Nanfeng sat within the chamber, and a sacred glow radiated around him. A male in darkness appeared behind him.


    Shua!


    A sword similar to the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger appeared in the man''s hand, and he stabbed it into Duke Nanfeng''s back.


    Wah!


    Duke Nanfeng''s body stiffened as he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face became pale-white.


    He turned around and glanced at the male in darkness with shock. There was a thin layer of dark scales on the male''s surface. He had a slim figure, as if he had no bone structure. He was not a human.


    "Zhe zhe, the experts in your palace exceeded my expectations. Without Nine Darkness Palace''s interference, my mission to assassinate you wouldn''t have proceeded so smoothly."


    The male in darkness pulled out the sword.


    Duke Nanfeng groaned as his body shook. Blood didn''t come out from the injury on his body; instead, a disgusting and smelly black smoke started to appear.

 890 Supreme Emperor Dark Nigh

    Chapter 890 - Supreme Emperor Dark Night


    "Quick, go help Duke Nanfeng!"


    The silver-haired elder and company charged toward Duke Nanfeng''s location with regret and panic. Due to the five peak Emperors from Nine Darkness Palace, everyone had forgotten about the guy who was breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm. They never would have thought that there would be an assassin other than Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo of Nine Darkness Palace.


    "There''s not enough time¡­!" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped when he saw the scene in the underground secret chamber with his left eye.


    At this moment, the mysterious male in darkness had already pulled out the sword from Duke Nanfeng''s body, causing even more damage. Duke Nanfeng''s injuries didn''t bleed; a smelly black smoke appeared instead. It was obvious that the sword had a rare type of poison on it.


    Zhao Feng felt regretful and partially blamed himself. Duke Nanfeng had given the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly to him to take care of, and it could''ve been a great help for Duke Nanfeng.


    The main reason why Duke Nanfeng had introduced the other three Emperors to Zhao Feng was so that they could all protect the Duke''s Palace together in case any accidents happened. In normal situations, no one would dare to take action against Duke Nanfeng on the surface, and yet this had happened.


    In the underground chamber:


    "You''re the assassin ranked 29th in the Black Screen Corner, Supreme Emperor Dark Night¡­!" Duke Nanfeng''s body swayed. His face was white as despair and bitterness filled his eyes.


    "That''s right, I''m Supreme Emperor Dark Night, but I''m now ranked 25th. Half a month ago, I participated in assassinating a heavily-injured Sacred Lord, so my rank has gone up."


    The male in darkness gave a confident smile. It was as if he already had victory in his grasp, and he gave an interested look toward Zhao Feng''s direction after pulling out the sword.


    Zhao Feng felt a sense of coldness and danger in that gaze.


    "Get the assassin!" The silver-haired elder and the other Emperor were the first to arrive at Duke Nanfeng''s underground chamber, but an attack had already arrived before the two could do anything.


    Boom!


    A half-transparent dark purple eye flame and an aura of God Tribulation Lightning thundered toward Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    "Argh!" The male in darkness gave a scream as his body shattered.


    "What a powerful eye-bloodline technique!" The silver-haired elder and company all took in a cold breath, and they couldn''t help but look toward Zhao Feng who hadn''t even arrived yet.


    The eye flame just now exerted great pressure on the two Emperors.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically after using his eye-bloodline. The sense of danger that Supreme Emperor Dark Night gave him was even above Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s. How could he be killed so easily?


    Hu~~ Shua!


    A male with a pair of bat wings appeared in the sky far away from the Duke''s Palace. He was surrounded in darkness, and surprise appeared in his eyes.


    "Supreme Emperor Dark Night!" The expressions of the silver-haired elder and other experts of the Duke''s Palace changed dramatically.


    Almost no one had seen how Supreme Emperor Dark Night retreated or completed the attack.


    "This Supreme Emperor Dark Night cultivates the bloodline sacred technique Eight-Winged Shadow Doppelganger technique and can split himself into several bodies, each with 30-40% battle-power of his original body. The one that has appeared right now might just be a doppelganger." Duke Nanfeng coughed as his face became even paler. It was obvious that he had heard of Supreme Emperor Dark Night before.


    "Zezeze, as expected of the Left Eyed heavenly Emperor of the Cang Ocean. However, you''re also a target of the Black Screen Corner. My next target might be you¡­." Supreme Emperor Dark Night looked playfully toward Zhao Feng as his wings flapped.


    Shua! Whoosh!


    With a flash of darkness, the bat-winged male merged into the sky and disappeared. In terms of speed, Supreme Emperor Dark Night wasn''t much slower than Zhao Feng at his peak, and he was even more agile.


    "What a terrifying assassin. What kind of existence is the Black Screen Corner?" Zhao Feng''s expression became solemn.


    Although Supreme Emperor Dark Night wasn''t a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord, his technique and bloodline had reached the limit of a peak Emperor; he had the battle-power of a Quasi Sacred Lord.


    There was also a suspicious point ¨C why did Supreme Emperor Dark Night leave immediately after one attack without finishing off Duke Nanfeng?


    "Being one of the top assassins of the Black Screen Corner, Supreme Emperor Dark Night always leaves after one blow. I''m thinking that his mission was only to stop me from breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, or else he wouldn''t have left me alive." Duke Nanfeng sighed.


    "My Lord, are you okay?" The other experts and guards of the Duke''s Palace arrived and blamed it on themselves.


    Zhao Feng looked at Duke Nanfeng''s injuries, and his eyebrows locked together.


    "It is very likely that I will die, so I''ll need to settle my will now¡­." Duke Nanfeng smiled bitterly as his aura became weaker and weaker.


    "My Lord!" The hearts of those present shook as they revealed unwilling expressions.


    Duke Nanfeng''s injuries were expanding and rotting. More and more black smoke rose from his body. Duke Nanfeng wasn''t able to stop this poison even with his strength.


    "I was stabbed by one of the seven great inheritance weapons of the Dao of Assassination ¨C the Sky Awakening Piercer. It contains the Black Fountain Poison of Black Screen Corner. This poison takes effect extremely quickly, and no one below the Mystic Light Realm is likely to suppress it unless they''ve cultivated an undying body or something similar, and even then, they''ll only be able to live a little longer."


    Duke Nanfeng''s aura of life was starting to fade away, and his gaze was starting to become empty.


    Zhao Feng inspected it with his God''s Spiritual Eye and saw that the poison was eroding the soul as well as the physical body. Even Zhao Feng felt troubled against the Black Fountain Poison. After all, he wasn''t a doctor.


    The others didn''t know what to know. There were doctors in the Duke''s Palace, but they wouldn''t be able to do anything for Duke Nanfeng.


    "Let me try something." Zhao Feng stood forward, and a cold pond that radiated a freezing Intent could be faintly seen in his left eye.


    "Eye of Ice Soul!" Zhao Feng''s left eye released a cold Intent that covered and froze Duke Nanfeng''s soul.


    Duke Nanfeng was still conscious, but he knew that Zhao Feng was helping him, so he didn''t block it.


    Shu~~


    Duke Nanfeng''s soul was soon covered by a cold Intent, and the Black Fountain Poison''s erosion slowed dramatically.


    Zhao Feng''s goal was very clear ¨C he wanted to save Duke Nanfeng''s soul. The soul was the basis of everything. Those that had reached the Void God Realm could use their soul to take over another body or construct a new one with some treasures.


    Zhao Feng then started to analyze the Black Fountain Poison within Duke Nanfeng''s body.


    The Black Fountain Poison was extremely unique; it was an item that existed between the physical dimension and the void. It didn''t affect normal physical items or True Yuan, but it was extremely lethal against life and souls. If one was poisoned by this, their physical body and soul would rot.


    To stop this erosion, Zhao Feng circulated his Ice Water bloodline and the Ice Imperial Spear to seal Duke Nanfeng''s body in ice.


    "Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly¡­." Duke Nanfeng managed to murmur before fainting.


    Zhao Feng understood. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had many supportive abilities; its pollen could be used to attack enemies, but it could also be used as an antidote for some poisons.


    The little thieving cat and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly soon arrived.


    Hu~~


    Seeing that its owner was poisoned, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly immediately spat out a mouthful of pure white pollen over Duke Nanfeng. Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Ice Water bloodline to let the white pollen merge into Duke Nanfeng''s body and soul.


    Zhao Feng could feel that the poison in Duke Nanfeng''s body was only becoming slightly weaker. It looked like the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly could only delay Duke Nanfeng''s death.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws at Zhao Feng.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng seemed to understand and summoned more than a dozen Five Poison Distinct Bees from the Misty Spatial World.


    The Five Poison Distinct Bees could extract all kinds of pollen, including toxic pollen.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng waved his hand, and the dozens of elite bees started to extract the poison from Duke Nanfeng.


    A couple breaths later:


    Shu~~


    One of the Five Poison Distinct Bees turned into a puddle of black water and died after extracting for a while.


    "Hmm? It seems to be effective." Zhao Feng revealed a weird expression.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly and his ice seal could only delay the inevitable, but after the death of one of the Five Poison Distinct Bees, there seemed to be a bit less Black Fountain Poison in Duke Nanfeng''s body.


    The other bees on Duke Nanfeng''s body died one after the other.


    In order to use their full potential, Zhao Feng even sent out a Bee King to lead several elite bees onto Duke Nanfeng''s body.


    Time passed by slowly, and the color of Duke Nanfeng''s face became better with the death of each Five Poison Distinct Bee.


    It could be said that they were trading one life for another. Zhao Feng didn''t expect that the Five Poison Distinct Bees could use their "suicidal" abilities here.


    Zhao Feng also seemed to remember something else, and he took out some white petals of a Green Water Sky Lotus from the Misty Spatial World.


    Weng~ Bo~~


    A calm and cool layer of white light surrounded the petal. Zhao Feng crushed it and squeezed out the juice as he gave it to Duke Nanfeng.


    "Petal of the Green Water Sky Lotus?" Duke Nanfeng revealed a joyful expression.


    He had heard of the Green Water Sky Lotus before. The petals of this lotus were useful for many things. They could cleanse the body and soul as well as increase one''s state of existence. It also had the ability to get rid of poison.


    After drinking the juice, a faint layer of white light glittered within Duke Nanfeng''s body and then covered his body like a blooming flower. Adding this with the Five Poisonous Distinct Bees'' efforts, the Black Fountain Poison was quickly removed.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. If Duke Nanfeng had died, he would''ve felt quite guilty. After all, he was the one that had attracted the five peak Emperors from Nine Darkness Palace, and he had fought with Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo for a long time. If this wasn''t the case, then Supreme Emperor Dark Night would have met a lot more resistance when taking action.


    "Zhao Feng, thank you. You also need to watch out and be careful since you''re also on Black Screen Corner''s list."


    Duke Nanfeng looked at Zhao Feng, then sent him a private message with his Divine Sense, "Be careful. Supreme Emperor Dark Night might come back once more and assassinate you while you''re not on guard."

 891 Battle power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord

    Chapter 891 - Battle-Power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord


    "A second assassination?" Zhao Feng paused for a moment before laughing. "I hope that he''ll come back."


    He had a rough estimate of Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s strength; it was about the same level as Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo, but he specialized in assassination. He had the ability to kill Emperors at the same level as himself in one blow, but he wasn''t quite as good in a head-on fight. If Zhao Feng was prepared for it, then all assassins would be countered by his eye-bloodline.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t underestimate Supreme Emperor Dark Night. He''s ranked extremely high amongst the assassins of Black Screen Corner, and he has a high bounty. From his rank, Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s is at least an unrivalled Emperor with battle-power close to a Quasi-Sacred Lord." Duke Nanfeng shook his head and warned. While he was in seclusion, he was ambushed by Supreme Emperor Dark Night, so he knew how strong the latter was.


    Quasi-Sacred Lord? Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed.


    He knew that different places had different names for each rank. In the Cang Ocean, peak Emperors were unparalleled below the Mystic Light Realm. However, in the lord dynasty, there were still some specific ranks between peak Emperors and Sacred Lords.


    Void God Realm Emperors were split into four tiers:


    The first was normal Emperors such as Emperor Mu Yun and the Cold Moon Emperor.


    The second was peak Emperors such as Duanmu Qing.


    The third was unrivalled Emperors such as Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo.


    What was worth noting was that the Emperor of Death was around the level of an unrivalled Emperor. Some of his forbidden techniques made even Sacred Lords wary, but there was no specific rank for this in the Cang Ocean.


    However, the Emperor of Death''s Soul Dao techniques and Eye of Death were countered by Zhao Feng, which is what allowed Zhao Feng to win. Those same techniques also allowed him to survive for so long against Zhao Feng since he was familiar with the Soul Dao, which is why it took Zhao Feng so long to kill him. If it were any other unrivalled Emperor, Zhao Feng might''ve been the one to lose.


    Apart from those three, there was a fourth tier ¨C Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    Quasi-Sacred Lord battle-power was at the level of Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords; one''s Intent, power, or some other aspect needed to be comparable to a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord. The difference was that they hadn''t actually become a Sacred Lord yet.


    The tier Duke Nanfeng assumed Supreme Emperor Dark Night to be was an unrivalled Emperor who was close to a Quasi-Sacred Lord. In other words, between tiers three and four.


    Of course, this was just about battle-power; cultivation didn''t come into play much.


    "If that''s really the case, then Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s strength has surpassed the Emperor of Death, Emperor Xuan Luo, and me." Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled.


    According to the measurement of battle-power, Zhao Feng had surpassed peak Emperors and was comparable to an unrivalled Emperor. Granted, when he fought with Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo, he only used his Sacred Lightning Body, not his eye-bloodline or any Soul techniques. One thing was for sure though ¨C Zhao Feng''s strength hadn''t reached the stage of a Quasi-Sacred Lord. The strength of his soul, power, and Intent all had obvious differences.


    This meant that experts with the battle-power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord would be a great threat to Zhao Feng.


    "I was just half a step away from breaking through, but at least I managed to live. As long as I recover, I''ll have the battle-power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord." Duke Nanfeng sighed.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng and the silver-haired elder were both surprised.


    Zhao Feng felt that the aura of the power within Duke Nanfeng''s body was half a level higher than Emperors, and the Intent from his eyes had also surpassed peak Emperors. This was because Duke Nanfeng was about to break through, but he was stopped when he was almost killed by Supreme Emperor Dark Night. Now that he had survived, his battle-power would be comparable to a Sacred Lord as long as he recovered.


    "My Lord, great fortune comes after great misfortune." The silver-haired elder and company all congratulated, but Duke Nanfeng''s expression was slightly grim. He had been extremely close to breaking through with the help of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s Origin Pollen.


    However, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly could only give out a certain amount of Origin Pollen each time, and it took at least one hundred years to regenerate. This meant that he wasn''t guaranteed to break through in his next attempt.


    Furthermore, there was a weird rule when trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm; once someone failed, the chances of breaking through in the future would be become lower. Apparently, this was because part of one''s soul and life would be expended when trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm. Once one failed, it couldn''t be replenished.


    Therefore, any Emperor that tried to breakthrough to the Mystic Light Realm would be extremely cautious. No one would make an attempt unless they were absolutely confident. This also meant that treasures that could increase the chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm were extremely rare and were something that the big forces of the lord dynasty would fight over.


    Only Zhao Feng saw the slight change in Duke Nanfeng''s expression.


    I still have ten portions of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey remaining. It''ll be best if I leave three for myself for the Sacred Lightning Body and breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, Zhao Feng planned.


    As he became stronger, he realized just how valuable the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey was.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that he had the Misty Spatial World, he wouldn''t have dared to even attempt stealing the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey in Xie Yang Palace, and even then, the journey was extremely dangerous.


    Within the secret cultivation chamber, Zhao Feng, the silver-haired, and company all protected Duke Nanfeng for four or five days. This was the silver-haired elder''s suggestion for in case Supreme Emperor Dark Night returned. Since Duke Nanfeng hadn''t recovered yet, his battle-power was only comparable to a normal Emperor, so he needed some protection until he recovered.


    Zhao Feng felt a bit guilty. After all, he had caused a lot of destruction in the Duke''s Palace.


    Over the last four or five days, Duke Nanfeng focused on recovering. In this period of time, Supreme Emperor Dark Night didn''t return. Even without so many experts gathered together, Supreme Emperor Dark Night wouldn''t return anyway since he had his rule of only attacking once.


    "My Lord, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly is about to completely recover."


    Before he left, Zhao Feng waved his hand and gave the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly to the silver-haired elder.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly nudged each other with unwillingness.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng had a thought ¨C could he exchange something for the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly? However, thinking about it, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and had strong supportive capabilities. How could Duke Nanfeng possibly agree? Duke Nanfeng might not exchange it even if Zhao Feng took out the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had the same value to Duke Nanfeng as the little thieving cat did to Zhao Feng.


    "This Zhao Feng¡­" Duke Nanfeng looked in the direction where Zhao Feng left.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly in his hands seemed to really like Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat. Duke Nanfeng could also tell how enticing the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was to Zhao Feng.


    "My Lord, Black Screen Corner is one of the three big organizations of the underworld, but they are neutral. Who would hire them?" The silver-haired elder couldn''t help but ask.


    One could guess that it was someone in the Royal Court. There were several factions within the Royal Court, and the various princes were in charge of them.


    At the moment, there were only a few princes that had the ability to fight for the throne, and each one had a strong force behind them.


    "I''ve always stayed neutral, but a while ago, the Eighth Prince came to visit me. Some people don''t want me to break through and affect the balance of the Great Gan Royal Court." Duke Nanfeng took a deep breath as his eyebrows furrowed. The internal battles between the Great Gan Imperials were extremely complex, so he didn''t have a sure answer either.


    Zhao Feng entered a building with a garden in the Duke''s Palace. Within the building, Zhao Feng waved his hand, and a large multi-colored sticky rice dumpling appeared.


    The sticky rice dumpling was struggling, but there wasn''t much energy to it.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye saw through the sticky rice dumpling and saw the pretty female in dark green robes within.


    If Zhao Feng had wanted to kill her, she wouldn''t have been able to live till now. After Nine Darkness Palace''s attack, Zhao Feng wanted to leave one person alive so he could question them.


    The aura of this female in dark green was different from the other four peak Emperors, so Zhao Feng decided to let her live. Of course, Zhao Feng wasn''t nice to his enemies.


    "Gaze¡­ of¡­ the¡­ God''s¡­ Eye!"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye released a surge of purple eye-bloodline power that formed a purple whirlpool. A forbidden energy of the Soul Dao filled the air.


    "Not good!"


    Within the sticky rice dumpling, Bi Qingyue shook as her heart went cold. Her soul was covered by a cold power, and she wasn''t able to stop her soul from leaving her body.


    If she was at her peak, she would have had the ability to fight back, but she was severely injured and still affected by the Dream Pollen, so her battle-power was dramatically weakened.


    In just a breath or two, the female''s Yuan Soul was pulled out.


    "No¡­!" Bi Qingyue felt as if the Soul power was like a god that couldn''t be resisted.


    Shua!


    With a flash, Bi Qingyue''s soul was sucked into the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye. After entering the dimension of his left eye, Zhao Feng could do anything with Bi Qingyue''s soul.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng first circulated some God Tribulation Lightning and thundered it onto Bi Qingyue''s soul.


    Bi Qingyue''s soul almost fainted.


    "Dark Heart Seal!"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye started to construct a purple seal of lightning that had the aura of God Tribulation Lightning, and he imprinted it within the depths of Bi Qingyue''s soul.


    The reason he took Bi Qingyue''s soul into the dimension of his left eye was to increase the rate of success of the Dark Heart Seal. After all, the latter was a peak Emperor, so her soul was strong.


    "I''m begging you¡­ don''t¡­." Bi Qingyue''s consciousness was on the verge of fainting, and she even wanted to commit suicide, but in the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye, she had no control over herself.


    A couple breaths later, Zhao Feng''s Dark Heart Seal had imprinted itself into the depths of Bi Qingyue''s soul.


    Shua!


    With a thought, Bi Qingyue''s soul went back to her body.


    Half a day later:


    "Master, I''m called Bi Qingyue, and I''m the Pavilion Master of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. I''m responsible for the information near the oceans for Nine Darkness Palace¡­."


    A quiet and holy female half-knelt in front of Zhao Feng.

 892 Excelling in all Aspects

    Chapter 892 - Excelling in all Aspects


    "Master, I''m called Bi Qingyue, and I''m the Pavilion Master of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. I''m responsible for the information near the oceans for Nine Darkness Palace¡­."


    The female was surrounded by a layer of moonlight and had a pure aura, as if she was a goddess under the moon.


    No one would expect this half-kneeling beauty to be a peak Emperor and the leader of a two-star power.


    "Ocean Smoke Pavilion? Tell me about it." Zhao Feng revealed a surprised and joyful expression.


    Bi Qingyue''s identity exceeded what he had imagined; she was actually the Pavilion Master of a two-star force. She was also much younger than most Emperors but had the battle-power of a peak Emperor. From this, one could see that she was talented.


    Bi Qingyue obediently started to talk about the Ocean Smoke Pavilion while Zhao Feng listened and started to form a plan.


    The Ocean Smoke Pavilion had existed for several dozens of millennia. When it started, it wasn''t a force that focused on cultivation, but one that collected information. This information agency then started to recruit more members, and it became a rising two-star power.


    However, the timing of their rise was unlucky; when they were trying to expand, they met Nine Darkness Palace, which was trying to revive. Nine Darkness Palace was the leading Demonic Dao force of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. It was once a four-star power, and it wanted to return to its glory days.


    "¡­just a couple dozen years ago, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion became a subordinate force of Nine Darkness Palace. There''s about ten more forces similar to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion that are also subordinate forces of Nine Darkness Palace," Bi Qingyue recalled.


    In reality, after being threatened by Nine Darkness Palace to become one of its subordinate forces, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion became stronger due to the support it received. Furthermore, as the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan became weaker and lost control over the area, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was closer to becoming a peak two-star force.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but click his tongue when he heard that. Even though they weren''t a four-star power anymore, Nine Darkness Palace still managed to reach all the way out here.


    An information agency was just what Zhao Feng needed right now.


    "How is your control over the Ocean Smoke Pavilion?" Zhao Feng questioned.


    The leader having the battle-power of a peak Emperor meant that her two-star force was an elite amongst the other two-star powers.


    "Nine Darkness Palace focuses on the middle-northern regions of the continent, so I have about 60-70% control over the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. There are some experts and spies of Nine Darkness Palace though."


    Bi Qingyue revealed a weird look as she guessed what Zhao Feng was trying to say. It wasn''t hard to guess what Zhao Feng wanted, but after being enslaved by the Dark Heart Seal, Bi Qingyue obeyed everything.


    "I want you to go back to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and clean out the poison that is Nine Darkness Palace. From now on, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion will exist to serve me¡­." Zhao Feng said emotionlessly as the plan in his heart became clearer.


    From the very beginning of his cultivation, Zhao Feng was always being protected by other forces.


    When he was in the Martial Path, he was a member of Sun Feather City''s Zhao Family. He then entered the Broken Moon Clan with the help of Lord Guanjun. From there, Flooding Lake City¡­ the Iron Blood Religion¡­ the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    Even now, Zhao Feng was being protected by the Duke''s Palace, which was because Duke Nanfeng''s identity was unique, preventing normal forces from taking action on the surface.


    "I can''t go to the Duanmu Family right now. Besides, I''ve already sent a letter to the Duanmu Family, and Yufei met me in the Divine Illusion Dimension¡­."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes were calm. Whenever he wasn''t being chased by someone, he was being protected by other forces. Now, he wanted to create his own superpower.


    "I will make this force spread across Heaven and Earth and rule the world. In the future, no one will be able to threaten anyone that''s related to me¡­!"


    Zhao Feng''s desire became stronger.


    Creating his own force was extremely beneficial. For example, finding resources or scouting out secret dimensions.


    "Yes, Master. I will do as you wish, but I can''t guarantee there won''t be any resistance in the process," Bi Qingyue said carefully.


    Through the Dark Heart Seal, she could feel how ambitious Zhao Feng was.


    "I will go with you to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and help deal with everything there. Although Nine Darkness Palace is strong, they can''t send too many people here."


    Zhao Feng was very confident.


    The place where they were right now was hardly the center of the lord dynasty. It could be said that Zhao Feng hadn''t even entered the inner region of the continent yet.


    Hearing that, Bi Qingyue relaxed. With Zhao Feng''s strength, not many people below the Mystic Light Realm would be able to threaten the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Zhao Feng didn''t immediately leave for the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. Instead, he cultivated quietly in the Duke''s Palace for a while. Bi Qingyue''s and Duke Nanfeng''s injuries hadn''t completely healed yet, and Zhao Feng had comprehended some things in his fight and wanted to consolidate his cultivation.


    Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.


    Within a chamber in the building, Zhao Feng suddenly opened his eyes as a divine Intent flashed through them, giving everyone a feeling that lightning and thunder were booming.


    Weng~~


    One thousand and three hundred symbols of God Tribulation Lighting in his purple Soul Sea flashed. These God Tribulation Lightning symbols gave off an immortal and undying aura that could counter everything in the word.


    Very good. I now have 50% more God Tribulation Lightning than my previous life, and I can control it much better.


    A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    Of course, what he absorbed was just the remnant power of a failed God Tribulation, and it was probably just a dot in comparison to the real God Tribulation Lightning. The combined force of these symbols might not even be one hundredth the total amount of one bolt of God Tribulation Lightning.


    After all, the head was just a container for the lightning that had been sitting there for many years. It was already a miracle that Zhao Feng could absorb any God Tribulation Lightning into his soul.


    At this moment, there was about 50% of the God Tribulation Lightning remaining in the head.


    Zhao Feng didn''t need to just absorb the God Tribulation Lightning, he also needed to comprehend it. That way, he could increase the rate of its recovery, and perhaps even learn to form it himself.


    Zhao Feng finally exited seclusion after half a month.


    Duke Nanfeng''s injuries had almost completely healed by now. Although he didn''t manage to break through to the Mystic Light Realm, he was much stronger than before.


    Zhao Feng told him that he was leaving for a while, then left.


    "That''s weird; why is Zhao Feng leaving? Is he not scared of Nine Darkness Palace?" Duke Nanfeng revealed a weird expression, but after thinking about it, as long as Zhao Feng didn''t meet a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord, he had nothing to worry about.


    A while later, Zhao Feng flew out of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone and headed toward the limitless ocean.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng raised his hand, and Bi Qingyue came out of the Misty Spatial World. At the same time, he also took out the flaming chariot that he had obtained in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    The flaming chariot was even faster in the limitless ocean, and with the substandard God crystal propelling it, its speed had reached the level of an Emperor. The important thing was that this chariot could fly steadily without any True Yuan from the driver, and it also had a protective barrier around it.


    Bi Qingyue stood on the chariot and controlled where it went.


    Her face was filled with surprise. She had stayed in Zhao Feng''s Misty Spatial World for a while and was stunned by it. She didn''t expect Zhao Feng to have a substandard God item or such a large amount of resources. Maybe the resources she had seen were just a part of Zhao Feng''s total wealth.


    Just a portion of those resources could allow the Ocean Smoke Pavilion to expand rapidly, and maybe it could even rule the ocean. Bi Qingyue took in a deep breath.


    Although she had been enslaved by Zhao Feng, she still had her own thoughts. The Dark Heart Seal had been perfected time after time, and in order to even use it, one needed to have something similar to the God''s Spiritual Eye. Others wouldn''t be able to use it, or if they could, it would require a massive price.


    On the journey, Zhao Feng sat down and cultivated while Bi Qingyue led the way.


    This area was linked to the Nanlin Sea, the Xiwu Sea, the Dongchuan Sea, and some other places.


    Half a month was needed even with the speed of the flaming chariot. In this period of time, Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and multi-tasked.


    He kept cultivating his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. One day, Zhao Feng''s Wood of Wind Lightning reached the peak of the 7th level.


    After this was the Fire of Wind Lightning, which contained extreme offense.


    Zhao Feng had started cultivating the Dao of Fire Lightning in his previous life when he cultivated the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning, which had surpassed the Wind Lightning Emperor''s original technique.


    "The 7th level corresponds to the King level while the 8th level and onward starts to correspond to Emperors, Quasi-Sacred Lords, and Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords."


    Zhao Feng could feel that his Wood of Wind Lightning had reached a limit. A couple days later, Zhao Feng''s aura rose once more.


    "Middle stages of the Void God Realm."


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. It was within his expectations to break through to the middle stages of the Void God Realm right now. At this rate, he would be able to become a true Emperor within another six months.


    As of right now, after recovering to the middle stages of the Void God Realm, Zhao Feng now exceeded his previous life in all aspects.


    Zhao Feng biggest card was the God Tribulation Lightning. He had absorbed more of it and he could use it much better than his previous life. In terms of his soul, after being continuously refined by God Tribulation Lightning, it was even more condensed. As for his Emperor Intent, it also surpassed his previous life due to containing more God Tribulation Lightning.


    The only thing that hadn''t improved was his God''s Spiritual Eye. It was slightly regretful that his God''s Spiritual Eye hadn''t evolved after such a long time, but according to previous experience, Zhao Feng could feel that he was slowly approaching the "point of evolution."


    "Master, we''re almost at the Ocean Smoke Pavilion," a soft voice sounded next to his ears as the speed of the flaming chariot started to decrease.


    "We''re here?"


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath as he glanced toward the island covered in mist. It was much larger than the Azure Flower Continent.


    At this instant, he was looking forward to it, and he was even slightly nervous. Whether he could rule the ocean or not depended on this first step.

 893 Ocean Smoke Pavilion

    Chapter 893 - Ocean Smoke Pavilion


    The island zone where the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was located was the Misty Moon Island Zone. This island zone was extremely unique, and it was very rural. There weren''t many islands nearby.


    Although the Misty Moon Island Zone hadn''t reached the level of the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, this place was very rich, and it was about twice as large as the Azure Flower Continent. Around the Misty Moon Island Zone were more than a dozen places similar to the Eight Desolate Mountain, which each had their different resources.


    All of this was under the control of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. After all, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was a peak two-star power and had Nine Darkness Palace behind it.


    "The advantage of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion''s location is that there aren''t many powerful island zones nearby, so it''s a good place to expand." Bi Qingyue gave a faint smile.


    Any force would be able to expand steadily in such a rich environment with not many strong enemies nearby.


    "This place is too safe, so it''s not competitive enough, but it''s a good place to start conquering the oceans." Zhao Feng was satisfied.


    He had always lived in a competitive environment since he was young, which was one of the reasons why he could increase his strength by leaps and bounds.


    "Master is correct." Bi Qingyue smiled and didn''t disagree. "But the Ocean Smoke Pavilion is also an information agency, and many of the members are spread out abroad. Those that manage to survive are all elites."


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng was surprised. Although Bi Qingyue would obey him no matter what due to the Dark Heart Seal, she had her own independent thoughts. She would have her own perspectives; she wasn''t just a machine.


    From the looks of it, the Dark Heart Seal exceeded his expectations after he had perfected it time after time. Originally, he wanted to perfect it because he wanted the target to preserve their potential, and in order to do that, the target must retain their own individual thoughts and not become a complete doll.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Bi Qingyue soon entered the Misty Moon Island Zone on the flaming chariot


    As the ruler of the Misty Moon Island Zone, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was located in a heaven-like place. The air above was covered in a misty array, and one could see buildings one after another inside. The size of the place was close to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    "This is the main headquarters of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, and it''s similar to cultivation-based forces. The real net of information is spread all over the place, and the different training grounds are in the nearby smaller zones¡­." Bi Qingyue introduced.


    Zhao Feng knew that the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was a half-cultivation, half-information-agency force. The main headquarters of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was similar to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and it supplied new disciples. After that, the disciples would be sent to different training grounds depending on their strength, talent, and potential.


    This process was rare to see in the lord dynasty.


    Sou! Sou!


    On the way to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, the two met the occasional member of the pavilion.


    "Greetings, Pavilion Master."


    Those that called out were at least at the Great Origin Core Realm. They were curious about Zhao Feng who was next to Bi Qingyue, but they didn''t say anything.


    Bi Qingyue soon led Zhao Feng to a quiet and elegant building next to a lake. This building was at the very center of the Water Transverse Sacred Land, and it was Bi Qingyue''s personal building.


    "Master, are you satisfied with living here?" Bi Qingyue asked respectfully.


    "Not bad." Zhao Feng was a bit surprised that Bi Qingyue let him stay where she stayed.


    Zhao Feng realized that there were some changes to the Dark Heart Seal after it was perfected and decided to pay some attention to it while living here.


    "Master, you''re back!"


    Right at this moment, a girl about eighteen years old wearing a green dress flew over. Her face seem to come out of a painting, and it gave a refreshing and pure feeling.


    Even Zhao Feng, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was faintly stunned. This made him think of Zhao Yufei and Liu Qinxin.


    While he was recalling his memories, Zhao Feng''s eyes landed on the girl, and he gave off the impression that he was dazzled by her beauty. The girl in green seemed to be used to such a thing, and she felt slightly disdainful.


    She was curious about why her holy master had a male in her building.


    "Jie''er, come greet Senior Zhao," Bi Qingyue quickly said and signaled to the girl in green. She also saw the "dazzled" look when Zhao Feng''s eyes landed on her disciple and was slightly worried.


    "Senior Zhao?" The girl revealed a surprised look of doubt and disbelief, but she couldn''t go against the orders of her master. She bowed unwillingly toward Zhao Feng; "Disciple Zhan Jie greets Senior Zhao."


    Zhao Feng inspected Zhan Jie''er. Her age was similar to Zhao Yufei''s, and she had just broken through to the Void God Realm. She was extremely talented.


    "My disciple came out of the Divine Illusion Dimension a few months ago and was quite lucky, managing to break through to the Void God Realm not long ago, but compared to Mas¡­ my Lord, it''s like the difference between the clouds and mud," Bi Qingyue explained with a smile.


    She noticed how Zhao Feng was looking at Zhan Jie''er and changed "Master" to "My Lord."


    "My¡­''my Lord''?"


    Despite the change, Zhan Jie''er''s mouth fell wide open. She was the number one beauty amongst the juniors of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and she was extremely talented as well, but in her master''s eyes, she couldn''t be compared to this youth?


    Could this youth be from Nine Darkness Palace? But even then, what kind of identity does he have for Master to call him like that? Zhan Jie''er''s thoughts spun, but she couldn''t imagine why her master, a peak Emperor in charge of a two-star power, would refer to Zhao Feng that way. Even if he was a prince, he shouldn''t warrant such a title.


    "May I ask what this senior''s name is?" Zhan Jie''er finally took back her underestimations and glanced at the smiling purple-haired youth that seemed to be surrounded in mist. She became more and more curious as to the identity of this youth.


    Zhao Feng didn''t reply to her question. He suddenly remembered something before speaking to Bi Qingyue, "We should act as soon as possible or else the bastards of Nine Darkness Palace will figure out my identity and run away."


    "I forgot about this." Bi Qingyue revealed a guilty expression. It wasn''t much of a secret that Zhao Feng was the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor who had slain several peak Emperors and defeated Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo.


    Bi Qingyue immediately gave out the orders.


    "Give the order to lock down the entire pavilion. No one can leave, they can only enter. Kill all that defy this."


    Bi Qingyue first sealed the main headquarters of the entire Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    This order was soon carried out. Being the only peak Emperor of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, Bi Qingyue''s control over it was extremely strong.


    She personally looked over the entire lockdown.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Some of the upper echelon members of the Water Transverse Sacred Land were alarmed and flew into the air to meet with Bi Qingyue.


    "Pavilion Master, what happened? Why did you initiate a lockdown?"


    "This hasn''t happened in the Water Transverse Sacred Land for at least a couple dozen years."


    These upper echelon members discussed with one another.


    Bi Qingyue didn''t reply. She just waited for the lockdown to finish. She then gave the order for all the upper echelon members to gather.


    "Anyone that is a half-step King or higher, come to the Sea Sky Palace."


    Bi Qingyue''s orders were sent down one after another. No one went against her, but since no one knew the reason, a tense atmosphere was starting to spread across the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Zhan Jie''er realized that this tense atmosphere was because of the mysterious purple-haired youth.


    The upper echelon of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion soon gathered at the Sea Sky Palace. Bi Qingyue sat at the very front of the palace, but there was a purple-haired youth leaning on the corner of a wall behind her.


    The youth leaning lazily on the wall stood out in this tense atmosphere. Many of the upper echelon members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion looked at this mysterious youth with curiosity, while a small amount of people looked at this purple-haired youth with puzzled eyes.


    There were about nine Void God Realm experts from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion present. This wasn''t their total amount though since some were spread out elsewhere.


    However, three Demonic auras were extremely obvious amongst these upper echelon members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. These three Demonic auras came from one Void God Realm Emperor and two Kings.


    "Bi Qingyue, why did you call all of us here?" The Demonic Dao Emperor snickered coldly as his demonic power made the entire Sea Sky Palace shake.


    While others respected Bi Qingyue''s strength, this Demonic Dao Emperor didn''t. This was an Emperor sent here by Nine Darkness Palace. Simply put, this Emperor was here to oversee the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    "From today onward, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion will officially leave Nine Darkness Palace."


    Bi Qingyue didn''t bother with the Demonic Dao Emperor as her cold voice rang across the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    The Ocean Smoke Pavilion instantly became dead-silent, then the members of Nine Darkness Palace that were here roared in anger.


    "Bi Qingyue, how dare you betray Nine Darkness Palace!?"


    "Hmph, you just want to destroy the Ocean Smoke Pavilion¡­!"


    The Demonic Dao Emperor and other experts of Nine Darkness Palace growled. Apart from that, there were also some others that were close with Nine Darkness Palace that blamed Bi Qingyue.


    Bi Qingyue and Zhao Feng looked at each other as they remembered everyone that questioned her just now. The owners of these voices were either from Nine Darkness Palace or close to it.


    Is Master not scared of Nine Darkness Palace¡­? Zhan Jie''er in the green dress was dazed. How would Bi Qingyue not know the consequences of betraying Nine Darkness Palace?


    Could Bi Qingyue have something to rely on for her to make this decision? The Demonic Dao Emperor and the other experts of Nine Darkness Palace had cold eyes as they looked toward the silent purple-haired youth in the corner of the hall. They didn''t know why, but this youth gave them a familiar feeling even though they had never seen him before.

 894 Bi Qingyue’s Reques

    Chapter 894 - Bi Qingyue''s Request


    "Who is that mysterious youth? Why do I feel that he''s so familiar?"


    "He seems to be a bit similar to the person in our report¡­."


    It wasn''t just the Demonic Dao Emperor and those from Nine Darkness Palace that looked at Zhao Feng. Even some of the other upper echelon members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion looked at him. The reason why Bi Qingyue changed so suddenly was most likely related to this youth.


    "Purple-haired youth? Such a young Void God Realm King."


    "Could he be¡­ the person that Nine Darkness Palace and Pavilion Master were supposed to kill?"


    The hearts of a few upper echelon members shook. They knew some information about Zhao Feng''s identity but weren''t certain.


    "Could it be him¡­!?"


    The expressions of the Demonic Dao Emperor and the other two Void God Realm Kings changed dramatically. Just this thought alone caused cold sweat to appear on their foreheads. Only a small number of people knew that Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo had been defeated by Zhao Feng.


    "''Him''? Who is he?"


    The change in the upper echelon members'' expressions fell into Zhan Jie''er''s eyes. Surprise flashed through her eyes as she suddenly realized that this purple-haired youth was similar to a certain genius that had recently risen in the Imperial Genius rankings.


    That genius also had purple hair and became famous after the Divine Illusion Dimension ended, but even if it was that youth, it still wasn''t enough for her master to change so much or change the Nine Darkness Palace members'' expressions so much.


    Of course, Zhan Jie''er didn''t know the information regarding the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor.


    "You''re Zhao Feng?" The Demonic Dao Emperor''s expression was solemn as he looked at the purple-haired youth in the corner. The two Kings on his left and right were also extremely wary.


    "Zhao Feng? So it is him?" Zhan Jie''er''s heart skipped a beat. "He became ranked 8th on the Imperial Genius rankings after the Divine Illusion Dimension, and apparently this ranking is still based on the fact that no one knows his true strength."


    Zhan Jie''er was also a genius that had come out of the Divine Illusion Dimension. Although she hadn''t entered Xie Yang Palace, she still managed to obtain great fortune. She was stunned when she heard about what happened in Xie Yang Palace. The danger and fortune she had experienced was nothing in comparison.


    When mentioning Xie Yang Palace, no one could ignore the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo. Apparently, they were the biggest winners of Xie Yang Palace. However, Zhan Jie''er didn''t know that Zhao Feng wasn''t just a junior ¨C he was also the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor.


    At this moment, she took a deep breath as she inspected the mysterious youth that only appeared in the rumors.


    "That''s right, I''m Zhao Feng."


    Zhao Feng finally inspected the three Void God Realm experts of Nine Darkness Palace. The only Emperor present wasn''t even a peak Emperor, so Zhao Feng wasn''t interested at all.


    "Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor Zhao Feng! Run~~~!"


    The trio''s expressions lost all color, and they tried to run without hesitation.


    This reaction stunned most of the other upper echelon members within the hall.


    "What''s going on¡­?" Zhan Jie''er was dazed. All Zhao Feng did was say his name, and the three Nine Darkness Palace members were scared witless.


    "Want to run?" Bi Qingyue snickered coldly and was about to take action.


    "Let me handle it," the purple-haired youth in the corner suddenly spoke.


    Bi Qingyue and the other upper echelon members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion had the ability to kill the three from Nine Darkness Palace, but it wouldn''t be easy. Furthermore, it would cause destruction.


    As soon as he spoke, divine light shot out from Zhao Feng''s eyes, and thunder seemed to boom across the soul-dimension.


    Boom! Boom!


    The divine light turned into two transparent beams of purple lightning that shot into the souls of the two Demonic Dao Kings.


    "Arghh!"


    "Arghh!"


    Two screams sounded in the soul-dimension, and the upper echelon of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion felt two King Yuan Souls die. Some Divine Senses even saw the souls of the two Demonic Dao Kings turn into ashes.


    Plop! Plop!


    Two perfectly unharmed bodies of two Demonic Dao Kings fell from the sky ¨C their souls were destroyed.


    Sii!


    The upper echelon members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion all took in cold breaths. Zhan Jie''er felt a coldness pass through the bottom of her feet and spread across her body until she hiccupped.


    Those two Demonic Dao Kings were both old Kings, and one of them was a Peak-tier King, but they couldn''t do anything against Zhao Feng. In just one gaze, he killed two Void God Realm Kings.


    "Terrifying¡­!" The Demonic Dao Emperor''s face was grey, and his guts almost shattered from fear.


    Zhao Feng looked at the Demonic Dao Emperor after killing the two Demonic Dao Kings with his Emperor Intent.


    Sou!


    The Demonic Dao Emperor sped out of the hall, and the upper echelon members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion couldn''t help but be slightly worried; the one that was escaping was an Emperor, and Zhao Feng didn''t seem to have any intention of chasing after him.


    "Gaze¡­ of¡­ the¡­ God''s¡­ Eye!"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye released a surge of purple eye-bloodline power that formed a whirlpool.


    The Demonic Dao Emperor felt a powerful Soul aura close in on him after flying out a short distance. The purple-haired youth''s eye-bloodline had already locked onto him.


    "Don''t-!"


    The Demonic Dao Emperor''s soul struggled as he fell into limitless coldness. It was as if he had been confined; he struggled with his utmost strength, but his soul was still slowly leaving his body.


    "This¡­ what kind of technique is this?"


    "This eye-bloodline technique is similar to that ancient Emperor of Death from the Cang Ocean."


    The upper echelon members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion within the hall were speechless.


    When one reached the Void God Realm, they could feel it when their soul left their body.


    Boom!


    An immortal and undying strike of lightning dazed the Demonic Dao Emperor, and his struggling ceased.


    A cold smile formed on Zhao Feng''s face.


    Shua!


    The next instant, the Demonic Dao Emperor''s soul left his body and finally turned into a black dot that was sucked into Zhao Feng''s purple whirlpool.


    Plop!


    The Demonic Dao Emperor''s body fell from the sky. At the same time, the soul of an Emperor appeared in the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    At this instant, the hall was dead-silent. The upper echelon members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion felt cold as they looked at the nightmare-like youth.


    "Thank you, Grand Elder," Bi Qingyue let out a long breath as she said respectfully.


    As a slave of Zhao Feng, she could feel just how terrifying he was. Back at the Duke''s Palace, Zhao Feng relied more on trickery to fight the peak Emperors; he didn''t even use his eye-bloodline.


    My Soul Sea now has more than a thousand symbols of God Tribulation Lightning. If I combine it with my Emperor Intent, even peak Emperors wouldn''t be able to last more than several breaths.


    Zhao Feng slowly opened his eyes. The Demonic Dao Emperor''s soul was being tortured in his Soul Sea.


    "Greetings¡­ Grand Elder?" The sound of greetings came from the upper echelon of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Grand Elder? Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed as he gave Bi Qingyue a deep glance.


    He wanted to control the Ocean Smoke Pavilion from the shadows, not as a member. It was obvious that Bi Qingyue was the one that wanted him to be the Grand Elder. This would mean that Zhao Feng was in the same boat.


    After all, Zhao Feng had slain a lot of experts from Nine Darkness Palace and made the Ocean Smoke Pavilion betray them. If he didn''t care about the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, then only death awaited them.


    "Oh well, I''ll be the Grand Elder then, but you can take care of all the problems." Zhao Feng sighed.


    Grand Elders had more power than the Pavilion Leader. This meant that Zhao Feng had become the person with the highest status in this two-star power.


    Miao miao!


    At this instant, the little thieving cat used the dark golden dragon snake whip and pulled the body of the Demonic Dao Emperor over.


    Shua!


    With a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng put the body of the Demonic Dao Emperor into the Misty Spatial World.


    For the next half a month, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion started a big purge; it killed all the experts and spies of Nine Darkness Palace.


    Zhao Feng never appeared afterward; he simply stayed in the building where Bi Qingyue lived. Zhao Feng didn''t realize that this made many people suspicious about the relationship between them since he was the first male to enter her place, let alone live there.


    On this day, Zhao Feng came out of seclusion. Bi Qingyue told him some core information about the Ocean Smoke Pavilion in case he needed to make some decisions later.


    The potential and strength of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion aren''t bad, but it isn''t enough to rule the seas¡­. Zhao Feng thought as he looked into the distance.


    Right at this moment, the figure of a pretty girl came into sight.


    "Grand Elder. Master."


    Zhan Jie''er bowed respectfully and didn''t dare to look into Zhao Feng''s eyes. She felt uneasy when she remembered the dazzled look Zhao Feng had when he first saw her.


    Bi Qingyue also remembered that scene very clearly and was worried that Zhao Feng would "take action" against her pure disciple. If Zhao Feng really wanted Zhan Ji''er, then no one in the Ocean Smoke Pavilion would be able to stop him. Bi Qingyue herself couldn''t go against Zhao Feng even if she wanted to.


    "Jie''er is full of potential. Raise her well," Zhao Feng said casually.


    Hearing that, Bi Qingyue''s heart shook. She thought that Zhao Feng was indeed thinking about Zhan Jie''er, but luckily, Zhao Feng didn''t have any unreasonable requests yet.


    Later that night, Zhao Feng sat down and observed the situation within the Misty Spatial World. The Demonic Dao Emperor within the Misty Spatial World had recovered and was now enslaved by Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng decided to give this Demonic Dao Emperor to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    "Master," a soft voice sounded from outside.


    "Hmm? Come in." Zhao Feng revealed a weird expression as he looked at Bi Qingyue in the doorway.


    Bi Qingyue was covered in snow-white and gave off a holy aura in the moonlight. At this moment in time, Bi Qingyue seemed to glow like the stars and the moon, and she looked like a goddess.


    "What is it?" Zhao Feng felt weird, but he didn''t hide the admiration he had for Bi Qingyue''s beauty.


    Zhii~~


    Bi Qingyue closed the door and bit her lips. "Qingyue has a request. I hope that Master will not touch Jie''er. If you want anything, I can do it for you."


    After saying that, the holy beauty unbuttoned her clothes and revealed snow-white skin that was enough to make one''s nose leak blood. Her long legs were extremely attractive.


    Hu~ Shua!


    With the unbuttoning of her clothes, Zhao Feng could see her shoulders and breasts. When the dress fell down to her legs, the view was enough to make any male become crazy.

 895 Old Monster Xu

    Chapter 895 - Old Monster Xu


    "Qingyue will satisfy all your wishes as long as you let go of Jie''er¡­."


    The snow-white skin of this beauty made one''s blood boil.


    This sudden scene made Zhao Feng pause.


    At this moment, the pure and holy Bi Qingyue''s face was red. She bit her lips and spoke with a tone of begging. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and her skin became pink. Her fruitful breasts were extremely alluring, and her pair of white legs was enough to make one go crazy.


    This scene was enough to make any male lustful. Even Zhao Feng''s mouth went dry when he saw this, and heat started to spread from his privates.


    He instinctively wanted to push this holy female onto the ground and ravage her. This was the reaction that most males would have. However, Zhao Feng''s eyes were extremely calm.


    The hotness of his body and coldness of his mental energy were like fire and ice meeting one another.


    Ever since merging with the God''s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng''s mental energy had become extremely powerful, and he could control his entire body, including lust.


    Only the heart was eternal.


    "You''re indeed very beautiful." Zhao Feng smiled faintly as he raised Bi Qingyue''s face, which was beautiful enough to make countries fight each another. He inspected her alluring body and didn''t hide his intentions.


    Bi Qingyue''s body trembled, and her closed eyes fluttered. Her face turned a deeper shade of red. Two streams of tears slid down her cheeks, but that would only increase a male''s lust.


    She waited for a long time, but the youth in front of her had no reaction.


    Shu~~


    A dress was lightly put over her by a pair of strong hands.


    "Master, you¡­"


    Bi Qingyue opened her eyes as she looked at the youth in front of her with disbelief.


    She knew how pretty she was. She never lacked anyone chasing after her ever since she was young, but because of her cultivation technique and her attitude, she was still a virgin. She never would have thought that this youth would be able to resist the temptation.


    It was hard to imagine what kind of heart and mindset he had.


    "I can''t agree." Zhao Feng shook his head.


    Hearing that, Bi Qingyue''s body shook, and her expression changed dramatically. Could it be that Zhao Feng really liked Zhan Jie''er and couldn''t agree to her request? She couldn''t understand; although Zhan Jie''er was charming, she was still a bit away from her own beauty.


    "Why?" Bi Qingyue couldn''t help but ask, and Zhao Feng replied in an expressionless tone, "You are my slave. If I need anything, you can''t go against my orders."


    Bi Qingyue''s face went pale, and she was unable to reply.


    Indeed, due to the Dark Heart Seal, she couldn''t resist Zhao Feng. If she went against him, then her soul would die.


    "If you really like Zhan Jie''er, then-" Bi Qingyue bit her lips as she took a step back.


    "I''m not interested in her," the emotionless voice of the youth stopped her.


    Hearing that, Bi Qingyue was completely stunned and dazed. She suddenly realized that she had probably mistaken Zhao Feng''s intentions.


    Zhao Feng wouldn''t hide his admiration for beauty, but this didn''t mean that he had any impure thoughts about them. He had a fianc¨¦e, and his relationship with Zhao Yufei was unclear. Zhao Feng didn''t want to have any more troubles with his emotions.


    "Looks like I misunderstood Master."


    Bi Qingyue shyly re-organized her clothes and was about to leave. At this moment, she wanted to find a hole and crawl into it. She was known for being holy and sacred, and it was extremely rare for her to go to a male, and now she was rejected?


    "Wait," Zhao Feng suddenly spoke and made Bi Qingyue stay.


    Just as Bi Qingyue was feeling puzzled:


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, and the Demonic Dao Emperor from before appeared.


    "Greetings, Master," the Demonic Dao Emperor of Nine Darkness Palace said with respect.


    This Demonic Dao Emperor had been enslaved by Zhao Feng''s Dark Heart Seal and would follow all orders. Zhao Feng decided to let this Emperor stay in the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and increase Bi Qingyue''s power.


    There was only one other Emperor in the Ocean Smoke Pavilion apart from Bi Qingyue. Adding on this one from Nine Darkness Palace, there were now three.


    "I will be leaving for a while. If you have anything you want, you can use the Dark Heart Seal to tell me even if we''re far away," Zhao Feng continued.


    The connection between the Dark Heart Seal was extremely strong. It was similar to that of a spiritual pet and its master. Within a certain distance, they could even directly message each other. They couldn''t send messages if they were too far, but Zhao Feng would at least be able to feel a cry for help.


    "Master, you''ve slain many Emperors of Nine Darkness Palace, and Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo might call for Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords to take action against you," Bi Qingyue said worriedly, and the Demonic Dao Emperor nodded his head; "The Nine Darkness Emperor won''t give up on this area, especially what Master obtained in Xie Yang Palace. It''s also not just Nine Darkness Palace; the other forces might take action against you too."


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng started to think.


    In reality, he had already thought about this question a long time ago. In the past, he could just run away if there was a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord chasing after him. However, he now had his own force, so he couldn''t do that anymore.


    "Nine Darkness Palace will be at their limit sending just one Sacred Lord over."


    Zhao Feng''s expression was the same as usual.


    The strongest cultivators of a three-star power were usually Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords, and Demigods at best.


    "A Sacred Lord can easily destroy the entire Ocean Smoke Pavilion or the entire Ten Thousand Sacred Clan." Bi Qingyue smiled bitterly. She couldn''t understand what Zhao Feng meant by "just one" Sacred Lord.


    Indeed, Nine Darkness Palace would only send one Sacred Lord at most to organize the forces here and deal with Zhao Feng, but whenever a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord interfered with the world, they did so in an unparalleled manner and made countless experts and Emperors run in fear.


    "I can deal with that." Zhao Feng wasn''t very worried. He paused for a moment before speaking, "The Ocean Smoke Pavilion needs to expand its information agency and spread throughout the seas. The second step is to slowly erode the inner regions of the continent."


    "Reporting to Master, our information agency is already starting to enter the continent, although it''s just the outer boundaries. In order to expand further, we need more resources and power." Bi Qingyue had an ugly expression.


    "I will supply the manpower and resources. From now on, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion will specialize only in collecting information."


    Zhao Feng calmly determined the future of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Right now, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was a half-cultivation, half-information-agency force. If they focused just on collecting information, they would be able to expand much quicker.


    "Understood, Master." Bi Qingyue promised. She seemed to realize that Zhao Feng had a very big plan.


    From now on, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion would only focus on collecting information. However, any good kingdom didn''t just require an information agency; they also needed power.


    Power was the basis of everything.


    Making the Ocean Smoke Pavilion an information agency was just the first step. Zhao Feng would support them from behind. Zhao Feng would create his own powerful force.


    "I need to leave for a while¡­."


    Zhao Feng had learned everything he needed to.


    Shua!


    With a wave of his arm, Zhao Feng''s figure started to fade and disappear under a layer of silver light.


    "Teleportation?"


    Bi Qingyue and the Demonic Dao Emperor saw Zhao Feng disappear from sight. It was stunning to be able to do this without the help of an array.


    The next moment, in the air above the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan:


    Weng~~ Shua!


    A silver figure started to appear in the air, then it transformed into a purple-haired figure that gave off a spatial disturbance.


    Zhao Feng had left spatial markings at the Duke''s Palace, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    Zhao Feng gazed down at the clan, then disappeared with an arc of lightning.


    In the depths of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, in a forbidden area:


    Miao!


    The human and cat ignored all the arrays and appeared in a quiet courtyard.


    This courtyard gave off a pressure that was enough to make normal Void God Realm Kings unable to breathe. No one else in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan dared to come here.


    At this point, the courtyard was dead-silent, but the air was covered in orange and was different from the outside world.


    "Who''s there!?" An old voice sounded from the depths of the courtyard, and a pressure that could make everything in the world freeze appeared.


    "Old Monster Xu," Zhao Feng said calmly. He was unfazed by the terrifying aura.


    He came at this time because he knew that Old monster Xu should have finished breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm by now. He had given him some Hundred Origin Sacred Honey several months ago.


    "Little Friend Zhao."


    An old door opened, and an elder with white hair walked out joyfully.


    In comparison to several months ago, Old Monster Xu''s withered aura of life was now livelier, but the expectation in Zhao Feng''s eyes faded away.


    "I''ve let Little Friend Zhao down. I was still half a step away from breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, probably because I''ve failed in the past before and am close to the end of my lifespan."


    Old Monster Xu was slightly guilty. If he had the Hundred Origin Sacred honey a couple dozen years ago, his chance of success would have been much higher.


    Luckily, with the help of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, Old Monster Xu managed to put half his foot into the Mystic Light Realm. His lifespan had increased, and he reached the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    Zhao Feng was disappointed. While the battle-power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord was great, he originally wanted Old Monster Xu to help deal with a true Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord from Nine Darkness Palace.


    "Little Friend Zhao", Old Monster Xu said in an almost begging tone, "my state of existence has reached the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord. If you give me one more portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, I have at least 70% confidence to break through."

 896 Return

    Chapter 896 - Return


    "¡­.If you give me one more portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, I have at least 70% confidence to break through," Old Monster Xu said. He didn''t realize that Zhao Feng''s disappointed expression had now become ugly.


    Old Monster Xu had his own plan. He had already used the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, and if he had failed to progress at all, then he had no room for negotiation. However, he was half a step into the Mystic Light Realm, and his state of existence had reached the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    The battle-power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord was almost unrivalled across the entire Tianfeng Great Island Zone.


    "Little Friend Zhao, the deal from before still stands. If you give me one more portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, I''ll owe you a big favor in the future and you can order me around ten times. How''s that?" Old Monster Xu promised and was full of smiles. He believed that, since Zhao Feng had already invested in him, he wouldn''t give up now.


    "Hmph." Hearing that, Zhao Feng''s expression became ugly, and he laughed coldly. "You old undead, you''ve already wasted one portion of my Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, and you''re shameless enough to ask for more?"


    Old Monster Xu couldn''t help but hold in his breath. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to suddenly flip out and actually talk back to him so aggressively.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed with a divine light as thunder boomed in the soul-dimension. Old Monster Xu felt a killing intent and a pressure on his soul, but he didn''t put it in his eyes because he now had the battle-power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    "Youngster, calm down. Failing to break through was out of my control." Old Monster Xu squeezed out a smile.


    While he wasn''t scared of Zhao Feng, he didn''t want to form an ugly relationship with Zhao Feng. After all, Zhao Feng had the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, and he wasn''t confident that he could take it off him by force.


    "Why are you so sure that I have more Hundred Origin Sacred Honey?"


    Zhao Feng''s expression was dark, and he was now unhappy. While he was disappointed that Old Monster Xu didn''t break through, he had to admit that he was just unlucky. It was Zhao Feng''s own fault that he had invested in the wrong person.


    Zhao Feng had given one portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey to Old Monster Xu for two reasons.


    The first was because of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan; Zhao Feng felt that he owed the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. The second was that Old Monster Xu was approaching the end of his lifespan, and Zhao Feng felt sympathetic.


    Only afterward did Zhao Feng understand the rules of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm. Once one failed to break through, the chances of success would become lower and lower in the future. This was because one''s life and soul would be used up in the process, and they couldn''t be replenished.


    Old Monster Xu had definitely failed more than once. This meant that his lifeforce was much lower.


    From the looks of it, it was within understanding that Old Monster Xu had failed. Reaching the Quasi-Sacred Lord level was already pretty god.


    Zhao Feng was disappointed in his failed investment and admitted that he was just unlucky. However, Old Monster Xu''s "shameless" attitude made him angry and want to kick him aside. Instead of being grateful for receiving one portion already, he failed to break through and wanted to ask for more?


    "Hehe, according to the news, Little Friend Zhao got the most amount of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey from Xie Yang Palace."


    Old Monster Xu gave a "you understand" expression.


    Zhao Feng''s heart jumped, and his eyes twinkled as he soon figured out the reason. The forces of the Duanmu Family and Sky Sword Pavilion were both present when he had obtained the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey and when he split it with the other members of his group.


    Although they weren''t enemies, paper couldn''t contain fire, and anyone who paid attention would soon know about it. From the looks of it, Old Monster Xu had a force behind him; the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was not to be underestimated.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng didn''t deny it, Old Monster Xu''s smile became brighter. "Although Little Friend Zhao is indeed strong, and even several peak Emperors of Nine Darkness Palace can''t do anything to you, I heard that a Sacred Lord of Nine Darkness Palace is about to take action¡­."


    While he seemed to be praising Zhao Feng, Old Monster Xu was very smug right now. With the threat of a Sacred Lord, Old Monster Xu didn''t believe that Zhao Feng could refuse him ¨C a Quasi-Sacred Lord ¨C and not hand over another portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. He didn''t have 100% confidence with just one portion, so he could even force Zhao Feng to give out a third portion.


    "Hehe, threatening me with a Sacred Lord? Is this what you''re relying on?" Zhao Feng laughed instead of becoming angry as he looked at the confident Old Monster Xu.


    Indeed, Zhao Feng had given Old Monster Xu a portion of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey precisely because of that reason, but Zhao Feng wouldn''t put all his bets onto Old Monster Xu.


    "It isn''t a threat. It''s not like you have to have my help." Old Monster Xu remained confident, but he was surprised at Zhao Feng''s reply. Was he not scared of the coming Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord?


    "Old Monster Xu, I won''t blame you for wasting the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. Just take it as my favor to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. However, I believe you''ll be the one begging me soon." Zhao Feng became calm once more.


    From now on, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and Zhao Feng didn''t owe each other anything.


    "You''re that confident?" Old Monster Xu lifted his eyebrows, and he felt uneasy when thinking about the miracles of this youth.


    "Firstly, you''re hardly the only peak Emperor or Quasi-Sacred Lord that would want a portion of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. I can easily find someone with more honesty and potential, such as Duke Nanfeng, who''s also a Quasi-Sacred Lord." A faint smile formed on Zhao Feng''s face.


    Hearing that, Old Monster Xu''s expression changed slightly. Zhao Feng could find others to work with, and he couldn''t help but be slightly regretful. He shouldn''t have been so confident with just his Quasi-Sacred Lord strength.


    "Secondly, while your state of existence has reached the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord and increased your lifespan, the actual extension of your lifespan hasn''t increased by much. If you don''t break through to the Mystic Light Realm within ten years, you''ll die."


    The divine light in Zhao Feng''s eyes became brighter, and he put a heavy emphasis on the word "die."


    "You actually know¡­?"


    Old Monster Xu felt a booming sensation in his soul as the Intent from the youth''s eyes became stronger. At this moment, Old Monster Xu''s heart was cold. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng''s soul to be so strong. Unfortunately for him, his lifespan was still nearing its end.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s purple hair blew in the wind as he opened his eye-bloodline, and purple arcs of lightning seemed to rush into Old Monster Xu''s soul.


    Weng~


    In an instant, over a thousand symbols of God Tribulation Lightning lit up in Zhao Feng''s purple Soul Sea.


    "Argh!" Old Monster Xu screamed, and his face went white as lightning seemed to ravage his soul. The damage caused was fight back against, and it would be hard to heal.


    "Stop! You¡­" Old Monster Xu cried out. Due to the shaking of his soul, his body was becoming unstable. He never would have expected that Zhao Feng''s mastery of the Soul Dao had reached a level that was enough to threaten even Sacred Lords.


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had circulated all of his God Tribulation Lightning symbols with his full power. The explosive strength from it was enough to threaten Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    After an entire three breaths, Old Monster Xu finally knelt on the ground.


    "You only have three or four years remaining now. This is just a lesson!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression became calm.


    "You¡­!"


    Old Monster Xu knelt on the ground with fear and regret in his eyes.


    Zhao Feng didn''t really care about the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey since he had so much, but now that the he didn''t owe anything to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, he taught Old Monster Xu a lesson.


    "Grand Elder!"


    The cry from Old Monster Xu alarmed the other upper echelon members of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan such as Emperor Ling Qiong.


    Shua!


    By the time they arrived, there was only a layer of silver remaining, and it quickly faded away.


    "Grand Elder, what happened to you?"


    "The figure of the person just now looked similar to Zhao Feng¡­."


    Emperor Ling Qiong and company quickly supported Old Monster Xu up when they arrived. Old Monster Xu was extremely ruffled, and he was about to faint.


    "It''s all due to my shamelessness and greed that I made Zhao Feng unhappy¡­. When the time''s ripe, I''ll go visit him."


    Old Monster Xu gave a bitter smile. He wanted to work with Zhao Feng, but he was nervous that Zhao Feng might not have given him another portion, so he acted shamelessly.


    "What does Zhao Feng think the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan is? It''s not a place where he can come and go as he pleases."


    Emperor Ling Qiong was stunned and helpless.


    Zhao Feng had left a spatial marking here, so he could use the Misty Spatial World to come back any time he wanted.


    Elsewhere, Zhao Feng''s figure appeared in the Duke''s Palace. The place he appeared was in the exact building with the garden from before.


    "Zhao Feng?" Duke Nanfeng, who was in the depths of the palace, sensed something and couldn''t help but call out.


    "Sorry for disturbing you, Duke." Zhao Feng greeted Duke Nanfeng before entering seclusion.


    There were two reasons as to why he came back. Zhao Feng was waiting for people, and it was possible that none of them would show up. If they didn''t, then he would just cultivate quietly until he became a Void God Realm Emperor, but that wasn''t very realistic.


    In the blink of an eye, the majority of a month passed.


    On this day, the air above Zhao Feng flashed with blue and green arcs of lightning.


    "Soon¡­."


    Zhao Feng could feel that his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had reached the limit of the 7th level. The next step was the 8th level ¨C the Fire of Wind Lightning.


    His cultivation speed in the Wood of Wind Lightning was extremely fast, mainly because he had a large amount of wood-elemental resources such as the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice.


    In the air above the Duke''s Palace, the aura of the Wind Lightning cloud in the air had reached a tipping point. It wasn''t hard for those at the Void God Realm to see that Zhao Feng was at a critical stage of cultivating.


    Outside the garden building:


    "Hmph, this is the chance I was waiting for."


    A middle-aged male dressed as a servant turned into a dark streak of light that flashed into the building.


    Within the cultivation chamber, Zhao Feng was sitting. He was about to break through to the 8th level of the Wind Lightning Technique, the Fire of Wind Lightning.


    Shua!


    A dark light suddenly appeared behind him and turned into the figure of a mysterious male.


    "Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor, you''re ranked 10th on the assassination list of Black Screen Corner, which is even higher than Duke Nanfeng. Don''t blame me for coming back."


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night gripped a dark shadowy sword that gave off an icy coldness and stabbed silently toward Zhao Feng.

 897 Isll Let You Run for Ten Breaths

    Chapter 897 ¨C I''ll Let You Run for Ten Breaths


    "Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor, it all ends here."


    The shadow-like sword of Supreme Emperor Dark Night stabbed extremely quickly toward the sitting Zhao Feng.


    Shu~~


    The sword seemed to have exceeded the limits of physical objects as it pierced straight through Zhao Feng''s back.


    "Argh!"


    Zhao Feng, who was busy cultivating, gave a cry as his body stiffened. He didn''t have the ability to fight back at all.


    This scene was just like how Supreme Emperor Dark Night managed to ambush Duke Nanfeng. Supreme Emperor Dark Night was just too fast, and no one was able to evade him at such a close distance. Furthermore, his target was focused on cultivating, so his senses toward the outside world were weakened.


    Shu~


    The place where Zhao Feng was stabbed didn''t bleed. Instead, wisps of black smoke appeared and started to rot his body. At the same time, the aura of life started to fade away.


    "Hmm?" Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s eyebrows rose. He felt that something was off.


    He always made a lot of preparations for any target that he was going to assassinate. In this case, he knew that the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor didn''t just have an eye-bloodline that specialized in Soul techniques, he also had an extremely powerful body.


    The difficulty of assassinating Zhao Feng should have been even higher than Duke Nanfeng. Even though Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s Sky Awakening Piercer was one of the seven great Inheritance Sacred Weapons of the Dao of Assassination and contained the Black Fountain Poison of Black Screen Corner, he shouldn''t have been able to kill Zhao Feng so easily.


    Shu~


    A familiar undulation of the Dao of Assassination and a cold Intent appeared the moment he realized that something was amiss.


    Miao miao!


    A shadow-like dagger pierced into Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s back. The aura of this dagger was on par with his Sky Awakening Piercer.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat''s strike was almost at the exact same time that the Supreme Emperor Dark Night unleashed his attack. Since he went through with his attack against Zhao Feng, he was unable to dodge the attack that came for him.


    "What¡­? The Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger?"


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s body twisted as pain coursed through his body.


    If it was a normal attack, he wouldn''t put it in his eyes; at the very most, he would just lose one of his Eight-Winged Shadow Doppelgangers. However, the little thieving cat''s Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger and its offensive techniques were both from the Dao of Assassination and countered his bloodline. What made him especially cold though was that the Zhao Feng he stabbed wasn''t actually Zhao Feng.


    "Ha!"


    A thunderous boom sounded across the soul-dimension, as if ten thousand arcs of lightning were crushing down. Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s body was injured, and a boom crackled throughout his soul.


    Bam!


    In the next instant, a dominating physical force crushed onto Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s body as he was covered in a golden-blue light.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    The entire building where Zhao Feng was cultivating turned into dust.


    "Supreme Emperor Dark Night, I was waiting for you!"


    Zhao Feng''s golden-blue Sacred Body made him taller as he unleashed his Sacred Lightning Dominating Fist.


    The real Zhao Feng had been cultivating below. The scenery of him cultivating was actually real, but the Zhao Feng that was stabbed was just a Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Root body. Since the real Zhao Feng was cultivating directly below, it was hard to notice the difference.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng had the little thieving cat sit silently in a corner behind the fake. As long as Supreme Emperor Dark Night stabbed the fake Zhao Feng, he would be unable to dodge the little thieving cat''s ambush.


    I fell for it! Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s body was thrown into the sky as he injured by the combined forces of Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat. Although his movement technique was agile, Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto him.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Fist!"


    Zhao Feng unleashed giant punches that seemed to burn the sky every time.


    Bam! Bam! Boom!


    Under the continuous barrage of the Sacred Lightning Dominating Fist and Zhao Feng''s Blood Devil Sun bloodline, Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s body shattered and turned into ashes due to the igniting effect.


    "What a weird Eight-Winged Darkness Doppelganger technique."


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye saw two figures appear from Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s body. One of them was a doppelganger, which absorbed most of the damage and was destroyed. On the other hand, the real body turned into a streak of dark light and used a technique similar to the little thieving cat.


    Shua!


    A pair of bat wings extended behind Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s back as he merged into the darkness with surprising speed. In the blink of an eye, the true Supreme Emperor Dark Night had already left the Duke''s Palace.


    It was his style to leave after one blow, regardless of whether he succeeded or not. Even if it wasn''t, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat had both ambushed and injured him.


    "Bastard, how dare you come to the Duke''s Palace again!?" a powerful voice sounded from the depths of the Duke''s Palace.


    Weng~~


    A purple-golden light shot into the sky and filled the air.


    "Battle-power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord!" Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s expression changed dramatically. He knew that Duke Nanfeng didn''t die, but he didn''t expect the Duke to actually become stronger.


    Weng~


    The area around Supreme Emperor Dark Night became covered by a purple-golden glow that washed over everything in its path, and his figure was squeezed out.


    "Supreme Emperor Dark Night!"


    The experts within the Duke''s Palace could see a non-human male with a pair of bat wings and slim figure. The non-human male was covered by dark scales and surrounded in darkness, as if he was part of the shadows themselves.


    "Keep this bastard here!"


    Duke Nanfeng leapt into the air and released a brilliant glow of purple and gold. While this light looked beautiful and pretty, its power surpassed everyone present.


    Lightning Wings Flying Technique!


    A pair of Wind Lightning wings formed behind Zhao Feng''s back as he charged toward Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    "Eight-Winged Shadow Sky Piercer!"


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night snickered coldly as the bat wings behind him transformed into eight blades and sliced in eight directions.


    Shu Shu Shu Shu~~~~


    Eight blades of light instantly sliced through the purple-golden light. The power from each blade was almost comparable to the attack of a peak Emperor. Even more incredibly, these eight beams of blade-light were rather agile, and at least four of them sliced toward Zhao Feng and Duke Nanfeng.


    Crack!


    Zhao Feng fists shattered two of the blade-lights.


    Duke Nanfeng also easily destroyed two beams with his Quasi-Sacred Lord power. The problem was that he still needed to watch out for the other blade-lights since they would harm the others within the Duke''s Palace. This meant that Duke Nanfeng lost track of Supreme Emperor Dark Night since he needed to help the others.


    How many doppelgangers does this guy have? Zhao Feng''s left eye caught sight of a winged figure that was flying through the air.


    Shua!


    Outside the Great Island Zone, in the limitless ocean, a dark light suddenly blinked and formed the figure of a male with bat wings and a weak expression.


    "As expected of the Left Eyed heavenly Emperor. You managed to make me fail, but your nightmare has only just started. No one below the Mystic Light Realm can manage to escape from my assassinations." Supreme Emperor Dark Night gazed down coldly.


    The expressions of Duke Nanfeng and company within the Duke''s Palace were slightly ugly. This was the second time that Supreme Emperor Dark Night had entered the Duke''s Palace. However, purely in terms of speed, Duke Nanfeng wasn''t able to catch up to Supreme Emperor Dark Night even with the battle-power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    Only one person in the Duke''s Palace had a calm expression ¨C Zhao Feng. This time around, he set an ambush and lured Supreme Emperor Dark Night to assassinate him, and he succeeded in injuring his target.


    "Supreme Emperor Dark Night, I''ll give you ten breaths to run away."


    The purple-haired youth remained calm, but his left eye had locked onto Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    What!?


    Hearing that, Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s heart shook, and everyone else within the Duke''s Palace looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    Zhao Feng just stood there and didn''t chase after him. His left eye seemed to ignore the limitations of space and lock onto Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    "Junior, you''re the first to say such a thing to me." Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s face was filled with coldness, but he had to leave. He definitely wasn''t Duke Nanfeng''s and Zhao Feng''s match.


    Being one of the top assassins, he didn''t specialize in head-on combat. Although his battle-power was close to a Quasi-Sacred Lord, his chance of winning against Zhao Feng, Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo, and others of that caliber head-on wasn''t high.


    Zhao Feng remained unmoving and started to count. Duke Nanfeng next to him wanted to take action but was stopped by Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, I hope your words won''t become a joke." Supreme Emperor Dark Night suppressed the anger and shock in his heart as he turned into a streak of dark light and sped into the limitless ocean.


    Ten breaths hadn''t ended yet, so Zhao Feng didn''t immediately chase after him. His gaze landed on Duke Nanfeng.


    "Duke, I will need your Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly to kill this bastard." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re really thinking about chasing Supreme Emperor Dark Night by yourself?" Duke Nanfeng asked in a solemn tone. He knew that he couldn''t stop Zhao Feng.


    "With the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, I''m 70-80% confident," Zhao Feng replied.


    The period of ten breaths was slowly closing in, and Duke Nanfeng took out the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly without hesitation.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was extremely happy when it saw Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat, and it soon went to play with the little thieving cat. Zhao Feng reached out and put the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly and the little thieving cat into the Misty Spatial World.


    "Zhao Feng, be careful. Don''t underestimate Supreme Emperor Dark Night, and watch out for his counterattacks," Duke Nanfeng warned.


    "Duke, please relax. I''ll be back very soon."


    After saying that, Zhao Feng''s wings expanded, and he turned into a streak of light and headed toward the limitless ocean.


    "Lightning¡­ Wings¡­ Spatial¡­ Flash!"


    A light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes as the wings behind him released a brilliant glow of light that increased his speed to the maximum.


    So fast!


    Duke Nanfeng and the others within the Duke''s Palace exclaimed.

 898 Peak of the Assassination World

    Chapter 898 - Peak of the Assassination World


    The Lightning Wings Spatial Flash was the highest-level technique of the Wind Lightning Inheritance. It was no longer purely flying; by utilizing the power of Space, the user could instantly blink great distances.


    Shua! Shua! Whoosh~~~~!


    One could see an arc of lightning blinking over the limitless ocean. Every blink was more than ten thousand miles away from each other.


    Of course, since this was in the limitless ocean, there was less resistance, gravity, and whatnot; thus, anyone would more than ten times faster here than inland. This meant that, in the limitless ocean, Zhao Feng was able to travel ten thousand miles in a single blink, and that was still under the fact that he wasn''t giving it his all.


    After re-cultivating and learning the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning True Yuan was thicker and more profound than his previous life. Using the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash now was like a fish swimming in water.


    Elsewhere in the limitless ocean:


    "What a joke! Giving me ten breaths to run away? Is that brat not scared that the wind will cut his tongue?"


    The outline of Supreme Emperor Dark Night could be seen within a dark light.


    After leaving the Duke''s Palace, Supreme Emperor Dark Night used his secret technique and flew a hundred thousand miles in one breath. Mockery formed on Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s face; if he had ten breaths of time, even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords would be unable to chase after him.


    He instinctively turned around and looked back. Indeed, that junior hadn''t chased after him. Looks like all Zhao Feng wanted to do was win with words.


    Whoosh~~~~!


    Just as Supreme Emperor Dark Night was thinking that, the sound of wind and lightning came from behind him alongside a faint spatial disturbance.


    "That¡­ how is this possible!?" Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s expression changed dramatically, and his body went cold after scanning over that disturbance with his Divine Sense. A streak of lightning was flashing over the limitless ocean and chasing after him. With every breath, the distance between them was shortened by several thousand miles.


    "Such terrifying speed! He''s almost exceeded the Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords that don''t specialize in speed¡­." Supreme Emperor Dark Night was frightened.


    Shua! Shua!


    He took a deep breath and turned into a streak of darkness that suddenly split into two, then flew out seven or eight thousand miles before disappearing.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng felt that the two auras were completely the same. If it was a normal Emperor or even a Quasi-Sacred Lord instead of him, they would have been tricked and lose sight of the target.


    Hmph! Zhao Feng snickered coldly and followed one of the streaks without hesitation.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!" The wings behind Zhao Feng released a brilliant light once again as he turned into an arc of lightning that flashed through the air. In just a couple breaths, Zhao Feng caught up to one of the hidden streaks of darkness.


    "It''s not effective at all!" Panic finally appeared on Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s face. Not only was the opponent''s speed faster than his, he also had profound tracking technique. Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline countered all the ways he could escape. The arc of lightning was closing in on him, and he was unable to avoid it.


    "If I can''t run, then I''ll just give it my all!" Frenzy and insanity appeared in Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s eyes. He had many forbidden techniques that could threaten even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords; just one or two of them might be able to dissolve this danger.


    Shua!


    In the next instant, Zhao Feng flashed once more and was now within a couple dozen miles of Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    Deadliness flashed through Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s eyes as the technique he was brewing was completed. All he needed to do was wait for Zhao Feng to get a bit closer and counterattack.


    However, Zhao Feng didn''t move. He opened the bloodline of his left eye, releasing a surge of Soul eye-bloodline power.


    "Soul Chains!"


    Transparent crystalline purple chains of lightning passed through the soul-dimension and wrapped around Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s body. The Soul Chains instantly restrained Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s soul and started to numb him.


    "Don''t¡­!"


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s body froze. When his soul was restrained, all physical attacks lost their meaning.


    These Soul Chains were also called Soul Restriction since they were used to restrict the soul. No matter how strong one''s battle-power was, if their soul was restricted, then it would all be for nothing.


    "Open~~~!" Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s soul was stronger than most peak Emperors, so he had the ability to struggle against the Soul Chains.


    Shu~~~


    Black smoke appeared from the transparent crystalline purple chains of lightning, and they started to emit a weird sound. In the physical world, black flames rippled around Supreme Emperor Dark Night and covered everything within dozens of miles.


    However, Zhao Feng remained unmoved. He simply increased his power that restricted Supreme Emperor Dark Night. The defense of his Sacred Lightning Body was extremely high, so the fiery shockwave that was able to kill Kings was unable to harm him.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The number of purple lightning chains increased, and they lit up as they released a sizzle of God Tribulation Lightning that thundered onto Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s soul.


    "Arghh!" Supreme Emperor Dark Night started to struggle and cry out as scorch marks were left all over his soul. Supreme Emperor Dark Night then started to struggle less, and he lightly trembled as the barrage of God Tribulation Lightning continued.


    Zhao Feng slowly increased the strength of his Soul Chains.


    When the restriction reached a certain level, the target would lose complete control over their body. Because Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s soul was about the same level as Zhao Feng''s, it wasn''t easy for him to do this, but luckily, Zhao Feng could use the power of God Tribulation Lightning to increase the damage to Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    More than a dozen breaths later, 60-70% of Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s soul had been confined by Zhao Feng.


    "That''s about it." Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head and waved his arm.


    Miao!


    A silver-gray light flashed. The next instant, a little silver-gray cat and a chubby silkworm appeared in the air above Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    Weng~ Whoosh~~~~!


    The little silkworm opened its mouth and spat out a wave of multi-colored silk that instantly wrapped around Supreme Emperor Dark Night. In the blink of an eye, Supreme Emperor Dark Night had turned into a multi-colored sticky rice dumpling.


    Bam!


    The little thieving cat held a spade and whacked the sticky rice dumpling. Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s body shook, and he felt dizzy as the sudden attack interrupted the secret technique he was trying to use.


    Boom!


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly then quickly flapped its wings and spat out a wave of multi-colored pollen onto the sticky rice dumpling.


    "Dream Pollen¡­ it''s over." Supreme Emperor Dark Night felt his body go numb as he lost control of his True Yuan. Adding on the fact that Zhao Feng was using his Soul Chains, Supreme Emperor Dark Night was completely confined, and he lost all ability to fight back. He couldn''t even self-destruct.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath, but he still maintained the Soul Chains and used the God Tribulation Lightning to make Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s soul even weaker. He couldn''t give the opponent any chance at all if the opponent was an expert at Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s level, otherwise Supreme Emperor Dark Night might become the second Emperor of Death and use a forbidden technique like the Cursed Words of Death to make Zhao Feng pay a heavy price. Besides, Zhao Feng wanted Supreme Emperor Dark Night alive. Even if he just self-destructed without using a forbidden technique, it would be a huge waste.


    "Gaze of the God''s Eye!"


    Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline activated, and an endless purple whirlpool appeared in Zhao Feng''s left eye. As Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s soul was already extremely weak, it was sucked into the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye without much resistance.


    Everything that entered the dimension of his left eye would be suppressed, including the God Tribulation head and the souls of Emperors.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng first put Supreme Emperor Dark Night into the Misty Spatial World and then used the Dark Heart Seal on him.


    Killing Supreme Emperor Dark Night wasn''t too hard for Zhao Feng; his aim was to control an assassin who had battle-power close to a Sacred Lord. Supreme Emperor Dark Night stood amongst the peak of the assassination world in the lord dynasty. Supreme Emperor Dark Night had even participated in assassinating an injured Sacred Lord and succeeded. From this, one could see his strength.


    "Don''t even think about it¡­! I''d rather die."


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s willpower was extremely tough since he knew what was about to happen.


    Zhao Feng was half-worried and half-happy. He had to slow down on using the Dark Heart Seal or else Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s consciousness might be destroyed. The stronger one''s willpower and Intent, the more strength and potential they would have once enslaved.


    "Supreme Emperor Dark Night, I have some Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. If you agree to serve me for a hundred years, I''ll let you live and give you some," Zhao Feng promised.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night started to think.


    "Die, or become a Sacred Lord and regain your freedom after a hundred years."


    After saying that, Zhao Feng circulated his Dark Heart Seal to the maximum and imprinted it into the depths of Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s soul.


    An hour later:


    "Master."


    A non-human male with a pair of bat wings half-knelt in front of Zhao Feng. He had a weak expression, but his eyes were filled with respect.


    "You go in and heal yourself. Don''t worry about resources."


    Zhao Feng nodded his head in satisfaction.


    Shua!


    With a wave of his hand, he put Supreme Emperor Dark Night into the Misty Spatial World. The Misty Spatial World was filled with resources, so Supreme Emperor Dark Night would be able to recover quickly.


    Around half the time it took to make tea later, Zhao Feng returned to the Duke''s Palace alone.


    "Duke."


    Zhao Feng gratefully handed the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly back to Duke Nanfeng.


    "Zhao Feng, it''s good that you''ve come back."


    Duke Nanfeng put the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly away and inspected Zhao Feng. He realized that there were no signs of battle on Zhao Feng''s body. At the very least, there were no obvious signs of injury.


    This meant that there were only two possible results:


    The first was that they only exchanged a couple blows before splitting apart, or they never fought at all.


    The second was that Zhao Feng had easily finished off Supreme Emperor Dark Night without taking any damage himself, but was that even possible?


    "Zhao Feng, you need to watch out. Supreme Emperor Dark Night doesn''t easily give up after failing. He''s extremely patient and can wait for several years or even decades¡­." Duke Nanfeng warned in a solemn tone.


    Any person would have moments when their flaws were revealed, and good assassins would grasp those moments perfectly. It wasn''t weird for assassins to kill someone stronger than themselves.


    "Duke, you can relax. Supreme Emperor Dark Night won''t ever cause trouble for you or me again," Zhao Feng said confidently.


    Hearing that, Duke Nanfeng cried out in shock, "Could it be¡­ that you finished off Supreme Emperor Dark Night!?"


    "You could put it that way."


    Zhao Feng didn''t explain much. He didn''t want everyone to know about Supreme Emperor Dark Night yet since he would be one of Zhao Feng''s trump cards in the future.

 899 Suggestion

    Chapter 899 - Suggestion


    Duke Nanfeng gave Zhao Feng a deep glance. He could tell that Zhao Feng''s definition of "finishing off" Supreme Emperor Dark Night definitely wasn''t simple.


    Before he left, Zhao Feng spoke in a probing tone, "The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly has recovered to its peak in every aspect. I was wondering if the Duke might be willing to trade it for a chance to break through to the Mystic Light Realm."


    Hearing that, a light flashed in Duke Nanfeng''s eyes as he looked at Zhao Feng for a long time. Zhao Feng smiled and remained calm against the faint pressure of a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    Those that knew Duke Nanfeng knew that the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was his treasure. Not only did it have strong abilities, it also meant a lot to him on a personal level, so Zhao Feng was just testing his luck.


    He was extremely moved by the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. The most important thing was that he had ten portions of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey remaining, so he could give one to the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly and help it break through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    "Zhao Feng, I need to think about it for a while," Duke Nanfeng thought for a long time before answering.


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised. He originally thought that Duke Nanfeng would decline immediately.


    "Of course, you need to be ready because the chance of me agreeing isn''t high. If it was someone else or some other suggestion, I wouldn''t even think about it," Duke Nanfeng added.


    "I understand."


    Zhao Feng faintly smiled. He was already surprised that Duke Nanfeng was considering it at all.


    It was obvious that Duke Nanfeng also knew that Zhao Feng had Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. After all, it had been half a year since the Divine Illusion Dimension ended.


    Breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm was Duke Nanfeng''s dream. His destiny would change a lot if he managed to take that step, but the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly also meant a lot to him, and its value also exceeded the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey.


    "Duke, please think about it. Apart from the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, I will also give some legendary stones that can be used to create substandard God weapons. The combined value of it all will definitely exceed the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly." Zhao Feng gave his side of the deal.


    He knew that the value of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly exceeded a portion of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey since its Origin Pollen could also increase one''s chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    The only problem was that the Cloud Silkworm Saint butterfly had a limited supply of Origin Pollen, and giving too much away would affect its potential and growth. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly also needed one hundred years to give away its next batch of Origin Pollen. If it forcefully gave it away, then it would almost definitely lose all hope of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    Legendary stones that can create substandard God weapons? Duke Nanfeng''s heart rate sped up by a little bit as he sent Zhao Feng away with his eyes.


    Right now, he was a Quasi-Sacred Lord, and with a portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, he was almost guaranteed to break through. Legendary stones and metals might allow him to create a substandard God weapon, or at the very least, a weapon whose power was close to a substandard God weapon. This would increase his battle-power and make up for the loss of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    Zhao Feng returned to his garden building.


    "Big Brother Zhao," a voice sounded from the garden.


    "Princess."


    Zhao Feng was surprised as he looked at Princess Yuqing sneaking around. This was the first time she had come to find Zhao Feng after Duke Nanfeng told her off.


    Zhao Feng''s head hurt slightly when he saw her.


    "Big Brother Zhao, I won''t trouble you. I just want you to help me tame a monkey." Princess Yuqing told Zhao Feng why she was here.


    Since she had become an adult not long ago, Princess Yuqing received a present from the Great Gan Imperials. This present was a high-tier monkey-type pet.


    "Sure, I''ll help you." Zhao Feng nodded his head in agreement. He didn''t even need to do this himself; the little thieving cat was more than enough.


    "Princess, what does the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly mean to your father?" Zhao Feng asked.


    This concerned whether he would be able to acquire the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, a spiritual pet with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    "The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was given to my father by my great-grandmother before she died¡­." Princess Yuqing answered Zhao Feng''s question, and he instantly understood.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had a lot of sentimental value to Duke Nanfeng. No wonder he hesitated so much in exchanging it.


    Looks like the chance of Duke Nanfeng agreeing isn''t very high¡­. Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    Within his cultivation chamber, Zhao Feng sat down and merged his consciousness into the Misty Spatial World.


    The Little World of the Misty Spatial World was extremely broad ¨C it was several times bigger than the Cloud Country.


    At this moment, Supreme Emperor Dark Night was sitting in a corner and cultivating quietly.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s injuries were mainly in his soul, and while there were some resources from Xie Yang Palace that could heal souls, the damage caused by God Tribulation Lightning couldn''t be healed so easily.


    "Supreme Emperor Dark Night, I need you to create an underground assassination organization similar to Black Screen Corner after you recover most of your injuries," Zhao Feng said.


    "Reporting to Master, Black Screen Corner has their own elites that are responsible for finding information, assassinating, running away, etcetera. Just assassins alone isn''t enough to build a force similar to Black Screen Corner," Supreme Emperor Dark Night answered respectfully and told Zhao Feng his thoughts.


    Zhao Feng didn''t find this weird because, after the Dark Heart Seal had been perfected, the target would retain their own individual thoughts.


    "Tell me more."


    "Black Screen Corner is one of the three biggest underground forces. It has its own information agencies, assassins, methods to wash their money, etcetera, and it exists between the lord dynasty and the cultivation forces. Furthermore, it''s always neutral; they never train their own assassins. Anyone strong enough can become an assassin and accept all types of missions¡­." Supreme Emperor Dark Night explained, and Zhao Feng nodded his head. The specialty of Black Screen Corner was that it was a neutral force and didn''t need to rely on anyone else.


    "You don''t need to worry about the information agencies, all you need to do is create an assassination organization. I will supply you with all the resources," Zhao Feng ordered.


    Everybody had their own specialties, and every superpower needed to have separate departments. Without a doubt, Supreme Emperor Dark Night stood at the peak of the assassination world.


    What made Zhao Feng happy and surprised was that Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s ambitions weren''t small; he had already formed his own group of elites in the underground world. This meant that in the early stages of forming his assassination organization, Zhao Feng wouldn''t lack any elite members.


    "This is one portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. You can use it to break through to the Mystic Light Realm when the time is ripe. The promise between us still stands; as long as you serve me for a hundred years, I will give you back your freedom."


    Zhao Feng took out a small bottle that contained a half frozen multi-colored honey.


    "Thank you, Master." Supreme Emperor Dark Night took the small bottle of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey with a trembling hand. With his current strength and the help of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, his chances of successfully breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm had reached 40-50%.


    Of course, before that, he needed to recover to his peak state.


    In another corner of the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng inspected the situation of the Five Poison Distinct Bees.


    These bees had grown dramatically after leaving the Divine Illusion Dimension. Almost all of them had become elite bees that were comparable to half-step Kings. There were seven or eight hundred bees in number, and there was close to a hundred Bee Kings.


    However, the number of Bee Emperors was still quite low. There was only eight, but even then, Zhao Feng was extremely surprised.


    His goal was to weed out the weaklings and raise them all to become Bee Kings. Just the thought of thousands of Bee Kings was terrifying. It was enough to make even Sacred Lords retreat.


    "A lot of time and resources will be required for them to reach that stage¡­."


    Zhao Feng took back his consciousness.


    He had decided to stay in the Duke''s Palace because he was waiting for someone, but Zhao Feng wasn''t sure if that person was actually coming.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and started to quietly cultivate within the chamber. Before Supreme Emperor Dark Night arrived, Zhao Feng had been at the critical moment of reaching the 8th level of the Wind Lightning Technique, and now he was going to resume breaking through.


    Due to his powerful Intent and the amount of resources he possessed, Zhao Feng didn''t have any bottleneck in breaking through.


    Several days later, a green-and-blue whirlpool started to form in the air above Zhao Feng''s building. The aura of the whirlpool was extremely chaotic as the Water and Wood of Wind Lightning spun continuously.


    Ten days later:


    Weng~~ Boom!


    A sparkle of fiery red appeared in the center of the Wind Lightning whirlpool and radiated a chaotic aura of fire and lightning. At the same time, the Wood of Wind Lightning within Zhao Feng''s True Yuan dimension expanded and formed the third element of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique ¨C the Fire of Wind Lightning.


    Because he was cultivating the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, Zhao Feng''s True Yuan dimension was different from other normal Void God Realms. His Crystal Core had a thin layer that split the Water of Wind Lightning apart from the Wood of Wind Lightning.


    Amongst them, the Water of Wind Lightning was the original, so it had the highest quantity.


    The Water of Wind Lightning could be converted into the Wood of Wind Lightning, and now, another thin layer appeared after the Wood of Wind Lightning to separate it from the Fire of Wind Lightning.


    The Fire of Wind Lightning was similar to the Scarlet Destruction Wind Lightning of his previous life. This was one of the reasons why Zhao Feng could successfully form it so easily.


    "The Fire of Wind Lightning has the strongest offense and power. It can also strengthen the secret battle techniques such as the Wings of Wind and Lightning."


    Zhao Feng kept forming the Fire of Wind Lightning. At the same time, he took out some Fire elemental resources from the Misty Spatial World in order to increase his efficiency.


    In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and Zhao Feng had completely stepped into the 8th level of the Wind Lightning Technique. At this moment in time, a bright red bit of Wind Lightning took up almost one quarter of the space within his True Yuan dimension.


    Zhao Feng could feel his cultivation slowly approaching the late stages of the King level.


    Weng~~


    He circulated the Fire of Wind Lightning to refine his Sacred Lightning Body and found that it was effective. The Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body that was at the late stages of the 5th level hadn''t improved for a while, but after being refined by the Fire of Wind Lightning, it showed signs of approaching the peak 5th level.


    Zhao Feng started to realize that he was currently at a stage where his strength was rapidly rising.


    "It''s about time to use the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey¡­."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled as a multi-colored bottle of honey appeared in his hand.

 900 Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord

    Chapter 900 - Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord


    Zhao Feng had nine portions of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey remaining after giving one to Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    He needed three portions for himself. The first would be used when he was about to reach the limit of the Sacred Lightning Body''s 5th level, the second would be used when he was about to break through to the Mystic Light Realm, and the third would be used to break through to the 6th level of the Sacred Lightning Body.


    In reality, using the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey more than once would decrease its effects, so using more than three portions or even just two would waste some of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey''s value.


    I''ll use one portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey when the Fire of Wind Lightning has refined my body to the peak 5th level of the Sacred Lightning Body in order to create a strong foundation for the 6th level of the Sacred Lightning Body and the Mystic Light Realm. Zhao Feng thought for a moment before resisting the urge to use the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey right now.


    The later he used the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, the more effective it would be. Zhao Feng was waiting for the perfect moment.


    Within the chamber, Zhao Feng kept on absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning. His Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique could be split into several thoughts while he wasn''t at the critical moment of breaking through.


    Absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning was a daily task.


    Weng~


    More than one thousand five hundred symbols of God Tribulation Lightning glowed in his purple Soul Sea, and wisps of lightning continued to refine his soul.


    Zhao Feng''s purple Soul Sea had reached the thousand-yard limit of his previous life, and it was more condensed than before. His soul had almost exceeded the range of Emperors and was about to touch the level of Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    "I can almost start absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning into my Wind Lightning True Yuan."


    A light flashed in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    In this life, he hadn''t used his True Yuan to absorb too much God Tribulation Lightning. Instead, he started to do so after comprehending it more completely.


    Wisps of God Tribulation Lightning were released from the marks of God Tribulation Lightning inside his purple Soul Sea and merged into the dimension of his True Yuan.


    However, his True Yuan was extremely thick in his True Yuan dimension. After merging with all the True Yuan, the power of the God Tribulation Lightning could diminish dramatically. Zhao Feng could only choose to merge it into the Fire of Wind Lightning right now; not only was its offensive power the strongest, it also had the smallest quantity. Merging it into the Fire of Wind Lightning would mean that the God Tribulation Lightning would be able to unleash its full power.


    Just as Zhao Feng was about to do this, an unwelcome guest arrived at the Duke''s Palace.


    "Hmm?" While Zhao Feng was cultivating, he felt his True Yuan and his bloodline start to freeze. Even his soul became heavy for some reason.


    A magnificent aura appeared and affected the entire Duke''s Palace. This aura seemed to rule supreme over everything else and made the Yuan Qi in every direction tremble, as if it was bowing down to a saint. All Yuan Qi, including True Yuan, bloodlines, and Intent was unable to escape from being suppressed by this aura.


    "This aura¡­!" Zhao Feng raised his head, and waves crashed through his heart.


    The sky within several thousand miles seemed to dim as if darkness had descended. In this instant, everything within several thousand miles of the Duke''s Palace entered a world of darkness.


    The Duke''s Palace became dead-silent. Countless beings froze and weren''t even able to speak. This power could flip Heaven and Earth around, and it had never been seen before.


    In a side hall of the Duke''s Palace:


    "Duke Nanfeng, you should know the reason why I''m here," a Demonic Lord in black robes and covered in darkness spoke slowly.


    His state of existence had ascended, and his eyes were black. His Intent seemed to contain a power that could shatter Heaven and Earth. His voice resounded throughout the air like the ruler of Heaven and Earth. It was as if no one could go against his will.


    Normal Void God Realms would probably be unable to talk back or even breathe. Everything had been suppressed, including the flow of blood.


    "Nine Darkness Demonic Lord, you''re a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord. Is it really worth it for you to personally take action against a junior? Besides, even if I was willing, the power of the imperials is not to be looked down upon," Duke Nanfeng took a deep breath and said.


    His every action and movement including breathing were much heavier than usual due to the aura of a Mystic Light Realm. This was still under the basis that the other party was purposely concealing it, otherwise just the aura from a Sacred Lord could lock down space and instantly kill over 99% of the beings within the Duke''s Palace.


    Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords stood at the peak of this era, and seeing any one of them was extremely difficult.


    "That Zhao Feng is the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor who is famous across the Cang Ocean, not some unknown junior. The Nine Darkness Palace will compensate the Duke''s Palace for its losses. As for the power of the imperials, I will personally go to the Grand Imperial Hall and apologize to them."


    Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s words were swift and unable to be retorted against.


    Since he took out the identity of the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor, then no one would say that he was a bully. He would also pay back the losses of the Duke''s Palace and be held accountable for the loss of face from the imperials.


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord only had one goal, and that was to capture Zhao Feng.


    Duke Nanfeng''s expression flickered for a while before shaking his head. "Demonic Lord, I''m sorry, but Zhao Feng is my friend. How will everyone else look at me if I just hand him over?"


    Duke Nanfeng was unable to go against the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord for public reasons, so he took out the "private relationship" card. No matter what, he would do his best.


    "Hmph, Duke Nanfeng, are you not giving me face?" Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was angered, and the darkness around him started to twist.


    Boom!


    Duke Nanfeng''s bloodline and True Yuan started to shake and crackle under the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s Intent. This was still under the fact that he had reached the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    "Apart from Sky Suspension Palace, the leader of the cultivation world, who else do the Great Gan Imperials need to give face to?" Duke Nanfeng showed no signs of weakness as an invisible power of providence formed dragons in the air, which spun around his body and decreased the pressure he had to face.


    "Draconic Providence of the Lord Dynasty." The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s expression became slightly ugly as he looked at Duke Nanfeng.


    Draconic Providence wasn''t just normal providence. This was a power that only pure-blooded upper echelon imperials could control, and it was the fundamental reason the Great Gan Imperials were in charge.


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord knew that Duke Nanfeng was warning him about who the true ruler of the continent zone was.


    The Quasi-Sacred Lord ranked Duke Nanfeng with Draconic Providence and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had the ability to fight back against a Sacred Lord.


    Just as the two were in a stalemate:


    "Duke." A purple-haired youth walked into the side hall.


    Zhao Feng!


    Both Duke Nanfeng and the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord looked at this youth.


    Zhao Feng felt that all power within the hall was suppressed by the aura of a Mystic Light Realm. The Nine Darkness Sacred Lord''s state of existence and power had exceeded the limits of mortal bodies and reached an incredible level that gave him the ability to oversee Heaven and Earth, as if he was looking down on ants.


    "You''re Zhao Feng? If you don''t want to harm any innocents, come with me," Nine Darkness Demonic Lord said emotionlessly, and Zhao Feng felt his body and soul become heavy under his gaze.


    At this moment, every one of Zhao Feng''s actions, including his thoughts, were much slower than usual. It was unknown who would win, but one thing was for sure ¨C once they started fighting, Zhao Feng would be immediately suppressed.


    "Fine, I''ll come with you." Zhao Feng''s eyes were calm, and Nine Darkness Demonic Lord paused for a moment. Zhao Feng had slain several peak Emperors of Nine Darkness Palace. He actually agreed to leave obediently?


    Duke Nanfeng''s expression changed; "Zhao Feng, don''t be scared of him. I owe you a favor, and we can fight a Sacred Lord with our combined strength."


    Zhao Feng, Duke Nanfeng, and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly did indeed have the ability to fight the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord. After all, their strength had exceeded peak Emperors, and they were both about at the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    That was precisely something that the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord didn''t want to see. He wasn''t scared of these two, but he was wary of the Great Gan Imperials, or more precisely, the Grand Imperial Hall.


    "Thank you. However, while you may be able to protect me for a moment, you can''t protect me forever. Besides, I hope that Duke will repay that favor after breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile and rejected Duke Nanfeng.


    He sighed in his heart; he didn''t expect that the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord, an unrivalled existence, would come.


    "Zhao Feng, you¡­" Duke Nanfeng''s pupils contracted in disbelief. To his understanding, Zhao Feng wouldn''t do anything that he wasn''t confident in.


    Shua!


    With a flash of Wind Lightning, Zhao Feng leapt into the air above the Duke''s Palace and roared with laughter, "I''ve been too lonely amongst Emperors. I''ve waited for a battle like this for a long time."


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    In that instant, Intent shot out from Zhao Feng''s eyes and thunder boomed inside the soul-dimension. His Intent and bloodline started to burn as his battle-intent was ignited.


    "What powerful Intent!"


    "Zhao Feng dares to challenge a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord?"


    Some of the experts within the Duke''s Palace were stunned.


    Duke Nanfeng looked at the youth that was filled with battle-intent. This kind of courage and confidence was something that even he, a Quasi-Sacred Lord, didn''t have.


    "Brat, I can tell that you''ve never fought with a Sacred Lord before." The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord laughed instead of becoming angry.


    Shua!


    With a flash, a streak of black light instantly closed in on Zhao Feng.


    Bam~~~~!


    A loud explosion sounded near the barrier of the island zone as a tall black demonic figure clashed with a small golden-blue giant.


    Hu~ Hu~ Bam!


    A pair of giant scarlet lightning wings extended from the small golden-blue giant''s back as a blazing punch shot into the air.


    The instant they clashed, explosions sounded around Zhao Feng.


    Peng!


    The wings behind Zhao Feng''s back faded and were almost shattered. In just one blow, his True Yuan and bloodline were almost forced back by the powerful demonic light that could suppress Heaven and Earth. Luckily, his body and soul were both extremely strong, so he wasn''t severely injured.


    "Brat, that was 40% of my strength and you were only slightly injured. I have to admit that I underestimated you¡­."


    Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s black figure paused for a moment before leaping toward Zhao Feng once again with demonic light that could pierce anything in its way.

 901 Fighting a Sacred Lord

    Chapter 901 - Fighting a Sacred Lord


    Crack!


    The instant he exchanged blows with the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord, Zhao Feng felt an uncrossable chasm. Just a casual blow from the opponent contained enough power to rip apart his True Yuan, physical strength, and bloodline power. Zhao Feng''s peak attack was shattered, and his strongest wings that were formed from Fire of Wind Lightning were almost completely ripped apart, so he lost his balance and agility.


    Zhao Feng used this chance to retreat and first stabilize his Scarlet Wings of Lightning.


    His choice was, without a doubt, correct. The Scarlet Wings of Lightning could greatly increase Zhao Feng''s speed and agility as well as his Intent and the power of his Wind Lightning. This was extremely critical in battle.


    Weng~~


    The Water and Wood of Wind Lightning within Zhao Feng''s body quickly circulated.


    From Water came Wood, and from Wood came Fire. Everything turned into Fire of Wind Lightning, and its power was half a tier stronger than normal.


    Shua!


    The Scarlet Wings of Lightning behind Zhao Feng''s back released a brilliant glow of light as he shot into the sky and retreated with stunning speed. At this moment in time, the explosiveness of Zhao Feng''s Fire of Wind Lightning had exceeded his previous life.


    Whoosh~~~~!


    At the same time, the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord flashed forward with a surge of demonic light. He didn''t use any skills or technique, he simply crushed toward Zhao Feng with pure power.


    It could be said that the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was just too disdainful to use any techniques since he knew that cultivation was Zhao Feng''s weakness.


    "Scarlet Lightning Windstorm!"


    The Scarlet Wings of Lightning behind Zhao Feng''s back extended to a hundred yards and summoned a monstrous storm of scarlet lightning. A blazing light suddenly erupted from the center of the windstorm, as if it contained a bloody sun.


    Zhao Feng suddenly imagined that he could merge the explosiveness of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline and the Fire of Wind Lightning.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The power of the storm increased by several folds after the bloody sun covered it.


    "Petty tricks!" The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord brought his demonic light and vanquished everything within a thousand miles.


    Bam! Boom~~~


    The wave of darkness devoured all existence.


    In an instant, Zhao Feng felt as if the world had descended into darkness. He felt like a mortal facing a god; he couldn''t even use 50% of his full power.


    Crack! Crack!


    The bloody sunlight and the storm of scarlet lightning shattered. They weren''t even able to block one blow from the demonic light.


    Wah!


    Zhao Feng''s body shook as blood dripped from his mouth. The wings behind him contracted back to ten or twenty yards, and he got ready to retreat if he needed to.


    "So this is the battle-power of a Sacred Lord¡­."


    Even though Zhao Feng was prepared for it, he was still stunned. He was internally injured in this exchange, and this was still under the basis that he was ready to retreat and used the force to help push him away. If he had fought in a head-on clash, he would have been severely injured at the very least.


    "Zezeze¡­. Interesting¡­ but the stronger you are, the longer this torture will last."


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord gave a wicked smile.


    Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords were usually in seclusion and didn''t care about what happened in the world. However, when they did take action, they did so in an unparalleled and unrivalled manner. They stood at the peak of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, but the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord realized that his opponent wasn''t quite as weak as usual and could struggle a little bit. However, the more he felt like that, the more interested he became, and he felt like he could "play" around a bit more.


    "Zhao Feng, run! How can you fight with a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord head-on¡­!?"


    Duke Nanfeng watched the short exchange between the two and was extremely frustrated.


    Zhao Feng''s strength was indeed stronger than he expected. His soul and body were both extremely powerful, and they were the reason he could barely fight against a Mystic Light Realm. If someone else attempted such a thing without such a powerful soul and body, even a peak Emperor would be killed for sure.


    "Thank you, Duke."


    Zhao Feng had already been injured in the short exchange just now, and his heart was as clear as a mirror.


    In reality, the reason he had acted so "dumb" was because he wanted to see how strong someone at the Mystic Light Realm was. On top of that, it could ignite his potential.


    "It''s not that easy to run away."


    A wave of darkness surged from the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord and shot through several thousand miles, turning the sky dark. All powers were suppressed in this world of darkness.


    "Not good!"


    Zhao Feng was slowed down even though he was circulating his Wings of Wind and Lightning to the maximum.


    His heart went cold, and he knew that he had overestimated himself. If it wasn''t for the fact that he had overestimated himself and decided to get into close combat with a Sacred Lord, he wouldn''t have been restrained by the opponent.


    At this moment, everything within several thousand miles had turned dark, and one could faintly see chaotic and gruesome figures.


    Zhao Feng knew that this was the power of the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s Little World. Due to the limitations of the physical dimension, normal Little Worlds would be repelled, so they found it difficult to merge into a true world. The stronger one''s Little World, the stronger the repelling force.


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord used his Little World to affect the outside world, and when Zhao Feng was covered by this world of darkness, his speed decreased dramatically as he felt the power of the laws.


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s Little World contained its own laws, which would be a great help to his strength when fighting someone else.


    For example, in this situation, Zhao Feng was unable to use his Lightning Wings Spatial Flash. Zhao Feng could even feel that his Wind Lightning was becoming weaker, but luckily, he still had his Sacred Lightning Body. Physical strength was the most original power and didn''t require any laws or Intents from the outside world to function.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!"


    Zhao Feng''s figure rose again and released physically-powered lightning.


    In order to face this danger, Zhao Feng used his life essence to push his Sacred Lightning Body higher and momentarily reach the peak 5th level.


    Boom~~~~! Weng~~~~!


    Golden flashing waves around Zhao Feng forcefully pushed away the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s Little World.


    The power of this technique was terrifying when one didn''t care about losing their life essence. With Zhao Feng''s current Sacred Lightning Body, he would be able to kill or maim a peak Emperor or severely injure an unrivalled Emperor.


    "Anger of the Blazing Sky!" Zhao Feng roared as he increased the level of his Blood Devil Sun bloodline on top of burning his life essence.


    Hu~ Shua!


    In this instant, Zhao Feng''s golden body released a wave of flames that started to melt the nearby darkness.


    "This brat!" Even the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s expression changed slightly.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The power of his Little World was smashed by Zhao Feng''s power, and a large hole was ripped open where Zhao Feng was located. Zhao Feng turned into a streak of bright light and shot out of the world of darkness with supreme speed.


    I''ll only be able to counter a Sacred Lord when my Sacred Lightning Body reaches the peak 5th level or when it''s extremely close to the 6th level¡­.


    Zhao Feng''s current terrifying battle-power was obtained from giving away his life essence. Even though he would probably be able to defeat the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord in this state, he didn''t want to overuse his life essence. If he did, he would lose his potential to break through in the future.


    "It''s not that easy." The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord snickered coldly as he thrust out his palm, and a beam of darkness shot straight toward Zhao Feng and seemed to ignore the limitations of space.


    Zhao Feng was cold as he felt something lock onto his body and soul.


    "Not good, that''s the peerless technique of Nine Darkness Palace, the Nine Darkness Sacred Scroll¡­!"


    Duke Nanfeng chased after them and felt the forbidden force of the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s palm. Even unrivalled Emperors would be instantly killed by this palm.


    Whoosh!


    The sunlight radiating around Zhao Feng was ripped apart within half a breath, and it only managed to decrease the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s power by 20-30%.


    "Sacred Lightning Protection!"


    Zhao Feng''s power of Wind Lightning and his Sacred Lightning Body that was currently close to the 6th level merged together.


    Weng~~


    A barrier blocked the palm from the Nine Darkness Sacred Scroll and caused lightning to hum and crackle.


    Boom~~~~!


    Zhao Feng was sent flying, and the barrier in front of him was filled with cracks as it almost exploded. Despite that, he managed to withstand it. After all, at this current moment, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was close to the 6th level, and his defense had reached the level of a Sacred Lord.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    Zhao Feng was finally able to leave the world of darkness, and the wings behind him released a brilliant glow of light that brought his speed to the maximum as he shot through the sky.


    Whoosh!


    A beam of lightning travelled more than ten thousand miles in just one flash.


    "What!?"


    This stunning speed made the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s expression change dramatically.


    Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Fire of Wind Lightning after using the first flash and completed the second flash.


    Just during the time when the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was dazed, Zhao Feng had run away by thirty thousand miles.


    In this life, the power of Zhao Feng''s Wings of Wind and Lightning techniques was stronger than his previous life, and it had surpassed the Wind Lightning Emperor.


    "Brat, let''s see how long this secret technique of yours can last."


    A whirlpool of darkness appeared around the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord as he turned into a stream of darkness that started to chase after Zhao Feng with speed close to the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash.


    In the limitless ocean, the arc of lightning and the beam of darkness were flying quickly, and every time they moved, it was by ten thousand miles.


    "Zhao Feng, I hope that you''ll be able to create a miracle this time as well."


    Duke Nanfeng wanted to join the battle, but he couldn''t even catch up to them. However, Duke Nanfeng had a question. Why didn''t Zhao Feng team up with him and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly? If they did, the chance of them winning would be bigger.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In the limitless ocean, an arc of lightning turned into a youth with a pair of wings.


    Hu~~


    After pulling away from the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord, Zhao Feng quickly drank some Hundred Origin Fruit Juice and one leaf from the Green Water Sky Lotus.


    The leaves of the Green Water Sky Lotus were used for healing while the Hundred Origin Fruit Juice was used to replenish Zhao Feng''s Yuan Qi and the life essence that he had lost before. Due to his body and bloodline, Zhao Feng''s injuries from before were quickly recovered.


    Zhao Feng''s expression remained calm as he looked at the approaching the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord.


    "It''s not realistic for me to personally fight against a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord right now. Looks like I''ll need to use some other methods¡­."

 902 Pursui

    Chapter 902 - Pursuit


    Over the limitless ocean, the Scarlet Wings of Lightning behind the purple-haired youth''s back were like the blazing wings of a phoenix as they radiated a chaotic heat across a thousand miles.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng''s breathing rate started to calm down, and his expression became solemn but calm.


    After merging the Fire of Wind Lightning into his Wings of Wind and Lightning, the distance he travelled through every Lightning Wings Spatial Flash had increased and exceeded his imagination.


    At this moment, he didn''t have too much time to think, so he started to heal himself and recover the Yuan Qi that he had lost earlier.


    Zhao Feng''s heart became heavy when he thought about the short exchange with the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord. If it wasn''t for the fact that he had burned his life essence and forcefully increased the level of his Sacred Lightning Body and Blood Devil Sun bloodline, he wouldn''t have be able to escape with just slight injuries.


    "I''m definitely not the match of a Sacred Lord in a head-on fight. Once the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord gets close to me, the laws of his Little World will restrict me and put me in a life-threatening situation. It was only because the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord wasn''t ready for it that I was able to break through the limitations of his Little World."


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. When there was a large difference in power, one could only use abnormal and unique methods.


    Whoosh!


    A beam of darkness shot toward Zhao Feng''s position in an unrivalled and unstoppable manner.


    In reality, in terms of normal speed, Zhao Feng wasn''t as fast as Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords. His advantage was his Wings of Wind and Lightning, which allowed him to perform the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash. However, it wasn''t that easy to throw off a Sacred Lord.


    Whoosh!


    "Brat, where do you think you''re going?"


    A surge of power shot out from the beam of darkness and suppressed Zhao Feng''s Scarlet Wings of Lightning.


    Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!


    Zhao Feng became an arc of lightning and blinked into the distance.


    "This technique again!? Let''s see how many more times you can use it." The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord gave a cold snicker and suddenly raised his head.


    A bright arrow surrounded by wind and fire suddenly shot toward the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord.


    Boom!


    Ten thousand miles away, Zhao Feng put away the Sky Locking Bow; "Not very effective."


    That arrow didn''t just contain his Scarlet Lightning, it also included the power of his God Tribulation Lightning.


    After shooting that arrow, Zhao Feng flew off once more.


    "Brat, doing this will only make your death more painful."


    A dark light shot out from the storm of lightning and fire. The Sacred Lord Intent and surge of demonic light caused the air nearby to tremble. The ground below was pushed downward by the pressure of the Sacred Lord, and countless cultivators were unknowingly killed. Some of the nearby Kings fell to the ground while those that were weaker lost their consciousness.


    "It''s actually a Sacred Lord that usually never cares about what happens in the world?"


    "But the aura that just flew away was an unrivalled Emperor at most!" an elder with a pale face exclaimed.


    An arrow formed from scarlet lightning once again shot toward the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord and exploded.


    "Shameless bastard!" the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord roared. Every time he got close to Zhao Feng, an attack like this would appear.


    When one reached the Mystic Light Realm, their soul and body would be merged together and their lifeforce would have exceeded the limits of mortals, similar to the Spiritual Race. Their recovery speed was extremely strong, and they could ignore physical attacks when the difference in cultivation was big enough.


    However, Zhao Feng''s Blood Devil Sun bloodline and God Tribulation Lightning countered Sacred Lords'' bodies a little bit. The Blood Devil Sun bloodline had the ignition effect when it touched the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord, but unfortunately, due to the massive differences in cultivation, the flames of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline were completely suppressed. As for the God Tribulation Lightning, although its damage was weak because of the cultivation difference, it couldn''t be healed, so the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was now slightly injured from the continuous attacks.


    What made the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord feel helpless was the Scarlet Lightning arrows. They locked onto him and closed in from weird angles. If he tried to dodge them, the distance between him and Zhao Feng would increase.


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s expression was grim. He didn''t expect that his first battle after one hundred years of seclusion would be like this ¨C that he would be injured by a junior who was only at the middle stages of the Void God Realm.


    "Here''s another one."


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s expression was angry as he swiped out with his hand and summoned a surge of black Mystic Light Sacred power.


    Boom!


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord paused for a moment, and then his expression became even uglier. Part of the Scarlet Lightning arrow actually passed through the exchange with the Mystic Light Sacred power. His Mystic Light Sacred power kept on flying forward while the remaining purple arrow of lightning shot toward his soul.


    Si!!


    "Dammit, he concealed a soul attack within his arrow!" The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s body shook slightly as he roared in a deep tone.


    His Mystic Light Sacred power contained a partial soul attack, but it was completely broken through by Zhao Feng''s own soul attack. Without having any guard up, he took the brunt of the soul attack head-on, and most of it came from the God Tribulation Lightning that was unable to be healed.


    "The soul attack of this junior is close to a Sacred Lord''s!" The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was filled with shock and anger. He could feel that the power of the God Tribulation Lightning within the soul attack was even stronger. The damage he took just now exceeded the total amount of damage he took earlier.


    "Nine Darkness Sacred Power!"


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord suddenly released a black light that rotated around him, and black demonic flames blazed across his body as if he was a Golden Crow that radiated black light. Everything within a thousand miles was covered by this sacred power and turned black.


    "Junior, you can die with pride after making me use the Nine Darkness Sacred Power," the black-flame-covered Nine Darkness Demonic Lord said.


    "The Nine Darkness Sacred Power is a profound technique from the Nine Darkness Sacred Scroll, and it can increase the strength of Mystic Light Sacred power and Intent for a short amount of time. It can even control the laws of Heaven and Earth in a certain area depending on the cultivation of the user."


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord used this ultimate technique just to increase his speed and chase after a King at the middle stages of the Void God Realm. The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord felt helpless that he had to resort to this.


    Ten thousand miles away, Zhao Feng smiled when he saw his soul attack land on the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord. However, the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord suddenly released a pressure that made him feel the danger of death. Even his God''s Spiritual Eye started to thump with danger.


    "Not good, this Nine Darkness Demonic Lord is going to use his full strength now." Zhao Feng''s heart clenched as his armguard flashed, and he disappeared in a flash of silver.


    The next instant, the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord appeared where Zhao Feng was just standing. It was as if he was a demon from hell as he caused the space nearby to crackle.


    "There''s no aura of lightning ahead. Could that junior have used a secret technique?" The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was puzzled, but he suddenly felt a faint disturbance of True Yuan from behind him. "Why is it behind me? Looks like this junior has many secrets."


    Nine Darkness Palace wanted to kill Zhao Feng due to the treasures on him, but from the looks of it, Nine Darkness Palace didn''t even know the full scope of things, and this made greed flash through the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s eyes.


    "So close. Luckily, I left behind some spatial markings of the Misty Spatial World when I was running."


    Zhao Feng let out a breath and started to conceal his Dao of Lightning aura.


    In reality, Zhao Feng could use the Misty Spatial World to run away and the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord wouldn''t be able to catch up at all, but if he did that, it was very likely that the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord would just go to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan or the Yunling Zhao Family.


    The reason why Zhao Feng unleashed the aura of his Fire of Wind Lightning was to attract the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord and force him to continue the chase. However, this had also revealed a hidden card of his, and he obviously still had to deal with a Mystic Light Realm trying to kill him.


    "Little thieving cat, I''ll give this to you." Zhao Feng took out the flaming chariot and let the little thieving cat take control of it.


    "I''ll only be able to fight against the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord head-on when the Sacred Lightning Body breaks through to the 6th level." Zhao Feng planned.


    Even though his soul was strong and he had the power of God Tribulation Lightning, it wouldn''t affect the situation much. On the contrary, after all the God Tribulation Lightning was used up, he would be in an even-more dangerous situation.


    However, once his Sacred Lightning Body broke through to the 6th level, he would have the ability to fight against the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord head-on and resist the laws of his Little World to a certain degree. With a strong physical body and his Sacred Lightning Protection, he would be able to ignore most of the attacks of normal Sacred Lords. On the other side of things, the lifesteal effect of his Blood Devil Sun bloodline would be able to extend how long he lasted in a fight. Using these together with the God''s Spiritual Eye would be the perfect way to fight.


    In the exchange earlier, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body improved a little, but it was still slightly off from breaking through to the peak stages of the 5th level.


    Zhao Feng quickly took some healing medicine, then focused on cultivating and using the Fire of Wind Lightning to refine his Sacred Lightning Body.


    On the other hand, the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was now a ball of demonic light after using the Nine Darkness Sacred Power, and he charged toward Zhao Feng once more with unparalleled speed.


    As Zhao Feng was now relying on the flaming chariot to fly, his speed was much slower than when he used the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, so the distance between them was quickly shrinking


    "Junior, die!"


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord saw Zhao Feng running away on the chariot and was filled with joy when he saw that he wasn''t using that secret technique anymore.


    Looks like this brat can''t use that secret technique anymore.


    A wicked light flashed in the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s eyes as his speed increased once more, and he shot forward. He believed that, with the addition of his Nine Darkness Sacred power, Zhao Feng would be unable to do anything even with his monstrous physical defense.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s figure disappeared under the wave of his sacred power.


    "Hmm? A fake body?" The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s face went slightly red as he became enraged. He had been played around with by a junior; he didn''t expect that Zhao Feng had the ability to create such real-looking fake bodies.


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was slightly regretful that he didn''t kill Zhao Feng right away, because now he was just losing face with every second.


    The instant the fake body disappeared, a faint disturbance of Fire and Lightning True Yuan from another direction was sensed by the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord.


    "Zhao Feng, today I will break your body into pieces and burn your soul!" the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord roared as black flames shot out from around him and flew forward in a frenzy.

 903 Death of a Sacred Lord

    Chapter 903 - Death of a Sacred Lord


    Zhao Feng could sense the instant his Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Root doppelganger disappeared.


    Hu~~ Shua!


    A ball of darkness surged over and turned everywhere it went into hell. The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord focused and confirmed that it was the true Zhao Feng sitting on that weird chariot, and the black demonic flames around his body instantly became stronger.


    "Junior, your death is inevitable. What''s the point in cultivating at the last minute!?" the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord roared as the Mystic Light Sacred power within his body splashed out. The Magnificent Power of the Demonic Dao crashed over like a tsunami. The flaming chariot was like a boat rocking in the waves, about to capsize at any moment.


    The little thieving cat instantly jumped into the Misty Spatial World.


    "Looks like it''s still not enough."


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and was slightly disappointed. There was still a barrier to the peak stage of the Sacred Lightning Body''s 5th level. Maybe it was because the Sacred Lightning Body had become much stronger in such a short amount of time and hadn''t accumulated enough power. He had continuously used a bunch of resources that increased his body-strength, which decreased their effects dramatically.


    He wouldn''t have a breakthrough unless he used some precious resources like the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. However, Zhao Feng had already planned how he was going to use the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, and even if he took it right now, it was unlikely that his Sacred Lightning Body would be able to break through to the 6th level in an instant. If it didn''t, he had no chances of winning against the Little World of a Sacred Lord.


    Zhao Feng got up and put the flaming chariot into his Misty Spatial World.


    "Finally giving up now?"


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord had disdain in his eyes. He was like a demon from hell, and his aura was spreading in every direction.


    Zhao Feng''s expression became solemn as he released his Scarlet Lightning Wings and circulated his Sacred Lightning Body. He retreated and sent out a blazing red punch.


    Sacred Lightning Dominating Fists!


    Large flaming fists thundered toward the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord. At the same time, white light flashed from the Misty Spatial World.


    Weng~~ Weng~~


    Several hundred venomous auras flew out. All of them were Bee Kings, and four of them were colorful Bee Emperors.


    "So many Five Poison Distinct Bees?" The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was surprised as the demonic light around him filled the air and covered everything within a thousand miles. His Little World of darkness descended.


    Boom! Boom!


    The Sacred Lightning Dominating Fists landed on the black flames of the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord and only caused a few ripples before breaking apart, like paper landing on fire.


    As for the Five Poison Distinct Bees, they started to slow down under the restraint of the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s Little World and became much less agile. Because the difference was too big, all the Bee Kings were completely suppressed.


    "Explode," Zhao Feng gently said.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Several hundred venomous bees self-destructed. Even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords wouldn''t dare to pass directly through it.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng''s left eye glowed with divine Intent, and more than one thousand five hundred symbols of God Tribulation Lightning glowed in his soul. This divine Intent turned into a spear of purple lightning that shot toward the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord.


    "Ignorant." The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord couldn''t help but snicker. He had fallen for it already, so he was prepared.


    Zhao Feng''s soul attack was close to the level of a Sacred Lord, and due to the power of God Tribulation Lightning contained within, even Sacred Lords would find it troublesome.


    Hu~~


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s Little World released balls of black mist.


    Shu~~~


    The suppression of the Little World''s laws was slightly weaker against the soul, and the purple spear of lightning glowed when it touched the black mist. The God Tribulation Lightning within surged and wiped out everything in its path.


    Bam!


    The spear completely passed through the black mist that had come out from the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s Little World like a bullet passing through paper.


    "How is this possible!?" The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord thought that, with his Little World''s defense, he would be completely safe against soul attacks, but what actually happened made his mouth widen.


    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Before he could react, the black mist dissipated. All it did was delay the spear for a moment.


    Whoosh!


    The purple spear of lightning charged into the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s soul.


    "Arghh!" The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord screamed as the demonic flames around him instantly decreased, and his Little World started to twist.


    At this moment, the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord remembered the information he had received ¨C Zhao Feng of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo had a mysterious eye-bloodline and specialized in soul attacks.


    He had forgotten about this. After all, no matter how talented someone was in the Dao of the Soul, it was unlikely that they would be able to affect Sacred Lords if they were only at the middle stages of the Void God Realm. However, this brat had concealed himself from the very beginning and only revealed his true strength now.


    On the other side Zhao Feng''s expression was grim and the light from his left eye was faint.


    Before this soul attack, he had only used around a hundred symbols of God Tribulation Lightning at once, which would slowly recover while he was flying.


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord had gotten used to that level of power and thought that it was the limit of Zhao Feng''s soul attacks; therefore, when all one thousand five hundred symbols of God Tribulation Lightning were used, it created a surprising effect and broke through the defenses of a Sacred Lord and injured him.


    However, this had also used up all the God Tribulation Lightning in his purple Soul Sea.


    The instant the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was attacked by the lightning spear, a dark streak of light flashed behind him.


    "Dark Assassination Stab!"


    A dark figure appeared behind the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord. He held a dark sword that glittered with a weird black light, and he stabbed it into the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s body.


    "Dammit!" The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was enraged at being ambushed by a soul attack and physical attack combo. He roared in anger, and the world of darkness started to crackle as if it was about to crumble.


    A beam of demonic Mystic Light Sacred power shot toward Supreme Emperor Dark Night, who had ambushed him from behind.


    Hu~~


    With a flash of light and the crumbling of a doppelganger, Supreme Emperor Dark Night appeared somewhere a thousand miles away. With a blink of darkness, Supreme Emperor Dark Night merged into the space and disappeared.


    "Supreme Emperor Dark Night? Do you know how high the Heavens and how thick the Earth are? Even if you''re here on a mission to assassinate me, you will die."


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s expression was ugly. While Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s attack had indeed injured him as well, it was a physical attack, which was easy to recover from. However, Zhao Feng''s soul attack was hard to recover from. Even now, his soul tingled.


    "Sky Demonic God Barrier!"


    A black barrier appeared around the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord before he locked onto Zhao Feng.


    "Junior, tricks are of no use against absolute power."


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord pretended that nothing had happened to him, and he turned into a ball of demonic light and crushed over with his Little World.


    "Nine Darkness Demonic Lord, if you really want to die, then I will oblige you." Decisiveness appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes as his purple hair blew in the wind.


    "Hmph, ridiculous! Die!" The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord harrumphed with anger. The power of his Little World arrived where Zhao Feng was standing, and its laws suppressed Zhao Feng.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night, who was still hiding, didn''t dare to attack. He specialized in ambushing and killing opponents in one move. Now that the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was on guard against him, he wouldn''t be able to escape even with his Eight Winged Darkness Doppelganger.


    Right as Supreme Emperor Dark Night was hesitating, a voice sounded in his soul, "Leave for now."


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night let out a breath after hearing Zhao Feng''s orders. It looked like his master was going to retreat by using the Misty Spatial World. While they both had battle-power close to a Quasi-Sacred Lord, it wasn''t enough to fight against a true Sacred Lord. It was already incredible that Zhao Feng was able to exchange blows for so long.


    Just as he was about to leave, Supreme Emperor Dark Night realized that the Fire of Wind Lightning True Yuan around his master was surging out, and frenzy had appeared in Zhao Feng''s cold eyes.


    White mist appeared once more from the Misty Spatial World. Zhao Feng held the Sky Locking Bow with his left hand, and he slowly took out a scarlet-golden arrow with his right hand.


    The instant the scarlet-golden arrow appeared, a piercing sharpness pushed aside the projection of the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s Little World. The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord suddenly felt his soul hurt from the piercing sensation. His speed decreased, and he spoke with bulging eyes, "God Slaying Arrow!? A legendary substandard God weapon!?"


    Zhao Feng looked at the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord. His eyes were cold as he lifted the bow, and an invisible force started spreading.


    "This is a legendary substandard God weapon, and it''s a one-time-use item! You''re crazy!"


    The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was flabbergasted and quickly started to persuade him, "No, Zhao Feng, put away the God Slaying Arrow and I promise that the Nine Darkness Palace will never trouble you again in the future."


    Seeing that Zhao Feng had already started to pull his bow, the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord felt as if he had entered an icy slaughterhouse. He started to tremble, but Zhao Feng remained unmoved and pulled the bowstring.


    The instant Zhao Feng poured his True Yuan in, the God Slaying Arrow seemed to awaken and release a sharp glow that lit up everything within ten thousand miles. A Magnificent Power that could make Gods and Ghosts alike cry entered the scarlet-golden arrow, and the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s Little World was pierced with millions of little holes.


    Run! This was the only thought in the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s head right now. He burned his Mystic Light Sacred power and even its foundation in order to survive. Only now did he start to regret not learning any escaping techniques.


    Hu~~ Hu~~


    The God Slaying Arrow sucked in Zhao Feng''s True Yuan at astonishing speed. While the quality of Zhao Feng''s True Yuan surpassed normal peak Emperors, it was quickly being depleted.


    The more the bowstring was pulled back, the more the suction force would increase. The Fire of Wind Lightning was the first to be complete expended, then the Water and Wood of Wind Lightning. In just one breath''s time, all his True Yuan had been depleted.


    After that was his lifeforce, his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, his Water-Ice bloodline, the physical strength of his Sacred Lightning Body¡­ at the very end, this suction force travelled to his Soul Intent, the purple Soul Sea, and his Eye Intent at the very middle.


    Shu! Shu!


    When the bowstring was completely pulled to its limit, the figure of an arrow formed and gave off a screech of metal.


    At this moment, the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord fifty thousand miles away shook as a metallic screech sounded in his soul. It was as if he had been completely locked onto, and no matter where he ran, the arrow would still hit him.


    "No, impossible, I''ve already ran this far out!"


    With the release of this arrow, Zhao Feng fell down with withered skin and dim eyes.


    Whoosh!


    Infinite divine light shot through the sky and cleared all the clouds within ten thousand miles. A golden storm blotted out the sky in the distance.

 904 Return

    Chapter 904 - Return


    On this day, in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, Grand Elder Old Monster Xu, who had been in seclusion for the last couple hundred years, left the forbidden grounds. This stunned the other two Emperors, but before they could ask anything, Old Monster Xu had flown away.


    Old Monster Xu was impatient after knowing that the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord was going to take action against Zhao Feng.


    "I hope that Zhao Feng is still alive."


    Old Monster Xu was in a rush. In reality though, he was more concerned with Zhao Feng''s Hundred Origin Sacred Honey.


    He knew that Zhao Feng was mysterious and strong, but the difference between him and a Sacred Lord was still similar to the difference between Heaven and Earth. How could he be so arrogant?


    All Old Monster Xu could hope for was that Zhao Feng had become stronger and would be able to hold his ground at least.


    "I''ll go to the Duke''s Palace and find Duke Nanfeng first, or else there''ll be no chance of victory," Old Monster Xu planned.


    Firstly, the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord definitely wouldn''t dare to take action against Duke Nanfeng because behind Duke Nanfeng''s back were the Great Gan Imperials. Secondly, he and Duke Nanfeng were both Quasi-Sacred Lords, so they might be able to fight against a Sacred Lord if they teamed up with Zhao Feng.


    As long as he saved Zhao Feng and made some promises, he believed that the latter wouldn''t reject him again.


    "Ehh? Is that the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord?"


    Old Monster Xu was surprised as he felt the magnificent Sacred power, and the True Yuan within his body start to tremble. Didn''t the Nine Darkness Sacred Lord chase after Zhao Feng? Why did he appear here? Where was Zhao Feng? Was he dead already?


    Old Monster Xu was filled with complex emotions.


    "Not good." Old Monster Xu''s expression changed suddenly. He bit his finger, drew a weird talisman in the air with his blood, and disappeared.


    Boom!


    A golden storm full of loud metallic screeches sounded in the air. It was like two armies clashing together, and it was the only sound in the world.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    All living begins below were cut into dust by the storm.


    Bam!


    Old Monster Xu, who was dozens of thousands of miles away, was hit by a shockwave and slammed into the ground.


    When Old Monster Xu reappeared, he looked forward with a dazed look and lost the ability to think. There was a large crater that spanned almost ten thousand miles, and it was dozens of yards deep. The surface of the ground was filled with cracks, and every inch still radiated an invisible piercing force.


    This was all under the fact that the explosion happened in the air.


    It was hard to find the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s aura within a radius of a couple dozen thousand miles.


    "Didn''t the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord go chase after Zhao Feng? Why did it turn out like this?" Old Monster Xu murmured in a dazed manner.


    "Could this be the power of a God Slaying Arrow?" Old Monster Xu remembered the figure of the golden arrow behind the Demonic Lord''s back and raised his head with understanding.


    He didn''t expect that Zhao Feng had obtained a substandard God weapon in the ancient mysterious palace. Substandard God weapons were something that only Demigods could completely control, and the power of a one-time-use item such as the God Slaying Arrow in particular wasn''t something normal substandard God weapons could be compared to. Even Demigods would need to avoid such a thing.


    A Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord who directed matters of the continent had been killed by a middle-stage Void God Realm King just like that, turning into dust right next to Old Monster Xu.


    Old Monster Xu was still in disbelief. Thinking up to there, Old Monster Xu''s back started to sweat; if he had been just half a beat slower or didn''t use that secret escaping technique or went in the wrong direction, he would have turned into dust.


    "Zhao Feng!" Old Monster Xu recovered from his thoughts and flew into the air.


    Old Monster Xu found Zhao Feng very quickly by following the aura of the God Slaying Arrow. At this moment, Zhao Feng''s skin was withered, and he had a pale expression. Blood was still dripping from his mouth as he sat in a ruined cave.


    Old Monster Xu''s footsteps stopped, and his eyeballs started spinning. Just a moment ago, Zhao Feng fought with a Sacred Lord and unleashed a God Slaying Arrow. He should be at his weakest state right now, with no ability to fight back at all.


    Zhao Feng was one of the biggest winners of the Divine Illusion Dimension and had many secrets. If Old Monster Xu took action now¡­


    Old Monster Xu''s eyes were deep, and his right hand trembled with hesitation. At the end, Old Monster Xu gave a light sigh and walked toward Zhao Feng, "Little Friend Zhao, how are you?"


    "Help protect me while I recover," Zhao Feng''s lips faintly moved, and some peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones in his hand shattered as a stream of pure Heaven Earth Yuan Qi entered his True Yuan dimension.


    Zhao Feng first converted this Heaven Earth Yuan Qi into the Water of Wind Lightning since its recovery ability was strong and could heal his injuries. He then converted part of the Water of Wind Lightning into the Wood of Wind Lightning because they complemented each other, then he healed himself.


    The God Slaying Arrow had depleted all of Zhao Feng''s energy. If he didn''t replenish it quickly, there would probably be severe aftermath.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye had seen Old Monster Xu arriving a long time ago, so he waited here.


    Old Monster Xu''s heart jumped. Zhao Feng was still as deep as the ocean. He was severely injured but still acted normal, as if he wasn''t scared of Old Monster Xu attacking him.


    "Okay," Old Monster Xu replied as he spread his Quasi-Sacred Lord aura without affecting Zhao Feng at all.


    Zhao Feng was surrounded in mystery from the very beginning. Old Monster Xu couldn''t see through him and didn''t dare to attack him. More precisely, he didn''t dare to gamble. He didn''t dare to gamble whether Zhao Feng was just acting confident or whether he actually still had power left.


    If Old Monster Xu wasn''t able to get the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey within three years, he would die.


    On top of that, the death of the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord stunned him. Life and death was decided in just a thought, so Old Monster Xu decided to take it steady.


    A smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face while he sat down and recovered. This was a test toward Old Monster Xu; if Old Monster Xu decided to use this chance to threaten Zhao Feng, then he definitely wouldn''t give him any Hundred Origin Sacred Honey.


    As for his source of confidence, the little thieving cat and Supreme Emperor Dark Night were hiding in the darkness and wouldn''t give Old Monster Xu any chance to take action.


    Zhao Feng quickly circulated his Water and Wood of Wind Lightning and started to recover the lifeforce he had lost. He then took some Hundred Origin Fruit Juice and some Green Water Sky Lotus leaves.


    What made him overjoyed was that, after being depleted earlier, his Sacred Lightning Body had broken through to the peak stages of the 5th level. Zhao Feng only needed to drink the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey to reach the limits of the 5th level and create a solid foundation for the 6th level.


    His cultivation was also closing in on the late stages of the Void God Realm, and he would be able to break through after consolidating it for a little bit.


    What made him most moved was that the whirlpool in the center of his eye''s blue lake wasn''t as calm as before; it glittered with a weird light as if it was brewing something.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng''s injuries were quickly recovering and that he was becoming even stronger, Old Monster Xu quickly gave a faint smile and said, "Little Friend Zhao, I''m here to apologize for what happened last time and that I wasted your gratitude¡­."


    Old Monster Xu spoke in an awkward manner. After all, he was extremely old and powerful, and yet he was apologizing to a youth who was only at the middle stages of the Void God Realm. However, when he thought about the fact that a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord had been killed by Zhao Feng, he felt much better.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng was continuing to heal himself and acting as if he hadn''t heard him, Old Monster Xu continued to speak, "I''m here to beg Little Friend Zhao for another portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. If you have anything you want to be done in the future, I will do my best without any complaints."


    "Don''t say anymore. You don''t need me to tell you how precious the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey is. Here''s the deal ¨C you serve me for a hundred years. I''ll give you back your freedom after a hundred years. If you don''t agree, then there''s nothing more to discuss," Zhao Feng''s unquestionable voice sounded.


    Old Monster Xu''s expression froze as he started to think. The value of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey was immeasurable, and his chance of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm would be 80% if he used it.


    Old Monster Xu wouldn''t be able to get a single portion of it even if he traded off all his wealth. If he accepted this offer, that would mean he would have received two portions total.


    However, having a Sacred Lord as a servant was something only the Great Gan Princes could enjoy. What right did this Zhao Feng have to receive such an honor?


    Wait, Zhao Feng''s already reached the middle stages of the Void God Realm at such a young age, and he even has the battle-power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord. He also has the resources from the Divine Illusion Dimension and even substandard God weapons. It definitely isn''t a problem for him to become a Sacred Lord in the future or even higher. No one knows how far he''ll reach, Old Monster Xu''s thoughts spun quickly.


    "There are too many people that need Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, and their chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm and their future potential are much higher than yours," Zhao Feng warned once more before getting up and leaving.


    With a flash of silver, the little thieving cat landed on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and nodded its head toward Old Monster Xu, as if saying that he should agree.


    A figure covered in darkness appeared behind Old Monster Xu and walked next to Zhao Feng before entering the Misty Spatial World.


    This made Old Monster Xu, who was still hesitating, instantly break into a cold sweat. Wasn''t that Supreme Emperor Dark Night, who was ranked 25th in Black Screen Corner and had the record of participating in the assassination of a Sacred Lord?


    He and that cat that was always around Zhao Feng had been hiding right here, and Old Monster Xu actually didn''t notice them.


    From the looks of it, Supreme Emperor Dark Night had agreed to work with Zhao Feng in exchange for some Hundred Origin Sacred Honey.


    Old Monster Xu gritted his teeth when he saw that Zhao Feng was about to leave. "Little Friend Zhao, don''t go. I agree. As long as you give me one portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, what''s the harm in being your servant for a hundred years?"


    Old Monster Xu was going all-in. Although he was already half a step away from becoming a Sacred Lord on his own, that didn''t meant that he would be able to actually do it ¨C his remaining lifespan was simply too short. He only had three years left to live, so either he broke through and increased his lifespan, or he would die and wouldn''t have to be a servant anymore anyway.


    "Okay, come with me." Zhao Feng walked up and put one hand on Old Monster Xu as he opened the teleportation ability of the Misty Spatial World.


    Zhao Feng didn''t believe in a mere promise. He needed to put a Dark Heart Seal in, and since his Eye Intent hadn''t completely recovered yet, he could only take Old Monster Xu away first.


    Old Monster Xu felt a weird sensation and a disturbance of space when the white mist surrounded him, and in the next instant, he was in the Duke''s Palace.


    Is this¡­ the ability to pass through space? Could it be the Misty Spatial World? Old Monster Xu''s heart shook.


    He had heard that the substandard God Misty Spatial World appeared in the Divine Illusion Dimension, but he didn''t expect it to be in Zhao Feng''s hands. No wonder Zhao Feng was able to come to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan unknowingly last time.

 905 Trade Complete

    Chapter 905 - Trade Complete


    Zhao Feng had gained a lot in his fight against a Sacred Lord, but at the same time, he had to use a God Slaying Arrow and now only had one left. Zhao Feng wouldn''t use it again unless he had to because this was his strongest killing card.


    Although it was unfortunate to waste it like that, it was unavoidable against the Sacred Lord.


    He couldn''t stay in the Duke''s Palace forever. If he did, he would owe Duke Nanfeng a huge favor, and the chances of obtaining the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly would become smaller. Furthermore, it wasn''t just Nine Darkness Palace that wanted to take action against Zhao Feng. For example, the nearby Earth Spirit Hall might send Sacred Lords as well.


    He had offended many forces in the Divine Illusion Dimension, but most of them were too far away. Of course, he believed that some of them were on their way right this second. Therefore, Zhao Feng needed something to scare them all, but the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord had come too quickly. Since Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body hadn''t broken through to the 6th level yet, he couldn''t fight against a Sacred Lord personally. Therefore, Zhao Feng made the decision from the very beginning to trade one God Slaying Arrow to end the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s life.


    Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords were at the peak of an era, and even three-star superpowers only had a few. However, this shock was only momentary. Only by putting more effort into cultivation and increasing his own strength to a level where the enemy could do nothing would guarantee his life.


    Duke Nanfeng was uneasy and impatient in the Duke''s Palace. The scouts that he sent out hadn''t received any news.


    "Zhao Feng!" Duke Nanfeng suddenly sensed something. At the same time, he also felt another powerful aura.


    "Duke, sorry for disturbing you." Zhao Feng walked into the hall where Duke Nanfeng was.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re fine? That''s good, you can stay at my place. If the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord comes again, I won''t let him harm you."


    From the looks of it, Zhao Feng had been injured, and Duke Nanfeng felt slightly guilty, so he spoke those words with a pat on his chest.


    "Duke, don''t worry. The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord won''t come again, but I do need to rest a couple days here," Zhao Feng said with a smile, and Duke Nanfeng revealed a puzzled look. The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord wouldn''t come again? What was that supposed to mean?


    He then looked at Old Monster Xu with surprise. Could it be that Zhao Feng and Old Monster Xu together can fight against a Sacred Lord?


    After all, Old Monster Xu had lived for almost a thousand years, and no one dared to underestimate him.


    Old Monster Xu''s heart tightened when he saw how much Duke Nanfeng cared for Zhao Feng. Looks like Duke Nanfeng also really wants Zhao Feng''s Hundred Origin Sacred Honey.


    "Duke Nanfeng, I''ll also be staying here for a while. I hope you won''t mind this pile of old bones."


    Within the room, Zhao Feng sat down and started to recover. His lifeforce had been expended, so Zhao Feng ate some rare treasures from the Divine Illusion Dimension. He then circulated the Water and Wood of Wind Lightning through his body to unleash the potential of the medicine and heal his body.


    After completing all of that, Zhao Feng put his consciousness into his Soul Sea.


    It would be troublesome if his soul was severely injured. After all, this was the first time that Zhao Feng had depleted all of his Soul Intent.


    At this moment, there was only some faint purple mist floating in the air. His God Tribulation Lightning was slowly recovering, and the blue lake in the middle still gave him a weird feeling.


    The blue lake existed within the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye, and he would be able to sense anything that happened to it.


    Seeing that there weren''t any important problems, Zhao Feng ate some resources that helped condense Soul Intent and absorbed the power of God Tribulation Lightning to see how his Soul Sea was recovering.


    At night, a black figure jumped into a certain hall.


    "Reporting to the Duke, the traces of Zhao Feng''s and the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s battle spans across dozens of thousands of miles. There are no traces of the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord."


    The figure in black half-knelt on the ground.


    "How many auras are there?"


    "Two." The figure in black was very certain.


    "However, one of the battlefields contains unimaginable destruction, and there''s still a remnant metallic aura that makes one''s heart shake," the figure in black added.


    Duke Nanfeng''s eyes sparkled before becoming calm once more. "You can go now."


    "Understood."


    "Metallic aura? Looks like the info from the imperials was correct. Zhao Feng did obtain the God Slaying Arrow from the ancient mysterious palace." Duke Nanfeng sighed as shock overtook his heart.


    Substandard God weapons were definitely a forbidden power. Every time they appeared, Heaven and Earth would shake, and it would affect the situation of the lord dynasty and the entire world of cultivation. The value of a one-time-use substandard God weapon was slightly lower, but only relatively.


    "Since the aura of the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord has disappeared, it is very likely that he has been killed by the substandard God weapon."


    While the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s death stunned Duke Nanfeng, he was more regretful about the loss of a one-time-use substandard God weapon. However, Duke Nanfeng knew that, no matter how other forces tried to stop the news of a Sacred Lord dying from spreading, it would still travel around and monetarily grant Zhao Feng safety.


    Three days later, in Zhao Feng''s room, he and Old Monster Xu had completed their talks.


    "Don''t resist," Zhao Feng said calmly before his left eye turned into a purple abyss and released a surge of Eye Intent.


    What powerful Intent! It''s almost reached the level of a Sacred Lord! Old Monster Xu was stunned by Zhao Feng''s Intent and how it had become stronger than last time.


    A mark of purple lightning started to form within Old Monster Xu''s soul alongside the aura of God Tribulation Lightning.


    A while later:


    "This is one portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, and it''s your last chance to break through to the Mystic Light Realm," Zhao Feng said faintly.


    "Understood, Master. I won''t let you down," Old Monster Xu''s eyes twinkled as he said in an honest tone.


    "Old Monster Xu, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan will become my force in the future. I hope that you''ll organize and change it in certain ways. Choose those that are talented in finding information, assassination, and management, and raise them well. For specifics, you can discuss it with the Pavilion Master of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion," Zhao Feng ordered.


    Building an organization required a large number of members and talented geniuses. The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan was perfect for that since it was a peak two-star power. Once Old Monster Xu broke through to the Mystic Light Realm, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan would become a three-star power, and three-star powers were peak existences around the oceans.


    "Understood, Master." Old Monster Xu could already faintly sense something, and he admired Zhao Feng even more.


    Zhao Feng walked to the hall where Duke Nanfeng was located after Old Monster Xu left.


    "Zhao Feng, are you going to leave now?" Duke Nanfeng''s bright voice sounded.


    "Thank you for taking care of me the last few days, Duke."


    "I''ve made my decision regarding the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly." Duke Nanfeng''s figure appeared in front of Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed, but his expression remained the same.


    The main reason Zhao Feng came to recover at the Duke''s Palace instead of somewhere else was to await Duke Nanfeng''s reply on this matter. He believed that Duke Nanfeng should have learned about the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s death by now and wanted to ask Duke Nanfeng about his request once more, but the latter brought it up first.


    "What does Duke think?" Zhao Feng didn''t hide his feelings.


    "Zhao Feng, I''m willing to trade the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly with you. I hope you treat it well." Decisiveness flashed through Duke Nanfeng''s eyes as he waved his hand and took out the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was extremely excited when it saw Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat, and it fluttered its wings around and released a terrifying aura.


    "Thank you, Duke." Zhao Feng was overjoyed. He originally thought that Duke Nanfeng would try to negotiate.


    "Here''s one portion of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey and some legendary resources that can craft substandard God weapons." Zhao Feng handed over an interspatial ring, and Duke Nanfeng''s heart shook slightly when he saw what was in it.


    At the same time, a bitter smile appeared on his face when he saw the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly playing with the little thieving cat. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly meant a lot to him, but from the looks of it, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly seemed to like Zhao Feng more.


    He was also very satisfied by what Zhao Feng offered. The most important point though was Zhao Feng''s future potential. As long as he wasn''t killed by an expert, his future was immeasurable.


    "Zhao Feng, if one day you don''t need the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly anymore, I hope that you can trade it back to me," Duke Nanfeng messaged as he saw Zhao Feng was about to leave. Duke Nanfeng then returned to his room and made preparations to break through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    Seven Aperture Mountains, Feng Province, Continent Zone.


    The Seven Aperture Mountains were known in the Feng Province for being a place of great scenery and great danger. The seven mountains rose and fell to form the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper. It was filled with Yuan Qi as well as many grasses and trees. There were a lot of fierce beasts, so it was a good trial ground for True Spirit and Origin Core Realm disciples of the nearby forces.


    However, at this moment in time, the Seven Aperture Mountains were covered in a multi-colored light and had turned into flat ground. A powerful force spread across ten thousand miles, and even Void God Realm Emperors didn''t dare to approach. At the very center of the Seven Aperture Mountains was a male with black scales. He was bound by transparent golden chains that glittered with weird golden writing.


    "How dare you measly humans ambush the great Destruction Dragon Race!?" the male with black scales roared. He had been extremely careful when coming to this dimension and only caused destruction and slaughter in secret to recover his strength.


    Every time the writing on the golden chains blinked, it would expend the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s divine power. The undying dragon body of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was continuously destroyed by the golden divine light. It always started to heal again, but it was unable to completely recover.


    Four balls of limitless divine power stood outside the array that contained the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and they each took up a corner. One could see a wrinkled figure, a fatty, and two elders wearing golden robes that had dragons on them. Each of them held a golden chain.


    Three peerless experts stood behind the four balls of divine light. All of them held a thinner golden chain, and their every action radiated supreme power.


    If Zhao Feng was here, he would be completely stunned because the aura of each of the experts floating in the air was dozens of times stronger than the Nine Darkness Sacred Lord.


    "Grand Emperor Song, let''s quickly seal it," the flabby-faced elder within the ball of divine light messaged.


    "Continuing will increase the usage of our energy. Relax, Sky Suspension Palace will pay for part of the damages to the Golden Yuan Divine Chains," the wrinkled elder immediately said.


    Decisiveness flashed through Grand Emperor Song''s eyes, and he roared out loud, "Start the sealing!"


    The Seven Aperture Mountains shook as limitless divine light crushed downward and instantly formed a crater.


    The experts behind the four balls of divine light were extremely solemn, and they all circulated their Little Worlds and their complete Sacred power.


    "I would rather die than lose my freedom again!"


    Black flames of insanity appeared in the eyes of the black-scaled male. A surge of chaotic black flames appeared and struggled out from the Golden Yuan Divine Chains.


    Weng~~ Weng~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly released an ancient power of Destruction as it furiously sprayed countless waves of black flames. Space itself started to twist, and the array that the four balls of divine light were guarding shattered. The Golden Yuan Divine Chains that everyone was holding started to tremble and hum.


    "Not good, it''s the power of Origin Destruction!"

 906 Prince Seal

    Chapter 906 - Prince Seal


    The Destruction Dragon Race was ranked 9th in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and they were born for destruction. The growth of any Destruction Dragon would cause untold destruction. They would then comprehend and absorb Origin Destruction and become stronger. Origin Destruction was the source of power for the Destruction Dragon Race.


    "Not good, it''s the power of Origin Destruction!" the flabby-faced elder roared with surprise as his Sacred power started to move.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon radiated an ancient and undying black fire that suppressed everything within ten thousand miles. Space itself became unstable and started to twist as the undying black flames appeared. These black flames burned through the air and started to slowly expand.


    "How is it so strong?" Grand Emperor Song was stunned.


    Origin Destruction was the source of power for all members of the Destruction Dragon Race. This meant that, in order to weaken a Destruction Dragon, they had to decrease the power of their Origin Destruction.


    At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was able to suppress all of the experts present even though its battle-power hadn''t reached the level of a Demigod yet. Even the Golden Yuan Divine Chains were unable to hold on.


    This exceeded everyone''s expectation.


    "He''s destroying the inner dimension inside his body in order to obtain more Origin Destruction!" the wrinkled elder seemed to be able to see through everything as he cried out in shock.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragons could form a world within their body. This was a talent limited to Black Serpent Dragons. This world contained the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Origin Destruction, and the two complemented one another. The dimension of the Black Serpent Dragon could even form the element of Destruction.


    Because the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wasn''t willing to be sealed up once more, he destroyed his foundation, and the terrifying wave of Origin Destruction made the hearts of all the experts present shake. The Sacred Lords further back felt their power become completely suppressed, and they were unable to even release the projection of their Little World.


    "What!? This black loach!" One of the dragon-robed elders had a grim expression.


    "Come with me down to hell!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon roared and released his anger as flames of insanity burned through his eyes. A terrifying aura was released, and cracks started to appear on his scaly armor as beams of Destruction shot out.


    The expressions of the four supreme experts were extremely ugly as they talked with one another. If they continued to try to seal the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, they would not only be severely injured, but the Golden Yuan Divine Chains would also be drastically weakened, and the Sacred Lords behind them might be killed.


    It wouldn''t be the end of the world if the Sacred Lords died, but if news of them being severely injured was learned by the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty, a war between the two lord dynasties would start and might result in the destruction of the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    However, if they chose to retreat, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon might run free. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would be able to easily destroy the Great Gan Lord Dynasty at its peak.


    The four soon came to a decision.


    "Retreat!"


    "Quickly retreat!"


    Grand Emperor Song immediately took back the substandard God Golden Yuan Divine Chains.


    Shu~~ Boom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body exploded, releasing a supreme aura and countless black flames that turned everything into ashes. The entire Seven Aperture Mountains area was covered by the chaotic blast of black flames, and the four balls of divine light quickly retreated from the Seven Aperture Mountains.


    However, the Sacred Lords weren''t as lucky. They didn''t even know that the Ancestors were planning to give this order.


    Any tiny bit of Origin Destruction would suck in the power within Sacred Lords and burn even more fiercely. The damage caused by Origin Destruction had the same characteristic as the immortal and undying God Tribulation Lightning.


    The four Ancestors stood above the Seven Aperture Mountains with twinkling eyes. They spread their Divine Senses, but they were unable to pass through the storm of Origin Destruction.


    Countless small Black Destruction Serpent Dragon figures suddenly shot out from the storm like an ocean of ants. These figures were extremely small and agile as they ran in every direction.


    "Kill all of them," Grand Emperor Song said in a powerful tone, and all the Sacred Lords took action. Mystic Light Sacred power killed hundreds and thousands of Black Destruction Serpent Dragon figures.


    The four Ancestors didn''t do anything. Instead, they locked onto the depths of the storm, but the Magnificent Power they radiated was enough to make the small Black Destruction Serpent Dragons close to them crumble.


    "Shameless humans!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon roared within the world of darkness.


    A five-hundred-yard long serpent dragon with black scales suddenly shot out. Its eyes were red and dripping with blood. There were countless cracks on its scales.


    "Go!" The four elders all released a surge of divine light as they followed after it. The power they released was like a prison and restrained everything.


    No one realized that, when the large Black Serpent Dragon flew into the sky, a small Black Serpent Dragon dove into the ground.


    "The day I return is your final day."


    Zhao Feng immediately entered seclusion when he returned to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. He had only recovered 60% or so of his injuries and still needed some time. He circulated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and multi-tasked while recovering.


    Part of the symbols within his purple Soul Sea merged into the Fire of Wind Lightning within his Crystal Core. Zhao Feng''s injuries and his purple Soul Sea completely healed after three days, and that meant he would cultivate his body and soul now.


    His consciousness focused on cultivating the Fire of Wind Lightning, his Sacred Lightning Body, his Sacred Lightning Dominating Fist, and absorbing the power of God Tribulation Lightning within the Demigod head.


    The power of God Tribulation Lightning was easy to imprint into his Soul Sea, and it could also refine his soul in the process. Therefore, Zhao Feng wasn''t scared of imprinting it into his Fire of Wind Lightning.


    Five days later, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body suddenly shook, and a wave of golden lightning circulated within his body.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled as his Sacred Lightning Body reached the peak stages of the 5th level. Now all he needed to do was take some Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, and his Sacred Lightning Body would reach the limit of the 5th level.


    "I should wait for a while so that the power of the Sacred Lightning Body sinks in." Zhao Feng nodded his head after thinking for a while.


    Another few days later, the aura from Zhao Feng''s body suddenly rose. He had reached the late stages of the Void God Realm, and the Fire of Wind Lightning within his Crystal Core had reached the early stages. The red True Yuan contained more than hundred symbols of God Tribulation Lightning.


    On this day, two figures appeared in the Misty Moon Island Zone. One of them was a tall young male with an ancient green lightning sword. He was very young, but he was already an Emperor. The other was an elder with black robes, a wrinkled face, and one eye that gave off a soul-stirring sensation.


    "Ninth Prince, are you really going to recruit Zhao Feng?" the one-eyed elder was puzzled.


    "The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo offended half of the forces in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty during the Divine Illusion Dimension, and the Thirteenth Prince told the Sacred Emperor many bad things about the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo, especially Zhao Feng. All the imperials have a bad impression of him," the one-eyed elder said.


    "Old Ying, I know what I''m doing," the Ninth Prince turned toward the one-eyed elder and said confidently.


    Old Ying shook his head but didn''t say anything else.


    The two travelled at a very fast pace and soon arrived at the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    "This Ocean Smoke Pavilion is located in a good place. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and scenery are very good." A light flashed through Old Ying''s eyes.


    The Ninth Prince also stopped and surveyed the Water Transverse Sacred Land.


    "The Great Gan Imperials are here. Come out and greet us!" Old Ying shouted as an invisible force covered the entire Water Transverse Sacred Land.


    Boom!


    The Water Transverse Sacred Land shook as beasts screeched in fright and water rippled. The arrays in the mist started to lose control, and all the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion felt their blood boil as they were unable to resist this voice.


    "What strength!" Bi Qingyue''s face changed.


    Whoosh!


    A green-and-blue figure flew out, arrived in front of the Ninth Prince, and spoke in a very respectful tone, "This little female is the Pavilion Master of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. I''m sorry for coming to greet the Ninth Prince so late. Please come in and have a cup of tea. We can talk over anything slowly."


    "Where is Zhao Feng? Tell him to come see the Ninth Prince," Old Ying looked down from above and said in a deep voice.


    "Old Ying, I''ll do the talking." The Ninth Prince stopped him and flew down.


    Old Ying''s expression was grim, but he could only follow. He wanted to see what kind of talent this Zhao Feng had for the Ninth Prince to personally invite him.


    Weng~~


    A surge of Soul Intent suddenly shot out from a hall in the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and covered the entire Water Transverse Sacred Land. The Magnificent Power that was controlled by Old Ying and the Ninth Prince was stripped away by this Soul Intent, and they felt their backs turn cold when this Intent scanned over them. It was as if someone had seen straight through them.


    "This¡­ such strong Soul Intent!" Old Ying was stunned and took back his underestimation. He was now genuinely curious.


    Zhao Feng slowly opened his eyes in the chamber. The deep purple whirlpool in his left eye started to calm down and finally fade. A tiring sensation also washed over his left eye.


    "Peak Emperor Intent that is extremely close to a Sacred Lord."


    The instant his Soul Intent improved, Zhao Feng sensed the unwelcome guests outside the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. This was the warning Zhao Feng had given them for being so arrogant in his territory.


    Within a hall:


    "Since when did the Ninth Prince have so much time as to come here?" Zhao Feng took a sip of tea and asked casually.


    The Ninth Prince gave a deep glance toward Zhao Feng. He still hadn''t recovered from the shock. How long had it been since the Divine Illusion Dimension ended? Back then, Zhao Feng was at the late stages of the Great Origin Core Realm, and within just half a year''s time, he had reached the late stages of the Void God Realm. Such cultivation speed was shocking. He had indeed found the right person.


    The Ninth Prince also knew Zhao Feng''s true identity, which was legendary even in the continent zone.


    "Brother Zhao''s cultivation speed made me look up to you. I''m here this time to invite Brother Zhao to help me." The Ninth Prince got straight to the point.


    Zhao Feng admired the Ninth Prince, who was straightforward and not fake like others who had power. However, he was more puzzled; the one-eyed elder next to the Ninth Prince had the strength of a Quasi-Sacred Lord, and that was just on the surface. On top of that, he was a prince of the Great Gan Imperials, which was the ruler of the lord dynasty. Why would such a person need his help?


    "Has Brother Zhao heard of the Prince Seal?" The Ninth Prince''s expression started to become solemn.

 907 Gold

    Chapter 907 - Gold


    "Tell me about it."


    Zhao Feng could tell from the word "prince" what it was about, but he didn''t know the specifics.


    The expressions of the three next to him stiffened. He was a citizen of the lord dynasty and didn''t know what the Prince Seal was?


    Bi Qingyue quickly accepted this situation. She had known Zhao Feng for a while and knew that Zhao Feng was a cultivation maniac that didn''t pay much attention to the outside world.


    Old Ying''s eye had locked onto Zhao Feng from beginning. The more he looked at Zhao Feng, the more shocked he was. It was as if he could see stuff that others couldn''t. If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng''s reputation was so terrible, he would agree to the Ninth Prince recruiting this helper immediately.


    "The symbol of the Great Gan Sacred Emperor is the Emperor Seal, and before that is the Prince Seal," the Ninth Prince said solemnly after organizing his thoughts.


    The Emperor Seal was the symbol of the Sacred Emperor, and it affected the providence of the lord dynasty. With it, he could enjoy the enormous providence of the entire lord dynasty.


    Every Sacred Emperor was chosen from among the princes, and they had to undergo a lot of hard work and danger to win. The Prince Seal was an important factor for who would win.


    "The current Sacred Emperor only has ten years remaining before reaching the limit. A battle for the position of Crown Prince will happen in four years." Bi Qingyue paused. If they calculated the time, this was indeed the case. She had been busy organizing the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and forgot about this.


    "The battle to become the Crown Prince is an extremely big event, and almost all two-star and three-star powers and families will join in. It''s a big chance to clean everyone''s slates."


    When the Ocean Smoke Pavilion used to be a subordinate force of Nine Darkness Palace, they didn''t have a right to participate, but it was different now.


    "What''s that got to do with me?" Zhao Feng yawned and wasn''t very interested.


    Seeing Zhao Feng act like this, Old Ying''s mouth twitched. "The battle to become the Crown Prince isn''t as simple as you think it is. All the princes fight in a special dimension, and each prince can take in a certain number of people to help them."


    "Zhao Feng, I need your help in the battle to become Crown Prince." The Ninth Prince''s expression was serious, and he had an honest gaze.


    What happened in the Divine Illusion Dimension was deeply imprinted into the Ninth Prince''s mind. The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was able to scare and make all the other forces respect them despite being a mere two people.


    Apart from the Sky Sword Pavilion, who managed to obtain a tattered Ancient God weapon, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo was the biggest winner.


    The Ninth Prince had thought this through. The name of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo wasn''t good. Nan Gongsheng in particular had been eroded by the power of the Evil God and chased after by many forces. He could only recruit Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was extremely mysterious, and he had obtained the supportive substandard God item, the Misty Spatial World. He believed that this item would be of great help when trying to become the Crown Prince.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s battle-power wasn''t to be underestimated either. His eye-bloodline and body were extremely strong even when he was in the Great Origin Core Realm, so it would be even more shocking after reaching the late stages of the Void God Realm. If he managed to recruit Zhao Feng, he would definitely play an important role.


    He also knew that the Eighth Prince and Zhao Feng weren''t on very good terms, and the Thirteenth Prince disliked Zhao Feng as well, so the Ninth Prince came over personally.


    Bi Qingyue stood behind Zhao Feng excitedly. She didn''t expect that her master would be able to attract a prince to come in person. Zhao Feng would definitely not give up such a good chance.


    That dimension was where the imperial experts were put after they died, and there were countless treasures and inheritances. The weakest of them was at the Quasi-Sacred Lord level Some were even suspicious that it contained the Demigod inheritance of the imperial founder.


    It was hard to fathom how many people would fight over a slot or how much they would pay for one.


    If Zhao Feng helped the Ninth Prince and he managed to win, Zhao Feng might be able to become an upper-echelon imperial that could join the Grand Imperial Hall. All of Zhao Feng''s forces would benefit as well.


    Zhao Feng understood the battle to become Crown Prince after the Ninth Prince and Old Ying explained it to him.


    Zhao Feng didn''t really care about the inheritances in that dimension since they were left behind by imperial experts. They were designed more for people who had the imperial bloodline. Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique were already Demigod-level. One came from the Demigod Kun Yun, the other came from the Wind Lightning Emperor, and they were both perfected in the Heaven''s Legacy City. They were already the best techniques.


    On the other end, Zhao Feng also didn''t want to enter the battle between the prince since it concerned the entire lord dynasty and all the forces within. He finally managed to stun everyone by killing a Sacred Lord and get some peace. He wanted to put more time into cultivating and increasing his strength, not pissing everyone off again.


    Furthermore, he wasn''t sure as to which prince the Duanmu Family stood behind. Duanmu Qing, the Purple Saint Partial Spirit, and Zhao Yufei all wanted to make the Duanmu Family great again, and Zhao Feng obviously didn''t want to be against the Duanmu Family.


    "I''m sorry, but I can''t agree." Zhao Feng declined outright, and the hall fell silent.


    The Ninth Prince, Old Ying, and Bi Qingyue felt their mouths drop open, and they were slightly suspicious as to whether they heard correctly or not. They originally thought that Zhao Feng acted in such a bored manner because he didn''t know about the battle to become the Crown Prince and that Zhao Feng would definitely agree after knowing everything. They never would''ve expected Zhao Feng to decline outright.


    "Why is that? Does Brother Zhao not think well of me?" Disappointment flashed through the Ninth Prince''s eyes.


    Of all the princes, he had the most normal birth, and the forces that supported him couldn''t be compared to the other princes. At the moment, he had only recruited a few people and was nowhere near ready. He had also received some news that many princes had managed to recruit some terrifying experts.


    "Zhao Feng, you don''t want a chance like this?" Old Ying was impatient and acted as if he didn''t understand why iron couldn''t just turn into steel. He was originally against the Ninth Prince coming here, but he didn''t expect Zhao Feng to actually decline the Ninth Prince''s invitation.


    "Firstly, I''m not very interested in the inheritances. Secondly, I don''t think you have a big chance of winning. Basically, I''m risking my life for you, but what I get in return pales in comparison."


    If Zhao Feng didn''t give any reasons, he believed that the Ninth Prince and Old Ying would continue to encourage him, so Zhao Feng threw out a couple reasons and declined once more.


    The Ninth Prince and Old Ying half-doubted and half-believed what Zhao Feng said. Who wouldn''t want the inheritance of a Demigod? The inheritances of some experts didn''t just contain battle techniques, it could also include all their treasures and weapons.


    Although Old Ying didn''t think well of Zhao Feng in the first place, being rejected when he and the Ninth Prince came in person made him uncomfortable.


    "Zhao Feng, the benefits of entering the Imperial Tomb aren''t limited to just that." Old Ying''s murky eye suddenly flashed.


    "The Imperial Tomb is a tattered dimension that isn''t very stable. Even now, those stronger than Sacred Kings can''t enter. Therefore, it might contain the secrets or treasures of the ancient era. Furthermore, the ancient aura contained within can increase one''s state of existence, and many people use this chance to break through to the Mystic Light Realm," Old Ying said slowly as he recalled.


    "Sacred King" was the name for those that had reached the peak Mystic Light Realm. They were a tier between Sacred Lords and Demigods.


    Zhao Feng''s expression paused for a moment. A dimension left behind from the ancient era was indeed attractive, and he did want to scout it around.


    This scene was noticed by Old Ying, and he felt smug.


    "Brother Zhao, if you''re willing to help me, then I, Zhou Zihang, am willing to help you do three things within my ability. This deal will stand whether I''m the Crown Prince or the Sacred Emperor."


    Zhou Zihang''s eyes were firm, and the expressions of Zhao Feng and Old Ying changed. It wasn''t because of how attractive his offer was, it was because they could feel the decisiveness contained within his words.


    "Ninth Prince, you¡­?" Old Ying felt that the Ninth Prince was being too rash. How could he give out a promise like this so easily? The promise of a mere prince was small, but the promise of the Sacred Emperor wasn''t.


    "Let me think about it. You can go back first." Seeing the Ninth Prince''s firm eyes, Zhao Feng seemed to see himself when he was back in Sun Feather City and the Broken Moon Clan, so he gave this answer.


    "Sure, there''s still four years left. I''ll definitely leave a spot for Brother Zhao." The Ninth Prince revealed a joyful look, whereas Old Ying shook his head and didn''t think that Zhao Feng would agree.


    Within a side hall, after the Ninth Prince left:


    "Bi Qingyue, was everything that Old Ying said about the dimension true? Did he hide anything?" Zhao Feng asked directly because he didn''t know much.


    "Master may not know, but Old Ying was once in the upper echelon of the Imperial Sky Net, so what the Ninth Prince knows about the Imperial Tomb exceeds the information that the Ocean Smoke Pavilion has. At the moment, there are no suspicious points," Bi Qingyue replied honestly.


    "Imperial Sky Net?" Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    The Imperial Sky Net was the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s biggest information agency, and it had the imperials and the Grand Imperial Hall behind them. They were spread across every corner of the lord dynasty, and some were even embedded in the non-human races.


    "But I also want to suggest that Master participates in the battle to become Crown Prince. I think Master can choose which one to support, but Master should still do it," Bi Qingyue added. Now that Zhao Feng was the Grand Elder of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, they needed permission from Zhao Feng to join.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night was sitting in a corner within the Misty Spatial World and consolidating his cultivation, getting ready to break through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    "Master." Supreme Emperor Dark Night opened his eyes and got up.


    "I need you to do something right now."


    "Master, please give me your order." Supreme Emperor Dark Night revealed a surprised look. This was the first time Zhao Feng had given him a task.


    "Go back to Black Screen Corner and bring all your elite subordinates over," Zhao Feng faintly said.


    "Okay, I''ll go immediately." Supreme Emperor Dark Night was very excited. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng was planning to start his assassination organization, and that was exactly what he wanted to do too.


    Zhao Feng started to think after giving that order.


    "Looks like I need to go to the Duanmu Family." Zhao Feng murmured, but he would only leave when the Ocean Smoke Pavilion had a Sacred Lord or else he would worry.


    Earth Spirit Hall might not take action against Zhao Feng for now after receiving news of a Sacred Lord being killed, but who knew how long it would take him to come back if he left for the internal regions of the continent zone? It was very likely that Earth Spirit Hall would take action against the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. He had to wait to see if Old Monster Xu could become a Sacred Lord or not. If he didn''t, then he''d have to wait for Supreme Emperor Dark Night to break through.


    "Hmm? Gold¡­?"


    Zhao Feng looked at the purple hair on the side of his head and found that there were three or four golden hairs that stood out.

 908 Successfully Breaking Through

    Chapter 908 - Successfully Breaking Through


    Zhao Feng knew that the God''s Spiritual Eye was about to evolve once again and that it might take some time. He needed to prepare. The evolution of the God''s Spiritual Eye awakened the sleeping Origin power within it. Every time it awakened, the stronger the God''s Spiritual Eye would become.


    According to previous experience, this evolution was related to Zhao Feng, but the evolution itself was generally random and unable to be controlled.


    Zhao Feng was looking forward to what changes the God''s Spiritual Eye would bring him this time.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent suddenly sensed something, and he looked toward a certain direction.


    Old Monster Xu is starting.


    With a wave of his armguard, Zhao Feng disappeared alongside a flash of silver. The next moment, in the air above the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan:


    Weng~ Shua!


    A purple-haired figure covered in silver light appeared.


    A golden light covered the forbidden grounds of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and started to form a large purple-golden whirlpool. All the experts and disciples of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan felt their blood and True Yuan shake.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that the disciples lived far away from the forbidden grounds, just a tiny wisp of this aura would be enough to kill those at the True Spirit Realm or Small Origin Core Realm.


    Emperor Ling Qiong nearby sighed. "I hope that Grand Elder will succeed this time."


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had been weak for far too long.


    "The Grand Elder is a Quasi-Sacred Lord, so he will definitely succeed with another portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey." On the other side, the eyes of the Emperor in black robes flashed.


    Weng~ Hu~~ Hu~~


    A forbidden aura that suppressed everything in the world appeared from the golden whirlpool and whistled in every direction. It had the ability to call the rain and summon clouds.


    Emperor Ling Qiong and the Emperor in black robes felt that they couldn''t control their own True Yuan, and they even found it hard to breathe. They couldn''t even form their Magnificent Power.


    Weng~


    A sacred light suddenly descended from the purple-golden whirlpool, and the Yuan Qi in every direction gathered toward this sacred light. The sacred light slowly descended onto Old Monster Xu.


    Weng~ Weng~


    The exact same power within Old Monster Xu''s body resonated and connected with this sacred light.


    "The Sacred Light connected!" The Emperor in black robes revealed a joyful expression.


    Hu~ Boom!


    The purple-golden whirlpool in the air seemed to obtain some sort of power, and it started to quickly spin and absorb all the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within several dozens of thousands of miles.


    Hu~ Hu~


    The Sacred Light that connected Old Monster Xu to the purple-golden whirlpool was extremely profound. A pure white Sacred Light fell and allowed Old Monster Xu to enter a weird state. The aura of Old Monster Xu''s soul started to weaken as it merged into his body. The force radiating from him was enough to shake Heaven and Earth.


    In the clouds, Zhao Feng opened the God''s Spiritual Eye and inspected what happened when Old Monster Xu broke through. The Crystal Core within Old Monster Xu''s body was turning into a whirlpool and absorbing the Mystic Light Sacred power of the purple-golden whirlpool. However, the biggest change was Old Monster Xu''s physical body. The Mystic Light Sacred power had changed it completely.


    "That''s¡­?" Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye caught a wisp of darkness, and a faint smile appeared on his face. A pair of Scarlet Wings of Lightning formed on his back, and he arrived where Old Monster Xu was in seclusion with just a flash.


    "Incoming expert!" The Emperor in black robes was immediately alarmed and spread his Magnificent Power.


    "Wait, that''s Zhao Feng." Emperor Ling Qiong immediately stopped them. Old Monster Xu had told them about the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey.


    They couldn''t believe that Old Monster Xu was willing to serve Zhao Feng at first, but they weren''t too surprised after thinking about it. A hundred years wasn''t much for a Sacred Lord, especially someone who was about to die without help.


    The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had hopes of returning back to its glorious three-star days if Old Monster Xu broke through. The two Emperors were even slightly grateful toward Zhao Feng.


    "There''s an expert coming!?"


    "Isn''t that Zhao Feng?"


    King Lu Yun had a puzzled expression.


    "What does he want?"


    King Liu Qiong was worried.


    The scenery of Zhao Feng killing all the experts from Earth Spirit Hall still appeared in his mind. He slew everyone that stood in his way, and they couldn''t stop Zhao Feng if he wanted to do anything.


    "Zhao Feng? Why is he trying to stop Grand Elder from breaking through?" The youth in black robes was stunned.


    "Zhao Feng, what are you doing?" Emperor Ling Qiong called out as she saw Zhao Feng approach Old Monster Xu who was breaking through. She didn''t believe that Zhao Feng was here to stop Old Monster Xu from breaking through, but Zhao Feng was indeed approaching where Old Monster Xu was breaking through.


    Zhao Feng didn''t reply. A purple light started to form in his left eye.


    "Not good, I''ve been found." The dark light that had been hiding flashed and disappeared.


    Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!


    Whoosh! Shu~~


    Zhao Feng''s speed rose dramatically, and he turned into an arc of scarlet lightning that blinked through the air. In the next instant, he was already a thousand miles away and surrounded by scarlet lightning. An invisible force radiated around him.


    Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!


    "Ha!" Zhao Feng''s body became taller and released a glow of gold and blue. He was like a golden lightning giant that crushed everything with his physical body.


    Boom!


    The air crackled, and a skinny pale-white human figure was squeezed out. Blood dripped from his mouth.


    Mental Energy Spike!


    A beam of purple lightning shot into the skinny and wrinkled male''s soul, and the power of God Tribulation Lightning blinked as it unleashed a barrage.


    "Arghh!" The skinny male screamed in despair as his soul shook.


    Zhao Feng waved his arm, and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly appeared above the male''s head. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly quickly waved its wings, and a half-transparent multi-colored pollen landed all over the male and into his soul.


    The skinny and wrinkled male felt his body go numb as he lost control of his body and True Yuan.


    Gaze of the God''s Eye!


    A purple whirlpool started to spin in Zhao Feng''s left eye, and a forbidden force covered the area. A half-transparent Yuan Soul started to leave the skinny body.


    The eyes of the skinny male were full of fear as he did his best to struggle, but the soul attack, the God Tribulation Lightning attack, and the effect of the Dream Pollen was still there. He had no chance to fight back at all.


    Whoosh!


    The skinny male''s soul was sucked into the dimension of Zhao Feng''s let eye.


    Now that Zhao Feng''s soul was extremely close to a Sacred Lord, his Soul techniques were completely comparable to Sacred Lords. His Sacred Lightning Body had reached the peak 5th level, and Emperors that had low states of existence would be completely suppressed by him.


    The existence of his God''s Spiritual Eye countered all assassins. They weren''t able to escape from him at all.


    The skinny male was an unrivalled Emperor, but he wasn''t even able to last for a short moment against Zhao Feng''s full power. All of this happened within five breaths.


    Five breaths to defeat an unrivalled Emperor. Emperor Ling Qiong and the male in black robes were dazed. How long had it been since Zhao Feng left the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan? Now he had reached such a level after only a few months?


    After the shock passed, the two felt lucky. They were protecting Old Monster Xu, but a strong assassin had been hiding not far away from Old Monster Xu and they didn''t even realize at all. If it wasn''t for Zhao Feng, Old Monster Xu might''ve died the moment he was about to break through.


    The two Emperors rushed over, and Emperor Ling Qiong gave a faint smile. "Thank you, Zhao Feng."


    The Emperor in black robes revealed an apologetic expression since he was just about to stop Zhao Feng a moment ago.


    "I''d obviously help out my servant when they''re in danger," Zhao Feng said before continuing to inspect Old Monster Xu.


    The two were speechless. Although that was the truth, they still felt uncomfortable when someone called the Grand Elder their servant.


    At this moment in time, the purple-golden whirlpool started to descend, and the pure sacred power poured into Old Monster Xu''s body. Old Monster Xu''s body glittered with a flashing sacred power as if he were a god.


    The scenery in the sky started to fade away, and Old Monster Xu opened his eyes after a while.


    Weng~ Boom!


    A Magnificent Power swept in every direction like a storm. This aura ruled supreme above everything and even caused space itself to tremble.


    Zhao Feng and company felt their True Yuan, bloodlines, souls, and Intents become suppressed. Everything within a thousand miles fell into complete silence. Countless beings didn''t even dare to breathe out loud.


    Every action and movement of a Sacred Lord contained the Intent of Heaven and Earth and their understanding of the Origin.


    Emperor Ling Qiong and the Emperor in black robes were almost injured since they were caught off guard.


    "Old Monster Xu." Zhao Feng broke the silence and walked forward.


    Old Monster Xu had just become a Sacred Lord, and he was much weaker than the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord. Now that Zhao Feng''s cultivation had increased and his Sacred Lightning Body had reached the peak of the 5th level, he had the ability to resist against the Magnificent Power of a Sacred Lord.


    Old Monster Xu slowly started to conceal his aura. His face was red and had smiles all over it.


    "Zhao Feng, this old one will remember your help."


    He had been stuck at the level of an Emperor for thousands of years, and his dream was to become a Sacred Lord. All of this was because of Zhao Feng.


    In addition, Zhao Feng saved his life just now. Although he was focusing on breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, he was still aware of the changes happening in the outside world.


    "Come with me." Zhao Feng was slightly tired. He put one hand on Old Monster Xu before disappearing alongside a flash of silver and a spatial disturbance.


    Zhao Feng and Old Monster Xu appeared above the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    This was the first time he had taken a Sacred Lord with him to teleport, and the energy expended was more than ten times what it was in the past. Maybe this was due to the unique characteristic of a Sacred Lord''s body.


    Within the discussion hall:


    "Now that you''ve become a Sacred Lord, you can start taking action in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. Discuss the specifics with Bi Qingyue," Zhao Feng seemed to become more tired as he spoke.


    He then told the two his plans of ruling near the ocean, but the specific plan still had to be discussed. They would wait for Supreme Emperor Dark Night to return before expanding.


    "You will listen to Bi Qingyue from now on." Zhao Feng waved his hand, and a skinny male appeared.


    "Understood, Master." The skinny male stood behind Bi Qingyue.


    Bi Qingyue''s heart shook. Zhao Feng left for five minutes and came back with an unrivalled Emperor slave for her to control. She couldn''t help but feel a warmth in her heart.


    "He''s an assassin hired by Earth Spirit Hall. Old Monster Xu, don''t do anything right now. I''ll need you to stay in the Ocean Smoke Pavilion while I enter seclusion," Zhao Feng ordered.


    "Understood, Master." Old Monster Xu''s expression changed slightly. He knew that, if Zhao Feng''s goal was to rule near the oceans, then Earth Spirit Hall couldn''t exist.


    After giving all these orders, Zhao Feng felt that he couldn''t open his left eye anymore. He entered a secret chamber and activated the restrictions before falling asleep.

 909 Engagemen

    Chapter 909 - Engagement


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped out of the Misty Spatial World and sat on Zhao Feng''s shoulder as it gave a sigh and shook its head, as if saying that its untrustworthy owner was going to sleep again.


    Ever since Zhao Feng had traded for the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly from Duke Nanfeng, the little thieving cat hadn''t been as bored as before. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly also became the little thieving cat''s underling and listened to his commands.


    Now that Zhao Feng was sleeping, the little thieving cat couldn''t take its underling around because it needed to guard Zhao Feng.


    The little thieving cat was also in charge of the resources and the Five Poison Distinct Bees within the Misty Spatial World. The little thieving cat felt a lot of pressure.


    Ding! Ding!


    The little thieving cat threw the old bronze coins into the air and caused a clatter as it landed back into its paw. The little thieving cat seemed to go crazy by what it saw, and its eyes were filled with helplessness.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat called out to Zhao Feng, as if saying that he needed to pay it after waking up.


    "You''re Emperor Withered Shadow, ranked 32rd in Black Screen Corner?" Old Monster Xu was stunned by the skinny and wrinkled male.


    He didn''t expect Earth Spirit Hall to hire such a strong assassin to stop him from breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm. Furthermore, Emperor Withered Shadow had been hiding in the darkness last time he tried to break through as well, but he didn''t do anything after realizing that Old Monster Xu was going to fail.


    Thinking up to here, Old Monster Xu couldn''t help but feel lucky.


    "Earth Spirit Hall, I''ll take revenge on you some time." Hatred flashed through Old Monster Xu''s eyes.


    Zhao Feng''s goal was to rule the coast, so he obviously wouldn''t let go of Earth Spirit Hall.


    Now that Old Monster Xu had become a Sacred Lord, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had returned to its three-star glorious days. It would recruit more disciples, but it would give even-harder tests.


    According to Zhao Feng''s orders, Old Monster Xu was to stay in the Ocean Smoke Pavilion most of the time and familiarize himself with the power of a Sacred Lord, so he gave the management of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan to the other two Emperors.


    Everyone could see the changes to the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, but only some of the upper echelon members knew the true reason. Precisely because they knew what it was, they were stunned.


    From the perspective of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan disciples, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and Ocean Smoke Pavilion had teamed up, and the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan would return to its glorious days. These young disciples felt their blood boiling.


    Elsewhere, in the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, with a top assassin protecting her, Bi Qingyue did everything more decisively. She was more courageous as she started to expand the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. They had resources from Zhao Feng and manpower from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    In just half a year''s time, the power of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion wasn''t weaker than a three-star force. The only difference was that they didn''t have a Sacred Lord themselves.


    Another half a year passed, and Supreme Emperor Dark Night returned with his group of elites from Black Screen Corner. There were two Emperors and eight Kings in the group. The rest were Great Origin Core Realms or half-step Kings.


    Overall, this was a very strong group of elites, and Supreme Emperor Dark Night was in charge of forming the assassination organization, which was to be based close to the Misty Moon Island Zone.


    "Emperor Withered Shadow, why are you here?" Supreme Emperor Dark Night was surprised at seeing someone familiar in the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. They were both top assassins of Black Screen Corner and the difference in their ranks wasn''t very big, so they had talked to each other in the past and occasionally exchanged information.


    Emperor Withered Shadow was also surprised and then spoke, "Master gave me a chance to restart. I didn''t think it was you that accepted the mission of stopping Duke Nanfeng''s breakthrough. No wonder you didn''t return afterwards; you became Master''s servant as well."


    "Hehe, Master can realize my ambition. Us two combined can definitely form an underground assassination organization that''s only below Black Screen Corner." Supreme Emperor Dark Night was very ambitious.


    "I don''t care about that, I just like to assassinate people." Emperor Withered Shadow revealed a cold and cruel expression.


    In a secret hall of Earth Spirit Hall, located in the Ocean Earth Island Zone.


    "The Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and the Ocean Smoke Pavilion have teamed up?"


    "Furthermore, the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion that are responsible for getting information are very active."


    "They''re not putting Earth Spirit Hall in their eyes."


    Most of these voices came from Domain-level Kings, but there were also some Peak-tier Kings and Emperors.


    At the very top was an elder in deep blue robes who floated in the air. He was covered by Mystic Light Sacred power and didn''t speak.


    "Reporting to Grand Elder, back then, Zhao Feng killed two Emperors and sixteen Void God Realm Kings of Earth Spirit Hall. If it wasn''t for the fact that Duke Nanfeng stopped him, I probably wouldn''t have been able to return." Emperor Zhang Xuandong lowered his head in shame.


    "The force that Zhao Feng''s staying in has teamed up with the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, which has just become a three-star power. They definitely want to fight against Earth Spirit Hall."


    "Grand Elder, please make a decision."


    The elder floating at the very front suddenly opened his eyes. He didn''t expect this to happen just as he exited seclusion. A group of Void God Realm experts had been slaughtered by a junior. If news of this spread, Earth Spirit Hall would lose all face. In addition, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan hadn''t asked Earth Spirit Hall if they could rise or not.


    The invisible aura made the entire space tremble, and the hall was dead-silent. Many Domain-level Kings felt their blood freeze, and they became unable to breathe.


    "Hmph, Earth Spirit Hall is the ruler around the oceans." Sacred Lord Sky Splitter harrumphed coldly and made the hearts of all the experts present shake.


    The Elders of Earth Spirit Hall were planning to send a strong force of unrivalled Emperors and numerous regular Emperors to kill Zhao Feng, but they received news that Old Monster Xu had broken through to the Mystic Light Realm and was personally guarding the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. They could only give up and wait for Sacred Lord Sky Splitter to come out of seclusion.


    Seeing how angry Sacred Lord Sky Splitter was, they knew that the Grand Elder would take action himself.


    "Reporting to the Grand Elder, Zhao Feng has been in seclusion in the Ocean Smoke Pavilion for a year, but Old Monster Xu, who is now a Sacred Lord, is personally guarding it," a peak Emperor below warned.


    "Furthermore, Zhao Feng has a close relationship with Duke Nanfeng, who has also become a Sacred Lord."


    "Duke Nanfeng became a Sacred Lord as well?" Sacred Lord Sky Splitter''s face dropped. He didn''t put Old Monster Xu in his eyes because he only just broke through, but Duke Nanfeng was an imperial. If Duke Nanfeng wanted to protect Zhao Feng, there was nothing Sacred Lord Sky Splitter could do.


    However, how would Earth Spirit Hall manage to rule the coast if they let go of Zhao Feng, who had killed two Emperors and more than ten Kings of Earth Spirit Hall? Not to mention that Zhao Feng was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Divine Illusion Dimension and had obtained multiple substandard God weapons.


    "How dare Zhao Feng kill people from my Earth Spirit Hall! I will take action personally," Sacred Lord Sky Splitter said in a forceful tone and then disappeared into the darkness.


    The Elders within the secret hall were filled with excitement. A few of them had survived Zhao Feng''s slaughter.


    I''ll need to go discuss this with Duke Nanfeng, but before that¡­ Sacred Lord Sky Splitter turned into a ball of light and sped across the limitless ocean.


    Three months later, he entered a misty forest. Before Sacred Lord Sky Splitter descended, a voice sounded in his soul, "What''re you doing here? Aren''t you supposed to be guarding Earth Spirit Hall?"


    "I''ve come to find you, Old Ghost, so of course there''s something good," Sacred Lord Sky Splitter smiled and said before entering the depths of the misty forest.


    The weird forest only had one simple and ugly wooden house next to a stream, but there were no living things within ten thousand miles.


    "Tell me what you want. Get straight to the point," a wrinkled elder inside the wooden house slowly said.


    "I haven''t seen you for several hundred years and you''re still the same." Sacred Lord Sky Splitter revealed a faint smile. He knew Old Ghost''s personality, so he got straight to the point.


    He didn''t have much confidence in negotiating with Duke Nanfeng by himself, especially now that the latter had broken through to the Mystic Light Realm. If Old Ghost went with him, he believed that Duke Nanfeng wouldn''t offend two Sacred Lords and the forces behind them for just one junior.


    On top of that, they could get rid of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan together. One three-star power was enough for the coastal region.


    Old Ghost had a weird expression as he looked at Sacred Lord Sky Splitter with twinkling eyes; "Negotiate with Duke Nanfeng, then kill the new Sacred Lord of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan and one Void God Realm junior?"


    "Haha, nothing can escape from your eyes," Sacred Lord Sky Splitter spread his hands and said.


    "Why do you need to take action against a normal Void God Realm junior? That junior should be Zhao Feng, right?" Old Ghost started to laugh wickedly.


    Some news regarding the Divine Illusion Dimension had entered his ears. After all, the Divine Illusion Dimension this time was a lot different from the past.


    "That''s right. You and I will go negotiate with Duke Nanfeng first, and I believe that he''ll give us face. Then we''ll go and kill Old Monster Xu¡­." Sacred Lord Sky Splitter''s eyes were grim as he suggested.


    Old Ghost''s eyes spun as he revealed a deadly expression, "I want half of Zhao Feng''s possessions."


    In the central regions of the continent zone, within a large providence-covered building belonging to the Great Gan Imperials:


    In a glorious hall, the Thirteenth Prince was extremely excited, "Mother, is this real?"


    "Why would I lie to you? Your father has already made an engagement with the Grand Elder of the Duanmu Family."


    Before the Thirteenth Prince stood a beautiful female wearing a golden crown. She wore gold-and-silver robes and had love written all over her face.


    A middle-aged male nearby walked over; "Chen''er, this is all thanks to your mother. She told the Sacred Emperor many times how much you liked Zhao Yufei."


    "Thank you, Mother!" Zhou Chen''s heart was filled with joy. He couldn''t even think about how the Yufei that he liked would soon enter his arms.


    "Because of this, many other forces joined our side and will support you." The eyes of the powerful male twinkled, and Zhou Chen knew what his uncle meant.


    "Chen''er won''t disappoint Mother and Uncle''s hopes. I''m 90% confident in becoming the Crown Prince. Even Brother Second Prince might not be my match." Zhou Chen was extremely confident.


    "Hahaha, looks like Chen''er managed to recruit some strong helpers as well." The powerful male started to laugh.


    The Second Prince was the oldest prince and one of the favorites for becoming the Crown Emperor. He was extremely talented and had prepared almost a hundred years for this battle.


    Since Zhou Chen dared to say such a thing, it meant that he was extremely confident.


    At the same time, within another prince''s room, a unique youth walked back and forth in his golden robes.


    "Dammit, how much does Father like Zhou Chen for him to arrange a marriage with Duanmu Family? Isn''t that basically forcing the Duanmu Family to support Zhou Chen!?" The youth''s eyes were as sharp as lightning as he roared.


    "Seventh Prince, please calm down. We can''t do anything. The Sacred Empress is the Thirteenth Prince''s mother," a male in white who had a white jade-like face said gently in front of the Seventh Prince. "But all this does is makes the Thirteenth Prince''s starting point a bit higher. The battle to become the Crown Prince isn''t just about who has more forces supporting them."

 910 Another Sacred Lord

    Chapter 910 - Another Sacred Lord


    Back in the Tianfeng Great Island Zone, one black and one white figure surrounded by Sacred power sped across the limitless ocean and soon arrived at the Duke''s Palace. Sacred Lord Sky Splitter and Old Ghost floated in the clouds above the Duke''s Palace and released surges of their terrifying aura downward.


    Hu~~


    At this instant, all the beings within several thousand miles of the Duke''s Palace felt unable to breathe and froze.


    "Hmm? Duke Nanfeng isn''t here?" Sacred Lord Sky Splitter scanned over the place with his senses and revealed a surprised expression.


    "Sacred Lords, this one is the leader of the Duke''s Palace guards. Is there anything I can help you with?" A golden-robed general who was a Peak-tier King slowly flew up and greeted the two Sacred Lords.


    This male was extremely uneasy. He had never seen two Sacred Lords come to the Duke''s Palace ever since he had become a guard. The only one he had seen was the Demonic Dao Sacred Lord from not long ago. What was going on? Emperors and Sacred Lords were coming and going constantly all of a sudden.


    "Where has Duke Nanfeng gone?" Sacred Lord Sky Splitter gazed down as if he was a god.


    The golden-robed general instantly felt a pressure bear down on him that made him unable to breathe and caused him to almost faint. "Duke Nanfeng has left for the inner regions of the lord dynasty a couple days ago."


    The two Sacred Lords looked at each other with surprise, then revealed a deadly smile. Duke Nanfeng wasn''t even here. This meant that they had no pressure. Even if Zhao Feng was killed, Duke Nanfeng couldn''t do anything to them even if he wanted to.


    At the same time, regret flashed through Sacred Lord Sky Splitter''s eyes. If Duke Nanfeng had left a while earlier, he wouldn''t have needed to go get Old Ghost and split half of Zhao Feng''s possessions.


    The golden-robed general instantly took a big breath as the two Sacred Lords left, then he returned to the Duke''s Palace, unable to calm down.


    When they were flying, Old Ghost suddenly remembered something and asked, "I remember that the Ocean Smoke Pavilion is one of Nine Darkness Palace''s subordinate forces. Now that Zhao Feng''s taken over the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, why isn''t there any reaction from Nine Darkness Palace?"


    Nine Darkness Palace used to be a four-star power, and although it was a bit weaker now, it was still a peak three-star force and the leader of the Demonic Dao forces. Old Ghost didn''t dare to think about Nine Darkness Palace even if he had several more guts.


    Sacred Lord Sky Splitter had just come out of seclusion and only knew a limited amount of information, but he pretended to be very confident, "The Nine Darkness Palace is located in the inner region of the continent and can''t do much to this place since they''re too far away. Furthermore, the Nine Darkness Palace is focusing on Nan Gongsheng, who has the power of the Evil God."


    Old Ghost couldn''t help but be surprised when Nan Gongsheng was mentioned.


    "It''s really incredible that Nan Gongsheng can inherit the power of a God."


    Old Ghost sighed in his heart. He had broken through to the Mystic Light Realm ten thousand years ago, but he was still only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm. A junior who was only a King had been able to receive the power of a God. That was quite a fortune. If he was able to comprehend just the slightest amount of divine power, he would probably be able to break through to the middle stages of the Mystic Light Realm immediately.


    "Hmph, so what if he got the power of a God? He''s still not strong enough, and that''s his sin." Sacred Lord Sky Splitter snickered coldly and felt angry as well, but he became excited when he thought about Zhao Feng''s possessions. Apparently, he had obtained many legendary materials in the ancient mysterious palace and two substandard God weapons.


    Sacred Lord Sky Splitter''s eyes spun as he spoke, "Old Ghost, you take care of Old Monster Xu while I go take care of Zhao Feng. We can''t give him the chance to use the Misty Spatial World."


    "Okay," Old Ghost agreed on the surface, but he knew what Sacred Lord Sky Splitter was thinking.


    The Misty Spatial World was a support-type item and didn''t require the user''s cultivation to be very high. As long as they got it, they could use it right away. If Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World to run away, they wouldn''t be able to chase after him, but the God Slaying Arrow was different. A measly King wouldn''t be able to fully unleash its power. Even those at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm could only use half the power of a substandard God weapon.


    Several months later, in the Misty Moon Island Zone, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was much bigger than before and had many members travelling around. Bi Qingyue would spend a lot of time in the information hall reading the news.


    The earlier one got to know the news, the more valuable it was. This was the motto for all information agencies.


    A surge of power suddenly covered the entire Water Transverse Sacred Land, and this power was enough to change Heaven and Earth and make everyone bow down. The members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion felt unable to breathe, and those below the King-level instantly spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Old Monster Xu immediately charged out and was stunned by the white and black balls of light in the distance.


    Two Sacred Lords!


    One of them was Sacred Lord Sky Splitter from Earth Spirit Hall while the aura of the other Sacred Lord was extremely weird, and his aura was even stronger than Sacred Lord Sky Splitter.


    Old Monster Xu''s expression was bitter. He didn''t expect that this would be his first battle after becoming a Sacred Lord.


    Bi Qingyue took a deep breath, and the other two Emperors of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion also quickly came out. Their hearts dropped when they saw the sun-like and moon-like figures in the sky.


    Sacred Lord Sky Splitter''s Divine Sense soon found Zhao Feng''s location, but he paused. Wasn''t Zhao Feng in seclusion? Why was he just lying there sleeping?


    Old Ghost also sensed the sleeping Zhao Feng at the same time.


    "Hmph, I can feel a strong power starting to awaken in his left eye," Old Ghost snickered coldly and messaged.


    Sacred Lord Sky Splitter gave a wicked laugh. "Then let him never wake up."


    Old Monster Xu slowly floated into the air and blocked the pressure for the other members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. "Sacred Lord Sky Splitter, you''re a Sacred Lord and yet you want to attack a junior?"


    "Hmph, those that accomplish big tasks don''t need to care about the details."


    Sacred Lord Sky Splitter didn''t talk about logic with Old Monster Xu, he just circulated the Mystic Light Sacred power within his body and was about to attack while Old Ghost watched from above. He didn''t even need to do anything since it would be too boring, but Old Ghost''s expression suddenly changed, and he turned around.


    Whoosh! Boom!


    A ball of green light shot toward them like a falling meteor. The expressions of Old Ghost and Sacred Lord Sky Splitter both changed as they felt the enmity within the green light.


    At the same time, all the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were stunned. The combination of three Sacred Lords made them feel as if the sky was going to fall.


    At this moment, three Sacred Lords had appeared, and all the members fell into despair.


    Even normal three-star powers wouldn''t be able to fight back against three Sacred Lords.


    A male with snow-white hair and starry eyes walked out from the green light. His looks were perfect. His Divine Sense scanned toward where Zhao Feng was sleeping.


    Old Monster Xu and Bi Qingyue looked at each other. They felt as if this Sacred Lord wasn''t their enemy, so they felt some hope.


    "I am Sacred Lord Sky Splitter of Earth Spirit Hall. May I ask who you are?" Sacred Lord Sky Splitter stood next to Old Ghost and asked.


    The aura of this Sacred Lord was not simple, but they wouldn''t be scared even if he was here to help the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. After all, from the looks of it, he was a Wood-elemental Sacred Lord that didn''t specialize in battle.


    "Duanmu Qing of the Duanmu Family," the male with white hair said. He wasn''t scared of the two Sacred Lords auras.


    One of the Eight Big Families? The expressions of Sacred Lord Sky Splitter and Old Ghost were like two deflating balloons. The Eight Big Families were extremely old and heavily related to the lord dynasty.


    Even though the Duanmu Family was ranked last, it wasn''t something a three-star superpower could mess with, let alone the merely-average three-star Earth Spirit Hall.


    Old Monster Xu and Bi Qingyue were even more stunned. They didn''t expect that this Sacred Lord would be from one of the Eight Big Families. Could their master have some connections with the Eight Big Families?


    "May I know why Sacred Lord Duanmu is here?" Sacred Lord Sky Splitter gave a faint smile and asked. If he was a Sacred Lord of the Duanmu Family that was here for Zhao Feng''s possessions, then they could still discuss things.


    Old Ghost had a grim expression, but he was helpless.


    "I''m just here to find my disciple." Duanmu Qing looked at the two as his white hair blew in the wind.


    "Disciple?" Sacred Lord Sky Splitter paused for a moment. Ever since Duanmu Qing arrived, his Divine Sense had been inspecting Zhao Feng. Sacred Lord Sky Splitter thought that he was here for Zhao Feng''s possessions as well, but he was here to find his disciple?


    Disciple...!? Sacred Lord Sky Splitter''s mouth twitched, and he was speechless. Could Zhao Feng be the disciple of a Sacred Lord from the Duanmu Family? How was that possible? How was Zhao Feng a disciple of a Sacred Lord of the Duanmu Family? Why didn''t anyone from Earth Spirit Hall tell him this? If they took action against Zhao Feng, they would be offending the Duanmu Family.


    "That''s right, my disciple is called Zhao Feng," Duanmu Qing said confidently as he came over to Old Monster Xu''s side and looked at Sacred Lord Sky Splitter and Old Ghost.


    Old Monster Xu was overjoyed. He didn''t expect his master to be directly related to the Duanmu Family. Bi Qingyue let out a breath and admired her master even more.


    Those that were still conscious acted as if they had woken up from a dream and were filled with excitement.


    "Grand Elder is from the Duanmu Family?"


    "That''s one of the Eight Big Families of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty!"


    "A Sacred Lord from the Duanmu Family is here to save us!"


    Sacred Lord Sky Splitter and Old Ghost had ugly expressions and remained motionless. If they fought right now, they would still have the advantage, but they couldn''t and didn''t dare to.


    "Well, we were just passing by, we won''t be interrupting you."


    "Goodbye, Sacred Lord Duanmu."


    The two Sacred Lords gave deep sighs and left helplessly.


    At this moment in time, one side of Zhao Feng''s hair had turned faint gold, and a ripple of gold spread throughout the air.


    This golden ripple wasn''t True Yuan nor Soul Intent, and it passed through everyone''s body.


    Everyone trembled and felt uneasy. The instant the golden ripple scanned through them, they felt as if all their secrets had been exposed.


    The two Sacred Lords looked toward where Zhao Feng was sleeping with puzzlement before quickly leaving.


    Those from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion let out a breath and were filled with joy.


    Duanmu Qing slowly descended and spoke, "After this evolution, Zhao Feng''s God Eye will become even stronger."

 911 Soul Body

    Chapter 911 - Soul Body


    Duanmu Qing slowly descended and spoke, "After this evolution, Zhao Feng''s God Eye will become even stronger."


    He had personally witnessed the evolution of Zhao Feng''s left eye before in the Mystic True Sacred Clan and how strong it had become. Even Zhao Yufei, who had the help of the Little World and the Purple Saint Partial Spirit, couldn''t fight back against him.


    However, the disturbance of energy that Zhao Feng had just released didn''t seem to pass through the soul-dimension. Instead, it passed through the physical dimension. It didn''t contain any pattern or laws, which made Duanmu Qing confused.


    "After the previous evolution, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent became much stronger. Who knows what''ll happen this time?" Duanmu Qing was full of smiles as he looked forward to it.


    "Sacred Lord Duanmu, please come in." Bi Qingyue immediately went forward and didn''t dare to be careless.


    This Sacred Lord was from the Duanmu Family and was her master''s master. At the critical moment, he even saved the Ocean Smoke Pavilion after Sacred Lord Sky Splitter and the other Sacred Lord were scared away.


    Although Old Monster Xu was also a Sacred Lord, he could only follow behind Duanmu Qing.


    "Sacred Lord Duanmu, your disciple is still in seclusion," Bi Qingyue said with an apologetic smile.


    "How long has he been sleeping for?" Duanmu Qing asked.


    "Almost a year and a half." Bi Qingyue replied honestly, and Duanmu Qing was surprised. He didn''t think that Zhao Feng had been sleeping for so long. Last time, he only slept for a couple months.


    "I''ll wait here until Zhao Feng wakes up."


    Duanmu Qing stayed here, and all the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion felt as if the future was paved with gold. If they were related to one of the Eight Big Families, no other force around the oceans would be able to do anything to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. Hot blood started to burn in these disciples.


    Sacred Lord Sky Splitter and Old Ghost were both extremely frustrated after they left, and they summoned a storm that turned the world dark. The power was enough to shatter Heaven and Earth.


    "Old man, learn the full situation first before you plan to do anything." Old Ghost''s gaze was icy as he left with a cold aura. He lived alone, but Sacred Lord Sky Splitter was in a force that had its own information agency and still ended up like this.


    Sacred Lord Sky Splitter was enraged when he returned to Earth Spirit Hall, which made everyone panic. Most of them didn''t even know why Grand Elder was so angry.


    "Emperor Lightspeed, give me all the information about Zhao Feng!" Sacred Lord Sky Splitter roared, and a young Emperor below trembled. Under the anger of the Sacred Lord, he felt as if lightning was about to explode around him at any moment and that half his foot had already stepped into the doors of death.


    "Understood, Grand Elder. I will find out everything about Zhao Feng," Emperor Lightspeed said in a trembling voice.


    Three months later, Sacred Lord Sky Splitter received a report, and his heart shook when he looked over it.


    After Zhang Xuandong from Earth Spirit Hall left the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan back then, an Emperor from the Tie Family arrived.


    Bloodline of the Tie Family! Sacred Lord Sky Splitter''s mind shook. The Eight Big Families again!


    The Tie Family was one of the strongest families; it was comparable to a peak three-star power.


    "The Nine Darkness Demonic Lord from Nine Darkness Palace arrived at the Duke''s Palace and took Zhao Feng away?"


    Sacred Lord Sky Splitter''s expression turned from surprise to shock. A Sacred Lord from Nine Darkness Palace arriving around here was extremely important news, but they only just received it? This information agency was a group of trash.


    That wasn''t the main point though. There were signs of a battle between the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord and Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng returned while the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord disappeared.


    The report turned into ashes.


    As time passed, Duanmu Qing would occasionally use his Divine Sense to look over Zhao Feng. He was currently living in the Ocean Smoke Pavilion not too far away from Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s body would occasionally twitch while he was sleeping. His faint golden hair was like sacred light; it gave a calm and supreme feeling.


    In the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye, he had regained some of his consciousness and witnessed what was happening.


    At the very beginning, a wisp of golden light appeared in the depths of the blue lake. Then, more and more faint golden light shot out. These wisps of golden light weren''t Eye Intent, and Zhao Feng couldn''t recognize what it was even after inspecting it for a long time.


    Part of the purple mist above the blue lake started to fade after this light shone onto it. Although the difference was very small, Zhao Feng could still feel it. The elements of Wind and Lightning in the mist were both decreasing.


    At the very beginning Zhao Feng was stunned. Did this mean that this evolution of his God''s Eye would decrease his Soul Intent? However, the wisp of faint golden light turned into two wisps, then into a beam.


    Although more and more of the purple mist was disappearing, he could feel that his Soul Intent wasn''t becoming weaker. Where did the disappeared purple mist go?


    Zhao Feng could only wait. More and more faint golden light gathered above the lake and formed a complete beam that shone over the entire purple mist.


    "The power of God Tribulation Lightning is disappearing!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but exclaim.


    He could accept the purple mist disappearing. After all, it was created by the God''s Eye in the first place. However, Zhao Feng couldn''t stay calm after the power of God Tribulation Lightning disappeared.


    God Tribulation Lightning countered everything in the world to a certain degree, but even it was fading away. The God Tribulation Lightning had always been his killing move and had helped him many times in dangerous situations. Zhao Feng was even hoping to use it to face his own God Tribulation in the future.


    As time passed, both the purple mist and the God Tribulation Lightning were fading away.


    "Wait, my Soul Intent hasn''t become weaker. There''s a weird sensation to it instead."


    Zhao Feng suddenly felt that something was off. His consciousness started to become clearer as the God''s Eye evolved.


    At the very beginning, Zhao Feng could only inspect it, but now he could feel it clearly ¨C 20% of the purple mist had disappeared, but instead of his Soul Intent becoming weaker, it had become slightly stronger. If it wasn''t for the weird feeling in Zhao Feng''s soul, he wouldn''t have felt this.


    The golden light from the blue lake became brighter and brighter. He felt as if something was about to appear. On a certain day, the golden light surged, and Zhao Feng could see a figure below the lake.


    Duanmu Qing had his Divine Sense locked onto Zhao Feng.


    At this moment in time, anyone that saw Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to take their eyes off him. His hair was a faint gold and radiated a golden light that even Sacred Lords would be surprised by.


    Even the mysterious little thieving cat wasn''t able to stand it. As the light filled the air, the little thieving cat jumped into the Misty Spatial World.


    "Looks like Zhao Feng''s God''s Eye is finally about to awaken its true power!" Duanmu Qing couldn''t help but exclaim. If that wasn''t the case, then Zhao Feng wouldn''t have needed to sleep for so long.


    In the dimension of his left eye, Zhao Feng stared at a golden ball on the surface of the blue lake. It was perfect and smooth, and it was like the sun of his left eye''s dimension. It radiated an ancient aura, but it gave Zhao Feng a familiar feeling.


    The golden ball radiated a faint golden light that seemed to pass through everything. This light shone into the mist, and the purple mist started to disappear several times faster than before, while a whirlpool formed in the lake where the golden ball was.


    Di!


    Water flowed through the whirlpool and disappeared into the golden ball. A numbing and painful sensation suddenly washed through Zhao Feng''s soul and made him groan.


    "My soul!"


    All of Zhao Feng''s senses were gathered onto his soul, and he was completely stunned. He realized that his soul was starting to condense, and an occasional flash of lightning would appear. However, Zhao Feng could recognize that this wasn''t normal lightning ¨C it was actually the God Tribulation Lightning.


    "Could it be that the disappeared purple mist and God Tribulation Lightning merged into my soul?"


    Zhao Feng was unable to calm down.


    Although the purple Soul Sea was formed from the Soul power of his blue lake, the power of God Tribulation Lightning had merged directly into his soul.


    Zhao Feng could only think of one word ¨C incredible.


    He suddenly remembered something. Apart from bloodlines and bodies, there was something else that was just as rare as a top bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Because these "soul bodies" were extremely rare and unable to be properly researched, it was unknown what it truly was or whether it was good or not. Some even called it a sickness of the soul.


    Zhao Feng didn''t know if this was natural or whether his soul was considered unique or not. Since he didn''t understand, Zhao Feng didn''t think too much about it. However, he knew that the purple Soul Sea and the God Tribulation Lightning hadn''t disappeared; they had merged directly into his soul.


    However, Zhao Feng couldn''t find any of his Wind elemental power.


    It was hard to say how long went by until the purple Soul Sea disappeared and left only the blue lake and golden ball in the dimension of his left eye.


    The size of the lake decreased to five hundred yards and was being absorbed by the golden ball.


    Four hundred yards¡­ three hundred yards¡­ one hundred yards. The blue lake completely disappeared and was absorbed by the golden ball, but the ball''s size didn''t change at all.


    Weng~~


    The mysterious golden ball released a layer of golden light that passed through everything ¨C through this dimension and into the outside world.


    Zhao Feng understood that this evolution had almost ended, but he didn''t know the secrets of this golden ball yet or what the God''s Eye would bring him.


    Within a quiet palace somewhere in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, a girl in white was drawing with closed eyes. She suddenly sensed something and opened her eyes as blood dripped from her mouth. It was a pair of eyes that didn''t have any pupils, but they seemed to be able to see through everything.


    "Master is correct ¨C it is indeed the 9th God''s Eye."


    The girl looked down at her drawing. It was a handsome male with golden hair and eyes that seemed to be able to see through any secrets in the world.


    In a quiet and calm sea of bamboo, an elder and an elegant girl were playing chess. The elder seemed to be thinking and didn''t know what to do next. His eyes suddenly dimmed, and black lines appeared. It was as if it had fallen into the Samsara of Hell and Sin.


    "Disciple, let''s end here today." The eyes of the elder returned to normal.


    "Master, you''ll never be my match in terms of chess." The girl gave a smile, and her beauty seemed to make the sea of bamboo shake.

 912 Inspecting the Core

    Chapter 912 - Inspecting the Core


    Duanmu Qing, who was in seclusion, opened his eyes. Just now, the mysterious wave passed through him, and the sensation was stronger than before. It was as if everything within his body was controlled by that mysterious power.


    Duanmu Qing scanned his Divine Sense to where Zhao Feng was in seclusion. The faint golden light that Zhao Feng was radiating was starting to fade, and that mysterious power had disappeared.


    "Zhao Feng should awaken soon."


    Duanmu Qing was overjoyed, but he gave a deep sigh and had a complicated expression after remembering why he was here.


    Within the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye, the remaining mysterious golden ball still gave off a faint golden light. This golden light didn''t light up the dark dimension much, it just passed through to an unknown place.


    The golden light that radiated from the golden ball started to calm down, and the dimension became peaceful once more. Slowly but steadily, Zhao Feng could sense the outside world, and he started to move.


    Zhao Feng slowly got up, but he found that he couldn''t open his left eye.


    "So heavy!"


    Zhao Feng tried his best to open his left eye.


    Weng~~


    The instant his left eye opened, an invisible wave spread wherever his gaze went.


    Zhao Feng was instantly dazed, and he froze.


    What was going on? Was this still the world he was from? Everything that he saw became half-transparent and filled with golden lines.


    Zhao Feng looked at a certain point on the wall ahead and started to enlarge it. Countless atoms were perfectly condensed together, and Zhao Feng inspected one of the atoms. This atom enlarged as well, and he could see billions of particles.


    "This¡­" Zhao Feng took in a deep breath. He could see the particles extremely clearly and how they made up this wall.


    Sii!


    Zhao Feng was completely stunned, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. He immediately circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and looked at his right hand.


    Hu~~


    His right hand turned into a faint golden palm that was surrounded by Yuan Qi and lightning. Zhao Feng focused on one of the lightning arcs and enlarged it. He saw countless smaller arcs of lightning join with one another and connect with the True Yuan on his palm. His left eye then enlarged one of the small arcs of lightning.


    Magnify!


    Zhao Feng could see atoms stuck on top of one another to form the arc of lightning. A large amount of information entered his mind and was stored by the golden ball within the dimension of his left eye.


    Zhao Feng felt his left eye hurt, so he closed it.


    "This ability seems to let me see how anything is constructed." Zhao Feng came to this stunning conclusion.


    His left eye could even see all of the atoms that made up an arc of lightning. He could magnify an item limitlessly and see through the core of anything. This meant that Zhao Feng would see billions of particles in a single drop of water.


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. Maybe that wasn''t its only use.


    "Zhao Feng." Duanmu Qing arrived outside the chamber.


    "Master." Zhao Feng had already sensed that Duanmu Qing was here, but he was focused on the evolution of his left eye.


    "Congratulations on Master breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm." Zhao Feng came out and bowed in congratulations.


    Breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm dramatically increased Duanmu Qing''s lifespan, and he seemed more energetic.


    "This is all thanks to you helping in the ancient mysterious palace and risking yourself to obtain the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey."


    Zhao Yufei had told Duanmu Qing all the things that happened in the Divine Illusion Dimension, including how Zhao Feng had re-cultivated.


    Duanmu Qing felt slightly regretful about that. If Zhao Feng hadn''t restarted, who knew what kind of height he would have reached by now.


    "I never would have thought that you would be able to kill the Emperor of Death."


    Duanmu Qing sighed in his heart. The Emperor of Death was even older than himself, and even though he had now broken through to the Mystic Light Realm, he still wouldn''t have wanted to offend him, but Zhao Feng had slain a legend of the Cang Ocean.


    "Hmph, he chased after me for seven years. Since I had the chance, why would I let him live?"


    When mentioning the Emperor of Death, Zhao Feng remembered how he had to run from that shadow of Death for seven years. Such a humiliation couldn''t end easily.


    Duanmu Qing nodded his head. His disciple had surpassed him a long time ago.


    Duanmu Qing inspected Zhao Feng with praise. His holy golden hair, his golden eye that seemed to contain everything, and his handsome face gave off a superior atmosphere.


    When looking at the golden eye, Duanmu Qing felt his heart shake, as if all his secrets had been exposed.


    "Zhao Feng, after this evolution of the God Eye, your true strength has probably reached the level of an unrivalled Emperor, right?" Duanmu Qing asked curiously. He had never been able to see through this disciple of his, whether it was in the past or now.


    Zhao Feng''s cultivation had now reached the late stages of the Void God Realm, and his battle-power was three levels higher than his cultivation. This estimation was enough to be ranked in the top five of the Imperial Genius rankings.


    At the moment, Zhao Feng was ranked 8th on the Imperial Genius rankings, but Duanmu Qing believed that Zhao Feng''s rank should be even higher.


    "The left eye only gave me a supportive ability this time." Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile and told Duanmu Qing the truth. However, even though it was "just" a supportive ability, it had definitely surpassed one''s imagination, and Zhao Feng couldn''t explain it properly. He also didn''t know whether his left eye had any other new abilities since he hadn''t tested it yet.


    "Master, you probably didn''t come all the way out here just to visit me, right?" Zhao Feng could see something from Duanmu Qing''s expression.


    "There is indeed something." Duanmu Qing didn''t know how to start.


    "Is it related to me?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "It''s related to Yufei." Duanmu Qing sighed.


    "What''s wrong with Yufei?" Zhao Feng was puzzled. Zhao Yufei was in the Duanmu Family, one of the Eight Big Families, so what kind of danger could there possibly be?


    "When I was breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, the Grand Elder of the Duanmu Family talked with the Sacred Emperor and engaged Zhao Yufei to the Thirteenth Prince," Duanmu Qing said in an angry tone.


    This was all because the Grand Elder cared too much about the family and placed importance on the short-term benefits. The Thirteenth Prince''s mother was the Empress, and the Emperor agreed.


    This news had already spread among the imperials.


    "Engaged? Yufei?"


    Zhao Feng forgot how to think.


    He had a very weird feeling. It was like a mixture of freedom and disappointment.


    Zhao Feng mostly knew whether he liked Zhao Yufei or not, but he had always been hiding from it. He wanted to follow his heart and find Liu Qinxin, and because of that promise, he had always been avoiding Zhao Yufei.


    He also didn''t want to love another woman because this would make him feel as if he was betraying Liu Qinxin. However, he might have already liked another woman, and this would make him feel that he hurt Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Feng''s God Eye couldn''t analyze the situation. His left eye was at a loss.


    Duanmu Qing shook his head and sighed. He knew that Zhao Yufei liked Zhao Feng, and if it wasn''t for Zhao Feng''s "fianc¨¦e," it was very likely that they would be together already.


    Duanmu Qing didn''t know what to do either. From his point of view, one of the main reasons Zhao Yufei wasn''t together with Zhao Feng was because she followed him back to his family.


    This was fate ¨C full of uncertainty.


    "Master, the Thirteenth Prince is extremely arrogant and childish. He doesn''t suit Zhao Yufei," Zhao Feng suddenly raised his head and said. "Yufei has been my friend since we were young. How can I let her marry that kind of person?"


    Zhao Feng''s voice was unusually calm and gave others the feeling that he was very clear-headed and awake right now as he discussed this issue in a very rational manner.


    Duanmu Qing paused, and his mouth felt slightly open. He had thought about what kind of reply Zhao Feng might give, but he didn''t expect it to be something like that. Duanmu Qing couldn''t help but think that only Zhao Feng would come up with such an answer.


    "Hahaha, I think so as well. How is the Thirteenth Prince worthy of Zhao Yufei?" Duanmu Qing laughed and patted Zhao Feng''s shoulder. He knew that this disciple of his had an extremely low EQ.


    "If you really care about Yufei, then come with me to the Duanmu Family," Duanmu Qing said.


    Since this issue concerned the face of both the Duanmu Family and the imperials, it wasn''t something that could be decided on a whim.


    "Wait for me to make some preparations."


    Zhao Feng flew away. No one else was within a hundred miles of Zhao Feng''s cultivation chamber apart from Duanmu Qing since it was a forbidden area. However, after leaving that place, Zhao Feng realized that there were many people all around.


    The Ocean Smoke Pavilion had changed a lot, and it had a lot more experts.


    "Was there a member of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion that had golden hair? I''ve never seen him before."


    "Even his eye is gold. Is he not a human?"


    "But he''s so handsome!" A female member had dazed eyes.


    At this moment, Bi Qingyue flew over under a layer of moonlight. She could sense that Zhao Feng had exited seclusion through her Dark Heart Seal.


    "It''s the Pavilion Master!"


    "Greetings Pavilion Master!"


    All the members nearby bowed, and Bi Qingyue was surprised when she arrived in front of Zhao Feng. If the purple-haired Zhao Feng gave her a wicked yet beautiful feeling, the current Zhao Feng gave her a warm and mature sensation. The difference in the before and after was just too big.


    "Greetings, Grand Elder!"


    The nearby members were all slightly dazed. Most of them hadn''t seen the Grand Elder before, and a small number of disciples had only seen him once.


    However, no one didn''t know about the Grand Elder. He had saved the Ocean Smoke Pavilion from the claws of Nine Darkness Palace and supplied countless resources for the Ocean Smoke Pavilion to make it stronger than ever. The Grand Elder''s master was a Sacred Lord from one of the Eight Big Families, and apparently, this Grand Elder was only a youth in his teens.


    "Let''s go to the discussion hall," Zhao Feng faintly said as he continued forward with Bi Qingyue behind him.

 913 Disintegration

    Chapter 913 - Disintegration


    In the discussion hall, Bi Qingyue, Emperor Withered Shadow, and Old Monster Xu all inspected Zhao Feng.


    "Cough. I will be leaving the Ocean Smoke Pavilion for a long while." Zhao Feng gave a light cough. He couldn''t stop his eye and hair color changing after the God Eye evolved.


    "Master, you''re going to the inner regions of the continent?"


    The three experts with a Dark Heart Seal inside them all spoke at the same time. They could all guess that their master''s master came all the way here for something pretty important.


    "That''s right," Zhao Feng replied.


    "The Ocean Smoke Pavilion has Old Monster Xu holding down the fort, and Supreme Emperor Dark Night will become a Sacred Lord soon as well. The Ocean Smoke Pavilion isn''t scared of any force in the coastal region."


    In reality, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was also protected by Duke Nanfeng, and since Duanmu Qing was from one of the Eight Big Families, that would scare people off. Besides, Nine Darkness Palace was focused on Zhao Feng, so it wouldn''t take action against the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    "Master can leave with no worries. We''ll take care of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion." Bi Qingyue was extremely confident.


    Seeing that Old Monster Xu wanted to say something, Zhao Feng spoke directly to him, "Old Monster Xu, when a hundred years are up, I will remove my control over you. At that point, you can decide whether you want to stay or leave."


    "Thank you, Master."


    Old Monster Xu had complicated emotions. He wanted freedom from Zhao Feng''s control, but at this point in time, it was better to follow Zhao Feng than stay in the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    Duanmu Qing had been waiting in the clouds for a while.


    "Master, please go slowly." Zhao Feng flew over.


    Although Zhao Feng wasn''t slower than Sacred Lords that didn''t specialize in speed, that was only when he was using his Lightning Wings Spatial Flash. Zhao Feng''s normal flying speed and endurance were nowhere close to a Sacred Lord''s, and the Duanmu Family was very far away.


    Even if they used teleportation arrays for most of the journey, it would take them half a year. If he tried using the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, he would probably spend more time resting than flying.


    "Master, use this." Zhao Feng waved his left hand, and a unique flying chariot appeared.


    Duanmu Qing revealed a surprised expression. It wasn''t hard for him to tell that this chariot was from the Heaven''s Legacy Race. At the same time, he suddenly remembered that Zhao Feng was only at the late stages of the Void God Realm and obviously couldn''t catch up to a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord.


    However, putting aside flying items that could reach the speed of a Sacred Lord, any flying item was extremely rare.


    Duanmu Qing and Zhao Feng boarded the chariot.


    Whoosh!


    The flaming chariot shot through the sky and left behind a blaze of light.


    "This is a good treasure. Its speed is close to the speed of an Emperor." Duanmu Qing praised as they headed toward the continent zone.


    The first stop was the Haili Province, which was the closest to them.


    The Great Gan Lord Dynasty had eighteen provinces, which were ruled by the Eight Big Families or imperial officials. Each province had many cities, and each of these cities were comparable to one of the three spiritual zones of the Cang Ocean. In other words, they were extremely big.


    Miao!


    Zhao Feng called out the unwilling little thieving cat. It knew that Zhao Feng wanted it to take control of the chariot and drive it for them.


    Zhao Feng had suddenly remembered that the little thieving cat had an unknown history. In the Heaven''s Legacy City, the little thieving cat''s information was a secret ¨C they didn''t have the right to know it.


    Zhao Feng instinctively touched the golden ball in his left eye and used its new ability.


    Weng~


    A faint golden disturbance came from Zhao Feng''s left eye and merged into the air.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat immediately disappeared then reappeared above Zhao Feng''s head and started to yell.


    Zhao Feng was speechless; the little thieving cat didn''t want Zhao Feng to use his golden eye to look at it.


    "Looks like the little thieving cat is extremely scared of my left eye''s ability."


    Zhao Feng was surprised and happy. This was the first time he had found something that could actually counter the little thieving cat, which made him place even greater importance on this golden ball. He needed to look deeper into it.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat gave Zhao Feng an aggrieved glance as it took control of the flaming chariot.


    Duanmu Qing smiled as he watched the interaction between Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    I need to test out the ability of my left eye.


    Zhao Feng entered the Misty Spatial World, looked at a flower, then touched the golden ball within the dimension of his left eye.


    Weng~~


    A faint golden disturbance radiated from his left eye, and the flower instantly turned into countless beams of golden light.


    Magnify¡­ magnify!


    Zhao Feng could see each atom extremely clearly. Each atom was like a complex building.


    The Little World within the Misty Spatial World had its own laws, which were all man-made, but under the gaze of Zhao Feng''s left eye, he could see that the number of particles within the flower were relatively fewer than a real flower and that the elements of these particles were utilized extremely poorly.


    "Indeed. Sacred Lords and even Demigods aren''t able to completely replicate items of the real world." Zhao Feng instantly understood. The items within the Little World were still different from the items in reality. It was like the difference between fresh flowers and decorative flowers made from plastic.


    "If I form my own Little World, would I be able to construct a more realistic Little World or even a true dimension with my left eye?"


    Zhao Feng felt his blood boil, and his left eye started to thump.


    Even Zhao Feng felt like this idea was too crazy. Creating a real dimension was something from the domain of Gods. At the moment, he hadn''t even formed the outline of a Little World yet.


    Putting aside these unrealistic thoughts, Zhao Feng once again entered the world of particles.


    "It seems to have some similar ideas as the Divine Light of Destruction."


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered the unique eye-bloodline technique of the Golden Sun Family from the Azure Flower Continent ¨C the Divine Light of Destruction. The theory behind the Divine Light of Destruction was to disperse all attacks, including other eye-bloodline techniques.


    The Divine Light of Destruction that Zhao Feng copied back then contained his comprehension of Wind, and the theory behind it mainly involved cutting and splitting everything apart.


    "From the looks of it, the Divine Light of Destruction splits the atoms apart in order to decrease the power of an attack." Zhao Feng immediately analyzed with his golden left eye.


    Any attack that lost a part of its True Yuan would become a lot weaker.


    "If I merge the new ability of my left eye into the Divine Light of Destruction, would I be able to disintegrate the atoms or even the subatomic particles of True Yuan attacks?"


    By disintegrating the atoms, the entire structure would be changed.


    Zhao Feng thought about it with excitement. Everything ¨C including the soul ¨C was made up of particles, and now that his left eye could see straight into the core of things, he could easily break through the link between these particles. If he succeeded in doing this, then this eye-bloodline technique would be far stronger than the original Divine Light of Destruction. Furthermore, only Zhao Feng would be able to use this skill.


    After coming up with this idea, Zhao Feng started to properly think about and construct it.


    He felt lucky that he had learned the Divine Light of Destruction back then. Even now, the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye contained information from back in those days.


    On a certain day, Zhao Feng''s golden eye released a beam of faint golden light that shone onto a rock ahead.


    Crack!


    The rock instantly shattered and turned into a pile of smaller rocks.


    "The disintegration aspect easily surpasses the Divine Light of Destruction, but the strength of it isn''t high enough."


    Zhao Feng shook his head with a sigh. He wanted to at least disperse the rock''s atoms, otherwise, how would he be able to disintegrate an attack made of True Yuan?


    A month later, Zhao Feng arrived in front of a bigger rock and took a deep breath. He circulated the power of his left eye, and a brighter golden beam shot into the rock.


    Hu~~


    The part of the rock that the light shone onto instantly disappeared and became empty, as if the rock was originally like that. There were no signs of the hole being man-made. Perhaps some people who had stronger senses would be able to feel the countless small elemental atoms in the air.


    "I''ve formed the basics of it. Now, I just need to practice and improve it."


    A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    During his practice, Zhao Feng had disintegrated over a thousand rocks in the Misty Spatial World. Zhao Feng could already map out how the particles formed these rocks without even using his left eye, but the construction of everything in the world, including True Yuan and the soul, was different. This meant that the efficiency and success rate of disintegrating an unknown object would be lower.


    "Zhao Feng." Duanmu Qing woke Zhao Feng up. "We''ve come to another city teleportation array."


    Zhao Feng came out of the Misty Spatial World.


    The Great Gan Lord Dynasty was extremely big and didn''t have any province-level teleportation arrays yet, but apparently the imperial array masters were trying to figure out how to make one.


    Only a couple of the most popular cities in every province had teleportation arrays. Teleportation arrays weren''t something that any random person could use either.


    Zhao Feng looked into the distance.


    "Something''s wrong," Zhao Feng said as he put away the flaming chariot and headed toward the palace with Duanmu Qing.


    "The teleportation array is encountering problems and is being fixed. No one is to enter."


    Two half-step King generals in golden robes looked at the incoming males, who had white and golden hair respectively, and stopped them.


    The master and disciple duo looked at one another and made the decision to rest here for a bit.


    "Please take your time." An elder flew out of the hall. "Sacred Lord Duanmu, the teleportation array will be able to be used soon. Come in and have a seat."


    The elder looked at Duanmu Qing with a respectful smile. More than half a year ago, Duanmu Qing had used the teleportation array here, and the elder had recorded this down.


    The two generals in golden robes were stunned, and cold sweat started to drip from their foreheads. How could they have known that this white-haired male was a Sacred Lord from one of the Eight Big Families?


    "En."


    Since it was going to be repaired soon, they just needed to wait for a little bit.


    There were two other groups waiting in the hall as well. One of them had six people consisting of three elders, two young males, and one young girl. All of them had purple hair.


    "A Sacred Lord from the Duanmu Family?" One of the elders with purple-white hair and eyes as deep as stars looked at Duanmu Qing, while the pretty girl with purple hair stared at Zhao Feng.


    "You''re¡­ Zhao Feng!?"


    Wariness flashed through the purple-haired girl''s eyes as she exclaimed.

 914 Actual Comba

    Chapter 914 - Actual Combat


    "You''re¡­ Zhao Feng!?"


    Wariness flashed through the purple-haired girl''s eyes as she exclaimed.


    Everyone within the hall instantly looked toward Zhao Feng with curiosity. Zhao Feng was one of the biggest winners of the Divine Illusion Dimension as well as the leader of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo. There were many secrets and mysteries that surrounded this youth, and many of the older generation felt like they were exaggerated.


    Everyone knew that Zhao Feng had purple hair, but this was a youth with golden hair and a golden eye.


    "Ji Lan, is he really Zhao Feng?" A short-haired male next to Ji Lan asked.


    Ji Lan had told the elders of the Ji Family about Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline, and because of this, everyone from the Ji Family ¨C including those of the older generation ¨C wanted to witness Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline.


    At this time, the Ji Family stood at the peak of eye-bloodlines in the continent zone if one excluded the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    "He''s definitely Zhao Feng."


    Ji Lan was certain. Back in the Divine Illusion Dimension, Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye had given her quite a counterattack, and she had seen how strong Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline was. Zhao Feng''s image was imprinted into her heart; she definitely wouldn''t mistake him even if his hair and eye were a different color.


    It was thanks to Zhao Feng defeating her at her own forte that Ji Lan decided to focus on the secret techniques of the Ji Family, and her Purple Star eye-bloodline became even purer.


    "Don''t think that you''ll be able to escape your wicked reputation just by dying your hair," Ji Lan murmured, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.


    The other force within the hall was the City Lord''s, but they weren''t even close to the rank of the Eight Big Families, so they didn''t even dare to breathe out loud.


    "Duanmu Qing greets Sacred Lord Star Demon from the Ji Family." Duanmu Qing gave a faint smile as he bowed. He had heard of Zhao Feng''s actions in the Divine Illusion Dimension and guessed that Zhao Feng had most likely taken some treasures from the Ji Family.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon was an extremely old Grand Elder of the Ji Family, and his eye-bloodline had reached an incredible level.


    "I heard that someone from the Duanmu Family became a Sacred Lord not long ago. That person should be you, right?"


    The voice of the purple-and-white-haired elder resounded through the air, and the forces of the City Lord and the elder guarding the teleportation array felt this voice enter their souls and create illusions.


    Even Zhao Feng was extremely wary as he looked at Sacred Lord Star Demon. The latter''s soul and mastery of eye-bloodline techniques were definitely not simple.


    Weng~~


    When looking at Sacred Lord Star Demon''s faint purple eyes, Zhao Feng felt as if he was in space surrounded by purple flaming stars everywhere.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye glittered with gold, and he calmed down.


    He''s very strong. He didn''t even use his eye-bloodline and yet made me fall into an illusion with just a glance.


    Zhao Feng was stunned. This elder had the strongest eye-bloodline power that he had encountered so far in his life, and the elder''s cultivation had probably surpassed normal Sacred Lords.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon''s expression changed slightly as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    Duanmu Qing explained in a humble tone: "I''m just lucky that disciples of the Duanmu Family managed to find something for me in the Divine Illusion Dimension to help me break through."


    Although they were both at the early stages of Mystic Light Realm, Sacred Lord Star Demon had lived for at least forty thousand years, and his strength couldn''t be measured just by his cultivation.


    "This is my disciple."


    Duanmu Qing gave Zhao Feng the identity of a disciple from one of the Eight Big Families, but he didn''t confirm that he was Zhao Feng.


    The group from the Ji Family paused and became suspicious of the golden-haired youth''s identity. The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo apparently both came from the Cang Ocean, so they shouldn''t be related to the Duanmu Family.


    However, Ji Lan gave an understanding look. She remembered that the only force that the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo didn''t steal from was the Duanmu Family, and many people had their speculations about it at the time. Furthermore, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei had an unknown relationship.


    "These are my three disciples." Sacred Lord Star Demon revealed a faint smile and made his intention clear.


    "Sacred Lord Duanmu, your disciple''s eye-bloodline is definitely not simple. This junior is very curious and would like to spar with him."


    The short-haired male from the Ji Family stood forward as purple starlight flashed through his eyes.


    "Master, let this disciple go test him." Zhao Feng stood out before Duanmu Qing could reply.


    Before this, Zhao Feng had been in the Misty Spatial World discovering the abilities of the golden eye, disintegrating countless rocks and plants. He wanted to test it in actual combat.


    Seeing Zhao Feng agree, the other two Elders of the Ji Family laughed coldly in their hearts. Ji Wuye''s Purple Star Eyes were unparalleled against those of the younger generation in the Ji Family. No one could beat Ji Wuye in terms of eye-bloodline techniques.


    "Hehe, Big Brother Wuye has mutated Purple Star Eyes," a younger cultivator next to Ji Lan laughed and said. In his heart, Ji Wuye was his role model.


    The Purple Star Eyes specialized in Soul and illusion attacks, and Ji Wuye''s mutated Purple Star Eyes could even incorporate physical attacks. It could easily catch one off guard.


    Ji Lan stared at Zhao Feng the entire time. This mysterious youth had a calm expression from the beginning. No one could tell what he was thinking; he was covered in mist. She couldn''t see through his cultivation either, but she believed that Ji Wuye wouldn''t be the one at an advantage against Zhao Feng.


    "This one is called Ji Wuye," the short-haired male said with pride.


    "Please give me advice," Zhao Feng replied as his faint golden hair moved. His left eye gave off a sacred golden light.


    Ji Wuye''s expression became grim. The reason he gave his name was so that the opponent would call out his name as well. Ji Wuye believed that Zhao Feng not telling his name meant that he was ignoring and looking down on Ji Wuye.


    "Fine!" Ji Wuye''s eyes sparkled with purple starry light as Soul-like aura spread.


    Falling Stars!


    A surge of eye-bloodline power shot out from Ji Wuye''s eyes as blue-and-purple flames burned the sky.


    Boom! Boom!


    Countless blue-and-purple flames filled the soul-dimension and crushed over. The momentum could make one''s mind crumble, making it impossible to fight back. At the same time, a burning blue-and-purple chain wrapped around Zhao Feng''s soul, and the barrage of blue-and-purple flames seemed like they were about to shatter his soul.


    "Disintegrate!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same as his faint golden hair blew, and a strong surge of Eye Intent shot out from his left eye.


    "What a strong Eye Intent!" Ji Wuye''s expression changed slightly as he took back his underestimation. This surge of Eye Intent wasn''t any weaker than his own.


    Apart from Sacred Lord Star Demon, all the Ji Family members'' eye-bloodlines shook.


    "He''s already grown to such a level?" Ji Lan''s expression changed in disbelief.


    Weng~~


    A beam of faint golden light shot out from his left eye straight into the blue-and-purple flames.


    "Hmm? A physical attack?" Ji Wuye was slightly dazed.


    Everyone knew that physical attacks and soul attacks were unable to affect each other, and this guy used a physical attack to block a soul attack? Was this golden-haired youth retarded?


    Ji Wuye couldn''t help but snicker. It seemed like this person couldn''t be Zhao Feng.


    However, everyone felt that something was amiss. Zhao Feng displayed a surge of eye-bloodline power, but it just passed through Ji Wuye''s attack.


    "Wait, what''s that!?" The eyes of the younger cultivator from the Ji Family bulged as he cried out.


    When the faint golden light passed through the flames, they started to slowly disappear. There was no clash between powers at all; Ji Wuye''s soul attack and even his physical attack just disappeared.


    Everyone held their breaths as they looked at this weird scene.


    "How is this possible? Even my Soul Intent and Eye Intent have completely disappeared?" Fear and panic flashed through Ji Wuye''s eyes. He couldn''t believe that there was such a weird eye-bloodline technique.


    Duanmu Qing didn''t specialize in the soul, so he looked at this scene in confused amazement.


    Layers of purple light glittered in Sacred Lord Star Demon dim eyes as he looked toward the place where the two attacks came into contact.


    Sii!


    A pain suddenly appeared in Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Ji Wuye''s soul attack also contained a physical aspect, which was extremely hard to disperse. It required a lot of eye-bloodline power, and this was only the first time Zhao Feng was using it in actual combat.


    As expected, it was extremely different from dispersing a soul attack. There was several thousand times more atoms within this attack than the flowers of the Misty Spatial World.


    A surge of information instantly stored itself within the golden ball in the dimension of his left eye. The pain became worse, and Zhao Feng had to stop his disintegration as he closed his left eye.


    "That golden-haired youth has stopped using his eye-bloodline technique."


    Only a portion of Ji Wuye''s attack had disappeared; the remaining blue-and-purple flames were still hurtling toward Zhao Feng, but he suddenly closed his eyes and was just standing there.


    "What is he trying to do?" Ji Lan felt extremely complicated. This youth always made one unable to see what he was thinking.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The blue-and-purple flames instantly hit Zhao Feng''s soul.


    Shu~ Shu~ Shu~


    A wave of lightning suddenly glittered around Zhao Feng''s purple soul. The entire soul attack and soul chain were destroyed by the God Tribulation Lightning.


    Hu~~


    Everything within the hall returned to normal, and Zhao Feng and Ji Wuye were both motionless.


    Zhao Feng suddenly opened his golden left eye and looked at Ji Wuye.


    Sii!


    Ji Wuye''s body trembled, and he felt like his entire body and soul were under Zhao Feng''s control. It was as if there was an eye in Ji Wuye''s body looking at everything he had.


    "I know that I''m not your match." Ji Wuye bowed and immediately retreated.


    Although he didn''t know why his soul attack had just disappeared into thin air, the lightning that seeped out of Zhao Feng''s soul instantly made him understand that he wasn''t this youth''s match.


    The Soul and eye-bloodline techniques of this golden-haired youth were incredible, and Ji Lan gave a helpless smile. Even now, she couldn''t understand the techniques that Zhao Feng was using.


    "Sacred Lord Duanmu, you have a good disciple." The light in Sacred Lord Star Demon''s eyes faded as he gave a faint smile.


    "Is Little Friend willing to visit the Ji Family some time? The Ji Family has one of the top archives in regard to eye-bloodline secret techniques in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty."


    Sacred Lord Star Demon didn''t hide his intention to recruit Zhao Feng.


    Among the Eight Big Families, the strength of the Ji Family surpassed the Duanmu Family. The elder guarding the teleportation array and the other forces of the City Lord looked enviously toward Zhao Feng.


    "Thank you, Sacred Lord Star Demon. This junior will go there when I have the time." Zhao Feng''s expression returned to normal as he gave a smile.


    "Is Sacred Lord Star Demon going to see the Great Gan Imperials?" Duanmu Qing asked.

 915 Interception

    Chapter 915 - Interception


    Sacred Lords didn''t usually appear in the outside world, and this was the Grand Elder of one of the Eight Big Families. Furthermore, there were three young, talented disciples of the Ji Family next to Sacred Lord Star Demon.


    "I''m just taking these juniors to the Imperial Palace so that they can increase their knowledge. May I know why Sacred Lord Duanmu is here?" Sacred Lord Star Demon''s expression was the same as usual as he gave a general reply


    The Duanmu Family was based in the northeastern region and was only one province away from the Imperial Capital, but Duanmu Qing had appeared at the borders of the western region. He probably had an important issue for him to come here.


    "I had some important matters I needed to attend to, so I had to leave the family." Duanmu Qing also gave a general reply, but it didn''t make anyone unhappy.


    However, everyone from the Ji family instinctively looked at the golden-haired and golden-eyed youth.


    Zhao Feng was the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor of the Cang Ocean, and he had re-cultivated after taking over the body of a disciple from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. This place they were in right now wasn''t too far away from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan.


    In addition, Ji Lan was certain about this golden-haired youth''s mysterious eye-bloodline techniques, and everyone else was sure that a genius with an eye-bloodline like his had never appeared in the Duanmu Family.


    The identity of this youth was extremely similar to Zhao Feng, and Duanmu Qing had come all the way here to take Zhao Feng back to the Duanmu Family. There was only one reason ¨C the battle to become Crown Prince.


    Even the top eye-bloodline family in the continent wasn''t able to see through Zhao Feng''s mysterious eye-bloodline techniques in the Divine Illusion Dimension or here. He could definitely help the Duanmu Family get one more spot.


    "Sacred Lord Duanmu, the teleportation array has been fixed. I''ll be going first."


    The group from the Ji Family said goodbye to Duanmu Qing.


    In reality, the city teleportation array had been fixed a while ago, but no one dared to interrupt a conversation between two Sacred Lords.


    "Grand Elder, what was with Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique just now?" Ji Wuye couldn''t help but ask after they left. At the same time, the other two Elders and juniors paid attention. From their point of view, only Sacred Lord Star Demon could tell them the answer.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon had reached an incredible mastery of the Purple Star Eyes and was still creating more eye-bloodline techniques that were suitable for the Purple Star Eyes. He had contributed many new and powerful eye-bloodline techniques for the Ji Family. Therefore, while Sacred Lord Star Demon''s cultivation wasn''t very high, his eye-bloodline techniques were terrifying.


    "Disintegration." Sacred Lord Star Demon only said one word.


    "Disintegration?" The other five people were puzzled. Zhao Feng lightly said this word as well when he used his technique.


    "Grand Elder, I know an eye-bloodline technique as well that can decrease the power of another eye-bloodline technique, but it''s completely different from Zhao Feng''s."


    Ji Wuye didn''t quite know what the word meant, but he had seen similar eye-bloodline techniques.


    "The eye-bloodline technique of that junior is similar to dispersion eye-bloodline techniques." Sacred Lord Star Demon thought for a while before slowly responding, "Dispersion eye-bloodline techniques find the critical point of an attack and destroy it in order to decrease its power. You can think of that junior''s technique as dispersing all the critical points of the attack."


    Those from the Ji Family were stunned by what the Grand Elder said. They knew that dispersion-type eye-bloodline techniques required an enormous amount of energy, and the damage was very low. Only certain eye-bloodlines could use such a skill, let alone put it to great use.


    Grand Elder said that Zhao Feng had dispersed all the critical points.


    Destruction and dispersion were completely different. It was like destroying a wall. Destroying it was extremely easy, but if one wanted to break through the wall while still keeping the bricks intact, it would be extremely troublesome.


    How much soul power and eye-bloodline power were needed for one to reach that level? No wonder Zhao Feng stopped halfway through.


    "Those are just my conservative thoughts." Sacred Lord Star Demon seemed to think and spoke slowly.


    Everyone instantly went silent. They were all masters of eye-bloodline techniques and knew that Grand Elder was speaking the truth.


    After watching those from the Ji Family leave, Zhao Feng and Duanmu Qing also entered the teleportation array. The other remaining people let out a breath only after the two Sacred Lords left.


    "Who is that golden-haired youth? He managed to defeat that genius of the Ji Family with just one move, and it was an eye-bloodline technique too!" A youth from the City Lord''s force was stunned.


    After being teleported to a neighboring city, the master and disciple duo sat on the flaming chariot once more and shot into the sky.


    "Zhao Feng, was that the new ability you gained with the evolution of your God Eye?" Duanmu Qing revealed a surprised look. Even he didn''t know the theory behind Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique.


    "The left eye only increased my sight and dispersion ability. The eye-bloodline technique I just used was created by combining that with another eye-bloodline technique I know." Zhao Feng explained. He told Duanmu Qing the new ability of his God''s Eye and how it was formed.


    "Looks like I was wrong." Duanmu Qing tried to see it from another angle. Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique wasn''t as terrifying as he originally thought.


    Zhao Feng could only make part of a soul attack disappear, and it required a lot of energy, which is why he had to stop halfway through. It also didn''t seem to contain any offensive abilities.


    However, because no one knew the principles behind it, they found it mysterious and powerful. After all, humans were scared of the unknown.


    The two talked for a bit more before Zhao Feng entered the Misty Spatial World.


    The sparring just now made Zhao Feng understand a lot of things. Disintegrating Ji Wuye''s soul attack was completely different from disintegrating rocks and flowers. The latter''s soul attack also contained physical damage.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye received a large amount of unknown information, which made his eye hurt and caused him to stop. After Zhao Feng digested this information, he would be able to disintegrate Ji Wuye''s attack next time much more easily.


    Zhao Feng had suppressed his Soul Intent to Ji Wuye''s level in order to test his technique. Sacred Lord Star Demon had definitely seen this, but he was only interested in Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline.


    Zhao Feng didn''t mind showing it off. One could tell that the new ability was not normal since even the little thieving cat was scared of it.


    "Every time I disintegrate something, I receive information about its structure, and this information is stored within the golden ball. I can check it any time I want and don''t need to use my left eye to replicate it like in the past." Zhao Feng was very satisfied by this.


    "Atoms and particles have some similarities¡­ particles contain elements."


    The more Zhao Feng disintegrated things, the more he understood. Zhao Feng guessed that, if he could fully understand this information, dispersing and disintegrating anything in the future would be a lot easier.


    "Particles aren''t just made up of the elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. There are different amounts of different elements, and the structures they form are different as well."


    Zhao Feng was completely immersed in this world, and he delved deeply into this topic. More than a dozen days passed, and Zhao Feng now knew the structure of particles.


    "The physical body, the soul, and Mystic Light Sacred power form the body of a Sacred Lord. Their defense and recovery ability are extremely strong, but if I could split those three powers apart¡­"


    Zhao Feng started to think. If he could split the physical body, soul, and Mystic Light Sacred power of a Sacred Lord apart, then their advantages would drop dramatically.


    Of course, this was just Zhao Feng''s hypothesis. He couldn''t confirm it without practice, and he didn''t have the ability to disperse in a wide area yet. The bigger the range, the more pressure and energy required.


    However, one thing was for sure ¨C Zhao Feng''s dispersion ability could ignore the defense of Sacred Lords and split apart their Sacred bodies. If these Sacred Lords didn''t know anything about atoms, they wouldn''t be able to heal themselves; they would have to rely on the basic recovery speed of their Sacred bodies. This would mean another card for Zhao Feng that he could use to threaten Sacred Lords.


    "The deeper I go, the more I feel like the golden eye is unusual. It seems like I can continue to dig even deeper."


    Zhao Feng was like a starving person who discovered a buffet as he delved into the world of particles.


    Right now, understanding everything was the most important. Half a year passed in a flash, and Zhao Feng focused on this one topic alone.


    Circulating the golden eye required too much Soul Intent and eye-bloodline power, so Zhao Feng could focus only on it; because of this, he didn''t use the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to multitask. Besides, Zhao Feng''s cultivation, Golden Kun Sacred Body, and Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had broken through not long ago and needed time to consolidate.


    "Zhao Feng, we''re almost at the Duanmu Family," Duanmu Qing''s voice sounded, and Zhao Feng came out of the Misty Spatial World. He looked forward and saw countless beautiful elegant buildings and streams ahead. It was like a garden of the gods. The Duanmu Family was surrounded by mountains, and the only exit was a stream that was dozens of yards wide.


    "Elder Qing, who is this brat?" Five Elders from the Duanmu Family appeared at the entrance to the Duanmu Family. They had been waiting here for a long time.


    "This is my disciple," Duanmu Qing replied as he radiated the aura of a Sacred Lord. The terrifying aura caused the air nearby to become heavy. Duanmu Qing looked down from above, as if he was a king.


    The five Elders were all just Emperors but acted as if they were interrogating Duanmu Qing. This obviously meant that the Grand Elder was behind their backs.


    "Elder Qing, please calm down. We''re not here to trouble you." An elder in green robes was slightly weaker and immediately gave a wronged expression under Duanmu Qing''s Sacred Lord aura.


    "Elder Qing, Zhao Feng is one of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo and is rather infamous. He''s not suitable to join the Duanmu Family."


    "Zhao Feng offended too many forces in the Divine Illusion Dimension. The Duanmu Family has just started to recover our name, so we can''t tarnish it."


    Several Elders spoke and made Duanmu Qing''s expression change slightly. After all, Duanmu Qing was from the Duanmu Family and wanted the Duanmu Family to rise once more. He knew what kind of person his disciple was, but stealing from others in the Divine Illusion Dimension was understandable. Did the three-star super forces not do the same thing to the two-star powers? The strong ruled while the weak were eliminated.


    However, these "experts" had fallen at the hands of someone they thought was weak and felt as if they had lost face, so they tried to get their face back by trash-talking that person.


    "Elders, that isn''t the true reason, right?" Duanmu Qing calmed down and said.


    The Elders all stopped and lowered their heads. It indeed wasn''t the true reason.


    A beam of green light suddenly shot out from the Duanmu Family and lit up the place nearby toward Duanmu Qing.


    "This is the true reason," a bright but old voice swept over.

 916 Pressure

    Chapter 916 - Pressure


    A beam of green light suddenly shot out from the Duanmu Family and lit up the place nearby toward Duanmu Qing.


    "This is the true reason," a bright but old voice swept over, and Duanmu Qing''s expression became grim. He didn''t expect the Grand Elder to come out directly.


    Zhao Feng felt that something was wrong. He was Duanmu Qing''s disciple but didn''t even have the right to enter the Duanmu Family?


    An elder with a square face clothed in white instantly appeared in front of Duanmu Qing.


    The auras of the two Sacred Lords caused the wind to howl and the clouds to move. Space itself twisted as the two clashed. The five Emperors immediately retreated.


    The square-faced elder had cold eyes and paused slightly when he saw the golden-haired Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng''s golden hair and golden eyes made him feel that something was amiss. Normal eye-bloodlines would only change shape or color when something happened to it. Why was his hair gold too? Furthermore, Zhao Feng didn''t even move when the auras of two Sacred Lords clashed. It was incredible that he was able to block the force of Sacred Lords so easily while he was only a King.


    "Duanmu Qing, do you not know what Zhao Feng did in the Divine Illusion Dimension? How can someone with such a personality join the Duanmu Family?" The square-faced elder gazed coldly at Zhao Feng before continuing. "Furthermore, this junior''s friend is extremely evil. He slaughtered the elites of Nine Darkness Palace in the Divine Illusion Dimension after inheriting the power of an Evil God and is still being chased by Nine Darkness Palace right now."


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly. Nan Gongsheng was in the continent zone and in more danger than himself?


    Thinking about it, it was most likely because, if one tried to return to the Cang Ocean from the Divine Illusion Dimension, it would take a lot longer than going to the continent zone. In order to escape from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Nan Gongsheng had to enter the continent zone.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng was thinking about what kind of level Nan Gongsheng had reached. One could tell that he had become much stronger from the fact that people were chasing him for two years but was still alive. He didn''t know how much Nan Gongsheng''s personality had changed though.


    "Nan Gongsheng¡­" Duanmu Qing''s heart was heavy. Nan Gongsheng was the Head disciple of the Mystic True Sacred Clan and a once-in-a-thousand-years genius.


    Because he had inherited the power of an Evil God, Nine Darkness Palace and other demonic forces were all chasing after him. Nan Gongsheng''s personality had also been affected by the power of the Evil God ¨C he became cruel and bloodthirsty. Many forces that were pursuing Nan Gongsheng were killed by him instead.


    Duanmu Qing was unable to save Nan Gongsheng, and the Duanmu Family was unable to protect the inheritance of the Evil God.


    "Furthermore, Zhao Feng specializes in illusions and eye-bloodline techniques. He cast an illusion on Zhao Yufei and now he even dares to come to the Duanmu Family," the square-faced elder continued as his tone became cold, and killing intent flashed through his eyes.


    "Grand Elder, it wasn''t like that!" Duanmu Qing immediately retorted. Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng knew each other even before the Mystic True Sacred Clan, so it definitely wasn''t like what the Grand Elder said.


    "If it wasn''t for the fact that you are his master, I would have slain this junior by now," the square-faced elder stopped Duanmu Qing and looked at Zhao Feng with angry eyes, as if he was about to explode.


    "Duanmu Qing, you are from the Duanmu Family, but you''re acting against it. You''re against Zhao Yufei marrying into the imperial family and you''re spoiling your disciple. You need to know that Zhao Yufei is your Junior Martial Sister." The square-faced elder didn''t give Duanmu Qing any chance to speak.


    Duanmu Qing was someone who thought well of his family and wanted to make it great again. The square-faced elder''s logic made Duanmu Qing unable to retort.


    "Duanmu Qing, tell your disciple to leave and never trouble Zhao Yufei again," the square-faced elder continued and acted as if he was taking a step back.


    Zhao Feng heard everything that the Grand Elder of the Duanmu Family said. This Sacred Lord sacrificed members of his family in order to make it great and pretended to be righteous when doing so. Zhao Feng felt lucky that he didn''t choose to come to the Duanmu Family with his Master back then; a family like this wasn''t worth his effort.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Right as the square-faced elder and Duanmu Qing were in a stalemate, three more figures flew out of the Duanmu Family, but from the clothes they wore, they were definitely not from the Duanmu Family.


    "Grand Elder, sorry for disturbing you, but this issue is also related to us," the leading middle-aged male in black-and-golden robes explained.


    There were two elders behind him who were both Peak-tier Kings. The three had their eyes trained on Zhao Feng, and it was obvious that there was enmity between them.


    "You''re Zhao Feng? We''re from the Grand Duke''s Palace of the Fengcai Province," the black-and-golden-robed male questioned.


    The Fengcai Province was the province next to the Duanmu Family, and the Grand Duke''s Palace was the ruler of the province.


    Duanmu Qing''s expression changed slightly. He didn''t expect that someone close to the imperials was here. The ruler of the Fengcai Province was the older brother of the Sacred Emperor and the Thirteenth Prince''s uncle. The two behind him should be from the Thirteenth Prince''s faction.


    "I am Zhao Feng." Zhao Feng''s expression was the same as usual as he looked at them.


    "That''s good. Now we don''t have to go find you." The middle-aged male spoke in a proud tone and had a disdainful expression as he continued, "You used an eye-bloodline technique to trick Zhao Yufei in the Divine Illusion Dimension. Thirteenth Prince won''t count this against you, but since they are now engaged, you will be held accountable if you trouble Zhao Yufei in the future."


    The tone of the black-and-golden-robed male became colder and said the last couple words with a pause between them.


    "Did Zhao Yufei agree to the marriage?" Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same as he asked.


    The expression of the three males changed, and killing intent flashed through their eyes as they looked at Zhao Feng. If Zhao Yufei had agreed, then they wouldn''t have needed to come here in the first place.


    The upper echelon of the Duanmu Family also told Zhao Yufei that they were negotiating with the imperials and saying that they were going to cancel the marriage in order to calm her down, but the main target of the Duanmu Family''s upper echelon and the imperials was very obvious ¨C Zhao Feng.


    "You don''t need to worry about that." The male from the Grand Duke''s Palace spoke in a decisive tone with a disdainful expression. From his point of view, a measly Void God Realm King from a two-star power was definitely unable to clash against the Imperials and the Duanmu Family. A goddess with the Spiritual Race bloodline wasn''t something that he could have.


    "Zhao Yufei and I come from the same family and we''ve been friends since we were young. We cultivated together and now have both come to the continent zone. Being her older brother, why can''t I worry about it?" Zhao Feng angrily told everyone an unknown truth.


    "What?" The hearts of everyone present shook.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei came from the same family? Even Duanmu Qing didn''t know this.


    Although the two were both surnamed Zhao, how many people were there in the world with this name? Everyone thought that this was just a coincidence, but Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei really did come from the same family? This meant that Zhao Feng could be considered Zhao Yufei''s older brother.


    An elder behind the black-and-golden-robed man revealed a deadly smile and spoke slowly, "Utterly ridiculous. Do you really think that we''ll believe you just because you say your Zhao Yufei''s older brother? There are far too many people in the world that have Zhao as their surname. Does that mean that all of them are Zhao Yufei''s brothers?"


    The black-and-golden-robed male revealed a joyful expression as the elder said that.


    "Are you afraid to let Zhao Yufei come out and join the conversation then?" Zhao Feng snickered coldly. He could tell that there was something wrong with the engagement or else it wouldn''t be so hard for him to even see Yufei.


    "Zhao Yufei is currently in seclusion. She isn''t someone you can see just because you want to!" the male roared and was obviously impatiently.


    "Junior, get out of here!" the square-faced elder roared as his Sacred Lord aura crushed over like a tsunami.


    Zhao Feng was caught off guard and took half a step back as the True Yuan and blood within his body tossed and turned. The other three people revealed a smug and cold smile.


    Duanmu Qing felt that something was wrong since the upper echelon of the Grand Duke''s Palace and the Duanmu Family were both here. If Zhao Feng stayed, the situation might become even worse.


    "Zhao Feng, leave first. If there''s a chance, I''ll let you see Junior Martial Sister Yufei," Duanmu Qing messaged.


    Zhao Feng gazed coldly toward the square-faced elder and the other three people. The three imperials felt their souls shake when Zhao Feng''s golden eye looked at them. It was as if all of their secrets had been exposed. Unknown fear spread across their bodies, and they started to sweat coldly.


    "Master, this disciple will be leaving then." Zhao Feng bowed and immediately left. It was impossible for him to see Yufei even if he stayed.


    Since Duanmu Qing was from the Duanmu Family, it wasn''t good for him to protect Zhao Feng. The three imperials were all cunning and couldn''t be killed; if Zhao Feng took action against them, it would only make him more infamous and give them an genuine reason to attack him.


    However, where should Zhao Feng go now? He took out the map he bought while they were travelling.


    "The Duanmu Family is based in the Yun Province, and I''m currently in range of Long Rainbow City. Let''s go there for now."


    His Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had reached the 8th level ¨C the Fire of Wind Lightning ¨C but Zhao Feng didn''t have any fire elemental resources and needed to purchase some.


    Within the hall of the Duanmu Family:


    "Grand Elder, leave this to us." The male in black-and-golden robes revealed a wicked smile.


    "Nine Darkness Palace doesn''t know about Zhao Feng''s whereabouts right now, but we''ll tell them." An elder from the imperials planned.


    "Why don''t we just do it ourselves?" The other elder was impatient.


    "Hmph. Zhao Feng still has one more God Slaying Arrow. However, a Sacred Lord from Nine Darkness Palace was killed by Zhao Feng, so they won''t let him off so easily." The black-and-golden-robed male revealed a cunning expression.


    "Hehe, true. We''ll let those from Nine Darkness Palace go first then."


    "He only has one more God Slaying Arrow remaining. Zhao Feng can''t escape."


    Four of the Duanmu Family''s upper echelon members nearby had unwilling expressions, but they had to do so for the family.


    "Grand Elder, don''t worry. Once Zhao Feng dies, the marriage will be much easier. The Thirteenth Prince is extremely favored right now. If he becomes the Crown Prince and then becomes the Sacred Emperor¡­ hehehe." The black-and-golden-robed male had an excited expression, and the expressions of the Duanmu Family''s upper echelon became decisive.


    Everything was going forward just like how the black-and-golden-robed male said it would. The Duanmu Family would soon be able to rise again and return to its peak. It might even become one of the best among the Eight Big Families.

 917 Saint Herb Pavilion

    Chapter 917 - Saint Herb Pavilion


    Although the Thirteenth Prince had average talent, his birth was extremely noble, and he was favored by the current Sacred Emperor. His mother was also the Empress. Therefore, the forces behind the Thirteenth Prince were extremely strong, and due to Zhao Yufei''s engagement, the Duanmu Family was now pulled onto the Thirteenth Prince''s side as well.


    There were rumors that the Empress was making even more preparations. Right now, the Thirteenth Prince even had the ability to fight with the Fourth Prince, who had the strongest power right now.


    The Thirteenth Prince had a big chance to become the Crown Prince. Even if he failed though, the Thirteenth Prince would have a high status among the imperials in the future, and the Duanmu Family could still use him to rise.


    The four upper echelon members of the Duanmu Family nodded their heads after thinking for a while.


    There was less than a year and a half left till the battle to become Crown Prince, and all the information agencies were gathering information regarding the princes to analyze who would be the winner. All forces in the lord dynasty were starting to take their sides.


    While Zhao Feng was looking around, he bought a report on the estimation of the princes'' strengths.


    A total of ten princes were participating in the fight for Crown Prince.


    Amongst them, the Fourth Prince was smart and had the greatest strength. He was ready to fight right now, and he was ranked first.


    The Thirteenth Prince had many powers behind him and was ranked second. Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be surprised. One could see just how strong the forces behind him were for him to be ranked second.


    The Ninth Prince was extremely talented, but since he had a limited background, he was ranked sixth.


    The Eighth Prince was known for his calmness and was also talented. He was ranked seventh.


    However, this was just the current estimation of the princes, and there would be changes in the future.


    "The Ninth Prince has the weakest background amongst the ten princes but is ranked 6th."


    Zhao Feng knew more about the Ninth Prince. Of the three princes he had interacted with, the Ninth Prince gave Zhao Feng a good impression.


    Zhao Feng stopped walking and looked at an elegant building ahead.


    Saint Herbs Pavilion. This was the largest herbs market in Long Rainbow City, and it was the most famous in Yun Province.


    With Zhao Feng''s current wealth, he could obviously buy the best herbs and medicines.


    "Welcome, may I ask what you need? I can introduce everything to you." An elegant female in a long green shirt came forward and helped the customers.


    "I need precious and rare herbs of the Fire element," Zhao Feng said.


    "Sure, please come with me. The precious materials are all on the 5th floor."


    The elegant female was happy. She could tell just from his looks that this customer was not normal, otherwise he wouldn''t have asked for precious resources right away.


    The Saint Herb Pavilion had nine floors. Each floor was extremely big and contained many resources, and Zhao Feng looked across all of them with one glance.


    The first floor of the Saint Herb Pavilion was almost completely full and contained the resources needed by those at the True Human Rank.


    There were only a couple hundred Sovereign Lords on the fifth floor that were choosing their herbs. Zhao Feng''s expression remained calm as he continued forward.


    "Dear customer, you¡­?" The expression of the elegant female changed slightly. This customer didn''t even look at the herbs on the fifth floor.


    "I want the very best," Zhao Feng''s voice sounded in this female''s soul, and her body shook as she followed behind Zhao Feng; "Dear customer, please come with me to the eighth floor."


    The higher floors had aura sealing arrays, but Zhao Feng could still sense it.


    There were only five Emperors on the eighth floor picking their herbs.


    "Brother Zhao, why are you here?" A handsome youth in golden robes paused for a moment as he saw Zhao Feng''s golden hair before coming forward with joy.


    Behind the golden-robed youth was an elder in black with one eye. He looked at Zhao Feng with a deep glance.


    The elegant female saw that Young Master Nine knew this this golden-haired youth and immediately retreated because the pavilion owner had said that no one was to question anything about Young Master Nine.


    Zhao Feng didn''t expect to see the Ninth Prince here as well. The Ninth Prince needed to come personally to choose his own herbs? And needed Old Ying to come with him? Zhao Feng seemed to guess something and raised his head toward the ninth floor.


    "There were some things going on so I came here." Zhao Feng didn''t want to talk about what happened in the Duanmu Family.


    "May I know what Brother Zhao thinks now?"


    When the Ninth Prince saw Zhao Feng, he had thought that the latter agreed to his request and came here to find him specifically, but the Ninth Prince knew that he had thought too much after hearing Zhao Feng''s reply.


    However, he didn''t give up. As long as Zhao Feng wasn''t recruited by any other prince, he still had a chance.


    "I''m not sure yet, I still need to think for a while."


    Zhao Feng came here for the marriage and didn''t have time to care about anything else yet.


    The Ninth Prince''s expression faltered for a moment before smiling; "This is indeed Brother Zhao''s personality. You''re very similar to the one up top."


    "Why not let Brother Nine introduce the one up top to me?" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile.


    Although the materials on the eighth floor were indeed rare, there wasn''t a large amount of Fire elemental resources. It was better to find the owner if he wanted to find more precious resources. Furthermore, the owner was definitely not simple if the Ninth Prince wanted to recruit them but felt defeated.


    "Sure, let''s go." The Ninth Prince immediately agreed. He now had an excuse to go back up.


    The instant he stepped onto the ninth floor, Zhao Feng knew that he had come to the right place since the air was filled with plentiful Fire elemental atoms.


    "Young Master Nine, you really don''t need to come anymore. I won''t agree," the voice of an impatient male sounded from the ninth floor.


    At the entrance was an elder in black clothes who had the cultivation of an Emperor. He only gave a faint nod when he saw the Ninth Prince.


    "Elder Sister Su''er, my friend Brother Zhao wants to meet you and buy some precious resources while he''s at it," the Ninth Prince explained.


    Zhao Feng looked over and saw a female in white clothes. Her skin was extremely smooth, but she had furrowed eyebrows. She bent down and looked at a purple beehive within a purple wooden box.


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. He didn''t expect the owner of the Saint Herb Pavilion to be such a young and pretty girl.


    "Not interested. The other floors have all the materials." Zhou Su''er''s eyes were trained on the purple beehive, and she had furrowed eyebrows. She didn''t even look at the Ninth Prince.


    The Ninth Prince looked at Zhao Feng and signaled that the owner''s personality was like this and there was nothing he could do.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. Based on the fact that this girl didn''t even put the Ninth Prince in her eyes, the force behind her was not normal.


    "Pavilion owner, I came to the ninth floor because I want the resource in front of you." Zhao Feng looked at the beehive within the purple wooden box.


    Zhou Su''er''s eyebrows furrowed as she turned around and looked at Zhao Feng impatiently, "You want this? Do you even know what it is?"


    Zhou Su''er was speechless. From her point of view, this was just some random person that the Ninth Prince found to talk to her.


    "Sky Rainbow Fire Beehive," Zhao Feng quickly said. His left eye could see through anything and remember everything he ever saw.


    Zhou Su''er was slightly surprised. This random person that the Ninth Prince found answered correctly.


    The Ninth Prince and Old Ying paused as well. They didn''t know the name of the beehive either, but Zhao Feng answered correctly. Could it be that Zhao Feng also knew a lot about herbs?


    "En, you got it right, but the Sky Rainbow Fire Beehive hasn''t been refined yet, so I''m not selling it." Zhou Su''er inspected the youth in front of her and declined in a straightforward manner.


    "Then get rid of all the poison and sell it to me," Zhao Feng said, and Zhou Su''er almost fell over as she turned around and stared at Zhao Feng while she cursed in her heart, This brat is doing this on purpose. If I could get rid of the poison, then I would have done so long ago.


    "Or you can sell it to me right now and I''ll get rid of the poison myself," Zhao Feng added when he felt that Zhou Su''er was looking at him with anger.


    "What? You!?" Zhou Su''er exclaimed but stopped herself. She had obtained the Sky Rainbow Fire Beehive a month ago and still didn''t know how to get rid of the poison, and now a random youth said that he could?


    "Hmph, if you take it back with you and die from the poison, it''ll tarnish the name of the Saint Herb Pavilion." Zhou Su''er pouted as she inspected Zhao Feng.


    "How about I get rid of the poison right here, and if I succeed, you sell it to me?" Zhao Feng smiled.


    "Sure, if you can get rid of the poison in the Sky Rainbow Fire Beehive, I''ll give it to you and help you choose whatever other resources you want." Zhou Su''er didn''t believe this youth in his teens could really get rid of this poison. Of course, if he could, she could secretly learn the technique off him, so giving it to him wouldn''t matter.


    The Ninth Prince revealed a joyful expression. If Zhao Feng really could get rid of the poison, then he''d have something to talk about with Zhou Su''er.


    Zhao Feng looked at the purple beehive and circulated his Magnificent Power so that it floated in the air. A layer of golden light suddenly appeared from his left eye and released a surge of Soul Intent from his God Tribulation Lightning Soul Body.


    The three spectators and the elder guarding the entrance felt their souls shake as they looked at the golden-haired male in shock and panic.


    "What strong Soul Intent!" The elder guarding the doorway felt his heart tremble.


    "Who is this youth!?" Zhou Su''er''s expression became solemn. This youth was definitely not normal.


    Only Old Ying and the Ninth Prince knew that Zhao Feng was actually suppressing his Soul Intent.


    Weng~~


    As the Intent was released, a faint golden undulation merged from the golden ball into his left eye.


    Whoosh!


    A mysterious golden beam of light scraped across the surface of the purple beehive, and Zhao Feng soon understood the situation of the poison.


    The atoms of the poison flowed through the cracks of the beehive and almost became one with it, but from Zhao Feng''s point of view, the poison atoms had the element of Darkness while the atoms of the beehive had the elements of Fire and Wood. The difference between the two were extremely obvious, and the erosion of the poison wasn''t very strong. The two types of atoms hadn''t merged together yet.


    Disintegrate!


    A faint golden light suddenly shot forward, and the surface of the purple beehive that was touched by the golden light instantly turned red.


    Zhou Su''er and company had bulging eyes as they looked at Zhao Feng''s golden eye in disbelief. It was this easy? Did he just change the color of it?


    At this moment, Zhao Feng stopped his disintegration. This was a new use that Zhao Feng had developed in the Misty Spatial World, and it was very useful for separating two atoms of different elements.


    It required more energy and control. Even though Zhao Feng had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, he didn''t dare to be overconfident. Zhao Feng wasn''t able to use this technique in battle.


    "You really got rid of the poison? How did you do it?" Zhou Su''er was unable to remain calm. She couldn''t even figure out what he did, let alone secretly learn his skill.

 918 Stubborn

    Chapter 918 - Stubborn


    "You really got rid of the poison? How did you do it?" Zhou Su''er was unable to remain calm. She couldn''t even figure out what he did, let alone secretly learn his skill.


    Even Old Ying, who was extremely knowledgeable, was stunned and in deep thought. He thought that Zhao Feng would use some kind of unknown hand technique to get rid of the poison, not an eye-bloodline technique. Most eye-bloodline techniques affected the soul; it was very difficult to affect items in the physical world. On top of that, he couldn''t even understand what type of eye-bloodline technique it was.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved his left arm and put the Sky Rainbow Fire Beehive into the Misty Spatial World.


    "Take me to choose the other resources now." Zhao Feng ignored Zhou Su''er''s questioning, and a playful smile appeared on his face.


    "Fine, you can choose any ten items of the same value as the Sky Rainbow Fire Beehive. I won''t charge you for them if you tell me how you got rid of the poison." Zhou Su''er stomped her foot in anger and tried to acquire Zhao Feng''s poison removal technique.


    One had to know that the value of the Sky Rainbow Fire Beehive was the same as a Green Water Sky Lotus, and it was very rare in the outside world. This was something that even more peak Emperors couldn''t resist.


    "I have a lot of Primal Crystal Stones," Zhao Feng replied.


    "Fine, you have Primal Crystal Stones, you can do whatever you want." Zhou Su''er stomped her foot in anger and squeezed out a smile. This youth was extremely stubborn.


    The Ninth Prince laughed secretly. He didn''t tell Zhou Su''er about Zhao Feng''s identity. Zhao Feng had obtained a lot in the Divine Illusion Dimension and wouldn''t care about the value of these materials.


    The Ninth Prince felt happy when he saw Zhou Su''er, who had always rejected him, be defeated by Zhao Feng, and he almost laughed out loud.


    "I want the best Fire elemental resources here." Zhao Feng went straight for the best.


    If it was under normal circumstances, Zhou Su''er would be very happy if a customer said this, but at this moment in time, she glared at Zhao Feng with deadly eyes, and a sentence filled her heart; So stubborn.


    Zhou Su''er took out some Fire elemental resources from the treasury and let Zhao Feng choose from them.


    The golden eye allowed Zhao Feng to see the number of Fire atoms within each herb, so Zhao Feng could see how much use each one was to him.


    "Elder Sister Su''er, you should think it through. There are many rare herbs in the Imperial Tombs, and even some treasures left behind from the Ancient Era." The Ninth Prince went forward and tried to persuade her again.


    "I''ve already thought it through. I''m not going." Zhou Su''er''s eyes were stilled trained on Zhao Feng, who was picking herbs, and didn''t bother with the Ninth Prince.


    "I know you don''t like father, but¡­" The Ninth Prince sighed.


    "Shut up! Don''t you dare talk about him." Zhou Su''er stopped the Ninth Prince, and her gaze went cold.


    Zhao Feng was surprised, and he could guess the identity of this girl.


    The Ninth Prince wanted to recruit Zhou Su''er mainly because of her healing abilities. Zhao Feng originally just wanted to buy some resources, and if he could, help the Ninth Prince recruit whoever he wanted, but the Ninth Prince was stopped by Zhou Su''er right away.


    "The current Sacred Emperor favors the Thirteenth Prince, and he is very likely to become the Crown Prince. If you don''t like the current Sacred Emperor, then why don''t you help the Ninth Prince become the Crown Prince? Isn''t that very good?" Zhao Feng gave a warm smile as he finished picking what he wanted and casually said with the identity of a bystander.


    Zhou Su''er''s heart seemed to be touched, and she turned toward Zhao Feng as if she was about to say something. In the end, she didn''t say anything and just looked into the distance.


    The hearts of the Ninth Prince and Old Ying jumped. What Zhao Feng said was perfect, and only an outsider''s words could persuade her. The Ninth Prince gave Zhao Feng a grateful expression before turning toward Zhou Su''er and awaiting her reply.


    Zhao Feng took the herbs and left an interspatial ring behind before leaving. He then walked around for a while after leaving the Saint Herb Pavilion before leaving the market.


    There were continuous hills and trees around. This was a place where there weren''t many people.


    "You guys are pretty patient." Zhao Feng stopped and suddenly turned around as his left eye locked onto a certain place several thousand miles away.


    "Go!" Four gray figures shot out from the forest and surrounded Zhao Feng.


    "Demonic Dao aura? Nine Darkness Palace?" Zhao Feng asked as he looked at a grim-faced elder.


    The elder didn''t move. He started to send messages to the other three.


    They had been following Zhao Feng from the very beginning and became cautious when they saw that Zhao Feng had entered the Saint Herb Pavilion and started to talk with the Ninth Prince on the eighth floor.


    The current time period was extremely sensitive, especially if something had anything to do with the battle for Crown Prince or the princes. If Zhao Feng was recruited by the Ninth Prince and they killed him, then the imperials would definitely find out, and because that would disturb the battle for Crown Prince, even Nine Darkness Palace would be in trouble.


    A black metallic token suddenly appeared in the elder''s hands, and with a Soul undulation, a surge of information entered the elder''s soul. The elder with the grim expression faintly nodded toward the other three figures, and the four Demonic Dao Emperors instantly spread their Little Worlds and merged them together. An invisible force full of laws filled the air.


    It was as if Zhao Feng had entered a world of darkness. Dark beams shot through the air, and they could shake one''s soul. The laws of the Little World made space unstable, so the Misty Spatial World couldn''t be used.


    "Nine Darkness Palace still hasn''t learned their lesson after losing a Sacred Lord last time?" Zhao Feng smiled and spoke confidently.


    "Junior, you really think you can kill a Sacred Lord without a substandard God weapon?" The elder covered in darkness couldn''t help but snicker.


    Zhao Feng was only at the late stages of the Void God Realm, and even if he was extremely talented, they had three unrivalled Emperors and one peak Emperor. This was more than enough. Furthermore, they had a plan to counter him.


    The four surrounded Zhao Feng and slowly damaged him with long range attacks. Once Zhao Feng used his God Slaying Arrow, they would run, and only one of them would die, which was simply a matter of their luck.


    The four Emperors all used their Little Worlds to increase their power, and Zhao Feng became suppressed.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!"


    Zhao Feng''s body glittered with golden arcs of lightning as he became taller and turned into a miniature giant. His physical strength caused the four Little Worlds to twist and become unstable.


    Boom! Boom!


    The four Emperors'' attacks landed on Zhao Feng''s body and caused lightning to flash, but they soon faded away.


    "What? This junior''s body has become so strong?" The elder with the grim expression was surprised.


    In the information that he had received, it said that Zhao Feng''s physical defense was extremely strong, but he didn''t expect it to have reached such a level that he could manage to block the attacks of four Emperors. This meant that it would be hard to force Zhao Feng to use the God Slaying Arrow.


    "Attack with our full strength!" The voice of an old granny sounded from within a ball of demonic black flames as she sent out a weird black-and-white fire with her hands.


    "We can''t let him live!" A black-and-white bone staff appeared in the hands of the elder with the grim expression. There was a black demonic pearl on it that gave off a cold aura.


    "Demonic Sky Blast!" The elder with the grim expression waved the bone staff, and the black demonic pearl released a surge of demonic light and a Soul undulation.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The four Emperors circulated their power and attacked with their full strength. The entire world of darkness started to shake as ghastly cries and screams sounded.


    "Hahaha, come!"


    Sacred Lightning Protection!


    Weng~~


    A barrier of lightning suddenly appeared around Zhao Feng alongside the hum of wind and lightning. All the attacks were blocked by the Sacred Lightning Protection as lightning crackled.


    Boom!


    The barrier glittered with lightning and crushed all of the attacks, and the soul attack that passed through touched Zhao Feng''s God Tribulation Lightning Soul Body and was instantly destroyed.


    Zhao Feng watched all of this happen and suddenly had a thought. Could he alter the Sacred Lightning Protection and create a defensive soul technique? However, right now wasn''t the time.


    Zhao Feng hadn''t fought with anyone head-on after his Sacred Lightning Body reached the peak 5th level. There was finally someone here that could be used to test his Sacred Lightning Body and ignite the physical power within his body.


    The power of the Little World nearby suddenly disappeared. The four Demonic Dao Emperors had used secret techniques to run away.


    "Not good, I revealed too much of my strength and scared them away." Zhao Feng felt slightly awkward before laughing coldly. "But can you guys run away?"


    Boom!


    This voice sounded in the souls of the four Emperors and caused their souls to shake. They started to sweat as they ran away even faster.


    Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng''s left eye released a surge of golden Soul power. A faint golden Eye of Heaven appeared in the sky above the elder with the grim expression. A bolt of golden lightning shot down into the elder''s soul. The golden lightning entered the depths of his soul before the power of God Tribulation Lightning flashed, and the elder''s body fell.


    At the same time, a beam of golden light landed on the head of a black figure who was trying to escape several thousand miles away. A weird scene happened; the black figure''s head suddenly disappeared, and then his body fell.


    Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!


    After using two eye-bloodline techniques, Zhao Feng turned into a scarlet-red bolt of lightning that disappeared into the air. The next instant, Zhao Feng reappeared several thousand miles away, and his Sacred Lightning Body released a pressure that crushed down on the area. The Scarlet Wings of Lightning behind his back flapped and raised a storm of fire and lightning.


    Sacred Lightning Dominating Fist!


    Zhao Feng punched out with both hands and unleashed fist after fist of golden light that engulfed the granny in black.


    "Not dead yet?" Zhao Feng''s eyes locked onto a blinking dark figure.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Blood Devil Sun bloodline and radiated a wave of fire.


    Shu~~~~


    Zhao Feng charged forward with unparalleled speed and power.


    Boom!


    The granny was hit by a ball of fire and lightning, and her body shattered into pieces.


    Miao!


    With a flash of dark silver, the little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and had a successful expression.


    Four Emperors had been killed.


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. Due to many reasons, he couldn''t do anything at the Duanmu Family and was extremely frustrated, but these people from Nine Darkness Palace came and let him release his anger. It was very nice of them.


    After finishing off these four people, Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile as he looked into the distance; "Was that a good show for you two?"

 919 I Want to Kill as Well

    Chapter 919 - I Want to Kill as Well


    "Was that a good show for you two?"


    Zhao Feng''s calm greeting sounded in the souls of two middle-aged males and woke them up from their daze as their souls started to shake in fear and panic. The two looked at one another, then took out a dark yellow talisman and imprinted their Soul Intents into it. The talisman then merged into the air and disappeared.


    They were responsible for getting information, and they specialized in tracking, sensing, and stealth, so they were able to understand most of the battle just now. However, they never would have expected Zhao Feng to have noticed them from the beginning.


    Zhao Feng purposely chased after the old granny in order to get closer to these two while they were unaware so that they didn''t run away.


    They approved of Zhao Feng''s strength and intelligence, and since they couldn''t escape, the only thing they could do before they died was to send news out.


    Whoosh!


    A faint golden beam shot forward into the distance. The next instant, the dark yellow talisman appeared and slowly faded away.


    The hearts of the two males shook once again as they looked at the arriving giant of fire and lightning with despair. They found it hard to speak just from the pressure alone, and they knelt on the ground, awaiting their future.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye released a surge of Soul power that immediately restrained the two males'' souls.


    "Soul Search!"


    A wicked Soul undulation came from his left eye and charged into their souls. Two breaths later, Zhao Feng waved his hand, and the power of scarlet lightning and his fire bloodline turned the two men into ashes.


    "Thirteenth Prince!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes went cold. After performing the Soul Search, he now knew everything. The Thirteenth Prince''s force had sent news about Zhao Feng to Nine Darkness Palace. They wanted to let Nine Darkness Palace take action first because they were scared of Zhao Feng''s God Slaying Arrow and wanted to probe his power. If Nine Darkness Palace failed, the next assassins would be better equipped to counter Zhao Feng.


    "As I thought, Yufei is being tricked." Zhao Feng was now completely sure, and his eyes became cold.


    Getting rid of Zhao Feng was part of the Thirteenth Prince''s plan. As long as Zhao Feng died, Zhao Yufei''s support would crumble, and with the engagement, the Thirteenth Prince would be able to comfort Yufei and slowly win her heart. Then, if he became the Crown Prince, then everything would become much easier.


    "Hehe, you want me to die and become the Crown Prince?" Zhao Feng laughed coldly as a cold light flashed through his eyes. Invisible killing intent made the sky turn dark.


    "But Nine Darkness Palace and the Thirteenth Prince''s force won''t give up so easily."


    Zhao Feng revealed a thoughtful expression. The Thirteenth Prince would definitely try to get rid of Zhao Feng in order to get Zhao Yufei, and the forces behind him were extremely strong. On top of that, Nine Darkness Palace had the same idea as the Thirteenth Prince, and they were even willing to send four Emperors in order to force Zhao Feng to use his God Slaying Arrow.


    Those four Emperors probably didn''t even know that the upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace didn''t have any hope of them killing Zhao Feng. However, they were all dead now, and no one would be able to send any information.


    After thinking for a while, Zhao Feng revealed a smile. "Hehehe, looks like this is destiny."


    The ninth God''s Eye¡­ the Ninth Prince.


    Since he made a decision, Zhao Feng immediately flew toward Long Rainbow City.


    Back in the Saint Herb Pavilion, the Ninth Prince was still on the ninth floor talking with Zhou Su''er, so Zhao Feng just went straight up.


    "Why are you back here again?" Zhou Su''er''s dissatisfied voice sounded. She couldn''t do anything to Zhao Feng. This youth was just too stubborn.


    Zhao Feng completely ignored her and walked to the Ninth Prince, "Ninth Prince, if your promise still stands, then I agree."


    The Ninth Prince paused for a moment before becoming filled with joy. When he saw Zhao Feng, he asked this question, and Zhao Feng replied that he still had to think about it. He didn''t have much hope since two and a half years of time should''ve been more than enough time for Zhao Feng to think all of it through. However, Zhao Feng left for five minutes, and now he suddenly came back and agreed.


    Like Zhou Su''er thought, Zhao Feng was stubborn, but because of what Zhao Feng suggested earlier, his talks with Zhou Su''er were progressing forward.


    The Ninth Prince was instantly filled with confidence. In his heart, Zhao Feng specialized in soul attacks and could become one of his main battle powers. He was also a talented beast tamer, and he had the Misty Spatial World, which was extremely useful.


    Zhou Su''er''s eyebrows furrowed slightly. After Zhao Feng left, the Ninth Prince told her about his identity and surprised her. She felt a lot better after thinking about how all the other forces in the Divine Illusion Dimension and ancient mysterious palace had been beaten by Zhao Feng and couldn''t do anything either.


    The Ninth Prince then told her how he wanted to recruit Zhao Feng, but he still hadn''t agreed even after two and a half years. He hadn''t joined any other Prince''s force yet either.


    Zhou Su''er was the same. Right now, the Fourth, Seventh, and Eighth Princes had also come more than once, but she rejected all of them.


    "Why did you suddenly agree?" Zhou Su''er walked forward and looked at Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Zhao Feng didn''t agree to the Ninth Prince after two and a half years'' time. Why did he suddenly agree after going out for a while? She felt extremely puzzled. What could''ve happened to make him so decisive?


    "Because I want to kill the Thirteenth Prince." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile as he spoke.


    First, the Thirteenth Prince basically ruined Zhao Feng''s relationship with the Duanmu Family; Duanmu Qing didn''t know what to do about the situation, and Zhao Yufei was extremely sad and worried. Now, he tried to kill Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng couldn''t forgive such a person.


    The expressions of the Ninth Prince, Old Ying, and the elder in black who was guarding the entrance changed dramatically. They all stopped breathing as they looked deeply at Zhao Feng.


    If those words were said in public, then Zhao Feng would be destined to die.


    Although the Ninth Prince was the Thirteenth Prince''s older brother, almost all of the princes had different mothers. While it seemed like the relationship between princes was calm, everyone hoped the others would die. They wouldn''t take action themselves, but they wouldn''t be sad if it happened.


    None of the princes would attack another prince even in secret, because once they were found out, their imperial bloodlines would be stripped away forever.


    "Hehe." Zhou Su''er suddenly started to laugh coldly and then spoke in a nonchalant tone, "I also want to kill younger brother Thirteenth Prince. I agree."


    The Ninth Prince was still wondering why Zhao Feng would say what he did, and Zhou Su''er also suddenly agreed to his recruitment.


    All of this came too quickly, and he couldn''t believe it. In just an instant, he had two experts on his side.


    He suddenly thought that all of this was because of the Thirteenth Prince, so he should give the latter his thanks.


    Old Ying revealed a smile as he gave Zhao Feng a deep glance. The original chance of the Ninth Prince winning was zero, but now there was a tinge of hope.


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng, now that we''re on the same side, can you tell me how you got rid of the poison?" Zhou Su''er''s attitude suddenly changed as she revealed a cute smile and looked at Zhao Feng as if they were very familiar with each other.


    The others nearby started to sweat. As they thought, women flipped faces faster than books. However, they were also curious about that matter.


    "I''ll explain later when I have the time. However, now that we''re on the same side, are the herbs in the Saint Herb Pavilion free?" Zhao Feng avoided Zhou Su''er''s question and countered.


    It didn''t really matter if he told them about the ability of his left eye, but the principles behind it definitely couldn''t be spread.


    Zhou Su''er''s face instantly stiffened. Indeed, it was impossible for her to be at an advantage against Zhao Feng.


    "Hahaha." The Ninth Prince laughed. Today was a good day.


    "Ninth Prince, I''ve just come to the inner area of the continent and don''t have anywhere to stay. May I¡­?" Zhao Feng asked slowly in an awkward tone. He also came to the Ninth Prince to find a place to stay.


    "I understand. Why not come to my place? It''s a calm and quiet place that suits cultivation." The Ninth Prince instantly understood what Zhao Feng meant, and he knew how much of a cultivation maniac Zhao Feng was, so he invited Zhao Feng to his place.


    "Thank you." Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head and wasn''t very respectful.


    There was no place safer than the Imperial Palace. This meant that he now had an identity as well, so even the Thirteenth Prince and Nine Darkness Palace wouldn''t dare to attack him.


    "Elder Sister Su''er, then I''ll be leaving." The Ninth Prince said goodbye to Zhou Su''er, then he left toward the Imperial Palace with Zhao Feng and Old Ying.


    "Ninth Prince, Zhou Su''er is a Princess?"


    Zhao Feng could guess a thing or two from how the Ninth Prince called Zhou Su''er.


    "That''s right, and Elder Sister Su''er was once father''s most favored princess," the Ninth Prince gave a faint smile and said.


    "Then why did she leave the palace?" Zhao Feng didn''t understand. Why did Zhou Su''er dislike the Sacred Emperor and the Thirteenth Prince?


    "Zhou Su''er''s mother was once the Empress, but now she''s gone." The Ninth Prince''s expression softened a little as he sighed.


    There was no such thing as friendship between princes, but it was different with princesses since they had no reason to interfere with princes. All of the princes would try to get on the princesses'' good side because their future partners would be extremely famous and strong.


    Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head as he understood. After Zhou Su''er''s mother died, the Sacred Emperor married another woman whose son happened to be the Thirteenth Prince.


    However, while Zhao Feng had said what he did, he wouldn''t act rashly. The Thirteenth Prince had the Sacred Emperor and Empress behind his back, and behind the lord dynasty was the four-star Grand Imperial Hall. He wouldn''t take action against the Thirteenth Prince unless he was certain of victory.


    More than twenty days later, Zhao Feng arrived at the Imperial Palace. Zhao Feng could feel a surge of power guarding this place when he got close. Zhao Feng felt as if all his actions were controlled by a mysterious power when he entered. Apart from the Sacred Emperor and a few others, flying was not allowed here.


    Zhao Feng followed the Ninth Prince and entered through the main gates of the Imperial Palace.


    "Zhao Feng?" a familiar voice sounded.


    "Big Brother Eighth Prince." The Ninth Prince had a faint smile and a smug expression. He believed that the Eighth and Thirteenth Princes knew how strong Zhao Feng was. The Eighth Prince even knew Zhao Feng before the Divine Illusion Dimension, but it was the Ninth Prince that managed to recruit Zhao Feng.


    It was still Luo Zun next to the Eighth Prince. They both had complicated expressions as they looked at Zhao Feng.


    The Eighth Prince was actually slightly regretful. If it wasn''t for Luo Shui''er, he wouldn''t have harassed Zhao Feng so many times, and maybe it would''ve been him that recruited Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s display in the Divine Illusion Dimension had even suppressed an important subordinate of the Fourth Prince, Xin Wuheng.


    Zhao Feng had now reached the late stages of the Void God Realm, but the Eight Prince didn''t dare to estimate his true strength nor look at the golden eye. His soul would tremble if he did so.

 920 Entering the Imperial Palace

    Chapter 920 - Entering the Imperial Palace


    "Younger brother Ninth Prince, congratulations on recruiting such an expert," the Eighth Prince said.


    He and Luo Zun felt disgusted and helpless when facing Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng''s mysteriousness and his troublesome ways were deeply imprinted in their hearts.


    However, the Ninth Prince recruiting Zhao Feng didn''t change the situation much. After all, the force behind the Ninth Prince was too weak, and he didn''t have many strong experts. His overall strength was still ranked very low.


    According to previous experience, the Crown Prince only came from the princes ranked in the top five. Those that were ranked lower had almost no chance of winning.


    They went to the Imperial Tomb to find fortune and consolidate their strength. They might be able to receive a high position of power in the future, and it would be even better if they could join the Grand Imperial Hall.


    However, there was still some time till the battle for Crown Prince, so no one knew what would happen.


    They greeted the Ninth Prince and soon left. There was nothing to say between Zhao Feng and Luo Zun.


    "Luo Zun." The Eighth Prince could sense that Luo Zun was acting weird, and he knew why. When they first met Zhao Feng, he wasn''t even a True Lord. They didn''t put him in their eyes at all, but now Zhao Feng had become a peak existence amongst the younger generation. His ranking on the Imperial Dao geniuses had risen to 7th place. It wasn''t a good feeling seeing a weak ant become stronger step by step and surpassing them.


    "Eight Prince, I''m fine. Zhao Feng will definitely not be my match when my dual-element Little World is formed." Luo Zun''s eyes suddenly released a bright light as battle intent burned in his heart.


    He was now a Void God Realm Emperor. The main difference between Kings and Emperors was the understanding of Heaven and Earth and the power of their Little World. If Luo Zun was able to fully form his dual-element Little World, he wouldn''t be scared even of old peak Emperors.


    "That''s good. Even if our next talk doesn''t go well, our overall strength will increase."


    Even if he wasn''t the hot candidate to become the Crown Prince, the Eighth Prince was going to give it his all and leave no regrets. The Imperial Tombs had many secrets. It wasn''t always the strongest that won.


    The Great Gan Imperial Palace was extremely magnificent and was filled with golden light. It was as if there was a golden-scaled dragon staying here. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within the palace was several tiers higher than the outside world, and there was the invisible protection of providence here.


    The princes stayed in the areas of the palace with the densest Yuan Qi.


    Many members of the imperial force greeted them on the way.


    "Your Highness Ninth Prince."


    "Ninth Prince is back?"


    "Your Highness acquired a lot this time."


    While they were greeting the Ninth Prince, they were also inspecting Zhao Feng curiously. They didn''t need to ask; they knew that this person that the Ninth Prince had recruited was extremely young. What did he specialize in for the Ninth Prince to take him here personally?


    However, those that didn''t think well of the Ninth Prince didn''t pay much attention to Zhao Feng. Most of the people that were recruited by a prince were legends from the older generation. There were some exceptions, such as Xin Wuheng under the Fourth Prince, but Xin Wuheng was famous across the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Who knew what kind of place this golden-haired brat came from?


    "He''s too young. Even if he is talented, he''s inexperienced, so he won''t be of much use."


    "Of course, only those with strength and intelligence know what to choose."


    An old butler quickly came forward when the Ninth Prince returned.


    "Your Highness, just a while ago, Grandmaster Beast Tamer Liang Sang from Sky Pond City came to visit." The butler had a joyful expression as he reported while he also inspected Zhao Feng.


    "Okay," the Ninth Prince replied before leading Zhao Feng to a side hall.


    The old butler paused for a moment. Beast Tamer Liang Sang was someone that the Ninth Prince placed great importance on. He wanted to recruit the man but had been declined. Now that Beast Tamer Liang Sang had come to visit, the Ninth Prince was acting like he didn''t care. There was definitely something going on.


    "Your Highness, Liang Sang said that if you can give him five rare Peak-tier King beasts, he will agree," the old butler followed behind and continued.


    "If Liang Sang comes again in the future, just decline him straight away," the Ninth Prince led Zhao Feng to an extravagant side hall and told the old butler.


    The old butler was stunned. Decline him straight away? Could the Ninth Prince have already found a beast tamer? It wasn''t that golden-haired youth, right?


    "Could it be that his Highness has already given up on the battle for Crown Prince?" The old butler shook his head. Such a young beast tamer was definitely not a match for Beast Tamer Liang Sang.


    There were a few princes among the ten princes that weren''t actually interested in becoming the Crown Prince. However, these princes still had the ability to take people into the Imperial Tombs with them, so a lot of forces paid a heavy price to try to obtain a spot and let the geniuses of their families or factions go in to find fortune.


    From the old butler''s point of view, His Highness may have sold a spot to some faction or family.


    "Ninth Prince, I''ll be staying here for now then." Zhao Feng was very straightforward and direct. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here was extremely dense, and he had the protection of providence here. Cultivating here would be much easier.


    "Brother Zhao, I have some things to attend to. You can stay here without worry. If you need anything, just tell Butler Qi."


    The Ninth Prince and Butler Qi told him some things before leaving with Old Ying.


    Zhao Feng walked into the hall and entered seclusion.


    His cultivation was still too low. There was no limit on age for the experts that entered the Imperial Tombs, which meant that it wasn''t just an exchange between those of the younger generation. It was also between the previous generation and elites of the older generation.


    Each team had someone responsible for a certain aspect. Since Zhao Feng was using the Ninth Prince to protect himself, he would help the Ninth Prince as much as he could.


    The God Tribulation head floated in the dimension of his left eye above the golden ball.


    Zhao Feng found that, even though the purple mist had disappeared, he could summon the power of God Tribulation Lightning, and it would automatically disappear and merge into his soul.


    Zhao Feng''s soul was more condensed than others. A strong soul meant a strong mind and strong Soul Intent. Furthermore, his soul contained the symbols of God Tribulation Lightning, which would appear whenever he circulated his soul power. Therefore, any of Zhao Feng''s soul attacks would contain God Tribulation Lightning.


    Once his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body broke through to the 6th level, he would be able to use the God Tribulation Lightning Soul Body to refine his Sacred Lightning Body. At that point in time, Zhao Feng''s soul and physical body would both contain the Intent of God Tribulation Lightning, which would be of great help when he faced the God Tribulation in the future.


    Zhao Feng split his consciousness into four parts.


    The first was to absorb the God Tribulation Lightning. The second cultivated the Fire of Wind Lightning. The third comprehended the structure of particles within the golden ball, and the fourth refined the Sacred Lightning Body by using the power of Scarlet Lightning Blood Fire, which was formed by merging the Blood Devil Sun bloodline and the Fire of Wind Lightning.


    "Fire Scaled Grass, Fireweed¡­"


    Zhao Feng took out the Fire elemental resources he had bought from the Saint Herb Pavilion and used them.


    If others saw this, they would curse at him and cough out blood. These resources were extremely rare, and even peak Emperors would turn them into spiritual pills first, but Zhao Feng just directly ate everything.


    "I haven''t removed all the poison from the Sky Rainbow Fire Beehive yet, so I''ll use it later."


    The aura of Fire radiating from Zhao Feng''s body instantly rose, and his Fire of Wind Lightning started to boil. His Fire of Wind Lightning True Yuan quickly circulated and absorbed the medicinal energy while the remaining part of the energy was absorbed by the Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    On this day, the Fire of Wind Lightning within Zhao Feng''s Crystal Core rose rapidly.


    "My Fire of Wind Lightning has consolidated at the early stages."


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    He understood most of the theory behind particles within the golden ball in the dimension of his left eye. After all, Zhao Feng hadn''t disintegrated many items yet, so he hadn''t really received any important information yet.


    "There''s nothing of value to disintegrate in the Little World of the Misty Spatial World," Zhao Feng concluded. If he wanted to disintegrate flowers, he could just disintegrate real flowers of the outside world.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes suddenly lit up. There was an Earth-grade weapon within the storage of the Misty Spatial World, and he took it out.


    "If I disintegrate the enemy''s weapon in battle¡­ hehehe."


    Zhao Feng circulated the power of his left eye, and a faint golden beam of light shot through the weapon, but the Earth-grade weapon didn''t change even after a long time.


    "Creating any weapon requires a couple dozen or even hundreds of materials, and they''re refined together through high temperature. The atoms have changed shape and have merged with each another."


    Zhao Feng stopped the disintegration and closed his left eye. Just now, his left eye had received a lot of information regarding the structure of metallic elemental atoms. However, most of these atoms had changed shape. The toughness of weapons was decided by how condensed the atoms were, and the countless atoms made Zhao Feng''s head dizzy.


    "As I thought, disintegrating a weapon isn''t realistic."


    Zhao Feng had to give up for now.


    At the same time, within another hall.


    "Reporting to the Thirteenth Prince, these are the people that the Ninth Prince took into the palace a while ago."


    A servant knelt on the ground and handed over a white piece of paper. The Thirteenth Prince took the white piece of paper, and the image of a handsome male with golden hair and a golden eye entered his mind when his Soul Intent touched it.


    "This¡­ isn''t this Zhao Feng!?" The Thirteenth Prince immediately stood up with an enraged expression.


    "What? Chen''er, you said that the Ninth Prince took Zhao Feng into the Imperial Palace?" A powerful male sitting on a chair in the back stood up with deadly eyes.


    "Uncle, it''s Zhao Feng, but the color of his eye and hair has changed." The Thirteenth Prince was completely sure.


    "Bunch of trash!" The powerful male had an enraged expression.


    He wanted to kill Zhao Feng, and his subordinates had promised him that Zhao Feng would die, but now Zhao Feng had entered the Imperial Palace and was most likely the Ninth Prince''s subordinate now. Since he was now part of a prince''s force, they weren''t allowed to touch him.

 921 Grandmaster Beast Tamer

    Chapter 921 - Grandmaster Beast Tamer


    "Then I''ll let him live for a while. The day I become Crown Prince is the day he dies."


    The Thirteenth Prince had cold eyes.


    When the battle for Crown Prince ended, Zhao Feng would no longer be a member of the imperial force, and since he wasn''t an official, he wouldn''t be able to stay in the Imperial Palace anymore. Killing him at that time would be as easy as flipping a palm.


    Hearing that, the powerful male shook his head and sat back down.


    Zhou Chen was too young and inexperienced. Since Zhao Feng hadn''t died, the issue with Zhao Yufei would be a lot more difficult. If that had happened, news of the marriage would spread to the public, and the Thirteenth Prince''s forces would expand, but unfortunately, it didn''t happen.


    There was still a bit more than a year remaining till the fight for Crown Prince. They could only hope that the Duanmu Family would be able to confine Zhao Yufei. They couldn''t let Zhao Yufei see Zhao Feng, and it would be best for her to not hear any news about Zhao Feng at all.


    "Chen''er, how''s your recruitment going?" the powerful male asked. He was still slightly worried about Zhou Chen, so he asked about what kind of plans he had.


    "Right now, it''s full. If there are better candidates, we can replace someone."


    The Thirteenth Prince was extremely confident. Most of the issues regarding the battle for Crown Prince were decided by his mother and his uncle, but he had participated in recruiting many people and had some unexpected gains that made him smug. He would be able to surprise his mother and uncle at that time.


    "Good." The powerful male became slightly more relaxed. Zhou Chen probably wouldn''t make any mistakes about who was stronger or weaker.


    Besides, there would also be a fight for the spots before the battle for Crown Prince started. For example, many people that supported the Thirteenth Prince didn''t believe in the beast tamer''s strength and could challenge them. If they won, they would become the new beast tamer.


    This rule had only started a couple generations ago in order to allow the forces that supported the prince to all have a chance to enter the Imperial Tombs and have stronger experts on their side.


    Within the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng split another consciousness from his mind and formed the Domain of Wind Lightning. He hadn''t had much time after his re-cultivation, so Zhao Feng had only formed his Illusion Maze Domain so far.


    "It''s about time to form a Little World," Zhao Feng murmured.


    His cultivation had reached the late stages of the King level and was just one step away from the Emperor level, but that didn''t mean he couldn''t form his Little World right now. Zhao Feng''s learning and comprehension abilities surpassed others, so he could go one step further when creating his domain, and there was nothing wrong with that.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had cultivated twice now, and his understanding of the laws of Heaven and Earth surpassed other Peak-tier Kings. On top of that, Zhao Feng felt that the evolution of his left eye would be of great assistance in creating his Little World.


    Therefore, he had to create his Domain of Wind Lightning before he could confirm what element his Little World should be.


    Zhao Feng exited seclusion three months later and came to the Ninth Prince''s palace.


    "Butler Qi, can you send someone to the Saint Herb Pavilion in Long Rainbow City and get some resources for me?" Zhao Feng went to find Butler Qi.


    "No problem." Butler Qi paused for a moment. It had been three months, so he almost forgot about the golden-haired youth that lived here.


    "Go directly to the pavilion owner and tell her that Zhao Feng needs the most precious and rare Fire elemental resources."


    Zhao Feng had used up all his Fire elemental resources other than the Sky Rainbow Fire Beehive since he hadn''t finished completely removing all the poison. However, going to the Saint Herb Pavilion required two months.


    Butler Qi''s expression changed, and he laughed, "I didn''t think that Young Master Zhao was on such familiar terms with the owner of the Saint Herb Pavilion."


    The pavilion owner was Zhou Su''er, a princess of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Everyone knew this. Zhou Su''er was extremely talented, and her healing skills made even the various imperial doctors praise her.


    However, what stunned Butler Qi was the identity of this youth; it was actually Zhao Feng, one of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo that had created chaos in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    At this moment, the sound of a male sounded, "This one is Grandmaster Beast Tamer Liang Sang from Sky Pond City and is here to visit the Ninth Prince."


    Butler Qi immediately went out and spoke, "Grandmaster Liang, His Highness isn''t here."


    "Then tell the Ninth Prince that, after some consideration, I''m willing to help him if he gives me three rare Peak-tier King beasts."


    Liang Sang had a proud expression and acted like was taking a step back.


    Rare beasts were different from normal beasts. Rare beasts were harder to tame and had more potential. They weren''t something that normal beasts could be compared to.


    "I''m sorry, Grandmaster Liang, but His Highness said that he doesn''t need a beast tamer anymore," Butler Qi gave a glance toward the side hall and said with a faint smile.


    "What?" Liang Sang was extremely surprised.


    At this point in time, most forces had picked their sides already.


    Grandmaster Beast Tamers were already rare, and the reason he initially turned down the Ninth Prince was because he wanted to reap a big profit from the imperials.


    However, several months had gone by, and there were no messages from the Ninth Prince, so Liang Sang personally came and even lowered his requirements, but the Ninth Prince had already found a beast tamer? At this moment, Liang Sang wasn''t able to accept it. If he had known it was going to turn out like this, he would''ve just agreed back then.


    An elder next to Liang Sang spoke, "May I ask; who is the Ninth Prince''s beast tamer?"


    Liang Sang came from Sky Pond City, and this elder was the City Lord of Sky Pond City. He had the title of Marquis, and Sky Pond City hadn''t chosen which prince they wanted to support yet because of Liang Sang. Once Liang Sang supported a prince, Sky Pond City would follow them and reap more rewards.


    Liang Sang''s eyes lit up. If he knew the name of the beast tamer, he could challenge him in the fight for spots later.


    Coincidentally, Zhao Feng walked out at this instant. The old butler didn''t say anything but glanced toward Zhao Feng.


    "I am that beast tamer," Zhao Feng said.


    He had heard some things about the battle for spots. At the moment, the Ninth Prince hadn''t given Zhao Feng a specific position yet, but he felt that being the beast tamer wasn''t bad. This could prevent him from having to reveal his strength and allow him to inspect everyone else from the sidelines first.


    "May I ask what your title is?" Liang Sang was surprised but didn''t show it on his face. He had never heard of such a young Grandmaster Beast Tamer with golden hair and a golden eye.


    "Zhao Feng."


    Liang Sang paused for a moment before laughing coldly, "Zhao Feng?"


    The elder from Sky Pond City also furrowed his eyebrows.


    "Junior, you can''t just claim to be a Grandmaster Beast Tamer without any foundation." Liang Sang puffed out his chest, as if teaching his junior.


    No one didn''t know the rumors about Zhao Feng. Apparently, his eye-bloodline was the strongest, but even if it was biased toward the soul and could affect beasts, affecting and taming were two different matters. Furthermore, Zhao Feng was extremely young; how much beast taming experience did he have? These juniors thought too highly of themselves.


    "Why don''t we let our spiritual pets spar with one another? You can''t call yourself a Grandmaster Beast Tamer if you haven''t defeated a Grandmaster Beast Tamer before."


    Liang Sang was excited and used the title of Grandmaster Beast Tamer to pressure Zhao Feng. Although Liang Sang was a beast tamer, his fame was nowhere near Zhao Feng''s. Now was a great chance to use his forte and defeat the opponent. He could win the spot and some fame at the same time.


    "Sure. Then you can give your title of Grandmaster Beast Tamer to me." A smile formed on Zhao Feng''s face. Now was the time to use this Grandmaster Beast Tamer from Sky Pond City to make himself known. Then, it would be quiet when the fight for spots started.


    "Fine. If I win, then you give me your spot."


    Liang Sang was laughing in his heart. Young people were indeed rash.


    The two came to an agreement and started to walk toward the martial arts field of the Imperial Palace. The Sky Pond City Lord and Butler Qi immediately followed behind.


    The Imperial Palace restricted flying everywhere apart from the martial arts field.


    Many members and disciples of the imperial force would spar here, and some guards and servants that had enmity with one another would settle it out here. After a long time, there were always some bored imperials, guards, or servants here watching the fights for entertainment.


    There were two guards in the martial arts field right now fighting. They were both peak Sovereign Lords. One wore silver armor and held a long sword. The sword was surrounded by fire and summoned waves of hot air that increased the temperature of the entire martial arts field. The other guard wore golden armor and was covered in a layer of protection as he used his two fists and attacked steadily.


    "Zhao Feng, wait for a moment. That golden-armored guard will soon win," Liang Sang smiled and said.


    "He''s about to lose." Zhao Feng faintly shook his head.


    While it seemed as if the silver-armored male was at a disadvantage, his every attack used up a lot of True Yuan and radiated a lot of heat. He definitely had some sort of hidden card. Zhao Feng also sensed that there was a weird disturbance of True Yuan within the silver-armored male''s body, but the golden-armored male still hadn''t detected it; therefore, he would definitely lose.


    In the next instant, the silver-armored male released a surge of red flames and raised the long sword in his hand. A suction force suddenly appeared, and all the heat in the air started to condense together. The long sword instantly released a wave of scarlet-red that shot into the sky.


    Bam!


    The barrier around the golden-armored male was instantly broken, and he was sent flying as his chest turned black.


    "Exciting!"


    "Cheng Chuan wins and becomes the captain of the 3rd Guard Team!"


    "Hahahaha, he''s fine!" the silver-armored Cheng Chuan laughed.


    Liang Sang''s face was slightly red. He felt awkward, but he stepped into the martial arts field, and Zhao Feng followed behind him.


    "This one is Grandmaster Beast Tamer Liang Sang from Sky Pond City," Liang Sang introduced himself to the spectators.


    "Beast tamer?"


    "This will be exciting."


    "No beast tamer has fought here before."


    Everyone was interested in a fight between beast tamers.


    "My opponent is Zhao Feng of the Imperial Genius rankings, who currently holds the beast tamer position for the Ninth Prince in the battle to become Crown Prince." Liang Sang gave a faint smile and introduced Zhao Feng as well.


    "Zhao Feng? Could it be the Zhao Feng from the Divine Illusion Dimension?"


    "Zhao Feng of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo?"


    "Zhao Feng was recruited by the Ninth Prince!?"


    "Oh god, I didn''t think that Zhao Feng was also a beast tamer."


    The spectators started to discuss, while Liang Sang snickered in his heart; All this fame will be mine when I defeat you.

 922 Decline

    Chapter 922 - Decline


    Everyone had big reactions to the rumored Purple-Haired Demonic Duo. Furthermore, this was a battle between beast tamers, so there were more and more people being attracted.


    "The bet between Zhao Feng and I is for the title of Grandmaster Beast Tamer and the position of the Ninth Prince''s beast tamer in the battle to become Crown Prince." Liang Sang smiled and looked toward Zhao Feng.


    While his words seemed like he was scared of Zhao Feng reneging on his bet, it was actually to attract even more attention. The words "Grandmaster Beast Master" and "battle for Crown Prince" would create a lot of discussion.


    "Good! This match will be interesting."


    "Both sides will give it their full strength for such a bet."


    "Quick, call everyone else over!"


    "Grandmaster Beast Tamer Liang Sang, can we start?" Zhao Feng asked somewhat impatiently. This guy was acting as if he was in a show.


    "Sure." Liang Sang''s expression suddenly changed, and he opened a spiritual pet bag.


    A green armored lizard that was a couple dozen meters long landed on the ground. It had one green crystal-like glittering horn.


    Roar~~


    The green lizard roared and unleashed the aura of a Peak-tier King. Some of the spectators who had low cultivation felt their hearts shake, and they almost fell on the ground.


    Everyone that was watching took a step back. Even though there was the protection of providence, no one dared to go too close to a battle between Peak-tier Kings.


    The green lizard was like a small mountain as it glared cruelly down at Zhao Feng.


    "This is a rare beast that I tamed in a swamp in the face of danger. It''s called a Crystal Horn Lizard, and it has reached the level of a Peak-tier King, but its battle-power has reached the level of an Emperor." Liang Sang smugly introduced the Crystal Horn Lizard. Its defense and offense were both top-tier. The only weakness was that it wasn''t agile enough.


    Beast tamers didn''t just need to subdue beasts, they also needed to make them listen to their commands and fight for them. Utilizing the intelligence of humans would fully unleash the potential of a beast''s battle-power.


    "What a unique lizard!"


    "As expected of a rare beast. Just its looks tell us that it''s not simple."


    "I heard that lizards are considered descendants of dragons, so they''re definitely one of the top species."


    Zhao Feng glanced at it. There were many rare beasts in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Zhao Feng waved his left hand.


    Weng~~


    A flashing five-colored bee the size of a fist flew out. The difference in size between it and the Crystal Horn Lizard was like Heaven and Earth.


    "So pretty. What kind of beast is it?"


    "Its aura is so weak. It''s just a normal King."


    "The difference between this and Grandmaster Liang Sang''s Crystal Horn Lizard is way too big."


    Those present weren''t able to recognize this small and colorful beast, but as a fellow beast, the Crystal Horn Lizard''s eyes bulged, and it started to tremble. It instinctively felt wary of the Five Poison Distinct Bee.


    "This is¡­?" Liang Sang''s eyes also looked at the small bee, and his expression changed dramatically, but it was too late.


    Weng~~ Weng~~


    The large body of the Crystal Horn Lizard suddenly became its weakness. It moved slowly and was caught by the Five Poison Distinct Bee, which stabbed its tail into the lizard and self-destructed.


    Boom!


    After the smoke faded, a large black hole was revealed in the Crystal Horn Lizard''s stomach, and black blood kept flowing out.


    Liang Sang''s face was filled with anger and shock. He immediately called back the Crystal Horn Lizard and started to put some medicine on it. Luckily, the Crystal Horn Lizard was very big, so the injury didn''t take up a large portion, otherwise he would have lost a rare beast already.


    Liang Sang didn''t expect Zhao Feng to have a Five Poison Distinct Bee. The bloodline of this ancient rare insect was close to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. No wonder Zhao Feng wasn''t scared; these ancient rare insects didn''t even need to a beast tamer to control them. The Five Poison Distinct Bees could just bum rush the enemy and self-destruct.


    This brat definitely has more Five Distinct Poison Bees. Liang Sang gritted his teeth as he revealed a jealous expression, and discussion broke out. That weak little bee was incredibly strong and made the fierce Crystal Horn Lizard instantly lose its battle-power.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s see how many more Five Poison Distinct Bees you have." Liang Sang revealed a pained expression as he opened another spiritual pet bag, and a dark green giant turtle landed onto the martial arts field.


    The giant turtle had thick armor and skin. It was extremely large, and the instant it appeared, a barrier of water surrounded it.


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly. This beast perfectly countered the Five Poison Distinct Bees.


    "Little thieving cat."


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped out of the Misty Spatial World and shook his head, saying that it was a hidden card and couldn''t reveal itself, so it heavily recommended its little friend, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    Zhao Feng was speechless. The little thieving cat''s display was proof that he wasn''t a good beast tamer.


    "If that''s the case, then let''s just decide the victor straight away." Zhao Feng''s expression became grim. Even if the little thieving cat won against the turtle, Liang Sang would probably just take out even more spiritual pets and prolong the fight with Zhao Feng, and since Zhao Feng wasn''t actually a professional beast tamer, he didn''t carry many spiritual pets around with him.


    "Hmm?" Liang Sang was surprised and felt that something was amiss. What did Zhao Feng mean by that?


    Zhao Feng waved his left hand, and a chubby jade-like silkworm appeared in the air.


    Boom~~~~


    The entire martial arts field fell silent as a terrifying aura of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races shook the spectators'' hearts, and everyone immediately retreated dozens of yards. Their faces went white, and their breathing stopped.


    The dark green giant turtle shook, and the bloodline within its body trembled in fear as it looked at the little silkworm in disbelief. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly opened its jade-like eyes and looked at the dark green giant turtle.


    Hu~~


    The giant turtle yelled in fear and immediately stuck its head into its shell. Its shell kept on shaking on the ground and created an earthquake.


    Liang Sang''s mouth fell wide open; "Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!"


    Even though he was far away, he could feel the aura of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. It had reached the level of an Emperor, but since it was an original species of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, its true strength could even affect Sacred Lords. All beasts that weren''t from the ancient era would be suppressed by an entire cultivation level by it. This meant that his rare Peak-tier King beast was only an early-stage King against it.


    Liang Sang would only be able to fight back against the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly if he took out a rare Sacred Lord rank beast.


    Liang Sang took back the giant turtle and looked at Zhao Feng with envy and jealousy, but he could do nothing. No matter what he took out, he wouldn''t be able to win. His spiritual pets didn''t even dare to look at the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly directly.


    Why did Zhao Feng have rare Five Poison Distinct Bees? Why did he even have something from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races? All of this was unfair in his mind, but Liang Sang didn''t consider the fact that, even if he was able to meet a species from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, he wouldn''t be able to tame it.


    "This one admits defeat."


    Whoosh!


    Seeing Liang Sang admit defeat, Zhao Feng took back the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    Some of the spectators were still in shock from the pressure of that ancient aura. They hadn''t even seen what kind of spiritual pet Zhao Feng took out, and the fierce battle they were looking forward to didn''t happen.


    Grandmaster Liang Sang admitted defeat in this fight. Liang Sang quickly left the field and had no face, so he left with the Sky Pond City Lord.


    Butler Qi arrived at this moment with a smile, "As expected of Young Master Zhao. Your beast taming skills far exceed the level of a Grandmaster."


    Butler Qi felt a bit diffident because he didn''t really want them to fight, but since he wanted to see Zhao Feng''s beast taming skills, he didn''t stop them. Now that he saw it, how could Zhao Feng''s beast taming abilities be bad if he could even control a species from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races?


    "Good, very exciting!" A laugh suddenly sounded across the entire martial arts field, and a bulky male in golden dragon-robes walked out. He had a strong air of providence around him. Next to him was a youth in white.


    "His Highness the Fourth Prince!"


    "Fourth Prince."


    Some of the spectating imperial members bowed while the servants and guards went down on one knee. The entire field went quiet, and Zhao Feng''s heart jumped. In the reports, the Fourth Prince was ranked the strongest in forces supporting him and in terms of individual strength as well.


    "Zhao Feng, long time no see." Next to the Fourth Prince, Zhuge Yun gave a faint smile as spoke.


    "Zhuge Yun?"


    From the looks of it, Sky Suspension Palace was standing behind the Fourth Prince''s back.


    Zhuge Yun was a strategist who directed the group from Sky Suspension Palace in the Divine Illusion Dimension. He was only below that of Xuanyuan Wen.


    The Great Gan Lord Dynasty only had two four-star powers: Sky Suspension Palace and the Grand Imperial Hall. Since the Grand Imperial Hall was the host of the battle for Crown Prince, they didn''t participate.


    "I heard Brother Zhuge and Xin Wuheng talk about you. Seeing you has indeed opened my eyes," the Fourth Prince looked at Zhao Feng with twinkling eyes and said.


    "You''re overestimating me. Fourth Prince is also powerful and unique."


    Zhao Feng''s left eye flashed. The Fourth Prince had reached the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord and could break through at any moment. His true battle-power was probably comparable to Sacred Lords, and he was indeed several times stronger than the other princes.


    "I have one spot left for a beast tamer in my group. Is Brother Zhao Feng willing to help me?" The Fourth Prince looked at Zhao Feng with honest eyes.


    Everyone was dead-silent. Being the strongest prince actually going for the position of Crown Prince, his group was filled with countless experts. How could he possibly have an empty space?


    How glorious would it be to be recruited by the Fourth Prince himself? Everyone was instantly envious of Zhao Feng, and Liang Sang, who was not far away, had the urge to hit his head against a wall and kill himself. He never expected that the Fourth Prince would have seen his fight with Zhao Feng.


    He felt like he had just performed a show with Zhao Feng specifically to let the Fourth Prince pick Zhao Feng and give him his invitation. This was something that he didn''t even dare dream of.


    Next to Zhao Feng, Butler Qi''s breathing rate increased. He felt regretful, but he didn''t dare speak.


    Most people wouldn''t be able to reject this temptation. The Fourth Prince''s overall strength was ranked 1st, and he was the most likely to become the Crown Prince. Once a prince became the Crown Prince, then all the members that supported him would be rewarded and given territories. They would receive a large amount of lord dynasty providence, and they could even join the Grand Imperial Hall in the future.


    "I''m sorry, but I''m already a member of the Ninth Prince''s group." Zhao Feng smiled and declined the offer.


    He didn''t really care about receiving a title or providence. Everything was unrelated to him as long as the Thirteenth Prince didn''t become the Crown Prince. Besides, Zhao Feng wouldn''t betray his friends.


    Hu~~


    Everyone''s breathing rate quickened. Zhao Feng actually declined the offer.

 923 Storm

    Chapter 923 - Storm


    Those present couldn''t believe their ears. Zhao Feng declined so decisively. The Fourth Prince was the most likely to become Crown Prince, but Zhao Feng declined him and was instead going to help the Ninth Prince, who was only ranked 6th. What was he thinking?


    Even the Fourth Prince was surprised. He thought that Zhao Feng would at least hesitate. Furthermore, the reason Zhao Feng declined him was simple, and it was something that made others admire him. Betrayal was something that everyone hated. Were they going to made Zhao Feng a traitor?


    Zhuge Yun felt slightly regretful. He was looking forward to working with Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng was willing to join the Fourth Prince''s side, then the Fourth Prince''s group would become even stronger than it already was. Furthermore, the current golden-haired Zhao Feng gave him an unfathomable feeling. He couldn''t help but remember the power of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Cold sweat dripped from Butler Qi''s forehead, and he felt lucky that Zhao Feng declined, otherwise he would have caused a disaster. Butler Qi looked at Zhao Feng''s calm expression, and his perspective of Zhao Feng changed for the first time.


    Liang Sang almost fell over.


    "That brat actually declined?" Liang Sang almost went crazy. The heavens had given him such a chance, but he actually declined.


    "Liang Sang, let''s go and make some preparations. Let''s see if we can get a spot from any of the other princes." The Sky Pond City Lord sighed. They had missed their chance and could only depend on luck now.


    "Zhao Feng, I await seeing you in the Imperial Tombs." The Fourth Prince radiated a force as if he was challenging someone.


    Zhao Feng gave a faint smile and put his hands together, but he didn''t speak.


    The Fourth Prince then led Zhuge Yun and left the martial arts field.


    "Your Highness, Zhao Feng is extremely talented," Zhuge Yun said in a low tone.


    "I know."


    The Fourth Prince had a grim expression. How many Grandmaster Beast Tamers could control a species from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races? If his guesses were correct, that Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly should be his Thirteenth Uncle''s.


    Apparently, his Thirteenth Uncle treasured this Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, but it had fallen into a deep sleep and was about to die, and yet it was extremely alive and right in front of him. From this, one could see how capable Zhao Feng was.


    Furthermore, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s supportive abilities were extremely shocking. There were many rare beasts of different eras in the Imperial Tombs, and a talented beast tamer would be extremely useful since they could control a group of super strong beasts.


    "Zhao Feng won''t help me unless younger brother Ninth Prince gives up on the battle for Crown Prince."


    The Fourth Prince had clear eyes. If Zhao Feng helped him, then his chances of winning would increase a bit more, but if Zhao Feng helped the Ninth Prince, the latter still wouldn''t pose much of a threat.


    "Thirteenth Uncle?" The Fourth Prince saw Duke Nanfeng quickly arriving.


    "Your Highness Fourth Prince, was that Zhao Feng at the front?"


    The Fourth Prince faintly nodded his head. He originally wanted to talk with his Thirteenth Uncle, but seeing that the latter was in a hurry, he didn''t say anything and just watched as Duke Nanfeng left.


    After Duke Nanfeng became a Sacred Lord two years ago, his territory expanded, and it wasn''t impossible for him to join the Grand Imperial Hall in the future.


    "Looks like Duke Nanfeng will very likely stand behind the Ninth Prince. The Seventh Prince will be extremely angry." Zhuge Yun gave a faint smile. After Duke Nanfeng returned to the Imperial Palace, he and the Seventh Prince had talked many times, but to no avail. From the looks of it, Duke Nanfeng was waiting for Zhao Feng.


    "Duke Nanfeng." Zhao Feng had a joyful expression. Ever since coming here, Duke Nanfeng could be said to be the only person he was familiar with.


    "My Duke, please come have a seat in the Ninth Prince''s palace. Discuss anything you want there," Butler Qi immediately followed behind and said in a respectful tone.


    Under Butler Qi''s guidance, Zhao Feng and Duke Nanfeng arrived at the Ninth Prince''s palace.


    Duke Nanfeng looked warmly at the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. If it wasn''t for Zhao Feng, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly would still be in deep sleep right now, and perhaps it never would''ve woken up. He also wouldn''t have been able to become a Sacred Lord.


    "Congratulations on becoming a Sacred Lord." Zhao Feng smiled and put his hands together.


    "It''s all thanks to your Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. Oh yeah, Zhao Feng, what''s with your eye?" Duke Nanfeng gave a faint smile as he asked. He had a deep impression of Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline.


    "It evolved."


    "Evolved?" Duke Nanfeng was extremely surprised. Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline was extremely strong, so an evolution would only make it even more unfathomable.


    No wonder he wasn''t able to see through Zhao Feng even after becoming a Sacred Lord. He didn''t even dare to look at the golden eye. While Duke Nanfeng was interested in Zhao Feng''s left eye, he didn''t ask too much about it.


    "Why are you helping the Ninth Prince?" Duke Nanfeng was slightly puzzled. This was the main reason he was here.


    He didn''t think well of the Ninth Prince''s chances, but since they were in his palace right now, he didn''t want to say that the Ninth Prince was at a very big disadvantage. Duke Nanfeng even mentioned that, if Zhao Feng was willing, he could help him gain a spot in the groups of the Thirteenth Prince, the Seventh Prince, or some other princes. He didn''t know that Zhao Feng just declined the Fourth Prince a moment ago.


    "It was a coincidence. I wanted to participate in the battle for Crown Prince, and the Ninth Prince wasn''t very far away from me." Zhao Feng thought about it and didn''t know how to reply. He couldn''t exactly say that he only joined because he wanted to kill the Thirteenth Prince, not to mention that they were right in the Imperial Palace right now.


    Hearing that, Duke Nanfeng almost spat out the tea that he just drank. If he didn''t know Zhao Feng well, he would think that Zhao Feng was toying with him.


    "Zhao Feng, you look at everything with such a casual perspective." This was the only thing that Duke Nanfeng could say. If it was someone else, they would be trying to obtain as many benefits as possible.


    Their conversation became much smoother after that. Most of it was Duke Nanfeng introducing the situation of the Imperial Palace and the situations of the other princes to Zhao Feng. The little thieving cat and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly were talking about something on the side.


    "Duke, I''ll be entering seclusion in a while. If there''s news from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion or the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan during that time, tell them to join the Ninth Prince''s side."


    There was one year left, and Zhao Feng needed to enter seclusion to become stronger.


    Even if the Ocean Smoke Pavilion made some progress, it used to be just a subordinate force for Nine Darkness Palace, so it would be crushed by a peak three-star power. Therefore, it was more likely for Bi Qingyue to go under the banner of the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, but that still couldn''t guarantee their safety.


    Duke Nanfeng thought for a moment before patting his chest; "Don''t worry. I''ll be going now."


    Zhao Feng entered seclusion after Duke Nanfeng left. After hearing about the situation from Duke Nanfeng, Zhao Feng felt that it wasn''t impossible for the Ninth Prince to win.


    Within the Misty Spatial World:


    "I can finally use the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey now."


    Zhao Feng was slightly impatient. This was the first time he was going to use the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. At the same time, he split his mind into several thoughts and started to multi-task.


    The first focused on comprehending the Domain of Wind Lightning. If it was possible, Zhao Feng was planning to form his Little World before entering the battle for Crown Prince. Most people that were entering the Imperial Tombs had the battle-power of an Emperor at the least, and forming a Little World would be the fast way to increase Zhao Feng''s battle-power.


    The second thought focused on comprehending the Fire of Wind Lightning and merging the God Tribulation Lightning from his Soul Body into the Fire of Wind Lightning.


    Zhao Feng focused on the quality of his True Yuan, not quantity. According to Duke Nanfeng, increasing cultivation in a hurry was bad.


    The other parts of his Divine Sense directed the power of God Tribulation Lightning to refine his soul and analyze the structure of atoms.


    Zhao Feng cautiously used one portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey and felt a sacred and holy aura seep into his body, moving throughout his organs and limbs until it reached the depths of his soul. Zhao Feng felt as if his entire body had been blessed by the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey and that he had ascended for a short amount of time.


    Maybe because of the Sacred Lightning Body, the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey spread throughout his entire body and was slowly absorbed.


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and instantly became taller. Blue and golden light surrounded him, and arcs of lightning occasionally flashed around him. After using the Sacred Lightning Body, his rate of absorbing the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey doubled, and most of it was used on refining his body.


    Boom! Boom!


    At the same time, Zhao Feng formed another thought that circulated the Fire of Wind Lightning to refine the Sacred Lightning Body and absorb the energy to the maximum degree.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng''s body shook as it released a glow of lightning, and his aura increased.


    "Looks like I still underestimated the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey."


    A light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes. He had only absorbed 60% of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, and his Sacred Lightning Body successfully broke through to the peak 5th level. He immediately tried to stop his body from absorbing the energy.


    Hu~~


    Faint purple bolts of lightning appeared around Zhao Feng''s entire body as he released his Soul Intent.


    "Since there''s still energy remaining, I can use it to refine my Soul Body."


    Zhao Feng had always ignored the God Tribulation Lightning Soul Body mainly because he didn''t understand it enough, but when he knew more about the use of the God Tribulation Lightning Soul Body, he would be able to dig out its potential.


    Another couple days later, Zhao Feng''s soul had completely absorbed the leftover Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. His soul was even more condensed than before, and it wasn''t transparent anymore.


    Faint arcs of God Tribulation Lightning blinked across the surface, and after being cleansed by the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, Zhao Feng felt that his God Tribulation Lightning Soul Body had a different feeling from before, but he couldn''t quite describe what it was.


    "My Sacred Lightning Body has reached the limit of the 5th level. Let''s go test it out in the Ancient Dream Realm."


    Zhao Feng''s heart moved. He hadn''t entered the Ancient Dream Realm in a long time.


    The mysterious golden ball had replaced the blue lake, and there was also a golden whirlpool when Zhao Feng put his consciousness into it.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng appeared in the forest where the Yao bird and giant snake guarded the tree. However, Zhao Feng felt that something was amiss the instant he appeared here. A terrifying pressure and ancient aura made his bloodline and True Yuan tremble, and this was still under the basis that Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body had greatly improved. What was going on?


    "Is this¡­ a storm?"


    Zhao Feng looked around and saw that the sky was dark. Arcs of lightning flashed everywhere as a storm ravaged the area. The pressure was extremely strong, and the rain created loud crackles when it landed on Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    A bolt of lightning shot down. It was like a god descending to Earth.


    Zhao Feng''s soul was extremely pressured as he stood there. This bolt of lightning made Zhao Feng''s body shake, and he became dazed as a boom of thunder resounded throughout his mind. Even a Sacred Lord would turn into ashes if they were hit by that bolt of lightning.


    "Is this a storm of the ancient era!?" Zhao Feng exclaimed after a long time.

 924 Power of Ancient Lightning

    Chapter 924 - Power of Ancient Lightning


    "Is this a storm of the ancient era!?" Zhao Feng exclaimed after a long time.


    The clouds in the sky were like dark dragons, and the lightning was like scales. There were countless bolts and arcs, and each bolt of lightning that descended was like a giant fang that suppressed all living beings.


    Zhao Feng never expected that nature could be so powerful, and he felt respectful toward its power. He could clearly feel how weak and small he was in comparison.


    Zhao Feng used lightning to refine his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, but he didn''t dare to absorb the ancient lightning from the Ancient Dream Realm. From what he saw just now, even Sacred Lords would be instantly killed by that bolt of lightning.


    Zhao Feng didn''t even dare to absorb the remnant aura of the ancient lightning. To a certain degree, his Sacred Lightning Body was a conductor, so if Zhao Feng stood here and tried to absorb the remnant aura of the ancient lightning, the next bolt might go right for him.


    "Such powerful lightning¡­ what a shame."


    Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. He cultivated a supreme technique that allowed one to refine their body using lightning, but he didn''t dare to absorb any of this lightning.


    However, staying here and comprehending the aura of Wind Lightning from the ancient era was beneficial for Zhao Feng. The Wind Lightning here allowed Zhao Feng to touch the power of laws, and Zhao Feng could store some of the stray Lightning aura that happened to pass over him.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng''s left eye managed to disintegrate a wisp of ancient lightning. It had a complicated structure, but it was similar to the lightning from Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body. Zhao Feng even felt like the lightning that he cultivated was a simplified version of this ancient lightning.


    Boom!


    Another bolt of lightning fell down not far away from Zhao Feng. The earth shook, countless trees were destroyed, and many powerful Yao beasts roared. The aura of ancient lightning swept over and even numbed Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body.


    "I can''t circulate my Sacred Lightning Body to absorb the lightning, but I can store it and take it back."


    A light flashed in Zhao Feng''s eyes as he looked toward the area where the lightning fell, and he was stunned. The God Tribulation head inside the dimension of his left eye was something that could store God Tribulation Lightning, but there was only abound 20% of it remaining. It would soon be completely used up. Zhao Feng had never found anything else that could store powerful lightning.


    While the strength of the ancient lightning wasn''t quite as strong as the God Tribulation Lightning, it was purer, so it was a great source of lightning to refine the Sacred Lightning Body and his Soul Body.


    Zhao Feng thought about what level his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body would reach if he transformed the lightning within his body into ancient lightning. Zhao Feng''s heart moved, and he walked toward where the bolt of lightning just hit.


    He met some normal wild beasts on the way and easily finished them. Zhao Feng soon arrived where the bolt of lightning had struck.


    The place was scorched black, and there was a deep hole in the ground. Many trees nearby were still burning, and the aura of lightning spread onto him when he got close.


    Zhao Feng approached a black piece of wood and found that the aura of lightning within it was extremely weak and fading away.


    "I''ve calculated wrongly. The trees here aren''t qualified to store the power of ancient lightning."


    Zhao Feng sighed, but he didn''t give up and continued his search.


    "Hmm? The material of this tree is slightly different and contains more power of ancient lightning than the others."


    Zhao Feng revealed a surprised expression as he looked at the tree in front of him. Although it was also black, the inner portion of it was relatively complete, and small wisps of lightning appeared on its surface.


    Without saying anything else, Zhao Feng immediately put this black tree into the Misty Spatial World. He then found a similar tree, as well as some other pieces of wood that also contained the power of lightning.


    Zhao Feng went over the place several times to make sure he didn''t overlook anything. He waited for a long time, but no more lightning fell.


    After all, the range of this storm was just too big, and he couldn''t even see the end.


    If the lightning fell too far away from Zhao Feng, he wouldn''t dare to go there because the Ancient Dream Realm was several dozen times more dangerous than the Divine Illusion Dimension. Zhao Feng had used a long time just to get those few pieces of wood alone.


    The next instant, Zhao Feng returned to the Imperial Palace and entered the Misty Spatial World.


    "Let''s try the power of ancient lightning." Zhao Feng impatiently circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and moved a piece of black wood into the air with a thought. He then created a tentacle with his Fire of Wind Lightning and made it touch the piece of black wood.


    Crackle!


    The two types of lightning instantly attracted one another. A wisp of pure white lightning was directed from the black wood and wrapped itself around the Fire of Wind Lightning. Wisps of ancient lightning then slowly moved to Zhao Feng''s body as the Fire of Wind Lightning faded away.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body released a glow of bright lightning. He then circulated the technique in an attempt to slowly merge this ancient lightning into his Sacred Lightning Body.


    The ancient lightning didn''t conflict with the lightning in his body. Zhao Feng even found that the lightning within his body seemed to follow the ancient lightning around.


    By increasing the power of Lightning in his body, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body would be able to withstand even stronger lightning in the future. At the same time, it would increase the Sacred Lightning Body''s rate of progress. The defense and strength of reflection of his Sacred Lightning Protection would also get stronger as the power of lightning increased.


    Zhao Feng spent half a day to merge the ancient lightning within the black wood into his Sacred Lightning Body.


    "Let''s try merging the power of ancient lightning into my True Yuan."


    Zhao Feng had a thought. The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was also based on Wind Lightning, and the True Yuan dimension ¨C which contained his Fire of Wind Lightning ¨C also had the power of God Tribulation Lightning. However, the God Tribulation Lightning didn''t merge with the normal lightning and instead existed as a separate identity.


    Like before, Zhao Feng first directed the ancient lightning into his Fire of Wind Lightning to increase the strength of his offense.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng slowly directed the Fire of Wind Lightning, which now contained the ancient lightning, into his True Yuan dimension. The power of ancient lightning didn''t act the way it did with the Sacred Lightning Body; it merged into his True Yuan dimension when he circulated the Fire of Wind Lightning until it completely disappeared.


    Zhao Feng could feel the element of Lightning within the Fire of Wind Lightning become a tiny bit stronger. Through the analysis of his left eye, Zhao Feng found that the structure of the atoms within the Fire of Wind Lightning had become a little bit different. The number of atoms within each structure had increased.


    "Looks like my theory can be realized. I can indeed turn the power of lightning within my True Yuan into ancient lightning."


    Zhao Feng''s heart moved. If he was able to harness the ancient lightning, then he might be able to fight back against the Little World of Sacred Lords with his peak 5th level Sacred Lightning Body.


    However, in order to do this, Zhao Feng would need to find more items that could store the ancient lightning since he hardly had any of the stuff. Therefore, Zhao Feng could only convert his Fire of Wind Lightning for now. The trees weren''t exactly good storage items, and the power of ancient lightning were fading away.


    "I need to manage my time well. The longer I take, the faster the ancient lightning fades away."


    Zhao Feng had an urgent expression. He couldn''t guarantee that he would find more items in the Ancient Dream Realm that could store the ancient lightning.


    Several days later, Zhao Feng had merged most of the ancient lightning into the True Yuan dimension where his Fire of Wind Lightning was stored. At this moment in time, his Fire of Wind Lightning contained an original and ancient aura that made his power of lightning purer. At the same time, the power of ancient lightning had purified Zhao Feng''s Fire of Wind Lightning and completely consolidated it at the early stages.


    The surging Fire of Wind Lightning made the surrounding area of the Misty Spatial World become chaotic and slightly unstable.


    Zhao Feng could also merge the Fire of Wind Lightning with the Blood Devil Sun bloodline and create Scarlet Lightning Blood Flames, which contained extreme explosiveness and power. If he added the God Tribulation Lightning into it as well, then it would be enough to threaten Sacred Lords.


    Zhao Feng had a joyful expression and couldn''t contain his anticipation to test it. He remembered how his Scarlet Lightning Blood Flames were pushed aside by the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s Mystic Light Sacred power before they even got close, but now it would be different.


    "En, I''ve succeeded in forming my Domain of Wind Lightning."


    Zhao Feng sensed something and had a thought. While he had been cultivating the power of ancient lightning in the past couple days, he had split his Divine Sense and was focused on forming his Domain of Wind Lightning as well.


    "Can I merge the power of ancient lightning with the Domain of Wind Lightning in order to make it stronger?" Zhao Feng suddenly had this thought. He didn''t have much ancient lightning storage items, so he had to make a decision quickly.


    The idea was quickly rejected by him. He originally wanted to create a Little World from either the Illusion Maze Domain or the Domain of Wind Lightning. If he wanted to implement this idea, then it would be better to just create the Wind Lightning Little World and merge the ancient lightning into that.


    "I''ll put it aside for now and think about which domain to choose first."


    Zhao Feng had a lot of information regarding Little Worlds. Little Worlds were formed from a source of power and could materialize mental energy.


    He had fought with countless Emperors and was familiar with the power of Little Worlds as well. Nan Gongsheng''s evil Little World and the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord''s Sacred-Lord-level Little World gave him the deepest impression and made him desire the power of a Little World, but he had to think it through properly and choose the most suitable source.


    "The evolution and new ability of the left eye doesn''t belong to the mental energy side of things, and I''ve been comprehending a lot about Wind Lightning recently. I even have items that store ancient lightning, and¡­"


    Zhao Feng revealed a stunned expression while he was thinking. He suddenly realized that this was a perfect chance to form his Little World of Wind Lightning right now.


    The storm within the Ancient Dream Realm! While he didn''t dare to circulate his Sacred Lightning Body and absorb the power of ancient lightning into his body, what if he replicated the storm within the Ancient Dream Realm to form his Little World of Wind Lightning?


    A storm-like Little World.


    "There''s some danger involved."


    Zhao Feng had a calm gaze. The ancient lightning wasn''t a joke, but the actual danger involved was quite low. Zhao Feng could copy the images of the Ancient Dream Realm into the dimension of his left eye and use them in the future.


    "Let''s go give it a try."


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the dimension of his left eye with a solemn expression. The next instant, Zhao Feng appeared in a replay of the scenery in the Ancient Dream Realm where the sky was dark and a storm ravaged across Heaven and Earth.

 925 Resistance

    Chapter 925 - Resistance


    The left eye allowed Zhao Feng to replay scenes. It was similar to an illusion, but it gave Zhao Feng the feeling that it was real. Furthermore, this ability had improved after the left eye evolved.


    The feeling of the scenery in the Ancient Dream Realm was the same as when he entered the Ancient Dream Realm itself. A storm still covered the sky.


    Zhao Feng sat down and released his Domain of Wind Lightning so that it covered the entire scene. As time passed, Zhao Feng used the ability of his left eye to try to sync the Domain of Wind Lightning with the storm.


    Whatever happened in the Ancient Dream Realm, he would replicate it here.


    "This is doable."


    Zhao Feng started to analyze what would happen while replicating it at the same time.


    This was a Little World of Wind Lightning based off his Crystal Core. If it was doable here, then he could try test it out in the actual Ancient Dream Realm, and if there was any danger at all, he could come directly back.


    Zhao Feng called back his Domain of Wind Lightning and merged his consciousness into the golden ball. The next instant, he appeared in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "The weather?" Zhao Feng''s expression changed, and he felt regretful.


    The weather of the Ancient Dream Realm had returned to normal, and there were no signs of a storm anywhere. He had focused too much on cultivating and forgot about time.


    He could only wait for the next time it came, but luckily, he managed to replicate part of the scenery of the scene, and he had used his golden eye to analyze and see the faint changes in structure of the storm''s atoms. On top of that, he also had items that stored the ancient lightning.


    "Why don''t I create the Little World inside the Ancient Dream Realm?"


    Zhao Feng thought for a while. The place he was currently located was relatively safe, and he had the python and bird guarding him. Creating a Little World within the Misty Spatial World would affect it quite a bit.


    Zhao Feng could use the Ancient Dream Realm to create the basic structure of his Little World, then merge the Domain of Wind Lightning into it later. This would most likely be easier to do.


    After confirming his idea Zhao Feng sat down.


    Ever since he started re-cultivating, Zhao Feng had absorbed a lot of Ancient Dream Realm aura into his body and eaten many fruits from the Ancient Dream Realm. He was able to stay in the Ancient Dream Realm for a very long time now with his current cultivation and physical body. Little Worlds couldn''t be easily formed; they required a lot of time and effort. However, Zhao Feng had his left eye, which would greatly help him form a Little World.


    He had also thought about the fact that, if he could disintegrate physical items into countless atoms, would he be able to manipulate countless atoms and return something to its original form? Destroying an item was relatively simple, but returning it to its original shape was extremely complex. If Zhao Feng was able to do this, he could most likely create a real world.


    Of course, those were just some random thoughts. He didn''t even know where to start with that. Zhao Feng was still immersed in creating his Little World.


    In a place somewhere else on the continent, four figures stood in front of a mountain. These four figures were covered in black and radiated a magnificent Demonic Dao power that blotted out the sky and sun. One of them was a charming female covered in purple and black lotus flames. She gave off an aura that made the other three peak Emperors nearby not dare to breathe, and she even started to burn the air with her demonic power.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Lotus, Nan Gongsheng is inside," an Emperor next to the charming female said respectfully.


    Nan Gongsheng wasn''t someone that mere Emperors could stop. Nine Darkness Palace had already lost four unrivalled Emperors before this. However, Nan Gongsheng seemed to be able to sense danger and would retreat every time a Sacred Lord arrived. He also specialized in the Dao of Space, meaning that normal Emperors weren''t even able to stall him if he wanted to run away, but he seemed to be in seclusion at the moment.


    "Junior with the power of the Evil God¡­ for you to offend Nine Darkness Palace, you really don''t care about your life, do you?"


    Sacred Lord Dark Lotus sat amidst purple and black flaming lotuses and used her Sacred Lord aura to lock down the entire mountain.


    "Nan Gongsheng, you won''t be able to escape this time even if you have wings!" an Emperor with one arm roared with a fierce gaze. He lost an arm to Nan Gongsheng when they tried to kill him last time, and there was a wicked power in the injury preventing it from being healed. Only a Sacred Lord that specialized in medicine would be able to heal it.


    Boom!


    Right as the members of Nine Darkness Palace were about to charge into the mountain, the entire mountain suddenly exploded, and a beam of purple-and-blood-colored light shot into the sky as a surge of evil power caused even Sacred Lord Dark Lotus to feel pressured.


    The three Emperors'' hearts shook, and they instinctively moved a couple steps back when they felt that they weren''t in control of their power.


    Hu~


    A wicked youth with purple-and-blood-colored hair landed in front of Sacred Lord Dark Lotus and company with a flash of silver. He had flower markings on his body that were the same color as his hair.


    The wicked purple-and-blood-colored light made the three Emperors present feel a strong pressure, and they lost control of the True Yuan within their body.


    "Hmph." Sacred Lord Dark Lotus snickered coldly as she used her Magnificent Power to block part of the aura that her subordinates were facing. She then inspected Nan Gongsheng.


    "Quasi-Sacred Lord!" Sacred Lord Dark Lotus was stunned. Nan Gongsheng had improved at an alarming rate while being pursued by Nine Darkness Palace.


    "Looks like you have been completely overtaken by the power of the Evil God." Sacred Lord Dark Lotus was confident that Nan Gongsheng had already lost his own identity and was being ruled by the power of the Evil God, which would be why he could improve at such a rapid rate.


    "Hehe." Nan Gongsheng laughed coldly with a calm and wicked expression.


    "The power of the Evil God isn''t something you can control."


    The purple-and-black flames around Sacred Lord Dark Lotus rose as she released the power of a Sacred Lord and charged toward Nan Gongsheng like a flaming purple lotus.


    At the same time, the three Emperors retreated. They didn''t dare to participate in a battle that involved a Sacred Lord. The three split up and made sure that Nan Gongsheng would be unable to run away.


    Nan Gongsheng laughed as he released a glow of purple and silver, and a large purple-and-blood-colored flower formed behind his back. Wicked light instantly started to flash from his skin, and a layer of silver-and-purple divine light covered him as he charged toward Sacred Lord Dark Lotus like a demon.


    Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng clashed against Sacred Lord Dark Lotus, and with the help of the purple-and-silver light, he actually managed to push aside the Mystic Light Sacred power of a Sacred Lord.


    Nan Gongsheng was like a roaring demon covered in silver-and-purple light as he charged right into the power of a Sacred Lord and ripped it apart.


    "What!?" Sacred Lord Dark Lotus'' expression changed. Although Nan Gongsheng was just a Quasi-Sacred Lord, the power he used was the same as her Mystic Light Sacred, but it was even stronger.


    "Lotus of the Dark Demon!"


    A black flaming lotus flew out from Sacred Lord Dark Lotus'' hand. It released a terrifying Demonic Dao Sacred power and twisted space as it flew toward Nan Gongsheng.


    "Hahaha!" Nan Gongsheng charged forward instead of retreating, and he laughed as the purple-and-silver light around him increased.


    "Evil Demon Claw!" Nan Gongsheng extended his right arm, and countless blood-red branches came out of the flower marking on his arm. They formed a giant demonic claw and ripped forward.


    Boom! Shu~~~


    The surge of evil power and the surge of demonic power clashed and caused a chaotic aura to explode. Black and red twisted together in the center of the explosion, destroying anything and everything.


    Nan Gongsheng was forced back a couple hundred yards and was covered in purple-and-blood-colored light, but he revealed a cold and wicked smile as if he was an ancient demon.


    Sacred Lord Dark Lotus also retreated several hundred yards and looked incredulously toward Nan Gongsheng as fresh blood dripped from her mouth.


    "Hmph!" Sacred Lord Dark Lotus harrumphed as purple and black demonic flames burned in her eyes: "Purple demonic brat, you''re courting death!"


    Limitless demonic flames ignited once more as everything within a thousand miles became filled with dark purple flames. Countless black lotuses burned, and it seemed like they could devour everything.


    "Projection of a Little World!"


    "Sacred Lord Dark Lotus has actually used the power of her Little World!"


    The three Emperors felt cold and unable to move. They were unable to breathe, and this was under the basis that Sacred Lord Dark Lotus'' Little World wasn''t even aimed at them.


    The projection of Sacred Lord Dark Lotus'' Little World started to spread, and Nan Gongsheng''s power was repelled by the countless laws of a world.


    "I won''t be playing with you today." Nan Gongsheng revealed an evil smile as a surge of purple-and-blood-colored divine light shot out from his back and clashed with Sacred Lord Dark Lotus'' Little World. The light actually managed to take over half of the Little World''s projection.


    Sacred Lord Dark Lotus'' expression instantly froze. Nan Gongsheng had also used the projection of a Little World. This meant that the power of his Little World had reached the level of a Sacred Lord and was able to exist within the real world.


    The power that his Little World displayed wasn''t weaker than Sacred Lord Dark Lotus'' Little World, and it released a terrifying aura that even surpassed the level of Sacred Lords.


    Nan Gongsheng spread the projection of his Little World and disappeared into the air with a flash of silver.


    Nan Gongsheng''s spatial talent suddenly became like a fish swimming in water within his own Little World. Even Sacred Lords weren''t able to break the projection of Little Worlds and could only watch on.


    "Arghh!"


    With a flash of silver, Nan Gongsheng appeared behind the Emperor with the missing arm and smashed a palm onto his head. A wicked Soul power instantly devoured his soul.


    "Nan Gongsheng, you¡­!" Sacred Lord Dark Lotus roared in anger, but Nan Gongsheng brought the projection of his Little World around with him and quickly flew away.


    The other two Emperors stood still as cold sweat drenched their bodies, and they felt their souls shake. Nan Gongsheng managed to run away after fighting against Sacred Lord Dark Lotus head-on and even killed a Demonic Dao Emperor as he escaped. He managed to reach such a level?


    Nan Gongsheng stopped after flying for ten thousand miles, and the voice of the Evil God Thought Body sounded in his body, "How is it? Even Sacred Lords can''t do anything to you now. You have surpassed Zhao Feng long ago."


    "Hmph. In the memory of that Emperor, I learned that Zhao Feng has already killed the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord of Nine Darkness Palace." Nan Gongsheng snickered coldly as his cold face turned grim.


    "How is that possible¡­!?" The Evil God Thought Body was extremely surprised.


    "Looks like I can''t slack off. I need to quickly merge with this power and control it."


    Nan Gongsheng''s purple-and-silver eyes were extremely decisive.

 926 Been Waiting For a Long Time

    Chapter 926 - Been Waiting for a Long Time


    In the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng used his Crystal Core as the foundation for his Little World, and the blurry outlines of it started to appear in reality. At the same time, the aura of the Ancient Dream Realm started to merge into it. It was almost as if it was created by the Ancient Dream Realm itself.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng''s left eye glittered, and a wave of golden light spread through the air.


    "My Little World currently only exists in a mental energy state, but it has bonded with the physical power within the Crystal Core."


    Zhao Feng''s left eye was able to see everything.


    At the same time, he knew why the objects within the Little World were different than reality. The objects of a Little World were created by the power of one''s foundation, and because most Emperors only cultivated a single element, the objects also only had one element.


    For example, Duanmu Qing was a Wood-elemental Sacred Lord, so his Little World was obviously based off the element of Wood. There was almost no element of Fire since it conflicted with his foundation.


    "My Crystal Core is different from others. My Little World will be more stable than others."


    Zhao Feng had a clear mind. Right now, his Crystal Core contained the elements of Wind, Lightning, Water, Wood, and Fire. Zhao Feng even thought about whether his Little World would fully materialize when he learned all five elements, but that was a bit far away from him right now. He had only cultivated up to the early stages of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique''s eighth level and was still very far away from reaching the peak.


    It was best to form the Little World of Wind Lightning first and perfect it as time passed.


    "It''s about time to merge the Domain of Wind Lightning into it."


    A layer of wind and lightning appeared around Zhao Feng and started to howl and crackle.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng controlled the Domain of Wind Lightning and made it change shape. With the precise control of his left eye, the Domain of Wind Lightning merged perfectly with the outline of the Little World.


    "Now all I need to do is consolidate it." Zhao Feng knew every step clearly.


    He needed to merge the Crystal Core dimension, the Domain of Wind Lightning, and the outline of the Little World together. This needed to happen in an orderly and steady manner.


    There was less than half a year remaining till the battle for Crown Prince, and the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was still making their way here because they were near the oceans.


    "Pavilion Master Bi, have we come a bit late?" Old Monster Xu smiled and asked.


    The Ocean Smoke Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had teamed up, and Supreme Emperor Dark Night was expanding the assassination organization. Even normal three-star powers didn''t want to offend them.


    Almost the entire area around the coast was now under the Ocean Smoke Pavilion''s control, and Earth Spirit Hall had done nothing. The information agency of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion had expanded too fast, and they were all extremely busy.


    "I believe that Master has already set down the path for us," Bi Qingyue said with certainty and a soft gaze.


    "Master left with Sacred Lord Duanmu. He must''ve joined the Duanmu Family and become part of the Thirteenth Prince''s force," Supreme Emperor Dark Night guessed.


    The engagement between Zhao Yufei and the Thirteenth Prince had been set for a long time, and even they knew about it despite the distance. Furthermore, the Thirteenth Prince''s forces were expanding even faster than the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    "I believe in Master''s eyes," Bi Qingyue said, and Supreme Emperor Dark Night had an awkward expression. Bi Qingyue relied too much on Zhao Feng, and she was willing to follow Zhao Feng despite the Dark Heart Seal. However, Supreme Emperor Dark Night was different; he still wanted to escape Zhao Feng''s control a hundred years later. He would still remain in the assassination organization and help Zhao Feng, but he didn''t want to stay a slave forever.


    "Although the Thirteenth Prince is young, he is favored by the Sacred Emperor and Empress. Adding on the fact that he has a strong force behind him, it is very likely that he''ll be able to win even against the Fourth Prince, who is currently the strongest," Old Monster Xu analyzed. If their master entered the Imperial Tombs and helped the Thirteenth Prince as well, the prince would have an even bigger chance of winning.


    "Right now, we are in the Gan Province, and we''re only one city away from the Great Gan Imperials." Bi Qingyue had a joyful expression. She would be able to meet her master soon.


    Apart from the three of them, there was also Zhan Jie''er, the black-robed Emperor from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and several Kings.


    A cold laughter suddenly sounded and passed through the physical and soul dimensions. It made everyone''s heart shake, and they immediately stopped moving.


    "All of you still want to go to the Great Gan Imperials? I''ve been waiting here for a long time."


    A figure in black robes and covered by darkness shot over like a black meteor. His Demonic pressure turned everything within a thousand miles dark, and the Kings immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly changed directions.


    The figure covered in darkness was like a Demonic Sovereign as they gazed down at the group from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    "May I ask who you are and why you are stopping us?" Old Monster Xu''s expression fell as he stood forward. It was obvious that this person was an enemy from their tone and aura.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night flashed out and blocked the Sacred Lord''s aura for the members behind him, otherwise Zhan Jie''er and the Kings would been suppressed to death by the aura alone.


    On the other hand, Bi Qingyue was shocked, "Nine Darkness Palace¡­ Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss!"


    "Hahaha, do I not have to right to take care of all of you since the Ocean Smoke Pavilion betrayed Nine Darkness Palace?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss laughed in an arrogant manner.


    Nine Darkness Palace?


    Everyone''s heart fell. Being a peak three-star power, Nine Darkness Palace was one of the strongest Demonic Dao forces, and they were an enormous monster compared to them. Even though the Ocean Smoke Pavilion had expanded very quickly, they were still unable to compare to this behemoth. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss in particular was an old Sacred Lord that was usually in seclusion, and his strength was unfathomable.


    "The Ocean Smoke Pavilion never belonged to Nine Darkness Palace in the first place." Bi Qingyue''s eyes were decisive.


    The Ocean Smoke Pavilion was now a three-star power, and it was even more stable than other normal three-star forces. They still had plenty of room to expand, and it currently had two Sacred Lords.


    They believed that Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss wouldn''t dare to attack them if they entered the city that housed the Imperial Palace. Bi Qingyue believed that whichever prince was supported by Zhao Feng would become the Crown Prince, and at that point, Nine Darkness Palace would have to think it through multiple times before taking action against the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    "Hmph, if I say it is, then it is." Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss snickered coldly as his gaze went cold, and his pressure increased dramatically. How dare a measly Emperor go against him? Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss felt rather dissatisfied by what Bi Qingyue said.


    "All of you retreat!" Old Monster Xu had a solemn expression. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was stronger than they first thought. Any random shockwave from a battle between Sacred Lords could kill normal Kings. Even Bi Qingyue, who had the strength of a peak Emperor, had to retreat.


    "A bunch of ants!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss gave a smile of mockery as he looked at the group from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. "Merely two beginning-stage Sacred Lords want to stop me?"


    The black light surrounding Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss suddenly expanded and shot through the air like two black tentacles. A chaotic Demonic Dao aura swept toward Supreme Emperor Dark Night and Old Monster Xu, making their hearts shake slightly.


    Just as the two sides were about to fight:


    Whoosh!


    A surge of bright Magnificent Power in the form of dragons appeared from afar and made countless beings bow down instinctively wherever it went.


    "Stop!" the voice of a powerful male descended.


    "Duke Nanfeng, what is the meaning of this? You want to meddle in my business?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss''s expression changed slightly as he looked at Duke Nanfeng, who was rushing over.


    "Duke Nanfeng!" The expressions of those from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion turned joyful. Zhao Feng and Duke Nanfeng had a good relationship, and they believed that Duke Nanfeng wouldn''t just do nothing.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night and Old Monster Xu both let out a breath. The aura that Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss just released a second ago was too terrifying. Now that they had Duke Nanfeng, they felt slightly confident.


    "Luckily, I made it¡­." Duke Nanfeng let out a breath in his heart when he saw that no one from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was injured. Luckily, he had given orders for his subordinates to inform him as soon as the Ocean Smoke Pavilion came to the Gan Province, and he immediately started rushing over when he heard the news. He had promised Zhao Feng that he would take care of these guys; if something happened on his watch, then it would be extremely bad.


    At the same time, he didn''t expect Nine Darkness Palace to actually send Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss over.


    "Zhao Feng is the Grand Elder of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and my friend. I can''t just sit here and do nothing when you''re trying to kill his subordinates."


    Duke Nanfeng didn''t fear Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss''s questioning, and a surge of invisible providence radiated from him. The image of a faint dragon could be seen revolving around him.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss''s eyebrows furrowed slightly. In theory, Duke Nanfeng''s actions weren''t incorrect.


    "The Ocean Smoke Pavilion was once Nine Darkness Palace''s subordinate, and Zhao Feng forcefully taking it has enraged the upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace. If he wasn''t hiding in the Imperial Palace, no one would be able to save him." Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss started to use his own justification when facing Duke Nanfeng, but his Demonic pressure actually increased.


    There was also another reason why they wanted to kill Zhao Feng and those from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion ¨C Nine Darkness Palace had sent four Emperors after Zhao Feng, but they had all been killed by him. If Nine Darkness Palace just let go of Zhao Feng, where would they put their face?


    "Nine Darkness Palace stands behind the Thirteenth Prince but is attacking the forces of the Ninth Prince. The Thirteenth Prince doesn''t know of this, right?" Duke Nanfeng said. He was using the rules of the battle for Crown Prince to restrict Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss. The battle for Crown Prince didn''t allow the princes to do anything that damaged the forces of the other princes.


    Those from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were surprised. Didn''t Zhao Feng leave with an Elder from the Duanmu Family? Why did he join the Ninth Prince''s faction? Furthermore, of all the princes to side with, the Ninth Prince was ranked quite low and had a slim chance of becoming the Crown Prince.


    "Hahaha, Zhao Feng is just helping the Ninth Prince as an individual. If the Ocean Smoke Pavilion wants to join the Ninth Prince too¡­ the Ninth Prince hasn''t agreed to that, right?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss laughed. He had already thought about all of this before he came out.


    Duke Nanfeng''s expression changed. This was indeed true. In order for any power to join a prince''s faction, the prince had to agree to it themselves¡­ but why would any prince reject a free three-star power? Thus, this point was ignored and forgotten about by many people.


    "Duke Nanfeng, I encourage you to mind your own business." Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss snickered coldly and immediately took action. Even if Duke Nanfeng wanted to stop him, he was still going to kill everyone from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Demonic light surged around Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, and countless tentacles were unleashed. These tentacles looked like they belonged to an ancient beast, and the air became tense as the hearts of all the other Sacred Lords went cold.


    "Late stages¡­ of the Mystic Light Realm¡­!" Duke Nanfeng choked on his words.

 927 Favor

    Chapter 927 - Favor


    Note: Supreme Emperor Dark Night is stilled called an Emperor because it is a title, not a cultivation rank.


    "Late stages¡­ of the Mystic Light Realm¡­!" Duke Nanfeng choked on his words.


    He didn''t expect Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss to have reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm after exiting seclusion. This meant that, even if he teamed up with the two Sacred Lords from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, they still wouldn''t be Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss''s match.


    Old Monster Xu and Supreme Emperor Dark Night felt a strong surge of power as they faced Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, and their bodies started to toss and turn. They felt unable to breathe due to the pressure. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was like an unrivalled deity.


    "Late stages of the Mystic Light Realm!" Old Monster Xu was stunned. He and Supreme Emperor Dark Night had only become Sacred Lords not long ago, so they were still a bit away from normal beginning-stage Sacred Lords. Furthermore, Supreme Emperor Dark Night was an assassin; in a head-on battle, many of his techniques couldn''t be used at all.


    However, even if they could use their full power, it would still be useless against a late-stage Sacred Lord. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss completely suppressed them in terms of cultivation.


    Those from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion that had retreated a thousand miles away felt that something as wrong as well. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss''s aura suddenly rose to an unimaginable level. They felt their hearts shake even from here.


    Duke Nanfeng also felt helpless.


    Boom!


    Countless demonic tentacles shot out from Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and charged toward Supreme Emperor Dark Night and Old Monster Xu like a predator meeting its prey.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night turned into a dark streak of light that suddenly split apart and dodged the attacks while disappearing into the air.


    Old Monster Xu used all his Mystic Light Sacred power to retreat, but the tentacles seemed to be infinitely long. After missing, they simply changed directions and continued to attack at the same speed. It twisted and turned in an attempt to surround them, and they never gave up.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss just stood there and watched coldly, as if he was the god of Heaven and Earth.


    "Heaven Suppressing Demon Seal!" As the tentacles were about to catch up to Old Monster Xu, he circulated his Sacred Power and released a seal of white light. This white light had a pure aura that could suppress the power of demons.


    Boom!


    Old Monster Xu''s sacred hand seal clashed with several tentacles.


    Bam~~~~


    In front of the absolute Mystic Light Sacred power, Old Monster Xu''s secret technique was completely destroyed. The demonic tentacles passed through the Sacred Power and shot furiously toward Old Monster Xu.


    At the same time, Supreme Emperor Dark Night suddenly appeared behind Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and stabbed a shadow-like sword that glittered with a black light toward him.


    "Hmph!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss snickered coldly, and he didn''t even move against Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s ambush. The air behind Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss started to twist as a tentacle shot out toward Supreme Emperor Dark Night with a chaotic and Destructive aura.


    Whoosh!


    The instant Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s secret technique clashed with the demonic tentacles, a flash of darkness split off and hid.


    Shua!


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s doppelganger and the demonic tentacle both shattered.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night had given up one doppelganger just to destroy the demonic tentacle. He couldn''t get close to Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss. In the clash, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss didn''t even move and yet he was able to force the two Sacred Lords into a desperate situation.


    Duke Nanfeng stood on the side and witnessed this with shock.


    "I can''t just keep on watching."


    The dragons around Duke Nanfeng suddenly rose and broke through the restrictions of his power.


    Whoosh!


    Just as Duke Nanfeng was about to take action:


    Jiang!


    An immortal Sword Intent appeared, and it seemed like it could slash through the heavens. An ancient green tattered sword sliced forward and radiated a sharp aura that seemed to be able to force back the heavens.


    A white figure formed from sword-light appeared behind the tattered sword. It was the figure of an elder with a long moustache who gave off an immortal Soul Sword Intent that pushed back all the tentacles.


    "So close!" Old Monster Xu''s heart shook as he looked at the ancient green tattered sword in shock and didn''t know what was going on.


    "That is¡­ an Ancient God weapon!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss''s face was filled with shock.


    It had to be an Ancient God sword for it to be able to cut through his demonic tentacles so easily and give off such an immortal Sword Intent. The white light behind it also contained the laws of the Soul Sword. This was the only Ancient God weapon that had appeared in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Furthermore, Little Sword Saint Gu Yue from the Sky Sword Pavilion had obtained the recognition of the Ancient God weapon and transformed into a Soul Sword that merged with the Ancient God weapon and became its weapon spirit. Because of this, there were rumors of the Sky Sword Pavilion returning to its former glorious four-star days.


    "Why is the Ancient God weapon here?" Duke Nanfeng was surprised and puzzled at the same time. The power of the Ancient God weapon was indeed shocking.


    "Senior Sword Saint." A girl in black started to slowly fly over. It was the prodigy of the Sky Sword Pavilion''s younger generation ¨C Mo Dongyao.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' expression became grim. Why was the Sky Sword Pavilion interfering too? Furthermore, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss could feel a hidden Sword Intent not far away. This made Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss stop.


    At this moment, a voice sounded from the image of the Little Sword Saint, "Sacred Lord, I owe Zhao Feng a favor, so I can''t just do nothing."


    Hearing that, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss boiled with anger. Zhao Feng again! What the heck did Zhao Feng do in the Divine Illusion Dimension for Little Sword Saint Gu Yue to owe him a favor?


    "You''re just the weapon spirit of an Ancient God weapon. How much power can you even use?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss said coldly. Mo Dongyao was completely ignored by him because her cultivation level was too low. His attention was mainly focused on the hidden Sword Intent.


    The Sky Sword Pavilion would definitely not allow the Ancient God weapon and their prodigy to appear in the outside world in such a casual manner. There was definitely a peerless Sword Dao expert protecting them in secret.


    However, when he thought about it, that was what Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss wanted, because as long as he didn''t harm Mo Dongyao or plan to steal the Ancient God weapon, the Sacred Lord from the Sky Sword Pavilion wouldn''t do anything.


    "This will be much easier then." Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss revealed a deadly smile, and killing intent flashed in his eyes as he looked toward Old Monster Xu and Supreme Emperor Dark Night. He wasn''t scared of the Ancient God weapon.


    He had to kill those from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, but the Ancient God tattered sword suddenly released a glow of light and landed in Duke Nanfeng''s hand.


    Jiang!


    Duke Nanfeng paused for a moment before understanding what the Little Sword Saint wanted.


    Weng~~


    Duke Nanfeng, who was surrounded by light dragons and holding the Ancient God weapon, instantly released a world-shaking sword-beam that shot into the sky. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' magnificent aura crumbled against the immortal Sword Intent.


    The figure of the transparent Little Sword Saint behind Duke Nanfeng released the Intent of the Soul Sword. Their combined force changed the color of the sky, and it seemed like they had become a peerless Sword Saint.


    "What¡­ is this!?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was dazed. Was this even possible?


    With the addition of draconic providence, Duke Nanfeng had the battle-power of an early-stage Mystic Light Realm, and with the help of the Ancient God weapon on top, his battle-power easily exceeded the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night and Old Monster Xu were filled with excitement. The current Duke Nanfeng gave off a peerless pressure that stunned Heaven and Earth.


    "As expected of an Ancient God weapon." Old Monster Xu sighed.


    "Sacred Lord, I only owe Zhao Feng a favor and don''t want to be your enemy." The voice of the Little Sword Saint within the white light sounded in the soul-dimension.


    "Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, the battle for Crown Prince has already begun, and all the forces of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty have been swept into it. No one knows what will happen in the future," Duke Nanfeng said as he gave off a powerful pressure.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss looked toward Duke Nanfeng and understood what he meant. Nine Darkness Palace had lost a large quantity of middle-echelon fighters and even a Sacred Lord in their attempts to deal with the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo. If he was injured as well, all because he wanted to deal with a junior at the Void God Realm, it wouldn''t sound good, and it would probably affect Nine Darkness Palace''s progress in the future.


    Now that the peak three-star Sky Sword Pavilion had gained the recognition of the Ancient God weapon, no one was certain about what could happen.


    "Fine. I''ll give Duke Nanfeng and the Sky Sword Pavilion face and let all of you live," Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss''s voice sounded as he gave himself an excuse that he could use to step back. "Hmph!"


    The demonic tentacles in the air started to contract and turn into black scales that covered Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss as he started to leave. The pressure of a Demonic Dao Sacred Lord also started to fade away.


    "Many thanks to the Sky Sword Pavilion for helping." Those from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion gave their thanks.


    "I''ve repaid Zhao Feng''s favor. If there''s nothing else, I will be leaving." The Ancient God weapon left a streak of green light as it landed in Mo Dongyao''s hand, and they left.


    At this moment, within the Ancient Dream Realm, the sky was bright and sunny, but a part of the forest was covered in a storm of wind and lightning.


    "I''ve formed the basic structure of a Little World."


    Zhao Feng sat in the middle of his Little World. Wind and lightning roared around him, but it had no effect on him.


    The True Yuan within his Crystal Core slowly filled every corner of the Little World, just like how blood was pumped to each and every limb. He could feel that he was the lord of this Little World and controlled everything within it. He even had a slight control over the laws of the Ancient Dream Realm.


    To use a Little World, one would materialize it into reality and control part of the laws of reality.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng''s Little World was only a couple hundred meters wide, which was nothing in comparison to the Nine Darkness Sacred Lord''s thousand-mile-wide Little World projection.


    "The power of my Little World isn''t enough. Looks like the connection between the Domain of Wind Lightning and the Crystal Core dimension isn''t strong enough."


    Zhao Feng''s left eye could see through everything. The structure of the Little World must be extremely strong or else it would be hard to perfect it in the future.


    On a certain day, dark clouds filled the air above the Ancient Dream Realm, and flashes of lightning could be seen.


    "Is it here?"


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes.

 928 Disadvantaged

    Chapter 928 - Disadvantaged


    Dark clouds filled the air above the Ancient Dream Realm as a wisp of lightning started brewing.


    "Is it here?"


    Zhao Feng was extremely excited, but his eyes were solemn.


    He had formed his Little World within the Ancient Dream Realm because he wanted to wait for the next storm. Ever since he had this idea, he wanted to give it a try ¨C comprehend the Little World of Wind Lightning during an Ancient Dream Realm storm.


    Plop! Plop! Plop!


    The sky started to turn dark as drops of rain fell from the sky. When the raindrops entered Zhao Feng''s Little World, he felt that it was starting to become chaotic. He couldn''t control the raindrops that entered his Little World.


    "Right now, I can only control what I create in my Little World. I''m unable to affect other objects, and other objects can even affect the stability of my Little World."


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed together; his Little World was too weak. However, he didn''t remember that he was in the Ancient Dream Realm. If he returned to reality, his control over space would surpass a newly-formed Little World of a normal Emperor. The raindrops from the Ancient Dream Realm also contained a lot of ancient aura that was completely different from the dimension he lived in.


    In order to control these raindrops, he needed to have a deep understanding. In order to affect the laws of the Ancient Dream Realm, he needed to understand the origin of the Ancient Dream Realm to a certain degree, and Zhao Feng was extremely far away from that step.


    Boom!


    The rain got bigger, and the occasional flash of lightning appeared.


    Zhao Feng raised his head.


    "The storm this time is much smaller than last time."


    Even though that was the case, Zhao Feng''s Little World started to turn transparent when the raindrops fell into it, as if it was going to disappear any moment.


    A light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes as he circulated his Crystal Core dimension. A surge of Wind Lightning True Yuan instantly flowed to every corner of the Little World, and the outline of the Little World around Zhao Feng became a bit clearer.


    An occasional flash of lightning appeared in the dark clouds. Below these dark clouds was another layer of half-transparent clouds that was ravaged by wind and lightning. This scene was extremely weird; it was as if there were two skies in one world.


    Like this, Zhao Feng started to feel the faint aura of Wind and Lightning among the rain of the Ancient Dream Realm. The Little World changed with his mind and started to slowly become realistic.


    Boom!


    A crackle of lightning sounded from above Zhao Feng''s head and caused his Little World to unleash a torrent of lightning bolts. The pressure of something that ruled over everything in the world appeared, and a strong sense of danger made Zhao Feng''s left eye give out a warning.


    "Not good!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom¡­!


    A giant bolt of lightning landed right where Zhao Feng was standing and left behind a black crater. Everything within ten meters had disappeared. There was still smoking and burning black pieces of wood nearby.


    The Yao bird and python in the tree looked at the hole with puzzled eyes and shaking bodies. The next instant, a golden-haired youth appeared in the very center of the black crater.


    The giant python and Yao bird witnessed all of this and thought nothing of it. While the cultivation of their master wasn''t very high, he had the ability to move like a ghost.


    "So close."


    Zhao Feng was relieved. He was in the process of comprehending, so his sense toward the outside world was weak. If it wasn''t for the warning of his left eye that woke him up, he would have been killed by the lightning bolt.


    "Lightning shouldn''t have fallen in such a weak storm. Looks like it was attracted by my Little World of Wind Lightning." Zhao Feng analyzed. This was the first giant bolt of lightning that had fallen since the storm showed up.


    The Little World of Wind Lightning was still in its beginning stages, so its ability to attract lightning was nothing compared to his Sacred Lightning Body. If he circulated his Sacred Lightning Body here, it would instantly attract several bolts of lightning.


    Furthermore, the weather was getting worse, so the chances of ancient lightning descending would become bigger. This meant that Zhao Feng might need to leave the Ancient Dream Realm at any moment, so he didn''t dare to spread his Little World of Wind Lightning anymore.


    After collecting some wood that contained some ancient lightning nearby, Zhao Feng sat down in the very middle of the hole.


    "There''s only two months left till the battle for Crown Prince. I must finish the early stages of my Little World by then."


    Zhao Feng had a clear mind. For normal Emperors, forming a normal Little World within a year meant that they were a peerless prodigy, but with Zhao Feng''s analyzing and learning ability, four months was enough.


    However, the Little World of Wind Lightning he wanted to form contained the Intent from the Ancient Dream Realm and was far more difficult than a normal Little World. Once Zhao Feng finished the early stages of his Little World, its power would be able to easily suppress a normal Emperor''s Little World, similar to how Zhao Feng wasn''t even able to last three breaths the first time he entered the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Several forces stood within the Ninth Prince''s palace. Many Kings and Emperors stood on the side. Only some three-star powers, experts with noble ranks, and Sacred Lords were allowed to speak.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night, Old Monster Xu, Duke Nanfeng, and Zhou Su''er were all here, but the atmosphere was tense.


    "Ninth Prince, are we really going to give the position of beast tamer to Zhao Feng?"


    A muscular middle-aged male had a dissatisfied expression. His every movement and action gave off a powerful force, and this was still under the basis that he was trying to conceal it.


    The Ninth Prince''s expression was also slightly grim. In reality, he had wanted to give the soul specialist position to Zhao Feng, but the latter already told everyone that he was the beast tamer.


    In addition, the Ji Family originally supported him, but after learning that Zhao Feng was a member of the Ninth Prince''s force, they immediately left and joined the Eighth Prince, which was a big blow.


    When the Ninth Prince went to ask why, the Elder from the Ji Family replied as such; "With Zhao Feng present, it''ll be hard for the Ji Family to gain the position of soul specialist."


    The Ninth Prince was helpless, but since the Ji Family had already joined the Eight Prince''s side, it was no use no matter how he explained.


    However, Zhao Feng''s support also gave the Ninth Prince some other supporters, such as Duke Nanfeng and the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. To a certain extent, Zhou Su''er was also supporting him because of Zhao Feng.


    "Well, Zhao Feng is also an extremely talented beast tamer," the Ninth Prince smiled and replied. He believed that Zhao Feng would use his true skills and not trick him.


    Duke Nanfeng and the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were all puzzled as well. While Zhao Feng was indeed a talented beast tamer, his personal battle-power and mysterious eye-bloodline techniques were far superior.


    However, the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion didn''t have any right to question Zhao Feng''s choices.


    The muscular male said no more. He was from the Shi Family, which was the only member of Eight Big Families standing behind the Ninth Prince. He wasn''t fighting for the position of beast tamer, he was just thinking of the group, and he hoped that each member was the best possible choice for their position because their opponents were simply too strong.


    In the original report of overall strength, the Ninth Prince was ranked 6th, but now it had dropped to 7th. This meant that, in this period of time, the other princes had met more fortune than the Ninth Prince.


    The Eighth Prince, who was originally ranked 7th, was now ranked 4th and even had the momentum to fight for the position of Crown Prince.


    The current members had no confidence when facing the terrifying groups of the other princes.


    "Shi Yulei, as long as we work together and use Shen Jizi''s tactics, we have a chance," Old Ying''s voice sounded.


    "We can''t jump to rash conclusions right now. Anything can change," an staff-wielding elder with a white beard said slowly.


    Shen Jizi was once a famous sage who knew divination, but no news of him had been heard for many years. His appearance surprised many of the older generation.


    A sentence from each of the elders instantly calmed everyone down.


    "Tomorrow is the fight for the positions. Zhao Feng still hasn''t come out of seclusion?" a dissatisfied voice sounded from the Elder of a normal three-star power.


    The fight for positions was the final obstacle to confirm the positions and usually didn''t take too much time.


    For example, the Ninth Prince had seven slots in total.


    Zhou Su''er was extremely famous for her healing abilities, and no one would be willing to challenge her over it. Even if they thought they had a chance, they wouldn''t dare to.


    Shi Yulei was a prodigy of the Shi Family who had awakened his bloodline, and he was from an earlier generation. The Shi Family was the biggest force behind the Ninth Prince''s back, so no one would try to take his spot.


    In fact, if the Shi Family wanted to take a second spot, the normal forces wouldn''t dare to say anything.


    Furthermore, there were two more unique rules in the fight for the positions. The first was that only the forces that supported the specific prince or a neutral force had the right to challenge the position. The second was that the challenger''s cultivation couldn''t exceed the person with the position.


    For example, if a beast tamer wanted to challenge Zhao Feng, then this beast tamer couldn''t come from any force behind any of the other princes, and their cultivation couldn''t exceed Zhao Feng''s.


    With all these restrictions, the fight for the positions wasn''t really that complex or exciting as one might imagine.


    "If Zhao Feng doesn''t come out of seclusion by tomorrow, then we''ll just have to interrupt him." The Ninth Prince felt slightly helpless. He remembered how Zhao Feng entered seclusion during their first visit as well.


    However, the Ninth Prince was slightly looking forward to it. Zhao Feng was one of his core members, so it would only be good for him if Zhao Feng became stronger.


    Hu~~


    An aura suddenly appeared, and the expressions of all the experts changed as they looked outside.


    "His Highness Ninth Prince, I''ll be interrupting you."


    A powerful elder in dark red robes stood outside the hall, and his pressure caused all the experts in the hall to start breathing more heavily. Next to him were several others from the Tie Family, and one of them was a pretty female who scanned her eyes urgently across the hall.


    "Senior Hongnan, tomorrow is the fight for the positions. May I ask why you''re here?" The Ninth Prince gave a faint smile as he went forward.


    The Tie Family was one of the best among the Eight Big Families and was no weaker than peak three-star powers. They currently stood on the Fourth Prince''s side.


    "I''m here to find Zhao Feng," Tie Hongnan''s voice resounded across the hall, and no one dared to stop his disrespectful actions. Even the Elder representing the Shi Family bowed their head and didn''t speak.


    Although they were both from one of the Eight Big Families, the Shi Family was nowhere near the Tie Family, who guarded against the non-human races in the northwestern region. Furthermore, this Tie Hongnan wasn''t some random member of the Tie Family, he was an old Sacred Lord.


    "Senior Hongnan, Zhao Feng is still in seclusion." The Ninth Prince had an apologetic expression.


    "Hmm? Are you sure he''s not just hiding from the Tie Family?" Tie Hongnan''s expression turned slightly angry as a wave of fiery aura spread and pressured all the other experts present. Their souls started to tremble, and the True Yuan and blood within their bodies were about to burn.

 929 Exiting Seclusion

    Chapter 929 - Exiting Seclusion


    "Hmm? Are you sure he''s not just hiding from the Tie Family?" Tie Hongnan''s expression turned slightly angry as a wave of fiery aura spread and pressured all the other experts present. Their souls started to tremble, and the True Yuan and blood within their bodies were about to burn.


    The hearts of Old Monster Xu and Supreme Emperor Dark Night faintly shook. The aura that this Tie Hongnan displayed was on par with Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    No one present dared to say anything in the face of a Tie Family Sacred Lord''s interrogation.


    "Grand Elder, Zhao Feng is indeed not here," Tie Litian, who was next to Tie Hongnan, scanned over the place and said.


    The Tie Family knew that Zhao Feng was in seclusion so they waited till now, but Zhao Feng was still in seclusion the day before the position fights? This made them suspicious that Zhao Feng was purposely avoiding the Tie Family.


    "Tell Zhao Feng to come out. I want to talk to him." Tie Hongnan''s terrifying aura spread once more across the hall and transformed it turn into a burning hell.


    "Senior Hongnan, this isn''t good. You''re supporting the Fourth Prince, but you want to disturb a member of my team from cultivating¡­?" The Ninth Prince had to say this, and he believed that Tie Hongnan knew what he meant.


    These were the rules for the fight for Crown Prince. The forces behind each prince couldn''t disturb the subordinates of the other princes.


    The Ninth Prince not giving in to the pressure of the Tie Family made the experts within the hall feel good, but at the same time, they could clearly feel the difference between them. The Fourth Prince didn''t just have the peak three-star Tie Family behind him, he also had the Dong Family and two Grand Duke Palaces. Even the four-star Sky Suspension Palace stood behind the Fourth Prince. There were also countless two-star and three-star forces.


    ¡­and yet, the Tie Family alone scared everyone from the Ninth Prince''s side.


    "Grand Elder, why don''t we just wait a while? Tomorrow is the day for the fights, so Zhao Feng will definitely come out of seclusion by then," Tie Litian''s expression changed slightly as he said.


    Even the Tie Family didn''t dare to disobey the rules set by the imperials.


    "Fine¡­ but if Zhao Feng hasn''t come out of seclusion by tomorrow, I will take it that he''s not going to participate in the fight for the positions, meaning that he won''t be considered a member of the Ninth Prince''s force."


    Tie Hongnan looked at the Ninth Prince with a hint of praise, but then scanned over the other experts present with a threatening meaning.


    After Tie Hongnan and the others from the Tie Family left, the temperature of the hall returned to normal, but it was now dead-silent.


    The Ninth Prince felt helpless. If the Ji Family was here, they would''ve been able to put up a fight in terms of momentum and not lose so much morale.


    At this moment, a kind-looking male in dragon robes walked over; "Zihang, don''t give up. Although there aren''t many forces behind you, all of your team members are elites and full of potential."


    "Eleventh Uncle." The Ninth Prince''s expression changed slightly, and he felt extremely unwilling. Being the leader, everyone had reached this stage for his sake, so he couldn''t show any signs of wavering.


    The Ninth Prince''s eyes lit up. He couldn''t let everyone down.


    At the same time, those who had gained a spot felt confident and full of anger.


    "I believe everyone is outstanding and won''t be replaced by anyone else in the fight for the positions tomorrow." The Ninth Prince looked toward a handful of the people.


    Those that didn''t belong to a force could join in the fight for the positions, but these individuals wouldn''t dare to take a position from a strong force and would only go for the weaker forces.


    The next day, the draconic providence of the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty started to move, as if a golden dragon was about to awaken. The draconic providence swept over every direction.


    There were ten arenas in the biggest martial arts field in the Great Gan Imperial Palace. The martial arts field was surrounded by a hall where the princes and their forces spectated. Above the Imperial Palace in the clouds a thousand miles away were countless experts and forces.


    "Pavilion Master Bi, tell Zhao Feng to come out of seclusion." The Ninth Prince faintly shook his head. Did Zhao Feng actually forget about the fight for Crown Prince?


    Being the Ocean Smoke Pavilion Master, Bi Qingyue didn''t want to interrupt Zhao Feng, but she had to at this point.


    Bi Qingyue faintly nodded her head and left toward where Zhao Feng was in seclusion.


    At this moment, Tie Litian was already slowly walking over; "Your Highness Ninth Prince, has Zhao Feng still not come out seclusion?"


    Everyone''s heart fell. Someone from the Tie Family had already come. If Tie Hongnan did what he did yesterday and questioned them in front of all the forces of the Lord Dynasty, what should they do?


    Right as they were worrying, a voice sounded, "Ninth Prince, I''ve come late."


    Zhao Feng walked over with an apologetic expression, and all the forces around the Ninth Prince looked over.


    Zhao Feng''s infamous name spread throughout the Great Gan Lord Dynasty four years ago, but he had always been in seclusion after arriving at the Imperial Palace, so no one had seen him or his beast taming abilities. However, he was able to take an important position.


    The Sacred Lord from the Tie Family came yesterday because of Zhao Feng as well. Adding all of this together with Zhao Feng''s infamous name caused them to be quite dissatisfied with Zhao Feng.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng was the Grand Elder of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and had a good relationship with Duke Nanfeng, they would have already persuaded the Ninth Prince to take away Zhao Feng''s position.


    "Zhao Feng, it''s okay as long as you came." The Ninth Prince had a faint smile as he inspected Zhao Feng.


    The Elder from the Shi Family had a surprised expression; "The lifeforce and body-strength of this junior is on par with Shi Yulei!"


    One had to know that the Shi Family was traditionally a body-strengthening family, and Shi Yulei was a genius from the previous generation who had awakened his bloodline.


    "Zhao Feng, the Grand Elder of the Tie Family invites you over to have a talk." Tie Litian inspected Zhao Feng once again with a complex expression, but he didn''t hide the praise in his eyes.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng had reached the late stages of the Void God Realm, but he gave off an unfathomable feeling. His steady aura surpassed most ancient Emperors, and his golden eye made one feel uneasy. However, what made him most excited was that he could feel Zhao Feng''s perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline had become even purer.


    "There''s nothing for me to talk about with the Tie Family." Zhao Feng immediately knew what Tie Litian wanted to talk about as soon as he saw him. Back then, he told Tie Litian that he was cutting the original owner''s ties.


    "Zhao Feng, regardless of anything else, your body belongs to the Tie Family, and the blood of the Tie Family flows through you. That is reality; you can''t escape from it," Tie Litian persuaded. If Zhao Feng returned to the Tie Family, he would definitely become a supreme expert of the lord dynasty.


    The thought of his perfect bloodline held a tinge of hope for the Tie Family to become the strongest three-star power, and perhaps even a four-star superpower.


    "Escape?" Zhao Feng didn''t think as such. He was never trying to run away.


    If one wanted to count every single tie from the past, it would never end. Escaping was only what the Tie Family thought was happening; they thought that Zhao Feng was avoiding them.


    "Fine, I''ll come with you." Zhao Feng sighed as his gaze became decisive. There had to be an ending to this. The Tie Family was one of the strongest powers, and it was an enormous force that was deeply connected to the imperials. If he didn''t resolve this misunderstanding, it would drag on forever.


    Hu~


    Seeing Zhao Feng follow Tie Litian, the Ninth Prince''s forces let out a breath.


    They knew a bit about Zhao Feng, and while they were envious, they were puzzled at the same time. Why didn''t Zhao Feng just join the Tie Family in the first place?


    Zhao Feng''s appearance caught the attention of many experts from the Thirteenth Prince''s hall. The square-faced Grand Elder of the Duanmu Family and Duanmu Qing looked at Zhao Feng with a complicated expression while the Thirteenth Prince and those from Nine Darkness Palace had killing intent in their eyes.


    The Fourth Prince''s hall was silent. The huge number of terrifying existences made some two-star and three-star forces afraid to even breathe out loud.


    At this moment, Tie Litian appeared with Zhao Feng outside the hall.


    "Zhao Feng." The Fourth Prince looked at Zhao Feng and felt that he was steadier than before.


    At the same time, the other experts within the Fourth Prince''s hall also inspected this golden-haired youth.


    "Zhao Feng, we meet again." Xin Wuheng had a faint smile. He and Zhao Feng both came from the same hometown, so he was extremely happy that he could meet Zhao Feng again in the continent zone.


    "It''s Zhao Feng!" Xuanyuan Wen''s eyes glittered with a surge of battle-intent. Now that he had started to gain control of the substandard God weapon, he wouldn''t be caught off guard again like what happened in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "Zhao Feng?" A red-haired male with a cold gaze from the Tie Family looked over. He had heard that an Elder of the family had found the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline outside. Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s display in the Divine Illusion Dimension was also extremely outstanding; even Xuanyuan Wen was at a disadvantage against him.


    "You are Zhao Feng?" Tie Hongnan''s eyes were like fire, and they glittered with a weird red light as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    "Feng''er¡­!" The pretty female with furrowed eyebrows and pale expression behind Tie Hongnan cried out.


    At this instant, everyone was calling out Zhao Feng''s name. This made the mouths of the various two-star and three-star representatives fall wide open. Even the Elder from Sky Suspension Palace opened his eyes and gave an interested glance toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng stood there with a calm expression. His golden eye scanned over everyone and memorized what they said. At last, his gaze stopped on Tie Hongnan.


    So strong! This was the only thing Zhao Feng could say. He was several dozen times stronger than the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord back then. The casual pressure from Tie Hongnan made his body feel heavy, and he felt unable to breathe like he was bound by ropes.


    Is this the Sacred Lord from the Tie Family? Zhao Feng started to secretly circulate his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Tie Hongnan looked at Zhao Feng with a fiery gaze and secretly circulated his secret technique. Zhao Feng instantly felt as if he was being burned, and the Blood Devil Sun bloodline within his body started to boil as if it was going to erupt at any moment.


    Boom~~~~!


    A faint blood-red light surged from Zhao Feng and covered his body.


    "Good! Perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline!" Tie Hongnan''s face was filled with joy and excitement as he stood up and spread his terrifying fiery aura.

 930 Start of the Fights

    Chapter 930 - Start of the Fights


    "Good! Perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline!" Tie Hongnan''s face was filled with joy and excitement as he stood up and spread his terrifying fiery aura.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that the Imperial Palace was made from strong materials and had the protection of draconic providence, this hall would have crumbled already.


    Everyone looked at the glass-like red light glowing from Zhao Feng''s body with shock.


    Perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. This was a powerful bloodline that could be ranked within the top ten of Imperial Dao bloodlines. If the Tie Family was able to control this bloodline once more, it wasn''t impossible for them to become a four-star power in the future.


    The heart of an Elder from the Dong Family rose into the air, and the expressions of all the forces changed.


    The red-haired male next to Tie Hongnan felt the blood within his body boil.


    Perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, the red-haired male thought as he looked at Zhao Feng with battle-intent.


    Zhao Feng''s expression was grim as he opened his golden eye, and an ancient and desolate aura was released from the mysterious golden ball in the dimension of his left eye. The Blood Devil Sun bloodline within his body instantly shook and calmed down.


    "Hmm?" Tie Hongnan was still lost in joy by Zhao Feng''s Blood Devil Sun bloodline, but he suddenly realized that it had been suppressed. Tie Hongnan looked at Zhao Feng''s eye and was faintly shocked.


    This kid also had a powerful eye-bloodline within his body, and the feeling this eye-bloodline gave him wasn''t any weaker than the Purple Star Eyes bloodline of the Ji Family. Even he couldn''t see through it. Different unique bloodlines had appeared in the Tie Family in the past, but there was never an eye-bloodline.


    This should be Zhao Feng''s original eye-bloodline. Tie Hongnan already had his guesses.


    A bloodline that was able to suppress the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline was definitely not normal, but there was no similar eye-bloodline among the Imperial Dao bloodlines ranked higher than the Blood Devil Sun bloodline. Could Zhao Feng have a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races?


    Tie Hongnan''s expression instantly changed. That was the only possibility.


    He originally wanted to force Zhao Feng to stay in the Tie Family and make a few children for them, but now Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline had caught his interest too.


    It was extremely rare for someone to have two powerful bloodlines. As long as they didn''t die, they would become beings that could move the clouds of the entire continent.


    The Tie Family could raise a genius like this. Furthermore, since Zhao Feng had these two bloodlines and didn''t have a problem, that meant that they didn''t conflict with one another, and his descendants could inherit both bloodlines.


    The perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline and an ancient eye-bloodline. Tie Hongnan felt his blood boil. If the Tie Family was able to obtain a powerful eye-bloodline no weaker than the Ji Family''s, they would be able to surpass their former peak and reach a height never-before seen.


    "Zhao Feng, are you willing to join the Tie Family?" Tie Hongnan asked in a calm voice. He used a different tone than before, as if he was talking to a junior of the Tie Family that had been lost.


    "I''ve already said I''m not from the Tie Family and that I''m not interested," Zhao Feng replied without even thinking.


    He could tell from Tie Hongnan''s gaze that the Tie Family was thinking about his left eye. If he joined the Tie Family, he would start to lose control of things, and the secret of his God Eye might be discovered. There was no way to guarantee that the Tie Family wouldn''t do something nefarious.


    "Zhao Feng, the blood that flows through you is the blood of the Tie Family. I even brought your mother here today." Tie Hongnan was slightly surprised, but he didn''t get angry and continued to speak. He understood what Zhao Feng was like from Tie Litian''s report, so he had many other preparations.


    "Feng''er, it''s me¡­ your mother!" The pretty female behind Tie Hongnan instantly went forward and cried out.


    She knew that her true son was gone, but it was enough that this body was her son''s. She would rather watch "Zhao Feng" live on, and she would do whatever it took.


    "I only have one mother." Zhao Feng looked at Tie Xiuli and then Tie Hongnan with a decisive gaze.


    If they hadn''t abandoned the original Zhao Feng in the first place, this wouldn''t have happened to them. There was a reason for everything.


    "Zhao Feng, you know that the body you are currently using belongs to the Tie Family!" Tie Hongnan was someone that was easily enraged, and his tone changed when he saw Zhao Feng so decisively refuse to give him any face.


    "No, Sacred Lord, the original owner of this body was called Zhao Feng of the Zhao Family."


    Zhao Feng had already thought of what to say when they mentioned the body being from the Tie Family.


    Some of the current people present didn''t quite understand what was going on, but they could slowly start to tell from this exchange. Zhao Feng had taken the body of a member of the Tie Family who was originally abandoned somewhere, and he managed to awaken the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    However, the current Zhao Feng wasn''t the previous "Zhao Feng" anymore, and he showed no signs of wanting to join the Tie Family.


    However, against the pressure of the Tie Family, was "not wanting to" enough? Some of the three-star forces and families had grim expressions.


    "Zhao Feng had such a birth?" Xuanyuan Wen had a headache.


    "So, it was the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline." Xin Wuheng remembered how part of his True Yuan was mysteriously sucked away when he fought Zhao Feng in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "I''m a part of the Ninth Prince''s force right now, Sacred Lord. Isn''t forcing me to join the Tie Family a bit¡­?" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile as he continued to speak.


    Technically, Tie Hongnan''s actions were already going against the rules of the fight for Crown Prince, and because they were in the Imperial Palace right now, Tie Hongnan didn''t dare to take action.


    Tie Hongnan''s expression turned red with anger. A measly Void God Realm King who wasn''t even part of the Tie Family dared to reject his invitation in such a tone. Being an Elder of the Tie Family, he had never met such a situation before.


    An invisible fiery-hot aura rose, and the Kings and Emperors within the hall felt dry.


    "Senior Hongnan, please calm down. The fights for the positions are about to start." The Fourth Prince immediately got up and stopped Tie Hongnan''s anger.


    After bowing, Zhao Feng left the Fourth Prince''s hall.


    "Let''s go. The fights for the positions have started." The Fourth Prince quickly calmed down, and ten members with powerful auras stood up. Zhuge Yun, Xuanyuan Wen, Xin Wuheng, and the red-haired male were part of these ten.


    After leaving the hall, Zhao Feng headed straight for the arena.


    The arena was made from a Heaven-grade material and contained many arrays. Even beginning-stage Sacred Lords could only barely damage it. The arena was protected by arrays and draconic providence to protect against any shockwave.


    At this point, the Ninth Prince''s subordinates were all sitting in the arena already, including Old Ying, Zhou Su''er, Shen Jizi, and Shi Yulei. There was also a middle-aged male with a steady aura and a slim cold female in black clothes.


    This was the Ninth Prince''s team for the battle to become Crown Prince. Each of them specialized in a different point and were all extremely talented. Apart from Zhou Su''er, the others were all from the previous generation or even older.


    "Zhao Feng, why did the Tie Family want to talk to you?" Zhou Su''er immediately asked when Zhao Feng sat down. It wasn''t exactly a small matter that Sacred Lord Hongnan from the Tie Family personally came to find Zhao Feng.


    The other members were all curious as well. Zhao Feng and Tie Hongnan''s conversion was stopped by a barrier, so only those within the hall could hear. They could only see Tie Hongnan become extremely angry, so they wanted to know what made Tie Hongnan so angry.


    The cause of all this still had a casual expression.


    "He wanted me to join the Tie Family," Zhao Feng simply replied, and everyone apart from Old Ying and Shen Jizi stared at Zhao Feng with open mouths.


    They had only heard of Zhao Feng''s name; they had never actually witnessed his abilities before. What kind of talent did Zhao Feng have for the Tie Family to send Tie Hongnan to personally invite him to join the Tie Family?


    "If you don''t want to tell me, then don''t." Zhou Su''er became slightly angry and didn''t believe him. She thought that Zhao Feng was just making that up. The others all thought that Zhao Feng was joking as well.


    "Ridiculous!" Shi Yulei harrumphed coldly. The Tie Family was one of the strongest amongst the Eight Big Families. How could an Elder of the Tie Family invite someone with a different surname to join them?


    Now that all the members of the arena had arrived, the fights for the positions began.


    "This one is Zhou Wenwei from Elegant Wind Hall and would like to test Senior Jing Kai''s strength." A skinny middle-aged male walked out. His eyes were clear and full of confidence as he challenged the male in the group who had a steady aura.


    Elegant Wind Hall was a normal three-star power that supported the Ninth Prince but hadn''t obtained a position.


    The male with a steady aura next to Zhao Feng walked out.


    At this instant, fights had already started in the other arenas. It was either an exchange between arrays, soul-strength, or a head-on fight.


    Zhao Feng circulated his left eye and watched all the exchanges with a 360-degree angle. Only by knowing every opponent did one have hope to win.


    Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile. After defeating a Grandmaster Beast Tamer one and a half years ago with a spiritual pet from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, news should have spread by now, and so he most likely didn''t need to do anything.


    Boom!


    Jing Kai released his condensed aura, and a sparkling gold light that seemed to pierce through everything moved around his body in a certain pattern. On the other hand, a long green sword appeared in Zhou Wenwei''s hand. It gave off a cold glow of light and summoned whirlwinds when it moved.


    The two Emperors instantly clashed. Jing Kai''s attacks were continuous, and the golden light was everywhere.


    On the other side, Zhou Wenwei was agile and had sharp attacks, but Jing Kai controlled the match from the beginning so that Zhou Wenwei was forced to dodge and defend.


    "Pierce!" The golden light around Jing Kai suddenly formed into a transparent sword that shot forward. At the same time, wooden roots appeared in the ground and blocked Zhou Wenwei''s paths of retreat.


    Boom!


    Zhou Wenwei''s body was pierced through by ten thousand beams of light and thrown off the arena as blood spurted out from his mouth.


    "Thank you for going easy on me, Senior Jing Kai."


    Zhou Wenwei was taken away by an elder of Elegant Wind Hall.


    The members of the Ninth Prince''s group who didn''t know Jing Kai well now knew a bit about his strength. He had sharp Metal-elemental attacks, and he specialized in the element of Wood as well, which could support him and catch others off guard. This was indeed an outstanding battle member.


    An expert that specializes in the elements of Metal and Wood, Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    Jing Kai''s control of these two elements was on-point. The element of Metal was used for attack while the element of Wood was used for healing and support. They synergized well and didn''t conflict with each other.

 931 Talisman Soul Seal Secret Technique

    Chapter 931 - Talisman Soul Seal Secret Technique


    After Jing Kai displayed his strength, it was obvious what the female in black specialized in ¨C the soul. This position was originally supposed to be Zhao Feng''s, but he had taken the position of beast tamer instead.


    "Old Man Ge Xiang from the Void Ocean Pavilion would like to challenge Lady Su Qingling." A peaceful-looking elder holding a staff slowly walked out from the Ninth Prince''s hall.


    Before the fight for the positions started, the forces that didn''t manage to obtain a spot would analyze everyone who had a spot and discuss who would be the easiest to replace.


    Shi Yulei came from one of the Eight Big Families, and he was a peerless genius from the previous generation. There were no flaws in him or the power behind him.


    Old Ying was originally part of the Imperial Sky Net''s upper echelon, and he specialized in sensing and tracking. Apparently, he also had a lot of information regarding the Imperial Tombs. Old Ying also had the battle-power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord. No one would challenge such an important member of the team.


    Zhou Su''er was once the Sacred Emperor''s most favored princess, and her fame as a healer had spread long ago. Even the imperial doctors praised her. No one knew too much about her, but since she was an imperial, it was best not to offend her.


    Shen Jizi''s fame had spread across the Great Gan Lord Dynasty a hundred years ago, and very few people specialized in divination. Most forces didn''t even have one person that was capable of divination.


    As for Zhao Feng, he had a pet from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. No one had any hope of victory against him unless they had a Mystic Light Realm pet.


    Therefore, there were only two options: Jing Kai and Su Qingling.


    Su Qingling was part of the younger generation, and she was not very famous. The force behind her was Grand Duke Su''s Palace, which was the weakest of the ten Grand Duke Palaces and the only Grand Duke Palace that supported the Ninth Prince.


    The representative from Grand Duke Su''s Palace within the Ninth Prince''s hall stroked his beard and gave a faint smile. He wasn''t worried at all.


    Su Qingling slowly walked out, and a slightly old voice sounded, "As you wish."


    Weng~


    A surge of Soul Intent appeared from Ge Xiang and turned into dozens of white beams that shot toward Su Qingling.


    "Soul Beams!" Ge Xiang circulated his Soul Intent, and the several dozen white Soul beams were connected by a surge of strong soul-strength to form a large, condensed Soul beam.


    This attack had a powerful momentum that seemed like it could push Su Qingling''s soul out of her body.


    Su Qingling had a calm expression as a cold Soul power radiated from her body.


    "Shield," Su Qingling gently said as she twirled her hands and seemed to write something in the air. Soon, her Soul power started to spread as a giant Soul Talisman Seal instantly floated in the air and turned into a Soul Shield.


    "What a weird Soul secret technique." A light flashed through Ge Xiang''s eyes. He had heard of the Talisman Soul Seal Secret Technique before, but he didn''t expect to see it today.


    Boom!


    The Soul beam landed on the Soul Shield, and the clash shook the souls of the weaker cultivators.


    The Soul beam and Soul Shield both crumbled after a fierce exchange. Su Qingling''s defensive technique had completely blocked Ge Xiang''s attack.


    "Try to take this move. Soul Prison!" Ge Xiang roared as his white hair blew in the wind, and a large amount of white Soul power appeared.


    Weng~ Weng~


    White beams appeared above Su Qingling and formed a prison that crushed down with a mountainous Soul Intent. This was a wide-range Soul technique meant to restrain.


    Su Qingling''s Soul technique was completely countered.


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed. The power of this elder''s soul was strong, but this Soul Prison used up way too much energy and didn''t have as strong of an effect compared to Zhao Feng''s Soul Chains. On the other hand, Su Qingling''s Soul secret technique was extremely profound. Zhao Feng could only find one name for it in his memory ¨C Talisman Soul Seal Secret Technique.


    "Ice, seal!" The expression of the girl in black didn''t change. She raised her head and drew a giant Soul Talisman Seal with each hand.


    Weng~~


    The two Soul Talisman Seals released a wave of Soul power that crashed into the Soul Prison. Part of Ge Xiang''s Soul Prison was instantly sealed by Soul Intent, and its power decreased.


    At the same time, a cold Soul power swept over and created a layer of ice on the Soul Prison. After being sealed in ice, the Soul Prison posed no threat at all.


    At this moment, Su Qingling walked a few steps forward and exited the range of the Soul Prison.


    "Sword." Su Qingling''s eyes were cold as she raised her arm, and a weird Soul power fluttered.


    "I admit defeat." Ge Xiang sighed helplessly. The Soul Prison had already used up the majority of his Soul Intent. Furthermore, Su Qingling''s Soul secret technique was extremely weird, and his own technique was nowhere near the forgotten Talisman Soul Seal Secret Technique.


    The fight came to an end, and many experts that were planning on competing for this position instantly retreated. Many people didn''t even see through Su Qingling''s Soul techniques, and the people around the arena finally inspected this female for real.


    Zhao Feng had to admit that her mastery of the soul wasn''t bad, but her Soul Intent wasn''t very strong or else she would have been able to release much more battle-power. While her secret technique was strong, it required natural talent and wasn''t suitable for those with Soul-based eye-bloodlines.


    "While the Ninth Prince doesn''t have many members, all of them are elites." Duke Nanfeng gave a faint smile as his eyes became slightly more confident.


    The Ninth Prince''s eyes also lit up. The battle-power Su Qingling displayed was good.


    On the side, the representative from Grand Duke Su''s Palace gave an admiring smile toward Su Qingling. Su Qingling had inherited this mysterious technique in the Divine Illusion Dimension and had only comprehended part of it so far.


    After Jing Kai and Su Qingling both showed their battle-power, no one challenged the Ninth Prince''s members. Su Qingling''s unique Soul techniques even made the other members in the arena feel solemn. Although there weren''t many forces that supported the Ninth Prince, the members of his group were relatively outstanding.


    After the fight ended, Zhao Feng started to pay more attention to the other arenas. The battles in the arenas of the lowly-ranked princes were extremely fierce because these princes had no intention to actually become the Crown Prince, which meant they didn''t pose any threat to the other princes. Their groups were designed more for individual benefits.


    Zhao Feng paid most of his attention to the princes ranked in the top four: the Fourth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the Eighth Prince.


    With a thought, Zhao Feng looked toward the arena of the Thirteenth Prince.


    "Tang Ze from the Ground Demon Cult would like to fight with the main battle-power person." An elder with a deadly gaze and purple-and-black robes looked at a figure in black robes.


    The Ground Demon Cult was a three-star superpower that supported the Thirteenth Prince, and the black-robed "main battle-power person" was someone that the Thirteenth Prince personally hired to take up one of the main fighting positions.


    However, the other members didn''t even know what his name was; they only knew that he was a Quasi-Sacred Lord. Therefore, many forces that supported the Thirteenth Prince were eyeing this spot.


    The black-robed figure slowly stood up, and an aura of Death spread.


    "Come," a raspy voice sounded in the soul-dimension.


    An expert that is biased toward the soul. Tang Ze was surprised. Although he didn''t specialize in the soul, it wasn''t his weakness either. However, if the opponent specialized in the soul, that meant that their physical skills were weak.


    Tang Ze revealed a deadly smile and opened his Little World.


    The Little World of a Quasi-Sacred Lord was the limit of what a true world could withstand.


    A dark and cold Little World appeared behind Tang Ze and filled the entire arena. Invisible laws and Intents started to restrict the black-robed figure.


    "Die!" Tang Ze''s battle-power doubled when he was in his own Little World, and he charged over like a Demonic Sovereign.


    "Hmph!" The black-robed figure snickered coldly, and a long thin arm covered in bandages appeared the instant Tang Ze charged over. At the same moment, a surge of Death-based Soul power appeared.


    Hu~~~


    The black-robed figure''s power swept over Tang Ze''s body, and a strong surge of Death laws appeared and attracted everyone''s attention.


    Tang Ze froze as the True Yuan, lifeforce, and soul within his body were sucked away by a whirlpool of Death. The terrifying aura of Death covered Tang Ze and all his pores.


    "Arghhh, don''t¡­!" Tang Ze screamed as the Little World of darkness on the arena slowly faded away.


    Hu~


    The black-robed figure took back his arm. His robes shifted, and a dried corpse fell.


    Sii!


    Everyone within the Thirteenth Prince''s hall felt their hearts go cold, and those that were preparing to take his spot felt cold sweat appear on their backs. They had just passed by death itself.


    Who was this black-robed person? What kind of technique was that? It was extremely mysterious and powerful. With just a wave of his arm, he killed an expert of the Ground Demon Cult, and in such a gruesome manner too. He didn''t go easy on him at all.


    The experts of the other forces from the other arenas who were watching were stunned as well. They felt their souls tremble just from looking at the black-robed person. They were all Quasi-Sacred Lords too, but this black-robed person was extremely strong.


    Xin Wuheng, Xuanyuan Wen, and company on the Fourth Prince''s arena all had solemn expressions when they looked at the figure in black robes.


    Those with the ugliest expressions were the members that specialized in soul battles because they were the ones that would be in charge of facing soul attacks when they entered the Imperial Tombs. Because they specialized in the soul, they knew just how terrifying that figure in black was.


    "What a strong surge of Death Soul Intent," Su Qingling said with surprise.


    "The Intent of Death!" Zhao Feng circulated his left eye, but he wasn''t able to see through the black robes because there was a mysterious power that stopped him. The Soul Intent of this figure in black wasn''t weaker than his own, and the Intent of Death made Zhao Feng remember the Emperor of Death, but this figure in black was even stronger and more terrifying.


    "As I expected. The people behind the top-ranked princes are not simple." An Elder from the Ground Demon Cult instantly stood up and released his Sacred Lord aura as he looked at the figure in black with anger. "You''re not leaving any room for survival, are you? If you don''t give the Ground Demon Cult a good explanation after the battle to become Crown Prince ends¡­ hmph!"


    Although the black-robed person was strong, he was one person, while the Ground Demon Cult was a three-star superpower. They weren''t able to take this lying down.


    The black-robed figure didn''t reply. He simply sat back down, and the two members next to him hiccupped.

 932 Unparalleled Heaven Battling Bloodline

    Chapter 932 - Unparalleled Heaven Battling Bloodline


    The appearance of the figure in black robes caused the fierce fights over the positions to quiet down. He killed a Quasi-Sacred Lord from the Ground Demon Cult with cruel and terrifying power.


    This terrified the members behind the princes that had no intention of becoming the Crown Prince. They weren''t very strong, and if they met the black-robed person in the Imperial Tombs, they would definitely die.


    Some geniuses who were planning to challenge him instantly stopped their footsteps.


    The rate of death amongst the trial to become Crown Prince was quite low. If the forces behind the opposition didn''t have any life-or-death enmity, they usually wouldn''t kill the loser since they wanted to avoid unnecessary conflict. This meant that the danger of entering the trial was rather low, but this black-robed person didn''t seem to care about any of that. He didn''t even put the three-star Ground Demon Hall in his eyes and just killed Tang Ze right on stage.


    The strength of this black-robed person made even some Sacred Lords wary. This person would single-handedly increase the rate of death within the trial to become Crown Prince.


    A powerful male behind the Thirteenth Prince recovered from his shock and immediately sent the Thirteenth Prince a message, "Chen''er, did you recruit this member?"


    "Uncle, he''s not bad, right?" The Thirteenth Prince had a smug expression. He was extremely satisfied with this core battle member.


    "He''s very strong, but you need to watch out."


    The expression of the powerful male kept on changing.


    This black-robed male was extremely mysterious and strong. He wasn''t even scared of the three-star Ground Demon Hall, so why would he help Zhou Chen?


    The Thirteenth Prince didn''t take his uncle''s words to heart. He looked coldly toward Zhao Feng. The trial to become Crown Prince is where you will die.


    As the sparring on the other arenas continued, everyone''s attention started to move away from the black-robed person. After all, some of the people present were also peerless geniuses that had been famous for hundreds of years, and each one of them had strong battle-power.


    On the other hand, the arena of the Ninth Prince was quiet, and no one came to challenge any of them. All the members were silent as well.


    Su Qingling''s talent in the Soul Dao made the Ninth Prince''s team happy, but the black-robed person made them depressed. The Death Soul Intent that the black-robed person displayed completely surpassed Su Qingling''s Soul Intent, and even Jing Kai felt that only death would await him if he fought the black-robed person.


    "Don''t be tricked by what you see. If that person''s Soul Intent is so strong, it means that his physical body is his weakness. As long as we maintain a distance and use long-range attacks, we can win," Old Ying had a grim expression as he slowly spoke, and his words calmed everyone''s fear.


    Just like what Old Ying said, that was the best way to deal with soul-based experts. While they were using their soul techniques, they could be easily assassinated.


    For example, when Zhao Feng used his Soul Chains or his Gaze of the God Eye, he was basically unable to move or do anything else without messing up his technique.


    When the black-robed person killed Tang Ze with his Soul Intent, if someone had ambushed him from the side, he probably would''ve been heavily injured, and they would''ve been able to save Tang Ze.


    Therefore, the trial to become Crown Prince required good teamwork.


    Zhao Feng suddenly revealed a smile as he turned toward the arena of the Eighth Prince.


    "Cao Ling from the Cao Family would like to challenge Yu Tianhao of the Yu Family." A middle-aged male with a muscular figure looked at a handsome youth with closed eyes.


    "Yu Tianhao''s going to fight now."


    "The Cao Family only has one spot amongst the Eighth Prince''s group while the Yu Family has two. There was obviously going to be a fight amongst them."


    "Yu Tianhao has the Unparalleled Heaven Battling Bloodline, so it''s reasonable for the Yu Family to have two spots."


    "The Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline?"


    Discussion broke out.


    Everyone had only heard of Yu Tianhao''s Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline and never actually seen it before. Therefore, in everyone''s eyes, it would be easier to replace Yu Tianhao in comparison to the others since he was so young. However, due to the power of the Yu Family, which was one of the Eight Big Families, not just anyone dared to take it from him.


    While the Cao Family was weaker than it was in its prime, it was still one of the Eight Big Families, so they had the right to compete.


    Yu Tianhao suddenly stood up, and a surge of battle-intent appeared in his eyes. Everyone around the arena felt a shocking battle-intent rise into the sky. The will to battle within their bodies seemed to awaken as well.


    Cao Long gave a satisfied smile. It looked like Yu Tianhao wasn''t someone without strength who only depended on the Yu Family.


    Deng!


    Cao Ling suddenly leapt into the air and turned into a black shadow that charged over with the momentum of a storm.


    "Unparalleled Under the Heavens!" A powerful Intent radiated from Yu Tianhao''s body as he took action. A blazing light shot out from Yu Tianhao''s palm.


    "Rising Wind Punch!" In the next instant, Cao Ling''s black fist clashed with it.


    Boom!


    They both took a few steps back before steadying themselves.


    Whoosh!


    Cao Ling''s figure turned into a streak of dark light once more, appeared above Yu Tianhao, and kicked downward.


    "Mountain Crushing Kick!"


    Powerful Intent with the pressure of Heaven and Earth appeared on the leg. It seemed to become Mount Tai as it crushed downward, and everyone else watching found it hard to breathe. They had to circulate their True Yuan to protect themselves.


    "Unparalleled!" A supreme Intent surged from Yu Tianhao''s body.


    Boom¡­!


    A mysterious giant palm surrounded by orange light pushed upward and engulfed everything that it passed.


    Boom! Boom!


    Cao Ling''s thunderous attack was instantly destroyed, but there was no sign of Cao Ling.


    "Sky Cracking Palm!" Cao Ling was like an arc of lightning as he appeared on Yu Tianhao''s left side, and a surge of sharp air shot out and blew away the dust nearby.


    "As expected of the Cao Family. He moves like lightning, and his attacks are as strong as mountains."


    "I heard that the minimum requirement to become a Core disciple of the Cao Family is train ten middle-tier Earth-grade battle techniques to their peak."


    "The Cao Family is apparently full of close combat masters, and they have some body-strengthening techniques."


    Everyone praised Cao Ling''s powerful Intent and thunderous attacks.


    "Golden Blazing Point!"


    "Chaos Sky Opening Palm!"


    Cao Ling had countless close-combat techniques.


    "As expected of one of the Eight Big Families. Looks like I will have to use my true strength." Yu Tianhao''s eyes glittered as a certain bloodline seemed to burn and ignite within his body.


    Wu~~


    An ancient and mysterious figure in the shape of a human appeared and moved in sync with Yu Tianhao''s body. The dim orange light around Yu Tianhao''s body released a brilliant glow of light, and a mental energy battle-intent shot into the air.


    Yu Tianhao''s every action was in sync with the cold figure behind him. His every movement contained battle-intent that was enough to scare Gods and Ghosts alike, and it destroyed all the powers around him.


    Cao Ling felt as if a deity was looking down on him, and all his powers were suppressed.


    Some of the Kings and Emperors present felt like they had been struck by lightning. They had to circulate their True Yuan in order to resist the pressure.


    On the arena, a surge of battle-intent clashed with the barrier, and a Sacred Lord from the Yu Family instantly released the same power to form another barrier and protect everyone. At the same time, he had a faint smile as he looked at the cold figure behind Yu Tianhao''s back.


    "Oh my god! It really is the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline!"


    "Apparently, this bloodline can be ranked within the top ten Imperial Dao bloodlines!"


    "What battle-intent! I probably wouldn''t even be able to stand in front of him."


    The hearts of countless experts in the sky shook. They could feel a strong surge of battle-intent even from a thousand miles away.


    The expressions of Tie Hongnan and the others from the Tie Family within the Fourth Prince''s hall had grim expressions. The Tie Family and the Yu Family both guarded the northwestern borders, and the two families had a lot of conflicts with each other.


    The Heaven Battling bloodline of the Yu Family was slightly weaker than the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, but the rumored Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline was unrivalled and even slightly stronger than the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. However, the Yu Family had regained this bloodline once again while the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline of the Tie Family was in the body of some outsider who didn''t even have the Tie surname.


    The expressions of the people within the Eighth Prince''s hall went faintly red. The Yu Family was one of the biggest supporters of the Eighth Prince, and Yu Tianhao''s Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline was extremely powerful.


    The Eighth Prince looked at the arena with excitement. He had finally managed to persuade the Yu Family at the last moment, and the unexpected joining of the Ji Family instantly increased his overall strength dramatically.


    On the arena, Cao Ling didn''t show any signs of weakness when facing the Yu Tianhao who had become much stronger. A surge of Heaven and Earth power covered him and barely managed to block Yu Tianhao''s Intent.


    "Divine Force Punch!" Cao Ling used this force to close in on Yu Tianhao as he gathered his True Yuan and punched out.


    "Unparalleled Under the Heavens!" Yu Tianhao used this skill once more, and with the addition of his Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline, its power increased by several times as the cold figure behind him also thrust a palm out. A beam of orange light shot out and crushed everything in its path before throwing Cao Ling out of the arena.


    Hu~


    The fight came to an end. The powerful bloodline shook the hearts of the other fighters in each of the arenas.


    Shi Yulei on the Ninth Prince''s arena had a solemn expression while Jing Kai faintly lowered his head.


    The figure behind Yu Tianhao slowly faded away, and he suddenly started talking in an excited tone in the direction of the Ninth Prince''s arena; "Let''s have another fight!"


    Many gazes instantly turned toward the Ninth Prince''s arena. Who was it that the owner of the Yu Family''s Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline would personally ask to fight? Was there someone from the Ninth Prince''s team with comparable battle-power?


    The members of the Ninth Prince''s group were surprised and looked at one another. Who was Yu Tianhao talking to? It wasn''t a good thing for someone with such battle-power to keep an eye on them.


    Shi Yulei and Jing Kai immediately shook their heads and signaled that they had never seen Yu Tianhao before.


    Boom!


    No one had recovered from the exciting fight yet when suddenly, on the Thirteenth Prince''s side, a fierce battle erupted between Qi Peng, an old genius from Nine Darkness Palace, and a challenger from a Grand Duke Palace.


    Two Mechanism Masters on the Twelfth Prince''s arena had also started their exchange as well.


    All the fights for the positions were extremely fierce. Only a small number of people could just sit there and watch everything calmly.


    The countless forces in the sky and those within the surrounding halls could feel that the fights for the positions were coming to an end. The ten princes in the hall stood up instinctively and felt a wave pass through their hearts.


    Jing Kai, who was next to Zhao Feng, suddenly felt his body go numb. He turned toward Zhao Feng, but he didn''t find anything out of ordinary.


    Zhao Feng gave a faint smile and was secretly overjoyed. I didn''t expect the power of the ancient lightning to be able to merge into my God Tribulation Lightning Soul Body. Looks like my soul should be called a Lightning Soul Body then.

 933 Taking Action

    Chapter 933 - Taking Action


    Zhao Feng''s soul originally only contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning. He was just giving it a try and didn''t expect to succeed. The power of ancient lightning within the black wood was absorbed into his soul, but instead of coexisting with the God Tribulation Lightning, it merged directly into his soul.


    It was as if Zhao Feng''s soul could be refined by absorbing the power of ancient lightning. At the same time, the power of God Tribulation Lightning also became slightly stronger. Zhao Feng instantly felt his soul become more condensed, similar to the feeling when the ancient aura merged into his soul.


    Zhao Feng then directed his attention toward the other ten arenas.


    "Eh? He actually managed to merge those two opposite powers together?" Zhao Feng was slightly surprised as he looked at Luo Zun''s battle on the Eighth Prince''s arena.


    Luo Zun had completed his Little World, and it was extremely unique. The bottom half of his Little World was ice while the top half was fire. However, they didn''t affect each another.


    To be able to do such a thing, Luo Zun had already surpassed most older Emperors, and from the looks of it, Luo Zun had gained a lot in the Divine Illusion Dimension by relying on the Spiritual Connection Rat.


    Elsewhere, a scholar on the Seventh Prince''s arena trapped another Array Master and won.


    "The battles for the positions are coming to an end. Let me tell you a bit about the trial to become Crown Prince," Old Ying''s voice suddenly sounded, and everyone turned toward him. They knew that Old Ying knew the most information about the Imperial Tombs and the fight to become Crown Prince.


    "Firstly, draconic providence is a key factor in the trials and in how the victor is decided. All of you should know this."


    Everyone knew that the ruler of the lord dynasty could gather the providence within their territory and use it to consolidate their status. Of course, those that had been appointed by the imperials also received some providence, but normal people could only use part of the providence''s power while those with the imperial bloodline could turn it into draconic providence, which was more powerful and had more techniques.


    "When imperial experts are about to die, they will take their draconic providence into another dimension, and after hundreds of millions of years, this dimension will become a dimension filled with draconic providence." Old Ying had a respectful look in his eyes as he spoke.


    Everyone apart from Shi Yulei and Shen Jizi were surprised. They didn''t know that the Great Gan Lord Dynasty had ruled for such a long time, and they looked forward to this journey to a dimension that was filled with draconic providence.


    "We are supporting the Ninth Prince. As long as we gather enough draconic providence, the Ninth Prince can use it to gain almost infinite power." Old Ying had a solemn expression as he emphasized this point.


    The seven of them were here to support the Ninth Prince. Everyone knew this, but they didn''t know just how important this point was.


    Most people came here to find fortune or inheritances or use the ancient dimension to find their own breakthrough point.


    At the same time, they knew what Old Ying meant. As long as there was enough draconic providence, the Ninth Prince would be able to become stronger. In other words, the Emperor-level Ninth Prince could reach the level of a Sacred Lord or even higher with the addition of draconic providence.


    The other princes could as well.


    "Remember, this is the fight to become Crown Prince. If the Ninth Prince becomes the Crown Prince, the forces behind you will reap limitless benefits. The rise and fall of the Eight Big Families mainly come from the outcome of the Crown Prince trial." Old Ying tried extremely hard to make everyone willing to help the Ninth Prince.


    Shi Yulei seemed to remember something from his family and faintly nodded his head.


    Zhao Feng felt that the trial to become the Crown Prince was more of a game after knowing some of the rules. One didn''t even need to think; all they needed to know was that the winner would be the team with the most draconic providence.


    "Could it be that providence is also related to who can enter the Imperial Tombs?" Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something.


    There was a certain rule in the fight for the positions; the challenger''s cultivation couldn''t exceed the person currently holding the position.


    The Ninth Prince only had seven spots, and the cultivation of each member was relatively low. On the other hand, the Thirteenth Prince had twelve spots.


    The others were speechless. This simple information had already spread across the entire outside world, but Zhao Feng didn''t even know about it.


    "That''s right, entering the dimension requires the power of providence. The higher one''s cultivation, the more providence is required. This is the rule set by the imperials." Old Ying paused for a moment as well before explaining it to Zhao Feng.


    The more support a prince received, the more providence they would have. This meant that they would be able to take in more people and people who had higher cultivation.


    The forces supporting the Ninth Prince were extremely weak, so he couldn''t take many people in. Old Ying and Shi Yulei were two Quasi-Sacred Lords, while the princes ranked in the top five almost all had true Sacred Lords in their group.


    "Negotiation and recruitment are also tests for the princes." Old Ying sighed helplessly.


    Although that was the saying, a lot was related to the forces supporting each prince. Since the Ninth Prince was of low birth and wasn''t favored by the Sacred Emperor, the forces supporting him weren''t strong either.


    "There''s also a few other things, but I''ll tell you all after we enter." Old Ying only talked about some simple so that Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er would finally know a bit about the trial to become Crown Prince.


    The others instantly rolled their eyes at these two. What were they thinking by participating in the Crown Prince trial when they didn''t even know the most basic rules?


    "The fights for the positions have ended," Su Qingling said faintly.


    At this moment in time, the ten princes walked out.


    Because of what Old Ying just said, everyone felt a heavy mood. Zhao Feng also felt that he was now involved in a clash between the entire lord dynasty, but if the Ninth Prince was able to win, it would greatly benefit the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Only two or three positions in total had changed among the highly-ranked princes'' groups. The groups with the most changes came from the princes that were ranked extremely lowly. Since they had no intention of actually fighting the others to become the Crown Prince, they were more nonchalant when choosing their members.


    The 7th-ranked Ninth Prince was an exception.


    Old Ying knew that the Ninth Prince had started his preparations a long time ago and tried very hard. He had managed to persevere this whole time. Although the overall strength of his team was quite weak, he had chosen elites from these weaker forces and personally went to other places to persuade people. For example, the Ninth Prince personally went to invite Zhao Feng four years ago.


    Boom!


    A surge of invisible draconic providence appeared in the Imperial Palace and changed the color of the Heaven and Earth. Everyone felt a surge of limitless power; this power controlled everything, including their lives.


    "Welcome to the trial to become Crown Prince. Now that the fights for the positions have come to an end, the trial will soon begin." A male in golden dragon robes stood behind the main hall of the Imperial Palace and spoke. He was surrounded by draconic providence, and his words resonated across Heaven and Earth with the help of draconic providence.


    Next to the Sacred Emperor was a stunning female who wore a crown made from gold and jade. She wore extremely bright robes that had phoenixes drawn over them.


    Several faint supreme auras appeared within the great hall.


    Weng~~


    A stone tablet suddenly flew out from the hall. It radiated golden light as it appeared above the martial arts field.


    The golden light around the stone tablet slowly fell and landed in front of everyone on the arena.


    When Zhao Feng''s hand touched the golden light, it turned into a gray, dim dragon-shaped jade pendant. All the others nearby had the same jade pendant in their hands.


    The ten princes each held a jade seal, which gave off a faint white-and-golden dragon-shaped light that blinked.


    "This is Dragon Jade, and draconic providence will automatically be stored inside. The princes have a pseudo Crown Prince Seal, which can evolve into the real Crown Prince Seal." Old Ying knew that no one in the group knew about it and explained it to them.


    "The Dragon Jades in our hands are related to the pseudo Crown Prince Seals to a certain degree."


    Weng~~


    The stone tablet in the air started to spin, and immeasurable draconic providence of the Imperial Capital started to gather toward it. Many mysterious drawings on the stone tablet started to light up, and it started to radiate an ancient and desolate aura.


    "The trial has begun!" A voice sounded from the great hall. It managed to resound throughout the Imperial Palace even without the help of draconic providence.


    Hu~~


    A dark silver light shot out from the center of the stone tablet, and a terrifying spatial undulation was unleashed. More draconic providence was sucked in, and this dark silver light formed a chaotic screen.


    "Go!" The Fourth Prince and his team members charged forward.


    Xuanyuan Wen and a Sacred Lord from Sky Suspension Palace were the fastest as they entered it with a flash.


    "Mother, I will become the Crown Prince." The Thirteenth Prince looked at the female in front of the great hall before rushing toward the spatial screen.


    "Go!" The Ninth Prince also rushed toward the twisting screen, and the other princes followed as well.


    The members on the arenas all leapt into the screen.


    "Elder Hongnan, I will defeat that so-called perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline." The red-haired male from the Tie Family turned into a ball of fire and blasted past everyone else to enter the screen.


    Zhao Feng also followed the group and headed toward the screen, but suddenly, an aura of Death appeared next to Zhao Feng.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly.


    He hadn''t used a secret technique to go in as fast as possible, he just went along with everyone else. Zhao Feng didn''t expect someone to "cut in line" and head toward him like he was trying to go in before Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng hated this aura very much because it reminded him of the Emperor of Death. However, while others might be scared of the black-robed person, Zhao Feng wasn''t.


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and punched toward the side. If the black-robed person wanted to cut in line, then they would have to take this punch from Zhao Feng.


    Being an expert that specialized in the soul, the black-robed person''s physical defense shouldn''t have been too strong, so he would most likely retreat.


    Hu~


    The black-robed person seemed to be blind as he just continued to move forward.


    "This person!" Zhao Feng''s expression became grim.


    While the black-robed person gave off the feeling that he wanted to cut in line, there was a faint Soul disturbance containing the Intent of Death coming from him.

 934 Splltting Up

    Chapter 934 - Splitting Up


    The black-robed person seemed to be blind as he just continued to move forward.


    "This person!" Zhao Feng''s expression became grim.


    While the black-robed person gave off the feeling that he wanted to cut in line, there was a faint Soul disturbance containing the Intent of Death coming from him.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s punch landed on the black-robed person''s left arm, but at the same time, the soul attack from this black-robed person also attacked Zhao Feng''s soul.


    God Tribulation Lightning flashed in Zhao Feng''s dark purple soul and instantly destroyed the Intent of Death that attacked his soul. At the same time, Zhao Feng''s punch shattered the black-robed person''s elbow and ripped apart the black robes, revealing a skinny and withered arm. The arm was covered in bandages and had countless profound black talisman markings drawn all over it.


    Zhao Feng withstood the soul attack of the black-robed person while the black-robed person didn''t defend himself against Zhao Feng''s physical attack at all.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng harrumphed coldly as he entered the screen. Crippling one arm was just to teach this black-robed person a lesson.


    However, what happened next made the eyes of everyone who hadn''t entered yet go wide. The black-robed person''s arm started to recover and move just like before. The black robe that was ripped off also recovered and hid his arm.


    Zhao Feng only saw a slight part of this since he already entered the screen.


    "What kind of wicked technique is that!?"


    "His recovery speed is even stronger than Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords."


    "Idiot, that isn''t even recovery. Have you seen clothes recover after being ripped up?"


    "That Death Soul attack from the black-robed person didn''t even harm Zhao Feng."


    At this moment, the people that hadn''t entered the Imperial Tombs yet were completely stunned. The mysteriousness and the strength display by the black-robed person made everyone retreat and refuse to go near him.


    Zhao Feng wasn''t to be underestimated either. He took the black-robed person''s soul attack head-on without flinching. One had to know that the Quasi-Sacred Lord Tang Ze had been killed without any resistance by the black-robed person''s soul attack.


    Zhou Su''er was also amongst this group. Since she was a doctor, she wasn''t in a rush. She was the last member of the Ninth Prince''s team, and she saw this scene.


    "Big Brother Black Robes, please go in first."


    "Senior Black Robes, please enter"


    The experts that were about to enter the screen instantly retreated and started to smile, but their backs were drenched in cold sweat.


    "Zhao Feng!" A raspy voice that made one''s hair stand on end came from the black-robed person before he entered the screen.


    The various forces also witnessed the scene of Zhao Feng clashing with the black-robed person. They felt stunned and incredulous.


    Only some of the stronger families and forces seemed to guess something. An Elder from Ground Demon Hall suddenly remembered something, and his expression went grim before he gave a deep sigh.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng appeared in an ancient forest and felt his body and soul become heavy as a surge of ancient pressure appeared. This was an aura that had been through the Ancient and Immemorial Eras.


    Zhao Feng had the feeling that he had entered the Ancient Dream Realm. Because of the Ancient Dream Realm aura inside him, most of the pressure on Zhao Feng''s body suddenly disappeared, as if Zhao Feng had gained the recognition of this place. The pressure here was far weaker compared to the Ancient Dream Realm, and it only affected Zhao Feng a little bit.


    The Ninth Prince and the other team members were also here.


    "What a strong spatial pressure!" Zhou Su''er followed Zhao Feng''s footsteps, and her face went slightly red when she arrived. She felt that it was hard to breathe or even take a step.


    "Get used to it. The Dragon Jade will absorb the faint draconic providence in the air, and you can use it to lower the pressure that the dimension imposes on you." Old Ying immediately explained, and he paused for a moment when he looked at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn''t seem to feel uncomfortable at all, and he even seemed to be extremely compatible with this dimension. What was going on? Even if he cultivated a body-strengthening technique and had stronger resistance toward the pressure, the pressure here was very powerful and could repel all foreign objects. Those with lower cultivations would be unable to move at all; they could only lie on the ground.


    The others also felt that Zhao Feng''s situation was different from theirs. Even Shi Yulei, who was a body cultivator, felt that the air was heavy.


    "Everyone''s here. Our Dragon Jades are connected to the Ninth Prince''s pseudo seal, so we were able to arrive at the same place even though we came in at different times," Old Ying spoke quickly. It was obvious that time was of great importance.


    "The Dragon Jades and the pseudo Crown Prince Seal will automatically absorb the faint draconic providence in the air, but because of that, our efficiency will be rather low if we stay together."


    Old Ying picked up his Dragon Jade. It was dim and had no light. It was obvious that all the draconic providence nearby had been completely absorbed.


    The originally-bright pseudo Crown Prince Seal in the Ninth Prince''s hand was now only giving a faint glow. This was because they just used the providence within the pseudo seal to enter the Imperial Tombs.


    "¡­which means we have to split up," Old Ying said in a solemn tone.


    Everyone also guessed that this would happen because they could feel how important draconic providence was. Without draconic providence, they would be restrained by the pressure of the ancient dimension, which would reduce their battle-power.


    Under the strong pressure of the ancient dimension, they couldn''t even fly. Only Sacred Lords would be able to barely fly. However, if one had enough draconic providence, they could use it to resist the pressure of the ancient dimension and momentarily fly in the air.


    "We have eight people, so splitting into three groups would be best. Zhao Feng, Shen Jizi, and I will all lead one or two people. Who do you all want to go with?" Old Ying scanned over the group and suggested.


    Su Qingling, Jing Kai, and Shi Yulei all paused for a moment. They had no disagreements with Old Ying and Shen Jizi leading a group since they were both experienced elders. Old Ying specialized in tracking and sensing, so he could avoid danger, while Shen Jizi knew divination and could guess where danger and misfortune were.


    But why was Zhao Feng a leader as well? Was it because he was a beast tamer and needed protection?


    "I''ll go with Old Ying." Jing Kai immediately went to Old Ying''s side. After witnessing the fights for the positions, Jing Kai felt that his strength was only average amongst the members specializing in battle.


    Old Ying was a Quasi-Sacred Lord, and he was very experienced. Following him would mean he would be safe, and he would also be able to learn some things.


    The others looked at the Ninth Prince, who was standing next to Old Ying. This meant that Old Ying''s team already had three people total.


    "I''ll go with Shen Jizi," Shi Yulei and Su Qingling said at the same time and immediately walked over to Shen Jizi.


    "I don''t need a doctor," Zhao Feng immediately said. Zhou Su''er was the only one remaining, but she was completely useless to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng''s body was extremely sturdy, and he had the Water and Wood of Wind Lightning to heal himself and recover his True Yuan. He also had the Green Water Sky Lotuses and Hundred Origin Fruit Juice. A healer was the last thing he needed; any other member of the team would be more useful than Zhou Su''er.


    "You¡­!" Zhou Su''er''s face went red with embarrassment.


    She had witnessed the exchange between Zhao Feng and the black-robed person a moment ago, so she was confident in Zhao Feng''s strength and thought that it would be fine to be his partner. She didn''t expect Zhao Feng to suddenly reject her.


    "All of you can go. I will be going with Zhao Feng today," Zhou Su''er''s voice sounded.


    Just because Zhao Feng didn''t want a healer, did that mean he wouldn''t get one? If she just followed what Zhao Feng said, wouldn''t that be an even-greater loss of face than being rejected? Zhou Su''er didn''t want Zhao Feng to do as he pleased, so she immediately walked up to him, as if saying that she was definitely going to go with him.


    The other members looked at Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er and felt somewhat embarrassed. Although they had a bad impression of Zhao Feng and didn''t really like him, it wasn''t really suitable for the beast tamer and the doctor, who both had low battle-power, to go together. The beasts within the Imperial Tombs had all bathed in ancient auras and draconic providence, making them extremely fierce and deadly.


    Old Ying spoke just as they were pondering what to do, "If that''s the case, then let''s take action. This is part of the map for the Imperial Tombs, as well as some information regarding the trial."


    Old Ying gave everyone a booklet containing information.


    "En. Let''s go." Shen Jizi also gave a faint smile as he took the booklet and got ready to move.


    Shi Yulei, Su Qingling, and Jing Kai all faltered for a moment. Old Ying and Shen Jizi, who were both rather experienced, seemed to approve of this unbalanced duo.


    What was going on? Were Old Ying and Shen Jizi not worried that a team comprised of a beast tamer and a doctor would die here? However, since the two of them had no disagreements about it, they had nothing to say either, so they took the booklets and started to remember the information.


    Old Ying and Shen Jizi led their groups and left.


    Before the Ninth Prince left, he looked at Zhao Feng; "Brother Zhao, with your display in the Divine Illusion Dimension, the Imperial Tombs won''t be too difficult for you. You will definitely be able to protect elder sister Su''er."


    Zhao Feng rolled his eyes and started to think. Old Ying and Shen Jizi had most likely discussed this already and purposely gave the doctor to him.


    Zhao Feng looked over the information and instantly understood. Doctors were basically useless in the early stages and would only come into play later.


    There was a lot of information within the booklet, including which areas had dangerous beasts and which places had inheritances that no one had managed to obtain yet.


    However, Zhao Feng first needed to confirm his location.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng leapt into the air and landed on the peak of a nearby tree. After jumping into the air, Zhao Feng then rose another couple meters and gazed down with his God''s Spiritual Eye to see everything within a couple dozen thousand miles. Zhao Feng even saw some other figures about ten thousand miles away.


    Zhou Su''er was dazed as she looked at Zhao Feng, who was floating in midair.


    "You can fly here!?" Zhou Su''er asked in shock.


    Her Dragon Jade hadn''t absorbed any draconic providence at all yet, and she couldn''t resist the pressure of this dimension. She found it hard to even walk, but Zhao Feng seemed like he was still in their original dimension. He could easily jump around and float in the air. How did Zhao Feng do such a thing without any draconic providence?


    Zhao Feng didn''t reply to Zhou Su''er. He simply waved his left hand, and a giant Yao bird appeared and flew into the distance. This Yao bird was the one that usually protected the Ancient Dream Realm fruits, and it was now a late-stage King.


    Since it was a being from the Ancient Dream Realm, it was completely unaffected by the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Imperial Tombs, and it could actually fly even faster here. The ancient and desolate aura coming from its body scared away all the nearby beasts flying in the air.

 935 Dragon Jade Protection

    Chapter 935 - Dragon Jade Protection


    After confirming his location and inspecting all possible dangers nearby, Zhao Feng descended to the ground.


    "We are at the edge of the Imperial Tombs, which isn''t very dangerous. The inheritance of Sacred Lord Dark Sky is the closest inheritance to us."


    Zhao Feng used the information to match with his map.


    The inheritances near the edges were usually rank lowly, but they weren''t concerned only with inheritances; they also wanted draconic providence. Inheritances contained the remnant draconic providence of an imperial Sacred Lord, and if one managed to conquer the inheritance, not only would they receive the actual inheritance itself, they would also receive its draconic providence.


    On an individual level, Zhao Feng placed greater importance on the resources and funerary items.


    "Let''s go to Sacred Lord Dark Sky''s inheritance first." Zhao Feng started to move forward quickly while Zhou Su''er was still searching for the Dark Sky Inheritance on the map.


    "Hey, wait for me!"


    Zhou Su''er was starting to slightly regret her decision. Zhao Feng was able to move without any problem, but she felt like she was moving against a strong headwind. The ancient aura around her kept hitting her, and she couldn''t catch up to Zhao Feng''s footsteps.


    Hearing her, Zhao Feng turned around.


    As an imperial princess, Zhou Su''er definitely hadn''t undergone much hardship, and she was extremely weak. Adding on the fact that she was a doctor, her body was weaker than most normal Emperors.


    Zhao Feng waved his left hand and summoned the giant python. Zhao Feng had prepared for this; he put the two beings from the Ancient Dream Realm into the Misty Spatial World.


    "Sit," Zhao Feng said.


    Zhou Su''er''s expression changed. While this python was only a late-stage King, the fierce and deadly aura it radiated made her heart jump. However, even though the snake was fierce, Zhou Su''er had to sit on it.


    The instant she sat on the python, Zhou Su''er felt the dimension''s pressure decrease, and she thought that this was extremely weird.


    The green spotted snake was extremely fast, and Zhou Su''er journey was extremely easy. From the looks of it, it wasn''t bad being partnered with a beast tamer.


    "Zhao Feng, do you have any other steeds? I''ll trade with you." Zhou Su''er was insatiable. The snake was even faster than Zhao Feng.


    They soon entered a broad forest, and Zhao Feng found that there was a lot of fruit on the trees. Zhao Feng picked a couple and inspected them with his left eye, but their effects were nowhere near the fruits of the Ancient Dream Realm; they only had about one hundredth of the effects.


    "Come, eat a couple." Zhao Feng threw the fruits to Zhou Su''er. Although they weren''t very effective and didn''t contain a lot of ancient aura, they should still be able to help Zhou Su''er increase her resistance against the pressure.


    At this point, Zhou Su''er''s Dragon Jade was a bit brighter, most likely from absorbing the draconic providence in the air when they were travelling.


    "Zhao Feng, isn''t our route a bit off?" Zhou Su''er asked.


    "That''s right, we are a bit off." Zhao Feng didn''t disagree.


    "Why?" Zhou Su''er was puzzled. Why would they want to go off track?


    "Because we''re going to rob someone." Zhao Feng revealed an evil smile.


    Three figures suddenly jumped out from the side and saw Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er. Zhao Feng had a faint smile while Zhou Su''er paused for a moment.


    The three were all extremely wary, but they let out a breath after seeing that it was Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er.


    "It''s just members of the Ninth Prince''s team."


    The expression of a middle-aged male wearing a yellow coat softened. They were from the Sixth Prince''s group, who was ranked eighth, which wasn''t much different from the Ninth Prince''s rank. They were only scared of the teams from the princes ranked in the top five.


    "Isn''t this Grandmaster Beast Tamer Zhao Feng and the doctor? Why would the Ninth Prince put the two of you together?" A genius of the younger generation walked in front of Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er with a smug expression, and greed flashed in his eyes.


    The Sixth Prince had no intention to fight for Crown Prince, so all his members specialized in combat. They had entered the Imperial Tombs to find personal fortune, and they were all experts with strong battle-power.


    The male wearing the yellow coat knew what his companion was getting at.


    "Hand over your treasures, resources, and the draconic providence in your Dragon Jades, and I''ll let you leave!" the male wearing the yellow coat roared.


    The third member was an elder in black, and he immediately messaged the other two, "This Zhao Feng isn''t to be underestimated, and Zhou Su''er is an imperial princess. Let''s just go directly to the Dark Sky Inheritance."


    The elder in black had entered the Imperial Tombs a bit later, so he had witnessed the exchange between Zhao Feng and the black-robed person and was slightly scared of Zhao Feng.


    However, the middle-aged male wearing the yellow coat and the junior both snickered. No matter how strong Zhao Feng was, he was just a beast tamer. As for Zhou Su''er, she was a doctor, so her battle-power could be completely ignored. Furthermore, they were just taking a few items from them, so why would they need to be scared of Zhou Su''er''s identity?


    Zhou Su''er looked at Zhao Feng in a blaming way. He knew that there was danger here but came this way anyway.


    These three were all Emperors, and they had the battle-power of unrivalled Emperors at the least. You want to rob three Emperors by yourself?


    However, thinking about the fact that Zhao Feng might take out his spiritual pets to fight, Zhou Su''er felt a bit more confident.


    "Hehe, you''ve got it backwards; I''m the one robbing you. Hand over all of your resources, including the Dragon Jades." Zhao Feng laughed coldly.


    Hearing what Zhao Feng said, the young genius and the male wearing the yellow coat paused for a moment before roaring with laughter.


    "Hahahaha!"


    A beast tamer dared to say such a thing? Rob the three of them? They had heard that Zhao Feng had an extremely strong pet, but as long as they avoided it and just defeated the owner, what kind of threat could his spiritual pets pose?


    The expression of the elder in black became urgent.


    "If you''re not willing to hand over your treasures, then I''ll just have to make you waste the only chance of protection from your Dragon Jade." The young genius harrumphed coldly and felt dissatisfied.


    Each Dragon Jade contained a hidden array that could help its holder escape danger once. After using it, they would be able to teleport to their prince''s side.


    This meant that, if Zhao Feng used the hidden array in the Dragon Jade, Zhao Feng would appear right next to the Ninth Prince.


    This was one of the main reasons for the low death rate in the Imperial Tombs. Even if someone was in danger, they could use this to return to their prince''s side, but only once.


    "Go!" The eyes of the yellow-clad male went cold as a long golden blade appeared in his hand.


    If they weren''t willing to hand over their items, then he would just force them to use the protective array in their Dragon Jades.


    The young genius also started to circulate his True Yuan.


    The elder in black felt helpless and had to take action as well. He hoped that the three of them would be able to defeat Zhao Feng.


    The three Emperors released all their power, but their Magnificent Power only covered a couple hundred meters, and the undulation of their True Yuan was extremely weak.


    Everyone''s power was restricted by the pressure of the Imperial Tombs, so they could only use one twentieth of their full battle-power in the early stages.


    "Illusion Maze Domain!" Zhao Feng punched out, and the three Emperors'' minds blanked as they lost their consciousness and appeared in an ancient city. They had lost complete control over their bodies.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng''s powerful physical attack made them cough out blood.


    "Soul Chains!"


    A surge of Eye Intent brewed in Zhao Feng''s left eye, and transparent crystal-like chains of dark purple lightning passed through their souls and bound the three Emperors. The three Emperors'' souls were unable to move after being bound by the Soul Chains.


    "Don''t!" The elder in black could still fight back a little bit, and he prepared to use a secret technique.


    God Tribulation Lightning glittered on the dark purple chains of lightning and made the three Emperors cry out before losing consciousness.


    Plop!


    The three fell to the ground.


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had reached the level of a Sacred Lord, so he could threaten even Sacred Lords when he used his Soul secret techniques. Adding on the fact that the three Emperors couldn''t even use most of their power because of the dimension''s pressure, they were unable to do anything against Zhao Feng at all.


    Zhou Su''er sat on the back of the giant python with a dazed look. She originally thought that Zhao Feng would summon a spiritual pet, but he just used one punch and one glance to defeat three Emperors.


    No wonder Old Ying and the Ninth Prince let Zhao Feng be a leader. He wasn''t just a Grandmaster Beast Tamer; his personal strength was also incredible.


    Adding on the exchange between Zhao Feng and the black-robed person, Zhou Su''er believed more in Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng''s battle-power was at least comparable to the black-robed person, who instakilled a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    Zhao Feng didn''t kill the three Emperors, he only made them faint. He then went to scavenge their items. These three all came from strong forces, so they obviously had many treasures.


    "Why do you want their Dragon Jades?"


    Zhou Su''er couldn''t help but become curious when she saw Zhao Feng taking away their Dragon Jades.


    The Dragon Jade contained a hidden array that would teleport the owner to their prince. This meant that, if Zhao Feng was planning to use the array in these Dragon Jades, he would arrive next to the Sixth Prince.


    "One Dragon Jade might not be enough to store draconic providence," Zhao Feng replied.


    There was a limit to how much draconic providence each Dragon Jade could store, but not many people had ever reached this limit over the years because one had to use the draconic providence to resist the pressure of this dimension, and fights also required a large amount of draconic providence in order to increase the user''s battle-power.


    "We can also just rob the Sixth Prince if we have to," Zhao Feng thought for a moment before saying.


    While Zhao Feng sounded arrogant, what he said was technically logical. However, Zhou Su''er almost fell off the green spotted python when she heard that.


    "You want to rob a Prince?" Zhou Su''er asked in disbelief.


    One had to know that the princes were guarded by the strongest experts, and the princes themselves could use draconic providence to increase their own strength quite a bit.


    "Not right now."


    In comparison to draconic providence, Zhao Feng wanted resources.


    The inheritances of a Sacred Lord would obviously have a lot of wealth, not to mention that the Sacred Lords buried here were all imperials.


    The duo soon left after taking everything.


    The three Emperors struggled and managed to stand up after a while.


    "What''s going on? Why is he so strong?" The young genius was stunned.


    "He defeated us with just one punch and one Soul technique?" The male in yellow couldn''t believe it.


    "Did you not realize that Zhao Feng''s soul attack was extremely strong and almost completely unaffected by the restrictions of the Imperial Tombs?" The elder in black took in a deep breath.


    The other two were instantly dazed. How was that possible?


    However, when they thought about it, they realized that those words were true. Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent hadn''t been suppressed by the Imperial Tombs at all, and it utterly crushed them.

 936 Destruction

    Chapter 936 - Destruction


    "Zhao Feng, does this ancient dimension not suppress you in any way?" Zhou Su''er was already extremely suspicious, and after this battle, she became more certain. She had felt Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent back in the Saint Herb Pavilion, and she felt that it was almost the exact same just now.


    "It does suppress me to a certain degree," Zhao Feng replied.


    No matter what, the Imperial Tombs dimension was still a powerful dimension left behind from ancient times. Even though Zhao Feng had fused with some ancient aura, it''s not like he lived in the Ancient Dream Realm. He just had an acquired resistance to it.


    Zhao Feng was able to use about half of his overall battle-power in the Imperial Tombs. On the other hand, the people that had just arrived could only use one twentieth of their full battle-power.


    Everyone needed some time to get used to this place before they were able to use more of their battle-power. The higher one''s cultivation, the faster they adapted. Therefore, for a period of time, Zhao Feng would basically be invincible in the Imperial Tombs.


    "We''ve arrived at the Dark Sky Inheritance."


    Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er stopped. There was an underground entrance not far from them, and it had signs of people entering a very long time ago.


    The draconic providence in the air was a lot thicker, and the suction force of the Dragon Jade toward the draconic providence became stronger.


    Dark Sky Inheritance¡­ this inheritance had been found a long time ago, and while it was just a low-ranked inheritance, no one had ever managed to conquer it.


    Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er walked directly in, and the latter could now walk on the ground properly. The fruits and the ancient aura radiating from the green spotted snake allowed Zhou Su''er to quickly adapt to the pressure to a certain degree.


    The instant the duo walked underground, Zhao Feng knew that everything around them was a dimension in between reality and illusion.


    They had entered the Little World of the Sacred Lord before they died.


    Everything in front of them occasionally became bright, then dimmed at other times.


    Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er had arrived in a gray dimension. There were four large statues in the dimension, and all of them suddenly opened their eyes as a surge of Emperor-level aura spread.


    "I need to face four Emperors right from the beginning, and the ground seems to have a profound array drawn on it." Zhao Feng''s left eye scanned over the place.


    These four Emperors would indeed be slightly troublesome for the experts that had just arrived who could only use one twentieth of their strength.


    No wonder there were more unconquered inheritances near the edges of the Imperial Tombs. Not only were the inheritances in the center more highly ranked, and thus scarcer, but the participants would only start to move toward the center when they had adapted to the dimension and could actually use their battle-power.


    "Zhao Feng, this inheritance is slightly difficult. Are you confident that you can pass it?" Zhou Su''er was a bit puzzled. She didn''t really know Zhao Feng''s true strength.


    "Pass it? I''m not very confident," Zhao Feng said honestly, and Zhou Su''er nodded her head. It was indeed slightly difficult for one person, but if she helped, they might be able to succeed.


    However, what Zhao Feng said next made her dazed once more.


    "But I do have the confidence to destroy it."


    Excitement shone in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Boom! Boom! Boom¡­!


    The four statues thundered over and caused the ground to shake.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng flew into the air.


    "It''s time to test my Little World." Zhao Feng smiled as he circulated his Intent, and a terrifying surge of power filled the air, causing it to become chaotic.


    Boom! Hu~~~


    A dark dimension formed from destructive wind and lightning appeared in the air.


    One had to know that the Little World of a Sacred Lord wasn''t a true dimension, so if another Little World appeared in it, it would become a battle for territory between the two sides.


    Boom! Boom!


    The air started to crackle as the ground shattered.


    Zhao Feng''s Little World was created in the Ancient Dream Realm, so to a certain degree, it could be said that it was made from the Ancient Dream Realm. In other words, it was almost completely unaffected by the Imperial Tombs.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and poured the True Yuan of Wind Lightning within his Crystal Core dimension into the Little World.


    The two Little Worlds started to clash with each another.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!"


    Zhao Feng flew into the air and sent of couple golden fists toward the inheritance''s Little World.


    Crack!


    With the combined forces of Zhao Feng''s fist and Little World, a giant crack appeared in the air and started to extend.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The gray Little World instantly shattered, and the powerful Sacred Power created a storm as it swept over the underground. However, Zhao Feng''s Little World immediately merged with the air and took control of the laws and Intents, blocking all of the damage outside his Little World.


    "The power isn''t too bad."


    Zhao Feng was extremely satisfied.


    The Little World of Sacred Lord Dark Sky had been here for too long, so its foundation was weak. There was also nothing controlling it, so it was like a dead object. It was a lot more stable than a normal Sacred Lord''s Little World, but it was still weak.


    Zhou Su''er was in complete shock as she stood in Zhao Feng''s Little World. Winds blew, and lightning blasted across Heaven and Earth. The ground was filled with black wood as arcs of lightning flashed by. This was Zhao Feng''s Little World?


    Because of Zhao Feng''s Intent, she wasn''t affected by the Little World, but Zhou Su''er could feel how terrifying Zhao Feng''s Little World was. This wasn''t the Little World a normal Emperor should have.


    Above the Dark Sky Inheritance:


    "Your Highness Eleventh Prince, we''re almost at the Dark Sky Inheritance." An elder in gray robes was filled with excitement.


    "Good, I''ll be counting on you." The Eleventh Prince increased his speed.


    "Your Highness, don''t worry. A senior of the Heaven Luo Clan has been there in a previous trial, and we have spent a lot of time studying it. I am 80% confident that I will be able to solve it." The elder in gray felt proud.


    There was also a Quasi-Sacred Lord expert with them.


    The overall strength of the Eleventh Prince was ranked second to last, and he had no intention to become the Crown Prince. All he wanted to do was follow his members around and find some fortune.


    "Eleventh Prince, we''re here." The gray-robed elder was filled with joy. The Dark Sky Inheritance was still here and hadn''t been solved yet.


    However, suddenly:


    Boom! Boom! Bam~~~~!


    The ground erupted, and a storm of Sacred Power started radiating a terrifying aura. A surge of terrifying lightning then blinked out after it.


    "What a terrifying aura! Run!" the elder in gray screamed.


    "The Little World of Sacred Lord Dark Sky has been destroyed. There is definitely a Sacred Lord down there." The Quasi-Sacred Lord following the Eleventh Prince was stunned, and he immediately took the Eleventh Prince and ran.


    One had to know that any group that had a true Sacred Lord was most likely from one of the top five princes, and one also had to know that even Sacred Lords would be restricted in this dimension. If a Sacred Lord was still able to release such power in this dimension and destroy a Little World, how strong would they be?


    At this moment, within the Great Gan Imperial Palace, the stone tablet filled with weird symbols and marks floated in the air radiated a unique undulation.


    Around the stone tablet were ten big white screens. At the very center of each screen was a prince.


    "The Fourth Prince has already found a high-ranked inheritance!" an expert in the clouds exclaimed.


    According to the image on the screen, the inheritance was from someone who was at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm at the least.


    "Good, that black-robed person isn''t with Chen''er, and Chen''er has gone to the inheritance I told him to go to." A powerful male within the hall of the Thirteenth Prince had a faint smile.


    "The Sixth Prince is running around blindly and has met a group of beasts." Many experts laughed in their hearts.


    The trial to become Crown Prince had been around from the beginning of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, and it had a history of hundreds of millions of years. The trial to become Crown Prince was controlled by the Grand Imperial Hall, and apparently, the upper echelon members of the Grand Imperial Hall could affect what happened in the Imperial Tombs from the outside world.


    The pseudo Crown Prince Seals had been modified by the imperials so that they could be connected to the outside world. Because of this, what happened within a certain range of the pseudo Crown Prince Seal could be seen in the outside world, but the images were slightly blurry.


    Having this ability protected the princes to a certain degree, and it allowed the forces and families waiting outside to see what was happening in the Imperial Tombs.


    "The Eleventh Prince has also found an inheritance!" someone exclaimed, and everyone looked over.


    However, the inheritance in the Eleventh Prince''s screen suddenly exploded, and a storm ravaged across Heaven and Earth, making the images even blurrier. The Eleventh Prince and the other two members immediately started to run.


    The spectating experts around the great hall instantly took in a deep breath.


    "What strength! Which Sacred Lord managed to crush the Little World of an inheritance?"


    "Could it be that the source of energy of that Little World run out?"


    "No, there were obviously two different powers there. I saw lightning."


    "How savage! They just destroyed the tests within the Little World to take the inheritance and draconic providence."


    "This has to be Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning from Sky Suspension Palace."


    Everyone exclaimed.


    Due to the screens, everyone understood the Imperial Tombs to a certain degree. The pressure of the dimension was extremely strong, so those that had just entered would be heavily suppressed, and yet this mysterious expert still managed to destroy the Little World of the Sacred Lord''s inheritance.


    "Unfortunately, the Eleventh Prince ran away in a hurry and didn''t see who it was."


    After the Little World of Sacred Lord Dark Sky was destroyed, a tomb appeared in front of Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er. The Dragon Jades on Zhao Feng''s and Zhou Su''er''s bodies instantly started to suck in the draconic providence nearby.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng started to collect the objects that Sacred Lord Dark Sky had left behind.


    "The wealth of an imperial Sacred Lord is indeed different."


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the interspatial ring of Sacred Lord Dark Sky and started to smile.


    "Hmm? There''s a unique flower from the ancient era?"


    Joy appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    Although this was an ancient dimension, most of the grasses and trees here were the same as the outside world. Over a hundred million years, because of all the princes discovering everything, all the rare herbs became even rarer and usually only existed in some forbidden places.


    "Let''s go to the next inheritance," Zhao Feng said after collecting everything.


    Zhou Su''er paused for a moment. She felt that everything she just experienced was a lot different from what she first imagined.


    There was no danger or difficulty. She didn''t even need to do anything; Zhao Feng could finish everything himself.


    After returning to the surface, Zhao Feng suddenly leapt onto a tree, and his left eye radiated a Soul power.


    A flying beast in the sky was just enslaved by Zhao Feng.

 937 Beast Pack

    Chapter 937 - Beast Pack


    After returning to the surface, the duo started heading toward the next inheritance.


    Right now, Zhao Feng was only heading toward the inheritances of beginning-stage Sacred Lords. Destroying the Little Worlds would allow them to gather the draconic providence, resources, and treasure much more easily than actually undergoing the test.


    Zhao Feng had now destroyed three beginning-stage Sacred Lord inheritances. Zhou Su''er''s Dragon Jade glittered with a warm light, and the outline of a dragon could be seen. This meant that the draconic providence in it was extremely plentiful.


    In this period of time, Zhao Feng had also robbed three more groups, and he didn''t even give them time to use the array in their Dragon Jades. Zhao Feng had completely suppressed all of them and taken everything off them.


    This meant that Zhao Feng now had seven Dragon Jades.


    "It''ll be a lot harder from now on," Zhao Feng said with a sigh.


    Two days had passed in the Imperial Tombs, and most of the people that had entered were used to the dimension''s pressure by now and could use most of their battle-power.


    It would be difficult for Zhao Feng to instantly suppress them now. As long as there was a slight instant, they could use the array in their Dragon Jades to escape, and there was nothing to be gained from offending them if he couldn''t take their stuff.


    Boom~~!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and destroyed another inheritance with the help of his Little World of Wind Lightning. The air nearby went dark as lightning hummed and created a storm that blew over everything.


    "Let''s head toward the center."


    Zhao Feng''s left eye gazed into the distance and could see what others couldn''t.


    The resources of beginning-stage Sacred Lords couldn''t satisfy Zhao Feng anymore, and there were only a few items that were useful to him.


    "Sure, the edges are too boring." Zhou Su''er agreed with him, which made Zhao Feng speechless. All she had done so far was sit on the giant snake without doing anything, so of course she would find it boring.


    The closer they got to the center of the Imperial Tombs, the more dangerous it became. The inheritances were almost all created by early-stage Sacred Lords or even late-stage Sacred Lords, and Zhao Feng had to actually undergo the tests now.


    Furthermore, the beasts here had touched more draconic providence and posed some threat now. Some places were marked as forbidden areas and had a high death rate.


    "Our target is the Imperial Sky Inheritance. This is an inheritance created by a late-stage Sacred Lord and was found by a prince in the last trial, but he didn''t manage to pass through it."


    Zhao Feng inspected his map.


    Although this inheritance had only been discovered in the previous trial and went unconquered, that didn''t mean it was difficult. Some inheritances were discovered a dozen trials ago and went unconquered for various reasons.


    The duo started their journey after they came to an agreement. They would need roughly five days to reach the Imperial Sky Inheritance, and Zhou Su''er was responsible for picking herbs.


    The normal herbs within the ancient dimension were several times more effective than those of the outside world, and if they could find some herbs that were extinct in the outside world, they would be extremely valuable.


    Apart from rare herbs, they also met fierce beasts. Some King beasts even refused to leave despite Zhao Feng revealing his Emperor aura.


    "A pack of Wind Wolves! Why did you come here!?" Zhou Su''er''s expression changed as she called out. It was completely possible for them to avoid this pack of Wind Wolves if they wanted to. Old Ying had already marked which places had Wind Wolf packs.


    Most of them were early-stage Kings, and one of them was a Wolf King. Under the Wolf King''s leadership, the battle-power of the Wind Wolf pack was even more terrifying.


    "What''s there to be scared of? I''m a beast tamer," Zhao Feng said. The instant they approached the pack of Wind Wolves, countless Wind Wolves surrounded them.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng instantly circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and released his Emperor Magnificent Power and his lightning.


    The wolves'' formation was instantly broken, and the wolves that were below the Void God Realm knelt on the ground and retreated with shaking bodies.


    At this moment, a heart-shaking howl appeared.


    Wu~~~~


    This wolf cry was like a drug to the other Wind Wolves when they heard it. The Wind Wolves revealed a cruel and cold light in their eyes and stopped retreating. They started to slowly gather, and they completely blocked Zhao Feng''s Emperor Magnificent Power. If Zhao Feng revealed any flaws, they would immediately attack him.


    At the same moment, a gust of wind blew, and a black wolf more than a dozen meters tall appeared in front of Zhao Feng. There was a flashing red light in its eyes, and its silver-white claws were extremely sharp as they stabbed toward Zhao Feng at a speed that others wouldn''t be able to react to.


    "Mental Energy Spike!"


    A cold purple crystal-like spike shot out from Zhao Feng''s left eye and pierced into the Wolf King''s soul.


    Wu~~~~~


    The Wolf King cried out in pain. The Mental Energy Spike had been refined, and it now contained an immortal and undying God Tribulation Lightning Eye Intent.


    The Wolf King lost control of its body and fell to the side, but it immediately stood back up and glared fiercely at Zhao Feng with anger and unwillingness.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng murmured.


    All his soul attacks now contained the damage of God Tribulation Lightning, but this Wolf King could stand back up even after being stabbed by his Mental Energy Spike. As expected, the beasts here couldn''t be measured by normal standards.


    Zhao Feng also felt that the Intent of this Wolf King was extremely strong and refined, or else it wouldn''t be able to control such a large wolf pack. He could definitely use such a beast, and it would be a great asset. No wonder each prince had a spot specifically for beast tamers in their team. However, even Grandmaster Beast Tamers would find it difficult to tame the beasts here.


    Wu~~~~


    The Wolf King suddenly howled at the sky, and the nearby Wind Wolves turned into black figures that charged over without hesitation.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly as he spread his Little World of Wind Lightning and merged it into the air. The sky went dark as wind and lightning intertwined with one another.


    The speed and power of all the Wind Wolves within Zhao Feng''s Little World decreased. Those that got within a certain range of Zhao Feng would be hit by the power of Wind Lightning.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng condensed his eye-bloodline power and released a surge of fire.


    Voom!


    A half-transparent dark purple Eye Flame with the destructive power of God Tribulation Lightning whistled through the air and exploded on the Wolf King''s head.


    Plop!


    The Wolf King fell once again. The Wind Lightning Eye Flame affected both the physical and soul dimensions and had a burning effect. Its power was terrifying, especially when it was used in conjunction with the God Tribulation Lightning.


    "Dark Heart Seal!"


    While the Wolf King was struggling, Zhao Feng circulated his Eye Intent and slowly imprinted the Dark Heart Seal into the Wolf King''s soul.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng took back his Little World of Wind Lightning.


    At this moment, the Wolf King stood obediently next to Zhao Feng, and the Wind Wolves stopped their attacks.


    Controlling the Wolf King was the same as controlling all of the Wind Wolves.


    Zhao Feng picked up the Dragon Jade, and all the draconic providence within the Wolf King''s body entered the Dragon Jade. At the same time, the draconic providence of every Wind Wolf slowly gathered toward him as well.


    The beasts here also had draconic providence, but since there were so many and they were all very fierce, most people wouldn''t try to gather draconic providence by hunting beasts. They would usually just focus on inheritances.


    However, Zhao Feng didn''t really require any time or effort. As long as he enslaved the Wolf King, he could obtain the draconic providence of every Wind Wolf, and the total amount of draconic providence from the pack was close to the draconic providence from the inheritance of a beginning-stage Sacred Lord.


    At the same instant, Zhao Feng just obtained more battle-power. The Wolf King was a Void God Realm Emperor and could threaten unrivalled Emperors with its wolf pack.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng waved his left hand, and all the Wind Wolves entered the Misty Spatial World.


    Zhou Su''er watched the entire process in shock. She finally witnessed Zhao Feng''s beast taming abilities.


    Such a young Grandmaster Beast Tamer and such skill made one click their tongue. Even the most famous Grandmaster Beast Tamers in the lord dynasty wouldn''t be able to tame an Emperor-level Wolf King so easily. The beasts within this ancient dimension were fierce and deadly. They couldn''t be compared to normal beasts.


    Zhou Su''er revealed a smile.


    "Zhao Feng, I want to change steeds," Zhou Su''er''s soft voice suddenly sounded.


    Zhao Feng looked at Zhou Su''er and summoned the Wolf King. The Wolf King was extremely unwilling, but it finally let Zhou Su''er ride on it.


    Zhao Feng felt that this was better. It''s not like they could feign weakness anyway, since that would only make people more suspicious of them.


    Over the next five days, Zhao Feng headed toward various nearby beast hordes while evading other cultivators.


    The results were good. Zhao Feng managed to enslave two more groups of beasts: a group of Red-Faced Ice Snakes and a group of Black Venom Scorpions.


    As long as he enslaved the leaders of the beasts, Zhao Feng would be able to control the entire group of beasts and obtain all their draconic providence.


    However, not every beast group was the same. When the strongest expert of a certain group lost, the remaining beasts all ran away, and Zhao Feng just gave up on them. Apart from those two beast groups, Zhao Feng also enslaved two strong individual beasts.


    Zhou Su''er witnessed all of this and was numb to it by now. She started to think about what the outcome would be if someone offended Zhao Feng.


    "Imperial Sky Inheritance!"


    The two stopped and looked at the magnificent palace. This magnificent palace was a Little World; this was the first time Zhao Feng had seen a Little World in the shape of a building.


    He could hear people speaking and fighting within it. This meant that many people were already here.


    "The technique of a Sacred Lord at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm is indeed different." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    The two were just about to enter when they heard a voice behind them.


    "Zhao Feng?"


    Zhao Feng turned around and saw two purple-haired males and a muscular male in black clothes slowly walk over. The two purple-haired males had eyes full of faint purple stars, almost as if they could charm anyone. They inspected Zhao Feng closely.


    The one that had called out Zhao Feng''s name was one of the purple-haired males, and his purple hair was cut short.


    "You can leave. The Imperial Sky Inheritance is ours."


    The other purple-haired male had slightly longer hair, and he revealed a playful smile as a light flashed through his purple eyes.


    The purple-haired male with short hair looked at the Wolf King that Zhou Su''er was sitting on with interest.


    The muscular male walked over slowly behind the two of them, and his powerful aura made the black hair of the Wolf King stand on end, and it instinctively retreated.


    The muscular male glanced at Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er before walking straight toward the Imperial Sky Inheritance. He completely ignored them.

 938 Opening the Way

    Chapter 938 - Opening the Way


    Zhao Feng remembered all of the members present during the fights for the positions. The two purple-haired middle-aged people were geniuses of the Ji Family from an older generation, while the muscular male in black clothes was a Sacred Lord from the Cao Family. None of these three had to defend their positions.


    "Wait for me here. If there''s any danger, just use the array in the Dragon Jade," Zhao Feng ordered as he looked at the three slowly heading into the Imperial Sky Inheritance.


    "You''re really going to go?" Zhou Su''er was worried. She was just thinking about what would happen if someone offended Zhao Feng, but she was starting to regret it.


    The Cao Family and the Ji Family were both members of the Eight Big Families, and they supported the 4th-ranked Eighth Prince.


    The purple-haired male with short hair was a famous Grandmaster Beast Tamer ¨C Ji Bai ¨C while the muscular male in black clothes was Cao Zhang, also known as Sacred Lord Hundred Refined. Apparently, he had cultivated and refined a hundred peak Earth-grade techniques to the maximum, and he was a peerless prodigy of the Cao Family''s older generation.


    Their group had a Grandmaster Beast Tamer with the powerful Purple Star Eyes bloodline, and they also had the terrifying battle-power of Sacred Lord Hundred Refined. While Zhao Feng might be outstanding in every aspect and easily surpassed unrivalled Emperors, he was certainly not a match for such a combination.


    Zhou Su''er started to regret choosing to be a healer.


    "En." Zhao Feng gave a simple reply and didn''t give an explanation.


    Seeing Zhao Feng acting so calm, Zhou Su''er thought that she might be underestimating him.


    Within the inheritance, Ji Bai laughed coldly; "Ji Dengtian, that brat has come in on his own."


    "That''s good. I will defeat him with my Purple Star Eyes."


    Ji Dengtian had a proud expression and cold eyes.


    The Ji Family had originally joined the Ninth Prince, but after Sacred Lord Star Demon learned that Zhao Feng was a member of the Ninth Prince''s team, they immediately left and joined the Eighth Prince''s faction. The reason he did this was because "your eye-bloodline techniques are no match for Zhao Feng, so you definitely won''t be able to get the spot."


    The younger disciples of the Ji Family spent all day talking about Zhao Feng''s mysterious eye-bloodline techniques.


    "I will let that brat learn how terrifying the Purple Star Eyes are and that the Ji Family is the family with the strongest eye-bloodlines."


    Ever since Ji Dengtian started cultivating, he had never lost against an eye-bloodline outside the Ji Family. He would never admit that his eye-bloodline techniques weren''t a match for a late-stage King junior.


    "Hehe, I heard that Zhao Feng joined the Crown Prince trial with the position of beast tamer." Excitement flashed through Ji Bai''s eyes.


    "Stop talking about useless stuff. He''s just a King-level junior." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined, who was at the front, snickered coldly.


    "Sacred Lord Hundred Refined, you might not know about this, but Zhao Feng has a Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly." Ji Bai gave a wicked smile.


    "Oh?" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s footsteps stopped, and his eyebrows furrowed. It was obvious that even Sacred Lords weren''t able to resist the temptation of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    "But he shouldn''t have used the array in his Dragon Jade yet, so if we take action hastily, it will ruin our chance," Ji Bai continued.


    Their voices had faded. It was obvious that they were now talking with their Divine Sense.


    While the shape of the Imperial Sky Inheritance was a palace, after they entered, there was an old wide path. This old wide path was covered in sand, and it was extremely long. No one could see where it ended or where it led.


    In the depths of this pathway:


    Boom! Bam!


    Six experts were fighting against countless human-shaped sandstone monsters. There were more and more sandstone monsters in front of them in a never-ending horde.


    "Xue Yuan, I can''t do it anymore. Who knows how much further this path goes?" A short Emperor who had expended a lot of True Yuan spoke in a low tone.


    "It is indeed not enough with just two groups." Xue Yuan looked at the members of the Twelfth Prince''s group. Their situation wasn''t much better.


    They had been fighting with these sandstone monsters ever since they entered the Imperial Sky Inheritance, and while these monsters only had the strength of a half-step King, everyone''s strength was currently suppressed in this ancient dimension.


    The path here had been extremely difficult. They had slain six or seven hundred sandstone monsters at the least, but the path ahead of them was still pitch-black. They could only see countless sandstone monsters.


    "Another group has arrived!" someone exclaimed.


    "They''re members of the Eighth Prince''s group¡­ the Cao and Ji Families!"


    "It''s Sacred Lord Hundred Refined from the Cao Family!"


    "Hold on! The group from the Cao and Ji Families are coming. We will definitely be able to break through now," Xue Yuan encouraged the short Emperor next to him as excitement shone in his eyes.


    With the help of a Sacred Lord, they would be able to easily kill these monsters.


    Hu~~


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was like a black meteor as he summoned a storm and crashed into several dozen sandstone monsters. The pressure of a Sacred Lord was unleashed and swept across the place like a tornado.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Countless sandstone monsters cried out as their bodies crumbled and turned into sand.


    "All of you, leave the Imperial Sky Inheritance!" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined turned around and looked at the six people. His voice was cold and forceful. The supreme aura of a Sacred Lord made the six Emperors unable to stand or breathe properly.


    "If you stay here, we might accidentally kill you." Ji Bai slowly walked over, and his wicked laughter resounded throughout the pathway. He waved his hands, and countless dark green snakes appeared. They had scaly armor that glittered with a cold light.


    "You¡­!" Xue Yuan was filled with anger. They had spent a lot of time and effort to reach this place. None of them were willing to leave the Imperial Sky Inheritance just like that, but they were all extremely tired from the battle. Even if were at their full strength, these six wouldn''t be a match for the Cao and Ji Families. The difference between their groups and the groups of the top five princes was just too big.


    "Let''s go." Xue Yuan harrumphed coldly and left with the other two members of his group.


    The other group could only give up as well. There were a lot of inheritances in the Imperial Tombs, and they had plenty of chances elsewhere.


    "Xue Yuan, which inheritance are we going to next?" an elder in white robes asked with a faint smile. Although these two groups weren''t behind the same prince, they had reached this place together, and they felt a certain bond after being kicked out together by the Eighth Prince''s group.


    "Let''s go to a smaller inheritance. We won''t get any share from a big inheritance." Xue Yuan sighed.


    They felt helpless against the members of the top five princes. The foundation and strength of the Eight Big Families weren''t something normal three-star powers could compare to.


    "Hmm? There''s someone in front of us," someone said with surprise.


    A youth with golden hair and a golden eye slowly walked over.


    "Hand over two Dragon Jades and I''ll let you guys go." Zhao Feng revealed a smile as he stood in the middle of their path like a bandit.


    "What?"


    The six were slightly dazed as they recognized Zhao Feng, and they made sure that their ears were functioning properly. All of them knew a bit about Zhao Feng. The beast tamer on the Ninth Prince''s team apparently had a spiritual pet with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, but a mere late-stage Void God Realm beast tamer robbing six Emperors would make many people laugh to death.


    "Zhao Feng, hand over the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly or immediately use the array in your Dragon Jade and leave." Xue Yuan''s eyes were cold as he walked forward. After being kicked out by the experts of the Cao and Ji Families, he was filled with anger and had nowhere to unleash it, but an ignorant junior suddenly arrived.


    Hearing that, the other five revealed playful smiles as they walked over as well.


    "Looks like you''re not going to give me the Dragon Jades then." Zhao Feng''s golden eye scanned over the six, and their hearts shook. The eye seemed to be able to look through everything.


    Xue Yuan''s eyebrows furrowed. He felt like something was amiss, but he was frustrated at the same time.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re courting death!" An Emperor with a short temper cursed and was about to attack.


    "Hmph, Sacred Lightning Body!" Zhao Feng stepped forward, and his body became taller. A golden-blue light radiated from his body as he seemed to turn into a miniature golden giant. At the same time, a barrier of lightning condensed around the surface of his body. Lightning flashed and wind howled.


    The Emperor''s palm landed on Zhao Feng''s barrier of lightning, but his attack was completely dissolved. At the same time, a strong repelling force and countless bolts of lightning pushed him back a dozen meters and made him cough out a mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground and looked at Zhao Feng in fear.


    Under the pressure of Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body, the other five felt as if they had been hit by a hammer, and their blood started to boil. A numbing sensation coursed through their bodies.


    "What a strong body! He managed to ignore the attack of an Emperor and even counterattack!"


    "This momentum and aura are close to a Sacred Lord!"


    "How is this possible? He''s only a late-stage King. How is he able to unleash such battle-power when he''s being suppressed by the ancient dimension?"


    Everyone was shocked and puzzled.


    The feeling Zhao Feng gave them was the exact same as Sacred Lord Hundred Refined. They felt helpless and could only do what he said.


    Xue Yuan was completely shocked as he looked at the calm Zhao Feng. In the information he had received, it said that Zhao Feng''s physical defense was extremely strong, but he didn''t expect it to be this strong.


    On top of that, there were rumors that Zhao Feng specialized in Soul eye-bloodline techniques, and he definitely had spiritual pets that specialized in fighting for him as well if he was able to enter this place with the position of beast tamer.


    "We''re willing to hand over one Dragon Jade," Xue Yuan said through gritted teeth.


    One Dragon Jade wasn''t really a big deal for them. The prince they supported had no intention of becoming the Crown Prince, so there wasn''t much point in collecting Dragon Providence. It was better to just give away one jade since it would be a waste for their entire group to use their life-saving technique right now. Xue Yuan took a Dragon Jade from another member and handed it to Zhao Feng.


    The elder in white walked over to the Emperor that Zhao Feng had sent flying, took the Dragon Jade from him, and gave it to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng took the Dragon Jades, then headed forward without bothering them.


    "I can only blackmail them now." Zhao Feng sighed. Everyone was starting to get used to this place. The six Emperors just now could use 30% of their full battle-power.


    "The path in this inheritance is extremely long. I''ll let them open the way for me." A gold light flashed through Zhao Feng''s left eye as he looked into the distance and continued to walk forward at a leisurely pace.


    Within the depths of the old pathway, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was like a black tornado that shredded every sandstone monster wherever he went.


    "Blazing Sky Force Punch!"


    "Sky Silk Shadowless Step!"


    "Golden Kun Finger!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The three advanced forward very quickly and only left a trail of yellow sand behind.


    "Will that brat come?" Ji Dengtian stopped and turned around.


    "He''s coming, but he''s following at a very slow speed. From the looks of it, he wants us to open the way for him while he does nothing," Ji Bai said with an evil smile after carefully sensing around.


    "Hehe, as long as he comes, he can take anything he wants¡­ if he has the ability to do so." Ji Dengtian laughed coldly.

 939 Lightning-Quick Attacks

    Chapter 939 - Lightning-Quick Attacks


    "Old Ying, we''ve already conquered two inheritances now." The Ninth Prince was slightly excited. The pseudo Crown Prince Seal in his hands gave off a white-and-gold glow of light, and it had the faint outline of a dragon on it. They hadn''t met any beast packs or anyone other cultivators in the process.


    With the help of Old Ying''s information and analysis, they were able to conquer the inheritances very easily.


    Jing Kai watched Old Ying''s performance and completely looked up to him. Jing Kai felt like, if he was a bit stronger, their speed would have been even faster, so he kept using his draconic providence to increase his strength in their spare time.


    "I wonder how the other two groups are doing?" Jing Kai was slightly worried. After all, his group had Old Ying, who was an experienced and strong senior who knew a lot of information, but the others didn''t.


    "Shen Jizi''s group might have even gained even more," Old Ying said.


    Those that cultivated the Dao of Destiny weren''t to be underestimated, and Shen Jizi also knew a lot about Mechanisms. Su Qingling and Shi Yulei were also very suitable for conquering inheritances, and the chance of meeting other people in random unpopular inheritances was quite low. Therefore, Shen Jizi''s group should be the safest.


    On the other hand, even though Old Ying had received some information and heard some stories about Zhao Feng from the Ninth Prince and believed in his abilities, he still couldn''t see through Zhao Feng.


    "I think that Zhao Feng probably hasn''t gone to any inheritances and has most likely gone to tame beasts. This will increase his battle-power, and he''ll obtain some draconic providence at the same time," Jing Kai said after thinking for a moment. The group that he thought the worst of was obviously Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er.


    "If that''s the case, that would be good because a large number of beasts will be useful for the next stage."


    The key point was whether or not Zhao Feng would actually do that. They had troubled him by handing over Zhou Su''er to him, who was useless at this stage of the trial.


    Old Ying revealed a rare smile. At least for now, no one had used the Dragon Jade''s safety feature. This was the best situation that he could''ve hoped for. As long as they treaded carefully, the Ninth Prince had a little hope.


    Within the Imperial Sky Inheritance, Zhao Feng casually walked forward while inspecting his surroundings with his left eye.


    This inheritance''s Little World was a lot different than the Little World of a beginning-stage Sacred Lord''s inheritance. Everything here gave off a very realistic feeling, and Zhao Feng had already traveled a few miles into it and was still within the Little World. There might be a couple dozen or even a couple hundred miles more ahead of him. This meant that Sacred Lord Imperial Sky had fused some profound Space laws into his Little World.


    Unfortunately, Zhao Feng knew nothing about Space laws.


    "Hm? Their speed has slowed down." Zhao Feng''s left eye looked at the situation of the three ahead of him. The human-shaped sandstone monsters were bigger now, and they were early-stage Kings instead of half-step Kings.


    "There''s someone here!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed. His left eye saw four figures at the entrance of the Imperial Sky Inheritance.


    Due to the laws of the Little World, Zhao Feng''s left eye wasn''t able to see who it was, but if there were four people in one group, they must be supporters of a prince that had a lot of slots ¨C one of the top five.


    If this group was also part of the Eighth Prince''s team, then it would be over for him.


    "In that case, I''ll just finish off the three in front."


    Zhao Feng had a decisive gaze. He really wanted the inheritance of this late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord, and he shouldn''t be far from the end.


    A pair of Scarlet Lightning Wings several yards wide formed behind Zhao Feng''s back and instantly increased his speed. He turned into a ball of red light and flashed forward.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    "Blazing Sun Force Punch!"


    "Rampant Imperial Finger!"


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was the main force while Ji Dengtian and Ji Bai supported him. The three pushed forward extremely quickly, but the further they got, the stronger these sandstone monsters became. After expending a lot of energy, their progress started to slow down as well.


    "Looks like we underestimated this inheritance," Ji Bai said with furrowed eyebrows. He had lost 10% of the spiritual pets he had prepared in the outside world, and it was hard to tame the beasts native to this dimension.


    Without the help of an expert, the success rate of taming was even lower. However, if they did that, it would waste everyone''s time, so Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s group set their eyes on the inheritances.


    "There''s nothing I can do. After all, we don''t specialize in physical attacks," Ji Dengtian said helplessly. He was the most useless here.


    If the two of them specialized in physical combat, then they might have already conquered this inheritance. Luckily, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined had such great battle-power; he was like a black tornado that caused sand to scatter everywhere wherever he passed.


    "Hmm? Behind us?" Ji Bai sensed something and turned around. A scarlet-red streak of light was flying over at extreme speed.


    "Zhao Feng? So fast¡­! How is this possible!?" Ji Bai''s expression faltered. Zhao Feng''s current speed was even faster than Sacred Lord Hundred Refined.


    "Zhao Feng''s coming. Senior Cao Zhang, let''s act as planned," Ji Dengtian messaged.


    "Zhao Feng, you¡­" Ji Bai was about to greet Zhao Feng, but he felt that something was off. Zhao Feng was approaching at an extremely fast speed, and he wasn''t slowing down at all. The True Yuan undulation radiating from him meant that he was going to attack.


    What was going on? Ji Bai paused for a moment; Zhao Feng was going to attack them? What the heck was going on? This was completely different from his plan. Where did Zhao Feng find the courage to attack them?


    Their original plan was completely foiled, and they didn''t know what to do. Ji Bai instinctively reacted and controlled some of the jade-green pythons to attack Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, what is the meaning of this!?" Ji Bai roared.


    "Hehe." Zhao Feng revealed a cold smile. "Sacred Lightning Body!"


    Zhao Feng''s body grew taller, and he released gold-and-blue arcs of lightning as he turned into a ball of giant golden lightning and charged at Ji Bai. The jade-green pythons on the ground were completely suppressed by Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body before they were even able to get close, and they were unable to move.


    "How is this possible!? Ji Bai''s face was filled with shock. He had spent a lot of time and money to find and buy these jade-green pythons. Each one of them was a rare late-stage King beast that had a tough body, but they weren''t even able to approach Zhao Feng?


    All of this happened within two breaths.


    Ji Bai quickly opened a spiritual pet bag as Zhao Feng approached.


    Boom!


    A large "mountain monster" landed in the center of the pathway and completely blocked the path between Zhao Feng and Ji Bai.


    Part of this mountain monster''s body was crystal-like; it was obviously a mutated beast.


    The mountain monster put its hands together and thrust out toward Zhao Feng.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!'' Zhao Feng unleashed bolts of golden lightning that hammered onto the mountain monster like giant metal rods.


    Boom! Bam!


    The mountain monster''s hands were completely shattered by Zhao Feng.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng once against formed a punch and aimed it at the mountain monster''s head. Several beams of light formed the shape of a fist and shot upward.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and transformed into a surge of scarlet-and-white lightning that charged forward.


    Boom!


    Ji Bai thought that the mountain monster would definitely be able to kill Zhao Feng, but the next instant, the mountain monster''s head exploded, and a bolt of scarlet-gold lightning shot toward him.


    The powerful physical pressure and lightning made Ji Bai''s face go white before the bolt even arrived. A feeling of death that he had never felt before instantly spread throughout Ji Bai''s body and made him lose the ability to move.


    "Junior, you''re too arrogant," Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s deep voice sounded.


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was going to follow Ji Bai''s plan and ignore Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng decided to come to them instead. He was also dazed by this; after all, they had already planned how to take Zhao Feng''s Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, and they couldn''t give Zhao Feng the chance to use the Dragon Jade and run away.


    Although he didn''t know what was going on with Ji Bai, he had to stop it.


    Hu~


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined moved in a unique manner and became a streak of black light that instantly arrived next to Ji Bai.


    "Blazing Sky Force Punch!" A fist ablaze with black flames shot out, and it contained the power to split Heaven and Earth.


    "Sacred Lightning Protection!" A barrier of Wind Lightning and Sacred Lightning Body force formed around Zhao Feng''s body. The howl of wind and the hum of lightning could be heard.


    Boom! Weng~~~


    The flaming fist hit Zhao Feng''s body, but it was blocked by the barrier and caused lightning to crackle.


    Beng~~ Crack!


    The barrier of lightning released a brilliant flash that pushed the blazing fist aside.


    Zhao Feng estimated that the Sacred Lord Hundred Refined could currently use 40% of his full strength, so Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body and defensive secret techniques were more than enough to block this move.


    "What!? This junior¡­?" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s expression changed.


    Zhao Feng had cultivated a powerful defensive secret technique that merged his physical force and lightning together, and it actually managed to block his attack. How was this possible!? The skill of a Sacred Lord had been blocked by a junior at the Void God Realm?


    "Purple Star Illusion Domain!" The eyes of Ji Dengtian, who was currently behind Ji Bai, blinked with a dreamy purple haze, and a surge of powerful Soul Intent shot toward Zhao Feng.


    In an instant, tall purple walls started to appear around Zhao Feng, the sky went dark, and an evil purple moon floated in the air as purple mist surrounded the area.


    However, Zhao Feng''s eyes seemed to see through everything, and he simply charged at the wall ahead of him without reducing speed.


    Boom!


    The purple wall crumbled, and a large building appeared before Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng gave a faint smile; Ji Dengtian must''ve lost his mind trying to cast an illusion on him.


    While others might have only seen this thing as a building, Zhao Feng''s left eye could see that it was actually Ji Bai.


    Hu~~ Boom!


    Zhao Feng charged over with a flash of lightning.


    Seeing Zhao Feng''s faint smile and how he was still charging over, Ji Bai instantly started to circulate his True Yuan.


    Weng~~


    A profound array within the Dragon Jade started to expand. A layer of draconic providence covered Ji Bai''s body, and he disappeared with a flash.


    "Do you want to leave by yourself, or do you want me to send you there?" After missing his attack, Zhao Feng floated in the air and smiled faintly toward Ji Dengtian.


    At this moment, Ji Dengtian was still in shock. He didn''t understand why his illusion was completely useless on Zhao Feng. How was it possible!?" Zhao Feng was definitely in the illusion, but he had seen through everything.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve angered me. I will personally send you to your grave." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined had an enraged expression, and killing intent appeared in his eyes.

 940 Close Comba

    Chapter 940 - Close Combat


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve angered me. I will personally send you to your grave." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined had an enraged expression, and killing intent appeared in his eyes.


    Even though he had tried to stop Zhao Feng, Ji Bai still had to use the Dragon Jade to escape. Furthermore, his opponent was just a junior who was still at the Void God Realm. No Sacred Lord would be able to withstand this kind of humiliation.


    Even if Zhao Feng used the array in his Dragon Jade to escape at this point, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined would chase after him until he killed Zhao Feng in order to wash away the shame.


    At this moment, Ji Dengtian almost recovered, and he started to panic.


    "Do you want to leave by yourself, or do you want me to send you away personally?"


    Zhao Feng''s words meant that Ji Dengtian was the next target. Although he didn''t believe Zhao Feng had that ability, his heart felt uneasy for some reason.


    "Sacred Lord Hundred Refined, kill him!"


    Hu~~


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined moved in a unique manner and radiated the pressure of a Sacred Lord, destroying the walls around them.


    "Rampant Imperial Finger! Ascension Kick!"


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined used two techniques at once, and countless leg phantoms made of Sacred power flashed around Zhao Feng and restricted his ability to move. At the same time, a giant finger made of golden light shot forward with a rampant aura.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!"


    Zhao Feng used the Scarlet Wings of Lightning to release a surge of True Yuan and propel himself upward. He thrust out his fists, and countless giant fists made of golden lightning clashed heavily against Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s attack. Using this force to push himself back, Zhao Feng flapped his Scarlet Wings of Lightning and shot toward Ji Dengtian.


    "How is that possible!?" Fear finally appeared on Ji Dengtian''s face. The power that Zhao Feng''s punch displayed was comparable to Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s technique, and Zhao Feng even had a profound flying technique.


    I can''t let him get close to me!


    "Purple Star Daze!"


    Ji Dengtian''s eyes flashed with purple, and a large source of Soul eye-bloodline power shot toward Zhao Feng.


    As a peerless genius of the Ji Family''s previous generation, he obviously knew more than just illusions. If illusions were useless, then he would just use something else.


    Zhao Feng instantly sensed something; his thoughts and his control over his body were reduced. His senses toward the outside world dropped as well, and the Scarlet Wings of Lightning occasionally dimmed, which was due to his True Yuan not circulating properly.


    "A mental energy technique that creates chaos in the soul and senses?"


    Zhao Feng was surprised. This technique was similar to his Eye of Ice Soul, but the direction it took was different.


    The Eye of Ice Soul froze the opponent''s soul and also affected the physical dimension to some degree, but it required a bloodline with the element of Ice. The Purple Star Daze created chaos in the opponent''s soul, and it was a more profound and skillful attack focused entirely on the soul.


    After re-cultivating, Zhao Feng had placed greater importance on his Sacred Lightning Body and the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. The power of the Ice-Water bloodline had started to drop mainly because its techniques weren''t able to catch up to Zhao Feng''s progress anymore. On the other hand, Ji Dengtian''s Purple Star Daze was rather suitable for Zhao Feng.


    Seeing Zhao Feng''s speed falter for a moment, a smug expression appeared on Ji Dengtian''s face.


    "This brat is only slightly resilient against illusions, but he probably hasn''t ever seen an illusion technique that can cause chaos amongst mental energy before," Ji Dengtian mocked.


    After Zhao Feng was hit by the Purple Star Gaze, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined would be able to finish him off easily.


    However, lightning suddenly flashed around Zhao Feng. Countless symbols of God Tribulation Lightning in Zhao Feng''s condensed purple soul blinked like meteorites falling through the night.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The faint purple Soul power that had entered Zhao Feng''s soul was utterly destroyed by Zhao Feng''s immortal and undying God Tribulation Lightning. At the same time, a golden glow appeared in Zhao Feng''s left eye as he circulated it to the maximum. A dreamy dark golden color suddenly blinked in Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "Soul Daze!"


    A strong surge of faint purple Soul power was unleashed through Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent, and it covered Ji Dengtian.


    Hu~


    "This is¡­?" Ji Dengtian''s footsteps became unsteady as he looked at Zhao Feng in shock.


    "This is my Purple Star Daze!" Ji Dengtian cried out as panic overtook his face.


    "How is this possible¡­!? How do you know the secret technique of the Ji Family!?"


    Ji Dengtian didn''t know what to say. The True Yuan circulating within his body had broken into chaos, so he wouldn''t be able to use any eye-bloodline techniques for a while. Ji Dengtian immediately circulated his Soul Intent and Eye Intent in an attempt to get rid of this technique.


    "Not bad." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile. The Purple Star Daze was a type of illusion, so it wasn''t very hard for Zhao Feng to replicate it. Its force would probably be even stronger if he used it with his Soul eye-bloodline power.


    Hu~~


    A strong gust of wind appeared.


    "Not good!"


    Zhao Feng had been too focused on trying to replicate the technique ¨C at this moment, the aura of Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s fist had arrived.


    Even though the attack was far away, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body could still feel a stinging pain, and his golden-blue light started to dim.


    "Sacred Lightning Protection!" Zhao Feng circulated the power of Wind Lightning and formed a barrier of crackling lightning.


    Boom!


    The barrier shattered, and Zhao Feng was slammed into a wall. A surge of pain travelled throughout his body.


    Hu~


    A black figure continued to charge over with overwhelming momentum, giving Zhao Feng no chance to rest.


    "Hmph!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as he circulated his Wind Lightning True Yuan and flapped the Scarlet Wings of Lightning. He became a streak of scarlet-red lightning and clashed against Sacred Lord Hundred Refined.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that Ji Dengtian''s mental energy technique had affected him and caused chaos with his True Yuan ¨C reducing the defense of his Sacred Lightning Body dramatically ¨C Sacred Lord Hundred Refined wouldn''t have been able to do so much damage.


    However, none of that mattered now because he had learned the Ji Family''s secret technique.


    Zhao Feng secretly circulated the Water and Wood of Wind Lightning in order to heal the injuries he just received.


    "Rampant Imperial Finger! Blazing Sky Force Punch! Sky Silk Shadowless Step!"


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined didn''t stop at all, he simply continued his stream of attacks. The figures of a palm, a hand, and a leg surrounded Zhao Feng. The power was enough to shatter mountains and split rivers!


    "Sacred Lightning Body! Sacred Lightning Protection!"


    Zhao Feng circulated the Sacred Lightning Body to the maximum, and a brilliant glow of golden lightning flashed around the surface of his body. The barrier of lightning surrounded his body and caused wind to howl and lightning to crackle.


    Zhao Feng didn''t care what techniques Sacred Lord Hundred Refined used ¨C he would take them all head-on.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Sacred Lightning Protection around Zhao Feng''s body exploded and released a brilliant bolt of lightning that pushed aside all of the Sacred Power nearby.


    Hu~


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined revealed a cold smile. He wouldn''t be tricked again after witnessing Zhao Feng''s defensive secret technique.


    "Sky Shattering Divine Punch!"


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined condensed all the Intent into his right hand, and a pressure that could summon a storm gathered and shot out like a mountain being thrown through the air.


    After using this move, it was obvious that Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s aura became weaker.


    "Sacred Lightning Force Fist!"


    Zhao Feng circulated the God Tribulation Lightning symbols and the ancient lightning within his Crystal Core Dimension. The most original and forceful divine lightning gathered on Zhao Feng''s fists, and he punched out like an ocean of lightning.


    Boom! Boom! Boom¡­!


    The powerful wave of destruction sent both Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Hundred Refined flying into the walls.


    Ji Dengtian''s face went pale-white. He quickly retreated several hundred meters away from the explosion with a dazed expression.


    "Close combat against Sacred Lord Hundred Refined and not being at a disadvantage!" Ji Dengtian''s voice was trembling; he was in complete disbelief.


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined perhaps hadn''t used his full strength in the first exchange, and Zhao Feng also used his flying techniques to negate some of Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s attack. However, in the exchange just now, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined put all of his power into a Heaven-grade technique, and yet he was only on par with Zhao Feng.


    One had to know that Sacred Lord Hundred Refined wasn''t just any Sacred Lord; he was from the Cao Family, one of the Eight Big Families. The Cao Family in particular was a family that specialized in fighting, and they focused on physical damage. Their close combat skills were the best among all eight families.


    "This can''t be true. He still has a terrifying Soul-based eye-bloodline, and yet he has the ability to fight against a Sacred Lord in close combat¡­?"


    Ji Dengtian''s entire body started to tremble. His eyes were dim, and they were filled with wariness and fear. He didn''t dare to do anything because he might attract Zhao Feng''s attention, which would cause his outcome to be the same as Ji Bai''s.


    Boom! Boom!


    The two figures jumped out from their holes in the wall and clashed once again.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll see how long you can last." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined gritted his teeth and harrumphed coldly as he used his battle techniques.


    He was looking at Zhao Feng as an expert of the same level now. Zhao Feng''s physical defense was monstrous and even surpassed the Shi Family. He wouldn''t be able to win within a short amount of time.


    However, the difference between the Void God Realm and the Mystic Light Realm was just too big. The Sacred Body of Mystic Light Realms had a strong recovery ability, and Mystic Light Sacred power could affect the soul.


    Even if Zhao Feng was strong, he had to do more than just attack; he also needed to maintain his Sacred Lightning Body and heal his injuries, which would use his True Yuan up like water flowing down a river.


    "Hehe." An excited smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    Zhao Feng felt extremely satisfied fighting against Sacred Lord Hundred Refined, and the blood within the depths of his body was already starting to boil.


    Due to the pressure of this ancient dimension, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined could only use 40% of his full battle-power. Zhao Feng didn''t use his Soul eye-bloodline techniques, he just fought against him in close combat.


    Boom!


    A glass-like flame suddenly appeared around Zhao Feng''s body, and a terrifying scorching aura was unleashed. Zhao Feng seemed to become a blazing sun that gave off a bright flame.


    The temperature within the pathway started to rise.


    "This is the Blood Devil Sun Bloodline?" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined revealed a stunned expression. Why did Zhao Feng have the bloodline of the Tie Family?


    Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng was like a flaming demonic sovereign as he flapped his wings of lightning and flew around. His attacks were extremely explosive. Zhao Feng thrust out his fist and released a wave of blood-colored flames that were surrounded by lightning, and it started to burn and erode everything.


    The power was on par with Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s battle techniques. The instant they clashed, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined felt that some blood essence and energy within his body was sucked away by Zhao Feng. Meanwhile, the color of Zhao Feng''s face recovered a little bit.


    Even though only a bit of energy and blood essence of a Mystic Light Sacred Body was sucked away, the power contained within it was extremely strong, and it was a great help to those at the Void God Realm.


    "This is the perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline of the Tie Family!" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was stunned, and he pulled away from Zhao Feng.


    Being someone from one of the Eight Big Families just like the Tie Family, he understood it very well.

 941 Stopping the Figh

    Chapter 941 - Stopping the Fight


    "This is the perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline of the Tie Family!" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was stunned, and he pulled away from Zhao Feng.


    Being someone from one of the Eight Big Families just like the Tie Family, he understood it very well. The perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline was the nemesis of close combat, and he finally understood why Tie Hongnan had invited Zhao Feng to the Fourth Prince''s hall and wanted to speak to him.


    Zhao Feng had the perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline, a battle-type bloodline that could be ranked within the top ten Imperial Dao Bloodlines.


    His Sacred Body was countered by the perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline to a certain degree. Even if Cao Zhang used a Heaven-grade skill to the maximum, Zhao Feng could just use his Blood Devil Sun Bloodline and physical defense to exhaust him to death. This meant that, if the fight dragged out, the loser would be Cao Zhang.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng still had the mysterious eye-bloodline that he hadn''t even used yet.


    Ji Dengtian''s illusions had no effect on Zhao Feng, and he was actually frightened by Zhao Feng''s Soul technique instead. Ji Dengtian didn''t even dare to do anything at the moment. From this, one could see that Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline technique could definitely threaten Sacred Lords.


    On top of all that, Zhao Feng was also a beast tamer and definitely had many spiritual pets, including the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, which was a member of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    Thinking up to here, Cao Zhang lost the will to fight. He could only use 40% of his full power right now.


    Why was this junior so troublesome¡­? Ji Bai and Ji Dengtian, the other members of his group, were completely useless.


    "Zhao Feng, stop." Cao Zhang signaled with his right hand. Even if he could''ve used his full battle power, Cao Zhang didn''t dare to kill Zhao Feng after learning that he had the perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline.


    The Tie Family was the strongest family of the Eight Big Families. If he killed the holder of the perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline, he might cause a war between the Tie Family and the Cao Family.


    Furthermore, it wasn''t a guaranteed win even if he wanted to kill Zhao Feng. It didn''t matter whether Sacred Lord Hundred Refined won or lost, it would make Zhao Feng famous either way.


    "We don''t know what kind of danger there is ahead of us. Why don''t we team up and talk after we pass the inheritance?"


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined felt slightly awkward and had to use this excuse to stop the fight.


    Zhao Feng''s usefulness was comparable to a Sacred Lord, and he was definitely much more useful than the other two members in his group.


    Ji Dengtian was still in utter shock from the perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline and Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s invitation. He didn''t think that a late-stage King junior could force them into a situation like this. Beast Tamer Ji Bai was forced to use the Dragon Jade''s array and escape, and his own eye-bloodline techniques were completely useless against Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng even copied his technique and used it to humiliate him. The Sacred Lord in his group had lost face and decided to stop fighting.


    Ji Dengtian could tell that if the fight continued, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s chance of winning wasn''t very high. He regretted his actions; maybe it was because his journey of cultivation had been too smooth, but he didn''t even believe what his own family''s Grand Elder said.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He felt extremely satisfied during the fight, but Sacred Lord Hundred Refined had apparently lost the will to battle. Zhao Feng went silent for a moment after thinking about the four figures that had entered a moment ago.


    "I want 70% of the inheritance," Zhao Feng said in a decisive tone, causing Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s eyebrows to furrow and his mouth to twitch.


    This junior''s appetite wasn''t just big ¨C Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s group had two people, but one Zhao Feng wanted 70% of the cut?


    "I''ll take 30% then," Cao Zhang said through gritted teeth before looking at Ji Dengtian.


    Ji Dengtian instantly gave a helpless and bitter smile. He knew what Sacred Lord Hundred Refined meant ¨C he would have no share of the Imperial Sky Inheritance.


    "I''ll open the way for us," Zhao Feng said.


    He wanted 70% because Sacred Lord Hundred Refined wasn''t of much use to him since he could clear the inheritance on his own. He only wanted help to stop those four that had just entered.


    It would be a big loss if Zhao Feng forced Sacred Lord Hundred Refined to the brink and caused him to join forces with the four that just arrived.


    "Hmm? Sure." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined paused for a moment.


    Bam! Bam!


    Countless sandstone monsters swarmed over like a flood. While Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Hundred Refined were fighting, the sandstone monsters arrived and attacked them, but the shockwaves from their fight were able to instantly kill the sandstone monsters that got too close. Now that they had stopped fighting, these monsters charged over once again.


    Zhao Feng stood in the center of the pathway and faced the sandstone monsters. His consciousness touched the mysterious golden ball in the dimension of his left eye. Zhao Feng''s left eye instantly became golden and released a surge of strong Eye Intent and Soul power.


    The expressions of Ji Dengtian and Sacred Lord Hundred Refined instantly became solemn.


    "What strong Soul Intent!" Ji Dengtian''s face was filled with shock. He didn''t know how much the dimension was suppressing Zhao Feng, so he couldn''t accurately estimate how strong Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was.


    "Why is he choosing to use an eye-bloodline technique to get rid of the sandstone monsters? Could it be that his eye-bloodline technique is actually more biased toward physical aspects?" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was puzzled.


    Weng~~


    An enormous ring of faint golden light shot out of Zhao Feng''s left eye, and it seemed to contain the laws of the world. It passed through the center of the pathway and went through all of the sandstone monsters and reached an unknown distance.


    Nothing happened even after a long time.


    "It just passed through the sandstone monsters. Could it be a soul attack?" While Sacred Lord Hundred Refined didn''t really understand the soul, only soul attacks could pass through physical objects.


    "What kind of eye-bloodline technique was that? Could it be the one Ji Wuye talked about¡­?" Ji Dengtian wasn''t able to see what kind of eye-bloodline technique it was or what its uses were even with his experience and knowledge.


    However, what happened next stunned them. All the sandstone monsters that had come into contact with the enormous golden ring of light disappeared into thin air.


    An empty path had been created with just one glance from Zhao Feng.


    There was a very faint yellow mist in the center of the pathway.


    Zhao Feng closed his left eye and recovered the energy he had just used.


    These sandstone monsters were products of the Sacred Lord''s Little World, so the atoms were only of one element and were rather crudely constructed. Zhao Feng only needed to completely analyze the structure of one atom before he could disintegrate all of them.


    However, this was the first time he had disintegrated such a large amount of something, and Zhao Feng felt tired despite his huge quantity of Eye Intent. However, he had achieved his goals.


    The first was to conquer the inheritance, obtaining the resources and the draconic providence. If he wanted to run after that, no one would be able to stop him.


    The second was to scare Sacred Lord Hundred Refined. While Sacred Lord Hundred Refined had temporarily decided to work with him for now, Zhao Feng still couldn''t completely trust him, so Zhao Feng needed something to scare Sacred Lord Hundred Refined to the point that he wouldn''t be willing to become an enemy.


    "Let''s go." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    "This¡­ is¡­?" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s mind went blank. He couldn''t understand what happened even with his experience and knowledge.


    What kind of power was that faint golden light? It instantly made countless sandstone monsters disappear into thin air. His eyes couldn''t see how far the golden light travelled or how many sandstone monsters disappeared.


    If this was just the ability of some kind of Space technique, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined could accept it, but he didn''t feel any disturbance in space.


    He suddenly had a thought - what would''ve happened if that beam of light had shone onto his body in a fight? Thinking up to there, his soul started to tremble.


    This also made Ji Dengtian act like he had been struck by a bolt of lightning. He remembered what Ji Wuye had said; "Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques can make physical and soul-based objects completely disappear."


    Zhao Feng walked at the front, and countless black striped scorpions with fierce auras filled the pathway.


    While most of the sandstone monsters had been disintegrated by Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique, the path was very broad, so the sandstone monsters on the edges still remained. They didn''t have any intelligence and didn''t know what fear was, they only charged toward and attacked the outsiders.


    Jiang!


    Under the leadership of the Scorpion King, all the venomous scorpions swarmed forward and opened the path for Zhao Feng.


    "These beasts are from the ancient dimension!" Ji Dengtian exclaimed.


    Ji Bai was the beast tamer in Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s group, and they had planned to tame beasts at the beginning, but it was extremely difficult to do so even with the help of Sacred Lord Hundred Refined suppressing the beast leaders. The addition of Ji Dengtian wasn''t enough to handle the other beasts either, so their plan to tame beasts failed.


    They never would''ve thought that Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er would be able to tame a group of beasts, and not just any beasts, but beasts with very high battle-power.


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined looked at the figure of Zhao Feng''s back and knew that this person was not to be offended.


    Just like that, the experts from the Cao and Ji Families followed behind Zhao Feng and entered the depths of the inheritance. They flew for a long time before they suddenly felt like the number of sandstone monsters had increased dramatically. In other words, Zhao Feng''s mysterious eye-bloodline technique had reached this far before dissipating.


    Without Zhao Feng saying anything, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined went to the front and opened the way for them.


    With the combined forces of the venomous scorpions and a Sacred Lord, they soon saw the end of the Imperial Sky Inheritance.


    This pathway was probably close to a hundred miles long.


    "Zhao Feng, there''s a Sacred Lord-rank sandstone monster ahead. Let''s go!" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined had a grim expression.


    There was an enormous sandstone monster the size of a small mountain ahead of them blocking the way.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and became taller. He released a layer of golden-blue lightning and crushed everything in his way.


    Boom!


    "Blazing Sky Force Fist!"


    Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Hundred Refined charged forward, and there were flashes of black, red, and golden light.


    A powerful blow destroyed everything ahead.


    "He has the ability to regenerate."


    Part of the sandstone monster''s body was destroyed by their attack and turned into sand, but the fallen sand seemed to be attracted by something, and it merged back into the sandstone monster''s body and recovered.


    "As long as it still has the sand, it will never die."


    Zhao Feng opened his left eye and inspected the sandstone monster.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng''s left eye saw something that others couldn''t, and he revealed a joyful expression.


    The structure of atoms in the Sacred Lord rank sandstone monster is not much different from the others.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng''s left eye released a brilliant flash of gold that passed through the area he figured the monster''s heart would be.


    Hu~


    The part where the gold light passed through disappeared after a while, revealing three sparkling crystal pearls.


    Zhao Feng waved his left hand, and the three substandard God crystals flew over and were stored in Zhao Feng''s Misty Spatial World.


    Boom!


    The instant the substandard God crystals were taken away, the entire sandstone monster turned into sand and spread across the ground.

 942 Reward

    Chapter 942 - Reward


    "Substandard God Crystal!" Ji Dengtian exclaimed.


    Substandard God Crystals were legendary Primal Crystal Stones even in the continent zone, and they were used by Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords to cultivate.


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was also extremely attracted by it. He only had a few himself, and those were obtained through very dangerous circumstances. Sacred Lord Hundred Refined almost couldn''t resist the temptation to immediately attack Zhao Feng after seeing him obtain three so easily.


    "Zhao Feng, you get 70% of the inheritance while I get 30%. What''s the meaning of you taking all three crystals away?" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined immediately questioned.


    "We are splitting the inheritance 70-30. This is my reward for killing the monster," Zhao Feng snickered coldly and said.


    He hadn''t thought that this Sacred Lord-level sandstone monster would have three substandard God Crystals either. It was most likely a hidden reward.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng had destroyed the inheritances of three beginning-stage Sacred Lords and only received one substandard God Crystal total. After all, Sacred Lords needed substandard God Crystals to cultivate, so no Sacred Lord would mind having too many.


    From the fact that Zhao Feng received three in one go, one could see that this inheritance wasn''t simple.


    "You¡­!" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was speechless. Indeed, these three substandard God Crystals were just the core of the sandstone monster and didn''t belong to the inheritance proper.


    Zhao Feng''s aggressiveness made Sacred Lord Hundred Refined feel like Zhao Feng wasn''t scared of anything right now.


    There should be many more substandard God Crystals in the inheritance of a late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord. Sacred Lord Hundred Refined could only think like this.


    Hu~~


    The instant the sandstone monster crumbled, the trio proceeded forward.


    There was a large empty lounge ahead. There were no decorations anywhere apart from some golden drawings on the nearby walls.


    The instant the trio appeared, a surge of draconic providence entered the Dragon Jades on their bodies, but it quickly stopped.


    "This draconic providence¡­?" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was puzzled.


    The amount of draconic providence was a lot smaller than what they were imagining; it didn''t even reach the level of an early-stage Sacred Lord''s inheritance.


    Could it be that the information was wrong and that this place wasn''t the inheritance of a late-stage Sacred Lord? But according to what they had encountered along the way, the difficulty of this inheritance definitely exceeded that of an early-stage Sacred Lord. Without Zhao Feng''s mysterious eye-bloodline technique, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s group would''ve found it difficult to ever make it this far.


    "That''s¡­!?" Ji Dengtian looked upward.


    They were all instantly attracted by three floating balls of water and light in the air. Golden light shone and lit up the place.


    "Congratulations on passing the trial, but since no one suits the requirements to become the inheritor, I will be giving three treasures instead," a mysterious voice reverberated throughout the lounge, as if it was the Intent of Heaven and Earth itself.


    "This is the power of Intent!" Ji Dengtian''s face was filled with shock.


    "This is a just an incomplete remnant Intent of the Little World." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was first in shock, but he soon let out a breath.


    "Intent of a Little World?" Zhao Feng was surprised. This was the first time he had heard about such a thing.


    "When the Little World becomes strong and stable enough, the Sacred Lord will imprint their own Intent into the Little World, turning it into a sort of manager." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined only gave one sentence of explanation, probably because he didn''t know too much himself.


    "Manager?"


    When Zhao Feng thought about managers, he remembered the little thieving cat within the Little World of the Misty Spatial World. It was like a manager; it looked after the Green Water Sky Lotuses, the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Roots, the Five Poison Distinct Bees, and various other things.


    "From the looks of it, the remnant Little World Intent is still following the wishes of the Sacred Lord when they were alive to choose an inheritor." Zhao Feng touched the bottom of his chin. He could understand why there wasn''t much draconic providence.


    "That''s right." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined paused for a moment. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to understand so quickly since Zhao Feng was only at the late stages of the Void God Realm and most likely didn''t even have a Little World yet.


    The three paused for a moment. If this was a normal inheritance, they would be able to obtain all the resources as long as they passed the test, but this inheritance was different. There was a remnant Little World Intent here that was following the wishes of its master, and it was still managing this dimension.


    This meant that the three of them could only obtain whatever was in the three balls of water and light. If they wanted to receive everything, they would have to destroy the Intent of a late-stage Mystic Light Realm. However, that was obviously impossible; as soon as they attacked, the remnant Intent would utilize the power of the entire Little World to crush them in an instant.


    This meant that there was nothing else they could do at this point but accept their reward.


    Zhao Feng carefully inspected the three balls of water and light.


    There was a book named the Imperial Sky Qi Absorption Technique within the first ball of water and light. Behind it was a red flower in the shape of a clown''s face, and the final one contained ten substandard God Crystals.


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined started to think. According to their deal, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined could only obtain one of the three golden balls of water and light. He didn''t know anything about the red flower shaped like a clown face or the Imperial Sky Qi Absorption Technique, so he couldn''t estimate their value, but he could roughly guess based on the ten substandard God Crystals next to them.


    The value of these two items shouldn''t be lower than ten substandard God Crystals, but everything depended on how useful it was to the recipient. For example, if an inheritance contained nothing but spears, it wouldn''t be very useful in the eyes of a sword cultivator.


    "Zhao Feng, how about I take the Imperial Sky Qi Absorption Technique and you take the other two?" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined asked.


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined ignored the red flower shaped like a clown face. Being someone from a family that specialized in battle techniques, he was more interested in the Imperial Sky Qi Absorption Technique. He already had a few substandard God Crystals, and there was still a lot of time left in the Imperial Tombs, so there was still plenty of time to obtain more substandard God Crystals.


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed. Of the three, only the ten substandard God Crystals were slightly valuable to him.


    Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was already one of the best techniques in the world, so the Imperial Sky Qi Absorption Technique was basically useless to Zhao Feng, and the red flower in the shape of a clown''s face obviously belonged to the Dao of Ghost Corpses.


    All in all, Zhao Feng wasn''t very satisfied by the rewards of this inheritance.


    Seeing Zhao Feng furrow his eyebrows, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined cried out in his heart, Could it be that Zhao Feng wants the Imperial Sky Qi Absorption Technique as well?


    Of the three items, the most useless one was the red flower.


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was just about to negotiate with Zhao Feng, but the latter suddenly agreed.


    "Okay, let''s take the treasures." Zhao Feng immediately leapt up and reached out toward the ten substandard God Crystals with a claw.


    "Hmm? This ball of water and light¡­?" Zhao Feng''s expression changed.


    When his power touched the ball of water and light, he had a feeling similar to when Xin Wuheng had used softness to counter his explosive power in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Zhao Feng''s strength was dissolved and redirected by a mysterious Intent of Water when it touched the ball of water and light. It looked like it wasn''t something that just anyone could take.


    On the other side, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined didn''t succeed either.


    There''s no time left. Zhao Feng circulated his Blood Devil Sun bloodline, and a surge of glass-like fire appeared around his body. It gave off a scorching and terrifying aura like he was the sun itself as it released a surge of flames.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!" Zhao Feng thrust his fists, and waves of red flaming lightning shot out like miniature suns toward the ball of water and light.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng''s attack was redirected by the ball of water and light, but the ignition effect of the Blood Devil Sun Bloodline couldn''t be redirected.


    Whoom!


    The entire ball of water and light ignited and disappeared within an instant.


    "Fire can counter Water too." Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile as he put the ten substandard God Crystals into the Misty Spatial World.


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s eyes lit up as he used a Fire-elemental technique, and soon, he broke through the ball of water and light and obtained the Imperial Sky Qi Absorption Technique.


    "Leave all your treasures behind," a ghastly, forceful voice sounded from the pathway.


    "Another group is here!" Ji Dengtian''s expression changed, but he relaxed after looking at Sacred Lord Hundred Refined and Zhao Feng. They didn''t need to be scared of any normal group.


    Boom! Boom!


    A surge of black flames suddenly appeared, transforming into a figure in black with a nasty expression and wearing a black crown.


    "Nine Darkness Palace, Sacred Lord Black Demon!" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s expression changed.


    "Zhao Feng!" Sacred Lord Black Demon roared in anger as the black flames around his body surged like he was about to attack.


    At the same time, three more people arrived.


    "Three Quasi-Sacred Lords!" Ji Dengtian instantly swallowed his spit. He didn''t think that this would be a group from the Thirteenth Prince''s team. Ji Dengtian had no confidence after seeing this terrifying group consisting of Sacred Lord Black Demon and three Quasi-Sacred Lords.


    "That''s the Three Life Evil Ghost Flower!" An elder in purple-and-black robes instantly exclaimed as he looked at the precious herb within the ball of water and light with a fiery gaze.


    "Three Life Evil Ghost Flower!" Sacred Lord Black Demon''s gaze moved away from Zhao Feng and looked upward. His heart rate suddenly increased.


    "Zhao Feng, the Three Life Evil Ghost Flower isn''t useful to you. Give it to me, and I won''t trouble you over Nine Darkness Palace matters today." Sacred Lord Black Demon''s expression was grim as he looked at the three in front of him.


    It was obvious that the Three Life Evil Ghost Flower was part of the spoils of war from Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Hundred Refined. If Sacred Lord Black Demon tried to take it by force, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined would be on Zhao Feng''s side, so Sacred Lord Black Demon used his words. As long as either Zhao Feng or Sacred Lord Hundred Refined agreed, it would be okay.


    "Sure. How about we discuss the enmity between Nine Darkness Palace and me back on the continent zone?" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile and moved back a couple steps, giving space to Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    Sacred Lord Black Demon paused for a moment. He hadn''t thought that Zhao Feng would agree so easily, but he didn''t care too much; the Three Life Evil Ghost Flower was the most important issue right now.


    Hu~~


    Sacred Lord Black Demon turned into a ball of black flames and swept toward the ball of water and light, aiming to destroy it.


    However, a little gray cat suddenly appeared in the ball of water and light. It laughed at him and took the Three Life Evil Ghost Flower away.


    "Hm? Cat?" Sacred Lord Black Demon revealed a surprised and puzzled look. Why was there suddenly a cat in the ball of water and light?


    "Not good!" Sacred Lord Black Demon suddenly remembered something. The next second, the little thieving cat disappeared from the ball of water and lightning. At the same time, a pair of Scarlet Wings of Lightning spread behind Zhao Feng''s back, and he turned into a bolt of red-and-white lightning that shot into the pathway.


    The three Quasi-Sacred Lords didn''t even have the time to react. It was obvious that Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat had planned this in advance. They were never planning to give the flower to Sacred Lord Black Demon from the start.


    "Zhao Feng!" Sacred Lord Black Demon roared as he turned into a ball of black flames and shot directly into the pathway as well.

 943 Sacred Lord Black Demon

    Chapter 943 - Sacred Lord Black Demon


    "Zhao Feng!" Sacred Lord Black Demon roared as he turned into a ball of black flames and shot directly into the pathway as well.


    The other members of Sacred Lord Black Demon''s group immediately followed him after recovering from the shock.


    "Hahaha, as expected of Zhao Feng!" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined roared with laughter. He could do nothing about Zhao Feng, so he felt extremely satisfied after seeing Sacred Lord Black Demon being toyed around with by Zhao Feng too.


    Sacred Lord Black Demon was the strongest beginning-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord from Nine Darkness Palace, and he apparently had the ability to attempt a breakthrough to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    The Three Life Evil Ghost Flower was originally Zhao Feng''s, and it had nothing to do with Sacred Lord Hundred Refined.


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined and Ji Dengtian felt a lot more relaxed after Zhao Feng attracted the Thirteenth Prince''s group away.


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined didn''t want to be Sacred Lord Black Demon''s enemy if he could help it. Nine Darkness Palace was a peak three star-power that had once been a four-star force. Their strength was even higher than the Eight Big Families.


    Nine Darkness Palace had two spots in the Crown Prince trial ¨C Sacred Lord Black Demon and Quasi-Sacred Lord Xi Peng. If his guesses were correct, Sacred Lord Black Demon definitely had that item on him.


    A bolt of scarlet-and-white lightning flashed through the dark pathway like a meteor. Zhao Feng ate some parts of a Green Water Sky Lotus as he moved.


    If it was some other force, Zhao Feng wouldn''t mind giving away the Three Life Evil Ghost Flower since it was useless to him anyway, but definitely not to Nine Darkness Palace. Besides, even if he was willing, how could Zhao Feng believe anything Sacred Lord Black Demon said?


    "Zhao Feng, as long as you hand over the Three Life Evil Ghost Flower, I promise that I won''t attack you in the Crown Prince trial," Sacred Lord Black Demon''s voice sounded.


    "Sacred Lord Black Demon, stop spewing your garbage." Zhao Feng harrumphed coldly and increased his speed. He wasn''t scared of anyone in the Crown Prince trial.


    "Hmph, if that''s the case, then you won''t be able to leave the Imperial Tombs." Sacred Lord Black Demon gave up on trying to communicate.


    "Rapid Black Ink!" The dark flames around Sacred Lord Black Demon''s body suddenly exploded, and Sacred Lord Black Demon seemed to slide through the air. The resistance he faced was reduced dramatically.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng''s expression paused for a moment when he saw Sacred Lord Black Demon closing the gap.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!" Zhao Feng''s wings flashed, and his speed increased once more. He turned into a bolt of scarlet lightning that seemed to merge into the air, and it would appear a bit further away with every blink.


    "Not good; my spatial flying technique is suppressed here." Zhao Feng''s expression was ugly. His spatial flying technique was suppressed while Sacred Lord Black Demon''s secret technique wasn''t affected as much.


    However, it was impossible for Sacred Lord Black Demon to catch up to him within a short amount of time.


    Whoosh!


    A bolt of scarlet lightning and a pitch-black demonic figure travelled through the pathway at alarming speed.


    "The exit!"


    A tiny bit of light could be seen ahead.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng charged out of the pathway and flew into the sky.


    "Zhou Su''er''s not here."


    Zhao Feng looked around.


    Sacred Lord Black Demon most likely didn''t dare to do anything against Zhou Su''er. At worst, he only forced her to use the array within the Dragon Jade.


    At this moment, a pitch-black demonic figure slid out of the pathway.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" A half-transparent ball of fire and the Destructive aura of God Tribulation Lightning whistled down onto Sacred Lord Black Demon''s body.


    Weng~~


    The black crown on Sacred Lord Black Demon''s head gave off a black light, and a layer of light covered Sacred Lord Black Demon''s body. The soul attack that Sacred Lord Black Demon faced was weakened. However, while he was able to completely block Zhao Feng''s soul flame with the power of his Sacred Lord-level soul, he couldn''t block the power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    Boom!


    Sacred Lord Black Demon''s soul and black crown were damaged to a certain degree.


    "The laws of Destruction!" Sacred Lord Black Demon''s expression changed. The laws of Destruction existed to destroy completely, and such injuries were hard to recover from. Even the regeneration ability of undying bodies would be limited.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!"


    Zhao Feng''s figure grew taller and radiated a layer of gold-and-blue. He seemed to transform into a giant tower of golden lightning that suppressed everything with its physical strength.


    The main reason Zhao Feng had moved so quickly was to check on Zhou Su''er. Given his advantage in terms of the dimension''s suppression, Zhao Feng wasn''t actually scared of Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    "If you want to fight, then let''s fight, Sacred Lord Black Demon!" Zhao Feng turned into a streak of scarlet-golden lightning and crushed over like a mountain.


    "Demonic Flames Sacred Power!" Sacred Lord Black Demon harrumphed coldly and thrust out his palm. A beam of darkness almost passed through space as it moved toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s heart went cold. He felt like his body, soul, and even the air around him had been locked onto. This offensive style was exactly the same as the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord.


    "Sacred Lightning Protection!" Zhao Feng merged the physical power of his Sacred Lightning Body and the power of his Wind Lightning together.


    Whoosh!


    A condensed barrier of lightning instantly appeared. It gave off a glowing golden light that blocked this dark beam. Lightning crackled and thunder boomed around the surface of the lightning barrier.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes became grim. The battle-power being displayed by Sacred Lord Black Demon was much stronger than what Sacred Lord Hundred Refined could do. Sacred Lord Black Demon also specialized in speed, and he didn''t fight against Zhao Feng in close combat.


    Boom!


    A layer of glass-like fire instantly appeared around Zhao Feng''s body, and a scorching aura appeared. It was as if Zhao Feng had become the sun.


    Zhao Feng''s body became covered in fire, and with the addition of the Sacred Lightning Body, he looked like a flaming demonic sovereign.


    Whoosh!


    The wings behind Zhao Feng''s back fluttered as he charged down and thrust out his fist.


    Since Sacred Lord Black Demon wasn''t willing to fight in close combat against Zhao Feng, then he would just give up on defense and first close in on Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    Boom!


    With the addition of the perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline, Zhao Feng''s speed instantly increased as he charged toward Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    "You''re indeed related to the Tie Family! But don''t think that Nine Darkness Palace will be scared of the Tie Family." Sacred Lord Black Demon snickered and laughed as he stood there. Sacred Lord Black Demon thrust out another palm, and a beam of black light arrived before Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s speed didn''t decrease. He circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and took Sacred Lord Black Demon''s attack head-on with the help of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Weng~~


    The barrier of lightning was shattered and a surge of golden light was reflected back, but it wasn''t able to damage Sacred Lord Black Demon. The weakened Black Flames Sacred Power landed on Zhao Feng, but he wasn''t scared at all.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    Zhao Feng''s speed suddenly increased, and he became a bolt of lightning that appeared before Sacred Lord Black Demon. He then punched down with his fist.


    "Junior, I was waiting for you to come over!" Sacred Lord Black Demon revealed an overjoyed expression as the black flames around his body erupted like a volcano. An invisible force completely suppressed Zhao Feng.


    "Not good!" Zhao Feng felt that something was wrong. He didn''t think that Sacred Lord Black Demon still had another move left, but since he had already punched out, he couldn''t retreat. He could only use his Scarlet Wings of Lightning to push himself to the side.


    "It''s too late, Zhao Feng." The darkness around Sacred Lord Black Demon''s body seemed to merge into the air and block out the sun. Everything within a thousand miles became dark, and one could see wicked and chaotic images within it.


    "Little World!? Your strength¡­?"


    Zhao Feng revealed a stunned expression. Due to the suppression of this ancient dimension, normal Emperors and Sacred Lords weren''t really able to use their Little Worlds at all. Furthermore, the aura that Sacred Lord Black Demon was currently releasing made Zhao Feng''s heart shake.


    "That''s right. Normal Emperors can, at most, only use 50% of their total strength here, while Sacred Lords can only use 60%¡­ but did you really think that Nine Darkness Palace wouldn''t be prepared for that?" Sacred Lord Black Demon roared with laughter.


    Hearing that, Zhao Feng felt that Sacred Lord Black Demon''s words made sense. Zhao Feng himself was only a late-stage King; if it wasn''t for the fact that he was used to the ancient aura of the Ancient Dream Realm, he would only be able to use 40% of his full power right now.


    After adapting to this place, Zhao Feng could now use 60% of his full power, but the aura that Sacred Lord Black Demon was displaying definitely exceeded the 60% limit of Sacred Lords.


    "Hahaha, Nine Darkness Palace paid a huge price and a dozen millennia of preparations to create a treasure that could allow one to adapt to the laws of this dimension." Sacred Lord Black Demon felt extremely smug when he saw Zhao Feng''s panicking expression.


    "I can now use almost 80% of my full power. Apart from the other Sacred Lords that have the same kind of treasure, no one is my match." Sacred Lord Black Demon''s eyes sparkled with a black light as he waved his hand and controlled a few wisps of this dimension''s laws.


    The dimension''s restriction and the power of the Little World instantly made Zhao Feng unable to move, and he found it hard to breathe.


    "Zhao Feng, die!" Sacred Lord Black Demon used a technique from the Nine Darkness Sacred Scroll and thrust his palm out. A beam of black light instantly appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    It was as if this attack had come from directly in front of Zhao Feng, and with the addition of the Little World''s power, it had become even stronger.


    "Spatial Movement!"


    A whirlpool appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    Shu~~


    A part of the black beam that was about to land on Zhao Feng suddenly disappeared. The rest of the beam split into two and scraped past Zhao Feng''s shoulders.


    "Spatial Movement? This kind of usage of Space¡­" Sacred Lord Black Demon paused for a moment. Nothing had been said about this in the reports on Zhao Feng.


    His expression suddenly changed, as if he had sensed something.


    Boom!


    The part of the beam that had disappeared sliced past his head and caused a wisp of black blood to flow out.


    "Ridiculous!" Sacred Lord Black Demon roared in anger. Although this attack wasn''t very effective against his Demonic Dao Sacred Body, he had never felt such humiliation from being injured by his own attack.


    "Dark Demonic Sacred power!" Sacred Lord Black Demon waved his hands, and countless rays of light started to surround Zhao Feng. It was almost as if they actually had life.


    Sacred Lord Black Demon wasn''t dumb; he knew that Zhao Feng could only use Spatial Movement over a small range.


    "This next move will force you to use the array. Then, the next time I meet you will be your death."


    Sacred Lord Black Demon gave a wicked laughter. He was like a peerless Demonic God as he stood in the world of darkness.


    At this moment in time, the three other members of Sacred Lord Black Demon''s group had rushed out from the Imperial Sky Inheritance.


    "So strong!" the face of a doctor from the Duanmu Family was filled with shock.


    "Hmph. Underestimating Nine Darkness Palace will result in death." Xi Peng, who wore purple-and-black robes, snickered coldly as he looked at Zhao Feng being trapped by Sacred Lord Black Demon.

 944 Black Wind Canyon

    Chapter 944 - Black Wind Canyon


    "This next move will force you to use the array. Then, the next time I meet you will be your death."


    Sacred Lord Black Demon gave a wicked laughter. He was like a peerless Demonic God as he stood in the world of darkness.


    Zhao Feng had a grim expression. He indeed hadn''t thought that Sacred Lord Black Demon would have a rare treasure that could allow him to adapt to this ancient dimension.


    This obviously wasn''t the first time the Crown Prince trial was being held. Back in the day, the pressure of this ancient dimension was probably even stronger, so the peak forces of the continent had started to develop something in order to deal with it. A treasure that could allow someone to adapt to the ancient dimension had most likely only appeared during the last couple trials.


    Furthermore, this wasn''t something that any random force could have. This meant that the geniuses of the Yu Family, the Tie Family, and some of the other top forces should have this treasure as well. This gave Zhao Feng a warning.


    Facing a Sacred Lord of the Demonic Dao who could use 80% of his full battle-power, Zhao Feng wasn''t certain he could win even if he used all of his trump cards. He had used too much True Yuan fighting against Sacred Lord Hundred Refined in the Imperial Sky Inheritance, and he exhausted a lot of his Eye Intent to pass through the Imperial Sky Inheritance.


    The strength of Nine Darkness Palace wasn''t to be underestimated. Sacred Lord Black Demon had definitely prepared a lot, such as the defensive Soul item on his head and the treasure that could allow one to adapt to this ancient dimension. There were also three Quasi-Sacred Lords in his group as well.


    The situation was looking very bad for Zhao Feng. Since Zhao Feng was in the range of Sacred Lord Black Demon''s Little World, he couldn''t use the teleportation skill of his Misty Spatial World either.


    Without any hesitation, Zhao Feng used the hidden array within the Dragon Jade.


    Weng~~


    A complex and profound array spread from the Dragon Jade. Zhao Feng''s body was covered in a flash of light before disappearing.


    "Hmph, the next time I meet you is when you shall die." Sacred Lord Black Demon had a cold expression, and the three below felt regretful, but there was nothing they could do about it. There was an array in every single Dragon Jade that could save the user one time.


    Within a hidden cave outside the forbidden Black Wind Canyon in the Imperial Tombs, there were four figures.


    "Old Ying, what should we do?" the Ninth Prince asked.


    "The Wind of Darkness in the Black Wind Canyon has become weaker." Jing Kai spread his Divine Sense and felt a group of three people enter.


    Old Ying''s sole eye scanned over the group, and he revealed a helpless expression. Although they had four people here, Zhou Su''er''s battle-power was low, and even though Jing Kai seemed steady, he had lost confidence in himself due to the pressure.


    This meant that the Ninth Prince couldn''t enter with them either. While the princes could use draconic providence to increase their strength and fight against those with higher cultivations, there was no life-saving hidden array in the pseudo Crown Prince Seal. The pseudo Crown Prince Seal could only connect to the Imperial Grand Hall in the outside world, and once a prince used the pseudo Crown Prince Seal to admit defeat or ask for help, the prince and all his team members would lose their right to participate in the Crown Prince trials and would be forced out.


    This also meant that the princes were usually the main targets; as soon as they used the pseudo Crown Prince Seal to ask for help, all his team members would be sent out as well.


    "Ninth Prince, you can''t enter," Old Ying said in a certain tone.


    "I know." The Ninth Prince obviously understood and felt somewhat helpless.


    The princes were the main protagonists in the Crown Prince trial. They had the ability to wield draconic providence, but they were also the main targets of all other forces. If there weren''t many opponents, he and Old Ying would be a strong battle-power that could change the tide. However, if there were a lot of enemies around, the Ninth Prince would become a giant target.


    "While the difficulty of the Black Wind Canyon has dropped, there''s also the fact that Princess Zhou Su''er has already used the array within her Dragon Jade," Old Ying analyzed and said.


    There was only one life-saving array within the Dragon Jade. If someone had already used it and then entered a forbidden place, that was simply courting death.


    On top of that Zhou Su''er was just a doctor, not some fighting expert.


    "That leaves Old Ying and me." Jing Kai''s expression was grim; he didn''t feel confident at all.


    Their combined strength was just too low. Putting aside the dangers of the Black Wind Canyon itself, they didn''t even have the ability to fight against other groups. There was no point in entering the forbidden grounds either way.


    "Why don''t we give up on the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground? There''s no need to take this risk," Zhou Su''er suggested.


    The Wind of Darkness in the Black Wind Canyon was occasionally strong and occasionally weak, but even the weakened wind was still more difficult than other areas. And since the overall strength of their group was on the weak side, the Ninth Prince couldn''t reveal himself.


    Just as they were pondering what to do:


    Hu~ Weng~~


    A light started to flash ahead of the Ninth Prince, and a golden array spread. Everyone''s expression was grim ¨C they knew that someone was using the array to escape danger.


    "Zhao Feng?" Old Ying and company let out a breath.


    Zhou Su''er had already told them about how Zhao Feng had met the group from Nine Darkness Palace. If someone from the third group had to escape something as well, the Ninth Prince''s situation would be terrible.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve come as well? I was forced to use the array by Nine Darkness Palace," Zhou Su''er said as hatred flashed through her eyes. Nine Darkness Palace supported the Thirteenth Prince.


    "En, I met Sacred Lord Black Demon and had to use the array," Zhao Feng said directly.


    "Sacred Lord Black Demon!"


    Old Ying and company were stunned. Sacred Lord Black Demon was a Mystic Light Realm genius of Nine Darkness Palace, and his true strength was almost at the level of an early-stage Sacred Lord. He was one of the strongest people in this trial.


    There was simply nothing Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er could do apart from using their array if they met him. If Old Ying''s group had met Sacred Lord Black Demon, they would most likely lose even if the Ninth Prince used all his draconic providence to make himself stronger.


    "There''s nothing you can do about that, but why did you go to such a dangerous inheritance in the first place?" Jing Kai asked.


    He felt that Zhao Feng was a bit arrogant. If Zhao Feng hadn''t gone for the Imperial Sky Inheritance to begin with, then none of this would have happened. A beast tamer and a doctor going to the inheritance of a late-stage Sacred Lord ¨C were they trying to kill themselves?


    "Let''s not talk about that. Zhao Feng, what do you think about this forbidden ground?" Old Ying stopped Jing Kai and looked at Zhao Feng.


    He didn''t know exactly how strong Zhao Feng was, but he could roughly estimate that he shouldn''t be weaker than normal Sacred Lords. Zhao Feng''s other aspects were also extremely outstanding. With the addition of Zhao Feng, their overall strength wasn''t so bad anymore.


    Zhao Feng looked into the distance, seeing the terrain surrounded by black tornados, and understood. While the danger of the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground had been reduced, it was still a forbidden ground. Not many people had gone through here, meaning that there was still a lot of fortune.


    "The three of us will go in. Zhou Su''er and the Ninth Prince will remain behind, but this place isn''t hidden well enough," Zhao Feng soon said what he thought.


    Old Ying''s eyes lit up. His thoughts were the same as Zhao Feng''s. If Zhao Feng dared to go the Imperial Sky Inheritance with Zhou Su''er, then there was no reason for him to not dare going to the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground when it was right in front of him.


    "There''s a more well-hidden place?" Old Ying was slightly puzzled. He had spent a lot of time to find this place, and from his point of view, it was already extremely well-hidden.


    If the Ninth Prince and Zhou Su''er were to remain hiding away from the rest of the group, they had to be in a safe place. Zhou Su''er''s battle-power was extremely low, so the Ninth Prince would have to protect himself and Zhou Su''er at the same time


    "Yeah, right over there." Zhao Feng pointed into the distance and Old Ying followed his finger.


    "Hmm? That really is a good place." Old Ying''s sole eye sparkled.


    The place that Zhao Feng pointed out was at the edge of the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground, but due to the landscape and how it curved in, it wasn''t affected by the Wind of Darkness. Furthermore, since it was so close to the Black Wind Canyon, most people wouldn''t get near it or even think that there was someone hiding there. The Wind of Darkness also had the ability to block Spiritual and Divine Senses. It would help cover the Ninth Prince, and it was a safe and stealthy place.


    Old Ying looked at Zhao Feng with an even-deeper gaze. He couldn''t understand how Zhao Feng discovered such a place in an instant.


    "Okay, then that''s that. Jing Kai and Zhao Feng will follow me into the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground while the Ninth Prince and Zhou Su''er will go hide over there." Old Ying spoke very fast. Since they decided to enter the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground, they had to use their time wisely.


    Jing Kai was slightly uncertain and wanted to say something, but he didn''t do so after seeing Old Ying''s confident look. From his point of view, an extra beast tamer didn''t give their group much of an advantage. While they would have the help of the beast tamer''s spiritual pets, they also needed to protect the beast tamer.


    "Zhao Feng, first, give the draconic providence in your Dragon Jade to the Ninth Prince," Old Ying suddenly said before they were about to take action.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng didn''t really care. Draconic providence wasn''t of much use to him anyway, and giving it to the Ninth Prince would increase the latter''s chances of survival.


    "Eh? Your Dragon Jade?" Jing Kai was surprised. The Dragon Jade in Zhao Feng''s hand was bright and smooth, and the outline of a dragon flashed, meaning that there was a plentiful supply of draconic providence within it.


    The light that Zhou Su''er''s Dragon Jade gave off already surprised the three of them, but Zhao Feng''s Dragon Jade was even brighter.


    "En, I was pretty lucky and managed to conquer a few early-stage Sacred Lord inheritances." Zhao Feng smiled. He hadn''t used any draconic providence on himself after entering the Imperial Tombs, so he obviously had more than Zhou Su''er.


    The Ninth Prince felt confident when he looked at Zhao Feng. He took out his pseudo Crown Prince Seal to transfer the draconic providence.


    Jing Kai''s face went green. Old Ying and he had passed a couple tattered inheritances smoothly and thought that they were the group with the most rewards, but Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er ¨C a beast tamer and a doctor ¨C had passed through several inheritances. Their luck was just way too good.


    "Okay, let''s go."


    Old Ying led Zhao Feng and Jing Kai and charged out. They first inspected their surroundings, and after making sure there was no one around, told the Ninth Prince and Zhou Su''er to move to the new hiding spot.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Gusts of wind blew across the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground like claws and fangs. After entering, they felt a limitless aura of Darkness that suppressed them. Heaven and Earth seemed to change instantly from day to night.


    "The Wind of Darkness has the ability to erode. Use your True Yuan to protect your bodies," Old Ying said.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground had become weaker, just this random Wind of Darkness would be able to easily kill Peak-tier Kings. The further one went, the stronger the wind. Eventually, even a Sacred Lord wouldn''t be able to withstand it.

    Chapter 945 - Easy


    "The Wind of Darkness has the ability to erode. Use your True Yuan to protect your bodies," Old Ying said.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground had become weaker, just this random Wind of Darkness would be able to easily kill Peak-tier Kings. The further one went, the stronger the wind. Eventually, even a Sacred Lord wouldn''t be able to withstand it.


    The entire Black Wind Canyon was dark, and the howl of the wind was like the cries of wolves. When the black wind touched the True Yuan protecting Zhao Feng''s body, a part of it passed through the True Yuan and entered Zhao Feng''s body.


    "This Wind of Darkness has an air of Yin that can directly enter the soul." Zhao Feng was surprised.


    The forbidden grounds in the Imperial Tombs were indeed not to be underestimated. Who knew what other dangers there were apart from the Wind of Darkness?


    "That''s right, if one''s willpower isn''t strong enough, the air of Yin might awaken the evil desires within the bottom of their hearts and change their personality," Old Ying added.


    "This Wind of Darkness has an ability like that?" Jing Kai started to tremble and felt that this place was evil.


    The trio was were extremely careful when entering the Black Wind Canyon, and because of the black wind, they couldn''t see much around them. This even included Zhao Feng''s left eye; it was heavily restricted unless Zhao Feng circulated the ability of his golden eye, but that would use up too much energy.


    "Yin Wind Grass!" Jing Kai suddenly said.


    They looked carefully and indeed saw a few pieces of Yin Wind Grass in a crack between some rocks not far away. While Yin Wind Grass wasn''t extremely high grade, they were rather rare, and they were very useful for those that cultivated the elements of Yin, Wind, and Evil.


    Herbs that contained the elements of Wind and Yin together were extremely rare in the continent zone. Zhao Feng walked forward and started to pluck them.


    "Zhao Feng, the Yin Wind Grass has been heavily affected by the Wind of Darkness and contains great Yin power. I know you cultivate a Wind-elemental technique, but it''s hard to get rid of this air of Yin," Old Ying warned.


    Old Ying had seen Zhao Feng get rid of some poison in the Saint Herb Pavilion, but in that instance, the Sky Rainbow Fire Beehive had only merged with the poison accidently. The Yin Wind Grass of the Black Wind Canyon had grown here from the start and had been mutated by the Wind of Darkness. The air of Yin within it would be hard to get rid of.


    "I know," Zhao Feng replied. He saw some more ahead and went forward to pluck them too.


    Zhao Feng wasn''t scared of this measly air of Yin given the level of his soul and the power of God Tribulation Lightning. If this air of Yin was strong enough, it could even refine his willpower.


    "Old Ying, if he doesn''t want to listen, then don''t bother." Jing Kai shook his head. He didn''t like how Zhao Feng ignored Old Ying''s warning.


    Old Ying had led the Ninth Prince and Jing Kai to perfectly pass through two inheritances while dodging all the dangers. Jing Kai really admired Old Ying''s strength and experience.


    The only thing he didn''t understand was why Old Ying believed in Zhao Feng so much. They were originally planning to leave the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground, but Old Ying suddenly changed his decision when Zhao Feng arrived. From Jing Kai''s point of view, an extra Zhao Feng wasn''t enough to handle the danger of the Black Wind Canyon.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng felt a weird Soul undulation, and his left eye caught sight of a black figure hiding in the black winds ahead.


    "Watch out!" Old Ying and Jing Kai also sensed it and charged forward.


    Wu~~


    A cold roar sounded from the nearby black wind, and a condensed wind swept toward Zhao Feng. The outline of a snarling mouth could be seen within the black wind.


    Old Ying immediately circulated his True Yuan and jumped into the air while pointing out with his finger.


    Whoosh!


    A dark beam of light shot out from Old Ying''s finger, which merged into the air and hit the ball of black wind.


    Bam!


    The ball of black wind turned into a human-like monster that now lay on the ground. It had an ugly expression, and its teeth grinded against each other as if it hadn''t eaten in a long time.


    "What¡­ what is this monster?" Jing Kai started to shake, and he immediately circulated his True Yuan, creating countless beams of golden light.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Countless beams of golden light shot toward the black monster.


    Bam! Bam!


    Several beams of golden light stabbed into the monster''s body, but it didn''t have much of an effect.


    Wu~~~


    The black monster seemed to become angry, and it roared at Jing Kai. A gust of even-stronger black wind merged with the black wind nearby and swept toward Jing Kai.


    "Why isn''t it effective!?" Jing Kai exclaimed in surprise and waved his left hand. A large vine shot out from the ground and blocked the black wind, but the air of Yin that could affect souls passed directly through the vine and landed on Jing Kai''s soul, causing it to feel cold and start to hurt.


    "This is a Black Wind Yin Ghost, formed by the black wind and the soul of the Black Wind Canyon. Only soul attacks are effective against it," Old Ying said and pointed out another few times.


    Whoosh! Whoosh¡­!


    Dark beams of light merged into the air and instantly landed on the Black Wind Yin Ghost. After a series of screams, the Black Wind Yin Ghost faded away and turned into uncountable bits of Yin air.


    After seeing Old Ying get rid of the Black Wind Yin Ghost, Zhao Feng put away the Yin Wind Grass and slowly stood up. These Black Wind Yin Ghosts were unique, and their overall strength was comparable to normal Kings, but they could unleash more power in this unique environment.


    "You''re just a beast tamer, don''t get too far away from us!" Jing Kai yelled at Zhao Feng. From his perspective, Zhao Feng was so scared by the Black Wind Yin Ghost just now that he didn''t even dare to move. If it weren''t for Old Ying and himself, the result would have been unimaginable.


    "Hmm? These black stones also contain a lot of Yin and Wind." Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto a small black stone that was revealed on stone wall nearby.


    "You¡­!" Jing Kai''s eyes seethed with anger after seeing Zhao Feng completely ignore him.


    Boom!


    "These monsters are so troublesome."


    The sound of fighting could be heard not far away. It was obvious that the other group had also met the Black Wind Yin Ghosts. All the experts that had entered this place were at the peak amongst those of the same cultivation.


    "Use soul attacks." They also found the weakness of the Black Wind Yin Ghosts and instantly finished them off.


    An elder saw several figures nearby and called out to them, "May I know which prince''s team you are from? The fortune of the Black Wind Canyon is what''s most important; are you willing to team up with us?"


    Old Ying slowly approached them; "Indeed, we can look out for each other."


    There was a group of three ahead of them. They were members of the Sixth Prince''s team; the leader was the Regulations Elder of a three-star power known as the Glass Door, and he was a Quasi-Sacred Lord. The other two were a young Emperor and another Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    "So, it''s Old Ying." The leading Elder in purple was full of smiles.


    "Hmm? Why is there a King here?" The young Emperor was surprised. From his point of view, Old Ying''s group was slightly weak, and the King probably had a defensive Soul treasure on him to be able to enter this place.


    The other Quasi-Sacred Lord also glanced at Zhao Feng, but they didn''t say anything.


    "We found a stone cave and were just about to enter it, but we met a lot of Black Wind Yin Ghosts before we could." The elder in purple robes had a faint smile. It was obvious what his intentions were.


    "Then let''s go in together." Old Ying''s expression remained the same.


    If there was no danger involved, would they invite them? Old Ying already knew his intentions.


    Under the guidance of the elder in purple robes, the group soon saw a stone entrance after a couple steps.


    This time, no Black Wind Yin Ghosts charged out, and the group carefully stepped into it. The instant they entered it, a strong surge of Yin air washed over their souls.


    The young Emperor instantly screamed in pain, while Jing Kai wasn''t much better ¨C his face twisted and struggled. The three Quasi-Sacred Lords had stronger souls and might''ve had some defensive Soul treasures as well, so the air of Yin wasn''t very effective on them.


    Zhao Feng immediately stood out, catching the attention of the purple-clad elder and the other Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    The purple in elder gave a glance toward Zhao Feng; The expression of this late-stage King junior hasn''t changed. Looks like his defensive Soul treasure isn''t normal.


    "Is this the power of a Little World?" Old Ying''s voice sounded.


    "Could it be that this is the inheritance of a Sacred Lord?" The elder in purple directed his attention away from Zhao Feng and started to inspect it closely.


    The strength of a Sacred Lord who was able to set up an inheritance in the Black Wind Canyon was definitely not simple, and the tests they left behind would also be rather difficult.


    The group''s speed instantly increased.


    Almost all of the inheritances of late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords were in the hands of the top five princes. Their group was too weak, and it was hard to receive a cut of whatever they did manage to find.


    Old Ying''s group was the same. They hadn''t been to any inheritances of a late-stage Sacred Lord.


    A dark area of snow and ice appeared in front of them before they even managed to take a few steps. In the center of the world of snow and ice was a tattered and broken castle of ice.


    "Hmm? There''s no test?" Old Ying''s voice was raspy.


    This Little World inheritance was different from the ones he had been in before. There was no noise at all.


    "This Little World is already broken. The tests left behind have most likely been destroyed as well." The elder in purple scanned over the place.


    They didn''t find anything suspicious, so they carefully headed toward the ice castle.


    "Inheritance Sacred weapon!" The young Emperor saw an item through the cracks of the broken ice castle and charged forward.


    The elder in purple had a calm expression and didn''t stop him. Everyone watched as the young Emperor easily obtained a black hammer and put it into his interspatial storage item.


    The eyebrows of Old Ying and the elder in purple furrowed. They felt that something was wrong.


    The group increased their speed and entered the ice castle. Countless tattered old books were placed on the right side of the ice castle, and there were some weapons on the left.


    At the very center of the ice castle was a large crystalline blue coffin. A skeleton lay in it, and next to the skeleton was a dark golden ring.


    "The resources of an entire inheritance!" The elder in purple was stunned.


    All of this had been too simple. They reached the treasury of a Sacred Lord''s inheritance without any resistance. He couldn''t believe it.


    At the same time, he started to regret inviting Old Ying and company. They originally thought that the stone cave would be full of danger.


    "I led all of you into this Little World inheritance, and none of you put in any effort. We take 70% while you get 30%." The elder in purple smiled faintly at Old Ying and spoke with a decisive tone. He had no intention of negotiating.


    The two groups instantly looked at one another and became silent. The elder in purple robes and company all had faint cold smiles.


    "Old Ying, your group is just too weak, or else 50-50 would have been fine too." The elder in purple didn''t hide it anymore. He had two Quasi-Sacred Lords and one Emperor in his group; no matter how he looked at it, they were stronger than Old Ying''s group.

 946 Ice Crystal Giant Bear

    Chapter 946 - Ice Crystal Giant Bear


    "Old Ying, your group is just too weak, or else 50-50 would have been fine too." The elder in purple didn''t hide it anymore. He had two Quasi-Sacred Lords and one Emperor in his group; no matter how he looked at it, they were stronger than Old Ying''s group.


    "Old Ying!" Jing Kai instinctively looked toward Old Ying and felt that the situation wasn''t looking good.


    Old Ying had a calm expression and didn''t say anything. He admitted that the strength of his group was relatively weak, but only in comparison to the groups of the top five princes.


    Old Ying believed that Zhao Feng should be able to handle at least one Quasi-Sacred Lord. The only weakness in their group was Jing Kai.


    "If you guys perform well in the dangers ahead, we can split the treasures 50-50," the other Quasi-Sacred Lord said.


    How could they leave this place so easily after obtaining all the wealth of a Sacred Lord? The Sixth Prince had no intention of becoming the Crown Prince, so he didn''t care about draconic providence at all. Finding resources and wealth was their only mission in the Imperial Tombs. Therefore, they still needed to work together with Old Ying''s group if they wanted the rest of the wealth.


    Zhao Feng carefully inspected the three in front of him. Their soul-strength wasn''t too low, and they had defensive Soul treasures. However, after being in the Black Wind Canyon for such a long time, the desires in their hearts had been ignited. They hadn''t realized it yet, but as time passed, their personalities would change even more.


    It seemed like this forbidden ground wasn''t as simple as they thought, or else it wouldn''t be able to affect the personality of a Quasi-Sacred Lord without them even knowing.


    Zhao Feng looked at Jing Kai. While the latter seemed scared and didn''t know what to do, he could see the unwillingness, anger, and desire for the inheritance.


    "Splitting it like that is too troublesome. Why don''t we use our own skills, and whoever gets the treasure first keeps it?" Zhao Feng stepped forward with a faint smile.


    "What did you say?" The purple-robed elder looked at Zhao Feng with surprise.


    That was exactly what he wanted, but he didn''t say it in order to maintain a semblance of teamwork between the two groups. If they really used this method, Old Ying''s group might not even be able to get 30%, let alone 50%.


    "Hehe, we can do it that way as well." The young Emperor looked at Zhao Feng and laughed coldly. He was already getting impatient.


    "Zhao Feng?" Old Ying was dazed and didn''t know what Zhao Feng meant by this. At least for the moment, he didn''t want the two groups to break up. While the resources here were rare even for Old Ying, it wasn''t as if there would be no chances in the future. He placed greater importance on draconic providence, and the three of them had already obtained half of the draconic providence here. This was why Old Ying was planning to give in to them.


    "Zhao Feng, what did you say?" Jing Kai looked angrily at Zhao Feng with cold eyes. Instead of using their own skill and maybe getting 30%, it was better to just split it 50-50.


    "Old Ying, your group member is the one who gave this suggestion." The purple-robed elder gave a wicked laugh, and both sides became silent.


    Hu~~


    The six figures moved at once. Their target was the same ¨C the interspatial ring within the crystalline ice coffin .


    While there were a lot of other items in the ice castle, it was obvious that whatever was contained in this interspatial ring was the most valuable.


    "Purple Light Destroying the Sky!" The elder in purple robes blocked Old Ying and thrust out his palm. A purple-colored palm made of light filled the sky and crashed over.


    It was obvious that the purple-robed elder''s group had already discussed what to do. The elder in purple robes would stall Old Ying. Meanwhile, the young Emperor charged toward Jing Kai. A long golden axe appeared in his hand, which he waved fiercely and unleashed red flashing light everywhere.


    Jing Kai showed no signs of weakness against an Emperor. Countless beams of golden light spun around his body as he clashed against the young Emperor. Jing Kai''s display was extremely courageous and fierce.


    "Hehe, Old Ying, since your group member wants to split it this way, then we''ll follow through with it." The purple-robed elder thrust out another purple Destruction palm.


    "Lei Tong, don''t injure the Ninth Prince''s beast tamer. Just take the interspatial ring." The elder in purple robes pretended to be nice, but he had an evil smile.


    "Don''t worry." The other Quasi-Sacred Lord was full of smiles. It would be extremely easy to deal with a King.


    He knew that Zhao Feng had the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, but he was ready for it. Even if the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s pollen hit him, he was confident that he could suppress Zhao Feng.


    "Lightning Restriction!" Lei Tong waved his palms, and a chain of lightning shot toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng retreated several steps and waved his left hand. A large white figure instantly appeared before Zhao Feng and charged at Lei Tong with its fierce beast aura.


    This was a rare beast that he had met while he was taming various beast packs, and he used a lot of effort to tame it.


    "This is a rare beast from the ancient dimension?" Lei Tong''s expression changed slightly as he looked at the white bear covered in crystalline icy hair.


    The strength of rare beasts already exceeded those at the same cultivation, and this Ice Crystal Giant Bear wasn''t suppressed by the laws of the dimension either.


    "How is this possible? How can that brat tame an Emperor-level rare beast?" The expression of the elder in purple robes was grim.


    They originally thought that Zhao Feng was going to rely on the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly that he got from Duke Nanfeng. They thought that his actual beast taming abilities were extremely average.


    Furthermore, even if he was good, how could a King-level beast tamer tame an Emperor-level rare beast? Even some Emperor-level Grandmaster Beast Tamers needed an entire group to help them for such a thing, and even then, it wasn''t guaranteed.


    "An Emperor-level Ice Crystal Giant Bear!" Old Ying couldn''t help but exclaim. In reality, he was also suspicious of Zhao Feng''s beast taming abilities, but Zhao Feng was able to surprise him every time.


    Zhao Feng managed to tame several strong rare beasts while he was conquering inheritances. This meant that it wasn''t a loss for him to use the array in the Dragon Jade. On top of that, Zhao Feng still had the substandard God Misty Spatial World.


    Roar~~~


    The Ice Crystal Giant Bear roared as its white claws shot toward Lei Tong like lightning. The chilly gust radiating from it even froze the air.


    The Lightning Restriction used by Lei Tong was blocked by the Ice Crystal Giant Bear and had zero effect.


    Whoosh!


    Lei Tong turned to the side and dodged the Ice Crystal Giant Bear''s attack.


    "Spear of Lightning." Lei Tong wouldn''t go easy on an Emperor-level Ice Crystal Giant Bear. Light sparkled around Lei Tong as a surge of lightning condensed into the shape of a spear.


    Hu~~


    Lei Tong gripped the Spear of Lightning, causing his momentum to rise. Lightning sparkled as he clashed against Ice Crystal Giant Bear.


    "What power!" Lei Tong''s hands went numb as he retreated back a couple steps.


    His Lightning elemental attacks weren''t very useful against the thick-skinned Ice Crystal Giant Bear, and he was even countered somewhat.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was walking toward the crystalline ice coffin.


    "Junior, don''t even think about it!" Lei Tong was enraged and threw his Spear of Lightning at the crystalline ice coffin. He then leapt at Zhao Feng with overwhelming speed.


    The Ice Crystal Giant Bear countered him to a certain degree, so Lei Tong changed his tactics and used his advantage of speed. He decided not to fight against the Ice Crystal Giant Bear; he would first suppress Zhao Feng and take away the interspatial ring. Speed was the Ice Crystal Giant Bear''s weakness.


    Whoosh!


    The Spear of Lightning stabbed into the ice coffin, less than an inch away from the interspatial ring.


    Boom!


    The crystalline ice coffin was already damaged, and it immediately exploded when it was further damaged.


    "Junior, I''ll get rid of you first!" Fierceness flashed across Lei Tong''s eyes as he leapt toward the quickly-retreating Zhao Feng.


    "I''ve already got the interspatial ring though. Shouldn''t we stop now?"


    Lei Tong was stunned. Under his blow just now, his Spear of Lightning landed right next to the interspatial ring and caused the ice coffin to explode. Zhao Feng wasn''t even near the interspatial ring yet.


    Miao!


    At this moment, with a flash of silver, a little cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder. It raised its head and chest, as if saying that it was the one who took the ring.


    "A spiritual pet with a talent in Space laws." Lei Tong''s eyes froze. He clenched his fists and looked unwillingly at Zhao Feng.


    At this point, the purple-robed elder and the other Emperor saw the result of Lei Tong and Zhao Feng''s fight. Their expressions started to flicker, and they still couldn''t accept this.


    "Stop. There should be plenty of other treasures here." Old Ying saw the struggle in their expressions and spoke.


    "Fine. Old Ying, you won this time." The purple-robed elder gave a deep glance toward Zhao Feng.


    Lei Tong and the other young Emperor stopped attacking and started to scour some of the leftover resources from within the ice castle.


    "This Zhao Feng is extremely troublesome, and his spiritual pets are very unique," Lei Tong explained to the other two. He felt humiliated and angry losing to a King.


    "Hehe, there''s no need to worry. Right now, we still need help from Old Ying''s group, but when the time''s ripe, we will take it all back." The elder in purple robes implied a lot with his words.


    "That''s right. We''ll just leave it with them for now." The young Emperor was extremely excited.


    Jing Kai was overjoyed at what happened and ran over impatiently. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng''s spiritual pets to be so strong or that he would actually obtain the interspatial ring without anyone knowing.


    "What''s in the interspatial ring?"


    Zhao Feng put his Divine Sense into the interspatial dimension and was slightly puzzled; "It''s just the wealth of an early-stage Sacred Lord."


    "An early-stage Sacred Lord''s wealth isn''t bad, especially since this is still just the boundary of the Black Wind Canyon." Jing Kai was looking forward to what awaited them.


    Old Ying''s group then split the items within the interspatial ring. Zhao Feng alone took 40% of it.


    "Old Ying, the journey in the Black Wind Canyon has just begun." The elder in purple robes was expressionless, as if he had already forgotten what just happened.


    "En."


    The two groups saw another group enter the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground the instant they exited the inheritance.


    "That''s a group from the Second Prince''s team?" The purple-robed elder''s eyebrows furrowed.


    The Second Prince wasn''t that ambitious, but the forces supporting him were extremely complex, so his team was ranked 5th among the other princes.


    This group had three Quasi-Sacred Lords and one Emperor, but the strength of each member was most likely stronger than both of their groups. The combined force of their two groups might not be at an advantage against this one group belonging to the Second Prince.


    "We should take action quickly. The Wind of Darkness around the Black Wind Canyon fluctuates in power. We don''t know when it''ll return to normal." Lei Tong''s eyes were impatient, and everyone sped up their pace. There would be more and more groups coming here as time passed, so they couldn''t afford to waste any time.

 947 Stunning Treasure Glow

    Chapter 947 - Stunning Treasure Glow


    Within the Great Gan Imperial Palace, the ancient and weird stone tablet floated in the sky, and there was a unique energy undulation as it connected with the ten white screens around it. Within the center of each screen was a prince.


    The experts around the great all and in the clouds could only see the image around the princes. The clarity of any images away from them were blurry.


    At this moment, almost everyone''s attention was gathered on the Second Prince''s screen.


    "The Second Prince also came to the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground."


    "Unfortunately, the Second Prince didn''t go in himself."


    "Why would a prince take such a risk? If they met danger and had to use the pseudo Crown Prince Seal to ask for help, that would be the end of the trial for them."


    The experts in the clouds discussed with one another. Entering any forbidden ground in the Crown Prince trial was extremely rare, so it attracted a lot of attention. Everyone wanted to know if there were still any ancient treasures within the ancient dimension.


    "The Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground is one of the most dangerous forbidden grounds in the Imperial Tombs. Luckily, Chen''er is far away from that place." The powerful male understood the Thirteenth Prince''s personality very well. If the Thirteenth Prince was there and realized that the place wasn''t quite as forbidden anymore, he would definitely enter.


    The halls with the tensest atmosphere were obviously the Ninth Prince''s and Second Prince''s halls.


    "Will Zhao Feng be okay entering the forbidden ground?" An Elder from a two-star power was puzzled. While he didn''t exactly think well of Zhao Feng, he was still part of the team, and he had already used the array in his Dragon Jade. If he died, the Ninth Prince would lose a team member.


    "There shouldn''t be any problem since Old Ying is leading the group." Although Duke Nanfeng said this, he didn''t feel certain. Back in the day, he also participated in the Crown Prince trial, and he knew how terrifying the forbidden grounds were.


    Apparently, even back then, the Wind of Darkness in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground showed signs of becoming weaker.


    Within the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Grounds:


    "Another inheritance!" Lei Tong was stunned.


    On a wall ahead of them was an ancient stone door. There was a layer of water over it that gave off a multi-colored light.


    Most Sacred Lords left their inheritance behind in a natural environment and awaited those that were destined to open it. The reason why there were so many entrances outside of the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground was because these inheritances had already been discovered, but no one had conquered them yet. Their entrances were exposed, but the contents were still available.


    Almost no one knew anything about the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground. Only the Sacred Lords that were about to die would risk coming here to set up their inheritance. In terms of fairness, the entrances probably should''ve been re-hidden or something, but no one cared anymore. It''s not as if finding an entrance would guarantee success.


    "Fortune is indeed everywhere." Jing Kai couldn''t contain his excitement and instantly leapt into the air.


    The members of the purple-robed elder''s group looked at one another and entered the stone door before Jing Kai. Old Ying and Zhao Feng quickly followed behind them.


    At this instant, Heaven and Earth changed. Everyone arrived on a desolate island surrounded by black tornados. There were countless whirlpools in the water around the island, as if this was a place of despair.


    "This is definitely the inheritance left behind by a late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord." The elder in purple robes spread his senses and was extremely excited.


    This Little World inheritance had been damaged as well. There were countless cracks in the Little World, and gusts of black wind flowed everywhere, but this place was still able to function despite its heavy damage. From this, one could see how unusual it was.


    "But why are there Black Wind Yin Ghosts in this inheritance?" The young Emperor looked ahead. There were countless human-shaped skeletons on the island, with no signs of anyone alive.


    Countless Black Wind Yin Ghosts walked eerily around the island. At the very center of the desolate island was a wooden tower. There was a glow of treasures coming from it, and it was so bright that the entire wooden tower lit up with a golden color.


    "A Sacred Lord most likely set up their inheritance here, but when the source of energy supporting the Little World ran out, the Wind of Darkness finally eroded this place and ultimately killed any human-like beings, turning their souls into Black Wind Yin Ghosts." The elder in purple robes was excited.


    From the looks of it, the test of this inheritance was to kill the Black Wind Yin Ghosts. This was the inheritance of a late-stage Sacred Lord, and the test was actually so simple.


    "Old Ying, which members of your team specialize in soul attacks?" the purple-robed elder asked with a smile.


    This was the time to team up.


    "Just me," Old Ying replied without hesitation.


    "That''s no good. Lei Tong and I ¨C two Quasi-Sacred Lords ¨C can both use soul attacks. This means that your group is contributing less manpower."


    The purple-robed elder shook his head and gave Zhao Feng a glance before continuing to speak, "Although Zhao Feng is only a late-stage King, he was able to tame a rare beast like that giant bear. His Soul Intent definitely isn''t weak, and he must''ve learned some sort of offensive Soul secret technique."


    The purple-robed elder gave a faint smile and inspected Zhao Feng after saying this. On the other hand, Zhao Feng looked at the wooden tower and acted like he didn''t hear anything. The elder in purple robes felt slightly awkward; he couldn''t see through this junior at all.


    "He only specializes in illusions and doesn''t know any offensive skills," Old Ying replied for Zhao Feng. He could feel that this group was hiding their ill intentions, so he felt like he should hide Zhao Feng''s true strength and make them think he was weak.


    "How about Zhao Feng takes out some spiritual pets to use them as cover for us? If he does that, we can split the resources 50-50 in the end¡­ or we can do it depending on our skill again. What do you say to that?"


    The elder in purple robes wasn''t willing to give up. While Zhao Feng only had the cultivation of a late-stage King, the elder in purple robes could feel that this youth wasn''t simple, otherwise he wouldn''t have been able to obtain so much in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    When it came to Zhao Feng, many things that shouldn''t have happened had happened anyway, so the elder in purple robes wanted to probe Zhao Feng''s hidden cards.


    "That''s true. I don''t want to obtain anything without putting in any effort." Zhao Feng put his consciousness into the Misty Spatial World and picked out more than a dozen black striped venomous scorpions at the late-stage King level.


    The stingers of the black striped scorpions were venomous and had the ability to erode souls. To a certain extent, it could be considered a soul attack.


    "Great! Old Ying, your beast tamer is indeed not simple. These black striped venomous scorpions are also beasts from the Imperial Tombs, right?"


    The eyes of the elder in purple robes sharpened as he looked at the black striped venomous scorpions on the ground, and he felt smug. Another one of Zhao Feng''s hidden cards had been revealed.


    Zhao Feng gave a glance toward the elder in purple robes but didn''t say anything.


    "Let''s start." Since Lei Tong lost to Zhao Feng in the last inheritance, he was getting impatient to release his anger.


    "Let''s go, Old Ying." The elder in purple robes shot out, and he released a surge of Soul power.


    The elder in purple robes thrust out his palm, and a surge of purple light that could damage the physical and soul dimensions shot out.


    Ultimately, he was a Quasi-Sacred Lord that had attempted to break through to the Mystic Light Realm before, so he knew a bit about merging his soul and True Yuan together.


    At the same time, a large number of Black Wind Yin Ghosts on the desolate island were attracted over. They turned into condensed black tornados and swept toward the group.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Old Ying''s figure started to move through the air. The hand hidden in his black robes pointed out, and several dark beams of light merged into the air and hit the critical points on the Black Wind Yin Ghosts.


    Old Ying used an extremely profound Soul technique that also contained the laws of Space.


    A dark pearl of lightning appeared in Lei Tong''s hand. All he needed to do was pour his Soul power into it and the pearl of lightning would be able to release Lightning-elemental soul attacks. This was a support-type item that he had prepared specifically for the Crown Prince trial.


    Ahead of Zhao Feng were more than a dozen black striped venomous scorpions that attracted the firepower of the Black Wind Yin Ghosts.


    Under their combined attacks, the number of Black Wind Yin Ghosts on the desolate island started to decrease. All the Black Wind Yin Ghosts were destroyed after two hours.


    The six instantly charged into the wooden tower that was giving off a thick glow of treasure. They would split it by whoever got there first.


    Old Ying, Jing Kai, and the elder in purple robes entered through the front door while Zhao Feng, Lei Tong, and the young Emperor flew toward the window on the second floor.


    "A peak Earth-grade weapon!" The young Emperor paused for a moment.


    Everything within the wooden tower, such as the mirrors, paintings, and candles gave off the aura of peak Earth-grade items.


    "Heaven-grade weapon!" Lei Tong''s eyes locked onto a row of golden maobi (Chinese writing brush used to write calligraphy) next to a table, and he charged over. This was a set of peak Earth-grade items, and their combined force had reached the level of a Heaven-grade item.


    "Battle technique!" The young Emperor charged over to a stand next to the bed, and there was an ancient book lying on it.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng flew toward the bed and found several dozen substandard God crystals and pill bottles underneath the pillow.


    "Junior, are you thinking of taking all those substandard God Crystals for yourself?" Lei Tong leapt toward Zhao Feng after putting away the Heaven-grade maobi, and lightning started to crackle on his hands.


    Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same, and he simply put the pill bottles and substandard God Crystals into the Misty Spatial World.


    Lei Tong revealed a faint smile as his palm flashed with lightning toward Zhao Feng.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly as he circulated his Fire of Wind Lightning and punched out.


    Boom!


    The exchange of fist and palm caused lightning and fire to explode. Zhao Feng remained unmoving while Lei Tong was sent crashing onto the wood floor. His right palm was scorched black and numb, and the blood within his body started to toss and turn.


    "How is this possible!?" Lei Tong was shocked. Although he only used 60% of his full power just now, why was he the one at the disadvantage? The opponent was just a Void God Realm King; how could Zhao Feng be so strong? The elements of Fire and Lightning contained within his attack made Le Tong''s heart rate speed up.


    "Lei Tong? You two¡­" The young Emperor put the book away and saw the scene of Lei Tong flying into the floor. He was just about to question them, but¡­


    Boom! Boom!


    The entire inheritance started to shake. The air above them started to shatter and extend downward. The ocean below started to rise.


    This desolate island was about to be swallowed by the water.


    Crack!


    "Not good, this Little World is about to crumble!" The purple-robed elder''s voice sounded from below.


    "Zhao Feng, Jing Kai, let''s go!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly. He took a few more items, then flew into the air.


    The six figures flew out from the cracks of the Little World and returned to the Black Wind Canyon. They were all dazed the instant they came out, and their gazes all gathered onto one spot.


    A nine-colored glow of treasure came from the depths of the Black Wind Canyon. Its light was so strong that it broke past the black wind and lit up the sky. It was as if there was a peerless treasure in the depths of the Black Wind Canyon that had exceeded the Mystic Light Realm, and it just woke up. Even the Black Wind Canyon was unable to hide its glow.


    "What¡­ what kind of treasure is over there?" Jing Kai swallowed his saliva and was unable to move his gaze away from the nine-colored glow.


    A group of four jumped out from a pathway hidden by some rubble on the other side of the Black Wind Canyon.


    "Could it be that a substandard God weapon has appeared?" An elder with a goatee from the Second Prince''s group looked into the distance with shock and joy.

 948 Centre of the Forbidden Grounds

    Chapter 948 - Center of the Forbidden Ground


    Ten thousand miles away from the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground:


    "Jiang Hao, it''s all thanks to you that we were able to easily pass through this early-stage Sacred Lord''s inheritance."


    "Jiang Hao, I heard that you have a high chance of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm. Why are you still suppressing your cultivation?"


    Four figures jumped out from an inheritance. The leader was a handsome middle-aged male with white hair and sparkling eyes.


    "I have to succeed at breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm in one go." Jiang Hao''s tone was decisive.


    If one failed to break through to the Mystic Light Realm even once, the possibility of success in the future would lower. Every time one failed, one''s lifeforce and soul would become weaker, and those were basically impossible to replace. Therefore, anyone who broke through to the Mystic Light Realm in one try had much a better foundation and much better potential than someone who took several tries.


    Jiang Hao''s ambition made the others who had already failed to break through to the Mystic Light Realm feel guilty and envious.


    "What''s that!?" someone exclaimed, and everyone raised their heads.


    Hua!


    A glow of treasure that contained nine colors lit up the sky. It was extremely bright, as if a peerless mountain of treasure was just revealed.


    The light made could move one''s heart. Everyone instantly stopped speaking, and they were unable to turn away.


    "This is¡­ the treasure glow of a divine item!" A light flashed through an elder''s eyes as he spoke with a trembling voice, but his tone was certain.


    "I have never seen a treasure with such a glow." The eyes of another elder with white hair sparkled.


    "Let''s go over there!" Jiang Hao paused for a moment as well before his heart started to speed up. How could he miss such a peerless treasure?


    The other three were overjoyed when they heard Jiang Hao''s words, and they all sprinted toward the treasure glow.


    In a swamp in the depths of the Imperial Tombs, four figures passed through some trees. The leader was someone completely covered in black robes. Three people followed behind him carefully. The entire group was silent.


    The black-robed figure suddenly stopped and looked into the distance. The expressions of the other three members became pale with fear, and they looked in the direction where the black-robed person was looking but saw nothing.


    The three people looked at one another with puzzlement. They didn''t understand what the leading black-robed figure was looking at.


    "Let''s go." The black-robed person changed directions.


    "Senior Black Robes, are we not going to the inheritance?" a member couldn''t help but ask.


    The black-robed person suddenly looked in a random direction and changed their destination right afterward without even discussing. The others were dissatisfied and slightly hesitant.


    They had to admit that they were unlucky to be put in the black-robed person''s group. The black-robed person had a weird personality, and he was rather scary.


    Luckily, the black-robed person''s strength was great, so their journey had been safe so far.


    "Stop talking garbage," the black-robed person''s hoarse voice sounded, and he even turned his head around. The aura of Death started to spread.


    The three members'' souls started to shake, and they immediately shut up.


    The Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground was filled with a nine-colored light.


    Old Ying and the purple-robed elder''s groups were covered by this nine-colored light, and they felt stunned by the enormous treasure glow coming from it. They felt like they were extremely small in comparison, like a beggar seeing the royal treasury. Rather than rushing over immediately, they were rooted to the ground in shock and confusion.


    "Even an Ancient God Weapon can''t display such a scene." Zhao Feng was shocked. The display of the tattered sword in Xie Yang Palace wasn''t even one hundredth of this.


    What kind of item did the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground contain? Even the normally-calm Zhao Feng felt a strong desire to obtain it.


    "Let''s go. We can''t lose our advantage. The other groups nearby will also be attracted to it." The purple-robed elder''s eyes shone as he sped toward the depths of the Black Wind Canyon. He couldn''t remain calm in the face of this stunning treasure.


    "Let''s go over as well." Lei Tong and the young Emperor were unable to think properly, but they immediately charged over.


    "Ai, such a weapon isn''t something we can control." Old Ying sighed and was feeling indecisive.


    Such an ancient treasure definitely wasn''t something they could control. If this treasure appeared in the continent zone, it would cause a war between multiple lord dynasties, and perhaps even a civil war.


    Even if they couldn''t get it though, Old Ying''s gaze couldn''t move away from it. He at least wanted to see what kind of treasure it was or else he wouldn''t be able to relax.


    "Old Ying, let''s go. Such a treasure appearing is also our fortune. We can''t just miss it like this." Jing Kai had an excited expression as he persuaded.


    Such a treasure could change anyone''s destiny. Jing Kai was already getting impatient after seeing the purple-robed elder''s group go over. If Old Ying didn''t agree, he obviously couldn''t go. He was an unrivalled Emperor in the outside world, but in here, he was just a normal team member. Quasi-Sacred Lords could be seen everywhere. Furthermore, this was the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground; such a treasure would definitely come with great danger, and he needed an experienced leader like Old Ying.


    "Fine, we''ll go over and have a look," Old Ying decided, and they started to head toward the depths of the Black Wind Canyon.


    Being one of the most dangerous forbidden grounds of the Imperial Tombs, even some of the stronger Sacred Lords wouldn''t go too far into the Black Wind Canyon to set up their inheritance. If it wasn''t because the black wind had suddenly weakened and then seeing a great treasure appear, Old Ying''s group would never dare to enter its depths.


    "Hmm? The black wind became a bit stronger?" Zhao Feng''s sharp eyes caught sight of a change in the air.


    Although the treasure glow changed the color of the area nearby and made it hard to distinguish things apart, it didn''t affect Zhao Feng''s left eye much.


    Zhao Feng glanced at Old Ying and Jing Kai. The two of them hadn''t sensed anything. It was obvious that the treasure glow had attracted everyone''s attention and made them forget about everything else.


    "Something''s not right." Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly as the power of the God Tribulation Lightning in his dark purple soul suddenly started to blink.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Thin wisps of dark aura were destroyed by the power of the God Tribulation Lightning and forced out of his body, where they merged with the black wind.


    I was unknowingly affected as well. Zhao Feng was extremely surprised. One had to know that his soul had reached the level of a Sacred Lord, and it was actually even more condensed and refined than a normal Sacred Lord.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes became a bit clearer after forcing the air of Yin outside his body.


    Let me have a look. Zhao Feng circulated his left eye, and a golden light spread through his eye.


    In the past, when Zhao Feng used this ability, everything in sight became a world constructed of atoms and used up a lot of energy. It was a case of information overload. However, now that Zhao Feng''s control was a lot better, he could choose what to see as atoms.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes gazed at the treasure glow that was shooting up into the sky, then started to trace it downward through the rocks.


    The treasure should be underground¡­ eh? Zhao Feng seemed to find something weird, and his face went slightly red before turning back to normal.


    "What is it, Zhao Feng?" Old Ying saw that Zhao Feng was acting differently than usual.


    "Zhao Feng, we need to be faster. This is a once-in-a-lifetime fortune," Jing Kai said impatiently.


    "Nothing, I just suddenly realized that the black wind has become stronger." Zhao Feng''s expression was grim.


    "Hmm? Indeed. Looks like we need to speed up." Old Ying''s expression became grim as well after sensing it carefully. If the black wind returned to its original state, then they would need to quickly retreat. Even Sacred Lords wouldn''t dare to go too deep into the black wind at its full strength.


    "Ai, your cultivation is too low¡­." Jing Kai looked at Zhao Feng with dissatisfaction. From his point of view, Zhao Feng couldn''t block the black wind because of his low cultivation.


    The three sped up and quickly headed toward the center of the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground. The further they went, the stronger the black wind became. Even Jing Kai felt an icy coldness.


    The purple-robed elder and company soon appeared in their vision.


    "Old Ying, our two groups are still together, right?" The purple-robed elder revealed a faint smile as he turned around. He hoped that Old Ying would come. Even if they didn''t get this treasure, they could just take back what they already had.


    "Of course." Old Ying sped up even more.


    Under the guidance of the purple-robed elder, everyone came to the center of the Black Wind Canyon and headed toward the treasure glow.


    This place was filled with giant room-sized stones made from a dark gray material. The treasure glow was coming from the center of the giant rocks, and the strong surge of pressure radiating from it made everyone unable to approach.


    Hu~~


    The treasure glow suddenly weakened, and the nine-colored light became dimmer until it completely faded back into the ground. The entire Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground became a world of darkness once more.


    "The pressure from the treasure glow has disappeared!" Lei Tong exclaimed, and all six of them shot into the air above the rocks.


    In just an instant, everyone arrived within range of where the treasure glow used to be, but they were unable to sense anything clearly because there were a bunch of stones everywhere, and the black wind was affecting their Divine Senses.


    "Purple Light Destroying the Sky!" The purple-robed elder thrust out a palm, and the figure of a giant palm made of purple light thudded onto the stones below.


    Bam!


    No one knew what these dark gray stones were made from. The purple-robed elder''s attack only left a few cracks on them.


    "It seems like it''s impossible to enter directly from here." The purple-robed elder was unwilling. The giant stones blocked everything, so it was impossible to enter through here.


    "We have to find another entrance." Jing Kai sighed.


    "I saw an entrance just now," Zhao Feng''s voice suddenly sounded. Everyone suddenly looked over like they were struck by lightning.


    "Where!?" the purple-robed elder immediately questioned.


    "We passed through a small cave entrance not far away from here. It seemed like it connected underground," Zhao Feng replied honestly, and the purple-robed elder and his group already started to fly over right after Zhao Feng finished speaking.


    The group soon arrived at the spot mentioned by Zhao Feng.


    "There really is an entrance here!" Lei Tong exclaimed with joy.


    In front of them was a cave entrance that could only fit one person at a time. The entrance was at the boundary of the giant stones, and they could faintly see a stone staircase leading down below.

 949 Green Bronze Pillar

    Chapter 949 - Green Bronze Pillar


    Within the Great Gan Imperial Palace, discussion broke out amongst the halls and the sky. Everyone''s gaze was locked onto the Second Prince''s and Ninth Prince''s screens.


    "This¡­ what kind of treasure is hidden within the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground?"


    "The light we see is probably just a small part."


    "Unfortunately, all the groups are spread out amongst the Imperial Tombs. A lot have entered the center already. If they worked together, it wouldn''t be impossible for them to get the treasure."


    At this instant, everyone paid more attention to the treasure compared to the Crown Prince trial. As long as someone was able to get this treasure, so what if the fight to become Crown Prince ended in utter failure?


    The Eight Big Families and other forces within the great hall ¨C including the Elder from Sky Suspension Palace ¨C looked at the screens in the sky with shock.


    Many people had regretful expressions. Why weren''t their clan members in the Black Wind Canyon right now?


    "Why is such a strong treasure glow coming from the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground? Ai, Chen''er is too far away from the Black Wind Canyon." The Thirteenth Prince''s uncle was stunned and hit his head with frustration.


    Those that were most excited were the halls of the Ninth, Fifth, and Second Princes. According to the screens, only these three forces had anyone in the Black Wind Canyon.


    Zhao Feng is indeed someone with great fortune. Duke Nanfeng sighed in his heart.


    Several other figures behind the great hall were talking to one another.


    "Something''s wrong. Why is there such a strong treasure glow coming from the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground?" a flabby-faced fatty with big ears said.


    "There''s too little information about the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground. They have Dragon Jades in their hands, so it shouldn''t be too much of a problem," a wrinkled elder replied.


    None of the princes were in the canyon.


    "If someone is able to take out this treasure, it will be a great fortune for the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty," a figure in the back said.


    The group of six entered the stone staircase in the center of the forbidden ground and was slowly going further in.


    "This pathway very likely leads to where the treasure is." The purple-robed elder''s eyes twinkled.


    The black wind within the pathway was more condensed than outside, and the pathway was almost completely pitch-black. Furthermore, the unique material of the walls dramatically reduced everyone''s senses.


    Wu~~~


    A ghastly cry suddenly sounded in the darkness, and a giant black figure swept toward the group like a tornado.


    "Not good; it''s an Emperor-level Black Wind Yin Ghost!"


    Everyone had a grim expression. As they thought, danger existed alongside fortune.


    They had all been wandering around outside for such a long time and only encountered King-level Black Wind Yin Ghosts, but they met an Emperor-level Black Wind Yin Ghost right after entering this pathway. From this, they could see that their path was correct.


    "Go!"


    The purple-robed elder attacked with a surge of Soul power. He thrust out his palm, and purple light that could damage both the physical and soul dimensions shot toward the Black Wind Yin Ghost.


    Lei Tong also took out a dark pearl of lightning and put his soul power into it. A bolt of lightning formed from his soul and instantly shot out, exploding on the head of the Black Wind Yin Ghost. Lightning attacks countered evil demons and spirits, so the effect was very obvious.


    Old Ying stood behind them and released beams of dark light that hit the critical points on the Black Wind Yin Ghost.


    The Emperor-level Black Wind Yin Ghost technically had its own consciousness, but it wasn''t very smart, so it was soon killed by the combined force of three Quasi-Sacred Lords.


    "Continue."


    After confirming that they had arrived at the right place, everyone became excited and sped up while also increasing their caution.


    The further they went, the bigger the pathway became, and everyone was able to walk in a row now. At the same time, the black wind almost completely blocked their sight, and the two Emperors were starting to have trouble blocking it.


    "These walls are even tougher than the giant rocks." The purple-robed elder sighed as he touched the walls. His attacks had only created a few several cracks on the rocks, but these walls were even tougher. They were even stronger than peak Earth-grade items.


    "Eh? A fork?"


    Everyone stopped walking. Old Ying and the purple-robed elder didn''t know what to do. There were two paths in front of them, and everyone''s senses were currently weakened by the black wind. They couldn''t notice any difference between the two paths.


    "It''s best not to split up," Old Ying said warily.


    The two groups weren''t very strong to begin with, and they were now in the unknown underground depths of the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground. If they split up, their chance of surviving would drop to almost zero.


    "Then let''s choose."


    The purple-robed elder agreed with what Old Ying said.


    Hu~ Hu~


    Just as the purple-robed elder and Old Ying were hesitating, two Black Wind Yin Ghosts appeared from one of the pathways. They weren''t Emperors, but they were stronger than the King ghosts outside.


    "Hahaha! This should be the path where fortune and danger coexist." The purple-robed elder laughed and then spread his palms, summoning a wave of purple light.


    Lei Tong and Old Ying also took action. They didn''t agree nor disagree with this method of distinguishing which way to go.


    Let''s have a look. Zhao Feng took half a step back and opened his left eye.


    Weng~~


    A faint golden ripple spread from Zhao Feng''s golden eye as he gazed downward. Zhao Feng''s left eye instantly saw through the wall that was made from countless complex atoms, but there was nothing too special about it.


    There was definitely a secret hall, but it was hidden very deeply. His left eye wasn''t capable of seeing through the entire path from here. The golden ripple of light disappeared from Zhao Feng''s left eye after a long time.


    Hu~~


    A Black Wind Yin Ghost suddenly appeared behind Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, watch out!" Old Ying instantly exclaimed after killing the Black Wind Yin Ghosts in front.


    Hu~ Hu~


    This Black Wind Yin Ghost turned into a black tornado and landed right on Zhao Feng''s back.


    Zhao Feng acted as if he hadn''t sensed anything, but the symbol of God Tribulation Lightning within his soul blinked.


    Boom!


    Lightning flashed around the black wind that landed on Zhao Feng''s back, and the ghost was instantly blown into bits.


    Si!


    Lei Tong had just turned around, and his heart shook when he saw this. He remembered the image of Zhao Feng exchanging blows with him. He was sure that Zhao Feng wasn''t as simple as he seemed, but he was too embarrassed to say that. Was he supposed to tell the purple-robed elder that he tried to ambush a King in the wooden tower, but was knocked on his ass instead?


    "Brat, didn''t you say that you don''t know any Soul-type secret techniques?" The purple-robed elder instantly flew over and questioned.


    The surge of Soul power within that blast of lightning gave off a terrifying Destructive aura that he could sense even from far away.


    "Do none of you have defensive treasures that protect the soul?" Zhao Feng mocked as his expression remained the same.


    The expression of the purple-robed elder kept on changing, but he didn''t say anything in the end, and they continued forward. He obviously had treasures that protected his soul, but they were nowhere near as strong as the one Zhao Feng had.


    The group went into one of the paths and continued forward.


    Boom! Hu~~


    The roar of Black Wind Yin Ghosts and the sound of battle came from ahead.


    "What? There''s someone ahead of us?" The purple-robed elder''s heart skipped a beat, and his expression became solemn. From the looks of it, there was more than one entrance to the underground.


    Everyone turned the corner and felt a strong gust of black wind approach them.


    Boom!


    The purple-robed elder waved his palms, and dark purple light split it apart.


    In a hall ahead of them were three Quasi-Sacred Lords and several dozen Black Wind Yin Ghosts. They fought while an Emperor that didn''t specialize in soul attacks hid behind them.


    All of these Black Wind Yin Ghosts were Emperors.


    "The Second Prince''s group!"


    When they were fighting over the wealth in the ice castle, they saw this group.


    The purple-robed elder''s expression faltered. He didn''t expect that the Second Prince''s group would be ahead of them.


    However, at this instant, the three Quasi-Sacred Lords were at a disadvantage, and they were forced outside the hall by the several dozen Black Wind Yin Ghosts. At the same time, even more King-level Black Wind Yin Ghosts appeared from the hall.


    "Fellow Daoists, our goal is the same. Help us. There is definitely a treasure within the hall."


    The leader was an elder with a goatee. A layer of Soul flames covered his body as he looked at the six behind him for assistance.


    "The hall?" The purple-robed elder''s eyes flashed. He was thinking about going back to the fork and trying the other pathway. After all, while there were only four people in the Second Prince''s group here, their overall strength surpassed theirs.


    "Let''s go, Old Ying. There is definitely a secret in the hall ahead of us." The purple-robed elder looked at Old Ying. If Old Ying wasn''t willing to help, then his own group would be suppressed by the Second Prince''s group if they were to scout together.


    "Okay." Old Ying looked ahead at the entrance blocked by countless Black Wind Yin Ghosts and agreed.


    "Zhao Feng, summon your black striped venomous scorpions as well." The purple-robed elder looked at Zhao Feng, who was hiding in the back.


    With the help of Old Ying, the purple-robed elder, and company, they all started to force the Black Wind Yin Ghosts back into the hall.


    "Thank you." The goateed elder expressed his thanks while they were fighting and inspected Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was only a King, but he was still able to maintain his consciousness even in such powerful black wind. His strength was incredible.


    The Black Wind Yin Ghosts that were fighting suddenly screamed and started to tremble. Then, they turned into countless black gusts of wind and retreated.


    "Eh? They all retreated?" The goateed elder felt that something was wrong.


    "There is most likely an intelligent Black Wind Yin Ghost here, so they retreated after seeing that they weren''t our match." A member from Second Prince''s group laughed and spoke.


    The appearance of the hall was revealed after all the Black Wind Yin Ghosts retreated.


    It was an empty hall that gave off an old and wicked aura. Countless complex array symbols covered the walls around the hall, and they occasionally blinked.


    At the very center of the hall was a large green bronze pillar. Countless snarling and fierce monsters and legendary species were carved on it. The imagery was so powerful that it created illusions when one looked at it.


    "Jing Kai!" Old Ying hit Jing Kai''s back and released a surge of Soul Intent into him.


    "What a terrifying green bronze pillar!" Jing Kai puffed as he was covered in cold sweat. If Old Ying hadn''t woken him up, he might have already died in the illusionary world.


    Zhao Feng inspected the fierce beasts on the green bronze pillar. They were similar to the Ancient Desolate Race in his memory, but they contained more details and seemed to be alive.


    There was a metallic black door built into the green bronze pillar. It was formed from countless small pieces of metal, and it belonged to the Way of Mechanisms.


    Countless sparkling gold-and-white array lines surrounded the green bronze pillar and the metallic black door. This seemed to be the core of the array in the hall.


    This mystic gold-and-white array also created a formation. Without the array''s help, even Quasi-Sacred Lords would fall into an illusionary world if they looked at the Ancient Desolate Beasts on the pillar.

 950 Revealing his Strength

    Chapter 950 - Revealing his Strength


    The three groups consisted of ten people in total, and everyone stood silently before the green bronze pillar.


    "Do any of you specialize in arrays or Heaven''s Legacy secret techniques?" the goateed elder asked with an awkward smile.


    Everyone lowered their heads and didn''t speak. It was obvious that no one did.


    Some inheritances in the Imperial Tombs required array or mechanisms masters to solve, but at the end of the day, the number was very small. Furthermore, even if someone here was familiar with arrays, this particular array was nothing like the arrays in any other inheritance. There were only a few people in the Imperial Tombs right now that could solve this array.


    "Can we work together to destroy it?" a Quasi-Sacred Lord from the goateed elder''s group murmured.


    Everyone was silent. How were they supposed to know what would happen if they didn''t know anything about arrays?


    "Let''s give it a try. Attack from a distance." The purple-robed elder thought for a moment. Many arrays could counterattack if they were attacked.


    "Okay." Old Ying also agreed.


    Everyone was unwilling to give up now after risking their lives and reaching the depths of the forbidden ground. It was obvious that everyone agreed, so they all retreated outside the hall.


    "Nine Yin Palm!" The goateed elder circulated his True Yuan, and his palm radiated a power aura of cold Yin as he thrust it out.


    Hu~~


    The figure of an icy palm swept over toward the green bronze pillar. The goateed elder unleashed this attack slowly, then retreated several steps back after doing so.


    The figure of the icy palm instantly landed on the gold-and-white array.


    Boom!


    The next second, the imprint of a hand suddenly appeared on the wall next to everyone.


    "How¡­ how is this possible?"


    The goateed elder was stunned, and his heart jumped. If it wasn''t for his extreme caution, he would have been hit by his own attack after it was reinforced and reflect by the array.


    The instant his attack touched the array, it immediately bounced back. No one even saw how it moved.


    Even Zhao Feng''s breathing stopped. Through his left eye, he could slowly replay what happened. However, even when he slowed it down to 0.2 times speed, he could only barely see it.


    The goateed elder was experienced and knowledgeable, so he took a few extra steps back after actually unleashing his attack, which is why the palm hit the wall instead of himself.


    It seemed like the experience of an elder was extremely useful. Despite his power, Zhao Feng didn''t have such a thing yet.


    Everyone else''s eyes bulged out in disbelief.


    "As I expected, such a treasure is destined not to belong to us." Old Ying sighed. From what just happened, they could all tell that the profundity of this array had already exceeded the level of a Mystic Light Realm.


    "Look¡­ the wall!" Jing Kai suddenly exclaimed.


    Everyone''s eyes moved away from the array and toward the handprint on the wall. There was a thin crack within the imprint.


    "This is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically when he saw what was inside with his left eye.


    "The aura of substandard God Crystals!" The purple-robed elder''s nose sniffed, and he spoke with certainty.


    "Everyone, attack this wall!" The goateed elder revealed a joyful expression. If they were unable to obtain the treasure sealed by the array, it wouldn''t be so bad to find some other stuff.


    Boom! Boom!


    Ice, lightning, fire, and wind barraged the wall.


    Bam!


    Under the combined efforts of everyone''s attacks, the wall shattered.


    Hu~~


    A surge of fiery hot Wind Lightning suddenly appeared from behind. A pair of Scarlet Wings of Lightning suddenly formed behind Zhao Feng''s back, and he forced back the three Emperors nearby with his powerful aura of fiery lightning.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng turned into a bolt of lightning and entered the hole in the wall first.


    "Zhao Feng!? How is this possible!?" The purple-robed elder was enraged and shocked.


    The strength that Zhao Feng displayed right now almost surpassed every peak Emperor in the Imperial Tombs. He didn''t expect that Zhao Feng was hiding himself so deeply.


    Now that Zhao Feng had revealed his strength and was the first to charge in, he had obviously discovered some sort of treasure.


    Hu~ Hu~


    Six Quasi-Sacred Lords charged after Zhao Feng into the other side of the wall.


    "This Zhao Feng is indeed strong." The young Emperor from the purple-robed Emperor''s group was shocked. In the last inheritance when Zhao Feng and Lei Tong fought, he realized that the one at a disadvantage was actually Lei Tong. Lei Tong was a Quasi-Sacred Lord, and his battle-power was comparable to normal Sacred Lords.


    The three Emperors didn''t show any signs of weakness, and they charged in as well.


    "This is¡­?"


    The six Quasi-Sacred Lords were dazed. The dimension was filled with light, and their bodies shook as a surge of ancient aura washed over them.


    Various objects, stones, and substandard God Crystals filled the entire place and gave off a bright light that lit up the entire dimension. Countless stones, broken objects, beast skins, pill bottles, and other items formed huge piles, and each object gave off an ancient aura. These items were all spread across the ground as if they were just trash.


    "This is¡­ God Fallen Metal, Sky Crystal Fire Mine, Purple and Gold Saint Jade¡­!"


    Even those from the older generations were only able to recognize a couple dozen of these items, and they started to tremble with excitement. Any random stone or scrap here would cause a war between four-star powers in the outside world.


    God Fallen Metal, which was just scattered about in this place, was a carefully-hidden resource kept by the Great Gan Imperials in their secret treasury.


    Most of the items here weren''t even recognizable, such as some brown beast skin and some unknown pills.


    "Take them all!"


    The six Quasi-Sacred Lords instantly abandoned their elegant manners and charged in, taking everything they found.


    There were so many treasures here that the three Emperors who followed behind them felt extremely satisfied just picking up some scraps.


    Everything here was soon wiped clean. Not even a tiny shard was left behind.


    "Zhao Feng, hand over half of what you obtained." The purple-robed elder instantly appeared before Zhao Feng and released his powerful aura. Lei Tong and another Emperor also arrived.


    Zhao Feng''s expression didn''t change under the purple-robed elder''s pressure. He simply looked at the elder with a cold gaze.


    "What is the meaning of this? We decided that whoever gets it first gets to keep it." Old Ying immediately stood forward.


    "Hmph, when we teamed up earlier, he concealed his strength and let us do all the hard work. I''m just telling him to hand over half."


    The purple-robed elder''s eyes shone. He saw Zhao Feng take a God Crystal a moment ago.


    A God Crystal, not a substandard God Crystal. That was something in the domain of Gods, and it was formed from the power of the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    "Junior, a measly King can''t keep all of those treasures safe." The goateed elder gave a faint smile.


    Zhao Feng was the first to go in. He obviously obtained the most valuable treasures in this place. Although Zhao Feng might be able to use the array to leave, he wouldn''t be able to run away anymore afterward.


    Old Ying had a grim expression. He didn''t think that the goateed elder would also participate in this. Old Ying wasn''t scared of the purple-robed elder''s group, but the goateed elder had three Quasi-Sacred Lords, and they were all stronger than the purple-robed elder.


    If there was nothing they could do, they could only resort to using the array in their Dragon Jades, while Zhao Feng would be able to escape with the Misty Spatial World. It would still be worth it for all the treasures.


    "Hmph. I don''t have the habit of spitting out what I''ve eaten." Zhao Feng smiled in disdain.


    Hearing that, the expressions of the purple-robed elder and the goateed elder changed dramatically, and everyone else''s eyes bulged.


    "Arrogant junior! Even if you don''t have the habit of spitting out what you''ve eaten, I''ll teach you how!" The purple-robed elder''s face went green as he started to circulate his dark purple True Yuan.


    "Stop!" Old Ying immediately called out.


    Hu~


    The goateed elder immediately appeared before Old Ying and blocked him.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!" Zhao Feng stepped forward and suddenly became taller as a layer of gold-and-blue light covered his body. The pressure of the peak fifth level Sacred Lightning Body instantly crushed over.


    Boom!


    The purple-robed elder, who was still circulating his True Yuan, was instantly interrupted. The blood within his body boiled and almost spewed out. The young Emperor next to him fell to the ground trembling and wasn''t able to stand up at all.


    Is this his true strength? Lei Tong struggled, and he obviously didn''t feel very well either.


    The members of the goateed elder''s group also felt their hearts shake. The pressure that Zhao Feng''s body displayed made them feel heavy even though they were rather far from him.


    "Hmph, Zhao Feng, if you don''t hand over half of your treasures today, I will force you and everyone else in your group to use your Dragon Jades."


    The purple-robed elder was filled with anger and surprise. Even if Zhao Feng cultivated a profound body-strengthening technique, he was still just a King. The elder couldn''t forgive Zhao Feng for going against his will.


    "Zhao Feng, just hand over half of your stuff!" Jing Kai was filled with panic, and he found it difficult to even breathe when facing the purple-robed elder''s group and the Second Prince''s group together.


    "You''re courting death!" Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body suddenly released a wave of lightning as he punched out with his Fire of Wind Lightning. The physical force that was suppressing everyone suddenly shot toward the purple-robed elder like a storm of fire and lightning.


    We can''t solve the array in the hall, so there''s nothing left to scout in the Black Wind Canyon. It''s time to get rid of this old bastard.


    "What!?" The purple-robed elder didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be the first to attack, and the power within this fist actually made him feel a sense of life-and-death danger.


    Whoosh!


    A blue shield appeared in the purple-robed elder''s hand.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s fist slammed onto the blue shield, and a storm of fire and lightning exploded.


    Crack!


    The blue shield instantly broke apart, and the purple-robed elder retreated several dozen steps as his hands went numb.


    "How is this possible? How can a measly King have such terrifying power?" The purple-robed elder was stunned. His blue shield was destroyed just like that?


    The spectators were completely dazed. Zhao Feng''s physical strength alone was comparable to a Quasi-Sacred Lord?


    "Hand over all your treasures or use your array and fuck off." Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as he slowly approached the purple-robed elder.


    "Hahahaha, although I''m a bit late, I should be able to get a share of the treasures, right?" A loud laughter suddenly sounded from the pathway alongside a surge of extreme coldness.

 951 Reappearance of the Treasure Glow

    Chapter 951 - Reappearance of the Treasure Glow


    "Hahahaha, although I''m a bit late, I should be able to get a share of the treasures, right?" A loud laughter suddenly sounded from the pathway alongside a surge of extreme coldness.


    Everything was changing too quickly. Everyone was still in shock of Zhao Feng''s strength when they suddenly felt several powerful auras appear from above.


    "It''s Jiang Hao!" The purple-robed elder''s expression changed.


    Jiang Hao came from the Jiang Family ¨C one of the Eight Big Families ¨C and he was a peerless prodigy that had awakened his bloodline. Although he was also just a Quasi-Sacred Lord, Jiang Hao''s strength easily surpassed the goateed elder, and he was even stronger than normal Sacred Lords.


    "It''s the members of the Seventh Prince''s team." Lei Tong''s heart dropped.


    The Jiang Family supported the Seventh Prince in the Crown Prince trial. The Seventh Prince was ranked as the third favorite to become Crown Prince. The three Quasi-Sacred Lords that followed behind Jiang Hao were all on par with the goateed elder.


    Although the three groups were about to split up ¨C especially Zhao Feng and the purple-robed elder ¨C they were all in the same boat now.


    "Zhao Feng, stop. Our three groups need to team up for now." Jing Kai immediately messaged Zhao Feng. Although he was stunned by Zhao Feng''s true strength, he still wouldn''t be a match for Jiang Hao. Even if Zhao Feng''s physical defense was strong and he comparable to a Quasi-Sacred Lord, that wouldn''t be enough.


    The Jiang Family had the Ice Demon Bloodline, which was ranked in the top twenty among Imperial Dao Bloodlines. The chance of awakening it was extremely low. Jiang Hao was definitely an unrivalled existence of the Jiang Family against anyone that wasn''t a Sacred Lord yet. Even normal Sacred Lords might not be his match.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s stop for now. This Jiang Hao is a peerless genius from the Jiang Family''s previous generation, and he has the Ice Demon Bloodline." The purple-robed elder''s eyes shifted as he also messaged.


    After experiencing Zhao Feng''s punch, the purple-robed elder knew that he wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match. Jiang Hao''s arrival gave him an excuse to stop the fight. When Zhao Feng wasn''t paying attention, he would then run off. Since one''s senses were limited in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground, it would be basically impossible for Zhao Feng to find him.


    "Jiang Hao?" Zhao Feng inspected the handsome white-haired male.


    Zhao Feng had met some people from the Jiang Family in the Divine Illusion Dimension, and the one that gave him the deepest impression was Jiang Chen.


    At that point in time, Jiang Chen was also pretty strong, but in comparison to this Jiang Hao, it was like the difference between Heaven and Earth.


    "You are Zhao Feng, right?" Jiang Hao''s eyes were cold as he inspected Zhao Feng with interest.


    He had heard some things about what happened in the Divine Illusion Dimension from the disciples of the Jiang Family. However, since that was a feud between youngsters, he obviously wouldn''t need to care.


    He was only interested in Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was just a King, and yet he dared to enter the center of the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground. If it was another King in his place, they would have already been eroded by the black wind and transformed into a Black Wind Yin Ghost.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng actually had the advantage against a Quasi-Sacred Lord. It was incredulous for a King to have the battle-power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    "You want a share of the treasures?" Zhao Feng ignored Jiang Hao''s question and asked one of his own.


    Jiang Hao was surprised as he looked at Zhao Feng with a smile. "That''s right. Do you think I have the right?"


    Hearing the exchange between Zhao Feng and Jiang Hao, the purple-robed elder and company all felt their hearts jump. There were three groups on their side, and if they teamed up, Jiang Hao''s group wouldn''t dare to do anything to them. What was Zhao Feng thinking?


    Old Ying was also starting to panic. He didn''t know that things would end up like this.


    "It isn''t a question of whether you have the right or not." Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same as he faced Jiang Hao''s forcefulness.


    "Oh? Then tell me, what do I have to do to obtain some treasures?" Jiang Hao laughed coldly. He wanted to hear what Zhao Feng wanted to say.


    The three Quasi-Sacred Lord behind Jiang Hao also started to laugh. If the three groups teamed up, they wouldn''t be able to take anything by force. However, it was obvious that there was a great internal feud. On top of that, Zhao Feng was so arrogant that he didn''t even put Jiang Hao in his eyes.


    In this situation, the more they decreased the power of the three groups, the more benefits they would be able to obtain.


    Everyone''s eyes trained onto Zhao Feng as Jiang Hao asked his question. They didn''t know what Zhao Feng''s words meant.


    What is this Zhao Feng thinking? Why is he spewing so much crap to Jiang Hao? The purple-robed elder cursed in his heart.


    The Fire of Wind Lightning and the symbols of God Tribulation Lightning within Zhao Feng''s body were suddenly unleashed. A surge of scarlet-golden lightning sped toward the pillar in the center of the hall.


    The instant Zhao Feng circulated his True Yuan, Jiang Hao tensed up and circulated his bloodline power, but he was completely dumbfounded. He originally thought that the arrogant Zhao Feng would attack him, but instead, Zhao Feng punched toward an empty hall.


    However, the hearts of the purple-robed elder, Old Ying, and the goateed elder jumped. They knew how terrifying Zhao Feng''s action was. Zhao Feng''s punch was headed toward the array on the pillar, and the goateed elder had already shown everyone how terrifying this array was. This gold-and-white array could repel all attacks with an even-stronger force at a speed that no one could react to.


    Everyone shook and instinctively took a few steps back.


    Not good, Zhao Feng wants to kill me! The purple-robed elder felt a life-and-death danger. He never would have thought that Zhao Feng still wanted to kill him even though they had reached this stage. There was no time to use the array in his Dragon Jade at all.


    Retreat! The purple-robed elder instantly took a step back.


    Boom!


    The next instant, his head exploded. The stunned expression on his face was destroyed as well. A fist mark was left behind on the wall behind the purple-robed elder.


    Hu~


    Everyone was dead-silent. All that could be heard was the weird whistle of the black wind.


    "Dead!?" Lei Tong''s heart trembled.


    "How is this possible? He took a step back!" The goateed elder was in disbelief.


    When Zhao Feng attacked, the purple-robed elder reacted in time and took a step back. Only then did Zhao Feng''s attack land on the array and get reflected. Then why did the attack still hit the purple-robed elder?


    Jiang Hao''s eyes went wide as well, and he took a deep breath. The three behind him were all stunned, and their minds went blank. They didn''t understand how a casual fist from Zhao Feng toward an empty hall resulted in the purple-robed elder''s head exploding.


    A Quasi-Sacred Lord died just like that.


    "He used the array!" An elder with white hair in Jiang Hao''s group looked toward the center of the hall with sparkling eyes, then black wind covered the hall once more.


    "Sorry, but I calculated that you would take a step back," Zhao Feng said in a low tone toward the body of the purple-robed elder, as if that would allow him to rest in peace.


    "How is this possible?"


    Hearing what Zhao Feng said, the people who were familiar with array theory were stunned. Firstly, just calculating the projection of the rebound was extremely difficult. It definitely couldn''t be done with one glance. However, Zhao Feng also said that he calculated the purple-robed elder''s one step back as well? No one believed him, and yet reality was right in front of them.


    Only now did everyone feel how terrifying this youth was. He killed someone effortlessly by taking advantage of the array, and the victim didn''t even have any time to react to his death. Even if the purple-robed elder had been able to start up the array in his Dragon Jade, he wouldn''t have been able to escape in time.


    "This is¡­ Zhao Feng?" Jing Kai looked at Zhao Feng with a stunned look, as if this was the first time he was meeting Zhao Feng.


    Just one person alone managed to scare everyone present, including the famous Jiang Hao. He took control of the entire situation.


    The goateed elder was extremely regretful. He shouldn''t have taken a side so quickly.


    Zhao Feng took the purple-robed elder''s interspatial ring before looking at Jiang Hao.


    "One has to put in effort to receive compensation," Zhao Feng finally replied to Jiang Hao''s question.


    Jiang Hao''s eyes were grim. The array grandmaster in his group had just told him the theory of how Zhao Feng killed the purple-robed elder.


    Jiang Hao had to admit that Zhao Feng''s punch just now had stunned everyone, including himself. This youth wasn''t simple.


    "You''re right. Receiving compensation without effort is indeed not acceptable," Jiang Hao suddenly said, and everyone else let out a breath.


    The strength of Jiang Hao''s group couldn''t be ignored, but Zhao Feng''s display had scared them. Now that Jiang Hao had given in, everyone realized that they should thank Zhao Feng.


    "There is a profound array in the hall, and my group has an array grandmaster," Jiang Hao said.


    "It''s Grandmaster Wu Yu from the Yuan Province, right?" Old Ying looked at the white-haired elder.


    "It is indeed this old man." Wu Yu slowly walked forward from behind Jiang Hao and looked deeply at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He originally thought that this journey had come to an end, but an array grandmaster suddenly jumped out.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye inspected the green bronze pillar in the hall, then looked downward. For some reason, he felt that something was off.


    "If Grandmaster Wu Yu can contribute, this will be yours." Zhao Feng waved the interspatial ring that he just took off the purple-robed elder.


    "Many thanks, Grandmaster Wu Yu." Jiang Hao''s eyes twinkled.


    "I''ll go over and have a look."


    The black wind around them was too concentrated, and almost nothing could be seen in the center of the hall. Wu Yu slowly walked into the hall, but he soon came back out and looked at Jiang Hao before shaking his head; "This is the most mysterious and complex array I have ever seen in my life. I can do nothing about it."


    Jiang Hao''s group revealed a disappointed expression. Grandmaster Wu Yu was the most famous array expert in the Yuan Province. If he said there was no way, then there was really no way at all.


    "Let''s go, Zhao Feng. Our journey has come to an end." Old Ying slowly walked over.


    They were unable to solve the array, so they were destined to not be together with the treasure. There were no other paths after this hall.


    "I''ll be going as well." The goateed elder led his group and was about to leave as well. They had obtained enough treasures just now. All they needed to do was find a safe spot and wait for the Crown Prince trial to come to an end.


    Lei Tong and the young Emperor looked at each another. The purple-robed elder died, and they glanced at Jiang Hao''s group with wariness. The two followed behind Old Ying and company and hoped that Jiang Hao wouldn''t trouble them.


    Just as they were about to leave:


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The ground beneath them started to shake.


    Hu~ Boom!


    A nine-colored light shot out from beneath the green bronze pillar and into the sky. The entire hall was covered by a nine-colored light, and a ripple of light washed over everyone. The dark dimension turned into a magnificent and dazzling hall.


    Everyone''s gaze was attracted to the nine-colored light coming from the green bronze pillar, and they were unable to turn away.

 952 Weird

    Chapter 952 - Weird


    Everyone''s gaze was attracted to the nine-colored light coming from the green bronze pillar, and they were unable to turn away.


    Only Zhao Feng''s left eye blinked with a ripple of golden light. At the same time, the symbols of God Tribulation Lightning within his soul all flashed.


    "As I thought!" Zhao Feng murmured lightly.


    This time, he was much closer to the nine-colored light, so he could see it more clearly with his left eye.


    This nine-colored light was constructed from Soul power, meaning that this stunning treasure glow was actually fake.


    Zhao Feng put one hand on Old Ying, and a surge of Soul Intent and God Tribulation Lightning covered Old Ying''s soul.


    "Old Ying, don''t move. I have no ill intent," Zhao Feng messaged at the same time.


    Hu~


    The air of Yin and nine-colored light within Old Ying''s soul was slowly forced out by Zhao Feng. Old Ying''s eyes instantly became clear, and then he revealed a fearful expression.


    "Zhao Feng, thank you." Old Ying took a deep breath as he messaged Zhao Feng.


    "I never would have thought that we were tricked into coming the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground." Old Ying analyzed everything as soon as he woke up, and he sighed in his heart.


    Ever since they entered the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground, the black wind had been eroding them, and the desires in the bottom of their hearts were slowly magnified. Even Old Ying didn''t realize that his personality had changed. A nine-colored light then shot into the air, and the effect the black wind became even stronger.


    The purple-robed elder suddenly taking action against Zhao Feng, as well as the interference by the goateed elder, was also due to the change in personality.


    Next to them, Jing Kai had been completely twisted by the black wind and the nine-colored light. He had become weak, selfish, and emotionless. All he wanted was treasure. He could only blame that his mind was too weak and that he had too many hidden desires.


    Even Old Ying didn''t have the confidence to awaken Jing Kai now.


    Old Ying closed his eyes and started to circulate his Soul Intent to protect his soul while trying to probe the nine-colored light ahead of him.


    "It''s actually a profound Soul power!" Old Ying was completely shocked as he turned around and looked at the others.


    Apart from Zhao Feng and himself, everyone''s gaze was focused on the green bronze pillar as it gave off the nine-colored light and completely ignored everything else. The desire for treasure was completely revealed on their faces.


    Old Ying was scared of this place.


    "Let''s wait a little bit. If there''s an emergency, use the array in your Dragon Jade," Zhao Feng said.


    This kid¡­ Old Ying couldn''t see through Zhao Feng. He was just a King, and yet he was able to maintain his consciousness in this place and even wake up Old Ying at the critical moment. At this moment, he was actually able to look at the nine-colored light with no problem. Old Ying was suspicious that perhaps Zhao Feng was a reincarnated expert.


    Boom! Weng~ Weng~


    The nine-colored light coming from the green bronze pillar started to slowly fade away until it completely disappeared and returned to normal. The entire hall became dark once more.


    Everyone that was just about to leave all stopped and looked at the green bronze pillar.


    "Let''s have a try at obtaining such a treasure." Everyone''s eyes twinkled as they looked at Wu Yu with hope.


    Old Ying watched this scene with fear. Everyone in the hall was acting like someone was controlling their actions.


    Why would the nine-colored light appear so suddenly, right at the moment they were about to leave? Black Wind Yin Ghosts suddenly appeared from the fork earlier when they were hesitating on which to choose, leading the way to this hall. All the Black Wind Yin Ghosts then screeched and retreated.


    All of this seemed planned by a certain mysterious power.


    "Zhao Feng, what''s hiding under there?" Old Ying asked.


    "It might be a treasure, or it might be something else." Zhao Feng''s left eye wasn''t able to seeall the way through. He also wanted to know the secret of this place, which is why he followed everyone even though they were all losing their minds.


    "Zhao Feng, should we stop Wu Yu?" Old Ying looked at Wu Yu, who was slowly approaching the complex and mysterious golden-white array lines.


    "Why? Even if we manage to stop them this time, more people will come here ¨C to this hall. More people will come in the next Crown Prince trial. Are we supposed to guard this place forever?"


    Zhao Feng''s reply made Old Ying speechless. In reality, Old Ying also wanted to know the secret of this place.


    "Let everything be as it''s supposed to be then." Old Ying sighed in his heart and got ready to use his Dragon Jade.


    Wu Yu closed his eyes before the green bronze pillar and spread his Soul Intent throughout the structure of the array. Wu Yu''s Soul Intent slowly merged into the array and into the golden-white array lines. Blood dripped from Wu Yu''s mouth; he was obviously using too much energy. However, no one cared. All they hoped for was for Wu Yu to break the array, even if it was just a little.


    As time passed, everyone started to become impatient. Wu Yu''s Soul Intent was completely immersed in this array. He didn''t even realize that he had coughed out blood several times.


    A gust of black wind suddenly appeared from one of the pathways.


    Wu~~


    Countless Black Wind Yin Ghosts charged into the hall.


    "Not good, it''s the Black Wind Yin Ghosts that retreated a while ago!" the goateed elder exclaimed.


    "Then we kill them all. We can''t let them disturb Grandmaster Wu Yu." Jiang Hao''s face went cold and was about to attack.


    "Jiang Hao, wait!" Someone from Jiang Hao''s group stopped him.


    "Look, they''re helping us break the array!" the elder yelled with joy.


    Countless King and Emperor-level Black Wind Yin Ghosts charged toward a certain point on the array.


    Boom!


    A Black Wind Yin Ghost was instantly repelled and killed.


    Wu~~


    The second Black Wind Yin Ghost charged forward and started to bite into it.


    Boom!


    This Black Wind Yin Ghost was killed by the repelling force as well.


    The third¡­ the fourth¡­


    Old Ying watched this scene with shock. His hairs stood on end, and he instinctively took a few steps back.


    "Great! They''re helping us break the array!" Jing Kai''s eyes twinkled as he exclaimed.


    "Looks like these Black Wind Yin Ghosts want us to get the treasure." The goateed elder stroked his beard and laughed.


    Wu Yu had a pale face and spat out a mouthful of blood before crumbling to the ground. His consciousness had completely merged into the array, and it was the same point where the Black Wind Yin Ghosts were attacking.


    Hu~~


    A slight crack appeared on the golden-white array.


    Boom!


    The entire hall shook once more.


    Whoosh! Boom!


    A thick mist as black as ink wrapped around the green bronze pillar and charged into the sky, and a terrifying aura started to spread.


    At this instant, the hall seemed to become hell. A wicked and cold aura made everyone unable to breathe.


    Whoosh!


    This ball of black mist turned into the head of a snarling monster and devoured Wu Yu''s body.


    "What''s going on?"


    "Why did the nine-colored light suddenly turn into this terrifying mist?"


    "Senior Wu Yu was eaten by that mist!"


    No matter how dumb they were, the fear in their hearts was suddenly awakened by this powerful and terrifying aura.


    "Old Ying, run!" Zhao Feng immediately messaged.


    Hu~


    After Wu Yu''s body disappeared, the snarling head became bigger and charged toward the group of people. A strong suction force came from the black mist monster''s mouth.


    "Argh! Help me!" The young Emperor from Lei Tong''s group was heavily affected by this place and was immediately sucked into the black mist.


    Zhao Feng and Old Ying instantly used secret techniques to increase their speed and were the first to disappear into the pathway. Before Old Ying left, he also dragged Jing Kai along as well. Only then did everyone else react and start running away.


    "Arghh! What is that!?" A Quasi-Sacred Lord from the goateed elder''s group was sucked into the black mist.


    "Dragon¡­ Dragon Jade!" He trembled and used the array within the Dragon Jade, and a layer of light started spreading.


    Whoosh!


    However, in the next instant, he was devoured by the snarling beast head before he was able to teleport away.


    Boom!


    The beast head made of black mist turned into several balls of black mist, transformed into smaller heads, and chased after everyone that tried to run away.


    Zhao Feng used his Lightning Wings Spatial Flash to run away and inspected the situation behind with his left eye.


    "The people that have been eaten by the beast head have entered the array through the small crack!"


    Zhao Feng was shocked. What kind of technique was this? What could shrink a human into the size of a crack?


    "Not good!" Zhao Feng realized one of the black mist heads was heading in his direction.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng no longer inspected what was happening behind him. He focused on using his Lightning Wings Spatial Flash to run away.


    Whoosh!


    The instant Zhao Feng escaped the cave, he felt that the danger disappeared. The Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground was still shaking though.


    "Looks like the balls of black mist can''t appear outside yet." Zhao Feng guessed.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s leave this place quickly. We might be able to save Jing Kai."


    Old Ying looked at the fainted Jing Kai with worry. After all, he was still a member of the Ninth Prince''s team. The Ninth Prince only had seven people, so they couldn''t afford to lose anyone.


    At this moment, the black wind in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground was gathering and becoming more chaotic, as if it was about to return to its former strength.


    "Okay."


    The ripple of golden light coming from Zhao Feng''s left eye started to dim. Anyone that could''ve escaped would have already.


    The ground became calm once more. However, before they managed to make it very far, a wall exploded, and a storm caused by the destruction of a Little World swept in every direction, and a black gust of wind blew out from underground.


    Wu~


    This black gust of wind turned into a huge Black Wind Yin Ghost and leapt toward Zhao Feng.


    "Not good, the Little World has crumbled. This Black Wind Yin Ghost is formed from the Sacred Lord Intent, which has become wicked."


    Old Ying''s sole eye looked at the Intent that hadn''t completely transformed into a Black Wind Yin Ghost yet, and it radiated a strong surge of Yin and deadly Soul power.

 953 Escape

    Chapter 953 - Escape


    "Not good, the Little World has crumbled. This Black Wind Yin Ghost is formed from the Sacred Lord Intent, which has become wicked."


    Old Ying looked ahead with panic and fear.


    Some Sacred Lord had most likely set up their inheritance in the Black Wind Canyon, but as time passed, the erosion of the black wind corrupted the Little World. The Sacred Lord Intent imprinted within the Little World had become wicked, and it was no longer just an Intent anymore. It now had the ability to leave the Little World.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A Soul Intent that was still in the process of transforming into a Black Wind Yin Ghost came rushing over with a surge of Yin and deadly Soul power.


    "Even a measly King dares to come here? Hand over your body to me. Kekeke¡­."


    The sound given off by this twisted Black Wind Yin Ghost was like the sound of bones rubbing against each another. It sent chills down one''s spine and made one''s hairs stand up on end.


    This demonized Sacred Lord Intent had chosen to take over Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    A golden glow appeared in Zhao Feng''s left eye, and the symbols of God Tribulation Lightning flashed as a surge of flames shot out of his left eye.


    Boom~~~~!


    A ball of transparent golden-purple lightning flames with an aura of Destruction exploded onto the demonized Sacred Lord intent.


    Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning Eye Flame was a pure soul attack based on the God Tribulation Lightning, which was especially effective against souls. Furthermore, soul attacks countered wicked and evil beings to begin with.


    Bam! Boom! Boom!


    The demonized Sacred Lord Intent felt as if ten thousand lightning bolts had exploded in its body, and the God Tribulation Lightning eye flames were still burning.


    "Arghh! How can this be the soul-strength of a junior?" The demonized Sacred Lord Intent screamed, and it revealed a tinge of wariness in its snarling expression as it looked at Zhao Feng.


    Because the demonized Sacred Lord Intent had underestimated its opponent, both his insides and outsides had been scorched, and there was a burning pain throughout its body.


    "So strong! Is this his true strength?" While Old Ying was retreating, he was also watching Zhao Feng''s soul attack.


    The aura of this demonized Sacred Lord Intent''s soul wasn''t weaker than an early-stage Sacred Lord, and yet it was still injured by Zhao Feng. With such mastery over the soul, it was no wonder why Zhao Feng wasn''t scared of the purple-robed elder, Jiang Hao, or the goateed elder ¨C Zhao Feng was much stronger than them.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng urged.


    The black wind in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground was slowly becoming stronger. In such an environment, the enemy had a huge advantage. As long as it wasn''t killed in an instant, it would be able to absorb the Yin in the air to recover completely.


    Zhao Feng was still just a King, and the black wind''s effect on him was increasing dramatically.


    At this moment, they were still in the center of the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground. Everything in front of them was pitch-black.


    Old Ying immediately used a secret technique to escape.


    "Dammit, this junior''s soul attack contains the laws of Destruction." The demonized Sacred Lord Intent recovered, but it felt its consciousness becoming weaker and weaker.


    "Not good. I need to find a body to take over quickly." The demonized Sacred Lord Intent''s expression was twisted, and its consciousness was slowly being devoured. It had to find a body to take over in order to recover its original state or else it would become just another mindless Black Wind Yin Ghost.


    "All of you, go!" The demonized Sacred Lord Intent released a surge of Yin, and the nearby Black Wind Yin Ghosts started to howl.


    Wu~~~~


    The Black Wind Yin Ghosts nearby started to scream, and they turned into gusts of black wind and charged toward Zhao Feng and Old Ying. If one looked at this from afar, they would see a giant black storm that gave off countless cries and howls.


    Old Ying''s hair stood up on end, and cold sweat started to appear. He didn''t even need to look back; the cries and howls behind him were like a hundred thousand evil ghosts from hell. Old Ying was prepared to use the array in his Dragon Jade at any moment.


    Zhao Feng''s speed was a bit faster than Old Ying, and his expression became ugly when he looked back. While these Black Wind Yin Ghosts were weak individually, there were at least several hundred of them right now. On top of that, there was still the demonized Sacred Lord Intent. It would be horrible if they caught up.


    He had left spatial markings in other areas of the Imperial Tombs, but not in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground, meaning that he couldn''t use the Misty Spatial World to leave. He could take Old Ying and leave, but the Ninth Prince and Zhou Su''er were still waiting for them.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!"


    Zhao Feng''s figure grew taller and a ripple of gold-and-blue lightning appeared around him, increasing his resistance against the Black Wind Yin Ghosts. Zhao Feng then casually threw out several punches.


    Giant golden punches filled the air. Each one of them contained a strong illusion. In an instant, the wave of Black Wind Yin Ghosts slowed down.


    Zhao Feng didn''t think about killing the Black Wind Yin Ghosts. All he wanted to do was use his Illusion Maze Domain to make them lose their sense of direction.


    "Kekeke¡­ old man, give your body to me."


    While Zhao Feng was attacking the ghosts, the demonized Sacred Lord Intent suddenly appeared from the side and charged at Old Ying.


    "Not good!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression was grim. He didn''t expect the demonized Sacred Lord Intent to give up on him and go for Old Ying instead. Old Ying''s mastery of the Soul Dao was definitely not a match for the demonized Sacred Lord Intent.


    "What?"


    Old Ying was instantly caught by the demonized Sacred Lord Intent. A surge of strong Soul pressure appeared and froze Old Ying''s body.


    Just as the demonized Sacred Lord Intent was about to enter Old Ying''s body:


    "Gaze¡­ of¡­ the¡­ God¡­ Eye!"


    A stunning purple-and-golden light appeared from Zhao Feng''s left eye. A bottomless whirlpool that extended to a purple-and-golden abyss formed in Zhao Feng''s left eye, and a forbidden power that locked onto the power of souls appeared wherever Zhao Feng looked.


    "What is this?" The demonized Sacred Lord Intent instantly felt a strong suction force. Old Ying, who was extremely close to the demonized Sacred Lord Intent, also felt a terrifying pulling force. It was as if his soul wanted to leave his body.


    "What a terrifying skill!" Old Ying quickly left the range of Zhao Feng''s gaze and ran away with fear. He knew that Zhao Feng was restricting the demonized Sacred Lord Intent in order to let him run away.


    "Dammit, this junior¡­!" The demonized Sacred Lord Intent roared in anger, but it was helpless. Since his "body" was formed entirely from Soul Intent, his entire body was pulled by Zhao Feng.


    If Zhao Feng tried to pull away the soul of a normal person, their soul would still be able to struggle within their body, but a pure soul body had much less resistance against Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye.


    However, even then, the demonized Sacred Lord Intent managed to struggle, and Zhao Feng was unable to move it into the dimension of his left eye. One could only say that the demonized Sacred Lord Intent was too powerful and that its desire to live was too strong.


    "Let go of me!" the demonized Sacred Lord Intent roared, but its body wasn''t under its own control anymore. It could faintly see a misty city, and the scenery in front of its eyes started to become chaotic.


    "This brat''s soul-sucking technique contains the Dao of Illusion as well?" The demonized Sacred Lord Intent was filled with fear.


    "Brat, let go of me, and I''ll agree to not take over your companion''s body."


    The demonized Sacred Lord Intent could already feel its consciousness starting to fade away, and it was about to be replaced by a wicked and mindless Intent. If this continued, it would be the one to lose. It had to give up on Zhao Feng and Old Ying and find another person nearby; only then would there be a slight chance of survival.


    Zhao Feng looked at Old Ying, who had flown very far away already, and stopped the Gaze of the God Eye. The stronger the target''s soul, the more energy would be required. At this point in time, the demonized Sacred Lord Intent was struggling with insanity, so it would be too hard to kill it.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed toward the border of the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground.


    Outside the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground:


    "Ninth Prince, let''s go!" Old Ying immediately came to where the Ninth Prince was hiding.


    "Old Ying, where are Zhao Feng and Jing Kai?"


    The Ninth Prince had been inspecting the situation in the Black Wind Canyon and only had one feeling ¨C strange. No one else that entered had come out yet, and the black wind was quickly returning to its original strength. His clenched heart loosened after seeing Old Ying, but it tightened once more after seeing no one else.


    "Let''s go! Zhao Feng should be able to quickly catch up." Old Ying urged and led the two to escape.


    Old Ying knew that even Zhao Feng couldn''t kill the demonized Sacred Lord Intent. He was stalling the demonized Sacred Lord Intent in order to let Old Ying take Zhou Su''er and the Ninth Prince and run away.


    If the demonized Sacred Lord Intent arrived, then the Ninth Prince and Zhou Su''er would become targets. No matter how talented Zhao Feng was, he couldn''t protect three people at once.


    Zhao Feng flew out of the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground soon after the three left. His left eye caught sight of Old Ying and company, and he immediately followed after them.


    At the same time, several thousand miles away from the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground, the black-robed person''s group was hurrying over.


    "Senior Black Robes, the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground is ahead of us." One member was extremely scared as they guessed the black-robed person''s destination and quickly warned. Was the black-robed person taking them to a forbidden ground to find inheritances?


    Even if there were countless inheritances and fortunes in a forbidden ground, they needed to be alive obtain anything. The black-robed person''s actions and thoughts were completely different from everyone else.


    The other two members also revealed fearful gazes.


    "Zhao Feng!" An excited and cold voice suddenly sounded from the black-robed person.


    Hu~~


    The black-robed person turned into a floating black figure and sped toward the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground.

 954 Center

    Chapter 954 - Center


    The instant Zhao Feng left the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground, the demonized Sacred Lord Intent charged out.


    "Dammit, there''s no one else in the Black Wind Canyon." The demonized Sacred Lord Intent was starting to panic. It could feel its consciousness becoming chaotic, and over 90% of its transparent soul had now turned black ¨C the same color as the Black Wind Yin Ghosts.


    "There''s someone coming!" The demonized Sacred Lord Intent seemed to latch onto the last straw of hope, and it was trembling with excitement as it charged toward a black figure in the distance.


    "Kekeke¡­ give your body to me!" The demonized Sacred Lord Intent leapt at the flying black-robed person.


    "Hmm?" The black-robed person''s expression suddenly changed. What the heck is this?


    "Hmph!" The black-robed person snickered coldly after feeling the enmity, and he charged at the ball of Soul Intent without fear.


    Hu~~


    The demonized Sacred Lord Intent instantly rushed into the black-robed person''s body.


    Boom!


    Within an instant, the demonized Sacred Lord Intent screamed and rushed back out of the black-robed person''s body, and it had lost a lot of its strength.


    "You¡­ that isn''t the body of a human!" the demonized Sacred Lord Intent exclaimed in a trembling tone.


    The moment it entered the black-robed person''s body, a powerful surging aura threw it out. The power even exceeded its master from its previous life. It was unable to even see through the laws and Intents contained within this power.


    "How is this possible? How¡­ can there¡­ be such¡­ power?" The demonized Sacred Lord Intent''s consciousness was completely blurry, and it was unable to speak properly.


    Hu~~


    Its entire body turned into a large Black Wind Yin Ghost, and the wicked aura was completely unleashed.


    Wu~~~


    The giant Black Wind Yin Ghost charged at the black-robed person.


    "Gaze of Death!" A cold voice and a supreme Intent of Death came from the black-robed person.


    An undefiable Intent of Death spread from the black-robed person''s eyes. The sky turned dark, and the grass withered and lost all life wherever his gaze landed.


    The giant Black Wind Yin Ghost in front of him was instantly restrained by this forbidden power.


    Wu~~~!


    The Black Wind Yin Ghost roared in fear and panic. The wicked power on the surface of its body was slowly starting to fade away.


    All life was destroyed by the Intent of Death. This was an ultimate power that even Heaven and Earth couldn''t stop.


    At this moment, the other members in the black-robed person''s group arrived. The shadow of death instantly covered them, and an undefiable power seemed to steal everything within their body.


    "Intent¡­ of Death!?"


    "Retreat!"


    "Is this Senior Black Robe''s strength?"


    The three members quickly retreated and took in deep breaths. The shockwave from the black-robed person was so terrifying that they couldn''t even approach. They could even feel a bit of the life within their bodies fading away, including the lifespan of their souls.


    Hu~~


    As the power of the Black Wind Yin Ghost weakened, a faint soul was dragged out.


    "You''re¡­ a descendant of the God Eyes!"


    This soul was the Sacred Lord Intent from before. It didn''t expect that it would be able to recover its consciousness even after becoming a Black Wind Yin Ghost, but it wasn''t able to escape death.


    Whoosh!


    The transparent Sacred Lord Intent started to wither and become weaker under the Intent of Death, and it was absorbed into the black robes.


    The black-robed person looked at this world of darkness before turning around and leaving.


    "Senior Black Robes, where are we headed now?" A member went forward and asked with a smile. He finally understood why the black-robed person was the group leader. With the black-robed person''s strength, even normal Sacred Lords would be killed.


    "The center," the black-robed person replied.


    Because everyone had left the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground, no one heard a wicked laughter from its depths; "Hahahaha, it looks like my two breaths of Origin Qi didn''t go to waste. These low-level meatbags should be enough¡­."


    "Zhao Feng''s here!" The Ninth Prince and company saw a bolt of scarlet lightning behind them and stopped.


    "It''s good that he''s okay." Old Ying had a slightly awkward expression. He was the group leader, but Zhao Feng was the one that stalled the demonized Sacred Lord Intent while he had run away first. Luckily, Zhao Feng had returned safely.


    "Let''s find a safe place first to discuss how to save Jing Kai." Old Ying had a grim expression. Although Jing Kai wasn''t very strong, he was one of the main fighting members in the group. They couldn''t lose him just like that.


    Their group soon arrived below a cliff.


    Hu~


    Old Ying let Jing Kai out of his Little World. At this time, Jing Kai''s body was black, and there was an aura of Yin radiating from him.


    "The air of Yin is eroding him, and a strong surge of Soul power is affecting his mind," Zhou Su''er analyzed after giving Jing Kai a couple glances.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. Zhou Su''er''s healing capabilities were indeed not simple for her to be able to see all that with just a couple glances. Zhao Feng could do it too, but he would at least need to use his left eye.


    "That''s about it. Can you heal him?" Old Ying nodded. He knew a bit about Zhou Su''er''s healing abilities.


    "The air of Yin can be forced out, but there that mysterious Soul power in his soul is hard to get rid of." Zhou Su''er thought for a moment before answering.


    At this moment, Jing Kai recovered his consciousness and opened his eyes blurrily.


    "Eh? Old Ying? We came out?" Jing Kai sat up and looked around.


    "Sigh. Unfortunately, there was a wicked spirit guarding the treasure underground." Jing Kai still didn''t forget about the treasure in the Black Wind Canyon.


    Everyone looked at Jing Kai speechlessly. He almost died in the Black Wind Canyon and was still thinking about the treasure? On top of that, Zhao Feng and Old Ying risked their lives to take him out, but he didn''t even show any signs of gratitude.


    "His personality has already changed a lot. Even if we can get rid of that mysterious Soul power, I can''t guarantee that he will turn back to the original Jing Kai." Zhou Su''er added as she looked at Jing Kai.


    "Zhou Su''er, what did you just say about me?" Jing Kai''s expression changed, and his eyes became deadly.


    The atmosphere instantly died down.


    "Zhou Su''er, just force the air of Yin out of his body first." Old Ying looked at the completely new Jing Kai and broke the silence.


    "En, we''ll get rid of the Yin and the Soul power first before we think about anything else." Zhou Su''er agreed with what Old Ying said. They would first remove the air of Yin and the Soul power in Jing Kai''s body. As long as he became healthier, there was still hope for other stuff.


    "Jing Kai, it''s okay. Let Zhou Su''er get rid of the air of Yin within your body," Old Ying persuaded.


    "Fine. I do feel that my body is uncomfortable."


    Old Ying still had a certain status in Jing Kai''s heart, but he was still wary and suspicious of Zhou Su''er.


    "Old Ying, what happened in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground? A total of four groups entered, but only you guys came out." The Ninth Prince couldn''t suppress his curiosity.


    "I''m not sure either. Any forbidden ground in the Imperial Tombs is a dangerous place that hasn''t been fully probed by the imperials yet. After all, this is a forgotten ancient dimension," Old Ying replied solemnly before sighing. "The others may have used the array in their Dragon Jades to escape."


    The Ninth Prince''s heart shook as he realized how dangerous the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground was. Apart from Old Ying and Zhao Feng, the others had all either used the array in their Dragon Jade or were killed.


    "But we also obtained a lot this time. We passed through two inheritances that didn''t have any tests, and we were able to directly obtain the wealth of a Sacred Lord and plenty of draconic providence." Old Ying changed the topic.


    Old Ying and Zhao Feng then transferred all the draconic providence within their Dragon Jades to the Ninth Prince''s pseudo Crown Prince Seal. However, although they had both entered the Black Wind Canyon at the same time, the draconic providence within Old Ying''s Dragon Jade wasn''t even half of Zhao Feng''s.


    "Zhao Feng, do you not use the power of draconic providence to protect yourself?" Old Ying was stunned.


    Everyone that entered this dimension would use the draconic providence to decrease the pressure. As time passed, everyone would slowly adapt to it and would use up less draconic providence than before.


    Draconic providence could be used for anything defensive, such as protecting themselves from all sorts of attacks, such as the Black Wind Yin Ghosts.


    Old Ying was using a wisp of draconic providence every second to protect himself against the laws and Intents in this dimension. However, the air of Yin had still slowly eroded him. On the other hand, Zhao Feng didn''t use any draconic providence at all and was still able to stay awake.


    "Let''s head toward the center of the Imperial Tombs."


    With Zhao Feng joining them, Old Ying felt safer. Jing Kai also couldn''t leave Zhou Su''er''s side.


    "Zhao Feng, I hope that you will place less importance on the wealth in these inheritances and help the Ninth Prince as much as you can." Old Ying had a begging look.


    "En," Zhao Feng replied simply. After obtaining the wealth from the two inheritances in the Black Wind Canyon and all that wealth from the underground area, he already had enough. At this point, Zhao Feng wouldn''t even bother with beginning-stage and early-stage Sacred Lord inheritances unless he knew they had a specific item he needed.


    "Brother Zhao is already helping me as much as he can," the Ninth Prince smiled and said. The draconic providence that Zhao Feng had given him both times was more than anyone else.


    "Okay, we''re very far away from the center. In this period of time, we need to help Zhao Feng tame the beasts here." Old Ying announced the plan.


    They would head toward their destination while taming beasts on the way. Conquering inheritances required time, and they would only be able to acquire draconic providence when it was conquered. On the other hand, taming beasts would net them some draconic providence while also building up their strength.


    In five days'' time, Zhao Feng tamed another two beast groups. At the same time, the air of Yin within Jing Kai''s body was forced out.


    The mysterious Soul power hidden within Jing Kai''s soul was too profound, and Zhou Su''er couldn''t do anything about it for now. Besides, Jing Kai''s personality hadn''t changed too much yet.


    "If this continues, Jing Kai will become a big trouble for our group." Old Ying was worried.


    "He doesn''t believe us anymore and thinks that we''re after his wealth."


    Everyone avoided Jing Kai and discussed.


    "Why don''t you let me take care of him?" Zhao Feng''s voice suddenly sounded.

 955 Tie Lingyun

    Chapter 955 - Tie Lingyun


    Everyone looked at Zhao Feng in surprise.


    "You can get rid of the mysterious Soul power within his soul?"


    Suspicion flashed through Zhou Su''er''s eyes. She still couldn''t understand Zhao Feng''s mysterious method that he used in the Saint Herb Pavilion to get rid of the poison. On top of that, Zhao Feng''s mastery of the soul was not simple.


    Old Ying revealed a thoughtful expression. Zhao Feng managed to remove the nine-colored treasure glow from Old Ying''s soul in the Black Wind Canyon, but the situation with Jing Kai was different. Zhou Su''er had spent five days just to force out the air of Yin within his soul; from this, one could see how strong the poison in Jing Kai''s soul was.


    Zhao Feng''s method required the target''s cooperation; they couldn''t resist, or it wouldn''t work. Now that Jing Kai was suspicious of everyone, how could he possibly let Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent enter the depths of his soul?


    "I can change his personality while I''m at it," Zhao Feng added. This was what Zhao Feng truly meant in the first place.


    Everyone took in a deep breath when they heard that, and they looked at Zhao Feng in confusion.


    "You have the ability to change personality?" Zhou Su''er asked.


    Now that Jing Kai''s personality had already changed, all Zhou Su''er could think of was to make him enter some Buddhist force and follow some monks in order to slowly change back to who he once was.


    The Ninth Prince and Old Ying were both extremely puzzled and surprised. Zhao Feng wasn''t exactly a kind person. They didn''t believe that Zhao Feng could just persuade Jing Kai to change.


    "Since none of you can do anything, I can at least make sure that he will try his best when working with us."


    Zhao Feng rolled his eyes. Zhao Feng didn''t think much of Jing Kai''s strength, but like Old Ying said, the Ninth Prince''s team couldn''t lose anyone.


    "Give him to Zhao Feng." Old Ying agreed. They had nothing else they could do anyways. Although he was puzzled, he felt confident in Zhao Feng. He could faintly guess what Zhao Feng was going to do based on what he said, but it didn''t matter anymore.


    Jing Kai, who was still resting, found that the expressions of everyone else weren''t right and became suspicious. Zhao Feng then suddenly walked over toward him.


    "What do you want?" Jing Kai started to panic. The strength that Zhao Feng had displayed in the Black Wind Canyon was fresh in Jing Kai''s memories, and he was scared.


    Hu~~


    With a wave of his left hand, Zhao Feng put Jing Kai into the Misty Spatial World.


    Zhao Feng was god in the Misty Spatial World, and the laws within the Misty Spatial World bound Jing Kai.


    Zhao Feng walked over to Jing Kai and released a surge of powerful Soul Intent.


    Wu~


    Jing Kai''s body and soul became heavily suppressed, and he was unable to circulate his True Yuan or Soul Intent.


    "Dark Heart Seal!"


    A purple-and-golden seal with a faint aura of God Tribulation Lightning formed in Zhao Feng''s left eye and slowly imprinted itself into the depths of Jing Kai''s soul.


    Although Jing Kai had the battle-power of an unrivalled Emperor, his soul wasn''t quite as strong. Zhao Feng''s soul was comparable to a Sacred Lord, so he was easily able to imprint the Dark Heart Seal into Jing Kai.


    A while later:


    "Master, I understand your efforts. Please heal me."


    Jing Kai half-knelt in front of Zhao Feng.


    Although Jing Kai''s fundamental personality wouldn''t change after the Dark Heart Seal was imprinted into him, he would believe anything Zhao Feng said. If Zhao Feng was a good teacher, he might even be able to transform Jing Kai into a decent person, but Zhao Feng didn''t have that kind of time.


    "I will first remove the mysterious Soul power in your soul. Don''t resist." Zhao Feng put one hand on Jing Kai''s head, and a surge of Soul Intent that could reach the heavens was unleashed from Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Understood, Zhao Feng." Jing Kai relaxed and changed the title from "Master" to "Zhao Feng." After all, Zhao Feng was a fellow team member, so calling him "Master" would make the others scared of Zhao Feng to some degree.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent passed through his arm and slowly seeped into Jing kai''s soul. Because of the Lightning Soul Body, the God Tribulation Lightning was automatically ingrained into Zhao Feng''s soul power.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng used his God''s Spiritual Eye to see where the evil Soul power was hiding in Jing Kai''s soul, and he started to carefully force it out. However, this power was deeply ingrained in Jing Kai''s soul, so Zhao Feng needed a lot of time.


    Of course, all of this was done during the breaks on their journey. After all, the first stage of the Crown Prince trial was about to end, and everyone needed to head toward the center of the Imperial Tombs.


    Zhao Feng didn''t let Jing Kai out during this period of time. Jing Kai simply stayed in the Misty Spatial World and cultivated.


    After the Black Wind Canyon, Jing Kai''s Soul Intent had actually been refined, but Zhao Feng was still not satisfied with his strength. The biggest difference between the Ninth Prince''s team and the other princes was that he didn''t have anyone with the battle-power of a Sacred Lord.


    After healing Jing Kai, Zhao Feng finally had time to consolidate his strength. Zhao Feng had experienced countless big and small battles after entering the Crown Prince trial, and he had no time to comprehend everything yet.


    Those of the older generation were experienced. For example, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s close combat techniques were the essence of the Cao Family.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng would occasionally enter the Ancient Dream Realm. Zhao Feng realized that he was starting to adapt to the Ancient Dream Realm even better now.


    One day, Zhao Feng enslaved another flying beast in an ancient forest. An Emperor-level black male eagle landed on Zhao Feng''s head.


    Hu~~


    After leaving the Ancient Dream Realm and returning to the Imperial Tombs, Zhao Feng stood on a mountain cliff and let the black eagle fly in the sky.


    "That''s the fifth," Zhao Feng murmured softly with a smile.


    Under the cliff, everyone had entered a state of cultivation. They all felt that they were extremely weak in the Crown Prince trial. They needed to take every moment possible to cultivate.


    The Ninth Prince was extremely hardworking, and since he was talented as well, his progress was extremely fast.


    Over the next couple days, apart from resting and heading toward their destination, everyone only had one other thing to do ¨C help Zhao Feng tame beasts.


    "Zhao Feng, we tamed the Winged Wolf pack and the Night Wolf pack last time. You have enough agility and offense-type beasts," Old Ying analyzed.


    Over the last two encounters, Old Ying understood Zhao Feng''s beast taming ability. All he could say was that Zhao Feng was perfect in every aspect, as if he wasn''t a human.


    Zhao Feng could''ve taken any position in the team. Old Ying even felt that Zhao Feng could''ve taken his own spot. When it came to analyzing weaknesses and foreseeing danger, Old Ying had to admit that he wasn''t as good as Zhao Feng.


    "We now need power-type beasts." Old Ying''s eyes sparkled.


    After learning about Zhao Feng''s beast taming abilities, Old Ying''s plan changed.


    Zhao Feng''s beasts would be a critical point in the Crown Prince trial. Old Ying placed great importance on this, and he was willing to spend a lot of time and effort to help expand Zhao Feng''s beast collection.


    "Power-type?"


    Zhao Feng remembered his Ice Crystal Giant Bear, but Old Ying obviously needed a much larger number. Zhao Feng never expected the Crown Prince trial to be so complex. From the looks of it, the position of Beast Tamer wasn''t simple either.


    "It''s here."


    Everyone stopped in front of a dimly-lit forest. A chaotic, wild, and bloodthirsty aura instantly swept toward them.


    Boom!


    There was an occasional crash and some beats howling from within it. Everyone could sense that this place wasn''t simple.


    "We''ve arrived at the center regions of the Imperial Tombs. This is a place where beasts gather, and there are many powerful beast packs here," Old Ying introduced.


    Whoosh!


    A figure flashed and appeared next to Zhao Feng. It was Jing Kai.


    "Jing Kai?"


    Everyone closely inspected Jing Kai. They couldn''t feel any signs of that wicked power from Jing Kai''s body. It was obvious that Zhao Feng had successfully gotten rid of it.


    "En. I''ve been cultivating in Zhao Feng''s Little World."


    Jing Kai didn''t feel much when he saw everyone else, but he still followed Zhao Feng''s orders and interacted with everyone else. Zhao Feng let him out to make everyone feel safer.


    The group of five then headed toward the center of the forest. In the depths of the forest, there was a big and quiet black cave.


    The inside of the cave was another place, as if it was a brand-new world. There was an ancient castle made from sandstone in the center of some barren grounds, and sandstorms filled the sky.


    "Shi Yulei, hand over your wealth and draconic providence and we will let you go." There was a red-haired male covered in gold-and-red flames and holding a long spear in his hands, and he spoke in a forceful tone.


    There were three more people next to the red-haired male. In front of them was a wall formed from sand, which also had arrays on it.


    Boom!


    The red-haired male lashed out with his spear, and a ball of flames shot out like a blood-red flaming dragon. At the same time, a Destructive flaming aura was unleashed.


    Boom!


    The sand on the wall rippled like water. The blood-red flaming dragon merged into the center and exploded. The wall then returned to normal.


    "Tie Lingyun, it''s useless. We won''t be able to break through the inheritance''s defenses as well as the Shi Family''s bloodline in a short amount of time." A red-haired male stood on the side while two others stood behind him with an obedient expression.


    ''''This defensive array is also extremely profound. As expected of Shen Jizi."


    The eyes of an array grandmaster behind the red-haired elder flashed. Every time Tie Lingyun''s attack landed on the wall, a mysterious array would weaken it.


    Within the wall of sand, Shi Yulei held a giant dark yellow shield that had a giant dragon carved onto it. This shield was in the center of the wall, and it couldn''t be moved around.


    "What powerful offense! As expected of the peerless prodigy of the Tie Family''s younger generation. His Blood Devil Sun Bloodline is terrifying."


    Shi Yulei groaned. If it wasn''t for the fact that his Inheritance Sacred weapon could utilize part of the Little World inheritance''s power, how could their group reach a stalemate against the Fourth Prince''s group?


    "Senior Zhen Jizi, why don''t we use the arrays in our Dragon Jades and escape?" Su Qingling''s face was pale-white. It was obvious that she was heavily injured.


    "There''s no need. Someone''s here to save us."


    An old elder sitting in the middle suddenly opened his eyes. They were like stars in the night, and they seemed to contain a profound philosophy.

 956 Fiery Clash

    Chapter 956 - Fiery Clash


    "If you don''t want to hand over your wealth and draconic providence, you can choose to tell me where Zhao Feng is." Tie Lingyun''s eyebrows furrowed; he was becoming impatient.


    This Little World was preserved very well, and Shi Yulei was using his defensive Inheritance Sacred weapon to connect to its power and form a wall of defense. Even the elders of the Tie Family couldn''t do anything within a short amount of time. Staying here only wasted time for both sides.


    However, the Ninth Prince''s group didn''t really care about that since the chance of the Ninth Prince becoming the Crown Prince was almost impossible. The Fourth Prince was different though; he was the favorite to become the Crown Prince this time, and the other princess might even team up against him. Therefore, time was very precious to them.


    "Senior Shen Jizi, I believe that you can divine his location," Tie Lingyun said. Zhao Feng and Xuanyuan Wen were the two people he wanted to defeat most in the Imperial Tombs. Apart from them, there was also Yu Tianhao, who had the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline. After another couple years, he would reach a level where everyone would have to take him seriously.


    "You will know his location if you turn your head around," Shen Jizi''s old voice sounded from the other side of the wall.


    "Turn my head around?" Tie Lingyun didn''t know what that meant, but the bloodline within his body suddenly started to tremble, and Tie Lingyun instantly turned around as if he had sensed something.


    A group of people outside the castle were rushing over.


    "Zhao Feng!" A glass-like red flame suddenly appeared around Tie Lingyun, and his battle-intent surged.


    On the other side of the wall:


    "Old Ying, the Ninth Prince, and Zhao Feng have all arrived." Su Qingling instantly sensed the situation outside.


    "Great!" Shi Yulei let out a breath. If this stalemate continued, he would be the first to lose.


    At the same time, Shi Yulei looked at Shen Jizi. He is indeed worthy of being a divination master. He could even divine this?


    This was the biggest danger that they had met so far, but they still didn''t need to use the array in their Dragon Jades. Shi Yulei had to admire this once-famous elder of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    They had been trapped here by a group from the Fourth Prince''s side, but now that everyone from the Ninth Prince''s team was here, the tide would turn. They had the Fourth Prince''s group surrounded from the front and back.


    Boom!


    Shi Yulei put away his defense.


    "Tie Lingyun, don''t rush," the red-haired elder messaged privately. Although they had one Sacred Lord and three Quasi-Sacred Lords on their side, everyone from the Ninth Prince''s team had arrived. There were eight people in total, and the Ninth Prince could use draconic providence to increase his battle-power.


    This was the unique point in this game. Princes would be the main targets when there were a lot of people around, but in a one group versus one group situation, princes were a super strong battle-power.


    Furthermore, while the overall strength of an entire team might not be strong, they could work together and cover each other''s weaknesses perfectly. Shi Yulei specialized in power and offense. Su Qingling''s soul attacks were hard to defend against. Shen Jizi was a mysterious array master. Now, there would also be the beasts of the beast tamer, and with the help of a doctor, the beasts could release limitless battle-power endlessly.


    This was the power of a team. Even though the red-haired elder was a Sacred Lord, he didn''t want to fight against a team like this.


    "Zhao Feng, do you dare to fight me?" Tie Lingyun ignored what the elder said and turned into a ball of fire that charged out.


    "Everyone, watch out!" Old Ying messaged everyone and went forward.


    Hu~~


    Tie Lingyun looked in disgust at the other five people and laughed, "Zhao Feng, what is it¡­ you have the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, but you chose to become a beast tamer and hide behind others?"


    Hearing this, Shi Yulei and Su Qingling paused for a moment. They had been wondering why Tie Lingyun was so interested in Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had the Blood Devil Sun bloodline of the Tie Family? What was going on?


    They immediately remembered the two people from the Tie Family before the fights for the positions started. Everything made sense now.


    Old Ying had already told this to the Ninth Prince and Zhou Su''er. All they did was give a complicated look toward Zhao Feng.


    "Tie Lingyun, this isn''t a place for single combat. This is the Crown Prince trial," Old Ying''s voice sounded.


    They had the advantage right now, and they didn''t need Zhao Feng to fight against Tie Lingyun in single combat.


    "Fine, then we''ll use the rules of the Crown Prince trial." Tie Lingyun''s eyes became grim. "Tell Zhao Feng to fight against me. If he wins, all the draconic providence within this Dragon Jade will be yours."


    Tie Lingyun shook the Dragon Jade on his belt. It was extremely bright and had the trace of a golden dragon.


    "So much draconic providence!" Old Ying''s eyes twinkled as he sighed in his heart.


    The difference between the groups was enormous. Tie Lingyun''s group most likely went for the inheritances of late-stage Sacred Lords in order to gather so much draconic providence.


    At this moment, the red-haired elder led the other two group members over. Behind them, Shen Jizi''s group maintained a certain distance. Old Ying and Jing Kai immediately stepped forward and went on guard as they protected the Ninth Prince and Zhou Su''er.


    "Old Ying, getting surrounded by you is my mistake, but if we want to leave, you can''t stop us." The red-haired elder had a nonchalant expression.


    Old Ying''s eyes became grim as he looked at Tie Yunhuo.


    That was indeed the case. All the Ninth Prince''s team members were present. In a head-on fight, they weren''t scared of this group from the Fourth Prince''s team even if they were strong. However, if Tie Yunhuo''s group wanted to leave, could they even catch up? Even if someone on their side did manage to catch up, they would have left their team behind and definitely wouldn''t be a match.


    "How about we just do what Tie Lingyun suggests? Tell Zhao Feng to come out and use draconic providence as the bet." Tie Yunhuo glanced at Zhao Feng''s lightless Dragon Jade. He also wanted to see the perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline.


    Everyone from the Ninth Prince''s team looked at Zhao Feng.


    Jing Kai, the Ninth Prince, and Old Ying were confident in Zhao Feng facing Tie Lingyun. Zhao Feng had the perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline, but he also specialized in Soul eye-bloodline techniques, giving him an overwhelming advantage against Tie Lingyun.


    Tie Yunhuo also obviously wanted to see this fight. He clearly didn''t care about the draconic providence since Zhao Feng''s Dragon Jade had zero light in it. Even if Zhao Feng lost, they wouldn''t gain anything.


    "This method is good." Zhao Feng stepped forward.


    The Tie Family was constantly bothering him, and although he had spoken to Tie Hongnan about the issue before the fights for the positions, he knew that this issue hadn''t come to an end yet.


    Those from the Tie Family were arrogant and believed that they were the center of the world. Zhao Feng hadn''t liked them for a long time now.


    Shi Yulei and Su Qingling both paused. The Ninth Prince and company didn''t show any signs of rejecting this. Could it be that Zhao Feng''s strength was enough to fight against the peerless prodigy of the Tie Family? What did they miss?


    "Hahaha! Good!"


    The bloodline within Tie Lingyun''s body started to burn, and a layer of glass-like fire spread across his body. He seemed to become a flaming sovereign of war and radiated a fiery hot battle-intent.


    A wave of heat made the others present feel uncomfortable. The blood and True Yuan within their bodies seemed to burn. Everyone instinctively moved back.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!" Zhao Feng stepped forward, and his body grew taller and released a wave of golden-blue lightning.


    "Hmph. You''re not even going to use your bloodline?" Tie Lingyun''s eyes became cold and sharp. Zhao Feng''s actions were humiliating him.


    Teng!


    Tie Lingyun leapt into the air, and the flames around his body suddenly expanded and turned into a ball of flame that shot fiercely toward Zhao Feng.


    Hu~~


    A pair of Scarlet Wings of Lightning instantly appeared behind Zhao Feng''s body. With a flash, a wave of lightning swept over and reduced Tie Lingyun''s speed.


    Shu~~


    Zhao Feng''s Scarlet Wings of Lightning suddenly fluttered.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng turned into a bolt of scarlet lightning and shot toward the glass-like ball of fire.


    Zhao Feng''s action instantly broke Tie Lingyun''s momentum, and the dominance he displayed gave him the upper hand.


    Boom!


    The scarlet lightning clashed with the red flames, and a loud explosion sounded. It was as if a meteor had crashed into the ground.


    Hu~


    Tie Lingyun was forced back a couple steps and was stunned. Zhao Feng''s physical body made him feel like he was hitting metal, and the ignition ability of his Blood Devil Sun Bloodline was heavily reduced.


    Whoosh!


    While Zhao Feng retreated, he used the Scarlet Wings of Lightning to stabilize himself. The defense of his Sacred Lightning Body was extremely strong, but Tie Lingyun''s explosive Blood Devil Sun Bloodline allowed him to unleash explosive force even though he was at a disadvantage.


    The difference between a King and a Quasi-Sacred Lord was extremely big. In the first exchange, Zhao Feng''s blood boiled, and he felt his body go hot.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng felt that the explosiveness of Tie Lingyun''s bloodline was not much different from his own perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. This meant that, while Tie Lingyun''s bloodline wasn''t considered perfect, it was still stronger than the normal Tie Family bloodline. Tie Lingyun''s control over it was also extremely good.


    "Hmph. Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!"


    Zhao Feng circled around the opponent and unleashed the physical power within his Sacred Lightning Body. His fists glowed with scarlet-golden lightning and punched downward from the sky. Fist phantoms the size of mountains thundered toward Tie Lingyun.


    "Blood Devil Charge!"


    Tie Lingyun''s eyes were cold as the glass-like flames around his body started to burn. It was as if he was bathing in fire and blood; his body started to turn into a bright transparent red color.


    Boom!


    The flames around Tie Lingyun''s body exploded as he shot forward. The speed he displayed was three times as fast as before; he was like a blazing ball of lava.


    Even Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He instantly understood that this was a Blood Devil Sun bloodline secret technique of the Tie Family.


    Ding! Bam! Bam!


    Tie Lingyun''s spear was like a flaming dragon as it clashed against the scarlet fists of lightning.


    After using the Blood Devil Charge, Tie Lingyun''s explosive power became even stronger, and the ignition effect of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline also increased dramatically.


    Zhao Feng felt his body become fiery-hot, and his Blood Devil Sun bloodline was about to be unleashed.


    Boom!


    A sandstone filled with fire and lightning engulfed the two figures. Loud explosions sounded in the air like thunder and resounded across Heaven and Earth.


    "This brat cultivated such a profound body-strengthening technique¡­ he''s actually still able to fight back against Tie Lingyun after he has used the Blood Devil Charge!?" Tie Yunhuo''s eyes flashed.


    "So strong! As expected of Mas- Zhao Feng." Jing Kai felt his blood boil. At this moment in time, Zhao Feng was on par with a genius from the Tie Family.


    "This¡­ is Zhao Feng?" Shi Yulei''s mouth fell open, and his eyes bulged out. A beast tamer didn''t need such strong battle-power, right?


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Feng had hidden himself this deeply." Su Qingling''s cold expression changed for the first time.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    After using the Blood Devil Charge, Tie Lingyun''s explosiveness couldn''t be rivalled or stopped. Under the barrage of attacks, Zhao Feng was forced back ¨C he was the one at a disadvantage.


    His Sacred Lightning Body was turning bright red from the heat, and he had expended a lot of energy. The numbing effect and the power of his Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch wasn''t very effective against the explosive Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Whoosh~


    Zhao Feng''s fists blocked one of Tie Lingyun''s attacks. A burning sensation appeared on his arm, and Zhao Feng used the Scarlet Wings of Lightning to quickly retreat.


    A wicked smile formed on Zhao Feng''s face. "If you want to see it, then I''ll let you see it."


    Hu~~


    A bright red glass-like flame covered Zhao Feng''s body. Zhao Feng seemed to be bathing in fire, and with the addition of his Sacred Lightning Body, he seemed to become a flaming demonic sovereign. A forceful and scorching aura formed a surge of flames and shot out in every direction, increasing the temperature of this world.

 957 Exchange between Bloodlines

    Chapter 957 - Exchange Between Bloodlines


    A forceful and scorching aura spread out in every direction. The dark yellow sand was dyed with a bright red flame, and the temperature caused the air to become twisted like some kind of hellscape.


    When one looked from afar, it looked like there were two scorching suns releasing brilliant flames.


    Hu~~


    The bloodline within Tie Lingyun''s body started to tremble, and the glass-like flames on his body became weaker under the radiance of Zhao Feng''s flames. However, this pressure only made him more excited.


    Behind Tie Lingyun, Tie Yunhuo''s bloodline also shook slightly and started to twitch, as if it was going to start burning as well.


    "Perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline!" Tie Yunhuo''s eyes were fiery-hot as he looked at the bright glass-like flames covering Zhao Feng''s body. It was like the color of fresh blood, as if he was burning his lifeforce to fight.


    This was the first time he had seen the perfect bloodline of the Tie Family. If such a powerful bloodline could return to the Tie Family¡­


    "So, this is the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline."


    The two next to Tie Yunhuo obviously knew about this too, but they were still shocked when they saw the power of the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. The bloodlines within their bodies became hot and started to burn, and they had to circulate part of their True Yuan to block it.


    The perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline was a terrifying combat bloodline that could be ranked within the top ten Imperial Dao Bloodlines.


    Old Ying and company who were behind Zhao Feng quickly retreated. Some of those with weaker bodies and cultivations, such as Zhou Su''er and Su Qingling, felt their entire body become fiery, and they were unable to breathe.


    "How is this possible? Zhao Feng''s bloodline is even stronger than Tie Lingyun''s!" Shi Yulei was stunned, and a loud explosion sounded in his heart.


    Tie Lingyun had the strongest bloodline amongst the juniors of the Tie Family. No one in the family was as talented as him. The explosive power that Tie Lingyun displayed left even Shi Yulei, who specialized in defense, unable to cope with it. However, Zhao Feng''s Blood Devil Sun bloodline was faintly suppressing Tie Lingyun''s.


    There was only one possibility¡­.


    "That''s right ¨C the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline." Old Ying was stunned. This was his first time seeing the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline as well. This bloodline was a terrifying Imperial Dao Bloodline that had almost become extinct.


    "How is this possible?" Su Qingling''s face was filled with surprise, and she suddenly remembered what Zhao Feng said before the fights for the positions started.


    It was all true. Zhao Feng had the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. This was why an elder of the Tie Family personally came to recruit him. The Zhao Feng who they all underestimated was on par with a peerless prodigy of the Tie Family from the Fourth Prince''s team.


    "As expected of Zhao Feng!" The Ninth Prince was extremely excited, and he felt waves coursing through his heart. The strength that Zhao Feng currently displayed surpassed anyone else in his team, and it was comparable to the main combat members of a top-five prince''s team. Furthermore, Zhao Feng was also a beast tamer and could support the entire team. All of this had exceeded what the Ninth Prince originally hoped for.


    Boom~~~~


    Tie Lingyun''s faintly suppressed bloodline suddenly erupted, and the glass-like flames were unleashed as he released a force comparable to Zhao Feng''s.


    "Hahaha! Let me have a taste of this so-called perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline!" Tie Lingyun was filled with burning battle-intent.


    Blood Devil Charge!


    Tie Lingyun used this skill once again and transformed into a ball of molten lava that radiated a pressure that could scare Gods and Ghosts alike.


    "Hmph!" The perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline suppressed bloodlines that had a lower purity, making Zhao Feng feel like the difference in cultivation had shrunk.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng''s Scarlet Wings of Lightning, which were covered by the glass-like red flames, were like the wings of an immortal crow as it gave off crackles of lightning.


    Boom! Shu~~


    With the explosiveness of his bloodline, the Lightning Wings Flying Technique surpassed its limits. He was like a blazing fire as he flashed through the air and left behind blossoming flowers.


    Boom! Boom! Bam!


    They were both like meteorites that clashed against each another, creating a wave of fire that swept across Heaven and Earth like a tsunami.


    Hu~~


    The two figures quickly retreated as a forbidden fiery power exploded in the center.


    The ignition effect has been countered! Zhao Feng sensed this the instant they came into contact.


    Since their bloodlines came from the same origin, Zhao Feng''s ignition effect was extremely unlikely to do anything to Tie Lingyun. It was similar to the moment when he had faced Demonic Emperor Xuan Luo''s Scorching Demon Spirit Body.


    When Zhao Feng''s flames were about to engulf Tie Lingyun''s body, the glass-like flames on Tie Lingyun''s body would extinguish them. The ignition effect from both sides was unable to be used.


    However, while the lifesteal ability of Zhao Feng''s perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline also dropped dramatically, it was still useful, allowing Zhao Feng to recover at least some of his True Yuan.


    Boom! Peng!


    Zhao Feng''s fist of red lightning clashed against Tie Lingyun''s flaming spear. The two extremely forceful powers caused lightning to howl and fire to surge every time the two clashed.


    "They''re on par with each another!"


    The two Quasi-Sacred Lords next to Tie Yunhuo had dazed expressions. Zhao Feng was only a King, but he had battle-power comparable to Tie Lingyun? Even if he had the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, he shouldn''t be this strong, right?


    "Zhao Feng is not simple. His True Yuan is extremely powerful and pure, and it works perfectly with his Blood Devil Sun bloodline." Tie Yunhuo stared at Zhao Feng and didn''t even blink his eyes.


    The quality of Zhao Feng''s True Yuan surpassed normal peak Emperors.


    Boom! Bam!


    The defense and strength of Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body as well as the lifesteal effect of his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline completely closed the gap in cultivation and the difference in True Yuan quantity. Furthermore, under this pressure, Zhao Feng''s Blood Devil Sun bloodline''s potential was released, and he started to become more and more courageous as they fought.


    Hu~~


    Tie Lingyun''s eyes were red as his battle-intent surged into the sky. As someone from the Tie Family, he obviously knew the characteristics of the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline very well. Therefore, Tie Lingyun burned his True Yuan to increase the power of his bloodline so that he could counter the unique abilities of the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Hmph, I''ll let you have a taste of the body-strengthening technique that complements the Blood Devil Sun bloodline. After I defeat you, I will go and persuade Elder Hongnan that, no matter how strong a bloodline someone has, it''s meaningless if they don''t know how to use it properly.


    Tie Lingyun''s power increased, and the glass-like flames on his body released a red jade-like glimmer, as if he had been reborn from flames. A surge of physical power also appeared.


    Boom! Hu~~~


    Zhao Feng stood in the air, and his Sacred Lightning Body instantly felt a wave of heat.


    Shu~~~


    Both of their physical forces started to clash, creating explosions in the air.


    Bam! Hu~


    Zhao Feng took a few steps back and was stunned. The unique body-strengthening technique that Tie Lingyun was using right now perfectly complemented the Blood Devil Sun bloodline. It even managed to suppress his Sacred Lightning Body and his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    As he thought, the strength of the Eight Big Families wasn''t to be underestimated. They understood a lot about their own bloodlines.


    "I didn''t think that Tie Lingyun would use the Scarlet Jade Glass Body this quickly. However, this means that the battle will end very soon." Tie Yunhuo was stunned.


    One had to finish the fight as soon as they could against a user with the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. Zhao Feng''s body-strengthening technique had also exceeded Tie Yunhuo''s expectations as well, otherwise Tie Lingyun wouldn''t have needed to use the Scarlet Jade Glass Body.


    The Scarlet Jade Glass Body was a supreme body-strengthening technique that the ancestor of the Tie Family had created. It worked perfected with the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, and it could release a power that could destroy Heaven and Earth.


    Such a heaven-defying skill obviously had its limitations as well; overusing it for a prolonged period of time would harm the user''s bloodline.


    "Not good, it''s the Scarlet Jade Glass Body; the supreme body-strengthening technique of the Tie Family!" Old Ying''s heart jumped.


    When this technique was used with the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, the strength of one''s True Yuan, bloodline, and body would be several times stronger than usual.


    Zhao Feng had the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, but he couldn''t use it very well and had no technique to go with it.


    What Old Ying was truly puzzled about though was why Zhao Feng didn''t use his Soul eye-bloodline techniques. That was his forte.


    "Sacred Lightning Protection!"


    A barrier of lightning made of Fire of Wind Lightning and the physical force of Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body appeared in front of him. At the same time, a bloodline power also poured into it, turning the color of the barrier red and making it burn.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng appeared in the sky, and his Scarlet Wings of Lightning released a surge of golden flames that propelled him downward.


    Before his punch arrived, a scarlet-red wave had already exploded. The limitless physical pressure suppressed the spectators'' bodies.


    "Come!"


    The glass-like flames around Tie Lingyun surged into the air as he looked up at Zhao Feng with battle-intent. He wasn''t scared of Zhao Feng''s propelling force.


    Hu~


    Tie Lingyun suddenly leapt into the air, and he seemed to become a scarlet-red jade dragon. Wherever he went, the air would burn.


    Boom!


    A brilliant red flame shot out and formed a firestorm that engulfed the two figures.


    Hu~


    A scarlet arc of lightning flew out.


    "What explosive power!"


    Zhao Feng was forced back several hundred yards. His Sacred Lightning Barrier was already shattered, and pain coursed through his body. The lightning on the surface of his Sacred Lightning Body was about to flicker and fade away.


    The combination of Tie Lingyun''s Scarlet Jade Glass Body and his Blood Devil Sun bloodline completely surpassed Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body, but luckily, Zhao Feng was able to use the lifesteal effect of his Blood Devil Sun bloodline to quickly recover his injuries.


    Hu~~


    Tie Lingyun was thrown into the ground, and a burning sensation appeared across his body. Even his Scarlet Jade Glass Body couldn''t cope with the counterattack caused by the destruction of Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Protection.


    "Zhao Feng used his flying technique and defensive abilities to take the damage of Tie Lingyun''s attack head-on." Tie Yunhuo nodded his head as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s display of battle instincts wasn''t weaker than some members of the Tie Family. However, Tie Yunhuo became completely dazed the next instant.


    "That''s the Blood Devil Charge! How does he know this bloodline secret technique of the Tie Family?"


    Tie Lingyun was also stunned. This was the Blood Devil Charge he had used at the beginning.


    The glass-like flames around Zhao Feng''s body started to boil, and the sound of explosions could be heard. The image of a bright blood-red sun started to form behind Zhao Feng''s back. In the center of it was a twisting and turning whirlpool.

 958 Each to their Own

    Chapter 958 - Each to their Own


    The Blood Devil Charge was a secret technique that was used with the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, and it could unleash explosive force and overwhelming power. The power of using this skill was the same as using the Scarlet Jade Glass Body, but the weakness was that it required a lot of bloodline power.


    Zhao Feng had seen all of this during the two times where Tie Lingyun used it. While fighting, he analyzed all of this with his left eye and copied this secret technique.


    "Hahaha! Apart from Xuanyuan Wen, you are the second person amongst the younger generation for me to fight with my full strength!" Tie Lingyun became excited after the shock passed. His opponent was extremely strong and had an even-better bloodline than his. He hadn''t had a fight like this in a long time.


    Hu~ Shu~~


    After using the Blood Devil Charge, Zhao Feng shot into the sky, and his scarlet red wings left a trail of blood behind. The bright blood-colored sun behind him released a gold-and-blood-colored light as if it was an ancient golden crow rising.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng left behind a blood-colored sun in the air as he charged downward and summoned a wave of explosions.


    With this attack, Zhao Feng pushed his speed, power, and explosiveness to the maximum. Zhao Feng could feel that his explosiveness had reached another level with the use of the Blood Devil Sun Charge.


    Even Tie Lingyun had to be wary of Zhao Feng''s terrifying power.


    Hu~~


    A flaming dragon several dozen meters long appeared beneath Tie Lingyun''s feet. The fire dragon was covered in red scales and had enormous wings. With a flap of its wings, countless flames swept toward the ground below. Tie Lingyun''s aura also seemed to become stronger as he stood on the fire dragon, as if he could borrow the power of the draconic fire within this fire dragon''s body.


    Boom! Hu!


    Tie Lingyun rode the fire dragon and charged into the sky.


    Boom~~~~


    Two blood-red-colored lights clashed once more.


    Shu~~~


    Several scarlet-red lights shot out in every direction before a storm of lightning and fire formed and shook the air itself.


    "If you want to fight in the air, then I''ll fight you in the air!"


    After this clash, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body dimmed once again, and he used the Lightning Wings Spatial Flying Technique to rise into the air.


    He realized that, with the use of the Blood Devil Charge, it wasn''t just his bloodline power that became more explosive; all attributes of the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline became stronger. In the instant just now, he had absorbed three times more energy and blood essence from Tie Lingyun''s body than before, allowing him to lower the energy expenditure of using the Blood Devil Sun Charge. At the same time, his ignition effect became more obvious.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    The instant the Blood Devil Charge ended, Zhao Feng used his flying technique and charged downward.


    Ding! Ding! Bam!


    Instead of fighting just above the ground, they now fought high in the air. It was as if this was a battle between a golden crow and a fire dragon.


    A brilliant blood-colored light covered the entire sky.


    Boom! Hu~~


    Zhao Feng used the Blood Devil Charge again and smashed into Tie Lingyun. Although Tie Lingyun was standing on top of the fire dragon and could borrow its power and its tough defenses, he lost speed and agility. All he could do was defend.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng''s Scarlet Wings of Lightning, Lightning Wings Flying Technique, and Lightning Wings Spatial Flash only made him more agile. With the help of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, his speed was pushed to the max.


    Speed could increase explosiveness, and explosiveness could increase speed.


    Zhao Feng''s each and every attack came from above. He would occasionally switch between the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash and the Blood Devil Charge. After clashing, he would immediately retreat, then prepare to propel downward again. Like this, he controlled the flow.


    "So strong! Zhao Feng has turned the tide and become the one with the initiative." Shi Yulei was stunned and started to admire Zhao Feng. If he was the one fighting Tie Lingyun instead, all he could do was stand there and get beaten. However, from the looks of it, Tie Lingyun was the one on the defensive right now. The only other person in the younger generation he thought of that could do this was Xin Wuheng.


    "Zhao Feng is training his bloodline power." Old Ying faintly nodded his head and understood why Zhao Feng didn''t use his eye-bloodline techniques. He could feel that Zhao Feng''s usage of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline was becoming more controlled and experienced. The energy he used also decreased.


    If Zhao Feng could learn the bloodline secret technique of the Tie Family, it wouldn''t be hard for him to see how else Tie Lingyun used his bloodline. Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s battle instincts were extremely astute.


    "This will be bad if it continues." Tie Yunhuo''s eyes watched all of this. Zhao Feng''s Wings of Lightning and other secret techniques made him too agile and fast. Tie Lingyun was borrowing the power of the fire dragon, but he wasn''t able to gain the advantage and could only go on the defensive.


    While there were no signs of him losing quite yet, Tie Lingyun''s Scarlet Jade Glass Body was reaching its limit. On the other side, while Zhao Feng could use the lifesteal ability, it wasn''t enough to replenish all the Yuan Qi he was using.


    If this continued, the winner would be decided by which could last longer ¨C Zhao Feng''s Yuan Qi or Tie Lingyun''s Scarlet Jade Glass Body.


    Those watching this fiery fight between bloodlines from below felt their battle-intent awakening.


    Ding! Bam!


    Tie Lingyun clashed against Zhao Feng once more and felt a strong eruptive force.


    No one knew how frustrated he felt. Zhao Feng''s attacks were extremely weird; every time they exchanged blows, Tie Lingyun felt as if he couldn''t use his full power. It was as if Zhao Feng''s attacks all went for his weaknesses.


    What strong True Yuan! This was the second thing that Tie Lingyun felt.


    From the start, Zhao Feng had maintained the Sacred Lightning Body and his flying techniques. Even if the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline could absorb energy from the opponent and replenish Zhao Feng''s True Yuan, a normal King''s True Yuan should have been completely used up long ago.


    However, what he didn''t know was that Zhao Feng had made his foundation extremely strong, and he had suppressed his cultivation in order to consolidate the quality of his True Yuan. The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was extremely unique, and it increased the quality of Zhao Feng''s True Yuan. Even some Emperors'' True Yuan wasn''t as refined as his.


    Ding! Ding! Bam!


    Tie Lingyun''s Scarlet Jade Glass Body released another surge of power, but the fire dragon below him was starting to become tired. His Scarlet Jade Glass Body was also reaching its limit, and if he continued to maintain it, his bloodline would be injured.


    Tie Lingyun''s eyes became calm as he awaited the chance to unleash all his power at once.


    Boom!


    After several blows, the desolate grounds suddenly started to shake.


    Crack!


    A certain point in the air of the Little World suddenly shattered. The power of the Little World started to become chaotic, and a destructive storm was starting to form.


    "Not good! This Little World has been heavily affected by the battle and is about to shatter!" a Quasi-Sacred Lord from Tie Yunhuo''s side exclaimed.


    "The exchanges between Zhao Feng and Tie Lingyun are too concentrated on one place, so they have heavily destroyed the structure of the Little World." Little Worlds were normally pretty stable, and Old Ying soon found the reason why this was happening.


    "They''re really going to keep on fighting?" Shi Yulei was surprised. The Little World was about to shatter. If this continued, they would both be in serious danger.


    Boom! Hu~~


    A fiery aura that covered Heaven and Earth charged toward the place where Zhao Feng and Tie Lingyun were fighting, and a surge of flames covered them.


    The Blood Devil Sun bloodline wasn''t exactly suited for prolonged battle. They were both at their limits and couldn''t fight back against the Blood Devil Sun bloodline of a Sacred Lord.


    Hu~


    Tie Lingyun''s Scarlet Jade Glass Body was instantly suppressed.


    "Let us end here. I will give my Dragon Jade to you." Tie Yunhuo threw his Dragon Jade over and gave a deep glance at Zhao Feng before taking Tie Lingyun and the other two members into the crack of the Little World.


    "Elder Yunhuo, can you tell how much True Yuan Zhao Feng has left?" Tie Lingyun was slightly unwilling. This fight had been much more difficult than what he first imagined. Zhao Feng''s every aspect had surpassed his imagination. He could also tell that the victor would''ve been decided based on which lasted longer ¨C his Scarlet Jade Glass Body or the amount of Zhao Feng''s True Yuan.


    "No, but you''ve already given it your all while he has conserved a lot of his strength." Tie Yunhuo faintly shook his head. He sensed that Zhao Feng was on guard against him, but still very calm. It was as if Zhao Feng had the confidence to stop him if he decided to attack.


    Tie Lingyun wanted to retort but was stopped.


    "You do know he has an eye-bloodline, right?" Elder Tie Yunhuo''s voice sounded in Tie Lingyun''s mind.


    The battle had felt so good that Tie Lingyun forgot that Zhao Feng had an eye-bloodline no weaker than the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    "However, your bloodline seems to have awakened even more after this fight¡­."


    Tie Yunhuo led this group and disappeared from the Little World.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng exclaimed as he caught the bright Dragon Jade and charged out from another crack. At the same time, Old Ying also exited.


    There were no signs of Tie Yunhuo''s group when everyone returned to the forest.


    "Ninth Prince." Zhao Feng handed over the Dragon Jade.


    "Brother Zhao!" The Ninth Prince''s hands were trembling. Although he had taken the Dragon Jades of many members after entering this place, this was the first time he felt like the Dragon Jade was so heavy.


    "Let''s rest here for a while." Old Ying suggested as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    After all, Zhao Feng would be the main force in the upcoming activities, and they would need him to find Yao beasts and increase the strength of his beast horde. All of this wouldn''t work if Zhao Feng was heavily injured.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng had become a core member whose status was only below Old Ying''s. Nothing could happen to Zhao Feng.


    "Sure. Now that everyone has gathered together, it''s time to discuss what we''re going to do next." Shi Yulei agreed as well. Zhao Feng''s strength made him feel calm, and he even felt like the Ninth Prince had the ability to fight against the top five princes.


    The Ninth Prince''s team rested for a short while in the forest. Zhao Feng knew what they were after, so he sat down without hesitation. He drank some Hundred Origin Fruit Juice and started to recover his injuries and replenish his energy.


    It was easy for an explosive bloodline such as the Blood Devil Sun bloodline to leave hidden injuries behind, especially after prolonged use.


    Zhao Feng had gained a lot from the fight with Tie Lingyun. Not only did he learn how to control and use his Blood Devil Sun bloodline properly, he had also copied the Blood Devil Charge, a perfect secret technique that utilized the Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng felt that Tie Lingyun''s bloodline was awakened even further because of their fight and that the latter''s strength would increase by leaps and bounds.

 959 Sky Shaking Golden Ape

    Chapter 959 - Sky Shaking Golden Ape


    "The Crown Prince trial is about to enter the second stage," Old Ying spoke in a serious tone.


    "Old Ying, do you have a plan?" Shi Yulei''s eyes were slightly dim.


    The Crown Prince trial was a game to train the future Crown Prince designed by the imperials and the Grand Imperial Hall.


    This game started with the very first "Crown Prince trial" and was perfected as time passed. The game was split into four stages: gathering of draconic providence, attacking the city, clash between princes, and the fight for the Grand Seal.


    Of course, if there weren''t enough participants in this game, then it wouldn''t be able to continue. This was why the princes needed to recruit people. To put it another way, the recruitment was also considered a stage.


    After that, everyone entering the Imperial Tombs and conquering the inheritances to gather draconic providence was the first proper stage.


    "For the ''attacking the city'' stage, we originally would''ve had to rely on luck and wait for the right moment, but now I have a new plan."


    A flash of joy passed through Old Ying''s eyes as he gave a deep glance at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng''s beast taming skills and mastery of the soul gave Old Ying confidence.


    The Ninth Prince, Zhou Su''er, and company all knew a little bit about Old Ying''s plan, but Shi Yulei and Su Qingling followed Old Ying''s gaze and looked thoughtfully at Zhao Feng.


    "Could it be that Zhao Feng''s beast taming ability surpasses most Grandmaster Beast Tamers?" Shi Yulei couldn''t help but feel shocked. He originally thought that Zhao Feng only relied on Duke Nanfeng''s connections and used the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly to take the position of beast tamer, but apparently, that wasn''t the case. Zhao Feng truly was a talented beast tamer.


    "That''s right." Zhou Su''er nodded her head. She had witnessed Zhao Feng''s beast taming abilities and had the right to speak.


    "So, what we need to do next is help Zhao Feng obtain more beast packs. This will give us an advantage when attacking the city," Old Ying said.


    Attacking the city was the time to show the strength of a full team. Beast tamers and doctors were extremely useful here. When the both worked together, they would be able to unleash massive battle-power.


    Su Qingling looked at Zhao Feng with a dazed look. This youth that they ignored and disliked had suddenly become a main character after a couple dozen days. When interacting with the others, she also realized that Zhao Feng''s mastery of the soul wasn''t simple either.


    "We need to find power-type beasts." The Ninth Prince had a joyful expression. Recruiting Zhao Feng seemed to be the most successful decision he had made so far.


    Apart from Zhao Feng, the other seven talked with one another and discussed their opinions. Zhao Feng was still able to hear what everyone said while he was recovering his injuries and cultivating.


    "Game? Attacking the city¡­? The place that we will be attacking definitely won''t be simple."


    If there was one side on offense, there would obviously be one side on defense. The place that they needed to fight over would definitely be unique in some way.


    Even the princes that had no intention of becoming the Crown Prince would participate.


    "Rely on my beast taming skills? Good!"


    Zhao Feng was looking forward to it. He had cultivated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to a level where he could have one thousand and eight hundred thoughts at once.


    The current Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique he had wasn''t complete, and Zhao Feng would only be able to cultivate up to nine thousand thoughts. As for the Duanmu Family, they might not have the complete Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, but even if they did have the complete version, Zhao Feng wouldn''t be obtaining it from them any time soon.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng had to rely on himself after reaching nine thousand thoughts. Controlling a huge number of beasts was the perfect chance for Zhao Feng to train the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. He believed that, once he reached a certain level, it wouldn''t be hard for him to extrapolate the complete version on his own.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes half a day later. The most serious injuries on his body had recovered, and he would be able to fully recover by relying on the Wood and Water of Wind Lightning.


    "We can leave now."


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. The other seven that were still discussing the plan all looked at Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve already recovered?" Zhou Su''er rushed over. At the beginning, she had come over to help Zhao Feng, but he declined her help.


    Everyone thought that they would need to stay here for another couple days, but in just half a day''s time, Zhao Feng finished recovering.


    "Indeed, he''s mostly recovered¡­." Zhou Su''er closely inspected Zhao Feng and found that there were no serious or hidden injuries on Zhao Feng''s body.


    At this instant, Zhou Su''er even thought that Zhao Feng was a Grandmaster Doctor too. If this was really the case, Zhao Feng and the Ninth Prince alone would be able to form a team in the Crown Prince trial.


    "My cultivation technique is unique and has fast recovery speed," Zhao Feng explained.


    "Okay. Let''s go then." Old Ying immediately stood up. The faster they were, the more preparations they could make.


    The plan had been decided already. Their target was the king of this forest ¨C the Sky Shaking Golden Apes.


    Sky Shaking Golden Apes didn''t just have terrifying power; their defense was also extremely strong, and they were even somewhat agile. They were much more useful than some stone monsters and many others.


    Shi Yulei and Su Qingling looked at Zhao Feng. Sky Shaking Golden Apes were an impossible task for the Grandmaster Beast Tamers of the lord dynasty.


    Sky Shaking Golden Apes didn''t live in groups, but they did have the ability to fight as a team if needed. They were chaotic and easily angered, but their will was tough. If there were no teammates specializing in battle nearby, normal beast tamers wouldn''t even be able to get close to a Sky Shaking Golden Ape, let alone tame one. Even now, they didn''t believe that Zhao Feng had this ability, but Old Ying had set this as the goal, and they believed that Old Ying wouldn''t wrongly estimate Zhao Feng''s beast taming skills.


    "The Sky Shaking Golden Apes live in the depths of this forest."


    The eight walked toward the depths of the forest and met many fierce beasts hiding. However, even though they were easily angered, they didn''t attack humans randomly.


    With Old Ying''s sensing skills, the group avoided as many beast packs as they could.


    The center of the forest was dimly lit, and each tree would need a couple dozen people linked hand by hand to wrap around it.


    Boom! Boom!


    "Hua Hui, go! This Emperor-level Sky Shaking Golden Ape is too strong," an elder in gray urged.


    A Quasi-Sacred Lord expert charged forward with a flash of gold. In front of him was a giant ape with golden fur. Its eyes were gold and red, and its enraged aura spread throughout the area.


    Even Hua Hui, who was a Quasi-Sacred Lord expert that specialized in body-strengthening, didn''t dare to fight against it head-on. He had to rely on his ability to attract its attention and let the other members of his group damage it.


    Hu~ Boom!


    Two Emperors released a surge of ice and fire that landed on the Sky Shaking Golden Ape''s back.


    Whoosh!


    On the other side, an old granny that stood on a tree shot out several arrows of light at the Sky Shaking Golden Ape''s head.


    Wu~~~~


    The Sky Shaking Golden Ape roared in anger, and the fur on its body stood up. It had massive fists that contained the force of a small mountain, and it caused the air to crack as it waved them around.


    Boom!


    A giant tree was sent flying through the air.


    "If Brother Zhu is able to tame such a powerful beast, it will be a great help to us." The eyes of a young male in golden robes on a tree far away flashed.


    "Hehe. Eleventh Prince, after we tame this Sky Shaking Golden Ape, we can use it to tame other Sky Shaking Golden Apes and keep on expanding our beast horde."


    Next to the Eleventh Prince, Zhu Long was also extremely excited. They could only tame this powerful beast by relying on a huge number of members skilled in battle.


    This was the first time he had seen such a strong Emperor-level beast. If they were able to tame this beast and take it back to the continent zone, he could flaunt it in front of the other Grandmaster Beast Tamers.


    "Brother Zhu better be fast." The Eleventh Prince was slightly impatient.


    "Your Highness, we can''t rush this. Let them put in some more effort." Zhu Long paused for a moment. Such powerful beasts couldn''t be tamed unless they became truly exhausted. He could lose his life if he wasn''t careful.


    "Who is that person?" Zhu Long suddenly sensed something and turned around. Several figures appeared in front of the Eleventh Prince.


    "Brother Ninth Prince." The Eleventh Prince let out a breath. The difference in strength between the lower-ranked princes wasn''t very big. Furthermore, the Ninth Prince''s team didn''t have many members. It was only because he was so personally talented and had a good personality that he was even ranked 7th.


    However, the three Emperors on the Eleventh Prince''s side that were fighting immediately called out.


    "It''s him!"


    "It''s Zhao Feng!"


    The other members of the Eleventh Prince''s group instinctively looked at Zhao Feng. Amongst them, Zhu Long''s eyes were filled with interest.


    At the same time, the Ninth Prince''s side all looked at Zhao Feng. Who knew what kind of shenanigans he had pulled when he was travelling alone with Zhou Su''er?


    "Zhao Feng, you robbed those three earlier," Zhou Su''er warned Zhao Feng after seeing that he had no impression of them at all. When she was together with Zhao Feng, they had robbed two groups; the first was from the Sixth Prince''s team while the second was from the Eleventh Prince''s team.


    "May I know why Brother Ninth Prince is here?" The Eleventh Prince''s expression remained the same. Those three had told him many times about what had happened. From his point of view, there was only one possibility ¨C Zhao Feng had a treasure that could allow him to adapt to this dimension. Otherwise, even Sacred Lords wouldn''t be as terrifying as they had described.


    "We''re here to tame a Sky Shaking Golden Ape as well, but we didn''t expect Brother Eleventh Prince to be here as well," the Ninth Prince told the truth, but the expressions of the Eleventh Prince''s team instantly changed.


    From their perspective, the Ninth Prince''s tone was provoking them. Beast Tamer Zhu Long next to the Eleventh Prince spun around and immediately sent the Eleventh Prince a message.


    A smile appeared on the Eleventh Prince''s face; "Since Brother Ninth Prince is here to tame the Sky Shaking Golden Ape as well, we can team up and first suppress this Sky Shaking Golden Ape before deciding who it belongs to."

 960 Directly Taking Action

    Chapter 960 - Directly Taking Action


    A smile appeared on the Eleventh Prince''s face; "Since Brother Ninth Prince is here to tame the Sky Shaking Golden Ape as well, we can team up and first suppress this Sky Shaking Golden Ape before deciding who it belongs to.


    Seeing that the Ninth Prince didn''t immediately reply, the Eleventh Prince started to privately talk with his subordinates.


    "Zhu Long, there''s no problem, right?"


    "Your Highness, don''t worry. They won''t decline. The Sky Shaking Golden Ape is a beast standing at the peak among Emperor-level beasts. Its battle-power is extremely strong, and it has a powerful Intent. They''ll have to spend a lot of time if they want to restrain it by themselves."


    Zhu Long looked at Zhao Feng. According to what he knew, Zhao Feng hadn''t actually passed the test to become a Grandmaster Beast Tamer, he only relied on the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly that he borrowed to become the beast tamer on the Ninth Prince''s team.


    Therefore, after they suppressed this Sky Shaking Golden Ape, he would suggest a battle between beast tamers to decide who the Sky Shaking Golden Ape went to. He wouldn''t make the same mistake that Grandmaster Beast Tamer Liang Sang had made by deciding the victor with spiritual pets.


    "Brother Eleventh Prince, we want this Sky Shaking Golden Ape," the Ninth Prince''s voice suddenly sounded.


    "What!?" Zhu Long paused. He didn''t expect the Ninth Prince''s team to reject them. No matter how one looked at them, their team was relatively weak. Only Old Ying and Shi Yulei had any true battle-power. Why would they reject them? And in such an arrogant and forceful manner?


    "Brother Ninth Prince, neither of us will become the Crown Prince, so there''s no need for us to fight. Why don''t we team up and fight against the Seventh or Eighth Prince? We still might be able to obtain some benefits from the Heaven''s Legacy City." The Eleventh Prince''s face was green. The Ninth Prince''s actions today were different from normal; he was extremely forceful.


    "Eleventh Prince, you have two choices: leave now, or lose all your draconic providence and then leave." Old Ying stood forward, and his tone was even more decisive.


    Hearing this, the Ninth Prince''s team felt extremely satisfied.


    "Hmph. Brother Ninth Prince, you''re too confident." Although the Eleventh Prince''s overall strength was only ranked 9th, the power of his team was definitely not weaker than the Ninth Prince.


    At the same time, the members of the Eleventh Prince''s team felt something was wrong, and they started to direct the Sky Shaking Golden Ape toward the Ninth Prince.


    "Too much nonsense!" Shi Yulei roared as he charged out. A dark yellow light glittered around his body, and part of his body instantly petrified. Other parts became metallic, and an invisible surge of physical power rose into the sky.


    Old Ying, Zhao Feng, and others who could fight immediately followed behind.


    The Ninth Prince''s team was about to attack. If they were scared of a mere Eleventh Prince, how were they going to face the Eighth, Seventh, or Fourth Prince?


    "You¡­!" The Eleventh Prince''s heart jumped, and he didn''t know what to do. The Ninth Prince''s team was acting way too differently from normal ¨C they were going to attack!


    "Eleventh Prince, don''t rush! Let them witness the beasts of the Imperial Tombs!" Zhu Long was enraged and opened his spiritual pet bag.


    A chaotic aura instantly appeared in the forest. Close to a hundred Purple-Striped Black Leopards surrounded Zhu Long and the Eleventh Prince.


    "Eh? A beast pack?" Zhao Feng looked at the Purple-Striped Black Leopard King. It wasn''t hard to tell that Zhu Long had enslaved the Purple-Striped Black Leopard King in order to control the entire beast pack.


    A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face as a purple-golden ripple sparkled from his left eye, and a strong surge of eye-bloodline power shot out. In the next instant, a scarlet-red light flashed in the Purple-Striped Black Leopard King''s eyes, and its face started to contort in pain.


    "What''s going on? Purple-Striped Black Leopard King!" Zhu Long''s expression changed dramatically. The Purple-Striped Black Leopard King''s personality suddenly changed, and his connection with it was fading.


    Wu~~


    The Purple-Striped Black Leopard King escaped Zhu Long''s control and turned into a dark figure that suddenly charged at Zhu Long, who was closest to it. At the same time, Zhu Long lost control of the entire Purple-Striped Black Leopard beast pack. When the Purple-Striped Black Leopard King attacked Zhu Long and company, the other Purple-Striped Black Leopards all started to follow.


    "Grandmaster Zhu, what''s going on!?" The Eleventh Prince was filled with fear and immediately roared. The two of them were at the very center of the Purple-Striped Black Leopard pack, and after they lost control of it, the Purple-Striped Black Leopards leapt toward them. The Eleventh Prince and Zhu Long were filled with fear and panic as they faced the entire Purple-Striped Black Leopard pack.


    Hu~~~


    The other members of the Eleventh Prince''s team instantly went to his side. Hua Hui punched out a golden fist containing extreme power and forced back the Purple-Striped Black Leopard King, while the other members all radiated a strong pressure and blocked the other incoming leopards.


    "Your Highness, don''t worry. I''ll be able to regain control of the Purple-Striped Black Leopard King very soon." Zhu Long''s face went red as he tried many ways to comfort and communicate with the Purple-Striped Black Leopard King.


    "Grandmaster Zhu Long, watch out!" the elder in gray exclaimed and thrust out a palm that blocked Old Ying and company''s attacks.


    "Hmph. Shi Yulei, your opponent is me." Hua Hui charged at Shi Yulei.


    While the Eleventh Prince''s team broke into chaos:


    Hu~


    A pair of Scarlet Wings of Lightning spread behind Zhao Feng''s back.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng didn''t care about the Eleventh Prince or the Purple-Striped Black Leopard pack. He turned into a bolt of scarlet lightning and sped toward the Sky Shaking Golden Ape.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!"


    A golden-blue lightning appeared around Zhao Feng''s body as he charged at the Sky Shaking Golden Ape like a miniature mountain of golden lightning.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye glowed with purple and gold as the faint symbols of God Tribulation Lightning flashed and release a strong surge of flames.


    Voom~~~~!


    A ball of half-transparent purple-and-gold lightning flames containing the Destructive aura of God Tribulation Lightning exploded on the Sky Shaking Golden Ape''s head.


    Wu~~~


    The already-injured Sky Shaking Golden Ape roared as Zhao Feng''s attack landed on its face. Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning Eye Flame contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning, and it burned across its body and soul.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng punched the Sky Shaking Golden Ape in the face. At the same time, a Dark Heart Seal that had already been condensed in Zhao Feng''s left eye imprinted itself into the depths of the Sky Shaking Golden Ape''s soul.


    This process was extremely quick; it only used a couple breaths'' time.


    "What is that brat doing?"


    "He''s going to challenge the Sky Shaking Golden Ape by himself?"


    The Eleventh Prince''s team could feel the situation between Zhao Feng and the Sky Shaking Golden Ape while they were fighting.


    "How is he so strong? How is this possible?" Hua Hui''s expression was filled with shock. He could feel the strength of Zhao Feng''s physical body even from this far away.


    "That brat''s gone crazy." Zhu Long''s heart jumped when he saw Zhao Feng fight with the Sky Shaking Golden Ape. In his heart, Zhao Feng was just a sham of a beast tamer, but that battle-power wasn''t something that a measly King could possess. From the cries of the Sky Shaking Golden Ape, he could tell how strong Zhao Feng''s attacks were.


    "Eleventh Prince, don''t rush. The Purple-Striped Black Leopard King''s emotions are calming down." Zhu Long had used many beast taming secret techniques to calm down the Purple-Striped Black Leopard King, and he tried to slowly communicate with it.


    The leopard pack was slowly calming down as well, instantly decreasing the pressure on the Eleventh Prince''s team.


    "Hmph, you''re courting death!" Zhu Long regained control of the Purple-Striped Black Leopard King, and he puffed out his chest as he looked at Old Ying and company as he got ready to direct the Purple-Striped Black Leopard King.


    However, in the next instant:


    Boom!


    A loud explosion sounded from behind, and a fierce aura made the Eleventh Prince and company feel cold.


    Wu~~


    The Sky Shaking Golden Ape roared in anger and leapt at the Eleventh Prince and company. Its body was like a giant mountain as it crushed over.


    "What!??"


    "That brat actually managed to tame the Sky Shaking Golden Ape?"


    The members of the Eleventh Prince''s team were stunned. There was such a powerful and strong beast tamer?


    "How is this possible? That''s a Sky Shaking Golden Ape!" Zhu Long just stood there, and his mind was blank. In just the couple breaths'' of time he used to comfort the Purple-Striped Black Leopard King, Zhao Feng successfully tamed the Sky Shaking Golden Ape.


    Wu~~


    The Purple-Striped Black Leopard pack that Zhu Long just regained control of looked at the approaching mountain-like Sky Shaking Golden Ape and started to howl and run away.


    Boom!


    The Sky Shaking Golden Ape landed in front of the Eleventh Prince''s team. Wood of Wind Lightning circulated around its body as Zhao Feng stood on top of it and looked over everyone.


    "Hand over all your draconic providence or else I''ll make you leave the Imperial Tombs." Zhao Feng''s voice was cold. The Eleventh Prince''s team shook, and no one fought back at this moment. The three Emperors that Zhao Feng robbed earlier trembled in fright.


    "Zhao Feng, you¡­!" The Eleventh Prince was enraged, and a sparkling bright piece of jade appeared in his hand.


    "Eleventh Prince, wait!" Zhu Long immediately stopped him. "Eleventh Prince, even if you use draconic providence to increase your battle-power, the Ninth Prince can do the same."


    The Eleventh Prince gritted his teeth after hearing what Zhu Long said. There was nothing he could do.


    "Brother Ninth Prince, fine!" The Eleventh Prince threw over his pseudo Crown Prince Seal angrily, and the other members of the Eleventh Prince''s team handed over their Dragon Jades. They hadn''t gone out of their way to gather draconic providence anyways.


    In the center of the Imperials Tombs were four enormous cities made of metal, each in one of the cardinal directions. Within the cities were weird metallic buildings, forming a forest of metal. There were clock towers that reached the sky, mysterious divination towers, an elegant fountain, and all kinds of other buildings.


    Each city had a large number of beasts in front of the gates. At this moment in time, in front of the southern city''s gates, two armies of beasts were fighting against each another. Ice Wolves, Flaming Tigers, Giant Bears, and a horde of snakes were all present and causing chaos.


    "Dammit, the Eighth Prince''s city is the weakest of the four cities but is already so hard to defeat."


    "That''s so unfair! They bought beasts from the Heaven''s Legacy City."


    Several dozen people stood in front of the city gates. Two of them were beast tamers, and they gritted their teeth as they controlled massive numbers of beasts to charge at the metallic city.


    "Not good, members of the Yu Family have come out!"


    "It''s Yu Tianhao and Yu Lenghua!"


    Two figures appeared on the walls of the city.


    "Unparalleled Battle Intent!"


    Battle-intent that could scare Gods and Ghosts alike shot out from Yu Tianhao and Elder Yu Lenghua''s eyes. Elder Yu Lenghua was from the previous generation. A faint cold figure appeared behind both of them, and the invisible battle-intent caused the air to twist.


    Boom!


    The beasts in front of the city started to howl and roar. Their eyes became filled with excitement, and they released limitless pressure.


    "The secret technique of the Yu Family is effective even on beasts!"


    "Make our beasts quickly retreat!"

 961 Attacking the City

    Chapter 961 - Attacking the City


    "Brother Fifth Prince, from the looks of it, the two of us alone aren''t enough." A handsome young prince sighed.


    "Brother Twelfth Prince, you''re correct. We should retreat first and wait for Brother Second Prince to arrive."


    The Fifth Prince had a grim expression and cold eyes. If he teamed up with the Twelfth Prince, they should have been able to defeat a Heaven''s Legacy City. The Twelfth Prince was ranked last among the ten participating princes; was extremely young, and he had no one close to him that made any plans for him. A partner like this would only be used by the Fifth Prince.


    However, they weren''t able to even get close to the Eighth Prince''s gate even when they combined their strengths. The beasts in front of the other three city gates made them too scared to even consider fighting. However, the Eighth Prince had members of the Yu Family in his team, and their secret technique could dramatically strengthen their beasts.


    "If the Eighth Prince didn''t use his wealth to buy a bunch of beasts from the Heaven''s Legacy City¡­!" The Twelfth Prince was angry, but there was nothing he could do. The attackers could team up with each other, but the defenders had their advantages as well.


    For example, the Eighth Prince purchased a bunch of beasts from the Spiritual Pet Garden within the Heaven''s Legacy City. If one was rich enough, they could even buy ancient beasts that only appeared in legends.


    Furthermore, the Eighth Prince also went to the array tower and bought a highly-ranked defensive array. As long as there was an array master in his team controlling it, he would be able to easily defend.


    This was the reason why, even if a prince had no intention of becoming the Crown Prince, they would still participate ¨C they wanted to conquer a Heaven''s Legacy City.


    The four Heaven''s Legacy Cities in the center of the Imperial Tombs were from the Heaven''s Legacy Era. There was countless fortune here; as long as one could pay the price, they could even obtain a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.


    The four Heaven''s Legacy Cities were respectively captured by the Fourth, Seventh, Eighth, and Thirteenth Princes. Among these four, the Eighth Prince was the weakest.


    "Hmph, their wealth and resources are limited. They can''t buy beasts endlessly." The Fifth Prince harrumphed coldly.


    All the experts that entered a Heaven''s Legacy City would use most of their wealth to buy whatever they needed, such as weapons or cultivation resources. Many Quasi-Sacred Lords participated in the Crown Prince trial to come here and buy spiritual pills that could help them break through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    Yu Tianhao stood on top of the city wall and looked around with his black eyes. He completely ignored the Fifth and Twelfth Prince as he looked into the distance. "Zhao Feng still hasn''t come yet."


    "Hmph, I also want to see how skilled this Zhao Feng is." Yu Lenghua knew a bit about the situation between Yu Tianhao and Zhao Feng. Furthermore, Zhao Feng had even forced Ji Bai, who was in Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s group, to use the array in his Dragon Jade to escape.


    "Zhao Feng!" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined was also here behind the walls, and his expression changed after hearing them talk. He had just arrived at the Heaven''s Legacy City, and he hadn''t told everyone else anything about Zhao Feng''s bloodline. He thought that the Yu Family already knew about it.


    "Sacred Lord Hundred Refined, you underestimate your opponents too much. Perhaps that''s why you were tricked by a King?" Yu Lenghua joked. Ji Bai had told them about what had happened when he returned to the Eighth Prince''s side.


    "You all know that Zhao Feng has the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, right?" Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s face went red.


    "Of course we do." Yu Lenghua''s eyes were cold. The Tie and Yu Families both guarded the northwestern borders against the non-humans, and the two families clashed against one another constantly.


    Something seemed to have happened between Zhao Feng and the Tie Family before the fights for the positions. However, even if Zhao Feng had the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, that wasn''t an excuse for Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s failure.


    "It''s not a normal Blood Devil Sun bloodline." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s tone dropped, and Yu Lenghua and Yu Tianhao instantly started to think. Yu Lenghua''s expression suddenly turned to shock, and Yu Tianhao released a surge of battle-intent.


    "Could it be the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline?" Yu Lenghua seemed to remember something and acted differently.


    "As expected of Zhao Feng." Yu Tianhao''s eyes glowed with excitement, and the bloodline within his body started to tremble. He never would have imagined that Zhao Feng would accidentally obtain the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline of the Tie Family. The Tie Family was enemies with the Yu Family.


    "Doctor Li, quickly heal the beasts." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined didn''t reply to Yu Lenghua. He was more focused on the current fight.


    The Fifth Prince and Twelfth Prince teaming up caused them to expend a lot of beasts. Although the Yu Family had a secret technique that could strengthen beasts, these beasts would become even more tired afterward, and they needed time to rest. It would be bad if the Ninth Prince''s team suddenly came and attacked the Heaven''s Legacy City that the Eighth Prince was guarding on top of that.


    "Who''s that¡­? The Second Prince is here." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s eyes glimmered with surprise as he looked into the distance. The Eighth Prince and the other team members within the metallic buildings all received Sacred Lord Hundred Refined''s message.


    Opposite the metallic city walls, the Fifth and Twelfth Princes revealed joyful expressions.


    "Brother Second Prince, you''re finally here." The Fifth Prince immediately went forward.


    "Brother Second Prince, your team members¡­?" The Twelfth Prince saw that the Second Prince only had nine people in his team.


    The Second Prince''s face became ugly, and the goateed elder in his team revealed a slightly awkward expression; the two missing members had followed him and died in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground.


    "I understand what the two of you want, and it''s not like we can''t team up¡­." The Second Prince had a steady expression.


    "Oh? What other requirements does Brother Second Prince have? You can tell us." The Fifth and Twelfth Princes had slightly ugly expressions.


    The Second Prince''s overall strength was ranked 5th, and his battle-power couldn''t be ignored. He was an important factor that could decide the victor. Therefore, the Second Prince had the right to require something from them. As long as it didn''t affect them too much, they could accept it.


    "If we team up, I hope that none of us will attack each another before the Crown Prince trial ends."


    The Second Prince''s requirement made the other two princes falter for a moment.


    The Twelfth Prince immediately smiled; "Of course."


    The Fifth Prince lowered his eyes. The Twelfth Prince was ranked last amongst the ten princes, so of course he would agree. What could he possibly do even if he wanted to? The Second Prince was obviously speaking to him.


    "Us three will take turns entering the Heaven''s Legacy City." The Second Prince told them how they would split the Heaven''s Legacy City. The Fifth Prince had to agree in the end; at least this meant they still had the chance to enter the Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "Okay, we will start attacking after your beasts recover." The Second Prince looked at the resting beasts and the two busy doctors.


    Half a day later, the Second, Fifth, and Twelfth Princes combined forces and attacked the Eighth Prince''s Heaven''s Legacy City.


    Three beast tamers controlled close to a thousand fierce beasts and made them charge toward the city walls. Over half of them were tamed in the Imperial Tombs, and they were extremely deadly and fierce.


    The Eighth Prince''s beasts were immediately at the disadvantage, and they retreated to the edge of the defensive array.


    "Go!" the three princes roared, and the battle members of the three teams charged out.


    At this moment, the Eighth Prince''s entire team of eleven people was present on the city walls.


    "We are only going to defend." The Eighth Prince had a steady gaze; he wasn''t in a rush. Although there were about thirty people attacking him and they had many more beasts, he had two Sacred Lords and a defensive array. The Eighth Prince still had the advantage overall.


    "Yu Lenghua, let''s go." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined stepped forward.


    "Let me witness the hundred battle techniques of Sacred Lord Hundred Refined." Yu Lenghua floated out as a surge of battle-intent radiated from his body.


    At the same time, within the center of a forest:


    Boom!


    Two Sky Shaking Golden Apes clashed with one another.


    The other members of the Ninth Prince''s team were cultivating on the side. Everyone had gained a lot after entering the Imperial Tombs. For example, Shi Yulei had obtained a complete inheritance, including an Inheritance Sacred weapon and secrets technique, but he needed time to master it.


    Zhao Feng knew that it was time for the beast tamers to perform soon, so he started to search through the knowledge and tips and tricks of beast tamers within his mind. He also controlled and trained beasts within his Little World.


    Most beast tamers were weak personally, but they could unleash strong battle-power through their beasts. It wasn''t hard for them to use a group of King beasts to trap several Emperors.


    "Enslaving the leader of the beast pack alone means that I can''t control every beast well." Zhao Feng comprehended. Even if he gave the leader of the pack an order, it would take time for the other beasts in the pack to react and respond.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng tried to use the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and merge his thoughts into the bodies of each beast.


    He first tested it with a hundred beasts. Two hundred¡­ three hundred¡­ five hundred.


    "Five hundred beasts is my limit."


    Zhao Feng felt slightly tired. He could only control five hundred beasts with this method. However, these five hundred beasts were like Zhao Feng''s limbs; they could move as he wished, and their offense and defense were both decided by him.


    If the beast tamer knew how to use them wisely, five hundred King beasts would be able to trap at least ten Emperors.


    Furthermore, all of Zhao Feng''s beasts were from the Imperial Tombs and had stronger battle-power than normal beasts.


    Boom!


    The fight between the two Sky Shaking Golden Ape''s finally came to an end. It was obvious that Zhao Feng''s Sky Shaking Golden Ape had won.


    Zhao Feng jumped out and put the other Sky Shaking Golden Ape into the Misty Spatial World while imprinting his Dark Heart Seal into it.


    "I''m still lacking two Sky Shaking Golden Apes. I''ll be back soon." Zhao Feng looked at the other members. Shi Yulei, Su Qingling, and the Ninth Prince were in a state of comprehension and not to be disturbed.


    "That''s good." Old Ying believed in Zhao Feng''s strength. His beast horde was already extremely terrifying. The Ninth Prince and company needed someone to protect them, so Old Ying would stay behind.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye scanned over the area, and he avoided some beast packs as he headed toward a solo Sky Shaking Golden Ape.


    "What are you following me for?" Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Zhou Su''er behind him.


    "Zhao Feng, I want to ask; when are you going to kill-"


    Zhao Feng immediately shut her mouth before Zhou Su''er could finish speaking.


    "You! What are you doing?" Zhou Su''er''s face went red as she struggled out of Zhao Feng''s hand and yelled in anger. No one of the opposite sex had ever touched her face or mouth. Was Zhao Feng purposely trying to take advantage of her?

 962 Who should we Attack?

    Chapter 962 - Who Should we Attack?


    Although Zhao Feng didn''t understand the Crown Prince trial too well, he knew that the princes could use their pseudo Crown Prince Seal to connect to the Grand Imperial Hall and leave with all of their team members. Zhao Feng could feel that the pseudo Crown Prince Seal in the Ninth Prince''s possession contained complex arrays and abilities.


    This meant that the Grand Imperial Hall had a strong control over this dimension.


    "Everything we do here might be under the control of the Imperials," Zhao Feng said through Spiritual Sense. Hearing this, Zhou Su''er instantly held her mouth with her hand and looked at Zhao Feng with some embarrassment. If what Zhao Feng said was true, then she might have almost gotten Zhao Feng killed just now.


    The Great Gan Lord Dynasty was a powerhouse that ruled over eighteen provinces, including the Cang Ocean. No one could even joke about killing a prince. On top of that, the Thirteenth Prince was the prince that the current Sacred Emperor liked most right now.


    "Go back. There might not be any time to rest later."


    Zhou Su''er would come into play when they were going to attack the city.


    Zhao Feng didn''t blame Zhou Su''er. He didn''t expect that the Crown Prince trial would be a game like this. Killing the Thirteenth Prince would be almost impossible in this place.


    Zhou Su''er wasn''t really interested in the Crown Prince trial and didn''t know too much about it either, but their actions caused a wave of discussion within the Great Gan Imperial Palace. The two were within range of the Ninth Prince''s seal, and their actions were displayed on the screen in the outside world.


    "What''s the relationship between Princess Su''er and Zhao Feng?"


    "Zhao Feng managed to trick an Imperial Princess?"


    "Why would Princess Su''er like Zhao Feng?"


    Many experts in the outside world were stunned. One had to know that, even though Zhou Su''er had left the Imperial Palace, she was still an Imperial Princess and had countless admirers.


    "Good. It seems that brat likes someone else now." The Thirteenth Prince''s uncle and some of the forces supporting the Thirteenth Prince were overjoyed. This meant that they didn''t need to think about how to get rid of Zhao Feng; as long as Zhao Yufei knew about this, she would definitely cut ties with Zhao Feng on her own.


    "Zhao Feng is so talented¡­." In the Ninth Prince''s hall, Old Monster Xu was filled with admiration.


    "Zhao Feng¡­? That''s impossible!" Duanmu Qing shook his head. This one little action couldn''t prove anything.


    Although Zhao Feng and Zhou Su''er''s actions surprised the forces and experts in the outside world, it quickly calmed down. What they cared about more was Zhao Feng''s strength.


    Everyone in the outside world had seen the battle between Zhao Feng and Tie Lingyun in the inheritance. The shock of seeing the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline wasn''t any weaker than seeing the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline.


    The strongest bloodlines of two families had appeared in the same era. Was this foreshadowing something?


    The strength that Zhao Feng displayed also made the expressions of many forces turn colorful. For example, Nine Darkness Palace, the Tie Family, the Yu Family, and the forces within the Eighth Prince''s hall.


    Apart from the scenes of attacking the cities, many people were paying attention to the Ninth Prince. After all, they had all seen the process of the Ninth Prince''s team taming beasts. They believed that the appearance of the Ninth Prince''s team would make this stage more interesting.


    However, many Grandmaster Beast Tamers believed that Zhao Feng was only controlling the leaders of the beast packs and didn''t have a strong control over the beast packs themselves. That wouldn''t be enough against the older Grandmaster Beast Tamers.


    At this moment, in front of the Eighth Prince''s city wall were the beasts and the battle specialists from both sides.


    The Eighth Prince relied on the defensive array and could protect his team for now. Sacred Lord Hundred Refined and Yu Lenghua both had extreme battle-power; they stalled one Sacred Lord and several dozen Quasi-Sacred Lords.


    Sacred Lord Lightning Tooth in the Fifth Prince''s team was also very strong for someone at the beginning stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but he wasn''t Yu Lenghua''s match.


    "Dammit, if you''re so skilled, then come out and fight." A Quasi-Sacred Lord from the Fifth Prince''s team swore.


    The Eighth Prince''s team members just stood close to the edges of the defensive array and reduced the power of enemy attacks. When they had time to spare, they would occasionally kill the beasts below and reduce the pressure on Ji Bai.


    On the other hand, the attackers needed to destroy the defensive array first before they could enter.


    "Ji Bai, hold on. Just focus on defense." The Eighth Prince was slightly worried as he looked at the sweating Ji Bai. After all, even though Ji Bai had the Purple Star Eyes and had become more skillful after entering the Heaven''s Legacy City, he was facing three beast tamers.


    "Come help! This Yu Tianhao''s battle-power isn''t weaker than a normal Sacred Lord!" Two Quasi-Sacred Lords became more stunned the longer they fought Yu Tianhao. Yu Tianhao was only an Emperor and hadn''t even completely awakened the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline, and yet he could still suppress the two of them.


    "What a unique Little World!" Two Emperors that saw Luo Zun''s Little World of Ice and Fire were shocked. Since the power of Little Worlds were heavily suppressed in the Imperial Tombs, hardly anyone used them.


    "Come!" Luo Zun was filled with battle-intent. His Little World of Ice and Fire was only just formed before entering the Imperial Tombs. He then started to perfect it after entering the Imperial Tombs, so it was somewhat adapted to this dimension.


    "Brother Second Prince, the situation isn''t looking good." The Fifth Prince''s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the battle. While it seemed like they had the advantage, they actually didn''t.


    "The strength of everyone in the Eighth Prince''s team has become stronger after entering the Heaven''s Legacy City." The Second Prince''s eyes sparkled as he looked at the experts fighting in the air.


    The members of the Eighth Prince''s team were stronger and had more potential.


    "How about we fight as well?" The Twelfth Prince had an impatient expression, and he clenched his fists. Princes could use the draconic providence to increase their battle-power. If the three princes started to fight, the tide might turn.


    "Wait for a bit first." The Second Prince stood with his hands behind his back. There was still some time before the "attacking the city" stage ended. They couldn''t use their draconic providence so rashly.


    The three princes decided to retreat after half a day. They couldn''t do anything against the Eighth Prince, who decided to only guard the city.


    The three princes and their team members discussed what to do behind a giant rock.


    "The critical point is the defensive array."


    "The Eighth Prince''s defensive array was bought from the Array Tower. It''s too strong."


    "We only have one array master. We can''t deal with it."


    Everyone found the critical point of this battle.


    At this moment, four figures flew over. A fiery hot aura descended before entering the Heaven''s Legacy City in the eastern direction.


    "That''s a group from the Fourth Prince''s team."


    "It''s the group led by Sacred Lord Tie Yunhuo."


    Everyone sighed after the surprise passed. Although the city that the Fourth Prince captured only had two groups guarding it, no one dared to attack them.


    The three princes then made another plan. They would use the defense-type and power-type beasts to expend the energy of the defensive array. Only then would the array master be able to destroy the array.


    The three princes then sent out their beast tamers and some battle members into areas that were densely packed with defense-type and power-type beasts in order to tame some.


    Two days later, another group of people arrived at the four Heaven''s Legacy Cities, but they weren''t sent out by the three princes.


    "The four Heaven''s Legacy Cities." Shi Yulei was extremely excited.


    "From the looks of it, only the Eighth Prince''s side has fought so far," Old Ying looked down and said.


    "Era of the Heaven''s Legacy Race¡­." Su Qingling''s cold expression changed slightly.


    "It is indeed a Heaven''s Legacy City." Joy and surprise flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Back at the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land, Zhao Feng had entered the hidden Heaven''s Legacy City in the bottom of the ocean. Zhao Feng had spent all his wealth back then but was still unsatisfied. He didn''t expect to see a Heaven''s Legacy City again. Zhao Feng couldn''t help but reveal a faint smile; he would probably be able to buy a lot with his current wealth.


    "Ninth Prince." The Second Prince started to think as he looked at the Ninth Prince.


    "Second Prince, us three are enough to take down this Heaven''s Legacy City," the Fifth Prince immediately said. He knew that the Second Prince was considering whether or not to team up with the Ninth Prince.


    "Zhao Feng!" Xue Yuan and three other members from the Fifth Prince''s team called out. At the same time, an elder in white and three other members from the Twelfth Prince''s team also yelled out Zhao Feng''s name in frustration.


    "Zhao Feng, Old Ying, and Jing Kai didn''t die!" The goateed elder and another member from the Second Prince''s team felt incredulous. All the groups that entered the Black Wind Canyon had lost several members, but Zhao Feng''s group had all survived.


    "Xue Yuan, what is it?" the Fifth Prince asked.


    "Your Highness, we met Zhao Feng in the Imperial Sky Inheritance after being kicked out by Sacred Lord Hundred Refined, and he extorted us for a Dragon Jade." Xue Yuan''s face went red with embarrassment.


    Hearing that, everyone in the Fifth Prince''s team that didn''t already know became angry.


    Several Divine Senses scanned out from the four Heaven''s Legacy Cities.


    "Zhao Feng!" Yu Tianhao flew to the top of the city wall as battle-intent surged from his eyes.


    "Yu Tianhao, come back!" Yu Lenghua''s voice sounded in Yu Tianhao''s mind.


    Yu Tianhao hesitated for a moment before stopping on the city wall. He knew that the Eighth Prince''s situation wasn''t very good, so he couldn''t just leave the Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "If the Ninth Prince attacks us, leave Zhao Feng to me," Yu Tianhao suddenly said.


    The Eighth Prince and the other members all paused for a moment. They somehow felt like Yu Tianhao wanted the Ninth Prince to attack them.


    The Ninth Prince''s team slowed down.


    "Old Ying, who should we attack?" Shi Yulei asked and looked at the Eighth Prince''s city.


    From the current situation, the Eighth Prince was already facing three princes and was in the most danger. There were no signs of battle at the other three Heaven''s Legacy Cities, so all of their strength was perfectly preserved.


    "Shen Jizi, Zhao Feng, what do you think?" Old Ying asked after thinking for a moment.


    Shen Jizi closed his eyes and started to calculate while Zhao Feng started to think as well.


    "The Seventh Prince," Zhao Feng and Shen Jizi said at the same time.

 963 Clash between Beasts

    Chapter 963 - Clash Between Beasts


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment before looking at Shen Jizi.


    The reason he said he wanted to attack the Seventh Prince was because he knew quite a few people on the Eighth Prince''s team, and although they weren''t exactly friends, they weren''t really enemies either.


    Another reason was that, in the Black Wind Canyon, Jiang Hao''s group had lost two members, including Array Master Wu Yu. Jiang Hao was from the Seventh Prince''s team, so their overall strength wasn''t as high as the Eighth Prince.


    All in all, Zhao Feng wanted to attack the Seventh Prince mainly because of personal reasons. So why did Shen Jizi also choose the Seventh Prince?


    The others all looked at Zhao Feng and Shen Jizi in surprise.


    "Why?" Shi Yulei questioned. He was curious why Zhao Feng and Shen Jizi both said the same thing. The Eighth Prince should be the more logical choice.


    "If my guesses are correct, the Eighth Prince''s overall strength is slightly stronger than the Seventh Prince. Even if we managed to take over his Heaven''s Legacy City, we would need to watch out in case they wanted to reclaim it," Old Ying said after some thinking.


    He was originally planning to attack the Eighth Prince''s Heaven''s Legacy City as well, but there must have been some reasons for Zhao Feng and Shen Jizi to attack the Seventh Prince instead. Furthermore, Shen Jizi cultivated the Dao of Life and was a master of divination; he might have divined some particularly important information.


    "Indeed." Su Qingling gently nodded her head.


    The three people in their group with the most power decided to attack the Seventh Prince. Everyone else would naturally start to believe in them.


    Behind the giant rock where the other three princes were gathered together.


    "They''re heading toward the Heaven''s Legacy City in the west!?" an Emperor exclaimed.


    "What? They''re going to attack the Seventh Prince?"


    "How can that be? The Ninth Prince is ranked 7th. How can he be the Seventh Prince''s match? The Seventh Prince''s strength is ranked 3rd."


    "They''re courting death."


    Many experts belonging to the three princes mocked and were surprised.


    "Maybe it''s because the Ninth Prince saw that us three were teamed up. Even if he came to attack the Eighth Prince, he would get nothing out of it."


    "Hehe, of course. Our forces are enough to take down the Eighth Prince."


    Everyone soon thought of the reason.


    "Hehe, at least they know their place." The Fifth Prince had a cold smile on his face.


    With the Second Prince''s neutral and stable attitude, it was likely that he would invite the Ninth Prince into their party. As the moment, the three princes had decided to split the profits of the Heaven''s Legacy City into three portions. The Fifth Prince obviously didn''t want the Ninth Prince to join in and split the profits even further.


    On top of the city hall where the Eighth Prince was located, all of the Eighth Prince''s team members had puzzled expressions as they looked at the Ninth Prince and company fly toward the Heaven''s Legacy City in the west.


    "Why are they¡­?"


    They originally thought that the Ninth Prince would join the Second Prince and attack them as well. If that happened, they wouldn''t be able to protect the Heaven''s Legacy City no matter how strong they were.


    Sacred Lord Hundred Refined and the two geniuses of the Ji Family were puzzled as well.


    "Zhao Feng!" Yu Tianhao was slightly disappointed, and he looked at those behind him before talking in a serious tone, "It should be because all of you have already lost to Zhao Feng, so he feels like there''s no point in attacking this Heaven''s Legacy City."


    Hearing this, the expressions of the Eighth Prince, Luo Zun, Sacred Lord Hundred Refined, and the geniuses of the Ji Family stiffened. Their mouths started to twitch, but they didn''t say anything ¨C it was true; Zhao Feng''s strength was deeply imprinted into their hearts, especially the Eighth Prince''s.


    The Eighth Prince was full of regret ever since he first met Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had great success in the Divine Illusion Dimension, and he even had the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. If he had just maintained a good relationship with Zhao Feng, then maybe Zhao Feng would be one of his biggest helpers right now.


    At this moment, in the Heaven''s Legacy City located in the west:


    "Seventh Prince, the Ninth Prince''s team has arrived," a scholar with a smooth face said gently.


    "Hehe. He doesn''t know how high Heaven is or how thick the Earth is." A skinny elder with sharp eyes that seemed able to see through everything spoke. Next to the elder was a middle-aged male radiating an invisible Sword intent from his eyes.


    These two were experts of the Dao of the Sword from the number one sword sect in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty ¨C the Sky Sword Pavilion.


    "Your Highness, Zhao Feng is not simple," Jiang Hao said in a low tone.


    "No matter how unique he is, he''s just a Void God Realm King. Besides, his status as a beast tamer is what''s most important in this stage." The Seventh Prince''s eyes were full of disdain. He didn''t care about what Jiang Hao said at all. If it was the Second and Fifth Princes'' combined forces attacking him, he would need to worry. However, it was just the measly Ninth Prince on his own. He didn''t take it to heart.


    "That''s true." Jiang Hao nodded his head. Back at the Black Wind Canyon, Zhao Feng''s terrifying skills left a deep impression on him, but beast tamers were the most important role in attacking the cities. Zhao Feng was extremely young; no matter how personally powerful he was, how skillful could he be at beast taming?


    "Jiang Hao, don''t worry. I won''t let his spiritual pet get close to this Heaven''s Legacy City. You don''t need to be that scared, do you?" An elder in gray had a confident smile.


    Jiang Hao''s expression became slightly ugly, but he didn''t say anything. Two people in the group that he led to the Black Wind Canyon had died, including Array Master Wu Yu. He and another Quasi-Sacred Lord had to use the array in their Dragon Jades to return to the Seventh Prince''s side. They had heavy losses, and he had lost all face. Therefore, Jiang Hao had lost the right to speak in the Seventh Prince''s team.


    "En, we''ll be relying on Grandmaster Beast Tamer Zhang Yi then," the Seventh Prince said with a smile.


    Zhang Yi slowly walked out from a building and flew to the top of the city wall, then looked at the approaching Ninth Prince''s team playfully. Several hundred fierce beasts in front of the city walls instantly opened their eyes, and a surge of a terrifying beastly aura shot into the air.


    He had prepared most of these in the continent zone. The rest were rare beasts that he had tamed in the Imperial Tombs. Since no one had come to attack the Seventh Prince yet, he hadn''t bought any beasts from the Spiritual Pet Garden.


    "Come. Let me see how talented you are." Zhang Yi''s eyes scanned over the group and finally stopped on Zhao Feng.


    Although he had heard about the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly that Zhao Feng possessed, one spiritual pet couldn''t affect the tide in a fight between beast hordes. Besides, there were many methods he could use to take care of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    The members of the Ninth Prince''s team also looked at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng''s beast taming abilities surprised them, but they didn''t know how good he was at actually controlling them. However, since Zhao Feng was the one to suggest attacking the Seventh Prince, they believed that he at least had some skill.


    Furthermore, the number of beasts he had easily surpassed the number of beasts in front of the Seventh Prince''s gate. This was the main reason the Ninth Prince dared to attack.


    Zhao Feng walked forward and waved his arm, and an ocean of beasts instantly appeared.


    "Hmm? Venomous scorpions, Wind Wolves, and two Sky Shaking Golden Apes. You''ve given me a surprise." Zhang Yi laughed. He could tell that the two beast packs were from the Imperial Tombs.


    Based on the fact that he had tamed two full beast packs, it seemed like the Ninth Prince''s team had put in a lot of effort. However, it would be a dream if they wanted to defeat the Seventh Prince by relying on just these two beast packs and the two Sky Shaking Golden Apes.


    Firstly, there was a big difference in numbers. Secondly, there was a big difference between the beast tamers.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with Zhang Yi. A faint golden glimmer appeared in his left eye. At the same time, he started to circulate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique in the bottom of his soul, and several hundred thoughts merged into the body of each beast.


    Zhao Feng''s mind was completely focused on these beasts. It was as if these beasts were his own limbs.


    "What powerful Soul Intent!" Zhang Yi could feel that Zhao Feng was about to attack. The Soul Intent that Zhao Feng was currently displaying was on par with his own. This made Zhang Yi cautious and wary.


    Hu~ Hu~


    The beasts in front of the city wall started to set a formation.


    "Charge!" Zhao Feng ordered.


    The two Sky Shaking Golden Apes were the first to charge.


    Boom! Boom!


    Although the two Sky Shaking Golden Apes were extremely big, they were rather agile. They were like golden mountains as they crushed forward.


    The Wind Wolves and the venomous scorpions followed closely behind them.


    "Mountain Giants, charge!" Zhang Yi understood the Sky Shaking Golden Apes extremely well. Only the Mountain Giants, which specialized in defense, could be compared to them.


    Bam!


    Four giants clashed.


    "Hmph. Attack the weaknesses!"


    Zhao Feng circulated his left eye and poured more thoughts into the Sky Shaking Golden Ape. He controlled one of the Sky Shaking Golden Apes and made it continuously attack one of the Mountain Giant''s right foot.


    The other Sky Shaking Golden Ape repeatedly attacked the other Mountain Giant''s shoulder.


    "How is this possible? How can Zhao Feng''s Sky Shaking Golden Apes know the weaknesses of my Mountain Giants?" Zhang Yi was stunned. The Mountain Giants had fought with him for many years, so they had hidden injuries. However, how could Zhao Feng''s beasts be so smart?


    Furthermore, the style of these two Sky Shaking Golden Apes was fluid, and they even had traces of using low-levelled techniques.


    Zhang Yi was even suspicious that some Kings or Emperors had taken over the bodies of these Sky Shaking Golden Apes. Their style and battle-instincts were the same as a human.


    The two Mountain Giants were instantly forced back.


    "Black Fur Giant Bears, go help them." Grandmaster Zhang Yi''s expression was slightly ugly. The first beasts he sent out were easily defeated by Zhao Feng''s Sky Shaking Golden Apes.


    Hu~ Hu~


    Two black-furred bears that were more agile than the Mountain Giants charged forward and slashed their black paws downward. These paws were followed by countless sharp gusts of wind.


    "Retreat!" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile and made the Sky Shaking Golden Apes retreat a couple steps and dodge to the side. The paw attacks of the Black Fur Giant Bears scraped by the Sky Shaking Golden Apes'' fur.


    "How is this possible!?" Zhang Yi almost spat out a mouthful of blood. These two Sky Shaking Golden Apes definitely had true sentience for them to be able to dodge those attacks so quickly. Normal beasts couldn''t act like this.


    The Ninth Prince''s team were all dazed as well. When they had captured these two beasts, they were extremely dumb and only knew how to attack wildly.


    "These are the Sky Shaking Golden Apes that we captured?" Shi Yulei touched his head in shock.


    "Zhao Feng probably gave them some unique training." Su Qingling had a stiff expression.


    These two beasts seemed to have their own intelligence and even knew some fighting techniques.

 964 Arrival of Black Robes

    Chapter 964 - Arrival of Black Robes


    "Are my eyes all right?"


    "Zhao Feng''s beasts utterly defeated Zhang Yi''s beasts?"


    "How is that possible? Are Zhao Feng''s beast taming skills really that strong?"


    The combined forces of the Fifth, Twelfth, and Second Princes exclaimed in shock as they used their Divine Senses to see what was happening.


    "This isn''t possible." The Fifth Prince spread his own Divine Sense and saw something that he didn''t believe.


    The Second Prince and the Twelfth Prince had solemn expressions, and they regretted not inviting the Ninth Prince. If they had, they might have already taken over the Eighth Prince''s Heaven''s Legacy City by now.


    Apart from the three princes outside, the other experts inside the Heaven''s Legacy City were also watching what was happening at the Seventh Prince''s side.


    "As I thought." The Eighth Prince gave a helpless smile. Zhao Feng''s display shocked everyone once again.


    "This isn''t possible!" Ji Bai''s face was green. The reason he had been forced to escape by Zhao Feng was because he was a beast tamer, so his individual battle-power was very weak. Once someone got close to him, there was nothing he could do. However, Zhao Feng''s beast taming abilities surpassed him as well?


    The Seventh Prince and his members within the western Heaven''s Legacy City faltered for a moment, but they didn''t say anything. Everyone had solemn expressions as they closely inspected the battle.


    At this moment, Grandmaster Beast Tamer Zhang Yi had calmed down.


    "It must be that brat." Zhang Yi found what the problem was.


    Ever since the start of the fight, Zhao Feng was just standing there, and he didn''t even speak. He must''ve been using some sort of secret technique to directly control the two Sky Shaking Golden Apes. This was why the two beasts were acting so differently, as if they were human.


    "Hmph, I don''t believe that you can control all your beasts at the same level." Zhang Yi snickered coldly. He had heard of such secret techniques before, and they only worked on a small number of beasts.


    Zhang Yi waved his arms and spread his consciousness across the battlefield.


    "Team one, team two ¨C surround the Sky Shaking Golden Apes from both sides. Teams eight, nine, and ten ¨C get ready to block the charge of the venomous scorpions and Wind Wolves."


    Professional beast tamers put similar beasts into teams in order to control them better.


    Zhao Feng gave a faint smile. This was like a game of chess, and he quickly moved his pieces around. A portion of the Wind Wolves immediately blocked the beasts that were going to help the Mountain Giants. At the same time, the venomous scorpions swarmed the city walls and clashed against Zhang Yi''s beasts.


    "What fast reactions!" Cold sweat appeared on Zhang Yi''s forehead. The instant he gave out his orders, Zhao Feng countered with his own beasts.


    The Ninth Prince''s team standing behind Zhao Feng had joyful smiles on their faces as they watched the fight.


    "Zhao Feng is stronger than Zhang Yi." Shi Yulei knew about Grandmaster Beast Tamer Zhang Yi''s fame in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Originally, all he hoped for was for Zhao Feng to be on par with Zhang Yi.


    "Why doesn''t Zhao Feng take out all his beasts right away?" Su Qingling was slightly puzzled.


    They all knew how many beasts Zhao Feng had. He didn''t even need to control all of them; he would be able to overwhelm the Seventh Prince''s city gate with numbers alone.


    "He might be preserving his strength to use it as a surprise later." Old Ying thought for a moment before saying what he thought.


    Although they had the advantage in number, the difference in strength between the battle members was too big. This gap could only be shortened through beasts. Therefore, if Zhao Feng was able to defeat Zhang Yi right now, the remaining beasts could be used to handle the Seventh Prince''s subordinates.


    Hearing Old Ying''s analysis, everyone nodded their heads. The Seventh Prince''s team members couldn''t be ignored. They especially had to pay attention to the two Sword Dao experts from the Sky Sword Pavilion and a Sacred Lord that specialized in the Dao of the Soul. Apart from them, there was also the peerless prodigy Jiang Hao from the Jiang Family. The remaining Quasi-Sacred Lords were also experts that had been famous for a long time now.


    However, no one knew that Zhao Feng was just happily playing around right now. He felt that controlling the entire situation from the back felt pretty good, and it helped him cultivate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    The number of beasts Zhao Feng was controlling right now was precisely five hundred. Although Zhang Yi was controlling seven hundred, Zhao Feng was the one with the advantage.


    "Dammit, what''s going on? Zhao Feng''s beasts are always able to attack through the weaknesses of my formation." Zhang Yi started to feel tired. The reactions of Zhao Feng''s beasts were too fast. He was constantly on the defensive and had to guard against Zhao Feng''s beasts.


    Zhao Feng waved his arm, and fifty Night Wolves appeared. At the same time, fifty thoughts merged into their bodies. These fifty Night Wolves then entered the battle.


    There was a big difference in how Zhao Feng and Zhang Yi controlled their beasts. Zhang Yi was just ordering the beasts around while Zhao Feng was personally entering the battle. Every beast on the battlefield contained part of his consciousness, as if they were one of his doppelgangers.


    "What? He still has more beasts!?" Zhang Yi was stunned, and he immediately concentrated his beasts and focused on defense.


    In a metallic building behind Zhang Yi:


    "I told you that Zhao Feng isn''t simple." Jiang Hao could finally say this with a puffed-out chest. He had warned them beforehand, but Grandmaster Beast Tamer Zhang Yi didn''t put Zhao Feng in his eyes and was now in such a state.


    "Should we go to the Spiritual Pet Garden and buy some powerful beasts?" The Seventh Prince started to panic. He could tell that Zhao Feng''s control over his beasts was extremely strong.


    "Your Highness, there''s no need. It doesn''t matter how many beasts we give Zhang Yi. The key point is how to control them. Unless we buy some Sacred Lord-level beasts, Zhang Yi won''t be Zhao Feng''s match." The scholar''s eyes sparkled as he sensed the fight outside the city.


    He viewed every detail of the battle and analyzed that there was a very big difference between Zhang Yi''s beast taming skills and Zhao Feng''s. If they gave Zhang Yi more beasts and he was unable to control them properly, it would just cause more chaos.


    "Then what should we do?" the Seventh Prince asked urgently.


    "If this continues, we will lose a bunch of our beasts. We should charge out." The scholar told them his plan, and his tone became decisive.


    The two Sword Dao experts instantly opened their eyes, and an invisible ray of Sword Intent appeared that made everyone''s heart go cold.


    "That''s true. How dare a team without any Sacred Lords try to attack us?" A skinny male stood up and radiated a dark and cold aura. When the two people next to him felt this aura, their souls trembled.


    Apart from the two Quasi-Sacred Lords that died earlier and Grandmaster Beast Tamer Zhang Yi, the Seventh Prince still had the scholar, two Sacred Lords, and three Quasi-Sacred Lords in his team. What did the Ninth Prince have for him to attempt this fight?


    "Lu Tianqi, I''ll leave Zhao Feng to you. You just need to make his mental energy become chaotic." The scholar looked at the middle-aged male from the Sky Sword Pavilion.


    "Simple." Lu Tianqi''s words were quick.


    Hu~


    Six experts flew to the top of the city wall.


    "Protect Zhao Feng and the beasts." Old Ying''s expression immediately changed.


    At the same time, the Ninth Prince''s team charged out. Shen Jizi, who was standing at the back, had already prepared an array flag. He threw it, and a faint golden barrier covered Zhao Feng and some of the beasts.


    The Ninth Prince''s team had already made their preparations; they weren''t going to clash with the Seventh Prince''s team head-on. They were going to stall the opponent''s experts and wait for Zhao Feng''s beasts to gain the upper hand, then attack the Seventh Prince''s team members together.


    "If all of you are in such a rush, then let''s just end it here." Zhao Feng stopped fooling around and waved his right hand.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Five golden figures like small metallic mountains appeared on the battlefield and created a wave of a fierce beastly aura.


    "What? There''s even more Sky Shaking Golden Apes?" Zhang Yi''s expression changed dramatically. Zhao Feng was holding back this whole time?


    One had to know that the Sky Shaking Golden Ape was a peak Emperor-level beast, and in this ancient dimension, their battle-power was even stronger than normal Quasi-Sacred Lords.


    "How is this possible!?" The scholar was also stunned.


    This meant that the situation was going to become rather chaotic. Even if they attacked with all their power, they might not be able to gain the upper hand.


    The scholar gave a deep glance at Zhao Feng. Holding onto hidden cards and using it to catch the opponent off guard had special effects. Did Zhao Feng still have anything left up his sleeve? They just didn''t know.


    "Hmph, let me handle these five Sky Shaking Golden Apes." A skinny elder slowly stepped forward, and invisible Sword Intent flashed around him.


    "Thank you, Sacred Lord Sharp Edge." The scholar felt lucky that their team had two Sacred Lords. One was Sacred Lord Sharp Edge, who specialized in physical attacks, while the other was Sacred Lord Dark Soul.


    Hu~~


    Sacred Lord Sharp Edge stepped out and slashed his long white jade sword, creating waves of Sword Qi.


    The pressure of a Sacred Lord''s appearance made the battle-power of Zhao Feng''s beast horde decrease dramatically.


    Four members that specialized in battle charged out as well.


    Sacred Lord Sharp Edge suddenly lifted his sword, and countless waves of Sword Qi formed a tornado. However, Sacred Lord Sharp Edge didn''t unleash the attack, and the other four members stopped as well.


    Whoosh!


    A black figure floated toward them from the distance. A terrifying aura of Death radiated from the black figure. Even though he was so far away, everyone felt their souls shake.


    "A member from the Thirteenth Prince''s team?" Sacred Lord Dark Soul from the Seventh Prince''s team had a grim expression. This terrifying aura caused even him to hesitate.


    "It''s him?" Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed.


    Before the Crown Prince trial started, this person had attacked him. Zhao Feng also saw some of what happened when he was just about to enter the Imperial Tombs, so he knew that this black-robed person wasn''t simple. He also felt the enmity from this black-robed person in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground.


    This black-robed person was now going to interfere in the fight between the Seventh and Ninth Princes. His aim was very obvious ¨C Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng!" The black-robed person was like a ghost as he descended onto the battlefield. The terrifying Intent of Death made the beasts below tremble as their lifeforce was drained.


    The five members from the Seventh Prince''s side instantly retreated.


    "Who is this person?" Sacred Lord Sharp Edge had a grim expression. In an instant, several years of his lifeforce had been lost.

 965 Scythe of Death

    Chapter 965 - Scythe of Death


    At the same time, the three others that arrived with the black-robed person went straight for the Heaven''s Legacy City in the south after seeing the black-robed person head toward the battlefield between the Ninth and Seventh Princes.


    "Thirteenth Prince, we''re back."


    "Your Highness, there seems to be a problem with this black-robed person."


    "He''s actually going to interfere in the battle between two princes?"


    The three people in the black-robed person''s group told the Thirteenth Prince about the black-robed person''s weird actions.


    "Thirteenth Prince, who is this person?" Sacred Lord Black Ink had a grim expression. Even he didn''t want to offend the black-robed person, who was radiating an aura of Death.


    "There''s no need to worry about him." A wicked smile appeared on the Thirteenth Prince''s face.


    With the black-robed person''s strength, he didn''t need to be scared of the Ninth Prince''s team, and numbers were of no use against him.


    This was the deal between the black-robed person and the Thirteenth Prince. The latter wouldn''t restrict the former''s freedom after entering the Imperial Tombs and would help kill Zhao Feng for him.


    At this moment, outside the Seventh Prince''s city, the originally-intense fight instantly died down. The Intent of Death that this black-robed person was radiating was extremely deadly to the beasts below.


    "May I know who you are?" the scholar''s voice sounded. The feeling that this black-robed person gave him was extremely weird and horrible.


    "It''s not good for you to enter the battlefield like this." A Quasi-Sacred Lord that was just about to take action had a grim expression.


    "Don''t think that we won''t attack you just because you''re from the Thirteenth Prince''s team!" Zhang Yi roared. The Intent of Death that was radiating from this black-robed person was deadly to the beasts he controlled.


    The Ninth Prince''s team also immediately stopped. They had witnessed his strength during the fights for the positions. Even Old Ying, who specialized in the Dao of the Soul and had strong battle-power, didn''t dare to attack the black-robed person, who had such powerful soul attacks. None of them dared to do anything rash to the black-robed person before they knew what was going on.


    "Zhao Feng, I didn''t expect you to still be alive." The black-robed person completely ignored everyone from the Seventh Prince''s team and looked at Zhao Feng.


    "You are¡­!" Zhao Feng''s expression was ugly, and killing intent appeared in his eyes. He originally felt like this black-robed person''s aura was extremely familiar, and he also controlled the laws of Death.


    The first words this black-robed person said to him were, "I didn''t expect you to still be alive." Zhao Feng could only think of the person who forced him to start re-cultivating ¨C the Emperor of Death.


    But that was impossible. The Emperor of Death paid the price of death to use the Cursed Words of Death on Zhao Feng. Since the Cursed Words of Death were successfully activated, how could the Emperor of Death still be alive?


    Hearing the black-robed person''s tone, the expressions of the Seventh Prince''s team softened a little bit. From the looks of it, the black-robed person was here for Zhao Feng. Even if he was a member of the Thirteenth Prince''s team, that didn''t matter anymore.


    The black-robed person''s laws of Death were extremely deadly against beings with lower cultivation. If the black-robed person was willing to help them, then they wouldn''t need to be scared of Zhao Feng''s beast horde anymore.


    "Scythe of Death!"


    An undulation of Death-Soul power appeared around the black-robed person, and a scythe surrounded by black mist appeared in his hand. It seemed to have the ability to slice through all Death and Yin Yuan Qi in Heaven and Earth.


    The instant the scythe of death appeared, a powerful Soul disturbance was released, and it made everyone''s soul tremble.


    "What a powerful Intent of Death and Soul!" Sacred Lord Sharp Edge exclaimed. He had never seen anyone with such strong Intent of Death.


    "Not good!" Zhao Feng''s expression became grim. He waved his left hand and instantly put all the beasts into the Misty Spatial World.


    The black-robed person waved the Scythe of Death and slashed it at Zhao Feng. A black crescent moon made of condensed Death-Soul power and an air of Yin instantly shot at him.


    Shu~~ Shua! Shua!


    Shen Jizi''s defensive array blocked the physical component of the black crescent moon, but the Death-Soul attack passed through it.


    "Retreat!" While Zhao Feng retreated, he sent a surge of Wind Lightning toward the members of the Ninth Prince''s team and pushed them back.


    The black-robed person''s Scythe of Death left a black chasm in the ground when it hit, destroying the lifeforce of the nearby vegetation.


    Zhao Feng and the other members of the Ninth Prince''s team managed to dodge the Scythe of Death. After all, Zhao Feng was extremely familiar with this attack.


    However, Zhang Yi wasn''t so lucky. The black-robed person''s Scythe of Death had a huge range, and part of the attack landed on his beast horde. Several dozen King-level beasts had their lifeforce and soul sucked out, instantly killing them.


    "You¡­! What is the meaning of this!?" Zhang Yi roared in anger. This was the territory of the Seventh Prince, but the black-robed person came over in such an arrogant manner and didn''t even hold back on his attacks, killing his beasts as well.


    The laws of Death were extremely damaging to life, and King-level beasts that had a lower state of existence couldn''t fight back against this power at all.


    The black-robed person''s attack made the expressions of the Ninth Prince''s team turn ugly, and their hearts became heavy. The black-robed person attacked Zhao Feng as soon as he arrived, and his power was deadly to beasts.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng foresaw that and put away his beasts in time, or else the casualties would have been big. However, the situation right now wasn''t much better. Although the black-robed person was only a Quasi-Sacred Lord, his laws of Death countered most powers. On top of that, he specialized in the soul, which made everyone feel troubled.


    "Zhao Feng, who is this person?" Old Ying immediately messaged Zhao Feng. It was obvious that the black-robed person was here for Zhao Feng. The black-robed person completely ignored the Seventh Prince''s team, and Old Ying obviously wouldn''t ask the black-robed person.


    "He might be an enemy from the past." Zhao Feng took a deep breath. The power of Death that this black-robed person controlled was countless times stronger than the Emperor of Death from back then, but the feeling this black-robed person gave Zhao Feng was that he was the Emperor of Death.


    "What?" Old Ying was stunned. An enemy from Zhao Feng''s past meant someone before Zhao Feng started to re-cultivate. How could Zhao Feng have offended such a strong enemy before he started re-cultivating?


    "Get away from this person. His laws of Death are too strong, and he specializes in soul attacks," Zhao Feng messaged everyone in the Ninth Prince''s team. The power of Death wasn''t something to be played around with.


    "En." Shi Yulei looked at the black-robed person. Although the Shi Family bloodline specialized in defense, it could only defend against the black-robed person''s physical attacks. However, the black-robed person''s attacks were mainly soul-based. Shi Yulei''s weakness was the soul. He was only a Quasi-Sacred Lord as well, so he didn''t dare to do anything.


    Su Qingling''s forte was the soul, but her cultivation was too low. Zhou Su''er, Jing Kai, and company had no ability to fight back at all. The members of the Ninth Prince''s team slowly retreated.


    "I will only kill Zhao Feng. The rest of you can fuck off." The black-robed person''s eyes were trained on Zhao Feng, and his voice sounded in everyone''s soul.


    "Friend, since your enemy is Zhao Feng, why don''t we team up?" The scholar had a faint smile. The enemy of an enemy was a friend. As long as the black-robed person took care of Zhao Feng, the Ninth Prince''s team wouldn''t have any beasts, and they could do nothing.


    "Hahaha!" The black-robed person laughed, and a black mist started to spread from his body. When one looked at him, he was like the God of Death ¨C terrifying and deadly.


    Hu~~


    The black-robed person didn''t reply to the scholar, he simply charged at Zhao Feng as he poured more soul-power into the Scythe of Death.


    "All of you attack as well," the scholar immediately messaged. The members of the Seventh Prince''s team instantly charged out.


    "Retreat!" Old Ying roared as he saw the members of the Seventh Prince''s team about to take action.


    All the members of the Ninth Prince''s team, including Zhao Feng, started to retreat, leaving the perimeter of the Seventh Prince''s city. At this moment, Zhao Feng''s beasts were countered by the black-robed person, so they couldn''t attack the city.


    At least if they retreated, not all of the Seventh Prince''s team members would chase after them since they had to guard the city. If most of their members left, then the other three princes would take over the city.


    "Zhao Feng, are you scared now?" The black-robed person laughed and chased after Zhao Feng. The terrifying aura of Death covered the hearts of the Ninth Prince''s team.


    "Do we chase after them or not?" Sacred Lord Dark Soul asked. The Ninth Prince''s team had retreated.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Soul, you go after them. With the black-robed person''s strength and your strength combined, you shouldn''t need to worry about the Ninth Prince''s team." The scholar thought for a while before saying.


    After Sacred Lord Dark Soul left, the Seventh Prince''s team still had one Sacred Lord remaining. Even if the other three princes came to attack them, they wouldn''t be instantly defeated. If Zhang Yi''s beasts hadn''t had such casualties, then they could have sent another person out as well.


    "Okay." Sacred Lord Dark Soul turned into a dark streak of light and left the city.


    "You are the Emperor of Death?" Zhao Feng asked for the first time with an ugly expression.


    Hearing this, Su Qingling, Jing Kai, and Zhou Su''er were stunned. They had heard of the Emperor of Death before; this was an ancient Emperor that had the Eye of Death. Had his strength reached such a level already? However, Old Ying, the Ninth Prince, and a few others knew that the true Emperor of Death had already been killed by Zhao Feng.


    "I am the person that is going to kill you!" The black-robed person waved the Scythe of Death and sent a black crescent moon toward the Ninth Prince''s team.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!" Zhao Feng immediately circulated the Sacred Lightning Body. Golden lightning started to flash around him as he circulated his Fire of Wind Lightning and punched out with his fists.


    The power of Destruction contained within the God Tribulation Lightning in Zhao Feng''s Fire of Wind Lightning was a terrifying power on the same level as the power of Death.


    Boom! Bam!


    Zhao Feng''s golden punches broke through the black-robed person''s physical attack. However, in the dark golden storm, a faint crescent moon slashed over. This was a soul attack, and it wasn''t affected by physical attacks.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng was ready for this. He released a surge of Soul Intent containing the power of God Tribulation Lightning, which shattered the crescent moon.


    "This is your Soul Intent?" The black-robed person was surprised. Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent just now had exceeded the level of Quasi-Sacred Lords.


    "As I thought. I can''t underestimate you, Zhao Feng." The black-robed person had a cold voice.


    "Zhao Feng, not good! Sacred Lord Dark Soul from the Seventh Prince''s team has come over as well!" Old Ying''s heart shook when he saw a dark beam of light flying over from the distance.

 966 True Face

    Chapter 966 - True Face


    Everything that happened outside the Seventh Prince''s city was obviously seen by the experts in the other three Heaven''s Legacy Cities and the three princes outside. They weren''t too far away, and the laws of Death from the black-robed person shook the hearts of countless experts.


    Due to the appearance of the black-robed person, the Ninth Prince''s advantage was instantly destroyed, and they had to retreat. If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng put away his beasts in time, normal King-level beasts would have been instantly killed by the power of Death.


    "This black-robed person is too terrifying!" The three princes'' forces outside were silent before an Emperor exclaimed.


    "You can only blame that Zhao Feng made too many enemies." Xue Yuan started to gloat. The strength that the black-robed person displayed made even the two Sacred Lords of the Seventh Prince''s team extremely wary. This meant that Zhao Feng would definitely die.


    "Luckily, we didn''t invite the Ninth Prince." The Second Prince felt lucky. It was obvious that the black-robed person''s target was Zhao Feng, and his laws of Death were too strong. They countered all living things, especially souls. Any shockwave of power contained unimaginable power.


    On the wall of the Eighth Prince''s city:


    "Who is that black-robed person?" Yu Lenghua murmured. Even Sacred Lords didn''t dare to be arrogant against the black-robed person who controlled the laws of Death.


    "The Emperor of Death should be dead." The Eighth Prince and Luo Zun were stunned. To be able to control such strong power of Death, they could only think of the Emperor of Death, who had the Eye of Death.


    "Zhao Feng won''t lose." Yu Tianhao looked at the Ninth Prince''s team and the black-robed person who were moving into the distance.


    Apart from everyone in the Imperial Tombs being shocked at the black-robed person''s strength, everyone in the Imperial Palace was also stunned.


    "Zhao Feng, not good! Sacred Lord Dark Soul from the Seventh Prince''s team has come over as well!" Old Ying''s heart shook when he saw a dark beam of light flying over from the distance. At the same time, his sole eye locked onto the black-robed person, and his expression changed.


    They all left the Seventh Prince''s Heaven''s Legacy City, but this black-robed person was still chasing after them. One had to know that the Ninth Prince''s team had eight people. Even though they might not be strong individually, they could easily finish off the black-robed person if they teamed up.


    However, the black-robed person looked as if he wasn''t scared, and he completely ignored everyone else apart from Zhao Feng. He most likely had a hidden card that could allow him to ignore the other members of the Ninth Prince''s team.


    Hu~


    A pair of Scarlet Wings of Lightning spread behind Zhao Feng''s back.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng turned into a streak of scarlet lightning and split away from the Ninth Prince''s team, moving several miles away. At the same time, Zhao Feng''s voice sounded in the minds of the Ninth Prince''s team members, "I''ll leave Sacred Lord Dark Soul to you."


    "Okay." The Ninth Prince and his team agreed. From their point of view, the black-robed person was even stronger than Sacred Lord Dark Soul, especially since he controlled the power of Death and they had nothing to counter it.


    Old Ying knew what Zhao Feng meant; they couldn''t let the black-robed person and Sacred Lord Dark Soul team up.


    The seven of them were enough to stop Sacred Lord Dark Soul. They just hoped that no accidents would happen to Zhao Feng.


    Hu~~


    "Death Instant Shadow!" The black-robed person turned into a dark beam of light and quickly followed after Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, you won''t be able to escape." The black-robed person''s ghastly voice was like maggots that were stuck in one''s bone as it sounded behind Zhao Feng''s back.


    Zhao Feng''s heart felt heavy. The Death Instant Shadow was a technique that the Emperor of Death used in the past as well, but the black-robed person''s cultivation had reached the Quasi-Sacred Lord-level, and his laws of Death were even stronger.


    Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to escape even if he used the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash.


    "Hmph. Who said I was going to run away?" Zhao Feng only left the Ninth Prince''s group so that the black-robed person and Sacred Lord Dark Soul wouldn''t be able to team up. Furthermore, he would kill the black-robed person no matter what his true identity was.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng suddenly stopped and looked at the black-robed person with fiery eyes.


    "Hmph, just like the past. You don''t know what life and death are." The black-robed person laughed coldly as his Intent of Death covered Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    The Blood Devil Sun bloodline within Zhao Feng''s body started to burn, and a glass-like fire covered his body. At the same time, a terrifying surge of fire burned through the Intent of Death nearby.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng turned into a ball of fire and lightning and shot toward the black-robed person.


    He first had find out the true face of this black-robed person. Right now, he was only guessing that he was the Emperor of Death.


    "Oh? You seem to have obtained a decent bloodline," the black-robed person said.


    The perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline was ranked within the top ten among Imperial Dao Bloodlines and the black-robed person could obviously feel this, but he acted like he still didn''t care.


    Ding! Bam!


    Zhao Feng, who was surrounded by scarlet-red lightning, clashed with the black-robed person''s Scythe of Death.


    Hu~~


    The perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline instantly ignited the black-robed person, but the red flames were soon extinguished by a surge of Death Intent.


    The Intent of Death killed everything. Even strong fires would eventually die out.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes focused. He had expected this much. If his Sacred Lightning Body had reached the 6th level, the ignition effect of the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline probably wouldn''t be countered so much.


    However, Zhao Feng was very surprised by one point ¨C the lifesteal effect of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline didn''t seem to work very much.


    In the instant just now, Zhao Feng''s perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline didn''t manage to absorb any blood essence from the black-robed person''s body. Only a part of his Yuan Qi was absorbed.


    When Zhao Feng got too close to the black-robed person, the lifeforce within his body was eroded by the Intent of Death.


    "What a powerful body! And this power of Lightning¡­" The black-robed person was slightly surprised. This power of Lightning seemed like it could resist his Intent of Death.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly and circulated his Sacred Lightning Body. At the same time, he completely released his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline and threw out a scarlet fist of lightning.


    Zhao Feng wasn''t dumb. Why would he fight against the black-robed person head-on when he controlled the Intent of Death?


    He had merged large amounts of ancient lightning from the Ancient Dream Realm into his Sacred Lightning Body, and this ancient lightning was able to fight back against the Intent of Death to a certain degree.


    However, Zhao Feng could still feel the lifeforce within his body start to fade away. From this, one could see how terrifying the Intent of Death was.


    "Hmph. Zhao Feng, you will die today."


    Zhao Feng''s countless methods seemed to make the black-robed person remember something, and he harrumphed in anger. The Intent of Death started to form a field of darkness.


    "Death Force Field!"


    The power of Death within the field was like black ink as it killed all lifeforce within it. Even the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was forcefully absorbed.


    The instant the Death Force Field appeared, Zhao Feng felt his lifeforce flowing away even faster.


    Boom! Beng!


    The Death Force Field restricted the release of Zhao Feng''s perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, and it unleashed a wave of repulsion.


    Zhao Feng had an ugly expression. The Death Force Field was also a secret technique of the Emperor of Death.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng used the Scarlet Wings of Lightning to retreat.


    Hu~


    A surge of terrifying Death Intent landed where Zhao Feng was just standing, engulfing the area.


    "Zhao Feng, die!"


    Even-stronger Intent of Death appeared around the black-robed person''s body like evil ghosts floating in the air. All the lifeforce and Yuan Qi within several miles were devoured and entered the black-robed person''s Scythe of Death.


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed as he maintained his distance from the black-robed person. The lifeforce within Zhao Feng''s body started to fade away even faster facing such strong Intent of Death. If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng''s left eye had evolved and he now had a God Tribulation Lightning Soul Body, even his soul might have withered against this power.


    At this point, the power that the black-robed person was displaying had easily surpassed normal Sacred Lords, and it countered the soul. Even Sacred Lord Sharp Edge didn''t dare to get close.


    Boom! Hu~


    The black-robed person slashed forward with the Scythe of Death, and a black crescent moon several dozen yards long swept toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same as an ancient and desolate chaotic power of Lightning radiated from him and merged into the air.


    This was the first time he was using his Little World to fight.


    "A Little World that can merge with this ancient dimension?" The black-robed person was slightly surprised. One had to know that even his Little World wasn''t able to merge into this dimension. At the most, he could only use it protect himself; it had the same effect as the Death Force Field.


    The black-robed person''s power was slightly suppressed by Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning.


    Hu~


    The black-robed person''s attack was weakened due to Zhao Feng''s Little World, but the black crescent moon still took away part of the lifeforce within his body.


    "Dammit, at this rate, the Sacred Lightning Body and the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline will start to weaken." Zhao Feng felt troubled for the first time.


    Back then, the Emperor of Death''s Intent of Death mostly just countered the soul, and Zhao Feng was able to resist it and kill the Emperor of Death by relying on his God Eye. However, the Intent of Death that this black-robed person gave off countered both the soul and the physical world.


    If this continued, Zhao Feng probably wouldn''t even be able to maintain his Sacred Lightning Body. Decisiveness flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    "Blood Devil Charge!"


    Zhao Feng circulated his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline to the maximum as the lifeforce within his body quickly faded away. The glass-like flames around Zhao Feng''s body expanded, and the sound of crackling flames could be heard. The image of a blood-red sun with a spinning whirlpool in the middle appeared behind him.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng flew into the air and used the Blood Devil Charge, and he used the wings to propel himself downward. With the addition of his Little World, this was his strongest attack. He was like a flaming meteor, and he gave off a terrifying pressure of Fire and Lightning as he charged toward the black-robed person in the center of the Death Force Field.


    This attack was Zhao Feng''s strongest attack yet.


    "This attack will reveal your true face."

 967 Samsara Immortal Body

    Chapter 967 - Samsara Immortal Body


    "This attack will reveal your true face."


    This was the strongest attack Zhao Feng had ever unleashed. It contained the Fire of Wind Lightning, the Sacred Lightning Body, the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, the Blood Devil Charge, the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, and some other techniques.


    Whoosh!


    At this moment, Zhao Feng turned into a blazing flash of lightning and descended directly in front of the black-robed person. His terrifying physical force completely ignored the laws and Intents of the black-robed person''s Death Force Field as he punched forward.


    "Zhao Feng, did you give up on the God Eye and choose body-strengthening after re-cultivating?" The black-robed person laughed coldly and spoke in a ghastly voice when Zhao Feng''s fist was only a few centimeters away from his body.


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically. He could still hear what the black-robed person said even though the force of his punch covered everything.


    Zhao Feng was even more sure of the black-robed person''s identity from this sentence. However, what truly stunned Zhao Feng wasn''t what the black-robed person said, but the black-robed person himself; he was able to stand there in the face of Zhao Feng''s punch. The black-robed person didn''t even react at all, as if he had given up. This made Zhao Feng feel that something was off.


    Boom!


    The black-robed person''s body was engulfed by Zhao Feng''s attack, and his body was blasted apart by the terrifying attack of fire and lightning.


    The black-robed person''s Yuan Soul remained standing in the air. After all, the attack Zhao Feng just unleashed was a purely physical attack.


    However, a forbidden undulation of Death energy came from behind him and caused Zhao Feng''s soul to shake.


    After bashing the black-robed person''s body into pieces, Zhao Feng immediately used the Scarlet Wings of Lightning to stabilize himself and turn around. Countless runes and talismans filled the half-transparent black soul, making it look fierce and terrifying. There was a pair of black eyes in the head of the soul. Within the eyes was an everlasting whirlpool that seemed to lead to the endless abyss of death.


    "Eyes of Death!" Zhao Feng immediately called out.


    The appearance of this Yuan Soul was also extremely similar to the Emperor of Death. But how could this possibly be the Emperor of Death?


    Zhao Feng started to panic after seeing this. The Emperor of Death used his life as the price to activate the Cursed Words of Death. How could he still be alive and still have the Eyes of Death?


    "Dark Eye Death Flames!"


    Limitless power of Death shot out from the black eyes in the Emperor of Death''s Yuan Soul and turned into a black streak of light that caught Zhao Feng off guard and hit him head-on. Zhao Feng''s body went cold as he felt the danger of death in his soul and body.


    Hu~~


    The Dark Eye Death Flames started to fight against Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body and Blood Devil Sun bloodline. At the same time, a black fire started to burn in Zhao Feng''s soul. This fire contained the laws of Death that made everything slowly wither and decay.


    Boom!


    More than two thousand symbols of God Tribulation Lightning flashed in Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body.


    Zhao Feng''s soul contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning, which could be used to refine the soul at any moment. Zhao Feng had even managed to use his Lightning Soul Body to absorb the power of the ancient lightning. However, the Dark Eye Death Flames that the Emperor of Death used wasn''t on the same level as the past, and it gave Zhao Feng the feeling that he was aging.


    Hu~


    Countless flashes of lightning intertwined with the wave of black flames, and they started to erode each another. On one side was Death, and on the other side was Destruction. Both were terrifying forces.


    Hu~


    The God Tribulation Lightning completely destroyed the last wave of black flames. After all, this was just one attack from the Emperor of Death whereas Zhao Feng''s soul contained all of his power.


    However, not every inch of Zhao Feng''s soul had the power of God Tribulation Lightning imprinted in it. The power of the Dark Eye Death Flames covered everything, and some of it managed to touch Zhao Feng''s soul.


    "The lifespan of my soul has decreased!" Zhao Feng was stunned. The Emperor of Death''s soul technique was destroyed by his God Tribulation Lightning, but the laws of Death still managed to touch his Lightning Soul Body.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng''s soul had reached the level of a Sacred Lord. The stronger one''s soul was, the more resilient it was against soul attacks. Zhao Feng''s resilience surpassed beginning-stage Sacred Lords who specialized in the soul.


    This meant that, if it was a normal Sacred Lord taking the Emperor of Death''s attack head-on instead of Zhao Feng, their soul lifespan would decrease by at least a thousand years, depending on their soul-strength.


    The wisp of black flames that landed on Zhao Feng''s body also stole part of his lifeforce.


    "Your soul¡­!"


    Zhao Feng wasn''t the only one stunned; the Emperor of Death also revealed a shocked expression.


    Ever since the start of the battle, Zhao Feng only used physical attacks. This made the Emperor of Death think that the growth of Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was slow after he took a different body. However, even after using his new laws of Death that he had learned, the Emperor of Death''s forbidden eye-bloodline technique was still blocked by Zhao Feng. This meant that Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was on par with his own. Both had reached the level of Sacred Lords.


    "It seems like I have underestimated you once again. You''re not even an Emperor yet, but you already have the Soul Intent of someone at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm. As expected of the owner of a God Eye." The Emperor of Death''s Yuan Soul let out a cold laugh instead of feeling regretful.


    "Emperor of Death, how are you still alive?" Zhao Feng stared at the Emperor of Death''s Yuan Soul and questioned.


    Hu~~


    Countless black dust particles around the Emperor of Death started to gather and form skin, flesh, and bones. At the end was a completely black-robed body, which then covered the Emperor of Death''s Yuan Soul.


    "This is¡­" Zhao Feng''s left eye saw that the dust and body parts he destroyed had returned to their original form, as if time had moved backward.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng felt an indescribable, terrifying, and irresistible Intent from the black-robed body. This power was similar to Time, Death, and Destruction; it was one of the ultimate Intents of Heaven and Earth.


    "Who said that I''m alive?" The Emperor of Death didn''t reply to Zhao Feng''s question and revealed a smug expression. He liked seeing the shock and panic that Zhao Feng revealed.


    Zhao Feng wanted to curse after hearing the Emperor of Death''s response, but he didn''t say anything. All his attention was completely on the Emperor of Death''s body.


    The Emperor of Death''s body was extremely weird; it was even stronger than the Immortal Death Body. It had reached an incredulous level.


    The Immortal Death Body had an undying attribute. In theory, there was no weaknesses in terms of survivability. However, once the body was destroyed, the soul would gradually weaken on its own. This was the reason why the Emperor of Death tried to find a body after self-destructing.


    However, even after getting decimated by Zhao Feng''s ultimate attack, the Emperor of Death''s body just recovered like nothing happened. Zhao Feng had never heard of an immortal and undying body like this.


    This meant that, if Zhao Feng wanted to kill the Emperor of Death, he had to kill the Emperor of Death''s soul since his body could just recover to its original state even if it was broken into bits.


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something else too ¨C the Cursed Words of Death. If he killed the Emperor of Death once more, would he activate the Cursed Words of Death on Zhao Feng again?


    Zhao Feng started to become wary and his gaze moved back and forth.


    No.


    Zhao Feng finally realized what was wrong. If the Emperor of Death could use the Cursed Words of Death more than once, then he wouldn''t have been killed and forced to re-cultivate multiple times in the past. If he could, then the Emperor of Death would have been famous for having the ability to kill Sacred Lords very easily, but Zhao Feng had never heard of any news about the Cursed Words of Death when he was in the True Martial Sacred Land.


    "Hmph, I don''t believe that you can use the Cursed Words of Death again." Zhao Feng''s heart was as clear as a mirror, and he cleared out all the fear of the Cursed Words of Death.


    "It doesn''t matter whether you''re alive or not. I''ll just kill you again or die trying." Zhao Feng''s soul was clear, and the power of his soul became purer and stronger. His willpower was unchanged.


    Hearing what Zhao Feng said, the Emperor of Death''s eyes became disappointed and helpless, but they were soon replaced by limitless anger and hatred.


    "Zhao Feng, I told you that I will make you beg for death for eternity!" the Emperor of Death roared in anger.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng circulated his Soul Intent, and his left eye flashed with a faint golden color. At the same time, he poured his soul power into his left eye.


    A stunning fire surrounded by purple-and-gold light instantly shot out from Zhao Feng''s left eye. The faint glimmer of God Tribulation Lightning could be seen in the gold-and-purple glow. Why would Zhao Feng just stand there and not counterattack after being hit by the Emperor of Death''s Dark Eye Death Flames?


    Whoosh~~~~!


    A ball of transparent gold-and-purple lightning-fire with an aura of Destruction landed on the Emperor of Death''s face.


    Since Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had reached the level of Sacred Lords and he was using a secret eye-bloodline technique that contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning, he could threaten the souls of early-stage Sacred Lords.


    This was the first Zhao Feng was using his eye-bloodline techniques at full force after entering the Imperial Tombs. Everyone he had met so far were either too weak or didn''t need to be killed.


    "Arghhh~~~~!" The Emperor of Death screamed as the gold-and-purple lightning-fire and the power of God Tribulation Lightning ravaged his body. At the same time, the Emperor of Death''s soul ¨C which was filled with mysterious marks and symbols ¨C was bombarded by the countless flames of lightning.


    Zhao Feng lost part of his lifeforce and his soul lifespan to the Emperor of Death''s laws of Death. However, Zhao Feng also dealt unrecoverable damage to the Emperor of Death''s soul.


    Hu~ Hu~


    The Emperor of Death''s body was destroyed by the power of fire and lightning, but it soon started to recover once more. However, this time, Zhao Feng could see that there were some scorch marks on the Emperor of Death''s black robes.


    A light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes; "As I thought, the power of God Tribulation Lightning is still effective against you."


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve gotten too full of yourself. I will show you a brand-new Intent of Death and the ultimate eye-bloodline techniques of Death." The Emperor of Death''s black eyes twinkled with hatred. However, he could just see the scene of Zhao Feng dying to his ultimate eye-bloodline techniques of Death.


    While Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death were fighting, the figures of Old Ying and Shi Yulei appeared in the distance.


    Old Ying was filled with shock when he saw the black-robed person''s body recovering after being destroyed so thoroughly. His expression changed dramatically and he immediately called out, "Zhao Feng, watch out! The Emperor of Death now has a Samsara Immortal Body!"

 968 Samsara of Death

    Chapter 968 - Samsara of Death


    "I didn''t think there would be someone here that recognized the Samsara Immortal Body." The Emperor of Death glanced at Old Ying in the distance before completely ignoring him.


    "Samsara Immortal Body!?" Zhao Feng exclaimed before starting to think.


    The moment he destroyed the Emperor of Death''s body, he realized that it wasn''t the Emperor of Death''s original body. The mysterious power from the black-robed body made Zhao Feng think about the Eight Great God Eyes.


    Only the Emperor of Death''s soul had been "revived."


    "Eye of Samsara!"


    With this evidence and Old Ying''s words, Zhao Feng could only think of this unique eye among the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    He wasn''t too sure about the abilities of the Eye of Samsara, but Zhao Feng was certain that the Emperor of Death''s immortal and undying body was related to Eye of Samsara. The Emperor of Death had been stuck at the Void God Realm for several thousand years. Even if he was reborn or something, Zhao Feng didn''t believe that the Emperor of Death would be able to suddenly become a Quasi-Sacred Lord after only several years.


    "Zhao Feng, you were the one that made me like this!" After his true identity was revealed, the Emperor of Death released an angry roar, and the power of Death radiated from his body.


    "I didn''t want you to become like this. I just wanted you to die." Zhao Feng looked at the Emperor of Death coldly. That was what he truly wished for.


    However, Zhao Feng could feel pain in the Emperor of Death''s words. Why would there be pain if he was lucky enough to revive and obtain a Quasi-Sacred Lord-level immortal body?


    Zhao Feng couldn''t imagine the price that the Emperor of Death had to pay to "revive." This price was most likely even more painful than death.


    Zhao Feng believed that a price was necessary to obtain power. An example was Nan Gongsheng obtaining the power of the Evil God. If his heart and mind weren''t strong enough, he might have been demonized, which would have meant the true Nan Gongsheng''s death.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng looked at the Emperor of Death. If he could kill the Emperor of Death once, then he could kill him again.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng activated his left eye and used the Wind Lightning Eye Flame once again. This was the eye-bloodline technique with the biggest effect on the Emperor of Death. The power of God Tribulation Lightning contained within it was effective against the Emperor of Death''s body and soul.


    "Arghhhh~~~~! Zhao Feng, it''s useless!" The Emperor of Death howled as he bore Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "It''s not just my body that''s immortal ¨C my soul is as well." The Emperor of Death''s cold laughter sounded.


    Zhao Feng''s heart jumped and his eyebrows locked together, but he didn''t respond to the Emperor of Death.


    The scorch marks on the Emperor of Death''s black robes hadn''t recovered yet. He could also feel that the damage to the Emperor of Death''s soul hadn''t recovered either. Why would the Emperor of Death say that his soul was immortal as well? How could that be possible? It was utterly ridiculous.


    "Zhao Feng, the soul of anyone with a Samsara Immortal Body is indeed immortal," Old Ying''s voice sounded from the distance.


    Zhao Feng almost fell over. Even Old Ying said that too? How could that be possible?


    "Even if you destroy his soul today, the Emperor of Death will still be able to crawl out from the Samsara of Death." Old Ying''s voice was trembling as he looked at the Emperor of Death.


    "Old Ying? Are you sure you''ve remembered correctly? How is that possible?" Shi Yulei couldn''t believe it, and his body shook when he looked at the Emperor of Death.


    Both the body and soul were immortal? How was that possible? Was this the ability of the Eye of Samsara? That would be too incredible.


    "Shi Yulei, you''ve understood it wrong." Old Ying sighed before looking at the Emperor of Death sadly. "The soul of someone that has entered the Samsara of Death can never be reincarnated. They can''t die even if they want to. All they can do is travel across the borders of Samsara. The body that the Emperor of Death currently has was created by the Eye of Samsara. He can''t even take over another body." Old Ying had a solemn expression as he slowly told them an old piece of information.


    "That¡­!!?" Shi Yulei''s heart jumped when he heard this. The Emperor of Death couldn''t die even if he wished to. He would never able to be able to rest in peace or be reincarnated. All he could do was travel across the borders of Samsara.


    Zhao Feng obviously heard what Old Ying said as well and was utterly shocked. He never would have thought that the price would be so big. This meant that the Emperor of Death''s soul was indeed immortal, which also meant that the Cursed Words of Death definitely couldn''t be used anymore. If one couldn''t even die, how were they supposed to activate the Cursed Words of Death?


    "The potential of someone that enters the Samsara of Death is reduced dramatically. The Emperor of Death is just lucky that he has the Eyes of Death and managed to comprehend something by dying. However, this is as far as he goes." Old Ying was also stunned. Probably only the owner of the Eyes of Death had the ability to improve by dying.


    However, even though this was the Emperor of Death''s final progress, he would still be able to travel wherever he wished in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty with his strength and laws of Death.


    "Zhao Feng, I will never die, but you will eventually be killed by me!" The Emperor of Death roared with seething hatred as he saw Zhao Feng''s stunned expression.


    "Ultimate eye-bloodline techniques of Death!" The Emperor of Death''s expression changed as he revealed a cruel smile.


    Weng~~


    The Emperor of Death''s eyes suddenly started to spin, and limitless power of Death merged into the center of the whirlpool. The area around the Emperor of Death turned black like an abyss of death that was completely devoid of life.


    "Gaze of Death!" A cold voice resounded throughout the soul-dimension and caused everything within a thousand miles to go silent. The hood over the Emperor of Death''s head suddenly fell back, revealing a head covered in bandages and a pair of black Eyes of Death that radiated a limitless aura of Death. It was like he was the Heavenly Dao as he gazed down quietly at Zhao Feng.


    At this moment in time, the hearts of countless beings turned cold with uneasiness. It was as if they were covered by the shadow of death, and they were completely unable to block this power. All they could do was let it do whatever it wanted.


    "Hehe, this move again? Both your soul and mine have reached the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm. How can this move be effective against me?" Zhao Feng was surprised, but he soon let out a laugh.


    The Gaze of Death had been useless against Zhao Feng for a long time now, but the Emperor of Death shouldn''t be so dumb that he would use it for no reason. Zhao Feng carefully circulated his Soul Intent and prepared to resist the Emperor of Death''s Gaze of Death.


    "Hehe, Zhao Feng, after experiencing the Samsara of Death, my laws of Death have become more powerful. Today, you will die." The Emperor of Death laughed coldly when he saw Zhao Feng remain so calm.


    Boom!


    An eye-bloodline technique of Death that rose into the heavens landed on Zhao Feng. Limitless Intent of Death bound Zhao Feng''s body and soul. Zhao Feng stiffened, and his heart went cold.


    "This isn''t the Gaze of Death!" Zhao Feng was shocked. The Gaze of Death that the Emperor of Death used now was completely different from before.


    The Gaze of Death this time didn''t pull out the soul; instead, it just continuously eroded and stole away the lifeforce in his body and the lifespan of his soul.


    All life within a thousand miles was affected by the Emperor of Death''s Gaze of Death, and their lifeforce slowly drained away. Flowers withered, and beasts aged into piles of bones. Even rocks seemed to be eroded by time until they turned to dust in the wind.


    The entire world seemed to turn into a world of death. Nothing would remain at the end.


    "What is this!? Shi Yulei, run!" Old Ying roared. He was several dozen miles away, but he could still feel a terrifying power of Death lock onto him. The life within his body quickly faded away, and he lost several dozen years of his soul lifespan.


    Whoosh!


    Shi Yulei and Old Ying quickly retreated out of the range of the Emperor of Death''s eye-bloodline technique as their hearts thudded.


    "What will Zhao Feng do against such a terrifying technique of Death?" Shi Yulei was full of fear. He specialized in body-strengthening, so he had more lifeforce within his body, which meant he could clearly feel how scary the Emperor of Death''s eye-bloodline technique was.


    Furthermore, he was only hit the shockwave. How much Intent of Death would Zhao Feng, who was right in the middle of the Gaze of Death, need to face?


    "Hehe, you have the God Eye protecting you, so my Gaze of Death wouldn''t be able to suck away your soul anyway. After comprehending the new laws of Death, I made a Gaze of Death specifically for you." The Emperor of Death laughed smugly as he circulated his eye-bloodline and released an even-more powerful Intent of Death.


    The new Gaze of Death was his strongest attack so far. The body and soul of anyone locked onto by this attack would start to slowly walk into death and finally turn into ashes. However, there was one thing that would be unaffected by the Intent of Death.


    "Only the God Eye will remain after your body and soul disappear," the Emperor of Death''s cold voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    The new Gaze of Death was made specifically for Zhao Feng. It was prepared in order to steal his Ninth God''s Eye. The Emperor of Death''s target had always been the God Eye.


    "What powerful Death Intent. From the looks of it, the Emperor of Death has gambled everything on this attack." Zhao Feng was shocked.


    The Emperor of Death had poured all his soul-power and Intent of Death into this new Gaze of Death.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng''s lifeforce was rapidly decreasing, and the Sacred Lightning Body started to dim. At the same time, the lifespan of his soul was also reducing. Even though Zhao Feng''s soul had evolved into a Lightning Soul Body and contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning, he wasn''t able to fight back against the Gaze of Death.


    "No, I can''t just stand here and wait to be killed!"


    Apart from his left eye, Zhao Feng''s body and his soul weren''t able to move at all since he was bound by the Intent of Death.


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath, and a flashing golden glow started to appear in his left eye. A deep gold-and-purple whirlpool seemed to connect to a gold-and-purple world of illusions surrounded by mist within Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "Gaze of the God Eye!" A powerful suction force appeared from Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye.


    This was the only thing Zhao Feng could do ¨C use the Gaze of the God Eye to absorb the Emperor of Death''s soul into the dimension of his left eye. If he did this, the Emperor of Death''s Gaze of Death would naturally disappear.


    A black soul started to slowly leave the black-robed body.


    "It''s useless Zhao Feng. Your soul and my soul have the same strength." The Emperor of Death laughed wickedly. The Emperor of Death fought back against Zhao Feng''s pulling force.


    "I will be able to escape the Samsara of Death and gain new life if I obtain your God Eye."

 969 God Eye Disintegration

    Chapter 969 - God Eye Disintegration


    "I will be able to escape the Samsara of Death and gain new life if I obtain your God Eye."


    The Emperor of Death revealed an excited and fierce expression. This was the only chance he had.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    The new Gaze of Death faced the Gaze of the God Eye, and the two terrifying Eye Intents clashed against each another, causing the nearby black mist to intertwine with the gold-and-purple light. At the same time, a terrifying Soul aura spread across a one-thousand-mile radius, transforming the nearby area into a forbidden zone.


    Boom!


    All the symbols of God Tribulation Lightning within Zhao Feng''s soul flashed. His soul was like the creator of lightning, and lightning spread throughout his soul and blocked the erosion from the Intent of Death. At the same instant, Zhao Feng circulated the Sacred Lightning Body without caring about the price.


    Right now, victory would be decided by endurance. If he managed to suck the Emperor of Death''s soul into the dimension of his left eye, then he would win. If the Emperor of Death managed to suck away all of Zhao Feng''s lifeforce first, then it would be the Emperor of Death''s victory.


    However, the situation wasn''t looking very good. The Emperor of Death''s Soul Intent and Zhao Feng''s were on the same level, and Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye was modified from the Gaze of Death in the first place, which meant that the Emperor of Death''s resistance to it was extremely powerful.


    At this point in time, only the Emperor of Death''s head was pulled out. On the other hand, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was already reaching its limits. The lightning around his body was dimming.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng also had the Lightning Soul Body, so the weakening of his soul was relatively slow. After all, countless symbols of God Tribulation Lightning were imprinted in Zhao Feng''s soul and had started to affect it, giving it some attributes of the laws of Destruction.


    "Your lifeforce and soul are much stronger than what I first thought, but that will only allow you to last a little longer on the borders of death," the Emperor of Death''s voice sounded in the soul-dimension.


    Although part of the Emperor of Death''s soul had been pulled out, his eyes were still trained on Zhao Feng. A huge amount of Death Intent surrounded Zhao Feng and slowly devoured him.


    At the same time, more than a thousand miles away:


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll come help you!" the Ninth Prince''s voice sounded.


    "Your Highness, please be careful," Old Ying warned.


    A golden light started to pour out from the Ninth Prince''s pseudo Crown Prince Seal and started to form dragons around him. Relying on draconic providence, the Ninth Prince was able to enter the area where Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death were fighting.


    "Ninth Prince!" Zhao Feng faltered for a moment.


    Zhao Feng, who was currently using his full power to fight against the Gaze of Death, could faintly sense the Ninth Prince and the pseudo Crown Prince Seal.


    The pseudo Crown Prince Seal was much dimmer than before, probably because he used a bunch already to finish Sacred Lord Dark Soul. Otherwise, that fight shouldn''t have finished so quickly.


    "Ninth Prince, don''t come over!" Zhao Feng managed to squeeze out a bit of his Soul Intent and spoke weakly.


    Draconic providence could increase the battle-power of those with the imperial bloodline. However, the Ninth Prince didn''t specialize in the Soul Dao, so he wouldn''t be able to affect the situation very much. He would only be wasting his draconic providence.


    "Hmph, you don''t specialize in the soul. Using draconic providence to increase your battle-power will do nothing." The Emperor of Death laughed coldly and completely ignored the Ninth Prince.


    The Ninth Prince acted as if he didn''t hear what either of them said. He relied on the protection of the draconic providence to slowly arrive within a hundred miles of Zhao Feng.


    A white glow of light suddenly shot out from the Ninth Prince''s pseudo Crown Prince Seal, and it transformed into a golden dragon claw before landing on Zhao Feng''s body.


    Weng~~


    A layer of gold light and draconic providence surrounded Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, this is all I can do for you."


    After doing this, the Ninth Prince took the dim pseudo Crown Prince Seal and quickly retreated.


    "Dammit, this brat¡­!" the Emperor of Death cursed. This layer of draconic providence had a unique power similar to Destruction or Death, and it instantly reduced the pressure of the Gaze of Death.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes became tough, and he fully circulated his Eye Intent in an attempt to pull out the Emperor of Death''s soul.


    Unfortunately, this draconic providence could only protect him momentarily. If Zhao Feng could actually use the draconic providence, then he could use it to increase the power of his Gaze of the God''s Eye.


    "Hmph, even draconic providence will eventually wither." The Emperor of Death snickered coldly as more Intent of Death poured out from his black eyes and increased the power.


    Weng~ Weng~~


    The draconic providence shield around Zhao Feng''s body started to dim, but the erosion within Zhao Feng''s body and soul was very small.


    "No¡­ the Gaze of Death circulates the Intent of Death to the maximum while my Gaze of the God Eye only uses a bit of the Dao of Illusion. The Emperor of Death''s soul is so strong that it can basically just ignore my technique."


    Zhao Feng used the chance while he was safe to think.


    Sacred Kings couldn''t enter the Imperial Tombs, and the power of the God Slaying Arrow had reached the level of a Sacred King, so he obviously couldn''t use it. Furthermore, even if he did use the God Slaying Arrow, it wouldn''t truly kill the Emperor of Death, so what was the point of wasting it?


    However, what else could Zhao Feng do in order to deal with this life-and-death danger?


    "What, have you given up? Hahaha!" The Emperor of Death felt Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye weaken, and he instantly started to laugh.


    "Break!" the Emperor of Death''s cold voice sounded.


    Hu~~


    The draconic providence around Zhao Feng''s body was engulfed by the Intent of Death, and limitless power of Death once again surrounded Zhao Feng like hundreds of millions of venomous snakes.


    Life started to fade away, and the soul started to wither¡­.


    "The Eyes of Death contain the Intent of Death¡­. Then what about my God''s Eye?" Zhao Feng had a question as he felt the limitless power of Death around him.


    "If that''s the case¡­"


    A mysterious golden light suddenly started to flash in Zhao Feng''s left eye, and his golden hair blew wildly. In the dimension of his left eye, the mysterious golden ball started to move, and a golden ripple that seemed to contain the origin of everything in the world started to spread.


    "God¡­ Eye¡­ Disintegration!"


    A gold-and-purple light started to spin in Zhao Feng''s left eye, and it instantly passed through the Emperor of Death.


    "What is this?" The Emperor of Death''s soul returned to his body after the Gaze of the God''s Eye ended, but this mysterious golden ripple made him feel uncomfortable.


    The Emperor of Death suddenly realized that part of his body was slowly disappearing. Atoms that couldn''t be seen by the naked eye were slowly disappearing, as if they didn''t even exist in the first place.


    Everything the Emperor of Death had was disappearing.


    "This¡­ what is this power!?" the Emperor of Death cried out in fear.


    His laws of Death made everything ¨C including both physical objects and the soul ¨C slowly age until death. However, even the Emperor of Death didn''t understand the theory behind this mysterious power that Zhao Feng was displaying.


    It was like a person watching their hands and feet suddenly disappear until they just completely faded away from the world.


    At the end, the Emperor of Death would have nothing left and disappear completely.


    Weng~~


    The mysterious ball within the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye released countless rays of golden light every second.


    "My Eye Intent is being used up so quickly!" Zhao Feng jumped up in fright. The God Eye Disintegration used the power within the mysterious golden ball to disperse the Emperor of Death''s body.


    In terms of power, it was on par with the Gaze of Death. However, Zhao Feng was able to fight back against the power of Death, while the Emperor of Death could only watch as everything that belonged to him slowly faded away.


    The Emperor of Death''s body was soon disintegrated, leaving behind the Emperor of Death''s soul floating in the air. Zhao Feng could still sense the atoms of the Samsara Immortal Body slowly gathering together in an attempt to recover, but the rate of its recovery wasn''t as fast as the rate of its dispersal.


    "Emperor of Death, slowly disappear from this world," Zhao Feng''s cold voice sounded.


    "How is this possible!? Even if your God Eye evolved again, you can''t have such a weird ability!" the Emperor of Death yelled in fear.


    The reason he was scared was because the Samsara Immortal Body that disappeared wasn''t recovering. The Emperor of Death wondered whether he would ever wake up from the Samsara of Death again if he completely disappeared.


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was weak, he lost several thousand years of his lifespan, and his body was starting to wither, but the Emperor of Death''s body had completely disappeared and his soul was becoming transparent.


    As his soul faded away, the strength of his soul power was obviously reduced, resulting in the Gaze of Death becoming weaker.


    Siii...


    Zhao Feng felt that his powerful Eye Intent was about to be all used up, and a painful sensation appeared from his left eye. If he kept this up, Zhao Feng would lose even more, and the Emperor of Death would just be able to revive from the Samsara of Death again even if he was completely disintegrated.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent touched the mysterious golden ball once more, and the frequency of the ripples sped up. The Emperor of Death''s soul started to fade away into nothingness even faster.


    "This, this¡­!" Ever since he acquired the Samsara Immortal Body, the Emperor of Death had never felt such fear.


    "My Samsara Immortal Body still hasn''t recovered yet¡­!" The Emperor of Death suddenly stopped the Gaze of Death.


    Run! The Emperor of Death''s dim soul turned into a dark streak of light and tried to run away.


    "Want to run away? Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly and used the Gaze of the God''s Eye again without care for his Eye Intent.


    A strong suction force came from Zhao Feng''s golden left eye. Zhao Feng was ready this time; he wouldn''t let the Emperor of Death''s Yuan Soul run away so easily like last time. Once the Emperor of Death entered the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye, he would lock him up and never let him die, preventing him from reviving through the Samsara of Death.


    However, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air and gave off an unresistable force. A pair of hell-like eyes slowly came into sight above the Emperor of Death''s weak soul, and a ripple of darkness started to spin slowly like the Samsara of Life and Death.


    "His life and death belong to the Samsara of Death."

 970 Stealing the Eye

    Chapter 970 - Stealing the Eye


    "His life and death belong to the Samsara of Death."


    A pair of hell-like dark yellow eyes slowly came into sight above the Emperor of Death''s weak soul, and a ripple of darkness started to spin slowly like the Samsara of Life and Death.


    Everything within a thousand miles that had just escaped from the destruction of Zhao Feng''s God Eye and the Intent of Death suddenly fell into the abyss of Samsara once more. The entire world went dark, as if it was a prison.


    When Zhao Feng looked at the pair of dark yellow eyes, he seemed to see his past and future. The ring of black in the eye was like the destiny of life, which he was unable to see.


    "So, this is the Eye of Samsara?"


    Zhao Feng was stunned. The Eye of Samsara had the ability to make a soul immortal by creating the Samsara Immortal Body. There were also other abilities that Zhao Feng didn''t even know of.


    At this moment, the Eye of Samsara had descended into the Imperial Tombs. However, the Eye of Samsara''s target wasn''t Zhao Feng ¨C it was the Emperor of Death. A powerful Intent suddenly shot out from the Eye of Samsara that made even Zhao Feng''s powerful Soul Intent shake.


    A pulling force appeared from the Eye of Samsara, and the Emperor of Death''s soul slowly moved away from Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye as it was dragged upward by an even-stronger force.


    This suction force completely surpassed Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye. After all, Zhao Feng just used the God Eye Disintegration, which almost completely used up Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent. Zhao Feng was currently at his limits.


    Hu~~


    At the same instant, the Emperor of Death''s Samsara Immortal Body started to slowly recover and wrap around the Emperor of Death''s soul since Zhao Feng was no longer using his God Eye Disintegration.


    Seeing this, the Emperor of Death let out a breath. He originally thought that the Samsara Immortal Body wouldn''t work anymore. From the looks of it, even though Zhao Feng''s God Eye had evolved, he was still unable to kill the Emperor of Death, who had fallen into the Samsara of Death.


    "Zhao Feng, my pursuit will never end. After you leave the Imperial Tombs, I will acquire the Samsara Immortal Body of a Sacred Lord and wait for you."


    The Emperor of Death went with the flow of the Eye of Samsara and slowly entered the Samsara of Death, leaving the range of Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye.


    Zhao Feng had an ugly expression, and anger seemed to burn through his eyes. The Emperor of Death''s soul had reached the beginning stages of the Mystic Light Realm. If he was able to obtain a Samsara Immortal Body at the beginning-stage Mystic Light Realm as well, then his battle-power would increase dramatically.


    At that point in time, soul attacks wouldn''t be the Emperor of Death''s only forte; the power of Death from his physical attacks would also threaten Zhao Feng greatly. After all, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body didn''t have the undying attribute yet. If it was destroyed, Zhao Feng would have to start re-cultivating again.


    Seeing the Emperor of Death''s soul and Samsara Immortal Body slowly enter the Eye of Samsara, Zhao Feng''s expression changed. His eyes became decisive.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng stopped the Gaze of the God Eye and closed his eyes.


    "Hehe." The Emperor of Death laughed after seeing Zhao Feng stop the Gaze of the God Eye.


    He belonged to the Samsara of Death. Even if Zhao Feng was at his peak state, his Gaze of the God Eye wouldn''t be able to surpass the Samsara of Death.


    However, Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly opened, and a faint golden beam of light shone onto the Emperor of Death''s head and went straight through it.


    "What is this?" The Emperor of Death paused for a moment. This power didn''t seem to be made of physical or soul power, and it didn''t affect him at all. It was as if it didn''t belong in this dimension. But even if it did affect him, so what?


    The Emperor of Death smiled when he saw that Zhao Feng''s technique was useless. The Emperor of Death''s soul had fallen into the Samsara of Death and he had the Samsara Immortal Body, meaning that he couldn''t die. What could Zhao Feng possibly do to him?


    "Disperse," Zhao Feng gently said as the faint golden light suddenly drew a circle around the Emperor of Death''s right eye.


    "Hmm?" The Emperor of Death had a disdainful expression, but he suddenly felt a weird sensation in his soul.


    "This is¡­?" The Emperor of Death''s expression changed dramatically.


    His left eye saw a terrifying scene ¨C his right eye slowly floated out.


    His Eyes of Death were obtained through a soul inheritance, so he still had them even after being revived.


    At this moment, there was a hole where the Emperor of Death''s right eye should''ve been. An Eye of Death floated in the air in front of his soul.


    "Spatial Movement."


    A spatial disturbance started to appear around the right Eye of Death.


    The Emperor of Death seemed to think of something, and his expression turned to fear and panic. Although his right Eye of Death had left his soul, it still contained his Soul Intent.


    "Destruct! Self-destruct!" The Emperor of Death could still connect to the right Eye of Death. As long as he destroyed the right Eye of Death, it would appear again from the Samsara of Death.


    However, in the next instant, the right Eye of Death completely disappeared, and so did the connection between the Emperor of Death and the right Eye of Death.


    "Zhao Feng, my Eye of Death! Where did you hide my Eye of Death!?" The Emperor of Death failed to self-destruct his Eye of Death and roared. His expression became twisted, and he acted like was insane.


    The whole reason he started chasing Zhao Feng in the first place was to steal his Ninth God''s Eye, but now his own right Eye of Death was stolen by that very same Zhao Feng. The Emperor of Death couldn''t handle it. He knew that Zhao Feng had hidden his right eye somewhere.


    "How is this possible? You actually dug out my Eye of Death? This is impossible!"


    The Emperor of Death almost became crazy, and he struggled in an attempt to escape the suction force of the Eye of Samsara. He wanted to charge at Zhao Feng and skin him alive.


    He couldn''t understand what kind of power that mysterious light was or how it could separate his Eye of Death from his soul.


    The Emperor of Death struggled and used his Intent of Death to fight back against the Eye of Samsara, but how could he possibly escape from the Eye of Samsara?


    "Zhao Feng, give back my Eye of Death¡­!" The Emperor of Death was completely sucked into the Eye of Samsara.


    "Hehe, when you come next time, remember to give me your other Eye of Death," Zhao Feng''s joyful voice sounded as he expressed his thanks to the Emperor of Death.


    After losing one Eye of Death, the power of the Gaze of Death would reduce dramatically. Even if he had a beginning-stage Sacred Lord-level Samsara Immortal Body next time, Zhao Feng wouldn''t need to be scared of him.


    Hu~


    The Eye of Samsara gave a glance at Zhao Feng after sucking away the Emperor of Death, then slowly closed and faded into the air.


    "Eye of Samsara¡­" Zhao Feng murmured as he descended from the sky and sat down on the ground.


    Although his Eye Intent and the mysterious golden ball had already been depleted, Zhao Feng still used one more God Eye Disintegration at the end. A piercing pain and a sleepy sensation washed over Zhao Feng''s left eye. He immediately used some herbs and medicine.


    Zhao Feng was extremely weak right now. After being eroded by the Intent of Death, both his soul and state of existence had been weakened, but luckily, Zhao Feng''s foundation was very strong; he would be able to recover pretty quickly.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Wood of Wind Lightning to complement the medicine and heal his body and soul. His withered body soon started to recover. Zhao Feng''s recovery speed was extremely strong; as long as he had enough lifeforce, he could recover.


    "I wonder what this Eye of Death can do for me."


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the dimension of his left eye. An Eye of Death that existed in a soul-like state floated quietly above the mysterious golden ball. It contained the Emperor of Death''s Soul Intent, but it was completely suppressed.


    "After I recover, I''ll use the God Tribulation Lightning to get rid of the Intent of Death, but this Eye of Death¡­" Zhao Feng murmured.


    Zhao Feng had obtained a technique known as the Forbidden Eye Stealing Technique from the Three Eyed Saint. It contained information and theories behind stealing and transplanting an eye, but no one had tried it yet.


    Furthermore, this knowledge was only based on physical objects, and it was relatively low-level. The Eye of Death that Zhao Feng currently had existed in a soul state.


    "If I fail, the Eye of Death might be destroyed, which would return it to the Emperor of Death."


    Zhao Feng heart became heavy. Even if Zhao Feng had a complete eye-stealing technique, he wouldn''t dare to use it.


    Zhao Feng decided to leave the Eye of Death in the dimension of his God Eye for now. This would at least get rid of the trouble that the Emperor of Death posed. A one-eyed Emperor of Death wouldn''t be able to threaten Zhao Feng.


    Within a sea of bamboo, a transparent Eye of Samsara appeared in front of an elder. A black-robed body suddenly descended from the Eye of Samsara.


    "Your freedom ends here," the elder said.


    "No, don''t! Zhao Feng took away my Eye of Death! I need to get it back and steal his God Eye!"


    The Emperor of Death knelt on the ground and begged in pain.


    "You can''t succeed." The elder had a calm expression as he looked into the distance with a pair of dark eyes.


    "No, if you had given me the Samsara Immortal Body of a beginning-stage Mystic Light Realm from the start, I wouldn''t have lost!" the Emperor of Death roared with anger and hatred.


    "Hmph." The black circle in the elder''s eyes suddenly started to spin.


    "Arghh¡­! Don''t!" The black symbols and curses around the Emperor of Death started to blink, and an irresistible power of Samsara was released. The Emperor of Death''s soul and body started to twist and slowly rip apart.


    Boom!


    The Emperor of Death''s body and soul were shattered into pieces under extreme pain.


    The next instant, a black figure seemed to appear in the elder''s Eye of Samsara. The elder then slowly walked toward a bamboo room.


    "Disciple, come tell me your dream from yesterday."


    "Okay!" A young girl clad in faint green with a pair of clear eyes within the bamboo room gave a faint smile. She gave others a calm and peaceful feeling.


    "In the dream, my father was a City Lord, and just as the fight to become my fianc¨¦e was about to come to an end, a one-eyed youth arrived, but I can''t remember his name¡­."

 971 Attack

    Chapter 971 - Attack


    The Ninth Prince''s team members, who were all waiting impatiently outside, all charged in after the forbidden power disappeared.


    "Zhao Feng!"


    Everyone saw that Zhao Feng was sitting on the ground, and their stressed hearts finally relaxed. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng had won.


    "We''ll wait here," Old Ying suggested, and no one disagreed. They could feel the terrifying disturbance from the battle between Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death. If they got close to it, the lifeforce within their bodies would flow away.


    It was hard to imagine the fight between Zhao Feng and the black-robed person. It was already a miracle to them that Zhao Feng was still alive.


    They didn''t know when this started, but they were placing all their hopes on Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng had an accident, that would be the end of the Crown Prince trial for them.


    "Ninth Prince, there''s still hope," Old Ying comforted.


    The Ninth Prince originally had a large amount of draconic providence within his pseudo Crown Prince seal, exceeding his expectations. However, a part of the draconic providence was used up in the fight against Sacred Lord Dark Soul. The Ninth Prince then risked his life to enter the area where Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death were fighting and expended more draconic providence in order to help Zhao Feng.


    Over half of the draconic providence within the Ninth Prince''s pseudo Crown Prince seal had been used up.


    "En. As long as we still have Brother Zhao, we have hope." The Ninth Prince nodded his head.


    He didn''t regret what he did. If Zhao Feng hadn''t helped him, he wouldn''t have been able to reach this stage. Zhao Feng was also the one that had obtained most of that draconic providence in the first place.


    Three days soon passed.


    "Let''s go," Zhao Feng finally spoke after sitting there for three days.


    In reality, Zhao Feng''s injuries had recovered long ago, but his weak soul took a lot of time to recover. Luckily, the power of the ancient lightning helped heal Zhao Feng''s soul. Perhaps because he had a Lightning Soul Body, he could recover soul-based injuries by absorbing the power of lightning.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng realized that this fight against the Emperor of Death helped him lay down a foundation for an Undying Sacred Lightning Body.


    Because the Undying Sacred Lightning Body couldn''t be cultivated very quickly, Zhao Feng originally put it aside. After so much time had passed, and with the help from the Intent of Death, Zhao Feng could finally start to cultivate it.


    Everyone was stunned. Zhao Feng recovered already? After fighting such an intense battle against such a powerful opponent, Zhao Feng only used three days to recover?


    Zhou Su''er was stunned as well, and she closely inspected Zhao Feng. She only relaxed after making sure that there were indeed no serious injuries on Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, the Emperor of Death¡­?" Old Ying asked.


    He was shocked when he heard the black-robed person''s true identity and that he had a Samsara Immortal Body. An undying body, an undying soul at the level of a Sacred Lord, and the Eyes of Death ¨C even normal Sacred Lords wouldn''t be able to do much against the Emperor of Death, let alone a King.


    However, the one that remained after the battle was Zhao Feng. Old Ying could only sigh; he could never see through this youth.


    The others also immediately looked at Zhao Feng. Although it was obvious that Zhao Feng won, they wanted to hear it from Zhao Feng personally.


    "He left," Zhao Feng replied simply.


    Left? Everyone paused for a moment. This answer didn''t exactly give them a clear indication of who won.


    "Zhao Feng, after we leave the Imperial Tombs, you can stay in the Imperial Palace," Old Ying spoke after thinking for a moment.


    While Zhao Feng may have won this time, the immortal Emperor of Death could revive through the Samsara of Death. Zhao Feng would only be safe by staying in the Imperial Palace.


    "That''s right. It doesn''t matter if you won or not. Brother Zhao can always stay at my place." The Ninth Prince agreed.


    "We''ll see when the time comes." Zhao Feng didn''t accept or reject Old Ying''s and the Ninth Prince''s offer.


    He couldn''t confirm what he would do after the Imperial Tombs. He might stay in the Imperial Palace to avoid Nine Darkness Palace and the Emperor of Death, he might return to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, or he might search for the Eye of Samsara.


    Zhao Feng remembered what the Sage had said ¨C he needed to find the Eye of Samsara to confirm Liu Qinxin''s location. Maybe it was because the Eye of Samsara had some kind of ability in that aspect, but Zhao Feng didn''t know.


    However, Zhao Feng couldn''t confirm whether the Eye of Samsara''s owner was an enemy or not after this incident¡­.


    Outside the Seventh Prince''s city:


    "Should we confirm whether Zhao Feng is dead or alive?" Jiang Hao asked.


    "You''re crazy! Zhao Feng''s definitely dead. Even I wouldn''t dare to get close to the power that the black-robed person displayed," a Quasi-Sacred Lord exclaimed.


    After Sacred Lord Dark Soul returned, he was sent out again to approach the area where Zhao Feng and the black-robed person were fighting. He didn''t even manage to see them before being scared away by the terrifying Intent of Death.


    "But the black-robed person hasn''t come back either." Jiang Hao wasn''t respectful to this Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    What Jiang Hao said made everyone else go silent. Neither the Ninth Prince''s team nor the black-robed person had returned. There was definitely something suspicious about this.


    "Don''t worry. Even if Zhao Feng is still alive somehow, he will be heavily injured and won''t be able to attack us." Sacred Lord Dark Soul knew the most about the black-robed person''s mastery of the soul, so he spoke in a confident tone.


    Zhao Feng was the beast tamer, which was an extremely important position in attacking the city. If his soul was injured, he wouldn''t be able to control his beasts properly.


    "The Ninth Prince and Zhao Feng are here," Zhang Yi''s voice suddenly sounded.


    Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s face went black, and he regretted what he just said.


    Zhang Yi and a doctor were taking care of the beasts outside. The beasts that had been eroded by the Intent of Death would soon die if they weren''t taken care of. Because of this, Zhang Yi was the first to see the image in front, and he looked at Zhao Feng fearfully. "What kind of monster is he?"


    Whoosh!


    The members of the Seventh Prince''s team flew to the city wall and looked into the distance.


    "Zhao Feng''s fine!?" One of the Quasi-Sacred Lord''s was extremely surprised.


    "Impossible! The black-robed person specializes in soul attacks and the laws of Death. Even if Zhao Feng survived, his soul should be heavily injured, and he won''t be able to control his beasts so easily." Sacred Lord Dark Soul looked at Zhao Feng grimly. Even he was slightly scared of the black-robed person, so he wasn''t willing to admit that Zhao Feng was perfectly fine.


    "From the looks of it, this battle can''t be avoided." The scholar looked at the members of the Ninth Prince''s team and concluded.


    The return of the Ninth Prince''s team brought shock to the other Heaven''s Legacy Cities and the other three princes'' forces.


    "No one from the Ninth Prince''s team died even though the black-robed person and Sacred Lord Dark Soul both chased after them?" The Second Prince''s expression changed.


    "How is this possible? The black-robed person didn''t return." The Thirteenth Prince had an ugly expression, and killing intent flashed through his eyes as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng!" Yu Tianhao''s eyes were full of battle-intent.


    "Indeed, no one is able to defeat him." The Eighth Prince sighed.


    The Nine Prince''s team returned to the outside of the Seventh prince''s Heaven''s Legacy City.


    No one mocked them anymore, and the Seventh Prince''s team was on guard.


    "His soul¡­!" Sacred Lord Dark Soul closely inspected Zhao Feng, but he found that Zhao Feng didn''t seem to be injured. The aura of his soul was actually even stronger than before.


    "Attack with full force. Our main target is Zhao Feng. We just need to stop him from controlling his beasts," the scholar messaged the other team members with his plan.


    "Zhao Feng, are you sure you''re okay?" Old Ying asked. He knew that the clash between Zhao Feng and the Emperor of Death must have been soul-based.


    "En." Zhao Feng nodded his head. "Attack with full power."


    Zhao Feng had calm eyes. No one would stop them this time ¨C this Heaven''s Legacy City would be theirs.


    Everyone was filled with excitement after hearing what Zhao Feng said. They knew that Zhao Feng would take out all his beasts this time and let the others witness the full strength of the Ninth Prince''s team.


    "Charge!" the scholar roared, and all the members charged out. Terrifying Magnificent Power filled the air and swept toward Zhao Feng. Zhang Yi also controlled his beasts and created a formation with them.


    Zhao Feng looked at the members of the Seventh Prince''s team with the same expression and waved his left hand.


    Boom!


    A surge of fierce beastly aura suddenly appeared outside the Seventh Prince''s city wall, and the terrifying aura instantly crushed the momentum of the Seventh Prince''s team. This surge of aura made them feel as if they were in a kingdom of beasts, and they were the prey.


    Whoosh!


    An army of beasts surrounded the Seventh Prince''s city. Venomous scorpions, Wind Wolves, Night Wolves, Red-Faced Ice Snakes, Winged Wolves, seven Sky Shaking Golden Apes, and several other Emperor-ranked rare beasts appeared.


    The people that just charged out from the Seventh Prince''s city instantly stopped and almost tripped over themselves. Zhang Yi, who was still arranging a formation at the back, fell onto his butt, and the beasts he controlled started to yell and retreat with fear and panic.


    "This¡­ how many beasts are there!?" Zhang Yi''s voice trembled in disbelief.


    On top of that, all of these beasts were from the Imperial Tombs. They were extremely fierce and deadly.


    At this moment, a chubby silkworm slowly flew out from Zhao Feng''s hand, and an ancient and powerful aura descended. The countless beasts around Zhao Feng instantly started to howl, and a deadly aura shocked Heaven and Earth.


    At this instant, this species from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races became the leader of the beasts. They were willing to fight for the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, who had a pure bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    "This¡­ what should we do?" The Seventh Prince''s face went pale-white as he looked at the scholar.


    "All-out attack, but we''re changing our plan." The scholar took a deep breath.


    "Change our target to the Ninth Prince and attack him with our full power. Threaten his life if you have to," the scholar''s decisive voice sounded in everyone''s mind.


    The Seventh Prince paused for a moment before understanding what the scholar meant. As long as the Ninth Prince used his pseudo Crown Prince Seal to ask for help, then everything would come to an end. It wouldn''t matter how many beasts Zhao Feng had because he would be forced out of the Imperial Tombs.

 972 Controlling the Situation

    Chapter 972 - Controlling the Situation


    When the surge of beastly aura appeared outside the Seventh Prince''s city, it wasn''t just the Seventh Prince and his team that were stunned; the members within the other three Heaven''s Legacy City, the three princes outside the southern Heaven''s Legacy City, and all the spectators back in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty were all shocked as well.


    "How can there be so many beasts?" The Fifth Prince looked into the distance with a dazed look. He very much regretted not letting the Second Prince invite the Ninth Prince. With a beast horde like that, it would be extremely easy to break through the Eighth Prince''s city.


    Furthermore, the rest of the Ninth Prince''s team wasn''t weak either. None of them had been killed by the black-robed person or Sacred Lord Dark Soul.


    "Looks like Zhao Feng really does think that it would be boring to attack us." The Eighth Prince faltered for a moment before smiling. Although he regretted not forming a good relationship with Zhao Feng, he felt lucky that he didn''t exactly form a bad relationship with Zhao Feng.


    The strength that the Ninth Prince''s team currently displayed didn''t just scare the Seventh Prince. Even the Thirteenth and Fourth Princes'' teams were stunned.


    "He really is a beast tamer?" Xuanyuan Wen had a solemn expression. Even though he had managed to somewhat control a substandard God Weapon, Xuanyuan Wen didn''t want to fight against such a monstrous beast tamer.


    "That Zhao Feng¡­!" Sacred Lord Black Demon from Nine Darkness Palace had a grim expression. He was wondered whether or not Zhao Feng even used his full power when fighting with him; back then, he didn''t even take out a single beast.


    Discussion broke out amongst the Great Gan Imperials.


    "So many beasts!"


    "This will be fun to watch. The Seventh Prince has two Sacred Lords."


    Most of the experts present sighed in shock, whereas those within the Ninth Prince''s hall were full of excitement. Those that were suspicious of Zhao Feng before were now extremely embarrassed.


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Feng''s beast taming skills were so strong."


    "Hahaha, the Ninth Prince''s team was conserving their strength."


    "From my point of view, the Ninth Prince still has some hope." An Elder from some clan had sparkling eyes.


    Duke Nanfeng also nodded his head with a faint smile. To a certain degree, he chose the Ninth Prince''s side because of Zhao Feng, not because he cared about whether the Ninth Prince could become the Crown Prince or not. However, he now thought that the Ninth Prince had hope. Maybe he was the one taking advantage by choosing Zhao Feng''s side.


    Facing the massive horde of beasts made the Seventh Prince''s team finally understand that they had underestimated the Ninth Prince''s team. This would be a tough fight.


    "Zhang Yi, try to stall Zhao Feng''s beasts," the scholar ordered.


    "Okay." Zhang Yi''s face went red. He didn''t care about how talented this junior Zhao Feng was anymore, all he needed to do was protect the city successfully.


    Hu~


    This time, the Seventh Prince''s team started to properly prepare.


    "Watch out, they''re coming!" Old Ying exclaimed.


    Although Zhao Feng had a lot of beasts, their team didn''t have any peak battle-powers. If the Seventh Prince just defended the city, the Ninth Prince''s team would have a bigger advantage. However, the scholar already noticed that and decided to go on the offensive.


    "Protect Zhao Feng," Old Ying thought for a moment before saying.


    Usually, protecting the beast tamer in a battle was the first thing a team should do, but the beast tamer in their group was their strongest member.


    "Shi Yulei, keep an eye on the two from Sky Sword Pavilion." Old Ying gave Shi Yulei a task. Shi Yulei specialized in physical defense and perfectly countered the Dao of Sword attacks from those of Sky Sword Pavilion.


    Old Ying and Su Qingling kept an eye on Sacred Lord Dark Soul.


    "Okay." Shi Yulei immediately locked onto Sacred Lord Sharp Edge and Lu Tianqi. He obviously wasn''t their match in a duel, but all he needed to do was try his best to block their attacks.


    Whoosh!


    Apart from the Seventh Prince and Zhang Yi, the other six in the Seventh Prince''s team charged out. From the looks of it, their target was Zhao Feng.


    "As I thought." Old Ying''s expression became grim. The target of the Seventh Prince''s team was Zhao Feng since he was the one controlling all these beasts.


    "Zhao Feng, watch out," Old Ying warned. After all, Zhao Feng wasn''t at his peak right now.


    "It''s fine." Zhao Feng didn''t worry at all. He just circulated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    Boom!


    All the beasts around him started to charge toward the Seventh Prince''s city. Only the seven Sky Shaking Golden Apes were left behind.


    "What? This brat is making his beasts attack?" Sacred Lord Dark Soul was surprised.


    All of them were pretending to attack Zhao Feng, and then he was supposed to leave behind a large portion of his beasts to protect himself, but Zhao Feng only left seven Sky Shaking Golden Apes behind? This was very different to what the scholar had analyzed.


    "Grandmaster Zhang Yi, hold on!" The Seventh Prince''s heart fell when he saw the wave of beasts rushing over.


    "Okay." Zhang Yi circulated his Soul Intent and made his beasts block the city gate.


    "You''re courting death. You think seven measly Sky Shaking Golden Apes can stop our attack?" Sacred Lord Sharp Edge became angry and lifted his jade sword, unleashing a blur of sword lights through the air as infinite Sword Intent shot into the sky.


    Hu~~


    Sacred Lord Sharp Edge slashed out with his sword, and the Sword Intent formed a transparent white sword that seemed able to pierce through anything.


    "I''ll handle it." Shi Yulei held a giant dark yellow shield with both hands and stood in front of Zhao Feng.


    The dragon carving on the dark yellow shield suddenly lit up and gave off the faint roar of a dragon. Countless sparkling golden bits of sand flowed out of the dragon''s head and slowly formed a sandy wall of defense.


    "You won''t be able to block it." Sacred Lord Sharp Edge harrumphed coldly in disdain.


    Boom! Boom!


    The transparent white sword instantly destroyed the sandy wall of defense.


    Bam!


    A physical force suddenly shattered the remaining power of the white sword.


    Hu~


    A gold-and-blue metallic giant charged out, and its physical pressure instantly suppressed the other five people.


    "What? Is that¡­ Zhao Feng?" Sacred Lord Sharp Edge had a surprised expression.


    "Body-strengthening?" Lu Tianqi, a junior from Sky Sword Pavilion, murmured.


    "Laughable! A beast tamer coming out to fight personally?" Sacred Lord Sharp Edge roared as he sent another slash toward Zhao Feng.


    The other five from the Seventh Prince''s team also charged out and pretended to attack Zhao Feng, but they were actually just waiting for a chance to attack the Ninth Prince.


    Hu~~


    Shi Yulei went forward once again and used his defensive Inheritance Sacred weapon to block part of Sacred Lord Sharp Edge''s attack.


    Wu~~~


    The seven Sky Shaking Golden Apes roared and leapt at the incoming five experts from the Seventh Prince''s team.


    "You guys stall Sacred Lord Sharp Edge," Zhao Feng messaged the others.


    Sacred Lord Sharp Edge seemed to be the stronger Sacred Lord on the Seventh Prince''s team. Their soul specialist Su Qingling''s cultivation was too low, so she couldn''t block Sacred Lord Dark Soul. On the other hand, Shi Yulei relied on his bloodline, his defensive Inheritance Sacred Weapon, and his technique to stall Sacred Lord Sharp Edge''s offense.


    "Okay." The Ninth Prince and company didn''t question what Zhao Feng said, and they immediately blocked Sacred Lord Sharp Edge.


    Sacred Lord Dark Soul, Jiang Hao, Lu Tianqi, and company from the Seventh Prince''s side faltered for a moment.


    "What''s the meaning of this?" The scholar''s expression changed. Apart from Zhao Feng, everyone else in the Ninth Prince''s team went to block Sacred Lord Sharp Edge, completely ignoring everyone else. In this situation, should they keep pretending to attack Zhao Feng and ambush the Ninth Prince, or should they just actually attack Zhao Feng, who was so unprotected?


    The scholar started to think.


    Wu~~


    At this moment, the seven Sky Shaking Golden Apes charged over.


    "Fuck off!" Lu Tianqi roared as he unleashed countless sword beams.


    "Ice Demonic Spear!" Jiang Hao quickly stabbed out with his white spear, and countless white blurs stabbed toward the Sky Shaking Golden Apes.


    However, the Sky Shaking Golden Apes had big bodies and strong defense. They took these attacks head-on and punched forward with their fists.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Soul, kill Zhao Feng!" The scholar soon made a decision.


    Lu Tianqi and Jiang Hao were responsible for stalling the seven Sky Shaking Golden Apes.


    This left the scholar, Sacred Lord Dark Soul, and another Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    Although the current situation looked like a trap, the three of them didn''t believe that they couldn''t take care of one beast tamer that was just a King.


    "Hehe, are you not going to protect the city?" Zhao Feng suddenly smiled.


    "You, quickly go back and help grandmaster Zhang Yi!" The scholar''s expression changed, and he ordered the Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    Zhao Feng had only left seven Sky Shaking Golden Apes behind, which meant the rest of his horde was going to attack the city. Zhang Yi and the Seventh Prince alone obviously wouldn''t be able to block them all. If the city was broken into and the Seventh Prince became surrounded by beasts, they would lose.


    At this instant, the Seventh Prince and Zhang Yi were in dire straits.


    Whoosh!


    The Quasi-Sacred Lord flew toward the city.


    Whoosh!


    The scholar and Sacred Lord Dark Soul immediately charged toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng looked at the two of them and gave a faint smile. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly next to him opened its mouth and spat out a five-colored silk that instantly shot through the air and covered everything within a few hundred yards.


    However, the scholar and Sacred Lord Dark Soul were ready. They dodged and broke through the silk and continued to charge toward Zhao Feng.


    "You think you can stop us by relying on the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly?" Sacred Lord Dark Soul snickered coldly as the power of his soul surged.


    However, the sound of Jiang Hao''s cry suddenly sounded from behind them.


    "Dammit, what is this?" Jiang Hao''s sight was blocked by the Sky Shaking Golden Ape, so he wasn''t on guard against the silk, which instantly wrapped around him.


    On the other side, Lu Tianqi was also wrapped in silk, reducing his mobility.


    The scholar had a grim expression as he suddenly understood that the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s attack wasn''t even aimed at them to begin with.


    "This youth!" The scholar suddenly had a weird feeling as he looked at the calm Zhao Feng. It was as if, the moment he decided to attack Zhao Feng, this youth took control of this battle.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Soul, end this fight as quickly as possible!" the scholar messaged Sacred Lord Dark Soul. Zhao Feng''s calm and nonchalant expression frustrated him.


    However, just as he finished saying that:


    Whoosh!


    A pair of Scarlet Wings of Lightning spread behind Zhao Feng''s back, and he turned into a bolt of red-and-white lightning that shot toward the two of them.


    "What? He''s going on the offensive?" The scholar was stunned.


    This youth in front of him was acting extremely weirdly. He couldn''t see through him at all.


    "You''re courting death!" Sacred Lord Dark Soul was enraged, and he released his soul power. He held a short gray blade in his hand and slashed out, unleashing a black ripple of light.

 973 Finishing it Quickly

    Chapter 973 - Finishing it Quickly


    "You''re courting death!" Sacred Lord Dark Soul was enraged, and he released his soul power. He held a short gray blade in his hand and slashed out, unleashing a black ripple of light.


    This ripple of black light was extremely thin, and it sliced through the air like a sharp blade. It gave off a Soul aura that made one''s heart shake.


    Sacred Lord Dark Soul didn''t believe that Zhao Feng, who was just a measly King, could actually defeat the black-robed person. The Ninth Prince''s team must have combined their power and helped Zhao Feng defeat the black-robed person.


    On the other side, the scholar unleashed gold-and-white palm phantoms as he thrust out both his hands and cooperated with Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s soul attack.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng looked at their attacks and didn''t evade. It was as if he didn''t even see anything as he charged directly at the scholar.


    "Hehe, he really is trying to die," Sacred Lord Dark Soul couldn''t help but mock. Even normal Sacred Lords didn''t dare to completely ignore his soul attack.


    However, the scholar''s expression changed. Zhao Feng''s weird actions made him feel extremely uneasy. What kind of beast tamer in the world would attack a Sacred Lord while ignoring their attacks?


    Others would think that he was courting death, but¡­


    Whoosh!


    The instant the black ripple of light touched Zhao Feng''s soul, Zhao Feng circulated his Soul Intent and protected his soul. However, this obviously wasn''t enough to completely block Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s attack. Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was broken past, and the black ripple of light continued to slice toward Zhao Feng''s soul.


    Hu~


    Countless symbols of God Tribulation Lightning instantly flashed in Zhao Feng''s soul. The symbols of God Tribulation Lightning flowed across Zhao Feng''s soul and crushed the ripple of black light. When others saw what was happening, they would think that Zhao Feng just stood there while the soul attack just disappeared like a rock falling into the ocean.


    "How is this possible?" Sacred Lord Dark Soul felt Zhao Feng circulate his Soul Intent to block his soul attack, but even though Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was strong, it wasn''t enough to block his attack.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s speed didn''t decrease, and he smashed into the scholar''s gold-and-white palms after blocking Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s soul attack.


    Boom!


    The gold-and-white palms were shattered into pieces, and Zhao Feng came flying through the light and smoke.


    "Not good!" The scholar''s expression changed dramatically as he felt a sense of danger. Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s attack and his own attack were easily resolved by Zhao Feng, and now the latter was rushing right at him.


    "White Jade Spirit Sealing Palm!" The scholar instantly used a technique.


    In an instant, time seemed to slow down as if Heaven and Earth had become stuck in a swamp.


    Boom!


    Several golden light palms slammed onto Zhao Feng and instantly reduced his movement speed. Using this chance, the scholar moved backward.


    "Hmm? This technique¡­" Zhao Feng murmured. The palm technique that the scholar used was similar to the Sky Sealing Palm that little Kun Yun had used in the past. However, with the scholar''s level of Intent, it wasn''t enough to threaten Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng used his Sacred Lightning Body again, and a surge of lightning filled the air and started to crackle.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Soul, what''s going on?" the scholar immediately questioned. Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s attack seemed to have no effect on Zhao Feng.


    "Hmph, leave this brat to me." Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s expression became ugly, and he charged at Zhao Feng without giving an explanation.


    This time, he wouldn''t be careless. Zhao Feng blocking his attack so easily made him lose face. Zhao Feng had also escaped from the scholar''s palm Intent.


    Zhao Feng had a calm expression as he looked at Sacred Lord Dark Soul, who was currently charging over, and a dark golden glow glittered in his left eye.


    "Soul Chaos!" A powerful dark purple Soul energy passed through Zhao Feng''s eye and covered Sacred Lord Dark Soul.


    "What strong Eye Intent!" Sacred Lord Dark Soul was stunned. Sacred Lord Dark Soul realized that he was still underestimating Zhao Feng.


    After being hit by Zhao Feng''s technique, Sacred Lord Dark Soul felt his body become light and blurry. His soul started to become chaotic, and his Soul Intent was escaping his control.


    Zhao Feng then sped past Sacred Lord Dark Soul and charged at the scholar.


    "This brat''s eye-bloodline technique is actually effective against me?" Sacred Lord Dark Soul felt his body stop listening to his commands, and then he saw Zhao Feng fly past him. He wanted to unleash an attack, but he couldn''t.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Soul, what the fuck are you doing?" The scholar had an angry expression. Zhao Feng just flew past Sacred Lord Dark Soul, and they didn''t even attack each other.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that the scholar felt a disturbance of Eye Intent coming from Zhao Feng, he would have thought that Sacred Lord Dark Soul was actually a spy placed next to the Seventh Prince. But how could Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique be effective against Sacred Lord Dark Soul?


    "Make the Seventh Prince admit defeat," Zhao Feng''s voice sounded in the scholar''s mind just as he was busy thinking.


    The scholar instantly felt like ten thousand bolts of lightning were crackling in his soul, and his soul started to become numb. When he regained his consciousness, a powerful physical force descended, making him unable to breathe.


    The scholar had a fearful expression as he personally experienced Zhao Feng''s mastery of the soul. He finally understood why Zhao Feng''s techniques were effective against Sacred Lord Dark Soul.


    The scholar immediately started to retreat, and he took out a green talisman that had countless weird marks imprinted on it. A powerful disturbance of Sacred Power appeared and shook Zhao Feng.


    However, from the very beginning, Zhao Feng had seen everything regarding the scholar with his left eye. Zhao Feng had already made his preparations by the time he saw the scholar take out the green talisman.


    "Mental Energy Spike!"


    A cold purple-and-gold crystalline spike shot out of Zhao Feng''s left eye and stabbed into the scholar''s soul.


    "Arghh!" The searing pain in the scholar''s soul stopped his actions, and he couldn''t release the talisman.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s wings fluttered as he sent out a punch, and the terrifying force sent the scholar flying into the city wall. No one knew whether he was dead or alive.


    The little thieving cat then appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and played with a green talisman in its paws.


    "What!?" The Seventh Prince and company on the city wall, who were still fighting against the beast horde, suddenly saw the scholar fly past them, and they immediately looked at the battlefield in shock.


    Sacred Lord Sharp Edge was being stalled by the Ninth Prince''s entire team other than Zhao Feng. Shi Yulei took the main defensive position, and the others all attacked Sacred Lord Sharp Edge, forcing him to go on the defensive. Jiang Hao and Lu Tianqi were covered in silk and surrounded by seven Sky Shaking Golden Apes.


    This meant that the only one that could have sent the scholar flying was Zhao Feng.


    "Arghhh! Zhao Feng, I will kill you!" Sacred Lord Dark Soul roared in anger. Zhao Feng had finished off the scholar right in front of him; this was absolute humiliation.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng harrumphed coldly and turned around to face Sacred Lord Dark Soul. Now that he had finished off the Seventh Prince''s advisor, there would be no more surprises.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" A strong purple-and-gold fire with wisps of dark golden God Tribulation Lightning appeared in Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Whoosh~~~! Boom!


    A transparent ball of Destructive lightning-fire burned across Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s body.


    Sacred Lord Dark Soul felt like ten thousand bolts of lightning were rampaging within his body. Furthermore, the God Tribulation Lightning within the Soul Fire was still spreading.


    However, Sacred Lord Dark Soul was a Sacred Lord that specialized in the soul, so his resistance to the Wind Lightning Eye Flame was quite strong. The instant Sacred Lord Dark Soul recovered, he slashed out with the short gray sword and tried to block Zhao Feng''s attack. A thin arc of black light pieced through the air and shot toward Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    Facing Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s full-strength attack, Zhao Feng unleashed his Soul Intent and clashed heavily against Sacred Lord Dark Soul as limitless lightning appeared.


    The appearance of Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent made everyone fighting feel like thunder was booming and lightning was crackling in their souls.


    "This¡­ this is Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent!?" Jiang Hao couldn''t help but take a couple steps back.


    "So strong! Could he really have finished off the black-robed person by himself?" Lu Tianqi was shocked. The Soul Intent that Zhao Feng was currently displaying wasn''t weaker than Sacred Lord Dark Soul.


    Hu~


    The instant Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent appeared, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly next to him flapped its transparent wings, and a half-transparent pollen formed a whirlwind that swept toward Sacred Lord Dark Soul.


    "Not good! My Mystic Light Sacred Power and my soul power!" Sacred Lord Dark Soul was unable to dodge the wide-ranged attack from the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s pollen could pass through both the physical and soul dimensions, and it was even effective against Sacred Lords.


    Whoosh!


    After the pollen started to affect Sacred Lord Dark Soul, Zhao Feng''s figure flashed and appeared before Sacred Lord Dark Soul.


    "Yin Soul Charge!" Sacred Lord Dark Soul snickered coldly when Zhao Feng got close to him, and his Sacred Lord-level Soul Intent turned into the shape of a ghost and charged forward.


    It was obvious that the pollen wasn''t that effective against Sacred Lord Dark Soul; he was just waiting for Zhao Feng to get close.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly. He ignored Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s soul attack and punched out with his fist.


    The symbols of God Tribulation Lightning within Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body blinked once again and blocked most of the damage from Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s Soul Intent. The damage caused by the remaining Soul Intent that reached Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body was limited.


    Boom!


    Sacred Lord Dark Soul was hit by Zhao Feng''s punch and was slammed into the ground.


    "How is this possible? He managed to block my soul attack again?"


    Since Sacred Lord Dark Soul had a Sacred Body, Zhao Feng''s punch didn''t cause too much damage. However, Zhao Feng''s mastery of the soul truly stunned him.


    Hu~


    The instant Sacred Lord Dark Soul hit the ground, Zhao Feng arrived in front of him and smashed down with his fists once more.


    "Arghh!" Sacred Lord Dark Soul instantly started to scream. He specialized in the soul, so physical attacks were obviously Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s weakness.


    "It''s time to end this!" Zhao Feng''s thunderous voice boomed across the battlefield through everyone''s soul.


    The entire battlefield instantly died down, and the cries emanating from Sacred Lord Dark Soul were now even more obvious.

 974 Entering the City

    Chapter 974 - Entering the City


    "It''s time to end this!" Zhao Feng''s thunderous voice boomed across the battlefield through everyone''s soul.


    The entire battlefield instantly died down, and the cries emanating from Sacred Lord Dark Soul were now even more obvious.


    The members of the Seventh Prince''s team felt their souls darken as lightning crackled.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Soul!" Jiang Hao''s expression changed dramatically as he looked at Sacred Lord Dark Soul, who had been deformed by Zhao Feng.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Soul lost as well¡­." The Seventh Prince was in a daze as he stood above the city wall.


    The fierce aura of the beasts below the city washed over like a tsunami. Even if Sacred Lord Dark Soul hadn''t been defeated by Zhao Feng, the Seventh Prince and company on the city wall wouldn''t have been able to block the deadly charge of the beast horde for much longer.


    "This junior¡­." Sacred Lord Sharp Edge stopped attacking as well and looked at Zhao Feng.


    The reason why the Seventh Prince''s team dared to clash against the Ninth Prince''s team head-on even though there was such a big difference in their beasts was because they had two Sacred Lords.


    However, Sacred Lord Dark Soul and the scholar had been defeated by Zhao Feng alone. No one could imagine what happened in the battle between these three.


    Their attention slowly turned toward the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly and the little thieving cat.


    Everyone knew about the supportive capabilities of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. It was effective even against Sacred Lords. There was most likely something special about the gray cat as well.


    Zhao Feng may have taken out some other spiritual pets during the fight as well. Zhao Feng couldn''t have defeated the scholar and Sacred Lord Dark Soul by himself. However, even if that was the case, Zhao Feng''s strength had still reached a terrifying stage.


    "Zhao Feng!" Shi Yulei revealed an expression of admiration and surprise.


    "This¡­!" Old Ying didn''t know what to say either.


    They had all been acting under Zhao Feng''s orders. They thought that Zhao Feng would be able to stall Sacred Lord Dark Soul and the scholar with his strength, and they just needed to wait for the beasts to break through the city wall.


    However, in just the short while that they were busy blocking Sacred Lord Sharp Edge, Zhao Feng had finished off Sacred Lord Dark Soul and the scholar by himself. Even if Zhao Feng''s injuries had completely recovered, how could he have possibly finished the fight so quickly?


    "You''re not planning to leave? Then I will start a massacre." Zhao Feng''s eyes scanned over the members of the Seventh Prince''s team, and the aura of his Sacred Lightning Body rose dramatically.


    In the hole in front of Zhao Feng lay Sacred Lord Dark Soul, who was still conscious, and he instantly revealed a fearful look. It was obvious that Zhao Feng''s massacre would start with him.


    Hearing this, the members of the Ninth Prince''s team felt their blood boil with excitement while the members of the Seventh Prince''s team had ugly expressions. Zhao Feng definitely had the ability to start a massacre.


    The atmosphere on the battlefield became silent.


    "Your Highness, let''s go." The scholar slowly flew up from behind the city wall. His shirt was ripped, revealing armor beneath it. Even though he had armor on, Zhao Feng''s punch was still devastating.


    "We won''t be able to defeat the Ninth Prince after losing a Sacred Lord. There''s still three days left till the end of the second stage. If we conserve our strength right now, there might still be a chance," the scholar''s voice sounded in the minds of the other members.


    "Lu Tianqi, let''s go." The jade sword in Sacred Lord Sharp Edge''s hand disappeared.


    Lu Tianqi lowered his head in embarrassment and left the battlefield. The Seventh Prince, Zhang Yi, and company also left the city walls.


    From the moment Sacred Lord Dark Soul was defeated, they knew that they had no hope left. They just weren''t willing to accept the reality of being defeated by the Ninth Prince''s team.


    One had to know that, in the ranking of the princes'' chances, the Ninth Prince was ranked seventh, while the Seventh Prince was ranked third.


    "We won." The Ninth Prince looked at the city that contained so many weird buildings.


    He had heard a lot about the things within the Heaven''s Legacy Cities, but he had never been in one before.


    On top of that, the four Heaven''s Legacy Cities were where the third stage ¨C the clash between princes ¨C would be held. This meant that, as of right now, the Ninth Prince had the right to participate in the clash between princes.


    "Quick, let''s go in." The main reason Old Ying was participating in the Crown Prince trial was to help the Ninth Prince, but right now, even he was slightly impatient. He had also never been in a Heaven''s Legacy City, and there would definitely be a lot of intel and ancient secrets within it.


    The members of the Ninth Prince''s team entered the Heaven''s Legacy City with excitement, and the situation of the four Heaven''s Legacy Cities changed for the first time. The one that left was the Seventh Prince and the one that entered was the Ninth Prince.


    "The Seventh Prince lost."


    "Zhao Feng''s beast horde has the ability to decide the victor."


    "No, the important thing is that Sacred Lord Dark Soul was defeated by Zhao Feng personally."


    Many experts from the three princes'' side were stunned. None of them had thought this would be the result. They hadn''t even taken down the Eighth Prince''s Heaven''s Legacy City yet with their tripartite alliance, but the Ninth Prince had defeated the Seventh Prince, who was ranked even higher, on his own.


    "Brother Second Prince, should we change our target and attack the Ninth Prince instead?" the Fifth Prince asked carefully.


    The Seventh Prince''s team and the Ninth Prince''s team had both just undergone a big battle. Their beast horde should have sustained some casualties, and some of the members should be injured.


    "No, they still have too many beasts, and Zhao Feng''s personal strength is not weaker than normal Sacred Lords." The Second Prince faintly shook his head.


    When the owner of a Heaven''s Legacy City changed, the city would close for a day, so they couldn''t attack even if they wanted to. In this period of time, the Ninth Prince''s team might buy even more beasts or a defensive array. Furthermore, the Seventh Prince wouldn''t give up so easily.


    The Second Prince and company had to act carefully.


    "Hmph, this is even better. After all, the third stage isn''t about the beasts. The Ninth Prince will be less of a threat." The Thirteenth Prince pretended that he didn''t care, and he harrumphed coldly in his Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "What power!" Yu Tianhao''s eyes were trained on Zhao Feng the whole time, so he had seen Zhao Feng''s display in the fight. Although Zhao Feng had to re-cultivate and was just a King right now, his strength was even more terrifying than before.


    There were many metallic rooms not far away from the city gates, and they were there to let the members rest. The Ninth Prince walked into one of the rooms and pressed his pseudo Crown Prince Seal down onto a stone tablet. The gates of the Heaven''s Legacy City instantly started to close.


    "This defensive mechanism will only last for one day. There''s still three days left till the second stage ends. Don''t be off guard," Old Ying said.


    Zhao Feng faintly nodded his head. This rule was very logical; it allowed everyone that had just experienced a big fight to rest.


    "Okay, everyone can do whatever they want and find their own fortune now, but all of you must gather here the day after tomorrow," Old Ying said in an excited tone before rushing off.


    The others then left and scouted out this unique city.


    Outside and inside the Heaven''s Legacy City were like two different worlds. This place was peaceful, calm, glorious, and mysterious. Battle and danger would never appear here.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat was extremely excited as it led the way for Zhao Feng.


    Like last time, they first went to a book store and bought a map of the city. Zhao Feng roughly scanned over it and found that this Heaven''s Legacy City was slightly smaller than the one in the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land, but after remembering that there were four Heaven''s Legacy Cities here, he didn''t think about it too much.


    "Let''s go to the Spiritual Pet Garden first," Zhao Feng told the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat was helpless. All of the resources that they had obtained in this ancient dimension were under Zhao Feng''s control, so it could only follow Zhao Feng.


    "May I ask if you need us to take care of your pets, or do you want to train some pets?" A short elder automaton slowly walked over.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He could understand what taking care of the pets meant; it meant that he could leave his spiritual pets here and let the Spiritual Pet Garden take care of them and heal them. But what did "training the pets" mean?


    "Spiritual pet training involves using unique methods to train your pet and strengthen certain aspects or give them new abilities," the elder gave a faint smile and explained.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head to show that he understood. Training meant unleashing the potential within the spiritual pet.


    However, Zhao Feng felt that it was better to just infuse a powerful bloodline instead. This was more effective and didn''t require as much time.


    "I need three Emperor-level flying spiritual pets," Zhao Feng told him.


    "Sure." The elder reached out and pointed with his finger. A white screen with countless images of beasts appeared. These images quickly flashed by until only a few flying Emperor-level spiritual pets were left behind.


    "This price¡­" Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed slightly.


    The beasts on the screen were extremely rare, but they were much more expensive than the other Heaven''s Legacy City he went to.


    However, since Zhao Feng was wealthy now, he didn''t try negotiating with the old man over the three Emperor-level spiritual pets.


    At the end, Zhao Feng picked three relatively normal flying pets.


    Three pieces of Dragon Jade appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand after he left the Spiritual Pet Garden. The three flying spiritual pets each grabbed one with their claws.


    Whoosh!


    The three spiritual pets instantly flew into the sky and left the Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "Those are the last three pieces of Dragon Jade," Zhao Feng said gently.


    Ever since entering the Imperial Tombs, Zhao Feng had obtained a total of eight Dragon Jades from other groups. When he was with Zhou Su''er, Zhao Feng had given four pieces of Dragon Jade to the ancient Yao bird and three random flying beasts he had tamed in the Imperial Tombs. After meeting up with Old Ying, Zhao Feng tamed a black eagle and gave it another piece of Dragon jade.


    Since time was tight after meeting with Shen Jizi''s group, Zhao Feng had no time to find any other flying beasts. Now that he had entered the Heaven''s Legacy City, Zhao Feng could now get rid of the last three pieces of Dragon Jade.


    "I hope that these spiritual pets will be able to give me a surprise." Zhao Feng smiled faintly as he murmured to himself.


    Dragon Jade could only absorb the draconic providence around itself. Zhao Feng holding onto nine pieces of Dragon Jade wouldn''t change the total amount of draconic providence he could obtain. Therefore, Zhao Feng made the decision to use these flying beasts to gather draconic providence right from the beginning.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped in front of Zhao Feng.


    "You want to go to the forge?" Zhao Feng understood what the little thieving cat meant.


    Since there was a lot of time, Zhao Feng decided to go with the little thieving cat.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat leapt into a tall building.


    The forge mainly created specific items or strengthened them.


    "What can I do for you?" a middle-aged dark-skinned male asked.

 975 Big Expenditure

    Chapter 975 - Big Expenditure


    "What can I do for you?" A middle-aged dark-skinned male looked at the little thieving cat and spoke with interest.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat took the dark golden chain around its neck, which then turned into a dark golden dragon-snake whip and twirled in the air.


    "Merge a dragon tendon into this weapon?" The dark-skinned middle-aged male understood what the little thieving cat meant.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped into the Misty Spatial World and took out several items that Zhao Feng had obtained in this ancient dimension.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. The materials that the little thieving cat took out were all quite valuable.


    "The forge tower does have dragon tendon, but this is the price." A dark hand pointed, and a screen containing many types of dragon tendon appeared. The price next to them was enough to make a normal Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord go broke.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat looked at Zhao Feng with begging eyes, and he obviously knew what the little thieving cat wanted. Dragon tendon was the main material needed to strengthen the dark golden dragon-snake whip, and its value easily surpassed the items that the little thieving cat just took out of the Misty Spatial World.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head helplessly. The little thieving cat then picked out a large amount of resources and Primal Crystal Stones from the Misty Spatial World in order to pay the fee for the dragon tendon.


    Zhao Feng was surprised. The cost was almost ten times the amount he had paid to strengthen the little thieving cat''s Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger. However, since Zhao Feng''s wealth was completely different than before, he could afford it.


    Several hours later, the dark-skinned middle-aged automaton took out the dark golden dragon-snake whip from a mysterious furnace. The red glow of heat slowly faded away from the surface of the whip, and it glowed with a bright color. The dragon-snake whip seemed to be more agile than before.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat grabbed it and merged a surge of silver light into it. The dark golden dragon-snake whip instantly started to move, and it twisted into a dark golden bow.


    The little thieving cat aimed the dark golden long bow at Zhao Feng and gently tugged the bowstring, as if showing off to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng paused. The dark golden dragon-snake whip''s abilities seemed to have changed a lot.


    Zhao Feng hesitated for a while before leaving the forge tower. For now, there was nothing he wanted to strengthen. Zhao Feng hadn''t even fully controlled the Sky Locking Bow yet, and the Ice Imperial Spear had reached its limit. Besides, the price of strengthening weapons and equipment would also cost Zhao Feng a lot.


    "I''ll first do what I need to. If I have any money remaining, I can consider strengthening the Sky Locking Bow." Zhao Feng planned.


    After all, he didn''t know how long it would be till the next time he arrived in a Heaven''s Legacy City. Right now, he was extremely rich, and many items he had were of no use to him. It was best to just spend everything while he was here.


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat went to the Divine Technique Palace next.


    The Divine Technique Palace sold skills and techniques, and it also gave answers to cultivation problems. Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body were created in the Divine Technique Palace of the other Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "Guests from afar, are there any special cultivation techniques you want?" An elegant elder made of white light gave a kind smile and looked at the little thieving cat with surprise.


    "I want a technique that can steal a soul-form eye," Zhao Feng said.


    The Eye of Death was a Soul-type eye just like his God Eye, and it was extremely strong. If he could use the Eye of Death wisely, Zhao Feng was willing to do so.


    "From the looks of it, this guest should have obtained an inheritance relating to the Eight Great God Eyes." A faint light flashed in the elegant elder''s eyes.


    "That''s right." Zhao Feng was secretly surprised. This elder should be just a mechanical puppet of the Divine Technique Palace, but it was actually able to guess that he had inherited an eye related to the Eight Great God Eyes. That was pretty incredible.


    "Guest, there''s no need to be surprised. All of the inheritances related to the Eight Great God Eyes are soul-based. I can also feel a unique eye-bloodline aura from you." The elegant elder made of white light smiled.


    "Guest, please choose which one you want." The elegant elder pointed, and a screen containing several techniques flashed and disappeared until only soul-based eye stealing techniques remained. The screen then moved forward until it arrived just before Zhao Feng.


    "So expensive!" Zhao Feng was shocked by the prices of these secret techniques.


    There was a total of eight eye-stealing techniques here, and the price for each of them was higher than the cost to strengthen the little thieving cat''s dark golden dragon-snake whip.


    "Guest, all these secret techniques have strict requirements and are hard to sell. This is already the lowest price." The elegant elder shook his head.


    Even in the continent zone, not many people needed eye-stealing techniques. The elegant elder didn''t need to trick Zhao Feng.


    Putting aside the fact that eye-bloodlines were already rare, most were physical-based and could be stolen just by obtaining the actual eyeball. The soul was very dangerous to mess with, so even if someone managed to obtain a soul-based eye, they wouldn''t dare to easily try a transplant.


    Zhao Feng carefully read the information on the screen. He decided that, as long as it was safe and guaranteed to be successful, he wouldn''t care about the price.


    "I want the Soul Eye Refining Technique." Zhao Feng''s gaze finally landed on a certain place, and he instantly took in a deep breath after looking at the price. This would cost him almost 30% of his total wealth.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng''s wealth had been accumulating since he entered the Divine Illusion Dimension and all through the Imperial Tombs. He even acquired a giant pile of treasure in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground.


    Even normal Sacred Kings might not be as rich as Zhao Feng, but just one secret technique would cost Zhao Feng almost 30% of his wealth. It was hard to imagine how valuable this Soul Eye Refining Technique was.


    However, if he could perfectly use the Eye of Death, then it would completely worth it.


    "Guest, the Soul Eye Refining Technique is the best amongst these secret techniques." The elder gave a bright smile and praised Zhao Feng for his good eyes, then he took out a book made of light from a nearby bookstand sealed by arrays and handed it over to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered the incomplete Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique just as he was about to leave. If he could obtain the true Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, then Zhao Feng obviously wouldn''t needlessly try to analyze it himself. Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was a low-tier Heaven-grade technique, so it should be relatively cheap in a place like this.


    "Do you have the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "I do have the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique." The elder smiled confidently before taking out a book made of light and telling Zhao Feng his price.


    "That''s far too expensive!" Zhao Feng said directly.


    The price of the complete Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique also surpassed the price of strengthening the little thieving cat''s dark golden dragon-snake whip. Zhao Feng didn''t understand.


    "Little friend, since you know about this technique, you must know its value as well. This is a mid-tier Heaven-grade technique. The price is very fair¡­." The elder talked to Zhao Feng for a long time and acted like this was already the lowest price.


    "Mid-tier Heaven-grade?" Zhao Feng faltered. He didn''t expect the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to be a mid-tier Heaven-grade technique.


    Back then, Duanmu Qing wasn''t sure about which grade the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was, and he only said that it might have reached Heaven grade. If it really was a mid-tier Heaven-grade technique, the price wasn''t too high.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng also remembered that the Heaven''s Legacy City he visited before was in desperate need of Primal Crystal Stones so it could continue functioning, so all of its services and goods were discounted.


    On the other hand, the Heaven''s Legacy Cities within the Imperial Tombs didn''t need anything at all. Many princes and experts would enter these cities every five hundred years and spend almost all of their wealth, resulting in slow inflation.


    This meant that the price in this Heaven''s Legacy City would be more expensive than the one in the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land even if the latter didn''t have a discount.


    "Fine, I''ll buy it," Zhao Feng said through gritted teeth. He then took out a large amount of wealth to buy the complete Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    "Little friend, there''s also a subsequent skill for the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. Do you want to have a look at it?"


    Seeing Zhao Feng act in such a straightforward manner, the elder gave a faint smile and continued to sell products to Zhao Feng. Someone who wanted the top-tier techniques had finally come; he wouldn''t let Zhao Feng go so easily.


    "What? A technique subsequent to the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique?" Zhao Feng stopped. He hadn''t heard his master mention such a thing before. Even though the Duanmu Family had the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, they probably didn''t know that there was a subsequent technique.


    "Yes, the creator of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique created another soul-cultivating technique." The elder introduced to Zhao Feng.


    "Soul-cultivating technique?"


    Zhao Feng started to think. He would probably be able to reach the level of ten thousand thoughts soon, so he would need a better soul-training technique.


    The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was indeed the most highly-ranked soul-cultivating technique he had seen. If there was a subsequent technique to the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, its grade should pretty high, but Zhao Feng didn''t dare to think about the price for it.


    Zhao Feng also wanted to try to learn about the other uses of his Lightning Soul Body, and soul-cultivating techniques were the most direct method. Zhao Feng couldn''t help but feel slightly tempted.


    "Can you introduce the contents of it to me?"


    Zhao Feng suddenly felt like he wasn''t actually that rich.


    "This technique is a soul-refining technique called the Soul Splitting Technique. There''s also some other secret techniques involved, but I won''t be telling you any more information." The elder didn''t reveal too much information, he just gave Zhao Feng a mysterious smile. At the same time, he told Zhao Feng the price for the Soul Splitting Technique.


    "That seems to be very cheap." Zhao Feng was a bit suspicious. If it was written by the same expert that created the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, it couldn''t be too bad. However, the price was even lower than the complete Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    At this moment, the little thieving cat threw several bronze coins into the air.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat supported Zhao Feng in buying the Soul Splitting Technique.


    "Okay, I''ll buy the Soul Splitting Technique as well then."

 976 Soul Splitting Technique

    Chapter 976 - Soul Splitting Technique


    Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and took out a large amount of Primal Crystal Stones in order to buy the Soul Splitting Technique.


    The elegant elder then handed over another book of light into Zhao Feng''s hand.


    Weng~


    The contents inside the book of light soon merged into Zhao Feng''s mind.


    Zhao Feng roughly scanned over it, and his expression instantly became ugly.


    He had been scammed by this elder. The Soul Splitting Technique and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique were indeed by the same author, but while it did contain some soul techniques, the Soul Splitting Technique was incomplete.


    However, what made Zhao Feng especially speechless was that the Soul Splitting Technique only had one level. Although it was incomplete¡­ this was a bit too incomplete.


    Zhao Feng had been scammed, but the elder hadn''t ever lied to Zhao Feng. One could only say that Zhao Feng underestimated this machine.


    At this instant, all the contents of the Soul Splitting Technique were in Zhao Feng''s mind. It was impossible to return it.


    Zhao Feng now understood why the Soul Splitting Technique was cheaper than the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. Zhao Feng became angry and inspected the elegant elder in front of him. All businesses in the world ¨C including ones run by machines ¨C were indeed liars.


    The elder revealed an apologetic smile when he saw Zhao Feng''s expression; "Guest, although the Soul Splitting Technique is incomplete, it will be at least a peak Heaven-grade technique if you manage to complete it. Therefore, even though the Soul Splitting Technique only has one level, it''s very cheap."


    Zhao Feng half-doubted and half-believed what the elder said. Since the Soul Splitting Technique only had one level, it was hard for Zhao Feng to analyze the rest even with his God''s Eye.


    However, Zhao Feng''s eyes immediately shifted, "Can the Divine Technique Palace complete the Soul Splitting Technique for me?"


    If the Soul Splitting Technique was as the elder described and could reach the peak Heaven grade, Zhao Feng was willing to buy an upgrade if the price was reasonable. After all, he had already bought the first level.


    "The contents of the Soul Splitting Technique are unique, and we lack similar skills to compare it to. The Divine Technique Palace can complete it, but we can''t guarantee its safety or its effect. Furthermore, the price would be a lot higher than the other soul-cultivating techniques." The elder thought for a while before replying.


    As soon as the elder finished speaking, Zhao Feng had already started to leave with the little thieving cat. Soul-cultivating techniques were already risky. If the Divine Technique Palace couldn''t guarantee its safety, Zhao Feng obviously had to think it through extensively.


    One had to know that the Soul Eye Refining Technique alone had cost Zhao Feng almost 30% of his total wealth. Zhao Feng would be crazy if he spent another 30% to buy a technique that he might not even be able to cultivate.


    Zhao Feng glanced at the little thieving cat after leaving the Divine Technique Palace.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat revealed an innocent expression, as if saying that it didn''t know anything. The divination result said that it was a good choice, which is why it supported Zhao Feng in buying the Soul Splitting Technique.


    Zhao Feng then went to the Ten Thousand Blood Palace after leaving the Divine Techniques Palace.


    The Ten Thousand Blood Palace was a place even more highly-ranked than the Divine Techniques Palace. No one could resist the temptation of the bloodlines within the Ten Thousand Blood Palace.


    "May I ask if you want to strengthen your bloodline or implant a bloodline?" An elegant female constructed of blood-colored light smiled at Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    "I want to strengthen my bloodline to a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races."


    Zhao Feng had been here before, so he was familiar with the abilities here.


    "Sure, I''ll first need to check your bloodline before strengthening it," the elegant female made of blood-colored light said with a smile.


    Zhao Feng then sat in front of a multi-armed machine. The multi-armed machine then extended a pointy needle and tube and stabbed into Zhao Feng''s body.


    "An unknown eye-bloodline has been detected. Unable to be strengthened. Detected an ancient Ice and Water bloodline, a Fire-elemental bloodline, a blood-related bloodline, and genes of the Ancient Bloodline. The ancient Ice and Water bloodline is relatively weak, so it''s best to strengthen the Fire-elemental or the blood-related bloodline.


    "The bloodlines that they can be strengthened to are the Lightning Fire Ancient Dragon Race, the Fire God Race, or the Ancient Blood Race. Since you have a strong bloodline foundation and have genes of the Ancient Bloodline, the price is only 50% of the total amount." The elegant female revealed a weird expression as she told Zhao Feng the report.


    "50%?" Zhao Feng was surprised. He remembered that he had only paid 10% of the total price to strengthen his bloodline to the Mystic Ice Scaled Race in the other Heaven''s Legacy City. This meant that Zhao Feng would have to pay 5 times as much compared to before.


    Zhao Feng then thought about the bloodlines that the elegant female mentioned. Almost all of them were ranked in the top one hundred of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and they were much stronger than the Mystic Ice Scaled Race bloodline. The Lightning Fire Ancient Dragon Race and the Fire God Race were both in the top fifty.


    Zhao Feng thought for a moment before understanding. His perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline was very strong even when compared to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, which is why the rankings of the races he could upgrade to were so high. However, this meant that the price he would have to pay would be very high.


    "How much does it cost to strengthen to the bloodline of the Lightning Fire Ancient Dragon bloodline?" Zhao Feng hesitated for a while before asking. Before entering the city, Zhao Feng thought that he had countless resources and wouldn''t be able to finish using them. Now he had to think and calculate carefully.


    The female pointed her finger, and a screen with information regarding the Lightning Fire Ancient Dragon bloodline as well as how pure Zhao Feng''s bloodline would be appeared. At the very bottom of it was the price.


    "In reality, with your unique Fire-elemental bloodline and foundation, you could upgrade your bloodline to the Ancient Golden Crown Race bloodline, which is ranked 9th. However, the Ten Thousand Blood Palace doesn''t have that bloodline. If you have it, we can upgrade your bloodline for free," the female looked at the little thieving cat and said.


    "Golden Crow Race!"


    Zhao Feng''s heart shook. His perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline could indeed absorb the power of the ancient golden crow, but he never would have imagined that it could be upgraded to the genuine Golden Crow bloodline.


    However, how could Zhao Feng possibly have the bloodline of an ancient golden crow? As far as he knew, there seemed to be only one golden crow remaining in the Fan Universe ¨C the sun. It was a terrifying race that even experts at the Heavenly Divine Realm didn''t dare to approach. This female was definitely joking with him.


    Right now, the Lightning Fire Ancient Dragon bloodline was the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline that most suited Zhao Feng, but it was ranked 43rd, and the price to upgrade his bloodline was counted by substandard God Crystals.


    Zhao Feng thought for a while. Even if he spent all his wealth within his Misty Spatial World, it still wouldn''t be enough.


    At the very end, Zhao Feng didn''t choose to strengthen his bloodline.


    Firstly, his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body both still required a large amount of resources to cultivate.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng also wanted to make his own force. The resources required to maintain his own force easily surpassed the resources he needed for himself.


    Thirdly, Zhao Feng now had a large beast horde. Although he wasn''t thinking about all of them, he at least wanted to raise some of them, such as the Five Poison Distinct Bees, the Sky Shaking Golden Apes, and some others.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng couldn''t spend everything on himself.


    "Do you have any Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline that''s suitable for Sky Shaking Golden Apes?" Zhao Feng asked.


    Even though he wasn''t planning to strengthen his own bloodline, he could still strength the bloodlines of some of his pets, and the Sky Shaking Golden Apes had huge potential.


    The female made of blood-colored light started to test the Sky Shaking Golden Apes.


    "The Sky Shaking Golden Apes can be strengthened in two different aspects. One is speed and the other is power. The bloodlines can be¡­" The elegant female gave Zhao Feng a simple summary, and a screen appeared before him.


    "Strengthen it to the bloodline of the Power Force Apes."


    Zhao Feng chose to strengthen the Sky Shaking Golden Apes with power-type bloodlines. The Power Force Apes bloodline could almost double the strength of the Sky Shaking Golden Apes, and it increased their defense as well. It was ranked in the four hundreds among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, so the price wasn''t very high. Furthermore, since the Sky Shaking Golden Apes were beasts from this dimension, they also had genes from the Ancient Race, meaning that the price could be discounted.


    "Seven Sky Shaking Golden Apes will need seven days'' time," the female said.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and left the Sky Shaking Golden Apes here as he prepared to leave.


    "Zhao Feng!" Shi Yulei entered the Ten Thousand Blood Palace and revealed a surprised expression. He didn''t think that Zhao Feng would be so fast.


    The first place he had tried to find was the Ten Thousand Blood Palace, where he could import a bloodline or strengthen his existing bloodline.


    "Zhao Feng, with your perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, you shouldn''t need to come here." Shi Yulei laughed.


    Zhao Feng''s perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline was a bloodline that could be ranked within the top ten of Imperial Dao bloodlines.


    "En, I''m just strengthening my spiritual pets'' bloodlines." Zhao Feng faintly shook his head. He actually really wanted the Lightning Fire Ancient Dragon bloodline, but alas¡­


    "What? Strengthening the bloodline of your pets?" Shi Yulei''s mouth fell open. He had borrowed a lot of resources from his family to come here for himself, but even then, he might not have enough to strengthen his bloodline once. On the other hand, Zhao Feng was strengthening the bloodlines of his spiritual pets?


    However, it was most likely a normal bloodline. Shi Yulei felt a lot better when he thought about it like this.


    "I''ll be going around to some other places now." Zhao Feng said goodbye to Shi Yulei.


    Zhao Feng took out the map after leaving the Ten Thousand Blood Palace.


    "We''ll go to the Divine Herb Tower next."


    Most of the herbs and pills that Zhao Feng had obtained in the Imperial Tombs weren''t ones he needed. Furthermore, the little thieving cat also wanted to go to the Divine Herb Tower.


    The Divine Herb Tower was extremely big ¨C even bigger than the Ten Thousand Blood Palace. They had every herb one needed, and they were all stored in different environments to maintain their good condition. Apart from pills and herbs, they also had medicinal liquid stored in half-transparent tubes.


    "Guest, do you need herbs, medicine, or specially-made items?" A female made of green light slowly walked over.


    "You can make specific items?" Zhao Feng was surprised, but he didn''t need anything in this aspect.


    In the end, Zhao Feng traded many of his resources for those related to Wind, Lightning, and Fire.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye and his Blood Devil Sun bloodline could refine herbs extremely easily on their own. This meant that he didn''t need to buy the more expensive pills or medicinal solutions.


    "These should be enough for me to cultivate to the Mystic Light Realm." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    The little thieving cat bought many resources it needed as well.


    The Divine Herb Tower was indeed a great place. One could trade resources for resources without worrying about other fees.


    "I still have some resources remaining. Maybe I can think about strengthening the Sky Locking Bow."

 977 Soul Tracking

    Chapter 977 - Soul Tracking


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat headed toward the forge once more after leaving the Divine Herb Tower.


    Zhao Feng saw Zhou Su''er enter the Divine Herb Tower not long after he left, and Old Ying was in a bookstore. At this moment in time, everyone was finding their own fortune.


    "What can I do for you?" The dark-skinned male looked at Zhao Feng.


    "Can you have a look at this weapon of mine?"


    A dark silver bow with mysterious tadpole-like markings on it appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    "This weapon is perfectly fine, and all of its aspects are top-tier. There are many abilities that can be added to it, but since you specialize in the soul, not many abilities or effects will be very useful for you." The dark-skinned male closely inspected the Sky Locking Bow.


    Zhao Feng''s expression turned to surprise, and he admired this machine. The dark-skinned male had analyzed the forte of the user as well as the weapon.


    Zhao Feng cultivated many different elemental techniques. However, even if he gave the Sky Locking Bow something related to Wind, Lightning, or Fire, the overall increase in strength to the Sky Locking Bow would be limited. Therefore, Zhao Feng wanted to give the Sky Locking Bow some abilities regarding the soul.


    "I suggest you give this weapon a soul tracking effect. It is extremely suitable for you." The dark-skinned male closely inspected Zhao Feng''s left eye before saying this.


    "Soul tracking?" Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He could make some guesses, but he wasn''t entirely sure what ability that would be from the name alone.


    "Simply put, with soul tracking, you can use this bow to shoot and kill anyone you can sense with your soul." The dark-skinned blacksmith revealed a confident smile.


    "Shoot and kill anyone I can sense with my soul?"


    Zhao Feng was surprised. The Sky Locking Bow already had the soul tracking ability; even if the enemy had escaped very far away, he could still shoot them. However, the prerequisite was that Zhao Feng had to lock onto them with the Sky Locking Bow first.


    The soul tracking that the dark-skinned blacksmith talked about meant that Zhao Feng just needed to leave a mark on someone with his eye-bloodline. As long as Zhao Feng could sense the position of this mark, he could shoot them with his Sky Locking Bow.


    For example, if Zhao Feng had left a mark with his God Eye on Sacred Lord Black Demon, he could shoot him right now from inside the city.


    This method was rather easy, but also rather mysterious.


    "That''s right. Because this bow''s targeting ability is already extremely unique, you can strengthen it to soul tracking...."


    The dark-skinned blacksmith nodded his head and explained once more. Not all weapons could have this ability. It was only because the Sky Locking Bow already had a powerful targeting ability that it was able to.


    Soul tracking was just upgrading the Sky Locking Bow''s original skill. Of course, the cost of this upgrade was still very expensive.


    "Okay, I''ll upgrade it." Zhao Feng decisively paid the amount. What the dark-skinned male said persuaded Zhao Feng.


    "You can come back two days later to collect it." The dark-skinned male put the Sky Locking Bow into a large black furnace and spoke.


    "I also want some arrows that are suitable for this bow." Zhao Feng thought for a moment before continuing.


    At this point, the other fortune within the Heaven''s Legacy City wasn''t important anymore. If he was able to obtain some powerful arrows that were compatible with the Sky Locking Bow, it would become one of Zhao Feng''s hidden cards on top of the God Slaying Arrow.


    Even if Zhao Feng broke through to the Mystic Light Realm, he still might not be able to completely use the power of the God Slaying Arrow. He barely managed to release the first arrow when killing the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord last time, and it almost killed him. The most important point though was that Zhao Feng only had one God Slaying Arrow left.


    "What kind of arrows do you need? You can give me a few simple requirements, and I can craft them perfectly. If you have a drawing or a blueprint of the arrow you want me to make, the price can be a bit cheaper," the dark-skinned male said excitedly. If there was a blueprint or an example of the weapon here, it would reduce the amount of time and effort needed, thus the lower price.


    Zhao Feng''s expression became slightly grim. He obviously didn''t have a blueprint or drawing, but he did have an arrow¡­.


    "Have a look at this."


    A scarlet-golden arrow appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    The instant the God Slaying Arrow appeared, a sharp metallic glow filled the area and caused the items within the forge to start trembling. However, this piercing aura only appeared in the forge; no one outside could sense it.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be shocked. It seemed like this forge was not simple ¨C it could even block the power of a substandard God weapon.


    "This is the God Slaying Arrow." Red light shot out of the dark-skinned blacksmith''s eyes. He obviously knew of such a famous substandard God weapon.


    "I don''t need more God Slaying Arrows. I just want a few arrows based on it, but that are a bit weaker."


    Zhao Feng believed that the forge tower within a Heaven''s Legacy City had the ability to create substandard God weapons, but Zhao Feng couldn''t afford one.


    One had to know that, generally speaking, substandard God weapons were weapons that only Demigods could control. Their value was immeasurable. Furthermore, the time that Zhao Feng was staying in the Heaven''s Legacy City was limited. Making a substandard God weapon would probably take a lot of time.


    "Sure. Please give the God Slaying Arrow to me. I will first need to analyze the structure and make a blueprint of this weapon. It might take a while." The dark-skinned blacksmith looked at Zhao Feng solemnly.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng didn''t hesitate at all. He definitely wouldn''t agree to handing over the God Slaying Arrow in the outside world. Zhao Feng wouldn''t have even taken it out in the first place. However, this was a Heaven''s Legacy City run by automatons.


    The dark-skinned blacksmith took the God Slaying Arrow and led Zhao Feng to the tenth floor where he put the arrow into a complex compartment.


    Four hours later, the dark-skinned blacksmith took out the God Slaying Arrow and handed it back to Zhao Feng. He then pointed his finger into the air, and a screen instantly appeared.


    "Please have a look. According to the structure of the God Slaying Arrow, there are a few types of arrow that can be made."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes instantly scanned over the screen. There were twenty-six drawings of an arrow on the screen, ranging from normal Emperor-level arrows to the God Slaying Arrow itself.


    "As I thought, they can even make the God Slaying Arrow."


    Zhao Feng took a deep breath and continued to read through the descriptions.


    These twenty-six types of arrow were all one-time-use items, and since Zhao Feng had provided the God Slaying Arrow as well, the price was relatively cheap.


    In the end, Zhao Feng finally chose three arrows. The amount of Primal Crystal Stones and materials he paid was greater than the total wealth of a late-stage Sacred Lord''s inheritance.


    "You can come back two days later to collect the arrows and the bow." The dark-skinned male revealed a joyful smile.


    Zhao Feng headed toward the city wall after leaving the forge. There were more than a dozen rooms here, but no one else had returned yet.


    Zhao Feng chose a room close to the side and opened the protective array around it.


    The little thieving cat jumped into the Misty Spatial World. It had gained a lot from the Heaven''s Legacy City as well.


    "I''ll first have a look at the Soul Splitting Technique."


    Zhao Feng still hoped that he could make use of this incomplete technique. After all, the elder from the Divine Techniques Palace had given this technique a good rating. If what the elder said was true, this Soul Splitting Technique was different from other soul-based secret techniques.


    Zhao Feng spent some time and read through the Soul Splitting Technique.


    "This technique is indeed very interesting."


    Zhao Feng was completely absorbed by the contents.


    The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique trained one to split their mind, and the Soul Splitting Technique tried to split the soul. Zhao Feng had never seen an idea similar to this even in the Demigod Forgotten Garden or Xie Yang Palace, but the idea made his eyes light up.


    However, there was only one level in the Soul Splitting Technique. Only a part of the second level had been written. There was also a warning written on it by the author; "From the experience of others, anyone whose soul isn''t strong enough will find it difficult to cultivate the first level."


    Zhao Feng was speechless. In other words, no one had ever succeeded cultivating the first level. Zhao Feng even had a suspicion that the author died after trying to cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique themselves.


    "Looks like I''ll have to put the Soul Splitting Technique on hold. Maybe when I''m stronger, I''ll be able to complete this technique."


    Zhao Feng liked the idea of this technique, but it was a little dangerous at the moment.


    After putting away the Soul Splitting Technique, Zhao Feng then merged his consciousness into the Soul Eye Refining Technique.


    The Soul Eye Refining Technique was one of the eye-stealing techniques with the highest rate of success.


    While learning about the Soul Eye Refining Technique, Zhao Feng also circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and used the power of the God Tribulation Lightning to get rid of the Death Intent within the Eye of Death.


    Half a day later:


    "This seems pretty simple. I can start it already."


    Zhao Feng could completely understand the Soul Eye Refining Technique.


    This secret technique required the user to utilize their soul and slowly refine the eye until the characteristics of the eye changed. The closer the cultivation between the user and the eye, the easier it was to refine. When the characteristics of the soul eye were halfway compatible with the user''s soul, they could try to assimilate it.


    Luckily, the Emperor of Death was a Quasi-Sacred Lord, so the level of this Eye of Death was almost the same as Zhao Feng.


    "I can start refining it now."


    Zhao Feng merged his consciousness into the dimension of his left eye. The Eye of Death floated quietly above the mysterious golden ball. Zhao Feng had already forced out all the Death Intent within it.


    Zhao Feng then used the Soul Eye Refining Technique and transformed his Eye Intent into a unique Soul Flame to slowly refine the Eye of Death.


    A day''s time soon passed, and all of the members of the Ninth Prince''s team had spent almost all their savings. Everyone regretted not conquering a few more inheritances.


    Shen Jizi bought an extremely profound array from the array tower and set it up outside the city wall.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes on the second day.


    "I didn''t think that everything would progress so smoothly."


    Zhao Feng was pretty surprised. In just two days'' time, he realized that the Eye of Death was already 50% compatible with him. This meant that Zhao Feng could prepare for the next step.

 978 Repulsion

    Chapter 978 - Repulsion


    In just two days'' time, the Eye of Death was already 50% compatible with him. This speed surpassed what Zhao Feng had imagined.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng''s figure disappeared from the metallic room and entered the Little World of the Misty Spatial World.


    Weng~~


    A ripple of water appeared in front of Zhao Feng''s eyes, and the black Eye of Death floated out.


    "Unfortunately, I don''t specialize in the laws of Death¡­." Zhao Feng sighed.


    The Eye of Death was, without a doubt, a powerful inheritance of the Eight Great God Eyes. It countered all living beings, including souls. In particular, Soul-based eye-bloodline techniques would become extremely powerful when used through the Eyes of Death.


    However, the prerequisite was that the holder had to reach a certain amount of understanding in the laws of Death.


    Zhao Feng had merged with God Tribulation Lightning, so he knew a little about the laws of Destruction, so the Eye of Destruction was more suitable for Zhao Feng.


    However, Zhao Feng wasn''t willing to just throw away this Eye of Death.


    "I should merge it into my right eye."


    Zhao Feng came to a conclusion. His left eye already had the God''s Spiritual Eye, and he had no idea what would happen if he merged the Eye of Death with his left eye.


    Zhao Feng would rather destroy the Eye of Death and return it to the Emperor of Death than risk an accident happening to his God Eye. After all, it was the God''s Spiritual Eye that had changed his destiny and matured with him.


    "Let''s start."


    Zhao Feng''s expression became serious as he released a surge of powerful Soul Intent, covered the Eye of Death, and merged it into his body. He then slowly moved it toward the position of his right eye.


    "Merge!"


    A wave of soul power appeared and turned into a gray-purple flame, just as the Soul Eye Refining Technique said.


    Zhao Feng was going to refine the Eye of Death with his own soul so the two would have properties in common. This would allow him to merge the Eye of Death into his soul.


    Once he succeeded, all he needed to do was proceed according to the Soul Eye Refining Technique and refine the Eye of Death over time. The two would completely merge with one another very soon. At that point in time, the Eye of Death would be Zhao Feng''s.


    Weng~ Weng~


    The Eye of Death appeared at the position of Zhao Feng''s right eye, and a gray-purple flame burned at the same place as well. The flames burned across his soul, causing him to feel as if he had entered a sea of hellfire. The searing pain travelled from the position of his right eye to his entire body.


    Zhao Feng''s body shook and sweat poured over his body, but he gritted his teeth and held on. Slowly but steadily, the right eye in Zhao Feng''s soul was pushed back.


    At the same time, he realized that the color around the Eye of Death started to change. Wisps of dark purple light could be seen. According to the Soul Eye Refining Technique, this usually needed at least three days to happen, but it appeared after just four hours of refining the Eye of Death.


    "This seems pretty easy."


    Zhao Feng was happy. From the looks of it, he was destined to be one with powerful bloodlines.


    This process also reduced the duration of the pain he was feeling in his soul.


    At this instant, the color around the Eye of Death was already extremely close to the color of Zhao Feng''s own soul.


    "Good."


    Zhao Feng started to circulate his technique and directed his soul to merge with the Eye of Death.


    Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly started to twitch, and part of its sleeping power was awakened.


    Boom!


    The God''s Spiritual Eye released a forceful aura that looked down on the universe, and this powerful surge of aura circulated once around Zhao Feng''s soul.


    When this aura touched the Eye of Death, which was currently merging with him, Zhao Feng''s entire soul started to shake, and it released a wave of ancient aura that repelled everything not belonging to Zhao Feng.


    "What? The God''s Spiritual Eye is repelling the Eye of Death?"


    Zhao Feng''s heart jumped as sweat poured down from him like rain.


    The God''s Spiritual Eye had done the unexpected at the critical moment. The God''s Spiritual Eye gave Zhao Feng a feeling that it was marking its territory by repelling the soul eye that was trying to merge with him.


    Weng~ Weng~


    The Eye of Death that was merging with Zhao Feng suddenly started to tremble when it felt this wave of desolate aura, and it tried to struggle out of Zhao Feng''s soul.


    "No¡­ maybe it''s because the God''s Spiritual Eye thinks that the Eye of Death is too low-levelled?"


    Zhao Feng inspected the feeling. After sensing the existence of Zhao Feng''s left eye, the Eye of Death trembled and tried to escape from Zhao Feng''s soul. It was as if it didn''t dare to exist within the same soul as the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    However, this incident showed that Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye did indeed have the potential to be the Ninth God''s Eye, otherwise why would the descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes bow down to the God''s Spiritual Eye? It would have fought back instead.


    "Not good, an accident is happening to the Eye of Death."


    While Zhao Feng was thinking, the Eye of Death started to become chaotic, and it radiated an uneasy aura.


    "Absorb!"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto the Eye of Death and put it into the dimension of his left eye.


    Hu~


    After entering the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye, the Eye of Death was completely suppressed. At the same instant, the God''s Spiritual Eye calmed down, and the terrifying desolate aura faded away from Zhao Feng''s soul.


    "Hu¡­. so close¡­."


    Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    He had wasted two days'' time to almost destroy the Eye of Death. One had to know that, if the Eye of Death was destroyed, it would return to the Emperor of Death.


    "I didn''t expect this would happen."


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows locked together. This meant that the wealth he had spent in the Divine Techniques Palace had gone to waste.


    There was only one level in the Soul Splitting Technique, and he wasn''t sure if he could even cultivate it. Now, the Eye of Death was repelled by the God''s Spiritual Eye and couldn''t merge into Zhao Feng''s soul, which meant that the Soul Eye Refining Technique was useless too.


    "I''ll have to put it down for now."


    Zhao Feng couldn''t think of anything he could do right now. He didn''t specialize in the laws of Death anyway, so he wasn''t too frustrated about it.


    On the second day, Zhao Feng left the room and headed toward the forge tower. The dark-skinned male handed over the three completed arrows and the Sky Locking Bow to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng took the Sky Locking Bow and could feel a weird structure within it. His Soul Intent could now merge into the Sky Locking Bow better than before, which meant that he could use more of its power.


    The three arrows consisted of two dark golden arrows and one bright golden arrow. They each radiated a piercing aura and had similar carvings to the God Slaying Arrow.


    "You will need to spend some time to refine this bow with your soul power in order to properly use the soul tracking ability," the dark-skinned blacksmith smiled and said.


    Zhao Feng then returned to the metallic room and started to cultivate.


    "Luckily, the Sky Locking Bow has been successfully strengthened, and the arrows have been perfectly crafted."


    Zhao Feng felt a bit better.


    He then circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and refined the bow with his soul power, while also preparing to break through to the rank of Emperor. The strength of his soul surpassed his cultivation by too much and was actually slowing down his progress, but his foundation was extremely strong.


    Zhao Feng then took out some Wind, Lightning, and Fire elemental resources and started to absorb the essence within them.


    A day later, an enormous green, blue, and red whirlpool of Wind Lightning appeared above the room that Zhao Feng was staying in.


    Weng~ Boom! Boom!


    The aura radiating from the whirlpool became more and more chaotic. The Water, Wood, and Fire of Wind Lightning started to spin limitlessly. The thick Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and some ancient aura was sucked into it. Zhao Feng held rare resources in his hand, and countless pure energy with the elements of Wind, Lightning, and Fire entered the True Yuan dimension of Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Zhao Feng''s breaking through?" Shi Yulei, who was in the next room, was startled by the scene that Zhao Feng caused. The Ninth Prince and the other members of the team also walked over and sighed in their hearts.


    "Such a profound Wind Lightning Technique, and it also seems to contain other elements." Jing Kai felt extremely pressured.


    "The quality and quantity of Zhao Feng''s True Yuan surpasses normal Emperors. Breaking through should be extremely easy." Old Ying could sense how strong Zhao Feng''s foundation was.


    "Not good! This is the last day of the second stage." Old Ying suddenly realized something.


    "There''s someone coming!" A light flashed through Su Qingling''s eyes as she spoke.


    "Go to the city wall!" Old Ying roared as his expression turned ugly.


    Zhao Feng breaking through had come at exactly the wrong time.


    The Seventh Prince''s team and the other three princes knew that Zhao Feng was the main supporter of the Ninth Prince''s team. They could obviously feel the power of Zhao Feng breaking through.


    Zhao Feng''s beast horde was still on the city walls, but without a beast tamer personally controlling them, their battle-power would be reduced by almost 40%. Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s Sky Shaking Golden Apes were still being strengthened in the Ten Thousand Blood Palace and couldn''t participate in the battle at all.


    "Zhao Feng¡­ what do we do?" Complex emotions flashed through Su Qingling''s eyes.


    "Don''t worry about him. Shen Jizi, control the array with all your power!" Old Ying had a decisive expression as he looked outside the city.


    A wave of beasts was slowly approaching. Behind them was close to thirty experts.


    "Quickly, come! Grandmaster Zhang, direct your beasts," the Fifth Prince urged.


    "Zhao Feng''s breaking through right now and won''t finish in such a short amount of time. We just need to finish off the other members. The second we take over this Heaven''s Legacy City, victory is ours!" The Twelfth Prince was overjoyed.


    "This is the last day in the second stage. Use our time wisely!" The Second Prince roared as light flashed through his eyes.


    The combined forces of the three princes were the attackers.


    The last day of attacking the cities was usually the fiercest. As long as a prince imprinted their pseudo Crown Prince Seal down in the slot, the Heaven''s Legacy City would be automatically closed for a day. Since the next day would be the end of the second stage, they wouldn''t need to worry about anyone else attacking them.

 979 Turning the Tide

    Chapter 979 - Turning the Tide


    "Defend with full power!" Old Ying urgently ordered.


    The other members stood within Shen Jizi''s defensive array and started to defend.


    Luckily, the beast horde still listened to the last order given by Zhao Feng and guarded the city. When the combined forces of the three princes attacked, they still fought back. However, without the direction of a beast tamer, their battle-power was heavily reduced.


    Since the beasts weren''t controlled by a beast tamer, they rushed out of the defensive array.


    "Old Ying, these beasts aren''t under our control." Shi Yulei felt helpless when he saw this.


    Luckily, the beasts learned to stay within the defensive array after losing several times.


    "Defend as long as we can." Old Ying''s tone was decisive.


    "Looks like Zhao Feng really is trying to break through." The Second Prince, who wasn''t far away from the city, scratched his chin. The scenery of breaking through could be faked, so it could''ve been a trick to make the enemy appear.


    "All of you can attack now." The Second Prince sent the order down after confirming Zhao Feng was truly in seclusion.


    "Attack!" The Twelfth Prince was very excited.


    Whoosh!


    Almost thirty experts from the three princes'' teams flew into the air and charged toward the Ninth Prince''s city.


    "Brother Second Prince, don''t forget about the blood pact we made." The Fifth Prince had a grim expression.


    Since only one prince could enter at a time after taking over a Heaven''s Legacy City, and there was only one day left in the second stage, it was impossible for the three princes to take turns in the Heaven''s Legacy City. Therefore, the three of them had signed a blood pact.


    The blood pact was something created by the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and it was extremely rare. They would only be used under extreme circumstances.


    The contents of the blood pact were as follows: after the Second Prince entered the Heaven''s Legacy City, he must buy everything the other princes and their subordinates wanted without embezzling anything.


    "Of course." The Second Prince had a calm expression. This was their final chance. Everything could be done as long as he was able to enter the Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "Keep an eye on Brother Seventh Prince as well. Once his team comes, use your draconic providence to stall them." The Second Prince''s expression remained the same as he messaged the other two princes.


    The Seventh Prince''s team huddled around in a small forest about a hundred miles away from the Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "We don''t have the ability to take down a city by ourselves. We can only wait until the three princes and the Ninth Prince injure each other before we can take action," the scholar analyzed.


    Sacred Lord Dark Soul''s body and soul had been heavily injured by Zhao Feng. While it was easy to recover the injuries to his Sacred Body, the damage caused by the God Tribulation Lightning to his soul wasn''t. On top of that, Grandmaster Zhang Yi''s beasts had been heavily damaged as well.


    "If Zhao Feng doesn''t come out of seclusion, then the three princes should be able to break through the city very easily. What will we do then?" Jiang Hao asked.


    While the individual strength of the three princes'' teams was weak, they had the advantage in numbers. If the Seventh Prince fought against the three princes, the three princes had a higher chance of winning.


    The other members also looked at the scholar. They had this question as well.


    "If you were in Zhao Feng''s place, would you choose to break through right now?" the scholar asked with a meaningful gaze.


    Everyone went silent. As long as they weren''t an idiot, no one would choose to break through at such a critical moment.


    "Zhao Feng shouldn''t need very long to break through," Sacred Lord Sharp Edge said.


    One could tell how strong Zhao Feng''s foundation was from his display of strength earlier. Sacred Lord Sharp Edge was even suspicious that Zhao Feng was purposely suppressing his cultivation. In that situation, he wouldn''t need very long at all, especially if he was experienced.


    "Then we still have hope," Lu Tianqi immediately said. As long as the Ninth Prince fought against the three princes with full power, there was the possibility of both sides being heavily injured.


    Elsewhere, after the Ninth Prince took over a city, the pressure on the Eighth Prince instantly decreased.


    "He''s finally going to become an Emperor now." Yu Tianhao felt the bloodline within his body tremble after thinking about this. Although he knew that Zhao Feng was already incredible strong even as a King, Yu Tianhao wished for Zhao Feng to be at the same cultivation as himself when they fought.


    "Hehe, I think that Zhao Feng is purposely choosing to break through at this moment. He probably wants to test out what he obtained in the Heaven''s Legacy City." Sacred Lord Hundred Refined smiled faintly. He didn''t believe Zhao Feng would be so dumb as to break through at this instant without some kind of reassurance.


    In the metallic room beneath the whirlpool of Wind Lightning, although Zhao Feng was indeed breaking through, he had split part of his consciousness to spectate the battle outside the city wall while another part of his energy was refining the Sky Locking Bow.


    "Refinement success!"


    Zhao Feng''s heart moved. At this instant, there was a hidden connection between Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent and the Sky Locking Bow.


    At the same time, the whirlpool of Wind Lightning above Zhao Feng''s room quickly started to fade away. With Zhao Feng''s strong foundation and many precious resources, it was extremely easy for him to become an Emperor.


    The three different areas of True Yuan within his True Yuan Dimension became purer, and they spun around like a storm. Then, Zhao Feng''s aura soon stabilised. There was no dramatic increase in strength after breaking through to the Emperor rank. Only the quality and quantity of his True Yuan had increased.


    The quality of Zhao Feng''s True Yuan was originally comparable to a Quasi-Sacred Lord, and now it easily surpassed Quasi-Sacred Lords. It wouldn''t be an exaggeration to call it the strongest True Yuan ¨C when one became a Sacred Lord, their True Yuan would transform into Mystic Light Sacred Power.


    Miao miao!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat appeared in front of Zhao Feng and gave the Misty Spatial World to him.


    Whoosh!


    After equipping the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng turned into a streak of light and charged out.


    On the metallic city walls, countless beasts and nearly thirty peerless Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords crushed over.


    The array that Shen Jizi controlled had used up all its energy and shattered with a Crack!


    In the Ninth Prince''s team, Su Qingling was already injured and was being healed by Zhou Su''er.


    Shi Yulei gripped the giant dark yellow shield and had it in front of himself. However, it wasn''t very effective since there were simply too many enemies.


    Zhao Feng''s huge horde of beasts sustained heavy casualties against the other three beast tamers'' hordes.


    The Ninth Prince raised the faint pseudo Crown Prince Seal and was about to release his draconic providence.


    "I''m late," Zhao Feng''s voice sounded in everyone''s soul.


    The Ninth Prince instantly put away the pseudo Crown Prince Seal, and everyone else also let out a breath. They had been guarding this place to stall for time until Zhao Feng finished his breakthrough.


    "Zhao Feng, quickly control the beast horde!" Old Ying''s expression turned to joy as he quickly spoke. The speed of Zhao Feng''s breakthrough had exceeded his expectations, but now wasn''t the time. As long as Zhao Feng regained control of the beast horde and unleashed his power, they had hope of successfully guarding the Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "Zhao Feng, it doesn''t matter if you''ve broken through now. We''re all already here." Xue Yuan laughed. The forces of the three princes had arrived on top of the metallic city walls, and the members of the Ninth Prince''s team had heavy injuries. Could Zhao Feng alone fight back against almost thirty Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords?


    "Hmph, I just have to make all of you leave." Zhao Feng harrumphed coldly as his expression turned cold.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng waved his left hand, and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly appeared. The terrifying Ten Thousand Ancient Race bloodline made the Emperors'' hearts shake, and it suppressed their bloodlines. They found it hard to even breathe.


    Before anyone could even react, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly opened its mouth and spat out a five-colored silk that instant covered everything within several hundred yards.


    "How absurd! How could the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s silk possibly restrain all of us?" An Emperor couldn''t help but mock Zhao Feng''s dumb actions.


    Almost thirty people charged at Zhao Feng and the rest of the Ninth Prince''s team. Since the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s silk was too spread out, no one was caught at all. The experts that felt silk land on them released their True Yuan and just shook it off.


    However, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly then started to flutter its little wings, and a half-transparent rainbow-colored pollen formed a whirlwind and swept across everything within range of several hundred yards.


    Zhao Feng originally just wanted the silk to attract the enemy''s attention. Only then would the Dream Pollen be effective. After all, everyone knew that Zhao Feng had the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly, so they would be on guard against it.


    Zhao Feng had already messaged the other members of the Ninth Prince''s team to leave the range of the Dream Pollen attack.


    "Not good! Retreat!"


    "It''s the Dream Pollen!"


    Dream Pollen could pass through the physical dimension, and it was effective even against Sacred Lords. Its supportive abilities were even better than the silk.


    The thirty-some members instantly started to panic against the Dream Pollen and could only run around.


    Luckily for them, not many people lost the ability to fight because of the Dream Pollen. However, Zhao Feng used this time to circulate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and split off almost a thousand thoughts, which he then merged into the beasts below.


    Zhao Feng''s beast horde below the city wall instantly started to counterattack. With Zhao Feng''s precise control, he quickly defeated the enemy beasts and directed some of them to block the Emperor experts on the city wall. The Ninth Prince and the other members instantly felt their pressure decrease.


    Every time Zhao Feng took action, it was to prepare for the next step. In just a couple breaths, he had gained control of the situation and started to turn the tide.


    "I bet all of you want to come out and cause some destruction, right?" Zhao Feng murmured as he waved his left hand once more.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Three giant golden figures descended onto the city wall, as if they were all giant metal mountains. The unparalleled and fierce aura of deadly beasts shook the hearts of anyone nearby and made them immediately retreat.


    Bam!


    The golden fur of the three Sky Shaking Golden Apes stood up on end like needles, and they unleashed a desolate aura.


    Some of the nearby Emperors were caught off guard and coughed out blood after being shaken by this terrifying bloodline aura. Some of the Emperors further away started to panic as they felt their bloodlines tremble uneasily.


    "They''re beasts from this ancient dimension, and they have a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!"


    "How is this possible!?"


    "Zhao Feng gave his spiritual pets such a precious bloodline?"


    The Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords attacking the city were stunned.


    One had to know that each of the beasts in this dimension had Ancient genes in their bloodline. Once they obtained a bloodline from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, their power would be almost comparable to the Ten Thousand Ancient Races species themselves.


    Zhao Feng looked at the three Sky Shaking Golden Apes and was extremely satisfied with them.


    When Zhao Feng was breaking through, the little thieving cat took the Misty Spatial World to the Ten Thousand Blood Palace and retrieved the Sky Shaking Golden Apes that were finished being strengthened. Since time was limited, only three Sky Shaking Golden Apes had been strengthened so far.

 980 The Power of One

    Chapter 980 - The Power of One


    The other members of the Ninth Prince''s team were also stunned. They felt that they lacked resources after entering the Heaven''s Legacy City; they could only look at many things since they weren''t able to afford them. On the other hand, Zhao Feng had actually given his spiritual pets such precious bloodlines.


    "Zhao Feng strengthened the bloodlines of the Sky Shaking Golden Apes?" Shi Yulei had a dazed expression.


    He had seen Zhao Feng in the Ten Thousand Blood Palace, but he thought that Zhao Feng was just giving his spiritual pets a normal bloodline. After inspecting the changes in the Sky Shaking Golden Apes, it was obvious that they were given the Power Force Ape bloodline, which was ranked 421st among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    After seeing them, the enemies even had the idea to capture these Sky Shaking Golden Apes alive. The eyes of the three beast tamers were fiery hot as they looked at the Sky Shaking Golden Apes.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng split off three parts of his consciousness and put them into the Sky Shaking Golden Apes'' bodies.


    The Sky Shaking Golden Apes were very big, and they specialized in power and defense. They were quite suitable for defending the city.


    Wu~~


    The Sky Shaking Golden Apes instantly roared and beat their scarlet-golden fists. Limitless physical power formed a mirage of punches that swept over everything.


    The Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords that were charging forward had to retreat and dodge the attacks.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and charged into the battlefield as the Scarlet Wings of Wind Lightning behind him fluttered. Those in the Ninth Prince''s team that could still fight followed Zhao Feng''s footsteps and entered the battlefield once more.


    "Scarlet Lightning Storm!" The wings behind Zhao Feng fluttered wildly, and limitless Wind Lightning True Yuan poured out and formed a large storm of scarlet lightning.


    A blazing blood-colored light within the storm of scarlet lightning shot out. It was as if the sun had become the color of blood. The Blood Devil Sun bloodline and the Fire of Wind Lightning were two similarly explosive powers, and they merged into the storm together.


    Hu~~ Boom! Boom!


    Lightning instantly crackled within the scarlet-colored storm, and a blazing blood-colored light covered its surface, increasing its power by several times as it covered many enemies.


    The quality and quantity of Zhao Feng''s True Yuan weren''t something that his past self could compare to. While this wide-ranged attack wasn''t very profound, it utilized the advantage of Zhao Feng''s most powerful True Yuan.


    "What terrifying True Yuan and explosive power!"


    "The characteristics of the Blood Devil Sun Bloodline are contained within this storm."


    "This definitely isn''t the True Yuan a new Emperor can have."


    The Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lord covered by the storm of scarlet lightning instantly circulated their True Yuan to resist the power. One had to know that a wide-ranged attack would use up a lot of True Yuan, and this move was covering everyone.


    "Quick, team up and finish off Zhao Feng!"


    "He''s the beast tamer! If we defeat him, the battle-power of these three Sky Shaking Golden Apes will decrease dramatically."


    "He''s coming out to us. Everyone, attack!"


    Xue Yuan, the goateed elder, and various others knew how strong Zhao Feng was, but they had almost thirty people. The majority of them were Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords, and they all straight toward Zhao Feng.


    Of course, most of this group was comprised of Emperors. Quasi-Sacred Lords were rare amongst the lower-ranked princes.


    "Not good, they''re going to attack Zhao Feng together!" Shi Yulei''s expression turned to surprise, and he felt that Zhao Feng was acting too rashly.


    "Quick, support Zhao Feng!" Su Qingling swiped her hand, and a Soul talisman instantly appeared. The Soul talisman then turned into several Soul arrows that shot toward the enemy.


    Zhou Su''er had an impatient expression, but there was nothing she could do except heal the injured beasts from the back.


    They didn''t know why Zhao Feng entered the battlefield so rashly. As long as he just controlled the beast horde and focused on defense, they had a possibility to turn the fight around. Although Zhao Feng''s strength was comparable to a Sacred Lord, there were just too many enemies. Most of them were elite Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords; even true Sacred Lords would have to retreat.


    "This is Zhao Feng''s plan." Jing Kai, who had been enslaved by Zhao Feng, didn''t move. He looked at Zhao Feng with awe and respect.


    A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face as a desolate and chaotic power of Lightning spread from his back and merged into the air. Everything within several hundred yards instantly became a dark dimension filled with Wind Lightning. Even a portion of the ancient dimension''s laws were now controlled by Zhao Feng.


    It was difficult for Zhao Feng''s Little World to cover a lot of people at once, so he wanted to limit its range to increase its power. Therefore, he had to come out and be the bait.


    More than a dozen Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords that were charging toward Zhao Feng instantly entered Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning. The invisible laws in the dimension suddenly strengthened once more, and the terrifying pressure of Wind Lightning suddenly descended. More than a dozen enemies that were charging over instantly became covered by the power of the Little World. The closer they got to Zhao Feng, the stronger the pressure.


    "This is a Little World? Didn''t he only just become an Emperor?"


    "How is this possible? His Little World can actually merge perfectly into this ancient dimension!?"


    "Zhao Feng can actually control part of the laws in this ancient dimension?"


    The experts trapped by Zhao Feng''s Little World were stunned, and they were unable to calm down. Right now, it was as if they were travelling through mud, and they had to bear even more pressure from the ancient dimension.


    The ancient dimension already heavily suppressed the strength of outsiders. Now that Zhao Feng was actively controlling a part of the ancient dimension''s laws, this pressure was even stronger.


    Many Quasi-Sacred Lords released their Little Worlds as well and prepared to destroy Zhao Feng''s Little World. However, the most they could do was protect themselves a bit. Putting aside affecting Zhao Feng''s Little World, they couldn''t even merge their Little Worlds into this dimension.


    At the same time, countless bolts of lightning descended from the Little World of Wind Lightning. They still had to pay attention and block them.


    "Quick, destroy Zhao Feng''s Little World together!" the goateed elder roared.


    The power of Zhao Feng''s Little World within the ancient dimension was extremely strong. More than a dozen Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords prepared to release their attacks.


    However, Zhao Feng suddenly punched out several times and released several scarlet lightning fists. The power of his attacks was doubled in his Little World. On top of that, the scarlet lightning punches that he used against these enemies trapped in his Little World contained his Soul Dao Domain and illusions.


    At the same time, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly flapped its wings once more, and a wave of half-transparent pollen formed a whirlwind and swept across several hundred yards.


    The pressure of the Little World, the Dream Pollen, and Zhao Feng''s Illusion Maze Domain made the goateed elder, Xue Yuan, and company who were trapped in the Little World feel tired and unable to move as they wished.


    Their attacks went wide and didn''t concentrate on the same spot, so they didn''t do much damage to Zhao Feng''s Little World.


    "Hand over your Dragon Jades or don''t blame me for being disrespectful." Zhao Feng released his Soul Intent, and his voice boomed throughout the Little World of Wind Lightning.


    Everyone felt as if ten thousand bolts of lightning struck their soul. Their bodies became numb, and their souls were numbed as well along with a searing pain.


    "What powerful Soul Intent!"


    "We can''t get out!"


    "How is this possible?"


    Xue Yuan, the goateed elder and company were full of fear and panic. More than a dozen Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords were completely trapped by Zhao Feng''s Little World, Soul Dao illusions, Dream Pollen, and Soul Intent.


    The enemies near the borders of Zhao Feng''s Little World, who were still fighting with the Ninth Prince''s team and the Sky Shaking Golden Apes, were instantly stunned. Zhao Feng had trapped over half of their force by himself. Even Sacred Lords couldn''t do this.


    "Zhao Feng, didn''t you just become an Emperor? You managed to form a Little World already?" Shi Yulei was dazed as he looked at Zhao Feng, who was like the god of Heaven and Earth in the Little World of Wind Lightning. Furthermore, this Little World of Zhao Feng''s was no ordinary Little World.


    "He managed to stall more than a dozen Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords!?" Su Qingling had an incredulous expression while standing at the back. On top of that, Zhao Feng still had the ability to extort these enemies that he had trapped.


    "Great!" Old Ying couldn''t help but cheer.


    When Zhao Feng decided to break through, Old Ying was already pondering about whether or not Zhao Feng had some kind of plan. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng wanted to obtain some more draconic providence for the Ninth Prince before the second stage ended.


    The Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords, who had their battle-power suppressed within the Little World of Wind Lightning, had enraged expressions.


    They hadn''t gone out of their way to collect draconic providence, and now that the second stage of the Crown Prince trial was coming to an end, the Dragon Jades weren''t very useful to them. Even if they could enter the Heaven''s Legacy City, the princes they supported had no intention of fighting for the position of Crown Prince anyway.


    However, countless people were watching them get trapped and threatened by Zhao Feng alone. If they all just gave in to Zhao Feng and handed over their Dragon Jades, how would they live the rest of their days in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty?


    "Hmph! Zhao Feng, we won''t hand over the Dragon Jades."


    "If you have the ability, then kill all of us!"


    The experts that Zhao Feng had trapped refused to hand over their Dragon Jades. They all came from different forces and were sure that Zhao Feng wouldn''t dare to suddenly offend a dozen powerful forces of the Lord Dynasty.


    "Eh? Where did my Dragon Jade go?"


    "My Dragon Jade has disappeared as well!"


    "My Dragon Jade and some precious resources within my interspatial dimension have disappeared!"


    The experts within the Little World of Wind Lightning exclaimed.


    Miao miao!


    A silver blur flashed next to Zhao Feng, and the little thieving cat handed over a bunch of Dragon Jades to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was speechless. All he wanted the little thieving cat to do was steal some Dragon Jades, but the little thieving cat even entered their interspatial dimensions and taken some treasures as well.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws at Zhao Feng, as if saying that these were its spoils of war.


    Zhao Feng gave a helpless smile. When Zhao Feng used his illusions and the Dream Pollen, he gave the little thieving cat the order to take action. That was when the enemy was least on-guard, most helpless, and had the weakest senses. To make sure that the little thieving cat progressed smoothly, Zhao Feng even released his Soul Intent to attack everyone''s soul, but from the looks of it, that was overdoing it.


    At this instant, the spectating three princes had ugly expressions. The situation that had been looking good suddenly turned around just like that.


    "Let''s attack as well," the Second Prince''s deep voice sounded. If the three of them didn''t take action, they would definitely lose this battle.


    "Okay, we''ll block the members of the Ninth Prince''s team. Brother Second Prince, you go into the city and imprint your pseudo Crown Prince Seal." The Fifth Prince instantly took out his bright pseudo Crown Prince Seal.


    Hu~


    Dragons made of light surrounded the three princes as they finally took action and headed toward the metallic city while holding their pseudo Crown Prince Seals in their hands.

 981 Shock

    Chapter 981 - Shock


    "Not good, the three princes are coming." Shi Yulei''s expression became solemn as he looked into the distance.


    "Zhao Feng!" Old Ying called out.


    Zhao Feng was the strongest person in the Ninth Prince''s team. Right now, he managed to stall more than a dozen Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords. Old Ying believed that Zhao Feng should have the strength to defeat the three princes.


    Weng~~


    The Ninth Prince slowly stepped forward, and the pseudo Crown Prince Seal in his hand started to blink.


    The opposing three princes were all Emperors. Amongst them, the Second Prince''s strength was the closest to the Ninth Prince. However, everything would be completely different if the princes used their draconic providence. The three princes would be able to increase their battle-power to the Quasi-Sacred Lord rank or even higher.


    Luckily though, the three princes hadn''t gathered much draconic providence.


    Within Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning:


    "Zhao Feng, you''re stealing from us? You''re really despicable!"


    "Zhao Feng, it doesn''t matter if you''ve trapped us. You have lost."


    "The battle-power of the three princes will be extremely close to the Sacred Lord rank once they use their draconic providence."


    More than a dozen people that Zhao Feng had trapped sensed that the three princes entered the battlefield and were overjoyed.


    "Hehe, since I''ve already obtained your Dragon Jades and none of you want to leave, don''t blame me for being disrespectful." Zhao Feng suddenly laughed coldly.


    Whoosh!


    A blazing glass-like flame spread across Zhao Feng''s body. It was as he was bathing in fire, and he looked like a flaming demonic sovereign with the addition of the Sacred Lightning Body.


    "This is the Blood Devil Sun bloodline?"


    "The intel is indeed correct; Zhao Feng really has the Blood Devil Sun bloodline of the Tie Family."


    "Everyone, stall Zhao Feng and wait for the three princes to arrive."


    While the experts that were trapped in Zhao Feng''s Little World were somewhat surprised, conquering the Heaven''s Legacy City was the most important thing right now.


    They had forced out the Dream Pollen and escaped from the illusions long ago. The reason they stayed in Zhao Feng''s Little World was because they saw the three princes entering the battle. The experts all prepared to team up. As long as they could stall Zhao Feng, the three princes would arrive and take over the Heaven''s Legacy City.


    Boom!


    With the explosive release of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, Zhao Feng''s figure disappeared with a flash.


    "Watch out!" A Quasi-Sacred Lord could sense Zhao Feng''s location and immediately called out.


    The next instant, amidst an explosion of fire and lightning that shook the heavens, an Emperor in the group was smashed into pieces by a punch from Zhao Feng.


    Si!


    The enemies became dead-silent when they saw Zhao Feng instantly kill a peak Emperor. They had already guessed that Zhao Feng''s strength had reached the level of Sacred Lords, but even some actual Sacred Lords weren''t as fast as him.


    "Quick, stop him!" Xue Yuan roared as his body shook.


    The others all recovered from the shock and circulated their True Yuan to block Zhao Feng. They couldn''t let Zhao Feng rely on his speed and slowly take them down one by one.


    Boom!


    With another explosion, Zhao Feng left behind a wave of fire and lightning as he turned into a bolt of lightning and charged toward a group that had fewer people.


    Bam!


    An Emperor circulated his True Yuan and formed a defensive barrier when he saw Zhao Feng approaching, but he was still crushed by Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body ¨C his body exploded.


    Zhao Feng''s True Yuan was strengthened in the Little World of Wind Lightning. His speed and power could be completely unleashed. If this group of people had broken Zhao Feng''s Little World first, they might have been able to cause Zhao Feng some trouble, but the situation was now under Zhao Feng''s control. They no longer had any chance to break out of Zhao Feng''s Little World.


    "Arghh!" Another Emperor was easily smashed into smithereens by Zhao Feng.


    The hearts of both friend and foe alike shook.


    "Good! As long as Zhao Feng can finish them off, we still have hope." Old Ying''s voice was calm.


    On the other side, the enemies fighting against the Sky Shaking Golden Apes and the other members of the Ninth Prince''s team trembled. Zhao Feng killed Emperors as easily as killing chickens. The enemies could only place their hopes on the three princes.


    "Zhao Feng, stop!" The three princes who were rushing over saw this scene and roared.


    "A bunch of idiots!" the Fifth Prince cursed.


    The group of people who were in Zhao Feng''s Little World thought that Zhao Feng could do nothing to them, and now they were being slaughtered. If they had attacked Zhao Feng''s Little World with full power from the start, everything would have been fine.


    "Let''s destroy Zhao Feng''s Little World first." The Second Prince had a grim expression. They couldn''t let Zhao Feng kill any more of their members.


    Hu~


    The other two princes nodded their heads, and they all drew their swords as they circulated their True Yuan, and a dragon made of light shot into the air.


    "Not good, the three princes want to destroy Zhao Feng''s Little World!" Old Ying''s expression changed slightly. He was fighting against a Quasi-Sacred Lord right now and couldn''t help.


    "It''ll be bad if Zhao Feng''s Little World is destroyed." Shi Yulei had a heavy heart. Right now, he was blocking a bunch of attacks for the other members.


    There weren''t many people in the Ninth Prince''s team who could fight. If it wasn''t for the three Sky Shaking Golden Apes stalling some of the enemies, they would have lost long ago.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng looked at the three princes and waved his left hand.


    Eight fist-sized bees appeared. They radiated a terrifying aura, and they flew directly toward the three princes that were just about to attack.


    "Not good! Those are Five Poison Distinct Bees! Retreat!" the Second Prince exclaimed, and the three princes instantly gave up on attacking and started to retreat. They somewhat knew the history of the Five Poison Distinct Bees.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Eight peak-King-level bees self-destructed as the three princes were retreating. Although only the shockwave reached the three princes, the Bee Kings'' suicide was able to critically threaten Emperors.


    The self-destruction of eight Bee Kings at once definitely had a big effect on the three princes. The three princes had ugly expressions; they lost a lot of draconic providence to the self-destruction of the Five Poison Distinct Bees.


    "Zhao Feng, good job!" Old Ying exclaimed.


    Zhao Feng used the Five Poison Distinct Bees to force the three princes back quite a bit. This gave Zhao Feng time to finish off the rest of the enemies within his Little World.


    "What is this!?"


    "Second Prince, save us!"


    "The three princes were forced back by Zhao Feng!"


    The experts trapped within Zhao Feng''s Little World revealed expressions of despair when they saw this. Zhao Feng had still hidden some of his skills?


    "Dammit, Zhao Feng could have used those Five Poison Distinct Bees to defeat us right from the beginning," an Emperor called out.


    "He probably thought that he didn''t need to do so." A Quasi-Sacred Lord felt their body turn cold.


    Hearing this, the hearts of all the other members shook, and they started to tremble. Indeed, Zhao Feng had already forced them into desperation even without the use of the Five Poison Distinct Bees.


    Boom!


    During the time when everyone was dazed, Zhao Feng''s Scarlet Lightning Fire fists engulfed another two Emperors.


    "Run!"


    "I don''t want to die!"


    "Zhao Feng, don''t kill me!" Xue Yuan begged Zhao Feng while retreating.


    At the moment, five Emperors had been killed by Zhao Feng already. Even if they did destroy Zhao Feng''s Little World now, they wouldn''t be his match. They had no will to fight anymore, and they all escaped toward the direction of the three princes and hoped that the princes could come as soon as possible and save them.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng flapped his Scarlet Wings of Lightning and left behind a streak of light as he appeared directly in front of everyone and blocked their way.


    "Zhao Feng, let us go, please."


    "We won''t attack ever again."


    "You''ve already taken our Dragon Jades. Please just let us go."


    Everyone was in utter despair. They couldn''t escape from Zhao Feng''s Little World. Zhao Feng was the fastest in his own Little World, and with the addition of his powerful physical power, no one was his match.


    "Three princes, hand over your pseudo Crown Prince Seals or else I will start a massacre." Zhao Feng looked down on everyone from above like the God of Storms and Lightning.


    The three princes'' hearts fell when they heard this.


    If Zhao Feng killed all these experts, then the blame would be on Zhao Feng. It would be Zhao Feng who cruelly killed them, offending more than a dozen forces in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    However, everything became completely different once Zhao Feng said this. If the three princes declined Zhao Feng and then Zhao Feng killed everyone, the three princes would be at fault. It would be them who had given up on their own members'' lives just to preserve their draconic providence.


    "Hmph, Zhao Feng, don''t you dare kill my members!" The Second Prince''s expression remained the same as he charged over with a roar.


    The two other princes faltered. They didn''t know what to do.


    "Brother Second Prince''s idea is good." The Fifth Prince revealed a faint smile.


    The Second Prince was using his own method to reject Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng still killed all their members, it wouldn''t be because the princes didn''t want to save them, it would be because they didn''t have enough time to do so.


    The Fifth and Twelfth Princes also yelled and followed the Second Prince as they charged at Zhao Feng once more. True Yuan flowed into their swords, and they prepared to destroy Zhao Feng''s Little World once more.


    "Hehe." Zhao Feng waved his hand and eight venomous bees appeared once again.


    The eight Five Poison Distinct Bees charged directly at the three princes. One of them was slightly bigger than the rest and had brighter colors ¨C it was a Bee Emperor.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The three princes were frightened back again. The power of the Five Poison Distinct Bees'' self-destruction this time was even stronger than before. The Twelfth Prince accidentally touched the toxic air, and his expression became extremely ugly.


    "He still has more Five Poison Distinct Bees!?" The Second Prince''s face went green, but there was nothing he could do.


    Countless experts on the battlefield felt their hearts tremble as they looked at Zhao Feng. The enemies that were still fighting against Old Ying and company became filled with fear, and they slowly lost the will to fight.


    The advantage they originally had was turned around because of Zhao Feng''s participation. The beast horde started to turn the tide after Zhao Feng took control of them, and the three Sky Shaking Golden Apes and their new bloodlines helped the Ninth Prince''s team stall many experts. Zhao Feng himself had trapped more than a dozen enemies and stopped the three princes from entering single-handedly.


    If this continued, the losers would definitely be the three princes.


    The people in the other three Heaven''s Legacy Cities were stunned as well when they looked at this battle. The Seventh Prince''s team that was ready to come out at any moment never appeared.

 982 The Third Stage

    Chapter 982 - The Third Stage


    The three princes had ugly expressions. They didn''t expect the final outcome to be like this.


    The decisions they had to make right now were extremely difficult. If they wanted to press the attack, they couldn''t win, but if they wanted to retreat, all the members held hostage by Zhao Feng would die.


    Furthermore, the Seventh Prince was still hiding behind them at full power. Even if the three princes paid a heavy price and somehow managed to defeat the Ninth Prince''s team, they wouldn''t be able to defend against the Seventh Prince''s ambush.


    Everything they did in the end would just pave the way for someone else.


    "If the three of you aren''t willing to hand over the pseudo Crown Prince Seal, there''s still one other method that can save your members," Zhao Feng''s emotionless voice sounded once more.


    Both friend and foe alike all knew what this method was.


    "Fine¡­ I admit defeat." The Second Prince looked at Zhao Feng coldly, raised his pseudo Crown Prince Seal, and poured a surge of Intent into it.


    No matter what they did today, they had lost. However, the Second Prince didn''t want to waste his effort just to benefit the Seventh Prince and he didn''t want to give his draconic providence to Zhao Feng. If his members all died here as well, then the forces that supported him might change their minds.


    "Brother Second Prince, don''t be rash!" The Fifth Prince''s expression turned to shock.


    He knew what Zhao Feng meant as well, but he couldn''t just admit defeat in front of so many people. He knew that the Second Prince was a person who didn''t take risks, but once the Second Prince left, what would the Fifth Prince and the Twelfth Prince do? Thus, the Fifth Prince had to try to persuade the Second Prince.


    The Second Prince didn''t bother with the Fifth Prince, he just sent the signal for help from the pseudo Crown Prince Seal.


    Weng~


    A profound and complex array spread from the pseudo Crown Prince Seal. At the same time, a light flashed from all of the Dragon Jades connected to the Second Prince''s pseudo Crown Prince Seal, and an array started to activate.


    Hu~


    The Second Prince and his team left the battlefield.


    "Brother Fifth Prince, what should we do?" The Twelfth Prince didn''t know what to do after seeing the Second Prince leave.


    The Fifth Prince had a dead expression and didn''t know what to do either.


    While the two princes were thinking about what to do, within the Little World of Wind Lightning: "Since the princes you support don''t want to save you, then don''t blame me for being disrespectful."


    Zhao Feng''s voice resounded across the entire Little World, and those that were still alive in the Little World revealed expressions of fear and fell to the ground.


    "Don''t kill me! Fifth Prince, please save me!"


    "I''m willing to hand over all my wealth! Just don''t kill me!"


    "If you kill me, the Ocean Guarding Hall won''t forgive you!"


    Boom! Hu~~~


    Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning suddenly contracted, and an even stronger pressure bore down on those still inside. Limitless power of Wind Lightning descended in the Little World.


    Boom!


    The Scarlet Wings of Lightning on Zhao Feng''s back fluttered as he took the lives of the remaining people.


    Whoosh!


    After completing this, Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning disappeared. He perched above the metallic city wall and revealed a faint smile as he looked into the distance.


    The members of the Seventh Prince''s team a hundred miles away shook. They were about to go invite the Twelfth and Fifth Princes to an alliance, but Zhao Feng instantly killed a bunch of Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords.


    "He killed them all!" Jiang Hao''s heart shook.


    "Zhao Feng seems to have taken us into account from the start." The scholar''s expression changed as he thought of something.


    "How is this possible?" The Seventh Prince didn''t believe it. Although Zhao Feng''s actions just now did indeed stun them, the scholar said that Zhao Feng made his plan with them in mind from the start. The Seventh Prince didn''t dare to believe this.


    "I understand now. The reason why Zhao Feng chose to break through at this moment is to avoid the three princes working with us." The scholar suddenly understood.


    Zhao Feng entered seclusion and revealed a flaw so that the three princes would attack. Seeing that, the Seventh Prince decided to just stay back and wait to benefit from their fight instead of teaming up with the three princes.


    "How is that possible!?" Jiang Hao was dazed after hearing what the scholar said.


    However, what the scholar said was correct. Today was the last day. If there was nothing else they could do, the Seventh Prince might indeed team up with the other three princes.


    However, at this moment in time, the three princes had been utterly defeated, and the Second Prince had already admitted defeat. Even if they teamed up with the remaining two princes now, the Ninth Prince''s team had the ability to fight back.


    "We lost without even fighting." The scholar sighed.


    The enemies that were still in a stalemate against the Sky Shaking Golden Apes on the city wall felt their hearts and legs tremble when they saw Zhao Feng kill the remaining Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords.


    "Run!" the Fifth Prince roared. He had given up on attacking the city. However, he wouldn''t admit defeat even though he would be sent out anyway at the end of the second stage tonight.


    "Quickly retreat!" the Twelfth Prince also exclaimed.


    The enemies on the city wall instantly used their secret techniques to run, and their beast horde below also quickly retreated under the command of the beast tamers.


    "You want to leave?" Shi Yulei felt extremely smug and prepared to chase after the enemy.


    "There''s no need to chase after them." Zhao Feng stopped Shi Yulei. At the same time, a faint undulation of mental energy flashed through his left eye.


    He had completed his mark of the God Eye.


    "Hahaha! We won!" Shi Yulei also knew the reasoning behind not chasing after a defeated enemy in case they decided to unleash an all-out counterattack in their despair.


    The members of the Ninth Prince''s team instantly let out a breath, and they somehow felt that this fight wasn''t as difficult as they originally imagined it would be.


    "Zhao Feng, your breakthrough was to lure them in, right?" Old Ying thought about it carefully and seemed to understand why Zhao Feng chose to break through at this moment and reveal a weakness.


    If the three princes teamed up with the Seventh Prince, even Zhao Feng could do nothing. Therefore, Zhao Feng purposely revealed a weakness in the Ninth Prince''s team to incite a quick attack.


    Facing an enemy with such a huge flaw, everyone would have their own ideas. Why would they team up if they didn''t have to?


    Hearing what Old Ying said, everyone else seemed to understand as well. In this battle, not only had they defeated the three princes on the surface, they also forced the Seventh Prince''s team, who was hiding in the darkness, into despair. It was like killing two birds with one stone. Even if the remaining two princes teamed up with the Seventh Prince at this point, it was impossible for them to conquer the Ninth Prince''s Heaven''s Legacy City.


    The Ninth Prince''s team had obtained steady control of this city.


    "Hehe, it''s still not over yet." Zhao Feng revealed a playful smile.


    Hu~


    A dark silver bow with mysterious tadpole-like markings appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. The other members of the Ninth Prince''s team looked at him with puzzlement.


    Zhao Feng used the mark of the God Eye to sense the Fifth Prince''s location.


    Weng~~ Jiang!


    Zhao Feng pulled back the bowstring and inserted his Fire of Wind Lightning into it. An arrow made of scarlet lightning started to condense on the Sky Locking Bow.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng casually shot an arrow out.


    "Hmm?" The Fifth Prince, who had escaped very far away by now, felt like there was a pair of eyes watching him. The Fifth Prince suddenly turned around and saw an arrow of scarlet lightning shooting at him.


    "Ambush?" The Fifth Prince was stunned, and he immediately circulated his True Yuan to unleash a defensive technique.


    Boom!


    When the dust faded away, the Fifth Prince''s body was scorched black. Without the draconic providence, he was just an Emperor and obviously couldn''t block Zhao Feng''s attack. If Zhao Feng had used the Sky Locking Bow with his full power just now, this arrow might''ve taken the Fifth Prince''s life.


    "How is this possible? How can Zhao Feng still attack us from so far away?" The Twelfth Prince squinted his eyes and saw Zhao Feng holding a bow on the city wall.


    "Let''s quickly leave. This place is wicked." The Fifth Prince was enraged and frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.


    Whoosh!


    Another arrow shot over. This time, the target was the Twelfth Prince.


    Boom!


    "Zhao Feeeeeng!" The Twelfth Prince''s eyes bulged out in anger.


    The two princes retreated another couple hundred miles, but mysterious arrows kept raining down on the Fifth and Twelfth Princes.


    The members that followed the two princes felt their hearts twitch. It didn''t matter where the two princes ran; the arrows that Zhao Feng shot out seemed to have eyes and would always be able to find the two princes.


    The draconic providence within the two prince''s pseudo Crown Prince Seals was finally completely used up, and they were forced to ask for help. This resulted in all of them being teleported away.


    No one on the Ninth Prince''s city wall knew what Zhao Feng was doing. He just kept on pulling his bowstring and shooting arrows in a random direction.


    However, everyone in the Great Gan Imperial Palace saw what happened clearly. Zhao Feng was able to hit the two princes by just casually pulling his bow even from several thousand miles away. Even the most professional archers in the lord dynasty couldn''t do this.


    The Second Prince paused, and he suddenly felt that admitting defeat and choosing to leave was a very wise decision. At this moment, the Fifth and Twelfth Princes were extremely ruffled and completely scorched black, and they had been forced to ask for help anyway. Compared to him, the other two had lost way more face.


    The owners of the four Heaven''s Legacy Cities were just about fully confirmed, and the experts of many forces remembered Zhao Feng. His calm and critical thinking, powerful strength, and countless techniques made them admire him.


    The faces of all the experts within the Ninth Prince''s hall were red. They hadn''t thought that the Ninth Prince would be able to take over a Heaven''s Legacy City and enter the third stage of the Crown Prince trial.


    "Master!" Bi Qingyue''s eyes were watery as she looked at the Ninth Prince''s screen with love and awe.


    "As expected of Grand Elder!" Zhan Jie''er also looked up to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was probably the only person in the history of the lord dynasty to defeat a Sacred Lord as a measly King.


    "Zhao Feng!" Tie Hongnan''s expression was grim. That display from Zhao Feng even made him feel like taking Zhao Feng as his disciple, but unfortunately, Zhao Feng didn''t want to return to the Tie Family, and his soul wasn''t from the Tie Family either.


    "Elder Hongnan, what should we do about Zhao Feng?" Tie Litian asked.


    Tie Hongnan didn''t reply. They were originally going to use more forceful methods, but now he would need to discuss things with the other Elders of the family.


    Within the Thirteenth Prince''s hall:


    "This Zhao Feng¡­!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had an ugly expression. Zhao Feng''s potential made him uneasy. Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline made his head hurt as well.


    As night descended, the members of the Seventh Prince''s team were teleported out by the stone tablet. The Crown Prince trial had entered the third stage ¨C Clash between Princes.

 983 Moving Maze Palace

    Chapter 983 - Moving Maze Palace


    Only the four princes and their team members still in a Heaven''s Legacy City remained in the Imperial Tombs.


    The Eighth and Ninth Princes'' teams could finally let out a breath.


    "There are ten days of rest till the third stage starts. Let''s have a rest and recover to our peak state." Old Ying looked at the exhausted members.


    Everyone had put in a lot of effort to conquer this Heaven''s Legacy City and were completely exhausted.


    "Old Ying, what exactly is the third stage?" Zhou Su''er couldn''t help but ask. She had already asked this question before, but Old Ying said that it was too early and that it was useless to tell them before reaching it.


    "The Clash of Princes is held between the four Heaven''s Legacy Cities. The Heaven''s Legacy Cities will start a game, and the participants are obviously the four princes and their teams."


    Since it was now time, Old Ying told them everything he knew.


    In the beginning, there was only a slight chance of the Ninth Prince actually conquering a Heaven''s Legacy City, and only if he got lucky and everything went perfectly. Therefore, there was no point in telling everyone else about the third stage. In fact, that would only distract them from the present moment.


    Even now, Old Ying felt like he was in a dream. He didn''t expect the Ninth Prince to be on par with the Fourth, Thirteenth, and Eighth Princes and actually conquer his own Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "That sounds interesting." Zhou Su''er nodded in half-understanding.


    Zhao Feng was surprised. The Heaven''s Legacy Cities supplied the grounds for the Clash of Princes? The imperials had probably spent a lot of resources in order to make a deal with the Heaven''s Legacy Cities.


    "No one knows what kind of game the Heaven''s Legacy Cities will set. There have been games that have appeared multiple times since the first Crown Prince trial, but they''re always perfected the next time to make sure the game is fair," Old Ying explained to everyone.


    Because no game was ever exactly the same in any of the trials before, it was hard to make preparations for it. In addition, since it was a game and not a direct clash of strength, many factors were involved.


    "Of course, the main point of this game is draconic providence." Old Ying emphasized.


    In the fourth stage ¨C the Fight for the Grand Seal ¨C it was basically a clash between draconic providence. This had never changed before, and anyone that knew anything about the Crown Prince trial knew this. This was why the third stage was so important ¨C it was the last chance to obtain more draconic providence.


    The Ninth Prince had the least draconic providence within his pseudo Crown Prince Seal compared to the other princes within the Imperial Tombs. If he wanted to become the Crown Prince, the Ninth Prince needed to beat the other three princes in the third stage or else he would be eliminated in the third stage.


    "Don''t worry. We just need to give it our all," the Ninth Prince said with a faint smile.


    To a certain degree, the Ninth Prince had already proved himself by reaching this stage. This was what his original goal was ¨C to prove himself as a prince.


    "It''s almost impossible for us to beat the Thirteenth and Fourth Princes, but luck plays a very big role in the third stage. This is why even the professional information agencies can''t guess who will become the Crown Prince," Old Ying continued. He was scared that everyone would be too pressured.


    "En, the Crown Prince isn''t always determined by who is the strongest. There has been at least one instance of a prince ranked 5th becoming the Crown Prince," Shi Yulei added. He was scared that the others would be too pressured as well, so he worked with Old Ying and the Ninth Prince.


    "Oh, so brother Ninth Prince still has a chance. Don''t worry." Zhou Su''er suddenly stood up and patted the Ninth Prince''s shoulder.


    Shi Yulei and Old Ying looked around, and their expressions instantly stiffened. In reality, the members of the Ninth Prince''s team didn''t feel worried at all.


    Zhou Su''er was obviously someone that didn''t really care from the start. Shen Jizi had his eyes closed as he sat quietly on the side, and no one knew what he was calculating. Zhao Feng seemed to have entered a state of cultivation, and after Jing Kai was branded with the Dark Heart Seal, his attitude had changed dramatically as well.


    Only Su Qingling felt responsible and had a solemn attitude.


    "There''s still ten days left. Everyone try to increase your strength as much as you can and be ready," Old Ying said before leaving with the Ninth Prince.


    Seeing that the meeting had ended, Zhao Feng got up and left as well. Although he had entered a state of cultivation, he still knew everything that went on in the outside world as well as he knew his own palms and fingers, so he obviously heard every exchange.


    Zhao Feng was currently cultivating the Undying Sacred Lightning Body. After fighting with his Sacred Lightning Body for so long, and with the help of the Emperor of Death''s Death Intent pushing his potential, Zhao Feng could now cultivate the Undying Sacred Lightning Body.


    The damage reduction of an undying body was very obvious. It could completely ignore normal attacks. Furthermore, the undying characteristic could complement the Sacred Body of a Sacred Lord. Zhao Feng had just become an Emperor, but he needed to create a solid foundation to break through to the Mystic Light Realm and hopefully succeed on his first try.


    He had also obtained the complete Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. He felt that, if he cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to the highest level, it would be extremely beneficial to him.


    "Oh yeah, Zhou Su''er, do you know what a Three Life Evil Ghost Flower is used for?" Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something.


    The ghost flower that he originally didn''t really care about in the Imperial Sky Inheritance was extremely important to Sacred Lord Black Demon. He believed that the Three Life Evil Ghost Flower should be useful in many different areas, not just one.


    "Why are you asking me such a thing? The Three Life Evil Ghost Flower is a top-tier material to create a Demonic Dao clone, and it can increase how fast the clone is formed as well as increase one''s power."


    Zhou Su''er was slightly surprised. Zhao Feng hadn''t cultivated any Demonic Dao techniques before, so why was he asking her about that thing?


    "Are you planning to create a clone that cultivates the Demonic Dao later?" Zhou Su''er asked.


    Zhao Feng may have obtained a rare Demonic Dao clone secret skill somewhere.


    "No, I''m just casually asking."


    Zhao Feng had a calm expression. From the looks of it, the Three Life Evil Ghost Flower was indeed a very precious treasure to cultivators of the Demonic Dao.


    Cloning secret techniques were techniques that only Sacred Lords had. One would only cultivate such a secret skill after reaching the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, or perhaps a particularly strong beginner Sacred Lord.


    The strength of a clone was related to the tier of the secret skill, so a herb that could increase the strength of a clone was extremely precious. It was the same as upgrading the rank of a skill


    After learning the use of the Three Life Evil Ghost Flower, Zhao Feng felt that it was even more useless to him.


    Zhao Feng entered the Spiritual Pet Garden again after exiting the metallic room.


    "Do you need me to take care of your spiritual pets or train them? Or do you want to buy some?" A short elder slowly walked over.


    "I need ten Emperor-level flying beasts."


    This time, Zhao Feng chose ten Dragon Winged Eagles, which could be considered a small pack of flying beasts.


    After leaving the Spiritual Pet Garden, Zhao Feng gave the ten Dragon Winged Eagles one completely dim piece of Dragon Jade each.


    These ten pieces of Dragon Jade were the ones that the little thieving cat had stolen from the Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords in Zhao Feng''s Little World. The draconic providence within them had already been given to the Ninth Prince.


    Shua!


    The ten Dragon Winged Eagles each gripped a piece of Dragon Jade, then flew into the sky in different directions.


    "There''s not much time left till the Crown Prince trial comes to an end. We need to gather as much draconic providence as we can."


    Since Zhao Feng had agreed to help the Ninth Prince and took up one of the positions, he would obviously give it his all.


    After entering the Heaven''s Legacy City, no one would leave to gather any more draconic providence. Everyone would increase their own strength by searching for fortune in the Heaven''s Legacy City.


    In the past, some beast tamers had attempted to use beasts to gather draconic providence, but it was very risky. It would be bad if the beasts met danger while gathering draconic providence and lost the Dragon Jade.


    Zhao Feng was different from them though. He could see whatever the flying beasts saw through the Dark Heart Seal. If there was any danger, he could just warn the spiritual pets to leave or use his Eye of Heaven to help them.


    All of this could happen because of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. If he didn''t have that, he wouldn''t be able to share the sight of almost twenty flying beasts at the same time, not to mention all the other stuff he still had to do.


    Ten days passed by in a flash, and Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body finally had a wisp of the undying attribute.


    Jing Kai also reached the Quasi-Sacred Lord level. This was a good thing for the entire team.


    On this day, the Ninth Prince''s team came to the field in the very center of the Heaven''s Legacy City. In front of a dazzling fountain were metallic steps made from a very unique material. Above the steps was a gray-and-white stone stage.


    The members of the Ninth Prince''s team walked onto the stone stage.


    Weng~


    The Ninth Prince took out the pseudo Crown Prince Seal and imprinted it onto the gray-and-white stone stage


    Weng~~ Boom! Boom!


    The entire stone stage started to rise into the air, and so did everyone standing on it.


    In the air above the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, a dim screen finally showed some images.


    Even with the sensing arrays in the pseudo Crown Prince Seals, they had no effect in the Heaven''s Legacy City. Only when the third stage started and the princes rose into the air would the outside world be able to see them again.


    "I can finally see them now."


    "The game of the third stage is about to start."


    "I wonder which game the Heaven''s Legacy City will have this time."


    Everyone in the outside world was wondering how the third stage would proceed.


    The four stone stages floated in the air, and each took one of the cardinal directions, forming a square.


    Weng~~~


    A transparent elder suddenly appeared in the center of the four princes. From the state of the elder, one could tell he was a machine from a Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "Four princes, the Clash between Princes is about to start," the transparent elder''s voice sounded. "I am the judge of this game."


    A black piece of metal that couldn''t be properly seen appeared in the transparent elder''s hand.


    "This time, we will open¡­"


    The elder suddenly threw out the black piece of metal, and it released a mysterious glow of light.


    Jiang!


    The black piece of metal floated in the air and quickly expanded, and there were several explosion sounds. The black piece of metal finally turned into a metallic object that filled up the space in between the four princes.


    The board to a game of chess had been set.


    "A moving maze palace."

 984 Candy

    Chapter 984 - Candy


    The four princes and their teams stood on the stone stage and looked at the complex maze palace in front of them. This maze palace was made from a black metallic material, and it floated in the center of the four princes like a chessboard.


    However, this maze palace was actually a different world altogether.


    "Firstly, several people will be picked at random from each team according to the total amount of people and will enter the maze palace," the transparent elder''s voice suddenly sounded.


    Hu~~ Weng!


    An old and complex array instantly appeared on the stone stages that the four princes were standing on, and a unique undulation in space locked onto several people.


    From the Ninth Prince''s stone stage, silver light flashed around Old Ying, Su Qingling, Jing Kai, and Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The four disappeared from the Ninth Prince''s stone stage. At the same time, the Ninth Prince, Zhou Su''er, and the rest of the team saw those four appear in different locations in the maze palace.


    "What a unique skill." Zhou Su''er couldn''t help but sigh.


    Like them, a certain number of the other prince''s members were teleported into the maze palace.


    "They''re the chess pieces for the princes. Only the princes can communicate with and direct the members inside the moving maze palace by using the pseudo Crown Prince Seal." The transparent elder told them the rules of the game.


    "If two people meet each other in the maze palace, there will be a unique scenery, and the victor will obtain 10% of the draconic providence from the loser''s Dragon Jade."


    This meant that battles were completely random. As long as two people met in the maze palace, a unique fight would appear.


    The transparent elder gave a faint smile as he looked down at the maze palace; "Would every prince transfer their draconic providence to the members within the maze palace?"


    "Interesting." Zhao Feng inspected his surroundings as he stood within the maze palace.


    All his senses were heavily restricted here. He couldn''t even sense what was on the other side of the black wall.


    The maze palace''s ceiling was also made from the black metallic material that created the walls, but the princes were able to see what was happening within the maze palace from outside.


    From the perspective of those in the outside world, the maze palace was a chess board several hundred yards wide, and the people within it were small chess pieces. The princes were like gods that could look down and direct their team members.


    Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng''s Dragon Jade became brighter as draconic providence started to fill it.


    "Our situation is decent right now. At least Zhou Su''er didn''t enter the maze palace," the Ninth Prince''s voice sounded in everyone''s mind through the Dragon Jades.


    "Does this mean that doctors from other groups have entered?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    "That is indeed the case," the Ninth Prince replied.


    The four from the Ninth Prince''s team that entered the maze palace were Old Ying, Zhao Feng, Su Qingling, and Jing Kai. They didn''t get Shi Yulei, who was relatively strong, but they didn''t get Zhou Su''er either, who was a weak fighter. All in all, it could be considered good.


    On the other hand, a doctor that didn''t specialize in combat had entered for the Eighth Prince''s team. They were basically guaranteed to lose as soon as they came across anyone in the maze palace.


    As expected, luck played a big role in the third stage.


    "What should we do next?" Su Qingling''s cold voice sounded. She wasn''t very strong, so she was slightly scared.


    "I will warn you if any dangerous enemies appear around you," the Ninth Prince''s voice sounded.


    "It''s not that simple." Zhao Feng was certain. All four princes could see what was happening within the maze palace, so you couldn''t avoid someone just because you wanted to.


    This game tested the analysis and control abilities of a prince. If the Ninth Prince was skillful at being a commander, he would be able to direct Su Qingling to avoid fights while letting Zhao Feng and Old Ying fight against the other teams'' weaklings.


    "Zhao Feng, Sacred Lord Black Demon is moving toward you. The Thirteenth Prince should be giving directions to Sacred Lord Black Demon," the Ninth Prince''s voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Old Ying, there''s a relatively weaker Quasi-Sacred Lord on your front left. Go left, then choose a path that leads right¡­"


    "Su Qingling, go toward your right. There are fewer people there. Try to avoid fighting."


    The four princes on the stone stands were completely focused as they looked down at the maze palace. They put their hands on the pseudo Crown Prince Seals and communicated with the members in the maze palace and directed them to plunder the draconic providence from everyone else.


    "Let the games begin!" the transparent elder''s voice sounded in everyone''s ears.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The metallic walls in the maze palace instantly started to move around. Some walls sunk into the ground while other walls appeared out of nowhere.


    "The moving maze palace increases the difficulty for the princes to give directions," Zhao Feng said faintly.


    Since the landscape was continuously changing, the princes needed to pay attention to the situation of every member and give them clear directions at all times. Furthermore, an ever-changing landscape could stop members from memorizing the map of the maze palace.


    "The see-through ability of the God''s Spiritual Eye doesn''t work as well." Zhao Feng''s left eye looked at a wall next to him, but he was unable to see past it.


    "Zhao Feng, Sacred Lord Black Demon is approaching from your left," the Ninth Prince suddenly said. It was obvious that, while the Ninth Prince was busy directing the others, he had forgotten about Zhao Feng''s situation.


    "Ninth Prince, you don''t need to worry about Jing Kai or me. Just focus on directing Old Ying and Su Qingling," Zhao Feng told the Ninth Prince.


    A terrifying cold demonic pressure suddenly appeared from a path on his side.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    "Zhao Feng, your day of death has arrived!"


    Sacred Lord Black Demon had a cruel smile as he approached Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had a calm expression. He inspected his surroundings while looking at Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    Weng~ Weng~


    When the two were only ten meters away from each another, the scenery around them suddenly disappeared.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Black Demon appeared in a different place.


    "When two people meet, there will be a change in scenery," Zhao Feng murmured the rules that the transparent elder had said.


    This place was a plain filled with many weird trees that were a thousand yards high. Sacred Lord Black Demon and Zhao Feng both appeared in this place.


    "Uncle, Uncle, my kite is stuck on that tree. Can you get it for me?" There was a little kid next to Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Black Demon who was jumping around.


    "Little brat, fuck off." Sacred Lord Black Demon waved his robes in anger, and a surge of black demonic power formed a dragon that charged toward the little kid.


    Weng~~


    An invisible barrier suddenly appeared around the little kid, and Sacred Lord Black Demon''s attack was rebounded back at him. Sacred Lord Black Demon jumped up in fright and instantly thrust out his palm, nullifying the attack.


    "Sacred Lord Black Demon, right now, you and Zhao Feng are in a game. You can''t harm the little boy. Instead, you have to do as he says," the Thirteenth Prince''s voice sounded in Sacred Lord Black Demon''s mind.


    "Dammit, this fucking little brat." Sacred Lord Black Demon''s eyes bulged with anger, but there was nothing he could do. He originally thought that he would fight Zhao Feng after meeting him, but they entered a weird game instead and had to follow the rules.


    "Zhao Feng?" Sacred Lord Black Demon suddenly realized that Zhao Feng was already flying toward a tree that had a red kite stuck on it.


    Hu~


    Sacred Lord Black Demon instantly leapt into the air and chased after Zhao Feng.


    "Hmm? What terrifying gravity!" Zhao Feng felt an invisible force of gravity bearing down on him. The higher he flew, the stronger the gravity.


    This tree was a thousand yards tall. Zhao Feng was speechless; the little kid was flying his kite this high in the air? From the looks of it, this scenery should be fake, and the contents were made up by the Heaven''s Legacy Race, so it couldn''t be measured by normal standards.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body, and his body released a brilliant golden flash of lightning. With the help of the Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng''s resistance and speed increased dramatically.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng instantly charged up several hundred yards.


    "There''s a strong gravity here." Sacred Lord Black Demon''s expression was grim, but he had a Sacred Body and had stronger resistance.


    "Black Demon Flash!" Black flames rose around Sacred Lord Black Demon, and a surge of black flames swirled around his legs.


    Hu~


    The surge of black flames exploded beneath his legs, and he charged upward as if he was sliding through the air.


    "Hmph!" Without saying anything else, Zhao Feng ignited the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Bam!


    With a series of explosions, Zhao Feng''s speed was increased to the limit, and he shot toward the tree.


    Since Zhao Feng had taken action a step earlier than Sacred Lord Black Demon, he successfully obtained the red kite first.


    "Zhao Feng, the kite is mine!" Sacred Lord Black Demon roared as he charged upward.


    "Blood Devil Charge!" Zhao Feng was covered in flames, and there were sounds of explosions around him. The image of a blood-red sun with a spinning whirlpool in the middle started to appear behind him.


    Hu~ Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s scarlet-blood-colored wings left a trail of blood-colored light as the blood-red sun behind his back released a radiance of gold-and-red light. With the addition of the Blood Devil Charge, Zhao Feng was like an ancient Golden Crow as he charged downward with the kite.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The gravity that restrained Zhao Feng earlier now helped him and pushed his speed to the maximum.


    "Not good!" Sacred Lord Black Demon''s expression changed dramatically. His heart trembled, and he could feel how powerful Zhao Feng''s charge was even from this distance.


    Sacred Lord Black Demon didn''t specialize in body-strengthening, so he obviously wouldn''t clash with Zhao Feng head-on. He immediately moved aside and dodged Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "Hehe, goodbye." Zhao Feng didn''t bother with Sacred Lord Black Demon and quickly sped toward the ground.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng did a flip and handed the kite over to the little boy.


    "Thank you, Uncle! I have a piece of candy for Uncle!" The little boy happily took the kite and extended a small chubby hand. A substandard God Crystal quietly lay on it.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes faltered for a moment before quickly taking away the substandard God Crystal.


    "Dammit, Zhao Feng!" Sacred Lord Black Demon just arrived and was about to attack Zhao Feng, but a mechanical voice sounded at this instant, "Victor, Zhao Feng."


    Ten percent of the draconic providence within Sacred Lord Black Demon''s Dragon Jade then flowed into Zhao Feng''s Dragon Jade.


    Hu~ Weng!


    The scenery around them started to twist and disappear. Zhao Feng returned to the maze palace, but his location was different. It looked like he had appeared in a random spot in the maze palace.


    "So, that''s how it is."


    After experiencing it for the first time, Zhao Feng understood almost all the rules of the game.

 985 Cheater

    Chapter 985 - Cheater


    The four princes above the Heaven''s Legacy Cities were completely concentrated on the maze palace as they used their pseudo Crown Prince Seals to direct their members inside the maze palace.


    Random transparent spheres occasionally appeared above the maze palace. Within these spheres were images of the fights. Inside one of them, Zhao Feng shot toward a tree and grabbed a red kite.


    "As expected of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Their creation ability is unimaginable. Who knows how many secret dimensions are contained within this one game?" Shi Yulei was stunned, and he felt slightly regretful that he wasn''t able to experience it himself.


    Shen Jizi looked at the maze palace below and didn''t seem to focus on anything. Instead, he seemed to be divining something.


    "Good! Zhao Feng defeated Sacred Lord Black Demon and won 10% of his draconic providence," Shi Yulei exclaimed.


    The sphere showing Zhao Feng then disappeared.


    "Brother Zhao has courage and skill." The Ninth Prince let out a breath. Because of his error, Sacred Lord Black Demon managed to approach Zhao Feng and start a fight, but luckily, Zhao Feng won. Zhao Feng''s adaptive abilities toward unknown environments easily surpassed others.


    "I''ll listen to Zhao Feng and just direct Old Ying and Su Qingling." The Ninth Prince believed Zhao Feng''s decision.


    Within the moving maze palace, Jing Kai met an elder in azure robes from the Fourth Prince''s team.


    "Hahaha! It''s Jing Kai from the Ninth Prince''s team!" The elder in azure robes revealed a wicked smile as he charged forward. As soon as he made it within a certain range of Jing Kai:


    Weng~


    The scenery around them started to twist, and they appeared in another dimension.


    Jing Kai faced the elder in azure robes within a forest. Several hundred villagers were crying and begging as they knelt behind Jing Kai.


    "Hero, please save our village. That group of bandits has come again."


    "Please help us get rid of these bandits."


    On the other hand, behind the azure-robed elder were several dozen fierce-looking bandits holding big swords and axes.


    "Big bro, let''s attack."


    "Yeah, we brothers haven''t eaten meat in several months."


    The azure-robed elder''s eyes bulged out, and his moustache blew upward in anger. Although he knew everything here was just random and all the contents were fake, he was the Regulations Elder of a three-star power in reality, but in this game, he was the leader of a group of bandits?


    "Jing Kai, let''s end this." The azure-robed elder charged out impatiently.


    "Three Stances of the Green Ocean!" The elder in azure robes waved his hand, and waves of water formed a dark green whirlpool that swept toward Jing Kai.


    Jing Kai was on guard, and a bright golden light appeared around him.


    Shu~~


    The golden light clashed with the dark green water. The power of the shockwave destroyed the nearby mountains and rivers.


    "Hehe, Jing Kai, you''ve just reached the Quasi-Sacred Lord level, right?" The azure-robed elder laughed.


    Boom!


    Just as the dark green water covered Jing Kai and was about to completely engulf him, a faint golden Eye of Heaven appeared above them both. A surge of Eye Intent that reached the heavens suddenly shot toward the azure-robed elder.


    "Arghh!" The azure-robed elder screamed as ten thousand bolts of lightning blasted his soul, and he instantly froze. Jing Kai instantly charged over, and countless golden beams of light slew the bandits.


    "Victor, Jing Kai," a mechanical voice sounded.


    "How is this possible! That eye¡­" The elder in azure robes had a stunned and fearful expression.


    Hu~


    Ten percent of the azure-robed elder''s draconic providence entered Jing Kai''s Dragon Jade.


    "Thank you, Master," Jing Kai said in a low tone.


    At the same time, the villagers behind him erupted in cheers.


    "Hero, thank you for saving our village. This gift is just a bit of our gratitude."


    The expressions of everyone on the Fourth Prince''s stone stage froze. How did the azure-robed elder lose? And what was that faint golden eye that appeared in the sky?


    "Fourth Prince, I don''t know either. When I was fighting with Jing Kai, a powerful Eye Intent suddenly appeared in the sky¡­." the elder explained helplessly. He felt that he had lost too unfairly.


    That golden eye¡­ could it be Zhao Feng? The Fourth Prince remembered Zhao Feng''s eye and thought.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes within the maze palace.


    "The Eye of Heaven uses too much Eye Intent," Zhao Feng said in a light tone.


    Zhao Feng could talk with and interact with anyone that had a Dark Heart Seal. He could also see through their eyes and use the Eye of Heaven to help them.


    However, this was the first time he had used the Eye of Heaven through another dimension. Luckily, the secret dimension wasn''t very far away from the moving maze palace, and the structure of the secret dimension was extremely simple.


    Zhao Feng was better at helping Jing Kai than the Ninth Prince. At this moment, the Ninth Prince was fully focused on Old Ying and Su Qingling.


    Zhao Feng started to take action as well, but he didn''t meet anyone else after walking for a long time.


    "Looks like I revealed too much of my strength, and now everyone is avoiding me." Zhao Feng sighed helplessly.


    The strength he displayed in the previous stage was completely comparable to the older Sacred Lords. Since most of those that were participating in the maze palace were Quasi-Sacred Lords, they obviously wanted to avoid Zhao Feng.


    "This means that I will only meet Sacred Lords." Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed.


    Although he wasn''t scared of Sacred Lords head-on, there were many possibilities in the different secret dimensions, and Sacred Lords were stronger than him in most aspects. Zhao Feng didn''t want to interact with only Sacred Lords. It would be much easier if he dealt with Quasi-Sacred Lords and Emperors.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll just rely on luck."


    A surge of Wind Lightning appeared around Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    A pair of Scarlet Wings of Lightning extended behind his back.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng chose a random direction, turned into a bolt of lightning, and flashed forward.


    While everyone else was carefully moving under the guidance of their princes, Zhao Feng used a speed-based secret technique and moved through the everchanging maze palace as quickly as possible. Whoever he met first would be the one he would fight.


    "Luo Zun, not good! Zhao Feng is approaching you!" the Eighth Prince''s voice suddenly sounded in Luo Zun''s mind.


    Luo Zun paused for a moment. Although he knew that he wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match, he didn''t want to run this time. Besides, the challenges in the moving maze palace weren''t completely reliant on strength.


    "Zhao Feng!" Luo Zun charged forward when he saw Zhao Feng appear in front of him.


    Weng~~


    They appeared within a world of snow and ice.


    "I really need the Frozen Ice Mystic Iron at the bottom of this thousand-year old mystic ice. Which one of you can mine some for me?" A middle-aged male wearing cold-resistance clothes looked at Zhao Feng and Luo Zun.


    "Zhao Feng, sorry, but I specialize in ice." Luo Zun puffed out his chest with a smug smile.


    Although it wasn''t very fair if he won against Zhao Feng using his forte, luck was a part of strength.


    A surge of extreme coldness appeared from Luo Zun''s left hand, and the temperature nearby dropped by another couple dozen degrees. Even the air was completely frozen. Luo Zun pressed his hand onto the layer of ice and released a surge of cold power.


    Crack!


    The layer of ice on the ground exploded, but it wasn''t enough. It was hard to know how deep the Frozen Ice Mystic Iron was.


    Zhao Feng looked at the layer of ice below. The Frozen Ice Mystic Iron is a thousand yards deep underground.


    He also had an Ice-Water bloodline, but it specialized in defense and recovery. In terms of digging, Luo Zun was probably better.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and leaned on a spade as it revealed a swagger-filled expression, as if it was its time to shine again. The little thieving cat landed on the ground and dug the spade into the layer of ice.


    Beng~ Boom~~~~!


    The ground suddenly started to shake. Zhao Feng''s left eye saw the Frozen Ice Mystic Iron underground move a certain distance as the layer of ice cracked.


    Luo Zun revealed a surprised expression and looked at Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat. He felt the depths of the ice shake just now. He didn''t understand what Zhao Feng and his spiritual pet were doing.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The little thieving cat once again dug the spade into the ground.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The entire depths of the ice started to shake and crack, as if a beast was about to charge out from underground.


    Bam! Bam!


    The shaking started to become stronger and stronger until the entire ground started to shake.


    Luo Zun revealed a surprised expression. He didn''t know what Zhao Feng''s spiritual pet was doing, but the ice a thousand yards underground was shattering.


    Beng~~ Crack! Crack!


    Large holes appeared wherever the little thieving cat dug. If one looked down, they could see the layers of ice underneath shattering inch by inch.


    A gold-and-white piece of iron was stuck within the cracks.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng instantly jumped into the hole and took the Frozen Ice Mystic Iron.


    "How is this possible?" Luo Zun, who was still circulating his power of Ice, was instantly dazed. Even now, he didn''t understand what Zhao Feng and his spiritual pet did to make the Frozen Ice Mystic Iron, which was a thousand yards underground, jump out by itself.


    "Thank you, young man. This is your reward." The middle-aged male revealed a faint smile and handed over several weird stones.


    "Victor, Zhao Feng." A voice appeared in the dimension, and Zhao Feng''s Dragon Jade lit up a bit more. The next instant, Zhao Feng returned to the maze palace.


    "This still doesn''t work."


    Zhao Feng just stood there. If it wasn''t for the fact that Luo Zun decided to charge over to him, Zhao Feng wouldn''t have even realized that someone was there. His senses were heavily suppressed, and his left eye couldn''t see through anything. It was indeed quite troublesome.


    "If my left eye can''t see through the walls of the maze palace, then what about this?" Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something.


    Weng~~


    A faint golden disturbance of light appeared on Zhao Feng''s eye. While his left eye had the ability to see through objects inherently, the new ability of his golden eye had an even-stronger version of that ability.


    "It works!"


    Zhao Feng was extremely happy. At this moment, wherever he looked with his left eye, that place would turn into a world made up of faint golden atoms. He was able to see through several dozen metallic walls now. The structure of the atoms that made up the metallic walls was extremely complex. It was actually several dozen times more complex than the structure of a peak Earth-grade weapon.


    Of course, that wasn''t what Zhao Feng was focusing on.


    "This means that everyone within a range of ten walls of me will be under my control." Zhao Feng was secretly overjoyed. This would be much easier.


    However, white light suddenly started to glitter around the transparent elder above the moving maze palace.


    "A cheater has been found and will be punished."

 986 Punishmen

    Chapter 986 - Punishment


    "A cheater has been found and will be punished," the transparent elder''s voice sounded in everyone''s ears.


    "Who cheated?" someone immediately asked.


    The princes could only direct their members within the maze palace. As for those outside the maze palace, they couldn''t do anything. This meant that the cheater was probably someone within the maze palace.


    "What kind of punishment will they give?"


    "There have been situations like this in the past in previous Crown Prince trials. The punishment is usually something that restricts the cheater and makes the challenges disadvantageous for them." The eyes of an experienced Quasi-Sacred Lord flashed.


    However, no one knew who the cheater was, and they didn''t know how this transparent elder decided someone was a cheater.


    Within the moving maze palace:


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat suddenly appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and pointed at his left eye with a gloating expression.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng immediately circulated his left eye and looked at the little thieving cat.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat instantly avoided Zhao Feng''s gaze and turned into a streak of light that entered the Misty Spatial World.


    "Looks like the cheater is me," Zhao Feng concluded from the little thieving cat''s expression.


    He didn''t know that using his left eye would result in being declared a cheater. The punishment from the Heaven''s Legacy Cities would probably be very bad.


    At the same time, a cold, powerful mechanical voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Since you have an item or tool that can see through objects, this has heavily affected the rules of the maze palace and the fairness of the game. Therefore, you will be punished.


    "Firstly, your location will be revealed to everyone in the maze palace. They will be able to sense your rough location.


    "Secondly, you cannot leave the game unless you lose three times the normal amount of draconic providence.


    "Thirdly, you will be hated by the various characters in the sceneries and become the villain."


    Zhao Feng paused for a long time before crying out, "That''s the punishment?"


    Zhao Feng instantly let out a breath. He originally thought that the Heaven''s Legacy City would judge him personally or something.


    "Looks like I was worried for nothing."


    The three rules only affected the game and gave the cheater a disadvantage.


    "Hehe, this will be a lot easier."


    Zhao Feng suddenly started to smile.


    The first part of the punishment allowed everyone in the maze palace to sense Zhao Feng''s location. This meant that the remaining members within the maze palace would move toward him. This would be a nightmare for anyone else under normal circumstances, but that''s exactly what Zhao Feng wanted.


    The second rule was that Zhao Feng had to lose at least 3 times as much draconic providence than the others before he could leave. However, Zhao Feng didn''t think that he would have a negative amount of draconic providence at the end of the moving maze palace. Therefore, he completely ignored this punishment.


    "The third rule¡­ hated by the characters and become the villain?"


    Zhao Feng hesitated for a moment. He didn''t understand how this affected him. Zhao Feng didn''t really care about being the villain since everything in the scenery was fake anyway. However, being hated by the characters¡­?


    All in all, these three punishments didn''t affect Zhao Feng much. The first "punishment" was actually a reward for him.


    At the same time, a mechanical voice sounded in the minds of everyone else in the maze palace.


    "All of you can now sense the rough location of the cheater. If you defeat the cheater, you will be able to obtain plentiful rewards."


    Everyone else apart from Zhao Feng was stunned.


    "Who is the cheater?" This was the first question in everyone''s heart. Either way though, defeating the cheater gave extra rewards, so everyone started to move in a certain direction.


    "Ninth Prince, tell Old Ying and Su Qingling to not look for the cheater." Zhao Feng heard the announcement through Jing Kai, so he warned the Ninth Prince.


    When two members on the same team met, they needed to fight as well, so the princes tried to spread their members out.


    "Brother Zhao, you''re the cheater?" the Ninth Prince stuttered.


    "Yeah," Zhao Feng replied simply. It''s not like he cheated on purpose.


    "Uh¡­ okay." The Ninth Prince had black lines over his life.


    As expected, Zhao Feng was different from the rest no matter what he did. While everyone else was still trying to understand the rules and environment, Zhao Feng had already started to cheat.


    "Zhao Feng, the punishment for cheating¡­" The Ninth Prince was slightly worried. The transparent elder in the sky didn''t tell anyone who the cheater was, and they didn''t say what punishments the cheater received.


    "You don''t need to worry about it. There''s nothing important," Zhao Feng said urgently. He already saw a few figures through the wall with his left eye.


    "Okay, then be careful." Seeing that Zhao Feng didn''t want to tell him, the Ninth Prince didn''t continue asking.


    "Old Ying, Su Qingling, don''t move toward the cheater. It''s Zhao Feng," the Ninth Prince immediately messaged.


    Elsewhere:


    "The cheater should be around here. I just don''t know how far away they are." Xi Peng of the Ground Demon Cult from the Thirteenth Prince''s team had a solemn expression. Even though he didn''t know the identity of the cheater, he still instinctively moved toward that direction.


    "Xi Peng, watch out! Zhao Feng is right next to you!" the Thirteenth Prince immediately messaged when he saw the situation Xi Peng was in. It was obvious that the Thirteenth Prince had to direct too many people at once and was slightly powerless.


    "Zhao Feng is nearby?" Xi Peng''s heart shook, and he immediately retreated. He knew that he wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match, and he knew Zhao Feng had many skills. Zhao Feng had a very big advantage in the sceneries.


    "Hehe, you want to run?" Zhao Feng revealed a cold smile as he spread his Scarlet Wings of Lightning and used his Lightning Wings Flying Technique to fly through the maze palace.


    Xi Peng couldn''t see Zhao Feng, and he could only escape under the Thirteenth Prince''s directions. He was not very agile in the moving maze palace. On the other hand, Zhao Feng had already locked onto Xi Peng. He knew the landscape well and soon caught up to Xi Peng.


    Weng~~


    The scenery nearby started to change, and a populated city appeared in sight.


    "Dammit, it''s a fighting stage?" Xi Peng''s heart fell. He had witnessed Zhao Feng defeat Sacred Lord Dark Soul already, so Xi Peng had no confidence at all in defeating Zhao Feng.


    "The two of you have fought to a draw, but I only have one daughter. How about this: my daughter will throw out a silk ball, and whoever gets it will be the son-in-law of the Chen Family."


    A chubby middle-aged male spoke from inside a one-hundred-yard-tall celebration building in front of the stage.


    Xi Peng raised his head and looked around. Cheers and words of congratulations sounded below the stage.


    "The two of them are both very skillful and strong. Congratulations!"


    "I wonder who will be able to marry the daughter of the Chen Family."


    A pretty female in a red wedding dress within the celebration building looked shyly toward Xi Peng. Next to her was a young servant and the chubby middle-aged male.


    "It''s not a fight?" Xi Peng was overjoyed. The scenery here showed that he and Zhao Feng had already come to a draw after a fight.


    "From the looks of it, whoever gets the silk ball will be the winner." Zhao Feng started to think. The pretty female within the building looked at Zhao Feng and revealed a disdainful expression.


    "Father, that youth is ugly and has no character at all. He wears poor clothes and is radiating a disgusting smell," the precious daughter of the Chen Family whispered


    "Daughter, now that you''ve brought it up, I feel so too." The chubby middle-aged male inspected Zhao Feng with disgust.


    "On the other hand, that middle-aged man is steady and mature. Wisdom seems to radiate from his eyes. He''s so charming!" The pretty female whose fianc¨¦ was about to be decided looked at Xi Peng with a blush and didn''t dare to look at him in the eyes.


    Their conversation obviously didn''t escape Zhao Feng''s and Xi Peng''s ears.


    "This, this¡­" Xi Peng was dazed and his face went red. He suddenly felt as if he had become the protagonist in this scenery ¨C every side character seemed to like him.


    "So, this is what it means to be hated by the characters." Zhao Feng was speechless. The characters looked down on him.


    Hu~


    The female in the building looked lovingly toward Xi Peng before throwing out the silk ball.


    "What?" Xi Peng instantly called out. He and Zhao Feng were standing on opposite sides of the stage, but the pretty female had thrown the silk ball directly toward Xi Peng.


    Even Xi Peng was slightly embarrassed. "Hehe. Zhao Feng, victory is mine!"


    Xi Peng leapt toward the silk ball.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng harrumphed coldly. He finally understood what the third punishment meant. Zhao Feng was going to be at a disadvantage in almost all the sceneries.


    According to the setting of this game, he and Xi Peng couldn''t attack each another, they could only try to obtain the silk ball. However, the silk ball flew toward Xi Peng and was very far away from Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng''s opponent was a Sacred Lord, he might have lost already.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared above Zhao Feng''s shoulder and patted Zhao Feng, as if it was comforting him.


    Hu~


    The dark golden necklace turned into a bow.


    Weng~


    The little thieving cat pulled back the bowstring, and a dark golden ray of light shot out toward the silk ball.


    Whoosh!


    The dark golden ray of light returned with the silk ball.


    The little thieving cat''s weapon had been improved by the Heaven''s Legacy City and was far more agile than before.


    Zhao Feng took the silk ball.


    "What? How is this possible?" Xi Peng was stunned as he looked at the bow in the little thieving cat''s paws.


    "Since this hero has caught the silk ball, then my daughter will be yours." The chubby middle-aged male in the building sighed.


    The silk ball that Zhao Feng caught turned into a bright red flower with a pleasant smell that calmed him down when he smelt it.


    "Victor, Zhao Feng."


    A surge of draconic providence then entered Zhao Feng''s Dragon Jade.


    "Xi Peng, I already warned you, but Zhao Feng still caught up to you¡­ and then you lost!" The Thirteenth Prince''s enraged roar sounded in Xi Peng''s mind.


    Weng~~


    The scenery disappeared, and Zhao Feng appeared in the maze palace once more.


    Everyone had lost the location of the cheater just now, but after Zhao Feng appeared in a random spot in the maze palace, they were directed toward him again.


    "The cheater is in that direction."


    Many competitors looked in the direction of Zhao Feng''s location.

 987 Clash between Two

    Chapter 987 - Clash Between Two


    "Zhao Feng, good job!" the Ninth Prince couldn''t help but say.


    At the moment, Old Ying and Jing Kai had won two matches each. Under the Ninth Prince''s guidance, Su Qingling hadn''t met anyone, so she didn''t have any victories or losses, whereas Zhao Feng already had three wins. This meant that his team already had seven wins, which should be the best result amongst the four princes.


    The Ninth Prince obviously knew why. The reason Old Ying had successfully won two fights so far was because of his guidance. Since the Ninth Prince only needed to direct Old Ying and Su Qingling, he had it much easier than the rest. Comparatively, the other princes had at least five or six people inside the maze palace. The Thirteenth Prince had the most; seven people from his team had entered the moving maze palace.


    The other princes had to monitor all their team members and communicate with them. They obviously couldn''t do whatever they pleased, so they made many mistakes.


    "Dammit, Zhao Feng!" the Thirteenth Prince cursed. One of his members had met Zhao Feng in the maze palace and lost two times now.


    "Your Highness, Zhao Feng seems to be purposely troubling us."


    "This Zhao Feng is too evil. We didn''t even offend him."


    Several members behind the Thirteenth Prince discussed, and the Thirteenth Prince''s face went black. He realized that Zhao Feng seemed to be purposely causing trouble for his members.


    "Hmph, you want me to lose?" The Thirteenth Prince harrumphed angrily. "Sacred Lord Black Demon, Zhao Feng is straight ahead and to the right."


    The instant Zhao Feng''s challenge ended and he returned to the maze palace, the Thirteenth Prince directed Sacred Lord Black Demon. Two Sacred Lords from his team had entered the maze palace, and only these two Sacred Lords could defeat Zhao Feng.


    "Hehe." Zhao Feng saw Sacred Lord Black Demon approaching and avoided him, then started to scout for others nearby. As long as he completed one of the maze''s challenges, he would reappear in a random location. It would be extremely difficult for Sacred Lord Black Demon to meet Zhao Feng unless the latter appeared right next to him.


    "Hmm? Another Sacred Lord?" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped, and he changed directions again to avoid them.


    A white bolt of lightning was flashing through the maze palace. He had white hair, and his expression was very cold and calm. He was the number one expert from the Fourth Prince''s team, Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning from Sky Suspension Palace.


    The method he was using was the same as Zhao Feng''s moments ago. He just charged around the maze palace and would fight whoever he met.


    After avoiding Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning, Zhao Feng continued to search for some targets.


    "I should finish off the Thirteenth Prince''s and the Eighth Prince''s team members first."


    Only two princes could emerge victorious from the third stage, and it was based on the total number of wins from each team. The two princes who had the lowest number of wins would be eliminated.


    The victor being decided by the number of wins was relatively fair because the number of people one prince had in the maze palace didn''t affect the proportion of wins much. If one group had more people, they might win more, but they also might lose more. At the same time, even if they made it through, they might lose a lot of draconic providence because they had more members losing, which would mean utter defeat in the fourth stage.


    The third stage tested the princes. They had to be good commanders and win as many games as possible while making sure they had enough draconic providence for the final stage. This required heavy analysis and thinking abilities.


    "The Ninth Prince doesn''t have enough draconic providence."


    Zhao Feng needed to keep defeating the Eighth and Thirteenth Princes to prevent them from accumulating wins and to steal more draconic providence for the Ninth Prince. Otherwise, the Ninth Prince wouldn''t be able to defeat the Fourth Prince.


    Although Zhao Feng had sent some flying beasts with Dragon Jades to gather draconic providence, two of them already had accidents. When these two flying pets were in trouble, Zhao Feng was busy and couldn''t help them, so Zhao Feng couldn''t put all his hope on the spiritual pets. Furthermore, if they didn''t emerge victorious in the third stage, it wouldn''t matter how much draconic providence Zhao Feng collected from them.


    "Yu Tianhao!" Zhao Feng paused. Yu Tianhao was approaching him very fast, probably because the Eighth Prince was directing him.


    "If that''s the case, then let us fight again!" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile. He still remembered how Yu Tianhao had declared war on him during the fights for the positions. He obviously would give Yu Tianhao face.


    "Zhao Feng!" Yu Tianhao''s expression changed.


    Weng~ Hu!


    The scenery around them started to change, and the two appeared in a courtyard next to dazzling golden halls.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s settle it once and for all!" Battle-intent shot out of Yu Tianhao''s eyes, and a surge of limitless power was about to break out of his body.


    "Just what I was planning." The bloodline within Zhao Feng''s body seemed to start boiling.


    However, at this moment, the precious daughter of a big family walked over angrily.


    "I want to see a battle between spiritual pets!" the precious daughter roared at Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao.


    Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao looked at one another and decided to completely ignore her.


    "Aren''t the two of you beast tamers of my family? I want to see a fight between spiritual pets!" The precious daughter became angrier after seeing neither of them react.


    "I get angry just by looking at you. I don''t understand why the Bai Family would want such an ugly beast tamer." This precious daughter became even more enraged after seeing Zhao Feng and started to curse at him.


    Yu Tianhao paused for a moment. Why did the characters hate Zhao Feng so much?


    Zhao Feng was speechless. No matter how much the characters hated him, there was no need for them to mock him based on appearance every time.


    Zhao Feng immediately messaged Yu Tianhao, and the latter seemed to understand as he gave a faint smile toward the precious daughter; "Young lady, we have something to do right now. Can you wait for a while? We''ll definitely give you a good show between spiritual pets soon."


    Yu Tianhao repeated what Zhao Feng told him. He knew that he wasn''t allowed to attack the characters within the scenery.


    "This¡­" The young lady looked at Yu Tianhao''s eyes, and her face became slightly red.


    Zhao Feng was secretly happy. From the looks of it, all characters would favor his opponents.


    "No, I want to see a battle between spiritual pets." The young lady''s expression changed once more and she repeated.


    "Yu Tianhao, I''m sorry." Zhao Feng shook his head. The setting within the scenery was unable to be changed.


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, and a little Wind Wolf appeared.


    Yu Tianhao had an ugly expression, and his eyebrows locked together. He felt as if his True Yuan and bloodline were restricted by a certain power, and they were unable to be circulated.


    However, the main issue was that he had no spiritual pets.


    "I admit defeat," Yu Tianhao lowered his head after a long time and said unwillingly. He didn''t expect to enter such a scenery.


    Hu~


    A surge of draconic providence flowed into Zhao Feng''s Dragon Jade as Yu Tianhao left this dimension.


    "Sigh, this is your silver." The young lady didn''t like Zhao Feng, but she threw a few rare crafting stones behind before leaving. The scenery then started to fade away, and Zhao Feng returned to the maze palace.


    "As expected, luck is also very important." Zhao Feng was very sympathetic toward Yu Tianhao. Even he felt that Yu Tianhao lost unfairly.


    "The draconic providence within my Dragon Jade has almost reached the limit."


    Zhao Feng stopped and transferred his draconic providence to the Ninth Prince, only leaving 10% with himself.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng started to move again and find some other people.


    "Zhao Feng''s won seven in a row now!" Shi Yulei couldn''t help but exclaim.


    Other than Zhao Feng''s superb score, Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning had also won five in a row. Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning wasn''t just strong; he also had a certain level of understanding about herbs, spiritual pets, and geography.


    "Even Jing Kai has won three and only lost once." The Ninth Prince was very excited.


    Meanwhile, Su Qingling still hadn''t met anyone yet under the Ninth Prince''s precise control.


    "Your Highness Fourth Prince, the Ninth Prince''s team is acting weirdly. Their win rate is very high," a Quasi-Sacred Lord behind the Fourth Prince said as he looked at Zhao Feng, who was moving around within the maze palace.


    "That''s good. If the Ninth Prince can emerge victorious, then I''ll beat him without a doubt in the fourth stage," the Fourth Prince said while communicating with his members in the maze palace.


    "En, they only have four people gathering draconic providence in the maze palace. The amount they can obtain is limited." Senior Martial Brother Zhuge agreed with what the Fourth Prince said.


    The Ninth Prince just didn''t have enough draconic providence, so it was unlikely for him to become the Crown Prince even if he won this stage.


    On the other side, the Thirteenth Prince gritted his teeth as he stared at Zhao Feng. "This brat is indeed only picking on my members."


    Other than the fights against Zhao Feng, the win rate of his team was decent. However, Zhao Feng was able to find someone from his team and win every single time. Not only did this waste their time, it also wasted their draconic providence.


    Could Zhao Feng be the cheater? the Thirteenth Prince suddenly thought.


    He paid a lot of attention to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng moved very fast, and his target was always very clear, as if he had a map of the maze palace.


    Zhao Feng returned to the maze palace again after defeating another opponent.


    "Hmm? Xin Wuheng?" Zhao Feng''s left eye saw through several walls and found Xin Wuheng''s figure. He thought for a while before charging over.


    "Xin Wuheng, let''s have a fight." Zhao Feng wouldn''t overestimate himself against Xin Wuheng, and he wasn''t completely confident that he could win. However, Zhao Feng wanted to spar with Xin Wuheng and see his technique.


    "Zhao Feng''s voice?" Xin Wuheng''s ears twitched. Sound was also heavily suppressed in the maze palace.


    "Good!" Xin Wuheng received directions from the Fourth Prince and turned around.


    The two met at a corner, and the scenery around them started to change.


    Weng~ Hu!


    Xin Wuheng appeared on a flat rocky ground on a mountain range. There were two ghastly paths filled with countless bones and skeletons ahead of them. The cries of ghosts could be faintly heard from the depths. Directly in front of them was a tall, dark mountain with a cave in it. Ghost Fire and an air of wicked Yin radiated from it. Behind them was an official from a kingdom and countless elite swordsmen.


    "Heroes, please save the princess from the Black Iron Dragon. The King will reward you handsomely," the official said.


    "A battle like this isn''t bad either." Zhao Feng wanted to laugh after remembering what happened in the scenery with Yu Tianhao.


    "There are two paths here. Let''s see who can save the princess first." Xin Wuheng was very interested in this setting.


    "Okay, I will give five hundred elites to this hero." The official looked excitedly at Xin Wuheng, as if he was placing all his hope on him.


    "As for this hero¡­" The official''s eyebrows furrowed when he looked at Zhao Feng, as if he was suspicious of Zhao Feng''s capabilities.


    "I''ll give the remaining one hundred elites to you," the official shook his head and said unwillingly.

 988 Each revealing their Skill

    Chapter 988 - Each Revealing their Skill


    Zhao Feng''s expression didn''t change. He knew that something like this would happen. The official had given him one hundred elite swordsmen while Xin Wuheng received five hundred.


    Xin Wuheng paused for a moment before immediately questioning, "Zhao Feng, you''re the cheater, right?"


    His Divine Sense and his other senses were heavily suppressed in the maze palace. He couldn''t even sense what was behind a single wall, but Zhao Feng had found him from very far away. This made Xin Wuheng feel weird. Then, after thinking about the attitude of the characters toward Zhao Feng, Xin Wuheng connected it to something.


    "I only have one hundred elites, so I''m going to leave now." Zhao Feng didn''t reply to Xin Wuheng''s question and chose one of the paths. One hundred elite swordsmen followed behind him. These elite swordsmen were all at the Emperor rank. If one used them wisely, they would be a source of strong power.


    "Go!" Xin Wuheng exclaimed as he led the five hundred other elites toward the other path.


    The instant Zhao Feng entered the path, the piles of skeletons and the ground beneath them gave off weird sounds.


    Crack!


    A human-shaped skeleton holding a big sword and shield suddenly jumped out from underground. It had a pair of iron wings behind its back, and it radiated a chaotic and evil Emperor-level aura. Countless skeleton guards then crawled out from the mountain and filled the entire path.


    "Charge!" Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and merged his thoughts into the elite swordsmen, controlling them just like how he controlled beasts.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!" The Scarlet Wings of Lightning behind Zhao Feng''s back spread as he circulated his Sacred Lightning Body. Golden lightning instantly flashed around his body as he turned into a ball of scarlet lightning, and he was the first to charge out.


    "Break!" Zhao Feng slammed into the skeleton guards and crushed several dozen of them with his domineering Sacred Lightning Body.


    "Sacred Lightning Force Fist!" Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body started to crackle as he punched out in a unique rhythm, sending beams of light across Heaven and Earth.


    Hu~~ Boom! Boom!


    Fists made from golden lightning filled the air. They were extremely forceful and terrifying, and each attack could shatter several skeleton guards.


    Zhao Feng''s swordsmen were responsible for cleaning up the sides and the skeleton guards behind Zhao Feng, then following Zhao Feng''s footsteps.


    The two paths were only a couple dozen yards apart. Zhao Feng could see Xin Wuheng''s situation by just turning his head.


    Xin Wuheng walked at the very center while the five hundred swordsmen pushed forward on the two sides. Xin Wuheng waved his hands, and a profound ripple of water pushed the skeleton guards in front of him toward the two sides. The swordsmen would then quickly kill the skeleton guards. Their teamwork was perfect and very efficient. Xin Wuheng didn''t even waste any energy or True Yuan.


    "This Xin Wuheng¡­" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but praise and sigh.


    Xin Wuheng''s palm skill used the laws of Water to push aside the skeleton guards ahead of him toward the elite swordsmen, utilizing the full battle-power of his elites. While Zhao Feng also had an Ice-Water Bloodline and cultivated the Water of Wind Lightning, his understanding of Water wasn''t even close to Xin Wuheng.


    "Hmph. Scarlet Wind Lightning Storm!"


    The Scarlet Wings of Lightning behind Zhao Feng''s back started to quickly flap, and limitless Wind Lightning True Yuan shot out and formed a large storm of scarlet lightning.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng brought the Scarlet Wind Lightning Storm with him and charged forward.


    Hu~~ Shua! Shua!


    The skeleton guards were destroyed or pushed aside by the Scarlet Wind Lightning Storm before they were even able to approach Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng quickly pushed forward and overtook Xin Wuheng.


    His Scarlet Wind Lightning Storm had a very big range and filled the entire path. This meant that his elite swordsmen could quickly kill the other skeleton guards and follow him.


    "Who knows what kind of enemies or danger there will be later? I can''t just leave these elite swordsmen behind," Zhao Feng murmured. If he left these one hundred swordsmen behind, what would he use to defeat Xin Wuheng, who had five hundred elite swordsmen?


    Luckily, Zhao Feng controlled these one hundred swordsmen very well, so their battle-power was comparable to at least three hundred elites.


    After Xin Wuheng saw Zhao Feng quickly overtake him, he roared.


    "Ha!"


    His Palm Intent suddenly changed, and a layer of green light wrapped around his hands. The injuries to the elite swordsmen were quickly healed the green light shone onto them.


    Hu~


    Xin Wuheng stood still and waved his palms around. A unique and profound ripple merged into the ground below. Countless thick wooden vines suddenly grew on Xin Wuheng''s path. These wooden vines moved quickly and crushed some skeleton guards into the ground.


    Hu~ Hu~


    The remaining skeleton guards instantly flapped their iron wings and flew into the air.


    Teng~ Teng~


    Xin Wuheng and the elite swordsmen walked on the wooden vines as they moved, increasing their speed even more. The wooden vines around them moved agilely and would also block attacks and trap the skeleton guards.


    "What a profound use of Wood elemental techniques!" Zhao Feng paused for a moment.


    Xin Wuheng didn''t just have complete mastery over the laws of Water. His mastery of Wood had also reached the apex.


    Zhao Feng still remembered the Five Elemental Spatial Domain that Xin Wuheng had used in the Divine Illusion Dimension. This meant that Xin Wuheng''s mastery of the other elements might have reached the same level as well.


    Hu~


    A blazing glass-like flame surrounded Zhao Feng''s body, as if he was bathing in flames. The glass-like fire and his Sacred Lightning Body made him look like a flaming demonic sovereign. A powerful aura formed a wave of flames that spread in every direction and caused the temperature of the surrounding area to rise.


    Boom!


    With the usage of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, Zhao Feng''s speed doubled, and he turned into a ball of fire and lightning that smashed into the skeleton guards ahead of him.


    Zhao Feng merged the Fire of Wind Lightning and the fire of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline together. His entire body was covered in flames, and he was losing energy very quickly.


    Shua!


    The swordsmen behind Zhao Feng quickly followed behind him and easily finished off the remaining skeleton guards.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng left behind a blazing afterimage and turned into a streak of blood-colored fire, shooting forward by several dozen yards and once again destroying a group of skeleton guards.


    Unfortunately, Zhao Feng''s lifesteal effect from the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline didn''t work against these skeleton guards. Thus, Zhao Feng could only use it for a while before stopping and eating some medicine to recover his True Yuan and energy. Despite this, with the explosiveness of the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, Zhao Feng pushed forward extremely quickly and surpassed Xin Wuheng by several hundred meters.


    "As expected, that terrifying and powerful bloodline should be the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline." Xin Wuheng saw Zhao Feng push forward with unstoppable power.


    The explosiveness and speed of this bloodline definitely wasn''t the normal Blood Devil Sun bloodline. Furthermore, he could also tell that Zhao Feng''s one hundred elite swordsmen were very quick and had swift attacks. They all went for skeleton guards'' weaknesses, which was all because of Zhao Feng''s control.


    "Bloodlines may be powerful, but they can''t last for long," Xin Wuheng said calmly as he used the laws of Water and Wood to move forward steadily. He believed that Zhao Feng would need to rest after using his bloodline, which would slow him down.


    "Hehe, as expected of Xin Wuheng. He can maintain such a state of mind even after being surpassed by me." Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile.


    Xin Wuheng''s method was steady and stable. He didn''t move fast nor slow, and not much of his energy and True Yuan were used up.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll just save the princess before he enters the cave." Zhao Feng had a decisive tone. Since Xin Wuheng wasn''t in a rush, then Zhao Feng would keep charging forward while he was ahead.


    Lightning and fire flashed around the surface of Zhao Feng''s body.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng pushed forward with the same force even after using the Lightning Wings Flying Technique. At the same time, he still controlled the elites behind him to follow.


    After stopping and recovering his energy, Zhao Feng once again used the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline and charged forward.


    "Zhao Feng!" Xin Wuheng exclaimed. He had underestimated Zhao Feng''s recovery speed.


    How long had it been? Zhao Feng was already able to use his bloodline? The distance between them was getting bigger and bigger. Zhao Feng would be able to enter the cave very soon.


    "This is bad." Xin Wuheng''s expression changed dramatically, and he radiated a supreme aura despite his usually steady style.


    A five-colored light appeared around Xin Wuheng and slowly condensed into a Little World that covered him. His Little World was like a real world; there were mountains, rivers, and grass. The only problem was that it was small and slightly unstable.


    Hu~


    A supreme law radiated from Xin Wuheng''s Little World.


    "Charge."


    Xin Wuheng said one simple word and flew out with the five-colored Little World around him.


    Hu~ Hu~


    Several dozen skeleton guards instantly flew into the air and blocked Xin Wuheng.


    Bam! Crack!


    When these skeleton guards touched the Little World around Xin Wuheng, they were confronted with a terrifying law, and their bodies instantly shattered.


    Xin Wuheng left the five hundred elites behind and leapt into the air.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    All the skeleton guards that approached him were shattered into pieces. Zhao Feng could obviously see all of this.


    "That¡­ that''s a Little World constructed by all five elements!"


    Zhao Feng was stunned. He had already analyzed that, if one wanted a Little World comparable to a real world, they would first need to comprehend all five elements and merge them into their Little World.


    He didn''t expect Xin Wuheng to have already reached this level. Although the Little World was small and slightly unstable, it wasn''t something a single-elemental Little World could be compared to.


    At this moment, Xin Wuheng used his Little World and charged over.


    "Blood Devil Charge!" Zhao Feng immediately used the secret technique that complemented the Blood Devil Sun bloodline. The glass-like flames around his body instantly rose and gave off explosions. The phantom image of a blood-colored sun with a spinning whirlpool in the middle started to appear behind him.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng turned into a flaming meteorite and burnt everything with his blazing flames.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng''s feet landed on the ground as he arrived at the cave first. The next instant, Xin Wuheng appeared on the side.

 989 Clash Between Little Worlds

    Chapter 989 - Clash Between Little Worlds


    A forceful and wicked aura could be felt from the pitch-black cave in the dark mountain.


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng stood on the two sides of the cave. The elite swordsmen behind them soon caught up.


    "Xin Wuheng, your Little World¡­" Zhao Feng wanted to find out about Xin Wuheng. Xin Wuheng was just an Emperor, and yet he was able to master the five elements to such a level and merge them all into his Little World.


    "Your foundation after re-cultivating is also not simple," Xin Wuheng replied respectfully and didn''t mention anything about his Little World.


    Zhao Feng didn''t force him. It was like the secret of his God''s Spiritual Eye; he obviously didn''t want to tell anyone either.


    Shua!


    The two leapt into the cave at almost the same time.


    "Who is it? Who dares to enter my territory!?" An enraged roar shook their ears and almost made them go deaf.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The figure of a large black dragon descended, and it radiated a limitlessly evil and fierce power.


    "Hmph, the dumb king sent you two ants here, right?" The giant Black Iron Dragon circled in the air above Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng and suppressed them with its physical force and wicked aura.


    At the same time, skeleton guards continuously crawled out from the walls. These skeleton guards were slightly stronger than the ones on the paths earlier. A faint golden ripple of light spread from Zhao Feng''s left eye, and he was able to see the so-called "princess" in the depths of the cave.


    "Destroy them!" the Black Iron Dragon roared, and countless skeleton guards started to attack.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng led their elites and charged forward as well.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng spread his Scarlet Wings of Lightning and charged toward the Black Iron Dragon.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng clashed against the Black Iron Dragon''s claws.


    "Strong physical strength and a wicked aura," Zhao Feng murmured gently. The strength of this Black Iron Dragon was slightly weaker than Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    At this moment, Xin Wuheng also leapt into the air and thrust out two ice-cold palms toward the Black Iron Dragon''s wings.


    "The king has sent you here to die!" the Black Iron Dragon roared in anger as it flapped its wings, and a powerful evil force pushed Xin Wuheng''s palms aside.


    At the same instant, the wicked aura within the cave started to gather toward the Black Iron Dragon.


    "Xin Wuheng, take out your true skills. If we can''t finish this thing off, how will we be able to save anyone?" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    The Black Iron Dragon wasn''t too difficult to defeat, but his true opponent was Xin Wuheng, and Zhao Feng couldn''t be careless.


    "Okay." Xin Wuheng nodded and made a strange pose in the air as an invisible Intent started to spread.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng also circulated his Blood Devil Sun bloodline, and the explosive power of fire and lightning almost destroyed all the wicked aura within the cave.


    Bam!


    They both charged at the Black Iron Dragon at the same time, and countless explosions sounded throughout the cave.


    All of Xin Wuheng''s actions contained limitless Intent, and they seemed to borrow the power of this dimension''s laws. His attacks were able to reach their full strength.


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Dominating Fist also contained a mystic and powerful Intent, but Zhao Feng hadn''t comprehended it enough.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng activated his left eye and copied Xin Wuheng''s Intent into the dimension of his left eye for later analysis.


    "Scorching Fire and Ice!" Xin Wuheng waved both his arms, and a unique whirlpool of ice and fire landed on the Black Iron Dragon''s head.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Fist!" Zhao Feng used his technique from the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body with the addition of his Blood Devil Sun bloodline. Several blazing trails of fire and lightning shot out.


    Boom!


    Under the combined strength of Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng, the Black Iron Dragon couldn''t fight back at all.


    Bam!


    The Black Iron Dragon''s body fell.


    "Princess?"


    After defeating the Black Iron Dragon, Xin Wuheng glanced toward where the princess originally was in the cave, but he found that she had disappeared.


    "She''s there!" Xin Wuheng''s voice sounded.


    At this moment, the princess was with a gray cat. Beneath the princess''s feet was a dark golden flying sword that carried her and sped toward the exit of the cave.


    "Zhao Feng!" Xin Wuheng''s expression changed to surprise. From the very start, Zhao Feng had sent his spiritual pet to save the princess. Furthermore, while they were fighting the dragon, Zhao Feng purposely created a huge disturbance with his True Yuan in order to hide the little thieving cat''s actions.


    Whoosh!


    The wings behind Zhao Feng released a brilliant glow of light, and his speed reached a limit as he turned into a bolt of lightning and flashed away.


    "You want to leave?" Xin Wuheng immediately chased after him, and a green flow of water appeared beneath his feet.


    Whoosh!


    Xin Wuheng flew above the water as if he was flowing along with the tide. However, this wasn''t a speed technique, it was just another usage of Xin Wuheng''s mastery of Water. In terms of speed, he was still slower than Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng soon caught up to the little thieving cat and princess after exiting the cave. Without saying anything else, he picked up the princess and flew at full speed. The dark golden flying sword also started to twist and turn until it became a necklace and wrapped itself around the little thieving cat''s neck.


    However, what Zhao Feng worried about still happened.


    "Who are you? What are you doing!? Let go of me!" the princess roared in anger and struggled in Zhao Feng''s arms.


    As expected, the characters still disliked him.


    "Rise!" Xin Wuheng, who was still chasing from behind, exclaimed.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A row of thick wooden vines suddenly appeared beneath Zhao Feng and started to wrap toward him.


    "Little thieving cat, I''ll give her to you."


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and pushed aside some of the wooden vines as he threw the princess. The little thieving cat''s figure instantly appeared below the princess, and the necklace turned into a dark golden flying sword once more and flew off with the princess.


    "Zhao Feng, let me see the power of your Little World," Xin Wuheng''s voice sounded from behind.


    Zhao Feng instantly felt a condensed Intent crush over. He knew that Xin Wuheng had unleashed his Little World.


    Boom!


    The power of a desolate thunderstorm slowly merged into the air behind Zhao Feng''s back. Everything within a hundred yards became a dark dimension. Even some of the ancient dimension''s laws were controlled by Zhao Feng.


    Weng~


    Xin Wuheng instantly slowed down, but he was unaffected. Zhao Feng could feel that Xin Wuheng''s five-elemental Little World was extremely resilient against the laws of his own Little World.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng''s Scarlet Wings of Lightning flashed with fire and lightning as his speed reached the maximum. Zhao Feng charged directly at Xin Wuheng and threw out a punch as limitless fire and lightning exploded into a burst of light. The power of Wind Lightning within his Little World was also added to Zhao Feng''s punch.


    Zhao Feng''s speed and explosiveness both increased while he was in his Little World.


    "Freeze." Xin Wuheng gently said one word. The profound Intent within his five-elemental Little World instantly started to fade and circulate in a unique manner.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng clashed. Xin Wuheng''s five-elemental Little World started to spin after a round of shaking. A five-colored light appeared on the surface of his Little World as it quickly redirected the power of Zhao Feng''s punch.


    Hu~ Shua! Shua!


    Xin Wuheng circulated his five-elemental Little World to the maximum, and the power of Zhao Feng''s punch was slowly weakened.


    Crack!


    A small crack appeared in Xin Wuheng''s five-elemental Little World. At the same time, a strong counterattack was unleashed from the side.


    Hu~


    Although Zhao Feng sensed it, he was still half a step late. One of his Scarlet Wings of Lightning was instantly destroyed.


    Zhao Feng faltered for a moment. He didn''t expect Xin Wuheng''s Little World to be able to block one of his full-power attacks.


    "Brother Zhao''s Little World is not simple as well."


    The Little World around Xin Wuheng disappeared. He had always been confident in his Little World, but Zhao Feng''s Little World wasn''t normal either. It could actually merge into this ancient dimension and control part of its laws. This was something that even Xin Wuheng couldn''t do. He had never been at a disadvantage in a clash of Little Worlds.


    "I''ve never been able to injure Brother Xin." Zhao Feng revealed a smile.


    "Victor, Zhao Feng."


    At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in their minds.


    "But I lost this time." Xin Wuheng smiled as well, and his figure started to fade from this dimension.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng returned to the official and collected his reward.


    The clash between Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng obviously caught the attention of the princes and many forces of the outside world. Honestly, the two were on par with one another, but Zhao Feng won because he had the help of his spiritual pet.


    Zhao Feng''s and Xin Wuheng''s names spread among the forces of the lord dynasty once again.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng returned to the maze palace.


    "From the looks of it, I need to end battles quicker now."


    Zhao Feng''s expression returned to normal. He had wasted a lot of time sparring with Xin Wuheng, but luckily, he still won in the end.


    Weng~


    A mysterious and profound ripple of golden light spread through Zhao Feng''s left eye. With just one scan of his eye, he locked onto a member of the Thirteenth Prince''s team.


    This member seemed to receive a warning from the Thirteenth Prince and started running away from Zhao Feng, but could he truly run away? Zhao Feng''s Scarlet Wings of Lightning fluttered quickly as he sped through the maze palace.


    As the maze palace continued to move, many princes started to become tired and make mistakes. Two people had already lost ten matches and left the moving maze palace.


    Zhao Feng was still the person with the most victories. He had sixteen wins and zero losses. Second place was Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning, who had ten wins.


    The Thirteenth Prince had given up on targeting Zhao Feng. The victors of the third stage were decided by the total number of wins.


    The number of wins that the Ninth Prince''s team had was just below that of the Fourth and Thirteenth Princes.


    One had to remember that the Ninth Prince only had four of his team members participating in the game, and Su Qingling only had one win. This result made others incredulous.


    While they were sighing in surprise, Zhao Feng obtained his seventeenth continuous victory."


    "Sacred Lord Black Demon, go left, then turn right¡­." The Thirteenth Prince had almost completely given up on all his members in the maze palace apart from the two Sacred Lords.


    Since he had a lot of draconic providence, the Thirteenth Prince wasn''t scared of not having enough for the final stage. Right now, he just needed to make sure the Ninth Prince didn''t end up with more wins than him, otherwise he wouldn''t even make it to the next stage.


    The Eighth Prince already knew that he wouldn''t be able to win this stage, but he still directed his team members through the maze palace and gave the occasional glance toward Zhao Feng.


    The Ninth Prince was the most excited out of the four princes. His pseudo Crown Prince Seal had recovered to a bright light, and Old Ying''s win rate was very good under his directions.


    "I choose to leave," a beast tamer from the Fourth Prince''s team said. He just lost his tenth battle, but he had also won five. This result wasn''t very bad.


    "There are two hours left till the end of the third stage," the transparent elder''s voice sounded in the sky.

 990 The Last Momen

    Chapter 990 - The Last Moment


    "There are two hours left till the end of the third stage," the transparent elder''s voice sounded in the sky.


    The hearts of everyone inside the maze palace tightened. The Crown Prince trial had almost reached the finale.


    "Don''t panic!" the Fourth Prince immediately messaged everyone. He needed to gather as much draconic providence in order to make sure he would definitely win in the last stage.


    On the other hand, the Thirteenth Prince had an angry expression as he stared at Zhao Feng within the maze palace. "Even if I can''t become the Crown Prince, I won''t let the Ninth Prince win."


    The Thirteenth Prince originally had a huge chance of becoming the Crown Prince, but the black-robed person was defeated by Zhao Feng, causing him to lose one of his strongest subordinates. In addition, Zhao Feng purposely went after his team members in this stage, taking a huge amount of his draconic providence and increasing the gap between him and the Fourth Prince.


    The Eighth Prince had given up as well. Only one Sacred Lord in his team had entered the moving maze palace. One of his members was the team doctor. Adding on the fact that he didn''t have much draconic providence beforehand, he already knew what would happen. Not only did he have zero hope in winning the fourth stage, he wouldn''t even be able to emerge victorious from this stage.


    At this moment, these three princes basically knew that Zhao Feng was the cheater, but they didn''t really know how he was cheating. Therefore, the three princes tried to steer their team members away from Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, we only have a difference of seven wins with the Thirteenth Prince," the Ninth Prince messaged Zhao Feng.


    The Ninth Prince didn''t care whether or not he could become the Crown Prince. He just wanted to try his best, make it as far as he could, and acquire the approval of the Sacred Emperor and the imperial elders.


    "In order to increase the rate of the games, the maze palace will now become smaller," the transparent elder''s voice sounded.


    The Ninth Prince paused for a moment. If the map became smaller, then it would be more difficult for Su Qingling to avoid people. On the other hand, Zhao Feng could win more.


    "This means I still have hope." The Thirteenth Prince''s expression changed. The map becoming smaller was good news for him.


    The average strength of his members exceeded the Eighth Prince''s and Ninth Prince''s. It was only because he wasn''t good at commanding that his results weren''t very good. If the map became smaller, then it was more likely for his members to meet those that were weaker.


    As long as he could maintain his win rate and steal some draconic providence from the Fourth Prince, there was hope for him to become the Crown Prince.


    "Sacred Lord Black Demon, don''t bother with Zhao Feng anymore, just focus on winning. Li Hai, when you lose ten matches, choose to exit straight away¡­" the Thirteenth Prince told his team members the plan.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The maze palace started to shrink in the eyes of the four princes. The moving black walls also started to block off certain parts of the palace.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng could already see a few figures nearby. Although they were avoiding Zhao Feng, the area in the maze palace was just too small now.


    "Since the maze palace has become smaller, it would be best for Su Qingling to just lose ten matches and quickly leave," Zhao Feng messaged the Ninth Prince.


    There were still some weak people around, so Su Qingling still had the possibility of winning a few matches. However, it was splitting the Ninth Prince''s concentration for marginal benefits.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng locked onto a member of the Thirteenth Prince''s team and quickly flew toward him.


    The continuous battles made Zhao Feng feel somewhat tired. Not only did he need to use part of his energy to monitor his flying spiritual pets outside, he also needed to direct and help Jing Kai. He was lucky that his soul was so strong.


    "There are too many possibilities now," Senior Martial Brother Zhuge said. After the maze palace became smaller, it wasn''t just the princes that were feeling more troubled. There was fighting every second, and the continuous battling tired everyone.


    "Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning lost a fight!" someone exclaimed.


    Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning was the strongest and most experienced Sacred Lord from the Fourth Prince''s team. After winning twelve fights in a row, he had finally lost.


    "Zhao Feng still hasn''t lost any yet." A Quasi-Sacred Lord looked at Zhao Feng in shock.


    Zhao Feng had eighteen wins already, but zero losses. Everyone knew that it was only because of Zhao Feng that the Ninth Prince had the ability to compete against the other princes in this stage.


    "Furthermore, the Ninth Prince is directing his team members very well," Zhuge Yun added.


    The Fourth Prince was the strongest of the four princes, but in terms of commanding, the Ninth Prince was far better.


    After some time had passed:


    "I choose to exit." Su Qingling disappeared from the maze palace and returned to the stone stage that the Ninth Prince was on.


    "It''s okay. At last you won three time," Shi Yulei smiled and said. After all, Su Qingling was just a junior of the younger generation. There was a big difference between her and the other experts within the maze palace.


    "Zhao Feng''s already won twenty-three in a row. We will win!" Zhou Su''er suddenly smiled and said.


    "What? Twenty-three wins in a row?"


    Although the Ninth Prince had told Su Qingling that Zhao Feng''s results were very good and they still had hope, she was still stunned after knowing Zhao Feng''s score. Twenty-three wins in a row ¨C what kind of person was this youth?


    "Zhao Feng won again! Twenty-four wins in a row."


    "I choose to exit." A member from the Thirteenth Prince''s team lost his tenth fight and had to leave the game.


    The hearts of everyone in the Great Gan Imperial Palace tightened. The third stage of the Crown Prince trial was coming to an end, and the size of the moving maze palace was continuously shrinking.


    The situation was changing every instant. Everyone was looking forward to the Ninth Prince''s performance, who was a huge dark horse.


    At a certain moment, the Ninth Prince was only three wins away from surpassing the Thirteenth Prince. One had to know that the Thirteenth Prince still had five members moving around the maze palace, while the Ninth Prince only had Zhao Feng, Old Ying, and Jing Kai, who were respectively an Emperor and two Quasi-Sacred Lords.


    "The Fourth Prince is still in the lead. I think that he will become the Crown Prince."


    "No one knows for sure. The Thirteenth Prince''s team is extremely strong, and as long as his number of wins surpasses the Ninth Prince''s, it is very likely for him to defeat the Fourth Prince in the next stage."


    "Hehe, I actually think that the Ninth Prince''s team will continue to create miracles. No one knows who will become the Crown Prince."


    The forces all revealed their opinions.


    "Chen''er." The Thirteenth Prince''s uncle and the forces that supported the Thirteenth Prince were worried for him.


    Even if the Thirteenth Prince managed to have more victories than the Ninth Prince, it would actually be extremely difficult for him to fight against the Fourth Prince. They knew that the Thirteenth Prince was too young and wasn''t as experienced in every aspect like the others.


    "This Zhao Feng¡­!" A deep voice sounded from Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss of Nine Darkness Palace. If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng was constantly targeting the Thirteenth Prince, they would have had a lot of hope.


    In front of the great hall of the Imperial Palace, the Sacred Emperor''s expression changed. It was obvious that the current situation had exceeded his imagination. On the other hand, the Sacred Empress''s eyes were filled with hatred as she glared at Zhao Feng.


    Discussion suddenly broke out within the halls and in the clouds.


    "Zhao Feng finally lost one battle."


    "I didn''t expect him to lose to an Elder of the Jade Ocean Clan."


    "There''s nothing he can do about it. The scenery just now tested experience. Zhao Feng is too young."


    The various experts discussed with each another.


    Within the Ninth Prince''s hall:


    "Their attention to Zhao Feng easily surpasses their attention to even the princes." Duke Nanfeng gave a faint smile. Zhao Feng losing one fight had raised the attention of many forces within the entire lord dynasty.


    "I didn''t expect the Ninth Prince to be able to reach this step." The representative from a two-star power was full of excitement. When they had chosen to support the Ninth Prince, they didn''t expect to the Ninth Prince to be able to display such a performance.


    As long as the Ninth Prince''s total number of wins exceeded the Thirteenth Prince''s, he would be able to enter the fourth stage. Even if he lost at that point, the Ninth Prince''s status would rise a lot among the Great Gan Imperials.


    "Great! Only two wins left till the Ninth Prince surpasses the Thirteenth Prince!" the elder of another force exclaimed.


    After the moving maze palace became smaller, Zhao Feng''s win rate increased by leaps and bounds.


    "Jing Kai won another one as well!"


    The Ninth Prince''s total wins increased once more.


    "Old Ying managed to just defeat his opponent!"


    Shock appeared throughout the entire lord dynasty, and voices sounded across a thousand miles. The Ninth Prince''s wins and the Thirteenth Prince''s wins were equal.


    Within the maze palace:


    "How is this possible!? Brother Ninth Prince''s team members are all extremely weak. How are they still winning?" the Thirteenth Prince roared toward the sky. He had broken down by now, and his directions were an utter mess. The members that he communicated with felt this firsthand.


    "Good job, Old Ying! Now turn left, move forward, then turn left again."


    The Ninth Prince and Old Ying were both extremely excited. Because Su Qingling had left, the Ninth Prince only needed to direct Old Ying alone. This meant that Old Ying was basically using the Ninth Prince''s entire effort and could see everyone in the maze palace. This was much easier and better than Zhao Feng''s transparent eyes.


    "Zhao Feng, fight with me!" Yu Tianhao''s voice suddenly sounded from within the maze palace. Yu Tianhao obviously knew that Zhao Feng was the cheater. If Zhao Feng didn''t want to fight with him, it basically impossible for Yu Tianhao to even see Zhao Feng''s shadow.


    Zhao Feng had just exited from the scenery and heard what Yu Tianhao said.


    "Then come!" Zhao Feng said mostly to himself.


    Now that the Ninth Prince''s total number of wins had exceeded the Thirteenth Prince''s, then they would win as long as there were no surprises. In that case, Zhao Feng would indulge Yu Tianhao.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes looked toward the source of the sound and soon found Yu Tianhao''s figure.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng avoided several people on the way and charged toward Yu Tianhao.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve finally come!"


    A surge of battle-intent shot out from Yu Tianhao''s eyes.


    Weng~


    The scenery around them started to change, and they appeared on a desolate stretch of sand.

 991 Terrifying Bloodline

    Chapter 991 - Terrifying Bloodline


    Several dozen figures in black stood behind Zhao Feng''s back, and the wicked aura they gave off seemed to materialize.


    "Demon Lord, the enemy in front of us is our greatest yet."


    "Once we kill him, we will be able to rule the continent. The entire continent will bow down at our feet."


    Zhao Feng knew that he was the biggest villain in this scenery and that the character he was playing had the intention to conquer the continent. Yu Tianhao opposite him was obviously the hero that was going to save the continent.


    "Lord Battle King, please kill the demon!"


    "Only then will the world be saved."


    Battle-intent shot out from Yu Tianhao''s black eyes. Such a scene was exactly what he wanted. Furthermore, the environment here was very similar to the place where he last fought Zhao Feng in the Azure Flower Continent.


    Yu Tianhao even had the feeling that he and Zhao Feng had returned to the past and were about to start their last battle once more. However, the difference between him and Zhao Feng wasn''t that big anymore ¨C both of them were Emperors.


    "Zhao Feng, let me witness your perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline."


    Yu Tianhao''s bloodline started to boil with the help of his battle-intent.


    Wu~


    An ancient and mysterious cold figure synced with Yu Tianhao''s body. Yu Tianhao''s actions instantly became one with the ice-cold figure behind him. At this instant, Yu Tianhao seemed to become the God of War as everything nearby was covered by an orange light that shot into the sky.


    "Unparalleled Under the Heavens!"


    A supreme Intent radiated from Yu Tianhao as he attacked. A brilliant palm made of light shot out from Yu Tianhao''s hand.


    Boom! Bam! Bam!


    This palm crushed everything in its path and landed on Zhao Feng''s body.


    Boom!


    A dark yellow sandstorm spread across the area.


    Bam!


    A flash of red light was unleashed, and it reached the heavens as it surged with power.


    Hu~ Hu~


    The entire sandstorm was ripped apart by a stunning blow of lightning and fire.


    Zhao Feng was like a demonic sovereign of lightning as he stood in the middle of the sandstorm. The terrifying power of fire and lightning radiating from him destroyed everything nearby.


    The blazing physical force clashed with the materialized battle-intent.


    Bam! Shu~~ Shu~~


    Orange and scarlet light flashed and explosions sounded.


    "As expected of the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline ¨C an extreme Imperial Dao Bloodline on the same level as the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline."


    Yu Tianhao started to circulate his own bloodline to the maximum. When his will to battle covered his body, Yu Tianhao felt as if he had turned into the ancient and mysterious figure. His power had reached a peak and was about to be completely released. The mysterious figure behind him instantly became bigger and more condensed.


    "His battle-power is increasing so quickly!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly. He knew a little bit about Yu Tianhao''s bloodline. It was a terrifying bloodline that became stronger the longer one fought, and it could last for quite a long time.


    In merely the first exchange, Yu Tianhao''s battle-intent had already reached a shocking level. His battle-power was already comparable to Sacred Lords.


    "Come!" Explosions sounded from Zhao Feng''s body, which was covered in glass-like flames.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng left behind a fiery afterimage as he instantly approached Yu Tianhao and threw out a punch. The power of limitless fire and lightning crushed over along with the pressure of his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Bam!


    Yu Tianhao thrust out his palm and unleashed a shining golden sun. Its power was on par with the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, which specialized in explosiveness.


    Boom! Hu~


    A surge of glass-like flames instantly fell onto Yu Tianhao''s ancient and mysterious figure and started to burn.


    "Ignition, erosion, and lifesteal?" Yu Tianhao''s expression changed. This was the first time he had seen the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, and it was indeed terrifying.


    "Unparalleled secret technique ¨C Chaotic Dancing Spring and Autumn!" Yu Tianhao''s black hair blew wildly as a brilliant glow of light covered his body and crystalized like a piece of armor. A layer of armor also appeared on the human figure behind him.


    Peng! Boom! Bam!


    Yu Tianhao''s offense could move mountains and oceans. Every punch and kick contained unrivalled battle-intent that could crush anything and everything.


    Zhao Feng also became fiercer the longer he fought. The flames on his body turned transparent, and an occasional arc of lightning would also flicker.


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had reached the level of a Sacred Lord, and with the powerful defense of his Sacred Lightning Body, he wasn''t scared of Yu Tianhao''s offense. Furthermore, his lifesteal ability was effective in this battle.


    Boom! Bam!


    Zhao Feng punched out, and limitless power of fire and lightning erupted like a volcano. His each and every attack contained extremely explosive power.


    After the fight against Tie Lingyun, Zhao Feng had better control over the Blood Devil Sun bloodline. Zhao Feng was able to decrease the energy expenditure from the Blood Devil Sun bloodline to the minimum and still instantly release explosive power when he attacked.


    However, he had to admit that, at this moment in time, Yu Tianhao''s offense and defense had both reached a shocking level. Zhao Feng''s explosiveness wasn''t able to cause much damage to him.


    Boom! Peng!


    The battle between these two was shocking, and beams of red and orange light continuously shot out from the storm.


    "Zhao Feng, use your true skill." Yu Tianhao was like the God of War as he and the cold figure both released a ray of light that seemed to engulf the force of Heaven and Earth. The battle-intent radiating from him rose once more and actually surpassed normal Sacred Lords.


    "I might as well. After all, there isn''t much time left." Zhao Feng retreated a couple dozen yards, leaving a trail of flames behind.


    "Blood Devil Charge!" The glass-like flames around Zhao Feng started to burn frenziedly, and eruptions started to sound. The image of a blood-red sun with a spinning whirlpool in the middle of it appeared behind Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s figure flashed and left behind a streak of light as he arrived before Yu Tianhao.


    Bam!


    The instant Zhao Feng punched out, all the fire around him seemed to merge into the attack like a volcano about to erupt with lava. The scorching fire and lightning completely engulfed the ice-cold figure behind Yu Tianhao''s back.


    Boom!


    The ignition and erosion effects of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline immediately took effect and burned the figure behind Yu Tianhao, making it seem like a mountain of fire.


    "Unparalleled God of War!" Yu Tianhao gently said as fire covered him.


    Weng~~


    The ice-cold figure behind him released a bright orange light from every inch of his body. Yu Tianhao himself became an orange sun. Every faint movement from him was closely connected to the ice-cold figure.


    Weng!


    A pair of scarlet-orange eyes suddenly appeared in the ice-cold figure and released a surge of battle-intent that could shock the heavens. At this instant, Yu Tianhao became the ice-cold figure itself and released a wave of battle-intent that could crush the minds of Sacred Lords.


    Hu~


    The fire around the surface of the figure was instantly pushed aside by this supreme power.


    "Power God''s Axe!"


    Yu Tianhao''s eyes were like black stars as explosions sounded. An axe that gave off a faint glow of orange could be seen slashing through the air.


    "What terrifying battle-power!" At this instant, Zhao Feng felt like he was facing a mountain as he had to withstand the pressure of the limitless battle-intent. Even Zhao Feng didn''t dare to defend against this peerless attack head-on.


    "Zhao Feng, the situation isn''t looking good. The Thirteenth Prince has overtaken us in the number of wins," the Ninth Prince''s voice sounded at this moment. Although he knew Zhao Feng''s current situation, he had to tell Zhao Feng the news.


    "If that''s the case¡­" Zhao Feng''s expression suddenly became calm. Although he fought against Xin Wuheng and Yu Tianhao to satisfy himself, he still knew what was most important.


    Boom!


    The power of desolate lightning started to pour into the air behind Zhao Feng. Everything within a hundred yards instantly became dark and chaotic. Some of the laws of this dimension were even controlled by Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, a surge of flashing golden light appeared around Zhao Feng''s flaming body. A barrier of blood-colored lightning appeared around his body as well.


    Zhao Feng didn''t want for Yu Tianhao''s peerless attack to arrive. If he did, the attack would become even stronger.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng leapt into the air and pushed out his palms, condensing all the ancient lightning and the physical force of his Sacred Lightning Body into the defensive lightning barrier. At the same time, the power of Wind Lightning within his Little World started to gather toward Zhao Feng.


    At this instant Zhao Feng seemed to become the God of Lightning as fierce and deadly scarlet lightning surrounded him.


    Bam! Boom! Boom!


    The scarlet lightning clashed against the stunning orange light. The entire dimension that they were fighting in started to shake, creating huge gale winds and sandstorms as if some kind of doomsday had arrived.


    Whoosh!


    In the next instant, a bolt of scarlet lightning shot out and arrived before Yu Tianhao.


    "God Eye Disintegration!" Zhao Feng used the new power of his left eye. Only this move was able to counter Yu Tianhao, whose battle-power could increase infinitely.


    Boom! Hu~~~~


    When the sandstorms calmed down, Yu Tianhao was lying on the ground drenched in blood and sweat.


    "Victor, Zhao Feng."


    They instantly returned to the maze palace. Zhao Feng immediately took some special resources and pills while using his left eye to search for more opponents.


    "Zhao Feng, after you just beat Yu Tianhao, our total number of wins is the exact same as the Thirteenth Prince''s," the Ninth Prince''s voice sounded.


    "Understood," Zhao Feng replied.


    Since he had been focusing too much on the battle against Yu Tianhao, he couldn''t help Jing Kai, which resulted in their win rate slowing down and being overtaken. After all, the Thirteenth Prince''s team still had five people walking around in the maze palace.


    There was only a little bit of time left. Zhao Feng wouldn''t let the Thirteenth Prince''s total number of wins surpass the Ninth Prince''s.

 992 The Deciding Match

    Chapter 992 - The Deciding Match


    Although the moving maze palace was coming to an end, the battle between Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao still attracted the eyes of many people. It was a clash between the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline and the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline.


    However, even after Yu Tianhao unleashed his peerless battle-power, he somehow lost. The experts in the Imperial Tombs could only see the images within the transparent ball. They couldn''t feel any aura from it, and the battle at the end was covered by a sandstorm.


    "What happened? How did the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline defeat the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline?" A Quasi-Sacred Lord''s heart shook.


    The Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline was ranked slightly higher than the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline among Imperial Dao Bloodlines. From the display just now, Yu Tianhao had more power as well.


    Everything was a mystery because the sandstorm had hidden everything. The images on the screen in the Great Gan Imperial Palace were even blurrier. No one could see what happened clearly.


    "How did Tianhao lose?" Yu Lenghua was very surprised. The main characteristic of the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline was that one would only become fiercer and stronger as the battle continued. Only a few forbidden methods could affect it.


    Yu Tianhao soon won ten matches. Winning ten or losing ten was the requirement to leave the maze palace. Yu Tianhao decided to leave.


    He was injured, and the side-effect of the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline made him unable to continue fighting. Furthermore, the battle between Zhao Feng and him had already ended, so he had achieved his goal.


    "Tianhao, what happened?" Yu Lenghua immediately asked.


    "Eye-bloodline technique." Yu Tianhao gave a simple reply. He also knew that Zhao Feng''s true forte was eye-bloodline techniques, but he didn''t expect Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques to reach a point where they could counter the characteristics of his Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline.


    "What is the total number of wins like?" Yu Tianhao asked.


    "The Fourth Prince has sixty-one total wins, the Thirteenth Prince and the Ninth Prince both have fifty-two in total." Yu Lenghua told him the current standings. There was only a little bit of time left till the moving maze palace came to an end.


    There were less than fifteen people in the moving maze palace now. The Fourth Prince was already guaranteed to win this stage, so he only left behind three of his strongest members in the maze palace in order to plunder some extra draconic providence.


    Jing Kai had exited. Helping Jing Kai used up Zhao Feng''s focus, and he wasn''t very strong in every aspect.


    The Thirteenth Prince was the same. He only left four people behind while all the weaker ones had left.


    The Ninth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince looked at each other from afar as they both released an invisible momentum. Their scores were constantly either the same or close to one another. It was hard to tell who would win between them.


    From the Ninth Prince''s, only Zhao Feng and Old Ying team remained in the maze palace, while the Thirteenth Prince had four people. This meant that the Ninth Prince might not win for sure even with Zhao Feng''s help.


    "Look, the Thirteenth Prince''s total number of wins has increased again."


    "Hmph, Zhao Feng''s match is about to end soon as well."


    "Who will win?"


    At this moment, everyone''s hearts were clenched as they looked at the scores of the Ninth and Thirteenth Princes. Although most of the people thought that the ultimate winner would be the Fourth Prince, the prince that could reach the last stage and fight against the Fourth Prince would obviously be the most famous prince after the Crown Prince.


    The Crown Prince trial didn''t just determine the Crown Prince, it also determined the status of the other princes in the lord dynasty in the future.


    "They both have fifty-two wins!"


    They were both tied again.


    "There''s not enough time." Zhao Feng''s eyes scanned around. Sacred Lord Black Demon was the closest to him.


    It''s going to be you! Zhao Feng charged toward Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    "The third stage has come to an end. Anyone that hasn''t entered a match will now leave." The voice of the transparent elder in the sky sounded, and the screeching of countless metallic sounds could be hard from the maze palace below as it started to become smaller.


    All the members exited from the maze palace as well. However, two spheres suddenly appeared above the maze palace. These were matches that just started as the third stage came to an end.


    Within one of the spheres was Ji Dengtian and a Quasi-Sacred Lord from the Fourth Prince''s team. Inside the other sphere was Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    "The Ninth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince have the same number of wins even at the end."


    "But there''s still one more match between Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Black Demon."


    "This will be the deciding match between those two princes."


    The Thirteenth Prince''s hands trembled slightly. "Sacred Lord Black Demon, it''s up to you."


    Although Sacred Lord Black Demon had lost the first match to Zhao Feng, the Thirteenth Prince knew that it was because he was still unfamiliar with the rules of the moving maze palace. After that, Sacred Lord Black Demon had the highest number of wins on the Thirteenth Prince''s team.


    The Thirteenth Prince trusted Sacred Lord Black Demon, but he was worried about the opponent ¨C Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had the greatest number of wins amongst everyone. He had only lost one match so far.


    "Zhao Feng, beat him!" The Ninth Prince had a powerful gaze. He trusted Zhao Feng, but nothing was absolute. Zhao Feng was more tired than anyone else. Zhao Feng had the most wins because he had entered the most matches, and for a huge part of the third stage, he was busy using a secret technique to help direct Jing Kai to weaken the pressure on the Ninth Prince.


    Jiang!


    The big maze palace finally condensed into a small metallic cube that floated into the transparent elder''s hand and disappeared.


    "First place is the Fourth Prince with sixty-two total victories. Second place has yet to be decided¡­." the transparent elder said.


    In an instant, everyone''s eyes trained onto the sphere that Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Black Demon were in.


    The place was a plain with weird trees a thousand yards tall. Sacred Lord Black Demon and Zhao Feng appeared here at the same instant.


    They didn''t show any hatred or battle-intent. Instead, they were calm and inspected their surroundings closely. They both knew that this was the last match, which would decide which prince moved on. They couldn''t be careless.


    "Uncle, uncle, my kite is stuck in a tree. Can you help me get it?" A little kid next to Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Black Demon jumped around happily.


    "Why is it this same scenery again?" Sacred Lord Black Demon''s expression froze.


    This was the same scene as the first match between him and Zhao Feng, and the little kid was saying the same thing.


    However, while this final deciding match seemed to recreate the first scene, the contents had changed. There were countless weird trees a thousand yards high, but there were four or five kites on the top of almost every tree.


    "Little Friend, what does your kite look like?" Sacred Lord Black Demon pretended to be friendly. There were thousands upon thousands of kites in this scenery. Therefore, he had to ask this question first so he could know which one to take.


    "It has eyes and lines on it and is very cute¡­" the little kid described to Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    "This¡­" Sacred Lord Black Demon had black lines all over his face. He really wanted to kill this little brat, but he couldn''t be rash. This was the deciding match, so he needed to win it no matter what. It wasn''t just for the Thirteenth Prince either; he wanted to defeat Zhao Feng.


    However, while Sacred Lord Black Demon managed to eliminate a small number of kites with that description, he still didn''t know what to do.


    Whoosh!


    The wings behind Zhao Feng''s back released a surge of lightning as he sped into the distance.


    "How is that possible? How can Zhao Feng already know what this little kid''s kite looks like?" Sacred Lord Black Demon instantly started to panic.


    "It''s that red kite!" Sacred Lord Black Demon suddenly understood. There was only one kite in the first match. Sacred Lord Black Demon could still remember the details of this kite, and it was very likely that the same kid had the same kite.


    "Black Demon Escape!" Sacred Lord Black Demon instantly used a secret technique, and countless flows of black light appeared from his legs as he chased after Zhao Feng.


    Although Zhao Feng had the advantage, it wasn''t as if Sacred Lord Black Demon had no chance at all. This time, they were both prepared for the gravity and were much faster than before.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng reached the peak of a tree and grabbed a kite with one hand.


    "Zhao Feng, hand over the kite!"


    Sacred Lord Black Demon had already released the projection of his Little World and used a secret technique to charge at Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng did a flip in the air and charged downward. This time, he also used the power of his Little World of Wind Lightning.


    Shu~~ Shu~~ Shu~~


    Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Black Demon clashed with their Little Worlds.


    Since Sacred Lord Black Demon wasn''t slow to react this time, the amount of space Zhao Feng had to gain speed was very short, so his explosive power wasn''t strong enough.


    Bam!


    The two figures both retreated several dozen yards.


    Sacred Lord Black Demon had a treasure that allowed him to adapt to this dimension, so the projection of his Little World could also merge into the air. Zhao Feng had no advantage at all in the clash between Little Worlds.


    However, this was already enough to stun countless experts of the outside world. The Little World of an Emperor managed to clash with the Little World of a Sacred Lord?


    "His Little World¡­?" Sacred Lord Black Demon''s expression became ugly. Although he had seen Zhao Feng''s Little World before, he didn''t expect Zhao Feng''s Little World to be this strong.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng charged down once more, and the two Little Worlds clashed again.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng circulated his left eye, and a transparent gold-and-purple lightning-fire landed on Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    Whoosh!


    While Sacred Lord Black Demon was being attacked by that, Zhao Feng flew directly past him toward the little kid.


    "Don''t run!" Sacred Lord Black Demon struggled for a while and got rid of Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique. His soul was stronger than normal Sacred Lords, and he also had a soul-defending treasure. Even though Zhao Feng''s technique contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning, it could only damage Sacred Lord Black Demon a little bit.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and let out his beast horde and Sky Shaking Golden Apes.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng arrived directly in front of the little kid.


    "This kite¡­" The little kid seemed to hesitate as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes became grim. Shit.


    The material of this kite was unique; it was made from profound laws. It was unable to be stored within an interspatial storage, so in the fight just now, the shape of the kite had changed a little bit. Adding on the disgusted gaze of the little kid, which was due to the hatred from the characters¡­ even if the kite was the little kid''s, something had changed.

 993 Fight for the Grand Seal

    Chapter 993 - Fight for the Grand Seal


    The little kid looked at the kite in Zhao Feng''s hand, then at Zhao Feng, but he didn''t accept it.


    "Hahahaha! Zhao Feng, this is what happens if you cheat!" Sacred Lord Black Demon laughed smugly.


    Everyone in the Imperial Tombs basically knew that Zhao Feng was the cheater at this point. One of the punishments Zhao Feng had received was that the characters in each match would dislike him. On the contrary, Zhao Feng''s opponents would be liked by these characters. The experts that fought with Zhao Feng previously had concluded this already.


    "Only I can complete this mission!" Sacred Lord Black Demon turned into a beam of black light and flew toward Zhao Feng.


    Although Zhao Feng had unleashed countless beasts, including the Sky Shaking Golden Apes, they were restricted by the laws of this dimension. They couldn''t directly harm Sacred Lord Black Demon unless they were in a match where spiritual pets were allowed.


    Because of this, beast tamers were usually the second most useless in this stage behind doctors.


    This was simply how the Crown Prince trial was set up. Beast tamers and doctors played a big part in the second stage, so they were heavily restricted in this stage.


    Within the Imperial Tombs, the princes and Quasi-Sacred Lords were all stunned. Something like this could happen? Even if one completed the task in the scenery, they wouldn''t win?


    "How? Zhao Feng¡­!" The Ninth Prince''s body trembled. He didn''t expect such a change to happen in the last deciding match.


    "This is too unfair. Zhao Feng obviously completed the task," Old Ying said out loud. His aim was to make the transparent elder in the sky hear him.


    "This scenery is indeed unreasonable. We will improve it in the future."


    As the judge, the transparent elder felt that a situation like this did indeed affect the fairness.


    The members of the Ninth Prince''s team were instantly disappointed. It was obvious that the transparent elder would let the match continue.


    "Good! Sacred Lord Black Demon, quickly get the kite!" The Thirteenth Prince, who had constantly been suppressed in this stage, felt extremely smug. Finally¡­ Zhao Feng would finally lose to his team.


    "Only I can win this match." Sacred Lord Black Demon laughed out loud and flew toward Zhao Feng without feeling the need to rush.


    Zhao Feng looked at the Sacred Lord Black Demon out of the corner of his eye.


    "Only you¡­? Maybe this can work¡­." Zhao Feng suddenly thought of an idea, and his Emperor Intent suddenly moved. The next instant, a misty illusion spread across Heaven and Earth.


    Although the little kid was a machine, it could still think; this meant that there was a Soul Intent within it. Therefore, even though it might not be very effective, the little kid could still be affected by the Dao of the Soul.


    A layer of purple mist covered Zhao Feng, and his appearance slowly turned into Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    "What!? Zhao Feng, you want to pretend to be me!?" Sacred Lord Black Demon paused for a moment, then instantly sped up and charged into Zhao Feng''s Illusion Maze Domain. He knew what Zhao Feng was trying to do. Although everything in front of him was slightly blurry due to Zhao Feng''s Illusion Maze Domain, it didn''t really affect Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    "Come, Uncle accidentally damaged your kite. I''ll give you a piece of candy as an apology." Zhao Feng turned into the Sacred Lord Black Demon and revealed a smile as he handed over two items.


    In the previous setting with this little kid, substandard God Crystals were candy. If Zhao Feng took out a substandard God Crystal, it would definitely allow Zhao Feng to win some affinity with the little kid.


    The little kid paused for a moment after seeing Zhao Feng.


    "¡­thank you, Uncle."


    When he saw the "candy" though, he immediately took it and the kite.


    "How!?" Sacred Lord Black Demon was full of regret, but there was nothing he could do anymore. The little kid had already taken the kite and the "candy."


    "Victor, Zhao Feng." A mechanical voice resounded across the dimension.


    Weng~~


    10% more draconic providence entered Zhao Feng''s Dragon Jade before he appeared on the Ninth Prince''s stone stage.


    "¡­he won?" The Ninth Prince hadn''t reacted yet. Everything had progressed too quickly.


    "Brother Zhao!" the Ninth Prince immediately called out. Zhao Feng had surprised him yet again.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re so smart!" Zhou Su''er cheered and wanted to rush up and hug Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, good job!" Even Old Ying was sweating when he saw Zhao Feng''s predicament.


    Everyone originally thought that they had already lost this match, but Zhao Feng surprised them and tricked the little kid.


    On the other side:


    "You idiot!" The Thirteenth Prince was trembling with anger, but he could only curse.


    The other members all felt extremely frustrated as well, but they didn''t dare to swear at Sacred Lord Black Demon.


    "I became careless. I didn''t think that the tide could turn like that." Sacred Lord Black Demon felt very bad as well. He had become careless because he thought he was guaranteed to win.


    Outside the Imperial Tombs, continuous cheers and laughter sounded. No one was able to react to what happened before it was already over. It was difficult for normal people to even think of something like that.


    On top of that, Sacred Lord Black Demon became the laughing stock of many people. He could have won, but because of his carelessness, he had given the victory to the opponent. Sacred Lord Black Demon''s fame had been destroyed by the hands of a youth and a little kid.


    However, the noise around the clouds soon quieted down.


    "The maze palace has come to an end. The victors are the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince."


    The transparent elder gave a deep glance toward the stone stage of the Fourth Prince. No one knew who he was looking at.


    The next instant, a white array light flashed around the Eighth and Thirteenth Princes'' stone stages.


    Whoosh!


    The two princes and their teams were all sent out of the Imperial Tombs. The two stone stages also started to descend back into the Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "We will now enter the final stage ¨C the Fight for the Grand Seal," the transparent elder''s voice sounded, and an invisible pressure started to spread.


    At the same time, the stone stages of the two remaining princes turned until they faced one another. The gray-white stone tablet then started to sink into the stage.


    Boom!


    The two stages finally connected, and a path formed between them.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The sound of metal clashing came from the center of the path. Countless small metal boards extended out until it formed a circular shaped area where the final battle would be held.


    "Old Ying," the Ninth Prince called out after giving a glance toward the Fourth Prince.


    "Your Highness, we have no hope of winning." Old Ying sighed and lowered his head.


    When the transparent elder announced that they were about to enter the last stage, the excitement of the Ninth Prince''s entire team turned to silence. Although the Ninth Prince managed to defeat the Thirteenth Prince and move on, he had nowhere near as much draconic providence as the Fourth Prince. He didn''t even have as much as the Thirteenth Prince.


    "We''ve already tried our best." It was hard for Shi Yulei to hide his unwillingness. The Ninth Prince''s team had been very good in the third stage; not only did they have the second highest number of wins, they had the lowest number of losses.


    However, even if the Ninth Prince''s team had a good performance, they hadn''t been able to close the gap.


    "The fight for the Grand Seal will now begin. May the two princes start the final battle," the transparent elder announced solemnly.


    "The two princes'' subordinates can help the princes they support, but they can''t directly damage the other prince."


    There was only this one rule. This meant that the Ninth Prince''s team members could heal, defend, and transfer their power to the Ninth Prince. However, they weren''t allowed to attack the Fourth Prince directly or do something that would affect the Fourth Prince''s ability to battle.


    "Come, brother Ninth Prince. I never expected you would be able to reach this stage." The Fourth Prince walked forward in a calm and composed manner. The momentum of a king emanated from him ¨C from his perspective, he was already the Crown Prince, and the Ninth Prince whom he usually ignored had finally gained his recognition.


    "My goal is to defeat Brother Fourth Prince." The Ninth Prince took a deep breath as he walked out.


    The two princes both held their pseudo Crown Prince Seal with one hand as they slowly walked toward the center of the final battle ground.


    Weng~ Weng~


    Both princes'' pseudo Crown Prince Seals started to tremble at the same time, and a strong surge of draconic providence leapt into the air as golden light shone. A powerful and giant golden dragon could be seen in the air above the final battle ground, and its roar shook everyone''s soul.


    Boom! Boom!


    The two surges of draconic providence entered the bodies of the respective princes, and golden draconic light rose around the two princes. The draconic light glittered and lit up Heaven and Earth.


    "Draconic light that''s seven yards tall!" Zhuge Yun''s eyes glittered.


    The draconic light coming from the Fourth Prince''s body was over seven yards high. Precisely said, it had reached 7.4 yards.


    One had to know that the tallest draconic light that had ever appeared in the history of the Crown Prince trials had only reached 8.3 yards.


    "So unfortunate. The Ninth Prince has definitely lost; his draconic light is only 6.2 yards tall," an elder next to Zhuge Yun said.


    In comparison to the Fourth Prince''s draconic light, the Ninth Prince''s draconic light was a lot fainter.


    "A difference of one yard." Old Ying looked at the two princes.


    "Get ready to help!" Old Ying immediately called out.


    The members of the princes'' teams were allowed to support their princes. Although they had no chance of winning, the Ninth Prince didn''t admit defeat, so they couldn''t give up just like that.


    "Zhao Feng, where are your flying beasts?" Zhou Su''er asked carefully at this moment. When she was partnered with Zhao Feng, she knew that Zhao Feng had given some stolen Dragon Jades to some flying beasts. She just didn''t know how much draconic providence these pieces of Dragon Jade had accumulated by now and whether or not it could shrink the gap between the two princes.


    "There''s no need to rush," Zhao Feng replied gently.


    Weng~ Weng~


    When the draconic providence turned into battle-power, the two princes instantly became stronger than everyone present. The Fourth Prince had broken through to the Sacred Lord rank in the Imperial Tombs, and with the addition of the draconic providence now, his battle-power was approaching the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    Limitless pressure filled the air. The battle-power of the Ninth Prince opposite him was almost an entire level lower. The Ninth Prince felt troubled just trying to resist the Fourth Prince''s pressure.

 994 Clash of Draconic Providence

    Chapter 994 - Clash of Draconic Providence


    The Ninth Prince felt troubled just trying to resist the Fourth Prince''s pressure.


    Many different Intents suddenly appeared from behind the Ninth Prince and helped him fight back against this pressure.


    "Soul Sense Spiritual Technique!" Old Ying used a complex technique to send a faint soul power into the Ninth Prince''s soul. The Ninth Prince instantly felt the power of his soul increase, and his senses became sharper.


    "Buddhist Seed!" Zhou Su''er waved her hand, and a sparkling green seed slowly floated toward the Ninth Prince.


    "This technique can continuously heal you, and it''s even effective on the soul," Zhou Su''er told the Ninth Prince about the use of this technique.


    "Yellow Dragon Defense!" Shi Yulei ignited his bloodline and used a secret technique. A layer of moving dark yellow mist slowly appeared around the Ninth Prince; this was obviously a defensive secret technique of the Shi Family.


    "Eye Intent!" Zhao Feng didn''t hide anything either. He circulated his left eye and left a mark on the Ninth Prince''s soul.


    The Ninth Prince would now be able to use Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent through this mark, and even some of the abilities of the God''s Spiritual Eye. The Ninth Prince instantly felt everything in his sight become ten times clearer; his senses and his precision became perfect. Even the Fourth Prince in front of him started to become slightly transparent. He could see what was happening within the Fourth Prince''s body and how the latter was utilizing his Mystic Light Sacred Power.


    The Ninth Prince felt as if his overall strength had increased by an entire tier.


    Boom!


    The Ninth Prince puffed out his chest and looked the Fourth Prince directly in the eye. An invisible force arose and caused the air to shake.


    "Good, your team members are very excellent." Praise flashed through the Fourth Prince''s eyes. The momentum of the Ninth Prince was on par with his own after receiving the help of his team members.


    A golden sword with dragons carved onto it appeared in the Fourth Prince''s hand.


    "Receive this attack of mine!" The Fourth Prince lifted his sword and slashed out.


    The members behind the Ninth Prince instantly felt the power of a Sacred Lord crushing over. The power of this sword contained a very profound Intent of the Sword Dao.


    Zhou Su''er and Su Qingling took a few steps back and stood behind everyone else.


    "Terrifying! So, this is draconic providence when it''s controlled by a true imperial." Jing Kai exclaimed. This pressure wasn''t even aimed at him, it was aimed at the Ninth Prince in front of him. On top of that, the Fourth Prince was fighting alone ¨C none of his team members were helping him.


    Boom!


    The Ninth Prince also drew his ancient green sword of lightning. Lightning sparkled around it as he slashed out.


    The draconic providence nearby started to gather as the two swords slashed out.


    Bam! Boom!


    The Ninth Prince retreated a couple dozen steps before stabilizing his footing. If it wasn''t for Shi Yulei''s defensive secret technique, Zhou Su''er''s healing skill, and the buff to his senses and reaction time given by Old Ying and Zhao Feng, the Ninth Prince would have probably been severely injured already.


    On the other hand, the Fourth Prince only took half a step back from that terrifying clash. He had no trouble at all.


    "So strong! He''s fighting against our entire team alone!" Shi Yulei exclaimed even though their team technically wasn''t fighting.


    "The Fourth Prince was already very strong, and he has way more draconic providence than the Ninth Prince¡­." Old Ying slowly said. The difference between the two groups was very big. Furthermore, the Fourth Prince''s team members still hadn''t done anything yet.


    "Little World of Wind Lightning."


    Zhao Feng suddenly released his Little World of Wind Lightning around the Ninth Prince.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The power of the lightning in the Little World of Wind Lightning entered the Ninth Prince''s ancient green sword of lightning. At the same time, the Little World itself became the Ninth Prince''s shield.


    "What powerful lightning!" the Ninth Prince exclaimed. The Inheritance Sacred weapon he had in his hand was a Lightning-type weapon, but the Ninth Prince didn''t cultivate lightning techniques, so he was unable to fully release its power. However, with the addition of Zhao Feng''s lightning, the lightning within his Inheritance Sacred weapon was completely activated.


    The Ninth Prince could even sense that the lightning of Zhao Feng''s Little World easily surpassed the lightning inside his Inheritance Sacred weapon.


    Boom!


    At this instant, lightning started to crackle around the Ninth Prince''s draconic providence.


    "Not bad. Your momentum has become pretty strong, but it''s time to end this." The Fourth Prince''s voice was calm. Although the Ninth Prince''s battle-power had increased, it changed nothing.


    Exchanging blows with the Ninth Prince was to show that the Ninth Prince had gained his recognition. If he still continued to play around, it would just be humiliating the Ninth Prince.


    As the Fourth Prince''s voice sounded, the members behind him started to circulate their Emperor Intent and Sacred Lord Intent as they used secret techniques to buff the Fourth Prince.


    Weng~ Boom! Boom!


    Limitless power appeared around the Fourth Prince. Even the dimension was unable to handle it and started to crackle.


    "Come!" the Fourth Prince''s voice boomed across the sky.


    Whoosh!


    The Ninth Prince slashed out. An ancient green bolt of lightning surrounded by draconic light instantly flashed forward.


    The Fourth Prince put the sword with dragon carvings in front of his chest.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Ninth Prince''s attack was easily blocked. The limitless power of lightning wasn''t even able to break through the Fourth Prince''s defense.


    With the support of the Fourth Prince''s team, the Ninth Prince''s attacks wouldn''t be able to harm the Fourth Prince unless they became drastically stronger.


    "Let''s end this." The Fourth Prince waved his sword and shattered the Ninth Prince''s attack.


    Bam!


    The Fourth Prince raised his golden sword, and all the draconic providence in the air seemed to be attracted as it surged into the sword. The golden sword seemed to turn into a golden sun, and a faint golden dragon spitting out golden flames could be seen.


    Hu~


    Before the Fourth Prince''s attack was even unleashed, the Ninth Prince and company felt a pressure as strong as Mount Tai.


    However, an eagle cry suddenly sounded in the sky. Normal eagles were definitely unable to approach the battlefield of the two princes.


    Everyone raised their head and saw a bright light slowly falling down.


    "That''s a Dragon Jade!" someone on the Fourth Prince''s side exclaimed.


    Ding!


    The piece of Dragon Jade landed on the Ninth Prince''s body, and the draconic providence within it was absorbed by the Ninth Prince. The draconic light behind him grew by 0.1 yards.


    "Where did this Dragon Jade come from?" Shi Yulei was curious as well. The Dragon Jade had landed perfectly on the Ninth Prince. Could it be that the heavens themselves were helping them?


    Wu~~~


    A few more eagles cried.


    Ding!


    Three more bright lights landed on the Ninth Prince.


    Weng~ Boom!


    After absorbing the draconic providence within the Dragon Jades, the draconic light behind the Ninth Prince grew by another 0.2 yards.


    "This should be because of Zhao Feng. He used his beast taming abilities and gave some Dragon Jades to the beasts to gather draconic providence," Zhuge Yun explained to those that were curious behind the Fourth Prince.


    "But the draconic providence within those Dragon Jades is limited. Nothing has changed," Zhuge Yun said certainly. Nothing would change the Fourth Prince''s victory.


    "That''s right. Four pieces of Dragon Jade can only supply a limited amount," another member said.


    The Ninth Prince''s draconic light had only increased by 0.3 yards, reaching 6.5 yards total. The difference between the Ninth Prince''s draconic light and the Fourth Prince''s draconic light was still like the difference between heaven and earth.


    However, just as he finished saying that, the cries of even more eagles sounded in the distance.


    Ding! Ding! Ding! Bam!


    Five more pieces of Dragon Jade fell from the sky and landed on the Ninth Prince.


    Although there wasn''t much draconic providence in each piece of Dragon Jade, there were nine pieces in total so far. Everyone knew the logic behind small amounts adding up. At this moment in time, the Ninth Prince''s draconic light was close to reaching seven yards.


    "How is this possible? How can he have so many pieces of Dragon Jade?" a member in the Fourth Prince''s team exclaimed.


    These pieces of Dragon Jade were definitely taken from the members of other princes'' teams, but when a prince used the pseudo Crown Prince Seal to ask for help, the arrays within the Dragon Jades would still activate. How were all these Dragon Jades still in the Imperial Tombs?


    "The Ninth Prince''s draconic providence is reaching the level of the Fourth Prince''s," a member of the Fourth Prince''s team said deeply.


    On the other side, even though they didn''t know why so many pieces of Dragon Jade suddenly landed on the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince and the other members were all surprised and excited.


    The Dragon Winged Eagles suddenly flew over to Zhao Feng and disappeared.


    "Brother Zhao!" The Ninth Prince''s heart slightly shook. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to have prepared something like this. Now that the amount of draconic providence he had was so close to the Fourth Prince''s, fighting back wasn''t hopeless anymore. The Ninth Prince felt his blood boil.


    Zhao Feng had a calm expression. He originally had ten Dragon Winged Eagles, but one of them was lost while gathering draconic providence.


    The Fourth Prince watched all of this without saying anything. Even if the Ninth Prince''s draconic providence had increased from these nine pieces of Dragon Jade, he still wasn''t scared.


    Someone behind the Fourth Prince suddenly called out, "There''s still more Dragon Jades!"


    Everyone instantly looked into the distance, and the Fourth Prince''s expression finally changed. This time, it wasn''t Dragon Winged Eagles that were flying over, but several other flying beasts.


    Ding! Ding! Bam!


    Three pieces of Dragon Jade landed on the Ninth Prince, and the draconic light behind him grew taller. Both the Fourth Prince''s and Ninth Prince''s draconic light had reached 7.4 yards.


    Since Zhao Feng had sent these three flying beasts out earlier than the eagles, they had gathered slightly more draconic providence.


    "Let''s end this." The Fourth Prince''s voice was deep as he slashed forward with his sword. The Ninth Prince had the same amount of draconic providence as him now, but the Fourth Prince still had the absolute advantage in base strength.


    A golden flash of sword-light slashed toward the Ninth Prince like an ancient golden dragon.


    Wu~~


    When this sword descended, two flying beasts in the distance threw out the Dragon Jades in their claws toward the Ninth Prince. There was originally three, but one of them suffered an accident when gathering draconic providence.


    Bam!


    Limitless power of lightning and draconic providence spread out. The Ninth Prince''s sword unleashed peerless force that had broken through the Fourth Prince''s attack.


    "Good! This will be interesting." Battle-intent burned in the Fourth Prince''s eyes, but he was originally stronger and still had the support of his team members, so his overall battle-power was still slightly stronger than the Ninth Prince.


    Wu~~


    However, just as the Fourth Prince finished speaking, the cry of another bird sounded in the sky and made his heart shake.

 995 Grand Seal

    Chapter 995 - Grand Seal


    It wasn''t just the Fourth Prince''s heart that shook; the heart of every member behind him shook as well.


    Shua!


    A normal-looking black-colored eagle radiating an ancient and heavy aura threw down a piece of Dragon Jade, and this Dragon Jade was glowing with light as if it was a pure white crystal.


    This old eagle was a beast that Zhao Feng had enslaved in the Ancient Dream Realm. Because it came from that place, it had a big advantage in this dimension and could enter the more dangerous places to gather draconic providence. Therefore, this piece of Dragon Jade contained the most draconic providence so far.


    Boom!


    The draconic light behind the Ninth Prince roared and increased once more. A golden lightning dragon slowly rose behind him, and its power was far stronger than before.


    The Ninth Prince''s team was more excited than ever. Their blood boiled after experiencing a great rise after a great fall, and they had the urge to join in the battle as well.


    "Eight yards!" a member behind the Fourth Prince exclaimed.


    "How is this possible!?" Zhuge Yun''s tone was low as he questioned.


    This was the fifteenth piece of Dragon Jade. They had seen Zhao Feng take at least ten pieces of Dragon Jade from three princes, and Shen Jizi ¨C who specialized in arrays ¨C may have modified them to stop their teleportation arrays from failing to activate.


    However, even if they had so many Dragon Jades, this didn''t make any sense. The Dragon Jade delivered by this old black eagle contained a huge amount of draconic providence. Even if Zhao Feng made this beast gather draconic providence from the very beginning, it couldn''t have gathered so much.


    There were just too many suspicions and questions.


    "Eight yards of draconic light! That''s 0.6 yards more than the Fourth Prince''s!" Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning murmured.


    However, even if the Ninth Prince had 0.6 yards more draconic light than the Fourth Prince, the Ninth Prince still didn''t have much of an advantage. The baseline difference between the two princes was extremely big, and the difference between their teams was even bigger.


    "End this immediately," Zhuge Yun''s voice sounded in the minds of everyone on the Fourth Prince''s team.


    Everything had changed because of Zhao Feng. From attacking the cities to the moving maze palace to the fight for the Grand Seal, Zhao Feng could change the tide singlehandedly.


    Zhuge Yun looked at Zhao Feng''s calm expression and suddenly had zero confidence.


    "The Grand Seal shall be mine." The Fourth Prince raised his golden sword and gathered all his draconic providence. At the same time, many images and lights filled Heaven and Earth around him; these were the supportive abilities and defenses that his team members gave him.


    Hu~


    The Fourth Prince charged forward, and the draconic providence around him danced alongside him.


    Teng!


    The Ninth Prince also leapt into the air. At this instant, he had more draconic providence than the Fourth Prince and wasn''t scared of him at all.


    Ding! Boom!


    The two swords clashed. Lightning and golden light radiated across Heaven and Earth.


    "Younger brother, you surprise me."


    The Fourth Prince had an ugly expression. Now that he was fighting seriously against the Ninth Prince, he realized that the Ninth Prince''s usage of draconic providence had reached an extremely precise level. Furthermore, the Ninth Prince''s offensive style was also extremely profound.


    "Why is it like this!?" The experts behind the Fourth Prince exclaimed. The Ninth Prince only had 0.6 yards more draconic light than the Fourth Prince, but they were now on par with each other.


    One had to know that the Fourth Prince was a Sacred Lord already whereas the Ninth Prince was barely a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    "Brother Fourth Prince, you''re the target that I''m going to surpass."


    The Ninth Prince''s eyes twinkled as blood boiled in his heart. The supportive ability that Zhao Feng had given him allowed the Ninth Prince to control everything very precisely. This was why he could control the draconic providence so much better, closing the gap in cultivation between the Fourth Prince and himself.


    On top of that, the Ninth Prince could even anticipate what kind of technique the Fourth Prince was going to use by inspecting his actions and how he moved his True Yuan.


    "The Ninth Prince''s battle-power seems to have increased in an instant." Old Ying was surprised. He knew the Ninth Prince extremely well, and he could tell that the Ninth Prince''s technique was unique and could counter the Fourth Prince to a certain degree.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re really talented!" Shi Yulei praised Zhao Feng.


    The tide had completely turned. The Ninth Prince now had at least a fifty percent chance to become the Crown Prince.


    Chaos started to spread throughout the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Countless experts and forces couldn''t believe what they were seeing with their eyes. The Ninth Prince, who was ranked seventh before the trial started, was currently on par with the Fourth Prince after exchanging blows with him.


    How Zhao Feng gathered all that draconic providence was the main question of many experts. To begin with, it was a big problem just to gather so many pieces of Dragon Jade. Furthermore, destroying the arrays inside the Dragon Jades was a big problem as well. Normal array masters would need to spend a lot of time to destroy the array without damaging the Dragon Jade. However, Zhao Feng had somehow perfectly solved all these problems.


    "Fourth Prince!" Two Sacred Lords suddenly stood out behind the Fourth Prince. Even they weren''t able to accept the reality in front of them. They were the strongest team ¨C the Fourth Prince had to win.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning and another Sacred Lord used secret techniques to transfer a large amount of Mystic Light Sacred Power.


    The power that Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning transferred was more condensed and was slightly crystalline. This was a technique that only Sky Suspension Palace had.


    The battle-power of both the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince was currently close to the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. Apart from using some supportive abilities and secret techniques, normal experts couldn''t do much to help at this point. However, it was different for Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords; they were able to send over a large amount of refined Mystic Light Sacred Power.


    Weng~~


    The Fourth Prince felt a continuous flow of Sacred Power in his body. The problem was that this power was impure, but it was enough.


    Ding! Boom!


    The Fourth Prince released supreme force and Mystic Light Sacred Power with every movement.


    Bam!


    The Ninth Prince blocked the Fourth Prince''s attack again. His hands started to tremble, and the defensive secret technique that Shi Yulei used instantly crumbled apart.


    "Mystic Light Sacred Power¡­." the Ninth Prince murmured.


    Despite his power boost, he was still using True Yuan. This was the biggest difference between the Fourth Prince and himself, otherwise he could easily defeat the Fourth Prince with his draconic light that was 0.6 yards taller


    "Zhao Feng, what about that Yao bird from the very beginning?" Zhou Su''er asked curiously. She remembered that Zhao Feng could fly as soon as they entered the Imperial Tomb after summoning an ancient Yao bird. Zhao Feng then sent it to gather draconic providence after obtaining a Dragon Jade.


    "What? There''s still another beast?" Old Ying''s eyes were filled with joy.


    If there was even one more piece of Dragon Jade, it would completely close the difference in cultivation between the Fourth Prince and Ninth Prince.


    "Not good! Fourth Prince, quickly end it!" Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning''s expression changed dramatically.


    Zhou Su''er, Old Ying, and company didn''t speak with Spiritual Sense, so the other side could hear it very clearly. He and the other Sacred Lord immediately increased the amount of Sacred Power to the Fourth Prince.


    The Fourth Prince had a serious expression. He obviously heard it too.


    "Just lose already!" An explosion sounded around the Fourth Prince as all his draconic light entered the golden sword. He put as much Mystic Light Sacred Power into the Inheritance Sacred weapon as he possibly could.


    Ding! Weng~~~ Weng~~~


    The golden sword with dragon carvings seemed unable to withstand the power and started to rattle.


    "Golden Dragon Sacred Slash!"


    The Fourth Prince thrust out with his sword with both hands.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    A peerless gold-and-white light and a powerful Sword Intent swept over and destroyed everything in its path. Even the air started to twist.


    "Ninth Prince¡­! Not good!" Old Ying immediately exclaimed.


    The power of the Fourth Prince''s attack surpassed the attack of a normal late-stage Mystic Light Realm.


    "He''s combined the Mystic Light Sacred Power of three Sacred Lords." Shi Yulei''s voice shook.


    The Sacred Lords behind the Fourth Prince were using a special method to send over their Mystic Light Sacred Power, so he had three Sacred Lords'' worth of power including his own.


    "It''s coming!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed as he murmured gently. However, at this moment, everyone was completely attracted by the Fourth Prince''s all-out attack.


    The power from this attack covered everything. Only the Ninth Prince could feel a strong surge of draconic providence suddenly approach him.


    "Come!"


    Before the piece of Dragon Jade even made it to the Ninth Prince, he forcefully circulated a secret imperial technique and absorbed the draconic providence within it.


    Weng~ Boom! Boom!


    The stunning Golden Dragon Sacred Slash landed on the Ninth Prince just as the roar of a dragon sounded.


    The draconic light behind the Ninth Prince started to rise once more.


    8.1 yards¡­ 8.2¡­ 8.3¡­ 8.5!


    Boom!


    Draconic providence surrounded the Ninth Prince, and his ancient green sword of lightning slashed forward with peerless power.


    Peng! Boom!


    The peerless attack that was right in front of him was shattered, and a limitless surge of draconic force spread from the Ninth Prince.


    Boom!


    The Fourth Prince, who just unleashed his full power and thought that he won, was instantly thrown back several yards onto the ground. At this moment in time, the Ninth Prince''s power had completely surpassed him. He felt troubled just trying to resist against the pressure of this Intent.


    Boom!


    The Ninth Prince slashed out with his sword and shattered the pseudo Crown Prince Seal behind the Fourth Prince.


    Weng~~


    On the other hand, his pseudo Crown Prince Seal instantly released limitless golden light. Countless golden lines and dragons surrounded the little golden seal, and a mysterious and sacred power started to brew within the seal.


    "Grand Seal¡­ formed!"


    White light sparkled through the transparent elder''s eyes. At the same time, a giant white array spread across the stone stages and the battleground in the air.


    Weng~


    The next instant, the two princes and their team members had returned to the Great Gan Imperial Palace.


    The Crown Prince trial had officially come to an end.


    The Great Gan Imperial Palace was dead-silent for a moment before erupting into noise that shocked Heaven and Earth.


    "The Ninth Prince won!"


    "I didn''t even see how the tide turned at the end. What happened?"


    "I only saw the Ninth Prince''s draconic light rapidly rise at the end."


    Because the images were slightly blurry from the light of the Fourth Prince''s peerless attack, almost no one had seen how the Ninth Prince won.


    The other princes in the great hall were still in shock.


    "The Ninth Prince defeated Brother Fourth Prince?" The Seventh Prince couldn''t believe it.


    "How is this possible? The Ninth Prince won. Dammit, that Zhao Feng¡­!" The Thirteenth Prince''s body trembled and his expression became nasty.


    "Ninth Prince, Zhao Feng¡­ good job!" Duke Nanfeng immediately stood up and roared as he started clapping.


    Some forces of the lord dynasty and in the clouds were shocked, angry, or sad. There were many experts and princes that sighed unwillingly.


    No one paid attention to a hidden surge of wicked killing intent in a corner.


    "Hehe, I didn''t think it would be the Ninth Prince."

 996 Assassination in the Imperial Palace

    Chapter 996 - Assassination in the Imperial Palace


    The Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince and their team members appeared on the stone tablet. The instant the Seal of the Crown Prince appeared, a surge of draconic providence swept across the dimension, and the light from the stone stages started to fade away. The white light nearby also disappeared.


    Whoosh!


    The stone tablet turned into a streak of light and returned to the great hall of the Imperial Palace.


    "The Crown Prince trial has come to an end. The Ninth Prince will be the Crown Prince for now," a voice sounded from the depths of the great hall.


    "I didn''t think that the winner would be my ninth son, Zihang." Even the Sacred Emperor was surprised. He personally helped the Thirteenth Prince, but he was still defeated by the Ninth Prince. The Fourth Prince, who was the strongest prince, was also defeated by the Ninth Prince. The Sacred Emperor wasn''t even that familiar with his ninth son.


    On the other hand, anger flashed through the Sacred Empress''s eyes as she looked at the Ninth Prince and Zhao Feng.


    Although the Crown Prince trial had come to an end, the Great Gan Imperial Palace was even more festive than before. The Imperial Palace held the ceremony for the induction of the Crown Prince that very day.


    All the forces had a certain number of people that could enter the Imperial Palace. The Ninth Prince was extremely busy during the ceremony; countless forces sent him gifts and greeted him. Even members of the imperial family who were usually cold to the Ninth Prince came forward with smiles on their faces.


    "Zihang, I knew that you would stun us all." An imperial elder came forward and spoke.


    "Congratulations, brother Ninth Prince. Oh wait, I should call you the Crown Prince now." The Seventh Prince went forward and drank a cup of alcohol.


    Even the other princes needed to show their support to the Ninth Prince now. In the future, it might very well be the Ninth Prince who became the Sacred Emperor. At that moment in time, the lives of the other princes would depend on him.


    Apart from the Ninth Prince himself, all the forces and team members that had supported him to become the Crown Prince were all extremely busy during the ceremony as well.


    At this instant, some of the representatives from the Shi Family were so happy that their mouths couldn''t even close as they dealt with the other forces. The Shi Family was destined to rise now.


    "Brother Shi, I admired your performance in the Crown Prince trial." A genius from another superpower greeted Shi Yulei warmly.


    Elsewhere, Grand Duke Lan''s Palace, which Su Qingling was part of, was together with the representatives of the other Grand Duke Palaces. Many people even asked about Su Qingling''s marriage status.


    Although Zhao Feng hadn''t been in the continent zone for long, had a bad reputation, and didn''t know many forces, countless experts came to greet him as well. After all, anyone could see that the only reason the Ninth Prince could become Crown Prince was because of Zhao Feng''s help. Furthermore, Zhao Feng was very strong himself and had his own force.


    "Zhao Feng, I knew you would play a big part." Xin Wuheng smiled and walked over.


    "I''m just lucky." Zhao Feng smiled. He avoided some people that he didn''t know and walked toward Xin Wuheng.


    "Brother Zhao, you''re too humble." Xin Wuheng shook his head. One could say that the Fourth Prince had completely lost because of the sixteen Dragon Jades that Zhao Feng had.


    Xin Wuheng knew a bit about arrays, but even he wasn''t confident that he could destroy the teleportation arrays within them without destroying the Dragon Jade itself. Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s idea of gathering draconic providence had definitely been implemented from the very start, so everyone could see how farsighted he was.


    "Brother Xin is joking." Zhao Feng didn''t decline. In reality, Zhao Feng didn''t know anything about arrays, but one of the abilities of his golden eye was disintegration, which perfectly solved the problem.


    As long as he figured which part was the teleportation array, Zhao Feng could use his disintegration ability to destroy only that structure of the array, making it impossible to use. Such a thing might be difficult for Array Grandmasters, but it was extremely simple for Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, congratulations." The red-robed Tie Litian slowly walked over.


    Although the Tie Family supported the Fourth Prince ¨C who had lost because of Zhao Feng ¨C Zhao Feng''s display caused them to place great importance on him. The Tie Family was originally planning to forcefully take Zhao Feng back to the Tie Family after the Crown Prince trial ended, but Tie Litian was now coming forward and congratulating him.


    "Zhao Feng, you put on a big show this time." Duke Nanfeng smiled and congratulated as well. He was originally just planning to repay Zhao Feng with a favor, and he didn''t expect the Ninth Prince to actually become the Crown Prince at all. Instead of repaying his original favor, he now owed one more.


    After dealing with everyone, Zhao Feng went over to the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    "Grand Elder," Bi Qingyue said with joy.


    The Ocean Smoke Pavilion was a three-star power, and now that the Ninth Prince had won, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion would be the leader of the ocean region. With the protection of draconic providence form the lord dynasty, Bi Qingyue believed that she could quickly expand the Ocean Smoke Pavilion to the level that Zhao Feng wanted.


    "All of you can go back after the ceremony ends."


    There were still a few problems in the continent zone that Zhao Feng had to take care of, so he couldn''t leave just yet.


    Although Bi Qingyue was slightly disappointed, she immediately revealed a peaceful smile.


    Zhao Feng asked about the situation regarding the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and how the assassination organization was coming along. At the same time, he handed over a large amount of resources to Bi Qingyue.


    The assassination organization had just started, and the Ocean Smoke Pavilion''s wealth couldn''t be compared to some older forces. If they wanted to expand quickly, they would need a large amount of resources. This was one of the main reasons why Zhao Feng didn''t choose to strengthen his bloodline in the Heaven''s Legacy City.


    "Also, when you go back, send me all the information regarding the owner of the Eye of Samsara," Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    In another corner of the palace:


    "Chen''er, don''t be disheartened. You are still young. In terms of experience, you obviously don''t have as much as your elder brothers." A powerful male comforted the Thirteenth Prince.


    "I''m just very unwilling. Why is it the Ninth Prince who became the Crown Prince?" the Thirteenth Prince said in a soft voice.


    "Hehe, he might be the Crown Prince now, but who knows if he can sit there steadily?" the powerful male revealed a wicked smile and messaged.


    The Thirteenth Prince''s expression changed as he looked at his uncle.


    "The seat of Crown Prince isn''t that easy to sit on." The powerful male had a deep gaze.


    This was indeed the case. There were still several years left till the Sacred Emperor retired. This period of time was a test for the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince made any major mistakes, there would obviously be repercussions.


    "Father." On the other side, the Ninth Prince arrived before the Sacred Emperor.


    "Zihang, your performance was very good," the current Sacred Emperor smiled and said.


    All the imperial uncles nearby also laughed and agreed.


    The ceremony lasted till the night of the second day. At this moment, the Ninth Prince was finally able to go back and rest.


    "Your Highness Crown Prince, I will still need to stay at your place for a couple days," Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    "Brother Zhao, where will you be going later?" the Ninth Prince asked. He didn''t mind Zhao Feng staying at his place, but he could tell that Zhao Feng had important matters to attend to.


    "There''s some stuff I need to do." Zhao Feng didn''t give a clear reply.


    He wouldn''t be able to kill the Thirteenth Prince anytime soon, and he wouldn''t be able to see Zhao Yufei either. He also needed to find out information regarding the owner of the Eye of Samsara. He could ask Old Ying about it; although Old Ying had left the Imperial Sky Net, he should still be able to use some of his connections there.


    "Understood. Father will reward all of you tomorrow, so Brother Zhao needs to be there."


    The Ninth Prince knew that Zhao Feng had once declined the offer of Marquis from Duke Nanfeng, but this time, it was the Sacred Emperor himself who was going to be rewarding people.


    At the same time, the Ninth Prince took out a golden token. With this token, Zhao Feng was allowed to enter and leave the Imperial Palace whenever he wanted.


    "Thanks." Zhao Feng took the token. After all, not everyone could enter and leave the Imperial Palace as they wished.


    "Your Highness Crown Prince." Butler Qi, who was in front of the Ninth Prince''s hall, immediately came forward to greet them.


    Zhao Feng glanced at Butler Qi, and his left eye suddenly started to twitch.


    A cold glint suddenly appeared in Butler Qi''s hands.


    Whoosh!


    A half-transparent black dagger stabbed toward the Ninth Prince''s chest.


    "Butler Qi, you-!?"


    The Ninth Prince was shocked, but there was no time for him to defend himself. Butler Qi''s ambush was as quick as lightning, and he gave off a faint wicked disturbance of Mystic Light Sacred Power. The Ninth Prince would die even if he defended himself in time.


    Butler Qi revealed a wicked and gruesome smile, as if his assassination attempt had already succeeded. However, the next moment, Zhao Feng and the Ninth Prince disappeared amidst a flash of silver.


    "This is¡­?" Butler Qi revealed a stunned expression as his attack missed.


    "The ability to move through space!" Butler Qi''s tone was grim.


    Hu~


    He turned into a dark ray of light, merged into the darkness, and quickly retreated.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng and the Ninth Prince suddenly appeared in the room where Zhao Feng was in seclusion before the trial.


    "Zhao Feng, was that the ability of the Misty Spatial World?" The Ninth Prince''s heart thudded, and he took a deep breath as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng''s substandard God item had saved his life at the critical moment. It was probably a spatial marking that Zhao Feng had left behind when he was in seclusion.


    But why would Butler Qi want to kill him? Or rather¡­ that wasn''t Butler Qi.


    "Ninth Prince, you stay here. I''ll go have a look," Zhao Feng said before flying out. He had sensed something before Butler Qi had taken action. The real Butler Qi was most likely dead already.


    Zhao Feng was extremely surprised. Who would dare to enter the Imperial Palace and assassinate the person who just became Crown Prince?


    Zhao Feng first thought of the Thirteenth Prince. The Thirteenth Prince was rash enough to try something like this.


    "Furthermore, this person is very strong."


    Zhao Feng quickly flew through the Imperial Palace. When he teleported a moment ago, he left a marking of the God Eye on "Butler Qi." However, Zhao Feng could only faintly sense a direction now. This meant that the assassin had already discovered it and was using a technique to suppress Zhao Feng''s mark of the God Eye.


    "I didn''t expect him to have such an ability." The fake Butler Qi''s expression was grim and full of hatred as he moved swiftly through the Imperial Palace. The guards were unable to sense him.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng chased after the mark of the God Eye.


    "Who is it? No one is allowed to fly within the Imperial Palace!" The leader of a group of guards roared.


    "There''s an assassin!"


    Zhao Feng circulated his God Eye and released a surge of eye-bloodline power, which created an undulation from within Butler Qi''s soul.


    All the guards felt something was off. On top of that, they all knew Zhao Feng.


    "Assassin!"


    "Where?"


    All the guards within the Imperial Palace were alarmed.


    "Dammit, this brat!" The fake Butler Qi''s face started to twist. One could faintly see a face with black scales all over it.


    "I can''t escape anymore." The fake Butler Qi revealed an expression of despair as he suddenly came to a halt.


    "Let''s die together then, brat who meddles too much in other people''s business." The fake Butler Qi''s voice was deep and full of hatred as he charged back toward Zhao Feng.


    Hu~ Whoosh!


    The fake Butler Qi''s figure moved swiftly and arrived before Zhao Feng in an instant. A transparent black dagger that was able to completely ignore the resistance of space stabbed toward Zhao Feng.

 997 Sacred King

    Chapter 997 - Sacred King


    "Let''s die together then, brat who meddles too much in other people''s business." The fake Butler Qi''s voice was deep and full of hatred as he charged back toward Zhao Feng.


    The fake Butler Qi looked at Zhao Feng with enraged eyes and gritted his teeth. He failed to assassinate the Crown Prince because of Zhao Feng, and now his tracks had been revealed because of Zhao Feng as well. He never expected to die because of this youth who was just an Emperor.


    Hu~~


    The fake Butler Qi''s figure moved swiftly and arrived before Zhao Feng in an instant. A transparent black dagger that was able to completely ignore the resistance of space stabbed toward Zhao Feng.


    "A Heaven-grade Dao of Assassination weapon!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned to surprise. The strength that this fake Butler Qi displayed was unusual.


    "Sacred Lightning Protection!" A barrier of lightning suddenly formed around Zhao Feng''s body as the fake Butler Qi swiftly attacked.


    Hu~~


    The fake Butler Qi completely ignored Zhao Feng''s defense and circulated his Sacred Power as he thrust downward.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Protection instantly shattered, and powerful lightning shot back at the attacker.


    Weng~ Boom!


    The fake Butler Qi circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power to protect himself and continued the strike.


    "What?" Zhao Feng was stunned. The assassin didn''t even avoid the retaliation of Zhao Feng''s physical strength and lightning, he just used a bit of Sacred Power to block it. It seemed like this assassin didn''t care about his life anymore and had accepted that he was going to die.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng felt that something was off and immediately circulated his left eye to unleash a Soul technique.


    This assassin had probably hidden himself in the Imperial Palace the whole time and watched the Crown Prince trial, so he might know a bit about Zhao Feng''s strength and techniques. Furthermore, this assassin was currently displaying the strength of an early-stage Sacred Lord. Even though Zhao Feng had the Sacred Lightning Body, he didn''t dare to take this attack head-on.


    A stunning surge of fire shot out of Zhao Feng''s left eye. Purple-and-gold light glittered as God Tribulation crackled.


    Boom¡­!


    A ball of transparent purple-and-gold lightning-fire radiated a Destructive aura as it landed in the assassin''s face.


    Si~~


    The assassin cried out. The power of God Tribulation Lightning infiltrating his soul and body halted his movements.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng instantly retreated from the assassin.


    Most of the guards within the Imperial Palace were half-step Kings or early-stage Kings. Only the leaders of the small groups were Emperors. However, they still didn''t dare to approach the area where Zhao Feng and the assassin were fighting.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that the buildings in the Imperial Palace were extremely tough and had draconic providence and arrays protecting them, everything nearby would have been destroyed.


    "Die!" The assassin recovered within half a breath and charged at Zhao Feng once more. Being an assassin, he had a certain amount of understanding toward the soul. Therefore, the damage that Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique did to him was very limited.


    "Who dares to be presumptuous in the Great Gan Imperial Palace!?"


    A powerful roar that made one''s ears tremble sounded from behind, ringing out across the entire Imperial Palace.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The entire Imperial Palace started to tremble, and countless surges of draconic providence appeared. The draconic providence merged with the laws of Heaven and Earth and restricted this area. Even the air completely froze.


    Zhao Feng''s actions instantly stiffened and slowed down as if he had fallen into a swamp. Both his True Yuan and bloodline were heavily suppressed.


    Hu~


    A golden dragon made of light instantly appeared above the Imperial Palace like a blazing sun. A surge of Mystic Light Sacred Power filled everything within several hundred miles, and the power of draconic providence seemed to materialize and fill every inch of the air.


    It was as if all Heaven and Earth changed. Night had turned into day, and everything in the world was controlled by the golden figure.


    "What''s going on?" Tie Hongnan immediately raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance.


    "A Sacred King of the Great Gan Imperials has taken action." An elder of Sky Suspension Palace had a deep gaze.


    "The Great Gan Imperial Palace restricts fighting, but the Sacred King guarding the Imperial Palace has personally taken action?" Duke Nanfeng felt uneasy.


    All the imperials and various experts within the Imperial Palace felt their hearts shake as they felt the terrifying laws of Heaven and Earth.


    Bam! Boom!


    Several thousand guards around the golden figure immediately bowed due to the supreme force.


    Bam!


    Limitless Mystic Light Sacred Power and draconic providence surged around the assassin and formed a pair of hands with dragon tattoos on it.


    Hu~


    The assassin was grabbed by the hands and didn''t even have a thought of fighting back.


    "Hmph, how dare you offend the Great Gan Imperials?" A cold harrumph sounded from the figure in golden light.


    Crack!


    The hands made of golden light suddenly tightened, and the figure of the assassin was ripped apart, leaving behind a strange, half-transparent black soul that was bound by limitless laws and Sacred Power.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The golden figure glanced at Zhao Feng before disappearing into the surge of draconic providence. The dragon made of golden light instantly disappeared, and Heaven and Earth returned to normal.


    "That person was simply courting death. How dare they sneak into the Imperial Palace?"


    "Hmph, the imperials are unrivalled inside the Great Gan Imperial Palace."


    "That should be Sacred King Feather Spirit just now, right? That''s an expert at the Sacred King rank!"


    The guards exclaimed as they slowly moved back to their positions.


    "Sacred King¡­!" Zhao Feng''s heart shook.


    Only those who had reached the peak of the Mystic Light Realm and had a profound understanding of the laws of Heaven and Earth were able to be called Sacred Kings. Sacred Kings stood at the peak of the continent and were existences only below that of Demigods.


    In the instant when the Sacred King descended, Zhao Feng felt that the Sacred King had merged their laws into the air and could control everything. Furthermore, Imperial Sacred Kings in particular could control limitless draconic providence within the Imperial Palace; even other Sacred Kings would be utterly crushed.


    "Thank you, Emperor Zhao, for finding the tracks of that assassin," the leader of a group of guards said.


    Zhao Feng then returned to the Ninth Prince''s palace. Old Ying was also present.


    "Zhao Feng, who was that assassin?" the Ninth Prince immediately asked. Nothing like this had happened in the past couple dozen millennia in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    A Sacred King taking action had stunned all the members and forces within the lord dynasty. There was almost zero possibility of the assassin surviving.


    "I think it was a non-human." Zhao Feng analyzed according to the information and traces he had.


    "Non-human!? They''ve managed to enter the Great Gan Imperial Palace?" the Ninth Prince exclaimed.


    Maybe the non-human managed to sneak in because the Crown Prince trial had temporarily redirected the draconic providence. However, a non-human entering the Great Gan Imperial Palace had extra significance than any other assassin.


    "No wonder his target was the Crown Prince." Old Ying had a deep gaze.


    A terrifying surge of soul power radiated in a forbidden ground at the back of the Imperial Palace. Sacred King Feather Spirit reached out and put a hand on the half-transparent black soul.


    Boom!


    The soul was instantly shattered under his powerful Soul Intent.


    "The non-humans may have already infiltrated the Great Gan Imperials," Sacred King Feather Spirit''s voice sounded after a while.


    Several balls of light nearby occasionally went bright or dim, and they were silent for a long time.


    "If that really is the case, then news of the non-humans attacking should still be on its way." An ancient voice sighed.


    One needed five months to travel from the northwestern region of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty to the central regions even if they used teleportation arrays. However, only ten days was needed if it was only information and it was sent through the unique structure of the imperial array network.


    At this moment, a voice sounded from outside, "Reporting to Grand Elder, intel has arrived from the northwestern region."


    "Come in," the ancient voice sounded, and a golden piece of paper with the image of a dragon on it landed in Sacred King Feather Spirit''s hand.


    Weng~~


    The dragon seal on it instantly disappeared.


    "The non-humans have attacked," a grave voice sounded in everyone''s souls.

 998 Tracks

    Chapter 998 - Tracks


    Three people sat around a table in the Ninth Prince''s hall.


    "Old Ying, how much do you know about the Eyes of Samsara?" Zhao Feng asked.


    With Old Ying''s experience, he definitely knew a lot more than others.


    "The Eyes of Samsara have the ability to bind the souls of the dead and create Immortal Samsara Bodies. Apparently though, that''s just the ability of the Samsara of Death. The Eyes of Samsara has another samsara ¨C the Samsara of Life."


    Old Ying slowly thought and spoke in a solemn tone.


    The Eyes of Samsara were very rare even amongst the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes, and they had a very unique ability. An inheritor of the Eyes of Samsara rarely appeared in the continent''s history, which meant that the intel regarding the abilities of the Eyes of Samsara was limited. Old Ying wasn''t sure about the abilities of the Samsara of Life.


    "There''s also a Samsara of Life?" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    He didn''t expect there to be a Samsara of Life as well. Perhaps the Samsara of Life was that critical point to finding Liu Qinxin that the Sage had talked about?


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    "Are there no traces or information on the whereabouts on the inheritor of the Eyes of Samsara?"


    Zhao Feng didn''t give up. The inheritor of one of the Eight Great God Eyes was on the continent and didn''t care about what happened on it? Even an intel agency such as the Imperial Sky Net couldn''t find them?


    "Apparently the inheritor of the Eyes of Samsara appeared in the Yu Province a thousand years ago." Old Ying seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke.


    In reality, even the Imperial Sky Net was unable to track an individual like the owner of the Eyes of Samsara because they worked alone. There were many places in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty that were dangerous and didn''t have many people around. There was also the Cang Ocean and other areas that were extremely far away, outside of the Imperial Sky Net''s control.


    Furthermore, the owner of the Eyes of Samsara was purposely hiding their identity.


    "That was when the Emperor of Death arrived at the continent zone," Old Ying said. He then told Zhao Feng about what happened between the Emperor of Death and the owner of the Eyes of Samsara.


    "Something must have happened between them for the Eyes of Samsara to revive the Emperor of Death from so far away." Zhao Feng guessed.


    One had to know that he had killed the Emperor of Death in the Cang Ocean. If there was no previous relationship between the Eyes of Samsara owner and the Emperor of Death, it was impossible for the Emperor of Death to revive in the continent zone.


    However, even if there was a previous connection between them, it was still incredible that the Eyes of Samsara could revive the Emperor of Death and his Eyes of Death as well. From this fact alone, one could easily tell that the owner of the Eyes of Samsara was far stronger than the Emperor of Death.


    "Zhao Feng, why do you want to find the Eyes of Samsara owner?" Old Ying asked curiously.


    From his perspective, Zhao Feng trying to find the Eyes of Samsara owner might very likely be because he wanted revenge. After all, the Eyes of Samsara owner had revived the Emperor of Death, one of Zhao Feng''s greatest enemies. Without the Eyes of Samsara owner''s help, it would be impossible for the Emperor of Death to roam around so freely.


    However, the strength of the Eyes of Samsara owner wasn''t something that Zhao Feng could fight against right now.


    "I''m slightly interested in the descendants of the Eight great God Eyes. I also want them to help me with something."


    Zhao Feng''s reply made Old Ying''s suspicions disappear. Old Ying could tell that Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline was unusual as well.


    The eye-bloodlines of the Eight Great God Eyes had always been the strongest. Despite that, Zhao Feng managed to kill the Emperor of Death twice.


    Eye-bloodlines that were comparable to the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes were extremely rare.


    "If you want to find them, I believe that you can," Old Ying smiled and said.


    Zhao Feng had defeated the Emperor of Death, whom had been revived by the Eyes of Samsara. Did the Eyes of Samsara owner not want to see a powerful eye-bloodline outside of the Eight Great God Eyes? Old Ying was slightly looking forward to Zhao Feng meeting the Eyes of Samsara.


    "Brother Zhao, I can help you with this." The Ninth Prince promised. Finding someone required a lot of people and information, and the Ninth Prince believed that he was able to help Zhao Feng in this respect.


    "By the way, the Ji Family is the one in charge of the Yu Province, right?" Zhao Feng suddenly remembered.


    "En. It''ll be too hard to find one person in the Yu Province by yourself, and I don''t know if the Ji Family would be willing to help you." Old Ying sighed.


    Although the Ninth Prince was now the Crown Prince, no one knew if he would be able to sit on this seat smoothly and become the Sacred Emperor.


    In this period of time, the other princes would be standing against the Ninth Prince. If an "accident" happened to the Ninth Prince, then they had the possibility of fighting to become the Crown Prince again.


    If the other princes stood against the Ninth Prince, then the forces supporting them should be the same as well. The Ji Family was a force that supported the Eighth Prince.


    In the third stage of the Crown Prince trial, Zhao Feng had done a lot of damage to the Thirteenth Prince and the Eighth Prince. Therefore, the Ji Family definitely wouldn''t welcome Zhao Feng.


    "That might not be the case." Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile.


    When Zhao Feng and Duanmu Qing were heading toward the center of the continent zone, they met Sacred Lord Star Demon on the way, a Grand Elder of the Ji Family. Since Sacred Lord Star Demon invited Zhao Feng to visit, he wouldn''t reject Zhao Feng just because the princes they supported were different.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng was very interested in books about the Ji Family''s eye-bloodline. There were probably eye-bloodlines stronger than the Purple Star Eyes in the continent zone. However, the Ji Family was the strongest eye-bloodline family, and the power of a big family wasn''t something an individual could be compared to.


    "Sacred Lord Star Demon hasn''t left yet, right?" Zhao Feng suddenly asked.


    "Zhao Feng, you know Sacred Lord Star Demon?" Old Ying was surprised. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng had his own way.


    This night was destined to be noisy. More guards patrolled the Imperial Palace, and they were stronger as well. There was also the occasional aura of unique treasures, which were most likely tools used to find non-humans.


    Zhao Feng could also feel several powerful auras hiding around the Ninth Prince''s hall. In the past, the Imperial Palace was the safest place in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. There would be almost no experts around the princes while they were within the Imperial Palace. However, tonight was different.


    Many forces had already received this news on the second day. The Tie and Yu Families immediately returned, and some of the forces could guess what was happening.


    The Sacred Emperor sat on the golden dragon throne at the head of the great hall within the Imperial Palace. On the two sides of the great hall were the princes and the representatives of the Grand Duke Palaces.


    "Zihang, now that you are the Crown Prince, you need to work harder and also learn about the politics of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty¡­." The current Sacred Emperor kept on telling the Ninth Prince.


    "Tell the world that Zhou Zihang is officially the Crown Prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty."


    The Sacred Emperor wrote an edict. The contents of this edict would soon travel around the eighteen provinces of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "The team members that supported the Ninth Prince will be rewarded with the title of Marquis and will be able to have the protection of draconic providence of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty¡­."


    The Sacred Emperor wrote down another edict.


    When one had the protection of draconic providence, their overall strength would be increased while they were within the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Furthermore, providence was an invisible power that could affect many other things, most of which were usually good.


    On top of that, a Marquis could have several island zones, which could be discussed with the group responsible for distributing territories in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    Of course, the main reward of becoming a Marquis was the special authority they had in all eighteen provinces.


    The representatives from each province gave their reports. The Sacred Emperor then quickly called the meeting to an end and said nothing about the non-humans.


    "From the looks of it, the problem with the non-humans isn''t that great."


    During the past thousand years, the two Lord Dynasties were constantly fighting against each other on a small scale. There was no point for Zhao Feng to think too much about it.


    Zhao Feng then headed toward the Eighth Prince''s Palace after saying goodbye to the Ninth Prince.


    "Master." Bi Qingyue and company from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion had been waiting here for a long time. The journey to the Yu Province was exactly on the way for Bi Qingyue and company, so Zhao Feng used the Dark Heart Seal to send her information.


    "All of you come with me and greet the Ji Family."


    Interacting with the Eight Big Families would be able to increase the Ocean Smoke Pavilion''s connections. This was very important for the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, which was an information agency.


    "Little Friend Zhao, we haven''t met for a while, but your eye-bloodline techniques have improved even more." Sacred Lord Star Demon led the Ji Family out of the Eighth Prince''s palace.


    Ji Wuye, Ji Lan, Ji Dengtian, and company from the Ji Family instantly looked at Zhao Feng.


    Ji Lan had a complicated expression. Zhao Feng easily defeated her in the Divine Illusion Dimension, and now he had defeated two geniuses of the Ji Family''s previous generation in the Imperial Tombs.


    On the other hand, Ji Wuye looked at Zhao Feng with admiration.


    "Senior Star Demon is joking. This junior wants to see the strongest eye-bloodline family in the continent and learn from them."


    The Ninth Prince had sent people over to give the Ji Family a heads-up last night. This was why those from the Ji Family had been waiting for Zhao Feng.


    Although the Eighth Prince was the Crown Prince''s opponent, Sacred Lord Star Demon didn''t show any signs of enmity toward Zhao Feng, making the latter look at him in a different perspective.


    Perhaps in Sacred Lord Star Demon''s eyes, only eye-bloodlines and eye-bloodline techniques were the important.


    Zhao Feng believed that he would benefit from this journey.


    "Hahaha, the Ji Family welcomes any powerful eye-bloodline." Sacred Lord Star Demon couldn''t help but laugh.


    While Zhao Feng hadn''t used the abilities of his eye-bloodline much in the Crown Prince trial, Sacred Lord Star Demon noticed things that others didn''t since he was paying a lot of attention to Zhao Feng.


    "Maybe these disciples of the Ji Family can also learn from Little Friend Zhao," Sacred Lord Star Demon said. This sentence was obviously meant for the members of the Ji Family behind him.


    The meaning was very clear; although they supported the Crown Prince''s enemy, the princes would still maintain a good relationship on the surface at least. Therefore, they could take this chance to learn something if they formed a good relationship with Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng then left the Imperial Palace with Sacred Lord Star Demon and company.


    Within the Eighth Prince''s hall:


    "Eighth Prince¡­?" Luo Zun asked.


    "Your Highness, although the Ninth Prince became the Crown Prince, it will be hard for him to sit on his seat steadily with just the small number of forces that support him, and the current situation¡­" an elder nearby analyzed.


    His meaning was very clear; there was no need for the Eighth Prince to help the Ninth Prince, so he should prevent this connection between Zhao Feng and the Ji Family. All he needed to do was wait for the right moment, and maybe he would be able to obtain the seat of Crown Prince.


    "I have my own thoughts." The Eighth Prince interrupted with a decisive tone.


    "Understood." The elder was faintly surprised and said no more. Being a strategist, all he could do was give ideas. The true leader was still the prince.


    Luo Zun paused for a moment before understanding what the Eighth Prince meant. The Eighth Prince no longer wanted to oppose Zhao Feng.


    If the Ninth Prince could become the Crown Prince because of Zhao Feng, then why couldn''t Zhao Feng also help him stay on that seat steadily and become the Sacred Emperor?

 999 Collection of Eye-Bloodline Techniques

    Chapter 999 - Collection of Eye-Bloodline Techniques


    Zhao Feng followed Sacred Lord Star Demon and arrived at the Ji Family in the Yu Province four months later.


    The Yu Family was based in a forest surrounded by streams, and it was covered by a purple mist. Normal people would find it hard to even find the entrance to the Ji Family if they didn''t have a member of the Ji Family leading them or some unique secret technique.


    "This is indeed a Xanadu." Zhao Feng praised.


    Everything within several thousand miles of the Ji Family was covered in a purple mist. Not only was it beautiful, it also had the ability to hypnotize anyone who looked at it and create illusions.


    In addition, because the members of the Ji Family were born and raised in this environment, their resistance to illusions was extremely strong.


    "Little Friend Zhao, you came this time to exchange eye-bloodline techniques, right?" Sacred Lord Star Demon asked with a smile.


    Although he had invited Zhao Feng over using the Ji Family''s collection of eye-bloodline techniques, the Ji Family obviously wouldn''t show Zhao Feng everything they had. Simply put, Zhao Feng would also have to take out some special eye-bloodline techniques if he wanted the good stuff.


    "Uh¡­ this junior is here to learn something." Zhao Feng gave an awkward smile.


    He knew that Sacred Lord Star Demon was very interested in his disintegration ability. Zhao Feng also knew that the ability of his left eye was very unique, otherwise he wouldn''t have been marked as a cheater in the moving maze palace.


    Zhao Feng obviously didn''t want to reveal his disintegration secret technique. Even if he did though, there was probably no eye-bloodline in the continent that could use it.


    The golden ripple came from the mysterious golden ball, which was referred to as the Light of Transparency and Dispersion by the Heaven''s Legacy Race automatons. This was the first time Zhao Feng had heard of the Light of Transparency and Dispersion as well, and he still didn''t completely understand it, so it was best not to reveal it.


    "Little Friend Zhao is too humble. No junior of the Ji Family is your match."


    Sacred Lord Star Demon''s expression paused for a moment. Zhao Feng''s unwilling attitude made him slightly unhappy. Even if Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique was very rare, was it rarer than the entire collection of the Ji Family?


    Hearing that, Ji Lan and Ji Wuye lowered their heads, and Ji Dengtian and Ji Bai were unhappy. It wasn''t just the juniors of the Ji Family that weren''t Zhao Feng''s match ¨C even those of the previous generation weren''t his match.


    "I''ve come here for something else that I need Senior''s help with." Zhao Feng thought before saying.


    "What is it? You can tell me" Sacred Lord Star Demon''s expression remained the same. He thought that Zhao Feng had come to learn eye-bloodline techniques and didn''t expect Zhao Feng to have other issues.


    "I want to find someone in the Yu Province," Zhao Feng said directly.


    "Oh? A person?" Sacred Lord Star Demon and the others from the Ji Family revealed curious expressions. The person Zhao Feng was searching for must be very unique if he wasn''t able to find them even with his status among the Ninth Prince''s forces. Even Old Ying and the Ocean Smoke Pavilion couldn''t do anything?


    "The owner of the Eyes of Samsara," Zhao Feng said, and those from the Ji Family revealed surprised expressions.


    The person that Zhao Feng wanted to find was the descendent of one of the Eight Great God Eyes? They had heard legends about the Eyes of Samsara; they had appeared in the continent several thousand years ago before disappearing.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon''s expression froze for a while before speaking, "I can help you with that."


    "Thank you," Zhao Feng said with a faint smile.


    The group of people soon arrived at the Ji Family proper, and Sacred Lord Star Demon led Zhao Feng to enter the inner regions through an entrance at the back of the mountain.


    "Little Friend Zhao, since you''re searching for someone, why don''t you stay at the Ji Family for now?" Sacred Lord Star Demon said.


    "Thank you for your trouble," Zhao Feng replied. Finding someone couldn''t be done within a day or two. Furthermore, if he was going to read their collection of eye-bloodline techniques, he couldn''t show them how fast he could read. It would take a bit longer, but it wouldn''t reveal anything suspicious.


    "Ji Lan, show Little Friend Zhao and the others where to stay," Sacred Lord Star Demon ordered before disappearing into the purple mist.


    "Thank you," Zhao Feng said respectfully.


    Ji Lan then led Zhao Feng, Bi Qingyue, and company to a stunning garden.


    "All of you may stay here for now," Ji Lan said before leaving.


    "Master, I think that Sacred Lord Star Demon knows a bit about the Eyes of Samsara," Bi Qingyue said after Ji Lan left.


    "I could see that as well." Zhao Feng had a grim expression, but if Sacred Lord Star Demon wasn''t willing to tell him, there was nothing he could do.


    Zhao Feng would definitely ask one more time before he left, and he hoped to obtain at least something from Sacred Lord Star Demon.


    "All of you can stay here for now. If you have time, travel around and meet with some of the upper echelon members of the Ji Family," Zhao Feng said before walking into a room.


    Ji Lan came to Zhao Feng on the second morning.


    "Zhao Feng, Sacred Lord Star Demon invites you over."


    Ji Lan then led Zhao Feng to a secret hall in a forest.


    "Both of you can come in." Sacred Lord Star Demon''s voice sounded from within the hall.


    Ji Lan''s heart moved. Since Sacred Lord Star Demon said "both," that meant she could enter as well.


    This was Sacred Lord Star Demon''s private property. Some of the collections here were even more precious than the collection of the family itself. One might even be able to see the profound eye-bloodline techniques that Sacred Lord Star Demon was still working on.


    The hall was dark, and the layout was very simple.


    "This is my private collection. Little Friend Zhao can read any books on the left. As for the right side, you''ll have to stop."


    Sacred Lord Star Demon was pretty proud of himself. Although there were only two bookshelves here, the contents within them were extremely rare in the outside world.


    Zhao Feng glanced at the bookshelf on the right side. A white screen with runes of different colors spun around it.


    Zhao Feng didn''t say anything and first started to read the items on the left bookshelf.


    "You can also read," Sacred Lord Star Demon told Ji Lan.


    Ji Lan started to read through the books alongside Zhao Feng with Sacred Lord Star Demon''s permission. However, every book here contained a sea of knowledge and would require a lot of time just to memorize it.


    Zhao Feng took out a random book and started to read it. The contents and theories were extremely detailed. If Zhao Feng had read this when he first started learning eye-bloodline techniques, his mastery would have increased by leaps and bounds.


    Looks like everything in Sacred Lord Star Demon''s private collection is extremely precious and rare.


    Zhao Feng was surprised. Although the contents of these books weren''t as good as the Xie Yang books in the ancient mysterious palace, they were all related to eye-bloodline techniques, which was extremely useful to Zhao Feng.


    A normal Emperor would need two hours just to memorize the contents of one of these books. Although Zhao Feng could directly copy it all into his left eye, Sacred Lord Star Demon and Ji Lan were present, so it was better for him to just memorize while reading and not over-display him ability.


    "I wonder if there''s any progress regarding the owner of the Eyes of Samsara?" Zhao Feng asked while flipping through this book.


    "Actually, the owner of the Eyes of Samsara came to the Ji Family several thousand years ago."


    Sacred Lord Star Demon said something that surprised even Ji Lan. She didn''t know such a thing even though she was a member of the Ji Family.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He didn''t expect Sacred Lord Star Demon to actually answer his question. From the looks of it, Sacred Lord Star Demon didn''t reveal anything earlier because there were too many people present.


    "Back then, he came to read the eye-bloodline techniques collection of the Ji Family, and he even left behind some of his eye-bloodline techniques and theories." Sacred Lord Star Demon said an even more unknown and shocking piece of news.


    "Techniques and theories regarding the Eyes of Samsara!?" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Eye-bloodline techniques and theories about the Eyes of Samsara would be something like the Dark Eyes Secret Manual that he had obtained from Duanmu Qing. However, without a doubt, whatever the owner of the Eyes of Samsara personally left at the Ji Family was more precious.


    "But the Ji Family isn''t sure about his current information. We don''t even know if he''s still in the Yu Province," Sacred Lord Star Demon added.


    "Thank you for telling me, Senior Sacred Lord Star Demon." Zhao Feng put his hands together and gave thanks. Not only had Sacred Lord Star Demon revealed his private collection to Zhao Feng, he also told Zhao Feng such a huge secret.


    "What he left behind is on the bookshelf to your right." Sacred Lord Star Demon revealed a cunning smile.


    Zhao Feng gave a helpless smile and became immersed in the book in his hands.


    On the other side, Ji Lan didn''t care about Zhao Feng at all and tried to memorize as much content as possible so she could fully comprehend it later.


    Time flew by quickly, and the light within the room became dimmer and dimmer, but they didn''t sense it at all.


    "Okay, I will be going to rest now. Ji Lan, please take Little Friend Zhao back," Sacred Lord Star Demon''s voice sounded from the other room.


    "Yes." Ji Lan unwillingly put the book back into the bookshelf.


    "Sir Zhao, please come with me."


    Ji Lan looked at Zhao Feng and didn''t have the complicated emotions that she had before. If it wasn''t for Zhao Feng, she wouldn''t have been able to browse Sacred Lord Star Demon''s private collection, so she had to thank Zhao Feng for that. One had to know that Sacred Lord Star Demon''s own disciple, Ji Wuye, had only been allowed to browse this collection for one day.


    "Why do you want to find the owner of the Eyes of Samsara?" Ji Lan asked on the way back. The last time the Eyes of Samsara appeared was a thousand years ago, so Zhao Feng shouldn''t have any connections with him.


    "The owner of the Eyes of Samsara can help me find someone very important," Zhao Feng replied simply.


    "Oh." Ji Lan nodded her head and seemed to half-understand.


    At this moment in time, three people from the Ji Family approached them from the front.


    "Ji Lan, you''re back." A handsome purple-haired youth was very excited and immediately walked over.


    "En, I just came back." Ji Lan revealed a helpless expression.


    "Hmm? This is¡­?" The youth Ji Lian looked at Zhao Feng with a not-so-friendly gaze.


    The other two Ji Family members looked at Zhao Feng as if there was going to be a good show. Everyone knew that Ji Lian loved Ji Lan. This was why she had no other pursuers in the younger generation of the Ji Family even though she was such a beauty. They didn''t expect this outsider to be so close to Ji Lan.


    "He''s a guest of the Ji Family ¨C Zhao Feng," Ji Lan replied honestly, and the three in front revealed weird expressions.


    Zhao Feng? Wasn''t he one of the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo from the Divine Illusion Dimension? Didn''t he plunder a bunch of resources from the Ji Family? How come he was now a guest of the Ji Family and very close to Ji Lan?


    Ji Lan only remembered all that when she saw their expressions. The detailed news from the Crown Prince trial might not have entered their ears yet. Right now, the eighteen provinces only knew that the Ninth Prince had become the Crown Prince.


    "Zhao Feng? I don''t care if you plundered resources from the Ji Family in the Divine Illusion Dimension, but I can''t allow you to be so close to Ji Lan." Ji Lian''s tone changed as he warned Zhao Feng.

 1000 Purple Star Tower

    Chapter 1000 - Purple Star Tower


    "Zhao Feng? I don''t care if you plundered resources from the Ji Family in the Divine Illusion Dimension, but I can''t allow you to be so close to Ji Lan." Ji Lian''s tone changed as he warned Zhao Feng.


    Even if Zhao Feng was a guest of the Ji Family, Ji Lian didn''t need to be respectful to Zhao Feng. This was how proud the Eight Big Families were.


    Ji Lan faltered for a moment before preparing to stop Ji Lian. With Zhao Feng''s current status and the force behind him, even the Ji Family didn''t want to form a bad relationship with him. Especially if the Ninth Prince became the Sacred Emperor, then the forces behind Zhao Feng would only become even stronger. They might only need a couple hundred years before surpassing the Ji Family entirely.


    However, she suddenly realized that maybe Zhao Feng could help her get rid of Ji Lian.


    "Ji Lan, I''ll be going first then." Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same as he said goodbye to Ji Lan.


    Ji Lan was surprised. She didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be so calm and just leave straight away.


    She didn''t want to face Ji Lian alone and was about to say something to Zhao Feng before realizing that she actually didn''t know Zhao Feng that well.


    Zhao Feng glanced at Ji Lian before leaving. This was the Ji Family, and Zhao Feng owed Sacred Lord Star Demon a big favor, so he didn''t want to cause trouble.


    "Did you hear what I just said!?" Ji Lian roared as he saw Zhao Feng''s calm expression and how he was about to just leave. It was as if Zhao Feng had completely ignored him.


    "Mind your own business." Zhao Feng''s voice was cold as he continued to leave.


    "What? You¡­!" Ji Lian''s face went slightly red. Zhao Feng''s words meant that he completely didn''t put Ji Lian in his eyes.


    "Where does your confidence come from when you''re in the Ji Family''s territory?" Ji Lian instantly turned around, and a faint ripple of eye-bloodline power flashed in his Purple Star Eyes.


    "Don''t!" Ji Lan immediately tried to stop Ji Lian. She didn''t expect him to actually attack. However, it was too late; the release of an eye-bloodline technique only required an instant.


    Chains made of purple mist appeared around Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng still slowly left as if he was completely unaffected.


    "Hmph!" Ji Lian''s face was green. Although he didn''t put much effort into cultivation, there was no effect even after he took action. There were also other members of the same age group watching. Where would his face go after this?


    Ji Lian instantly released all his Eye Intent. Ji Lian was an Emperor, and although his mastery of eye-bloodline techniques was just average among the Ji Family, this skill was enough to trap a peak Emperor in a world of illusions.


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed. Although he was still completely unaffected, Ji Lian was starting to annoy him.


    Even if Zhao Feng peacefully left today, Ji Lian might come trouble him again in the future. After all, Zhao Feng still needed to stay at the Ji Family for a while.


    Zhao Feng suddenly turned around, and a purple-golden light started to flow through his left eye and turn into an endless abyss that was extremely alluring.


    Ji Lian''s illusion instantly broke apart.


    "What?" Ji Lian''s eyes shook as he instinctively looked at Zhao Feng''s eyes. The next instant, Ji Lian arrived in a purple maze palace. The maze palace was surrounded by mist, and there was a storm of wind and lightning booming above.


    "Ji Lian, what happened to you?" One of the people next to Ji Lian found that he seemed to have become an idiot and was just standing there.


    Ji Lian had no reaction to anything they said. The two others tried all sorts of eye-bloodline techniques, but they all had no effect on him.


    "What did you do to Ji Lian!?" The two disciples slightly panicked.


    From this, they could obviously see how strong Zhao Feng was. However, Zhao Feng was destined to suffer if he took action against Ji Lian.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with them. He just turned around and left.


    At this instant, Ji Lan also immediately followed behind him.


    "You didn''t do anything to him, right?" Ji Lan looked at Zhao Feng and was slightly worried. She was pretty skilled with illusions, and even she was surprised. What kind of illusion did Zhao Feng use that it was so effective against a member of the Ji Family?


    One had to know that the members of the Ji Family not only had the Purple Star Eyes, which were extremely resilient against illusions, but they were also born and raised in this special misty area that increased resistance to illusions. The Ji Family also specialized in the Dao of the Soul and the Dao of Illusions as well, so they should easily be able to break through any illusion.


    "He''ll recover in a while." Zhao Feng thought for a moment before saying. The illusion he just used was a new illusion technique he had constructed by using the Eye of Illusion ¨C Purple Star Chaos that he learned during his last encounter with the Ji Family, as well as some comprehensions he had gained in Sacred Lord Star Demon''s secret hall earlier.


    The technique didn''t just drag the opponent''s consciousness into his own illusion, it could also change one''s senses, including their Divine Sense, to make them feel as if they were in a real world. It could completely trap the enemy in a world of illusion because they wouldn''t know it was one.


    When someone entered an illusion, most people knew that everything around them was fake, which is why they could struggle out of it. However, what if the person in the illusion thought everything around them was real?


    Of course, Zhao Feng was just testing this illusion technique. He still needed to browse through more eye-bloodline techniques to perfect it.


    Zhao Feng suddenly felt that he needed to pick up the Dao of the Soul and the Dao of Illusions again.


    "Oh." Ji Lan nodded her head. Although she knew that Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques were extremely powerful, she didn''t expect that his mastery of illusions had reached such a high level as well.


    "But you need to watch out for Ji Lian. He might trouble you later," Ji Lan warned, but then immediately felt that there was no need. Zhao Feng had been invited by Sacred Lord Star Demon personally. Adding on Zhao Feng''s strength, there wasn''t much Ji Lian could do to Zhao Feng. Even the upper echelon members behind Ji Lian shouldn''t trouble Zhao Feng just for Ji Lian.


    Zhao Feng then started to comprehend the books he had memorized when he returned to his room. He also started to multi-task and cultivate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and comprehend the laws of Destruction contained in the God Tribulation Lightning.


    The Dao of Illusions had two paths. One was an offensive Dao of Illusion attack that could directly affect the soul. The other was a Dao of Illusion trap that was used as support.


    Most members of the Ji Family chose Dao of Illusion attacks.


    "The collection of the Ji Family is definitely the best in the continent." Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. He still remembered Meng Xi from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, who had the bloodline of the Nightmare Race, which was ranked 239th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    The unique ability of her Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline was an illusion technique. If one trained the Dao of Illusions to a certain level, they might be able to obtain the strength of one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    "Master." Bi Qingyue''s voice sounded from nearby.


    "What is it?" Zhao Feng could communicate with her directly through the Dark Heart Seal.


    "If Master wants to focus on the Dao of Illusions, you can maybe go the Purple Star Tower of the Ji Family," Bi Qingyue suggested.


    The Ji Family''s Purple Star Tower was extremely famous throughout the continent as a place to cultivate Soul and Illusion techniques. Many disciples of the Ji Family used family contribution points to trade for time in the Purple Star Tower, and she believed that Zhao Feng definitely didn''t know about the Purple Star Tower.


    "Purple Star Tower?" Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He really didn''t know about it.


    Bi Qingyue then told Zhao Feng some information regarding the Purple Star Tower.


    Ji Lan came once more on the morning of the second day; "Zhao Feng, Sacred Lord Star Demon invites you over."


    They arrived in Sacred Lord Star Demon''s private hall and started to learn just like yesterday.


    Ji Lan was very excited. She didn''t expect that she would be able to stay with Zhao Feng again and still read the books here. At the same time, she could guess Sacred Lord Star Demon''s intentions. Ji Lan knew that he was purposefully creating time for them to be alone together.


    Ji Lan smiled bitterly and didn''t disagree. The heart of any female might move due to a peerless genius like Zhao Feng, but she wasn''t confident she could make Zhao Feng like her. Ji Lan was also very surprised at how much importance Sacred Lord Star Demon placed on Zhao Feng.


    The light started to dim, and the room darkened.


    "Senior Star Demon, this junior wishes to read the contents of the bookshelf on the right," Zhao Feng messaged Sacred Lord Star Demon in the next room.


    "Oh?" Sacred Lord Star Demon''s figure instantly appeared next to Zhao Feng with an expectant expression.


    Zhao Feng then gave the Dark Eye Secret Manual that he had already made a copy of to Sacred Lord Star Demon.


    "Dark Eye Secret Manual¡­? The Eyes of Death!" Sacred Lord Star Demon took the book in Zhao Feng''s hand and started to read it.


    "Little Friend Zhao. There''s only some basic knowledge and theories in this book. It might be very useful to the disciples of the Ji Family." Sacred Lord Star Demon gave a faint smile, but his tone was euphemistic.


    Zhao Feng smiled. He didn''t have any hope at all. When he obtained the Dark Eye Secret Manual, he was only at the Small Origin Core Realm. While the Emperor of Death''s mastery of eye-bloodline techniques was very high, it obviously wasn''t as good as the strongest eye-bloodline family in the continent zone.


    It was within Zhao Feng''s expectations that Sacred Lord Star Demon wouldn''t want the Dark Eye Secret Manual. However, Zhao Feng wouldn''t tell him the theory behind the disintegration technique of his God Eye.


    Then how about the Soul Eye Refining Technique? Zhao Feng thought for a moment but didn''t take it out. The Soul Eye Refining Technique was the most precious soul-based eye-stealing technique in the Heaven''s Legacy City. Furthermore, the Soul Eye Refining Technique was forbidden and caused a lot of harm.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng took out the other soul-cultivating technique.


    "Soul Splitting Technique?" Sacred Lord Star Demon was curious as he took the object from Zhao Feng''s hand.


    "Good!" Sacred Lord Star Demon exclaimed, frightening Ji Lan next to him.


    What kind of secret technique can make Sacred Lord Star Demon so excited? Ji Lan''s heart raced, and she admired Zhao Feng even more.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon only closed the book after a long time and spoke with a smile. "Little Friend Zhao has three days of time to read the bookshelf on the right."


    Zhao Feng gave a faint smile. Although there was only one stage in the Soul Splitting Technique and it was wasn''t even complete, the theories and ideas behind this technique were extremely stunning and broke tradition. Even the machines of the Heaven''s Legacy City gave this technique a high rating, and he believed that Sacred Lord Star Demon was someone with good eyes.


    Ji Lan was completely shocked. In her memory, Sacred Lord Star Demon had only let one person ever read the books in the right bookshelf.


    "If Little Friend Zhao wants to improve the Soul Splitting Technique, there might be something you need in there," Sacred Lord Star Demon warned before leaving.


    In a misty grand palace in the Ji Family:


    "Great grandfather, that Zhao Feng attacked me and made me lose all face." Ji Lian knelt in a hall.


    "You''re the one who lost face for the Ji Family." An ancient dreamy voice sounded in the air.


    "Understood. Lian''er knows that he was wrong, but that Zhao Feng-" Ji Lian''s heart jumped as he continued.


    "He is a guest that Star Demon brought here." The old voice interrupted Ji Lian. Ji Lian paused for a moment before disappointment flashed through his eyes, and he didn''t speak anymore.


    "However¡­ the Ji Family supports the Eighth Prince, and Star Demon formed a good relationship with someone behind the Ninth Prince without even telling me¡­?" the old voice sounded once more.

 1001 Samsara Death Eyes

    Chapter 1001 - Samsara Death Eyes


    The arrays on the right bookshelf disappeared, and Zhao Feng walked straight up to it. Although Ji Lan''s heart raced at the sight of the array disappearing, she didn''t dare to touch it without Sacred Lord Star Demon''s permission.


    Zhao Feng took a random book.


    "Analysis of Fire eye-bloodline techniques?"


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. Most of the contents in the bookshelf on the left side were based on the Dao of Illusions, which was helpful to disciples of the Ji Family, who had the Illusion-type Purple Star Eyes.


    On the right shelf were eye-bloodline techniques of every kind, including some extremely rare and obscure ones.


    Zhao Feng flipped through the books and tried to find what he was interested in.


    "Found it¡­ Samsara Death Eyes!"


    There weren''t many books here, and Zhao Feng soon found what he wanted.


    "The Eyes of Samsara contain the laws of Heaven and Earth''s samsara. It can gather the shattered soul of someone dead in the world and give them new life through the Samsara of Death¡­."


    Zhao Feng read this book very carefully.


    The Eyes of Samsara were related to the fundamental laws of Heaven and Earth. The Samsara of Death couldn''t be replicated without the eyes. Therefore, even if one could understand the theory behind the Eyes of Samsara, it was almost impossible for any other eye to use it.


    "To ''revive'' a person, one must first leave a Mark of Samsara on them."


    Zhao Feng understood. Only the souls of those who had a Mark of Samsara on them could have their souls pulled out of the samsara of Heaven and Earth. The power of samsara was everywhere and could move through space, so this process could be completed even if they were several hundred million miles apart.


    This was why the Emperor of Death could still be revived even though he died so far away from the continent zone.


    "Not everyone can be revived through the Eyes of Samsara."


    Zhao Feng''s expression slightly dimmed as he continued reading.


    "The souls that are revived through the Samsara of Death can''t take over any living body and can only exist in the Immortal Samsara Bodies that the Eyes of Samsara create. As the Samsara Immortal Bodies are also created through the Samsara of Death, they cannot die¡­."


    Zhao Feng was stunned as he started to understand. Heaven and Earth had a samsara, and the Eyes of Samsara had access to the laws of Samsara. This basically meant that the Eyes of Samsara had their own individual world contained within them. Everything contained within the Samsara of Death was no longer part of this world anymore. The owner of the Eyes of Samsara was basically the god of samsara.


    "My God Eye seems to have its own world as well." Zhao Feng thought about the Ancient Dream Realm, but he didn''t have control of it. Maybe when his God Eye completely awakened, he would be able to rule over that world.


    The Eye of Death seemed to have a dimension of Death as well, but he wasn''t very sure about its abilities.


    "This means that the Eight Great God Eyes and their descendants all have their own individual worlds," Zhao Feng analyzed after reading about the Eyes of Samsara. He now had a further understanding of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    Zhao Feng finished reading it after a while.


    "The Samsara Death Eyes introduces the Samsara of Death, but it only mentioned one point regarding the Samsara of Life: the Samsara of Life can revive someone within a certain time after their death."


    Zhao Feng was stunned. As expected, the Eyes of Samsara had the ability to bring people back from the dead. However, this didn''t give them new life, it only let them continue existing in a different state.


    "This style seems to be extremely similar to how Liu Qinxin gained new life," Zhao Feng murmured in a soft tone.


    All in all, Zhao Feng finally understood a certain amount about the abilities of the Eyes of Samsara. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhao Feng didn''t want to be enemies with the owner of the Eyes of Samsara.


    After reading through the Samsara Death Eyes, Zhao Feng spent the rest of his time on the other books. The rarity of any book here was around the same level as the Samsara Death Eyes.


    Zhao Feng soon looked at a book in his hand ¨C Soul Recovering Divine Technique.


    Zhao Feng was already completely attracted by the author''s name before he even read the contents.


    "It''s actually the same author who wrote the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Soul Splitting Technique!"


    Zhao Feng finally understood what Sacred Lord Star Demon meant, and he hoped that this book wasn''t incomplete too.


    Zhao Feng then started to read through it.


    "So descriptive!" Zhao Feng exclaimed. This Soul Recovering Divine Technique wasn''t just a cultivation technique; it also contained a lot of theories and notes.


    This technique could condense the soul, but most importantly, it could increase the soul''s recovery speed.


    Souls were just like bodies; they both had a certain recovery speed when they were damaged. However, the soul recovered very slowly; therefore, most people would bring some medicine that could heal the soul with them.


    "This Soul Recovery Divine Technique isn''t very useful." Zhao Feng rated it. Even if he cultivated the Soul Recover Divine Technique to the maximum, its recovery speed was inferior to a lot of soul-healing medicines. Furthermore, the Soul Recovery Divine Technique had a very strict requirement, and even those that specialized in the soul might not be able to reach this requirement.


    However, the last line in this technique attracted Zhao Feng''s attention.


    "If one cultivates the Soul Recovery Divine Technique, it can increase the rate of success with the Soul Splitting Technique."


    Zhao Feng really liked the Soul Splitting Technique, but it was a rather risky technique to learn.


    Zhao Feng also realized that the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique increased the effect of the Soul Recovery Divine Technique.


    "From the looks of it, the Soul Splitting Technique isn''t the one directly after the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique ¨C the Soul Recovery Divine Technique is between them."


    Zhao Feng immediately memorized the contents of the Soul Recovery Divine Technique. Luckily, the grade of this skill wasn''t very high, so Zhao Feng would be able to completely learn it with his level of mastery in the soul.


    "Maybe the author thought of the Soul Splitting Technique first but realized that normal people couldn''t cultivate it, so they decided to create the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Soul Recovery Divine Technique."


    Zhao Feng finally understood how precious the Soul Splitting Technique now was. No wonder the machine in the Heaven''s Legacy City said that the complete Soul Splitting Technique was at least a peak Heaven-grade technique.


    One had to cultivate two foundational skills before the Soul Splitting Technique, and the requirements for both were very high. For example, Duanmu Qing had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts for several thousand years and still hadn''t reached a very high level.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng was about to finish the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, and he was confident that he could finish cultivating the Soul Recovery Divine Technique shortly. Zhao Feng couldn''t help but look at the Soul Splitting Technique in a more positive light.


    "No wonder Sacred Lord Star Demon was so interested in the Soul Splitting Technique. He probably already understands the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to a certain extent, and he already has the Soul Recovery Divine Technique."


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but wonder whether Sacred Lord Star Demon was going to cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique or not.


    Just as Zhao Feng finished memorizing the contents of the Soul Recovery Divine Technique, Sacred Lord Star Demon''s voice sounded, "From the looks of it, Little Friend has gained a lot today. You can come back tomorrow."


    Ji Lan glanced at the bookshelf with extreme desire.


    Zhao Feng put the book in his hand down and spoke humbly, "I heard that the Ji Family''s Purple Star Tower is extremely famous and can drastically help one''s illusion techniques and refinement of the soul."


    "Hehe, okay then, I''ll give you a Purple Star Token."


    A purple token with a hexagram inscribed on it floated before Zhao Feng.


    "Purple Star Token!" Ji Lan was surprised. One had to know that the members of the Ji Family had to spend a large quantity of family contribution points to be able to enter the Purple Star Tower, and their time was limited as well.


    The Purple Star Token was usually rewarded when a member of the family made very big contributions, or it was given out as the top reward for competitions within the family. Although the Purple Star Token only allowed the user to enter the Purple Star Tower once, there was no time limit.


    "Thank you, Senior." Zhao Feng bowed slightly as he took the token, then left Sacred Lord Star Demon''s private hall with Ji Lan.


    Zhao Feng started to cultivate the Soul Recovery Divine Technique alongside the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique at night.


    "It can increase the recovery speed of the soul. Basically, it''s just like a body-strengthening technique for the soul."


    Zhao Feng estimated that he only needed a couple more months to reach the peak of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. Since this was the first time Zhao Feng was cultivating the Soul Recovery Divine Technique, his progress was very fast; he reached the third level in just one night.


    After cultivating the Soul Recovery Divine Technique, Zhao Feng found that his Lightning Soul Body now had an indescribable agility.


    Ji Lan arrived like usual the next morning.


    "Zhao Feng, let me take you to the Purple Star Tower."


    Technically, she kept coming to guide Zhao Feng because of Sacred Lord Star Demon''s orders, but Ji Lan didn''t mind. Because of Zhao Feng, she had already been allowed to enter Sacred Lord Star Demon''s private hall and read there for two days. Unfortunately, she had only memorized fewer than ten books.


    "Let''s go." Zhao Feng walked out of his room.


    The Purple Star Tower was the most famous area for cultivation in the Ji Family. It was precisely because of the Purple Star Tower that the members of the Ji Family were so outstanding and had such a strong foundation in terms of the soul and the Dao of Illusions.


    Some of the forces in the outside world would spend a large amount of resources to buy the right to enter the Purple Star Tower. This was also why some families were still able to be included within the Eight Big Families even though they weren''t as strong as they used to be. The Eight Big Families all had their own skills and special areas, and they formed good bonds with other forces.


    The Purple Star Tower was at the very center of the Ji Family, and it had many more members there. The news of Zhao Feng''s arrival had also spread yesterday.


    "Look, it''s Zhao Feng!"


    "Ji Lan hasn''t really fallen in love with Zhao Feng, right?"


    "Impossible! From my point of view, Ji Lian will definitely come to trouble Zhao Feng."


    Disciples discussed with one another.


    The senses of experts that specialized in the Dao of the Soul were obviously very strong, and Ji Lan''s face went slightly red as she heard all of this. Ji Lan couldn''t help but think that Zhao Feng was indeed much better than Ji Lian.


    "Elder, we want to enter the Purple Star Tower," Ji Lan said to the elders responsible for the Purple Star Tower. At the same time, Zhao Feng took out the Purple Star Token.


    "Eh? Purple Star Token?" An elder looked at Zhao Feng in surprise. Only a few members of the upper echelon had the right to give Purple Star Tokens.


    "You two can go in now."


    They walked into the Purple Star Tower, but Ji Lan needed to pay contribution points.


    Their sight became blurry after entering the Purple Star Tower. There was only thick purple mist ahead of them, and across the first floor, there would be a futon on the ground with a disciple sitting on it. Almost all of the futons on the first floor were taken by disciples of the Ji Family who were at the True Spirit Realm.

 1002 Forbidden Illusion Lost World

    Chapter 1002 ¨C Forbidden Illusion Lost World


    Close to where Zhao Feng was staying:


    "Ji Lian, that brat has gone to the Purple Star Tower." One of Ji Lian''s cronies ran to him.


    Ji Lian''s eyebrows furrowed together. From the looks of it, Sacred Lord Star Demon placed a lot of importance on Zhao Feng; he even gave him the right to use the Purple Star Tower?


    "We''ll just wait for him outside the Purple Star Tower," a middle-aged male in black clothes next to Ji Lian said as his eyes sparkled.


    "Also, Ji Lan seems to have gone with Zhao Feng," the crony said in a small voice.


    Ji Lian''s eyebrows instantly locked together as anger burned through his heart


    "Let''s go!" Ji Lian lashed out with his arm and roared in a low tone. He had never felt such humiliation in the Ji Family before. He obviously wouldn''t let go of Zhao Feng so easily.


    Ji Lian''s great grandfather wouldn''t take action against a junior over such a minor matter. Furthermore, Zhao Feng was Sacred Lord Star Demon''s guest.


    However, Ji Lian''s great grandfather had his second disciple, Ji Chengming, follow Ji Lian. Ji Chengming''s fame was only below that of Ji Dengtian, who was a Quasi-Sacred Lord expert.


    Ji Lian didn''t believe that he wouldn''t be able to teach Zhao Feng a lesson this time.


    "Ji Chengming, don''t injure him too heavily." Ji Lian revealed an evil smile.


    Last time, Zhao Feng made him lose face in front of Ji Lan. This time, he would make Zhao Feng end up in an even worse state, or else how would Ji Lan leave Zhao Feng?


    Within the Purple Star Tower, Zhao Feng and Ji Lan slowly walked forward together.


    The first floor of the Purple Star Tower was full of True Spirit Realm disciples. Zhao Feng found that there was an extremely profound array around each futon with the inspection of his left eye.


    "Any spot in the Purple Star Tower has a spatial dimension that cuts it off from the outside world," Ji Lan explained to Zhao Feng, and the latter nodded. If there was no spatial dimension here, then there would be no point cultivating here instead of anywhere else.


    On the second floor of the Purple Star Tower, there were still many people here, and they were mainly disciples of the Ji Family at the Small Origin Core Realm.


    Zhao Feng and Ji Lan soon arrived at the seventh floor. The purple mist in front of them was like water as it filled the entire dimension.


    There was a total of ten futons on the seventh floor, and six of them were already taken up. Zhao Feng was extremely familiar with one of them ¨C Ji Dengtian.


    "The seventh floor of the Purple Star Tower is most suitable for Void God Realm Emperors," Ji Lan said, then arrived at a futon.


    Although her strength had already surpassed normal Emperors, the eighth floor was for Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords. Unless Ji Lan''s soul reached the level of a Sacred Lord, she wouldn''t be able to last even one breath on the eighth floor.


    Everyone that entered the Purple Star Tower knew this principle. The thick purple mist in the air had the effect of causing illusions and hallucinations, and the effect on each floor was stronger than the last. The eighth floor was somewhere that could make even Sacred Lord experts fall into illusions. A measly Emperor obviously wouldn''t dare to go up.


    Zhao Feng didn''t speak, he just found a futon. He wanted to try it out here first.


    The instant Zhao Feng sat on the futon, the scenery around him completely changed. Limitless purple mist moved around and started to warp. He couldn''t see anyone else.


    "This purple mist seems to be the power of my own soul and is controlled by my Soul Intent."


    Zhao Feng instantly sensed what was unique about the Purple Star Tower.


    Hu~~ Hu~~


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent soon started to control the mist nearby, and a purple maze palace filled with lightning and wind soon formed around Zhao Feng.


    "This is a perfect place for Dao of Illusion experts to recreate their domain and their Little World." Zhao Feng praised.


    This place could materialize one''s soul power, which was very beneficial for those who were trying to form domains or find flaws in their domains.


    At the same time, he could feel that the mist within the futon had a powerful effect on the soul. Although this mist created illusions and put pressure on his mental energy, it was indeed useful for refining the soul.


    Zhao Feng first improved his Illusion Domain because, if it was possible, Zhao Feng was planning to transform the Illusion Domain into another Little World.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng started to cultivate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Soul Recovery Divine Technique. Since Zhao Feng was about to finish the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, his cultivation speed in the Soul Recovery Divine Technique was extremely fast.


    He would be able to test the Soul Splitting Technique soon.


    Why did Zhao Feng want to test out such a dangerous soul technique that only had one level?


    There were three reasons:


    The first was that the machines of the Heaven''s Legacy Race had given the Soul Splitting Technique a very high rating, and since Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye specialized in analysis, he would be able to decipher it no matter how difficult it was. He was perfect for it.


    Secondly, the benefits he had received from the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique alone couldn''t be doubted. Then how strong would the Soul Splitting Technique be if the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was just a foundational technique to prepare for it?


    Thirdly, the cultivation style of the Soul Spitting Technique completely attracted Zhao Feng, and the problem of Zhao Feng''s God Eye repelling the Eye of Death could be resolved. This meant that, if Zhao Feng cultivated the Soul Splitting Technique and managed to succeed, he could put the Eye of Death into the split-off soul body.


    Zhao Feng didn''t believe that the new soul would also contain the God''s Spiritual Eye. He believed that his God''s Spiritual Eye was the same as the other Eight Great God Eyes ¨C it was the only one that existed in the world.


    Time passed by slowly, and noon arrived. Ji Lan left her futon and saw Zhao Feng was still cultivating with his eyes closed.


    "Zhao Feng''s soul has probably reached the level of a Sacred Lord. There''s no problem with him cultivating here for several days." Ji Lan sighed.


    She took out some herbs that cleansed the soul and ate them before returning to her futon. Ji Lan didn''t realize that Zhao Feng''s cultivation speed was much faster than before.


    On the second day, Ji Lan went to the sixth floor and rested for a while before coming back to the seventh floor. Zhao Feng was in the same state as before and didn''t move at all.


    "My Illusion Maze Domain is almost perfect." Zhao Feng was very satisfied.


    The stronger one''s domain was, the more convenient and powerful the Little World would be.


    At the same time, after cultivating here for two days, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lord-level soul had become purer and more refined.


    On top of that, some illusion techniques that Zhao Feng thought of were starting to take shape. He combined the Eye of Illusion and the Purple Star Chaos together to form the "Forbidden Illusion Lost World."


    The Forbidden Illusion Lost World would pull the enemy into the illusionary world that Zhao Feng created, then cut off all their senses so that the enemy would feel like everything around them was real.


    At this point in time, if he used the Forbidden Illusion Lost World against Ji Lian, he could trap Ji Lian in a world of illusions for several dozen years with just one glance.


    Ji Lan was finally unable to continue on the third day. If she stayed in the Purple Star Tower, it would only cause unrecoverable damage to her soul.


    Zhao Feng suddenly opened his eyes as well and got up from the futon.


    "How is it? It''s about time to leave, right?" Ji Lan smiled and said. She believed that Zhao Feng had definitely experienced how unique the Purple Star Tower was. Since this was his first time entering, he probably couldn''t adapt to it and couldn''t stay here for long.


    "You can leave first," Zhao Feng said as he continued to walk forward.


    "What are you doing to do? That''s¡­ the entrance to the eighth floor!" Ji Lan''s expression turned to shock.


    Zhao Feng had stayed on the 7th floor for three days and was now planning to go to the 8th floor? One had to know that the members of the Ji Family would only enter the higher floors in their best condition in order to stay there longer.


    "Zhao Feng probably just wants to have a look at the 8th floor." Ji Lan smiled. After all, when Zhao Feng left, he wouldn''t have a chance to enter the Purple Star Tower anymore.


    There were many arrays outside the entrance to the 8th floor, but they weren''t here to stop people from entering. Instead, they were used to separate the thick purple mist.


    Zhao Feng passed through the array and entered the 8th floor.


    If Zhao Feng could see five feet in front of him on the 7th floor, then Zhao Feng could only see one foot ahead of him on the 8th floor. Even if he used the transparency ability of his left eye, he couldn''t see through the entire floor.


    The scenery ahead of Zhao Feng instantly started to become chaotic, as if a bunch of desolate and fierce beasts were hidden in the mist.


    "As expected, it is not simple."


    Zhao Feng was very excited and circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and his Sacred Lord Soul Intent. Everything ahead of him instantly returned to normal as it turned into an ocean of purple mist.


    The reason Zhao Feng dared to enter the 8th floor was because he noticed that cultivating the Soul Recovery Divine Technique was very easy in the Purple Star Tower. Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had reached the level of a Sacred Lord a long time ago, so the 8th floor would be more useful for him.


    Zhao Feng found a futon and sat down.


    At this moment, Ji Lian and Ji Chengming outside the Purple Star Tower were becoming impatient now. The other members of the Ji Family that were planning to watch a good show also started to leave.


    A light suddenly flashed on the 8th floor of the Purple Star Tower. The hearts of the nearby disciples instantly shook as they stopped their footsteps.


    There were only nine floors in the Purple Star Tower, and each floor would only light up if there was a disciple cultivating there. Now that there was a faint light coming from the 8th floor, that meant there was someone cultivating there.


    However, that was the 8th floor ¨C a place where Sacred Lords cultivated.


    "The 8th floor lit up!"


    "Could it be that the soul of some genius of the Ji Family has reached the level of a Sacred Lord?"


    "I know Ji Dengtian is still inside. Could it be him?"


    The nearby members of the Ji Family discussed with each another. They knew that no Sacred Lord had entered the Purple Star Tower, so they guessed that some expert cultivating on the 7th floor broke through and managed to reach the 8th floor. Being the strongest Quasi-Sacred Lord of the Ji Family, Ji Dengtian was the most likely person.


    "What? Ji Dengtian!?"


    Ji Chengming''s expression became grim. Ji Dengtian was indeed a bit stronger than him, or else the spot to enter the Crown Prince trial would have been his instead.


    Ji Dengtian most likely obtained some sort of fortune from the Crown Prince trial, and after cultivating for a little bit, he managed to form Sacred Lord Intent. This infuriated Ji Chengming.


    Luckily, no one could confirm whether Ji Dengtian actually broke through or whether he just forcefully entered the 8th floor. Maybe the light on the 8th floor would fade away very soon.


    "Ji Lan?" Ji Lian revealed a faint smile and became very excited.


    "Where''s Zhao Feng?" Ji Lian soon found that something was wrong. Zhao Feng didn''t come out with Ji Lan?


    "He''s still inside," Ji Lan replied simply as she walked to the side. Ji Lan knew what they were here for as soon as she saw Ji Lian and Ji Chengming.


    "Dammit, this Zhao Feng¡­!" Ji Lian''s eyes burned with anger. He could tell that Ji Lan was planning to wait for Zhao Feng to come out.

 1003 Reaching the Peak of the Technique

    Chapter 1003 ¨C Reaching the Peak of the Technique


    Ji Lan had waited on the 7th floor of the Purple Star Tower for a long time before understanding that Zhao Feng hadn''t gone to the 8th floor just to look around and was instead actually cultivating there.


    Under normal situations, it would''ve been decent if Zhao Feng could last on the 8th floor for six hours. One had to know that the Sacred Lord elders of the Ji Family could only last sixteen hours when they entered the 8th floor in their best state, and Zhao Feng had already stayed on the 7th floor for three days.


    Zhao Feng was the only person on the 8th floor. The world around Zhao Feng was full of purple mist that was as heavy as mud. When Zhao Feng turned the mist into his Illusion Maze Domain, he seemed to be able to see what his Illusion Maze Domain would look like after turning it into a Little World.


    With Zhao Feng''s analysis capabilities and the help of the Purple Star Tower, Zhao Feng instantly understood how to create his Little World of Illusions. After all, he already had experience creating a Little World.


    "I''ve also reached the 5th level of the Soul Recovery Divine Technique."


    Zhao Feng could feel his insane cultivation speed. The technique had a total of ten levels, the first three of which were foundational levels ¨C which Zhao Feng managed to complete in just one night. With the help of the Purple Star Tower, Zhao Feng used another three days to reach the 5th level.


    Cultivating the Soul Recovery Divine Technique on the 8th floor of the Purple Star Tower was very fast. Of course, it also helped to have the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, which was about to reach its peak. After all, it was the technique that preceded the Soul Recovery Divine Technique.


    While Zhao Feng cultivated those two techniques at once, he also split out another part of his consciousness to understand some of the contents within Sacred Lord Star Demon''s books. The books from the right bookshelf contained a vast amount of knowledge regarding eye-bloodline techniques, some of which Zhao Feng hadn''t even heard of.


    These books were very useful for Zhao Feng''s foundation, and they expanded his knowledge. In the future, he could improve his techniques and maybe even create one himself.


    Six hours later, Zhao Feng''s mind started to become chaotic. Zhao Feng immediately used the Soul Recovery Divine Technique that he only started cultivating very recently. The Soul Recovery Divine Technique was basically a body-strengthening technique for the soul.


    Zhao Feng''s soul immediately became more active and powerful after he circulated the Soul Recovery Divine Technique. Such effectiveness gave Zhao Feng a fright.


    "Looks like I underestimated how useful the Soul Recovery Divine Technique is," Zhao Feng murmured. With the increased activity of his soul, the 8th floor''s erosive power against him decreased.


    Ten hours later, discussion had broken out outside the Purple Star Tower.


    "They''ve managed to last ten hours!"


    "The soul of someone that only just reached the level of a Sacred Lord can last so long on the 8th floor?"


    "Could it be that Ji Dengtian obtained some sort of soul-type secret treasure in the Imperial Tombs?"


    The members of the Ji Family guessed.


    "Ji Dengtian¡­!" Ji Chengming''s expression was grim and full of anger. Although he had lost to Ji Dengtian in the fights for the positions during the Crown Prince trial, Ji Chengming was determined to surpass Ji Dengtian. However, Ji Dengtian managed to last ten hours on the 8th floor of the Purple Star Tower, which made him lose all confidence.


    Just as everyone was discussing, Ji Dengtian walked out from the entrance of the Purple Star Demon.


    "What''s going on? Why are there so many people here?" Ji Dengtian paused for a moment and then followed everyone else''s gaze.


    "It''s not that rare for someone to be on the 8th floor, right?" Ji Dengtian was somewhat speechless.


    When the disciples outside the Purple Star Tower saw Ji Dengtian walk out, their mouths instantly fell wide open.


    "Ji Dengtian, weren''t you on the 8th floor? Why did you come out? But¡­ the 8th floor is still lit up¡­." Ji Lian said in shock and started screaming in his heart when he saw that the light on the 8th floor hadn''t faded yet.


    "I didn''t enter the 8th floor. Although I can, I wouldn''t even be able to last the time it takes to make one cup of tea." Ji Dengtian shook his head. He still had to put in more effort to last on the 8th floor.


    Hearing Ji Dengtian''s reply, everyone present started to become excited once more.


    "It''s not Ji Dengtian? Then who else could be on the 8th floor?"


    "As far as I remember, no one else on the 7th floor has the ability."


    Ji Dengtian became curious as well when he heard what everyone was saying. No Sacred Lord expert had entered the Purple Star Tower during the last couple of days, but the 8th floor of the Purple Star Tower had lit up for some reason.


    Who was on the 8th floor? Everyone couldn''t help but become more curious.


    Ji Lan laughed secretly by herself behind all the other spectating disciples. She obviously wouldn''t tell them that Zhao Feng was the one on the 8th floor.


    At this moment, two old figures with purple hair stood in Sacred Lord Star Demon''s hall.


    "Star Demon, you said that the Eighth Prince chose to stand on the Ninth Prince''s side?" An elder in purple was surprised. He wasn''t just surprised by this; he didn''t expect the Ninth Prince to become the Crown Prince in the first place.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon was just talking about the important issues that happened in the Crown Prince trial.


    "Do I need to lie to you?" Sacred Lord Star Demon smiled.


    "That Zhao Feng is indeed not simple. He even entered the 8th floor of the Purple Star Tower," the elder in purple said in a low tone. Even now, he was still suspicious about how the Ninth Prince managed to turn the tide with just one Emperor and become the Crown Prince.


    "It''s already been 10 hours. Can he last 16 hours?" The elder in purple was hopeful.


    "Hehe, his soul isn''t weaker than normal Sacred Lords," Sacred Lord Star Demon said with a smile. He had interacted with Zhao Feng many times and knew a bit about him.


    "You mean that he can last longer than 16 hours?" The elder in purple was surprised once again.


    "Let''s have a bet. If he can last more than 20 hours, you give me the eye-bloodline technique book you got last time." Sacred Lord Star Demon''s eyes turned as his tone became cunning.


    "Okay, and if you lose then you give me what you got from Zhao Feng." The elder in purple agreed after hesitating for a moment.


    According to what the elder in purple knew, this was Zhao Feng''s first time in the purple Star Tower, and he stayed on the 7th floor for three days before entering the 8th. Only people at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm could last more than 20 hours. This was why he dared to make this bet.


    Furthermore, since Zhao Feng was able to browse Sacred Lord Star Demon''s right bookshelf, he must have given Sacred Lord Star Demon something that made his heart move.


    "Then what if he can last longer or even enter the 9th floor?" Sacred Lord Star Demon suddenly thought of something and laughed.


    "Haha, Star Demon, you''re getting old. If he can enter the 9th floor, you can be in charge of the Ji Family." The elder in purple couldn''t help but smile. One had to know that the lowest requirement to enter the 9th floor was to be a Sacred King, and no one from the Ji Family had entered the 9th floor for almost ten thousand years. Even the elder in purple didn''t know what the 9th floor was like.


    "Okay. You''re the Grand Elder of the Ji Family; what you say counts."


    Zhao Feng stayed on the 8th floor for twelve hours now, and his mind started to become chaotic once again. It was useless even if he circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Soul Recovery Divine Technique.


    "The Purple Star Tower isn''t very helpful for cultivating the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique." Zhao Feng sighed. He was just one step away from reaching the peak of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. Although it was just one step, this step was the most difficult.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll have to use a unique method." Zhao Feng decided. He took out many soul-purifying treasures from the Misty Spatial World and ate them. Zhao Feng''s mind instantly became clear again, and he started to completely circulate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    One thought into six thousand¡­ seven thousand¡­ eight thousand¡­ nine thousand!


    Zhao Feng split his thoughts up and made them multi-task. At the same time, Zhao Feng cultivated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, absorbed the power of God Tribulation Lightning from the Demigod head, refined his Sacred Lightning Body, cultivated a bunch of battle techniques and eye-bloodline techniques, and read through several thousand books in his memory.


    Zhao Feng had never split his thoughts completely and used them to their fullest extent before.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng felt as if his head was about to split apart, but luckily, surges of unique Soul energy appeared from the treasures he just ate, which stopped the erosion of the purple mist and helped heal his soul.


    The soul treasures he ate were absorbed very quickly since he was using so much energy. Soon, the energy of the soul treasures he ate were completely absorbed, and the scenery around Zhao Feng started to change.


    However, at a certain moment, Zhao Feng''s consciousness became clear, and the uncomfortableness in his soul completely disappeared. At this instant, the world around Zhao Feng became normal once more.


    "I''ve reached the peak of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, and my Soul Intent is getting close to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm."


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. He didn''t expect that the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, which he first got from Master Duanmu Qing back in the True Martial Sacred Land, would allow Zhao Feng to cultivate his Soul Intent to such a level. This proved how valuable the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique was.


    After reaching the peak of the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, Zhao Feng focused more on the Soul Recovery Divine Technique. He could feel that his cultivation speed had increased even more.


    Furthermore, the improvement in his Soul Intent meant that his resistance against the 8th floor would be stronger. This meant that Zhao Feng could last longer on this floor.


    Chaos broke out outside the Purple Star Tower.


    "It''s been sixteen hours, but the 8th floor is still lit up!"


    "This is impossible. Is there something wrong with the Purple Star Tower?"


    "Maybe there''s no one on the 8th floor. Something might have gone wrong with the Purple Star Tower."


    Those outside didn''t believe that someone could last this long on the 8th floor if their soul had only just reached the level of a Sacred Lord.


    "Ji Dengtian, do you know who it is?" Ji Chengming asked.


    Ji Dengtian instantly thought back to the others that were still on the 7th floor. He knew all of them, and everyone was still there when he left.


    "I''m not sure. No one from the 7th floor should be able to enter the 8th floor," Ji Dengtian said with a grim expression.


    "This isn''t possible." Even Ji Lan couldn''t believe it. Did something happen to Zhao Feng? How could someone stay in there for so long?


    The chaos outside the Purple Star Tower also raised the attention of some Sacred Lords, but they didn''t enter. They chose to wait outside for this surprise.


    The sky started to brighten. Twenty hours had passed, but there was still a purple glow form the 8th floor.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes within the Purple Star Tower. Even though he had cultivated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to the maximum, he couldn''t last so long on the 8th floor with just that.


    Luckily, the power of God Tribulation Lightning in his Lightning Soul Body could get rid of the purple mist eroding his soul. However, this wasn''t a long-term plan because the rate of his God Tribulation Lightning''s recovery wasn''t as fast as the expenditure.


    Zhao Feng only had 50% of the God Tribulation Lightning symbols left in his soul at the moment.


    "I can still last a while."


    Zhao Feng didn''t want to waste this chance. The Purple Star Token only allowed him to enter once.


    "I wonder what it''s like on the 9th floor." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be curious.


    If he took out all his skill and the full power of the God Tribulation Lightning, he might be able to enter the 9th floor. However, if he failed, Zhao Feng might have to leave the tower immediately.


    Zhao Feng finally made a decision after thinking about it.


    "Let me witness the 9th floor of the Purple Star Tower."

 1004 The 9th Floor

    Chapter 1004 - The 9th Floor


    "It''s already been over twenty hours." Sacred Lord Star Demon had an excited expression.


    He was originally only 50% sure that Zhao Feng would be able to do this. He didn''t really expect Zhao Feng to actually last this long on the 8th floor. This meant that Sacred Lord Star Demon had won the bet with the elder in purple.


    "This brat''s mastery of the soul is at such a high level?" The elder in purple was stunned.


    It was just an eye-bloodline technique book, and he was fine giving it to Sacred Lord Star Demon. The critical point was that they both suddenly realized how much potential Zhao Feng had. Forming a good relationship with a prodigy like this only brought benefits to the Ji Family.


    Luckily, he didn''t attack this junior for Ji Lian''s sake, and he had his second disciple Ji Chengming follow Ji Lian, so there wouldn''t be any problems.


    "Don''t forget what you said." Sacred Lord Star Demon warned as he looked into the distance.


    "You really think that he''ll be able to enter the 9th floor?" The elder in purple couldn''t help but smile. He wouldn''t believe Zhao Feng could enter the 9th floor even if he was killed. While he and Sacred Lord Star Demon were both Grand Elders of the Ji Family, he had the true power over the Ji Family.


    Outside the Purple Star Tower:


    "It''s already been twenty hours."


    "Even if someone''s Soul Intent really did break through to the level of a Sacred Lord, they wouldn''t be able to stay in there for so long."


    "I''ll go have a look." Ji Dengtian finally couldn''t suppress the curiosity in his heart. He didn''t know when a prodigy like this had appeared in the Ji Family.


    After saying that, Ji Dengtian spent a bunch of contribution points to enter the Purple Star Tower again.


    "We just need to wait here for Zhao Feng," JI Chengming said in a low tone. He had spent all his family contribution points already when Ji Dengtian participated in the Crown Prince trial, so he couldn''t enter even if he wanted to.


    "Okay. We can''t let Zhao Feng run away." Ji Lian agreed.


    The other disciples outside the Purple Star Tower also chose to stay. After all, it wasn''t worth spending all their contribution points just to see who it was when that person was bound to come out eventually.


    Within the Purple Star Tower, Zhao Feng reached the entrance to the 9th floor and walked forward a couple steps.


    "Above me is within range of the 9th floor."


    Zhao Feng looked up. The thick purple mist had piled into the air like mud. A line of words was carved onto the wall on the side of the walkway.


    "Those whose cultivation isn''t high enough might lose their consciousness instantly and be unable to come back down."


    From the looks of it, it wasn''t just Zhao Feng that was curious, so they had to put a warning.


    Boom! Hu~


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent suddenly charged out, and the nearby purple mist was instantly pushed aside. At the same time, Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and controlled his power even more precisely, blocking the purple mist from getting close to him. The Soul Recovery Divine Technique also dramatically increased Zhao Feng''s soul defense and resilience against the purple mist.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng entered the 9th floor, and limitless purple mist instantly crushed toward Zhao Feng as if it wanted to drown him.


    Within half a breath, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had been crushed and warped out of shape.


    "Futon!" Zhao Feng moved toward the futon closest to him.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was crushed back into his soul, and the purple mist instantly flooded toward his soul.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated the God Tribulation Lightning within his Lightning Soul Body. More than a thousand symbols instantly blinked and released the power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    Boom! Shu~~ Shu~~


    A lot of the purple mist that squeezed onto the surface of Zhao Feng''s soul was instantly destroyed by the power of God Tribulation Lightning. The pressure on Zhao Feng was reduced, and he took another step.


    Weng~~


    A faint golden light spread through Zhao Feng''s left eye. After using the Light of Transparency and Dispersion, Zhao Feng''s sight became clear and could see through everything. This allowed him to maintain a conscious state.


    The distance between Zhao Feng and the futon closest to him was getting shorter.


    "Hmm? I might be able to disperse this purple mist." Zhao Feng had a sudden thought, but there was just too much purple mist on the 9th floor. It seemed to materialize and move across the entire dimension. Furthermore, the structure of the purple mist''s atoms was very complex. Dispersing it wasn''t very realistic.


    "But perhaps I can use another method to disperse it¡­"


    Zhao Feng had a thought pop up in his head. In the past, Zhao Feng used his disintegration ability as a line, but it wasn''t limited to just that. It was like any other technique; the main point was how the user utilized it.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly released a faint golden ripple that spun in the air and then formed a faint golden barrier around Zhao Feng.


    Hu~~


    Part of the purple mist that passed through the faint golden barrier was dispersed, reducing its power.


    Bam! Bam!


    Zhao Feng suddenly charged forward another two steps and stood directly on the futon.


    A faint purple light instantly glimmered from the 9th floor. However, because Zhao Feng stepped onto the futon, that meant that he was now considered to be cultivating, so the force of the purple mist increased.


    "Hold on!"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye glittered with a golden color as a ripple of gold light appeared and surrounded Zhao Feng. Countless symbols of God Tribulation Lightning in Zhao Feng''s soul shook and completely released the power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng used all his hidden cards, and he used them to their limit.


    Boom!


    The faint golden barrier around Zhao Feng''s body disappeared, and the symbols of God Tribulation Lightning within his Lightning Soul Body started to fade away. The Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and Soul Recovery Divine Technique also became useless.


    Zhao Feng only managed to stand on the futon for three breaths.


    "Leave!"


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness was still clear. Although he could last one more breath, he would lose resistance afterward and might be unable to go down anymore.


    Zhao Feng released a surge of Wind Lightning True Yuan and instantly charged toward the entrance and back onto the 8th floor.


    However, because Zhao Feng had reached the limit in every aspect, he had no ability left to resist the purple mist. Therefore, his consciousness started to become blurry even after touching the purple mist of the 8th floor.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng quickly flew through the 8th floor and charged down the stairs to the 7th floor of the Purple Star Tower. The 7th floor was most suitable for Emperors to cultivate in.


    Zhao Feng finally let out a breath after reaching the 7th floor. As long as he had a single wisp of Soul Intent remaining, that was enough for him to stay here safely.


    "Zhao Feng?" Ji Dengtian saw Zhao Feng charge out from the 8th floor and was immediately dazed.


    It wasn''t a disciple of the Ji Family, it was Zhao Feng cultivating on the 8th floor.


    Zhao Feng didn''t care about Ji Dengtian. Zhao Feng ate some precious Soul materials, then started to use the Soul Recovery Divine Technique to recover the injuries to his soul.


    Peak 6th level of the Soul Recovery Divine Technique. Zhao Feng couldn''t help but reveal a faint smile. From the looks of it, it was worth entering the 9th floor.


    "Zhao Feng, I didn''t expect you to be able to stay on the 8th floor for so long," Ji Dengtian finally spoke.


    If it was Zhao Feng cultivating on the 8th floor, everything became understandable. Zhao Feng''s display during the Crown Prince trial had been stunning, so Ji Dengtian wasn''t very shocked by what Zhao Feng could do here.


    "En, the Purple Star Tower of the Ji Family indeed lives up to its name." Zhao Feng praised. Unfortunately, he could only use the Purple Star Token once.


    "Zhao Feng, go back and rest. Staying on the 8th floor for so long on your first try has already easily surpassed normal Sacred Lords."


    Ji Dengtian could see how weak Zhao Feng was. If Zhao Feng came down from the 8th floor and was perfectly fine, then there would be something wrong.


    "En."


    Zhao Feng slowly absorbed the energy of the medicine and circulated the Soul Recovery Divine Technique while slowly leaving the Purple Star Tower. Ji Dengtian chose to stay on the 7th floor; after all, he already expended a lot of family contribution points to enter, so it would be a waste to leave now.


    Outside the Purple Star Tower:


    "Are my eyes okay? Did the light on the 9th floor of the Purple Star Tower light up?"


    "How is that possible? Someone from the Ji Family can cultivate on the 9th floor?"


    "Is there something wrong with the Purple Star Tower?"


    The spectators were dazed for a long time before starting to discuss with one another.


    One had to know that the 9th floor of the Purple Star Tower was a place where Sacred Kings cultivated. The 9th floor of the Purple Star Tower hadn''t lit up for ten thousand years, but it blinked for an instant just now. Although it was just an instant, the shock that it brought surpassed the twenty hours on the 8th floor.


    "This¡­ should we go tell my great grandfather?" Ji Lian started to realize that this issue was probably not simple.


    It was at this moment that Zhao Feng appeared next to the entrance to the Purple Star Tower.


    "Ji Chengming, that''s Zhao Feng!" Ji Lian immediately threw everything he was just thinking about to the back of his mind.


    "Hehe, a measly Emperor managed to become so weak after entering the Purple Star Tower for the first time?" Ji Chengming couldn''t help but snicker as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, I can''t believe you managed to hide in the Purple Star Tower for so long." Ji Lian immediately stepped forward and revealed a fierce look. With Ji Chengming helping him, he didn''t believe that he couldn''t take care of Zhao Feng.


    Ji Lan woke up from her shock after seeing Zhao Feng. Although she didn''t believe it, she knew that Zhao Feng was the only person who could possibly have entered the 9th floor of the Purple Star Tower. From Zhao Feng''s current appearance, he seemed to be extremely weak, which would make sense if he had entered the 9th floor. Would Zhao Feng still be Ji Chengming''s match right now?


    The nearby disciples of Ji Family immediately crowded over. They had waited for a long time and still didn''t know who was cultivating on the 8th floor, so this was pretty good entertainment to pass the time.


    "Zhao Feng, if you can take three blows from me, I''ll let you go." Ji Chengming looked down from above and spoke in a disdainful tone. He didn''t want to be known for bullying the young, so he spoke these words.


    Although it was only three moves, Ji Chengming would use his full power, which would be enough to make Zhao Feng wish for death instead.


    "Fuck off, I''m busy." Zhao Feng looked at the two aggressors impatiently. He just got out of the Purple Star Tower and needed to get some rest. He had no time for this.


    "Hmph, you''re going to refuse a toast for a forfeit?" Ji Chengming had a fierce expression. He didn''t expect this junior to be so cold, arrogant, and disrespectful to him.


    Weng~~


    Ji Chengming''s eyes suddenly blinked with a purple light. However, the next second, Zhao Feng''s golden eye scanned over them and released a stunning surge of Eye Intent, which then immediately disappeared.


    Si~~


    Everything around the Purple Star Tower became dead-silent. In the instant just now, the Eye Intent that Zhao Feng released made their eye-bloodlines tremble, and their souls felt as if a mountain was crushing onto them.


    Ji Lian and Ji Chengming became dazed. Their eyes dimmed as they fell into an illusion.

 1005 Rescue

    Chapter 1005 - Rescue


    Zhao Feng didn''t just cultivate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Soul Recovery Divine Technique in the Purple Star Tower; his Dao of Illusions had also progressed. Although his soul was severely damaged and his Soul Intent hadn''t fully recovered yet, it was enough to take care of these two people.


    Zhao Feng circulated some of the Soul Intent that he just recovered a moment ago and used a simplified version of the Forbidden Illusion Lost World to make them fall into a world of illusions.


    "Zhao Feng, you¡­?" Ji Lan went forward with shock and didn''t know what to say.


    Her mind was somewhat blank. Anyone could feel how weak Zhao Feng currently was, but he managed to deal with Ji Chengming with just one glance even in his current situation?


    "I won''t be going to Senior Star Demon''s today," Zhao Feng said as he quickly returned to where he was staying.


    Ji Lan paused for a moment before stomping her feet. Although she was only allowed to read Sacred Lord Star Demon''s books if Zhao Feng went with her, she didn''t stay behind because she wanted to read Sacred Lord Star Demon''s private collection.


    "Ji Lian, Ji Chengming, what happened to you?"


    Many disciples came forward after Zhao Feng left and looked at these two people that tried to harass Zhao Feng.


    "They''re stuck in an illusion, but most illusion-resolving techniques are of no use." An Emperor tried many methods, but they were completely ineffective on them.


    Ji Chengming eventually showed signs of struggling, then he fully awakened. Ji Lian was still just standing there idiotically.


    "Ji Lian."


    Ji Chengming instantly put his Soul Intent into Ji Lian''s soul and awakened him.


    "That Zhao Feng¡­!"


    Ji Lian shook after he woke up. Although this was the second time that Ji Lian had faced Zhao Feng''s illusions, the Soul Intent Zhao Feng released this time completely stunned him.


    On the other hand, Ji Chengming was full of fear. If Zhao Feng could easily deal with them even after in such a weak state, it was hard to imagine how strong Zhao Feng was in his complete state.


    "The effect of the Soul Recovery Divine Technique''s peak 6th level is not bad."


    Zhao Feng felt that the injuries to his soul had recovered by about 20% while flying back.


    But¡­ did something happen for Bi Qingyue, Old Monster Xu, and company to leave all of a sudden? Zhao Feng thought.


    While he was in the Purple Star Tower, Bi Qingyue told him through the Dark Heart Seal that they needed to go back. Maybe it was because she didn''t want Zhao Feng''s attention to be split, but she didn''t tell him what was happening. At that moment, Zhao Feng had reached a critical stage in his cultivation, so he didn''t ask.


    At this moment, Bi Qingyue and company had exceeded the range of the Dark Heart Seal.


    Zhao Feng entered a momentary seclusion after returning to his residence. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly flapped its little wings within the Misty Spatial World and arrived next to Zhao Feng.


    "It''s ready to break through to the Sacred Lord rank?"


    Zhao Feng''s heart moved slightly. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was severely injured in a fight in the past, but with Zhao Feng''s care, it recovered back to its peak a long time ago. With the help of Zhao Feng''s resources, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had reached a limit.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat arrived next to Zhao Feng.


    "Here''s one portion of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. I''m going to leave the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly to you."


    Zhao Feng let the little thieving cat take charge. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was a great help, and if it could break through, then it would be even more valuable.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws continuously in front of Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng nodded his head; the little thieving cat was saying that it should be rewarded by Zhao Feng for taking care of the beast horde and the precious herbs.


    Zhao Feng followed the little thieving cat into the Misty Spatial World and had a look around. The little thieving cat did a very good job of managing the beasts; it was able to communicate with every beast directly and could use the lowest amount of resources to unleash the most potential.


    The strength of every beast had increased, so Zhao Feng agreed to the little thieving cat''s requests.


    After resolving the tasks for the little thieving cat, Zhao Feng focused on recovering the injury in his soul.


    Two days later, Zhao Feng''s injuries had completely recovered, and his soul was more refined and purer than before. The power of his soul had increased, and his Soul Recovery Divine Technique had reached the 7th level.


    "I''ll give the Soul Splitting Technique a test after reaching the 8th level of the Soul Recovery Divine Technique."


    Zhao Feng couldn''t suppress the excitement in his heart. According to the summary of the Soul Splitting Technique, it was the same as a cloning technique.


    Cloning techniques were used by Sacred Lords and, in theory, used their Sacred Body to create a clone.


    The soul that was split off with the Soul Splitting Technique was also considered a clone, and they could cultivate their own souls. Therefore, Zhao Feng wanted to learn the Soul Splitting Technique even more, and he wanted to perfect it. In order to do that, he needed to read a lot about the theories regarding the soul and expand his knowledge.


    On this day, Zhao Feng left his residence and headed toward Sacred Lord Star Demon''s private hall.


    Zhao Feng hadn''t completely read through the books on the right bookshelf, and he still had two days of time to browse the right bookshelf.


    "Little Friend Zhao, you''re finally here." Sacred Lord Star Demon''s voice sounded when Zhao Feng was still a couple dozen yards away from his hall.


    "Senior, thank you for your Purple Star Token. This junior has gained a lot." Zhao Feng expressed his thanks by putting his hands together.


    Zhao Feng had gained a lot from that four-day extreme cultivation in the Purple Star Tower. He also knew that Sacred Lord Star Demon probably knew everything that happened in the Purple Star Tower, but that wasn''t exactly a bad thing. The better his display, the more benefits he could gain from Sacred Lord Star Demon.


    "Hahaha, if that''s the case, then Little Friend Zhao can enter the Purple Star Tower whenever you want," Sacred Lord Star Demon said with a smile, and Zhao Feng was slightly dazed. Although he had displayed his strength, Sacred Lord Star Demon shouldn''t be this nice to him.


    Members of the Ji Family needed contribution points to enter the Purple Star Tower, while he could enter at any moment he wanted? This might cause some unrest.


    However, seeing that Sacred Lord Star Demon was so happy and might have encountered something good, Zhao Feng didn''t decline.


    "I''ve also been studying the Soul Splitting Technique and have some notes on it. Would Little Friend Zhao be interested to see it?" Sacred Lord Star Demon continued.


    Zhao Feng was baffled once more. He felt that Sacred Lord Star Demon was somehow different than normal ¨C he was a little too nice. Was there a trap?


    Zhao Feng obviously didn''t know that, because of the three breaths that he stayed on the 9th floor of the Purple Star Tower, the ruler of the Ji Family had changed.


    "This¡­ it would be junior''s pleasure to see senior''s notes." Zhao Feng couldn''t resist Sacred Lord Star Demon''s temptation, but he also signaled that he couldn''t give anything to trade for it.


    "I would like to see the complete Soul Splitting Technique. If Little Friend Zhao can perfect it one day, I would love to see it," Sacred Lord Star Demon said playfully.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon took out a book from his private collection and gave it to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng then went to the right bookshelf and became immersed in the ocean of books.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon was indeed worthy of being the scholar of the Ji Family''s eye-bloodline; he was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Sacred Lord Star Demon had written his perspectives regarding the Soul Splitting Technique and how to proceed after it.


    According to Sacred Lord Star Demon''s analysis, the Soul Splitting Technique had a high rate of success provided one managed to cultivate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Soul Recovery Divine Technique.


    To a certain degree, these notes gave Zhao Feng a rough direction on how to proceed after the Soul Splitting Technique.


    Zhao Feng''s confidence in cultivating the Soul Splitting Technique increased even more after reading this book. After finishing it, he then started to read through the other books.


    Zhao Feng believed that his knowledge and analysis ability would eventually surpass Sacred Lord Star Demon one day.


    Time passed by in a flash, and the time Zhao Feng had to browse through the books on the right shelf ended. Zhao Feng pretended to be very regretful, but in reality, he had already memorized 70% of the books he was interested in.


    Zhao Feng then directed his target to the left bookshelf, which was more populated with books.


    "Grand Elder, Ji Lan is here wanting to see you," Ji Lan''s voice sounded for the first time in the past couple days.


    "Speak."


    "Pavilion Master Bi told me to tell Zhao Feng that he should go back as soon as possible," Ji Lan reported truthfully.


    Bi Qingyue talked with Ji Lan the most among the Ji Family, so Ji Lan was obviously the one to tell Zhao Feng anything if he was occupied.


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed. He knew that Bi Qingyue and company must have had some sort of reason to leave in such a rush.


    "Senior Star Demon, this junior will be leaving then," Zhao Feng said.


    Zhao Feng could tell from Ji Lan''s tone that the problem should be quite urgent.


    "Ji Lan, take a few inner disciples of the Ji Family to follow Zhao Feng," Sacred Lord Star Demon''s voice sounded.


    "Understood," Ji Lan replied.


    Zhao Feng then led the disciples of the Ji Family and headed back toward the Misty Moon Island Zone. Before he left, Zhao Feng left a mark for the Misty Spatial World in the Ji Family.


    There was a total of fifteen people from the Ji Family that came alongside Ji Lan. Most of them were Emperors who were extremely excited. The reward for this mission was quite big.


    In front of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion in the Misty Moon Island Zone, Old Monster Xu, Supreme Emperor Dark Night, and several other members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were trapped in a big array controlled by Sacred Power.


    Purple dots covered Old Monster Xu''s and Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s bodies. They were severely injured, and the other members were taking care of them.


    "Everything will be resolved once Grand Elder returns," Zhan Jie''er''s confident voice sounded.


    "Don''t worry, Zhao Feng will come back soon," Old Monster Xu''s weak voice sounded.


    He connected to Zhao Feng through the Dark Heart Seal and knew that Zhao Feng was coming back now.


    The inside of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was completely different from before. Two tall figures stood in a dim and dark hall. One of them wore golden armor that had silver stripes over it. The other wore a black-and-red robe, and a fierce Demonic Dao aura came from them both.


    "We purposely let that bitch get away. Do you think that she''s given up on you and only saved herself?" A screeching and mockery-filled laugh sounded from the black-and-red-robed figure. They let go of Bi Qingyue so she could message Zhao Feng.


    "If Zhao Feng doesn''t come back within five days, then all of you shall go report to hell!" a roar sounded from the male in golden armor.


    "I''m here. You''re the ones who can go report to hell now," a cold voice resounded across the Misty Moon Island Zone.

 1006 Powerful Strength

    Chapter 1006 - Powerful Strength


    The elder in red-and-black robes and the golden-armored male both charged out from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. At the same time, several dozen other figures leapt out from other places in the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    "Zhao Feng!" Old Monster Xu''s figure faintly trembled, and he immediately stood up.


    "Grand Elder!" Zhan Jie''er''s eyes were full of admiration.


    The other members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion all looked into the air with excitement as well. To them, as long as their Grand Elder Zhao Feng returned, this nightmare would end.


    "Master, save Old Monster Xu and Supreme Emperor Dark Night first!" Bi Qingyue communicated with Zhao Feng through the Dark Heart Seal.


    They were both poisoned and needed to be treated as quickly as possible.


    Zhao Feng glanced at the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion trapped inside the array with an ugly expression.


    He already knew part of the situation going on in here. The two forces that had captured the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were two three-star forces ¨C the Eight Star Tower and the Ghost Fire Clan, the latter being a nearby force that cultivated the Dao of Ghosts.


    These two forces had taken over the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and set an ambush after Zhao Feng and the upper echelons of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion left, catching Old Monster Xu, Bi Qingyue, and company off guard when they returned.


    However, it was obvious that these two forces wanted to devour Zhao Feng''s forces for themselves, so they didn''t start a slaughter.


    "You are Zhao Feng?" The golden-armored male''s voice boomed across Heaven and Earth.


    "Stop talking so much, just finish him off straight away," the red-and-black-robed elder said in a cold and impatient tone.


    Their only target was Zhao Feng. As long as they finished off Zhao Feng, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, an entire assassination group, and all of Zhao Feng''s treasures would be theirs.


    "Can you not see the members of the Ji Family next to Zhao Feng?" the golden-armored male messaged in private.


    From the intel they received, Zhao Feng should only be faintly connected to the Duanmu Family, but the Duanmu Family was ranked last among the Eight Big Families and was extremely far away from the oceans. Even if they took over Zhao Feng''s force, the Duanmu Family wouldn''t be able to do anything to them.


    However, it was different with the Ji Family. The Ji Family wasn''t too far away from the ocean, and they were ranked above average among the Eight Big Families.


    "Are you dumb? Don''t bother with those from the Ji Family, just finish off Zhao Feng," the red-and-black-robed elder said in disdain.


    If Zhao Feng had come alone, then there might be something amiss. However, if Zhao Feng came with people from the Ji Family and thought that he could scare them off, then he was completely wrong.


    "Speak ¨C tell me who the mastermind is. Seeing as none of you killed members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, I can leave all of you a complete corpse," Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    The Eight Star Tower and the Ghost Fire Clan were three-star forces near the ocean. They had no enmities or feuds with the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. Even if Zhao Feng had plundered resources from one of them in the Divine Illusion Dimension, that wouldn''t result in them eyeing the entire Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    There was definitely something wrong with these two forces ¨C one wicked and one righteous ¨C teaming up with each other and attacking at the same time.


    "Hahaha! You''re about to die and yet you''re still spewing nonsense," the red-and-black-robed elder said in disdain.


    An Emperor dared to talk to two Sacred Lords like this? Although both of them were only at the beginning stages of the Mystic Light Realm, they were much stronger than Old Monster Xu, who only just became a Sacred Lord recently. Furthermore, they both had two Quasi-Sacred Lords from their respective forces as well.


    Hu~~


    The red-and-black-robed figure and the golden-armored male instantly charged out as the Quasi-Sacred Lords and Emperors followed from behind.


    "Don''t harm those from the Ji Family. Just kill Zhao Feng," the red-and-black-robed person''s voice sounded in everyone''s souls.


    Those from the Ji Family instantly started to panic. If Sacred Lord Star Demon hadn''t personally told them about this task, they would have run away long ago. The news of Zhao Feng instantly defeating Ji Chengming outside the Purple Star Tower had also spread a little bit, so a few members of the Ji Family recognized Zhao Feng strength.


    "Don''t panic. Listen to Zhao Feng''s orders. The Eight Star Tower and the Ghost Fire Clan won''t dare to do anything to the Ji Family," Ji Lan''s voice sounded in the hearts of the Ji Family members.


    Ji Lan believed that, with his own strength and the help of the Ji Family, Zhao Feng should be able to handle this situation.


    Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same as he looked at the two forces charging over.


    A strong surge of Eye Intent shot out from his left eye.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World."


    Limitless soul power entered Zhao Feng''s left eye through his Lightning Soul Body. Zhao Feng''s left eye turned into a limitless purple-and-golden maze palace that was very alluring.


    Weng~~


    All the experts in front of Zhao Feng couldn''t help but instinctively look at Zhao Feng''s eye, and they were suddenly unable to control their consciousness and started to struggle. However, it was useless, and their eyes soon lost all light.


    Hu~


    In just an instant, the golden-armored male, the red-and-black-robed elder, and the several dozen members behind them were dazed as if they had lost their souls, and they couldn''t move at all.


    The golden-armored male and the red-and-black-robed elder circulated the full power of their Soul Intent to block the terrifying eye-bloodline technique.


    "This¡­ what''s going on?" The black-and-red-robed elder felt that something was wrong and his heart started to turn cold. His entire body started to tremble as he looked at the golden-eyed youth ahead of him.


    "How is this possible? What powerful Soul Intent¡­!" Cold sweat poured from the golden-armored male''s back.


    He never expected the battle to end before it even started. Zhao Feng only used one glance to defeat everyone else apart from him and the black-and-red-robed elder.


    How was this possible? Wasn''t he just an Emperor? How could the eye-bloodline technique of an Emperor be effective against Sacred Lords?


    The disciples of the Ji Family behind Zhao Feng were stunned. They didn''t even need to do anything.


    "This¡­!" Ji Lan was speechless.


    Although she expected Zhao Feng''s full strength to be extremely high, it wasn''t supposed to be like this. The several dozen Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords couldn''t fight back at all against Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique.


    Zhao Feng looked at the battlefield. "The power of dispersion is useless against Sacred Lords."


    Of course, Zhao Feng''s skill was used for its ability to trap enemies and reduce some of their battle-power. Its offensive capabilities weren''t very strong.


    "Quickly charge! This brat''s soul is too strong." The golden-armored male''s expression remained the same as he messaged the elder in black-and-red robes.


    The elder in red-and-black robes specialized in the soul, so he could fight back against Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline skill.


    "Since this brat''s soul is so strong, you just need to block his soul attack, and then I can critically damage him with a physical attack," the golden-armored male continued.


    "Okay." The elder in black-and-red robes gritted his teeth and turned into a streak of black-and-red fire that shot toward Zhao Feng.


    They were two Sacred lords; where would their face go if their entire forces were defeated by Zhao Feng alone?


    At the same time, the black-and-red-robed elder''s angry voice sounded in the golden-armored male''s soul, "Is Sacred Lord Dark Shadow playing with us?"


    The golden-armored male''s expression became ugly, but there was no way they could retreat at this point.


    "You''re courting death," Zhao Feng''s gaze was cold as he said in a light tone. A surge of fire with purple-and-golden light and God Tribulation Lightning symbols appeared from his left eye.


    Boom!


    A transparent purple-and-golden lightning-fire with a Destructive aura landed on the ball of black-and-red ghost flames.


    Si~


    "Argh¡­!" The red-and-black-robed elder instantly started to scream. Lightning and fire burned across both his soul and body.


    After the Purple Star Tower, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had become stronger, and his mastery of eye-bloodline techniques had also reached another level. Zhao Feng would be able to severely injure normal Sacred Lords with his Wind Lightning Eye Flame alone.


    However, he suddenly charged out.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng circulated the power of his Sacred Lightning Body and made the red-and-black-robed elder cough out blood with just one punch.


    A normal Quasi-Sacred Lord would have been killed by Zhao Feng already, but the Sacred Body of a Sacred Lord was different. Their defense against anyone with lower cultivation was extremely strong, and it had very fast recovery speed.


    "Ha!" Zhao Feng threw out another punch containing the power of God Tribulation Lightning toward the elder''s dantian, where his Sacred Power was stored.


    When an Emperor became a Sacred Lord, the Crystal Core dimension would turn into a whirlpool of Sacred Power.


    Bam! Boom!


    The red-and-black-robed elder''s figure disappeared from Heaven and Earth. His soul was completely crushed by Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent, leaving behind only an interspatial bracelet, which Zhao Feng took into the Misty Spatial World.


    Although this elder was a beginning-stage Sacred Lord, his strength was much weaker than Sacred Lord Hundred Refined and company from the Imperial Tombs. This was why Zhao Feng was able to kill a Sacred Lord with his own strength.


    The Grand Elder of the Ghost Fire Clan died here, and everyone from the Ji Family shook, including Ji Lan.


    A Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord that could call the wind and move clouds in the continent zone had been killed so easily. All of this felt surreal.


    Only now did the disciples of the Ji Family understand that they were actually extremely lucky to be able to obtain such plentiful rewards just by coming out for a stroll.


    "Grand Elder!" The hearts of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion members started to boil. This was their Grand Elder who crushed enemies with terrifying and overwhelming power.


    The golden-armored male was slightly slower in his charge, and he instantly stopped. His hair stood up on end, and there was a surge of Death Intent around him.


    How is he so strong!? How is this possible!? How can an Emperor kill a Sacred Lord so easily!? the golden-armored male roared in his heart. Dammit, we were tricked by Sacred Lord Dark Shadow.


    The golden-armored male gritted his teeth and spoke after a while, "Zhao Feng, let go of the Eight Star Tower. We are willing to pay the Ocean Smoke Pavilion for its losses and tell you the mastermind''s identity."


    He didn''t dare to fight back against Zhao Feng''s power anymore.


    "There''s no need," Zhao Feng said.


    The expression of a half-transparent black figure in a hidden place several thousand miles away changed; "Bunch of useless trash! I''ve been found!"


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s soul shook as he turned into a dark streak of light and flashed away.


    "I''ll take care of the Eight Star Tower after I return." Zhao Feng harrumphed coldly as his Wind Lightning True Yuan started to surge, and a pair of Scarlet Wings of Lightning formed.


    Hu~


    The pair of wings behind Zhao Feng''s back released a surge of scarlet-golden light as he turned into a bolt of lightning and instantly disappeared.


    "What speed!" The golden-armored male was completely dazed. He had thought about running away, but all the elders and elites of the Eight Star Demon were present too.


    "I actually listened to the Nine Darkness Palace and did such a stupid thing?" The golden-armored male mocked himself with a laugh.


    Only at this moment did some of the Quasi-Sacred Lords start to wake up.

 1007 Organizing the Forces

    Chapter 1007 - Organizing the Forces


    "Dammit, why did it turn out like this?" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow cursed.


    Before the Crown Prince trial began, he had been sent over from Nine Darkness Palace to encourage and threaten the forces near the ocean as well as take over the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    His main goal was to use the Sacred Lord experts of other three-star powers to force Zhao Feng to use the last God Slaying Arrow. After using the God Slaying Arrow, Zhao Feng would die.


    However, after the Crown Prince trial ended, Nine Darkness Palace quickly sent information to Sacred Lord Dark Shadow. The upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace told him that Zhao Feng now had the strength to kill beginning-stage Sacred Lords. With the addition of his beast horde, he wouldn''t be scared of overwhelming numbers either.


    One had to know that, while there were differences in strength between Sacred Lords, it was still very difficult to kill those at the same rank. Sacred Lord Dark Shadow had to believe what the upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace told him, but instead of leaving right away, he was hiding somewhere nearby.


    He didn''t expect to see such a terrifying scene. With this level of strength, the God Slaying Arrow, the members of the Ji Family, and his beast horde, even three beginning-stage Sacred Lords wouldn''t be enough to take down Zhao Feng. Luckily, Nine Darkness Palace had sent him news long ago or else he would have died here.


    "What terrifying speed!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow felt the booming of wind and lightning as well as a cold killing intent from behind him.


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow specialized in speed but still wasn''t able to throw off Zhao Feng.


    "Dark Night Flowing Shadow!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow turned into a streak of dark light and sped forward several dozen thousand miles.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!" Zhao Feng circulated his Fire of Wind Lightning and completed his first flash.


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was the fastest beginning-stage Sacred Lord Zhao Feng had seen so far. Zhao Feng wasn''t able to catch up even with his Lightning Wings Spatial Flash.


    "Sky Locking Bow!"


    A golden arrow of Wind Lightning started to condense in Zhao Feng''s hand and shot through part of the limitless ocean.


    Whoosh!


    When the golden arrow of Wind Lightning appeared, it pierced through Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s chest.


    "Dammit, this brat¡­!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow stopped in the air.


    This arrow contained a chaotic power of Wind Lightning. The Destructive power of God Tribulation Lightning within it also heavily countered Sacred Bodies.


    After attacking continuously, Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash once more and decreased the distance between himself and Sacred Lord Dark Shadow.


    A faint undulation of mental energy flashed through the limitless ocean. The Mark of the God Eye had been successfully implanted.


    When Zhao Feng left the Mark of the God Eye, Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was amidst a storm of wind and lightning, so he dismissed the faint sensation.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow felt danger arrive and instantly merged into space without care for his injuries.


    "Let''s see where you can run to." Zhao Feng floated in the air and closed his eyes as he sensed Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s location and suddenly pulled his bowstring.


    Whoosh!


    A purple arrow of light shot through the air, and it contained a soul attack.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng could feel his soul attack land on Sacred Lord Dark Shadow.


    "How is this possible? I''m so far away, and his Sky Locking Bow hasn''t locked onto me either."


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s heart jumped. He knew about the Sky Locking Bow, and he felt that something was wrong because Zhao Feng wasn''t chasing after him anymore. He could feel that the Sky Locking Bow hadn''t locked onto him.


    Right as Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was thinking about it, another arrow of light shot over. Sacred Lord Dark Shadow immediately flew to the side but was still hit by the arrow of light.


    He still didn''t feel like anything had locked onto him at all, but the arrow of light still followed closely behind him.


    "This is weird¡­ I need to leave!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow didn''t dare to stay behind, so he continued to run. However, arrows shot at him one after another, and he was unable to avoid any of them.


    "Dammit, this is definitely not the Sky Locking Bow. Could it be some sort of ancient unique bow?"


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s figure was extremely ruffled. The Sky Locking Bow definitely didn''t have this ability.


    He kept on running, but he was unable to dodge these arrows of light. Sacred Lord Dark Shadow finally managed to arrive at a teleportation array within a city and teleport to another city.


    "I''ll let him live."


    Zhao Feng put the Sky Locking Bow away.


    The power of the Sky Locking Bow would decrease if the distance was too long. Besides, if Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was killed from so far away, it would make Nine Darkness Palace suspicious, and the Mark of the God''s Eye might be discovered.


    It was better to let him live. He might be more useful in the future.


    As long as a Sacred King or a Demigod didn''t come out, it would be very hard to find Zhao Feng''s Mark of the God Eye.


    The feud between Zhao Feng and Nine Darkness Palace had reached a level where one side must die for it to end. Right now, Zhao Feng was a very important member supporting the Ninth Prince, and he had the help of many forces. Nine Darkness Palace couldn''t do anything on the surface or else everyone would think that the Thirteenth Prince was making a move to weaken the Ninth Prince''s forces.


    Even if the Thirteenth Prince was favored by the Sacred Emperor and the Sacred Empress, he would lose all chances of becoming the Crown Prince if he did such a thing.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng and the Ninth Prince were in the same boat. If the Ninth Prince had an accident and lost the seat of Crown Prince, Nine Darkness Palace would try to kill Zhao Feng with all their power.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his armguard, and a layer of silver appeared, then dimmed until it disappeared.


    Weng~~


    The next instant, Zhao Feng appeared above the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Sii!


    The golden-armored male and the forces of the Ghost Fire Clan and Eight Star Tower instantly felt a bone-chilling coldness. Many experts had been planning to find a chance to escape, but they were frightened by Zhao Feng''s sudden appearance.


    At this moment, the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were freed while Supreme Emperor Dark Night, Old Monster Xu, and company were rescued.


    Bi Qingyue instantly calmed down after seeing Zhao Feng arrive.


    Everyone outside the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was busy.


    Only those from the Ji Family, the Eight Star Tower, and the Ghost Fire Clan remained in the sky.


    "Zhao Feng, you finished off Sacred Lord Dark Shadow?" the golden-armored male asked.


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was known for his ability to escape. It would be incredible if Zhao Feng could even find Sacred Lord Dark Shadow, let alone finish him off.


    Ji Lan and those from the Ji Family were puzzled as well.


    "The Ghost Fire Clan will become a subordinate force of Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s assassination organization. Those who don''t listen to orders shall be killed. We will now discuss what the Eight Star Tower owes us."


    Zhao Feng first announced what would happen to the Ghost Fire Clan, then looked at the golden-armored male.


    While the disciples and elders of the Ghost Fire Clan were unwilling, there was nothing they could do. Once their Grand Elder died, other forces would deal with them if Zhao Feng didn''t take them in.


    "Thank you, Master," Supreme Emperor Dark Night messaged through the Dark Heart Seal.


    The Ghost Fire Clan was a force that cultivated the Dao of Ghosts, so they had far more potential as assassins than the disciples from the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan. This would allow him to truly start up his assassination organization.


    The golden-armored male''s heart shook. Zhao Feng completely ignored what he asked and went directly to negotiations in a forceful tone. Furthermore, Zhao Feng just announced the fate of the Ghost Fire Clan before talking about negotiations.


    The golden-armored male and members of the Eight Star Tower cried out in their hearts. It would have been better if Zhao Feng told them what he wanted specifically, but he didn''t, so they didn''t know what to give. If they gave too little, Zhao Feng wouldn''t be happy. If they gave too much, they wouldn''t be happy.


    "The Eight Star Tower will pay for all the Ocean Smoke Pavilion''s losses this time. The Eight Star Tower will also give a certain amount of resources and manpower to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion every year," the golden-armored male finally spoke after a moment of silence.


    "Join the Ninth Prince''s faction as well," Zhao Feng said in a decisive tone after listening to what the golden-armored male proposed.


    The expressions of the golden-armored male and elders of the Eight Star Tower became slightly ugly. If the Ninth Prince had the same number of forces as the Fourth Prince, the golden-armored male would join even without Zhao Feng telling him to. However, the "Crown Prince" wasn''t strong enough. The Fourth, Thirteenth, and Seventh Princes would definitely do something in the future.


    The chance of the Ninth Prince succeeding in staying the Crown Prince and actually becoming the Sacred Emperor was very low.


    "Okay."


    At this moment in time, those from the Eight Star Tower weren''t able to run away, and they couldn''t win if they decided to fight. What else could they do apart from agreeing?


    The golden-armored male and the elders from the Eight Star Tower felt extremely frustrated.


    "You can go now," Zhao Feng said.


    Those from the Ji Family took in a deep breath. Just like that, Zhao Feng conquered a three star-power and made another three-star power join the Ninth Prince''s faction.


    Zhao Feng then allowed the Ji Family members to enter the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Zhao Feng knew what Sacred Lord Star Demon wanted, but he didn''t know what the Eighth Prince''s intentions were. However, it was already great that the Ji Family was supporting the Ninth Prince. This would allow the Ninth Prince''s overall strength to rise by another level.


    The Ocean Smoke Pavilion was fixed after three days and started to run normally again. The Eight Star Tower also sent the promised resources.


    Expanding Zhao Feng''s forces required more resources than what he obtained in the Divine Illusion Dimension and the Imperial Tombs.


    "I will go visit Senior Star Demon after a while."


    Zhao Feng said goodbye to Ji Lan. He still hadn''t finished reading Sacred Lord Star Demon''s private collection yet, and the Purple Star Tower was a great place for cultivation. He also still needed to investigate the owner of the Eyes of Samsara. This meant that he had to go back to the Ji Family at some point, but Zhao Feng first needed to organize everything here.


    Within the Misty Spatial World, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had already used the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey and fallen asleep. The Sky Shaking Golden Apes also had signs of breaking through after the little thieving cat''s care.


    Zhao Feng''s return after the Crown Prince trial caused an invisible air of draconic providence to surround the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Zhao Feng organized the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s assassination force before returning to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and entering seclusion.


    His main focus was the Soul Recovery Divine Technique and analyzing the Soul Splitting Technique.


    Zhao Feng''s dark purple Lightning Soul Body suddenly started to glitter after a month, as if it had its own consciousness and had moved beyond the limits of a soul.


    This unique scene happened for a couple reasons.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng''s soul body had undergone an unknown mutation after merging with his God''s Spiritual Eye. After the evolution of the God''s Spiritual Eye last time, his purple Soul Sea, the symbols of God Tribulation Lightning, and his soul had combined to form the Lightning Soul Body.


    The other reason was that Zhao Feng had the help of many precious resources, and his Soul Recovery Divine Technique had reached the 8th level.


    "I can start cultivating the first level of the Soul Splitting Technique now."


    Zhao Feng''s heart moved. At this moment, his soul had met the requirements and even surpassed what the author had set to cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique. Although his Soul Recovery Divine Technique hadn''t reached the peak yet, Zhao Feng''s soul already exceeded the requirements with the 8th level.


    "Once I succeed in splitting my soul, I will be able to put the Eye of Death into the split-off soul."

 1008 Soul Clone

    Chapter 1008 - Soul Clone


    According to Zhao Feng''s understanding, the split-off soul would be one of Zhao Feng''s clones.


    The clones of normal Sacred Lords had at least 30% of the power of their true body, depending on how highly ranked their clone technique was. Zhao Feng didn''t know what kind of battle-power his clone would have if he successfully split his soul, but it shouldn''t be too low.


    Zhao Feng started to circulate the Soul Splitting Technique and entered the world of his soul after making all the preparations. This was a very dangerous soul technique, and Zhao Feng had to calm down and get into the feeling.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng felt a sharp pain in his soul. His Lightning Soul Body expanded a little bit, and the size of his soul exceeded the limits of his body. Occasional arcs of lightning flickered across it.


    Another few days passed, and Zhao Feng''s soul kept on expanding until it completely covered his body. A condensed, dark purple version of Zhao Feng appeared within the Misty Spatial World, and it was surrounded by countless symbols of God Tribulation Lightning. This was Zhao Feng''s soul, and it covered Zhao Feng''s physical body.


    If others saw Zhao Feng''s soul at this moment, they would jump up in fright. Zhao Feng''s soul had mutated, and it was even more condensed than the souls of someone at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. It seemed to be alive, and it was full of the power of lightning.


    Everyone knew that, after someone became an Emperor, their soul had to be completely destroyed in order to kill them. At this moment, even early-stage Mystic Light Realms wouldn''t be able to completely destroy Zhao Feng''s soul. At the most, they would be able to imprison his soul and slowly weaken it until it completely died.


    Time passed by slowly. Zhao Feng''s progress in the first level of the Soul Splitting Technique was very slow. He was scared that, if he did everything in a rush, the God''s Spiritual Eye would mutate or something, which would be horrible.


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness was watching his soul, keeping an eye on all the changes to it. As long as there were any signs of danger that exceeded his expectations, Zhao Feng would stop the Soul Splitting Technique.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng''s soul had expanded and changed shape. No one could see his original appearance, as if he was an evil ghost.


    Hu~~


    The symbols of God Tribulation Lightning flickered in his soul. From this, one could see that Zhao Feng''s soul power was quickly rotating.


    Searing pain washed over Zhao Feng''s consciousness.


    "This is the most important step."


    Zhao Feng was very tense and didn''t dare to relax.


    Weng~~


    A faint purple line appeared in the center of Zhao Feng''s dark purple soul. The symbols of lightning that swarmed over there were clearer, as if they were newly born.


    An excruciating pain appeared in Zhao Feng''s soul, and his face started to twist as if he had become a devil.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng''s soul started to split right on the faint purple line.


    The soul was the foundation of everything. One could imagine how painful it would be to split the soul.


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated the Soul Recovery Divine Technique and the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to reduce the pain in his soul and heal himself. Zhao Feng realized that, when he used the two skills together, the healing effect was extremely stunning.


    Si!


    The faint purple line in the center of Zhao Feng''s soul was pulled in two directions, and countless symbols of God Tribulation Lightning almost erupted from his soul.


    Like this, Zhao Feng would use the Soul Splitting Technique once every while and pull his soul to two sides, then he would use the Soul Recovery Divine Technique and Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to quickly recover.


    This cycle repeated for an entire month, and Zhao Feng''s soul was still in the process of splitting.


    He was now used to the pain in his soul, and his God''s Spiritual Eye was very obedient; it didn''t show any unexpected signs.


    If someone entered the Misty Spatial World, they would see that Zhao Feng''s soul had almost split in two.


    There were many soul particles and symbols of God Tribulation Lightning connected in the center of the two souls, and the dark purple line near the edge of where the soul was splitting moved around slowly. This was the effect of circulating the Soul Recovery Divine Technique.


    The two souls had one half of Zhao Feng''s face and looked identical to one another. The only point that distinguished the two apart was the eye; the soul on the right didn''t have the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    "The most dangerous part has passed."


    Zhao Feng finally let out a breath, and the two souls made the same expression.


    His soul had roughly split in half, and both souls had his consciousness. He had succeeded in cultivating most of the first level of the Soul Splitting Technique.


    "The soul that split off also seems to have the Lightning Soul Body."


    Zhao Feng was slightly excited.


    There was no doubt about the benefits that the Lightning Soul Body brought. The simplest point was that Zhao Feng could absorb the power of lightning to heal his soul, which was something that normal souls couldn''t do.


    "Now I just need to completely separate the two souls."


    Zhao Feng''s progress was slow since he wanted to make sure it was safe. At the same time, he could inspect every detail and understand the characteristics of his soul and the split-off soul so he could prepare for the second level of the Soul Splitting Technique.


    The second level of the Soul Splitting Technique was only half-complete. Everything after that would depend on Zhao Feng.


    Ten days later, Zhao Feng''s souls completely split apart.


    Each soul had half of Zhao Feng''s appearance ¨C half a face, half a body, one arm, and one leg each. A soul like this was too ugly.


    "My soul should be able to slowly recover its original appearance," Zhao Feng concluded as he circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Soul Recovery Divine Technique.


    Within the Misty Spatial World, two half-souls floated in the air and looked at one another.


    The sides of the two souls started to slowly move and expand. The outline of a body appeared on each one, then the outline of a head, arm, and leg.


    Another ten days passed, and the outlines finally started to solidify. The souls weren''t just halves anymore ¨C they had complete human forms.


    Hu~~


    The two dark purple soul bodies descended downward.


    The left eye of one of the souls was a faint gold color, and that one returned to Zhao Feng''s body.


    "I''ll create a temporary body for you with the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus," Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    His current state was extremely profound. Although the two souls were separate, both of them had his consciousness. Zhao Feng felt as if he had two lives; even if the soul with his God''s Eye was destroyed, he wouldn''t die. He would simply exist as the other soul.


    Of course, Zhao Feng still thought of the soul with his God''s Spiritual Eye as his true self.


    A body made from a Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus was soon formed, and the split-off soul entered this body.


    "This clone seems to be much more useful than the cloning techniques of Sacred Lords."


    Zhao Feng was excited.


    Sacred Lords used their Sacred Bodies to create a clone and then imprinted their Soul Intent into it. While this clone listened to the commands of the true body, it had its own individual thoughts. If the clone became too strong and an accident happened to the main body, the clone might even be able to escape the main body''s control.


    Something like this had happened in the past. The clone of a Sacred Lord returned a thousand years later and killed the main body.


    However, the clone that Zhao Feng made had his soul and consciousness. He was still himself. Zhao Feng couldn''t describe the specifics, but he was sure that the soul created from the Soul Splitting Technique would never betray him.


    "From now on, you will be called Zhao Wang."


    Zhao Feng gave his clone a new name. From today onward, Zhao Wang would merge the Eye of Death into his body.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Wang shared the same sight. Zhao Feng would see whatever Zhao Wang could see. Furthermore, Zhao Feng and Zhao Wang didn''t even need to send information to each other; Zhao Feng''s thoughts were Zhao Wang''s thoughts.


    Zhao Feng suddenly realized that the clone created by the Soul Splitting Technique had exceeded his expectations.


    "But there''s one point that not as good as Sacred Lord clone techniques."


    Zhao Feng looked at everything calmly.


    After splitting his soul, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent that was about to break through to the early stages of the Sacred Lord level almost fell to the Quasi-Sacred Lord level, and Zhao Wang''s Soul Intent was only at the initial stages of the Great Origin Core Realm. The lifeforce of the body created from the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus was at the peak Small Origin Core Realm.


    This meant that Zhao Feng''s strength had decreased, and his clone Zhao Wang was too weak to do anything in the short term. While Sacred Lords would also be affected if they created a clone, their Soul Intent wouldn''t weaken, and their clones would have the same battle-power, allowing them to be used straight away.


    "One can''t obtain the palms of a bear and a fish at the same time."


    Zhao Feng wasn''t disappointed.


    The clones formed by Sacred Lords had limited potential. Unless the clone left the control of the main body or the main body had an accident, the clone would never be able to surpass the main body, but Zhao Feng''s clone had the experience of two lifetimes, many treasures, and secret techniques. Its battle-power could surpass the main body, and it would never betray Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn''t inspect his clone Zhao Wang anymore. Both bodies started to cultivate.


    Although his soul had successfully split, the injuries to both souls hadn''t recovered yet. One had to pay extra attention to injuries of the soul.


    "Hmm? What happened!?" Zhao Feng exclaimed as he opened his eyes.


    "Could it be¡­?" Zhao Feng looked at Zhao Wang in fright and finally understood.


    Because they both shared the same consciousness, whatever Zhao Wang comprehended would also enter Zhao Feng''s mind.


    Of course, this was just the experience and comprehension. Their actual power couldn''t be shared, or else Zhao Feng could have just immediately increased Zhao Wang''s strength to the level of an Emperor.


    "This characteristic is similar to when I circulate the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique."


    Zhao Feng could multi-task after he learned the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, but now, his rate of efficiency would be even faster if he focused on the same thing with two minds.


    "I''ll merge the Eye of Death into the clone after a while," Zhao Feng planned.


    The smaller the difference between the Eye of Death and the clone''s soul strength, the easier it would be to refine, but since Zhao Wang''s soul was the same as Zhao Feng''s, he didn''t need to refine it since Zhao Feng already refined it. This meant that, no matter how big the difference in cultivation between the two, the clone could merge with the Eye of Death. Zhao Wang, who was only at the peak Small Origin Core Realm, wouldn''t meet any life-threatening danger after fusing with the Eye of Death, which was at the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord.

 1009 Battle of Lord Dynasties

    Chapter 1009 - Battle of Lord Dynasties


    Zhao Feng''s and Zhao Wang''s soul injuries were mainly healed after five days. Zhao Feng immediately exited seclusion and left Zhao Wang in the Misty Spatial World. Right now, Zhao Wang needed to use every possible moment in order to increase his strength.


    The first order of business was that Zhao Wang needed to fuse with the Eye of Death, so it would be best if he cultivated techniques that were related to Death. The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was obviously not a good choice.


    Zhao Wang soon found a technique from his memories ¨C the Yin Lightning Death Manual. This was a Heaven-grade skill that Zhao Feng had found in the bookroom of Xie Yang Palace.


    The Yin Lightning Death Manual was based off the power of Yin Lightning and the Intent of Death. It could completely unleash the characteristics of both the Lightning Soul Body and the Eye of Death.


    The rarity of this skill wasn''t any lower than something cultivated by the core disciples of the Eight Big Families.


    Zhao Wang started to cultivate the Yin Lightning Death Manual within the Misty Spatial World with Zhao Feng''s guidance.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng could receive all the comprehension and experience that came from Zhao Wang cultivating this skill. Even if Zhao Feng did nothing, experience would enter his mind as if he was cultivating it himself.


    "Master, Duke Nanfeng has waited for you for some time already." Bi Qingyue arrived outside of Zhao Feng''s hall.


    "En."


    Bi Qingyue sent Zhao Feng some news through the Dark Heart Seal after he finished cultivating the Soul Splitting Technique. In particular, Zhao Feng received a pieceof shocking news from her.


    "My Lord."


    Zhao Feng and Bi Qingyue walked to a wide hall, and Zhao Feng could guess why Duke Nanfeng was here.


    "Zhao Feng, the Great Gan Lord Dynasty and the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty have started a war," Duke Nanfeng said in a very straightforward manner.


    "This should have started while the Crown Prince trial were still happening, right?" Zhao Feng asked. The non-humans must have attacked when the Crown Prince trial started since that was when the draconic providence outside was at its weakest.


    "That''s right."


    The experts of many forces could already guess that from the assassination attempt in the Great Gan Imperial Palace half a year ago, but most of them still thought that it was just a small clash and that nothing big would happen. However, an outright war had started between the two lord dynasties.


    However, even if the Great Gan and Dark Moon Lord Dynasties fought against one another, Duke Nanfeng didn''t need to come and wait for Zhao Feng to exit seclusion. This made Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrow.


    "The war has just started, and the Great Gan Lord Dynasty is already at a disadvantage." Duke Nanfeng knew what Zhao Feng was puzzled about and explained.


    "From the looks of it, the non-humans were ready for this and have made plentiful preparations."


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly. According to what Zhao Feng knew, the Tie and Yu Families both guarded the border region. One could see how strong the non-humans were from the fact that the Great Gan Lord Dynasty was at a disadvantage straight away.


    "Therefore, the Great Gan Lord Dynasty sent a Clan Summoning Order," Duke Nanfeng continued.


    "The Clan Summoning Order means that all forces within the territory of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty will be forced to send a certain number of fighters to the front lines," Bi Qingyue''s voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    The forces within the territory of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty were protected by the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s draconic providence, and so, to a certain degree, they were able to order the forces around.


    Zhao Feng didn''t say anything after hearing this.


    This definitely wasn''t as simple as it seemed. Now that the Crown Prince was confirmed, the various forces all stood behind different factions. This included those at the front lines. For example, the Tie Family supported the Fourth Prince while the Yu Family supported the 8th Prince.


    A war between lord dynasties was horrible for the Ninth Prince.


    "How are the forces distributed when they go to the battlefield?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "They''re under the command of Sacred King Feather Spirit, but all the small tasks are given to his subordinates. I''ve come for this as well"


    Duke Nanfeng also supported the Ninth Prince, and he obviously didn''t want to see the other princes use this chance to deal with the Ninth Prince.


    Duke Nanfeng was also an imperial, and he had a few connections within the family.


    "I still have some contacts there. At that point in time, your forces will be with my guards," Duke Nanfeng said.


    Being the ruler of a great island zone, Duke Nanfeng also needed to send forces over to the battlefield.


    "I''ll leave it to my lord then," Zhao Feng smiled and said. With Duke Nanfeng''s help, the forces that the Ocean Smoke Pavilion sent over wouldn''t enter a situation of despair.


    "I''ll try my best to gather all the other forces supporting the Ninth Prince together."


    Duke Nanfeng had a serious expression. If the Ninth Prince became the Sacred Emperor, then Duke Nanfeng''s status and power would rise by several tiers. He would be more than just the ruler of a great island zone.


    Furthermore, this would also help Zhao Feng get rid of any danger. He knew about the feud between Zhao Feng and Nine Darkness Palace.


    "That would be best." Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    He couldn''t let the forces supporting the Ninth Prince become too weak. If the forces supporting the Ninth Prince were completely wiped out, how would he be able to become the Sacred Emperor on his own?


    Zhao Feng and the Ninth Prince were in the same boat now. If the Ninth Prince failed, then Zhao Feng''s forces alone wouldn''t be enough to handle Nine Darkness Palace.


    If the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, Shi Family, and others were weakened, the chances of the Ninth Prince becoming the Emperor would decrease.


    "Bi Qingyue, gather our forces quickly," Zhao Feng ordered.


    The earlier they made their preparations, the bigger advantage they would have.


    "Is there anything wrong with the Ninth Prince right now?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "Relax. After what happened last time, even a fly won''t be able to enter the Imperial Palace," Duke Nanfeng said with a smile.


    "On the other hand, your forces are expanding pretty well," Duke Nanfeng said with a sigh.


    He had received news of what had happened to the Eight Star Tower and the Ghost Fire Clan.


    Zhao Feng''s forces had expanded once again, and his own strength had increased in many respects as well. The overall strength of his force had already surpassed normal three-star powers. The only thing they lacked were peak experts and resources. The Ocean Smoke Pavilion being called by the Clan Summoning Order at this time was not a good thing.


    "Also, the mastermind behind the Ghost Fire Clan and the Eight Star Tower was Nine Darkness Palace."


    Duke Nanfeng found out that the Ghost Fire Clan and Nine Darkness Palace actually had a very hidden relationship, and he was worried for Zhao Feng. If it wasn''t for the Crown Prince trial, Zhao Feng probably would''ve already been killed by Nine Darkness Palace.


    At the same time, he admired Zhao Feng for the fact that he was able to survive against Nine Darkness Palace for such a long time and still expand his forces.


    "I understand."


    A cold light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    One day later, a Quasi-Sacred Lord from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion led a big group of people and left the Misty Moon Island Zone with Duke Nanfeng. Zhao Feng then entered seclusion once more.


    Within the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng and Zhao Wang sat opposite one another.


    "I''ll start refining and merging the Eye of Death now."


    Golden light spun around Zhao Feng''s left eye, and the Eye of Death that existed in a soul-like state appeared in the air.


    Because the Eye of Death was too strong, Zhao Feng had to personally refine it. Zhao Feng''s expression became serious as a strong surge of Soul Intent covered the Eye of Death and slowly merged it into the position of Zhao Wang''s right eye.


    The Eye of Death suddenly started to shake.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng instantly suppressed it with his Soul Intent. The merging last time only failed due to Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye rejecting the Eye of Death. It was slightly scared of Zhao Feng''s soul body, and it finally gave in against his powerful Soul Intent.


    "Merge!"


    A surge of soul power shot out from Zhao Feng''s soul and turned into a gray-and-purple flame, just as the Soul Refining Eye Technique said.


    Weng~~


    A ball of gray-and-purple fire burned where Zhao Wang''s right eye would be, and he gave a deep howl.


    Weng!


    The refining process was extremely successful. The color around the Eye of Death started to change as it merged into Zhao Wang''s soul. At the very end, even the symbols of the God Tribulation Lightning were able to move around the Eye of Death.


    Zhao Feng stopped helping when the color around the Eye of Death was almost the same as Zhao Wang''s soul. Zhao Feng then needed to help Zhao Wang use the Soul Refining Eye Technique himself and direct his own soul so that it fully merged with the Eye of Death.


    The moment the Eye of Death merged with Zhao Wang''s eye, the latter would have the abilities of the Eye of Death.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng left the Misty Spatial World and gave a few orders before leaving the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Using the marking left behind by the Misty Spatial World, he arrived directly at the Duke''s Palace, but since Duke Nanfeng wasn''t present, Zhao Feng headed toward the Haili Province. When he arrived at the Haili Province, he left a spatial marking with the Misty Spatial World behind.


    On a certain day, around the forest surrounding the Ji Family:


    Weng~~ Shua!


    A layer of silver flashed, and a golden figure appeared from within a spatial ripple.


    Zhao Feng had left a spatial marking here when he left the Ji Family, and his eyes moved the instant he arrived.


    "The Eye of Death has finally merged?" Zhao Feng used his God''s Spiritual Eye to inspect Zhao Wang within the Misty Spatial World.


    "It has indeed completely merged."


    The speed of fusing with the Eye of Death had exceeded his expectations, but Zhao Wang couldn''t use the Eye of Death yet since his Soul Intent was only at the level of a Great Origin Core Realm while the Eye of Death was at the Quasi-Sacred Lord rank. Trying to use any technique with it would just use up all the energy in his soul.


    Zhao Wang''s Intent had only just been born from the powerful Lightning Soul Body, but it would be able to reach the level of an Emperor, then a Quasi-Sacred Lord, and then chase straight after Zhao Feng within a couple years.


    However, Zhao Wang obtained some of the other effects that the Eye of Death brought along, such as the vision abilities, the aura of Death, the Intent of Death, and some other comprehensions, just like Zhao Feng had received the reaction speed, half-transparency ability, and super vision when he first merged with the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    While all of this came from the soul, it also applied to his physical attributes. With the Eye of Death, the problems Zhao Wang had regarding the laws of Death were solved, and the rate of his progress in the Yin Lightning Death Manual would increase.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng sensed from Zhao Wang that there was indeed a Dimension of Death within the Eye of Death, but Zhao Wang was unable to open it for now.


    Zhao Feng still remembered how the Emperor of Death had summoned three Emperor-ranked spirits of hatred during the Pursuit of Death in the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land. This was one of the Dimension of Death''s abilities.


    "How about you go to the mainland and join a force that cultivates in the Dao of Ghosts¡­? For example, one of Nine Darkness Palace''s subordinate forces."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes shifted as he spoke with a smile.

 1010 The Bronze Coin’s Reaction

    Chapter 1010 - The Bronze Coin''s Reaction


    "How about you go to the mainland and join a force that cultivates in the Dao of Ghosts¡­? For example, one of Nine Darkness Palace''s subordinate forces."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes shifted as he spoke with a smile.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng didn''t specialize in the path that Zhao Wang cultivated. He could only help solve the problems that Zhao Wang had during the early stages.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng didn''t have many resources that had the elements of Death or Yin Lightning. Zhao Feng didn''t even have many resources for himself.


    Joining a force that cultivated the Dao of Ghosts could resolve both of those problems for Zhao Wang. His cultivation speed was very fast, so he also might be able to join the upper echelon quickly and receive important news from Nine Darkness Palace.


    This was a perfect method to enter the enemy''s force. Now that they were at war, Zhao Wang should be able to pass through more easily.


    Zhao Wang left after the decision was made, and Zhao Feng gave him some resources, weapons, and hidden trump cards.


    Zhao Feng entered the Ji Family after Zhao Wang left. Those from the Ji Family immediately went forward to greet him and invite him in.


    "It''s Zhao Feng! Apparently, he entered the ninth floor of the Purple Star Tower!"


    "How is that possible!? He''s still just an Emperor!"


    "No one knows. Maybe he has some kind of secret soul treasure, but many disciples of the Ji Family saw him defeat Ji Chengming in one move!"


    The gazes of those from the Ji Family were attracted by Zhao Feng. Those who had followed Ji Lan to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were full of admiration and respect when they saw Zhao Feng arrive.


    A voice sounded from Sacred Lord Star Demon before he even got close.


    "Zhao Feng, come in!"


    The disciple that led Zhao Feng here left on their own accord.


    "Little Friend Zhao, you''re injured?" Sacred Lord Star Demon looked at Zhao Feng and felt that something was wrong.


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was a lot weaker than when he had left. The disciples of the Ji Family that had come back earlier reported everything; Zhao Feng dealt with those two Sacred Lords extremely easily. Why would he be injured?


    "I''m not going to hide it from Senior ¨C after I left, I managed to cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique!"


    Zhao Feng didn''t hide this from Sacred Lord Star Demon. After all, Sacred Lord Star Demon had already guessed that Zhao Feng would try to cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique.


    "You succeeded?" Sacred Lord Star Demon revealed a stunned and joyful expression. He had analyzed this technique a lot but still had no confidence to succeed.


    The original body of a Sacred Lord would be injured when a clone was made, so it was logical that Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent would become weaker after creating a clone. If Zhao Feng had failed, the injuries he had would be a lot worse; this was why Sacred Lord Star Demon was so certain that Zhao Feng had succeeded.


    "En!" Zhao Feng nodded his head. He was also happy that he managed to successfully cultivate the first level of the Soul Splitting Technique.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon had an excited expression and immediately approached Zhao Feng; "Let me see your clone!"


    He didn''t expect Zhao Feng would be able to reach the requirements and successfully cultivate the Soul Splitting Technique after obtaining the Soul Recovery Divine Technique only a few months ago. Was it because Zhao Feng''s luck was heaven-defying or was it because he was extremely talented?


    "My clone is somewhere else right now." Zhao Feng revealed an apologetic smile.


    Coincidentally, Zhao Feng just made Zhao Wang go to the inner regions of the continent to find a force that cultivated the Dao of Ghosts.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon''s expression faltered before returning to normal. Sacred Lords created clones to multi-task, so it was reasonable for Zhao Feng''s clone to be somewhere else.


    Zhao Feng then talked about some of the things regarding the soul clone to Sacred Lord Star Demon. After receiving this information, Sacred Lord Star Demon might be able to help him create the second level.


    "It''s that effective!?" Sacred Lord Star Demon was extremely surprised.


    After Zhao Feng''s summary, he understood the ability of the soul clone to a certain degree. If it wasn''t for the fact that his chances of success were just too low, Sacred Lord Star Demon would definitely give it a try. He didn''t want to act rashly; now that there was a war going on, no one knew what would happen, and as the Grand Elder of the Ji Family, his life didn''t belong to him alone anymore.


    "How much progress has Little Friend Zhao made in the second level of the Soul Splitting Technique?" Sacred Lord Star Demon asked.


    This technique was not simple and couldn''t be looked at from a normal perspective. It was extremely difficult to improve.


    "Not much progress."


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had almost dropped to the Quasi-Sacred Lord level after cultivating the first level. Even if he did manage to create the second level, Zhao Feng wouldn''t cultivate it right now. Therefore, Zhao Feng only read some other books to expand his knowledge and foundation in order to prepare to create the second level later.


    "Then Little Friend can remain behind to talk with me. I also have something to tell you."


    Sacred Lord Star Demon put the Soul Splitting Technique issue aside for now.


    "The Eighth Prince has told me that he will choose to stand on the Ninth Prince''s side and support the Ninth Prince!" Sacred Lord Star Demon smiled and said.


    This was what he wanted as well. He didn''t want to make the Ji Family leave the Eighth Prince to join the Ninth Prince''s side. Although the Crown Prince trial had ended and it was normal for forces to re-choose who they supported, it would still affect the Ji Family''s reputation to just switch sides.


    "The Eighth Prince?"


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He didn''t expect the Eighth prince to have made a decision so soon after the Crown Prince trial ended.


    Zhao Feng could feel that he played a big part in why the Eighth Prince made this decision. However, this was good as well. The Ninth Prince was still weak, and with the Eighth Prince''s help, his overall strength would approach the Thirteenth Prince''s level.


    Furthermore, the Yu Family also supported the Eighth Prince, and they were one of the main powers fighting at the front line. This meant that the forces supporting the Ninth Prince had something to rely on when they went to the front lines and wouldn''t be targeted by forces from other factions.


    "Does Senior Sacred Lord Star Demon have any news regarding the inheritor of the Eyes of Samsara?" Zhao Feng changed the topic and said in a soft tone.


    This was also one of the main reasons he was here ¨C to find the whereabouts of the Eyes of Samsara. Two months had passed by; if they could find him, then they should have by now.


    "We still haven''t found his location." Sacred Lord Star Demon sighed, and Zhao Feng''s expression darkened. He was ready for this. As expected, someone that acted alone was harder to find. Furthermore, the owner of the Eyes of Samsara was no ordinary person.


    "But I''ve managed to find a place that could be where the owner of the Eyes of Samsara used to live," Sacred Lord Star Demon said.


    "Senior, please tell me!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed.


    "I''ll accompany you." Sacred Lord Star Demon suddenly charged out of the hall and passed through the purple mist while Zhao Feng followed behind.


    Within a day''s time, the two arrived at a sea of green bamboo. There was nothing around apart from a simple bamboo room, a well, a qin stage, a chessboard, some bamboo chairs, and a couple other things.


    "The Intent here is indeed not simple." Zhao Feng could instantly fell what was different about this place when he arrived. Although there were only a few normal items around, they gave off an indescribable aura.


    "The person that used to live here should have left not too long ago," Sacred Lord Star Demon said. If they had come here a while earlier, they might have found something.


    Zhao Feng descended from the sky and walked to the bamboo room. The layout within the bamboo room was very simple; it was clean and tidy and only had a few necessities.


    "It''s very tidy!" Sacred Lord Star Demon said. If the owner of the Eyes of Samsara wanted to hide his tracks, there would obviously be nothing left behind. If it was Sacred Lord Star Demon in his place, he would destroy everything here.


    Zhao Feng didn''t know why, but when he entered the bamboo room, he felt a clean and elegant smell surround him, which slightly affected his emotions. Zhao Feng used his God''s Spiritual Eye to inspect every item within the room but didn''t find anything.


    From the looks of it, the owner of the Eyes of Samsara was a confident and careful person. He had tidied up this place carefully and left no traces behind. Even Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye couldn''t find anything.


    Zhao Feng entered through the front door and exited out the back.


    "Qin?" Zhao Feng looked at a qin with seven green chords on the side.


    The image of an elegant female with a slightly blaming expression suddenly appeared in his mind.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped out from the Misty Spatial World. Within its paws was a bronze coin. This bronze coin wasn''t the one that the little thieving cat used for divination; instead, it was the one that Liu Qinxin had given Zhao Feng on the last floor of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    At this moment in time, the bronze coin sparkled with a faint white light, as if it was about to extinguish at any moment.


    Zhao Feng was completely stunned. This bronze coin had always been in the Misty Spatial World. Why would it give off a light for no reason?


    Zhao Feng held the coin in his hand and felt the summoning within it.


    "This qin!" Zhao Feng approached the green qin and lightly stroked it.


    Unfortunately, he didn''t know how to play it, so he could only release a few random sounds.


    Several bronze coins suddenly appeared in the little thieving cat''s paws, and it threw them into the air with a few clattering sounds.


    "What does all of this mean?"


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes. Why did the bronze coin react when he found the place where the owner of the Eyes of Samsara used to live? Furthermore, this seemed to be just a normal qin, so why was the coin reacting?


    This could be the qin that the owner of the Eyes of Samsara used. Could the bronze coin be telling Zhao Feng that the Eyes of Samsara could help him find Liu Qinxin? Or was there something else¡­?


    Zhao Feng gripped the bronze coin tightly in his hand and thought for a long time but was unable to understand.


    The bronze coin in the center of his palm suddenly started to release a white light, and Zhao Feng could feel an indescribable power of destiny extending to a certain place.


    Zhao Feng extended his arm and slowly moved it. At a certain moment in time, the bronze coin released a faint glow of light for another instant before completely disappearing.


    The power within the bronze coin was all used up.


    "That direction is north¡­."


    Zhao Feng put the bronze coin away and looked north.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon stood behind Zhao Feng and seemed to think about something. He sighed when he saw Zhao Feng''s weird actions, but he didn''t interrupt him.


    "Senior Sacred Lord Star Demon, let''s go back."


    Zhao Feng ascended into the air after a while.


    Zhao Feng stayed at the same place he lived last time he stayed and would visit Sacred Lord Star Demon''s private hall every day. Sacred Lord Star Demon had completely opened his collection to Zhao Feng, and Zhao Feng was completely immersed in a world of souls and eye-bloodline knowledge.


    On a certain day, Zhao Feng came to the Purple Star Tower again. He had now gained access to the Purple Star Tower permanently. One had to know that only the Grand Elders of the Ji Family had this right.

 1011 Heading to the Battlefield

    Chapter 1011 - Heading to the Battlefield


    "Young Master Zhao, please enter," the elder in front of the Purple Star Tower stood up and said respectfully.


    Zhao Feng entered the Purple Star Tower while the other disciples talked amongst themselves.


    Zhao Feng didn''t need to worry about a time limit or a limited number of entries to the Purple Star Tower, so he went straight to the eighth floor, which was suited for Sacred Lords.


    Of course, the effect the eighth floor had on Zhao Feng was much stronger than before.


    Since the eighth floor was a place of cultivation suitable for Sacred Lords, it accommodated those at the beginning, early, and late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. Now that Zhao Feng''s soul had split, his Soul Intent had fallen to the very bottom level of the Mystic Light Realm, while the power of the purple mist on the eighth floor was generally more suitable for someone at least at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    There was a total of five futons on the eighth floor, and all of them were empty.


    "Luckily, the Purple Star Tower can increase the rate at which I refine my Soul Intent."


    Zhao Feng sat on a random futon.


    The Soul Splitting Technique was a soul-refining technique, and the original theory behind this technique was as such: two souls would mean twice the cultivation speed, and the two souls could then merge together again, increasing one''s Soul Intent to another level.


    However, because the soul that Zhao Feng split off had merged with the Eye of Death, it wouldn''t be able to merge back into Zhao Feng''s soul anymore. While the original basis of the Soul Splitting Technique was to refine the soul, in Zhao Feng''s hands, it had become a secret clone skill.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, which he had cultivated to the maximum, and started to multi-task.


    Only 20% of the God Tribulation Lightning in the Demigod head remained. Because he had split his soul, a portion of the God Tribulation Lightning symbols had also been split up. The God Tribulation Lightning was one of Zhao Feng''s strongest killing moves; now that it had been weakened, it had a big effect on Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng split his thoughts up within the dimension of his left eye and started to direct the God Tribulation Lightning into his soul.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng only had a small number of scorched black wood pieces left, and since they had been stored for too long, the power of ancient lightning within them had faded away.


    Without saying anything else, Zhao Feng circulated his Intent and merged the power of ancient lightning into his Lightning Soul Body.


    Time passed by slowly, and Zhao Feng eventually lasted ten hours on the eighth floor before getting up and leaving.


    After returning to his residence, Zhao Feng rested for a while before entering the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "If I want to form a Little World of Illusions, then it''d be best to make it in the Ancient Dream Realm!"


    Zhao Feng had tasted the sweetness of the Little World of Wind Lightning. Even if he hadn''t had an advantage because the Imperial Tombs was an ancient dimension as well, Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning was much more powerful than normal Little Worlds.


    Therefore, it would be best if the Little World of Illusions was on the same level as the Little World of Wind Lightning.


    When Zhao Feng was cultivating last time, he analyzed how to form the Little World of Illusions, and now he could finally do so.


    "The core of the Little World of Illusions shall be you."


    A sparkling white crystal pearl appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. It seemed to contain infinity, and it radiated an alluring power.


    Zhao Feng had obtained this God Crystal in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground. The energy contained within it had been partially used up, but even if there was only 50% of its energy remaining, it was still a treasure to Zhao Feng.


    God Crystals were something that only true Gods could create.


    Hu~ Weng!


    A purple mist appeared around Zhao Feng within the Ancient Dream Realm. There were different structures within it, such as a palace, a castle, a fountain, and more. Above the maze palace, there were dark clouds and booming lightning.


    Zhao Feng''s Little World of Illusions would be extremely condensed in the outside world, but it was transparent in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Weng!


    Zhao Feng first carefully put the God Crystal within it, then he picked out a dark black inkstone that gave off a stunning amount of mental energy from among the other treasures he had obtained in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground. Zhao Feng didn''t know what this stone was, but he could sense that there was nothing wrong with it.


    Zhao Feng put this black inkstone next to the God Crystal.


    He didn''t even know the names of many of the treasures he had obtained in the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground, but Zhao Feng didn''t dare to take them out in front of anyone and learn their value, so he could only leave them there for now.


    ...


    Like this, Zhao Feng kept on going back and forth to Sacred Lord Star Demon''s private hall and the Purple Star Tower. Zhao Feng''s soul strength and knowledge both started to increase, and the creation of his Little World was also progressing.


    More than a month later, Zhao Feng had cultivated the Soul Recovery Divine Technique to the peak 8th level, but the structure of his Little World of Illusions hadn''t been completed yet.


    Creating a Little World was a very complex process. Zhao Feng had spent a year and a half to create his Little World of Wind Lightning. Zhao Feng estimated that he would need at least one more year to create his Little World of Illusions.


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness suddenly moved.


    "Great! Zhao Wang has infiltrated the Darkness Ghost Clan."


    Although Zhao Feng and Zhao Wang were several provinces apart, they could still contact one another. Zhao Wang could even send some images to Zhao Feng.


    A soul clone was much better than a Dark Heart Seal slave in every respect.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Wang had become an inner disciple of the Darkness Ghost Clan by relying on his shocking talent.


    The Darkness Ghost Clan was an important three-star subordinate force of Nine Darkness Palace. Their tests for taking in new disciples was extremely rushed, so Zhao Wang didn''t raise any suspicions at all. However, the laws of the clan were extremely cruel and cold-blooded. The clan closed one eye and kept another open; anything could be done as long as no one was killed.


    "Young Master Zhao, Ji Lan wishes to enter."


    On this day, Ji Lan''s voice sounded from outside Zhao Feng''s residence.


    Zhao Feng pushed open the door.


    "Young Master Zhao, your letter."


    Ji Lan handed over a letter with a complex expression before retreating away.


    Zhao Feng was now the Grand Elder of a normal three-star power and the most important person supporting the current Crown Prince. He was someone that sat on the same level as Sacred Lord Star Demon of the Ji Family.


    She never would have thought that Zhao Feng, who wasn''t even a King when they first met, to reach this level so quickly.


    Ji Lan could only tell herself to put in more effort. After interacting with Zhao Feng, she realized that he never slacked. Even though he had reached such a high level already and was much stronger than those at the same level of cultivation, he still cultivated day and night.


    Zhao Feng ripped open the letter. Within it was a white piece of paper. Zhao Feng instantly put his soul consciousness into it, and a surge of information appeared within his mind.


    "Information from Old Ying!"


    Zhao Feng was stunned.


    The battle between the lord dynasties had been going for ten months, and while the Great Gan Lord Dynasty had summoned the clans to fight for them, that only made the situation even. In this situation, the Crown Prince was sent to the battlefield by the Sacred Emperor and Empress.


    This was so the Crown Prince could raise the morale of the front line as well as train the Crown Prince''s strategic abilities and intelligence.


    "Hehe. Excuses!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but mock.


    If the Ninth Prince stayed in the Imperial Palace, he would be completely safe. The chances of him becoming the Sacred Emperor would be very high. However, if he was to sent to the front lines, accidents could happen.


    "This should have been planned by the other princes and repeated to the Sacred Emperor!"


    Zhao Feng''s tone was low.


    After the Ninth Prince was sent out to the battlefield, the other princes asked to go to the front lines so they could protect their country. If the Ninth Prince was the only one on the front lines, he might still be pretty safe, but now that the other princes were going to the front lines as well, this war was no longer just between the two lord dynasties; it was also an internal battle within the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    The reason Old Ying sent this letter to Zhao Feng was because he wanted Zhao Feng to help the Ninth Prince.


    "I also need to train myself through battle."


    The letter in Zhao Feng''s hands turned into ashes.


    Zhao Feng had killed many people since he started his re-cultivation, but now that his strength had surpassed his previous life, it was time to go out and train himself. Furthermore, Zhao Feng heard that there were battle points, which could be traded for weapons, spiritual pills, or treasures.


    On this day, Zhao Feng came to Sacred Lord Star Demon''s residence.


    "Something like that happened?"


    Sacred Lord Star Demon had a grim expression. This was obviously bad for the Ninth Prince.


    "If Brother Zhao is heading to the front lines, please take a few disciples of the Ji Family with you," Sacred Lord Star Demon requested.


    Most forces were scared to let their peerless geniuses go to the battlefield unless they were like Xuanyuan Wen or Yu Tianhao, who had unparalleled battle-power.


    It was obvious that Sacred Lord Star Demon trusted Zhao Feng and was willing to hand over the geniuses of the Ji Family to Zhao Feng.


    "No problem."


    Although Zhao Feng found this slightly troublesome, he still agreed. After all, he had stayed at the Ji Family for some time, and Sacred Lord Star Demon had taken care of him. Countless precious books had been given to him, as well as the right to enter the Purple Star Tower. Sacred Lord Star Demon had also answered Zhao Feng''s questions and helped analyze the Soul Splitting Technique.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon treated Zhao Feng like his own disciple, and Zhao Feng had done nothing to repay him yet.


    The next day, Ji Wuye, Ji Lan, Ji Tianming ¨C three disciples of the Ji Family ¨C waited for Zhao Feng outside the Ji Family.


    These three members of the Ji Family were very talented, and they were part of the middle-upper echelon of the Ji Family. They were young and lacked experience and knowledge, so they needed to train themselves.


    "Listen to my orders from now on!" Zhao Feng said. He used his God''s Eye to leave three markings on them in case an accident happened to them.


    "Understood!" the three spoke at the same time.


    Zhao Feng easily stayed on the 8th floor of the Purple Star Tower ¨C meant for Sacred Lords ¨C during his stay at the Ji Family. Almost everyone from the Ji Family knew his name.


    The three had no suggestions against Zhao Feng''s coldness or controlling tone. They knew that the Grand Elder had given them this chance to learn, and that it was an opportunity to train themselves.


    Ji Lan''s eyes were tough, and she clenched her fists. Zhao Feng had become her goal, and this was the perfect chance to catch up.


    "Let''s go!"


    Zhao Feng took out the flaming chariot that he hadn''t used for a long time.


    Although the flaming chariot wasn''t any faster than them, it was more convenient. The flaming chariot could perfectly fit them all, and it was going to be a long journey.


    The three members of the Ji Family took turns controlling the flaming chariot, and everyone not controlling the chariot used this long period of time to cultivate or rest.


    "Our destination¡­ the north."

 1012 Familiar Person

    Chapter 1012 - Familiar Person


    On a certain day, a seven-colored light flashed.


    "Senior Zhao, I cultivate the Chaos Yuan Purple Eye Technique, and I don''t understand this part¡­." Ji Tianming, who was the youngest of the group, asked Zhao Feng respectfully for help.


    Ji Tianming was different from Ji Wuye and Ji Lan. This was the first time he had actually interacted with Zhao Feng, so he was the most warm and welcoming. Ji Wuye met Zhao Feng just after the latter''s God Eye evolved, and he lost to Zhao Feng in one move from his disintegration ability. As for Ji Lan, she was Zhao Feng''s enemy in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "Let me have a look at your technique¡­."


    Zhao Feng hadn''t actually cultivated the technique Ji Tianming was talking about, but over the last couple months, he had stayed in the Ji Family and learned some knowledge regarding the Ji Family''s techniques.


    With his stunning ability to copy things, in just a short month or two, his progress was the same as someone else studying for five or six years. Furthermore, the books that Zhao Feng read were very deep, and he also had Sacred Lord Star Demon helping him, so Zhao Feng could be considered a scholar in terms of Soul and eye-bloodline techniques.


    "This is probably because of how you cultivate the Purple Star Eyes¡­." Zhao Feng analyzed this low-levelled skill and was able to find where the problem was.


    Apart from answering the questions of the three Ji Family disciples, Zhao Feng would enter a state of seclusion.


    Many treasures appeared before Zhao Feng in the Misty Spatial World. Zhao Feng had bought a lot of resources within the Heaven''s Legacy City, and they would be enough for him to reach the Mystic Light Realm.


    Zhao Feng started to circulate his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and absorb the energy of Wind, Lightning, and Fire.


    Part of his consciousness within the dimension of his left eye directed the power of God Tribulation Lightning into his Lightning Soul Body. The power of God Tribulation Lightning within the Demigod head kept decreasing.


    Zhao Feng would also occasionally enter the Ancient Dream Realm to work on his Little World of Illusions.


    The flying chariot soon arrived before a Spiritual Palace. Zhao Feng revealed his identity and handed over some Primal Crystal Stones to use the teleportation array and go to the next city.


    "Senior Zhao, the next stop is the Chen Province. It''s known for its Mechanisms Masters and blacksmiths," Ji Tianming told Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng understood what he was trying to say. Although Zhao Feng''s flying chariot was convenient, it was a bit slow, and they could ask some blacksmiths to increase its attributes.


    "That''s a good idea," Zhao Feng agreed to Ji Tianming''s suggestion.


    The flaming flying chariot was not as useful to Zhao Feng as it was before, mainly due to its speed. It was a long journey from the southern region of the continent to the northern region. No one knew how long it would take if they had to use the flaming flying chariot to fly all the way, which only had the speed of a Peak-tier King.


    Several dozen days later, the flying flaming chariot entered the borders of the Chen Province.


    "We''re almost at the Spiritual Palace," Ji Tianming, who was currently controlling the flaming flying chariot, said.


    The others, who were in cultivation, opened their eyes.


    The Great Gan Lord Dynasty had eighteen provinces, and each province had many cities. The most populated places in the cities were large Spiritual Palaces. One could see many experts and flying spiritual pets around the Spiritual Palaces. There were even flying items like Zhao Feng''s chariot.


    Sou!


    A black figure flashed by Zhao Feng''s flying flaming chariot, and two figures followed closely behind.


    "Emperor Ghost Scales, let''s see where you can run to!"


    "Just give up already!"


    A white figure and a black figure were chasing from behind. They were both Emperors, and the aura that the black figure gave off made the nearby people move aside.


    Everyone was used to this. No fighting was allowed within the Spiritual Palace, so there were all types of people, including those who had committed many crimes and those who were escaping capture or confinement.


    Zhao Feng didn''t put this in his eyes, but the words spoken by the middle-aged white-clad person alarmed him. Zhao Feng''s eyes changed slightly as he scanned over with his Spiritual Sense.


    "Stop!" Zhao Feng''s voice suddenly rang.


    Weng!


    A powerful Intent descended onto Heaven and Earth and covered the three figures. The speed of all three instantly slowed down, and Emperor Ghost Scales at the very front felt like he had entered a swamp.


    "Who are you? Why are you interrupting the issues of the Divine Official Gate!?" The Emperor in black had a grim expression as he looked at Zhao Feng. He was certain that he hadn''t met Zhao Feng before. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng''s strength was also at the peak Emperor level, on par with himself.


    "What''s going on?" Emperor Ghost Scales, who was looking ruffled, looked at the golden-haired youth who suddenly interrupted them. He didn''t recognize Zhao Feng, but now that Zhao Feng had stopped them, Emperor Ghost Scales would do anything as long as he could live.


    The expressions of the three Ji Family disciples also faltered. They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to care about this small matter.


    "Let him go!" Zhao Feng said.


    He didn''t expect to see someone from the Cang Ocean here. Emperor Ghost Scales was the same King Ghost Scales from the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land.


    Back when Zhao Feng was being pursued by the Emperor of Death and went to the Eighteen Corners Pirate Sacred Land for help, King Ghost Scales, the Cold Moon Emperor, and the Giant Shark King had helped him block the Emperor of Death. Zhao Feng still hadn''t repaid this favor yet.


    "This¡­" Emperor Ghost Scales'' expression changed. He didn''t expect this young Emperor to actually help him. Emperor Ghost Scales only just came to the continent zone and didn''t recall meeting anyone.


    The middle-aged person in white had a grim expression. He didn''t expect Emperor Ghost Scales to be so lucky and meet a friend. Furthermore, he seemed to recognize the golden-haired youth a little bit.


    "You''re a bit too full of yourself, aren''t you!?" the Emperor in black roared.


    He could tell that Zhao Feng was not simple since he had such great strength at such a young age, but there were too many people watching. If he let Emperor Ghost Scales leave just like that, all the face of his clan would be lost.


    While the Divine Official Gate was just a peak two-star power, their Grand Elder would be able to become a Sacred Lord within a hundred years.


    "Come with me." Zhao Feng didn''t care about the two Emperors and spoke to Emperor Ghost Scales directly.


    "Young Master, thank you!" Emperor Ghost Scales'' expression changed. Although he felt that there was something off, there was nothing else he could do. Besides, Emperor Ghost Scales could feel that this youth in front of him had no enmity with him, and the other three on the flying chariot were all elites as well.


    Emperor Ghost Scales immediately flew toward Zhao Feng, and the expressions of the two Emperors from the Divine Official Gate became ugly.


    "You''re courting death!" The Emperor in black attacked, causing True Yuan to ripple through space nearby.


    He could tell that Zhao Feng and the other disciples of the Ji Family were unusual, so he didn''t attack them. Instead, he punched toward Emperor Ghost Scales.


    The sky instantly became dark as black beams of light blinked around the black-robed Emperor''s fist.


    "How dare you not listen to my warning!" Zhao Feng''s expression became cold as he released a surge of Soul Intent and formed a dark purple crystalline spike that shot into the black-robed Emperor''s mind, and the symbols of God Tribulation Lightning on the spike flashed.


    "Arghhhh!"


    A scream sounded in the soul-dimension, and the nearby experts all felt the aura of an Emperor being killed.


    The body of the black-robed Emperor fell.


    Sii!


    The nearby spectating experts all took in cold breaths.


    The Emperor in white robes felt a coldness spreading from the bottom of his feet across his body, and he hiccupped. The black-robed Emperor had been instantly killed by Zhao Feng just like that!


    Emperor Ghost Scales trembled as he looked at Zhao Feng, and he felt that this youth was rather scary. However, he suddenly thought of another youth who was similar to this golden-haired youth.


    "Tell the leader of the Divine Official Gate to apologize to me within ten days'' time!" Zhao Feng''s tone was cold as he looked at the Emperor in white.


    If these Emperors knew what was good for them, Zhao Feng would have let this go. He didn''t put a measly peak two-star power in his eyes.


    One of the main reasons he killed that person was because Zhao Feng could tell that Emperor Ghost Scales had severe injuries, and many of them were left behind a long time ago. He could tell that Emperor Ghost Scales had been chased for a long time, so he did this to allow King Ghost Scales to let out a breath.


    The white-robed Emperor then started to run away in a rush.


    "King Ghost Scales, we haven''t met for a long time. I didn''t expect you to come to the continent zone."


    Zhao Feng looked at Emperor Ghost Scales.


    "You are¡­ Zhao Feng?"


    When Emperor Ghost Scales heard those words, he thought about the Cang Ocean. He thought about how this youth attacked as well as his image.


    Back then, Emperor Ghost Scales was still just a Peak-tier King, but he eventually became an Emperor within a couple years of reaching the continent.


    Emperor Ghost Scales then followed Zhao Feng and entered the Spiritual Palace.


    "Ji Wuye, I''ll leave the task of upgrading the flying flaming chariot to you then."


    Zhao Feng handed over this task to Ji Wuye, who was the most mature and intelligent of the three.


    Upgrading the flying flaming chariot would probably require some time, so the three from the Ji Family left and entered the Spiritual Palace to buy whatever they needed.


    "Zhao Feng, thank you!" Emperor Ghost Scales had a joyful expression and expressed his thanks to Zhao Feng.


    "Why were they chasing after you?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "I found the tomb of a Sacred Lord by accident when I arrived at the continent¡­." Emperor Ghost Scales sighed as he started to tell his tale.


    In reality, several other pirate captains had come with Emperor Ghost Scales. They found the tomb of a Sacred Lord by accident, and while they were fighting for the inheritance, they killed a disciple of the Divine Official Gate. King Ghost Scales and the Divine Official Gate both managed to obtain some stuff from the inheritance, and the Divine Official Gate chased after Emperor Ghost Scales and company until only Emperor Ghost Scales was left alive.


    "This Divine Official Gate¡­!" Zhao Feng''s expression became grim.


    He originally thought that Emperor Ghost Scales may have done something wrong and brought this upon himself, but he still decided to help Emperor Ghost Scales first since he owed the latter a favor.


    "Zhao Feng, I can''t believe you''ve accomplished so much in the continent already!"


    Emperor Ghost Scales revealed a joyful expression as awe and admiration flashed through his eyes. He had heard about the miracles of a Zhao Feng in the Crown Prince trial before, but he thought that it was just someone with the same name.


    As expected, no matter where Zhao Feng went, he was unable to hide his talent.


    Zhao Feng told Emperor Ghost Scales about the story of his re-cultivation. Emperor Ghost Scales had just come to the continent, so he didn''t have a force behind him and didn''t know that Zhao Feng had to re-cultivate. However, with Emperor Ghost Scales'' attitude, it wasn''t really suitable for him to join a clan.


    After learning that Zhao Feng was going to the front lines, he said that he also wanted to follow Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng would obviously not reject this offer.


    Zhao Feng received Ji Wuye''s message five days later that the flying flaming chariot had been successfully upgraded.


    "We can get ready to leave now."

 1013 Province Teleportation Array

    Chapter 1013 - Province Teleportation Array


    Zhao Feng and Emperor Ghost Scales passed through the crowded Spiritual Palace and soon arrived at a magnificent forging hall.


    The instant they arrived, they saw an enormous black-and-white metallic warship. It almost took up the entire hall, and it was covered in an unusual array. The structure of the array lines on it was extremely similar to that of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    Zhao Feng was able to see through this black-and-white warship with his left eye, and he realized that many aspects of the ship had been added on after it was first constructed.


    "Looks like Ji Wuye''s management skills aren''t too bad."


    Zhao Feng could tell how skilled this Blacksmith-Array Grandmaster was from this product alone.


    "Probably only three-star superpowers would be able to use such a flying warship." Emperor Ghost Scales sighed with awe.


    Who knew how many times better this warship was compared to the one he used to own? After being a pirate for several hundred years, Emperor Ghost Scales had a unique passion for ships.


    Emperor Ghost Scales and Zhao Feng entered a side plaza. The interior of this plaza had its own dimension, and while it seemed very small, it was very big on the inside.


    "Senior Zhao, I have upgraded the flying chariot as you commanded!" Ji Wuye went forward.


    The other two disciples of the Ji Family were present as well, and they had joyful expressions as they surrounded the new flying flaming chariot.


    Zhao Feng walked forward and inspected the newly-upgraded flying flaming chariot.


    "According to your requirements, this flying chariot from the Heaven''s Legacy Race has been strengthened in every respect, and it has now reached the level of a peak Emperor," a Blacksmith-Array Grandmaster introduced with a faint smile as he stood next to the flying chariot. These guests were all young and were already Emperors. For them to also have a complete item from the Heaven''s Legacy Race, they were definitely not simple.


    Zhao Feng saw that the flying chariot was very different from before. Firstly, the size of the flying chariot had increased, so it could fit more people. Secondly, some of the mechanisms on the back of the flying chariot had been perfected, and a pair of wings had also been added to the side of the flying chariot, increasing its agility.


    "If you have any more substandard God Crystals, you can put two onto the wings and increase the speed of the flying chariot to the level of a Sacred Lord!" the Blacksmith-Array Grandmaster added.


    He obviously noticed the substandard God crystals when upgrading this flying chariot, so he made some adaptions with them in mind.


    "Substandard God crystals¡­!" Emperor Ghost Scales took in a deep breath. Even Sacred Lords wouldn''t want to use substandard God crystals on a mere flying item. Furthermore, two of them had to be used at once?


    However, from what the Blacksmith-Array Grandmaster said, it seemed as if Zhao Feng used substandard God crystals to start the flying flaming chariot anyways.


    "Speed of a Sacred Lord!" Zhao Feng was slightly moved. He didn''t expect that the flying chariot would be able to reach such a speed. However, substandard God crystals weren''t something to be used casually, so he would need to think about it first.


    "This is the most I can do to this flying chariot. Since this flying chariot is from the Heaven''s Legacy Race, the price is extremely high ¨C two inheritance Sacred weapons!" Grandmaster Jin told Zhao Feng the price of upgrading this flying chariot.


    Emperor Ghost Scales had a dazed expression. He and his friends had risked their lives for just one inheritance Sacred weapon, and now Zhao Feng merely upgrading a flying chariot required two?


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Every aspect of the flying flaming chariot had reached the limit. This price was very reasonable.


    Right as Zhao Feng was about to pay:


    "Grandmaster Jin, sorry for interrupting you," an old yet powerful voice sounded from outside, and a skinny elder with several members behind him walked into the plaza''s dimension.


    "Divine Official Gate!"


    Hatred and anger surged in Emperor Ghost Scales'' heart as he looked at the white-robed Emperor amongst them.


    "This¡­ is the Grand Elder of the Divine Official Gate!" Grandmaster Jin faltered.


    The Grand Elder of the Divine Official Gate had brought many Elders and Regulators here. Were they going to cause trouble? From Emperor Ghost Scales'' expression, he could tell that these guests had offended the Divine Official Gate.


    Grandmaster Jin sighed and prepared to warn those from the Divine Official Gate. Although the other party was a Grand Elder of a two-star power and a Quasi-Sacred Lord, this was a Spiritual Palace and it had the City Lord Palace backing it up, so Grandmaster Jin wasn''t scared at all.


    However, before he could speak, the Grand Elder of the Divine Official Gate spoke and completely dazzled him.


    "Little Friend Zhao, this old man is here to apologize to this friend." The skinny elder put his hands together and bowed deeply toward Emperor Ghost Scales.


    "All of you, kneel down!" the skinny elder roared.


    Plop!


    The other Emperors all instantly knelt down on the ground.


    "So, you''re the person in charge of the Divine Official Gate?" Zhao Feng walked forward with an indifferent expression and looked at this Quasi-Sacred Lord and the other Emperors.


    "Zhao Feng¡­!" Grandmaster Jin was stunned. No wonder this golden-haired and golden-eyed youth was so familiar; he was Zhao Feng, the one who helped the Ninth Prince become the Crown Prince.


    "Little Friend Zhao, please calm down. These people from my force don''t recognize Mount Tai. I brought them here this time to apologize. You can do whatever you want with them!" The skinny elder was extremely obedient.


    Someone from within the clan had recognized Zhao Feng from the images in the white-robed Emperor''s memories. Zhao Feng was the Grand Elder of the three-star Ocean Smoke Pavilion. Apparently, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, the Ghost Fire Clan, and Eight Star Tower were all three-star subordinate forces. The Divine Official Gate, which was only a two-star power, was nothing in comparison.


    Apart from that, many reports said that Zhao Feng himself had the ability to kill Sacred Lords after the end of the Crown Prince trial.


    Because of all that, the skinny elder could only use such a plan and bring all the members that had once chased after Emperor Ghost Scales over. He believed that Zhao Feng wouldn''t be so ruthless and kill all of them. After all, they were still within the Spiritual Palace.


    "Emperor Ghost Scales, forgive us!"


    "We made such grave mistakes because we were blinded by treasure!"


    The members of the Divine Official Gate knelt on the ground and begged Emperor Ghost Scales for forgiveness.


    Emperor Ghost Scales looked at the Emperors kneeling on the ground. He could still remember the arrogant and almighty expressions these people had, but now they were all kneeling in front of him.


    Emperor Ghost Scales thought about the pirates that had come with him to the continent, and killing intent appeared in his heart.


    "Emperor Ghost Scales, we''re willing to hand over the inheritance we obtained the other day and pay for all the fees of upgrading this flying item," the skinny elder immediately said after seeing killing intent flash through Emperor Ghost Scales'' eyes.


    Emperor Ghost Scales and the Divine Official Gate had each obtained one half of the inheritance of the Sacred Lord. Now, the Divine Official Gate had to give Emperor Ghost Scales the half that they had obtained.


    "If you are willing, the Divine Official Gate will now be a subordinate force of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion!" Zhao Feng walked forward and said while patting Emperor Ghost Scales.


    Now that Zhao Feng was supporting the Ninth Prince, killing people in the Spiritual Palace would leave a bad name for the Ninth Prince.


    "This¡­ the Divine Official Gate is willing to become a subordinate force of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion!" The skinny elder hesitated for a while before gritting his teeth and speaking.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s go." Emperor Ghost Scales didn''t speak, he just turned around and left. Zhao Feng hadn''t just saved him, Zhao Feng even made these people kneel in front of him and admit their wrongdoings. This was something that he couldn''t have even thought of in the past.


    All of this was due to Zhao Feng, so he couldn''t cause more trouble for Zhao Feng.


    "You will pay the fee to upgrade the flying transport item."


    Zhao Feng took away the brand-new flying flaming chariot and left this place with Emperor Ghost Scales and the three from the Ji Family.


    "Grand Elder, how can you agree to Zhao Feng''s terms?" The white-robed Emperor got up after Zhao Feng and company left.


    "Yeah, Grand Elder, Zhao Feng won''t dare to kill us in the Spiritual Palace!" Another Emperor revealed a disdainful expression.


    "He might not kill you, but what if he cripples you!?" the skinny elder roared and continued to speak, "The Ocean Smoke Pavilion supports the Crown Prince and is expanding rapidly. If the Crown Prince becomes the Sacred Emperor, then the Divine Official Gate is obviously willing to be the Ocean Smoke Pavilion''s subordinate force.


    "Hmph¡­ I''m sure you all know what is happening between Nine Darkness Palace and Ocean Smoke Pavilion though. If Nine Darkness Palace attacks Zhao Feng and the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, then we will be set free." The skinny elder snickered coldly as he looked at this group of people without brains.


    The remaining Emperors blinked when they heard what the Grand Elder said.


    "Grand Elder has everything thought out!" The white-robed Emperor revealed a cunning smile.


    "Grandmaster Jin, how much was the fee to upgrade Zhao Feng''s flying item?" the skinny elder asked.


    "Two inheritance Sacred weapons," Grandmaster Jin replied honestly.


    "What!?" The skinny elder almost coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood, but the Spiritual Palace wouldn''t trick people. Furthermore, Grandmaster Jin was an extremely famous Blacksmith-Array Grandmaster.


    "This brat used so much just to upgrade a flying item?"


    The skinny elder and several Emperors finally managed to squeeze together this fee.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and company sat on the completely new flying flaming chariot and left the Spiritual Palace with a flash of chaotic seven-colored light.


    "What speed!" Ji Tianming exclaimed.


    This flying flaming chariot could easily carry the five of them, and its speed surpassed peak Emperors. It was more than twice as fast as before, which dramatically reduced the time of their journey.


    "Maybe we can meet the Ninth Prince and Old Ying on the way," Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    The Ninth Prince and Old Ying had left a month or two earlier than Zhao Feng. With Zhao Feng and company''s current speed, they might be able to meet the Ninth Prince and company before they arrived at the battlefield. After all, their goal was the same, and the route was roughly the same as well.


    A month later, the group arrived at the center of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "Senior Zhao, I heard that the Spiritual Palace within the Imperial City of the Gan Province has already built a Province Teleportation Array," Ji Tianming said.


    "Oh? A Province Teleportation Array¡­?"


    The Province Teleportation Array could directly pass through several dozen city arrays.


    The Imperial City was located in the Gan Province, and it was probably the first to build a Province Teleportation Array.


    Crossing a province directly should be able to save them about a month''s time.


    Zhao Feng and company arrived at the center of the Imperial City. The Province Teleportation Array was built in the very center of the Spiritual Palace, and it was guarded by the three-star forces under the imperials.


    "From the looks of it, we don''t have the right to use the Province Teleportation Array."


    Ji Tianming looked into the distance. Countless guards in black armor floated above a magnificent hall. Each one of them had the cultivation of a half-step King, and some radiated several powerful auras.


    "Let''s give this a try."


    Zhao Feng flied forward, and the others could only follow after him.


    "Please show your identity. This is the Province Teleportation Array. Those that aren''t an imperial or part of a peak three-star power aren''t to approach!" A black-armored guard immediately came forward when he saw Zhao Feng and company arrive.

 1014 Imperial Sky Token

    Chapter 1014 - Imperial Sky Token


    "Please show your identity. This is the Province Teleportation Array. Those that aren''t an imperial or part of a peak three-star power aren''t to approach!" A group of black-armored guards immediately came forward when he saw Zhao Feng and company arrive.


    Zhao Feng and company were slightly surprised. Anyone not part of a peak three-star power or the imperials weren''t able to use this Province Teleportation Array?


    Emperor Ghost Scales took in a deep breath. For him, the imperials and peak three-star powers were existences at the very top of the continent ¨C something that he could only look at but never touch.


    "We''re part of the Ji Family ¨C one of the Eight Big Families ¨C and this senior is the Grand Elder of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion!" Ji Tianming said.


    "One of the Eight Big Families and Grand Elder Zhao Feng of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion?" The eyes of the black-armored guard leader twinkled as he sent out some Intent.


    A middle-aged muscular male in black armor appeared in front of the group of people, and an invisible pressure spread through the air.


    What a powerful body! He''s reached the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord! Emperor Ghost Scales was secretly stunned.


    He felt extremely pressured just facing this black-armored male. The battle-power of this black-armored male might be even higher than the Grand Elder of the Divine Official Gate.


    "What do you want?" The muscular black-armored middle-aged male asked. It was obvious that the Ji Family of the Eight Big Families had quite a bit of power, and Zhao Feng''s name was pretty famous as well.


    "We want to use the Province Teleportation Array!" Zhao Feng said.


    "Do you have the allowance of the imperials or a peak three-star power?" the black-armored male asked.


    Only those with a noble identity from the imperials were allowed to use the Province Teleportation Array, but there were exceptions, such as those that were given orders.


    "Because if you don''t, then you aren''t allowed to use the Province Teleportation Array!"


    The black-armored male had a decisive look to him, and the three from the Ji Family started to sulk.


    Zhao Feng thought for a while. This place wasn''t too far from the Imperial Palace, but he didn''t know many people in the palace.


    "Is this okay?"


    A square golden token with a dragon engraved on it suddenly appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. The dragon''s eyes sparkled, and an invisible surge of draconic providence gathered toward him.


    This was the token that the Ninth Prince had given Zhao Feng after the Crown Prince trial ended, and he said that it could allow Zhao Feng to enter and exit the Imperial Palace as he wished since the Imperial Palace was currently in a unique situation.


    Zhao Feng had only taken this token out to give it a try.


    "That''s the Imperial Sky Token!" The black-armored male''s expression changed.


    "Senior Zhao actually has an Imperial Sky Token!?" Ji Tianming was stunned.


    Ji Lan and Ji Wuye also had shocked expressions as they looked at the golden dragon token in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    From the looks of it, this token is much more important than I expected. Zhao Feng could now see how valuable this token was.


    "Since you have the Imperial Sky Token, you should have the right to use this array!"


    The black-armored male led Zhao Feng and company into the great hall. While they were walking, Ji Tianming told Zhao Feng the history of the Imperial Sky Token.


    Only the Sacred Emperor had the right to distribute Imperial Sky Tokens, and they were usually only given to the princes or those with a lot of power. It meant a lot of things.


    The Imperial Sky Token that Zhao Feng had was the Ninth Prince''s, which meant that he symbolized the Ninth Prince himself. Even if one had an Imperial Sky Token, they didn''t have the right to use the Province Teleportation Array, but the Ninth Prince was different; he was now the Crown Prince, meaning that the value of his Imperial Sky Token increased by another level.


    "Elder Bing, Zhao Feng has the Ninth Prince''s Imperial Sky Token and wishes to use the Province Teleportation Array," the black-armored male said in a respectful tone.


    "Allowed!" an old voice resounded across the great hall.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled, and he looked in the direction of a room behind the great hall where an elder was sitting down.


    "Come with me to write down a record," the black-armored male said.


    Anyone that didn''t belong to the imperials or a peak three-star power and had to use a different method had to leave a record. Only by writing the record and paying a large number of peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones would Zhao Feng and company be allowed to use this array.


    Weng~ Weng~~


    White light started to flash around the ancient and large array stage. Countless silver array lines started to extend across the stage, and a flash of white light covered the group of people as they started to fade away.


    At the same time, in a large city in another part of Feng Province:


    Weng!


    Zhao Feng and company appeared on an old array stage.


    The moment they appeared, Emperor Ghost Scales and those from the Ji Family felt uncomfortable and almost fell to the ground. The loss of pressure and the sensation caused by the spatial disturbance from the Province Teleportation Array was too big. Even Zhao Feng felt slightly uncomfortable.


    Everyone appeared in the Spiritual Palace of a large city, and the array stage below them was one used for normal teleportations.


    "Looks like the Province Teleportation Array only goes one way," Ji Wuye said in a low tone.


    This meant that, while Province Teleportation Arrays could connect to the normal teleportation arrays in the other provinces, the other teleportation arrays couldn''t return to the Province Teleportation Array in the Imperial City.


    "Feng Province!" Zhao Feng murmured these two words.


    This was the territory of the Duanmu Family. Although the Duanmu Family disliked Zhao Feng, they couldn''t stop Zhao Feng from using the array here.


    Zhao Yufei was still being kept in the dark about the marriage situation, but Zhao Feng believed that the Duanmu Family wouldn''t be able to hide it for very long.


    "Let''s go!"


    The group of people sat on the flying flaming chariot and left behind a trail of seven-colored fumes as they left at a very fast speed.


    Before they left the Spiritual Palace, Zhao Feng''s left arm shook slightly and left behind a marking with the Misty Spatial World.


    In reality, Zhao Feng would do this when he arrived at each province. This meant that he wouldn''t need to use the teleportation arrays in the future since he could just use the Misty Spatial World instead to pass through each province. However, with Zhao Feng''s current strength, it would be a bit difficult for him to pass directly to another province, especially if he had others with him.


    Since they used the Province Teleportation Array to head toward the front lines, the time they needed to reach their destination was heavily reduced. Adding on the fact that the flying flaming chariot was travelling at max speed, they would be able to reach their destination within three months.


    Everyone started to become excited for some reason.


    ¡­


    The others had all improved a lot under Zhao Feng''s guidance. Amongst them, Emperor Ghost Scales had improved the most.


    He originally obtained the Inheritance Sacred weapon from the tomb of that Sacred Lord, whereas the Divine Official Gate obtained the skills and secret techniques. However, Emperor Ghost Scales now had both of them. Adding on the fact that Zhao Feng had given him some cultivation resources, Emperor Ghost Scales could already unleash half of the Inheritance Sacred weapon''s power, and his battle-power had increased dramatically.


    Zhao Feng''s figure suddenly appeared in the Misty Spatial World alongside a pile of scorched wood and branches. He had been forming his Little World of Illusions within the Ancient Dream Realm and met a storm.


    "My luck is pretty good."


    Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression.


    The power of God Tribulation Lightning within the Demigod''s head had almost been completely used up, but luckily, Zhao Feng now had another source of lightning ¨C the ancient lightning from the Ancient Dream Realm. However, the weather in the Ancient Dream Realm changed randomly, and he could only depend on luck to meet a storm. In addition, the power of ancient lightning couldn''t be preserved for a very long time.


    Without saying anything else, Zhao Feng sat down and started to direct the power of the ancient lightning within the scorched wood into his Lightning Soul Body.


    "We''re almost there." Ji Lan, who was currently controlling the flying flaming chariot, looked into the distance. They were less than one province away from the front lines of the battlefield.


    Whoosh!


    At a certain moment, the aura of a Quasi-Sacred Lord appeared from above.


    The newcomer was a middle-aged person wearing purple robes. He glanced down toward the group of people in the flying flaming chariot and slowed down, but he didn''t stay for too long before leaving.


    Their group soon met a large flying spiritual pet. Three males with cold gazes stood on it, and two of them were Quasi-Sacred Lords.


    "Hmm?" One of them had red hair, and he revealed a weird expression when he noticed the flying flaming chariot.


    There were only four people aboard the flying flaming chariot, and all of them were only at the level of a peak Emperor at most. However, the speed of this flying chariot was much faster than their spiritual pet.


    Everyone knew that the price of a flying machine was much higher than a flying spiritual pet because a flying machine could fit more people and required less power. It also didn''t need to rest, so large flying machines were extremely precious.


    "Boss, should we take action against them?" One of the males revealed a gruesome expression and laughed.


    Zhao Feng suddenly appeared within the flying flaming chariot, and his faint golden hair blew with the wind while his golden left eye looked extremely mysterious.


    "Don''t cause too much trouble. There are too many hidden experts here." The red-haired male became wary when he saw Zhao Feng appear out of nowhere and shook his head. His experience and instinct had accumulated after several hundred years of walking on the tip of a knife, and it told him that this youth was definitely not simple.


    Hu! Hu!


    The large spiritual pet started to slowly fly away.


    On top of the flying flaming chariot:


    "This place looks really chaotic." Emperor Ghost Scales licked his lips as excitement flashed through his eyes. This place reminded him of the days when he was a pirate.


    "In front of us is the Spiritual Palace."


    Their group arrived before a noisy and chaotic hall.


    Before they even got close, they saw two forces fighting against each another. The weakest one was a Domain-level King.


    "This place isn''t merely chaotic." Zhao Feng gave a look around and saw that there were many fierce and evil looking people within the shops.


    One didn''t need to pay an entrance fee, and there were no limitations on flying pets or machines. One could say that this was a Spiritual Palace with no one in control of it.


    The instant Zhao Feng''s flying flaming chariot arrived, many greedy gazes were attracted to it.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several figures slowly flew toward them from the front.


    "Sigh, I didn''t think that the teleportation array here would be broken."


    "That''s normal. The teleportation arrays near the battlefield are used very frequently. Let''s go to the Spiritual Palace in Duhai City next time."


    The three shook their heads and sighed as they admitted their defeat.


    "Senior Zhao, the teleportation array here is broken. Why don''t we just fly over?" Ji Lan slowed down the flying flaming chariot.


    Since the flying flaming chariot was very fast, they didn''t need much time to head to the battlefield.


    Zhao Feng gazed toward the teleportation hall in front. The doors were closed, and there were many guards around.


    From the looks of it, all the forces belonging to the City Lord were concentrated in the teleportation hall.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Just as Ji Lan was about to turn the flying flaming chariot around:


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulders and took out the Imperial Sky Token.


    At this moment, draconic providence moved around the Imperial Sky Token, and the faint roar of a dragon could be heard from it. It was very different from the past.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng took the Imperial Sky Token and put his Spiritual Sense into it. A sensation instantly entered his mind.


    "This is¡­? Not good!" Zhao Feng suddenly raised his head, and his golden left eye locked onto the teleportation hall in the distance.


    Zhao Feng saw through the surface of the Spiritual Palace and the barrier separating it from the outside world. Old Ying and the Ninth Prince were right there in the Spiritual Palace!

 1015 Ambush in the Hall

    Chapter 1015 - Ambush in the Palace


    Within the hall where the teleportation array was located, the Ninth Prince and Old Ying were surrounded by five people in black clothes. Draconic providence surrounded the Ninth Prince and increased his battle-power to the level of a Sacred Lord. He held an ancient green sword of lightning and slashed forward, sending a bolt of lightning into the sky.


    "Petty tricks!"


    A male wearing a black mask and holding a dark green dagger sliced gently through the air, and a wicked surge of Sacred Power crushed the lightning.


    "This isn''t good." Old Ying stood behind the Ninth Prince. Blood dripped from his chest, and around them both were the bodies of more than a dozen guards.


    Although the Ninth Prince''s battle-power had reached the level of a Sacred Lord by relying on his draconic providence, he still wasn''t a match for this male with a mask.


    Apart from the male with a mask, the remaining people in black had all reached the level of Quasi-Sacred Lords, and they were ranked around 20th on the assassination rankings of Black Screen Corner.


    Black and white Mystic Power raged in the air above the hall as explosions sounded continuously. A large array surrounded the hall and blocked the shockwaves from the fight as well as everything inside it.


    "Sacred Lord Cang Qiong, you will die here today as well!" A skinny male wearing dark gray armor and holding a black spear suddenly thrust out with the spear.


    Bam! Bam!


    A blur of black spears stabbed forward in the hall.


    "Sacred Lord Black Shark, who sent you here to assassinate the Ninth Prince!?" Sacred Lord Cang Qiong quickly slashed forward with his crystalline white sword, sending beams of white sword-light toward the flashes of black spears thrust out by Sacred Lord Black Shark.


    Sacred Lord Black Shark was a Sacred Lord who was ranked among the top ten assassins of Black Screen Corner. He was different from other assassins; Sacred Lord Black Shark was bloodthirsty and finished off his targets with raw power.


    "Stop talking so much nonsense!" Sacred Lord Black Shark harrumphed in disdain as he stabbed out with his spear, and a ball of black light with a dark aura shook the air as it arrived in front of Sacred Lord Cang Qiong.


    Boom! Bam!


    Sacred Lord Cang Qiong was sent flying into the array behind himself.


    "Sacred Lord Cang Qiong!" Old Ying''s eyes were dim.


    Their journey here had been safe, but he didn''t expect the danger to be hidden until the last moment. The assassins hid themselves here waiting for the Ninth Prince and took control of the entire teleportation hall. All the guards apart from Sacred Lord Cang Qiong had been killed. An extremely skillful array had been set up around the hall, and it blocked out all the noise and power inside. Those outside probably didn''t even know what was happening here.


    "White Flowing Sword Technique!" Sacred Lord Cang Qiong charged forward once more, displaying extremely profound Sword Intent. At the same time, he merged the projection of his Little World into reality. The entire hall seemed to be covered in limitless white light as Sword Intent shot into the sky.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Countless images of white swords followed Sacred Lord Cang Qiong''s momentum and stabbed toward Sacred Lord Black Shark.


    "Break!" A wave of chaotic darkness suddenly appeared behind Sacred Lord Black Shark and destroyed all the images of white sword-light. The power of Sacred Lord Cang Qiong''s Little World projection was also somewhat damaged.


    "Not good, Sacred Lord Cang Qiong is about to be defeated!" Old Ying felt solemn.


    Sacred Lord Cang Qiong wasn''t a match for Sacred Lord Black Shark, and the Ninth Prince wouldn''t be able to stand very long against the masked male.


    "Old Ying, don''t worry! Help is on the way!" The Ninth Prince suddenly revealed a joyful expression.


    Old Ying faltered for a moment. They had been trapped in here for quite a while now. If there were people coming here to save them, they would have come long ago.


    "Hehehe, you''re still depending on others to save you!?" The masked male smiled mockingly.


    The array around the hall didn''t just block all noise and power, it also stopped Spiritual Senses. Their plan was extremely well thought out. No accidents could happen.


    The masked male suddenly charged forward, and his dark green dagger glittered with a coldness as it moved silently around the Ninth Prince.


    However, at the next moment:


    Boom!


    The entrance to the hall was blasted open. Several guards in black armor were deformed by the terrifying force.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng smashed straight through the array and charged inside while the members of the Ji Family and Emperor Ghost Scales stalled the other black-armored guards.


    "Who''s there!?" The black-clad assassins in front of the Ninth Prince exclaimed. Sacred Lord Black Shark and the masked male also paused for a moment.


    "Zhao Feng!" The Ninth Prince cried out with joy.


    A moment ago, he felt the existence of his Imperial Sky Token. He had given his Imperial Sky Token to Zhao Feng, and this was why he knew that he was going to be saved.


    Old Ying had a surprised expression. Why was Zhao Feng here? At the same time, he realized that the array seemed to break very easily from the outside.


    "Hmph, since you''ve come in, you''ll have no opportunity to leave!" Sacred Lord Black Shark harrumphed in anger as he messaged some other people. At the same time, the masked male and the others in black who were surrounding the Ninth Prince and Old Ying left them behind and charged toward Zhao Feng.


    They knew Zhao Feng''s true strength, but they had one Sacred Lord and four Quasi-Sacred Lords. They would definitely be able to suppress Zhao Feng.


    Peng! Peng! Boom!


    Sacred Lord Black Shark suddenly released more power and charged toward Sacred Lord Cang Qiong in a frenzy, as if he wanted to finish the fight as soon as possible.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re also one of the targets of Black Corner Screen. This means that we can finish two top-ten targets at the same time." The masked male and the others in black were all very excited. All they needed to do was stall Zhao Feng until Sacred Lord Black Shark finished off Sacred Lord Cang Qiong. Everything would end soon after that.


    "With just you?" Zhao Feng snickered as Eye Intent started to shoot out from his left eye.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World!"


    A surge of soul power from his Lightning Soul Body entered his left eye. Zhao Feng''s left eye then turned into a world of limitless purple and gold, and it radiated an extremely alluring sensation.


    Weng!


    The five in front of Zhao Feng instinctively looked toward Zhao Feng''s eye, and in the next instant, they lost control of their consciousness and started to struggle.


    The masked male retreated several dozen steps and completely circulated his Soul Intent, but the four Quasi-Sacred Lords tried to struggle for a short while before losing all light in their eyes and becoming unable to move.


    "This¡­" The masked male steadied himself as an incredulous expression appeared on his face.


    Although he had retreated quickly to escape the range of Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique, the illusion still had a very big effect on him. On top of that, the four Quasi-Sacred Lords were acting like they were braindead, and they just stood there.


    "How is this possible!?" The masked male''s soul shook.


    One had to know that the Quasi-Sacred Lords that came with them were all super assassins from Black Corner Screen; they weren''t any weaker than the Quasi-Sacred Lords that took part in the Crown Prince trial. However, one glance from Zhao Feng instantly defeated them.


    "Black Shark, faster!" The masked male revealed an angry and surprised expression as he messaged.


    "You bunch of trash!" Sacred Lord Black Shark harrumphed in anger. He had obviously seen what was happening as well.


    Zhao Feng had become much stronger than when he was in the Crown Prince trial. They had no intel about these powerful illusions that Zhao Feng had.


    Although Sacred Lord Black Shark was much stronger than Sacred Lord Cang Qiong, it would be very hard to defeat him quickly.


    "So strong!" Sacred Lord Cang Qiong revealed a joyful expression as he circulated his Sacred Power at full strength in order to stall Sacred Lord Black Shark for a while longer.


    "Zhao Feng has become even stronger!" Old Ying revealed a faint smile. From the looks of it, they were saved indeed.


    Weng! Weng! Weng!


    Zhao Feng circulated the Sacred Lightning Body and became taller. Lightning covered his body as he charged forward with a terrifying force of lightning.


    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The four in black were sent flying by Zhao Feng. No one knew if they were alive or dead.


    "Twilight Dark Shadow!" The masked male slashed out with the dark green dagger, and layers of dark green light sliced toward Zhao Feng. At the same time, the masked male circulated his Soul Intent in order to block Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline techniques.


    Weng~ Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A pair of scarlet wings expanded behind Zhao Feng''s back.


    The masked male was very strong. Zhao Feng didn''t dare to block his attacks head-on since his Sacred Lightning Body hadn''t broken through to the 6th level yet.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng left behind a trail of lightning in the sky as he dodged the attack and shot toward the masked male.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The masked male started to become half-transparent as he slashed out a few more beams of dark green light before trying to escape.


    However, a cold Intent suddenly appeared from behind him.


    Miao miao!


    A shadow-like dagger stabbed into the masked male''s back.


    "What!? Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger?" The masked male revealed a stunned expression.


    Shadow Kill Imperial Daggers countered the Sacred Bodies of Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords to a certain degree.


    As he was stunned, a critical sensation suddenly washed over him, and the little thieving cat turned into a streak of gray light that disappeared into the air.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Whoom!


    A transparent purple-and-gold fire with countless symbols of God Tribulation Lightning slammed into the masked male. A ball of Destructive lightning-fire started to burn the masked male''s body and soul.


    Whoosh!


    The wings on Zhao Feng''s back released a glow of red light that pushed his speed to the limit, and he slammed into the masked male.


    The entire process was extremely smooth like a stream of flowing water, and it happened within two breaths.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng then closed in on the masked male and slammed his fists into the masked male''s body.


    Zhao Feng''s Fire of Wind Lightning contained the symbols of God Tribulation Lightning. At the same time, his Sacred Lightning Body contained the power of ancient lightning, which was also very destructive toward Sacred Bodies.


    Boom!


    Against Zhao Feng''s barrage of fierce blows, the masked male was smashed into the ground.


    The next instant, Zhao Feng flew into the air and charged toward Sacred Lord Black Shark. In a situation as dangerous as this, Zhao Feng definitely wouldn''t go easy on the enemy.


    "What a bunch of useless trash!" Sacred Lord Black Shark had been completely suppressing Sacred Lord Cang Qiong. If he had ten more breaths, he would have won, but his comrades couldn''t even stall Zhao Feng for five breaths.


    "Great!" Sacred Lord Cang Qiong was overjoyed. Zhao Feng''s strength had exceeded his expectations; he actually managed to finish off everyone else so quickly.


    "Hmph!" Sacred Lord Black Shark revealed a nasty expression as he turned around and chose to escape.


    The change in tide had been too fast. Based on the strength that Zhao Feng displayed, if Sacred Lord Cang Qiong teamed up with Zhao Feng, even Sacred Lord Black Shark would be defeated here.


    "Fuck off!" Before Sacred Lord Black Shark escaped, he thrust out his spear toward Zhao Feng, and a ball of chaotic light charged toward Zhao Feng like a fierce shark.


    "Stop him!" Zhao Feng circulated his Eye Intent and formed a purple-and-gold crystalline spike of lightning that stabbed toward Sacred Lord Black Shark.


    At the same time, Sacred Lord Black Shark''s attack landed on Zhao Feng and pushed him back.


    Sii!


    Sacred Lord Black Shark screamed, and a dark green bracelet on his wrist blinked with a dark green light that reduced the damage he took.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Black Shark turned into a ball of darkness and sped toward the exit. Sacred Lord Cang Qiong was heavily injured and unable to stop him.


    "Not good!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically. Those from the Ji Family that had followed him were still outside. If Sacred Lord Black Shark chose to finish them off while he ran, then Ji Lan, Emperor Ghost Scales, and company ¨C who only had the strength of a peak Emperor ¨C would be unable to fight back.

 1016 A Brief Glance

    Chapter 1016 - A Brief Glance


    Outside the hall, the three from the Ji Family and Emperor Ghost Scales were fighting against several dozen armored guards. Zhao Feng didn''t plan on them coming in, so he left a little more than a dozen guards so they could test themselves.


    These guards were all Peak-tier Kings or Emperor, and they were subordinates of Sacred Lord Black Shark. They were all professional assassins, so they were more experienced in fighting than the others here.


    "Let''s try this move ¨C Black Wind Ghost Claw!" A giant black claw on the back of Emperor Ghost Scales'' hand flashed with a cold light and radiated a terrifying ghastly aura.


    Whoosh!


    Several dozen black claws suddenly appeared and shot forward like sharp blades.


    Peng! Boom!


    Four black-armored guards started to panic against Emperor Ghost Scales'' move, and many holes were sliced open on their armor.


    "Hehehehe, this Inheritance Sacred weapon isn''t too bad."


    Emperor Ghost Scales had been inspecting this Inheritance Sacred weapon for a long time. This was the first time he had actually taken it into combat, so he kept on trying out different skills and techniques with it.


    On the other side, the three from the Ji Family worked together to fight the remaining guards. Amongst them, Ji Lan was responsible for restraining the guards and supporting them with illusions while Ji Wuye and Ji Tianming used illusion attacks.


    "Purple Star Illusion Domain!" Purple mist spread through Ji Lan''s eyes and enveloped the black-armored guards nearby.


    These guards'' minds instantly became chaotic, and they made many mistakes.


    "Falling Meteors!" Blue-and-purple flames suddenly blasted out from Ji Wuye''s eyes.


    Boom! Boom!


    Countless blue-and-purple flaming meteorites filled the sky in the soul dimension and crushed downward. The momentum could crush one''s mind and make them unable to resist.


    Ji Wuye''s mutated Purple Star Eyes were the strongest amongst their trio.


    ¡­


    The battle within the teleportation hall obviously attracted the attention of many experts in the Spiritual Palace.


    "What''s happening within the teleportation hall?"


    "I can feel several Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords fighting there. Let''s not approach."


    Due to the shocking Mystic Light Realm-level Magnificent Power, many experts could only watch the situation with their Divine Sense. They didn''t dare to enter.


    However, an elder in gray had a calm expression as he slowly approached the teleportation hall.


    "Let''s see if we can use this teleportation array or not." The elder in gray had a normal expression on his face as he looked at the chaotic fight between the Ji Family members and the black-armored guards.


    At this moment in time, Sacred Lord Black Shark charged out from the entrance.


    "Get ready to leave!" Sacred Lord Black Shark''s voice sounded, and the black-armored guards outside immediately retreated and prepared to leave with Sacred Lord Black Shark.


    "All of you are Zhao Feng''s accomplices¡­ die!" Sacred Lord Black Shark looked at the three disciples of the Ji Family, Emperor Ghost Scales, and the elder in gray not far away, and deadliness appeared in his eyes.


    Boom!


    A surge of Sacred Lord-level Magnificent Power suddenly descended and created explosions across the entire palace. The three from the Ji Family and Emperor Ghost Scales all felt their bodies freeze under the pressure of a Sacred Lord. They were unable to move their True Yuan or bloodlines, and the terrifying pressure was about to crush them.


    However, this Sacred power instantly disappeared, and the three from the Ji Family and Emperor Ghost Scales all let out a breath.


    "Is the teleportation array still useable?" the elder in gray suddenly asked.


    "This¡­!" Sacred Lord Black Shark revealed a stunned expression, and his heart started to thud as cold sweat poured from his forehead. That elder managed to destroy his Sacred Lord-level Magnificent Power so easily!


    He hadn''t actually inspected this elder''s cultivation and only thought that he was on Zhao Feng''s side. Since he was standing outside instead of fighting inside, then his cultivation shouldn''t have been very high.


    However, after closely inspecting him, Sacred Lord Black Shark realized that he couldn''t see through his elder''s cultivation level at all.


    The three from the Ji Family and Emperor Ghost Scales held their breath and looked toward the elder in gray. They only knew that Sacred Lord Black Shark was at the beginning stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but this elder seemed to be even stronger than Sacred Lord Black Shark.


    Sacred Lord Black Shark had a complicated expression. If he didn''t leave now and was caught by Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Cang Qiong, he would definitely die.


    "Explode!" Sacred Lord Black Shark didn''t expect Zhao Feng to bring such an expert along with him, and his eyes became even deadlier.


    The bodies and souls of his subordinates started to expand, and a surge of destruction started to brew.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The black-armored guards exploded, and the terrifying force destroyed the entrance to the hall.


    "I will avenge all of you!" Sacred Lord Black Shark turned into a streak of black light that sped into the distance.


    "Come back!" an old voice sounded from the center of the explosions.


    Boom! Weng~~


    The sky became dark, and limitless Intent passed through the air.


    "How is¡­ this possible!!?" Sacred Lord Black Shark''s body froze in the air; he was unable to move forward. His body was restrained by an ultimate power.


    The smoke faded away and revealed the elder in gray, who was completely unharmed. His eyes were like calm water as he looked at Sacred Lord Black Shark.


    Elsewhere, a tall gold-and-blue body stood in front of the three from the Ji Family and Emperor Ghost Scales.


    "Zhao Feng, thank you!" Emperor Ghost Scales felt extremely lucky.


    When the guards exploded, Zhao Feng arrived and circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and his Sacred Lightning Protection to block the blast in front of them. Even Zhao Feng would be unable to handle the self-destruction of more than a dozen Kings and Emperors if he took it head-on.


    At this point in time, Zhao Feng''s heart shook as he looked at the elder in gray not far away. This elder had easily restrained Sacred Lord Black Shark; his true strength was at least at the late-stage Sacred Lord level, or perhaps he was even a Sacred King!


    Hu~


    Sacred Lord Black Shark couldn''t move as he wished as he slowly returned to the ground. He had an expression of despair on his face; he didn''t think that Zhao Feng''s helper would be so strong. The assassination had failed, and now he had nowhere to escape to!


    "Hahahahaha, let''s die together then!" Sacred Lord Black Shark contorted as his power condensed and instantly exploded.


    "Not good, watch out¡­!" Even Zhao Feng didn''t dare to overestimate himself against Sacred Lord Black Shark''s self-destruction.


    Zhao Feng spread his wings and his Little World of Wind Lightning as he pulled up the three Ji Family members and Emperor Ghost Scales and rushed into the sky.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Everything around the teleportation hall was destroyed, and many Emperors watching the show were injured by the blast. Even a Sacred Lord had self-destructed, so the spectators all ran away. However, the elder in gray just stood there and protected himself with some Intent. No damage was done to him.


    "Thank you, Senior, for helping me kill this assassin." Zhao Feng went forward to give his thanks. It didn''t matter if this elder had done it on purpose or not ¨C if he had done nothing, Sacred Lord Black Shark might very likely have gotten away.


    "Little Friend, is the array within the teleportation hall still useable?" the elder in gray asked.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye scanned toward the direction of the teleportation array. A defensive array around it had been destroyed, but the teleportation array itself was still fine.


    "The array is still fine. It can still be used." Zhao Feng landed on the ground and released the three Ji Family members and Emperor Ghost Scales from his Little World of Wind Lightning.


    "Zhao Feng, we need to leave as soon as possible," Old Ying messaged.


    Old Ying, the Ninth Prince, and Sacred Lord Cang Qiong were relatively far away from the explosion, so they weren''t injured. However, the three of them were injured earlier, their positions had been revealed, and this place was extremely unsafe. For example, the elder in gray outside had immeasurable strength. If he was an enemy, they would have been dead already.


    They needed to go to the battlefield and report this to the imperials.


    "Senior, if you don''t mind, you can come with us." Zhao Feng invited this elder since he felt no ill intentions from him.


    "There''s no need. I''m still waiting for my disciple." The elder in gray rejected Zhao Feng''s invitation.


    "Goodbye then." Zhao Feng, the members of the Ji Family, and Emperor Ghost Scales said goodbye to the elder in gray.


    Old Ying put in several peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones in the ancient teleportation stage, and a white light started to flash as countless silver array lines started to extend.


    Sacred Lord Cang Qiong and Old Ying looked at the mysterious elder and felt lucky that the he wasn''t their enemy. At the same time, they felt that Sacred Lord Black Shark''s luck was rather bad.


    At this instant in time, a figure in white headed toward the elder in gray. The girl wore snow-white clothes, and her peerless beauty was like a pure and white lotus. She gave off a faint smile and gave others a peaceful sensation.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes suddenly shook as he looked toward this elegant girl who seemed to come from a painting. Even Zhao Feng, who was used to seeing beauties, was deeply attracted.


    At the same time, he also felt an unknown familiar sensation. Just like when the little thieving cat unveiled Liu Qinxin''s face back at Flooding Lake City in the Azure Flower Continent, and her beauty was enough to dazzle anyone for a short moment.


    "So pretty!" Emperor Ghost Scales was dazed as he looked at the girl in white. Even Ji Lan was completely attracted by her.


    At the same time, the girl in white looked toward the Ninth Prince and company in the teleportation array, and her eyes landed on Zhao Feng. The aura given off by the golden hair and the golden eye made her feel a close affinity, but in the next instant, the Ninth Prince, Zhao Feng, and company disappeared from the teleportation stage.


    "Master, I bought a decent qin!" The girl in white revealed her teeth in a smile.


    "You haven''t been paying attention; you actually left your qin behind!" the elder in gray said.


    "Little beauty, why did you come here?"


    "Don''t run little goddess, we just want to be your friends, hehehehe!"


    The playful voices of two males sounded from outside as two bulky males jumped over. They were both Quasi-Sacred Lords, and they didn''t feel much of a threat from the elder next to the girl, so they didn''t really bother with him.


    "Causing trouble for me again!" the elder in gray revealed a helpless smile, and the girl''s face went faintly red as she gave an awkward smile.


    Weng~


    The color of the elder''s left eye suddenly started to change, and a black figure jumped out. This black figure only existed in a soul state, and it had countless curses and talismans on it. The appearance was similar to Sacred Lord Black Shark.


    "What¡­ is this?"


    The two males'' expression changed. This weird scene gave them a bad feeling.


    Sacred Lord Black Shark''s soul suddenly charged out, and a terrifying Sacred Lord Soul Intent smashed forward.


    "Run!" The two males'' expressions turned to fear and panic as they immediately tried to run.


    Hu~~ Boom...!


    The two big males fell to the ground ¨C their souls had been completely destroyed. Sacred Lord Black Shark''s soul then turned into a streak of black light and merged into the left eye of the elder in gray.


    "Let''s go. The teleportation array is still useable." The elder in gray and the girl in white walked toward the ancient array stage.

 1017 Three Province Battlefield

    Chapter 1017 - Three Province Battlefield


    When Zhao Feng, the Ninth Prince, and company appeared on the other teleportation stage, everyone sat on Zhao Feng''s flying flaming chariot and charged into the sky. Eight was the maximum capacity of the flying flaming chariot.


    "Look, that''s¡­!"


    "The value of that flying machine should be pretty high!"


    This Spiritual Palace was even more chaotic than the last. Zhao Feng and company flying into the sky attracted many gazes, and several dozen figures immediately followed behind them.


    "Hmph!" Sacred Lord Cang Qiong snickered coldly and unleashed his Sacred Lord aura.


    Boom!


    The blood within the several dozen figures shook as this supreme aura pushed them back.


    "Sacred Lord¡­! There''s no hope."


    Many people left, but there were still a few greedy gazes left after seeing that there were eight people on the flying chariot.


    ¡­


    "Zhao Feng, this flying machine is pretty good!" Old Ying had a praising expression.


    The flying steed that they had been using was nothing in comparison to this. Flying steeds needed rest, and without a beast tamer, accidents might happen during a long journey that would be hard to resolve.


    "This was upgraded by a Blacksmith-Array Master in Chen Province," Ji Tianming, who talked a lot, answered.


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng is indeed fierce and strong like the rumors." Sacred Lord Cang Qiong revealed a faint smile.


    He was sent by the imperials to protect the Ninth Prince. Of course, there were many other people with him as well. However, there was a big difference between them and Sacred Lord Black Shark''s group. This time, if it wasn''t for Zhao Feng, they would have all died within the hall.


    "Zhao Feng, how did you find us?" Old Ying asked what he was puzzled about.


    The array had blocked all sound, power, and Spiritual Senses. When they were trapped inside, no one had entered.


    "This." A square golden token with a dragon on it appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    "Imperial Sky Token!" Old Ying and Sacred Lord Cang Qiong instantly understood.


    Although the Imperial Sky Token symbolized the status of an imperial, it had another ability; to increase the power of the wearer''s draconic providence. There was still a bit of the Ninth Prince''s draconic providence within the Imperial Sky Token. Previously, the Ninth Prince was relying on his draconic providence to fight, so he could obviously sense the Imperial Sky Token not far away.


    However, the two were surprised by the fact that the Ninth Prince had given his Imperial Sky Token to Zhao Feng. Maybe this was karma.


    "Who would want to assassinate the Crown Prince!?" Emperor Ghost Scales asked. For him, the Crown Prince was the person with noblest identity that he had ever seen.


    "We have no clue." Old Ying had a grim expression.


    Assassins were only responsible for taking the missions and finishing off the targets. They didn''t care about anything else; therefore, even if their targets won and left some of them alive, they wouldn''t be able to get any information.


    Although they were planning to report this when they arrived at their destination, they probably wouldn''t be able to find out anything.


    "Zhao Feng, our final stop is in the territory of the Tie Family!" Old Ying warned.


    Apart from Emperor Ghost Scales, everyone else present knew a bit about the enmity between Zhao Feng and the Tie Family. However, there was nothing they could do about this. The Tie Family was the main area where the non-humans were attacking. Sacred King Feather Spirit was guarding the place, and they needed to go there first.


    "Brother Zhao, the Tie Family won''t do anything to you!" The Ninth Prince immediately stood up.


    With the Ninth Prince''s current identity, the Tie Family wouldn''t dare to do anything to Zhao Feng, at least on the surface.


    ¡­


    There were experts and forces of every sort on the way. Most of them joined the front lines in order to gather battle points and exchange them for precious resources. Some were here because they were bloodthirsty or wanted to gain more experience.


    About ten days later, the group arrived before a large, stunning gold-and-red palace. A fierce aura of slaughter washed over them.


    A group of people would patrol around the gold-and-red palace at every ten meters.


    The Ninth Prince took out a token and showed it to the ones guarding the city. These guards led their group into the palace.


    After three different groups led them in, the Ninth Prince and company finally arrived at the very center.


    "Wait for me outside," the Ninth Prince said to the others. Apart from Sacred Lord Cang Qiong, no one else had the right to enter.


    "I''ll tell you about the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s situation," Old Ying suddenly said. Everyone else had nothing to do, and it was good for them to know how the war was going.


    "Half of the area over three provinces have fallen. A million miles away from us is the stronghold of the non-humans!" Old Ying said in a solemn tone.


    Everyone''s expression changed after hearing what Old Ying said, and they looked toward the front.


    The war between the two lord dynasties had lasted for over a year, and although the Great Gan Lord Dynasty had managed to turn around their initial disadvantage, they didn''t have the ability to take back the land they had lost.


    Since a portion of those three provinces had fallen, the war was mainly based off these three provinces. These three provinces were Ling Province, where the Tie Family was based; Shuang Province, where the Yu Family was based; and Lan Province, where Grand Duke Lan''s Palace ruled.


    "Lan Province, Grand Duke Lan''s Palace?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "That''s right. Grand Duke Lan''s Palace is one of the forces that supports His Highness!" Old Ying had a solemn tone.


    In the Crown Prince trial, Su Qingling came from Grand Duke Lan''s Palace. Lan Province was the weakest province of the three.


    "Where will we be assigned?" Ji Wuye asked.


    "Wait." Old Ying said one word.


    Everyone understood that they would only know the result after the Ninth Prince and Sacred Lord Cang Qiong came out.


    For them, the best choice would be if they went to the Yu Family''s province since they were on the same side now. Although Lan Province supported the Ninth Prince, Lan Province''s overall strength was relatively weak, and they weren''t the non-humans'' match. It wasn''t a good place for the Ninth Prince to show good results.


    As for Ling Province, they supported the Fourth Prince, and the Tie Family had a weird relationship with Zhao Feng, so Zhao Feng didn''t want to stay behind in Ling Province.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng didn''t know which province the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were at.


    "What''s that?" Ji Lan looked into the distance.


    At the very center of the hall were rows of red stone boards that were a hundred meters tall. Blood seemed to bubble from them, and countless names were written all over them as golden light blinked.


    "That''s the War Board Ranking. The top five thousand people with the most war points in Ling Province will be displayed on the War Board Rankings!" Old Ying explained.


    The War Board Ranking was to encourage the soldiers of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty to kill more enemies and be more courageous. It was also a display of glory and strength.


    These war points wouldn''t decrease even if one used them to buy resources. Apparently, after the war ended, those ranked in the top one hundred would gain unique rewards.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes swept over the War Board Ranking and saw a few familiar names, such as Xuanyuan Wen, Tie Lingyun, and Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning. Amongst them, Xuanyuan Wen and Tie Lingyun were ranked around 100th while Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning was in the top fifty.


    Of course, Zhao Feng realized that there weren''t any late-stage Mystic Light Realms on the War Board Ranking, let alone a Sacred King.


    "Don''t underestimate these war points. Now that the Great Gan Lord Dynasty wants to turn the tide around quickly, the rarity and preciousness of some rewards you can buy exceed your imagination."


    Old Ying knew that the people that followed Zhao Feng here were also going to enter the battlefield and kill enemies, so he used this to encourage them.


    At this moment, the Ninth Prince and Sacred Lord Cang Qiong walked out from the golden-red palace.


    "We leave tomorrow," the Ninth Prince said.


    Old Ying and Zhao Feng could tell from the Ninth Prince''s tone that their destination should be Lan Province. If the Ninth Prince had seen Sacred King Feather Spirit, they might have very likely been sent to Shuang Province, which suited the Ninth Prince most. It was obvious that the Ninth Prince should have met some upper echelon of the Tie Family instead.


    Being a force that supported the Fourth Prince, the Tie Family wanted to stop the Ninth Prince from having big accomplishments, so he was obviously sent to Lan Province.


    Apart from that, Lan Province and Shuang Province were on either side of Ling Province. This meant that the overall strength of the Ninth Prince had been split up. After all, news of the Eighth Prince supporting the Crown Prince had spread throughout the upper echelons of many forces.


    "Come with me!"


    Everyone followed Sacred Lord Cang Qiong to a side hall that no one stayed in. However, a person arrived as soon as Zhao Feng stepped into the hall.


    "Greetings, Your Highness Crown Prince!" The newcomer bowed to the Ninth Prince.


    "Zhao Feng, the Grand Elder of the Tie Family invites you over!" the person then spoke to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had to admire how fast the Tie Family''s actions were. The news of him following the Ninth Prince had probably already spread throughout the upper echelon of the Tie Family. However, since Ling Province was the Tie Family''s territory, Zhao Feng not going over would only make the situation worse.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll come with you," the Ninth Prince immediately said. He didn''t expect the Tie Family to be so stubborn with Zhao Feng. The moment they arrived, the Tie Family took action. Furthermore, this time, it was someone with even more power in the Tie Family.


    "No need!" Zhao Feng rejected the Ninth Prince''s good intentions.


    "Please, this way." The person from the Tie Family flew into the air with Zhao Feng behind him.


    With this person leading him, Zhao Feng arrived at the inner hall behind the main hall. After arriving, the member of the Tie Family retreated.


    "Come in!" an old voice sounded, and it made Zhao Feng''s heart jump. Although this voice was calm, it made Zhao Feng''s body feel hot as his bloodline started to shake. One could tell that the owner of this voice was not simple.


    Zhao Feng then stepped into this gold-and-red hall.


    There were only two figures within the hall. One wore white robes and had red hair. His aura was extremely faint, as if he had the body of a mortal. On the other hand, the other figure lit up Zhao Feng''s eyes. It was a tall female with a stunning face in red. She had a pair of eyes that could attract one''s soul, and she was currently smiling as she inspected Zhao Feng.


    "Have a seat," the elder in white said with a faint smile.


    "May I know why Senior wanted this Junior to come here?" Zhao Feng felt that things were different from what he expected. He also felt several hidden but powerful auras within the hall.


    "I hope Little Friend Zhao doesn''t take what the Tie Family did before to heart!" the elder in white robes sat down and said.


    "Of course not. The Tie Family hasn''t done anything to this Junior." Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same.


    Hearing that, the white robed elder laughed.


    "Does Little Friend Zhao have any misunderstandings about the Tie Family?" the white robed elder asked slowly. He was obviously asking for the reason Zhao Feng didn''t want to join the Tie Family.


    The attitude of the Grand Elder of the Tie Family made Zhao Feng feel uncomfortable. After all, in the past, the people of the Tie Family gave Zhao Feng the feeling that they were extremely forceful.


    "Of course not. The Tie Family guards the northwestern border against the non-humans. This junior admires this fact very much." Zhao Feng gave a respectful reply.


    "Hahaha, the younger generation of the Tie Family also admires Little Friend Zhao''s performance in the Crown Prince trial!" the white-robed elder said with a smile.


    "This is my granddaughter, Tie Hongling. She has always wanted to meet Little Friend Zhao, and she can finally do so today!"


    The gorgeous female immediately walked forward after the white-robed elder finished speaking.

 1018 In Spite of Oneself

    Chapter 1018 - In Spite of Oneself


    "This is my granddaughter, Tie Hongling. She has always wanted to meet Little Friend Zhao, and she can finally do so today!"


    The gorgeous female immediately walked forward after the white-robed elder finished speaking.


    "I''m Tie Hongling, and I''m privileged to meet Young Sir Zhao!" Tie Hongling''s voice sounded, and she gave a faint bow. Her plentiful breasts were about to leap out, and she gave a faint smile as she inspected Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at the white-robed elder. This time, the Tie Family''s attitude was very different from before, and they didn''t even mention his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline yet. Zhao Feng didn''t know what the Tie Family''s intentions were.


    "Hongling has heard of Young Sir Zhao''s stories a long time ago, and Young Sir Zhao is indeed handsome and strong as the stories say!" Tie Hongling started to speak.


    In reality, the Tie Family was planning on using her to tie Zhao Feng to them with marriage.


    Tie Hongling was the number one beauty of the Tie Family, and she had countless males after her from all Eight Big Families, but she didn''t like any of them.


    The Tie Family placed great importance on Zhao Feng''s display in the Crown Prince trial. Her grandfather even came up with the idea of having her marry Zhao Feng.


    Tie Hongling had obviously come this time to see her future husband. She wanted to see what differences this male with the perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline had in comparison to the other geniuses of the Tie Family. If all Zhao Feng had was the bloodline but was useless in every other respect, she wouldn''t agree. However, seeing Zhao Feng''s calm attitude, handsome face, and cold eyes, Tie Hongling''s heart swayed.


    "I''ve also heard that Young Sir Zhao is only an Emperor but has the battle-power of an early stage Mystic Light Realm. May I know if I can witness Young Sir Zhao''s handsome figure?"


    Seeing that Zhao Feng didn''t say anything for a long time, Tie Hongling thought that she had dazzled Zhao Feng and gave a confident smile.


    She was extremely satisfied by Zhao Feng''s bloodline, appearance, and display. Now she wanted to see if Zhao Feng was really as strong as the rumors said.


    "Lady Hongling is extremely gorgeous and stunning. You''ve managed to become a Quasi-Sacred Lord at such a young age. That is something that I can''t compare to."


    Zhao Feng squinted his eyes as he inspected this girl. In terms of bloodline, she might be even stronger than Tie Lingyun. As for why she didn''t participate in the Crown Prince trial, perhaps she had failed to obtain the particular spot she wanted.


    "Hahaha, Little Friend Zhao doesn''t need to be humble. My granddaughter is very competitive. Why doesn''t Little Friend show her a move or two?" The white-robed elder laughed, and a surge of Sacred Lord-level Magnificent Power covered Zhao Feng and Tie Hongling.


    Shua!


    The scenery in front of them changed, and they arrived in another dimension as a hot aura swept over them. In front of them was an area made from lava and countless volcanoes. There was even a volcano spewing lava not far away.


    Zhao Feng was faintly surprised. This Little World was close to a real dimension and gave others a realistic feeling.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes scanned over the place and found that this dimension had the elements of Water, Fire, and Earth.


    "Senior, you''re not planning for me and your granddaughter to fight here, right?"


    Zhao Feng was helpless. The white-robed elder had brought Zhao Feng into his Little World without even asking for his opinion, but there was nothing Zhao Feng could do.


    "This is my first time seeing Young Sir Zhao. We don''t want to damage our relationship; how about we only exchange three blows?" Tie Hongling asked.


    She was very interested in the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, and Zhao Feng''s current attitude suited her. This was very rare. Three moves would be enough to see Zhao Feng''s true strength.


    "It''s just three moves. Little Friend Zhao doesn''t need to be so respectful." the white-robed elder said in a forceful tone.


    In reality, he was forcing Zhao Feng to show his strength this time to make the upper echelon of the Tie Family witness it as well. Only then would they know if it was worth wedding Tie Hongling to Zhao Feng or not.


    After all, Zhao Feng disliked the Tie Family, and the chance of him actually joining was quite low. They could only go for the second best and let Zhao Feng leave a few "seeds" behind for the Tie Family. However, Zhao Feng wouldn''t be interested in normal females.


    "Okay, three moves." Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    In the next instant, Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and circulated the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body as he charged toward Tie Hongling and punched out.


    If it was just three moves, then Zhao Feng would take the lead and end it quickly.


    Zhao Feng knew that the white-robed elder wanted to see his true strength, so he didn''t dare to underestimate Tie Hongling. However, he couldn''t use his eye-bloodline or else the white-robed elder and the others from the Tie Family that were hiding would be dissatisfied and make the situation even more troublesome.


    As long as he passed this stage for now, Zhao Feng would be able to leave with the Ninth Prince to go to Lan Province the next day and completely leave the Tie Family. In the future, Zhao Feng would try his best not to come to Ling Province unless he was strong enough or unless his force was at a level that the Tie Family wouldn''t dare to do anything to him.


    Boom!


    A powerful physical force merged with the Fire of Wind Lightning and exploded from Zhao Feng''s fists.


    Ding! Peng!


    Two blood-red curved blades appeared in Tie Hongling''s hands and blocked Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Dominating Fist.


    "Young Sir Zhao is really impatient!" Tie Hongling''s sexy voice sounded next to Zhao Feng. She was dissatisfied that Zhao Feng wanted to end this fight as soon as possible.


    What power! Zhao Feng exclaimed in his heart. He knew that, in order to utilize the Blood Devil Sun bloodline, members of the Tie Family would have to train body-strengthening techniques. However, Tie Hongling''s power was much stronger than Tie Lingyun''s during the Crown Prince trial.


    Boom!


    The bloodline within Tie Hongling''s body suddenly erupted and caused her wicked red hair to blow in the wind. A glass-like red color also appeared on her skin, making her seem as if she was a work of art.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng was pushed back, and a fiery sensation washed over his Sacred Lightning Body.


    At this moment, Tie Hongling floated in the air and was surrounded by fiery flames, as if she was a goddess of fire ¨C elegant and noble.


    Whoosh! Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s gold-and-blue figure released a ball of fire that dyed his body the color of fresh blood, and a pair of lightning wings extended across his back as if they were the immortal fire wings of a Golden Crow.


    A forceful and fiery aura formed a blast that swept over in every direction. The lava below started to tremble.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Explosions sounded from countless volcanoes, and a surge of lava shot out, causing the world to turn red and fiery hot.


    "The perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline?" Tie Hongling''s eyes inspected Zhao Feng, and her heart faintly shook. Zhao Feng''s bloodline gave her a feeling that made her want to stand next to him.


    "Young Sir Zhao, it''s my turn to attack now!" Tie Hongling shouted as she waved the blood-colored curved blades in her hands.


    "Blood Demon Scarlet Moon!" Tie Hongling used a profound movement technique to instantly approach Zhao Feng. She then sliced out and created a flaming scarlet-red curved moon that shot toward Zhao Feng.


    In an instant, all the power of fire nearby seemed to be sucked in to increase the power of this attack.


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly as the flames around his body rose once more. A barrier made of his Scarlet Lightning appeared in front of him.


    At the same time, a unique blood-red sun started to burn and spin behind Zhao Feng. Fire started to slowly gather from the earth and sky, increasing the power of Zhao Feng''s bloodline.


    "What a powerful ability to absorb fire!" Tie Hongling''s eyes sparkled. The rate of absorption from Zhao Feng''s bloodline was much stronger than hers.


    Peng! Boom!


    A blood-colored wave exploded.


    Whoosh!


    In the next instant, a figure charged out from the center of the explosion.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s body left behind a flower of fire as he appeared next to Tie Hongling in a flash.


    "This is the Blood Devil Charge!" Tie Hongling looked at Zhao Feng''s current state. Fire burned across his body, and it was releasing explosions at every moment.


    This secret technique that was used in cooperation with the Blood Devil Sun bloodline was the Blood Devil Charge.


    Peng!


    The Blood Devil Charge, in addition to the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, shot toward Tie Hongling!


    Boom!


    A red figure was slammed into the lava below.


    Boom!


    Tie Hongling suddenly charged out. At this moment, half of her clothes had been destroyed, revealing a flawless body. Her pair of jade legs was enough to make any male go crazy.


    "Hongling, stop!" the white-robed elder suddenly called out, and the power of the Little World descended onto Tie Hongling, instantly suppressing her bloodline power.


    "Thank you, Young Sir Zhao, for teaching me. I admire your strength!" Tie Hongling soon calmed down and gave a faint smile as her grandfather stopped her.


    Zhao Feng''s increase in speed at the end caught her off guard, but she didn''t think that Zhao Feng could actually defeat her. However, his strength had reached the minimum requirement of her future husband.


    "Little Friend Zhao''s strength has indeed opened my eyes!" The white-robed elder laughed.


    He had only heard of Zhao Feng learning the Blood Devil Charge during a fight with Tie Lingyun, but that wasn''t enough to make him believe it. Now that he had seen it in person, the white-robed elder completely believed it, and he was extremely excited.


    The power of an eye-bloodline that could steal an opponent''s secret technique in just one exchange was definitely not weaker than the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Furthermore, the white-robed elder also saw that Zhao Feng had good control over his Blood Devil Sun bloodline and had some shadows of the Tie Family''s techniques. He had probably learned something else when fighting Tie Lingyun.


    On top of that, even though Zhao Feng only had a slight advantage against Tie Hongling, he hadn''t even used his eye-bloodline. If Zhao Feng used his eye-bloodline, which was even stronger, the situation would have been very different.


    Hu!


    The world around them started to disappear, and they returned to the hall they were in moments ago. The hidden auras within the hall were all shocked and started to send each other messages.


    "No, no, no, Lady Tie Hongling went easy on me since she saw that I was only an Emperor!" Zhao Feng was very respectful to the white-robed elder''s praise.


    "This old man won''t worry anymore!" The white-robed elder laughed, and Zhao Feng''s heart jumped. He felt that something bad was about to happen from what the white-robed elder said.


    "This old man was planning to make Hongling experience the battlefield, so I''ll leave her to Little Friend then!" the elder in white robes said with a meek smile.

 1019 Body Strengthening Breaking Through

    Chapter 1019 - Body Strengthening Breakthrough


    "This old man was planning to make Hongling experience the battlefield, so I''ll leave her to Little Friend then!" the elder in white robes said with a meek smile.


    "The battlefield is extremely dangerous. This junior is useless and will probably be unable to protect Lady Hongling."


    Zhao Feng was surprised as he finally understood the white-robed elder''s intentions. If Tie Hongling stayed by his side, then it would make the situation between him and the Tie Family more complicated. If an accident really happened to Tie Hongling, then Zhao Feng would never be able to escape the Tie Family.


    "Does Young Sir Zhao already dislike me?" Tie Hongling had a playful smile as she looked at Zhao Feng.


    "Little Friend Zhao, don''t be humble. We''ll settle it like this then!" the white-robed elder said with a smile, and Zhao Feng''s expression changed. The actions of the Tie Family''s Grand Elder reminded Zhao Feng of Flooding Lake City''s Lord from the Azure Flower Continent.


    However, he could obviously see that there would be no results if he went against the Grand Elder of the Tie Family.


    The Tie Family just wants to put Tie Hongling with me. If I just completely ignore her, I believe that Tie Hongling will eventually start to dislike me¡­.


    Zhao Feng thought of a plan. As long as Tie Hongling started disliking Zhao Feng, then all of this nonsense would end.


    In the end, Zhao Feng said no more and let the situation be decided like this.


    Figures started to appear in the hall after Zhao Feng left.


    "Hongling, what do you think of Zhao Feng?" the white-robed elder asked with a smile.


    "Grandfather, can you not tell what I''m thinking?" Tie Hongling''s face was slightly red as she revealed a decisive look.


    "Hahaha, I told you so. Zhao Feng''s potential definitely exceeds any genius on the Imperial Dao rankings. There''s no need to test him at all!" Tie Hongnan''s voice sounded.


    ¡­


    Zhao Feng told everyone else everything after returning to where the Ninth Prince and company were staying.


    "Brother Zhao, this is good! I heard that Tie Hongling''s potential isn''t any weaker than Tie Lingyun, but because Tie Lingyun''s senior has too much power in the Tie Family, Tie Hongling wasn''t able to obtain a spot in the Crown Prince trial!" Old Ying had a joyful expression as he immediately said.


    "Hahaha, apart from that, Tie Hongling''s battle-power is quite decent as well. She''ll be of great help to you all." Sacred Lord Cang Qiong laughed.


    Many geniuses among the Eight Big Families and other forces had all tried to chase Tie Hongling and hadn''t succeeded, but now the Tie Family was just giving her to Zhao Feng. This was horrendous in the eyes of the rest of Great Gan''s younger generation.


    "That''s right, Tie Hongling''s battle-power is quite decent." Old Ying agreed as well.


    Zhao Feng then heard from Old Ying that Sacred Lord Cang Qiong was only sent here to protect the Ninth Prince and wouldn''t fight for him. This meant that the Ninth Prince''s battle-power was actually very low, but luckily, after the Ninth Prince arrived in Lan Province, he would be able to order around the forces that supported him.


    For example, if the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were in Lan Province as well, then the Ninth Prince could move them to his stronghold.


    On top of that, Zhao Feng also learned what the Ninth Prince''s main mission was ¨C taking over a city. Over half the territory in the three provinces had been taken over by the non-humans, so they obviously needed to take it back.


    It was easier to defend than attack, and almost all cities or strongholds had someone with the battle-power of a Sacred Lord defending, which meant attacking would be even harder.


    This meant that Tie Hongling would indeed be very useful. Although she was only a Quasi-Sacred Lord, her strength was comparable to normal Sacred Lords. While she couldn''t win against the non-human Sacred Lords, she could at least stall them.


    The next day, Tie Hongling followed everyone else and headed toward Lan Province.


    "Isn''t this the Crown Prince?" a voice sounded before everyone left the palace.


    "Oh, it''s Thirteenth Brother." The Ninth Prince was full of smiles as he greeted.


    Alongside the Thirteenth Prince was about one hundred or so subordinates. There were also five unique and powerful auras next to the Thirteenth Prince.


    "I heard that Your Highness is heading toward Lan Province. Maybe we''ll meet at the same battlefield. I hope that you''ll take care of me!" The Thirteenth Prince laughed.


    Everyone''s heart shook. It was obvious what the Thirteenth Prince''s intentions were from the fact that he already knew the Ninth Prince''s destination and had come here at the same time.


    "Of course, we''re both imperials and need to try our best to take back the fallen territory of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty!" the Ninth Prince immediately said.


    He had learned a lot after becoming the Crown Prince. He needed to put on a mask in front of certain people.


    "I hope Your Highness has a safe journey!" the Thirteenth Prince said before leaving.


    Everyone then sat on the flying flaming chariot and headed toward Lan Province.


    Because there was one extra person, the flying chariot was extremely crowded. Tie Hongling obviously tried to trouble Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng entered seclusion and didn''t respond at all.


    Brother Zhao''s self-control is so strong! Emperor Ghost Scales sighed in his heart.


    Several dozen days later, everyone arrived at Jiabao City in Lan Province.


    "Your Highness, I''ll be leaving this to you then!" The Sacred Lord that had been originally guarding this city took some of his close subordinates and left, heading toward the War Hall in Lan Province.


    The War Hall was the same thing as where they stayed when they were in Ling Province. It was the battle headquarters in each province. Of course, the War Hall in Ling Province had the most power.


    The captains and soldiers here were unwilling to see the Sacred Lord that had been guarding Jiabao City leave. After all, they had fought alongside this Sacred Lord for a year.


    The rankings in the city were very simple. It was split into the ranks of general, captains, and soldiers. The general was obviously the Ninth Prince.


    Captains were usually Emperors or Quasi-Sacred Lords. According to their war record, they were then split into three stars, and the more stars one had, the more soldiers they could lead.


    The minimum requirement to be a soldier was the True Spirit Realm.


    "Sigh, it''s all over now. How can the Crown Prince fight a war?"


    "Shhhh! Be a bit quieter. While the Crown Prince has no Sacred Lords, there should be at least a few strategists."


    "That''s right. Moon Dragon City has two Sacred Lords. From the looks of it, it''ll be impossible for us to take over the city. Instead we might even lose another one!"


    Many of the captains and soldiers weren''t very confident in the Crown Prince and had negative attitudes.


    The next day, the Ninth Prince summoned the captains for a meeting so that he could get to know them and learn about how the battle was going.


    Although the captains weren''t confident in the Crown Prince, they didn''t show any obvious signs.


    Many captains were attracted by Tie Hongling the moment they entered the hall.


    A small number of captains obviously knew her identity and stopped thinking what they had been thinking. At the same time, they were curious as to why Tie Hongling would be together with the Ninth Prince.


    "Jiabao City''s main goal is to take over Moon Dragon City. Moon Dragon City has forty-three captains and two Sacred Lords¡­." A three-star captain told the Ninth Prince and company what the situation was like as the meeting started.


    In comparison to the battle-power of Moon Dragon City, the battle-power of Jiabao City was a bit weaker after the original Sacred Lord and several Quasi-Sacred Lords left. They only had thirty-two captains, and only four of them were three-star captains.


    After getting to know the situation, the Ninth Prince appointed four more captains. They were Old Ying, Zhao Feng, Emperor Ghost Scales, and Tie Hongling.


    According to the rules, they had to all start off as one-star captains and would only be able to gain more stars if their results proved to be good.


    "Senior Ying, please take care of me in the future!"


    "Lady Hongling, I didn''t think that I would be able to witness your skills once more!"


    The other captains all started to greet and interact with the new captains. The new captains were usually the strongest battle-powers that a prince brought. It was only a matter of time until they reached three stars. Amongst them, the most welcomed was obviously Tie Hongling. However, Tie Hongling ignored these captains and only looked at Zhao Feng, making the expressions of some captains become unhappy.


    After the meeting ended, Zhao Feng and the members of the Ji Family left with Emperor Ghost Scales.


    Ji Lan and company could be captains as well according to their strength, but they were still too young, so it was somewhat risky for them to lead others. Furthermore, Zhao Feng was responsible for their safety, so the three of them were going to be in his group.


    "Emperor Ghost Scales, you will become a three-star captain soon as well!" Zhao Feng comforted.


    The others were relatively cold toward Emperor Ghost Scales in the meeting since he was extremely unknown.


    Zhao Feng immediately entered seclusion the second he returned to his residence.


    A multi-colored honey appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand within the Misty Spatial World.


    "I can finally push toward the 6th level of the Sacred Lightning Body now!"


    Zhao Feng had been focusing on his soul and eye-bloodline after the Crown Prince trial ended. He had also tried to form his Little World of Illusions. Everything was now steady.


    Zhao Feng had also already used one portion of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey before the Crown Prince trial. If he used up another portion so quickly, it would dramatically reduce its effectiveness.


    Zhao Feng had been stalling for a long time in order to maximize the power of this Hundred Origin Sacred Honey.


    "After my Sacred Lightning Body reaches the 6th level, I''ll be able to counter normal Sacred Lords with my body alone!"


    The 6th level of the Sacred Lightning Body corresponded to Sacred Lords.


    "Quasi-Sacred Lord" meant that one''s power, Intent, or some aspect was comparable to Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords, but they hadn''t actually broken through yet. Zhao Feng''s strength had already surpassed the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord, but once his body reached the level of a Mystic Light Realm, he would be considered a genuine Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    Zhao Feng drank the portion of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey. He instantly felt a pure and sacred aura spreading throughout his organs and limbs, then into his Crystal Core dimension and his Lightning Soul Body.


    Zhao Feng felt as if his entire body had ascended for a short moment.


    However, the effectiveness of this portion of Hundred Origin Sacred honey was weaker than the first time he used it.


    Zhao Feng immediately started to circulate his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Hu~~ Weng! Weng!


    His body started to become taller, and golden-blue light flashed around his body. Profound lines of lightning blinked around the surface of his body and occasionally released light.


    After circulating the Sacred Lightning Body, his absorption rate doubled, and the energy was used to refine his body.


    This time, Zhao Feng decided to use all of the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey on increasing his state of existence.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes as a layer of Fire of Wind Lightning surrounded him.


    Weng~ Weng~ Crack!


    Zhao Feng''s bones cracked at a certain moment, and scarlet-golden lines started to extend and release light on his skin.


    Hu~


    In an instant, Zhao Feng''s bones and body suddenly became taller, and he seemed to turn into a real giant.


    In terms of size, he had already exceeded normal humans.


    Weng~


    A faint scarlet-golden layer of lightning flashed around Zhao Feng, and he radiated an invisible force.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The ground around Zhao Feng instantly started to turn black.


    Luckily, all of this was within his Misty Spatial World, or else his residence in the real world would have been destroyed.


    Weng!


    The layer of golden-red light around Zhao Feng became brighter and almost materialized. At last, this scarlet-golden light condensed around Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Sixth level of the Sacred Lightning Body!"


    Joy appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.

 1020 Non-Humans Attacking

    Chapter 1020 - Non-Humans Attacking


    "Sixth level of the Sacred Lightning Body!"


    Joy appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    A couple breaths later, Zhao Feng calmed down, and his body size returned to normal. The lightning around his body also quickly faded away.


    After his Sacred Lightning Body broke through to the 6th level, Zhao Feng would be able to fight against normal Sacred Lords without the use of his eye-bloodline or True Yuan.


    If he cultivated the Undying Sacred Lightning Body to the late stages, his power, defense, and recovery speed would have no weaknesses.


    After his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body reached the 6th level, he could also start to cultivate secret techniques such as the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm and Physical Force Lightning Domain.


    Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm ¨C even more forceful than the Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch, very destructive, and countered the power of domains and Little Worlds.


    Physical Force Lightning Domain ¨C by relying on the usage of Wind Lightning True Yuan and physical force to form a domain of lightning, it could heavily restrict the enemy and buff Zhao Feng''s Lightning Domain.


    The Physical Force Lightning Domain was similar to a domain or Little World. Once he cultivated it, it was the same as having one more domain.


    Furthermore, according to what Zhao Feng knew, he now met the requirements to cultivate Rebirth from Blood, but the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body didn''t have the cultivation technique for it.


    "I''ll first cultivate the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm, then¡­" Zhao Feng planned.


    Although he had cultivated the Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch to the maximum, it couldn''t deal very much damage to the Sacred Bodies of Sacred Lords. If Zhao Feng met a Sacred Lord that specialized in body-strengthening, his Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch would basically do nothing.


    Of course, the requirements for the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm were much higher than the Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch. The Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm focused on the word "destroy"¨C to destroy everything. The bigger the target, the more effective it was.


    The Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm worked well with the Fire of Wind Lightning, and it could destroy as much as possible.


    Zhao Feng suppressed his Sacred Lightning Body and started to practice the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm.


    Boom! Weng! Weng!


    Zhao Feng thrust out, and a large golden-red palm with countless arcs of lightning shot out, making the air shake.


    Being the owner of the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng could feel any change in this Little World.


    "It is indeed very destructive to domains."


    Zhao Feng was stunned.


    This palm technique was very destructive against domains, Little Worlds, and even Sacred Bodies of Sacred Lords to some extent.


    Weng! Shu! Shu!


    Zhao Feng didn''t dare to train this skill at full power or else it would damage the Little World within the Misty Spatial World.


    While training the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm, Zhao Feng was also adapting to the 6th level of the Sacred Lightning Body.


    In this period of time, the three members of the Ji Family and Tie Hongling had come over, but they didn''t disturb him after seeing that he was in seclusion.


    "This Zhao Feng only knows how to cultivate!" Tie Hongling stomped her foot outside Zhao Feng''s residence and left fuming.


    Zhao Feng had been cultivating ever since he left Ling Province and was still cultivating after arriving. This gave her no chance to initiate contact with Zhao Feng.


    On this day, Zhao Feng felt a surge of Intent outside his residence and came out of the Misty Spatial World.


    "Senior Zhao, we''re gathering!" Ji Tianming immediately said.


    Disturbing others while they were in seclusion was a very dangerous action, but the situation was urgent.


    "What happened?"


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He remembered the Ninth Prince saying that he would direct some soldiers from other places, and they would be from the forces that supported him.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were in Lan Province as well. This was a good piece of news; at least Zhao Feng could protect the members of his own force.


    However, only three days had passed since he entered seclusion. Directing the troops shouldn''t have happened so quickly.


    "The enemy is attacking!" Excitement and solemnness appeared in Ji Tianming''s eyes.


    "Oh?" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    A dozen thousand miles away from Jiabao City was Moon Dragon City, which the non-humans ruled over.


    Although the overall strength of Moon Dragon City was stronger than Jiabao City, the non-humans had done nothing so far and were in a defensive state.


    According to the intel, the area that the Ninth Prince was stationed had been heavily eroded by the non-humans, and Moon Dragon City was "a loner in enemy grounds." Therefore, Moon Dragon City needed to wait for the other non-humans nearby to gather before they could unleash their attack.


    This was why Moon Dragon City had two Sacred Lords. From this, one could see how difficult the task given to the Ninth Prince was.


    However, this was good news for Zhao Feng.


    "Two non-human Sacred Lords equals forty thousand war points!" Zhao Feng cracked a smile.


    One Great Origin Core Realm was ten war points, a King was one hundred, an Emperor was one thousand, while Sacred Lords were worth twenty thousand each. Furthermore, there were only a limited number of Sacred Lords in both lord dynasties. It was extremely rare for one city to have two Sacred Lords.


    The strength of these Sacred Lords was a bit weaker than Sacred Lord Ten Thousand Lightning, Sacred Lord Black Demon, and company from the Crown Prince trial.


    "In the past, the troops within Moon Dragon City were stronger than us, but they never attacked."


    "Looks like the non-humans know that Jiabao City has switched generals."


    The True Spirit Realm cultivators in the back lines within Jiabao City discussed.


    The Ninth Prince was with the captains on the city walls. Countless non-human soldiers were outside Jiabao City and radiated an evil battle-intent.


    "Your Highness, what should we do?"


    A two-star captain had a solemn expression. The non-humans of Moon Dragon City definitely knew that Jiabao City''s sole Sacred Lord had left.


    Without the battle-power of a Sacred Lord, Jiabao City was in dire straits, but if the general didn''t give them the order to retreat and they left on their own accord, they would be considered deserters.


    "Use defense as offense!" the Ninth Prince said in a certain tone.


    While others thought that Jiabao City didn''t have any Sacred Lord battle-power present, the Ninth Prince and the Ji Family members knew that Zhao Feng wasn''t any weaker than normal Sacred Lords.


    It was easier to defend than attack. Even with Zhao Feng''s help, the Ninth Prince didn''t have much hope to conquer Moon Dragon City. Now that Moon Dragon City''s forces were attacking instead, it made the Ninth Prince and Old Ying happy.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t reveal your strength." Old Ying and the Ninth Prince messaged Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, they didn''t want to reveal their hidden card, Zhao Feng, yet. They would defend first and gradually weaken the strength of the non-humans. Once the time was right, they would counterattack and completely take over Moon Dragon City in one fell swoop.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. At the same time, he got to know the two Sacred Lords of Moon Dragon City. They were Sacred Lord Raging Force of the crocodile-human race and Sacred Lord Dark Shadow of the scorpionmen race. Amongst the two, Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was the enemy''s general.


    "Use defense as offense?"


    The captains almost fell from the city wall after hearing what the Ninth Prince said. They were the ones at a disadvantage and should obviously be focusing on defense, but where the heck did offense come from?


    "Sigh¡­."


    Many captains sighed. The Crown Prince was too young and didn''t even know the difference in strength between himself and the enemy. They might very likely lose the city in this battle.


    "Lady Hongling, we''ll be relying on you this battle!" A captain next to Tie Hongling said to her.


    Tie Hongling had the battle-power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord, and with the help of a few others, she should be able to stall a Sacred Lord.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s see who gets more war points this time!" Tie Hongling completely ignored what the captain said and looked at Zhao Feng as bright lights flashed through her eyes.


    The expression of the captain became ugly, but he didn''t dare to say anything. All he could do was glance at Zhao Feng in disdain and laugh coldly in his heart.


    The experts that guarded the northwestern region against the non-humans didn''t know too much about the rest of the lord dynasty, so only a few people knew about Zhao Feng''s performance in the Crown Prince trial.


    "Sure!" Zhao Feng replied simply.


    "This time, I won''t go easy." Tie Hongling revealed a charming smile.


    Although she had lost during their spar before, she believed that, in a real fight, the loser would be Zhao Feng. It was time for her to display herself in front of Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    The enemy troops ahead suddenly started to move.


    "Attack Jiabao City and cut the humans inside into pieces!" a big non-human male covered in dark green scaly armor roared.


    This non-human was one of the Sacred Lords of Moon Dragon City ¨C Sacred Lord Raging Force.


    "Kill!"


    Limitless non-human soldiers and captains charged over with frenzy and bloodthirstiness like a swarm of black clouds.


    "Hahaha, did you really think that I wouldn''t attack Jiabao City? You took away a Sacred Lord general and put a Quasi-Sacred Lord General instead!"


    Sacred Lord Raging Force couldn''t help but laugh. Although their main task was just to guard Moon Dragon City and wait for the other non-humans, Jiabao City took away their only Sacred Lord. After he and Sacred Lord Dark Shadow reported this to the upper echelon, they went on the offensive.


    Since there might be some danger in actually taking over the territory, the goal of the attack this time was just to kill all the experts within Jiabao City.


    "Defend!"


    The captains from Jiabao City''s side all flew out. This allowed them to stall the enemy captains and direct their own troops.


    Zhao Feng flew out alongside Emperor Ghost Scales and company.


    Boom! Ding! Bam!


    The non-humans surged forward like a desolate beast and charged toward the lines of Jiabao City''s defense.


    The captains and soldiers of Jiabao City tried their best to defend and clashed against the non-humans.


    The instant they clashed, there were all kinds of ice, fire, water, and lightning shooting through the sky.


    "Little kiddo, you managed to become an Emperor at such a young age? You should be some genius from a big family. Unfortunately, you shouldn''t have come to the battlefield!"


    A snakeman clad in dark red scaly armor was roaring with laughter.


    Zhao Feng didn''t say anything. He simply suppressed his Sacred Lightning Body to 50% of his full power. To others, he was just at the level of an Emperor.


    Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!


    Zhao Feng punched out, and metallic mountains crushed toward the snakeman.


    "This brat''s Fist Intent is so profound!" The snakeman in dark scaly red armor had a grim expression.


    He had no advantage against Zhao Feng. Instead, he felt retrained by this youth, and he was unable to use his full power.


    The sky in the distance suddenly darkened, and a fierce aura appeared.


    "Hahaha, who from Jiabao City dares to fight me!?"


    Sacred Lord Raging Force stood in the clouds and gazed down at Jiabao City. The Sacred Lord that originally guarded this place had left, so he really wanted to know who from Jiabao City could fight him.


    "Come with me!" Tie Hongling charged out at this moment, and her bloodline started to burn. She was like a light of attraction on the battlefield.


    Seeing that Tie Hongling was so fierce, the captains from Jiabao City let out a breath. Two three-star captains charged into the sky and challenged the Sacred Lord alongside Tie Hongling.

 1021 Lightning-Quick Strike

    Chapter 1021 - Lightning-Quick Strike


    Tie Hongling and two other Quasi-Sacred Lords from Jiabao City charged into the clouds.


    "Hahaha, you humans are actually sending a female to fight against me?" Sacred Lord Raging Force''s voice boomed across the sky.


    "However, she fits me perfectly!"


    Sacred Lord Raging Force looked at Tie Hongling with a blazing gaze. Even though he wasn''t a human, he felt that Tie Hongling was much better looking than most non-human females.


    "You? Ugly monster!" Tie Hongling''s eyes were cold, and her curved blades started to burn as a wave of heat swept in every direction.


    "As expected of the Blood Devil Sun bloodline. So strong!"


    "Tie Hongling is a peerless prodigy only below that of Tie Lingyun in the Tie Family!"


    The two three-star captains behind Tie Hongling exclaimed in their hearts.


    Boom!


    A blast of flames surged out from Tie Hongling''s back and merged into Heaven and Earth, forming a blazing Little World. If one looked from afar, it would seem like a blazing sun that burned across Heaven and Earth.


    Tie Hongling didn''t dare to be arrogant against a non-human Sacred Lord.


    Hu!


    Tie Hongling summoned the power of her Little World and used a secret skill that allowed her to appear in front of Sacred Lord Raging Force extremely quickly. Her blood-colored curved blades were able to unleash more power with the help of the Little World''s power, and two enormous flaming strikes were unleashed.


    At the same time, the two Quasi-Sacred Lords appeared on each side of Sacred Lord Raging Force and unleashed their Little Worlds as they attacked Sacred Lord Raging Force with full power.


    "Chaos Yuan Force Body!"


    Sacred Lord Raging Force could tell that Tie Hongling was not simple, and he instantly released a surge of physical force that doubled the size of his body. Golden lines appeared on his dark green scales, and the powerful physical pressure radiating from him made the Little Worlds of Tie Hongling and company tremble.


    "Come!"


    Sacred Lord Raging Force''s physical power was astounding after he used his Chaos Yuan Force Body and clashed with the three Quasi-Sacred Lords who had all unleashed their Little Worlds.


    Peng! Peng! Boom!


    "What power!"


    Tie Hongling''s defense was still weaker than Sacred Lord Raging Force''s even after using the Scarlet Jade Glass Body of the Tie Family.


    Sacred Lord Raging Force had the natural advantage, and he could unleash more power with his body-strengthening technique. While the female in front of him was indeed strong, she was not his match.


    Boom!


    Sacred Lord Raging Force twirled his dark green light and smashed onto Tie Hongling''s Little World.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Any random shockwave from the Sacred Lord-level battle in the sky could summon a storm in the battlefield below.


    There were already fewer captains from Jiabao City in comparison to the non-humans, and after the two three-star captains and Tie Hongling went to stall Sacred Lord Raging Force, the battlefield below was completely one-sided.


    The Ninth Prince stood on the city wall and looked into the distance.


    "The general of the non-humans, Sacred Lord Dark Shadow, hasn''t done anything yet!"


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was the person in charge of Moon Dragon City. He was a powerful Sacred Lord from the scorpionmen race, and he was a level stronger than Sacred Lord Raging Force. He specialized in speed and critical attacks. His defense and body-strength weren''t bad either.


    The Ninth Prince wasn''t scared of Sacred Lord Dark Shadow though. He wanted to finish off both Sacred Lords at once.


    Sacred Lord Cang Qiong''s aura was hidden within Jiabao City, and he watched the situation on the battlefield. He was sent here to protect the Ninth Prince and wouldn''t fight for him. However, even if he didn''t do anything, the Ninth Prince wouldn''t lose this battle.


    "The Ninth Prince is not bad!" Sacred Lord Cang Qiong faintly smiled.


    They made Tie Hongling reduce the suspicions of the non-humans with her extremely strong battle-power. When Zhao Feng took action, they would be able to kill Sacred Lord Raging Force for sure. As for Sacred Lord Dark Shadow though, Sacred Lord Cang Qiong thought that it would be impossible to kill him.


    "But the middle and lower echelons are at a very big disadvantage. A lot of troops will be lost." Sacred Lord Cang Qiong looked at the fights between the captains.


    "Dammit, this brat¡­!" The non-human snakemen that Zhao Feng was fighting against was completely suppressed by Zhao Feng, and his scales were covered in injuries.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng walked with confidence, and his aura was steady.


    "Our captain is so strong!"


    "I didn''t expect Captain to be able to suppress a Quasi-Sacred Lord even though he''s just an Emperor!"


    Many of the soldiers that Zhao Feng was in charge of were stunned by his performance. They originally didn''t think much of their new captain, especially since Zhao Feng was too young and not as famous as Tie Hongling. However, after witnessing Zhao Feng''s strength, they had nothing else to say.


    "Old Jia, come help me, quickly!" The snakemen asked for reinforcements helplessly.


    "Useless. A human Emperor managed to beat you like this?" A thick-skinned non-human that had a horn on his nose rushed over.


    Bam!


    After the two non-human Sacred Lords teamed up, they immediately turned the tide.


    Weng~ Zzzzz!


    The scarlet-golden lightning around Zhao Feng suddenly became a little brighter, and he was now using 60% of his Sacred Lightning Body''s full power.


    "Eh? This brat''s strength¡­!?" The nose-horned non-human revealed a surprised expression as Zhao Feng punched out once more.


    Boom!


    The two non-human captains circulated their defenses, but they were still pushed back. Amongst them, the snake-man now had severe injuries.


    "How is this possible? Is this brat using his full power only now?" The snake-man Captain was also stunned. He called over a friend but was still suppressed by Zhao Feng. It was hard to describe the frustration he was feeling.


    Bam! Bam!


    Zhao Feng summoned devastating lightning and power as he clashed against the two Quasi-Sacred Lords. The attacks of the two Quasi-Sacred Lords were pushed aside by a surge of Wind Lightning, leaving Zhao Feng unharmed.


    "You two are retards. He specializes in body-strengthening. Get away from him!" Another non-human captain arrived.


    The three non-human captains moved away from Zhao Feng and attacked from afar.


    Weng~~ Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A pair of scarlet lightning wings spread behind Zhao Feng''s back.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng sped toward the snake-man captain and crushed over with his Sacred Lightning force.


    The snake-man captain wasn''t able to run away even if he wanted to against Zhao Feng''s speed. He could only stand there and take a beating, so the two other captains had to help protect the snake-man captain.


    Boom!


    The three non-human captains became more surprised the longer they fought. The snake-man captain that first fought against Zhao Feng was already exhausted.


    Zhao Feng was managing to deal with three captains at once, and they were respectively two Quasi-Sacred Lords and one Emperor. This action obviously caught the attention of the nearby soldiers and captains.


    "Is this our captain? He''s so strong!"


    "What profound battle skills! He has no weaknesses in terms of speed, power, or defense!"


    Many Kings from Jiabao City were stunned. They had to admit that the Crown Prince brought very strong people with him. No wonder he didn''t panic after the non-humans decided to attack.


    On the other hand, the non-humans couldn''t take it anymore, and another Quasi-Sacred Lord finally entered the fight against Zhao Feng.


    Four captains against Zhao Feng alone.


    70%!


    Lightning flashed around Zhao Feng''s body as the power of lightning increased a bit more.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng thrust out another palm.


    Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!


    A giant scarlet-golden palm phantom with countless streaks of scarlet lightning crushed forward. Zhao Feng only used his body in this attack and not the power of his Wind Lightning True Yuan.


    Boom! Weng~ Weng~


    The four captains circulated their True Yuan at the same time to block Zhao Feng''s palm, and they each felt their entire body tingle. They felt as if their arms were about to explode.


    "What a mystical skill. This brat''s probably using his killing card!" a non-human with a pointy nose said.


    Sacred Lord Raging Force also sensed this abnormality on the battlefield with his Divine Sense.


    "This human brat''s strength¡­" Sacred Lord Raging Force was slightly surprised.


    Although the humans had no Sacred Lords, he didn''t expect the Quasi-Sacred Lord geniuses to be so strong


    Sacred Lord Raging Force suddenly seemed to sense something and turned around.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s headed into battle now!"


    The captains from Jiabao City were scared. They were originally at a disadvantage, but because Zhao Feng managed to stall four captains by himself, it was slightly better. However, the strongest Sacred Lord of Moon Dragon City was about to attack now.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow turned into a dark streak of light and sped onto the battlefield. The sky instantly darkened, and a surge of evil aura spread in every direction.


    "Kill all the humans!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s voice was deep as he glanced at Zhao Feng.


    "Kill!" The morale of the non-human soldiers increased dramatically after their two Sacred Lords took action.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow didn''t attack the Ninth Prince. Instead, he went for Zhao Feng. Instinct told him that this youth was more troublesome.


    "Captain Zhao Feng!"


    "Not good, Sacred Lord Dark Shadow is going to attack our captain!"


    The hearts of everyone in Zhao Feng''s group trembled. No matter how strong their captain was, he couldn''t be Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s match, right?


    "Sacred Lord Dark Shadow!"


    The four captains that were fighting with Zhao Feng were excited but scared at the same time. They were happy because this youth would definitely die now that Sacred Lord Dark Shadow took action, but they were scared that they would be punished after the battle.


    Hu~~ Weng! Weng!


    The wings behind Zhao Feng''s back fluttered quickly as he evaded Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s attack.


    "Anticipated it?" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was stunned. An Emperor managed to dodge his attack!


    After dodging Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s attack, Zhao Feng ran in a certain direction as if he was trying to escape, but in reality, he was approaching Sacred Lord Raging Force.


    "Don''t even think about it!"


    The four captains were extremely annoyed and immediately went forward, but the next instant, the scarlet-golden lightning around Zhao Feng suddenly released a dazzling light as an unparalleled force radiated from him.


    Wah¡­!


    The four non-human captains felt like a mountain was crushing them, and they all spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood. The tired and relatively-more injured snake-man captain was directly killed by the 6th level of Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body.


    Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!


    The next instant, Zhao Feng used a spatial technique that allowed him to turn into a bolt of lightning and appear directly behind Sacred Lord Raging Force.


    "What!?" Sacred Lord Raging Force, who was currently fighting Tie Hongling and company, suddenly felt a sense of life-and-death danger.


    Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!


    Zhao Feng circulated all his power and thrust downward as he merged his Fire of Wind Lightning True Yuan in. The Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm this time contained Zhao Feng''s full power.


    A scarlet-golden palm phantom appeared above Sacred Lord Raging Force''s head. Terrifying Fire of Wind Lightning churned within it.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Sacred Lord Raging Force''s Chaos Yuan Force Body was shattered by Zhao Feng''s palm, and blood splattered across the sky.


    "This¡­ how is this possible!?" Sacred Lord Raging Force spat out fresh blood and was completely stunned. All of this had happened too quickly.


    Sacred Lord Raging Force immediately circulated his True Yuan to get rid of the numbing pain in his body and steady himself, but the next instant, Zhao Feng appeared on his right.


    A purple-golden crystal of lightning suddenly shot out of Zhao Feng''s faint golden left eye and into Sacred Lord Raging Force''s soul.


    "Arghh!" Sacred Lord Raging Force instantly started to scream as ten thousand bolts of lightning seemed to thunder down.


    At the same time, another red palm thrust out toward him!


    Peng! Bam!


    Sacred Lord Raging Force''s body and Yuan Soul shattered.


    The entire process happened within the span of three breaths. Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was still dazed, and the hearts of Tie Hongling and the two other captains in the sky were rapidly beating as they looked at Zhao Feng who was covered in scarlet lightning.

 1022 Power of the Palm

    Chapter 1022 - Power of the Palm


    Sacred Lords were the highest battle-powers in the battlefield, and they were unreachable existences for the soldiers. A clash between Sacred Lords could destroy Heaven and Earth, and it was rare for Sacred Lords to die at all ever since this war started.


    After all, there were only one or two Sacred Lords in every city. When the difference in strength between both sides wasn''t that big, Sacred Lords couldn''t be killed.


    However, at this moment in time, a Sacred Lord on the non-human side who originally had a big advantage was killed!


    "Sacred Lord Raging Force!"


    "Sacred Lord Raging Force has been killed!"


    "How is this possible!?"


    Countless non-human soldiers and captains on the battlefield were stunned and couldn''t believe it. The shadow of fear covered the hearts of all the non-humans and reduced their morale dramatically.


    The captains that were just fighting with Zhao Feng felt their hearts jump and scalps tingle.


    "Is this his true strength?"


    "Even if he''s actually at the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord, how can he kill Sacred Lord Raging Force so easily?"


    The three non-human captains couldn''t believe that they had been fighting with such a terrifying opponent. It was obvious that this human had hidden his true strength because he wanted to kill a Sacred Lord, not them.


    On the other hand, the low morale of the humans was instantly boosted as screams and cheers sounded.


    "One of the non-human Sacred Lords is dead!"


    "Is this a ''secret weapon'' that came with the Crown Prince?"


    "So we do have a Sacred Lord-level battle-power expert here!"


    Countless soldiers and humans were extremely excited. Some of the captains that had heard of Zhao Feng''s legends before still couldn''t believe what they saw.


    "Zhao Feng!" Tie Hongling was dazed as she floated in the air.


    She originally thought that she might be able to injure Sacred Lord Raging Force with the other two Quasi-Sacred Lords, and perhaps if she used a few hidden cards, she would be able to kill him. However, Zhao Feng took away her prey just like that and instantly killed him.


    Furthermore, the strength that Zhao Feng just displayed was completely different from their spar earlier. His physical power was at least twice as strong.


    "Could he have been hiding his strength?" Tie Hongling was extremely stunned. If Zhao Feng had displayed such power back then, she would have definitely lost.


    Such a powerful and excellent male also had the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline of the Tie Family. Tie Hongling''s heart had never felt like this before!


    "This human¡­!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s expression was extremely ugly as he glanced at the cold youth in the sky and Sacred Lord Raging Force''s remains.


    At this moment, Sacred Lord Dark Shadow finally understood that this was the humans'' plan. They had purposely directed their only Sacred Lord away to lure them in. The humans had made preparations already and sent over a Quasi-Sacred Lord that wasn''t any weaker than peak Sacred Lords.


    However, why did this youth not kill Sacred Lord Raging Force from the beginning? Why did he only reveal his strength as soon as Sacred Lord Dark Shadow appeared?


    "It''s your turn now!" Zhao Feng''s gaze turned toward Sacred Lord Dark Shadow below.


    "What!?" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s heart shook as he understood. The reason this youth didn''t reveal his true power from the beginning was because he wanted to kill him as well!


    "Hmph, ridiculous!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow snickered coldly.


    Even though Zhao Feng had slain Sacred Lord Raging Force, it was because the latter was off guard and suffered an ambush. No one present expected this to happen. Sacred Lord Raging Force had been too arrogant and was thus killed.


    However, this battle was indeed not looking very good. While Sacred Lord Dark Shadow believed that Zhao Feng couldn''t kill him in a one-on-one fight, the humans still had the female from the Tie Family who was extremely strong.


    Weng~ Boom!


    The Ninth Prince stood on Jiabao City''s wall and held the ancient green sword of lightning as he channeled his draconic providence into the sky.


    "Full retreat!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow roared.


    The non-humans instantly stopped what they were doing and started to rush back toward Moon Dragon City.


    There were usually two types of retreating orders. The first was "Retreat!" This basically meant counterattacking while moving back. The other was "Full retreat!" This meant to give up on resisting and run back as quickly as they could.


    At this moment, the non-humans initiated a full retreat!


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow turned into a black streak of light and sped backward.


    "Get back here!"


    The wings behind Zhao Feng''s back released a brilliant burst of Fire of Wind Lightning, which pushed his speed to the maximum. Zhao Feng''s figure flashed and appeared before Sacred Lord Dark Shadow, stopping him with his physical force.


    "Human bastard, fuck off! Do you really think that I would be scared of you in single combat!?"


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow gritted his teeth. Although he specialized in speed, the speed of this human brat in front of him wasn''t any slower than his.


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow spread his arms and turned them into a large pair of scorpion claws that stabbed toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn''t move. He simply circulated the Fire of Wind Lightning so that he was covered in scarlet-golden light.


    Ding! Bam!


    Zhao Feng took the attack of Sacred Lord Dark Shadow head-on, then thrust out a palm.


    "This physical defense¡­!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow felt his scorpion claws turn numb. This youth in front of him relied on body-strength alone to block his attack head-on. One had to know that the scorpionmen race specialized in powerful one-hit attacks that could even counter body-strengthening experts.


    "Kill the non-humans!" The Ninth Prince raised the ancient green sword of lightning and commanded.


    Ding! Boom¡­ Bam¡­!


    The human soldiers and captains pursued with full power while the Ninth Prince and Tie Hongling charged toward Sacred Lord Dark Shadow.


    "I can''t waste any more time." Sacred Lord Dark Shadow squished a talisman and escaped through Zhao Feng''s offense.


    "Zhao Feng, stop Sacred Lord Dark Shadow! Don''t let him get away!" The Ninth Prince turned into a green streak of light and rushed over.


    They needed to kill as many non-human Sacred Lords as they could. If Sacred Lord Dark Shadow got away today, he would kill many humans in the future.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly as a layer of dark thunderclouds merged into the sky.


    The next instant, Sacred Lord Dark Shadow appeared in a chaotic dimension. The laws here heavily restricted his speed.


    "This brat''s Little World is so weird!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was surprised. He had never seen the power of a Quasi-Sacred Lord be so high. He could feel an old and ancient aura within this human youth''s Little World.


    Weng~ Boom!


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow didn''t dare to be arrogant. He released the power of his Little World as well. A layer of black swarmed toward Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning.


    The Little Worlds of Sacred Lords were completely different. Although they could only use projections, the power of a projection could still crush the Little World of an Emperor.


    However, at this moment, Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s Little World projection only had a tiny advantage against Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning.


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow couldn''t care any less though as long as he wasn''t affected by Zhao Feng''s Little World and could run away successfully. The Ninth Prince and Tie Hongling were slightly slower and wouldn''t be able to arrive within a short amount of time.


    "Hehe, I''ll give it a test then!" Zhao Feng revealed a smile.


    After all, this was the Little World projection of a Sacred Lord. It was already not bad that Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning could counter it.


    Weng~ Shu! Shu!


    Fire of Wind Lightning surrounded Zhao Feng as his physical power started to gather on his right palm. At the same time, the Little World of Wind Lightning also strengthened Zhao Feng.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm ¨C World Destroying Palm!"


    The power of his Sacred Lightning Body weakened the instant he unleashed this attack. A golden-red palm phantom as large as a mountain shot out and smashed through everything in its path.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s attack landed on Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s Little World projection.


    Boom! Weng~ Weng~


    The Sacred Lightning force and the power of Wind Lightning was released through the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm and started to enter the structure of the Little World projection.


    "What the hell¡­ the structure of my Little World!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s heart jumped.


    He suddenly felt the Little World within his body start to shake, and part of the fundamental structures were destroyed. At the same time, the power of his Little World projection also became a little more chaotic. It became weaker, and part of the power of the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm landed on Sacred Lord Dark Shadow.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng''s Little World of Lightning used this chance to sweep in and suppress Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s Little World projection.


    "So that''s how it is. The weaker the foundation of a Little World, the easier it is to destroy."


    Zhao Feng gained some comprehension after using the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm.


    In reality, most Emperors formed their Little Worlds in a rush since they didn''t have any experience or the guidance of a senior, and they would heavily regret it in the future. Some Sacred Lords would spend a lot of time and effort to forcefully strengthen their Little Worlds. Some Sacred Lords would even destroy their Little World and create a new one.


    "I might be able to destroy the Little World of normal Sacred Lords in one palm!" Zhao Feng felt smug. It was obvious that Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was a more experienced Sacred Lord though, so his Little World was relatively stable.


    "This human bastard¡­!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s scalp tingled. He never thought that a Quasi-Sacred Lord would be able to damage the foundation his Little World.


    One had to know that, as long as the foundation of a Little World wasn''t destroyed, it would be able to recover as long as there was enough energy.


    Without any hesitation, Sacred Lord Dark Shadow turned into a giant scorpion surrounded by darkness and tried to run away.


    Tie Hongling, who was still chasing after Zhao Feng, was full of shock and fear. One could argue that Zhao Feng killed Sacred Lord Raging Force by catching him off guard, but now Zhao Feng was actually chasing after Sacred Lord Dark Shadow and giving him a beating. If Sacred Lord Dark Shadow didn''t specialize in speed, he probably would have ended up like Sacred Lord Raging Force already.


    "Sky Locking Bow!"


    A red arrow of Wind Lightning formed on a dark silver bow in Zhao Feng''s hand and shot into the air with a Beng~~


    Whoosh!


    The next time the arrow appeared was when it pierced through Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s chest.


    After turning into a scorpion, Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s defense and size had become greater. He managed to reduce part of the Sky Locking Bow''s damage, but it was ultimately useless.


    Beng~~ Whoosh! Beng~~ Whoosh¡­.


    Zhao Feng pulled back the bowstring several times and unleashed scarlet arrows one after another. They shot through the air and stabbed into Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s body.


    "Dammit, this human bastard¡­!" The scorpion that was Sacred Lord Dark Shadow howled in the air. Zhao Feng''s attacks heavily damaged his body and affected his speed.


    "Because of the war points, I can''t let you ¨C who is already severely injured ¨C be killed by someone else!"


    The wings behind Zhao Feng''s back fluttered as he chased Sacred Lord Dark Shadow and thrust out his palm.


    "Die!" Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s tail turned into a black spike and stabbed toward Zhao Feng.


    He was already severely injured and was no longer faster than Zhao Feng.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng used a Soul eye-bloodline technique and unleashed a purple-and-gold flame that exploded onto Sacred Lord Dark Shadow. At the same time, Zhao Feng used his agility to dodge Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s tail while appearing above Sacred Lord Dark Shadow and crushing down with his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Peng! Peng! Boom!


    Zhao Feng thrust out several palms and split Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s enormous body into countless pieces. Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s weak soul was killed by Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent before it was even able to run away.


    Another non-human Sacred Lord had died!

 1023 War Points

    Chapter 1023 - War Points


    "General!"


    "Lord Dark Shadow!"


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow, the general of Moon Dragon City had been killed.


    The non-human army instantly started to panic. This level of defeat was something that had never happened before since the start of the war.


    "Great!" The Ninth Prince cheered behind Zhao Feng.


    However, he had already realized that the two non-human Sacred Lords weren''t very strong. Sacred Lord Raging Force was the weakest, and Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was slightly weaker than the masked male that tried to assassinate him.


    It was because the opponents were only normal Sacred Lords that the Ninth Prince wasn''t worried. If these two Sacred Lords both had Sacred Lord Black Shark''s strength, the Ninth Prince wouldn''t feel any confidence even with Zhao Feng''s help.


    After all, the lifespan of Sacred Lords was in dozens of thousands of years, so the Sacred Lords that had lived for over ten thousand years were obviously a lot stronger than the Sacred Lords that had just broken through.


    "What a powerful eye-bloodline!"


    Sacred Lord Dark Shadow was killed before Tie Hongling even managed to participate in the fight, but she could see what was important. Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had surpassed normal Sacred Lords, and his Soul eye-bloodline techniques were extremely profound.


    For example, Tie Hongling specialized in physical attacks. Even if she managed to destroy Sacred Lord Raging Force''s body, she wouldn''t be able to destroy his soul, so he would''ve been able to escape unless Tie Hongling used a hidden card.


    Zhao Feng killed the two Sacred Lords, but he also used his Soul eye-bloodline techniques to destroy their souls.


    "Wait, Zhao Feng''s already killed two Sacred Lords¡­. That means he has forty thousand war points!" Tie Hongling suddenly remembered something, and her expression changed dramatically as she became angry. If she knew something like this would happen beforehand, she wouldn''t have used war points for the bet.


    However, even if she was going to lose, she couldn''t allow the difference between her and Zhao Feng to be so big.


    Whoosh!


    Tie Hongling immediately joined the battlefield below and circulated her Blood Devil Sun bloodline to slaughter the non-humans and unleash her frustration.


    "Kill! Kill all the non-humans!"


    The human forces had never been this excited before. They didn''t know how long it had been since they had killed enemies in such a manner. Furthermore, two non-human Sacred Lords even died in this battle. This was something that had never happened before.


    "Captain Zhao is far too strong!"


    "His battle-power does not match his rank!"


    Sweat appeared on some captains. They were captains as well, but the difference between them and Zhao Feng was too big.


    After killing two Sacred Lords, Zhao Feng turned toward the battlefield.


    "One Emperor is worth a thousand points, a Quasi-Sacred Lord is worth six thousand¡­."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes locked onto the non-human captains. Even though a mosquito was small, it was still meat!


    Mark of the God Eye!


    Zhao Feng left a mark behind on all the captains he could sense.


    "Sky Locking Bow!"


    A red arrow of Wind Lightning condensed on the dark silver bow in Zhao Feng''s hand and shot through the air with a Beng! The next instant, a red arrow of Wind Lightning pierced through the chest of a captain that was running away.


    With Zhao Feng''s Fire of Wind Lightning True Yuan and the grade of the Sky Locking Bow itself, he could kill almost everyone weaker than a Quasi-Sacred Lord with one arrow. Not many non-humans would be able to survive.


    Beng~ Whoosh!


    Another two-star captain was shot dead by Zhao Feng. This method was easy and simple.


    Beng~ Whoosh!


    A scarlet-golden arrow shot out and killed an Emperor that was running away.


    Zhao Feng just stood there and used his Sky Locking Bow to easily slay Emperors.


    Some non-human captains that were being chased by the human captains were also slain by Zhao Feng.


    Some captains were full of envy and jealousy when they saw Zhao Feng collecting war points so easily.


    "Zhao Feng, you¡­!" Tie Hongling was extremely frustrated. She was chasing after a non-human captain just now, but an arrow of lightning took the kill.


    Beng~ Whoosh!


    At this moment, this sound was like the sound of death. Every time it sounded, an Emperor would die.


    The non-human army instantly broke apart and ran as fast as they could. Zhao Feng had become their nightmare. However, no matter how far they ran, Zhao Feng could still kill any Emperor he had left a mark on without moving.


    The normal non-human soldiers felt lucky that they were so weak that they weren''t targeted by this terrifying human.


    Zhao Feng''s actions obviously took all the war points of many other human captains. It was extremely easy for Zhao Feng to kill these non-human captains, but if a human captain wanted to kill one, it was extremely hard.


    "This Zhao Feng isn''t even giving me a sip of the soup¡­!" One captain was angry.


    Zhao Feng slaying two Sacred Lords had turned the tide around, and he had become the strongest expert in the army. He was a savior to them. However, his current actions reduced the impression of him in the other captain''s hearts.


    "Brother Zhao, your war points are probably enough to enter the top 2000 of the Lan Province War Board Rankings. Let the other captains have some too!" the Ninth Prince said.


    One had to know that the War Board Rankings were calculated from the start of the war, and anyone within the top 5000 of each province was an elite that had been fighting for over half a year at the least. However, Zhao Feng had already reached the top 2000 in his first battle. This was extremely shocking.


    Of course, this was because Zhao Feng had killed two Sacred Lords singlehandedly.


    Zhao Feng felt pretty helpless. He wanted to kill non-humans but wasn''t allowed to? Furthermore, from Zhao Feng''s point of view, it was only easy to obtain war points in the early stages of the war. As the war dragged out, more peerless geniuses and older Sacred Lords would start to appear on the battlefield.


    At that point, it would be hard even for Zhao Feng to kill Sacred Lords. He had killed Sacred Lord Raging Force because it was unexpected and the latter wasn''t on guard against him. Zhao Feng had killed Sacred Lord Dark Shadow by relying on his strength and the fact that his God''s Spiritual Eye countered Sacred Lord Dark Shadow''s speed and agility. But in the future¡­?


    The army followed the Ninth Prince, charged forward, and took over Moon Dragon City.


    The captains had complicated thoughts as they stood in Moon Dragon City.


    "We actually managed to take over Moon Dragon City!"


    "Hahaha, the non-humans are courting death!"


    "It''s all thanks to the Crown Prince''s commands and Little Friend Zhao''s help!"


    The captains all had smiles on their faces as they surrounded the Ninth Prince and Zhao Feng.


    After taking over Moon Dragon City, the Ninth Prince immediately reported everyone''s war points to the Lan Province War Hall.


    "Zhao Feng, why did you suppress your strength when sparring against me that day?" Tie Hongling''s eyes were hot, and her stunning beauty made the other males all fall for her.


    From Tie Hongling''s point of view, Zhao Feng only had one reason to do such a thing: Zhao Feng had already been completely attracted by her and had gone easy on her. He suppressed his strength because he didn''t want to harm her. However, Tie Hongling wanted to hear it from Zhao Feng personally.


    "I just broke through!" Zhao Feng replied honestly in an emotionless tone.


    "You¡­!" Tie Hongling''s face went slightly red, and she became mildly angry. She didn''t expect Zhao Feng to give a reply like this.


    "Little Friend Zhao''s talent is indeed stunning!"


    "The younger generation of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty can only look up to such cultivation speed."


    Some of the captains immediately spoke with smiles. Although they disliked the fact that Zhao Feng had taken some of their war points, Zhao Feng was the strongest person present ¨C he was the only person with the battle-power of a Sacred Lord. On top of that, Zhao Feng''s potential was unimaginable. They all needed to get on good terms with him.


    The Ninth Prince and Old Ying stood on the side and had smiles on their faces. They knew everything that was happening between Zhao Feng and Tie Hongling, and they could prove that Zhao Feng had indeed just broken through.


    After taking over Moon Dragon City, the Ninth Prince took out the treasury and rewarded the troops. Zhao Feng, Old Ying, and Tie Hongling became three-star captains without a doubt due to their performances, and Zhao Feng became a person that was only one rank lower than the Ninth Prince.


    The Ninth Prince''s forces obviously stayed in Moon Dragon City.


    After the battle ended, Zhao Feng entered seclusion once more. He was satisfied by his first use of the Sky Destroying Lightning Palm and had comprehended a lot of things.


    After all, Zhao Feng suppressed his power and cultivation when practicing in the Misty Spatial World so he didn''t destroy it. Since he suppressed them, he was unable to comprehend all of the move''s Intent.


    However, this time was different from the past. Whenever Zhao Feng gained some new understanding, he would leave Moon Dragon City and go to a place where no one was around to practice the full Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm.


    Over half of the territory in the three provinces was currently a warzone. It was hard to see anyone else apart from soldiers from the two lord dynasties.


    Boom! Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and thrust out his palm. Lightning seemed to run through the gold-and-red palm as the power of lightning and physical force merged together perfectly.


    Boom!


    A mountain in the distance was flattened by Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng then started to cultivate the Physical Force Lightning Domain. Zhao Feng was able to release it after several failures.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Several dozen miles within range of Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was immerse in a storm of physical force and lightning. Enemies in this area would be affected by the pressure of the Sacred Lightning Body''s 6th level.


    Zhao Feng just cultivated the Physical Force Lightning Domain and could probably only affect normal Emperors.


    "We''ll end here today."


    Zhao Feng put the Physical Force Lightning Domain back into his Sacred Lightning Body and returned to Moon Dragon City.


    A bit more than a dozen days later, the Ninth Prince''s report was received by the Lan Province War Hall, and it instantly caused some discussion.


    Many of the upper echelon members thought that the Ninth Prince was talented in both martial arts and academics. He actually managed to take over Moon Dragon City even though he didn''t have any Sacred Lords in his army.


    Some of the other upper echelon members didn''t think too much about it. Everyone knew that the princes had come to the battlefield to gain war points. It was the same for the other princes. Therefore, the forces that supported every prince would usually send a few experts to help the prince gain war points.


    For example, the Fourth, Thirteenth, Seventh, and Eighth Princes were all doing a good job in the war as well. Although the Ninth Prince''s army didn''t have any Sacred Lords, many geniuses in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, such as Tie Lingyun, Nan Gongsheng, Xuanyuan Wen, and many other Quasi-Sacred Lords all have the battle-power of a Sacred Lord, so it wasn''t surprising.


    Weng~ Weng!


    On a certain day, Zhao Feng''s name suddenly appeared on the 1982th spot on the Lan Province War Board Rankings.

 1024 Undercurren

    Chapter 1024 - Undercurrent


    In an area connected to Lan Province, there was a dark mountain range covered by black mist. This mountain rage was full of a wicked aura that swept across the sky. This was the main War Hall of the non-humans that were responsible for attacking Lan Province.


    Within a secret hall, a piece of gray paper floated before a muscular male with a giant black horn and eyes as big as bells.


    "Moon Dragon City has been conquered!" the giant horned male''s deep voice sounded.


    At the same time, weird figures appeared around the hall one after another.


    "Moon Dragon City has two Sacred Lords. They were defeated?" a wicked voice asked.


    Moon Dragon City was the furthest they had gone into enemy territory. This was why the War Hall placed great importance on it and sent out two Sacred Lords to defend it.


    "Both Sacred Lords were killed!" the giant horned male added.


    "Sacred Lord Demonic Bull, how is that possible? Could the humans have sent out their ancient Sacred Lords already?" another deep voice sounded throughout the hall.


    "They both died! There is definitely something suspicious." More suspicious voices sounded within the great hall.


    Even though these two Sacred Lords were not as strong as ancient Sacred Lords, it was still difficult to kill either one of them, but now both of them had been killed? This could only happen if the humans had sent late-stage Mystic Light Realms into the battlefield.


    "According to news from Meng City, they don''t even have any Sacred Lords. It''s probably a Great Gan prodigy!" Sacred Lord Demonic Bull continued.


    Meng City was the non-human-controlled city nearest Moon Dragon City. There were many powerful non-humans there, and some of the warriors that escaped from Moon Dragon City made it there.


    "Hmph. The Great Gan Lord Dynasty doesn''t care whether their prodigies live or die?" A voice full of killing intent sounded. It was obvious that this upper echelon member wanted to kill the prodigies of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty personally.


    "No need for you to go. A Serpent Son from the serpentmen race has come here. Let him go reinforce Meng City!" Sacred Lord Demonic Bull decided.


    The serpentmen race were the rulers of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty. Serpent Sons were like the princes of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "This time, it''s the Fifth Serpent Son that came. He should have brought many powerful subordinates with him as well," Sacred Lord Demonic Bull added.


    The war had just begun, and the non-humans were still making other preparations. Right now, they just needed to stabilize their footing; they would attack for real when the time was ripe.


    Sacred Lords were already rare, and there was no need to use even stronger battle-powers unless necessary since that would only increase the intensity of the war.


    At this moment, another voice sounded outside the hall; "News from the front line!"


    Whoosh!


    Black mist appeared within the hall, and a gray piece of paper floated in from outside and landed in Sacred Lord Demonic Bull''s hand.


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms conquered another city¡­." Sacred Lord Demonic Bull roughly summarized.


    "Hahaha, as expected of Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. He''s still able to maintain such results even now!"


    "Obviously. He''s a descendant of the Eight Great God Eyes, after all."


    ¡­


    Over the last couple days in Moon Dragon City, the Ninth Prince''s troops had arrived. These forces included members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, Duke Nanfeng''s forces, elites from the Grand Duke Lan''s Province, as well as a few other forces.


    "With these forces, we can take over Meng City!"


    The Ninth Prince was full of excitement. Meng City only had one Sacred Lord, but they had more low-tier soldiers since some had escaped from Moon Dragon City. However, as long as they were able to kill the top battle-power of Meng City, the outcome would be decided.


    "Report!" An intel agent outside the Ninth Prince''s hall rushed in.


    The Ninth Prince took the secret report, and his expression became slightly ugly.


    "Your Highness, what is it?" Old Ying immediately asked.


    "Meng City is getting reinforcements. It''s a Serpent Son," the Ninth Prince said.


    "That''s normal. Even if a Serpent Son didn''t come, they would have sent someone else," Old Ying immediately said.


    Taking over Moon Dragon City and killing two Sacred Lords would obviously draw the attention of the non-humans. A Serpent Son of the serpentmen race would at least be easier to deal with in comparison to some ancient Sacred Lords.


    "We won''t attack Meng City then. This needs to be well planned out."


    The Ninth Prince calmed down. He needed to wait for his scouts to at least learn how strong Meng City would become first before making a decision.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was walking through the exchange market within Moon Dragon City.


    This exchange market was obviously created by the troops within the city. Both soldiers and captains obtained spoils of war from killing the non-humans, but most of them weren''t very useful for themselves.


    At the beginning, exchanges only happened between small groups, but it started to expand until it became a market.


    Zhao Feng had obtained a lot of spoils of war after killing two Sacred Lords and a bunch of Emperors, but even that was very far off in comparison to the resources he had in the Misty Spatial World. However, his forces were currently expanding and needed resources urgently, which would require a large amount of wealth over time. Right now, Zhao Feng could use his spoils of war to trade for some items or resources he needed more urgently.


    The resources that Zhao Feng needed for the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body and Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique were too high-level, and he needed different elements.


    Apart from that, cultivating the first level of the Soul Splitting Technique had caused Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent to weaken. Although it had mainly recovered, that had cost him most of his Soul resources.


    "Brother Zhao Feng, I''ll give you discounts on whatever you want!"


    "Captain Zhao Feng, I have everything here. If you want anything, just tell me!"


    Many sellers spoke when Zhao Feng arrived at the market.


    Zhao Feng definitely had a lot of spoils of war after killing two Sacred Lords and dozens of Emperors. Furthermore, this was a great chance to build up a good relationship with him.


    Zhao Feng managed to obtain the resources he wanted very easily in the end. After exchanging for the resources he wanted, Zhao Feng went to where the soldiers were stationed.


    This place was filled with rows of simple houses, and Zhao Feng walked into one specific long row.


    "Grand Elder!" several figures exclaimed the instant Zhao Feng walked in.


    The leading person was a Peak-tier King who immediately walked forward.


    "Split these resources amongst yourselves." Zhao Feng gave this King an interspatial ring.


    "Thank you, Grand Elder!" This elder immediately bowed, and the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion behind them were extremely grateful.


    The performance of their Grand Elder had allowed them to receive better treatment, and now the Grand Elder had personally come to give them resources.


    "After the next battle ends, try and go back to the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and tell the Pavilion Master to send some members with potential," Zhao Feng messaged the leading elder in private.


    The battlefield was a good place to train oneself, and Zhao Feng could use the battlefield to train the members of his forces that had more potential. On top of that, war points could be traded for resources that could help the expansion of his forces.


    "Understood!" the elder said in a respectful tone.


    Zhao Feng then returned to his residence and started to cultivate.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and multi-tasked.


    "I''ve almost finished creating the 2nd level of the Soul Splitting Technique!"


    Zhao Feng started to think. The reason why his creation of the 2nd level progressed so quickly was because of Sacred Lord Star Demon''s help.


    However, even if he did manage to create the 2nd level of the Soul Splitting Technique, Zhao Feng wouldn''t cultivate it in a rush. After all, Sacred Lord Star Demon and he were the ones that had created it, not the original author. Zhao Feng needed to get rid of as many errors as possible.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had only just recovered. If he cultivated the 2nd level, it would fall back down again. On top of that, he didn''t need another soul clone anytime soon anyways.


    "At the moment, Zhao Wang is in the Darkness Ghost Clan and is already an elite amongst inner disciples. His cultivation has reached the middle stages of the Great Origin Core Realm."


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He had purposely suppressed Zhao Wang''s cultivation speed so that it wouldn''t make others suspicious, or else Zhao Wang would have reached the peak Great Origin Core Realm already given his talent, the Eye of Death, and the resources that Zhao Feng gave him.


    The little thieving cat was also using the resources that Zhao Feng gave it. It stayed within the Misty Spatial World, barely leaving.


    "The little thieving cat''s strength is also increasing rapidly!" Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    The little thieving cat''s strength grew alongside Zhao Feng. The difference between Emperors and Sacred Lords was too big. If the little thieving cat wasn''t strong enough, then it wouldn''t be able to follow Zhao Feng''s footsteps and help him.


    Hu!


    Resources within the Misty Spatial World moved in front of Zhao Feng.


    "Dark Lightning Blood Grass, Sky Wind Spiritual Bamboo, Nine Sky Green Fire Fruit!"


    Zhao Feng circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and absorbed the elements within these precious resources while purifying them as well. Three days passed, and the Fire of Wind Lightning True Yuan within Zhao Feng''s Crystal Core became purer. The occasional flicker of lightning flashed through it.


    "Late stages of Fire of Wind Lightning!"


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes. His Fire of Wind Lightning had been stuck at the early stages for a long time, and it had finally broken through.


    "The 8th level is the Fire of Wind Lightning, then the 9th level is the Earth of Wind Lightning¡­."


    Zhao Feng was already making preparations to cultivate the 9th level, which was the Earth of Wind Lightning.


    Next to the Ninth Prince''s city in Lan Province was the Thirteenth Prince''s stronghold. The Thirteenth Prince relied on his army of elites and one Sacred Lord to finally conquer a city, but the joy on his face immediately faded away after learning that the Ninth Prince had taken over Moon Dragon City already.


    The Ninth Prince had no Sacred Lords on his side and was still able to take over a city? This made him even more famous.


    "The non-humans in Moon Dragon City are retarded!" the Thirteenth Prince cursed.


    "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince is relying solely on Zhao Feng, and Moon Dragon City underestimated their opponents. This is why they were defeated." Xi Peng from Nine Darkness Palace spoke to the Thirteenth Prince.


    Xi Peng had entered the Crown Prince trial alongside the Thirteenth Prince and was a powerful Quasi-Sacred Lord. After the Crown Prince trial ended, he became stronger and would be able to attempt a breakthrough to the Mystic Light Realm soon.


    "That Zhao Feng is indeed troublesome!" The Thirteenth Prince would become angry whenever he heard Zhao Feng''s name.


    "Indeed, the main point is Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng is unable to stay on the battlefield¡­. Hehehe!" Xi Peng revealed a wicked smile.


    "Xi Peng, you have an idea?" The Thirteenth Prince revealed a joyful look.


    "After offending Nine Darkness Palace, Zhao Feng won''t have a good ending, just like with Nan Gongsheng!"

 1025 Unexpected Rewards

    Chapter 1025 - Unexpected Rewards


    "The Earth of Wind Lightning focuses on defense and control¡­."


    With the Fire of Wind Lightning and his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, Zhao Feng''s physical attacks were already strong enough. Therefore, the Earth of Wind Lightning was precisely what Zhao Feng needed.


    "It''s also easier to obtain resources that contain the element of Earth."


    Zhao Feng felt a bit better. Most precious minerals contained a certain amount of the Earth element, but it wasn''t worth wasting them since there was so little Earth elemental power. It was better to absorb actual Earth-elemental resources, but they were more common than other elements.


    Zhao Feng exited seclusion and walked out his room.


    "Captain Zhao Feng!" A personal guard of the Ninth Prince stood outside Zhao Feng''s residence.


    "What is it?" Zhao Feng asked.


    From the looks of it, this guard had been waiting here for a long time for Zhao Feng to come out of seclusion.


    "The general invites you over."


    The guard then led Zhao Feng to the Ninth Prince''s residence.


    "Brother Zhao, I have a very important mission for you this time. If you aren''t willing to accept, I won''t force you," the Ninth Prince said. He knew that Zhao Feng liked to be straightforward.


    "Our scouts went to gather intel from Meng City but never came out!" Old Ying told him a secret.


    Meng City was the non-human city nearest Moon Dragon City, and the scouts of both armies specialized in stealth and sensing. The result was obvious if the scouts hadn''t returned; they were discovered and killed.


    "According to some news from a while ago, a Serpent Son has arrived in Meng City. They are comparable to the princes of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. However, we don''t know how many experts this Serpent Son brought with him!" Old Ying continued to speak. Only by knowing the opponent would they be able to win.


    If the Ninth Prince attacked Meng City rashly and an early-stage Mystic Light Realm expert suddenly jumped out, it would be horrendous. Therefore, the two armies would usually send scouts to find out such information.


    "At this moment, the non-humans are patrolling in a ten-thousand-mile radius around Meng City. It''s even harder to find information!" Old Ying sighed and told Zhao Feng the details.


    "I wonder if Brother Zhao could become a scout and head to the non-human city to gather information?" the Ninth Prince told Zhao Feng what he had in mind.


    Everyone knew that being a scout was extremely dangerous. The enemy may have set up traps for scouts to fall into. Scouts could also sometimes learn false information.


    Therefore, this position was dangerous and important. Making someone who didn''t have professional training do this job was the same as throwing them into a firepit, but Zhao Feng was an exception.


    "If Brother Zhao doesn''t want to do it, I won''t force you. We''ll just use defense as offense and wait for them to attack. At that point in time, we''ll get to know how strong they are," the Ninth Prince continued.


    Zhao Feng personally coming to the front lines was already a great help. The Ninth Prince felt kind of bad if Zhao Feng had to become a scout as well, but he and Old Ying had discussed this idea for a long time.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng had the Misty Spatial World. If there was an accident, he could use it to run away easily. Secondly, gathering information with his eye-bloodline should be a simple task for Zhao Feng.


    "Leave the task of scouting to me!" Zhao Feng agreed after understanding what was going on.


    He was also curious as to why the non-humans didn''t continue to attack. There had to be something going on.


    Zhao Feng obviously wanted to fight because he would be able to gain more experience and more war points that he could trade for resources. He also hoped to know the enemy better before the two sides fought.


    "Brother Zhao is willing to scout the front lines?" The Ninth Prince and Old Ying paused for a moment. They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be so decisive.


    "Zhao Feng, do you need any helpers?" Old Ying asked.


    "I am more than enough!" Zhao Feng said before leaving the palace. He left behind a marking with the Misty Spatial World before leaving and heading toward Meng City.


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye sensed something before he made it very far.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Flying Spatial Technique and quickly closed in.


    It was a pile of rocks with several rotting bodies nearby. At this moment, a non-human was hiding within a big pile of boulders. His hands were pressed onto the ground and releasing a surge of stealthy mental energy.


    "Not good, someone''s approaching!" This non-human who had merged into the rocks was stunned; a human had suddenly entered range of his senses.


    "He can''t have found me. He should just be passing by!" This non-human thought. From the beginning, he hadn''t sensed any disturbance of mental energy, so he was sure that Zhao Feng hadn''t sensed him.


    He was the top scout from Meng City, and he had never failed to report with the help of the unique bloodline in his body.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng flew toward this non-human at a very fast speed and instantly approached.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng thrust his palm out and shattered the pile of boulders. A dark yellow figure full of fear instantly jumped.


    "You should be a non-human scout, right?" Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression as purple-and-gold light started to spin in his left eye.


    "Mental Energy Spike!" A purple-golden crystalline spike of lightning suddenly shot out from Zhao Feng''s left eye directly into the non-human''s soul.


    Plop!


    This non-human was only an Emperor, so he was instantly killed by Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng waved his hand and took this captain''s head and interspatial storage item.


    "An Emperor is one thousand war points. I can''t let it go to waste."


    Zhao Feng was pretty happy. His luck was pretty good; a non-human had given him some war points just after he left the city. After all, Emperor''s weren''t cabbages; each city only had a limited number of Emperors, and some were captains.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng continued on his path after killing this non-human scout.


    The distance between the two cities wasn''t too great. Five days later, Zhao Feng was several dozen thousand miles away from Meng City.


    "Perhaps I can use my Eye of Heaven to complete this mission," Zhao Feng thought. However, if he did this, it would reveal one of his hidden cards to the non-humans, and he wouldn''t get anything out of it.


    Zhao Feng continued to approach Meng City.


    In a forest outside Meng City:


    Boom!


    A loud explosion suddenly sounded in the forest as a chaotic disturbance of True Yuan started to move.


    "Hahaha, the prodigy of the leopardmen race is only so-so!" A non-human male with purple bat wings sped through the forest.


    Boom! Bam! Bam!


    Every time the male with purple bat wings flapped his wings, two purple tornadoes would howl through the air and rip everything apart.


    "You''re becoming weaker as well!" a deep voice sounded from the forest below, and a golden figure suddenly leapt toward the male with purple bat wings as a giant golden claw suddenly shot out.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A thunderous boom sounded wherever the giant golden claw passed by. The powerful wicked aura from it could shake one''s heart.


    Whoosh!


    The non-human male with purple wings quickly fluttered his wings and evaded the attack from the leopardman.


    Peng!


    The giant golden claw landed on the mountain behind the male with bat wings and instantly left behind four deep chasms.


    "Purple Wings Tornado!" The purple-winged male also unleashed a powerful attack.


    The battle-power on display by these two non-humans Quasi-Sacred Lords was enough to surprise normal Sacred Lords.


    The two of them were Quasi-Sacred Lord prodigies that had come alongside the Fifth Serpent Son to Meng City. They were bored after arriving in Meng City and occasionally went out to spar. They had found the scouts before by accident and killed them on the way.


    "Wait, I feel something weird!" the male with bat wings messaged.


    "Hmph! Is it another human scout? What idiots! We killed them last time and they still dare to come!?" The expression of the leopardman changed.


    "Hehehe, let''s see which one of us can kill this human scout first!" An evil smile appeared on the bat-winged male''s face.


    "Sure!" The leopardman revealed his battle intent.


    Whoosh!


    One purple and one golden streak of light immediately shot toward a certain direction.


    These two were prodigies from the batmen and leopardmen races respectively, and they both specialized in speed.


    "Hahaha, this scout is a Quasi-Sacred Lord. No wonder he dares to come here." The batman licked his lips and revealed an excited expression as he saw the golden-haired male slowly walking forward.


    "I didn''t expect to come across two big fish!" Zhao Feng was slightly excited. Two Quasi-Sacred Lords would be worth twelve thousand war points.


    "Human, die!" The leopardman turned into a golden leopard and pounced toward Zhao Feng as fast as lightning.


    Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same as he circulated his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Ding! Bam!


    The leopardman felt like tofu smashing into a metal wall when his golden claw landed on Zhao Feng''s chest. A powerful force of lightning instantly pushed the leopardman back, and cracks appeared in his golden claws as well.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng''s body was enough to take the attacks from normal Sacred Lords head-on. How could this leopard-man''s attacks damage Zhao Feng?


    "How¡­ how is this possible!?" The bat-winged male was slightly slower, and he almost fell from the sky in shock when he saw what happened.


    Whoosh!


    The bat-winged male immediately turned around and tried to escape. He didn''t know what happened, but this golden-haired male was too strong. He was even stronger than the prodigy he had seen from the serpentmen race.


    "Twelve thousand war points. I can''t let you two off."


    The Scarlet Wings of Lightning spread open behind Zhao Feng''s back as he turned into a bolt of lightning and instantly appeared in front of the leopardman and the bat-winged male.


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Bam!


    An ancient and destructive storm of lightning merged into the air behind Zhao Feng''s back. Everything within ten thousand miles instantly turned dark, and the two non-humans were heavily suppressed.


    "What a powerful Little World!" The bat-winged male was stunned. He felt that his True Yuan and bloodline were heavily restricted.


    Whoosh!


    The bat-winged male instantly released his Little World as well to reduce the pressure of Zhao Feng''s Little World.


    Whoosh! Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng''s speed was even faster than normal within the Little World of Wind Lightning. He instantly arrived before the bat-winged male and thrust his palm out. This nonchalant palm was the simplified version of the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm, but it still contained the essence of the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm.


    Boom~~


    The image of a scarlet-golden palm immediately smashed onto the bat-winged male''s purple Little World.


    Crack! Crack!


    Cracks instantly appeared on the bat-winged male''s Little World and started to extend.


    "How is this possible!? My Little World!"


    The bat-winged male''s heart rate sped up, and his entire body started to tremble.


    At this instant, cracks hadn''t appeared only on the surface of his Little World ¨C the foundational structure of his Little World had been damaged as well!

 1026 Dangerous Actions

    Chapter 1026 - Dangerous Actions


    "How is this possible!? My Little World!"


    The bat-winged male''s heart rate sped up, and his entire body started to tremble.


    At this instant, cracks hadn''t appeared only on the surface of his Little World ¨C the foundational structure of his Little World had been damaged as well!


    When the structure and foundation of a Little World was damaged, the Little World would start to act chaotically.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm ¨C World Destroying Palm!"


    A giant lightning palm made of red-and-golden light pushed forward and destroyed everything in its path.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s palm landed on the bat-winged male''s Little World.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The powerful physical force and the lightning were released through the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm and eroded the structure of the Little World.


    Although this palm wasn''t as strong as when he fought against Sacred Lord Dark Shadow, it was enough to deal with this Quasi-Sacred Lord non-human prodigy.


    Beng~~~~ Crack!


    The bat-winged male felt the majority of his Little World''s foundation break, and the purple Little World around him instantly crumbled!


    At the same time, the remaining power from the palm landed on the bat-winged male.


    Wah¡­


    "My Little World!"


    The bat-winged male spat out a mouthful of blood as he exclaimed.


    One had to know that a Little World was formed by taking a King''s domain and strengthening it bit by bit until it turned into a Little World. A lot of time and effort were necessary.


    The bat-winged male looked at Zhao Feng in fear. Not only was the latter fast, his defense and power were also incredulous.


    "How can there be such a strong prodigy amongst the humans!?"


    The bat-winged male was stunned. He never thought that he and the leopardman prodigy would see something like this.


    "Shadow Bat Escape!" The bat-winged male gave a decisive expression as he started to burn his True Yuan. A dark layer of light covered his body, and his purple wings became bigger as they enveloped his body. At the same time, a weird spatial ripple started to spread.


    Whoosh!


    The bat-winged male''s figure disappeared from Zhao Feng''s Little World with a flash of purple.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng wasn''t able to find any tracks of the bat-winged male within his Little Word.


    "A stealth-type bloodline secret technique?"


    Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same as a faint golden glow appeared in his left eye.


    Weng!


    With one scan, the bat-winged male''s figure appeared before Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye was the nemesis of such secret techniques, especially after it evolved to the gold level. Nothing could be hidden from him!


    Zhao Feng instantly locked onto the bat-winged male.


    "This¡­ how is this possible?" The bat-winged male, who had merged into space and had no aura, suddenly felt a source of mental energy lock onto him.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    A ball of purple-and-gold lightning-fire appeared at a certain spot and exploded.


    "Arghhh¡­!"


    The bat-winged male''s figure appeared. A Destructive lightning-fire burned across his body and soul. At the same time, limitless power of lightning within Zhao Feng''s Little World bombarded the male with bat wings.


    You want to run away? Zhao Feng thought.


    Whoosh! Weng~~


    With a flash, Zhao Feng appeared on the other side of his Little World.


    The leopardman was about to escape Zhao Feng''s Little World but was suddenly blocked.


    The leopardman looked at Zhao Feng. Apart from limitless fear, there was hatred. He knew that, no matter how he begged, it would be useless.


    Wu~~~


    The leopardman started to burn the bloodline within his body, and he suddenly became bigger. His skin turned into golden needles as he turned into a leopard/human-shaped monster, and a fierce and powerful force radiated from him.


    Boom!


    The leopardman unleashed supreme speed and tried to charge out from another side.


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly and made a grabbing motion with his hand.


    A Magnificent Power of Heaven and Earth and the pressure of the Little World descended onto the leopardman.


    Weng~ Weng~ Boom!


    A giant scarlet-colored claw covered in lightning then descended from the sky and grabbed the leopardman.


    Zhao Feng laughed and condensed the power of his left eye. The next instant, a powerful Eye Intent restricted the leopardman''s soul in the air.


    "What, his Soul Intent¡­!"


    The leopardman had lost control over his body and was unable to even think.


    "Soul Search!"


    A wicked Soul undulation passed through Zhao Feng''s left eye as it entered the leopardman''s soul.


    With Zhao Feng''s soul-strength, his mastery over the soul, and his eye-bloodline, performing a soul search was extremely simple. Furthermore, this leopardman''s Soul Intent was slightly weaker than the bat-winged man''s. This was why Zhao Feng used the soul search on him instead.


    Zhao Feng finished the soul search a breath or two later.


    Pa! Weng~~


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent destroyed the leopardman''s soul, and his head was taken into the Misty Spatial World.


    On the other side, the bat-winged male, who had been severely injured by Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning Eye Flame, was being tortured by the Little World. He would rather die than live at this point. After seeing what happened to the leopardman, the bat-winged male chose to self-destruct.


    Zhao Feng didn''t try to stop him. After all, the self-destruction of a Quasi-Sacred Lord prodigy was enough to threaten even Sacred Lords.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng retracted his Little World when the bat-winged male disappeared.


    In just a short while, two non-human prodigies that had overestimated themselves were killed by Zhao Feng.


    "I have enough intel now!" Zhao Feng murmured.


    He had received all the intel within the leopardman''s mind.


    Meng City only had one Sacred Lord, who was roughly on the same level as the dead Sacred Lord Dark Shadow. However, the Fifth Serpent Son of the serpentmen race had brought four powerful Quasi-Sacred Lords and many unrivalled Emperors.


    The overall strength of the Fifth Serpent Son''s forces was far greater than Sacred Lord Dark Shadow. This meant that Meng City''s overall battle-power was even greater than two Sacred Lord Dark Shadows.


    "Dammit, I shouldn''t have put my Little World away!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed. He had been scared that the bat-winged male''s self-destruction would affect his Little World, so he put it away. However, the bat-winged male''s self-destruction attracted the attention of the patrols near Meng City.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll just take care of you all as well!"


    Zhao Feng didn''t leave; he chose to progress forward.


    Three teams of non-humans soon arrived. There were about one hundred in each team, ranging from Small Origin Core Realm cultivators to half-step Kings. The leader was a normal Emperor.


    "There was a strong surge of True Yuan from the front just now!"


    "Could it be that the two geniuses that followed the Fifth Serpent Son are sparring with one another?"


    "The element from the disturbance just now was different from before!"


    The leading elder discussed as he flew over.


    A thunderous boom suddenly sped toward them, and the three teams were instantly on guard. However, before they could notice anything, a male with golden hair and a golden eye appeared before them.


    "How is this possible? A human!?"


    The three teams felt a Magnificent Power locking space nearby. The pressure coming from him made them unable to breathe.


    "Illusion Maze Domain!"


    A purple-and-gold maze world appeared within Zhao Feng''s left eye, and it was extremely alluring.


    Weng!


    All the non-humans near Zhao Feng instinctively looked at Zhao Feng''s eyes and instantly became dazed. Their eyes dimmed as their souls fell into the world of illusions that Zhao Feng created.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved his left hand, and countless wind blades cut off all the non-human heads.


    "Maybe I can kill some more!" Zhao Feng started to think.


    He had completed his mission already, and he killed two non-human prodigies and three patrolling teams. According to what Zhao Feng knew, war points could be obtained from methods other than just killing non-humans. For example, Zhao Feng learning information would also give rewards, but because Zhao Feng didn''t usually come out, that little amount wasn''t enough to satisfy him.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng continued to approach Meng City.


    If one used their Spiritual Sense to detect others, experts with the same cultivation or those that specialized in sensing would be able to sense something. However, when Zhao Feng used his left eye, he could control the situation around Meng City. As long as he didn''t purposely stare at some expert, no one would be able to find him.


    At this moment in time, Zhao Feng was hiding in a forest sixty thousand miles away from Meng City.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng suddenly released a faint aura.


    "Ehh? Come with me and have a look over there." Two non-human patrol leaders felt something, but they weren''t certain, so they led their teams over to confirm the situation.


    "Bait ¨C success!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile as he waited for them to arrive.


    Hu!


    When these two teams got close to the forest, a powerful Intent locked space.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye turned into a purple-and-gold maze world, and everyone''s soul fell silently into another dimension as they lost control over their body and senses.


    Boom!


    One of the leading Emperors suddenly released a surge of Intent before he was trapped in Zhao Feng''s illusion.


    "It seems my plan failed."


    Zhao Feng had a calm expression. The Illusion Maze Domain was obviously a lot weaker when it was used against several hundred people.


    One of the Emperors whose Soul Intent was slightly stronger managed to send a signal out before falling into Zhao Feng''s illusion.


    "But this is good too. I don''t need to lure them out one by one!"


    Zhao Feng cut off the heads of the two non-human leaders and waved his hand. True Yuan of Wind Lightning surged and turned the bodies of all the other non-humans into ashes.


    "There''s something going on; come with me!" A peak Emperor near Meng City looked into the distance and roared.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All the patrolling teams around Meng City started to gather together.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Several thousand patrols headed toward Zhao Feng''s direction under the command of the non-human peak Emperor.


    At the same time, within Meng City, five one-star captains and three two-star captains led a total of five thousand elites and charged out.


    Within a dim hall in Meng City:


    "What''s going on?" A non-human male with green scales and horns and who wore noble clothes asked.


    At the very center of the great hall stood a big non-human elder. This was Sacred Lord Anyou, who guarded Meng City. He released his Spiritual Sense but didn''t sense anything.


    "Go have a look!" Sacred Lord Anyou ordered.


    "Understood!"


    "Hehehe, I hope that we will be able to fight!"


    Two females with powerful auras revealed bloodthirsty smiles. One of them was from the eaglemen race, and a pair of black wings extended from her back as she shot into the sky. The other was a sexy woman from the snakemen race, and she turned into a streak of azure light that chased after the black light.


    These two were peerless prodigies that were accompanying the Fifth Serpent Son.

 1027 The Entire City Taking Action

    Chapter 1027 - The Entire City Taking Action


    "There''s a trace of a Soul aura here!"


    The first to arrive at Zhao Feng''s hiding spot were the patrols outside Meng City.


    A large number of soldiers gathered around the forest. The leaders of these groups were normal Emperors at most, so it was impossible for them to find Zhao Feng when they scanned around with their Divine Senses.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng leapt out from the forest, and scarlet lightning flashed around his body. He became bigger; he was like a metallic mountain of lightning as he released a surge of lightning in every direction.


    Weng~~ Boom! Boom!


    Most of the several thousand soldiers were only at the Origin Core Realm. It was impossible for them to block Zhao Feng''s lightning. A wave of non-human soldiers instantly fell to the ground, and the other non-humans felt like they were stuck in mud. It was hard for them to even breathe.


    However, Zhao Feng didn''t purposely attack these shrimps. His target was the leaders of these patrol teams.


    "Not good, an unrivalled Emperor! No, wait, a Quasi-Sacred Lord¡­!"


    The expression of the leading non-human peak Emperor turned to shock. Normal Emperors wouldn''t be able to suppress almost a thousand Origin Core Realm and Void God Realm Kings.


    All the non-humans started to use their own techniques to resist against Zhao Feng''s Intent and pressure.


    "Quickly retreat! Everyone, that''s not an Emperor! Get away!"


    "A Quasi-Sacred Lord is approaching Meng City!"


    Everyone fought back against Zhao Feng''s pressure and started to retreat. The non-human Origin Core Realms that had been killed and the Kings that fainted were left behind. At this moment in time, no one was sure if they could even save their own life, so they had no time to care about others.


    Miao miao!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat jumped out from the Misty Spatial World and collected all the interspatial storage items from the non-human corpses.


    "KIll!" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold.


    There were still five thousand elites and eight captains. Two Quasi-Sacred Lord geniuses were also on their way, so he needed to use his time wisely.


    Hu~~ Weng!


    After using the Lightning Wings Flying Technique, Zhao Feng was unable to be seen when passing through Heaven and Earth. None of the non-humans present were able to even catch sight of Zhao Feng.


    Bam!


    The body of a normal Emperor shattered into pieces. Their head and interspatial storage items were taken away by Zhao Feng.


    On the other side, a blade of Wind Lightning chopped the head of a Peak-tier King off. The weaker non-humans that approached Zhao Feng were crushed to death by Zhao Feng''s physical pressure without him even needing to attack.


    The little thieving cat roamed around and collected the spoils of war that Zhao Feng missed out on.


    Boom! Boom...


    A roar sounded when Zhao Feng killed the sixth captain.


    "Human bastard, you really are courageous! You actually dared to come here alone!?"


    A two-star captain was the first to arrive. The Origin Core Realms and Kings in the team behind him had left a long time ago. The weakest of those that stayed behind were at least Peak-tier Kings.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly. He didn''t put a mere two-star captain in his eyes.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng''s figure disappeared once more. The next instant, he appeared among the patrol group in front of a peak Emperor. This non-human Emperor''s face became filled with fear, and he instantly used his Little World and any defensive method he could.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng''s palm immediately shattered his Little World and destroyed it. The body of this non-human Emperor also split into many pieces.


    "No¡­ the battle-power of a Sacred Lord!" The two-star captain that was about to charge forward immediately stopped moving.


    Even Quasi-Sacred Lords wouldn''t be able to kill a peak Emperor and destroy their Little Worlds so easily.


    At this moment, the other seven captains arrived, as well as several thousand non-humans that were at least a Peak-tier King.


    "Stop him!" a two-star captain immediately roared.


    Boom!


    Eight captains and several thousand non-humans started to attack. Only those that were at least at the level of a Peak-tier King might be able to survive against this human.


    The non-humans that had retreated would send a report to the upper echelon of Meng City, and they believed that Sacred Lord Anyou would come soon.


    "Form the array!" The eight captains changed positions and thrust out several unique palms. A blue defensive array then formed.


    All the non-humans hid behind the array and unleashed attacks toward Zhao Feng.


    "Come!" Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same.


    Hu!


    A pair of scarlet lightning wings behind Zhao Feng''s back spread, and a strong surge of Fire of Wind Lightning appeared.


    Boom! Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng turned into a streak of scarlet lightning and shot toward the non-human army.


    If he hadn''t cultivated a body-strengthening technique like the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng would never have taken a risk like this. However, now that Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body had reached the 6th level, all physical attacks from anyone below the Mystic Light Realm were useless against him!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A tsunami of water, fire, lightning, wind, and different types of battle skills smashed toward Zhao Feng. However, before these attacks managed to land on Zhao Feng, a surge of physical force pushed it all aside. Only a small number of attacks actually landed on Zhao Feng, but no mark or injury was left behind.


    "Not good, this person has cultivated a very profound body-strengthening technique. Our attacks can''t damage him at all!" A two-star captain exclaimed.


    "Break!" Zhao Feng charged toward the blue defensive array and punched out with his Fire of Wind Lightning.


    Bam! Crack!


    The defensive arrays of the eight peak Emperors immediately shattered, and a wave of power swept toward the non-human army.


    The experts behind the array all vomited out blood. Shock appeared on the faces of the non-humans.


    "Human, your opponent is me!"


    A black streak of light appeared in the sky. It was the prodigy from the eaglemen race.


    The image of a large black eagle claw appeared, and it radiated a piercing aura like it was a peerless sword.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng didn''t retreat. He charged forward with his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Bam!


    The black light was instantly pushed back while Zhao Feng didn''t move at all, as if he was Mt. Tai.


    "This human''s battle power is so strong!" The female from the eaglemen race revealed a surprised and fearful look. Her legs were still sore.


    Eaglemen specialized in releasing supreme battle-power and killing enemies in one shot. However, she wasn''t able to injure the human at all even with her explosive force. She had never been at such a disadvantage against someone with the same cultivation!


    "Let''s attack together!"


    At this moment, a charming voice sounded as the female from the snakemen race appeared in the sky.


    The female snakeman looked at Zhao Feng with a solemn expression. In the exchange a moment ago, she could tell how terrifying Zhao Feng was.


    "Hehehe, are the non-humans trying to bully me with numbers?"


    Shu~~~


    Light flashed behind Zhao Feng''s back, and he pushed his speed to another level.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with the two non-human Quasi-Sacred Lords. He charged directly toward the captains that were trying to run away.


    Bam!


    A one-star captain was killed by Zhao Feng.


    "Human bastard, your opponent is us!" The two Quasi-Sacred Lord geniuses roared in anger.


    They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to not care about them and go slaughter the captains instead. Being prodigies of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty, they couldn''t accept Zhao Feng''s actions.


    Whoosh!


    They immediately took action and chased Zhao Feng.


    "Dammit, what is this human trying to do?"


    The female eagleman had an angry expression, but there was nothing she could do. Although she and her partner both specialized in speed, they couldn''t catch up to Zhao Feng at all. They could only watch him kill the remaining non-humans.


    "There''s such a prodigy amongst the humans!?"


    The female snakeman felt helpless. She had been extremely confident before coming to the battlefield and wanted to put on a show, but the first opponent she met already made her extremely frustrated.


    Boom!


    A surge of Intent appeared within Meng City, and a figure in black charged over.


    Almost thirty captains and several dozen thousand troops moved out. At this moment in time, the clouds moved while Heaven and Earth shook. A terrifying and fierce aura swept across Heaven and Earth from afar.


    "Sacred Lord Anyou and all the captains are coming!"


    The female snakeman was stunned. A human had just nonchalantly come to a non-human city and killed a few people, and that made several dozen thousand experts, Emperors, Quasi-Sacred Lords, and even the city-guarding Sacred Lord come out!? Had this human gone crazy?


    "Hehe, we''ll end here for today!"


    Zhao Feng snapped the neck of a non-human Emperor, taking away their head and interspatial storage item.


    He had played enough for today. Zhao Feng came alone and killed two Quasi-Sacred Lord prodigies, as well as several captains and countless soldiers that he was too lazy to even count. Now that Meng City''s entire force was taking action, Zhao Feng obviously couldn''t stay.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat instantly entered the Misty Spatial World.


    Hu!


    Zhao Feng waved his left arm, and his figure disappeared with a flash of silver.


    The next instant, Sacred Lord Anyou and the Serpent Son arrived.


    "That was¡­ an item that can pass through space!" Sacred Lord Anyou had a deep gaze.


    "No wonder that person was so courageous that he dared to come alone. He has a treasure like that!" the Fifth Serpent Son said.


    "Reporting to the general; six captains, thirteen Emperors, and thirty-four Peak-tier Kings¡­ have been killed!"


    ¡­


    Weng~ Shua!


    A layer of silver appeared in the air, and Zhao Feng''s figure appeared outside Moon Dragon City.


    "Captain Zhao Feng is back!" a patrolling guard said respectfully.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with him and immediately flew toward the Ninth Prince''s hall.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re back?" the Ninth Prince immediately asked. He wasn''t worried that Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to return, he was just curious as to why Zhao Feng came back so fast. Did the non-humans find him already? However, it wasn''t Zhao Feng''s fault. After all, Zhao Feng wasn''t a professional scout.


    "I''ve discovered the overall strength of Meng City. There''s only one person with the battle-power of a Sacred Lord in Meng City, but he''s relatively strong. As for the Quasi-Sacred Lords¡­"


    Zhao Feng talked about the overall strength of Meng City.


    The Ninth Prince had a stunned expression. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng''s report to be so detailed. It was as if he only went to play around in Meng City.


    "If that''s the case, we need to gather all the captains and decide what to do," Old Ying immediately said. Meng City''s overall strength was far stronger than Moon Dragon City. Furthermore, Zhao Feng had already revealed his strength and could no longer catch the non-humans off guard.


    "No, gather all our troops and attack!" Zhao Feng said with a deep gaze.


    "Why?" The Ninth Prince and Old Ying both looked at Zhao Feng. Their chance of winning wasn''t high. It was useless if they attacked in a rush.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, and several dozen non-human heads floated in the air.


    "These heads all come from Emperors. Amongst them are two Quasi-Sacred Lords!" Zhao Feng said.


    Because he had acted alone and there were no witnesses, Zhao Feng had to take their heads. Adding on the fact that he had his memory replays, they could be considered proof of his deeds.


    "This¡­" The Ninth Prince instantly became speechless.


    Who had ever heard of a scout killing such a huge number of strong enemies? They were usually careful and didn''t even dare to go too close. They usually just waited for the right moment to slowly gather information, but Zhao Feng had obtained perfect information and even killed a large number of enemies, including two Quasi-Sacred Lords, within two days!


    The Ninth Prince couldn''t even imagine what Zhao Feng had done!


    "Your Highness, let''s attack!" Old Ying''s eyes flashed as he immediately spoke.

 1028 Eyes of Myriad Forms

    Chapter 1028 - Eye of Myriad Forms


    "Your Highness, let''s attack!" Old Ying''s eyes flashed as he immediately spoke.


    Zhao Feng had slain many high echelon members in Meng City before leaving. This would dramatically reduce the morale of those from Meng City. On top of that, Meng City was heavily injured right now.


    If they didn''t attack now, the non-humans would be able to gather their forces. It would be hard to find an opportunity like this again in the future.


    Old Ying immediately told the Ninth Prince what he was thinking.


    "Good!"


    The Ninth Prince soon understood. This was indeed the best chance to attack.


    "Everyone, attack Meng City!" the Ninth Prince roared, and the guards patrolling outside the hall immediately passed the order across the city.


    In just a short while, all the forces were gathered outside Moon Dragon City.


    "Let''s go!"


    The Ninth Prince pointed his ancient green sword of lightning.


    Boom!


    Several dozen thousand troops instantly marched forward. Apart from a few True Spirit Realm and Origin Core Realm experts left behind to guard Moon Dragon City, everyone else pushed forward.


    The Ninth Prince obtained the trust of the soldiers after the last battle. Adding on Zhao Feng''s display of strength, and these soldiers were confident with no worries.


    "Ninth Prince, are we being too rash?" a three-star captain asked.


    Although they had Zhao Feng and Tie Hongling, who both had strong battle-power and weren''t scared of normal Sacred Lords, they didn''t know the situation within Meng City. If they attacked right now, it would be going against logic.


    "Zhao Feng already came back with all the intel within Meng City," the Ninth Prince said without explaining too much.


    The three-star captain faltered for a moment before looking at Zhao Feng not far away. He had heard rumors of Zhao Feng becoming a scout, but from the Ninth Prince''s tone, Zhao Feng had given a very detailed report indeed.


    He originally thought that Zhao Feng was only strong in a fight. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to excel in gathering intel as well.


    He started to relax after hearing what the Ninth Prince said.


    "If we manage to take over another city¡­"


    The three-star captain was looking forward to it. If one took over a city, all the troops under the general would obtain war points in correlation with their cultivation. For example, Sacred Lords would obtain twenty thousand war points while Quasi-Sacred Lords would obtain six thousand.


    Likewise, if they lost a city, war points would be deducted.


    Therefore, if a normal soldier was lucky and fought alongside a smart general, even if they didn''t kill any enemies and did nothing, just the war points from taking over the city would be enough to obtain a large amount of resources.


    Tie Hongling asked a question next to Zhao Feng, "Zhao Feng, what''s the situation like in Meng City?"


    "Their overall strength is about the same as Moon Dragon City," Zhao Feng replied with a simple example.


    "How is that possible?"


    Tie Hongling didn''t believe it. They had already taken over Moon Dragon City, so how could the non-humans not react and reinforce Meng City?


    However, when everyone arrived, they realized that the city had become empty. There was no one here at all!


    "Where are the non-humans!?"


    "What''s going on? There are no non-humans here!"


    "Could there be a trap?"


    The captains and soldiers exclaimed. This situation had never happened since the start of the war. None of the captains and soldiers knew why.


    Tie Hongling''s mouth dropped open as she glanced at Zhao Feng; "What''s going on?"


    She believed that, when Zhao Feng came to gather intel, the situation wasn''t like this, otherwise Zhao Feng wouldn''t have said that the forces of Meng City were around Moon Dragon City''s level.


    However, why did all the non-humans retreat after Zhao Feng came to gather intel?


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment as well. He didn''t expect something like this to happen. He originally thought that Meng City would choose to defend and wait for reinforcements.


    "Looks like we acted too quickly, so all the non-humans left!" Old Ying said.


    However, that wasn''t exactly a good thing. If they fought with the forces of Meng City, then the non-humans would have at least 60% casualties. However, now that all the non-humans within Meng City had retreated, they would have no losses.


    From the looks of it, the general of the non-humans was someone intelligent.


    Some captains realized this as well. If they took over Meng City, then they would need to face even stronger forces later. At that point, they might not be able to hold onto Meng City even if they took it now.


    "Take it over!" the Ninth Prince announced.


    He had nowhere to retreat. Besides, the war points from taking over a city were right in front of them. All they had to do was capture an empty city.


    In terms of war points, Zhao Feng received the largest portion.


    After taking over Meng City, the Ninth Prince''s forces soon spread throughout the city and took control of everything.


    All the soldiers were full of excitement and joy. This time, the Ninth Prince brought all his forces and took over a city for free. It was the same as doing nothing at all and still obtaining war points.


    Within the hall where the Ninth Prince was staying.


    "Zhao Feng, your war points this time will be huge!" the Ninth Prince said.


    Firstly, he had given a very detailed report, so he would be given a high-tier reward for that. Secondly, Zhao Feng had killed two Quasi-Sacred Lord prodigies, several dozen Emperors, and many Peak-tier Kings. He would be able to receive a plentiful amount of war points from that too.


    Furthermore, because of Zhao Feng''s actions, the non-humans within Meng City had retreated. That meant that Zhao Feng had basically conquered Meng City by himself.


    "I can only report this to the main hall of Lan Province and let them decide the amount of war points you get."


    The Ninth Prince didn''t dare to rashly estimate Zhao Feng''s performance.


    "But the non-humans that have retreated from Meng City might return at any time, so I will report this a while later," the Ninth Prince continued.


    "Old Ying, tell the array masters to set up a defensive array quickly!" the Ninth Prince ordered.


    Only they and a few captains knew that the non-humans might attack in a short while.


    "Brother Zhao, we might need to use your beast horde in a bit!" the Ninth Prince said in a solemn tone.


    That was also one of the reasons why the Ninth Prince dared to take over Meng City and fight against the non-human forces, who were stronger. Zhao Feng''s beast horde was very strong, and he had many Emperor-level beasts and stronger. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly could even affect Quasi-Sacred Lords and Sacred Lords.


    However, what the Ninth Prince didn''t know was that Zhao Feng''s Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had fallen into deep sleep.


    ¡­


    Three hundred thousand miles away from Meng City, in a mountain valley:


    "Sacred Lord Anyou, we''re going to give Meng City to those shameless humans just like that?" The female eagleman with black wings asked angrily.


    "If we were giving it to them, why would we be waiting here?"


    The Fifth Serpent Son had a cold expression. This was his first time joining the war and he immediately had to meet a situation like this. The Fifth Serpent Son was extremely angry, and he vowed to take back Meng City.


    "Reinforcements will be arriving shortly. Meng City will be ours again. We need to kill that human who has a spatial treasure first."


    Sacred Lord Anyou looked into the distance with a calm expression. He had requested for reinforcements right after Zhao Feng used his spatial item to escape.


    However, the humans had taken action too quickly, so Sacred Lord Anyou decided to retreat for now so they could slaughter the humans with full power.


    "Who will be coming to reinforce us?" The female genius from the snakemen race couldn''t help but be curious.


    Although Meng City had lost two Quasi-Sacred Lords and many Emperors, they hadn''t lost many foot soldiers. Adding on the fact that the journey would be long, only someone with strong battle-power would arrive.


    ¡­


    "There might be a very big battle coming up!" Zhao Feng murmured in the Misty Spatial World.


    Since Sacred Lord Anyou retreated, that meant he wouldn''t attack unless he received strong reinforcements. At the very least, there would be a couple Quasi-Sacred Lords or a Sacred Lord.


    "I''ll try to form my Little World of Illusions before the battle starts," Zhao Feng said as he entered the Ancient Dream Realm. He sat down and released his Little World of Illusions.


    Weng~~ Shua!


    Everything within several hundred yards became covered in a dark purple mist. Within it was a limitless maze. The maze contained structures of different types, such as palaces, hotels, Heaven Legacy Cities, mermaid palaces, and more. Zhao Feng had seen most of these structures in the past.


    The formation of the Little World of Illusions was different from the Little World of Wind Lightning. Zhao Feng used the storms in the Ancient Dream Realm to help form his Little World of Wind Lightning, but he had nothing like that for his Little World of Illusions, so he could only absorb the pure ancient aura.


    Zhao Feng circulated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and split his mind into several thousand thoughts, which filled the Little World of Illusions and perfected it.


    Several dozen days passed, and a scout walked into the Ninth Prince''s hall.


    "Report! The non-humans have come to attack!"


    The expressions of the Ninth Prince, Old Ying, and some captains changed dramatically.


    "I didn''t expect them to come so quickly." Old Ying had a grim expression.


    "Everyone, come out!" the Ninth Prince announced, then spoke to the scout, "Go tell Captain Zhao Feng!"


    ¡­


    A hundred thousand miles away from Meng City, the non-human army was like an enraged beast horde. An air of hatred swept over.


    There were three figures at the head of the army. One of them was the Fifth Serpent Son, and another was Sacred Lord Anyou. In the middle was a large non-human who released a terrifying aura. Wind and rain howled. Ice, snow, and lightning appeared wherever he went.


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, I didn''t expect you to come in person!" Sacred Lord Anyou had a respectful expression.


    "Hmph, all of you are useless!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had a cold expression as he spoke.


    Sacred Lord Anyou and the Fifth Serpent Son''s expression became ugly, but they didn''t say anything back.


    "It was just an accident. We didn''t expect that human to be able to escape through space. Furthermore, that human prodigy seems to have a unique eye-bloodline," Sacred Lord Anyou said with a smile.


    "All eye-bloodlines come from the Eight Great God Eyes, but what does his eye-bloodline have compared to mine?"


    Light started to spin in Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes. A layer of rainbow-colored Mystic Light Sacred Power surrounded him.


    The pressure and power of the laws radiating from him made Sacred Lord Anyou''s heart shake.


    Is this the power of the Eye of Myriad Forms?

 1029 Myriad Forms

    Chapter 1028 - Myriad Forms


    The instant this rainbow-colored Mystic Light Sacred power appeared, all the Yuan Qi in Heaven and Earth was attracted. None remained.


    "Although Sacred Lord Myriad Forms is only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm, even early-stage Sacred Lords can''t deal with him!" the female from the eaglemen race messaged in private.


    "I can feel his aura. It doesn''t seem like an initial-stage Sacred Lord." The female from the snakemen race had a deep gaze.


    "This time, we''ll let the humans know how strong the Yao races are. That human prodigy must die!"


    The female from the eaglemen race had a sharp gaze. The human prodigy she was talking about was obviously Zhao Feng.


    "We''re here!" Sacred Lord Anyou revealed a wicked smile as he looked forward.


    The non-humans instantly stopped their footsteps.


    At this moment, the forces of the Ninth Prince had already gathered.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms raised his head and looked into the distance with rainbow-colored eyes.


    Hu! Hu!


    At this instant, the clouds and the wind howled in the air above Meng City, and lightning started to brew. The power of nature suppressed all the humans within Meng City.


    "Who is he!?" A three-star captain above Meng City looked at Sacred Lord Myriad Forms with a deep glance.


    "He can affect nature with just one glance. Could he be the non-human owner of the Eye of Myriad Forms?" The heart of another captain jumped.


    The non-humans led by the Eye of Myriad Forms owner were the strongest non-human force in Lan Province. Lan Province and the imperials had sent out two powerful Sacred Lords, many array masters, and many beast tamers in order to defend against him.


    They never expected the owner of the Eye of Myriad Forms to appear here.


    "Eye of Myriad Forms!" Old Ying''s expression became extremely ugly.


    "I didn''t think Sacred Lord Myriad Forms would be the one to reinforce them!" The Ninth Prince paused for a moment and felt slightly regretful.


    Even the Sacred Lords that had lived for several dozen millennia weren''t a match for Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. They had heard that even early-stage Sacred Lords were defeated by Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    A mountain of pressure covered everyone. Even Tie Hongling had a grim expression and didn''t say anything.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was sitting in the center of a limitless purple palace in the Ancient Dream Realm. Dark clouds and purple mist surrounded him, and lightning and wind brewed in the sky.


    "If the Little World of Illusions successfully forms, its power might be on par with the Little World of Wind Lightning!" Zhao Feng said in a soft tone.


    Although the Little World of Wind Lightning was formed with the power of the storms within the Ancient Dream Realm, there was a difference in foundation. The foundation of the Little World of Wind Lightning was Zhao Feng''s Crystal Core, while the foundation of the Little World of Illusions was a God Crystal and an unknown high-class black stone. The difference between the two was very obvious.


    "I''m just a little bit away from forming it!"


    Zhao Feng felt slightly regretful because he could sense what was happening in the outside world. The non-humans were probably attacking already.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s figure appeared within the Misty Spatial World.


    "Hm? Two Sky Shaking Golden Apes have reached the Quasi-Sacred Lord rank!"


    Zhao Feng sensed something, and his expression turned to joy. Although he didn''t quite know what was going on outside, he had a bad feeling. He felt that these Quasi-Sacred Lord Sky Shaking Golden Apes would be useful.


    Hu!


    Zhao Feng left the Misty Spatial World and appeared in the outside world.


    "Captain Zhao Feng!" The expression of the scout outside Zhao Feng''s room turned to fright and he was about to say something.


    Shu~~ Zzzz!


    A surge of Wind Lightning True Yuan appeared as Zhao Feng flew toward the city wall.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve come!" The Ninth Prince''s expression finally softened.


    Even though the non-humans had sent Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, he still had a tinge of hope, which came from Zhao Feng.


    All the captains, including Old Ying, Tie Hongling, and Emperor Ghost Scales instantly looked at Zhao Feng.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng was the strongest person present. If even he wasn''t able to stop the Eye of Myriad Forms, then they had no hope. Furthermore, apart from the owner of the Eye of Myriad Forms, there was still Sacred Lord Anyou and the Fifth Serpent Son, who weren''t to be underestimated either. There were also two non-human prodigies as well.


    This was going to be a hard battle, but the Ninth Prince had already requested for reinforcements. As long as they could protect the city, there was hope.


    "He''s¡­" Zhao Feng''s faint golden left eye closely inspected Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, and he instantly understood when he saw the pair of rainbow-colored eyes.


    A descendant of the God Eyes!


    "Zhao Feng, he''s Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, the owner of the Eyes of Myriad Forms. Although he''s only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm, his battle-power isn''t weaker than those at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm!" Old Ying messaged Zhao Feng.


    "Initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm?" Zhao Feng shook his head. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms wasn''t as simple as he seemed.


    However, there was one point he didn''t expect, and that was the opponent to be a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    Zhao Feng had only fought against the Eyes of Death before. He had also barely interacted with the Eyes of Destiny and Eyes of Samsara.


    The Eyes of Myriad Forms have complete control over the laws of nature!


    Some information regarding the Eyes of Myriad Forms surfaced in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    On the non-human side, Sacred Lord Anyou''s eyes faintly moved as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, that''s the human with the secret treasure that can move through space. He has a unique eye-bloodline as well!" Sacred Lord Anyou said with ill intentions.


    "Oh? So that person is the one that came to the city you were guarding, killed a bunch of people, then left unharmed?"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes instantly locked onto Zhao Feng.


    The expressions of Sacred Lord Anyou and the Fifth Serpent Son became grim, but they didn''t say anything because that was reality.


    Hu!


    Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms looked at one another, and Zhao Feng instantly felt a strong invisible pressure of Heaven and Earth crush over. It was as if the entire world was acting against him.


    Peng! Peng!


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes faintly jumped.


    "Hmm? This human''s eye-bloodline is extremely unusual!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was surprised. This was the second time another eye-bloodline could cause his Eyes of Myriad Forms to jump.


    However, no matter how unusual it was, it didn''t belong to the Eight Great God Eyes, so it was an incomplete eye-bloodline. It couldn''t be compared with his Eyes of Myriad Forms.


    "Human, how dare you take over Meng City!?" Sacred Lord Anyou had an arrogant expression and a smile of mockery.


    "This was originally the territory of the Zhou Imperials in the first place!" The Ninth Prince''s momentum was slightly weaker, but he still spoke.


    "Humans will disappear from the face of the Earth soon. Where will the Zhou Imperials come from then?" the Fifth Serpent Son mocked.


    "Hmph! Ignorant humans, I''ll let you witness the terrifying pressure of nature!"


    A faint disturbance of energy flashed through Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes.


    Hu! Hu!


    Snow flew across the world, and countless surges of ice appeared on the surface of the ground. In just a couple breaths'' time, several dozen thousand miles around Meng City had turned into a world of ice, and the temperature was still dropping. The sky became dark, and no one could see clearly.


    On the other hand, the non-humans seemed to be ready. Each soldier had some ice-defending secret treasure on them.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes faintly moved. The change in environment hadn''t affected him, but it was really effective against normal Kings and below. The low-to-middle echelons of the Ninth Prince''s forces were at a very big disadvantage. Some Small Origin Core Realm experts found it hard to block the snow and ice at all.


    All the captains started to circulate their Intent in order to deal with this world of snow and ice.


    "Not good, our Intent can''t pass through the air!" The heart of a two-star captain shook.


    Normal Emperors could change the temperature, but after the Eyes of Myriad Forms owner changed the environment, their Intent couldn''t alter it.


    This meant that the laws and powers they controlled would be drastically weakened, and Little Worlds that weren''t ice-oriented couldn''t even appear in the real world!


    "The myriad existences of Heaven and Earth belong to the owner of the Eyes of Myriad Forms!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' cold voice sounded as he flew over.


    Heaven and Earth seemed to be his world. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' figure flashed through the world of snow and ice and approached Meng City.


    The non-human army instantly passed through the world of snow and ice and headed toward Meng City as well.


    "Activate the defensive array! Defend!" the Ninth Prince roared.


    "We can''t let Sacred Lord Myriad Forms get close to the city."


    Zhao Feng leapt out. If Sacred Lord Myriad Forms got close to the city even for an instant, the defensive array around Meng City would be destroyed.


    At the same time, Old Ying, Tie Hongling, and the other captains charged out as well.


    "I''ll deal with Sacred Lord Myriad Forms!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    No one else here was a match for Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, and Zhao Feng was also extremely interested in the descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng waved his left hand, and a beast horde appeared. This was the beast horde that Zhao Feng used in the Crown Prince trial. Since that period of time, their overall strength had increased, and many beasts were now Emperors.


    Now that the Ninth Prince''s troops were affected by the world of ice and heavily weakened, they wouldn''t even be able to last the time it took to make a cup of tea without his beast horde.


    "A beast horde!" The captains and soldiers felt a little bit better after seeing Zhao Feng release the beast horde.


    "Oh yeah, and you two!"


    The Misty Spatial World on Zhao Feng''s arm flashed.


    Boom! Boom!


    Two golden figures that were like giant metal mountains descended to the ground. The golden fur of these two Sky Shaking Golden Apes stood on end like needles, and an ancient desolate aura spread.


    The captains and Emperors from Meng City felt the bloodlines within their body tremble when this terrifying pressure descended.


    "Those Sky Shaking Golden Apes have reached the level of Quasi-Sacred Lords!"


    The Ninth Prince''s expression turned to joy.


    Zhao Feng had given the Sky Shaking Golden Apes a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Adding on the fact that they already contained the genes of the Ancient Race, their battle-power would be extremely strong.


    These two Sky Shaking Golden Apes could definitely stall the two Quasi-Sacred Lord female prodigies from the non-humans, or they could work with Tie Hongling and stall Sacred Lord Anyou.


    "Hmph, do you really think you can block the power of nature!?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms roared as a surge of rainbow-colored Mystic Light Sacred Power shot out.


    The instant this rainbow-colored Mystic Light Sacred power appeared, Heaven and Earth started to shake. Snow and ice flipped through Heaven and Earth like a tsunami and engulfed everything.


    All the experts from Meng City had to face limitless Intent of snow and ice. Those with lower cultivation felt their blood and True Yuan almost freeze. Even Void God Realm Emperors felt infinitely small against this terrifying power of nature.


    "This is the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm!" Many human captains exclaimed.

 1030 Power of Myriad Forms

    Chapter 1030 - Power of Myriad Forms


    "This is the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm!" Many human captains exclaimed.


    "He''s actually at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm!?" Old Ying exclaimed in shock.


    The captains acted like their hearts had been hammered, and their bodies started to tremble.


    "Zhao Feng!" Tie Hongling looked at Zhao Feng.


    Just now, Zhao Feng said that he would deal with Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, but could Zhao Feng really deal with a descendant of the Eight Great God Eyes who was also at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm?


    However, Tie Hongling realized that Zhao Feng wasn''t surprised at all, as if he already knew Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' true strength long ago.


    As I thought! Zhao Feng thought in his heart.


    The moment he saw Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, Zhao Feng could feel the latter''s immense Mystic Light Sacred power and Soul Intent. They had both exceeded the limits of the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    Therefore, apart from Zhao Feng, no one else even had the possibility of fighting against Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    The Eyes of Myriad Forms was a power that affected the physical dimension. Zhao Feng only dared to fight against Sacred Lord Myriad Forms because his Sacred Lightning Body had broken through to the 6th level, so he could fight back.


    Sacred Lord Anyou, the Fifth Serpent Son, and the other captains and Emperors of the non-humans were all stunned as well. It was obvious that even they didn''t know that Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had broken through to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, when did you break through?" Sacred Lord Anyou was filled with excitement.


    When Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm, he was already unparalleled and able to fight against those at the early stages. Now that Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had broken through to the early stages, how strong would his battle-power be?


    "As expected of a descendant of the God Eyes!" The female prodigy from the eaglemen race revealed a respectful look.


    "Look, that human prodigy still dares to charge at Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. He really doesn''t care about his life, does he?" The female from the serpentmen race mocked as she looked at Zhao Feng in disdain.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng instantly circulated his Sacred Lightning Body the moment he flew out. Complex and ancient scarlet-golden symbols of lightning sparkled around him, and his body grew taller as limitless lightning pushed aside the snow and ice nearby.


    "You want to stop me?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms looked down at Zhao Feng.


    The invisible power of nature surrounded Zhao Feng, and ice appeared on Zhao Feng''s body. Everything around him was starting to freeze.


    "I want to defeat you!" Battle-intent burned in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Crack!


    The ice around Zhao Feng shattered as a wave of physical force spread.


    "Hahaha, ignorant human!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms roared with laughter.


    Infinite snow started to gather and form a wall of ice when Zhao Feng''s lightning arrived before Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    Boom! Weng~~~


    The instant the ice wall appeared, Zhao Feng''s figure charged forward and unleashed his Sacred Lightning Body and Fire of Wind Lightning.


    Boom! Bam!


    The wall before Sacred Lord Myriad Forms shattered, but a wave of Wind Lightning appeared on Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' body like an armor that blocked all the remaining power from Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "You can''t even injure me at all, but I can kill you right now!" A layer of ice covered Sacred Lord Myriad Forms as he gazed at Zhao Feng.


    "Spear of Extreme Ice!"


    Whoosh!


    A rainbow-colored whirlpool appeared before Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, which instantly absorbed the snow''s power and radiated a coldness that could freeze anything in its path.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Countless ice spears shot out from the whirlpool. The snow and air wherever the ice spears passed instantly froze, but the spears could pass through the ice without being affected at all.


    "What a strong power of Ice!"


    At this instant, the True Yuan and bloodline within Zhao Feng''s body started to circulate extremely slowly. Even his actions were affected.


    "Water of Wind Lightning. Ice Imperial Spear!"


    Zhao Feng suddenly circulated the hidden Ice-and-Water bloodline within his body as well as the Water of Wind Lightning within his Crystal Core dimension.


    A layer of ice-blue liquid covered Zhao Feng''s body and formed a piece of armor. This armor of ice and water rippled and could change into different shapes. When used with the Sacred Lightning Body, his resistance against the power of coldness instantly increased.


    "This brat has an Ice-and-Water bloodline as well!?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyebrows furrowed.


    When fighting against Zhao Feng, he realized that the latter specialized in the laws of Wind, Lightning, and Fire. This meant that Zhao Feng was resilient against these three elements, which was why Sacred Lord Myriad Forms chose to use the power of Ice. However, Zhao Feng had an Ice-and-Water bloodline as well as True Yuan with the Intent of Water?


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!"


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body so that his resistance to the cold increased to its limit. He also used his Sacred Lightning Body and punched out against the countless spears of ice.


    Peng! Boom!


    A surge of coldness exploded.


    "This is¡­?"


    Zhao Feng quickly retreated. Although he had destroyed the Spears of Extreme Ice, the power of coldness released from them still had terrifying pressure. The ice-blue armor on Zhao Feng''s body instantly froze, and a surge of coldness started to erode his Sacred Lightning Body.


    "From Ice to Water!"


    Zhao Feng circulated the Water of Wind Lightning as well as the Ice-and-Water bloodline. The frozen ice-blue armor started to slowly absorb the coldness and turn into an armor made from water.


    "Human Quasi-Sacred Lord, you''re not bad ¨C you can actually take one move of mine. You can now die in peace!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes revealed a fierce look. No human prodigy at the Quasi-Sacred Lord rank could block this move of his. Zhao Feng''s strength made Sacred Lord Myriad Forms want to kill him even more.


    "You talk too much nonsense!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes became dark as a strong surge of Eye Intent appeared from his left eye. A large amount of soul power surged from his Lightning Soul Body into his left eye.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Fire appeared in Zhao Feng''s left eye. It glowed with a faint purple light as dark symbols of God Tribulation Lightning flashed.


    Whoosh~~~ Boom!


    A transparent dark lightning-fire with the Destructive aura of God Tribulation Lightning exploded above Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' head.


    Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning Eye Flame this time was comprised of a full soul attack with the power of God Tribulation Lightning. This was because he knew that physical attacks were unlikely to damage Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Arghh!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms screamed. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to use a Soul eye-bloodline technique. Furthermore, the power of God Tribulation Lightning within it damaged his soul to a certain degree.


    "This brat¡­!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' face became gruesome. He had been overconfident and injured by Zhao Feng. This was something that he could not stand.


    It''s not very effective.


    Zhao Feng''s heart dropped. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm. With his God Eye and natural talent, his Soul Intent was obviously not weak. If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng''s soul attack contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms wouldn''t have been injured at all.


    "Not good!"


    Zhao Feng sensed a dangerous aura.


    Whoosh! Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng instantly flew into the distance using his Lightning Wings Flying Technique.


    "Human bastard, where do you think you''re going?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms roared as the power of nature started to move.


    "So strong! He can control nature with just a thought!"


    Zhao Feng''s speed was reduced due to the power of nature, and he could only travel at 70% of his usual speed.


    Behind him, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms used the power of nature to help him charge toward Zhao Feng.


    After Sacred Lord Myriad Forms departed, the captains and soldiers below all felt the temperature rise a little bit, and they let out a breath. Even the non-humans that were prepared for it weren''t able to block the cold.


    "That human brat managed to harm Sacred Lord Myriad Forms!" Sacred Lord Anyou was shocked.


    Whoosh! Boom!


    A golden figure charged toward Sacred Lord Anyou, and a terrifying, desolate bloodline made Sacred Lord Anyou turn solemn and release a gray Sacred Power.


    "Blood Flames Exploding Slash!"


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Tie Hongling slashed out an arc of red toward Sacred Lord Anyou.


    "That brat''s not dead yet?" The female prodigy from the eaglemen race revealed a surprised expression. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' display of strength scared her. She didn''t even dare to look at him, but a human prodigy who was only at the Quasi-Sacred Lord rank could exchange blows with Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and even draw him away?


    "Zhao Feng''s drawn Sacred Lord Myriad Forms away!"


    Old Ying understood what Zhao Feng wanted to do. It was a big disadvantage for the Ninth Prince if Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was fighting nearby, but was Zhao Feng really able to stop Sacred Lord Myriad Forms?


    Shu~~~


    Zhao Feng passed through the power of ice with difficulty.


    "The power of the Eyes of Myriad Forms is far too strong!" Zhao Feng exclaimed and sighed as he flew with as much speed as he could.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms could summon the power of nature with every movement and action. If Zhao Feng didn''t direct him away, then the power of the cold would be able to kill all the human soldiers.


    "Hmph, all of Heaven and Earth is my power. You can''t run away!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms snickered coldly as he thrust out his hand nonchalantly.


    Whoosh!


    A beam of rainbow-colored Mystic Light Sacred Power shot toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng relied on the ability of his God''s Spiritual Eye and dodged the attack since he knew where it was going to land.


    However, the rainbow-colored Mystic Light Sacred Power that scraped past Zhao Feng instantly turned green, and a vine several yards wide grew from it. The vine then split into countless smaller vines, which wrapped around Zhao Feng.


    "Is this the power of Myriad Forms?"


    Zhao Feng''s expression turned to surprise. Rumors said that the power of Myriad Forms could utilize any natural power in Heaven and Earth.


    "Not good, it''s sucking away my lifeforce and Yuan Qi!"


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body, but he found that he was unable to escape from the laws of Wood. These vines also sucked his lifeforce and essence, gradually weakening his power.


    "Wood of Wind Lightning!"


    Zhao Feng summoned another power of Wind Lightning within the Crystal Core dimension. A faint green ripple of wood and lightning instantly appeared outside Zhao Feng''s body and started to heal his injuries.


    Zhao Feng then put the Wood of Wind Lightning into the vines. The element of Lightning within the Wood of Wind Lightning was perhaps able to stun these vines.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng struggled out of the vines that had been weakened.


    "The law of Wood!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyebrows furrowed. He was the owner of the Eyes of Myriad Forms, so he could control the power of nature, but this brat controlled so many elements. Was he trying to take over the control of nature somehow?


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes squinted together, and the Wood-elemental power that Zhao Feng destroyed turned into a sea of flames that surrounded Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms sent out another beam of Myriad Forms Sacred Power, and the rainbow-colored Mystic Light Sacred Power turned dark yellow and formed a layer of dark yellow ash that spread across the air.


    Zhao Feng, who was surrounded by a sea of fire, instantly felt a pressure as strong as Mount Tai descend on him. There was another strong force apart from gravity. Zhao Feng felt as if he had been buried underground. Any movement he made required a lot of effort in order to struggle from the gravity and restrictions from the power of Earth.


    From Fire came Earth; the surge of heat also increased the power of the dark yellow ashes and made the power of gravity even stronger.

 1031 Myriad Forms Dimension

    Chapter 1031 - Myriad Forms Dimension


    In terms of restriction ability, the Intent of Earth was stronger than the Intent of Wood. The Intent of Earth that Sacred Lord Myriad Forms controlled was extremely close to the origin - it was pure. Adding on the fact that he had reached the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm and also had the Intent of Fire increasing his strength, Zhao Feng found it very hard to even move his body.


    If it was a normal Quasi-Sacred Lord, they would have been buried alive by the Intent of Earth contained within the dark yellow ashes. Zhao Feng had to rely on the 6th level of his Sacred Lightning Body to bear the weight of the Intent of Earth.


    "The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique only touches the Intent of Earth in the next level."


    Zhao Feng didn''t specialize in the laws of Earth, so he was instantly suppressed by the Intent of Earth that the owner of the Eyes of Myriad Forms used.


    "Hmph, how will you run away this time?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms acted all high and mighty as he looked down at Zhao Feng.


    "Sword of Piercing Metal!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms waved his hand, and a surge of rainbow-colored Mystic Light Sacred Power turned bright gold as it transformed into several thousand piercing swords that stabbed toward Zhao Feng.


    Not good! If that hits me, I''m dead!


    Zhao Feng felt a danger he had never felt before. His Sacred Lightning Body had reached the 6th level and could take the attacks of normal initial-stage Mystic Light Realms head-on, but Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had reached the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm. The Intent of Metal he released was especially pure and strong; it had reached the power of a late-stage Mystic Light Realm.


    The strength of an attack from a late-stage Mystic Light Realm could instantly turn Zhao Feng into ashes.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared from the Misty Spatial World holding a spade, and it was also restricted by the Intent of Earth.


    "Eh? A cat?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was faintly surprised. He didn''t know what Zhao Feng meant by summoning a cat at this time, but this cat couldn''t escape his Intent of Earth either, so what could it do?


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat looked at Sacred Lord Myriad Forms with disdain.


    Dong!


    The little thieving cat slowly moved the spade, and the dark yellow ashes around Zhao Feng started to shake as the power of Earth weakened. The pressure on Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat reduced drastically.


    The little thieving cat could now move a little bit more, so it dug down with the spade a couple more times, then jumped back into the Misty Spatial World.


    Crack!


    The dark yellow ashes floating in the air started to shake.


    "What? That spade¡­!?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was stunned. He didn''t expect the normal-looking spade in the little thieving cat''s hands to be able to get rid of the dark yellow ashes and weaken the power of Earth.


    Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body at full power and used the Fire of Wind Lightning to push aside the dark yellow dust nearby.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, several thousand golden flashing swords were flying forward.


    "Sacred Lightning Protection!"


    Without saying anything else, Zhao Feng circulated the Sacred Lightning Body and used it with the Ice Imperial Spear to defend himself.


    Ding!


    The golden swords sliced through the Sacred Lightning Protection.


    "What powerful penetration abilities!" Zhao Feng exclaimed. It was indeed worthy of being a Metal-elemental attack. It was extremely strong, and it used the characteristics of the Metal element to the maximum.


    Boom! Ding! Ding!


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Protection shattered apart, and a surge of recoiling force instantly shot out.


    However, the next instant, lightning appeared within the golden swords and ignored the majority of the recoil.


    "Hmph, with the Eyes of Myriad Forms, my attacks can turn into any element I want them to be!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms snickered coldly.


    The countless golden swords were blocked by the barrier formed by the Ice imperial Spear after piercing through the Sacred Lightning Protection. Without any accident, the golden swords pierced through the Ice Imperial armor and were about to stab into Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body.


    "Water condensing into Ice!"


    The barrier of water around Zhao Feng turned into ice and released a coldness that was ready to slow down the golden swords. However, as Zhao Feng expected, a surge of Ice and Water Intent appeared from the golden swords and continued to stab toward Zhao Feng after ignoring the resistance of the Ice Imperial battle armor.


    "Little World of Wind Lightning!"


    At the critical moment, an ancient storm spread behind Zhao Feng and covered him completely like a dark ball.


    Ding! Ding! Bam!


    Countless golden swords penetrated the defense of Zhao Feng''s Little World.


    Zhao Feng had to fully control his Little World of Wind Lightning to survive.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. If it wasn''t for the fact that the Sacred Lightning Protection and Ice Imperial battle armor had weakened the attack, his Little World of Wind lightning might not have been able to block the attack.


    In terms of offense, the power of Metal wasn''t quite as strong as Fire, but its penetration ability was stronger and it was sharper than the power of Wind.


    "What a condensed Little World!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' gaze paused.


    With Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' control over the power of nature, he could instantly tell how unusual Zhao Feng''s Little World was. A normal Little World wouldn''t have been able to block his Metal-powered attack.


    "Then let me stab your Little World into a beehive!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms snickered coldly as he waved his hand once more, and a surge of Myriad Forms Sacred Power appeared in the air.


    "Metal Sword Wind Storm!"


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Golden light instantly flashed across Heaven and Earth as countless golden sword phantoms flew around the sky and seemed to become a world of golden sword-light. This golden sword-light was extremely sharp, and it could ignore whatever stood in its way as it rotated around Heaven and Earth.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All of the piercing swords pointed toward Zhao Feng and stabbed at him.


    "This¡­!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes bulged open as he gazed around Heaven and Earth. Facing such a powerful Metal attack, the Little World of Wind Lightning definitely wouldn''t be able to block it. Instead, it would be heavily damaged.


    However, Zhao Feng''s elements of Wind Lightning, Water, Wood, and Fire were ineffective against Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. This was also why Sacred Lord Myriad Forms tried not to use any power of Wind, Lightning, Fire, or Water against Zhao Feng because Zhao Feng was resilient against them.


    "Maybe this could work¡­."


    Zhao Feng felt the world of golden swords and remembered how he used the Light of Dispersion to disperse the purple mist on the 9th floor of the Purple Star Tower.


    Zhao Feng immediately retracted his Little World of Wind Lightning.


    Weng~~


    A golden rippled jumped out from Zhao Feng''s left eye. This golden ripple came from the mysterious golden ball and didn''t contain any element. This golden ripple spun in the air and formed a faint golden barrier that shielded Zhao Feng inside.


    "Law of Light?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' expression paused for a moment as he squinted, but his Eyes of Myriad Forms had no reaction. This meant that, either Zhao Feng''s left eye didn''t contain any element of Light, or his Eyes of Myriad Forms couldn''t control this "light."


    "You want to stop my Golden Sword Storm with just that?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms couldn''t help but laugh.


    The golden ripple that Zhao Feng released didn''t have any elemental power within it, nor did it have a strong undulation of True Yuan. What use did it have then?


    "This still isn''t enough!"


    Zhao Feng''s gaze was decisive. His dispersion ability needed time to disperse the target. Zhao Feng would probably be stabbed into nothing before the Light of Dispersion managed to disperse anything.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng immediately started to burn his True Yuan and blood as he pushed his Sacred Lightning Body to the maximum. A dominating surge of power instantly spread.


    The Eyes of Myriad Forms didn''t control lifeforce. Zhao Feng had also absorbed a large amount of Ancient Dream Realm aura after re-cultivating, and he had eaten a large number of Ancient Dream Realm fruits. This meant that the explosive force from the Sacred Lightning Body was very strong.


    Whoosh!


    Countless golden swords around Heaven and Earth were about to stab into Zhao Feng''s body, but they were slowed down for an instant by this original and powerful force.


    Hu~~


    At that instant, the Light of Dispersion started to work.


    "Hmph. Intent of pure Metal!"


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile. While the structure of these atoms was tight, they only had one element and were very condensed. The structure of all the atoms was the same.


    Zhao Feng realized that, the purer something was, the easier it was to disintegrate it.


    Weng~~


    The faint golden ripple of light instantly spread out from Zhao Feng''s body.


    Hu~~


    The golden swords instantly disappeared wherever the golden light went, and all of Heaven and Earth returned to normal within an instant.


    "What!?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms exclaimed.


    He originally thought that Zhao Feng would definitely die from that attack. Furthermore, since all Intents in Heaven and Earth were being controlled by him, it was impossible for Zhao Feng to use his treasure to pass through space.


    However, in an instant, the enormous Metal-elemental attack that he released disappeared into thin air.


    He couldn''t understand any of this.


    "Wait, the element of Metal is still in Heaven and Earth!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms squinted his eyes.


    He could still sense that the power of Metal was in Heaven and Earth, but it was extremely difficult for the Eyes of Myriad Forms to control it.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' expression became extremely ugly.


    Zhao Feng was able to counter all five elements and even other powers such as Wind and Lightning.


    I''ve finally found a power to counter him!


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. He would be able to easily disintegrate a pure elemental power. However, the Light of Dispersion used up a lot of his energy.


    On the other hand, the energy that Sacred Lord Myriad Forms used was extremely tiny. Even if he used up all his Myriad Forms power, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms could easily control the power of nature with his own power, given his understanding of it.


    "Human, you brought this upon yourself!"


    The lines in Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes started to spin. At this instant, all of Heaven and Earth seemed to tremble as countless elements and powers moved through the air. It was as if the world was coming to an end.


    "Myriad Forms Dimension!"


    Shua!


    A rainbow-colored light appeared around Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, slowly trapping them within it.


    "Not good! The dimension within the Eyes of Myriad Forms is the source of its power!"


    Zhao Feng was stunned. He understood a lot about the Eight Great God Eyes. Any one of them, as well as their descendants'' eyes, contained a dimension within. For example, the Eyes of Death had the Dimension of Death while the Eyes of Samsara had the Samsara of Death, and there was also the Ancient Dream Realm within Zhao Feng''s unknown God Eye.


    The abilities of every dimension were different, but the Samsara of Death, the Dimension of Death, and the Ancient Dream Realm were all support types. However, the Myriad Forms Dimension within the Eyes of Myriad Forms could be released at will, meaning that it was an offensive-type dimension.


    "The Myriad Forms Dimension is similar to my Little World, and it can easily merge with Heaven and Earth!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms floated in the Myriad Forms Dimension and looked at Zhao Feng as if he was already dead.


    "This is the Myriad Forms Dimension?"


    Zhao Feng''s heart jumped as he surveyed this rainbow-colored dimension. This meant that Sacred Lord Myriad Forms didn''t even need to form a Little World; all he needed to do was awaken the origin power of the Eyes of Myriad Forms and he would be able to use that as his Little World.


    The Little Worlds of Sacred Lords weren''t able to fully merge into the dimension of the continent zone since the laws within them were too strong, but the Myriad Forms Dimension was an exception. It could borrow the power of nature and merge into almost any dimension.

 1032 Power of the Arrow

    Chapter 1032 - Power of the Arrow


    The humans and non-humans were fighting in front of Meng City. After Sacred Lord Myriad Forms left, the powerful cold started to fade away, and the Ninth Prince''s forces ¨C who were relying on their defensive array to protect the city ¨C managed to slowly turn the tide around. Although they didn''t have an advantage, they were able to stabilize the situation.


    "This female from the Tie Family is so strong!" Sacred Lord Anyou was secretly shocked.


    He was the one at a disadvantage after being attacked by the two Sky Shaking Golden Apes and Tie Hongling. The Sky Shaking Golden Apes could block Sacred Lord Anyou''s Sacred Power while Tie Hongling used any chance to attack and perfectly counter Sacred Lord Anyou.


    "But the Blood Devil Sun bloodline can''t last very long. This female from the Tie Family won''t be able to last much longer." Sacred Lord Anyou snickered coldly. Without Tie Hongling interfering, he could finish off the two Sky Shaking Golden Apes.


    Besides, there was no need for him to give it his all. Everything would come to an end after Sacred Lord Myriad Forms returned.


    However, at the same time, Sacred Lord Anyou started to wonder why Sacred Lord Myriad Forms still hadn''t finished off that human prodigy yet.


    "My bloodline power is weakening!" Tie Hongling knew that she couldn''t last much longer. Sacred Lord Anyou was strong in both offense and defense. Once her bloodline power was used up, she would lose.


    "Scarlet Jade Glass Body!"


    Tie Hongling''s momentum rose as a red light glowed around her. It was as if she was being reborn through flames. The snow and ice instantly started to melt as a wave of hot air spread in every direction.


    The Scarlet Jade Glass Body worked with the Blood Devil Sun bloodline perfectly and could unleash its characteristics to the maximum.


    Bam!


    Tie Hongling was similar to a jade-like fire phoenix as she leapt toward Sacred Lord Anyou. The two Sky Shaking Golden Apes also circulated their Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline.


    "Hmph, so the Crown Prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty is only at this level!" The Fifth Serpent Son held a green blade and clashed against the Ninth Prince. The cold environment increased the strength of his bloodline and battle-power.


    "Serpent!" Green mist appeared from the Fifth Serpent Son as he suddenly turned into a large green serpent dragon surrounded by a flow of snow and charged at the Ninth Prince.


    "Hmph. Draconic providence!" The Ninth Prince immediately used his draconic providence to make himself stronger as he held the ancient green sword of lightning and charged at the Fifth Serpent Son.


    Elsewhere, the two non-human female prodigies fought against some of Zhao Feng''s beast horde.


    The Wind Wolf King had become much stronger after Zhao Feng raised it, and it was able to fight against the female eagleman with the help of a few other Wind Wolves. Zhao Feng''s Black Striped Scorpions and Red-Faced Ice Snakes weren''t affected by the cold environment and could actually release even more battle-power, so they were able to stabilize the situation with the low-echelon battlefield.


    However, the snow and ice suddenly started to become chaotic, and a terrifying power of Myriad Forms appeared. Clouds flipped in the sky, and an occasional fire snake or bolt of lightning could be seen. The earth trembled, and the ground cracked. Water started to flow, and countless trees appeared in various places.


    "That is¡­!? Could Sacred Lord Myriad Forms have summoned his Myriad Forms Dimension?"


    Sacred Lord Anyou, who was still being pushed back by Tie Hongling and the Sky Shaking Golden Apes, exclaimed. Being a non-human, he had heard about it before. The moment the Myriad Forms Dimension appeared, the origin force that was released from within it had the ability to change Heaven and Earth.


    "Zhao Feng, please hang on!" Old Ying prayed in his heart.


    If the mere remnants from Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' power could create such changes in Heaven and Earth even at this distance, it was hard to imagine how terrifying the power was for Zhao Feng, who was facing it directly.


    At this moment, within the rainbow-colored Myriad Forms Dimension:


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' strength is probably even greater within the Myriad Forms Dimension!"


    Zhao Feng became solemn. He felt as if the surroundings were now repelling him. Zhao Feng wasn''t even able to control the normal Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    "Little World of Wind Lightning!"


    A desolate storm spread behind Zhao Feng''s back and charged at the rainbow-colored barrier nearby in an attempt to break through this dimension.


    "Hmph, how can the Little World of a measly Quasi-Sacred Lord be compared to the origin dimension in the Eye of Myriad Forms?"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had to admit that Zhao Feng''s Little World was indeed strong, but he felt that Zhao Feng''s actions were laughable.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm ¨C World Destruction Palm!"


    Zhao Feng circulated the Fire of Wind Lightning and his Sacred Lightning power into his right palm. He obviously couldn''t put his hopes on the fact that his Little World of Wind Lightning would be able to break through the Myriad Forms Dimension.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng used the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm inside the Myriad Forms Dimension. Its power should be even stronger, but he didn''t know whether or not it could affect the Myriad Forms Dimension.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng slammed down his palm. At the same time, the Little World of Wind Lightning''s power also gathered.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s scarlet lightning palm released a strong surge of power, but nothing happened to the Myriad Forms Dimension. It was as if Zhao Feng''s palm was a stone sinking into the ocean as it disappeared without any traces.


    However, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms suddenly cried out.


    "Sii! This brat¡­!" A trail of blood came from Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes.


    "So that''s how it is. Damaging the Myriad Forms Dimension is the same as damaging the Eyes of Myriad Forms!" Zhao Feng seemed to understand.


    "Die!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was enraged. He originally thought that Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to do anything within the Myriad Forms Dimension, but just now, Zhao Feng''s palm technique managed to damage his Eyes of Myriad Forms.


    Boom!


    Now that Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was angry, the Myriad Forms Dimension started to move, and an extreme Intent filled the air. The Intent and power of different elements within the Myriad Forms Dimension attacked Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng felt like the entire world was his enemy. Every inch of space contained pure power.


    "Let my Myriad Forms Dimension devour the elements within your body!"


    Greed flashed through Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes. Zhao Feng controlled many elements, and he had a high understanding of them. The Eyes of Myriad Forms should be able to become even stronger after the Myriad Forms Dimension devoured Zhao Feng.


    "So strong! Even some late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords might not be a match for Sacred Lord Myriad Forms within the Myriad Forms Dimension!" Zhao Feng was stunned.


    As expected, every descendant of a God Eye has unusual power.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, who was only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, had the power of a late-stage Mystic Light Realm. It was hard to imagine how terrifying a true God Eye would be!


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng was only at the Quasi-Sacred Lord rank, but he was able to kill someone at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm and even fight against those at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm by relying on his left eye, which hadn''t even fully awakened yet. This meant that Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye was a level stronger than the Eyes of Myriad Forms.


    Would the fully awakened God''s Spiritual Eye be on the same level as the Eight Great God Eyes? Zhao Feng couldn''t help but look forward to it. However, if he wanted to witness that, he couldn''t die here.


    Zhao Feng''s current strength wasn''t enough to face Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, who had the battle-power of a late-stage Mystic Light Realm.


    "If that''s the case, then let me test out its power." Zhao Feng suddenly revealed a faint smile.


    "Hmph. This will be the only moment you can laugh!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' face went green as he waved his hand, and an even stronger surge of Myriad Forms Power appeared within the Myriad Forms Dimension, transforming into pure elemental attacks.


    Zhao Feng''s sudden faint smile made Sacred Lord Myriad Forms feel weird, so he circulated the Myriad Forms Dimension and released an attack that could threaten late-stage Mystic Light Realms.


    Shua!


    A dark silver bow and a golden arrow appeared in Zhao Feng''s hands. Zhao Feng immediately poured his True Yuan into this golden arrow as the elemental attacks of the Myriad Forms Dimension were about to engulf him.


    Weng~~ Whoosh!


    A terrifying piercing power spread, and the image of a hundred-yard-long divine arrow formed. The attacks around Zhao Feng were instantly destroyed, and even the Myriad Forms Dimension was affected.


    "What a terrifying Metal elemental power. Wait, it also contains a wisp of divine power that surpasses the Mystic Light Realm!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes felt a stinging pain. He wouldn''t be scared of normal Metal elemental power, but the element of Metal radiating from Zhao Feng''s arrow was simply too strong. His Eyes of Myriad Forms couldn''t control it at all.


    Zhao Feng immediately put the arrow onto the Sky Locking Bow and pulled the bowstring.


    This golden arrow was the one that Zhao Feng had bought from the Heaven''s Legacy City after giving them the blueprint for the God Slaying Arrow.


    It was hard for Zhao Feng to fully use it right now, but it definitely wasn''t as difficult as when he used the God Slaying Arrow last time.


    Weng~~


    The image of the arrow instantly condensed when Zhao Feng pulled the bowstring, and limitless laws and Intents appeared above it.


    At this instant, the metallic weapons in the hands of the soldiers around Meng City started to tremble.


    "Could it be the God Slaying Arrow¡­!?"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' heart jumped as a surge of danger and uneasiness spread throughout his body.


    "This brat has such a terrifying treasure!?"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes squinted as the Myriad Forms Dimension disappeared.


    Hu~~ Weng!


    A gust of Wind Lightning appeared around Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and pushed his speed to the maximum.


    "This feeling¡­ I''ve been locked onto!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms felt a terrifying power covering him, and he remembered that the bow in Zhao Feng''s hand seemed to be an Inheritance Sacred weapon¡­ the Sky Locking Bow!


    Beng~~ Whoosh!


    A golden arrow seemed to pierce through Heaven and Earth as it shot toward Sacred Lord Myriad Forms with its terrifying metallic power.


    "Don''t¡­!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes started to spin as he ran. At this instant, all the power of Heaven and Earth surged toward the golden arrow and turned into a sea of flames that tried to weaken its power.


    Although Fire was said to counter Metal, this sea of fire didn''t have much of an effect in front of absolute power. The golden arrow instantly passed through the sea of fire and arrived behind Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Myriad Forms Dimension!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms felt a stinging pain across through his entire power. He revealed a decisive look and gritted his teeth as he released the Myriad Forms Dimension again. The power of Fire that had evolved from the rainbow-colored Myriad Forms Dimension was several times stronger than Zhao Feng''s perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline or his Fire of Wind Lightning.


    "Laws of Yin and Yang!"


    Two streaks of blood appeared from Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes once more. He circulated his Eyes of Myriad Forms to the maximum; a white ball and a black ball jumped out from the center of his Eyes of Myriad Forms and appeared behind him.


    Boom!


    A storm of destruction engulfed Heaven and Earth as an explosion sounded.


    Zhao Feng had a slightly tired expression, and his left eye glowed with gold as he looked at the explosion in the distance.


    "I didn''t expect Sacred Lord Myriad Forms to have another hidden card!"


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye obviously caught sight of the one white and one black ball of Yin and Yang laws.

 1033 Victory

    Chapter 1033 - Victory


    At the edges of the metallic storm of metal, only a small half of a metallic non-human could be seen.


    Hu~~


    The power of metal faded away and revealed Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' face.


    "I think that wasn''t a real God Slaying Arrow or else I would be dead by now!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes were dim, and his aura was extremely weak.


    "I will definitely take revenge!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms gritted his teeth. This was the heaviest injury he had sustained ever since he started cultivating, and it was done by a human Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    Furthermore, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had only broken through to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm not long ago and hadn''t consolidated his foundation yet. He believed that Zhao Feng didn''t have any more such treasures, so he would return once he healed.


    Hu~~ Weng!


    Wind Lightning surrounded Sacred Lord Myriad Forms as he sped off into the sky.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye obviously saw Sacred Lord Myriad Forms run away, but at this instant, he was also heavily injured and had used up too much of his True Yuan. He might not be able to catch up to Sacred Lord Myriad Forms even if he wanted to keep fighting.


    "The power of this substandard God Slaying Arrow isn''t bad."


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Although he hadn''t killed Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, who was only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, the chance of normal late-stage Mystic Light Realms surviving against this arrow didn''t exceed 10%.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had only lived because of the Eyes of Myriad Forms and how it could control all physical attacks, attacking and defending at the same time. The sea of flames that the Myriad Forms Dimension had transformed into had weakened the power of the substandard God Slaying Arrow dramatically. The laws of Yin and Yang at the end were probably the strongest Myriad Forms Power that Sacred Lord Myriad Forms could use.


    Zhao Feng immediately drank some Hundred Origin Fruit Juice and some other healing products. At the same time, he circulated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and the Soul Recovery Divine Technique to increase the rate of his soul''s recovery.


    Although the Eyes of Myriad Forms was based on physical attacks, attacks from Sacred Lords could pass through the physical dimension and reach the soul. This meant that, every time Zhao Feng sustained damage from Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, his soul would also be partially damaged.


    ¡­


    The non-humans and humans fighting outside Meng City all paused and looked at the storm of destruction in shock. They were completely stunned and unable to calm down. At that instant, the power made the battlefield turn dark, and many of those with lower cultivation immediately spat out blood and fainted.


    "What is happening over there?" Old Ying looked into the distance with a dazed look.


    "Brother Zhao, please be okay!" the Ninth Prince prayed in his heart. Although the explosion was extremely terrifying, he still had a tinge of hope.


    "Zhao Feng, you can''t die!" Tie Hongling was extremely worried. At this point, she had stopped using her bloodline, and her battle-power was decreasing. However, Sacred Lord Anyou had also been injured to a certain degree facing the triple-team attacks.


    "Senior Zhao!" The eyes of the three Ji Family disciples couldn''t help but become blurry. Zhao Feng had given them many pointers on the way to the battlefield and had taken care of them after arriving. They were extremely grateful.


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms is using such power? That brat is definitely dead!" The injured Sacred Lord Anyou revealed a look of joy and shock. As soon as Sacred Lord Myriad Forms returned, then everything would come to an end.


    "Hmph, your strongest expert has died. You''ve lost!" The Fifth Serpent Son had a cold expression.


    Now that the explosion calmed down, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was about to arrive, and the battle had come to an end. In the Fifth Serpent Son''s heart, it was impossible for Sacred Lord Myriad Forms to lose.


    On the other hand, the humans were silent. In their heart, the best Zhao Feng could do was stall Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. How could he possibly defeat Sacred Lord Myriad Forms?


    "Hahaha, are you talking about me?"


    A laugh sounded in the distance in response to the Fifth Serpent Son.


    The entire battlefield was stunned as dozens of thousands of gazes looked toward the distance. Fear and panic filled the faces of the non-humans. They had pale-white faces and were stunned.


    "Why is it you? Where is Sacred Lord Myriad Forms?"


    The Fifth Serpent Son shook as he looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief. Why was it Zhao Feng that returned to the battlefield? This was impossible!


    "Even Sacred Lord Myriad Forms¡­!"


    Sacred Lord Anyou spat out a mouthful of blood. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had reached the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but even he had lost.


    Many non-humans looked into the distance and waited for Sacred Lord Myriad Forms to appear as well.


    Roar~~~~


    Zhao Feng''s beast horde started to howl when they saw Zhao Feng return.


    Boom!


    The humans all started to cheer as well.


    "Zhao Feng returned alive!"


    "No, Zhao Feng defeated Sacred Lord Myriad Forms!"


    "Captain Zhao Feng!"


    Even though these human soldiers saw Zhao Feng return in person, they couldn''t believe it was real.


    "Senior Zhao!" Ji Tianming and company from the Ji Family instantly called out. Words couldn''t explain the excitement in their heart.


    "Hehehe, immeasurable!" This was the only evaluation Old Ying could give. Ever since he first met Zhao Feng, he could never see through him.


    "Defeat the non-humans!"


    Zhao Feng looked at the non-humans on the battlefield with a cold expression. Although Zhao Feng looked very weak right now, he was someone that had defeated Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. Even if he was in a weak state, no one dared to fight against him.


    The non-humans were relying on Sacred Lord Myriad Forms too much, so when they lost their pillar of support, their minds crumbled.


    "A human needs to have the battle-power of a late-stage Mystic Light Realm at the least to be able to defeat Sacred Lord Myriad Forms!" Sacred Lord Anyou murmured.


    A heavily injured late-stage Mystic Light Realm-level fighter would have the battle-power of an initial-stage Mystic Light Realm at the least. Sacred Lord Anyou didn''t dare to come to any rash conclusions about Zhao Feng''s power.


    "Full retreat!" Sacred Lord Anyou gave the order, and the non-humans instantly threw away their helmets and armor as they retreated with full speed.


    "Your Highness, let''s go!" Sacred Lord Anyou looked at the Fifth Serpent Son.


    Hu~~


    All of the non-humans instantly started to retreat.


    "Captain Zhao Feng, how did you defeat Sacred Lord Myriad Forms?"


    "Captain Zhao Feng, come down and heal yourself!"


    Many captains looked at Zhao Feng with fiery gazes of admiration.


    "Brother Zhao, are you okay!?"


    The Ninth Prince came to Zhao Feng''s side and didn''t bother with the non-humans running away.


    Even though Zhao Feng had defeated Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, he must have been heavily injured as well.


    From the perspective of the humans, it was already a surprise that they could win at all. Therefore, they didn''t really bother with the non-humans that were running away.


    Zhao Feng had a deep expression, and a wisp of mental energy flashed through his left eye. The Mark of the God Eye was set on more than a dozen non-human Emperors.


    In the next instant, a dark silver bow appeared in his hand.


    Beng~~ Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng suddenly pulled his bowstring, and a scarlet arrow of lightning shot through the air and pierced through the chest of a non-human Emperor.


    "I was detained by Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and didn''t manage to kill him. I need to obtain some war points!" Zhao Feng said in a low voice, and the captains that were greeting Zhao Feng instantly paused.


    The originally thought that Zhao Feng was heavily injured and would only be able to use 20-30% of his full battle-power if he could fight at all. However, a casual blow from Zhao Feng could take away the life of a non-human Emperor.


    "Captain Zhao Feng is indeed an unparalleled hero!" a captain said after a while.


    "Hahaha, kill the non-humans!" The Ninth Prince roared with laughter.


    With Zhao Feng''s encouragement, all the humans charged after the non-humans.


    "That brat still has the ability to fight?" Sacred Lord Anyou was filled with fear and shock. After Zhao Feng defeated Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, he was still coming out to fight and displayed strong battle-power. This left a solemn mark on the non-humans.


    Beng~ Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng pulled his bowstring once more and killed another Emperor.


    Zhao Feng had indeed been heavily injured in the fight against Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, but it wasn''t as serious as he first imagined. Furthermore, his recovery speed was very fast when relying on the 6th level of the Sacred Lightning Body, his undying body, the Wood of Wind Lightning, and the Water of Wind Lightning. In terms of the soul, he had also cultivated the Soul Recovery Divine Technique.


    "Brother Zhao, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, he¡­?" the Ninth Prince messaged Zhao Feng.


    "Ran away!" Zhao Feng replied simply.


    The Ninth Prince nodded his head after hearing what Zhao Feng said. It would too incredulous if Zhao Feng managed to kill Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. Even if he reported that to the Lan Province War Hall, no one would believe him.


    "Zhao Feng, your war points this time are going to be big!" the Ninth Prince said with a smile. The Ninth Prince had obviously heard Zhao Feng talk about obtaining war points.


    "Firstly, your beast horde did a very good job helping the low and middle echelons."


    The war points gained from the work of beast hordes was obviously added to Zhao Feng, who was their owner. Zhao Feng had forgotten about this.


    "On top of that, although you didn''t manage to kill Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, you forced him away and determined the final outcome. The war points from that won''t be lower than killing a Sacred Lord!" the Ninth Prince continued.


    After all, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had broken through to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and his battle-power was even stronger than his cultivation would suggest.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment after hearing what the Ninth Prince said. If it was calculated that way, it would be quite good.


    There were many ways to obtain war points on the battlefield. Even though Zhao Feng didn''t kill Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, he would still obtain war points on the level of killing a Sacred Lord.


    The humans didn''t chase for too long and soon returned to the city. After all, the Ninth Prince was still the one at the disadvantage, and they weren''t at their peak state.


    The Ninth Prince immediately reported their takeover of Meng City as well as this battle to the Lan Province War Hall after they returned to Meng City.


    The reinforcements that the Ninth Prince had requested arrived at Meng City three days later.


    "Your Highness Crown Prince, you managed to defeat the non-humans?"


    The newcomer was a Sacred Lord from the Thirteenth Prince''s city. Since the situation was urgent, no one knew what would happen. Therefore, the Ninth Prince could only ask for help from whoever was closest.


    "Hehe, I was just lucky." The Ninth Prince gave a faint smile. He acted like he was extremely busy and that he didn''t have time to interact with this Sacred Lord.


    The Ninth Prince hadn''t sent his request for reinforcements to the Thirteenth Prince, and no one from any other city had come. It was obvious that his request for reinforcements had been stopped by the Thirteenth Prince''s forces, and the Thirteenth Prince would obviously not send reinforcements to the Ninth Prince quickly.


    "As expected of Your Highness Crown Prince! Your destiny reaches the heavens!" the Sacred Lord said respectfully, but in reality, he was stunned.


    According to the information that the Ninth Prince had sent, the person that came to attack was Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. How could the Ninth Prince have protected the city?


    However, this Sacred Lord didn''t ask too much. He just returned to the Thirteenth Prince''s stronghold with the troops he brought along.

 1034 Ambush Half-Way

    Chapter 1034 - Ambush Half-Way


    Zhao Feng entered seclusion after the battle. He had been in a level of danger he had never felt before during his battle with Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. He felt as if all his aspects had increased after being in such danger.


    Firstly, his Soul Intent had recovered to its peak and might be able to reach the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm soon. Zhao Feng also had a better understanding of the elements in the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    Zhao Feng consolidated his foundation after returning to his residence, then he headed toward the Ninth Prince''s hall.


    "Your Highness, what''s the situation like with the non-humans?" Zhao Feng asked.


    Things wouldn''t be as simple they used to be after taking over Meng City and defeating Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. If even Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was defeated, the non-humans would definitely do something significant in response.


    "For now, the non-humans have only sent a few more upper echelon members and a bunch of array masters to the non-human stronghold nearest Meng City. They should have changed tactics and focused on complete defense!" the Ninth Prince slowly said. Over this period of time, he had sent scouts to find out the situation.


    Because of Zhao Feng, the non-humans were all scared of the Ninth Prince''s forces and chose to focus on defense. However, this was expected. Since Zhao Feng had defeated Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, the non-humans had to choose defense unless they were willing to send another expert on the same level as Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "That''s good!"


    Zhao Feng relaxed a little bit, but this was only momentary. The war had just started, and not many high-level experts would appear. However, if the war continued, the two lord dynasties would send even stronger people. At that moment, the first place the non-humans would focus on would be the city that the Ninth Prince was in.


    "We also asked Lan Province for a Sacred Lord," the Ninth Prince added.


    With the Ninth Prince''s current results, the army that he was leading would be a needle in the eyes of the non-humans. The Ninth Prince''s forces would definitely lose in the next battle against the non-humans if they didn''t receive reinforcements.


    The Lan Province War Hall had agreed to the Ninth Prince''s request, and someone with the battle-power of a Sacred Lord would soon join the Ninth Prince''s forces.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He could relax if there was someone else with the battle-power of a Sacred Lord joining.


    "Report! A letter from Duke Nanfeng!" The voice of a guard sounded from outside the hall.


    "Come in!" the Ninth Prince immediately said, and a guard handed over a letter to the Ninth Prince.


    "Zhao Feng, this is for you!"


    The Ninth Prince read it and handed over a piece of paper to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment before putting his Divine Sense into the piece of paper. What Duke Nanfeng said rang in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "The expanding forces of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion in the continent have clashed with Nine Darkness Palace!"


    These few words made Zhao Feng''s expression change dramatically. What he worried about most still happened. Although Zhao Feng supported the Crown Prince and the Nine Darkness Palace wouldn''t deal with them on the surface, they could create chances or use some excuses to deal with the Ocean Smoke Pavilion in secret.


    "Your Highness, it looks like I need to leave for a while!" Zhao Feng asked to leave.


    Zhao Feng had spent a ton of resources on the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, and the assassination organization led by Supreme Emperor Dark Night. He couldn''t just leave them alone.


    "Go." The Ninth Prince agreed. Although he didn''t want Zhao Feng to leave the army, Zhao Feng had his own private matters to attend to, and he couldn''t forcefully keep the latter here.


    "Your Highness, I''ll give this to you." Zhao Feng handed over a spiritual pet bag.


    The Ninth Prince put his Divine Sense into the Spiritual Pet Bag and revealed a stunned expression. There were two Quasi-Sacred Lord Sky Shaking Golden Apes and two beast packs inside.


    Zhao Feng didn''t have much use for these beasts for the upcoming matter. Furthermore, he was worried about the Ninth Prince and company.


    "Give the beast horde to some beast tamers that Your Highness trusts!" Zhao Feng suggested.


    He had given orders to the Sky Shaking Golden Apes so that the Ninth Prince could use them as he pleased. It was basically giving the Ninth Prince a protection talisman.


    Zhao Feng then said goodbye to a few people from the army that he was familiar with and told some captains to look after the three geniuses from the Ji Family and Emperor Ghost Scales.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll come with you!" Tie Hongling said with love.


    "Your grandfather told you to come here to train yourself. If you leave the battlefield, you might as well return to the Tie Family." Zhao Feng declined her outright.


    Later that day, he left Meng City and headed toward the Lan Province War Hall.


    "I''ll first exchange my war points."


    Zhao Feng knew what he wanted to do. According to his guesses, his war points should put him up very high on the Lan Province War Board. It was extremely easy to exchange his war points for resources he wanted as well. For example, the Earth-elemental resources that Zhao Feng wanted were very rare in the city''s exchange markets, but they could be acquired in the War Hall.


    Someone immediately sent news to the Thirteenth Prince''s stronghold after Zhao Feng left.


    "Zhao Feng''s finally left the battlefield!" The Thirteenth Prince revealed a nasty smile.


    "Once he leaves the battlefield, he will never come back!" Xi Peng from Nine Darkness Palace revealed a dark smile.


    The two looked at one another smugly.


    "Your Highness!" The sound of a guard suddenly sounded outside the Thirteenth Prince''s hall.


    "What is it?" The Thirteenth Prince''s eyebrows furrowed. He felt unhappy that he was interrupted at this moment.


    "An Elder of the Duanmu Family and Zhao Yufei want to see you!" the guard outside the hall said.


    "What? Yufei is here?"


    The Thirteenth Prince was frightened and didn''t know what to do.


    The Thirteenth Prince soon met the members of the Duanmu Family in another hall.


    "Yufei, are you here to help me?" The Thirteenth Prince''s gaze landed on the female in purple that he thought of night and day.


    They hadn''t met for many years, but Zhao Yufei''s beauty moved the Thirteenth Prince''s heart even more. He was unable to move his gaze away.


    "Your Highness, we''re here to talk to you!" Duanmu Qing said.


    The Thirteenth Prince''s heart dropped. He knew that Duanmu Qing was Zhao Yufei''s Senior Martial Brother and agreed to whatever Zhao Yufei wanted. He was one of the Sacred Lords of the Duanmu Family that was against Zhao Yufei marrying the Thirteenth Prince.


    "Please speak!"


    The Thirteenth Prince had an ugly expression. He already expected what would happen if he couldn''t finish off Zhao Feng in the Crown Prince trial.


    The hall was dead-silent as Duanmu Qing told him what Zhao Yufei wanted.


    "Yufei, I really do love you!" The Thirteenth Prince''s body moved slightly, and he lost control of himself. He didn''t understand why Zhao Yufei liked Zhao Feng so much. He was an imperial prince and someone that might even become the Sacred Emperor. What part of him wasn''t as good as Zhao Feng?


    "I''m going to find Brother Feng now!"


    Zhao Yufei had an emotionless face and didn''t even look at the Thirteenth Prince. She only found out everything after coming out of seclusion. If it weren''t for Duanmu Qing and Sacred Lord Purple Night, she would have already broken off with the Duanmu Family.


    Due to her resistance, the Grand Elder of the Duanmu Family finally agreed to let Duanmu Qing and her talk to the Thirteenth Prince.


    "Yufei, Zhao Feng just left the battlefield!" The Thirteenth Prince couldn''t help but smile.


    "Where did he go?" Zhao Yufei immediately asked.


    "I''m not sure either!"


    The Thirteenth Prince laughed coldly in his heart.


    "Senior Martial Brother, let''s go!" Zhao Yufei immediately got up.


    "Yufei, are you going to brother Ninth Prince?" the Thirteenth Prince questioned.


    He didn''t tell her where Zhao Feng went, so Zhao Yufei obviously wouldn''t be able to see Zhao Feng.


    "Yufei, let''s stay on the battlefield," Duanmu Qing persuaded.


    Being a force that supported the Thirteenth Prince, it would look bad if some people from the Duanmu Family joined the Ninth Prince''s side.


    "Yufei, Zhao Feng will definitely return to the battlefield, and you should just use this period of time to train yourself!" Purple Saint Partial Spirit''s voice sounded.


    After all, it was extremely difficult to find one person in the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    Zhao Yufei finally decided to remain in the Thirteenth Prince''s city after Duanmu Qing and Purple Saint Partial Spirit persuaded her.


    The Thirteenth Prince''s expression changed dramatically after Zhao Yufei and Duanmu Qing left.


    "Zhao Feng!!"


    The Thirteenth Prince gritted his teeth as anger rose in his heart. He regretted the fact that he didn''t personally kill Zhao Feng in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    The Thirteenth Prince didn''t expect that Zhao Feng would become such a large stone that stopped him in his life.


    "Your Highness, it''s impossible for Zhao Feng to return to the battlefield!" Xi Peng''s cold voice sounded.


    "Hmph, that''s right. After missing this chance, they''ll never have the chance to meet again!"


    The Thirteenth Prince slowly calmed down.


    Elsewhere, Zhao Feng was sitting on his flying flaming chariot and heading toward the Lan Province War Hall.


    There were many experts and groups travelling between the battlefields and front lines. Any expert or force that wanted to join the war had to register at the War Hall before they could head toward the cities and join the fights in order to obtain war points.


    The speed and momentum of Zhao Feng''s flying flaming chariot made many people jealous.


    A large weird bird with dragon wings suddenly blocked the path in front of Zhao Feng. There were several dozen fierce-looking people on the weird bird. Three surges of Emperor-level Magnificent Power instantly enveloped Zhao Feng,


    Some nearby people immediately left. It was obvious that they had heard of the group sitting on the weird bird and were scared of them.


    "Brat, I like this flying machine!"


    The leader was a middle-aged person with green hair and an arrogant expression.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze looked into the distance, and his expression remained the same.


    "Why are you in a daze? Our boss is talking to you!"


    A Peak-tier King saw Zhao Feng''s dazed gaze and speechlessness, so he circulated a fiery True Yuan and was about to attack.


    "Sacred Lords¡­?"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes saw through these people and trained onto two figures flying behind them.


    On the way to the War Hall, he had met another Sacred Lord as well, but seeing two Sacred Lords at the same time made him feel weird.


    The two figures suddenly sped up and charged toward Zhao Feng. At this moment, two more figures charged from behind Zhao Feng.


    "Four Sacred Lords!"


    Zhao Feng realized that something was wrong.


    A black flag appeared in each of these people''s hands. A black power from the Dao of Ghosts burned from these flags, and the screech of ghosts sounded across Heaven and Earth. It was enough to make one''s hair stand up on end.


    Hu~~


    At this instant, black light leapt several thousand yards into the sky ¨C four enormous beams that reached the heavens.


    Weng~~


    Everything within a hundred miles was covered by a black-and-blood-colored light. One could faintly see a black burning barrier around the edges.


    Zhao Feng and the people on the weird bird immediately entered a terrifying, dark hell.

 1035 Evil Death Yin Spirit Array

    Chapter 1035 - Evil Death Yin Spirit Array


    The hearts of the several dozen people on the weird bird turned cold as they sensed the terrifying aura of the Ghost Dao and circulated their True Yuan to defend against it.


    Several Sovereigns and half-step Kings did their best to stop the erosion of this wicked power, but in just a short while, their bodies turned pale-white, and their flesh started to fade away until the first skeleton appeared.


    "Sacred Lord¡­ Sacred Lord, please spare us!" The leading middle-aged male immediately knelt and started to tremble.


    "Sacred Lord, when did we ever offend you¡­?"


    The other Emperors and Kings also knelt and begged for forgiveness.


    Some of them privately messaged each other and thought about what bad things they had done for Sacred Lords to personally take action against them.


    The weird bird with dragon wings below their feet screamed as the lifeforce within its body started to fade away.


    "The Evil Death Yin Spirit Array has been set up. You won''t be able to escape even if you have wings!"


    The several dozen people on the weird bird with dragon wings all paused. This Ghost Dao Sacred Lord said "you," which made them suddenly remember something. They turned to look at the golden-haired youth behind them.


    "Sacred Lord, we''re here to deal with him as well!" the leader said.


    "Sacred Lord, please let us out! We''ll help you deal with this brat!" The others all agreed.


    The three Sacred Lords and one Quasi-Sacred Lord near the four corners of the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array ignored these couple dozen people and stared at Zhao Feng.


    "Nine Darkness Palace sent you here?"


    Zhao Feng put away the flying chariot and moved toward the center of the array with an emotionless expression. He had met an ambush just after receiving Duke Nanfeng''s letter; it was obvious that all of this was prepared beforehand.


    "Nine Darkness Palace!"


    The others felt a coldness rise from the bottom of their feet when they heard these three words. It was as if they were in an ice cellar. Everyone knew how Nine Darkness Palace acted in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. They couldn''t imagine what this youth had done in order for Nine Darkness Palace to send three Sacred Lords after him.


    "It doesn''t matter how much a person knows when they''re about to die!"


    One of them was an old granny surrounded by a cold aura. Her face was pale-white as if it was all bone, and it was extremely scary.


    The Evil Death Yin Spirit Array was a Ghost Dao killing array created by the upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace. Four unrivalled Emperors would have the ability to fight against a Sacred Lord with this array, and now there were three Sacred Lords and one Quasi-Sacred Lord in charge of it. Killing a Sacred Lord at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm would be extremely easy.


    "Use the killing array!" a Sacred Lord in black armor roared.


    The three Sacred Lords and one Quasi-Sacred Lord started to circulate a special technique, and they thrust their palms onto the burning array flag.


    Hu~ Hu~ Hu~


    Countless monsters appeared within the black-and-blood-colored dimension of hell. They had nasty expressions and pale-white claws as they killed all living beings within the array.


    A monster attacked someone on the weird bird, and their flesh started to disappear until they turned into a pile of white bones.


    "Fourth bro!" the leading Emperor cried out.


    Even Emperors weren''t able to survive against one of these monsters, and there were six or seven hundred of them within the array. It was hard to imagine how many Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords this array had killed.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    Without saying anything else, Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body to block the aura from this array.


    "This youth is very strong!" The leading Emperor instantly felt the physical pressure, and his True Yuan and bloodline almost started to freeze.


    At this moment, he finally realized how strong the person that they were just about to rob was. Even if Nine Darkness Palace hadn''t sent anyone, they would have been finished off by this youth. At the end of the day, they would have died either way.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze scanned the Quasi-Sacred Lord on the right, and a powerful Eye Intent appeared from within his left eye. A large amount of soul power entered his left eye through the Lightning Soul Body.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Flames appeared from within Zhao Feng''s left eye as purple light spun and flashed with dark God Tribulation Lightning symbols.


    Whoosh! Boom~~~~


    A ball of transparent fire with the Destructive aura of God Tribulation Lightning landed on the Quasi-Sacred Lord''s head.


    "Arghhh¡­!"


    This Quasi-Sacred Lord instantly cried out. At the same time, a black light spread from the black crown on his head and blocked Zhao Feng''s soul attack.


    In the end, the Quasi Sacred Lord struggled for a moment before returning to normal.


    "How is this possible¡­?"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes froze. Even if this Quasi-Sacred Lord had a soul-defending secret treasure, it shouldn''t have been able to stop his Wind Lightning Eye Flame.


    "Hahahaha, give up! This Evil Death Yin Spirit Array was made especially for you!" A Sacred Lord with old white hair laughed nastily as he radiated a spatial undulation.


    "So that''s how it is¡­."


    Zhao Feng looked toward where the Quasi-Sacred Lord was standing and seemed to understand.


    A layer of black-and-red flames was connected to the entire array and surrounded the array flag that the Quasi-Sacred Lord was holding. When Zhao Feng''s soul attack landed on this Quasi-Sacred Lord, the array had taken some of the damage. Adding on the fact that there was a soul-defending secret treasure on his head, the Quasi-Sacred Lord managed to survive.


    Furthermore, the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array contained spatial laws as well, which meant that Zhao Feng''s Misty Spatial World''s space abilities couldn''t be used here.


    As expected, Nine Darkness Palace had planned this ambush out well. They sent three Sacred Lords and were on guard against all of Zhao Feng''s moves.


    "Zhao Feng, die!"


    The four experts at the four corners of the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array circulated the array flags and controlled the ghost mist in the center of the array to attack Zhao Feng with full force.


    "If you hadn''t used the God Slaying Arrow, you might have been able to survive for a while longer you retard!" The male in black armor laughed coldly.


    According to intel from the battlefield and the forces of the Thirteenth Prince, Zhao Feng had used the God Slaying Arrow to defeat Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. It seemed that the reason Zhao Feng had survived till now was mainly because of the God Slaying Arrow.


    "Oh?"


    Zhao Feng started to think. After Zhao Feng killed the Nine Darkness Demonic Lord, Nine Darkness Palace hadn''t sent any Sacred Lords after him, but there were suddenly three Sacred Lords and one Quasi-Sacred Lord now.


    It seemed like they thought that the God Slaying Arrow reproductions that Zhao Feng made were true God Slaying Arrows and that he didn''t have any more.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile. Although he still had two more replicas of the God Slaying Arrow, it would be a waste if he used one on these small fries.


    "Arghhhh¡­!"


    The Evil Death Yin Spirit Array was unleashed at full force, and a few Kings and Emperors not far away from Zhao Feng soon turned into nourishment for the array.


    "Physical Force Lightning Domain!"


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body instantly released a powerful force that made everything within several dozen miles fall under a bombardment of lightning and gravity. The power of ancient lightning had also merged into Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body and countered the ghosts and monsters within the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array to a certain degree.


    Shua! Weng~~ Weng~~


    Zhao Feng immediately condensed his Physical Force Lightning Domain to protect himself with maximum efficiency. After all, Zhao Feng hadn''t completely learned the Physical Force Lightning Domain yet, so its power wasn''t too great.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto the Quasi-Sacred Lord once more.


    "Your Soul eye-bloodline techniques are of no use against me!"


    Although that was what he said, he still circulated his Soul Intent at full power.


    "Hehehe, who said I was going to use Soul eye-bloodline techniques!?"


    A cold smile formed on Zhao Feng''s face, and a weird disturbance of eye-bloodline power covered the area where the Quasi-Sacred Lord was standing.


    Shu~~


    A half-transparent spatial blade glittering with the aura of God Tribulation Lightning sliced through the body of the Quasi-Sacred Lord. At this instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the body of this Quasi-Sacred Lord was cut in two.


    A black Yuan Soul then appeared from within the two halves, but this Yuan Soul was immediately pulled into the array flag and merged with the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array.


    Void Space Eye Slash!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye returned to normal. He hadn''t used the Void Space Eye Slash much ever since he started re-cultivating, so Nine Darkness Palace obviously didn''t know that Zhao Feng had such a move.


    With Zhao Feng''s current strength, almost anyone below a Sacred Lord would be instakilled by his Void Space Eye Slash. However, this move was almost completely useless against Sacred Lords since their Sacred Bodies countered the Void Space Eye Slash. That was why Zhao Feng rarely used this move anymore.


    "This¡­!"


    The expressions of the three Sacred Lords managing the array turned to shock as their hearts went cold.


    "How does he know physical eye-bloodline techniques?"


    The Sacred Lord with white hair was stunned.


    After one of the four people in charge of the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array was killed, the power of the array was reduced dramatically and showed signs of becoming unsteady.


    "Go!"


    A male giving off the aura of a Sacred Lord immediately appeared next to the male with black armor. His appearance was similar to the Sacred Lord in black armor.


    "A cloning secret technique!"


    The elder in white was overjoyed. He didn''t expect the black-armored Sacred Lord to be so strong. He was only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but he had cultivated a cloning secret technique already?


    All they needed to do was let the clone take over the position of the Quasi-Sacred Lord. Furthermore, the clone of this Sacred Lord wouldn''t be scared of Zhao Feng''s spatial eye-bloodline technique.


    Only the black-armored Sacred Lord actually came from Nine Darkness Palace. The other three came from other forces that supported the Thirteenth Prince.


    Zhao Feng''s expression paused as his left eye locked onto the position of the empty array flag.


    Shua!


    A ripple appeared below the array flag.


    Whoosh!


    A streak of dark silver flashed, and the little thieving cat''s figure appeared. It revealed an evil smile as it grabbed hold of the array flag.


    "What!? Zhao Feng''s spiritual pet¡­!" the elder in white exclaimed.


    "Don''t!"


    Fear appeared on the other Sacred Lord''s face.


    Weng~


    A streak of silver entered the array flag, and explosions started to ring across the entire array as a wicked aura spread. The next instant, the little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder while waving around an array flag.


    "Dammit, that cat broke the array!" The elder with white hair gritted his teeth.


    Whoosh! Weng~~ Weng~~


    Zhao Feng also took action while the little thieving cat was using the array flag to destroy the array. He was flying toward the old granny covered with a cold aura.


    Boom! Weng~~~~


    The Physical Force Lightning Domain around Zhao Feng instantly spread and covered the old granny.


    "Both of us go together!" The black-armored Sacred Lord messaged the elder in white.


    Although Zhao Feng''s display on the battlefield was shocking and he had the ability to kill early-stage Mystic Light Realms, they had three Sacred Lords and a Sacred Lord clone right now. If they teamed up, they would definitely be able to suppress Zhao Feng.


    "Sure!" The elder in white immediately agreed.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened as he circulated his Physical Force Lightning Domain at full power to suppress the cold granny and thrust out a palm.


    The cold granny circulated her freezing Sacred Power and summoned an ice lotus.


    Peng! Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s scarlet-golden palm instantly shattered the ice lotus and landed on the old granny''s body.


    Wah!


    The cold granny went flying and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as she looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    "So strong!"


    The other two Sacred Lords paused for a moment and started to hesitate when they saw that.

 1036 Sound of the Qin

    Chapter 1036 - Sound of the Qin


    The cold granny that had been sent flying by Zhao Feng looked at him in disbelief. Only she knew how much damage Zhao Feng''s palm contained.


    Weng~~ Shu~ Shu~


    The Physical Force Lightning Domain around Zhao Feng concentrated on the old granny. She had to bear a great deal of pressure and was unable to run away.


    "The two of you, come help!" the old granny roared. She would be unable to escape if Zhao Feng wanted to kill her first, but if she teamed up with the others, there was still hope.


    "Go!" The other two Sacred Lords exchanged glances and immediately charged over.


    A giant axe covered in darkness appeared in the black-armored Sacred Lord''s hands and slashed out a black arc.


    Weng~~


    This black arc was instantly counterattacked by the power of gravity and lightning within Zhao Feng''s Physical Force Lightning Domain when it entered, and its power started to decrease.


    Peng! Boom!


    Zhao Feng took the attack from this black-armored Sacred Lord head-on and used the propelling force from it to assist his Lightning Wings Flying Technique and approach the old granny.


    Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!


    Zhao Feng tightened his fists and unleashed a giant scarlet-golden mountain of lightning. At the same time, the Physical Force Lightning Domain nearby merged into this punch.


    The Physical Force Lightning Domain was the same as a regular domain and could be merged into attacks. However, it was hard to merge it into the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm, so Zhao Feng chose the Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch instead.


    Wah!


    The old granny spat out a mouthful of fresh blood when the punch arrived. She was unable to bear the pressure.


    "Ice Lotus Protection!" The old granny instantly circulated her Mystic Light Sacred Power, and an ice lotus appeared behind her. Ice lotuses started to appear and cover her.


    Boom! Boom! Crack!


    Within a moment, the old granny''s defensive secret technique was shattered by Zhao Feng, and a terrifying aura crushed over.


    Hu~~


    The old granny''s body was immediately destroyed as the giant metallic punch arrived, and a gray-white Yuan Soul appeared.


    Miao miao!


    A dark silver blur flashed, and the little thieving cat appeared below to collect the fallen interspatial ring.


    "Sky Locking Bow!"


    Zhao Feng pulled the dark silver bowstring and merged his Eye Intent into the array.


    Beng~ Whoosh!


    The next instant, the old granny''s Yuan Soul, which hadn''t run away very far, was shot through by an arrow, and a terrifying flaming purple lightning started destroying her soul. The little thieving cat turned into a streak of dark silver light that sliced through the old granny''s Yuan Soul with a sharp flash.


    Hu!


    The old granny was killed by the combined force of Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat. The black-armored Sacred Lord and the elder in white had only unleashed one attack, and Zhao Feng used his Sacred Lightning Body at full force to block it.


    "Let''s go!"


    The black-armored Sacred Lord instantly put the axe in his hand away, then turned into a dark streak of light that sped into the sky.


    The battle-power that Zhao Feng displayed was far too strong. It wasn''t just his Soul eye-bloodline techniques that were strong; his physical power and his defense were also terrifying. He had no weaknesses at all. If Zhao Feng could take their attacks head-on and still finish off another Sacred Lord while doing so, he probably had methods to kill the other two as well.


    "Run!" The elder in white used a spatial technique and disappeared with a flash.


    "Hmph, none of you will be able to escape!"


    Zhao Feng snickered coldly as a faint wisp of mental energy flashed through his left eye. The Mark of the God Eye had been successfully set!


    Zhao Feng''s soul was even stronger than these two Sacred Lords. They obviously wouldn''t be able to sense anything at all.


    Hu~ Whoosh!


    The Scarlet Wings of Lightning on Zhao Feng''s back radiated a bright light as he flashed through the air after them.


    "So fast! Stop him!" The elder with white hair was slightly faster than the black-armored Sacred Lord, but he still wasn''t able to throw off Zhao Feng.


    "Dammit!" The black-armored Sacred Lord had a dark expression, but there was nothing he could do. If Zhao Feng caught up, he would be the first to die.


    Shua!


    The black-armored Sacred Lord''s clone immediately appeared next to him and circulated its Mystic Light Sacred Power, which contained the power of a Little World, and was prepared to stop Zhao Feng at any moment.


    Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and pierced through the power of the Little World. The strength of the Sacred Lord clone was unable to stop Zhao Feng at all, but a life-and-death danger suddenly started to brew within its body.


    Hu~~ Boom!


    The Sacred Lord clone triggered all its power and exploded.


    "Sacred Lightning Protection!"


    Zhao Feng increased his speed to the maximum and circulated his defensive secret technique at the same time.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng was blasted away by several miles from the explosion of this Sacred Lord clone.


    "I was overconfident!"


    Zhao Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The power of a Sacred Lord clone self-destructing was not to be underestimated. Fortunately, the black-armored Sacred Lord was indecisive and initiated the self-destruction at the wrong time, or else he would have been able to severely injure Zhao Feng and be able to escape.


    Beng~~ Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng pulled the Sky Locking Bow and attacked the black-armored Sacred Lord.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    Zhao Feng immediately used a spatial flying technique after every shot to turn into a bolt of scarlet lightning that flashed through the sky.


    Whoosh!


    The black-armored Sacred Lord was pierced by a scarlet-golden arrow of light and slowed down.


    Weng~~


    The next instant, Zhao Feng''s figure quickly approached.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!"


    Zhao Feng immediately used a killing move against the black-armored Sacred Lord.


    Boom!


    A giant scarlet-golden palm with terrifying force and unstoppable power crushed forward.


    Boom!


    The black-armored Sacred Lord circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power, and a giant black axe appeared in his hand and slashed out.


    "What terrifying force!"


    At this instant, the black-armored Sacred Lord felt a recoiling force that he had never felt before, and a surge of lightning flowed through his weapon and entered his body, making him numb.


    Bam!


    The black scaly armor around the black-armored Sacred Lord instantly shattered, and he left behind a trail of blood as he went flying by several dozen miles.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng quickly approached, and a purple Soul force started to emerge from the bloodline of his left eye.


    "Gaze of the God Eye!"


    A purple whirlpool containing limitless mist and an endless purple abyss appeared within his left eye.


    The black-armored Sacred Lord, who was heavily injured, felt his body turn cold, and his soul start to leave his body. This forbidden power was like the power of a God. One couldn''t go against it at all.


    "What!?"


    Sweat poured down the black-armored Sacred Lord''s back as fear extended throughout his eyes. It was like, no matter how he struggled, he wouldn''t be able to escape the reality of his soul being pulled away.


    Whoosh!


    A dark silver streak flashed, and the little thieving cat held the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger and pierced it through the black-armored Sacred Lord''s heart.


    Hu!


    The black-armored Sacred Lord''s Yuan Soul immediately left his body and was absorbed into the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Once the black-armored Sacred Lord''s soul entered the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye, he wouldn''t be able to self-destruct even if he wanted to, so Zhao Feng wasn''t in a rush to deal with him.


    "There''s still one left!"


    Zhao Feng''s voice was cold. He could sense the location of the other elder through the mark of the God Eye.


    However, the sound of a qin suddenly sounded in Zhao Feng''s heart and calmed his killing intent down.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye turned toward a green forest in the distance.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s sight saw through everything. He saw a simple wooden room in the depths of the forest. In front of the wooden room was a gentle stream, and before the stream was a girl in white playing a qin.


    "It''s her?" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    One year ago, when Zhao Feng had saved the Ninth Prince, an elder in gray had helped him, and this girl in white seemed to be the disciple of that mysterious elder in gray.


    Zhao Feng didn''t know why, but he felt as if he knew this girl in white from somewhere. Was it because he saw her last time?


    Unknowingly, Zhao Feng started to walk toward the forest. The closer he got, the more elegant and peaceful the sound of the qin was. It calmed down Zhao Feng''s state of heart and made him lose all worries and responsibilities.


    "What a profound mastery of the Dao of the Qin!"


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sigh. Zhao Feng had seen many experts in the Dao of Entertainment before, such as Li Xueyi from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace, the geniuses from the Sky Qin Zone, as well as Liu Qinxin.


    However, none of their talents could be compared with this girl in front of him.


    Just like that, Zhao Feng stopped and leaned on a tree while listening peacefully.


    In the instant he closed his eyes, he seemed to enter the World of Music that this girl had created. The entire world danced alongside the beautiful qin sound.


    The little thieving cat stood on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and leaned onto the tree as well, imitating Zhao Feng''s actions and revealing a pleasurable expression.


    "May I know what you think of my qin?" A voice suddenly sounded next to Zhao Feng''s ears.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and glanced toward the stunning beauty. The girl in white had stopped playing, but he was still immersed in the Intent of Music and lost track of time.


    When he woke up, Zhao Feng found that the power and Intent of his soul had increased.


    The girl in white looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she only had the cultivation of a King, but her music could actually strengthen Zhao Feng''s Intent. Zhao Feng couldn''t help but admire her mastery in the Dao of Music even more.


    "I''m sorry for disturbing you. I don''t know anything about music, but your qin playing is the best music I''ve heard in my life."


    Zhao Feng looked at the girl in white and paused for a moment before laughing and speaking.


    "Hehehe, Young Sir is really good at talking!"


    The girl in white faintly smiled and made the surroundings dim with her beauty. She felt an unknown close feeling toward Zhao Feng. This was why she continued to play the qin when Zhao Feng arrived.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. This girl''s clothes and her mastery of the Dao of the Qin made Zhao Feng remember the figure in white from his memories. However, the aura and personality of the two were very different. This girl was sociable and her eyes were pure, as if she was a goddess from another world.


    "I''m Zhao Feng. Your master helped me in the past, and I hope to thank him in person!" Zhao Feng continued.


    "My master isn''t back yet. If you don''t mind, you can wait in this wooden room." The girl in white smiled.


    "That''s good. Maybe I''ll have the chance to hear you play the qin again!" Zhao Feng said.


    This girl''s music could indeed help condense Zhao Feng''s mind and strengthen his Intent. Furthermore, from the fact that the girl in white told Zhao Feng to wait, it meant that the immeasurable elder in gray would return soon.


    "Young Sir Zhao can just call me Liu Qinyin!"


    Liu Qinyin suddenly turned around and revealed a naive smile.

 1037 Samsara of Life

    Chapter 1037 - Samsara of Life


    "Qinyin?"


    Zhao Feng''s expression froze. The little thieving cat suddenly appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and threw a few old bronze coins into the air, but it shook its head after looking at the results.


    "What about it?" Liu Qinyin could feel that Zhao Feng placed a lot of importance on those words.


    "Nothing, I just felt that they suit you perfectly." Zhao Feng smiled and immediately said.


    The little thieving cat had just divined but said that there was no conclusion. If the female in front of them was indeed Liu Qinxin, the little thieving cat should have been able to find out.


    "Woah! Such a cute cat!" Liu Qinyin looked at the little thieving cat with love.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat immediately swallowed the coins then spun around on Zhao Feng''s shoulder before posing after hearing what she said.


    "Hahaha!"


    The little thieving cat''s actions instantly made Liu Qinyin laugh.


    Zhao Feng looked at the joyful Liu Qinyin and got rid of the thought that she was Liu Qinxin.


    "Young Sir Zhao came to the battlefield to obtain war points?"


    Liu Qinyin and Zhao Feng started to talk after entering the wooden room.


    Zhao Feng learned that Liu Qinyin followed her master around ever since a young age and didn''t know much about the outside world.


    Liu Qinyin was also very interested in Zhao Feng and asked him about a few things. Zhao Feng would occasionally tell her some of the weird things that happened in the world as well.


    "Young Sir Zhao has a fianc¨¦e?"


    Liu Qinyin was surprised. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng was only twenty-something years old. One had to know that normal Emperors had a lifespan of close to ten thousand years. Not many people thought about marriage so early.


    "You could say so!" Zhao Feng thought, but he didn''t know quite how to reply.


    There was a marriage agreement between Liu Qinxin and him, but Liu Qinxin had died, and in her "new life," she may have forgotten everything in her previous life. Was she still related to Zhao Feng?


    Liu Qinyin revealed a puzzled look. There was such a thing as "you could say so" for a fianc¨¦e?


    "Actually, I haven''t found her yet!" Zhao Feng explained.


    "Lady Qinyin should have heard about the Eight Great God Eyes, right? The Eye of Samsara has abilities that defy life and death. If I can find the owner of the Eyes of Samsara, I might be able to find her¡­."


    Zhao Feng directed the topic away. He believed that Liu Qinyin should be interested in the Eight Great God Eyes.


    "You need the help of the owner of the Eyes of Samsara?" Liu Qinyin asked in a surprised tone.


    At this moment, an elder in gray started to slowly walk over from the forest.


    Zhao Feng stopped and immediately stood up. He didn''t expect someone to get so close to them while they were speaking without him knowing, but then, this also proved the elder in gray''s strength.


    "Senior, this junior came here by accident. I''m very grateful for you helping us at the array hall that day!" Zhao Feng immediately said.


    After all, this elder was extremely strong, and Zhao Feng had come to his territory. It was best to explain everything.


    "Master, this Young Sir Zhao said that you can help find his fianc¨¦e!" Liu Qinyin immediately walked over and said in a begging tone.


    "What!?" Zhao Feng froze. Lightning seemed to strike down on his mind as he looked at this elder.


    He was sure that Lady Qinyin wouldn''t lie to him. This meant that this elder in gray was indeed the owner of the Eyes of Samsara!


    Zhao Feng had already met him once before, but this elder''s eyes were normal, and he didn''t use any laws of Samsara. It was normal for Zhao Feng not to realize.


    However, while he was happy, Zhao Feng''s expression also suddenly calmed down.


    He hadn''t forgotten about the Emperor of Death! If the owner of the Eyes of Samsara was the one who ordered the Emperor of Death to kill him, then the situation in front of him was extremely bad.


    But if the Eyes of Samsara owner wanted to kill him, why didn''t he do so last time? With his strength, killing Zhao Feng would be extremely easy.


    Zhao Feng instantly became silent, and his Intent entered the Misty Spatial World. If the situation was bad, he would immediately use the God Slaying Arrow!


    The expression of the elder in gray didn''t change as he slowly walked into the wooden room.


    "You know about the abilities of my Eyes of Samsara?" The elder in gray sat on a wooden chair before asking.


    "I''ve seen some at the Ji Family."


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He didn''t expect the elder in gray to ask this question first.


    In reality, Zhao Feng didn''t actually know whether the owner of the Eyes of Samsara would be able to find Liu Qinxin''s location just by reading about the Samsara Death Eye in the Ji Family. However, from the looks of it, the Six Warlock Sage was correct about the abilities of the Eyes of Samsara.


    "The person you''re searching for used a certain method to revive?" the elder in gray continued asking.


    "That''s right."


    Zhao Feng had a normal expression. Although the elder in gray was talking to him emotionlessly and calmly, Zhao Feng was still completely on guard. After all, he wasn''t very sure about the abilities of the Eyes of Samsara. If the elder suddenly attacked him, Zhao Feng would need to use the God Slaying Arrow immediately.


    "The Eyes of Samsara are split into the Samsara of Life and the Samsara of Death. My eye that controls the Samsara of Life can calculate the specific location of a person that obtained new life!"


    The elder in gray didn''t ask any more questions. He simply told Zhao Feng some secrets about his Eye of Samsara, which meant that he was willing to help Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes concentrated, but he didn''t say anything. He had found the owner of the Eyes of Samsara, who proved that he indeed had the ability. However, the owner of the Eyes of Samsara probably wouldn''t agree to help Zhao Feng without any price. After all, Zhao Feng still wasn''t sure if this elder in gray was friend or foe.


    "How long has it been since the death of the person you are trying to find?" the elder in gray asked.


    "About 16 years!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes dimmed. So much time had passed.


    The expression of Liu Qinyin paused for a moment, but she didn''t say anything.


    "Too much time has passed. I can only calculate the location of her new life if her body is well-preserved!" The elder in gray had a nonchalant expression the entire time.


    "This¡­" Zhao Feng paused for a moment. Liu Qinxin''s body had turned to ashes when he entered the 49th floor of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    As expected, there were many limitations to this heaven-defying ability. Even the Eyes of Samsara couldn''t locate a specific person without any help.


    "Thank you for telling me, Senior!"


    Zhao Feng put his hands together and bowed. Even if the Emperor of Death was related to the elder in gray, the elder in gray had told Zhao Feng the secret of the Eyes of Samsara and solved the question in his heart. From now on, Zhao Feng no longer needed to find the owner of the Eyes of Samsara anymore.


    "Little Friend, you must be curious about the issue with the Emperor of Death, right?" The elder in gray suddenly smiled, and Zhao Feng became wary once more.


    "I saw him a thousand years ago and left a Mark of Samsara on him. After reviving him, the Emperor of Death begged me to give him a chance to fulfill his wishes. Seeing that he was also a descendant of one of the God Eyes, I gave him a chance!" the elder in gray said slowly.


    "I didn''t think that Little Friend would be able to defeat the Emperor of Death, who became even stronger after dying. Your eye has potential not weaker than the Eight Great God Eyes!" the elder in gray looked at Zhao Feng''s left eye and said in a certain tone.


    "Thank you for praising me, Senior."


    Zhao Feng gave a faint smile. He felt no ill intent from what the Eyes of Samsara owner said. Instead, the elder in gray was calmly explaining the issue about the Emperor of Death.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng could also sense that the elder in gray was only interested in his left eye.


    "This junior''s wishes are fulfilled then. I have important matters to attend to, so I will be leaving now. If Senior needs anything in the future, this junior will do his best to help!"


    After learning everything, Zhao Feng said goodbye to the elder in gray. He was perfectly willing to form a good bond with the owner of the Eyes of Samsara if he had no ill intent.


    "This old man won''t be sending you off," the elder in gray said.


    "Lady Qinyin, I hope to hear your qin in the future!"


    Zhao Feng looked at Liu Qinyin and said goodbye.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat also waved its paws around.


    "Master, is Young Sir Zhao the person who has a grievance with the Emperor of Death?" Liu Qinyin asked after Zhao Feng left, and the elder in gray nodded his head.


    Liu Qinyin''s eyes suddenly changed as she looked in the direction where Zhao Feng was heading.


    "Master, I feel that something bad is about to happen!"


    Liu Qinyin immediately came to the elder in gray''s side. She had cultivated the Dao of Entertainment and the Dao of Life ever since she was young, and she had a high understanding in both of them. Therefore, she trusted her senses.


    "Don''t worry, I''m here!" The elder in gray revealed a smile with deep meaning.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng sat on the flying flaming chariot and sped through Heaven and Earth.


    Zhao Feng felt an unknown sadness after leaving the residence of Eyes of Samsara owner.


    "Don''t worry about it. I have more important matters!"


    Zhao Feng calmed himself down. After being detained, Zhao Feng realized that the elder with white hair was very far away, and he was heading in the opposite direction from Zhao Feng''s destination.


    "I''ll take your life later then!"


    Zhao Feng had a calm expression as he headed toward the Lan Province War Hall. He didn''t bother with the white-haired elder. After all, if he really wanted to kill him, he wouldn''t be able to escape.


    Zhao Feng finally arrived at the Lan Province War Hall several dozen days later.


    The Lan Province War Hall was a palace made from white jade that gave off an old aura. It was completely different from the War Hall in Ling Province.


    Countless experts and people moved around the borders of the War Hall, but one would need identification documents or the inspection of guards to enter. Zhao Feng didn''t have any identification documents, so he had to enter the War Hall under the surveillance of the guards.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes scanned over the place and saw countless words in gold on a large stone tablet. One of the stone tablets displayed the list of people in the top one thousand with the most war points. The higher one''s name, the brighter the gold.


    "See that? That name suddenly appeared on the top of the first stone tablet a couple days ago!"


    "That Zhao Feng isn''t exactly unknown. Apparently, many forces have recognized his display in the Crown Prince trial."


    "I know that, but did you know that he was originally around 1900th place, but he suddenly jumped up?"


    "I heard that he defeated Sacred Lord Myriad Forms of the non-humans!"


    There was a large crowd around the war board. Many people looked at it and encouraged themselves.


    Others compared themselves with each another, and there were also information agencies here that paid attention to the rankings on the board.


    "Hehe, the Ninth Prince''s estimations were indeed correct!" Zhao Feng smiled and was very satisfied with his ranking.

 1038 Exchanging Resources

    Chapter 1038 - Exchanging Resources


    "Hehe, the Ninth Prince''s estimations were indeed correct!"


    Zhao Feng smiled and looked at the 3rd rank on the first stone tablet.


    Back then, the Ninth Prince estimated that Zhao Feng''s war points would put him in the top ten.


    In the first battle, Zhao Feng''s war points had instantly surpassed almost one million people fighting in Lan Province and entered the top two thousand. This was already enough to create a big discussion.


    In the second battle, Zhao Feng''s accumulated war points entered the top ten. He was ranked 3rd!


    Although the difference in war points amongst the top five thousand on the War Board Rankings wasn''t very big, the difference between every person in the top one hundred was very big. Almost everyone in the top ten were Sacred Lords.


    One had to know that a Sacred Lord would obtain a large amount of war points every month just by guarding the city. Furthermore, the war hadn''t reached a level where both sides would fight at any time. Therefore, the difference in war points between Sacred Lords and everyone else was huge.


    Zhao Feng shocked everyone at once by surpassing Sacred Lords, which obviously raised the attention of many people.


    Zhao Feng gave it a glance before following the guard to the place where they exchanged resources.


    There were many people here exchanging resources. Apart from experts that were exchanging resources, the others were here to manage, distribute, and organize the resources.


    "What''s your name?"


    An elder with white hair asked in front of a table covered with paper.


    "Zhao Feng!" Zhao Feng replied.


    The elder gave Zhao Feng a glance before starting to flip through a thick book, but the elder''s actions suddenly stopped, and he stared at Zhao Feng with bulging eyes. The people exchanging resources and the workers also instantly stopped and looked at Zhao Feng in shock.


    "He''s Zhao Feng whose ranked 3rd on the War Board Rankings?"


    "What did he do on the battlefield to obtain so many war points?"


    "He looks so young! Is it really him?"


    Some of the Kings and Emperors exchanging resources nearby discussed. Although they were curious about Zhao Feng, they were more suspicious about whether the person in front of them was the real Zhao Feng.


    "Please prove your identity!"


    The elder with white hair had a solemn expression. The resources that Zhao Feng could obtain wasn''t a small sum, so this elder didn''t dare to be arrogant. They didn''t know Zhao Feng, so they didn''t exclude the possibility of someone pretending to be Zhao Feng.


    "Prove my identity?" Zhao Feng paused. How would he prove himself?


    Shua!


    A square golden token with a dragon on it appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    The elder took the token in Zhao Feng''s hand and felt it.


    "It''s the Imperial Sky Token of the Crown Prince!" The elder''s hands shook as he handed the token back to Zhao Feng.


    "Please come with me!" the elder got up and said. Zhao Feng then followed this elder and entered the inner hall.


    Zhao Feng was slightly puzzled. Wasn''t it just exchanging resources? Weren''t they overdoing it?


    "The higher ranked one is, the more precious resources one can obtain." the elder explained.


    "With your current ranking, you can obtain resources that can''t be obtained normally, but it will require more war points," the elder explained to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng followed the elder and arrived at a hall where the aura within it was sealed. A golden book suddenly appeared in the elder''s hands.


    Whoosh!


    Several golden beams of light shot out from the golden book and intertwined in the air, forming a large screen. Countless items and the number of war points required to buy them appeared on the screen. The items at the very top required the most war points.


    Zhao Feng gave it a glance. Those at the top were rare treasures or Heaven-grade weapons. Buying any one of them would use up 70% of Zhao Feng''s total war points.


    First place was currently a title of Grand Duke. Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to buy it even if he spent all his war points. Grand Duke was the highest power below the Sacred Emperor, and they were rulers of an entire province.


    "As time passes, one can obtain even more items!" the elder smiled and said as he saw Zhao Feng''s surprised expression.


    "So that''s how it is¡­."


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. The period of war between the two lord dynasties wouldn''t be as short as Zhao Feng imagined. It could reach ten years or even a hundred years.


    Several hundred years was a very short period of time for Emperors and Sacred Lords, and the war points accumulated after several hundred years would be very plentiful.


    Zhao Feng''s desire to obtain more war points became even stronger after seeing the list.


    After a long selection period, Zhao Feng spent all his war points. Most of the resources that he bought were of the Earth element, or they could be used to refine the soul or raise one''s state of existence.


    When one used too many of the same resource, its effect would heavily decrease, so he bought a variety of things.


    The elder reported everything that Zhao Feng wanted. The next day, the elder handed over an interspatial ring; "Zhao Feng, everything you want is in here!"


    Zhao Feng scanned through it with his Divine Sense, then put all of the items into the Misty Spatial World before leaving the Lan Province War Hall.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng sat on the flying flaming chariot and started to head toward his destination. After flying for a while, Zhao Feng stopped, and the map of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty appeared in his mind.


    "I should be able to use the ability of the Misty Spatial World at this distance!"


    Zhao Feng had left many spatial markings on his way to the battlefield.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved the armguard on his arm, and his figure faded away amongst a flash of silver light.


    The next instant, outside a Spiritual Palace:


    Weng~~ Shua!


    A flash of silver appeared, and a golden-haired figure appeared from within a spatial disturbance. Many of the experts and forces cried out as soon as Zhao Feng appeared.


    "A lot of energy is required to use that!"


    Zhao Feng estimated the energy expenditure in correlation with the distance. At the moment, Zhao Feng could pass through two cities, but it was still a bit difficult to jump past a province.


    However, passing through two big cities saved him a couple days'' time.


    Just like that, Zhao Feng used the teleportation arrays within the Spiritual Palaces and the spatial abilities of the Misty Spatial World to quickly head toward his destination.


    On the way, Zhao Feng would recover the expenditure of his True Yuan.


    In the dimension of his left eye, the black-armored Sacred Lord finally bowed to Zhao Feng''s torture and let Zhao Feng plant the Dark Heart Seal in him.


    After being enslaved, the black-armored Sacred Lord told Zhao Feng everything about the ambush.


    "So many forces¡­!"


    Zhao Feng was surprised. The main culprits focusing on Zhao Feng were the Thirteenth Prince himself and Nine Darkness Palace, but almost all of the forces apart from the Duanmu Family that supported the Thirteenth Princes were participating.


    These forces all thought that Zhao Feng used his last God Slaying Arrow, so they purposely clashed against the Ocean Smoke Pavilion so Zhao Feng would have to leave the battlefield, and then they could ambush him half-way.


    The three Sacred Lords and one Quasi-Sacred Lords all came from different forces.


    During this war, each city only had two Sacred Lords at most at any time, so three Sacred Lords ambushing one person was stunning. These four experts also had the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array created by the upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace. Killing early-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords would be extremely easy.


    "I''ll remember this!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression was cold.


    His forces required a lot of resources to expand. If there was the possibility, Zhao Feng didn''t mind going to the enemy forces to steal some resources.


    "With Master''s speed, you should be able to arrive at Lian Province before Nine Darkness Palace takes action!"


    The black-armored Sacred Lord served Zhao Feng with all honesty after being enslaved. He had betrayed Nine Darkness Palace and would be severely punished if Zhao Feng failed. However, after accompanying Zhao Feng on his journey for a while, the black-armored Sacred Lord had witnessed Zhao Feng''s skills and hidden cards, so he was confident.


    "That''s true."


    Zhao Feng nodded his head and headed toward Lian Province at even faster speed.


    After failing to kill Zhao Feng, the elder with white hair wouldn''t be as fast as Zhao Feng even if he returned at his fastest speed.


    Lian Province was the furthest province that the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was expanding into, but they were stopped by the forces that supported the Thirteenth Prince.


    ¡­


    In a branch of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion that was located in Lian Province, several dozen experts that cultivated the Dao of Ghosts were surrounding the building.


    "If this branch of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion doesn''t give me an answer today, then Dark Sky Gate won''t be respectful anymore!" The tone of a skinny middle-aged male was cold.


    The upper echelon was gathered within the branch.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Ghost, Dark Sky Gate already knows the truth. What else do you want us to say?"


    The ruler of this branch was an elder in green who spoke in a helpless tone.


    Lian Province was too far away from the ocean. Bi Qingyue and Old Monster Xu would need a couple months to arrive.


    However, even if they did arrive, they wouldn''t be very useful. Dark Sky Gate was one of the big forces under Nine Darkness Palace, and they specialized in gathering intel. Putting aside Sacred Lord Dark Ghost''s own strength, the main issue was Nine Darkness Palace behind him. If the Ocean Smoke Pavilion acted in a rush, Nine Darkness Palace might interfere directly.


    "Hahaha, members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion stealing information from Dark Sky Gate and killing core members of Dark Sky Gate is reality!"


    Sacred Lord Dark Ghost had a nasty expression.


    "Grand Elder, when do we take action?" an elder next to Sacred Lord Dark Ghost asked impatiently.


    They were doing this to force Zhao Feng away from the battlefield so they could ambush him half-way. Once Zhao Feng died, his forces would all bow to Nine Darkness Palace.


    "News hasn''t arrived from the top!" Sacred Lord Dark Ghost messaged.


    The situation would become horrible if they finished off the Ocean Smoke Pavilion without Zhao Feng being dead. From Sacred Lord Dark Ghost''s point of view, Zhao Feng was certainly dead, but Nine Darkness Palace would only let them attack once they confirmed that Zhao Feng was dead.


    "But we can still play with them!"


    Sacred Lord Dark Ghost''s eyes were arrogant as he spread his Sacred Lord Power and eroded the area below. A world of darkness and dark green flames started to fill the sky within several thousand miles.


    Countless disciples within the branch were silent, and they felt their bloodlines and True Yuan freeze. None of them could even speak.

 1039 Forceful

    Chapter 1039 - Forceful


    A world of darkness and dark green flames started to fill the sky within several thousand miles.


    Countless disciples within the branch were silent, and they felt their bloodlines and True Yuan freeze. None of them could even speak.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Ghost has taken action!"


    The green-robed elder within the hall trembled as shock filled his eyes.


    The green-robed elder felt strange. The Ocean Smoke Pavilion was a force that supported the Crown Prince, and their Grand Elder Zhao Feng was extremely trusted by the Crown Prince. Was Sacred Lord Dark Ghost not scared of Zhao Feng or the Crown Prince questioning him? Even Nine Darkness Palace had to give the imperials some face.


    "Elder, some of the members can''t fight back against this Sacred Lord Power anymore!" a middle-aged male in black said. Although Sacred Lord Dark Ghost had only displayed part of his Sacred Lord-level Magnificent Power, most of the members within the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were only at the True Spirit Realm or Small Origin Core Realm.


    "Sacred Lord Dark Ghost, how dare you harm the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion!?" the elder in green robes roared, and the several dozen upper echelon members of Dark Sky Gate in the sky roared with laughter.


    "Hahaha, if the Ocean Smoke Pavilion can harm the core members of Dark Sky Gate, why can''t I harm the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion?"


    Playfulness appeared on Sacred Lord Dark Ghost''s face.


    Boom!


    The Sacred Lord-level Magnificent Power covering the hall suddenly strengthened.


    "Who is it?"


    As if sensing something, Sacred Lord Dark Ghost immediately turned around.


    Hu~ Whoosh!


    A bolt of scarlet lightning flashed toward him. A terrifying physical force appeared when the lightning got close, causing the several dozen upper echelon members of Dark Sky Gate to cough out blood and forcing them to retreat.


    "Dark Flower Ghost Flame!"


    Sacred Lord Dark Ghost instantly attacked when he felt how strong the opponent was. Countless dark green ghost flames started to rise around him, forming a large ghastly ghost flower that floated forward with terrifying wicked force.


    "Fuck off!"


    Zhao Feng''s speed remained the same. He circulated his Wind Lightning True Yuan while condensing his Sacred Lightning Body power into his palm, and he unleashed a large scarlet-golden palm phantom.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Against the combination of the Sacred Lightning Body and the lightning True Yuan, the dark green flower was instantly shattered.


    Peng! Boom!


    The remaining force from Zhao Feng''s palm sent Sacred Lord Dark Ghost flying for several miles.


    The members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion in the hall below could see what was happening in the outside world very clearly.


    "That''s the Grand Elder!"


    The elder in green robes was silent for a moment before revealing an overjoyed expression. According to what he knew, Zhao Feng should be at the front lines fighting against the non-humans with the Ninth Prince. Even if he knew there was an argument against Dark Sky Gate, he shouldn''t have been to arrive so quickly.


    "You''re Zhao Feng!?"


    Sacred Lord Dark Ghost spat out a mouthful of blood as he looked at Zhao Feng in shock. How was this possible? Why was Zhao Feng here? Waves surged through Sacred Lord Dark Ghost''s heart.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly as he radiated his powerful physical force.


    The members of Dark Sky Gate around Zhao Feng instantly felt a strong pressure. It was like an entire mountain was on top of them; they found it hard to breathe, and they were unable to move.


    "What? Is it such a surprise to see me?" Zhao Feng laughed coldly.


    "No, I just heard that you were fighting at the front lines. I didn''t expect to see you here!"


    Sacred Lord Dark Ghost almost revealed himself and felt guilty.


    However, even if Zhao Feng knew about the situation, how could he arrive so quickly? Furthermore, the Thirteenth Prince had scheduled an ambush. Did it fail? According to what he knew, three Sacred Lords had been sent out for the ambush!


    The questions in Sacred Lord Dark Ghost''s heart made him feel cold.


    "If Dark Sky Gate doesn''t give an explanation for harming the disciples of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, then you don''t need to return!"


    Zhao Feng''s physical pressure and Magnificent Power suppressed the several dozen members of Dark Sky Gate as he looked coldly at Sacred Lord Dark Ghost.


    "Zhao Feng, this is what happened; a while ago, a member of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion clashed with someone from Dark Sky Gate and killed a Core disciple of Dark Sky Gate¡­." Sacred Lord Dark Ghost said slowly in a negotiating tone.


    Of course, the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion that killed the Core disciple of Dark Sky Gate had already been killed by Dark Sky Gate long ago, so there was no one to prove it.


    "Since you''re back now, I believe you will give Dark Sky Gate an explanation!" Sacred Lord Dark Ghost said in a confident tone, as if he believed in Zhao Feng.


    The battle-power that Zhao Feng displayed made Sacred Lord Dark Ghost extremely wary. He would have no advantage fighting against Zhao Feng here. He believed that Nine Darkness Palace would not let go of Zhao Feng if he could get away and report this.


    "Grand Elder, Dark Sky Gate made all of this up. Nothing like that happened!" the green-robed elder flew out from the building below and said respectfully.


    "I heard about it from an elder of Dark Sky Gate. The truth might be a little bit different from what I just said." Sacred Lord Dark Ghost continued to lie without any evidence.


    "If it might not even be the truth, are you saying you came here to attack the Ocean Smoke Pavilion members without any evidence?" Zhao Feng questioned angrily.


    "Zhao Feng, what do you want to do then?" Sacred Lord Dark Ghost had a solemn expression. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be so forceful. Did he not know Dark Sky Gate was a subordinate force of Nine Darkness Palace?


    "Hmph!"


    Zhao Feng fully circulated his Sacred Lightning Body, and a desolate pressure radiated from him. Blood started to drip from the mouths of more than a dozen members of Dark Sky Gate who were covered by Zhao Feng''s pressure, and the sound of bones cracking came from their bodies.


    "How dare you!?" Sacred Lord Dark Ghost roared. He had lowered his head to Zhao Feng, but the latter didn''t give him any face at all and even used his subordinates to threaten him.


    These people were from the middle-to-high echelons of Dark Sky Gate. Such losses would be enough to make Dark Sky Gate fall for a thousand years.


    "You really don''t have a good memory."


    Zhao Feng''s expression darkened as he circulated his Fire of Wind Lightning and condensed it onto his palm.


    Boom! Weng~~ Weng~~


    A large scarlet-golden palm of lightning pushed forward. Sacred Lord Dark Ghost''s expression changed dramatically; the power contained within this palm was even stronger than the last.


    Whoosh!


    A black shield with ghost faces on it appeared before Sacred Lord Dark Ghost.


    Weng~~


    Black light radiated from the black shield, and a snarling face formed.


    Boom!


    The black ghost face clashed against Zhao Feng''s scarlet-golden palm of lightning.


    "What power¡­!" Sacred Lord Dark Ghost felt a terrifying force, and his hands started to tremble. The snarling ghost face on the black shield also started to dim.


    Boom!


    The snarling ghost face instantly shattered, and Sacred Lord Dark Ghost was sent flying once more as scorch marks covered his body.


    "Zhao Feng, are you really going to be so forceful and not talk things out with reason?" Sacred Lord Dark Ghost crawled up and said fiercely.


    "Do you even know anything about reason?"


    Zhao Feng charged over as he circulated his physical force and his power of Wind Lightning.


    Fear appeared in Sacred Lord Dark Ghost''s heart as he looked at the forceful Zhao Feng. In just two short exchanges, Sacred Lord Dark Ghost knew that he wouldn''t be Zhao Feng''s match.


    "Zhao Feng, Dark Sky Gate is at fault. We are willing to pay the Ocean Smoke Pavilion for any losses!" Sacred Lord Dark Ghost immediately said. Facing the powerful Zhao Feng, Sacred Lord Dark Ghost could only use this method.


    Hmph, you will regret this, Zhao Feng! Sacred Lord Dark Ghost gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart.


    "Then pay me with Primal Crystal Stones. And since you said that the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion went to steal information from Dark Sky Gate, then let this elder from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion go visit the Dark Sky Gate''s intel headquarters!"


    Zhao Feng''s tone was very dominant as he gave his demands. He didn''t give Sacred Lord Dark Ghost any chance to retort.


    "Fine¡­." Sacred Lord Dark Ghost was speechless and only agreed after gritting his teeth for a long time.


    "Thank you, Grand Elder!"


    The green-robed elder bowed. Letting someone like him, who specialized in gathering intel, enter the intel headquarters of Dark Sky Gate would allow them to gather a lot of secrets and information.


    The green-robed elder then followed Sacred Lord Dark Ghost and headed toward Dark Sky Gate.


    Zhao Feng chose to stay in this branch of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion within Lian Province for a short while because he knew that Nine Darkness Palace would take action.


    Several precious resources with the elements of Fire, Wind, and Lightning appeared in Zhao Feng''s hands within the Misty Spatial World. These elements then merged into Zhao Feng''s Crystal Core dimension.


    Any Quasi-Sacred Lord had the ability to try to break through to the Mystic Light Realm. Zhao Feng''s True Yuan dimension and state of existence had already met the basic requirements to become a Sacred Lord, but his comprehension was still a little bit off. However, if Zhao Feng''s two other aspects were high enough, then Zhao Feng could ignore the difference in comprehension and just use the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey to break through.


    While Zhao Feng cultivated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, he also studied eye-bloodline techniques, soul theories, and how to absorb and comprehend the power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    "Less than 10% of the God Tribulation Lightning remains in the Demigod head."


    Zhao Feng sighed. The power of God Tribulation Lightning was his killing move, and it had helped him through many dangers.


    The green-robed elder returned joyfully after several days.


    "What did you obtain?" Zhao Feng asked after coming out of seclusion.


    Dark Sky Gate was an intel agency for Nine Darkness Palace. Even if the members wanted to hide some secrets, the green-robed elder should have found out a lot of important information since there wasn''t enough time for them to hide everything.


    "Nine Darkness Palace has many more hidden strongholds. I also found out a little bit about their actions¡­."


    The green-robed elder didn''t disappoint Zhao Feng. He had obtained a large amount of information.


    "Furthermore, Nine Darkness Palace sent two early-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords to the Cang Ocean more than a year ago!" the green-robed elder continued.


    One had to know that the Thirteenth Prince only sent three initial-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords to kill Zhao Feng. Who knew why Nine Darkness Palace sent out these two Sacred Lords?


    "The Cang Ocean¡­."


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    "They probably found out about Nan Gongsheng''s background. Nine Darkness Palace is bent on having the power of the Evil God¡­." the voice of the black-armored Sacred Lord sounded from within the Misty Spatial World.


    "Not good, the True Martial Sacred Land!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically.


    ¡­


    In the Cang Ocean, near the True Martial Island Zone, two cold figures in black floated above the limitless ocean!


    "So, this is the True Martial Island Zone!"


    A male with red hair and black robes spread his Divine Sense with a cold gaze.


    "I didn''t expect such a low-ranked place would produce a genius such as Nan Gongsheng!"


    The other was a cold female in a black dress, and she spoke in an emotionless tone.


    "If it wasn''t for the fact that that brat Zhao Feng''s Ocean Smoke Pavilion has taken over the ocean area, the forces of Nine Darkness Palace would be able to expand into this place¡­."

 1040 Arriving at the True Martial Sacred Land

    Chapter 1040 - Arriving at the True Martial Sacred Land


    Within an elegant hall on the main spiritual peak of the True Martial Sacred Land, a wicked male with purple-and-blood-colored hair was covered in a ball of silver.


    "Nan Gongsheng, you have now completely consolidated your foundation and can continue to absorb the power of the Evil God!"


    The excited voice of the Evil God Mental Thought Body sounded from Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    Although Nan Gongsheng was still at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm, his cultivation would soon rapidly increase and reach the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm if he continued to absorb the power of the Evil God.


    "I wonder how strong Zhao Feng has become!"


    Nan Gongsheng opened his blood-colored eyes and looked into the distance.


    "That brat won''t be your match even if he becomes a Sacred Lord!" the Evil God Mental Thought Body''s dissatisfied voice sounded. Nan Gongsheng had the power of an Evil God, but he still thought of a normal human as his opponent. This made the Evil God Mental Thought Body extremely disdainful.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Thunderous booms sounded from the outside world as a terrifying surge of demonic power filled the air, and two figures in black entered the middle of the Sacred Land.


    All of the experts on the two main Spiritual Peaks and thirty-three side spiritual peaks within the True Martial Sacred Land were shocked, and many powerful Divine Senses started to appear.


    "Who dares to enter the center of the Sacred Land!?"


    An ancient Emperor from the Mystic True Sacred Clan immediately roared, and an elder with white hair and a powerful Emperor-level Magnificent Power rose into the air. A female in black robes also flew out from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan with a flash of black light.


    "This is¡­!?"


    The ancient Emperor from the Mystic True Sacred Clan shook as he looked at the two figures in black floating in the air. He felt like he was an ant against these two supreme figures. Any random thought from either of the them could kill him instantly.


    The elder from the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan also stopped moving. She realized that she could only reach the area beneath the two figures.


    "May I know where Seniors come from and why you have come to the True Martial Sacred Land?" The ancient Emperor from the Mystic True Sacred Clan instantly spoke respectfully.


    Being a peak Emperor of the clan, he could feel how terrifying these two people were. They could only be Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords that reigned supreme. Even the Grand Elder of the clan didn''t have such pressure.


    "Nine Darkness Palace is here to capture Nan Gongsheng!" the demon-like middle-aged male with red hair and black robes said coldly.


    When the words ''Nine Darkness Palace'' were said, all of the Kings and Emperors, including the ancient Emperors that were usually in seclusion, were stunned. They all revealed frightful expressions.


    At this instant, all the experts within the True Martial Sacred Clan appeared in the air and bowed with respectful expressions. Nine Darkness Palace was a legendary force within the continent zone, and it was once a four-star power at its peak.


    Nine Darkness Palace was a forbidden name amongst two-star and even three-star forces in the Cang Ocean. They never expected to personally see a Sacred Lord of the Demonic Dao.


    "Nine Darkness Palace!"


    A Quasi-Sacred Lord with wrinkled skin and dark yellow dots over his face immediately opened his eyes. He was currently within a divine realm in the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    "A clan from a continent zone!" An elder with silver hair was currently burning with demonic flames beneath the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, and he immediately stood up.


    "Nan Gongsheng!" Emperor Mi Kong from the Mystic True Sacred Clan started to panic. Emperor Mi Kong was Nan Gongsheng''s master from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    "I didn''t expect Nine Darkness Palace to be able to pursue me all the way here!"


    A wicked purple-and-blood-colored figure immediately charged out from the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    "Nan Gongsheng, he¡­!?" Emperor Mi Kong looked at the purple-and-blood-colored figure charging into the sky with shock.


    "Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord!" an ancient Emperor from the Mystic True Sacred Clan exclaimed.


    Only Sacred Lords could ignore the pressure from these two Sacred Lords of Nine Darkness Palace. All the Elders of the Mystic True Sacred Clan had felt something different with Nan Gongsheng after he returned, but apart from the Grand Elder who never exited seclusion, no one else was able to see through his cultivation. They only felt that Nan Gongsheng was very strong and unfathomable.


    No one thought that Nan Gongsheng had become a Sacred Lord yet. Never had there been such a young Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord in the history of the Cang Ocean.


    All the Kings and Emperors of the Mystic True Sacred Clan were stunned and joyful, but their bodies went cold and their hearts fell when they remembered the two figures that were like gods in the air.


    "How is this possible? Nan Gongsheng¡­?"


    The number one genius of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan, Meng Xi, looked at the completely different Nan Gongsheng and was unable to calm down from her shock for a very long time.


    She never expected Nan Gongsheng to have become a Sacred Lord after returning from the continent zone. At this moment, Meng Xi wouldn''t be able to catch up even after several hundred or even a thousand years.


    Furthermore, from Nan Gongsheng''s words, it seemed like Nine Darkness Palace had been chasing after him until he returned to the True Martial Sacred Land. Meng Xi couldn''t imagine how strong Nan Gongsheng was for him to live through the pursuit of the peak Demonic Dao force of the Continent zone.


    No wonder a single glance from Nan Gongsheng after he returned could make her lose all will to fight.


    "Nan Gongsheng!"


    The expressions of the two Sacred Lords from Nine Darkness Palace changed as they looked at Nan Gongsheng. Their expressions started to become solemn.


    Nan Gongsheng had managed to survive through many pursuits from Nine Darkness Palace, and he had even severely injured Sacred Lord Dark Lotus. This time, the two of them had come a long way to get here. They were not allowed to fail.


    Nan Gongsheng had a grim expression. He wasn''t very confident fighting against two early-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords simultaneously.


    "I wonder what Nan Gongsheng did for Elders of Nine Darkness Palace to personally come here to the True Martial Sacred Land?" an elder with wrinkled skin and dots on his face slowly floated out from the forbidden grounds of the Mystic True Sacred Clan and asked in a respectful tone.


    Being a Sacred Lord, he could feel how terrifying the two upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace were.


    "Grand Elder!"


    All of the upper echelon members and disciples of the Mystic True Sacred Clan bowed. A black-clad elder with silver hair appeared outside the great hall of the other main spiritual peak and watched everything quietly.


    "Nan Gongsheng slaughtered all the elites from Nine Darkness Palace in the Divine Illusion Dimension. Such a wicked and evil person must be punished by Nine Darkness Palace!" the middle-aged male with red hair and black robes said.


    He obviously wouldn''t tell them about Nan Gongsheng killing Emperors from Nine Darkness Palace and severely injuring a Sacred Lord.


    "Nan Gongsheng, if you know what''s good for you, then come with us, or else the True Martial Sacred Land shall bear the limitless flames of anger from Nine Darkness Palace," the cold female in black said.


    "What!?"


    The thirty-three two-star powers within the True Martial Sacred Land were instantly filled with fear and panic. In their eyes, putting aside a peak three-star Demonic Dao force from the continent zone, even normal three-star forces were monsters. However, they weren''t allowed to decide anything.


    Panic appeared on Sacred Lord Thousand Darkness'' face. From his point of view, the two Sacred Lords in the sky alone were able to destroy the entire True Martial Sacred Land. Furthermore, Nan Gongsheng wasn''t a disciple of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan. He didn''t exactly want such a young Sacred Lord to appear in the Mystic True Sacred Clan to begin with.


    "Seniors, there must be some sort of misunderstanding. How could a disciple of my clan kill geniuses of Nine Darkness Palace!?" Sacred Lord Xuan Ming from the Mystic True Sacred Clan said. Even if Nan Gongsheng had signs of training the Demonic Dao, he would try to protect Nan Gongsheng as much as he could because Nan Gongsheng was the youngest Sacred Lord in the history of the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    Nan Gongsheng looked at Sacred Lord Xuan Ming with a rare sign of gratitude. After all, he had cultivated in this place ever since he was young. The True Martial Island Zone was his home, and his parents were here too.


    "Hmph, are you questioning Nine Darkness Palace!?" The cold female wearing the black dress roared and released a terrifying power that made countless beings beneath them unable to breathe.


    "I don''t dare to do so. I just hope that Nine Darkness Palace will give me a chance. The Mystic True Sacred Clan is willing to pay any price!" Sacred Lord Xuan Ming had a grim expression as he continued to speak.


    At the same time, he messaged the Grand Elder of the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan and begged him to help.


    "The True Martial Sacred Clan is willing to pay any price for Nan Gongsheng offending Nine Darkness Palace!" Sacred Lord Thousand Darkness finally spoke after the Grand Elder of the Mystic True Sacred Clan promised him plentiful rewards.


    "Hahahaha! Ants from the Cang Ocean dare to ignore Nine Darkness Palace?"


    The Demonic Dao Sacred Lord with red hair and black robes became angry anger as he roared with laughter.


    "Nan Gongsheng, I will destroy the Mystic True Sacred Clan today, capture you, and take you back to Nine Darkness Palace!" The cold female wearing the black dress squinted her eyes, and a supreme aura of the Demonic Dao appeared in Heaven and Earth and crushed downward as if the sky was falling.


    "Not good!"


    The two Grand Elders of the Mystic True Sacred Clan and Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan as well as Nan Gongsheng circulated their Sacred Power to resist this terrifying pressure.


    "So strong! Their strength has almost reached the level of a late-stage Mystic Light Realm!" Sacred Lord Thousand Darkness said in shock. Sacred Lords from the Cang Ocean were not on the same level as Sacred Lords from the continent zone.


    All of the experts from the thirty-three side spiritual peaks had already returned to their forces.


    "Old Xuan, if you don''t invite him quickly, I''m backing out!" Sacred Lord Thousand Darkness messaged.


    Just fighting against the aura of two early-stage Demonic Dao Sacred Lords was extremely tough. Furthermore, behind these two Sacred Lords was still Nine Darkness Palace!


    "Grand Elder, I''ll be leaving¡­." Nan Gongsheng''s voice sounded within Sacred Lord Xuan Ming''s mind.


    Nan Gongsheng didn''t want the entire True Martial Sacred Land to be destroyed just because of him. After all, he grew up here, and there were many seniors that took care of him here. Even though his personality had changed, he wouldn''t forget all of that!


    If he didn''t care about the price needed, Nan Gongsheng could still manage to escape from these two early-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    "Nan Gongsheng, wait!"


    Decisiveness appeared on the wrinkled elder''s face. An ancient white token appeared in his hand, and he put his consciousness into it.


    At the very center of the three main Spiritual Peaks was the Ten Thousand Ancient Sacred Peak. Limitless power shook space, and the outlines of a glorious garden started to appear. At the very center of the garden was a rusty green-and-bronze door. On two sides stood legendary Qilin beasts.


    "Eh? A secret dimension?"


    "I didn''t think there''d be such a high-ranked secret dimension in a place like this!"


    The two upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace revealed stunned expressions. However, they didn''t understand what the Sacred Lord of the Mystic True Sacred Clan was planning to do after opening this secret dimension.


    "Get the fuck out of here!" A forceful voice boomed from behind the green-and-bronze door.


    Whoosh!


    A giant golden figure appeared and radiated limitless power.

 1041 Scouting Further

    Chapter 1041 - Scouting Further


    "There''s a Sacred Lord hidden within that secret dimension!" the male with red hair and black robes exclaimed.


    "The strength of that Sacred Lord is not simple!" the cold female in the black dress said in a low tone. She didn''t think that such a powerful Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord would be hidden in the Cang Ocean. Even though her strength was close to the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, she still felt a strong pressure from this golden figure.


    When the golden light faded away, a handsome youth with short hair, a tall body, and many flashing golden markings appeared.


    "May I know who you are?" the female from Nine Darkness Palace asked. This Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord looked to be extremely young, but he was even stronger than Nan Gongsheng, who had the power of an Evil God.


    "Senior Kun Yun, please help resolve the danger to the True Martial Sacred Land!" Sacred Lord Xuan Ming said respectfully.


    Back when Kun Yun returned to the True Martial Sacred Land, he was unable to enter the Demigod Forgotten Garden and had to make an agreement with the two three-star powers of the True Martial Sacred Land.


    The experts of the True Martial Sacred Land worked together to open the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Demigod Kun Yun wasn''t to trouble the True Martial Sacred Land in the future, and he would owe them a favor in the future.


    Nan Gongsheng was slightly stunned. He didn''t expect Demigod Kun Yun to appear at this moment and help the True Martial Sacred Land.


    "Demigod Kun Yun!"


    The two Elders from Nine Darkness Palace were stunned.


    There was a limited number of Demigod experts, and they knew all of them. Demigod Kun Yun wasn''t just strong in the past; his fame had even travelled to three-star and four-star powers.


    However, neither of them believed that this youth would be Demigod Kun Yun. Firstly, Demigod Kun Yun had died to the God Tribulation Lightning, but even if he didn''t die, he shouldn''t be just a late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord after so many years.


    However, even if they didn''t believe that the male in front of them was Demigod Kun Yun, the True Martial Sacred Land now had four people with the battle-power of Sacred Lords. Nan Gongsheng''s battle-power had most likely reached the early-stage Mystic Light Realm as well.


    "How dare you go against the orders of Nine Darkness Palace!?" the red-haired black-robed male roared.


    If they really started to fight, they would be the ones to lose. After all, this was the True Martial Sacred Land. There were also some powerful Quasi-Sacred Lords, and the three-star powers most likely had a few hidden cards as well.


    "Hmph, we shall go back today, and Nine Darkness Palace will simply send out even stronger people to destroy this place!" The cold female in the black dress threatened.


    These two had come such a long way. If they ended in failure now, they would become the laughing stock of Nine Darkness Palace''s upper echelon.


    Hearing what the two Sacred Lords from Nine Darkness Palace said, the experts within the True Martial Sacred Land were extremely scared, and the Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan showed signs of backing away.


    After all, Demigod Kun Yun only owed them a single favor and wouldn''t help them next time.


    "Nine Darkness Palace has now dropped to a three-star power and still dares to be this arrogant!?" Kun Yun mocked coldly.


    "How dare you mock Nine Darkness Palace!" The expression of the cold female in the black dress became ugly. Although they weren''t a match, they couldn''t allow the opponent to humiliate Nine Darkness Palace.


    "Hmph. Did you two not hear me tell you to fuck off a moment ago!?"


    Flashing golden light instantly appeared around Kun Yun''s skin, and mysterious golden talismans floated around the air. At the same time, a brilliant golden divine light radiating a desolate power appeared in his hand.


    The instant this golden divine light appeared, space itself started to tremble, and the two Sacred Lord-level Magnificent Powers were washed away. It was as if this golden light was the sole existence in Heaven and Earth right now.


    "This¡­ this is Divine Power!" The cold female in the black dress trembled as her face became pale-white.


    "This power¡­!" The red-haired male was stunned as well.


    This wasn''t their first time seeing Divine Power, so they knew how this power reigned supreme.


    "Senior Kun Yun, this junior did everything on accident!"


    "Senior, this junior will immediately leave!"


    The two upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace bowed and ran away.


    "Thank you for helping, Senior Kun Yun!"


    Sacred Lord Xuan Ming bowed respectfully.


    "Hmm? This aura¡­?" Kun Yun''s gaze suddenly locked onto Nan Gongsheng.


    "Not good!" Sacred Lord Xuan Ming''s heart dropped. Being a Sacred Lord, he could feel that the power coming from Nan Gongsheng was even more profound; it had actually surpassed the level of Sacred Lords.


    At this moment, the power coming from Nan Gongsheng''s body seemed to have caught the attention of Kun Yun.


    "Did you come back from the continent zone?"


    Kun Yun concealed his aura and approached Nan Gongsheng.


    The closer he got, the more shocked Kun Yun was. He could feel that the aura of Divine Power radiating from Nan Gongsheng''s body was even stronger than the Divine Power he controlled in his previous life. This meant that Nan Gongsheng had most likely obtained a complete Divine Power inheritance.


    However, this Divine Power was completely different from Demigod Kun Yun''s Divine Power. Besides, Kun Yun only lacked resources; as long as he had enough, he could recover to his peak strength, so he didn''t need the power of the Evil God from Nan Gongsheng.


    "Watch out. This person can already use a faint wisp of Divine Power!" the voice of the Evil God Mental Thought Body sounded in Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    "Have you heard of someone named Zhao Feng in the continent zone?" Kun Yun asked directly, and Sacred Lord Xuan Ming let out a breath. From the looks of it, Kun Yun was only interested in Zhao Feng, who was also a disciple of the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    He never would have thought that the Mystic True Sacred Clan would have two such prodigies at once.


    "I was with him in the Divine Illusion Dimension!" Nan Gongsheng said.


    "Do you know what his cultivation currently is?" Kun Yun immediately asked. Although his recovery speed was extremely fast, Kun Yun was still slightly scared of the person that had once enslaved him.


    "Back then, he wasn''t even a King yet!" Nan Gongsheng said.


    "Ridiculous! How is that possible!?" Kun Yun became angry because he thought that Nan Gongsheng was playing around with him.


    Nan Gongsheng then told the story about Zhao Feng having to re-cultivate. After all, almost no one from the Cang Ocean knew about this.


    "That means he''s just an Emperor at most right now!" Kun Yun''s eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.


    At the very end, Zhao Feng had been tricked by the Emperor of Death. If Zhao Feng was only an Emperor right now, then Kun Yun could play around with him.


    Kun Yun''s cultivation had reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and he had awakened the memories of his previous life. He had more methods and hidden cards now. His true strength was immeasurable!


    Whoosh!


    Kun Yun immediately charged back into the Demigod Forgotten Garden with an excited expression, as if he was preparing for something.


    "Grand Elder, I will also be leaving this place soon," Nan Gongsheng looked at Sacred Lord Xuan Ming and said.


    Sacred Lord Xuan Ming sighed. He had expected this. With Nan Gongsheng''s talent and the fortune that he had met in the Divine Illusion Dimension, he would probably be able to become a God within several thousand years. The True Martial Sacred Land obviously couldn''t keep him here.


    "I want to surpass him!"


    Nan Gongsheng''s eyes focused as an invisible wicked power spread.


    ¡­


    Elsewhere, in the branch of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion in Lian Province¡­


    Zhao Feng was also a member of the Mystic True Sacred Clan once. It was because of the Mystic True Sacred Clan that he was able to evade the Emperor of Death and obtain fortune from the Demigod Forgotten Garden. Thus, he was very worried about the Mystic True Sacred Clan. However, even if he headed over right now, he would need more than half a year, and everything obviously would have ended by then, so Zhao Feng could only use this time to increase his strength.


    Increasing his own strength was the only way to make sure he was safe!


    Zhao Feng focused his eyes and took out several precious resources, then absorbed the elemental power within them to cultivate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    Zhao Feng hadn''t really become much stronger after breaking through from a King to an Emperor. After becoming a Quasi-Sacred Lord, only his physical power had increased.


    However, if he became a true Sacred Lord, Zhao Feng''s strength would increase by leaps and bounds. Only Sacred Lords had the ability to fight against an entire force such as Nine Darkness Palace.


    "I wonder what Demigod Kun Yun is like now¡­."


    Zhao Feng was slightly worried. As his former master, he knew Demigod Kun Yun''s progress well, and the latter would definitely come trouble him in the future.


    All in all, Zhao Feng needed to become a Sacred Lord as soon as possible to make sure that he could keep himself safe. There was also Zhao Yufei''s marriage arrangement and Liu Qinxin''s location to deal with¡­.


    However, breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm wasn''t easy, and Zhao Feng hadn''t met the requirements yet.


    "It''s time to enter the Ancient Dream Realm," Zhao Feng murmured gently.


    He had been focusing on recovering his strength ever since re-cultivating. He hadn''t explored the Ancient Dream Realm for a long time. With Zhao Feng''s current strength, he should be able to walk even further in the Ancient Dream Realm and perhaps find a way to break through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    Zhao Feng arrived in the Ancient Dream Realm the next instant. The Yao bird, the giant python, and the black eagle that Zhao Feng had enslaved were resting within the forest. Under Zhao Feng''s commands, the two birds scouted throughout the sky while Zhao Feng and the giant python sped through the forest.


    There were some beasts and normal animals on the way that were easily finished off by Zhao Feng. He also saw some trees with fruits on them; Zhao Feng put all of them into the Misty Spatial World. Although he didn''t need them anymore, they were extremely attractive to Origin Core Realms and Kings. Zhao Feng could use them to create a batch of experts or expand his forces.


    "We''ve arrived at the depths of this forest," Zhao Feng said in a light tone.


    Di! Da!


    Zhao Feng suddenly heard the flow of a gentle stream and couldn''t help but increase his pace.


    The giant python next to Zhao Feng trembled as if it felt something and was unwilling to proceed forwards. In the sky, the black eagle and Yao bird didn''t dare to go any further either. It was as if this was their limit and the place in front of them was forbidden.


    Roar~~~~


    A deafening roar suddenly sounded.


    Whoosh!


    A gold-and-red figure with a terrifying physical aura charged at Zhao Feng.


    "This is¡­!" Zhao Feng immediately circulated the Sacred Lightning Body and punched out, clashing with the gold-and-red figure.


    A flaming tiger with a pair of golden wings and a snarling expression appeared before Zhao Feng.


    The python behind Zhao Feng curled into a ball.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng forced this beast back with his punch, but the beast''s state of existence and defense were extremely strong. It steadied itself, then flew into the sky.


    "This beast seems a bit familiar¡­."


    This was the first time he had met a mutated beast in the Ancient Dream Realm. The Yao bird, giant python, and black eagle were all normal animals.


    "Could this be the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races¡­?"


    Zhao Feng was stunned as he found a beast from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races ranking. Could all the mutated beasts here be legendary races from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races?

 1042 Evidence

    Chapter 1042 - Evidence


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger race was ranked around 9800th or so among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. However, the true power of this Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger in front of Zhao Feng was able to fight against the Sky Shaking Golden Apes that had the Power Force Ape''s bloodline in them.


    One had to know that the ranking of the Power Force Ape''s bloodline was ranked 421st. The difference in ranking between the two races was extremely big, but the feeling this Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger gave Zhao Feng was that it was very forceful and had a fierce aura.


    "This should be related to the body and bloodline."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    The flesh of a normal animal within the Ancient Dream Realm was very useful for someone that wasn''t a King yet. In terms of bloodline, the humans or beasts in the continent zone had all absorbed or awakened some form of very weak ancient bloodline.


    However, the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger in front of Zhao Feng possibly had the complete bloodline of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger Race bloodline. Such an ancient being couldn''t exist in the continent zone.


    "I wonder how the meat of this Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger is?"


    Zhao Feng thought about the first animal he had killed here ¨C a snake. Back then, the little thieving cat fought with Little Kun Yun over the flesh.


    What about a race with a full bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races? Excitement flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Roar~~


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger left behind a trail of scarlet-golden light in the air and sped toward Zhao Feng.


    Weng~~ Weng~~ Weng!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body at full power and didn''t hold back.


    "Sacred Lightning Palm!"


    Zhao Feng casually thrust out a palm and unleashed a scarlet-golden palm the size of a human.


    Boom!


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger was once again pushed back by Zhao Feng.


    Roar!


    Wariness appeared in the eyes of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger, but it soon turned into ferocity.


    Weng~~


    Golden light flashed around the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger. At this moment, it was like all its power had increased.


    "What a powerful bloodline power!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but exclaim.


    The battle-power of experts or beasts with ancient bloodlines in the continent zone would only become a slightly stronger when using their bloodline power, but the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger, which was only ranked in the nine thousands, had its battle-power almost double after using its bloodline.


    Even Zhao Feng could only become 50% stronger at most when using his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. But the more surprises the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger gave Zhao Feng, the more interested Zhao Feng was in tasting it.


    Hu~


    A blood-red glass-like flame spread across Zhao Feng''s body. Zhao Feng circulated his Blood Devil Sun bloodline and clashed with the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger.


    Boom!


    Part of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s body was ignited by Zhao Feng''s flames, but at the same time, after using its bloodline power, the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger managed to leave behind a wound on Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body.


    "Chaotic Soul Daze!"


    A strong surge of eye-bloodline power appeared from Zhao Feng''s left eye, and the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s soul instantly started to become chaotic, causing it to lose control over its body.


    "Illusion Soul Charge!"


    Zhao Feng used another Dao of Illusion eye-bloodline technique.


    In Sacred Lord Star Demon''s collection, there were many books regarding the soul, the Dao of Illusions, and eye-bloodlines. Zhao Feng learned Soul techniques and eye-bloodline techniques extremely easily.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Fire started to burn in Zhao Feng''s left eye as a crystalline purple light flowed alongside wisps of God Tribulation Lightning symbols.


    Whoosh~~~


    A ball of transparent dark lightning-fire with a Destructive aura landed on the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s head.


    Roar~~


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger instantly started to howl in pain.


    Roar~ Roar~


    Several angered roars sounded from the depths of the forest. A soundwave swept toward Zhao Feng.


    "Not good! If the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger is from an ancient race, there should be other Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers nearby!"


    Zhao Feng''s heart shook.


    Boom! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng immediately used his Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm and the Wind Lightning Eye Flame to kill the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng grabbed the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger and disappeared.


    At the same time, two even-bigger Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers appeared, but they found nothing. They talked with one another before howling in anger.


    Within the Misty Spatial World:


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat instantly came over when Zhao Feng appeared. Its treasure-like black eyes spun as it held a sharp little knife in its paw, and saliva flowed out of its mouth.


    "Wait!"


    Zhao Feng immediately stopped the little thieving cat. A transparent glass bottle appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    Zhao Feng used the glass bottle to store the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s blood. Zhao Feng stopped after filling up the bottle.


    "I''ll let you take care of it, but don''t you dare eat it all yourself!"


    Zhao Feng warned the little thieving cat. In the fight against the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger just now, Zhao Feng used the Wind Lightning Eye Flame against its flesh, but that didn''t do too much damage. From this, it was easy to see that the flesh would be very hard to cook.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the little sharp knife in its paw. It suggested to slowly cut the animal, then cook it slowly as well.


    "Great, we''ll do that then!" Zhao Feng agreed and let the little thieving cat handle the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger.


    Zhao Feng then came to the other side of the Misty Spatial World and looked at the blood of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger in the bottle.


    The bloodline power in here was extremely dense. It gave off an original and desolate aura.


    Zhao Feng took out a few drops and painted them over his body as he circulated his Sacred Lightning Body.


    "It''s effective!"


    Zhao Feng felt that his body was absorbing this bloodline power extremely quickly, and although it was slightly less effective, it was also healing Zhao Feng''s body, blood, and organs.


    Zhao Feng took out 10% of the blood from the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger and wiped it on himself. This time, Zhao Feng didn''t use the Sacred Lightning Body; instead, he used his Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Hu~~


    The bloodline of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger slowly merged into Zhao Feng''s Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Whoosh!


    The flames around Zhao Feng suddenly became stronger.


    "It seems to be able to increase the rate at which I can refine my bloodline!"


    Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression.


    Several hours later, the little thieving cat held a platter of fresh and tender meat and gave it to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng immediately took a piece and went to test its flavor.


    "It''s more than 4 times as effective as the Ancient Dream Realm fruits, and it contains a very pure energy."


    Zhao Feng''s expression froze as he circulated his True Yuan to absorb the energy.


    He had absorbed too many ancient genes and had used countless pressure resources. Thus, the meat of the tiger wasn''t very effective.


    Zhao Feng also guessed that the power of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s flesh was mainly due to its bloodline power, rather than the flesh itself.


    "Although it is weaker and less effective, it is several times better than the resources we bought at the Lan Province War Hall."


    Zhao Feng was satisfied. He took a risk killing the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger. It would be more difficult to kill another Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger.


    Zhao Feng had thought about enslaving the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger instead, but he immediately stopped. If the enslaved Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger had an accident and the Dark Heart Seal faded like Demigod Kun Yun and was then found by some other beast tamer, the secret of Zhao Feng''s Ancient Dream Realm would be revealed to all.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng only enslaved the Yao bird, black eagle, and the giant python, and he almost never let them out to fight.


    On the other side, the little thieving cat ate all of the remaining meat while Zhao Feng wasn''t paying attention, then hid and went to sleep.


    A month later, Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had reached the peak of the 8th level with the help of large amounts of resources. Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat finished eating the meat of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger, and both of them became stronger.


    Eventually, Zhao Feng sensed something in the outside world and left the Misty Spatial World.


    "Someone from Nine Darkness Palace is finally here!"


    Zhao Feng could feel a powerful Demonic Dao aura.


    "Sacred Lord from Nine Darkness Palace, welcome! However, this is the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, so please conceal your aura!" Zhao Feng''s voice sounded in a quiet hall as a figure appeared.


    Zhao Feng felt the terrifying Demonic Dao aura and released a powerful force from his own body, allowing him to remain stable.


    Over the past couple weeks, Zhao Feng had absorbed the essence of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger, so his body and foundation had both become much stronger.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re really daring, aren''t you? How dare you touch a subordinate force of Nine Darkness Palace!?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' voice sounded.


    "The Grand Elder of Dark Sky Gate personally admitted his wrongdoings and chose to repay the Ocean Smoke Pavilion. There''s nothing wrong with that, is there?"


    Zhao Feng''s gaze sharpened. He had heard Duke Nanfeng and Bi Qingyue talk of Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss before. He was one of the upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace that had blocked the members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion that day. If it wasn''t for the Little Sword Saint, Zhao Feng''s forces would have already been crushed by Nine Darkness Palace.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t even try to argue. If you didn''t threaten Sacred Lord Dark Ghost, would he admit to those so-called mistakes?"


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss glared at Zhao Feng and released a mental energy pressure, but Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same.


    This junior¡­! Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was faintly surprised. Only a few years had passed, but Zhao Feng was even stronger. Zhao Feng could ignore both his physical and mental energy pressures.


    "Hehe, I have evidence of those so-called mistakes of him trying to blame the Ocean Smoke Pavilion!" A faint smile formed on Zhao Feng''s face.


    "Evidence?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss paused. Everyone involved in trying to blame the Ocean Smoke Pavilion had already been killed, and Zhao Feng only just came back from the front lines. How could he possibly have any evidence?


    "Ridiculous! Zhao Feng, don''t try to twist reality!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss roared in anger as he spread his Demonic Dao pressure and made the sky turn dark.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng''s body was so strong, he would be unable to withstand this pressure.


    Whoosh!


    Within the Misty Spatial World, the black-armored Sacred Lord released a cold beam of light that shot out from Zhao Feng''s armguard and formed a screen in the air. Many Quasi-Sacred Lords and Sacred Lords appeared on the screen.


    "Leave this to me. I''ll just capture a few random members of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, kill them, then blame it all on them!" Sacred Lord Dark Ghost''s voice sounded from the screen.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly as he looked at Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' expression.


    This scene was from the memories of the black-armored Sacred Lord.

 1043 Hall of Gods

    Chapter 1043 - Hall of Gods


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss froze as he looked at the scene. The content of this image was a meeting from when the forces that supported the Thirteenth Prince discussed how to deal with Zhao Feng.


    The people that appeared were all representatives of the forces that supported the Thirteenth Prince. Even the black-armored Sacred Lord from Nine Darkness Palace was present. How did Zhao Feng have this?


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was puzzled.


    "That aura¡­?"


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss sensed something after the shock passed. A powerful Demonic Dao aura was contained within the cold light that shot out of Zhao Feng''s armguard. From this aura alone, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss could confirm that the owner of this aura was someone that cultivated the secret technique of Nine Darkness Palace.


    Was there a spy in Nine Darkness Palace? Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' expression was extremely grim. No wonder the assassination attempt failed.


    Zhao Feng shouldn''t have been able to escape from three Sacred Lords and the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array.


    "Zhao Feng, hand that person over!"


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had a cold gaze as he circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power and was about to unleash his power. In the scene, the forces were only discussing how to deal with Zhao Feng. None of them mentioned the Crown Prince. However, it would be horrible if the spy had evidence of Nine Darkness Palace planning to do something to the Crown Prince.


    Zhao Feng''s calmness made Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss feel uneasy.


    "Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, the participants of the assassination all seem to come from forces that support the Thirteenth Prince!"


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and spoke in a slightly threatening tone.


    "Hmph, this is a personal issue of Nine Darkness Palace. Nine Darkness Palace simply recruited those forces!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss explained.


    As long as it wasn''t related to the imperials, Nine Darkness Palace wasn''t scared of anything in the continent zone.


    "Since you admit that everything was planned by Nine Darkness Palace, then this matter can''t just end here!" Zhao Feng revealed a smile.


    "Hahaha! You don''t have the right to negotiate with me!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss laughed.


    Zhao Feng''s tone made it seem like he was negotiating with Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss ¨C suggesting that he wanted compensation for the assassination.


    "Furthermore, I''ll be saying this one last time; hand that person over!"


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had a cold expression as killing intent spread. From the scene just now, he could tell that the spy of Nine Darkness Palace was in Zhao Feng''s Misty Spatial World right now. If Zhao Feng wasn''t willing to hand over the Misty Spatial World, then he would just have to steal it away or kill Zhao Feng.


    The atmosphere within the hall was as tense as night.


    "Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, does Nine Darkness Palace really think that I used the last God Slaying Arrow?" Zhao Feng asked Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss in a cold tone, causing the latter to pause.


    According to their intel and analysis, the upper echelons of many forces guessed that Zhao Feng had used the God Slaying Arrow. However, no one actually saw it, so no one could prove that was the case.


    "You couldn''t have defeated Sacred Lord Myriad Forms with your own strength!"


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss didn''t reply to what Zhao Feng asked. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was a non-human Sacred Lord with the Eyes of Myriad Forms. His true strength could allow him to fight against Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, who was at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    "Then how about you give it a try!" Zhao Feng laughed wickedly.


    Whoosh!


    The hall became dead-silent. If Zhao Feng hadn''t warned him, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss would have taken action already, but Zhao Feng mentioned the God Slaying Arrow. Although Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss didn''t believe that Zhao Feng still had it, he didn''t want to risk his own life over it.


    It had taken him a long time to reach the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and he even had hopes of touching the domain of Gods. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss didn''t want to joke around with his life.


    "Zhao Feng, you won''t be able to live very long after becoming Nine Darkness Palace''s enemy¡­."


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss disappeared the very next instant and only left behind a voice ringing across the entire Ocean Smoke Pavilion branch.


    The black-armored Sacred Lord was sweating coldly for Zhao Feng within the Misty Spatial World.


    "Master, do you really have a God Slaying Arrow?" the black-armored Sacred Lord asked. He was curious as well.


    "Yes!" Zhao Feng didn''t hide anything.


    "Nine Darkness Palace shouldn''t chase after Master for a while. If Master can quickly become a Sacred Lord, you''ll have a better chance against Nine Darkness Palace!" the black-armored Sacred Lord suggested.


    He believed that Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss would soon find out he was the traitor after going back and checking. After all, not many people from Nine Darkness Palace had participated in the assassination, and he hadn''t returned since.


    "Hmph, I''ll be causing trouble for Nine Darkness Palace right now!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes focused. The Ocean Smoke Pavilion wasn''t a weak two-star force anymore. The Ocean Smoke Pavilion now included the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan, the Ghost Fire Clan, and the underground assassination organization created by Supreme Emperor Dark Night. To a certain degree, all the other forces around the ocean were controlled by the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Adding on the fact that Zhao Feng supplied them with countless resources and that they had the protection of draconic providence, the Ocean Smoke Pavilion managed to expand very quickly, and they were almost into the continent zone proper.


    The main headquarters of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion had moved to the continent; it was set in Yu Province where the Ji Family was based. The oceans around the Ocean Smoke Pavilion''s previous location and around the Ten Thousand Sacred Clan had become theirs; the Ocean Smoke Pavilion was now considered one of the big forces in the continent zone.


    Bi Qingyue and Supreme Emperor Dark Night arrived several dozen days later while Old Monster Xu remained in Yu Province.


    "I didn''t think that Master would arrive so quickly and finish all our problems!"


    Bi Qingyue revealed a guilty expression. Zhao Feng created this force because he wanted an organization to work for him, but Zhao Feng was constantly spending a lot of resources and wealth, and yet his force was just baggage. Zhao Feng constantly needed to save them every time.


    "Master, our assassination organization is starting to become more famous. It''s called the Silence Assassination Division." Supreme Emperor Dark Night reported the situation of the assassination organization to Zhao Feng.


    It was really easy to expand the assassination organization with the Ocean Smoke Pavilion as the intel headquarters. With the direction of professional assassins and the wealth that Zhao Feng had given them, the Silence Assassination Division stood out from the others.


    Bi Qingyue then told Zhao Feng about the recent expansion progress of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and their future goals.


    "Not bad!" Zhao Feng said after listening carefully.


    The Ocean Smoke Pavilion only became famous due to the Crown Prince trial, and they started to rapidly expand while everyone else was attracted by the war between the two lord dynasties.


    What Bi Qingyue said was more specific than the green-robed elder from before.


    "From now on, this force will be called the Hall of Gods!" Zhao Feng said after thinking for a while.


    His goal of setting up a force was to spread it across the world and make it a superpower that ruled the universe for eternity.


    "Understood, Master!"


    Bi Qingyue and Supreme Emperor Dark Night could feel how ambitious Zhao Feng was from this name alone. The forces they were in charge of were too chaotic; they indeed needed an overall name or management team.


    "Bi Qingyue, the Hall Master will still be you!"


    Zhao Feng was satisfied by Bi Qingyue''s display.


    "Understood!"


    Bi Qingyue''s heart shook. She didn''t expect Zhao Feng to put so much trust in her. He was putting his lifelong goal on her shoulders. Bi Qingyue was extremely moved by this and was willing to serve Zhao Feng with all her ability.


    "Black-armored Sacred Lord, you will become an assassin from now on and help expand the Silence Assassination Division!" Zhao Feng waved his left hand, and a muscular male with black scaly skin appeared.


    "Sacred Lord!"


    The hearts of Bi Qingyue and Supreme Emperor Dark Night shook. In fact, they knew this Sacred Lord; this Sacred Lord was the black-armored Sacred Lord from Nine Darkness Palace. His battle-power was very likely even stronger than Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    They didn''t expect their master to be able to control even a Sacred Lord from Nine Darkness Palace. The Hall of Gods would only become stronger and stronger!


    "Thank you, Master!" Supreme Emperor Dark Night said. Although the assassination organization was expanding rapidly, they needed peak-tier experts to rise.


    "Your next task will be even more difficult!"


    Zhao Feng looked into the distance. The force he wanted was just about formed, but it couldn''t focus only on expanding in order to achieve Zhao Feng''s goal.


    The rise of a powerful force would mean the fall of another.


    "Master, please tell us!" the three within the hall said at the same time.


    They could feel that Zhao Feng was playing a very big game of chess, and they could faintly guess Zhao Feng''s aim.


    "This is your reward for years of hard work."


    Zhao Feng threw over two interspatial rings. Supreme Emperor Dark Night and Bi Qingyue were both extremely talented, so Zhao Feng would make them stronger. The black-armored Sacred Lord only just joined Zhao Feng''s team and hadn''t done much, so there was no reward for him.


    "Thank you, Master!"


    Bi Qingyue and Supreme Emperor Dark Night bowed once more.


    There was only one thing within Bi Qingyue''s interspatial ring, but it made her extremely excited. It was a portion of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey ¨C a treasure that could increase one''s chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    Zhao Feng gave Supreme Emperor Dark Night some peak Wicked Path cultivation techniques and resources.


    The black-armored Sacred Lord felt curious as to what Zhao Feng gave them to have such joyful and excited expressions on their faces.


    "Bi Qingyue, we need to start gathering intel on Nine Darkness Palace."


    In order to deal with Nine Darkness Palace, they needed to pay attention to it and understand more about them.


    Bi Qingyue then left and headed back toward Yu Province.


    "Supreme Emperor Dark Night, your task is even more important than Bi Qingyue''s!"


    Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile and then started to talk to Supreme Emperor Dark Night in private.


    In order to expand the Silence Assassination Division, one needed powerful assassins and plenty of fame. The Hall of Gods was enough to be the shield behind the Silence Assassination Division. Now they just needed fame.


    "I want you to start stealing customers from Black Screen Corner!" Zhao Feng told him what he was thinking.


    Being one of the three biggest underworld organizations, Black Screen Corner was also the strongest assassination organization in the continent.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night jumped up in fright at what Zhao Feng said. Luckily, it was just to pull customers over and not to offend Black Screen Corner itself. Being a former member of Black Screen Corner, he knew how terrifying it was.


    "Then the target¡­?"


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night could guess what Zhao Feng was thinking. The only business they could steal was assassinations.


    The Silence Assassination Division''s goal was obviously to kill those from Nine Darkness Palace and other related forces. Being Nine Darkness Palace''s enemy, Zhao Feng needed to strengthen himself while weakening Nine Darkness Palace at the same time.


    Zhao Feng told Supreme Emperor Dark Night the plan.


    "I will set many anonymous and expensive missions in the Silence Assassination Division and set the same mission in Black Screen Corner in order to attract their attention."


    Since they were stealing business, the rewards from these assassinations had to be plentiful enough to attract most experts.


    Zhao Feng had already thought of a perfect idea.

 1044 Sacred Doctor Jade Spiri

    Chapter 1044 - Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit


    Stealing Black Screen Corner''s business and giving out plentiful rewards for the assassination tasks were the main point. The rewards that Zhao Feng gave out would definitely be something that others couldn''t, and that would make countless experts go after it.


    Zhao Feng''s figure disappeared after Supreme Emperor Dark Night and the black-armored Sacred Lord left.


    Zhao Feng carefully approached the depths of the forest in the Ancient Dream Realm. The original see-through ability of his left eye was heavily restricted in the Ancient Dream Realm, but after his left eye turned gold and gained the Light of Dispersion, he could see into the depths of the forest.


    A clear pond lay in the middle of the forest. The water was gathered from a mountain behind it. Several dozen Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers rested around the pond.


    It was at this moment that Zhao Feng realized that the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger he killed before was one of the weakest individuals. Zhao Feng could feel the terrifying fierce aura just by looking at two of the largest Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers.


    Hu~~


    One of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers seemed to sense something and looked toward Zhao Feng''s direction.


    Zhao Feng immediately moved away his gaze and concealed his aura.


    "The strength of this Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger is at least comparable to the late-stage Mystic Light Realm!" Zhao Feng murmured in his heart. However, in reality, the cultivation of these Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers was only at the early-stage Mystic Light Realm.


    Zhao Feng circled the area where the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers were resting and inspected them for a short while before finally taking action.


    Zhao Feng set his target on a Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger that had left the pack. At a certain moment, Zhao Feng released a wisp of his aura, and that Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger left the pack and headed toward Zhao Feng.


    "This time, it''ll be you!"


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated the Sacred Lightning Body and perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline as he charged at this Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger.


    With the experience from last time, Zhao Feng could deal with this Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger more easily. He knew the rhythm of battle and attacked the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s flaws.


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger sensed Zhao Feng''s power and was about to run when it sensed the strong surge of eye-bloodline power coming from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Purple-and-gold fire appeared in Zhao Feng''s left eye. The dark symbols of God Tribulation Lightning also glittered within it.


    Boom!


    A ball of transparent fire and purple-golden lightning with the Destructive aura of God Tribulation Lightning landed on the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s head. This was the moment when the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger was weakest, and Zhao Feng immediately charged forward and unleashed a critical attack.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng returned to the Misty Spatial World with the dead Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat, who was sleeping, immediately woke up with shining eyes and started to drool.


    "No, this Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger has other uses!"


    Zhao Feng immediately stopped what the little thieving cat was thinking about.


    In the end, Zhao Feng made the little thieving cat cut the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger into small pieces, and he gave one of the wings to the little thieving cat. Zhao Feng then left the Ocean Smoke Pavilion branch and went on his way.


    He soon arrived at his destination with the help of the Misty Spatial World and the teleportation arrays within the cities.


    Long Rainbow City, Saint Herb Pavilion:


    "Welcome! Are there any herbs or pills you need?" An elegant female in green immediately came forward.


    Zhao Feng then headed toward the eighth floor of the Saint Herb Pavilion, where several Emperors were picking herbs or pills.


    "Zhou Su''er, I''m coming up!" Zhao Feng said before heading up the steps to the ninth floor.


    "Who is this young person? He can go directly to the ninth floor!?"


    "The owner here is an imperial!"


    "Gold hair and a golden eye¡­ could it be Zhao Feng!?"


    The Emperors on the eighth floor were stunned. Now that the two lord dynasties were at war, all of the forces and experts paid attention to the front lines, and most had personally participated in the war at some point.


    Therefore, the fame that Zhao Feng obtained from defeating Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was even higher than the fame he had received in the Crown Prince trial.


    Zhou Su''er''s voice sounded the instant he arrived on the ninth floor.


    "I thought that you would never come back here!"


    Zhou Su''er''s voice seemed to be blaming him.


    "I''ve come for your help this time!" Zhao Feng said, and Zhou Su''er''s eyebrows furrowed as she stared at Zhao Feng. It was obvious that Zhao Feng had hurt her feelings.


    "What is it?" Zhou Su''er sighed.


    She knew that Zhao Feng was the Grand Elder of a force and was extremely busy. He was also fighting at the front lines not long ago. Furthermore, there was still a feud between Zhao Feng and Nine Darkness Palace, so he didn''t exactly have much free time.


    "I have a type of beast flesh, and I want to refine it into a pill!" Zhao Feng said.


    "Easy peasy!" Zhou Su''er replied.


    The most precious parts of beasts were some special materials and the Crystal Core. However, the flesh of some beasts was also extremely unique and contained a pure energy within them. It was more suitable to craft them into pills for cultivators to use them.


    "I need the pills to be of a certain grade."


    Zhao Feng was planning to use the pills refined by the flesh of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger to be given out as rewards for assassinations.


    The assassinations would target a wide range of people, including Kings and even Sacred Lords. Therefore, it was best to split the pills into tiers.


    "So troublesome! Give the body of the beast to me!"


    Zhou Su''er was curious as to what kind of rare beast Zhao Feng obtained. After all, Zhao Feng was an expert that specialized in body-strengthening, and his state of existence had reached the level of a Mystic Light Realm. The flesh of normal beasts wasn''t effective for him.


    Zhao Feng handed over an interspatial ring. If he took out the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger directly, other experts might sense the aura from it.


    Zhou Su''er put her Divine Sense into the interspatial ring after looking at the mysterious and secretive Zhao Feng.


    "This is¡­!"


    Zhou Su''er was completely stunned. Being a doctor, she could feel the pure aura coming from the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger. However, since this beast had been cut up already, she couldn''t tell what it was.


    "What a strong surge of ancient aura¡­." Zhou Su''er immediately said.


    The ancient aura radiating from it was several times stronger than the aura from the Imperial Tombs.


    "There''s also an ancient bloodline aura from it. Did you kill an original beast with an ancient bloodline!?" Zhou Su''er exclaimed as she felt her bloodline tremble.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was an original beast with an ancient bloodline. They were extremely valuable; no one would kill them to refine them into pills.


    "It''s just a beast that has a bloodline ranked in the nine thousands of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!" Zhao Feng explained.


    Zhou Su''er started to calm down. A beast with such a low bloodline ranking was indeed not very useful, but the thick and pure ancient bloodline and energy from it still stunned her.


    "Stay here for a while. I''ve never refined an original beast with a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races before. I need to ask my teacher¡­." Zhou Su''er explained to Zhao Feng before leaving the Saint Herb Pavilion.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. He had only taken a small portion of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s bloodline himself. Most of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s bloodline was still within its body in order to upgrade the pills'' rank.


    Zhao Feng stayed in the Saint Herb Pavilion after Zhou Su''er left.


    "One Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger is nowhere near enough!"


    The pills refined from one Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger might be able to attract the attention of assassins, but it definitely wouldn''t be able to keep them. Therefore, Zhao Feng would occasionally enter the Ancient Dream Realm and find chances to attract away another one or two Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers.


    Half a month passed, and Zhao Feng successfully managed to kill two more Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers.


    However, at this point, the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers realized Zhao Feng''s actions, and all of them gathered around the pond. If they went out, they went together, so it was much more difficult for Zhao Feng to kill them.


    "I wonder what kind of uses that pond has?"


    Zhao Feng looked at the clear pond from the forest with his transparency ability.


    The pond definitely had something unique about it for several dozen Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers to rest there.


    Zhao Feng suddenly sensed something and left the Ancient Dream Realm. Two figures soon entered the ninth floor of the Saint Herb Pavilion.


    One of them was Zhou Su''er, while the other was an old granny with white hair and kind eyes.


    "Zhao Feng, the pills are done!"


    Two jade white bottles appeared in Zhou Su''er''s hand.


    Zhao Feng took the bottles and scanned over them with his left eye. The two bottles were indeed of different grades, but they were much better than what he expected.


    "One of the bottles consists of Spiritual Blood Core Pills, which is made from the flesh. The other consists of Blood Essence Pills, which are made mainly from the bloodline with a small amount of flesh in it!" the granny with white hair explained to Zhao Feng.


    "This is my master, Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit!" Zhou Su''er introduced.


    "May I ask why Senior is here?"


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly as he looked at the granny with white hair.


    Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit was one of the continent''s top doctors. While she focused on the Dao of Healing, she had also become a Sacred Lord. From this, one could see how talented she was.


    A Sacred Doctor would definitely not come here in person if they didn''t have a reason.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng guessed that these pills might have been refined by Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit herself, or else the grade wouldn''t be so high.


    "Does Little Friend Zhao have more of these bloodlines? I''m willing to buy them for a high price!" Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit said.


    One had to know that a favor from a Sacred Doctor in the continent zone was very valuable. Countless forces and experts stood behind a Sacred Doctor.


    Zhou Su''er clicked her tongue. She knew that Zhao Feng didn''t have any simple intentions by taking out that flesh.


    "Original beasts of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races are too rare!" Zhao Feng replied, but he didn''t decline.


    "Does Little Friend Zhao have any other requests?" Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit continued to ask. When she had personally refined these pills, she could feel that some of the bloodline power within the flesh had been taken away by Zhao Feng.


    Although she had refined some of the bloodline as well, she hadn''t done much. After all, she was a Sacred Doctor famous across the continent. She wouldn''t make it very obvious that she was stealing resources and using less effort.


    However, Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit was stunned by what she managed to refine through this bloodline. The purity of this Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline was incredibly high. Even if it was an original beast from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races that had survived from ancient times, its bloodline shouldn''t have been so pure.


    "Yes, I want to invite Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit to refine pills for the Hall of Gods for ten years!" Zhao Feng said with a faint smile.


    Ten years of a Sacred Doctor''s service was far more valuable than a hundred years of service from some other Sacred Lord expert.


    Zhou Su''er shook her head after the surprise passed. Her master, Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit, didn''t belong to any force, and she had rejected offers even from the imperials.


    "Hehe, may I know what Little Friend Zhao can give me?"


    Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit gave a faint smile. She hadn''t heard of the Hall of Gods before, but that didn''t matter.


    Zhou Su''er paused for a moment. If a normal person said that to Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit, she would decline them right away and wouldn''t refine pills for them in the future. However, this time, her master didn''t decline and instead seemed to be interested.


    Zhao Feng took out an interspatial ring and then spoke, "Senior should know what kind of beast this flesh comes from, right?"


    Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit took the interspatial ring and scanned through it with her Divine Sense. She instantly became dazed. It was obvious that her entire focus was on the interspatial ring.

 1045 Assassinations

    Chapter 1045 - Assassinations


    Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit instantly became dazed. It was obvious that her entire focus was on the interspatial ring.


    An original beast of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races lay there, dead. Although dead, it still gave off a fierce and powerful aura.


    "Such power, such pure Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, and an original aura of Heaven and Earth¡­."


    Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit wanted to start inspecting the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger right now, but her consciousness returned to her body.


    Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit''s eyes regained light once more back in the Saint Herb Pavilion, and she immediately spoke; "It''s settled then!"


    "Master, you agreed?" Zhou Su''er immediately asked. At the same time, Zhou Su''er was extremely curious as to what Zhao Feng took out for Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit to agree to him when she even rejected the imperials.


    "What? Do you not want me to help him?" Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit asked and smiled at Zhou Su''er.


    Zhou Su''er''s face went slightly red, and she didn''t speak anymore.


    "Senior, thank you!"


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly. He didn''t expect to meet Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit during his visit. Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit joining the Hall of Gods should be able to increase its fame.


    If Zhao Feng wanted any more pills in the future, he could just come find this Sacred Doctor.


    "Does Senior need to prepare anything?" Zhao Feng asked. Since Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit agreed to serve the Hall of Gods for ten years, she would need to move to the Hall of Gods.


    "Let''s go!" Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit said directly. Ten years was just the tap of a finger for a Sacred Lord.


    When she arrived at the Hall of Gods, the Hall of Gods would be responsible for the resources she needed to refine pills.


    "Zhou Su''er, we''ll be leaving!"


    Zhao Feng smiled. Although they agreed upon ten years, Zhao Feng was confident that he could get Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit to stay even after ten years.


    "I''ll come as well!" Zhou Su''er immediately said after seeing Zhao Feng about to leave with her master.


    Zhao Feng instantly paused. He didn''t know what Zhou Su''er was thinking.


    "I want to be with master!" Zhou Su''er immediately stood next to Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit.


    "You''re not going to care about the Saint Herb Pavilion?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "The Saint Herb Pavilion will also join the Hall of Gods!" Zhou Su''er said without even thinking.


    "Then let''s go!"


    Zhao Feng didn''t know what was going on with Zhou Su''er, but the Saint Herb Pavilion was one of the top herb markets in Yun Province. It would be obviously good if they joined the Hall of Gods.


    This meant that the Hall of Gods now had professionals in charge of pills and herbs, allowing them to expand.


    Zhao Feng appeared next to them and waved his left arm.


    Whoosh!


    Silver light appeared around the three as their figures started to fade and disappear. The next instant, they appeared outside a Spiritual Palace.


    "This is the ability to pass through space?"


    Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit was faintly surprised. It was obvious that she didn''t pay much attention to the outside world, so she didn''t know that Zhao Feng had obtained the Misty Spatial World.


    "So much energy was used!" Zhao Feng murmured. A lot more energy was used this time since Zhao Feng had taken two more people along with him, including Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit, who was a Sacred Lord.


    The three of them then used the teleportation array within the Spiritual Palace.


    Zhao Feng gave an order when they arrived at the branch of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion; "Accept the Saint Herb Pavilion into the Hall of Gods."


    The three of them then continued their journey and headed toward Yu Province.


    Zhao Feng would rest after using the ability to pass through space twice, recovering his True Yuan.


    They soon arrived at the Hall of Gods in Yu Province a couple dozen days later.


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had seen the newly built Hall of Gods.


    The Hall of Gods was set on a range of mountains. The path was dangerous, and it was surrounded by clouds and mist. The palace was magnificent and perched either on the mountains or in the cliffs.


    Zhao Feng had already communicated with Bi Qingyue with the Dark Heart Seal beforehand. Bi Qingyue was already waiting at the entrance.


    "Grand Elder, Senior Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit, please come on in!"


    Bi Qingyue looked at Zhao Feng in awe. In just the short span of a month or two, Zhao Feng had invited another Sacred Lord ¨C Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit, who was famous across the continent.


    "Bi Qingyue, organize a herb building and give it to Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit." Zhao Feng ordered, then they all entered the Hall of Gods.


    Zhao Feng, Bi Qingyue, and Supreme Emperor Dark Night gathered together in a secret hall after letting Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit and Zhou Su''er settle in.


    "Master, here is some news regarding Nine Darkness Palace and Black Screen Corner."


    Bi Qingyue organized a mountain of intel, but Zhao Feng was able to see through it all and memorize it with his eye-bloodline.


    "Master, I suggest putting some of them down as assassination targets¡­." Bi Qingyue reported to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. Bi Qingyue''s analysis was always very good. It was easy to assassinate members of Nine Darkness Palace or anyone else, but it would gradually become more difficult. Therefore, the first people they assassinated couldn''t be wasted on random people.


    After confirming their tactics, Zhao Feng gave the task of putting the missions on the Silence Assassination Division to Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    "Master, are you going to head personally to Black Screen Corner?" Supreme Emperor Dark Night asked.


    Zhao Feng had discussed the plan with Supreme Emperor Dark Night a long time ago. Putting up the missions in the Silence Assassination Division alone wasn''t enough. They also needed to put the same missions up in Black Screen Corner in order to attract the attention of assassins and experts.


    Zhao Feng believed that the rewards he was willing to give out would definitely catch the interest of the assassins. After letting them get a taste of it, Zhao Feng would only put the missions in the Silence Assassination Division.


    "No, I''ll let someone else go in my place!"


    Zhao Feng had been planning to personally go to Black Screen Corner, but since Black Screen Corner was a bit far away from Yu Province and not in range of the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng had to give this secret task to someone else.


    He didn''t dare to take it easy, so Zhao Feng could only give this task to someone that he had enslaved.


    A skinny and wrinkled figure soon arrived after Bi Qingyue and Supreme Emperor Dark Night left.


    "Master, do you have any orders?"


    The newcomer was Emperor Withered Shadow. Emperor Withered Shadow was the assassin that tried to kill Old Monster Xu, but he was enslaved by Zhao Feng instead and became an upper echelon of the new assassination organization.


    "Emperor Withered Shadow, go to Black Screen Corner and put up missions for me!"


    Zhao Feng and Emperor Withered Shadow both disappeared from the secret hall after all the orders were given.


    Later that day, many new assassination tasks appeared in the strongholds of Yu Province. They were all mainly related to Nine Darkness Palace.


    "This should be sent by a force opposing Nine Darkness Palace!"


    "Hehe, I only care about the rewards. I don''t care who the target is!"


    An assassin with a pale-white face licked his lips.


    "Spiritual Blood Core Pills? They contain large amounts of energy and strengthen one''s bloodline. They can also increase the chances of awakening one''s bloodline¡­. This is a lie, right?"


    An assassin didn''t believe what the reward was. The description of the Spiritual Blood Core Pills was too unrealistic, especially the part that said it could increase one''s bloodline power and chances of awakening their bloodline. Such a spiritual pill was invaluable!


    "The Silence Assassination Division won''t set up missions with fake rewards. Furthermore, it seems a Sacred Doctor made it," an elder with a weak aura said.


    Pills made by Sacred Doctors increased the grade of the pills. If pills of the same kind were made by a Grandmaster and a Sacred Doctor, the latter''s would be more expensive, and most people would be willing to buy from them instead.


    "Hehehe, I''ll accept this task!" The cold assassin with a pale-white face took the task and left in a hurry.


    ¡­


    In a forbidden area in the backyard of the Hall of Gods was where Zhao Feng stayed.


    Zhao Feng walked around the depths of the forest in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "After killing a few more Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, none of them leave by themselves anymore!"


    Zhao Feng felt slightly depressed. Only the Yao bird, black eagle, and giant python could fight for him in the Ancient Dream Realm, but their battle-power wasn''t on the same level as the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers.


    "Looks like I need to raise a force within the Ancient Dream Realm to obtain resources for me!"


    Zhao Feng finally realized, but he didn''t know where to find anything. It was already hard enough to deal with the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers.


    "Looks like I''ll have to start with the beasts inside the Misty Spatial World then!"


    Zhao Feng''s gaze deepened. Zhao Feng only had two beast packs and the Five Poison Distinct Bees after giving two beast packs to the Ninth Prince.


    These two beast packs had become much stronger with the help of Zhao Feng''s resources, but it still wasn''t enough to fight back against the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers. This meant that only the Five Poison Distinct Bees remained.


    At the end, Zhao Feng chose a couple dozen Bee Kings and ten Bee Emperors and took them into the Ancient Dream Realm.


    This was the first time Zhao Feng was taking living beings into the Ancient Dream Realm. Of course, the Five Poison Distinct Bees would have to live here in the future as well.


    The Five Poison Distinct Bees were uncomfortable at the beginning, but they were ancient insects, and Zhao Feng had only picked Bee Kings and Bee Emperors, so their adaptive abilities were very strong.


    After surviving in the Ancient Dream Realm for a short while, the aura of these Five Poison Distinct Bees became stronger.


    "Let them adapt to the environment, then prepare to target the pond in the middle of the forest!" Zhao Feng decided.


    At this moment in time, a purple-and-blood-colored figure swept past the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    "This seems to be an intel agency!" Nan Gongsheng looked at the Ocean Smoke Pavilion below.


    "This is the Hall of Gods. What does Senior want?" An elder flew out from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    "Hall of Gods?" Nan Gongsheng murmured. He had no impression of this name at all.


    Whoosh!


    Nan Gongsheng descended into the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Boom!


    The defensive array around the Ocean Smoke Pavilion shattered as Nan Gongsheng instantly arrived before the elder.


    "Tell me, where is Zhao Feng!?" Nan Gongsheng''s face was cold and wicked. He gave off a terrifying aura that made the elder in front of him freeze.


    "Why do you want to find the Grand Elder?" Cold sweat appeared on this elder. At this moment, he finally realized how terrifying this young person was. He wasn''t any weaker than Old Monster Xu or Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    "Hall of Gods? Grand Elder¡­ Zhao Feng?"


    Dark purple light flashed through Nan Gongsheng''s eyes.

 1046 Nan Gongsheng’s Arrival

    Chapter 1046 - Nan Gongsheng''s Arrival


    A month after the assassination missions were set up, news of the Spiritual Blood Core Pills being offered as rewards spread through the assassination world.


    Most of the other assassination organizations didn''t believe that the Spiritual Blood Core Pill was real and thought that it was just a ruse created by the Silence Assassination Division in order to attract attention.


    Emperor Withered Shadow also set up a handful of assassination missions in Black Screen Corner. The assassins of Black Screen Corner were more professional, and two missions were completed within ten days of being set up.


    "Did you hear? Ghost Kill, who''s ranked 148th in Black Corner Screen, broke through and is now an Emperor. His ranking has jumped to 82nd!"


    "I heard about it as well. Apparently, he completed an assassination and obtained a treasure called the Spiritual Blood Core Pill."


    "Spiritual Blood Core Pill? That''s appeared in the rewards set by the Silence Assassination Division!"


    Many professional assassins with cold expressions communicated with each other in a stronghold of Black Screen Corner and exchanged information.


    An assassin breaking through or suddenly becoming stronger would obviously attract the attention of many other assassins. Assassins usually only picked the missions with the most plentiful rewards with the least difficulty.


    "Boss, there are only four assassination missions that give out Spiritual Blood Core Pills left. Should we give one a try?" a skinny young figure in a dark corner said.


    Next to him were two males and a female. They all radiated a bone-chilling killing intent, and those nearby didn''t dare to approach them.


    "Sure. Although the target is Nine Darkness Palace, we just need to hide for a while after we succeed."


    The leading assassin couldn''t resist the temptation of a Spiritual Blood Core Pill.


    ¡­


    In the Hall of Gods:


    "Master, all of the assassination missions set in Black Screen Corner have been completed!"


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night revealed an excited expression.


    Ever since the missions were set, the assassins in the Silence Assassination Division doubled in number, and the smaller nearby assassination organizations had been eaten up by them. A small number of assassins had even moved over from Black Screen Corner.


    "This will now be the main show!" Zhao Feng laughed.


    "Continue putting up assassination missions, and increase the difficulty!" Zhao Feng ordered.


    Later that day, Bi Qingyue, Supreme Emperor Dark Night, and Zhao Feng discussed the next group of targets. The first group consisted of Kings and a small number of Emperors, but this time would be more difficult. They even confirmed a number of Quasi-Sacred Lords.


    "Hmm? This is the Grand Elder of the Darkness Ghost Clan!"


    Zhao Feng found a certain piece of news by accident. The Darkness Ghost Clan and Dark Sky Gate were both subordinate forces of Nine Darkness Palace, and the Darkness Ghost Clan was the force that Zhao Wang had joined.


    Zhao Feng realized that the Grand Elder of the Darkness Ghost Clan was the old elder that tried to kill Zhao Feng along with the black-armored Sacred Lord not long ago. The elder managed to survive since he specialized in spatial laws, but Zhao Feng had left a Mark of the God Eye on him.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll let him survive for a while longer!"


    Zhao Feng had another plan that needed Zhao Wang''s cooperation, but the latter wasn''t strong enough yet.


    "The reward for killing Quasi-Sacred Lords will be a Blood Essence Pill then!"


    Zhao Feng took out a few Blood Essence Pills and put them into a small bottle.


    The materials used to craft the Blood Essence Pills were completely different from the Spiritual Blood Core Pills. The Blood Essence Pills were made from pure ancient bloodlines, and it was useful for bloodlines.


    Zhao Feng handed this small bottle to Emperor Withered Shadow and let him set some more assassination missions in Black Screen Corner.


    Since the task of killing Quasi-Sacred Lords was too difficult, putting missions up in the Silence Assassination Division wasn''t very useful.


    "I''ll leave this task to you. If you need any Blood Essence Pills or Spiritual Blood Core Pills, just come to me!"


    Zhao Feng handed over the task to Bi Qingyue and Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    "Understood!"


    Bi Qingyue and Supreme Emperor Dark Night both wanted the Blood Essence Pills, so they paid extra attention to the matter and hoped that they would be able to obtain some Blood Essence Pills from Zhao Feng if they did a good job.


    Later that day, another batch of Spiritual Blood Core Pill missions was sent out, causing chaos amongst the assassination world. Countless examples had already proven the worth of the Spiritual Blood Core Pills.


    "I''ve disliked Nine Darkness Palace for a long time now. Who knows which powerful force this is? They''ve set up so many assassination missions!"


    A muscular assassin took a mission and left with excitement.


    "Hehe, it''s best to do these missions quickly!"


    An assassin radiating a bloody aura revealed a deadly look in his eyes.


    Everyone could fell that the difficulty of these assassinations had increased. The subordinate forces of Nine Darkness Palace had started to take action.


    Another assassination mission then appeared in Black Screen Corner. The reward was a Blood Essence Pill, and it was set by the same person or force that gave out the Spiritual Blood Core Pills.


    The top thirty assassins in Black Screen Corner were instantly attracted by it. Blood Essence Pills were extremely attractive to peak Emperors. Even Sacred Lords with weaker bloodlines would want them.


    However, there was only one mission that gave Blood Essence Pills, and that was to kill the Quasi-Sacred Lords of Nine Darkness Palace.


    That day, three different assassins accepted the mission!


    ¡­


    Back in the hall of Gods, Zhao Feng gave one prepared Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger to Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit.


    He didn''t expect the assassination missions to be finished so quickly. His pills were running out.


    Zhao Feng immediately entered seclusion after returning to his residence.


    "I''ll wait a little while longer before preparing to take over the lake!"


    Herbs appeared in Zhao Feng''s hands as he started to cultivate. Flames of Wind Lightning started to surround him.


    Some of the Five Poison Distinct Bees had entered the Ancient Dream Realm, and they were becoming stronger rapidly. However, the battle-power of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers was too great, and Zhao Feng didn''t have much confidence with just the Five Poison Distinct Bees.


    Zhao Feng guessed that the majority of the Five Poison Distinct Bees would be lost in order to conquer the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers. Therefore, Zhao Feng planned to control the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and turn them into his force in order to make up for the losses of the Five Poison Distinct Bees.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng''s aura rose once more. The Fire of Wind Lightning coming from him became even purer and stronger.


    "The Fire of Wind Lightning has reached completion!" Zhao Feng murmured in a low voice.


    At this moment in time, he had used almost all of his Fire-elemental treasures. Zhao Feng bought a large amount of cultivation resources in the Heaven''s Legacy City, but they were all used up now.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng had already started to gather resources for the Earth of Wind Lightning a long time ago.


    After returning to the Hall of Gods, Zhao Feng used his subordinates to find more Earth-elemental resources.


    "Eh? This aura¡­!"


    Zhao Feng felt a wicked aura.


    At this moment, a voice sounded a thousand miles away from Zhao Feng.


    "Grand Elder, a Sacred Lord expert says they''re here to meet you!"


    Zhao Feng''s figure instantly appeared outside the palace and disappeared into the sky.


    The upper echelon of the Hall of Gods was facing a wicked male with purple-and-blood-colored hair. However, it was the male that had the momentum; Old Monster Xu and Supreme Emperor Dark Night were both on the Hall of Gods'' side, but they didn''t dare to do anything rashly.


    "Stand down!" Zhao Feng''s voice sounded from behind them, and all the experts of the Hall of Gods started to slowly retreat. However, many of them were inspecting this mysterious Grand Elder.


    "All of you, go away!" Bi Qingyue knew what Zhao Feng wanted and immediately scattered the crowd.


    "Zhao Feng, I didn''t expect you to create your own power!" Nan Gongsheng''s eyes glittered with a dark purple light as he said somewhat unhappily.


    In his heart, Zhao Feng was someone that aimed for the pinnacle of martial arts and had the potential to become a God. He shouldn''t have been wasting his time establishing a force and wasting resources on them.


    Nan Gongsheng couldn''t help but be disappointed in the current Zhao Feng.


    "Come in and talk!" Zhao Feng said.


    The moment he saw Nan Gongsheng''s power, he knew that Nan Gongsheng hadn''t been completely controlled by the Evil God Mental Thought Body yet. If Nan Gongsheng had been completely assimilated, he would have absorbed the power of the Evil God without stopping. It wouldn''t be a surprise if he had already reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm in that case.


    "Zhao Feng, let me see if you''ve become stronger or not!"


    Battle-intent appeared in Nan Gongsheng''s eyes as a terrifying wicked aura spread throughout Heaven and Earth. Wicked flowers extended across his body.


    "Nan Gongsheng, I won''t fight with you," Zhao Feng''s emotionless voice sounded.


    "Why not?"


    Nan Gongsheng paused, and his battle-intent instantly faded away. If Zhao Feng didn''t want to fight back, there was no point in fighting.


    "He''s just a Quasi-Sacred Lord right now. Nan Gongsheng, he can''t be your match!" the Evil God Mental Thought Body''s voice sounded in Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    "You already know my hidden card!" Zhao Feng replied, and Nan Gongsheng paused. He knew what Zhao Feng''s hidden card was ¨C the God Slaying Arrow. If Zhao Feng used the God Slaying Arrow, then he would lose no matter what.


    In reality, this wasn''t Zhao Feng''s true reason. At this point in time, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had successfully broken through to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm. He could defeat Nan Gongsheng even without the God Slaying Arrow just with his pure Soul Intent.


    However, he didn''t want to defeat Nan Gongsheng. Zhao Feng knew that Nan Gongsheng had set him as a target. Once Nan Gongsheng lost to Zhao Feng, he might start to absorb the power of the Evil God uncontrollably.


    That was something that Zhao Feng didn''t want to see. At least for now, Nan Gongsheng could still think for himself. It would be best if he maintained that.


    "Come in. The Hall of Gods is a force that opposes Nine Darkness Palace, so there might be Nine Darkness Palace scouts nearby!" Zhao Feng messaged.


    Nan Gongsheng''s face instantly revealed a blood-colored light as killing intent surged from him. Nine Darkness Palace had chased after him for four entire years, even chasing him back to the True Martial Sacred Land and threatening his martial siblings, his master, and his clan. One could only imagine how much Nan Gongsheng hated Nine Darkness Palace.


    However, Nan Gongsheng understood that he wasn''t a match for Nine Darkness Palace yet.


    Whoosh!


    Nan Gongsheng followed Zhao Feng into a forbidden area at the back of the Hall of Gods.


    "Nan Gongsheng, my force has just started to take action. Are you interested in joining?"


    Zhao Feng smiled and faintly spoke after entering a secret hall.

 1047 Attacking the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers

    Chapter 1047 - Attacking the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers


    "Nan Gongsheng, my force has just started to take action. Are you interested in joining?"


    Zhao Feng smiled and faintly spoke after entering a secret hall.


    "What kind of action?"


    Nan Gongsheng believed that, if it was Zhao Feng saying this, there would definitely be something that he was interested in.


    "I created an assassination organization and put up a bunch of missions that target the strongholds of Nine Darkness Palace¡­."


    Zhao Feng summarized the actions taken against Nine Darkness Palace.


    "You made this force so you could destroy Nine Darkness Palace?"


    A light flashed through Nan Gongsheng''s eyes. Nan Gongsheng knew very clearly how difficult it was to fight against a monster such as Nine Darkness Palace alone. However, it was even harder to create a force that could fight back against Nine Darkness Palace.


    Thinking up to here, Nan Gongsheng finally realized how incredible Zhao Feng was. No one knew how many times stronger the Hall of Gods was in comparison to the Mystic True Sacred Clan.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng created this force to destroy Nine Darkness Palace. Once Zhao Feng destroyed Nine Darkness Palace, he might turn back into the Zhao Feng that focused on the Dao of martial arts once more. Nan Gongsheng was looking forward to seeing that Zhao Feng again.


    However, what Nan Gongsheng didn''t know was that, although Zhao Feng was the Grand Elder, he didn''t actually do a lot of management. Most of his time was still spent on comprehension.


    "The day Nine Darkness Palace is destroyed is the day we fight!" Nan Gongsheng''s cold and decisive voice sounded.


    In other words, Nan Gongsheng was willing to join the Hall of Gods at least until that point.


    "Sure!" Zhao Feng agreed for now.


    According to the intel that the Ocean Smoke Pavilion discovered, Nine Darkness Palace had Demigods. Demigods were experts that stood at the peak of the continent, and they were legendary existences.


    Zhao Feng felt helpless as well. He wasn''t sure if he could destroy Nine Darkness Palace, and he didn''t know how long it would take even if he could, but with Nan Gongsheng''s help, Zhao Feng''s confidence increased.


    "Being an assassin doesn''t sound too bad!" Nan Gongsheng licked his lips as he revealed a bloodthirsty and cruel intent.


    "By the way Zhao Feng, Kun Yun might come to the continent zone!" Nan Gongsheng suddenly said.


    According to what he knew, Zhao Feng was the one that had revived Demigod Kun Yun, but after the short interaction Nan Gongsheng had with Kun Yun, it seemed like Kun Yun hated Zhao Feng.


    "At the moment, he''s at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm!" Nan Gongsheng warned.


    "Little Kun Yun!"


    Zhao Feng was stunned. Kun Yun had been revived through blood, and his cultivation speed was extremely fast. Kun Yun at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm would be able to fight against Sacred Kings at the least. After all, he was once a Demigod and had many hidden cards.


    Nine Darkness Palace alone made Zhao Feng''s head hurt. If Kun Yun came over too, the Hall of Gods might be destroyed.


    "No, I need to stall him!" Zhao Feng murmured gently as a light flashed through his mind, and he sent a message to Bi Qingyue through the Dark Heart Seal.


    "Tell the forces of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion near the oceans to spread news that I''m at the very front lines fighting!"


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but laugh after sending the message. Since the oceans were basically ruled by the Ocean Smoke Pavilion and Kun Yun had to pass by there first, he would definitely head to the front lines after receiving this news.


    "I''ll just have to direct him to the front lines for now."


    Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    The news of Kun Yun put more pressure on Zhao Feng. At the moment, Zhao Feng was too weak. He would only have the ability to negotiate with Kun Yun if he became a Sacred Lord. After all, the feud between them hadn''t yet reached a level where one of them had to die.


    Zhao Feng then called over Emperor Withered Shadow and told him to teach Nan Gongsheng.


    The Silence Assassination Division of the Hall of Gods now had the black-armored Sacred Lord, Supreme Emperor Dark Night, Emperor Withered Shadow, Nan Gongsheng, and more. Zhao Feng believed that even more super assassins would soon join the Silence Assassination Division after giving out the Blood Essence Pills.


    At the same time, these assassins that roamed around the world would be able to give information to the Hall of Gods. It was a win-win situation for both of them.


    Zhao Feng started to make preparations for the fight in the Ancient Dream Realm after Nan Gongsheng left. Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm three days later and prepared to attack the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers.


    Weng~ Weng~


    Sixty or so Five Poison Distinct Bees flew around Zhao Feng. The color of these Five Poison Distinct Bees was brighter than before, and they radiated a fearful aura. Six Bee Kings had broken through and become Bee Emperors.


    "Good, I now have fourteen Bee Emperors!"


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. He didn''t expect the Five Poison Distinct Bees to improve so rapidly in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Weng~ Weng!


    Under Zhao Feng''s control, these Five Poison Distinct Bees followed behind him and slowly approached the center of the forest.


    A faint golden ripple of light covered Zhao Feng''s left eye as he saw through everything.


    At this moment, the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers surrounded the pond. Some were drinking water while others flew in the air or lay resting in the grass.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze first locked on the two larger Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers. According to his inspections, these two Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers should be the leaders.


    "Go!"


    Zhao Feng controlled the Five Poison Distinct Bees and made them speed through the forest.


    Roar~~


    The two slightly larger Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers sensed this unusualness and roared out loud so that the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers gathered together.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng used the Scarlet Wings of Lightning and charged forward as Five Poison Distinct Bees surrounded him. His target was also the two larger Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers.


    Roar~~~


    Close to fifteen Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers roared in anger as they saw Zhao Feng and released a terrifying fierce aura. It was obvious that Zhao Feng''s hunting of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers had angered them.


    "Human, no matter what race you are, you will die for hunting my pack!"


    The leading Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger released a mental energy undulation, and Zhao Feng was able to understand what the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger said when this undulation reached Zhao Feng''s soul.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several dozen scarlet-golden figures leapt out and surrounded Zhao Feng. They instantly started to attack as they released a desolate and fierce aura toward Zhao Feng. The aura from the two larger Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers made Zhao Feng feel a sense of danger.


    However, there were sixty or so Five Poison Distinct Bees around Zhao Feng that were able to share the pressure for him.


    "Little World of Illusions!"


    A surge of purple mist appeared behind Zhao Feng''s flashing Scarlet Lightning Body. It soon covered everything within several hundred yards and turned the world into an illusion.


    Zhao Feng had formed his Little World of Illusions long ago, but this was the first time he was using it in battle.


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers charging at the front instantly slowed down. Their senses were heavily restricted in the Little World of Illusions.


    On the other hand, the Five Poison Distinct Bees were controlled by Zhao Feng''s Dark Heart Seal, so they weren''t affected by the Little World of Illusions.


    Weng~ Weng!


    Zhao Feng controlled ten Bee Emperors and made them approach the two larger Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers. The other Bee Kings and Emperors stalled the remaining Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers.


    The Little World of Illusions was very effective in splitting the opponents up.


    "Human, you''re courting death!" the leading Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger roared as it charged toward Zhao Feng.


    These two Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers were able to interact with Zhao Feng with their mental energy. From this, he could see how strong their Soul Intent was. Zhao Feng''s Little World of Illusions was very ineffective against them.


    Physical Force Lightning Domain!


    Zhao Feng didn''t dare to be arrogant against two peak Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers; he immediately used his Physical Force Lightning Domain.


    Boom! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The pressure of the Sacred Lightning Body appeared around Zhao Feng alongside the power of limitless lightning. Zhao Feng''s strength was increased within the Physical Force Lightning Domain, while the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers would be heavily pressured and restricted by lightning.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng ordered the ten Bee Emperors to charge at the two Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers while he also charged at one of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leaders as well.


    Hu~ Shua! Shua!


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s claws glittered with a scarlet-golden light as it slashed forward. Zhao Feng saw this attack coming with the ability of his left eye, and he quickly thrust out one palm, blocking the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s claw.


    Boom!


    A couple Five Poison Distinct Bees stung the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger.


    "As I thought, it''s not very effective!"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye saw the injuries to the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger. The venom from the Bee Emperors didn''t do much damage to the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger.


    Even though the Five Poison Distinct Bees were ancient insects, they were heavily restricted when facing a true member of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng made the other Five Poison Distinct Bees attack. Although the venom wasn''t very effective, it added up and could become critically dangerous.


    "Mental Energy Spike!"


    A thin purple-golden crystalline spike of lightning shot out from Zhao Feng''s left eye and stabbed into the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s soul.


    Roar!


    This Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger howled in pain and froze in mid-air.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and the Five Poison Distinct Bees used this chance to attack.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!"


    Zhao Feng circulated his power and contracted the Physical Force Lightning Domain into his palm, unleashing the strongest Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm in his life.


    Boom!


    An enormous scarlet-golden palm with countless arcs of lightning pushed toward the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger.


    Roar~


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leader felt that something was wrong and instantly activated its bloodline. Scarlet-golden lightning flashed around it, and its physical power increased severalfold.


    Roar!


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leader clashed with Zhao Feng''s Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm and released a terrifying force that actually stopped Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Palm.


    "Dark Soul Charge!"


    Seeing that the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leader was so fierce, Zhao Feng used a simple soul attack.


    Whoosh!


    After being attacked by Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent, the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger was instantly sent flying into the stone walls behind it.


    Weng~ Weng~


    The Five Poison Distinct Bees instantly followed up and stung the critical parts of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s body.


    "Dark Heart Seal!"


    Zhao Feng suddenly formed a purple-and-gold symbol of lightning and imprinted it into the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s mind.


    Roar~~


    The severely injured Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger instantly started to howl, and it released a surge of terrifyingly fierce battle-intent. Zhao Feng''s Dark Heart Seal failed.


    "I need to finish this fight as quickly as possible!"


    Zhao Feng had a decisive expression. This pack of Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers had two abnormally powerful Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, and the other one almost killed the other five Bee Emperors.


    "Gaze of the God Eye!"


    Stunning Eye Intent came from Zhao Feng''s left eye and formed a bottomless purple whirlpool that reached the other side and linked to a misty purple illusion. A forbidden force covered the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger and started to pull out its soul.


    This forbidden power seemed to come from a God. One couldn''t go against it or fight back at all.


    "Human, what is this!?"


    This Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leader felt that it had lost control of its soul, and panic appeared in its eyes for the first time. It was as if, no matter how it struggled, it was unable to stop its soul from being pulled out.

 1048 Breakthrough Opportunity

    Chapter 1048 - Breakthrough Opportunity


    Zhao Feng faced one of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leaders on the edge of the Little World of Illusions.


    "Human, what is this!?"


    This Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leader felt that it had lost control of its soul and that it was starting to leave its body. Fear and panic appeared in its eyes.


    Weng~ Weng!


    The Five Poison Distinct Bees around Zhao Feng continued to sting the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger. The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger struggled, but it was unable to stop the fate of its soul being sucked out.


    A scarlet-golden tiger-shaped Yuan Soul was slowly pulled out from its body.


    "Human, don''t even think about it!" The Yuan Soul of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger struggled and roared.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly as an even more powerful Soul Intent appeared in his left eye, increasing the power of the Gaze of the God Eye.


    "You''re a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes? No, this eye¡­!"


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger was unable to fight back, and it looked at Zhao Feng''s eye in fear. According to its memories, the bloodlines of the Eight Great God Eyes were comparable to the top ten bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. The bloodlines of the Eight Great God Eyes descendants wouldn''t be much weaker.


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger thought of the bloodlines of the Eight Great God Eyes as terrifying existences, whereas its own bloodline was one of the very weakest amongst the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger never expected that it would meet someone with such a noble bloodline.


    However, the eye of this human didn''t seem to be from any one of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    Shua!


    Due to its panic and fear, the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s resistance dropped even more, and it was sucked into the dimension of Zhao Feng''s God Eye.


    Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng ordered the nearby Five Poison Distinct Bees to help support the other battles while his consciousness entered the God Eye dimension.


    In the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye, the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s soul was even more scared, and Zhao Feng could do anything he wanted to it.


    "Dark Heart Seal!"


    A dark purple seal of lightning formed from Zhao Feng''s left eye and slowly imprinted into the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s soul. The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger didn''t struggle much; it just let Zhao Feng place the Dark Heart Seal into its soul.


    "From the looks of it, this Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger thinks that I have a very noble bloodline, so it''s willing to serve me. Otherwise, I would have needed to spend a lot more time and effort."


    Zhao Feng started to think.


    From this, one could see that the races in the Ancient Dream Realm placed great importance on bloodlines. In reality, Zhao Feng didn''t have a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, he only had the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, an Imperial Dao bloodline.


    Shua!


    With a thought, Zhao Feng put the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s soul back into its body. At the same time, Zhao Feng took out some Hundred Origin Fruit Juice and smeared it onto the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s injuries. The Hundred Origin Fruit Juice was effective even against the Five Poison Distinct Bees'' venom.


    "Human, what did you just do!?"


    The other Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger charged toward Zhao Feng and sent out a wave of mental energy.


    Weng! Weng!


    Several Bee Emperors tried to block it by continuously stinging it.


    Roar~~


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger that Zhao Feng just enslaved suddenly roared.


    "I am willing to serve my master. If you are willing to follow me, serve master alongside me!" the enslaved Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger said.


    "Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, let''s kill this human and save the expert of our race!" The other large Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger could obviously guess what Zhao Feng was doing, and it roared out loud.


    Zhao Feng smiled. He had already thought about it when attacking the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger pack; even if he managed to enslave the leaders, he wouldn''t be able to control the entire pack. Because they were from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, they were different from normal beast packs in the continent.


    However, now that Zhao Feng had this powerful Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger, he wouldn''t need to be scared of the remaining Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers.


    "Let''s go!"


    Zhao Feng charged out with the enslaved Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger and went to attack the other Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger that just yelled.


    "Human, you''re shameless!" the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger roared in anger, but it wasn''t able to last very long against Zhao Feng and the other Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger together. Injuries soon covered its body, and it lost the ability to fight.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng sucked its soul into the dimension of his left eye and slowly imprinted a dark purple God Tribulation Lightning symbol into its soul. The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger struggled for a little bit, but its soul became very weak after a while and was finally successfully enslaved by Zhao Feng.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng gave the order, and the two strongest Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers defeated the other Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers in the Little World of Illusions one by one.


    Zhao Feng managed to finally enslave all of Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, but one of the weaker ones died to the venom.


    More than forty of Zhao Feng''s Five Poison Distinct Bees died in the fight. No Bee Kings survived.


    This was all within Zhao Feng''s expectations, but he actually managed to obtain a Ten Thousand Ancient Races pack in the end. The potential of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger was many times higher than the Five Poison Distinct Bees.


    "This will be the first army of mine in the Ancient Dream Realm!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes were tough and full of battle-intent. With these Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, Zhao Feng believed that he would be able to obtain more fortune within the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng then looked at the pond after the fight with the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers ended. The water in the pond was so clear that one could see through it. It seemed like it was alive, and it gave off a cool and calm feeling.


    When Zhao Feng fought with the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers just now, this pond remained calm and wasn''t affected at all.


    "Master, the water within the pond is beneficial to both lifeforce and the soul. It can get rid of the impurities within one''s bloodline and increase the chances of the bloodline Returning to its Ancestors. Furthermore, it''s extremely easy to gather it," the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leader explained.


    "It''s beneficial to the soul as well?"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled. He was faintly surprised; most treasures in the world focused only on one aspect. For example, the Immortal Springs Wine could increase one''s lifespan and state of existence, while the Illusion God Wine focused on the soul.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but walk forward and take a sip. A cold rush instantly entered Zhao Feng''s body and merged into his limbs and organs.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng''s lifeforce seemed to be cleansed by a stream of clear water. His physical force momentarily increased and became more refined. The power of this pond then reached the depths of Zhao Feng''s soul. It was as if Zhao Feng had entered a world of water. His state of heart was extremely calm, and the Intents of Heaven and Earth around him appeared.


    "What a stunning effect!"


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes after this sensation disappeared with shock.


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers had lived in the Ancient Dream Realm and drank this water for a very long time, so the effect of this water might be weaker on them, but Zhao Feng didn''t come from the Ancient Dream Realm, and this was his first time drinking this water. He could feel how effective this pond water was; it was better than a combination of the Immortal Springs Wine and the Illusion God Wine, and it was effective for those with higher cultivation.


    "This pond might be my breakthrough point to the Mystic Light Realm!"


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. Treasures that focused on the soul were extremely rare, and it was even rarer to find something that was useful for Quasi-Sacred Lords and Sacred Lords.


    "But the effect of this water will first go to the state of existence and body before entering the soul," Zhao Feng analyzed. Zhao Feng''s body had reached the level of a Sacred Lord, he just lacked the Intent. It would be best if he could make this pond water directly go to his Soul Intent.


    Zhao Feng took out the Green Spiritual Gourd and took away some of the pond water.


    "Guard this place!" Zhao Feng ordered the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and then left.


    "What kind of ability is this!? Where did master go!?"


    The gaze of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger froze. It couldn''t sense Zhao Feng''s aura within a thousand miles of here.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes in the forbidden palace of the Hall of Gods.


    "Now that I''ve found the opportunity to break through to the Mystic Light Realm, I need to make some preparations!" Zhao Feng murmured gently.


    If one failed to break through to the Mystic Light Realm, the chances of breaking through in the future would become even lower. Zhao Feng didn''t dare to casually test it even if he had the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that Kun Yun and Nine Darkness Palace posed a lot of pressure, Zhao Feng might just solidify his foundation for another ten years before trying to break through.


    Bi Qingyue''s voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "Master, Nine Darkness Palace has started to take action; they''re increasing the protection around the assassination targets. At the same time, they''ve put up a bunch of missions focusing on the Hall of Gods¡­."


    Bi Qingyue reported a lot of information to Zhao Feng through the Dark Heart Seal.


    With the increased protection from Nine Darkness Palace, the difficulty of the missions that Zhao Feng set up just became a level higher.


    Nine Darkness Palace also set assassination missions for the upper echelon of the Hall of Gods. The targets were easier to kill, but the rewards given weren''t as precious as the Blood Essence Pill or the Spiritual Blood Core Pill.


    However, Nine Darkness Palace''s actions still damaged the Hall of Gods.


    "The clash with Nine Darkness Palace is unstoppable¡­."


    Although Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had been scared away by Zhao Feng last time and Nine Darkness Palace hadn''t done a lot directly, the feud between the two forces only increased. When it reached a certain level, Nine Darkness Palace would definitely send out an even stronger force to attack Zhao Feng.


    Furthermore, Black Screen Corner seemed to be very interested in the two pills, and they sent many experts to scout the Hall of Gods.


    However, since the materials used to create the pills were supplied by Zhao Feng and refined by Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit, normal people couldn''t get close. It was almost impossible for them to learn anything.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng jumped out and arrived at Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit''s Pill Refining Center.


    "Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit, I want you to create pills that can tempt Sacred Lords!" Zhao Feng said.


    Now that Nine Darkness Palace had taken action, Zhao Feng needed to do so as well or else the one that would lose would definitely be the Hall of Gods.


    "The flesh and bloodlines of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers might not be enough, unless you give me even more precious flesh and bloodlines."


    Sacred Doctor looked at Zhao Feng with expectancy. She had received three Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers from Zhao Feng. Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit couldn''t imagine where Zhao Feng was obtaining these Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, and she was slightly regretful that she agreed to Zhao Feng so easily. She may have been able to get more out of Zhao Feng.


    "Try this!"


    Zhao Feng took out a flask of water from the pond in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "What a weird liquid!"


    Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit''s eyes flashed. This was the first time she had seen such a unique liquid. The water was extremely clear, and it gave off a calm sensation. The Intent of a Sacred Lord would only make it ripple.


    "You can try a bit of it!" Zhao Feng said.


    In order to refine this "pond water," Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit first needed to understand it.


    Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit took a gulp and closed her eyes as a clear and calm sensation filled her body. It was as if she had entered a profound state.

 1049 Breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm 1

    Chapter 1049 - Breaking Through to the Mystic Light Realm (1)


    Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit opened her eyes after a long time, and shock filled her eyes.


    The effect of this mysterious pond water was incredulous. She had taken just a small sip, and her state of existence increased. Her Soul Intent was refined, and her soul strength became calm.


    If she started to refine pills at this instant, Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit was confident that she could create even higher graded pills.


    "I''m confident that I can create what Little Friend wants with this liquid and the bloodline of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers," Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit said after calming down.


    She finally realized that she had underestimated this junior. Every time Zhao Feng took out something, it was something that the continent zone didn''t have. It moved her.


    "Since Senior is refining pills for the Hall of Gods, Senior will be treated like all the other members and rewarded for your contribution!" Zhao Feng knew that Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit would be very interested in the mysterious pond water, so he said this with a faint smile.


    Although there was an entire pond of this liquid within the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng didn''t dare to take it all out or else it would just fuel Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit''s greed.


    Zhao Feng then left the Pill Refining Building and returned to his own place.


    "Bi Qingyue, send me information on the front lines and the information needed for one to break through to the Mystic Light Realm!" Zhao Feng ordered directly through the Dark Heart Seal, and someone arrived the next day with everything that Zhao Feng wanted.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. All the intel floated in the air and started to flip by itself.


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms has returned to the battlefield, forcing all the Sacred Lords around Meng City to gather together to stop him. A late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord from the Lan Province War Hall then appeared and defeated him¡­."


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly. As expected, after Sacred Lord Myriad Forms recovered, he returned to the battlefield in order to take revenge against Zhao Feng.


    This time though, the Lan Province War Hall was ready; they had already given the order for all the Sacred Lords nearby to gather at Meng City in order to block Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. The Thirteenth Prince couldn''t stop the order even if he wanted to!


    At last, a late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord arrived and defeated Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. This was why Meng City wasn''t lost.


    However, because of the clash between Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and the late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord, the war was becoming more dangerous. Sacred Lords at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm were starting to appear, and those at the Small Origin Core Realm slowly retreated and became back-ups.


    "Yufei is also on the battlefield?"


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed. When looking closer, he realized that the date Zhao Yufei arrived at the battlefield was right when he left.


    Because of her bloodline, Zhao Yufei''s cultivation speed was extremely fast; she had already broken through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    Although Zhao Yufei stayed at the Thirteenth Prince''s city in order to gain more experience, she had also helped the Thirteenth Prince obtain a lot of war points in doing so.


    The bottom levels of the two lord dynasties had big losses. The number of people fighting decreased while the grade of the war increased. The middle-upper echelon members of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty were starting to enter the fight as well. For example, Xuanyuan Wen, Luo Zun, Shi Yulei, Ji Bai, Jiang Hao, and the various geniuses that entered the Crown Prince trial also started to appear on the battlefield.


    Zhao Feng then flipped through the situation of the other two provinces. It was basically the same as Lan Province.


    After reading through the information on the front lines, Zhao Feng started to read through the information regarding how to break through to the Mystic Light Realm. The information was written by experts that had successfully broken through to the Mystic Light Realm. Each stroke of comprehension was different from the rest.


    Zhao Feng knew a lot more things about what he needed to do after reading the intel.


    Zhao Feng firstly took out some Fire-elemental resources and used the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique to consolidate the Fire of Wind Lightning. The Crystal Core within his dantian was smoother and harder. A three-colored True Yuan of lightning spun around his Crystal Core dimension.


    The next day, when Zhao Feng opened his eyes, the aura radiating from him was suddenly stronger.


    "I''ve reached the limit of the Fire of Wind Lightning."


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    Whoosh!


    The next instant, Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the Ancient Dream Realm.


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers were used to Zhao Feng suddenly disappearing and reappearing.


    Zhao Feng took a few gulps from the pond, then opened his God''s Spiritual Eye to enter a state of cultivation.


    Zhao Feng could now suppress his state of existence and body so that the pond water was more effective on his soul. He opened his God''s Spiritual Eye in order to increase the level of his comprehension as well.


    "The effect of it isn''t obvious enough!"


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes after a long time. The pond water still cleansed Zhao Feng''s body first before using a small amount of its energy on his soul.


    "Why don''t I just do this¡­?" Zhao Feng suddenly said, and a dark purple soul body covered with white lightning jumped into the pond.


    Zhao Feng''s soul split away from his body. His soul then entered the pond, thus it wouldn''t waste anything on his physical body.


    "It''s effective!"


    The moment his Lightning Soul Body entered the pond, Zhao Feng could analyze that the water in the pond was very effective. A cold sensation suddenly swept across Zhao Feng''s soul.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng''s senses and reactions became a lot stronger. It was as if he had entered a limitless world where time flowed slowly.


    Zhao Feng could feel his Divine Sense and consciousness slowly spreading through the broad Heaven and Earth. Small changes to the world could be instantly sensed by Zhao Feng. Surges of Heaven and Earth''s laws and the power of Intent merged into Zhao Feng''s mind.


    Zhao Feng became immersed in this feeling and felt like his body was becoming deeper and deeper, as if it was ten thousand yards underwater. He needed to remain silent and focus on cultivation and comprehension.


    Some of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers looked at Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body sitting in the middle of the pond in the Ancient Dream Realm. The aura coming from Zhao Feng started to become weaker, but the flow of power from the God Tribulation Lightning also became weaker, as if it would stop at any moment.


    The Dark Heart Seals within the two larger Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers loosened for a moment.


    Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye started to twitch, and it released an ancient and desolate aura. Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body instantly released a powerful aura, and the nearby dozens of Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers revealed looks of fear as they trembled on the ground.


    However, this desolate aura only appeared for an instant before disappearing.


    "Master indeed has one of the peak Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines!" the leader of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers murmured.


    "So close!" Zhao Feng suddenly opened his eyes as his soul flew out of the pond and returned to his body. Only after waking up did he realize how dangerous the situation just was. His soul had almost entered eternal sleep, but luckily, the God''s Spiritual Eye saved him.


    "This is still too dangerous!"


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. Once the soul left the body, it would slowly weaken.


    Only if Zhao Feng''s soul body reached an extremely high level would it be able to stay outside his body for extended periods.


    The unique power within the pond was too strong; the cool and calm sensation kept on eroding Zhao Feng''s consciousness, almost freezing it completely.


    "However, my level of comprehension has almost reached the level of the Mystic Light Realm now!"


    Fortune came alongside disaster. The possibility of death allowed Zhao Feng''s level of comprehension to increase to a level that it had never reached before.


    "I can try to break through to the Mystic Light Realm now!"


    Zhao Feng''s gaze was deep as he disappeared from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm was a long process; it needed at least a month or two, and it could reach up to six months. Therefore, Zhao Feng needed to prepare everything before he entered seclusion.


    Zhao Feng first told Bi Qingyue and Sacred Emperor Dark Night the news of Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit making new pills. When they were made, they could set up even more difficult assassination tasks.


    Zhao Feng only told Bi Qingyue, who was in charge of the Hall of Gods, the news of him entering seclusion to attempt a breakthrough to the Mystic Light Realm. He told her not to disturb him under any circumstances.


    Within the hall, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and released control of his body as his consciousness entered a place very far away.


    Within a ghastly palace in the Darkness Ghost Clan, a purple-golden light suddenly flashed through the eyes of the wicked and evil-looking Zhao Wang.


    The instant Zhao Feng''s consciousness arrived in Zhao Wang''s body, he knew everything that had happened. Zhao Wang was now the number one Core disciple of the Darkness Ghost Clan and had just become a King. However, Zhao Wang''s Soul Intent had long ago reached the level of an Emperor, and normal Emperors wouldn''t be able to sense this.


    In addition, the Grand Elder of the Darkness Ghost Clan was the elder that tried to assassinate Zhao Feng, but he left a few days after coming back. This meant that, as long as Zhao Wang didn''t reveal too much, the Darkness Ghost Clan wouldn''t be able to sense anything.


    The Darkness Ghost Clan placed a lot of importance on Zhao Wang. The martial brothers and sisters all sucked up to Zhao Wang while the Regulators and Elders all cared about Zhao Wang. In their hearts, Zhao Wang was someone that would definitely become an Elder in the future, and he might even be able to break through to the Mystic Light Realm and lead the Darkness Ghost Clan to the pinnacle.


    After confirming the situation with Zhao Wang, Zhao Feng started the array near his residence and blocked out everything.


    Zhao Feng took out the Green Spiritual Gourd and drank a few sips of pond water. A cold and calm power flowed throughout Zhao Feng''s body and soul.


    "This doesn''t seem to be enough!"


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. Maybe it was because his soul had been soaked in the pond before, but the effect of the pond water wasn''t as strong now.


    Gulu! Gulu!


    Zhao Feng had to take another few sips before entering a profound state.


    ¡­


    Five days later, Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit managed to craft an entirely new pill with the pond water and the Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline. Supreme Emperor Dark Night came in person to take it away.


    "Hehe, my mastery of the Dao of the Pill seems to have improved here!"


    Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit was very satisfied by the Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pill that she made.


    Another few days passed, and a new mission was set up in the Silence Assassination Division. The number of assassins here was only below that of Black Screen Corner, and it was now ranked as the second-best assassination organization.


    When these missions were set up, the entire assassination world was shaken. Some of the legendary assassins that had been silent for a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, were woken up and appeared to the world again.


    The reward for the assassinations this time was a treasure named the Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pill. It could increase one''s lifespan and the purity of one''s bloodline. It also helped one''s soul and slightly increased the chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    Because of the Spiritual Blood Core Pills and Blood Essence Pills, no one doubted the effect of the Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pills.


    However, there were only three missions that gave out this reward, and the targets were all Quasi-Sacred Lord rank experts that had a possibility of becoming a Sacred Lord.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night and Bi Qingyue had discussed this together. Three was the limit of missions they could set at this level!

 1050 Breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm 2

    Chapter 1050 - Breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm (2)


    Many arrays and guards protected the forbidden grounds at the back of the Hall of Gods. It was extremely quiet, as if nothing existed there.


    Wisps of three-colored Wind Lightning occasionally flickered from one of the secret halls. At this moment in time, a blue, green, and red True Yuan started to spin within Zhao Feng''s Crystal Core.


    At a certain point, a crack appeared in the space above the Crystal Core. Wisps of three-colored True Yuan started to leak into Zhao Feng''s body, but most of the True Yuan of Wind Lightning stayed in the Crystal Core dimension below and kept on spinning around.


    "I first need to break the Crystal Core dimension and direct out some of my True Yuan, then merge the laws of Heaven and Earth that I control into my ocean of True Yuan¡­."


    Zhao Feng opened his God''s Spiritual Eye and calculated every step precisely.


    ¡­


    When Zhao Feng entered seclusion, the missions that the Silence Assassination Division set up made them the center of attention for all the assassination forces.


    In one of the mission areas of the Silence Assassination Division:


    "Some interesting missions have finally arrived!"


    A wicked and cruel smile appeared on Nan Gongsheng''s face. With Emperor Withered Shadow''s guidance, he knew the process of being an assassin very well, but he wasn''t interested in any of the normal missions.


    The nearby assassins all let out a breath after Nan Gongsheng left.


    "Who is this person? His strength is immeasurable!"


    "Could it be a super assassin that came back? How else can they have such a strong killing intent!?"


    "From the looks of it, that person is eyeing the three new missions!"


    Some of the assassins revealed frightful looks toward Nan Gongsheng, but their attention was soon directed back to the Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pill.


    The rewards given out by this mysterious force would create chaos every time. The Spiritual Blood Core Pill, the Blood Essence Pill, and the Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pill all raised a lot of attention. The Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pill was something that even normal Sacred Lords couldn''t resist.


    However, such plentiful rewards came alongside danger. These three new missions were enough to make over 90% of the assassins stop their footsteps.


    Nine Darkness Palace had already taken action and started to protect those on the killing list. An assassin had killed an important member of Nine Darkness Palace not long ago and was immediately killed by the upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace after claiming the Blood Essence Pill. Before he could even use the Blood Essence Pill, Nine Darkness Palace took it.


    Furthermore, the targets themselves this time were strong; they were part of the middle-upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace. One could imagine how difficult these missions would be.


    However, there would always be people willing to do the deed as long as the price was right. Some that were in a rush to break through to the Emperor level or Quasi-Sacred Lord level might give it a try. After all, treasures that could help increase one''s chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm were far too rare.


    Nine Darkness Palace, located within the Nine Darkness Mountains, was enraged after the Silence Assassination Division set these missions.


    The atmosphere within a secret hall in Nine Darkness Palace was extremely tense.


    "The Hall of Gods is becoming too arrogant. They''ve actually set out missions focusing on the upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace!"


    "Hmph, they''re just being cocky. A newly-created force dares to fight against Nine Darkness Palace!?"


    Several enraged voices sounded in the hall. The owners of these voices were at least Emperors or Quasi-Sacred Lords, and most of them were experts at the Mystic Light Realm. One could imagine how angry Nine Darkness Palace was.


    "I wonder if the Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pill is really as effective as its description!" a Quasi-Sacred Lord murmured in a low tone.


    "Hmph!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss suddenly snickered coldly, and everyone went silent.


    Nine Darkness Palace retaliated in the same manner as the Hall of Gods and set many assassination missions, but since their rewards weren''t as good as the ones given by the Hall of Gods, it wasn''t very effective. With the appearance of the Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pill, even some of the Quasi-Sacred Lords from Nine Darkness Palace were tempted.


    "Reporting to Elder Demonic Abyss!" A peak Emperor half-knelt on the ground below.


    "According to our intel, Zhao Feng hasn''t appeared for more than a month, and the forbidden grounds at the back of the Hall of Gods suddenly became heavily guarded."


    Many of the Elders present started to think. Could the Hall of Gods be taking some sort of new action?


    "According to some of the information we found, this subordinate thinks that Zhao Feng might be trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm!" the peak Emperor continued.


    Whoosh!


    In an instant, many of the experts no longer concealed their auras, and the entire hall became tense as space itself seemed to freeze. Some Emperors found it hard to breathe, and their consciousness became blurry.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that this scout had mentioned Zhao Feng''s cultivation, many of the people present would have forgotten that Zhao Feng was only a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    A Quasi-Sacred Lord managed to build such a large organization and force Nine Darkness Palace into such a desperate situation. Furthermore, everyone present knew Zhao Feng''s battle-power. He would become far more troublesome if he became a Sacred Lord!


    "Can he succeed?" a male with red hair and black robes asked in a deep voice. Everyone paused for a moment; Zhao Feng was only twenty-something years old, and the age of his soul was only thirty-something. Was it possible for there to be such a young Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord?


    "Which elder is willing to come with me to the Hall of Gods!?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' voice sounded. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss believed that Zhao Feng had at least a 60% chance of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm. One had to know that it was already incredible for normal Emperors or Quasi-Sacred Lords to have a 40% chance of breaking through.


    "Elder Demonic Abyss, I am willing to accompany you!" the male with red hair and black robes said in a cold voice. He had gone to the True Martial Sacred Land before but failed to kill Nan Gongsheng, so he was extremely frustrated.


    "Sure. Sacred Lord Evil Caster, Sacred Lord Wicked Truth, follow me and let us trample the Hall of Gods!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss laughed coldly.


    He was originally extremely wary of Zhao Feng''s God Slaying Arrow, but if Zhao Feng was really trying to break through, he would die at the very last critical point of breaking through regardless of whether or not he had a God Slaying Arrow.


    It wasn''t just Nine Darkness Palace that was stunned by the missions that the Silence Assassination Division set up. Elsewhere, Black Screen Corner also summoned a secret meeting.


    Several figures in black floated around a hall in an underground palace.


    "The recent actions from the Hall of Gods have had a big impact on Black Screen Corner!" an elder covered in gray light said in a raspy voice at the center of the hall.


    The hall was dead-silent. It was obvious that, while they had done a lot to stop the Hall of Gods, their methods weren''t very effective. The Silence Assassination Division had set another group of missions recently that attracted away a large group of assassins from Black Screen Corner.


    "Elder Bing, are we going to attack the Hall of Gods?" a figure in black with a powerful aura asked carefully.


    "Idiot, Black Screen Corner is a neutral force. How can we attack other forces? If we do, all the other forces in the lord dynasty will think we are teaming up with Nine Darkness Palace!" The elder''s voice was slightly angry.


    One of the reasons why Black Screen Corner could expand to such a size was because of its neutral attitude. If Black Screen Corner attacked a competitor, it was the same as digging their own grave.


    Everyone knew that the Hall of Gods was the one with the biggest feud with Nine Darkness Palace. They could confirm that these assassination missions were set by the Hall of Gods in the Silence Assassination Division.


    The hall instantly became silent again.


    "My grandson needs some Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pills. I''ll go to the Hall of Gods personally in a while!" the elder covered in gray light suddenly said before disappearing.


    "I didn''t expect Sacred King Dark Screen to personally take action!"


    "The problems of Black Screen Corner should be easily solved!"


    ¡­


    At this moment, Bi Qingyue''s eyebrows furrowed in the Hall of Gods as they organized the intel.


    "From the looks of it, news of Master trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm has leaked!"


    Bi Qingyue felt her body become heavy.


    "Come!" Bi Qingyue said out loud, and a guard soon entered the hall.


    "Send these letters out!" Bi Qingyue handed over a few letters.


    The aura coming from the forbidden grounds at the back of the Hall of Gods started to become even more terrifying after a few days. All the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within ten thousand miles of the Hall of Gods started to gather and made the air feel heavy.


    No array was able to stop the scenery created by one trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm!


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    On this day, the sound of flying appeared above the Hall of Gods as surges of powerful auras one after another arrived before the Hall of Gods.


    "Hall of Gods, Dark Sky Gate comes to visit!"


    Sacred Lord Dark Ghost revealed an evil smile. He led the members of Dark Sky Gate directly into the territory of the Hall of Gods without even being approved. The guards at the front weren''t able to stop Sacred Lord Dark Ghost, and on top of that, he said that they were simply here for a "visit."


    Several more figures flew in from the distance.


    "Isn''t this Sacred Lord Dark Ghost?" A cold laughter sounded, and a bald elder with a powerful aura leading several peak Emperors slowly flew over.


    "Isn''t this the Grand Elder of the Black Radiant Clan?" Sacred Lord Dark Ghost asked with a smile.


    The Black Radiant Clan was also a subordinate force of Nine Darkness Palace, located in Yu Province. Over the past couple days, the Black Radiant Clan had been living in constant fear. The three upper-echelon members of the Black Radiant Clan were all on the assassination list, and one of them had already been killed.


    Three days later:


    "Hall Master Bi, Duke Nanfeng is here!" A guard wearing golden armor spoke next to Duke Nanfeng.


    Duke Nanfeng''s gaze was deep as he scanned around with his Divine Sense. He found several powerful auras and confirmed that Zhao Feng was indeed truly breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    If it wasn''t for Bi Qingyue''s letter, Duke Nanfeng wouldn''t believe that Zhao Feng was already trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    "Duke, please come this way!" A group of guards immediately came forward and spoke in a respectful tone.


    Another few days passed, and all the experts in the Hall of Gods felt a terrifying Demonic Dao aura appear.


    "Hall of Gods, you shall give me an explanation today!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss stood in the sky and spoke in a forceful tone as black light surrounded him.


    "Tell your Grand Elder to come out!"


    "Don''t tell me that the assassination missions targeting the upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace has nothing to do with you!"


    Sacred Lord Evil Caster and Sacred Lord Wicked Truth behind Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss released unlimited demonic aura as they charged toward the Hall of Gods.


    Right at this moment:


    Weng~~ Boom!


    Heaven and Earth above Zhao Feng''s residence shook as a three-colored divine light formed. It lit up the air and started to slowly form a three-colored whirlpool of blue, green, and red.

 1051 Breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm 3

    Chapter 1051 - Breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm (3)


    Heaven and Earth shook around the forbidden grounds at the back of the Hall of Gods as a three-colored divine light formed. It lit up the air and started to slowly form a three-colored whirlpool of blue, green, and red.


    The Demonic Dao aura spread by the three from Nine Darkness Palace was instantly pushed aside by this dominant force. The three-colored Sacred Light then started to expand and cover the skies. The center of the whirlpool seemed to be an endless hole that absorbed all the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within several dozen thousand miles.


    At this moment, close to ten forces of different size were gathered in the Hall of Gods, including Nine Darkness Palace, their forces, and the Hall of God''s subordinate forces.


    "Master is about to become a Sacred Lord!" Bi Qingyue''s heart shook.


    "Zhao Feng is about to become a Sacred Lord as well now!" Supreme Emperor Dark Night exclaimed and then sighed. What kind of level would Zhao Feng lead the Hall of Gods to after he broke through?


    "What a terrifying pressure of Heaven and Earth!" Sacred Lord Dark Ghost''s heart jumped. He was a Sacred Lord, but he was frightened by the force of someone merely trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    "This is interesting!" Nan Gongsheng, who was currently hiding nearby, revealed a wicked smile.


    Whoosh!


    Bi Qingyue and Supreme Emperor Dark Night flew outside with grim expressions.


    "Elder Demonic Abyss, Nine Darkness Palace has no evidence, but you''re going to forcefully blame it on other forces?"


    Bi Qingyue felt it hard to breathe against Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and company but still managed to speak.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night, Emperor Withered Shadow, and she were in charge of setting up the assassination missions. Zhao Feng had put the Dark Heart Seal in all three of them, so they couldn''t betray Zhao Feng unless Nine Darkness Palace captured them and searched their souls.


    Furthermore, Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit was also within the forbidden grounds. Nine Darkness Palace didn''t dare to capture her or else they would offend even more forces.


    "Then why are all these missions set up in the Silence Assassination Division?" Sacred Lord Evil Caster questioned.


    "There are also assassinations targeting Nine Darkness Palace in Black Screen Corner!" Supreme Emperor Dark Night said.


    Back when he and Zhao Feng had been discussing actions, they expected this, which was one of the other reasons they set up a small amount of assassination missions in Black Screen Corner.


    "Hmph, Nine Darkness Palace will obviously take out evidence!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss snickered coldly as black clouds formed in the air behind him. They seemed to turn into a desolate beast that gave off a forceful power.


    There would be evidence as long as he captured Bi Qingyue and Supreme Emperor Dark Night!


    "Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, what are you doing?" Duke Nanfeng instantly flew out from within the hall, and all the experts and forces within the hall appeared outside.


    "Duke Nanfeng¡­ you again!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' eyebrows furrowed, but he still circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power. There were no signs of him stopping.


    Because of Duke Nanfeng, he wasted time when trying to kill the forces of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion, which allowed the Sky Sword Pavilion to arrive and force him away.


    Duke Nanfeng had appeared to interfere with him once again.


    "Duke Nanfeng, Nine Darkness Palace won''t be responsible if we accidentally injure you!"


    Sacred Lord Wicked Truth, with his red hair and black robes, stood behind Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss with a cold expression. Sacred Lord Wicked Truth didn''t even bother looking at all the other small forces apart from Duke Nanfeng.


    A powerful mental energy aura suddenly appeared behind Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    "Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, are you here to cause trouble in Yu Province?" Sacred Lord Star Demon''s voice sounded.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Star Demon and two Quasi-Sacred Lord experts arrived beside Bi Qingyue. Sacred Lord Star Demon''s pair of dark purple eyes looked at Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss with a deep expression. He didn''t expect Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and two early-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord experts to come all the way from Nine Darkness Palace.


    "Sacred Lord Star Demon, are you sure the Ji Family wants to involve themselves in this matter?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' gaze was cold as he looked at Sacred Lord Star Demon.


    "This is Yu Province, and Little Friend Zhao Feng is the Ji Family''s esteemed guest!" Sacred Lord Star Demon said despite the invisible pressure.


    Although Sacred Lord Star Demon was only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm, his Soul Intent was incredibly strong, and he had the battle-power of an early-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord with his profound Soul eye-bloodline techniques. However, even though the enemy didn''t specialize in mental energy, the mental energy wave that came from Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss still made Sacred Lord Star Demon''s soul shake.


    "Looks like the Ji Family wants to go down the path of the Duanmu Family!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' cold voice sounded as a demonic power spread.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss wasn''t worried because of Sacred Lord Star Demon''s arrival because he was the only Sacred Lord that had come from the Ji Family. It wouldn''t really affect their plan. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss would even be able to use this reason to trouble the Ji Family in the future after finishing off the Hall of Gods.


    Sacred Lord Star Demon''s expression froze for a little bit. In the past, the Duanmu Family offended Nine Darkness Palace, and two of their Sacred Lords were killed by Nine Darkness Palace. This was why they had become so much weaker.


    "You two, stop Duke Nanfeng, the Ji Family, and the others," Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss messaged.


    The current battle-power of the Hall of Gods wasn''t enough to stop Nine Darkness Palaces.


    Whoosh!


    The three Sacred Lords of Nine Darkness Palace instantly took action, and a surge of terrifying Demonic aura instantly covered the Hall of Gods. All of the spectators with low cultivations immediately retreated. Even Bi Qingyue retreated far away because she knew that, once Nine Darkness Palace performed a soul search on her, they would be able to destroy the Hall of Gods "righteously."


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Evil Caster and Sacred Lord Wicked Truth charged toward Sacred Lord Star Demon and Duke Nanfeng. The forces that arrived at the Hall of Gods earlier, such as Sacred Lord Dark Ghost and the Grand Elder of the Black Radiant Clan, immediately stopped Supreme Emperor Dark Night, Old Monster Xu, and the upper battle-powers of the Hall of Gods.


    Hu~~


    The unstoppable Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss flew straight toward the forbidden grounds at the back of the Hall of Gods.


    As Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was about to approach the building that Zhao Feng was staying in:


    Weng~ Boom!


    A mountain suddenly exploded as a purple-and-blood-colored wicked light shot into the sky. A wicked purple-and-blood-colored flower also flashed in the air as a terrifying evil power exploded and charged toward Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    This sudden evil power made the nearby Quasi-Sacred Lords and Sacred Lords tremble and start to panic.


    Hu~


    A youth with purple-and-blood-colored hair and covered in similarly-colored flower tattoos blocked Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' path with a flash of silver light.


    "Nan Gongsheng!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss exclaimed as fury burned within him.


    Nine Darkness Palace had sent two upper echelon members to the True Martial Sacred Land to capture Nan Gongsheng, but they were scared back by the legendary Demigod Kun Yun. Nine Darkness Palace wouldn''t have caused trouble for Nan Gongsheng anymore if he just stayed in the True Martial Sacred Land, but now Nan Gongsheng had appeared in the Hall of Gods in the continent zone!


    "Nan Gongsheng¡­ is here!" Sacred Lord Wicked Truth''s eyes turned red as his red hair blew in the wind. He had gone to the True Martial Sacred Land to capture Nan Gongsheng but was scared away by Kun Yun.


    "That''s good. Today, the Purple-Haired Demonic Duo shall both be killed!"


    Black Mystic Light Sacred Power circulated through Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' body, and the black light around him suddenly started to spread like tentacles with intelligence. The terrifying pressure of the Demonic Dao was like an enraged ancient beast.


    As if sensing the fierce battle in the outside world, the speed of the three-colored whirlpool''s spinning in the sky started to increase. The Yuan Qi in the bodies of all the experts below started to disappear.


    Weng~ Boom! Boom!


    A forbidden aura that could suppress Heaven and Earth appeared from the three-colored whirlpool. The winds howled as the clouds blew.


    Weng~~


    Three condensed beams of Sacred Light within the large three-colored whirlpool suddenly descended onto a certain mountain peak. Yuan Qi in every direction seemed to be directed toward a certain place and gathered toward the three beams of Sacred Light.


    "His Sacred Power Whirlpool has successfully connected. No! We can''t let Zhao Feng break through!"


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss leapt out from the side of the explosion and sped toward where the three-colored Sacred light descended.


    Zhao Feng was at the last moment of his breakthrough.


    "Evil Devil Claw!" Nan Gongsheng extended his right arm, and the flower on his arm started to spread into limitless branches and leaves that finally formed a giant claw and ripped through the air.


    "Nan Gongsheng, fuck off!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss roared as countless black tentacles appeared and attacked Nan Gongsheng.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The two forces of evil clashed. The forbidden power contained within them was enough to devour anything and everything.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' footsteps paused for a moment. He didn''t expect Nan Gongsheng to improve so quickly; he was now able to fight back against a late-stage Mystic Light Realm with the power of the Evil God.


    Of course, if Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss attacked with his full power, Nan Gongsheng would definitely lose, but stopping Zhao Feng from breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm was the most important matter right now. Once Zhao Feng broke through, he would be able to turn the tide with his terrifying power.


    In addition, if Zhao Feng still really had a God Slaying Arrow, then Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss himself would be in danger. When thinking up to here, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss used a secret technique, and the tentacles turned into a barrier that guarded him.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss decided to not bother with Nan Gongsheng and just finish Zhao Feng off first.


    "Don''t even think about it!" Nan Gongsheng''s eyes turned dark purple, and a blood-colored flower seemed to appear.


    "I''ll leave the rest to you!" Nan Gongsheng prayed.


    "Kekeke, let me play with you!" Nan Gongsheng''s voice suddenly changed as the purple-and-blood-colored power of the Evil God started to become active. A purple-and-blood-colored light instantly shot toward Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    Boom!


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was pushed back a few steps, and the black barrier around him completely shattered.


    "The power of a God!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was stunned as he locked eyes with Nan Gongsheng. Although there was only a wisp of the Evil God''s power within the Mystic Light Sacred Power, it was enough to completely change the power.


    "Looks like the Evil Thought has taken over his body!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss started to think. After the Evil Thought took over Nan Gongsheng''s body, it would use his power uncontrollably.


    "Hmph, no one can stop me!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' expression was cold as he completely circulated his Demonic Dao Mystic Light Sacred Power. At the same time, a black whirlpool appeared behind Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, and a black figure jumped out.


    Boom!


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss charged directly at Nan Gongsheng after summoning his clone. Countless tentacles shot through space.


    The fierce battle made everyone else in the Hall of Gods retreat.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' clone laughed evilly as it sped toward Zhao Feng, who was sitting within the building at the top of the mountain. This clone had 60% of Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' strength and was even stronger than normal early-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss also laughed coldly. Nan Gongsheng had now lost his mind and only existed to fight. He wouldn''t catch onto any details. With no one guarding Zhao Feng, he would certainly die!


    "Zhao Feng, die!" A demonic tentacle extended out from the back of Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' clone and stabbed straight through the defensive array toward Zhao Feng''s head.


    Zhao Feng was being cleansed by the Sacred Power of Heaven and Earth. He felt the danger appear, but he wasn''t able to move nor use any part of his True Yuan or the Sacred Power. If he did so, it would destroy the Sacred Power Whirlpool.


    Just as the attack from Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' clone was about to pierce through Zhao Feng''s head, Zhao Feng''s left eye on his slightly angered face suddenly opened.

 1052 Fighting Demonic Abyss

    Chapter 1052 - Fighting Demonic Abyss


    The little thieving cat''s head appeared in a corner of the hall where Zhao Feng was in seclusion. When Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' clone attacked, the little thieving cat was about to take action, but it was stopped by Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng, who was bathed in three-colored Sacred Light, suddenly opened his left eye.


    Weng~~


    At this instant, countless golden ripples spread from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Weng! Weng! Weng!


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' clone was pierced through dozens of thousands of times by this golden light.


    Hu~~


    The dark clone suddenly turned into small atoms and became a layer of black mist that was absorbed into Zhao Feng''s left eye. Zhao Feng''s expression then calmed down as he continued to absorb the last of the Sacred Power that Heaven and Earth was giving him.


    The moment the Sacred Power within his body connected to the Sacred Power Whirlpool in the sky, his left eye had changed. The mysterious golden ball in the dimension of his left eye seemed to feel something and suddenly started to spin, giving off layers of mysterious golden light.


    Normally, if Zhao Feng used so much Light of Dispersion at once, his Eye Intent wouldn''t have been able to sustain it, but there were no signs of that happening right now. The golden ripples instinctively radiated without stopping.


    Apart from the mysterious golden ball, only the Demigod head containing the last bit of God Tribulation Lightning existed in the dimension of his God''s Eye. A twisting black matter had appeared out of nowhere above the mysterious golden ball next to the Demigod head.


    Weng! Weng!


    Surges of desolate aura from the center of the mysterious golden ball started to gather toward the dark light. When Zhao Feng opened his left eye, the golden ripples of light radiating from the mysterious golden ball were reflected into the outside world onto the clone. This meant that Zhao Feng hadn''t used any of his own power at all. All of it came from the left eye itself, which had just evolved.


    What Zhao Feng didn''t expect was that, after his Light of Dispersion destroyed Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' clone, the mysterious golden ball absorbed the power from that clone into the dimension of his left eye, and the energy started to merge into the twisting black matter in the air.


    After Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' clone was destroyed, the three-colored light in the air above Zhao Feng started to dim.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, who was still fighting against Nan Gongsheng in the air above the Hall of Gods, suddenly froze and looked downward.


    "My Nine Darkness Clone!" The veins on Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' face popped out as he roared. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had spent countless resources and effort on that clone. It was extremely hard to cultivate, and it was one of the supreme clone secret techniques of Nine Darkness Sacred Scroll.


    However, his clone was completely destroyed by the golden light that shot out of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "How is this possible? Wasn''t he at the last stage of trying to break through? How can he still use other powers!?" Sacred Lord Evil Caster''s heart shook. What just happened defied logic.


    "On top of that, his power instantly destroyed Elder Demonic Abyss'' clone!" Sacred Lord Wicked Truth looked at Zhao Feng, and fear sprouted in his heart. Even he didn''t understand the golden ripples that shot out of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "Zhao Feng!"


    Duke Nanfeng, Sacred Lord Star Demon, and company were stunned. They couldn''t understand what just happened either.


    "That golden ripple passed through both the physical and soul dimensions¡­." Purple-golden light flashed through Sacred Lord Star Demon''s eyes. This was the second time he had witnessed this skill, but he was still completely stunned and confused.


    Hu~~~


    At the same time, the speed of the spinning three-colored light in the sky started to slow down, and the last bit of three-colored Sacred Power descended into Zhao Feng''s body.


    Weng~~~ Zzzzzz!


    The three-colored Sacred Power within Zhao Feng''s body started to spin in a weird manner, and a dark yellow color suddenly appeared. Zhao Feng''s body was starting to slowly dim between flashing lights.


    The imagery of Heaven and Earth was starting to disappear!


    "So, this is a Sacred Body?"


    Zhao Feng felt his current body and found that it was extremely profound. The compatibility between his body, his Sacred Power, and his soul was very high. It was also connected to Heaven and Earth and could reduce all damage.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng leapt into the air and turned into a bolt of scarlet lighting that shot toward Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    "Dammit, he managed to break through!"


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' face was green, and his eyes bulged in anger. He didn''t expect Nan Gongsheng to be hiding in the Hall of Gods as well, and he never expected Zhao Feng''s eye to release a golden light and instantly destroy his clone at the last moment.


    Bam!


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss sent out a giant ball of black Sacred Power that landed on Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng spat out a mouthful of blood as his eyes returned to normal. After all, he was only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm. Even if he let the Evil God Mental Thought Body take over his body and use a wisp of the Evil God''s power, he was still no match for Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, who had lived for dozens of millennia.


    "Nan Gongsheng, thank you!"


    A calm Sacred Power caught Nan Gongsheng and gently put him down. Zhao Feng knew that Nan Gongsheng had tried so hard because he wanted to repay the favor from the Divine Illusion Dimension. Zhao Feng had helped Nan Gongsheng a lot and even allowed him to obtain the power of the Evil God in the end.


    "Sacred Lord Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, now that you''re here, don''t think about leaving!"


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes and looked at Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss. The moment he broke through to the Mystic Light Realm, the unusualness of his left eye also ended.


    "Zhao Feng, you think that you''re my match just because you broke through to the Mystic Light Realm?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss laughed. Now that everything had reached this stage already, he couldn''t turn back or else he and Nine Darkness Palace would become a laughing stock.


    Still, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was on guard against Zhao Feng. He would run away the instant Zhao Feng took out the God Slaying Arrow.


    "I also want to see how strong a late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord is!"


    Zhao Feng''s mouth curled upward. At this moment in time, Zhao Feng felt like he could control all the laws of Heaven and Earth. He could affect a certain area and unleash deadly power.


    Zhao Feng hadn''t adapted to the sudden increase in power and control over the laws. Even though Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was too strong, Zhao Feng needed a powerful opponent to consolidate and train himself against.


    "Do you not know how death is written after breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss laughed at Zhao Feng''s arrogance.


    Zhao Feng was indeed strong, but he only just become a Sacred Lord and most likely wasn''t familiar with the techniques and powers of Sacred Lords. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss wouldn''t be scared even if Zhao Feng managed to consolidate his cultivation.


    Shua!


    With a flash of light, a beam of black light shot toward Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Countless tentacles appeared around Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss when Zhao Feng approached. They shot toward Zhao Feng, and the projection of a Little World locked onto Zhao Feng as well.


    Boom! Shuuu~~~~


    Zhao Feng circulated the Sacred Lightning Body and became taller. Countless red symbols of lightning glittered, and golden light sparkled from his body. When one looked at him, one would think Zhao Feng was a golden God of War.


    After becoming a Sacred Lord, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body and his Sacred Body had combined, and all his aspects became stronger.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng evaded most of Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' attacks by using the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and the powerful inspection ability of his left eye.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!"


    Zhao Feng circulated his Wind Lightning Sacred Power and unleashed a scarlet-golden palm of lightning that contained Zhao Feng''s laws and Intents.


    Boom!


    The tentacles around Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss clashed with the Sacred Lightning Palm and released a storm of destruction.


    "This palm technique¡­!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' expression became grim. His tentacle attacks had been stopped by this palm.


    Weng~~


    The power of lightning from the Sacred Lightning Palm eroded the air.


    "Hmm? It can even affect my Little World!?"


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' expression changed. Zhao Feng''s palm was not simple.


    "Demonic Light Destruction!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss roared as all the tentacles gathered and attacked one certain spot.


    Boom! Peng!


    The tentacles instantly pierced through Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Palm and continued shooting toward Zhao Feng.


    "Physical Force Lightning Domain!"


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body instantly released terrifying power of lightning. Everything within a couple dozen miles fell into a bombardment of lightning and gravitational force. At the same time, a layer of lightning merged with the Wind Lightning Sacred Power, forming an ancient scarlet-golden barrier around Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Shu~~~


    Zhao Feng circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power at full force and merged the power within his Physical Force Lightning Domain into his Sacred Lightning Protection.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng was pushed back several miles by Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' technique. The barrier around him shattered and released a chaotic recoiling force, but that force was blocked by the tentacles before it could arrive.


    "You want to fight against a late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord with just this skill level?"


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss couldn''t help but laugh. Zhao Feng was several times stronger than normal initial-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords after breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, but he was still not a match.


    "You''re getting too happy too early!"


    A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' expression froze as he felt that something was wrong and quickly scanned around with his Divine Sense.


    Old Monster Xu''s and Supreme Emperor Dark Night''s opponents were suddenly defeated. The two of them then helped Duke Nanfeng and Sacred Lord Star Demon deal with Sacred Lord Evil Caster and Sacred Lord Wicked Truth.


    In that moment just now when Zhao Feng unleashed his attack against Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, he was paying some attention to Old Monster Xu and Supreme Emperor Dark Night. He circulated his Eye Intent to help them in secret and even used a Soul eye-bloodline technique at the critical moment.


    Since Zhao Feng had set the Dark Heart Seal in both Old Monster Xu and Supreme Emperor Dark Night, it wasn''t hard for him to do this.


    "Zhao Feng, you¡­!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss gritted his teeth in anger and was about to explode from rage. A Sacred Lord that just broke through wasn''t even using his full attention when fighting with him!?


    "Chaotic Dance of Beasts and Demons!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss roared as he spread his arms, and the Sacred Power Whirlpool within his body started to quickly spin. An even stronger Sacred Power appeared.


    Whoosh!


    Countless black tentacles condensed around Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss. Each one of them seemed to be a fearsome monster.


    "Not good, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss is using his ultimate techniques now!"


    Zhao Feng had a solemn expression. He just broke through, and his cultivation wasn''t steady yet. Even if he had time to consolidate his cultivation, he would most likely still be at a disadvantage if he fought with Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss head-on.


    Weng~~ Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng instantly released the projection of his Little World of Wind Lightning and the Physical Force Lightning Domain to weaken the force of Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' attack.


    "Zhao Feng, I''m here!" Nan Gongsheng''s cold voice sounded behind Zhao Feng.

 1053 Earth Demon Cul

    Chapter 1053 - Earth Demon Cult


    Just as Zhao Feng was facing pressure that he had never felt before:


    "Zhao Feng, I''m here!" Nan Gongsheng''s cold voice sounded behind Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Nan Gongsheng arrived next to Zhao Feng, and they stood side by side.


    Nan Gongsheng had been severely injured a moment ago after using so much power, but the recovery speed of Sacred Lords was extremely fast, and the Evil God inheritance that Nan Gongsheng obtained probably had many recovery techniques.


    The most important thing was that they were fighting against Nine Darkness Palace. Nan Gongsheng wasn''t willing to just lie down and watch.


    "Great!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression turned serious.


    Weng~~


    A large source of purple-and-blood-colored divine light spread behind Nan Gongsheng''s back and filled the air as it clashed with Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' Little World projection.


    "Dammit, these two brats¡­!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss gritted his teeth. Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning was already not simple; it contained a large amount of ancient power that he had comprehended from the storm in the Ancient Dream Realm. On the other hand, Nan Gongsheng''s Little World had merged with the Evil God Crystal and had the power of the Evil God. It was even more powerful and wicked.


    When the Little World projection of these two powers combined, it managed to actually gain the upper hand against Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' Little World projection.


    "Hand of the Evil Sky!"


    Two purple-and-blood-colored hands suddenly formed around Nan Gongsheng''s arms. Red flower tattoos extended across it.


    Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng waved his arms and destroyed countless tentacles. Zhao Feng didn''t show any signs of weakness either; with the protection of his Little World, he used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and destroyed all of the other tentacles nearby.


    Boom! Boom!


    The combined force of Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng managed to break through Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' Chaotic Dance of Beasts and Demons. They then pincer-attacked Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    "You two are courting death!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had an enraged expression as he circulated his Demonic Dao Mystic Light Sacred Power and clashed against with Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.


    Peng! Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body blocked Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' attack. Although he was slightly injured, he quickly recovered.


    On the other hand, Nan Gongsheng''s situation was a bit worse. He hadn''t fully recovered from before, and now he was even more injured.


    "What powerful Mystic Light Sacred Power!"


    Zhao Feng had a deep gaze. The difference between those at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm and the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm was rather big. When one''s Mystic Light Sacred Power became stronger, their Sacred Bodies also became stronger. This meant that, even though Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss hadn''t cultivated any body-strengthening techniques, his recovery speed was only a little bit weaker than Zhao Feng''s.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    A large amount of eye-bloodline power and fire surged from Zhao Feng''s left eye. Purple-and-gold light spun, and white-gold God Tribulation Lightning flashed.


    Whoosh!


    A completely transparent purple-and-gold lightning-fire with the Destructive aura of God Tribulation Lightning exploded onto Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' head.


    Zhao Feng''s Wind Lightning Eye Flame was a pure soul attack that was based on the God Tribulation Lightning, which he used because he knew physical attacks couldn''t damage Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had also been refined after he broke through to the Mystic Light Realm. Although his Soul Intent was only comparable to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, he was able to threaten Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss with his Soul eye-bloodline techniques and the God Tribulation Lightning.


    Boom!


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss felt ten thousand bolts of lightning boom down on his soul. The power of God Tribulation Lightning within the soul flame continued to burn.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng used this chance to attack.


    "Devil Sky Hand!" Nan Gongsheng combined the two Hands of the Evil Sky into one and smacked down with the Devil Sky Hand.


    Shua!


    Several marks were left behind on Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' Sacred body by Nan Gongsheng''s attack. His Mystic Light Sacred Power contained the power of the Evil God, which was extremely destructive against anything and everything. It also slowed down the opponent''s recovery speed.


    Zhao Feng circulated the power of ancient lightning within his Sacred Lightning Body and unleashed several scarlet-golden mountains of lightning that crushed toward Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    On the other side, Sacred Lord Evil Caster and Sacred Lord Wicked Truth were defeated. Although they were both at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm and were very strong, they weren''t a match for so many Sacred Lords.


    "Zhao Feng, we''re here!"


    Sacred Lord Star Demon, Duke Nanfeng, Old Monster Xu, Supreme Emperor Dark Night, and company immediately arrived after defeating Sacred Lord Evil Caster and Sacred Lord Wicked Truth.


    Peng! Boom! Bam!


    A wave of Mystic Light Sacred Power attacks landed on Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    "Dammit! Zhao Feng! Nan Gongsheng!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' face was pale-white. No matter how strong he was, he wouldn''t be a match against so many Sacred Lords. Furthermore, after taking Nan Gongsheng''s attack, the wisp of the Evil God''s power had damaged him, making his injuries even harder to recover from.


    Boom! Hu~~


    The tentacles around Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss stopped the attacks and pushed his body away.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss turned into a ball of black light and sped off. The tentacles behind him released a surge of black Mystic Light Sacred Power that increased Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' speed dramatically.


    Zhao Feng focused his eyes, and a faint undulation of mental energy flashed by as Zhao Feng left a Mark of the God Eye on Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss. Why would he let Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss escape? If it wasn''t for the fact that Nan Gongsheng was present and Zhao Feng''s left eye had suddenly evolved, the Hall of Gods and Zhao Feng might have been destroyed by Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss today.


    "Sky Locking Bow!"


    A dark silver bow suddenly appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, and a scarlet-golden arrow formed from Sacred Light condensed and shot through the air. The next instant, the arrow of light pierced through space and went directly through Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' chest.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' figure stopped as he circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power to destroy the arrow before continuing to fly.


    "Bi Qingyue, Supreme Emperor Dark Night, the two of you are responsible for cleaning up. Lock those two Nine Darkness Palace Sacred Lords and all the members of Dark Sky Gate and the Black Radiant Clan away!" Zhao Feng said in a rush.


    Weng~~ Whoosh!


    A pair of golden-red wings that could summon the power of Wind Lightning from Heaven and Earth formed behind Zhao Feng''s back. Zhao Feng''s figure flashed as he began chasing after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    "Zhao Feng''s actually chasing after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss!?"


    Sacred Lord Star Demon was stunned. From his perspective, it was already enough that they managed to defeat Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and send him running. If Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss wanted to run, none of the Sacred Lords here would be able to catch up. This meant that Zhao Feng would be the only person chasing after him, and that was too dangerous.


    "Zhao Feng, be careful!" Duke Nanfeng also disagreed with Zhao Feng chasing after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss. Although Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had been injured to a certain degree from their attacks, he was still a Sacred Lord of the Demonic Dao at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. He was extremely strong and cunning.


    "Lock them all up!" Bi Qingyue ordered, and many experts flew out from the Hall of Gods and used secret techniques to capture all the comrades and subordinates of Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    "Duke, please report this to the imperials!" Bi Qingyue arrived before Duke Nanfeng and said respectively.


    "Sure!" Duke Nanfeng replied. Zhao Feng chasing after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and capturing all these members of Nine Darkness Palace, Dark Sky Gate, and the Black Radiant Clan would definitely enrage Nine Darkness Palace. Only by reporting this to the imperials and letting the Grand Imperial Hall speak would Nine Darkness Palace be forced to stop.


    After all, the lord dynasty was currently at war, and the situation was bad. Being a peak three-star power of the lord dynasty, Nine Darkness Palace attacking another three-star power was the same as weakening the lord dynasty''s strength. The Grand Imperial hall would definitely stop this.


    ¡­


    In the clouds, one black and one red beam of Sacred Power were speeding across Heaven and Earth.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng occasionally pulled back his bowstring and released arrows of Sacred Light that contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    Bam!


    The next instant, another arrow of light pierced through Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' chest.


    "This junior has managed to control so much God Tribulation Lightning!?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss cried bitterly in his heart. He was extremely excited to see Zhao Feng chase after him and prepared to secretly recover his injuries, then kill Zhao Feng at the critical moment. However, Zhao Feng kept on using the Sky Locking Bow and releasing arrows that contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning, leaving him with injuries that took a long time to recover from.


    At the beginning, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss might have had the advantage if he tried to kill Zhao Feng directly, but now his situation was only becoming worse and worse.


    Hu~~ Shu~~~~


    Zhao Feng kept testing out how to use Mystic Light Sacred Power as he chased after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, which meant that the power of his arrows was becoming stronger and stronger.


    "Mystic Light Sacred Power contains its own laws and Intents, and it can quickly gather the laws of Heaven and Earth¡­."


    The scarlet-golden wings behind Zhao Feng''s back suddenly created a storm of lightning and boosted his speed.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    When Zhao Feng got close enough to Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, he used a soul attack, and the power of God Tribulation Lightning once again descended on Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' soul.


    Zhao Feng was extremely wary against Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and would use the God Tribulation Lightning whenever he had the chance.


    "Zhao Feng, you will regret this!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss roared as he burned his Mystic Light Sacred Power and sped off into the distance.


    "Hehehe, I don''t know whether I will regret this or not in the future, but I''ll make you regret it right now!"


    The scarlet wings of lightning behind Zhao Feng''s back released a wave of bright Sacred Power that summoned the laws of Heaven and Earth.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    Zhao Feng turned into a streak of red light that sped across Heaven and Earth. The light then merged into space and immediately flew several dozen thousand miles.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes suddenly turned toward a certain direction as he was about to catch up to Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    "Hahaha! Zhao Feng, you''re definitely dead now!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss slowed down and looked at Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    The sky became dark, and a figure in dark brown arrived next to Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    The instant this figure in dark brown appeared, the world became dark. Absolute laws seemed to control Heaven and Earth and instantly suppressed Zhao Feng.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng felt that his Mystic Light Sacred Power was unable to connect to any law of Heaven and Earth. It was as if Heaven and Earth was being controlled by this person in dark brown.


    Zhao Feng had felt this sensation once before when the Crown Prince trial ended. Zhao Feng was in the Imperial Palace when Sacred King Feather Spirit caught an assassin. This was the type of absolute power he had displayed.


    "I didn''t expect to cross an entire province chasing Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss. This place seems to be the territory of the Earth Demon Cult!" Zhao Feng thought for a while and concluded.


    When chasing after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, Zhao Feng had been immersed in testing out his Mystic Light Sacred Power. Furthermore, after he became a Sacred Lord, his flying speed had increased dramatically, and he had unknowingly travelled so far.


    "Demonic Abyss, I didn''t expect a junior at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm would be the one to chase you to here!"


    The figure in dark brown scanned their eyes faintly over Zhao Feng.


    "I was attacked by multiple Sacred Lords before and was heavily injured. Sacred King Earth Ghost, quickly kill him!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss gave an awkward laugh before looking coldly at Zhao Feng.


    The direction that he decided to run was where the Earth Demon Cult was located. When Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had reached a certain distance from the Earth Demon Cult, he sent some information out.


    The Earth Demon Cult and Nine Darkness Palace had a close relationship. One could call them as allies. This was why the Earth Demon Cult decided to help Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss. However, none of them expected Sacred King Earth Ghost, the Grand Elder of the Earth Demon Cult, to appear.

 1054 Sacred King Dark Screen

    Chapter 1054 - Sacred King Dark Screen


    "This is a feud between Nine Darkness Palace and me. Is the Earth Demon Cult going to join in?"


    Zhao Feng looked at Sacred King Earth Ghost with a confident expression.


    Sacred King Earth Ghost''s eyes focused on Zhao Feng after hearing what he said. All of Heaven and Earth seemed to listen to him as the invisible power of laws bound Zhao Feng and made him unable to move.


    Sacred King Earth Ghost didn''t put Zhao Feng in his eyes, but what Zhao Feng said made him unhappy. Although the two of them were both Grand Elders of three-star powers, this was the first time Sacred King Earth Ghost had heard a measly initial-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord speak to him like this.


    However, Zhao Feng''s calm attitude made him become wary.


    "Nine Darkness Palace and Earth Demon Cult help each another. Killing an Elder of Nine Darkness Palace is the same as harming the benefits of the Earth Demon Cult!" Sacred King Earth Ghost slowly said as his voice resounded across Heaven and Earth and entered Zhao Feng''s mind.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had an ugly expression. He could tell that Sacred King Earth Ghost had been scared by Zhao Feng''s calm expression. After all, almost all of the upper echelons in the lord dynasty knew that Zhao Feng had obtained two God Slaying Arrows in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "Why are you still talking to him? Just kill him!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss immediately said. There was another reason why he headed toward the Earth Demon Cult. He hoped that the Earth Demon Cult would force Zhao Feng into desperation, so even if Zhao Feng really had a God Slaying Arrow left, he would waste it on the Earth Demon Cult.


    "Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, Sacred Lord Evil Caster and Sacred Lord Wicked Truth and all the members of Dark Sky Gate and the Black Radiant Clan are in the Hall of Gods. If Nine Darkness Palace wants them back alive, send some people to the Hall of Gods and apologize!"


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with Sacred King Earth Ghost and spoke to Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had an ugly expression. This whole thing was his idea. If it ended like this, he would be punished.


    "Sacred King Earth Ghost, kill Zhao Feng and I''ll give you a 50% cut of the Hall of Gods!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss immediately messaged.


    "Junior, you''re too arrogant!" Sacred King Earth Ghost revealed a sharp look.


    The Hall of Gods had managed to expand to such a huge size within a few short years. They were ranked in the front in terms of assassination and intel.


    Although the overall strength of the Hall of Gods wasn''t as strong as the Earth Demon Cult, their wealth and resources definitely surpassed what the Earth Demon Cult had. This was especially true after the Hall of Gods took out different kinds of unique and special pills. If the Earth Demon Cult had a large number of these pills, they would definitely be able to turn a group of prodigies with the most potential into new upper echelon battle-powers.


    Boom!


    Heaven and Earth shook as an invisible force crushed Zhao Feng. Sacred King Earth Ghost didn''t even move. With just pure Intent, he could control Heaven and Earth and suppress everything.


    "The Earth Demon Cult really doesn''t know what''s good for them!"


    Zhao Feng had a cold expression. He originally just wanted to severely injure Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, then use the hostages to exchange for a bunch of resources from Nine Darkness Palace. However, he just had to meet Sacred King Earth Ghost half-way. There was nothing he could do.


    Just when Zhao Feng was about to let go of Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, Sacred King Earth Ghost attacked. It was obvious that Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' offer had tempted him.


    "Hmph, do you not know how high the Heavens are and how thick the Earth is after becoming a Sacred Lord?" Sacred King Earth Ghost had a cold expression. He had been unhappy with Zhao Feng''s attitude and tone for a long time now.


    Sacred King Earth Ghost waved his hand, and a surge of Heaven and Earth Intent turned into a whirlwind that swept toward Zhao Feng. This dark whirlwind seemed to be able to engulf anything and everything. A forbidden Ghost Dao aura was released wherever it went.


    "Sky Locking Bow!"


    A dark silver bow with mysterious carvings flashed with a silver light as it suddenly appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. A dark golden arrow appeared in Zhao Feng''s other hand. Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power into this dark golden arrow.


    Weng~~ Whoosh!


    A terrifying dark golden divine light appeared along with the image of an arrow several hundred yards long.


    Shu!


    The Intent unleashed by Sacred King Earth Ghost was instantly destroyed by the piercing power of the dark golden arrow.


    "Is that the God Slaying Arrow!!?" Fear instantly appeared on Sacred King Earth Ghost''s expression, who was just acting all high and mighty.


    "He really had another God Slaying Arrow!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' expression also turned pale-white in fright.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    They both immediately burned their Mystic Light Sacred Power and used escaping techniques to run in two different directions. They had both been on guard against Zhao Feng, so they managed to react the instant Zhao Feng took out the Sky Locking Bow and arrow.


    Even normal Sacred Lords would need a while to muster the power needed to unleash a substandard God weapon such as the God Slaying Arrow.


    "You run pretty fast!"


    Zhao Feng revealed a playful smile as he locked onto Sacred King Earth Ghost and pulled back the bowstring.


    Weng~


    The instant the bowstring was pulled back, the image of the dark golden arrow became more refined, and countless laws and Intents appeared on it.


    Sacred King Earth Ghost felt his heart tighten. At this instant, he felt like a certain power had locked onto him. He would be unable to escape no matter how he ran!


    "Zhao Feng, the one you want to kill is Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss!" Sacred King Earth Ghost exclaimed.


    On the other side, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss let out a breath before laughing coldly, "Zhao Feng, just wait to die after using that God Slaying Arrow!"


    Beng~~ Whoosh!


    The image of a large golden light pierced through Heaven and Earth. A metallic storm with a terrifying Metal-elemental power sped through several dozen miles and shot toward Sacred King Earth Ghost.


    Boom!


    A terrifying storm of destruction clashed with the power of the Ghost Dao. One''s heart would shake when they looked at this scene from afar.


    "Wait, the power of this God Slaying Arrow¡­?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss felt that something was wrong. He could feel the power contained within the storm of destruction from very far away; it was weaker than expected, and the element contained within it was different from what he thought.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred King Earth Ghost charged out from the storm of destruction and glared at Zhao Feng with killing intent.


    "That brat was just scaring me! That wasn''t even the God Slaying Arrow!"


    Sacred King Earth Ghost was enraged and gave off a forceful Ghost aura. It was as if he was a God of Ghosts from Hell.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss also paused for a moment before becoming extremely angry. Zhao Feng didn''t even have a God Slaying Arrow, he just pretended he had one in order to scare them.


    Zhao Feng''s voice sounded just as Sacred King Earth Ghost was about to attack once more.


    "Sacred King Earth Ghost, that was just a warning that I am giving you!" Zhao Feng''s voice was cold as he looked at Sacred King Earth Ghost with a faint smile.


    "Warning¡­!" Sacred King Earth Ghost and Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss froze.


    In reality, although the arrow just now hadn''t killed Sacred King Earth Ghost and it seemed like he wasn''t very injured, Zhao Feng knew that Sacred King Earth Ghost''s soul had been severely injured.


    Zhao Feng had thought it through when creating the substandard God Slaying Arrows back then; of the three arrows, one was bright gold while the other two were dark gold. They had completely different elements to them; the bright golden arrow focused on the physical dimension while the dark golden arrows focused on the soul.


    However, it wasn''t likely for a substandard God Slaying Arrow to kill a Sacred King.


    "Could this brat have more of those arrows? Or does he really have the true God Slaying Arrow but didn''t use it¡­?" Sacred King Earth Ghost''s body froze, and he almost entered a frenzy. He was a Sacred King ¨C when had he ever been humiliated like this before? But if Zhao Feng really had more of those arrows or the real God Slaying Arrow, then he might really die.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was also slightly regretful about staying behind.


    "Since the relationship between the Earth Demon Cult and Nine Darkness Palace is so good, the Earth Demon Cult can come with Nine Darkness Palace to apologize to the Hall of Gods."


    Zhao Feng''s words broke the silence. Seeing that Zhao Feng was so forceful, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and the severely-injured Sacred King Earth Ghost were even more sure that Zhao Feng had some sort of hidden card.


    They looked at each other and left without saying anything else.


    "I shouldn''t have helped that brat Demonic Abyss. Sigh!" Sacred King Earth Ghost sighed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Although Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had pulled him down, he didn''t dare to go to Nine Darkness Palace and reason with them.


    Zhao Feng sent them away with his eyes.


    "Senior, it''s time to appear!"


    Zhao Feng looked at the sky, and space started to twist as a figure appeared.


    Zhao Feng had a deep understanding of Black Screen Corner and instantly recognized this elder. It was Sacred King Dark Screen, the Grand Elder of Black Screen Corner.


    Whoosh!


    The sky nearby darkened once more as limitless laws and Intents filled the air.


    "As expected of the Grand Elder of the Hall of Gods. You are the junior with the most potential that I have ever seen!" Sacred King Dark Screen stroked his beard as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    "Senior probably didn''t follow me all the way here just to say that, right?"


    Zhao Feng''s expression stayed the same as he looked at Sacred King Dark Screen with a deep gaze.


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye found Sacred King Dark Screen''s existence back in the Hall of Gods. However, since the situation back then wasn''t very good, Zhao Feng didn''t tell anyone that Sacred King Dark Screen was there. However, Zhao Feng didn''t expect Sacred King Dark Screen to follow him when he chased after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    Zhao Feng admired Sacred King Dark Screen''s patience, but he was also on guard against him.


    "Hahaha! I''m bored and wanted to see the strength of the Grand Elder of the Hall of Gods!" Sacred King Dark Screen laughed.


    In reality, Sacred King Dark Screen was shocked. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to have found him all the way back at the Hall of Gods. No one would believe that an initial-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord discovered a Sacred King expert that specialized in hiding.


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng, over the past, the fame of the Silence Assassination Division has surpassed Black Screen Corner. I came because I want a few things from the Hall of Gods," Sacred King Dark Screen said slowly.


    Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same as he looked at Sacred King Dark Screen and waited for what he was going to say next.


    One of the reasons he used the replica God Slaying Arrow just now was because he wanted to frighten Sacred King Dark Screen as well. After all, the Silence Assassination Division had been using Black Screen Corner''s name to rise, and as a Sacred King, Sacred King Dark Screen obviously wouldn''t be too respectful to Zhao Feng.


    "I heard that the Hall of Gods has a unique pill named the Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pill. Coincidentally, my grandson is also breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, but he isn''t very confident, so I just wanted to ask for some." Sacred King Dark Screen finally said everything.


    The reason Sacred King Dark Screen hid in darkness and followed Zhao Feng was because he wanted to see the final result between Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and Zhao Feng. If Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss won and Sacred King Dark Screen suddenly appeared, he would be able to obtain some benefits. It would have been even better if both sides were severely injured; Sacred King Dark Screen would''ve been able to obtain a bunch of benefits from both sides.


    However, he didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be the one at the advantage all the way through. Zhao Feng even managed to scare away Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and Sacred Lord Earth Ghost and frighten him at the same time.


    "To a certain degree, the Silence Assassination Division could only expand to such a level because of Black Screen Corner. The Hall of Gods can give some gifts to Black Screen Corner," Zhao Feng said with a faint smile.


    Without a doubt, Sacred King Dark Screen was a Sacred King even stronger than Sacred King Earth Ghost. Zhao Feng had no chances of winning unless he used the real God Slaying Arrow. However, at this moment, Sacred King Dark Screen showed no signs of threatening him and didn''t appear to be too greedy, so Zhao Feng obviously wouldn''t be stingy about a few Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pills.

 1055 Disintegration and Duplication

    Chapter 1055 - Disintegration and Duplication


    The Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pill was created with the bloodlines of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and the pond water, which Zhao Feng had plenty of. Besides, after breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, the effect of those two resources were drastically weaker for him.


    "If that''s the case, I''ll go back to Black Screen Corner and wait for it!"


    Sacred King Dark Screen deeply glanced at Zhao Feng before merging into space and disappearing.


    Black Screen Corner wouldn''t attack another force rashly. Furthermore, Sacred King Dark Screen was looking forward to the performance of the Hall of Gods. If the Hall of Gods managed to survive despite Nine Darkness Palace trying to suppress it, it would become another peak force in the continent. Forming a good bond with such a force might bring limitless benefits in the future.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath after Sacred King Dark Screen left. Even though he had become a Sacred Lord, he didn''t believe that he could fight against a Sacred King.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved the armguard, and his figure started to dim as a layer of silver flashed around him.


    After breaking through the Mystic Light Realm, Zhao Feng believed that he could use the Misty Spatial World to teleport even greater distances.


    This time, Zhao Feng directly teleported over four cities.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s figure slowly appeared as silver light flashed, and the terrifying pressure of a Sacred Lord caused Heaven and Earth to change color.


    "Sacred Lord¡­!" A Peak-tier King next to Zhao Feng half-knelt on the ground. Their bloodline and True Yuan were completely suppressed, and they were unable to move at all.


    "I haven''t completely familiarized myself with my power yet," Zhao Feng said gently. "I can still increase the range of my teleportation."


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with the person next to him, he just waved his arm once again. His figure then disappeared within an undulation of space.


    The next instant, Zhao Feng returned to the Hall of Gods. This time, Zhao Feng teleported the distance of an entire province and used up all his Mystic Light Sacred Power.


    "From the looks of it, I''ll be able to teleport the distance of an entire province every time!"


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. Breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm made everything much easier for him. A substandard God item was indeed different; it basically meant that Zhao Feng was carrying a teleportation array around with him at all times.


    At this moment, the people that were invited here by Bi Qingyue to help the Hall of Gods were still here.


    "Grand Elder!"


    "Zhao Feng!"


    Everyone stood up and looked at Zhao Feng in shock. Almost ten days had passed since Zhao Feng chased after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, and everyone was slightly worried.


    Zhao Feng walked to the front with a calm expression and sat down. He had already understood part of the situation from Bi Qingyue; Duke Nanfeng was already heading toward the Imperial Palace to report the situation to the Grand Imperial Hall. Bi Qingyue did that on her own accord, and Zhao Feng was very satisfied.


    The reason he dared to chase after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and severely injure him was because he was planning to report the situation to the Grand Imperial Hall afterward. He believed that the Grand Imperial Hall wouldn''t want to see an internal struggle when the lord dynasty was at war.


    Nine Darkness Palace was a peak three-star force, and the Hall of Gods could be considered three and a half stars. Once these two forces clashed, countless smaller forces would be involved as well, causing heavy casualties to the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "I thank all of you for helping the Hall of Gods. I shall remember this."


    Now that Zhao Feng had broken through to the Mystic Light Realm, he had more power.


    "Now that we are reporting this to the Grand Imperial Hall, Nine Darkness Palace won''t be able to do anything to the Hall of Gods for a while. This is the time for the Hall of Gods to expand," Bi Qingyue stood up and slowly said.


    At the same time, she told everyone the plan for expansion. Most of those present were either subordinate forces of the Hall of Gods or people that had a good relationship with the Hall of Gods.


    Zhao Feng left with Sacred Lord Star Demon after Bi Qingyue finished her talk.


    "Zhao Feng, you showed off this time!" Sacred Lord Star Demon joked.


    Zhao Feng chased after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss for almost ten days and passed by an entire province. The entire continent knew about this. The names of Zhao Feng and the Hall of Gods reached a pinnacle, so this was the best chance for the Hall of Gods to expand!


    "Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss is just one of the upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace!"


    Zhao Feng shook his head. The Hall of Gods was nowhere near ready to fight back against Nine Darkness Palace, which had a million years of foundation. One had to know that Nine Darkness Palace was a four-star power at its peak.


    Zhao Feng didn''t continue to pursue Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss because his confidence hadn''t reached that level yet.


    "Senior Star Demon, I want to talk to you about the second level of the Soul Splitting Technique!"


    Zhao Feng told Sacred Lord Star Demon what his intentions were. Zhao Feng had already analyzed the second level of the Soul Splitting Technique, but he wasn''t very confident, so he wanted Sacred Lord Star Demon to help him.


    Zhao Feng returned to the forbidden grounds at the back of the Hall of Gods after giving the second level of the Soul Splitting Technique to Sacred Lord Star Demon. The latter also needed time to analyze it.


    Zhao Feng immediately entered the dimension of his left eye after returning to the hall.


    When breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, the mysterious golden ball in the dimension of his left eye had evolved. It was because of this that Zhao Feng managed to survive at the critical moment.


    "This is¡­?"


    Zhao Feng stopped thinking and stared at the item above the mysterious golden ball in utter disbelief.


    Originally, there was nothing in the dimension of his left eye apart from the mysterious golden ball and the Demigod head. However, there were now two Demigod heads floating in the air above the mysterious golden ball. The shape of the two heads was the complete same. The power of God Tribulation Lightning in them was the exact same as well.


    "Why did a Demigod head containing God Tribulation Lightning appear out of nowhere?"


    Zhao Feng was stunned. Although an extra Demigod head meant an extra 5% of total God Tribulation Lightning, which was a good thing, all of this was too weird.


    Zhao Feng started to think about what happened when his eye evolved. Countless golden ripples were released from the mysterious golden ball, which passed completely through the Demigod head.


    After that, the structure of the atoms in the Demigod head were completely analyzed and recorded into the mysterious golden ball. A desolate power then appeared from the mysterious golden ball and slowly turned into a twisting black matter, and then finally into another Demigod head.


    "Could it be¡­?"


    Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something and quickly returned his consciousness back into his body.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng took out a normal Earth-grade weapon from the Misty Spatial World.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto this Earth-grade weapon and absorbed it into its dimension. His consciousness then entered the dimension of his left eye as well.


    Zhao Feng moved the two Demigod heads to the side and put the Earth-grade weapon above the mysterious golden ball. Zhao Feng circulated his Intent and carefully touched the mysterious golden ball with it.


    Weng~~ Shua!


    The mysterious golden ball started to spin, and countless golden ripples were released from it. They then passed through the Earth-grade weapon. A desolate aura then slowly appeared from the mysterious golden ball and condensed in the air.


    Weng~~ Hu!


    The black matter then started to twist, and a complete Earth-grade weapon appeared above the mysterious golden ball several hours later.


    "It can really duplicate physical objects?" Zhao Feng was stunned. This scene confirmed his guesses.


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness then returned back to his body.


    "Part of my Eye Intent and True Yuan have been used up!" Zhao Feng concluded.


    From the looks of it, when he duplicated the Demigod head, he hadn''t realized anything since he was trying to break through to the Mystic Light Realm. This also explained why the energy from Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' clone was absorbed into the dimension of his left eye; it was because he was duplicating the Demigod head and needed power.


    "The evolution managed to give me such an ability!?"


    Zhao Feng was completely filled with joy.


    He could already tell how terrifying this duplication ability was if he could even duplicate the Demigod head and the God Tribulation Lightning.


    "Looks like this is the complete ability of the golden eye!" Zhao Feng said in a serious tone.


    Even though it had the power of disintegration, the supportive abilities of the golden eye weren''t too strong. However, it was perfect now with the power of duplication.


    Zhao Feng was also trying to find the weaknesses of this new ability.


    Firstly, a lot of time was required. Duplicating the Demigod head took almost ten days. Although an Earth-grade weapon only took a couple hours, Zhao Feng only used Heaven-grade weapons or Inheritance Sacred weapons.


    Secondly, a lot of energy was used up in duplication. Zhao Feng was in seclusion before, so he didn''t sense it, but he came to this conclusion after duplicating the Earth-grade weapon. Zhao Feng realized that Soul eye-bloodline power was used up first before the True Yuan in his body. These were both very important to Zhao Feng. If they weren''t replenished, it might cause serious harm in the future.


    "But with this duplication ability, I can produce my own cultivation resources!"


    Zhao Feng was stunned and felt incredulous, but there was a trade-off since he needed to spend Soul eye-bloodline power and True Yuan to duplicate whatever he needed. Afterward, he would need to spend time or resources to replenish them.


    "I''ll put this ability to the side for now!"


    There weren''t too many uses in the short term. It was better to figure it out later. What was most important right now was to consolidate his cultivation!


    Zhao Feng just broke through to the Mystic Light Realm and couldn''t completely control his power. He couldn''t even fully conceal his aura.


    Furthermore, the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique successfully broke through and reached the ninth level ¨C the Earth of Wind Lightning. Once Zhao Feng started cultivating the Earth of Wind Lightning, his strength would increase by another level.


    Whoosh!


    Two dark yellow crystals appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. They were Earth-elemental resources he bought in the Lan Province War Hall with his war points.


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated the Earth of Wind Lightning cultivation method of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and started to absorb the power of Earth within the resources.


    Zhao Feng then circulated his Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and multi-tasked, trying to understand the Mystic Light Sacred Power and the Sacred Power Whirlpool in his body as well.


    When one became a Sacred Lord, the Crystal Core within their body would shatter and merge with the laws of Heaven and Earth, turning into a whirlpool of Sacred Power.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Power Whirlpool had four colors; blue, green, red, and dark yellow.


    One would change after understanding all the power they had. The process of familiarizing oneself with their new power was extremely long, but since Zhao Feng had the inspection and calculation abilities of his left eye, he only used one month to familiarize himself with his power.


    Eventually, Zhao Feng opened his eyes. At this instant, Zhao Feng felt that his Intent could merge into Heaven and Earth extremely quickly. He could summon the power of nature from Heaven and Earth extremely easily.


    "This is the true power of the Mystic Light Realm!"


    Sacred light and a dark yellow layer of lightning flashed around Zhao Feng''s body as Heaven and Earth suddenly froze and released a terrifying force of gravity.

 1056 Cultivating

    Chapter 1056 - Cultivating


    "This is the true power of the Mystic Light Realm!"


    Sacred light and a dark yellow layer of lightning flashed around Zhao Feng''s body as Heaven and Earth suddenly froze and released a terrifying force of gravity.


    The Earth of Wind Lightning didn''t give Zhao Feng a lot of offensive power, but it increased the strength of his defense by double. At the same time, it merged with the force of the Sacred Lightning Body and created a layer of gravity that could suppress everything within a certain range.


    Weaker initial-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords would find it hard to even stand in front of Zhao Feng.


    Furthermore, the ninth level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique contained many skills and secret techniques, most of which were used for defense. Zhao Feng took a look at them.


    "I might be able to fight against Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss by myself now!"


    Zhao Feng smiled confidently.


    It wasn''t terrifying when someone suddenly obtained power. Only when they managed to actually control their power did they become terrifying.


    When Zhao Feng just broke through to the Mystic Light Realm, he and the injured Nan Gongsheng weren''t a match for Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, but now Zhao Feng was confident he could fight against Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss alone.


    However, that was just a fight. He would need to use some important hidden cards if he wanted to gain an advantage and actually defeat Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    "Master, some people from Nine Darkness Palace are here!" Bi Qingyue sent a message to Zhao Feng through the Dark Heart Seal.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly and walked out.


    Three Elders of Nine Darkness Palace stood in the great hall. The leader was Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    "Zhao Feng, I''m here to apologize to the Hall of Gods!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss said quickly in an awkward tone.


    "I''m an upper echelon Elder of Nine Darkness Palace, but I used my own power to encourage the other Elders of Nine Darkness Palace to attack another three-star power. I hereby apologize to all the members of the Hall of Gods!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss said with extreme unwillingness, but this issue had indeed attracted the attention of the Grand Imperial Hall. The Grand Elder of Nine Darkness Palace had personally come out to punish Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss and forced him to apologize to the Hall of Gods.


    Zhao Feng maintained a faint smile and waited for what Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was going to say next. Zhao Feng wouldn''t accept it if it was just a verbal apology.


    "Nine Darkness Palace is willing to hand over all the resources of Dark Sky Gate, the Black Radiant Clan, and the other forces to the Hall of Gods. I hope that you will let all the members of these forces go." Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss told Zhao Feng what price Nine Darkness Palace was willing to pay.


    Bi Qingyue was faintly shocked. Dark Sky Gate was a three-star power, and the Black Radiant Clan and company were all powerful forces that had at least two and a half stars, yet Nine Darkness Palace was willing to give it all to the Hall of Gods.


    Zhao Feng was silent for a moment. He wasn''t satisfied with this apology.


    "Zhao Feng, are you not satisfied with that?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss saw what Zhao Feng was thinking and asked with mockery.


    Nine Darkness Palace wasn''t against Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss attacking the Hall of Gods. The problem was that Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss failed.


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss believed that the Grand Elder wouldn''t just let go of the Hall of Gods. From his point of view, Zhao Feng was going to die eventually, and yet he was still acting so greedily.


    "Those resources will only be enough to release the prisoners, but you attacking the Hall of Gods won''t end just like that!" Zhao Feng said and looked at Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss. The two Elders next to Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss became enraged.


    Nine Darkness Palace had never been in such a bad situation before. They were willing to pay Zhao Feng, but he still wasn''t satisfied.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t get too cocky!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' expression became cold. Nine Darkness Palace would only give the aforementioned resources as repayment. If Zhao Feng didn''t accept it, then Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss would have to pay out of his own pocket.


    "This is the Hall of Gods!" Zhao Feng harrumphed coldly as the invisible power of his Intent suddenly descended. At the same time, a layer of golden-yellow Sacred light that flashed with arcs of lightning appeared around Zhao Feng''s body and radiated an invisible pressure.


    This was the Hall of Gods, but Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was acting in such a manner when he was supposed to be apologizing.


    "What, this¡­!?" The two Sacred Lords next to Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss instantly felt the air become heavy as if mountains were crushing down on them, and the Mystic Light Sacred Power within their bodies seemed to freeze.


    "This power¡­" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' expression became ugly. Even his own Magnificent Power wasn''t much stronger than Zhao Feng''s. The two normal Sacred Lords next to him were completely unable to fight back against Zhao Feng''s power. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss himself found it slightly difficult to breathe, but since he was in the Hall of Gods, he couldn''t do anything.


    Bi Qingyue was standing next to Zhao Feng, and she was immediately stunned and overjoyed.


    "Zhao Feng, we can talk about the repayment!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had to lower his stance helplessly.


    Hu~


    With a thought, Zhao Feng retracted his power. Just now, his power focused mainly on the laws of Earth since it contained strong pressure. When used with the pressure of his Sacred Lightning Body, normal Sacred Lords wouldn''t be able to fight back against Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s strength¡­! Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' expression became dark. Only a month or so had passed, and Zhao Feng managed to completely familiarize himself with the power of the Mystic Light Realm. His strength exceeded what Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss expected.


    The two sides then started to negotiate. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss gave some of his wealth while the other two Sacred Lords had to give up almost all their wealth as well.


    Finally, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss led the members of Nine Darkness Palace and left the Hall of Gods with anger.


    "Bi Qingyue, use these resources wisely. Also, give three Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pills to the Grand Elder of Black Screen Corner," Zhao Feng ordered before leaving.


    He received a large amount of wealth from Nine Darkness Palace. It was comparable to the wealth of a three-star power that had existed for a million years. If used well, the Hall of Gods would be able to expand even faster.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng understood that he needed to become stronger as well. The strength of a force was determined by two points: the first was wealth while the second was the experts.


    Zhao Feng glanced at Nan Gongsheng after returning to the hall in the forbidden grounds. A wicked and terrifying force covered the hall that Nan Gongsheng was in, which made others scared of it. That place wasn''t actually forbidden, but everyone acted like it was; no one dared to approach it.


    Maybe it was because Zhao Feng had broken through to the Mystic Light Realm and displayed strong battle-power, but Nan Gongsheng was working hard. After recovering from his injuries, Nan Gongsheng immediately started to absorb the power of the Evil God.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, Xie Yang was an "Ancient God," a peak existence amongst those at the Heavenly Divine Realm. As long as nothing happened to Nan Gongsheng and he was able to inherit and control this power, he would be able to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm easily, and he might be able to go even higher.


    "Heavenly Divine Realm!"


    Zhao Feng looked forward to it as well, but at the moment, he was extremely far away from the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    Zhao Feng started to cultivate once more after going back to the forbidden grounds of the Hall of Gods.


    After breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, his physical strength had increased dramatically, but the power of his soul hadn''t increased by much. Zhao Feng still relied on the God''s Spiritual Eye the most, so he placed greater importance on the soul. The main reason he cultivated his body was so he could deal with the God Lightning Tribulation in the future.


    Furthermore, the new duplication ability of his left eye used up a lot of Eye Intent. Without powerful Eye Intent or a strong soul body, Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to use this ability very well.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and started to multitask.


    Zhao Feng first drank some of the pond water. The pond water wasn''t every effective toward Zhao Feng''s body now, so most of its power would be transferred to the soul. Zhao Feng also focused on some of the skills and secret techniques contained in the Earth of Wind Lightning.


    The last part of his focus stayed in the dimension of his God Eye. Now that Zhao Feng had two Demigod heads, he had twice as much of the remaining God Tribulation Lightning. Although it was still very little, it was better than nothing. After all, it was extremely rare to obtain God Tribulation Lightning.


    However, Zhao Feng didn''t absorb the power of God Tribulation Lightning in a rush. Instead, he tried to use the mysterious golden ball to duplicate it.


    Zhao Feng first duplicated some of the resources he needed, then slowly duplicated items of higher grade. He wanted to know the limit of this duplication ability.


    Zhao Feng entered a long period of seclusion to increase his strength in every respect. At the same time, he would communicate with Bi Qingyue with the Dark Heart Seal to understand what was happening in the outside world.


    During this period of time, an elder of the Earth Demon Cult also came and gave a large amount of resources as repayment.


    The battle between the Hall of Gods and Nine Darkness Palace increased the former''s fame. Now that they had also obtained a large amount of resources, the Hall of Gods was rapidly expanding into the inner continent.


    The assassination missions aimed at the middle-upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace continued. After all, Nine Darkness Palace had no evidence that the Hall of Gods was behind it.


    Nine Darkness Palace could only protect themselves and try to frighten the assassins off. The assassin ranked 19th in the Silence Assassination Division was caught by Nine Darkness Palace not long ago and immediately killed.


    As for Black Screen Corner, they were silent toward the Silence Assassination Division''s expansion.


    In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.


    Zhao Feng had consolidated his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique at the initial stages of the 9th level and consolidated his Sacred Lightning Body at the initial stages of the 6th level as well. His Soul Intent had become stronger, and so had his overall strength.


    "Master, Demigod Kun Yun didn''t leave after arriving at the battlefield!"


    One day, Bi Qingyue sent news to Zhao Feng.


    The war was progressing rapidly. After Kun Yun arrived at the battlefield and realized that he had been tricked, he didn''t immediately rush back and instead chose to stay.


    Zhao Feng could imagine that Kun Yun wanted to gather war points and buy resources to increase his strength. No late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord had appeared on the battlefield yet, but with Kun Yun''s appearance, the rate of the war sped up, and the scale of the war increased once more.


    "No¡­ I need to go to the battlefield!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes darkened. He attracted Kun Yun to the battlefield because he thought that the latter would rush back directly after realizing Zhao Feng wasn''t present. In that case, Kun Yun would waste a lot of time on travelling, and his strength would stagnate.


    However, reality didn''t go to plan. Since that was the case, Zhao Feng needed to find Kun Yun before he became too strong and resolve the feud. After all, Zhao Feng''s strength was now consolidated as high as it could go in the short term, so he could negotiate with Kun Yun. Otherwise, it would be over for Zhao Feng once Kun Yun became a Demigod again.


    "Nan Gongsheng, do you want to go to the battlefield?" Zhao Feng messaged Nan Gongsheng.


    Over the last half a year, apart from absorbing the power of the Evil God, Nan Gongsheng would accept some assassination missions. Now, he had reached the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm and was ranked first amongst the assassins of the Silence Assassination Division.

 1057 Returning to the Battlefield

    Chapter 1057 - Returning to the Battlefield


    "The battlefield?" Nan Gongsheng suddenly opened his eyes, and the wicked power around him faded away.


    "I need to go see Kun Yun!" Zhao Feng messaged. He wanted to talk to Kun Yun, and he also wanted to see Zhao Yufei as well. During his seclusion, Zhao Yufei had stayed in the Thirteenth Prince''s camp and helped him a lot, which Zhao Feng needed to stop as well.


    "I will come. The Silence Assassination Division doesn''t suit me!" Nan Gongsheng said in a deep tone.


    Nan Gongsheng''s cultivation was too high. It was already good if there were one or two assassination missions in the Silence Assassination Division that reached his level.


    Furthermore, while doing missions in the Silence Assassination Division, Nan Gongsheng had heard a lot of news about the front lines. The rate of war was progressing extremely fast, and even late-stage Sacred Lords were starting to appear. From the looks of it, going to the battlefield was indeed more interesting than staying in the Silence Assassination Division.


    "Good. Get ready; we''ll leave in a month!" Zhao Feng said.


    Nan Gongsheng knew a little bit about the feud between Zhao Feng and Kun Yun. Zhao Feng also wanted to test Nan Gongsheng; when Nan Gongsheng heard that Zhao Feng was going to see Kun Yun, he didn''t reveal any intentions that he was going to help Zhao Feng. He was instead more focused on killing the enemies.


    It seemed that Nan Gongsheng had been heavily affected by the fight with Nine Darkness Palace last time and had absorbed a lot of the Evil God''s power to increase his strength. This made his relatively stable mind and personality become slightly twisted.


    Zhao Feng also needed to make a few preparations in this month of time.


    With a thought, Zhao Feng entered the dimension of his left eye.


    "Success!"


    Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression. He had chosen to replicate the resource of the highest grade ¨C the Earth Spirit Golden Lined Grass. He spent five days'' time, and the mysterious golden ball managed to duplicate this resource.


    However, Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent and a lot of his True Yuan had also been used up. The level of his Eye Intent directly correlated to the strength of his eye-bloodline power, and his True Yuan affected his physical attacks. If they were both weakened, it might result in damages to his foundation that would be extremely hard to heal.


    According to the value of the Earth Spirit Golden Lined Grass, Zhao Feng could roughly estimate that one level higher was his limit.


    "It''s about comparable to one mid-tier Heaven-grade weapon!"


    Zhao Feng was faintly shocked. This meant that, as long Zhao Feng had enough time and resources, he could duplicate large numbers of weapons.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng knew that it was impossible to duplicate the God Slaying Arrow. It would be extremely difficult to even duplicate the replica God Slaying Arrows.


    Zhao Feng then sunk his consciousness into the mysterious golden ball and entered the Ancient Dream Realm.


    A few Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers lay around the pond in the Ancient Dream Realm. Zhao Feng had given them the order to scout out the entire landscape of the forest.


    "Master, apart from the Earth Shattering Raging Bull Race and the Sky Fire Lightning Apes, we have found no other threats in the forest!" The leader of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers reported the situation to Zhao Feng.


    "Master, here are the resources that we found!" The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger took out many precious resources from its Little World, and a strong smell appeared.


    "Very good!"


    Zhao Feng put all these ancient resources away.


    Many unknown treasures were stored in Zhao Feng''s Misty Spatial World, all of which were obtained from the Black Wind Canyon. Zhao Feng didn''t dare to take these unknown treasures out and let others recognize them, so he could only store them for now.


    "What are the chances of us winning against the Earth Shattering Raging Bull Race?" Zhao Feng asked.


    The Earth Shattering Raging Bull Race was ranked a bit over thirty places higher than the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger Race.


    "Now that Master has become stronger, our chance of winning is 50%!" The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leader thought before replying.


    "50%?" Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed. Back when Zhao Feng fought against this Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger, he used his full power and five Bee Emperors. Now that he had reached the Mystic Light Realm, he could defeat the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leader by himself. The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leader knew this but still told him such a thing. From this, he could see that the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls were not normal.


    "Looks like I will need to train all of you!" Zhao Feng slowly said.


    In order to find resources in the Ancient Dream Realm, he needed to enslave ancient beasts. Zhao Feng managed to enslave the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, but he forgot to make them stronger. One had to know that the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leader was only an early-stage Mystic Light Realm, but its battle-power was comparable to the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. However, its Soul Intent was still only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm, which was why Zhao Feng was able to defeat it when he was just a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    However, raising the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers troubled Zhao Feng. Almost all the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers here were Sacred Lords. They lived in the Ancient Dream Realm and were already strong in every aspect. What could Zhao Feng even use to raise them?


    Zhao Feng finally made a decision.


    "Let all the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers use the pond water and attack the Earth Shattering Raging Bull Race when it''s depleted!" Zhao Feng took away some of the pond water before saying.


    He could only strengthen the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers by using the resources form the Ancient Dream Realm. Zhao Feng decided to use the duplication ability to duplicate items from the Ancient Dream Realm and increase the battle-power of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers.


    "After we successfully conquer the Earth Shattering Raging Bull Race, we will progress toward the area behind the forest!"


    In order to obtain more resources, Zhao Feng had to scout deeper.


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger nodded its head. It understood Zhao Feng''s ambitions.


    Zhao Feng then left the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "Bi Qingyue, I will be heading to the front lines soon."


    Zhao Feng started to give orders to Bi Qingyue through the Dark Heart Seal. He then discussed the plan of progress for the Silence Assassination Division with Supreme Emperor Dark Night before going to Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit and giving her one Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger and three flasks of pond water from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng took out the herbs that he had obtained in the Ancient Dream Realm after returning to the forbidden grounds.


    "This is the Spirit Gathering Soul Refining Grass, and it can condense Soul Intent and heal injuries in the soul. It''s a rare herb used for some Dao of the Soul pills¡­."


    The Spirit Gathering Soul Refining Grass was one of the most precious Dao of the Soul treasures. After eating it, Zhao Feng felt a strong surge of Wood-elemental soul power spread throughout his soul. It washed his soul, and the element of Wood surfaced in his mind.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes a month later and released a wave of mental energy.


    "My Soul Intent has become stronger. It''s far stronger than normal Sacred Lords at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm!"


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. This was his first time using a rare resource from the Ancient Dream Realm, and its effect was unexpectedly good.


    Zhao Feng would spend five days at most to completely absorb the rare Soul treasures of the continent zone, but he had spent such a long time just to absorb the Spirit Gathering Soul Refining Grass from the Ancient Dream Realm. From this, one could tell how effective it was.


    A few other herbs from the Ancient Dream Realm appeared before Zhao Feng. He had duplicated these with the mysterious golden ball over the past month.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng appeared outside the great hall where Nan Gongsheng was waiting.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng said.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his arm, and they faded away in a flash of silver light.


    If Zhao Feng was alone, he could teleport through one whole province. Including the time needed for recovery, he would be able to reach the front lines in roughly five days. However, since Zhao Feng was bringing an early-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord with him, it increased his energy expenditure dramatically, so the distance he could travel was reduced dramatically as well.


    "As expected of a substandard God item. It''s so convenient!" Nan Gongsheng licked his lips, and his eyes flashed while they were travelling.


    Zhao Feng squinted his eyes. He saw greed from Nan Gongsheng''s eyes. From the looks of it, Nan Gongsheng''s personality had been changed even more by the power of the Evil God.


    "Nan Gongsheng, come try this!"


    Zhao Feng took out a flask of the pond water from the Ancient Dream Realm. Nan Gongsheng scanned through it with his Divine Sense and hesitated for a moment before drinking it. The wicked aura from his body then started to fade away.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng arrived at the front lines in roughly ten days. Since Zhao Feng had left a spatial marking in Meng City, he and Nan Gongsheng went there directly.


    However, at this moment, Meng City was very empty. There was only one Emperor, a few Kings, and several hundred Great Origin Core Realm cultivators.


    With Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng''s cultivation, no one could find them if they wanted to remain hidden.


    "Looks like the war is indeed progressing very quickly," Zhao Feng murmured.


    According to what he knew, the front lines were very intense. It wasn''t just a matter of protecting the cities anymore; all the forces spread out and started to fight for every inch of land.


    Even the generals of the cities had to personally lead a group and enter the battles. The Ninth Prince was no exception.


    "Let''s go to the battlefield!"


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng left Meng City.


    The front lines had a lot of people with strong battle-power, and they were extremely dangerous. If Zhao Feng killed enemies and obtained war points, his fame would spread. After that Kun Yun and Zhao Yufei would come find him on their own. This was Zhao Feng''s plan.


    The Hall of Gods didn''t need Zhao Feng to give them resources anymore. On the contrary, Zhao Feng used the Hall of Gods to find resources for himself, but it was far from enough.


    The resources that Zhao Feng needed for his cultivation were comparable to the wealth of a Sacred King. On top of that, Zhao Feng still needed to strengthen the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng sped through the sky. They reached the main warzone within two days, and Zhao Feng soon found a group of non-humans with his super eyesight.


    The leader was a Quasi-Sacred Lord. Apart from three Emperors in the group, the others were all elite Kings.


    "Emperor Blade Lake, there''s something in the northwestern direction!" One of the members responsible for scouting said. Two human figures then sped toward them.


    "Only two people?"


    "Are these two humans retarded? They dare to travel through the warzone without fear?"


    Some non-human Kings in the group instantly started to laugh.


    "You bunch of retards, run!" Emperor Blade Lake''s expression turned pale-white as he turned into a streak of white light and immediately ran away.


    Emperor Blade Lake''s Intent had reached the level of a Sacred Lord, and according to his senses, those two were definitely Sacred Lords. The purple-and-blood-colored-hair male in particular gave him a strong sense of danger.


    "Physical Force Lightning Domain!"


    Zhao Feng flew into the air above this little group and released a surge of lightning with his Sacred Lightning Body. Everything within a thousand miles instantly became dark and heavy. All the non-humans that remained were immediately killed.


    Zhao Feng''s Physical Force Lightning Domain was twice as strong when he used it with the Earth of Wind Lightning. Even normal Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords would find it hard to move in Zhao Feng''s Physical Force Lightning Domain, let alone Void God Realms.


    Whoosh!


    Seeing Zhao Feng finish off all the non-humans, Nan Gongsheng turned into a beam of purple-and-blood-colored light and chased directly after the Quasi-Sacred Lord running away.


    "How is this possible? Why did such strong Sacred Lords come here? Are the humans going to retaliate in full force now?"


    Emperor Blade Lake''s body turned cold as he witnessed Zhao Feng''s actions.


    Whoosh!


    A figure descended. Emperor Blade Lake felt like he was in a swamp as his movements slowed down.


    Crack!


    The purple-and-blood-colored light around Emperor Blade Lake turned into a demonic claw that grabbed hold of him. The claw ripped this non-human Quasi Sacred Lord''s body and soul apart.

 1058 Unstoppable

    Chapter 1058 - Unstoppable


    Zhao Feng continued to search for prey as well as the Ninth Prince''s group after finishing off this group of non-humans. Zhao Feng''s left eye soon found another non-human group, but this time, the leader was a Sacred Lord.


    "Let''s go!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled. Although late-stage Sacred Lords started appearing on the battlefield, there were only two or three of them in an entire province. The strongest fighters on the battlefield were still usually initial-stage Sacred Lords.


    "Ambush from the humans!" The Sacred Lord in the non-human group was from the wolfmen race, and he immediately sensed it.


    The forty or so experts in the group immediately became on guard.


    "Two humans?" The wolfman Sacred Lord''s heart jumped up, but he immediately sensed that these two were only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm. However, the purple-and-blood-colored-hair youth gave him a very dangerous feeling.


    "Retreat for now!" The wolfman leader''s expression darkened as he gave the order.


    "The humans have increased the number of their Sacred Lords?" A peak Emperor in the group was surprised.


    Although the number of initial-stage Sacred Lords was increasing, this was the first time they had seen two Sacred Lords in the same group. Their group was one of the strongest groups in this warzone, but they still had to retreat against two Sacred Lords.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng immediately charged over. This time, Zhao Feng went for the wolfman Sacred Lord leader and left the other members to Nan Gongsheng.


    Weng!


    A purple-and-blood-colored divine light spread across Nan Gongsheng''s back and filled the air. All of Heaven and Earth turned into a purple-and-blood-colored wicked dimension, and Nan Gongsheng''s figure swayed through the projection of his Little World like a ghost.


    "Not good! I estimated their strength incorrectly!" The wolfman Sacred Lord''s heart turned cold as he felt the terrifying power contained within this Little World projection.


    "Arghhh¡­!"


    The non-human enemies in Nan Gongsheng''s Little World projection felt their blood and energy quickly deplete. Some of the weaker Kings were turned into dried corpses.


    "How is this happening?"


    Some of the stronger non-human Emperors were completely stunned. They didn''t expect these two Sacred Lords, who were extremely young, to have such terrifying battle-power. They couldn''t fight back against these two humans at all.


    Wu~~


    The wolfman Sacred Lord instantly used a secret technique, and the bloodline within his body activated as he turned into a giant azure wolf that ran away. At the same time, he crushed a message token, and a streak of light merged into the air and disappeared.


    The wolfman Sacred Lord suddenly felt a dangerous sensation close in on him. It was extremely easy for Zhao Feng to catch up to this wolfman Sacred Lord.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!"


    Zhao Feng condensed his power of Wind Lightning and unleashed a scarlet-golden palm. Although the Earth of Wind Lightning was on a higher level, it focused on defense and control, so Zhao Feng still used the Fire of Wind Lightning for offense.


    "This power¡­!" The wolfman Sacred Lord felt a danger that he had never felt before. This palm seemed to merge with Heaven and Earth as it closed off all paths of escape.


    The wolfman Sacred Lord immediately turned around, and an azure Mystic Light Sacred Power started to burn. Wolfmen didn''t specialize in defense; to them, offense was the best defense.


    "Azure Wolf Sacred Light!"


    The transformed wolfman Sacred Lord opened his mouth and spat out a condensed ball of Mystic Light Sacred Power. However, when this azure Sacred Power landed on Zhao Feng''s scarlet-golden Sacred Lightning Palm, it only slowed down the Sacred Lightning Palm a little.


    Boom!


    The scarlet-golden Sacred Lightning Palm crushed forward and destroyed the azure power.


    Bam!


    The remaining power from the palm landed on the giant azure wolf and sent him flying for several miles.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng immediately followed and unleashed several more palms, taking the life of this non-human Sacred Lord.


    Just like that, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng easily destroyed one of the most powerful non-human groups in this warzone. They proceeded to travel across the warzone outside Meng City and kill all the non-human groups they saw.


    At the same time, they met many human groups, and they finally located the Ninth Prince''s group through them.


    Within a ruined hall:


    "Who''s there?" The eyes of a middle-aged male wearing a black-and-gold robe flashed and released a sharp and powerful pressure.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re here?" The Ninth Prince flew out.


    "Zhao Feng?" The expression of the middle-aged male changed slightly as he looked at the two youths flying over.


    New of the Hall of Gods and Nine Darkness Palace fighting had already spread across the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, including the front lines. The newly-formed force, the Hall of Gods, managed to fight back against an Elder of Nine Darkness Palace who was at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. Such strength made others look at it in a different perspective.


    There were also rumors that the Grand Elder of the Hall of Gods, Zhao Feng, chased Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss across an entire province, and the pursuit only ended when the Grand Elder of the Earth Demon Cult appeared.


    The other Emperors and Kings in the group looked at Zhao Feng with jealousy, envy, or respect.


    "Senior Zhao!" The three members of the Ji Family were also in the Ninth Prince''s group. They weren''t as childish as before; they had matured. Amongst them, Ji Lan had become prettier like the leaves of autumn; elegant and noble. She had many people chasing after her in the battlefield.


    "This is an upper echelon member of the Grand Imperial Hall, Sacred Lord Gonghuang!" the Ninth Prince introduced to Zhao Feng.


    "Greetings, Senior!" Zhao Feng looked over and gave a faint bow.


    The Ninth Prince''s group was the strongest group that Zhao Feng had seen so far, and Sacred Lord Gonghuang was the strongest person in the group. He was at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and the group also had two Quasi-Sacred Lords. The other members were also experts.


    "Zhao Feng, I heard of you a long time ago. And this must be Nan Gongsheng!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang inspected the two youngsters in front of him and didn''t dare to underestimate them at all.


    "Indeed!" Nan Gongsheng replied.


    "Zihang, now that your friends are here to help, we can push forward and wipe out all the non-human groups!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang suggested. Because of Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, the Grand Imperial Hall worried about the Ninth Prince''s safety, so they sent Sacred Lord Gonghuang over.


    "Zhao Feng, thank you!" The Ninth Prince faintly smiled and spoke.


    After Zhao Feng left, all the princes increased their own forces and performed well. For example, the Thirteenth Prince had the support of Nine Darkness Palace and the Earth Demon Cult. After Zhao Yufei arrived as well, the Thirteenth Prince took back a lot of territory in an unstoppable manner and defeated many non-human Sacred Lords. The Grand Imperial Hall was very satisfied with his performance.


    The non-humans then sent Sacred Lord Myriad Forms to stop the Thirteenth Prince.


    On the other hand, ever since Zhao Feng left, the Ninth Prince hadn''t made any progress, losing the glory of their former days. Zhao Feng''s ranking on the Lan Province War Board had also dropped; he was now ranked 273rd.


    However, Zhao Feng now returned as a Sacred Lord, and he brought Nan Gongsheng as well, who had the power of the Evil God.


    The morale of the Ninth Prince''s group increased dramatically. Most of them had followed the Ninth Prince from the beginning, and they couldn''t help but remember the days when they conquered two cities and defeated Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Let''s go!"


    The Ninth Prince was extremely confident, and Zhao Feng smiled faintly. No group with three Sacred Lords had ever appeared before. Although this might attract a lot of attention, that was precisely what Zhao Feng wanted. If Kun Yun and Zhao Yufei heard news that Zhao Feng was at the front lines, they would definitely come over.


    The Ninth Prince''s group then travelled across the warzone and killed all the non-human groups they met. They were unstoppable; in just ten days'' time, they managed to push forward ten thousand miles outside Meng City and were almost at the stronghold of the non-humans.


    One day, the Ninth Prince''s group decided to rest in a canyon.


    "I heard that the non-humans have reacted and sent more Sacred Lords to this area."


    "It doesn''t matter. With our group''s strength, we don''t need to be scared of anyone!"


    The members of the group discussed with each another.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s figure disappeared and entered the Misty Spatial World. He took out some of the items he had duplicated in the dimension of his left eye.


    The next instant, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm. At this moment, the pond water in the forest had been completely used up by the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and the Five Poison Distinct Bees.


    In this period of time, Zhao Feng also sent in some of the duplicated resources. The overall strength of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers had increased by 50%.


    "Attack the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls Race!" Zhao Feng ordered. He led the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and Five Poison Distinct Bees to attack the territory of the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls Race.


    Zhao Feng''s sudden disappearance surprised many people.


    "I heard that Senior Zhao has a substandard God item that contains a Little World that he can freely enter and exit!"


    "That''s right! That substandard God item came from the ancient mysterious palace in the Divine Illusion Dimension!"


    "Back then, all the geniuses and disciples of various forces were present, but that substandard God item fell into Senior Zhao''s hands."


    Some of the Kings and Emperors in the group admired Zhao Feng and talked about him the entire way.


    Zhao Feng appeared a while later with a Whoosh!


    "Zhao Feng, let''s get ready to leave!" the Ninth Prince said after seeing Zhao Feng finish.


    They could capture more territory since the non-humans hadn''t sent powerful reinforcements yet and obtain some war points from killing the non-human groups.


    Zhao Feng took out some herbs that could recover True Yuan and Mystic Light Sacred Power and ate them.


    I''ve successfully conquered the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls Race. Now I just need to defeat the strongest force in the forest ¨C the Sky Fire Lightning Apes. Then the entire forest will be my territory!


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed. He had obtained many resources after defeating the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls Race, and many of the materials and herbs were of the Earth element.


    Zhao Feng needed to be careful when dealing with the Sky Fire Lightning Apes. The Sky Fire Lightning Ape Race was ranked 9412nd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, several hundred places above the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls.


    According to the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, the fortunate thing was that there was only one Sky Fire Lightning Ape in the forest, but the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger leader didn''t even dare to approach it. It was the king of this forest.


    "We haven''t met any non-human groups for a long time now!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang felt that something was off and suddenly spoke.


    "Hahaha! Our group is too strong! Maybe the non-humans have already given up on this warzone!"


    "It''s all thanks to Senior Zhao Feng and Senior Nan!" Some of the Kings in the group laughed and said. They didn''t need to do anything at all with three Sacred Lords in their group. They were able to just obtain free war points.


    However, right at this moment, Heaven and Earth darkened. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi started to move as rain, wind, lightning, and fire descended.


    A non-human group charged over from the distance. The leader was a tall figure with a pair of rainbow-colored eyes that seemed to contain Heaven and Earth themselves.

 1059 Fighting the Eyes of Myriad Forms Once Again

    Chapter 1059 - Fighting the Eyes of Myriad Forms Once Again


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang said in shock.


    "All Kings, retreat immediately!" the Ninth Prince immediately ordered.


    If it was just Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, the three Sacred Lords of the Ninth Prince''s group could deal with him. However, there was also an elephantman Sacred Lord who radiated a terrifying aura next to him. His pressure was simply covered by the scenery caused by the Eye of Myriad Forms.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All the Kings immediately retreated. Even the Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords retreated far away.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve finally come back to the battlefield!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms revealed an excited and ghastly smile.


    Back then, Zhao Feng forced Sacred Lord Myriad Forms into desperation with one arrow and almost killed him. He would never forget about this. However, when Sacred Lord Myriad Forms recovered from his injuries, Zhao Feng had already left the battlefield. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms roamed around the battlefield trying to find Zhao Feng, causing the hearts of the humans to twitch.


    Luckily, Zhao Yufei''s battle-power attracted the attention of the non-humans, and they sent Sacred Lord Myriad Forms to deal with the Thirteenth Prince.


    Nan Gongsheng''s eyes flashed, and he licked his lips as the evil power within his body started to move.


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, I didn''t kill you last time, and now you''re trying to kill yourself?" Zhao Feng laughed.


    Now that he had broken through to the Mystic Light Realm, fighting against Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was not a problem anymore. He could also leave the late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord standing next to Sacred Lord Myriad Forms to Nan Gongsheng. Nan Gongsheng hadn''t met a strong opponent yet and was becoming impatient.


    "Ridiculous!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms revealed a disdainful expression.


    If it wasn''t for the powerful arrow Zhao Feng used last time, how could he have lost? Furthermore, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had completely consolidated his cultivation while recovering from his injuries and was stronger than ever.


    He didn''t believe Zhao Feng had any more of those arrows. Even if Zhao Feng did, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms believed he could run away just like last time.


    "Hehehe!" Zhao Feng laughed coldly. If Zhao Feng shot out the dark golden arrow that focused on the soul last time, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms wouldn''t have been able to escape.


    "Elder Sky Trampler, I''ll leave the other two humans to you!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms said to the elephantman Sacred Lord next to him.


    In order to kill Zhao Feng, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms paid a price to invite Sacred Lord Sky Trampler to help him.


    Of course, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms didn''t invite Sacred Lord Sky Trampler to help him kill Zhao Feng; all Sacred Lord Sky Trampler was going to do was stall the other Sacred Lords. Zhao Feng would be reserved for himself.


    "I don''t put two early-stage Sacred Lords in my eyes!" Sacred Lord Sky Trampler said arrogantly, but his gaze landed on Nan Gongsheng for a while.


    Whoosh!


    The two non-human Sacred Lords instantly moved and released their power.


    "Myriad Forms Earth World!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' Eyes of Myriad Forms started to spin, and all of Heaven and Earth started to tremble as the power of nature started to rise. A dark yellow mist suddenly filled the sky, and a terrifying pressure descended.


    The Eyes of Myriad Forms had changed the element of nature itself. It wasn''t a domain, and there was no way to get out of it.


    Nan Gongsheng and Sacred Lord Gonghuang''s body became heavy, and they felt a resistive force around them.


    Boom! Peng!


    Sacred Lord Sky Trampler stomped downward, and a dark yellow Mystic Light Sacred Power appeared. Space nearby started to shake, and all of the Earth element nearby was completely controlled.


    "Not good. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms has changed the environment, and Sacred Lord Sky Trampler cultivates an Earth-elemental technique!"


    Sacred Lord Gonghuang''s expression became grim. Being a late-stage Sacred Lord, the enemy already had the advantage. With the power of nature helping him as well, Sacred Lord Sky Trampler''s power would only become greater.


    However, in comparison, he would rather face Sacred Lord Sky Trampler than Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    Killing intent flashed through Nan Gongsheng''s eyes as a purple-and-blood-colored divine light shot out from his back and filled the air. It even managed to damage part of the Myriad Forms Earth World.


    "What a powerful Little World projection!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang''s expression turned to joy.


    Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng didn''t bother with Sacred Lord Gonghuang, he simply charged forward. His forceful Little World could get rid of the pressure from the Myriad Forms Earth World.


    "Sky Trampling First Stance!" Sacred Lord Sky Trampler used a technique and lifted his right foot before slamming it down. A surge of Earth-elemental power seemed to explode through space and shoot toward Nan Gongsheng.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Gonghuang also released his Little World projection to help fight back against the pressure of the dark yellow world and went to help Nan Gongsheng. He was surprised and overjoyed by Nan Gongsheng''s battle-power, but it was still hard for Nan Gonsheng to handle Sacred Lord Sky Trampler alone. Once Nan Gongsheng lost, Sacred Lord Gonghuang would certainly not be Sacred Lord Sky Trampler''s match.


    Peng! Peng! Boom!


    At the edge of the area where the Sacred Lords fought, the Ninth Prince led some peak Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords to fight against a few non-human experts.


    In the center of this dark yellow world, Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had already started to fight.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!"


    Zhao Feng circulated his Earth of Wind Lightning and merged it into his Sacred Lightning Body. Zhao Feng''s Sacred Body instantly grew taller, and dark yellow lightning glittered around him. He looked extremely powerful, and he seemed like a golden God of War.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and charged toward Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "He''s not affected by the Myriad Forms Earth World!?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms exclaimed as he looked at the floating Zhao Feng.


    Because he had fought against Zhao Feng before, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms knew that Zhao Feng didn''t specialize in the elements of Earth or Metal. The reason Sacred Lord Myriad Forms invited Sacred Lord Sky Trampler was because he cultivated an Earth-elemental technique, and they could kill Zhao Feng with it.


    However, when they met this time, Zhao Feng was capable of using the power of Earth.


    "Sword of Piercing Metal!" Rainbow-colored Mystic Light Sacred Power surged from Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and instantly turned into a pure Metal-elemental attack.


    From Earth came Metal; his Sword of Piercing Metal met no resistance in this environment, and it actually became stronger.


    "Physical Force Lightning Domain, Fire of Wind Lightning!"


    Fire countered Metal, so Zhao Feng circulated the Fire of Wind Lightning to form the Physical Force Lightning Domain.


    A scarlet-golden domain of lightning and scorching heat instantly appeared around Zhao Feng''s body.


    The sword of golden light was instantly suppressed by the power of lightning, fire, and physical force when it got close.


    "Tornado of Wind Lightning!"


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, and a terrifying force of Fire of Wind Lightning that contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning clashed with Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' attack.


    "The power of his Fire element can actually destroy my Metal-elemental attack?"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' expression froze for a moment, and he was slightly surprised. Amongst the five elements, he didn''t realize that Zhao Feng''s forte was Fire. Zhao Feng''s Blood Devil Sun bloodline was also of the Fire element.


    "Take this move!"


    Zhao Feng thrust out his palm. He didn''t need to be scared of Sacred Lord Myriad Forms at all. This attack didn''t contain any element; it was pure physical strength. He knew that the Eyes of Myriad Forms had extremely strong defense against elemental attacks, otherwise Zhao Feng''s replica God Slaying Arrow from before would have been able to kill Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Little tricks!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' focused his eyes, and a dark yellow wall of Earth formed in front of him and blocked everything ahead of him.


    Peng! Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s pure physical strength attack was blocked by the wall. After all, the element of Earth specialized in defense.


    "Mental Energy Spike!"


    Zhao Feng activated his left eye, and a purple-golden crystalline spike of lightning shot through the wall of Earth into Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' soul.


    "Arghhhhh¡­!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms instantly screamed as lightning crackled through his soul and made it tremble.


    "Looks like Soul eye-bloodline techniques are the most effective against you!" Zhao Feng said.


    The Eyes of Myriad Forms had extremely strong offensive and defensive power when it came to the physical dimension. Any elemental attack didn''t have much of an effect on him.


    "Dammit, this human''s eye-bloodline is Soul-based!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes started to spin. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms knew that his weakness was his soul, so he purposely cultivated soul-defending techniques, but Zhao Feng was still able to injure him.


    "Storm of Metal Swords!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms released a wave of Mystic Light Sacred Power and prepared to finish off Zhao Feng as quickly as possible.


    "Illusion Maze Domain!"


    Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique to approach Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and unleash a Soul eye-bloodline technique.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye became a limitless world of purple-and-gold mazes that was extremely alluring.


    Weng~~


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms couldn''t help but look at Zhao Feng''s eyes, and he instantly felt himself lose control of his consciousness. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' skill was also interrupted because of Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique.


    Weng!


    Zhao Feng suddenly stopped the Illusion Maze Domain as a large wave of flames that glittered with a purple crystalline light and wisps of God Tribulation Lightning appeared from his left eye.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng unleashed this Soul eye-bloodline attack while Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' Soul Intent hadn''t recovered yet. A dark purple lightning-fire exploded in Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' face and started to burn.


    This made Zhao Feng remember the first time he fought Sacred Lord Myriad Forms; back then, Zhao Feng could only defend, but now, Zhao Feng was the one unleashing continuous soul attacks against Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Dammit, this brat¡­!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' soul became heavily injured, and he was enraged.


    His Eyes of Myriad Forms controlled the power of Myriad Forms, but Zhao Feng had also comprehended many elements, including the elements of Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and many more. This meant that Zhao Feng was completely resilient against a lot of the powers of the Eyes of Myriad Forms.


    However, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms wasn''t resilient against Zhao Feng''s soul attacks. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms suddenly realized that Zhao Feng countered him.


    "Myriad Forms Dimension!"


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes started to spin. At this instant, Heaven and Earth seemed to tremble as countless elements and Intents filled the air. It was as if the world was meeting doomsday.


    "Not good. He''s going to release the Myriad Forms Dimension!"


    Zhao Feng''s heart moved. The Myriad Forms Dimension was one of Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' killing moves, and it was incredibly strong. Zhao Feng had personally witnessed it before.


    "I can''t let him unleash the Myriad Forms Dimension!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression darkened. He would become heavily suppressed in the Myriad Forms Dimension. Zhao Feng also knew that Sacred Lord Myriad Forms still had the Laws of Yin and Yang as a killing move.


    Hu~~~ Whoosh!


    The scarlet wings of lightning on Zhao Feng''s back fluttered as he approached Sacred Lord Myriad Forms


    "Gaze of the God Eye!"


    A strong surge of eye-bloodline power came from Zhao Feng''s left eye and formed a bottomless purple whirlpool that connected to a limitless purple abyss.


    A forbidden power that could suck out one''s soul covered Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. This forbidden power seemed to be the power of a God; no one could stop it.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' soul suddenly shook as it was slowly pulled out from his body.


    "What is this¡­!?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' heart trembled. If he continued to use his Eyes of Myriad Forms to form the Myriad Forms Dimension, he would be unable to protect his soul.

 1060 They’re All Here

    Chapter 1060 - They''re All Here


    "What is this¡­!?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' heart trembled. If he continued to use his Eyes of Myriad Forms to form the Myriad Forms Dimension, he would be unable to protect his soul. However, if he didn''t use his Myriad Forms Dimension, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms realized that he wouldn''t be Zhao Feng''s match.


    Zhao Feng had a calm expression as he used the Gaze of the God Eye to suppress Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and slowly drag his soul out. At the same time, Zhao Feng released his Divine Sense to see how Nan Gongsheng was doing.


    "Evil Demon Chaos!" Nan Gongsheng released surges of purple-and-blood-colored Mystic Light Sacred Power and thrust out his palms, sending waves of silver-and-purple ancient demonic light forward.


    Sacred Lord Sky Trampler, still in the Myriad Forms Earth World, had to go on the defensive.


    "Is this Nan Gongsheng''s true strength?" Sacred Lord Gonghuang was stunned. He felt that Nan Gongsheng was able to deal with Sacred Lord Sky Trampler alone.


    "Blood Devil Claw!" Nan Gongsheng revealed a bloodthirsty smile as he formed a purple-and-blood-colored claw that slashed toward Sacred Lord Sky Trampler.


    Sacred Lord Sky Trampler had a grim expression as he awakened the bloodline within his body and released a fierce aura.


    "Trampling the Earth, Shattering the Sky!"


    The image of a fierce elephant appeared around Sacred Lord Sky Trampler. This giant elephant raised its foot and stomped downward. A terrifying force caused Heaven and Earth to tremble as the laws of Earth shot out in every direction.


    "Nan Gongsheng, I''ll come help you!"


    Sacred Lord Gonghuang held a golden halberd and slashed out, releasing a golden dragon as he charged forward.


    Peng! Bam! Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng and Sacred Lord Gonghuang had the advantage when they teamed up, so they started suppressing Sacred Lord Sky Trampler.


    "It seems that, as Nan Gongsheng''s cultivation rises, his control over the power of the Evil God rises as well," Zhao Feng said gently.


    "This brat still has the heart to pay attention to other things¡­!?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was enraged. Zhao Feng was watching the other battle while still fighting with him.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes suddenly spun in a circle once, and a figure leapt out with a rainbow-colored light.


    Since Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' soul was being suppressed by Zhao Feng, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms couldn''t use his Myriad Forms Dimension, so he could only release his clone.


    "Clone?"


    Zhao Feng''s expression became grim. He couldn''t use other attacks when using the Gaze of the God Eye or else it would be interrupted. However, almost all Sacred Lords at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm or higher had a clone. This meant that, when dealing with Mystic Light Realms, the Gaze of the God Eye would be much less effective.


    "Die!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' clone blinked with a rainbow-colored Sacred Light as it charged at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng stopped the Gaze of the God Eye and punched out.


    Boom!


    A powerful force landed on Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' clone. When the attack appeared, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' clone turned into a metal ball. The Metal element increased his defense, and he was able to take the punch from Zhao Feng head-on.


    Bam!


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' clone was sent flying, and a large hole appeared in his chest. Even though Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' clone focused on defense, he was still unable to stop Zhao Feng''s punch.


    However, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' soul used this chance to return to his body and quickly pull away from Zhao Feng as he recalled his clone.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' clone had comprehended many laws and Intents within the Myriad Forms Dimension and understood much more than others, but Zhao Feng''s punch still severely injured and almost destroyed him.


    "How is this possible!? How did this human become so much stronger so quickly¡­?"


    Fear appeared on Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' face. In just two years, the human he could easily crush last time had reached the same level as him and even had the advantage.


    "That''s¡­!?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms seemed to sense something with his Eyes of Myriad Forms, and Zhao Feng''s left eye also fluttered slightly.


    A human group containing several powerful auras was closing in from the right side of the Ninth Prince.


    "Elder Sky Trampler, the humans have sent reinforcements. Retreat!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms immediately messaged. The power of Wind Lightning then surrounded him as he ran away.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' group wasn''t a match for the Ninth Prince''s group to begin with, and now, this new group was also very strong. If they didn''t run now, they wouldn''t have a chance to run later.


    On the other side, Sacred Lord Sky Trampler also knew the situation and immediately started to run by relying on the thick element of Earth nearby. His speed was also extremely quick.


    "You want to run?" Nan Gongsheng was feeling refreshed, and he immediately chased after Sacred Lord Sky Trampler.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Heaven and Earth started to move as a storm of ice formed before Nan Gongsheng. The chilling Intent of ice reduced Nan Gongsheng''s speed.


    "Nan Gongsheng, don''t chase after them!" Zhao Feng called Nan Gongsheng back.


    Even if Zhao Feng chased after Sacred Lord Myriad Forms personally, his hope of catching up wasn''t high. The Eyes of Myriad Forms could change the surroundings; the ground could turn into ice or a swamp. Lightning, fire, and various storms could also be easily summoned.


    The Eyes of Myriad Forms also specialized in the laws of Wind Lightning as well, so Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was at least as fast as Zhao Feng. This meant that, if one wanted to chase after Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, they first needed to be able to block the power of nature itself, and they also had to have speed that surpassed Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Your Highness Crown Prince, your recent achievements aren''t bad at all!" a voice slowly sounded as the group approached.


    "Brother Thirteenth Prince, your elder brother still can''t catch up to you!" The Ninth Prince had a calm expression.


    The newcomers were the Thirteenth Prince and his group, and at the front of the group was a female in purple. She was extremely stunning and elegant, and she instantly attracted everyone''s gaze.


    "Brother Feng¡­!" Zhao Yufei''s eyes were watery as she stared at Zhao Feng below. There was nothing else in her eyes.


    Nine years had passed since she saw Zhao Feng in the Divine Illusion Dimension. Nine years ¨C Zhao Yufei finally managed to see Zhao Feng once more.


    "Brother Feng, I can finally see you again¡­!"


    A purple figure leapt into Zhao Feng. Zhao Yufei''s eyes were slightly red; although she was happy, she also wanted to cry. She had too many things to say, and she wanted to tell Zhao Feng all about it.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed as he felt a soft body leap into him. The teary eyes of Zhao Yufei made his cheeks wet.


    "Yufei!" Zhao Feng also became emotional. Excitement and sadness appeared at the same time. He couldn''t distinguish what he was feeling.


    "Sister Yufei¡­!"


    On the side, the Thirteenth Prince''s face and ears were scarlet-red as anger covered his face. The Sacred Emperor and the Grand Elder of the Duanmu Family had already agreed to the marriage between them, but now, the girl he liked leapt into the embrace of another male. This made him extremely angry, and he was about to unleash his rage.


    "Master!" Zhao Feng looked at Duanmu Qing within the Thirteenth Prince''s group.


    Next to Duanmu Qing was a Sacred Lord of the Demonic Dao who coldly glanced at Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, the members of the Ninth Prince''s group who retreated earlier returned. Ji Lan''s inner heart shook slightly as she looked at the stunning goddess in Zhao Feng''s embrace, and she lowered her head, speechless.


    As more and more spectators arrived and discussed in low tones, Zhao Yufei''s face became red, and she let go of Zhao Feng.


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms has run away. Let''s conquer the stronghold ahead, then we''ll talk!" The Ninth Prince could tell that the Thirteenth Prince wasn''t here to reinforce them. There should be something that he wanted to talk about.


    The Ninth Prince''s group and the Thirteenth Prince''s groups pushed forward. They found no non-human groups on the way; it was obvious that they had given up on this stronghold.


    The groups soon arrived at an empty city. Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and Duanmu Qing gathered together in a hall.


    "Brother Feng, I¡­" Zhao Yufei wanted to tell Zhao Feng about the frustrations she had, but she didn''t know how to start. Her emotions were extremely chaotic right now. Although she had a noble bloodline and powerful strength, she was just a normal girl in terms of relationships.


    "I know everything¡­. Don''t worry, if you don''t want to do anything, no one can force you to do it!" Zhao Feng''s expression was solemn, and his tone was decisive.


    Zhao Feng wanted to kill the Thirteenth Prince a long time ago, but he never had a chance. Ever since, the Thirteenth Prince kept on testing Zhao Feng''s bottom line. Zhao Feng had his mind made up ¨C as long as he had a chance, he would take action. If the Thirteenth Prince died, then what was the point of the marriage?


    "Zhao Feng, Junior Martial Sister Yufei and I came to the battlefield to discuss the marriage with the Thirteenth Prince," Duanmu Qing said.


    They had talked to the Thirteenth Prince many times, and the Thirteenth Prince kept on saying that he would make Zhao Yufei fall in love with him. Therefore, every talk they had never resulted in anything.


    "I won''t agree to cancelling the marriage!" The Thirteenth Prince slowly walked into the hall and coldly looked at Zhao Feng.


    He was extremely angry over the plan he made with all his forces failing. If they had just managed to kill Zhao Feng back then, none of this would be happening right now.


    This was the second time he saw the girl he liked hugging Zhao Feng now. This pushed the Thirteenth Prince''s jealousy and killing intent toward Zhao Feng to the limit.


    However, he knew that Zhao Feng was very strong, and he could only rely on the forces that supported him and his mother to deal with Zhao Feng. As long as he didn''t agree to cancel the marriage, the Duanmu Family couldn''t force the Sacred Emperor to cancel the marriage.


    "Your Highness Thirteenth Prince, I will never like you!" Zhao Yufei looked at the Thirteenth Prince and spoke in a decisive and frustrated tone.


    "You¡­!" The Thirteenth Prince was enraged. The girl he liked had continuously injured his heart and ignored his love. On top of that, she hugged another male in front of everyone.


    At this moment, the Thirteenth Prince finally realized how disgusting the girl he liked was! Right now, he just wanted to kill Zhao Feng and torture Zhao Yufei!


    Zhao Feng looked at the Thirteenth Prince, and a stealthy ripple of mental energy passed through the air. No one in the entire stronghold sensed it.


    At this moment, a terrifying pressure descended onto this hall.


    "What''s going on? Are the non-humans counterattacking?" The Thirteenth Prince''s legs became soft as he immediately ran out.


    "Sacred Lord Black Iron, what happened?" The Thirteenth Prince arrived next to Sacred Lord Black Iron with fear.


    Sacred Lord Black Iron was the Demonic Dao Sacred Lord in his group. He was a Sacred Lord sent by Nine Darkness Palace to protect the Thirteenth Prince and create achievements.


    Sacred Lord Black Iron was at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm. One had to know that only a few late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords appeared in Lan Province, and they only appeared to stall the experts of the non-humans.


    Even the Crown Prince only had Sacred Lord Gonghuang, who was at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, with him. If the forces that supported the Thirteenth Prince sent a late-stage Sacred Lord to support the Thirteenth Prince, the imperials wouldn''t give him a very good rating even if his results were good.


    Divine Senses appeared one after another in the city as Quasi-Sacred Lords and Sacred Lords appeared.


    "Those that are supposed to be here are all finally here!" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    "Zhao Feng, come out!" A thunderous roar boomed and shook the city, as if it was going to shatter it.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng appeared in the air above the hall and looked at the handsome youth with short hair in front of him.


    "Long time no see, Little Kun Yun!"

 1061 Origin Source of the Ancien

    Chapter 1061 - Origin Source of the Ancient


    "Long time no see, Little Kun Yun!"


    Zhao Feng appeared in the air above the city and looked at the handsome youth with short hair in front of him.


    After breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, Kun Yun finally managed to get rid of the effects of the Immortal Springs Wine and the Everlasting Appearance Grass, so he managed to escape having the body of a child.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re courting death!" Kun Yun''s eyebrows furrowed.


    Zhao Feng still dared to call him Little Kun Yun? He was a Demigod in his past life, and even now, he was at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    Zhao Feng''s current cultivation stunned Kun Yun though. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be able to reach the Mystic Light Realm so fast after re-cultivating. However, the difference between the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm and the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm was very big.


    Kun Yun was at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and he could already use a wisp of Divine Power. He had many secret techniques and methods in his memory as well. He actually had the ability to fight against a Sacred King.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Ninth Prince, Zhao Yufei, and Nan Gongsheng appeared nearby.


    "Nan Gongsheng? I didn''t expect you to come as well!" Kun Yun was slightly surprised. Nan Gongsheng left the True Martial Sacred Land half a year earlier than him, and he was now together with Zhao Feng.


    "Kun Yun!" The Ninth Prince and Sacred Lord Black Iron exclaimed. When one mentioned this name, everyone would remember Demigod Kun Yun, who was once famous throughout the continent.


    This Kun Yun in front of them had come to the battlefield several months ago and killed non-humans in a frenzy in order to obtain war points. His strength even made a non-human Sacred King come out; the two had a fight, and Kun Yun was forced to retreat.


    "Demigod Kun Yun?" Duanmu Qing''s gaze froze as he looked at the golden figure in the sky. He couldn''t think properly.


    "How is Zhao Feng related to Kun Yun?" The Ninth Prince was stunned. From the looks of it, Kun Yun was here to cause trouble for Zhao Feng.


    "Hehehe! Zhao Feng really knows how to cause trouble wherever he goes. He even offended Kun Yun!" The Thirteenth Prince became happy.


    Sacred Lord Black Iron became overjoyed as well and waited to watch the show.


    "Kun Yun, I was the one that revived you. How can you take revenge on me?" Zhao Feng questioned with a calm expression.


    "What? Zhao Feng revived Demigod Kun Yun?"


    The two princes, Sacred Lord Black Iron, Duanmu Qing, and all the other members present took cold breaths in shock.


    Three-star powers and even four-star powers were shocked at Kun Yun''s reappearance in the continent zone, and they didn''t know that Demigod Kun Yun had been revived by Zhao Feng. This was indeed shocking news.


    "You revived me indeed, but¡­" Kun Yun''s eyebrows furrowed together. The reason he hated Zhao Feng was because the latter had enslaved him while he was weak. Zhao Feng then used him while he was enslaved. Zhao Feng also obtained his Demigod head and Demigod blood. Kun Yun also had to fight against the Emperor of Death and almost died. How else would a Demigod feel when enslaved by an ant?


    "When I was your master, I gave you countless resources!" Zhao Feng completed Kun Yun''s sentence.


    "You¡­!" Demigod Kun Yun instantly became enraged and released a terrifying pressure that almost completely froze Heaven and Earth. As expected, his previous master could make him feel disgusted anywhere and anytime. Zhao Feng had spoken of his humiliation in front of everyone.


    The members of the two groups below became dazed. Just the thought of enslaving someone that used to be a Demigod was incredible.


    "Zhao Feng used to be Kun Yun''s master?" Zhao Yufei and Duanmu Qing were stunned.


    They didn''t expect Zhao Feng''s fortune in the Demigod Forgotten Garden to be so huge. Instead of just reviving Demigod Kun Yun, Zhao Feng even managed to enslave him.


    Everyone finally understood why Kun Yun hated Zhao Feng now.


    Boom!


    Kun Yun''s body flashed with a golden light, and mysterious golden talismans filled the air and released a powerful physical force.


    "Kun Yun, are you sure you want to kill me?" Zhao Feng asked just as Kun Yun was about to take action.


    "Don''t even think about harming Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei immediately arrived next to Zhao Feng. Purple light sparkled around her snow-white skin as she released the pressure of her powerful bloodline.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby started to gather into a storm, and all the experts nearby felt their bloodlines and True Yuan tremble.


    "Yufei, come back!" the Thirteenth Prince immediately called out. No one could describe how happy the Thirteenth Prince was when he knew that there was a feud between Kun Yun and Zhao Feng, but right as Demigod Kun Yun was about to attack, Zhao Yufei rushed over.


    On the other side, the Ninth Prince didn''t know what to do either. Firstly, he couldn''t help Zhao Feng at all with his power. Secondly, he might offend a Demigod; at that time, even the imperials wouldn''t be able to save him.


    Sacred Lord Gonghuang didn''t move either. He didn''t dare to; Demigods were the strongest experts in the continent zone. Even the Grand Imperial Hall wouldn''t allow him to offend a Demigod.


    Although Kun Yun was only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, he was a revived Demigod, so he would probably be able to recover to his peak soon.


    "This bloodline¡­!" Kun Yun inspected Zhao Yufei in shock. Even he was affected by the bloodline within Zhao Yufei''s body.


    If he was correct, this bloodline was from the Spiritual Race, ranked 19th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Kun Yun couldn''t help but look at Zhao Feng with jealousy; a female with such a noble bloodline dared to risk themselves for Zhao Feng?


    "So what if I kill you!?" Kun Yun roared as he released a physical force toward Zhao Feng that could suppress the heavens.


    "Hehe, Kun Yun, don''t be in a rush. The feud between us isn''t even that big. What do you get out of killing me?" Zhao Feng laughed as he circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power.


    Weng~~ Boom! Boom!


    At this instant, a layer of dark yellow Sacred Light glittered around Zhao Feng.


    "Physical Force Lightning Domain!" Zhao Feng released a surge of powerful lightning at the same time as Kun Yun''s pressure, which also covered Heaven and Earth.


    Kun Yun, who suddenly rushed into Zhao Feng''s domain, was suppressed to a certain degree. Zhao Feng then circulated his Earth of Wind Lightning to increase his defense.


    On the other side, Zhao Yufei thrust out her palm, and a wave of purple light that radiated a terrifying Yuan Qi shot toward Kun Yun.


    "Hmph!" Kun Yun snickered coldly as the golden talismans around his body released a wave of lightning and blocked Zhao Yufei''s offense.


    The bloodline of the Spiritual Race was indeed scary, but Kun Yun''s methods and techniques were extremely profound.


    The two terrifying physical forces clashed and caused all of Heaven and Earth to shake. Cracks appeared in space itself.


    "What power!" The people below felt their bodies and bloodlines tremble due to the pressure.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng was pushed back several hundred steps before managing to stabilize himself.


    "You''ve cultivated the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body?"


    Kun Yun was stunned. Demigod Kun Yun was a body-strengthener in his previous life, and after being revived, he chose to focus on body-strengthening once more. He had accomplished much more at this stage than he had in his past life.


    However, at this point in time, Zhao Feng was able to block his physical force by relying on his own physical power too. Kun Yun immediately thought of the skill that Zhao Feng obtained in the Heaven''s Legacy City ¨C the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body.


    Kun Yun didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be able to reach such a high level in the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body within ten years. How was that even possible? Even Demigod Kun Yun had only cultivated his Golden Kun Sacred Body to the 6th level!


    Furthermore, he could tell that Zhao Feng also cultivated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique due to the Physical Force Lightning Domain Zhao Feng just used.


    "Kun Yun, you''re only becoming more retarded with age. What''s the point in killing me? Do you not want to know why I can cultivate the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body so quickly?" Zhao Feng revealed a cunning smile.


    The Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was a tier higher than the Golden Kun Sacred Body, and yet Zhao Feng''s progress speed was still able to catch up to Kun Yun.


    Zhao Yufei stopped attacking after seeing Kun Yun stop as well. After all, even if she used her full power, she could only stall Kun Yun for a short while. Besides, Zhao Feng didn''t seem to be worried, so Zhao Yufei relaxed as well.


    "You have that meat, but of higher quality?" Kun Yun''s heart moved. When he followed Zhao Feng, he had obtained a large amount of flesh that contained an original source of Heaven and Earth. This flesh played a vital part in recovering his strength, but that meat from before was useless to Kun Yun now unless Zhao Feng had meat of higher quality.


    Kun Yun couldn''t imagine how Zhao Feng had these resources, but he was the only one with them.


    "In order to show that I''m honest and came with good intentions, I can give you some good benefits first!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled and spoke as he handed over an interspatial ring.


    Kun Yun was in half-belief and half-doubt when he took the interspatial ring that Zhao Feng gave him. He then put his Divine Sense into it while still maintaining the state of his Golden Kun Sacred Body.


    "This is¡­!?" Kun Yun was stunned, and he looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    "What''s inside?"


    "I heard Senior Kun Yun say something about flesh¡­."


    Everyone in the city wanted to know what was in the interspatial ring that it could shock someone who was once a Demigod.


    "There''s probably a peerless treasure in there!" Greed appeared in the Thirteenth Prince''s eyes as he stared at the interspatial ring. It was impossible to take it away from Kun Yun, but Zhao Feng definitely had more of such a treasure. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have given it to a hostile former Demigod so easily.


    "Sacred Lord Black Iron, I believe Nine Darkness Palace will be interested in what''s inside that interspatial ring¡­." The Thirteenth Prince and Sacred Lord Black Iron started to message one another.


    Zhao Feng smiled confidently. He had one Earth Shattering Raging Bull within the interspatial ring. The bloodline of the Earth Shattering Raging Bull was even stronger than the Golden Winged Scarlet Tiger''s bloodline. Furthermore, the overall strength of the Earth Shattering Raging Bull was very high; a lot of energy was contained within them.


    The flesh of the Earth Shattering Raging Bull contained the element of Earth, so Zhao Feng unleashed fierce attacks against the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls and didn''t care about their casualties since he could just use them as resources.


    As long as they could negotiate, it was fine. Zhao Feng didn''t want to face Nine Darkness Palace and Kun Yun at once. However, Zhao Feng was surprised by Demigod Kun Yun''s stunned expression. Did the flesh of the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls have other uses that he didn''t know of?


    This is one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and its bloodline is very concentrated. It has a large amount of blood essence, which can be used to recover my bloodline power. The main thing is that the flesh of this Earth Shattering Raging Bull radiates a wisp of the Origin Source of the Ancients¡­. Kun Yun''s expression was grim.


    He had awakened the memories of his previous life, so he obviously knew what the critical point of becoming a God was. He was precisely thinking about how to obtain the Origin Source of the Ancients, but the flesh of this beast Zhao Feng just gave him contained a wisp of the Origin Source of the Ancients!


    "Zhao Feng, since you''re so honest, we can talk about things!" Demigod Kun Yun concealed his aura as his expression calmed down.


    Indeed, the feud between them wasn''t very big, and now, Zhao Feng could help him break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm.

 1062 Zhao Feng’s Assassination

    Chapter 1062 - Zhao Feng''s Assassination


    "Zhao Feng, since you''re so honest, we can talk about things!" Demigod Kun Yun concealed his aura as his expression calmed down.


    Indeed, the feud between them wasn''t very big, and now, Zhao Feng could help him break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    Why did Kun Yun have to kill Zhao Feng? His biggest wish was to surpass his previous life and become a God. The realm of Gods was something all the experts in the continent zone aimed for. They could do anything for it!


    Countless Mystic Light Realm experts had been stopped by this barrier. They couldn''t even touch the door to it. Countless Demigods had stayed stagnant for dozens of millennia and were unable to break through.


    Apparently, the last God from the continent zone appeared more than a hundred thousand years ago.


    Once one broke through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, their lifespan would transform by several dozen times. Most importantly, they could enter the center of the Fan Universe ¨C the Realm of Desolate Gods!


    Apparently, everything was there. There were giants thousands of yards tall, the Ancient Golden Crow that supplied light and warmth to the Fan Universe, the Heaven''s Legacy Race that had supposedly become extinct, forbidden existences like the Ancient Warlock Race, and the unique Eight Great God Eyes¡­.


    Whoosh!


    The minds of countless experts in the city shook. The Demigod Kun Yun who just hated Zhao Feng now acted in an extremely friendly manner. What was in that interspatial ring for it to attract someone that was once a Demigod!?


    Even the Ninth Prince, Nan Gongsheng, Sacred Lord Gonghuang, and company were extremely curious and wanted to ask Zhao Feng what it was.


    "How did it turn out like this?" The Thirteenth Prince was stunned.


    Kun Yun gave up just like that? Even if the items in the interspatial ring were extremely rare and tempting, Kun Yun could just kill Zhao Feng and take everything!


    Why didn''t Kun Yun do that? What did the interspatial ring contain? The Thirteenth Prince''s heart dropped as Zhao Feng and Kun Yun were apparently about to team up.


    "Yufei, let''s leave!" the Thirteenth Prince immediately said.


    "I''m staying behind!" Zhao Yufei said without even looking at the Thirteenth Prince.


    "You¡­!" The Thirteenth Prince was extremely frustrated and wanted to say something, but he didn''t.


    It was very obvious that Zhao Yufei and Duanmu Qing were standing on the Ninth Prince''s side, and now Kun Yun was teaming up with Zhao Feng. Unleashing his rage here would only cause trouble for himself.


    "Let''s go!" The Thirteenth Prince glared at Zhao Feng and left with the members of his group.


    Kun Yun then descended into the city. The other members were stunned when they saw Zhao Feng and Kun Yun walk into a hall.


    "The beast you just gave me was the Earth Shattering Raging Bull from the Ten Thousand Ancient Races?" Kun Yun asked.


    The Earth Shattering Raging Bull within the interspatial ring contained a very pure ancient aura and bloodline, as if it was from ancient times. However, how was that possible? Even the ancient dimensions within the continent zone couldn''t have such beings unless it was the Desolate Realm of Gods!


    Zhao Feng didn''t say anything. He just calmly looked at Kun Yun.


    "How much more of this flesh do you have?" Kun Yun could tell that Zhao Feng wasn''t going to say anything from his expression. Kun Yun wasn''t too concerned about that question though, so he asked his next one.


    "It''s extremely hard to obtain this flesh. I believe you know that as well."


    Zhao Feng started to think. He was originally going to just give Kun Yun a bunch of resources, but it seemed he had underestimated the value of the Earth Shattering Raging Bull''s flesh. If that was the case, he needed to think carefully.


    "Speak. What other things do you want?" Kun Yun''s expression darkened. He knew that Zhao Feng was just trying to negotiate, but after inspecting the flesh of the Earth Shattering Raging Bull, he knew that it would indeed be difficult to acquire them.


    "Nine Darkness Palace!" Zhao Feng said directly.


    "Impossible. I wouldn''t be able to deal with Nine Darkness Palace even if I was at my peak!" Kun Yun immediately declined.


    Even though he was on the battlefield, he had heard of the feud between Zhao Feng and Nine Darkness Palace. According to what he knew, Nine Darkness Palace was once a four-star power that dropped to three stars, but they still had at least one Demigod expert.


    Kun Yun finally managed to revive. If he fought against Nine Darkness Palace now, it was the same as pushing himself into a fire pit.


    Kun Yun admired the fact that Zhao Feng could cause so much trouble. Back then, he offended the Emperor of Death, and now he even offended Nine Darkness Palace that had at least one Demigod expert.


    "I''m not asking you to flatten Nine Darkness Palace. You just need to help me at the critical moment, and I will give you corresponding resources according to how much help you give me!" Zhao Feng said what he was thinking.


    This meant that he wouldn''t need to be scared of Kun Yun hiding anything or holding back. In order to obtain more of the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls'' flesh, Kun Yun would help Zhao Feng as much as he could.


    They had worked together before, so they understood each other.


    "Deal!" Kun Yun thought for a moment before agreeing. There was no problem in him helping Zhao Feng as long as he didn''t enrage the Demigod from Nine Darkness Palace. If the Demigod from Nine Darkness Palace took action, Kun Yun would just not help Zhao Feng.


    "Take this. If you meet any trouble, put your Mystic Light Sacred Power into it!" Kun Yun threw an old square token to Zhao Feng.


    After all, Kun Yun couldn''t just stay next to Zhao Feng and be his bodyguard forever. Kun Yun now actually wanted Zhao Feng to cause trouble wherever he went.


    Kun Yun then immediately left.


    The energy and bloodline power within this flesh can awaken the bloodline within my body even further. Furthermore, this Origin Source of the Ancients¡­


    Zhao Yufei, Nan Gongsheng, Duanmu Qing, and company came to ask Zhao Feng some questions after Kun Yun left. Everyone only wanted to know what Zhao Feng gave Kun Yun. Zhao Feng replied that it was just some resources similar to the Blood Essence Pill and Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pill.


    Of course, Zhao Feng didn''t know how many of those pills one Earth Shattering Raging Bull could make.


    Zhao Feng then entered seclusion and saw no one else.


    "Brother Feng, I''ll cheer you on!" Zhao Yufei said before leaving. She understood what kind of enemies Zhao Feng was currently facing.


    Zhao Yufei had her own problems as well. If she was strong enough, no one could stop her, even if they were imperials. Therefore, she also needed to cultivate and increase her strength.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes after using his left eye to scan over the hall. There were no unusual disturbances.


    Hu!


    Zhao Feng soon sensed the location of the Thirteenth Prince. He set a Mark of the God Eye on the Thirteenth Prince right before Kun Yun arrived.


    ¡­


    The Thirteenth Prince''s expression was extremely ugly. He and his group were in a mountain range heading back to their stronghold.


    "Now that Yufei has left, I need to report this to the Lan Province War Hall and ask for Sacred Lord reinforcements!" the Thirteenth Prince said angrily.


    "Sacred Lord Black Iron, Nine Darkness Palace shouldn''t be scared of Kun Yun, who''s only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, right?" the Thirteenth Prince messaged privately.


    "I need to report this to the upper echelon first!" Sacred Lord Black Iron wasn''t tricked by the Thirteenth Prince.


    After all, Kun Yun was once a Demigod. Although he was "only" at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm right now, his true strength was immeasurable. Furthermore, Kun Yun had been tempted by Zhao Feng, and the two were now working together. Nine Darkness Palace definitely wouldn''t just ignore something that could attract Kun Yun.


    "Who''s there!?" Sacred Lord Black Iron immediately raised his head as he felt a faint wave of mental energy. His footsteps immediately froze, and his expression became solemn.


    A faint golden Eye of Heaven had appeared in the sky above the Thirteenth Prince''s group. It was surrounded by colorful Wind Lightning, and it looked emotionless. It seemed to exist alongside Heaven and Earth as it coldly gazed downward.


    The expressions of the Thirteenth Prince and the members in his group changed dramatically as they looked up at the sky in shock.


    "That eye seems to be Zhao Feng''s golden eye!" the Thirteenth Prince immediately exclaimed.


    "Hmph, Zhao Feng, what do you think you''re doing?" the Thirteenth Prince puffed out his chest and roared. He thought that Zhao Feng had been secretly following them and was hiding somewhere while using this unknown eye-bloodline technique to scare them.


    "Illusion Maze Domain!" a mysterious cold voice sounded in the mental energy dimension.


    Weng~~ Whoosh!


    The large golden eye turned into a limitless purple-and-gold maze that radiated an alluring force.


    "Thirteenth Prince, watch out!" Sacred Lord Black Iron immediately warned.


    The Thirteenth Prince was stunned. He didn''t think that Zhao Feng would be so bold as to actually attack him. A golden jade pendant with a dragon on it appeared in his hand, but before he could activate the power within it, his eyes were attracted to the golden Eye of Heaven in the sky. His soul was imprisoned in another dimension and completely cut off from his body.


    The Eye of Heaven could increase the strength of eye-bloodline techniques. It was extremely easy for Zhao Feng to control the Thirteenth Prince with his Illusion Maze Domain.


    Of course, the Illusion Maze Domain was an area-of-effect eye-bloodline technique. Everyone here was affected by this technique, but the Thirteenth Prince was Zhao Feng''s main target.


    "Zhao Feng, how dare you injure a prince!? This time, you''re dead for sure!"


    Being a member of Nine Darkness Palace, Sacred Lord Black Iron had always been thinking about how to cause trouble for Zhao Feng, but now, he suddenly decided to attack a prince. The imperials definitely wouldn''t let go of Zhao Feng, and the Grand Imperial Hall wouldn''t stop Nine Darkness Palace anymore. They might even take action against Zhao Feng themselves.


    Sacred Lord Black Iron tried his best to fight back against Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique while taking out a message talisman. Sacred Lord Black iron was only able to fight back because Zhao Feng was using this skill against almost forty experts.


    However, the next instant, a cold light pierced through his chest.


    "How is this possible¡­!?"


    The Sacred Power Whirlpool within Sacred Lord Black Iron''s body was severely injured, and an excruciating pain travelled through his body. Putting aside using the message talisman, he couldn''t even circulate his Mystic Light Sacred Power.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared in the air and disappeared with a flash.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    The faint golden Eye of Heaven in the sky locked onto Sacred Lord Black Iron and unleashed a powerful attack.


    Boom!


    At this instant, Sacred Lord Black Iron''s entire body started to burn with a purple-colored Soul flame. The power of God Tribulation Lightning within it ran amok and killed everything around him.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat unleashed countless critical strikes on Sacred Lord Black Iron''s vitals. Under the combined efforts of Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat, Sacred Lord Black Iron was killed, and the other members of the group were still dazed and controlled by Zhao Feng''s Illusion Maze Domain.

 1063 Arrival of a Sacred King

    Chapter 1063 - Arrival of a Sacred King


    "Little thieving cat, I''ll leave the rest to you!" Zhao Feng''s voice sounded in the little thieving cat''s soul.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger in its paws and turned into a streak of dark silver light that flashed in an instant.


    Shu!


    A cold glint sped through the members of the group. Almost everyone that hadn''t become a Sacred Lord yet was killed by the little thieving cat instantly.


    A cold dagger then pierced through the Thirteenth Prince''s heart, and the Thirteenth Prince died just like that.


    "Destroy the bodies!" Zhao Feng''s voice sounded once more before the golden eye in the sky slowly faded away.


    The little thieving cat''s figure then disappeared after accomplishing everything.


    ¡­


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes within the secret hall.


    "He''s finally dead!"


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath. No one would know how shocked Sacred Lord Black Iron and the Thirteenth Prince would''ve been if they knew Zhao Feng was still in the city. However, they would never know.


    "I probably won''t be found out!"


    Zhao Feng had used the Eye of Heaven to look over everything. There were no other groups within several dozen thousand miles, and no one from the Thirteenth Prince''s group managed to send out any information.


    However, there was always the unexpected. Experts at the Heavenly Divine Realm might be able to find something, or divination masters like the Six Warlock Sage might be able to divine it. However, no one would know it was Zhao Feng that killed the Thirteenth Prince at least in the short term. Therefore, Zhao Feng needed to use this time to increase his strength.


    Although Kun Yun had agreed to help Zhao Feng, it was partly because Kun Yun wasn''t confident he could kill Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng continued to supply resources to Kun Yun but didn''t become any stronger himself, he believed that Kun Yun would still kill him in the end.


    Therefore, the only way to survive and protect himself was to cultivate and become stronger.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng appeared in the Misty Spatial World, and some ancient rare resources appeared in his hand. Amongst them were Earth-elemental stones and herbs ¨C spoils of war obtained after conquering the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls race.


    The herbs and minerals within the Ancient Dream Realm helped Zhao Feng''s Earth of Wind Lightning dramatically. With the amount of resources Zhao Feng had already used, his Earth of Wind Lightning could have reached the early stages already, but Zhao Feng suppressed it in order to keep strengthening his Mystic Light Sacred Power. Although he wanted to increase his strength, he couldn''t rush it.


    The little thieving cat soon returned and jumped into the Misty Spatial World.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat reported the mission to Zhao Feng and asked for its reward.


    "You have become much stronger!" Zhao Feng said.


    The little thieving cat had also used up a lot of resources, and Zhao Feng could see its evolution. The little thieving cat had no bottleneck; as long as it had resources, it could become stronger.


    Since they had just taken over a stronghold, no action would be taken for a while. Therefore, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat just stayed in the Misty Spatial World and used the extinct resources of the Ancient Dream Realm to cultivate and become stronger.


    The duplication ability of the mysterious golden ball allowed Zhao Feng to continuously produce resources, but their effect would decrease after using it too much.


    News of the Thirteenth Prince dying on the battlefield spread ten days later. A late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord and several imperials personally went to the battlefield to find out what happened.


    According to the members in the Thirteenth Prince''s area, the Thirteenth Prince had gone to the Ninth Prince''s area but never returned. In fact, the Thirteenth Prince''s group had been together with the Ninth Prince''s group before an accident befell the Thirteenth Prince. Therefore, the Ninth Prince''s group was the most suspicious.


    However, Sacred Lord Gonghuang, an upper echelon of the Grand Imperial Hall, was present in the Ninth Prince''s group. This meant that it couldn''t have been the Ninth Prince''s group that killed the Thirteenth Prince.


    Besides, everyone knew about the feud between Zhao Feng and the Thirteenth Prince. If Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng teamed up, they could easily wipe out the Thirteenth Prince''s group.


    "On that day, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng both stayed behind!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang said. He wasn''t protecting Zhao Feng or Nan Gongsheng, he was just speaking the truth.


    "But Senior Kun Yun came by that day!" a peak Emperor in the group said in a quiet voice.


    "Kun Yun¡­." Those that had come from the Lan Province War Hall gently murmured.


    Kun Yun, who was once a Demigod, did indeed have the ability to kill early-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords rather easily, but why would he want to kill the Thirteenth Prince''s group?


    The late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord from the Lan Province War Hall and the imperials left the Ninth Prince''s city with no answer to their question. They continued to search for the culprit. Of course, they also couldn''t exclude the possibility that the Thirteenth Prince''s group may have killed by the non-humans.


    Zhao Feng returned to his hall after the people from the Lan Province War Hall left and continued to cultivate. It was good that they hadn''t found anything. Zhao Feng was also too lazy to care about Kun Yun; he believed that nothing would happen to Kun Yun anyway.


    "I didn''t think that brother Thirteenth Prince would be killed!" The Ninth Prince was stunned.


    While this was good news to him, he also wanted to know who knew about the Thirteenth Prince''s tracks and managed to kill his entire group without even letting them send a message out.


    News of the Thirteenth Prince''s group being massacred on the battlefield instantly spread throughout the lord dynasty and created discussions of every kind.


    One had to know that the members of the Thirteenth Prince''s group were all upper echelon members or geniuses of big forces, and Sacred Lord Black Iron was one of the Elders of Nine Darkness Palace. The Thirteenth Prince himself had the most support from various forces amongst all the princes.


    After the Sacred Emperor and Empress heard of this news, they were enraged and sent out many expert imperials to the front lines to find out what happened.


    This meant that more and more strong people started to appear on the battlefield. The non-humans realized that the humans had suddenly increased their forces, and they did the same thing. They sent in more experts to the battlefield, and the war became more intense.


    The upper echelon of the Lan Province War Hall also went to find Kun Yun, but they still didn''t come to a conclusion.


    Kun Yun''s strength had increased due to the flesh of the Earth Shattering Raging Bull that Zhao Feng gave him, and he killed large numbers of enemies, enraging the non-humans.


    At last, Sacred Kings finally appeared on the battlefield!


    ¡­


    In the Ninth Prince''s stronghold, almost all of the human groups from before had gathered here.


    "Continue pushing forward!"


    Everyone started to enter the warzone. Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei worked together while Duanmu Qing joined the Ninth Prince''s group and protected his safety. On the other hand, Nan Gongsheng worked alone.


    The non-humans were prepared and sent over a late-stage Sacred Lord. This late-stage Sacred Lord met Nan Gongsheng, and they fought. In the end, the late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord was defeated and ran away!


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng''s war points instantly jumped up after they took over two strongholds. Nan Gongsheng''s war points rose to the top one thousand on the Lan Province War Board while Zhao Feng reached 3rd place.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique within the Misty Spatial World and started to multitask.


    After several months of cultivation and large amounts of resources, his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had consolidated itself at the early stages of the Earth of Wind Lightning.


    The progress of his Soul Intent was relatively slow. After all, resources that helped the soul were extremely rare even in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng used the mysterious golden ball to continuously duplicate ancient herbs, such as the Spirit Gathering Soul Refining Grass, but its effect was drastically reduced after continuous consumption.


    "If my Soul Intent reaches the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, I might be able to try duplicating one of the replica God Slaying Arrows!" Zhao Feng analyzed.


    Of course, he wasn''t entirely sure he could duplicate it, and the energy used up would make Zhao Feng weak if he could.


    All in all, Zhao Feng had one short-term goal, and that was to become stronger until he could duplicate the substandard God Slaying Arrows.


    The substandard God Slaying Arrows dealt terrifying damage to late-stage Sacred Lords, and they could even threaten Sacred Kings. Zhao Feng only had one more substandard God Slaying Arrow, and he couldn''t use it because, if he did, he wouldn''t be able to duplicate it in the future!


    Zhao Feng suddenly felt a disturbance in the outside world and instantly left the Misty Spatial World.


    A terrifying power of Intents and laws descended around him.


    "This power¡­! Could it be a Sacred King!?" Zhao Feng immediately charged out with shock.


    A Sacred King of the mermaid race was fighting against Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and Sacred Lord Gonghuang.


    This was the territory that the Ninth Prince had just taken over. There were many other groups here, and three other Sacred Lords were present apart from the Ninth Prince''s group. However, normal Sacred Lords weren''t able to join a fight against a Sacred King.


    "I didn''t expect that we would attract a non-human Sacred King so quickly!"


    Zhao Feng felt a solemn atmosphere.


    The non-human in question was Sacred King Roaring Sky from the non-human war hall. Perhaps the non-humans had placed greater importance on the Ninth Prince''s group after Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and Sacred Lord Sky Trampler were defeated, and another non-human Sacred Lord had also been defeated by Nan Gongsheng earlier.


    Peng! Boom!


    Alongside a wave of destructive power, Sacred Lord Gonghuang, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei were defeated.


    "Retreat! Immediately retreat!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang immediately ordered.


    The difference between Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings was very big. It couldn''t be compared to the difference an early-stage Sacred Lord and a late-stage Sacred Lord. Even though Nan Gongsheng could defeat a late-stage Sacred Lord by himself, the three of them combined weren''t a match for Sacred King Roaring Sky.


    "All of you, retreat!" the Ninth Prince immediately ordered. Just one thought from Sacred King Roaring Sky could kill anyone who wasn''t a Sacred Lord. Remaining behind was completely useless; they would just be walking to their own deaths.


    Hu~ Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng circulated the Sacred Lightning Body and flew over with his Lightning Wings Flying Technique.


    "You guys retreat. We''ll stop him for now!" Zhao Feng said.


    Sacred Lord Gonghuang and Zhao Yufei immediately nodded their heads. Sacred King Roaring Sky was faster than the group, so if they wanted to retreat, they would be retreating from a Sacred King. Someone had to stay behind and stall Sacred King Roaring Sky.


    "You were too arrogant. That''s why the upper echelons sent me here to wipe out all the Sacred Lords present!" Sacred King Roaring Sky couldn''t help but snicker.


    In reality, the non-humans treated the Ninth Prince''s warzone on the same level as Kun Yun not only because there were so many Sacred Lords. It was mainly because the inheritors of the Spiritual Race bloodline and power of the Evil God were present. Killing Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng was the secret task that the upper echelons had given Sacred King Roaring Sky!

 1064 Four Star Forces Joining the War

    Chapter 1064 - Four Star Forces Joining the War


    "You were too arrogant. That''s why the upper echelons sent me here to wipe out all the Sacred Lords present!" Sacred King Roaring Sky couldn''t help but snicker as he looked at the two early-stage Mystic Light Realms and the two initial-stage Mystic Light Realms in front of him.


    Even though Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei were amongst these four Sacred Lords, their cultivation was too low, so they were unable to utilize the full potential of their terrifying power. Thus, they weren''t Sacred King Roaring Sky''s match. Today, the owner of the Spiritual Race bloodline and the inheritor of the Evil God would be killed by him.


    Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and company had ugly expressions. This was the first time everyone present was fighting against a Sacred King. An invisible pressure started to increase and cover them.


    Sacred Lord Gonghuang looked at Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei. If it wasn''t for them, Sacred Lord Gonghuang wouldn''t have stayed behind and done something so dangerous.


    "Fight while retreating!" Zhao Feng messaged the other three. The four of them didn''t stay behind to fight Sacred King Roaring Sky to the death. All they needed to do was stall him. Furthermore, the Ninth Prince had instantly sent a request for help the moment Sacred King Roaring Sky arrived.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng roared as the four instantly moved back.


    "Hmph, all of you shall die today!" Sacred King Roaring Sky said with an empowered expression as faint blue Mystic Light Sacred Power appeared around him, and a fierce Intent charged toward the escaping group.


    Hua!


    Sacred King Roaring Sky casually waved his scaly arm, and a beam of faint blue Mystic Light Sacred Power shot forward like a tsunami.


    Boom!


    Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng instantly stood out and released a supreme aura. One was extremely forceful and evil while the other was noble and elegant. The two forces blocked Sacred King Roaring Sky''s power.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng also circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power and thrust out a scarlet-golden palm of lightning toward the front. Sacred Lord Gonghuang also slashed out with his halberd.


    Their attacks clashed against Sacred King Roaring Sky''s attack.


    Bam!


    Sacred Lord Gonghuang''s attack was instantly crushed by Sacred King Roaring Sky''s power while Zhao Feng''s Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Power managed to weaken Sacred King Roaring Sky''s attack. The four of them were able to block an attack from Sacred King Roaring Sky by coordinating.


    "Hmm? This human¡­!" Sacred King Roaring Sky''s eyes suddenly focused on Zhao Feng. In the instant they exchanged moves, he could tell that Zhao Feng was not simple, and his strength wasn''t any weaker than Zhao Yufei or Nan Gongsheng.


    "Hehehe! Perfect! Today, the supreme prodigies of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty shall die here!" Sacred King Roaring Sky seemed to become excited as he started to face the four seriously.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and company started to speed backward after blocking the attack.


    "Roaring Waves, Howling Sky!" Sacred King Roaring Sky spread his arms, and a faint blue Mystic Light Sacred Power appeared.


    At this instant, the entire sky seemed to transform into faint blue waves and release a terrifying pressure of laws. Sacred King Roaring Sky waved his arms, and the terrifying attack swept toward the retreating group like a thousand-yard-tall tsunami.


    "So strong!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang swallowed his spit. Everyone felt as if they were extremely tiny against such a chaotic and powerful attack. It was as if they could perish at any moment.


    "Use your Little World projection to help us stop it!" Zhao Feng immediately said. Zhao Feng knew everyone relatively well, so he knew how they could utilize their specialties to resolve the danger in front of them.


    A storm of lightning first appeared behind Zhao Feng''s back. It turned into a ball of dark chaotic power that shot forward. Nan Gongsheng''s expression was serious as a purple-and-blood-colored evil divine light appeared behind him. Zhao Yufei pushed out with her hand, and a ball of purple flames that summoned the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi appeared nearby and formed a barrier ahead of them. Sacred Lord Gonghuang also released his golden Little World projection.


    At this instant, the power of four supreme Little Worlds teamed up and blocked Sacred King Roaring Sky''s attack.


    Peng! Boom! Boom!


    Sacred King Roaring Sky''s attack intertwined with the Little World projections in the air. Countless laws and Intents clashed with each another.


    Zhao Feng and company retreated again after releasing their Little World projections.


    If I was a bit stronger, I could use the Misty Spatial World and escape with the other three!


    Zhao Feng felt slightly regretful. It was extremely difficult to take three Sacred Lords through space even with Zhao Feng''s current cultivation unless the destination was extremely close by. However, Zhao Feng hadn''t left any spatial markings close by.


    "These guys¡­!" Sacred King Roaring Sky was surprised. Sacred King Roaring Sky wouldn''t be scared even if they all used their Little World projections, but they only used them to block his attack before running away again.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Sacred King Roaring Sky charged forward.


    "I''ll just kill one first!" Killing intent flashed through Sacred King Roaring Sky''s eyes. As long as he killed any one of them, it would reduce their overall strength. There would be no problem killing the others one by one afterward.


    Weng~


    A dark green halberd appeared in Sacred King Roaring Sky''s hand. It glittered with a faint blue light and seemed as if it could control all Water-elemental power. Sacred King Roaring Sky gripped the halberd and slashed forward.


    Whoosh!


    An arc of green water shot out and summoned the power of Heaven and Earth as it sliced toward Sacred Lord Gonghuang. Sacred King Roaring Sky could obviously tell that Sacred Lord Gonghuang was the weakest of the four.


    "Nan Gongsheng!" Zhao Feng immediately called out. Although Sacred Lord Gonghuang wasn''t very strong, he was still useful. They couldn''t let him die just like that.


    Hu~~


    Nan Gongsheng charged toward Sacred Lord Gonghuang and took out a green-bronze shield with carvings of a beast on it. This was a substandard God item ¨C the Golden Pond Shield. Nan Gongsheng had obtained it Xie Yang Palace.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    Howls and roars sounded from the green-bronze shield as the image of a beast appeared and covered Nan Gongsheng and Sacred Lord Gonghuang.


    Booom!


    Sacred King Roaring Sky''s attack landed on the image of the beast and quickly sped through it, but when the line of green water clashed against the green-bronze shield, there wasn''t enough power left for it to pierce through it. At last, Sacred King Roaring Sky''s attack was stopped by Nan Gongsheng''s substandard God item.


    "That''s a substandard God item!" Sacred King Roaring Sky''s eyes shook as greed appeared in them. Even he didn''t have a substandard God item.


    "Quick, go!" Zhao Feng roared. At the same time, a green light appeared in his hand. This green light was the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly that had recently broken through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly had successfully broken through soon after Zhao Feng, but he never had a need for it recently.


    At this instant, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly was smoother than before, and it glittered with a faint green light. It released a terrifying bloodline aura the instant it appeared and attracted everyone''s attention.


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly opened its mouth and spat out a five-colored silk that instantly filled the air within several hundred yards. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly then flapped its wings after spitting out the silk and released dreamy pollen that landed on Sacred King Roaring Sky.


    Although the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly couldn''t stop Sacred King Roaring Sky directly, its Dream Pollen still had a certain effect.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto Sacred King Roaring Sky and gathered a huge amount of soul power. This was the strongest Wind Lightning Eye Flame that he ever used in his life.


    The instant Sacred King Roaring Sky froze, a ball of purple fire exploded in his face.


    "What powerful Soul Intent!" Zhao Feng could feel that Sacred King Roaring Sky''s soul was extremely refined and indestructible like metal. Even if Zhao Feng released a bunch of God Tribulation Lightning, he would still be unable to damage Sacred King Roaring Sky.


    Boom! Weng~~~~


    After using that move, Zhao Feng used the Wings of Wind and Lightning to catch up to Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and Sacred Lord Gonghuang.


    Zhao Feng was the fastest of the four. If he used the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, he would be slightly faster than even late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng released a surge of Wind Lightning Sacred Power as he took the other three and sped off.


    "Dammit, this bunch of vermin!" Sacred King Roaring Sky was furious. These four human Sacred Lords had countless methods, including even a Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly and defensive substandard God weapon.


    "Roaring Wave of Destruction!" Sacred King Roaring Sky squinted his eyes, looked at the four that just escaped several thousand miles, and threw out the dark green halberd.


    Boom! Bam! Bam!


    This dark green halberd contained a stunning force of Water. Heaven and Earth turned into water wherever the halberd passed by.


    At this instant, it seemed as if all the power of Heaven and Earth was crushing toward them. Heaven and Earth had turned into a blue-green color, as if they were engulfed in a whirlpool.


    "Not good, Sacred King Roaring Sky''s too strong!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang shook his head in despair.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei was unable to fight back as well, and she grabbed Zhao Feng with her jade-like hands.


    Hu!


    At this moment, Nan Gongsheng stepped out. They could only rely on his defensive substandard God item to block Sacred King Roaring Sky''s attack.


    "Nan Gongsheng, there''s no need!" Zhao Feng said calmly, causing Nan Gongsheng to freeze. Did Zhao Feng have some sort of plan?


    Suddenly, a terrifying pressure of draconic providence descended onto Heaven and Earth. A golden dragon-shaped sword-beam shot out from behind their group and clashed against the dark green halberd.


    Peng! Boom!


    The terrifying clash of Sacred Power shook Heaven and Earth as a deep explosion swept out in every direction.


    "All of you, retreat!" A magnificent golden figure appeared in the air above the four.


    "Thank you for helping us, Senior Yulong!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang revealed a respectful expression and gave a deep bow toward the figure in gold.


    Zhao Feng and company then immediately started to retreat.


    Seeing his attack stopped, Sacred King Roaring Sky looked grimly at Sacred King Yulong.


    "The upper echelon of the Grand Imperial Hall has come to the battlefield?" Sacred King Roaring Sky asked.


    "Isn''t the Dark Capital Cult on their way to the battlefield as well?" Sacred King Yulong replied with a smile.


    The hearts of Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and company shook. They didn''t think that the peak forces of the two lord dynasties ¨C the Grand Imperial Hall and the Dark Capital Cult ¨C would already be taking action.


    Originally, the war wouldn''t have reached such a level so quickly, but after Kun Yun arrived at the battlefield, things accelerated. Zhao Yufei, Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Feng, and company had also performed too well and caught the attention of the non-humans.


    Yu Tianhao, Xuanyuan Wen, Tie Lingyun, and company were also becoming stronger very quickly on the battlefields of Ling Province and Shuang Province. They were all ranked in the war boards as well.


    The last point was the Thirteenth Prince''s death. His death made the imperials send many experts to the front lines.


    The combination of all these reasons pushed the tide of the war forward, and the strongest four-star forces in each lord dynasty were finally heading toward the battlefield.

 1065 Sky Fire Lightning Ape

    Chapter 1065 - Sky Fire Lightning Ape


    The participation of these two four-star superpowers meant that the war had entered the critical stages where the winner would soon be decided. At this moment in time, Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and company once against felt how tiny they were and how useless they were in a war between the two lord dynasties.


    "Hmph, I''ll let you go today then!" Sacred King Roaring Sky glanced at Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and company and could only leave unwillingly.


    He had to admit that, while the cultivation of these four Sacred Lords was low, they were much stronger than normal Sacred Lords. With the addition of Sacred King Yulong, Sacred King Roaring Sky had no chance of winning. Besides, he needed to go back and report some intel.


    "The entire continent shall be ours soon!" Sacred King Roaring Sky''s tone was certain as he sped away in a jet of water.


    "Sacred Lord Gonghuang, be careful in the future!" Sacred King Yulong didn''t stop Sacred King Roaring Sky from leaving, he simply spoke to Sacred Lord Gonghuang instead.


    "Understood, Senior Yulong!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang was very respectful.


    Sacred King Yulong''s gaze landed on Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei. Of these two, one had the power of the Evil God and was still able to maintain his consciousness while the other had the Spiritual Race bloodline, which was ranked 19th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. If these two managed to mature, the non-humans wouldn''t be able to be cocky anymore.


    Sacred King Yulong then deeply glanced at Zhao Feng. The owner of the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline of the Tie Family, the Grand Elder of the three-star Hall of Gods, and someone who managed to survive even after fighting Nine Darkness Palace for so long. He had even defeated Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and chased after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss. Such accomplishments made Zhao Feng''s influence surpass even Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng''s.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred King Yulong turned into a golden beam of light and immediately disappeared.


    "Let''s go meet up with the Ninth Prince!" Zhao Feng said after Sacred King Yulong left.


    The group of four then headed toward the next stronghold. Almost all the experts had gathered here; after all, with the appearance of a non-human Sacred King, they definitely wouldn''t remain on the front lines.


    "It''s Sacred Lord Gonghuang!"


    "Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei are also there!"


    "They''re back!"


    All the experts in the city had excited and joyful expressions. After all, it was because of these four that they managed to escape from Sacred King Roaring Sky.


    Several famous experts gathered together in a secret hall.


    "I didn''t expect the Grand Imperial Hall and Dark Capital Cult to have already entered the battlefield!" the Ninth Prince exclaimed.


    These two four-star powers could be said to be the real rulers of their respective Lord Dynasty.


    "This means that almost all the other forces in the lord dynasty need to gather here as well!" The eyes of an elder twinkled.


    The war had entered the critical stages. If the Grand Imperial Hall was defeated, then the entire Lord Dynasty would fall. Therefore, almost all the forces within the lord dynasty would participate in the war in order to ensure they won.


    "I also received some news. The subordinate forces of the Grand Imperial hall have entered the battlefield more than three months ago."


    Some of the members discussed what happened as well as the progress of the war within the hall.


    From Zhao Feng''s point of view, the true factor that would decide who won was the peak experts. Being an initial-stage Sacred Lord, Zhao Feng couldn''t change the tide of the war much.


    Using this chance to increase my strength is the most important! Zhao Feng thought.


    It didn''t matter which lord dynasty won; as long as he had unrivalled battle-power there was nothing to be worried about!


    Zhao Feng prepared to enter seclusion and increase his strength after the meeting ended.


    "Nan Gongsheng, it''ll be best for you to not show yourself as much!" Zhao Feng said on the way.


    Now that the war between the lord dynasties was reaching the final stages, the thing that would decide the outcome would be the most powerful experts. Thus, the Demigod from Nine Darkness Palace would definitely be present.


    The Demigod from Nine Darkness Palace might not attack the Hall of Gods, but they might act against Nan Gongsheng!


    At this point, Zhao Feng wasn''t planning to enter the battlefield much anymore. Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and himself would only attract Sacred King-level non-humans if they appeared. With their current strength, they obviously couldn''t fight back against a Sacred King. One mistake could result in their deaths.


    On the other hand, he was expanding in the Ancient Dream Realm and had the duplication ability of his left eye, so he didn''t need any more resources right now.


    "I know!" Nan Gongsheng returned to his residence.


    "Yufei, you should go back to the Duanmu Family," Zhao Feng suggested. He wasn''t planning to enter the battlefield much anymore, and with the Thirteenth Prince''s death, Zhao Yufei didn''t need to worry about the marriage.


    "I want to stay next to Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei had a decisive gaze. She was scared that she wouldn''t see Zhao Feng for several more years if she left now.


    "I will also stay behind!" Duanmu Qing said with a faint smile. Although Duanmu Qing wasn''t as strong as Zhao Yufei, two Sacred Lords was obviously safer than one.


    "Fine. Tell me if anything happens," Zhao Feng looked at Zhao Yufei and said in a soft manner. He then entered seclusion after returning to his residence and circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to multitask.


    He first focused on consolidating the Earth of Wind Lightning. Zhao Feng needed to increase his cultivation quickly, and his Earth of Wind Lightning had just reached the early stages of the 9th level. If he didn''t reinforce it, it might have effects on his future cultivation.


    Another part of his mind focused on absorbing the God Tribulation Lightning within the Demigod heads in the dimension of his left eye. The power of God Tribulation Lightning didn''t just increase the power of his eye-bloodline techniques, it could also refine his Soul Intent.


    Shua! Shua!


    At the same time, several pieces of Spirit Gathering Soul Refining Grass and a dark surge of mental energy entered Zhao Feng''s soul.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was more focused on how refined his soul was. He already had plentiful resources in terms of his lifeforce and body. As long as he could increase his Soul Intent, Zhao Feng could try to use the mysterious golden ball to duplicate even rarer items.


    Zhao Feng would also sometimes enter the Ancient Dream Realm while cultivating to supply resources to the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls.


    Two months later, the rest of the Grand Imperial Hall arrived at the front lines and were mainly concentrated around Ling Province. Part of Sky Suspension Palace''s upper echelon and other three-star superpowers were also present.


    On the other hand, the Dark Capital Cult had teamed up with Demonic Sky Palace and some of the other peak forces to fight against the humans.


    All of the low-to-mid echelon members in Ling Province were being moved to Lan Province and Shuang Province because everyone knew that a big battle would happen in Ling Province.


    One day, the two lord dynasties had a small-scale scouting war in Ling Province. Although not many people participated in it, almost everyone involved were unrivalled Emperors or Sacred Lords. Sacred Kings led the group.


    The humans had the advantage in this small-scale fight and managed to defeat the non-humans.


    Zhao Feng was in seclusion within the Misty Spatial World, but he obtained this information through Old Monster Xu, who was in Ling Province, through the use of the Dark Heal Seal.


    "I didn''t think the war would have already reached such a terrifying level!" Zhao Feng faintly exclaimed.


    The weakest people in the Ling Province''s conflict were peak Emperors. These members were almost all from the strongest forces in the lord dynasty. Old Monster Xu and several Emperors from the Ocean Smoke Pavilion were present in the Ling Province battlefield.


    Of course, the number of those that fought didn''t exceed two hundred. After all, it was just a small-scale scouting battle.


    Zhao Feng exited seclusion three months later. In this period of time, there were a few more small-scale battles.


    "My Sacred Lightning Body has reached the early stages of the 6th level!"


    Zhao Feng''s state of existence had increased by a small level


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "Target ¨C the ruler of the forest, the Sky Fire Lightning Ape!" Zhao Feng ordered, then led the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls and Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers toward one of the forbidden grounds of the forest.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Heaven and Earth shook as a large fiery-red ape descended before Zhao Feng and released a powerful force.


    Boom!


    The Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and Earth Shattering Raging Bulls started to panic. It was obvious that the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s bloodline was too strong and suppressed them.


    Zhao Feng immediately activated the Sacred Lightning Body and fought back against the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s pressure.


    "This Sky Fire Lightning Ape has reached the level of a Sacred King!" Zhao Feng could estimate the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s strength after interacting with a few Sacred Kings.


    However, since Zhao Feng had some powerful beast packs with him, he wasn''t scared of this Sacred King Sky Fire Lightning Ape.


    If Zhao Feng could take the beasts from here to the outside world, Sacred King Roaring Sky wouldn''t have dared to chase after Zhao Feng and company.


    "This is my territory! All of you are courting death!" The Sky Fire Lightning Ape sent out a wave of mental energy.


    "Sky Fire Lightning Ape, become my subordinate obediently and save your life!" Zhao Feng smiled confidently.


    "Lowly human, how dare you enslave those of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!" the Sky Fire Lightning Ape roared in anger. With just one glance, it could tell that Zhao Feng had enslaved all of the beasts next to him, and he could tell that Zhao Feng didn''t have any ancient bloodline himself.


    "Charge!" Zhao Feng gave the order, and the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and Earth Shattering Raging Bulls split into two groups and attacked from the ground and the sky.


    "All of you, die!" The Sky Fire Lightning Ape immediately activated its bloodline power without any hesitation after facing such a force.


    Boom!


    Fire burned across the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s body. At the same time, faint blue lightning was unleashed from its fists, eyes, and mouth.


    Bam!


    The Sky Fire Lightning Ape punched out alongside a wave of fire and lightning. A giant powerful pillar of fire and lightning formed and towered over every direction.


    "What power!" Zhao Feng was stunned. Luckily, his beasts were controlled by his Intent, so Zhao Feng sensed it as soon as the Sky Fire Lightning Ape was about to attack, allowing him to direct the beasts away from the range of the attack.


    Boom! Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and Lightning Wings Flying Technique as he joined the battle. He didn''t dare to conserve any of his strength against such a terrifying opponent and attacked with full force.


    Zhao Feng instantly unleashed the projection of his Little World of Wind Lightning as well as the Physical Force Lightning Domain. His every attack contained the combined power of his own strength, the Physical Force Lightning Domain, and the Little World projection.


    Weng~~ Whoosh!


    The Earth Shattering Raging Bulls travelled below the Sky Fire Lightning Ape while the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers flew quickly in the sky and attacked with their wings and claws. Zhao Feng worked in sync with the two beast hordes to gradually weaken the enemy.


    "Purple Soul Chaos!" Zhao Feng would occasionally use an illusion technique. Although not very effective, it could still distract the Sky Fire Lightning Ape for a moment.


    The Sky Fire Lightning Ape started to become disadvantaged against the combined force of Zhao Feng and the two beast groups.


    "Despicable human!" The Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s bloodline power was gradually weakening.


    Peng~~ Boom!


    The Sky Fire Lightning Ape suddenly leapt up and turned into a bolt of scarlet lightning that sped off into the sky.


    The Sky Fire Lightning Ape had given up on its territory and was running away. It knew that it had lost; if it stayed here, it might become one of Zhao Feng''s slaves just like the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls.


    "Chase after it!" Zhao Feng wasn''t willing to let go of something so strong just like that. Even if he failed to enslave the Sky Fire Lightning Ape, its blood and flesh were extremely precious resources.

 1066 Eye of Destruction

    Chapter 1066 - Eye of Destruction


    "Chase after it, we can''t let it get away like this!!"


    Zhao Feng controlled the Golden Wings Scarlet Tigers and Earth Shattering Raging Bulls and followed after the Sky Fire Lightning Ape.


    The Sky Fire Lightning Ape didn''t specialize in speed, so Zhao Feng and the beast packs soon managed to catch up. However, the Sky Fire Lightning Ape didn''t care and kept on running away. Zhao Feng and the beasts were unable to stop it, so they could only keep attacking it and injuring it further.


    Zhao Feng and the beast packs soon chased the Sky Fire Lightning Ape out of the forest to a small range of mountains.


    "Mental Energy Spike!"


    A purple-golden spike suddenly shot out of Zhao Feng''s left eye into the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s soul.


    At this time, the Sky Fire Lightning Ape was severely injured, so Zhao Feng''s soul technique was effective. Zhao Feng''s soul attack was perfect; the Sky Fire Lightning Ape who had leapt into the air instantly crumbled and fell to the ground.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The horns of more than a dozen Earth Shattering Raging Bulls glowed with a dark golden light as they charged toward the Sky Fire Lightning Ape.


    Whoosh!


    All of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers in the air instantly unleashed fierce attacks. All of the attacks were aimed at the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s wounds.


    Zhao Feng didn''t rest either; he kept using Soul eye-bloodline techniques to weaken the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s Soul Intent.


    "Dammit, shameless human!" Blood dripped from the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s injuries.


    "It''s time!" Zhao Feng''s left eye focused, and a shocking undulation of eye-bloodline power formed a bottomless whirlpool that linked to an endless purple abyss. A forbidden soul-pulling force instantly covered the Sky Fire Lightning Ape.


    "Gaze of the God Eye!" Zhao Feng instantly used the Gaze of the God Eye at full force and circulated his soul power and Eye Intent to the maximum. After all, his target this time was the Sky Fire Lightning Ape, whose soul strength was the same as a Sacred King''s.


    "Human, don''t even think about it!" The Sky Fire Lightning Ape seemed to know what Zhao Feng was going to do and struggled continuously.


    "It''s indeed very difficult!" Zhao Feng revealed a strained expression. Even though it was severely injured, the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s soul showed no signs of leaving its body.


    With a thought, Zhao Feng made the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and Earth Shattering Raging Bulls continue attacking the Sky Fire Lightning Ape. The attacks from Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords could also damage the soul, which would weaken the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s Soul Intent.


    Nowadays, Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent was very powerful, and his Gaze of the God Eye could last a very long time. On the other hand, the Sky Fire Lightning Ape was being continuously attacked and was becoming weaker, so its soul started to leave its body.


    "Good, continue!" Zhao Feng was overjoyed and increased the Gaze of the God Eye''s force. Zhao Feng would be able to obtain resources much more easily if he could enslave the Sky Fire Lightning Ape.


    Boom! Peng!


    Under Zhao Feng''s orders, the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and Earth Shattering Raging Bulls continued to attack the Sky Fire Lightning Ape. The Sky Fire Lightning Ape became extremely tired and injured as attacks landed on its body and soul. Its soul then started to slowly leave its body.


    However, at this moment, a loud rumble suddenly came from a small hill in front of them. A giant gray figure leapt out from the ground and caused the earth to shake. A terrifying aura that was as heavy as a mountain instantly spread.


    The instant the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, Earth Shattering Raging Bulls, and Sky Fire Lightning Ape saw this giant gray figure, they revealed fearful expression and started to tremble. The Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s resistance also reduced to the bare minimum.


    "Good!" Zhao Feng once again increased the Gaze of the God Eye''s power and instantly sucked the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s soul into the dimension of his left eye.


    The giant gray figure roared in anger when it looked at Zhao Feng and the Sky Fire Lightning Ape.


    Wu~~~~


    A blast of air swept out, and Zhao Feng instantly felt a strong sense of danger. He quickly put the body of the Sky Fire Lightning Ape away and ordered the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and Earth Shattering Raging Bulls to escape.


    "Just one roar contains so much power!?" Zhao Feng was shocked as he retreated to the forest with the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers and Earth Shattering Raging Bulls in the hopes that the giant gray stone figure wouldn''t chase after them. After all, Zhao Feng had depleted a lot his soul power and Eye Intent just now. The two beast packs also had heavy losses when they fought together.


    "Master, that''s a member of the Earth Crystal Race!" the leader of the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers told Zhao Feng.


    "Earth Crystal Race!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned to disbelief. He didn''t know what they looked like, but he knew of their abilities.


    The Earth Crystal Race was ranked 9136th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and they could create peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones within their own bodies. A fully matured Earth Crystal Race creature could create substandard God crystals, and apparently, God-level members of the Earth Crystal Race could create God Crystals!


    Zhao Feng hadn''t used any substandard God Crystals to cultivate yet since he only recently broke through to the Mystic Light Realm, but he would definitely need them in the future in order to cultivate his Mystic Light Sacred Power.


    The Mystic Light Realm experts of the continent zone didn''t usually cultivate with substandard God crystals; they would only save one for when they were trying to break past a bottleneck. From this, one could see how rare substandard God crystals were in the continent zone.


    Although Zhao Feng had obtained some substandard God crystals from the Crown Prince trial, they weren''t enough to sustain Zhao Feng''s needs.


    "But I can''t do anything to the Earth Crystal Race right now."


    Zhao Feng suppressed the urge in his heart. Just the strength of that one Earth Crystal Race a moment ago was at least as high as the Sky Fire Lightning Ape, and its bloodline power was much stronger, so there was a suppression effect as well. Most importantly, the Earth Crystal Race lived in packs.


    Zhao Feng spent a lot of time to enslave the Sky Fire Lightning Ape after returning to the forest and finally managed to succeed. Zhao Feng then put the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s soul back into its body. With the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s powerful Sacred Body, it would be able to recover quickly.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng forced the Sky Fire Lightning Ape to hand over its resources. Although unwilling, the Sky Fire Lightning Ape still had to do what Zhao Feng said.


    Huala!


    The Sky Fire Lightning Ape tipped out all its wealth from its Little World, and Zhao Feng''s eyes instantly lit up. The Sky Fire Lightning Ape was indeed worthy of being the ruler of the forest; it had a large amount of resources, and they were all of a high grade.


    Zhao Feng stared at one of the dark red herbs. He could feel a unique Soul aura from it.


    "Master, this is the Fire Spirit Soul Scorching Grass!" the Sky Fire Lightning Ape introduced to Zhao Feng.


    The Fire Spirit Soul Scorching Grass burned the soul and could strengthen the user''s Soul Intent and power. However, it was usually used to craft poisonous pills.


    "What a weird and unique Soul herb!" Zhao Feng was faintly surprised. At the moment, he urgently needed resources that helped his soul. Although the Fire Spirit Soul Scorching Grass was strange, Zhao Feng took it without thinking much.


    Zhao Feng then picked many more precious resources before leaving the Ancient Dream Realm. Old Monster Xu instantly reported the situation of the Ling Province battlefield to Zhao Feng through the Dark Heart Seal after Zhao Feng left the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "What? A Demigod expert appeared on the battlefield!?" Zhao Feng was stunned.


    It had only been a short while since Sacred King experts started appearing and fighting small-scale battles. He didn''t expect Demigod experts to appear so quickly.


    Demigods stood at the pinnacle of the lord dynasty and were respected by everyone. They had the strongest battle-power in the continent, and now, Demigods had appeared in Ling Province.


    The humans had sent out the Grand Elder of the Grand Imperial Hall ¨C Grand Emperor Song, also known as Demigod Taichi! The non-humans had sent out the Grand Elder of the Demonic Sky Palace ¨C Demigod Destruction!


    Of course, the two Demigods were just testing one another. After all, the lord dynasties were still just trying to find out how strong the other one was, because one mistake could result in a heavy price that could determine the final outcome.


    A giant temporary palace enveloped in a forbidden light was built behind the Ling Province warzone. It was in the forbidden grounds of the battlefield and blocked out everything.


    Within the giant palace:


    "What''s the reason the non-humans dare to declare war on us?" The leader was an elder in white robes with dragons drawn on it. No aura came from him at all, and he spoke in an emotionless tone.


    "The non-humans wouldn''t attack us if they weren''t confident!" a skinny elder with sharp eyebrows said with certainty.


    "We need to prepare as well just in case something happens!" the leading elder wearing the white robes said.


    "The chance of Taichi winning this battle isn''t very big¡­." The elder wearing the white robes raised his head and looked up as if he could see through everything.


    The two Demigods clashed in the air above the Ling Province warzone. Any one of the attacks from either of them had the power to destroy Heaven and Earth and cause space itself to shatter.


    "Taichi, you''re not my match!" Demigod Destruction wore black scaly armor and had a horn on his head.


    "Then try this." Demigod Taichi moved his palms around, and limitless Intent soon gathered into a void ball that gave off a forbidden aura.


    "Limitless Heaven and Earth!" Demigod Taichi threw out this void ball.


    "Light of Destruction!" Demigod Destruction''s eyes suddenly flashed with a golden light. His eyes were like the sun as they released golden beams that radiated a strong power of Destruction.


    Hu!


    The golden light that shot out from Demigod Destruction''s eyes reflected on the void ball that Demigod Taichi threw. The point where the void ball touched the golden light instantly started to shatter apart.


    "This is the Intent of the five elements as well as Yin and Yang!" Demigod Destruction exclaimed in surprise. Only Demigod Taichi could merge the five elements with Yin and Yang together so well. Normal items would have been destroyed by his Light of Destruction long ago.


    "Hmph, everything turns to dust in front of the Eye of Destruction!"


    Eye Intent surged from Demigod Destruction''s eyes, and golden light lit up Heaven and Earth. Space itself seemed to break apart wherever the Light of Destruction shone.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The sky went dark as a terrifying power that seemed to be able to change Heaven and Earth appeared. All the Quasi-Sacred Lords and Sacred Lords fighting below were stunned; they circulated their power at full force to fight back against this terrifying force. They didn''t have any thoughts about fighting their enemies anymore.


    A beam of white light suddenly shot out as Heaven Earth Yuan Qi moved.


    "Retreat!" The majority of Demigod Taichi''s body had been destroyed, and he sped back toward his headquarters.


    "Run!"


    "Retreat!"


    Seeing their Demigod expert defeated, the Sacred Lords and unrivalled Emperors instantly scattered in fear while the non-humans chased after them with boiling hot blood.


    "Where do you think you''re running to?" Demigod Destruction descended from the skies.


    Boom! Weng~~


    A large wave of the Light of Destruction shot out from his eyes and radiated an ultimate aura of Destruction. The bodies and souls of all the Sacred Lords and unrivalled Emperors instantly shattered and crumbled apart when the Light of Destruction spread over them!


    Many experts used defensive secret techniques or the projection of their Little World to defend themselves, but all Intents were destroyed by the Eyes of Destruction.


    "Run! That''s one of the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes, the Eye of Destruction!"


    The human Demigod expert was the one defeated this time.

 1067 Black Serpent Dragon

    Chapter 1067 - Black Serpent Dragon


    Zhao Feng could get all the news from the Ling Province battlefield as soon as possible from Old Monster Xu. The Grand Elder of the Grand Imperial Hall ¨C Demigod Taichi ¨C and the Grand Elder of Demonic Sky Palace ¨C Demigod Destruction ¨C fought, and the human side lost.


    "I didn''t expect the non-humans to have a Demigod that''s also a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes!"


    Zhao Feng was stunned. Demigod Destruction had the Eyes of Destruction, which descended from the God Eye of Destruction. The God Eye of Destruction was the strongest God Eye in terms of offense. It controlled the laws of Destruction and had the capability to destroy Heaven and Earth.


    Zhao Feng had also heard of Demigod Taichi. This Demigod was the Grand Imperial Hall''s youngest Demigod; he cultivated the five elements as well as Yin and Yang, and he even managed to touch the door to the realm of Godhood.


    "Heavenly Divine Realm!" Battle intent burned in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng put the Fire Spirit Soul Scorching Grass into the dimension of his left eye and started to duplicate it. Zhao Feng took out one of the Fire Spirit Soul Scorching Grass and left the other one in so he could continue to duplicate it once he recovered to his peak.


    Zhao Feng ate some herbs that replenished his Yuan Qi and started to absorb the Fire Spirit Soul Scorching Grass while activating the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique.


    Hu~~


    Wisps of dark red mental energy slowly entered Zhao Feng''s soul. Zhao Feng''s soul instantly started to burn, and a dark red light appeared around his Lightning Soul Body.


    "This pain is nothing compared to when my soul split!" Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and continued to absorb the Fire Spirit Soul Scorching Grass.


    When he finished absorbing this Fire Spirit Soul Scorching Grass, two more pieces of Fire Spirit Soul Scorching Grass had been duplicated in the dimension of his left eye, and he immediately took one of them out.


    Three months later, Zhao Feng opened his colorful eyes, and a fiery-red Soul aura spread.


    "My Soul Intent has reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm!" Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    He had used five pieces of Fire Spirit Soul Scorching Grass over the past three months, and his soul was in searing pain every instant. His hard work finally paid off!


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent reaching the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm meant that his Soul eye-bloodline techniques would be even stronger than before.


    Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques and God Tribulation Lightning could now damage even Sacred Kings, unlike his Wind Lightning Eye Flame that was completely useless against Sacred King Roaring Sky.


    "I wonder if I can duplicate my substandard God Slaying Arrows now!" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped.


    His Soul Intent becoming stronger meant that his Eye Intent was also stronger. Once Zhao Feng could duplicate large amounts of substandard God Slaying Arrows, he wouldn''t need to be scared of Sacred Kings anymore, and he would be able to protect himself in the lord dynasty.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng carefully absorbed the substandard God Slaying Arrow into the dimension of his left eye.


    Weng~~ Whoosh!


    The mysterious golden ball quickly spun in the dimension of his left eye and released waves of faint golden light that passed through the substandard God Slaying Arrow. A ball of black matter finally appeared from the mysterious golden ball and and gave off a desolate aura.


    "It''s going to start duplicating again!"


    Zhao Feng knew the steps of duplication very clearly.


    However, since he was trying to duplicate the substandard God Slaying Arrow this time, it might require a very long time. In this period of time, Zhao Feng''s main focus would be on the dimension of his left eye while another part of him would focus on the Soul Splitting Technique and some other soul techniques.


    "I must stop immediately if I''m unable to duplicate it!"


    Zhao Feng didn''t dare to put too much focus on cultivating his body or Mystic Light Sacred Power for now.


    He would also use the Dark Heart Seal to communicate with Old Monster Xu and receive news of the war in the outside world.


    The news of the human Demigod being defeated instantly spread across the lord dynasty and made everyone start to panic. All the forces in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty had thought that they wouldn''t lose and that the Grand Imperial Hall would be able to stop the non-humans, but now, they couldn''t help but worry.


    All of the peak experts in both lord dynasties, such as those that were usually in seclusion, started to head toward the battlefield.


    Demigod Dark Ocean of Nine Darkness Palace had left and was heading toward the front lines, while Demigod Withered Breath ¨C the Grand Elder of Sky Suspension Palace ¨C and a group of upper echelon members left the clan as well.


    Several more battles erupted in the Ling Province battlefield over the last three months. The victories and losses for both sides were roughly equal.


    "Looks like the war has entered the critical stages!"


    The usually calm Zhao Feng couldn''t help but worry for the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. From the current situation, it was hard to tell what the final outcome would be. Even the most famous divination master in the lord dynasty couldn''t do so; after all, there were simply too many things that could change the final outcome.


    "I should go to Ling Province and watch!" Zhao Feng thought.


    A fight between Demigods was something that happened once every ten thousand years. Zhao Feng believed that he would be able to learn a lot just by watching.


    Over the next eight days, most of Zhao Feng''s focus was still in the dimension of his left eye. At this point in time, his Eye Intent and Yuan Qi were extremely depleted. He had to replenish it with large amounts of precious resources.


    "I wonder if I''ll succeed or not!"


    Zhao Feng felt slightly scared. A dark golden arrow floated in the air above the mysterious golden ball in the dimension of his left eye. Next to it was a black ball of matter, and one could faintly see the blurry outlines of an arrow from it.


    The mysterious golden ball in the very center suddenly started to quickly spin. At the same time, the consumption speed of Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent and Yuan Qi doubled.


    "The duplication is entering its last stages!"


    Zhao Feng had a complicated expression and was immersed in joy and shock.


    Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent was quickly used up as the ball of black matter above the mysterious golden ball started to condense into a dark golden arrow.


    Whoosh!


    The speed of the mysterious golden ball''s spinning slowed down right as Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent was completely used up!


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s left eye seemed to become a normal eye. He was unable to use any powers of the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    "So close!"


    Zhao Feng started to sweat. He wasn''t willing to give up at the last moment, but luckily, the God''s Spiritual Eye hadn''t been damaged. He just needed some time to recover.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng put the two substandard God Slaying Arrows into the Misty Spatial World.


    Now that he had one more substandard God Slaying Arrow, he had one more hidden card. He wasn''t in a rush to duplicate more; he would only do so when his Soul Intent became stronger, since that would reduce the risk.


    Zhao Feng started to heal his body and soul after successfully duplicating the substandard God Slaying Arrow.


    Old Monster Xu sent a piece of news half a month later that stopped Zhao Feng from staying in seclusion.


    "Master, a big battle happened between the two lord dynasties, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon appeared on the non-humans'' side!"


    Zhao Feng had completely recovered by now, and his expression turned to surprise when he heard this. Zhao Feng immediately ended his seclusion.


    "I didn''t think that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would be hiding among the non-humans. Could that be why the non-humans started the war?" Zhao Feng murmured in a soft tone. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had been severely injured by the combined forces of Sky Suspension Palace and the Grand Imperial Hall, but if the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon dared to appear once more, that meant that it must have recovered most of its strength.


    One had to know that the strength of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon at its peak was on par with Ancient God Xie Yang. True Gods had nine ranks, and "Ancient God" referred to those at the 6th rank or higher.


    Zhao Feng estimated that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon must have roughly recovered to the level of a Demigod. This meant that the non-humans basically had one more powerful Demigod.


    A single extra Demigod was enough to change the tide of the war in favor of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty that used to only be on par with the Great Gan Lord Dynasty!


    "I need to go to the Ling Province battlefield!


    Zhao Feng started to prepare.


    A guard in golden armor stood close to the building he was staying in.


    "Senior Zhao, His Highness told me to tell you that he has returned to the Great Gan Imperials'' side. His Highness also wanted me to give this to you!" the guard immediately said when he saw Zhao Feng come out, and he handed over a spiritual pet bag respectfully.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. This spiritual pet bag was the one he had given the Ninth Prince a while ago; it contained two beast packs and three Quasi-Sacred Lord Sky Shaking Golden Apes.


    "The Ninth Prince left the battlefield?"


    There was probably only one reason why the Ninth Prince would leave at this moment ¨C to become the Sacred Emperor.


    Almost five years had passed since the end of the Crown Prince trial. There was only one year left till the Ninth Prince would become the Sacred Emperor. They definitely wouldn''t allow him to stay on the battlefield any longer.


    Zhao Feng put away the spiritual pet bag and put all the beasts within it into the Misty Spatial World.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled as scanned around with his Divine Sense. He found that Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei were both in seclusion, so Zhao Feng left the stronghold alone and headed to the Ling Province battlefield by himself.


    Zhao Feng maintained contact with Old Monster Xu on the way.


    "The two lord dynasties have entered a full-scale war, and the Great Gan Lord Dynasty sent out three Demigods."


    Old Monster Xu told Zhao Feng some of the things happening in the battlefield. Zhao Feng''s blood started to boil just by hearing this.


    "I wonder what a battle between Demigods would look like!"


    Zhao Feng felt slightly regretful that he didn''t set a spatial marking close to the Ling Province battlefield.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    A pair of scarlet wings of lightning spread behind Zhao Feng''s back as he used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique to quickly head toward the battlefield.


    "Old Monster Xu, you can go even closer to the battlefield!" Zhao Feng messaged Old Monster Xu.


    At this moment, they were only a few big cities apart.


    On the Ling Province battlefield, Old Monster Xu was surprised but still approached the battlefield proper. A strong surge of Eye Intent suddenly appeared from the bottom of his soul, and his eyes flashed with a layer of gold.


    At this instant, Old Monster Xu felt like his sight had become several dozen times better. His eyes looked toward the sky and saw through the terrifying storm of destruction to see the Demigod figures fighting.


    "So, this is a battle between Demigods!?"


    Old Monster Xu''s heart shook, and he was completely dazed. Just from looking at it, Old Monster Xu felt like this terrifying power that could destroy Heaven and Earth had surpassed the limits of a Sacred Lord. Any random shockwave from a Demigod could easily kill him.


    "Humans, I am back! All of you aren''t far from death now!"


    A male covered in black scales and scarlet-black flames appeared. He had a deadly expression, and a black tornado whistled around him as it swept across several dozen miles.


    In front of him was an elder wearing a large golden cloak and holding a golden staff with a dragon head on the top. Golden dragons made of light covered him. This person was the ruler of the Grand Imperial Hall and the person in charge of the lord dynasty ¨C Demigod Dragon Emperor.


    "Black Serpent Dragon, you will die today!" Demigod Dragon Emperor''s eyes suddenly flashed with a golden light. Heaven and Earth changed color, and invisible power of laws and Intents swept toward the Black Serpent Dragon.

 1068 Divine Power

    Chapter 1068 - Divine Power


    The two lord dynasties each sent out three Demigods.


    The non-humans sent Demigod Destruction from Demonic Sky Palace, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and a Demigod from the Dark Capital Cult. The Great Gan Lord Dynasty sent out Demigod Taichi, Demigod Spiritual Void from Sky Suspension Palace, and Demigod Dragon Emperor, the strongest expert from the Grand Imperial Hall.


    "Hahaha, today is the day the humans die!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a nasty expression and laughed cruelly.


    Hu~~


    The male with black scales slashed out with his hand, and a faint wave of black fire instantly destroyed Demigod Dragon Emperor''s invisible Intent attack. At the same time, the wave of fire turned into a burning black dragon that charged at Demigod Dragon Emperor.


    "The Dark Moon Lord Dynasty won''t be a match for the Great Gan Lord Dynasty even if they now have one more black carp!" Demigod Dragon Emperor''s expression changed as he gently pointed out with the golden dragon-headed staff.


    A golden dragon-shaped beam instantly slashed forward and extinguished the flame coming from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Wu~~


    This golden dragon-shaped beam then roared and slashed toward the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon directly.


    "Hmph, if I recover to my peak, I could destroy all humans with just one breath!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a deadly and poisonous gaze. However, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon still circulated his Dragon Yuan Divine Force and released a haze of scarlet-black flames that could destroy Heaven and Earth to counter Demigod Dragon Emperor''s attack.


    Boom! Peng! Bam!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a solemn expression as he felt the terrifying blast of Divine Power.


    "This is the strongest human Demigod!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had to use his full power against Demigod Dragon Emperor. If it wasn''t for the fact that the war had progressed so quickly, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wouldn''t even be fighting right now.


    Back then, he was severely injured by the human Demigods and was drastically weakened. Even his Origin Dimension was damaged. However, he had made a pact with the Dark Capital Cult; the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty would supply the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon with resources for it to recover, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would help the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty destroy the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wasn''t technically a Demigod yet, but his battle-power was comparable to a Demigod. However, there was still a difference between him and Demigod Dragon Emperor, the strongest expert of the Grand Imperial Hall.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The other Demigods of the two lord dynasties took action as well.


    Bam! Bam! Peng!


    The clouds and wind howled, and terrifying laws and Intents that could flip Heaven and Earth appeared. If it wasn''t for the fact that the Demigods were fighting so far away from the ground, any shockwave would be able to kill initial-stage Sacred Lords and below. Only Sacred Kings could somewhat see part of the terrifying battle in the sky.


    At the same time, many of the peak experts of both lord dynasties in Ling Province watched this battle that could change the war.


    The humans had sent out Demigod Dragon Emperor, the strongest person from the Grand Imperial Hall, in order to deal with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. On the other hand, Demigod Dark Dragon, who was the strongest member of the Dark Capital Cult, still hadn''t appeared. As long as Demigod Dragon Emperor was able to defeat Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, that wouldn''t be an issue, but if he failed¡­


    ¡­


    At this moment, Zhao Feng had already left Lan Province and almost arrived at the borders of Ling Province. He sent a surge of Eye Intent into Old Monster Xu through the Dark Heart Seal and was able to see everything that Old Monster Xu saw.


    "Power that has surpassed the Mystic Light Realm¡­ Divine Power!" Zhao Feng''s heart shook, and he became slightly impatient. He could only see the fight through Old Monster Xu, so he was unable to use the analysis ability of his left eye or capture the images.


    As the six Demigods from the two lord dynasties started to fight, Zhao Feng''s thoughts seemed to arrive at Old Monster Xu''s position and look at the fight in the sky.


    "Demigod Dragon Emperor is the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s strongest Demigod!"


    Zhao Feng ordered Old Monster Xu to lock onto the fight between Demigod Dragon Emperor and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. Anyone could tell that this battle would be the critical point of the war. After all, the strongest expert of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty, Demigod Dark Dragon, hadn''t even appeared yet. If Demigod Dragon Emperor was even slightly injured by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, the strongest expert of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty might immediately take action!


    However, Demigod Dragon Emperor was indeed worthy of being the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s strongest Demigod. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was obviously not his match and soon had to go on the defensive.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s strength has only just recovered to the level of a Demigod¡­." Zhao Feng suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why didn''t the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wait until its strength recovered by another level before taking action?


    "Maybe the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty doesn''t full trust the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon?" Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    The Destruction Dragon Race was born for destruction and left everything in flames. The belief of the Destruction Dragon Race was to destroy the entire Fan Universe; thus, they were hated by all other Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    The Dark Moon Lord Dynasty should understand how dangerous the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was as well, so they wouldn''t completely trust it and just let it increase its strength.


    Of course, that was just Zhao Feng''s guess.


    "So, this is the Little World projection of a Demigod!" Zhao Feng was completely shocked.


    Through Old Monster Xu''s sight, he realized that the Little Worlds of almost all Demigods contained the laws of all five elements. This proved that Zhao Feng''s initial guesses were right; in order to turn a Little World into a real dimension, the Little World must contain the power of all five elements.


    "What''s going on? This is¡­!?" Zhao Feng instantly stopped flying and became dazed. His thoughts started to fly.


    "Demigod Dragon Emperor, he''s¡­!?"


    "That''s a God Slaying Arrow!"


    "Demigod Dragon Emperor''s taken out a God Slaying Arrow!"


    The spectators from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty broke out into discussion.


    Another Demigod from the Grand Imperial Hall looked at the sky.


    "Dragon Emperor planned to use this God Slaying Arrow to severely injure the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon long ago!"


    The Demigod gave a faint smile. Demigod Dragon Emperor obviously wouldn''t enter battle knowing that the strongest Demigod of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty still hadn''t appeared yet. Demigod Dragon Emperor had made plans long ago.


    In the sky, a transparent bow made of Divine Power appeared in Demigod Dragon Emperor''s hand along with a scarlet-golden arrow of light covered in a divine haze.


    Only God-level experts were able to fully unleash the power of a substandard God weapon such as the God Slaying Arrow. At this moment, the one-time-use God Slaying Arrow released a peerless glow in Demigod Dragon Emperor''s hands; an element of Metal that could destroy Heaven and Earth also started to move. A piercing metallic light glowed through the sky like a sun rising up in darkness and repelled everything away.


    "A God Slaying Arrow!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon shivered as shock and fear appeared in its eyes.


    "That''s right!" Demigod Dragon Emperor locked onto the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon with his Divine Sense.


    The princes of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty managed to obtain this God Slaying Arrow from the Divine Illusion Dimension. Demigod Dragon Emperor would be able to heavily injure the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon with this God Slaying Arrow, and if he had the chance, he would try to kill the dragon.


    "Old bastard, you should have left that substandard God weapon to deal with Demigod Dark Dragon!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon instantly started to curse.


    He already knew that the Great Gan Lord Dynasty had a God Slaying Arrow long ago, but he thought that the Great Gan Lord Dynasty would use it on the strongest expert from the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty, Demigod Dark Dragon.


    If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was at its peak right now, it wouldn''t even need to blink against the God Slaying Arrow. However, right now, he was unable to block the power so easily. Scarlet-black flames surrounded the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon as it turned into a giant black dragon several hundred yards long.


    Weng~~


    A scarlet-black Little World projection formed around the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and it instantly disappeared from Heaven and Earth with a flick of its tail.


    Beng~~ Whoosh!


    It was at this moment that Demigod Dragon Emperor pulled back the bowstring. A golden arrow flashing with limitless divine light pierced through the sky and ripped through everything in its path.


    At the same instant, Demigod Dragon Emperor chased after the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Zhao Feng stood near the borders of Ling Province as the image of Demigod Dragon Emperor shooting out the God Slaying Arrow appeared in his mind.


    "This is the true power of the God Slaying Arrow. It''s enough to severely injure Demigods!" Zhao Feng said slowly after the shock passed.


    In comparison to Demigod Dragon Emperor, the power of the God Slaying Arrow Zhao Feng used before could be completely ignored.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng''s gaze saw past several thousand miles and noticed a familiar figure.


    "Xin Wuheng? Why is he here?" Zhao Feng was slightly surprised. The Demigods of the two lord dynasties were fighting, but Xin Wuheng was at the borders of Ling Province and not watching the fight.


    White light glittered from Xin Wuheng''s eyes as he extended out his arm with his palm facing downward. Even Zhao Feng didn''t notice that there was a completely white line drawn on Xin Wuheng''s palm.


    "Is it here? Who''s the one summoning me?" Xin Wuheng''s gaze was slightly lost.


    Pa!


    Xin Wuheng''s palm suddenly landed on the ground. Zhao Feng looked at Xin Wuheng, who was several thousand miles away, in surprise. He didn''t know what Xin Wuheng was doing.


    Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye suddenly started to twitch as a sense of danger he had never felt before covered his heart. A faint golden ripple of light covered Zhao Feng''s left eye as he looked downward.


    "Not good!" Zhao Feng''s heart suddenly jumped as fear appeared on his face.


    Boom! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng immediately used the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash and turned into a scarlet streak of light that disappeared in a flash. Zhao Feng didn''t stop even after travelling several miles, as if the danger of death behind him was still there.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Deafening explosions and roars sounded from the depths of the earth. It was as if countless beasts were roaring in anger. A giant chasm split open the earth, and a white divine light that could destroy anything shot into the sky.


    At this instant, everything within several dozen miles was killed. As the white divine light shot out, Heaven and Earth started to crack, and a deadly suction force came from the black cracks.


    Zhao Feng finally came to a stop. He could feel the destructive power behind him; it was enough to kill Demigods.


    Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng''s face was white, and his heart was still thudding. If he was half a breath later, he would have died even if he had the God''s Spiritual Eye, God Slaying Arrow, and Misty Spatial World.


    "What is that!?" Zhao Feng cried out in shock after seeing the image in front of him.

 1069 Corpse of God

    Chapter 1069 - Corpse of a God


    "What is that!?" Zhao Feng cried out in shock after seeing the image in front of him.


    The earth in front of him had split into a chasm that was several miles wide. White divine light shot out from it and released a forbidden power that enveloped everything within several dozen thousand miles.


    Everything that this forbidden divine light touched turned into nothingness. Zhao Feng was extremely far away from this divine aura, but his body still wasn''t able to withstand the aura of this divine light.


    "Xin Wuheng?" Zhao Feng immediately thought of Xin Wuheng. According to what he just saw, Xin Wuheng was the one to do this. However, how could Xin Wuheng survive the divine light if he was in the very center?


    Weng!


    A faint golden light covered Zhao Feng''s left eye as his gaze moved toward the chasm that was still spitting out divine light.


    "It can even see through divine power!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned into shock and joy. He finally understood how powerful his golden eye was.


    Hu!


    Zhao Feng''s gaze looked downward, but this chasm was extremely deep ¨C over ten thousand miles deep. Zhao Feng activated the transparency ability of his left eye to the limit and finally managed to see the bottom. Although what he saw was slightly blurry, he still managed to see some things that made him feel incredulous.


    "That is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s chest heaved.


    The outline of a giant palm appeared. Next to the palm was a body. However, just the size of this palm stunned him, so he had no idea how big the body would be.


    "How big is it?" Zhao Feng took a deep breath.


    A body lay a few dozen thousand miles underground, and Zhao Feng''s left eye couldn''t even see how big the body was. It could be several hundred or even several thousand miles long.


    Zhao Feng could only think of the Giant God Race, ranked 15th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, that could have such a big body. However, why would there be the body of a God beneath the ground?


    "Furthermore, the body isn''t just a normal True God!" Zhao Feng focused his eyes.


    He didn''t know enough about the power of Gods, so he couldn''t tell what level the body''s Divine Power was. However, one thing was for sure ¨C its power exceeded normal True Gods and ruled supreme over all beings in the continent zone.


    This could be said to be the most shocking secret that the continent zone had ever revealed in history. No one, including Sacred Kings and Demigods, would be able to resist this temptation. They would head toward it without hesitation even if they knew there was a 80-90% chance of death.


    However, putting aside the several-thousand-mile-long body beneath the ground, Zhao Feng wasn''t even able to approach the chasm.


    Zhao Feng immediately used the Dark Heart Seal to see what Old Monster Xu was seeing.


    "As expected, this caught the attention of the Demigods as well!" Zhao Feng''s heart shook.


    The cracks in the ground passed throughout the entire Lan Province. All of the experts on the Ling Province battlefield retreated, including all the Sacred Kinds and Demigods. Those that were still fighting stopped and immediately retreated, whereas those with lower cultivations or speeds were turned into ashes by the power of this God.


    "What''s going on?" A Demigod of the Grand Imperial Hall was stunned when he sensed the power of a God. How could there be such a terrifying power!?


    "There''s something below the battlefield!" Demigod Dark Ocean of Nine Darkness Palace had a cold expression, and his eyes flashed with a purple light.


    The non-humans also quickly retreated by several thousand miles. A half-transparent non-human with black scales floated in midair and radiated a terrifying mental energy. This person was the strongest expert of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty, Demigod Dark Dragon.


    However, the aura coming from him was nothing in comparison to the divine light.


    "Could this be the reason why the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon encouraged us to attack the Great Gan Lord Dynasty?" Demigod Dark Dragon had a deep gaze. He had always been on guard against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Demigod Dark Dragon released his Divine Sense into the ground, but it was destroyed by the terrifying white divine light before it managed to travel far.


    "What is down there?" the Demigod of a peak three-star power from the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty asked in shock.


    The late stage of the war between the two lord dynasties was interrupted by this sudden change. At this moment in time, everyone was completely attracted by the power of a God. None of them thought about the war at all.


    In the distance, far away in the sky, Demigod Dragon Emperor suddenly stopped chasing the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. Not far away from him was the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s tattered and injured body.


    "How is this possible? The power of the God''s corpse is seeping out?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t understand. According to what it saw earlier, the corpse of the God beneath the Great Gan Lord Dynasty was completely dead, but right now, its power was seeping out!


    It had encouraged the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty to attack the Great Gan Lord Dynasty because it wanted to take over this area and find a chance to go underground by itself. If it was able to obtain the power from the God''s corpse, then it would have no problem recovering back to its peak strength.


    However, now that the power of the God''s corpse was seeping out, the entire continent zone knew of the God corpse''s existence.


    Whoosh!


    Using the moment that Demigod Dragon Emperor was stunned, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon turned into a plume of smoke and disappeared into the skies.


    "The power of a God!" Demigod Dragon Emperor''s body trembled. He didn''t even care about the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon anymore.


    Demigod Dragon Emperor had been stuck at the Demigod rank for eighty thousand years and was never able to become a True God, but the white power coming from the earth was the power of a God! This would be his last chance!


    Demigod Dragon Emperor didn''t bother with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon that was running away and immediately returned to the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s headquarters impatiently.


    "Dammit!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon seethed with anger. Its plan hadn''t worked out, and it was also severely injured by Demigod Dragon Emperor. It still would''ve had hope to take revenge, which was the God corpse underground, but now that it was revealed, the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty would basically know about the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s intentions. The Dark Moon Lord Dynasty and the Great Gan Lord Dynasty might even attack the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon together at this point.


    This made the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s head hurt. How would it be able to approach the God''s corpse? It was severely injured right now and might be killed if it met the other peak experts from the two lord dynasties.


    "That''s¡­?" The injured Black Destruction Serpent Dragon looked into the distance in surprise. It was still in the warzone, but a slim and normal female who only had the cultivation of a Great Origin Core Realm stood in front of it.


    Everyone knew that even normal Kings didn''t dare to enter the battlefield during the late stages of the war, and yet this person was just an Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon?" Bai Lin also paused for a moment. She had come here due to destiny, and she didn''t expect the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon to arrive as well. However, the next instant, she revealed a faint smile.


    "The Eyes of Destiny?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was extremely knowledgeable and soon managed to find out the true identity of this girl.


    "Do you want to work together?" Bai Lin revealed a simple and faint smile, causing the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon to pause for a moment. Even though it was severely injured right now, it could still kill a normal Origin Core Realm cultivator with a flick of its finger. However, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon considered this proposition seriously.


    "Let''s go!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon circulated some Magnificent Power that swept Bai Lin into the air, and the two disappeared into the sky.


    ¡­


    News of the God corpse appearing at the front lines instantly swept across the two lord dynasties.


    Even Demigods were unable to approach the forbidden area that was covered in the power of a God. This forbidden area appeared right in the battlefield and split the two lord dynasties apart.


    The two lord dynasties sent out countless experts to guard the borders of the forbidden area, and they also sent out scouts to try to find out the secrets underground.


    The two lord dynasties no longer had time to worry about the war. The true rulers of both lord dynasties were all Demigods, and the final wish of every Demigod was to become a God and enter the ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    It was hard to imagine what kind of secrets were underground for there to be so much Divine Power. However, no matter what it was, all the Sacred Kings and Demigods believed that there would definitely be fortune relating to the Heavenly Divine Realm underground. Right now, they just needed to wait till the power of the God dimmed, and both lord dynasties would be able to see what was inside the chasm.


    ¡­


    A large part of the Lan Province battlefield was also covered by this Divine Power. Zhao Feng knew that the war would come to an end now, so he directly returned to Lan Province proper.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng looked at the forbidden light from afar.


    Weng~~


    A faint golden light covered Zhao Feng''s left eye as he looked at the white divine light.


    "What a complex power!" Zhao Feng originally thought about analyzing the structure of Divine Power, but his scalp tingled just by looking at it. He didn''t even know where to start. Zhao Feng once again lowered his head and looked at the very depths.


    Although he could see through the Divine Power and the earth, what he saw underground was still limited and blurry.


    However, Zhao Feng was still satisfied even if his sight was blurry. One had to know that, out of everyone in both lord dynasties, probably only Zhao Feng knew what was contained underground. Zhao Feng would obviously not tell that to anyone either.


    "That''s the head of the God corpse!" Zhao Feng managed to conclude from all the blurry images. The head of the corpse was enormous; it was hard to imagine that there was such a big species out there.


    Zhao Feng stared at the head of the God corpse, and wisps of golden light started to appear from the mysterious golden ball and spread across Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng''s gaze saw through the God corpse.


    "There''s something moving inside!" Zhao Feng exclaimed in shock.

 1070 Departure

    Chapter 1070 - Departure


    "There''s something moving inside!" Zhao Feng exclaimed in shock.


    The forbidden power on the battlefield could easily kill Demigod experts. Even God-level experts would probably be unable to approach the source of this power, and now, Zhao Feng saw that there was movement within the head of the God corpse.


    "Impossible!" Zhao Feng shook his head.


    God-level experts weren''t able to exist within the dimension of the continent zone. This meant that the God corpse was definitely dead. But if it was, then what was the blurry movement that Zhao Feng just saw? A peerless divine weapon? Some sort of treasure?


    Zhao Feng was extremely excited and curious about the God corpse underground.


    "The Divine Power is becoming weaker!"


    Zhao Feng had personally witnessed the appearance of this power. At this moment, he could tell that the power on the battlefield was much weaker than before.


    The forbidden white divine light would one day eventually disappear. At that point in time, the experts of the continent zone would be able to go underground and scout.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat threw a few old bronze coins into the air and waved around its paws.


    "Good fortune?" Zhao Feng''s heart shook, and he felt his blood boil. Even the little thieving cat''s divination abilities said that the God corpse underground represented good fortune.


    "But with my current strength¡­" Zhao Feng shook his head.


    The appearance of this Divine Power stopped the war between the two lord dynasties. Zhao Feng knew that Sacred Kings and Demigods wanted to know the secrets underground much more than Zhao Feng. If the divine light disappeared one day, almost all of the experts in the continent zone would go underground, including all the Sacred Kings and Demigods of both lord dynasties.


    Zhao Feng could rely on the duplicated substandard God Slaying Arrows to protect himself against Sacred Kings, but if he faced a Demigod, Zhao Feng could do nothing even if he took out the true God Slaying Arrow. Zhao Feng wasn''t even able to unleash the full power of the God Slaying Arrow. Zhao Feng was just like an atom in front of a Demigod ¨C tiny and useless.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved his arm, and his figure started to fade under a layer of silver light before completely disappearing. The next instant, he reappeared in the stronghold he had once been in.


    At this moment, a large number of people were gathered near the strongholds close to the battlefield. Most of them were intel agents; once anything happened to the forbidden divine light, they would send news to the forces behind them. However, there were also some Grand Elders of some forces present that were keeping an eye on the underground directly and living close by.


    Zhao Feng''s appearance instantly raised some attention. Although most people were focusing on the forbidden area, Zhao Feng''s name had travelled far and wide due to him chasing after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with them and returned to his residence.


    "Zhao Feng, are you interested in the secret of the Divine Power underground?" Nan Gongsheng''s cold voice sounded the moment Zhao Feng arrived. It was obvious that Nan Gongsheng had been waiting here for a long time.


    "Of course!" Zhao Feng replied certainly. Everyone in the continent zone was interested, but Zhao Feng knew what Nan Gongsheng meant specifically.


    "Even if we team up, it''s still too difficult to find out the secrets underground!" Nan Gongsheng continued to speak. Zhao Feng nodded his head; what Nan Gongsheng said was correct.


    The aura coming from Nan Gongsheng had become stronger, but he could still do nothing against a Sacred King. On top of that, it wouldn''t be just Sacred Kings trying to find out the secrets of the God corpse in the future. There would also be Demigods, who stood at the pinnacle of the continent.


    "There''s still some time till the power of the God disappears. I''m confident that I can increase my strength to another level during this time. Will I have the opportunity to work with you then?" Nan Gongsheng revealed a cold and cruel smile.


    Zhao Feng''s heart jumped. Since Nan Gongsheng had the power of the Evil God, his strength obviously increased by leaps and bounds. There should be no problem for him to reach the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm before the divine light disappeared, but there was also risk involved. One was that his foundation wouldn''t be strong. The second was that his personality would be changed once more.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng was stunned. In order to find out the secrets underground, Nan Gongsheng was willing to absorb the power of the Evil God and forcibly increase his cultivation. To a certain degree, the Evil God Mental Thought Body had tempted him, but the original owner of the Evil God Mental Thought Body was Xie Yang, an Ancient God at least at the 6th rank of the nine True God ranks. If even the Evil God Mental Thought Body encouraged Nan Gongsheng to find out the secrets underground, one could see that the God corpse underground was not simple and definitely exceeded Zhao Feng''s expectations.


    At this moment, what Nan Gongsheng meant was very obvious. Nan Gongsheng was confident that he could increase his strength by another level, and if Zhao Feng didn''t make major improvements, he might not have the qualifications to team up with Nan Gongsheng.


    Zhao Feng was silent for a moment. He could see the God corpse underground. The divination result from the little thieving cat as well as the interest of the Evil God Mental Thought Body in Nan Gongsheng''s body proved that the God corpse underground was definitely not simple. It was impossible for Zhao Feng to give up on the God corpse!


    Furthermore, now that the war between the two lord dynasties had halted and the Demigod from Nine Darkness Palace was already out, Zhao Feng felt that it wouldn''t be long till the Demigod of Nine Darkness Palace took action against the Hall of Gods. The fortune contained within the God corpse might be an opportunity for Zhao Feng to overtake Nine Darkness Palace.


    "I will definitely go scout out the God corpse!" Zhao Feng replied with a decisive gaze.


    With the current amount of resources he had and the duplication ability of his left eye, it wasn''t too difficult for him to increase his cultivation. In order to find out the secrets of the God corpse, Zhao Feng was willing to increase his cultivation speed even if his foundation wasn''t the best afterward.


    However, even if Zhao Feng managed to increase his cultivation by one small level, it still was nowhere close to enough for him to find out the secrets of the God Corpse. Therefore, Zhao Feng was willing to work together with Nan Gongsheng.


    "Good!" Nan Gongsheng revealed a wicked smile.


    The day they destroyed Nine Darkness Palace was the day he and Zhao Feng fought. If Zhao Feng was unable to catch up to his footsteps, then the final battle would have no meaning.


    Whoosh!


    Nan Gongsheng left behind a ball of wicked aura as he disappeared from Zhao Feng''s hall.


    "Hehehe! That brat is too cocky. What makes him so confident that he can catch up to your speed!?" the Evil God Mental Thought Body within Nan Gongsheng''s body laughed and said in disdain.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared after Nan Gongsheng left and waved its paws at Zhao Feng.


    "Sure. Resources aren''t a problem!" Zhao Feng agreed to the little thieving cat asking for resources without any hesitation. No one knew what kind of difficulties and danger the God corpse contained. The little thieving cat becoming stronger would be of great help to Zhao Feng. Back at the Divine Illusion Dimension, he had mainly relied on the little thieving cat.


    "It''s time for me to head back!" Zhao Feng murmured.


    According to the current situation, this forbidden divine light wouldn''t disappear for some time. The two lord dynasties didn''t want to fight anymore either; the war had changed into a fight for the God corpse. Whichever lord dynasty obtained more would decide the final victor.


    Therefore, there was no point for Zhao Feng to remain behind on the battlefield. On the contrary, there might be some danger if he stayed.


    The Sacred Emperor and Empress were still trying to find out how the Thirteenth Prince died, and the Demigod of Nine Darkness Palace was present as well.


    Since it was so easy for Zhao Feng to travel with the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng decided to first return to the Hall of Gods. Zhao Feng first went to Zhao Yufei though before leaving. The disturbance from the battlefield had woken up both Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei from seclusion.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei immediately sensed Zhao Feng''s approach, and he saw that his master Duanmu Qing was also present.


    "Yufei, I have something to do and need to go back to the Hall of Gods!" Zhao Feng said directly.


    "I''ll come with you!" Zhao Yufei said after thinking for a moment.


    "No, the Hall of Gods currently has a feud with Nine Darkness Palace. It''s best if you stay here!" Zhao Feng immediately replied.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, the main reason the Duanmu Family fell was because of Nine Darkness Palace. Therefore, Nine Darkness Palace wouldn''t want to see Zhao Yufei''s rise. Zhao Yufei''s Spiritual Race bloodline was too important to the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, so Nine Darkness Palace shouldn''t dare to kill her, but it didn''t hurt to take precautions.


    "Also, if my guesses are correct, Yufei''s cultivation speed here should be even faster!" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    The Spiritual Race bloodline ate the essence of Heaven and Earth, so the owner''s cultivation speed was faster if they were in a higher quality place like this. Due to the Divine Power, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi around the battlefield was different and extremely thick now. It was a perfect place for Zhao Yufei to cultivate, and this ancient power might even be able to increase the purity of Zhao Yufei''s bloodline.


    If Zhao Yufei was in the world of Gods, her Spiritual Race Bloodline would allow her to become a Sacred King at the least. She might have even become a God already.


    "Yufei, I found these resources by accident!" Zhao Feng took out an interspatial ring that contained some pond water from the Ancient Dream Realm, part of the bloodline from the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls, and an ancient herb that he couldn''t distinguish.


    Zhao Feng believed that these ancient resources would help Zhao Yufei dramatically. They weren''t much compared to the resources he currently had, but he couldn''t just give it all away because it wouldn''t be a good idea to take out too much right now.


    Zhao Feng then said goodbye to Zhao Yufei and Duanmu Qing before leaving the battlefield.


    "Junior Martial Sister Yufei, you can cultivate in peace. With your Spiritual Race bloodline, becoming a God is just a matter of time. You don''t need to take this risk!" Duanmu Qing persuaded after Zhao Feng left.


    The forbidden power of a God on the battlefield was gradually weakening. Everyone knew that this power would disappear one day, and at that moment, all of the experts in the continent zone would try to find the treasure underground.


    The Demigods of both lord dynasties would appear; the danger involved was too high. Duanmu Qing didn''t have strong enough Mystic Light Realm experts to protect Zhao Yufei, so Duanmu Qing didn''t want Zhao Yufei to go.


    "No, I have to go in!" Zhao Yufei said in a certain tone. She knew that Zhao Feng would definitely enter, and she wanted to help Zhao Feng as much as she could.


    "Yufei, why are you doing this to yourself?" Sacred Lord Purple Night''s voice sounded in her soul.


    "I will focus on cultivating during this period of time, so I''ll have the ability to protect myself then!"


    Zhao Yufei''s body glittered with a faint purple light as the essence of Heaven and Earth merged into her.


    The Spiritual Race was ranked 19th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and their cultivation ruled supreme. As long as they had enough Heaven and Earth essence, the Spiritual Race could devour it and increase their power.

 1071 Terrifying Combination

    Chapter 1071 - Terrifying Combination


    "I will focus on cultivating during this period of time, so I''ll have the ability to protect myself then!"


    Zhao Yufei''s body glittered with a faint purple light as the essence of Heaven and Earth merged into her.


    The Spiritual Race was ranked 19th in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and their cultivation ruled supreme. As long as they had enough Heaven and Earth essence, the Spiritual Race could devour it and increase their power.


    "This is¡­?" Zhao Yufei put her Divine Sense into the interspatial ring that Zhao Feng gave her. She opened a glass bottle, and a thick surge of bloodline aura from one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races appeared. It shook her Spiritual Race bloodline, and her sleeping bloodline genes started to awaken.


    A powerful Spiritual Race bloodline pressure was released from Zhao Yufei''s body and caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby to shake. Purple light flashed and created a whirlwind. The Mystic Light Sacred power in Duanmu Qing''s body next to her started to shake. It was suppressed and unable to be circulated.


    "Yufei? What is it?" Duanmu Qing instantly asked as he sensed the sudden change in Zhao Yufei. He felt that Zhao Yufei''s Spiritual Race bloodline had become much stronger, and the pressure radiating from it made Duanmu Qing feel as if he was tiny in comparison.


    "It''s this. Brother Feng gave it to me¡­." Zhao Yufei took out a transparent glass bottle containing some dark yellow glittering blood, and an ancient bloodline aura started to slowly seep out.


    "What a thick ancient aura. It seems to be from one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and the purity of it¡­" Duanmu Qing was completely stunned as he put his Divine Sense inside the bottle.


    Hu~


    Duanmu Qing waved his hand, and a barrier instantly appeared to block the ancient bloodline aura.


    "Yufei, if you completely absorb the genes and aura of this bloodline, the purity of your Spiritual Race bloodline might be able to improve!" Sacred Lord Purple Night''s voice sounded in Zhao Yufei''s mind.


    "How does Zhao Feng have something so precious!?" Duanmu Qing asked in surprise.


    "There''s also this as well!" Zhao Yufei paused for a moment before taking out a herb from the interspatial ring.


    She didn''t know what it was, so she took it out for Sacred Lord Dark Night and Duanmu Qing to look at.


    "This is a Sacred Spirit Green Jade Grass, a legendary herb from ancient times. It contains the element of Wood, which can be merged into the Sacred Power Whirlpool of a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord¡­."


    Sacred Lord Purple Night was extremely knowledgeable and instantly recognized the herb. Everyone knew that the strength of a Sacred Lord was related to the Sacred Power Whirlpool within their body. Most importantly, this Sacred Spirit Green Jade Grass contained an extremely thick ancient aura that helped even Zhao Yufei''s precious bloodline.


    "This Zhao Feng has really put in a lot of effort. He''s given so many precious resources to you!" Sacred Lord Purple Night sighed.


    "Brother Feng, I won''t let you down!" Zhao Yufei was extremely excited as she held the two treasures.


    Zhao Feng had given her such precious treasures. This made Zhao Yufei feel warm, and her eyes became watery.


    There was also a flask of cold water in the interspatial ring. Zhao Yufei believed that the water would also be unique.


    Like this, Zhao Yufei used the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth as well as the resources that Zhao Feng had given her to enter seclusion.


    "This liquid can increase my Soul Intent!"


    Zhao Yufei was surprised by the effect of the water within the flask. Zhao Yufei''s physical cultivation was always higher than her soul''s. If her Soul Intent was able to become stronger, then her cultivation would increase even more quickly.


    ¡­


    Elsewhere, Zhao Feng used the ability of the Misty Spatial World to pass between provinces and return to the Hall of Gods in Yu Province.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment mid-way.


    "A couple dozen thousand miles away is the Dark Ghost Clan!"


    The Dark Ghost Clan was where Zhao Wang was staying. At this moment, the connection between Zhao Feng and Zhao Wang was extremely clear. It was as if Zhao Feng was in the Dark Ghost Clan himself.


    In the Dark Ghost Clan:


    "Senior Martial Brother Zhao Wang!"


    "Senior Martial Brother Zhao Wang has become even stronger!"


    "Senior Martial Brother Zhao is the peerless prodigy of the Dark Ghost Clan, and his name will definitely shock the Great Gan Lord Dynasty in the future!"


    Many inner disciples and even some Core disciples of the Dark Ghost Clan were extremely respectful to Zhao Wang.


    At this time, Zhao Wang was already a Domain-level King, and he was the Head disciple of the Dark Ghost Clan. He was a once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy in the Dao of Ghosts, and he was the personal disciple of the First Elder of the Dark Ghost Clan. The status of the First Elder was only below that of the Grand Elder.


    Zhao Wang ignored everything and had a cold expression as he left the Dark Ghost Clan. When Zhao Wang progressed a certain distance, he looked around and didn''t find anything suspicious.


    The next instant, a whirlpool containing many treasures appeared next to Zhao Wang. Zhao Wang stored them away the moment they appeared. Zhao Wang then headed in another direction and left the Dark Ghost Clan.


    Zhao Feng had an emotionless expression. He really needed Zhao Wang to become stronger more quickly.


    Zhao Feng had fought against many Sacred Lords after becoming one himself, and he realized just how important clones were. At the critical moment, they had the ability to turn the tide.


    Zhao Feng''s clone was too weak. Of course, the main reason was because Zhao Wang was in the Dark Ghost Clan and couldn''t over-perform, lest he draw unwanted attention, but Zhao Feng couldn''t wait anymore.


    Zhao Feng gave Zhao Wang many precious ancient resources this time. Most were useful even for Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords.


    Zhao Feng''s plan was to make Zhao Wang leave the Dark Ghost Clan for a while, and upon returning, he would say that he went to an inheritance, where he obtained many cultivating resources. This would allow Zhao Wang''s strength to increase rapidly with a good reason.


    Zhao Feng then slowly disappeared in a layer of silver light after giving resources to Zhao Wang. Zhao Feng returned to the Hall of Gods a day later. He didn''t attract anyone''s attention and directly entered the Hall of Gods.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night and Bi Qingyue had been waiting in a secret hall. Bi Qingyue reported the current situation of the Hall of Gods to Zhao Feng as well as some other important information. Supreme Emperor Dark Night then told Zhao Feng the current circumstances of the Silence Assassination Division because the success rate recently was very high.


    "Supreme Emperor Dark Night, limit the amount of assassination missions and slowly reduce them!" Zhao Feng told Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    Now that the Sacred Kings and a Demigod of Nine Darkness Palace had come out, it would be better if the Silence Assassination Division slowed down their actions.


    "Bi Qingyue, is there any news of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon?" Zhao Feng asked.


    He was curious about the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. After all, Zhao Feng was one of the main people that stopped it in the Divine Illusion Dimensions, and he even used the power of his left eye to fight with it.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was severely injured after fighting with Demigod Dragon Emperor and ran away. No one knows where it is!" Bi Qingyue said.


    "He managed to survive against Demigod Dragon Emperor?" Zhao Feng was slightly disappointed.


    Although Demigod Dragon Emperor was the strongest Demigod from the Grand Imperial Hall, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wasn''t exactly weak. It was very likely that Demigod Dragon Emperor was attracted by the power of the God corpse that appeared on the battlefield, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon managed to escape with the distraction.


    Zhao Feng felt uneasy that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t die. After all, at its peak, the strength of this dragon was on par with Ancient God Xie Yang.


    ¡­


    Inside a concealed canyon within the Shuang Province battlefield, a fierce male covered in black scales faced a simple female in white.


    "Kill Zhao Feng?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon paused for a moment. He didn''t expect this to be the reason why the Eyes of Destiny owner found it.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a deep impression of Zhao Feng. If it wasn''t for Zhao Feng, it would have been able to enter Xie Yang Palace long ago and obtain some resources. Its strength would''ve been able to increase by leaps and bounds, which would''ve let him fight the Demigods of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty without injury.


    "Killing one person with the assistance of the Eyes of Destiny should be very simple, right!?"


    Cunningness appeared in the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was obviously very familiar with the Eye of Destiny. The Eye of Destiny didn''t have any fighting capabilities, but if the owner wanted to kill someone, they could change the future to do so.


    "You might not know this, but Zhao Feng''s left eye has the potential to become the Ninth God''s Eye!" Bai Lin said calmly and smiled.


    "The Ninth God''s Eye?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was utterly stunned.


    The Eight Great God Eyes were unique existences on par with the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Each God Eye could be ranked at least within the top twenty among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races in terms of power.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t doubt what Bai Lin said. It had fought against Zhao Feng, so it knew how powerful his eye-bloodline was firsthand.


    There were rumors about the Eight Great God Eyes that each and every one of them contained an Origin Dimension unique in the world. This should be the same for the Ninth God''s Eye. If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was able to kill Zhao Feng and destroy the Origin Dimension within the Ninth God''s Eye, it would obtain a very powerful source of Destruction that would increase its strength dramatically.


    "That''s right. His God''s Eye has already formed. It''s too hard for my Eyes of Destiny to calculate his fate!" Bai Lin shook her head.


    When Zhao Feng''s left eye had become golden, the difficulty for her to calculate the future kept on increasing. Therefore, Bai Lin started to calculate the future of all those that were in contact with Zhao Feng, such as Duke Nanfeng, Old Monster Xu, the Ninth Prince, Zhao Yufei, and the Ocean Smoke Pavilion.


    Bai Lin secretly changed the fate of these people and tried to push Zhao Feng into danger, but her actions didn''t manage to do anything to Zhao Feng. Afterward, not long after the Crown Prince trial ended, Bai Lin found that her calculation abilities were being interrupted by another power of destiny. It was impossible for her to kill Zhao Feng by herself.


    Of course, Bai Lin didn''t tell the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon any of that.


    "Sure, I''ll help you kill Zhao Feng, and you help me get rid of the danger around the God corpse so I can obtain the most benefits possible!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon agreed with an excited and cruel expression.

 1072 Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame

    Chapter 1072 - Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame


    All the forces within the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, whether they were big or small, had their eyes trained on the front lines. On the other hand, Zhao Feng only left behind a few intel agents on the battlefield and summoned all the other members back to the Hall of Gods.


    The important upper echelon members of the Hall of Gods like Bi Qingyue, Supreme Emperor Dark Night, Old Monster Xu, the black-armored Sacred Lord, and company didn''t doubt Zhao Feng''s decision.


    Zhao Feng himself immediately entered seclusion to raise his cultivation so that he would be able to scout out the God corpse in the future.


    Zhao Feng had obtained a large amount of precious resources from the Ancient Dream Realm after conquering the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls and the Sky Fire Lightning Ape. Zhao Feng''s left eye had the ability to duplicate as well, so he could duplicate all the resources he needed until they were no longer of use to him.


    Zhao Feng mainly focused on his cultivation this time. Apart from that, he also worked on his Soul eye-bloodline techniques.


    Increasing his cultivation could reduce the gap between him and Sacred Kings so that he could protect himself against one. As for Soul eye-bloodline techniques, they were Zhao Feng''s strongest killing move apart from the God Slaying Arrow.


    Right now, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. His Soul eye-bloodline techniques could damage Sacred Kings; his Gaze of the God Eye and the God Eye Dispersion could even severely injure them.


    However, there was a flaw in both of these skills ¨C when using them, Zhao Feng couldn''t do anything else. Since Sacred Lord experts usually had clones, the effectiveness of these two eye-bloodline techniques were drastically reduced. Currently, Zhao Feng''s clone - Zhao Wang ¨C wasn''t strong enough and couldn''t fight alongside him either.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and decided to multi-task.


    The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique could increase Zhao Feng''s cultivation while the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body increased Zhao Feng''s physical defense and power, allowing him to not be completely useless against a Sacred King.


    Zhao Feng also partially focused on cultivating soul-type secret techniques to strengthen his soul.


    The last bit of his thoughts absorbed the power of God Tribulation Lightning within one of the Demigod heads. He put the other Demigod head into the dimension of his left eye to duplicate it.


    If Zhao Feng''s duplication ability had awakened earlier, there would have been a lot more power of God Tribulation Lightning within the Demigod head, which would''ve made Zhao Feng''s duplication of them more efficient. Now though, each Demigod head only contained 5% of the total amount it used to have.


    Like this, Zhao Feng entered seclusion in the Hall of Gods while all the other forces in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty were focused on the front lines. The Hall of Gods used this chance to quickly expand.


    Three months later, Zhao Feng felt that his cultivation progress was extremely slow. This was because Zhao Feng had just broken through to the Mystic Light Realm recently and was continuously using precious resources from the Ancient Dream Realm, heavily reducing their effectiveness on him.


    "If that''s the case, then it''s your turn!" A white crystal appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. It gave off the faint aura of a God and caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby to tremble.


    Substandard God Crystals were a luxury that Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords had, and they were usually only used when a Sacred Lord was about to break through. Zhao Feng was only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm and was only using the Substandard God Crystals to increase his cultivation.


    Zhao Feng also put a Substandard God Crystal into the dimension of his left eye to duplicate it. After all, he didn''t exactly have a lot of Substandard God Crystals.


    Weng!


    Zhao Feng gripped the Substandard God Crystal and absorbed a stream of pure Heaven Earth essence into his body before moving it to the Sacred Power Whirlpool within his dantian.


    "What a pure source of energy!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but become overjoyed.


    Zhao Feng almost didn''t even need to refine the energy within the Substandard God Crystals at all; he could just use it directly. Since this was the first time he was using the Substandard God Crystals, the energy contained within it greatly helped Zhao Feng''s body.


    The energy contained within the Substandard God Crystals was very strong, and it could refine the Sacred Power Whirlpool within Zhao Feng''s body. To a certain degree, it increased how strong Zhao Feng''s Mystic Light Sacred Power was.


    Like this, Zhao Feng used the Substandard God Crystals to increase his cultivation. If the Sacred Lords of the continent knew that Zhao Feng was wasting Substandard God Crystals like this and using them as a daily resource, they would probably vomit blood in anger.


    "If I use Substandard God Crystals, I should be able to reach the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm before the God corpse is revealed!" Zhao Feng thought. This was the first time he was increasing his cultivation in such a rush and not consolidating his foundation. However, the sacrifice he was making was for the God corpse, and it would all be worth it.


    Furthermore, with the duplication ability of his left eye, Zhao Feng could use Substandard God Crystals while creating more. It was an endless cycle, so Zhao Feng didn''t need to worry that he wouldn''t have enough Substandard God Crystals.


    However, while duplicating the Substandard God Crystal, the Yuan Qi and Eye Intent within his body were also decreasing, so he needed to eat many precious herbs during the duplication process or take a break to rest.


    Zhao Feng''s thought quickly spun. Countless theories and soul secret techniques flashed by in his mind. At the same time, Zhao Feng thought about the Soul eye-bloodline techniques and secret techniques that he had learned in the past.


    After thinking for a long time, Zhao Feng understood that, in order to create a new eye-bloodline technique that could threaten or injure Sacred Kings, he couldn''t base it off his Soul Intent. Most of the damage from Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline techniques actually came from the God Tribulation Lightning.


    "What if I used my soul power as support for the power of God Tribulation Lightning?" Zhao Feng had a thought.


    In the past, Zhao Feng had always based his Soul eye-bloodline techniques off his soul power and Eye Intent while using the God Tribulation Lightning as support. All traditional Soul eye-bloodline techniques were like this.


    Zhao Feng started to study new eye-bloodline techniques from a different perspective; he started from the God Tribulation Lightning.


    A month later, Zhao Feng still found that it was extremely difficult to create powerful eye-bloodline techniques from this perspective, so he decided to improve a skill that he already knew.


    Zhao Feng chose the Wind Lightning Eye Flame. The Wind Lightning Eye Flame was extremely useful, and it became stronger as Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique progressed, which was why he was still using it.


    Zhao Feng felt that the progress was extremely smooth when improving the Wind Lightning Eye Flame. After all, he knew it very well already.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly opened three months later, and a terrifying Soul aura with the laws of Destruction spread. A ball of God Tribulation Lightning blinked in Zhao Feng''s left eye. Each mark of God Tribulation Lightning glittered with a soul-fire that finally formed a ball of crystalline purple God Tribulation Lightning soul-fire.


    "Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame, complete!"


    A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face. The completion of the Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame meant that Zhao Feng''s mastery over the God Tribulation Lightning had improved.


    In this period of time, Zhao Feng managed to duplicate three more Demigod heads, and he absorbed all the God Tribulation Lightning within them into his Lightning Soul Body. Zhao Feng had almost four thousand God Tribulation Lightning symbols within his Lightning Soul Body now. He didn''t know how strong his Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame would be if he combined all of the symbols of God Tribulation Lightning together.


    The Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame was different from the Wind Lightning Eye Flame. The Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame only existed in the soul-dimension and aimed solely for soul damage.


    Furthermore, the power of the Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame was in correlation with the number of God Tribulation Lightning symbols Zhao Feng had. This meant that, as long as Zhao Feng kept on duplicating the Demigod heads and absorbing the power of God Tribulation Lightning within them, the strength of his Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame would increase.


    Zhao Feng ended seclusion and took a break from cultivating after completing the Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame.


    Zhao Feng had managed to create a Soul eye-bloodline technique after seven months of seclusion, but his cultivation still hadn''t broken through to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm even with the help of so many substandard God Crystals.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng''s left eye had the ability to duplicate substandard God Crystals or else all of his substandard God crystals might have been used up. However, Zhao Feng''s current state wasn''t very good since he had constantly been using the duplication ability of his left eye for seven months. He needed time to recover.


    Zhao Feng used the Dark Heart Seal to contact Bi Qingyue after coming out of seclusion.


    "Master, the Divine Power near the front lines has completely disappeared, and all the experts in the continent zone can reach a depth of several thousand miles now," Bi Qingyue reported to Zhao Feng.


    "They can already reach several thousand miles underground now!?" Zhao Feng was surprised. The speed of the Divine Power''s disappearance far exceeded his expectations.


    Time didn''t wait for anyone. Zhao Feng needed to break through to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm as soon as possible or else he truly wouldn''t be able to seek fortune from the God corpse.


    "Master, the imperials are here!" Bi Qingyue''s voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "The imperials?" Zhao Feng''s gaze saw through everything; he saw two imperials outside the Hall of Gods. One of them was Sacred King Feather Spirit. Alongside Sacred King Feather Spirit was an early-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord.


    "A Sacred King coming at this time¡­?" Zhao Feng felt that something was not good.


    Everyone was attracted by the Divine Power on the battlefield, and almost all the Sacred Kings were near the battlefield, unwilling to leave at all. However, Sacred King Feather Spirit had come to the Hall of Gods at this time?


    Zhao Feng didn''t know Sacred King Feather Spirit well, but he pretty much knew why Sacred King Feather Spirit was here.


    "Senior Feather Spirit, please come in!" Zhao Feng messaged and invited Sacred King Feather Spirit into the hall.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred King Feather Spirit took the other Sacred Lord and entered the hall to see Zhao Feng. In an instant, all the laws and power of Heaven and Earth nearby were affected by Sacred King Feather Spirit''s each and every action.


    "Zhao Feng, I''m here for the Thirteenth Prince and why he was killed!" Sacred King Feather Spirit said righteously.


    "Sacred Lord Gonghuang can prove that I didn''t leave the city that day," Zhao Feng replied with a faint smile. He didn''t panic.


    "Zhao Feng! Don''t deny it! You have a substandard God item ¨C the Misty Spatial World! As long as you leave a mark behind wherever the Thirteenth Prince would pass, you can go directly there and back!" the green-robed early-stage Sacred Lord next to Sacred King Feather Spirit immediately said.


    This early-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord was the Sacred Empress'' grandfather. The Sacred Emperor, Empress, and this elder in green robes had begged Sacred King Feather Spirit to personally find out the truth.


    "Furthermore, we found an aura of Wind Lightning where the Thirteenth Prince was killed!" The green-robed elder revealed a deadly smile.

 1073 Forced Back

    Chapter 1073 - Forced Back


    "Furthermore, we found an aura of Wind Lightning where the Thirteenth Prince was killed!" The green-robed elder revealed a deadly smile.


    Even Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords weren''t able to easily sense such a faint aura of Wind Lightning. Only Sacred Kings, who had total control over the laws of Heaven and Earth, could sense it. It was obvious that Sacred King Feather Spirit was the one that had found this.


    The Sacred Emperor had put her sights on Zhao Feng straight from the beginning. Firstly, the Ninth Prince didn''t have the ability to do so back then even if he wanted to. Secondly, although Zhao Yufei was unwilling to marry the Thirteenth Prince, she wouldn''t have killed the Thirteenth Prince and forced the Duanmu Family into such a risky situation. Thirdly, Nan Gongsheng and Demigod Kun Yun had never even seen the Thirteenth Prince before; even if they were the ones that actually killed the Thirteenth Prince, Zhao Feng would have been the mastermind.


    Apart from these people, there were no other experts nearby that could''ve threatened the Thirteenth Prince''s group.


    "Aura of Wind Lightning? What can that explain?" Zhao Feng acted calm and asked with a faint smile, but in reality, his heart dropped. Back then, he only just broke through to the Mystic Light Realm, so he didn''t have total control over his power and left behind a trace.


    From the looks of it, Sacred King Feather Spirit wasn''t a normal Sacred King either. He was actually able to sense such a faint wisp of Wind Lightning despite how much time had passed.


    "What can that explain¡­?" The green-robed elder paused for a moment. He didn''t think that Zhao Feng would be so calm at this moment and have a smile on his face.


    "The aura of Wind Lightning means that the assassin used the laws of Wind Lightning. You have the substandard God item ¨C the Misty Spatial World! You could''ve easily assassinated the Thirteenth Prince by using its spatial abilities. Apparently, you also have rare treasures like the Spiritual Flesh Jade Lotus Root. It''s not impossible for you to have created a fake body out of that to trick Sacred Lord Gonghuang. All in all, the only person that could''ve even attempted the assassination is you!" the elder in green robes roared in anger.


    "Haha, you really know how to think!" Zhao Feng laughed but didn''t admit to the crimes.


    "Zhao Feng, admit your crimes!" Sacred King Feather Spirit finally spoke. They were here to question Zhao Feng, but the latter acted as if he didn''t even care and was extremely cocky.


    An invisible pressure started to surge toward Zhao Feng.


    "I didn''t kill him!" Zhao Feng immediately declined.


    "That doesn''t mean you aren''t suspicious!" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s eyebrows furrowed.


    In reality, it wasn''t a big deal for a prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty to die. In the past, the first prince, second prince, and a few others died from accidents. At the very most, they sent a few normal Mystic Light Realms to find out what had happened. If there was no result, then nothing happened.


    However, this time, the Sacred Emperor and Empress had personally asked him to find out the truth. The elder in green robes next to him also helped him back then. Otherwise, Sacred King Feather Spirit would''ve been far too lazy to care, but now that he decided to take action, Sacred King Feather Spirit would definitely find out the truth.


    What he cared about right now was the Divine Power on the front lines. He didn''t want to spend too much time with Zhao Feng. Besides, the opposition was just the Grand Elder of a measly three-star power, and he was only an initial-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord.


    "Sacred King Feather Spirit, what do you want to do then?" Zhao Feng looked at Sacred King Feather Spirit and asked.


    Zhao Feng had to be careful when facing Sacred King Feather Spirit. After all, he was part of the upper echelon member of the Grand Imperial Hall. If it was a Sacred King of another force, Zhao Feng wouldn''t need to be scared of them.


    One had to know that, with Zhao Feng''s current duplication ability, he could duplicate substandard God Slaying Arrows, so he had the ability to fight against a Sacred King with all his hidden cards.


    "I''ll search your soul. Everything will be known then!" Sacred King Feather Spirit gazed down at Zhao Feng.


    The elder in green robes next to him revealed a gruesome smile. From his point of view, Zhao Feng was definitely the culprit. Once they proved that the assassin was Zhao Feng, the green-robed elder and the Sacred Empress were confident that they could kill Zhao Feng and then cause a problem for the Ninth Prince. Although the Thirteenth Prince had died, he and the Sacred Empress would definitely take revenge. They didn''t want to see the Ninth Prince become the Sacred Emperor.


    "Sacred King Feather Spirit, don''t get too cocky!" Zhao Feng''s expression froze, and his respectful tone completely vanished.


    Sacred King Feather Spirit saying such a thing meant that he didn''t put Zhao Feng in his eyes at all. Searching one''s soul could damage it as well as the memories. Furthermore, he had many secrets, and any one of them could cause Sacred King Feather Spirit to become greedy.


    "I''m already being very respectful to you!" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s expression became grim. Zhao Feng''s words made him extremely unhappy. If it wasn''t for the fact that the Hall of Gods was a big force and Zhao Feng''s potential was also very high, Sacred King Feather Spirit would have used force right from the start to search Zhao Feng''s soul.


    "Please leave!" Zhao Feng immediately said goodbye.


    Now that the Divine Power blocking the area was gone, the strongest battle-power the imperials could send out were Sacred Kings. Demigods wouldn''t care about the death of a prince regardless of the circumstances.


    Furthermore, this was the Hall of Gods. If Zhao Feng dared to offend even Nine Darkness Palace, would he be scared of a single Sacred King? As long as Zhao Feng didn''t severely injure or kill Sacred King Feather Spirit, the Demigods of the Grand Imperial Hall wouldn''t do anything to Zhao Feng.


    "Hmph, if you want to do it the hard way, then so be it!" Sacred King Feather Spirit was enraged. Based on Zhao Feng''s actions, he was definitely the person that killed the Thirteenth Prince.


    Besides, Sacred King Feather Spirit was extremely interested in the treasures that Zhao Feng had, such as the Misty Spatial World and the various materials from the Divine Illusion Dimension. Rumors said that Zhao Feng even had a God Slaying Arrow.


    The elder in green robes was overjoyed. He didn''t know where Zhao Feng got the courage to act against Sacred King Feather Spirit, but Zhao Feng was definitely dead now.


    "How dare you!?"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye shone with countless crystalline white light, and a surge of Destructive soul power arose. Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye sensed that Sacred King Feather Spirit was about to attack, so he took action first.


    "Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng instantly unleashed the new Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame technique that he just created. A ball of Lightning Tribulation symbols gave off a terrifying Soul aura as they burned like a flame and landed on Sacred King Feather Spirit''s soul.


    Sacred King Feather Spirit was instantly interrupted from his attack.


    "Arghh¡­!" Sacred King Feather Spirit felt like his soul had entered the depths of hell. Lightning and fire bombarded his soul, and bone-searing pain that caused unrecoverable damage exploded in Sacred King Feather Spirit''s mind.


    The green-robed elder next to Sacred King Feather Spirit wasn''t within the range of Zhao Feng''s attack, but his soul could still feel the terrifying power of God Tribulation Lightning. The green-robed elder shivered and looked at Zhao Feng like he was looking at a monster.


    "Please leave!" Zhao Feng said once more.


    "Zhao Feng, you¡­!" Sacred King Feather Spirit slowly recovered and was shocked.


    Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline technique just now caught him off guard and heavily damaged his soul. If Zhao Feng used this attack again, his soul might not be able to recover from the damage for at least a couple dozen millennia.


    His journey for scouting out the treasures underground might be heavily affected, so Sacred King Feather Spirit had to return and heal his soul.


    However, what he couldn''t understand was the fact that Zhao Feng was only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm. How could he unleash such a powerful attack? At this moment, Sacred King Feather Spirit looked at Zhao Feng with caution.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re very skilled!" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s expression darkened.


    "Let''s go!" Sacred King Feather Spirit and the elder in green robes left the Hall of Gods.


    "Senior Feather Spirit, you''re going to just let Zhao Feng off like this?" The green-robed elder immediately asked after they left the Hall of Gods.


    Although incredulous, Sacred King Feather Spirit ¨C who guarded the Great Gan Imperial Palace ¨C had been injured by Zhao Feng.


    "Sigh, I didn''t think that Zhao Feng had already grown to such a level!" The green-robed elder sighed secretly. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to force away even a Sacred King. It would be hard for his revenge to take place.


    "Hmph, right now, all the other upper echelon members of the Grand Imperial Hall are on the battlefield. It won''t be too late to deal with him after we finish scouting out the treasures underground. It''ll be even better if Zhao Feng dares to come underground!" Sacred King Feather Spirit laughed nastily before leaving. He obviously wouldn''t tell anyone that he was severely injured by Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline technique.


    If Zhao Feng came underground, Sacred King Feather Spirit could ask some other Sacred Lords that he had a good relationship with for help to take revenge.


    Within the Hall of Gods:


    "Master, you forced away Sacred King Feather Spirit?" Bi Qingyue asked in surprise.


    Sacred King Feather Spirit was an upper echelon member of the Grand Imperial Hall, and the Grand Imperial Hall was the ruler of the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty. It was the strongest four-star power in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "It''s fine," Zhao Feng said simply. Sacred King Feather Spirit didn''t represent the entire Grand Imperial Hall, and Zhao Feng wasn''t scared of one Sacred King. Strength determined everything in this world.


    "The power of the Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame isn''t bad!" Zhao Feng laughed.


    In that moment just now, he unleashed all of his God Tribulation Lightning symbols and managed to damage Sacred King Feather Spirit''s soul, making him too scared to take action against Zhao Feng.


    "It just uses too many God Tribulation Lightning symbols!" Zhao Feng evaluated.


    The Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame exhausted almost all of Zhao Feng''s God Tribulation Lightning symbols. If he wanted to use the Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame again, he would need time for the power of the God Tribulation Lightning to recover.


    However, the Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame didn''t use his soul power. Even if his Soul Intent was extremely weak, he could still use the Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame.


    Zhao Feng started to duplicate the Demigod head after resting for a few days. His Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame would become stronger if he had more God Tribulation Lightning within his Lightning Soul Body.


    In this period of time, Zhao Feng used the substandard God Crystals to cultivate, and he hoped to break through to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    Zhao Feng had a feeling that the Divine Power would disappear completely soon, and the God corpse would soon be found. Therefore, Zhao Feng would communicate with Bi Qingyue while cultivating so he could know all the information regarding the status of the Divine Power.


    Four months later would be the time when the Ninth Prince became the official Sacred Emperor of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. However, even though this was a big event, almost none of the forces in the lord dynasty paid too much attention to the new Sacred Emperor. They still had their gazes trained on the Divine Power.


    In reality, all the upper echelons of the three-star forces in the lord dynasty knew that the imperials were just the rulers on the surface. The true rulers of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty were the members of the Grand Imperial Hall.


    One day, Bi Qingyue sent Zhao Feng a piece of news.


    "Master, a Demigod has reached nine thousand miles underground!"

 1074 Waiting

    Chapter 1074 - Waiting


    "Master, a Demigod has reached nine thousand miles underground!" Bi Qingyue sent Zhao Feng a message one day.


    "So fast?" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped.


    One had to know that the God corpse was just ten thousand miles underground, and a Demigod had already reached nine thousand miles. From the looks of it, the divine power became weaker exponentially.


    "I might not have enough power if it continues at this rate!" Zhao Feng said solemnly.


    He had been cultivating with substandard God Crystals and was just one step away from the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but the speed of the Divine Light''s disappearance from was becoming faster and faster. If Zhao Feng was too slow, he would lose many opportunities.


    "No, I need to get over there!" Zhao Feng decided. He contacted Bi Qingyue and obtained all information about the battlefield.


    "The upper echelons of both lord dynasties seem to have seen the God corpse, so they decided to stop the war and scout out the treasures together," Bi Qingyue told Zhao Feng.


    The two lord dynasties only said that they would scout out the treasures underground together. There were no other clauses; if members of each lord dynasty met one another underground, they might attack.


    In other words, the war had basically been transferred underground.


    Furthermore, one could tell how big the treasury was underground just from looking at the range of the divine light. The two lord dynasties had no restrictions, which meant that anyone could go in if they wanted to.


    "As I thought, it turned out like this!"


    Zhao Feng had guessed this long ago. Because the secret beneath wasn''t a secret realm or a separate dimension, almost all of the strongest experts of both lord dynasties would enter. There was no way to limit the number of people even if they wanted to.


    However, while there was no limit or restriction, normal Sacred Lords probably wouldn''t even dare to enter because the Sacred Kings and Demigods of both lord dynasties would be entering. If normal Sacred Lords entered and met a Sacred King or Demigod of the opposing lord dynasty, the only path in front of them was death.


    The Heavenly Divine Realm was too far away for Sacred Lords at the initial and early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, so weaker Sacred Lords wouldn''t take such a huge risk.


    Zhao Feng went to Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit after understanding everything. This time, he took out even more precious bits of flesh and bloodlines, as well as a small number of ancient resources he could distinguish, and told Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit to craft even higher graded pills.


    Zhao Feng took these pills away seven days later and summoned Supreme Emperor Dark Night.


    "Supreme Emperor Dark Night, immediately send out large amount of assassination missions that target the middle-upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace!" Zhao Feng immediately ordered. The number of assassination missions this time would be very big, and the difficulty would be very high.


    Zhao Feng had specially marked out one of them; the Grand Elder of the Dark Ghost Clan.


    Now that the Divine Power on the battlefield was fading away, the upper echelon members and the Demigod of Nine Darkness Palace couldn''t leave the battlefield. This was the best chance for the Hall of Gods to weaken Nine Darkness Palace.


    Zhao Feng knew that, even if he didn''t take action against Nine Darkness Palace, the upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace might attack the Hall of Gods after they finished scouting out the God corpse.


    One day, a large amount of missions that gave out plentiful rewards were set by the Silence Assassination Division, and their targets were all important members of Nine Darkness Palace or their subordinate forces.


    Assassins were also looking at the timing. As most of Nine Darkness Palace''s strength was attracted by the battlefield, many assassins were willing to give it a try.


    It was time for Zhao Feng to leave after giving out the orders.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, and his figure started to turn faint and finally disappeared as a layer of silver light covered him. Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World to quickly head toward the Lan Province battlefield.


    Zhao Feng suddenly stopped midway and concealed his aura as he arrived at the Dark Ghost Clan. With Zhao Feng''s current cultivation, he was able to sneak into the Dark Ghost Clan easily.


    The Dark Ghost Clan was where Zhao Wang was staying. The Grand Elder of the Dark Ghost Clan was the elder that had tried to kill Zhao Feng with the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array alongside the black-armored Sacred Lord and company, but he managed to escape in the end.


    "It''s time to take your life!" Zhao Feng laughed coldly. He left a Mark of the God Eye on the elder back then, so he was able to sense his location precisely.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng walked past Zhao Wang in the Dark Ghost Clan, and the two smiled at one another.


    Zhao Wang had acted on Zhao Feng''s orders last time and left the clan for a while. When he returned, he claimed that he had encountered big fortune that allowed his cultivation to increase quickly. Zhao Wang was now a Peak-tier King, and his Soul Intent had reached the level of a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    Zhao Wang also had the Eye of Death. Although he didn''t reveal it, the Eye of Death allowed his cultivation in the Dao of Ghosts and the Dao of Death to progress smoothly. Even some peak Emperor Elders of the Dark Ghost Clan weren''t Zhao Wang''s match.


    Zhao Feng soon arrived in a canyon surrounded by dark ghastly air.


    Weng~~ Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng immediately activated the Sacred Lightning Body, and a burst of golden light shone from him. A dark yellow layer of lightning surfaced on his body, and an invisible pressure radiated from him and covered Heaven and Earth.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng shattered the array in front of the canyon with a punch and charged straight in.


    "Who is it!?" The elder in seclusion within the canyon was instantly awakened.


    "Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng used his killing move directly.


    Whoosh!


    A ball of burning Lightning Tribulation marks with a terrifying Soul aura landed on the elder''s soul.


    "Arghh, it''s you¡­!" the elder screamed.


    Whoosh!


    In just an instant, the Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame turned the soul of the elder into ashes.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and even Sacred King Feather Spirit was injured by Zhao Feng''s Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame. How could a measly Sacred Lord at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm block Zhao Feng''s soul attack?


    The entire Dark Ghost Clan started to take action as the Grand Elder of the Dark Ghost Clan died.


    "Who dares to enter the forbidden area of the Dark Ghost Clan?"


    "What courage! Do you not know that the Dark Ghost Clan is one of the biggest subordinate forces of Nine Darkness Palace?"


    Some Emperors within the Dark Ghost Clan roared as they released their Divine Senses, but Zhao Feng already used the Misty Spatial World and left after killing the Grand Elder of the Dark Ghost Clan.


    Zhao Feng''s figure slowly appeared outside a Spiritual Palace in some part of the continent zone.


    "I''ll leave the rest to you!" Zhao Feng smiled and said to himself. He did everything to pave a path for Zhao Wang. With the death of the Dark Ghost Clan''s Grand Elder and all the upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace being gathered at the battlefield, the Dark Ghost Clan would choose a new Grand Elder themselves, and the Elders would change too.


    After leaving everything to Zhao Wang, Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World to head toward the battlefield of Lan Province.


    Several days later:


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s figure suddenly appeared outside a city near the battlefield of Lan Province, but the city was extremely empty. Most of the experts that were once here had gone underground.


    Boom!


    A wicked figure covered in purple-and-blood-colored light suddenly charged out from the city. Alongside the figure was a terrifying, forceful, wicked power that shook the hearts of the remaining experts within the city.


    "I thought you wouldn''t come." Nan Gongsheng inspected Zhao Feng with interest. Although he knew that Zhao Feng had the Misty Spatial World and could arrive very easily, the treasury below was extremely dangerous. Normal Sacred Lords at the initial or early stages of the Mystic Light Realm didn''t dare to enter.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had a feud with Nine Darkness Palace. He would die if he met a Sacred King or Demigod from Nine Darkness Palace.


    "Your strength¡­" Nan Gongsheng''s eyebrows furrowed. Zhao Feng''s cultivation hadn''t improved by much.


    "Brother Feng, take me with you!" Zhao Yufei''s voice sounded at this moment, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi suddenly shook. A purple figure flashed to Zhao Feng''s side and instantly released a powerful bloodline pressure.


    Zhao Yufei was at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and her skin gave off a purple light as if she was a goddess of jade and ice. Even someone as strong as Nan Gongsheng felt his Sacred Power and bloodline tremble.


    "Yufei''s strength¡­" Zhao Feng was surprised. He didn''t expect the small amount of resources he gave her to make her so much stronger.


    "As expected of the Spiritual Race bloodline!" Nan Gongsheng obviously knew that Zhao Yufei had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race, but it was easy to tell that the purity of it had increased from the fact that her bloodline could now pressure him.


    "The two of you are about right," Nan Gongsheng had a cold expression as he said casually. He was disappointed by the fact that Zhao Feng didn''t break through, but he placed a lot of importance on Zhao Yufei''s Spiritual Race bloodline.


    "Then let''s go!" Zhao Feng didn''t say too much.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three immediately left.


    An abyss that extended across the battlefield appeared in the earth. Countless experts consisting mostly of Kings and Emperors gathered near the abyss. There were also many Sacred Lords at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    On the opposite side of the abyss were a bunch of non-humans.


    "That''s Zhao Yufei, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Feng!"


    "The Purple-Haired Demonic Duo are going to team up once more?"


    "That Zhao Feng really doesn''t know how death is written. He wants the treasures underground even though he''s only at the initial stages of the Mystic Light Realm?"


    Many experts near the abyss mocked or were in shock.


    A black-armored male immediately used a unique message token and sent out a message as soon as he saw Zhao Feng appear; "Senior Feather Spirit, Zhao Feng is here!"


    A jade slip appeared in the hand of an elder in black robes nearby, and it quickly merged into the air and disappeared.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and Nan Gongsheng jumped into the abyss and started to head downward.


    Weng~


    A faint layer of gold light appeared on Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "The Divine Power hasn''t completely disappeared yet. All the experts of both lord dynasties are waiting underground!" Zhao Feng''s gaze saw through everything.


    Many experts from both lord dynasties stood close to the God corpse. Most of these experts were gathered in groups, representing some particular force. The forces that were able to stay underground were the strongest and most terrifying forces in the continent zone.

 1075 Entering the God Corpse

    Chapter 1075 - Entering the God Corpse


    "So that''s how it is!"


    Zhao Feng used the transparency ability of his left eye to scout out the situation underground, and he soon obtained some information.


    The experts underground were split into many groups by their respective forces. Some forces would take in other experts as well; some of the normal early-stage and late-stage Sacred Lords that didn''t dare to go alone would enter a force or clan for protection. At the same time, these forces would take in these experts in order to expand their overall strength and make sure they could obtain more of whatever was underground.


    There were also experts acting solo and small teams. Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei were one such team that just came together.


    Nan Gongsheng had reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and although he might not have consolidated his foundation yet, he still had the ability to fight against a Sacred King. Zhao Yufei was only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but she had the Spiritual Race bloodline, and when fighting near the God corpse, her battle-power wouldn''t be weaker than Nan Gongsheng''s due to the thick Heaven Earth Yuan Qi down there.


    Therefore, Zhao Feng''s team was very strong. As long as they didn''t meet a Demigod, there would be no accidents. This was also why Zhao Feng wasn''t worried about Zhao Yufei coming.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng still had another hidden card, and that was Demigod Kun Yun! He could roughly sense the location of Kun Yun with the square token he had received. Zhao Feng believed that Kun Yun should have become a bit stronger after so much time had passed.


    "Come with me!" Zhao Feng used the Mystic Light Sacred Power of the Earth of Wind Lightning to cover Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng and merged into the wall of an abyss.


    "Zhao Feng, you know how to use the laws of Earth?" Nan Gongsheng asked.


    Back in the Divine Illusion Dimension, Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng couldn''t do much when the Thousand Changes Illusionist Dragon and the Blue Serpent Dragon were using the laws of Earth to escape. They had to rely on the little thieving cat to force them out.


    Zhao Feng didn''t reply to Nan Gongsheng. He just continued to speed underground with his teammates.


    "The forces of Nine Darkness Palace aren''t nearby!" Zhao Feng felt lucky. If the forces of Nine Darkness Palace were close by, then Zhao Feng would have to take a big detour.


    Zhao Feng finally chose a certain spot and stopped.


    "We''ll wait for the Divine Power to disappear, then take action!" Zhao Feng said. He knew what was underground and how big of a range the Divine Power covered.


    Zhao Yufei didn''t question what Zhao Feng said. She immediately merged into her Little World and started to cultivate. Zhao Yufei was extremely close to the Divine Power right now, so it was very beneficial for her to cultivate here given her Spiritual Race bloodline.


    Although Nan Gongsheng had some questions, he didn''t say anything.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng entered the Misty Spatial World. The little thieving cat was snoring inside. Its gray fur was blinking with a weird light and giving off a bloodline aura that made even Zhao Feng''s heart jump.


    "Could the little thieving cat have a bloodline of one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races?" Zhao Feng asked himself. He was extremely knowledgeable and had interacted with many different Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines.


    According to his guesses, if the little thieving cat did have one of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races'' bloodlines, the ranking of the bloodline should be at least in the top thirty, but Zhao Feng was unable to determine which specific bloodline it was just from this chaotic aura alone.


    Zhao Feng had many questions regarding the little thieving cat, and now there was one more.


    Shua!


    Two substandard God Crystals appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    "There''s still a bit of time left till the Divine Power fully disappears. I''ll try to break through to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm before then!"


    Zhao Feng had a decisive look as he circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique to absorb the pure power within the substandard God Crystals.


    Even though Zhao Feng was in a team with Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei, it was still extremely dangerous for him to scout out the God corpse as a mere initial-stage Sacred Lord.


    At the same time, he put another substandard God Slaying Arrow into the dimension of his left eye and started to duplicate it. With Zhao Feng''s current strength, he could severely threaten Sacred Kings with his dark gold substandard God Slaying Arrows. The power of one was roughly on par with his Lightning Tribulation Eye Flame at full power, but Zhao Feng wouldn''t want to use up every God Tribulation Light symbol at once, so he needed to duplicate some more substandard God Slaying Arrows.


    The Divine Power underground started to slowly dim. Apart from Zhao Feng and company, the other forces and teams started to go down deeper as it slowly faded away because they still didn''t know how deep the abyss went.


    In the center of the Grand Imperial Hall''s forces, Demigod Dragon Emperor stood there and held a golden staff with a dragon head on it as he radiated a terrifying aura that suppressed everything within several miles.


    At the edge of the Grand Imperial Hall''s forces stood Sacred King Feather Spirit. His eyes flashed, and his consciousness entered his interspatial storage item as a certain object within it flashed. Sacred King Feather Spirit''s thoughts moved as he obtained some information.


    "Hehehe, he really dared to come here!?" A smile of mockery appeared on Sacred King Feather Spirit''s face.


    "Sacred King Xihai, that brat is here. Please help me, and I''ll repay you in the future!" Sacred King Feather Spirit said to a middle-aged male with blue hair next to him.


    Demigods and Sacred Kings led the various forces of the Grand Imperial Hall. Sacred King Feather Spirit and Sacred King Xihai were in the same team, and Sacred King Feather Spirit was the leader. There was one late-stage Sacred Lord and two early-stage Sacred Lords in their team as well.


    Such a terrifying team would be enough to destroy a three-star power in the outside world, but right now, this team that Sacred King Feather Spirit led probably wouldn''t even be in the top twenty teams of everyone present.


    "With the relationship between you and me, you don''t need to repay me!" Sacred King Xihai laughed and said. The laws of Water flowed around him and turned the mud into streams of water. He seemed to be submerged in a world of water.


    In another place underground that was covered by demonic mist:


    "Reporting to Grand Elder, we''ve confirmed that Zhao Feng has come!" an early-stage Sacred Lord half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully.


    A figure suddenly appeared in the demonic mist.


    "Zhao Feng''s here to seek death!"


    A dark purple demonic flame flashed in Demigod Dark Ocean''s eyes. He was the Grand Elder of Nine Darkness Palace, and almost all of the upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace hated Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had slain many experts of Nine Darkness Palace the moment they met, and he had taken over countless subordinate forces and resources of Nine Darkness Palace. His force had even stepped on Nine Darkness Palace''s fame to rise.


    Nine Darkness Palace wouldn''t tolerate such humiliation. Demigod Dark Ocean had been planning to deal with this himself as soon as they finished learning the secrets of the underground, but Zhao Feng actually came right to them instead.


    "Kill Zhao Feng on sight!" Demigod Dark Ocean''s voice sounded in the demonic mist.


    "Understood!" Powerful auras came from the leaders of various groups as they replied in the demonic mist.


    In a certain place underground, a male covered in black dragon scales stood next to a very normal female in white.


    "As expected of the Eyes of Destiny; none of the other experts are able to sense my existence here!"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon smiled nastily. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s hiding spot was perfectly far away from all the powerful forces of both lord dynasties.


    Bai Lin''s pale eyes suddenly released a surge of profound soul power that transformed into colorful images.


    "Still unable to see anything about Zhao Feng!" Bai Lin sighed as her pale-white eyes started to spin. At a certain moment, a wicked purple-and-blood-colored figure appeared in the images, and blurry sceneries formed as well.


    "We will meet Zhao Feng in the head of the God corpse!" Bai Lin said. As she was unable to see anything about Zhao Feng himself, she had to look at those related to Zhao Feng.


    "The head of the God corpse?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes flashed. Even if Bai Lin didn''t say that, his final goal was the head of the God corpse anyway.


    "Get ready to enter!" Bai Lin suddenly said, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon shook. The next instant, the Divine Power underground that could destroy everything in its path completely disappeared.


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon swept Bai Lin into his Little World and instantly charged downward. A white crystalline material appeared before the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "The combination of a God-like power and Divine Power!"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon instantly understood the state of this God corpse. The God Body of a True God was immortal and undying, and it was even more terrifying when merged with Divine Power. Even if all the Demigods of the continent zone teamed up, they probably wouldn''t be able to destroy it.


    "A gap?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes focused, and he admired the Eyes of Destiny even more. The God corpse was enormous, so it was extremely hard to find a gap, but there was one right in front of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. Everything was in the Eyes of Destiny''s control.


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon entered one of the gaps on the surface of the God corpse.


    Elsewhere in the depths underground, the God corpse was revealed as the Divine Power completely disappeared.


    "It''s the corpse of a God?" Demigod Dragon Emperor froze.


    "Such a large body! How strong was this person when they were alive? And why is their body here?" Grand Emperor Song''s Divine Sense scanned over the enormous God Corpse and was completely stunned.


    Boom! Hu~~


    All of the forces of both lord dynasties took action and charged toward the large crystalline God corpse.


    Peng! Boom!


    A Sacred King thrust out a destructive red bolt of lightning, but it didn''t leave any marks on the God corpse at all.


    "It''s completely unharmed!" This Sacred King was stunned, so he led his team to find an entrance.


    Elsewhere:


    "Zhao Feng!" Nan Gongsheng roared with faint anger.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s figure instantly appeared, and he had a smile on his face.


    "Brother Feng, you broke through?" Zhao Yufei congratulated as she sensed the difference in Zhao Feng''s aura.


    "That''s right!" Zhao Feng squeezed out a smile. He finally managed to break through to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm at the very end, but it was hard to say just how many resources and substandard God Crystals he used in this period of time.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Mystic Light Sacred Power of the Earth of Wind Lightning and charged forward as he covered the other two with his power as well.


    "This is a God corpse!" Zhao Feng didn''t conceal anything anymore and said directly.


    Whoosh!


    There was a gap in the God corpse right below them, and they jumped directly into the body of the God corpse.


    How can there be such a coincidence that a gap is directly below us!? Nan Gongsheng''s eyes darkened. He felt Zhao Feng''s mysteriousness and that unsurpassable sensation once more.

 1076 Blood Crystal Yao Spiri

    Chapter 1076 - Blood Crystal Yao Spirit


    The trio instantly felt a surge of dense Heaven Earth Yuan Qi when they entered the God corpse. It felt extremely nice, and the Sacred Power Whirlpools within their bodies started to spin even faster as it absorbed the nearby Heaven Earth Yuan Qi automatically.


    "My cultivation speed would be at least ten times faster than cultivating in the outside world!" Zhao Feng exclaimed in surprise.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within the God corpse was extremely thick. No place in the outside world could be compared to it. Furthermore, there was a powerful and quiet divine aura within the God corpse that allowed one to sense laws and Intent more clearly. It was a very good spot to cultivate.


    Whoosh!


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi seemed to bow to Zhao Yufei as she walked. It formed a stream of energy that quickly merged into her body.


    "Without even cultivating, the rate at which I absorb Heaven Earth Yuan Qi can reach the same state as when I''m in seclusion in the outside world!" Zhao Yufei was stunned and spoke in disbelief.


    Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng''s faces both froze as they stared at Zhao Yufei with gaping mouths. Her absorption speed here could reach the same state as when she was in seclusion in the outside world without even cultivating?


    One had to know that, even if Zhao Feng used the substandard God Crystals to cultivate, his cultivation speed wasn''t as fast as Zhao Yufei. At this moment, Zhao Yufei was only using her Spiritual Race bloodline to casually absorb the energy nearby, and the speed of her cultivation easily surpassed Zhao Feng when he used substandard God Crystals.


    Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng had to admit that they had underestimated Zhao Yufei''s bloodline once more. The top twenty bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were terrifying and definitely not as simple as they thought.


    "Yufei, how about you just stay behind and cultivate here?" Zhao Feng suggested. The God corpse was a perfect place for those with the Spiritual Race bloodline to cultivate. Every inch of the crystalline walls nearby contained the energy of Heaven and Earth, and it easily surpassed the power contained within substandard God Crystals. The energy in some places was even comparable to true God Crystals.


    This basically meant that the entire God corpse was the same as an enormous substandard God Crystal, but the structure of the God corpse was complete and extremely tough; it was impossible to be broken. However, those with the Spiritual Race bloodline could just absorb the energy within the God corpse directly. If Zhao Yufei stayed behind and cultivated here, she would probably be able to touch the level of Gods before long.


    "No, I want to stay with Brother Feng and find true fortune within the God corpse!" Zhao Yufei immediately declined. If she stayed behind by herself, the risk and danger Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had to face would increase dramatically. Besides, the reason Zhao Yufei entered the God corpse wasn''t to find fortune in the first place.


    "Let''s go then!" Zhao Feng''s heart moved and he immediately spoke.


    In comparison to the Heaven and Earth energy contained in the God corpse, there had to be even more precious treasures contained within it.


    A wicked aura radiated from Nan Gongsheng''s body and became stronger and stronger. It was obvious that the possibility of treasures existing within the God corpse increased the growth of the Evil God Mental Thought Body.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and threw out several coins into the air before pointing in a certain direction.


    "Let''s go!"


    Zhao Feng knew that the little thieving cat wouldn''t be sleeping at this moment in time. He left behind a spatial marking with his armguard before they left.


    Whoosh!


    The trio immediately flew in the direction that the little thieving cat pointed, but they stopped before they travelled very far.


    "What is this?" Zhao Feng approached the crystalline wall. There was a blood-colored crystalline grass in the corner.


    "What powerful Heaven Earth essence! It also has an ancient bloodline aura to it!" Zhao Yufei sniffed and said.


    "Could it be a precious herb created from a faint wisp of bloodline aura from the God corpse and its Divine Power?" Zhao Feng slowly analyzed.


    This blood-colored spiritual grass in the shape of a crystal wasn''t connected to the God corpse. It was as if it had grown out later.


    The blood-colored crystal grass was similar to the Sky Water Crystal Lotus that Zhao Feng once obtained; it was a treasure in between minerals and plants. However, this blood-colored crystalline spiritual grass was without a doubt rarer and contained a powerful ancient bloodline aura, as well as thick Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and the laws of Wood and Water.


    Furthermore, the energy contained within this crystalline spiritual grass was even more plentiful than the precious resources Zhao Feng had in the Ancient Dream Realm. Without saying anything else, Zhao Feng put this resource into the Misty Spatial World.


    After taking away the Blood Crystal Spiritual Grass, Zhao Feng realized that the essence of Heaven and Earth leaking out from the wall was comparable to God Crystals. Unfortunately, he was unable to take it away.


    Greed flashed through Nan Gongsheng''s eyes, but he suppressed himself. They had discussed things before they entered the God corpse; everything they obtained in the God corpse depended on who got it first.


    "There''s more there!" Nan Gongsheng''s eyes glanced toward a wall not too far away and immediately flew over, plucking away a crystalline herb.


    What Nan Gongsheng said made Zhao Feng turn his gaze away from the wall.


    "Could this just be normal grass in the God corpse?" Zhao Feng''s expression froze, and he felt slightly awkward. The Blood Crystal Spiritual Grass that he placed great importance on was extremely common here.


    "What kind of terrifying existence was this God corpse when they were alive!?" Nan Gongsheng took in a cold breath as he revealed a fearful expression. From the current situation, it seemed as if the fortune in the God corpse was even more precious than Xie Yang Palace.


    "I can''t tell either!" The Evil God Mental Thought Body sounded in Nan Gongsheng''s body. He was just a thought and didn''t have Ancient God Xie Yang''s complete memories.


    "Let''s leave this and go!" Zhao Feng said.


    Although there were many resources that tempted them on the way, they contained themselves and didn''t go pick them. How could they waste time on such "normal" items?


    "Watch out!" Zhao Yufei immediately said as she felt a disturbance of Yuan Qi.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    A roar sounded as a powerful aura spread toward the trio.


    A blood-colored figure charged out from the crossroads in front. The blood-colored figure seemed to have a human shape, but it didn''t have a face. Its body was formed from pure Heaven and Earth energy and laws.


    "This is a Yao Spirit formed from the powers in the God corpse!" Zhao Feng concluded after looking through the figure with his left eye.


    If the God corpse could spawn precious resources, it could also form Yao Spirits.


    The reason why Zhao Yufei was able to sense this Yao Spirit before Zhao Feng was because it was formed mainly of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and Divine Power.


    Whoosh!


    The Blood Crystal Yao Spirit was extremely agile, and it thrust out its palm.


    Bam!


    The laws and energy nearby were attracted and formed a blood-colored palm that slammed toward the trio with terrifying power.


    "What power!" Nan Gongsheng''s expression became grim as purple-and-blood-colored divine light formed a claw that slashed out.


    Peng! Boom! Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng retreated several steps, and his blood boiled as after the clash.


    "Attacks that exceed normal Sacred Kings!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    Danger existed alongside fortune. The God corpse was full of treasures; any one of them could make Sacred Kings go crazy over them. This also meant that the danger within the God corpse was something that normal Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords couldn''t handle. From the exchange between Nan Gongsheng and the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit just now, Zhao Feng could see how terrifying the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit was.


    The trio had to admit that they had underestimated the God corpse, both the fortune and the danger.


    Peng! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei immediately charged forward, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within the God corpse started to move as it turned into a purple storm that swept toward the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Fire brewed in Zhao Feng''s left eye and glittered with dark God Lightning Tribulation symbols.


    Whoosh!


    A ball of transparent purple-and-gold lightning-fire with the Destructive aura of God Lightning Tribulation exploded onto the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit.


    "Arghhhh!"


    The Blood Crystal Yao Spirit was instantly at a disadvantage against the trio. Amongst them, Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame did the most damage to the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit.


    The Blood Crystal Yao Spirit was formed from the God corpse and had powerful physical attacks that contained a wisp of profound Intent. However, its soul and mind were its weaknesses.


    Whoosh!


    The Blood Crystal Yao Spirit instantly started to run after seeing that it wasn''t Zhao Feng and company''s match.


    Zhao Feng and company chased after the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit, but they didn''t try to kill it. Instead, they just followed behind it. Zhao Feng thought that the place where the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit was formed would definitely be unique.


    The group soon arrived at a cave entrance.


    "Everyone, be careful!" Zhao Feng immediately warned.


    The walls nearby were faint red, different from the walls before.


    Whoosh!


    The Blood Crystal Yao Spirit leapt straight into the cave.


    Weng~~~


    Several terrifying screeches, powerful ancient bloodline auras, and undulations of Sacred Power spread from the entrance.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three Blood Crystal Yao Spirit jumped out from the cave. Two of them were human-shaped while the last was a larger one that was in the shape of a beast.


    "One each!" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    "Just what I was thinking!" Nan Gongsheng laughed coldly and revealed a bloodthirsty expression as a glow of purple-and-blood-colored divine light shone from him.


    From Nan Gongsheng''s point of view, this was a clash between Zhao Feng and him. If he finished off the monster first, that would prove that he had surpassed Zhao Feng and could enter the cave first.


    Zhao Yufei smiled in agreement.


    Boom!


    The trio took action at the same time. Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei charged toward the two human-shaped Blood Crystal Yao Spirits, so Zhao Feng obviously had to face the beast-shaped Blood Crystal Yao Spirit.


    ¡­


    All of the experts of both lord dynasties started to find treasures in the God corpse that could make one go insane. Battles of different tiers happened everywhere within the God corpse. Some of the Sacred Lords that hadn''t been planning to enter the God corpse started to slowly approach it.


    "It''s a God corpse! There should be no problem if I just cultivate around it!" An initial-stage Sacred Lord sat next to the God corpse and started to cultivate while absorbing large amounts of pure Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Some Quasi-Sacred Lords and initial-stage Sacred Lords started to head underground.


    "I came late!" An elder in gray revealed a faint smile as he approached the God corpse below.


    Black lines started to appear in the gray-robed elder''s dim eyes as he released a surge of eye-bloodline power that shook one''s heart.


    "If I find the opportunity to become a God here, she can live!"

 1077 Intense Clash

    Chapter 1077 - Intense Clash


    Within the God corpse, Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei each faced a Blood Crystal Yao Spirit.


    "Evil Demonic Claw!"


    Nan Gongsheng extended his right arm, and blood-colored flowers started to extend across it until they formed a demonic claw that ripped forward. Nan Gongsheng had stopped underestimating his opponent and was attacking at full power.


    Boom!


    The human-shaped Blood Crystal Yao Spirit''s attack was instantly shattered apart by Nan Gongsheng.


    "Human, you''re courting death!" The Blood Crystal Yao Spirit released a surge of powerful bloodline force as it sensed the wicked power within Nan Gongsheng''s body. The Blood Crystal Yao Spirit''s body turned bright red, as if it were on fire.


    "Nan Gongsheng, these Blood Crystal Yao Spirits contain a pure ancient bloodline aura!" the Evil God Mental Thought Body''s voice sounded in Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    Nan Gongsheng obviously knew what the Evil God Mental Thought Body meant; even if the ancient bloodline in the God corpse was extremely faint, it was still very useful to him. Even the Mental Thought Body couldn''t guess what kind of cultivation this God corpse had in life. In the past, just a normal drop of blood from Demigod Kun Yun made all the geniuses of the True Martial Sacred Land go crazy.


    On the other side, Zhao Yufei fought against another Blood Crystal Yao Spirit casually. The power of the Spiritual Race bloodline was able to last for a very long time, and her power was infinite in her current situation. However, Zhao Yufei lacked explosive power. While the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit was unable to harm Zhao Yufei, Zhao Yufei couldn''t finish off the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit either.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" A purple-and-gold fire sparkling with dark purple God Tribulation Lightning marks appeared from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Whoosh!


    A completely transparent purple-and-gold lightning-fire with the Destructive aura of God Tribulation Lightning exploded onto the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit.


    Zhao Feng didn''t dare to overestimate himself against a Blood Crystal Yao Spirit; he instantly unleashed his Soul eye-bloodline technique.


    Physical Force Lightning Domain!


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body released a dark yellow domain of lightning, and the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit was actually suppressed to a certain degree in Zhao Feng''s domain.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat held the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger in one paw and the Dark Golden Dragon Snake Whip in the other as it attracted the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit''s attention and unleashed attacks at it.


    Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch! Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!


    Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and unleashed some attacks as well. He had absolute control over his speed within a limited range. After breaking through to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, Zhao Feng''s Mystic Light Sacred Power was even stronger than before.


    "His strength¡­!" Nan Gongsheng''s expression darkened.


    Although the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit was being counter by Zhao Feng right now, weakening its Soul Intent, the strength that Zhao Feng was currently displaying had almost reached the level of a Sacred King.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll be going in now!" A bright purple divine light shot out from Nan Gongsheng''s body. It radiated a desolate power that shook Heaven and Earth, and it even caused the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby to tremble.


    "Divine Power?" Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed.


    At this moment, Nan Gongsheng was using a wisp of Divine Power that he couldn''t completely control just to win. After using this Divine Power, Nan Gongsheng wouldn''t even be scared of Sacred Kings. The Blood Crystal Yao Spirit had the battle-power of a Sacred King, but its cultivation wasn''t at that level yet.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Countless white bolts of lightning flashed within Zhao Feng''s left eye as a surge of Destructive Soul Intent appeared.


    Being the leader of the team, Zhao Feng obviously couldn''t be beaten by Nan Gongsheng or else the latter would only become more and more arrogant. Therefore, Zhao Feng condensed a certain amount of God Tribulation Lightning symbols to unleash a killing move.


    Voom!


    A ball of Lightning Tribulation glittered like fire and radiated a terrifying Soul aura as it landed on the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit''s soul.


    Whoosh!


    The Blood Crystal Yao Spirit''s Soul Intent was originally already very weak, so it wasn''t even able to last a single breath before being completely destroyed.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng put the body of the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit into the Misty Spatial World before entering the cave.


    "What!?" Nan Gongsheng''s expression changed dramatically as he killed the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit in front of him and took its body. However, he was a tiny bit slower than Zhao Feng.


    On the other side, Zhao Yufei used a bloodline secret technique to kill the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit as well.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The trio all rushed toward the cave, but since Zhao Feng was the fastest, he was the first to enter.


    The space within the cave wasn''t very big. The walls around the cave hadn''t completely crystallized yet; instead, there was a rubbery type of material that heaved up and down.


    At the center of the cave was a small pond that contained a thick, sticky, blood-colored liquid. The Blood Crystal Yao Spirit that was injured by Zhao Feng and company earlier was immersed in the blood-colored pond, as if it was healing its injuries. At the border of the pond was another Blood Crystal Yao Spirit, but it seemed like it hadn''t completely grown yet.


    "What a terrifying ancient bloodline aura!" Zhao Feng was stunned as he sensed the aura within the pond.


    Zhao Feng had taken the blood of the Sky Fire Lightning Ape in the Ancient Dream Realm, but the power and aura of that bloodline could be completely ignored in comparison to this pond.


    "Come!" Zhao Feng immediately approached the pond and put some of the liquid into the Misty Spatial World. At the same time, the little thieving cat jumped directly into the pond and started to drink.


    Although Zhao Feng was the first time arrive, he didn''t take any more after taking a certain amount.


    "Hmm? This is¡­?" Zhao Feng picked up a smooth blood-colored crystal pearl at the bottom of the pond before setting his gaze on the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit that hadn''t completely grown yet.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng put this immature Blood Crystal Yao Spirit into the Misty Spatial World as well.


    "How dare you take the blood of God!?" The injured Blood Crystal Yao Spirit in the pond roared as it attacked Zhao Feng.


    After taking a certain amount of resources as his spoils of war, Zhao Feng retreated to the back while Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei went forward and killed the injured Blood Crystal Yao Spirit. The remaining 50% of the blood-colored liquid within the pond was split evenly by them.


    "Could this be the blood of the God corpse?" Nan Gongsheng''s eyes sparkled.


    "Impossible! We wouldn''t even be able to approach the true blood of the God corpse!" Zhao Feng said. His estimation of this God corpse''s strength when they were alive kept on rising. The blood within the pond had the aura of many bloodlines.


    It could''ve been formed from just one drop of the God corpse''s blood. However, even if this pond did contain one drop of blood from the God corpse, countless years had passed, and the power had disappeared. For example, the Blood Crystal Yao Spirits were formed from this pond.


    Although this was the case, the liquid within the pond wouldn''t be too weak either. After all, it had managed to create such powerful monsters.


    "Not good, someone''s coming!" Zhao Feng caught sight of a figure through the wall with his left eye.


    "Blood of the God corpse?" Five non-human figures instantly rushed over.


    "Humans!" A laugh immediately sounded. Since everything in the God corpse restricted Divine Sense, Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords had to rely on their sight. Therefore, they didn''t know what was going on in the cave until they arrived.


    Boom!


    Several terrifying surges of laws and Intents blocked Zhao Feng and company, who had been preparing to escape.


    "Zhao Feng!" a non-human of the elephantmen race exclaimed in joy. The eyes of Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei became grim as they looked at the five before them.


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms!" Zhao Feng and company all knew this Sacred Lord from the elephantmen race.


    Apart from Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, who was at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, there was another non-human early-stage Sacred Lord in this team. Apart from them, there was a late-stage Sacred Lord and two Sacred Kings!


    "Lord Black Poison, Lord Purple Poison, these three are all prodigies of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. That female is Zhao Yufei, and that purple-haired male has the power of the Evil God!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms said respectfully to the two non-human Sacred Kings next to him.


    The Dark Moon Lord Dynasty knew about Zhao Yufei, and Nan Gongsheng had also made a name for himself after coming to the battlefield.


    "Kill them all!" Sacred King Black Poison, a member of the snakemen race, had a cold expression as he spoke in a nonchalant tone.


    "A group of just three Sacred Lords dares to enter the God corpse?" The late-stage Sacred Lord snickered. Of the three, Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng were both only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    "Do they not know how death is written? They dared to come in without a Sacred King leading them?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms roared with laughter. He could finally take his revenge.


    One had to know that, even if a group had Sacred Kings, they wouldn''t necessarily be completely safe in the God corpse. After all, all the Demigods of both lord dynasties had also entered the God corpse.


    "Stall the two Sacred Kings. I''ll finish off Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and the other two Sacred Lords!"


    Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei decided what to do while the five non-humans were mocking them.


    The strength of these two Sacred Kings was obviously much higher than the Blood Crystal Yao Spirits from before, but Nan Gongsheng had the power of the Evil God. It shouldn''t be too hard for him to just stall a Sacred King.


    Zhao Yufei had the Spiritual Race bloodline, which was ranked 19th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Its defense was extremely strong, and being in an environment like the God corpse was like adding wings to a tiger. It wouldn''t be much of a problem for her to stall a Sacred King as well.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and company took action first before the non-human group attacked.


    "What!?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had been preparing to torture the trio in front of him. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to just charge directly at him.


    Weng~~~


    A dark yellow domain of lightning radiated from Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body, covering Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and the other two Sacred Lords.


    After breaking through to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, normal Sacred Lords at the same rank would feel like they were carrying a mountain when facing Zhao Feng''s domain. Everything would be heavily suppressed. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and the other late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord felt a bit better though.


    "How is this possible!? Your strength¡­!?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was utterly stunned.


    He fought against Zhao Feng just a few years ago, and the latter only had a slight advantage back then. However, Zhao Feng was now extremely dominant even when facing three Sacred Lords at the same time.


    "Kill him!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms said to the late-stage Sacred Lord next to him.


    After consolidating his cultivation, he also had the battle-power of a late-stage Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord. He believed that two experts with the battle-power of a late-stage Sacred Lord should be enough to kill Zhao Feng. Furthermore, there were still two Sacred Kings with devastating power in their group as well!

 1078 Zhao Feng’s Plan

    Chapter 1078 - Zhao Feng''s Plan


    "Let''s team up and kill him!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms said to the late-stage Sacred Lord next to him.


    The other non-human early-stage Sacred Lord had at least 50% of his battle-power suppressed by Zhao Feng''s domain, so he was completely ignored by Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Sure!" The bulky red-furred non-human glared at Zhao Feng. Although the human in front of him was only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, a strong pressure was radiating from him.


    However, he didn''t need to worry if he teamed up with Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had the Eyes of Myriad Forms, and his true strength was probably even higher than normal late-stage Sacred Lords.


    "Myriad Forms ¨C World of Fire!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms focused his eyes, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby turned into a surge of fire. The temperature started to rise, and waves of fire surrounded Zhao Feng.


    The red-furred non-human roared and waved his fists. Scarlet-red fire covered him as he seemed to turn into a flaming beast.


    "Heaven Earth Fire Dragon!" A scarlet dragon of fire wrapped around the non-human Sacred Lord as he charged toward Zhao Feng.


    The flaming space was unable to do any damage to the walls.


    "I can also absorb the element of Fire!" Zhao Feng laughed coldly as he activated his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    A scorching glass-like flame that gave off a terrifying heat was released from Zhao Feng''s body. At the same time, the nearby fire quickly merged into Zhao Feng''s body.


    Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!


    Zhao Feng used the Fire of Wind Lightning and his Sacred Lightning Body together and clashed against the red-furred non-human Sacred Lord.


    The red-furred non-human Sacred Lord only cultivated Fire-elemental techniques, but Zhao Feng had a Fire-elemental bloodline. On top of that, Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique didn''t just contain the element of Fire. Therefore, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' World of Fire was actually more helpful to Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    The red-furred non-human Sacred Lord was instantly pushed back by Zhao Feng''s explosive power and landed against the wall behind him. A scarlet glass-like flame burned across his body and started to erode him.


    "How is this possible? This human''s strength¡­!" The red-furred non-human Sacred Lord was completely stunned. He couldn''t believe that he was defeated by an early-stage Sacred Lord like this.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several thousand golden sword-beams stabbed toward Zhao Feng right as the red-furred non-human Sacred Lord was sent flying.


    "Swords of Piercing Metal!"


    The spinning rainbow-colored light within Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' left eye started to slow down.


    On the other side, the early-stage Sacred Lord unleashed an attack toward Zhao Feng at the same time.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat listened to Zhao Feng''s orders and waved the Dark Golden Dragon Snake Whip at the early-stage Sacred Lord non-human.


    "Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, you''re still trying to use these little tricks against me?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but snicker.


    Shu~~~~


    The Earth of Wind Lightning combined with Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body and formed a dark yellow barrier of lightning.


    Whoosh!


    The several thousand Swords of Piercing Metal were stopped by Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Protection after piercing through the barrier by half an inch.


    Crack!


    The barrier around Zhao Feng released a brilliant wave of lightning that instantly shattered the countless swords into pieces. At the same time, part of the Earth of Wind Lightning''s power swept toward Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    Weng~~


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms focused his eyes, and a shield of Wind Lightning appeared and blocked the force from Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Protection.


    "How can your battle-power be so strong even after you raised your cultivation so quickly?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms locked onto Zhao Feng with his eyes.


    Zhao Feng was only a Quasi-Sacred Lord when they fought the first time. Several years later, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' cultivation hadn''t increased, but Zhao Feng had reached the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms originally thought that Zhao Feng had forcefully increased his cultivation to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm in order to come here, but that his actual strength hadn''t increased that much. However, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was actually slightly scared of the current power that Zhao Feng was displaying.


    "Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Zhao Feng laughed coldly as he released the projection of his Little World of Wind Lightning toward Sacred Lord Myriad Forms alongside his Physical Force Lightning Domain.


    Zhao Feng''s cultivation did increase rapidly, but even he didn''t know how many precious substandard God Crystals he used in order to do so.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s cultivation was on par with Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. In terms of physical attacks, Zhao Feng didn''t need to be scared of Sacred Lord Myriad Forms at all, and in terms of the soul, Zhao Feng completely crushed Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Lord Black Poison, Lord Purple Poison!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms prepared to ask the two Sacred Kings for help after seeing how strong Zhao Feng was.


    However, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms paused after seeing the situation next to him. The two Sacred Kings from the snakemen race were only on par with Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng. As for the early-stage Sacred Lord, he was completely suppressed by the little thieving cat.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng circulated the power of his left eye and used an eye-bloodline technique while Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was distracted.


    Voom!


    A purple-and-gold lightning-fire instantly exploded in Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' face. With Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent being at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, his regular Wind Lightning Eye Flame was enough to cause trouble for Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World!" Zhao Feng used a technique from the Dao of Illusions. In an instant, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes were completely attracted to Zhao Feng''s left eye, and he fell into an endless maze.


    "The Eyes of Myriad Forms shall be mine!" Zhao Feng was overjoyed. At this moment, he could completely suppress Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and kill him with his Soul eye-bloodline techniques. However, if he did that, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes would be destroyed, and the Eyes of Myriad Forms would completely disappear.


    Ever since he had completed the second level of the Soul Splitting Technique, Zhao Feng had a thought, and that was to merge a pair of eyes from one of Eight Great God Eyes'' descendants into his second clone.


    The clones of a Sacred Lord usually had a certain percentage of their battle-power directly after being created, but Zhao Feng''s soul clone needed time to become stronger. However, if Zhao Feng merged the eyes from one of the Eight Great God Eyes'' descendants into his clone, it would increase the rate of its growth.


    Zhao Feng estimated that, if Zhao Wang didn''t have the Eye of Death, his cultivation speed would be at least 60% slower. Therefore, Zhao Feng wanted to prepare for his second clone ahead of time and obtain another eye from a descendant of the Eight Great God Eyes in order to increase the rate of the next clone''s growth.


    In addition, the experience and comprehensions that this clone obtained would also be transferred into his own consciousness. If Zhao Feng''s second clone had the Eyes of Myriad Forms, then Zhao Feng wouldn''t need to worry about comprehending the five elements at all, which would be of great help for Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    However, at this moment, the red-furred non-human Sacred Lord charged at Zhao Feng.


    "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" The red-furred non-human Sacred Lord released a surge of bright Mystic Light Sacred Power that formed a large flaming dragon and crushed toward Zhao Feng.


    Roar~~~


    The fire dragon instantly spat out a terrifying wave of fire that turned the walls nearby red and unleashed a heatwave.


    "What is this power of Fire!?" Zhao Feng was surprised. As expected, one couldn''t underestimate any Sacred Lord at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened as he circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power and thrust out a giant palm of golden-scarlet lightning.


    This non-human Sacred Lord had interrupted Zhao Feng right at the critical moment, so Zhao Feng wouldn''t hold back.


    Boom!


    The two devastating elements of Fire clashed together.


    Boom!


    The golden-scarlet palm that Zhao Feng thrust out instantly released a brilliant bolt of scarlet-golden lightning that shattered the fire dragon. After destroying the fire dragon, the remaining power of the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm crushed over toward the non-human Sacred Lord.


    Boom!


    This non-human Sacred Lord was sent crashing into the wall, and several cracks appeared in his Sacred Body. A scorching fire then started to burn across his injuries.


    Zhao Feng looked at Sacred Lord Myriad Forms once more after finishing off that Sacred Lord. It was as this moment that a weird light flashed in Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' Eyes of Myriad Forms, and he managed to struggle out from the Forbidden Illusion Lost World. Cold sweat covered his body as he looked at Zhao Feng in fear.


    Weng~ Weng! Weng!


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms quickly retreated as he summoned Wind Lightning.


    He knew that he was trapped by Zhao Feng''s illusion technique just now. If it wasn''t for the fact that he had the Eyes of Myriad Forms, which gave him stronger resistance against soul attacks, he might have never woken up. He never expected Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent to have increased so quickly on top of his cultivation increase.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms suddenly thought of something; with Zhao Feng''s monstrous Soul Intent, Zhao Feng didn''t need to use so much effort just to deal with him. Zhao Feng probably wanted something from him.


    "Lord Black Poison and Lord Purple Poison, let''s retreat!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms immediately messaged the two Sacred Kings. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms knew that he wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match.


    "What!? You three¡­!?" Sacred King Black Poison''s eyes were ugly. He originally thought that Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei were the strongest of the trio. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and the other two Sacred Lords should have been able to easily finish off Zhao Feng, but in just a short while, the early-stage Sacred Lord was defeated by a little cat while the late-stage Sacred Lord was heavily injured by Zhao Feng, not to mention Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Purple Poison, let''s go!" Sacred King Black Poison''s eyeballs spun as he messaged Sacred King Purple Poison. From the current situation, it looked like Zhao Feng wasn''t any weaker than Nan Gongsheng or Zhao Yufei. Once Sacred Lord Myriad Forms lost, the two of them would have the face the attacks of all three humans.


    "Dammit, these three humans!" A deadly expression appeared on Sacred King Purple Poison''s face. The victory that he thought he could easily obtain had turned into such a hard-fought battle, and at the very end, they had to retreat.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two Sacred Kings of the snakemen race immediately used an escaping technique and left with Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Chase after them!" Zhao Feng immediately roared. He almost managed to obtain the Eyes of Myriad Forms just now; if he lost this chance, who knew if he would even be able to see Sacred Lord Myriad Forms again?


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei immediately chased after them, and the little thieving cat''s Dark Golden Dragon Snake Whip turned into a rope that wrapped itself around the two beaten Sacred Lords and pulled them into the Misty Spatial World.


    "Hmph, no one can catch up to me!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms revealed a smile. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms didn''t have much confidence in escaping from Zhao Feng if he was alone, but it was different since he was retreating with two Sacred Kings.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms focused his eyes, and a rainbow-colored light of Myriad Forms Sacred Power appeared behind them as a storm of ice appeared out of nowhere.


    "Ice Imperial Spear!"


    A layer of ice-blue liquid also appeared in space and formed a mist that covered Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng and company were easily able to pass through the storm of ice without any resistance.

 1079 Working Together

    Chapter 1079 - Working Together


    "Ice Imperial Spear!"


    A layer of ice-blue liquid also appeared in space and formed a mist that covered Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei.


    The effect of the ice storm was completely blocked, and they were able to chase after the three nonhumans without any resistance.


    "Dammit, this brat¡­!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyebrows furrowed together. He had forgotten the fact that Zhao Feng also specialized in the laws of Water.


    However, even if that was the case, it was still difficult for Zhao Feng and company to catch up to Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and the two Sacred Kings.


    "Hmph, they dare to chase after us?" Sacred King Black Poison snickered coldly as he saw Zhao Feng and company chasing after them. He and Sacred King Purple Poison were only scared that Zhao Feng and company would attack them after Sacred Lord Myriad Forms lost. However, that wasn''t an issue since Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was right by them now.


    "Extreme Purple Poison Blade!" Sacred King Purple Poison suddenly turned around and slashed out with a short purple blade, unleashing an arc of glittering purple light. When one looked at it, they could feel deadly poison radiating from it.


    Weng~~ Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei had experience working together, and they instantly unleashed their Little World projections. Three monstrous Little World projections twisted together and blocked the path in front of them.


    The purple-colored beam of light was blocked by the Little Worlds, slowly depleting its Mystic Light Sacred Power. However, this also reduced Zhao Feng and company''s speed.


    "Brother Feng, although we have the advantage in a head-on fight, the difficulty of chasing after them and killing them has been doubled!" Zhao Yufei messaged as this moment.


    "Zhao Feng, do we really need to chase after them?" Nan Gongsheng asked. There were usually no occurrences of death in a fight between experts of the same cultivation. Defeating and killing were completely different concepts.


    Nan Gongsheng thought that they would definitely be unable to kill either of the Sacred Kings. Furthermore, they were working together with Sacred Lord Myriad Forms now.


    "Help me capture Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. I can give you two first pick of resources later!" Zhao Feng told them his target.


    Nan Gongsheng''s eyes focused. What Zhao Feng said was very tempting; Nan Gongsheng had worked together with Zhao Feng many times, and Zhao Feng was always the one to find fortune and resources first every time. Zhao Feng obtained the most every time, partly because of his eye-bloodline and partly because of the little thieving cat.


    However, Zhao Feng said that he wanted to capture Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. Capturing someone alive was even harder than killing them.


    Zhao Yufei nodded her head after thinking. From the fact that Zhao Feng said he wanted Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, she knew that Zhao Feng was interested in the Eyes of Myriad Forms. If that was the case, then Zhao Yufei would try to help Zhao Feng to the best of her ability.


    The trio came to an agreement and decided to pursue the nonhumans as quickly as possible. After all, the God corpse was filled with danger; if it wasn''t for the Eyes of Myriad Forms, Zhao Feng wouldn''t have bothered to chase after them.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng immediately took out the Sky Locking Bow and shot out a scarlet arrow of lightning with a Whoosh! sound.


    Nan Gongsheng circulated his purple-and-blood-colored Sacred light, and several purple-red figures charged forward.


    Zhao Yufei controlled the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi so that it slowed down the three nonhumans.


    "Humans, you don''t know what''s good for you. You will never catch up to us! This will only waste everyone''s time!" Sacred King Black Poison sent out a screen of black water that weakened the attacks of Zhao Feng and company. Sacred King Purple Poison then blocked the remaining attacks.


    Sacred King Black Poison was extremely angry. He never would have thought that he''d be in such a situation just after entering the God corpse. A group of humans were chasing after them, and they didn''t even have a Sacred King with them. This was a humiliation he had never faced before!


    "Dammit, these humans¡­!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms cursed. There was countless fortune in the God corpse; why were Zhao Feng and company so bent on chasing after them?


    "Hmph, it will be the time of their death if we meet any other nonhumans!" Sacred King Purple Poison snickered and said. However, the reverse was true if they met a human group.


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed as he chased from behind. If the two Sacred Kings and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms wanted to run, he could do nothing. Zhao Feng thought about using the substandard God Slaying Arrows, but he only had four of them, so he was hesitating.


    Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng released a purple-and-blood-colored light that formed into a demonic claw with a flower on it. It contained a wisp of Divine Power that caused the claw to radiate a terrifying force.


    The two Sacred Kings immediately circulated their Mystic Light Sacred Power when they saw it, blocking Nan Gongsheng''s attacks.


    Boom!


    A surge of Sacred Power spread.


    Crack!


    One of the white walls instantly shattered.


    Hu~~


    A terrifying aura that shook Heaven and Earth was unleashed, causing the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby to tremble.


    "This is¡­?" Zhao Feng stopped and looked toward the broken crystal wall.


    "It broke apart?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and company also stopped. They all knew that the walls within the God corpse were indestructible. It was extremely difficult for even Demigods to leave a mark on it, but the shockwaves of their fight managed to shatter this wall? This was just too weird.


    Weng~~


    A faint golden layer spread across Zhao Feng''s left eye, and he saw everything within the shattered wall.


    "That is¡­!?" Zhao Feng''s expression turned into disbelief. There was a relatively large dimension within the shattered wall. Several dozen white crystal pillars were placed within the dimension, and Zhao Feng managed to see a white light in the very center. It reflected endless divine light in every direction.


    The moment Zhao Feng and company appeared, the crystal pillars released a powerful pressure, and surges of strong Intent started to awaken.


    Boom!


    One of the crystal pillars turned into a crystal giant that charged straight out.


    Peng! Boom!


    Countless crystal pillars started to awaken one after another.


    "They''re different from the Blood Crystal Yao Spirits from before. The bloodline aura from these crystal giants is weak, but they contain more Divine Power!" Zhao Feng concluded after inspecting these crystal giants.


    "They seem to be even stronger than the Blood Crystal Yao Spirits from before!"


    The Blood Crystal Yao Spirits from before hadn''t reached the level of Sacred Kings yet; only their offense had reached the level of Sacred Kings. However, these crystal giants in front of them had truly reached the Sacred King rank.


    "Nan Gongsheng, they contain the aura of Divine Power!" the Evil God Mental Thought Body''s voice sounded within Nan Gongsheng''s body, and Nan Gongsheng revealed a greedy and frenzied expression. He could obviously sense the aura of Divine Power as well.


    This Divine Power was extremely forceful, and it seemed to be even stronger than the power of the Evil God. If he was able to obtain this Divine Power, it might be able to compliment the power of the Evil God within his body.


    "Humans, let''s team up for now and work together!" Being a Sacred King, Sacred King Black Poison could obviously sense the aura of Divine Power. If he was able to obtain that ball of Divine Power, becoming a God wouldn''t be a problem!


    "This Divine Power will quickly attract many more groups!" Sacred King Purple Poison gave an evil smile.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was slightly hesitant. From the moment Zhao Feng and company started chasing after them, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms knew that he was the target, and what Zhao Feng most likely wanted from him was the Eyes of Myriad Forms!


    "Sacred Kings, please watch out for Zhao Feng!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms obviously couldn''t just leave by himself if both Sacred Kings wanted to team up with Zhao Feng and company.


    "Sure. What everyone gets depends on their own skill!" Zhao Feng thought for a while before saying. Of course, Zhao Feng consulted Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng before making this decision. The appearance of this Divine Power would definitely attract more groups; it was best for them to try to obtain as much as possible before anyone else arrived. Sacred King Black Poison and company all knew this as well. Once a Demigod arrived, they might not even get a share at all.


    "It''s better this way!" Sacred King Black Poison revealed a wicked smile. It didn''t matter even if he had to use all his hidden cards since this was actual Divine Power.


    "Let''s go together!" Zhao Feng immediately roared.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The group of six immediately charged through the shattered entrance. Sacred King Black Poison released a black Little World that blocked off the entrance so that the aura of Divine Power would become weaker, giving them more time.


    Although the two groups were working together, they couldn''t completely trust one another.


    Peng! Bam! Boom!


    Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and Nan Gongsheng teamed up and fought two crystal giants. The trio instantly released an explosive surge of battle-power that attacked one crystal giant at the same time. This was the fastest way to destroy these crystal giants.


    Zhao Feng''s and Zhao Yufei''s defense was extremely strong, and Nan Gongsheng had a substandard God item. The trio took the attacks of the other crystal giant head-on for a brief moment while they attacked the other with full power.


    Blood Devil Claw!


    Purple Jade Charge!


    Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!


    Zhao Feng and company unleashed their ultimate techniques against one of the crystal giants. A bombardment of Sacred Power landed on the crystal giant.


    "Shameless humans!" The crystal giant was definitely unable to withstand Zhao Feng and company''s attacks, so it was about to turn around and retreat.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World!" Zhao Feng suddenly cast an illusion technique while the crystal giant was about to run away, distracting it.


    At the same time, Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng circulated their Mystic Light Sacred Power to unleash critical strikes!


    Hand of the Demonic Sky!


    Purple Saint Flowing Light Strike!


    Boom!


    The crystal giant completely shattered and exploded under the trio''s perfect teamwork.


    At the same time, many white crystals fell from the crystal giant''s body.


    "Those are substandard God Crystals!" Zhao Feng and company exclaimed.


    A total of three substandard God Crystals fell from the crystal giant, so Zhao Feng and company each took one.


    On the other side, Sacred King Black Poison''s group also managed to successfully kill a crystal giant and obtain some substandard God Crystals from it.


    "The grade of these substandard God crystals is different!" Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled. As he had used quite a few substandard God Crystals before to cultivate, he could tell the difference with just one glance.


    The energy contained within these substandard God Crystals was purer, and it had a faint wisp of a real God''s aura.


    "Finish it off as quickly as possible! Many more crystal giants are approaching!" Nan Gongsheng immediately said.


    They could obtain substandard God Crystals just by killing a crystal giant, but there was more than a dozen in this cave, and they were slowly awakening. The two groups both realized this problem. Right now, they were only facing two or three crystal giants at once, but if all the crystal giants woke up and attacked together, the only thing they could do was retreat.


    Peng! Peng! Boom!


    Everyone started to attack the crystal giants with even more power. Zhao Feng even needed to use some powerful offensive eye-bloodline techniques.


    Although they were doing their best to attack the crystal giants, all their attention was placed on the ball of divine light at the top of the cave!

 1080 Success

    Chapter 1080 - Success


    "Anyone that comes here shall die!" Another crystal giant woke up. Zhao Feng''s group and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' group felt a strong pressure.


    "Brother Feng, things will be bad if this continues!" Zhao Yufei''s expression became grim. She was surrounded in a layer of dazzling purple light as she unleashed waves of purple light that thudded against the crystal giants with every action.


    Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei had both reached the level of a Sacred King in terms of battle-power, and they could even stall non-human Sacred Kings like Black Poison and Purple Poison. In order to do that though, they would have to use their full; Nan Gongsheng had to use the power of the Evil God while Zhao Yufei had to use her Spiritual Race bloodline.


    However, even then, they didn''t have an advantage against those two Sacred Kings. It was Zhao Feng defeating the other Sacred Lords that turned the tide.


    At this point in time, it was far more difficult to slay these crystal giants that had the battle-power of a Sacred King. With the addition of more crystal giants, even Zhao Feng felt a sense of danger.


    On the other hand, Nan Gongsheng was becoming fiercer by the second, but Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei knew that Nan Gongsheng had used too much power of the Evil God. Greed had tainted his eyes, but in reality, Nan Gongsheng was already exhausted.


    "I''ll use my Soul eye-bloodline techniques to stall them. Attack their hearts!" Zhao Feng immediately said.


    Zhao Feng''s physical attacks weren''t as strong as Zhao Yufei''s or Nan Gongsheng''s. It was best to let them be the main offensive force while he used his Soul eye-bloodline techniques to disturb the crystal giants and other techniques to block the attacks of the other two crystal giants.


    Weakening a Sacred King and taking their attacks head-on was a tough task for even Zhao Feng.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World!"


    Limitless soul power from Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body entered his left eye as it turned into a infinite purple-and-gold maze. This maze gave off an alluring sensation that disturbed the crystal giants'' minds.


    "Spiritual Light Sacred Strike!" Purple light glittered around Zhao Yufei as a large source of Mystic Light Sacred Power condensed in front of her and landed on one of the crystal giant''s chest.


    "Evil Sky Shattering Demonic Claw!" Nan Gongsheng''s eyes flashed with purple-and-blood-colored lights as a terrifying and wicked purple-and-blood-colored Sacred Power formed into a giant evil claw that slashed toward the crystal giant''s chest.


    This crystal giant managed to regain its consciousness after being attacked, and it roared out loud as it waved its arms around. It was about to go on the offensive.


    "Soul Chaos!" Zhao Feng focused his left eye once more and released a surge of mental energy that surrounded the crystal giant''s consciousness and distracted it. At this moment, the crystal giant''s attack suddenly descended. Zhao Feng used his Physical Force Lightning Domain and the Little World of Wind Lightning to block it and reduce the damage.


    Nan Gongsheng took out his Golden Pond Shield and blocked the other monstrous attack.


    "Continue the attacks!" Zhao Feng said. The trio knew what they had to do, and they attacked the crystal giant''s weaknesses, severely injuring it.


    Every time this crystal giant was about to attack, Zhao Feng would use a Soul eye-bloodline technique to distract it.


    "It''s about to die!" Nan Gongsheng roared as he used another wisp of Divine Power.


    On the other side, Sacred King Black Poison''s group was also facing a lot of pressure as they fought three crystal giants simultaneously.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms hid behind the two Sacred Kings and used his Eyes of Myriad Forms to continuously distract the crystal giants in support of the two Sacred Kings. The Eyes of Myriad Forms specialized in every element, and its power was very pure. He could even supply it directly to the two Sacred Kings.


    "These crystal giants are way too strong!" Sacred King Purple Poison felt troubled, but it wasn''t the critical moment yet. He couldn''t use his hidden cards so easily; they still had to be on guard against Zhao Feng and company.


    "They have someone that specializes in the Dao of the Soul in their group, so they have it easier than us!" Sacred King Black Poison glared at Zhao Feng with an ugly expression. These crystal giants had great power and defense, but their Soul Intent was relatively weak.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng''s left eye glittered with purple fire as a terrifying undulation of eye-bloodline power appeared.


    Voom!


    The next instant, the severely injured crystal giant''s head exploded before it could escape, and the purple-golden lightning-fire burned across its body. This crystal giant then faced attacks from Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei head-on.


    Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng grabbed the crystal giant''s heart and took out the substandard God Crystals.


    "That''s the second!" Zhao Feng felt slightly tired. He had been using a lot of Sacred Power and Eye Intent since the battle started.


    Nan Gongsheng''s current situation wasn''t much different from Zhao Feng''s. Although he had broken through to the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, he hadn''t consolidated his cultivation, so his offensive power wasn''t as strong as it could''ve been.


    On the other hand, while Zhao Yufei was only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, her aura was extremely steady, and she maintained a stream of rhythmic attacks.


    "There''s not much time left! Quickly finish off these crystal giants!" Nan Gongsheng roared with a bloodthirsty and frenzied expression.


    "Humans, how about all of us use some of our hidden cards to get rid of this trouble!?" Sacred King Black Poison suddenly said from the other side.


    The two groups were on guard against one another, and this dramatically reduced the effort they were putting in. All six of them had used up a lot of energy and had injuries to different degrees. If this dragged on, it would only hurt everyone here and attract other groups.


    Just as Zhao Feng was thinking, auras appeared from outside the wall.


    "Another group is here!" Nan Gongsheng''s heart tightened.


    Are they human or Yao!? Sacred King Black Poison''s heart shook. If it was only the six of them, the treasures they obtained would be split evenly, but now there was another group approaching. If they were going to lose out on treasure, Sacred King Black Poison hoped that they were at least allies.


    "It''s a group of non-humans!" Zhao Feng''s left eye saw through the walls, and he noticed non-human experts speeding over. If he was correct, one of them was the Grand Elder of Demonic Sky Palace ¨C Demigod Destruction!


    One of the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes!


    Zhao Feng''s pupil contracted as he felt a sense of critical danger. No one else knew this yet; they were still waiting for the group to arrive. However, Zhao Feng got ready to tell this news to Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A strong surge of consciousness appeared from the ball of light at the very top of the cave and released a monstrous aura that could suppress everything in the world. All the crystal giants in the cave started to tremble and stopped attacking.


    "What''s going on?" Sacred King Black Poison was stunned as he looked at the ball of divine light.


    "How is this possible? Could it be¡­!?" Zhao Feng was shocked as he stared at the ball of divine light with his left eye, and he immediately took in a cold breath.


    That ball of light actually has its own consciousness! Could it have turned into a Yao Spirit just like the crystal giants!? Zhao Feng was in utter disbelief.


    His left eye could see things that others couldn''t. If it was just Divine Power, they had a chance to obtain it, but if this Divine Power had its own consciousness, it was now a Yao Spirit. How terrifying would this Yao Spirit be if it was able to use Divine Power!?


    Demigod Destruction¡­ and a Yao Spirit with Divine Power! At this moment, only Zhao Feng could sense these two critical dangers, but he still acted in a nonchalant manner on the surface.


    "Little thieving cat!" Zhao Feng circulated his thoughts and communicated with the little thieving cat hiding in the darkness.


    On the other side, Sacred King Black Poison, Sacred King Purple Poison, and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms were attracted by the disturbance coming from the Divine Power as well. After all, they teamed up in the first place for this Divine Power.


    A silver streak of light suddenly flashed behind Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat gripped a normal spade and smacked it onto Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' head. The little thieving cat could transfer its stunning paw-strike through the spade and combine it with some of the spade''s own power. In an instant, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' head shook.


    Ding!


    The little thieving cat took off the necklace around its neck, which transformed into the image of a dark golden dragon that quickly wrapped around Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. The Dark Golden Dragon Snake Whip that wrapped around Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had the ability to numb and absorb Mystic Light Sacred Power, which made Sacred Lord Myriad Forms feel helpless when trying to fight back.


    Miao miao!


    After doing all of this, the little thieving cat opened its mouth, and a small dot of green light appeared. This small dot of green light was the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly!


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly immediately flapped its wings and released a whirlwind of half-transparent pollen that blew onto Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and spread out in every direction.


    The little thieving cat''s actions were extremely quick; it did all of this within an instant. The expressions of Sacred King Black Poison and Sacred King Purple Poison changed dramatically; they had been attracted by the weird disturbance coming from the ball of Divine Power.


    Hu~~


    Right as the two Sacred Kings prepared to attack, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly opened its mouth and spat out a five-colored silk that filled the air. The combination of the Cloud Silkworm Saint Silk and the Dream Pollen heavily distracted the two Sacred Kings.


    Whoosh!


    The next instant, the little thieving cat dragged the helpless Sacred Lord Myriad Forms away and turned into a flash of dark silver that disappeared.


    "Humans, what have you done?" Sacred King Black Poison was stunned. He could tell that Zhao Feng had planned all of this from the beginning based on the cat''s speed.


    The little thieving cat did everything perfectly. The incoming arrival of another group and the disturbance of Divine Power had distracted them, and they let their guard down.


    "Zhao Feng, what are you doing?" Nan Gongsheng paused. It was obvious that Zhao Feng didn''t tell them about his plan either.


    "The newcomer is Demigod Destruction. We need to leave!" Zhao Feng messaged them both in warning before waving his left hand to use the Misty Spatial World.


    "What!?" The expressions of Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei changed dramatically. They didn''t doubt what Zhao Feng said. If the group that was coming really was led by a Demigod of the non-humans, they might really die here.


    Boom!


    The wall shattered, and several non-human figures charged in. The leader had one horn and black scaly armor. This was Demigod Destruction.


    "Human, get back here!" Demigod Destruction''s eyes released a brilliant beam of gold as he looked at Zhao Feng and company, but it was too late. The figures of Zhao Feng and company had already disappeared with a flash of silver.


    Demigod Destruction''s attack missed and landed on the crystal giant behind them.


    "Senior Destruction!" Sacred King Black Poison and Sacred King Purple Poison had respectful expressions. They were joyful that the newcomers were non-humans, but they didn''t expect there to be a Demigod in this team!


    However, Zhao Feng and company left immediately after capturing Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, as if they knew that the newcomers would be Demigod Destruction''s team, but how was that possible? The Divine Sense of a Sacred Lord couldn''t pass through these walls unless one reached the level of a Demigod, but even then, it would be extremely weak. For example, Demigod Destruction had sensed Zhao Feng beforehand and immediately unleashed an attack, but only after getting pretty close.


    Sacred King Black Poison and Sacred King Purple Poison were about to tell them the situation, but with a Boom!, the cave crumbled as a giant heavy figure descended before them.

 1081 Blood God Crystal

    Chapter 1081 - Blood God Crystal


    The top of the cave instantly shattered.


    Boom!


    A heavy and enormous figure descended before the group of people. At the very middle of the figure was a ball of sparkling divine light, and it radiated a terrifying aura that made one''s heart jump.


    The dust finally settled, and a crystalline monster appeared before Demigod Destruction, Sacred King Black Poison, and Sacred King Purple Poison. This crystal monster had fine facial features, and countless white lines ran through its body like veins. At the very center of these lines was gold-and-white divine light.


    "You entered Master''s body to try to steal Master''s power?" The crystal giant containing the ball of divine light spoke in a cold tone like it was a king looking down at its subjects as it looked at the non-humans in front of it.


    Sacred King Black Poison, Sacred King Purple Poison, and the other Sacred Lords in Demigod Destruction''s group started to tremble and sweat coldly when facing the monstrous pressure of the crystal giant. The instinctive suppression made them unable to have any thoughts about fighting back.


    "The Divine Power has turned into a Yao Spirit! Could it have the power of a True God!?" Sacred King Black Poison was stunned. At the beginning, Zhao Feng''s group and theirs had teamed up and thought about stealing this ball of Divine Power, but this Divine Power actually had its own consciousness ¨C it was a Yao Spirit!


    "Hmph, your master died long ago. Whoever manages to obtain what he left behind gets to keep it!" Demigod Destruction squinted his eyes as he inspected the crystal giant in front of him. The source of this crystal giant''s power was the white Divine Power, but that didn''t mean the crystal giant could unleash its true power. If it could, that would mean that its cultivation had reached the Heavenly Divine Realm, and it would''ve been repelled by this world and summoned by the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Therefore, Demigod Destruction was certain that the Yao Spirit in front of him wasn''t as terrifying as they thought.


    Sacred King Black Poison looked at Demigod Destruction, and his heart shook. Demonic Sky Palace was originally just a normal three-star power, but Sacred King Destruction managed to become a Demigod not long ago, and Demonic Sky Palace became a peak three-star force.


    Although Demigod Destruction only became a Demigod recently, he had the Eyes of Destruction. This meant that even some Demigods in the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty that had lived for several dozen millennia weren''t his match. Therefore, Demigod Destruction might very likely lead Demonic Sky Palace to become another four-star power in the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty.


    "You want to obtain Master''s power with just your strength?" The Divine Power crystal giant couldn''t help but laugh.


    Weng~~


    The ball of divine light in the Divine Power crystal giant''s heart flashed and released a divine aura. The white lines around the Divine Power crystal giant''s body also started to glow brighter.


    "Only those that remain behind will get a share!" Demigod Destruction''s eyes were as bright as the sun as they radiated the laws of Destruction that could destroy Heaven and Earth. Demigod Destruction couldn''t force the other Sacred Lords to stay behind, but if he had their help, it would reduce a lot of pressure.


    "Senior Destruction, we''ll help you!" Sacred Kings Black Poison and Purple Poison decided to remain behind, while the two early-stage Sacred Lords in Demigod Destruction''s group decided to leave. Early-stage Sacred Lords didn''t dare to participate in a fight that had reached the level of Gods.


    "Giant God Seal!" The Divine Power crystal giant stepped forward and punched out, forming a golden seal that crushed over toward Demigod Destruction and company.


    "Light of Destruction!" Demigod Destruction''s eyes suddenly changed and released a wave of golden light.


    ¡­


    The figures of Zhao Feng and company slowly appeared at the border of the God corpse with a flash of silver. This was the entrance that Zhao Feng and company first entered through; before they took any action, Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World to leave a mark behind.


    "So close! That was Demigod Destruction!" Nan Gongsheng said through gritted teeth.


    "Even if Demigod Destruction didn''t come, we would have left anyway. That ball of Divine Power already has its own consciousness!" Zhao Feng said.


    "What? It has its own consciousness!?" Nan Gongsheng was half in doubt.


    "We should recover and consolidate our power here!" Zhao Feng suggested. Everyone had used up a lot of energy a moment ago, and they were all injured to different degrees. Furthermore, Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei had all forcefully increased their cultivation to come here, so their foundations weren''t as solid as they could be. Amongst them, Nan Gongsheng''s foundation was the weakest.


    "That''d be great!" Zhao Yufei replied with a smile. The God corpse was the perfect place for her to cultivate since she had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race.


    Whoosh!


    A substandard God Crystal appeared in Zhao Yufei''s hand. This was the one she obtained from killing the crystal giant, so its grade was very high.


    "Zhao Feng, why did you capture Sacred Lord Myriad Forms?" Nan Gongsheng asked. They were in a lot of danger a moment ago, but Zhao Feng still wanted to capture Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. One could see how determined Zhao Feng was.


    "I''m interested in the Eyes of Myriad Forms!" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile. In the fight earlier, Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei each obtained a few substandard God Crystals, but that wasn''t much in comparison to him capturing Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    Zhao Feng then entered the Misty Spatial World.


    "Zhao Feng, what do you want?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' muffled voice sounded. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had been bound up by the little thieving cat. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly floated in the air above Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and released a powerful bloodline pressure and flapped its wings from time to time, unleashing a layer of Dream Pollen that made Sacred Lord Myriad Forms unable to resist. The little thieving cat would also hit Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' head from time to time with the spade.


    "Gaze of the God Eye!" A surge of monstrous eye power appeared from Zhao Feng''s left eye. In just an instant, his left eye turned into a bottomless purple whirlpool that reached an everlasting abyss. A forbidden power that focused on the soul covered Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' body.


    "This move again¡­!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' soul became cold and started to leave his body.


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and a large amount of Dream Pollen had eroded Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. This made his soul extremely weak and unable to resist.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' soul was sucked into the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "I''ll first enslave him, then steal his Eyes of Myriad Forms after leaving the God corpse!" Zhao Feng thought for a while before murmuring.


    At this time, Zhao Feng couldn''t split his soul or else his Soul Intent would become weaker, and he would no longer be able to stay here. Besides, after enslaving Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms could help Zhao Feng, and he knew how strong the Eyes of Myriad Forms were very clearly.


    After making this decision, Zhao Feng entered the dimension of his left eye and slowly imprinted the Dark Heart Seal onto Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' soul.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng returned Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' soul back to his body.


    "Master, do you have any orders?" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully.


    "Recover your strength first and help me when needed!"


    Zhao Feng started to cultivate and consolidate his cultivation after resolving the issue of Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Let''s see how effective the substandard God Crystals from the crystal giants are!"


    A bright white-and-gold crystal appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. He started to circulate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and absorb the energy within the substandard God Crystal.


    A blood-red crystal also appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. Zhao Feng multi-tasked and inspected this crystal pearl that radiated a terrifying bloodline aura. Zhao Feng had obtained this blood-colored crystal pearl from the bottom of the pond, but he didn''t have time to inspect it then.


    "It seems to be a God Crystal!" Zhao Feng concluded after inspecting it for a long time. After all, Zhao Feng had seen the Evil God Crystal before, and his Little World of Illusions also had a God crystal within it.


    However, this God Crystal was different from the rest. Apart from the fact that it contained a wisp of Divine Power and the essence of Heaven and Earth, there was also an enormous amount of bloodline essence.


    "Blood God Crystal!?" Zhao Feng was stunned. This was a God Crystal that contained the bloodline of the God corpse. According to the guesses of the continent''s experts, this God corpse was most likely the Giant God Race, which was ranked 15th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    The Giant God Race was a terrifying race that was ranked even higher than the Spiritual Race, and the Blood God Crystal in Zhao Feng''s hand might contain a wisp of its bloodline!


    Zhao Feng put the Blood God Crystal away after calming down. The value of this Blood God Crystal might very likely be even higher than Nan Gongsheng''s Evil God''s Crystal, but it would be a waste for Zhao Feng to use it.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng already had the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline, and it had nothing in common with the Giant God Race bloodline. If he used the Blood God Crystal in a rush, who knew what would happen?


    Secondly, Zhao Feng''s perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline was of extremely high grade as well. This wisp of Giant God Race bloodline might not be any stronger than Zhao Feng''s perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat walked over with the Green Spiritual Gourd, and Zhao Feng poured out the blood-colored liquid he had obtained from the pond. He then wiped it over his body as he activated the Sacred Lightning Body.


    "It can strengthen my bloodline and increase my state of existence. It also contains the element of Earth!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned to joy. This blood-colored liquid was even more effective than the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s bloodline. However, the main point was that it contained a wisp of the element of Earth, which was very beneficial toward Zhao Feng''s Earth of Wind Lightning.


    A day later, the physical aura radiating from Zhao Feng''s body became stronger and stronger. He made more progress on the 6th level of the Sacred Lightning Body and managed to completely consolidate his cultivation. His Earth of Wind Lightning was also more stable as well.


    Zhao Feng managed to resolve the problem of forcefully increasing his cultivation by using large amounts of the blood-colored liquid and some substandard God Crystals.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng left the Misty Spatial World. Nan Gongsheng had also managed to consolidate his cultivation in a day''s time by using many resources. He gained control over a strong power, but since his understanding wasn''t enough yet, he still couldn''t completely master this power. He could just use it a bit better than before.


    On the other side, Zhao Yufei was also progressing very quickly. Her Mystic Light Sacred Power was more refined; it was almost comparable to the Sacred Power of Sacred Kings. However, Zhao Yufei had the same problem as Nan Gongsheng; her understanding wasn''t enough yet.


    "Let''s go. There should be many resources in the God corpse that can refine our souls and our comprehension!" Zhao Feng said. He also needed these resources as well.


    The trio took action. The area they traveled through before was probably not even one ten-thousandth of the total God corpse. This was still just the edge of the God corpse.

 1082 Eyed on Upon Once More

    Chapter 1082 - Being Targeted Once More


    Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and Nan Gongsheng flew through the complex structure.


    "Let''s head toward the center of the God corpse!"


    This was their goal. The fortune and resources in the center of the God corpse were definitely better than the outskirts.


    On the way, Zhao Feng would occasionally use the ability of his left eye to see through the crystal walls and scout out the place as well as search for treasures. They purposely avoided other groups, but they would compete with other groups if they noticed rare resources.


    Zhao Feng''s group wasn''t weak, and they worked well together. Normal groups led by Sacred Kings were unable to do anything to them.


    "I wonder what happened with Demigod Destruction fighting the Divine Power crystal giant," Nan Gongsheng murmured. It was obvious that he still hadn''t forgotten about the ball of Divine Power.


    "It''s hard to know!" Zhao Feng shook his head. According to his guesses, the true strength of the Yao Spirit shouldn''t be less than Demigod Destruction. The defense and power of the Yao Spirit were extremely great, it could use a wisp of Divine Power, and it might even have some of the techniques its master once had.


    The combination of these reasons meant that even Demigod Destruction, who had the Eyes of Destruction, might not be its match. However, there was also the possibility that the fight between them had attracted other groups over. All in all, there were too many possibilities, so it was hard to guess the result.


    In reality, Zhao Feng also really wanted that ball of Divine Power. Now that his cultivation was high enough, he could, in theory, absorb Divine Power. Furthermore, that Divine Power wasn''t the same as the power of the Evil God within Nan Gongsheng''s body; it wouldn''t affect his personality. If he could use Divine Power, Zhao Feng would have another trump card. He would be able to unleash devastating physical power just like Kun Yun and Nan Gongsheng. On top of that, Divine Power was very useful for breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    Right at this point in time, a loud explosion sounded not far away. Zhao Feng and company were instantly alarmed; they could sense that the center of the explosion was very far away from them, but its power had actually spread all the way to them. From this, they could see how terrifying the explosion was.


    "Let''s go have a look!" Zhao Feng suggested. A faint golden ripple of light spread across Zhao Feng''s left eye as the trio started to approach the center of the explosion.


    A surge of divine aura could be felt, and it made them tremble. They were getting closer to the origin of the explosion.


    "The crystal walls here have been damaged!" Nan Gongsheng looked at the side and found some signs of the crystal walls being damaged. Zhao Feng was also able to see some other groups approaching with the ability of his left eye; they were obviously attracted by the explosion as well.


    "That is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s eye reached its limit after looking through several dozen crystal walls, and he saw some images. The majority of the walls there had been destroyed, and wisps of Divine Power were leaking from the walls. It made everywhere within a certain range a forbidden area.


    At the edges of the broken walls were two heavily injured Sacred Kings and several Sacred Lords. These two Sacred Kings were Sacred King Black Poison and Sacred King Purple Poison that Zhao Feng and company met earlier. Zhao Feng also knew one of the non-human Sacred Lords; it was Sacred Lord Sky Trampler.


    Sacred Lord Sky Tramper was the late-stage elephantmen Sacred Lord that tried to take revenge on Zhao Feng alongside Sacred Lord Myriad Forms a while back.


    The tattered corpse of another non-human Sacred Lord lay not far from them, and their soul had been destroyed.


    Two figures flew out from the center of the explosion.


    "Destruction, it was a bad choice to work with you this time!" One of the figures was an elder of the elephantmen race with dark yellow skin. He had a muscular figure, but his aura was weak, and he had an ugly expression.


    "Ferocity, if it weren''t for my Eyes of Destruction, you would have died to that explosion of Divine Power from the crystal giant!" Demigod Destruction''s eyes were dim. The strength that the Divine Power crystal giant had at the beginning exceeded the limits of what Demigod Destruction could handle. Demigod Destruction''s group was chased for a while before they met Demigod Ferocity from the elephantmen race.


    The two Demigods teamed up, turned the tide, and started to chase after the Divine Power crystal giant. At the end, the Divine Power crystal giant knew that it couldn''t run away, and it detonated the ball of Divine Power within its body, creating the current situation.


    "We spent so much energy and didn''t get anything in return!" Demigod Ferocity was enraged.


    "Lord Ferocity!" Demigod Ferocity''s group bowed their heads respectfully as they greeted him. They didn''t dare to anger this Demigod right now.


    "Let''s go!" Demigod Ferocity led his group and was about to leave.


    "Demigod Ferocity, I''m going to tell you some news. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms from your elephantmen race has been captured by a human!" Demigod Destruction smiled and said.


    "What? That brat Myriad Forms?" Demigod Ferocity suddenly stopped, and his eyebrows furrowed together.


    "Which human expert?" Demigod Ferocity asked. Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was extremely cocky and acted on his own. His relationship with the other members of the race wasn''t very good, but Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had the Eyes of Myriad Forms, meaning that his potential was very high. He would definitely be able to become a Demigod in the future, and that was very important for their race.


    "Hehe. A human Sacred Lord named Zhao Feng!" Demigod Destruction laughed with a hint of mockery.


    Zhao Feng was pretty famous during the war between the two lord dynasties. He used a unique weapon to defeat Sacred Lord Myriad Forms when he was just a Quasi-Sacred Lord, and after breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, he managed to defeat Sacred Lord Myriad Forms head-on when they met again. Now, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms had been captured alive by Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng? An initial-stage Sacred Lord?" Demigod Ferocity''s expression was grim. It was obvious that he had heard of Zhao Feng before. However, since Zhao Feng had broken through to the early stages only after entering the God corpse, not many people knew about it.


    Demigod Ferocity harrumphed coldly and left with his group. At the same time, Demigod Destruction left with several others as well.


    The explosion had been too terrifying. Demigod Destruction and Demigod Ferocity were both severely injured, so it would be dangerous if they met a human Demigod.


    Zhao Feng''s heart shook as he saw the situation near the explosion with his left eye.


    "We need to leave quickly!" Zhao Feng immediately said before taking Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei with him and leaving.


    He didn''t think that such a problem would come up after capturing Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. Originally, all Zhao Feng had to worry about in the God corpse was Demigod Dark Ocean from Nine Darkness Palace, but now another Demigod had their eyes on him.


    Demigods stood at the pinnacle of the continent zone. Even if Demigod Ferocity was heavily injured right now, he could still kill Zhao Feng with the tap of a finger.


    "There are two non-human Demigods at the explosion center!" Zhao Feng said after seeing that Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei were both curious.


    Hearing this, the expressions of Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei changed dramatically. Zhao Feng and company only slowed down and started to recover their Yuan Qi after travelling a long distance.


    "Zhao Feng? What happened there? Why were there two Demigods?" Nan Gongsheng asked.


    Zhao Feng then told them what he saw.


    "The Divine Power crystal giant self-destructed!?" Nan Gongsheng let out a long breath. He felt slightly regretful, but there was a lot of fortune within the God corpse. There should be Divine Power elsewhere.


    The trio went on their way after resting for a short while.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The trio heard the sounds of battle just ahead after travelling several miles.


    Weng~~~


    A faint golden ripple covered Zhao Feng''s left eye as he saw through the walls ahead of him. Three golden-white figures sped out from a pile of crystal ruins and headed in Zhao Feng''s direction.


    "Quick, don''t let those Sacred Lords from the Grand Imperial Hall get away! They took many substandard God Crystals and precious herbs!" Five non-human figures immediately chased from the pile of crystal ruins.


    "Sacred Lord Gonghuang?" Zhao Feng saw a familiar figure amongst those running away. Sacred Lord Gonghuang was the Sacred Lord from the Grand Imperial Hall that was responsible for protecting the Ninth Prince on the battlefield.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    There were two very powerful auras amongst the non-humans chasing after them.


    They could faintly see a half-transparent green-skinned female within a white beam of light. She was extremely charming, and she was the fastest. Behind her was a large middle-aged non-human with golden yellow fur. He held an ancient greataxe and radiated a crushing pressure.


    "Run! We might be able to meet another group of humans!" a male wearing green armor in Sacred Lord Gonghuang''s group said. Although he was a Sacred King, this green-armored male was heavily injured. He had lost one of his right arms, and his face was pale-white.


    "It''s a human group!" The other Sacred Lord revealed a joyful expression when they saw Zhao Feng''s figure, but his expression soon became ugly.


    "An early-stage Sacred Lord? Three Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords?" The heart of the green-armored male who had lost an arm dropped when he saw Zhao Feng. He sighed as he sensed the aura of the two Sacred Kings behind him. There was a total of six non-humans chasing after them, including two Sacred Kings. Three normal Sacred Lords would be useless facing such a terrifying combination.


    "Zhao Feng!?" Sacred Lord Gonghuang reacted differently from the other two, and he immediately called out with a joyful expression. The two Sacred Lords in his group were both upper echelon members of the Grand Imperial Hall that were usually in seclusion, so they didn''t know the situation of the battlefield very well.


    "Zhao Feng?" Although the green-armored male didn''t know Zhao Feng''s appearance, he had heard the name before after coming out of seclusion.


    "Zhao Feng, can you help us?" Sacred Lord Gonghuang immediately asked. He knew very clearly how strong Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and Nan Gongsheng were.


    Furthermore, these three were even stronger than before. Although he didn''t expect Zhao Feng and company to defeat the non-humans chasing after them, if they teamed up with Sacred Lord Gonghuang and company, they should at least be able to safely retreat.


    The expressions of the green-armored male who lost an arm and the other Sacred Lord softened a little bit and revealed a hint of joy. They did indeed find that the trio in front of them was different after close inspection. The green-armored male also recognized Zhao Yufei''s Spiritual Race bloodline.


    "What do we get out of it?" Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same as he immediately responded.


    "What, you¡­!" The early-stage Sacred Lord in the group became extremely angry.


    "Zhao Feng, we''re all humans. It''s not unreasonable for you to help fight against the non-humans, right?" The expression of the injured green-armored Sacred King darkened. If it wasn''t for the fact that he was injured and helpless, he wouldn''t still be talking to Zhao Feng in such a nice tone.


    At this moment, the six non-human experts arrived. The leading two Sacred Kings inspected Zhao Feng and company, and their grim expressions softened as they revealed faint smiles.


    "I thought that you managed to find some incredulous allies, but it''s just three normal Sacred Lords!" The non-human female smiled evilly.

 1083 Teaming Up

    Chapter 1083 - Teaming Up


    "I thought that you managed to find some incredulous allies, but it''s just three normal Sacred Lords!" The non-human female smiled evilly.


    "What do I get out of it?" Zhao Feng said once more to the injured green-armored Sacred King.


    After all, if Zhao Feng and company were going to help, they would have to face six non-humans, including two Sacred King experts. Zhao Feng wasn''t willing to do such a risky thing for nothing. Nan Gongsheng didn''t even want to bother at all.


    Furthermore, this green-armored Sacred King would definitely have promised to give a reward for help if they had met Sacred Kings or Demigods. The green-armored Sacred King and his group were just relying on their identity as members of the Grand Imperial Hall to force Zhao Feng and company around.


    The expressions of the green-armored male and the other Sacred Lord were extremely ugly. If it wasn''t for the fact that the situation was so urgent, they would have attacked Zhao Feng already. Being upper echelon members of a four-star power that controlled the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty, Zhao Feng actually dared to blackmail them?


    "We are upper echelon members of the Grand Imperial Hall ¨C the force that supports the Great Gan Imperials. What you''re doing isn''t right!" The green-armored male suppressed the anger in his heart.


    "Sacred King Green Light, let''s just hand over some of the resources we obtained!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang persuaded. After all, if Zhao Feng and company could save them, they should receive something in compensation. These non-humans weren''t exactly weak.


    "Humans are very interesting. You''re still fighting amongst yourselves even when death is upon you!?" The green female laughed.


    "Kill them all!" The other non-human Sacred King gripped his axe and roared as he immediately attacked.


    The other non-humans behind laughed coldly and followed suit.


    "If you''re able to defeat the non-humans, we are willing to hand over 30% of what we obtained just now!" Seeing that the enemy Sacred Kings had already taken action, Sacred King Green Light immediately spoke. The other early-stage Sacred Lord nodded his head in agreement.


    In reality, they didn''t think that Zhao Feng and company actually had the ability to resolve the danger this time. They just wanted to use Zhao Feng to stall for time because they had already sent out a request for help while they were being chased.


    "50%!" Zhao Feng said.


    "Ignorant humans, you''re courting death!" The non-human wielding the giant axe revealed a gruesome expression after seeing Zhao Feng and company continue to chat.


    "Fine, 50%!" Sacred King Green Light was furious but had to agree to Zhao Feng''s demands.


    "Then let''s attack together!" Zhao Feng said after seeing them agree. Even if Sacred King Green Light gave them everything, Zhao Feng wouldn''t help if his group had to face everyone alone.


    "Go!" Sacred King Green Light immediately roared.


    Weng~~


    A white-and-gold long sword appeared in Sacred King Green Light''s left hand and released a bright light.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The six humans charged forward.


    Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng sent out a wave of purple-and-blood-colored light that clashed against the non-human male wielding the axe. At the same time, the other five humans fought with the other non-human experts.


    "This is the bloodline of the Spiritual Race!" The transparent green non-human female instantly knew Zhao Yufei''s identity the moment she clashed with her. Zhao Yufei summoned Heaven Earth Yuan Qi with every movement to increase the power of her moves.


    "Spiritual Glow Saint Blow!" Zhao Yufei''s jade-like hand released a surge of purple light that shot toward the transparent green non-human Sacred King.


    On the other side, the clash between the non-human male wielding the axe and Nan Gongsheng caused Heaven and Earth to shake. The ancient axe in the non-human Sacred King''s hands radiated a forceful power that suppressed everything as it slashed out a wave of destruction.


    Nan Gongsheng showed no signs of weakness as he circulated a wisp of the Evil God''s power. Two Evil Demonic Claws formed and blocked the non-human Sacred King''s attack.


    "Power of the Evil God¡­ Nan Gongsheng?" The non-human male''s expression turned to surprise as he recognized Nan Gongsheng''s identity as well.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng fought with the Sacred Lords of the non-human team.


    This was the plan that Zhao Feng and company had set up long ago. If they met a group that had Sacred Kings, Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei were responsible for stalling the Sacred Kings.


    Nan Gongsheng had the power of the Evil God and the substandard God Golden Pond Shield. Stalling a Sacred King by himself would be extremely easy. Zhao Yufei''s battle-power was also doubled in the God corpse due to her Spiritual Race bloodline.


    Zhao Feng looked to be the weakest, so he was easily ignored. He was responsible for quickly defeating the other Sacred Lords in the non-human team and turning the tide.


    Of course, this tactic only worked against non-human teams that had two Sacred Kings at most. However, Zhao Feng and company could only rely on this tactic to gain a slight advantage. It was extremely difficult for them to defeat the opponent unless they used some of their hidden cards.


    Once they met a non-human team with three or more Sacred Kings, Zhao Feng and company would be forced to retreat.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng merged the power of Wind Lightning with the Physical Force Lightning Domain and unleashed a scarlet-golden palm of lightning.


    Weng~~~ Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A giant golden-red palm of lightning pushed forward with extreme power and the pressure of the Physical Force Lightning Domain.


    Boom!


    The early-stage Sacred Lord and the late-stage Sacred Lord in front of Zhao Feng were unable to stop Zhao Feng''s palm and were slammed into the crystal wall behind them. The early-stage non-human Sacred Lord was almost killed immediately by Zhao Feng''s palm.


    "Senior, we''re not his match!" The late-stage Sacred Lord was injured and scared of Zhao Feng.


    "How is this possible? How can that brat be so strong!?" The transparent green non-human female was shocked. The strength of these three Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords had exceeded their expectations.


    "What power!" Sacred King Green Light was stunned. He didn''t think that Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei had reached a stage where they could stall Sacred Kings. Zhao Feng''s strength wasn''t to be underestimated either. From the looks of it, if they properly teamed up, they could defeat the non-humans.


    "Great!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang was overjoyed. Even he didn''t expect the strength of these to have reached such a level. Thinking back to the first time they met, Zhao Feng''s strength was only on par with Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, and Nan Gongsheng was only on par with Sacred Lord Sky Trampler.


    "Clone!" The two non-human Sacred Kings instantly unleashed their clones to help the late-stage Sacred Lord deal with Zhao Feng.


    The clones of these two Sacred Kings each had 50% battle-power of the original, and after teaming up with the late-stage non-human Sacred Lord, they were able to suppress Zhao Feng.


    "Sacred King Green Light, your clone¡­?" Sacred Lord Gonghuang immediately asked.


    "My clone was severely injured in the battle earlier and can''t fight!" Sacred King Green Light decided not to support Zhao Feng.


    Weng~~ Hu~ Hu~


    Seeing that the situation was looking bad, Zhao Feng immediately released the projection of his Little World of Illusions to weaken the three non-humans in front of him. The consciousnesses of the two clones were weak, so their resistance against Zhao Feng''s Little World of Illusions was weak.


    Zhao Feng''s illusion techniques were more powerful in his Little World projection.


    "Purple Star Chaos! Soul Chaos!" Zhao Feng circulated his left eye''s power and used some of the simple illusion techniques he learned from the Ji Family. In reality, Zhao Feng''s talent in the Dao of Illusions surpassed his talent in offensive eye-bloodline techniques, he just didn''t really focus on it.


    "Not good, that brat''s really troublesome!" The non-human Sacred King wielding the axe felt that the situation wasn''t looking very good. Even with the help of their clones, Zhao Feng was still able to fight and slowly gain the advantage.


    Furthermore, the humans still had three upper echelon members of the Grand Imperial Hall that couldn''t be ignored either. Although Sacred King Green Light was heavily injured, he still had the battle power of a late-stage Sacred Lord.


    "Retreat!" The transparent green non-human female immediately messaged the others. There was no need to keep on fighting in such a bad situation.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All of the non-humans started to retreat at the same time, and none of the humans chased after them.


    "Thank you for helping, Little Brother Zhao!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang immediately gave his thanks. Zhao Feng smiled faintly at Sacred Lord Gonghuang before turning to Sacred King Green Light.


    "May this senior please do as promised!" Zhao Feng said. If the other two members of the Grand Imperial had attacked with full power just now, the fight would have ended earlier, but Sacred King Green Light just looked on as the two non-human Sacred Kings sent out their clones and didn''t help.


    "Of course!" Sacred King Green Light handed over an interspatial ring extremely unwillingly. Sacred King Green Light was a Sacred King and someone that had a lot of power within the Grand Imperial Hall. He would obviously do as promised.


    Zhao Feng took the interspatial ring and revealed an overjoyed expression after inspecting it.


    "Forty-three precious herbs, sixteen substandard God Crystals, and three true God Crystals!"


    Zhao Feng believed that Sacred King Green Light definitely didn''t give him as much as he promised, but the amount of resources already exceeded Zhao Feng''s expectations, so he didn''t trouble Sacred King Green Light.


    "Goodbye!" Zhao Feng immediately said goodbye to Sacred King Green Light after completing their deal. Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei then left right away.


    Several powerful auras appeared behind Sacred King Green Light soon after Zhao Feng and company left.


    "Sacred King Green Light, what happened? You''re injured!?" The newcomer was Sacred King Feather Spirit. He immediately rushed over when he received Sacred King Green Light''s plea for help.


    "We met some non-humans, but Zhao Feng''s group arrived, and we managed to defeat the non-humans together!" Sacred King Green Light sighed. If Sacred King Feather Spirit had arrived earlier, he wouldn''t have been blackmailed by those juniors.


    "What? Zhao Feng?" Sacred King Feather Spirit paused before revealing a happy look. The eyes of Sacred King Xihai next to him also flashed.


    "Brother Green Light, which direction did Zhao Feng head in? Please tell me!" Sacred King Feather Spirit was extremely excited.


    "Brother Feather Spirit, why do you want Zhao Feng?" Sacred King Green Light was extremely surprised at how Sacred King Feather Spirit acted.


    "Brother Green Light, you might not know this, but Zhao Feng is the culprit that killed the Thirteenth Prince and attacked an upper echelon member of the Grand Imperial Hall¡­." Sacred King Feather Spirit said. Of course, he completely ignored the fact that he had been severely injured by Zhao Feng.


    "That junior is so evil? He also blackmailed me for precious resources that I just obtained. I''ll follow Brother Feather Spirit to capture this brat!" Sacred King Green Light''s expression changed, and he seemed to be even happier than Sacred King Feather Spirit.

 1084 Relentless

    Chapter 1084 - Relentless


    "That junior is so evil? He also blackmailed me for precious resources that I just obtained. I''ll follow Brother Feather Spirit to capture this brat!" Sacred King Green Light''s expression changed, and he seemed to be even happier than Sacred King Feather Spirit.


    "Senior Feather Spirit, how can Zhao Feng be the culprit that killed the Thirteenth Prince?" Sacred Lord Gonghuang was stunned.


    Back then, some people from the imperial side and the Lan Province War Hall had investigated the Ninth Prince''s team and confirmed that Zhao Feng couldn''t have been the one to kill the Thirteenth Prince, but now Sacred King Feather Spirit said that Zhao Feng was the culprit. Sacred Lord Gonghuang didn''t understand.


    He was also disgusted by Sacred King Green Light''s current actions. Zhao Feng and company had helped them, and Sacred King Green Light had properly handed over his resources, but now, he was planning to steal them back?


    However, since these two were Mystic Light Realm Sacred Kings and had a lot of power in the Grand Imperial Hall, Sacred Lord Gonghuang obviously couldn''t offend them.


    "Hmph, are you saying that there''s something wrong with my investigations!?" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s eyebrows furrowed as he glared at Sacred Lord Gonghuang. Invisible laws of Heaven and Earth locked onto Sacred Lord Gonghuang and completely suppressed his bloodline and Sacred Power. He was now a sheep that could be killed by anyone.


    This was the difference between an early-stage Sacred Lord and a Sacred King. Sacred Lord Gonghuang was nothing in front of Sacred King Feather Spirit. Sacred King Feather Spirit in particular was one of the more powerful and older existences among Sacred Kings.


    "I''ll follow the three seniors!" The other early-stage Sacred Lord in Sacred King Green Light''s team immediately spoke. From his point of view, Zhao Feng would be unable to escape from three Sacred Kings either way, and he also wanted to continue scouting out the God corpse. Following three Sacred Kings was obviously safer.


    "Brother Feather Spirit, they just left and headed in this direction!" Sacred King Green Light said after eating some healing medicines.


    "Let''s go!" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s group and Sacred King Green Light''s group teamed up, and a total of seven Mystic Light Realm experts chased after Zhao Feng.


    "Sigh. Zhao Feng, I can''t help you at all!" Sacred Lord Gonghuang sighed. He left the group and was travelling alone now, and he obviously didn''t dare to stay behind in the God corpse as such. Sacred Lord Gonghuang had already obtained enough rewards, so he decided to leave.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred Lord Gonghuang retreated by relying on his memories of how they entered.


    ¡­


    Elsewhere in the God corpse, Zhao Feng and company moved through a complete pathway made from crystal walls.


    "We should be at the center of the God corpse now!" Zhao Feng slowly said. More and more precious herbs could be seen everywhere, and the walls became brighter and flashed with white lights.


    "Brother Feng, behind us¡­." Zhao Yufei seemed to sense something.


    Hearing this, a layer of faint gold instantly covered Zhao Feng''s left eye as he scanned behind.


    "Not good. Run!" Zhao Feng immediately said.


    "What happened?" Nan Gongsheng was puzzled.


    "Sacred King Green Light and two other Sacred Kings from the Grand Imperial Hall are chasing after us!" Zhao Feng said. He was sure that the seven Mystic Light Realm experts chasing after them were coming to deal with him because Sacred King Feather Spirit was amongst them.


    Zhao Feng wouldn''t be scared if it was just Sacred King Feather Spirit, but there were three Sacred Kings among the seven people chasing after them.


    Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng could only stall one Sacred King each at the very most. Since the opponents were stronger and they had more people, Zhao Feng could only choose to run.


    Nan Gongsheng instantly knew that something was amiss after hearing this, but he believed what Zhao Feng said.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The trio instantly used escaping secret techniques to quickly pass through the crystal walls. There was some fortune, but they didn''t bother with it.


    Not far away from them:


    "I sense the disturbance of their Sacred Power. That way!" The blue-haired Sacred King Xihai''s eyes flashed as he charged forward.


    The Intents of all three Sacred Kings covered the group so that their speed was increased to the same level.


    "Brother Feng, they''re getting closer!" Zhao Yufei had an anxious expression as she sensed the disturbance behind them with her Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Zhao Feng was the fastest among the trio; if he used the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, he would be even faster than normal Sacred Kings. After him was Nan Gongsheng, then Zhao Yufei.


    However, it didn''t matter how fast Zhao Feng was by himself. He couldn''t just leave Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei behind by themselves, right?


    Zhao Feng could let Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei enter the Misty Spatial World, then escape by himself. The chances of him being able to run away would be rather high. However, the Misty Spatial World contained many of Zhao Feng''s secrets, and he was worried about letting Nan Gongsheng enter. After all, Nan Gongsheng''s personality had changed a lot.


    "Brother Feng, should we use the Misty Spatial World and leave?" Zhao Yufei said with some guilt.


    "No!" Zhao Feng immediately declined. He had only left behind a spatial marking where they entered. If they used the Misty Spatial World to leave, they would return to their starting point, and they had used a lot of time to reach the center.


    "Where do you think you''re running to?" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s voice sounded from behind as a wave of Magnificent Power crushed toward Zhao Feng and company like a tsunami.


    Zhao Feng and company were ready; they instantly released their Little World projections. Three powerful Little World projections appeared behind Zhao Feng''s group and blocked the Intents of the three Sacred Kings.


    "This brat has another Little World?" Sacred King Green Light was very surprised as he looked at the projection of Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning.


    He remembered that Zhao Feng had used the Little World of Illusions in their battle earlier. The power of Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning was also very strong.


    "Hmph, so what if his Little World is strong? His understanding isn''t high enough, so he can''t completely use the power of the Little World!" Sacred King Feather Spirit mocked.


    The three Sacred Kings all released their Little World projections as well and formed more condensed power that crushed through space and proceeded forward.


    Boom!


    The clash of Little Worlds caused Heaven and Earth to tremble. Although the Little Worlds of Zhao Feng''s group were strong, Sacred King Feather Spirit was correct; their understanding and cultivation wasn''t high enough, so they couldn''t utilize the power of their Little Worlds to the level of the three Sacred Kings.


    However, Zhao Feng and company used this force to speed up. At the same time, a green dot of light appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand; this was the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly. A strong surge of Sacred Power brewed within the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly''s body.


    Voom! Voom!


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly released Dream Pollen and its silk at the same time. The path behind Zhao Feng was instantly covered by a layer of rainbow-colored light and pollen.


    Zhao Feng then put the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly away and had Sacred Lord Myriad Forms come out of the Misty Spatial World.


    "Myriad Forms ¨C World of Wind Lightning!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms focused his eyes and changed the elements of Heaven and Earth. Limitless elemental power of Wind Lightning instantly appeared. This power was extremely pure and could be easily controlled.


    Zhao Feng controlled the projection of his Little World of Wind Lightning and merged the elemental power of Wind Lightning into his body.


    Weng~~~~


    A pair of scarlet wings of lightning spread out behind Zhao Feng''s back and suddenly released a dazzling light as the elemental power of Wind Lightning surrounded Zhao Feng.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng circulated the power of Wind Lightning as he swept up Zhao Yufei, Nan Gongsheng, and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and sped into the hallway.


    "Perfect support!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but praise. The Eyes of Myriad Forms was very useful. At this moment, Zhao Feng''s entire group was travelling at the same speed as him. However, he wasn''t faster than a Sacred King without the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash, and that could only be used by himself. In addition, the landscape was very complex, and with the divine aura interrupting them, the Lightning Wings Spatial Flash was heavily restricted and almost couldn''t be used at all even if he wanted to escape alone.


    Boom!


    The three Sacred Kings'' group broke through the layer of pollen and silk.


    "That''s Sacred Lord Myriad Forms!" one of the Sacred Kings exclaimed.


    "Zhao Feng, how dare you team up with the nonhumans!?" Sacred King Feather Spirit roared in anger. Everyone in their group saw Sacred Lord Myriad Forms as soon as he appeared to help Zhao Feng.


    "Chase after them!" Sacred King Green Light''s expression was extremely ugly. Where would their face go if Zhao Feng managed to throw them off?


    Even if they had the help of Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, Zhao Feng and company wouldn''t be able to escape.


    Whoosh!


    The three Sacred Kings circulated their Magnificent Power and chased after them.


    "Stall them!" Zhao Feng told Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Understood, Master!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' rainbow-colored eyes started to spin.


    The power of Wind Lightning behind Zhao Feng instantly turned into the heavy elemental power of Earth.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The speed of the Sacred Kings'' group slowed down. Of the three Sacred Kings, some specialized in the element of Wind or Water, but none of them specialized in the element of the Earth.


    However, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' cultivation was too low, so all the three Sacred Kings needed to do was burn a wisp of their Mystic Light Sacred Power, and they would be able to completely ignore this resistance.


    "Master, my cultivation is too low. I can''t stop them!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms told Zhao Feng.


    "Why are these guys chasing after us?" Nan Gongsheng''s expression was ugly, and he radiated a bloodthirsty and cruel aura as if he really wanted to kill everyone behind them, but he knew that he wouldn''t be their match.


    Zhao Feng gave a dry cough. The target of Sacred King Feather Spirit and the blue-haired Sacred King seemed to be just him. This meant that Zhao Feng was basically dragging down Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng.


    "Sacred King Feather Spirit, are you sure you want to chase after us?" Zhao Feng asked loudly.


    Wasting time to chase after someone in the God corpse was a dumb choice.


    "Hmph, assassinating an imperial prince and humiliating me¡­ you have nowhere to run to!" Sacred King Feather Spirit hesitated for a moment before saying. They had chased after them for such a long time already. If they gave up now, they would become a joke.


    "Then don''t blame me for doing this!" Zhao Feng''s tone was cold as he radiated killing intent.


    Shua!


    A dark silver bow and a dark golden arrow appeared in Zhao Feng''s hands.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng put the replica God Slaying Arrow onto the Sky Locking Bow and pulled back the bowstring. A terrifying dark golden light spread through the air as the image of a hundred-yard-long arrow formed. A soul-focused power instantly slammed into the seven Mystic Light Realm experts.


    "God Slaying Arrow!?" Sacred King Feather Spirit was frightened when he saw Zhao Feng take out that arrow.


    The three Sacred Kings instantly stopped as their hearts shook. Some of the weaker Sacred Lords felt as if their souls had been stabbed, and they started to feel pain. Their legs went soft, and their faces were pale with fear when they heard Sacred King Feather Spirit say the words "God Slaying Arrow."

 1085 Fortune in the Center

    Chapter 1085 - Fortune in the Center


    "Wait, no, that''s not a God Slaying Arrow!" Sacred King Feather Spirit felt the power within the arrow and shook his head. They had all witnessed the power of a true God Slaying Arrow when Demigod Dragon Emperor used it on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. That power could destroy Heaven and Earth, and anyone weaker than a Demigod wouldn''t be able to survive.


    "That brat is just scaring us!" Sacred King Feather Spirit swore. The Sacred Lords behind the three Sacred Kings instantly let out a breath when they heard this.


    "Where did this brat obtain replica God Slaying Arrows!?" Sacred King Xihai was puzzled. From the looks of it, that replica God Slaying Arrow Zhao Feng had wasn''t exactly weak, but which blacksmith in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty could craft such a high-grade weapon?


    Zhao Feng released the bowstring at this instant.


    Whoosh!


    A giant dark golden arrow phantom that could pierce through everything shot out with a storm of dark gold.


    "Defend!" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s expression turned serious as he spoke. The other two Sacred Kings both immediately circulated their Sacred Power and activated the power of their Little World projections.


    The pathway was very small, so they couldn''t hide anywhere. They could only retreat or block. However, since the crystal walls could block Divine Sense and the landscape was very complex, if they retreated, Zhao Feng might be able to use this chance to escape. The difficulty of finding Zhao Feng afterward would be very difficult.


    The most important thing was that Zhao Feng was very close to them, which increased the power of the replica God Slaying Arrow. However, the three Sacred Kings believed that, as long as they went on full defense, it wouldn''t be hard to block the power from this replica God Slaying Arrow.


    Hu~~ Weng!


    The three Sacred Kings merged the power of their Little World projections and formed it into a dark blue defensive dimension. The three Sacred Kings each used secret defensive techniques with the dimension in order to protect themselves.


    Bam!


    The giant dark golden arrow shot forward and unleashed a storm of metal and lightning. Cracks actually appeared on the walls nearby.


    "Not good! This replica God Slaying Arrow targets the soul!" Sacred King Feather Spirit found that something was amiss. Although attacks made of Mystic Light Sacred Power could pass through the physical dimension and harm the soul, an attack that specifically targeted the soul was very different.


    "What a terrifying power of God Tribulation Lightning! How does this brat have the power of God Tribulation Lightning!?" Sacred King Green Light was already severely injured, and he was the first among the three Sacred Kings to fall.


    Although the three Sacred Kings could block most of the replica God Slaying Arrow''s power, soul attacks could pass through everything. It even reached the Sacred Lords behind them as a bombardment of Metal and God Tribulation Lightning exploded in the soul-dimension.


    Voom!


    The explosion settled, and the expressions of the three Sacred Kings were extremely ugly. The one with the heaviest injuries was Sacred King Green Light; he was severely injured to begin with, and he was now even weaker. The one with the lightest injuries was Sacred King Xihai. He specialized in the soul, so his resistance was stronger, but he was unable to fully face the bombardment of the God Tribulation Lightning and elemental Metal.


    "Dammit, we were tricked by that brat!" Sacred King Feather Spirit cursed. Zhao Feng taking out the replica God Slaying Arrow frightened them, so they weren''t able to determine its offensive capabilities. They lowered their guards when they found out it was a replica, but its power greatly exceeded their expectations.


    The three Sacred kings knew that they couldn''t catch up to Zhao Feng anymore, so they just sat down and healed their injuries.


    "Don''t'' chase after that brat anymore. There''s still a lot of fortune in the God corpse; we can''t waste all our time on him!" Sacred King Feather Spirit suggested. He was the first to suggest killing Zhao Feng. The others nodded their heads in agreement.


    "But if we meet him again, I will cut him into ten thousand pieces!" Sacred King Feather Spirit had an ugly expression as he spoke through gritted teeth.


    ¡­


    Elsewhere in the God corpse, Zhao Feng ran away with Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei as soon as he shot his replica God Slaying Arrow. He also ordered Sacred Lords Myriad Forms to change the element of the Yuan Qi in the pathway, as well as erase any aura they left behind when running.


    Zhao Feng knew that it was impossible to completely stop three Sacred Kings with just one replica God Slaying Arrow, but he couldn''t take out the true God Slaying Arrow since he still had Demigod enemies. In order to make up for it, he put all his God Tribulation Lightning symbols into the replica God Slaying Arrow.


    Besides, Zhao Feng''s control over the soul-based God Slaying Arrow was better, so he could unleash more of its power.


    "Let''s rest for a bit!" Zhao Feng said after they managed to completely escape from the three Sacred Kings.


    He used up all his God Tribulation Lightning symbols, so Zhao Feng needed to recover or else his soul attacks wouldn''t have much of an effect, dramatically weakening the strength of their entire group.


    "Sure!" Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei both agreed. After all, Zhao Feng saved them this time. Besides, if Zhao Feng wasn''t at his peak, the two of them would be unable to handle all the dangers within the God corpse.


    Zhao Feng took out some resources that helped the soul from the Misty Spatial World. Some of them came from what Sacred King Green Light had given him; Zhao Feng took all the soul treasures and gave the rest to Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Feng picked out the resources most useful to him and started to duplicate them in the dimension of his left eye. Zhao Feng then ate some herbs and circulated the Soul Recovery Divine Technique.


    Now that Zhao Feng''s Soul Recovery Divine Technique had reached the peak, his soul-defending capabilities and recovery speed had increased dramatically.


    In addition, Zhao Feng''s soul was a Lightning Soul Body, meaning that the symbols of God Tribulation Lightning were part of Zhao Feng''s soul. This meant that his God Tribulation Lightning symbols would also recover when he circulated the Soul Recovery Divine Technique.


    Of course, while healing his soul and regenerating his God Tribulation Lightning symbols, Zhao Feng also used the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to multitask.


    A substandard God Crystal appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, as well as many precious resources that contained the elements of Earth, Wind, and Lightning.


    Zhao Feng had completely consolidated his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique at the early stages of the 9th level. Zhao Feng used substandard God Crystals to cultivate, and because the herbs in the God corpse were very effective, his Earth of Wind Lightning was about to break through to the late stages. The resources in the God corpse also greatly benefitted his lifeforce and body.


    While cultivating, Zhao Feng also inspected Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei. A purple-and-blood-colored figure gave off a wicked and evil aura as it started to condense in Nan Gongsheng''s Little World.


    "Nan Gongsheng seems to be creating a clone!" Zhao Feng saw the situation within the Nan Gongsheng''s Little World. With Nan Gongsheng''s cultivation, he could have created a clone a long time ago, but he was busy increasing his own strength and consolidating his cultivation.


    On the other side, Zhao Yufei was refining her Mystic Light Sacred Power and occasionally eating some herbs to gain comprehension.


    The biggest advantage of the Spiritual Race was their source of power. Although Zhao Yufei was only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, her Mystic Light Sacred Power was already comparable to Sacred Kings. The stronger her Mystic Light Sacred Power was, the stronger her Spiritual Race bloodline''s power was.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes a day later.


    "Let''s go!"


    Although the trio had obtained a lot and needed to enter seclusion to make use of it, time was precious in the God corpse. They didn''t have any time to cultivate here.


    Although Zhao Feng hadn''t fully recovered his God Tribulation Lightning in one day, it had mostly recovered.


    Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng exited seclusion unwillingly.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat stood on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and threw several coins into the air before pointing in a certain direction with its paws.


    "Brother Feng, I also feel an unusual disturbance of Yuan Qi in that direction!" Zhao Yufei said with a smile.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The trio started to move through the crystal maze once more.


    Now that they had arrived at the center of the God corpse, the walls here were extremely tough and hard to destroy. This meant that there would be less fortune. However, once they did find something, it would be far better than the fortune on the outskirts. The fortune might even contain the secret to becoming a God.


    "The disturbance of Yuan Qi is becoming stronger!" Zhao Yufei was sure that they had picked the right target.


    Space suddenly expanded after passing by countless paths. They seemed to arrive at another place as a weird power filled Heaven and Earth. At the very center of this area was an enormous crystalline item. They couldn''t even see where it ended. Many human and non-human experts surrounded the area beneath this enormous crystalline item, including Demigod experts.


    "This should be a certain part of the God corpse''s internal organs!" Zhao Feng activated his sight to the maximum and concluded after using his transparency ability.


    "Let''s go!"


    The trio headed toward the group of humans in the distance. Humans and non-humans both gathered beneath the enormous crystalline item. The non-humans were led by Demigod Arcane Void, a Demigod of the Dark Capital Cult, while the humans were led by Demigod Withered Breath, a Grand Elder of Sky Suspension Palace.


    The humans were slightly stronger, but they would need to pay a heavy price in order to defeat the non-humans. Besides, what was most important right now was the fortune within the God corpse.


    "Another group is here!"


    "They''re humans!"


    Many human Sacred Lords spoke joyfully when they saw Zhao Feng and company arrive, but they shook their heads when they sensed Zhao Feng and company''s strength.


    On the other hand, Demigod Withered Breath, who seemed to be an ancient piece of wood, glanced at the trio.


    Zhao Feng and company were extremely low-key as they slowly approached. They didn''t bother with anything else.


    Zhao Feng felt an ancient and old Soul Intent the closer they got. It was extremely thick and kept on eroding his soul.


    "There''s a very strong Soul Intent in there!" Zhao Feng looked at the enormous crystalline item with joy.


    The trio slowly approached and sat beneath the faint red crystal. They could feel a weird Intent radiating from it. All of the humans and non-humans present were using this power to increase their Soul Intent.


    "What''s in there?" Zhao Feng inspected the enormous crystalline item. There were many cracks that spread out in every direction between the two forces.


    A faint red soul aura leaked out from the cracks. The closer one was, the more clearly one could feel this Intent.


    At a certain moment in time, a faint golden layer of light covered Zhao Feng''s left eye as he looked through the crystal walls.

 1086 Working Together

    Chapter 1086 - Working Together


    "What''s in there?"


    A faint golden layer of light covered Zhao Feng''s left eye as he looked through the crystal walls. At this instant, Zhao Feng seemed to see another world. It was an enormous red crystal vine that might''ve been even bigger than the Great Gan Imperial Palace. This vine spiraled upward like a whirlpool that went through the roof of the crystal walls.


    There were seven-colored fruits on the vine. They filled the sky like stars and spread out across the entire dimension. However, the vine and the fruits were covered by a thin layer of crystal such that even the fruits'' color wasn''t able to pass through the surface.


    There seemed to be another enormous crystalline item in the dimension apart from the enormous vine as well. Of course, this was just what Zhao Feng saw; he didn''t feel any other aura or pressure.


    "That''s an entirely new world!" Zhao Feng took in a deep breath. The vine was the largest plant that Zhao Feng had ever seen in his life. It was like a mysterious kingdom.


    "The faint red Soul Intent should be coming from the vines!" Zhao Feng concluded. However, there was a layer of white crystal covering the surface of the vines. This source of power was probably leaking out from some cracks.


    However, if the aura that was leaking was already so effective that it could allow Mystic Light Realm experts to gain comprehension, it was hard to imagine what kind of effect there would be if one cultivated directly within or what kind of unique abilities the fruits had.


    Right at this moment, Demigod Withered Breath gave a puzzled glance toward Zhao Feng, and Zhao Feng immediately stopped using his Light of Transparency to inspect the inner region of the crystalline item.


    "Senior Withered Breath? What is it?" a Sacred King from Sky Suspension Palace next to Demigod Withered Breath asked. He saw Demigod Withered Breath look at Zhao Feng, but he didn''t understand why an early-stage Sacred Lord would attract the attention of a Demigod.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze immediately turned elsewhere.


    "That is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s expression froze when he looked in a certain direction in the distance. He found that there was another large crystalline item on the outskirts.


    "From the looks of it, there are a lot of crystalline items like this, but this one has a crack on the surface!" Zhao Feng''s knowledge expanded once more. There was countless fortune within the God corpse, but not everyone here had the strength to find it.


    This time, Zhao Feng chose to stay behind and wait for the right timing since two forces were here.


    The fortune within the inner regions of the God corpse was far more precious than the fortune on the outskirts of the God corpse. Even if he couldn''t obtain any fruits from the vines, just sensing the aura from the vines was very beneficial for Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and started to cultivate. He finally had some time to cultivate, so he obviously couldn''t waste it. He circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and started to multi-task.


    Zhao Feng immediately took out some precious resources and substandard God Crystals he had obtained in the God corpse.


    "A measly early-stage Sacred Lord is using substandard God Crystals to cultivate?"


    "That brat isn''t scared that he''ll die from flaunting his wealth?"


    Some Sacred Lords couldn''t help but curse when they saw Zhao Feng being so wasteful. They weren''t willing to spend any of the resources that they obtained in the God corpse since they were planning to use it to break through bottlenecks in the future.


    Some Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings had already set their sights on Zhao Feng, but he kept on cultivating by himself.


    In reality, Zhao Feng still had some unique resources like ancient herbs and bloodline essence, but they didn''t come from the God corpse, so it was unsuitable for him to take them out now.


    Time slowly passed, and Zhao Feng completely used up the substandard God Crystals and resources in his hands. The Sacred Power Whirlpool within his body became bigger and brighter.


    At this moment, another group approached from a crystal pathway far away.


    "An old non-human Sacred King has arrived!" Many people in Zhao Feng''s area exclaimed.


    One Sacred King wasn''t enough to give an advantage to the non-humans, but if a couple more Sacred Kings came, it would be different. Afterall, Demigods were just Sacred Kings that had touched the power of Godhood. They weren''t true Gods, and the actual difference between them and Sacred Kings wasn''t that big.


    Zhao Feng''s expression froze when his Divine Sense scanned over. This non-human Sacred King was Sacred King Roaring Sky, who had chased after Zhao Feng and company a while back.


    Back then, Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and Sacred Lord Gonghuang had teamed up to fight, but they were unable to escape from this Sacred King. In the end, Sacred King Yulong from the Grand Imperial Hall arrived and saved them.


    Of course, Sacred King Roaring Sky soon found Zhao Feng and company as well and revealed a disdainful expression. "I didn''t kill you back then, but if I have the chance, I will definitely do so this time!"


    Many people on both sides knew that Sacred King Roaring Sky was talking about Zhao Feng and company. After all, Sacred Kings rarely appeared on the battlefield, so a lot of attention was paid to the appearance of each Sacred King.


    A human Sacred King soon arrived as well. It was Sacred King Earth Ghost from the Earth Demon Cult.


    "That brat is here as well?" Sacred King Earth Ghost looked at Zhao Feng with furrowed eyebrows. He was slightly scared of Zhao Feng because he was almost certain that Zhao Feng had many replica God Slaying Arrows or even a true God Slaying Arrow. How else would three measly Sacred Lords dare to enter the God corpse by themselves? It would be the same as courting death.


    "Senior Earth Ghost, please come this way!"


    "Sacred King Earth Ghost, we''ll tell you everything that''s happening here!"


    Many human Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings greeted Sacred King Earth Ghost warmly. Sacred King Earth Ghost avoided Zhao Feng and went to the very front to understand the current situation from some upper echelon members of Sky Suspension Palace.


    At a certain moment, an elder with white hair next to Demigod Withered Breath exited their Little World.


    "Senior Withered Breath, we''re ready!" This elder took out some white array flags. They were of different sizes and had different structures as well.


    "Demigod Arcane Void, let''s start!" Demigod Withered Breath suddenly said.


    "Sure!" A middle-aged male with black wings and a sharp mouth instantly stood up from the non-human side.


    Everyone exited seclusion with boiling blood and excitement.


    "We can finally start now!"


    "Two Demigods and an Array Grandmaster. We will definitely be able to conquer the fortune here!"


    In reality, both Demigods had given it a try when they first arrived, but to no avail. Now that there were more and more experts here and they had the help of an array created by an Array Grandmaster, everyone believed that they would be able to conquer this crystalline item and be able to scout out what was inside of it.


    Hu~~


    Grandmaster Qi suddenly threw out all the array flags into the air and activated a technique as he released countless seals.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The array flags in the air suddenly released Sacred Power and moved in a pattern until it formed an enormous array.


    "Stop," Grandmaster Qi said lightly.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All of the array flags that were flying through the air suddenly stopped as the array formed.


    "Can everyone present control a certain array flag and help out? That''s the only way we''ll be able to conquer the fortune here!" Grandmaster Qi laughed and said.


    Sou! Sou!


    All of the groups started to move next to some array flags. The humans and non-humans managed to fill up every array flag position.


    "Attack!" The two Demigods gave the order and started to circulate the array.


    Boom!


    The array flashed with countless terrifying undulations of power as everyone circulated their Mystic Light Sacred Power and unleashed their secret offensive techniques. Balls of multicolored lights of power instantly landed on the crack of the crystal.


    "This array is extremely profound!" Zhao Feng held one of the array flags and felt a weird connection to everyone else present. In the attack just now, everyone''s power had merged together and managed to become an entire level stronger. It had exceeded Zhao Feng''s imaginations.


    The crack on the crystal only spread a little bit, but the Intent suddenly became stronger. All of the experts present had to resist the urge to start gaining comprehension.


    "Again!" Demigod Withered Breath gave the order. The blood of everyone present boiled as they circulated their Mystic Light Sacred Power and unleashed another barrage of attacks.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    This time, a slightly larger crack appeared on the surface of the crystal, and smaller cracks spread in every direction. A desolate Intent started to move, and it shook the hearts of even the two Demigods at the front of the array.


    Everyone''s eyes flashed as they tried to see what was within the crack.


    "Last round of attacks!" Demigod Withered Breath''s tone was decisive. The humans and non-humans present were extremely excited. They obviously believed what a Demigod said; they would be able to break through with this last attack.


    Peng! Boom!


    Everyone impatiently unleashed the last round of attacks, then threw down their array flags and got ready to charge in.


    Booom!


    The cracks on the crystal instantly expanded by several times and opened up a small pathway. A red Intent surged out like the tsunami and released a forceful and desolate aura.


    "Watch out!" Zhao Feng circulated his Soul Intent and released the projection of his Little World of Illusions to cover Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng.


    Bam!


    Surges of terrifying Intent shot out from the pathway and crashed around like a monster. Some of the Sacred Lords that weren''t prepared even lost their consciousness while the Sacred Lords with stronger Soul Intent or defensive treasures felt that something was wrong and instantly started to protect themselves.


    Although Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng were protected by Zhao Feng''s Little World of Illusions, they still felt their souls become bombarded, and their consciousnesses turned blurry.

 1087 Fruit of the Vines

    Chapter 1087 - Fruit of the Vines


    Surges of terrifying Intent shot out from the pathway and crashed around like a monster.


    Although Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng were protected by Zhao Feng''s Little World of Illusions, they still felt their souls become bombarded, and their consciousnesses turned blurry.


    Zhao Feng''s situation was much better. He had a strong soul and the Soul Recovery Divine Technique. Adding on the fact that he had the protection of the God''s Spiritual Eye, there was almost zero effect on Zhao Feng.


    The Intent that filled the area only weakened after a long time. Almost 70% of the experts present had lost their consciousness and fallen to the ground. No one knew if they were dead or alive. The remaining Sacred Lords that had stronger Soul Intent or secret techniques were unwell, and even Sacred Kings didn''t feel very good either. This barrage of Intent had made their souls extremely weak. Although the two Demigods'' souls were very strong, they were standing at the very front, so they were affected as well.


    At this moment, all the experts finally understood. It was because too much energy had gathered in the crystal. A sudden hole released all the energy, creating this situation.


    However, those that were still awake didn''t care about this and immediately charged into the crystal.


    Zhao Feng circulated his soul power to help Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng,


    "Brother Feng, thank you!" Zhao Yufei immediately thanked Zhao Feng. Her Soul Intent was the weakest of the three; it was already a miracle she could stay awake right now.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng said after seeing that they were both doing well.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The trio immediately charged into the small pathway.


    "Hmm? You three are fine!?" Sacred King Roaring Sky was about to enter when he was surprised by Zhao Feng and company being fine. Even some Sacred Kings had been injured since they were off guard, but these three human Sacred Lords managed to maintain their consciousness?


    "If that''s the case, then go die!" Sacred King Roaring Sky had a nasty expression. From his point of view, even if these three Sacred Lords managed to block the Intent just now, their current state wouldn''t be very good. This would be especially true for Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei, who were still at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    Hu~~


    A dark green halberd appeared in Sacred King Roaring Sky''s hand. It glittered with a faint blue light, and it seemed to be able to control the power of water.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng attacked before Sacred King Roaring Sky could. Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng were very weak right now, so they definitely weren''t Sacred King Roaring Sky''s match. Thus, Zhao Feng used his Soul eye-bloodline techniques right away.


    Boom!


    A ball of burning God Tribulation Lightning symbols landed on Sacred King Roaring Sky''s soul. Sacred King Roaring Sky, who only just took out his Heaven-grade divine weapon, was instantly interrupted before he could attack.


    "Arghhhhh¡­!" Sacred King Roaring Sky felt like his soul had entered a hell of fire and lightning as he withstood the bombardment of ten thousand bolts of lightning.


    This attack only contained 30% of Zhao Feng''s God Tribulation Lightning, but since Sacred King Roaring Sky had to face that Intent a moment ago, his soul was relatively weak, so 30% was enough to injure him.


    Zhao Feng and company used this chance to enter the crystal after unleashing this attack.


    "Dammit¡­ that brat Zhao Feng!" Sacred King Roaring Sky had to admit he had underestimated his opponent. Zhao Feng''s growth exceeded his expectations as well.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng and company seemed to arrive in another world the moment they entered the giant crystal. Multi-colored lights flashed within the dimension, and profound Intent filled every inch of space. A thick and heavy power of laws crushed down upon them. In just an instant, the trio felt their Soul Intent become stronger, but immediately following that, Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei felt like they were unable to withstand this ritual. They had to completely concentrate or else their Intent would become weaker until they fell into this power, unable to regain their consciousness.


    The situation was similar to when Zhao Feng put his soul into the pond of the Ancient Dream Realm. However, this power slowly faded away, so those within the crystal might feel better.


    "That is¡­?" Zhao Yufei looked toward the sky. Colorful fruits could be seen across the vine, and each gave off a weird glow. One could tell they were treasures just by looking at them, and at this moment in time, there were countless fruits. They were like stars that filled the sky.


    "Hmm? What''s going on?" Nan Gongsheng leapt into the air, but he felt a law restraining him that he couldn''t describe. His Sacred Lord Intent also couldn''t merge into this dimension.


    "The laws of Heaven and Earth here are different from the continent zone!" Zhao Feng sensed with one glance.


    This dimension was similar to the Ancient Dream Realm, but it was more condensed in terms of laws and Intent.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped out of the Misty Spatial World and seemed to be completely unaffected. It inspected its surroundings with its black eyes.


    At this moment, the two Demigods were in the sky. They had already moved around the vine, trying to find possible fortune.


    The Sacred Kings and late-stage Sacred Lords also spread out and tried to find fortune.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred King Roaring Sky also entered, but he didn''t bother with Zhao Feng and company anymore. Instead, he flew into the air and inspected the vine, trying to find his own fortune.


    Those that entered first had a higher possibility of finding treasure. He obviously wouldn''t waste such precious time on Zhao Feng.


    At a certain moment, Demigod Withered Breath stopped and waved his hand. A profound flash of light landed on a red fruit. The layer of crystal around this red fruit was extremely thin, and there was even a slight crack on it, but the crystal around the fruit remained unfazed by Demigod Withered Breath''s attack.


    "Withered Breath, did you find anything?" Demigod Arcane Void revealed a wicked smile as a pair of black wings spread behind his back, and he headed toward Demigod Withered Breath.


    "You''re courting death!" Demigod Withered Breath''s expression became grim as countless beams of light filled the air and shot toward Demigod Arcane Void.


    "The two Demigods are fighting!" Nan Gongsheng''s heart jumped.


    The two Demigods quickly adapted to this dimension. The sky was the battleground of two Demigods, so it had become a forbidden area.


    Zhao Feng and company also split up and went to search for their own fortune by relying on their own skills.


    Zhao Feng first arrived next to a blue fruit and released a strong surge of Eye Intent. A faint golden light completely saw through the fruit.


    The beam of light coming from Zhao Feng''s left eye disappeared a moment later.


    "It''s too hard to disintegrate this crystal!"


    Zhao Feng gave up on disintegrating the crystal. It was too hard to disintegrate the crystal wall or any other material made of Divine Power with Zhao Feng''s current ability.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat stood on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and started to jump around.


    "You''re saying that, since the Intent from this dimension is leaking out from the vines, there must be a crack on the surface of the vines?"


    Zhao Feng instantly understood what the little thieving cat meant.


    In reality, this was the case. The instant everyone entered this dimension, they set their eyes on the stunning fruits, but it was too difficult to obtain these fruits. Demigod Withered Breath found a fruit with a crack on the surface of the crystal and was still unable to break through it.


    The little thieving cat disappeared after giving Zhao Feng this pointer. It obviously couldn''t just sit still in such a place.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother and spread his Intent through this dimension. As the laws in this dimension were similar to the Ancient Dream Realm, most of Zhao Feng''s Intent could quickly merge into it. Zhao Feng soon sensed that the power of Intent was more concentrated in certain regions.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng arrived at a certain place next to the vines and indeed felt a crack, and a leaf was extending out from this crack. This crystal leaf was red, and one could clearly see the dark green leafy veins running through it.


    Zhao Feng felt an extremely clear and concentrated element of Wood when he approached this leaf. Zhao Feng took in a deep breath, and a clear sensation washed over Zhao Feng''s body. At this instant, all the fatigue disappeared from Zhao Feng''s body. Some of the small hidden injuries left behind by forcefully breaking through his cultivation completely disappeared as well.


    "What a unique effect!"


    Zhao Feng was absolutely overjoyed. He quickly plucked away the leaf and took it while no one was paying attention.


    Zhao Feng then went to the next spot. The crack was smaller this time, and while there was no leaf, comprehending the Intent here was much easier.


    Zhao Feng saw a non-human at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm sitting on a small crack in the vines, but Zhao Feng wouldn''t give up so easily. From the leaf he just obtained, it seemed as if anything here was a precious treasure.


    There were definitely more treasures and resources here. Zhao Feng started to take action and searched around the vines, managing to find two more leaves in some cracks.


    "Hmm? Sacred King Earth Ghost?" Zhao Feng glanced toward Sacred King Earth Ghost in a certain corner. A faint ripple of gold light covered his left eye as he saw through the vines and the crystal wall.


    "Quick! Split apart!" Sacred King Earth Ghost said in a rush with a suspicious expression. He held a blade of wind in his hand as he sawed at a yellow fruit. If one looked closely, they would see that this yellow fruit had already split apart from the vines, and it was only hanging onto the vines due to one last shred of crystal.


    At this moment, Sacred King Earth Ghost was continuously sawing through this last shred of crystal. Once the crystal broke, the yellow fruit would fall.


    It was as this moment in time that Zhao Feng flew over.


    "Sacred King Earth Ghost, let me give you a hand!" Zhao Feng said with malicious intentions.

 1088 Intense Competition

    Chapter 1088 - Intense Competition


    "Sacred King Earth Ghost, let me give you a hand!"


    Sacred King Earth Ghost suddenly stopped cutting the crystal and shook when he heard this.


    "It''s Zhao Feng!" Sacred King Earth Ghost had a complicated expression and didn''t know what to do. He was extremely frustrated; there was just one tiny shred of crystal, but he ¨C a Sacred King ¨C couldn''t even destroy it before Zhao Feng found him.


    "Zhao Feng, what do you want?" Sacred King Earth Ghost''s expression became grim as he asked directly.


    Zhao Feng''s arrival didn''t attract the attention of any other experts. After all, the area was too big, and since the laws here were different and very strong, there were only about ten people present.


    Some had already found their own fortune while others were attracted by the battle between the two Demigods in the sky.


    "I want the fruit in front of you!" Zhao Feng replied honestly.


    "Don''t even think about it!" Sacred King Earth Ghost immediately said. Even if he was wary of Zhao Feng, Sacred King Earth Ghost was willing to bet everything for this yellow fruit.


    "Don''t panic. If we raise the attention of anyone else, this fruit might soon belong to the Demigods!" Zhao Feng said with a faint smile, and Sacred King Earth Ghost immediately stopped attacking the thin shred of crystal. Even if he could cut the crystal, this fruit would not be his unless he could instakill Zhao Feng as soon as he obtained it because Zhao Feng would just spread news about it, and he wouldn''t be able to protect it.


    This was the same for Zhao Feng though. If Zhao Feng obtained the fruit but couldn''t instakill Sacred King Earth Ghost, Sacred King Earth Ghost would spread news, and Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to protect this fruit either.


    Sacred King Earth Ghost believed that Zhao Feng knew this logic as well.


    "What do you want?" Sacred King Earth Ghost asked.


    "We can share the fruit!" Although Zhao Feng really wanted the entire fruit, he knew that it was very unlikely. Even if Zhao Feng took out the God Slaying Arrow and killed Sacred King Earth Ghost, it would attract everyone else''s attention.


    Furthermore, the God Slaying Arrow was Zhao Feng''s biggest card right now. If he used it, Zhao Feng wouldn''t dare to remain behind in the God corpse any longer.


    "Split it?" Sacred King Earth Ghost had an ugly expression. He was a Sacred King, and he was the first time find this fruit, but now he had to split it with an early stage Sacred Lord? He couldn''t accept it, but this was the only method possible or else he would get nothing.


    Although Sacred King Earth Ghost hated Zhao Feng, he really wanted this fruit. If half of the fruit allowed him to touch the domain of Gods, it would be simple to kill Zhao Feng afterward.


    "Fine!" Sacred King Earth Ghost agreed to Zhao Feng''s suggestion.


    Half of the fruit was better than nothing.


    "I''ll cover you. You take the fruit." Zhao Feng told him the plan. The two of them attacking the fruit together would definitely catch the attention of other experts, and it would only become more troublesome.


    "Sure!" Sacred King Earth Ghost paused for a moment before laughing. Sacred King Earth Ghost would feel uneasy if he was the one on guard while Zhao Feng took the fruit.


    "Then start! More and more people are coming in!" Zhao Feng''s eyes were grim as he looked at the entrance, where another two Sacred Lords had entered.


    The Sacred Lords that had fainted outside were slowly recovering their consciousness, and there were also more groups arriving by the crystal that would enter.


    Although there was just a bit over a dozen people present, it would soon become packed. If they didn''t take the fruit quickly, other experts would soon discover them, and everything would turn into a chaotic battle.


    Zhao Feng moved away from Sacred King Earth Ghost and leaned on the enormous vine as he started to comprehend the Intent leaking from it.


    Since he was the cover, Zhao Feng obviously created a lot of noise to mask the disturbance of Sacred King Earth Ghost cutting the crystal.


    Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and released a surge of Intent into the dimension to feel the desolate and forceful power. In an instant, all the sleeping Intent in the air was moved around by Zhao Feng. A dark red whirlpool started to slowly spin around Zhao Feng as the power of invisible Intent merged into his soul.


    "What strong Intent!" Zhao Feng completely concentrated and circulated the Soul Recovery Divine Technique at the same time. A non-human Sacred Lord relatively close to Zhao Feng froze before starting to laugh coldly.


    "That brat really doesn''t want to live, does he? He''s absorbing all the Intent in a frenzy¡­."


    The other Sacred Lords all circulated their Soul Intent to block this power since the Intent was too powerful and profound. One couldn''t help but enter comprehension, and they would forget everything happening in the outside world.


    "I''m pretty sure that this brat won''t be able to leave here anymore!" Another Sacred Lord laughed when they saw Zhao Feng''s actions.


    Zhao Feng''s current actions was the same as a King eating precious herbs meant for Sacred Lords. It wasn''t something that a King could withstand.


    "He''s really not scared of death, is he? But it''s better this way!" Sacred King Earth Ghost laughed at Zhao Feng''s actions. If Zhao Feng''s consciousness accidentally fell into the desolate Intent and completely fell asleep, then the fruit would be his and his alone.


    As the origin of everything, Zhao Feng obviously knew how terrifying this Intent was, but at the same time, he managed to quickly comprehend completely new laws and Intents. This power helped refine Zhao Feng''s soul while another portion of it increased the strength of his Sacred Power.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng activated the God Tribulation Lightning symbols in his Lightning Soul Body in order to make his soul more agile and increase the level of his comprehension.


    Of course, while cultivating, Zhao Feng would also pay attention to what was happening. The two Demigods were locked in a fierce clash because of the fruit. It was because of this that not many experts dared to search for treasures in the sky.


    "Demigod Withered Breath, we get half of the fruit each or else neither of us will get anything!" Demigod Arcane Void threatened. Although he was slightly weaker than Demigod Withered Breath, he didn''t need to defeat him. All he needed to do was interrupt and disturb him.


    "Demigod Arcane Void, you originally had a chance to find other fortune here, but now you don''t!" Demigod Withered Breath''s dim eyes suddenly lit up.


    Demigod Arcane Void paused for a moment and felt that something was wrong.


    Sky Suspension Palace used to be the leader of the cultivation world in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, but the Grand Imperial Hall started to rise, and they formed a lord dynasty with the combination of many other forces, making Sky Suspension Palace fall. However, even now, Sky Suspension Palace was a four-star power and the number two force in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Their foundation was enough to compete against the Grand Imperial Hall if they wanted to.


    Weng~~


    At a certain moment, an old white glove covered in weird talismans appeared on Demigod Withered Breath''s skinny right hand. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby shook and started to gather the instant this glove appeared. Beams of white light filled the air and formed a giant claw that gave off an aura that could suppress Heaven and Earth.


    "Substandard God weapon ¨C Mark of Heaven!" Demigod Arcane Void''s eyes bulged out. If a Demigod had a substandard God item, their battle-power would increase by at least 40-50%.


    Although Demigod Arcane Void was a Demigod as well, he didn''t have a substandard God item.


    After putting on the Mark of Heaven, Demigod Withered Breath waved his right hand, and a burst of white light swept toward Demigod Arcane Void. In an instant, the sky itself seemed to be ripped apart. The power from the attack was enough to shock the world.


    "Not good!" Demigod Arcane Void instantly took out a defensive Heaven-grade weapon and burned a wisp of his Divine Power while using a defensive secret technique.


    "Ring of Heaven and Earth!" Limitless black light appeared around Demigod Arcane Void and formed a black barrier.


    Some of the Sacred Lords below instantly became dazed as they watched a Demigod use a substandard God weapon. Other Sacred Lords that were comprehending the Intent were also interrupted by this extreme power.


    "The power of a complete substandard God weapon!" Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. Only Demigods could use the full power of Substandard God weapons. When they had one, their battle-power was an entire level higher.


    Zhao Feng finally managed to watch a clash between Demigods now, but comprehending the Intent here was far more useful. In just a short period of time, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had increased. However, it had become blurry at the same time, as if he was about to fall into the mountains, the sky, all of Heaven and Earth created by this Intent¡­.


    "The Intent here is too strong!"


    Normal Sacred Lords would have lost their consciousness already if they did what Zhao Feng did. Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly started to spin and gave off a brilliant glow of light, as if it was a work of art.


    After circulating the God''s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng''s mind instantly became clear, and he could comprehend the Intent at a faster rate.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng''s left eye shot out a faint golden light that helped him gain further understanding of the laws and elements.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng felt as if his consciousness had completely merged into this dimension, and he could sense the power of nature very clearly.


    "This brat''s Soul Intent is very strong¡­." Sacred King Earth Ghost wasn''t very far away from Zhao Feng, and he was stunned. Although most people''s attention was attracted by the battle between the Demigods, Sacred King Earth Ghost could obviously sense Zhao Feng''s current state.


    After using the power of the God''s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng''s mind was abnormally clear, and he started to inspect the situation of the outside world once more.


    Demigod Arcane Void wasn''t Demigod Withered Breath''s match anymore, so he was completely on the defensive, but Demigod Withered Breath was unable to do anything to Demigod Arcane Void within a short period of time.


    Demigod Withered Breath let Demigod Arcane Void leave, then used the Mark of Heaven to attack the fruit.


    Demigod Withered Breath would just turn from offense into defense when Demigod Arcane Void attacked. He placed most of his attention on the fruit.


    Crack!


    The cracks on the red fruit''s crystal shell instantly widened.

 1089 The Little Thieving Cats Actions

    Chapter 1089 - The Little Thieving Cat''s Actions


    Demigod Arcane Void didn''t know what to do after seeing Demigod Withered Breath go on the defensive. If Demigod Arcane Void could manage to defend against Demigod Withered Breath and his substandard God weapon, Demigod Withered Breath could obviously do the same.


    Crack!


    The cracks on the crystal of the red fruit started to become bigger. Demigod Arcane Void was extremely impatient, but he couldn''t do anything. There were only two non-human Sacred Kings present, and they didn''t dare to help Demigod Arcane Void because there were more human experts present.


    "Demigod Arcane Void is nowhere near as strong as Demigod Withered Breath!" Zhao Feng realized. There were obviously differences in strength between Demigods as well, and being the Grand Elder of Sky Suspension Palace, Demigod Withered Breath was an expert only below Demigod Dragon Emperor of the Grand Imperial Hall.


    "If there are no accidents, that red fruit will belong to Demigod Withered Breath!" Zhao Feng slowly said to himself before turning his gaze in other directions.


    At this moment, Zhao Yufei was cultivating in a corner. There was a jade tablet with many rings on it in the crystal wall behind her. These rings slowly moved around and gave off a faint divine aura that merged into Zhao Yufei''s body.


    Weng~


    Zhao Yufei''s flawless body flashed with a faint purple light that caused all the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby to quickly merge into her body.


    "Divine aura?" A late-stage human Sacred Lord close to Zhao Yufei was stunned, but he knew Zhao Yufei''s identity and her bloodline, so he didn''t disturb her.


    "From the looks of it, Yufei has found her own fortune!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Zhao Yufei''s Spiritual Race Bloodline was extremely sensitive toward Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. Although she couldn''t dig out the treasure in the crystal walls, her Spiritual Race Bloodline could still absorb the energy from the crystal jade stone tablet through the walls.


    This jade stone tablet was most likely related to the Spiritual Race in some way.


    Zhao Feng then turned his eyes in the direction of Nan Gongsheng. What made Zhao Feng surprised was that Nan Gongsheng had found a place where he could consolidate his foundation and create a clone. Nan Gongsheng suddenly ended his cultivation, and the power of his Little World projection faded away, revealing a clone that hadn''t been completely created yet.


    "Evil God Mental Thought Body, I''ll leave it to you!" Nan Gongsheng said impatiently, and a purple-and-blood-colored figure flashed from Nan Gongsheng''s body as part of it entered the incomplete clone.


    "Kekeke, let''s start!"


    The eyes of Nan Gongsheng''s clone flashed with a weird purple-and-blood-colored light as it revealed an evil smile.


    Nan Gongsheng''s clone wasn''t complete yet and lacked a lot of Intent, but part of the Evil God Mental Thought Body''s Intent entered the clone and merged with the clone, then released a powerful source of mental energy.


    Boom!


    Nan Gongsheng and his incomplete clone then attacked the giant rock that Nan Gongsheng was cultivating on at the same time. One could see that there were as many cracks on the crystal that Nan Gongsheng and his clone attacked, and within the cracks was a black fruit. This black fruit gave off zero light; it was different from the bright fruits on the vines.


    Bam!


    Nan Gongsheng and his clone both used a wisp of Divine Power.


    "Nan Gongsheng''s comprehension has increased dramatically after coming here, so his overall strength is increasing very quickly!" Zhao Feng analyzed. Furthermore, the Evil God Mental Thought Body was controlling the clone.


    The other experts set their eyes on certain crystals as well, just like what Nan Gongsheng did. This was because they realized that there were weapons or treasures within the crystals, but because the crystals blocked off the aura, no one was certain what kind of item was inside.


    Zhao Feng''s Intent suddenly felt a unique disturbance. This was something that only Zhao Feng could sense.


    "Little thieving cat!" Zhao Feng turned toward the position of the little thieving cat.


    At this moment, the little thieving cat was hidden in the air. Normal people couldn''t see it. In front of the little thieving cat was a large crystal rock.


    Weng~


    A faint layer of gold light covered Zhao Feng''s left eye as he saw through everything. At this instant, Zhao Feng saw what was within the giant rock in front of the little thieving cat ¨C a short black blade and a purple-and-blood-colored crystal.


    Zhao Feng could only see a wavy symbol on the short blade, and the purple-and-blood-colored crystal was connected to the bottom of the crystal rock, as if it was connected to some sort of power.


    "What does the little thieving cat want?" Zhao Feng was puzzled. He knew that little thieving cat had set its eyes on the short black dagger and the purple-and-blood-colored crystal, but both of them were at the very center of the giant crystal rock. There were no cracks on the crystal at all. Even if more than a dozen Demigods teamed up, they wouldn''t be able to break through this giant crystal rock.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat opened its mouth. Only Zhao Feng knew what the little thieving cat meant.


    "Only one chance?" Zhao Feng murmured, but he didn''t understand what it meant.


    A stealthy silver-gray flow of light suddenly appeared from the little thieving cat''s hidden body. This light spun around the little thieving cat, and Zhao Feng saw that the little thieving cat''s figure became more transparent, as if its stealth technique had instantly become several times better.


    From Zhao Feng''s point of view, the little thieving cat wasn''t just hiding in space anymore; it had merged with the laws themselves. If Zhao Feng didn''t use his golden eye ability, he wouldn''t be able to sense the little thieving cat''s existence. He would only be able to sense the little thieving cat''s location with the spiritual pet contract.


    Hu!


    The little thieving cat turned invisible and flashed forward gently without a trace. The next instant, Zhao Feng realized that the little thieving cat had entered the crystal. The little thieving cat was sitting on the purple-and-blood-colored crystal, and its left claw landed on the short black blade.


    "How is this possible!?" Zhao Feng was utterly stunned and almost exited seclusion.


    "What is it?" Sacred King Earth Ghost looked at the giant crystal Zhao Feng was looking at, but he couldn''t see anything.


    Zhao Feng glanced toward Sacred King Earth Ghost. He still hadn''t managed to destroy the shred of crystal, but that was understandable. After all, Sacred King Earth Ghost couldn''t attack carelessly like Demigod Withered Breath in the sky.


    In order to stop others from noticing, Sacred King Earth Ghost had to carefully attack the crystal and didn''t dare to use too much power. In addition, not too much time had passed since the two started working together.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with Sacred King Earth Ghost. He looked at the little thieving cat once more.


    The little thieving cat had somehow managed to enter the giant crystal! However, the little thieving cat''s body couldn''t move at all ¨C it was completely stuck in the giant crystal rock.


    The little thieving cat''s eyes turned toward Zhao Feng. Although it couldn''t speak, Zhao Feng could sense what the little thieving cat wanted to say; it was showing off to Zhao Feng. A dark glow of light appeared from the little thieving cat''s body once more and flowed the short black blade through its left paw.


    Weng~~


    The wavy symbol on the short black blade instantly gave off a silver light.


    "You better watch out or you''ll be stuck there forever!" Zhao Feng cursed. He realized that he had underestimated the little thieving cat once again. He didn''t expect it to have hidden such a powerful and mysterious skill. This goddamned pet never thought about what it could do for its master and instead only thought for itself.


    The short black blade that the little thieving cat wanted was definitely not simple. One had to know that the little thieving cat already had the Shadow Kill Imperial Dagger and the Dark Golden Dragon Snake Whip.


    The little thieving cat glanced at Zhao Feng and sent him a message. Only then did Zhao Feng''s expression soften. Zhao Feng then nodded his head and agreed with the little thieving cat''s plan.


    Zhao Feng turned toward the entrance. A total of seven figures had appeared. These seven were Sacred King Feather Spirit, Sacred King Xihai, and Sacred King Green Light''s group.


    "Zhao Feng!" Sacred King Xihai immediately sensed Zhao Feng''s existence. After all, Zhao Feng''s position was extremely eye-catching, and he radiated a powerful mental energy disturbance that tossed and turned the Intent of Heaven and Earth.


    "We''re late. The treasures that are easy to be obtained have already been taken away. We should kill him right now!" Sacred King Feather Spirit inspected his surroundings before saying.


    "Let''s go!" Sacred King Xihai inspected his surroundings as well and agreed with Sacred King Feather Spirit. Although the other Sacred Lords wanted the find treasures or cultivate, they didn''t dare to go against three Sacred Kings.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A total of seven people charged toward Zhao Feng.


    "Sacred King Earth Ghost, those guys from the Grand Imperial Hall are charging toward us! You need to stop and distract them with me!" Zhao Feng messaged Sacred King Earth Ghost.


    "What? You even offended the Grand Imperial Hall?" Sacred King Earth Ghost was speechless, but what Zhao Feng said was correct. They had to distract them or else the fruit would be exposed.


    "Zhao Feng, you have nowhere you can run to this time. Today, you shall die!" Sacred King Feather Spirit revealed a cocky smile as he charged over.


    Hu!


    Zhao Feng immediately stopped cultivating and started to fly into the distance. The seven upper echelon members of the Grand Imperial Hall immediately started to chase after him as if they were bent on killing Zhao Feng.


    Sacred King Earth Ghost suddenly appeared after Zhao Feng directed the seven away.


    "May I ask why Brother Feather Spirit and Brother Xihai are chasing after Little Friend Zhao?" Sacred King Earth Ghost suddenly asked, and those from the Grand Imperial Hall instantly turned around and looked at Sacred King Earth Ghost in shock.


    They knew that there was a feud between the Earth Demon Cult and the Hall of Gods, but Sacred King Earth Ghost was now speaking for Zhao Feng?


    "It''s like this; when my team arrived, we combined forces with Zhao Feng''s group in order to obtain the treasures¡­" Sacred King Earth Ghost had to explain. He and Zhao Feng did indeed work together for the fruit, but Sacred King Earth Ghost was the Grand Elder of the Earth Demon Cult, and the Earth Demon Cult was one of the top Demonic Dao forces in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Most importantly, they were allies with Nine Darkness Palace.


    While these three Sacred Kings were upper echelon members of the Grand Imperial Hall, they didn''t represent the Demigods of the Grand Imperial Hall, and they didn''t act very forceful toward Sacred King Earth Ghost.


    "Sacred King Earth Ghost, this brat Zhao Feng blackmailed us ¨C members of the Grand Imperial Hall ¨C and he''s the culprit behind the death of the Thirteenth Prince¡­." Sacred King Feather Spirit slowly told Sacred King Earth Ghost about Zhao Feng''s crimes. He believed that, as long as they revealed their decisiveness to kill Zhao Feng, the Grand Elder of the Earth Demon Cult would retreat.


    However, at this moment Zhao Feng didn''t even care about what the members of the Grand Imperial Hall were talking about with Sacred King Earth Ghost. Instead, he split out part of his consciousness to inspect what the little thieving cat was doing.

 1090 Change of the Vines

    Chapter 1090 - Change of the Vines


    At this moment, the little thieving cat''s body was completely stuck in the crystal and unable to move, but a dark silver-gray flow of light flowed out from its body and entered the short black dagger through its paws.


    Weng~~ Weng~~


    The wavy symbol on the short black dagger flashed with silver and became brighter. At a certain point, the short black dagger trembled slightly within the crystal.


    Zhao Feng was instantly stunned. Even though the little thieving cat had somehow entered the crystal, it was unable to move, and yet the short black blade managed to tremble slightly. What made Zhao Feng even more surprised was that the crystal around the short black blade was instantly sliced apart.


    One had to know that the crystals in the God corpse contained the God''s physical force and Divine Power. Even if the continent''s Demigods teamed up, they would be unable to break it. However, at this moment, just a slight tremor from the short black blade could cut the crystal, and now that the crystals were cut apart, the little thieving cat''s paws were able to grip the short black blade.


    What happened next made Zhao Feng utterly speechless; the little thieving cat gripped the short black blade and put some faint power into it, and a small hole was formed in the giant crystal rock.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat moved around the small hole smugly, then rubbed the short black blade with love.


    "The weapon that the little thieving cat obtained seems to be able to cut through the crystals with ease. Doesn''t that mean I can obtain any of the treasures in this place that I want?" Zhao Feng was in utter disbelief.


    The God corpse contained treasures that could make anyone go crazy, but they were all trapped inside the crystals. Even Demigods couldn''t anything to these crystals, but at this moment, the little thieving cat had already used the short black blade to pick through a crystal rock. No one would able to detect this unless a Demigod actively used their Divine Sense to sense through the rock. However, there were only two Demigods present, and they were fighting each other in the air, so it was impossible for them to find the little thieving cat hidden in a random rock.


    The little thieving cat was tired after obtaining the short black blade, but it was overjoyed as well. Its gaze then turned toward the purple-and-blood-colored crystal beneath its feet.


    Ding! Shu~~


    A surge of dark gray came from the little thieving cat''s paws as it used the short black blade to cut through the crystal and slowly reveal the purple-and-blood-colored crystal.


    Zhao Feng didn''t know what the purple-and-blood-colored crystal was, but if the little thieving cat liked it, it couldn''t be bad.


    Ding! Ding!


    Since part of the purple-and-blood-colored crystal was hidden underground, the little thieving cat had to dig deep.


    Sacred King Earth Ghost''s voice sounded at this moment.


    "Zhao Feng, is Sacred King Feather Spirit telling the truth!?" Sacred King Earth Ghost roared out loud.


    In reality, he felt extremely helpless because he didn''t really dare to go against Sacred Kings from the Grand Imperial Hall, but he had to help Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng was about to be killed by Sacred King Feather Spirit and company, he would definitely expose the secret of the fruit to buy time.


    Sacred King Earth Ghost knew that the issue wasn''t actually a huge deal after hearing about it from these Sacred Kings of the Grand Imperial Hall. However, Sacred King Earth Ghost could sense Sacred King Feather Spirit''s decisiveness to kill Zhao Feng from his voice.


    "Zhao Feng, hurry up and apologize to them and give them some resources as repayment¡­." Sacred King Earth Ghost messaged Zhao Feng privately.


    The Sacred Kings from the Grand Imperial Hall just wanted face. As long as Zhao Feng apologized sincerely with Sacred King Earth Ghost backing him up, these Sacred Kings from the Grand Imperial Hall might let go of Zhao Feng.


    "Sacred King Feather Spirit, I already gave you face, but you didn''t take it!" Zhao Feng''s expression paused before he replied.


    "What?" Sacred King Earth Ghost almost fell down. Not only did Zhao Feng not follow his advice, he became even cockier instead.


    At the same time, Sacred King Earth Ghost felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, placating these guys from the Grand Imperial Hall and obtaining the fruit was the most important task right now, but Zhao Feng didn''t seem to want to resolve his feud with them.


    "Sacred King Earth Ghost, it''s not a matter of us not giving you face anymore. We will kill this shameless thief!" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s expression was extremely grim, and the Sacred Kings and Sacred Lords behind him felt humiliated.


    "Let''s see how you''ll try to escape this time!" Sacred King Feather Spirit laughed wickedly, and the other two Sacred Kings immediately stood forward as well. The three Sacred Kings all released the projections of their Little Worlds and caused space to become chaotic in order to prevent Zhao Feng from using the Misty Spatial World to escape.


    Zhao Feng had a slightly impatient expression as he floated in the air, but part of his mind was still focused on the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat had managed to completely dig out the purple-and-blood-colored crystal. Dark red lines seemed to connect to the bottom of it; the little thieving cat immediately cut the lines off with the short black blade, then swallowed the large purple-and-blood-colored crystal.


    Boom!


    The entire dimension started to shake, and the giant vine started to move. A terrifying Intent was released alongside the shaking of the vines. Some experts that were using this Intent to cultivate instantly felt their consciousness become blurry and fell asleep.


    The power of Sacred King Feather Spirit and company was instantly slashed apart as well.


    "What''s going on?" The two Demigods in the air were shocked. The fruit that they were fighting over was created by these vines, and now the vines were moving.


    "Something''s wrong!" Demigod Withered Breath had a grim expression.


    Bam!


    Demigod Withered Breath burned his Mystic Light Sacred Power and attacked the tattered crystal with full force.


    Bam! Crack!


    The crystal around the red fruit instantly shattered after a few attacks from Demigod Withered Breath. The red fruit released a scorching Intent that burned Heaven and Earth; even the souls of both Demigods hurt.


    "How is this possible? Why did it break so easily¡­?" Demigod Withered Breath couldn''t believe it. He spent a lot of effort at the beginning and couldn''t break the crystal at all, but now it easily shattered.


    However, he didn''t have much time to think about it. He immediately took the red fruit.


    Boom!


    The vines started to tremble even more the instant the red fruit was picked.


    Elsewhere, Nan Gongsheng was attacking some crystal as well when he felt like the crystal had become much weaker, and he soon managed to dig out the black fruit from the crystal.


    At the exact same moment in time, the experts that were searching for treasures were able to destroy the crystal extremely easily and obtain the treasures within.


    Sacred King Feather Spirit and company were about to attack Zhao Feng, but they started to hesitate because the crystal walls didn''t seem to be so tough anymore. It was a lot easier to obtain the treasures hidden within the walls.


    "Quick! The strength of the crystal has decreased dramatically. Attack the fruit on the vines!"


    "What''s going on? I feel as if the Divine Power hidden within these crystal walls is slowly fading away!"


    Chaos broke out as all the experts became puzzled. The expressions of the two Demigods fighting in the sky shook as they each attacked a layer of crystal over some fruits in front of them.


    Peng! Boom!


    Demigod Withered Breath was able to obtain a fruit very quickly.


    "Hmm? The Intent within this fruit is a lot weaker?" Demigod Withered Breath was slightly puzzled.


    On the other side, Demigod Arcane Void also managed to obtain a fruit, but he felt that this fruit was not as good as the red fruit that Demigod Withered Breath obtained earlier.


    "Could it be that the power within the fruits is also disappearing?" Demigod Withered Breath said after thinking for a while.


    The Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings below followed suit and started to attack the fruits on the vines, but the next instant, the crystal around the giant red vine shattered.


    Weng!


    The entire dimension trembled as limitless Intent surged out from the vines like a beast. It even managed to twist Heaven and Earth. The souls of many experts that were trying to obtain fruits shattered from this sudden burst of Intent.


    Even the two Demigods in the sky quickly retreated and didn''t dare to approach the giant vine.


    "Run!"


    "This vine has revived!"


    Some of the severely injured Sacred Lords were so scared that they immediately ran away.


    Whoosh!


    The giant vine twisted in the air and released a desolate aura as countless vines swept across the dimension.


    "Arghhhh¡­!" An early-stage Sacred Lord that was running away was hit by the sweeping vines and immediately killed.


    Boom! Boom!


    The crystals at the top started to shatter and fall down. Even the inner region of the crystal rocks started to cave in as if it was about to crumble.


    "Run! This vine is too terrifying!"


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All of the experts in the dimension started to retreat. Nan Gongsheng also chose to retreat after obtaining the black fruit. Zhao Feng also exited seclusion and quickly left.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng turned into a scarlet bolt of lightning and flew toward the exit.


    "Let''s leave this place first!" Sacred King Feather Spirit had an ugly expression. They only just arrived, and this place suddenly turned into a forbidden area before they could find any treasures.


    "Don''t let that brat get away!" Sacred King Green Light had a deadly expression.


    "My fruit!" Sacred King Earth Ghost hesitated, but in the end, he decided to leave. Right now, even Demigods were forced to retreat. He was just a measly Sacred King, so how could he dare to go further in?


    Elsewhere, the little thieving cat, who was still inside the crystal rock, used the short black blade to cut through the soft crystal easily.


    Whoosh!


    The little thieving cat turned into a dark silver streak of light and merged into the air. The next instant, a black light flashed next to the fruit that Sacred King Earth Ghost had been attacking and cut off the crystal. The red fruit then disappeared.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    All of the experts managed to escape outside, but no one left yet. The Divine Senses of the two Demigods entered the crystal item and started to inspect the situation inside. However, no one saw a silver-gray light pass through the crystal walls and escape.


    Weng~~


    A faint layer of gold covered Zhao Feng''s left eye as he inspected the situation within. The countless fruits and vines started to twist in the air and slowly become transparent before completely fading away.


    The divine aura within the walls also started to fade. The power of the weapons and herbs within the crystals was also fading away and dropping in terms of quality.

 1091 A Bigger Danger

    Chapter 1091 - A Bigger Danger


    "The power that''s disappeared has gone underground!" Zhao Feng''s eyes saw through everything.


    The power that had gone underground was moving through the crystal walls and heading in the direction behind Zhao Feng. That direction seemed to be¡­ the head of the God corpse!


    "This is too weird!" Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed together. After the vines inside the giant crystal recovered, all the energy disappeared, including all the treasures inside the crystals. What was taking away all this power?


    Zhao Feng couldn''t imagine what would happen after all this power gathered together.


    "The aura outside the crystal is also slowing disappearing!" someone said, and everyone''s gaze instantly turned away from the crystal and started to inspect their surroundings. The divine aura and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the air around the crystal was indeed fading away. At the same time, the quality of the herbs and treasures sealed within the crystals was also decreasing.


    "Could it be that all the power inside the God corpse is slowly disappearing?" This question surfaced in everyone''s mind.


    "We need to take action quickly and find some treasures before all the fortune in the God corpse disappears!" a human Sacred Lord immediately said. This Sacred Lord then led his group and left.


    The speed at which the power disappeared was different in different places. For example, the power of everything within the large crystal was fading away very quickly, but the speed at which the energy outside the crystal disappeared was very slow. Some places might not have changed at all yet.


    The two Demigods in the sky had grim expressions.


    "What happened?" Demigod Withered Breath murmured. He believed that, with the terrifying power fading away, something would soon happen.


    Whoosh!


    Demigod Arcane Void was the first of the two to leave. After all, he already tried stopping Demigod Withered Breath inside the crystal dimension. Now that there was no fortune remaining, if Demigod Withered Breath teamed up with the other human experts present, it would cause a lot of trouble for him. Demigod Arcane Void led some non-humans and flew in a certain direction; he could obviously sense that this was the way the power was flowing.


    With Demigod Arcane Void''s departure, more non-humans decided to leave. Sacred King Roaring Sky stood there and hesitated for a while; he really wanted to kill Zhao Feng, but the human Demigod was still present, so he didn''t dare to do anything and could only leave in anger.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s go as well!" Nan Gongsheng persuaded. He had obtained a black fruit inside and was considered relatively lucky in comparison to the others.


    "Hmph, where do you think you''re going?" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s cold harrumph sounded from behind Zhao Feng and company.


    "Hand over everything that you obtained!" Sacred King Green Light had a grim expression. From their point of view, if it wasn''t because of Zhao Feng being present, they wouldn''t have charged up to him, and they might have been able to find some treasures. Now that the giant crystal had been destroyed, they obviously wouldn''t let Zhao Feng just leave.


    Some of the Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings nearby that saw this immediately left.


    "What did Zhao Feng do to offend the Grand Imperial Hall?"


    "That''s three Sacred Kings and four Sacred Lords!"


    Some Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings were surprised. With the composition of Sacred King Feather Spirit''s group, even the group from Sky Suspension Palace didn''t dare to offend them unless Demigod Withered Breath came with them.


    "Brother Feng, what should we do!?" Zhao Yufei was slightly impatient. Although her Mystic Light Sacred Power and Intent had increased, she hadn''t fully consolidated it yet and had no chances of winning.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s settle the feud between us!" Sacred King Earth Ghost also stood forward. He was extremely frustrated at not obtaining the fruit. If it wasn''t because Zhao Feng had offended the Grand Imperial Hall members, forcing Sacred King Earth Ghost to stop the process of obtaining the fruit, he might have obtained it.


    If the three Sacred Kings from the Grand Imperial Hall wanted to kill Zhao Feng, Sacred King Earth Ghost didn''t need to be scared of joining in as well. If Zhao Feng used his replica God Slaying Arrow, it wouldn''t be as much of a problem for them. Even if Zhao Feng had a real God Slaying Arrow, he wouldn''t be able to unleash its full power. With the combined force of four Sacred Kings and a bunch of Sacred Lords, they should be able to block it.


    Furthermore, Sacred King Earth Ghost also had a group with him that included several Sacred Lords from the Earth Demon Cult.


    "Sacred King Earth Ghost?" Sacred King Feather Spirit paused for a moment. Sacred King Earth Ghost was on Zhao Feng''s side inside the giant crystal, but now he was switching sides?


    "I was just momentarily working with this brat. Now that we''ve come out, our cooperation has obviously come to an end!" Sacred King Earth Ghost revealed a wicked and evil smile, and the three Sacred Kings from the Grand Imperial Hall nodded their heads. From their point of view, Zhao Feng would be unable to escape even if he grew wings, so an extra Sacred King Earth Ghost wouldn''t do too much either way.


    "Even the Earth Demon Cult is involved!"


    "I heard that Zhao Feng had a feud with the Earth Demon Cult when he was chasing after Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss."


    Some of the human Sacred Lords discussed as they prepared to watch the show.


    Grand Elder Demigod Withered Breath glanced at Zhao Feng, then led the experts of Sky Suspension Palace and left. They went in the direction where the power within the God corpse was gathering. Although Demigod Withered Breath felt that something was off, he had to give it a look.


    "No one can save you now!" Sacred King Feather Spirit laughed and said after seeing the Sky Suspension Palace group leave.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng and company were facing four Sacred King experts and several Sacred Lords. This combination was enough to destroy a three-star superpower in the continent zone relatively easily.


    Nan Gongsheng''s expression changed for the first time. Although they would be at a disadvantage against three Sacred Kings, they would still be able to fight back if they took out all their hidden cards. However, they were now facing four Sacred Kings and a bunch of Sacred Lords. Even Nan Gongsheng didn''t feel there was much hope, but he still instinctively looked at Zhao Feng, and he saw a calm expression.


    Nan Gongsheng''s expression shook. How could Zhao Feng act so calmly in such a dire situation as if nothing had happened? What else did he have up his sleeves?


    "Hmph, he''s just pretending to be calm!" Sacred King Feather Spirit looked at Zhao Feng and mocked.


    Weng~~ Hu!


    The four Sacred Kings instantly released a strong surge of Intent that merged into the air and locked onto Zhao Feng and company. This stopped Zhao Feng and company from using the Misty Spatial World to escape.


    Zhao Feng spoke right as the four Sacred Kings were about to take action.


    "My helper is here!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile.


    "Helper?" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s expression froze. Zhao Feng had a helper?


    "Hmph, who would be able to save you at this moment?" Sacred King Green Light mocked. There were three Sacred Kings from the Grand Imperial Hall and the Grand Elder of the Earth Demon Cult present. Apart from Sky Suspension Palace or a Demigod expert, no one in the continent zone would be able to save Zhao Feng right now, and according to what they knew, Zhao Feng had no relationship with Sky Suspension Palace or any Demigods.


    Hu!


    A golden figure flew out from a certain pathway at this instant.


    "Kun Yun!" Sacred King Feather Spirit immediately exclaimed, and the expressions of the other three Sacred Kings froze. They had obviously heard of Kun Yun before; apparently, he was the Demigod Kun Yun revived.


    "I didn''t expect Zhao Feng to have connections with Kun Yun!"


    "Kun Yun isn''t simple!"


    Some of the spectating Sacred Lords nearby were also stunned. Kun Yun used to be a Demigod, and even the Grand Imperial Hall wouldn''t want to offend a Demigod for no reason, let alone three Sacred Kings that couldn''t represent the entire Grand Imperial Hall.


    "It''s him!?" Nan Gongsheng also froze. He finally understood why Zhao Feng was so calm. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng had already messaged Kun Yun long ago.


    At this point in time, Kun Yun was now a Sacred King, but in terms of true strength ,he was probably the strongest Sacred King in the lord dynasty. If Kun Yun joined their group, they wouldn''t need to be scared of the enemies ahead.


    Zhao Yufei also let out a breath.


    "You''re finally here!" Zhao Feng looked at Kun Yun. Zhao Feng had sensed that Kun Yun was nearby as soon as they came out of the crystal dimension after using the token. That was why Zhao Feng wasn''t in a rush to leave.


    "All of you can fuck off! I''ll see who dares to harm him!" Kun Yun flew over and instantly released a powerful physical force. The Intents of the four Sacred Kings were instantly dispersed.


    "Senior Kun Yun, I am an Elder of the Grand Imperial Hall. Zhao Feng blackmailed the Grand Imperial Hall and killed the Thirteenth Prince¡­" Sacred King Feather Spirit revealed a respectful expression as he started to explain.


    "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Did you not hear me tell you to fuck off!?" Kun Yun roared impatiently, and the expressions of the four Sacred Kings became ugly. Although Kun Yun was a Sacred King like them, the pressure that Kun Yun was currently putting on them was extremely strong.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He felt extremely weird as he looked at the impatient Kun Yun. He originally figured that Kun Yun would only help him handle the danger, and yet here he was yelling at a bunch of Sacred Kings from the Grand Imperial Hall and not giving them any face at all for his sake.


    Just as Zhao Feng was pondering, another figure flew out of the pathway that Kun Yun came from.


    Boom!


    A terrifying Intent caused Heaven and Earth to shake, and the hearts of all the experts present dropped as they felt their bloodlines and Sacred Power become suppressed.


    "A non-human Demigod!" a Sacred Lord nearby exclaimed.


    "Kun Yun, where do you think you''re running to?" the non-human Demigod roared, causing the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to shake. His expression suddenly froze for a moment after seeing Zhao Feng next to Kun Yun, then he started to roar with laughter.


    "You must be Zhao Feng!" This non-human Demigod looked at Zhao Feng with killing intent.


    "Demigod Ferocity!" Zhao Feng''s eyes bulged out as he swallowed his spit.


    He finally understood why Kun Yun was acting so impatiently; a Demigod was chasing after him!


    However, what really frustrated Zhao Feng was that the Demigod chasing after Kun Yun was Demigod Ferocity. If Zhao Feng had known this was the case, he would have just run away with Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei after exiting the crystal. Now, the danger in front of them was even worse.

 1092 Pursuit of a Demigod

    Chapter 1092 - Pursuit of a Demigod


    "You must be Zhao Feng!"


    The non-human Demigod looked at Zhao Feng with killing intent, but he didn''t make any rash movements because there were many human experts present. He knew the Sacred Kings from the Grand Imperial Hall as well. If all these human experts teamed up, Demigod Ferocity wouldn''t be able to do anything to Zhao Feng and Kun Yun, and he would have to leave.


    After all, a Demigod was just an extra-powerful Sacred King. The only difference was that they had touched the domain of Divine Power or that their Intent had reached the level of a True God.


    "Zhao Feng, you have a feud with Demigod Ferocity?" Kun Yun paused before looking at Zhao Feng.


    "Kun Yun, don''t even think about getting any rewards this time!" Zhao Feng said in a cold manner.


    Kun Yun felt extremely helpless; he didn''t know this would happen. Although Kun Yun had obtained a lot of fortune within the God corpse, none of it solved his problem of becoming a God, so Kun Yun badly needed the resources that Zhao Feng had.


    The human Sacred Lords nearby felt that the situation was becoming bad and started to gather together. Only Sacred Kings would be able to fight back against this non-human Demigod, but luckily, there were several human Sacred Kings present, and three of them were from the Grand Imperial Hall. Therefore, almost all of the human Sacred Lords started to gather toward the Grand Imperial Hall''s group in order to seek protection.


    The three Sacred Kings and Sacred King Earth Ghost in front of Zhao Feng started to think. They could obviously tell that Demigod Ferocity had a feud with Zhao Feng, but since they were all humans, they should team up and fight against Demigod Ferocity together. However, if they did that, it would mean helping Zhao Feng. Furthermore, after helping Zhao Feng get rid of the danger, they wouldn''t dare to take action against him.


    "Retreat!" Sacred King Feather Spirit led the group and started to move away from Zhao Feng.


    "The Grand Imperial Hall has a feud with Zhao Feng¡­ they''re planning to give him up!"


    "So what? As long as we can survive, everything''s okay. That''s a non-human Demigod! We need to rely on the power of the Grand Imperial Hall!"


    The nearby human Sacred Lords obviously knew what the Sacred Kings of the Grand Imperial Hall were thinking. Although they thought that humans should team up at this moment and fight against the non-humans, they didn''t dare say that to the Sacred Kings of the Grand Imperial Hall.


    "Hehe, the Grand Imperial Hall really knows what''s good for them!" Demigod Ferocity laughed gruesomely. When he arrived, he could tell that there was a problem between Zhao Feng and the experts of the Grand Imperial Hall. However, from the looks of it, this problem was much bigger than he thought. At the critical moment, the Grand Imperial Hall actually gave up on Zhao Feng and company.


    "You two of you can go die!" Demigod Ferocity suddenly stepped forward.


    Boom!


    Heaven and Earth shook as limitless Intent started to circulate, and a terrifying wisp of Divine Power exploded in the air. Demigod Ferocity instantly arrived before Kun Yun and Zhao Feng and released a devastating pressure against them.


    Bam!


    Golden light flashed around Kun Yun''s body as mysterious golden talismans radiated a terrifying physical power that filled the sky.


    Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng weren''t Demigod Ferocity''s match. Although they bore less pressure and aura, they felt like they were in a swamp while being crushed by a mountain. It was extremely hard for them to even breathe.


    "This is a Demigod expert!" Zhao Feng activated the Blood Devil Sun bloodline and the Sacred Lightning Body as he barely managed to speak. Although the trio had made improvements within the crystal dimension, that was only in terms of Intent. They still felt infinitely small against the pressure of a Demigod.


    "Run!" Zhao Feng immediately said.


    Weng~~


    Two powers spread from Zhao Feng''s back. One was black and chaotic while the other was purple and profound. Zhao Feng used the power of his two Little World projections in order to fight back against the pressure of this Demigod.


    Zhao Yufei obviously knew that Demigod Ferocity was only targeting Kun Yun and Zhao Feng, but she wouldn''t leave Zhao Feng.


    Hu~


    Zhao Yufei''s body started to burn, and she seemed to turn into a meteor that moved the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby.


    "Dammit!" Nan Gongsheng felt helpless. Although Demigod Ferocity''s targets were only Kun Yun and Zhao Feng, he couldn''t separate from Zhao Feng or else he would have the face the experts from the Grand Imperial Hall alone.


    Weng~~


    A chaotic purple divine light also surged out from Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    The trio released a total of four Little World projections. The power was enough to make older Sacred King experts retreat.


    Boom!


    Part of Demigod Ferocity''s Intent was pushed aside by these four powerful Little Worlds, and Kun Yun instantly felt a lot better as he faced Demigod Ferocity at the front.


    "Sky Sealing Palm!" Kun Yun activated his physical strength and slowly thrust out several dozen palms.


    Hu! Hu!


    The several dozen golden palms merged into Heaven and Earth and seemed to completely disappear, but in reality, the power of this palm technique hit Demigod Ferocity''s invisible Intent and sealed part of its power. At the same time, it also cut off the connection between Demigod Ferocity and his Intent.


    "Go!" Kun Yun followed Zhao Feng and company and tried to escape using this chance.


    "Hmph, none of you should even dare to think about running away this time!" Demigod Ferocity was slightly surprised. The combined forces of these four actually blocked his Intent. However, he was still happy because the other humans hadn''t helped Kun Yun or Zhao Feng. This meant that he could kill Kun Yun and Zhao Feng while rescuing Sacred Lord Myriad Forms at the same time.


    The other Sacred Lords were still dazed after Kun Yun, Zhao Feng, and Demigod Ferocity left.


    "They can actually fight back against a Demigod!?" someone exclaimed in shock. Indeed, Kun Yun and the three Sacred Lords just managed to escape from a Demigod.


    "It''s just because of Kun Yun. Kun Yun used to be a Demigod himself!" An early-stage Sacred Lord didn''t seem to find it very surprising. Kun Yun played a very important role in their escape. Kun Yun''s Intent was very strong, but it was still a bit off compared to a Demigod. However, although the power of Zhao Feng and company was weak, it allowed Kun Yun to let out a breath and unleash the Sky Sealing Palm.


    "Hmph, I don''t believe they can survive the pursuit of a Demigod!" Sacred King Feather Spirit harrumphed. He only felt unwilling that Zhao Feng wasn''t going to die by his own hands.


    "I''ll be leaving now!" Sacred King Earth Ghost felt slightly uneasy and parted with the Sacred Kings of the Grand Imperial Hall. He originally thought that, after teaming up with the Grand Imperial Hall, he would definitely be able to kill Zhao Feng, but such a strange accident happened.


    Although he also thought that Zhao Feng would definitely be killed by the Demigod, Sacred King Earth Ghost felt uneasy that he wouldn''t be able to personally confirm Zhao Feng''s death.


    Zhao Feng, Kun Yun, and company sped through the pathways of the crystal maze.


    "Kun Yun, you take the back!" Zhao Feng said directly. Kun Yun really wanted to curse at Zhao Feng, but he could only do as asked. Of the four present, he was the only one that could block the attacks from the Demigod behind them.


    Kun Yun also found that Zhao Feng and company were becoming stronger very quickly. If the four of them teamed up, they might be able to block Demigod Ferocity, but if any one of the other three died, the situation would turn nasty. Therefore, Kun Yun had to take the back in order for this to not happen.


    "Sky Ferocity Blast!" Mystic Light Sacred Power that contained a wisp of Divine Power surged from Demigod Ferocity''s body.


    Boom!


    The image of a dark brown elephant appeared around him. The giant elephant roared and unleashed a blast that passed through the mental and physical dimensions.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The terrifying blast left behind a line of cracks on the cramped crystal paths.


    "Sky Sealing Eighteen Palms!" Kun Yun roared as he completely unleashed his bloodline power.


    Hu! Hu!


    Golden light flashed around his body. His soul and Demigod Intent merged together as he unleashed eighteen golden palms that thrust toward the wave of destruction.


    "Fucking Kun Yun!" Demigod Ferocity couldn''t help but curse as he felt the power of his attack start to weaken. Kun Yun would use this profound technique every time to weaken the attack before using his powerful body, Intent, and defensive secret techniques to block the attack head-on. If that wasn''t the case, Kun Yun would have been killed long ago.


    Boom!


    Kun Yun managed to take Demigod Ferocity''s attack head-on after it was weakened by his Sky Sealing Palm and the Little Worlds of Zhao Feng and company.


    "Little thieving cat!" Zhao Feng started to communicate with the little thieving cat that was hidden in the Misty Spatial World. Zhao Feng had seen how strong the short black blade was; it could easily slice through the crystals that even Demigods couldn''t destroy. Thus, it definitely had the power to kill a Demigod.


    The little thieving cat immediately waved its paws and shook its head. The little thieving cat signaled that it had used up too much energy and couldn''t use the power of the short black blade. At the same time, it also rejected handing over the short black blade.


    Zhao Feng felt helpless, but according to his inspections, the little thieving cat was indeed feeling weak. It didn''t seem as if it was lying to him.


    Weng~~ Boom! Boom!


    While the attacks from Demigod Ferocity were blocked, Demigod Ferocity soon managed to catch up since he was much faster than them.


    "Let''s attack together and force him back!" Zhao Feng immediately said.


    Attack a Demigod!?


    The hearts of Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei slightly shook, and they felt excited.


    "Sky Trembling Fist!" Kun Yun laughed as he activated his physical strength bloodline. He condensed limitless power into his fists and punched out. A ball of blazing golden light that radiated a heaven-shaking force shot toward Demigod Ferocity.


    "Evil Demon Chaotic Sky!"


    "Spiritual Glory Purple Light!"


    Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei also used their most powerful skills.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng merged the power of his Little World of Wind Lightning and his Physical Force Lightning Domain into his palms and unleashed a bolt of materialized scarlet-golden lightning.


    Zhao Feng condensed this attack to the maximum so that it wouldn''t hit the walls.


    "You dare to fight back?" Demigod Ferocity''s expression froze.


    Whoosh!


    A giant tattered dark red axe appeared in Demigod Ferocity''s hand. Although tattered, it gave off a fierce aura.


    "Sky Ferocity Slash!"


    Demigod Ferocity was slightly angry as he slashed out with the weapon in his hand. Arcs of red light instantly crushed the attacks coming at him.


    He originally thought that he could easily kill Zhao Feng, who was only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but Zhao Feng had two peers with him, and the strength of the trio had exceeded his expectations. Adding on Kun Yun, they were indeed slightly troublesome.

 1093 Head of the God Corpse

    Chapter 1093 - Head of the God corpse


    Demigod Ferocity held his tattered axe and crushed his opponents'' attacks. His giant axe was a substandard God weapon, but it was damaged and not as strong as it could''ve been. However, even though this was the case, the power of this giant dark red axe surpassed Heaven-grade weapons.


    "Sky Sealing Eighteen Palms!" Kun Yun used this technique again using this chance.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Golden light flashed around his body as he unleashed the Demigod Intent within his body and thrust out eighteen golden palm phantoms around Demigod Ferocity. Although Kun Yun''s technique was unable to actually threaten Demigod Ferocity, it could restrict him.


    Sou! Sou!


    Zhao Feng, Kun Yun, and company used this chance to fly away. In order to increase their speed, Zhao Feng summoned Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Myriad Forms World of Wind Lightning!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' eyes instantly changed the environment and supplied Zhao Feng with endless power of pure Wind Lightning.


    Hu~~~


    Zhao Feng''s Scarlet Wings of Lightning flashed with an even brighter light as his speed instantly doubled, and he escaped with Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei.


    Kun Yun''s Intent was extremely strong, so he wasn''t any slower than Zhao Feng.


    "So that''s how it is. You managed to control Sacred Lord Myriad Forms!" Kun Yun could tell that Zhao Feng had used the Dark Heart Seal to control Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. After all, he had once been similarly controlled by Zhao Feng.


    The elephantmen race definitely placed a lot of importance on Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' talent and bloodline. The reason why Demigod Ferocity was chasing after Zhao Feng was to save Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "How dare you use Myriad Forms!?" Demigod Ferocity roared in anger when he saw this, causing the crystal walls nearby to shake.


    "Divine Light Speed!" Demigod Ferocity waved his hands, and wisps of Divine Power surrounded his body.


    Whoosh!


    Demigod Ferocity ignored all resistance after being covered by the divine light. He was like a beam of light as he quickly moved through the crystal maze.


    "Sky Sealing Eighteen Palms!" Kun Yun unleashed a bunch of half-transparent golden palms once more, but this time, they weren''t very effective when they landed against Demigod Ferocity.


    "Kun Yun, die!" Demigod Ferocity raised the ancient tattered axe in his hand and channeled a surge of Mystic Light Sacred Power and Divine Power into it as he slashed out a beam of dark red light.


    Boom!


    A hole appeared in the crystal ceiling. The nearby crystal walls also shook as the beam of dark red light appeared before the group.


    "Not good, Demigod Ferocity''s attacking with full power now!" Zhao Feng felt a terrifying force that could destroy Heaven and Earth even before Demigod Ferocity''s attack arrived. A stinging sensation washed over his body.


    Demigod Ferocity''s attack contained a large amount of Divine Power. The dark red axe in his hands was also unique.


    "Old undead, one day I''ll recover to the Demigod rank¡­!" Kun Yun also felt a life-or-death danger.


    Weng~~


    A golden light appeared from Kun Yun''s body and merged into an old gray wristguard on his left arm.


    "Chaos Sky Protection!" Kun Yun immediately stood forward as the wristguard on his left arm released a glow of gold-and-white light.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A white-and-gold whirlpool slowly appeared around Kun Yun''s body. It blinked with countless talismans and repulsed all the nearby power away.


    Bam!


    Demigod Ferocity''s attack created a heavy thud as it landed on the gold-and-white barrier around Kun Yun.


    Weng~~ Shua!


    The gold-and-white barrier around Kun Yun started to quickly spin and direct the enormous energy from Demigod Ferocity''s power away. However, Demigod Ferocity''s attack was very powerful; the gold-and-white light rotating around Kun Yun started to slow down, as if it was about to stop moving.


    "Substandard God item!" Demigod Ferocity stared at Kun Yun''s wristguard, and greed flashed through his eyes. Although it was "just" a substandard God item, only Divine Power could unleash its full potential. Kun Yun was still just a Sacred King, so he couldn''t use any Divine Power unless it was an emergency.


    "Sky Ferocity Slash!" Demigod Ferocity unleashed a dark red wave once again. He really wanted Kun Yun''s substandard God item.


    At this moment, Nan Gongsheng appeared behind Kun Yun while holding a green-bronze shield with a beast carved on it. Nan Gongsheng circulated a wisp of his Evil Power into the Golden Pond Shield.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    Roars sounded from the green-bronze shield as the head of a beast formed and enveloped the gold-and-white light around Kun Yun.


    Boom!


    Demigod Ferocity''s attack was weakened by Nan Gongsheng''s defensive substandard God item, then completely blocked by Kun Yun''s wristguard.


    "Another substandard God item!" Demigod Ferocity''s heart shook, and he was stunned. He was a Demigod and only had one tattered substandard God weapon, but the Sacred King and late-stage Sacred Lord in front of him each took out a defensive substandard God item.


    It was reasonable for two substandard God items to stop his attack.


    "You won''t be able to escape even if you have substandard God items!" Demigod Ferocity was entering a frenzy. As long as he was able to kill these two, he would be able to obtain two substandard God items.


    Only Divine Power could fully unleash the potential of substandard God items. The Divine Power that Nan Gongsheng and Kun Yun could use was limited, so they obviously couldn''t use their substandard God items forever. Thus, even if they had substandard God items, all they could do was struggle a bit longer.


    However, at this moment, a piercing light passed through Demigod Ferocity''s body and made his soul shake.


    "What?" Demigod Ferocity''s expression changed slightly as he looked behind Nan Gongsheng and Kun Yun at Zhao Feng.


    Beng~~~ Whoosh!


    A giant dark golden arrow that seemed able to pierce through everything shot toward him. Kun Yun and Nan Gongsheng managed to avoid the replica God Slaying Arrow''s attack since Zhao Feng warned them beforehand.


    Boom!


    The replica God Slaying Arrow landed perfectly on Demigod Ferocity''s body and unleashed a terrifying storm of Destruction and God Tribulation Lightning.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng roared. He didn''t expect the replica God Slaying Arrow to do much damage to Demigod Ferocity.


    "Zhao Feng, I didn''t expect you to have such a hidden card!" Kun Yun smiled and said.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng was only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but the power of that arrow was enough to kill late-stage Sacred Lords and heavily injure Sacred Kings. Such a hidden card was a terrifying killing move for normal early-stage Sacred Lords.


    Zhao Feng didn''t say anything. He just used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique as he swept up Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei and ran away.


    In reality, Zhao Feng could have used a real God Slaying Arrow or the Misty Spatial World to escape from Demigod Ferocity. However, the God Slaying Arrow was Zhao Feng''s biggest killing card, so he wouldn''t use it until the last moment. As for the Misty Spatial World, using it would mean returning to the entrance, wasting a lot of time.


    "Right now, we''re heading toward the head of the God corpse. Many humans and non-humans should be gathered there. At that point, Demigod Ferocity shouldn''t dare to do anything to us!" Zhao Feng told the others his plan.


    Kun Yun had also sensed that the power in certain parts of the God corpse was slowly moving toward the direction of the head. However, there was still a long distance from here to the head of the God corpse.


    "We can ask human Demigods for help if we see any on the way!" Zhao Feng continued. Although he wasn''t related to any of the Demigods in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, they were all humans and wouldn''t want to see Zhao Feng and company being chased around by a non-human Demigod.


    A faint ripple of gold covered Zhao Feng''s left eye as he scanned the walls around him. Now that the power within these crystal walls was weakening, Zhao Feng could obviously see through more walls. However, Zhao Feng still didn''t find any powerful human Demigods. He found several human groups, but none of them would have the courage to help him fight against a non-human Demigod.


    Zhao Feng chose routes that avoided as many non-human experts as possible.


    Boom!


    A terrifying pressure appeared behind them once again and quickly closed in on Zhao Feng and company.


    ¡­


    At the same time, in another part of the God corpse, shocking Eye Intent radiated from an elder in gray as black lines appeared on his dim eyes. Next to him were several dozen people in black robes. These black-robed people all had powerful auras; there were even two Sacred Kings.


    A Blood Crystal Yao Spirit glittered with a golden-red light and it had red veins. It stood in front of the several dozen black-robed people. The Blood Crystal Yao Spirit held a shining gold-and-white pearl that contained profound golden talismans within it.


    "You want this substandard God item?" A beam of gold-and-white light shot out from the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit''s gold-and-white pearl toward the group of black-robed people.


    In an instant, all the black-robed people were shattered by the gold-and-white light that radiated a divine aura. However, the next moment, these shattered black-robed people started to reform.


    The left eye of the gray-robed elder suddenly twitched as if it sensed something.


    "Zhao Feng¡­? Don''t die too early!" The elder in gray laughed as he looked at the giant Blood Crystal Yao Spirit in front of him.


    Elsewhere, within a crystal cave near the head of the God corpse, there was a crystalline red lake. Yao fish and monsters made of crystalline red water swam within the lake.


    "Yao fish, die!" Five figures with cold and scary auras stood around the transparent crystalline red Yao fish.


    Boom!


    The five Demonic Dao experts surrounded the Yao fish and unleashed devastating Demonic Dao attacks.


    Wu~~~


    The crystalline red Yao fish screamed in sadness and released a ripple of soul power that made one''s heart shake. It also caused the souls of the Demonic Dao experts nearby to tremble.


    "Move aside!" an elder radiating demonic flames said coldly behind the five.


    "Grand Elder!"


    "Elder You Hai!"


    The five Demonic Dao experts immediately retreated.


    "Nine Darkness Demonic Light!" Demigod You Hai snickered coldly and unleashed a beam of condensed pitch-black Divine Power. This beam of black light brought a terrifying pressure alongside it and pierced through space itself as it skewered the Yao fish.


    The hearts of the five Demonic Dao experts turned cold as they saw the Blood Crystal Yao Fish sink back into the lake. They respectfully looked at Demigod You Hai.


    "Let''s head toward the head of the God corpse!" Demigod You Hai''s eyes glittered with a cold light.


    "It''s unfortunate that I didn''t get to see Zhao Feng. I hope that he''ll manage to arrive at the head of the God corpse alive!" Demigod You Hai revealed a deadly smile.

 1094 Teaming Up

    Chapter 1094 - Teaming Up


    Zhao Feng, Kun Yun, and company sped through a crystal pathway in the God corpse. The pressure from Demigod Ferocity slowly crushed over from behind.


    "Zhao Feng, he''s catching up!" Kun Yun said in a testing tone. Even if he and Nan Gongsheng were able to block Demigod Ferocity''s attacks, they couldn''t use much Divine Power, so it wouldn''t last very long. Being on the defensive the entire time was pointless; as long as Demigod Ferocity kept chasing after them, they would eventually be killed.


    Zhao Feng had a grim expression. If this continued, he would have to use a real God Slaying Arrow, but even if he did, it would only injure Demigod Ferocity at most.


    "Hmm? That human group¡­!" Zhao Feng''s gaze passed through several dozen crystal walls and noticed a group. Zhao Feng didn''t really have any connections with the Sacred Kings of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, and normal Sacred King groups wouldn''t dare to help Zhao Feng fight a non-human Demigod anyway. However, the leader of this group was Grand Elder Dark Screen of Black Screen Corner.


    Zhao Feng felt like Sacred King Dark Screen would likely help him, and Sacred King Dark Screen was one of the stronger Sacred Kings like Sacred King Feather Spirit.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng changed the group''s route slightly.


    ¡­


    "Grand Elder, the superpowers of both Lord Dynasties have gathered at the head of the God corpse We probably won''t be able to get much of a share!" an elder from Black Screen Corner''s group said.


    "There''s nothing absolute in the world!" Sacred King Dark Screen said. Part of the energy in the God corpse was heading toward the head, so there was definitely some sort of secret involved. If Black Screen Corner missed the fortune there, it would be Sacred King Dark Screen''s fault. Besides, Black Screen Corner was a neutral power; they hadn''t offended any forces, so it would be very easy for them to team up with other forces.


    Right at this moment, Sacred King Dark Screen suddenly sensed something and turned around.


    "Zhao Feng?" Sacred King Dark Screen''s Divine Sense passed through the crystal walls and saw Zhao Feng''s figure.


    "Little Friend Zhao is also planning on heading to the head of the God corpse?" Sacred King Dark Screen asked playfully. He was surprised that Zhao Feng managed to survive till now after entering the God corpse, but Zhao Feng still wanted to go to the head of the God corpse? He really didn''t know the word "death," did he?


    "Kun Yun!" Sacred King Dark Screen''s expression changed when he saw the golden figure behind Zhao Feng. Black Screen Corner specialized in assassinations and intel, so they obviously knew a lot about Kun Yun''s history and background. Black Screen Corner already guessed that Zhao Feng and Kun Yun were deeply related, but he didn''t expect them to be together in the God corpse.


    "Senior Dark Screen, please help me!" Zhao Feng said loudly before he arrived.


    "As long as it''s within my ability, I will obviously help you." Sacred King Dark Screen stroked his beard. No matter what, Zhao Feng had given him the extremely precious Purifying Blood Sacred Spirit Pills. Zhao Feng''s group also included an expert like Kun Yun, which meant that the overall strength of Zhao Feng''s group was roughly equal to his, so they could work together.


    As soon as Sacred King Dark Screen finished saying that, Sacred King Dark Screen''s group felt a destructive pressure slowly descend.


    "Senior Dark Screen, please help us deal with this non-human Demigod!" Zhao Feng arrived next to Sacred King Dark Screen and completed his sentence.


    A loud explosion then sounded as Demigod Ferocity appeared before them. His pressure was like a mountain that crushed down on everyone, and they were unable to breathe properly. Some of the weaker Sacred Lords in Sacred King Dark Screen''s group couldn''t even stand.


    "Demigod Ferocity!" a Sacred Lord from Sacred King Dark Screen''s group exclaimed as he fell to the ground.


    Even Sacred King Dark Screen was dazed and in utter shock. He was shocked that Zhao Feng and company were still alive after being chased by a Demigod. Even if Zhao Feng''s group included Kun Yun, they shouldn''t have been to defend against a Demigod!


    "Hehehe, I thought that you might have found some strong helpers, but they''re just a bunch of ants!" Demigod Ferocity looked at Black Screen Corner''s group in disdain. One of the Sacred Lords in the group couldn''t even block his Intent. Only Sacred King Dark Screen somewhat entered his eyes.


    Sacred King Dark Screen''s expression froze when he heard this and spoke in a grim tone, "What plan do you have?"


    Zhao Feng and company had been able to escape to here even after being chased by a Demigod. However, it would be pointless unless Zhao Feng and company had a plan to block this non-human Demigod.


    Kun Yun used to be a Demigod and had now recovered to the Sacred King rank, so his true power was definitely very great. Sacred King Dark Screen also wanted to try fighting a Demigod.


    "Of course I have a plan!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly and took out some black array flags.


    "The Evil Death Yin Spirit Array of Nine Darkness Palace!" Sacred King Dark Screen was extremely knowledgeable and recognized the history of Zhao Feng''s array flags.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng threw over three of the flags to Sacred King Dark Screen, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei. This Evil Death Yin Spirit Array was the one used by the Sacred Lords of Nine Darkness Palace when they tried to kill Zhao Feng a while back, but those four Sacred Lords that tried to kill Zhao Feng were killed instead. Thus, their array obviously became Zhao Feng''s.


    "All of you, retreat!" Sacred King Dark Screen immediately ordered the Black Screen Corner group. Normal Sacred Lords were useless in front of a Demigod.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    The other members of Black Screen Corner immediately retreated several miles after hearing what their Grand Elder said.


    Zhao Feng and company then circulated their Mystic Light Sacred Power and activated the array flags.


    Hu~~


    The four black array flags then stood in the air and burned with a black Ghost Dao power. Then, cries from ghosts and monsters that could make one''s hair stand on end started to appear. In an instant, black light shot into the sky as if the array flags were four giant poles that reached the heavens.


    Weng~~~


    A black-and-blood-colored light covered everything within several miles as a black flaming barrier formed around Zhao Feng, Sacred King Dark Screen, and company.


    "Kun Yun, you''re responsible for stopping the Demigod. We''ll support you!" Zhao Feng immediately said. Only Kun Yun and Sacred King Dark Screen were actually able to stop Demigod Ferocity, and Kun Yun was stronger than Sacred King Dark Screen.


    "Okay!" Kun Yun immediately agreed. He didn''t think that Zhao Feng would have such a profound array. The array could combine the powers of these four people together; killing normal Sacred Kings would be extremely easy. With such a terrifying array, it wasn''t impossible for Kun Yun to face Demigod Ferocity head-on.


    "Senior Dark Screen, you''re going to be the primary controller of this Evil Death Yin Spirit Array!" Zhao Feng told Sacred King Dark Screen.


    The Evil Death Yin Spirit Array was an evil Demonic Dao array. Sacred King Dark Screen would be able to utilize the most power from it.


    "Activate the killing array!" Zhao Feng said. One would immediately know how to use the array as long as they merged their consciousness into it. They all used special techniques and slammed their palms onto the burning black array flags.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Countless monsters with gruesome expressions extended their ghastly white claws from the black-and-blood-colored dimension of hell. These monsters slowly merged and formed a large skeletal ghost monster that covered most of the array.


    "You want to stop me with this shitty array?" Demigod Ferocity revealed a disdainful expression as he released a wave of dark red power.


    "Sky Sealing Palm!" Kun Yun immediately took action and weakened Demigod Ferocity''s attack.


    The group of four then circulated their Mystic Light Sacred Power in a frenzy. The aura of ghosts surged within the array as the skeletal ghost monster reached out with its ghastly white claws to block the dark red blast.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    The entire array shook as all the power within it surged into the sky. The group of four was actually able to block Demigod Ferocity''s attack. Although they managed to stop Demigod Ferocity''s attack last time as well, it was only because of their substandard God items.


    "The Evil Death Yin Spirit Array is known for its stalling abilities, but it can also turn into a killing array. Meanwhile, the ones holding the array flags will be protected by the entire array!" Sacred King Dark Screen had heard of this Nine Darkness Palace array before.


    "Hmph, if you were missing even one person, that array would be useless!" Demigod Ferocity became angry after seeing his attack stopped.


    "Sky Ferocity Slash!" This time, Demigod Ferocity didn''t attack the entire array. Instead, he targeted one person.


    "Yufei!" Zhao Feng could guess who Demigod Ferocity was going to attack before he even did it.


    Weng~~ Boom! Boom!


    A giant blast of dark red power slashed toward Zhao Yufei with a forceful momentum. Even if Zhao Yufei had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race and strong defense, even the body of someone from the Spiritual Race might be completely destroyed by the Divine Power contained in Demigod Ferocity''s attack!


    "Nan Gongsheng, lend me the Golden Pond Shield!" Zhao Feng said directly.


    Nan Gongsheng hesitated for a moment before giving the Golden Pond Shield to Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his left arm, and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms appeared in Zhao Feng''s position to take over the array flag. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng circulated his wings to the maximum and arrived next to Zhao Yufei while holding the Golden Pond Shield.


    A snarling beast head suddenly appeared in the sky. At the same time, the claws of the skeletal ghost monster teamed up with the power of the substandard God item to block Demigod Ferocity''s attack.


    "Sky Shaking Punch!" Using this chance, Kun Yun activated his physical strength bloodline and used a wisp of Divine Power as he punched out. A blazing golden ball of light radiated an Intent that could shake Heaven and Earth as it shot toward Demigod Ferocity.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng managed to block Demigod Ferocity''s attack with the substandard God item and the power of the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array.


    Poof!


    Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as pain coursed through his body. Zhao Feng had no Divine Power, so he was unable to use the true power of substandard God weapons.


    On the other side, Kun Yun''s attack landed on Demigod Ferocity and managed to push the latter back several dozen steps into the crystal walls behind him.


    Although Kun Yun was only a Sacred King, he had high understanding and was able to injure Demigod Ferocity with his Divine Power.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei cried out as her eyes became teary.


    "I''m fine!" Zhao Feng immediately used the Water and Wood of Wind Lightning to heal himself.


    "Great, we managed to injure that old undead!" Kun Yun felt extremely smug. His attacks finally managed to injure Demigod Ferocity for the first time.


    Sacred King Dark Screen had a faint smile. Fighting against a Demigod and managing to even injure him was his best battle record so far in his life.


    The other Sacred Lords from Black Screen Corner hiding in the back took in cold breaths as their eyes bulged out. In their hearts, Demigods were legendary existences ¨C undefeatable. But now, their Grand Elder managed to stall a non-human Demigod and even injure him. This was an incredible feat.

 1095 Escape

    Chapter 1095 - Escape


    "I''m going to kill all of you!" Demigod Ferocity''s enraged voice sounded from behind them.


    Boom!


    Demigod Ferocity released a dark heavy yellow light. This was the power of his Little World projection, and it caused Heaven and Earth to darken as a heavy and strong force descended.


    Hu~~


    Kun Yun immediately released his Little World projection as well, and a golden-green light started to spread from his Little World as it fought back against Demigod Ferocity''s Little World.


    Weng~~~~~


    Zhao Feng immediately activated his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline and Sacred Lightning Body to block the effect of this terrifying Little World projection.


    Zhao Yufei, Nan Gongsheng, and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, who were still busy controlling the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array, had weaker physical bodies. However, they were protected by the array, so the effect on them wasn''t very big.


    "Die!" Demigod Ferocity glared at Zhao Feng with furious eyes. He finally understood that Zhao Feng was the critical person in the group since he was the one giving almost all the orders.


    "Sky Ferocity Slash!" This time, Demigod Ferocity''s attack became even stronger with the help of his Little World.


    Boom! Weng~ Weng~


    A dark red wave of light that seemed able to destroy anything and everything crushed toward Zhao Feng.


    Kun Yun''s body trembled slightly when he saw such a devastating blow.


    "Sky Sealing Eighteen Palms!" Kun Yun immediately used his bloodline power and thrust out more than a dozen golden palms.


    Hu! Hu! Hu!


    Profound golden palms twisted in the air around Demigod Ferocity''s attack, decreasing the speed and power of the dark red wave of light.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei immediately called out. Even though Zhao Feng had a substandard God shield, he probably wouldn''t be able to stop Demigod Ferocity''s terrifying attack.


    The hearts of Sacred King Dark Screen and Nan Gongsheng clenched.


    However, at this moment, Zhao Feng''s voice resounded through everyone''s mind; "Attack Demigod Ferocity at full power. Now get ready¡­!"


    "What!?"


    Everyone''s expressions changed slightly in disbelief. Demigod Ferocity''s attack was about to reach Zhao Feng, but he was telling them to use this chance to attack Demigod Ferocity? Could Zhao Feng have some sort of method to stop such a strong blow from a Demigod?


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng raised the Golden Pond Shield once more as he faced Demigod Ferocity''s attack.


    Weng~~


    A blood-colored crystal pearl appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, and a golden-red divine light shot out of it into the Golden Pond Shield. This blood-colored crystal pearl was the Blood God Crystal he had obtained from the blood-colored pond when he just entered the God Corpse!


    A moment ago, Zhao Feng suddenly remembered that, even though he didn''t have any Divine Power in his own body, he could use Divine Power from external objects.


    Boom!


    Roars started to sound from the green-bronze shield as a large red beast head formed in the air and covered Zhao Feng. This supreme aura that shook Heaven and Earth was the aura of Divine Power!


    "How is this possible? Even that brat has Divine Power?" Demigod Ferocity was stunned and felt incredulous. Kun Yun had Divine Power because he was once a Demigod, and Nan Gongsheng had inherited the power of the Evil God.


    While Demigod Ferocity was in shock, Sacred King Dark Screen controlled the Evil Yin Death Spirit Array, and the giant skeletal ghost monster attacked Demigod Ferocity.


    Nan Gongsheng gripped the black array flag and poured a wisp of his Evil God Divine Power into it without hesitation. A blood-colored flower then glowed around the surface of the skeletal ghost monster''s body.


    At the same time, Kun Yun activated his bloodline and punched out with both his fists as he infused the power of his intent.


    "Fists Shaking Heaven and Earth!" Kun Yun used one of the killing moves of the Sky Shaking Fists and released brilliant beams of golden light. These fist lights seemed to merge into one as they all landed near Demigod Ferocity.


    On the other hand, the giant dark red wave of light landed on the red beast head around Zhao Feng and was about to cut through the red beast head.


    "So strong!" Zhao Feng expected this. Even though he used Divine Power, it wasn''t enough to stop Demigod Ferocity''s attack.


    "Earth Lightning Sacred Armor! Sacred Lightning Protection!" Zhao Feng immediately used his Wind Lightning Technique and Sacred Lightning Body to utilize two powerful defensive secret techniques. The Earth Lightning Sacred Armor was a skill that came from the 9th level of the Wind Lightning Technique.


    Weng~~~


    A dark yellow Sacred Power appeared around Zhao Feng and instantly formed an armor of Wind Lightning that gave off a heavy pressure. At the same time, Zhao Feng merged his Earth of Wind Lightning and physical Sacred Power together, and a golden-white barrier of lightning appeared around Zhao Feng.


    Crack!


    The dark red wave of light broke through the defense of the Golden Pond Shield and landed on Zhao Feng''s two defensive secret techniques.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s figure was thrown back one mile and slammed heavily into the crystal walls.


    At the same time, the all-out offense from Kun Yun and the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array landed on Demigod Ferocity.


    "Get ready!" Sacred King Dark Screen immediately roared out loud. Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms nodded their heads.


    Weng!


    A dangerous aura started to brew in the Evil Death Yin Spirit Array. The black skeletal ghost monster in the array accepted the power from the four controllers and started to expand.


    "Explode!" They then threw their array flags at Demigod Ferocity. The entire array covered Demigod Ferocity while the giant skeleton leapt at Demigod Ferocity and exploded.


    Nan Gongsheng, Kun Yun, and company had already retreated.


    Boom!


    A blast of black light swept out in every direction, and it contained different powers that could destroy Heaven and Earth.


    "Arghhhh¡­!" Demigod Ferocity''s scream sounded in everyone''s ears from far away.


    "It''s not over yet!" In the distance, Zhao Feng was covered in blood as he pulled back a bowstring.


    Weng~~~ Zzzzz!!


    The power of God Tribulation Lightning exited Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body. He also circulated the Divine Power within the Blood God Crystal.


    Beng~~ Whoosh!


    A giant scarlet-golden arrow shot through the air toward the center of the explosion, followed by a storm of destruction.


    Boom!


    A terrifying storm containing the elements of Metal and Lightning alongside the aura of Divine Power caused a second explosion.


    "Run!" Everyone started to run after the replica God Slaying Arrow was shot.


    "Myriad Forms World of Wind Lightning!" Sacred Lord Myriad Forms immediately changed the elements of Heaven and Earth.


    Zhao Feng and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms controlled the elements of Wind and Lightning as they led Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and the Sacred Lords of Black Screen Corner to quickly retreat.


    Sacred King Dark Screen and Kun Yun were extremely quick; they were even faster than Zhao Feng, who was heavily injured.


    As long as they managed to escape a certain distance, the resistance of these crystal walls would make it extremely difficult for Demigod Ferocity to find them again.


    "That should be enough for that old undead to deal with!" Kun Yun laughed smugly before looking at Zhao Feng solemnly. The reason they could so heavily injure Demigod Ferocity and escape was because of Zhao Feng''s hidden cards.


    "As expected of an attack from a Demigod!" Zhao Feng found that, even though he was using his Wood of Wind Lightning, his injuries were barely recovering.


    Whoosh!


    A multi-colored liquid appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    Gulu! Gulu!


    Zhao Feng drank down a bottle of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, and a pure and holy aura instantly spread throughout his body, into his limbs, and finally, into his soul.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng circulated the Wood of Wind Lightning, increasing the rate of recovery for his injuries.


    After opening his eyes, Zhao Feng saw that everyone else was staring at him.


    "Senior Zhao, was that the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey?" A Sacred Lord from Black Screen Corner gulped.


    One had to know that Hundred Origin Sacred Honey increased the chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, and it was also very beneficial for a Sacred Lord''s state of existence, soul, and Mystic Light Sacred Power. However, Zhao Feng used such a precious resource just to heal himself?


    "I admire Senior Zhao''s performance just now!" another Sacred Lord from Black Screen Corner said. They originally hated Zhao Feng for trying to drag them down with him, but Zhao Feng actually managed to severely injure a nonhuman Demigod and escape. This changed their attitudes toward Zhao Feng.


    In a certain cave within the God corpse, Zhao Feng''s group and Sacred King Dark Screen''s group started to rest. Almost everyone was exhausted after the battle.


    Within the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng used the Soul Recovery Divine Technique and Wood of Wind Lightning to recover the injuries to his soul and body. A yellow fruit that was covered in crystal appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. This was a fruit from the vines that the little thieving cat had obtained for Zhao Feng.


    "Let me borrow your weapon!" Zhao Feng said to the little thieving cat, who was resting next to him. The crystal on the fruit was extremely tough, and Zhao Feng couldn''t destroy it.


    In reality though, Zhao Feng just wanted to see the short black blade that the little thieving cat had obtained.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat was very clever and knew what Zhao Feng really wanted to do, but it still handed over the short black blade.


    Zhao Feng carefully inspected the blade, which looked extremely normal and had no aura.


    Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng poured his Mystic Light Sacred Power into the short black blade but didn''t see any reaction.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng''s shoulder and started to wave its paws around.


    "I can''t use it¡­? Divine weapon!?" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically. If it wasn''t for the fact that he had seen the little thieving cat cut through the tough crystal so easily, Zhao Feng wouldn''t believe what the little thieving cat just said ¨C the normal black blade in Zhao Feng''s hands was a legendary divine weapon. One had to know that no true divine weapon had ever appeared in the continent zone before.


    Ding! Ding!


    Zhao Feng held the short black blade and tapped around the yellow fruit, causing a layer of crystal to crumble.


    "It''s this strong even without being activated?" Zhao Feng believed that this was a true divine weapon.


    "I''ll give it to you; help me get rid of all the crystal on the fruit!"


    Zhao Feng rolled his eyes at the little thieving cat before throwing the fruit and short black blade to the little thieving cat.


    Originally, Zhao Feng was very happy that the little thieving cat had helped him obtain a fruit, but now he realized that the little thieving cat had given itself a divine weapon. No matter how precious this fruit was, it definitely wouldn''t be as precious as a legendary divine weapon.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat was full of smiles as it walked toward Zhao Feng and tried to get on his good side.


    Hu~


    The little thieving cat reached into its mouth and took out two more fruits!


    Zhao Feng''s expression turned to shock as he picked up these two fruits. They were indeed fruits from the vines. Zhao Feng stared at the little thieving cat''s stomach. He really wanted to dissect the little thieving cat and see if there were any other treasures inside.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat seemed to know what Zhao Feng was thinking and immediately started to explain that these two fruits were obtained as it was running out at the last moment and that there was definitely only two of them!

 1096 The Use of the Blood God Crystal

    Chapter 1096 - The Use of the Blood God Crystal


    Zhao Feng now had three fruits. Their colors were respectively yellow, blue, and gold.


    Putting aside Zhao Feng or any other early-stage Sacred Lord, the Intent contained within these fruits was extremely attractive to even Demigods. These fruits also contained a source of pure Divine Power that exceeded the Divine Power that Demigods controlled.


    One could tell how rare these fruits were from how intense the fight between Demigod Withered Breath and Demigod Arcane Void was.


    It was because of all that that Zhao Feng was unable to absorb these fruits at his current stage. Normal Sacred Lords that weren''t careful had lost their consciousness just from standing too close to the vines. If Zhao Feng dared to rashly eat a fruit, it was the same as suicide.


    Zhao Feng handed over the three fruits to the little thieving cat and had it pierce a small hole in the surface of the crystal.


    Shua!


    A blood-colored crystal pearl appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    This was the Blood God Crystal. If it wasn''t for the Divine Power within this Blood God Crystal, Zhao Feng wouldn''t have been able to block Demigod Ferocity''s attack earlier. Zhao Feng already had another God Crystal in his Little World of Illusions, but if even the Blood God Crystal ¨C which contained the bloodline of the God corpse ¨C wasn''t able to block Demigod Ferocity''s attack, then the Divine Power of normal God Crystals would probably be even worse.


    Although God Crystals were formed from the power of a true God, they weren''t purely Divine Power; they also contained a large amount of Heaven Earth essence. In addition, Zhao Feng could only circulate the Divine Power externally. He couldn''t actually use it himself and unleash its true power.


    Nan Gongsheng could use Divine Power because of the Evil God Mental Thought Body''s guidance and help whereas Kun Yun could do so because he already had Demigod Intent and the memories of his previous life.


    "Ai¡­" Zhao Feng sighed. He originally planned the absorb the Divine Power within the Blood God Crystal and use it himself, but from the looks of it, using Divine Power wasn''t as easy as he thought. Furthermore, this Blood God Crystal contained bloodline power as well, and the value of this bloodline power wasn''t any lower than Divine Power!


    "Maybe I can use the Blood God Crystal this way¡­?" Zhao Feng''s eyes suddenly twinkled as he thought of a good idea.


    "I can use the bloodline power within the Blood God Crystal to create a second clone!" Zhao Feng said with joy and surprise. The body of his first clone was formed from the Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotus Root, so it was relatively low-level. This was why Zhao Wang needed so much time to cultivate.


    The Spiritual Flesh Snow Jade Lotuses weren''t as valuable anymore due to Zhao Feng''s current level. Now that the second level of the Soul Splitting Technique was complete and he had basically obtained the Eyes of Myriad Forms, all he needed to consider for his second soul clone was the body.


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, and a large amount of blood-colored liquid appeared before Zhao Feng from the Misty Spatial World. The blood-colored liquid also contained a Blood Crystal Yao Spirit that hadn''t fully grown yet. According to Zhao Feng''s senses, this Blood Crystal Yao Spirit already had the power of a King.


    "If I merge this incomplete Blood Crystal Yao Spirit with this blood-colored liquid and use the Blood God Crystal as the source of energy, maybe I''ll be able to create a powerful and unique body¡­!"


    Zhao Feng was extremely excited, and his heart started to shake. This blood-colored liquid, the Blood Crystal Yao Spirit, and the Blood God Crystal all contained a wisp of the God corpse''s bloodline power.


    If raised well, Zhao Feng could even create a body that contained the bloodline of the Giant God Race. One had to know that the Giant God Race was ranked 15th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races ¨C a terrifying race that was ranked even higher than the Spiritual Race. Zhao Wang''s body was many, many times weaker.


    Of course, this was just Zhao Feng''s idea. He didn''t know whether it could actually succeed or not.


    "I need to gather some resources and confirm whether or not this can be done!"


    Zhao Feng started to think. He hadn''t comprehended any proper clone secret techniques, so had very little experience in the aspect of creating such a high-level clone. Thus, he had to leave it for now.


    Zhao Feng then started to consolidate and increase his cultivation.


    Shua! Shua!


    Several precious resources that he had obtained in the God corpse appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. Apart from the effect of the herbs themselves, they all contained a strong source of Yuan Qi and aura of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    Zhao Feng used the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and started to comprehend the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body at the same time.


    The energy contained within the herbs was very useful to Zhao Feng''s body and his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    "My Earth of Wind Lightning will soon be able to reach the late stages, and my Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body is about to be consolidated at the early-stage 6th level¡­."


    Zhao Feng was happy. He had fought against the top experts of both lord dynasties ever since entering the God corpse, and he had eaten many precious resources from the God corpse. This allowed Zhao Feng to completely consolidate his foundation and strengthen it as well.


    Zhao Feng had also absorbed a large amount of Intent from the giant red crystal vines. The battle with Demigod Ferocity also allowed Zhao Feng to completely comprehend the Intent of Heaven and Earth. The power of his Soul Intent had also been refined and purified.


    However, the fight with Demigod Ferocity was too short and dangerous, so Zhao Feng didn''t dare to use the Intent of a Demigod to train himself. Thus, he just copied the scenery of the fight against Demigod Ferocity into his left eye.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s last thought entered into the dimension of his left eye.


    There were a few resources that Zhao Feng was duplicating within the dimension of his left eye apart from the head of the Demigod.


    The imagery within the dimension of his God Eye suddenly turned into the scenery of him and his friends fighting Demigod Ferocity. The scenery within his left eye was extremely realistic, and it would only become stronger as Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent became stronger.


    Even Zhao Feng, who had a clear mind and powerful Intent, felt that everything around him was real. It was as if he had returned to the time when he was fighting Demigod Ferocity. However, there was no sense of urgency or danger this time. Zhao Feng was able to calmly analyze Demigod Ferocity''s skills and usage of power very well.


    "Demigods have perfect control over their power. They can use the power of the outside world and merge it into their own attacks¡­."


    Zhao Feng kept on replaying the scenery of every clash with Demigod Ferocity and inspected the power that Demigod Ferocity summoned with every action. This was the same as a Demigod personally performing and teaching Zhao Feng how they used their Soul Intent and power.


    Zhao Feng''s knowledge and skill started to rapidly rise.


    A day later, within the Misty Spatial World:


    Weng~~~~


    The Earth of Wind Lightning that was surrounding Zhao Feng suddenly released a snow-white light that radiated an invisible forcefield.


    "My Earth of Wind Lightning has finally reached the late stages!"


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness left the dimension of his left eye and returned to his body.


    "My Sacred Lightning Body has also consolidated, so I can try to break through to the next stage at any moment now!"


    Zhao Feng felt the changes within his body and used the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique. His main focus was in the dimension of his God Eye to learn from Demigod Ferocity. Therefore, Zhao Feng''s main improvements were in actual combat and Intent.


    "With my current strength, I will be able to fight against normal Sacred Kings even without using the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flames!"


    Zhao Feng was full of smiles. What he obtained in the God corpse was already very shocking.


    Although the journey was full of dangers, if Zhao Feng had stayed in the Hall of Gods and just entered seclusion, it would''ve been impossible to make such drastic improvements even if he had the duplication ability of his left eye that could create infinite resources.


    However, time was tight right now, so even though Zhao Feng had a bunch of resources, he didn''t have any time to enter comprehension.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s figure appeared in the outside world.


    Zhao Yufei was covered by a layer of power from her Little World, but Zhao Feng could still feel the surge of powerful Mystic Light Sacred Power from it.


    Weng~~ Hu!


    The purple flames around Zhao Yufei spread, and she seemed to become a perfect icy jade goddess from a divine realm.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei had a smile on her face.


    "You''ve reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm!" Zhao Feng was able to see Zhao Yufei''s current cultivation with one glance, and Zhao Yufei nodded her head with a smile.


    Zhao Feng took in a cold breath. The Spiritual Race bloodline was indeed worthy of being ranked 19th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Even Zhao Feng didn''t have such fast cultivation speed.


    On the other hand, Kun Yun only recently became a Sacred King, but he was also able to familiarize himself with the power in his body and obtained some strong secret techniques. As for Nan Gongsheng, he had completely consolidated his strength at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and he radiated a terrifying wicked power that made one''s heart tremble.


    "Zhao Feng, thanks to you, my strength has increased!" Sacred King Dark Screen said with a smile. Sacred King Dark Screen had obviously obtained a lot from the battle against Demigod Ferocity, and it would be of great help to him when he tried to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    If it wasn''t for Zhao Feng, Sacred King Dark Screen wouldn''t have dared to fight against Demigod Ferocity head-on.


    "Then let''s get ready to go. There might be nothing left if we arrive late!" Zhao Feng said with a smile, and everyone ended their cultivation session and headed in the direction of the head.


    They could feel the aura of Divine Power from the crystal walls becoming stronger the closer they got. They also met more and more groups on the way, including non-humans.


    However, if the difference in strength between two groups wasn''t very obvious, the two lord dynasties wouldn''t attack each other easily. After all, obtaining the fortune within the God corpse was the most important thing right now.


    The path that the group was walking through started to expand, and it turned into an endless pathway. All the other groups that were heading toward the head of the God corpse started to gather in this wide path.


    "We''re here!" A wicked light flashed through Nan Gongsheng''s eyes, and everyone started to slow down. At the end of this endless crystal pathway was a broad dimension containing ruined crystals. All the experts of both lord dynasties were present, scattered around the crystal ruins.

 1097 Resolving Method

    Chapter 1097 - Resolving Method


    Within a cave on the right side of the crystal dimension, the expressions of Sacred King Feather Spirit, Sacred King Green Light, and Sacred King Xihai shook as they looked at the people that just appeared at the entrance of the giant pathway in disbelief.


    "Zhao Feng?"


    "Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and Kun Yun as well!"


    Sacred King Green Light was stunned.


    "How is it possible for them to make it here?" Sacred King Feather Spirit was dazed, and explosions went off in his mind. A non-human Demigod was chasing after Zhao Feng and company, so how was it possible for them to appear here?


    "What is it?" an old voice sounded from within the depths of the cave.


    "Reporting to Grand Elder Taichi, this junior saw that Zhao Feng and company were being chased by a non-human Demigod early and is simply surprised by the fact that Zhao Feng is here!" Sacred King Feather Spirit immediately replied.


    Demigod Taichi knew Sacred King Feather Spirit''s ancestor. If it wasn''t for the fact that Demigod Taichi had supported Sacred King Feather Spirit so many times, the latter wouldn''t have reached his current stage.


    Sacred King Feather Spirit didn''t dare to mention the feud between himself and Zhao Feng because all of that was nothing in the eyes of a Demigod.


    However, right after Sacred King Feather Spirit spoke, the expressions of all the Grand Imperial Hall members within the crystal cave changed as they scanned out with their Divine Sense.


    "That''s Sacred King Dark Screen and Kun Yun!" A Sacred King from the Grand Imperial Hall spoke, and everyone else from the Grand Imperial Hall instantly understood why Zhao Feng and company were able to escape from a Demigod. It was definitely because they had the help of Kun Yun and the group from Black Screen Corner.


    In addition, at this time, Kun Yun''s and Sacred King Dark Screen''s auras were stronger than before.


    Zhao Feng obviously noticed the Grand Imperial Hall in the broad pathway.


    "The Grand Imperial Hall shouldn''t attack us!" Zhao Feng sensed that something was different.


    Zhao Feng dared to do anything and everything as long as he didn''t do anything to the Demigods of the Grand Imperial Hall. The Grand Imperial Hall was the ruler of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty; their every action would attract the nearby human forces and groups.


    Divine Senses one after another swept out through the caves and ruins nearby. Of course, most of them focused on the members of Black Screen Corner and Kun Yun.


    Black Screen Corner was a neutral force, so a lot of forces and groups of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty wanted to team up with them. As for Kun Yun, he was a revived Demigod. News of this had already spread across both lord dynasties long ago, so a lot of forces wanted to join Kun Yun as well.


    In a certain ruin, Demigod Dark Ocean and Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss from Nine Darkness Palace looked at Zhao Feng.


    "How is this possible!?" Sacred King Earth Ghost exclaimed.


    Demigod Dark Ocean''s eyes twinkled slightly and he was about to speak.


    Boom!


    A powerful Intent shook Heaven and Earth as it suddenly spread through the broad pathway. The groups of both lord dynasties stood still and were unable to move as they looked at the divine figure floating in the sky.


    "Demigod Ferocity?" A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    "Old undead, you were actually right behind us!?" Kun Yun laughed.


    Sacred King Dark Screen shook his head and led the members of Black Screen Corner to enter the broad dimension ahead.


    "Die!" Demigod Ferocity was enraged, and his hair blew in the wind as he turned into a dark yellow beam of light and charged toward Zhao Feng and company.


    Zhao Feng, Nan Gongsheng, and company immediately headed into the dimension in front of them and toward the right.


    Demigod Ferocity charged into the dimension, instantly arrived before Zhao Feng, and got ready to attack.


    "Fuck off!" a roar sounded from within the cave where the Grand Imperial Hall was located. The entire dimension quieted down as a tense aura spread. It made the hearts of normal Sacred Lords tighten, and they didn''t even dare to breathe.


    At the same time, a heavy Intent swept toward Demigod Ferocity.


    Hu!


    The roar entered Demigod Ferocity''s soul and pushed back his grand Intent. Surges of powerful auras appeared one after another from the right side of the dimension. Demigod Ferocity''s heart shook, and he finally retracted all his power.


    "Come here!" a cold voice sounded from a cave on the left side of the dimension. Demigod Ferocity immediately turned toward it; it was the territory of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty.


    Zhao Feng and company smiled and continued to progress forward. The reason they dared to act so nonchalantly was because they were certain that Demigod Ferocity couldn''t kill them here.


    The two lord dynasties each took up one side of the broad dimension. If Demigod Ferocity entered the territory of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty and killed Zhao Feng and company, where would the Grand Imperial Hall''s face go? How would they be able to rule over the lord dynasty?


    However, this also meant that the forces of both lord dynasties were attracted to Zhao Feng''s group and Sacred King Dark Screen''s group.


    "What happened between them and Demigod Ferocity for a non-human Demigod to hate them so much!?" A strong human Elder from a three-star power was puzzled.


    Zhao Feng and company found a random corner and stopped while Sacred King Dark Screen''s group left Zhao Feng''s group and headed toward the inner regions. The two sides had already discussed this when they started heading toward the God corpse''s head. Zhao Feng said that he wouldn''t team up with any other force, which meant that Sacred King Dark Screen''s and Zhao Feng''s cooperation came to an end.


    Zhao Feng, Kun Yun, and company gathered together, then set down a barrier around them. However, before they could start speaking, an unwelcome visitor appeared outside the barrier.


    "Zhao Feng, the Grand Elder of Nine Darkness Palace invites you over!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss gave Zhao Feng a complicated look. Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was the one that had once attacked the Hall of Gods directly. He believed that he would be able to take revenge the next time he saw Zhao Feng, but at this moment, he was slightly scared of Zhao Feng.


    "Nine Darkness Palace!" Zhao Feng''s heart dropped. He didn''t think that the Grand Elder of Nine Darkness Palace would be so direct and try to take action the moment he saw him.


    If Zhao Feng entered the territory of Nine Darkness Palace and got killed by Demigod Dark Ocean, the latter could find any random reason to cover it up. It was almost impossible for a non-human Demigod to kill a human right now, but it was extremely simple for a human Demigod to kill a human Sacred Lord.


    Right as Zhao Feng was thinking about how to resolve this, a bright and old voice sounded from a certain cave.


    "The Grand Elder of the Tie Family would like to meet Little Friend Zhao!" A red-haired elder with white robes in the cave revealed a warm smile.


    "The Tie Family!" Zhao Feng''s expression paused as he looked toward the source of the voice.


    When he interacted with the Tie Family last time, they sent Tie Hongling with him and tried to make them a couple, but Zhao Feng hadn''t done anything and just left by himself.


    Zhao Feng originally thought that the Tie Family would be angry at that, or at least not be quite as happy as they were right now. The Tie Family''s interference at this moment surprised Zhao Feng.


    The one that spoke was Tie Hongling''s grandfather, the Grand Elder of the Tie Family ¨C Sacred King Scarlet Sun.


    Demigod Dark Ocean''s expression became ugly over in Nine Darkness Palace''s territory.


    "Come back!" Demigod Dark Ocean messaged Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss. Since the Tie Family had already said something, even if he tried to forcefully invite Zhao Feng over, they couldn''t do anything to Zhao Feng. Although Nine Darkness Palace and the Tie Family were both peak three-star forces, the Tie Family''s relationship with the Grand Imperial Hall was obviously better.


    "Little Friend Zhao can go to the Tie Family then!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss put on a good performance on the surface and left.


    All the experts and forces of both lord dynasties once again turned their attention to Zhao Feng. A non-human Demigod wanted to kill this normal Sacred Lord, and now he was causing a fight between two of the top forces in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Who was he?


    Of course, almost all of the forces of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty already knew of Zhao Feng and about the relationship between Zhao Feng, Nine Darkness Palace, and the Tie Family.


    Zhao Feng left the barrier and flew toward the territory of the Tie Family. Although Zhao Feng didn''t really like the Tie Family, the Demigod of the Tie Family was definitely present. Besides, the Tie Family helped Zhao Feng this time. Zhao Feng had to give them face at least.


    Weng~~


    A hole opened in the barrier of the Tie Family''s cave, which Zhao Feng then entered through.


    Many Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings of the Tie Family looked at Zhao Feng with fiery eyes.


    "Thank you for helping me, Senior Scarlet Sun!" Zhao Feng put his hands together and thanked him.


    "Little Friend Zhao, make yourself at home. Come on in!" Tie Hongling''s grandfather, Sacred King Scarlet Sun, personally invited Zhao Feng inside.


    An Elder covered in red light sat in the middle of the cave; the area around him was a forbidden area.


    "Demigod Scarlet Blood of the Tie Family!" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped. However, this Demigod from the Tie Family had his eyes closed and was completely ignoring what was happening outside.


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng, I didn''t think that you already had someone in mind¡­." Sacred King Scarlet Sun laughed, and Zhao Feng had a slightly awkward expression. He obviously knew that Sacred King Scarlet Sun was talking about Zhao Yufei.


    "Back then, I was thinking of making you become a couple with my granddaughter, but from the looks of it, my granddaughter isn''t lucky enough!" Sacred King Scarlet Sun continued. In comparison to Zhao Yufei, the number one beauty of the Tie Family was indeed a lot lower.


    "No, no, no, Lady Hongling is very charming¡­." Zhao Feng replied respectfully to Sacred King Scarlet Sun. Zhao Feng had a very good impression of Sacred King Scarlet Sun; he was a Sacred King but didn''t act arrogant at all and was easy to talk to.


    Sacred King Scarlet Sun then went to the main topic.


    "Can Little Friend Zhao really not fulfill my wishes and let the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline return to the Tie Family?" Sacred King Scarlet Sun sighed.


    Zhao Feng''s expression was grim. He had thought of this question many times. Once he joined the Tie Family, he would be protected by them, and Nine Darkness Palace wouldn''t cause any trouble. However, Zhao Feng still decided to not join the Tie Family. While Nine Darkness Palace might not cause trouble for Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng wanted to cause trouble for Nine Darkness Palace.


    Zhao Feng had thought of a plan to resolve this issue, but there were many uncontrollable variables.


    "This junior is obviously willing to fulfill Senior Scarlet Sun''s wishes!" Zhao Feng said.


    Hu~


    A wave of hot air blasted across the entire cave as the expressions of all the experts turned to surprise. Even the eyebrows of Demigod Scarlet Blood twitched slightly.


    "Little Friend Zhao is willing to join¡­?" Sacred King Scarlet Sun was very excited. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng''s reply to be so decisive, and from the looks of it, Zhao Feng wasn''t joking.


    "This junior indeed has a couple methods. If Senior doesn''t mind, you can send a few disciples to the Hall of Gods, and I will help them awaken the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. However, I can''t guarantee if it will work or not!" Zhao Feng stopped Sacred King Scarlet Sun and told him the plan that he had thought of a long time ago.

 1098 Appearance of Samsara

    Chapter 1098 - Appearance of Samsara


    "This junior indeed has a couple methods. If Senior doesn''t mind, you can send a few disciples to the Hall of Gods, and I will help them awaken the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. However, I can''t guarantee if it will work or not!" Zhao Feng stopped Sacred King Scarlet Sun and told him the plan that he had thought of a long time ago.


    "Methods?"


    The members of the Tie Family murmured in surprise.


    Zhao Feng''s current perfect Blood Devil Sun Bloodline had already surpassed the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline that had once appeared in the Tie Family in the past. Therefore, the upper echelon of the Tie Family guessed that Zhao Feng might have some sort of method to improve his bloodline. Now that Zhao Feng said it, their guesses were confirmed.


    At the same time, some of the Elders of the Tie Family became greedy. If they were to obtain this method, the Tie Family might be able to raise a bunch of disciples with perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodlines.


    The upper echelon of the Tie Family started to communicate with each other.


    There were two attitudes toward Zhao Feng.


    The first was to agree with Zhao Feng. This would also mean that they would form a good relationship with the Hall of Gods. All the forces in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty had witnessed the expansion of the Hall of Gods, and they knew it would soon become one of the biggest forces in the lord dynasty.


    The second was to capture Zhao Feng and obtain his method. As long as Demigod Scarlet Blood took action, it should be extremely easy to capture Zhao Feng. Once the Tie Family could continuously raise people with perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodlines, the Tie Family would soon become the strongest three-star power in the lord dynasty, and would even have hope of becoming a four-star power.


    However, Sacred King Scarlet Sun suddenly spoke at this moment.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll be thanking Little Friend Zhao right here!"


    Sacred King Scarlet Sun revealed a faint smile. He had originally just wanted Zhao Feng to have a few children with some females of the Tie Family. It was very likely that his offspring would contain the perfect Bloodline Devil Sun bloodline.


    However, now that Zhao Feng admitted that he had unique methods and was willing to help the members of the Tie Family awaken perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodlines of their own, it was better than the idea that the upper echelon of the Tie Family had before.


    While they could obtain the unique method from Zhao Feng, Sacred King Scarlet Sun didn''t do this in the end.


    Firstly, he didn''t believe that there was a method out there that could limitlessly awaken such a powerful bloodline.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng''s growth shocked him. When they met for the first time, Zhao Feng was just an Emperor, but now he was an early-stage Sacred Lord. With Zhao Feng''s potential and talent, it wasn''t impossible for him to become a God.


    Thirdly, Sacred King Scarlet Sun was surprised by how Zhao Feng spoke without fear. Why was he so confident that the Tie Family wouldn''t do anything to him?


    Fourthly, this was what Demigod Scarlet Blood thought as well.


    The other experts of the Tie Family stopped thinking about capturing Zhao Feng when Sacred King Scarlet Sun spoke because he had definitely discussed things with Demigod Scarlet Blood in order to come to this conclusion.


    "But I can only do it after I return to the Hall of Gods!" Zhao Feng revealed a cunning smile. What he meant by this was extremely obvious; the Tie Family had to protect him here. If he had an accident, then he obviously wouldn''t be able to deliver on his promise.


    "Of course!" Sacred King Scarlet Sun knew what Zhao Feng meant. With the protection of the Tie Family, Nine Darkness Palace wouldn''t dare to do anything to Zhao Feng, at least on the surface. Besides, Zhao Feng was still with Kun Yun, and he had the Misty Spatial World. As long as they didn''t purposefully find trouble, there shouldn''t be any problem.


    "Then this junior will be leaving now!" Zhao Feng bowed faintly and left the cave.


    At this moment, Demigod Scarlet Blood''s voice sounded.


    "I will be trying to become a God after leaving the God corpse. I might succeed or I might fail, so don''t form a bad relationship with anyone else¡­."


    The upper echelon of the Tie Family became silent. Failing to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm might result in death. This meant that the Tie Family might not have a Demigod expert in the future, and since the Hall of Gods had a lot of potential, it was best for the Tie Family to form a good relationship with them, or at least not offend them.


    ¡­


    Zhao Feng left the Tie Family''s cave safely.


    Zhao Yufei revealed a joyful look in a certain corner.


    "Brother Feng, did the Tie Family do anything to you?" Zhao Yufei asked.


    "They won''t do anything to me!" Zhao Feng replied confidently. Now that Zhao Feng had the protection of the Tie Family, he didn''t need to worry too much about the Demigod of Nine Darkness Palace. This meant that he could use the last God Slaying Arrow to deal with other dangers.


    Zhao Feng then turned his gaze toward the front. At the very end was a giant white-and-gold screen. This screen was formed from pure Divine Power. The terrifying aura of Divine Power radiating from it stopped everyone from getting too close.


    Even the Divine Senses of Demigods couldn''t pass through the golden-white barrier, but as time passed, Zhao Feng found that the power of the screen was gradually fading. He believed that both lord dynasties had already sensed this as well, which was why they were just sitting there and waiting. As long as the golden-white Divine Power completely disappeared, they would be able to enter.


    "This should be the most important place. I wonder what''s behind the golden-white screen?"


    Zhao Feng was unable to calm down. The fortune within the God corpse was the biggest treasure that had ever appeared in the continent zone or else the little thieving cat wouldn''t have been able to obtain a true divine weapon.


    However, most of the people from the continent zone didn''t have the little thieving cat''s skills, so they weren''t able to obtain any of the high-end treasures that could make even Demigods go insane. Zhao Feng himself only managed to obtain three of the fruits, and only with the little thieving cat''s help.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng instinctively activated the power of his left eye, and a layer of faint gold light spread across his golden eye.


    "Let''s give it a try!"


    Zhao Feng''s sight managed to see through the golden-white barrier, but it cost a lot of his Eye Intent.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng''s vision suddenly became pitch-black. It was as if day had suddenly become night. This big difference caused his heart to jump.


    "This is what''s behind the screen?" Zhao Feng''s heart tightened.


    The dimension was pitch-black, but there was one thing that instantly attracted Zhao Feng''s gaze. It was a golden-white path in the world of darkness, and it led to a giant ball of light. The ball of light was slowly spinning and giving off a glow of light that made one''s eyes instantly lock onto it.


    "The true fortune should be within the ball of light, but there seems to be only one path there!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows locked together. The golden-white path was very narrow and could only accommodate roughly four people at once, but all the experts of both lord dynasties were gathered here. A path that could only fit four people at once was definitely not enough.


    This would force the two lord dynasties to attack each other. If that was the case, Sacred Lords would be in the worst spot since they were the weakest. It would be impossible for them to approach the ball of light.


    However, this was just Zhao Feng''s guess. He wasn''t sure what would happen in the future.


    "There''s still some time until the final treasury is unveiled. I''m going to use this chance to increase my strength!" Zhao Feng told Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei.


    If everything happened as Zhao Feng thought and both lord dynasties started to fight over the path, Zhao Feng would just leave and search for other fortune in the God corpse.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng felt many Divine Senses scanning around. They had either complicated, surprised, or wary expressions.


    "Sacred King Samsara!"


    "It''s one of the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes!"


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but look toward the entrance.


    "The inheritor of the Eyes of Samsara!" Zhao Feng was very surprised. He didn''t expect the owner of the Eyes of Samsara to also come here.


    Zhao Feng didn''t see Liu Qinyin''s figure, but thinking about it, with Liu Qinyin''s current cultivation, she would be in danger even if she had her master protecting her.


    Sacred King Samsara stood in the pathway alone, but all the groups moving around revealed wary expressions. No one doubted his true strength.


    Zhao Feng could also feel enraged auras from both lord dynasties, and Zhao Feng quickly understood after thinking about it.


    The Eyes of Samsara could force the dead to fall into the Samsara of Death and never gain new life. Those that Sacred King Samsara created Samsara Immortal Bodies for were not simple people. They would definitely be the peak experts of both lord dynasties, which meant that Sacred King Samsara had offended many forces.


    However, at the same time, the ability of Sacred King Samsara''s Samsara of Life had also helped many superpowers and experts. Adding on the fact that Sacred King Samsara himself was extremely low-key and had unknown battle-power, he was still alive even after offending so many forces.


    Sacred King Samsara slowly entered the broad dimension.


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng, we meet again!" Sacred King Samsara slowly approached Zhao Feng''s location, and the experts of both lord dynasties were stunned once again.


    "Who is that brat? Why is everything related to him?"


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Feng would even know Sacred King Samsara. Looks like I still underestimated him!" Sacred King Scarlet Sun had a grim expression. Sacred King Samsara had souls of the Tie Family as well.


    "That brat isn''t simple!" Demigod Dark Ocean''s expression was also grim.


    "Hmph, I shall destroy anything and everything in front of me!" Battle-intent radiated from the non-human Demigod Destruction as his eyes flashed with a golden light.


    The expressions of Zhao Yufei and Nan Gongsheng next to Zhao Feng also changed slightly. They felt an incredibly strong power from this normal-looking elder, and they would rather not interact with him.


    A rare sign of wariness appeared in Kun Yun''s eyes as well.


    "Indeed. I didn''t think that Senior would come to such a crowded place!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled and withdrew the barrier, allowing Sacred King Samsara in.


    "I don''t like crowded places, but I like places where there are many experts!" Sacred King Samsara had a peaceful smile as his eyes scanned around.


    The expressions of the Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings from both lord dynasties changed dramatically as they started to become wary.


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng''s rate of progress is indeed very quick. It''s only been a couple years, but you''ve improved dramatically!" Sacred King Samsara sat down, as if he was going to stay here.

 1099 Everyone Entering

    Chapter 1099 - Everyone Entering


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng''s rate of progress is indeed very quick. It''s only been a couple years, but you''ve improved dramatically!" Sacred King Samsara sat down, as if he was going to stay here.


    However, from Zhao Feng''s point of view, Sacred King Samsara was only casually sitting here. With Sacred King Samsara''s strength, he didn''t need to team up with Zhao Feng.


    "Senior is able to come here alone. Such strength makes one admire you!" Zhao Feng started to make small talk with Sacred King Samsara. Sacred King Samsara had helped Zhao Feng many times and, logically speaking, Zhao Feng should be very friendly with such an expert, but for some reason, Zhao Feng felt that his inner heart didn''t like Sacred King Samsara.


    Could it be because of the Emperor of Death? Zhao Feng started to think.


    Zhao Feng then spoke a bit more with Sacred King Samsara before starting to cultivate.


    Zhao Feng used the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and started to focus on several subjects at once.


    The first thing he focused on was cultivating the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. His Earth of Wind Lightning had reached the late stages, and he needed some more effort to consolidate it so that his progress later would be smoother.


    The second focus was to absorb the resources that he had obtained in the God corpse and cultivate the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. Zhao Feng had cultivated it to the early stages of the 6th level, and it could reach the late stages at any moment.


    In order to face what was coming next, Zhao Feng would definitely raise his Sacred Lightning Body to the late stages of the 6th level.


    Zhao Feng had the resources needed for both skills. He had obtained them through the Ancient Dream Realm and the God corpse. Zhao Feng could also duplicate what he needed with his left eye, but he didn''t dare to expend too much energy since he needed to make sure he was at his peak state.


    Zhao Feng then put his focus into the dimension of his left eye. The third focus was absorbing the power of the God Tribulation Lightning from the Demigod head.


    The more God Tribulation Lightning symbols he had in his Lightning Soul Body, the harder it was to obtain more, so Zhao Feng started off from a different perspective. He started to strengthen each individual God Tribulation Lightning symbol in his Lightning Soul Body so that each symbol could contain more God Tribulation Lightning and unleash more power.


    The strengthening of his God Tribulation Lightning obviously meant that the power of his Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame would become stronger.


    Zhao Feng''s fourth focus was comprehending the battle with Demigod Ferocity. The scenery in the dimension of his left eye changed once more and turned into the setting of the fight, as if Zhao Feng had travelled back to the past.


    Zhao Feng started to replay the fight in the dimension of his left eye. The more he understood, the more he realized how much there was still to learn.


    Of course, Zhao Feng also had other thoughts doing other things such as comprehending eye-bloodline techniques, analyzing the third level of the Soul Splitting Technique, keeping an eye on the outside world, and more.


    Almost all the experts in the crystal dimension were in a half-cultivation state, trying to increase their strength at this critical moment in order to obtain more of whatever was to come.


    The golden-white divine light at the end of the crystal dimension was still dimming.


    "The power in the entire God corpse is weakening. Even the Divine Power in this screen is fading away. Where is all this power going to?"


    "Maybe the inheritance that operates the head needs this energy!"


    "The Divine Power in the screen has become even weaker. If this continues, we''ll be able to enter in a few more days!"


    The experts that were in a half-cultivation state kept an eye on the situation of the outside world.


    Part of Zhao Feng''s Intent left the dimension of his left eye two days later.


    Three fruits covered in crystal appeared before Zhao Feng in the Misty Spatial World. A small hole had been dug out by the little thieving. These three fruits surrounded Zhao Feng and released a desolate force through the holes.


    "The Intents of Earth, Lightning, and Metal!"


    Although Zhao Feng hadn''t reached the level with the Metal of Wind Lightning yet, that didn''t mean he couldn''t comprehend the element of Metal. If Zhao Feng gained a certain amount of understanding in the element of Metal beforehand, he would be able to cultivate the Metal of Wind Lightning a lot more easily in the future.


    The three Intents were like a mountain that suppressed Zhao Feng''s soul and started to erode it. Zhao Feng''s consciousness seemed to enter a desolate world made up of the elements of Earth, Lightning, and Metal.


    The earth was dark yellow. Countless golden lights filled the air, and lightning boomed in the sky.


    In order to increase the rate of his comprehension, Zhao Feng used his God''s Spiritual Eye. His mind instantly became very clear, his reaction and thinking speed became a lot faster, and his rate of understanding these three Intents kept on increasing.


    However, as more and more power started to erode Zhao Feng''s soul, he was unable to maintain his consciousness even if he had the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    "This is my limit!"


    Zhao Feng suddenly opened his eyes, moved the three fruits to the side, and sealed them up.


    "My Soul Intent easily surpasses late-stage Sacred Lords. If I use these fruits and enter comprehension for a couple more days, my Soul Intent will reach the level of a Sacred King!"


    Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression. His Soul Intent had become a lot stronger, not just because of the fortune that he obtained, but also because of his natural talent in the soul.


    "The Divine Power in the screen has weakened by more than 60%!" Zhao Feng calculated as he inspected the golden-white Divine Power in the distance. He then looked toward some other people.


    Nan Gongsheng had obtained a black fruit, and now his Soul Intent was catching up to his cultivation. The aura radiating from him was even more evil and wicked than before.


    On the other side, Zhao Yufei could directly absorb the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and aura of Divine Power just by sitting there. The aura of the Mystic Light Sacred Power radiating from her body was also becoming stronger.


    "The speed at which the Divine Power is flowing away from the golden-white screen is becoming faster!" Kun Yun suddenly said.


    Zhao Feng looked at Kun Yun. Kun Yun probably stole something important from Demigod Ferocity or else he wouldn''t have chased after Kun Yun for such a long time.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng found that Kun Yun''s physical body contained a unique and powerful lightning. This was the first time that Zhao Feng felt this feeling.


    His gaze then turned toward the golden-white screen.


    "It''s indeed become faster." Zhao Feng''s tone was certain and excited.


    More and more experts couldn''t help but stop cultivating.


    "We''ll soon be able to see what''s happening!"


    "There''s definitely a peerless treasure in there. It could even be a divine weapon that appears only in legends!"


    "There might be secret techniques that allows one to become a God!"


    Almost all of the experts had stopped cultivating and stared at the golden-white screen.


    The Demigods could sense clearly how much Divine Power still remained in the screen.


    At a certain moment, the screen became extremely dim and seemed to become a ripple of water.


    Hu~~


    Demigod Dragon Emperor led the other experts of the Grand Imperial Hall and flew out from their cave. On the other side, Demigod Dark Dragon from the Dark Capital Cult flew out and stared at Demigod Dragon Emperor with a wicked smile.


    All the Demigods of both lord dynasties started to take action and released a terrifying pressure that shook Heaven and Earth. The Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings behind them stood still and didn''t dare to move.


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng, be careful!" Sacred King Samsara said with a smile before leaving.


    "Same to Senior!" Zhao Feng replied.


    After all the Demigods entered the dim ripple, the remaining Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings started to move as well. Zhao Feng and company weren''t very close to the front, but they weren''t at the back either.


    "Everyone, be careful!" Zhao Feng warned right before they entered the dark screen.


    Weng~~~


    The scenery in front of them started to twist before returning to normal.


    "This is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically as he looked at what was in front of him. At this moment, there was a path constructed from Divine Power in front of Zhao Feng, and there were many of these paths in the black dimension around him.


    At a certain moment, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss'' figure appeared not very far away from Zhao Feng.


    A path made of light formed beneath his feet, and it reached all the way to the ball of light at the center.


    "Zhao Feng!" Flames of anger burned from Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss when he saw Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng was stunned and completely ignored Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss.


    "How is this possible? Everyone has their own path?" Zhao Feng was still in shock. He had seen this world before they entered, and there was only one path of light back then.


    This meant that, before the experts of the two lord dynasties entered, someone else had been here already. There was no one on the paths of light right now, so Zhao Feng didn''t know whether the person that arrived earlier had already entered the ball of light or if they were already dead.


    "How is that possible? The golden-white screen was formed from extremely strong Divine Power. Even normal True Gods wouldn''t have been able to enter by force!" Zhao Feng started to guess and was unable to calm down.


    "Let''s put that aside for now." Zhao Feng focused on something else. Since everyone had their own path, Zhao Feng didn''t need to worry about his enemies stopping him or trying to kill him or what would happen to Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Yufei.


    "Hmm? Why is there no one on these Divine Power paths?" Zhao Yufei inspected the path of light beneath her with surprise. Almost all of the experts that were outside had now entered the dark screen.


    A male covered in black scales suddenly appeared in the pathway and flew over.


    "Are you sure there''s no problem inside?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon asked. After all, he had seen all the experts of both lord dynasties enter, so he was slightly worried.


    "There''s no problem at all!" a female in white said from inside the Origin Dimension of Destruction within the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body. There were many colorful screens that showed different images in front of her.


    "Okay!"


    Excitement and cruelty flashed through the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes as it charged into the dim screen. The next instant, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon appeared in the world of darkness where the experts of both lord dynasties had gathered. A path of light also appeared beneath its feet.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon!" The expression of a non-human Sacred Lord next to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon changed dramatically.


    "Hmph, you came in as well!?" A non-human Demigod in the distance harrumphed coldly.


    "I didn''t think that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was hiding somewhere nearby!" Demigod Withered Breath of Sky Suspension Palace had an ugly expression.


    At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was just a Sacred King, but it was able to hide from the Demigods of both lord dynasties. There was definitely something suspicious there.

 1100 Many Dangers

    Chapter 1100 - Many Dangers


    The appearance of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon surprised all the experts and forces of both lord dynasties, but no one dared to do anything since everyone was still inspecting this new environment.


    The surroundings were pitch-black, and there was only a path of light beneath their feet. At the center of this world of darkness was a spinning ball of brilliant light. It was so bright that no one was able to see the situation inside it.


    "The true fortune should be within the ball of light at the very center!"


    "There''s definitely something up with this path of light beneath our feet!"


    All the experts of both lord dynasties started to investigate.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng took out a King-ranked Winged Wolf and dropped it off the side of the path of light. The next instant, the Winged Wolf fell straight down and disappeared.


    "What!?" The heart of Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss next to Zhao Feng shook when he saw Zhao Feng''s actions. Many Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings next to Zhao Feng had also seen his experiment, and their hearts dropped.


    "Hmm? Not dead?" Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He had set a Dark Heart Seal on this King-ranked Winged Wolf, so he knew its situation. The Winged Wolf didn''t die after falling into the black dimension; it was only teleported to another location within the God corpse.


    "This means that leaving the path of light equals failure, but it shouldn''t be dangerous. You will just be sent out!" Zhao Feng felt a bit more confident. When there was danger on the path of light, at least they could leave the path of light safely.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng obtained more intel through the senses of the Winged Wolf. The area outside the path of light was basically a forbidden area. Even if a Demigod left the path of light, they would fall. Although the Winged Wolf could fly, it couldn''t do anything outside the path of light apart from falling down.


    Just as Zhao Feng was preparing to investigate further, some experts started to move on the path of light. Weird lights started to blink in the black sky above them.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Countless balls of golden-white light of different sizes sped downward and filled the dimension. The aura of an invisible Divine Power crushed downward and shook the hearts of the experts on the paths of light.


    "That''s Divine Power!" Zhao Feng''s heart shook. If one was hit by a golden-white ball of light, even a Demigod would turn into ashes.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng wasn''t willing to be left behind by the others, so he instantly stepped forward. Zhao Feng instantly felt the Mystic Light Sacred Power within his Sacred Power Whirlpool flow away from his legs.


    "The Mystic Light Sacred Power in my body is fading away!" Zhao Feng was stunned. He looked at the other experts on the paths of light and could tell that their situation was the same from their expressions.


    "From the looks of it, the test in this dimension is more difficult than I imagined!" Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed. The experts that had entered this dimension for the test wouldn''t have to deal with any threat from other experts, and they could leave the path of light at any time. The danger involved could be said to be extremely low. However, if one wanted to pass the test, they would have to completely concentrate on this test and give it their all.


    Two sources of danger had already appeared, and they only just started. Balls of Divine Power fell from the sky, and if one was hit by one, it meant complete death. Meanwhile, the path of light beneath them kept on sucking away any Sacred Power and Divine Power within their bodies.


    Go!


    A pair of Scarlet Wings of Lightning spread behind Zhao Feng''s back as he flew across the path of light. Under this situation, the best method was to reach the center as quickly as possible.


    However, Zhao Feng only flew out several meters before feeling a heavy force slowly descend.


    "There''s more resistance!?" Even Zhao Feng became slightly angry. There were far too many tests on this path of light.


    Luckily, Zhao Feng cultivated the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, so his physical defense was very strong. His Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had also reached the 9th level, which was the Earth of Wind Lightning, so he had a certain amount of understanding in regard to gravity.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng circulated his Earth of Wind Lightning Sacred Power and created a domain of opposing force in order to fight back against the gravity on the path of light.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng flew forward at the same speed, but he suddenly stopped again. The next instant, a ball of Divine Power fell from in front, passing straight through the path of light and hurling downward.


    A non-human Sacred Lord was flying on a path of light directly below Zhao Feng. It was too late when this non-human Sacred Lord sensed the disturbance.


    Boom!


    The ball of Divine Power destroyed everything in this Sacred Lord''s area.


    "What terrifying power!"


    Zhao Feng''s heart turned cold. A late-stage Sacred Lord couldn''t even fight back at all against the ball of Divine Power and was completely destroyed.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng saw an early-stage Sacred Lord jump off from his path of light before he was hit by a ball of Divine Power. He quickly fell and was teleported away.


    "Faster!" Zhao Feng increased his speed as he summoned his Mystic Light Sacred Power. Since his God''s Spiritual Eye could see everything, all the balls of Divine Power were within his control.


    As Zhao Feng kept flying, the gravity around him became stronger. To make sure the gravity didn''t have any effect on him, Zhao Feng circulated his gravity domain at full power as well. This allowed Zhao Feng to gain deeper understanding of the power of gravity, so his gravity domain continuously became stronger as well.


    "How can that brat be so fast!?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was stunned. At this instant, Zhao Feng was speeding through his path of light. He would only occasionally stop for a moment to evade the balls of Divine Power falling from the sky. He had thrown Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss off a long time ago now.


    "How is that possible?" Many of the experts on the paths of light around Zhao Feng were also shocked. Almost all of the experts on a path of light could sense that, the faster one flew, the more difficult the test became, so many experts were proceeding carefully in order to make sure they were safe.


    Zhao Feng slowed down a little bit and inspected the others around him after hearing what some experts said.


    There were two Demigod experts within a certain range of Zhao Feng. They were Demigod Withered Breath from Sky Suspension Palace and Demigod Ferocity of the non-humans respectively. The speed of these two Demigods was just a little bit faster than Zhao Feng.


    "Could it be that the test everyone faces is related to their cultivation?" Zhao Feng understood. This meant that the gravity the Demigods had to face might be several dozen times stronger than what Zhao Feng had face.


    "This means that I should have a bigger advantage here!" Zhao Feng was overjoyed. The path of light basically chose the strongest expert amongst their respective cultivation level. Zhao Feng was only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but he was unrivalled even against those at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. He could even fight against Sacred Kings. This was why Zhao Feng could fly at such a fast speed across the path of light.


    "It''s gone?" Zhao Feng felt the gravity over him disappear very soon. A surge of powerful Intent turned into a storm of ice as it appeared on the path ahead of Zhao Feng.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng activated his Ice-Water bloodline and circulated the Water of Wind Lightning as he charged into the storm of ice.


    Boom! Hu~~~~


    Gusts of extreme cold started to erode Zhao Feng''s body and freeze his Sacred Power, but they only managed to decrease his speed by a tiny amount.


    The path of light below Zhao Feng''s feet also kept on sucking his Mystic Light Sacred Power away. The faster Zhao Feng travelled, the stronger this suction force.


    While being hampered by these two powers, Zhao Feng also still needed to be wary of the balls of Divine Power falling from the sky.


    Zhao Feng soon exceeded the other experts by a very long distance.


    Some other experts also stood out among their respective paths of light, but all of them were either Sacred Kings or Demigods.


    Everyone was slowly approaching the mysterious ball of light at the very center.


    Not far away, on Zhao Feng''s right, Demigod Ferocity suddenly looked at Zhao Feng as he passed through the storm of ice.


    "Zhao Feng!" Killing intent covered Demigod Ferocity''s face. While he was very close to Zhao Feng, he couldn''t do anything.


    Demigod Withered Breath from Sky Suspension Palace only paid a little bit of attention to Zhao Feng before focusing on his path of light once more.


    "This will be bad if it continues!" Zhao Feng''s expression was slightly ugly. The original distance between Demigod Ferocity and himself was quite large, but as they approached the ball of light, the distance between each path of light was becoming closer.


    Zhao Feng analyzed that Demigod Ferocity would be standing right next to Zhao Feng the moment they arrived at the end.


    The storm of ice disappeared after a while, and a white mist filled the air.


    "An illusion?" Zhao Feng sensed what this test was when he got close to the white mist, but such a weak illusion had no effect on Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng quickly sped through the white mist. As his speed increased, the strength of the illusion did as well, but Zhao Feng remained completely unaffected as he sped through the white mist.


    Zhao Feng soon caught up to Demigod Ferocity.


    "Dammit, this brat¡­!" Demigod Ferocity had an ugly expression. He was a Demigod, but now an early-stage Sacred Lord caught up to him? However, Soul Intent and illusions were Demigod Ferocity''s weakness.


    "If I arrive at the finish line first, Demigod Ferocity will be unable to do anything to me!" Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something. If he entered the ball of light and found Kun Yun or the Demigod of the Tie Family, he wouldn''t need to be scared of Demigod Ferocity.


    Besides, those that entered the ball of light first had the advantage anyway. Other Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings wouldn''t even dare to think about reaching the end before Demigods, but Zhao Feng had the ability to do so. Him catching up to Demigod Ferocity was the best proof. Zhao Feng had to reach the end before Demigod Ferocity or else Demigod Ferocity would kill him.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng started to surpass Demigod Ferocity in the illusion segment. As he progressed forward, the distance between each path of light became closer, and Zhao Feng could see more experts from both lord dynasties.


    "Zhao Feng!" The deadly eyes of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon locked onto Zhao Feng. He remembered what Zhao Feng had done in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    Even if he didn''t have a deal with Bai Lin, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wouldn''t let go of Zhao Feng. Now that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon knew that Zhao Feng had the Ninth God''s Eye, he wouldn''t let go of Zhao Feng even if he forgot about the revenge.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed as he felt the strong surge of killing intent from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was also an unparalleled existence among Sacred Kings. It had no weaknesses, and so its speed was very high as well.


    Since both lord dynasties had a feud with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon also had to enter the ball of light as quickly as possible for its own safety.

 1101 The Last Charge

    Chapter 1101 - The Last Charge


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was severely injured by Demigod Dragon Emperor before, but it had recovered to the level of a Sacred King, probably due to some fortune that it obtained in the God corpse. However, the true strength of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon surpassed most Sacred Kings.


    At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was heading forward on its path of light at a speed that surprised even Zhao Feng, but the other experts were more shocked by Zhao Feng''s speed.


    Anyone that stood out amongst their peers were unparalleled experts that were at least Sacred Kings. Even the strongest Demigod of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty ¨C Demigod Dragon Emperor ¨C gave a glance toward Zhao Feng in surprise.


    "Good brat! Looks like my choice wasn''t wrong!" Demigod Scarlet Blood of the Tie Family said with a faint smile. He was relatively far away from Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng''s current speed proved his potential and strength.


    "That human isn''t simple!" A non-human Demigod from the Dark Capital Cult gave Zhao Feng a deep glance. He wouldn''t mind killing a junior that had potential from the opposing lord dynasty.


    "Damn this brat!" Demigod Ferocity, who was now behind Zhao Feng, gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. His soul was his weakness; if he forcefully tried to catch up to Zhao Feng, he might be affected by the illusions, and if he was hit by the balls of Divine Power in such a state, that would be his death.


    Of course, it wasn''t just Zhao Feng that stood out. Nan Gongsheng''s terrifying strength also stunned many experts. At this point, Nan Gongsheng was at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and his comprehension had caught up to his cultivation. He was able to control more power of the Evil God as he charged forward in a fierce manner.


    At the same time, Kun Yun''s progress wasn''t any slower than normal Demigods. Kun Yun focused on body strengthening in his past life, so his soul was his weakness, but ever since he was revived, Kun Yun paid a lot of attention to his soul.


    Sacred King Samsara, Sacred King Dark Screen, and a few powerful non-human Sacred Kings also stood out.


    Zhao Feng soon passed through the test of illusions successfully.


    "I''ve passed through half of the path of light now!"


    Zhao Feng had a grim expression as he looked forward. The expressions of the nearby experts from both lord dynasties also became solemn as they slowed down.


    "The real test has only just begun!" a non-human expert said in a solemn tone.


    The balls of Divine Power that were falling from the sky before were extremely big and had obvious auras, so they were relatively easy to dodge. However, the balls of Divine Power now were only the size of a fist, and they fell much more quickly too. They were also compacted together, which increased the difficulty of dodging them by more than two times.


    If one said that the journey before was choosing experts compared to the same cultivation level, then this journey was choosing experts that could challenge those with higher cultivation.


    There were also still other tests on the path of light.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Compact golden swords of light appeared before Zhao Feng. Each golden sword contained the element of Metal, and it could instantly kill early-stage Sacred Lords.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~~


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and blocked these golden swords of light head-on.


    Bam!


    Several dozen golden swords landed on Zhao Feng and shattered.


    "Luckily, my Sacred Lightning Body managed to break through to the late stages of the 6th level before this. Even attacks from normal late-stage Sacred Lords will find it hard to damage me!"


    Zhao Feng was full of confidence. Even though the swords of light in front of him were formed from the pure element of Metal, it was hard to pierce through his defense.


    Zhao Feng''s attention was mainly on the balls of Divine Power falling from the sky.


    On the other side, Demigod Ferocity also managed to pass through the test of illusions, and his expression became more solemn as he saw the situation of those around him.


    "I need to surpass that brat!" Demigod Ferocity charged forward with a fierce expression. Several dozen golden swords of light also appeared in front of him, and these swords were able to instantly kill normal Demigods.


    Although Demigod Ferocity specialized in defense, he didn''t dare to block the swords of light head-on. He could only try to avoid them.


    The other experts all revealed their skill on the path of light to deal with the danger in front of them. The tests on the path of light reflected one''s defense, speed, agility, Intent, understanding of the five elements, and other aspects, so it was fair for everyone. Even if some experts didn''t specialize in a certain aspect and spent more time to pass that test, they could catch up in the aspect that they specialized in.


    Zhao Feng''s overall speed was a bit slower than Demigods, but almost no test could slow him down. Even though the balls of Divine Power in the sky were extremely compact and fast, Zhao Feng could easily dodge them with the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    "Fuck, I can''t catch up!"


    The distance between Zhao Feng and Demigod Ferocity started to increase, and the latter could only look at the figure of Zhao Feng''s back.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng caught up to Demigod Withered Breath.


    "Your eye-bloodline is very good!" Demigod Withered Breath looked at Zhao Feng with a hint of praise.


    "Senior is overestimating me!" Zhao Feng had been using the power of his left eye ever since he stepped on the path of light. This was why he could easily dodge the balls of Divine Power falling from the sky and catch up to Demigod Withered Breath.


    Zhao Feng stopped after going forward a bit more. The speed of the light swords shooting toward him also slowed down.


    "I should recover my energy first!" Zhao Feng sat down on the path of light and took out many herbs and medicine that recovered his Yuan Qi and soul power.


    "My preparations weren''t enough. I should have duplicated some more Hundred Origin Sacred Honey!" Zhao Feng shook his head. Apart from increasing one''s chances of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey also healed one''s injuries and recovered Yuan Qi. It also helped the soul as well.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng only had one more portion of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey left. If he used it, he wouldn''t be able to duplicate it in the future.


    Zhao Feng had used up a lot of energy on the way, and the path of light was still sucking away the Mystic Light Sacred Power in his body. If Zhao Feng had a large amount of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey, he could have used it to quickly recover all the energy he had used up.


    Zhao Feng went on his way again after resting for a while.


    "Zhao Feng, the moment I reach the end is the moment you die!" Demigod Ferocity''s voice sounded nearby. Because Zhao Feng had rested for a while, Demigod Ferocity caught up.


    "That is¡­?" Zhao Feng completely ignored Demigod Ferocity and looked into the distance. On a certain path of light, Sacred King Samsara completely ignored the golden swords of light and allowed them to pierce through his body as he quickly sped through the path of light with extremely fast speed.


    Those that knew a bit about Sacred King Samsara knew that he had the Samsara Immortal Body, so this test was useless against him. He only had to dodge the balls of Divine Power falling from the sky; after all, when a power was strong enough, it could even destroy the Intent of Samsara.


    Zhao Feng also realized that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was very fast. It was on par with the top Demigods of both lord dynasties. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon also seemed to know where the balls of Divine Power were going to fall down and easily avoided all danger.


    "Black carp, you''re really not scared of death are you?" Demigod Dragon Emperor, who was next to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, spoke.


    "You still have face to say that after failing to kill me twice?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon mocked.


    "Hmph, let''s see where you will run to once we reach the end!" Demigod Dragon Emperor harrumphed coldly.


    At this moment, Demigod Dragon Emperor couldn''t do anything to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, but once they reached the finish, none of the experts here would let the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon off.


    "We shall see!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed a disdainful expression. With the help of the Eye of Destiny and his own skills, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon believed that he could survive through the cracks of the two lord dynasties and obtain great fortune.


    ¡­


    Zhao Feng surveyed his surroundings.


    "I can''t see Zhao Yufei!"


    This meant that Zhao Yufei wasn''t fast enough and might be spending more time on some tests. However, she would still be able to pass through the path of light in the end.


    Whoosh!


    A pair of Scarlet Wings of Lightning spread out from Zhao Feng''s back as he quickly sped through the path of light. He relied on his Lightning Wings Flying Technique and God''s Spiritual Eye to avoid the danger.


    Zhao Feng soon threw off Demigod Ferocity again. As more and more experts started to approach the ball of light, the distance between each path of light became shorter, and Zhao Feng was only a bit more than a dozen yards away from Demigod Withered Breath.


    Luckily, the area outside the path of light had the ability to block all power, so the power that radiated from Demigod Withered Breath didn''t affect Zhao Feng.


    "There''s still one thousand yards till the end!" Zhao Feng saw through the light and noticed some structures within it.


    However, the closer he got to the end, the more difficult the tests were. At a certain moment, Zhao Feng saw a ball of Divine Power hit a non-human Demigod.


    "Zhao Feng!" Nan Gongsheng was stunned as he saw Zhao Feng speed through the path of light. He originally wanted to reach the finish before Zhao Feng at least, but from the looks of it, this was now impossible.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was on par with the peak experts of the two lord dynasties, and he was considered one of the strongest contestants in this path of light trial. Apart from Zhao Feng, there were: Demigod Dragon Emperor, Demigod Dark Dragon, Demigod Withered Breath, Demigod Destruction, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and Sacred King Samsara.


    As for Demigod Dark Ocean from Nine Darkness Palace, Demigod Floating Air, Demigod Ferocity, Demigod Scarlet Blood, and other Demigods from some of the strongest forces were behind them.


    Zhao Feng''s existence obviously stood out and raised a lot of attention. All the experts of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty wanted to kill Zhao Feng.


    "I''m almost there!" Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled. He could also sense the killing intent coming from the non-human experts. Because of his excellent performance, almost all the non-humans had their eye on him, but there was obviously nothing he could do about this.


    Boom!


    Countless bolts of red lightning struck toward Zhao Feng on the path of light. The red lightning contained the scorching element of Fire and a wisp of the laws of Destruction.


    This was the final test on the path of light.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng didn''t dare to face the lightning that contained the laws of Destruction head-on, so he used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique to dodge while preparing for the last charge.

 1102 Sudden Appearance of Xin Wuheng

    Chapter 1102 - Sudden Appearance of Xin Wuheng


    At this last critical stage, all of the other experts on the path of light tried their best. They even used some hidden cards and prepared for the last charge.


    Boom! Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon at the front was clad in a layer of flames as it charged forward.


    "Charge!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    A terrifying surge of Wind Lightning appeared from within Zhao Feng''s body. This power of Wind Lightning contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning and could block the path of light''s red lighting.


    Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and turned into a bolt of scarlet-golden lightning that sped through the path of light and instantly threw off several Demigods.


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was the most resilient against lightning, and he was also using all the power of the God Tribulation Lightning to resist the red lightning on the path of light. Zhao Feng also circulated his God''s Spiritual Eye to the maximum as his figure flashed through the path of light and avoided the balls of Divine Power falling from the sky.


    The closer he got to the giant ball of light ahead of him, the more compact the balls of Divine Power became. The advantage of experts that specialized in speed was displayed here.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon specializes in the laws of Destruction. It''s so fast!"


    "Hmm? That human also specializes in the laws of Destruction!"


    The group charging at the front couldn''t help but exclaim.


    "The power of God Tribulation Lightning!" Sacred King Samsara looked at Zhao Feng with surprise.


    "Divine Light of Destruction!" Demigod Destruction''s eyes flashed with a bright golden light that was like the sun. It radiated a dazzling light and a power of Destruction that made one''s heart shake. However, the red lightning on his path of light was also terrifying.


    Boom!


    Golden light shot out of Demigod Destruction''s eyes and clashed against the red lightning ahead. The owner of the Eyes of Destruction used a different method in comparison to other experts; he didn''t specialize in speed or defense, he simply destroyed everything in his path.


    However, Demigod Destruction had been using this method the entire way, meaning that he had used a lot of his eye-bloodline power. This resulted in the Eyes of Destruction becoming weaker, so his speed of progress was much lower than the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Feng.


    "Fuck that black dragon and that human brat!" Demigod Destruction revealed an unwilling expression. Demigod Destruction, who excelled in the laws of Destruction, had been surpassed by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Feng; this made him extremely angry.


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon charged forward and passed through the golden screen into the giant ball of light. Zhao Feng''s figure also merged into the ball of light from the other side.


    "It doesn''t matter too much that that human entered first. The main issue is the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon!"


    "That bastard''s actions are weird. Could it have obtained some sort of support-type substandard God item in the God corpse?"


    "It will be really bad if the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon obtains even more fortune in there!"


    The experts of both lord dynasties were not pleased by how the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was the first to enter the mysterious ball of light.


    Weng~~


    The scenery in front of Zhao Feng changed completely after he passed through the screen of white light. Unique structures, rooms, palaces, pavilions, palaces, and more appeared in sight. All of the buildings were spread chaotically throughout Heaven and Earth. For example, there was a large palace above Zhao Feng that faced downward, and many unique structures were within the palace.


    "That''s Nine Star Fallen Metal!" Zhao Feng''s eyes suddenly looked at some stairs in a certain room. Nine Star Fallen Metal was a legendary treasure that could be used to craft Heaven-grade weapons. Apparently, the Great Gan Lord Dynasty only had one piece the size of an arm.


    However, the entire staircase that Zhao Feng was staring at was made from Nine Star Fallen Metal. This would be about the size of a muscular male.


    "Such a precious material was used for some stairs!?" Zhao Feng''s heart shook as he inspected the other places with his left eye. Under close inspection, Zhao Feng saw that every brick and random decoration were made from precious materials that were even more valuable than Nine Star Fallen Metal.


    For example, Zhao Feng didn''t even recognize the main materials used to build the houses and castles, but the weird aura and light coming from them proved that they were far more valuable than Nine Star Fallen Metal.


    "So, the light from the surface of the giant ball of light comes from these buildings!" Zhao Feng exclaimed. On their way here, they could only see the blurry outlines of what was within the ball of light. The glow of light came from these buildings.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulders, and its black eyes started to twinkle.


    "Any decoration here is a peerless treasure in the outside world!"


    Zhao Feng stood there in complete shock, but he soon gave up on what he was thinking and calmed himself down. After remember the situation in Xie Yang Palace, Zhao Feng knew that, while these things he saw looked to be precious, they might just be normal in the eyes of a God. The true treasures and fortune were definitely hidden deeper inside the buildings.


    "I''ll leave this place first!" Zhao Feng immediately said to himself. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and he were the first to enter, but the other experts would arrive soon. Almost all of the non-human experts had their eyes on Zhao Feng at this point; as long as they met Zhao Feng, they would attack him for sure.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng flew through the countless weird buildings. In order to face the potential upcoming dangers, Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World and left behind many spatial markings.


    "There are so many buildings, and each one should contain a relatively big fortune!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes were starting to become blurry. Time was becoming precious, and Zhao Feng needed to pick out the buildings that contained the best treasures and fortune. However, there were far too many buildings, so Zhao Feng couldn''t decide which ones to choose.


    Ding! Ding!


    The little thieving cat threw a few old bronze coins into the air and pointed in a certain direction. At this moment, Zhao Feng''s eyes also looked in a certain direction, and it was the same direction that the little thieving cat''s divination led.


    "What is that?"


    There was a giant palace made from a golden-white material very far away from Zhao Feng. It was ancient, and it had a majestic feeling to it. The golden-white palace was crystal-clear and gave off multi-colored lights, so one couldn''t see what was within this transparent building.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng flew toward this golden-white palace.


    "What a powerful aura of Divine Power!"


    A strong surge of Divine Power aura swept over the area before Zhao Feng got too close and stopped him from approaching.


    "The fortune in this palace is definitely not simple!"


    Zhao Feng''s heart shook as he tried his best to approach this golden-white palace.


    There were countless buildings in this dimension. Zhao Feng had spent some time moving around, but no other building radiated such a powerful aura. This was also the biggest building Zhao Feng had seen so far. He didn''t even know what materials it was made of, but Zhao Feng wouldn''t believe that there was no fortune here even if he had to bet his life on it.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng activated the Sacred Lightning Body and charged forward.


    "The entrance to the palace!" Zhao Feng used his Sacred Lightning Body at full power and approached the entrance to the golden-white palace. After some time and effort, Zhao Feng managed to reach it.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng circulated his power and attacked the golden-white door.


    "The door won''t open!?" Zhao Feng''s heart dropped. He tried several other methods, but they didn''t work either.


    Whoosh!


    A blood-colored crystal pearl appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. He circulated some bloodline Divine Power from it and merged it into his palm as he thrust it toward the golden-white giant door. However, the palace door remained unperturbed. There were no signs of reaction at all.


    "Even Divine Power doesn''t work!?"


    Zhao Feng was somewhat disappointed. Being one of the first people to arrive here, he had an advantage that others didn''t. Zhao Feng originally thought that he had found a place with great fortune, but the doors of the palace were tightly shut, which meant that he had basically wasted his advantage here.


    "Fortune does depend on luck indeed!"


    Zhao Feng soon calmed down. Even if he was able to enter, that wasn''t a guarantee that he would be able to actually obtain any treasures inside. Just looking at the majestic structure, it was easy to tell the trials would be difficult.


    "What could be inside it?" Zhao Feng got ready to leave this palace, but he at least wanted to see what was inside and whether or not it was some kind of heaven-defying treasure.


    Weng~


    A faint golden light spread across Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng saw through the aura and light. His vision entered the palace, but it was unable to proceed further after a certain distance.


    "There doesn''t seem to be any precious treasures here?" Zhao Feng was very surprised. There were no unique items at all. There was only a ball of terrifying Divine Power above the center of the palace.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng circulated the mysterious golden ball in the dimension of his left eye at full force, and an even more profound ripple of gold light spread across his eyes. Zhao Feng''s eyes started to look further into the ball of Divine Power until a certain point, where his body trembled and his pupils contracted.


    "The figure of a human!" Zhao Feng couldn''t believe it. There was a blurry human figure in the center of the Divine Power ball in this palace!?


    How was that possible? Could this person be the owner of the God corpse? Cold sweat started to appear on Zhao Feng as he started to think.


    The eyes of the human figure suddenly opened just as Zhao Feng was about to leave.


    "Hm? Zhao Feng?" a profound voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Xin Wuheng!?" Zhao Feng was in utter shock and became dazed. He was extremely familiar with the owner of this voice, but how could the human figure in the center of the Divine Power be Xin Wuheng?


    Zhao Feng suddenly remembered that the God corpse first appeared because of something that Xin Wuheng did. Ever since then, Zhao Feng had always thought that Xin Wuheng was killed by the surge of Divine Power from underground. He didn''t expect Xin Wuheng to be here!


    At this moment, Zhao Feng finally understood. Xin Wuheng must''ve been the one who walked through the path of light that he saw earlier. Xin Wuheng arrived here earlier than anyone else.


    "Zhao Feng, there''s not much time. Each building here is fortune. Choose one with your instinct!" Xin Wuheng''s voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    A figure appeared not too far away.


    "Demigod Dark Dragon!" Zhao Feng''s body shook, and his scalp tingled. Demigod Dark Dragon ¨C the strongest Demigod of the non-humans, the Grand Elder of the Dark Capital Cult, the one who was rumored to have the number one Imperial Dao bloodline ¨C had appeared.


    "Goodbye!" Zhao Feng had no time to continue chatting with Xin Wuheng. If he was caught by Demigod Dark Dragon, Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to escape even if he had the Misty Spatial World and the God Slaying Arrow.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved the Misty Spatial World and disappeared amongst a flash of silver.


    "Disaster is about to fall. This is just some of my repayments to you all. Find your own fortune!" Xin Wuheng sighed in the golden-white palace after Zhao Feng left.

 1103 Competitive Mode

    Chapter 1103 - Competitive Mode


    Next to an old pavilion:


    Weng~~ Whoosh!


    With a flash of silver, the figures of Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat appeared.


    "So close! Almost all of the Demigods from both lord dynasties have now come in!"


    Zhao Feng felt slightly impatient. If he met the Demigods of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, he would be protected by them, excluding Demigod Dark Ocean of course. But if he was together with the Demigods of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, that would also mean that his fortune would drop dramatically. After all, if they had to protect Zhao Feng, they definitely wouldn''t give the truly precious treasures to Zhao Feng.


    Because of that, Zhao Feng decided to continue acting alone. He had left many spatial markings behind, so as long as he was careful, it shouldn''t be much of a problem.


    Zhao Feng then started to think about when he met Xin Wuheng a moment ago. He was still shocked and in disbelief that the person inside the golden-white palace was Xin Wuheng.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng started to think about what Xin Wuheng had said to him;


    "Zhao Feng, there''s not much time. Each building here is fortune. Choose one with your instinct!"


    The way he phrased it gave Zhao Feng the impression that all the fortune here was set up by Xin Wuheng.


    However, that wasn''t the main point. There were two points that raised Zhao Feng''s attention.


    The first was that Xin Wuheng said there wasn''t much time. According to Zhao Feng''s guesses, the fortune here would only exist for a certain amount of time before it ceased to exist, whether because of some time limit or some other reason.


    The second point was that Xin Wuheng said there was a lot of fortune here, but he told Zhao Feng to choose "one." Why did Xin Wuheng tell Zhao Feng to choose only one fortune here when there were so many? Did he have to choose only one?


    "Could it be that there''s a physical limitation here, and one person can only enter one building and obtain one fortune?" Zhao Feng came to this conclusion.


    If that was the case, then Zhao Feng could be happy. He had resisted the temptation to enter any random building after entering. Instead, he looked around and used the Misty Spatial World to leave spatial markings behind.


    Perhaps Xin Wuheng was lying, but Zhao Feng decided to listen just in case.


    Zhao Feng also thought about the fact that Xin Wuheng was in the golden-white palace. Did that mean that the palace was Xin Wuheng''s fortune?


    Zhao Feng opened the God''s Spiritual Eye and inspected his surroundings.


    "If I can only enter one building, I can''t choose a bad one," Zhao Feng said in a decisive tone.


    Weng~~


    A faint ripple of golden light spread across Zhao Feng''s left eye. Any building that he could completely see through was completely ignored by him.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng carefully flew through the unique structures and inspected the buildings around him.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng saw a Demigod from the Dark Capital Cult inside a small wooden room. This Demigod took almost everything that he could after entering this small room, but when he tried to leave, his body was sent away by a strong surge of spatial laws and disappeared.


    "As I thought, one person can only obtain one fortune!" Zhao Feng felt extremely lucky once more.


    According to what happened on the path of light, Zhao Feng guessed that this Demigod should have been forcefully sent away to some other part of the God corpse. He was also very curious as to how Xin Wuheng knew this would happen.


    Ding! Ding!


    The little thieving cat threw up the old coins in its paws and started to divine.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws and pointed in a certain direction for Zhao Feng.


    "Fine, I''ll believe you!" Zhao Feng trusted the little thieving cat''s divination abilities. The little thieving cat had already pointed in the direction of the golden-white palace before, so it clearly knew how to find the good stuff.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng slowly flew in the direction that the little thieving cat pointed. He saw Demigod Scarlet Blood from the Tie Family on the way, but Zhao Feng remained motionless and only continued to move after he left.


    "There doesn''t seem to be any unique buildings around," Zhao Feng murmured after flying for a while, but he suddenly stopped his footsteps.


    "That clocktower¡­!?" Zhao Feng''s eyes landed on a certain large clocktower. This clocktower was green, and although it couldn''t be compared to the majestic golden-white palace, it stood out amongst the other buildings present.


    However, the main reason why this clocktower attracted Zhao Feng''s attention was because his vision couldn''t see through the clocktower.


    Weng!


    Zhao Feng circulated the transparency ability of his left eye to the maximum but could only see through the outer area of the clocktower.


    "This clocktower is definitely not simple. Its structure also seems to be related to the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Zhao Feng said in a certain tone.


    Zhao Feng approached the clocktower and prepared to inspect it from a closer distance, but a figure walked out from the other side of the clocktower right at this instant.


    "Zhao Feng!" The expression of the giant non-human figure turned to surprise and excitement. Demigod Ferocity had also been inspecting this clocktower; this clocktower was extremely unique and even blocked his Divine Sense. This was also why he didn''t immediately sense that Zhao Feng was on the other side of the clocktower.


    "Demigod Ferocity!" Zhao Feng''s voice shook. His transparency ability couldn''t see through the clocktower, and his Divine Sense was blocked as well, so Zhao Feng didn''t sense Demigod Ferocity on the other side of the clocktower either.


    "The distance is too close. I can''t use the Misty Spatial World in time!" Zhao Feng''s heart clenched as he felt a strong surge of life-and-death danger. The Misty Spatial World could only be used when the space was stable. The Misty Spatial World wasn''t an instant teleport ¨C it required half a breath''s worth of time.


    In half a breath''s time, Demigod Ferocity could kill Zhao Feng several dozen times at such a close distance.


    "This is the only thing I can do!" Zhao Feng led the little thieving cat and charged into the open clocktower.


    When Zhao Feng entered the clocktower, the door to the clocktower immediately started to close.


    "Hahaha, let''s see where you run to!" Demigod Ferocity roared with laughter as he turned into a streak of light and entered through the closing gaps of the door. He never would have thought that he would be so lucky and find the person he wanted to kill so quickly.


    "Dammit, he''s come in as well!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed to shock. He originally thought that once he entered the clocktower, it would immediately close and not let anyone else in, just like the golden-white palace. When Xin Wuheng was inside the palace, Zhao Feng couldn''t enter no matter what.


    From the looks of it, Zhao Feng had miscalculated.


    Zhao Feng sped through the steps of the clocktower. He saw many treasures on the way, but he didn''t have any time to pick them up.


    Whoosh!


    A dark silver bow and a dark golden arrow appeared in Zhao Feng''s hands. Zhao Feng immediately pulled back the bowstring and shot out a replica God Slaying Arrow.


    Beng~~ Whoosh!


    The image of a giant dark golden arrow shot downward through the air as it unleashed a terrifying dark golden storm of power.


    "You want to injure me with this?" Demigod Ferocity revealed a gruesome smile. From his perspective, Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to escape even if he had wings. It wouldn''t be too late to search for fortune after killing Zhao Feng.


    Shua!


    A dark red tattered giant axe appeared in Demigod Ferocity''s hand, and Divine Power surged as Demigod Ferocity held the weapon in front of himself.


    Boom!


    A storm of destruction instantly exploded, but the items within the clocktower remained unharmed.


    "Go die!" Demigod Ferocity roared with laughter and slashed out with the tattered giant axe, unleashing a wave of dark red light.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng quickly hid behind a white pole.


    Boom!


    Demigod Ferocity''s attack was blocked by the white pole in front of Zhao Feng. Not even a scratch was left behind.


    "Little thieving cat!" In this dangerous situation, Zhao Feng could only ask the little thieving cat for help because he knew that the little thieving cat had a divine weapon. If the little thieving cat was able to use this divine weapon, it wouldn''t be a problem to severely injure Demigod Ferocity, and as long as he could severely injure Demigod Ferocity, Zhao Feng would have a chance to breathe and leave with the Misty Spatial World.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat shook its head and signaled that it still couldn''t use the power of the divine weapon.


    Zhao Feng''s expression became ugly, but he knew that the requirements of using a divine weapon were extremely strict. Firstly, the divine weapon required an owner, and once it recognized an owner, no one else could use it unless the owner''s imprinted Intent was destroyed. Secondly, divine weapons required time to active their power. Lastly, divine weapons needed pure Divine Power.


    "Do I really have to use the God Slaying Arrow?" Zhao Feng really didn''t want to do so. He wasn''t confident that he could kill Demigod Ferocity even if he used the true God Slaying Arrow. At that point, he would still need to leave with the Misty Spatial World, meaning that he would have to give up all the fortune here on top of losing the God Slaying Arrow itself.


    "When can you hide now?" Demigod Ferocity had a smug smile as he closed in on Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two figures flew up the giant clocktower. Zhao Feng finally arrived at the top of the tower.


    "This is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s expression paused. There was only a metallic stand on the highest floor of the clocktower. A triangle-shaped black piece of metal with countless green lights floated above the metallic stand.


    "This should be the most precious treasure in the clocktower!" Zhao Feng didn''t know what it was, but he could tell that much.


    "Fuck it, I need to get something at least!" Zhao Feng reached out toward the triangle on the metallic stand while preparing to take out the God Slaying Arrow.


    At the very least, Zhao Feng needed to get something before leaving with the Misty Spatial World. However, when his palm touched the triangular black piece of metal, a brilliant beam of green light shot out.


    The green light washed over everything, and a cold mechanical voice sounded from the center of the triangular black metal; "Detected two living beings nearby. Opening competition mode!"


    "What''s going on?" Demigod Ferocity revealed an expression of fear when he felt this terrifying divine aura.


    Hu~~


    The green light faded away, and Zhao Feng and Demigod Ferocity appeared in another dimension. There was nothing in the sky, and the ground was paved with metal. There were many unique metal buildings in the distance.


    Zhao Feng and Demigod Ferocity stood on a green metal board several hundred yards long. At the very center of the metal board was a metallic stand, and a triangular black piece of metal floated above it.


    "Competitive mode is now open. Only the victor has the right to make an attempt at having the divine weapon recognize them as its owner!"

 1104 Mechanical Robo

    Chapter 1104 - Mechanical Robot


    Zhao Feng and Demigod Ferocity stood on a green metal board several hundred yards long. At the very center of the metal board was a metallic stand, and a triangular black piece of metal floated above it.


    "Competitive mode is now open. Only the victor has the right to make an attempt at having the divine weapon recognize them as its owner!"


    A mechanical voice sounded from the triangular shaped piece of metal.


    "Divine weapon!?" Demigod Ferocity''s heart shook as he stared at the floating piece of metal on the metallic stand. Even Zhao Feng forgot the danger he was in at this moment. Although he couldn''t tell what kind of divine weapon this was, a divine weapon would definitely have its own unique characteristics. Even if it was completely "useless," it wasn''t something that Heaven-grade weapons could be compared to.


    "Hahaha, I''m so lucky. I get to kill you and obtain a divine weapon at the same time!" Demigod Ferocity started to roar with laughter. From his perspective, this divine weapon was destined to be his.


    Zhao Feng had a grim expression. Although he didn''t know what "competitive mode" meant, the chances of Zhao Feng winning were indeed lower.


    "Starting detection!"


    Two transparent golden beams of light shot out from the metallic stand and swept over Zhao Feng and Demigod Ferocity.


    "Soul Intent, Mystic Light Sacred Power, and physical defense are all at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. Powerful blood; fire-elemental bloodline, and an unknown eye-bloodline!" a mechanical voice sounded.


    Zhao Feng''s expression paused. He didn''t expect this metallic stand to be able to measure his strength so accurately.


    On the other side, Demigod Ferocity''s expression turned to shock. Zhao Feng''s strength indeed surpassed others of the same cultivation, but Demigod Ferocity didn''t think that the three mentioned aspects of Zhao Feng''s had all reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    "Mystic Light Sacred Power and Soul Intent are both at the peak Sacred King rank. Slightly stronger physical defense, and a high-ranked bloodline. Has Divine Power. Considered a low-class Demigod!"


    In comparison to Zhao Feng, Demigod Ferocity''s result was completely horrible and even made Demigod Ferocity ashamed of himself.


    The next instant, three surges of unknown green matter appeared on each side of the green metal board in front Zhao Feng and Demigod Ferocity for a total of six. The unknown green matter then turned into three human-shaped mechanical robots.


    There were now three mechanical robots ahead of Zhao Feng. The first was directly in front of him, the second was in between him and the divine weapon, and the last was close to the divine weapon.


    "The first to defeat three mechanical robots without using any outside help will be the victor!" a voice sounded from the metallic stand.


    Zhao Feng inspected the first mechanical robot in front of him. This mechanical robot''s Soul Intent, Mystic Light Sacred Power, and physical defense had all reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and it had a strong eye-bloodline.


    All in all, the mechanical robot in front of Zhao Feng had the same strength as Zhao Feng.


    On the other side, the three mechanical robots in front of Demigod Ferocity also had about the same strength as him.


    "What kind of shitty test is this!?" Demigod Ferocity swore. It was extremely difficult to defeat three experts of the same cultivation. Normal people definitely couldn''t do it.


    At this moment, the mechanical robot in front of Zhao Feng used a profound movement technique and started to approach Zhao Feng.


    "From the looks of it, we just need to defeat the three mechanical robots, not fight against them at the same time!"


    Of the three mechanical robots, only the mechanical robot close to Zhao Feng started to move. As long as Zhao Feng could defeat his three mechanical robots faster than Demigod Ferocity, he would be the victor.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng regretted the fact that he didn''t duplicate some more God Slaying Arrows. If he used some replica God Slaying Arrows, he would be able to defeat these three mechanical robots easily, but now, he had no more replica God Slaying Arrows left.


    However, even though he might''ve been able to defeat the three mechanical robots quickly with God Slaying Arrows, the metallic stand had said, "Only the victor has the right to make an attempt at having the divine weapon recognize them as its owner!" It would be a very big loss if Zhao Feng used the God Slaying Arrows and the divine weapon didn''t recognize him as its owner.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng immediately activated his Sacred Lightning Body and released the power of his Little World projection.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng had a probing attitude in the first exchange, so he was pushed back a couple steps by the mechanical robot.


    "The strength of the mechanical robot is the same as me when I''m at my peak!" Zhao Feng concluded.


    In addition, the laws of this dimension were extremely unique. Zhao Feng wasn''t able to summon the Intents of Heaven and Earth here. The battle with the mechanical robot didn''t actually cause much damage; it was suppressed to the minimum.


    "If I kill Zhao Feng first, then the victor can only be me!" Demigod Ferocity suddenly had a thought and flew toward Zhao Feng, but when he passed over the head of the second mechanical robot, the second mechanical robot''s eyes suddenly flashed and it attacked Demigod Ferocity.


    "What''s going on?" Demigod Ferocity started to panic. From the looks of it, if he tried to fly over to Zhao Feng''s side, all three mechanical robots would attack him at the same time.


    Demigod Ferocity instantly flew back to where he was, and the second mechanical robot returned to its spot as the light in its eyes died down.


    Demigod Ferocity had to fight against the first mechanical robot.


    On the other side Zhao Feng saw all of this.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng used his Sacred Power of Wind Lightning and thrust out a scarlet-golden palm of lightning. The mechanical robot also used a Heaven-tier skill and punched out a scarlet-red fire.


    Boom!


    This time, Zhao Feng used his full power and was on par with the mechanical robot.


    "Normal methods won''t be able to defeat the mechanical robot!" Zhao Feng''s eyes became grim. Demigod Ferocity also realized this problem. The ability of these mechanical robots was the same as theirs. Furthermore, they were smarter than normal people; they''re battle analysis abilities were even more precise. The only thing they lacked were hidden cards and killing moves.


    "You underestimated my eye-bloodline!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile. Although the mechanical robot in front of him also had Soul Intent and a unique eye-bloodline, Zhao Feng didn''t believe that the eyes of this mechanical robot could be compared to his God''s Spiritual Eye.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World!" Zhao Feng first used his strongest illusion technique to test it out.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye turned into an endless purple-and-gold maze that was extremely alluring.


    The mechanical robot opposite him also circulated its eye-bloodline power and used an illusion technique. The two invisible sources of mental energy clashed. The next instant, Zhao Feng''s mental energy illusion technique defeated the mechanical robot''s illusion technique.


    "Success!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned to joy. The power of the mechanical robot''s eye-bloodline could perhaps be ranked within the top twenty Imperial Dao bloodlines, but it was impossible for it to be compared to Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye.


    After being affected by Zhao Feng''s illusion technique, the mechanical robot started to falter.


    Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!


    Zhao Feng once again used the powerful palm technique, and it landed on the mechanical robot. However, the physical defense of this mechanical robot was on par with Zhao Feng''s, so Zhao Feng''s palm didn''t do any critical damage to it. In fact, the palm woke the mechanical robot up from Zhao Feng''s illusion.


    "Illusion Soul Blast!" Zhao Feng used a small-range illusion technique as he charged forward and thrust out several scarlet-golden palms.


    Boom! Peng!


    The first mechanical robot was soon defeated by Zhao Feng.


    The eyes of the second mechanical robot in the distance started to glow as it started to radiate a powerful force.


    "Come!" Zhao Feng showed no signs of weakness as he charged toward the second mechanical robot. He used the same method ¨C a simple illusion technique right from the start.


    "Hmm? This mechanical robot seems to have stronger resistance to illusions!" Zhao Feng was very surprised.


    "Could it be that, because the first mechanical robot lost to illusions, the mechanical robot this time has stronger resistance?" Zhao Feng guessed in his heart.


    On the other side, Demigod Ferocity started to become impatient after seeing Zhao Feng defeat the first mechanical robot so quickly.


    "Fuck it!" Demigod Ferocity revealed a fierce look as a fuming blood-colored crystalline pill appeared in his hand. This was one of the hidden cards he had prepared for this journey into the God corpse ¨C the Blood Fuming Frenzy Demonic Pill. It could increase all of Demigod Ferocity''s aspects, and it infused a fierce force into his Sacred Power, making it more deadly.


    Boom!


    Demigod Ferocity''s aura changed completely after eating this pill. A dark red aura that made one''s heart shake spread through his body. When one looked from afar, he seemed to be a Demonic God from hell.


    "Kill!" Demigod Ferocity started to slash out with his weapon as he used the Sky Fierce Slash after eating the Blood Fuming Frenzy Demonic Pill.


    Boom! Weng~~~~


    The giant dark red wave of light rippled through everything and crushed toward the mechanical robot. The mechanical robot in front of Demigod Ferocity managed to block it for a moment before being completely defeated.


    "Now, the second!" Demigod Ferocity''s expression was filled with insanity and pain as he charged at the second mechanical robot.


    Although Demigod Ferocity''s battle-power right now was very great and most of his consciousness was still clear, he knew that this state wouldn''t be able to last for very long, so he needed to end the fight as soon as possible.


    Zhao Feng knew that he couldn''t keep hiding things anymore after seeing Demigod Ferocity try so hard.


    "Mental Energy Spike! Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    This time, Zhao Feng used his strongest offensive eye-bloodline techniques against the mechanical robot in front of him. This mechanical robot also used offensive soul-based techniques against Zhao Feng, but since Zhao Feng had the God''s Spiritual Eye, his resistance against soul attacks was very strong. Thus, he wasn''t affected.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng circulated some of his God Tribulation Lightning symbols as he used his technique. A ball of burning God Tribulation Lightning symbols exploded in the face of the mechanical robot with a Destructive aura.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng punched out and sent the mechanical robot flying.


    At the same time, Demigod Ferocity also killed his second mechanical robot, and they charged at the third mechanical robot at the same time.


    Boom! Bam!


    Zhao Feng realized that this mechanical robot had a certain amount of resilience against his illusions and his offensive eye-bloodline techniques.


    "The strength of this mechanical robot is probably on par with Sacred King Green Light!" Zhao Feng analyzed. Sacred King Green Light was considered a middle-tier Sacred King; he was stronger than normal Sacred Kings but not as strong as Sacred King Feather Spirit or Sacred King Dark Screen.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng was just a couple dozen yards away from Demigod Ferocity''s battlefield. If it wasn''t for this dimension suppressing all powers, Zhao Feng probably wouldn''t even be able to block the shockwaves from Demigod Ferocity''s battle.


    "The Blood Fuming Frenzy Demonic Pill won''t last much longer, but the strength of the mechanical robot is becoming stronger!" Demigod Ferocity knew the situation very clearly.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll kill you first instead!" Demigod Ferocity revealed a deadly expression.


    He had defeated two of the mechanical robots already, so he didn''t need to be scared of them attacking him at the same time anymore. From Demigod Ferocity''s point of view, killing Zhao Feng wouldn''t be very hard.


    Thinking up to there, Demigod Ferocity took the attacks from the third mechanical robot head-on and approached Zhao Feng with his weapon, about to unleash a barrage of attacks against Zhao Feng.

 1105 The Divine Weapon Recognizing its Owner

    Chapter 1105 - The Divine Weapon Recognizing its Owner


    Zhao Feng had the God''s Spiritual Eye open as he fought the third mechanical robot, so he was able to use the Lightning Wings Flying Technique to effectively dodge Demigod Ferocity''s surprise attack.


    Zhao Feng started to realize that the situation wasn''t looking good. Demigod Ferocity now only needed to stall one mechanical robot while attacking Zhao Feng instead of three, so he would be able to force Zhao Feng into dire situations or kill him outright.


    After missing his attack, Demigod Ferocity took another blow from the mechanical robot head-on as he prepared to unleash another attack against Zhao Feng.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng circulated his Eye Intent and God Tribulation Lightning symbols as purple-and-gold flames started to form in his left eye. A wisp of golden-white lightning also appeared within it.


    Boom! Whoosh!


    A ball of transparent purple-and-gold flames that contained the Destructive aura of God Tribulation Lightning exploded in Demigod Ferocity''s face.


    "Arghhhh¡­!" Demigod Ferocity screamed out. He never expected Zhao Feng to actually fight back while he was still fighting the third robot, so he was caught off guard. Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was much stronger than normal late-stage Sacred Lords at this point, so even though his Wind Lightning Eye Flame wasn''t able to do much damage to Demigod Ferocity, it could still affect him.


    Demigod Ferocity''s attack was broken, and he paused for a moment. On the other side, the mechanical robot unleashed a fierce barrage of attacks against Demigod Ferocity and injured him, but Demigod Ferocity soon recovered and steadied the situation as he prepared to attack Zhao Feng again.


    "Demigod Ferocity, don''t force me!" Zhao Feng revealed a deadly expression as he warned.


    "Hehe, ignorant ant!" Demigod Ferocity laughed in disdain. If Zhao Feng really had a method that could do something to him, why didn''t Zhao Feng use it earlier when he was chasing after Zhao Feng''s group? At that time, Kun Yun, Sacred King Dark Screen, and several other Sacred Lords were present to help Zhao Feng and they were still chased by Demigod Ferocity. Now that Zhao Feng was alone, what could he do?


    However, the next instant, Demigod Ferocity was completely dazed. A scarlet-golden arrow suddenly appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. The instant the scarlet-golden arrow appeared, a piercing power radiated from it that even caused the metallic materials present to tremble.


    The mechanical robot in front of Zhao Feng also sensed a life-and-death danger and didn''t dare to attack Zhao Feng.


    A faint glow of light flashed across the green triangular lines of the metallic stand briefly before fading.


    "God Slaying Arrow¡­!" Demigod Ferocity''s expression changed dramatically as cold sweat poured from his forehead. Under normal situations, he would''ve been confident to block Zhao Feng''s God Slaying Arrow, but at this moment in time, he was facing a Demigod-level mechanical robot. If he was severely injured by the God Slaying Arrow, he would die at the hands of the Demigod-level mechanical robot.


    As Demigod Ferocity was starting to panic, a large surge of Eye Intent started to circulate from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Weng~~ Weng~~ Weng~~


    A ball of God Tribulation Lightning symbols flashed with wisps of soul-fire as it started to form in Zhao Feng''s left eye and finally turned into a purple ball of crystalline God Tribulation Lightning Soul Flames.


    Whoosh!


    A ball of burning God Tribulation Lightning symbols landed on Demigod Ferocity''s soul.


    Shua!


    Demigod Ferocity screamed out in pain. Limitless bolts of Destructive lightning seemed to pierce through his soul, and bone-melting pain spread through the depths of his soul.


    "Hmph, I was just scaring you!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly as he put the God Slaying Arrow away.


    Although his God Tribulation Lightning Eye Flames attack was successful, Demigod Ferocity was, in the end, a Demigod. No matter how weak his Soul Intent was relative to his cultivation, it wouldn''t be too weak, so the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame didn''t do much damage to Demigod Ferocity.


    However, it was at this moment that the effect of Demigod Ferocity''s Blood Fuming Frenzy Demonic Pill was starting to wear off. He was hit by the God Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, and now he needed to face the attacks from the Demigod mechanical robot.


    That was enough to do a lot of damage to him, but as a Demigod, he wouldn''t lose because of a single eye-bloodline technique from Zhao Feng. As long as he recovered, he would be able to turn the tide. The only problem was that Zhao Feng wouldn''t give him a chance; after using the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flames, Zhao Feng started to prepare his next eye-bloodline technique. Mysterious lights started to flash around his left eye, and his golden hair started to blow even though there was no wind.


    The mysterious golden ball in the dimension of his left eye started to spin as a profound ripple of golden light that seemed to contain the origin of all things in the world surged into Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "God¡­ Eye¡­ Disintegration!"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye flashed with a unique purple-and-gold light that instantly shot through Demigod Ferocity''s body millions of times and analyzed the structure of his body. Zhao Feng then set Demigod Ferocity as the target and started to disintegrate him!


    Demigod Ferocity only just recovered from the pain of Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame when he felt a weird feeling. He suddenly realized that his body was disappearing bit by bit! Unseen atoms were slowly disappearing as if they never existed in the first place. At the same time, Demigod Ferocity''s soul started to disappear. He was fading away!


    Zhao Feng used his Sacred Lightning Body and defensive methods at full power to block the attacks from the mechanical robot as he continued to use the God Eye Disintegration to weaken Demigod Ferocity. He was basically teaming up with the Demigod mechanical robot to defeat Demigod Ferocity.


    Zhao Feng also felt his Eye Intent disappearing very quickly. As expected, disintegrating a Demigod wasn''t a joke.


    "What are you doing!?" Demigod Ferocity roared. At this instant, his soul, body, and Sacred Power were all fading away. After being hit by Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique earlier, the effect of the Blood Fuming Frenzy Demonic Pill had also run out by this point. Putting aside Zhao Feng, he couldn''t even deal with the Demigod mechanical robot right now. Furthermore, the divine weapon had already told them the rules ¨C they couldn''t use any outside help; thus, Demigod Ferocity couldn''t use his clone just like how Zhao Feng couldn''t use the little thieving cat.


    Boom!


    Demigod Ferocity felt his power weaken, and he was now at a disadvantage against the robot due to the fear in his heart. Demigod Ferocity had no ability to attack Zhao Feng in the physical dimension anymore.


    "If that''s the case, I''ll use soul attacks!" Although Demigod Ferocity didn''t specialize in the soul, there was no problem using some normal soul attacks given his level of Soul Intent.


    Boom!


    Demigod Ferocity''s relatively weak Soul Intent turned into a fierce giant shadow that crushed over toward Zhao Feng.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng groaned as his soul shook, but he still didn''t stop the God Eye Disintegration!


    Demigod Ferocity''s soul attack contained no skill at all, but it still had raw power. However, Zhao Feng''s soul defense was his forte; his God''s Spiritual Eye was extremely resilient against soul attacks, and the defense of his Lightning Soul Body was extremely unique.


    "What? He managed to block it?" Demigod Ferocity was stunned once again. He couldn''t believe that an early-stage Sacred Lord could block his Soul Intent. Even if Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, this was impossible!


    "Again!" Demigod Ferocity blocked the mechanical robot while circulating his Soul Intent to attack Zhao Feng once more.


    "The situation isn''t looking good!" Zhao Feng''s expression was grim. The energy required to disintegrate a Demigod far exceeded his expectations. Even though Demigod Ferocity was becoming weaker due to his God Eye Disintegration, Zhao Feng might not last as long as Demigod Ferocity. He still had to bare the attacks from his mechanical robot and also block the "weak" soul attacks of a Demigod while his Eye Intent was quickly used up.


    Demigod Ferocity''s soul attack this time might be able to stop Zhao Feng''s God Eye Disintegration and cause Zhao Feng to fail the test, but Zhao Feng still gathered his Soul Intent and fought back.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    A thumping sound came from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "The Ancient is broken, and the Ancient Gods slain will turn into endless dust¡­." An old sigh seemed to echo throughout time as it sounded in Zhao Feng''s ears.


    Boom!


    The mysterious golden ball in the dimension of his left eye shook as Zhao Feng''s bloodline and eye-bloodline power started to burn. A faint golden fire then covered Zhao Feng''s body.


    Boom!


    A forceful ancient aura that looked over the universe shot out from the God''s Spiritual Eye. Zhao Feng seemed to turn into a giant god of the Ancient Era; his every action shook Heaven and Earth.


    Boom!


    This sudden change increased Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent, but his God Eye Disintegration was also stopped.


    Hu~~


    On the other side, Demigod Ferocity''s Soul Intent touched the ancient aura and was repulsed by a terrifying power.


    Bam!


    Demigod Ferocity''s soul was severely injured, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    "This is¡­ the aura from the Ancient Era! The Origin Aura of the Ancient¡­!" Demigod Ferocity''s expression turned to fear. Zhao Feng''s suddenly change made him panic.


    At the same time, he really wanted the Origin Aura of the Ancient from Zhao Feng''s body. That was the main key to becoming a God!


    The Demigod mechanical robot in front of Demigod Ferocity stopped attacking Demigod Ferocity and bowed in front of Zhao Feng.


    "I''ll kill you!" Demigod Ferocity''s eyes spun as he revealed a deadly look. He had been in despair, but he suddenly realized that Zhao Feng''s eye technique had stopped. The Demigod mechanical robot was also bowing on the ground and not attacking.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was much stronger. If that was the case though, then Demigod Ferocity would just directly destroy Zhao Feng''s body!


    "Sky Fierce Slash!" Demigod Ferocity ignored his injuries and waved his giant axe, slashing out a dark red wave of light.


    "Not good!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed. Although his Soul Intent was very strong right now and he could heavily injure Demigod Ferocity if he used a powerful Soul eye-bloodline technique, he was still unable to stop Demigod Ferocity in terms of physical attacks. If Zhao Feng was lucky and focused on using a soul attack, he might be able to completely kill Demigod Ferocity and obtain victory, but Zhao Feng''s body might be completely destroyed as well.


    However, an unexpected change suddenly happened at this moment! The green lines on the black triangular item in between Zhao Feng and Demigod Ferocity suddenly radiated a dazzling green divine light.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The light started to spin around the triangular metal as a mechanical voice sounded.


    "The divine weapon has successfully recognized its owner!"

 1106 Must Die

    Chapter 1106 - Must Die


    Sacred King Samsara picked up a few extremely unique golden brushes off a table inside a bookroom.


    "These brushes have reached the upper-tier Heaven-grade. They can increase the power of one''s Intent and form a killing array when used together¡­." Sacred King Samsara inspected the brushes with his eyes, then turned his gaze onto the other items on the table.


    Right at this moment, Sacred King Samsara''s eyes started to shake. His normal eyes suddenly turned dark, and black rings started to appear.


    "The aura of the God Eye has awakened even more¡­." Sacred King Samsara revealed a hint of surprise.


    "I''ll let it grow a bit more. Only then will it be worth turning it into a Samsara Immortal Body!" Sacred King Samsara started to smile.


    ¡­


    Within an ancient temple, a male covered in black scales sat on a flaming black altar.


    "The aura of the God Eye has become even stronger!" Bai Lin''s voice sounded from within the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body.


    "Killing him will be as easy as flipping my palm after I recover my strength!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon snickered coldly.


    "It''s not hard to kill him with your current strength either!" Bai Lin continued. She had seen Zhao Feng''s growth, so Bai Lin knew how difficult it was to kill Zhao Feng or else she could have killed Zhao Feng herself already and wouldn''t need to team up with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. At this point, she couldn''t give up any chance or else she wouldn''t have any hope at all in the future.


    "Leave this place quickly and go kill Zhao Feng!" Bai Lin''s decisive voice sounded.


    "Fine!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon agreed impatiently. Although this place was very rare, killing Zhao Feng and destroying the Origin Dimension of a God Eye was an irresistible temptation for the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    ¡­


    Within a world of metal:


    "The divine weapon has successfully recognized its owner!" the metallic stand said as it started to sink into the ground.


    Weng~~


    The black triangular metal flashed with countless green mysterious talismans as it flew to Zhao Feng.


    "What?" Demigod Ferocity''s eyes bulged out in shock. No victor had been decided yet, so how could the divine weapon have recognized its owner? Besides, legends said that it was extremely hard for divine weapons to recognize an owner. Zhao Feng didn''t even touch the divine weapon from beginning to end, so how did the divine weapon recognize Zhao Feng as its owner?


    Even Zhao Feng was stunned and felt weird.


    A line of information suddenly appeared in his mind; "Divine weapon ¨C Ancient God Seal!"


    Ding! Ding!


    The black triangular metal in front of Zhao Feng started to transform, and it instantly turned into a black shield that was covered with countless green lines.


    Boom!


    Demigod Ferocity''s Sky Fierce Slash was blocked by this black shield, and the black shield reflected a mystic force back.


    Boom!


    The power of Demigod Ferocity''s Sky Fierce Slash was instantly reflected, and a terrifying dark red surge of power shot toward Demigod Ferocity.


    Bam!


    Demigod Ferocity was still in shock, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    Ding! Ding!


    The black shield then transformed back into a triangular piece of metal and fell into Zhao Feng''s hand.


    "The divine weapon protected me!" Zhao Feng was in a daze as his God''s Spiritual Eye started to contract, and the strong surge of ancient aura faded away.


    "The divine weapon automatically recognized me as its owner and protected me?" Zhao Feng still couldn''t believe that there was such a thing.


    One had to know that divine weapons were legendary forbidden weapons in the eyes of all experts in the continent zone.


    Thinking about it, Zhao Feng somehow felt that the divine weapon wanted him and was trying to get on his good side.


    Weng~~


    The scenery around him started to turn blurry. The next instant, Zhao Feng and Demigod Ferocity appeared in a random area of the God corpse.


    "What''s going on? Why am I here?" Demigod Ferocity''s expression changed dramatically. He originally thought that, even if Zhao Feng obtained the divine weapon, he would still have an opportunity to scout out the other treasures in the head, but now, they were no longer in the head.


    "As I thought, after the fortune ends, we will be returned to the body of the God corpse!" Zhao Feng basically knew this point already. His eyes then locked onto Demigod Ferocity as he radiated cold killing intent.


    "Not good!" Demigod Ferocity''s body trembled as he felt this cold killing intent.


    Originally, he would have been able to easily kill Zhao Feng even if he was severely injured, but Zhao Feng had now obtained a mysterious divine weapon, and he also had the God Slaying Arrow as well. Demigod Ferocity had no will to fight after remembering these two points.


    "Run!" Demigod Ferocity started to run.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng used a Soul eye-bloodline technique just as Demigod Ferocity was about to escape.


    Whoosh!


    A ball of gold-and-purple lightning-fire exploded in Demigod Ferocity''s face and started to spread.


    "Arghh¡­!" Demigod Ferocity screamed. If he was at his peak, this Soul eye-bloodline technique would''ve been useless, but Demigod Ferocity''s soul was still hurting from the terrifying aura of Zhao Feng''s God Eye a moment ago. Adding on the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame and God Eye Disintegration, Demigod Ferocity''s soul could be considered very weak right now.


    "Divine weapon!" Zhao Feng tried to communicate with the divine weapon in his hand, but he found that the green lines were extremely dim, and it had no reaction at all.


    "I forgot that one needs Divine Power to use a divine weapon!" Zhao Feng slapped his forehead. He didn''t have any Divine Power himself, and Divine Power from the outside world couldn''t activate a divine weapon since it was imprinted on the owner.


    "But I can''t let Demigod Ferocity escape!" Zhao Feng''s expression became solemn as more killing intent appeared.


    Firstly, Demigod Ferocity chased after Zhao Feng and his friends earlier, forcing them into a desperate situation. He almost killed Zhao Yufei as well.


    Secondly, he couldn''t allow Demigod Ferocity to spread news of him obtaining a divine weapon. Zhao Feng wasn''t strong enough to protect a divine weapon, so Demigod Ferocity definitely had to die.


    "Sky Locking Bow!" A dark silver bow appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, and with a Beng~~!, he shot out a gold-and-purple arrow of light. The next instant, this Soul-powered gold-and-purple arrow of light pierced through Demigod Ferocity''s chest.


    Zhao Feng had already used up all the power of his God Tribulation Lightning, so he could only rely on his soul power to attack Demigod Ferocity''s weak soul.


    "Run!" Demigod Ferocity circulated his power and immediately started to fly.


    "Where do you think you''re running to!?" Zhao Feng immediately used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and chased after him.


    Zhao Feng kept on chasing after him and using the Sky Locking Bow to shoot out arrows of light. These arrows contained his understanding of illusions as well, slowing Demigod Ferocity down.


    In a certain part of the God corpse:


    Weng~~


    A layer of golden-white light suddenly spread, and a human figure jumped out.


    "I failed!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss sighed. He didn''t even manage to pass through the path of light and was sent out at the last critical moment.


    Hu~~


    Right at this moment, a devastating pressure appeared nearby.


    "Demigod Ferocity!" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was stunned and immediately hid his aura, hoping that the non-human Demigod didn''t find him.


    A bolt of scarlet lightning shot from behind and chased after Demigod Ferocity.


    "Where do you think you''re running to!?" Zhao Feng roared as he pulled back the Sky Locking Bow.


    Whoosh!


    Another arrow of light shot through Demigod Ferocity''s soul.


    "How¡­ how is this possible!?" Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss stood motionless in complete shock. Zhao Feng was chasing after Demigod Ferocity? Furthermore, Demigod Ferocity was heavily injured right now and didn''t even dare to fight back; all he was doing was running away.


    Many human and non-human Sacred Lords felt the same as Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss when they felt the shocking aura and saw what was happening. However, normal non-human Sacred Lords ran as far as they could when they saw a golden-haired youth chasing after Demigod Ferocity.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t force me!" Demigod Ferocity roared in anger.


    He felt extremely humiliated. He was a Demigod, but he was now being chased by a human Sacred Lord.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze was grim, but he didn''t say anything. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Feng wouldn''t chase after a Demigod even if they were heavily injured. However, Zhao Feng couldn''t let go of Demigod Ferocity. Even if he forgot about the revenge, he couldn''t let Demigod Ferocity spread the secret of him having a divine weapon.


    "Not good, a non-human Sacred King!" Zhao Feng''s left eye saw a non-human Sacred King in the distance. If Demigod Ferocity teamed up with this non-human Sacred King, they would definitely be able to fight back and escape from Zhao Feng.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll have to use you!" Zhao Feng''s expression became ugly as a scarlet-golden arrow appeared in his hand. He originally thought about using the God Slaying Arrow when fighting for the divine weapon, but Zhao Feng was scared that he wouldn''t be able to obtain it in the end, which would be a very big loss for him.


    Zhao Feng had also been thinking about using the God Slaying Arrow earlier in the pursuit, but he really didn''t want to do so. However, Zhao Feng now had to use the God Slaying Arrow. He couldn''t let Demigod Ferocity escape no matter what!


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng''s eyes were cold as he nocked the God Slaying Arrow on the Sky Locking Bow without any hesitation.


    Weng~~


    The God Slaying Arrow seemed to awaken the moment Sacred Power entered it. A piercing golden light spread across Heaven and Earth, and a force that could scare Gods and Ghosts alike descended onto Heaven and Earth and merged into the scarlet-golden arrow.


    "This feeling¡­!" Demigod Ferocity originally thought that he would be able to escape when he saw the non-human Sacred King, but a stinging pain suddenly spread throughout his body and soul.


    "The God Slaying Arrow!" Demigod Ferocity''s face became pale-white when he scanned out with his Divine Sense.


    Whoosh! Boom!


    Limitless golden light ripped through the sky and instantly arrived before Demigod Ferocity, engulfing his body. At the same time, this terrifying storm continued forward and devoured the non-human Sacred King as well.


    Several Sacred Lords following behind Zhao Feng to watch the show were instantly dumbfounded.


    "Killing a non-human Demigod!?"


    "Zhao Feng already has such terrifying strength!?"


    In a certain corner, Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss was still in a daze. "That was a God Slaying Arrow!"


    Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss didn''t think that Zhao Feng really had a God Slaying Arrow. Thinking about the actions he had done in the past, he felt like he was courting death.


    Weng~~ Boom! Boom!


    The storm of destruction from the God Slaying Arrow started to decrease, and Zhao Feng gazed down at the broken pieces of Demigod Ferocity''s body.


    "Demigod Ferocity is dead!" Zhao Feng said.


    "Interspatial dimension!" Zhao Feng found an extremely unstable interspatial dimension that was about to explode, and he immediately poured all of Demigod Ferocity''s wealth into the Misty Spatial World.


    At this moment, the power of the God Slaying Arrow finally started to fade away.


    "Hmm? What''s that?" Zhao Feng suddenly sensed a surge of ancient aura, and he looked in its direction.


    A slightly condensed crystal wall had been destroyed by Zhao Feng''s God Slaying Arrow, revealing a blood-red crystal. Within the blood-red crystal was a drop of gold-and-purple blood!

 1107 The Black Serpent Dragon Approaching

    Chapter 1107 - The Black Serpent Dragon Approaching


    A slightly condensed crystal wall had been destroyed by Zhao Feng''s God Slaying Arrow, revealing a blood-red crystal. Within the blood-red crystal was a drop of gold-and-purple blood!


    Zhao Feng''s bloodline started to tremble when he approached this blood-red crystal, and Zhao Feng faced a powerful ancient bloodline pressure.


    This was still under the fact that this drop of blood was sealed behind the Divine Power-filled crystal walls. If this drop of blood was completely revealed, Zhao Feng wouldn''t even be able to approach it.


    "Could this be the blood of the God corpse? From the looks of it, it''s not normal blood either. It''s very likely¡­ blood essence of the God corpse!"


    Zhao Feng shook. He didn''t expect to see such fortune after killing Demigod Ferocity with the God Slaying Arrow.


    At this moment, all the power and energy throughout the God corpse was still heading toward the head. The crystals walls in the God corpse were becoming relatively weak. Stronger Sacred Kings could even break through some crystal walls directly. This was why Zhao Feng managed to break through some of the crystal walls with his God Slaying Arrow.


    "How should I obtain this drop of God blood?"


    Zhao Feng had a problem. Although the crystals walls here were extremely weak in comparison to before, the walls around the drop of God blood were extremely tough. Unless Zhao Feng''s physical attacks could reach the level of a Demigod, it would be very hard to break obtain it.


    At this moment, the storm of destruction created by the God Slaying Arrow was slowly fading away, and the experts nearby started to approach when they felt this shocking bloodline aura.


    "Not good, the other experts will definitely find this drop of God blood!" Zhao Feng''s expression was ugly.


    "All of you, fuck off!" Zhao Feng suddenly activated the Sacred Lightning Bloodline and Blood Devil Sun bloodline as he released a strong surge of Eye Intent.


    The humans and non-humans nearby that were approaching to see the situation instantly retreated.


    "What strong power and Eye Intent! He probably already has the strength of a Sacred King!"


    "He even killed a Demigod! This human must have even more hidden cards!"


    These normal Sacred Lords were instantly scared away by Zhao Feng. The only one that was slightly stronger was Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss, but Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss didn''t dare to approach Zhao Feng. The feud between him and Zhao Feng was already very deep. Zhao Feng ignored him earlier because he was chasing after Demigod Ferocity, but if he went forward right now, it was the same as courting death.


    "Luckily, I managed to scare them back for now!" Zhao Feng let out a breath. However, the aura from this drop of God blood was too strong; he wouldn''t be able to conceal it forever. If a Sacred King or Demigod was nearby, the drop of God blood might be revealed right away, so the most important thing to do right now was to hide it or use it.


    "Little thieving cat!" Zhao Feng summoned the little thieving cat.


    Its eyes lit up as it stared at the drop of gold-and-purple blood within the blood-red crystal, and saliva almost started to leak out.


    Ding! Ding!


    The little thieving cat gripped a black dagger and stabbed downward. The next instant, the little thieving cat created a gash half an inch deep, but the deeper the little thieving cat dug, the more difficult it became.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat explained to Zhao Feng that it couldn''t activate its divine weapon right now. The little thieving cat was only using the inherent sharpness of the divine weapon to dig.


    The little thieving cat soon dug out a small hole about two inches deep. There was less than half an inch to the God blood inside, but this half an inch of crystal seemed to contain the power of the entire God; it was extremely tough.


    Ding! Ding!


    The little thieving cat dug down some more.


    Boom!


    A desolate and forceful bloodline aura was instantly released, and Zhao Feng''s expression immediately changed.


    Weng~~~~


    Without saying anything else, Zhao Feng activated the Sacred Lightning Body and perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline. At the same time, he circulated his Sacred Power to hide the aura of the God blood.


    Some of the Sacred Lords in the distance were instantly attracted by Zhao Feng''s actions.


    "What''s going on? What a terrifying old bloodline aura!"


    "Could it be that Zhao Feng has some sort of treasure that managed to awaken his perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline even further?"


    The expressions of some Sacred Lords in the distance changed as they looked in Zhao Feng''s direction, but they didn''t dare to approach. Since the distance was so far away and there was a lot of crystal walls blocking their way, their Divine Sense was unable to pass through.


    Zhao Feng''s heart shook as he stood above the God blood. The experts nearby were all Sacred Lords and didn''t dare to approach because of Zhao Feng''s display, but once stronger experts were attracted, this drop of God blood might be revealed!


    "I think I can directly absorb the power of the God blood!" Zhao Feng said happily.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll start to absorb it immediately!"


    Zhao Feng was extremely decisive. If even the little thieving cat was unable to dig out this drop of God blood, then Zhao Feng''s Spatial Movement technique would be useless as well. It was better to just directly absorb the power of the God blood. Even if other experts were attracted later, Zhao Feng would have at least obtained something out of it.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat returned to the Misty Spatial World.


    Zhao Feng reached out with a finger and put it into the thin crystal hole.


    Weng~~


    A wisp of gold-and-purple aura was directed out by Zhao Feng and merged into his body.


    Hu~~


    The bloodline within Zhao Feng''s body started to tremble as it started to absorb the aura of this ancient bloodline. In just a short while, Zhao Feng''s bloodline, body, and state of existence were upgraded.


    Weng~~


    This time, a wisp of purple-and-gold blood was sucked out by Zhao Feng and merged into his entire body.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng circulated the Sacred Lightning Body to digest this strand of gold-and-purple blood.


    Weng~~~


    A scarlet-golden divine light started to glow across the surface of Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body, and a powerful pressure was released from Zhao Feng''s body.


    "It can be even faster!" Zhao Feng increased his absorption rate.


    Weng~~


    More and more strands of gold-and-purple blood were sucked out by Zhao Feng. In just a short moment, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body, Mystic Light Sacred Power, and bloodline were strengthened. Even the power of his soul rose a bit.


    "I should just use this drop of God blood to break through to the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm!" Zhao Feng revealed an insane expression. His Intent and understanding had already reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm a long time ago in the God corpse. Furthermore, using this drop of God blood to increase his cultivation would mean no bottlenecks, and it would give him a strong foundation.


    Once he used it to break through, he would be able to absorb the rest of the God blood even more quickly.


    After making this decision, Zhao Feng started to prepare. He released all the power of his bloodline and Sacred Lightning Body in order to cover the aura of this drop of God blood.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s energy and focus reached a peak as a wave of terrifying aura spread out in every direction. Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body started to become brighter as a terrifying force enveloped Heaven and Earth.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique in order to assist himself in reaching the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, and the drop of God blood continuously healed Zhao Feng''s body and was very beneficial to his Sacred Lightning Body.


    At the very far edges of the area:


    "What''s going on? Why is there such an ancient bloodline aura?"


    At this moment, a non-human male with dark green scales and a pair of horns arrived.


    "Sacred King Green Lizard, that''s Zhao Feng. Earlier, he used a trump card and killed Demigod Ferocity, and he''s stayed in the same spot since then!" A non-human Sacred Lord immediately told Sacred King Green Lizard what happened.


    "What?" Sacred King Green Lizard''s expression changed dramatically. He couldn''t believe that Zhao Feng had killed Demigod Ferocity.


    "That brat must be extremely weak right now after killing a Demigod with a hidden card, and he''s staying there most likely because he found some kind of treasure!" Sacred King Green Lizard''s eyes spun as he looked into the distance with fiery eyes.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred King Green Lizard directly flew toward Zhao Feng.


    "What a powerful ancient bloodline aura!" Sacred King Green Lizard felt his own bloodline start to tremble, and he was suddenly suspicious about whether Zhao Feng had a highly-ranked ancient bloodline.


    Zhao Feng''s aura suddenly rose, and the Earth of Wind Lightning Sacred Power around him released a heavy pressure on Heaven and Earth.


    Sacred King Green Lizard groaned as the powerful force of gravity crushed him and made him unable to breathe.


    "He broke through¡­!" Sacred King Green Lizard was stunned.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng opened his eyes and released a powerful surge of mental energy. Sacred King Green Lizard''s mind started to shake as he had to face another power as well.


    "Let''s go!" Sacred King Green Lizard started to leave the way he came. He originally thought that Zhao Feng was extremely weak right now, but Zhao Feng just broke through instead. Such power and pressure weren''t something that he could fight against.


    "Sacred King Green Lizard, he¡­" A non-human was speechless. Sacred King Green Lizard suddenly charged over but ran back before he even managed to reach his target.


    Hu¡­.


    Zhao Feng let out a long breath. Using the momentum of breaking through and the force from the God blood, he managed to successfully scare away a non-human Sacred King, but this method probably wouldn''t work next time.


    "I''ve used up 20% of the energy from the God blood now!"


    It was hard to imagine that just a measly 20% of the God blood''s energy allowed Zhao Feng to break through. In addition, his Sacred Lightning body had now reached the late stages of the 6th level!


    If Zhao Feng was able to store this drop of blood and use it continuously, he would probably be able to become a Demigod! It was hard to imagine just how much power was contained within this drop of God blood.


    "How should I absorb the remaining power from the God blood?"


    Zhao Feng was speechless. Such a precious treasure was right in front of Zhao Feng, but he couldn''t take it away, and using the energy directly took up a lot of time.


    "Oh well, I''ll absorb however much I can!" Zhao Feng planned and used his finger to suck out the power of the God blood again.


    As the energy from the God blood was sucked away by Zhao Feng and became weaker, the strength of the blood-red crystal also faded away, so the little thieving cat might be able to dig out this drop of God blood soon.


    A black figure suddenly appeared from a crystal pathway several dozen kilometers away.


    "Found him!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon looked at the cultivating Zhao Feng.


    "That''s a drop of God blood!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression turned to shock.


    "What a bunch of retards! They were scared away by Zhao Feng!? That''s a drop of blood essence from the God corpse!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon swore.


    According to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s guess, this God corpse definitely contained the bloodline of the Giant God Race, and when it was alive, it was definitely stronger than the Ancient God Xie Yang and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Although a lot of energy has faded away from that drop of blood essence due to the passage of time and being sucked away by the mysterious power in the head of the God Corpse, that drop of blood essence is enough for me to recover to the First Rank of a True God!"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had fiery eyes as it looked at Zhao Feng and revealed a deadly smile. From its point of view, the drop of God blood already belong to it, and Zhao Feng would die without a doubt.


    Hu~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon started to prepare, but Bai Lin''s voice suddenly sounded from within the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body.


    "No, you can''t kill Zhao Feng right now! Run! Or else you and I will both die here!" Bai Lin started to panic as if she had already witnessed what terrifying event was going to happen.

 1108 An Expert Descends

    Chapter 1108 - An Expert Descends


    "No, you can''t kill Zhao Feng right now! Run! Or else you and I will both die here!" Bai Lin''s panicked voice sounded.


    "Hmph, you told me to give up on that inheritance a second ago, and now you want to stop me from killing Zhao Feng?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyebrows furrowed as a deadly light flashed through its eyes.


    There was still a lot of fortune in that place of inheritance, but the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had to leave before it could claim it all. Now that it finally found Zhao Feng and a drop of blood essence from the God corpse, Bai Lin told him to leave?


    "Don''t worry, killing him will be extremely easy!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was very excited, and green flashed through its eyes.


    The blood essence of the God corpse and the Ninth God''s Eye! The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t give up on these two treasures right in front of its eyes.


    Hu~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon turned into a black flaming dragon and flew toward Zhao Feng.


    ¡­


    Zhao Feng''s right index finger was stuck in the little crystal hole and absorbing the power of the God blood as quickly as he could.


    "My body is unable to absorb any more of the God blood''s power!"


    Zhao Feng felt extremely troubled. Right now, he had only absorbed about 20% of the total energy from the God blood, but his body had already reached the peak state.


    The main reason he could absorb so much energy from the God blood a moment ago was because he used it to break through to the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm while also increasing his state of existence and refining his Sacred Lightning Body.


    His cultivation was now at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, while his Sacred Lightning Body had reached the late stage of the 6th level. Zhao Feng''s chance of winning against Sacred King Feather Spirit now was very high even if he didn''t use the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame.


    Zhao Feng could merge this power into his left eye instead, but his current situation wasn''t very good. It would be extremely bad if the power of the God blood entered his left eye and caused some unknown changes to it. Now that the God Slaying Arrow was gone, the God''s Spiritual Eye was Zhao Feng''s biggest source of power. He didn''t dare to use the God''s Spiritual Eye to absorb the power of the God blood.


    "Who is it!?" Zhao Feng suddenly sensed something.


    Whoosh!


    A blurry flaming light had arrived in front of Zhao Feng.


    "So fast! It''s the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon!" Zhao Feng was stunned. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had been keeping an eye on Zhao Feng, and it was much stronger than before. Normal late-stage Sacred Lords probably wouldn''t even be able to block a single blow from it, and normal Sacred Kings probably wouldn''t be a match for it.


    "There''s not enough time!"


    Zhao Feng had an impatient expression. Only a portion of the God Tribulation Lightning symbols in his Lightning Soul Body had recovered, but it probably wouldn''t be able to damage the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon even if it was full.


    Earth Lightning Sacred Armor!


    Zhao Feng used a defensive secret technique from the 9th level of the Wind Lightning Technique.


    Weng~~~


    A dark yellow Sacred Power appeared around Zhao Feng''s body and instantly turned into an armor of Wind Lightning. A layer of gravity surrounded the armor as well.


    "Hehe, I''ll cripple you in one move!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon laughed wickedly as it stared at Zhao Feng with greedy eyes.


    Hu!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon reached out with its black claws, and a forbidden Destructive dragon fire shot toward Zhao Feng.


    "So strong!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned to shock. His Earth Lightning Sacred Armor definitely wouldn''t be able to block this blow from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    At the same time, he could tell from the eyes of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon that it had already noticed the God blood.


    "Sacred Lightning Shield!" A strong surge of Earth of Wind Lightning Sacred Power gathered on his right hand and formed a dark yellow shield in front of him.


    Boom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s flaming claws clashed against Zhao Feng''s right hand.


    Crack! Bam!


    The Sacred Lightning Shield condensed on Zhao Feng''s right hand immediately shattered, and a force swept over the Earth Lightning Sacred Armor around him.


    However, in the next instant, Zhao Feng''s right index finger unleashed a strong surge of bloodline power that shot forward alongside Zhao Feng''s own Sacred Power.


    Boom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon originally thought that this attack would''ve been able to crush Zhao Feng''s defense, but it was sent flying instead by this sudden bloodline power.


    "What''s going on?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was sent flying for dozens of yards, and it was injured. It looked at Zhao Feng in shock.


    "My finger¡­?" Zhao Feng also looked at his right index finger incredulously.


    A dark yellow power of Wind Lightning surrounded Zhao Feng''s body, but a gold-and-purple light came from his right index finger. Strands of gold-and-purple blood travelled across Zhao Feng''s index finger to the rest of his body.


    "My index finger has gathered too much power of the God blood!"


    Zhao Feng instantly knew how and why this happened. From the beginning, Zhao Feng used his index finger to absorb the power of the God blood through the hole. After his body could no longer absorb more power from the God blood, the energy gathered in his finger, which was used up in the clash against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "How dare this brat be so wasteful!?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon looked at Zhao Feng and couldn''t help but curse when it figured out what happened.


    That was the blood of the God corpse! It was useful even for True Gods, and Zhao Feng used this power just to fight?


    Some of the human and non-human Sacred Lords in the distance were attracted by the power unleashed by Zhao Feng.


    "That''s the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon!" a non-human Sacred Lord exclaimed as he started to tremble.


    "Oh my god, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is here!"


    "Look, is that a treasure next to Zhao Feng?" A Sacred Lord with bright eyes sensed the drop of God blood next to Zhao Feng, and everyone''s gaze was instantly attracted by a terrifying source of bloodline aura next to Zhao Feng.


    However, Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon weren''t easy targets. Even though they noticed the precious treasure, they didn''t dare to approach it.


    Within the center of the crystal ruins:


    "Hehe, the God blood is now revealed. Zhao Feng, you should just give it to me!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed a deadly smile. Even if Zhao Feng''s index finger contained part of the God blood''s power, Zhao Feng ultimately couldn''t control or use this power. It could only be released on its own.


    As long as the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was careful, it would still be able to easily kill Zhao Feng.


    However, Bai Lin''s urgent voice sounded once more from inside the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body.


    "Run, you idiot! Do you really want to die here!?" Bai Lin couldn''t do anything else in the Origin Dimension inside the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon apart from screaming.


    "The aura of a God Eye descendant¡­?" Zhao Feng paused for a moment as he felt a familiar aura. Why was there an aura of a God Eye coming from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon?


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon furrowed its eyebrows. It didn''t understand what kind of danger was here. However, Bai Lin was so tense and scared, so there might really be something that was about to happen.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon started to hesitate. The Ninth God''s Eye and the blood essence of the God corpse were too attractive, but it seemed to suddenly sense something, and its entire body trembled.


    "How is that possible!?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly revealed a fearful expression. It glanced at Zhao Feng and the God blood before shutting its eyes and running away.


    "What happened?" Zhao Feng froze. If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon used its full power, it would be relatively easy to kill Zhao Feng. However, at this critical moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had given up and chose to leave. This stunned Zhao Feng and made him feel that something bad was going to happen as well.


    Miao miao!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat exited the Misty Spatial World and started to wave its paws around urgently.


    "You divined that there is danger approaching?"


    Zhao Feng''s expression tightened. The little thieving cat''s divination abilities were definitely never wrong. Furthermore, the little thieving cat came out personally just to warn him. This meant that it was indeed extremely dangerous.


    Could there be a non-human Demigod approaching? However, Zhao Feng wasn''t willing to give up the God blood just like that.


    "Little thieving cat, help me!" Zhao Feng roared. The little thieving cat knew what Zhao Feng meant; it took out the black blade and poked the small crystal hole.


    At this moment, the crystal covering the God blood was even weaker than before, so Zhao Feng wanted to take this drop of God blood away.


    Zhao Feng also kept an eye on his surroundings. Once a non-human Demigod got too close, he would give up the God blood and use the Misty Spatial World to escape.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon has left!"


    "There''s a treasure next to Zhao Feng! It should be a drop of God blood!"


    The Sacred Lords that were scared away earlier immediately charged forward. Even Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss wasn''t able to resist the temptation of a God blood drop.


    Right at this moment, a terrifying disturbance in space started to ripple across the sky above the provincial battlefield and twisted Heaven and Earth.


    Weng~~


    Space itself split apart and turned into a bottomless black hole.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Terrifying spatial storms blew out from the cracks next to the black hole.


    Boom!


    Everything that was touched by this Divine Power aura was instantly destroyed, and the space around the black hole started to shake.


    Weng~~ Boom! Boom!


    Dust blew everywhere as Heaven and Earth became dark. A forbidden Divine Power suddenly descended and gazed over the world.


    "What is that?"


    "A black hole appeared in the sky? What''s going on?"


    There were experts from both lord dynasties on the ground. They were waiting for the Mystic Light Realm experts within the God corpse to return and didn''t expect this sudden change in the sky.


    Whoosh!


    A male covered in sparkling divine light walked out from the black hole. This male had a cold expression and wore a golden-black armor with dragons on it. He gave off a terrifying aura and was like a supreme being that suddenly descended into the world.


    Weng~


    The black hole in the sky started to contract and fade away.


    "I need to suppress some more power!" the golden-black-armored male murmured, and the magnificent aura started to become weaker as the nearby space started to calm down.


    However, the bloodlines, True Yuan, and souls of all the experts of both lord dynasties on the surface were completely suppressed. Their bodies started to tremble, and they couldn''t even raise their heads.


    "Lord Wuheng, you died in such a lost place!?" The golden-black armored male laughed.


    Xin Wuheng instinctively moved slightly within a golden-white palace in the head of the God corpse.


    "What''s come has finally come." Xin Wuheng sighed helplessly.

 1109 True God

    Chapter 1109 - True God


    Xin Wuheng instinctively moved slightly within a golden-white palace in the head of the God corpse.


    "What''s come has finally come." Xin Wuheng sighed helplessly.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Countless thin beams of golden-white light appeared from the majestic golden-white palace and traveled throughout the head of the God corpse. The next instant, experts that were seeking fortune inside the structures and the experts that were still on the path of light were sent outside the head of the God corpse.


    "What happened?" Sacred King Samsara revealed a curious expression. He had just entered a silver-white hall and was just about to take a treasure when he was suddenly teleported out.


    "This is so unfair! I just passed the path of light!" a human late-stage Sacred Lord said angrily.


    ¡­


    Within the crystal ruins, the human and non-human Sacred Lords nearby all surged toward Zhao Feng and tried to steal the drop of God blood.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng snickered coldly. Since these people all decided to be his enemies, he could stop them with just the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. Zhao Feng could directly defeat some early-stage Sacred Lords with just one wide-range soul attack.


    "Hmm? It seems many more experts have appeared!" Zhao Feng''s expression suddenly changed dramatically. His God''s Spiritual Eye sensed several people approaching; they were all Sacred Kings, and one of them was a familiar person.


    "This is bad!" Zhao Feng had a grim expression. Almost all of these experts had appeared here at the same time, and Zhao Feng finally realized that a very big danger was about to descend.


    "Little thieving cat, move aside!" Zhao Feng roared. At this moment, there was only a very thin layer of crystal over the drop of God blood. Zhao Feng put his right index finger into the small hole and circulated his power, trying to obtain the drop of God blood directly.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng condensed the power of his Ice-Water Bloodline and the Ice Imperial Spear onto his right hand.


    "Come!" Zhao Feng had to use all his power even at such a close distance.


    Weng~~~ Whoosh!


    Several strands of purple-and-gold blood surged into Zhao Feng''s index finger.


    Zhao Feng felt like his index finger was about to explode. After a moment, this strong surge of energy extended across his palm and arm.


    "Ice Imperial Spear Seal!"


    Zhao Feng activated the Ice-Water Bloodline and Ice Imperial Spear to seal the veins and flesh within his index finger. The chaotic bloodline power within his index finger started to calm down, and Zhao Feng started to absorb the power of the God blood once more.


    Zhao Feng would circulate his Ice-Water Bloodline and Ice Imperial Spear again to seal it every time he sucked away 10% of the God blood from the crystal. Zhao Feng''s plan was to suck out all the power of the God blood first and then seal his finger in ice.


    "Quick!"


    "Zhao Feng''s sucking away the power from that drop of God blood!"


    Nearly ten Sacred Lords arrived in front of Zhao Feng.


    Miao!


    The little thieving cat gripped the black blade and turned into a streak of silver-gray light as it disappeared into the air.


    The next instant, amongst the group of Sacred Lords:


    Shua!


    A streak of dark silver light flashed through space, and there was a dark glint as well.


    "Arghhhhh¡­!" The Sacred Power Whirlpool inside an early-stage Sacred Lord was instantly sliced into pieces, and his soul was also stabbed.


    Bam! Plop!


    The other Sacred Lords were startled when they saw a Sacred Lord suddenly fall to the ground, but it was too late. Another dark silver streak flashed through the group, and another Sacred Lord silently fell


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat returned to Zhao Feng''s side and looked at the other Sacred Lords smugly.


    "Zhao Feng, everyone that''s here gets a cut!"


    "Don''t even think about taking that God blood for yourself!"


    Two nearby human Sacred Kings rushed over. One of them was Sacred King Green Light. These two had been trying to find fortune in the head of the God corpse, but they were teleported out for no reason. One could imagine how angry they were.


    However, after arriving here, they found a drop of God blood. They definitely wouldn''t let go of such an opportunity, but Zhao Feng was ruining the moment. His right index finger had turned purple-and-gold and gave off a stunning surge of bloodline aura. A thin layer of ice covered the surface of his finger. Cracks appeared on the ice, but it soon recovered.


    "Little thieving cat, let''s go!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile. With a wave of his left hand, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat disappeared alongside a flash of silver.


    "Dammit, he took away the God blood!" Sacred King Green Light roared in anger. He was too far away from Zhao Feng and was unable to stop Zhao Feng from using the Misty Spatial World.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat''s figure slowly started to appear amongst a flash of silver.


    "Arghh¡­!" Zhao Feng cried out as he immediately circulated his Ice-Water Bloodline into his index finger to seal the bloodline power.


    "I''ll leave it like this for now!" Zhao Feng let out a breath as he revealed a joyful expression. The drop of God blood had been completely taken away by him. All he needed to do now was seal the remaining power of the God blood in ice, and then he could use it whenever he needed to. It would''ve been even better if there was some other method to take out the God blood, but Zhao Feng didn''t have any time to consider that.


    "Let''s leave the God corpse!" Zhao Feng had his own plan. He had already obtained enough treasures in the God corpse, but the more important thing was that he had an uneasy feeling like something big was about to happen. The little thieving cat had also divined that something bad was going to happen.


    However, an unexpected situation happened in the Misty Spatial World, and Zhao Feng instantly put his consciousness into it.


    "What? The Ancient God Seal¡­!?" Zhao Feng exclaimed. At this moment, the Ancient God Seal was floating in midair and shaking. The green lines around it flashed with a bright light.


    Boom!


    A terrifying aura of Divine Power spread from it and destroyed the surrounding area.


    "I can''t communicate with it¡­. If this continues, the Ancient God Seal might destroy the Misty Spatial World!" Zhao Feng was extremely annoyed. Why did something like this happen to his divine weapon?


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng activated his left eye and locked onto the Ancient God Seal. The next instant, a spatial ripple appeared around the Ancient God Seal.


    Whoosh!


    The Ancient God Seal was sucked into the dimension of his left eye. After entering the dimension of his left eye, the Ancient God Seal was completely suppressed, and the light radiating from it faded away as it stopped shaking.


    "What''s going on?" Zhao Feng felt that something was wrong. As the owner of this divine weapon, Zhao Feng could feel that the Ancient God Seal had only done what it did because of something important.


    Right at this instant, a powerful True Divine Sense scanned over him. The moment this True Divine Sense scanned across his body, some of his secrets were instantly revealed.


    "True Divine Sense!" Zhao Feng''s heart shook. He had interacted with Demigods before, so he was somewhat familiar with the feeling, but the feeling that this True Divine Sense gave Zhao Feng was that it was even stronger, and it gave off a noble aura. Zhao Feng also felt this True Divine Sense leave a mark on him.


    Almost all the experts within the God corpse felt this powerful True Divine Sense at the same time. Some of the Sacred Kings with stronger Soul Intent felt this True Divine Sense also leave a mark on them.


    In a certain area of the God corpse, Demigod Dark Dragon and Demigod Dragon Emperor were facing one another. They were both lightly injured.


    "What is this? Demigod Dark Dragon, this True Divine Sense is even stronger than yours!?" Demigod Dragon Emperor''s expression suddenly turned grim.


    "How is this possible? How can there be such a strong expert hiding in the continent zone?" Demigod Dark Dragon''s expression changed dramatically. Demigod Dark Dragon specialized in the soul, but his True Divine Sense was far weaker than the True Divine Sense just now.


    Boom! Boom!


    The earth above the God corpse started to tremble as the supreme Divine Power descended. The tough earth automatically started to move to two sides and make a path.


    "Aiya, I''ve come late. Lord Wuheng has already started to accept the power!" The golden-black-dragon-armored male sighed.


    "But Lord Wuheng actually gave that item to someone else?" The golden-black-dragon-armored male was surprised. In his hand was a tattered black piece of metal that contained a few green lines. The golden-black-dragon-armored male put the black metal away for now.


    "Oh well, it''s better this way. I''ll take away that thing and leave Lord Wuheng to the others!" the golden-black-dragon-armored male said with a faint smile and arrived in the air above the God corpse.


    "No one is allowed to leave!" the golden-black-dragon-armored male suddenly roared.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    A powerful source of mental energy instantly spread across the God corpse, and this forceful voice rang through the minds of all the experts of both lord dynasties.


    "Which expert is this?" Demigod Withered Breath had an ugly expression. This mysterious expert was so strong that he was able to send this sentence into the souls of everyone present.


    "There''s no point leaving either. He''s left a mark on us!" Demigod Spiritual Void from Sky Suspension Palace said. This expert was definitely stronger than Demigod Dragon Emperor, and he didn''t want to offend someone at such a level.


    At this instant, all of the experts within the God corpse stood still and gazed at the blinking figure above them.


    "What''s happening?" Nan Gongsheng was stunned.


    "Nan Gongsheng, watch out! That''s a True God!" The Evil God Mental Thought Body''s voice sounded in Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    "True God¡­!?" Nan Gongsheng''s body shook as he stared upward.


    The spatial structure of the continent zone wasn''t enough to withstand the Divine Power from a True God; thus, after becoming a God, one would leave. This was why the four-star powers in the continent zone weren''t true four-star powers. They were only pseudo four-star forces since true four-star powers required True Gods.


    However, the True Gods from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were different. Their true strength was immeasurable, and they definitely had powerful forces behind them. They had unique methods that could allow experts at the Heavenly Divine Realm to suppress themselves so they could descend to lower-ranked dimensions.


    The Evil God Mental Thought Body told some of what it knew to Nan Gongsheng.


    "So, don''t offend this True God!" The Evil God Mental Thought Body emphasized to Nan Gongsheng.


    "I am the Grand Elder of the Grand Imperial Hall. May I ask who you are?" Demigod Dragon Emperor said out loud. He was currently in the chest of the God corpse. This person was extremely strong, which shocked Demigod Dragon Emperor. Even though he was the strongest person in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, he didn''t dare to overestimate himself.


    "Everyone, give me your interspatial dimensions and let me check them!" The golden-black-dragon-armored male completely ignored what Demigod Dragon Emperor said and talked like he was a judge.


    The hearts of all the experts within the God corpse shook. They were originally full of respect for this expert that suddenly descended, but this expert wanted to check their interspatial dimensions? Everyone disliked him now.


    Whoosh!


    The golden-black-dragon-armored male waved his arm, and four transparent purple array flags immediately flew out.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The four array flags flew around the God corpse and landed in the ground, forming a dark purple barrier that trapped everyone inside it.


    "Substandard God weapon!" Demigod Dark Dragon''s eyes bulged out. The opposing party had just casually taken out a substandard God weapon. Where did he come from? Furthermore, his actions were extremely forceful and arrogant. Did he really plan on fighting against two lord dynasties by himself?

 1110 True God Tian Fa

    Chapter 1110 - True God Tian Fa


    At this instant, all the experts of both lord dynasties were unable to calm down; the mysterious expert had taken out a substandard God weapon and set up an array around the God corpse. Putting aside Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings, even Demigods would need to spend some time and effort to break out of a barrier formed by a substandard God weapon.


    "Who is this person, and why does he want to check our interspatial dimensions!?" The Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings in the God corpse roared in anger.


    In a certain part of the God corpse, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon also had an ugly expression.


    "Now we can''t leave even if we want to!" Bai Lin''s grumbling voice sounded from within the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was indeed very strong, but it was too arrogant and sometimes wasn''t willing to listen to what Bai Lin said.


    "I didn''t think that a True God from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods would come here. From the looks of it, the past life of this God corpse was definitely not normal. It must contain a big secret!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said in surprise.


    "Bai Lin, what should we do now!?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon asked. It was also trapped within the barrier that this True God set up. Maybe because there were too many people present, the True God''s True Divine Sense a moment ago didn''t pay attention to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s identity. If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon rashly attacked the barrier, it would only reveal itself in front of everyone, and this True God might personally kill it. Thus, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could only put its hopes on Bai Lin and hope that she could do something.


    "Wait." Bai Lin gave a reply simply.


    ¡­


    Elsewhere, Zhao Feng stood motionless and looked at the golden-black-dragon-armored male. He felt a formidable pressure.


    "If this person wants to kill me, it would only require one thought and a snap of his fingers¡­." Zhao Feng was stunned. He couldn''t allow his interspatial dimension to be checked or else that would mean his death.


    Why did such a terrifying expert suddenly appear in the continent zone? From the looks of it, he didn''t seem to be scared of the two lord dynasties at all.


    Zhao Feng didn''t think that such a change would happen at the last moment before he left the God corpse.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat said something next to Zhao Feng.


    "You''re saying that it''s safer to stay with the Demigods?" Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He knew what the little thieving cat meant.


    This expert was extremely arrogant and wanted to check the interspatial dimensions of all the experts present, including the Demigods. All the Demigods were the same as Zhao Feng though; they definitely had secrets they couldn''t reveal, so the Demigods on both sides would definitely fight back against this mysterious expert.


    Zhao Feng was extremely small in comparison. All he needed to do was hide behind the Demigods of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty and seek their protection.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and headed toward Demigod Dragon Emperor. Since Demigod Dragon Emperor spoke a moment ago, his position was revealed.


    While flying, Zhao Feng realized that some of the nearby experts were also heading toward the forces of the Grand Imperial Hall.


    At this moment, the power in the God corpse had almost flowed away entirely. There were many holes on the surface of the God corpse, and their power wasn''t suppressed anymore, so everyone''s senses could easily pass through the crystal walls.


    "Nan Gongsheng?" Zhao Feng saw a familiar figure.


    "Zhao Feng, quickly go to the Grand Imperial Hall''s side!" Nan Gongsheng said directly.


    "What''s the history of this expert?" Zhao Feng felt that Nan Gongsheng somehow knew something.


    "A superpower from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods broke through the spatial barrier and opened a spatial pathway so that this True God could descend here." Nan Gongsheng told this news to Zhao Feng.


    "Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods¡­ True God¡­!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically when he heard this, and he paused in the sky for a moment. It was a True God from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods? No wonder he was so cocky and didn''t even put Demigod Dragon Emperor from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty in his eyes.


    However, after knowing all of this, Zhao Feng became more worried.


    The golden-black-dragon-armored male entered the barrier and arrived at the foot of the God corpse.


    "Hand over all your interspatial dimensions!" The golden-black-dragon-armored had an emotionless expression. The nearby experts were completely suppressed by him, unable to even move.


    Seeing that these people had no reactions, the golden-black-dragon-armored male waved his hand, and a strong surge of laws materialized into a giant black hand that grabbed two Sacred Lords.


    "Let go of me!"


    "What are you doing!?"


    The two Sacred Lords struggled, but they weren''t even able to circulate their Mystic Light Sacred Power.


    The True Divine Sense of the golden-black-dragon-armored male directly entered their interspatial dimensions and Little Worlds. After searching thoroughly, the golden-black-dragon-armored male threw the two early-stage Sacred Lords away.


    "Ignorant! You''re worried that I want the trash inside your interspatial dimensions?" The golden-black-dragon-armored laughed in disdain.


    "My Lord, this is my interspatial dimension!" Some of the nearby experts immediately handed over their interspatial dimensions when they saw that the golden-black-dragon-armored male was so strong. He was even stronger than their impression of how strong Demigods were.


    "May I know who you are? We''re from Demonic Sky Palace of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty. Doing this isn''t very respectable!" a non-human Sacred King in the distance asked directly. Next to him was another Sacred King and three Sacred Lords; it was only because of this that the non-human Sacred King from Demonic Sky Palace had the courage to ask.


    The golden-black-dragon-armored male faintly raised his head and looked at this Sacred King.


    "You think you''re worthy of talking to me?" The golden-black-dragon-armored male''s eyebrows furrowed.


    Boom!


    An invisible surge of mental energy swept toward the body of this Sacred King.


    Voom!


    Before the non-human Sacred King could react, his soul was completely destroyed, and he fell to the ground, dead.


    "Sacred King Nine Demon¡­!" the other non-human Sacred King next to him said in a trembling tone. He could kill a Sacred King with just a thought? Who was this person?


    The other Sacred Lords were so scared they didn''t even dare to utter a sound. It was as if their souls and body had been frozen, and they were unable to move.


    Whoosh!


    The other non-human Sacred King immediately started to retreat.


    "Meet up with Grand Elder Demigod Destruction!" This Sacred King could only place his hopes on the Grand Elder and the other Demigods of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty.


    "Run!" The Sacred Lords that were relatively further away from the golden-black-dragon-armored male also started to run.


    "Hehehe, idiots. None of you will be able to escape!" The golden-black-dragon-armored male laughed coldly. He ignored the Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings running away as he nonchalantly inspected the interspatial dimensions of the others nearby.


    Within the chest of the God corpse, Demigod Destruction had an extremely ugly expression.


    "It''s not a good thing to just to kill a Sacred King of Demonic Sky Palace like that, right?" Demigod Destruction suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a cold tone.


    "Oh? The Eye of Destruction?" The golden-black-dragon-armored male looked at Demigod Destruction.


    "Those that go against me shall die!" The expression of the golden-black-dragon-armored male turned cold as he released limitless power that shook Heaven and Earth.


    "Forgive me!"


    "My Lord, spare me!"


    The souls of the Sacred Lords close to the golden-black-dragon-armored male were completely suppressed and about to explode. They all knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness.


    The golden-black-dragon-armored male''s words entered the souls of everyone in the God corpse. The hearts of all the experts of both lord dynasties shook. Even Demigod Dragon Emperor and Demigod Dark Dragon had extremely ugly expressions.


    "Are you challenging the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty?" Demigod Dark Dragon questioned with an icy expression.


    Demigod Dark Dragon knew that he wasn''t this male''s match in a one-on-one, but could the mysterious male really fight against all the Demigods of an entire lord dynasty?


    Demigod Dragon Emperor and Demigod Dark Dragon both locked their eyes on the golden-black-dragon-armored male, but the latter had no reaction, as if he didn''t hear anything at all.


    "Gather all the experts of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty!"


    "Gathering all the Sacred Kings and Demigods of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty!"


    The strongest expert of each lord dynasty gave the order, and all the experts spread throughout the God corpse started to gather at the chest of the God corpse.


    "Nan Gongsheng, can that person really fight against so many Demigods?" Zhao Feng was stunned.


    "How am I supposed to know!?" Nan Gongsheng said angrily. Neither of them had ever seen True Gods before, but logically speaking, even if this person was a True God from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he shouldn''t be a match for so many Demigods.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei started to head over as well.


    "Yufei!" Zhao Feng''s expression paused for a moment after inspecting Zhao Yufei. Zhao Yufei had changed dramatically; her entire body was crystalline purple as if she was a goddess of ice and jade. She radiated a noble ancient bloodline aura, and her every action and movement directed the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi nearby. From the looks of it, her fortune in the head of the God corpse wasn''t bad.


    Zhao Yufei''s arrival raised the attention of the surrounding experts from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, but they obviously cared more about the golden-black-dragon-armored male right now.


    "I''ll consolidate my cultivation first!" Zhao Feng had just broken through to the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, so his foundation wasn''t as stable as it could be, and he wasn''t very familiar with his power.


    Zhao Feng found a corner and entered seclusion. Although the danger he was facing right now was very big, he was too weak to actually do anything about it. It was better to use this chance to consolidate his power and increase his strength so that he could survive through the upcoming danger.


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness arrived in the Misty Spatial World.


    "A Demigod is quite rich!" Zhao Feng started to organize the resources that he had obtained from Demigod Ferocity. Although Demigod Ferocity had spent a lot of time chasing after Zhao Feng and company, he had definitely found big fortune when he first arrived in the God corpse before having an argument with Kun Yun.


    Furthermore, Demigod Ferocity was obviously quite rich even before entering the God corpse. He had more than a hundred substandard God Crystals, and Zhao Feng was very happy because he also found two God Crystals. Even though part of the Divine Power within them had been used up, they were still genuine God Crystals.


    "Divine Forming Technique¡­?" Zhao Feng found a secret technique within a wooden box, and he started to read through its contents.


    "It''s a secret technique that can refine Divine Power from the outside world into oneself!" Zhao Feng was overjoyed. He had a divine weapon, but no Divine Power to activate the divine weapon. The Divine Forming Technique perfectly resolved Zhao Feng''s problem, but it also had a big downside to it.


    Although the Divine Forming Technique allowed Zhao Feng to have Divine Power before becoming a True God, after Zhao Feng broke through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, it would cost him a lot of time to either get rid of this impure Divine Power or merge it into his own Divine Power.


    At this moment, the golden-black-dragon-armored male sensed that all the experts of both lord dynasties had gathered together and were about to fight back against him.


    "What dumb actions. How dare you go against the will of the Ancient Soul Palace!?" The golden-black-dragon-armored male laughed coldly when he sensed this situation.


    "Then don''t blame me ¨C True God Tian Fa ¨C for being disrespectful!"


    True God Tian Fa smiled in disdain as he looked at the dumb actions of the two lord dynasties.

 1111 Crushing Over Everything

    Chapter 1111 - Crushing Over Everything


    "Then don''t blame me ¨C True God Tian Fa ¨C for being disrespectful!"


    True God Tian Fa smiled in disdain as he looked at the dumb actions of the two lord dynasties.


    All the experts of both lord dynasties paused for a moment when they heard the name of the Ancient Soul Palace. They had never heard this before, but then the golden-black-dragon-armored male also called himself a True God. This shook the hearts of all the experts as they looked at the male incredulously.


    "He''s actually an expert at the Heavenly Divine Realm?"


    "True God? How is that possible?"


    The Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings questioned out loud.


    Although one could still remain in the continent zone for a while after breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm by suppressing their cultivation, they hadn''t heard of anyone successfully becoming a God recently. Furthermore, they knew nothing about this Ancient Soul Palace that True God Tian Fan mentioned.


    "So, it''s a God expert!" Demigod Dragon Emperor''s question was finally solved, but the answer only made him more solemn.


    "Grand Elder, could he be a God-level expert that came from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?" an expert from the Grand Imperial Hall messaged with a nervous expression.


    "Most likely!" Demigod Dragon Emperor replied.


    A Heavenly Divine Realm expert had descended once before in the history of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, so the ancient Demigods might know a little about it. The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods did indeed have methods to come to lower-levelled dimensions, but they didn''t know the details.


    The experts of the two lord dynasties became silent. Instinct told them not to act against this True God, but this True God was forcefully restraining them and was going to search through their interspatial dimensions, which went against their will.


    "Arghh¡­!" A normal Sacred Lord next to True God Tian Fa was killed with just one thought.


    "Those that don''t hand over their interspatial dimensions shall be killed!" True God Tian Fa had a cold expression as he slowly walked through the God corpse. If one didn''t bow down to him, it meant death.


    The hearts of all the experts that had gathered together shook. There was only one enemy, but he completely ignored everything and had a cocky attitude. However, he still managed to scare all of them.


    "Dragon Emperor, let''s team up!" Demigod Dark Dragon from the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty said.


    "Just what I was thinking!" Demigod Dragon Emperor agreed right away.


    If the two lord dynasties decided to still fight each other at this stage, it was the same as suicide.


    The Grand Elders of the two four-star forces told this news to the other experts, and Zhao Feng let out a breath. They only had hope of surviving if the two lord dynasties teamed up.


    Right at this moment, Sacred King Green Light and a Demigod of the Grand Imperial Hall arrived before Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, you can''t protect the God blood!" Demigod Taichi looked down at Zhao Feng and messaged.


    Sacred King Green Light had a smug smile as he looked at Zhao Feng. He knew he wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match, but even if he succeeded, the drop of God blood would become someone else''s anyway once the problem became big enough. It was better to just give this favor to a Demigod of the Grand Imperial Hall, so he went to find Demigod Taichi.


    "You''ll have to see whether you have the ability to take this God blood!" Zhao Feng laughed, and all the experts of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty were attracted by what Zhao Feng said. Even the other Demigods looked at Zhao Feng. The gazes of several experts from the Dark Moon lord Dynasty also scanned over.


    Sacred King Green Light was dazed. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to just reveal this secret to the public. What was Zhao Feng thinking?


    "Are you saying that I don''t have the ability to take it?" Demigod Taichi had a grim expression. What Zhao Feng said made him unhappy. Zhao Feng suddenly exposed the secret of the God blood to the public, so it would expend a lot of Demigod Taichi''s energy to obtain the drop of God blood in the end.


    Hu~~


    Laws and Intent surged in Heaven and Earth as a terrifying pressure descended through the air.


    "You dare!?" Zhao Feng stood up and roared.


    At the same time, Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, and Kun Yun stood next to Zhao Feng. Although Nan Gongsheng was only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, he had completely consolidated his cultivation, and the wicked aura coming from him made some Sacred Kings unwilling to offend him. Zhao Yufei had made even bigger improvements; purple light flashed across her body, and the Yuan Qi in Heaven and Earth started to gather. The bloodlines and Sacred Powers of the Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings present started to tremble uncontrollably. As for Kun Yun, he released his physical pressure and caused space itself to shake.


    "You¡­!" Demigod Taichi had an enraged expression. He never expected it to turn out like this just from trying to take a treasure from a Sacred Lord. At this point, even he didn''t dare to rashly take action against Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, Kun Yun, and Zhao Feng together.


    Demigod Taichi was obviously most wary against Kun Yun in particular. Kun Yun used to be a Demigod himself, and he would be able to recover to his peak after this journey in the God corpse.


    The expressions of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty experts turned to shock. Unknowingly, Zhao Feng now had the confidence to stand against a Demigod!


    "It looks like we have to use some special methods to get rid of Zhao Feng!" Demigod Dark Ocean from Nine Darkness Palace had a grim expression.


    While Demigod Taichi was facing Zhao Feng and company:


    "Taichi, stop!" Demigod Dragon Emperor''s icy voice sounded. He was unhappy that Zhao Feng was resisting the Grand Imperial Hall, but Zhao Feng and company''s strength wasn''t to be ignored. Although the Grand Imperial Hall wasn''t scared of them at all, they were facing a stronger enemy right now. They couldn''t allow an internal fight to happen right now since that would decrease their own battle-power.


    Demigod Taichi snickered coldly and stood down.


    The expression of Demigod Scarlet Blood from the Tie Family kept on changing. Zhao Feng and company became stronger much quicker than he expected. The Hall of Gods would definitely become a superpower, which meant that his choice back then was correct. However, Zhao Feng was too prickly; he shouldn''t have stood against a Demigod from the Grand Imperial Hall!


    "Kun Yun, I''ll give you the payment after we leave!" Zhao Feng messaged. Kun Yun had helped a lot this time, and Zhao Feng would give him reasonable payments as promised. Zhao Feng might also need Kun Yun''s help in the future, so he couldn''t split up with Kun Yun.


    I didn''t think that this brat''s luck would be so good that he managed to obtain the blood of the God corpse! Kun Yun was extremely jealous, but there was nothing he could do.


    Zhao Feng had a grim expression as his gaze swept across the Grand Imperial Hall members. The pressure was very strong. He didn''t want to offend the Grand Imperial Hall, but Demigod Taichi was being a bully and wanted to steal the God blood just because he was a Demigod?


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng entered the Misty Spatial World. Right now, the most important matter was to consolidate his strength. This would help solve the danger of the Heavenly Divine Realm expert right now and the forces of the Grand Imperial Hall later. He would be able to resolve all dangers as long as he was strong enough, and Zhao Feng didn''t lack any resources at all.


    "The blood of the God corpse!" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped as he looked at his right index finger.


    "Maybe I can do this¡­!" Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something. Now that he had used the God Slaying Arrow and lost his strongest hidden card, this index finger of his might be able to become another hidden card.


    He remembered how he had accidentally released the faint bloodline power from his index finger when the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon ambushed him. Now that Zhao Feng''s index finger contained the entire drop of blood from the God corpse, if he was able to somehow turn it into a killing move that he could control, its power might not be any weaker than the God Slaying Arrow.


    However, there were too many uncontrollable aspects of this God blood, so it was far too risky right now.


    "I can test in that direction though!"


    Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique after making his decision.


    The first of his thoughts focused on consolidating his cultivation, while the second comprehended the Divine Forming Technique he obtained from Demigod Ferocity''s items. This technique had reached the upper-tier Heaven-grade, and Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to learn it for a while. However, once there was some progress, Zhao Feng''s strength would increase dramatically.


    The third of his thoughts pondered the matter of how to make the drop of God blood into a killing move. Zhao Feng knew that the main issue was that his index finger couldn''t withstand the power of this God blood, otherwise the problem would be solved very easily.


    In the outside world, True God Tian Fa arrived before the forces of the two lord dynasties.


    "You are the ones that want to fight back?" True God Tian Fa snickered.


    Over 90% of the experts in the God corpse were fighting back, but True God Tian Fa was too lazy to even look at the Sacred Lords.


    "May I know what Lord True God wants? If you tell me, we might be able to help!" Demigod Dragon Emperor had a grim expression. He believed that True God Tian Fa had a particular reason why he wanted to see their interspatial dimensions. If they just could help this True God instead, they wouldn''t need to stand against a True God.


    "There''s no need. I will check everyone''s interspatial dimensions by myself!" True God Tian Fa had a cold expression.


    Hu!


    The laws of Heaven and Earth started to circulate and condense into a giant black hand that grabbed toward one of the Sacred Kings from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "Then the Grand Imperial Hall won''t be respectful anymore!" Demigod Dragon Emperor harrumphed coldly.


    Whoosh!


    All the Demigods from the Grand Imperial Hall and Sky Suspension Palace took action. Terrifying Divine Power gathered together and ripped True God Tian Fa''s technique to shreds.


    All the Demigods from the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty also charged out as well.


    Hu!


    The Demigod from the Tie Family, the Demigod from the Yu Family, the Demigod from Nine Darkness Palace, and some Demigods from other strong powers also started to move.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Demigods all unleashed attacks against True God Tian Fa. Divine Power surged through Heaven and Earth as these attacks surged toward True God Tian Fa like a tsunami.


    Such destructive power flipped Heaven and Earth, the sun, and the moon around. The hearts of all the other experts shook as they looked at the barrage of attacks in awe.


    "Ignorant!" True God Tian Fa''s expression was calm and cold.


    Whoosh!


    A long black spear suddenly appeared in his hand. The tip of the spear glittered with a sharp piercing power as it became transparent.


    Shu~~~~


    True God Tian Fa gripped the spear and slashed out. In an instant, all the power within Heaven and Earth seemed to be destroyed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Cracks appeared in the sky as the forbidden power of space was released and crushed all the nearby Divine Power.


    "This is the combined power of two lord dynasties?" True God Tian Fa smiled coldly. He radiated a terrifying force that made the hearts of all experts from both lord dynasties drop.


    How terrifying was this person? He managed to fight against both lord dynasties at once!


    "How is this possible!? What kind of power is this?" a Sacred Lord exclaimed. He couldn''t believe what he was seeing.


    "How can he be so strong?"


    "Impossible, even a True God can''t be so strong!"


    "The power of a divine weapon!" Demigod Dragon Emperor said in a deep tone.


    No true divine weapon had ever appeared in the continent zone before. Although the Sky Sword Pavilion managed to obtain a tattered ancient god weapon from the Divine Illusion Dimension not too long ago, the Demigod of the Sky Sword Pavilion was still unable to use all its power.


    At this moment, True God Tian Fa''s hand held a true divine weapon that he could completely control!

 1112 Sacred King Samsara’s Method

    Chapter 1112 - Sacred King Samsara''s Method


    At this moment, True God Tian Fa''s hand held a true divine weapon that he could completely control!


    True God Tian Fa used the strongest power that this dimension could withstand. Any casual blow from him could shatter space itself, and he could even use the power of these cracks in space. Since everyone else''s attacks hadn''t reached this level, they were obviously destroyed rather easily.


    Hu~~


    True God Tian Fa condensed a hand of darkness with lightning-quick speed after ripping apart everyone else''s attacks and grabbed a non-human Sacred King.


    Shua!


    True God Tian Fa''s consciousness instantly entered this Sacred King''s body and inspected all his secrets.


    Boom!


    True God Tian Fa then threw this Sacred King to the side a moment later.


    All the Demigods of both lord dynasties stood still and were completely stunned. They never would have thought that they ever would meet such a terrifying opponent in their lifetime. This person had blocked the attacks of more than a dozen Demigods at once and captured a Sacred King expert at the same time.


    The expressions of the Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings turned to disappointment, and their faces became pale-white. The fight in front of them had exceeded their imaginations.


    "He''s so strong!" Zhao Feng was shocked. He never would have thought that the situation would turn out like this.


    "Everyone, it''s time to take out your true strength!" Demigod Dragon Emperor''s grim voice sounded. Although the two lord dynasties were working together, they were still wary of each other, and the first round of attacks was just a test.


    Hu~~


    The expressions of all the Demigods changed dramatically.


    Shua!


    In an instant, the glint of several substandard God weapons flashed across Heaven and Earth.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Demigods of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty and Dark Moon Lord Dynasty flew around True God Tian Fa and started to surround him.


    "Useless!" True God Tian Fa smiled even when facing all the Demigods of two lord dynasties.


    The experts of both lord dynasties felt extremely humiliated when they heard this.


    "Sacred Dragon Strike!" Demigod Dragon Emperor waved the dragon-shaped staff, and the nearby invisible power of draconic providence moved through the air as it entered the substandard God weapon in Demigod Dragon Emperor''s hands.


    Weng~~


    The dragon-shaped golden staff instantly released a massive glow of light, and a snarling dragon materialized from it.


    "Mark of Heaven!" Demigod Withered Breath of Sky Suspension Palace unleashed a gust of wind with his right hand.


    "Ice Soul Dark Dragon!" A dark purple dragon seal appeared in Demigod Dark Dragon''s hand and unleashed an Ice-elemental soul dragon.


    "Heaven Earth Infinity!"


    "Intent of the Soul Sword!"


    "Divine Light of Destruction!"


    ¡­


    This time, the Demigods of both lord dynasties took out almost all their power as they unleashed powerful skills. Endless power of destruction crashed across Heaven and Earth toward True God Tian Fa.


    "Hmph, looks like I''ll have to show you all some skill!" True God Tian Fa harrumphed coldly when facing the attacks of all the Demigods.


    Hu~


    True God Tian Fa used a profound movement technique and instantly charged toward the Demigods of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "What? He''s charging straight toward our attacks?" The expression of a Demigod from the Grand Imperial Hall turned to shock and disbelief.


    Boom! Bam! Bam!


    True God Tian Fa instantly charged toward the Demigods of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty and headed straight into their attacks.


    Weng~~ Bam!


    The golden-black dragon armor on True God Tian Fa flashed with a divine light as golden-black liquid flowed out and formed a barrier that was as deep as the ocean. The attacks of the Demigods landed on True God Tian Fa''s armor, and they were soon engulfed without doing much damage.


    "Your attacks won''t be able to break through the defense of Seven Ocean Demonic Dragon Armor!" True God Tian Fa laughed coldly as he waved the black long spear around.


    "Retreat and defend together!" Demigod Dragon Emperor roared. He didn''t expect True God Tian Fa to withstand their attacks and still be completely unharmed.


    An offensive divine weapon and a defensive substandard God weapon¡­ True God Tian Fa had no weaknesses at all.


    "Use this chance to attack and disrupt him!" Demigod Dark Dragon ordered from the back. If the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s forces had heavy losses, then the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty wouldn''t be True God Tian Fa''s match.


    At this moment, the two lord dynasties were in the same boat!


    "Dark Soul Silence Ocean!"


    "Wave of Destruction!"


    ¡­


    The Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings of the two lord dynasties watched all of this from a distance in a daze.


    Peng! Peng! Boom!


    The Demigods of the two lord dynasties were unable to damage True God Tian Fa. They couldn''t even break through his defense. These experts of both lord dynasties could only try to dodge and avoid the attacks from True God Tian Fa, but even then, some Demigods were injured.


    "Sacred Kings, join the fight!" The Demigods of the two lord dynasties ordered, and the Sacred King started to take action. Although their individual battle-power was completely useless against True God Tian Fa, when all the Sacred Kings of both lord dynasties gathered together, it was still a terrifying force that couldn''t be ignored. Besides, all the experts present hoped that they could do something in this fight.


    Kun Yun, Sacred King Dark Screen, Sacred King Feather Spirit, Sacred King Samsara, and company all charged out. The Sacred Kings of both lord dynasties hid behind the Demigods and used attacks to interfere with True God Tian Fa.


    "Sky Shaking Punch!"


    "Dark Light Stab!"


    "Strike of the Green Sky!"


    ¡­


    "Black Serpent Dragon, are you still going to hide!?" Demigod Dark Dragon suddenly roared. He already found the hiding Black Destruction Serpent Dragon a long time ago, but since the situation was so tense, he didn''t care. However, at this moment, they needed to drag the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon over here. It could increase their battle-power while also weakening the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon as well.


    The expressions of all the experts turned to surprise, but the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was nothing in front of True God Tian Fa right now.


    In a certain corner of the God corpse, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body shook.


    "Fine, I''ll fight with you this time!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon charged out. Since its identity had already been exposed, there was no point hiding anymore. He''d rather deal with the two lord dynasties than be chased by this True God.


    "I didn''t think that there would be a descendant with the bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race here!" True God Tian Fa looked at the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon with interest.


    "Oh? There seems to be another interesting person too!" True God Tian Fa''s pupils contracted as he spoke with a faint smile. Bai Lin had an extremely grim expression, and her eyes were dim. This True God noticed her existence with just one glance. From this, one could see just how much stronger he was.


    Bai Lin couldn''t see anything related to this True God, but destiny told her that there was a thread of hope. However, she couldn''t tell where this hope came from.


    With the participation of all the Sacred Kings of both lord dynasties, the situation started to stabilize. After all, there were a few Sacred King experts whose battle-power was very close to the Demigod level. For example, Kun Yun, the Black Serpent Dragon, Sacred King Samsara, and more.


    In particular, Sacred King Samsara had the Samsara Immortal Body as well as a bunch of slaves that weren''t scared of death.


    "Continue to stall him and waste his energy!" Demigod Dragon Emperor roared. Although the combined attacks from the Demigods were unable to break through the defense of True God Tian Fa''s Seven Ocean Demonic Dragon Armor right now, they would be able to weaken this substandard God weapon after a prolonged period of time. In particular, the laws of Destruction used by Demigod Destruction and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a very obvious effect.


    "Hmph, I''m just playing with you. Do you really think you''re incredible?" True God Tian Fa snickered coldly as a powerful ancient bloodline was suddenly released from his body.


    Weng~~


    True God Tian Fa''s skin started to dim, and dark purple lines started to move across it.


    "The Black Yao Race bloodline, ranked 82nd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!" Demigod Dark Dragon''s expression turned to shock.


    "What a terrifying bloodline aura!"


    "This is an ancient bloodline from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?" Demigod Dragon Emperor''s gaze became grim as he felt an extremely strong pressure.


    True God Tian Fa had the bloodline of the Black Yao Race bloodline, which was ranked 82nd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. However, the purity of this bloodline was what exceeded everyone''s expectations.


    At this moment, all the forces of both lord dynasties were shocked by True God Tian Fa''s bloodline power. Even Demigod Dark Dragon, who had the number one Imperial Dao bloodline, wasn''t able to face the current True God Tian Fa due to the latter''s powerful bloodline.


    "Come at me! Hahaha!" True God Tian Fa was covered in darkness, and he still wore the Seven Ocean Demonic Dragon Armor as he moved through the battlefield like a ghost.


    After activating his bloodline, True God Tian Fa became an unstoppable god of slaughter!


    Peng! Boom! Boom!


    The experts of both lord dynasties were forced back by this supreme bloodline and the divine weapon.


    "Fuck, he''s too strong!" Demigod Taichi''s figure flew back several miles and slammed into a crystal wall.


    "Retreat!"


    "Quickly, make all the Sacred Lords join the fight!"


    The Demigod experts of both lord dynasties were stunned, and the Sacred Lord experts all revealed an expression of despair. What could they do against such a powerful enemy?


    "What a pure bloodline! It''s almost the same purity as the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s bloodline within the Ancient Dream Realm!" Zhao Feng was shocked. One had to know that the Sky Fire Lightning Ape was the species that actually had the bloodline whereas True God Tian Fa only had the bloodline of a Black Yao Race descendant.


    "What kind of world is the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?" Zhao Feng suddenly felt a strong urge, but right now, the current situation was the most important.


    The combined power of all experts from both lord dynasties was still unable to stop True God Tian Fa''s footsteps. One Demigod had even been caught by True God Tian Fa and was killed!


    The fall of a Demigod! Everyone''s heart fell.


    "To the Demigods present, I have a plan that might be of use!" Sacred King Samsara suddenly spoke from the back.


    Sacred King Samsara had the Eyes of Samsara, and his own battle-power was extremely high. Even normal Demigods didn''t dare to ignore his existence. Sacred King Samsara was also one of the longest-lived Sacred Kings.


    "The situation has already come to this¡­. Just tell us!" Demigod Dragon Emperor had a solemn expression. It was obvious that he didn''t put any hope in Sacred King Samsara.


    "I will need the power of the Eight Great God Eye descendants from both lord dynasties!" Sacred King Samsara messaged some of the upper echelon members of the two lord dynasties.


    "Descendants of the God Eyes!" The expressions of the peak Demigods of both lord dynasties paused for a moment.


    The Eight Great God Eyes would be ranked at least in the top twenty or even top ten bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races if they were part of them. The bloodlines of their descendants wouldn''t be much weaker, but since the Eight Great God Eyes had so many legends and rumors, no one knew the true power of their bloodlines.


    "What do you need me for?" Demigod Destruction revealed a puzzled look.


    "I have a secret technique. Once successfully activated, it can gather the power of the God Eye descendants and create a power that can destroy Heaven and Earth. It might be even able to threaten this True God. Of course, I''ve never actually tried this secret technique, so I''m not completely confident¡­." Sacred King Samsara slowly said.

 1113 The Power of the God Eye Descendants

    Chapter 1113 - The Power of the God Eye Descendants


    "I have a secret technique. Once successfully activated, it can gather the power of the God Eye descendants and create a power that can destroy Heaven and Earth. It might be even able to threaten this True God. Of course, I''ve never actually tried this secret technique, so I''m not completely confident¡­." Sacred King Samsara slowly said.


    The expressions of all experts from both lord dynasties changed slightly. Even Demigod Dragon Emperor, who didn''t have much hope, was extremely interested.


    There was a legend; once all Eight Great God Eyes gathered together, they could summon the Supreme Ancestor Eye that could change Heaven and Earth and reform the laws of the universe. Of course, this was just a legend, and it was impossible for the Eight Great God Eyes to appear in the continent zone anyway, so no one knew whether this was true or not.


    Sacred King Samsara''s method seemed to be somewhat related to this legend, but Sacred King Samsara''s method was to gather the power of the God Eye descendants, not God Eyes themselves, and there was no limit on the number.


    "Sacred King Samsara, there''s really a technique like this?" Demigod Destruction was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of such a technique.


    "I''ve never tried it, so I''m not sure if it works or not¡­." Sacred King Samsara had a grim expression.


    "Then give it a try!" Demigod Dark Dragon said. Although Sacred King Samsara didn''t guarantee that it would be successful, if it did succeed, it might really contain the power to destroy Heaven and Earth. This might be the only method they had to counter True God Tian Fa. Otherwise, both lord dynasties would face destruction.


    Demigod Dragon Emperor also nodded his head. Many of the experts from both lord dynasties became slightly expectant.


    Of course, only a few Demigods were in the conversation. Everyone else from both lord dynasties were unaware of Sacred King Samsara''s plan.


    "Then let the descendants of the God Eyes from both lord dynasties appear!" Sacred King Samsara messaged.


    "Hmm? Where''s Sacred Lord Myriad Forms from the elephantmen race?" Demigod Dark Dragon''s Divine Sense didn''t find any signs of Sacred Lord Myriad Forms.


    "Reporting to the Demigod, Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was captured by Zhao Feng!" Sacred Lord Sky Trampler from the elephantmen race immediately said.


    "Zhao Feng, hand over Sacred Lord Myriad Forms!" Demigod Destruction immediately said.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng suddenly stopped cultivating. Why did Demigod Destruction suddenly ask for Sacred Lord Myriad Forms?


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng, let Sacred Lord Myriad Forms out for now. We are doing this in order to deal with True God Tian Fa¡­." Sacred King Samsara messaged Zhao Feng about the origin of the matter.


    "There''s a secret technique that gathers the power of the Eight Great God Eye descendants?" Zhao Feng was very interested in Sacred King Samsara''s secret technique as well.


    "I will control Sacred Lord Myriad Forms!" Zhao Feng said coldly. It was impossible for him to hand over Sacred Lord Myriad Forms. It was only because of Sacred Lord Myriad Forms that Demigod Ferocity had chased after Zhao Feng for so long, so he wouldn''t just give Sacred Lord Myriad Forms up so easily.


    Zhao Feng''s attitude made all the Demigods from both lord dynasties unhappy, but they couldn''t say anything or else True God Tian Fa might sense something.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng let out Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and put the majority of his own energy into Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' mind in order to control him.


    "Controlling Sacred Lord Myriad Forms with all my energy basically means that I''m participating in this event myself using Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' identity¡­." Zhao Feng was excited.


    Whoosh!


    The black lines in the Eyes of Samsara suddenly started to spin, and a black-robed person with a pale face and one eye suddenly appeared.


    "Zhao Feng!" The Emperor of Death howled, but the Eyes of Samsara was restricting him. He was unable to move or use any of his power.


    The aura of a God Eye also appeared from within the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body. The expressions of all the experts from both lord dynasties shook slightly when they sensed this aura. Why did the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body contain the aura of a God Eye descendant?


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, release the Eye of Destiny!" Sacred King Samsara said directly.


    Before Black Destruction Serpent Dragon knew what was going on, Bai Lin managed to calculate the unknown through the traces of destiny.


    Shua!


    A normal female in white slowly walked out from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Origin Dimension.


    "Master!" Bai Lin immediately called out.


    "Bai Lin!" The Emperor of Death was slightly crazy as he revealed a sad expression.


    "All of this is my fault!" the Emperor of Death said with regret.


    After revealing herself, Bai Lin looked at Zhao Feng coldly and radiated killing intent.


    "The Eyes of Destiny!"


    Many experts were filled with shock. Although the Eye of Destiny had the lowest battle-power amongst the Eight Great God Eyes, it was the most profound and mystic God Eye.


    Many of the experts present had never even heard of someone owning the Eyes of Destiny before, but the descendant with the Eyes of Destiny was standing right next to them now. They finally understood why the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was able to safely pass through the God corpse and avoid all the dangers.


    Zhao Feng''s expression became grim. He had noticed the existence of the Eyes of Destiny when he fought against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    He also wanted to kill Bai Lin, but there was nothing he could do right now. Zhao Feng didn''t really care about the Emperor of Death at this point. The latter posed no threat to him anymore, and the Emperor of Death''s current situation was actually pretty pitiful.


    "The Eyes of Destruction, the Eyes of Myriad Forms, the Eyes of Destiny, the Eye of Death, and the Eyes of Samsara. Five descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes are gathered here!"


    The hearts of every expert here shook when they saw this scene. What would happen when the power of these God Eye descendants fused together?


    "Five God Eye descendants¡­?" True God Tian Fa felt that something bad was going to happen. As someone that lived in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he knew even more about the Eight Great God Eyes. Even in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, the Eight Great God Eyes were Gods that couldn''t be touched!


    "What can the measly descendants of the God Eyes do!?" True God Tian Fa roared.


    Whoosh!


    True God Tian Fa''s figure flashed and instantly approached the gathered forces of the two lord dynasties.


    "Stop him!" Demigod Dragon Emperor said, and the Demigods of both lord dynasties started to take action. They couldn''t allow True God Tian Fa to injure the God Eye descendants!


    "I''ll teach the technique to you all!" Sacred King Samsara messaged the descendants of the God Eyes.


    Shua! Shua!


    After receiving the technique, they immediately started to follow the requirements and work with Sacred King Samsara.


    "Summon the power within the Origin Dimension?" Zhao Feng controlled Sacred Lord Myriad Forms'' soul to enter the latter''s Myriad Forms Dimension.


    "Power of Origin!"


    The Eyes of Myriad Forms'' Power of Origin was the power of Myriad Forms ¨C the incarnation of nature.


    Weng~~


    A rainbow-colored power was directed out by Zhao Feng, and it completely ignored the soul dimension, the physical dimension, and spatial laws.


    At the same time, the other God Eye descendants summoned out their own Origin Power.


    The color of everyone''s eyes dimmed when they released this power. It was obvious that using the Power of Origin heavily affected their eyes.


    "What are they going to do with that power?" True God Tian Fa lost his confidence when he felt the terrifying power.


    Although the power was actually very weak, each surge of power was an ultimate law that normal people couldn''t control. Even True God Tian Fa didn''t know what would happen if all these powers gathered together, but he had a bad feeling.


    "I''ll just kill them then!" True God Tian Fa snickered coldly.


    "Don''t even think about it!"


    "Stop him!"


    The Demigods of the two lord dynasties instantly started to use their own skills. They became more expectant when they saw True God Tian Fa place so much importance on the combined power of the five God Eye descendants.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The five God Eye descendants all started to use a complex hand seal at the same time.


    "Freeze!" Sacred King Samsara roared as he activated his Eyes of Samsara.


    Weng~~


    The five Powers of Origin were led by his power of Samsara and combined into a mystic power that no one recognized, but it scared them all.


    This ball of power suddenly seemed to evolve.


    Boom!


    A terrifying ultimate power instantly appeared across Heaven and Earth. This power was completely void as if it didn''t even exist, yet it also affected everything in the world as if it was a god!


    "The aura of a God Eye!"


    At this moment in time, the descendants of the God Eyes felt a unique aura within this power.


    "Go!" Sacred King Samsara said lightly.


    Boom! Peng!


    Right at this instant, the Demigods of both lord dynasties were pushed aside by True God Tian Fa, and many Demigods were heavily injured by a surge of bloodline Divine Power.


    "That power¡­!?" True God Tian Fa''s eyes froze. When facing this power, his body, bloodline, and soul seemed to give up resistance and instinctively wanted to bow.


    "What is this power?"


    "I can''t understand it!"


    The Demigod experts of the two lord dynasties were the same as True God Tian Fa. They were in extreme awe of this power, and they were about to bow down to it.


    "Dark Cloud Flash!" True God Tian Fa felt a sense of danger for the first time and instantly used a divine technique.


    Shua! Shua!


    True God Tian Fa left behind a blur of afterimages as he instantly moved away a very long distance. However, when his figure stopped, the mysterious void power that dominated all other powers appeared in front of him.


    "How is this possible!?" True God Tian Fa''s expression turned to shock. This power had broken through spacetime itself and directly descended on him.


    Boom!


    A storm of devastating destruction blew out from the center of the explosion.


    Shua! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A black hole formed in the center of the explosion and engulfed all the physical and soul powers nearby!


    "What terrifying power!"


    "Is he dead?"


    The Demigod experts were in utter shock as they locked their eyes on the black hole storm.


    At this instant, the five God Eye descendants were all standing still. At the instant of activation, they seemed to gain comprehension of a secret power that no one else could. None of them knew how to explain it, but they felt an aura of a God Eye.


    However, Zhao Feng realized that the mysterious golden ball within the dimension of his left eye started to tremble as if something was about to come out.


    "Success!" Sacred King Samsara''s eyes were filled with joy. At least three God Eye descendants needed to be together in order to use this technique, so this was his first time using it.


    He originally didn''t want to reveal this secret technique, but the two lord dynasties weren''t True God Tian Fa''s match. If they lost, the life of every expert present would be controlled by True God Tian Fa, including his, so he had to do so.


    "If I can control this power for myself¡­" Sacred King Samsara was full of excitement.


    Boom! Peng!


    A deafening explosion sounded from the center of the explosion that was starting to calm down.


    "All of you are courting death!" True God Tian Fa''s enraged roar sounded.


    Whoosh!


    True God Tian Fa''s body appeared with a flash. There was a hole in his body, and the majority of the Seven Ocean Demonic Dragon Armor was shattered and dim.


    Foosh!


    True God Tian Fa spat out a mouthful of black blood.


    Gulu~~


    The shattered parts of True God Tian Fa''s Divine Body slowly started to move and recover.

 1114 Zhao Feng’s God Eye

    Chapter 1114 - Zhao Feng''s God Eye


    True God Tian Fan had a very ugly expression. He was a prodigy both in his family and the Ancient Soul Palace. He had never been so heavily injured in his entire life. He was a Third Rank True God, and even though he was suppressing his cultivation, his Divine Body and powerful bloodline should make his defense flawless.


    Now, not only were his Divine Body and bloodline injured, even the Seven Ocean Demonic Dragon Armor was heavily damaged. What made him even more surprised though was that his Divine Body was recovering very slowly after being damaged by that mysterious power.


    He didn''t think that the combined forces of a few normal God Eye descendants would be able to unleash such terrifying force.


    "He''s still not dead?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was in utter shock. Even it couldn''t understand the mystic power a moment ago.


    "What strength!" Demigod Dark Dragon was very surprised.


    The combined forces of five God Eye descendants was indeed very strong, but even this wasn''t enough to kill the True God. From this, one could see that the strength of this True God was not simple. The quality of his divine items was also probably extremely high.


    "But with this True God''s current injuries, he shouldn''t be our match now!" Demigod Dragon Emperor said.


    "Is this the power of a True God?" Zhao Feng was in complete shock as he looked at True God Tian Fa.


    The difference between even a regular True God and a Demigod was far too big. The result of their attack meant that this True God was a powerful existence even in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and he had many techniques and skills.


    "It''s too early for you to be happy!!" The purple lines on True God Tian Fa''s dark skin started to rise up and down as a terrifying bloodline Divine Power started to spread.


    "Not good!" Demigod Dragon Emperor exclaimed. All the Demigods instantly went on guard, and the Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings behind the Demigods instantly retreated.


    Bai Lin seemed to sense something and entered the Origin Dimension of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Divine technique ¨C Dark Soul Shockwave!" True God Tian Fa circulated his Soul Intent and released a chaotic wave of soul power.


    Weng~~


    The Darkness-elemental soul attack swept across every direction with extremely quick speed and travelled several thousand miles. All of Heaven and Earth became dark as the experts within the God corpse had to face a terrifying soul attack. Even the Demigods felt as if their souls had entered hell itself and were being continuously attacked.


    Although the Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings were far away from True God Tian Fa, they were still unable to block the terrifying blast of soul power. In just an instant, several dozen Sacred Lords and five Sacred Kings were killed by True God Tian Fa''s soul attack. The injuries to the Demigods became worse, and a small number of them couldn''t fight anymore.


    However, the five God Eye descendants had a bloodline of one of the Eight Great God Eyes, so their natural resistance to soul attacks was far stronger. Demigod Destruction received light injuries, Bai Lin escaped into the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body, and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was put away by Zhao Feng.


    "What terrifying battle-power!" A Demigod howled as pain surged through his head.


    True God Tian Fa managed to unleash a soul attack on the entire battlefield by himself. If this True God had started off with all his power and used this killing move right away, no one would have been able to survive.


    Hu~~


    True God Tian Fa''s eyes locked onto the area near the Sacred Kings and found that the five God Eye descendants were still alive. It was obvious that True God Tian Fa''s divine technique just now was focused on the God Eye descendants, but the result didn''t go as planned.


    Shua!


    True God Tian Fa turned into a dark streak of light and revealed a fierce cold killing intent as he charged toward the descendants of the God Eyes.


    "I will kill all of you!" True God Tian Fa revealed a gruesome expression. Right now, he needed to kill the descendants of the God Eyes before anything else.


    "Stop him!" Demigod Dragon Emperor roared. The biggest card for both lord dynasties right now was the combined power of the five God Eye descendants. They couldn''t allow any accidents to happen to them or else disaster would strike the entire continent zone.


    "Go!" All the Sacred Kings and Demigods knew this as well, so they teamed up and charged forward together even if they were severely injured.


    "Fuck off!" True God Tian Fa had a cold expression. His gaze was still trained on the five God Eye descendants.


    Hua~~~


    True God Tian Fa waved his long black spear around, and a terrifying power ripped through the air.


    Boom! Peng~


    Several Demigods and Sacred Kings were still unable to block this power even when working together.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The God corpse shattered, and Heaven and Earth fell apart. Although True God Tian Fa was heavily injured right now, he still attacked at full power, which was enough to destroy the world!


    "Everyone, please use the secret technique that you used a moment ago!" Demigod Dragon Emperor messaged the five God Eye descendants.


    They were everyone''s last hope. They had already heavily injured True God Tian Fa, so he would definitely be unable to withstand a second attack from the five God Eyes. This was the whole reason True God Tian Fa was attacking at full power.


    "There should be no problem, right?" Sacred King Samsara communicated with the others.


    "We can do it!" The other God Eye descendants didn''t reject it. After all, this regarded their life and death too. They had to use their full strength.


    "Zhao Feng, you can participate this time as well!" Sacred King Samsara thought for a while before saying.


    "Why?" Demigod Destruction was shocked, but Bai Lin and the Emperor of Death remained silent.


    "His eye contained a wisp of a God Eye aura¡­ and it has the potential to become the Ninth God''s Eye¡­!" Sacred King Samsara said.


    "What!?" Demigod Destruction was shocked. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the wisp of God Eye aura that his Eyes of Destruction felt when they performed the attack. He thought that it was just an accident, but could it be¡­ the aura came from Zhao Feng''s eye?


    "Let''s start. If possible, I will participate!" Zhao Feng''s expression became grim. Although the non-humans didn''t really like Zhao Feng already, he was still troubled by the fact that Sacred King Samsara had revealed his secret to a non-human.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The five God Eye descendants and Zhao Feng all started to use the technique.


    "Power of Origin!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom¡­!


    The five God Eye descendants all directed their Power of Origin out again.


    Hmm¡­. How should I direct the Power of Origin out from my God''s Spiritual Eye? Zhao Feng paused for a moment. Ever since he started cultivating, the God''s Spiritual Eye only released some of its hidden power on its own, but that power didn''t seem to be the true Power of Origin of the God''s Spiritual Eye. Zhao Feng also didn''t know what the Power of Origin the God''s Spiritual Eye even had or where it was.


    "Hmph! The Ninth God''s Eye is just a legend!" Demigod Destruction couldn''t help but smile after seeing no reaction from Zhao Feng after such a long time.


    The Power of Origin that God Eyes and their descendants possessed came naturally. It was impossible for other bloodlines to have them.


    On the other side, True God Tian Fa''s eyes became sharp.


    "How could the same move work on me twice!?" True God Tian Fa had a fierce gaze. He had only been severely injured the first time because he underestimated his opponents. This time, True God Tian Fa wouldn''t give the God Eye descendants a chance to use their move again.


    "Die!" True God Tian Fa unleashed his bloodline Divine Power.


    Boom!


    A terrifying beam of light suddenly shot out from the black spear like a cannon. It shot through several thousand miles and destroyed everything in its path.


    Boom! Peng! Bam!


    Five Demigods were instantly blasted aside by this terrifying power, and one of them, who was already heavily injured, was killed.


    Whoosh!


    After blasting away the Demigods, True God Tian Fa used a profound movement skill and charged toward the God Eye descendants.


    "Not good! True God Tian Fa has broken through the defenses!" Demigod Withered Breath cried out.


    "Freeze!" Sacred King Samsara felt a critical danger and immediately started to use the technique.


    Weng~~


    The five Powers of Origin were led by his power of Samsara and started to twist together.


    "It''s too late. Die!" True God Tian Fa laughed gruesomely and waved the black spear.


    However, right at this instant, the mysterious golden ball within Zhao Feng''s God Eye dimension started to tremble. It was as if the merging of the God Eye powers could direct out the Power of Origin from Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye.


    Zhao Feng went with the flow of the mysterious golden ball and started to help direct out the power.


    Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng''s eyes suddenly opened and radiated a dreamy light. The instant this power appeared, the five Powers of Origin twisting in the air instantly stopped moving and started to tremble.


    "An ancient Power of Origin!" True God Tian Fa couldn''t distinguish what kind of power this was, but he could feel a very thick source of ancient Power of Origin from it.


    "This power¡­?" True God Tian Fa''s heart shook. In an instant, his Divine Body, soul, and Divine Power were suppressed and unable to move. When he faced this mysterious dreamy power, he felt as if he was a mortal ¨C infinitesimal, as if he had to bow to this power.


    "What''s going on?"


    "This is completely different from before!"


    The hearts of the Sacred Kings and Demigods shook as they fell to the ground with blank minds.


    "The aura of Ancient Origin!" Demigod Dragon Emperor croaked out.


    Hu!


    This dreamy mysterious power charged toward the Powers of Origin from the descendants of the God Eyes.


    Weng~~


    The Powers of Origin from the five God Eye descendants were engulfed by this dreamy mysterious power. The sky started to twist as lights shone in the sky. The laws and Intents of Heaven and Earth turned chaotic and became one!


    "This is¡­!?" Zhao Feng opened his eyes. At this instant, he seemed to become Heaven and Earth, and he was able to control everything in them. His every thought could control the world. It was as if, as long as Zhao Feng had the thought, the earth would disappear.


    "Divine Technique ¨C Dark Soul Escape!" True God Tian Fa''s heart shook, and his soul trembled as he burned all his Divine Power and Soul Intent to turn into a black mist.


    "Go!"


    This time, Zhao Feng was the director of the mysterious power, and he directed this forbidden power toward True God Tian Fa.


    Weng~~ Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    At this instant, everything within several thousand miles started to shake, and all the beings bowed in front of this devastating power.


    "What kind of power is this!?" The Demigods and Sacred Kings in the God corpse felt their hearts turn cold, and they rushed away.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Wherever this forbidden power passed, Heaven and Earth turned into nothingness. The ground shattered. It was as if a part of Heaven and Earth had been lost, and the lower half of the God corpse was completely destroyed! Countless cracks rippled across the sky. The power of each crack was enough to kill normal Demigods!

 1115 Becoming Stronger

    Chapter 1115 - Becoming Stronger


    A terrifying black hole appeared ten thousand miles underground and destroyed everything around itself. Even the structure of space was affected. Everyone within the tattered God corpse was dead-silent.


    "Did True God Tian Fa die?" someone asked after a long time.


    "What kind of power was that¡­?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes bulged out in disbelief. Even it wasn''t able to see what kind of power that was despite its knowledge. The status of the Eight Great God Eyes and their descendants increased by another level in its heart.


    At the same time, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon inspected its surroundings, and its gaze finally landed on Bai Lin.


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon swept up Bai Lin and turned into a streak of black light that sped into the distance.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s escaping!" someone called out.


    "Don''t bother with it!" a Demigod from the Dark Capital Cult said. The battle with True God Tian Fa had severely injured almost all the experts of both lord dynasties. Most of their injuries shook their foundation, and they didn''t even have enough time to care for themselves, let alone the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    The experts present then turned their gazes toward the five God Eye descendants and then Zhao Feng. At the last moment, they had all witnessed the appearance of that mysterious power; it could destroy anything and everything in its way. It was unparalleled!


    The combined power of the God Eye descendants had drastically different strength during the second time than the first. Almost everyone knew the reason.


    At this moment, the God Eye descendants were in a state of comprehension. Zhao Feng, who was the center of attention right now, was also in a state of comprehension.


    Zhao Feng felt the sensation of being a god slowly disappear, and his consciousness returned to his body.


    "That was the Power of Origin from my God''s Spiritual Eye?" Zhao Feng murmured to himself. That power could completely ignore everything, and it was unstoppable.


    Of course, the only reason that power from the God''s Spiritual Eye could be released was due to the Powers of Origin from the five God Eye descendants directing it out.


    Zhao Feng also felt that the power of his God Eye had somehow changed after merging with the powers of the five God Eye descendants. At this moment, Zhao Feng started to inspect his left eye.


    "Hmm? My Soul Intent has reached the level of a Sacred King!" Zhao Feng realized the shocking change of his Soul Intent when he circulated it.


    In addition, the state of being a god and ruling over Heaven and Earth a moment ago allowed his comprehension to increase dramatically.


    "All the abilities of the God''s Spiritual Eye seemed to have evolved as well!" Zhao Feng felt that his God''s Spiritual Eye was now different from before after regaining control over it.


    All the aspects of the God''s Spiritual Eye had been strengthened by different degrees. For example, in the past, Zhao Feng could only barely duplicate a replica God Slaying Arrow at most, but now, duplicating a replica God Slaying Arrow didn''t even use much of his energy. Adding on the fact that his Soul Intent had broken through, Zhao Feng might even be able to duplicate a true God Slaying Arrow now.


    The duplication ability was just one of Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye''s ability though. Zhao Feng found that everything was different. He just didn''t know how to explain it.


    It was obvious that the release of the Power of Origin from the God''s Spiritual Eye and its interaction with the powers of the other God Eye descendants had strengthened Zhao Feng''s abilities. The God''s Spiritual Eye had improved a lot.


    "My Eyes of Destruction¡­!" An exclamation sounded from Demigod Destruction.


    Weng~~


    Demigod Destruction opened his eyes and radiated an invisible law of Destruction.


    "Demigod Destruction''s abilities seem to have become much stronger!" Demigod Dark Dragon''s expression was grim. Demigod Destruction was very talented, and his bloodline was very strong. Now that his Eye of Destruction had become stronger, his strength was now amongst the top of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty.


    Sacred King Samsara''s eyes were closed. The invisible power of Samsara around him made the nearby Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings feel uncomfortable, and they retreated.


    Although the Emperor of Death had a Samsara Immortal Body, he had the biggest improvements. At the instant of attack, the Emperor of Death felt as if he had escaped from the Samsara of Death.


    Zhao Feng saw all of this. It was obvious that it wasn''t just him that had evolved; the other God Eye descendants had also gained something.


    The descendants of the God Eyes all suddenly opened their eyes at the same time and looked at Zhao Feng with a complex expression. They obviously knew that their eye-bloodline power had become stronger because of Zhao Feng ¨C because his unknown Power of Origin had instigated their eye-bloodlines.


    Even Demigod Destruction was instinctively wary of Zhao Feng now, as if he didn''t want to be Zhao Feng''s enemy.


    The nearby experts of both lord dynasties were still in utter shock and unable to believe all of this. The combined power of the God Eye descendants completely shocked them. No one in either lord dynasty would be a match against that terrifying power.


    "Thank you, everyone!" Demigod Dragon Emperor said after a long time.


    "That''s right, it''s all thanks to Sacred King Samsara''s secret technique!" Some Demigods came up and thanked.


    "Zhao Feng¡­" On the other hand, Sacred King Green Light and Sacred King Feather Spirit were dazed and unable to admit what happened. At this instant, Zhao Feng was like a giant mountain in their hearts ¨C strong and unsurpassable.


    "He can''t have such terrifying power by himself. All of that was due to the other five God Eye descendants¡­!" Demigod Dark Ocean had an ugly expression as he murmured in his heart. The feud between Nine Darkness Palace and Zhao Feng couldn''t be resolved peacefully anymore. If Demigod Dark Ocean became wary of Zhao Feng because of this event, once Zhao Feng matured, Nine Darkness Palace would be destroyed.


    "What kind of existence is Zhao Feng''s God Eye?" Nan Gongsheng was surprised. He had obtained a lot of fortune inside the God corpse, but he was still shocked by Zhao Feng.


    "It could be the Ninth God''s Eye!" the Evil God Mental Thought Body''s voice sounded from within Nan Gongsheng''s body.


    "Hehehe!" On the other hand, Zhao Yufei had a bright smile.


    More and more eyes gathered on Zhao Feng. No one was able to ignore his existence after this battle.


    "I wonder if the Ancient Soul Palace from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods will send more True God experts after this¡­." A Sacred King not far away was slightly worried and sighed.


    Hu~~


    The atmosphere that had calmed down became tense once more, and the temperature nearby started to drop. This was what everyone else was worried about too, but they tried to persuade themselves that True Gods couldn''t descend so easily. Even if more True Gods did come, they still had the five God Eye descendants and a method to counter a True God, but everyone was still worried.


    At this moment, a voice sounded from the head of the God corpse.


    "None of you need to worry. I will be heading to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods soon, and the Ancient Soul Palace won''t send anyone over!"


    All the experts of both lord dynasties froze as they looked toward the head of the God corpse in shock. Although everyone knew that there was definitely some kind of existence within the head of the God corpse, they never would have thought that there was an expert there.


    It was hard to imagine how strong this expert in the head of the God corpse would be. Furthermore, from what this mysterious expert said, almost everyone could tell that the reason True God Tian Fa came to the continent zone in the first place was because of him. Otherwise, the mysterious expert wouldn''t have said what he did.


    Either way, they didn''t dare to offend the expert within the head of the God corpse.


    "Thank you, Senior!" Demigod Dragon Emperor said respectfully, and the experts of both lord dynasties all let out a breath. At least they knew that the Ancient Soul Palace wouldn''t send any experts to take revenge.


    Xin Wuheng opened his eyes after all the Divine Power within the golden-white palace entered his body.


    "It''s finally ended!" Xin Wuheng slowly stood up.


    "This place will soon become a barren ground. You should all leave!" Xin Wuheng said while waving his hand.


    Whoosh!


    All of the structures nearby disappeared, and the precious treasures entered an interspatial dimension within Xin Wuheng''s body.


    Zhao Feng saw all of this from the outside world with his left eye.


    "So, all the fortune there was set up by Xin Wuheng!" Zhao Feng said with surprise. The reason why Xin Wuheng did so was because he might''ve expected True God experts to appear and felt guilty about it, so he left fortune for the experts of the two lord dynasties.


    Whoosh!


    A majestic Divine Power flowed out from the head of the God corpse and sent everyone to the surface.


    "Zhao Feng, I will wait for you at the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!" a voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind as everyone left the God corpse. Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World right away after leaving the God corpse and teleported to a spatial mark nearby.


    "I shocked both lord dynasties, and they all have their eyes set on me now!" Zhao Feng had a grim expression.


    ¡­


    Discussion broke out the instant everyone appeared on the battlefield of the three provinces. Although they were outside, they could still feel the changes underground.


    "Grand Elder!"


    "Senior Dragon Emperor!"


    The members of the various forces came out to greet the upper echelons of their respective powers that came out. Those that didn''t appear had obviously died.


    "What did that senior mean by ''barren ground''?" a Sacred King asked.


    "That expert should be undergoing the tribulation now!" Demigod Dragon Emperor said.


    Xin Wuheng said that he was going to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods soon. This meant that he was going to undergo the God Tribulation.


    "True God Lightning Tribulation!" The hearts of the experts present shook.


    "Tell all the forces of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty not to approach this place!" Demigod Dragon Emperor gave the order.


    Firstly, the God Tribulation of that mysterious expert would definitely not be simple. Secondly, he couldn''t allow anyone to disturb this mysterious expert during his God Tribulation.


    On the other side, Demigod Dark Dragon from the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty gave the same orders. However, no one wanted to miss the God Tribulation to become a True God. Although the peak experts of both lord dynasties were severely injured and needed to enter seclusion to recover, they didn''t want to miss this chance. Maybe this would help them face the God Tribulation themselves in the future.


    The upper echelons of the two lord dynasties retreated several dozen thousand miles and settled down.


    ¡­


    No one sensed a purple-black light flash in a corner several dozen thousand miles away.


    "There must be some sort of secret on that brat!" A dark mental energy undulation sounded from True God Tian Fa''s soul.


    "In order to recoup my losses, I ¨C True God Tian Fa ¨C will kill him!" True God Tian Fa decided.


    At the same time, he was very interested in Zhao Feng''s eye. Being an expert from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, his understanding of the Eight Great God Eyes surpassed everyone on the continent zone.


    At this moment, a normal skinny King flew by in the distance.


    "It''s going to be you!" True God Tian Fa''s soul charged into the King''s body.


    "Arghhh¡­!" After a series of screams, the eyes of the King flashed with a purple light before he revealed a cold smile.


    True God Tian Fa found some information related to Zhao Feng when organizing the memories of this King.


    "Zhao Feng¡­? I will kill you personally!"

 1116 True God Lightning Tribulation

    Chapter 1116 - True God Lightning Tribulation


    In a forbidden area of the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty''s camp:


    "Sacred King Samsara holds the technique to combine the powers of God Eye descendants, and four of them are from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty!"


    "There''s also a unique existence ¨C Zhao Feng!"


    "We must get rid of either Sacred King Samsara or Zhao Feng!"


    At this moment, those that were present were the experts that had survived the incident in the God corpse. The non-humans had grim expressions as they spoke their views.


    After the journey to the God corpse, the two lord dynasties were both heavily injured and wouldn''t be able to fight one another for the next couple hundred years. However, the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty didn''t dare to fight the Great Gan Lord Dynasty anymore. The power of the God Eye descendants had scared them.


    "It is very difficult to deal with Sacred King Samsara!" a Sacred King said.


    Everyone knew the ability of the Eyes of Samsara. Although he was only a Sacred King, his strength was comparable to normal Demigods. Most importantly, the Sacred King Samsara''s ability to survive was very strong.


    "We need to think of a thorough plan to deal with Zhao Feng!" a Demigod from the Dark Capital Cult said. Now that the two lord dynasties were not at war against each other, it would be very hard for the non-humans to enter the center of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "Hmph, it''s not as if there aren''t people in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty that don''t want to kill Zhao Feng. I believe they won''t reject our help¡­." Demigod Dark Dragon revealed a deadly smile.


    ¡­


    Several dozen thousand miles away, Zhao Feng created a cave underground.


    "If only I was able to obtain something that could contain God Tribulation Lightning!"


    Zhao Feng was only able to obtain a very small amount of God Tribulation Lightning when he duplicated the Demigod head, so it wasn''t very worth it. Thus, he was trying to find a new item that could store God Tribulation Lightning.


    After sitting down, Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and started to consolidate his strength.


    During the trip to the God corpse, with the help of the God blood and the ability of his God Eye, Zhao Feng''s aspects had all become stronger. Although no signs of his foundation becoming unstable had appeared, Zhao Feng still needed to familiarize himself with his power. Only then would his battle-power reach its peak.


    The first of his thoughts inspected the upgraded God''s Spiritual Eye. The power of the God''s Spiritual Eye''s transparency ability, Soul eye-bloodline techniques, soul defense, duplication ability, and more were all completely different from before.


    The second of his thoughts focused on cultivating the Divine Forming Technique. Once he succeeded in cultivating the Divine Forming Technique, Zhao Feng would have True Divine Sense. Not only would his strength increase, he would also be able to use his divine weapon ¨C the Ancient God Seal.


    Zhao Feng used the third thought to inspect the remaining power of the God blood in his right index finger. At this point, Zhao Feng had escaped danger. He was thinking about whether to use this drop of God blood for cultivating or whether to turn it into an offensive technique. Just by sitting there, the drop of God blood was enhancing his finger, his palm, and even the rest of his body. It was increasing his lifeforce.


    Zhao Feng used the remaining thought to inspect what was happening in the outside world and to communicate with the forces of the Ocean Smoke Pavilion on the battlefield.


    "Bi Qingyue, send some people to search for clone secret techniques!" Zhao Feng communicated with Bi Qingyue through the Dark Heart Seal.


    "I need to plan for my second clone!" Zhao Feng was slightly excited. If he succeeded in forming the second clone the way he thought, the second clone would have the cultivation of a Quasi-Sacred Lord at the least, so he wouldn''t need to spend so much time and effort to cultivate like the first clone.


    After giving the order, Zhao Feng used his transparency ability to inspect the situation of Xin Wuheng ten thousand miles underground.


    Zhao Feng managed to familiarize himself with his power roughly three days later. His Sacred Lightning Body had reached the late stages of the 6th level, so all attacks below the level of Sacred King were unable to injure him. His Soul Intent had also become stronger, and Zhao Feng decided to test out the ability of his left eye.


    "Now, even top Sacred Kings like Sacred King Dark Screen aren''t my match!" Zhao Feng evaluated after familiarizing himself with every aspect.


    "Hmm? This is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s powerful Soul Intent found a weird soul aura on the surface of his Lightning Soul Body.


    "This is the power of Samsara?" Since Zhao Feng had touched the Origin Power of Samsara before, he was familiar with this power.


    "Why is Sacred King Samsara''s soul aura on me?" Zhao Feng was puzzled.


    Right at this moment, a terrifying Destructive pressure descended on Heaven and Earth.


    "The True God Lightning Tribulation is about to start!" Zhao Feng was excited.


    At the same time, all the experts of both lord dynasties on the battlefield opened their eyes and looked toward the sky.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Heaven and Earth became dark as giant bolts of white lightning started to move like an ancient beast. They radiated terrifying auras and produced extreme sounds as if they were a part of Heaven itself. Everything within several hundred million miles was suppressed; all living beings were pressured and unable to move.


    Boom!


    A giant bolt of white lightning descended and seemed to rip a hole in the world of darkness. The laws of Destruction flashed across the white lightning and destroyed everything they touched.


    Boom! Peng!


    The ground of the battlefield started to rip apart.


    "What terrifying God Tribulation Lightning power!" Zhao Feng was stunned. He could still feel the devastating power of God Tribulation Lightning even though it was concentrated ten thousand miles underground.


    Normal Demigods wouldn''t be able to withstand this power. Of course, Xin Wuheng wasn''t normal.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze turned downward and locked onto Xin Wuheng.


    At this moment, Xin Wuheng stood with his hands behind his back. A faint light flashed around him as he raised his head and looked up.


    "He''s so calm!?" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped.


    It was as if Xin Wuheng didn''t even care about the True God Lightning Tribulation.


    Zhao Feng''s expression suddenly froze ¨C Xin Wuheng reached out with his right hand and gently waved it, blocking the terrifying bolt of God Tribulation Lightning.


    Boom! Bam!


    Lightning flashed in the underground world.


    "Xin Wuheng''s true strength has probably exceeded normal True Gods already!" Zhao Feng analyzed with shock.


    Booom! Boom! Boom!


    The second bolt of lightning descended after the first, and it was even stronger. However, Xin Wuheng still managed to block the God Tribulation Lightning easily.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Several more bolts of lightning descended before the black clouds in the sky suddenly increased.


    Boom!


    This time, three bolts of lightning descended at the same time. Furthermore, the power of these three bolts of lightning was even more terrifying; they ripped space apart. It was obvious that the power of this God Tribulation Lightning had exceeded the limits that this dimension could withstand.


    Underground, Xin Wuheng''s eyes focused as he summoned a surge of Divine Power from the depths of his body.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Heaven and Earth shook as the ground shattered. All the experts of both lord dynasties on the battlefield, including the Demigods, were completely dumbfounded. Some of the Demigods that had obtained great fortune in the God corpse that were planning to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm were full of shock and fear.


    "How is the God Tribulation Lightning so terrifying!?" A Demigod from the Grand Imperial Hall was in awe and fear.


    "It should be because the strength of this senior is too strong, so he summoned a unique God Tribulation!" Demigod Dragon Emperor said in shock.


    The black clouds of God Tribulation Lightning in the air started to slowly fade, revealing a giant crater several thousand miles wide. Arcs of lightning radiated a terrifying law of Destruction across the crater.


    Hu~~


    Some of the Demigods of both lord dynasties started to move toward the area where the God Tribulation Lightning had descended.


    "What terrifying power of God Tribulation Lightning!" The Sacred Kings and Demigods of the two lord dynasties could only stay above the crater and were unable to delve further.


    Some Sacred Kings used this chance to sit down and refine their Sacred Bodies with the power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    No one noticed that a dark golden human figure suddenly appeared in the center of the God Tribulation Lightning ten thousand miles underground.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The instant Zhao Feng appeared, the remnant power of God Tribulation Lightning crushed toward Zhao Feng.


    Weng~~ Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng activated his Sacred Lightning Body to block the remaining power of the God Tribulation Lightning within this dimension.


    "This God Tribulation Lightning¡­ what power!"


    The resilience of Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body against lightning was very high, and it had been refined by the power of ancient lightning. However, at this moment, Zhao Feng felt that he couldn''t withstand the remaining power of God Tribulation Lightning in this area.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng activated the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline to increase the defense of his body. The power of God Tribulation Lightning started to dim, and Zhao Feng started to relax a little bit.


    "I''ll find a God Tribulation Lightning storage item first!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed. However, right at this instant, he saw a figure covered in divine light slowly approach him.


    "Xin Wuheng!" Zhao Feng was dazed. At this moment, Xin Wuheng had successfully passed through the God Tribulation. His body was completely different from before after undergoing the God Tribulation, and a weird power radiated from his body.


    Zhao Feng could roughly guess Xin Wuheng''s background now.


    "Brother Zhao, I will wait for you in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!" Xin Wuheng said calmly.


    "You''re that certain that I can break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm?" Zhao Feng smiled faintly. In reality, Zhao Feng was very curious; this was the second time Xin Wuheng had said this. Why did he hope Zhao Feng would go to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods so much?


    "If it''s you, I''m sure!" Xin Wuheng said certainly.


    Shua!


    Xin Wuheng opened his palm, and a white crystal floated toward Zhao Feng.


    "This is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s expression turned to shock. The amount of God Tribulation Lightning contained within this crystal was several times the amount of God Tribulation Lightning in the Demigod head. Furthermore, the God Tribulation Lightning within this white crystal was purer and more powerful.


    This was a God Tribulation Lightning God Crystal! Zhao Feng was slightly embarrassed to take such a big gift from Xin Wuheng.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng found that Xin Wuheng''s body was slowly fading away, and a steady undulation of Space appeared around him.


    "Brother Xin, I want to ask you a question!" Zhao Feng''s eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of something.


    "Is there any way to find a person who underwent Samsara Rebirth?" Zhao Feng asked directly. He finally understood the first sentence of what the Six Sage said ¨C the person that was the same as Liu Qinxin was probably Xin Wuheng.


    "You should go ask Sacred King Samsara!" Xin Wuheng said as his figure started to become transparent. "But the person you are searching for might be right next to Sacred King Samsara. Apparently, the Eyes of Samsara can obtain Origin Power of Samsara from the Samsara of Heaven and Earth by killing people that have been reborn through samsara. The person you are searching for might be the person that Sacred King Samsara is searching for as well!"


    Xin Wuheng completely disappeared from this world of lightning after saying that.


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically, and a cold glint of light flashed through his eyes.

 1117 Liu Qinxin’s Whereabouts

    Chapter 1117 - Liu Qinxin''s Whereabouts


    "The person you are searching for might be right next to Sacred King Samsara. Apparently, the Eyes of Samsara can obtain Origin Power of Samsara from the Samsara of Heaven and Earth by killing people that have been reborn through samsara. The person you are searching for might be the person that Sacred King Samsara is searching for as well!"


    Xin Wuheng disappeared from the continent zone, but what he said reverberated throughout Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Sacred King Samsara!" Zhao Feng''s body radiated a very powerful killing intent.


    Before Xin Wuheng had undergone the God Tribulation, Zhao Feng noticed a soul mark with the power of Samsara on his body. If Zhao Feng was correct, this should be the legendary Mark of Samsara.


    The ability of the Mark of Samsara was to recover the souls of the dead and pull them into the Samsara of Death through the Eyes of Samsara. In other words, Sacred King Samsara wanted Zhao Feng to die from the very start, then turn him into a Samsara Immortal Body. Most likely, the reason Sacred King Samsara didn''t just kill Zhao Feng when they first met was because Sacred King Samsara wanted Zhao Feng to become stronger. That way, he would be able to obtain an even stronger Samsara Immortal Body when the time came.


    "This means that the friendship from before was all fake!"


    Zhao Feng had a cold expression as he remembered what the Six Warlock Divine Sage said; "If you want to confirm the whereabouts of Liu Qinxin, you have to find the Eyes of Samsara."


    What the Sage said meant that Zhao Feng would be able to know the location of Liu Qinxin once he found the Eyes of Samsara, not by asking him.


    "Why did I understand that only now?" Zhao Feng said with regret and hatred.


    "Qinxin¡­ Qinyin!" Zhao Feng''s eyes were tough.


    Sacred King Samsara had the Eyes of Samsara and obviously cultivated the Dao of Samsara, but when Zhao Feng met Liu Qinyin, he didn''t feel any power from the Dao of Samsara in her. This meant that Sacred King Samsara didn''t think of her as a true disciple. Adding on what Xin Wuheng said, Zhao Feng was sure that Liu Qinyin was Liu Qinxin.


    The two peerless figures in white in his memories started to combine. Zhao Feng didn''t think that he would have already met Liu Qinxin but missed the chance!


    Now that he thought about it, Sacred King Samsara definitely knew that Liu Qinyin was the person that Zhao Feng wanted to find, but he hid it. This also made sense given what Xin Wuheng said ¨C Sacred King Samsara wanted to use Liu Qinyin to increase his own strength.


    "Sacred King Samsara only just left the God Corpse. He shouldn''t kill Liu Qinyin so quickly!" Zhao Feng''s expression suddenly changed. He had met Sacred King Samsara twice, so he could feel that Sacred King Samsara''s strength hadn''t increased by much. This meant that Liu Qinyin was still alive.


    Zhao Feng glanced toward the sea of lightning before waving his left arm in anger and disappearing in a flash of silver. After understanding everything, Zhao Feng couldn''t just stay here and use the God Tribulation Lightning.


    The next instant, Zhao Feng appeared on the battlefield.


    At this point in time, most of the people were gathered around the barren grounds of the God Tribulation. The Demigods and Sacred Kings were already starting to head toward the depths.


    "Zhao Feng disappeared the instant he came out. He still hasn''t given what he promised me!" Kun Yun swore in anger and activated his Golden Kun Sacred Body. His resistance against God Tribulation Lightning was very strong, so he was able to enter further than all the other Demigods present.


    "Brother Feng, where are you going?" Zhao Yufei suddenly felt uneasy.


    Weng~ Weng~


    A faint ripple of golden light swept over the area, but Zhao Feng didn''t find any sign of Sacred King Samsara.


    "Bi Qingyue, gather all the intel agents and find the whereabouts of Sacred King Samsara. Search all the places that Sacred King Samsara went before he entered the God corpse¡­." Zhao Feng communicated with Bi Qingyue directly through the Dark Heart Seal.


    In the past, Zhao Feng could only rely on luck to find Sacred King Samsara since he always hid himself and was very low-key, but now since Sacred King Samsara had appeared in the God corpse, there must have been traces, and Zhao Feng could use these tracks to find his location.


    "Understood!" Bi Qingyue, who was also gathered around the barren ground of the God Tribulation, immediately retreated with all her subordinates. She could tell how important this issue was from Zhao Feng''s tone.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World and left the battlefield.


    At a certain moment, Bi Qingyue sent some information to Zhao Feng through the Dark Heart Seal. Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly before returning to normal, and he continued on his way.


    A day later, Zhao Feng arrived at a simple wooden room that was located within the depths of a forest full of green trees. In front of the wooden room was a gentle stream. A white-clothed young girl had once been here playing the qin.


    This was the place that Zhao Feng met Liu Qinyin!


    "Qinyin, where are you? I want to hear another song!" Zhao Feng murmured gently as his emotions started to boil. Zhao Feng''s thoughts started to soak into this place, and the power of illusions appeared around him.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng recreated the scenery of him meeting Liu Qinyin with just his memories. A girl in white slowly appeared from the stream ahead of him. She held an ancient qin, and an elegant music started to sound.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng suddenly destroyed the illusion.


    "I must find Qinyin. She''s still in danger and might die any moment!" Zhao Feng''s expression shook as he forced out his emotions.


    "Sacred King Samsara!" Zhao Feng said through gritted teeth.


    "That''s right! The Mark of Samsara!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed. The Mark of Samsara that Sacred King Samsara had left behind was still in his body. The reason why Zhao Feng hadn''t wiped out this Mark of Samsara immediately was because he was scared of Sacred King Samsara finding out and going on guard against him.


    Sacred King Samsara could sense Zhao Feng''s rough location with this Mark of Samsara, but Zhao Feng could also use the Mark of Samsara to find Sacred King Samsara''s location. If used this method, that would reveal that Zhao Feng knew about the Mark of Samsara since Sacred King Samsara would notice Zhao Feng approaching. However, at this point, Zhao Feng didn''t care about that anymore!


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the depths of his soul and was soon able to find the Mark of Samsara by relying on the powerful ability of his left eye.


    Hu~


    Zhao Feng released his soul power to awaken the Mark of Samsara.


    Weng~~~


    A resistive force came from the other side of the Mark of Samsara. At this instant, Zhao Feng''s consciousness sensed a faint soul disturbance at a certain location that resonated with the Mark of Samsara within Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body.


    "Found you!" A deadly look flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes as he started to take action.


    Sacred King Samsara had definitely sensed something the moment Zhao Feng used the Mark of Samsara to find him, so Zhao Feng needed to move as quickly as possible so that Sacred King Samsara couldn''t escape.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved his arm guard and disappeared amongst a layer of silver light. Zhao Feng moved across an entire province after using the Misty Spatial World twice.


    "It''s in this province!"


    Zhao Feng could sense Sacred King Samsara''s rough location through the Mark of Samsara.


    Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and sped across Heaven and Earth.


    "Sacred King Samsara has already sensed my actions and might have already left his original position!" Zhao Feng had a grim expression.


    "Let''s try again!"


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the depths of the soul and decided to touch the Mark of Samsara once more.


    "It''s¡­"


    Zhao Feng''s expression froze as he stood still. A gray figure slowly appeared before Zhao Feng a while later.


    "Sacred King Samsara!" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as killing intent radiated from him.


    "Zhao Feng, why are you in such a rush to find me?" Sacred King Samsara looked at Zhao Feng and revealed a faint smile.


    "Did you know that the person I was searching for was Liu Qinyin from the beginning!?" Zhao Feng asked in a low tone.


    "That''s right, but she''s my target, so I can''t let you take her away!" Sacred King Samsara revealed a decisive look.


    Sacred King Samsara had used the ability of his right eye to find four "samsara reborn."


    The death of the first samsara reborn allowed him to break through to the Mystic Light Realm. The death of the second allowed him to become a Sacred King. Sacred King Samsara didn''t find any opportunities that could allow him to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm in the God corpse, so he could only use the third samsara reborn ¨C Liu Qinxin ¨C to assist his break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    Liu Qinxin''s soul contained powerful laws of Samsara, and she was very talented in the Dao of Life as well. If it wasn''t for the fact that the Heavenly Divine Realm was such a big gap, Sacred King Samsara wouldn''t want to kill his third disciple.


    The fourth samsara reborn that Sacred King Samsara had found was Xin Wuheng, but Sacred King Samsara always felt as if there was a profound power stopping him from approaching Xin Wuheng.


    "Well, you are my target, so you must die!" Zhao Feng had a grim expression. He definitely wouldn''t let Sacred King Samsara off after he admitted everything.


    "You can''t kill me with your strength!" Sacred King Samsara said confidently. However, even though he said this, Sacred King Samsara was still somewhat wary of Zhao Feng after the battle in the God corpse. In didn''t matter though, because Liu Qinyin was about to die, and his strength would increase dramatically. It was impossible for Zhao Feng to be his match.


    "How would I know without trying?" Zhao Feng snickered coldly.


    "Do you not want to know the whereabouts of Liu Qinyin?" Sacred King Samsara laughed smugly.


    Liu Qinyin was very talented in the Dao of Life and could detect danger, but Liu Qinyin was talented only in this aspect. Sacred King Samsara had never let Liu Qinyin cultivate any other techniques from the Dao of Life or let her read any knowledge about the Dao of Life, so Liu Qinyin''s usage of the Dao of Life was very normal.


    Sacred King Samsara had left a Samsara Immortal Body near Liu Qinyin before he entered the God Corpse. Of course, Sacred King Samsara didn''t tell the Samsara Immortal Body what the mission was earlier, but at this moment, Sacred King Samsara had given the order to the Samsara Immortal Body to kill Liu Qinyin.


    ¡­


    There was a pretty stream near the edge of the province that Zhao Feng was in. Next to the stream was a cave. The setup within the cave was the same as a normal family.


    At this moment, a snow-white figure walked out from the cave.


    "What should I do? The sense of danger is becoming stronger and stronger, but Master told me to wait here for him¡­." Liu Qinyin''s expression was becoming impatient.

 1118 Fighting Against Sacred King Samsara

    Chapter 1118 - Fighting Against Sacred King Samsara


    "So Sacred King Samsara''s true intention was to kill this woman!" The Emperor of Death quickly flew toward the stream.


    Whoosh!


    The Emperor of Death''s expression changed dramatically after scanning the place with his Divine Sense.


    "Master, Liu Qinyin''s not here!" the Emperor of Death immediately messaged Sacred King Samsara.


    "What? Follow my directions and kill her!" Sacred King Samsara''s impatient tone sounded in the Emperor of Death''s soul.


    Sacred King Samsara had obviously left a Mark of Samsara on Liu Qinyin''s body, so it was extremely easy for him to find her location.


    The Emperor of Death then headed in a certain direction as he followed Sacred King Samsara''s guidance.


    Liu Qinyin was flying quickly across the sky in the distance.


    "There seems to be a glint of hope in that direction. Did Master return?" Liu Qinyin''s eyes were lost, and she turned her head around a while later.


    "Hehe, Liu Qinyin, where do you think you''re running to?" The Emperor of Death descended as he released a terrifying Intent.


    Liu Qinyin was completely suppressed by the Emperor of Death and unable to move. It was as if she could turn into ashes at any moment.


    "Emperor of Death, why do you want to kill me?" Liu Qinyin said in fear and shock.


    "Hahaha, if you really want to help your master, you should just commit suicide!" The Emperor of Death laughed.


    "Impossible¡­!" Liu Qinyin didn''t believe that the Emperor of Death was being ordered to kill her by her master. Why would her master, who had raised her for more than a dozen years, send someone to kill her?


    An accident must have befallen Master, and the Emperor of Death escaped Master''s control¡­.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Right at this moment, several black figures flew out from behind Liu Qinyin.


    "I finally managed to catch up!" a cold and wicked male exclaimed.


    When Liu Qinyin saw this male, her mind suddenly shook. Wasn''t this the male from her dreams? Although the appearance was slightly different, Liu Qinyin felt like this person was the person that she had been seeing in her dreams.


    "Zhao Feng¡­? Wait, no!" The Emperor of Death''s expression changed. Although this person looked exactly like Zhao Feng, the latter''s aura and cultivation were completely different.


    "Kill him!" Zhao Wang''s eyes were cold as he stared at the Emperor of Death before looking deeply at Liu Qinyin.


    "Yes, Grand Elder!" Several Elders from the Dark Ghost Clan took out a Ghost Dao array and started to use it.


    "Hmph, you''re courting death!" The Emperor of Death released a terrifying aura.


    He had the Eye of Death and a Samsara Immortal Body, so why would he be scared of a few Emperors? Furthermore, after the battle in the God corpse, the abilities of his Eye of Death were stronger than ever.


    "We''ll see who the one courting death is!" Zhao Wang snickered coldly as he charged forward.


    "Black Hole of Death!" Zhao Wang circulated his right eye as he locked onto the area around the Emperor of Death.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A strong surge of Death power formed a black ball that radiated a terrifying suction force as it flew toward the Emperor of Death.


    The Black Hole of Death was a brand-new secret technique that Zhao Wang had created according to the supreme techniques of the Dark Ghost Clan and the Gaze of Death. Of course, Zhao Feng had also helped.


    Shua! Shua! Shua!


    On the other side, the Elders of the Dark Ghost Clan controlled the Ghost Dao array and trapped the Emperor of Death inside it.


    "The Eye of Death!" The expression of the Emperor of Death turned crazy. Wasn''t this the Eye of Death that Zhao Feng had stolen?


    "Give me back my Eye of Death!"


    ¡­


    Elsewhere, the battle between Zhao Feng and Sacred King Samsara had already started. Next to Sacred King Samsara was a Sacred King-level Samsara Immortal Body.


    "Sacred King Samsara, didn''t you want to tell me the whereabouts of Liu Qinyin?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile.


    In reality, Bi Qingyue had quickly found the various places where Sacred King Samsara stayed before he entered the God corpse soon after Zhao Feng gave her the task. Coincidentally, the place in question was very close to the Dark Ghost Clan, so Zhao Feng sent Zhao Wang to check.


    Zhao Feng could roughly guess where Liu Qinyin was by sensing the location of Sacred King Samsara through the Mark of Samsara. However, because Zhao Feng also had a Mark of Samsara on him, he didn''t immediately go find Liu Qinyin in case Sacred King Samsara sensed it. Therefore, Zhao Feng headed toward Sacred King Samsara while Zhao Wang went to save Liu Qinyin.


    This was the first time Zhao Wang had come into play, and he was very useful. Zhao Wang was already very strong, and when the two lord dynasties were scouting out the God corpse, Zhao Wang persuaded those that supported him in the Dark Ghost Clan to make him the Grand Elder. After becoming the Grand Elder, Zhao Wang didn''t hide anything anymore and used the resources that Zhao Feng gave him to cultivate crazily. He now had the strength of an unrivalled Emperor.


    Zhao Wang''s soul was split from Zhao Feng''s, so he had a lot of potential. His soul had reached the level of a Sacred Lord long ago.


    "The Eye of Death! It''s you?" Sacred King Samsara immediately understood after hearing what the Emperor of Death said. There was only one other person that had the Eye of Death.


    "Zhao Feng, how dare you try to steal my disciple!?" Sacred King Samsara roared in anger.


    Weng!


    Black lines started to spin in Sacred King Samsara''s left eye.


    Hu! Hu! Hu!


    Black-robed figures started to appear one after another and surround Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly as he looked over them. Two Sacred Kings, four late-stage Sacred Lords, and more than ten early-stage Sacred Lords. Although he knew that Sacred King Samsara had many Samsara Immortal Bodies, the number and strength of them still shocked him.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his left hand and summoned some helpers as well.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly appeared. Next to them was Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and some Sky Shaking Golden Apes, who had become Sacred Lords ages ago.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and charged directly into the enemy forces toward Sacred King Samsara.


    "Kill him!" Sacred King Samsara roared.


    As long as Sacred King Samsara had time, he could create more and more Samsara Immortal Bodies. He had left many Marks of Samsara on the Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings in the God corpse. Many experts had also died in the fight against True God Tian Fa.


    However, Sacred King Samsara had also used up a lot of his Samsara Origin Power while fighting and needed time to recover before he could turn those experts into Samsara Immortal Bodies. If Zhao Feng had come a while later, Sacred King Samsara was confident he could''ve killed Zhao Feng immediately.


    Boom!


    More than twenty Samsara Immortal Bodies started to attack Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng flew across the sky and tried to avoid the attacks of the two Sacred Kings.


    Peng! Peng! Bam!


    The attacks from the other Samsara Immortal Bodies landed on Zhao Feng, but they didn''t even leave a mark on him.


    My Sacred Lightning Body has reached the late stage of the 6th level. Attacks from anyone below the Sacred King level aren''t able to injure me!


    Zhao Feng was very confident in his Sacred Lightning Body.


    At the same time, the Sky Shaking Golden Apes and Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly quickly entered the battle and instantly suppressed the early-stage Sacred Lord Samsara Immortal Bodies. The little thieving cat and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms easily took care of the late-stage Sacred Lords.


    "How is this possible¡­? Your strength¡­!" Sacred King Samsara''s expression changed dramatically and lost all color. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng''s strength to improve so fast or for his body-strengthening technique to be so profound. The attacks from so many Samsara Immortal Bodies were actually unable to do any damage to him.


    "The two of you, stop him!" Sacred King Samsara gave the order to the two Sacred King Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    At the same time, Sacred King Samsara started to circulate his Intent to restrict Zhao Feng. The battle-power of the Eyes of Samsara themselves was very weak, but Sacred King Samsara was still a Sacred King.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng harrumphed coldly as he released a surge of terrifying Intent into the sky and knocked aside the Intent of the three Sacred Kings.


    "His Soul Intent has also reached the level of a Sacred King!" Sacred King Samsara was stunned once more. The reason why Zhao Feng broke through to the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm so quickly was very likely due to the amount of resources he obtained in the God corpse, but Sacred King Samsara didn''t expect Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent to be so strong as well. The God corpse had many resources that helped one''s cultivation and state of existence, but resources that helped the soul were extremely rare.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated his Fire of Wind Lightning Sacred Power and thrust out toward the two Sacred King Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    "This brat''s power is terrifying!"


    "The Great Gan Lord Dynasty has such a fearsome prodigy?"


    The two Sacred King Samsara Immortal Bodies were stunned.


    Boom!


    The two Sacred Kings had to use many techniques and team up to block Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "The power of God Tribulation Lightning?" The expression of one Samsara Immortal Body turned to surprise. The parts of their bodies that were damaged by the power of God Tribulation Lightning were very hard to recover from even if they had Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto Sacred King Samsara as a strong surge of Eye Intent appeared.


    Voom!


    A ball of transparent purple-and-gold lightning-fire exploded in Sacred King Samsara''s face. This technique contained a large amount of God Tribulation Lightning, so it was able to critically threaten even Sacred King Samsara''s Samsara Immortal Body.


    "Arghhh¡­!" Sacred King Samsara immediately cried out.


    At this moment, a necklace around Sacred King Samsara''s neck started to blink, and it quickly helped Sacred King Samsara block the power of the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame.


    "A peak-tier Heaven-grade soul-defending secret treasure!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned to shock. Soul-defending treasures were more precious than other treasures, and Sacred King Samsara''s treasure would be very rare even in the continent zone as a whole.


    Whoosh!


    Sacred King Samsara quickly retreated several miles and pulled away from Zhao Feng. Although he had a soul-defending treasure, Zhao Feng''s soul attacks contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning, which heavily damaged his treasure.


    "Use the substandard God weapon and kill him!" Sacred King Samsara said.


    Sacred King Samsara had also gained a lot in the God corpse.


    Whoosh!


    A substandard God weapon appeared in each of the two Sacred King Samsara Immortal Bodies'' hands. One was a golden-white pearl of light that gave off a strong glow. Profound golden talismans floated within the pearl and radiated a faint wisp of Divine Power. The other substandard God weapon was a blue jade ruler. A watery vapor floated around the ruler and summoned the element of Water from Heaven and Earth.


    "Zhao Feng, since you saved Liu Qinyin, you can go die!" Sacred King Samsara had a deadly expression.

 1119 Start of Samsara

    Chapter 1119 - Start of Samsara


    "Zhao Feng, since you saved Liu Qinyin, you can go die!"


    Sacred King Samsara had a deadly expression. Although he hadn''t managed to kill Liu Qinyin, he could kill Zhao Feng if he used all his power. He would then slowly search for Liu Qinyin, and the result would be the same.


    "Substandard God weapon?" Zhao Feng''s expression changed. He hadn''t managed to cultivate the Divine Forming Technique yet, so he was unable to use the Ancient God Seal yet. Zhao Feng had a substandard God weapon as well, but it was the Misty Spatial World, which was used for support. Therefore, Zhao Feng was extremely wary against Sacred King experts that had offensive substandard God weapons.


    Weng~~


    A golden-white light shot out from the golden-white pearl in one of the Sacred King''s hand and released a faint wisp of divine aura toward Zhao Feng. The other Sacred King also waved the blue ruler in his hand.


    Boom! Boom!


    Countless green and blue whirlpools started to spin in Heaven and Earth. It was as if the entire area had turned into an ocean. In this blue-and-green whirlpool of water, Zhao Feng was heavily suppressed, and his ability to move was reduced.


    Zhao Feng had the Ice-Water Bloodline and the Ice Imperial Spear, so he shouldn''t have been suppressed by the element of Water so much, but his Ice-Water Bloodline and Ice Imperial Spear were currently being used to seal the power of the God blood.


    Weng~~


    At the critical moment, Zhao Feng released the projection of his Little World of Wind Lightning to fight back against the ocean.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng released a giant scarlet-golden palm of lightning by combining his physical strength and Mystic Light Sacred Power.


    The Sacred Lightning Palm instantly flashed with lightning as it landed on the ocean around him and destroyed the element of Water. Zhao Feng then used his Little World of Wind Lightning to struggle free, but a golden-white beam of light shot toward Zhao Feng at the same time.


    Boom! Bam! Peng!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and used it with the Little World of Wind Lightning to block the attack from this substandard God weapon.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The golden-white light pierced through the Little World of Wind Lightning''s defense, but the remaining power didn''t cause much damage when it landed on Zhao Feng.


    "Luckily, these two Sacred Kings don''t have Divine Power!" Zhao Feng felt extremely lucky. No Divine Power meant that they couldn''t unleash the full power of the substandard God weapons, and so Zhao Feng, who had great defense, was able to counterattack.


    "Continue attacking!" Sacred King Samsara roared in anger and felt frustrated.


    The two Sacred King Samsara Immortal Bodies activated their substandard God weapons once more and attacked Zhao Feng. However, right at this moment, a dark gray light flashed past the two Sacred Kings.


    "You''re courting death!" The two Sacred Kings sensed this disturbance, and one of them used his substandard God weapon to try to kill the little thieving cat that was trying to ambush them.


    Whoosh! Ding!


    The little thieving cat slashed out a ripple of darkness that collided with the golden-white pearl of light.


    Crack!


    A crack started to appear on the surface of the golden-white pearl of light.


    "How¡­ how is this possible? My substandard God weapon¡­!" the Sacred King exclaimed as he looked at the substandard God weapon in his hand.


    "That''s impossible!" Sacred King Samsara''s expression changed dramatically as he looked at this scene in disbelief. How could a legendary substandard God weapon be damaged so easily?


    Sacred King Samsara then glanced toward the battlefield where the little thieving cat and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms were fighting. The late-stage Mystic Light Realm Samsara Immortal Bodies were sliced into countless tiny pieces and recovered very slowly.


    "Could it be¡­ a divine weapon?" Sacred King Samsara stared at the short black blade in the little thieving cat''s paws.


    One of the main reasons why True God Tian Fa could fight against all the experts of the two lord dynasties was because of his two divine weapons. From this, one could see how strong a divine weapon was.


    "Little thieving cat, good job!" Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    After recovering for such a long time, the little thieving cat finally had the ability to use the divine weapon again. However, since the little thieving cat''s cultivation wasn''t high enough, the Sacred King had sensed the little thieving cat approaching or else it would have been able to critically damage or completely destroy the substandard God weapon.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat signaled to Zhao Feng that it had just used up all the Divine Power that it could and would be unable to use the divine weapon within a short amount of time.


    "Good, let''s fight together!" Zhao Feng''s battle-intent rose.


    The little thieving cat''s strongest attack had broken the stalemate. Besides, even if the little thieving cat didn''t actually circulate the divine weapon, the sharpness and other characteristics of the divine weapon itself weren''t weaker than normal peak-tier Heaven-grade weapons.


    "I''ll finish you off first!" Zhao Feng looked at the Sacred King whose substandard God weapon was broken.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!" Zhao Feng circulated his power and unleashed countless scarlet-golden punches of lightning as he blocked the path of retreat for this Sacred King.


    At the same time, the little thieving cat used the divine weapon to heavily injure him.


    Boom! Peng!


    The human and cat combination managed to instantly maim this Sacred King. Even though the Sacred King had a Samsara Immortal Body, damage caused by the power of God Tribulation Lightning and a divine weapon was really hard to recover from.


    "Dark Blue Tsunami!" The other Sacred King immediately circulated his substandard God weapon and tried to stop Zhao Feng.


    Physical Force Lightning Domain!


    Zhao Feng circulated his of Earth of Wind Lightning Sacred Power and released a powerful domain of lightning and gravity. This domain combined with the power of Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning and clashed with the waves head-on.


    "Break!" Zhao Feng unleashed a Sacred Lightning Palm and easily destroyed this Sacred King''s restrictions. Zhao Feng then used the Wind Lightning Eye Flame and teamed up with the little thieving cat to kill the heavily-injured Sacred King.


    "Hmph, he can''t die!" Sacred King Samsara circulated his left eye in the distance and released a powerful Intent of Samsara. The Samsara Immortal Body that had been completely killed by Zhao Feng started to form again.


    As long as the Samsara Immortal Body wasn''t completely disintegrated, they could recover. However, once they were completely killed, Sacred King Samsara needed to use his Intent of Samsara to revive them.


    "I was waiting for you to revive him!" Zhao Feng circulated his Scarlet Wings of Lightning and charged toward Sacred King Samsara.


    Sacred King Samsara had been maintaining a certain distance from Zhao Feng, and since Zhao Feng had to face two Sacred Kings, he was unable to approach Sacred King Samsara. If this continued, Zhao Feng would be the one to lose.


    However, at this moment, Zhao Feng teamed up with the little thieving cat and managed to kill one Samsara Immortal Body. The remaining Sacred King wasn''t able to threaten Zhao Feng alone, and Sacred King Samsara was using an eye-bloodline technique to revive the dead Sacred King. Thus, Zhao Feng quickly escaped from the other Sacred King and charged directly toward Sacred King Samsara.


    "Not good, I fell into a trap!" Sacred King Samsara''s expression turned to surprise, and he immediately stopped reviving the dead Sacred King and started to run. His personal battle-power wasn''t actually very strong, whereas Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had already reached the level of a Sacred King. As a specialist in the soul, Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline techniques were very threatening to him.


    Whoosh!


    A powerful surge of soul energy and an aura of God Tribulation Lightning appeared from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    A ball of God Tribulation Lightning symbols appeared from Zhao Feng''s left eye. Each God Tribulation Lightning symbol contained a wisp of soul-fire as they turned into dark purple soul flames.


    Boom! Peng!


    A twisting ball of burning God Tribulation Lightning symbols landed in Sacred King Samsara''s face alongside a terrifying Soul aura.


    "Arghhh!" Sacred King Samsara screamed as pain surged through his soul. He felt as if his soul was about to explode.


    Weng~~ Weng~~


    The dark golden necklace on Sacred King Samsara''s neck instantly blinked with a dark light and quickly helped Sacred King Samsara block the Soul eye-bloodline technique.


    Weng~~


    The next instant, a powerful surge of God Tribulation Lightning power landed on the necklace.


    Crack!


    The golden-black necklace on Sacred King Samsara''s neck exploded.


    "My soul-defending secret treasure!" Sacred King Samsara''s heart jumped. Even a peak Heaven-grade soul-defending treasure was destroyed by Zhao Feng. From this, one could see how strong his Soul eye-bloodline technique was.


    "Start of Samsara!" Sacred King Samsara quickly unleashed another Samsara eye-bloodline technique while running away. The Sacred King Samsara Immortal Body chasing Zhao Feng started to disappear and suddenly jumped out of Sacred King Samsara''s left eye the next instant.


    "The Eyes of Samsara¡­!" Zhao Feng was slightly speechless. The abilities of the Eyes of Samsara were very annoying. Apart from controlling limitless people, they could also give immortal bodies.


    Now that the Eyes of Samsara displayed another ability that allowed Sacred King Samsara to summon someone back into the Eyes of Samsara and unleash him again, this basically meant that Sacred King Samsara would always have Samsara Immortal Bodies protecting him.


    Once Zhao Feng was stalled by this Sacred King, Sacred King Samsara would be able to escape very far away. However, Sacred King Samsara wasn''t at his peak right now, so it was Zhao Feng''s best chance to kill him. Once he missed this chance, the Eyes of Samsara would be able to create even more Sacred King Samsara Immortal Bodies, so it would be much harder for Zhao Feng to kill Sacred King Samsara then.


    "I can''t let him escape!"


    A strong surge of eye-bloodline power shot out from Zhao Feng''s left eye and formed a bottomless purple whirlpool that was connected to an endless purple abyss. A forbidden power appeared and started to suck out the soul of this Sacred King.


    "What is this!?" The Sacred King felt his soul escape his body uncontrollably, and fear filled his eyes. He tried to struggle but was unable to escape the fate of his soul being sucked away.


    Sacred King Samsara felt his heart shake when he saw Zhao Feng''s left eye, as if his soul was going to float out too.


    "I can''t resist anymore!"


    A dark blue human-shaped Yuan Soul slowly left the Sacred King''s body. Right at this moment, the little thieving cat turned into a silver-gray streak of light and stole the substandard God weapon from the Sacred King.


    "Good job!" Zhao Feng praised.


    Hu~


    The dark blue human-shaped Yuan Soul was pulled out by Zhao Feng. The God''s Spiritual Eye had become stronger after the evolution, and since this Sacred King''s Soul Intent was only on par with Zhao Feng''s, he obviously couldn''t stop Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng sucked this Sacred King''s soul into the dimension of his left eye.


    "Hehehe, idiot!" Sacred King Samsara snickered and laughed. Zhao Feng had just seen him summon the Samsara Immortal Body back, and yet he was still wasting his Eye Intent to suck away the soul of a Samsara Immortal Body?


    "Start of Samsara!" Sacred King Samsara used the technique once more and prepared to recall the soul and body of that Sacred King, but he froze the next instant. He suddenly realized that he only managed to summon back the body. There was no soul.


    "Sacred King Samsara, you have no more tricks left now, right!?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile coldly. He was very confident in his God Eye dimension. As expected, after the soul was sucked into the dimension of his God Eye, even the Eye of Samsara wasn''t able to take it back.

 1120 End of Samsara

    Chapter 1120 - End of Samsara


    "How is this possible?" Sacred King Samsara''s expression changed dramatically. He had never met such a situation before in his life. Without any Samsara Immortal Bodies protecting him, it would be impossible for Sacred King Samsara to match up against Zhao Feng.


    If Sacred King Samsara was at his peak, he would have several Sacred Kings and several late-stage Sacred Lords, with countless other Mystic Light Realm experts as well as two substandard God weapons. Even Demigods wouldn''t be able to kill him. Furthermore, Sacred King Samsara had the Eyes of Samsara. His ability to survive was very great, or else he wouldn''t be alive after offending so many forces from both lord dynasties.


    However, fear started to appear in Sacred King Samsara''s heart as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, you can''t kill me. You already saved Liu Qinyin and took away that substandard God weapon. Instead of having one more enemy, why not have one more friend?" Sacred King Samsara looked at Zhao Feng and said through gritted teeth.


    Zhao Feng had a cold expression. His killing intent toward Sacred King Samsara didn''t decrease at all.


    It didn''t really matter that Sacred King Samsara had tricked him; the main thing was that Sacred King Samsara had lied to Liu Qinyin and wanted to kill her in order to break through. Zhao Feng couldn''t stand this. Liu Qinxin finally managed to change her fate and obtain new life, but she was almost killed by Sacred King Samsara without even knowing anything?


    "Start of Samsara!" Seeing Zhao Feng remain unmoved, Sacred King Samsara used the Start of Samsara once more. This time, he summoned back all the other Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    The next instant, black figures shot out of Sacred King Samsara''s left eye one after another. There were about eighty Samsara Immortal Bodies; more than twenty were at the Mystic Light Realm, while the rest were all at the Void God Realm.


    Most of these Samsara Immortal Bodies were suppressed by the little thieving cat and Sacred Lord Myriad Forms, some were fighting against the Sky Shaking Golden Apes, while others had been completing various tasks for Sacred King Samsara elsewhere.


    Zhao Feng saw the Emperor of Death, as well as Sacred Lord Black Shark, the man who tried to assassinate the Ninth Prince.


    "A sinful person!" Zhao Feng looked at Sacred King Samsara. It was hard to imagine how many experts Sacred King Samsara had killed in his life.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng instantly went on guard. Although he wasn''t scared of these weaklings, Sacred King Samsara wouldn''t do something that was completely useless.


    "Restrictions of Samsara!" Sacred King Samsara circulated both his eyes and released a powerful surge of Samsara Intent, which entered these Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    Hu~ Hu~


    The bodies and souls of the Samsara Immortal Bodies started to fade away and turn into a dark mist that surrounded Zhao Feng.


    "Dammit, several dozen millennia of hard work¡­!" Sacred King Samsara was extremely unwilling to do this. When using the Restrictions of Samsara against the enemy, the souls of his Samsara Immortal Bodies would also be released.


    "Dark Shadow Instant Movement!" Sacred King Samsara used a secret technique and turned into a flash of gray light that disappeared into the sky.


    "This power¡­"


    A dark mist covered the area around Zhao Feng. This dark mist could block everything, including his Soul Intent and consciousness.


    Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!


    Zhao Feng thrust out a scarlet palm of lightning, but he found that his attack disappeared completely after entering the dark mist.


    The next instant, a scarlet palm of lightning shot toward Zhao Feng from behind.


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated his power to block it.


    "The power of Samsara doesn''t belong to the physical or soul dimensions. It is similar to the power of Destiny; a unique power that is hard to touch!" Zhao Feng had a grim expression.


    "Hmph, then I''ll just use absolute power to break everything!"


    Zhao Feng had to kill Sacred King Samsara today. He couldn''t allow himself to be trapped here. Zhao Feng raised his right hand and extended the purple-and-gold-colored finger. This finger was surrounded by faint cold air.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng released part of the seal and pointed out.


    Boom! Peng!


    A desolate and strong bloodline Divine Power turned into a beam of purple-and-blood-colored light that shot forward and pierced through everything. The dark mist around Zhao Feng was instantly pushed aside!


    However, Zhao Feng''s heart hurt because the attack just now used over 10% of the power from the God blood.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!" Zhao Feng used his Sacred Power of Wind Lightning and turned into a streak of scarlet light that disappeared into the sky.


    Sacred King Samsara was running as fast as he could in the sky.


    "Many experts died in the God corpse. I will be able to create even stronger Samsara Immortal Bodies in the future after I recover. At that point in time, I will definitely turn Zhao Feng and everyone related to him into Samsara Immortal Bodies and never let them enjoy freedom for eternity¡­."


    Sacred King Samsara felt extremely humiliated and angry. Being the descendant of a God Eye and a Sacred King that stood at the peak of the continent, he had never been in such a situation before.


    However, in the next instant, Sacred King Samsara''s body turned cold even though he had already run away for ten thousand miles. It was as if a piercing aura had locked onto him.


    Shu~~


    A scarlet-golden arrow seemed to jump out of space itself as it pierced through Sacred King Samsara''s body.


    "What''s going on?" Sacred King Samsara''s expression turned to shock.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A powerful Intent of Wind Lightning crushed toward him.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" The instant Zhao Feng approached, he used an eye-bloodline technique.


    Bam! Whoosh!


    A purple-and-gold lightning-fire exploded in Sacred King Samsara''s face, and the extreme pain made him stop for a moment.


    "You actually managed to escape?" Sacred King Samsara''s expression lost all color. Zhao Feng had managed to break through his Restrictions of Samsara in such a short amount of time!?


    "Mental Energy Spike! Soul Illusion Charge!"


    Seeing that his eye-bloodline technique wasn''t very effective against Sacred King Samsara, Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Eye Intent and released some different eye-bloodline techniques.


    "Arghhhh¡­! Zhao Feng, treat others the way you want to be treated!" Sacred King Samsara was being tortured by Zhao Feng and would be unable to escape, but Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques were unable to kill him. Having a Samsara Immortal Body and the Eyes of Samsara, Sacred King Samsara''s defenses and soul recovery speed exceeded the limits of most Sacred Kings.


    "As expected, he''s very hard to kill!"


    While Sacred King Samsara''s soul-defending capabilities weren''t as strong as Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye, his soul recovery speed was very strong.


    Shu~~ Weng! Weng!


    Zhao Feng merged the remaining power of God Tribulation Lightning into his left eye.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    A ball of God Tribulation Lightning symbols appeared in Zhao Feng''s left eye. Each God Tribulation Lightning symbol glittered with a soul flame as it turned into a crystalline purple soul-fire.


    Boom! Peng!


    A ball of burning God Tribulation Lightning symbols released a terrifying Soul aura as it bombarded Sacred King Samsara''s head.


    "Arghhh!" Sacred King Samsara screamed out in pain. Right now, he felt like he would rather die. After losing his soul-defending treasure earlier, he was unable to stop the offense of Zhao Feng''s God Tribulation Lightning power despite his Samsara Immortal Body''s recovery speed.


    After bearing the attack of the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, Sacred King Samsara became very weak.


    "Zhao Feng, spare me, and I will hand over the method of combining the powers of the God Eye descendants!"


    Sacred King Samsara believed that Zhao Feng wouldn''t decline this offer. Now that Zhao Feng had Sacred Lord Myriad Forms and an Eye of Death, he would only need one more God Eye bloodline in order to use this secret technique on his own. No expert in the continent zone would be able to disobey this power that could destroy Heaven and Earth.


    Even though he was bent on killing Sacred King Samsara, Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly for a moment.


    "Hmph, die!" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold. Although he really wanted Sacred King Samsara''s secret technique, he was someone that had morals. Those that needed to die would die!


    Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng kept on using Soul eye-bloodline techniques to weaken Sacred King Samsara''s soul. If Zhao Feng was facing someone else right now, he could just use the Gaze of the God Eye to suck their soul away, but Sacred King Samsara had the Eyes of Samsara and a very strong Soul Intent. If Sacred King Samsara decided to self-destruct in the process, Zhao Feng might be killed since he was so close to the opponent.


    "Arghhhhh¡­! Die!" Sacred King Samsara''s expression contorted as he poured all his soul power, Sacred Power, and the Intent of Samsara into his Eyes of Samsara.


    Boom!


    Sacred King Samsara compressed his power and released it through the Eyes of Samsara. A terrifying wave of power swept across Heaven and Earth, shattering mountains and destroying rivers.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng was already on guard and instantly used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique to dodge the explosion''s range.


    "Hmph, where do you think you''re running to!?" Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye locked onto a certain object and chased after it. He had already sensed that Sacred King Samsara only self-destructed one of the eyes.


    The Eyes of Samsara were split into the Samsara of Life and the Samsara of Death. The eye that exploded was the Samsara of Death while the eye containing the Samsara of Life took part of Sacred King Samsara''s Soul Intent and escaped.


    Zhao Feng took out the Sky Locking Bow and shot out several arrows.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Scarlet-golden Wind Lightning and surges of Soul power landed against the dark soul.


    "Zhao Feng, I admit that you''re very strong, but you can''t kill me!" Sacred King Samsara suddenly said arrogantly after seeing Zhao Feng catch up.


    "Samsara Rebirth!"


    Sacred King Samsara''s Soul Intent poured into the eye. Sacred King Samsara was full of hatred and regret. He hated the fact that Zhao Feng had forced him into a situation like this, and he regretted that he offended Zhao Feng.


    He was now using the last secret technique of the Samsara of Life. He would lose everything and be reborn.


    "A sinner like you still wants to reincarnate!?" Zhao Feng approached and circulated his Eye Intent.


    "Gaze of the God Eye!"


    An endless purple whirlpool that was connected to a limitless maze appeared in Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    At this moment, Sacred King Samsara''s Soul Intent was very weak. Even if he self-destructed again, he wouldn''t be able to cause much damage, so Zhao Feng used the Gaze of the God Eye directly. Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye was now combined with the Forbidden Illusion Lost World, so its ability to control and deceive was even stronger!


    "Don''t!" Sacred King Samsara''s Soul Intent had just entered the Samsara of Life and lost all resistance.


    Shua!


    The eye containing the Samsara of Life was sucked into the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye. On the other hand, Sacred King Samsara''s faint Soul Intent lost its connection with the eye of Samsara of Life at the critical moment of reincarnating and failed. His Soul Intent was then destroyed by the power of Samsara that existed in Heaven and Earth.


    "So close!" Zhao Feng felt lucky. If he was just a step slower or if the Gaze of the God Eye was just a bit weaker, Sacred King Samsara might have successfully reincarnated. Luckily, he managed to kill Sacred King Samsara, and he also obtained the eye containing the Samsara of Life.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng''s thoughts twitched, and he looked into the distance in a certain direction as he sensed something. A stunning female that seemed to come from a painting was standing in the distance.


    "You killed my master!" Liu Qinyin was in a daze as her eyes became watery, and she was filled with sadness and helplessness.

 1121 Liu Qinyin’s Decision

    Chapter 1121 - Liu Qinyin''s Decision


    "You killed my master!" Liu Qinyin was in a daze as her eyes became watery, and she was filled with sadness and helplessness.


    As far back as she could remember, she had always been with her master. To her, her master was her only family; Sacred King Samsara was like a father to her. Although the Emperor of Death said that Sacred King Samsara sent him to kill her, Liu Qinyin didn''t believe it. She didn''t understand why her master would do that.


    "He wanted to kill both you and me, so I had to kill him!" Zhao Feng didn''t know where to start, so he just gave a simple explanation.


    Liu Qinyin stood in a daze and didn''t speak. Hearing Zhao Feng say that Sacred King Samsara wanted to kill her somehow made her want to believe. She hoped that the male in front of her wasn''t lying to her. However, if this was real, that meant she didn''t have any family in this world anymore. Sadness and helplessness washed over her heart.


    "All of this is real. I won''t lie to you ever again!" Zhao Feng said. He thought that Liu Qinyin didn''t believe him. No normal person would believe him if they were in this situation.


    "You lied to me in the past?" Liu Qinyin looked at Zhao Feng with slight resentment.


    Zhao Feng stood there and looked at Liu Qinyin. At this moment, Liu Qinyin''s image combined with the image of Liu Qinxin in Zhao Feng''s memories. The two were extremely similar, whether it be their appearance, aura, or the emotion in their eyes.


    At this instant, Zhao Feng''s heart was deeply touched.


    "I lied to you in your previous life!" Zhao Feng said decisively. It didn''t matter whether or not Liu Qinyin believed him, he would respond with the truth. Zhao Feng didn''t want to and wouldn''t lie to her.


    Zhao Feng could feel how shitty Liu Qinyin''s current life was, and he could almost feel what she was feeling right now. Zhao Feng''s heart hurt. He wanted to heal Liu Qinyin''s heart and protect her. It didn''t matter whether or not she remembered what had happened, he just didn''t want Liu Qinyin to be injured.


    "Previous life?" Liu Qinyin''s body shook.


    "This is your next life. At that time, you were called Liu Qinxin!" Zhao Feng felt that his words didn''t make much sense, so he waved his hand and took out some of his memories.


    Hua! Hua! Hua!


    Screens of purple-and-gold light appeared around Liu Qinyin, and they contained countless images. Every image contained a female in white that was extremely similar to her. At this moment in time, even Zhao Feng was completely immersed in the past.


    "These are my memories. They can''t be forged!" Zhao Feng said.


    "These are your memories?" Liu Qinyin''s eyes started to become teary as she looked at the images. These images were Zhao Feng''s memories, but they were the same images in her dreams!


    Liu Qinyin suddenly understood that Zhao Feng was the youth whose name she couldn''t remember in her dreams.


    "So, all of that is real, and it was my previous life¡­." Liu Qinyin murmured. In reality, she had already foreseen this result.


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed. It seemed as if Liu Qinyin already knew a little bit about her previous life.


    "Liu Qinyin, come with me!" Zhao Feng said in a solemn tone. From this moment onward, Zhao Feng wanted to protect Liu Qinyin and not let her experience any pain.


    "I can''t go with you!" Liu Qinyin''s eyes suddenly became clear.


    "Why? You don''t believe that this is real?" Zhao Feng''s heart faintly shook.


    "I do, but I''m not Liu Qinxin anymore. You don''t need to fulfill the promise from back then!" Liu Qinyin said in a certain tone. Liu Qinyin didn''t know how to face Zhao Feng either ¨C whether to use her current identity of the identity of her previous life.


    After saying that, Liu Qinyin walked past Zhao Feng.


    "Where are you going?" Zhao Feng immediately asked. Where would Liu Qinyin go now that she had no one to rely on?


    "To find the end of my dreams!" Liu Qinyin said with a decisive gaze. The moment her memories had completely awakened, she seemed to have seen something. She had to understand it no matter what.


    Zhao Feng stood motionless. He didn''t know what Liu Qinyin was talking about, and he had no right to stop her.


    Just like that, Zhao Feng watched as Liu Qinyin slowly left.


    "Bi Qingyue, make sure every intel agent in the continent zone pays attention to this person!" Zhao Feng communicated with Bi Qingyue through the Dark Heart Seal and sent Liu Qinyin''s appearance and current location to Bi Qingyue.


    "This still isn''t enough¡­!" Zhao Feng murmured to himself.


    "Old Monster Xu, I''m giving you a mission to protect someone right now!" Zhao Feng immediately communicated with Old Monster Xu, who was further away.


    Now that his Soul Intent had reached the level of a Sacred King, his senses through the Dark Heart Seal were even greater. Amongst his subordinates, Bi Qingyue and Supreme Emperor Dark Night both had important tasks, and Zhao Feng couldn''t protect Liu Qinyin in secret himself, so he chose Old Monster Xu.


    Zhao Feng then returned to the Hall of Gods. If there wasn''t Nine Darkness Palace and some other enemies in hiding, Zhao Feng would have followed Liu Qinyin in secret by himself.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World, and his figure disappeared amongst a flash of silver. He soon arrived at the Hall of Gods.


    "Since most of the forces from both lord dynasties are gathered at the God Tribulation barren grounds on the battlefield, news of me killing Sacred King Samsara will probably take some time to spread!" Zhao Feng analyzed.


    Killing Sacred King Samsara was actually a bad thing in that sense. All the forces of both lord dynasties would think that Zhao Feng killed Sacred King Samsara for the secret technique that could gather the power of the God Eye descendants. This meant that both lord dynasties would be suspicious about whether Zhao Feng had that secret technique or not.


    This secret technique was too important; even the Grand Imperial Hall wouldn''t sit still. This would push Zhao Feng to the peak of everyone''s attention, but at the same time, they wouldn''t dare to offend Zhao Feng easily!


    "Strength is everything. If my strength was high enough to make both lord dynasties worry, then I wouldn''t have any worries!"


    Zhao Feng''s will to become strong was further toughened. However, it was too hard to reach a level that both lord dynasties would be wary of, so Zhao Feng needed to expand the power of his organization.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng put the last bottle of Hundred Origin Sacred Honey into the dimension of his left eye so he could replicate it.


    After the small evolution of his God Eye, Zhao Feng''s duplication ability became stronger.


    Five days later:


    "Take these resources and raise a group of Sacred Lords with potential in the shortest amount of time possible!" Zhao Feng handed an interspatial ring to Bi Qingyue.


    Apart from the Hundred Origin Sacred Honey that could increase one''s chance of breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm, it also contained some resources that he had obtained in the Ancient Dream Realm and the God corpse. Almost all of these resources were useless to Zhao Feng, but they were very useful to peak Emperors and normal Sacred Lords.


    Zhao Feng believed that Bi Qingyue would sort all this out well. After giving out the orders, Zhao Feng immediately entered seclusion.


    "I obtained a lot in the God corpse. If I manage to digest all of this, my overall strength will increase dramatically!" Zhao Feng said with a tough gaze.


    He then used the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to multitask.


    The first of his thoughts cultivated the Divine Forming Technique. Zhao Feng had already managed to learn its first steps, and he would be able to refine Divine Power into his own soon. After obtaining Divine Power, Zhao Feng''s physical attacks would become much stronger, and he would be able to use the power of the Ancient God Seal. Zhao Feng was looking forward to seeing the power of his first divine weapon.


    Zhao Feng used the second of his thoughts to analyze the technique to create his second clone. Bi Qingyue had messaged Zhao Feng with many books and theories regarding clones. Zhao Feng believed that he would be able to form his second clone before long, and the battle-power of this clone would come in handy very quickly.


    Zhao Feng used the third of his thoughts to absorb the power of God Tribulation Lightning. Zhao Feng first completely absorbed the power of God Tribulation Lightning from the Demigod head.


    "Lightning Tribulation Crystal¡­!" Zhao Feng took out a golden-white crystal pearl that flashed with lightning. The instant this Lightning God Crystal pearl appeared, a Destructive force of God Tribulation Lightning spread.


    At this instant, everyone within the Hall of Gods felt their souls and bodies shake.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng instantly put this God Crystal into the dimension of his left eye.


    "Xin Wuheng, thank you!" Zhao Feng smiled and said. He felt like Xin Wuheng had purposely prepared this Lightning God Crystal specifically for him. A Lightning God Crystal that contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning wasn''t something that normal Lightning God Crystals could be compared to. Furthermore, the quantity and quality of the God Tribulation Lightning within this Lightning God Crystal exceeded Zhao Feng''s imaginations. It would definitely be enough for Zhao Feng to use.


    ¡­


    While Zhao Feng was in seclusion, the power of the God Tribulation in the God Tribulation barren grounds was starting to fade away.


    Almost the entire God corpse had been blasted into smithereens, so no precious treasures were left behind. There were only a few not-too-bad God Tribulation Lightning storage items, and they were taken away by the experts of both lord dynasties.


    The peak experts of the two lord dynasties then returned to their strongholds to recover their injuries or attempt a breakthrough.


    However, at this moment, a shocking piece of news started to spread. Sacred King Samsara, the person who had done the most against the True God expert, had been slain by Zhao Feng. This news shocked the peak forces of both lord dynasties.


    At the same time, Bi Qingyue picked out a group of members from the Hall of Gods that had contributed a lot and had potential. She then gave them resources that could allow them to break through to the Mystic Light Realm.


    At this moment, all the members and disciples of the Hall of Gods were filled with hot blood, and they were filled with admiration and respect for their Grand Elder Zhao Feng.


    The success rate of them breaking through to the Mystic Light Realm reached over 80% with the help of the Hundred Origin Sacred honey and the protection of draconic providence. The overall strength of the Hall of Gods increased once more.


    Several dozen days later, Zhao Feng opened his eyes.


    Weng~~


    A holy golden-white light gave off a supreme power as it appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. This was the first surge of Divine Power he had refined from a normal God crystal and the Divine Forming Technique.


    Weng~~


    A triangular black piece of metal appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. He was looking forward to testing out his divine weapon.

 1122 Attacking the Earth Crystal Race

    Chapter 1122 - Attacking the Earth Crystal Race


    In order to test the power of the divine weapon, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm. He then poured the first surge of Divine Power that he had refined into the Ancient God Seal.


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness seemed to enter the inner region of the ancient God weapon and arrive in a black metallic world. Countless bits of information regarding this divine weapon then entered Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Several dozen forms with the characteristics of close combat, long-distance combat, defense, and support!"


    Zhao Feng''s heart shook. He didn''t expect to obtain an all-round divine weapon.


    Ding! Ding!


    The triangular piece of metal in Zhao Feng''s hand split in the middle and extended into a long black sword.


    "Sword form!"


    Zhao Feng gripped the black metallic sword, but he felt that it was extremely heavy and was unable to control it.


    Shua~~


    Zhao Feng slashed out, and a wave of darkness radiated a powerful and fierce Divine Power as it shot out. The wave of darkness slashed through an entire patch of forest and landed on a small mountain before exploding.


    "Such power¡­!" Zhao Feng could not help but sigh and exclaim. One had to know that the dimension of the Ancient Dream Realm was different from the continent zone. All powers here would be heavily suppressed by this dimension, but Zhao Feng''s attack swept past an entire forest and exploded on a small mountain several miles away.


    Wu~~


    Deafening roars started to sound one after another from the small mountain range. Earth started to shake as giant gray crystal rock giants jumped out from mountains and the earth and released deafening roars.


    Wu~~


    Several blasts of powerful air shot toward Zhao Feng.


    "I''ll take care of you all next time!" Zhao Feng looked at the Earth Crystal Race and left the Ancient Dream Realm right away.


    Although he had many resources and could duplicate them endlessly, it was hard to increase the overall battle-power of the Hall of Gods dramatically within a short amount of time like that. Therefore, Zhao Feng needed to plunder resources form the Ancient Dream Realm, and the Earth Crystal Race was, without a doubt, the best target.


    Ding! Ding!


    The Ancient God Seal in Zhao Feng''s hand turned back into a triangular piece of metal.


    "There seems to be a seal in the depths of this divine weapon!" Zhao Feng realized, but he put this aside for now. It wouldn''t be too late to explore this divine weapon more after his strength reached a certain level.


    Zhao Feng continued his seclusion even after testing out and understanding the Ancient God Seal. Since Divine Power that was refined through the Divine Forming Technique couldn''t recover automatically, Zhao Feng needed to store as much Divine Power as he could beforehand. Zhao Feng also needed to practice how to properly use Divine Power. Divine power was an extremely strong hidden card for him


    "With this divine weapon, even normal Demigods won''t be my match!" Zhao Feng was extremely excited. The journey through the God corpse had increased his strength dramatically, but because he killed Sacred King Samsara, both lord dynasties had now set their sights on him, so it was best not to reveal that he had a divine weapon.


    Zhao Feng was currently inside the dimension of his God Eye, comprehending and crafting God Tribulation Lightning symbols. He didn''t need to worry about not having enough God Tribulation Lightning power anymore after receiving the Lightning God Crystal, so he could absorb as much as he wished.


    The power of God Tribulation Lightning was also one of his biggest hidden cards. Furthermore, comprehending the power of God Tribulation Lightning was extremely useful for when he needed to pass the God Tribulation in the future.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes after several dozen days.


    "I''ve managed to analyze the clone secret technique!"


    Zhao Feng was looking forward to it. He started to craft the body of his clone, and he would split his soul after the body of the clone was created.


    Shua! Shua!


    A Blood Crystal Yao Spirit that hadn''t fully grown yet appeared before Zhao Feng, and it was covered in blood-red liquid.


    "I first need to wipe out the faint consciousness of this Blood Crystal Yao Spirit!"


    Zhao Feng started to act with the method that he analyzed.


    Six days later, a completely crystalline red body that radiated a powerful bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races appeared within the Misty Spatial World. The core of this body was the Blood God Crystal that he had obtained within the God corpse.


    "Not bad. It''s state of existence is far stronger than normal Sacred Lords!"


    Zhao Feng was extremely satisfied with this body. The cost of creating this clone was countless times more expensive than creating his first clone, but it was all worth it.


    Zhao Feng also felt that the appearances of himself and his clones shouldn''t be completely the same, so Zhao Feng changed the appearance of this body into a muscular male.


    "The clone is created. Now, I just need to split my soul!"


    Zhao Feng had a solemn expression. Although splitting his soul would weaken his Soul Intent, once the second clone was formed, Zhao Feng would have a helper whose battle-power was much stronger than normal Sacred Lords. Furthermore, the body of the second clone was unique; as long as he kept on replenishing it with bloodline-essence resources, it would be able to become stronger very quickly.


    After confirming what he was doing, Zhao Feng started to circulate the Soul Splitting Technique to split his soul. With the experience of last time, he managed to split his soul in twenty days.


    The Soul Intent of the split-off soul was at the level of a Sacred Lord, but it was nothing in comparison to Zhao Feng''s Sacred King Soul Intent.


    "My Soul Intent hasn''t become too much weaker!" Zhao Feng said after close inspection. This time, splitting his soul didn''t weaken Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent by too much. With the help of the vine fruits that he obtained in the God corpse, he would be able to quickly recover.


    Whoosh!


    A dark purple soul entered the body that Zhao Feng created.


    "Become an early-stage Sacred Lord as soon as possible!" Zhao Feng organized his resources and gave some to his second clone.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, so the success rate of merging with the Eyes of Myriad Forms would be higher when the second clone reached the level of an early-stage Sacred Lord as well.


    Zhao Feng started to heal his Soul Intent after giving the order.


    Shua!


    Three transparent red leaves appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. Zhao Feng had obtained these leaves from the giant vine within the God corpse. They contained a very strong Intent and an aura of bloodline Divine Power.


    "Although these leaves aren''t as effective as the fruits, they suit me better right now!"


    Zhao Feng put one of the leaves into the dimension of his left eye and started to duplicate it while he absorbed and comprehended the other two leaves.


    Hu~


    A condensed Intent of Earth and Wood entered Zhao Feng''s mind. At the same time, a clear and cool bloodline sensation washed over him, taking away all his fatigue.


    Two months later, Zhao Feng expended more than a dozen red leaves and managed to recover his Soul Intent back to its peak state. At the same time, understanding the power of these crystal red leaves increased his level of comprehension.


    At this time, Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, Kun Yun, and some people from the Tie Family came to the Hall of Gods.


    "Zhao Feng, you won''t try to lie to me, right?" Kun Yun rushed toward Zhao Feng, but he suppressed his anger after thinking about Zhao Feng''s performance in the God corpse. On the way, he also heard that Zhao Feng had killed Sacred King Samsara, which Kun Yun even more scared of Zhao Feng.


    "There was an important matter, so I had to rush back!" Zhao Feng handed over an interspatial ring that he had prepared a while ago to Kun Yun.


    Kun Yun''s expression changed slightly. Zhao Feng''s important matter was most likely killing Sacred King Samsara and obtaining that secret technique.


    Kun Yun''s consciousness then entered the interspatial dimension, and his expression turned to joy as he prepared to leave.


    "Kun Yun, do you want even better resources?" Zhao Feng messaged Kun Yun directly. The current situation wasn''t looking very good for the Hall of Gods, mainly because they lacked peak battle-powers, and Kun Yun was a good option.


    "Who have I ever been scared of? As long as you can pay me, I''ll do anything!" Kun Yun''s expression became even more joyful as he started to boast about his strength.


    Zhao Feng gave a helpless smile. Back when Zhao Feng first negotiated with Kun Yun, Kun Yun declined Zhao Feng right away when he heard that the enemy was Nine Darkness Palace. However, Kun Yun was now very strong and probably had the strength of a normal Demigod.


    Nan Gongsheng''s expression was grim, and he stared at Zhao Feng with unwillingness. He had given up his personality for the power of the Evil God but was still unable to chase after Zhao Feng''s footsteps.


    "Brother Feng, did you encounter any problems?" Zhao Yufei went forward. She felt that there was some other reason Zhao Feng killed Sacred King Samsara.


    Zhao Feng hesitated for a while. He didn''t know where to start when talking about Liu Qinyin.


    Amongst the group from the Tie Family, Tie Hongling''s heart shook slightly when she looked at Zhao Yufei. No wonder Zhao Feng remained unmoved by her; he already had such an elegant and stunning goddess next to him.


    Right at this moment, an Elder of the Tie Family took a step forward.


    "I am Tie Kun from the Tie Family, and we have come with five very talented disciples of the Tie Family as promised. I hope that Brother Zhao will help the Tie Family raise them!"


    The five geniuses of the Tie Family then went forward and bowed to Zhao Feng. Of the five, Zhao Feng already knew Tie Lingyun and Tie Hongling. The cultivations of the other three disciples were relatively low, but their bloodline potential wasn''t any weaker.


    Tie Lingyun had complicated emotions when looking at Zhao Feng. After his first fight with Zhao Feng, he made the decision that he would fight Zhao Feng again until a victor was decided, but in just a few years, Zhao Feng had reached a level that he could only look up to. Apparently, even Sacred King Samsara was killed by Zhao Feng.


    The other three younger members of the Tie Family knew why they had come to the Hall of Gods. They were excited and nervous.


    "Of course!" Zhao Feng nodded his head. Now that both lord dynasties had their eyes on the Hall of Gods, it was definitely worth building a connection with the Tie Family.


    Zhao Feng had the members of the Hall of Gods accommodate Kun Yun, Zhao Yufei, and the group from the Tie Family. Zhao Feng still needed to think carefully about how to help awaken the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline of the Tie Family, so he didn''t take any action just yet.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm. The Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, the Earth Shattering Raging Bulls, the Five Poison Distinct Bees, and the Sky Fire Lightning Ape all sensed Zhao Feng''s arrival and hurried to his side.


    While plundering resources from these ancient races, he didn''t forget about raising them. At this point in time, the strength of Zhao Feng''s pets had all increased dramatically.


    "Attack the Earth Crystal Race!" Zhao Feng ordered as he led a large group and charged into the forest.

 1123 The Second Clone

    Chapter 1123 - The Second Clone


    Several Earth Crystal Giants had already appeared in the forests and mountains ahead, as if Zhao Feng''s actions had offended them. The Earth Crystal Race paid a lot of attention to the forest; when they sensed something, they would immediately gather and head out together.


    "Twelve Earth Crystal Giants!" Zhao Feng knew the information of his opponents. The average strength of the Earth Crystal Race members was at the Sacred King level. One of them was even a peak Sacred King.


    Zhao Feng wasn''t scared of any Earth Crystal Giants, but since it was a group fight, Zhao Feng couldn''t block all the Earth Crystal Giants by himself.


    "All of you are courting death!" An extra muscular and bulky Earth Crystal Giant amongst the Earth Crystal Race roared.


    "Destroy them!" Zhao Feng ordered. The Five Poison Distinct Bees, Sky Fire Lightning Ape, Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, and Earth Shattering Raging Bulls charged out.


    "Your opponent is me!" Zhao Feng charged toward the strongest member of the Earth Crystal Race. Normal Sacred Kings couldn''t excite his battle-intent anymore.


    "How dare a lowly human offend the Earth Crystal Race!?" The Earth Crystal Giant looked down at Zhao Feng''s cultivation and bloodline in disdain.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng activated his Sacred Lightning Body and used his Sacred Power of Wind Lightning as he thrust out a scarlet-golden palm of lightning.


    Boom! Peng!


    Countless bolts of scarlet-golden lightning flashed as the Sacred Lightning Palm landed on the Earth Crystal Giant''s large body.


    "Arghh¡­! Human!" The Earth Crystal Giant was stunned. The strength of this human in front of him was far stronger than he expected.


    Wu~~


    The Earth Crystal Giant roared in the direction of Zhao Feng, sending out a blast of condensed air. At the same time, the Earth Crystal Giant waved his arm, and condensed dark yellow axe slashed toward Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng used his advantage in speed to dodge the attacks of the Earth Crystal Giant.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch! Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!"


    Zhao Feng continuously switched between these two techniques of the Sacred Lightning Body and kept on attacking the Earth Crystal Giant in front of him.


    The Earth Crystal Giant was much slower than Zhao Feng, so it activated its bloodline right away in anger.


    Weng~~


    Its body grew several yards taller, and its power and defense both increased dramatically, forming a terrifying domain of gravity.


    Boom!


    After activating its bloodline, the Earth Crystal Giant waved its giant axe and summoned the laws of Earth as it slashed toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng felt a powerful gravity restrict him before the giant axe even arrived.


    The Earth Crystal Race had natural talent in terms of gravity. Their gravity domains were even stronger than Zhao Feng''s.


    Shua!


    A triangular piece of metal appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    Ding! Ding!


    Divine Power merged into it, and the triangular piece of metal in Zhao Feng''s hand turned into a metallic black shield. Zhao Feng instantly felt the pressure of Heaven and Earth disappear when he held the shield-shaped Ancient God Seal.


    Weng~ Boom!


    The Earth Crystal Giant''s attack landed on Zhao Feng''s shield, and a noise sounded.


    Bam! Crack!


    The giant dark yellow axe in the Earth Crystal Giant''s hand immediately shattered into a pile of dust.


    "How is this possible? You have a divine weapon!?" The Earth Crystal Giant''s expression changed dramatically. Only divine weapons had such power.


    Ding! Ding!


    After blocking the attack from the Earth Crystal Giant, the black shield in Zhao Feng''s hand turned into a black spear.


    Shu!


    Zhao Feng swept out, and a powerful gust of black wind swirled, covering the Earth Crystal Giant within it. Countless gashes appeared around the Earth Crystal Giant''s body.


    "I''ll use you as a test!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly. He didn''t need to worry about news of him having a divine weapon spreading in the Ancient Dream Realm, so he could test out the power of the divine weapon without worry.


    Zhao Feng didn''t even use his full power. The defense of the Earth Crystal Race was very strong, so it wouldn''t be killed by Zhao Feng''s divine weapon in one move.


    Ding! Ding!


    The Ancient God Seal in Zhao Feng''s hand turned into a large blade.


    Boom! Peng!


    A black light that could slash through Heaven and Earth headed toward the Earth Crystal Giant.


    "Shameless human!" The strongest Earth Crystal Giant of the Earth Crystal Race could only defend against Zhao Feng''s divine weapon, but even the Earth Crystal Race that specialized in defense wasn''t able to block the power of a divine weapon.


    At last, Zhao Feng managed to leave a Dark Heart Seal in the soul of the Earth Crystal Giant when it was very weak. Zhao Feng then looked at his surroundings. Although he had the advantage in numbers, the bloodline of the Earth Crystal Race was stronger, and they had higher cultivations. The two sides were on par, but with Zhao Feng and the enslaved Earth Crystal Giant joining in, the tide instantly changed.


    Zhao Feng successfully conquered the territory of the Earth Crystal Race without much effort. The attack resulted in heavy losses, but Zhao Feng did this on purpose. The strongest survived while the weaker ones with less potential died, which saved him unnecessary resources.


    Zhao Feng then started to scavenge the resources of the Earth Crystal Race after conquering their territory.


    "Master, here is all my wealth!" All the Earth Crystal Giants handed over their wealth to Zhao Feng.


    The ancient Earth Crystal Race could create Primal Crystal Stones or substandard God crystals. They would usually store these cultivation resources and trade them with other races. There were also plentiful mines in the area where the Earth Crystal Race lived.


    "Master, we have a crystal mine in our territory," the strongest expert of the Earth Crystal Race said to Zhao Feng.


    "Crystal mine?" Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly. Crystal mines either produced Primal Crystal Stones or God Crystals. Since the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the continent zone was very faint, it was hard for crystal mines to form. Even if one did form, it would be a very low-grade one.


    Zhao Feng used his Earth Escape and burrowed underground alongside the Earth Crystal Giants.


    "Substandard God Crystal mine!"


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled. Substandard God Crystal mines obviously formed substandard God Crystals, and if the mine was of a high enough grade, it could even create God Crystals.


    One had to know that Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords weren''t even willing to use substandard God Crystals to cultivate, but now Zhao Feng had obtained an entire mine. The benefits of attacking the Earth Crystal Race had surpassed Zhao Feng''s imagination. With these resources, he could quickly increase his strength and the strength of the Hall of Gods.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng left the Ancient Dream Realm with a large amount of resources.


    "These resources will be used to reward the Sacred Lords of the Hall of Gods that have contributed a lot!"


    Zhao Feng organized a pile of resources and handed them to Bi Qingyue to take care of.


    Many Mystic Light Realm experts had appeared in the Hall of Gods, but they were still too weak. In addition, the founding Sacred Lords like Bi Qingyue, Supreme Emperor Dark Night, the black-armored Sacred Lord, and company also needed a large amount of resources to become stronger.


    "Master, Liu Qinyin has reached the coast and seems to be planning to leave the continent zone!" Bi Qingyue reported Liu Qinyin''s whereabouts to Zhao Feng.


    "Leaving the continent zone? Does she want to go back to the Azure Flower Continent?" Zhao Feng guessed in his heart. This was a good thing though; with Liu Qinyin''s current cultivation, she wouldn''t meet much danger if she left the continent zone.


    Zhao Feng then allocated a specific set of resources in order to prepare for the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline awakening plan.


    Eventually, Zhao Feng arrived at Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit''s house.


    "Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit, I''ll be troubling you¡­." Zhao Feng handed over the chosen resources to Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit.


    "Zhao Feng, I''m also considered a member of the Hall of Gods, right?" Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit revealed a half-hearted expression. Zhao Feng had recently been rewarding the Hall of Gods members, and even Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit wanted some of these resources. At this moment, Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit very much regretted coming to the Hall of Gods for such a small amount of resources.


    "This is an extra reward for Senior helping the Hall of Gods!" Zhao Feng gave Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit some precious ancient resources.


    The originally dissatisfied Sacred Doctor Jade Spirit was instantly filled with smiles and started to refine pills right away. Zhao Feng then gave these pills to the members of the Tie Family several days later and paid attention to the situation of their bloodlines.


    "Master, according to the information from the intel agents around the continent zone, the forces of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty have been very active recently. Their actions are very secretive, especially Nine Darkness Palace¡­." One day, Bi Qingyue reported some intel and her own guesses to Zhao Feng.


    "Okay!" Zhao Feng said before entering seclusion.


    Within the Misty Spatial World:


    "State of existence has reached the level of an early-stage Sacred Lord, and its cultivation is almost there too!"


    Zhao Feng glanced at the second clone.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several dozen substandard God Crystals and many precious resources appeared before Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng then started to multitask and cultivated the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, the Divine Forming Technique, and more. Zhao Feng was very wealthy after conquering the Earth Crystal Race.


    A current was secretly flowing in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, and an invisible pressure was descending on Zhao Feng. He needed to use every minute and every second to increase his own power and the strength of his force.


    Dark yellow lightning symbols jumped across Zhao Feng''s body a month later and suddenly released a strong surge of light.


    "My Sacred Lightning Body has reached the final stages of the 6th level!"


    Zhao Feng used his resources and broke through a small bottleneck of the 6th level. After breaking through to the final stages of the Sacred Lightning Body''s 6th level, even normal Sacred Kings wouldn''t be able to do much damage to Zhao Feng.


    "Very good, you have also become an early-stage Sacred Lord. I''ll merge the Eyes of Myriad Forms into you right now!"


    Zhao Feng and his second clone both revealed an excited smile.


    Although Zhao Feng also had the Eye of Samsara, he currently needed strong battle-power. The Eye of Samsara he possessed contained the Samsara of Life, which wasn''t as useful as the Eye of Myriad Forms for combat.


    Sacred Lord Myriad Forms was a non-human and wouldn''t be able to move freely around the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, so Zhao Feng killed him without hesitation and took the Eyes of Myriad Forms.


    "Your strength will increase dramatically after merging with the Eyes of Myriad Forms!" Zhao Feng said.


    The battle-power of his second clone would be on par with a late-stage Sacred Lord after merging with the Eyes of Myriad Forms. Furthermore, the Eyes of Myriad Forms would increase the defense of his soul and his cultivation speed.


    With the experience of last time, Zhao Feng merged the Eyes of Myriad Forms into his second clone''s soul within one day.


    "My second clone, Zhao Wan!" Zhao Feng named the clone.


    After successfully helping Zhao Wan merge with the Eyes of Myriad Forms, Zhao Feng chose some unique eye-bloodline techniques and other skills for Zhao Wan to cultivate. Only powerful eye-bloodline techniques would be able to release the complete power of his eye-bloodline.


    One day, Bi Qingyue sent Zhao Feng another message.


    "Master, Nine Darkness Palace has been getting very close to many other forces of the lord dynasty, including the Eight Big Families. The Grand Imperial Hall also seems to have taken action¡­." Bi Qingyue spoke in a solemn tone.

 1124 Heading for Nine Darkness Palace

    Chapter 1124 - Heading for Nine Darkness Palace


    "Master, Nine Darkness Palace has been getting very close to many other forces of the lord dynasty, including the Eight Big Families. The Grand Imperial Hall also seems to have taken action¡­." Bi Qingyue spoke in a solemn tone.


    From Bi Qingyue''s point of view, the current situation was extremely urgent. If the Hall of Gods didn''t do anything, they would be unable to face the upcoming dangers.


    "Okay!" Zhao Feng said before continuing his seclusion.


    "The cultivation speed of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique has increased recently!" Zhao Feng said with joy.


    The cultivation technique that Zhao Wan trained in was also the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, so the experience and understanding gained from Zhao Wan would also naturally enter Zhao Feng''s consciousness. Zhao Wan''s current cultivation was relatively low, so the effect wasn''t very strong for Zhao Feng, but Zhao Wan could also obtain experience for the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique from Zhao Feng. Adding on the fact that there were boundless resources, and his cultivation speed was extremely fast.


    When their cultivations reached the same level in the future, the experience and comprehension gained by both sides would help each other equally. This meant that their cultivation speed would be about two times faster.


    Although the first clone, Zhao Wang, cultivated the Dao of Ghosts and was unable to increase Zhao Feng''s cultivation speed, the comprehension that Zhao Wang gained from the Dao of Ghosts could still increase Zhao Feng''s knowledge.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng finally felt how powerful the Soul Splitting Technique was.


    Zhao Feng then started to multitask.


    Cultivating the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique would also increase Zhao Wan''s cultivation speed.


    Zhao Feng also thought about how to use the remaining power of the God blood that was sealed within his right index finger. This drop of God blood had been sealed in Zhao Feng''s index finger for a while now, and part of its power was used up by Zhao Feng while another part had been feeding Zhao Feng''s state of existence. Zhao Feng also found that a small amount of the God blood''s power had merged with the flesh of his right index finger.


    "I wonder what will happen if I''m able to completely merge the power of this drop of God blood into my finger!" Zhao Feng was very excited. Now that he had plenty of cultivation resources, it would be extremely good for him if he could turn this drop of God blood into a powerful offensive method.


    Now that he had a plan, Zhao Feng started to take action. Zhao Feng first released a small part of the Ice Imperial Spear''s seal to release a wisp of the God blood''s power. At the same time, Zhao Feng controlled the flesh of his finger to absorb the power of the God blood.


    Although this process took some time, he managed to succeed in the end.


    Zhao Feng then repeated this two more times.


    "This is the limit that my current state of existence can withstand!" Zhao Feng finally stopped. If he forcefully absorbed any more power of the God blood, the bloodline Divine Power would seep out.


    At this point, his finger was completely different from the other parts of his body.


    Whoosh!


    A piece of normal Heaven-grade armor appeared before Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng circulated the power of his finger and stabbed forward.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng''s finger pierced directly through the defense of this armor, and countless spiderweb-looking cracks started to extend through it.


    Boom! Peng!


    The armor shattered into countless pieces.


    "It''s this strong!?" Zhao Feng''s expression turned to surprise. The power of his finger after merging with the God blood exceeded Zhao Feng''s imaginations. At the moment, Zhao Feng''s finger had only merged with one tenth of the God blood''s power.


    As Zhao Feng''s state of existence increased in the future and became more compatible with the God blood, he would be able to merge more of it into his index finger. Zhao Feng was looking forward to the power he would have when he completely merged the God blood into his finger.


    "The power should become even greater if I cultivate a finger technique!"


    Zhao Feng then picked out a suitable finger technique from looking at his memories and the battle techniques of the Hall of Gods.


    "Wind Lightning Raging Finger."


    Zhao Feng finally picked this finger technique.


    The Wind Lightning Raging Finger contained wide-range finger attacks as well as focused finger attacks. It fitted Zhao Feng''s requirements perfectly.


    With Zhao Feng''s understanding of Wind Lightning, he spent only several dozen days to completely familiarize himself with the Wind Lightning Raging Finger, and he cultivated it to the 5th level.


    Zhao Feng restrained the true power of his index finger inside the Misty Spatial World as he practiced the Wind Lightning Raging Finger. Countless different-sized finger phantoms of Wind Lightning filled the air around Zhao Feng.


    At a certain moment, the power of Wind Lightning around Zhao Feng released a dark golden light.


    "The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique has reached the late stages of the 9th level!"


    Zhao Feng was overjoyed as he looked at Zhao Wan in the distance. Time was tight, so Zhao Feng was focusing on practicing his battle technique and not much else, while Zhao Wan was completely focusing on the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. In a month''s time, Zhao Feng only circulated his Sacred Power of Wind Lightning a little, but he broke through a small bottleneck. This was all due to Zhao Wan.


    "It''s time to take action now!"


    On this day, Zhao Feng silently exited seclusion.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Four human figures gathered together on a certain mountain behind the Hall of Gods at night.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s go!" Nan Gongsheng was already getting impatient, and killing intent covered his face.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re confident that you can do it?" Kun Yun was slightly hesitant after learning their task.


    "Are you scared?" Zhao Feng asked with a slight mocking tone.


    "Who have I ever been scared of!?" Kun Yun puffed out his chest.


    Shua!


    The group disappeared amongst a flash of silver.


    ¡­


    In the depths of the continent zone, within the Nine Darkness Mountain Range, many experts of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty gathered within a secret hall. Each of these experts had at least a three-star force behind them, and there were many ancient three-star superpowers.


    "The Hall of Gods has been expanding very fast recently, and they have many new Mystic Light Realm experts!"


    "If it wasn''t for the fact that their Grand Elder Zhao Feng was only a late-stage Sacred Lord, they would almost be a peak three-star power given their current magnitude!"


    "However, the most important thing is that Zhao Feng might have that secret technique that can gather the power of the Eight Great God Eyes!"


    The upper echelons of these forces spoke their thoughts. They were all very interested in a piece of fat meat like the Hall of Gods.


    "According to the intel of Nine Darkness Palace, the amount of wealth the Hall of Gods has is at least comparable to an ancient three-star superpower!" a Sacred King from Nine Darkness Palace said.


    The Earth Demon Cult was also a three-star superpower, but it wasn''t considered ancient. From this, one could see how wealthy the Hall of Gods was.


    "This old man agrees with Sacred King Wicked Sky!" an Elder from the Black Evil Cult nearby said.


    A figure shrouded in darkness floated at the very front of the secret hall.


    "This is our opportunity to rise again!" Demigod Dark Ocean spoke in a solemn tone.


    "The Black Evil Cult will help Nine Darkness Palace to the best of their ability!"


    "The Jiang Family will also participate!"


    "The Earth Demon Cult will stand on the same side as Nine Darkness Palace!"


    The forces present all displayed their views. Would any of them possibly be scared that several dozen three-star powers led by Nine Darkness Palace wouldn''t be able to deal with the Hall of Gods?


    "Nine Darkness Palace won''t treat you badly after this!" Demigod Dark Ocean laughed.


    The feud between Nine Darkness Palace and the Hall of Gods was irresolvable, and Demigod Dark Ocean wasn''t completely confident in himself given Zhao Feng''s current strength. This was why he paid a big price to gather many forces to help.


    "Just wait a while. Those from the Grand Imperial Hall will arrive shortly!" Demigod Dark Ocean continued, and the forces present became silent.


    Nine Darkness Palace''s actions were about to start a war between two top forces in the lord dynasty. Several hundred forces, whether they were big or small, might be affected. Under normal circumstances, the Grand Imperial Hall would stop this situation from happening, but the Grand Imperial Hall very much wanted the secret technique in Zhao Feng''s hands. Therefore, the Grand Imperial Hall allowed this happen, but their requirement was that, if Zhao Feng did have the secret technique, Nine Darkness Palace would hand it to them after the Hall of Gods was destroyed.


    Right at this moment, a tremor shook the outer edges of Nine Darkness Palace as a terrifying pressure of Heaven and Earth crushed over.


    Since the secret hall blocked out everything, the experts present could only sense a faint disturbance.


    "The Grand Imperial Hall is here?" a Sacred Lord asked in surprise, but the expressions of the Nine Darkness Palace members kept on changing.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    An Elder from Nine Darkness Palace opened the barrier covering the secret hall.


    Peng! Bam! Boom!


    A terrifying Intent and the sound of explosions instantly entered the secret hall.


    "Demigod Dark Ocean, come out and die!" a deafening enraged roar immediately sounded.


    "How is this possible? The Hall of Gods is already here?" A certain force''s Elder was shocked.


    "Impossible, the scouts of Nine Darkness Palace are keeping an eye on the Hall of Gods. If they charged over, we would know instantly!" Sacred King Wicked Sky had a grim expression.


    Hu~


    Demigod Dark Ocean and all the members of Nine Darkness Palace charged out.


    Boom! Peng! Bam!


    At this point, the majority of Nine Darkness Palace had been destroyed, and countless disciples of the Demonic Dao were buried in ruins.


    "Very good, you have come to find death on your own. Now I don''t have to leave!" Demigod Dark Ocean''s eyes burned with anger as he looked at the four people in front of him.


    Demigod Dark Ocean didn''t expect the Hall of Gods to attack them first, and with only four people.


    At this moment, the Elders of the other forces charged out from the secret hall.


    "Help Nine Darkness Palace handle these arrogant bastards!" Sacred King Wicked Sky roared.


    "A measly four people dare to come here!?" a Sacred Lord from a Demonic Dao force couldn''t help but mock.


    "Everyone, attack! The Hall of Gods will be completely finished if we kill these four!"


    The forces present were surprised but overjoyed at the same time. From their point of view, it was impossible for the Hall of Gods to stop their combined power. The upper echelon of the Hall of Gods had charged out to their deaths on their own, which is exactly what they wanted.


    "How is this possible? Zhao Feng¡­" Sacred King Earth Ghost had an extremely grim expression. According to what he knew, Zhao Feng had already used his last God Slaying Arrow, so what was Zhao Feng relying on that allowed him to charge into the headquarters of Nine Darkness Palace?


    "Could he really have obtained that secret technique from Sacred King Samsara?" Sacred King Earth Ghost murmured in his heart, but soon ruled out this possibility. If Zhao Feng really had three or more God Eye descendants and the secret technique, he could topple the Grand Imperial Hall and rule over the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All of the experts in the secret hall charged out.


    "I didn''t think there would be so many forces teaming up with Nine Darkness Palace. I can get rid of them as well at the same time!" Zhao Feng floated in midair and looked down as he spoke in a playful tone.

 1125 Fighting against a Demigod

    Chapter 1125 - Fighting Against a Demigod


    "I didn''t think there would be so many forces teaming up with Nine Darkness Palace. I can get rid of them as well at the same time!" Zhao Feng floated in midair and looked down as he spoke in a playful tone.


    Hearing this, everybody''s expressions froze, but then they started to roar with laughter after scanning around with their Divine Sense and finding no weird disturbances.


    "Hahahaha, you really don''t know what life is and what death is, do you!?"


    "Did you even do any research before you came here? Now that we have teamed up with Nine Darkness Palace, you''re just coming here to die!"


    The Sacred Lords and Sacred Kings present laughed and mocked. They took Zhao Feng''s words as a joke.


    However, Demigod Dark Ocean had a solemn gaze as he scanned over Zhao Feng and company. He couldn''t estimate Zhao Feng''s strength, but Kun Yun at least had the strength of a normal Demigod. Nan Gongsheng''s and Zhao Yufei''s strength was about the same level as an high-tier Sacred King.


    "Take them down!" Demigod Dark Ocean ordered with a cold expression. Zhao Feng''s calm expression made him feel extremely uneasy, but now that they were here, Nine Darkness Palace couldn''t just do nothing. Nine Darkness Palace had to take them down, and they couldn''t allow failure.


    "Hmph, Demigod Dark Ocean, you''re already at the end of your life. There''s no point struggling!" Zhao Feng smiled as a pair of scarlet wings of lightning spread behind his back. Lightning and wind flashed as he immediately charged toward Demigod Dark Ocean.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Kun Yun, Zhao Yufei, and Nan Gongsheng all received Zhao Feng''s order and took action.


    "Zhao Feng, since you want to die, I''ll let you die!" Demigod Dark Ocean was originally going to stop Kun Yun, but Zhao Feng charged at him instead. This was what Demigod Dark Ocean wanted as well; as long as Demigod Dark Ocean managed to kill Zhao Feng, everything would be over.


    "Attack Kun Yun!" Seeing their Grand Elder clash with Zhao Feng, the other Elders of Nine Darkness Palace could only go fight Kun Yun.


    Nine Darkness Palace was one of the strongest three-star forces in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Apart from Demigod Dark Ocean, they had two Sacred King experts and four late-stage Sacred Lords.


    "All of you are my prey!" Nan Gongsheng left behind silver-purple afterimages as he charged toward a group of Elders from Nine Darkness Palace. Some of these Sacred Lords had pursued him before and tried to kill him. Nan Gongsheng''s main targets were these Sacred Lords.


    "Nan Gongsheng, you will die today!" Sacred Lord Wicked Truth''s expression turned to surprise as he roared in anger. Sacred Lord Wicked Truth was one of the Sacred Lords of Nine Darkness Palace that had chased Nan Gongsheng all the way to the True Martial Sacred Lord.


    "Black Wicked Cult, go support Nine Darkness Palace!" the Grand Elder of the Black Wicked Cult immediately roared.


    "Charge!" Sacred King Earth Ghost had a low tone as he charged out with several members of the Earth Demon Cult.


    The upper echelon of the other three-star forces, including the Jiang Family and the Dong Family, also joined the fight.


    "Golden Kun Sacred Body!" Kun Yun circulated the Golden Kun Sacred Body, and talismans of lightning flashed around him as a terrifying pressure descended onto Heaven and Earth. The nearby Sacred Lords of Nine Darkness Palace and the experts of different forces nearby were instantly suppressed by this physical force of lightning.


    "Purple Jade Sacred Technique!" Zhao Yufei used a technique, and golden lights flashed across her body as she summoned Heaven Earth Yuan QI.


    Hu~~ Weng! Weng!


    The nearby Heaven Earth Yuan Qi gathered toward Zhao Yufei and turned into a purple mist that surrounded her. Zhao Yufei then controlled this mist and clashed with some of the experts.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng activated his Sacred Lightning Body and Blood Devil Sun bloodline as he fought with full power, unleashing a blazing scarlet-golden palm of Wind Lightning.


    "Nine Darkness Demonic Light!" Demigod Dark Ocean harrumphed coldly as he circulated a pitch-black Sacred Power and thrust out with his palm. An enormous black beam of light with a terrifying demonic force passed through the air and landed against Zhao Feng''s palm.


    Boom!


    After the clash, the pitch--black light shot out and continued toward Zhao Feng.


    "As expected of a Demigod. Without using any hidden cards, I''m not his match at all!" Zhao Feng''s expression became solemn. He originally wanted to test his strength after his improvements, but the instant they exchanged blows, Zhao Feng understood that there was still a difference between himself and a Demigod.


    Demigod Dark Ocean was a bit stronger than Demigod Ferocity.


    "Earth Lightning Sacred Armor!" Zhao Feng immediately circulated the Earth of Wind Lightning and used a defensive secret technique to block the remaining power of Demigod Dark Ocean''s attack.


    "This brat¡­" Demigod Dark Ocean''s expression was grim as his eyes locked onto Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but he was able to fight against a Demigod. If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng''s performance in the God corpse was already too shocking, Demigod Dark Ocean would be completely stunned.


    However, he was simply filled with wariness now. It was impossible for Zhao Feng and company to not have thought things through before daring to charge into the headquarters of Nine Darkness Palace. They definitely had something that they could rely on.


    On the other hand, Nine Darkness Palace had gathered many experts from various three-star powers. Even if Zhao Feng and company had some hidden cards, it was useless.


    "Demonic Mark!" Demigod Dark Ocean hated Zhao Feng to the bone and immediately took out a substandard God weapon without caring about the cultivation difference between him and this junior. A black skeletal arm appeared in Demigod Dark Ocean''s hand, and a heart-moving Demonic Dao aura surrounded the five fingers of the skeletal arm.


    "Substandard God weapon!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused. He didn''t expect Demigod Dark Ocean to place so much importance on him that he would take out a substandard God weapon so quickly.


    Zhao Feng didn''t dare to overestimate himself against a Demigod that had taken out a substandard God weapon.


    "Illusion Soul Charge!" Zhao Feng''s left eye glowed with purple and gold as a powerful Soul Intent landed against Demigod Dark Ocean''s soul. The wings on Zhao Feng''s back released a brilliant glow of light the instant Demigod Dark Ocean was dazed, and he appeared directly behind Demigod Dark Ocean.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng unleashed the projection of his Little World of Wind Lightning and the Physical Force Lightning Domain. He merged their power together into his palm and thrust out.


    "What a strong eye-bloodline technique!" Demigod Dark Ocean was secretly stunned. He didn''t think that a junior''s eye-bloodline technique would be able to affect him. At this moment, he found that Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had reached the level of a Sacred King.


    "Nine Darkness Demonic Claw!" Demigod Dark Ocean gripped the skeletal arm and released the power of the Demonic Dao as he slashed out.


    Shu~~~


    Five pitch-black claws ripped through space and landed on Zhao Feng''s palm of light.


    Boom! Peng!


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Palm was immediately shattered, but Zhao Feng had already expected this long ago. He already started to move when Demigod Dark Ocean unleashed this attack and started to circulate his left eye.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" A purple-and-gold lightning-fire exploded in Demigod Dark Ocean''s face and radiated the Destructive aura of God Tribulation Lightning.


    "Arghhhhh¡­!" Demigod Dark Ocean screamed out as lightning-fire burned across his soul and body.


    Demigod Dark Ocean''s expression contorted, and he was enraged. The difference in power between Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique this time and last time was extremely big, causing Demigod Dark Ocean to underestimate Zhao Feng. He was tricked.


    "Sky Penetrating Finger!" Zhao Feng''s right index finger radiated a powerful ancient bloodline aura. At the same time, a surge of Sacred Power of Wind Lightning merged into it.


    Whoosh!


    A scarlet-golden light with the terrifying power of Wind Lightning shot toward Demigod Dark Ocean''s chest.


    "Not good!" Demigod Dark Ocean was still amidst the burning flames of God Tribulation Lightning when he felt a critical sense of danger.


    Whoosh!


    Demigod Dark Ocean circulated his Demonic Dao Sacred Power and a wisp of Divine Power to form a blazing black barrier in front of himself.


    Shu!


    Zhao Feng''s finger clashed against the blazing black barrier and penetrated through it.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s finger continued forward and landed on Demigod Dark Ocean''s chest.


    "The penetration ability is strong, but the damage caused is limited!" Zhao Feng concluded after using one of the techniques from the Wind Lightning Raging Finger for the first time.


    "Grand Elder!" The Elders of Nine Darkness Palace fighting against Nan Gongsheng and Kun Yun were stunned as they looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    Their Grand Elder, Demigod Dark Ocean, had been injured by Zhao Feng! One had to know that, of the two people fighting, one was a Demigod while the other was just a late-stage Sacred Lord, but the result was something none of them would have ever expected!


    "His strength is already enough to fight against Demigods!" Sacred King Earth Ghost was in shock and was thinking about whether he had made the correct decision or not. Although Zhao Feng had already slain a Demigod before in the God corpse, he had to use the God Slaying Arrow, which was completely different from the current situation.


    "How is this possible? Demigod Dark Ocean still hasn''t managed to finish off that brat?" The experts of the other forces finally saw what was happening to Demigod Dark Ocean and were stunned. They couldn''t believe what they were seeing.


    The originally thought that Demigod Dark Ocean would be able to easily kill Zhao Feng and end the battle quickly, but in just a short while, Demigod Dark Ocean was the one injured by Zhao Feng instead.


    At this moment, they finally understood that Nine Darkness Palace asked others for help because they weren''t confident that they could deal with the Hall of Gods by themselves! However, they knew this too late. The only thing they could now do was kill the four in front of them.


    "Zhao Feng¡­!" Kun Yun and Nan Gongsheng both froze in the air for a moment. Neither of them expected Zhao Feng to have such strength. No wonder he dared to lead them and charge toward Nine Darkness Palace.


    Zhao Feng looked around and inspected the situation after injuring Demigod Dark Ocean. Even though Kun Yun, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei were very strong, it was hard for them to fight against so many experts at once.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng waved his hand, and a human figure appeared.


    "More helpers?" A member of Nine Darkness Palace nearby was surprised, but some of the other experts completely ignored Zhao Wan after seeing that he was only at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    "Myriad Forms World of Wind Lightning!" Zhao Wan''s left eye changed the elements of nature. Endless elements of Wind and Lightning filled Heaven and Earth.


    "This is the ability of the Eyes of Myriad Forms!" The Grand Elder of the Black Wicked Cult shook as he looked at Zhao Wan''s eyes.


    "How is this possible? Who is this person? I''ve never seen him before!" The Elders of Nine Darkness Palace and the other forces were stunned.


    However, right at this moment, another surge of majestic Demonic Dao power appeared from the other side.


    "Zhao Feng, I will cut your body into ten thousand pieces and burn your soul!" Demigod Dark Ocean felt humiliated and enraged, and he roared toward the sky as limitless Demonic Dao Sacred Power appeared from his body. This power contained small amounts of Divine Power as well.


    Wu~~ Hu!


    Heaven and Earth started to dim as if the world had become a hell of darkness!


    Hu~ Boom!


    Endless demonic power gathered around Demigod Dark Ocean. The Elders of Nine Darkness Palace and the other forces all shook. They felt an endless pressure on their bodies, and they quickly avoided Demigod Dark Ocean.


    When a Demigod expert used all their power, it was enough to destroy Heaven and Earth. Normal Sacred Lords didn''t even dare to approach them.


    Demigod Dark Ocean unleashed the projection of his Little World and circulated the Nine Darkness Secret Technique as he waved the substandard God weapon in his hand.


    Weng~~


    Five black vine-like flames slashed toward Zhao Feng with lightning-quick speed.


    "Let me see if you even have the ability to do it!" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as he faced the enraged Demigod Dark Ocean with no fear.

 1126 Nine Darkness Palace’s Plan

    Chapter 1126 - Nine Darkness Palace''s Plan


    Five black vine-like flames slashed toward Zhao Feng with lightning-quick speed.


    Demigod Dark Ocean used this attack with the buff of his Little World and the help of his substandard God weapon. No one weaker than a Demigod could survive.


    "Demigod Dark Ocean is completely enraged!"


    "Zhao Feng will die against such a powerful move even if he has a defensive substandard God item!"


    "At the end of the day, a Sacred Lord is still a Sacred Lord. It''s impossible for them to fight back against a Demigod!"


    The other experts relaxed after seeing Demigod Dark Ocean release such a terrifying attack. From the looks of it, Demigod Dark Ocean had only been injured by Zhao Feng because he underestimated the opponent. How could a late-stage Sacred Lord truly stop a Demigod when they used their full strength!?


    "Hmph, you still have time to look elsewhere?" Zhao Wan snickered coldly. He obviously knew Zhao Feng''s strength, so he wasn''t worried.


    "Wind Lightning Explosion!" Zhao Wan controlled the power of Wind Lightning in Heaven and Earth and condensed it into his hand, then released a tornado of Wind Lightning toward the enemies.


    "What terrifying power!"


    "Don''t underestimate this early-stage Sacred Lord!"


    The experts only realized that the owner of the Eyes of Myriad Forms wasn''t a simple opponent when Zhao Wan took action.


    Although Kun Yun, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei were worried for Zhao Feng, they started to relax after seeing that Zhao Wan didn''t show any signs of being impatient.


    Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as he faced Demigod Dark Ocean''s powerful attack and circulated the power of the God blood in his index finger. This time, he completely released the bloodline power in his finger.


    Hu~~


    A terrifying ancient bloodline Divine Power radiated from Zhao Feng''s finger. At the same time, Zhao Feng''s Little World of Wind Lightning and the Physical Force Lightning Domain merged into his move.


    "Earth Destroying Finger!"


    Zhao Feng''s finger released an extremely powerful surge of Wind Lightning that shot forward with absolute power.


    Boom! Weng~ Weng~


    A storm of limitless scarlet-golden lightning shot out like a pole of heaven.


    Boom! Peng!


    The color of Heaven and Earth changed. It was as if the entire world was about to be destroyed as a storm of destruction swept out.


    "This aura¡­ it''s the aura of an ancient bloodline and Divine Power!" Demigod Dark Ocean''s expression changed dramatically as he felt the power of the explosion.


    Whoosh!


    Right at this moment, a scarlet-golden light flashed in the center of the explosion.


    Shu~~


    In just an instant, the scarlet-golden light pierced through Demigod Dark Ocean''s chest. Another small hole appeared in Demigod Dark Ocean''s chest, and black blood started to ooze out.


    "It''s that move again!" Demigod Dark Ocean''s expression was ugly. While Nine Darkness Palace had the advantage right now and would definitely be able to obtain victory in the end, there was one uncontrollable aspect present, and that was Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng had another hidden card, then the tide could be turned.


    "Sacred King Wicked Sky, attract one of them away and kill them!" Demigod Dark Ocean''s expression remained the same as he messaged Sacred King Wicked Sky.


    "Understood, Grand Elder!" Sacred King Wicked Sky''s expression turned to surprise. He knew what the Grand Elder was truly thinking and became nervous.


    "Hmph, so Nine Darkness Palace only has such little skill!" a voice of mockery sounded in Sacred King Wicked Sky''s soul, but Sacred King Wicked Sky didn''t dare to retort.


    Slowly but steadily, a group of upper echelon of Nine Darkness Palace started to move away.


    "Where do you think you''re running to!?" Purple light flashed around Zhao Yufei. She was like a goddess of ice and crystal as she chased after them with a strong surge of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    "Looks like the Duanmu Family has felt too relaxed recently. Was the lesson that Nine Darkness Palace gave them not enough!?" Sacred King Wicked Sky mocked coldly as he secretly interacted with the other members of Nine Darkness Palace to set up their plan.


    "Nine Darkness Palace will be removed from the continent today!" Zhao Yufei''s expression was cold as she released several purple-and-gold beams of light.


    Zhao Feng had already told them the final aim of this mission: to finish off Nine Darkness Palace. Zhao Yufei decided to participate because she wouldn''t be scared of dragging the Duanmu Family down with her if Nine Darkness Palace was completely destroyed.


    The five battles around the Nine Darkness Mountain Range shook Heaven and Earth. Kun Yun, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Wan were all busy trying to handle the enemies in front of them and didn''t realize that Zhao Yufei was getting further away from them.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame! Sky Penetrating Finger!" Zhao Feng was very serious and used his various Soul eye-bloodline techniques and offensive skills. He was able to suppress Demigod Dark Ocean at this moment.


    "Dammit, this brat''s eye-bloodline techniques are too strong!" Demigod Dark Ocean had an ugly expression as he cursed in his heart. Zhao Feng kept on using eye-bloodline technique to disrupt him and then using the Sky Penetrating Finger. The Sky Penetrating Finger was very fast, and he would be hit if he wasn''t careful.


    At this moment, there were about ten small holes in Demigod Dark Ocean''s body. On top of that, even Demigod Dark Ocean wasn''t able to recover from the damage caused by the Sky Penetrating Finger within a short amount of time.


    Zhao Feng had also activated the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline and would occasionally close in on Demigod Dark Ocean to suck away his energy and essence.


    "Something''s wrong. Demigod Dark Ocean doesn''t seem to have any intention of defeating me, and he''s switched from attacking to defending!" Zhao Feng felt that something was amiss. Even though the battle-power he was currently displaying was very strong, the opponent was a Demigod. Why would the latter drag out a fight with him?


    "Not good¡­ Yufei!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned to shock. At this moment, Zhao Yufei and several members of Nine Darkness Palace had left Nine Darkness Palace''s territory.


    Even though Zhao Feng realized that something was wrong, he couldn''t rush over immediately. Once he went to save Zhao Yufei, Demigod Dark Ocean would definitely defeat Nan Gongsheng, Kun Yun, and Zhao Wan. At that point, Zhao Feng would definitely lose.


    "Hehehe, it''s too late now!" Demigod Dark Ocean laughed coldly. From his point of view, Zhao Yufei was already dead, and Zhao Feng and company wouldn''t be able to escape.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll just kill you first!" Zhao Feng''s momentum changed dramatically as he released a piercing killing intent.


    Zhao Yufei''s Spiritual Race bloodline allowed her to have strong offense and defense. Even if the upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace had special techniques, Zhao Yufei should be able to last a while, so Zhao Feng needed to kill Demigod Dark Ocean before then.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Countless white lightning bolts flashed in Zhao Feng''s left eye as a Destructive Soul Intent started to flow.


    Boom! Whoosh!


    A ball of blazing God Tribulation Lightning symbols that contained a terrifying Soul aura landed on Demigod Dark Ocean''s soul.


    "Arghh¡­!" Demigod Dark Ocean screamed. He felt as if his soul was about to be ripped apart.


    Whoosh! Weng~~~


    The wings behind Zhao Feng''s back flashed as he quickly approached Demigod Dark Ocean.


    "Earth Destroying Finger!"


    At such a close range, Zhao Feng circulated the bloodline Divine Power within his index finger without hesitation.


    Boom! Peng!


    Limitless Wind Lightning shot out from his finger and engulfed Demigod Dark Ocean. Demigod Dark Ocean, who was still in pain from the Tribulation Lighting Eye Flame, was bombarded by Fire of Wind Lightning and a supreme bloodline Divine Power.


    "God Eye Disintegration!" Zhao Feng then used his ultimate eye-bloodline technique. Zhao Feng''s left eye flashed with a unique purple-and-gold light as layers of transparent golden light spread through the air. This light instantly passed through Demigod Dark Ocean thousands of times as it analyzed the structure of his body.


    Hu~


    Everything in Zhao Feng''s sight started disappearing. When Demigod Dark Ocean regained his consciousness, he realized that his body, soul, Sacred Power, and even his Divine Power were slowly fading away. His strength was also decreasing. The area around him had become completely empty. Everything was fading away!


    Demigod Dark Ocean''s expression changed, and he prepared to take action to stop Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique, but a silver-gray light suddenly flashed behind him.


    Ding! Bam!


    The little thieving cat slammed a spade against Demigod Dark Ocean''s head. At the same time, the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly flew out of the little thieving cat''s mouth and quickly released some silk and some Dream Pollen.


    Demigod Dark Ocean felt his head become dizzy, and he momentarily lost control of his body. Zhao Feng continued to use the God Eye Disintegration at full force to weaken Demigod Dark Ocean.


    "Not good!" Demigod Dark Ocean felt a danger that he had never felt before and finally realized that something was amiss. He had overestimated himself; it was very likely that Zhao Feng might kill him.


    In the battle before, Zhao Feng had continuously injured him and sucked away part of his energy and essence. With the use of the God Eye Disintegration, Demigod Dark Ocean''s overall strength dropped by another 20%.


    "Go die!" Seeing that Demigod Dark Ocean had completely awakened now, Zhao Feng stopped the God Eye Disintegration.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" A ball of purple-and-gold fire landed in Demigod Dark Ocean''s face. At this moment, his resistance to Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline techniques was even weaker now that his soul had been weakened.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng didn''t give Demigod Dark Ocean any chance to breath as he used the last of his God Tribulation Lightning.


    Voom!


    A ball of twisting and burning God Tribulation Lightning symbols exploded against Demigod Dark Ocean''s soul.


    "Arghh¡­!" Demigod Dark Ocean''s soul was bombarded by such a terrifying technique once more.


    Demigod Dark Ocean had been continuously damaged by Zhao Feng ever since the last Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame and hadn''t been able to fight back at all.


    "Zhao Feng, the person you love will soon die!" Demigod Dark Ocean''s face was pale-white, and his aura was extremely weak, but he revealed a cold smile as he looked into the distance.


    At this moment, Demigod Dark Ocean wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match, and it would be difficult for him to even escape from Zhao Feng, so Demigod Dark Ocean tried to use other topics to distract Zhao Feng.


    "Nine Darkness Palace dares to work together with the non-humans!?"


    Zhao Feng''s gaze saw through ten thousand miles and landed on Sacred King Wicked Sky, who was fighting against Zhao Yufei.


    Sacred King Wicked Sky''s body glittered with a demonic light and radiated a terrifying divine pressure. No one else knew how Sacred King Wicked Sky''s battle-power suddenly became so much stronger. Only Zhao Feng''s left eye was able to see through Sacred King Wicked Sky''s body and notice a non-human figure within his Little World.


    "Hehehe, die!" Sacred King Wicked Sky grabbed forward, and a wisp of Divine Power and black demonic light turned into a black spear.


    At the critical moment, Zhao Yufei had to use her bloodline. Her skin started to flash as she looked like a goddess made out of jade and ice.


    Ding! Bam!


    The black spear stabbed through Zhao Yufei''s body, and sparks flew in the air.


    Weng~~


    The gap in Zhao Yufei''s flawless crystal body started to recover.


    Boom!


    The color on Zhao Yufei''s face drained as she pressed a hand on her chest and spat out a mouthful of purple-and-gold blood. Even though the bloodline of the Spiritual Race was very strong, it couldn''t stop the attack from a Demigod!


    "Hahaha, the owner of ancient Spiritual Race Bloodline will be killed by me!" Sacred King Wicked Sky was surprised before revealing a crazy and excited expression.


    Hu~


    He waved his hand, and the power of the Demonic Dao gathered once more into several more blazing black spears.

 1127 No more Nine Darkness Palace

    Chapter 1127 - No More Nine Darkness Palace


    "Demigod Dark Ocean, I didn''t think that you would collaborate with non-humans!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically. He didn''t expect that a non-human Demigod would appear here.


    "Hehehe, anything can be done for the final victory!"


    Seeing that Zhao Feng''s gaze was attracted by the other fight, Demigod Dark Ocean laughed coldly and quickly retreated.


    "You want to run?" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as he locked onto Demigod Dark Ocean and released an icy killing intent across the air.


    Hu!


    A dark purple mist suddenly spread across Zhao Feng''s back and swept out in every direction, covering Demigod Dark Ocean.


    "What!?" Demigod Dark Ocean paused for a moment. At this time, Zhao Feng managed to stay calm enough to attack him without worrying about Zhao Yufei?


    However, Demigod Dark Ocean became completely dazed after looking toward Sacred King Wicked Sky. A golden Eye of Heaven appeared above Sacred King Wicked Sky, and it seemed ingrained within Heaven and Earth as it gazed down coldly with profound golden light.


    Sacred King Wicked Sky was about to attack when he felt a pressure bear down on him, and his soul started to tremble. Sacred King Wicked Sky swept his Divine Sense around, then turned toward the Eye of Heaven looking down at him.


    "What''s going on? This is¡­!" Sacred King Wicked Sky''s body shook as his soul was completely suppressed.


    The non-human Demigod within Sacred King Wicked Sky''s body had only loaned his power to Sacred King Wicked Sky. The main ruler of this body was still Sacred King Wicked Sky.


    Sacred King Wicked Sky''s soul was completely suppressed by Zhao Feng''s Eye of Heaven, and he was unable to even think about fighting back.


    "Yufei, go!" Zhao Feng tried to win some time for Zhao Yufei, but she just stood completely still as if she had no reaction at all.


    "Hmph, useless idiot!" The non-human Demigod within Sacred King Wicked Sky''s Little World snickered coldly as he released a powerful surge of Soul Intent.


    Boom!


    A Demigod-level Soul Intent instantly spread. The non-human Demigod suppressed Sacred King Wicked Sky''s soul, who momentarily lost control of his body.


    Hu~


    The black spears in the air were instantly controlled by the non-human Demigod.


    "Owner of the Spiritual Race bloodline, die!" An evil and wicked voice sounded from within Sacred King Wicked Sky''s body.


    However, right at this instant, the Eye of Heaven gazing down at Sacred King Wicked Sky released a strong surge of Eye Intent that shook the earth. An endless purple-and-gold whirlpool that was connected to an endless purple maze of illusions instantly extended from the Eye of Heaven.


    A forbidden power covered Sacred King Wicked Sky''s soul and started absorbing it. This forbidden power seemed to be the power of a God; no one could stop it.


    The non-human Demigod who was about to take action was completely stopped by this forbidden power and became unable to move.


    "How is this possible? This brat''s eye technique¡­" The non-human Demigod''s expression turned to shock as his heart started to tremble. The Eye of Heaven in the sky was restricting his soul and Sacred King Wicked Sky''s soul at the same time. How could a measly late-stage Sacred Lord be able to restrict the souls of two people at their level simultaneously!?


    However, what he didn''t know was that, when Zhao Feng used his eye-bloodline techniques through the Eye of Heaven, they were even stronger. Furthermore, Zhao Feng was currently utilizing the power of his Little World of Illusions, so his Soul eye-bloodline techniques were buffed by his Little World as well.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng wasn''t using his Gaze of the God Eye to suck away both of their souls; he was only restraining their souls, so the power was more focused.


    The experts of Nine Darkness Palace and the various other forces currently in the Nine Darkness Mountain Range were completely stunned as they looked at this scene in shock. They obviously understood that Sacred King Wicked Sky was hiding a Demigod expert in his body, but what they couldn''t comprehend was that Zhao Feng was stalling two Demigods by himself.


    Demigod Dark Ocean was currently very weak, and his soul was being confused by Zhao Feng''s Little World of Illusions. Adding on the little thieving cat and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly disrupting him as well, and Demigod Dark Ocean couldn''t break through the power of the Little World of Illusions.


    Meanwhile, ten thousand miles away, the unknown Demigod expert within Sacred King Wicked Sky''s body was restrained by one of Zhao Feng''s incredulous eye-bloodline techniques.


    At this moment, the experts present were unable to calm the waves raging through their hearts as they stared at Zhao Feng.


    "Dammit, why did it turn out like this?" The non-human Demigod within Sacred King Wicked Sky''s body struggled, but he was unable to break out of the restricting force.


    However, right at this moment, another unexpected thing happened; Zhao Yufei suddenly released a strong surge of Divine Power.


    Weng~ Weng~


    The faint outline of a diamond-shaped crystal could be faintly seen on Zhao Yufei''s forehead. Zhao Yufei had obtained this diamond-shaped crystal in the head of the God corpse. She didn''t know how to use its power before, but in the critical stages of life and death just now, this diamond-shaped crystal connected to her bloodline.


    Hua!


    A dazzling purple-and-gold light radiated from Zhao Yufei''s body. All the Yuan Qi within several dozen thousand miles gathered toward Zhao Yufei as if it was bowing to a God.


    This scene stunned everyone once more.


    "Could her Spiritual Race bloodline have awakened even more?" The non-human Demigod''s heart shook as he felt the strong bloodline aura coming from Zhao Yufei''s body.


    Zhao Yufei suddenly opened her eyes, and a terrifying Divine Power crushed toward Sacred King Wicked Sky in front of her.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Yufei waved her hand, and an invisible surge of power shot toward Sacred King Wicked Sky.


    Crack! Weng~~


    The Mystic Light Sacred Power within Sacred King Wicked Sky''s body immediately stopped circulating and started to freeze. Sacred King Wicked Sky''s body then started to become frozen in Yuan Qi.


    "Yufei''s bloodline power has awakened even further¡­." Zhao Feng felt this stunning surge of ancient bloodline power and was overjoyed. He had inspected Zhao Yufei and found out what was happening to her, so he used his full power to restrict the enemies to stop them from affecting Zhao Yufei.


    Boom! Peng!


    As a layer of crystalline Yuan Qi covered Sacred King Wicked Sky, a figure suddenly jumped out from his body.


    Whoosh!


    The dark gray figure turned into a dark streak of light and instantly flashed forward by several thousand miles, disappearing into the sky.


    "That was a non-human Demigod!" the members of the various three-star powers around Nine Darkness Palace said in shock.


    "Nine Darkness Palace dared to collaborate with the non-humans!?" Sacred King Earth Ghost''s expression was extremely grim. It would have been fine if that non-human Demigod hadn''t been exposed, but because of Zhao Feng, he was. This meant that it was basically over for Nine Darkness Palace.


    "Hmph, Demigod Dark Ocean, Nine Darkness Palace shall be removed from the Great Gan Lord Dynasty today!" Zhao Feng looked at Demigod Dark Ocean, who was still in the purple-and-gold maze, and snickered coldly after Yufei''s dangerous situation was resolved.


    Demigod Dark Ocean''s heart shook. When Zhao Feng used the Eye of Heaven, Demigod Dark Ocean felt that something bad was going to happen. Now that the non-human Demigod had been exposed, Nine Darkness Palace would be unable to escape the consequences.


    If Nine Darkness Palace had managed to kill Zhao Feng, they could use Sacred King Wicked Sky as a scapegoat and give the secret technique in Zhao Feng''s hands to the Grand Imperial Hall in order to escape. However, Nine Darkness Palace had lost all momentum, and none of the other forces would dare to help Nine Darkness Palace after realizing that they had collaborated with the non-humans.


    It was completely over for Nine Darkness Palace!


    "Then let us die together, Zhao Feng!" Demigod Dark Ocean revealed a deadly look as he locked his eyes onto Zhao Feng with limitless hatred.


    A critical sense of danger started to radiate from Demigod Dark Ocean''s body.


    "Not good, I''m too close to him!" Zhao Feng felt that something was amiss. Due to the proximity to Demigod Dark Ocean, he probably wouldn''t be able to avoid the power of Demigod Dark Ocean''s self-destruction.


    Shua!


    A black triangular piece of metal appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. Green-and-gold lights suddenly started to flash around it.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    All the power within Demigod Dark Ocean''s body instantly exploded. A terrifying destructive power of Heaven and Earth swept out. All of Nine Darkness Palace was completely destroyed by the blast of power from Demigod Dark Ocean.


    Many upper echelon members of Nine Darkness Palace and the other three-star forces were unable to run away and were killed by this destructive force.


    "A Demigod of Nine Darkness Palace actually ended up like this!?"


    "You can only blame that he worked with the non-humans!"


    The other three-star forces immediately distanced themselves from Nine Darkness Palace.


    "Unfortunately, Zhao Feng was too close to Demigod Dark Ocean. It''s impossible for him to dodge a Demigod''s self-destruction¡­." The Elder of a three-star power sighed in a fake tone, but his expression froze the next instant and turned completely white as he looked toward the center of the explosion.


    As the dust started to fall, Zhao Feng was revealed in the center of the explosion. There were no injuries on him.


    "How is this possible? He''s still perfectly fine!?"


    "That was the self-destruction of a Demigod¡­!"


    Everyone, including Kun Yun and Nan Gongsheng, looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief. It was as if they were looking at a monster.


    Zhao Feng had a casual expression. If it wasn''t for the fact that he had a divine weapon, he would''ve been injured even if he tried to retreat at full speed.


    "From today onward, the Great Gan Lord Dynasty shall have a Nine Darkness Palace no more!" Zhao Feng floated in the air like a god as his voice resounded across Heaven and Earth. Those still alive were stunned and looked at Zhao Feng in a daze. They didn''t even dare to breathe loudly.


    "If those from Nine Darkness Palace don''t surrender, they shall be killed!" Zhao Feng then looked down and scanned over the people present with sharp eyes.


    Plop!


    Some of the surviving members of Nine Darkness Palace immediately knelt to the ground!


    Nan Gongsheng, Kun Yun, and Zhao Yufei looked at Zhao Feng and revealed a faint smile


    The other three-star powers stood completely still. It seemed like, if Zhao Feng didn''t speak, they wouldn''t dare to move.


    Right at this moment, several golden beams of light appeared in the sky far away. At the very front was Sacred King Feather Spirit. He focused and scanned his Divine Sense across the Nine Darkness Mountain Range.


    They were here to attend Demigod Dark Ocean''s secret gathering, but from the looks of it, the battle between the Hall of Gods and Nine Darkness Palace had already started. On top of that, there were only a few members of Nine Darkness Palace present, and Demigod Dark Ocean was nowhere to be found.


    Sacred King Feather Spirit''s brain shook. Could Nine Darkness Palace have been defeated by the Hall of Gods? How was this possible? Nine Darkness Palace was a peak three-star power of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, and they had an extremely deep foundation. Even if they somehow weren''t a match for the Hall of Gods, they shouldn''t have been defeated so quickly. Furthermore, there were many other three-star powers that had teamed up with Nine Darkness Palace present.


    Now that Nine Darkness Palace had been defeated, the deal between them and the Grand Imperial Hall was useless.


    "Zhao Feng, you dare to attack Nine Darkness Palace?" Sacred King Feather Spirit looked at Zhao Feng and questioned in a cold tone.

 1128 The situation of the Lord Dynasty

    Chapter 1128 - The Situation of the Lord Dynasty


    "Zhao Feng, you dare to attack Nine Darkness Palace?" Sacred King Feather Spirit looked at Zhao Feng and questioned in a cold tone.


    "And so what if I do?" Zhao Feng coldly replied with a calm expression.


    Sacred King Feather Spirit paused. Zhao Feng''s cold and disdainful attitude scared him a little bit. However, although Sacred King Feather Spirit knew that he wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match, the Grand Imperial Hall was behind him. With a background like this, he didn''t need to be scared of Zhao Feng.


    "Now that the two lord dynasties are continuously fighting and might start a war again at any moment, the Hall of Gods destroyed a peak three-star power of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. Do you have some hidden intentions?" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s expression was cold as he questioned.


    Now that Nine Darkness Palace had been destroyed, the Grand Imperial Hall had to put some blame on the Hall of Gods in order to obtain the secret technique in Zhao Feng''s hands. If Zhao Feng dared to fight back, the Grand Imperial Hall would be able to rightfully take action.


    "It seems Sacred King Feather Spirit doesn''t know what''s happening. The one with hidden intentions was Nine Darkness Palace!" A faint smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    "What do you mean?" Sacred King Feather Spirit revealed a puzzled look.


    "When we attacked Nine Darkness Palace, we found that there was a non-human Demigod hiding inside the Little World of a Nine Darkness Palace Elder. Everyone present can prove this!" Zhao Feng said with a faint smile.


    "Sacred King Feather Spirit, I can vouch for this!"


    "I didn''t think that Nine Darkness Palace would collaborate with the non-humans. Our eyes were blind to not see Nine Darkness Palace clearly!"


    Some of the forces immediately distanced themselves from Nine Darkness Palace and spoke righteously. A non-human Demigod infiltrating the Great Gan Lord Dynasty wasn''t a small matter. Besides, too many people had witnessed this; they had to admit it even if they didn''t want to.


    "This¡­" Sacred King Feather Spirit was dazed for a moment. He never would have imagined that Nine Darkness Palace would collaborate with the non-humans. This meant that Nine Darkness Palace should indeed have been destroyed. Instead of blaming the Hall of Gods for destroying such a force, the Grand Imperial Hall needed to reward them instead.


    "Why is Sacred King Feather Spirit here anyway?" Zhao Feng asked with a playful smile.


    "I was coincidentally passing through¡­." Sacred King Feather Spirit was instantly scared.


    "I need to report this to the Grand Imperial Hall as quickly as possible!" Sacred King Feather Spirit said before leading the other members of the Grand Imperial Hall and immediately leaving.


    "The Grand Imperial Hall needs to catch the Demigod that has infiltrated the Great Gan Lord Dynasty!" Zhao Feng''s voice entered Sacred King Feather Spirit''s ear before he left.


    "Zhao Feng¡­!" Sacred King Feather Spirit gritted his teeth. He had to return with nothing this time as well.


    The atmosphere tensed once more after the members of the Grand Imperial Hall left. The members of the various forces looked at Zhao Feng and tried to please him.


    "All of you collaborated with Nine Darkness Palace, but Nine Darkness Palace was working together with the non-humans! In order to wash away your own suspicions, the only path you have left is to become a subordinate force of the Hall of Gods!" Zhao Feng gazed down with a serious expression and spoke in a decisive tone. There was no room for disagreement.


    The three-star powers became silent. They didn''t think that Zhao Feng would be so forceful even after destroying Nine Darkness Palace. He was threatening almost twenty three-star powers at once, including super three-star forces such as the Jiang Family and the Dong Family of the Eight Major Families.


    There was nothing wrong with becoming a subordinate force of such a strong three-star power. The problem was that there was quite a big feud between the Hall of Gods and the Grand Imperial Hall.


    "If you don''t agree, then the Hall of Gods will just have to visit you one by one!" Zhao Feng''s cold voice sounded once more, and everyone''s heart jumped.


    Even Demigod Dark Ocean had to self-destruct after four people from the Hall of Gods came to visit Nine Darkness Palace. Small forces like theirs wouldn''t be able to withstand a visit from Zhao Feng and company.


    "The Mountain Ocean Clan is willing to be the Hall of God''s subordinate force!" At this moment, the Grand Elder of a normal three-star force spoke.


    "The Earth Fire Sect is willing to become the Hall of God''s subordinate force!" another voice sounded.


    The forces that first bowed to the Hall of Gods were normal three-star powers. After witnessing Zhao Feng''s strength and the outcome of Nine Darkness Palace, they didn''t dare to disagree.


    "The Earth Demon Cult is willing to work with the Hall of Gods!" Sacred King Earth Ghost''s voice sounded at this moment.


    The other big forces were stunned. They didn''t expect Sacred King Earth Ghost to bow to Zhao Feng so easily. However, the reason was very simple ¨C Sacred King Earth Ghost was terrified of Zhao Feng.


    In the God corpse, Sacred King Earth Ghost had teamed up with Sacred King Feather Spirit and company to chase after Zhao Feng, and he helped Nine Darkness Palace deal with Zhao Feng as well. At this time, Sacred King Earth Ghost''s heart was still suspended in midair, scared that Zhao Feng would trouble him.


    Seeing that Sacred King Earth Ghost bowed to Zhao Feng as well, the other forces all consented to Zhao Feng''s suggestion.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng flew toward Nan Gongsheng, Zhao Yufei, Kun Yun, and Zhao Wan, then waved the Misty Spatial World and disappeared.


    A little more than a dozen days later, the members of the Hall of Gods near Nine Darkness Palace took over the Nine Darkness Mountain Range and built a sub-division of the Hall of Gods there. The ruler of this sub-division was the Darkness Ghost Clan, who used to be one of the biggest subordinate forces of Nine Darkness Palace.


    The news of Nine Darkness Palace being destroyed also spread across the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. A total of five people had crushed Nine Darkness Palace and more than a dozen three-star forces. Demigod Dark Ocean of Nine Darkness Palace wasn''t a match for Zhao Feng and had to self-destruct but still wasn''t able to kill Zhao Feng.


    This shocked the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty and became another hot topic of discussion alongside the war and the God corpse. The strength of the Hall of Gods'' upper echelon shocked the world.


    After taking over Nine Darkness Palace and more than a dozen three-star powers, the Hall of Gods expanded rapidly. More and more forces of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, such as the Tie Family, the Ji Family, and Black Screen Corner offered to team up with the Hall of Gods.


    The Hall of Gods was now the number one power below four-star forces. It was an enormous power that could be compared to the Grand Imperial Hall and Sky Suspension Palace.


    Three months later, the Demigod that had infiltrated the Great Gan Lord Dynasty was killed by many experts led by the Grand Imperial Hall.


    In Gan Province, in the Grand Imperial Hall, the atmosphere was very tense within a large green-and-gold hall.


    "The momentum of the Hall of Gods is set. If Zhao Feng becomes a Demigod in the next several millennia, another four-star power will be born!" an old Sacred King sighed.


    In reality, the current magnitude of the Hall of Gods was already comparable to the Grand Imperial Hall and Sky Suspension Palace, they just didn''t have any Demigod experts.


    "Zhao Feng definitely has the secret technique that Sacred King Samsara had. The Hall of Gods will definitely fight against the Grand Imperial Hall in the future for control over the Great Gan Lord Dynasty!" Demigod Taichi''s expression was very grim as he spoke.


    After saying this, the hall became silent once more.


    The upper echelon of the Grand Imperial Hall had been severely injured in the fight against the True God, and the Demigods of the Grand Imperial Hall had to personally go out because of the non-human Demigod infiltrator. This caused them to waste time. No Demigod of the Grand Imperial Hall was at their peak right now.


    Apparently, in the fight between the Hall of Gods and Nine Darkness Palace, Zhao Feng had suppressed Demigod Dark Ocean and a non-human Demigod by himself. Even if Demigod Dark Ocean and the non-human Demigod hadn''t fully recovered from the God corpse battle, Zhao Feng''s display was incredulous.


    This meant that, even if the Grand Imperial Hall found an excuse to take the technique, they would need to send out at least three Demigod experts. This would weaken the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s power even more. If the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty used that chance to attack, the Great Gan Lord Dynasty would be in critical danger.


    "The Grand Imperial Hall needs some time to rest. When the time is ripe, I will personally head out!"


    At this moment, Demigod Dragon Emperor spoke. He was at the very front of the hall, and he was covered in golden dragons made of light. Demigod Dragon Emperor had originally been planning to attempt a breakthrough to the Heavenly Divine Realm after recovering from his injuries, but now he had to delay that plan.


    Demigod Dragon Emperor would take action personally! The upper echelon members'' expressions turned to shock, and they had nothing to say.


    ¡­


    Back in the Hall of Gods, Zhao Feng had gained a lot of comprehension after fighting against two Demigod experts head-on.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to multitask. The first two of his thoughts cultivated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Wind Lightning Raging Finger.


    If Zhao Feng hadn''t had the help of Divine Power in the fight against Demigod Dark Ocean, his attacks would have found it difficult to damage Demigod Dark Ocean so much. The power of the Wind Lightning Raging Finger when used with his index finger was also very stunning. This proved that Zhao Feng''s path was correct.


    The third of his thoughts analyzed the Soul Splitting Technique. Zhao Feng had successfully cultivated the second level of the Soul Splitting Technique, but he still had an Eye of Samsara on him, so he needed to create the third level as quickly as possible and create the third clone when the time was ripe.


    Zhao Feng then entered the dimension of his left eye and replayed the fight against Demigod Dark Ocean. There was a lot to learn from Demigod Dark Ocean.


    Zhao Yufei entered seclusion as well. The diamond-shaped crystal that Zhao Yufei had obtained in the God corpse was extremely mysterious and allowed her Spiritual Race bloodline to awaken a step further. She also seemed to have obtained other benefits that needed time to digest.


    Nan Gongsheng and Kun Yun both seemed to be preparing to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm. From the beginning of time, countless Mystic Light Realm experts had been stopped by this barrier and weren''t even able to touch the border of Godhood. Countless Demigods had made no progress for dozens of millennia and were unable to break through.


    Even though Kun Yun had experience of trying to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, he needed to make preparations and give it his all.


    A year later, a strong surge of ancient aura appeared in the Misty Spatial World that woke up Zhao Feng from seclusion. A rainbow-colored Mystic Light Sacred Power surrounded Zhao Wan and changed the power of nature within the Misty Spatial World.


    "His cultivation and Soul Intent have both reached the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm!" Zhao Feng revealed a stunned expression. He didn''t expect Zhao Wan to progress so quickly that he would catch up to himself already.


    "From the looks of it, I underestimated this body!" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    Zhao Wan''s body was created by the Blood God Crystal and many rare materials from within the God corpse. Zhao Feng had even merged some of the power from the God blood into it.


    Although Zhao Wan didn''t have the bloodline of the Giant God Race, his bloodline could be considered slightly related to it.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng''s thoughts turned toward Zhao Wang. Zhao Wang had taken control of the remaining forces of Nine Darkness Palace, and he had used the resources of Nine Darkness Palace and some unique secret realms to become a Sacred Lord.


    "Both clones have completely matured now!" Zhao Feng was overjoyed.


    Right at this moment, Bi Qingyue''s voice sounded through the Dark Heart Seal.


    "Master, there''s some intel on the traces of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon¡­."

 1129 Liu Qinyin’s Danger

    Chapter 1129 - Liu Qinyin''s Danger


    "Master, there''s some intel on the traces of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon¡­." Bi Qingyue sent a message through the Dark Heart Seal.


    Zhao Feng''s expression turned to shock. There was finally news of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon after such a long time. However, Zhao Feng didn''t insist on the intel being reliable for this matter or else the Grand Imperial Hall''s information agency would have already known this as well. It was impossible for the Grand Imperial Hall to leave the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon alone. If they found traces of it, they would try to kill it.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon seems to have passed through the coast," Bi Qingyue said.


    The Hall of Gods originated from the coastal region, so almost every inch of land around there was under the control of the Hall of Gods. The information agencies of Black Screen Corner and the Imperial Sky Net would find it hard to enter.


    "The coast!" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped as his eyes focused.


    "Master, we''re not very sure of this intel. After all, the cultivation of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is too high, and normal people can''t even sense its existence¡­." Bi Qingyue continued. There were strict requirements on the truthfulness of intel. Bi Qingyue didn''t dare to report anything that was fake to Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng had told her many times about this issue, so Bi Qingyue told this unconfirmed intel to Zhao Feng.


    "Near the coast, could it be¡­!?" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had teamed up with Bai Lin for one reason ¨C Zhao Feng. However, since Zhao Feng''s name in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty recently had been too bright and he always stayed in the Hall of Gods, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would definitely not dare to come trouble Zhao Feng. However, with Bai Lin''s help, they would definitely try to find a breakthrough point where he could be killed. It wasn''t hard for the Eye of Destiny to find Liu Qinyin. Therefore, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would definitely want to capture Liu Qinyin and use her to threaten Zhao Feng.


    "If Liu Qinyin returned to her hometown, doesn''t that mean that the Azure Flower Continent is facing disaster¡­?" Zhao Feng''s heart shook, and he was unable to calm down.


    According to Zhao Feng''s guesses, it was very likely that Liu Qinyin had returned to the Azure Flower Continent. This meant that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would also head there with Bai Lin''s guidance.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon! Bai Lin!" Deadliness flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes. Zhao Feng had never mentioned his birthplace after leaving the Azure Flower Continent because the Azure Flower Continent was too low-leveled. Any random Emperor from the Cang Ocean or the continent zone could completely destroy it.


    "Bi Qingyue, when was this reported!?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    "Ten days ago!" Bi Qingyue replied.


    "I might still be able to stop the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon!" Zhao Feng started to think. If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had only passed the edge of the coast half a month ago, it wouldn''t be hard for Zhao Feng to catch up. The only issue was that he didn''t know which route the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would take to head back to the Cang Ocean.


    "It will be okay as long as I reach the Azure Flower Continent before the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon!" Zhao Feng suddenly stood up as a fierce light shot out from his eyes.


    "It''s time to go back to the Azure Flower Continent!" Zhao Feng murmured. If he reached the Heavenly Divine Realm in the future and entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he might not be able to return to the Azure Flower Continent ever again.


    Zhao Feng then gave some orders to Bi Qingyue.


    "I''ll leave the five disciples of the Tie Family to you as well!" Zhao Feng had prepared some pills and gave them to Bi Qingyue.


    "I wonder if Yufei wants to return to the Azure Flower Continent."


    After all, that was also Zhao Yufei''s hometown.


    Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense scanned over where Zhao Yufei was in seclusion, but she seemed to be at a critical stage and had no response to what was happening in the outside world. Since that was the case, Zhao Feng decided to go alone.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved his left arm and disappeared amongst a flash of silver light. The next instant, Zhao Feng had already left Yu Province where the Hall of Gods was located.


    However, even with the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng could only reach the Ocean Smoke Pavilion at most. Eventually, Zhao Feng spread his scarlet wings of lightning and flew across the limitless ocean.


    Zhao Feng soon reached the Nanlin Sea. With Zhao Feng''s current speed, he was able to travel ten thousand miles in a flash in the limitless ocean.


    Of course, Zhao Feng mainly relied on the Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces spread out across the limitless ocean and used their teleportation arrays. With Zhao Feng''s current cultivation, just a wisp of his aura would scare the Palace Lords of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces witless, and they would personally greet Zhao Feng and help him use their teleportation array.


    Zhao Feng also left behind a bunch of spatial markings with the Misty Spatial World on the way so he could return more quickly.


    Several dozen days later, Zhao Feng appeared at one of the Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces on the edge of the Floating Dream Spiritual Zone.


    "Hmm?" Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye suddenly sensed something.


    "Master, you''re here?" Old Monster Xu''s joyful voice sounded. Zhao Feng sensed that Old Monster Xu was close to the Floating Dream Spiritual Zone.


    "Liu Qinyin didn''t return to the Azure Flower Continent?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "She arrived here half a year ago, entered the inheritance of Sky Qin Sacred Palace, and never came back out!" Old Monster Xu told everything to Zhao Feng.


    "What!?" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Liu Qinxin died on the 49th floor of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace in her past life. Liu Qinyin had entered the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace as well?


    Zhao Feng finally understood what Liu Qinyin meant by the end of her dreams. It was the end of her memories ¨C in the memories of her past life, she had died in the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    Zhao Feng was truly worried about whether or not Liu Qinyin could successfully pass the 49th floor. Zhao Feng had entered the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace himself, so he knew how difficult it was.


    "Dammit!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically as he suddenly remembered something. If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s final target was the Azure Flower Continent, then Zhao Feng would definitely be able to arrive before the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, but that might not be the case if the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s target was Sky Qin Sacred Palace!


    "Old Monster Xu, conceal your aura, and at the critical moment¡­" Zhao Feng immediately messaged Old Monster Xu.


    Whoosh! Weng~~


    Thinking up to there, the Wings of Wind and Lightning behind Zhao Feng released a dazzling beam of light.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s figure merged into the air and disappeared.


    ¡­


    In the Sky Qin Zone, a male covered in black dragon scales floated in the air.


    "The person I want to find is here?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed a deadly smile on its cold face.


    "There seems to be a unique power blocking the place where the person is located!" Bai Lin''s voice sounded from within the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body.


    "What!? You''re saying that you can''t locate the position of that person!?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was enraged.


    "Hmm? The aura of the ancient era¡­?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly sensed something and scanned over with its Divine Sense. Its Divine Sense passed through Sky Qin Sacred Palace and swept toward a deep abyss. The image of an ancient mysterious palace then surfaced in its mind.


    The palace was extremely magnificent and had a total of forty-nine floors. It was surrounded in a dreamy rainbow-colored light and radiated a thick ancient aura. Even the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was unable to see through the structure of this building.


    "That should be the place!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon sent the image of this building to Bai Lin. The only place that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t understand in the Sky Qin Zone was the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    "That might be the place!" Bai Lin said in a low tone.


    Sky Qin Sacred Palace was calm, and the peaceful sound of qins could be heard. However, a terrifying Intent suddenly descended. Every living being within ten thousand miles of Sky Qin Sacred Palace felt their bodies turn cold, and they knelt to the ground as this majestic force that seemed to rule over Heaven and Earth covered them. Even the Palace Master of Sky Qin Sacred Palace, a Void God Realm Emperor, knelt to the ground and was unable to move.


    "Master!" Li Xueyi next to the Palace Master shook.


    Whoosh!


    The next instant, a figure appeared above Sky Qin Sacred Palace.


    "May I know why Senior has come to Sky Qin Sacred Palace?" the Sky Qin Palace Master croaked out. She could feel that this person only needed one thought to destroy the entire Sky Qin Sacred Palace. She couldn''t imagine what kind of powerful being this male was.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t bother with the Sky Qin Palace Master and arrived before the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace in a flash.


    "Could this person by related to the female from before?" The Sky Qin Palace Master revealed a bitter and helpless expression.


    Half a year ago, a peerless beauty had come to Sky Qin Sacred Palace, defeated everyone, and managed to enter the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace without the use of a token. This non-human male had definitely come to find her.


    "Hmm? I can''t open it?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression changed slightly as it stood before the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. The power of its Intent could destroy the entire Sky Qin Sacred Palace in an instant, but it was unable to open the doors to this palace?


    "Senior, the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace requires this token to open!" The Sky Qin Sacred Palace Master handed over an ancient silver token.


    Whoosh!


    The token instantly appeared before the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Weng~~


    The power of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Intent directly entered this token, and the ancient silver token released a brilliant beam of light.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The doors of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace opened, but the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression fell when it put his Divine Sense inside.


    "I need to pass through trials?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was full of anger.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    All of Heaven and Earth shook as all the experts within ten thousand miles felt an explosion ring in their heads, and they immediately spat out blood. With the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s current cultivation, it could obviously tell that this palace tested the Dao of Entertainment, but the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon knew nothing about it. It was obviously impossible for it to pass through any trials.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll just dig it away!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon moved its Intent.


    Weng~~ Boom! Boom!


    The entire Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace instantly started to be pulled out by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Don''t¡­!" The Sky Qin Palace Master was about to speak, but then she stopped. Even if she dared to, she couldn''t offend this senior for the sake of the clan.


    Right at this moment, another surge of Intent appeared at the edge of Sky Qin Sacred Palace.


    "Hmm? There''s a Sacred Lord here?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed a puzzled look as it swept over with its Divine Sense. How could there be a Sacred Lord in such a low-ranked place? There was definitely something fishy.


    At this moment, Old Monster Xu turned into a beam of white light and flew out.


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon took the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace and turned into a streak of black light that instantly caught up to Old Monster Xu.


    "What''s the point of a Sacred Lord hiding here!?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon roared as limitless Intent bound Old Monster Xu in midair.


    The upper echelon members of Sky Qin Sacred Palace revealed stunned expressions as they looked at the scene in the distance.


    "A Mystic Light Realm expert!"


    "They are peerless experts that only three-star forces have!"


    The Elders of Sky Qin Sacred Palace exclaimed. Why was there a Sacred Lord hiding so close to Sky Qin Sacred Palace?


    "But that Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord couldn''t even fight back against that non-human male!" The Sky Qin Palace Master trembled as she took in a cold breath. Li Xueyi looked at this scene with a trembling heart as well.


    Several dozen miles away from Sky Qin Sacred Palace:


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, you really don''t want to live, do you? How dare you even think of dealing with my master?" Old Monster Xu, who was completely restricted by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, suddenly started to laugh.


    "What? Your master¡­? Zhao Feng!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression turned to shock.


    At this moment, a golden Eye of Heaven appeared in the sky. It seemed to be ingrained into Heaven and Earth, and it flashed with profound golden light as it gazed down coldly.

 1130 Dragon Breath of Destruction

    Chapter 1130 - Dragon Breath of Destruction


    A golden Eye of Heaven appeared in the sky. It seemed to be ingrained into Heaven and Earth, and it flashed with profound golden light as it gazed down coldly.


    Even the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body shook slightly, and it felt a great pressure when it looked at this Eye of Heaven.


    "Oh my god! That''s¡­!?" All the experts in Sky Qin Sacred Palace seemed to petrify, and their voices started to tremble.


    More and more experts in the Sky Qin Zone saw the golden Eye of Heaven, and they were completely shocked and dazed.


    "What kind of existence is that eye¡­?" The Sky Qin Palace Master and Li Xueyi shook.


    Apart from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, everyone that saw this Eye of Heaven felt unable to breathe, and their souls started to shake.


    "Master, that non-human expert said Zhao Feng just now!" Li Xueyi''s heart moved. Back when Zhao Feng came to the Sky Qin Zone, he suppressed all the geniuses of the Sky Qin Province in the gathering and forcefully took her away. The memories were still fresh in Li Xueyi''s mind.


    "Impossible. That person is a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord; how can Zhao Feng be his master!?" the Sky Qin Sacred Palace Master immediately said.


    Although the Sky Qin Sacred Palace Master thought well of Zhao Feng''s strength and potential, it hadn''t even been a dozen years since Zhao Feng left Sky Qin Sacred Palace. How could Zhao Feng have become a Sacred Lord so quickly, let alone one so powerful that he had another Sacred Lord as a servant?


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression became grim, and it started to message Bai Lin.


    "Why didn''t you tell me that Zhao Feng arrived?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon asked.


    The legend of Zhao Feng in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty recently was too terrifying. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon only just recovered its cultivation as a Demigod and didn''t have much hope of killing Zhao Feng directly.


    "I told you that I can''t detect Zhao Feng directly. However, I didn''t sense any signs of danger, which means that you can successfully kill Zhao Feng!" Bai Lin said after thinking for a while.


    Under normal situations, if there was danger approaching, her Eye of Destiny would be able to sense it, but there was no such feeling this time.


    Weng!


    However, Bai Lin didn''t sense that the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace released a mystic power that passed through everything and merged into Heaven and Earth.


    "Are you sure it''s like that?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon paused. It was in half-doubt and half-belief. If what Bai Lin said was true, then the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon might be able to kill Zhao Feng this time.


    "Hmph. Zhao Feng, you finally left the Hall of Gods, so you will die!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon roared as it looked at the Eye of Heaven in the sky with a cold expression.


    It was originally planning to get rid of Zhao Feng after the battle of the God corpse, but Zhao Feng just stayed in the Hall of Gods alongside Kun Yun, Nan Gongsheng, and Zhao Yufei, so there was nothing the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could do.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, you''re courting death!" The golden Eye of Heaven in the sky released a wisp of mental energy and a cold killing intent.


    "Ridiculous! Back then, even Xie Yang couldn''t kill me. Many people from both lord dynasties want to kill me as well, but I''m still alive!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t help but snicker. Even if it wasn''t a match for Zhao Feng, it would at least be able to escape.


    "I shall kill your servant first!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression focused and looked fiercely at Old Monster Xu. It could tell that there was still some time before Zhao Feng actually arrived. He was just using an eye-bloodline technique to appear here with the help of some sort of mark left behind on Old Monster Xu.


    Weng~~ Hu!


    Heaven and Earth shook as Destructive black flames surged from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s hands.


    However, right at this moment, Eye Intent surged out from the Eye of Heaven in the sky and flashed with purple-and-gold flames.


    "I forgot that this eye can attack as well!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression was grim as he circulated his Soul Intent and Divine Power to defend.


    The next instant, a giant ball of purple-and-gold lightning-fire landed on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body.


    Boom! Peng!


    A terrifying Soul power exploded in the souls of all experts within ten thousand miles and caused their hearts to tremble.


    Whoosh!


    Old Monster Xu escaped the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s control and ran in a different direction.


    "Fuck this eye!"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a deadly expression as it quickly extinguished the lightning-fire on his body and soul. However, some of the damage caused by the power of God Tribulation Lightning couldn''t be completely cured.


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon turned into a burst of dark black fire and sped through the air after Old Monster Xu.


    Right at this moment, a terrifying surge of Wind Lightning appeared in the distance, and it caused the sky nearby to darken as it shattered mountains and rivers alike.


    Boom! Bam!


    The two figures clashed heavily before they both jumped back. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s left shoulder was slightly bent, but it soon recovered to its original shape in just a moment.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng also got rid of the black flames of Destruction on his body. After one year of seclusion, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body had improved even more; he had successfully cultivated an Immortal Sacred Lightning Body. As long as the injuries didn''t reach his foundation, he would be able to quickly recover due to his Immortal Sacred Lightning Body''s immortal characteristic, similar to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Destruction Dragon Body.


    "His body¡­!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was surprised. In the clash just now, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could tell that Zhao Feng''s body was unusual in its defense, resistance, and recovery speed. All three aspects had reached a terrifying level.


    "Hand over the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace!" Zhao Feng said with a cold expression.


    He understood what happened through Old Monster Xu. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, and Zhao Feng needed to take it away or else the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would eventually capture Liu Qinyin.


    "Are you joking?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon laughed.


    It originally wanted to capture someone that it could use to threaten Zhao Feng, but they had hidden themselves in this unique palace. However, what made the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon particularly surprised was that even it, a Demigod, couldn''t destroy this palace. This meant that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was unable to drag out the person within the palace to threaten Zhao Feng. However, even if that was the case, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wouldn''t give the palace to Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    Scarlet-black flames surged from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body as it unleashed a dark and cold dragon breath of Destruction.


    Zhao Feng felt his bloodline tremble slightly as it became suppressed. After all, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a wisp of the Destruction Dragon Race bloodline.


    Hu!


    The black-scaled non-human waved its claws, and a ball of black flames turned into a black dragon that leapt toward Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    Scarlet flames of Wind Lightning surged from Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng merged his physical force and Sacred Power together into a palm technique and unleashed its power.


    Boom! Peng!


    The two Destructive powers of fire exploded across Heaven and Earth. The hearts of all experts in the Sky Qin Zone shook as they felt explosions that caused tremors in Heaven and Earth. If the battle between these two was just a bit closer to the Sky Qin Zone, it would probably destroy the entire island.


    "What kind of experts are they?"


    "They can probably destroy the entire Sky Qin Zone with a flick of their fingers!"


    Some of the peak Emperors in the Sky Qin Zone didn''t dare to approach and were only able to see some blurry images.


    "Sky Penetrating Finger!" Zhao Feng''s right index finger released an ancient bloodline aura. At the same time, he merged his Sacred Power of Wind Lightning into it.


    Whoosh!


    A beam of scarlet-golden light shot forward with the terrifying power of Wind Lightning. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was unable to dodge at such close range, and a hole appeared in its chest.


    "This bloodline aura¡­" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression changed slightly. It had ambushed Zhao Feng in the God corpse before, and Zhao Feng used this terrifying bloodline Divine Power to push it back. However, it seemed that Zhao Feng had now merged this power into his body and could use it better. Even its Destruction Dragon Body needed time to recover from the damage caused by this power.


    "Bai Lin, you tricked me!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had an ugly expression as it messaged in anger. The strength that Zhao Feng was currently displaying was completely comparable to a Demigod, and he had an eye-bloodline that even the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was scared of. Even if the situation was good, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would only be able to fight Zhao Feng to a draw.


    "I''m not sure what''s going on. My Eye of Destiny still hasn''t sensed any danger!"


    Bai Lin didn''t really understand what was going on either.


    Boom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a gruesome expression as the scarlet-black flames around it rose to another level.


    "Dragon Breath of Destruction!" A forbidden Destructive aura started to brew within the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body.


    "Not good; the laws of Destruction!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned to shock.


    The laws of Destruction were the nemesis of all immortal and undying bodies. The power of God Tribulation Lightning also contained the laws of Destruction, but they weren''t the pure laws of Destruction. Even with Zhao Feng''s newly-improved body, he would be severely injured if he took this attack head-on.


    "Hmph. Since I''m in the Nanlin Sea right now, there''s no need for me to hide it!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed as a triangular piece of metal appeared in his hand. At the same time, countless white bolts of lightning flashed in Zhao Feng''s left eye as a Destructive Intent started to appear.


    Boom! Voom!


    A ball of burning God Tribulation Lightning Symbols thudded against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul.


    However, at the same time, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon also spat out a ball of forbidden scarlet-black divine flames.


    Weng~ Boom!


    A giant scarlet-black fireball appeared in Heaven and Earth like a scarlet-black sun. It radiated a forbidden aura that could destroy everything in the world.


    "Arghhh¡­!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon started to scream after being attacked by Zhao Feng.


    After the pain faded away though, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed a smile of mockery. "Hehehe, this brat is a retard. He''s not even dodging!"


    Although it had taken a Destructive eye-bloodline technique from Zhao Feng, his Dragon Breath of Destruction contained even more laws of Destruction.


    However, the next instant, a figure jumped out of the scarlet-black fireball.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng immediately approached the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Sky Penetrating Finger!"


    Zhao Feng pointed at the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s head.


    Shua~~ Whoosh!


    A scarlet-golden light radiating an ancient bloodline Divine Power shot through the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s head alongside a terrifying power of Wind Lightning.


    "Arghhh¡­! How is this possible!?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon screamed in pain as it looked at the unharmed Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng withstood an attack that contained the Origin Power of Destruction ¨C this was impossible! The laws of Destruction could destroy everything!


    "That is¡­ a divine weapon!?"


    The next instant, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes locked onto the black shield covered in green lines in Zhao Feng''s hand.

 1131 The Power of the Divine Weapon

    Chapter 1131 - The Power of the Divine Weapon


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon should have had the advantage if both of them took the opponent''s attack head-on. However, at this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon realized that Zhao Feng had used a defense-type divine weapon to completely block its Dragon Breath of Destruction. This meant that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had taken Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame for nothing. Furthermore, after charging out unharmed, Zhao Feng used his Sky Penetrating Finger with lightning-quick speed and injured it even more.


    Zhao Feng has a defensive divine weapon. I''m unable to injure him with my current power! the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon thought.


    Zhao Feng''s defensive divine weapon didn''t frighten the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon away. Instead, its killing intent only became stronger. With the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s knowledge, it could tell that the defensive divine weapon in Zhao Feng''s hand wasn''t a normal divine weapon.


    "Hmph, divine weapons need Divine Power to be activated. Let me see just how much Divine Power you have!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon roared in anger.


    Hu~~ Boom!


    Black flames arose from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon as the figure of a several-hundred-yard-long black dragon appeared in Heaven and Earth. A disastrous aura that could destroy Heaven and Earth spread from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and covered everything within several dozen thousand miles.


    All the experts of the Sky Qin Zone could faintly see a large black serpent dragon.


    "Oh my god¡­ what is that!?"


    "Such a terrifying monster!"


    The experts that were far away from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were in utter shock. They had never seen such a terrifying monster in their lives.


    "Zhao Feng!" Li Xueyi worried for the person fighting against the black serpent dragon.


    The female in white that arrived half a year ago was extremely similar to the female in white that had entered the 49th floor before, so Li Xueyi guessed that the Zhao Feng mentioned by the non-human expert was the same Zhao Feng that she knew.


    Wu~~ Roar!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon roared toward the sky and pounced toward Zhao Feng. After returning to its original form, Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques and Sky Penetrating Finger technique caused less damage to it. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was planning to use its Destruction Dragon Body to clash against Zhao Feng head-on and force him to use all his Divine Power.


    Shu~~


    Scarlet-black flames surrounded the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s claws as it charged toward Zhao Feng.


    Seeing that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had returned to its original form and was charging at him, Zhao Feng immediately knew what the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was thinking.


    Due to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s large body, the damage caused by Zhao Feng''s Sky Penetrating Finger could basically be ignored. However, it wasn''t as if Zhao Feng didn''t have any wide-range techniques.


    Hu!


    A terrifying ancient bloodline Divine Power spread from Zhao Feng''s index finger. At the same time, Zhao Feng merged the power of his Little World of Wind Lightning and his Physical Force Lightning Domain into this move.


    "Earth Destroying Finger!"


    Zhao Feng''s finger released a strong surge of Wind Lightning as well as a forceful Intent.


    Boom!


    An enormous beam of light alongside a scarlet storm of lightning engulfed the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s claw. Part of the attack also landed on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body.


    At the same time, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attack crushed toward Zhao Feng like a black mountain.


    Ding! Bam!


    Zhao Feng raised the shield and blocked the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attack.


    "The range is so big, but it still contains this much power!?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon looked at Zhao Feng with a hint of fear. However, in order to expend all of Zhao Feng''s Divine Power, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon needed to clash against Zhao Feng head-on.


    Di! Da!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s broken claws started to slowly recover.


    "Destructive Dragon Blast!" Scarlet-black dragon flames of Destruction surged from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s claws.


    Hu~~


    The two surges of Destruction dragon flames twisted and turned into two scarlet-black fire dragons that charged toward Zhao Feng from two sides.


    I can''t continue like this. I need to finish off the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon as quickly as possible!


    Zhao Feng''s eyes became grim. The power of his Soul eye-bloodline techniques was drastically reduced against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon in its current state, and if he tried to use the Eye of Heaven to amplify his eye-bloodline techniques, Zhao Feng''s body might be destroyed by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon first.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng waved his right hand, and Zhao Wan appeared next to him.


    "Absolute Domain of Earth!" Zhao Wan''s eyes focused, and nature turned into the element of Earth as it rushed toward Zhao Feng and formed barriers of dark yellow rocks around him. However, it was hard for Zhao Wan to block the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attacks with his current cultivation.


    Boom! Weng~~


    Earth of Wind Lightning Sacred Power appeared around Zhao Feng and instantly controlled the rocks nearby.


    "Earth Lightning Sacred Armor!" Zhao Feng circulated his battle technique, and the countless rocks nearby turned into a giant defensive armor.


    Boom! Peng! Peng!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attack landed on the combined defense of Zhao Feng and Zhao Wan and was completely blocked.


    "The Eyes of Myriad Forms!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was surprised. The Eyes of Myriad Forms had absolute offense and defense in the physical dimension. It could even support others.


    "Why is this brat not using his divine weapon to defend?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t help but curse. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wanted Zhao Feng to use his divine weapon and expend all his Divine Power.


    However, in the next instant, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon became completely dazed. After the layer of earth around Zhao Feng disappeared, the black shield in Zhao Feng''s hand started to change shape.


    Ding! Ding!


    A black metallic fan appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. The green lines on it flashed like a painting of mountains and water.


    With just a thought, Zhao Wan instantly knew what Zhao Feng wanted to do.


    "Myriad Forms of Wind Lightning!" Zhao Wan focused his eyes, and the nature of Heaven and Earth nearby started to change once more.


    Hu~~


    Heaven and Earth changed; winds raged and lightning crackled.


    Zhao Feng merged a wisp of Divine Power into the black metallic fan to activate it.


    Weng~ Hu! Hu!


    At this instant, all the Wind Lightning was sucked into the divine weapon.


    "That divine weapon¡­" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression turned to shock. It instantly realized that Zhao Feng''s divine weapon had many uses and could change form at any moment.


    "Rage of Wind Lightning!" Zhao Feng immediately waved the divine weapon in his hand.


    Boom! Hu~~


    A giant fan made from the laws of Wind Lightning appeared in Heaven and Earth and crushed toward the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. The power of Wind Lightning in Heaven and Earth was like a tsunami as it roared and radiated a Divine Power that reigned supreme.


    "An offense-type divine weapon that can unleash such a wide-range attack!?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was instantly dumbfounded after seeing the laws of Wind Lightning that filled the sky. If it had to withstand this attack head-on, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would definitely be severely injured even with its Destruction Dragon Body.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had to turn back into human form.


    Whoosh! Shu~~


    Only a small part of the attack that filled the sky landed on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body after it turned back into human form. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon then turned into a black streak of light and instantly disappeared.


    "Chase after him!" Zhao Feng picked up Zhao Wan and immediately followed.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    The wings behind Zhao Feng released a dazzling glow of light, and he turned into a bolt of scarlet-golden lightning that disappeared into the sky.


    Zhao Wan continuously changed the environment while they flew to allow Zhao Feng to fly at the fastest speed possible.


    All the experts in the Sky Qin Zone let out a breath after Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon left.


    "They finally left!"


    "If those two continued to fight here, just the remnants from that battle would be able to destroy the entire Sky Qin Zone!"


    "Who''s the other person? They actually managed to defeat that terrifying serpent dragon monster!"


    The upper echelon members of the various forces in the Sky Qin Zone were shocked.


    Li Xueyi let out a breath. She believed that it was Zhao Feng fighting against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and it seemed he was winning. At this moment, she calmed down after seeing Zhao Feng chase after the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    ¡­


    A dark streak of light flashed across the limitless ocean.


    "Bai Lin, if I die, you won''t live either!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon swore. It started to realize that the Eye of Destiny was useless in a fight.


    Bai Lin''s expression was extremely ugly within the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Origin Dimension. Even now, her Eyes of Destiny didn''t sense any signs of danger. Could her Eyes of Destiny have lost the ability to predict danger?


    "Hmm? This palace¡­!?" Bai Lin''s eyes focused on the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, and she found that her Eyes of Destiny were unable to find out any secrets from it. It was as if they were on entirely different levels.


    Ever since the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon took this palace, my Eyes of Destiny have stopped working! Thinking up to here, Bai Lin felt that this palace was even more terrifying.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, why not just give this palace to Zhao Feng? We can find other opportunities!" Bai Lin suggested.


    "Hmph, even I can''t destroy this palace. If my guesses are correct, this is a divine weapon!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon harrumphed coldly and rejected Bai Lin''s suggestion. If it was able to drag out the person within this palace, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wouldn''t just be able to blackmail Zhao Feng, it would also be able to obtain a divine weapon.


    Whoosh!


    A scarlet-golden arrow suddenly pierced through the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s chest.


    "Dammit, this brat has the Eyes of Myriad Forms helping him. He''s twice as fast as usual!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t help but curse with a ruffled expression.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Another two scarlet-golden arrows shot through the air and pierced through its body.


    "Bai Lin, you are complete trash!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon felt more wronged the more it thought. The only reason it came here was because Bai Lin said there was someone it could use to threaten Zhao Feng, but it wasn''t able to acquire that person because they were inside the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. Afterward, Bai Lin''s Eyes of Destiny had become completely useless, and she wasn''t even able to sense any danger before Zhao Feng arrived.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that Bai Lin had helped it obtain so many resources in the God corpse, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would think that Bai Lin was trying to trick it.


    A golden-white arrow with the aura of Divine Power suddenly descended.


    "Not good!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression changed dramatically.


    Whoosh! Shua~~


    This golden-white arrow of light pierced through its chest and ripped open an extremely large hole.


    Whoosh! Boom!


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Wan chased the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon from behind. Zhao Feng held a long black bow, but it soon back into a triangular piece of metal.


    "Zhao Feng¡­" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed a sharp expression.


    It was impossible to make Zhao Feng expend all of his Divine Power because Zhao Feng''s divine weapon could be used for both offense and defense, so this plan would only work if the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could take attacks from Zhao Feng''s divine weapon head-on. Furthermore, Zhao Feng had the Eyes of Myriad Forms supporting him, so the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would definitely be unable to escape. Some of his escaping secret techniques were also completely suppressed by Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline.


    "Zhao Feng, I''m willing to hand over this palace, but you must let me go!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was helpless and could only accept Bai Lin''s suggestion.


    "No need, I will take it myself!" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as he radiated killing intent.


    If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could actually threaten Liu Qinyin, it wouldn''t have ended up in such a state. Therefore, Zhao Feng would be able to obtain the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace anyway as long as he killed the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Let the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon go? How could he possibly do that!? Bai Lin, who was inside the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body, also needed to be finished off!

 1132 Bai Lin’s Fate

    Chapter 1132 - Bai Lin''s Fate


    "No need, I will take it myself!" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as he radiated killing intent.


    This was a great dance to kill the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Bai Lin, so Zhao Feng definitely wouldn''t just let them off like that.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Countless white lightning bolts sparkled from Zhao Feng''s left eye as a strong surge of Destructive soul power appeared as well.


    Voom!


    A ball of blazing God Tribulation Lightning symbols exploded in the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s face.


    "Arghhh¡­! Zhao Feng, don''t force me!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul was heavily injured, but its soul was very strong. If it was a normal Demigod instead, their soul would have probably become very weak from Zhao Feng''s continuous Soul eye-bloodline techniques.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng used another offensive eye-bloodline technique after the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame.


    He felt that it was very hard to kill the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. With the level of Zhao Feng''s soul, his God''s Spiritual Eye, and the God Tribulation Lightning, he was still only able to heavily injure the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul instead of destroy it outright.


    There weren''t many God Tribulation Lightning symbols left in Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body either. Zhao Feng needed to be on guard at every moment against an enemy as terrifying as the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, so he wouldn''t dare to expend all his God Tribulation Lightning symbols easily.


    "Swords of Piercing Metal! Blades of Utmost Speed!"


    On the side, Zhao Wan circulated the Eyes of Myriad Forms and kept on using powerful attacks that weakened the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Destruction Dragon Body.


    "Arghh¡­! Zhao Feng, you forced me to do this!" Insanity flashed through the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes as a chaotic black fire surged from its black scales.


    Weng~~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body suddenly released an ancient power of Destruction as countless divine black flames spewed out. The air itself started to twist and crack.


    "Origin Power of Destruction!" Zhao Feng''s eyes squinted as he focused.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was finally going to give its all. It had used the Origin Power of Destruction, increasing its strength dramatically, but this was only temporary. The Origin Power of Destruction was the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s foundation, so its power would be permanently reduced depending on how much it used.


    Under normal circumstances, Zhao Feng should avoid the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and wait until it finished using all its Origin Power of Destruction. However, Zhao Feng was very certain that, if the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon managed to escape this time, it would come trouble Zhao Feng again in the future, and it would only be stronger.


    "Zhao Feng, you can die in peace after forcing me to use my Origin Power of Destruction!"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s face contorted in pain, frenzy, and deadliness. Divine black flames burned across its body, and a momentum that could destroy Heaven and Earth affected everything within ten thousand miles. This black flame could even ignite the air, which kept on burning as if it was going to destroy everything.


    After using its Origin Power of Destruction, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attacks had reached another level. At the same time, its Destruction Dragon Body became even more powerful as well.


    This meant that Zhao Feng had to use the divine weapon to face the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attacks. In its current state, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was even somewhat resilient to the divine weapon.


    Shua!


    Zhao Wan retreated ten thousand miles under Zhao Feng''s orders and just used the Eyes of Myriad Forms to support Zhao Feng.


    Hua!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon turned into a black blur and flashed toward Zhao Feng.


    "Earth Lightning Sacred Armor!"


    Zhao Feng circulated his Earth of Wind Lightning Sacred Power and worked with Zhao Wan to use a defensive secret technique.


    Boom! Peng!


    Zhao Feng clashed against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Boom! Bam!


    In just an instant, the surge of Destructive black flames ignited Zhao Feng''s armor and started to burn. However, the damage caused was relatively small because of Zhao Feng''s Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Ding! Ding!


    The triangular piece of metal in Zhao Feng''s hand instantly turned into a black divine sword. Zhao Feng put his Divine Power into it, and the green lines on it flashed with a holy golden light.


    Zhao Feng slashed forward, and a ripple of darkness with domineering Divine Power sliced out.


    Shua! Shu~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was thrown back several miles by Zhao Feng''s attack. A giant gash appeared on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon from its shoulder to its waist.


    Hu~ Hu~


    Black flames of Destruction spewed out from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s injury, and it started to slowly recover.


    "How long can you last? The moment you use up all your Divine Power is the moment you die!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon laughed with a gruesome smile.


    Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was using its Origin Power of Destruction and its cultivation might drop back down to the Mystic Light Realm or even the Void God Realm in the end, it would be worth it if it could kill Zhao Feng and take everything from him.


    However, right at this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon felt that Zhao Feng''s gaze was weird. It was as if he had lost all color and light in his eyes.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon instantly raised its head. A giant golden Eye of Heaven had appeared in the sky, and it glittered with a profound golden light as it gazed down coldly.


    An invisible surge of mental energy pressure descended onto the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. An endless purple-and-gold whirlpool that seemed to connect to a limitless maze instantly extended out from the golden Eye of Heaven, and a force that could suck out one''s soul instantly enveloped the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "This move¡­" Surprise appeared on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s face. It had seen Zhao Feng use this move in the Divine Illusion Dimension before.


    "Zhao Feng, even if you use that move through that eyeball, you still won''t be able to suck away my soul!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was extremely confident in itself. When using its Origin Power of Destruction, its mental energy also became stronger, so it was slightly resilient to the golden Eye of Heaven.


    "Hmm? Something''s not right!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression changed dramatically. It realized that its soul didn''t feel any sucking force and was only restrained by this forbidden power.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon instantly knew the meaning behind Zhao Feng''s actions. Zhao Feng just wanted to contain the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and cause it to waste its Origin Power of Destruction. After the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s cultivation dropped, Zhao Feng would be able to easily kill it.


    "However, your defense will also reduce dramatically when you use that eyeball!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon focused its eyes and looked at Zhao Feng''s body. Zhao Feng''s body only had about 30% of his full battle-power when using the Eye of Heaven.


    At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon finally understood why Zhao Feng used the divine weapon to push it back several miles.


    "Hmph!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon harrumphed coldly as it unleashed all its Soul Intent to resist the golden Eye of Heaven in the sky.


    Hu!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon moved forward a certain amount of distance. A trail of black flames of Destruction was left behind wherever it went and caused the sky to burn.


    "This serpent dragon¡­" Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly. At this moment, Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye could be said to be at its most powerful moment ever. However, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was an Ancient God at its peak. Its comprehension had reached an extremely high level. Adding on the fact that it had a strong soul and the Origin Power of Destruction, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s resilience was extremely strong.


    Hu~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon once again moved toward Zhao Feng and managed to unleash an attack despite its soul being restrained.


    "Absolute Domain of Earth!" Zhao Wan immediately circulated his eyes and helped Zhao Feng block the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attack.


    Boom! Peng!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attack landed on Zhao Feng after destroying Zhao Wan''s defense, but it did no damage.


    "I need to get closer!" Sweat poured out from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s head. Its momentum was much weaker compared to before.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was paying a very big price to block the Eye of Heaven. Its Soul Intent and Origin Power of Destruction were being quickly expended, but this was the only thing it could do. It had to block Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique, approach him, and kill him.


    Hu~~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon once again managed to creep forward a little bit.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!"


    Black flames of Destruction surged from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s hands as it prepared to attack Zhao Feng.


    However, right at this instant, a silver-gray light flashed behind him.


    Shu~~~


    A ripple of darkness glittered with a forbidden aura of Divine Power as it pierced through the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Origin Dimension.


    "This cat¡­!" Fear and shock appeared in the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes. It knew that Zhao Feng had spiritual pets, but it didn''t expect the cat''s offense to be so strong.


    Wah!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon spat out a mouthful of black blood as the aura around it started to dim.


    "Good job!" Zhao Feng had the little thieving cat hide from the start of the battle and told it to attack the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon at the critical moment.


    Weng~~


    Now that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was weakened, Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye was able to completely suppress it.


    The little thieving cat had heavily injured the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Origin Dimension. At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Origin Power of Destruction was slowly seeping out, but the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t do anything about it.


    Hu~~


    Limitless black flames burned in the sky and destroyed everything. Cracks of different sizes started to spread through space.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, you can''t escape. Prepare to die!" Zhao Feng revealed a confident expression.


    At this point, all he needed to do was maintain the current situation. If he kept the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul bound, he would be able to obtain victory.


    "I admit that I''ve been defeated by you, but don''t think that you will get what you wish!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed an insane expression, and the Origin Dimension of Destruction within its body started to expand.


    "Not good, it''s going to explode all its remaining power!"


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye saw everything. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul was still bound by Zhao Feng, so it required a lot of effort just to self-destruct. If Zhao Feng stopped using the Eye of Heaven and escaped right now, he would be able to exit the range of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s self-destruction. However, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s true aim was to destroy the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace and Liu Qinyin within it, so Zhao Feng would have regrets for the rest of his life.


    However, in the next instant, both Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon paused. Bai Lin activated a substandard God weapon from within the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Origin Dimension and ran out with fear.


    "Eye of Destiny, you retard! Die!" Anger burned in the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s heart when it saw Bai Lin. To a certain extent, Bai Lin was the one that made it end up like this, so it was going to kill Bai Lin as well before it died.


    However, right at this moment, the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace also floated out from the Origin Dimension.


    Hu~


    The doors of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace opened, and a strong suction force locked onto Bai Lin.


    "No!" Bai Lin was filled with fear.


    She had sensed something in this palace when the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Origin Dimension was broken. Bai Lin suddenly felt as if her fate was no longer under her own control anymore. This was the first time she had felt such a thing. Losing control of her fate scared Bai Lin and made her feel a life-and-death danger.


    Whoosh!


    Bai Lin, who was actually extremely weak, was unable to do anything before being sucked into the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were both frozen as they looked at this scene in shock.


    "Here''s my chance!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed. Countless white lightning bolts started to flash within the Eye of Heaven in the sky as it radiated a strong aura of God Tribulation Lightning.

 1133 Returning to the Azure Flower Continen

    Chapter 1133 - Returning to the Azure Flower Continent


    Countless white lightning bolts started to flash within the Eye of Heaven in the sky as it radiated a strong aura of God Tribulation Lightning.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng released all his remaining God Tribulation Lightning.


    Voom!


    A ball of God Tribulation Lightning exploded onto the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul and wreaked havoc.


    "Arghhhh¡­!" A world of lightning seemed to bombard the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul.


    Whoosh!


    The Eye of Heaven in the sky disappeared after this eye-bloodline technique was used, and Zhao Feng''s eyes recovered to normal.


    "Still not dead!?" Zhao Feng''s heart dropped. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s lifeforce stunned Zhao Feng, and he finally understood why Ancient God Xie Yang chose to seal it ¨C because it was impossible to kill. After all, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a wisp of the Destruction Dragon Race bloodline. Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was a lot weaker than back then, it was still extremely difficult for Zhao Feng to kill it.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng instantly closed in on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Forbidden World Illusion Maze!" Zhao Feng''s left eye released a strong surge of Eye Intent that turned into an endless and alluring purple-and-gold world.


    The moment the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon woke up from the pain of the God Tribulation Lightning, its consciousness was attracted by Zhao Feng''s left eye and fell into a world of illusions.


    However, just a while later, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon started to struggle. The injuries on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body had almost completely recovered as well. Even its shattered Origin Dimension of Destruction was recovering by itself.


    "As expected of the Destruction Dragon Race!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but exclaim. The body of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was several times stronger than Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body.


    "Zhao Feng¡­" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon croaked at this moment. "You''ve almost used up all your Eye Intent and God Tribulation Lightning, right? You can''t kill me!"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon became smug as it sensed the change in Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent.


    Zhao Feng had a grim expression and didn''t say anything, but the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was indeed correct. Zhao Feng had used up all his God Tribulation Lightning and didn''t have much Eye Intent left.


    Using the Eye of Heaven required a lot of Eye Intent. Furthermore, Zhao Feng had already used it twice earlier. Through the Eye of Heaven, he also used a bunch of offensive eye-bloodline techniques as well as the Gaze of the God Eye over a long period of time.


    Zhao Feng had also used up all his Divine Power as well. Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was extremely weak right now, it was still extremely difficult for Zhao Feng to kill it right now.


    "I can''t kill you, but you can''t escape either!"


    Zhao Feng had a cold expression, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s heart dropped. It had used too much Origin Power of Destruction, and it also lost a lot due to its Origin Dimension being shattered.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could only use its power to stabilize its strength at the level of a Sacred King. Once the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon stopped using the Origin Power of Destruction, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s cultivation might drop even further.


    Hu~~


    A surge of purple-and-gold mist appeared from Zhao Feng''s back and merged into Heaven and Earth. Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon instantly appeared in the center of a purple-and-gold maze.


    "You can''t escape in your current state!" Zhao Feng said.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul had been bombarded by Zhao Feng many times and was now extremely weak. Zhao Feng had also used up all his Eye Intent and was relying on the power of his Little World.


    "Attack together!" Zhao Feng roared, and the little thieving cat and Zhao Wan instantly hurried over.


    "Swords of Piercing Metal! Blades of Extreme Wind!" Zhao Wan circulated the Eyes of Myriad Forms and continuously attacked the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body.


    At the same time, the little thieving cat used its divine weapon to cut the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body. Although the little thieving cat couldn''t activate its divine weapon yet, the sharpness of the divine weapon alone could still cause a lot of damage.


    "Arghhhh¡­!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s consciousness was blinded by the Little World of Illusions, and it just took the beating.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng merged his power of Wind Lightning with his physical force and thrust out large scarlet palms of scarlet lightning.


    Boom! Peng!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body became tattered once more due to the group beating. Attacks from Sacred Lords could pass through the physical dimension and hit the soul even if they weren''t soul-based, so it also did a certain amount of damage to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul.


    "Dammit, I¡­" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wanted to cry. It really wanted to self-destruct right now, but the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace and Bai Lin had both already escaped from its Origin Dimension. Zhao Feng could also quickly escape the range of its self-destruction. This meant that self-destruction was the same as regular suicide, so what was the point?


    Right at this moment, a colorful light covered everyone.


    "This is¡­ the Myriad Forms Dimension?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression turned to surprise


    A dominating power spread across the air. Limitless Intent of Earth instantly appeared in the area and completely suppressed the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. This Intent of Earth filled every inch and made the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon unable to move, but Zhao Feng and company could still freely move through the area.


    "Physical Force Lightning Domain!" Zhao Feng circulated the Earth of Wind Lightning Sacred Power and released a gravitational force that complimented the Intent of Earth and suppressed the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon further.


    Miao!


    A dark golden dragon-snake whip appeared in the little thieving cat''s paw and wrapped around the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. A numbing sensation filled the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and it felt like all its power was being sucked away.


    "Zhao Feng, what are you doing¡­?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a bad feeling. It could tell that Zhao Feng had some kind of plan in mind.


    Hu~


    The little thieving cat opened its mouth, and the Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly appeared. The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly immediately released its silk and some Dream Pollen to restrict and suppress the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon even more.


    "Fuck!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon felt powerless as it started to lose control of its True Yuan and bloodline.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, I currently lack a flying steed!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon almost spat out blood when it heard this, but right now, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t even think about resisting.


    Hu~~


    The Cloud Silkworm Saint Butterfly landed on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s head and kept on releasing Dream Pollen.


    "Good! This is the moment when the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon is the weakest and has the least resistance!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed as he immediately circulated his left eye.


    Hu~~~


    A ripple of eye-bloodline power appeared around the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was sucked into Zhao Feng''s God Eye Dimension in the next instant.


    "Although I can''t kill the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, I can still squeeze out all its value!"


    Zhao Feng let out a breath. He had used up too much energy and Eye Intent, so he couldn''t do anything to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon right now and could only put the matter aside for now.


    Hu~~


    The sky started to return to normal, and Zhao Feng''s eyes landed on the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    "Qinyin, I''m sorry for coming late!" Zhao Feng apologized to Liu Qinyin. After all, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon only came because of Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng then took the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace and headed back toward the Sky Qin Zone.


    Zhao Feng''s arrival caused another disturbance in the Sky Qin Zone. All the experts in the Sky Qin Zone were scared that they would make this expert unhappy.


    "Sky Qin Sacred Palace Master, I''m here to return the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace," Zhao Feng arrived at Sky Qin Sacred Palace and said.


    "Thank you for returning this inheritance, Senior. Sky Qin Sacred Palace will never be able to repay such gratitude¡­." The Sky Qin Sacred Palace Master''s heart shook. She couldn''t imagine how this man was able to take back the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace from that black serpent dragon, but she was more curious as to why Zhao Feng helped Sky Qin Sacred Palace take back this item.


    "May I ask Senior if you are the Left Eyed Heavenly Emperor that once shook the Cang Ocean?" Li Xueyi asked in a trembling tone. Although the appearance of this male was different from Zhao Feng, she felt that the clothing style and aura of this male were extremely similar to Zhao Feng.


    Hu!


    All of Sky Qin Sacred Palace instantly became dead-silent, and the Sky Qin Sacred Palace Master''s expression changed dramatically as she tried to give an explanation.


    "That''s me!" Zhao Feng replied.


    Hearing Zhao Feng''s reply, the minds of the Sky Qin Sacred Palace Master and Li Xueyi shook in disbelief. They couldn''t imagine that Zhao Feng, who was just a King when they met, had grown to such a stage where Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords were his servants and he was able to defeat that terrifying black serpent dragon.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng returned the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace back to where it originally was. He then took out some treasures that were enough to make Sacred Lords go crazy and gave them to the Sky Qin Sacred Palace Master. After all, back then, it was because of Sky Qin Sacred Palace that Zhao Feng was able to see Liu Qinxin. It was also his fault that the Emperor of Death arrived and brought disaster to Sky Qin Sacred Palace. Even the Palace Master''s husband died.


    Zhao Feng then said goodbye to Sky Qin Sacred Palace and got ready to leave.


    "Since I''m already here, I should go back to the Azure Flower Continent!" Zhao Feng gazed into the distance emotionally.


    At this instant, the doors to the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace slowly opened, and a female in white walked out.


    "I''ll go back with you!" Liu Qinyin said.


    "Let''s go then!" Zhao Feng paused for a moment before revealing a faint smile.


    Liu Qinyin must have experienced something in the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. It seemed she could freely enter and exit the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace now. Maybe the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace had recognized Liu Qinyin.


    Zhao Feng knew a little bit about the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, but even he couldn''t see through this ancient palace.


    Zhao Feng and Liu Qinyin arrived at the Ancient Azure Island Zone a month later.


    Hu~~


    They ignored all resistance and descended onto the Azure Flower Continent.


    At this moment, within a scarlet-black hall in the Middle Continent, there was a ghastly skeleton with gold and silver bones that gave off an aura of the Dao of Ghosts. At a certain point in time, two dark flames twitched in its eye sockets.


    "He''s back!"

 1134 Parting Ways

    Chapter 1134 - Parting Ways


    "This is the Western Continent of the Azure Flower Continent. Your hometown is in the Canopy Great Country in the Northern Continent!" Zhao Feng said to Liu Qinyin next to him, who was slightly dazed.


    They spent two hours flying from the Western Continent to the Northern Continent and arrived at the Canopy Great Country.


    Liu Qinyin''s eyes flashed slightly when she arrived as if she experienced a familiar sensation.


    "I''ll use the Dao of Illusions to change your appearance. You can use the identity of Liu Qinxin to live in your hometown for a while¡­."


    After saying that, an invisible mist of mental energy spread from Zhao Feng''s left eye and covered Liu Qinyin so that anyone who saw Liu Qinyin would think they were seeing Liu Qinxin. He did the same for himself; anyone that saw him would see him as the original Zhao Feng.


    "Feng, I''ll be leaving now!" Liu Qinyin said before leaving.


    Zhao Feng was dazzled. At this instant, he felt as if the person in front of him was actually Liu Qinxin.


    "This might be the last time I stand in the Azure Flower Continent!" Zhao Feng sighed.


    Many years had passed, and Zhao Feng, who had once struggled here, was now a peak expert of the continent zone.


    This time, Zhao Feng came back to the Azure Flower Continent to see the place where he once lived and fought in. He would spend time with his parents and see his friends so that his heart of fighting would be able to rest.


    Zhao Feng first came to the Iron Blood Religion after parting ways with Liu Qinyin.


    "Zhao Feng!" Patriarch Hong looked at the human figure in front of him with surprise.


    Back then, Zhao Feng came back with the skeletal Division Leader and changed the fate of the entire Azure Flower Continent. The skeletal Division Leader had taken over the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and created the Scarlet Moon Hall, becoming the ruler of the Azure Flower Continent. However, no one knew that the strongest expert of the Azure Flower Continent was just Zhao Feng''s servant.


    This time, when Patriarch Hong inspected Zhao Feng, he felt as if he was looking at a normal cultivator. He couldn''t see anything at all, but Patriarch Hong was certain that Zhao Feng had reached a level that he couldn''t even imagine.


    Tie Mo soon arrived, and they all talked for an entire day and night.


    Zhao Feng left the Iron Blood Religion the second day and headed toward the Cloud area. On the way, he scanned around with his Divine Sense and saw a few familiar figures. When he passed through Flooding Lake City, he saw Liu Yuan, Liu Tingyu, Master Tiegan, and more.


    At this moment in time, Liu Jiutian ¨C the City Lord ¨C had a red face, and tears were streaming down his face. He finally managed to see his daughter again after several dozen years. He knew that all of this should be because of Zhao Feng.


    The father and daughter sat in the middle of a pavilion located in the middle of a peaceful lake surrounded by lotuses. Liu Qinyin had a faint smile as she chatted with Liu Jiutian about what happened after arriving at the Sky Qin Inheritance by using the dreams she had.


    At a certain moment, Liu Qinyin raised her head and glanced up toward the sky.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s figure had already disappeared, and he soon arrived in the Cloud Country.


    Zhao Feng stood above Sky Moon Mountain and instantly knew everything that was happening in the Broken Moon Clan after scanning with his Divine Sense. At the same time, memories of his childhood that had been forgotten surfaced in Zhao Feng''s mind. It was as if he was still fighting in the Broken Moon Clan.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng descended into the Broken Moon Clan.


    "Junior Martial Brother Zhao!" Lin Fan suddenly noticed Zhao Feng''s figure.


    "Senior Martial Brother Lin!" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    Lin Fan used to be the top outer disciple of the Broken Moon Clan in the past. They had helped each other after becoming inner disciples.


    "You''ve finally come back after so long!" Lin Fan revealed an expression of reminiscence.


    "All of you can leave." Lin Fan sent a few disciples and Elders away, then walked around the Broken Moon Clan with Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng would talk to any friends or Elders that he knew.


    Zhao Feng finally arrived at where First Elder was located. Zhao Feng had originally been thinking of switching out First Elder''s arm with a new one, but First Elder rejected it.


    "I''m already used to the Wheel of Light and Darkness. It''s very useful!" First Elder smiled.


    After saying goodbye to First Elder, Zhao Feng returned to his parents. He stayed next to his parents and enjoyed the warmth of family.


    Zhao Feng left after a month.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s figure instantly appeared in the sky somewhere. In front of him was a gold and silver skeleton.


    The skeletal Division Leader was the Hall Master of the Scarlet Moon Hall. It was the hero that destroyed the Scarlet Moon Demonic Religion and a legendary figure that shook the entire Azure Flower Continent.


    "Zhao¡­ Master!" The skeletal Division Leader was extremely respectful.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng gave off the feeling that he was just a mortal, but this scared the skeletal Division Leader even more. With its understanding of Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng had most likely broken through to the Mystic Light Realm and was now a Sacred Lord. Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lords were peerless experts even in the Cang Ocean ¨C legendary figures in control of three-star forces.


    "You are free. You don''t need to call me Master anymore!" Zhao Feng said. He just told the skeletal Division Leader to protect the Azure Flower Continent and gave it freedom.


    "Understood!" The skeletal Division Leader was overjoyed. Zhao Feng basically meant that he was okay with its actions in the Azure Flower Continent.


    "I''ll leave the Azure Flower Continent to you!"


    Zhao Feng walked over to the skeletal Division Leader and gently patted it on the shoulder.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s figure disappeared into Heaven and Earth. The skeletal Division Leader was unable to sense him at all!


    "As I thought, he''s already reached a stage where I can''t even imagine¡­." The skeletal Division Leader was surprised and felt lucky that it followed Zhao Feng back then.


    "Hmm? My bottleneck¡­?" The skeletal Division Leader''s expression changed dramatically.


    It had been stuck at the gate to the Void God Realm for many years and was unable to break through. It was mostly because the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the Azure Flower Continent was too thin, and the other reason was because of its foundation.


    However, at this moment, the skeletal Division Leader realized that the Crystal Core within its body was starting to slowly evolve. It was as if it could break through to the Void God Realm at any moment if it wished to.


    On a certain day, a Magnificent Power of the Void God Realm spread from the Scarlet Moon Hall. The Scarlet Moon Hall rejoiced as it became a two-star power, but the skeletal Division Leader knew that all of this was just because of one gentle pat from Zhao Feng.


    Back in Flooding Lake City, Liu Qinyin said goodbye to Liu Jiutian.


    Liu Jiutian smiled with relief when he saw Zhao Feng and his daughter leave.


    "From the looks of it, my daughter has found her true partner¡­."


    ¡­


    The journey back to the continent zone was much easier since Zhao Feng was able to use the spatial markings left behind by the Misty Spatial World to teleport back.


    Eventually, Zhao Feng and Liu Qinyin arrived at the Sky Qin Zone.


    "Feng, we shall meet again if fate decrees!" Liu Qinyin smiled at Zhao Feng.


    "Maybe." Zhao Feng''s expression was slightly dim.


    Liu Qinyin had told him her plan on the way here; she was going to remain behind in the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. Zhao Feng knew that the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace was extremely profound, and there seemed to be a connection between it and Liu Qinyin. This was a very safe place that she could cultivate in.


    However, from Zhao Feng''s point of view, they might not see each other ever again after this goodbye. After all, his goal was the Heavenly Divine Realm and to witness the legends in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Zhao Feng didn''t ask anything regarding Bai Lin. With Zhao Feng''s current cultivation, Bai Lin wasn''t much of a threat anymore. Zhao Feng also guessed that Liu Qinyin or the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace itself needed Bai Lin.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s figure started to fade away amongst flashes of silver light and completely disappeared.


    "Feng, I''m sorry that I can''t stay with you!" Liu Qinyin sighed with a slightly sad expression. "But we will meet again¡­."


    Hu!


    Liu Qinyin immediately floated toward the forbidden ground of Sky Qin Sacred Palace, and no one dared to stop her.


    The instant she appeared in the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, Liu Qinyin appeared on the 49th floor. Bai Lin was bound by a powerful force in the very middle and was unable to move.


    "What do you want to do?" Bai Lin''s Eyes of Destiny had lost all their power, which made her full of fear.


    Weng~~


    The entire giant circular palace started to spin. The stars in the ceiling seemed to come to life as they started to move in a profound way. At a certain moment, an ultimate force appeared from the sky.


    "This aura¡­!"


    Bai Lin started to tremble in disbelief. The stars started to slowly gather together and form an image that looked like an eye!


    ¡­


    Eventually, Zhao Feng returned to the Hall of Gods. Everything had remained the same since he left. After all, Zhao Feng only told Bi Qingyue that he was leaving the Hall of Gods, not why.


    Zhao Yufei, Nan Gongsheng, and Kun Yun were still in seclusion.


    "From the looks of it, the fortune that Yufei obtained in the God corpse isn''t simple!" Zhao Feng gently murmured as he looked toward where Zhao Yufei was in seclusion.


    A giant palace was surrounded in crystalline purple light and radiated a terrifying soul-shaking aura.


    "Master, the pills have been used, and the five disciples of the Tie Family have all awakened the perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline!" Bi Qingyue messaged Zhao Feng when she sensed that he had returned.


    "Okay, send them back to the Tie Family," Zhao Feng ordered. These five members of the Tie Family had been carefully picked; their strength, talent, bloodlines, and potential were all elite-class, so this outcome was expected.


    Zhao Feng then entered the forbidden grounds after there was nothing else to do.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the God Eye Dimension.


    "Zhao Feng¡­!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was completely suppressed in the God Eye Dimension and couldn''t do anything. Even its healing abilities were restricted.


    Zhao Feng unleashed a soul attack without saying anything and started to weaken the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s consciousness.


    "You will only live and have the possibility to recover to your peak strength if you become my servant!" Zhao Feng tried to persuade the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Weng~~ Weng~~ Shu!


    Zhao Feng condensed a Dark Heart Seal and started to imprint it into the depths of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul, but the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t work with him. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul was extremely strong, and it resisted.


    "Stop dreaming! I''ll never bow to you!"

 1135 Heavenly Divine Realm

    Chapter 1135 - Heavenly Divine Realm


    "Stop dreaming! I''ll never bow to you!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said in a mocking tone.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul was extremely strong, and it fought back, so Zhao Feng was unable to put a Dark Heart Seal into the depths of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul. In the end, he could only give up, but before he did, he unleashed another soul attack against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon inspected this dimension in shock after Zhao Feng left. It could do nothing in this unique dimension, but it could still look around with its eyes.


    A mysterious golden ball floated in the center of this dimension. It spun around calmly, and there was a faint golden ripple of light around it. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could feel that the mysterious golden ball was the lord of this dimension and that it was the source of the suppression, but the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t see any of the secrets of this mysterious golden ball.


    It then looked at the other items in this dimension. Many peerless extinct treasures floated here. They mainly consisted of ancient resources that even moved the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s heart.


    "If I could move around in this dimension and obtain these precious resources, I could recover the damage to my foundation, and my strength would increase by another level!"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had overused its Origin Power of Destruction when it fought with Zhao Feng. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s cultivation had dropped dramatically to the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm. At this moment, it was unable to move in this dimension and could only rely on the self-recovery ability of its body.


    However, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s desires were unrealistic. All it could do was look greedily at this dimension.


    ¡­


    Zhao Feng entered seclusion in the forbidden grounds of the Hall of Gods. He circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique to comprehend many things at once.


    The first and second parts of his focus cultivated his two main techniques. Since his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body had just broken through recently, there would be no dramatic improvements for a while, but Zhao Feng could still use his precious resources to consolidate them.


    The third of his thoughts was used to cultivate the Divine Forming Technique.


    All of Zhao Feng''s Divine Power came from the Divine Forming Technique, which absorbed Divine Power from God Crystals. Once his Divine Power ran out, Zhao Feng needed to use the Divine Forming Technique to refine more Divine Power since it couldn''t recover automatically, and he wouldn''t have time do so in a battle.


    The higher the level he cultivated the Divine Forming Technique to, the more Divine Power Zhao Feng could store. This was why Zhao Feng spent a lot of effort comprehending this technique.


    His fourth thought was focused on the Wind Lightning Raging Finger. Zhao Feng understood its true power after fighting Demigod Dark Ocean and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, so he didn''t forget to keep comprehending this skill.


    Zhao Feng''s finger had only merged with one tenth of the God blood''s power so far, and so the fifth of his thoughts focused on merging with the power of the God blood.


    Zhao Feng used the sixth of his thoughts to increase his understanding of Heaven and Earth.


    Zhao Feng used his remaining energy to analyze the third level of the Soul Splitting Technique and comprehend other battle skills, eye-bloodline techniques, and duplicate precious resources that he needed.


    Shua!


    A small part of Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the dimension of his left eye and chose one or two resources. He then activated the mysterious golden ball to replicate them.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression turned to shock. It didn''t know what Zhao Feng was doing, but it looked at the mysterious golden ball with surprise.


    Weng~~


    The mysterious golden ball started to spin faster and faster. Countless golden ripples shot out of it and passed through the two precious resources. A desolate Origin aura was slowly released from the mysterious golden ball and condensed in the air.


    At this moment, the suppression on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was even stronger. It felt extremely small against this terrifying pressure and wanted to bow instinctively.


    Whoosh!


    Two precious resources appeared above the mysterious golden ball two days later.


    "How is that possible!?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon roared. Even though it just witnessed the scene for itself, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t believe it.


    "It managed to duplicate an exact copy!?"


    ¡­


    Within the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng weakened the seal of the Ice Imperial Spear so that a small amount of the God blood''s power was released. A desolate and terrifying bloodline pressure soon started to spread.


    Hu!


    Zhao Feng controlled the flesh of his finger to absorb this powerful bloodline Divine Power. Because Zhao Feng''s index finger had already merged with a lot of the God blood, it was difficult to continue merging with it, so it required more time. However, this also meant that every additional bit he absorbed would make his finger technique stronger.


    Three fruits floated in front of Zhao Feng. The little thieving cat had dug a tiny hole in each of the crystal layers around the fruit. A thick and ancient Intent spread from the holes and filled the air around Zhao Feng.


    "The blue, yellow, and golden fruits respectively correlate to the laws of Lightning, Earth, and Metal."


    The three invisible Intents seemed to block Zhao Feng off from the rest of the world as they crushed toward his soul. Zhao Feng''s consciousness seemed to enter a desolate world made up of Earth, Lightning, and Metal.


    The theories behind these three Intents kept on appearing in Zhao Feng''s mind. In order to increase the level of his comprehension, Zhao Feng would also use the God''s Spiritual Eye to make sure he was properly awake to absorb more of this power. Of course, Zhao Feng focused more on the powers of Earth and Lightning.


    Three months later, the three fruits in front of Zhao Feng slowly descended.


    "My understanding of the laws of Earth, Lightning, and Metal has increased!" Zhao Feng had a happy expression.


    He then merged his understanding into his Sacred Power Whirlpool. The power of his Intent increased, and with the help of many resources, Zhao Feng''s cultivation had completely consolidated at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    Zhao Feng would be able to become a Sacred King within ten years.


    "Sacred King!" Zhao Feng felt extremely excited. Mystic Light Sacred Kings were the peak of cultivation in the continent zone. Demigods were just a special type of Sacred King, and Zhao Feng was extremely close to this cultivation level already.


    There were two reasons why Zhao Feng''s cultivation speed was so fast. The first was because of the resources from the Ancient Dream Realm, and the second was because of the God''s Spiritual Eye''s duplication ability. These two points combined allowed Zhao Feng to not worry about resources at all, and it allowed him to utilize all his resources.


    All of this happened because of the God''s Spiritual Eye. The God''s Spiritual Eye had changed Zhao Feng''s fate, and every time it evolved, it brought a lot of benefits to Zhao Feng.


    "I need to start understanding some things about the Heavenly Divine Realm now!"


    As his cultivation increased, Zhao Feng also needed to understand things he didn''t dare to even think of in the past.


    One day, Zhao Feng arrived at where Kun Yun was staying. Kun Yun was once a Demigod who tried to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, so he had experience facing the God Tribulation. If Zhao Feng was able to learn about the experience, it would increase his chances of breaking through in the future by 10% or even 20%.


    "Heavenly Divine Realm¡­!" Kun Yun''s expression couldn''t help but become solemn when these three words were mentioned. He then started to tell Zhao Feng his personal experience after the latter offered him resources.


    "In theory, one can break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm as soon as they become a Sacred King, but since even Demigods in the continent zone have such a low rate of success in breaking through, no Sacred King would even dare to try!" Kun Yun sighed.


    The spatial dimension where the continent zone was located was very far away from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The grade of the spatial dimension was also very low, so the experts here were weaker than others. For example, the Demigods in the continent zone might not even be a match for Sacred Kings in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "This is also why the chances of breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm in the continent zone are so low!"


    There were two main points why it was so hard to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    The first was that the spatial dimension of the continent zone was too weak. The foundation of the Mystic Light Realm experts was too weak, and their understanding was limited. They couldn''t form a steady and strong Divine Stage.


    The second was that their strength and their preparations weren''t enough to block the True God Lightning Tribulation. One could try again if they failed to form a Divine Stage, but one would turn into ashes if they couldn''t block the God Tribulation Lightning.


    "I also heard that the peerless geniuses of some higher-grade spatial dimensions could become a Rank Two or even Rank Three God when breaking through. This has never happened before in the history of the continent zone. It''s already a miracle to become a Rank One True God!" Kun Yun added.


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically. At this moment, he realized that the spatial dimension that the continent zone was located in was very weak in the Fan Universe.


    If I hadn''t come to the continent zone, I wouldn''t have been able to even think of touching the Heavenly Divine Realm even if I had a dozen millennia! Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. He felt extremely lucky that he could reach this step.


    "Zhao Feng, can you give me some more resources that contain the aura of Ancient Origin?" Kun Yun asked after telling Zhao Feng everything.


    "Containing the aura of Ancient Origin?" Zhao Feng''s expression paused, and he became slightly puzzled. This was the first time he had heard of such a term.


    "You don''t know about it?" Kun Yun didn''t believe it.


    "When one tries to become a God and passes the Lightning Tribulation, it''s in order to obtain the faint aura of Ancient Origin. One can only sense the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods by relying on the aura of Ancient Origin within their body!" Kun Yun told Zhao Feng the secrets of the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    "If one''s body contains a lot of aura of Ancient Origin, it can help change one''s bloodline, body, and power. It can make the cultivator''s foundation extremely strong and create a very strong Divine Stage. It dramatically helps when trying to break through to become a True God!"


    Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically after hearing what Kun Yun said. He suddenly understood why Kun Yun immediately agreed to resolving their feud.


    Some of the resources in the Ancient Dream Realm might contain this aura of Ancient Origin that Kun Yun is talking about! Zhao Feng''s eyes focused as he started to think.


    "Zhao Feng, I know that you definitely have more resources that contain the aura of Ancient Origin!" Kun Yun revealed a you-know-what-I''m-talking-about expression.

 1136 Arrival of the Dragon Emperor

    Chapter 1136 - Arrival of the Dragon Emperor


    "Zhao Feng, I know that you definitely have more resources that contain the aura of Ancient Origin!" Kun Yun revealed a you-know-what-I''m-talking-about expression.


    It was obvious that Kun Yun was asking Zhao Feng for resources, and his voice contained a hint of a threat.


    If the other Sacred Kings and Demigods of the continent zone were to learn that Zhao Feng had resources that contained Ancient Origin aura, all of them would become Zhao Feng''s enemy. After all, upon reaching the level of a Sacred King, everyone wanted to reach the Heavenly Divine Realm and head to the legendary Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. They wouldn''t care even if they had to sacrifice their entire clan for a chance to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    "Kun Yun, don''t overestimate yourself!" Zhao Feng said in a cold tone. Although Kun Yun had played a crucial role for Zhao Feng and the Hall of Gods recently, Zhao Feng already repaid him. If Kun Yun needed Zhao Feng''s help to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, Zhao Feng would help him, but if Kun Yun wanted to threaten Zhao Feng, he was being too naive. With Zhao Feng''s current strength, he wasn''t scared of Kun Yun.


    "Zhao Feng, me becoming stronger will help both you and the Hall of Gods!" Kun Yun continued speaking. Although the Hall of Gods was calm right now, almost all the big forces in the continent zone right now could sense that the Grand Imperial Hall wouldn''t just keep one eye closed for much longer.


    "I do have those resources, but that is one of my hidden cards!" Zhao Feng suddenly stood up and released a surge of terrifying aura that pressured Heaven and Earth nearby.


    Zhao Feng had been in seclusion for several months after the fight with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and all of his aspects had strengthened. Amongst them, his Soul Intent and Sacred Lightning Body were the most obvious. In terms of comprehension, Zhao Feng had the fruits, and he also had countless resources for his lifeforce and body. Furthermore, the God blood in his finger was also strengthening Zhao Feng''s body.


    Zhao Feng''s intentions were also rather clear. Since he had resources that could move the hearts of all Sacred Kings and Demigods, he would have a huge group of helpers if he used his resources wisely. At that point, there would be many people who would want to help Zhao Feng, so he wouldn''t need Kun Yun anymore. Of course, Zhao Feng didn''t want to reveal everything unless he had to.


    What a strong body¡­! Kun Yun was secretly shocked. At this moment, even he felt pressured by Zhao Feng''s physical body.


    Although Zhao Feng''s body-strengthening technique was more profound than Kun Yun''s, Kun Yun had revived from blood and had the experience of his previous life, so his cultivation speed was extremely fast. From the looks of it though, the stage of Zhao Feng''s body-strengthening was on par with Kun Yun, but since Zhao Feng''s body-strengthening technique was more profound, Zhao Feng''s body was slightly stronger than Kun Yun''s.


    What made it even scarier for Kun Yun was that he felt that Zhao Feng''s Intent wasn''t any weaker than his own.


    Zhao Feng can fight me even without his eye-bloodline now! Kun Yun was stunned and frustrated at the same time. He was a revived Demigod, but he was worse than someone who was only a King in his previous life. When thinking up to there, Kun Yun felt that he had lost all his face.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng returned to his hall.


    "Kun Yun is most likely preparing to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm or else he would have already recovered to the level of a Demigod by using what he obtained in the God corpse," Zhao Feng murmured.


    Kun Yun had purposely reduced his cultivation speed in order to consolidate his strength and try to break through in the strongest manner possible. Therefore, Zhao Feng also gave up on increasing his cultivation speed and chose to consolidate.


    Zhao Feng continued to cultivate with the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique, but this time, he put more of his focus on the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. According to what Kun Yun said, the most difficult part to breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm was the True God Lightning Tribulation.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng put the Lightning God Crystal into his God Eye Dimension.


    "Zhao Feng actually has a God Crystal that contains the power of God Tribulation Lightning!?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression turned to shock. With this Lightning God Crystal, Zhao Feng''s chances of breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm increased by at least 20%.


    Zhao Feng used part of his focus to absorb and comprehend the power of God Tribulation Lightning from the Lightning God Crystal. At the same time, Zhao Feng fully activated the God Tribulation Lightning symbols in his Lightning Soul Body to refine his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Weng~~~


    More than four thousand and five hundred God Tribulation Lightning symbols flashed in his Lightning Soul Body, giving off an immortal and undying power of God Tribulation Lightning. Zhao Feng''s mental energy quickly grasped control of this power and used it on the Sacred Lightning Body.


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was extremely resilient to the power of lightning, but the power of God Tribulation Lightning was different. It contained the laws of Destruction and caused devastating damage to everything. Therefore, even though Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body had reached the peak stages of the 6th level, it was still unable to withstand the power of God Tribulation Lightning refining his body.


    In just a couple breaths'' time, black scorch marks appeared on Zhao Feng''s body.


    "I''ll rest for a while, then continue!"


    Zhao Feng was surprised, and he immediately stopped. He used some resources to recover his lifeforce and injuries, and his Undying Sacred Lightning Body also started to recover.


    There was a limit to using the power of God Tribulation Lightning to refine the Sacred Lightning Body. If it was exceeded, then it was the same as harming oneself.


    Half a year passed by in a flash.


    Within the Misty Spatial World:


    Weng~~ Shu!


    Thin crackles of lightning ran around Zhao Feng''s dark golden body. Everything within several yards of Zhao Feng had been destroyed by this God Tribulation Lightning aura and couldn''t be recovered.


    Over the last half a year, Zhao Feng''s main focus was the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. He kept on using the power of God Tribulation Lightning to refine his Sacred Lightning Body, which meant that the resilience of Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body against the power of God Tribulation Lightning had increased, and it also contained the element of God Tribulation Lightning now. To a certain degree, the battle techniques related to the Sacred Lightning Body had all been strengthened as well.


    "Lightning Soul Body¡­ Tribulation Lightning Sacred Body!"


    Zhao Feng''s mind shook as joy filled his face. All he needed to do now was progress down these two paths, and his chances of breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm in the future would increase by at least 40%.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the dimension of his left eye.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng unleashed a soul attack against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, then formed a Dark Heart Seal and tried to imprint it in the depths of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s soul.


    "It''s useless, Zhao Feng. Your weak Soul Intent and rough secret technique can''t enslave me!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon fought back, but in reality, its heart was already starting to move.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had witnessed many of Zhao Feng''s hidden cards and precious resources in this dimension. Even if the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon managed to escape, it wouldn''t dare to take revenge on Zhao Feng unless it managed to recover to its peak strength.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, my patience is limited!" Zhao Feng left the God Eye Dimension with a cold expression.


    He had tried many times to enslave the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon while he was in seclusion, but they all ended in failure. Zhao Feng decided that, if the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t bow before he tried to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, he would just kill it. After all, Zhao Feng might fail and disappear, so leaving the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon behind would only cause disaster.


    Boom!


    Terrifying Heaven Earth Yuan Qi formed purple light around the area where Zhao Yufei was in seclusion. This shocking scenery instantly caught the attention of many upper echelon members of the Hall of Gods, and they scanned in that direction with their Divine Sense.


    "Yufei still hasn''t exited seclusion?" Zhao Feng was surprised after scanning with his Divine Sense.


    Zhao Yufei had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race. Logically speaking, none of her aspects should be any weaker than Nan Gongsheng, Kun Yun, or Zhao Feng, but since her bloodline purity was limited, she didn''t stand out amongst them. However, Zhao Feng believed that Zhao Yufei''s strength must have increased dramatically after this period of seclusion.


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng''s senses moved, and he suddenly turned his head toward a certain direction and looked into the distance.


    Hu!


    An invisible power of draconic providence started to gather toward the Hall of Gods. Winds and clouds blew in the sky as the magnificent aura caused the hearts of all experts in the Hall of Gods to shake.


    "It''s the imperials!"


    "The Grand Imperial Hall has finally come!"


    The upper echelon members of the Hall of Gods instantly moved their attention away from Zhao Yufei.


    "Demigod Dragon Emperor!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused on a golden figure several dozen thousand miles away.


    Hu!


    In just an instant, Demigod Dragon Emperor led the other members of the Grand Imperial Hall and appeared in the air above the Hall of Gods. A terrifying draconic providence descended onto Heaven and Earth, and all Intents and powers seemed to freeze.


    "Welcome, Senior Dragon Emperor from the Grand Imperial Hall!" Zhao Feng bowed slightly and said respectfully. He then scanned over the other members of the Grand Imperial Hall; apart from Demigod Dragon Emperor, there was also Demigod Taichi, Sacred King Feather Spirit, and another Sacred King expert in phoenix robes who had come from the Grand Imperial Hall.


    "En!" Demigod Dragon Emperor replied as his gaze landed on where Zhao Yufei was in seclusion for a short moment.


    Shua!


    In the next instant, Demigod Dragon Emperor and the other members appeared in the hall where Zhao Feng was in.


    The members of the Grand Imperial Hall all radiated a strong surge of draconic providence, but no one knew if this was intentional or not.


    "Is there a reason why the Grand Elder of the Grand Imperial Hall has come here?" Zhao Feng smiled faintly with a normal expression. His aura was extremely steady.


    The hearts of the four from the Grand Imperial Hall moved slightly as they inspected Zhao Feng closely. It was hard to imagine that a measly late-stage Mystic Light Realm was able to act so nonchalantly against the pressure of two Demigods and two Sacred Kings.


    "Zhao Feng, the lord dynasty was going to reward the Hall of Gods for destroying Nine Darkness Palace, who colluded with the non-humans recently¡­." Demigod Dragon Emperor first told Zhao Feng their perspective on destroying Nine Darkness Palace. After all, Zhao Feng''s actions helped the Great Gan Lord Dynasty get rid of a big danger, at least on the surface.


    "That''s simply what we should''ve done!" Zhao Feng replied respectfully to Demigod Dragon Emperor.


    "Zhao Feng, did you kill Sacred King Samsara?" At this moment, Demigod Taichi spoke with a cold gaze. In the God corpse, Zhao Feng had resisted Demigod Taichi, so he disliked Zhao Feng.


    "That''s right. We had some personal problems!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly but didn''t elaborate.


    "Zhao Feng, the Grand Imperial Hall is here this time for Sacred King Samsara''s technique that can gather the power of the Eight Great God Eye descendants!" Demigod Dragon Emperor continued and told Zhao Feng why they were truly here.


    "That secret technique is too shocking and should be given to the Grand Imperial Hall to take care of. If it''s accidentally given to the non-humans, it might cause another war between the two lord dynasties, which will be a disaster for everyone," Demigod Taichi said righteously. "So, the Grand Imperial Hall wishes for you to hand over the secret technique!"

 1137 Spiritual Race True God

    Chapter 1137 - Spiritual Race True God


    "So, the Grand Imperial Hall wishes for you to hand over the secret technique!" Demigod Taichi said righteously. This was the true goal of the Grand Imperial Hall. Whatever else they said could basically be ignored.


    Sacred King Samsara''s secret technique was just too terrifying. Even a True God expert couldn''t block it. Zhao Feng had already enslaved the owner of the Eyes of Myriad Forms, and the Hall of Gods had someone that had one Eye of Death.


    It was impossible for the Grand Imperial Hall to just leave such a big threat alone. Although the Grand Imperial Hall didn''t have any God Eye descendants, if they were able to obtain this secret technique, they might be able to find another way to use it, or they could also search for God Eye descendants in the lord dynasty. All in all, the Grand Imperial Hall had come this time for themselves so that they could maintain absolute dominance in the continent zone.


    Since the Hall of Gods currently had only two God Eye descendants, they couldn''t use Sacred King Samsara''s secret technique. Besides, even if the Hall of Gods had a thousand or ten thousand more years, they wouldn''t be a match for the Grand Imperial Hall, so those from the Grand Imperial Hall all believed that the Hall of Gods would hand it over.


    "Sorry, Sacred King Samsara self-destructed, and even his interspatial dimension was destroyed!" Zhao Feng replied, and this was indeed the case.


    The expressions of the four from the Grand Imperial Hall became cold. Even Demigod Dragon Emperor gave a deep glance at Zhao Feng, and he seemed to become unhappy; he personally came to the Hall of Gods, but Zhao Feng didn''t give them any face at all and wasn''t willing to hand over the secret technique.


    "Zhao Feng, this secret technique is very precious; the Grand Imperial Hall knows this. We won''t take something from the Hall of Gods for nothing. The Grand Imperial Hall will give something in return, and the Hall of Gods will be protected by the Grand Imperial Hall in the future¡­." The Sacred King wearing a phoenix robe spoke slowly.


    The Grand Imperial Hall had come with some preparations in mind. Demigod Taichi and this female were a duo ¨C the first acted tough while the other acted soft.


    "This junior really didn''t obtain Sacred King Samsara''s secret technique!" Zhao Feng sighed and continued to explain, but the expressions of the four from the Grand Imperial Hall became even uglier.


    Demigod Dragon Emperor and the phoenix-robed Sacred King were even thinking about whether Zhao Feng already had three God Eye descendants. Otherwise, why would he not give any face to the Grand Imperial Hall?


    "Hmph, Zhao Feng, are you thinking of doing something bad to the Great Gan Lord Dynasty by keeping this secret technique?" Demigod Taichi became enraged. He was declined by Zhao Feng last time in the God corpse when he asked for the God blood, and now Zhao Feng dared to reject Demigod Dragon Emperor and the entire Grand Imperial Hall!


    Demigod Taichi was already laughing coldly in his heart. He looked at Zhao Feng as if he was looking at a dead body.


    "I already said that I don''t have the secret technique. What are Demigod Taichi''s intentions in blaming us?" Zhao Feng''s expression became solemn, and his tone started to change. He realized that, the kinder he acted, the fiercer the opposing party acted.


    "We shall see if that''s true after I personally search for it!" Demigod Taichi''s mouth curled upwards into a deadly smile. Demigod Taichi''s "search" meant searching Zhao Feng''s soul.


    On the side, Demigod Dragon Emperor was silent. It was obvious that he agreed to Demigod Taichi''s actions.


    "Search? What right do you have to search anything in the Hall of Gods!?" Zhao Feng''s tone was cold, and he spoke every word with a pause.


    At this moment, although the Hall of Gods wasn''t the Grand Imperial Hall''s match, only four people from the Grand Imperial Hall had come. The Hall of Gods didn''t need to be scared to such a degree.


    "You¡­!" Demigod Taichi''s expression froze before becoming enraged again, and he released his Demigod Intent, which merged into space.


    At this moment, Demigod Taichi was putting pressure on Zhao Feng and didn''t hold back at all. If it was a normal late-stage Mystic Light Realm, they would probably be unable to withstand even a moment against the Intent of a Demigod and would utterly crumble.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng harrumphed coldly as small crackles of white lightning flashed around his skin.


    Shu~~


    A surge of Destructive lightning aura destroyed Demigod Taichi''s Intent when it descended around Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was covered in thin crackles of lightning, and Demigod Taichi''s Intent was unable to even approach Zhao Feng''s body to cause any effect at all.


    The four from the Grand Imperial Hall were shocked. They knew this power of lightning ¨C it was the power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    At the same time, two powerful auras appeared elsewhere in the Hall of Gods. Kun Yun and Nan Gongsheng were summoned by Zhao Feng and appeared in this secret hall.


    At this point in time, Nan Gongsheng had purple-and-blood-colored hair. He had a cold and cruel expression and radiated a bloodthirsty killing intent. Kun Yun wasn''t simple either; although he was still just a Sacred King, even normal Demigods wouldn''t be his match.


    "If there''s nothing else to discuss, Senior Dragon Emperor can go back now!" Zhao Feng suddenly stood up and said. There was nothing they could do apart from offending the Grand Imperial Hall, but that wasn''t enough for the Hall of Gods to be destroyed. The Hall of Gods wasn''t a small force anymore; it was the number one force below the two four-star powers!


    On the side, Kun Yun''s heart tightened. He didn''t think that the relationship between Zhao Feng and the Grand Imperial Hall had reached such a bad level, but he soon relaxed after remembering the resources that Zhao Feng had and how he could easily get other forces in the lord dynasty to join him.


    The expressions of the four from the Grand Imperial Hall were extremely ugly. The Hall of Gods, which was only just created recently, dared to go against a four-star power of the lord dynasty that had existed for hundreds of millions of years? If it wasn''t for the fact that the Grand Imperial Hall was still worried about the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty, they might have already used forceful methods against the Hall of Gods.


    "Zhao Feng, the ruler of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty is the Grand Imperial Hall!" Demigod Dragon Emperor spoke at this moment and released a surge of power in every direction. Being the strongest force in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, the Grand Imperial Hall couldn''t allow the momentum of the Hall of Gods to suppress them.


    Even if Zhao Feng had helpers like Nan Gongsheng and Kun Yun, Demigod Dragon Emperor didn''t put them in his eyes because he was the strongest Demigod of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty!


    At this instant, it was obvious that Demigod Dragon Emperor was relatively angry. The atmosphere within the hall was extremely tense, and even the air itself seemed to freeze. The aura of Magnificent Power and draconic providence in Heaven and Earth started to rapidly rise.


    However, right at this instant:


    Boom!


    Heaven and Earth suddenly shook as a terrifying storm of power appeared. All the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within several dozen thousand miles was instantly sucked over.


    This sudden change made Zhao Feng, Kun Yun, Demigod Dragon Emperor, and everyone else in the hall looked over.


    Hua!


    The air itself suddenly ripped apart and formed a bottomless hole.


    Hu~ Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Surges of terrifying power blew out from the spatial cracks next to the hole.


    "Tell everyone to retreat!" Zhao Feng immediately gave the order to Bi Qingyue.


    Luckily, this hole had appeared very far away in the sky, or else the Hall of Gods would have been destroyed.


    "This¡­!" Even Demigod Dragon Emperor had a solemn expression.


    "Yufei!" Zhao Feng looked toward where Zhao Yufei was in seclusion. Zhao Feng tried to interrupt her with his Intent, but Zhao Yufei had no reaction.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and those from the Grand Imperial Hall retreated several thousand miles, but even then, they felt as if their bloodlines and power were completely suppressed. It was hard for them to even breathe.


    Boom!


    A heart-shaking forbidden Divine Power suddenly descended.


    Hu~~


    Two figures walked out from the hole. One of them was a young male. He had a slightly childish face, but his appearance could make even females jealous, and a disdainful and arrogant look could be seen from his eyebrows. Next to him was an elder with a faint aura.


    The two shared one common trait ¨C their bodies were crystal, transparent, and glittered with a glass-like light.


    The sky itself shook when these two appeared in Heaven and Earth, as if it was going to crumble.


    "True Gods from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!" Demigod Dragon Emperor''s heart was shocked. His senses told him that the strength of the elder was even stronger than True God Tian Fa.


    "Descension of True Gods!" Zhao Feng''s expression became ugly. More True Gods had come from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods within such a short amount of time!


    "Could they be here for True God Tian Fa?" Demigod Taichi''s expression turned to panic.


    "Yuan Long, change your bloodline and body so that it suits the Yuan Qi structure here!" the elder said to the young person.


    "Understood!" The young male closed his eyes, and a crystal glow flowed across his body. The tremors in the sky soon started to calm down.


    "This is¡­ the Spiritual Race bloodline!" Zhao Feng had known Zhao Yufei for a long time and immediately sensed it when the male released a wisp of his bloodline aura.


    "Could these people be here for Yufei?" Zhao Feng guessed in his heart.


    "Master, the descendant of someone with the Spiritual Race bloodline is right there!" Yuan Long pointed toward where Zhao Yufei was in seclusion.


    Zhao Feng and those from the Grand Imperial Hall several thousand miles away were completely ignored by this elder and junior.


    "En!" The elder looked in Zhao Yufei''s direction and pointed out.


    Whoosh!


    A mysterious light shone on Zhao Yufei''s body.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    Zhao Yufei''s body instantly released a peerless ancient bloodline aura.


    "She broke through!" Kun Yun''s expression froze, and he took a deep breath when he felt Zhao Yufei''s cultivation.


    "What kind of power is this¡­!?" Demigod Dragon Emperor was also stunned. This mysterious elder just pointed out with one finger, and Zhao Yufei suddenly managed to become a Sacred King.


    At this moment, Zhao Yufei opened her bright eyes and looked at the two in the sky as she seemed to sense something.


    "Child, come back to the Ancient Spiritual Race. That is where you belong!" The elder''s voice resounded across Heaven and Earth.


    "Ancient Spiritual Race¡­ Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!?" Zhao Yufei''s expression changed dramatically. It was obvious that she knew a bit about the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods as well.


    According to her bloodline, these two were probably experts from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods with the Spiritual Race bloodline, and they had come to this dimension to take her back to the Ancient Spiritual Race!


    A warm sensation appeared from Zhao Yufei''s bloodline as if it really wanted to go to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and return to the Ancient Spiritual Race.


    Kun Yun and those from the Grand Imperial Hall became full of envy and jealousy. They didn''t expect that these two True Gods from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had come to take Zhao Yufei. With Zhao Yufei''s bloodline, she would be able to become a God straight away if they entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "I don''t want to go right now!" Zhao Yufei hesitated for a while before replying. She then turned toward Zhao Feng and looked at him with love and hesitation. It was obvious that Zhao Yufei really wanted to go to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "What!?" Kun Yun was speechless, and those from the Grand Imperial Hall froze and became dazed. None of them expected Zhao Yufei to reject the invitation of a True God from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Zhao Yufei rejected such heaven-defying fortune!? One had to know that it had been several dozen millennia since the last person from the continent zone managed to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm!


    "What, you¡­!" Yuan Long''s expression changed dramatically in disbelief. This female from this weak dimension had rejected his master!?


    The elder''s expression changed slightly as his gaze landed on Zhao Feng. He could obviously tell that Zhao Yufei had rejected him because of this male.


    So strong! In an instant, Zhao Feng felt that, apart from his God''s Spiritual Eye, the elder saw through his entire body.


    "Hmm?" The elder''s gaze landed on Zhao Feng''s left eye, and he was surprised.


    "Human, you can come with us to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods as well!" the elder said with a faint smile.

 1138 Calming Down

    Chapter 1138 - Calming Down


    "Human, you can come with us to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods as well!" the elder said with a faint smile.


    Upon closer inspection, he realized that the aura of Ancient Origin within Zhao Feng''s body was extremely rich. Zhao Feng had a strong foundation and was actually slightly stronger than some people of the same cultivation in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. From his point of view, Zhao Feng''s only flaw was that his bloodline was too weak, but Zhao Feng had a unique Soul Body that made up for this flaw. What surprised this Spiritual Race elder even more was that he couldn''t see through Zhao Feng''s eye.


    "What¡­?"


    Those next to Zhao Feng and even Zhao Feng himself were dazed.


    "Zhao Feng''s luck is too good!" Kun Yun couldn''t believe that an elder from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods would say something like this. Entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was a legend for everyone in the continent zone, but for this elder of the Spiritual Race, it was as if entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was a very small matter.


    Everyone looked at Zhao Feng with envy and jealousy. In particular, Demigod Taichi''s heart was extremely chaotic. His hatred for Zhao Feng was very strong, and he wished to kill Zhao Feng. With Zhao Feng''s talent, if he entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, his future would be immeasurable.


    At this moment, apart from Zhao Feng, everyone was thinking about begging this elder to take them to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods as well, but they didn''t dare to say anything at all.


    "Master!" Yuan Long was also surprised. What was the point of bringing a normal human from this weak dimension who didn''t have an ancient bloodline to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei was overjoyed and revealed a smile that could make any male''s heart move, but when she looked at Zhao Feng, she realized that Zhao Feng didn''t seem to be very happy. Zhao Yufei immediately understood. She hadn''t thought it through; she was being selfish.


    "Yufei, you should go with Senior!" Zhao Feng was silent for a moment before speaking to Zhao Yufei in an apologetic tone.


    If Zhao Feng was selfish and went to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, then the Hall of Gods that he had raised up would be taken over by the Grand Imperial Hall, and the Grand Imperial Hall wouldn''t let go of anyone related to him. There were also many forces in the lord dynasty that were deeply connected to the Hall of Gods, and once Zhao Feng left, disaster would befall them as well.


    Furthermore, Zhao Feng had created the Hall of Gods for another reason ¨C to completely control the Nanlin Sea. Only then would he be able to completely protect his hometown, the Azure Flower Continent.


    "What? Zhao Feng actually¡­" Sacred King Feather Spirit''s expression turned to shock as he stared at Zhao Feng. He was suspicious that he had heard wrong.


    "This brat knows that the Grand Imperial Hall will definitely trouble the Hall of Gods, but he still chose to remain behind¡­." Demigod Dragon Emperor was puzzled as well as shocked. Who would remain behind and choose to face danger when they could escape, especially to some place better?


    Kun Yun and Nan Gongsheng also looked at Zhao Feng in shock.


    "Hmm?" Yuan Long was surprised. He didn''t expect a human from this weak dimension to reject his master''s invitation. It was the same as a hobo rejecting a rich meal. Yuan Long revealed a smile of mockery. From his perspective, Zhao Feng''s actions were extremely dumb, and there was no medicine that could save him from that.


    "Brother Feng, I''ll wait for you in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!" Zhao Yufei wiped the wetness from the corner of her eyes and looked deeply at Zhao Feng. She had already foreseen that Zhao Feng would make this decision.


    "Senior, I''m extremely sorry. This junior still has some things to take care of here!" Zhao Feng bowed respectfully toward this elder of the Spiritual Race and placed great emphasis on the last few words. Zhao Feng then looked at those from the Grand Imperial Hall after raising his head.


    The two from the Spiritual Race and Zhao Yufei also instantly looked at Demigod Dragon Emperor and company. The bodies of these four from the Grand Imperial Hall shook, and cold sweat poured from their foreheads as the fear of death spread through their bodies.


    Experts from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods viewed beings not from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods as ants and wouldn''t care whether they lived or not. At this moment, two experts from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had come for Zhao Yufei. As long as Zhao Yufei spoke, these four would definitely be killed.


    "Zhao Feng, if you have anything you need, the Grand Imperial Hall will help you as much as we can!" Demigod Dragon Emperor squeezed out a kind smile and pretended that he had a good relationship with Zhao Feng. The other three ¨C even Demigod Taichi and Sacred King Feather Spirit, who hated Zhao Feng''s guts ¨C also squeezed out smiles and tried to get on Zhao Feng''s good side.


    "Hmph!" In the sky, Yuan Long harrumphed coldly in disdain and extended a white crystalline arm.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    Heaven and Earth shook as a terrifying Intent instantly gained control over the nearby space. The area around the four Grand Imperial Hall members seemed to freeze. Even Demigod Dragon Emperor was unable to move, and he couldn''t even release his Divine Sense.


    In an instant, everything within their bodies started to crystallize. Even space itself started to crystallize around them! If this continued, everything in range would become blocks of crystal.


    "Such terrifying power, this person¡­!" Demigod Dragon Emperor''s heart jumped, and he was utterly shocked. This person named Yuan Long was much stronger than True God Tian Fa!


    However, this was reasonable; Yuan Long had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race, which was ranked 19th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. He was a shining prodigy even in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. It was hard to imagine what kind of cultivation his master had.


    A sense of life-and-death danger they had never felt before covered the four from the Grand Imperial Hall.


    "Yuan Long, let''s go!" The elder faintly looked over them as if he was looking at an ant or a drop of water. He didn''t care at all.


    "Zezeze, okay!" Yuan Long put down his arm with a laugh.


    Boom! Peng!


    The crystallized dimension instantly shattered, and countless shards of crystal floated in the air.


    "Thank you for not killing me, Senior!" Demigod Dragon Emperor knelt on the ground and said in fear.


    Plop!


    Sacred King Feather Spirit and the phoenix-robed Sacred King had fallen to the ground next to the two Demigods. There were no signs of any aura from them.


    Demigod Taichi''s eyes shook as he looked in shock at the two Sacred Kings next to him that had died. If Yuan Long had stopped just a moment later, he might have turned out like that too.


    Nan Gongsheng''s and Kun Yun''s hair stood on end as they looked at the two Spiritual Race members in fear and respect.


    In the sky, the elder''s body revealed a dazzling divine light that covered Yuan Long and Zhao Yufei.


    Weng~~~


    A faint disturbance came from the very center of the Fan Universe.


    Weng!


    A unique spatial undulation appeared around the trio.


    "Brother Feng, do what you need to do quickly!" Zhao Yufei bit her lips, and her eyelashes fluttered as her eyes became watery.


    Shua!


    The trio''s figures started to fade with the unique undulation of space until they completely disappeared. Heaven and Earth started to calm down after the experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and Zhao Yufei left.


    "Let''s go!" Demigod Dragon Emperor said in a deep tone before taking the bodies of the two Sacred Kings and leaving the Hall of Gods. Demigod Taichi glared at Zhao Feng before turning into a streak of white light and disappearing into the sky.


    "They can come back now!" Zhao Feng messaged Bi Qingyue. Luckily, he had told the other members of the Hall of Gods to retreat before the experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods arrived. Otherwise, the members with lower cultivations might have been crushed by the aura of two True Gods.


    The Hall of Gods returned to normal a day later, and news of this incident quickly spread across the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. The Demigods of the Grand Imperial Hall that had gone to the Hall of Gods returned with heavy injuries, including Demigod Dragon Emperor. Sacred King Feather Spirit and Sacred King Phoenix Righteousness had died.


    This result shocked the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty. None of the forces in the lord dynasty doubted the truth of this, but then another piece of news soon spread as well; experts of the Spiritual Race from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had appeared in the Hall of Gods and took Zhao Yufei away. Before they left, they severely injured the Demigods and killed the two Sacred Kings from the Grand Imperial Hall.


    This news completely stunned the lord dynasty. In just a few short years'' time, more experts from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had appeared. This made all the Demigods in the continent zone become even crazier about breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    "Bi Qingyue, quickly train all the talented disciples to the Mystic Light Realm and put all focus on them!" Zhao Feng messaged Bi Qingyue. He then took out some substandard God crystals, resources from the Ancient Dream Realm, and other items, then handed them to Bi Qingyue.


    "The Grand Imperial Hall shouldn''t take any action for a while!" Zhao Feng guessed in his heart as he entered seclusion in the Misty Spatial World.


    The experts from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had invigorated him as well. Zhao Feng wanted to go to the legendary Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and see what kind of place it was. He wanted to witness the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and see the legendary Eight Great God Eyes!


    "I need to put in more effort or else Yufei will get too far ahead of me!" Zhao Feng smiled helplessly.


    Zhao Yufei''s bloodline would become even purer after going to the Ancient Spiritual Race in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. At that point, the cultivation speed of the Spiritual Race would be fully displayed, and with Zhao Yufei''s talent, she would be able to become a Rank Three God at the least!


    Weng~~


    Strong power of God Tribulation Lightning radiated from Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body. Countless crackles of white lightning roared on Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body and destroyed everything around him.


    Right now, Zhao Feng''s main focus was to use the power of God Tribulation Lightning to refine his Sacred Lightning Body. Of course, while refining his Sacred Lightning Body with the God Tribulation Lightning, Zhao Feng was still using many thoughts to cultivate other aspects.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng started resting for a while. He ate many precious resources to recover his injuries, but he never stopped cultivating. While resting, he changed his focus to comprehending the different Intents.


    Whoosh!


    The three vine fruits appeared before Zhao Feng, and a thick Intent covered Zhao Feng.


    Whenever his understanding of the Intents reached a bottleneck, Zhao Feng turned his focus back to refining his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Since he had repetitively used his various resources, their effects started to weaken, so Zhao Feng would also occasionally enter the Ancient Dream Realm and continue scouting around. He would increase the number of his spiritual pets and expand his territory.


    "Sky Lightning Hell Refined Grass, Evil Swamp Earth Crystal Rock, Heaven Wind Jade Bamboo¡­"


    Even more precious resources from the Ancient Dream Realm floated in front of Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body to absorb the energy from these herbs.


    Zhao Feng spent a year in seclusion. In this period of time, Zhao Feng didn''t think about increasing his cultivation ¨C he chose to consolidate it instead!


    One day, Zhao Feng entered the God Eye Dimension and prepared to duplicate some ancient resources he needed.


    "Zhao Feng, I want to speak with you!" At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon spoke from a corner in the dimension.

 1139 Taming the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon

    Chapter 1139 - Taming the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon


    "Zhao Feng, I want to speak with you!" At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon spoke from a corner in the dimension.


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness paused slightly as he looked at the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. Over the past year, Zhao Feng didn''t try to use the Dark Heart Seal very often, he only gave the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon a beating whenever he entered the God Eye Dimension.


    "You''re willing to be my steed now?" Zhao Feng asked.


    Hearing the word "steed," the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression instantly became ugly and deadly.


    "I have my requirements!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon struggled for a while before sighing and speaking in a very humiliated tone.


    "I''m willing to serve you, but you have to supply a large amount of resources to help me recover to my peak strength and not purposely harm my life!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon told Zhao Feng its requirements, and it was worried that Zhao Feng wouldn''t agree.


    Its recovery ability was limited when trapped in this dimension, and Zhao Feng would be able to easily kill it after his strength increased to a certain level. After all, Zhao Feng originally planned on killing the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and only had the idea of enslaving it after realizing that he couldn''t kill it.


    Now that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had witnessed Zhao Feng''s secrets, it knew the chances of Zhao Feng being able to kill it were very high. Since Zhao Feng hadn''t tried to enslave it recently, it was extremely worried and thought that Zhao Feng had already decided on killing it.


    In addition, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s requirements weren''t simple. Because it had a faint wisp of the Destruction Dragon Race bloodline, all its aspects and abilities were very high-level. An enormous amount of resources would be needed to recover its strength or else the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would have become a True God again long ago, and no one in the continent zone would be its match!


    "All the wealth of a God might not be enough for you to recover to your peak strength!" Zhao Feng rolled his eyes at the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. It certainly had lofty dreams.


    Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would be more useful to Zhao Feng the stronger it was, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was a powerful True God at its peak. If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s strength surpassed Zhao Feng by too much, it would definitely be able to escape from Zhao Feng''s control.


    "No matter what, my cultivation can''t be lower than yours!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon took a step back.


    From the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s point of view, since Zhao Feng might have the Ninth God''s Eye, he would probably encounter a lot of trouble in the future. Zhao Feng would definitely want to help recover the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s strength due to the dangers ahead. Besides, if Zhao Feng''s eye really had the potential to become the Ninth God''s Eye, then the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had nothing else to say; it would be willing to serve Zhao Feng for all eternity.


    "That''s better!" Zhao Feng immediately agreed. What would be the point of having the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon if its cultivation was lower than his?


    The two sides came to an agreement and signed a blood contract. After signing the blood contract, Zhao Feng also forced the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon to let him imprint a Dark Heart Seal.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng released the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon only had the aura of a normal Sacred Lord, and its injuries were severe.


    "Increase your cultivation to the level of a Sacred King first!" Zhao Feng gave some of the resources in the Misty Spatial World to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Thank you¡­ Master!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said in a weird tone.


    "Master, when are we going to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon asked before it left.


    "When I become a God, of course!" Zhao Feng paused before saying somewhat speechlessly.


    With Zhao Feng''s abilities, he could try to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm within twenty years and then enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. If he wanted to minimize the risks and consolidate his strength, it might take him thirty years.


    "Master, why don''t you break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm after entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon asked curiously. The center of the Fan Universe was the origin of all things ¨C physical items, soul items, illusions, and more. The chances of breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm were higher, and one would have more potential.


    "One can reach the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods without breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm and without relying on any outside powers?" Zhao Feng was shocked. Although he was incredulous, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon might indeed have some special methods.


    "Others might not, but Master definitely can!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed a deep smile and spoke in a certain tone.


    "Can Master sense the existence of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon asked.


    Zhao Feng''s expression was slightly grim. He had indeed felt a mysterious place connect with his soul recently, but the connection was very blurry. How did the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon know this?


    "Master, you should know that the important thing in reaching the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods is the aura of the Ancient Desolate Origin. One will only be able to obtain this aura when experiencing the True God Lightning Tribulation. Only then can one sense the existence of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and enter it!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a slightly smug expression as it explained to Zhao Feng.


    "In other words, one doesn''t need to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm; as long as one has enough aura of Ancient Desolate Origin, they can enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. However, this dimension is too weak, so the only way to obtain the aura of Ancient Desolate Origin for the beings here is the True God Lightning Tribulation!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said proudly.


    If one was located in a dimension closer to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, they would be able to absorb the aura of Ancient Desolate Origin radiating from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and go there before breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm. This would increase their chances of breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm in the future, and they could even surpass Rank One Gods when they broke through.


    "That''s possible?" Zhao Feng was shocked, but it was very simple logic. Everyone in the continent zone had formed a notion that only those who broke through to the Heavenly Divine Realm could enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but that was only because this dimension was too low-grade and the beings here were too weak.


    "Master''s body should already contain a plentiful amount of aura of the Ancient Desolate Origin, right?"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had seen Zhao Feng duplicate many precious resources of the Ancient Era when it was in the God Eye Dimension. Most of these resources contained a wisp of aura of the Ancient Desolate Origin, so the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was sure that Zhao Feng''s body already contained a thick amount of aura of Ancient Desolate Origin.


    After explaining everything, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon flew to the side and used the resources that Zhao Feng had given it to recover its strength.


    In reality, the main reason the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had stayed in this weak dimension for so long was because it wanted to destroy this dimension and quickly recover its strength. Now that it couldn''t destroy this dimension, it would be better to just follow Zhao Feng and go to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods as soon as possible, which was why it told Zhao Feng all of that information.


    Zhao Feng was still in shock.


    "This means that I can head to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods as soon as everything''s settled here!" Zhao Feng was extremely excited. Like the other Demigods of the continent zone, Zhao Feng also wished to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but since he had too many things to do here still, he rejected the elder from the Spiritual Race.


    "Master, I need to warn you; if you want to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, your state of existence should be at least at the level of a Demigod!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly remembered something and added.


    Since this place was so far away from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, if one''s state of existence was too weak, they wouldn''t be able to withstand the pressure of the spatial undulations required to travel there.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had forgotten about this point earlier. If Zhao Feng''s state of existence was too weak and he was unable to withstand the pressure of passing through space, Zhao Feng would die on the way to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. At that point, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would die too.


    "State of existence?" Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled.


    Now that his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body had consolidated at the peak 6th level, it could reach the absolute limit of the 6th level at any moment. The 7th level of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body corresponded to the level above Demigods.


    "There is still a bit of distance left till the 7th level of the Sacred Lightning Body. In this period of time, I can settle everything!" Zhao Feng''s mouth curled upward as he started to become slightly impatient. Luckily, he had placed importance on body-strengthening a long time ago.


    "Bi Qingyue, how is the overall strength of the Hall of Gods?" Zhao Feng asked directly.


    "Apart from Kun Yun, Nan Gongsheng, and Master, the Hall of Gods would be a three-and-a-half-stars power, but if one adds the forces in an alliance with the Hall of Gods, then the overall strength would increase by another level¡­." Bi Qingyue reported honestly, and Zhao Feng started to think.


    After taking over Nine Darkness Palace and forming an alliance with the Tie Family, Black Screen Corner, the Ji Family, and others, the Hall of Gods could be considered a four-star power, but since these allied forces were still other forces, they wouldn''t necessarily serve the Hall of Gods with all their heart.


    "Continue expanding and raise more Sacred Lords!" Zhao Feng said before entering seclusion once more.


    In reality, the expansion of the Hall of Gods over the past year had already stunned everyone, but no force in the lord dynasty stopped the Hall of Gods. Even the Grand Imperial Hall remained silent. Since that was the case, Zhao Feng didn''t care and continued to expand. The perfect situation would be for the Hall of Gods to rule over the entire continent zone.


    Zhao Feng, Zhao Wan, the little thieving cat, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon each took up their own spot within the Misty Spatial World and used an insane amount of resources to cultivate and increase their strength.


    Within half a year, Zhao Feng realized that his resources weren''t enough. A year later, Zhao Feng realized that his resources weren''t enough even with the help of his left eye''s duplication ability.


    Zhao Feng looked at the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon speechlessly. He didn''t think that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would need so many resources to recover.


    "Master, there''s nothing I can do about this. Although I used this many resources, I''m only a late-stage Sacred Lord!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave an expression as if the situation didn''t matter to it.


    Since there weren''t enough resources, Zhao Feng had to use his precious time to find more resources in the Ancient Dream Realm. Zhao Feng also needed to spend a lot of resources to train and raise his pets. He would only be able to obtain more precious resources if they were stronger.


    One day, within the Misty Spatial World, Zhao Feng''s dark yellow figure covered in lightning suddenly grew a bit taller as a terrifying Physical Force Lightning Domain spread.


    "The absolute limit of the Sacred Lightning Body''s 6th level!" Zhao Feng opened his eyes and let out a breath.


    In another corner, Zhao Wan''s progress in the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was going at lightspeed since he had the experience of Zhao Feng.


    "Master, I have recovered to the level of a Sacred King now!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said happily. It didn''t think that it would be able to recover from such heavy injuries back to the level of a Sacred King in just two years.


    At the same time, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could feel how immeasurable Zhao Feng was. Zhao Feng had been cultivating in the Misty Spatial World just like it, but he occasionally took out peerless treasures that would cause even Demigod experts to become greedy.


    Right at this moment, Bi Qingyue sent a message.


    "Master, it seems Demigod Dragon Emperor has started his breakthrough to the Heavenly Divine Realm!"


    Bi Qingyue had a solemn expression.


    Zhao Feng had always stayed in touch with Bi Qingyue while he was in seclusion, but the news that Bi Qingyue sent this time made Zhao Feng''s expression change.

 1140 Tian Fa’s Arrival

    Chapter 1140 - Tian Fa''s Arrival


    "Demigod Dragon Emperor is trying to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm?" Zhao Feng paused for a moment.


    He originally thought that the Grand Imperial Hall would take some kind of action against the Hall of Gods in the future, but Demigod Dragon Emperor was already preparing to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm and leave for the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?


    Although Zhao Feng didn''t know why the Grand Imperial Hall was able to hold in it for so long, it meant that the Hall of Gods had no obstacles stopping them anymore. They could expand as they wished and even complete Zhao Feng''s goal ¨C rule the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    Zhao Feng felt a lot more relaxed after learning this news. He gave some resources to Bi Qingyue before continuing his seclusion.


    In the dimension of his God Eye, the mysterious golden ball was duplicating a few ancient Earth-elemental resources.


    Weng~~~


    The power of God Tribulation Lightning within Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body refined his Sacred Lightning Body. At this moment, the resilience of his Sacred Lightning Body against the power of God Tribulation Lightning was very high. He could last the time it took to make a cup of tea against the power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    "Now that my Sacred Lightning Body has reached the limit of the 6th level, it''s comparable to the limit of the Mystic Light Realm. Attacks from anyone below Demigods won''t be able to injure me at all!" Zhao Feng smiled confidently.


    Since attacks from anyone below Demigods were unable to cause much damage to Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng was able to fight against normal Demigods with just his physical body alone.


    As soon as his Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body reached the 7th level, his state of existence would have reached the level of a Demigod. There wouldn''t be many who could match him in the continent zone at that point.


    However, this also meant that there would be less room for improvement in the continent zone because he had no goals here anymore. This was why Zhao Feng wanted to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods so badly!


    Apart from the dramatic strengthening in his Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng''s other aspects had also become much stronger after two years of seclusion.


    The Wind Lightning Raging Finger had been trained to the peak, and his index finger had merged with 30% of the God blood''s power. Zhao Feng was looking forward to seeing how powerful the Wind Lightning Raging Finger would be when he used it with his index finger.


    The Divine Forming Technique was another skill that Zhao Feng placed a lot of importance on. He had cultivated it to a high level as well, and the Divine Power he had stored within his body could allow him to use the Ancient God Seal almost twenty times.


    With the help of the vine fruits, Zhao Feng''s comprehension was high enough that he could try to break through to become a Sacred King, but he had suppressed this. According to what the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said, if one entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods earlier and cultivated there, they would produce better results when breaking through, so Zhao Feng wanted to become a Sacred King after entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Two years of seclusion had expended an enormous amount of resources, but the result was worth it! Zhao Feng estimated that the wealth he had spent in the past two years had exceeded the wealth of the entire Grand Imperial Hall.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had recovered to the level of a Sacred King, and its battle-power was greater than normal Demigods. If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng didn''t have many resources right now, he would continue to give the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon resources.


    Zhao Wan had consolidated his cultivation and could become a Sacred King at any moment.


    Zhao Feng didn''t really understand the little thieving cat''s situation. The little thieving cat''s cultivation had always been low. It was only due to the fact that it specialized in the Dao of Assassination, had extremely strong weapons, and a profound Intent that it could help in fights against Sacred Kings or Demigods. In a head-on fight, the little thieving cat might not even be a match for a normal Sacred King.


    After two years of cultivation, Zhao Feng couldn''t see through the little thieving cat''s cultivation anymore, but he wasn''t very surprised. The little thieving cat was always too mysterious.


    "This cat¡­!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon looked at the little thieving cat with a hint of jealousy and hatred. If it wasn''t for this cat, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wouldn''t have been defeated and captured by Zhao Feng.


    However, even with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s knowledge, it couldn''t see anything regarding the little thieving cat''s history. The little thieving cat''s cultivation was very low, but it had Divine Power and a divine weapon!


    "Not good. Zhao Feng, danger approaching!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly said at this moment. It suddenly felt a powerful ancient aura quickly approaching this place.


    "Danger?" Zhao Feng didn''t really believe it. There weren''t many people in the continent zone that could cause any damage to the Hall of Gods at this point, and it was almost impossible for those who could to come to the Hall of Gods to take action against Zhao Feng.


    However, Zhao Feng left the Misty Spatial World in half-doubt after seeing the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s surprised expression.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng appeared in a secret hall in the forbidden grounds.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense scanned around as he activated his God''s Spiritual Eye as well.


    "Hmm? This is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense didn''t sense anything, but his God''s Spiritual Eye caught sight of a dark purple beam.


    "Zhao Feng, hand over your life to me!" this figure said in disdain after seeing Zhao Feng appear.


    Weng~~ Hu!


    A terrifying ancient aura spread from his body and shook the entire Hall of Gods.


    "Who''s there?"


    "Who dares to come to the Hall of Gods!?"


    Several powerful Sacred Lord-level auras instantly rose from the Hall of Gods.


    "Stand down!" Zhao Feng roared at these Sacred Lord experts of the Hall of Gods to retreat.


    Zhao Feng had a grim expression as his gaze locked onto the black purple light. Although Zhao Feng didn''t recognize this person, he felt a familiar sensation from the opponent''s soul.


    "True God Tian Fa!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned to shock. This person was True God Tian Fa. He actually managed to survive from the devastating power that could destroy Heaven and Earth in the God corpse!


    Zhao Feng was no longer surprised at how he could enter the Hall of Gods unknowingly.


    "Hahaha, I bet you didn''t think that I would still be alive. Today, I shall take your life!" True God Tian Fa roared with laughter in his new appearance as he looked at Zhao Feng with deadly eyes. If it wasn''t for Zhao Feng''s appearance, the secret technique that combined the God Eye descendants'' power wouldn''t have changed, and he wouldn''t have been defeated.


    Although he had been busy recovering his injuries in the continent zone, he had heard of Zhao Feng''s battle records. However, if he still dared to come, it meant that he was confident in himself.


    "I indeed didn''t think that you would still be alive, but I don''t mind killing you again!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile. Through the inspection of his God''s Spiritual Eye, he realized that True God Tian Fan had recovered to the level of a Sacred King, and since he had Divine Power, he would be considered a Demigod.


    After years of seclusion, Zhao Feng''s strength had increased dramatically due to the enormous amount of resources he had used. His hands were starting to become itchy; Zhao Feng wanted to fight and test his full strength.


    "Kun Yun, Nan Gongsheng, stay in the Hall of Gods!" Zhao Feng messaged.


    Weng~~


    A pair of scarlet wings of lightning formed behind Zhao Feng''s back. Scarlet-golden light flashed as Zhao Feng left the Hall of Gods and disappeared into the sky.


    Whoosh!


    True God Tian Fan chased after Zhao Feng.


    "Do you know how high the Heavens are and how deep the Earth is? Even if my divine weapons were destroyed, killing you is extremely simple!" True God Tian Fan couldn''t help but mock Zhao Feng''s actions. With his talent, not many were his match even in the Ancient Soul Hall, and now a weak being from such a low-ranked dimension wanted to fight against him with just the cultivation of a late-stage Sacred Lord? What a joke!


    Whoosh!


    A golden spear with the head of a black dragon appeared in True God Tian Fa''s hands. This was just a peak Heaven-grade weapon because True God Tian Fa couldn''t find any divine weapons in the continent zone.


    "Get back here!" True God Tian Fa waved the black-dragon-headed golden spear.


    Shua!


    The head of a black dragon roared as it charged toward Zhao Feng.


    With True God Tian Fa''s comprehension level, this casual blow could injure Demigods and kill Sacred Kings.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng suddenly halted his figure and activated the Sacred Lightning Body as he released a forceful punch.


    Boom! Peng!


    Two terrifying surges of power clashed in the air.


    Hu~


    True God Tian Fa''s attack was blocked. A part of the remaining power landed on Zhao Feng''s body but caused no damage. However, a giant crater was created in the mountains below when the remaining wisp of power touched it. This was also the reason why Zhao Feng left the Hall of Gods.


    "Hmm? His strength¡­" True God Tian Fa instantly felt that something was wrong the instant they exchanged blows. Even though his strength had been reduced dramatically and he didn''t have a divine weapon, a late-stage Mystic Light Realm expert would find it difficult to block even a nonchalant blow from him.


    The God Tribulation Lightning within my Sacred Lightning Body has increased, and it contains a Destructive force against all attacks!


    This was Zhao Feng''s first battle after entering seclusion two years ago, and the power of his God Tribulation Lightning Sacred Body shocked him.


    "Brat, from the looks of it, you obtained a lot in the God corpse!" Greed flashed through True God Tian Fa''s eyes. How could normal late-stage Sacred Lords have such strength? Zhao Feng must have had heaven-defying fortune in the God corpse.


    Although Tian Fa was a Rank Three True God before, even he wanted the resources from the God corpse very much. After all, when Lord Wuheng was alive, he was a heaven-defying existence that he could only look up to!


    Boom!


    True God Tian Fa merged his Divine Power into the spear.


    Weng~~


    Since the weapon was only peak Heaven-grade, it was unable to withstand True God Tian Fa''s Divine Power and instantly started to tremble.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    True God Tian Fa instantly waved the spear in his hand and unleashed several black dragons.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng circulated the Fire of Wind Lightning.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm ¨C Palm of Destruction!" Zhao Feng''s body released a brilliant scarlet lightning. After merging with the power of his Sacred Body, he quickly thrust out several palms. An enormous palm of scarlet lightning crushed forward like a mountain.


    Boom! Peng! Bam!


    The two terrifying attacks instantly clashed. This time, they were on par with one another.


    "This brat''s palm technique¡­" True God Tian Fa''s expression became grim. He didn''t have an advantage even after exchanging two blows with Zhao Feng, which was extremely humiliating for him.


    "Nine Heavens Dragon Obliterating Spear!" True God Tian Fa''s expression became cold as he waved the spear in his hand and charged toward Zhao Feng. A profound Intent surrounded his body.


    "This is a battle technique that surpasses the Heaven tier!" Zhao Feng could tell that the skill True God Tian Fa used had definitely surpassed the Heaven tier from the enormous Intent. However, Zhao Feng didn''t know how techniques were ranked above the Heaven tier.


    Hu!


    A terrifying ancient bloodline Divine Power spread from Zhao Feng''s index finger. After absorbing 30% of the God Blood, Zhao Feng wanted to see how strong it was when using the Wind Lightning Raging Finger!


    "Obliterating God Finger!"


    A forceful and dominating Intent of Wind Lightning appeared around Zhao Feng''s body.


    Boom! Peng!


    Zhao Feng circulated the powerful finger technique and clashed against True God Tian Fa''s technique. At this instant, just a wisp of remnant power from the clash of these two could destroy normal three-star powers.


    "This bloodline aura belongs to Lord Wuheng!" True God Tian Fa''s expression turned to shock as he looked at Zhao Feng''s purple-and-gold finger that was radiating a terrifying desolate aura.

 1141 Powerful Retaliation

    Chapter 1141 - Powerful Retaliation


    "This bloodline aura belongs to Lord Wuheng!" True God Tian Fa''s expression turned to shock as he looked at Zhao Feng''s purple-and-gold finger that was radiating a terrifying desolate aura.


    "You idiot! You''re just wasting that drop of blood essence!" True God Tian Fa swore as he looked at Zhao Feng''s finger with greed. A drop of blood essence from the God corpse was a peerless treasure even for a True God.


    Boom! Peng! Bam!


    Zhao Feng''s index finger had merged with 30% of the God blood''s power. At this moment, when he used a technique from the Wind Lightning Raging Finger, its power was on par with True God Tian Fa''s attack.


    "From the looks of it, the effect of this drop of God blood surpasses my imagination by far!" Zhao Feng''s heart shook.


    "Zhao Feng, die! All your treasures shall be mine!" True God Tian Fa revealed a cruel killing intent. Over the past few years, he had used up all his wealth to reach the level of a Sacred King.


    Without a divine weapon, he wouldn''t be a match for the strongest Demigods of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, but killing a normal Demigod was extremely easy. He originally planned to kill Zhao Feng and leave this dimension, but Zhao Feng was far stronger than he expected. If True God Tian Fa continued to fight with Zhao Feng like this, it might attract the other Sacred Kings and Demigods of the continent zone, so True God Tian Fa decided to finish this fight as quickly as possible.


    "Sky Dragon Ambush!" True God Tian Fa''s spear suddenly created a terrifying momentum that shook Heaven and Earth.


    Boom!


    The image of a black dragon roared and charged toward Zhao Feng.


    "Earth Destroying Finger!" Zhao Feng''s finger released a powerful surge of Wind Lightning that contained a dominating Intent.


    Weng~ Shu!


    Limitless scarlet lightning formed a storm and shot out like a giant pole of Heaven.


    Boom!


    The two powers clashed.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng''s Earth Destroying Finger was destroyed by the black dragon image, and the remaining power shot toward Zhao Feng.


    "As expected of a technique that surpasses the Heaven tier!"


    Zhao Feng''s mastery of battle techniques was on par with True God Tian Fa, but the Wind Lightning Raging Finger was simply weaker in terms of ultimate moves.


    "Earth Lightning Sacred Armor!" Zhao Feng activated his Sacred Lightning Body and circulated the Earth of Wind Lightning Sacred Power.


    Weng~~~


    A dark yellow Sacred Power of Wind Lightning appeared around Zhao Feng''s body and transformed into a piece of armor that radiated an invisible force of gravity. The remaining force of True God Tian Fa''s attack was weakened by this gravity when it approached Zhao Feng and then destroyed by the God Tribulation Lightning when it landed on Zhao Feng''s body.


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body now contained the Destructive power of God Tribulation Lightning, so all his Sacred Lightning Body battle techniques were strengthened.


    "How is that possible!?" True God Tian Fa''s expression became extremely grim after the surprise passed. Normal Demigods would have been severely injured if not killed by his attack, but Zhao Feng easily took the blow and didn''t seem to be injured at all.


    True God Tian Fa had underestimated Zhao Feng''s strength and the rate of his growth. One had to know that Zhao Feng had defeated Demigod Dark Ocean three years ago. Zhao Feng would be able to easily kill Demigod Dark Ocean if they fought now. He would even be able to fight against Demigod Dragon Emperor.


    "Divine technique ¨C Dark Soul Ambush!"


    True God Tian Fa''s expression became extremely ugly as a unique power undulated in his soul. True God Tian Fa stopped being careless; since Zhao Feng''s physical defense was so strong, then he could only use soul attacks. He had to kill Zhao Feng quickly in order to make sure that the fight didn''t drag out and attract the other Demigods of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    Indeed, everything went the way True God Tian Fa expected. When Zhao Feng and True God Tian Fa started to fight, the shocking battle had attracted many intelligence-gathering cultivators. News of what was happening here was already quickly spreading across the various provinces of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    Whoosh! Weng~~


    A dark chaotic soul blast shot out from True God Tian Fa''s soul. This dark soul attack was profound; it travelled at extremely quick speed toward Zhao Feng in an overbearing manner.


    "Hehe, now I can test my Soul eye-bloodline techniques as well!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile as he faced True God Tian Fa''s soul attack.


    All of Zhao Feng''s aspects had increased by leaps and bounds after being in seclusion for so long, but Zhao Feng had only tested the Sacred Lightning Body and Wind Lightning Raging Finger so far.


    "Why is he smiling¡­?" True God Tian Fa, who was extremely confident, suddenly lost that confidence when he saw Zhao Feng reveal a smile.


    My Soul Intent is close to the level of a True God. No one on this continent can withstand it! He''s definitely bluffing! True God Tian Fa told himself, but a sudden surge of Eye Intent appeared from Zhao Feng''s left eye and caused True God Tian Fa''s expression to change dramatically.


    Weng~~ Shu!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye flashed with countless bolts of white lightning as a Destructive power appeared.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng used part of the God Tribulation Lightning from his Lightning Soul Body and focused it into his left eye.


    Voom!


    A ball of Destructive and blazing God Tribulation Lightning symbols landed on True God Tian Fa''s soul. At the same time, True God Tian Fa''s soul attack landed on Zhao Feng''s soul.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    Almost five thousand God Tribulation Lightning symbols flashed with a golden-white light in Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body and radiated a Destructive force of lightning that could suppress ghosts and gods alike. Most of True God Tian Fa''s soul attack was destroyed by the God Tribulation Lightning symbols. A small amount entered Zhao Feng''s left eye, but it was like rocks entering the ocean; there was no disturbance at all.


    On the other side, True God Tian Fa''s head burst with pain as he screamed out.


    "How is this possible? How come my soul attack was ineffective? Do you have a soul-defending divine weapon?" True God Tian Fa looked at Zhao Feng in fear.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" A surge of Eye Intent once again appeared from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Voom!


    Another ball of God Tribulation Lightning symbols exploded in True God Tian Fa''s face.


    "Arghhh¡­!" The injury from a moment ago hadn''t recovered yet, and True God Tian Fa was suddenly hit by Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique once more. The pain was so bad that he wanted to die.


    "Master, True God Tian Fa''s soul was once at the level of a Rank Three True God. Although he was severely injured by you all last time and his soul dropped to just below a True God, it''s still very difficult to kill him!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said from inside the Misty Spatial World.


    "Rank Three True God?" Zhao Feng was surprised. He didn''t expect True God Tian Fa to be so strong at his peak. The soul of a True God was indeed very difficult to kill.


    "If that''s the case, then I have to kill you!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed as he released a surge of killing intent.


    Zhao Feng would enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods sooner or later. If True God Tian Fa returned to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he would definitely lead the people behind him to deal with Zhao Fen. True God Tian Fa himself could also use his true power in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, so Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to do anything to fight back.


    "Illusion Soul Blast! Eye of Ice Soul! Forbidden Illusion Lost World!" Zhao Feng circulated the God''s Spiritual Eye and kept on attacking True God Tian Fa.


    "Arghhh¡­! Stop!" True God Tian Fa cried out in pain.


    He regretted the fact that he used a soul attack on Zhao Feng a moment ago. He never expected Zhao Feng''s soul attacks to be so strong either. One had to know that, while True God Tian Fa''s cultivation was currently rather low, his Soul Intent was close to the level of a True God. At this moment, although Zhao Feng''s soul attacks couldn''t destroy his soul, they were able to damage his soul and cause great pain.


    Hu!


    True God Tian Fa merged a chaotic ball of Divine Power into his spear and threw it.


    Boom! Peng!


    The golden spear exploded when it approached Zhao Feng, and a terrifying blast of Divine Power devoured Heaven and Earth and spread out in every direction.


    Shua!


    A triangular piece of metal appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. Zhao Feng had the advantage in terms of the soul, but Zhao Feng had to use his divine weapon to face True God Tian Fa''s ultimate physical attack. The triangular piece of metal in Zhao Feng''s hand instantly turned into a black shield and blocked the storm of destruction.


    "Dark Cloud Flash!" True God Tian Fa turned into a black mist, merged into space, and flashed away.


    "That is¡­!?" True God Tian Fa saw the black shield in Zhao Feng''s hand before he left, and his eyes widened in shock.


    "I didn''t think that item would be in your hands!" True God Tian Fa instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. He never expected that the item he needed to complete his task was in Zhao Feng''s hands. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng could even use it as well.


    "Where do you think you''re running to?" A faint mental energy undulation flashed through Zhao Feng''s left eye and left behind a Mark of the God Eye on True God Tian Fa.


    "Come out!" Zhao Feng immediately summoned the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Yes, Master!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon obviously knew what Zhao Feng wanted.


    Weng~~


    Black flames arose around the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon as it turned into a five-hundred-yard-long black dragon and chased after True God Tian Fa with Zhao Feng on top of it. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s true power surpassed True God Tian Fa''s by a lot, but it was still heavily injured and had a damaged foundation.


    "Sky Locking Bow!" A dark silver bow appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, who was currently standing above the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. With a Whoosh!, a dark arrow of light shot through the air and pierced through True God Tian Fa''s chest. With such a powerful flying steed, Zhao Feng only needed to focus on attacking.


    In the sky far away, a bald elder and several Emperors were speeding through the sky. The bald elder was the Grand Elder of the Divine Wind Tower, a three-star power in Yu Province. When news of the battle next to the Hall of Gods spread to the Divine Wind Tower, the bald elder decided to check it out.


    Right at this moment, a terrifying aura appeared in Heaven and Earth in the distance.


    Whoosh!


    A dark flash of light left behind a series of afterimages in the air.


    Whoosh! Boom!


    The Grand Elder and the Emperors of the Divine Wind Tower instantly spat out mouthfuls of blood and stopped moving as their bodies started to tremble.


    "Who was that person?" The bald elder had a face full of relief. The Emperors behind him were dazed and unable to calm down. At that instant just now, they felt like they died.


    Right when they let out a breath, a giant flame flashed through the air. The terrifying aura of Destruction radiating from it could kill late-stage Sacred Lords. A five-hundred-yard-long black dragon radiating fire was chasing after that streak of light. On top of the giant dragon was a male with golden hair. He was surrounded in dark golden lightning and had a cold expression as killing intent flickered through his eyes. It was like he was a God of War riding a dragon!


    "That''s¡­ the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon!" The bald elder couldn''t speak properly as he started to tremble. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was an existence that could bring disaster to the continent zone, but he saw that there was a human figure on top of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Isn''t that Zhao Feng, the Grand Elder of the Hall of Gods?" The bald elder couldn''t believe it. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon that had a wisp of the Destruction Dragon Race Bloodline had bowed under Zhao Feng''s feet!?

 1142 Shocking the Great Gan Lord Dynasty

    Chapter 1142 - Shocking the Great Gan Lord Dynasty


    "Sky Locking Bow!"


    Zhao Feng stood on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s head and used the Sky Locking Bow to continuously attack True God Tian Fa. Since there was still some distance between Zhao Feng and True God Tian Fa, he had to use the Sky Locking Bow to attack him from afar.


    The Sky Locking Bow couldn''t deal much damage to True God Tian Fa since he was rather strong, but every little bit added up. If this continued, the injuries would become more severe, and it would start to affect True God Tian Fa''s speed.


    Weng~~ Shu!


    Zhao Feng unleashed a surge of soul-fire into the arrow on the Sky Locking Bow. With a Weng~, the arrow shot through the air and pierced through True God Tian Fa''s chest.


    "Siii! A soul attack!?" True God Tian Fa exclaimed. He used some medicine to recover his injuries before continuing to run away.


    Whoosh!


    True God Tian Fa turned back into a black mist that hid into space and flashed away. A giant dragon radiating scarlet-black flames followed.


    "Chase after him! Let''s see where he can run to!" Zhao Feng''s expression became cold.


    Zhao Feng was using the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon to fly whereas True God Tian Fa was escaping with his own power while injured. Their situations were completely different.


    Through the continent zone, the pursuit extended from Yu Province to the inner continent. Heaven and Earth darkened, and mountains and rivers shattered wherever they went.


    Of course, news of this battle had spread across the continent zone long ago, so the forces in the path of where these two were heading had retreated long ago in case they were accidentally killed.


    One day, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon flew over the territory of the Dong Family, which was one of the Eight Big Families. In the distance, the upper echelon of the Dong Family looked at Zhao Feng in shock.


    "I didn''t think that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had really been tamed by Zhao Feng!" The Grand Elder''s expression turned to shock. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon represented destruction and oblivion, but now it was a human''s steed?


    "But who is Zhao Feng chasing after?"


    "I''ve never seen such a person in the continent zone before!"


    The upper echelon of the Dong Family obviously couldn''t tell who True God Tian Fa was. However, even if they couldn''t recognize him, just the steed beneath Zhao Feng''s feet could shock the entire continent zone. In the past, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had managed to escape from the combined forces of the Grand Imperial Hall and Sky Suspension Palace, two four-star powers. Demigod Dragon Emperor had personally fought against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon during the war, but the latter still managed to escape.


    It was hard to imagine what kind of methods the Hall of Gods had to capture the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and tame it. No other force in the entire lord dynasty could do the same.


    "The Dong Family will show its goodwill to the Hall of Gods after this!" The Grand Elder of the Dong Family made a stunning decision, but no one from the Dong Family said anything.


    Apart from this pursuit, the Great Gan Lord Dynasty paid a lot of attention to Demigod Dragon Emperor''s True God Lightning Tribulation.


    In a barren ground of Gan Province, lightning flashed across the dark skies. The earth shook as surges of God Tribulation Lightning pressured all the beings within several dozen thousand miles. This was where Demigod Dragon Emperor''s tribulation was taking place.


    Two Demigods of the Grand Imperial Hall guarded the northern and western sides, while various other members of the Grand Imperial Hall guarded the eastern and southern sides.


    The lightning in the sky started to slowly calm down, and the aura of Destruction faded away.


    "From the looks of it, Demigod Dragon Emperor succeeded!"


    "Luckily, no accidents happened!"


    The two Demigods of the Grand Imperial Hall messaged one another.


    At the center of the God Tribulation Lightning grounds was Demigod Dragon Emperor. He was scorched black, but he opened his bright eyes.


    "Success. After the God Tribulation Lightning, the aura of Ancient Desolate Origin is now in my body!" Demigod Dragon Emperor was extremely excited. He could faintly sense a mysterious destination in the center of the Fan Universe through his soul.


    "Although my Sacred Body was heavily injured by the God Tribulation Lightning, it will soon turn into a Divine Body!" Demigod Dragon Emperor inspected his tattered body and wasn''t worried at all. It would be safest to travel to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods when his Sacred Body turned into a Divine Body. At that point, it would be impossible for Demigod Dragon Emperor to remain in the continent zone even if he wanted to.


    "There''s still some time till my Sacred Body turns into a Divine Body. Soon, I''ll take over the Hall of Gods and shock the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty!" Demigod Dragon Emperor was full of smiles. Apart from the fact that his Sacred Body hadn''t become a Divine Body yet, all his other aspects had reached the level of a True God. At this moment, he was the strongest person in the continent zone. Even Demigod Dark Dragon wouldn''t dare to fight against him.


    "Zhao Feng, wait for True God Dragon Emperor''s punishment!" True God Dragon Emperor couldn''t help but roar with laughter.


    "Hmmm?" Right at this moment, True God Dragon Emperor suddenly sensed a weird Divine Power aura and another Divine Power aura that shook Heaven and Earth.


    The two Demigods of the Grand Imperial Hall at the edges acted as if they were facing a great foe.


    Whoosh! Hu~~


    A dark light streaked through the air and disappeared in the sky.


    "That''s¡­!?" The expression of True God Dragon Emperor, who had just undergone the God Tribulation, changed dramatically. With his current cultivation, he could obviously tell that the person who just flew by was True God Tian Fa!


    "True God Tian Fan didn''t die?" True God Dragon Emperor acted like he was sitting on needles. The memories of how terrifying True God Tian Fan was appeared in his mind. Back then, True God Tian Fa had defeated all the Demigods of both lord dynasties. He would never forget this.


    Right at this moment, a surge of Destructive aura crushed over as darkness overtook the skies.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon¡­ Zhao Feng!" True God Dragon Emperor was completely shocked. He was even suspicious that his eyes had turned bad. Zhao Feng was standing on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s head?


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon instantly flew over the barren lands.


    "What''s going on?" True God Dragon Emperor immediately questioned the other members of the Grand Imperial Hall.


    "Reporting to Grand Elder, this happened more than two months ago. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon seems to have been tamed by the Hall of Gods and has become Zhao Feng''s steed. No one knows who Zhao Feng is chasing after!" An upper echelon member of the Imperial Sky Net immediately reported to True God Dragon Emperor.


    "¡­chased after for two months!?" True God Dragon Emperor''s expression froze as waves rampaged through his heart. Zhao Feng had tamed the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and the battle between him and True God Tian Fa had lasted for more than two months already? True God Dragon Emperor didn''t expect such a big thing to happen while he was breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    ¡­


    "Zhao Feng, the Ancient Soul Hall won''t forgive you if you kill me!" True God Tian Fa''s aura was weak and exhausted. Even though he had eaten a lot of medicine, it wasn''t enough to recover the damage to his body and soul after being chased by Zhao Feng for an entire two months.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as a triangular piece of metal appeared in his hand.


    Ding! Ding!


    The triangular piece of metal turned into a black metallic bow. Faint golden light flashed around the green lines of the bow as Zhao Feng pulled back the bowstring and merged his Divine Power into it.


    Boom! Hu~~


    A black arrow of light summoned a tornado as it shot forward!


    "Not good, I can''t dodge it!" True God Tian Fa felt as if this aura had locked onto him. This was an attack from a divine weapon! Although Zhao Feng was only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm and his Divine Power was impure, True God Tian Fa was currently heavily injured, and his strength wasn''t even at 40%.


    "Black Demon Wind Shield!" True God Tian Fa burned his Divine Power and used a defensive secret technique.


    Weng~~


    A black demonic shield appeared in front of True God Tian Fa.


    Boom!


    In the next instant, Zhao Feng''s arrow landed on it.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    True God Tian Fa''s defensive secret technique instantly crumbled. Although True God Tian Fa had expected this and retreated instantly, he was still hit by the storm of destruction.


    "Dammit, I have to give up my body now!" True God Tian Fa hesitated. He finally managed to cultivate this body to the level of a Sacred King. If he escaped with his soul right now and took over another body, who knew how long it would be before he could recover to his peak?


    However, compared to death, True God Tian Fa would rather choose taking over another body and re-cultivating. True God Tian Fa would die with great regret if he was killed by a Sacred Lord in such a weak dimension!


    Just as True God Tian Fa was about to escape with his soul and search for a body to take over:


    Weng~ Weng~


    Multi-colored Sacred Power appeared around True God Tian Fa. In an instant, Heaven and Earth seemed to tremble as countless elements moved through the air.


    "Not good, this is the Myriad Forms Dimension!" True God Tian Fa''s eyes shook as fear appeared in his heart.


    All of True God Tian Fa''s actions had already been seen by Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye; he would not be able to escape. At this moment, True God Tian Fa was trapped by Zhao Wan''s Myriad Forms Dimension. Although Zhao Wan was only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, he could become a Sacred King at any time. It wasn''t easy to escape from the Origin Dimension of one of the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes!


    "Now is your death!" Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye saw through everything and locked onto True God Tian Fa within the Myriad Forms Dimension.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng''s left eye flashed with white lightning as a Destructive soul power appeared.


    At this moment, more than five thousand God Tribulation Lightning symbols within Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body were used in the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame. Who knew what kind of power it would have!? Zhao Feng''s heart shook, and he was extremely excited.


    Voom!


    A ball of blazing God Tribulation Lightning symbols instantly landed on True God Tian Fa''s soul and exploded.


    As he used the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flames, Zhao Feng also pulled back the bowstring of the black bow.


    Whoosh!


    A black arrow of divine light shot forward.


    Zhao Wan retracted his Origin Dimension at the critical moment so that it wouldn''t be damaged.


    Boom!


    The arrow from the bow-form Ancient God Seal pierced through True God Tian Fa''s chest while he was still under the bombardment of the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame.


    "Zezeze, a Rank Three True God actually died here!?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon laughed.


    True God Tian Fa was heavily injured after two months of pursuit. Against the combined power of Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique and divine weapon, there was absolutely no chance that True God Tian Fa was still alive! At this instant, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon felt proud to be Zhao Feng''s steed.


    The storm faded away, and Zhao Feng stopped using his God''s Spiritual Eye after confirming that True God Tian Fa was dead.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng waved his left arm and used the Misty Spatial World to leave. The members of the Grand Imperial Hall and the Imperial Sky Net instantly sent news of this to Demigod Dragon Emperor the same day the pursuit ended.


    "True God Tian Fa died!?" Demigod Dragon Emperor''s breathing stopped momentarily. His eyes became dazed and his mind went blank.


    Although True God Tian Fa obviously wasn''t at his peak state, he was still a powerful True God from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but he was killed by a Mystic Light Realm Sacred Lord!


    It was also incredulous that Zhao Feng managed to tame the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon! With Zhao Feng''s resources, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s strength would increase dramatically.


    Demigod Dragon Emperor had originally been thinking of teaching the Hall of Gods a lesson after breaking through to become a True God before he entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but now, Demigod Dragon Emperor didn''t dare to even think about it.


    "I''ll let him live for now. After I enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and find the imperial ancestors, I''ll teach him a lesson!" Demigod Dragon Emperor harrumphed coldly.


    Many True Gods of the Grand Imperial Hall had entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Demigod Dragon Emperor''s first mission when he entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods would be to find the imperial ancestors.

 1143 The Final Preparations

    Chapter 1143 - The Final Preparations


    The moment Zhao Feng returned to the Hall of Gods, in another forbidden hall:


    "That''s right. His body contains the aura of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon!" The Evil God Mental Thought Body within Nan Gongsheng shook.


    Although there were rumors in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had been tamed by Zhao Feng, the Evil God Mental Thought Body wouldn''t believe that unless it personally witnessed it. After all, back in the day, even his owner, Ancient God Xie Yang, wasn''t able to kill the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. He only managed to seal it.


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Feng''s strength would have reached this level. He''s tamed the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and defeated True God Tian Fa as well!" Nan Gongsheng had a grim expression as unwillingness appeared on his face. He had become stronger by fusing with the power of the Evil God but was still thrown behind by Zhao Feng and could only watch him from the back.


    "You don''t need to think too much about it. His eye has the potential to become the Ninth God''s Eye, and once the Ninth God''s Eye fully matures¡­" The Evil God Mental Thought Body trembled as respect appeared in its heart.


    ¡­


    "True God Tian Fa''s interspatial dimension is also a substandard God weapon!"


    Zhao Feng looked at the black interspatial ring. The interspatial dimension of this substandard God weapon had been damaged when he killed True God Tian Fa, but it wasn''t destroyed. Zhao Feng put his Divine Sense into it and found that it was extremely empty. There were only a few low-tier resources, weapons, and books.


    "Hmm? This is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s gaze first landed on a small tattered black piece of metal. This black piece of metal was extremely normal, but it attracted Zhao Feng''s attention because this black piece of metal was similar to Zhao Feng''s Ancient God Seal.


    Zhao Feng opened his God''s Spiritual Eye and closely inspected this piece of metal.


    "It seems to be just a normal piece of metal!" Zhao Feng concluded after a long time. This piece of metal might not have many uses, but it was still put in the interspatial dimension by True God Tian Fa.


    This puzzled Zhao Feng until he suddenly remembered what happened when he fought against True God Tian Fa. True God Tian Fa seemed to have been very shocked when he took out the Ancient God Seal.


    "Could it be that True God Tian Fa originally came here to find the Ancient God Seal?" Zhao Feng came to a shocking conclusion after analyzing all the clues.


    The Ancient God Seal had an intense reaction when True God Tian Fa first descended. This black piece of metal''s use was most likely to sense the Ancient God Seal''s location. As for why True God Tian Fa wanted the Ancient God Seal, Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to know anything about it.


    "Luckily, True God Tian Fa is dead!" Zhao Feng let out a breath. If True God Tian Fa escaped back to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Zhao Feng would be marked by the force behind True God Tian Fa.


    Zhao Feng then turned his gaze to the other items. The cultivation resources didn''t reach Zhao Feng''s standards, so he picked up some books.


    "They''re all peak Heaven-tier skills, and there are even some divine techniques!"


    Above the Heaven tier was the Divine tier. The Divine tier was split into low, medium, high, and peak as well. However, the divine techniques here didn''t suit Zhao Feng.


    "Looks like True God Tian Fa used up most of his wealth after taking over a body and re-cultivating!" Zhao Feng was slightly disappointed. Nothing in True God Tian Fa''s interspatial dimension attracted Zhao Feng''s attention.


    However, that was only because Zhao Feng''s standards were too high. In reality, the cultivation resources and Heaven-grade weapons in True God Tian Fa''s interspatial dimension were peerless treasures in the continent zone.


    Zhao Feng then picked out the Nine Heavens Dragon Obliteration Spear and the Black Yuan Divine Technique. Although these two techniques didn''t suit Zhao Feng, all Dao had things in common.


    Zhao Feng soon memorized the contents of these two divine techniques into his mind and started to slowly comprehend them. Zhao Feng managed to comprehend many profound skills from these two divine techniques, and his knowledge increased as well.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng received news that the Grand Imperial Hall had a new Demigod, and True God Dragon Emperor had already left for the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    After Dragon Emperor left, the imperials of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty started to become low-key.


    Zhao Feng realized that the Hall of Gods had become more crowded than ever before after a few days. The upper echelon members of many forces in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty came to the Hall of Gods, and some begged to become subordinate forces of the Hall of Gods.


    After Zhao Feng rode the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon around the continent zone, the effect it had on the continent zone was on par with both four-star powers if not even stronger.


    Normal two-star powers needed to undergo tests and inspections to become the Hall of God''s subordinate forces. Zhao Feng didn''t bother with this at all and let Bi Qingyue handle everything.


    "The overall strength of the Hall of Gods is on par with the two four-star forces, but the Hall of Gods has more potential¡­." A light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes. As long as the Hall of Gods had several dozen more years or even just a decade, the overall strength of the Hall of Gods would exceed the Grand Imperial Hall and Sky Suspension Palace.


    Sky Suspension Palace wasn''t very ambitious, and the Grand Imperial Hall was currently very low-key. They restrained themselves from anything involving the Hall of Gods and could only keep one eye shut.


    The Hall of Gods wasn''t far away from Zhao Feng''s final goal of ruling the continent.


    One day, the Yu Family came to the Hall of Gods. Respect appeared in Yu Tianhao''s heart as he looked toward the direction of the forbidden grounds where Zhao Feng was. Back in the Imperial Tombs, he was on par with Zhao Feng, but now, Zhao Feng had become the strongest person in the lord dynasty.


    "Zhao Feng, you are the person that I respect the most, but I will definitely catch up to you!" Endless battle-intent burned in Yu Tianhao''s eyes.


    As the Hall of Gods was rapidly expanding and spreading its forces across the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty, Zhao Feng was preparing to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Zhao Feng soon arrived at where Kun Yun was staying.


    "What is it?" Kun Yun had a solemn gaze as he inspected Zhao Feng.


    "I want to make one more deal with you!" Zhao Feng sat down and said with a faint smile.


    "One more deal?" Kun Yun''s expression paused. Kun Yun originally thought that Zhao Feng wouldn''t need his help anymore. Zhao Feng''s strength was unrivalled in the lord dynasty, and he was the strongest expert in the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. This was also why the non-humans took no action after Dragon Emperor left for the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The rise of the Hall of Gods made the Great Gan Lord Dynasty''s strength slightly exceed the Dark Moon Lord Dynasty.


    "I might enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods soon!" Zhao Feng sighed.


    "What? You''re going to try to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm?" This was Kun Yun''s first thought, but he realized that he was being dumb after calming down. Zhao Feng was only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm right now. No matter how fast his cultivation speed was, it was impossible for him break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm within the next decade.


    "No, just going to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. As for breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm¡­" Zhao Feng told his plan to Kun Yun.


    Being a Demigod in his previous life, Kun Yun instantly knew that this plan could work when he heard it. As long as one had enough aura of the Ancient Desolate Origin, they would be able to sense the location of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!


    "This is the last deal; you shall protect the Hall of Gods for thirty years after I leave. I''ll make sure that you will also be able to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods as your reward!" Zhao Feng told Kun Yun the contents of the deal. Kun Yun instantly understood what Zhao Feng''s reward meant; he would give Kun Yun enough aura of Ancient Desolate Origin to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "Deal!" Kun Yun immediately agreed to Zhao Feng''s suggestion without even thinking about it.


    Kun Yun had originally been planning to try to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm a hundred years later, but at this moment, Zhao Feng just wanted him to guard the Hall of Gods for thirty years. He would be able to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods thirty years later. The chances of successfully breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were much higher, and there was more to be gained out of it. Why wouldn''t Kun Yun accept such a good deal?


    Zhao Feng and Kun Yun then sighed a blood contract.


    "This should be enough!" Zhao Feng gave Kun Yun an interspatial dimension, then went around the Hall of Gods for a walk after leaving Kun Yun''s hall. Zhao Feng told Bi Qingyue, Supreme Emperor Dark Night, Old Monster Xu and those that were loyal to him his plans before returning to the Misty Spatial World and entering seclusion.


    An important prerequisite to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was that one''s state of existence had to reach the level of a Demigod at least.


    Many ancient resources floated before Zhao Feng in the Misty Spatial World. Zhao Feng circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and quickly absorbed the energy within these materials.


    Zhao Feng''s state of existence slowly increased. Five thousand God Tribulation Lightning symbols within his Lightning Soul Body flashed and released a dazzling beam of power that started to refine his Sacred Lightning Body.


    On the other side, Zhao Wan also cultivated the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. Since they shared their experience with one another, their cultivation speed was very fast.


    A year later, the aura of Wind Lightning coming from Zhao Feng''s body suddenly increased, and a dark yellow Sacred Power of Wind Lightning appeared in Heaven and Earth.


    "He broke through to become a Sacred King!" Zhao Wan was surprised as he looked at Zhao Feng. The area where Zhao Feng was cultivating was like a dark world of lightning; one could feel the terrifying force of lightning just by looking at it from afar.


    Crack! Crack!


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng''s bones cracked, and he radiated lightning from his skin.


    Weng~~~ Shu!


    Layers of condensed dark yellow lightning surrounded Zhao Feng, continuously rising and falling.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The earth around Zhao Feng suddenly crumbled into a scorched black crater a hundred yards wide.


    "So strong!" Zhao Wan could feel the physical pressure even from several thousand miles away.


    "The 7th level of the Sacred Lightning Body!" Joy and excitement appeared on Zhao Feng''s face. The 7th level of the Sacred Lightning Body corresponded to the level of True Gods. Almost no one in the continent zone would be able to injure Zhao Feng now.


    "Master, when do we leave?" Excitement flashed through the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes. Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was still just a Sacred King, its Destruction Dragon Body was extremely strong. It was no weaker than the 7th level of Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body, so the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon also met the prerequisite to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "Continue to cultivate. I allow you to recover back to the cultivation of a Demigod!" Zhao Feng said before starting to consolidate his Sacred Lightning Body that had just broken through.


    One day, Zhao Wang returned to the Hall of Gods, and Zhao Feng dragged Zhao Wang into the Misty Spatial World with just a thought.

 1144 Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods

    Chapter 1144 - Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods


    Zhao Wang''s cultivation talent was low, so he was still only an early-stage Sacred Lord, but this was a good thing from Zhao Feng''s point of view since Zhao Wang would be able to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods earlier in his cultivation and make up for it.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re planning on taking them to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression turned to surprise as it looked at Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan.


    People could bring other people to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods just like how the elder of the Spiritual Race took Zhao Yufei, but this would bring double the pressure. This meant that, if Zhao Feng brought another living being to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he would need to bear the pressure of two people. This was why the True Gods from the continent zone always entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods alone.


    Zhao Feng''s state of existence had only reached the level of a Demigod, so it would be impossible for him to bring the little thieving cat, Zhao Wang, and Zhao Wan to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "You don''t need to worry about it!" Zhao Feng obviously knew what the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s worries were.


    His consciousness entered the dimension of his God Eye and touched a whirlpool within the mysterious golden ball. In the next instant, Zhao Feng, Zhao Wang, and Zhao Wan all disappeared completely from the Misty Spatial World.


    "Where did they go?" The expression of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon turned to shock. Zhao Feng and the other two just completely disappeared from this dimension. There was no aura from the outside world either.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng appeared within the Misty Spatial World again, but Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan didn''t.


    "Master, where did you send them off to?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon asked with surprise. Zhao Feng didn''t respond; he just left the Misty Spatial World.


    Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan were Zhao Feng''s soul clones, so there wouldn''t be any issues with them knowing the secret of the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng believed that there would be no issues taking them to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods if they were in the Ancient Dream Realm. There wouldn''t be much of a problem for Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon to take the little thieving cat together.


    Zhao Feng gave all the beasts within the Misty Spatial World to Bi Qingyue. The strength of these beasts was mainly at the level of Emperors and weaker Sacred Lords. They weren''t very useful to Zhao Feng, but they would be a strong force in the Hall of Gods.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved his arm, and his figure started to slowly fade away amongst a layer of silver.


    ¡­


    Nanlin Sea, Floating Dream territory, Sky Qin Zone:


    A golden-haired male suddenly descended toward Sky Qin Sacred Palace. This time, the members of Sky Qin Sacred Palace weren''t as scared of Zhao Feng and instead had respectful gazes.


    "Zhao Feng, you came to see her again!" The Sky Qin Sacred Palace Master smiled. There was only one reason why Zhao Feng would come here.


    Zhao Feng talked to the Sky Qin Sacred Palace Master for a short while before coming to the forbidden grounds of Sky Qin Sacred Palace. Zhao Feng stood quietly in the clouds and looked at the ancient and mysterious palace ahead of him. Even Zhao Feng''s golden eye wasn''t able to see through this mysterious palace.


    Zhao Feng stood there for an entire three days. What he didn''t know was that, on the 49th floor of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, Liu Qinyin was unresigned as she also looked at Zhao Feng with care for three days.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng''s expression changed.


    "Qinyin, if I have a chance to do so, I''ll come visit you," Zhao Feng said with a calm expression. If True God Tian Fan could come to the continent zone, there was a possibility for Zhao Feng to do the same after entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon appeared next to Zhao Feng.


    "Hehehe, I can finally leave this shitty place!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon laughed.


    Zhao Feng acted according to what the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said and summoned the aura of the Ancient Desolate Origin in the depths of his body. At the same time, he also released his Divine Sense to sense the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Weng~~


    A faint disturbance came from the center of the Fan Universe in the distance.


    Weng!


    A weird disturbance in space appeared around the duo and radiated a faint ancient and desolate aura.


    Apart from those that Zhao Feng had imprinted a Dark Heart Seal into, no one in the continent zone realized that the strongest expert of the continent zone, Zhao Feng, had left this dimension.


    On a certain mountain peak on an island in the Sky Qin Zone stood an elder. He had his hands behind his back as he looked into the distance. The elder was dressed in black like the night. Although his eyes were dim, they glittered like stars and revealed endless time and wisdom.


    A big silver-and-black lazy cat that seemed to be shaking lay on the elder''s shoulder.


    "He''s finally left!" The Six Warlock Sage let out a sigh as he looked toward the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace.


    "Qinyin, even I can''t divine your fate¡­." The Six Warlock Sage had a complicated expression as he shook his head.


    "Big lazy cat, we should go back now!"


    Miao!


    The sleeping silver-black big fat lazily opened its eyes and yawned.


    ¡­


    "This is the pressure of moving through space?" Zhao Feng croaked out.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were covered in layers of silver. Every time Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon passed through a layer of silver, a terrifying surge of spatial power hit their bodies.


    "Master, we''re taking your little cat with us, so the pressure of passing through space is stronger and will cost us more time!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body was already extremely tattered.


    ¡­


    In the center of the infinite Fan Universe was a large piece of land named the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. There were countless pieces of land around the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods; the further one went from the center of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, the smaller the land. Everywhere apart from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was known as a foreign dimension.


    Spatial disturbances could be felt in the foreign dimensions regularly, and powerful beings could sense these faint disturbances in space speeding toward the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Space at the border of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods in an ancient forest suddenly started to twist.


    Weng~


    Two transparent figures appeared. One of them had golden hair and stood out like a scorching sun. The other male had black dragon scales and revealed a smile on its nasty face.


    "What thick Heaven Earth Yuan Qi¡­." Zhao Feng could sense the thick and slightly chaotic Heaven Earth Yuan Qi the instant he appeared in this dimension. If he cultivated here, the effect would be on par with using peak-grade Primal Crystal Stones in the continent zone.


    Furthermore, this Yuan Qi was extremely pure, as if it had merged with the ancient aura. However, this place was a complete land left behind by the Ancient Era.


    Standing in this dimension, Zhao Feng suddenly felt as if the continent zone that he came from seemed to be a fake world of illusions. His body felt extremely solidified here, and it seemed to cheer. A smug sensation washed over his body.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye suddenly started to thud. Zhao Feng felt as if the God''s Spiritual Eye was about to change once again.


    "And those two¡­!" Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the dimension of his God Eye and arrived in the Ancient Dream Realm the next instant. Two human figures stood before Zhao Feng. They were Zhao Wan and Zhao Wang.


    However, at this moment, the trio all stood frozen as they felt surges of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi enter the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "The purity of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and the aura of Ancient Desolate Origin in the Ancient Dream Realm is increasing!" Zhao Feng said with shock and joy.


    Originally, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within the Ancient Dream Realm was just one level higher than the continent zone. Zhao Feng cultivated here only for the ancient aura. However, at this moment, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within the Ancient Dream Realm was increasing rapidly and approaching the purity of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Everything in Zhao Feng''s sight was slowly changing.


    "Let''s not worry about this for now!" Zhao Feng''s consciousness took Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan and left the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, where is this?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    "Master, I don''t know!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon replied.


    "The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods is enormous. I probably haven''t even been to one thousandth of the territory of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods in my life!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed a respectful and fearful expression when it saw that Zhao Feng was about to question him.


    "Hmm? There seems to be people ahead!" Zhao Feng''s gaze saw through several dozen thousand miles and saw a human group. There were more than a dozen people in the group. Most were peak Kings or Emperors.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng put the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon into the Misty Spatial World and headed toward this group of people.


    Zhao Feng felt that the laws of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were extremely similar to the Ancient Dream Realm. His speed was dramatically reduced here; in comparison to his flying speed in the continent zone, his speed was like a turtle compared to a rabbit.


    Hu~~


    He quickly sped toward the group then stopped.


    "Who are you?" The expression of a middle-aged male sitting on a green-winged wolf became pale-white as he instantly became wary.


    This middle-aged male was an early-stage Sacred Lord and was the strongest person in the group. Behind the green-winged wolf was a carriage. The curtains were drawn open, and a female with jade-green horns inspected Zhao Feng.


    "I used a damaged teleportation array and teleported to an unknown place. May I ask what place this is?" Zhao Feng concealed his aura and asked kindly.


    "Not someone from the Giant Spirit Deer Race?" A sigh sounded from the group.


    "This is the Red Leaf Forest Land owned by the Sky Feather Island Lord!" The middle-aged male inspected Zhao Feng suspiciously.


    "Never heard of it," the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s voice sounded from within the Misty Spatial World.


    "I wonder if there''s any populated places nearby. I want to buy a map!" Zhao Feng spoke.


    He just wanted to find a momentary place to rest for now since he had just arrived after the ordeal in space. Forests and mountains surrounded everything within several dozen thousand miles. Apart from beasts, there were basically no signs of any other humans.


    "This is a place where beasts are occasionally seen. We are heading to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race in the west of the Red Leaf Forest Land. If you don''t mind, you can come with us!" the female with jade-green horns said gently.


    "Young Lady Lin''er, we can''t take any random person with us. Plus, this person is extremely young, but his strength¡­" the middle-aged male said.


    "Uncle Qing, let''s help this young sir. He doesn''t seem like a bad person!" Yu Lin''er looked at the somewhat helpless Zhao Feng.


    "Thank you!" Zhao Feng immediately entered the group before they could finish their discussion.


    Uncle Qing looked at Zhao Feng with dissatisfaction. The Young Lady was too kind; one couldn''t tell who was nice and who was cruel with just one glance. Now, he just hoped that Zhao Feng wasn''t some cocky brat.

 1145 Danger on the Way

    Chapter 1145 - Danger on the Way


    "Let''s go!" Uncle Qing said helplessly, and the group continued on their way.


    "Master, these are members of the Green Jade Sheep Race, a race that just barely managed to be included in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. From the looks of it, a powerful opposing race attacked them, and they can only move to some other area now," the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon explained to Zhao Feng.


    There were no countries or lord dynasties in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods; there were only forces and races of different sizes.


    The laws of nature were stronger in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Battles over resources between different races would occasionally happen. Experts controlled the fates of the weak! The Green Jade Sheep Race had been defeated by the Giant Spirit Deer Race and was now running to some other place.


    Hearing this, Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sigh. Three-star powers in the continent zone were considered very strong, and it was rare to see battles between three-star forces.


    Zhao Feng then turned his gaze toward the carriage. Those within the carriage would obviously be the main members of the Green Jade Sheep Race. Amongst them, Yu Lin''er was an Emperor, but she wasn''t even thirty years old yet. Next to Yu Lin''er was a youth who was even younger.


    "This youth is probably only around sixteen but is already at the Small Origin Core Realm!" Zhao Feng was stunned as he saw through the carriage. If this youth was in the continent zone, he would be considered a miraculous prodigy in the entire continent zone.


    One had to know that when Zhao Feng was sixteen years old, he was only at the Ascended Realm, and even then, he was considered one of the younger ones amongst those of the same cultivation. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng''s results back then would be a humiliation if he was born in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Zhao Feng then inspected the other people in the group. The members of the Green Jade Sheep Race were mainly Kings and Emperors, but their auras were extremely condensed. Light flashed through their eyes; it was obvious that they had strong foundations and had experienced a lot of battle. They were all very experienced and knowledgeable.


    The Peak-tier Kings of the Green Jade Sheep Race are much stronger than normal Emperors in the continent zone! Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile as he became more curious about the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "My name is Man Zi. Friend, where are you from?" At this moment, a male from the Green Jade Sheep Race greeted Zhao Feng.


    "My name is Zhao Feng, and I''m from the western border of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!" Zhao Feng''s expression remained the same as he replied according to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s directions. From what Zhao Feng knew, the reason this Man Zi came to talk to Zhao Feng was because Uncle Qing had ordered him to find out more about Zhao Feng.


    "That''s a bit far. Sky Feather Island is near the northern border of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!" Man Zi revealed a worried expression for Zhao Feng.


    "But since Brother Zhao dares to travel alone, your strength must be great, right?" Man Zi closely inspected Zhao Feng. He couldn''t sense a very strong ancient bloodline from Zhao Feng. Without a Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline, Zhao Feng''s cultivation talent would definitely be weaker. However, Zhao Feng traveled alone despite his young age, which surprised many from the Green Jade Sheep Race.


    Parts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were ruled by powerful forces while other places were forbidden areas that were usually ruled by precious and rare beasts or full of some other dangers. Without great power, other races and forces would need to pay a price to pass through the territory of another force. If they accidentally entered the territory of beasts, they might be attacked.


    Right at this moment, the sound of flying appeared in the clouds, and a fierce arrow charged over. Several dozen giant green birds with rotting wings revealed ghastly white bones as they glared at the members of the Green Jade Sheep Race with deadly eyes.


    "Green Death Birds. Pay attention and protect Young Lady and Young Master!" Uncle Qing roared.


    The momentum of the entire group suddenly changed. A surge of battle-intent and cold killing intent started to spread. Uncle Qing led eight people and waved the dark green spear in his hand as he released several golden beams of light.


    "Green Azure Blow!"


    "Green Light Strike!"


    The other members of the Green Jade Sheep Race attacked alongside Uncle Qing.


    The cultivations of these Green Death Birds were mainly at the level of Emperors. Although the Green Jade Sheep Race didn''t have many people, they had Uncle Qing, so nothing would happen to them.


    The Green Death Birds were soon at a disadvantage. The majority of them were slain, and the remaining Green Death Birds left.


    "Continue!" Uncle Qing said as the entire group continued on their way.


    "Sorry for letting Brother Zhao see this joke. Even the Green Death Birds dare to attack us now!" Man Zi sighed next to Zhao Feng.


    "Doesn''t the Green Jade Sheep Race have any Mystic Light Realm experts? It''s considered a three-star race, right?" Zhao Feng asked with a smile.


    "Brother Zhao, stop making fun of us. Three-star races are at the very bottom in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. With the current population of the Green Jade Sheep Race, we are probably one of the weakest three-star forces!" Man Zi disliked what Zhao Feng just said.


    Zhao Feng''s expression paused slightly. Three-star forces were at the very bottom in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods? Although Zhao Feng knew little about the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, a three-star force couldn''t have such little power here, right?


    "Master, that''s indeed the case. Two-star and three-star forces are at the very bottom in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. They''re only tools for other stronger forces to obtain resources with!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said.


    "Only a four-star race, such as the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, can be considered strong in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods¡­." Awe and respect flashed through Man Zi''s eyes when he mentioned the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, which was precisely their destination.


    Zhao Feng''s expression became slightly grim. If even three-star powers were at the very bottom in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, then Zhao Feng would most likely have to go to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race that Man Zi talked about just to obtain a detailed map.


    Zhao Feng would only be able to confirm his destination after obtaining a map. His main focus would obviously be finding Zhao Yufei. His goals after that were to join a powerful force and obtain resources to increase his power. After all, although Zhao Feng wasn''t considered very weak in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he wasn''t very strong either.


    In the blink of an eye, a month passed. In this period of time, the Green Jade Sheep Race was attacked by beasts five times. The worst time was when they met a Sacred Lord-level black-and-white Illusion Scale Snake; Uncle Qing and many members of the Green Jade Sheep Race paid a price to defeat it.


    "Uncle Qing, come rest a bit here!" Yu Lin''er was slightly worried. Uncle Qing''s injuries had become worse after the fight with the black-and-white Illusion Scale Snake.


    "Don''t worry. These little injuries won''t do anything to me. We still have five more days till we reach the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race!" Uncle Qing squeezed out a smile.


    As long as they reached the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, the Green Jade Sheep Race would be able to rest and recover. They would take back their territory that the Giant Spirit Deer Race captured in the future.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled as he looked at the black night sky.


    Wu~~~~


    Right at this instant, a fierce and cold aura appeared. The entire group turned cold and started to shiver.


    "This aura¡­ late stages of the Mystic Light Realm!" Uncle Qing''s expression changed dramatically as his face turned pale-white.


    Hu! Hu!


    A giant black-armored eagle swept over alongside a gust of cold wind. The entire group shook from the pressure of this giant black-armored eagle. They were like candles in the wind that could blow out at any moment.


    The giant black-armored eagle flew around the air above the Green Jade Sheep Race and looked downward with playfulness.


    "It''s a Black Scaled Ice Eagle!?"


    "Uncle Qing, what do we do?"


    The other members of the Green Jade Sheep Race panicked and turned toward Uncle Qing. After all, Uncle Qing was the strongest person here.


    "Protect Young Lady and Young Master with our lives!" Uncle Qing revealed a decisive expression as he looked slightly unwillingly at Zhao Feng and sent him a message; "Please take Young Lady and Young Master to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race on the Green Winged Wolves. The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race will definitely give good compensation!"


    The Green Jade Sheep Race obviously didn''t put any hope on an outsider helping them to the death, so Uncle Qing hoped that Zhao Feng could at least help protect Yu Lin''er and the young master to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race and promised plentiful compensation.


    "Hehe, even if these two have the main bloodline of the Green Jade Sheep Race, a four-star force like the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race won''t look at them¡­." the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon laughed and said. It was obvious that Uncle Qing was tricking Zhao Feng; the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would definitely not give Zhao Feng anything for taking the direct descendants of the Green Jade Sheep Race to safety.


    Zhao Feng didn''t reply. All he did was look up at the Black Scaled Ice Eagle in the sky.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng didn''t reply, Uncle Qing could guess that Zhao Feng knew that he was tricking him.


    "Could it be that the heavens want the Green Jade Spirit Race to become extinct?" Uncle Qing looked at the Black Scaled Ice Eagle in the sky with eyes of hatred.


    However, a wisp of purple-and-gold suddenly flashed through Zhao Feng''s eye at this moment.


    Shu~~~


    The Black Scaled Ice Eagle suddenly started to scream in fear. The Black Scaled Ice Eagle lowered its head in the air, as if it was bowing and admitting to its wrongdoings.


    Hu!


    The Black Scaled Ice Eagle then flapped its wings and sped off while the entire Green Jade Sheep Race stood there, dazed. Only Uncle Qing and Yu Lin''er glanced at Zhao Feng.


    That wisp of faint eye-bloodline power just now¡­ Uncle Qing''s heart jumped. He felt a wisp of eye-bloodline power radiate from Zhao Feng''s body right before the Black Scaled Ice Eagle started to act weird.


    Although the eye-bloodline power was very faint, it was very strong. If his guesses were correct, this golden-haired male that joined their group midway was very likely a peak Mystic Light Realm expert. Only peak Mystic Light Realm experts would be able to scare off a Black Scaled Ice Eagle at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm with invisible momentum.


    "Young Lady, you sensed it as well?" Uncle Qing messaged Yu Lin''er. Yu Lin''er had a secret treasure from their ancestors and should have sensed Zhao Feng taking action. Only Uncle Qing and the young master knew of this.


    "Don''t expose it! This senior should have no ill intentions!" Yu Lin''er looked toward Zhao Feng with gratitude.


    "Then continue on our way!" Uncle Qing said. The Green Jade Sheep Race then reorganized themselves and prepared to head forward. There was only five days left till they would arrive at their destination.


    "What happened just now?"


    "I didn''t think that the Black Scaled Ice Eagle would let us off!"


    Some members of the group discussed with each another.


    At this moment, Yu Lin''er walked out of her carriage.


    "Young Sir Zhao, why don''t you come and rest in the carriage? I hope you don''t mind the troubles on the way!" Yu Lin''er said shyly. She was pretty and had a pair of horns on her head that radiated a faint light.

 1146 Esteemed Gues

    Chapter 1146 - Esteemed Guest


    "Young Sir Zhao, why don''t you come and rest in the carriage? I hope you don''t mind the troubles on the way!" Yu Lin''er said shyly.


    Apart from Uncle Qing, everyone else stood in a complete daze. Why would Young Lady invite a human into her carriage? Although Yu Lin''er had also invited Uncle Qing to rest before, Uncle Qing was the strongest expert of their group and had protected her the entire way to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. He had done a lot of hard work.


    On the other hand, this human who joined halfway had contributed nothing. He didn''t even help when the Green Jade Sheep Race was attacked. This left a bad impression of Zhao Feng on the other members of the Green Jade Sheep Race, but now, the Young Lady invited this person into the carriage? The other members of the Green Jade Sheep Race didn''t understand.


    "Could Young Lady have taken a liking to this person?" a member of the Green Jade Sheep Race guessed.


    There was no discrimination between races in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. After all, there were countless bloodlines, and some of the powerful races only had a couple dozen members alive. Therefore, interracial marriages were very common.


    "Sure!" Zhao Feng hesitated for a moment before replying.


    The materials of the carriage were extremely unique. There was even an array in it that blocked the inside off from the outside world. Zhao Feng smelled an elegant sensation when he entered the carriage, and it seemed able to calm the mind.


    "Thank you for helping a moment ago, Senior! The Green Jade Sheep Race is eternally grateful!" Yu Lin''er bowed respectfully. If it wasn''t for Zhao Feng scaring the Black Scaled Ice Eagle away, the entire Green Jade Sheep Race might have been killed.


    "Liu Yun, quickly greet Senior!" Yu Lin urged her brother on the side.


    "Greetings, Senior!" The young master of the Green Jade Sheep Race on the side bowed with respect. In his eyes, his sister''s cultivation was already very high; someone that her sister called "Senior" must be incredible.


    "It was just a small matter!" Zhao Feng didn''t put it to heart. Everything came in cycles; if Yu Lin''er didn''t help Zhao Feng earlier, Zhao Feng wouldn''t have been able to help them this time.


    "Senior''s goal this time is to find a detailed map?" Yu Lin''er asked.


    "That''s right!" Zhao Feng immediately said.


    "If Senior doesn''t mind, you can have a look at the Green Jade Sheep Race''s map!" Yu Lin''er pointed out with her finger, and a ball of light entered Zhao Feng''s forehead.


    "This map only contains part of Sky Feather Island. According to the size of this map, it''s roughly one hundredth the size of a zone¡­." the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s ears.


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was extremely big, and every map was extremely precious. They were important to the bloodline races and weren''t usually revealed to others.


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was split into eighteen zones, each at least hundreds or thousands of times bigger than the continent zone. Sky Feather Island, which was contained in the Green Jade Sheep Race''s map, was the size of the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty.


    "One island is the same size as the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty!?" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped, and he couldn''t believe what the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said. No wonder they still hadn''t reached their destination even after continuing for two months ¨C the size of Sky Feather Island was just that big.


    "Does Lady Lin''er know what zone Sky Feather Island belongs to?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "Zone? I heard father say the Gulong Zone, but I''m not sure about anything else!" Yu Lin''er was stunned. Back then, her father said that anyone who mentioned the word "zone" was an expert in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Over the last couple years, Zhao Feng was the first to say the word "zone" to her. Yu Lin''er couldn''t help but become even more respectful toward Zhao Feng.


    "Hehehe, so it''s the Gulong Zone. This chick at least knows which zone she''s in. Looks like she knows some stuff!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon laughed.


    Zhao Feng rolled his eyes at the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. The Green Jade Sheep Race was a three-star power, but in the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes, it was like a normal village.


    However, from the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s summary, Zhao Feng could feel how big the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was. A three-star race like the Green Jade Sheep Race was limited to just Sky Feather Island and some nearby areas, which was why the map only marked such a small range.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, how long would it take to reach the zone where the Spiritual Race lives from here?" Zhao Feng thought of a question and asked it.


    "Hehehe, with your current speed, you''ll need at least a thousand years." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon laughed.


    At least a thousand years!? Zhao Feng''s mind shook. He had spent less than fifty years cultivating, but it would take him at least a thousand years to reach the Spiritual Race? And that was without any accidents along the way.


    "Furthermore, the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods is full of danger. Many places are ruled by powerful forces that won''t even let you pass!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon kept laughing as he continued to speak.


    "So, you should join a force and increase your strength to the Heavenly Divine Realm first. Only True Gods are able to travel across zones!"


    Zhao Feng learned his lesson this time. Only True Gods had the right to travel across zones! He felt the importance of strength once more after listening to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. Without strength, one couldn''t even travel!


    "Okay, then we shall stay at the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race for now!"


    Zhao Feng had become slightly cocky after ruling over the continent zone. Now that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon told Zhao Feng about the situation of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Zhao Feng felt that he was extremely small, as if he had returned to the past.


    "Senior, did you find the directions home?" Yu Lin''er asked.


    "I did, but the journey is kind of far. I will most likely need to remain behind in the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race for a while!" Zhao Feng smiled helplessly.


    The size of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods exceeded Zhao Feng''s imaginations, and the law of the jungle was more prominent in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Yu Lin''er''s expression fell, but then lit back up. She had originally been thinking about whether this senior could help the Green Jade Sheep Race take back their territory since he seemed to be even stronger than Uncle Qing, but then she understood ¨C stuff like this was better done by the Green Jade Sheep Race themselves.


    At this moment, a faint golden light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes, and Yu Lin''er also seemed to sense something. Several dozen experts of the Giant Spirit Deer Race could be seen when they opened the curtains, and t hey were heading toward the Green Jade Sheep Race.


    The leading elder wore yellow clothes and had a cocky expression. His eyes seemed to be made from lightning as he stood with his hands behind his back on a flying bird. The powerful aura of the Mystic Light Realm radiated from his body, and an invisible surge of power descended upon the Green Jade Sheep Race. This reduced the speed of the Green Jade Sheep Race until they finally stopped.


    Uncle Qing and Yu Lin''er revealed angered expressions the instant they saw this elder in yellow while the other members revealed scared expressions. They started to panic and didn''t know what to do. This elder was the Second Elder of the Giant Spirit Deer Race and was extremely deadly; he had killed the most members of the Green Jade Sheep Race.


    "Hehehe, we finally managed to catch up to you!" The elder in yellow revealed an excited and cold smile. If they were just a little bit slower, the Green Jade Sheep Race would have entered the territory of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, but now that they managed to catch up, everyone from the Green Jade Sheep Race would die.


    "Giant Spirit Deer Race!" Killing intent was released from Uncle Qing. He wanted to charge forward and slay this elder from the Giant Spirit Deer Race, but he was heavily injured after the long journey and various dangers they had to face. He was definitely not a match right now. Furthermore, even though the Giant Spirit Deer Race had less people, their overall strength was several tiers stronger than the Green Jade Sheep Race.


    "Kill them all!" the elder in yellow said emotionlessly with an arrogant expression. Several members from the Giant Spirit Deer Race immediately started to circulate their True Yuan and were about to commerce a slaughter.


    "Although the Green Jade Sheep Race does indeed have a deep feud with you, there is an esteemed guest within the carriage right now. Don''t get too cocky!" At this moment, Yu Lin''er walked out and spoke in an angry tone.


    "Hahaha, why don''t you say that the carriage contains a peak Mystic light Realm expert or even a True God!" The elder in yellow laughed and completely ignored what Yu Lin''er said. If the Green Jade Sheep Race really had an esteemed guest, how come they were slaughtered by the Giant Spirit Race and only had this many people remaining?


    At this instant, war broke out between the two races. Those from the Giant Spirit Deer Race had already surrounded those from the Green Jade Sheep Race before the elder in yellow even did anything. Although the carriage had a defensive array, it had been damaged in the fight, and the carriage kept shaking.


    Right at this moment, a heavy Mystic Light Realm aura spread from the flying bird beneath the yellow-clad elder''s feet as it descended.


    "Senior, please help the Green Jade Sheep Race!" Yu Lin''er expression changed dramatically as she knelt in the air. There was nothing else she could do apart from putting her hopes on Zhao Feng.


    "Fuck off!" A sudden, calm yet powerful voice sounded from the carriage as an invisible physical force spread through Heaven and Earth, covering the sound of everything.


    The yellow elder that had just jumped into the air froze and spat out a mouthful of blood as he looked at the carriage in utter disbelief. The hearts of the other Giant Spirit Deer Race members shook as they coughed out blood as well and were sent flying backward.


    At the same time, those from the Green Jade Sheep Race were dazed. A humming noise resounded across their minds, as if they couldn''t understand what was happening. Everything in Heaven and Earth had become dead-silent!


    "This¡­ Senior, spare me!" The yellow-clad elder''s mind shook as he remembered the alleged esteemed guest that Yu Lin''er mentioned. He didn''t expect that to be real. Just two words from that mysterious esteemed guest had severely injured his body and soul while all the others had been killed. Only peak Mystic Light Realm experts could have such strength.


    Those from the Green Jade Sheep Race suddenly remembered Zhao Feng within the carriage and all took in cold breaths.


    Yu Lin''er finally let out a breath and looked toward Zhao Feng within the carriage with gratitude. He had a calm expression and his eyes were shut, as if he didn''t want to bother with what was happening in the outside world.


    "Kill him and take revenge for our family!" At this moment, Yu Lin''er looked at the elder in yellow with decisiveness.


    "Kill the Second Elder of the Giant Spirit Deer Race!"


    "Kill him and take revenge for our family!"


    Everyone from the Green Jade Shape Race instantly charged over. The elder in yellow, who was now heavily injured, didn''t even have time to run; he was killed after being chased for a short distance.


    "Continue on our way!" Zhao Feng''s voice sounded from within the carriage.

 1147 Humiliation

    Chapter 1147 - Humiliation


    "Continue on our way!" Zhao Feng''s voice sounded from within the carriage.


    Young Master Liu Yun looked at Zhao Feng with starry eyes. It was obvious that he was in awe. Although he was young, he still knew a bit about the family; it was because of the Giant Spirit Deer Race that his parents had died and that he was escaping to another place with his sister. In addition, experts ruled the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Everyone loved experts.


    "Thank you, Senior!" Yu Lin''er slowly calmed down and entered the carriage. With this senior''s strength, he should have been able to easily kill the Second Elder of the Giant Spirit Deer Race, but he only severely injured the Second Elder and let the clansmen of the Green Jade Sheep Race finish the deed. This made Yu Lin''er especially grateful to Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, the members of the Green Jade Sheep Race focused on the "senior" within the carriage. None of them expected that this person who joined their cohort halfway and seemed to be afraid of death was a peerless expert. Those that were cold to Zhao Feng earlier felt their hearts shake, and they were full of regret.


    "Senior Zhao''s strength is indeed great or else he wouldn''t travel alone!" Man Zi revealed a respectful expression.


    "Let''s go!"


    The group continued forward after reorganizing themselves, but the atmosphere of the group was extremely solemn after the event. Almost no discussion was heard.


    Several days quickly passed, and now that they were so close to the territory of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, they weren''t ambushed by beasts anymore.


    "Senior, we''re here!" Yu Lin''er was very respectful.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes slowly opened, and an invisible surge of soul power spread. Although Zhao Feng didn''t cultivate much on the way, Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan within the Misty Spatial World never stopped. Zhao Feng realized that his own Soul Intent would strengthen along with Zhao Wang''s and Zhao Wan''s. Furthermore, as long as the distance between them wasn''t very far, their soul power could be transferred to each another.


    It is a soul cultivation technique, after all. Even if they are my clones, they are still helpful to my own soul! Zhao Feng thought in his heart. This meant that any decrease in Zhao Feng''s soul strength could be completely ignored.


    "I''ll follow you into the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s territory!" Zhao Feng said. After all, if Zhao Feng was alone, he would be considered suspicious to the various forces in this place. Entering the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s territory with the Green Jade Sheep Race would be much simpler.


    Zhao Feng saw a magnificent golden palace in the mountains after exiting the carriage. It gave off an ancient battle-intent.


    The members of the Green Jade Sheep Race stood there respectfully as excitement and longing appeared in their eyes.


    "Who''s there?" Two members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race flew over at this moment. These two people had large bodies and golden-red hair. They also had a pair of golden-red horns and cold eyes.


    "We are from the Green Jade Sheep Race, and we come under the order of our race''s seniors to visit an Elder of your esteemed race!" Uncle Qing handed over a letter with a solemn expression.


    Normal three-star powers didn''t have the right to join a four-star power, but the patriarch of the Green Jade Sheep Race had a relationship with an upper echelon member of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. This time, the Green Jade Sheep Race came with a letter to seek protection from this Elder of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    Whoosh!


    One of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race members quickly headed back. Soon afterward, the other member of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race took out a token and read a message on it before leading the group inside.


    Zhao Feng inspected his surroundings on the way.


    Although the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was a four-star power, they weren''t something that could be compared with the Grand Imperial Hall or Sky Suspension Palace from the continent zone. After all, a true four-star power was a force with True Gods. Just one True God from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would probably be enough to wipe out all the fake four-star forces of the continent zone.


    The mature members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race were mainly at the early stages of the Void God Realm. The core members were all at least at the peak of the Void God Realm.


    In the continent zone, early-stage Void God Realms were called Kings and peak Void God Realms were called Emperors. However, the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods didn''t have titles like Kings, Emperors, or Sacred Lords. After all, an early-stage Void God Realm would only be considered a low-middle echelon member in the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. Even peak Void God Realms could only be considered mid-high echelon members. Identities like those weren''t enough to be called a King or an Emperor.


    "Stay here for now. When Elder Si has time, he will see you!" The person guiding them didn''t even look at them as he spoke casually and left. From his point of view, even if he was just a guard, his status was more noble than the upper echelon members of a three-star power.


    Those from the Green Jade Sheep Race looked at the old worn houses in front of them with anger. Such treatment was basically on par with the servants of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    "Let''s just stay here for now. At least we''re safe!" Uncle Qing said with a smile.


    If one didn''t have strength in this world, all they could do was hold it in. Their group of little more than a dozen was extremely small in front of a four-star race like the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. Letting the Green Jade Sheep Race stay here was already being extremely respectful on their part.


    "Senior, sorry!" Yu Lin''er said apologetically.


    "It''s fine." Zhao Feng didn''t mind at all. He randomly chose a room and started to cultivate.


    "The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods is several times the amount in the continent zone, but the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in this four-star force is even more concentrated!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly. This place was one of the best cultivating places he had seen in his life so far.


    "Hehe, any four-star power in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods will have a crystal mine, so the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi will be purer and more concentrated!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon smiled and said.


    "So that''s why!" Zhao Feng suddenly understood why the difference between three-star and four-star powers in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was so big. An entire crystal mine was enough to change the fate of a race, but one had to have enough strength to protect it.


    This made the strong forces in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods extremely strong while the weaker ones were like dust.


    Four stars was a huge threshold. Three-star forces were at the very bottom in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and two-star forces were basically ants, but once one became a four-star power, they would be considered a strong force that could rule over a certain area and all the two-star and three-star races.


    "Hehehe, I have an entire substandard God Crystal mine in the Ancient Dream Realm!" Zhao Feng felt smug.


    Zhao Feng used his substandard God Crystal mine for two things. The first was to supply himself with cultivating resources while the second was to strengthen the beasts inside the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and started to cultivate. Now that he was in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, his main goal was to consolidate his strength.


    Zhao Feng found that he could improve many aspects of himself after coming to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, so he didn''t rush to break through to the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm. As for Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body, it was already at the 7th level ¨C the level of True Gods ¨C so it would be hard to make any improvements for a while.


    Zhao Feng took out a few substandard God crystals and some precious ancient resources, then absorbed them with the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    Zhao Feng felt that cultivating here was extremely smooth. His cultivation speed had doubled, and surges of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi merged into Zhao Feng''s body. Zhao Feng was also able to use resources more efficiently.


    Meanwhile, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within the Misty Spatial World was now on par with the outside world. Zhao Wang, Zhao Wan, the little thieving cat, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were all cultivating in it. Zhao Wang''s cultivation was the lowest amongst them, but that only gave him the chance to make his foundation stronger.


    As for the little thieving cat, it had been in seclusion ever since entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, which surprised Zhao Feng. Upon closer inspection, Zhao Feng could sense the aura of an ancient bloodline within the little thieving cat''s body more clearly, and the little thieving cat''s cultivation was increasing rapidly.


    "As I thought, the background of this cat is not simple. It has such a unique bloodline!" Zhao Feng used part of his energy and focused on the little thieving cat.


    Because cultivating was so smooth and there was no one there to disturb him, Zhao Feng stayed in seclusion. Time flowed like water and a month soon passed, but the Green Jade Sheep Race never saw the so-called Elder Si.


    One day, Zhao Feng felt that the outside world was full of urgent noises, and he finally opened his eyes.


    ¡­


    The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had many martial arts fields and arenas. At this moment, several hundred members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race gathered around the edges of a martial arts field. Of course, there were also members of other races present; the forces behind these people had paid heavy prices in order to send them to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race to cultivate.


    In the very center of the group was Liu Yun from the Green Jade Sheep Race. Blood was leaking from the corner of his mouth as he looked around helplessly.


    "Brat, what race are you from? How come I''ve never seen you before?" A youth in white clothes with golden-red sheep horns had a playful smile.


    "He better not have snuck in!" A large-headed youth in green spoke next to the youth in white.


    Several cronies immediately agreed. These members were all descendants of the Elders or Regulators within the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. The youth in white was called Si Jinhua, a descendant of Si Liuhan ¨C the Second Elder of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    These people bullied the members of other races and would cause trouble whenever they felt like it. Coincidentally, they met Liu Yun today.


    "Secretly watching members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race train is forbidden!" Si Jinhua said with a faint smile as he tried to scare Liu Yun.


    The members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race nearby instantly started to laugh. Only a small amount of people looked at Liu Yun with sympathy.


    "I''ll teach you a lesson today so that you won''t break the rules again in the future!" Si Jinhua laughed in a deadly manner, and the other members of the race nearby prepared to take action.


    "Stop!" Uncle Qing flew over at this moment and released a strong power that pushed these people aside. The other members of the Green Jade Sheep Race, including Yu Lin''er, also arrived.


    "Liu Yun, are you okay?" Yu Lin''er looked at Liu Yun with panic.


    Si Jinhua''s expression changed slightly when he felt this pressure, but he revealed a faint smile after inspecting the group of people that just arrived.


    "So, it''s this group of trash. Great Grandfather is just too shy to force you away. I didn''t think that you were all still here!" Si Jinhua laughed. He had heard his great grandfather talk about the Green Jade Sheep Race before.


    The expressions of the Green Jade Sheep Race members changed dramatically when they heard this. They obviously knew what he meant and felt extremely humiliated. However, since this was the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s territory and this youth in white, who was only at the Great Origin Core Realm, was the descendant of Elder Si, the Green Jade Sheep Race wouldn''t dare to touch him even if they had ten thousand more guts.


    "Hmm? That chick doesn''t look too bad. If you give her to me, I can ask Great Grandfather to take care of you!" Si Jinhua''s eyes travelled across Yu Lin''er''s body.


    "You¡­!" Uncle Qing''s expression turned to anger as he started radiating killing intent.


    "You dare to touch me?" Si Jinhua puffed out his chest. He wasn''t scared of the pressure of a Mystic Light Realm expert at all, and he even had a sign of disdain.


    Hu~


    A black-armored male hiding in darkness immediately appeared next to Si Jinhua and unleashed a fiery red light that pushed back Uncle Qing by several yards. It was obvious that this person was an expert assigned to protect Si Jinhua in secret.


    "Hei San, you''ve come just in time. Apart from that woman, teach all the others a lesson!" Si Jinhua harrumphed coldly as his gaze landed on Yu Lin''er once more.

 1148 Displaying his Strength

    Chapter 1148 - Displaying his Strength


    "Uncle Qing!"


    "Uncle Qing, are you okay?"


    The members of the Green Jade Sheep Race had urgent expressions as they gathered around Uncle Qing.


    Uncle Qing had a grim expression as he looked at this black-armored male with furrowed eyebrows. Urgency flashed through his eyes; the cultivation of this opponent should be at the early stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but Hei San was no ordinary Mystic Light Realm. He was a Mystic Light Realm expert from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race and Si Jinhua''s personal bodyguard, so his strength should be much greater than normal early-stage Mystic Light Realms.


    Uncle Qing''s injuries still hadn''t fully recovered yet, so he obviously wasn''t Hei San''s match. What Uncle Qing didn''t expect though was that Hei San had attacked at full force just now without holding anything back at all. This proved that what Si Jinhua said a moment ago was true; Elder Si Liuhan, who they were here to seek protection from, didn''t even put them in their eyes and just wanted to use this chance to squeeze out the potential of the Green Jade Sheep Race.


    Uncle Qing was even wondering whether Si Jinhua caused trouble with the Green Jade Sheep Race under the orders of Si Liuhan. No matter what, Uncle Qing understood that they couldn''t stay with the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race anymore. In this world, no strength meant no relationship.


    "Sorry, the Green Jade Sheep Race shouldn''t have interrupted you!" Although they did nothing wrong, Uncle Qing had to apologize to Hei San, Si Jinhua, and company.


    "Young Lady, Young Master, let''s leave this place!" Uncle Qing said.


    The others weren''t dumb either. They obviously knew that staying behind would be the same as facing the Giant Spirit Deer Race.


    "Hmph, you just tried to attack my young master, and now you want to leave just like that?" Hei San laughed coldly and spoke in a forceful tone.


    The nearby disciples all seemed to sense something and started to retreat.


    "What?" The expressions of the Green Jade Sheep Race members changed dramatically. From the beginning, it was Si Jinhua troubling the Green Jade Sheep Race, but they weren''t letting Uncle Qing leave after he apologized?


    "Come with me and admit your sins to Elder Si!" Hei San revealed a disdainful expression as fiery red Mystic Light Sacred Power spread from his palms and increased the temperature of Heaven and Earth.


    "Blazing Fire Sky Pole Hand!" Hei San''s hands expanded and turned into a pair of fiery red beast claws, and they radiated a heart-shaking deadly aura.


    Uncle Qing''s expression instantly turned to panic. Hei San''s cultivation was a level higher than his, and he wasn''t at his peak state either. He was definitely not Hei San''s match. Furthermore, they were still in the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s territory; once they took action, the entire Green Jade Sheep Race would be punished.


    Whoosh!


    Hei San''s figure flashed toward Uncle Qing with dark red fiery claws.


    Right at this moment, a dark yellow bolt of lightning flashed in front of Uncle Qing.


    Boom!


    A strong surge of physical force and lightning spread. Everyone on the martial arts field felt a terrifying and heavy pressure descend upon them. They became unable to move, and their True Yuan and bloodlines almost completely froze.


    "Arghh¡­!" Hei San screamed as his arms were shattered by the dominating power. His figure was thrown back into a hall several hundred yards away.


    Bam!


    Hei San spat out a mouthful of blood as he looked at Zhao Feng in shock. Although he had a Sacred Body, his two arms showed no signs of recovering.


    One had to know that Zhao Feng''s state of existence had reached the level of a True God, and it contained the Destructive power of God Tribulation Lightning. The body of a measly early-stage Mystic Light Realm was useless against Zhao Feng.


    "This¡­ Senior Zhao!" Uncle Qing''s expression shook as he looked at Zhao Feng. He was shocked by Zhao Feng''s power, but then, Uncle Qing gave a deep sigh. They were in the territory of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race! After attacking a member of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, Zhao Feng would not be able to leave here alive. Since Zhao Feng was brought here by the Green Jade Sheep Race, the Green Jade Sheep Race would also be implicated.


    However, even if Zhao Feng didn''t do anything, the Green Jade Sheep Race wouldn''t have been able to survive.


    "Who are you? How dare you attack the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race?" Si Jinhua revealed panic for the first time. The strength of this human wasn''t to be underestimated; he was able to defeat in Hei San in a single move.


    Right at this moment, several powerful auras appeared from deeper within the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s territory.


    Hu~ Hu~


    The sound of flying appeared as six Mystic Light Realm experts of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race arrived at the martial arts field.


    "Who dares to act as they wish in the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race?" The leading Elder had a fiery-hot gaze and a goatee as he looked at Zhao Feng in anger.


    In this Elder''s eyes, the strength of this golden-haired male was at least at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm for him to be able to defeat Hei San in one move. On top of that, his strength was probably greater than others of the same cultivation.


    However, this was the territory of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. The Elder had five more Mystic Light Realm experts next to him. No matter how strong this golden-haired male was, he wouldn''t be a match for them.


    "Fifth Elder, quickly kill this person. He dares to challenge the superiority of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race!" Si Jinhua pointed at Zhao Feng and immediately said.


    Those from the Green Jade Sheep Race instantly revealed looks of despair. They didn''t expect six Mystic Light Realm experts of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race to appear right after Zhao Feng took action.


    This Elder with a goatee was the Fifth Elder of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, and he had reached the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm. His strength was immeasurable.


    However, what they didn''t expect was Zhao Feng to be even more forceful.


    "How dare you act like this in front of me!?" Zhao Feng''s golden hair blew as he swept his cold eyes over the people in front of him.


    He had been in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods for a while now, so he started to adapt to this place. Strength was the source of everything; the weak could only be humiliated. It was time for Zhao Feng to display his strength and obtain some resources from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    After all, aside from himself, Zhao Feng still had the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, who was a bottomless hole for resources. He was already starting to lack resources.


    "What? You¡­!?" The expression of the Fifth Elder changed slightly as he became enraged. Zhao Feng basically copied what he said but acted in an even tougher manner.


    Even those from the Green Jade Sheep Race were dazed as they looked at Zhao Feng in shock. Zhao Feng was extremely forceful and still composed even in front of six Mystic Light Realm experts. They didn''t know whether or not it was because Zhao Feng didn''t know how death was written or if he was truly that strong.


    "Who is this person? What kind of bloodline does he have to act like this?"


    "Regardless, he doesn''t know how high Heaven is or how thick Earth is. How dare he act like this in front of the Fifth Elder!?"


    Some of the surrounding Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race members discussed. They were either in shock or started to mock Zhao Feng.


    "Fine. Today, I''ll teach you a lesson on what it means to offend me!" the Fifth Elder roared in anger.


    Hu!


    The Fifth Elder and the other five Mystic Light Realm experts circulated their Mystic Light Sacred Power and immediately took action. A surge of terrifying aura spread across the martial arts field. Anyone below the Mystic Light Realm immediately retreated several hundred yards and hid into nearby buildings.


    Only the six Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race members and Zhao Feng remained behind on the martial arts field.


    "Hmph, that human is definitely going to die!" Si Jinhua harrumphed coldly as he looked at Zhao Feng in disdain, but in the next instant, his expression changed dramatically and he froze.


    Boom! Boom! Peng!


    The five other Mystic Light Realm experts from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race were slammed to the ground by a pressure as heavy as Mount Tai when they approached Zhao Feng. No matter how they struggled, they were unable to break free. As for the Fifth Elder, he coughed out blood after being sent flying with one punch.


    Six Mystic Light Realm Elders of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race were defeated by Zhao Feng in one move. The entire martial arts field was enveloped by a dark yellow force of lightning, and the tough ground started to shatter inch by inch.


    The clansmen hiding in the surrounding buildings had wide-open mouths as they looked at what just happened with disbelief.


    "Senior Zhao¡­" Yu Lin''er''s expression changed dramatically as she covered her mouth with her hand. Next to her, Liu Yun looked at Zhao Feng with a fiery gaze.


    "How is this possible¡­ you¡­?" The Fifth Elder clutched his chest as shock appeared on his face.


    Zhao Feng suppressed five early-stage Mystic Light Realms and heavily injured a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm expert with one punch the instant he took action. How was this possible? Based on the Fifth Elder''s senses, the cultivation of this golden-haired male was only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. Could his true cultivation be at the Heavenly Divine Realm and he was just hiding his strength?


    He obviously couldn''t know that Zhao Feng was already able to suppress Demigods in the continent zone many years ago. After entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Zhao Feng''s state of existence had reached the level of a True God. This meant that his physical attacks were also strengthened.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with the Fifth Elder. He simply merged an invisible Intent into the air.


    Hu~~


    Wind and clouds blew in the sky as a hand of lightning formed and grabbed toward Si Jinhua not far away.


    "Senior¡­ spare me!" At this moment, Si Jinhua felt a strong sense of death. The strength that Zhao Feng displayed utterly shocked him; after all, he was only at the Great Origin Core Realm.


    "You dare to touch Jinhua?" a roar sounded from a golden building.


    Whoosh!


    A dark green figure instantly appeared between Zhao Feng and Si Jinhua.


    Boom! Peng!


    This elder immediately took action and prepared to save Si Jinhua from Zhao Feng.


    "Second Elder!" On the side, the Fifth Elder revealed a joyful expression. Apart from himself, the other Elders of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had all touched the power of the Heavenly Divine Realm and were Demigods. In particular, Second Elder Si Liuhan was an elite even amongst Demigods.


    "Hehe!" Zhao Feng laughed coldly as he moved his Intent.


    Si Jinhua thought that he would be safe after his great grandfather arrived.


    Boom!


    But in the next moment, his body exploded.


    This scene shocked everyone.


    "Senior Zhao¡­!" Uncle Qing''s voice started to shake. He originally thought that Zhao Feng would earn the right to negotiate with the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race after defeating the Fifth Elder and revealing his strength. The Green Jade Sheep Race might be able to escape as well.


    However, Zhao Feng suddenly killed Si Liuhan''s descendant even after the latter arrived. Such an action was the same as infuriating and challenging Si Liuhan directly. Why would Senior Zhao do such a dumb thing?


    But what Uncle Qing expected didn''t happen.


    "What is the meaning of this?" Si Liuhan looked at Zhao Feng with a cold and wary gaze. This golden-haired male still killed Si Jinhua even after seeing that he was coming. This scared Si Liuhan.


    Although Si Jinhua was a descendant of his, Si Jinhua was weak and useless. Si Liuhan wouldn''t lose his mind over his descendant''s death.


    Right at this moment, an old god-like voice sounded from a dark golden palace in the forbidden grounds of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s territory.


    "Tell him to come see me!"

 1149 Respec

    Chapter 1149 - Respect


    "Patriarch!"


    The members of the family present on the martial arts field all lowered their heads in respect, as if they were bowing to an emperor. No one expected that a small issue between two Origin Core Realm disciples would have raised the attention of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race Patriarch.


    "Come with me!" Si Liuhan looked coldly at Zhao Feng and spoke.


    Whoosh!


    The two figures then disappeared.


    In the forbidden grounds of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was a golden palace. Although this place was forbidden, there were no guards around or any defensive arrays. This was because the patriarch of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race himself was the strongest.


    Any four-star power in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods needed at least one True God. In the eyes of two-star and three-star forces, True God experts were the real experts of the realm. Just one word from a True God could decide their fate.


    Within a spacious yet quiet golden hall:


    "Patriarch, I''ve brought him!" The Second Elder stood respectfully to the side.


    At the front of the hall was an elder with white hair and a withered aura. This person was the Patriarch of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, True God Sky Fire.


    His eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of golden light looked at Zhao Feng with limitless force.


    "Human, what is your goal in causing trouble in the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race and injuring my clansmen?" True God Sky Fire''s voice resounded across the hall.


    The entire hall seemed to freeze. Just raising one''s hand or foot required one to face this massive pressure. The Second Elder felt that even breathing was difficult, but Zhao Feng had a calm expression and steady aura.


    "This one just wants to obtain some resources from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race by relying on my strength!" Zhao Feng got straight to the point and looked at True God Sky Fire.


    Since he had been in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods for a while now, Zhao Feng basically understood the rules of this world.


    According to his guesses, True God Sky Fire should be a relatively old Rank One True God. If True God Sky Fire had a divine weapon, then his strength would probably be even greater than True God Tian Fan when he descended to the continent zone.


    A Rank One True God was enough to wipe out the entire continent zone, but Zhao Feng wasn''t the Zhao Feng from back then anymore. At the very least, if he focused on running, there was nothing a Rank One True God could do to him.


    "What do you want?" True God Sky Fire''s eyebrows furrowed together.


    No force would reject experts. As long as one wasn''t from an opposing force and was strong enough, they could work together. The strength that Zhao Feng just displayed a moment ago easily surpassed normal Demigods. His true strength was probably on par with the race''s First Elder.


    "One: cultivation resources. Two: the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s map!" Zhao Feng told them what he wanted.


    "Patriarch, this person''s background is unclear and very likely might be a spy sent by other races. We should do a thorough search first before coming to a decision!" Si Liuhan immediately said.


    It was obvious that he didn''t like Zhao Feng''s attitude. Furthermore, Zhao Feng had slain one of his descendants in front of so many people, which made him lose a lot of face. Although he wasn''t confident that he could defeat Zhao Feng personally, the patriarch was present, so he was obviously thinking about how to frighten Zhao Feng.


    "This one comes from a place very far away and knows nothing about this place at all. That''s why I want the map in the first place," Zhao Feng said with a calm expression.


    "Brat, maps are extremely important and precious in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. They are a symbol of status, and they aren''t easily obtained!" True God Sky Fire said with interest.


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was filled with countless dangers, and nature was everchanging, so a detailed map was extremely useful. Furthermore, every inch of land was being fought over at every moment by different races or powers, so the more recent the map, the more precious it was.


    "If that''s the case, then I will just have to go to some other race nearby!" Zhao Feng said with a smile and prepared to leave.


    "Test him out!" Sky Fire True God messaged Si Liuhan.


    "Do you think this is a place you can enter and leave as you wish?" Si Liuhan''s face turned cold as a golden spear appeared in his hand.


    "Golden Flow Raging Howl!" Si Liuhan waved the flaming golden spear, and golden flames that could melt anything instantly appeared around him.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Golden waves filled the sky and charged toward Zhao Feng.


    "Substandard God weapon!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed.


    Substandard God weapons would only appear once every couple dozen millennia in the continent zone. Only a small number of Demigods had one. However, the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was different. Most Demigods had substandard God weapons, and sometimes, they even had more than one. The one that Si Liuhan had was of a very high grade.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s figure flashed toward the flame-covered Si Liuhan.


    "What?" Si Liuhan''s expression changed dramatically. He originally thought that Zhao Feng would at least take out a weapon to fight back, but Zhao Feng was charging toward his attack with bare fists.


    Boom!


    Golden flames churned and lightning blew as Si Liuhan''s figure slammed into a wall. Since the hall was under the protection of True God Sky Fire, no damage was done.


    "How is this possible?" Si Liuhan''s expression turned to shock.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng looked at the spear in his hands with a smile. This spear was Si Liuhan''s substandard God weapon. In the exchange just now, Si Liuhan was defeated in one move, and even his substandard God weapon was taken by Zhao Feng.


    Si Liuhan was utterly shocked, and cold sweat poured down his back. He originally thought that, although Zhao Feng could defeat the Fifth Elder in just one move, he was only a bit stronger than the Elder. However, Si Liuhan was defeated in one move as well, just like the Fifth Elder.


    Whoosh!


    The substandard God weapon was put into the Misty Spatial World by Zhao Feng.


    "Thank you for the present, Elder Si. I''ll be going now!" Zhao Feng laughed, then continued to leave.


    Since his state of existence had reached the level of a True God, attacks from anyone weaker than a True God wouldn''t do much damage to him. Even though he was in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods now, that was still the same.


    "Little Friend, slow down. Your strength is enough to obtain the map of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race!" True God Sky Fire said with a faint smile.


    Just now, he purposely let Si Liuhan test out Zhao Feng''s true strength, but he could only see one thing from the exchange, and that was a Divine Body. Although Zhao Feng was only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, his state of existence had reached the level of a True God. He cultivated a profound body-strengthening technique, allowing his body to be on par with a Divine Body. It was because of this that Zhao Feng was able to completely ignore Si Liuhan''s attack and steal his substandard God weapon.


    "I just remembered that I''m still lacking a few weapons!" Zhao Feng stopped and revealed a cunning smile.


    Si Liuhan lowered his head in embarrassment. His substandard God weapon had been taken away by Zhao Feng, and now the latter was saying that he still lacked weapons?


    "Little Friend Zhao doesn''t need to worry about that!" True God Sky Fire hesitated for a moment before saying with a faint smile.


    "Okay, then I''ll be waiting!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly and bowed before leaving.


    "Patriarch, no one knows the history of that brat, and he''s extremely greedy. Do we really need to borrow his power?" Si Liuhan was slightly unhappy. After losing his substandard God weapon, Si Liuhan might not even a match for the Third Elder now.


    "His strength is greater than you think, and the current situation of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race isn''t very good¡­." Helplessness flashed through True God Sky Fire''s eyes as he sighed lightly.


    After leaving the forbidden grounds, Zhao Feng relocated. The Green Jade Sheep Race was also fine, and they received better treatment from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    Eventually, everyone from the Green Jade Sheep Race arrived outside Zhao Feng''s hall.


    "The Green Jade Sheep Race will never forget Senior Zhao Feng''s gratitude. We cannot repay you¡­." Everyone from the Green Jade Sheep Race knelt on the ground.


    "Get up. I can''t stay here forever. In order to be respected by others, you have to rely on your own strength!" Zhao Feng sighed.


    "The Green Jade Sheep Race understands." Those from the Green Jade Sheep Race had decisive gazes.


    Instead of being punished by the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race for causing trouble in the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race ¨C heavily injuring an upper echelon member and killing Si Jinhua ¨C Zhao Feng was instead respected by the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. All of this was because of strength.


    On the other hand, the Green Jade Sheep Race had done nothing wrong but had to apologize even after being humiliated by the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. Right now, the Green Jade Sheep Race was just being protected by Zhao Feng. Once Zhao Feng left, their status would drop by a thousand yards, and they would be bullied once more.


    Zhao Feng entered seclusion once more after the Green Jade Sheep Race left.


    Zhao Feng multitasked within the Misty Spatial World.


    He first cultivated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique to consolidate and strengthen his foundation. He would soon be able to successfully reach the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    The second of his thoughts absorbed the God Tribulation Lightning symbols and used the power of God Tribulation Lightning to refine his Sacred Lightning Body. The God Tribulation Lightning symbols had always been Zhao Feng''s killing move, and he started to absorb God Tribulation Lightning without worry after obtaining the Lightning God Crystal. It could increase his strength and refine his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Zhao Feng used the third of his thoughts to increasing the level of his comprehension.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three fruits floated in front of Zhao Feng. At this moment, several small holes were present in these fruits, so more Intent washed toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan were cultivating not far away from Zhao Feng, and the Intent was also very useful for them.


    "Strength is everything!" Zhao Feng had a decisive gaze.


    Although his status in the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race wasn''t bad, four-star powers were only middle-level existences in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods at best. There was nothing to be happy about. Furthermore, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was the most normal and weakest four-star power; they only had one Rank One True God, who was reaching the end of his lifespan.


    It was because of this issue that the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race urgently needed other experts and were thus so respectful to Zhao Feng. If it was a four-and-a-half-star force instead, they wouldn''t need Zhao Feng''s help.


    "The Spiritual Race is at least a five-star race!" Zhao Feng''s heart shook. If he went to the Spiritual Race with his current strength, his result would probably be the same as the Green Jade Spirit Race when they arrived at the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    Si Liuhan arrived at Zhao Feng''s place ten days later.


    "Zhao Feng, this is the map that the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race has created!" Si Liuhan took out a jade slip that was enclosed with a unique secret technique.

 1150 Black-Tongued Lizard Race

    Chapter 1150 - Black-Tongued Lizard Race


    Zhao Feng took the jade slip, activated his Sacred Lightning Body, and used the power of God Tribulation Lightning to destroy the seal. An enormous surge of information entered Zhao Feng''s mind after he put his consciousness inside.


    "Red Leaf Forest Grounds, Sky Feather Island, Blue Ocean Bay¡­"


    This map was more than a dozen times bigger than the Green Jade Sheep Race''s map, and it was also more detailed and up-to-date.


    Zhao Feng found that Sky Feather Island had close to twenty-four four-star powers, and Sky Feather Island was just one of the islands in Blue Ocean Bay. A four-and-a-half-star power ruled the entire Blue Ocean Bay.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng found out that there was a giant ancient teleportation array in Sky Feather Island that could directly send him to the edges of Blue Ocean Bay. This meant that, if Zhao Feng wanted to leave, it would be best to use the teleportation array on Sky Feather Island. However, this teleportation array was under the control of the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    "Zhao Feng, the weapon you''ll be receiving is in First Elder''s hands, and he needs you to go get it yourself," Si Liuhan said coldly.


    "Where is First Elder?" Zhao Feng immediately asked. Apart from True God Sky Fire and Si Liuhan, Zhao Feng didn''t sense any other experts at that level in the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    "In Fire Sea Forest. That is where the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race is fighting against the Black-Tongued Lizard Race!" Si Liuhan said with a smile.


    The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s map was extremely precious. If Zhao Feng wanted another substandard God weapon as well, he obviously needed to do something more. When Zhao Feng went to pick it up, he would have to help the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    "It''s good that way. It''s time for me to go work out. I haven''t met anyone recently that I can actually have a fight with!" Zhao Feng laughed coldly and sent Si Liuhan away.


    Si Liuhan left Zhao Feng''s place with a grim expression. What Zhao Feng meant was that Si Liuhan didn''t have the ability to fight against Zhao Feng.


    "Arrogant and cocky. You''ll see what happens next!" Si Liuhan revealed a cunning smile.


    The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had five Elders in total. First Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder were all at the battlefield. Most of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s elites were also there, but even then, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was on the defensive and didn''t dare to clash against the Black-Tongued Lizard Race head-on.


    "Fire Sea Forest¡­." Zhao Feng quickly searched for this location on the map in his mind.


    Fire Sea Forest was in the Red Leaf Forest Grounds. Because there were so many Fire-elemental resources there, it looked like a sea when viewed from above, which is where it got its name.


    The two four-star powers were fighting this time because they found a bunch of resources underneath Fire Sea Forest ¨C Sky Pearl Fire Ginseng. Sky Pearl Fire Ginseng contained ancient Fire-elemental Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and it was extremely beneficial for one''s state of existence even if they were Demigods or Gods.


    Zhao Feng headed toward the destination after confirming his route.


    Fire Sea Forest was in the territory of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, so it wasn''t very far. With Zhao Feng''s current speed, he could arrive in two months.


    Although Zhao Feng was busy heading toward the destination, Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan were still cultivating within the Misty Spatial World, so new experiences and comprehensions kept on popping up in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "I''m here!" Zhao Feng stopped. He could see a weird red forest covered in red mist in the distance.


    "This environment is extremely suitable for people that cultivate the element of Fire!"


    The Fire of Wind Lightning Sacred Power within Zhao Feng''s body felt the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and the Fire-elemental resources in the air and started to boil.


    Zhao Feng found several hundred Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race members in some ruins. Several hundred miles away was a large number of Black-Tongued Lizard Race members.


    "Is this newcomer Zhao Feng?" At this moment, an elder with a red beard that almost reached his knees walked out from the group of Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race members.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng immediately descended to the ground.


    There were many members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race around the ruins. They had ugly expressions, and most of them were heavily injured. Seeing Zhao Feng arrive, the members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race revealed joyful expressions when they thought they were about to receive powerful reinforcements, but that turned into disappointment and disdain when they sensed Zhao Feng''s cultivation.


    "What''s wrong with the patriarch? Why did he send a late-stage Mystic Light Realm cultivator?"


    "What can a human at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm do?"


    The members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race sighed one after another. Even First Elder paused for a moment and looked suspiciously at Zhao Feng. True God Sky Fire said that a powerful expert had joined them and would take the substandard God weapon here in exchange for helping them fight the Black-Tongued Lizard Race. Of course, the race would then take out another substandard God weapon and give it to First Elder, but True God Sky Fire didn''t tell him that Zhao Feng was only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    "First Elder, I''m here under orders from True God Sky Fire to take the substandard God weapon!" Zhao Feng arrived in front of First Elder and said.


    "What? This brat is here to take the substandard God weapon?"


    "Now that the two races are fighting, he''s going to take away the substandard God weapon? What hope do we have!?"


    The members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race looked at Zhao Feng with disgust.


    "First Elder, this is indeed not very good!" At this moment, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s Third Elder walked over.


    "Shut up!" First Elder roared and released a terrifying aura, causing everyone to quieten down. First Elder was the strongest Demigod in the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, and he was considered the patriarch when True God Sky Fire was in seclusion.


    "This is the order of the patriarch!"


    A long sword covered in golden seals appeared in First Elder''s hand. Zhao Feng took this substandard God weapon and inspected it for a while.


    "Not bad!" Zhao Feng was pretty satisfied. This was the best substandard God item he had seen so far.


    "Now we will need Brother Zhao to help our race fight the enemy!" First Elder looked deeply at Zhao Feng. Although Zhao Feng was only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, First Elder could see that Zhao Feng was not normal. Furthermore, he trusted the patriarch''s decision; why would True God Sky Fire send someone useless over to support them?


    "Of course!" Zhao Feng immediately agreed.


    Although the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was relatively weak, this environment suited them, which was why they could last so long.


    "Understood!" Zhao Feng found a random spot and entered the Misty Spatial World.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two substandard God weapons appeared in Zhao Feng''s hands ¨C the flaming golden spear and the golden long sword. Zhao Feng gave the flaming golden spear to Zhao Wang and gave the golden long sword to Zhao Wan.


    "The element of Metal within this golden long sword is rather pure, and it can be used to cultivate the Metal of Wind Lightning in the future!" Zhao Feng planned.


    If the members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race heard what Zhao Feng just said, they would probably cough out blood. Zhao Feng was planning to use a substandard God weapon as a cultivation resource? That was just a complete waste.


    In reality, Zhao Feng didn''t even need any weapons. His Golden Kun Sacred Lightning had reached the 7th level, so his body was the best weapon. It had also merged with the bloodline power in his index finger and was basically a "divine weapon" that surpassed substandard God weapons.


    What Zhao Feng really lacked was a long-range weapon. The Sky Locking Bow couldn''t satisfy Zhao Feng anymore, and Zhao Feng didn''t want to reveal the Ancient God Seal. After all, True God Tian Fa came to the continent zone specifically for this item; from this, one could see that the Ancient God Seal was considered precious even amongst divine weapons.


    Zhao Feng sat down and started to cultivate.


    He first cultivated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Divine Forming Technique before trying to analyze the third level of the Soul Splitting Technique. The mysterious golden ball replicated ancient resources within the dimension of his God Eye. Many Intents gathered around the Lightning God Crystal and slowly absorbed the power of God Tribulation Lightning, then merged it into his Sacred Lightning Body.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, putting aside the Gulong Zone, it would be extremely hard for Zhao Feng to leave Sky Feather Island or Blue Ocean Bay with his current strength. Furthermore, the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was extremely cruel and dangerous. Only by increasing his strength would Zhao Feng be able to survive and see Zhao Yufei as well as Xin Wuheng, who had an unknown level of strength. Therefore, Zhao Feng needed to use all his time to increase his strength.


    Opposite the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was where the Black-Tongued Lizard Race was.


    "First Elder, it seems the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race has received reinforcements!" Cold light flashed through the eyes of a green thick-skinned elder. The Black-Tongued Lizard Race originally only needed to attack two or three more times before they would be able to defeat the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    The Black-Tongued Lizard Race didn''t really want the resources; their focus was the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race itself. The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was becoming weaker, and True God Sky Fire was reaching the end of his lifespan. The Black-Tongued Lizard Race couldn''t allow another True God to appear in the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    "Bao Li, it''s just someone at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. There''s no need to worry!" The Black-Tongued Lizard Race''s First Elder had a cold expression.


    "But why would the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race send over a single human at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm!?" Bao Li started to think.


    "First Elder, what Bao Li said is correct. There is definitely something suspicious about it!" At this moment, a Demigod expert wearing dark blue armor walked over.


    "Then go and test them out!" First Elder thought for a while before speaking.


    "Sure. We will go scout out the situation!" Bao Li and the dark-armored male directed three hundred members of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race and quietly approached the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race before charging out at a certain moment.


    "Kill!! Kill everyone from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race!" The dark-armored male revealed a deadly gaze and roared.


    "Enemy attack! The Black-Tongued Lizard Race is attacking!"


    "Quick! Defend!"


    The members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race quickly entered battle mode.


    "Hmm? The First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race hasn''t moved yet?" The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s First Elder was surprised.


    "The fight has finally started?" Zhao Feng opened his eyes, which were filled with battle-intent.


    "Zhao Feng, join my group and listen to my orders!" At this moment, the Third Elder of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race spoke. The Second and Third Elder were close, and he had received Second Elder''s message beforehand to teach Zhao Feng a lesson.

 1151 Stunning Change of Events

    Chapter 1151 - Stunning Change of Events


    "Zhao Feng, join my group and listen to my orders!"


    The Third Elder of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had an arrogant expression. The other members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race also disliked Zhao Feng.


    "Who do you think you are!?" Zhao Feng roared with a cold expression.


    This roar instantly dazed the Third Elder, and the other members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race nearby looked at Zhao Feng in shock.


    The Third Elder had an enraged expression as he looked at Zhao Feng, but his heart shook when he saw Zhao Feng''s eyes. At this moment, the Third Elder felt like he was sealed in ice. His soul was completely suppressed by Zhao Feng, and he stood there, stunned, as if he had instinctively bowed in front of Zhao Feng''s power, but he soon reacted and looked angrily at Zhao Feng with an embarrassed expression.


    "How dare you offend me!? I am the Third Elder of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race!" Third Elder roared. Zhao Feng actually dared to humiliate him in front of the other clansmen of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race? If it wasn''t for the fact that the Black-Tongued Lizard Race had already started attacking, Third Elder would have attacked Zhao Feng.


    The other members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race looked at Zhao Feng with even more disgust.


    "So weak yet so cocky!"


    "He''ll see what''s coming later!"


    The clansmen of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race discussed Zhao Feng right in front of him.


    "Do the two of you want to be killed by the Black-Tongued Lizard Race?" the First Elder spoke at this moment.


    The Black-Tongued Lizard Race was attacking right now, yet Zhao Feng and Third Elder were about to fight. The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was originally not a match for the Black-Tongued Lizard Race, so that was just suicidal.


    "Hahahaha, what a bunch of retards. You''re still fighting amongst each other at such a moment?" A dark-armored Demigod of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race laughed in the air.


    Boom! Peng!


    The dark-armored male slashed out with the dark blade in his hand and released a shocking blow. At the same time, the other members of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race attacked as well.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Wind, fire, and lightning filled the skies. It was as if doomsday had arrived and was crushing toward the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    "Defend!" All the members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race circulated their Sacred Power to block this barrage under First Elder''s orders.


    "Counterattack!" A light flashed through First Elder''s eyes.


    The First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race and some of their other members still hadn''t come over yet. The overall battle-power of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race right now was slightly higher than their opponent, so this was the best chance for the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race to counterattack.


    Once the opposing force''s First Elder took action, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would have to go on the defensive. The First Elder of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race focused on the First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race while the others attacked.


    "Kill!"


    "Kill all of these bastards!"


    The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race listened to First Elder''s command and immediately took action the instant the First Elder gave the order.


    "Hehehe, let me face the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s reinforcements!"


    The dark-armored male''s eyes searched for Zhao Feng''s figure. After all, the whole reason they came over was to test out Zhao Feng.


    Shu~~


    A bolt of scarlet lightning flashed in front of the dark-armored male.


    "What speed¡­!" The dark-armored male was surprised.


    The speed that Zhao Feng just displayed wasn''t something that someone at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm could have. What surprised the dark-armored male even more though was that Zhao Feng was running directly at him. Under normal circumstances, the dark-armored male would think that Zhao Feng was an idiot, but a sense of uneasiness appeared in his heart at this moment.


    On the other side, the members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race also paused when they looked at Zhao Feng. A Mystic Light Realm expert fighting against a Demigod ¨C wasn''t this the same as courting death?


    "This person¡­" The First Elder''s expression became grim as his eyebrows furrowed together. He was originally planning to fight this dark-armored male personally, but Zhao Feng got there first.


    "Black Demon Force Sky Slash!" A black Mystic Light Sacred Power appeared from the dark-armored male.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The dark-armored male slashed out with the long blade and unleashed several sharp slashes that engulfed Zhao Feng''s figure.


    "Physical Force Lightning Domain!" Zhao Feng circulated his Earth of Wind Lightning and activated his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A heavy and dark domain of lightning spread from Zhao Feng''s body. The terrifying power of lightning and physical force destroyed everything nearby and covered the dark-armored male as well.


    "What!?" The dark-armored male felt his bloodline and Sacred Power churn, as if it was going to break out at any moment. The nearby space was filled with a heavy lightning that suppressed his power.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng immediately appeared next to the dark-armored male, released the bloodline power within his index finger, and stabbed out as he merged the power of the Physical Force Lightning Domain into it.


    "What a powerful¡­ ancient bloodline power!" The dark-armored male''s heart shook. The ancient bloodline aura coming from Zhao Feng''s finger completely suppressed his own bloodline power and caused his body to instinctively shake.


    Peng!


    A small hole appeared in the dark-armored male''s chest. A strong surge of physical force and lightning then erupted and engulfed the dark-armored male.


    Boom! Bam!


    The dark-armored male''s body was split in two as his waist was destroyed by Zhao Feng''s finger. The upper and lower halves of the dark-armored male were scorched black and lost their lifeforce.


    Whoosh!


    A dark Yuan Soul sped into the distance.


    "How is this possible? That brat must be a True God expert!" The dark-armored male was shocked. In just one move, his Sacred Body was destroyed; this was something that only True God experts could do.


    "What? That human brat¡­!?" On the other side, Bao Li''s eyes bulged out as he stared at Zhao Feng. He was sure that what he just saw was correct; a Demigod was defeated by Zhao Feng in just one move.


    Something like this only happened in the legendary five-star powers. Five-star powers that ruled at the peak of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods raised the strongest geniuses of the Fan Universe, and only they had the ability to instantly defeat someone with higher cultivation. However, it was impossible for a peerless genius of a five-star power to appear in the territory of such a small force in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "How is this possible!?" It wasn''t just the Black-Tongued Lizard Race that was stunned; the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race members were shocked as well.


    Third Elder stared at Zhao Feng and started to tremble uncontrollably.


    "No wonder the patriarch would send such a person over!" First Elder finally relaxed and revealed a faint smile. Based on the performance just now, Zhao Feng obviously had the strength of a Rank One True God.


    At this point, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would definitely be able to defeat the Black-Tongued Lizard Race. They had a True God-level expert on their side, and the enemy had lost a Demigod!


    "His interspatial dimension!" Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto the Yuan Soul that was trying to escape.


    After their physical body was destroyed, Yuan Souls would usually take their interspatial dimension with them, just like how Zhao Feng had stored all his resources in the dimension of his left eye before taking over a new body. When True God Tian Fa was defeated originally, he had also taken his interspatial dimension with him or else he wouldn''t have been able to recover so quickly.


    Whoosh!


    A purple-and-gold ball of lightning formed in Zhao Feng''s left eye and radiated a shocking Eye Intent.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Voom!


    A dark purple ball of flaming God Tribulation Lightning symbols exploded on the black Yuan Soul.


    "Arghhh¡­!" The dark-armored male screamed as his soul started to become weaker.


    "Not good!" The expression of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race''s First Elder changed dramatically as he immediately charged toward Zhao Feng. He knew that he wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match based on the strength that Zhao Feng just displayed, but all he needed to do was block Zhao Feng for a moment and save the dark-armored male. After all, Demigods were peak experts in four-star powers and affected their rise or fall.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated the Fire of Wind Lightning and thrust out his palm.


    Boom! Boom! Peng!


    A giant scarlet-golden palm of lightning shot forward and sealed off the movement paths that the Black-Tongued Lizard Race''s First Elder could take. At the same time, Zhao Feng caught up to the Yuan Soul of the dark-armored male and unleashed another soul attack.


    Peng!


    The Yuan Soul of the dark-armored male disappeared into Heaven and Earth, and Zhao Feng took away his interspatial dimension.


    The battlefield between the two races was dead-silent! A Demigod had died without any resistance.


    At this moment, the faces of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race members turned white and their bones turned cold. From their point of view, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race basically had another True God expert now, so they would have no chances of winning.


    "Run!" The remaining members of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race immediately retreated.


    "Retreat!" Bao Li immediately gave the order, and several hundred members of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race threw off their armor.


    "The spoils of war from one Demigod is not enough!" A pair of scarlet wings of lightning appeared on Zhao Feng''s back.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng turned into a scarlet bolt of lightning and charged toward the First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race.


    "You bunch of idiots! Are you just going to watch?" Zhao Feng glanced at the members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    "Kill! Chase after them while we have the advantage!" First Elder recovered from the shock and immediately gave the order. The morale of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race members increased as they chased the enemies.


    "Human, don''t get too cocky!" The First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race knew that he wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match and immediately tried to escape.


    "Heaven Piercing Finger!" Zhao Feng''s right index finger released an ancient bloodline aura and a surge of Wind Lightning Sacred Power.


    Whoosh!


    A scarlet-golden light shot through the air with a terrifying power of Wind Lightning.


    Bam!


    A hole appeared in the First Elder''s right shoulder as he tried to escape, and blood splattered out. At the same time, more scarlet-golden light continued forward and slew two Sacred Lords of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race. With a thought, Zhao Feng took away their interspatial dimensions.


    "Dammit, this brat¡­!" The First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race had an extremely ugly expression. Zhao Feng was faster than him, but instead of focusing on just him, Zhao Feng killed other members of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race at the same time.


    In just a short while, Zhao Feng had killed almost twenty Mystic Light Realm experts.


    "Where do you think you''re running to?" At this instant, the First Elder and Third Elder of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race chased over. They obviously knew that killing the top experts of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race was the key to weakening their race overall.


    "Fuck off, he''s my prey!" Zhao Feng looked at First Elder and Third Elder and roared. He helped them resolve the danger this time, but they came to take his spoils of war?


    "You¡­!" Third Elder had an enraged expression and wanted to swear, but he had to stop himself.


    "Let''s go kill the other members of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race!" First Elder said.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, strength was everything! Zhao Feng was looked down on by everyone earlier, but now, no one dared to go against him!


    "What? Is he confident that he can kill me by himself!?" The Black-Tongued Lizard Race''s First Elder was shocked, and cold sweat started to appear.

 1152 Killing Everyone

    Chapter 1152 - Killing Everyone


    "What? Is he confident that he can kill me by himself!?" The Black-Tongued Lizard Race''s First Elder was shocked, and cold sweat started to appear.


    Defeating and killing someone were completely different concepts. The difficulty of the latter was several times harder than the former.


    "Could he be a prodigy of the Golden Jade Race?" The First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race guessed.


    The Golden Jade Race was ranked 2532nd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and they were the rulers of Blue Ocean Bay. They were a four-and-a-half-star power.


    Apparently, the prodigies of the Golden Jade Race were the top geniuses of Blue Ocean Bay, and they had the ability to kill experts with higher cultivation. However, almost all of these prodigies were Demigods. It wasn''t that they couldn''t break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, they were just suppressing their strength and consolidating their foundation to become a higher-ranked God.


    Apparently, geniuses who were able to become Rank Three True Gods right away had a much higher probability of becoming an Ancient God.


    "Evil Light Flash!" The First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race burned his Mystic Light Sacred Power and used an escape technique.


    Whoosh!


    He turned into a black streak of light and started to slowly fade away in the air.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!" The pair of wings behind Zhao Feng''s back instantly released a dazzling scarlet-golden lightning that pushed his speed to the limit, and he instantly disappeared from sight.


    "So fast!" Third Elder was stunned. Not only was Zhao Feng strong, his speed also surpassed Demigods.


    "But Zhao Feng can''t do anything if the First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race only focuses on running away!" The First Elder of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race sighed and thought that Zhao Feng was being too cocky. The strength of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race''s First Elder was far greater than his own, and he was extremely cunning. While Zhao Feng might be able to defeat him, it would be extremely difficult to kill him. After all, everyone knew the difference in difficulty between defeating and killing someone.


    "It''s better this way. Zhao Feng''s chasing after the First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race while we can kill all the others!" Third Elder revealed a cold and deadly smile.


    Of the two Black-Tongued Lizard Race Demigods present, one had died while the other was running away.


    The Black-Tongued Lizard Race only had one remaining Demigod in their group now ¨C Bao Li. They were obviously not a match for the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, so everything went smoothly. The majority of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race''s group was killed. Only Bao Li and a small number of clansmen were able to escape.


    "Dammit, they got away!" Third Elder was unresigned. This was a great opportunity to kill as many enemies as possible, but there wasn''t much they could do. The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would only be able to kill every member of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race if their strength was several tiers higher than the enemy''s.


    "But the Black-Tongued Lizard Race is no longer a match for the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race!" First Elder was overjoyed. This result had already exceeded their expectations.


    The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race stayed behind to gather the spoils of war and recover from their injuries. Of course, they also needed to wait for Zhao Feng to return. They didn''t dare to go anywhere before Zhao Feng returned.


    "First Elder, do you think that the First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race and Bao Li could have attacked Zhao Feng together?" Third Elder suddenly said.


    There were quite a few members of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race that had escaped. If they met up with the First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race and Zhao Feng on the way, Zhao Feng would need to face everyone from the Black-Tongued Lizard Race alone.


    "That¡­ that is a possibility!" First Elder''s expression changed slightly when Third Elder mentioned this.


    Although Zhao Feng was cocky, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race needed Zhao Feng.


    "Let''s go have a look¡­." First Elder got up and prepared to lead the group and see what was happening. However, at this moment, a terrifying surge of Wind Lightning appeared in the distance.


    Weng~~ Shu!


    Zhao Feng instantly arrived in the air above the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    "You bunch of idiots, you let so many enemies escape. I had to go kill them all myself!" Zhao Feng looked down from above. It was as if he was a deity gazing over mortals.


    "What!?" Third Elder cried out.


    He originally guessed that Zhao Feng might have been pincer-attacked by the Black-Tongued Lizard Race, but Zhao Feng managed to kill Bao Li and the others that escaped? What kind of monster was he? At the same time, another question appeared in his heart; was the First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race dead too?


    Everyone from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was filled with shock and respect for Zhao Feng.


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng, it''s good that you''re fine. Let''s quickly mine the resources and return to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race!" First Elder was full of smiles.


    The stronger Zhao Feng was, the more helpful he was to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was on the verge of falling to a three-star power, but now, they might be able to use Zhao Feng and retain the title of being a four-star power or even expand.


    "Let''s go!" The group returned the way they came under First Elder''s orders.


    "I didn''t think that Senior Zhao would be so strong. It''s all because of him that we were able to win!"


    "I''ve never seen such a strong cultivator at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. Could Senior Zhao be a prodigy from a five-star power that accidentally came here?"


    The members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race kept discussing Zhao Feng on the way back. Excitement and awe filled their eyes. In their hearts, the status of Zhao Feng had exceeded the five Elders of the race; he was the top person beneath only the patriarch.


    They soon arrived at Fire Sea Forest. The task of mining the resources was obviously given to the weaker members while Zhao Feng sat on the side and organized his spoils of war.


    "The wealth of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race''s First Elder isn''t bad, but the others have nothing!" Zhao Feng was full of smiles.


    The First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race thought that he would be able to escape once he used his spatial escape technique, but that was his biggest mistake. After leaving the group, Zhao Feng immediately summoned the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Wan to help. The First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race had no way to survive!


    "Little Black, this is yours!" Zhao Feng picked out a majority of resources that he didn''t need and threw them to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Okay¡­." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t like the title that Zhao Feng gave it, but there was nothing it could do.


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng, we can go now!" First Elder arrived next to Zhao Feng and said with a faint smile.


    "En!" Zhao Feng nodded his head faintly.


    Apart from the patriarch of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, Zhao Feng was now the number one person. It wouldn''t even be too hard for Zhao Feng to conquer this four-star power, but there was no need to do so. Zhao Feng didn''t have enough time to manage it anyway.


    Zhao Feng followed First Elder and went to see True God Sky Fire after returning to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    "Patriarch, we have successfully gathered the Sky Peal Fire Ginseng and killed all the members of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race there. The three Demigods¡­" First Elder paused for a moment because he wasn''t sure if the First Elder of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race had died or not.


    "The three enemy Demigods have all been killed!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile as he looked at True God Sky Fire.


    "What!?" True God Sky Fire exclaimed.


    Even if Zhao Feng''s strength was extremely close to the level of a True God, True God Sky Fire couldn''t believe that three Demigods of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race had been killed. This meant that everyone from the Black-Tongued Lizard Race in the Fire Sea Forest had been slain.


    "Good. Little Friend Zhao, I was correct in choosing you!" After the shock passed, True God Sky Fire congratulated with smiles on his face.


    However, Zhao Feng had a cold expression and didn''t move.


    "This is the payment for Little Friend Zhao helping!" True God Sky Fire then handed an interspatial ring over.


    The result of this battle had exceeded True God Sky Fire''s expectations. One substandard God weapon wasn''t enough.


    "Thank you. If the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race has any difficulties in the future, I will definitely help!" Zhao Feng took the interspatial ring and said goodbye to True God Sky Fire.


    "Patriarch, Zhao Feng''s strength has most likely reached the level of a Rank One True God!" First Elder said in a solemn tone after Zhao Feng left.


    "His state of existence has already reached the level of a True God, and he''s cultivated a profound body-strengthening technique as well. He basically has the Divine Body of a Rank One True God!" True God Sky Fire revealed what information he knew.


    "If that''s the case, we could let Zhao Feng help us obtain the Exchange Spiritual Hall." First Elder had a courageous thought.


    Exchange Spiritual Halls in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were similar to the Void Ocean Spiritual Palaces in the Nanlin Sea; they were a place for replenishment. However, the Exchange Spiritual Halls in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were created by the various forces within a certain area, and the controller of each one was picked from among these forces.


    There were five Exchange Spiritual Halls spread out in Sky Feather Island, but there was close to twenty four-star powers in Sky Feather Island. A contest would be held in Sky Feather Island every millennium in order to fight over the Exchange Spiritual Halls. The winner would be able to control the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    In other words, the controllers of the five Exchange Spiritual Halls were basically the strongest five forces in the entire Sky Feather Island. Of course, the profit made from a thousand years of owning one Exchange Spiritual Hall were extremely great and could change the fate of a force.


    In the past, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race didn''t even think about participating in the competition.


    "Let me think about it¡­." True God Sky Fire started to think.


    In reality, True God Sky Fire already had this thought when Zhao Feng fought with Second Elder, but since this was such an important issue, he needed to think about it some more.


    ¡­


    Zhao Feng entered seclusion after returning to his residence.


    Within the Misty Spatial World:


    Shua! Shua!


    Several high-grade substandard God Crystals and precious resources floated in front of Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique to absorb their energy in order to cultivate the Earth of Wind Lightning. At the same time, Zhao Feng multi-tasked and comprehended many other things as well.


    Zhao Feng opened his eyes a month later.


    "It will be very hard for my Earth of Wind Lightning to make any major improvements unless I increase my cultivation!" Zhao Feng let out a breath.


    In reality, he could have become a Sacred King and broken through to the Heavenly Divine Realm long ago. His strength had already reached the level of a Rank One True God, and he already had a God Tribulation Lightning Sacred Body and a Lightning Soul Body. The True God Lightning Tribulation wouldn''t be very difficult.


    "But even if it goes well, I''ll only be able to become a Rank Two True God if I do it now!" Zhao Feng shook his head. In reality, Zhao Feng wasn''t very confident if he could even become a Rank Two True God.


    "Apparently, if one can become a Rank Three True God instantly, the chances of becoming an Ancient God will be much higher. I wonder if anyone''s reached Rank Four or even Rank Five straight away¡­."


    Zhao Feng had a lot of expectations. Becoming a higher-ranked God saved time and resources and also gave him more potential in the future. If he could meet the requirements, Zhao Feng would try to become a higher-ranked God. This was the reason why Zhao Feng suppressed his cultivation and consolidated his foundation.

 1153 Exchange Spiritual Hall

    Chapter 1153 - Exchange Spiritual Hall


    It was now very hard for Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique to improve, and his state of existence had already reached the level of a Rank One True God.


    Zhao Feng decided to put his focus on his bloodline power. A strong bloodline was very helpful to breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm. For example, the top two hundred bloodlines in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races would become Rank Two True Gods when they broke through to the Heavenly Divine Realm even if the individual''s foundation was very weak. This was one of the benefits that a strong bloodline brought.


    While Zhao Feng''s perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline was considered one of the top bloodlines in the continent zone, it was useless in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods because the purity of the bloodlines in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was extremely high. For example, the bloodline of the Golden Jade Race, who ruled Blue Ocean Bay, was only ranked two thousand something, but at the same cultivation level, someone like Wen Luoan who had the high-ranking Heaven Sun Battle Race bloodline wouldn''t be their match. This was the difference between the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and other dimensions.


    For someone like Zhao Yufei, who had an ancient bloodline but was from a weak dimension, the purity of their bloodline would increase after entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. However, this was only limited to ancient bloodlines; Zhao Feng''s Imperial Dao bloodline hadn''t changed at all after coming here.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng arrived in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng now had a big army of beasts within the Ancient Dream Realm. Apart from the Golden Winged Scarlet Tigers, Sky Fire Lightning Ape, Earth Shattering Raging Bulls, and the Earth Crystal Race, Zhao Feng had also conquered several races ranked in the eight thousands of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. The strongest was the Yao Fire Fox Race; they were ranked 8030th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. However, Zhao Feng needed a terrifying amount of resources to raise this beast army.


    "Continue the expansion and attack the Electricity Light Bat Race!" Zhao Feng ordered as he led several beast groups toward the next target.


    Zhao Feng won once again after a heavy clash. The weaker beasts were eliminated, and Zhao Feng was able to enslave some stronger members of the Electricity Light Bat Race as well.


    "The Ancient Dream Realm might be bigger than I imagined. I''m probably still only at the border of the Ancient Dream Realm!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but guess after witnessing the size of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Zhao Feng felt that the Ancient Dream Realm was somehow connected to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "I shall expand bit by bit. As long as I don''t offend races that are too strong, I will eventually be able to reach the inner region of the Ancient Dream Realm!" Zhao Feng was full of excitement.


    If the border already contained such plentiful rewards, then the center would be even better.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng returned to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods with some flesh and ancient bloodline essence. Many beasts died during the fights for territory, and their bodies were full of precious resources.


    "Master, give me some more resources, and I''ll be able to recover to the level of a Demigod." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon arrived next to Zhao Feng greedily. It had already used up all the resources Zhao Feng gave it earlier. After all, those resources were obtained from Mystic Light Realms and Demigods, so they weren''t very precious.


    "These are yours¡­." Zhao Feng took some of the flesh and bloodline essence and gave them to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. He couldn''t use that much by himself anyway.


    Zhao Feng then glanced at Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan.


    Zhao Wan was still at the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but Zhao Feng warned him not to hurry. It was best to strengthen his foundation and break through to become a higher-ranked God. As for Zhao Wang, he was at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm; the same as Zhao Feng.


    Furthermore, both of their bloodlines were from the Eight Great God Eyes, so their bloodlines had improved after entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Adding on the fact that they used ancient resources to cultivate, their bloodlines weren''t any weaker than the top two hundred bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    "My eye also seems to be changing¡­." Zhao Feng murmured gently.


    The Ancient Dream Realm and the God''s Spiritual Eye had both started to change ever since he entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The Ancient Dream Realm''s change was extremely quick, but the God''s Spiritual Eye''s change was extremely slow. It was hard to even detect, and it was still changing even now.


    "Oh well. I''ll strengthen my bloodline first!" Zhao Feng took out some bloodline essence from the Electricity Light Bat Race and infused it into his bloodline.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng activated his Blood Devil Sun bloodline, causing his body to instantly turn red. A twisty blood-colored fire appeared behind him.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng used his bloodline power to absorb the different Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodlines he had acquired.


    "It''s not as if bloodlines never change. As long as I keep on absorbing the power of other bloodlines, my bloodline will become stronger and surpass ancient bloodlines even if it isn''t one itself¡­."


    At this point, Zhao Feng''s perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline had already exceeded the range of the Tie Family''s "perfect" Blood Devil Sun Bloodline. Zhao Feng''s bloodline contained many other bloodlines to the point where it could be called an Evolved Blood Devil Sun bloodline, but Zhao Feng thought that the name Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline would be better.


    Like this, Zhao Feng kept merging ancient bloodlines into his Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline to strengthen it. After a month, Zhao Feng''s body was even more red. A dark hint of crimson appeared within his body, and the fire was stronger than ever before as it gave off an ancient aura.


    "The bloodline is indeed becoming stronger, but the effect is still very weak!" Zhao Feng stopped using his Ancient Blood Devil Sun Bloodline and walked out of his hall.


    The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had close to twenty martial arts field, and many members and disciples were sparring with one another. After defeating the Black-Tongued Lizard Race and obtaining the Sky Pearl Fire Ginseng, the morale of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had increased, and they were becoming stronger.


    "Senior Zhao!" Uncle Qing''s voice sounded not far from the hall.


    "We are finally able to see Senior after such a long time!" Yu Lin''er smiled.


    Other than going to the battlefield that one time, Zhao Feng spent most of his time in seclusion, so the Green Jade Sheep Race rarely saw him.


    "Senior Zhao, let''s go to the Exchange Spiritual Hall and buy some resources that we need!" Liu Yun seemed to be excited and spoke with a pure voice.


    "Exchange Spiritual Hall?" Zhao Feng had paid attention to this name when he obtained the map from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, but he didn''t delve further into it.


    "The Exchange Spiritual Hall is a place for replenishment created by all the forces within a certain area, and there are many unique markets there. We are planning to trade some of the items we don''t need for some cultivation resources¡­." Yu Lin''er introduced to Zhao Feng. She was very surprised that Zhao Feng didn''t know what Exchange Spiritual Halls were even though he was from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. If Zhao Feng came from some other dimension, he should be a Demigod at minimum.


    "Oh? I''ll come with you then!" Zhao Feng was slightly interested in the place that Yu Lin''er talked about. In reality, everything was new to Zhao Feng, and he wanted to experience it all.


    "Senior Zhao, please!" Uncle Qing''s expression turned to joy, and he spoke in a very respectful tone. The Green Jade Sheep Race trio was originally worried about going to the Exchange Spiritual Hall. Although the Exchange Spiritual Hall was basically the only fair place in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, they were too weak, so they were still scared.


    Sky Feather Island had a total of five Exchange Spiritual Halls. The closest Exchange Spiritual Hall to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was controlled by the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race nearby.


    Zhao Feng and the Green Jade Sheep Race trio arrived at the Exchange Spiritual Hall two months later.


    The Exchange Spiritual Hall was enormous. There were palaces and halls of every color and kind within it, and they were all connected to one another. They even touched the clouds.


    A powerful array was set around the Exchange Spiritual Hall. Even True God experts would find it difficult to enter by force. There was an entrance at each of the four cardinal directions of the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Experts of different races were heading toward the Exchange Spiritual Hall. Most of them were in groups.


    "Senior Zhao, let''s go as well!" Uncle Qing led Zhao Feng and company toward the entrance.


    Ten late-stage Mystic Light Realm experts radiating terrifying auras stood before a golden door and scared the experts entering the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "Here are your tokens. Ten substandard God crystals will allow you to stay here for one day!" The guards gave tokens with numbers on them to the various experts.


    "Ten substandard God crystals for one day!?" The expressions of Uncle Qing and company paused. It was obvious that this was their first time actually coming here.


    While this cost was acceptable to experts at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm or higher, it was very expensive for everyone below that. However, they were very curious about the Exchange Spiritual Hall, and they even brought Zhao Feng along with them. They were obviously too embarrassed to just leave, so they could only spend ten substandard God Crystals.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly. Ten substandard God crystals was the entire wealth of an early-stage Mystic Light Realm cultivator in the continent zone.


    Zhao Feng and company soon reached the entrance.


    "Twenty substandard God crystals for a day!" The leading guard looked at the Green Jade Sheep Race and Zhao Feng before speaking in a cold voice.


    "Senior, wasn''t it ten substandard God crystals for a day?" Yu Lin''er immediately said as her expression froze. Putting aside twenty, ten substandard God Crystals was already very expensive for Yu Lin''er.


    Furthermore, they had four people here. This meant that it would cost them eighty substandard God crystals for one day.


    "Hmph. If I say it''s twenty substandard God crystals for a day, then it''s twenty!" The big guard instantly released a heavy pressure and suppressed the Green Jade Sheep Race trio, causing their bodies to tremble.


    The guard could obviously see that they were from the Green Jade Sheep Race, which was just a lowly three-star power. There was only one initial-stage Mystic Light Realm from the Green Jade Sheep Race group in front of him; the other two were a peak Void God Realm and a Great Origin Core Realm. While he couldn''t tell the cultivation of the human, this human couldn''t be too strong. He would be able to kill all these weak ants in just one blow.


    "Hehehe, even a Great Origin Core Realm dares to come here? They don''t know how death is written, do they?"


    "Hand over the fees or fuck off!"


    Many experts behind Zhao Feng and company started to become impatient and mocked.


    Zhao Feng took a step forward with a calm expression.


    "Senior Zhao!" The Green Jade Sheep Race trio was extremely embarrassed. As expected, even if the Exchange Spiritual Halls were relatively fair, they were just too weak; they were unable to obtain the rights to be treated fairly.

 1154 Xi Feng

    Chapter 1154 - Xi Feng


    "Brat, what do you think you''re doing?"


    The leading guard looked at Zhao Feng in disdain. Although he couldn''t see through Zhao Feng, how strong could this human be if he hung out with the Green Jade Sheep Race?


    "Twenty!?" Zhao Feng roared in a deep tone as his expression changed, and a strong surge of eye-bloodline power shot out from his left eye as he looked at this guard.


    The guard''s soul instantly felt lightning and thunder boom across his soul. The terrifying pressure almost made him faint. The other guards nearby felt that something was wrong and instantly released their powerful auras, but in the next instant, a dark yellow flash of lightning glittered from Zhao Feng''s body and released a terrifying physical force.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    The eight guards and everyone behind Zhao Feng instantly became unable to move.


    "So strong¡­!"


    "Could this be a Divine Body!?"


    Apart from the Green Jade Sheep Race trio, everyone else tried to struggle against Zhao Feng''s physical force. It was as if Zhao Feng only needed one thought to make them fall to the ground.


    "True God¡­! My Lord, forgive us!" The big guard''s expression turned to shock as he immediately started to beg. From his perspective, it was very likely that this person was a True God, and behind a True God was definitely a four-star power at the least.


    Even the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race wouldn''t want to offend a four-star power for no reason, and he was just a normal member of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.


    "Ten substandard God Crystals for a day!" the guard immediately said.


    "Ten?" Zhao Feng repeated in a questioning tone.


    "No¡­ no! One is fine!" the guard gritted his teeth and immediately said.


    Hu~


    The terrifying pressure disappeared.


    "Quickly take us through the procedure!" Zhao Feng took out four substandard God Crystals and said.


    "Yes, yes!" The bulky guard immediately nodded his head, and the others in line also held their breaths. The Exchange Spiritual Hall forbade fighting, but they technically hadn''t entered yet, and no one would care if this True God senior killed them.


    Zhao Feng and company entered the Exchange Spiritual Hall after obtaining four tokens.


    The Exchange Spiritual Hall seemed like a different place from the outside world. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi here was extremely thick, and it could even be considered a sacred land of cultivation.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Experts of all races moved through the air. There were small flying machines and spiritual pets as well.


    Many weird structures could be seen. Some were big and magnificent while others were mysterious and elegant. There were also areas with small stores. As long as outsiders handed over a certain fee, they would be able to open a stand as well.


    "So many people!" Liu Yun revealed a pure smile.


    "This is the messaging token of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. Find me after you''re done." Zhao Feng gave Yu Lin''er a golden-red token. True God Sky Fire had given this to Zhao Feng in order for easier interaction.


    "Thank you, Senior Zhao!" Yu Lin''er took the token and disappeared into the crowd with Uncle Qing and Liu Yun.


    Everyone had different needs. Zhao Feng needed to do his own thing, so he had to part ways with the Green Jade Sheep Race for now.


    Right at this moment, discussion broke out near the entrance where Zhao Feng came in.


    "Isn''t that Xi Feng? The disciple of the Sky Feather Island Lord!"


    "It really is Xi Feng! I didn''t think that he would come here!"


    Many experts looked at the entrance. A handsome male with pale-white skin and an arrogant expression slowly walked into the Exchange Spiritual Hall amidst the kneeling and bowing of nearby guards.


    "Xi Feng, a disciple of the Sky Feather Island Lord. Although he''s only a Demigod, he has the battle power of a Rank One True God. Apparently, he is purposely suppressing his cultivation in order to become to a stronger God!"


    "Geniuses are indeed different. People like us who have reached the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm can''t progress any further and have to try and break through no matter what!"


    The appearance of Xi Feng raised the attention of all the nearby experts and caused them to talk to each another. The Sky Feather Island Lord was the ruler of the entire Sky Feather Island, so his disciple Xi Feng obviously gained much attention.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze also landed on Xi Feng. The latter was indeed not simple, to have the strength of a Rank One True God while having the cultivation of a Demigod.


    "This is just Sky Feather Island. Who knows how strong the prodigies of other forces that rule Blue Ocean Bay are? Not to mention the rest of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods." Zhao Feng looked forward to the large Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    One had to know that there were several dozen places similar to Sky Feather Island within Blue Ocean Bay alone, and according to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Blue Ocean Bay was just a small corner in the Gulong Zone.


    "There will be one day when I will fight against the geniuses outside Sky Feather Island!" Zhao Feng said gently as battle-intent filled him.


    Of course, Zhao Feng wanted to see the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes or even the Eight Great God Eyes themselves the most, but Zhao Feng hadn''t obtained any information regarding the Eight Great God Eyes even after such a long time. Geniuses that had a bloodline from the Eight Great God Eyes wouldn''t appear in such a remote place in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "Hehehe, ignorant!" Xi Feng heard what Zhao Feng said on the way and shook his head with a laugh. He could easily crush a measly late-stage Mystic Light Realm expert, but this person said that he wanted to fight against the geniuses from the outside world?


    When one mentioned the true geniuses of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, even Xi Feng was filled with respect. According to what his master ¨C the Sky Feather Island Lord ¨C said, the prodigies of peak four-star forces or even five-star forces in the Gulong Zone had the battle-power of a Rank Three True God when they were a Demigod and were destined to become a Rank Three True God or even higher when they broke through.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with what Xi Feng said and moved into the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "The Dingsheng Auction Hall?" Zhao Feng''s footsteps paused for a slight moment when he saw a large auction hall.


    He had originally been planning to trade some resources he didn''t need for some he did need, but he suddenly remembered that there was no point in keeping the three substandard God weapons he looted from the three Elders of the Black-Tongued Lizard Race. If he took them to the auction, they might be able to go for a good price. After all, most of the people in the Exchange Spiritual Hall were between the early stages and peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm. Demigods could be occasionally seen as well, while True Gods were extremely rare. Thus, Substandard God weapons should go for a decent price.


    Furthermore, the items and resources Zhao Feng needed now were extremely valuable, so it was hard to find what he wanted in the shops. The auction hall might be a good choice for that too.


    Zhao Feng walked directly into this auction hall.


    "This guest, may I ask if you are selling or buying?" a pretty maid at the entrance said.


    "Selling!" Zhao Feng said. The maid then led Zhao Feng into a secret hall.


    "Guest, please take out what you are selling, and I will have a look at it!" An elder with dark blue eyes gave off cold air as he said with a faint smile.


    The auction obviously needed to confirm whether their items were real or fake, and they also needed to determine whether the value of the items was worthwhile to the auction.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng opened his hand, and three differently-shaped substandard God weapons appeared!


    "Three substandard God weapons!" The elder''s eyes lit up.


    Someone that could take out three substandard God weapons at once was definitely not simple. After all, substandard God weapons were extremely precious even to four-star powers.


    The elder suggested to sell these three substandard God Crystals separately in order to maximize the profit.


    "Sell these items as well!" Zhao Feng thought for a moment before deciding to auction off the rest of the resources within his interspatial dimension that he didn''t need.


    Many of these were resources that Zhao Feng had duplicated too many of in the past, some came from the spoils of war from the Black-Tongued Lizard Race, and some came from the payment that True God Sky Fire gave him. These resources were too low-level for him, and even the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t want them.


    "So many¡­!" The elder''s expression turned to surprise and joy. These resources were very useful to those at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm. Although not overly precious, the amount was shocking.


    "Guest, don''t worry. Because you are selling so many important items at once, you can directly enter this auction, and the Dingsheng Auction will definitely sell everything for a good price that satisfies you!" the blue-eyed elder said with a warm smile.


    The blue-eyed elder then took out a message token after sending Zhao Feng away with his eyes.


    "Keep an eye on that person. He''s only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but his wealth is at least on par with a True God!" The blue-eyed elder revealed a cunning smile.


    ¡­


    The auction was crowded with people, so Zhao Feng paid a high price to enter a VIP room.


    The auction soon started, but since the items were too low-rank, Zhao Feng didn''t bother at all and started to just cultivate within the room.


    The auction kept progressing. Even if two forces hated one another because of the auction, they wouldn''t attack each other in the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    Some of the ancient resources that Zhao Feng were selling came up. Zhao Feng''s huge amount of resources was split into several different tiers since that would increase the price.


    "Five hundred substandard God Crystals!" a cold voice sounded from the room next to Zhao Feng.


    "Six hundred substandard God Crystals!" A Demigod with fiery-red thick skin immediately called out.


    "Isn''t that Demigod Chen Yuhai from the Scarlet Sun Race?" Some people recognized Chen Yuhai''s identity. The Scarlet Sun Race was one of the stronger four-star forces in the area.


    "Hmph, you don''t know what''s good for you, do you!? Seven hundred substandard God Crystals!" a slightly angry voice sounded from the room next to Zhao Feng.


    "It''s Xi Feng!"


    "The disciple of the Sky Feather Island Lord!"


    This time, some of the people recognized Xi Feng''s voice, and Chen Yuhai instantly revealed a fearful expression.


    "Young Sir Xi Feng, this one didn''t know that you also needed these resources. I will give you one hundred substandard God Crystals later personally!" Chen Yuhai apologized.


    After Xi Feng exposed his identity, no one else competed against him. Xi Feng then bought a portion of Zhao Feng''s resources with a price of seven hundred substandard God Crystals. What Zhao Feng didn''t expect was that even more of his items were bought by Xi Feng at a very low price.


    The remaining items all exceeded Zhao Feng''s expectations and were bought by many experts.


    "What we are selling next is a Golden Yuan Stone. This stone contains a very pure Metal-elemental power, and it''s a necessity for creating God Crystals. Furthermore, this Golden Yuan Stone is of an extremely high grade¡­."


    Zhao Feng finally opened his eyes. Something he needed finally appeared.


    "The Golden Yuan Stone''s starting price is five hundred substandard God Crystals. Let the auction start!" the host of the auction said.


    "One thousand substandard God Crystals!" Zhao Feng, who was in the room next to Xi Feng, instantly said after the host finished speaking.


    "So rich! An increase of five hundred substandard God Crystals at once!"


    "Hmph, this Golden Yuan Stone is extremely big, so it''s worth that price!"


    Some of the people within the auction discussed.


    "Eleven hundred substandard God Crystals!" A blacksmith master thought for a moment before speaking.


    "Two thousand substandard God Crystals!" an emotionless voice sounded from the room next to Xi Feng.


    This time, the entire auction became dead-silent. Zhao Feng was just too crazy; he first raised the price to one thousand substandard God Crystals right away, then made it two thousand substandard God Crystals on his next bid. Some people even wondered whether he would raise the price to three thousand if someone else joined in.

 1155 Wild Ancien

    Chapter 1155 - Wild Ancient


    "Who is this person that can take out so many substandard God Crystals to buy this Golden Yuan Stone!?"


    "Two thousand substandard God Crystals ¨C even normal Demigods can''t take out so many!"


    Everyone wondered whether this person was an Elder of a powerful four-star force or something. Even Xi Feng was curious and wanted to know who was in the room next to him.


    Two thousand substandard God Crystals far exceeded the value of the Golden Yuan Stone, so no one competed against Zhao Feng. He was able to successfully buy it, and he did so because he was going to cultivate the Metal of Wind Lightning in the future.


    I have an entire substandard God Crystal mine in the Ancient Dream Realm, so two thousand substandard God Crystals is nothing! Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile.


    One substandard God Crystal mine was roughly the wealth of a weaker four-star force. From this, one could see how rich Zhao Feng was. Furthermore, the Earth Crystal Race also produced substandard God Crystals for Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng bought a few more precious items at an extremely high price. At this point, the attention he drew was not any less than the disciple of the Sky Feather Island Lord, Xi Feng.


    Zhao Feng had now spent over ten thousand substandard God Crystals. Only True God experts could take out so many substandard God Crystals.


    "What courage! This one would like to meet you after the auction ends!" Xi Feng''s voice sounded from the room next to Zhao Feng at this instant.


    The auction instantly quieted down. Now that Xi Feng wanted to know who this mysterious expert was, the latter would definitely give his name. They all wanted to know who this rich expert was, but no sound came from the room next to Xi Feng.


    Although Zhao Feng''s impression of Xi Feng wasn''t that good, he wasn''t against the idea of getting to know each another. After all, Xi Feng was the disciple of the Sky Feather Island Lord, and at some point, Zhao Feng would need to use the teleportation array that the Sky Feather Island Lord was in charge of. However, Zhao Feng didn''t want to reveal his identity right now since almost all the experts here would start keeping an eye on him. Zhao Feng didn''t want to go around finding trouble on purpose, so he kept silent.


    "This person¡­!" Xi Feng had a slightly angry expression. Since Zhao Feng didn''t say anything, he obviously didn''t want to become acquaintances.


    He was the disciple of the Sky Feather Island Lord! Even if the opposing party was a True God expert, they should still give him face. Instead, he was completely ignored in front of everyone.


    "The next item that we are auctioning is a substandard God weapon¡­." At this moment, the auction''s host broke the silence and continued the auction.


    The appearance of a substandard God weapon meant the auction''s climax was approaching, but it was unable to catch Zhao Feng''s attention.


    The last item that the auction sold was a treasure that could increase one''s chances of breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, but Zhao Feng was already completely confident in breaking through. The only issue for him was what Rank he would reach, so he didn''t participate in the bidding for this treasure.


    After the auction ended, Zhao Feng went to the inner area of the Dingsheng Auction Hall and took the payment for his sold items. Although he spent a lot, what he received in return from selling his items exceeded the amount he spent.


    Zhao Feng continued to walk around the Exchange Spiritual Hall after the Dingsheng Auction ended. Zhao Feng walked into a few shops that sold weapons, but he didn''t find any that suited him. Bows were relatively rare, so their price was lower even in auctions, at least whenever they showed up at all.


    Zhao Feng suddenly smelled some tasty meat and wine. There was also the sound of chattering as well.


    "Saint Pearl Tower¡­." Zhao Feng turned toward the building.


    The building was even bigger than the Dingsheng Auction Hall. From this, one could see how popular this place was. Cultivators only needed to absorb Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. Since they didn''t need to eat, this restaurant must have some unique points for it to be so popular.


    "Let''s go have a look inside!" Zhao Feng was slightly interested. He found a place where no one was sitting and sat down.


    "May I ask what this customer wants?" a slightly short waiter said energetically. He waved his hand, and a screen that contained the dishes and prices appeared in the air.


    This was Zhao Feng''s first time coming, and since he didn''t know anything, he just picked a few random dishes.


    "Ok, young sir, please wait a short while!" The waiter had a joyful expression. This customer had picked some of the priciest dishes that normal people couldn''t afford.


    "The food here seems to be made from cultivation resources and the flesh of rare beasts!" Zhao Feng inspected the food of the other customers.


    "Interesting." Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    The path of cultivation was filled with danger and extremely difficulty, and there were benefits to resting from time to time. Furthermore, the food here was made from resources. There was no downside to increasing one''s cultivation while eating good food.


    Zhao Feng''s food soon arrived, and he started to taste it without saying anything else.


    Miao miao!


    With a flash of silver, the little thieving cat appeared on the table.


    "As expected of a greedy cat!" Zhao Feng was slightly speechless.


    Ever since entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, the little thieving cat had always been in seclusion and rarely interacted with Zhao Feng, but now, the little thieving cat jumped out with a hungry expression.


    Zhao Feng revealed a surprised expression after closely inspecting the little thieving cat. At this time, the little thieving cat was a Demigod, and its foundation was extremely strong.


    This little cat has already surpassed me! Zhao Feng gulped.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat waved its paws at Zhao Feng.


    "You need a large amount of resources to prepare your breakthrough to the Heavenly Divine Realm?" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    The little thieving cat only recently became a Demigod, but it was already preparing to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm? What kind of monster was this cat?


    Unfortunately, Zhao Feng didn''t even have enough resources for himself, so he definitely wouldn''t be able to satisfy the little thieving cat. Besides, the little thieving cat needed a large amount of rare resources that Zhao Feng couldn''t supply even if he wanted to.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat sighed and revealed a look of mockery.


    Zhao Feng was speechless. The little thieving cat was saying that it would have to wait for Zhao Feng''s cultivation to catch up to get its resources.


    "Just eat and shut your cat mouth!" Zhao Feng said in dissatisfaction.


    "Did you hear that the Wild Ancient secret dimension that opens once every ten thousand years has become weird and might open earlier than usual?"


    "How is that possible? It''s only been a thousand years since the last time the Wild Ancient secret dimension opened!"


    Apart from the tasty food, the Saint Pearl Tower was a place where the experts of big forces talked to each another.


    The Wild Ancient secret dimension was one of the most well-known secret dimensions of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. It opened once every ten thousand years, and this had never changed since the beginning of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    The background of the Wild Ancient secret dimension was extremely mysterious.


    Apparently, at the beginning of time, there was only one Ancient Desolate Continent. It was extremely large and had no end. On a certain day, a large war between Gods and Demons happened in the Ancient Desolate Continent and shattered it. Heaven and Earth spread and turned into the current Fan Universe.


    The Ancient Desolate Continent that shattered turned into pieces of dust that spread across the Fan Universe. The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was the biggest piece of land that remained from the breaking of the Ancient Desolate Continent.


    Apparently, the Wild Ancient secret dimension was also a large piece of land left behind from the Ancient Desolate Continent, but it had never been exposed to the rest of the universe, and the living things inside still had the appearance of ancient times. The resources there were extremely rich, and there were possibly even inheritances from powerful beings of the Ancient Era.


    "Sigh, there''s no point in us talking about it. The Wild Ancient secret dimension is completely unrelated to us!"


    "The weakest people that can enter are from four-and-a-half-star forces!"


    Sighs sounded within the Saint Pearl Tower. Everyone present had only heard of the Wild Ancient secret dimension; none of them had actually seen it in their lives before.


    Four-and-a-half-star forces were forces that had an Ancient God ¨C Rank Seven True Gods. The entire Sky Feather Island didn''t have one Ancient God.


    "Only four-and-a-half-star forces have the right to enter the Wild Ancient secret dimension?" Zhao Feng was surprised. He didn''t think that he would hear news like this.


    ¡­only four-and-a-half-star forces can enter? Doesn''t that mean that the secret dimension is controlled by the five-star powers of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!? Zhao Feng''s heart shook.


    If a force needed an Ancient God to be considered a four-and-a-half-star power, then what about five-star powers? What kind of heaven-defying experts would they have? Thinking up to here, Zhao Feng felt that he was as small as an ant in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "The number one secret dimension of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods is fated to not be with me!" Zhao Feng shook his head with regret.


    Only the ruler of Blue Ocean Bay ¨C the Golden Jade Race ¨C could be considered a four-and-a-half-star power. With Zhao Feng''s current strength, putting aside obtaining a spot to enter, he wouldn''t even be able to get in contact with the Golden Jade Race, so Zhao Feng gave up this thought and decided to focus on cultivating. He would be able to see the broader lands of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods in the future regardless.


    "Hahaha, you don''t need to be so sad!" At this moment, a male in white and a middle-aged male with scarlet skin walked into the Saint Pearl Tower.


    "Young Sir Xi Feng is here!"


    "I''ll pay for all of Young Sir Xi Feng''s expenses this time!"


    At this moment, countless experts in the Saint Pearl Tower came forward and greeted Xi Feng.


    The scarlet-skinned male next to Xi Feng was Chen Yuhai from the auction.


    "My master, the Sky Feather Island Lord, will soon send me to the Golden Jade Race. I might be able to enter the Wild Ancient secret dimension!" Smugness appeared on Xi Feng''s handsome face.


    This was indeed the case. The Sky Feather Island Lord was planning on sending Xi Feng to the Golden Jade Race, but Xi Feng wasn''t truly confident he would be able to obtain a spot to enter the secret dimension. He actually hoped that the Wild Ancient secret dimension would open a bit later; this would give him time to prepare and fight against the prodigies of the Golden Jade Race.


    "Young Sir Xi Feng is indeed lucky!"


    "I didn''t think that Young Sir Xi Feng would represent Sky Feather Island and enter the number one secret dimension in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!"


    When everyone heard Xi Feng, they became even more warm to him.


    Xi Feng and Chen Yuhai scanned over the Saint Pearl Tower and found that there were people at every table. Xi Feng suddenly walked in Zhao Feng''s direction.


    "This friend, do you mind if my friend and I sit here?" Xi Feng''s warm smile hid cold intentions. In reality, his meaning was very clear ¨C he wanted to make Zhao Feng leave.


    Of course, the reason he picked Zhao Feng was because he was the only person alone at a table while the other tables all had at least three people. He also remembered the "boast" that Zhao Feng made when he entered the Exchange Spiritual Hall, so he had a slight impression of Zhao Feng.


    "Young Sir Xi Feng, there''s no need to talk to him!" Chen Yuhai had a grim expression as he looked at Zhao Feng angrily. A measly late-stage Mystic Light Realm was nothing in his eyes.


    However, Zhao Feng stood up at this moment.


    "Don''t bother, I''ve finished eating anyway. Young Sir Xi Feng can have this spot!" Zhao Feng picked up the little thieving cat and left.


    "Hmph, looks like you know what''s good for you!" Chen Yuhai harrumphed angrily before speaking with a smile, "Young Sir Xi Feng, please sit. I shall pay for this meal!"


    However, Xi Feng stood there and revealed a thoughtful expression on his handsome face. "That person''s voice is slightly familiar. I feel like I''ve heard it somewhere before¡­."


    Xi Feng suddenly remembered the cold voice that kept on calling out high prices in the room next to his in the auction.

 1156 Killing One After Another

    Chapter 1156 - Killing One After Another


    Zhao Feng walked out from the northern gate of the Exchange Spiritual Hall after leaving the Saint Peal Tower.


    Whoosh! Weng~~


    Zhao Feng turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the distance.


    "I didn''t come here for nothing this time. I managed to obtain such important news and taste the food of the Saint Pearl Tower!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat agreed that the food of the Saint Pearl Tower tasted good and that Zhao Feng should go there often.


    "Okay, we''ll go next time if we have the chance!" Zhao Feng agreed with the little thieving cat.


    "Hmph. You won''t have the chance to in the future!" In the next instant, a cold voice sounded from a forest several miles behind Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    A golden arrow radiating a cold aura shot toward Zhao Feng with the speed of lightning.


    Boom! Peng!


    Golden light exploded, and a golden storm started to spread.


    "As expected of Senior Lu Wei. He never misses!"


    "Senior Lu Wei''s arrow has probably already killed him. We don''t even need to do anything. The upper echelon of the family has overestimated that brat!"


    Two cultivators at the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm next to Lu Wei laughed with cold expressions. The three cultivators all had two shared characteristics; they had a pair of blue eyes and faint white fur that gave off a cold sensation.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    The golden storm in the distance suddenly exploded, and a tall youth covered in golden-white lightning suddenly appeared.


    "Looks like this person has cultivated a profound body-strengthening technique!"


    "He isn''t simple. Attack together and kill him!"


    The two peak-stage Mystic Light Realm members of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race jumped out from the forest. Lu Wei was slightly slower as he looked at Zhao Feng with puzzlement, but since the others of his race had already charged out, Lu Wei focused and raised the golden bow in his hand.


    Weng~


    A golden arrow shot out with a Whoosh!


    "I truly didn''t come for nothing. The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race is giving me presents even after I leave the Exchange Spiritual Hall? I''ll take it!" Zhao Feng laughed and activated his Sacred Lightning Body as he charged forward.


    "Cocky!" One of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race members mocked when he heard what Zhao Feng said, but in the next instant, a flash of dark yellow lightning appeared and slammed down with a terrifying force of gravity and lightning.


    Boom! Peng!


    This member of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was scorched black and he started falling.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated the Fire of Wind Lightning and used part of his Divine Power as he thrust out.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The palm was like a mountain as it slammed into the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race member and completely destroyed his soul and body.


    "This¡­!" The other member of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race stood in utter shock, and his legs started to tremble in fear. A peak-stage Mystic Light Realm expert was killed in just one move. How was this possible? How could a late-stage Mystic Light Realm do this? The only possibility he could think of was that this youth was a True God expert that was hiding his cultivation.


    "This person''s strength¡­!" Lu Wei in the distance was shocked. He felt a sense of danger the instant Zhao Feng revealed his true strength.


    Run! This was the first thought in Lu Wei''s mind.


    Whoosh!


    Lu Wei turned into a streak of light and shot into the distance.


    "This person will definitely not dare to attack me as long as I return to the Exchange Spiritual Hall!" A sense of calmness appeared in Lu Wei''s panicked expression.


    Weng~~~


    A pair of scarlet wings of lightning spread behind Zhao Feng''s back.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique and charged toward Lu Wei.


    "¡­chasing after Lu Wei?" The other member of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race instantly let out a breath after seeing Zhao Feng chase after Lu Wei. However, in the next moment, a streak of silver flashed across him.


    Shua~~~


    A black ripple sliced this Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race member in half, including his soul.


    "How is this possible? This spiritual pet¡­!?"


    The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race member''s face was filled with shock. He never would have thought that a spiritual pet would kill him. It seemed like its owner simply found it too disdainful to do it himself.


    Plop!


    The body that had split in two fell to the ground.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat put the black blade away and took the interspatial dimension away.


    ¡­


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    Zhao Feng used the flying technique and instantly caught up to Lu Wei.


    "Senior, forgive me! I was forced to do this by the family!" Lu Wei immediately started to beg when he felt the pressure descend upon him. Although he was a Demigod, he specialized in stealth and assassination. Once the enemy got close to him, his battle-power would reduce dramatically.


    Zhao Feng cultivated the Dao of Lightning and trained in a profound body-strengthening technique, which was a perfect combination for close combat. Zhao Feng was also faster than him, so Lu Wei had no chance of winning.


    "All I know that is that you came to kill me. I never go easy on those that want me to die!" Zhao Feng laughed in disdain. When one made preparations to kill someone else, they also needed to prepare to be killed.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    A purple-and-gold fire appeared from Zhao Feng''s left eye alongside an undulation of strong eye-bloodline power.


    Voom!


    Lu Wei instantly screamed when Zhao Feng''s soul attack landed on him, but he was unable to continue escaping.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated the Fire of Wind Lightning and summoned his Divine Power as he thrust out his palm toward Lu Wei.


    Boom! Peng! Bam!


    Lu Wei''s figure was thrown several miles before finally turning into ashes from the terrifying power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    "My Sacred Lightning Body contains the power of God Tribulation Lightning, so the damage caused by the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm is even stronger!" Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression when he felt the power of that palm just now. His power was truly comparable to a Rank One True God in terms of both offense and defense.


    Zhao Feng didn''t leave after killing Lu Wei. Instead, he just stood there. Everything within ten thousand miles was dead-silent, as if everything was frozen.


    "Illusion Soul Blast!" Zhao Feng''s eye suddenly focused on a certain place ten thousand miles away.


    Weng~


    A purple-and-gold mist instantly snuck toward the forest.


    Whoosh!


    A red flame instantly shot into the air and flew in the direction of the Exchange Spiritual Hall. This person was scarlet and seemed like he was on fire. It was Chen Yuhai from the Scarlet Sun Race.


    "Senior, forgive me! I just came here by coincidence and have no other intentions!" Chen Yuhai said while flying away.


    In reality, Xi Feng had sent him after Zhao Feng to kill the latter, but he found that the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was also planning to kill Zhao Feng, so he hid in the darkness. As long as Zhao Feng died either way, his task was complete.


    However, in just the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng killed everyone from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race that came after him. Although Chen Yuhai was stronger than Lu Wei, he still wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match.


    "Coincidence, huh? You ''coincidentally'' followed me for a very long time!" Zhao Feng''s playful voice sounded.


    Chen Yuhai smiled bitterly. Zhao Feng noticed the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race and him long ago.


    "Even if it was a coincidence, I need to kill you!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned cold.


    He noticed that there were people following him long ago, so he left the Exchange Spiritual Hall to finish off all these troubles.


    Zhao Feng was very lucky that Xi Feng didn''t come. While Zhao Feng could kill Xi Feng, behind Xi Feng was the Sky Feather Island Lord, and Zhao Feng couldn''t afford to offend him right now.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng used a Soul eye-bloodline technique after closing the distance.


    Voom!


    A purple-and-gold fire exploded in Chen Yuhai''s face, but Chen Yuhai''s soul was stronger than the previous opponent and was able to resist for a while.


    The kept point though was that Chen Yuhai found the target to survival ¨C the Exchange Spiritual Hall not far away. Once he entered the Exchange Spiritual Hall, no one in Sky Feather Island apart from the Sky Feather Island Lord would dare to kill him.


    ¡­


    Many experts of different races were lining up outside the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    Boom!


    The sound of battle appeared in the distance, and a terrifying pressure of fire and lightning crushed over.


    "Isn''t that Senior Chen Yuhai from the Scarlet Sun Race!?" A nonhuman expert at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm exclaimed in surprise.


    "Someone seems to be chasing after Senior Chen Yuhai!"


    "Which race''s expert is chasing after Senior Chen Yuhai?"


    It wasn''t just those in line that were surprised; even the guards of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race looked over in surprise. The Scarlet Sun Race was also a four-star power. Although not as strong as the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, they were still in the top ten among the four-star forces in Sky Feather Island.


    "Sky Penetrating Finger!" Zhao Feng released the ancient bloodline power within his index finger and fused it with the force of Wind Lightning.


    Whoosh!


    A scarlet-golden light flashed through the air and pierced through Chen Yuhai''s head.


    Whoosh!


    The scarlet-golden light kept on shooting forward and killed a weak cultivator from another race in the line nearby.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng instantly appeared in the air above Chen Yuhai and released a terrifying soul attack with the power of God Tribulation Lightning. Chen Yuhai''s weak soul was instantly destroyed, and Zhao Feng took his interspatial dimension.


    Si!


    The area was dead-silent as all the experts near the entrance of the Exchange Spiritual Hall were stunned. The Second Elder of the Scarlet Sun Race, Chen Yuhai, was killed so simply? Who was this golden-haired youth?


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with these people and just took out a message token. "I''m outside the Exchange Spiritual Hall. Come on!"


    A silver-gray streak of light flashed and landed on Zhao Feng''s shoulder.


    The Green Jade Sheep Race trio soon walked out from the gate.


    "What''s going on¡­?" Uncle Qing felt that the atmosphere wasn''t right, but he didn''t think too much about it.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng circulated his Intent and covered the Green Jade Sheep Race trio with it.


    Weng~~


    Divine Power filled the Misty Spatial World.


    Whoosh!


    The group started to disappear in a flash of silver.


    "Who is that person that can kill Chen Yuhai so easily?"


    "Could that be a treasure that can pass through space?"


    The gate slowly returned to normal after Zhao Feng and company left.


    ¡­


    Next to Zhao Feng''s residence in the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race:


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng and the Green Jade Sheep Race trio slowly appeared with a flash of silver.


    Is that a treasure that can pass through space? Uncle Qing was stunned. Such treasures were more valuable than others of the same grade.


    "Senior Zhao, we will be leaving now!" The Green Jade Sheep Race trio didn''t dare to continue disturbing Zhao Feng.


    "What a big energy expenditure!" Zhao Feng murmured.


    Even though he used Divine Power to teleport, it still spent a lot of his energy. The Green Jade Sheep Race trio had extremely low cultivations and could basically be ignored. The important issue was that the structure of space in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was different from the continent zone, so it required more energy to move through it.


    If he had used the same amount of energy in the continent zone, Zhao Feng would have been able to travel several times as far.


    Zhao Feng soon took out a message token.


    "Little Friend Zhao Feng, come to my place. I have something to discuss with you!" True God Sky Fire''s voice sounded.

 1157 Scarlet Sun Race

    Chapter 1157 - Scarlet Sun Race


    Zhao Feng immediately came to where True God Sky Fire was in seclusion. First Elder was also here.


    "Why does Patriarch want to see me?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    True God Sky Fire sent him a message the moment he returned to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. From this, he could see that True God Sky Fire was paying attention to him. He waited specifically for him to return, so there must have been some important issue that True God Sky Fire wanted to talk to Zhao Feng about.


    "What does Little Friend Zhao think of the Exchange Spiritual Hall?" On the side, First Elder revealed a faint smile and spoke.


    "Exchange Spiritual Hall?" Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He thought that First Elder knew about him leaving the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race for the Exchange Spiritual Hall. However, he could tell that the Exchange Spiritual Hall was a popular place, so perhaps First Elder didn''t know what happened.


    Only a few places in the broad Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were fair. Even experts that roamed alone or those that were avoiding enemies would occasionally enter the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "Little Friend Zhao should know that the controller of the nearest Exchange Spiritual Hall is the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, right?" First Elder continued.


    "Of course!"


    Most of the guards around the Exchange Spiritual Hall were from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race. How could Zhao Feng not know this? Furthermore, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race that was involved with the auction had tried to kill him afterward; Zhao Feng wouldn''t forget about this so easily. When Zhao Feng had enough strength in the future, he would teach the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race a lesson.


    "In reality, the controller of the Exchange Spiritual Hall is not set. A competition for the Exchange Spiritual Hall is held once every millennium to determine who the next controller will be. There is still one year left till the next competition for the Exchange Spiritual Hall¡­." True God Sky Fire spoke at this moment. He thought that Zhao Feng would have already figured out what his goal was after First Elder said so much, but Zhao Feng still had a careless attitude, so he spoke up.


    Zhao Feng paused for a moment. He really hadn''t heard about any competition for the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "So, Patriarch wants me to represent the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race and fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall?" Zhao Feng instantly knew what True God Sky Fire and First Elder meant. However, Zhao Feng was shocked at the appetite of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race; they were one of the weakest four-star powers in Sky Feather Island, but they were planning to eat such a big piece of meat?


    "That''s right!" True God Sky Fire gave an awkward smile. He was suspicious about whether Zhao Feng was actually from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods or not that he didn''t even know about this.


    "Little Friend Zhao has been to the Exchange Spiritual Hall and should know how much profit a place like that would generate over a thousand years. In addition, if the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race takes control of the Exchange Spiritual Hall, Little Friend Zhao will have some special rights¡­." True God Sky Fire immediately offered benefits.


    "Furthermore, anyone participating in the competition has to be a Demigod or weaker. Little Friend Zhao should have no problem at all!" First Elder spoke at this moment and tempted Zhao Feng along with True God Sky Fire.


    All the forces in Sky Feather Island were four-star powers, so True God experts were the peak experts of every force. If True Gods fought for the Exchange Spiritual Hall and were heavily injured or killed, it might cause the four-star power behind them to fall into danger. After all, there were many feuds between the various forces of Sky Feather Island, so once a certain race was at a disadvantage, it was very likely an enemy would attack.


    Therefore, Sky Feather Island set the rule that only those below True Gods could participate in the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall. There was no age limit. From True God Sky Fire''s point of view, Zhao Feng''s strength was basically unparalleled against anyone that wasn''t a True God yet. Apart from Xi Feng ¨C the disciple of the Sky Feather Island Lord ¨C he shouldn''t have a match at all. There would be no problem in him taking over one Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "I''m very interested in the Exchange Spiritual Hall and can agree to your request, but¡­" Zhao Feng''s tone slowed down, raising the hearts of True God Sky Fire and First Elder to the top of their lungs. "I want 60% of the profit generated by the Exchange Spiritual Hall!"


    Zhao Feng''s words almost made True God Sky Fire jump from his seat. Zhao Feng wanted 60% of the profit? The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was an enormous four-star power, but they would only get 40% while a single person got 60%? Zhao Feng was ripping them off!


    First Elder stood dazed and looked at Zhao Feng in shock. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to have such terrifying terms.


    "Of course, this 60% isn''t just compensation for taking the Exchange Spiritual Hall¡­." Zhao Feng''s expression turned cold as he continued, and the expressions of True God Sky Fire and First Elder returned to normal.


    They obviously knew what Zhao Feng meant. The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race only had one True God; even if they managed to obtain the Exchange Spiritual Hall, they wouldn''t have the strength to protect it on their own and would only bring disaster upon themselves.


    For example, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race that was ranked fourth among all the forces in Sky Feather Island had three True God experts. Destroying the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would be extremely easy for them. However, Zhao Feng''s strength might very likely have reached the level of a Rank One True God. As long as Zhao Feng helped, it would mean that the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would have two True God-level battle-powers. This would push them into the top ten forces within Sky Feather Island and scare off the other forces.


    In reality, True God Sky Fire and First Elder had already thought about this as well or else they would have told Zhao Feng about this issue before they saw his strength. They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to know everything so clearly at such a young age.


    "I can agree to Little Friend Zhao''s request, but Little Friend Zhao can''t forget about the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race after you break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm!" True God Sky Fire hesitated for a moment before agreeing.


    From his point of view, Zhao Feng already had a Divine Body and should be able to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm at any moment, but he was purposely suppressing his cultivation in order to become to a higher-ranked God upon breakthrough. When Zhao Feng became a Demigod, he would be able to obtain a glorious title ¨C Quasi-God.


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had a tier of peerless prodigies; when they reached the level of Demigod, they could break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm with 100% confidence, but they suppressed their cultivation and strengthened their foundation in order to become a higher-ranked God. These peerless prodigies already had the battle-power of a Rank One, Rank Two, or even Rank Three True God when they were a Demigod. It was unsuitable to call them Demigods at that point, so people called them Quasi-Gods.


    From True God Sky Fire''s point of view, once Zhao Feng became a Demigod, he would definitely be able to obtain the title of Quasi-God. He obviously wanted to attract a genius like this. Once Zhao Feng broke through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, he might be able to become a Rank Two God directly.


    "That''s good. Patriarch just needs to tell me when the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall is!" Zhao Feng immediately left after seeing True God Sky Fire agree.


    Since everyone that participated in the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall was below the True God level, this issue posed no challenge to Zhao Feng.


    Back when True God Tian Fa had descended to the continent zone and suppressed his cultivation, he fought almost twenty Demigods and several dozen Sacred Kings alone. He was extremely heroic and fierce. Although the experts in the Ancient Desolate Ream of Gods were stronger than the experts of the continent zone, it would be extremely easy for Zhao Feng to deal with seven or eight Demigods with his Rank One True God strength. Zhao Feng wouldn''t reject an offer that gave him a large amount of resources and had no danger at all.


    Zhao Feng immediately entered seclusion after returning to his hall. Zhao Feng had heard other people talk about the Wild Ancient secret dimension in the Saint Pearl Tower, and this had ignited his will to become stronger.


    No one in Sky Feather Island had the right to enter the Wild Ancient secret dimension; only the Golden Jade Race in Blue Ocean Bay had the right to do so. In the outside world, there were four-and-a-half-star forces, peak four-star powers, and even legendary five-star forces.


    "I will only be able to see the view of the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods when I become strong enough¡­." Zhao Feng''s gaze was extremely tough and decisive. The power of his soul had increased and become purer.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Large amounts of resources that contained the element of Earth, Wind, and Lightning appeared before Zhao Feng. At the same time, Zhao Feng multitasked and cultivated the Divine Forming Technique, the Wind Lightning Raging Finger, the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, and also strengthened his Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    One day, the Earth of Wind Lightning around Zhao Feng suddenly became chaotic, and the aura radiating from Zhao Feng''s body increased. This was the sign showing that his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had broken through to the peak stages of the 9th level.


    This had always been a small bottleneck stopping Zhao Feng. Logically speaking, when the Earth of Wind Lightning reached the peak stages, Zhao Feng''s cultivation should also have reached the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but now, Zhao Feng managed to let the Earth of Wind Lightning break through while suppressing his cultivation.


    Zhao Feng didn''t stop after breaking through this small bottleneck. He took out more resources to continue cultivating the Earth of Wind Lightning. A month later, Zhao Feng''s Earth of Wind Lightning strengthened once more with the help of many resources.


    Now that the Earth of Wind Lightning had reached the peak stages and Zhao Feng''s foundation was so strong, he would soon be able to break through to the 10th level ¨C the Metal of Wind Lightning. However, Zhao Feng just focused on strengthening his foundation so that he could break through to become a higher-ranked God in the future. This was why he spent so many resources to cultivate the Earth of Wind Lightning.


    One day, True God Sky Fire''s expression changed slightly, and he opened his eyes in surprise. He quickly took out a message token and sent a message before flying out.


    The sky in the distance had turned red. It was as if the sky was burning. A flaming red light with terrifying heat descended into the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. The leader was clad in scarlet flames and radiated a stunning scarlet light. He was like a sun, and he caught everyone''s attention.


    "Sky Fire, get out here!" This elder roared as a wave of hot air swept toward the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race as if it was going to melt everything.


    At this moment, True God Sky Fire and the five Elders charged out.


    Hu~


    True God Sky Fire waved his hand, and a scarlet-golden fire extinguished the elder''s flames.


    "True God Sun Flame, what is the meaning of this?" True God Sky Fire looked at True God Sun Flame with an ugly expression.


    True God Sun Flame was the patriarch of the Scarlet Sun Race. He had led himself, another True God expert, and most of their upper echelon to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. The Scarlet Sun Race was one of the top ten strongest four-star powers in Sky Feather Island, and they weren''t something that the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race could fight against.


    "Hmph, True God Sky Fire, hand over Zhao Feng or else there will be no end to this!" True God Sun Flame''s eyes were cold, and he had a cocky expression. He didn''t put True God Sky Fire in his eyes at all. He believed that the measly Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would know what was good for them and obediently hand over that human named Zhao Feng.

 1158 Force Back

    Chapter 1158 - Force Back


    "Senior Zhao?" The expressions of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race members turned to surprise. They didn''t expect that the Scarlet Sun Race had come for Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng!?" True God Sky Fire''s eyebrows furrowed. The only place Zhao Feng had been to recently was the Exchange Spiritual Hall. This meant that Zhao Feng must have offended the Scarlet Sun Race in the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    In the past, True God Sky Fire might have handed over Zhao Feng due to the pressure of the Scarlet Sun Race. After all, the Scarlet Sun Race was a strong four-star power in Sky Feather Island, and the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was one of the weakest. In a head-on clash, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would be at a huge disadvantage.


    However, Zhao Feng had just agreed to True God Sky Fire''s request to participate in the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall. Once they handed over Zhao Feng, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would lose the opportunity to rise. They would probably stay at the bottom level of Sky Feather Island forever.


    "Patriarch, we don''t know what sinful acts this Zhao Feng has committed. Let''s just hand him over. Only then will we be able to evade the disaster!" A cold light flashed through the eyes of Second Elder Si Liuhan as he spoke to the Patriarch.


    "Patriarch, please place the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race first!" Third Elder also agreed.


    "Hmph, hand him over!" Next to True God Sun Flame was a middle-aged man who harrumphed impatiently.


    This person was True God Giant Flame, someone that had broken through in the last several thousand years. It was because of his appearance that the Scarlet Sun Race was able to improve from a low-ranked four-star power to a middle-ranked four-star power.


    "Zhao Feng is my race''s esteemed guest. If I hand him over now, how will the others in Sky Feather Island look at me?" A sharp light shot out of True God Sky Fire''s eyes as his aura increased.


    "Hmm?" The upper echelon of the Scarlet Sun Race in the sky looking down over the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race were surprised. It was obvious that none of them expected True God Sky Fire to decline!


    "Patriarch, Zhao Feng is just an outsider. How can you not care about the safety of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race because of him¡­?" Second Elder Si Liuhan''s expression changed dramatically as shocked filled his eyes.


    "Shut up!" True God Sky Fire roared at Si Liuhan.


    He had thought about it carefully before making this decision. As long as Zhao Feng had the strength of a Rank One True God, then they would be able to survive this danger. Once they took over the Exchange Spiritual Palace, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would be able to rapidly expand. Zhao Feng also played a key part in whether they would be able to guard the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    True God Sky Fire was betting everything on Zhao Feng. If it worked, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would rise. If it failed, they would have reached the point of no return.


    "Good, someone from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race killed the Second Elder of the Scarlet Sun Race, Chen Yuhai. Today, I shall let you all see the rage of the Scarlet Sun Race!" The scarlet fire around True God Sun Flame shot into the air and released limitless heat.


    "Are you looking for me?" a voice suddenly sounded just as the battle was about to start.


    Whoosh!


    A dark yellow bolt of lightning instantly appeared next to True God Sky Fire. There was also a silver-gray cat on this person''s shoulder.


    "Zhao Feng!" True God Sun Flame looked at Zhao Feng angrily. News travelled very fast in the Exchange Spiritual Hall, so it was very easy to distinguish Zhao Feng''s features.


    Second Elder, Third Elder, and a few others of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race also revealed enraged expressions. The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was only facing such danger because of Zhao Feng, but since their Patriarch was unwilling to hand over Zhao Feng, they didn''t dare to do anything.


    "Zhao Feng, the Scarlet Sun Race has two Rank One True Gods!" True God Sky Fire said as he saw Zhao Feng arrive.


    His meaning was very clear; as long as Zhao Feng was able to stall one of the True Gods, this battle was as good as won. After all, True God Sun Flame had come here with only a portion of their clansmen, and this was the main headquarters of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, so the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had the advantage in numbers.


    "It''s just two Rank One True Gods. There''s nothing to worry about!" Zhao Feng inspected the Scarlet Sun Race and smiled faintly.


    The hearts of all experts from both races shook. "Just two Rank One True Gods. There''s nothing to worry about." If a Rank Two True God said this, there would be nothing wrong with it, but a human at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm said it. Many from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race even wanted to laugh, but they couldn''t because they were facing such huge danger.


    True God Sky Fire and First Elder froze, and they both squeezed out a smile. Obviously, they hoped that Zhao Feng wouldn''t be scared of two Rank One True Gods, but wasn''t this a little too much?


    On the other hand, the upper echelon members of the Scarlet Sun Race had extremely ugly expressions. According to the intel, Chen Yuhai had been killed without any resistance, and he was a Demigod. This meant that Zhao Feng was indeed very strong.


    Could he have hidden his cultivation? True God Sun Flame guessed in his heart. This human at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm was so calm even when facing such big danger; this made True God Sun Flame feel uneasy. After all, he was a True God that had lived for hundreds of millennia, and he didn''t act rashly.


    "Zhao Feng, if you know what''s good for you, then come with us!" True God Giant Flame roared at this moment.


    "Let me see if you have the ability to make me!" Zhao Feng revealed a disdainful look.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat on Zhao Feng''s shoulder also made faces at True God Giant Flame to show its disdain.


    "You¡­! Good! Today, I will kill you personally!" The fire around True God Giant Flame''s body instantly rose and made the ground hot.


    "I also want to witness the strength of a Rank One True God!" Golden-white lightning flashed around Zhao Feng''s body as his figure grew taller, and he charged forward like a metallic mountain of lightning.


    The other members of the two races didn''t move at all. Second Elder and Third Elder started to think; if Zhao Feng was finished off by True God Giant Flame, then the problem would be resolved. True God Sky Fire and First Elder wanted to use this chance to see Zhao Feng''s true strength.


    "This brat dares to fight against True God Giant Flame!?" True God Scarlet Flame paused. It didn''t make sense that a measly late-stage Mystic Light Realm dared to fight against a Rank One True God.


    "Scorching Flame Ignition!"


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!''


    A flaming red light and a ball of dark lightning clashed.


    Boom!


    An explosion sounded in Heaven and Earth as fire, earth, and lightning swept outward. True God Sky Fire immediately circulated his Divine Power to block the remanant power from reaching the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    Whoosh!


    Two figures shot out from the center of the explosion.


    "Divine Body!" True God Giant Flame was shocked. A measly late-stage Mystic Light Realm had the Divine Body of a Rank One True God? Furthermore, Zhao Feng also cultivated a very profound body-strengthening technique, giving him powerful defense. Zhao Feng''s attacks also contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning; even though True God Giant Flame was a Rank One True God, he didn''t feel good right now.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng felt a searing pain in his chest as a scarlet fire started to enter his body and burn.


    "Hmph, the bloodline of the Scarlet Sun Race allows us to send a unique toxic fire into the enemy''s body!" True God Giant Flame laughed coldly. In the exchange just now, he realized that Zhao Feng didn''t have a bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, an ancient bloodline was a symbol of status. If one had a terrifying bloodline, they might even be taken away by peak four-star powers or even five-star powers.


    However, right at this moment, a red light suddenly appeared around Zhao Feng.


    Voom!


    Zhao Feng was covered in a red glass-like fire. The aura of this bloodline was extremely chaotic and fierce as it instantly devoured the toxic fire.


    Zhao Feng''s Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline had evolved after using so many precious resources and bloodlines. It wasn''t weaker than the Scarlet Sun bloodline that was ranked in the eight thousands of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    "What!?" True God Giant Flame was shocked. He hadn''t felt any bloodline from Zhao Feng''s body a moment ago, but now, a powerful bloodline had appeared around him. It didn''t seem to be an ancient bloodline, but its strength was actually slightly stronger than the Scarlet Sun bloodline.


    "A Divine Body and a unique bloodline. The battle-power of this person is probably on par with True God Giant Flame!" True God Sun Flame analyzed based on what happened in the last couple seconds. This meant that the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race basically had two Rank One True God experts. If they started a war now, it would result in both sides being heavily injured.


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Feng was still hiding a bloodline!" True God Sky Fire was surprised.


    Not everyone in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had an ancient bloodline. Even though some didn''t have any ancient bloodlines, they used their own effort to cultivate to the top. There was a being like this a hundred million years ago. He didn''t have any bloodline, but he rose like a meteor, defeated all the prodigies of every zone, and finally became a divine king in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    The clansmen of both races were filled with disbelief. A late-stage Mystic Light Realm was able to fight against a Rank One True God? How was this possible?


    "Hmph, let me witness the strength of your Fire bloodline!" Although True God Giant Flame now knew of Zhao Feng''s true strength, he was still very interested in Zhao Feng''s unique bloodline. Besides, he hadn''t used his full power in the exchange a moment ago. This time, he was going to crush Zhao Feng and recover his face.


    Boom!


    Fire started to bubble around True God Giant Flame and radiate a scarlet light.


    "Then I shall let you see!" Zhao Feng''s mouth curled upward.


    Weng!


    Zhao Feng''s index finger released part of the Ice Imperial Spear''s seal, and he merged the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline into it.


    "Scarlet Sun Divine Fire!"


    "Wind Lightning Raging Finger!"


    The two scarlet figures clashed like two suns. This time, one of the scarlet figures was sent flying, leaving behind a trail of fire in his wake.


    "That''s¡­" Several bloody holes could be seen in True God Giant Flame''s chest, and blood spurted out of them.


    "Giant Flame!" True God Sun Flame called out. Giant Flame used a divine technique just now but was still at a disadvantage. This shocked Sun Flame.


    "You are very strong. There''s nothing wrong with you killing Chen Yuhai. Let''s go!" True God Sun Flame immediately said and left the territory of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race with True God Giant Flame and the others.


    Strength was everything in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and the strength that Zhao Feng displayed wasn''t any weaker than a Rank One True God. Now that the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had two experts with the battle-power of a Rank One True God, the Scarlet Sun Race wouldn''t dare to fight against them anymore.


    Everyone from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race stood in shock after the Scarlet Sun Race left. The stunning scene they just saw couldn''t escape their minds. Senior Zhao had managed to injure True God Giant Flame from the Scarlet Sun Race!


    "Patriarch, if there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving now!" Zhao Feng greeted before disappearing.


    Zhao Feng''s Earth of Wind Lightning and his Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline had made many improvements lately, but True God Giant Flame was considered a new True God, so there was nothing to be proud of in injuring him. Zhao Feng would only be happy if he could heavily injure an old True God like True God Sun Flame.


    "Go back to what you were doing!" True God Sky Fire roared and woke everyone up. The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race started to slowly return to normal.


    None of them thought that the Scarlet Sun Race that had come over so fiercely would leave just like that. Everyone from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race felt that the race was slowly rising, and this all seemed to start when Zhao Feng arrived.

 1159 Metal of Wind and Lightning

    Chapter 1159 - Metal of Wind Lightning


    Zhao Feng started to cultivate again after forcing back the Scarlet Sun Race.


    With his current strength, putting aside the Blue Ocean Bay and the eighteen zones of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he couldn''t even roam around Sky Feather Island freely.


    With the help of an enormous amount of resources, Zhao Feng broke through the small bottleneck in the Earth of Wind Lightning and kept on improving. There were signs of breaking through to the next level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    "There are still a lot more Earth-elemental resources. It''d be best if I absorb them all, then break through to the 10th level ¨C the Metal of Wind Lightning!"


    Zhao Feng continued to suppress his cultivation as he absorbed resources in a frenzy. He had already made a great deal of preparations for the Earth of Wind Lightning, so he still had leftovers even though he was about to break through.


    In regard to another issue, the resistance of Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body against God Tribulation Lightning was extremely strong since he was constantly using it to refine his Sacred Lightning Body for some time now. It could even store God Tribulation Lightning.


    Zhao Feng could also directly channel the power of God Tribulation Lightning from the Lightning God Crystal into his Sacred Lightning Body. If he did that, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body would no longer be just a defensive method and could instead be used for offense as well.


    Because the Lightning God Crystal contained such a large amount of God Tribulation Lightning, Zhao Feng wasn''t able to duplicate it, so he prepared to absorb some more power of God Tribulation Lightning and only duplicate it later. He might also just wait until his Soul Intent became stronger. At that point, Zhao Feng would be able to store the power of God Tribulation Lightning forever.


    Although he couldn''t duplicate the Lightning God Crystal, there should be no problem in duplicating the Misty Spatial World.


    One day, Zhao Feng moved all the resources and living things within the Misty Spatial World into another interspatial dimension. This interspatial dimension was taken from Chen Yuhai. Its grade wasn''t bad; it was close to the level of a substandard God item, and it could store living things as well.


    Zhao Feng then put the Misty Spatial World into the dimension of his left eye and started to duplicate it. Zhao Feng planned to give Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan one each so they could leave and go to other places. Zhao Feng also wanted one for back-up, so this meant he needed a total of three more Misty Spatial Worlds.


    Duplicating a substandard God item was extremely difficult and required a lot of time, so Zhao Feng spent all his time in seclusion.


    In the outside world, Sky Feather Island started to become more crowded as people moved through the Exchange Spiritual Halls.


    "I wonder which races will be in control of the Exchange Spiritual Halls this time!"


    "I heard that one of the geniuses of the Green Feather Race obtained the inheritance of a True God by coincidence and is now very strong!"


    "The genius of the Shark Tooth Race, Seng Yu, can already exchange several blows with a Rank One True God!"


    The experts of different races in the Saint Pearl Tower discussed who they thought would win while they ate the delicious food.


    "Brother Zhang, tell us about the prodigies of the Scarlet Sun Race!" A youth who was eating with a dark-red-skinned male asked.


    The Scarlet Sun Race was a powerful four-star force ranked in the top ten of Sky Feather Island. Although their prodigies might not be as strong as the top five forces, they should still be very strong.


    "The Scarlet Sun Race¡­ will not be participating in the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall!" Brother Zhang said in an awkward manner. He felt like he lost face when he said this in front of everyone, but the Scarlet Sun Race would indeed not participate in the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall this time.


    "Brother Zhang, is there a reason why?" The friend that was drinking with him asked in surprise. The surrounding customers were all curious as well.


    "The prodigies of the Scarlet Sun Race aren''t as strong as before!" Brother Zhang sighed and said.


    Of course, this wasn''t actually the case. The Scarlet Sun Race had actually trained a group of geniuses and chose the strongest of them for the competition, but they gave up on the Exchange Spiritual Hall after they attacked the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race half a year ago. All of this was due to a youth named Zhao Feng. He was only at the late stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but he had severely injured True God Giant Flame. Such strength made the prodigies of the race lose their confidence.


    Brother Zhang had been present as well, witnessing it with his own eyes. After that event, the upper echelon members of the Scarlet Sun Race were sure that the closest Exchange Spiritual Hall would fall into the hands of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. This was also why the Scarlet Sun Race and the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race weren''t fighting. However, no one knew that True God Giant Flame had been injured by an unknown human since the Scarlet Sun Race locked down all information.


    Everyone within the Saint Pearl Tower could tell that this person from the Scarlet Sun Race wasn''t willing to tell them the truth. Although they were curious as to what the real reason was, their attention was soon attracted by other topics.


    Within a dark palace made of ice in a forbidden area of the Exchange Spiritual Hall:


    "Patriarch, what should we do this time for the competition for the Exchange Spiritual Hall?"


    "That Zhao Feng is too terrifying. He killed the Demigod and two peak-stage Mystic Light Realm experts that we sent out!"


    "Apparently, the Scarlet Sun Race attacked the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race but returned without even fighting. That must''ve been because of Zhao Feng!"


    Many of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race upper echelon members were extremely worried.


    In particular, one blue-eyed elder had a worried expression. This person was the elder that had determined the value of the items that Zhao Feng sold at the auction. Because of his ignorance and incorrect estimation of Zhao Feng''s strength, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had offended Zhao Feng. If they had been able to attract Zhao Feng over before the competition for the Exchange Spiritual Hall started, then there wouldn''t have been any problem at all, but now¡­


    "Hahaha, there''s no need to worry!" A wicked elder wearing ice-blue robes laughed.


    The upper echelon members were instantly surprised. Did the patriarch have some special methods?


    "Come out!" The blue-robed elder laughed wickedly, and a figure radiating ice instantly appeared next to him.


    This male wasn''t very cold himself, but he radiated a chilling Sword Intent. He suddenly focused his eyes, and an icy sword-light appeared. The chilling aura from it shook these experts'' hearts. It was as if their souls had been stabbed.


    "What Sword Intent!"


    "Who is this person? Just one move makes me look up to him!"


    Many upper echelon members of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, including Demigod Elders, were shocked.


    "Gu Lan, that''s enough. Your real opponents will soon appear!" The blue-robed elder laughed with excitement.


    This Exchange Spiritual Hall will always belong to the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.


    ¡­


    Within the Misty Spatial World, four unique Sacred Powers of Wind Lightning formed a whirlpool in the air above Zhao Feng. Water of Wind Lightning, Wood of Wind Lightning, Fire of Wind Lightning, and Earth of Wind Lightning spun endlessly. The Earth of Wind Lightning was the densest, and it was like a wave that kept on tossing and turning.


    At the same time, these four Sacred Powers of Wind Lightning spun in Zhao Feng''s Sacred Power Whirlpool as a profound Intent merged with them.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    A golden ray of light shot out from the center of the Sacred Power Whirlpool and radiated a piercing aura. The Earth of Wind Lightning started to extend and transform into a golden Sacred Power of Wind Lightning.


    "Metal of Wind Lightning ¨C an offensive force that is even stronger than the Fire of Wind Lightning!" Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression.


    The instant the Metal of Wind Lightning appeared, Zhao Feng was unable to suppress his cultivation any longer, and he instantly broke through to the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm, also known as a Sacred King in the continent zone.


    Shua! Shua!


    Many resources and items that contained the element of Metal appeared before Zhao Feng. He had been preparing these resources for the Metal of Wind Lightning for a long time now. The ones that he just took out were only the lowest-graded ones.


    Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated the five surges of Wind Lightning Sacred Power to absorb the element of Metal and increase the Metal of Wind Lightning Sacred Power.


    Hu~~


    The amount of Zhao Feng''s Metal of Wind Lightning Sacred Power increased at an extremely fast speed, and it was soon on par with the other four Sacred Powers of Wind Lightning.


    The reason why the Metal of Wind Lightning could be formed so quickly was because Zhao Feng had studied the vine fruit that contained the element of Metal to increase his understanding of Metal, so this Metal of Wind Lightning wasn''t strange to him. Zhao Feng would soon easily master the Metal of Wind Lightning.


    "Wind Lightning Raging Finger!"


    Zhao Feng circulated the Metal of Wind Lightning Sacred Power and pointed out. A piercing metal aura flashed through the air and shot forward.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon that was cultivating on the side didn''t know that Zhao Feng was using it as a test subject, and it didn''t have any time to evade at all.


    Whoosh!


    A thin golden light pierced through its arm.


    This brat''s already so strong after just breaking through to the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm?


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had just recovered to the level of a Demigod, and its Destruction Dragon Body was stronger and more profound as well. It had surpassed the level of a Rank One Divine Body, but it was still pierced through by Zhao Feng''s finger. Luckily for The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Feng''s finger didn''t contain the power of God Tribulation Lightning, so its injury would soon recover.


    "Little Black, I allow you to recover to the cultivation of a Rank One True God!" Zhao Feng spoke at this moment.


    "Thank you, Master!" The grudge that formed just now instantly disappeared, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t even get mad at Zhao Feng calling him Little Black.


    "Hm? It succeeded?" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed slightly, and a golden ripple of light flashed through his left eye.


    Whoosh!


    A spatial whirlpool appeared in the air, and four Misty Spatial Worlds appeared. Since he had been focusing on cultivating so much, Zhao Feng only just realized that he had finished duplicating the Misty Spatial World.


    Zhao Feng immediately put all the items and living things from the interspatial dimension back into the Misty Spatial World.


    "These two are yours!" Zhao Feng threw one to Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan, then continued to cultivate after giving some orders.


    "I need to merge the power of God Tribulation Lightning into the Metal of Wind Lightning. Only then will the Metal of Wind Lightning become indestructible!" This was a plan that Zhao Feng had prepared long ago.


    "Wait! What if I¡­ merge the Fire of Wind Lightning and Metal of Wind Lightning together?" A thought suddenly appeared in Zhao Feng''s heart.


    Zhao Feng''s Fire of Wind Lightning already contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning. If he could merge the Fire of Wind Lightning and the Metal of Wind Lightning together, what kind of terrifying power would that create? Zhao Feng''s heart jumped.


    However, right at this moment, a faint golden light flashed in his message token.


    "It''s about to start?" Zhao Feng, who had been in seclusion for a year now, almost forgot about the competition for the Exchange Spiritual Hall. After all, a battle against Demigods meant nothing to him a year ago, let alone now. Zhao Feng''s cultivation just increased, and he had cultivated the Metal of Wind Lightning. The fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall would be like child''s play to him.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng immediately left the Misty Spatial World.


    "Little Friend Zhao, it''s time to leave!"


    The upper echelon members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race were quietly waiting for Zhao Feng. All the regular members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race below seemed to be looking up at a deity; they were filled with excitement and respect.

 1160 Gu Lan

    Chapter 1160 - Gu Lan


    Sky Feather Island had five Exchange Spiritual Halls. The richest Exchange Spiritual Hall was owned by the Sky Feather Island Lord, so no one dared to fight for it. The remaining four Exchange Spiritual Halls were fought over by the remaining forces of Sky Feather Island Zone.


    The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was ranked fourth among the forces of Sky Feather Island in terms of strength, and it was the weakest of the four forces that owned an Exchange Spiritual Hall. It was because of this reason that the competition for this particular Exchange Spiritual Hall was going to be extremely tough. A total of six four-star powers were going to participate, but the situation this time was different from before; instead of the Scarlet Sun Race, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race ¨C the weakest force in the area ¨C was participating.


    When the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race arrived at the Exchange Spiritual Hall, they were mocked by the other experts and looked down upon.


    "I didn''t think that the weakest four-star power of Sky Feather Island would participate in the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall. Could the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race have trained a powerful Demigod genius?"


    "Stop joking. I''m sure that the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race will send their First Elder out to fight!"


    There were always some people in the crowd that weren''t strong but liked to mock others. However, it was true that the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race indeed didn''t have any Demigod geniuses. Apart from the four Demigod Elders, they didn''t have any other Demigods.


    The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had five more Demigod geniuses apart from their six Demigod Elders. The strongest Demigod genius was even stronger than the six Elders; this genius was obviously suppressing his cultivation and trying to become a higher-ranked God.


    The other powerful races also raised geniuses like this. Once they managed to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, they might very likely become a Rank Two True God directly and lead the race. For example, the Scarlet Sun Race, which was ranked in the top ten, had three Demigod geniuses who were stronger than the Demigods of the older generation.


    Therefore, most of those that appeared in the competition for the Exchange Spiritual Hall were younger Demigods. Even if they weren''t, they wouldn''t be far off. It would be a big joke if the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race sent out the First Elder, who was more than a hundred thousand years old.


    "I think that the Shark Tooth Race will win this time. Seng Yu has become even stronger!"


    "Did you not hear the rumors? The patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race found a Demigod expert and brought him back to the race. Now this genius is participating in the competition!"


    The strongest forces participating were the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race and the Shark Tooth Race. After that were the Emerald Green Feather Race and the Scarlet Sun Race, but the Scarlet Sun Race had given up this time. The other races were not in the top ten, so no one thought well of them.


    A large arena had been built in the Exchange Spiritual Hall for the competition. Stone stands surrounded the arena. Only the stronger forces or True God experts could sit on the stone stands; the other spectators could only hover in the air and watch.


    There were only a few people on the eastern stands, but they were the center of attention. Amongst them was a human with white skin and a handsome face. He had an arrogant and noble attitude. This was Xi Feng, the disciple of the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    "Martial Uncle, who do you think will win this time?" Xi Feng looked at a middle-aged male next to him with respect.


    "I heard that the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race recruited a strong Demigod genius. They will probably win again this time!" This male had a dark and nasty expression, as if he was a ghost, and he spoke in a nonchalant tone.


    The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race members were full of smiles. Only one of the youths had a cold expression, and his eyes were closed.


    On the other side, those from the Shark Tooth Race felt extremely frustrated and angry, but they didn''t dare to do anything because the person in front of them was True God Guili, a Rank Two True God of Sky Feather Island. He and Xi Feng were the judges for the Exchange Spiritual Hall competition, and a judge saying that the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race would win in front of everyone else meant that True God Guili was standing on the Blue-Eyed Iced Wolf Race''s side.


    However, the Shark Tooth Race believed that True God Guili would stand on their side as long as they could defeat the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race and took out enough wealth.


    "Seng Yu, preserve your strength and watch out for Gu Lan from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race!" the patriarch of the Shark Tooth Race said to a large male radiating a fierce aura.


    "Ding Hu, help Seng Yu!" the patriarch of the Shark Tooth Race said to another genius.


    There were two stages to the competition of the Exchange Spiritual Hall. The experts of every force that was participating would enter the arena, and only the four that remained behind could progress to the second stage. The victor would then be decided in the second stage.


    Each force could send out two people in the first stage, but in reality, the mission of the second person was the protect the strongest expert of the race so that they could preserve their strength for the second round.


    "Since everyone is here, we can start now!" True God Guili said in a raspy voice from the eastern stone stands.


    "It''s about to start!"


    Discussion broke out amongst the spectators.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    More than ten powerful auras instantly leapt onto the arena.


    Since there were six participating forces this time, there should''ve been twelve people on the arena, but instead, there was only eleven. Everyone couldn''t help but look at Zhao Feng, who represented the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    "They dare to participate with just one person? Aren''t they just going to humiliate themselves?"


    "Doesn''t the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race have several Demigod elders? Two people would at least increase their chances a little bit! Hahaha!"


    "This person''s cultivation is so low. Is the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race sending him to his death?"


    Some of those nearby roared with laughter when they saw Zhao Feng. Many geniuses on the arena also revealed disdainful looks.


    "I don''t know where you get the courage to participate in this competition with just the cultivation of a measly peak-stage Mystic Light Realm!" The strongest expert of the Emerald Green Feather Race had a smile of mockery.


    Gu Lan from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Feng.


    "It''s him?" Xi Feng''s eyebrows furrowed.


    "Feng''er, what is it?" True God Guili asked.


    Xi Feng was a genius that was soon going to the Golden Jade Race with the island lord, and he had been cultivating with even more effort after hearing about the Wild Ancient secret dimension. His strength was increasing very rapidly. No Demigod in Sky Feather Island was Xi Feng''s match.


    "Nothing!" Xi Feng shook his head and ignored Zhao Feng. Although he had a deep impression of Zhao Feng and even sent Chen Yuhai to kill Zhao Feng a while ago, he was about to go to the Golden Jade Race, which was a four-and-a-half-star power. He might even be able to enter the Wild Ancient secret dimension. At that point, he would personally find Zhao Feng and make the latter kneel in front of him as revenge for Zhao Feng ignoring him in the auction hall.


    Zhao Feng had a calm expression on the arena, as if nothing could enter his eyes. After breaking through to the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm, the strength and quantity of his Sacred Power had increased, and he also controlled the Metal of Wind Lightning now. The Demigods in front of him weren''t able to ignite his will to fight at all.


    "The first stage of the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall starts now!" True God Guili said from the stone stand, and the aura of powerful bloodlines rose into the air one after another.


    Let''s end it right away! Zhao Feng revealed a cold and decisive look. As long as he defeated everyone, there would be no need for the second stage. He would be the victor as long as he was the only one that passed the first stage.


    "Hehe, brat, let me send you down!" The genius from the Emerald Green Feather Race that just mocked Zhao Feng charged at him with a cocky expression.


    Zhao Feng revealed a smile when he looked at this person.


    Weng~~


    A surge of extremely bright Metal of Wind Lightning formed on Zhao Feng''s hand.


    However, right at this moment, the skinny youth from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race spoke in a cold voice; "If I defeat all of you, I can become the victor straight away!"


    Gu Lan had the same thought as Zhao Feng, which made Zhao Feng pay some slight attention. However, the other Demigods on the arena all looked at Gu Lan with surprise and radiated an ill intent toward him.


    "Gu Lan, what are you saying?" The other Demigod genius from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race next to Gu Lan said in shock. It was obvious that this wasn''t planned beforehand.


    Everyone outside the arena started to talk.


    "This Gu Lan¡­" The patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had a helpless expression. Gu Lan was a genius of the Sword Dao that he found by accident, and he was taken to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods from a very nearby dimension.


    Entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods before breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm proved his talent. The only problem was that Gu Lan was too direct and only had eyes for battle!


    "This person''s so cocky!"


    "He''s the expert that the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race recruited, a genius of the Sword Dao!"


    Many eyes landed on Gu Lan.


    "Seng Yu, team up and defeat this person!" The patriarch of the Shark Tooth Race revealed a deadly smile, and all the other Demigod experts started to team up.


    Apart from Zhao Feng, all of the other Demigod geniuses stood opposite the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.


    "This person isn''t bad!" Xi Feng said with a hint of praise, as if he was a senior evaluating a junior.


    From his point of view, he could defeat the opposing eight Demigods easily if he had the help of another Demigod as well because his strength had reached the level of a Rank One True God. He could be considered a Quasi-God.


    "Kill!" Every genius apart from Zhao Feng charged toward the two Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race members.


    Gu Lan''s eyes suddenly changed as limitless bone-chilling Sword Intent shot out.


    Shua!


    A sword of ice appeared in his hand and covered the surroundings in a layer of frost.


    "Sword of Ice Extermination!"


    A powerful Sword Intent radiated from Gu Lan and completely merged into the sword of ice in his hand as he slashed out. An arc of ice instantly slashed toward the Demigod prodigies.


    All of the geniuses felt a bone-chilling pain in their body and soul, and they had thoughts of retreating when they looked at the dominant and lone Gu Lan.


    "Reversal Shark Strike!" Seng Yu activated his bloodline and charged out. He held a big water blade and slashed out a fearsome shark with it.


    "Ice Force Slash!" Gu Lan''s expression remained the same as he struck out with his sword of ice. A heart-shaking storm of ice instantly pierced through the giant shark and froze it.


    Seng Yu''s Sacred Power almost completely froze as the remaining Sword Intent of ice covered him. He revealed a look of fear and lost all will to fight.


    "So strong!" The other genius of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was overjoyed when he saw Gu Lan was so strong.


    "Sword of Ice Extermination!" Gu Lan waved his sword of ice around and unleashed waves of icy Sword Intent.


    The entire arena was covered in a bone-chilling Sword Intent, defeating all the experts that had attacked him, including Seng Yu from the Shark Tooth Race and those from the Emerald Green Feather Race.


    However, there was always an exception. Zhao Feng didn''t move from the beginning and watched all of this silently. The majority thought that Zhao Feng was scared, and he was soon forgotten.


    This means that I only need to defeat him! Zhao Feng''s expression didn''t change.

 1161 Powerful Blow

    Chapter 1161 - Powerful Blow


    Several dozen thousand experts in the Exchange Spiritual Hall looked at the battle on the arena quietly. The fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall this time was different from the past; two geniuses of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had directly defeated all the other experts. The one that caught the most attention was obviously Gu Lan, the lone and proud expert of the Sword Dao!


    "What a powerful Sword Intent!"


    "Is this the strength of an expert that cultivates the Dao of the Sword? He''s already become one with the sword!"


    Countless experts watching were amazed by Gu Lan''s performance. There were many experts that cultivated the Dao of the Sword as well, and they identified Gu Lan''s current level.


    "That person¡­? How is this possible!?" The patriarch of the Shark Tooth Race looked at the human in disbelief. They obviously knew a bit about Gu Lan and that he was brought from another dimension to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but how could he be so strong? The geniuses that the Shark Tooth Race trained were nothing in front of him.


    "He''s too strong!" Those from the Emerald Green Feather Race admitted defeat.


    It looked like the owner of this Exchange Spiritual Hall would be the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race again. As time progressed, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf would only become stronger, and they would throw off the other four-star forces.


    "This brat isn''t bad!" True God Guili revealed a faint smile when he looked at Gu Lan.


    It was obvious that everyone had forgotten about Zhao Feng. Gu Lan was just too strong and too eye-catching. Of all the geniuses present, only Xi Feng could suppress him.


    Zhao Feng only had the cultivation of a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm, and he was only still on the arena because he didn''t attack Gu Lan, or maybe Gu Lan was just too disdainful to attack Zhao Feng. The geniuses from all the other races couldn''t even block one sword of his, so this weak human from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race wasn''t worthy of Gu Lan even raising his sword.


    "Zhao Feng!" The expressions of those from the Blazing Sheep Golden Sheep Race tightened. They didn''t expect the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race to have such a strong expert of the Dao of the Sword. They didn''t know whether Zhao Feng could handle it or not.


    "Looks like the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race wins again!" True God Guili on the eastern stone stand faintly nodded his head.


    "Congratulations, patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race!"


    "I hope that the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race will be eternally prosperous!"


    Although the other races didn''t like the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, they still had smiles on their faces.


    "The competition hasn''t ended yet, right?" a voice suddenly sounded on the arena.


    Zhao Feng was extremely unhappy. He hadn''t lost yet and was still standing on the arena, but they had declared the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race the victor already.


    Everyone started to laugh when they heard what Zhao Feng said.


    "How can the human from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race be so dumb? Does he think he''s Gu Lan''s match?"


    "He probably wants to regain some face. After all, he hasn''t done anything since this fight started!"


    The nearby experts and spectators mocked.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re not Gu Lan''s match. Furthermore, still there''s two geniuses of my race on the arena!" The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race patriarch laughed. Zhao Feng had killed clansmen from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, and now the patriarch was going to make Zhao Feng lose without even fighting, making a fool of him in front of several dozen thousand people.


    However, Gu Lan''s eyes had been locked onto Zhao Feng ever since the start, and the sword in his hand still radiated a cold light.


    "Hahaha, it wouldn''t matter even if every genius of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was here!" Zhao Feng looked at the patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race with cold eyes and laughed.


    Back when he came to sell his items in the auction hall, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had tried to kill him. Zhao Feng obviously hadn''t forgotten about this. They were the auctioneers, but they had done something so shameless. If Zhao Feng wasn''t strong enough, he would have been killed by Lu Wei''s arrow already.


    Besides, it was time for Zhao Feng to spread his name. Apart from the Sky Feather Island Lord, there was nobody he needed to be scared of.


    "What did you say?" The patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race immediately stood up and radiated a terrifyingly cold aura. Frost instantly appeared on the people not far from him, and they immediately retreated backward.


    "This person is so cocky. All the geniuses of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race aren''t his match?"


    "I think he''s become an idiot after being scared by Gu Lan''s strength and is just talking nonsense!"


    Some people mocked.


    No matter what was said, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was one of the five strongest races in Sky Feather Island, so Zhao Feng''s words were rather cocky.


    "Patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, there are still three people on the arena. Do you think you''ve won already? Are you ignoring the existence of the judge?" Zhao Feng wasn''t scared by the enraged Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race patriarch at all, and he even used True God Guili, who stood on the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race''s side.


    Although True God Guili was biased toward the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, the rules were still there, and they were set by the Sky Feather Island Lord. No matter what, he couldn''t go against the rules or else he would be slapping the Sky Feather Island Lord''s face.


    "Sit down!" True God Guili''s expression turned cold.


    The patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was enraged, but he could only sit down and glare at Zhao Feng with cold eyes.


    "Let the fight continue!" True God Guili said. He didn''t say, "Begin the second stage," he just said, "Continue." His meaning was very clear ¨C he was telling the geniuses of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race to quickly finish off Zhao Feng. There was no need to enter the second stage.


    After True God Guili said this, the entire Exchange Spiritual Hall became quiet. Everyone was waiting for Zhao Feng''s expression when he was defeated. Even some people from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race were mocked by the other races nearby.


    "Go down!" Gu Lan told the other genius from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.


    "Yes!" This genius jumped off. He only participated in order to help Gu Lan obtain victory. Gu Lan could defeat Zhao Feng in one sword, so there was no point in him staying behind.


    However, what Gu Lan said next surprised him and everyone else.


    "You are very strong, so I left you till last. I shall be your opponent!" Gu Lan, who was usually cold and didn''t speak much, spoke a lot this time.


    This wasn''t the key point though. The key point was what he meant. Gu Lan, who had defeated all the other Demigod geniuses, said that Zhao Feng was very strong. At the very least, the word "strong" meant that Zhao Feng was stronger than the geniuses that were defeated.


    "I need to thank you for sending away those useless people!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly.


    Gu Lan reminded him of Yu Tianhao, but Gu Lan liked to fight even more. Only the sword and fighting were in his eyes; he didn''t think about anything else.


    "What? Useless people?" The geniuses around the arena that had been defeated by Gu Lan instantly became red in the face. There was nothing they could say after being defeated by Gu Lan, but now, even a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm was mocking them?


    "Take this sword!" Gu Lan waved the sword of ice in his hand and radiated a powerful cold battle-intent from his eyes.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Surges of invisible Sword Intent merged with the element of Ice around Gu Lan and formed a sword of ice that gave off an aura of destruction.


    "So strong! Is this his true strength?"


    "So, he was preserving his strength before!"


    The geniuses that were crushed by Gu Lan were stunned and didn''t know how they should feel. Facing such a strong Gu Lan, Zhao Feng would certainly be defeated, and his outcome would be even worse than theirs.


    "Ice Heart Sword!" Gu Lan instantly controlled the sword of ice and merged the ice from Heaven and Earth into his sword.


    Whoosh!


    Gu Lan was like a sword himself as he stabbed toward Zhao Feng. A cold Sword Intent that penetrated forward unstoppably shot toward Zhao Feng. Those standing behind Zhao Feng instantly felt their souls start to become injured, and they immediately fled.


    "Good!" Praise appeared from Zhao Feng''s eyes. In his eyes, Demigods were too weak, so he didn''t take this competition to heart. He didn''t expect to meet such a strong Demigod that cultivated the Dao of the Sword here.


    Weng~~~


    Dark yellow symbols of lightning flashed around Zhao Feng''s body, and the Metal of Wind Lightning appeared around his hand.


    "Wind Lightning Raging Finger!" Zhao Feng circulated his Metal of Wind Lightning and pointed out.


    The power of the Wind Lightning Raging Finger was several times stronger when used with the Metal of Wind Lightning. Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body contained some power of God Tribulation Lightning that was also merged into the attack.


    Whoosh!


    The invisible Intent of the ice sword in the air was instantly sliced apart by Zhao Feng''s golden finger.


    "Defeat!" Zhao Feng released the ancient bloodline Divine Power in his index finger.


    Boom!


    An explosion of golden light erupted.


    Plop!


    Gu Lan was thrown off the arena, and his sword of ice was cut in two.


    Gu Lan was defeated in just one move!


    The spectators were dead-silent as they looked at this scene with bulging eyes. None of them would have ever thought that the Zhao Feng they ignored would manage to defeat Gu Lan in just one move! They didn''t even see how Zhao Feng defeated Gu Lan because his move was too incredible.


    "This isn''t possible!"


    "How can Gu Lan lose to someone like him?"


    The geniuses that were crushed by Gu Lan were stunned, and they looked at Zhao Feng in a daze. The genius from the Emerald Green Feather Race that was about to attack Zhao Feng at the very beginning felt his heart twitch. If it wasn''t for Gu Lan attracting their attention, he would have been instantly defeated by Zhao Feng.


    Below the arena, Gu Lan slowly got up and looked coldly at Zhao Feng. He had never been defeated so utterly. Furthermore, he had lost to someone that had lower cultivation than him. However, Gu Lan had to admit Zhao Feng was very strong.


    The patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race stood up after the shock passed.


    "This isn''t possible! What kind of devious method did you use!?" The patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had a cold expression.


    Gu Lan''s strength was greater than normal Rank One True Gods, but Zhao Feng managed to defeat him in just one move. Could Zhao Feng''s strength have reached the level of a Rank Two True God? This was impossible. If this was true, he couldn''t allow Zhao Feng to live.


    Zhao Feng looked coldly at the patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race. I must have used some sort of devious method to defeat Gu Lan?


    Gu Lan also revealed a disdainful expression. He only just arrived in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and didn''t know anything, so he agreed to join this competition. He had no feelings for the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.


    True God Guili on the eastern stage also paused for a moment. He didn''t expect this normal golden-haired youth to be the strongest.


    The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was extremely excited. They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to win so quickly and so simply. In just the short span of one year, Zhao Feng''s strength had increased dramatically.


    "This person¡­!" Hatred flashed through Xi Feng''s eyes. The more excellent and stronger Zhao Feng was, the worse Xi Feng felt.


    Right at this moment, the patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race sent a message to True God Guili; "True God Guili, if you can help me obtain this Exchange Spiritual Hall, I''m willing to give you 60% of the profit generated over the next one thousand years."


    True God Guili revealed a cold smile and sent Xi Feng a message.


    "Okay, Martial Uncle, don''t forget that!" Xi Feng revealed an excited look before fiercely glaring at Zhao Feng.

 1162 Xi Feng Defeated

    Chapter 1162 - Xi Feng Defeated


    Several dozen thousand spectators in the Exchange Spiritual Hall were still in shock. Even someone as strong as Gu Lan was defeated by Zhao Feng in just one move. None of them expected the winner to be the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, which was the weakest force in Sky Feather Island.


    "He''s even stronger than before!" True God Giant Flame from the Scarlet Sun Race said. In the fight against Zhao Feng last time, he was at least able to make sure that he wasn''t utterly defeated by Zhao Feng, but now, he didn''t even dare to fight against Zhao Feng.


    "Hmph, what''s the point of the measly Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race being in charge of the Exchange Spiritual Hall for a thousand years?" The Patriarch of the Shark Tooth Race harrumphed coldly.


    Although the Shark Tooth Race''s performance in the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall wasn''t very good, at least the victory didn''t belong to the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race. Even if the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was able to control the Exchange Spiritual Hall for a thousand years, they wouldn''t achieve much because they were too weak.


    Just when everyone thought that the witness from Sky Feather Island would announce the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race as the victor, Xi Feng stood up.


    "Wait, I just remembered that you are Zhao Feng, the evil person that killed my very good friend Chen Yuhai!" Xi Feng said with regret as deadliness flashed through his eyes.


    "Your very good friend?" Zhao Feng revealed a surprised expression.


    Although his impression of Xi Feng wasn''t very good, he didn''t think that Xi Feng would be able to say something like this. Back at the Auction Hall, Chen Yuhai immediately apologized after learning Xi Feng''s identity. Was that something that very good friends would do?


    It was obvious that Xi Feng was just finding an excuse to take action against Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng indeed killed Chen Yuhai in front of the Exchange Spiritual Hall. Everyone had clearly seen it, so he wouldn''t be able to deny it.


    "Am I not?" Xi Feng looked at True God Sun Flame on the side.


    "That''s right, Young Sir Xi Feng and Chen Yuhai are best friends!" True God Sun Flame hesitated for a moment before saying through gritted teeth.


    The Scarlet Sun Race didn''t dare to go against Sky Feather Island. Furthermore, once Xi Feng successfully broke through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, the forces of the Sky Feather Island Lord would become even stronger.


    Besides, the relationship between the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race and the Scarlet Sun Race wasn''t very good, so there was no need for the Scarlet Sun Race to offend Xi Feng anyway.


    All the experts of the other forces also started to understand that Sky Feather Island was just finding an excuse to take action against Zhao Feng, but they didn''t dare to say anything. The strongest force present was the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, and they would obviously love if Xi Feng could finish off Zhao Feng. The Exchange Spiritual Hall would be theirs.


    True God Sky Fire and company were dazed, and they stood there with bitterness. Although they had won, the judges of the competition wanted to take action against Zhao Feng? In this world, strength was everything. If one wasn''t strong enough, there was no such thing as fairness.


    "So, what do you want?" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as he said. Chen Yuhai had definitely come to kill Zhao Feng under Xi Feng''s orders, so Zhao Feng already disliked Xi Feng.


    "Repay a life with a life. Since you dare to kill my very good friend, I will personally send you to accompany him. However, seeing that you are very talented and won the competition this time, as long as you cripple your cultivation, I will forgive you!" Xi Feng''s handsome face revealed a smug, cold smile.


    Cripple your own cultivation? If one didn''t have strength in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, it was better to just die.


    Everyone sighed in their hearts. They didn''t expect Xi Feng to be so ruthless as to give Zhao Feng a choice between "dying" and "better off dying."


    The members of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had arrogant and smug expressions as they looked at Zhao Feng on the arena.


    "Hahaha!" Zhao Feng suddenly started to laugh as he radiated a terrifying aura.


    Xi Feng''s expression became cold. This would be the only time that Zhao Feng could laugh.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll have to choose the second path!" Zhao Feng said.


    "Ai, so unfortunate!"


    "Who told him to offend Xi Feng?"


    The experts and forces present felt slightly regretful. They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to cripple his own cultivation in order to live.


    "Good!" Xi Feng revealed a satisfied smile as he looked down from above. He was the strongest genius of Sky Feather Island. Everyone in the younger generation had to bow to him.


    Back at the Exchange Spiritual Hall, Zhao Feng had rejected his meeting, and Xi Feng remembered this very clearly. Now, Zhao Feng needed to cripple his own cultivation due to his orders. This made Xi Feng feel extremely proud.


    The Patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race and True God Guili exchanged smiles, but their smiles froze the next moment.


    "Then I''ll be troubling Young Sir Xi Feng to cripple my cultivation for me!" Zhao Feng''s eyes radiated cold intent, and his golden hair blew in the wind.


    Silence! Everything became silent once more!


    Zhao Feng wasn''t actually giving in at all. Instead of choosing to cripple his own cultivation, he was challenging Xi Feng, the strongest genius in Sky Feather Island and the disciple of Sky Feather Island Lord. This was an extremely courageous, bold, and cocky action.


    Those from the Scarlet Sun Race saw Zhao Feng standing up straight and couldn''t help but reveal guilty expressions.


    "You brought this upon yourself!" Xi Feng paused for a moment before revealing a deadly and fierce glint.


    Zhao Feng was just toying with him. Xi Feng instantly leapt into the air and glared at Zhao Feng as he radiated an invisible force.


    When Xi Feng landed on the arena, the winds of Heaven and Earth blew as countless white blades of air surrounded him. Even normal True God experts that were close to him felt a dangerous aura from Xi Feng and couldn''t help but retreat.


    Everyone''s gaze focused on Xi Feng. They didn''t expect that they would be able to see Xi Feng fight personally. His opponent ¨C Zhao Feng ¨C was very unlucky.


    "I''ll let you witness the strength of the number one genius of Sky Feather Island!" Xi Feng''s eyes were cold as he stared at Zhao Feng. The nearby countless blades of wind were easily controlled by him.


    "You talk a lot of nonsense!" Zhao Feng murmured as his figure flashed. He circulated the Metal of Wind Lightning as he charged toward Xi Feng in a bright flash of golden light.


    Zhao Feng also knew the element of Wind, so the force around Xi Feng couldn''t stop Zhao Feng.


    "Wind Lightning Raging Finger!" Zhao Feng pointed out, and the power of Wind Lightning struck out.


    Whoosh!


    Golden lightning flashed as the barrier of wind around Xi Feng was instantly pierced through. The bolt of golden lightning instantly shot toward Xi Feng''s chest.


    "What a shameless bastard! How dare you attack me by surprise!" Xi Feng cursed with a noble expression.


    "Wind Essence Palm!" Xi Feng waved his palm, and the power of Wind nearby gathered into one white palm that thrust forward.


    Whoosh! Shu~~~~


    The two powers of Wind interacted with one another. Wind howled as blades of wind flew forward.


    "So strong! Young Sir Xi Feng''s strength isn''t any weaker than the True God experts of the older generation!"


    "Quickly retreat! Young Sir Xi Feng''s Wind Essence Heavenly Technique is too strong!"


    Apart from the strong races on the stone stands, the surrounding spectators quickly retreated.


    "I admit that you''re very strong, but today, you will die!" Xi Feng could feel that Zhao Feng was very strong the instant they exchanged blows, but he was Xi Feng! He couldn''t lose. He was going to let Zhao Feng see his true strength.


    Hu!


    A thin tornado instantly appeared around Xi Feng. The power of Wind became stronger and stronger until it finally formed a giant tornado that lifted him up.


    At this moment, Xi Feng floated in the middle of the tornado. He seemed to become one with it as his hair blew wildly, and he had a gruesome expression.


    "Hmph, I didn''t expect Xi Feng to use his bloodline power right away. This brat''s done for!" True God Guili smiled faintly as he looked at Xi Feng.


    Xi Feng had the bloodline of the Sky Hell Wind Race, which was ranked 3562nd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. They had terrifying power, and no one''s bloodline in Sky Feather Island was stronger than Xi Feng''s.


    "As expected of Young Sir Xi Feng, the disciple of Sky Feather Island Lord. His bloodline is so noble!" Those from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race said respectfully.


    In a place like Blue Ocean Bay, the bloodlines of most people were in the seven thousands or even lower, but Xi Feng had a bloodline that was ranked in the three thousands. There was no need to explain how noble and unique his bloodline was.


    The bloodlines of the nearby people started to tremble as they looked at the god-like Xi Feng with admiration.


    "Sky Hell Wind Race bloodline!" Zhao Feng''s gaze focused on Xi Feng. Xi Feng''s bloodline was indeed the strongest bloodline Zhao Feng had encountered after coming to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye started to jump, stopping the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline within his body from shaking. At the same time, a battle-intent that was unwilling to bow down radiated from the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    "Powerful bloodlines seem to be able to pressure and improve my God''s Spiritual Eye!" Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression.


    Whoosh! Weng~~


    A pair of scarlet wings of lightning condensed behind Zhao Feng''s back as he turned into a ball of scarlet fire and lightning that shot toward Xi Feng.


    "You''re courting death!" Xi Feng laughed coldly.


    Now that he had activated his bloodline power, it was impossible for Zhao Feng to be his match. The purity of the bloodlines in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were different from normal. High-tier bloodlines were able to suppress low-tier bloodlines very easily.


    "Anger of the Windstorm!" Xi Feng controlled the power of Wind in Heaven and Earth as he unleashed an attack against Zhao Feng.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng activated the Sacred Lightning Body and released the power of God Tribulation Lightning, which destroyed all the power of Wind that tried to approach. At the same time, Zhao Feng thrust out a golden palm.


    This Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm was created by the Metal of Wind Lightning, and it was extremely strong when used with the Sacred Lightning Body. It was like a golden mountain that could destroy everything.


    Boom!


    Xi Feng revealed a stunned expression as he was hit by the wind pressure of Zhao Feng''s palm, but since he had the bloodline of the Sky Hell Wind Race, his resistance toward the element of Wind was slightly stronger.


    However, Zhao Feng suddenly waved his fists and punched out.


    Boom! Peng!


    Xi Feng instantly started to defend, but he was still damaged by Zhao Feng.


    "How is this possible?" Xi Feng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood in disbelief.


    How could Zhao Feng become stronger in just an instant? He had already activated his bloodline power but wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match?


    It wasn''t just Xi Feng that was surprised. Everyone else didn''t believe it, and explosions rang across their minds. Young Sir Xi Feng had already activated the bloodline of the Sky Hell Wind Race but was still at a disadvantage? How was this possible?


    "Sky Feather!" Xi Feng roared as a fan made of feathers appeared in his hand. The pure white feathers on it radiated an invisible Divine Power of Wind.


    This Sky Feather was a hidden card that the Sky Feather Island Lord had given him. It was a low-tier divine weapon.


    Being the strongest genius of Sky Feather Island, he was not allowed to lose. He had to defeat and humiliate Zhao Feng with overwhelming power.


    "You can die peacefully after knowing that you forced me to use my divine weapon!"


    Xi Feng''s expression was unusually terrifying. Only strong True Gods in Sky Feather Island had divine weapons. Normal Demigods were unable to obtain a divine weapon, and even if they did, it was hard for them to control it. However, Xi Feng was very talented and was able to use the power of this divine weapon after practicing with it for a long time.


    But in the next instant, he couldn''t help but look at Zhao Feng''s left eye. He seemed to see a purple-and-gold mist, and he was unable to find the exit to this world.


    Whoosh! Weng~~


    A bolt of scarlet lightning flashed across his eyes.


    Boom!


    Xi Feng felt a searing pain from his stomach, and he woke up from the illusion.


    Peng! Boom!


    Xi Feng went flying into the large stone stand behind him while Zhao Feng floated in the air and held the Sky Feather that Xi Feng just took out. It would have been troublesome if Xi Feng had used the divine weapon after activating his bloodline power, so Zhao Feng used the Forbidden Illusion Lost World against Xi Feng without any hesitation. Zhao Feng was able to easily control Xi Feng with his illusions.


    "Xi Feng lost!"


    "Who is this person?"


    The spectators cried out.


    Xi Feng wasn''t Zhao Feng''s match even after activating his bloodline power, so he took out a divine weapon but was humiliated once more. Now, even his divine weapon had been taken away. Xi Feng utterly lost to Zhao Feng.


    "So strong!"


    On the side, Gu Lan watched the fight from beginning to end. It wasn''t a coincidence that Zhao Feng could defeat him in one move. He definitely had real strength.


    "Isn''t Young Sir Xi Feng going to cripple my cultivation? Why are you going easy on me?" Zhao Feng laughed coldly as he slowly walked toward Xi Feng.


    "I''m¡­ going to kill you!" Xi Feng roared in anger as his eyes went blood-red, but fear appeared in his heart when he saw Zhao Feng slowly walking over.

 1163 Lightning-Fire Obliteration

    Chapter 1163 - Lightning-Fire Obliteration


    At this moment, Xi Feng lay in a hole with an enraged expression, but he showed signs of fear in his eyes when Zhao Feng approached.


    "How dare you injure someone from Sky Feather Island?" True God Guili suddenly stood up from the eastern stands and radiated a terrifying pressure. The force of a Rank Two True God caused the hearts of everyone present to shake, and they took a few steps back.


    "Hehehe, this brat will definitely die now!" Those from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race laughed coldly in their hearts when they saw True God Guili become angry.


    Although Zhao Feng had defeated Xi Feng, which was extremely shocking, True God Guili had to take action now that Xi Feng was injured. This meant that Zhao Feng would die without a doubt.


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed when he sensed this horrifying force. He had only participated in the competition for the Exchange Spiritual Hall in order to take control over it. He really wanted to kill Xi Feng, but he didn''t do so because True God Guili was present and because Xi Feng was the Sky Feather Island Lord''s disciple. However, killing intent appeared in Zhao Feng''s heart after seeing that True God Guili was going to attack him anyway.


    "Sky Penetrating Finger!" Zhao Feng''s index finger radiated the aura of an ancient bloodline, which shot out alongside a piercing Metal of Wind Lightning.


    The Sky Penetrating Finger was extremely fast, and its power was released to its maximum potential when used with the Metal of Wind Lightning.


    "How dare you!?" True God Guili roared as he charged toward Zhao Feng.


    True God Guili didn''t think that Zhao Feng would still dare to attack Xi Feng after he spoke. If Zhao Feng truly injured Xi Feng, then True God Guili would also lose face. However, Zhao Feng''s finger technique was extremely fierce. Even a Rank Two True God couldn''t stop it.


    "Zhao Feng wants to kill Xi Feng!" The hearts of the several dozen thousand spectators thudded. This peak-stage Mystic Light Realm human dared to kill Xi Feng!


    "Zhao¡­ Zhao Feng!" Those from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race felt their hearts twitch. Zhao Feng was going to kill the disciple of the Sky Feather Island Lord? They never would have thought that the competition for the Exchange Spiritual Hall would end up like this.


    "He''s going to kill me¡­." Xi Feng felt as if he was covered in ice. Ever since he became the disciple of the Sky Feather Island Lord, he had never felt such bone-chilling killing intent.


    Zhao Feng''s finger technique was very strong. Even if Xi Feng wasn''t killed by it, he would be heavily injured, but at the critical moment, Xi Feng took out a small circular shield from his interspatial dimension and activated it.


    Ding!


    The flash of golden light landed on the small circular shield. Xi Feng felt his hands go numb, and his heart started to thud.


    "So close¡­." Xi Feng was drenched in cold sweat.


    "Brat, today, I will scatter your ashes!" True God Guili let out a breath after seeing that Xi Feng was fine and immediately descended toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes revealed battle-intent when he looked at True God Guili. Demigods were like ants to Zhao Feng, and Rank One True Gods were comparable to him. Rank Two True Gods were the ones that he wanted to challenge. One would only be able to unleash all their potential when fighting against someone stronger.


    "He''s challenging a Rank Two True God!" Below the arena, Gu Lan revealed a stunned expression.


    At this moment, everyone was in utter shock as they looked at Zhao Feng on the arena. He was filled with battle-intent when facing a Rank Two True God. This made them unable to take their gazes away from Zhao Feng.


    "Ignorant junior, I will show you the power of a Rank Two True God!" True God Guili had an enraged expression. A measly peak-stage Mystic Light Realm dared to challenge him?


    "Heaven Luo Earth Sha Palm!" True God Guili started to circulate limitless Divine Power as he thrust out a fearsome black palm.


    Hu!


    At this moment, the skies darkened from the pressure. The palm was like a ghost that leapt toward Zhao Feng.


    "Rank Two True Gods are indeed not simple!" Zhao Feng had a grim expression.


    The power of True Gods came from their Divine Stage, and all attacks were formed from pure Divine Power. The higher ranked one was, the stronger and purer their Divine Power was.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng didn''t dare to fight with Sacred Power since his five-colored Mystic Light Sacred Power was nothing against a Rank Two True God.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng circulated a surge of his white Divine Power. This was the Divine Power that he had refined through the Divine Forming Technique. At the same time, Zhao Feng completely activated the bloodline Divine Power in his index finger.


    "Earth Destroying Finger!" Zhao Feng''s finger released a brilliant light of Metal of Wind Lightning that contained a wisp of Divine Power, and it shot out with domineering power.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    An enormous bolt of limitless scarlet lightning clashed with True God Guili like a pole from heaven.


    Boom!


    An enormous shockwave spread outward.


    "Run!"


    "What terrifying power!"


    The spectators around the arena instantly retreated very far away, including the strong forces on the stone stands.


    When the dust faded away, Zhao Feng and True God Guili both stood on the tattered arena. Based on the explosion, the two were on par with one another!


    "How is this possible!? Zhao Feng''s not dead or injured!" Everyone was shocked. They didn''t think that Zhao Feng would be able to fight against a Rank Two True God.


    It would be very unfortunate if someone so talented like him was killed by True God Guili like this. However, the hearts of those that had feuds with Zhao Feng clenched, and they hoped that True God Guili would immediately kill Zhao Feng.


    "He was preserving his strength before!?" Xi Feng''s pale-white face became even uglier.


    "This brat has Divine Power!" True God Guili had a grim expression. He could tell that Zhao Feng had just broken through to the peak stage of the Mystic Light Realm not long ago, but he already had Divine Power? If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng had injured Xi Feng and didn''t give True God Guili a way out, he would''ve really liked to recruit Zhao Feng to be a subordinate of the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    "Come at me again!" Zhao Feng fully activated the Sacred Lightning Body. The Metal of Wind Lightning surrounded his right hand while the Fire of Wind Lightning gathered on his left hand. The two Sacred Powers of Wind Lightning also contained some Divine Power.


    "You''re courting death!" True God Guili''s expression turned cold. No matter how excellent Zhao Feng was, he was going to be killed.


    "Luo Sha Palm!" True God Guili''s palms condensed the Divine Power of Luo Sha, and he was like a devil from hell as he unleashed a terrifying attack toward Zhao Feng.


    "God Obliterating Finger! Sky Destruction Sacred Lightning Palm!"


    Zhao Feng used two powerful techniques at the same time. The Sky Destruction Sacred Lightning Palm was Zhao Feng''s most familiar palm skill and could be used very easily. The power of this skill was also very great.


    The God Obliterating Finger was Zhao Feng''s current strongest finger skill, and it was incredibly powerful.


    Boom! Peng! Bam!


    Zhao Feng and True God Guili clashed, and everything around them turned to dust.


    "One move, two moves, three moves¡­ ten moves. Zhao Feng''s managed to exchange ten moves with True God Guili without being defeated!"


    "Using two different powers and skills at once! Zhao Feng''s talent is terrifying!"


    The spectators exclaimed in shock around the Exchange Spiritual Hall. It was incredible that a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm could exchange blows with True God Guili.


    Boom! Peng!


    Zhao Feng was forced back by True God Guili.


    "Hahaha, brat! How much more Divine Power do you have?" True God Guili laughed.


    Zhao Feng relied mainly on his Divine Power in order to fight, but how much Divine Power did a measly peak-stage Mystic Light Realm have?


    Zhao Feng had a grim expression. He indeed didn''t have much Divine Power, and his Divine Power was also much weaker than True God Guili''s. If Zhao Feng didn''t have any Divine Power, he would not be True God Guili''s match.


    However, Zhao Feng revealed a smile at this moment. Such a smile at such a difficult moment made one feel weird.


    Zhao Feng clapped his hands together, and the Fire of Wind Lightning and Metal of Wind Lightning clashed.


    Boom! Peng!


    An explosion sounded as the two eruptive forces finally merged together. One had to know that it wasn''t just the two Sacred Powers that merged together; the power of God Tribulation Lightning had also merged as well.


    Weng!


    A ball of scarlet lightning flashed with golden light as it radiated a terrifying force not any weaker than the Divine Power within Zhao Feng''s body.


    "This is¡­ you''re using me to refine your power!" True God Guili stared at the ball of golden lightning-fire in Zhao Feng''s hand as anger filled his face. His face became extremely terrifying and cruel; a measly Mystic Light Realm expert was using him to refine his power in battle? This was True God Guili''s greatest humiliation in life.


    "Zhao Feng, I will rip you into ten thousand pieces!" Black light flashed in True God Guili''s hand as a long black sword appeared. He was radiating a fearsome aura that made him seem like a war ghost from hell.


    "Hehe, I''ll call you¡­ Lightning-Fire Obliteration from now on!" Zhao Feng had a joyful expression as he merged this power into his body.


    The reason he used two powers of Wind Lightning and two different techniques when fighting against True God Guili was because he was thinking about how to merge the two powers together.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!" The wings behind Zhao Feng instantly released a sparkling golden light.


    Whoosh!


    With the help of the Lightning-Fire Obliteration, Zhao Feng''s Lightning Wings Spatial Flash was faster than ever. His body turned into a bolt of scarlet lightning that flashed by in an instant.


    Although he had merged with these two powers, Zhao Feng was extremely calm. However, True God Guili was completely enraged. Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to even take one blow from a Rank Two True God without Divine Power, so Zhao Feng escaped without hesitation.


    "You have nowhere to run to in Sky Feather Island!" True God Guili turned into a flash of light and chased after Zhao Feng.


    ¡­


    The Exchange Spiritual Hall was dead-silent before erupting.


    "So strong! A peak-stage Mystic Light Realm can be so strong?"


    "And Zhao Feng is so fast as well! True God Guili will need to spend a lot of effort to catch up to and kill him!"


    Countless people across the Exchange Spiritual Hall discussed Zhao Feng and True God Guili. They had even forgotten that today was the competition for the Exchange Spiritual Hall. However, while others may have forgotten it, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race wouldn''t.


    "Zhao Feng has offended the Sky Feather Island Lord, so his battle record does not count. Thus, the controller of the Exchange Spiritual Hall is still the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race!" the patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race announced. The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was completely ignored by him; he didn''t put such a small four-star power in his eyes.


    On the other side, the Shark Tooth Race and Emerald Green Feather Race were about to say something, but Xi Feng was still present, and Xi Feng would definitely stand on the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race''s side. Furthermore, they were defeated by Gu Lan anyway, so there was nothing they could use anyway.


    "Zhao Feng is actually using Martial Uncle''s strength to train himself!" At this instant, Xi Feng was still thinking about the fight and didn''t bother with the Exchange Spiritual Hall. He had taken a deep blow, and his heart for martial arts had been crushed by Zhao Feng.


    "No, this person must die! I must kill him!" Xi Feng revealed an insane expression, and he flew in the direction of Zhao Feng and True God Guili. He needed to see Zhao Feng die or else he would be unable to calm down.


    However, Xi Feng suddenly stopped in midair, and a white token appeared in his hand.


    "Come back and prepare to head to the Golden Jade Race!" the voice of the Sky Feather Island Lord sounded from the token.

 1164 God Eye Duplication

    Chapter 1164 - God Eye Duplication


    A bolt of scarlet lightning flashed by through a mountain range in Sky Feather Island. A fearsome light that caused all living beings nearby to tremble in fear chased after it.


    "Just die obediently!" True God Guili laughed coldly. Being a Rank Two True God, his speed was obviously much greater than Zhao Feng''s. Even though Zhao Feng was using the Lightnings Wings Spatial Flash with his Lightning-Fire Obliteration, True God Guili was still getting closer to Zhao Feng.


    A surge of Destruction and Fire suddenly appeared in Heaven and Earth.


    Hu!


    A several-hundred-yard-long black dragon appeared beneath Zhao Feng''s feet.


    "That is¡­ a descendant of the Destruction Dragon Race!" True God Guili''s heart shook.


    Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon only had a wisp of the Destruction Dragon Race''s bloodline, this bloodline still suppressed True God Guili. If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was truly from the Destruction Dragon Race, True God Guili wouldn''t even have the courage to stand in front of it.


    "Hmph, even if you take out a flying spiritual pet, you won''t be able to escape!" True God Guili snickered coldly as he looked at the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon with greed.


    Even though this dragon only had a very faint bloodline from the Destruction Dragon Race, it would strengthen his lower-ranked bloodline by a lot. In addition, the strength and talent of this dragon wasn''t bad either, and it could scare others off if he managed to enslave it.


    "Who said I was going to run away?" Zhao Feng suddenly turned around and looked at True God Guili with battle-intent.


    Zhao Feng''s figure looked extremely small on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, but his aura and battle-intent rose into the sky. True God Guili''s gaze was unable to move away from him.


    True God Guili''s heart shook. Zhao Feng wasn''t running away? He took out this rare pet to fight?


    "Do you think you''ll be my match after taking out a serpent dragon with the faint bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race?" True God Guili couldn''t help but smile.


    While the bloodline of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon did indeed shock him, it was unable to cause much damage to him since the cultivation of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was too low. On the other hand, this was exactly what he wanted ¨C Zhao Feng coming to him.


    "We shall see!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused as cold killing intent appeared.


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon turned into a male with dragon scales that stood next to Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh! Weng~~


    In the next instant, a pair of wings behind Zhao Feng''s back fluttered as he charged directly at True God Guili.


    "Lightning-Fire Obliteration!" A scarlet-golden flame that gave off a golden light appeared in Zhao Feng''s right hand, and countless white bolts of lightning flickered within the fire.


    The Lightning-Fire Obliteration was created by fusing the Fire of Wind Lightning, the Metal of Wind Lightning, and God Tribulation Lightning. It was technically a Sacred Power, but its strength surpassed the limits of Sacred Power and was completely comparable to the Divine Power that Zhao Feng refined.


    However, since the Lightning-Fire Obliteration was created by three different powers, for each portion of Lightning-Fire Obliteration that Zhao Feng used, it would expend three times as much energy as other powers.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng thrust out a blazing scarlet-golden palm of fire and lightning. This palm radiated a terrifying aura that crushed toward True God Guili.


    A peak-stage Mystic Light Realm was attacking a Rank Two True God, but his attack was extremely fierce.


    At the same time, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon also released a ball of Destructive fire.


    "Hmph, ignorant!" Although True God Guili was surprised, he still harrumphed coldly in disdain.


    Weng~~


    True God Guili circulated his Divine Power, and his divine weapon was simply slashed out.


    Boom!


    A black screen with limitless power clashed with Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attack.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng instantly moved several miles away. In the next instant, a black sword-light flashed through the spot he was just in.


    "So strong!" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Although he was controlling the power of Lightning-Fire Obliteration, this power was only a replacement for his Divine Power, which was currently low. True God Guili''s Divine Power was still stronger, and his attacks were unblockable when he used his Divine Power.


    "Using eggs to break a stone!" True God Guili laughed coldly as a limitless air of ferocity charged toward Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had used him to refine his own strength and caused him to lose face. True God Guili needed to kill Zhao Feng and put his head in the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye focused on True God Guili, and symbols of God Tribulation Lightning appeared alongside a terrifying eye-bloodline power.


    "This brat''s Eye Intent is close to the level of a True God!" True God Guili was surprised. He knew that Zhao Feng was going to use an eye-bloodline technique, but True God Guili''s soul was very strong. Would Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique really be able to damage him?


    Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly brightened, and countless God Tribulation Lightning symbols transformed into a ball of fire. Each of these symbols contained soul flames.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Voom!


    A ball of God Tribulation Lightning symbols seemed to burn as it exploded in True God Guili''s face.


    "Arrogant and cocky!"


    Zhao Feng had a cold expression. He obviously knew that his Soul Intent would be unable to do much damage to a Rank Two True God, but the relationship between God Tribulation Lightning and Soul Intent wasn''t very strong. Only the number of God Tribulation Lightning symbols mattered.


    Zhao Feng had more than five thousand God Tribulation Lightning symbols, and he had just used half. After using the eye-bloodline technique, the twitching in Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye became stronger than before, and the speed at which the mysterious golden ball spun within the God Eye Dimension increased.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon both immediately charged at True God Guili.


    "Sky Penetrating Finger!"


    "Destruction Dragon Blow!"


    Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attacks both shot toward True God Guili


    Boom! Hu~~


    True God Guili''s long sword blocked the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attack, but Zhao Feng''s quick finger-attack shot into his body. However, while the Sky Penetrating Finger could heavily injure or kill Rank One True Gods, it didn''t do much damage to Rank Two True Gods.


    "You''re courting death!" True God Guili was enraged, and he circulated the ancient bloodline within his body. He had a Ghost Dao bloodline that increased the strength of his Divine Body and Divine Power.


    "Master, with our strength, we aren''t this Rank Two True God''s match!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said.


    True God Guili''s Divine Power and divine weapon were too strong. If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had recovered to the level of a Rank One True God, their chances of winning would be very high, but it hadn''t had time yet.


    However, Zhao Feng shook his head. Even if they tried to run, True God Guili wouldn''t let them go. Furthermore, if Zhao Feng used the Misty Spatial World to leave, True God Guili might go and slaughter the several dozen thousand clansmen of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. While Zhao Feng didn''t have any great feelings for this race, he didn''t want to see several dozen thousand people die because of him.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved his left arm, and a crystalline red male that radiated a powerful ancient bloodline aura appeared.


    "More helpers?" True God Guili''s expression became faintly cold. Although the strength of this newcomer wasn''t very high, the bloodline aura radiating from him shook True God Guili''s body.


    "Attack together!" Zhao Feng roared, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Wan took action as well.


    "Earth Wood Restriction!"


    "Destruction Dragon Blow!"


    "Sky Penetrating Finger!"


    The three clashed against True God Guili. Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were at the front while Zhao Wan was there for support.


    Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body had reached the early stages of the 7th level and contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning, so normal Rank One True Gods were unable to do anything to him. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had the Destruction Dragon Body, which was on par with Zhao Feng''s body. However, True God Guili was even more terrifying after using a divine weapon. Neither of them dared to take his slashes of darkness head-on.


    "Two ancient bloodline auras and the descendant of a God Eye¡­." True God Guili''s heart shook when he saw Zhao Wan hiding behind Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Wan''s body contained two powerful ancient bloodline auras, and one of them was the Eyes of Myriad Forms. One had to know that the descendants of God Eyes were very talented in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and they would definitely be sent to peak four-star forces or five-star powers when discovered.


    "All of you must die!" True God Guili decided. If Zhao Feng left Sky Feather Island alive, he and his allies would become experts in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods in the future and would definitely come back to take revenge in the future.


    "Black Sha Hell Destruction!" True God Guili burned his bloodline Divine Power and gripped his long sword with both hands as a fearsome aura shot into the sky.


    "Not good¡­ a Rank Two True God''s ultimate move!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically.


    At this moment, True God Guili was going to use an ultimate move without regard for the price.


    Zhao Feng had lured True God Guili out so he could use some hidden cards, but the same was true for True God Guili. Now, he was going to use an ultimate move on a peak Mystic Light Realm.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Heaven and Earth turned dark as ghosts started to howl.


    Bam!


    True God Guili slashed out with his long sword, and a fearsome dark sword-light swept toward the trio. Everything that it passed died.


    True God Guili revealed a victorious smile after using this move. Even normal Rank Two True Gods wouldn''t dare to easily block this attack.


    "Zhao Feng!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon cried out.


    Even if the power of this attack was scattered and attacked the three of them simultaneously, it was still enough to severely injure the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s foundation. It was putting its hopes on Zhao Feng because it knew he had a very strong defensive weapon. Once this defensive weapon was taken out, it would definitely be able to block this blow.


    Divine weapon? At this critical moment, Zhao Feng was calmer than anyone else. His thoughts moved quickly, but he still didn''t take out the Ancient God Seal because the mysterious golden ball in his God Eye suddenly released a dreamy color that stunned Zhao Feng. This was the source of Origin in his God Eye.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon started to panic after seeing Zhao Feng standing there in a daze without taking out his divine weapon. It couldn''t understand why Zhao Feng wouldn''t use the divine weapon even now.


    Right as it was feeling puzzled, Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye released a terrifying force. In an instant, a dreamy light flashed through Zhao Feng''s left eye before turning into a sea of gold.


    "This aura¡­!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression changed dramatically, and its heart shook. It had seen this aura back at the God Corpse; Zhao Feng used this power to cooperate with the other God Eye descendants and almost kill True God Tian Fa. However, Zhao Feng was currently alone. Would this power be as strong as before?


    "What''s going on?" True God Guili''s smile froze, and he started to tremble instinctively.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto True God Guili''s attack, and the dreamy color within the mysterious golden ball instantly started to twist the attack''s power. In the next instant, a fearsome sword-light shot out from Zhao Feng''s left eye!


    This attack was the exact same as True God Guili''s ultimate attack. Even its power was extremely similar! It was as if he had duplicated True God Guili''s ultimate attack!


    Boom! Peng!


    The two blows clashed, causing sand and stone to fly everywhere as the skies turned dark.

 1165 The Fall of True God Guili

    Chapter 1165 - The Fall of True God Guili


    Zhao Feng looked at the scene in front of him in shock. Although he was the one who did it, he had no idea this was what would happen.


    Boom!


    Two identical sword-lights clashed in the air and created a terrifying storm.


    "What''s going on?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was stunned and didn''t understand. It didn''t think that such a weird scene would occur after Zhao Feng used the Origin Power of his God Eye. What kind of God Eye was the Ninth God Eye?


    The darkness faded and revealed True God Guili''s stunned expression.


    "Brat, what did you just do!?" True God Guili suddenly roared. He still couldn''t understand what happened just now. How could Zhao Feng use Black Sha Hell Destruction? That was his ultimate skill!


    In addition, even if Zhao Feng somehow knew this skill, its power wouldn''t be so great due to the difference in cultivation between them. On top of that, Black Sha Hell Destruction was a battle technique of the Ghost Dao, and Zhao Feng didn''t have any Ghost Dao aura coming from him. It was simply impossible for him to use Black Sha Hell Destruction to such a level. However, when Zhao Feng used Black Sha Hell Destruction, its power was on par with True God Guili.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with True God Guili as he started to ponder. In the past, his God Eye could duplicate resources, so Zhao Feng soon calmed down from the surprise.


    It seems like my duplication ability has evolved. In the past, I could only duplicate items inside my left eye, but now, I can duplicate anything from the outside world as well!


    Thinking up to there, Zhao Feng''s heart shook, and he became overjoyed. The strengthening of his duplication ability allowed him to have such a terrifying ability.


    However, the energy required to duplicate a skill was something that Zhao Feng couldn''t really withstand. Over half of his Yuan Qi and Eye Intent had been used up, and his Origin Power had also been used up.


    Zhao Feng realized that his God''s Spiritual Eye was now in a weakened state. It was like a middle-aged person suddenly becoming old.


    This was because Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye had lost a large amount of Origin Power. At this moment, Zhao Feng finally understood that it was his Origin Power that was used up when he duplicated resources within the dimension of his God Eye.


    However, duplicating resources was completely different from duplicating a skill. Duplicating resources took a lot of time and slowly used his Origin Power, so the usage was undetectable. On the other hand, duplicating a skill used up a lot of Origin Power in an instant as the ability of the left eye was used to its limit.


    After thinking everything through, Zhao Feng raised his head and looked at True God Guili with a faint smile. Although duplicating the skill just now had weakened Zhao Feng''s left eye temporarily, it also scared True God Guili since he still didn''t understand how Zhao Feng could use Black Sha Hell Destruction.


    "Brat, tell me, how do you know my battle skill?" Although True God Guili was slightly scared, Zhao Feng was only at the peak of the Mystic Light Realm, so his arrogance resurfaced after a while.


    "Hehe, take a guess!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but snicker. Even the little thieving cat and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t know the secrets of his God''s Spiritual Eye, so why would he tell True God Guili?


    "You''re courting death!" True God Guili''s veins bulged when he heard Zhao Feng''s reply.


    Weng!


    True God Guili circulated his Divine Power into his divine weapon and was about to take action.


    A strong surge of Eye Intent suddenly shot out from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "Black Sha Hell Destruction!" Zhao Feng roared.


    "What?" True God Guili''s body shook, and he couldn''t help but take a few steps back. However, in the next moment, he realized that Zhao Feng didn''t use Black Sha Hell Destruction and was just scaring him.


    True God Guili''s expression became filled with embarrassment. He, a Rank Two True God, was just scared by a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm. If news of this spread, he would have nowhere to put his face in the future.


    However, right at this moment, a ripple of cold darkness pierced toward him through the air.


    "Not good!" True God Guili''s expression changed dramatically, and he used his Divine Power to protect himself.


    Whoosh! Shu~~


    The ripple pierced toward his chest.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash of silver-gray light, the little thieving cat immediately moved back to Zhao Feng''s side.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat informed Zhao Feng about what happened with its assassination just now. At the critical moment, True God Guili circulated his Divine Power to block most of the damage caused by the little thieving cat''s assassination.


    "It''s enough." Zhao Feng''s eyes turned cold as he looked at True God Guili''s soul with both eyes.


    Zhao Feng had told the little thieving cat to hide on the side ever since the battle started. This would allow the little thieving cat to be in a better position to assassinate the enemy when his guard was lowered. They didn''t expect True God Guili to be so wary though. He was indeed worthy of being an old Rank Two True God.


    "Dammit, shameless bastard!" Blood leaked from True God Guili''s mouth. He didn''t think that Zhao Feng would be so cunning as to scare him in order to give the hidden cat a chance for assassination. Furthermore, this spiritual pet had a terrifying divine weapon. Luckily, its cultivation wasn''t high or else True God Guili would have died already.


    "Charge!" Zhao Feng instantly roared.


    "God Obliterating Finger!" Zhao Feng circulated the Lightning-Fire Obliteration and charged at True God Guili.


    "All of you are courting death!" Although True God Guili was injured, he wasn''t scared at all.


    "Destruction Dragon Blow!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon also approached and waved both palms, unleashing waves of terrifying scarlet-black draconic flames.


    Since the little thieving cat had already been exposed, it was pointless to hide again. It took out the dark golden dragon snake whip on its neck and whipped it toward True God Guili.


    "Heavy Earth, Restriction of Wood!" Zhao Wan kept on using techniques to affect True God Guili.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng and company were able to slowly suppress True God Guili without using any hidden cards.


    "Dammit, you''re just using your numbers!" True God Guili roared in anger. He wasn''t scared of Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon teaming up, but now, the little thieving cat had joined as well. The little thieving cat was extremely cunning and specialized in ambushing. Zhao Wan was also using his Eyes of Myriad Forms to suppress him.


    "Hehe, this is considered using numbers? Little Black and the little thieving cat are both my spiritual pets, and he is my clone!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but laugh.


    "You¡­!" True God Guili had an enraged expression, but he also had nothing to say in response. He could only hate the fact that Zhao Feng had such powerful spiritual pets. As for the clone, his battle-power wasn''t simply, and he even had the Eyes of Myriad Forms.


    True God Guili left his clone back at the palace. Besides, the strength of his clone was just average, so even if he did bring the clone along, it wouldn''t change the situation.


    Run! True God Guili thought. If this continued, he would be trapped and killed by Zhao Feng and company.


    Whoosh!


    True God Guili turned into a streak of light and sped into the distance. At the same time, a token appeared in his hand, which True God Guili used to send a message.


    "Where do you think you''re running to?" Zhao Feng waved his hand and put Little Black, the little thieving cat, and Zhao Wan into the Misty Spatial World as he chased after True God Guili.


    Whoosh!


    A flashing golden bow appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. This long bow was the substandard God weapon that Zhao Feng had obtained from killing Lu Wei. This bow was called Instant Sky, and it was used for assassinations. It was strong and as quick as lightning.


    Although the special ability of this bow wasn''t as good as the Sky Locking Bow''s, it was a substandard God weapon, so its power was better.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng merged his Lightning-Fire Obliteration into Instant Sky.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash of golden light, a scarlet arrow of fire shot through the air and scraped past True God Guili''s shoulder. If Lu Wei could see this, he would be stunned because Instant Sky''s forte was assassination. It wasn''t used for shooting at such a long range or during pursuits.


    This bow doesn''t have the lock-on ability, but I have the God''s Spiritual Eye!


    This bow wasn''t suitable for pursuits, but Zhao Feng''s left eye made up for this weakness. Zhao Feng''s left eye could see very far, and it was trained onto True God Guili. Once he had the chance, he would shoot out an arrow made of Lightning-Fire Obliteration.


    After getting used to Instant Sky, Zhao Feng''s shooting became more accurate. Slowly but steadily, True God Guili''s injuries became heavier, and he started to slow down.


    Hu~~


    Zhao Feng summoned Little Black and used it to chase after True God Guili while he kept on shooting arrows with Instant Sky.


    ¡­


    "Zhao Feng, let me go, and I promise that I won''t trouble you in the future!" True God Guili''s body was scorched black, but his face was pale-white. At this point, Zhao Feng had chased after him for an entire month already; he was heavily injured and not Zhao Feng''s match anymore.


    Zhao Feng laughed coldly and didn''t say anything. Even if True God Guili didn''t cause trouble for Zhao Feng personally, he would definitely find other people to do so. It was obviously impossible for True God Guili to forgive him at this point.


    "Zhao Feng, we''re getting closer and closer to the territory of the Sky Feather Island Lord. Quickly finish him!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon spoke at this moment.


    Although True God Guili was being chased by Zhao Feng, the route he was taking had no one around because True God Guili didn''t want others to see the situation he was in. However, his final destination was obviously the Sky Feather Island Lord''s territory.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng condensed nearly four thousand God Tribulation Lightning symbols without saying anything else and unleashed the most terrifying God Tribulation Lightning eye-bloodline technique he could.


    Voom!


    A ball of lightning exploded in True God Guili''s face. True God Guili screamed in pain, but then he suddenly revealed a deadly smile.


    "It''s over for you. My second brother is here!" True God Guili, who was now extremely weak, looked at Zhao Feng and the black serpent dragon as if they were dead.


    True God Guili hadn''t told the Sky Feather Island Lord about what was happening because it was just too embarrassing, but he did send a message to his second brother. His second brother ¨C True God Guisha ¨C was a Rank Three True God and would easily be able to kill Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    Dark clouds tossed and turned in the distance as a wave of darkness descended.


    "Ridiculous! How dare you attack someone under the Sky Feather Island Lord?" An extremely skinny elder charged over.


    "Do you think you can live now that he''s here?" Zhao Feng''s face turned cold as he radiated a terrifying bloodline Divine Power from his index finger and fused it with the Lightning-Fire Obliteration.


    At the same time, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon beneath his feet burned with black flames of Destruction.


    "Sky Penetrating Finger!"


    "Destruction Dragon Breath!"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon used its Origin Power of Destruction with the Destruction Dragon Breath.


    "How dare you kill me¡­!?" Fear appeared on True God Guili''s face as the cold feeling of death extended through his body, but he was far too weak right now and was unable to block Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Boom!


    Their attacks instantly killed True God Guili.


    "Arghhh¡­! You''re courting death! How dare you kill my third brother!?" In the distance, True God Guisha''s expression became extremely fierce and ugly. He was like a ghost from hell as he leapt at Zhao Feng.


    "Rank Three True God!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically.


    He knew that he would offend the forces of the Sky Feather Island Lord the moment he chased after True God Guili, but there was nothing he could do about this. Xi Feng wouldn''t let him go and neither would True God Guili, so the Sky Feather Island Lord obviously wouldn''t either. If that was the case, then Zhao Feng would just kill everyone under the Sky Feather Island Lord''s command without hesitation!

 1166 Hiding

    Chapter 1166 - Hiding


    The reason the Sky Feather Island Lord could rule over Sky Feather Island wasn''t because his forces were very strong; it was because he had two True God experts under him. Apart from them, the Island Lord''s Palace only contained a few disciples and servants.


    Although it was called an island, its size was comparable to the entire Great Gan Lord Dynasty. From this, one could see how strong the three True Gods were for them to be able to rule all of Sky Feather Island. They were all rather strong compared to others at the same cultivation level.


    Zhao Feng had only killed the weakest one of the three, and it required many hidden cards as well as the help of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Wan, and the little thieving cat.


    At this moment, the second strongest person from the Sky Feather Island Lord''s forces, True God Guisha, was charging at Zhao Feng.


    There were nine ranks for True Gods. Although the difference between each rank wasn''t super terrifying, a Rank Three True God wasn''t an existence that Zhao Feng could fight right now.


    Zhao Feng prepared to use the Misty Spatial World but hesitated for a moment.


    If I use the Misty Spatial World to leave, this person will definitely try to look for me, and once he can''t find me, he will most likely slaughter the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race!


    Zhao Feng''s heart dropped. Although the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was as small as an ant in the eyes of True God Guisha, once he couldn''t find Zhao Feng, he would slaughter the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race just to save face.


    True God Guisha arrived while Zhao Feng was hesitating.


    "What speed!" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped up in surprise.


    True God Guili was only slightly faster than Zhao Feng, but True God Guisha was much faster. He was dozens of thousands of miles away, but in the short while that Zhao Feng was pondering, he had already arrived.


    "How dare you kill my third brother!? Go die!" True God Guisha had a gruesome and enraged expression.


    In reality, he hadn''t paid much attention when True God Guili had asked for help. From his perspective, no one in Sky Feather Island was True God Guili''s match. Besides, they wouldn''t dare to kill True God Guili anyway, so True God Guisha didn''t rush over at full speed.


    However, when he finally arrived, he saw True God Guili get killed right in front of his eyes. This meant that True God Guisha was partially responsible for True God Guili''s death. If his big brother learned of this, he would be punished. This was why True God Guisha needed to kill Zhao Feng no matter what.


    Boom! Hu~


    A cold fist covered with the air of ghosts crushed toward Zhao Feng.


    "Master, what should we do?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was frightened. This time, their opponent was a Rank Three True God who cultivated in the terrifying Dao of Ghosts. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s cultivation was too low, so it wasn''t able to run away or defend. It could only place its hopes on Zhao Feng.


    The little thieving cat had hidden in the Misty Spatial World already.


    "There''s no time to hide in the Misty Spatial World or teleport away!" Zhao Feng''s expression sunk.


    Entering the Misty Spatial World and teleporting away both required time. Teleporting also required a stable pathway.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s eyes tightened, and a triangular piece of metal appeared in his hand. This piece of metal instantly changed shape and turned into a black shield.


    Zhao Feng gripped the divine weapon and faced this attack from a Rank Three True God head-on. A black circular barrier blocked True God Guisha''s attack.


    Zhao Feng could also have used the God Eye duplication ability to block this attack, but duplicating the attack from a Rank Three True God would use up a lot of energy, so Zhao Feng chose to use the divine weapon instead.


    Even though True God Guisha''s killing intent toward Zhao Feng would probably be even stronger after Zhao Feng took out such a strong divine weapon, it didn''t matter at this point because he wasn''t going to let Zhao Feng off anyway.


    "Is that a defensive divine weapon?" True God Guisha''s expression turned to surprise. Even if Zhao Feng had a divine weapon, he shouldn''t have been able to block his attack so easily. This meant that Zhao Feng''s defensive divine weapon must''ve been a middle-tier divine weapon at the very least.


    True God Guisha''s eyes were instantly filled with greed.


    After blocking the attack, Zhao Feng quickly retreated and covered the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Wan with his Intent.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and company disappeared.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon paused for a moment within the Misty Spatial World before immediately speaking, "Master, there''s no use hiding in the Misty Spatial World!"


    "There''s no use hiding here?" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    "When one reaches the True God level, their control over the laws of Heaven and Earth will reach a brand-new level, including the laws of Space. Although we''re hiding within the Misty Spatial World, we are just hidden within the laws of Space. This person is very strong, so he will definitely be able to sense where we are hiding!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was extremely knowledge.


    The Little World that they were hiding in instantly started to shake.


    "Idiot! Do you think I can''t find you after you hide in a spatial Little World? You must be from another dimension!" True God Guisha laughed.


    He had already found where Zhao Feng and company were hiding. All he needed to do was bombard the dimension and force them out. True God Guisha''s ultimate move was ready; once Zhao Feng and company appeared, they would die.


    Boom!


    True God Guisha punched out. While this fist didn''t seem to contain much strength, it contained a strong power of laws that entered the air and caused Heaven and Earth to shake. True God Guisha was obviously unable to break through the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods'' spatial structure with his strength, but as long as he was able to rattle it a bit, it would cause a lot of damage to the Misty Spatial World.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately spoke, "Master, if this continues, the Little World within the Misty Spatial World will be destroyed!"


    "What? Destroyed!?" Zhao Feng''s face was filled with shock as he started to panic. Once the Misty Spatial World was destroyed, then all the resources within the Misty Spatial World would be revealed as well. However, going out right now was the same as dying! Did he have no path of escape anymore?


    "No, there''s still a path of survival!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile as merged his Intent into his left eye.


    True God Guisha was still bombarding the dimension in the outside world and causing it to ripple.


    "Come out!" True God Guisha revealed a cold smile as he punched. He was confident that this punch would make Zhao Feng and company appear.


    Boom!


    True God Guisha''s punch hit the air and merged into space, but his expression suddenly froze.


    "How is this possible? I can''t sense them anymore?" True God Guisha instantly panicked. All of a sudden, he couldn''t sense where Zhao Feng and company were hiding anymore. There was no disturbance in space either. Zhao Feng and company had disappeared without a trace.


    A golden-haired figure soon appeared in the Ancient Dream Realm. Zhao Feng''s thoughts then entered the Misty Spatial World and didn''t find any weird traces.


    In the past, Zhao Feng could''ve entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods long before he did, and it was because he had spent so much time in the Ancient Dream Realm. The Ancient Dream Realm was full of Ancient Origin aura, so it was clearly special.


    "As I thought, I will disappear completely from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods after I enter the Ancient Dream Realm. What kind of dimension is the Ancient Dream Realm, and where is it in the Fan Universe!?" Zhao Feng smiled then sighed.


    "True God Guisha''s about to leave!" Zhao Feng could sense the situation in the outside world through the Misty Spatial World. Zhao Feng couldn''t allow True God Guisha to leave just like this; if True God Guisha couldn''t find Zhao Feng, he would definitely search across the entire island and take action against the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng returned to the Misty Spatial World.


    In the outside world, the suspicious True God Guisha suddenly felt a faint disturbance in space and sensed where Zhao Feng was hiding.


    "Dammit, he''s still here!" True God Guisha was becoming angry.


    Just when he was about to attack, the space returned to normal, and the target that he had just locked onto disappeared.


    "How is this possible? What''s going on?" True God Guisha couldn''t understand and was filled with embarrassment and rage. He could do nothing to a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm?


    "That brat is definitely still hiding here!" True God Guisha revealed a thoughtful expression. Although he couldn''t force Zhao Feng and company out, Zhao Feng would definitely appear as soon as he started to leave.


    "I don''t believe that you will stay there forever!" True God Guisha roared in anger and took out a message token.


    "All of you come here!" True God Guisha sent out a message, and all the disciples and servants in the Sky Feather Island Lord''s territory headed toward True God Guisha.


    Since the Sky Feather Island Lord had taken Xi Feng to the Golden Jade Race in Blue Ocean Bay, True God Guisha was in charge of Sky Feather Island.


    There were ten peak-stage Mystic Light Realms and ten Demigods amongst the twenty servants. The three disciples were all Demigods as well, and their strength definitely surpassed normal Demigods.


    "Guard this place and set up the Heaven Luo Earth Sha Array!" True God Guisha ordered coldly, and the group started to take action.


    Apart from the territory of the Sky Feather Island Lord, Sky Feather Island now had another forbidden place. This forbidden place had a very strong array set up by the forces of the Sky Feather Island Lord around it. Rank One True Gods would definitely die if they entered, and even Rank Two True Gods would be unable to break through it.


    No force in Sky Feather Island dared to offend the Sky Feather Island Lord''s forces anyway. However, many of the forces in Sky Feather Island were curious as to why an array was set up in this place. True God Guisha was even camping around this place. What kind of secret was there?


    ¡­


    A black mountain that reached the clouds was located on the other side of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The clouds around the black mountain were also black, and they were extremely thick. Even Divine Sense couldn''t enter.


    Many mysterious figures sat in a great hall. The auras from these people were extremely strong; none of them were weaker than True God Guisha.


    A weird figure that seemed to be made of black water sat at the very front of the hall. The figure had no face.


    "Reporting to Divine Lord, we haven''t found Xin Wuheng!" A black-armored male knelt outside the great hall with an extremely respectful expression.


    "A bunch of trash!" a voice sounded in the soul-dimension from the figure who seemed to be made out of black water. It caused the hearts of the experts present to tremble slightly.


    Right at this moment, another figure entered the great hall.


    "Divine Lord, we discovered a disturbance from the Ancient God Seal in the northwestern direction of the Gulong Zone!"


    The figures present revealed stunned expression when they heard this, and the tense atmosphere instantly disappeared.


    "Divine Lord, the journey is extremely far. This subordinate is willing to go and take back the Ancient God Seal!" A male in dark purple robes stood up. This was obviously the best time to complete such an important task.


    "I shall go!" A bone-chilling voice sounded at this moment, and a male covered in purple tattoos and black bandages stood up.


    The person who spoke previously instantly revealed a faint smile, then sat down.


    "Okay, Ancient God Black Sky. Your mission is to take back the Ancient God Seal and kill anyone that stops you!"


    The figure who seemed to be made from black water instantly disappeared, as if it didn''t exist in the first place. The other figures within the great hall also started to leave.

 1167 Control over the Ancient Dream Realm

    Chapter 1167 - Control Over the Ancient Dream Realm


    Zhao Feng obviously noticed the killing array in the outside world, but he wasn''t in a rush to leave. The Ancient Dream Realm was very similar to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, so staying here was the same as staying in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods to Zhao Feng. If it wasn''t for the fact that he had so much stuff he needed to do in the outside world, Zhao Feng could stay in the Ancient Dream Realm forever.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon in the Misty Spatial World felt extremely weird about why True God Guisha didn''t continue attacking them. It definitely wasn''t because True God Guisha was kind and decided to leave. It was because True God Guisha couldn''t force them out of the Misty Spatial World.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wasn''t dumb and could guess that this was because of Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng would return to the Misty Spatial World for an instant and then disappear again. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t know where Zhao Feng went, but if Zhao Feng didn''t want to say, then it would never know.


    However, none of that mattered. As long as they were safe, it was okay. Zhao Feng would definitely provide resources to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon in order to survive, and then they could charge out.


    Zhao Feng stood on a giant black ape within the Ancient Dream Realm. This black ape had a fearsome and horrifying expression. Dark lights blinked across its eyes, and it had a pair of black wings on its back.


    This was the strongest spiritual pet that Zhao Feng had so far. It was a Black Winged Demonic Ape, a Rank Two True God with the bloodline ranked 6312th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    "Master, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race isn''t to be underestimated. Although their bloodline isn''t as strong as mine, they have the advantage in numbers!" the Black Winged Demonic Ape said to Zhao Feng.


    "Hehe, do you think I''m scared of them?" Zhao Feng smiled confidently.


    Countless beasts stood behind him. There was a terrifying beast horde that followed Zhao Feng''s footsteps. Although some of them were weak, Zhao Feng always used numbers to win in the Ancient Dream Realm. Fighting would also get rid of the weaklings and strengthen the experts. This was the law of survival; the strong adapted while the weak were eliminated.


    Zhao Feng soon arrived at the territory of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race. This place was filled with towering trees and icy mist. A layer of ice covered many trees, and in the center of this forest was a pond. Of course, all the resources here were of the Ice and Water elements.


    At this moment, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had already gathered at the boundary of the forest to protect their territory. Although they had fierce gazes, they also contained a hint of fear because Zhao Feng''s beast horde was just too large.


    "Human, what is the meaning of this?" A giant Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf radiated a chilling intent.


    Under close inspection, Zhao Feng realized that this Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was a Rank Three True God.


    "Bow down to me or else don''t blame me for being disrespectful!" Zhao Feng said faintly.


    Sky Feather Island also had a group of Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, and they had sent people to assassinate Zhao Feng, so he didn''t have any kind feelings for them.


    Zhao Feng was also starting to feel puzzled as to why the beasts in the Ancient Dream Realm didn''t turn into human form. Almost all races in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were in human form.


    "Impossible. The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race will never bow down to a weak race like yours!" the leading Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf said coldly.


    "Then I shall make you bow down!" Zhao Feng waved his hand, and the army of beasts behind him crushed over.


    Zhao Feng didn''t just sit there; he charged into the icy forest with the Black Winged Demonic Ape. He didn''t come to the Ancient Dream Realm to play; he was here to fight for resources and increase his strength. Once he was strong enough, Zhao Feng would return to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and kill True God Guisha.


    Zhao Feng and the Black Winged Demonic Ape flew toward the strongest expert of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.


    "So fast!" Zhao Feng was surprised. The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race specialized in the elements of Ice and Water, so it was extremely agile as well. It perfectly countered the Black Winged Demonic Ape.


    Zhao Feng''s current strength wasn''t enough to fight against the Rank Three True God Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf. He could only hide behind the Black Winged Demonic Ape and unleash attacks.


    "From the looks of it, I need to learn a new flying technique!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    After arriving at the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Zhao Feng''s advantage in speed had been reduced. Zhao Feng was even a bit slower than True God Guili, and True God Guisha was obviously much faster than Zhao Feng.


    This Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf was extremely fast as well, and the combined attacks of Zhao Feng and the Black Winged Demonic Ape were unable to do anything to it.


    Zhao Feng''s Lightning Wings Flying Technique and Lightning Wings Spatial Flash were too low-level now. Even though his Sacred Power of Wind Lightning was extremely strong, it couldn''t make up for the fundamental flaws in the flying secret technique.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Symbols of God Tribulation Lightning gathered together within Zhao Feng''s left eye. Since he wasn''t as fast as the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf, Zhao Feng could only use other methods. The damage caused by the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame was directly related to the number of God Tribulation Lightning symbols, so even though Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent wasn''t as strong as the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf''s, it could still cause a lot of damage.


    However, what surprised Zhao Feng was that the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf''s resistance to the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame was very strong.


    "Illusion of Extreme Light!" The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf''s eyes suddenly turned toward Zhao Feng and radiated a strong eye-bloodline power of Ice.


    "Not good, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf has an Ice-Water bloodline and an eye-bloodline as well!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed slightly. Although the eye-bloodline of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf was very weak, the wolf''s own cultivation was very high. If Zhao Feng was hit by its attack, he would be in trouble.


    "God Eye Duplication!" Zhao Feng used the new ability of his God Eye without hesitation. A dreamy golden light flashed through Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Weng~~


    An identical illusionary power of Ice shot out from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "How is this possible? That power just now¡­?" The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf''s expression turned to shock as it slowed down and looked at Zhao Feng''s left eye with shock and a hint of fear.


    "Black Winged Demonic Ape, charge!" Zhao Feng was surprised before immediately giving the order.


    No one knew what happened, but the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf wasn''t as strong as it was a moment ago, and it was soon defeated by Zhao Feng, the Black Winged Demonic Ape, and the other beasts. It lost the ability to fight, and Zhao Feng imprinted a Dark Heart Seal into it.


    After the strongest expert of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf race was enslaved, the battle soon came to an end.


    "Organize the spoils of war, then report to me!" Zhao Feng ordered and didn''t bother with these beasts anymore.


    During the moment when he used his Origin Power, Zhao Feng had sensed something weird. This weird sensation didn''t appear in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and only happened in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng suddenly felt that the suppression from the Ancient Dream Realm on him had weakened. This basically meant that the Ancient Dream Realm now accepted Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had also merged with the Ancient Dream Realm; he felt a warm and natural feeling from everything around him.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.


    "If my left eye becomes a God Eye, then the Ancient Dream Realm would be considered the Origin Dimension of my God Eye. Right now, it''s basically showing me signs that I have slight control over this dimension!" Zhao Feng said to himself with excitement.


    If Zhao Feng''s guesses were correct, then the moment his God Eye completely awakened was the moment the Ancient Dream Realm would be fully under his control. Zhao Feng would become the supreme ruler of this dimension, and all the resources would be his. All the powerful races here would also be under his control.


    Of course, this was just Zhao Feng''s guess.


    "I need to become stronger in order to prove all of that." Zhao Feng''s eyes were decisive, and his will to become strong surged.


    Zhao Feng''s beast horde reported the situation to Zhao Feng. Their losses this time were quite big. After all, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf race was extremely savage, and they specialized in Ice, Water, and illusions.


    At the same time, the benefits they obtained this time were the greatest that Zhao Feng had obtained so far. Apart from large amounts of Ice and Water resources, there were also two substandard God Crystal mines and an inheritance for the Dao of Ice.


    "There''s an inheritance here?" Zhao Feng was shocked. He had never seen such a thing before.


    However, Zhao Feng first came to a substandard God Crystal mine and didn''t bother with the inheritance for now.


    "Come!" Zhao Feng took out the entire substandard God Crystal mine and put it into the Misty Spatial World.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly stopped cultivating and opened its eyes. A shining white crystal mine then slammed onto the ground and caused Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to surge.


    "An entire substandard God Crystal mine!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s mouth widened in disbelief.


    Zhao Feng had thrown an entire substandard God Crystal mine into the Misty Spatial World. One had to know that one substandard God Crystal mine was the basis of a four-star power. Without a crystal mine, four-star powers would definitely experience a downfall and fade away in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    In comparison to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s shock, Zhao Wan, Zhao Wang, and the little thieving cat were unmoved.


    "Where did that brat go? How can he take out something so valuable!?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes spun. It obviously didn''t put this substandard God Crystal in its eyes, but it was a miracle that Zhao Feng could just pull out an entire mine with his current cultivation.


    "Little Black, put the mine into the ground!" Zhao Feng''s voice sounded within the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s mind. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon helplessly did as Zhao Feng asked.


    Only a few beings in the Misty Spatial World could use this substandard God Crystal mine, so the cultivation speed of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Wang, Zhao Wan, and the little thieving cat increased by several times.


    ¡­


    Members of the various forces in Sky Feather Island travelled toward the array. It was obvious that they wanted to know why the forces of the Sky Feather Island Lord set up such a terrifying array here.


    There was nothing within the array. A month had passed, but no one from the Sky Feather Island Lord''s forces had left.


    "What''s going on?"


    "Could a treasure be about to appear?"


    All the intel agents in Sky Feather Island surrounded this place, but some of the races nearby suddenly thought of a possibility. When True God Guili chased after Zhao Feng, neither of them had reappeared. Now, True God Guisha set an array in some random place and personally guarded it.


    They all started wondering if True God Guisha was waiting for Zhao Feng, but this was just their guesses. They didn''t know where Zhao Feng went or why True God Guisha set up a killing array in the air.


    In a mountain several dozen thousand miles away from the Heaven Luo Earth Sha Array was True God Guisha. His Divine Sense was locked onto the array.


    "It''s appeared again!" True God Guisha''s eyes flashed, but the light instantly faded away.


    The disturbance in space would appear only once in a while and only for a brief moment, as if it was toying with True God Guisha. The disturbance in space had appeared three times during the past month.


    However, True God Guisha absolutely needed to kill Zhao Feng or else he couldn''t report to the Sky Feather Island Lord. Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s treasures were extremely attractive as well. The problem was that only True God Guisha could sense the disturbance in space, so he had to stay here in case Zhao Feng ran away in his absence.


    "Let me see how long you can hide for!" True God Guisha had a grim expression. He didn''t believe that Zhao Feng could hide in that unknown and undetectable dimension forever.

 1168 Metal Lightning Radiance Wings Technique

    Chapter 1168 - Metal Lightning Radiance Wings Technique


    Within the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race''s territory in the Ancient Dream Realm was an ice pond. Below the pond was an inheritance, but since the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was ranked relatively lowly among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, this inheritance wouldn''t be too strong. Furthermore, Zhao Feng specialized in the Dao of Fire and Wind Lightning, and he was currently comprehending the Dao of Metal. He didn''t have too much extra time to cultivate the Dao of Ice.


    However, this was a good place for Zhao Wan to cultivate. Zhao Feng took Zhao Wan and Zhao Wang into the Ancient Dream Realm, and the territory of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race became Zhao Wan''s personal cultivation ground. Although his cultivation was still only at the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm, his overall strength was increasing rapidly.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng quickly flew through the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "The suppression from the Ancient Dream Realm on me has weakened. My speed is even greater here!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly and arrived on top of a mountain.


    Apart from speed, Zhao Feng''s sensory and sight-based abilities had all strengthened as well. The vision of Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye was already extremely terrifying, but now it was even scarier; it could see for more than a million miles in the Ancient Dream Realm. However, this would all disappear if Zhao Feng returned to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Zhao Feng sat down, and a few resources and God Crystals appeared before him. In order to increase his strength within a short amount of time, Zhao Feng decided not to use substandard God Crystals anymore. Although God Crystals were rare, Zhao Feng had several substandard God Crystal mines in the Ancient Dream Realm, and God Crystals were occasionally formed in the substandard God Crystal mines, which he could then duplicate with his left eye.


    Voom!


    Zhao Feng circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique to absorb the pure Divine Power and Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within the resources. At the same time, Zhao Feng circulated the Lightning-Fire Obliteration to refine his Sacred Lightning Body with the power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    These were just the physical aspects; Zhao Feng was also analyzing flying secret techniques within his soul. Zhao Feng had killed too many Demigods after coming to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and he even killed True God Guili as well. These experts all had many movement techniques within their interspatial dimensions, so Zhao Feng tried to understand them all and create one that was suitable for himself.


    "The Lightning Wings Flying Techniques contains the Dao of Wind and the Dao of Lightning, but wind is extremely agile and is more suitable for evasion. In terms of pure speed, lightning is a lot better, so I can give up on the element of Wind!


    "Metal is as fast as light and penetrates through everything. In terms of speed, it is on par with Lightning. If I''m able to create a flying technique formed by the Dao of Lightning and the Dao of Metal, the effect shouldn''t be too bad!"


    Zhao Feng soon decided on his path, but it would be too hard to create his own flying secret technique from scratch. It would be a lot easier if he could read some other Metal Lightning flying techniques.


    A month soon passed, and Zhao Feng made many improvements in the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body. However, he wasn''t able to create a flying technique.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng took out two vine fruits. One was golden while the other was dark blue. These two fruits contained the Intent of Metal and Lightning, respectively. The crystal layer around them had been completely removed by now.


    The instant these two vine fruits appeared, Zhao Feng entered a world filled with golden light and lightning. Lightning crackled across the sky as golden light radiated everywhere.


    Another month passed, and Zhao Feng opened his eyes.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    A pair of scarlet wings of lightning formed behind Zhao Feng''s back and shot light into the sky. The wings behind Zhao Feng''s back then started to slowly turn into a bright golden shimmer as all the power of Metal started to surge toward Zhao Feng. Golden light flashed everywhere in Heaven and Earth.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng quickly flew forward as the pure golden wings behind him left a trail of golden light in the sky. Zhao Feng became faster and faster. He seemed to pass through everything, and nothing could stop him.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng was like a blazing golden meteor that sped through Heaven and Earth. No one could see his figure.


    "Not counting the advantage of the Ancient Dream Realm, I will be twice as fast in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods compared to when I used the Lightning Wings Flying Technique!" Zhao Feng revealed an overjoyed expression.


    This was still under the basis that Zhao Feng only just created the flying technique. As he comprehended more and more Intent of Metal, Zhao Feng would able to analyze the flying technique and improve it more quickly.


    Zhao Feng used divine techniques as the basis to create his flying technique, so when Zhao Feng''s flying technique was finished, it would also be a divine technique at the least.


    "Now I should test out spatial techniques!" Zhao Feng had an excited and expectant expression.


    Weng~~~ Weng~ Weng~


    The pure golden wings on Zhao Feng''s back turned into golden-blue lightning.


    "Lightning Wings Spatial Flash!"


    The wings behind Zhao Feng released a deafening explosion while he flew. At this instant, Zhao Feng seemed to turn into a bolt of lightning that travelled several dozen thousand miles in one go. It was like a bolt of actual lightning flashing by.


    "Using Metal as the main basis for flying and supporting it with Wind and Lightning¡­. For the spatial technique, using the Dao of Lightning as the basis with Metal and Wind as support!"


    This was the core of Zhao Feng''s flying techniques.


    "Let''s call this the Metal Lightning Radiance Flying Technique!" Zhao Feng named his flying technique.


    Of course, this skill had only just been created by Zhao Feng, and there was still room for improvement.


    Zhao Feng then started to cultivate this technique and improve it. Beasts in Zhao Feng''s territory could see flashing golden lights and thunderous lightning flash through the sky every day.


    Three months later, Zhao Feng''s Metal Lightning Radiance Wings Technique was perfected, and his flying was faster than before. The skill was at least a mid-tier divine technique.


    Zhao Feng comprehending the Dao of Metal also helped the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body dramatically. In half a year''s time, Zhao Feng had cultivated both these techniques to the early stages of their current levels and made sure their foundations were very strong. All of his aspects had improved, and Zhao Feng could break through to the late stages of both techniques at any moment.


    "Master, True God Guisha has left!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind at this moment.


    During this period of time, Zhao Feng had always been in the Ancient Dream Realm and didn''t care about what was happening in the outside world. All he did was let the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon keep an eye on what was happening outside ¨C especially on True God Guisha.


    "He''s left?" Zhao Feng''s figure slowly disappeared from the Ancient Dream Realm and appeared in the Misty Spatial World.


    If True God Guisha was still here, he would definitely be able to sense the spatial disturbance in the Heaven Luo Earth Sha Array and attack the spot where the Misty Spatial World was hidden, but nothing happened in the outside world. From the looks of it, True God Guisha had truly left.


    "He might have gone to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race to find out more about me!" Zhao Feng murmured in his heart and started to think.


    In the eyes of a Rank Three True God, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was like a bunch of ants. Killing them all depended on True God Guisha''s mood.


    "But True God Guisha has guarded this place for half a year. This means that the Sky Feather Island Lord isn''t present¡­." Zhao Feng analyzed, and a smile appeared on his face.


    According to Zhao Feng''s guess, the Sky Feather Island Lord had probably gone to the Golden Jade Race with Xi Feng. Since the Sky Feather Island Lord wasn''t present, Zhao Feng was a lot safer.


    "Little Black, charge out with me!" Battle-intent appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Since True God Guisha and the Sky Feather Island Lord weren''t present, did they think a measly Heaven Luo Earth Sha Array could stop Zhao Feng and company? Furthermore, if Zhao Feng killed these people and started heading toward the territory of the Sky Feather Island Lord, True God Guisha would be forced to come back.


    "Good!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a cold and fearsome expression. It had now recovered back to the cultivation of a Rank One True God, and it wanted to go outside and fight a long time ago.


    In the outside world, the twenty-three disciples and servants of the Sky Feather Island Lord were helpless. They had stayed here for half a year and set up this array, but this array only contained air.


    "Ai, I really don''t know what the Second Island Lord is thinking!"


    "That''s right, the Second Island Lord guarded this place personally for half a year as well!"


    Everyone only dared to discuss in low tones after True God Guisha left, but they didn''t dare to curse the Second Island Lord too obviously. From this, one could see that the power of the three Island Lords were ingrained into their hearts.


    However, two figures suddenly appeared within the array out of nowhere. One of them was covered in black scales, and his eyes were cold and bloodthirsty. It made one''s heart shake. The other person was wickedly handsome, and his golden hair blew with the wind. A single golden eye was calm and quiet.


    "What¡­? Why is there someone inside?" One of the more serious disciples instantly bulged out their eyes in surprise.


    "Quick¡­ start the killing array!" one of the stronger Demigod disciples instantly roared, and everyone started the Heaven Luo Earth Sha Array with their Sacred Power.


    An array set up by twenty-three of them was incredibly strong. Even Rank Two True Gods were unable to break through it.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated the Lightning-Fire Obliteration without saying anything and merged it into his golden palm.


    The Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm was extremely destructive against Little Worlds and things of that nature, including the Heaven Luo Earth Sha Array.


    Weng~~~


    A giant golden palm-light covered with scarlet-golden flames landed on the array.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The array started to shake, and more than a dozen of the weaker people felt their blood churning.


    As for the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, it released a black flame with its claws as it smashed against the array.


    Boom! Peng! Bam!


    Just one attack from each of them caused signs of the Heaven Luo Earth Sha Array crumbling. This made the servants and disciples turn white as their hearts jumped in fear.


    "These two people are terrifyingly strong. Could this be why the Second Island Lord made us set up an array here?"


    Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had already charged out of the array while the servants and disciples were exclaiming.


    "Run!" The faces of all the servants and disciples lost color when the Heaven Luo Earth Sha Array broke. These servants and disciples started scattering in fear.


    Weng~~


    A pair of pure golden wings appeared behind Zhao Feng''s back. He was like the sun ¨C bright and eye-catching.


    Whoosh!


    A golden light flashed by, and three people that were running away were cut in half.


    Whoosh!


    The golden light moved again, and another few servants fell down.


    "So fast! What kind of flying secret technique is this?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was surprised.


    A golden light quickly flew around Heaven and Earth and instantly slew everyone that tried to escape.


    "Let''s go to the Sky Feather Island Lord''s territory!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon turned into its natural form, took Zhao Feng, and headed in the direction of the Sky Feather Island Lord''s base.


    True God Guisha, who had just left and was heading in the direction of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, suddenly stopped, and his eyes turned blood-red as he held a message token in his right hand that was currently trembling.


    "Zhao Feng, if I don''t kill you, I will not be human!" True God Guisha roared as he immediately returned.

 1169 Surrounded

    Chapter 1169 - Surrounded


    News of the Sky Feather Island Lord''s forces being slain started to slowly spread after Zhao Feng left.


    Only the patriarchs of the strongest five forces in Sky Feather Island had the strength to break through the Heaven Luo Earth Sha array, but none of them would dare to slaughter subordinates of the Sky Feather Island Lord. Who was the person that offended True God Guisha and slaughtered these disciples and servants?


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was standing on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon as it charged toward the Sky Feather Island Lord''s territory. Along the way, Zhao Feng saw some forces that he had never seen before. Zhao Feng even saw a force stronger than the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.


    "That serpent dragon''s bloodline is terrifying!" The bloodline of a certain force''s patriarch trembled as he felt the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon fly past his head.


    Apart from the Sky Feather Island Lord''s forces, the strongest experts of the other forces were Rank Two True Gods at most. At this time, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had recovered to the cultivation of a Rank One True God, so they were obviously scared when they sensed its bloodline.


    "When did someone so strong appear in Sky Feather Island!?" many experts exclaimed when they saw the black serpent dragon and the golden-haired male fly over their heads.


    Whoosh!


    Black flames flashed through the air as the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon left a trail of scarlet-black Destruction fire in its wake.


    Now that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had become much stronger, its speed had also increased dramatically. In addition, since Zhao Feng had chased True God Guili to a place not far away from the Sky Feather Island Lord''s territory, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon arrived in a month.


    The Sky Feather Island Lord''s territory was a range of mountains. Ghastly auras that reached the sky could be felt from them; there were countless tombs erected and several large halls built half-way up the mountains.


    At this moment, there were some servants in these halls. They were relatively weaker, so True God Guisha didn''t call them over earlier.


    "Everyone fuck off or else I will kill you!" Zhao Feng circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power and roared. A thunderous voice spread out and reverberated in everyone''s ears.


    Although Zhao Feng was decisive when it came to killing, he didn''t kill innocent people.


    Some servants instantly flew out from the halls and hid after retreating a certain distance, but they didn''t leave. They thought that Zhao Feng wouldn''t dare to do anything. Who would dare to cause chaos in the territory of the Sky Feather Island Lord?


    However, there was an exception for everything, and Zhao Feng was this exception.


    "Destroy!" Zhao Feng said.


    Hu~


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon swiped out with its tail, then charged forward as it released scarlet-black flames from its mouth. The buildings here were made from rare and precious materials and the arrays were extremely tough, but they were destroyed by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Destruction Dragon Flames. Everything turned into ashes when the scarlet-black flames passed by.


    "The ancient teleportation array!" Zhao Feng''s gaze landed directly below the halls.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s figure instantly landed next to the ancient teleportation array. At this moment, Zhao Feng started hesitating over whether he should use the teleportation array to just leave.


    Right at this moment though, a ghastly aura suddenly descended.


    "Zhao Feng, how dare you destroy this place!?" True God Guisha looked at the scenery in front of him, and flames of anger almost shot out from his eyes.


    Zhao Feng had even destroyed this place? It would be hard to explain this when his big brother came back. At least killing Zhao Feng and taking his treasures should be enough to calm down his big brother''s anger.


    True God Guisha''s eyes then focused onto Zhao Feng.


    "What an idiot! This teleportation array needs an Array Master to activate it. It can teleport to any other array in Blue Ocean Bay, but you can''t use it!" True God Guisha revealed a cold gaze full of mockery.


    Boom!


    A dark world instantly appeared behind True God Guisha''s back. This was the power of his Little World projection.


    "True God Guisha is going to use his full power now!" Zhao Feng''s eyes spun.


    True God Guisha unleashed the power of his Little World right from the beginning. This meant that Zhao Feng would be unable to teleport away either way. If he tried to hide in the Misty Spatial World again, a lot of flaws would be revealed.


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon arrived next to Zhao Feng. Although it had recovered back to a Rank One True God, it wasn''t enough to deal with a Rank Three True God.


    "Sky Ghost Punch!" True God Guisha punched out against Zhao Feng. With the addition of his dark world, it was even stronger.


    Zhao Feng didn''t circulate any Mystic Light Sacred Power. He just stood within True God Guisha''s Little World projection with a smile. Dreamy golden light suddenly flashed through Zhao Feng''s left eye as it locked onto True God Guisha''s attack and instantly analyzed its structure.


    Boom!


    A black fist suddenly shot out from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "What?" True God Guisha instantly lost the ability to think as he watched the two fists clash in the air. Zhao Feng had actually used the exact same battle technique as him, and its power was the same as well?


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly released a forbidden Destructive power from True God Guisha''s left side.


    "Not good, the Origin Power of Destruction!" True God Guisha''s expression changed. He had sensed the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, but the scene just now was too shocking, so he forgot about it for a moment. He never underestimated the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon since it had the bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race.


    "Destruction Dragon Breath!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon spat out a scarlet-black divine flame.


    Boom!


    A giant sun-like scarlet-black fireball seemed to set everything ablaze as it appeared in Heaven and Earth. Even True God Guisha''s Little World was being burned.


    Boom!


    A ghastly air scattered the scarlet-black sun. Being a Rank Three True God, True God Guisha obviously had many hidden cards. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t deal with him so easily.


    True God Guisha held a dark silver spear decorated with bones. The tip of the spear looked like a tongue poking through a skull''s jaws, which was terrifying and gruesome.


    However, when he managed to block the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attack, Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame finished forming.


    Voom!


    A ball of golden-white lightning exploded in True God Guisha''s face.


    "Argh¡­!" True God Guisha felt as if ten thousand bolts of lightning were bombarding his soul, and he was in extreme pain.


    Zhao Feng didn''t stop after this blow; he took out a triangular piece of metal.


    Ding! Ding!


    The triangular piece of metal turned into a long black sword, and the green lines on it flashed with a faint gold light. Zhao Feng instantly slashed out after he merged his Lightning-Fire Obliteration and Divine Power into it.


    "Little Black, let''s go!"


    Zhao Feng put the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon into the Misty Spatial World, then touched the whirlpool in the mysterious golden ball so that he teleported into the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng only used the duplication ability of his left eye to attract True God Guisha''s attention so he could release a cycle of attacks. However, once True God Guisha recovered, he would still have the advantage. Zhao Feng knew that he couldn''t kill True God Guisha. He only did everything just now to tell True God Guisha that he wasn''t someone that could be trampled on.


    He could damage True God Guisha already, and he would be able to kill him soon. If True God Guisha knew what was good for him, he would leave, but if he still wanted to kill Zhao Feng, then it would be the time of his death the next time Zhao Feng emerged.


    "Argh¡­! Zhao Feng!" True God Guisha roared as he released the anger in his heart.


    He had been injured by the Destruction Dragon Breath just now, and his soul was then heavily injured by Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame. He then had to face Zhao Feng''s divine weapon as well. From the beginning till the end, he was on the defensive.


    However, at this moment, Zhao Feng disappeared into space once more. True God Guisha couldn''t take revenge even if he wanted to.


    "Zhao Feng, you forced me to do this!" True God Guisha yelled before leaving.


    True God Guisha took out a token after retreating several dozen thousand miles and sent out a message; "All True God experts, come to this place!"


    True God Guisha wasn''t dumb; Zhao Feng had hidden in that dimension for half a year and only reappeared the moment True God Guisha left. This meant that Zhao Feng could see what was happening in the outside world. Thus, True God Guisha retreated by several dozen thousand miles and gathered all the True God experts of Sky Feather Island to completely surround this place. He didn''t believe that Zhao Feng could stay in hiding forever. Some of these people specialized in the laws of Space, so they even might be able to find one of Zhao Feng''s flaws or stop Zhao Feng from returning to that unknown dimension next time.


    The moment True God Guisha completed all that, the teleportation array beneath the scarlet-black dragon flames flashed with a silver light, and a white figure appeared.


    "Guisha, what''s going on?"


    This person wore white robes and had a cold expression. His hair was white, but he didn''t seem to be very old. True God Guisha''s body trembled when he saw this person. His big brother had returned!


    A weird disturbance suddenly appeared in space. The Sky Feather Island Lord slightly raised his head, and a cold light flashed through his eyes as he looked toward the area where the weird disturbance in space appeared.


    Zhao Feng''s heart was unable to calm down in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "The Sky Feather Island Lord has returned!" Zhao Feng originally thought that the "big brother" of True God Guisha and True God Guili was an old man, but it was a youth. This meant that he was very talented ¨C a genius that was able to cultivate to the True God Rank at such a young age!


    "The Sky Feather Island Lord is a Rank Four True God, and he''s the strongest person in Sky Feather Island. It looks like I won''t be able to leave for a long time now!" Zhao Feng smiled helplessly.


    He had caused destruction here in an attempt to scare and anger True God Guisha. He didn''t expect the Sky Feather Island Lord to come back.


    Although the difference between the Ancient Dream Realm and Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods wasn''t very big, Zhao Feng couldn''t stay here forever. The path of martial arts was to roam around freely and not be scared of risk or danger.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was completely surrounded. If he didn''t dare to ever leave, this would heavily affect his mentality, and it might become a problem when undergoing the Lightning Tribulation.


    However, Zhao Feng had caused too much trouble this time. Going out when the Sky Feather Island Lord was back was the same as going straight to his death.


    ¡­


    The True God experts of Sky Feather Island headed toward this place. They were originally unhappy at True God Guisha''s order, but they instantly had no more disagreements when they saw the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    The True God experts amongst them that specialized in spatial laws and arrays soon set up a forbidden array spanning several dozen thousand miles. Several dozen people floated in the air ten thousand miles away; all of them were True God experts.


    "If this succeeds, I won''t treat you badly!" The Sky Feather Island Lord had a cold expression. No one could tell what he was thinking.


    True God Sky Fire was also present, but the Sky Feather Island Lord didn''t bother with him even after he explained everything. The island lord was just too disdainful.


    True God Sky Fire''s heart was also filled with fear and worry when he saw this scene. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to cause so much trouble by himself.


    "Sigh¡­ I''m reaching the end of my lifespan, and the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race will also fall. This might be why the Sky Feather Island Lord is too disdainful to take action against me!" True God Sky Fire sighed in his heart.


    "Zhao Feng, you won''t be able to escape once you reappear even if you have wings!" True God Guisha had a cruel expression.

 1170 God Realm Sacred Land

    Chapter 1170 - God Realm Sacred Land


    Zhao Feng sat on the peak of a mountain within the Ancient Dream Realm. Lightning and golden light flashed around his body. Several precious resources and God Crystals were placed in front of him and were being absorbed into his Sacred Power Whirlpool.


    The bright golden sun in the distance radiated fiery rays of light into Zhao Feng''s body, which increased his cultivation speed.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng''s body released a bolt of golden lightning that left behind countless scorch marks around him.


    Weng~~~


    The Metal of Wind Lightning around Zhao Feng''s body became brighter and brighter until it released an eye-piercing golden light. At this moment, Zhao Feng was like a golden sun that clashed against the sun in the sky, but the light radiating from Zhao Feng started to slowly fade away and retreat into Zhao Feng''s body.


    "The Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique has broken through to the late stages of the Metal of Wind Lightning!" Zhao Feng''s eyes lit up as he let out a breath.


    "But this strength is still not enough!"


    Although his Metal of Wind Lightning had progressed, Zhao Feng didn''t reveal too much joy. Although he was cultivating in the Ancient Dream Realm without issue, he still knew of all the dangers in the outside world.


    There was currently no one around the Sky Feather Island Lord''s territory, but Zhao Feng knew these people were just hiding, including True God Guisha and the Sky Feather Island Lord himself.


    It could be said that, at this point in time, Zhao Feng was surrounded by every expert in Sky Feather Island. Once he went out, he would be attacked by all these experts. Even a Rank Five True God would be killed.


    However, there was still a chance of hope; Zhao Feng had thought of two options already.


    The first was for Zhao Feng to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm. He would be able to become a Rank Two True God at the least, and then Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan could break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm as well. Once they all broke through to the Heavenly Divine Realm and consolidated their cultivation, they might be able to charge out and escape.


    The second option was to spend a lot of resources on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and help it recover its strength. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was comparable to an Ancient God at its peak, so it was obviously very strong. It didn''t put a measly Sky Feather Island Lord in its eyes.


    However, these two options both had great downsides. The first option meant that Zhao Feng and his two clones would lose a lot of their potential, meaning that their martial path in the future would be more difficult. The second option would bring danger to Zhao Feng; after all, it would be much easier for the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon to escape from his control the stronger it was.


    "I''ll just increase my strength first. There should still be other methods!" Zhao Feng stopped thinking about it for now. He thought of another option just now, but it had even worse side-effects, so Zhao Feng decided to think while cultivating. He would just have to choose the option with the weakest side-effects if he couldn''t think of something better.


    Weng~~~


    A pair of golden wings of lightning formed behind Zhao Feng''s back.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng turned into a streak of golden light that disappeared into the sky.


    There were many aspects that Zhao Feng could improve right now. Apart from the Metal of Wind Lightning that had just broken through, there was also his Sacred Lightning Body, his eye-bloodline techniques, his Metal Lightning Light Wings Technique, and the god blood in his index finger.


    Zhao Feng spent every day in the Ancient Dream Realm cultivating and improving himself. In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, but the True God experts of Sky Feather Island still guarded outside. Half a year was nothing for True God experts; of the True God experts present, most of them were over fifty thousand years old.


    However, at this moment, no one from Sky Feather Island knew that the other areas of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were in utter shock. A storm was sweeping through everyone, from the bigger forces to the smaller forces.


    In a dazzling golden blue palace in Blue Ocean Bay:


    Weng~~


    A shining white pathway appeared on an old stone stand. It radiated an ancient aura that seemed to be even purer than the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "The Wild Ancient secret dimension has successfully connected!" An old but bright voice resounded across Heaven and Earth, causing the nearby powerful figures to shake.


    The voice just now was the Patriarch of the Golden Jade Race, Ancient God Light Jade.


    At this moment, several old True God experts next to the stone stand came to the pathway and took out some items. These items flashed with different colors as they covered the pathway.


    "Reporting to the Patriarch, the highest cultivation that this pathway can withstand is a Rank Five True God!" The elder''s eyes sparkled.


    The Wild Ancient secret dimension opened once every ten thousand years, and usually, the highest cultivation allowed to enter was only a Rank Three or Rank Four True God. For a place like Blue Ocean Bay, the limit for disciples that could enter was even lower.


    Apparently, thirty million years ago, Rank Five True Gods from various forces in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had entered, and from then on, the highest cultivation allowed to enter was a Rank Four True God. However, for some unknown reason, the pathway this time allowed Rank Five True Gods to enter even in a place like Blue Ocean Bay.


    "Even Rank Five True Gods are allowed to enter!"


    "Great! I didn''t think that I, True God Tianhua, would have the opportunity to enter the Wild Ancient secret dimension!" An Elder in the group who didn''t have any wrinkles on his face had an excited expression as he radiated golden light. He was the race''s strongest Rank Five True God, so if Rank Five True Gods were allowed to enter the Wild Ancient secret dimension, he would be the first to go.


    The patriarch of the Golden Jade Race was silent for a while before sighing, "If Rank Five True Gods can enter even in Blue Ocean Bay, then the forces in the center of the continent would have Rank Six True Gods or even Ancient Gods entering!" From the patriarch''s point of view, this wasn''t necessarily a good thing.


    "Let the Quasi-God disciples who have obtained a spot enter first!"


    The younger disciples not far away from the stone stand were already becoming impatient before the Golden Jade Race patriarch finished speaking.


    There was limitless fortune in the Wild Ancient secret dimension, and there was a limit on the cultivation level. This secret dimension was basically made for Quasi-God disciples.


    To obtain the title of Quasi-God, one must have Divine Power and be able to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm at any moment with 100% confidence. Although they were technically only Demigods, their strength was extremely great. For example, the strongest Quasi-God of the Golden Jade Race, Quasi-God Di Lin, had the record of killing a Rank Two True God.


    Although they discovered that Rank Five True Gods could enter, these Quasi-God disciples had already obtained a spot. The race couldn''t take away their right to enter now.


    "First person, Quasi-God Di Lin!"


    The Quasi-God experts of the Golden Jade Race started to enter with the elder''s announcement.


    The Golden Jade Race had a total of sixteen Quasi-God spots. In third from last of the sixteen was a youth in white, but his handsome face was slightly tense. This person was Xi Feng, the number one genius of Sky Feather Island. He had obtained a spot due to his master''s connections, but of the Quasi-God disciples that were entering the Wild Ancient secret dimension, he was only third to last.


    The Quasi-God disciples soon finished entering.


    "True God Tianhua, protect the Quasi-God disciples of the race!" The patriarch of the Golden Jade Race said.


    "Understood, Patriarch!" True God Tianhua was the strongest Rank Five True God in the Golden Jade Race, so no one said anything about him entering first.


    He originally didn''t have a spot because Rank Five True Gods from the Golden Jade Race had never entered before. Even Rank Four True Gods hadn''t, but for some reason, this time was different. From True God Tianhua''s point of view, this was a fortune that Heaven itself had bestowed upon him.


    Whoosh!


    True God Tianhua immediately entered the pathway, but the pathway started to shake and become blurry. Everyone knew this meant that the pathway was becoming unstable. Rank Five True Gods wouldn''t be able to enter anymore.


    "Rank Four True God!"


    The strongest Rank Four True God of the race then entered, making the white pathway become even blurrier.


    With the entrance of every additional person, the pathway would dim. Only two Rank Four True Gods were able to enter.


    "Rank Three True God!"


    A Rank Three True God from the race entered, but the moment he entered the pathway, several spatial cracks appeared and cut him into pieces.


    Sii!


    The Golden Jade Race was dead-silent. A Rank Three True God had died just like that.


    "Rank Two True God!"


    The Rank Two True God that obtained a spot carefully entered and managed to successfully pass through it.


    The Golden Jade Race only stopped sending in people when the pathway completely disappeared. Some of the older True Gods realized that the number of people from the Golden Jade Race that managed to enter the Wild Ancient secret dimension was almost double that of last time.


    Elsewhere in the Gulong Zone, a giant ball of white light floated in the air above a divine sacred land that was respected by dozens of thousands of people. Palaces and buildings floated within the ball of light.


    At a certain moment, a figure with weird drawings on their face and a pair of sharp eyes entered the ball of light.


    "Quasi-God Heaven Swallower has entered!"


    The eyes of countless Quasi-Gods and True Gods in the back were filled with respect and admiration.


    "Apparently, Quasi-God Heaven Devourer has already met the requirements to become a Rank Four True God. After the fortune he gains in there, he will most likely become even stronger. He might even become a God Lord in the future and become one of the Elders of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land!"


    The eyes of countless beautiful females were filled with dazzled lights.


    If other forces of the Gulong Zone heard this, they would be shocked. God Lord was the rank above Ancient God, but it was only considered an Elder here? However, if some peak four-star forces or five-star forces heard the words "Sacred Land," they wouldn''t be so surprised anymore.


    God Realm Sacred Lands were forbidden existences in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Some four-and-a-half-star forces hadn''t even heard of this term before. God Realm Sacred Lands were mysterious, and they ruled the eighteen zones in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Not every zone had a God Realm Sacred Land.


    The other disciples started to enter after Quasi-God Heaven Swallower entered.


    "Let''s scatter now!" an elder whose figure seemed to be one with the air said.


    Right at this moment, a token appeared in his hand, and a piece of information entered his brain.


    "Right now, only part of the Gulong Zone can enter the Wild Ancient secret dimension? The other zones in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods have no sign of connecting to it at all!?"


    The elder''s expression changed dramatically after knowing this important piece of news.


    The other God Realm Sacred Lands in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods slowly obtained this news as well. Only part of the Gulong Zone had successfully connected to the Wild Ancient secret dimension.


    However, they didn''t find it weird. The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was enormous. The Wild Ancient secret dimension might just be starting from the Gulong Zone before slowly moving around. It might not take too long for the Wild Ancient secret dimension to reach the other parts.


    This only meant that the Gulong Zone had a head-start, and the other big forces could only wait till the Wild Ancient secret dimension arrived. It might take days or even a month.


    Within the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng continued to cultivate the Metal of Wind Lightning. His left finger continued to merge with the divine blood, and he continued to analyze the third level of the Soul Splitting Technique. Other parts of his consciousness focused on other things.


    A humanoid race suddenly appeared within Zhao Feng''s senses, which surprised him. This was the first time Zhao Feng had seen a race in the Ancient Dream Realm that didn''t appear in their original forms.

 1171 Wild Ancient Secret Dimension

    Chapter 1171 - Wild Ancient Secret Dimension


    Within a forest that gave off an ancient aura and Heaven Earth Yuan Qi that was even purer than the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, a young male with clear eyes carefully walked around with a curious expression. His skin was faintly blue and was covered in a layer of scales.


    "Is this the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension?" The male was excited. His name was Wei Ke, and he was from the Blue Scaled Race of the Gulong Zone. He was extremely talented and managed to become a Demigod in just a hundred years, becoming an inner member of his race.


    Wei Ke displayed his strength when competing for the spots to enter the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, but he was still one of the bottom existences amongst the Blue Scaled Race.


    "Let me look at the map first!"


    Wei Ke''s Intent examined a rough map, which surfaced in his mind. This was a map made from all the members of the Blue Scaled Race, generation after generation of entering the dimension. Although countless years had passed, they were still unable to piece the map together into one whole. From this, one could see how big the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension was.


    The Wild Ancient Secret Dimension was the Ancient Desolate Realm of God''s biggest secret dimension, and it normally opened only once every ten thousand years.


    Only a thousand years had passed since the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension opened last time. From Wei Ke''s point of view, it was a dream-come-true that he could enter.


    "I can''t tell where I am!" Wei Ke''s Intent returned back to his body.


    "The seniors of the race said that this place is extremely dangerous. I should contact the other members of the race first!"


    A blue fish-shaped token appeared in Wei Ke''s hand. This was a message token; as long as he had this token, he could send out a message within a certain range. However, Wei Ke didn''t feel anything from his token, which meant that there were no other members of the Blue Scaled Race nearby.


    "The Wild Ancient Secret Dimension is just too big. No one from the Blue Scaled Race is around me!" Wei Ke sighed before revealing a decisive expression. If that was the case, then he just had to move alone.


    Whoosh!


    Wei Ke carefully flew around the forest as he inspected his surroundings.


    "This is Blood Soul Grass!" Wei Ke''s eyes lit up as he looked at a bright red herb in a certain direction.


    Blood Soul Grass could increase one''s bloodline power and was helpful for breaking through. At the same time, it also helped the soul. It wasn''t considered very precious to Demigod experts, but there was an entire field of Blood Soul Grass ahead of him with at least several hundred clumps.


    An angry roar sounded not far away just as Wei Ke was about to pick the Blood Soul Grass, and a blood-colored light flashed toward him.


    A sword instantly appeared in Wei Ke''s hands as he sent out a ripple of water into the distance, which cut several trees and threw them at the blood-colored light.


    "Blood Yuan Race!" Wei Ke''s eyes locked onto a ball of blood-colored sticky liquid in front of him.


    The Blood Yuan Race could devour the blood of other races and turn into any shape they wanted. It was ranked 8612nd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    "As expected, all the Ten Thousand Ancient Races here exist in their original state!" Wei Ke revealed a surprised expression, and battle-intent radiated from him.


    This Blood Yuan Race member was also a Demigod, but Wei Ke was a Quasi-God, so he was much stronger. Furthermore, the bloodline of the Blue Scaled Race was stronger as well.


    However, more blood-colored lights suddenly flashed toward his direction. The enormous field of lights shook Wei Ke''s heart.


    "Run!"


    At this moment, a handsome golden-haired male appeared.


    Zhao Feng''s speed was extremely fast, and he instantly arrived next to Wei Ke. He circulated his Intent and allowed Wei Ke to escape danger. The figures of the Blood Yuan Race slowly disappeared after they flew for a while.


    "Thank you for helping me!" Wei Ke said with a faint smile and gratitude in his eyes.


    Zhao Feng''s speed was at least double his. This made Wei Ke respect Zhao Feng. From his point of view, Zhao Feng should be a peerless genius from a four-and-a-half-star force at least.


    The Wild Ancient Secret Dimension was filled with danger, and many races killed each other for resources. If it was someone else, they wouldn''t even care about Wei Ke, but Zhao Feng saved his life. This meant that Zhao Feng wasn''t a wicked person.


    "No need to thank me, but why did you appear here alone?" Zhao Feng asked.


    In reality, Zhao Feng had noticed Wei Ke as soon as he arrived, but he didn''t bother with him because Wei Ke wasn''t very strong and Zhao Feng was too lazy to enslave him. However, became curious when Wei Ke took out a message token. Zhao Feng then slowly approached and watched in secret. Zhao Feng even purposely set up the Blood Yuan Race just now as well.


    "Aren''t you alone as well?" Wei Ke asked weirdly before adding, "Those that enter the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension are teleported to random places. No one can do anything about it!"


    From Wei Ke''s point of view, the second part of that sentence was completely useless, but it caused waves to rampage through Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Wild Ancient Secret Dimension¡­?" Zhao Feng had heard a bit about this secret dimension in the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "This¡­ is the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension!?"


    Zhao Feng wanted to ask this question but didn''t. If the Ancient Dream Realm really was the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension and Zhao Feng asked this question, Wei Ke would think Zhao Feng was a retard.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye twitched for a while before calming down.


    "My name is Wei Ke. Are you willing to team up with me for a while?" Wei Ke immediately asked. No other meaning could be seen in his clear eyes.


    He had only heard of the danger in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, but he had never seen it before. If it wasn''t for Zhao Feng helping him, he might have already been killed.


    While offering his invitation, Wei Ke started to sense Zhao Feng''s cultivation. It didn''t seem to be very high, but Zhao Feng''s speed was much faster than his.


    "My name is Zhao Feng. It''s safer to team up!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile. He originally only planned to obtain some information from Wei Ke and leave, but Wei Ke was simple and didn''t have any ill intent; he even invited Zhao Feng to work together right away.


    Zhao Feng still couldn''t believe that this place was the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, so he was planning to work with Wei Ke for a while to see what was going on. If the Ancient Dream Realm really was the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension though, that meant that the geniuses of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were plundering his own resources. He wouldn''t just sit there and do nothing about it. The Ancient Dream Realm had always been a place that Zhao Feng plundered exclusively, but now, countless geniuses of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had come in?


    "Brother Zhao''s strength is very high. You should be a peak expert from a four-and-a-half-star power, right?" Wei Ke asked with a smile and treated Zhao Feng as a friend.


    "I''m okay, but the force behind me isn''t very strong." Zhao Feng said. The only force behind him was the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, which would be considered very weak.


    "Wei Ke, let''s go this way. I sense an extremely dangerous aura in that direction!" Zhao Feng said.


    In reality, this area was Zhao Feng''s territory. If he went there with Wei Ke, it was the same as helping someone steal his own resources. Furthermore, the races that he enslaved there wouldn''t attack Zhao Feng, which would make Wei Ke suspicious.


    "Okay!" Wei Ke didn''t think too much and headed in another direction with Zhao Feng.


    "How many people from Brother Wei''s race entered the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension?" Zhao Feng started to ask for more information.


    "The Blue Scaled Race is only a four-and-a-half-star power, so only forty-five people entered, but we have a powerful Rank Five True God as well. It will be great if we meet him!" Wei Kei said without thinking too much.


    Forty-five people¡­ Rank Five True God!? Zhao Feng''s eyes froze momentarily as he became stunned.


    According to Zhao Feng''s guesses, these forty-five people would either be Quasi-Gods or Rank Two True Gods at most. He never expected Rank Five True Gods to enter as well. Rank Five True Gods were even stronger than the Sky Feather Island Lord!


    "Zhao Feng, watch out!" Wei Ke suddenly roared, and the sword in his hand released a ripple of water as he charged at a Sky Fire Lightning Ape.


    This Sky Fire Lightning Ape obviously wasn''t the one that Zhao Feng enslaved. It was stronger; it had reached the peak of the Rank One True God level.


    Zhao Feng''s expression was slightly cold. Wei Ke wasn''t strong enough to deal with the Sky Fire Lightning Ape and would be in danger, but Wei Ke didn''t think too much about it. This slightly changed Zhao Feng''s impression of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods; he originally thought that everyone in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods only cared about strength and wealth.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng circulated the Metal of Wind Lightning and charged out.


    Bam!


    Zhao Feng punched out, and a golden fist of lightning landed on the Sky Fire Lightning ape''s chest. Wei Ke didn''t sense the wisp of Metal Intent enter the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s body and heavily damage its internal organs.


    Wei Ke wasn''t exactly weak; he was much stronger than Rank One True Gods. With the combined effort of him and Zhao Feng, they soon managed to kill the Sky Fire Lightning Ape.


    Zhao Feng let Wei Ke take the majority of the precious materials on the Sky Fire Lightning Ape''s body.


    "Brother Zhao is not only fast, but very strong as well!" Wei Ke revealed a pure smile.


    "Someone from my race is close by!" Wei Ke said after sensing the blue token. After confirming the direction, Wei Ke and Zhao Feng started to move and soon met some other members of Wei Ke''s race.


    "You''re from the Blue Scaled Race?" A male in yellow with sharp eyebrows and an arrogant expression glanced at Wei Ke.


    "Hu Cheng, this person is indeed from the Blue Scaled Race, but the person next to him isn''t¡­." a pretty female next to the male in yellow said. She had blue lines on her tender skin, and her body was well-proportioned.


    "Big Bro Hu Cheng, I''m Wei Ke. It''s great that I could see you here!" Wei Ke was excited as he stood next to Hu Cheng and Ma Lingshi.


    "Wei Ke, there''s no problem with you coming with us, but we don''t know which race this person is from, and he''s only at the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm¡­."


    Being a strong member of the Blue Scaled Race, Hu Cheng obviously couldn''t leave the other members of his race behind, but his gaze toward Zhao Feng was filled with disdain. He didn''t understand which force Zhao Feng was from; why would they let him ¨C who was only at the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm ¨C into the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension?


    Everyone from the Blue Scaled Race that entered the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension was at least a Quasi-God or a Rank Two True God. However, after thinking about it, it might be because Zhao Feng''s race was just too weak. All their Quasi-Gods and True Gods had entered, but there were still remaining spots.


    "Big Bro Hu Cheng, I met Zhao Feng when I first arrived. He''s stronger than I am!" Wei Ke said simply.


    "Hehe, then he can come with us!" Ma Lingshi smiled and said.


    From her point of view, Wei Ke only said that because he wanted to take care of Zhao Feng. How could a peak Mystic Light Realm be stronger than a Quasi-God?


    "If even Lingshi says so, then he can come with us, but you also have to play your part if we face any danger!" Hu Cheng''s gaze toward Ma Lingshi was slightly fiery. He then looked at Zhao Feng in disdain. With his cultivation, Zhao Feng would probably die soon, so it didn''t matter whether or not he came with them.


    His main thoughts were on Ma Lingshi. Although Ma Lingshi wasn''t the number one beauty in the race, she was very pretty. Hu Cheng was the strongest amongst their group of four, and he could show off to Ma Lingshi later and win her heart.

 1172 Azure Sky Fierce Tiger

    Chapter 1172 - Azure Sky Fierce Tiger


    The group banded together in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. Hu Cheng was the strongest amongst them; his battle-power was close to a Rank Two True God''s. After him was Ma Lingshi, and then Wei Ke. In Hu Cheng''s and Ma Lingshi''s eyes, Zhao Feng was obviously the weakest.


    Zhao Feng was sighing about how strong the four-and-a-half-star forces in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were. A total of forty-five people from the Blue Scaled Race had entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and amongst them were eighteen Quasi-Gods while the rest were all True God experts.


    However, after interacting with Wei Ke, Zhao Feng found that the Blue Scaled Race had recruited many of these True God experts before the secret dimension opened. These True God experts were bound by the Blue Scaled Race; they needed to protect the members of the race and hand over a part of what they obtained here.


    After all, only four-and-a-half-star forces or stronger had the ability to enter the dimension. Some lone True Gods that wanted to enter the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension had to join a four-and-a-half-star power to enter.


    "If just the Blue Scaled Race alone has so many experts here, then what about the entire Gulong Zone or Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?" Zhao Feng was stunned. He couldn''t imagine how many experts were currently in the Ancient Dream Realm. Furthermore, these experts consisted of Rank Three, Rank Four, and even Rank Five True Gods!


    Zhao Feng''s strength had become greater, but, putting aside Rank Four and Rank Five True Gods, he wasn''t even a match for a Rank Three True God unless he used some hidden cards.


    Zhao Feng started to panic. Even if he led his army of beasts, that would only be enough to deal with a few four-and-a-half-star forces. Was he just going to let everyone else plunder the resources here?


    Zhao Feng thought of the Ancient Dream Realm as his own Origin Dimension and that everything here was his. He obviously didn''t feel very good when this new development occurred.


    "But it''s not that easy plundering the resources here!" Zhao Feng thought from another perspective. The ancient races in the Ancient Dream Realm existed in groups, and they were extremely strong. Zhao Feng controlled an army of different races, and even he had to expand carefully.


    "Lingshi, since you met me, then I ¨C Hu Cheng ¨C will guarantee you that you shall meet great fortune!" During the journey, Hu Cheng completely ignored Wei Ke and Zhao Feng and only hung around Ma Lingshi.


    "Hu Cheng, let''s go find the others first!" Ma Lingshi didn''t listen to Hu Cheng''s bullshit.


    The Wild Ancient Secret Dimension was filled with danger. They needed the other members of the race to work together in order to obtain great fortune.


    Hu!


    Right at this moment, a beastly and bloodthirsty aura started to spread.


    "Watch out!" Hu Cheng revealed a smile. It was finally time for him to show off.


    "Races in their original state!"


    A giant green python that gave off frosty air from its mouth appeared before the group with a flash of green light.


    "Green Crystal Venomous Python, and its aura is far stronger than Rank One True Gods!" Wei Ke instantly exclaimed. This Green Crystal Venomous Python was far stronger than the Sky Fire Lightning Ape from before.


    "Die!" The giant green python spat out a ball of venom and bared its sharp teeth as it started to attack.


    "Hehehe, you''re courting death!" Hu Cheng laughed coldly as his figure leapt toward the Green Crystal Venomous Python. Faint blue light flashed in his hand as a sword of ice appeared.


    The venom instantly started to freeze, and the temperature of the surroundings started to fall as a layer of ice covered everything.


    "Water Mark Slash!"


    Marks of ice and water in the surrounding air landed against the Green Crystal Venomous Python. Hu Cheng''s movement technique was extremely profound, and he was soon able to suppress the Green Crystal Venomous Python.


    Whoosh!


    The Green Crystal Venomous Python didn''t expect the human in front of it to be so strong, and it directly ran away.


    "Where do you think you''re running to?" Hu Cheng chased after it and used the power of the ice sword in his hand to decrease the Green Crystal Venomous Python''s speed. Soon, the python was dead.


    "Just the strength of a Rank One True God!" Hu Cheng said in disdain.


    Zhao Feng watched the entire battle from the side. Hu Cheng was slightly stronger than Xi Feng of Sky Feather Island, and he had a divine weapon. He obviously had no problem killing the Green Crystal Venomous Python.


    The group continued to move forward after collecting some nearby materials. The auras of some beast hordes were extremely strong, which made them very obvious, so the group was able to easily avoid them.


    However, the further they travelled, the stronger the beasts they met. Races with Rank Two True Gods would occasionally appear.


    Hu Cheng could deal with everything by himself at the beginning, but later on, Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi had to help as well.


    Right now, the experts that have entered this place are scattered and very weak. They can only obtain a few small resources! Zhao Feng murmured in his heart.


    Zhao Feng could be said to be the person that understood the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension the most. The true treasures and resources here were protected by powerful races or races that lived in large groups. The cultivators that had currently entered were spread out and could only kill a few lone beasts to obtain resources.


    "Your name is Zhao Feng, right? Although you''re only a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm, you can''t just do nothing, right?" Hu Cheng arrived before Zhao Feng and said somewhat angrily after defeating an ancient beast.


    "I didn''t take anything on the way, so it doesn''t matter!" Zhao Feng said without his expression changing.


    Hu Cheng had taken the majority of the resources after killing the beasts. The rest were split between Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi. Zhao Feng had received nothing. Besides, under normal situations, if a normal peak-stage Mystic Light Realm went to fight, it would be the same as suicide. It was obvious that Hu Cheng just wanted him to die faster.


    "Brother Zhao, just attack. Your strength should be on par with Hu Cheng!" Wei Ke smiled on the side and said. From his point of view, Zhao Feng not doing anything was him generously leaving these resources to the Blue Scaled Race. He had seen Zhao Feng''s strength before, and it should be on par with Hu Cheng''s at least.


    Ma Lingshi was surprised at how well Wei Ke thought of Zhao Feng''s strength.


    "Hmph, then I shall see later!" Hu Cheng snickered coldly and said no more. How was it possible for a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm to have the same strength as him? He was a powerful Quasi-God genius even in the Blue Scaled Race, so he didn''t believe what Wei Ke said at all.


    Right at this moment, a deafening tiger roar sounded. A giant azure figure unleashed a layer of azure flames on the trees nearby, then appeared before the group.


    "Azure Sky Fierce Tiger!" Wei Ke''s expression froze as he stared at the ancient race in front of him.


    "I haven''t seen humans in a very long time!" The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger revealed a fierce light as a powerful pressure crushed toward the group.


    The group could sense that the true strength of this Azure Sky Fierce Tiger had reached the level of a Rank Two True God from its aura.


    "Zhao Feng, it''s time for you to display your strength now!" At this moment, Hu Cheng smiled faintly and walked backward.


    "Hu Cheng, this is a Rank Two True God. Only you can deal with it. Let''s team up and defeat it!" Ma Lingshi immediately said.


    Of the four, Hu Cheng was the strongest; his battle-power was close to a Rank Two True God. If he didn''t help, they would have no hope at all against the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger.


    "Lingshi, what are you worrying about? Isn''t Zhao Feng''s strength on par with mine? It''s just a measly Rank Two True God!" Hu Cheng said coldly and didn''t forget to oversell himself as well. What he meant was that he could deal with the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger alone. If Zhao Feng''s strength was on par with his, then Zhao Feng could do so as well.


    "Idiot!" The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger laughed as it leapt forward and slashed out with its giant claws that burned with azure flames.


    "Brother Zhao, I''ll help you!" Wei Ke wasn''t happy with Hu Cheng''s attitude and took a step forward.


    "No need, you know my strength!" Zhao Feng smiled and didn''t bother with Hu Cheng.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng punched out with both fists after activating the Metal of Wind Lightning, which roared forward with a sharp piercing force.


    Peng!


    Zhao Feng didn''t use his full power, so he was pushed back a couple steps. However, the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger felt its paws start to hurt, and it looked at this weird human in surprise. He was only at the Mystic Light Realm but was incredibly strong.


    "Brother Zhao''s strength far exceeds my imagination!" Wei Ke charged out with his long sword.


    Ma Lingshi paused for a moment. The force that Zhao Feng displayed just now was indeed pretty impressive for someone at the peak stage of the Mystic Light Realm. However, even though this was the case, the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger wasn''t something that the two of them could fight against, so she charged out as well.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!" Zhao Feng circulated the Metal of Wind Lightning and sent out bright golden fist-lights one after another.


    Several of these fists contained the power of Lightning-Fire Obliteration, which no one could sense. When they landed on the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger and entered its body, they dealt critical damage.


    Zhao Feng, Wei Ke, and Ma Lingshi were soon able to kill the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger.


    "Young Sir Zhao''s strength is indeed very great!" Ma Lingshi''s eyes spun. The Intent that Zhao Feng displayed was very profound, and it was much stronger than Hu Cheng''s.


    Whoosh!


    Hu Cheng flew over. He landed on the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger''s body and started to cut it with his divine weapon. The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger had the strength of a Rank Two True God, so it obviously couldn''t be compared with the other beasts from before. It definitely had many treasures within its Little World.


    "Fuck off!" Zhao Feng''s eyes were cold as he released the pressure of his 7th level Sacred Lightning Body.


    "What!?" Hu Cheng''s expression turned to shock. His bloodline and Divine Power were suppressed by Zhao Feng''s physical pressure alone? Hu Cheng''s heart jumped, and he took a step back when he looked into Zhao Feng''s cold golden eye.


    "It was killed by the three of us. What does it have to do with you?" Zhao Feng''s icy voice sounded.


    Hu Cheng was completely stunned by Zhao Feng''s pressure and didn''t say anything. Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi didn''t say anything either. Although Hu Cheng was part of their race, what he did disappointed them and made them even feel slightly disgusted.


    Zhao Feng started to collect the materials of the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger and opened its Little World to scour its wealth.


    "These are for you two!" Zhao Feng gave part of the resources to Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi.


    "So much! I didn''t think that the Little World of the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger would have so many resources!" Ma Lingshi was overjoyed. What she didn''t know was that Zhao Feng only took the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger''s bloodline essence and gave everything else to Ma Lingshi and Wei Ke.


    On the other side, Hu Cheng''s expression became grim. His hatred toward Zhao Feng reached its peak as he saw Ma Lingshi smile toward Zhao Feng.


    Roar~~~


    An enraged roar sounded when Ma Lingshi and Wei Ke were organizing the spoils of war.


    "Not good, the sound of more Azure Sky Fierce Tigers!" Wei Ke''s expression changed dramatically. Killing this Azure Sky Fierce Tiger had attracted the attention of other Azure Sky Fierce Tigers.


    "Run!" Hu Cheng said coldly as he used a profound technique and disappeared from the forest.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and company immediately followed behind.


    An azure figure slowly chased them. This Azure Sky Fierce Tiger was even bigger, and it had an enraged expression. Its strength was obviously greater than the one from before.


    "The strength of a Rank Three True God!" At the very front, Hu Cheng''s face had turned pale-white. The strength of an angry Rank Three True God Azure Sky Fierce Tiger would be particularly terrifying.


    A cold glint flashed through Hu Cheng''s eyes. He circulated his divine weapon and suddenly slashed out backward.


    "Hu Cheng¡­ you¡­!?" Wei Ke didn''t expect Hu Cheng to suddenly attack him.


    Ma Lingshi and Zhao Feng were also affected. It didn''t matter for Zhao Feng since his body was very strong, but Wei Ke was heavily injured. The cold air also slowed down Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi''s speed.


    At this moment, the aura of a fierce beast descended upon them.

 1173 Increasing Battle Power

    Chapter 1173 - Increasing Battle Power


    Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi''s body turned cold when they felt the aura behind them.


    "I didn''t think that Hu Cheng was someone like this!" Ma Lingshi revealed a look of despair.


    If all four of them worked together, they would have a hint of hope against a Rank Three True God, but at the critical moment, Hu Cheng left them and ran away by himself. Not only that, he even attacked them, forcing Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi to stall the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger so he could get away.


    Ma Lingshi felt that her eyes were blind that she even knew someone like this. At the beginning, Ma Lingshi thought that Hu Cheng wasn''t bad since he was the one that went to deal with the beasts first.


    "I''m sorry, Brother Zhao. It''s all my fault!" Wei Ke said guiltily. This had only happened because he invited Zhao Feng to join their group.


    At this moment, Wei Ke was heavily injured. How could it be possible for Zhao Feng and Ma Lingshi to deal with this Azure Sky Fierce Tiger that had the strength of a Rank Three True God?


    "Die, detestable humans!" The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger locked onto the three humans in front of it with blood-red eyes and slammed down with its iron paw that was burning with azure flames.


    Ding! Ding!


    A black shield suddenly appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand and blocked the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger''s flaming azure claw.


    "I''ll stall it. You two, run!" Zhao Feng''s urgent voice sounded in their minds.


    "That''s a defensive divine weapon!" Ma Lingshi looked at the shield in Zhao Feng''s hand and instantly understood. With Zhao Feng''s strength, it was normal for him to have a divine weapon.


    "Go! My speed is very fast. Wei Ke knows this!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile as he faced the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger head-on.


    "Let''s go!" Ma Lingshi instantly circulated her Intent, taking Wei Ke and leaving. Zhao Feng''s speed was indeed very fast, and he might be able to throw off the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger. If the two of them stayed here though, they would drag Zhao Feng down, and all of them might die here.


    "Brother Zhao, please don''t die here!" Wei Ke clenched his fists and hated himself for being useless.


    Whoosh!


    The two soon disappeared in the dark forest.


    "Human, no matter how fast you are, do you think you''re faster than me?" The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger looked at Zhao Feng calmly and mocked.


    "However, your divine weapon looks pretty extraordinary, so it shall be mine!" the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger laughed and said.


    "Hehe, you overestimate yourself!" Zhao Feng laughed coldly and released a terrifying physical force that blocked the restrictive power around him.


    "Hmm? You were hiding your strength?" The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger didn''t understand the golden-haired youth in front of him. He was only at the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm, but the aura he radiated was close to a Rank Two True God.


    "No matter what happens, you will die today!" The azure flames around the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger rose higher, but in the next moment, Zhao Feng put away the shield and retreated.


    Weng~~~


    A pair of pure golden wings appeared behind him and released a dazzling golden light.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng flew toward a certain direction and escaped.


    Boom!


    The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger obviously wouldn''t let go of Zhao Feng just like that, so it turned into an azure light and sped after him. However, there was a small distance between the two, and the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger was unable to catch up.


    At this moment, a weird sensation appeared in the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger''s heart. It suddenly felt that the youth in front of him was unfathomable.


    The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger had chased after Zhao Feng for a long time now, and they had left its territory. Zhao Feng suddenly spoke just as the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger was about to head back.


    "I told you that I''m very fast!" Zhao Feng revealed a smug smile.


    "Hmph, then I''ll let you see the true power of the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger Race!" The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger was enraged by what Zhao Feng said and instantly activated its bloodline power, doubling its speed. However, it realized that, even after activating its bloodline power, the distance between Zhao Feng and itself didn''t change.


    "Not good!" Fear appeared in the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger''s heart. The youth in front of it was purposely maintaining the same speed as itself so that it would chase after him.


    Hu~~


    The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger instantly turned around, but its eyes became grim at what it saw.


    "Bow down to Master!" A race that wasn''t very strong blocked the path behind the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger. However, their numbers allowed them to fight against the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger. There were also more and more races appearing.


    "Human, how is this possible?" The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger looked at Zhao Feng in fear. It couldn''t imagine how Zhao Feng managed to enslave so many beasts at once. Such a force was enough to defeat some of the stronger races in this dimension.


    "Charge!" Zhao Feng ordered, and all the beasts attacked. In just a short while, the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger lost its ability to fight and was enslaved by Zhao Feng.


    "I urgently need some beasts with strong battle-power right now, so I lured you here because you weren''t bad." Zhao Feng stood on the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger''s head and looked into the distance.


    Now that a large number of experts had entered Zhao Feng''s territory and he was too weak to do anything alone, he needed to quickly increase his number of slaves and strengthen them.


    "I won''t let Master down!" the Azure Sky Fierce Tiger said respectfully.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng used the Metal Lightning Radiance Wings Technique and flew toward a certain direction, The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger flew behind Zhao Feng and maintained a certain distance.


    "Found them!"


    Since Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi were heavily injured, they couldn''t have run very far away. Zhao Feng''s senses in the Ancient Dream Realm were very strong, so he soon found them.


    ¡­


    Wei Ke ate some medicine to recover from his injuries. His state of existence wasn''t very high, and Hu Cheng used a divine weapon to wound him. It wasn''t very easy to recover from these injuries.


    "What should we do next?" Ma Lingshi''s expression was slightly sad. When they met danger, Hu Cheng, who was of the same race, had thrown them behind and even attacked them, while Zhao Feng had stalled a Rank Three Ture God to let them live. The comparison between the two was just too big.


    "Wait for Brother Zhao. He''ll be fine!" Wei Ke said simply.


    Ma Lingshi paused for a moment. She didn''t know why Wei Ke trusted Zhao Feng so much. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Feng would definitely be dead. That Azure Sky Fierce Tiger was a Rank Three True God!


    However, right at this moment, a surge of wind and lightning appeared from behind them.


    "Zhao Feng!" Ma Lingshi''s expression changed, and she revealed a relieved smile. She didn''t think that Zhao Feng would be able to return.


    "I told you that I was very fast. The Azure Sky Fierce Tiger can''t catch up to me at all!" Zhao Feng said.


    The trio then rested for half a day. The Wild Ancient Secret Dimension was too dangerous, so they had to make sure they were in their peak state.


    The trio spent half a day cultivating.


    Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi felt how dangerous this place was. Powerful strength was the key to survival. After they experienced the danger of death, they made some progress in cultivation.


    Zhao Feng also needed to increase his strength quickly in order to protect his resources as well as take resources from the invading experts.


    Zhao Feng absorbed God Tribulation Lightning, cultivated his skills and perfected the Metal Lightning Radiance Wings Technique, analyzed the Soul Splitting Technique, and a few other things. The Ancient Dream Realm was extremely big, so Zhao Feng could only move around in a certain range. He was unable to travel to a lot of other places, but he had two clones. If he could create a third clone, he would be able to control even more places.


    At this moment, Zhao Wan and Zhao Wang hadn''t moved at all, and it was because Zhao Feng told them to increase their strength and break through to the Demigod Rank. Almost all the experts here were Quasi-Gods at the least. One wouldn''t be as suspicious if they had reached the level of a Demigod, and it was only then that they would be able to compete against the other experts.


    Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan''s bloodlines had been strengthened in the Ancient Dream Realm. If they broke through to the Demigod Rank, their true strength should be able to surpass Wei Ke''s.


    The trio continued on their way in the morning. Zhao Feng had now become the leader, and Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi answered any questions Zhao Feng had.


    This was Zhao Feng''s current goal ¨C to understand and obtain all information regarding the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension and the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Wei Ke even gave Zhao Feng the map that the Blue Scaled Race had taken a lot time to make. The map was very scattered, and Zhao Feng hadn''t been to many of the places. There were also some descriptions regarding some dangerous places and places filled with fortune.


    The sound of battle suddenly travelled to their ears.


    "It''s in that direction. Let''s go over and have a look!" Zhao Feng said.


    In reality, Zhao Feng could see what was happening hundreds of thousands of miles away. He had purposely led the group in this direction.


    The trio slowly approached the place where the sound of battle was coming from. An elder and two youths were fighting against several Golden-Horned Fire Rats near the entrance of a cave. The Golden-Horned Fire Rats were extremely fast, and they could use fire. They also had bull-like horns on their heads, which were sharp offensive weapons.


    Several fiery lights flashed near the elder and two youths. Their auras were extremely strong.


    "Dammit, these Golden-Horned Fire Rats are so fierce!"


    The two young disciples were both Quasi-Gods. One of them had the strength of a Rank Two True God while the other was slightly weaker.


    "The two of you, combine your attacks onto one point and attack the Golden-Horned Fire Rats'' stomachs!" the elder roared coldly with a grim expression.


    Hu~~


    The elder waved his hands, and several bolts of lightning rushed out to stall three Golden-Horned Fire Rats.


    "Kill them all!" a Golden-Horned Fire Rat with the brightest golden horns roared.


    Wei Ke''s and Ma Lingshi''s expressions changed when they saw the trio fighting against the Golden-Horned Fire Rats.


    "Brother Zhao, that elder is a Rank Three True God. Let''s leave!" Wei Ke''s eyes landed on the elder with wariness.


    Although the cave gave off a weird smell, the two forces ahead were too strong. They weren''t something their weak group could fight back against.


    "Let''s go find the experts of the older generation from our race. Only then will we be able to obtain more fortune in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension!" Ma Lingshi suggested.


    The two youths were members of the Fire Winged Race, and no one could tell the bloodline of the elder, but the strength of all three was too high. The elder in azure clothes was a Rank Three True God, one of the two youths was even stronger than Hu Cheng, while the last was on par with Ma Lingshi.


    "If you two want to go, then you can go. I need what''s inside that cave!" Zhao Feng said.


    Zhao Feng only got close to Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi to obtain more intel and their map. Zhao Feng needed to interact with other experts and obtain their maps too.


    Right at this moment, the elder in azure''s eyes flashed as he roared out loud, "To the friends hiding in the dark, if you''re willing to help, we can split the fortune within the cave evenly!"


    The two youths and the Golden-Horned Fire Rats instantly revealed wary expressions as they looked toward the forest on their right.


    Zhao Feng and company soon appeared.


    "Nevermind, you can go. Such strength is of no help to us!" The elder in azure glanced at Zhao Feng and company and spoke coldly as he continued to fight against the Golden-Horned Fire Rats.


    The Golden-Horned Fire Rats didn''t bother with Zhao Feng and company either. They originally thought that an extremely strong human had appeared. If that was the case, the situation would be bad for them, but the three that appeared were too weak. Even if they teamed up with the elder in azure and company, it would make no difference.

 1174 Targeting the Inheritance Together

    Chapter 1174 - Targeting the Inheritance Together


    Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi originally planned on telling Zhao Feng to leave this place. After all, the elder in azure clothes and the Golden-Horned Fire Rats were both very strong. However, the elder said that, if they helped, they would split the fortune within the cave evenly. This was why they had come out with Zhao Feng, but the elder immediately went back on his word after seeing their cultivation.


    "Brother Zhao, let''s go!" Wei Ke said. The two youths were Quasi-Gods of the Fire Winged Race. Although the Blue Scaled Race and Fire Winged Race were both four-and-a-half-star powers, the Blue Scaled Race was much weaker. Furthermore, these two Quasi-Gods of the Fire Winged Race had the help of a Rank Three True God.


    "If Senior doesn''t need our help, then we won''t participate!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly and retreated to the forest with Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi, as if they were planning to leave.


    "Even three pieces of trash wanted to work with us? At least they know what''s good for them!" One of the Fire Winged Race youths snickered coldly and felt smug. However, the elder''s eyebrows rose. His Divine Sense entered the forest and found that the trio hadn''t left.


    "What is the meaning of this?" the elder in azure circulated his soul power and asked. A blast of soul power instantly charged toward Zhao Feng and company in the forest.


    Zhao Feng smiled faintly as released his Soul Intent with lightning speed to block the elder''s soul attack. Even though the opponent was a Rank Three True God, Zhao Feng had the ability to fight back in terms of soul power.


    "Us three are extremely weak and just want to watch the battle between Senior and the Golden-Horned Fire Rats. We might be able to gain some comprehension," Zhao Feng''s emotionless voice sounded. At this moment, the trio sat down in the forest and started to cultivate while paying only a little attention to the elder in azure clothes.


    "There''s no need to worry. Those three will need to pay a price if they want to defeat the Golden-Horned Fire Rats. At that time, their strength will decrease, and they won''t be able to handle us!" Zhao Feng privately messaged Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi.


    "Okay, I''ll listen to Brother Zhao!" Wei Ke revealed a tough gaze. Fortune existed alongside danger. If they were scared even of this little bit of danger, how would they be able to progress in the path of martial arts?


    The azure-clothed elder''s Divine Sense landed on Zhao Feng. He was surprised by the fact that Zhao Feng was able to easily block his soul attack. Zhao Feng didn''t seem as simple as he looked, but if the elder invited them again after rejecting them, it would make it seem as if he had no face.


    "Hmph. If you have the skill, then stay here!" The elder''s expression turned cold as a deadly look flashed through his eyes.


    The two Quasi-Gods of the Fire Winged Race seemed to receive an order; they instantly activated their bloodlines and attacked with full force through their divine weapons.


    Boom!


    The azure-robed elder also activated his bloodline, and his strength increased dramatically. Terrifying lightning that contained the power of Destruction surrounded him.


    The azure-robed elder and the Fire Winged Race youths wanted to defeat the Golden-Horned Fire Rats the easiest way possible, but now that there was someone watching from the side, they couldn''t conserve their strength anymore. They would finish off the Golden-Horned Fire Rats and then go deal with Zhao Feng and company.


    Peng! Boom! Bam!


    The trio brought out their full strength and instantly suppressed the Golden-Horned Fire Rats. The two from the Fire Winged Race were originally prodigies of the race, and they also had offensive divine weapons. The strength of the elder in azure was even greater; the power of lightning that he controlled could destroy everything.


    "Dammit, these humans¡­!" Several Golden-Horned Fire Rats were heavily injured, and they were no longer a match for the elder in azure and company.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All of the Golden-Horned Fire Rats started to run into the cave. At the same time, a terrifying disturbance of Divine Power came from the cave, and the aura of Metal and Fire could be felt.


    "There must be some sort of treasure in there!" A light flashed through the azure-robed elder''s eyes.


    "You three are very lucky. Now fuck off!" The Quasi-Gods of the Fire Winged Race sensed something. They needed to obtain the treasures in the cave as quickly as possible, so they had no time to care about Zhao Feng and company anymore.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The azure-robed elder and the two from the Fire Winged Race directly entered the cave.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng roared lightly and entered the cave as well with Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi.


    The walls in the cave contained rare stones that gave off a hot aura. There was also a hidden pathway in the cave.


    "Looks like this place should be an inheritance. Now we just need to figure out what inheritance it is!" Ma Lingshi revealed a joyful expression. She hadn''t expected to find an inheritance in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension so quickly.


    Zhao Feng didn''t say anything and just directly entered. Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi looked at each other, then chose to follow Zhao Feng and try their luck.


    A terrifying surge of lightning flashed the instant they went through the narrow entrance.


    "You really don''t know what''s good for you. How dare you follow us!?" the azure-robed elder''s cold voice sounded as a giant palm of lightning slammed toward Zhao Feng.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that they sensed a unique fortune within the cave, they would have already moved to finish Zhao Feng and company. The elder really didn''t think that Zhao Feng would follow behind them.


    Weng~ Weng~ Weng~


    Zhao Feng had already sensed that the elder was hiding here, so he immediately activated the Sacred Lightning Body and circulated the Lightning-Fire Obliteration as he thrust out his palm as well.


    Boom! Bam! Peng~


    A devastating aura of fire and lightning exploded in the narrow pathway, causing the entire ground to shake. The tough stones on the walls were shattered and fell.


    "Hmm!?" The azure-clothed elder took half a step back and cried out in surprise. He had already used up part of his Yuan Qi beforehand, so Zhao Feng took the advantage, but Zhao Feng''s palm just now was too strong; it surpassed Rank Two True Gods and was close to the power of a Rank Three True God.


    "We followed you because we were scared that Senior might face danger here. Maybe we still have a chance to work together!" Zhao Feng had a nonchalant attitude. Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was the most resilient against lightning, so the azure-robed elder''s attacks weren''t very effective against Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn''t need to display too much battle-power. All he needed to do was get their attention.


    "Fine. If you''re not scared of dying, then come with us!" The elder in azure waved his robes as he flew forward with the Fire Winged Race youths.


    Zhao Feng''s strength had far surpassed his expectations. It wouldn''t be easy finishing Zhao Feng off, so the azure-robed elder decided to let Zhao Feng off for now.


    "Brother Zhao''s hidden himself so deeply. Such strength is on par with the strongest genius of the Blue Scaled Race!" Wei Ke revealed an overjoyed expression and exclaimed.


    "I''ve just cultivated a body-strengthening technique of the Dao of Lightning, which counters that senior''s lightning attacks!" Zhao Feng explained humbly.


    The six kept travelling further down the narrow pathway. The temperature in the area started to rise, and the rocks on the walls had turned golden-red.


    The group soon passed through the pathway and arrived at a large underground pass. The surroundings of the cave were filled with tough rocks and materials. Underneath them was lava, and in the center of the lava was a scarlet-golden flaming palace. The materials of the palace alone were already rather rare, so the palace probably contained some special treasures.


    "It really is an inheritance palace!" The elder in azure and the two Fire Winged Race youths looked at the scenery in front of them with excitement.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The azure-robed elder, Zhao Feng, and company flew directly to the palace of fire.


    Several Golden-Horned Fire Rats appeared before the entrance to the palace. They revealed fierce gazes, and their injuries from before had fully recovered.


    "This is an inheritance left behind by the ancestors of the Golden-Horned Fire Rats. Don''t even think about entering!" the Golden-Horned Fire Rat with the strongest aura said angrily.


    Right at this moment, a powerful aura came from inside the blazing scarlet-golden palace.


    "Not good, a Golden-Horned Fire Rat is receiving the inheritance inside!" The azure-robed elder''s expression changed. It wasn''t easy dealing with the Golden-Horned Fire Rats to begin with. Once the Golden-Horned Fire Rat within the flaming palace accepted the power of the inheritance, it would become even harder to deal with them.


    "This friend and Quasi-Gods of the Blue Scaled Race, let''s attack together!" The elder in azure looked toward Zhao Feng and company. Zhao Feng''s strength wasn''t to be underestimated, and if they wanted to obtain the treasures here, they would need to work together.


    "Since Senior is inviting us, then I will help out!" Zhao Feng smiled, but the elder in azure felt disgusted by this smile.


    "Let''s take action together!" the elder roared as the six charged out.


    "Protect the inheritance!" The Golden-Horned Fire Rats activated their bloodline power.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    An invisible power of Fire and Metal within the depths of the palace entered the Golden-Horned Fire Rats'' bodies, increasing their battle-power and bloodline strength.


    "No wonder they chose to escape back here!" One of the Fire Winged Race Quasi-Gods had a grim expression. The battle-power of the Golden-Horned Fire Rats near the inheritance was much stronger than when they were outside. If it was just their group of three, they wouldn''t have been able to deal with the rats.


    Boom! Peng! Peng~


    The six clashed against the Golden-Horned Fire Rats. Zhao Feng circulated the Lightning-Fire Obliteration, and his powerful attacks instantly attracted their attention.


    The battle-power of this brat is much greater than the two Quasi-God prodigies from the Fire Winged Race! The elder in azure paid attention to Zhao Feng. It was incredible that someone at the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm had such strength. The stronger he was though, the greater the chance of obtaining the fortune here.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Punch!"


    "Lightning Destruction Palm!"


    The six combined their power and managed to suppress the Golden-Horned Fire Rats despite their increase in strength from the inheritance. One of the Golden-Horned Fire Rats was soon killed, and the group of six closed in on the fire palace.


    "Brat, you three stall the Golden-Horned Fire Rats while we enter and take the treasures. We''ll split it all evenly with you after we come out. What do you think?" the elder in azure suggested at this moment.


    "That''s right. The Golden-Horned Fire Rats are receiving the inheritance inside. We need to stop them or else we probably won''t be able to obtain the treasures even if all six of us team up!" The Quasi-God prodigies of the Fire Winged Race immediately agreed.


    "Okay, leave them to us!" Zhao Feng agreed.


    The elder in azure and the two Quasi-Gods from the Fire Winged Race revealed surprised expressions. They originally thought that Zhao Feng would negotiate with them, but he agreed right away? This made them suspicious.


    "You need to stall these Golden-Horned Fire Rats!" The elder in azure didn''t bother with Zhao Feng anymore and flew into the flaming palace with the Quasi-Gods of the Fire Winged Race.


    "Brother Zhao, how could you agree? What if they take the treasures and ignore us?" Wei Ke asked, somewhat worried.


    At this moment, although the Golden-Horned Fire Rats were heavily injured, it would be difficult for just the three of them to stall the rats.


    "No need. The treasures in the fire palace aren''t that easy to obtain!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile, which made Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi relax. If Zhao Feng dared to let the other three enter to take the treasures, he obviously wasn''t scared of them leaving after taking the treasures. It was indeed not very easy to obtain the treasures inside.


    An enraged roar sounded from within the palace not long after the azure-robed elder and company entered; "How dare you gaze upon the inheritance of the Golden-Horned Fire Rat Race? Die!"


    "Not good, this Golden-Horned Fire Rat has received part of the inheritance''s power, and its strength has reached the level of a Rank Three True God!" the azure-robed elder exclaimed. Although he was also a Rank Three True God, the Golden-Horned Fire Rat could release more power in this environment.

 1175 Stopping a Rank Three True God

    Chapter 1175 - Stopping a Rank Three True God


    The pressure on Zhao Feng and company instantly increased after the elder in azure and the Fire Winged Race Quasi-Gods entered the palace. However, based on the explosions sounding from inside the palace, it seemed as if the battle inside was even more intense.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning palm!" Zhao Feng merged his Lightning-Fire Obliteration and Sacred Lightning Physical Force together and unleashed a brilliant scarlet-golden palm that crushed toward the Golden-Horned Fire Rats.


    Now that it was just the three of them dealing with the Golden-Horned Fire Rats, Zhao Feng had to take out some of his true skill or else Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi wouldn''t be able to stand it anymore.


    However, they were worthy of being geniuses of the Blue Scaled Race. They were extremely talented, and their potential was activated in this fight, increasing their battle-power.


    "Brother Zhao, I didn''t think you were so strong!" Wei Ke said with surprise.


    The times Zhao Feng took action before were all very short. Nothing could really be seen from those, but now that Zhao Feng was releasing all his battle-power, it surprised Wei Ke.


    Weird lights flashed through Ma Lingshi''s eyes. Zhao Feng''s strength was on par with the strongest Quasi-God of the Blue Scaled Race, Lan Ye. Perhaps they could indeed obtain a share from the inheritance of the Golden-Horned Fire Rat Race.


    Boom! Peng!


    Explosions kept on sounding from the blazing palace, and the occasional angry roar of Golden-Horned Fire Rats could be heard.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but circulate his left eye and look at the situation within the palace. The Golden-Horned Fire Rat inside was even bigger than the rats outside. It was surrounded by fire and golden light, and its strength was even greater than the elder in azure.


    However, the two Quasi-Gods of the Fire Winged Race weren''t simple either. Their fire bloodlines were of a higher grade than the Golden-Horned Fire Rats'', and they were agile and fast. They kept using their divine weapons to attack the Golden-Horned Fire Rat.


    "Senior, if you don''t hurry up, more experts will be attracted here!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly and said loudly.


    The expression of the azure-robed elder became grim as he fought the Golden-Horned Fire Rat. Their luck was just shit. They just entered the palace, but the Golden-Horned Fire Rat had already completely received the inheritance. However, they were the ones that came up with this suggestion, so they had to finish off this terrifying Golden-Horned Fire Rat even though their scalps tingled.


    "The two of you are both Quasi-God prodigies of the Fire Winged Race. You must have some sort of hidden card, right?" The elder in azure asked the prodigies from the Fire Winged Race.


    One of the Quasi-Gods from the Fire Winged Race felt helpless and prepared to use one of his hidden cards. This Quasi-God of the Fire Winged Race released an abnormally strong Divine Power into his divine weapon, and his battle techniques started to damage the Golden-Horned Fire Rat.


    The other two then used this chance to force the Golden-Horned Fire Rat into a weak position, giving it severe injuries.


    Boom!


    The Golden-Horned Fire Rat charged out of the palace with heavy injuries. It didn''t run away or attack Zhao Feng and company; instead, it charged into the lava around the palace.


    "Hmm? The temperature of this lava isn''t very high, but it contains a weird bloodline power!" Seeing that, Zhao Feng realized that the lava was also a precious type of resource.


    The elder in azure and the Fire Winged Race youths arrived next to Zhao Feng and company and helped them defeat the Golden-Horned Fire Rats.


    "This is what we obtained. You can choose a part of it!" The elder took out an interspatial ring.


    "I thought that the three of you would just run off with the treasures!" Zhao Feng said with a deep smile.


    In reality, the elder in azure robes had no intention of helping Zhao Feng and company after he came out, but he heard what they said and decided to help Zhao Feng and company resolve the danger.


    Zhao Feng and company''s Intents entered the interspatial ring. There were many precious resources and techniques.


    Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi obviously wouldn''t believe that this was everything, but seeing that Zhao Feng didn''t say anything, they said nothing either. After all, the treasures were already very plentiful.


    "How dare you steal the treasures of the Golden-Horned Fire Rat Race? I won''t let you off!" The giant Golden-Horned Fire Rat roared within the lava.


    "Not good, that bastard''s injuries have recovered. Run!" The elder put away the interspatial ring and flew toward the exit.


    Zhao Feng and company also left without hesitation.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng, the elder in azure, and company jumped out from the cave, but Ma Lingshi''s and Wei Ke''s expressions changed dramatically as they looked forward.


    "Hu Cheng, you shameless bastard!" Ma Lingshi cursed directly.


    The elder in azure and company looked at the group of people from the Blue Scaled Race in front of him with a wary expression.


    "Lingshi, I immediately went to find reinforcements after I escaped to come back and save you!" Hu Cheng immediately started to explain, but his expression showed no signs of any kind of worry.


    Of the three next to him, one was his big brother ¨C Hu Sang, a Quasi-God prodigy of the Blue Scaled Race. The other two were Blue Scaled Race True God experts.


    "Zhao Feng, back then, you did nothing but stole my resources. Now that my big brother and seniors of the Blue Scaled Race are here, they will deal with you fairly!" Hu Cheng glared at Zhao Feng with hatred and smugness.


    "Hu Cheng, Zhao Feng didn''t take any resources when he was with you, but when we met danger, you threw us behind and ran away by yourself. If it wasn''t for Zhao Feng, we would have died long ago. Now you''re putting the blame on Zhao Feng!?" Wei Ke explained the truth angrily.


    "Hmph!" Right at this moment, Hu Sang took a step forward and released a surge of pressure toward Wei Ke. Wei Ke told everyone the truth; wasn''t this making him lose face?


    On the side, the elder in azure and the other two revealed smiles. They were originally scared of the Blue Scaled Race teaming up and dealing with them, but it seemed like the internal strife between the Blue Scaled Race couldn''t be resolved very easily. This meant that they didn''t need to worry about the Blue Scaled Race stealing what they had obtained. Furthermore, the person that the Blue Scaled Race was dealing with was Zhao Feng, which the trio was happy to see.


    "Brat, hand over the interspatial dimension, and I''ll let you live!" Hu Sang looked at Zhao Feng with fiery eyes.


    They could obviously tell that Zhao Feng and the other five had obtained something after entering the cave. Those from the Fire Winged Race were strong, so they weren''t easy to deal with. Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi were from the same race, so they couldn''t steal from them. However, it would be easy to deal with Zhao Feng, whose cultivation was low, and he had no force behind him.


    The two True God experts of the Blue Scaled Race behind Hu Sang also took a step forward, and an invisible aura crushed toward Zhao Feng. It was obvious that the status of Hu Cheng''s big brother was unique amongst the Quasi-Gods in the Blue Scaled Race. The True God experts of the race were obviously protecting him, and they didn''t care about what Ma Lingshi and Wei Ke said.


    "You¡­!" Wei Ke''s body started to tremble. He didn''t know what to say, and he gave an apologetic glance to Zhao Feng.


    "Move aside or else I will treat you like a traitor!" Hu Sang looked at Wei Ke coldly. Although they were both Quasi-God geniuses of the Blue Scaled Race, Wei Ke could not be compared to him.


    Weng~


    Hu Sang raised his right hand, summoned his Divine Power, and was about to take action, but right at this moment, the earth started to tremble. The trembling sensation became stronger and stronger until, finally, the entire earth started to shake. The sky became dark as countless fierce beast auras rose into the air.


    "This is¡­ a beast horde?" Hu Sang stood in shock as he looked into the distance in shock.


    The Fire Winged Race youths and the other Blue Scaled Race members were in utter shock as well as they looked at the terrifying number of beasts in the distance. They had never heard of a beast horde in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension.


    Although the cultivations of these beasts weren''t very high, their numbers were terrifying.


    "Go!" The elder in azure and those from the Fire Winged Race left.


    "Younger brother, go!" Hu Sang said before leaving with the Blue Scaled Race members.


    "What are you still doing there!?" a True God expert from the Blue Scaled Race roared coldly toward Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi.


    "Brat, I''ll let you live today!" Hu Cheng glared at Zhao Feng. Saving themselves was the most important thing.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng didn''t stay behind either and flew in a certain direction. No one realized that there was a faint smile on his face.


    This large beast horde was obviously composed of Zhao Feng''s slaves. They had been hiding near Zhao Feng and listening to his orders.


    "That group from the Fire Winged Race¡­!" Zhao Feng''s eyes locked onto the azure-robed elder''s group and chased after them.


    The beast horde suddenly changed direction and started moving toward the Fire Winged Race''s group.


    Whoosh! Weng~~


    Zhao Feng turned into a faint golden streak of light that sped through Heaven and Earth. His speed was greater than the azure-robed elder, and this was the Ancient Dream Realm, where he was even faster than in the outside world. He soon managed to catch up to the Fire Winged Race''s group.


    "Zhao Feng?" The elder in azure had a surprised expression as he looked at the golden-haired male in front of him. It was incredible that a peak Mystic Light Realm could catch up to them.


    "Not good, the beast horde is coming in our direction!" At this moment, one of the Quasi-Gods from the Fire Winged Race exclaimed.


    The trio''s expressions changed dramatically. How could the beast horde suddenly change direction toward them unless it was being controlled by someone? Thinking up to here, the trio''s expressions turned to shock as they stared at Zhao Feng, and a cold sensation started to travel upward from their feet.


    "You''re not going anywhere!" Zhao Feng''s index finger released a surge of ancient bloodline Divine Power. At the same time, a terrifying force of Lightning-Fire Obliteration surrounded it.


    Zhao Feng obviously couldn''t hide his strength anymore if he wanted to kill them.


    "Earth Destroying Finger!"


    A storm of limitless scarlet-golden lightning shot out. It was like a pole of heaven that thrust forward.


    The two Quasi-Gods of the Fire Winged Race were heavily injured by Zhao Feng in just one finger. They looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief; how could he be so strong?


    Boom! Weng~~~


    Lightning crackled around the azure-robed elder''s body as he broke through Zhao Feng''s attack, and he remained uninjured.


    "Hmph. I don''t know how you managed to enslave so many ancient races, but do you really think you can stop me with just your measly peak-stage Mystic Light Realm cultivation?"


    Although the azure-robed elder was shocked by Zhao Feng''s skill, his mind was very clear. While the beast horde was terrifying, its speed wasn''t as fast as his. Everything would be solved as long as he killed Zhao Feng.


    "Humming Thunder, Flash of Lightning!" The elder in azure waved his palms in the air. Lightning in Heaven and Earth instantly turned into a desolate beast that charged toward Zhao Feng.


    "God Eye Duplication!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly as a dreamy light flashed through his eye.


    Boom!


    A chaotic lightning beast jumped out from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "How is this possible? That''s my Humming Thunder, Flash of Lightning!" The azure-robed elder''s mind shook as he looked at the two terrifying surges of lightning clash against each another.

 1176 Overall Strength Increase

    Chapter 1176 - Overall Strength Increase


    Lightning crackled and exploded in Heaven and Earth. On the side, the two Quasi-Gods from the Fire Winged Race also looked at this scene in shock. Zhao Feng, who was only at the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm, managed to use the ultimate move of a Rank Three True God? In particular, the Humming Thunder, Flash of Lightning was the azure-robed elder''s technique; how could Zhao Feng know it?


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The beast horde started to get closer and closer. The terrifying wave of beast auras caused the two Fire Winged Race youths to tremble, and they became unable to breathe.


    "Fuck off!" The azure-robed elder revealed a deadly expression and unleashed an abnormally powerful attack. Although he didn''t understand what just happened, saving his life was the most important thing right now. He needed to kill Zhao Feng or break past him as quickly as possible.


    Ding! Ding!


    Zhao Feng didn''t dare to become cocky when facing the counterattack of a Rank Three True God. A black shield appeared in his hand as the power of God Tribulation Lightning flashed through his left eye.


    Boom! Peng!


    Zhao Feng used the shield-shaped Ancient God Seal to block the azure-robed elder''s attack. At the same time, his left eye started to brew an eye-bloodline technique, which instantly shot toward the elder in azure.


    Boom! Bam!


    A ball of God Tribulation Lightning flames exploded in the azure-robed elder''s face.


    "Argh¡­!" The elder in azure screamed. He felt as if ten thousand bolts of lightning had shot through his soul. At this moment, he felt like he would rather die.


    Ding! Ding!


    The black shield in Zhao Feng''s hand instantly turned into a long black sword. He then circulated the Lightning-Fire Obliteration and slashed toward the elder in azure.


    Peng!


    The elder in azure instantly woke up from the pain and used his Divine Power to unleash another bolt of lightning that clashed against Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    A golden burst of lightning-fire shot toward the elder in azure from the explosion. It was obvious that the elder in azure had underestimated the power of Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "You''re courting death!" The azure-robed elder was enraged. He didn''t think that Zhao Feng''s soul attack was so strong that it could injure him. Zhao Feng also had a divine weapon that transform into a shield or a sword. This was why the elder was the one at a disadvantage when clashing against Zhao Feng.


    "You can die in peace after forcing me to use my ultimate move!" The azure-robed elder''s eyes became sharp as a surge of continuous chaotic Divine Power flowed out from his body.


    "Lightning Howl!" The elder in azure clapped his hands together and gathered all the power of lightning together until it formed a terrifying monster of lightning.


    Wu~~~


    A deafening howl sounded from the lightning monster. The howl seemed to be similar to a dragon''s or a tiger''s, and it surged out in every direction.


    "So strong! He merged the power of lightning into a sound attack!"


    Zhao Feng felt as if his body had been attacked by an invisible wave of lightning. Luckily, his resistance against lightning was strong, or else this surge of lightning would have entered his body and done some serious damage.


    However, the two prodigies of the Fire Winged Race didn''t fare very well. Their bloodlines started to freeze from the power of this roar. Even their souls were slightly injured.


    "Kill!" The azure-robed elder waved his hand, and the terrifying lightning monster released an explosion as it instantly arrived before Zhao Feng and struck out with limitless lightning.


    "So fast!" Zhao Feng''s heart tightened as the black long sword turned into a black shield.


    At the same time, a dreamy light flashed through his left eye. The golden light flashed and locked onto this ultimate Lightning Howl technique.


    It''s hard for me to block it even with the Ancient God Seal! Zhao Feng was stunned. The Ancient God Seal was definitely a powerful divine weapon, but his cultivation was just too low to be able to utilize its full power.


    "Hahahaha! Once you die, the beasts won''t be controlled anymore, and all your treasures shall be mine!" The elder''s face was red, but he laughed out loud.


    While this move used up a lot of energy, he was sure that no one below the level of a Rank Three True God would survive. Once Zhao Feng died, the danger of the beast horde would be resolved, and he would be able to obtain all of Zhao Feng''s treasures, such as the divine weapon that could change shape. The elder in azure could obviously tell that this weapon wasn''t normal.


    Weng~~~ Boom~~~~


    Zhao Feng was pushed back several dozen steps by the terrifying lightning, and the power of lightning started to attack Zhao Feng from every direction. Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body was extremely strong though, and it blocked most of the damage.


    "You managed to block it¡­? Go die!" The elder in azure paused for a moment before revealing a nasty expression. His figure flashed and approached from the side as a surge of lightning struck toward Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s blood started to toss and turn. He only just barely managed to block the Lightning Howl. The situation was becoming desperate!


    The elder had a cold smile on his nasty face, and he looked at Zhao Feng like he was looking at a dead person.


    "You''re getting happy too early!" Zhao Feng stabilized himself as both his hands supported the Ancient God Seal. A cold smile formed on his face as his left eye suddenly released a surge of terrifying lightning.


    Wu~~~


    A terrifying lightning monster whose howl shook the skies leapt forward.


    "What¡­? This is my Lightning Howl!?" The elder''s face instantly turned white, and he was filled with fear.


    "Argh¡­!" The elder tried his best to block the attack as the beast horde started to surround him, but most of the power of the Lightning Howl still landed on him.


    The azure-robed elder shook, and his face lost all color. He was heavily injured. Even worse, the beasts were now surrounding him. The auras of the fierce beasts touched the sky.


    "As expected, it works!" Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression. He was able to duplicate the opponent''s attack, but there would be nothing to gain from it if he just used it against the opponent''s attack. Therefore, Zhao Feng duplicated the elder''s attack but didn''t release it until now, only counterattacking at the right moment.


    However, duplicating the elder''s attack required a lot of energy. Zhao Feng''s left eye was faintly dim, and it was probably unable to duplicate any more attacks for now.


    "Zhao Feng, what do you want?" The elder in azure had a deadly and poisonous expression as he looked at Zhao Feng, who was slowly approaching.


    "Senior, help us!" On the side, the chattering voices of the two Fire Winged Race prodigies sounded.


    Zhao Feng gave an emotionless glance toward them, and with just a thought, several dozen beasts leapt over. Cries sounded as the smell of blood started to spread.


    Heaven and Earth returned to normal after a while.


    "What do you want¡­? Did you just want me to see that?" The elder in azure had an extremely ugly expression.


    "Hand over your interspatial dimension, and I might let you live!"


    The cold voice made the azure-robed elder''s heart turn cold. He didn''t think that a junior at the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm would threaten him like this.


    At the same time, he didn''t understand why Zhao Feng didn''t just take his interspatial dimension after killing him. Was Zhao Feng really planning to let him off? The elder in azure didn''t believe it, but all he could do right now was act the way Zhao Feng wanted. Only then would there be a slight chance of hope.


    The elder in azure took out a silver bracelet unwillingly, but right at this moment, several dozen beasts that specialized in soul attacks and illusions attacked the elder in azure.


    "Gaze of the God Eye!" Zhao Feng circulated his extremely weak left eye, and a forbidden, irresistible force covered the elder''s soul.


    What he really wanted was the azure-robed elder''s battle-power. However, if Zhao Feng just came out and said that he wanted to enslave the elder directly to his face, the latter would definitely decline and might even choose to kill himself instead.


    "Not good¡­!" The elder in azure was heavily injured. He resisted for a short moment before his soul was sucked out by Zhao Feng.


    ¡­


    On the peak of a mountain, Zhao Feng took out a silver bracelet and put his consciousness inside. Zhao Feng was surprised by what he saw.


    "Old man, you managed to obtain such a treasure in the fire palace?"


    Zhao Feng took out several rare items. The first was a bull-shaped golden flaming horn. This was obviously the golden horn of a Golden-Horned Fire Rat, but the power of Metal and Fire contained within it was abnormally strong. It was obvious that the strength of this Golden Horned Fire Rat was extremely great.


    The second was a precious resource called the Golden Sun Blood Flame Flower. The herb itself was bright gold and red, and it radiated a faint heat. It was one of the best resources for those that cultivated the Dao of Metal. Apart from increasing one''s state of existence, it could also quickly recover one''s injuries, and it also helped one comprehend the Intents of Metal and Fire.


    The third item was some kind of unique flame from a certain ancient race. It gave off a dim and cold aura.


    "Hehehe, if Master wants them, you can take them all!" The elder in azure said with slight embarrassment.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng put the unique ancient flame back into the silver bracelet before throwing it into the Misty Spatial World.


    "Quickly recover back to the strength of a Rank Two True God!" Zhao Feng sent a message to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon within the Misty Spatial World.


    Although Zhao Feng had a lot of beasts, most of them weren''t very strong. The experts that had entered this dimension would slowly gather together in due time, and it was impossible for Zhao Feng to beat them alone. Thus, he needed very powerful minions. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was a good choice for that. All Zhao Feng needed to do was keep on giving it precious resources, and it would slowly recover its original strength.


    "Hmm? Zhao Wan''s become a Demigod!" Zhao Feng''s Intent moved.


    At this moment, Zhao Wan was still cultivating in the ice inheritance of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race''s territory. Zhao Wan had obtained most of the treasures in the inheritance, and his strength had increased rapidly.


    "The descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes are usually prodigies from peak four-star and five-star powers. Everyone else will be very surprised when Zhao Wan appears in front of them!" Zhao Feng smiled faintly. He had heard this from Wei Ke.


    Zhao Wan, who was now a Demigod, had the battle-power of a normal Rank Two True God.


    "I need to increase my strength as well!" Zhao Feng revealed a decisive look. Now that he had obtained two more Metal-elemental treasures, he could raise his Metal of Wind Lightning to the late stages.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng put the Golden Sun Blood Flame Flower and the golden horn into the dimension of his left eye. He obviously had to duplicate them before using them.


    Another Metal-elemental cultivation resource appeared before Zhao Feng. It was a set of sparkling golden bones. These bones were obtained in the Divine Illusion Dimension.


    "The bones of a Rank Three True God!" Zhao Feng was finally able to tell the cultivation of the bones'' owner when the expert was alive.


    Weng! Weng!


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique to absorb the power of Metal from these golden bones. This expert had died a very long time ago, and the power of Metal within the bones was very peaceful, so Zhao Feng could absorb it very easily.


    Three days flashed by in an instant. Zhao Feng''s battle-power was rising rapidly, and so was the strength of the newly-enslaved azure-robed elder.


    Whoosh! Weng~~


    The mountain Zhao Feng was standing on instantly released countless bolts of lightning. Each bolt of lightning could severely injure normal Demigods.


    Hu~~


    The aura of this powerful Metal Lightning slowly concealed itself in Zhao Feng''s body, and Zhao Feng''s aura became stronger as well.


    "Late stages of the Metal of Wind Lightning. My strength has increased, and I''m not that far away from the peak stages of the Metal of Wind Lightning!"


    Joy flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes. Zhao Feng would break through to become a Demigod when his Metal of Wind Lightning reached the peak. At that moment, his strength would increase dramatically.

 1177 Phoenix Fores

    Chapter 1177 - Phoenix Forest


    "I''m not that far away from the peak stages of the Metal of Wind Lightning!"


    Joy flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes. Zhao Feng would break through to become a Demigod when his Metal of Wind Lightning reached the peak. At that time, the five elements of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique would combine into one. After the five elements turned into one, Zhao Feng would touch the divinity of True Gods, and he would be able to create his own Divine Power. Although the Lightning-Fire Obliteration was strong, its potential was limited and couldn''t catch up to Divine Power.


    In addition, now that Zhao Feng had gained deep understanding in the Five Elemental Wind Lightning technique, it was also beneficial to strengthening his Little World.


    "Someone''s there!" Zhao Feng suddenly noticed two figures pass through his territory. The two figures suddenly stopped in the air and started flying toward Zhao Feng''s direction.


    "They don''t have eye-bloodlines. How can they see me from so far away?" Zhao Feng was surprised. It was only because of his eye-bloodline and the fact that he had a hint of control over the Ancient Dream Realm that he could see these two in the distance.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of his left hand, Zhao Feng put the non-human bones away.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The duo soon arrived in front of Zhao Feng.


    "There''s no need to hide it. Take out what you just put in the interspatial dimension!"


    One of them was a youth in white with a cocky expression, and he snickered when he saw Zhao Feng. His ancestors had given him a tool before he entered the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension that could faintly sense treasures or resources that contained strong power. A moment ago, he sensed a treasure in this direction, so he came over to have a look and found Zhao Feng. He knew that the treasure was in Zhao Feng''s hands without even thinking.


    The other was a Rank Two True God elder. He stood next to the youth in white and closely inspected Zhao Feng. If they were in the outside world, this elder wouldn''t bother with a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm, but then, it was weird that a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm appeared in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes scanned across the duo. He couldn''t guess what race they were from by their appearance, but the youth''s eyes were sharp, and he had a steady aura within his body. His strength was probably higher than the elder''s.


    "It''s mine. Why should I take it out?" Zhao Feng had a calm expression and wasn''t scared at all. They were acting so cocky despite being in his territory? Once they took action, Zhao Feng would kill them immediately.


    "What I want shall be mine!" The youth in white paused for a moment before speaking in a forceful tone. He didn''t put a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm in his eyes. He originally thought that Zhao Feng would hand over the treasure and beg to join their party, but instead, Zhao Feng declined? This surprised him. However, what he wanted would become his either way.


    "Junior, hand over the treasure and fuck off!" The elder finally spoke with an impatient expression. No matter how suspicious Zhao Feng was, this elder was a Rank Two True God, and he had Young Master Hou Qing next to him. Would a peak-stage Mystic Light Realm even be able to fight back?


    "The two of you are courting death!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed dramatically, and killing intent flashed through his eyes. At the same time, an invisible physical force radiated from him. If these two really didn''t know what was good for them, then it wouldn''t be his fault for being merciless.


    "Hmm?" The elder''s eyebrows furrowed. Zhao Feng''s state of existence wasn''t normal and his aura was very strong, so the elder immediately sent a message, "Young Sir Hou Qing, this person is extremely weird!"


    "Hmph, this extremely weird person has precious treasures on him!" Hou Qing completely ignored the elder''s warning. Zhao Feng dared to look down on him and say that he was courting death? Hou Qing was going to make Zhao Feng wish he was dead.


    Weng~~~


    Hou Qing raised his palm and slapped down, unleashing a whirlpool of water.


    "You don''t know what''s good for you!" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as he raised his palm as well.


    Whoosh!


    The azure-robed elder instantly appeared next to Zhao Feng and released the force of a Rank Three True God. At the same time, several dozen powerful beasts around them released powerful pressures.


    "Kill!" Without saying anything else, the azure-robed elder unleashed two lightning monsters that charged forward.


    "Rank Three True God slave!" Hou Qing''s expression became grim while the elder started to panic. They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be so shameless that he would hide his slave. Furthermore, all the beasts that Zhao Feng had enslaved were hiding nearby as well.


    Weng~~~


    In order to make sure there were no accidents, Zhao Feng circulated the Sacred Lightning Body and charged toward Hou Qing.


    Before Zhao Feng even got close, Hou Qing felt a heavy pressure.


    "This person''s physical strength is so great¡­!" Hou Qing revealed a look of panic.


    His status in his family was very high, and his ancestors had given him all kinds of offensive and defensive skills before he came to the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. There would be no problem for him and the elder to deal with a Rank Three True God, but the strength that Zhao Feng displayed was also very high.


    Although Hou Qing was arrogant and cocky, it was because of his strength and hidden cards. It wasn''t as if he had no brains.


    "Go!" Hou Qing roared as he and the elder retreated at the same time.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng was filled with killing intent as he charged forward with the azure-robed elder.


    "Water Screen Massacre!" Hou Qing waved his palms, and the laws of Water and Wind in Heaven and Earth were transformed into a giant whirlpool. The whirlpool contained a suction force that pulled Zhao Feng and the azure-robed elder.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World!" Since he had the intent to kill, Zhao Feng wouldn''t hide any of his skills. He immediately used an illusion technique.


    Hou Qing and the elder were instantly affected by Zhao Feng''s illusion, and they just stood there as their souls entered a misty purple maze. Zhao Feng and the azure-robed elder charged toward the duo after breaking through the whirlpool.


    However, right at this moment, Hou Qing broke out from Zhao Feng''s illusion. He was drenched in cold sweat, and he looked at Zhao Feng in fright. He had a soul-defending treasure on him but was still affected by Zhao Feng''s illusion. From this, he could see how strong Zhao Feng''s illusions were.


    At this moment, the beasts around them also completely surrounded the duo.


    "Run!" Hou Qing didn''t bother with the elder next to him. He took out a jade slip and crushed it.


    Whoosh!


    The laws of Water and Wind surrounded his feet.


    Sou!


    Hou Qing disappeared into Heaven and Earth with incredible speed.


    "Kill him first!" Zhao Feng ordered before chasing after Hou Qing.


    Weng~~~


    A pair of crystalline white lightning wings condensed behind Zhao Feng''s back.


    "Lightning Radiance Flash!"


    Boom!


    With a deafening explosion, Zhao Feng turned into a bolt of lightning and instantly flashed forward several dozen thousand miles. The Ancient Dream Realm didn''t suppress Zhao Feng much, so his speed was greater than others''.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Hou Qing was still running away when he heard an explosion, and the appearance of a lightning bolt frightened him. Hou Qing''s expression changed dramatically when he scanned over with his Divine Sense.


    "How is this possible? That brat''s caught up! He''s still only at the Mystic Light Realm!?" Hou Qing was in shock. One had to know that the escaping method he was using was crafted specifically for him by his ancestors. Even Rank Four True Gods wouldn''t be able to catch up if they didn''t specialize in speed.


    Although he had many other methods, they were prepared for upcoming greater dangers. Using them on Zhao Feng would be a waste.


    Zhao Feng was also shocked. He didn''t expect that he couldn''t even catch up to a Quasi-God in the Ancient Dream Realm when he used his Lightning Radiance Flash.


    Shua!


    A golden bow appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. Zhao Feng merged the power of Lightning-Fire Obliteration into it and released a golden arrow toward Hou Qing with a Whoosh!


    "Dammit!" Hou Qing circulated the laws of Water and Wind and moved his body, but the arrow still shot through his shoulder.


    At this moment, three figures flew out from a forest below. The sudden disturbance of power in the sky caught the attention of nearby powerful races.


    "Isn''t that Hou Qing?" A handsome youth looked toward the distance.


    "Someone is actually chasing after Hou Qing?" The surprised voice of a female sounded.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Explosions sounded as a golden-haired male with a cold handsome face closed in on Hou Qing amidst a storm of lightning.


    "Die!" Hou Qing was enraged, and a blue crystal pearl appeared in his hand.


    Crack!


    The crystal pearl shattered, and a terrifying whirlpool of Water and Wind appeared in Heaven and Earth, killing a Rank Three True God.


    However, Zhao Feng''s left eye sensed this power long ago, and he had already retreated by the time Hou Qing took out the blue crystal pearl.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng dodged his technique, Hou Qing didn''t stay behind. At this point, he obviously wouldn''t keep fighting Zhao Feng.


    "He ran off!" Zhao Feng had an ugly expression.


    The opponent was pretty strong himself, and he had too many hidden cards. If Zhao Feng wanted to kill Hou Qing, he would need to take out some hidden cards of his own. However, there were a bunch of spectators now, so Zhao Feng didn''t want to do that.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother with the three in the forest and prepared to leave, but the three flew upward.


    "This friend is extremely skilled. You even managed to chase after Hou Qing!" a handsome youth said with a friendly expression.


    "I wonder what force you''re from. Even Hou Qing is scared of you?" A female in a pink dress smiled and spoke in an alluring voice.


    "Hou Qing?" Zhao Feng finally knew the name of that cocky youth.


    Hou Qing definitely wouldn''t be scared of Zhao Feng in a one-on-one fight, but Hou Qing knew that Zhao Feng had the help of a Rank Three True God and several dozen terrifying beasts, so he didn''t dare to stay behind and fight against Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    The azure-robed elder only arrived now and sent Zhao Feng a message after looking at the three next to Zhao Feng; "Master, these three are from the Golden Armed Race. The Golden Armed Race is a powerful existence amongst four-and-a-half-star forces, and they even have the possibility of becoming a peak four-star power!"


    "My name is Yu Hen, and we''re from a force that opposes the Sky Water Yao Race. Why not join us?" Yu Hen gave a glance toward the azure-robed elder and sent an invitation.


    A silent middle-aged male stood next to Yu Hen.


    "I''m sorry, but I have other stuff to do!" Zhao Feng declined right away. While the strength of the male and female might not be as great as Hou Qing, they were pretty strong, and the large middle-aged male next to them was a Rank Three True God. Why would a team like this invite Zhao Feng? Was it only because Zhao Feng tried to kill Hou Qing?


    "Are you planning to go to the Phoenix Forest? I heard that the Phoenix Forest is the Sky Water Yao Race''s main target!" the elegant female in pink said gently with a smile.


    The Sky Water Yao Race that the Golden Armed Race was speaking of referred to the race that Hou Qing was from, but Zhao Feng was more interested in the Phoenix Forest.


    Although Zhao Feng could enter and leave this place whenever he wished, his range of movement was still very small. The various forces from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had been scouting the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension for hundreds of millions of years. They all had maps and information regarding the fortune here. The Phoenix Forest was definitely one of the famous places.


    "If that''s the case, then I''ll come with you!" Zhao Feng didn''t decline. If he happened to meet Hou Qing in the Phoenix Forest, he would also find a chance to kill him.

 1178 Meeting the Blue Scaled Race Again

    Chapter 1178 - Meeting the Blue Scaled Race Again


    "Hou Qing is a descendant of the Sky Water Yao Race''s First Elder. He is extremely cocky, but his talent and strength aren''t bad." Seeing that Zhao Feng didn''t know anything about Hou Qing, Yu Hen started to tell him some stuff.


    "His strength and talent are indeed not bad!" Zhao Feng nodded his head.


    Hou Qing''s strength was on par with Zhao Feng''s before the latter had broken through to the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm. One had to know that Zhao Feng had the Ancient Dream Realm and the God''s Spiritual Eye. Although Hou Qing was a disciple of a peak four-star power and had plenty of resources as well, such an achievement surpassed all the other geniuses Zhao Feng had met in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods so far.


    "Brother Zhao, you didn''t even use your bloodline power, but you still managed to scare Hou Qing away. Looks like Brother Zhao''s strength is not simple!" Yu Hen gave a deep glance toward Zhao Feng and praised. However, he guessed in his heart that, the real reason why Hou Qing ran was because Zhao Feng had the help of a Rank Three True God while Hou Qing was alone.


    "My bloodline is extremely normal, so it''s not of much use!" Zhao Feng said. Yu Hen was trying to find out what force Zhao Feng was from, and Zhao Feng''s reply meant that he didn''t have an ancient bloodline.


    "It''s admirable that Brother Zhao managed to cultivate to such a level with a normal bloodline!" Yu Hen smiled faintly. He originally thought that Zhao Feng only dared to chase after Hou Qing because he was from a big power. At this moment though, Zhao Feng admitted that he didn''t have an ancient bloodline.


    What Zhao Feng said caught the attention of the tall female and the middle-aged male from the Golden-Armed Race. They circulated their bloodline power and confirmed that Zhao Feng indeed didn''t have any ancient bloodline power.


    Zhao Feng''s expression paused for a moment as he looked at Yu Hen. This group''s attitude was too friendly. Maybe Zhao Feng just felt it was weird because he had always received a cold shoulder ever since he arrived in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    On the way, Zhao Feng learned that Phoenix Forest was in the territory of the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race. The Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race was one of the four prettiest races, and they were ranked 1258th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    Only forces that were also extremely strong, such as peak four-star powers or near-peak four-star powers like the Sky Water Yao Race and the Golden-Armed Race, dared to enter the forest. Of course, some members of the smaller forces would also try to sneak in. After all, any fortune from such a special place would be worth as much as what they would have obtained in another place over several dozen days.


    Phoenix Forest was extremely far away, and the group would need close to a month''s time even if they flew at full speed.


    This should be the edge of the central region of the Ancient Dream Realm! Zhao Feng murmured in his heart. He hadn''t scouted the Ancient Dream Realm much, and he was only operating in the territory of the races ranked in the five to six thousands before this. However, he was now heading to the territory of the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race, which was ranked in the one thousands.


    The strength of these Quasi-Gods and True Gods is extremely high. They will be a terrifying force if they team up! Zhao Feng had a solemn expression. Zhao Feng''s beast horde wouldn''t be a match for any single race that managed to gather together.


    However, Zhao Feng didn''t have any intention of fighting against them head-on. Since these experts were planning to go and conquer places with inheritances, he could tag along and obtain some benefits as well. This was why Zhao Feng decided to come with the Golden-Armed Race to come here.


    Zhao Feng had the advantage in terms of senses and speed in the Ancient Dream Realm. He also had plenty of life-saving techniques.


    "This is Phoenix Forest!" The Golden-Armed Race trio revealed overjoyed expressions.


    Countless large vines and trees could be seen in the distance. These plants intertwined with each other and blocked out half the sky.


    Before they got close, the group could feel a strong surge of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi with a refreshing sensation. One deep breath made their bodies feel extremely comfortable.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A group of four flew past them. The leader radiated a terrifying aura of Fire, and his cultivation had reached the level of a Rank Three True God.


    "So many strong groups!" Zhao Feng exclaimed. He could see great distances, and he saw groups approaching Phoenix Forest from every direction. From the looks of it, this place was extremely famous.


    "Phoenix Forest is where the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race keep their dead. All sorts of rare and ancient resources can be found here. The further one goes in, the more precious the resources. The center of Phoenix Forest contains limitless fortune. If one is lucky, they can even obtain the tail feathers of powerful Phoenix-Tailed Birds."


    "Tail feathers of Phoenix-Tailed Birds?" Zhao Feng revealed a surprised expression.


    "That''s right. The Phoenix-Tailed Birds have a certain relationship with the legendary phoenixes. Their tail feathers are extremely rare. They aren''t materials either; they might even contain the Origin of Fire from that Phoenix-Tailed Bird!" Yu Hen said as he led the group toward Phoenix Forest.


    When they got close, the sound of battle could be heard within Phoenix Forest. Zhao Feng saw through the outer region of Phoenix Forest and noticed a group of three people fighting against a Rank Three True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird.


    The Phoenix-Tailed Bird''s body was small, but its tail was longer than its body, and different colored flames burned throughout its tail.


    Hu~~ Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Phoenix-Tailed Bird spat out countless wisps of fire that formed into a multi-colored net of fire, which fought against the three experts.


    "What control!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but exclaim. His eyes saw through Phoenix Forest, and he could clearly see this battle. The Phoenix-Tailed Bird''s control over the unique fire in its body was extremely precise; it was able to merge all of its fire into strings. One could imagine what would happen if these strings wrapped around them.


    Maybe it was because their control over fire was so precise that they lived in a forest instead of a fire-attributed area.


    Zhao Feng was absorbed in watching the Phoenix-Tailed Bird''s fight when he suddenly heard a voice that made him feel disgusted from not far away.


    "Big brother, it''s that brat Zhao Feng!" Hu Cheng''s expression was filled with joy when he saw Zhao Feng fly over.


    Back then, he and his brother discovered Zhao Feng, but the latter had managed to escape due to the beast horde. He didn''t think that he would see Zhao Feng again since the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension was so enormous. From the looks of it, enemies were bound to meet.


    "Oh? This time, I''ll kill him!" Hu Cheng''s gaze moved away from Phoenix Forest and turned toward Zhao Feng.


    "Hmm? There''s five people!" Hu Cheng''s expression changed slightly. This time, there were four other people next to Zhao Feng. Although he couldn''t tell what their bloodlines were, their auras were not simple. However, there were more people from the Blue Scaled Race next to Hu Sang; they had a total of eight people.


    "Brother Zhao!" Wei Ke revealed a happy expression when he saw Zhao Feng. He could finally relax after seeing that Zhao Feng was fine despite encountering the terrifying beast horde.


    On the other hand, Ma Lingshi was slightly worried. Now that they had met Zhao Feng again, Hu Cheng definitely wouldn''t let go of Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Hu Cheng and Hu Sang immediately flew over and blocked the path of Zhao Feng and Yu Hen. The others from the Blue Scaled Race also saw their actions.


    "Everyone, this person has a feud with the Blue Scaled Race. Leave him here!" Hu Sang had a normal expression as he spoke in a forceful tone and pointed at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn''t have an ancient bloodline while the others all had ancient bloodlines. This meant that they didn''t come from the same race. Hu Sang believed that the other three wouldn''t dare to offend the eight from the Blue Scaled Race just for Zhao Feng.


    "He is my friend," Yu Hen looked at the two in front and said emotionlessly.


    The tall female had a faint smile as she saw what was happening, but she didn''t speak. The other big male had been silent the entire way, and so had the azure-robed elder.


    "He offended us!" Hu Sang revealed a deadly expression.


    Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi stared at Hu Sang and Hu Cheng with enraged eyes but didn''t dare to say anything. Of the eight from the Blue Scaled Race present, apart from the Hu brothers, one of them was the strongest Quasi-God of the Blue Scaled Race ¨C Quasi-God Lan Ye. The other three True Gods were all biased toward Hu Sang and Quasi-God Lan Ye, so they wouldn''t even bother with Wei Kei and Ma Lingshi.


    Three elders of the Blue Scaled Race shook their heads and approached; "Everyone, there''s no need to make us all unhappy over a peak Mystic Light Realm!"


    Although these three elders'' tones weren''t as forceful as Hu Sang''s, they contained a faint threatening tone. If Yu Hen and company didn''t hand over Zhao Feng, they would be offending the eight from the Blue Scaled Race.


    Zhao Feng''s eyebrows furrowed as coldness flashed through his eyes. Of the eight Blue Scaled Race members in front of him, apart from the four that he already knew, one was a youth and three were elders. Of the three elders, two of them were Rank Three True Gods. If Zhao Feng wanted to run though, they wouldn''t be able to catch up.


    However, the main point was that Zhao Feng had spent a long time to reach Phoenix Forest. He couldn''t just leave without obtaining anything.


    "Are you threatening the Golden-Armed Race?" Yu Hen''s handsome face instantly turned cold as a sharp glint of light flashed through his eyes.


    Weng!


    Golden lines appeared on his right fist. His entire arm then started to flash with a golden light, and a physical pressure was released that could make one find it hard to breathe.


    "Golden-Armed Race!" The expressions of the three elders, Hu Cheng, and Hu Sang changed as they each squeezed out a smile. "I didn''t think that all of you would be Quasi-God prodigies from the Golden-Armed Race. I was blind!"


    The Golden-Armed Race was one of the strongest four-and-a-half-star powers, and they had great hopes of becoming a peak four-star power. It wasn''t a force that a normal four-and-a-half-star force like the Blue Scaled Race could be compared to.


    "All of this was an accident. We mistook him for a different person!" Hu Cheng had an ugly expression. This was the only thing he could say. If the Golden-Armed Race really wanted to protect Zhao Feng, there was nothing the Blue Scaled Race could do.


    On the side, a wisp of battle-intent flashed through Quasi-God Lan Ye''s cold eyes.


    Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi were surprised. They didn''t expect the relationship between Zhao Feng and the Golden-Armed Race to be so good.


    The experts of the other groups also started to pay attention to this area. Most of their gazes focused on the Golden-Armed Race trio.


    "I didn''t think that Phoenix Forest would also be one of the Golden-Armed Race''s targets this time!"


    "They only have a few people. They won''t be a match for the bigger forces in Phoenix Forest!"


    The nearby groups that had gathered around weren''t very strong, so they hadn''t taken any action yet.


    "If you''ve mistaken my friend for someone else, apologize to my friend!" Yu Hen''s expression remained the same as he said coldly.


    "What?" Hu Cheng and Hu Sang obviously didn''t want to do so. There were so many other people watching. They were the ones that wanted to cause trouble, but in the end, they had to apologize?


    "Quickly apologize! There are a lot of people here. We can''t be enemies with the Golden-Armed Race!" a Rank Three True God elder of the Blue Scaled Race messaged the Hu brothers.


    "Sorry, we mistook you for someone else!" The Hu brothers lowered their heads and spoke in a deeply unwilling tone.


    "Let''s go!" The coldness in Zhao Feng''s eyes faded away. The two brothers couldn''t do anything to him due to the Golden-Armed Race, but Zhao Feng couldn''t kill them because of the Blue Scaled Race.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Golden-Armed Race trio and Zhao Feng left toward Phoenix Forest.


    "Fuck, the Golden-Armed Race hasn''t even become a peak four-star power yet and they''re already acting so cocky!" Hu Sang cursed in a low tone with a bright red face.


    "There are too many people here. We can''t form a bad relationship with the Golden-Armed Race, at least on the surface!" an elder said in a low tone.


    They were both four-and-a-half-star forces, but the Blue Scaled Race had to acquiesce. Anyone would feel unhappy.


    "Let''s go in as well!" the elder said.


    Hu Sang and Hu Cheng looked at each other. They understood what the elder meant and couldn''t help but reveal cold smiles.

 1179 Phoenix Nes

    Chapter 1179 - Phoenix Nest


    The group soon approached Phoenix Forest. Every plant that made up Phoenix Forest was extremely precious. They were also extremely tough and hard to destroy.


    "Thank you for that, Brother Yu!" Zhao Feng said with a faint smile.


    The Golden-Armed Race trio and Zhao Feng only met recently. The relationship between them wasn''t very strong, but the trio was willing to help Zhao Feng get rid of this trouble. This was something that Zhao Feng hadn''t expected.


    "There''s no need to be respectful. Only us three from the Golden-Armed Race have come to Phoenix Forest. We will need Brother Zhao''s and this senior''s help!" Yu Hen said with a faint smile as his eyes scanned over Zhao Feng and the azure-robed elder.


    The azure-robed elder hadn''t said anything through the whole situation, but no one was suspicious because the tall male from the Golden-Armed Race also never spoke.


    Now that they were in Phoenix Forest, they could hear the sounds of battle more clearly.


    "Look, there''s a phoenix nest there!" Yu Hen looked in a certain direction and said with excitement.


    Trees and vines formed a ball that gave off a faintly hot and pleasant smell in the distance not far away.


    "Phoenix nest?" Zhao Feng was slightly puzzled. Weren''t phoenix nests extremely rare, and didn''t they contain the most fortune in Phoenix Forest? How could they meet one so easily?


    "This is just a small phoenix nest in the outer regions, and it''s the land of rest for many Phoenix-Tailed Birds. The very center of Phoenix Forest has an enormous phoenix nest, and the Phoenix-Tailed Birds that lay within it are the most beautiful. That is where the biggest fortune is!" The girl in pink seemed to know what Zhao Feng was puzzled about and slowly explained for him.


    "Human, go die!" Right as they were chatting, the Phoenix-Tailed Bird flew out and spat out several multi-colored flames.


    "Let me do it!" Yu Hen roared as his body started to burn with a terrifying bloodline power, and a surge of golden light surrounded his right arm.


    This Phoenix-Tailed Bird only had the strength of a Rank Two True God. Yu Hen could handle it alone, and Zhao Feng would be able to see the strength of a genius from the Golden-Armed Race.


    Weng~~


    A golden layer appeared on Yu Hen''s right arm. It seemed to be forged from bronze and iron, and it looked like it contained immense power.


    "Golden Kill Punch!" Yu Hen raised his arm and punched out with a fierce golden fist.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Seeing that the opponent''s strength was so great, the Phoenix-Tailed Bird didn''t dare to take it easy. It spat out more multi-colored flames from its mouth. These flames then formed into a multi-colored net and covered Yu Hen''s attack.


    Boom! Weng~~


    Yu Hen''s golden circle of light charged through the flaming net, but its power was weakened until it finally landed on the vines in the back. However, what Zhao Feng didn''t expect was that Yu Hen''s weakened golden punch didn''t cause much damage to the wood and vines in Phoenix Forest.


    Whoosh!


    The Phoenix-Tailed Bird was extremely fast, and it left countless rainbow-colored flames in its wake as it circled toward Yu Hen and prepared to chop him up into pieces.


    "Golden Ripple Blade!" Yu Hen changed his offensive style; his right hand straightened into a knife-like shape that slashed out with countless golden ripples.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The Phoenix-Tailed Bird with the strength of a Rank Two True God was unable to even harm Yu Hen, so it immediately ran away.


    "Let''s go to the phoenix nest!" Yu Hen didn''t chase after the Phoenix-Tailed Bird. After all, Phoenix-Tailed Birds specialized in speed, and they were like fish in water in Phoenix Forest. This was why the Phoenix-Tailed Bird didn''t just leave immediately even though there were so many intruders.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Everyone arrived at the spot where the Phoenix-Tailed Bird was a moment ago.


    "This is Nine Pore Blood Qi Grass, Purple Heart Golden Flower¡­" Zhao Feng found many precious resources from his first glance alone. They were like a rainbow scattered across the phoenix nest.


    "Phoenix-Tailed Birds like to collect and decorate their nests with precious and colorful materials, and they''re very competitive. The effects of herbs in a Phoenix-Tailed Bird''s nest are even stronger than normal!" Yu Hen said with a smile and took away all the resources in this phoenix nest.


    Yu Hen was the one that had defeated the Phoenix-Tailed Bird. Besides, this phoenix nest was in the outer regions, so the resources in it weren''t very precious. Thus, no one minded.


    "Phoenix Forest is extremely unique!" Zhao Feng felt that the world was extremely big and that everyone was different. Each race had their own beliefs and routines. The place where the Phoenix-Tailed Birds stayed contained many precious resources, and cultivating here was easier than other places. This was why Phoenix Forest attracted so many experts.


    Everyone flew toward the inner regions and soon found another phoenix nest. This phoenix nest contained two Phoenix-Tailed Birds that both had the strength of a Rank Two True God.


    There was nothing to be said when the two sides met. They immediately clashed. This time, it was the female and the azure-robed elder that took action.


    Weng~


    The azure-robed elder was extremely strong, and he instantly suppressed the opposing Phoenix-Tailed Bird.


    "A cultivator of the Dao of Lightning¡­ very strong!" Yu Hen and the tall male gave a few more glances toward the azure-robed elder.


    The two Phoenix-Tailed Birds escaped with injuries. Since the azure-robed elder had done more work, he received 60% of the resources.


    "So many phoenix nests!" Zhao Feng looked forward.


    The closer they got to the center, the more phoenix nests there were. Each phoenix nest contained at least two strong Phoenix-Tailed Birds.


    "Sacred Lightning Dominating Body!" This time, Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and charged out. Alongside him was the azure-robed elder and the female.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Countless slices of fire swept toward them from the front. Although the fire was extremely thin, the power contained within was not to be underestimated.


    "God Destroying Finger!" Zhao Feng''s fingers quickly waved through the sky as he circulated the Metal of Wind Lightning. Countless golden lights shot out and cut through the lines of fire.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The penetrating golden lines were extremely strong, and they even left countless scorch marks behind on the tough trees.


    "Let''s go, these humans are very strong!" Every time the Phoenix-Tailed Birds weren''t a match for their opponents, they would retreat.


    "Brother Zhao, good strength!" Yu Hen said with a smile, and the tall male also gave a deep look toward Zhao Feng. Although Zhao Feng''s strength didn''t stand out too much, it was rather shocking that he was so strong while only being at the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm.


    "This is a Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower!" The female''s eyes locked onto a certain herb, and she exclaimed when they arrived at the phoenix nest.


    The Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower was apparently a precious resource for those that cultivated the Dao of Water. The lines on it were a symbol of the laws. It could be directly merged into a Sacred Power Whirlpool, stabilizing it and creating a stronger foundation when breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm in the future. Apparently, it also helped Demigods break through to higher ranks, and it was very useful to cultivators that cultivated the Dao of Ice and Water in general.


    Although this Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower didn''t have many lines on it, it was a very rare treasure.


    "I''ll give this herb to Brother Zhao and this senior!" Yu Hen said after the Golden-Armed Race trio talked with each another.


    "Then I shall be taking it!" Zhao Feng had wanted this Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower in the first place, which is why he directed them to this phoenix nest.


    Zhao Feng cultivated all five elements, so the Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower was useful to him. Furthermore, the Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower could also get those people trailing behind them to come out.


    "Wait up!"


    As expected, exclamations sounded from behind.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several figures appeared before their group. They were from the Blue Scaled Race.


    The Golden-Armed Race trio had ugly expressions. They didn''t expect that the Blue Scaled Race group would follow them.


    "Brother Zhao, the Blue Scaled Race wants to kill you! Find a chance and run away!" Wei Ke''s soul message suddenly sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind. Zhao Feng paused for a moment before immediately revealing a smile, and he didn''t take it to heart.


    "What''s the meaning of you following us!?" Yu Hen questioned with a grim expression.


    "We just coincidentally passed by!" a Rank Three True God from the Blue Scaled Race said.


    There were no other forces nearby, and the Blue Scaled Race had eight people while the Golden-Armed Race''s group had five. Did they still need to be respectful to the Golden-Armed Race?


    "The Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower is most suitable for those that cultivate the Dao of Water. I hope that the Golden-Armed Race can give this precious resource to us!" a Rank Two True God said.


    Yu Hen and the female had ugly expressions. If they fought head-on, they would be the ones at a disadvantage. Was it really worth it to fight over a single Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower?


    "This treasure is Brother Zhao''s. If Brother Zhao doesn''t mind, there''s nothing wrong with giving it to you, but if Brother Zhao doesn''t agree, then don''t force us!" Yu Hen wasn''t as forceful as when they were outside Phoenix Forest and left the decision to Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, hand it over!" Hu Sang revealed a deadly smile.


    "Hand over the Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower. You don''t have any right to it!" Quasi-God Lan Ye walked out. He had a cold expression and spoke directly. Quasi-God Lan Ye was the strongest Demigod in the Blue Scaled Race, so one didn''t need to explain the value of the Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower to him.


    The Blue Scaled Race was originally planning to just ambush the Golden-Armed Race''s group. They weren''t aiming to kill the Golden-Armed Race; all they wanted to do was kill Zhao Feng and scare the Golden-Armed Race away. However, their first priority now was the Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower and then killing Zhao Feng.


    "Then what right do you have?" Zhao Feng had a calm expression and showed no signs of panic.


    "Measly ant, you wouldn''t be able to block even one move against me!" Quasi-God Lan Ye said with a cocky attitude and looked at Zhao Feng in disdain. A peak Mystic Light Realm dared to talk about rights with him? Zhao Feng really didn''t know how tall Heaven or how deep the Earth were.


    "If you''re so confident in yourself, then let''s make a bet. You can attack me three times. If I can''t block them all, then this Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower is yours!" Zhao Feng smiled and said as a golden-blue flower with profound laws appeared in his hands.


    Quasi-God Lan Ye just said that Zhao Feng couldn''t block even one move of his. Now, Zhao Feng was making a bet with Quasi-God Lan Ye, giving him three moves. Quasi-God Lan Ye couldn''t reject such an offer.


    The Golden-Armed Race trio paused. They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to say such a thing, but they were confident in Zhao Feng.


    No one from the Blue Scaled Race furrowed their eyebrows. They didn''t think that Zhao Feng would be able to take three blows from Quasi-God Lan Ye. Under normal situations, Quasi-God Lan Ye would be able to kill a bunch of peak Mystic Light Realms with just one casual move. However, Zhao Feng was not normal, and since he was the one to make this suggestion, it meant that he was confident in himself.


    "The Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower shall be mine after three moves!" Quasi-God Lan Ye''s eyebrows rose for a moment before he spoke in a confident tone. He had already witnessed Zhao Feng''s strength since they had been following him for some time. He was indeed strong and was probably on par with a normal Rank Two True God, but Quasi-God Lan Ye had killed a Rank Two True God before.


    There was no reason for Quasi-God Lan Ye to not agree to Zhao Feng''s challenge. He was confident that he could heavily injure Zhao Feng in three moves. After obtaining the Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower, he might even have the chance to directly kill Zhao Feng and use that to scare the Golden-Armed Race trio that was all cocky in front of him.


    "If I can block three moves from you, shouldn''t you offer something as well? I believe that someone like Quasi-God Lan Ye has some good treasures!" Zhao Feng revealed a smile.


    Quasi-God Lan Ye paused for a moment. Did Zhao Feng really think he could block three moves?


    "Hmph, I''ll use this Metal God Crystal as the bet!" Quasi-God Lan Ye flipped his hand, and a sparking golden crystal pearl appeared in his hand. He had been following the Golden-Armed Race trio, so Quasi-God Lan Ye knew that Zhao Feng specialized in the laws of Metal. Now that he had taken out this Metal God Crystal, Zhao Feng shouldn''t have any more nonsense to say.

 1180 Three Moves

    Chapter 1180 - Three Moves


    The groups from the Blue Scaled Race and Golden-Armed Race moved back several dozen miles.


    Those from the Golden-Armed Race thought well of Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had even managed to chase after Hou Qing. Although it might have been due to the azure-robed elder''s help, Zhao Feng''s own strength was definitely not as simple as it seemed.


    The Blue Scaled Race members were obviously very confident in themselves. One had to know that Quasi-God Lan Ye had the record of killing a Rank Two True God before. How could a measly peak Mystic Light Realm block three moves from Quasi-God Lan Ye?


    However, what the Blue Scaled Race didn''t know was that Zhao Feng had also killed a Rank Two True God before, and it was the extremely power True God Guili who cultivated the Dao of Ghosts.


    "There''s still time for you to reconsider. If you kneel on the ground and give the Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower to me, the Blue Scaled Race won''t kill you!" Quasi-God Lan Ye looked down from above with an arrogant expression. To him, fighting against a peak Mystic Light Realm was a humiliation.


    "If the Blue Scaled Race could kill me, they would have long ago!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile. He was obviously looking down on the Blue Scaled Race. They had met twice, but they hadn''t managed to kill him either time.


    "You don''t know what''s good for you, do you!?" Quasi-God Lan Ye''s eyes were cold. Zhao Feng''s attitude made him unhappy. He was going to crush Zhao Feng under his feet in order to release the anger in his heart.


    "Green Wave Palm!" A ripple of green water surged around Quasi-God Lan Ye and merged into his right palm.


    Boom!


    A wave containing limitless power shot out from this palm. The palm seemed to contain an ancient figure. While this palm seemed casual, it contained a wisp of Quasi-God Lan Ye''s bloodline power because he wanted to utterly crush Zhao Feng as much as possible without using a hidden card.


    "Earth Lightning Sacred Armor!" Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Sacred Lightning Body and the Earth of Wind Lightning to form a sparkling dark yellow armor of lightning around himself.


    Boom! Weng~~~


    Zhao Feng''s Earth Lightning Sacred Armor shattered after a moment, and Quasi-God Lan Ye''s palm landed on Zhao Feng''s chest.


    Deng! Deng! Deng!


    Zhao Feng retreated three steps and stabilized his figure. His face was pale-white.


    "Your luck isn''t bad. You actually managed to take that palm!" Quasi-God Lan Ye''s eyes were calm.


    "Looks like Zhao Feng will definitely lose!"


    "Quasi-God Lan Ye''s palm was just a test!"


    The three elders of the Blue Scaled Race talked to each another as pride and smugness radiated from them.


    The Golden-Armed Race trio had grim gazes. From the looks of it, Zhao Feng wasn''t having it easy.


    "He''s hiding his strength!" At this moment, the tall male from the Golden-Armed Race sent a message to the other two.


    "So that''s how it is!" Yu Hen nodded his head. Based on Zhao Feng''s display before, he should''ve been able to block that palm, but Zhao Feng purposely pretended he couldn''t.


    "The second move!" Quasi-God Lan Ye said with a proud expression.


    Hu!


    Quasi-God Lan Ye waved his hand, and limitless laws of water were grabbed by him. After understanding Zhao Feng''s strength, Quasi-God Lan Ye was sure that he could defeat Zhao Feng with this move.


    Boom!


    Quasi-God Lan Ye instantly activated the bloodline of the Blue Scaled Race. The blue scales on his body became more distinct, and his skin became darker like the color of the ocean.


    "Lose!" Quasi-God Lan Ye immediately attacked, unleashing a terrifying palm of water that howled toward Zhao Feng.


    "Earth Lightning Sacred Armor, Sacred Lightning Protection!" Zhao Feng instantly revealed an expression as if he was giving it his all. He used two defensive techniques and unleashed more power from his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Boom! Peng!


    The palm clashed with the defense. After interacting for a while, Zhao Feng''s defense was shattered, and the remaining power slammed into Zhao Feng''s body.


    Deng! Deng!


    This time, Zhao Feng retreated four steps, and his expression became uglier like he had reached his limit.


    "Hmm? You blocked it?" Quasi-God Lan Ye was surprised. Zhao Feng only barely managed to block the first move, but the power of his second move was at least double that of before. Zhao Feng still blocked it?


    It wasn''t just Quasi-God Lan Ye that was surprised; the three elders and the Hu brothers were also extremely surprised. They could sense the difference between the moves, but Zhao Feng barely managed to block them both.


    "He estimated the strength of Quasi-God Lan Ye''s attacks, so he can ''barely'' manage to block them every time!" The tall male from the Golden-Armed Race messaged the other two.


    "Zhao Feng has such a skill?" Yu Hen was shocked.


    The only explanation as to why Zhao Feng could perfectly block both attacks of differing power was because he had accurately calculated the attacking power of Quasi-God Lan Ye''s moves both times. If Zhao Feng showed strong battle-power from the start, then Quasi-God Lan Ye would use his full strength and hidden cards as well, making it harder to block.


    "What good planning!" The girl in pink smiled.


    "You shall lose with the third move!" Quasi-God Lan Ye''s eyebrows furrowed. The brat in front of him was slightly weird. He actually managed to block two moves in a row.


    Weng~~


    The bloodline power coming from Quasi-God Lan Ye became even stronger as the nearby waves and Intent started to rise. Everyone knew that Quasi-God Lan Ye was going to use a divine technique now.


    "Lan Ye, that brat is calculating the power of your attacks. He''s only acting like he''s injured. Don''t be fooled by him. Use an ultimate move right away!" Right at this moment, a Rank Three True God from the Blue Scaled Race sent a message to Quasi-God Lan Ye.


    "What?" An explosion sounded in Quasi-God Lan Ye''s mind. Although he couldn''t believe that, when he thought about it, it must''ve been true.


    This was what was meant by "Those that are involved can''t see the situation well while those watching could see everything clearly." Quasi-God Lan Ye was far more talented than the elders, but he couldn''t tell what was happening.


    However, Quasi-God Lan Ye didn''t make any rash moves after learning this. He acted as if he was still going to use a regular divine technique.


    "Green Ripple Palm!" Quasi-God Lan Ye thrust out his palm, but immediately afterward, a faint blue long sword appeared in his hands and rippled with a cold flow of water.


    "Slash!" Quasi-God Lan Ye instantly circulated his bloodline Divine Power when he took out the divine weapon and slashed out. No one could react in time.


    "Shameless!" Yu Hen revealed a disdainful expression. The prodigy of the Blue Scaled Race who had the strength of a peak Rank Two True God had to use such a shameless technique against a peak Mystic Light Realm.


    "Hehehe!" The three elders from the Blue Scaled Race revealed faint smiles. They didn''t think that Quasi-God Lan Ye would use an ultimate move at the last moment. Zhao Feng might very likely be killed by Quasi-God Lan Ye.


    All their attention was drawn to Quasi-God Lan Ye.


    Weng~~ Whoosh!


    The dark blue sword-light slashed toward Zhao Feng with limitless cold water. However, everyone was surprised to find a long black sword in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    Weng~ Weng!


    Lightning-Fire Obliteration poured into the long black sword as the green lines on it started to glow.


    Whoosh! Shua!


    Zhao Feng slashed out a scarlet-golden light after activating his Sacred Lightning Body.


    Boom!


    Two terrifying sword moves clashed, unleashing a wave of power in every direction. Two nearby giant trees were instantly cut apart.


    Weng~ Boom!


    A faint scarlet-golden light sped toward Quasi-God Lan Ye amidst the storm of destruction.


    "You¡­ how is this possible!?" Quasi-God Lan Ye was in shock and disbelief as he was pushed back several steps by Zhao Feng''s sword blow. Blood leaked out from his mouth.


    Quasi-God Lan Ye touched the injuries on his body in a daze. He had been injured by a peak Mystic Light Realm!


    "You dare to injure me!?" Quasi-God Lan Ye''s bloodline power started to burn as a terrifying ancient pressure crushed forward.


    "What? The geniuses of the Blue Scaled Race don''t keep their word?" Yu Hen activated his Golden-Armed Race bloodline and stood next to Zhao Feng. Even he hadn''t thought that Zhao Feng had hidden himself so deeply. Yu Hen finally realized that, when Quasi-God Lan Ye was preparing for the third move, Zhao Feng had already taken out his full strength as well, so he wasn''t scared by Quasi-God Lan Ye''s sudden change of attack.


    What surprised him even more was that both parties had used a divine weapon to unleash their attacks, but Zhao Feng''s attack had the advantage. Although Quasi-God Lan Ye hadn''t made enough preparations, Quasi-God Lan Ye''s Divine Power was obviously stronger than Zhao Feng''s. This meant that the quality of Zhao Feng''s divine weapon was better than Quasi-God Lan Ye''s.


    "Lan Ye, stop!" At this moment, the three elders from the Blue Scaled Race called out. They were all enraged and unwilling as well, but they weren''t confident that they could kill all five in front of them. Once the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods learned that the Blue Scaled Race had attacked the opposing party after losing a bet, even if they managed to kill Zhao Feng in the end, the Blue Scaled Race would lose a lot of reputation and trust.


    If they could kill the five in front of them, the three elders wouldn''t stop Quasi-God Lan Ye. However, the fight between Quasi-God Lan Ye and Zhao Feng seemed to attract other experts in Phoenix Forest.


    "Zhao Feng, I ¨C Quasi-God Lan Ye ¨C will remember you!" Quasi-God Lan Ye suppressed the anger in his heart as his expression calmed down, but the cold killing intent in his eyes became stronger.


    Whoosh!


    A golden crystal pearl flew toward Zhao Feng as the Blue Scaled Race''s group departed.


    "It is indeed a Metal God Crystal!" Zhao Feng looked at the sparkling golden crystal pearl in his hand and put it into his interspatial dimension.


    Clap! Clap!


    Clapping sounded right after the Blue Scaled Race''s group left.


    "Brother Yu Hen, what force is this genius from? Quickly introduce him to me!" A figure in black descended.


    "Quasi-God Jian Feng!" Yu Hen''s gaze focused as he looked at this casual figure.


    "I met Brother Zhao along the way. He was chasing after Hou Qing, and we decided to join forces¡­." Yu Hen started to introduce Zhao Feng, but he realized that he didn''t actually know that much about Zhao Feng, so he could only say a few sentences.


    Seeing that Yu Hen treated this person so solemnly, Zhao Feng knew that the opposing party''s strength must be extremely great, so Zhao Feng inspected him closely.


    "Chasing after Hou Qing?" Quasi-God Jian Feng paused for a moment as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    Quasi-God Jian Feng was from the Sky Haze Race, which was a peak four-star power like the Sky Water Yao Race. Hou Qing''s name wasn''t simple. It wasn''t much if Zhao Feng managed to defeat Quasi-God Lan Ye, but it was completely different if he dared to chase after Hou Qing.


    Yu Hen also didn''t say what race Zhao Feng was from. Could it be that Zhao Feng''s force was extremely strong even by their standards?


    That must be the case, or else why would he dare to come to Phoenix Forest? Phoenix Forest is one of the main targets of the Sky Water Yao Race, and they have many members here! Quasi-God Jian Feng paid more attention to Zhao Feng.


    "Brother Yu Hen, you only have five people. It''ll be hard for you to find great fortune in Phoenix Forest. Come help the Sky Haze Race!" Quasi-God Jian Feng spoke.


    Quasi-God Jian Feng had originally been discussing how to attack the phoenix nest in the center regions when he sensed the bloodline of the Golden-Armed Race by accident, so he came over to have a look. The battle-power of everyone from the Golden-Armed Race was high. If they were willing to help the Sky Haze Race, their chances of successfully attacking the center phoenix nest would be higher.


    "Brother Zhao, the Sky Haze Race that Quasi-God Jian Feng is from is preparing to attack the center of Phoenix Forest. Let''s go have a look!" Yu Hen looked at Zhao Feng, as if asking for his thoughts.


    "The center of Phoenix Forest!" Zhao Feng''s heart moved. Only a peak four-star power would dare to attack the central phoenix nest, and the whole reason Zhao Feng had come to Phoenix Forest was to obtain some benefits.

 1181 Attacking the Phoenix Nes

    Chapter 1181 - Attacking the Phoenix Nest


    Quasi-God Jian Feng led Zhao Feng and company toward the center of Phoenix Forest. They could see a group of almost twenty from far away. At this moment, they were gathered together to discuss how to attack the central phoenix nest.


    These twenty people had unique auras, and almost all of them had the strength of a Rank Two True God or stronger. Zhao Feng couldn''t even tell the cultivation of some people present.


    A hundred miles away from the group of twenty was a palace-sized phoenix nest. It was colorful and pretty, and it gave off a pleasant fragrance.


    "This is the central phoenix nest!" Zhao Feng''s left eye instantly saw through it.


    Different colored lights could be seen within the phoenix nest. They gave off pleasant smells, and further within it were countless Phoenix-Tailed Birds. One could determine the strength of the Phoenix-Tailed Birds based on the color and length of their tails.


    "What a terrifying number!" Zhao Feng was stunned. If he was alone, he wouldn''t be able to conquer this place even with his entire beast horde. Zhao Feng wouldn''t even dare to try attacking them.


    "Quasi-God Jian Feng has come back!"


    "Those people are from the Golden-Armed Race!"


    Yu Hen was a strong Quasi-God prodigy from the Golden-Armed Race, and the experts of the other forces present had heard of him.


    Zhao Feng looked at their reactions. Everyone seemed to respect Quasi-God Jian Feng. From the looks of it, his status in the Sky Haze Race wasn''t low.


    "How come there''s a peak Mystic Light Realm here?" A Quasi-God prodigy with silver skin revealed a disdainful expression. Everyone else''s gazes also landed on Zhao Feng with surprise.


    Only Quasi-Gods and True Gods had entered the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. This was their first time seeing a Mystic Light Realm expert in here. Even in the past, they had never heard of a Mystic Light Realm entering the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension.


    "This is Brother Yu Hen from the Golden-Armed Race, and this is Brother Zhao. They''re here to help us attack the central phoenix nest!" Quasi-God Jian Feng smiled and introduced the Golden-Armed Race''s group.


    Everyone paused for a moment. When Quasi-God Jian Feng introduced the five, he put importance on Yu Hen and Zhao Feng. This surprised them and made them curious as to which race Zhao Feng came from and why he could be compared to Yu Hen.


    "With the addition of the Golden-Armed Race, our confidence is higher, but I have never heard of Brother Zhao, who is at the peak Mystic Light Realm!" The silver-skinned Quasi-God looked coldly at Zhao Feng and emphasized the words "peak Mystic Light Realm."


    Many of the other experts present didn''t say anything. They were curious about this as well.


    "Hahaha, I haven''t heard of him before either, but don''t underestimate him!" Quasi-God Jian Feng laughed and said no more.


    Don''t underestimate him? Could it be that this person at the peak Mystic Light Realm was actually strong? Seeing that Quasi-God Jian Feng was extremely friendly toward Zhao Feng, the experts in the group that looked down on Zhao Feng didn''t say anything else.


    The Golden-Armed Race, Zhao Feng, and the azure-robed elder approached this group and participated in the discussion on attacking the central phoenix nest.


    "There are two other big forces in north and south respectively. We need to enter the central phoenix nest before them!" a True God in multicolored-clothes said decisively.


    So that''s how it is!


    Zhao Feng nodded his head. The twenty or so people here were definitely not a match for the Phoenix-Tailed Birds in the central phoenix nest. There was a possibility of all of them being wiped out. However, if there were three of these groups, it would mean there were close to seventy True God experts, which would put their strength on the same level as the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race.


    Although these three groups each had their own plans in mind and couldn''t truly team up together, they had come to an agreement that they would attack at the same time. Only then would any of them be able to contain all the Phoenix-Tailed Birds in the phoenix nest.


    Zhao Feng learned that the Sky Water Yao Race was one of the other forces, and the strongest one at that.


    "The Phoenix-Tailed Birds specialize in Fire, so anyone whose cultivation is lower than a Rank Three True God and who specializes in Fire, go to the back. Those that cultivate the Dao of Ice or the Dao of Water will be the main attackers," a Sky Haze Race elder wearing cloth clothes said.


    When this elder spoke, everyone else in the group listened silently. Zhao Feng knew that this True God from the Sky Haze Race was probably the strongest person in this group.


    Fire at the back while Water types are the main attackers? Zhao Feng started hesitating.


    Since the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race used Fire, if a Fire user''s cultivation was too low, their Fire might just be absorbed by the Phoenix-Tailed Birds. Therefore, people with lower cultivations that cultivated the Dao of Fire were placed at the back. Although this meant they would be safer, it also meant that they would obtain the least amount of benefits.


    Those that cultivated the Dao of Ice or the Dao of Water were the main offensive force. They were at the very front and faced the greatest danger, but at the same time, their rewards would be the highest as well.


    Zhao Feng specialized in the Dao of Fire as well as the Dao of Ice and the Dao of Water, so he was thinking about whether he should go to the front or the back.


    "Okay, everyone should know their positions!" The elder wearing cloth clothes had a serious expression, and the members nodded their heads. They knew what they needed to do.


    "Brother Zhao, your cultivation is low. Stay in the back or else you''ll lose your life!" The silver-skinned Quasi-God smiled and spoke to Zhao Feng, but his smile was cold and deadly.


    Everyone knew that this person was purposely trying to incense Zhao Feng to bait him into becoming an attacker, but this wasn''t possible. Even if Zhao Feng specialized in Ice or Water, his cultivation was too weak, so he would be unable to bear the task of being an attacker anyway.


    Apart from the silver-skinned Quasi-God, several other experts looked at Zhao Feng with disdain.


    Zhao Feng glanced at the silver-skinned person and didn''t say anything. He was already thinking about that exact issue.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng didn''t say anything, the Quasi-God that taunted Zhao Feng said no more. After all, Zhao Feng was related to Quasi-God Jian Feng and the Golden-Armed Race, and right now, the key point was attacking the phoenix nest.


    "Attack!" The elder in cloth clothes spoke at this moment. He had obviously received a message from the other experts.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Almost twenty True Gods charged out. Zhao Feng was at the very back of this group.


    "Hmph, trash!" The silver-skinned Quasi-God couldn''t help but mock when he saw Zhao Feng at the very back of the group.


    The Sky Water Yao Race is the strongest force present, so I obviously can''t be at the very front!


    This was why Zhao Feng didn''t choose to be a main attacker. Hou Qing''s status in the Sky Water Yao Race was probably very high. If Hou Qing saw Zhao Feng, he definitely wouldn''t let go of him. There were also many experts of the Sky Water Yao Race present, and Zhao Feng couldn''t do anything to Hou Qing.


    Zhao Feng gave a deep glance toward the Golden-Armed Race trio at the very front.


    The multi-colored phoenix nest in sight became bigger and bigger.


    Zha¡­ Zha¡­


    Many Phoenix-Tailed Birds instantly flew out from the phoenix nest. The color of each phoenix tail was different, but they were all extremely pretty.


    "Kill!" The elder in cloth clothes was at the very front of the Sky Haze Race''s group. He waved his arm and released the terrifying pressure of a True God.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Countless faint blue wind blades surrounded the elder. The wind blades were controlled by the elder, and they could change into any form he wanted.


    "Rank Four True God!" Zhao Feng''s expression changed. The aura that this elder radiated was definitely the aura of a Rank Four True God.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, almost every force in the Gulong Zone had a Rank Four True God. Even Rank Five True Gods had entered the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. However, it was extremely hard to meet a Rank Four True God or stronger in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension since it was so big.


    This cloth-clad elder was the first Rank Four True God Zhao Feng had met in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zha¡­ Zha¡­


    Many Phoenix-Tailed Birds suddenly appeared behind the Sky Haze Race''s group. These Phoenix-Tailed Birds lived in the outer phoenix nests, and when the central phoenix nest was attacked, they would come forward to help. At the same time, the strength and bloodlines of these Phoenix-Tailed Birds were weaker than the central phoenix nest.


    "Stop them! Don''t let them disturb the main attackers of the group!" a Rank Two True God roared out loud before a terrifying green flame surged around his body.


    "Do something! Although your cultivation is low, since you''re participating, don''t think about slacking off!" A Quasi-God prodigy of the Sky Haze Race roared to Zhao Feng.


    Weng~~


    Zhao Feng circulated the Lightning-Fire Obliteration and thrust out a palm of fire that flickered with lightning.


    Boom! Bam! Bam!


    Three weak Phoenix-Tailed Birds were pushed back several dozen yards by Zhao Feng and were damaged by the power of God Tribulation Lightning.


    The Sky Haze Race prodigy''s eyes bulged out when he saw Zhao Feng''s palm was so terrifying, and he said no more.


    Although Zhao Feng cultivated the Dao of Fire, his Fire of Wind Lightning also contained the power of God Tribulation Lightning. The Phoenix-Tailed Bird was unable to absorb his power of Fire.


    "The back is indeed the safest, but it will be difficult to obtain the good stuff from here!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flickered toward the front.


    The Water and Ice cultivators were clashing against the Phoenix-Tailed Birds at the front, and they were approaching the central phoenix nest.


    At the same time, the sound of battle also sounded from the other two directions. The three groups attacking at the same time diverted the Phoenix-Tailed Birds'' attention. Now, all three forces had the opportunity to enter the central phoenix nest. It all depended on their luck.


    "Who dares to enter the central phoenix nest of the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race!?" Right at this moment, a seven-colored flame charged toward the group from the Sky Haze Race.


    Boom!


    Countless lines of fire sliced toward the group of people like scythes of death.


    "Arghh¡­!" Two Rank Two True Gods were cut in half by one line of fire. The fire then burned their injuries and their souls as well.


    In just a short moment, two Rank Two True Gods had fallen!


    "A Rank Five True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird!"


    The group members'' hearts shook as their footsteps halted.


    "Don''t retreat!" Right at this moment, the Rank Four True God from the Sky Haze Race took two experts that cultivated the Dao of Ice with him and charged out to stall the Rank Five True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Peng!


    Countless lines of fire clashed with blue wind blades, and some spectators had blurry eyes from watching.


    Hmm? The central phoenix nest only has a few Phoenix-Tailed Birds right now! Zhao Feng''s eyes saw through everything as he looked at the phoenix nest.


    At this moment, almost all of the Phoenix-Tailed Birds had been attracted away by the three groups, including the Rank Five True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird.


    "Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower, Earth Spirit Fruit, Grand Mystic Blood Clotting Zhi¡­." Zhao Feng looked at the treasures that filled up the phoenix nest.


    The rare Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower was one of the least valuable treasures here. Furthermore, the grade of this Water Lines Sacred Spirit Flower was much better than the one Zhao Feng obtained earlier.


    "Maybe I can steal these treasures¡­." Zhao Feng''s eyes spun as his heart-rate started to speed up.


    There were many Quasi-Gods and True Gods here. Some were even Rank Four True Gods, and there was a Rank Five True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird in the chaotic battle as well. Stealing the treasures from the central phoenix nest would be an extremely dangerous task.


    "The battle is very intense. It''ll be impossible for them to find out¡­." Zhao Feng decided to gamble, but he started from the least valuable treasures.


    "Spatial Movement!" A ripple of stealthy eye-bloodline power appeared around a certain treasure. At the center of the ripple was a whirlpool.


    Whoosh!


    The golden-blue flower disappeared into thin air. In the next instant, a weird golden-blue flower appeared in the dimension of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    The guardian Phoenix-Tailed Birds didn''t realize anything. The Sky Haze Race didn''t have any experts that specialized in spatial laws, and even if they sensed the disturbance in space, they wouldn''t think that it was Zhao Feng secretly stealing the treasures.


    "Success!" Zhao Feng was very excited. He felt a sense of accomplishment after stealing a treasure under the noses of several hundred Quasi-God and True God experts.


    However, in comparison to the single treasure that Zhao Feng just took, the phoenix nest still had countless more.

 1182 Stealing the Tail Feathers

    Chapter 1182 - Stealing the Tail Feathers


    Dazzling lights of every color covered the three battlefields. The three groups pushed forward at the same time and fought with the Phoenix-Tailed Birds. With the temptation of great wealth right in front of them, everyone''s potential was ignited. In particular, there was a large number of Quasi-Gods in the groups. They were very talented, so the increase in their strength was the most obvious.


    "Attack! The phoenix nest is right in front of us!"


    "I can see Golden Essence Fruits, Sky Lotus Dark Green Grass¡­"


    The main attackers'' Divine Senses slowly entered the phoenix nest and saw many cultivation resources that made them go crazy.


    Zhao Feng was at the very back of the group. He had no problem dealing with the weaker Phoenix-Tailed Birds.


    In comparison to those at the front, there was no danger at all for those at the back of the group, but those at the back obviously obtained a lot less.


    However, everything had an exception. Before everyone even managed to enter the phoenix nest, Zhao Feng was already starting to collect precious resources from the phoenix nest.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze landed on another herb.


    "Golden Serpent Scaled Fruit, you''re next!"


    This time, Zhao Feng targeted a more precious resource. A ripple of eye-bloodline power surfaced around the Golden Serpent Scaled Fruit. At the center of the ripple was a whirlpool.


    Shua!


    In the next moment, the Golden Serpent Scaled Fruit disappeared into thin air.


    "Great!"


    Zhao Feng was very excited as he searched for the next target. There were countless precious resources in the phoenix nest, and they were like dazzling stars that made Zhao Feng''s eyes go blurry.


    At this moment, the Phoenix-Tailed Birds were fighting against the three groups. No one on either side would have thought that the resources in the phoenix nest were decreasing bit by bit.


    Every time Zhao Feng took a resource, he would change spots.


    The three forces around the phoenix nest kept pushing forward to the phoenix nest.


    "Go! The three forces have almost reached the phoenix nest!" an elder roared in the darkness of the forest.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Eight figures charged out toward the phoenix nest. They were from the Blue Scaled Race.


    At the same time, several other figures flew out from around the phoenix forest. Almost all of these people came from four-and-a-half-star forces. They had been hiding in secret this whole time, waiting for the right moment.


    From the looks of it, the three groups will be able to enter the phoenix nest soon! Zhao Feng thought. If the three forces kept approaching the phoenix nest like this, the Phoenix-Tailed Birds would be pushed back into the phoenix nest. At that point, Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to steal any more resources.


    "I should take some more before the three forces manage to completely enter¡­." Zhao Feng started to become bolder, and a ripple of eye-bloodline power covered two resources in the phoenix nest.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng took away these two resources.


    Continue! Zhao Feng kept inspecting the phoenix nest while fighting, locking onto resources that he needed. Every time he stole, two or three resources in the phoenix nest would disappear.


    "Who stole my Ancient Spirit Branch!?" A fighting Rank Three True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird was enraged and released its Divine Sense to scan its surroundings.


    Weng~~


    The flames around this Phoenix-Tailed Bird instantly rose as it became enraged, and it released countless multi-colored fire nets.


    "That Phoenix-Tailed Bird left a Divine Sense mark on the Ancient Spirit Branch!" Zhao Feng wiped away his cold sweat. Luckily, the Phoenix-Tailed Bird was unable to sense the Ancient Spirit Branch within the God Eye''s dimension.


    However, after this Phoenix-Tailed Bird''s interruption, it made the other Phoenix-Tailed Bird realize that the resources in the phoenix nest had decreased. These Phoenix-Tailed Bird lived in the phoenix nest night and day, so they could tell what the situation was with just a glance.


    "Shameless! Who dares to steal our treasures!?" The Phoenix-Tailed Birds instantly became enraged and unleashed fiercer attacks against the three forces.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Countless multi-colored fire nets filled the sky and sped throughout the phoenix forest. If one wasn''t careful, they would be cut into pieces.


    "Why did these Phoenix-Tailed Birds suddenly become crazy?"


    "Quickly suppress them! They''re burning their bloodline power and won''t be able to last very long!" the Sky Haze Race elder in cloth clothes roared.


    The elder in cloth clothes was very well known in the group, and he was the pillar of support. As long as he didn''t fall, the battle-intent of the entire group would not drop.


    Zhao Feng inspected his surroundings. Now that the Phoenix-Tailed Birds were on guard, he couldn''t take the resources as he wished anymore.


    "I''ve already obtained enough resources. I''ll do one it once more, then stop!" Zhao Feng murmured in his heart as he made a decision.


    The resources that Zhao Feng had already taken were all from the outer edges of the phoenix nest. They were already extremely rare for Zhao Feng, but the center of the phoenix nest definitely had even rarer treasures. Zhao Feng targeted the center of the phoenix nest, and this would be the last time.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye looked toward the very center of the phoenix nest.


    Hu~~


    In the very center of the phoenix nest was a unique dimension. It was like a rainbow-colored bird nest; rainbow-colored mist filled the air, and all the treasures gave off unique auras.


    "Purple Night Mystic Dragon Branch, Six Twist Yuan Forming Flower¡­" Zhao Feng''s heart-rate sped up. Any one of the resources here could move Zhao Feng''s heart.


    "The tail feather of a Phoenix-Tailed Bird!" Zhao Feng''s gaze landed on a few abnormally beautiful tail feathers. Although they were just feathers, a faint fire still burned across them.


    Zhao Feng had heard the Golden-Armed Race talk about how precious the tail feathers of the Phoenix-Tailed Birds were. When the strong Phoenix-Tailed Birds left the phoenix nest they lived in, they would leave a feather behind, and whenever a powerful Phoenix-Tailed Bird died, they would leave a feather to the race.


    "These tail feathers must be important treasures for them to be placed in the very center of the phoenix nest!" Zhao Feng''s heart-rate sped up.


    There were other resources in this dimension, but Zhao Feng was definitely curious about the tail feathers of the Phoenix-Tailed Bird.


    "This dimension has the ability to stop spatial theft, so I can''t use Spatial Movement here. This place is similar to the wine cabinet in the cellar of the Demigod Forgotten Garden!"


    Zhao Feng didn''t make any rash movements because, if he failed, the Phoenix-Tailed Birds might sense him right away.


    "Looks like I need the little thieving cat to help now!" Zhao Feng smiled helplessly.


    Miao miao!


    A silver-gray little cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder. Its black eyes sparkled with a mischievous light as it inspected the phoenix nest in the distance.


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had let the little thieving cat into the Ancient Dream Realm, but the little thieving cat wasn''t very curious and didn''t say anything.


    The little thieving cat''s appearance didn''t catch much attention either. After all, from the perspective of others, this was just a normal weak pet.


    After communicating with the little thieving cat for a moment, Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto the separate dimension in the center of the phoenix nest once more.


    Whoosh!


    A ripple of eye-bloodline power spread, and the little thieving cat appeared in the central phoenix nest. However, the moment the little thieving cat entered the separate dimension, the expressions of a few Phoenix-Tailed Birds fighting outside changed dramatically.


    Zha! Zha!


    These Phoenix-Tailed Birds were the strongest. At this moment, they were enraged, and they glared at the humans in front of them with blood-red eyes.


    "Shameless! How dare you try to steal the treasures in our phoenix nest!?" Almost all of the Phoenix-Tailed Birds roared in anger. They wanted to return to the phoenix nest, but they were worried that, if they left, the humans would be able to charge straight into the phoenix nest.


    "Little Ling, you go!" a Rank Five True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird said, and a Rank Four True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird immediately turned into a purple-blue flame and rushed back to the phoenix nest.


    The three groups attacking at full power felt confused when they saw these weird actions from the Phoenix-Tailed Birds.


    "This is the second time the Phoenix-Tailed Birds have become enraged!"


    "What happened?" Many of the people had this question in their hearts.


    Whoosh!


    The Phoenix-Tailed Bird sped back into the phoenix nest. A cat could be seen opening its mouth and swallowing several of the most precious treasures in the phoenix nest.


    "You thieving cat, get back here!" the Phoenix-Tailed Bird roared as flames surged around it. Countless lines of fire curled toward the little thieving cat, but a ripple of eye-bloodline power suddenly covered the little thieving cat.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat''s figure disappeared into thin air.


    "Not good, the ancestor''s tail feathers have been stolen!" The Phoenix-Tailed Bird''s expression was instantly filled with fear and panic as it messaged the powerful Phoenix-Tailed Birds.


    News of the ancestor''s tail feathers being stolen instantly spread through the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race.


    Boom! Hu~~


    Almost a hundred Phoenix-Tailed Birds near the phoenix nest burned their bloodline power, and a surge of their terrifying Ten Thousand Ancient Races bloodline pressure spread out.


    "Kill! Kill all these humans!" The anger of these Phoenix-Tailed Birds couldn''t be contained, and they roared in a frenzy. After the tail feathers of their ancestor were stolen from the phoenix nest, the Phoenix-Tailed Birds were completely enraged and attacked without any care.


    Boom! Boom!


    The bloodlines of the groups attacking the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race weren''t stronger. Some of the four-and-a-half-star races were only ranked in the two thousands.


    The three groups started to become suppressed due to the difference in bloodlines.


    "The tail feathers in the phoenix nest have been stolen, so all the Phoenix-Tailed Birds have become angry!"


    "Impossible, we haven''t even gotten close to the phoenix nest yet!"


    The three groups were all extremely frustrated. They had fought for a long time, but such a situation happened when they were about to reach the phoenix nest. This meant that all their efforts had gone to trash. However, saving their own lives was the most important issue right now.


    The Phoenix-Tailed Birds guarding the phoenix nest didn''t care about their own lives anymore and were using their lives to take down the enemy!


    Boom! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Terrifying lines of fire sped toward everyone. There was no gap anywhere.


    "Retreat!" The Sky Haze Race elder in cloth sighed and gave the order.


    "Hm? This aura of fire¡­!" The Rank Five True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird fighting against the elder in cloth clothes felt a familiar sense of fire. It looked around and instantly locked onto Zhao Feng.


    "Not good!" The moment the Rank Five True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird saw Zhao Feng, his hair stood on end. His bones turned cold, and cold sweat started to pour out of his forehead.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng quickly retreated. He was the person who escaped the fastest in the entire group.


    "Coward! Trash!"


    "He retreats pretty fast!"


    Many people from the Sky Haze Race spoke in disdain when they saw Zhao Feng''s panicking expression, but Zhao Feng could not care any less. At this moment, saving his own life was the most important thing. The others hadn''t obtained anything at all, but what he obtained was enough to make the eyes of Rank Five True Gods go red.


    "As expected of the Phoenix-Tailed Birds; their control over Fire has reached such a high level!" Zhao Feng was stunned.


    Zhao Feng had teleported the little thieving cat out the moment it took the tail feather. It had only stayed on his shoulder for an instant, but a faint bloodline aura of Fire had touched his body.


    Zha! Zha!


    The cry of this Phoenix-Tailed Bird was crisp and bright. The gazes of all the Phoenix-Tailed Birds in the phoenix nest instantly locked onto the Sky Haze Race''s group.


    "Kill them all and take back the tail feathers of the ancestor!" This Rank Five True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird had a serious expression.


    Boom! Hu~~~


    Large numbers of Phoenix-Tailed Birds changed targets and headed toward the Sky Haze Race.


    At this moment, all the members of the Sky Haze Race''s group had pale-white faces. There were at least fifty Phoenix-Tailed Birds gathered in front of them. Such a terrifying number was enough to kill all of them!

 1183 Five Elements Shifting

    <p>Chapter 1183 - Five Elements Shifting</p><p>There was only one thought in the minds of everyone in the Sky Haze Race''s group when they saw more than fifty Phoenix-Tailed Bird''s attacking them ¨C run.</p><p>"Fuuuuck, why are the Phoenix-Tailed Birds only targeting us?"</p><p>"Who cares? Just try to save yourself!"</p><p>The Sky Haze Race''s group members used their fastest speeds to run away, but since the Phoenix-Tailed Birds specialized in speed and were familiar with the landscape, they were faster than most people.</p><p><em>Whoosh! Weng~~</em></p><p>Zhao Feng was at the very front of the retreat. Although his cultivation was low, his speed wasn''t slow. Furthermore, he wasn''t even retreating at full speed right now in case others became suspicious. The azure-robed elder was a Rank Three True God who specialized in the Dao of Lightning, so he could retreat without problem as well.</p><p>"Arghhh¡­! Help me!"</p><p>Everyone heard a cry from behind, but the cry soon disappeared.</p><p>Many experts'' hearts turned cold when they felt the danger of death behind them, and they used some hidden cards.</p><p><em>Whoosh!</em></p><p>The speed of several Quasi-God experts increased dramatically. It was obvious that they used some sort of escaping technique.</p><p>A small number of people also crushed some kind of pearl, releasing a profound Intent that covered them. They could control this Intent with their thoughts, increasing their speed to the level of a Rank Four True God.</p><p>Although Zhao Feng was at the very front when retreating, some people soon caught up to Zhao Feng. For example, the elder in cloth clothes and another expert from the Sky Haze Race that specialized in Wind caught up.</p><p>"Brother Zhao, you''re so smart. You didn''t become one of the main attackers, so it was easier for you to run away!" Yu Hen slowly caught up to Zhao Feng. Alongside him were the other two from the Golden-Armed Race.</p><p>The tall male relied on his own speed while the female in pink was using some sort of hidden technique to increase her speed.</p><p>"I was just lucky!" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile. This time, no one had obtained anything after attacking the phoenix nest except for Zhao Feng, who had obtained a bunch of stuff even though he was one of the weaker ones at the very back. He even obtained the tail feathers of the Phoenix-Tailed Birds'' ancestor.</p><p>Zhao Feng felt slightly embarrassed. Quasi-God Jian Feng had let him join their group, but Zhao Feng tricked all of them and ruined it for everyone else.</p><p>"Bastard, we didn''t even get anything!" an angry roar sounded from behind. It was the male with silver skin.</p><p>He was a cultivator of the Dao of Ice, so he was one of the main attackers that assaulted the phoenix nest. This meant that he almost died when the Phoenix-Tailed Birds counterattacked.</p><p>At this moment, the Intents of Water and Wind could be felt beneath his feet. It was this power that allowed his speed to surpass Rank Three True Gods for a short amount of time and escape death.</p><p>"A piece of trash like you is still alive!?" The silver-skinned male felt extremely indignant when he saw that Zhao Feng was perfectly fine.</p><p>Before attacking the phoenix nest, he had mocked Zhao Feng for being a useless coward, but it was because Zhao Feng was at the back that he was fine. On the other hand, the silver-skinned male was one of the main attackers and almost lost his life because of it. He only managed to survive because he had used one of his hidden cards.</p><p>"Trash, I''ll give you to the Phoenix-Tailed Birds and buy us some time!" The silver-skinned male revealed a deadly expression as he thrust out his palm toward Zhao Feng.</p><p><em>Crack! Weng~~</em></p><p>An icy power instantly washed over toward Zhao Feng. A layer of frost appeared on the nearby plants.</p><p>This male was very strong; his strength was close to Yu Hen''s. If Zhao Feng was hit by this palm, his speed would be heavily reduced, and the Phoenix-Tailed Birds would catch up. Only Zhao Feng knew that the reason why the Phoenix-Tailed Birds were so angry was because of himself. If Zhao Feng was left behind, he would die without a doubt.</p><p>"Lightning Radiance Spatial Flash!" The pair of golden wings behind Zhao Feng''s back turned into lightning.</p><p><em>Boom!</em></p><p>A ball of lightning exploded as Zhao Feng''s figure flashed forward. The silver-skinned male''s attack missed.</p><p>"That peak Mystic Light Realm has such a technique?"</p><p>"What a profound spatial technique!"</p><p>Many of the experts that were escaping looked at Zhao Feng in a new light.</p><p>"He actually managed to avoid it!?" The silver-skinned male was surprised. A peak Mystic Light Realm actually managed to evade his attack.</p><p>"I''ll also give you a present!" Zhao Feng turned around and inspected the silver-skinned male with cold eyes.</p><p>Luckily, Zhao Feng had managed to comprehend this new flying secret technique ¨C the Lightning Radiance Spatial Flash ¨C or else he would have needed to use a hidden card.</p><p>He had never even met this silver-skinned male before, but the latter kept on making trouble for him. Originally, Zhao Feng didn''t really mind, but now that the silver-skinned male wanted to kill him, there was no need for Zhao Feng to be respectful to him anymore.</p><p>"Physical Force Lightning Domain!" Zhao Feng waved his palm, and a transparent dark yellow domain covered the silver-skinned male.</p><p><em>Whoosh!</em></p><p>When this domain of lightning and gravity covered the silver-skinned male, a surge of lightning crushed down. The lightning stunned and disrupted him while the gravity domain slowed him down.</p><p>"How is this possible¡­? Your power¡­" The silver-skinned male was shocked. He had used a hidden card to become faster, but he was now being suppressed. The power of Zhao Feng''s domain was not simple!</p><p>However, although his boosted speed was being suppressed, he himself wasn''t slow, so the Phoenix-Tailed Birds hadn''t caught up yet.</p><p>"From Earth comes Metal¡­ Metal Lightning Spike!" Zhao Feng waved his hand, and the laws of Earth covering the silver-skinned male transformed into the laws of Metal.</p><p><em>Boom! Weng~~~</em></p><p>Terrifying golden light pierced through the silver-skinned male''s body.</p><p>"How is this possible¡­!?" The silver-skinned male didn''t expect that a measly peak Mystic Light Realm had such a technique that he could turn a gravity domain into such a terrifying attack. Caught off guard, the silver-skinned male was heavily injured by Zhao Feng''s Metal of Wind Lightning.</p><p>However, this Metal of Wind Lightning soon turned into Water of Wind Lightning, which rampaged through the silver-skinned male''s body and caused destruction.</p><p>"Arghhhhh, don''t¡­!" The silver-skinned male''s speed decreased dramatically.</p><p><em>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!</em></p><p>Several colored lines of fire sliced through his body, and he slowly disappeared within the flames.</p><p>"What a deadly technique! He can easily change the five elements!"</p><p>"Even a True God probably couldn''t do that unless they had the Eye of Myriad Forms!"</p><p>The hearts of the experts running alongside Zhao Feng shook as they viewed this peak Mystic Light Realm youth in a new light yet again.</p><p>Almost all experts would try to comprehend the five elements before breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm in order to strengthen their Sacred Power Whirlpool. However, most could only comprehend a bit since they didn''t have enough time to master each element to a very high level. Therefore, only a few True Gods could shift between the five elements, but they couldn''t do so as quickly and skillfully as Zhao Feng.</p><p>"I didn''t think that I would be able to shift between the five elements so easily!" Zhao Feng revealed a joyful expression.</p><p>Zhao Wan had played a part in this. One of Zhao Feng''s clones had the Eyes of Myriad Forms. The cultivation experience and knowledge gained from Zhao Wan kept entering his mind. Regardless of what Zhao Feng himself did, he would know a little bit about Myriad Forms as well.</p><p>Zhao Feng found that, ever since he gained the second clone Zhao Wan, his cultivation speed of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had increased.</p><p>"Stop chasing, the other two forces are attacking the phoenix nest!" a Phoenix-Tailed Bird with a powerful aura suddenly said.</p><p>"Understood!"</p><p>All of the Phoenix-Tailed Birds immediately returned. While the tail feathers of their ancestor were important, they couldn''t let the entire phoenix nest be conquered by the enemy because of this matter.</p><p>"Little Ling, turn into human form, follow this person in secret, and take back the tail feathers of our ancestor. There should be no problem with your Rank Four True God strength, right?" the chief Phoenix-Tailed Bird talked to another Phoenix-Tailed Bird.</p><p>The tail feathers of this Phoenix-Tailed Bird burned with a purple-blue flame, and the aura radiating from it was extremely strong.</p><p><em>Whoosh!</em></p><p>A beam of fire entered its mind and showed the appearance of Zhao Feng.</p><p>"Understood!" This Phoenix-Tailed Bird immediately used a secret technique and turned into human form amidst a purple-blue flame.</p><p>She wore a long purple-blue dress and had a snow-white figure. There were no flaws in her appearance, and her eyes sparkled with a purple-blue light that could move one''s soul. The Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race was one of the four most beautiful races, and their appearance in human form was just as stunning.</p><p>Little Ling was the one who personally saw the little thieving cat devour the tail feathers of their ancestor.</p><p>"This person should be that cat''s master!" Little Ling looked at the image of Zhao Feng in her mind, and cold killing intent surged from her eyes. Although she was extremely disdainful and hateful of the fact that she had to turn into human form, there was nothing Little Ling could do about it since she was doing it to take back the tail feathers of their ancestor. She could only turn into human form and find a chance to kill this person.</p><p>¡­</p><p>The Sky Haze Race group stopped at the outer edge of Phoenix Forest.</p><p>At this moment, there were only sixteen people left. Almost ten experts with the strength of a True God had been killed. The state of those that remained wasn''t very good either; injuries of different degrees covered their bodies.</p><p>"They''ve gone back!"</p><p>"Fuck, we attracted a bunch of Phoenix-Tailed Birds out. The other two forces definitely used this chance to push forward and might have obtained some treasures already!" a person said unwillingly.</p><p>The elder in cloth clothes was also silent. The Sky Haze Race specialized in Wind, so their casualties were lower. However, the Phoenix-Tailed Birds seemed to purposely target them, so he didn''t dare to attack the phoenix nest anymore.</p><p>"Let''s rest here for a while!" the elder in cloth clothes said.</p><p>"The Sky Haze Race will go to some other places now. If you want, you can follow us!" The elder in cloth clothes looked around and paused when he saw the Golden-Armed Race and Zhao Feng.</p><p>If one followed a Rank Four True God through the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, they would be able to obtain more fortune without a doubt, but the places that Rank Four True Gods wanted to scout out weren''t something that normal Quasi-Gods and True Gods could risk. For example, the phoenix nest contained a Phoenix-Tailed Bird that had reached the level of a Rank Five True God.</p><p>"I''m sorry, Brother Yu and Brother Zhao, for dragging you here and getting nothing in the end!" Quasi-God Jian Feng smiled faintly and walked over to Zhao Feng.</p><p>"No, no, no, this one is satisfied already just witnessing the strength of a Rank Four True God and the legendary phoenix nest!" Zhao Feng smiled awkwardly and felt kind of bad. He had actually obtained a lot.</p><p>The remaining people then started to recover their Yuan Qi and heal their injuries. The Wild Ancient Secret Dimension was filled with danger, so it was best not to do anything if they weren''t at their peak state.</p><p>Part of Zhao Feng''s consciousness entered the dimension of his God Eye to inspect what he had obtained while another part of his consciousness cultivated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.</p><p>The next level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique was for the five elements to become one. It needed resources and comprehension, but now that Zhao Feng could shift between the five elements as he wished and had Zhao Wan''s help, it wasn''t hard to combine the five elements.</p><p>A powerful aura suddenly appeared in front of the Sky Haze Race''s group, and everyone instantly opened their eyes as they looked over.</p><p>"What is the meaning of this?" The cloth-clad elder stood up and radiated an invisible pressure.</p><p>"Hmph. Sky Haze Race, hand over what you obtained in the phoenix nest!" an elder covered in black scales roared.</p><p>On the other side was the Sky Water Yao Race''s group. Although the Sky Haze Race had attracted away most of the Phoenix-Tailed Birds and allowed them to successfully enter the phoenix nest, the Phoenix-Tailed Birds returned and almost killed them all.</p><p>Although the two groups had obtained a lot of wealth, their losses were very heavy, and they only had twenty-eight people remaining.</p><p>They thought that the Sky Haze Race had definitely obtained an important treasure from the phoenix nest; why else would the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race become so enraged and attack the Sky Haze Race specifically? The two groups decided to team up and pressure the Sky Haze Race group.</p><p>At this moment, within the Sky Water Yao Race''s group, Hou Qing''s eyes suddenly shook as his gaze landed on a youth with golden hair and a golden eye.</p>

 1184 The power of Inten

    Chapter 1184 - The Power of Intent


    "It''s you!" Hou Qing revealed a deadly smile.


    "What is it, Hou Qing?" On the side, a Rank Four True God from the Sky Water Yao Race asked. Although Hou Qing was arrogant and cocky, he was strong and had a powerful background, so he had a high status in the Sky Water Yao Race.


    At this moment, Hou Qing started to roar with laughter. One could feel killing Intent from this laughter.


    "The person that offended me earlier is here!" Hou Qing said in a low voice. Some of the Sky Water Yao Race members knew that someone had offended Hou Qing, but he didn''t say how he was offended.


    "Who offended Hou Qing?"


    "It should be the Golden-Armed Race or Quasi-God Jian Feng!"


    The Sky Water Yao Race and the experts of the other group were extremely curious.


    "You, come out!" Hou Qing looked down at Zhao Feng and pointed out with his finger.


    Back then, Zhao Feng had killed the other Sky Water Yao Race members and almost killed him as well. After escaping, Hou Qing contacted the Sky Water Yao Race instantly and prepared to find Zhao Feng after the finishing with the phoenix nest. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be in Phoenix Forest as well; this saved him a lot of time and effort.


    Today, he was going to cut Zhao Feng into ten thousand pieces!


    After being pointed at by Hou Qing, everyone from all three groups instantly turned toward Zhao Feng. They didn''t think that the person that offended Hou Qing was a peak Mystic Light Realm.


    "Young Sir Hou Qing, there''s no need to keep harping on what happened, is there? Back then, I didn''t know that you were from the Sky Water Yao Race or else I definitely wouldn''t have chased after you and tried to kill you!" Zhao Feng pretended that he was slightly scared.


    "What? This person once chased after and tried to kill Hou Qing? How is that possible?" Many of the people from the three groups were very surprised. Aside from the boldness of it, how could Zhao Feng chase after and try to kill Hou Qing even if he wanted to, given his strength?


    Hou Qing, who felt superior at the moment, was also completely dazed. He thought that Zhao Feng would kneel down and beg for forgiveness in this life-and-death situation, but instead, he told everyone about what happened and stomped on his face!


    "You''re courting death!" Hou Qing''s eyes became cold as he charged at Zhao Feng.


    There were many people from the Sky Water Yao Race present, and there was another group here as well, so the Sky Haze Race wouldn''t dare to fight for Zhao Feng. If the azure-robed elder next to Zhao Feng took action, then the True Gods of the Sky Water Yao Race would stop him.


    This time, Hou Qing was going to kill Zhao Feng in front of everyone and regain the face that he had lost.


    "Hou Qing, Brother Zhao is my friend!" At this moment, Yu Hen spoke with a soft voice.


    "Hmph!" The Rank Four True God from the Sky Water Yao Race harrumphed coldly, and a terrifying pressure crushed toward the Golden-Armed Race trio. They felt like they were amidst raging waves and could be devoured at any moment.


    With the Rank Four True God of the Sky Water Yao Race as the leader, the three groups came to an agreement that they would sort everything out after Hou Qing killed Zhao Feng. Of course, the group from the Sky Haze Race was forced into this.


    Weng~~~


    A pair of golden wings formed behind Zhao Feng as he shot into the sky.


    The current situation wasn''t very good. There were a lot of super experts of the Sky Water Yao Race present, so Zhao Feng couldn''t use many of his hidden cards or else the experts present would steal his treasures. He also wouldn''t receive any help from anyone.


    "Do you only know how to run?" Hou Qing revealed a bloodthirsty smile as he circulated the laws of Water and Wind and quickly approached Zhao Feng.


    "Water Slaughtering Screen!" Hou Qing waved his hand, and the wind above Zhao Feng moved. Profound laws of Water and Wind formed into a giant whirlpool that sucked in everything.


    Zhao Feng felt his body moving toward this whirlpool, and his usage of laws was also restricted.


    Whoosh!


    Hou Qing waved his left hand, and a giant blade of water and wind slashed at Zhao Feng. Its power touched the sky, and it was unstoppable.


    "Hou Qing is indeed worthy of being a Son of Heaven of the Sky Water Yao Race. His mastery over the laws of Wind and Water have reached a very high level. He will probably be able to reach Level One Intent soon!" The black-scaled elder looked at Hou Qing with eyes like venomous scorpions.


    "Level One Intent of Wind and Water!" The hearts of many experts present shook.


    Apart from the fact that True Gods had Divine Power, there was also their power of Intent. Divine weapons didn''t contain any element, but if merged with the Intent of Fire, they could obtain more destructive power than if they were merged with the Intent of Wood. When merged with the Intent of Space, Divine Power could even merge with space.


    Divine Power could become stronger and stronger as long as it was refined, but Intent required talent and comprehension. Most True Gods usually only had strong Divine Power but low comprehension, meaning that their overall strength was weak.


    For example, the Divine Power of the azure-robed elder that Zhao Feng had enslaved contained the Intent of Lightning, but his Intent of Lightning was only Level One. If his Intent of Lightning had reached Level Three, he would probably be able to fight Rank Four True Gods.


    "Level One Intent of Wind and Water?" Zhao Feng paused for a moment. This was the first time he had heard of levels regarding Intent, but after inspecting closely, Hou Qing''s Intent of Water and Wind was indeed very powerful or else Zhao Feng would have been able to kill him last time.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated the Lightning-Fire Obliteration and thrust out a blazing golden palm.


    Boom! Weng~~~


    The two powers exploded after interacting for a moment, and a surge of water and wind charged toward Zhao Feng.


    This strong Intent of Wind and Water is very powerful when merged with Divine Power! Zhao Feng''s heart shook.


    The power of his Lightning-Fire Obliteration was only comparable to basic Divine Power to begin with. Compared to that, after merging the Intent of Wind and Water into his Divine Power, Hou Qing''s Divine Power was much stronger.


    "Hou Qing is so talented. I wonder how strong the strongest prodigy of the Sky Water Yao Race is!"


    "Looks like the Sky Water Yao Race is going to have another title on the Gulong Zone Quasi-God Prodigy Ranking Board!"


    Many of the experts in the two groups facing the Sky Haze Race leisurely watched this battle.


    The Quasi-God Prodigy Ranking Board only recorded the top twenty Quasi-Gods in a zone. Those that could be recorded on it would become at least Rank Six True Gods in the future.


    All of the Quasi-Gods in the Gulong Zone aimed for the Quasi-God Prodigy Ranking Board. Of course, these people were just talking about it casually; it would be very difficult for Hou Qing to actually enter the Gulong Zone Quasi-God Prodigy Ranking Board.


    "Offending me back then meant that this would be your final outcome. Just prepare to die!" Hou Qing felt smug when he heard the True God experts discussing him.


    "Water Slaughtering Screen!" Three giant whirlpools of Wind and Water appeared around Zhao Feng. The terrifying suction force seemed to engulf everything.


    "Don''t get cocky!" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold as his left eye locked onto Hou Qing.


    Ding! Ding!


    A long black sword appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. It was the sword-form Ancient God Seal.


    Boom! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng slashed out, unleashing a terrifying dark golden sword blade after circulating the Lightning-Fire Obliteration.


    "You think that you''re the only one with a divine weapon?" Hou Qing took out a divine weapon as well. Apart from Divine Power and the power of Intent, divine weapons were another important tool. The power of attacks would be stronger when channeling Divine Power and Intent through a divine weapon.


    "Spatial Movement!" A ripple appeared from Zhao Feng''s left eye when Hou Qing took out his divine weapon, and a spatial ripple appeared within Hou Qing''s body.


    "Not good!" Hou Qing''s expression changed dramatically. Zhao Feng specialized in the laws of space as well?


    Whoom!


    A black light slashed across his chest as the little thieving cat''s figure appeared in the air.


    "Junior, don''t even think about harming Hou Qing!" The Rank Four True God expert from the Sky Water Yao Race was watching the fight in the distance with a smile, but he suddenly roared in anger.


    Shua!


    The little thieving cat took the dark silver dragon snake whip necklace and wrapped it around Hou Qing.


    "Dammit!" Although Hou Qing''s heart was heavily injured from the attack, it wasn''t enough to kill him.


    Weng~~ Hu!


    A surge of terrifying Intent of Water and Wind moved with Hou Qing''s thoughts, charging toward the little thieving cat.


    "Just lie down obediently!" Zhao Feng harrumphed coldly as his left eye released a terrifying eye-bloodline technique ¨C the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame.


    Voom!


    A ball of Destructive lightning exploded onto Hou Qing''s soul.


    "Argh¡­!" Surges of pain instantly shattered his mind, and the nearby Intent of Wind and Water crumbled.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A surge of devastating Wind Lightning moved as Zhao Feng dragged Hou Qing and the little thieving cat into his Little World of Wind Lightning.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh¡­


    At this moment, four people from the Sky Water Yao Race arrived. They consisted of one Rank Four True God and three Rank Three True Gods.


    "If you dare to take one more step further, I will detonate my Little World!" Zhao Feng instantly roared. A screen of Wind Lightning appeared and reflected the images of Hou Qing and the little thieving cat.


    The Sky Water Yao Race group instantly stopped moving.


    "Junior, let go of Hou Qing and the Sky Water Yao Race will let you live!" the Rank Four True God from the Sky Water Yao Race instantly yelled.


    They weren''t initially scared of Zhao Feng threatening them with Hou Qing because it would be extremely hard for him to kill Hou Qing right away, but now, Zhao Feng had Hou Qing in his Little World of Wind Lightning. If the Little World was detonated, the force would definitely be enough to kill Hou Qing.


    "Save me!" Hou Qing pleaded for help from within the Little World of Wind Lightning.


    Bam!


    The little thieving cat sat on Hou Qing and took out a spade, which it used to heavily slam Hou Qing''s head.


    "Do you really think I would believe you and release Hou Qing?" Zhao Feng laughed coldly. The Sky Water Yao Race was treating him like a retard.


    "If you dare to kill Hou Qing, the Sky Water Yao Race won''t let go of you!" the Rank Four True God said coldly. Hou Qing''s ancestor was an Elder of the Sky Water Yao Race, so they needed Hou Qing to stay alive.


    "Don''t follow me. I will let go of Hou Qing after I retreat two hundred thousand miles away!" Zhao Feng had a calm expression as the wings on his back released a brilliant glow of light that allowed his figure to disappear with a flash.


    The three groups were dead-silent! Just a moment ago, they were praising Hou Qing and congratulating the Sky Water Yao Race, but in the next moment, Hou Qing was captured by Zhao Feng. If it wasn''t for the fact that so many Sky Water Yao Race experts were here, Zhao Feng would have probably killed Hou Qing already.


    The Sky Haze Race group was overjoyed. After Zhao Feng''s disturbance, the other two groups wouldn''t team up against them anymore.


    "The Golden-Armed Race will be leaving now!" Yu Hen said with a smile.


    Whoosh!


    The Golden-Armed Race trio and the azure-robed elder left.


    "Wait here. When that brat has retreated two hundred thousand miles away, we will charge right over!" the Rank Four True God from the Sky Water Yao Race said coldly. He could sense Hou Qing''s rough location through the token in his hand. Once the distance was more than two hundred miles away, they would start to move.

 1185 God Sealing Race

    Chapter 1185 - God Sealing Race


    A beautiful figure suddenly appeared within the depths of Phoenix Forest. She wore a long blue-and-purple dress, and her beauty could make one unable to breathe properly.


    "This human is pretty strong; he actually wasn''t killed by those people. That cat is also not simple!" Little Ling smiled. She was a Phoenix-Tailed Bird and was currently in human form in order to take back the tail feathers of her race''s ancestor.


    If Zhao Feng was killed by the Sky Water Yao Race, then the tail feathers of their ancestor would fall into their hands. She wouldn''t dare to try to take them back from such a group alone, so Little Ling actually hoped that Zhao Feng would live. That way, she could kill him herself.


    Shua!


    Little Ling turned into a blue-and-purple flame that left in the other direction.


    ¡­


    "It''s almost two hundred thousand miles now!" Zhao Feng relaxed. His Lightning Radiance Spatial Flash could move fifty thousand miles at most in the Ancient Dream Realm, so he could actually escape an extra fifty thousand miles. He believed that it would be extremely hard for the opposing party to find him after there was two hundred and fifty thousand miles between them. Furthermore, Zhao Feng''s eyes could see very far, and if he saw anyone chase after him, he could use the Misty Spatial World to escape.


    "Zhao Feng, let go of me!" Hou Qing roared in the Little World of Wind Lightning.


    Bam!


    The little thieving cat''s spade hit him in the head, causing Hou Qing''s head to spin.


    "Now fuck off!" Zhao Feng let Hou Qing out. Although he really wanted to kill Hou Qing, he had promised that he would let Hou Qing go after moving two hundred thousand miles away. He would do as he promised, but if he met this person again, he definitely wouldn''t forgive him!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh¡­


    At this moment, the Golden-Armed Race appeared not far away.


    "Zhao Feng, run!" Yu Hen shouted urgently with panic.


    "Run?" Zhao Feng''s expression paused for a moment. Of course he was going to run. Was there a need to be in such a rush though? However, in the next instant, Zhao Feng felt a sensation of life-and-death danger.


    Weng!


    The air distorted around Zhao Feng, and a figure appeared directly next to him through a spatial disturbance.


    Boom!


    The hairs on Zhao Feng''s body stood up on end, and the pair of wings on his back flashed as he teleported away.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng instantly move several dozen thousand miles away.


    "Hmph!" The elder harrumphed coldly as he glanced at the Golden-Armed Race trio.


    "Quickly kill Zhao Feng!" Hou Qing revealed a deadly expression.


    Zhao Feng had underestimated the True God experts. This Rank Four True God from the Sky Water Yao Race, apart from Water and Wind, also specialized in the laws of space. He could move anywhere within ten thousand miles with just spatial teleportation!


    However, spatial teleportation couldn''t be used continuously, so the elder didn''t use it again. After all, this True God''s Intent of Space had only reached Level Two.


    Whoosh!


    This Rank Four True God unleashed the Intent of Wind and Water, transforming into a bolt of light that chased after Zhao Feng.


    "Fuck, what is this technique?" Cold sweat poured down from Zhao Feng''s forehead as his heart started to shake. At this moment, he was circulating his Lightning-Fire Obliteration to the maximum, but the True God was still catching up.


    Although Zhao Feng''s speed in the Ancient Dream Realm was faster than the outside world, this Rank Four True God also specialized in speed. An invisible Intent of Space surrounded Zhao Feng, stopping him from using any unique methods.


    "Master, the Golden-Armed Race said that, if you escape to the Forest of Death, they will meet you there!" At this moment, the azure-robed elder''s voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    Part of his consciousness started looking at the information regarding the Forest of Death. This place was a barren ground of death, and it was close to Phoenix Forest. No matter how strong a True God was, they would most likely die if they entered.


    However, if he was caught by this Rank Four True God, it meant certain death anyway! Besides, Zhao Feng also wanted to see the Golden-Armed Race''s true goal.


    Boom!


    A bolt of lightning flashed, and Zhao Feng changed directions. He was now heading toward the Forest of Death!


    "Junior, die!" a deafening roar sounded behind Zhao Feng. He ¨C a Rank Four True God ¨C had used a teleportation technique and still didn''t manage to catch up to Zhao Feng. This made him lose face, but at the moment, he was very close to Zhao Feng.


    "Water Slaughtering Screen!" This Rank Four True God waved his hand, and a giant whirlpool of wind and water appeared above Zhao Feng. A terrifying pulling force seemed to devour everything.


    "Is this the combination of profound Intent and Divine Power?" Zhao Feng was shocked. At this moment, he was being pulled by the whirlpool of wind and water. He was completely unable to sustain the Lightning Radiance Spatial Flash.


    The power of a Rank Four True God using the Water Slaughtering Screen was several times stronger than when Hou Qing used it.


    "Die!" This Rank Four True God appeared before Zhao Feng. At this point in time, Zhao Feng was bound by his power and unable to escape.


    However, Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly released a terrifying whirlpool of wind and water as well, which descended directly onto this Rank Four True God. The two suction forces of both giant whirlpools instantly canceled each other out.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng used the Lightning Radiance Spatial Flash and flew toward the dark misty forest in the distance. He used the God Eye Duplication and managed to catch a Rank Four True God off guard.


    "Argh¡­! I''m going to make you wish that you were dead!" The Rank Four True God howled, and the Intents of Wind, Water, and Space in Heaven and Earth shook.


    Nearby experts were stunned and instantly scattered.


    "Spatial teleportation!" The Rank Four True God of the Sky Water Yao Race used the Intent of Space and disappeared into the air.


    "He''s coming!" Zhao Feng instantly felt the air around him become chaotic, but at the same time, he reached the border of the Forest of Death.


    Bam! Boom! Boom!


    Zhao Feng turned into a bolt of lightning and dove straight into the Forest of Death. In the next instant, a figure appeared right where Zhao Feng was just standing.


    "The Forest of Death!" The Rank Four True God''s eyebrows furrowed. He didn''t understand why Zhao Feng would come here. The Forest of Death was filled with danger, and most people would die. Even he didn''t dare to enter.


    ¡­


    The moment Zhao Feng entered the Forest of Death, he felt limitless Intent of Death wash over him.


    Hu~~


    A thick air of Death entered Zhao Feng''s body and started to erode him.


    "What a terrifying air of Death!" Zhao Feng''s heart jumped. He felt that the lifeforce within his body was being washed away. If he continued to stay here, he would die before long.


    "Master, don''t use any power!" the azure-robed elder''s voice sounded in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    Zhao Feng immediately did as told and stopped using all his Intent, Wind Lightning Sacred Power, and the ability of his God Eye.


    The Intent of Death then stopped eroding Zhao Feng''s body.


    "What a weird place. One is fine only if they don''t use any power at all!" Zhao Feng felt extremely curious and puzzled. If one couldn''t use any power, if they encountered any danger, it would mean death.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes scanned his surroundings. Apart from the bald trees, hills, and stones, there was nothing else. Everything in the distance was filled with black mist.


    Zhao Feng stayed here and waited for the Golden-Armed Race trio to come. Otherwise, he would have just used the Misty Spatial World to leave already.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    A thundering sound charged toward Zhao Feng, and a large black figure appeared before him. This was a giant Earth Metal Bear, but it was surrounded by the air of Death. Its eyes were pitch-black, as if it had lost all consciousness, and it attacked Zhao Feng right away.


    "You''re courting death!" Zhao Feng jumped up and punched out without saying anything else.


    He had cultivated the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, so even if he didn''t actively use any power, the power of his body alone was terrifying.


    Boom! Bam!


    This Earth Metal Bear was only a Demigod, so it was sent flying by Zhao Feng.


    Teng!


    Zhao Feng jumped into the air and punched downward.


    After killing the Earth Metal Bear, Zhao Feng came to the edge of the Forest of Death and sat down. The three from the Golden-Armed Race and the azure-robed elder appeared near Zhao Feng soon after.


    "Is there a reason that Brother Yu wanted to see me?" Zhao Feng asked. He hadn''t thought about it too much when the Golden-Armed Race trio first approached him, but they were too friendly to Zhao Feng on the way, making him wary. Furthermore, the trio knew that Zhao Feng had offended Hou Qing and still directed him to Phoenix Forest. This made Zhao Feng even more suspicious.


    "I wonder if Brother Zhao is interested in the Forest of Death." Yu Hen revealed a smile, but it looked ghastly in this forest surrounded by the air of Death.


    "Nope!" Zhao Feng replied directly. There was definitely something wrong when it was so out of the norm like this. This Forest of Death obviously had a big secret, but it was too dangerous here. Zhao Feng already had all the cultivation resources he wanted, and he could leave the Ancient Dream Realm whenever he wanted. There was no need for him to risk his life to explore the Forest of Death.


    "Brother Zhao, don''t decline so fast. Let me tell you some information, and then you can decide!" Yu Hen revealed a smile, and the way he looked at Zhao Feng instantly changed.


    "When the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension opened twenty thousand years ago, a senior of the Golden-Armed Race was forced into the Forest of Death, and he found the secret here," Yu Hen said slowly. Zhao Feng listened carefully. Regardless of anything else, he was still interested in the forest''s secret.


    "This senior had trained his body cultivation to an extremely high level, and he managed to reach the center of the Forest of Death. In the end, he found that there was a God Sealing Stone there!" Yu Hen placed great emphasis on the last words.


    "God Sealing Stones are apparently a treasure of the God Sealing Race, which is ranked 14th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. It can seal everything in the world!" the female in pink spoke. Her voice was crisp and clear.


    Zhao Feng became silent. He had heard of the God Sealing Race, but he didn''t know anything about God Sealing Stones. If this was true, then the center of the Forest of Death should contain some sort of powerful wicked monster or treasure.


    "Ten thousand years ago, another senior made some preparations and found that a powerful divine weapon was sealed by the God Sealing Stone. The three of us came this time to take this divine weapon!" Yu Hen finally told Zhao Feng their aim, and the two next to him also revealed excited looks.


    "Divine weapon?" Zhao Feng''s heart shook. What kind of divine weapon could turn this place into a ground of death, and why did it need to be sealed by a God Sealing Stone? What was the grade of this divine weapon? The danger involved in obtaining this divine weapon didn''t need to be explained.


    "I can guarantee that Brother Zhao will be able to reach the center of the Forest of Death smoothly!" Yu Hen said after seeing that Zhao Feng was still silent.


    "Brother Zhao, once we obtain this divine weapon, we can let you use it once to finish off that True God from the Sky Water Yao Race outside the Forest of Death. If Brother Zhao visits the Golden-Armed Race in the future, you will be treated as an esteemed guest!" Yu Hen promised more benefits after seeing that Zhao Feng was still hesitating.


    "Let''s go to the center of the Forest of Death first!" Zhao Feng suddenly spoke. Since Yu Hen could guarantee that Zhao Feng could reach the center of the Forest of Death safely, Zhao Feng decided to at least have a look at the God Sealing Stone and then make his decision.


    Everything was based only on what the Golden-Armed Race said, and Zhao Feng couldn''t completely believe them. If there was any danger at all, he would immediately use the Misty Spatial World and leave.

 1186 God Sealing Stone

    Chapter 1186 - God Sealing Stone


    Seeing that Zhao Feng had agreed, the Golden-Armed Race trio revealed joyful expressions.


    The azure-robed elder wasn''t a body cultivator, so he would be useless in the Forest of Death. Thus, Zhao Feng told him to wait at the border.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng said.


    The Golden-Armed Race trio had spent a lot of effort to get this far. They formed their plan the first time they met Zhao Feng, but they didn''t immediately tell him about it because they wanted to maintain a good relationship.


    "These are some Divine Power Pills that the patriarch prepared. It can increase one''s power to another level!" Yu Hen took out several pills from a bottle and handed them to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng took the pills with some hesitation.


    "I said that I would guarantee Brother Zhao''s safety to the center of the Forest of Death!" Yu Hen took out a few more pills and gave them to the other two from the Golden-Armed Race.


    Zhao Feng instantly felt that the physical force radiating from the Golden-Armed Race trio become stronger. Zhao Feng ate the pill and felt a fierce force travel through his limbs and body.


    "This pill is probably very expensive!" Zhao Feng smiled and said. There was nothing wrong with these pills.


    At this moment, he could defeat Rank Two True Gods and fight against Rank Three True Gods with his physical strength alone.


    The Divine Power Pill didn''t just increase Zhao Feng''s power for a short amount of time; it was also of great help to Zhao Feng''s lifeforce, and his Sacred Lightning Body started showing signs of breaking through.


    "It''s nothing compared to the divine weapon in the Forest of Death!" Yu Hen''s tone was slightly impatient.


    Teng! Teng!


    The group of four headed toward the center of the Forest of Death.


    Wu~~~~


    Terrifying howls started to sound just as they progressed forward.


    Whoosh!


    With a flash of black, a terrifying ancient race creature appeared before the group.


    Apart from their own strength, the ancient races in the Forest of Death all had an air of Death as well. Maybe this was why they stayed in the Forest of Death forever. However, their consciousnesses weren''t clear, and they only knew about killing, so it wasn''t very hard for the group to deal with it.


    "Go!" Yu Hen roared in a deep voice as he charged out.


    The Golden-Armed Race was considered a body-strengthening race, and Yu Hen had made preparations from the start. The trio had all cultivated their bodies to an extremely high level. Amongst them, the tall male had the strongest body; it was even slightly stronger than Zhao Feng''s Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body.


    "Kill!" The four soon finished off this beast.


    "Big brother, there''s a skeleton there!" the female yelled. The Golden-Armed Race trio arrived next to the skeleton and took its items away.


    "Brother Zhao, don''t laugh at us. The skeletons here are mainly from the people that entered this place in the past and were killed by the air of Death. They have many good items on them!" Yu Hen said to Zhao Feng, and he nodded his head.


    Places that contained great danger also contained great fortune. Strong experts had definitely entered this place in the past, and since they had never returned, it warned others not to enter the Forest of Death easily.


    Zhao Feng then looked over and saw many skeletons and interspatial dimensions on the way.


    However, in comparison to the fortune, there was more danger. They would meet ancient races at almost every moment. The closer they got to the center of the Forest of Death, the great the numbers of these beasts. If it wasn''t for the help of the Divine Power Pill, the four probably wouldn''t have been able to continue.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng realized something; many body cultivators had entered the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. There were Rank Four and maybe even Rank Five True God body cultivators.


    Normally speaking, a body-strengthening expert with a higher cultivation would increase the chances of the Golden-Armed Race successfully obtaining the divine weapon. However, what the Golden-Armed Race trio needed was someone with a strong body but a weak cultivation so that the three of them would have the advantage. In their eyes, Zhao Feng fitted the criteria perfectly; he wasn''t their match inside the Forest of Death or outside. Of course, this was just what they thought.


    The four finally managed to enter the center region with the help of the Divine Power Pills and their physical strength.


    "Brother Zhao, you can relax now. Now that we have reached this place, the ancient races won''t appear anymore!" Yu Hen laughed with excitement. The Golden-Armed Race trio then headed forward, and Zhao Feng followed closely behind them.


    The closer they got to the center, the darker the mist of Death. If someone used other powers here, the erosion from the mist of Death would become faster, killing them quickly.


    A giant black stone soon appeared before the group. Countless profound and unique lines were drawn around the giant stone and radiated a majestic power that suppressed Heaven and Earth.


    Zhao Feng felt that it was extremely hard to use any power within his body when he got close to this giant stone.


    "This is the God Sealing Stone?" Zhao Feng revealed a surprised look.


    The God Sealing Stone was a treasure of the God Sealing Race, which was ranked 14th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and it could suppress all treasures in the world. However, at this moment, the surface of the God Sealing Stone was radiating a heavy air of Death, as if it had been eroded.


    What kind of divine weapon was being suppressed that it could even erode the God Sealing Stone? Within several dozen millennia, the divine weapon underneath would be able to fully erode the God Sealing Stone.


    Of course, this might also be because the grade of this particular God Sealing Stone wasn''t high enough. The God Sealing Race had experts of different levels, and that was the same with God Sealing Stones.


    "Brother Yu, how are you planning to control the divine weapon under this God Sealing Stone? It''s very strong." Zhao Feng asked with a solemn expression.


    This terrifying divine weapon could even erode the God Sealing Stone. Once it was taken out, how would the Golden-Armed Race control it?


    "Brother Zhao, don''t worry. The divine weapon beneath the God Sealing Stone should be busy fighting against the God Sealing Stone and should be very weak right now. It''s not very hard to control it after we take it out!" Yu Hen said with a smile.


    "What do we need to do?" Zhao Feng asked.


    Yu Hen flipped his right hand, and various weapons and resources containing the Intent of Death appeared in his hand. The value of these materials and weapons wasn''t lower than some of the treasures Zhao Feng had taken from the Phoenix Nest. It seemed like Yu Hen''s lineage had prepared a lot for this divine weapon in the Forest of Death.


    "The God Sealing Stone has been fighting against the divine weapon for a very long time. Both items have lost a lot of power. These materials and weapons that contain the Intent of Death will be able to provide some power for the divine weapon below the God Sealing Stone. We can also reduce the power of the God Sealing Stone from outside!" Yu Hen told Zhao Feng what their next step was.


    "Is Young Sir Zhao not willing?" the female in pink asked with a smile.


    "Whether I''m willing or not doesn''t matter, right? You wouldn''t let me leave anyway. Besides, I do want to use the power of this divine weapon to get rid of the Sky Water Yao Race!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    Zhao Feng wanted this divine weapon as well. Besides, he had some hidden cards, so he wasn''t scared of the Golden-Armed Race trio. It would be very good if he could use these three to obtain the divine weapon below the God Sealing Stone for himself.


    "Then, let''s start!" Yu Hen immediately started to take action. He spread the items containing the Intent of Death around the God Sealing Stone.


    As expected, an invisible surge of power started to erode the God Sealing Stone.


    "Come with me!"


    Zhao Feng followed the Golden-Armed Race trio to the top of the God Sealing Stone. Yu Hen took out a white jade slip that had many profound lines on it, and it gave off a mystic aura.


    Pa!


    Yu Hen stuck this jade slip onto the God Sealing Stone.


    "This is a jade slip crafted by my ancestor. We can attack this jade slip, and it''ll increase our power!" Yu Hen explained to Zhao Feng.


    The skills that powerful True Gods have up their sleeves are immeasurable! Zhao Feng didn''t dare to underestimate any of them. He had seen mysterious methods from the experts of the Gulong Zone in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, and Sky Feather Island was just a corner in the edge of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Zhao Feng wasn''t experienced enough.


    Bam!


    The quartet attacked this white jade slip together. A strong surge of power came from the jade slip and charged toward the God Sealing Stone.


    Weng~~~


    Wisps of Death Intent around the God Sealing Stone started to erode it faster. With the combined forces, the power of the God Sealing Stone started to become weaker.


    "Stop! Let the divine weapon break through the suppression of the God Sealing Stone by itself now!" Yu Hen took the jade slip back.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Explosions sounded from beneath the God Sealing Stone. A gap appeared in the God Sealing Stone, and surges of the mist of Death started to appear.


    "The divine weapon is about to come out!" Zhao Feng''s eyes moved.


    "Brother Zhao, it''s time for you to come into play!" Yu Hen on the side suddenly spoke as he revealed a cunning and cruel smile.


    Shua!


    A silver jade slip that radiated a unique spatial Intent appeared in his hand. At the same time, the female and tall male attacked Zhao Feng.


    Under the circumstance that no one could use any other power within the Forest of Death, Zhao Feng wasn''t the match for the Golden-Armed Race trio. Furthermore, these three people had used their divine weapons in order to suppress Zhao Feng and disregarded the erosion from the air of Death.


    "Brother Zhao, give your life to us!" Yu Hen smiled cruelly and spoke as he led the attack.


    Whoosh!


    Right at this moment, Zhao Feng waved his right hand, and a man covered in black scales appeared. Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon both used their Divine Power without a care for the air of Death and clashed against the Golden-Armed Race.


    The Golden-Armed Race trio had grim expressions when they saw Zhao Feng with more hidden cards. The instant they clashed, they could feel that this male in black scales didn''t just have strong physical power ¨C his bloodline was terrifying as well.


    "My jade slip!" Yu Hen suddenly exclaimed as the jade slip he took out had disappeared.


    Miao miao!


    Right at this moment, a black ripple appeared behind Yu Hen and his chest was critically wounded.


    Boom!


    At the same time, Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon charged forward and punched fiercely toward Yu Hen, sending him flying.


    Pa!


    A dark silver light flashed as the silver jade slip was placed on Yu Hen.


    "Don''t-!" a scream sounded as a spatial power enveloped Yu Hen''s body and sent him through the gap into the dimension sealed by the God Sealing Stone.


    "Hahaha, the power of this divine power is extremely weak after fighting against the God Sealing Stone after so long. The Golden-Armed Race wanted to sacrifice your life in order to recover some of its power!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s horrifying face smiled wickedly as it revealed what the Golden-Armed Race trio was thinking.


    In their eyes, Zhao Feng had lost his worth now, so it was better to use his life to help recover some of the divine weapon''s power.


    Miao miao!


    The little thieving cat stood on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and looked at the God Sealing Stone as it threw several old bronze coins into the air.

 1187 Divine Weapon of Death

    Chapter 1187 - Divine Weapon of Death


    A member of the Sky Water Yao Race was currently outside the Forest of Death.


    "They''ve been in there for so long already. That brat must have died!" the person from the Sky Water Yao Race said with a cold laugh. However, he still needed to stay here for one more day due to orders.


    Boom!


    Right at this moment, a terrifying Intent of Death suddenly appeared within the forest that was covered by a mist of Death.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The mist of Death surrounding the center of the forest started to move and transform into a giant whirlpool, spreading Intent of Death in every direction.


    This scene obviously attracted everyone currently around the Forest of Death. These people didn''t dare to do anything rash because all of this was too terrifying.


    In addition, since the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension had opened for such a long time already, some of the stronger forces had already gathered together and headed toward other places in order to obtain greater fortune. Therefore, most of the people near the Forest of Death were Quasi-Gods, Rank Two True Gods, and Rank Three True Gods.


    A purple-blue figure appeared behind some rocks a hundred miles away from the Forest of Death.


    "What''s with this sudden change in the Forest of Death?" Little Ling was very surprised. Even she thought that Zhao Feng had died after being in the Forest of Death for such a long time and was ready to go back and tell the others what happened, the sudden change in the Forest of Death gave her a weird feeling that Zhao Feng might still be alive.


    ¡­


    In the center of the Forest of Death, the terrifying cries of ghosts sounded from the gaps and flaws in the seal below the God Sealing Stone.


    Hu~~


    The mist of Death covered the God Sealing Stone and kept on eroding it.


    On the side, the two remaining Golden-Armed Race members looked at Zhao Feng in fear and didn''t know what to do. They didn''t think that Zhao Feng would take out a hidden card they had never seen at the last moment and force them all back, then send Yu Hen into the God Sealing Stone.


    They originally just wanted to find someone with good physical strength but low cultivation so they could suppress this person when the time came. They didn''t expect Zhao Feng to have hidden himself so deeply. The dragon-scaled male next to him was even more unfathomable, and yet Zhao Feng seemed to be the leader.


    Go! This thought surfaced in both of their minds. They definitely wouldn''t be able to take the divine weapon at this point, and Zhao Feng could easily kill them.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Golden-Armed Race didn''t bother with the erosion from the mist of Death anymore and circulated a wisp of Divine Power to run.


    "Master, we''re not going to do anything about them?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon asked.


    "They will die!" Zhao Feng had an emotionless expression, as if everything was under his control. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t know what this sentence meant, but since Zhao Feng didn''t care, it was too lazy to care either.


    "Master is very lucky and managed to meet such fortune!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said with jealousy.


    According to its guesses, the divine weapon below the God Sealing Stone might very likely be a high-grade or even a peak-grade divine weapon. Even the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t have such a terrifying divine weapon at its peak. Zhao Feng was only at the peak stages of the Mystic Light Realm but could already meet such fortune.


    However, it wasn''t going to be easy to use the power of such a strong divine weapon, especially since it was wicked and evil.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two figures suddenly came over. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon looked over and saw that it was Zhao Wan and Zhao Wang. It immediately knew what Zhao Feng meant a moment ago; the Golden-Armed Race duo that just ran away was probably killed by these two.


    In reality, before they even arrived at Phoenix Forest, Zhao Feng had Zhao Wan and Zhao Wang leave the main territory. After all, it was extremely dangerous for Zhao Feng to act outside his territory, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the little thieving cat alone weren''t enough.


    "What a terrifying divine weapon of Death!" Zhao Wang exclaimed as he looked at the God Sealing Stone. He had the Eye of Death and had comprehended the Intent of Death, so he could clearly sense the terrifying Intent of Death beneath the God Sealing Stone. This Intent of Death was far superior and more profound than his own.


    "Move back and get ready to take action. We will leave when we obtain the divine weapon!" Zhao Feng said in a low tone, and everyone retreated a certain distance.


    Boom!


    The power of the seal around the God Sealing Stone was hit by a strong surge of power. Zhao Feng and company felt as if countless ghosts were roaring and trying to break out. Their hearts shook just by looking at it from afar.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Cracks started to appear on the God Sealing Stone, and they extended in every direction.


    Boom!


    A surge of Death power landed on the God Sealing Stone, and the entire God Sealing Stone split apart. This power of Death, which seemed able to destroy everything, rose into the sky. Even the air itself seemed to be destroyed.


    It was a good thing that Zhao Feng and company had retreated some distance, or else this surge of Death power would have turned them into a pile of bones.


    However, they knew that the surge of power just now most likely used up all of the divine weapon''s power.


    Whoosh!


    A black figure charged out from the dark abyss of Death.


    "Where do you think you''re going!?" Zhao Feng immediately circulated his God Eye, and a bottomless purple whirlpool locked onto the black figured and started absorbing its soul.


    This divine weapon had its own consciousness and could move. Since it had its own consciousness, that meant that Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye would be effective against it.


    Weng~~


    The black figure stopped in the air and revealed its appearance. It was a pitch-black staff the length of a human. There were countless words written on it, and it gave off a dim evil feeling. On top of the staff was a snarling black claw. In the center of the claw was a black eye that was similar to the Eye of Death.


    Sou! Sou! Sou!


    At the same time, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Wang, and Zhao Wan flew toward the staff. The trio immediately used soul attacks to damage the black staff''s Soul Intent.


    Weng~ Weng~~


    This black staff was already extremely weak, and it was now being stopped by Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye while the other three attacked it. This caused the black staff to start trembling.


    "Come!" Zhao Feng increased the power of the Gaze of the God Eye and sucked it into the dimension of his left eye.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng said in a deep tone as he prepared to use the Misty Spatial World and leave with everyone, but he realized that the Misty Spatial World''s ability couldn''t be used here.


    At this moment, the mist of Death surrounding this area was dissipating and fading away. Many people were starting to charge into the Forest of Death.


    "These God Sealing Stones¡­" Zhao Feng''s gaze landed on the God Sealing Stone that was now in pieces. The value of the complete God Sealing Stone wouldn''t be lower than this black staff. Even though it was now in pieces, its sealing power was still there. This was why Zhao Feng couldn''t use the power of the Misty Spatial World.


    Shua!


    With a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng took the God Sealing Stones.


    Weng~ Shua!


    In the next instant, Zhao Feng, Zhao Wang, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon disappeared with a flash of silver light while Zhao Wan retreated back into the black mist.


    ¡­


    On the peak of a mountain at the edge of the Ancient Dream Realm:


    Weng~~ Shua!


    The figures of Zhao Feng and company appeared as silver light flashed.


    Zhao Feng remained motionless after returning safely; his thoughts were focused on Zhao Wan. He needed to make sure that Zhao Wan could leave the Forest of Death safely.


    The reason why Zhao Feng had Zhao Wan stay there was because both he and Zhao Wan needed to increase their strength quickly. Leaving Zhao Wan behind with the other experts could allow him to gather intel. With Zhao Wan''s current abilities and the help of the other ancient races, there was no danger in just gathering intel.


    "Your fortune is here!" Zhao Feng revealed a faint smile toward Zhao Wang.


    "That''s right, with this divine weapon, my strength will be able to increase dramatically even if I can''t control its power right now!" Zhao Wan revealed a deadly smile.


    One''s personality and attitude would change depending on what Dao they cultivated. Zhao Wang cultivated the Dao of Death, so he looked like a cold and cruel demonic sovereign.


    Zhao Feng first helped Zhao Wang refine this black staff.


    The black staff in the dimension of Zhao Feng''s God Eye could do nothing right now. It was as if it was still sealed by the God Sealing Stone. However, the moment the staff was taken out, it gave off a profound Intent of Death and tried to escape from Zhao Feng''s hand.


    Divine weapons needed to recognize their masters. This black staff obviously didn''t want to stay in the hands of a weakling like Zhao Feng.


    Hu~~


    Right at this moment, Zhao Wang circulated the Eye of Death and sucked away the power of Death radiating from the pitch-black staff, and he comprehended the Intent of Death at the same time.


    Weng~~


    The black staff shook for a moment after sensing the Eye of Death, then tried to escape from Zhao Feng. It was obvious that, even though Zhao Wang had the Eye of Death, the black staff still didn''t care too much.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Without saying anything else, Zhao Feng circulated his power of God Tribulation Lightning and started to bombard it.


    If it was at its peak power, this black staff wouldn''t be scared of this Tribulation Lightning, but right now, it was too weak, so it couldn''t withstand the force from the Tribulation Lightning.


    Zhao Feng then sucked the black staff back into the dimension of his left eye after an hour of being locked in a stalemate.


    Zhao Wang entered seclusion. It was obvious that he would gain limitless benefits from just interacting with this staff. When he was stronger, he would definitely be able to refine this divine weapon of Death.


    Zhao Feng also entered seclusion after Zhao Wang left.


    Shua! Shua!


    Many resources appeared in front of Zhao Feng, including cultivation resources of the Wind, Lightning, and Metal elements. The feathers of the Phoenix-Tailed Bird were also present.


    Zhao Feng''s first thought circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and cultivated the Metal of Wind Lightning.


    The second of his thoughts used the five elements of Wind Lightning and the power of God Tribulation Lightning to refine his Sacred Lightning Body.


    The third of his thoughts was used to inspect the tail feathers.


    "These tail feathers contain the bloodline power of the Phoenix-Tailed Birds. The flames contain the essence of the Phoenix-Tailed Birds¡­." Zhao Feng''s heart shook as he inspected the three tail feathers in front of him. They were scarlet, orange, and purple respectively.


    Zhao Feng found that the characteristics of these three flames were different. The scarlet fire was chaotic and destructive, the orange flame was fiery hot like it could melt through anything, and the purple flame contained a type of power that could damage the soul.


    "My Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline will be able to reach new heights if I use these three tail feathers to refine it!"


    These three tail feathers could allow Zhao Feng''s bloodline to grow stronger rapidly. At the same time, these three tail feathers contained many healing properties that were of great help to Zhao Feng''s body and state of existence.

 1188 Level One Intent of Fire

    Chapter 1188 - Level One Intent of Fire


    Fire, lightning, and golden light flashed on the peak of a mountain. It was extremely ferocious. A sitting figure could be faintly seen amidst this scenery. Many multi-colored items floated in front of him.


    Even Rank Four True Gods would want these treasures floating in front of Zhao Feng. The ferocious scenery was caused by Zhao Feng using them to cultivate.


    Zhao Feng''s overall strength increased dramatically from the large amount of resources.


    Hu~~ Weng~~


    A scarlet-golden glass-like fire burned across Zhao Feng''s body.


    Weng~ Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s scarlet-golden glass-like body released a scorching blood-colored fire.


    Hu!


    The three tail feathers in front of Zhao Feng quickly merged into Zhao Feng''s burning flames. At the same time, the bloodline power within these tail feathers entered his body and blood.


    Voom!


    The strong surge of bloodline power quickly merged into Zhao Feng''s body and caused his Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline to boil. His bloodline clashed with the ancient bloodline that had just entered.


    "Such a big reaction!" Zhao Feng''s heart shook.


    In the past, the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline only released a surge of heat when it refined other ancient bloodlines. The reason why the reaction was so strong this time was perhaps because there were too many similarities between the Phoenix-Tailed Bird bloodline and the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline, or perhaps the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race''s bloodline was too strong.


    What Zhao Feng needed to do was control the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline and devour the bloodline power of the Phoenix-Tailed Bird bloodline.


    Hu~~


    The fire around Zhao Feng became stronger and stronger, as if he was going to be reborn. He was like a flaming demonic sovereign. Eventually, the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline within Zhao Feng''s body completely devoured the Phoenix-Tailed Bird bloodline.


    Hu~~


    The bloodline within Zhao Feng''s body was like boiling water, and it started to rise.


    Whoom!


    The flames around Zhao Feng''s body burned with a frenzy. They were blood-red, and the surge of bloodline aura was more forceful and hotter than ever before.


    Weng!


    The faint image of a Phoenix-Tailed Bird could be seen behind Zhao Feng''s flaming back. The ancient beasts nearby all suddenly felt their bloodlines start to boil, and they were instantly filled with fear and panic.


    "Looks like my Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline has undergone an evolution!" Zhao Feng said in a light tone with excitement. He didn''t know what rank of Ten Thousand Ancient Races he could compare it to now.


    "I''ll test it!" Zhao Feng stood up. He gave off a domineering and wild aura.


    Hu~~


    A scarlet chaotic flame suddenly surrounded Zhao Feng''s hand after he circulated the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng punched out.


    Boom! Peng!


    A scarlet fist-light shot out like a fireball and lit up the nearby sky.


    "What power! The fire has become much stronger!"


    Zhao Feng felt the giant firehall in front of him.


    Weng~~


    This giant fireball kept on burning in the air, as if it would never disappear.


    "Hm?" Zhao Feng felt a slight disturbance and moved his Intent. The fireball instantly exploded and turned into an ocean of flame, but it didn''t extinguish,


    "This feeling¡­ could it be that my Intent of Fire has reached Level One?" Zhao Feng felt that his Intent could control the flames that he had released. He could absorb the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the air and turn it into the power of Fire for his own use.


    "I didn''t think that the fusion of the Phoenix-Tailed Bird bloodline and Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline would allow my comprehension of the Intent of Fire to reach Level One!" A smile formed on Zhao Feng''s face.


    He had personally witnessed the battle-power of Hou Qing, whose Intent of Water was almost at Level One. At this moment, Zhao Feng''s Intent of Fire was truly Level One, so it was even stronger than Hou Qing''s.


    After strengthening his bloodline, Zhao Feng started to focus on the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. Although the increase in cultivation wouldn''t improve Zhao Feng''s battle-power much, his cultivation was too low and would start to restrict the growth of his battle-power.


    Whoosh!


    A flaming golden giant horn, a blood-colored flower, and a golden scale-covered fruit appeared in front of Zhao Feng. These were Zhao Feng''s most precious cultivation resources of the Dao of Metal. He had already duplicated some earlier and could now use them freely.


    Weng~~ Shu!!


    The effects of the three resources were sucked out by Zhao Feng and flowed through his body and limbs toward his Sacred Power Whirlpool. Zhao Feng''s Sacred Power Whirlpool was like a five-colored circular tablet that rotated slowly. When the medicinal properties entered the golden-colored part of the tablet, they were quickly refined and absorbed.


    Weng~~ Boom!


    The Metal of Wind Lightning Sacred Power in the golden area suddenly released a bright golden light. At the same time, golden light and the power of Wind Lightning shot out in every direction from Zhao Feng''s body.


    "My foundation of Metal of Wind Lightning is extremely solid. I will be able to break through to the peak stages after cultivating it for a bit more!" Zhao Feng murmured.


    His Metal of Wind Lightning had almost reached the peak stages. Zhao Feng continued to cultivate and only stopped when he completely absorbed the medicinal properties three days later.


    "As expected of Metal-elemental treasures. My Metal of Wind Lightning has completely consolidated and become even stronger!" Zhao Feng was surprised, but he had a big smile.


    With his current speed, his Metal of Wind Lightning would soon be able to reach maximum power. At that point in time, his Metal of Wind Lightning would be comparable to Divine Power, and he could be considered a Demigod.


    Now that his Intent of Fire had reached Level One, Zhao Feng was looking forward to the power of Lightning-Fire Obliteration if it merged with his max-power Metal of Wind Lightning.


    Hu~


    A black streak of light that gave off an aura of Death approached Zhao Feng. This person was Zhao Wang; he came once every couple days so Zhao Feng could help suppress the black staff and allow him to absorb its air of Death and comprehend the Intent of Death from it.


    Zhao Wang didn''t rush breaking through to become a Demigod, but his understanding of Death had become stronger, and his mastery of the Eye of Death was better. He didn''t need to cultivate as many things as Zhao Feng did. All Zhao Wang needed to focus on was the Intent of Death and the Eye of Death.


    However, he was the same as Zhao Feng in a certain respect; his actual strength surpassed his cultivation, and he could slay enemies with higher cultivation. He would have no trouble fighting against a Rank One True God.


    Shua!


    A whirlpool appeared in the air, and the black staff floated out from it.


    Whoosh!


    The black staff''s first reaction when it appeared was to fight back. From its point of view, if it was at its peak, just one wisp of its Death power could kill the two people in front of it, so it didn''t want to bow to Zhao Feng and Zhao Wang.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng gathered the power of God Tribulation Lightning and released it without saying anything else.


    The black staff became a bit more obedient after the bombardment of God Tribulation Lightning. Zhao Wang then circulated the Eye of Death and calmly absorbed the air of Death.


    A couple hours later, the air of Death coming from Zhao Wang''s body became stronger and stronger, and the aura of Death had no effect on him.


    Weng~~ Whoosh!


    Zhao Wang''s Eye of Death suddenly began to spin faster, and a layer of black mist of Death slowly appeared in the surroundings.


    "Not bad, this divine weapon of Death is not simple. It even helped Zhao Wang''s Intent of Death reach Level One!" Zhao Feng was very satisfied. The risk taken to obtain this divine weapon was worth it.


    Zhao Feng''s two clones both had strong battle-power. If all three of them fought together, they would have perfect teamwork, and they might even be able to defeat a Rank Three True God in a head-on battle.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Wang left after half a day of comprehension to cultivate by himself.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng put the black staff back into the dimension of his God Eye.


    Even Zhao Feng couldn''t help but want to comprehend the Intent of Death and use this divine weapon since it was so strong. With his comprehension skills, it shouldn''t be too hard to comprehend the Intent of Death. However, the Intent of Death was an offensive Intent, and Zhao Feng already had had the Intents of Fire, Lightning, and Metal for offense. Besides, Zhao Wang had the Eye of Death, so this black staff was more suitable for him.


    "That''s right, there''s also the God Sealing Stone!"


    When mentioning the black staff, it made Zhao Feng remember the God Sealing Stone that suppressed it.


    Shua!


    Zhao Feng came out from the Misty Spatial World and took the broken pieces of the God Sealing Stone.


    Weng~~


    An invisible sealing power spread out. Any Intent or power was restricted and unable to release their full power.


    "What a waste of such a treasure!" Zhao Feng faintly shook his head and sighed.


    According to the Golden-Armed Race, the God Sealing Stone was a treasure that represented the God Sealing Race, which was ranked 14th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. This God Sealing Stone could even seal the terrifying black staff. If Zhao Feng could use it to battle, the opponent wouldn''t be able to use any power at all and would just be slaughtered by him.


    Thinking up to there, Zhao Feng was extremely unwilling to give up. There had to be something of value on the God Sealing Stone.


    "Although the God Sealing Stone is broken, the sealing power is still there. I just can''t use it. After all, I''m not from the God Sealing Race," Zhao Feng murmured.


    If he was from the God Sealing Race, he might be able to reforge this God Sealing Stone back into one piece again. Perhaps if Zhao Feng comprehended the Intent of Sealing, he could use it. Apart from that, he could also use these broken God Sealing Stone pieces to craft a sealing array, but Zhao Feng wouldn''t dare to reveal such a treasure so easily.


    "That means that I''ll have to comprehend the Intent of Sealing!" Zhao Feng felt slightly helpless, but this was the only thing he could do. He had seen the power of the God Sealing Stone before; this God Sealing Stone could even stop enemies from teleporting or moving through space.


    Zhao Feng grabbed two pieces of God Sealing Stone and sat down as he put his consciousness into the God Sealing Stone.


    "The power of sealing is so profound!" Zhao Feng felt the power of the seal. It was very different from the five elements or the Dao of Wind Lightning.


    Weng~


    Zhao Feng opened his God''s Spiritual Eye to improve his reaction speed and comprehension ability. At the same time, his golden eye started to analyze the structure of the God Sealing Stone.


    With the help of the two pieces, Zhao Feng was soon able to merge into the world of sealing, and he caught a wisp of the Intent of Sealing.

 1189 Spacetime God Eye

    Chapter 1189 - Spacetime God Eye


    While cultivating, Zhao Feng would occasionally communicate with Zhao Wan to obtain intelligence reports.


    At present, the map of the Ancient Dream Realm in Zhao Feng''s mind was incredibly large. This was the product created from countless years of effort on the part of the many factions in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    On this day, Zhao Feng learned that, besides the factions from the Gulong Zone, some factions from the Tianyun Zone had also entered the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. The number of people here was gradually climbing.


    "For the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension that only opens once every ten thousand years to open in advance might have been because of me!" Zhao Feng firmly believed that he was the reason.


    However, if the secret dimension could open early, it might also be able to close early, and this crucial point might also depend on Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, the outside experts were mostly operating on the perimeter, but as more people came, their group''s fighting power would increase, and they would venture deeper into the region in search of even greater fortune.


    The majority of these factions were five-star factions. It would be very difficult for Zhao Feng to harm anyone even if he managed to mingle his way into one of their groups, and things would go very poorly for him if he was discovered. Upon understanding this, Zhao Feng decided to just continue cultivating, primarily focusing on the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and comprehending the God Sealing Stone.


    Zhao Feng could currently use a tiny sliver of sealing power.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, imprinting a transparent inscription onto the air. An ancient Yao bird that had been coincidentally flying through this area suddenly plunged from the sky.


    Caw!


    The Yao bird was scared out of its wits. Even though it was a bird, it somehow couldn''t fly all of a sudden! Fortunately for it, after falling for a little while, it regained the ability to fly and hurriedly fled this bizarre area.


    One day, Zhao Wan sent Zhao Feng a new piece of information, one regarding the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.


    "God Realm Sacred Land, Heaven Devouring Sacred Land?"


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had ever heard the term God Realm Sacred Land.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng immediately summoned the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Little Black, what is a God Realm Sacred Land?" Zhao Feng directly asked. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would almost definitely know the answer.


    "Haha, Master, you definitely believe that the strongest factions in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods are the five-star factions, right?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave a smug smile.


    "Is that not the case?" Zhao Feng was astonished. In his mind, he had already taken to the concept that five-star factions were the strongest of all.


    "The Gulong Zone has three five-star factions, ten-some four-star peak factions, even more four-and-a-half-star factions, and innumerable four-star factions, but the god ruling all these factions is the God Realm Sacred Land of the Gulong Zone ¨C the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed an expression of respect and yearning. In its mind, a God Realm Sacred Land was the god of a world and could not be defied.


    "The Gulong Zone''s Heaven Devouring Sacred Land was established by the Heaven Devouring Race!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon continued.


    "Heaven Devouring Race, ranked 17th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!" Information regarding the Heaven Devouring Race emerged in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Does the Spiritual Race also have a God Realm Sacred Land?" Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s description made Zhao Feng think that God Realm Sacred Lands were the strongest existences in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Since the Spiritual Race was ranked 19th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, would it also have a God Realm Sacred Land? If that was the case, how would Zhao Feng find Zhao Yufei? God Realm Sacred Lands were enormous, supreme existences that ruled over entire zones.


    "Just because one''s bloodline is strong doesn''t automatically mean one is powerful. Based on what I remember, the Spiritual Race does not have a God Realm Sacred Land!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon thought for a few moments before replying.


    Zhao Feng nodded, acknowledging the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s words. A strong bloodline did not necessarily translate into a corresponding level of strength. A bloodline could give one a good foundation, but it could not decide one''s future. Zhao Feng couldn''t even keep count of all the experts he had beaten who had better bloodlines than he did.


    "Just cultivate here. You can take the resources, but don''t completely destroy them!" Zhao Feng warned.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s bloodline caused it to have a fondness for destroying everything and obtaining strength from this destruction. The Ancient Dream Realm was such a fine place with such wonderful resources, so how could he allow the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon to destroy it?


    "Many thanks, Master!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon revealed an excited expression. It had no idea how Zhao Feng could enter the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, and if Zhao Feng wasn''t willing to say, it would never know.


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body vanished. Zhao Feng had finally permitted it to move freely, and in a secret dimension brimming with fortune at that. It would be strange if the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t make full use of this opportunity.


    Once the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon disappeared, Zhao Feng called over Zhao Wang.


    "I''m going to begin making a third Soul Clone. Stand guard for me here!" Zhao Feng ordered.


    He had long ago finished cultivating the third level of the Soul Splitting Technique. In this period of time, he had condensed his Soul Intent, bringing it up to the level of a peak Rank One True God, before deciding to split it again.


    In his God Eye dimension, he still had an Eye of Samsara, but this eye controlled only the Samsara of Life and did not have any fighting ability. But even though this was the case, the Samsara of Life was extremely important to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng already had the powerful fighting forces of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Wan, and Zhao Wang under his command, so having one more powerful fighting force would not affect him too much. However, the uses of the Eye of the Samsara of Life were exactly what he wanted.


    Based on what Zhao Feng understood, the Samsara of Life had two uses: the first was to sense whether certain people had reincarnated or not, and the second was to revive shattered souls, essentially resurrecting them.


    "Even a shattered soul can be brought back to life!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed with excitement.


    This terrifying ability was the true use of the Eye of the Samsara of Life. If one of Zhao Feng''s clones could grasp this ability, then if Zhao Feng was ever killed in the future, the clone could resurrect him.


    However, the prerequisite was that the clone with the Eye of Samsara needed to be strong enough. This was because Zhao Feng''s soul was special; it was a Lightning Soul Body with the God''s Spiritual Eye embedded into it.


    Zhao Feng used Earth Escape and traveled deep underground, where he began to use the third level of the Soul Splitting Technique to split his soul.


    After splitting his soul twice, Zhao Feng had a great deal of experience and had developed a resistance to that pain.


    Ten days later, Zhao Feng finished the soul-splitting. Zhao Feng then followed the method he had used with Zhao Wan, creating for the third clone an extremely high-class body using a large amount of precious ancient resources and ancient blood.


    "I give the Eye of Samsara to you! Merge with it!" Zhao Feng gave the Eye of Samsara and the Soul Eye Refining Technique to the third clone.


    The third clone was currently too weak to be of any use, so Zhao Feng had it remain here and cultivate to raise its level.


    Rumble!


    Zhao Feng used Earth Escape to burrow out of the ground.


    "Eh? Zhao Wan sent me some more news!" As Zhao Feng sensed the information in his mind, his eyes filled with shock.


    The information that Zhao Wan had sent this time said that, besides the powers of the Gulong Zone and the Tianyun Zone, the factions from another major zone of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had entered the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. This zone was called the Yangling Zone, and it was very far from the Gulong Zone. The factions from the Yangling Zone were only able to enter the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension because of the God Realm Sacred Land.


    From what the experts of the Yangling Zone said, it was the supreme god of the Yangling Zone, the Spacetime God! He had used his Spacetime God Eye to go against the laws of nature and connect the factions of the Yangling Zone to the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension.


    The Spacetime God Eye!


    This was the first time since he arrived at the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods that Zhao Feng had heard a rumor regarding the Eight Great God Eyes.


    Of the eighteen zones in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, only the Gulong Zone and the adjacent Tianyun Zone were able to connect to the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, but the Spacetime God used his incredible abilities to forcefully connect the Yangling Zone to the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. This was someone who truly deserved the title of Spacetime God.


    "This kind of divine ability could only be accomplished through the Spacetime Eye!"


    Zhao Feng found it impossible to calm down. He never imagined that the Spacetime God Eye would be so powerful. If this was the case, the other seven God Eyes also wouldn''t be normal.


    Thump thump! Thump thump!


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye began to beat, exuding an indescribable excitement and desire to battle.


    "There will come a day when I will see the Eight Great God Eyes myself!" Zhao Feng''s eyes sparkled.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng came to the peak of the mountain where he had secluded himself, and he took some soul materials to heal the damage caused by splitting his soul.


    At his current level, Zhao Feng could minimize how much his soul was weakened by the splitting, but he could not prevent all the damage.


    It didn''t take long before Zhao Feng completely healed his soul. At this time, Zhao Wan sent him another urgent message, one that made Zhao Feng stand up and tremble all over.


    "I originally planned to wait until I became a Demigod before moving, but now it seems that I should go first and break through later!" Zhao Feng''s eyes turned gloomy, a hint of urgency in their depths.


    With so many precious resources at his disposal, Zhao Feng was able to very smoothly cultivate the Metal of Wind Lightning. Coupled with the fact that his foundation was very stable, Zhao Feng could break through into a perfect state.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, I''m sending you a map and a target location. Go there and wait for me!" Zhao Feng immediately sent a message to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon through the Dark Heart Seal.


    Thwish!


    In a dark streak of light, Zhao Wang arrived at Zhao Feng''s side. Since Zhao Wang had already reached Level One of Death Intent, his cultivation speed had greatly increased. He was now at the Demigod level and would prove useful.


    "Zhao Wang, let''s go!" Zhao Feng placed Zhao Wang and his ancient beast horde into the Misty Spatial World and vanished in a stream of faint golden light.


    After being gone for a bit less than a month, Zhao Feng once more arrived at Phoenix Forest, where several minor powers were still trying to seek out treasure from the phoenix nest. It only took a little while longer for Zhao Feng to see the Forest of Death.


    The Forest of Death was no longer the same forest, as the black fog of death and the sealing energy had both faded away, leaving only bare and withered trees. But there were still quite a few people inside, seeking treasure. After all, countless experts had once entered this place and died there.


    Zhao Feng cared little for this and continued onward.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng stopped in the middle of the air, a helpless expression on his face. Down below, a group was headed in some direction, and a certain person in this group had also stopped, just like Zhao Feng.


    This person was Xi Feng, but he no longer had that noble face that could disregard all things. It was a face of shock that was currently staring in disbelief at Zhao Feng.


    How can this be? How did Zhao Feng appear in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension!?


    Xi Feng had gotten into the Golden Jade Race through his master, the Sky Feather Island Lord, and managed to luckily obtain an entry spot. But Zhao Feng was a nobody, someone backed by the weak Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. How could he also appear in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension!?


    "Since we''ve met here, then let today be the day of your death!" Zhao Feng muttered to himself, killing intent surging from his body.


    Killing Xi Feng was not solely because he was the Sky Feather Island Lord''s disciple. More importantly, Xi Feng recognized Zhao Feng, and if he was to tell the Sky Feather Island Lord of what he saw here, the Sky Feather Island Lord would probably be able to instantly guess that Zhao Feng could enter the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension whenever he wished.

 1190 Killing Xi Feng

    Chapter 1190 - Killing Xi Feng


    Since Xi Feng had seen Zhao Feng in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, Zhao Feng could not let him leave alive. Once Xi Feng told the Sky Feather Island Lord about this, the Island Lord would definitely guess that Zhao Feng could enter the secret dimension whenever he wished.


    If the Sky Feather Island Lord were to reveal this information to others, the entirety of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods would be after Zhao Feng. Thus, Xi Feng could not be allowed to leave the secret dimension alive. He even felt that he needed to kill Xi Feng right now to end any possibility of this secret getting out.


    "Xi Feng, what are you standing around for? Hurry and keep up!" the golden-armored man leading the Golden Jade Race coldly called out.


    "Yes!" The golden-armored man''s voice made Xi Feng tremble, and he replied out of instinct. From this, one could see how much Xi Feng respected and feared this man.


    And just like Xi Feng, many other people in the group had nothing but respect for the golden-armored man. After all, this person was the pride of the Golden Jade Race, the hope for its future ¨C Quasi-God Di Lin.


    Swish!


    At this moment, a faint stream of golden light streaked over from the horizon, coming straight at Xi Feng.


    "What¡­ you dare!?" Xi Feng''s face grimaced in shock. Zhao Feng had unexpectedly chosen to attack him immediately, and he could even sense a hint of killing intent.


    He was still thinking about how Zhao Feng had even appeared here. Had he used a Teleportation Array and joined some four-and-a-half-star faction? But at this moment, Zhao Feng was coming to kill him alone; this was someone who simply didn''t know fear!


    Even if Xi Feng was no match for Zhao Feng personally, he was a part of the Golden Jade Race''s group. Zhao Feng''s actions were undoubtedly challenging the Golden Jade Race!


    "Good Sir, who are you? Why are you attacking my Golden Jade Race?" Quasi-God Di Lin immediately called out.


    Xi Feng showed a tinge of happiness when he saw Quasi-God Di Lin calling out. Although Di Lin didn''t like him, he at least considered Xi Feng as part of the Golden Jade Race. Quasi-God Di Lin was proud and conceited, and for his own pride and the pride of the Golden Jade Race, he would not act as a mere bystander.


    "I have a few grudges with this person. I demand his life!" Zhao Feng coldly replied.


    Kaboom!


    The golden light suddenly began to exude a searing heat, as if it had transformed into a blazing meteor.


    Thwish!


    Upon activation of the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline, Zhao Feng''s speed immediately soared.


    "What power! What a terrifying bloodline!"


    Zhao Feng''s explosion of power frightened Xi Feng so badly that his face went as white as a ghost, his entire body trembling in fear. He clearly recalled that, in their last battle, Zhao Feng''s bloodline was not very strong.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s speed was too quick. Xi Feng could only rely on the Wind Intent that he was skilled in to move a small distance.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng was swiftly at Xi Feng''s side. Using the Sacred Lightning Body and the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline, he savagely punched out.


    Bang!


    Scorching heat energy impacted directly on Xi Feng''s body.


    "Aaaaah!" With a miserable scream, Xi Feng''s body was pulverized.


    Zhao Feng was direct and lethal, choosing to immediately obliterate Xi Feng''s fleshly body. Xi Feng had not expected this, nor had the people of the Golden Jade Race around him.


    Kabooom!


    The terrifying scarlet flames set the area around Xi Feng ablaze, the blistering flames immediately devouring the remains of Xi Feng''s body.


    Thwish!


    A dark blue soul fled out from the scarlet flames.


    Although Zhao Feng''s attack was vicious, and although the burning energy of the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline had dealt some damage to Xi Feng''s soul, it was not enough to completely kill him.


    "How could this be!?" Xi Feng was stunned. He had never imagined that he wouldn''t even be capable of blocking a single attack from Zhao Feng.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    The symbols of the Tribulation Lightning on Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed, transforming into a writhing ember of Tribulation Lightning.


    Kacrack!


    A dazzling bolt of lightning exploded against Xi Feng''s soul.


    "Nooo¡­!" Xi Feng''s soul gave out a heart-chilling scream.


    The power of the Tribulation Lightning was wreaking havoc in his soul; wherever it passed, his soul would utterly vanish! In the end, Xi Feng''s soul and the power of the Tribulation Lightning vanished into the air.


    Xi Feng was dead! Not even Xi Feng had expected that his death would be so abrupt, so simple!


    "The Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline and Level One Fire Intent¡­ not bad!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Zhao Feng could have relied on the Sacred Lightning Body alone to crush Xi Feng. However, the explosive and blazing energy of the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline added on to that meant that Xi Feng stood absolutely no chance against Zhao Feng.


    Thump thump!


    All the members of the Golden Jade Race group could feel their hearts madly thumping. Even Quasi-God Di Lin, the strongest genius of the Golden Jade Race, was stunned by what just occurred. Although he could also have easily killed Xi Feng, he would have never been able to do it as easily as Zhao Feng, obliterating the body in one move and extinguishing the soul with another.


    Kaboom!


    The golden-haired man stood there like a demonic god, an unbridled tyrant, his body of scarlet glass-like flames blazing with frenzied and scorching intensity.


    At this moment, all the members of the Golden Jade Race felt like their bloodlines were burning before this man. This meant that this man''s bloodline was stronger than theirs!


    "Who are you? Why did you kill a member of my Golden Jade Race?" After some time, Quasi-God Di Lin focused his eyes and voiced his question.


    The man before him might be stronger, but this man was alone, while he had nine members of the Golden Jade Race with him, two of them being Rank Three True Gods. Zhao Feng killing a member of the Golden Jade Race right in front of them was a slap to the face of both him and the Golden Jade Race. Di Lin would naturally not remain silent.


    "This has nothing do with your Golden Jade Race. I had a grudge with him, so I took his life!" Zhao Feng indifferently looked at Quasi-God Di Lin.


    "Di Lin, just forget it. This person has an amazing talent; he''s probably the disciple of some major power. Besides, Xi Feng wasn''t really a member of the Golden Jade Race!" One of the Rank Three True Gods behind Di Lin sent him a message advising him to let the matter go.


    The golden-haired man in front of them showed not the slightest sign of fear in front of their group. This was proof that he either had an amazing background or still had more cards up his sleeve. The True God''s tens of thousands of years of experience told him that it was best to just let the matter go.


    "If Sir just kills one of the people of my Golden Jade Race like this, does this not show too little regard for others?" Quasi-God Di Lin coldly snorted and ignored the elder''s advice.


    How could anyone who had a grudge with Xi Feng be a genius from a major power? And if Zhao Feng was the genius of some powerful faction, he should have many experts protecting him. How could he possibly be traversing the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension alone? Besides that, Zhao Feng''s cultivation was far too low!


    "What do you plan to do then?" Zhao Feng coldly replied.


    Zhao Feng had killed Xi Feng with lightning-fast speed. If Xi Feng had been allowed to reveal Zhao Feng''s secrets, he would have had an even greater problem on his hands. Though this group had nine people, Zhao Feng was fast enough that none of them would be able to catch him unless they used their trump cards.


    "As long as you lower your head and admit your mistake, I will treat this matter like it never happened!" Quasi-God Di Lin swiftly replied.


    Di Lin had always been the pride of his race, adored and respected by all. But Zhao Feng had ignored his entire group and swiftly executed Xi Feng, leaving all of them stunned. This event left Quasi-God Di Lin extremely unhappy.


    But as long Zhao Feng lowered his head to him, Zhao Feng would be essentially admitting that he was Di Lin''s lesser.


    "Scram!" Zhao Feng''s brows slightly rose, and his eyes exuded cold light. Quasi-God Di Lin didn''t even like Xi Feng, nor did he care about Xi Feng''s death. He just wanted to use this occasion to raise his own reputation.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng collected the power of his bloodline to form two blindingly bright wings of golden light on his back and readied to leave.


    "Stop him!" Quasi-God Di Lin immediately shouted out and charged forward with the two Rank Three True Gods in his group.


    "Jade Light Binding!" The trio immediately used the power of their Intents.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Three golden-jade belts of light, sparkling with golden-jade radiance, shot toward Zhao Feng to hold him down.


    "Seeking death!" Zhao Feng harrumphed in extreme displeasure.


    Swish!


    With a wave of his right hand, a black-robed man and several savage ancient beasts appeared at Zhao Feng''s side. Ancient beasts that Zhao Feng would summon by themselves had the combat abilities of a Rank Two True God at the least.


    Bang!


    The beasts worked together with Zhao Wang to unleash a powerful attack that immediately destroyed the techniques used by the three members of the Golden Jade Race.


    Boom!


    The remaining power of this attack shot straight toward Quasi-God Di Lin.


    "Di Lin, watch out!" The two Rank Three elders immediately moved to block the attack for Di Lin.


    "Don''t force me to kill you!" Zhao Feng''s gaze bored like a thorn of ice into Quasi-God Di Lin''s mind.


    Swish!


    With a wave of his robe, Zhao Wang and all the other beasts disappeared.


    Thwish!


    And Zhao Feng transformed into a golden light that vanished into the distance!


    "Di Lin, I told you before, don''t provoke that man!" one of the elders immediately said.


    "I didn''t that think that he would be a beast tamer with so many ancient beasts. Moreover, that black-robed man is also not simple; he actually managed to comprehend Death Intent to Level One!" the other elder said with a sigh. It would be very difficult to find such a young and powerful beast tamer in the entire Gulong Zone.


    "All of you are truly trash!" Quasi-God Di Lin retorted through gritted teeth. If he had been traveling with the Rank Four True Gods of the race, or perhaps even the Rank Five True God Tianhua, he would have definitely been able to capture Zhao Feng.


    But even though he was furious, when Quasi-God Di Lin recalled Zhao Feng''s chilling eyes, he felt a tinge of fear. It felt like that man could take his life at any time he wished.


    "Let''s go. We should first rejoin with the main group of the Golden Jade Race. Let''s not miss out on that astounding treasure. When the time comes, if True God Tianhua is willing to help you, it will be easy for you to get revenge," the elder advised.


    He didn''t stop Quasi-God Di Lin from thinking about revenge, but if he wanted to get revenge, he needed to kill his foe with 100% certainty and make sure he was never troubled again.


    ¡­


    After killing Xi Feng and throwing off the Golden Jade Race, Zhao Feng continued on his journey. On his journey, Zhao Feng encountered quite a few groups. There were numerous people in these groups, and they all had Rank Three True Gods in them, with some of them even having Rank Four True Gods. Moreover, they all seemed to share the same destination as Zhao Feng.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but speed up. Several dozen days later, Zhao Feng arrived at a region of towering mountains.


    Zhao Feng noticed that all the nearby mountains were inhabited by various groups. In addition, the space here was extremely stable, making flight incredibly difficult. Besides that, the distant horizon was hazy and indistinct, making it impossible to see anything clearly.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng flew straight toward a low mountain.


    "Master, you''ve come!" a blue-robed old man respectfully said to him.


    Zhao Wan and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were also present.


    Upon arrival, Zhao Feng activated the see-through ability of his God''s Spiritual Eye and looked into the distance. His gaze pierced through the turbulent flow of space, eventually sighting a transparent palace towering in the void. Only half of this palace was visible, while the other half remained hidden in the void!

 1191 The Prodigies of the Sacred Lands

    Chapter 1191 - The Prodigies of the Sacred Lands


    "Everything here is due to people from the Spacetime Sacred Land." Zhao Wan looked in the same direction as Zhao Feng and commented.


    Only the experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land, who were skilled in Space Intent, could have discovered this treasure ground hidden in the void. However, it was obvious that, even with their skills, they could not bring out the entirety of the transparent palace.


    Fortunately, this palace was slowly emerging from the void on its own.


    This transparent palace had a circumference of ten thousand li, but it was completely empty. This was because it was surrounded by terrifying spatial turbulence. Zhao Feng estimated that not even Ancient God experts would dare to recklessly approach, or else they would be torn apart by the spatial turbulence.


    "There weren''t many people here at the start, but when the experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land discovered this building, they gathered all the people they could to guard the area and even prevented any outsiders from approaching. However, their actions only drew more attention to this place!"


    Zhao Wan had been in this area the entire time, so he had a rather good understanding of the situation. He added, "Later on, the people from the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land also arrived. I hear that the two groups even had a few clashes. Afterward, more and more groups of experts were attracted over. Even with the extreme authority of the two Sacred Lands, they couldn''t keep all the factions out, resulting in the situation you see now!"


    As Zhao Feng listened to Zhao Wan''s report, faint ripples of golden light appeared in his eyes as he continued to focus on the transparent palace.


    Although the palace was transparent, each of its walls was a spatial barrier. The space within the palace was also exceptionally unstable, with many areas showing tiny spatial cracks.


    "It''s all treasure!" After observing it for a long time, Zhao Feng finally exclaimed in wonder.


    The palace hall was furnished with decorations that were standard for regular halls, but each of the decorations and ornaments seemed to be made of extremely precious materials. This was only the conclusion Zhao Feng had obtained through his vision; after all, he could not sense the auras of the items from here.


    In the central hall of this palace was an obscured item, shrouded in layers of space. Not even Zhao Feng could clearly make it out.


    "Haha, it is truly a land of treasure that can amaze the world, but it will be far too difficult for Master to gain much from it!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon faintly chuckled, but it was also filled with a yearning for the treasures in the transparent palace.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could not see what was within the palace, but based on its experience, it was sure that this was a place full to bursting with wondrous treasures. A sufficiently large discovery inside might be able to turn one''s whole life around. But the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was too weak at the moment, so it did not have very high hopes.


    "That''s not guaranteed. Treasures are obtained through the intersection of opportunity and destiny. Opportunities need to be seized on one''s own, while destiny is already decided!" Zhao Feng indifferently said.


    However, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s worries had merit. All the factions gathered here possessed terrifying strength. The strongest of them were the two God Realm Sacred Lands and several large five-star powers. Any one of them could easily exterminate Zhao Feng''s group.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was slightly stunned. Zhao Feng''s confidence and spirit made it feel ashamed of its inferiority.


    "If you had allowed me to come here earlier and helped me recover my strength, we might have been able to get a few things from this place!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon grumbled.


    "It''s not like you didn''t get anything from this excursion, right?" Zhao Feng replied, neither accepting nor denying these complaints.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was capable enough to have snatched many precious resources for itself, but it still had the nerve to complain to him. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could be considered a great source of assistance when taking on this land of opportunities, but it was not the primary force.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng waved his right hand, causing Zhao Wang to appear at his side. Zhao Feng and Zhao Wang then both entered the Misty Spatial World.


    "I''ll help you control this divine weapon!" Zhao Feng took out the staff of death from his God Eye dimension. If Zhao Wang could use this death staff, he would not only increase his power in battle in general, but at crucial moments, the staff could serve as a powerful trump card that could turn the tides.


    "Refine it!" Zhao Feng handed the staff to Zhao Wang.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng activated his left eye, locking it onto the death staff. If it made any strange movements, Zhao Feng would immediately take the appropriate measures.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    Zhao Wang circulated the Divine Power of Death, pouring it into the staff of death to refine.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The death staff naturally understood what Zhao Wang wanted to do. It immediately began to tremble as it tried to resist Zhao Wang''s strength and will.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng immediately attacked it.


    Three days later, Zhao Wang managed to connect himself to the death staff and brand his soul into it.


    "The Staff of Death Curse!"


    Zhao Wang gripped the death staff, and his entire body was engulfed by a sinister black fog that would occasionally shriek with the wails of ghosts.


    Zhao Feng sensed that the aura of Zhao Wang''s body had soared. His entire body was shrouded in a black fog, and his face was demonic and sinister, like some revered warlock or god of death. The very sight of him would inspire fear.


    "The Staff of Death Curse, that''s its name?" Zhao Feng''s heart trembled.


    From the name, one could see that this staff not only contained Death Intent, but the even more profound and mysterious Curse Intent.


    "I''ll give this God Sealing Stone to you. When not using this divine weapon, use the God Sealing Stone to suppress it!" Zhao Feng took out the largest chunk of the God Sealing Stone and gave it to Zhao Wang.


    Although Zhao Wang had already refined the Staff of Death Curse, the Staff of Death Curse was now invisibly contaminating and corroding Zhao Wang''s personality and rationality. If not for the fact that the Staff of Death Curse was extremely weak, Zhao Wang might have turned completely evil while refining it, with Zhao Wang''s entire body falling under the Staff of Death Curse''s control.


    Zhao Wang took the chunk of God Sealing Stone and placed it on the Staff of Death Curse. He immediately felt the evil thoughts in his mind weaken, and his heart grew cold in fear.


    Thud!


    Zhao Wang swiftly seated himself cross-legged on the ground, both to dispel these evil thoughts and also to cultivate using the Staff of Death Curse.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng left Zhao Wang in the Misty Spatial World.


    "If the Staff of Death Curse wants to corrupt Zhao Wang, it won''t be that easy!" A faint smile formed on Zhao Feng''s face.


    The souls of Zhao Feng''s three clones were all connected to him, the original body. If anything happened to Zhao Wang''s soul, Zhao Feng and the other clones would immediately notice. If the Staff of Death Curse wanted to completely corrode Zhao Wang''s will, it would have to do the same to Zhao Feng and the other clones as well.


    "I should also break through now!" Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged in a cave.


    There were far too many experts gathered around this land of treasure. Only by breaking into the Demigod level would Zhao Feng have a chance to vie with them for these treasures. Otherwise, he would just be cannon fodder.


    Zhao Feng released the energy of his Little World to shroud him, and only then did he take out his precious resources and begin to cultivate.


    If one looked carefully, one would realize that many people were cultivating on this mountain range. Everyone had realized that this was no ordinary treasure ground. Otherwise, the experts from two God Realm Sacred Lands would not be standing guard around it. In a place with such valuable treasures, only the strong had a chance of getting their hands on anything.


    Moreover, this long and unbroken mountain range was suffused in the power of Space Intent, making it an ideal place for understanding the mysteries of space.


    On the mountain closest to the transparent palace, nearly twenty experts were seated cross-legged, each of them possessing powerful auras and unusual bearings.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Spatial ripples could be seen on all their bodies. In front of these nearly twenty people was a white-haired youth. The ripples of Space Intent on his body were the strongest and most obvious.


    Bzzzz!


    At some point, a dark silver Eye of Void had condensed behind the youth''s back. Suddenly, the white-haired youth opened his own dark silver eyes, and the Eye of Void behind him seemed to solidify, exuding a silvery luster. The deep pupil had so many layers that it seemed to lead to an infinite dimension.


    "Quasi-God Kong Yuan, your Space Intent has reached Level Four. You should be able to see inside that palace hall a little!" An elder with a very deep and reserved aura spoke out from behind the white-haired youth.


    "Level Four Space Intent!"


    All the other experts were stunned by these words. To have already reached Level Four Space Intent at only the Quasi-God level, Quasi-God Kong Yuan was the only member of the Spacetime Sacred Land''s new generation to have reached this level.


    "I see a little. There''s treasure everywhere, and its mostly space-type treasure!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s silver eyes roamed here and there.


    The people around him were all ecstatic at this news.


    Elsewhere, on a steep mountain not far away was another group of nearly twenty people. These people were taller and larger, and some of them had strange black tattoos on their faces.


    "I didn''t think that Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s Space Intent had already reached Level Four!" a middle-aged man said in shock.


    Space Intent was an Intent that any expert would try to cultivate. Anyone who had a mastery of this Intent could use Instant Movement, Spatial Leap, and other such skills. Whether it was for escape, pursuit, or urgent travel, it was an incredibly useful Intent.


    "It''s rumored that Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s Eye of Spacetime bloodline is extremely pure. He''s even obtained pointers from the Spacetime God!" another Quasi-God from the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land said.


    "Even if that''s the case, he''s still no match for me!" an icy and savage voice spoke, one that seemingly feared nothing. It was as if these words were said specifically so that Quasi-God Kong Yuan could hear them.


    None of the people present retorted. This was because the person who said these words was Quasi-God Heaven Swallower, the proud Quasi-God genius of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.


    "That''s obvious. Space Intent is just used for travel. How could it compare to Senior''s Devouring Intent!?" a youth immediately began to flatter Heaven Swallower.


    Suddenly, Quasi-God Heaven Swallower sensed something and turned toward a certain direction. The experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land also noticed something.


    Kaboom!


    The clouds in the distance roiled as an enormous warship one hundred zhang long flew over like a bolt of lightning. At the front of the warship stood a scholarly youth, who gently smiled into the wind.


    "What''s that? What a large warship!"


    "Which faction is that!?"


    "Many of the experts on the mountains were alarmed and shocked by this enormous warship.


    "As expected of someone from the Tianyun Sacred Land, he truly has some style!" Quasi-God Heaven Swallower stood up, his eyes flashing as he stared at the dark yellow warship.


    The Tianyun Sacred Land was a Sacred Land that was established rather late in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Although its reputation was not on par with the other Sacred Lands, it could not be ignored.


    "Tianyun Sacred Land, Quasi-God Si Kong," Quasi-God Kong Yuan indifferently said. Compared to Quasi-God Heaven Swallower, he was more interested in Quasi-God Si Kong.


    "It''s only because I was afraid of being late that I used this method of transportation. If I come back with nothing, I really wouldn''t know what to say to Master!" Quasi-God Si Kong gave a smile and a nod, his every movement relaxed and gentle, completely unlike the prodigies of the other two Sacred Lands.


    At the same time, on a certain lower mountain¡­


    The Little World in which Zhao Feng resided suddenly began to explode with golden lightning and faint ripples of dreadful Divine Power.


    "Master is on the verge of breaking through!" The blue-clothed elder rejoiced.


    With this breakthrough, Zhao Feng could now be considered a Quasi-God, though it was hard to say what rank of True God his strength would compare to.

 1192 Fighting a Rank Three True God

    Chapter 1192 - Fighting a Rank Three True God


    In front of Zhao Feng, many precious metal-type cultivating resources were floating. If not for the fact that Zhao Feng''s Little World was concealing them, any expert who saw these resources would probably try to take them for themselves.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng absorbed the medicinal energy in these materials and allowed them to circulate through his Sacred Power, pouring them into the whirlpool of Sacred Light. At a certain moment, the golden-colored region of the Zhao Feng''s five-colored Sacred Power Whirlpool began to shine with dazzling radiance.


    Boom! Hisss!


    The Metal of Wind Lightning around Zhao Feng also began to shine, the radiance so brilliant that some of it leaked out of the Little World to light up the outside world. This phenomenon attracted the attention of many experts on the surrounding mountains, but when they saw that Zhao Feng was only breaking into the Demigod realm, they ignored it.


    Zhao Feng truly was causing quite a stir as he broke into the Demigod level, but would a single Demigod be of any use in a place like this?


    Whoosh!


    The golden lightning slowly faded away, and the shroud of the Little World around Zhao Feng also began to dispel.


    "Quasi-God Kong Yuan, Quasi-God Heaven Swallower, Quasi-God Si Kong!" As Zhao Feng opened up his bright eyes, he softly muttered these three names. Although he was busy cultivating, he had split off a part of his mind to keep watch on his surroundings.


    "They truly deserve their reputations as prodigies of God Realm Sacred Lands!" Zhao Feng emotionally sighed.


    God Realm Sacred Lands were godlike existences that resided above five-star powers. Each one of these three sacred lands had far more resources and far more strength than Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng could safely assume that, if any one of them tried to break into the Heavenly Divine Realm, they would become a Rank Four True God.


    Some people, because they were unable to make any further progress, would break into the Heavenly Divine Realm and become Rank One True Gods. They would then slowly begin to make their way up the ranks, but in the end, they would find it very difficult to climb over the threshold and become Ancient Gods.


    However, these prodigies could directly become Rank Four True Gods, raising the probability that they could advance to become Ancient Gods.


    This was the gap in talent! This was also why so many people chose to suppress their cultivation and accumulate resources instead of directly challenging the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    "The gap between us is still very large, but I only reached the Demigod level just now. I still have a lot of room to grow!" An indomitable resolve appeared in Zhao Feng''s heart.


    These three geniuses of the God Realm Sacred Lands were all Zhao Feng''s targets. If it was possible, Zhao Feng wanted to surpass them.


    "Congratulations, Master, for advancing another step in cultivation and becoming a Quasi-God!" the blue-clothed elder smiled and respectfully said.


    With Zhao Feng''s strength, he only needed to break into the Demigod level to be called a Quasi-God.


    "Haha, you just reached the Demigod level and dare to call yourself a Quasi-God!?" A young Quasi-God on the peak of the mountain where Zhao Feng was at gave an arrogant laugh.


    In comparison to all the other factions here, Zhao Feng''s group consisted of only four people and could be considered the weakest group.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze turned toward the faction on the summit. This faction had only nine people, with only one Rank Four True God, making it one of the weakest factions in this place.


    At this moment, another group arrived in the area. Leading this group was Quasi-God Di Lin, whose cold and ruthless eyes were fixed on Zhao Feng.


    This time though, Quasi-God Di Lin did not act rashly. Back then, Zhao Feng alone had given his group a bruising, and now he had three more people at his side. However, Quasi-God Di Lin still gave a malicious smile as if he was saying, "Just wait."


    Quasi-God Di Lin flew straight toward the main group of the Golden Jade Race.


    "True God Tianhua, on our way here, one member of our group was killed by that golden-haired brat¡­!" Quasi-God Di Lin stood before True God Tianhua and said with a faint smile.


    True God Tianhua was the only Rank Five True God the Golden Jade Race had in this secret dimension. Even though Quasi-God Di Lin had a respected status, he acted a little more restrained in front of Tianhua.


    "Hmph, you would have me ¨C a Rank Five True God ¨C go and deal with a junior who just broke into the Demigod level?" True God Tianhua angrily harrumphed. If he really did go and kill Zhao Feng, he would only attract the ridicule of all the surrounding factions.


    "The five of you, deal with them!" True God Tianhua sighed and spoke to five Rank Three True Gods at his side.


    In Zhao Feng''s group of four, there was only one Rank Three True God, while one was a Rank Two True God, and the remaining two were Demigods. Five Rank Three True Gods against them was a little overboard. But since Zhao Feng had succeeded in killing a member of the Golden Jade Race and leaving unharmed, he was definitely no ordinary person. True God Tianhua wished to be certain, so he dispatched five Rank Three True Gods.


    "Yes!"


    The five members of the Golden Jade Race immediately headed for the mountain where Zhao Feng resided.


    "Brat, just wait for death!" Quasi-God Di Lin gave a sinister smile.


    On the mountain where Zhao Feng was, the youth that just jeered at Zhao Feng a moment ago once more ridiculed, "It seems like none of you will even have a chance to experience the treasures of this place!"


    "Master, what do we do?" The blue-clothed elder''s face was fraught with worry.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng condensed two wings of golden light on his back and began to flee.


    "Haha, Master, up to your tricks again!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave a crafty smile. However, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon also liked to play dirty. Its Destruction Dragon Race bloodline could not be exposed before this many people.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three members of Zhao Feng''s group quickly followed him.


    "After them! Kill them all!" One of the Golden Jade Race True Gods yelled.


    They were five Rank Three True Gods; if they allowed their opponent to flee right in front of them, they wouldn''t have the face to go back.


    Swish¡­


    The Golden Jade Race True Gods pursued.


    In Zhao Feng''s group, Zhao Feng was the fastest, then it was Zhao Wan and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. It was actually the blue-clothed elder ¨C the Rank Three True God ¨C who was the slowest.


    "What''s going on? The ones with the weakest cultivations are actually the fastest!" one of the Golden Jade Race True Gods furiously cursed.


    Their group of five could only catch up to the blue-clothed elder. They were completely incapable of catching the other three.


    But suddenly, Zhao Feng''s fleeing group stopped.


    "Kill!" The Golden Jade Race naturally would not let this opportunity pass by and attacked straight away. Three True Gods attacked Zhao Feng, Zhao Wan, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, while the remaining two True Gods attacked the blue-clothed elder.


    "Haaa¡­" The blue-clothed elder couldn''t help but give a helpless sigh. The people around his master all liked to play as pigs to eat tigers. His strength was far weaker than the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s, and even Zhao Feng was probably equal to him now after the breakthrough. In fact, Zhao Feng was definitely stronger if he used all the resources available to him.


    "Brat, was it you who killed a member of my Golden Jade Race?" One of the Rank Three True Gods gazed down upon Zhao Feng, a slight tinge of anger on his face.


    "You talk a lot of nonsense!" Zhao Feng snorted as he circulated the Sacred Lightning Body and activated the Ancient Blood Devil Sun.


    Kaboom!


    Zhao Feng''s body suddenly grew and began to exude golden lightning. He was then covered by a layer of scarlet sunlight. It seemed like he had changed into a completely different person.


    The Rank Three True God standing before him grimaced. He understood that this person was not simple.


    Boom! Bang!


    In a flash of scarlet lightning, Zhao Feng shot toward this True God. Now that he was at the Demigod level, Zhao Feng wanted to see if he could fight a Rank Three True God.


    "Jade Laws Golden Light!" The Rank Three True God activated his Golden Jade Race bloodline, his two hands waving in the air, instantly producing countless golden jade runes.


    Bzzz! Thwish!


    These golden-jade runes formed a vortex that went to confront Zhao Feng.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!"


    An enormous palm made of scarlet lightning crashed into the golden-jade vortex.


    Booom!


    More than half of the vortex was immediately destroyed, with the remainder burned into nothing by golden flames of annihilation. This was the special attribute of the Ancient Blood Devil Sun''s flames, and it was also one of the strong points of Level One Fire Intent.


    After becoming a Demigod, I can already contend directly against Rank Three True Gods! Zhao Feng was inwardly a little happy.


    Zhao Feng still remembered that, when he was fighting True God Guisha, he found it hard to receive even a single move. He was only able to rely on his divine weapon and the God Eye Duplication to block the attacks.


    In his few months in the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng had grown to a level where he could fight directly with Rank Three True Gods.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng lunged forward, attacking the Rank Three True God from another angle.


    "This brat''s Fire Intent has reached Level One!" The Rank Three True God was astonished. Moreover, he could sense that Zhao Feng''s bloodline was apparently stronger than his, and his body-strengthening technique was more profound. If he hadn''t reached Level One Metal Intent for so long, he would be no match for Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    After a few exchanges, the Golden Jade Race Rank Three True God realized that he could not do anything to Zhao Feng.


    Elsewhere, the blue-clothed elder was being suppressed by the two Rank Three True Gods, and Zhao Wan was also slightly disadvantaged versus his one Rank Three True God.


    However, the Rank Two True God black-scaled man possessed the profound Destruction Intent. His attacks were fierce and tyrannical, and he was able to completely suppress the Golden Jade Race True God.


    "Damn! Killing this pile of trash actually requires so much effort!" The Rank Three True God turned slightly furious as he produced a golden fan.


    "Jade Incineration!" With a wave of the fan, he created a dazzling golden storm that swept toward Zhao Feng with a momentum that could destroy everything.


    Cling! Crack!


    As the golden storm surged through the world, one could hear crinkling and cracking, as if innumerable jade objects were being shattered.


    "Since you''ve taken out a divine weapon, let''s bring this battle to an end!" Zhao Feng''s face turned cold. He was only fighting with the Rank Three True God honestly because he wanted to test his strength after breaking through.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng used his Metal Lightning Radiance Wings to dodge this attack.


    Swish!


    He waved a single hand, causing enormous figures to appear in the surroundings, each one exuding an incredible ancient Yao Qi.


    "You''re¡­ a beast tamer!" The Rank Three True God was struck dumb.


    The Golden Jade Race originally held the advantage, but when Zhao Feng released so many pets, even though they were not individually very strong, they were enough to alter the course of this battle.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng ordered.


    "Destruction Dragon Breath!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately activated the power of its bloodline, circulating the energy of Destruction through its body.


    "Myriad Forms Dimension!" Zhao Wan immediately used his trump card, unleashing the Myriad Forms Dimension and trapping the Rank Three True God within it.


    Awoooo!


    The horde of beasts surrounded the two True Gods that were attacking the blue-clothed elder.


    "Jade Incineration!" Zhao Feng''s lips curled into a simple as his left eye began to exude a powerful Eye Intent.


    Kabooom!


    A dazzling golden storm proceeded with unstoppable momentum toward the Rank Three True God in front of Zhao Feng. When his opponent had used this move, Zhao Feng silently duplicated it, biding his time and energy until he could unleash it.


    "How could this be? That''s my technique!" The Rank Three True God''s entire body was frozen in shock.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng immediately followed up with his own eye-bloodline technique.


    Kacrack!


    The Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame''s power struck first, exploding directly against the Rank Three True God''s soul and preventing him from fighting normally.


    Boom!


    After that, Zhao Feng''s duplicated Jade Incineration began to madly grind at the Rank Three True God.


    Elsewhere, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had already killed his Rank Three True God, Zhao Wan was able to rely on the Myriad Forms Dimension and the Eye of Myriad Forms to reach a stalemate with his Rank Three True God, and the blue-clothed elder and the ancient beasts managed to force the last two Rank Three True Gods into dire straits.


    ¡­


    On a certain mountain, True God Tianhua was seated cross-legged in cultivation. Even though he was a Rank Five True God, he did not dare act carelessly around a treasure ground like this. Suddenly, he took out a message token and then paled in shock, a roar of fury breaking from his lips; "This bunch of good-for-nothings! Follow me!"


    True God Tianhua stood up, his face exuding righteous fury as he led all the members of the Golden Jade Race like a furious flood.

 1193 Little Ling Joins the Team

    Chapter 1193 - Little Ling Joins the Team


    The furious departure of the Golden Jade Race elicited the notice of the other factions in the mountain range. For all the members of the Golden Jade Race to head in the same direction at such a critical juncture was very confusing.


    "Didn''t the Golden Jade Race send five people to chase that small group a few moments ago? Why are all of them going now?" On the summit of the mountain that Zhao Feng''s group stayed on earlier, the youth who jeered at Zhao Feng twice was quite surprised.


    "Shut your mouth! No one nice comes to this place!" At this moment, the Rank Four True God of the youth''s group angrily rebuked him.


    ¡­


    "True God Tianhua, what happened?" Quasi-God Di Lin curiously asked. True God Tianhua had received a message and then immediately took everyone with him, but no one else knew what happened.


    "Shut your mouth! You really talk too much!" True God Tianhua gave Di Lin a furious glare as he rudely rebuked him.


    Seeing True God Tianhua''s rage, none of the other members of the Golden Jade Race dared to say a word. They quickly understood why True God Tianhua was so furious.


    "Save me¡­" A weak, dark gold soul flew toward them.


    Kacrack!


    A dreadful bolt of Tribulation Lightning struck the soul, utterly annihilating it. The Golden Jade Race group looked on in stupefaction, not expecting for this to be the first thing they saw.


    "If you had come a little faster, you might have been able to save him!" At this moment, Zhao Feng''s leisurely and contented voice rang out in their ears.


    Stunned, the Golden Jade Race members trembled, the invisible rage around them almost causing their surroundings to freeze.


    "Zhao Feng, you dare to kill a member of my Golden Jade Race!?" Quasi-God Di Lin grimaced and roared back.


    Zhao Feng coldly glanced at Quasi-God Di Lin. Was this person an idiot? He had already done the killing, but this person still chose to make such a dumb comment?


    "True God Tianhua, save me!" The voice of a Golden Jade Race True God came from behind Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, only three True Gods remained of the five that were sent after Zhao Feng''s group. They were surrounded by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, the blue-clothed elder, and the many ancient beasts.


    "You are seeking death!" True God Tianhua angrily stared at Zhao Feng and warned.


    He could clearly see that Zhao Feng was capable of killing all three True Gods. However, he purposely trapped the trio to bring over the rest of the Golden Jade Race''s group. This was the first time he had ever seen such a reckless youth.


    "True God Tianhua is truly devoted to righteousness, casting aside the lives of his fellow clansmen to kill me!" Zhao Feng''s lips curled into a wicked smile.


    These words immediately made the trapped True Gods shiver as if they had been dropped into an icebox. The other members of the Golden Jade Race also became apprehensive. If True God Tianhua didn''t even care about the fates of these three Rank Three True Gods, then in the upcoming struggle for treasure, he definitely wouldn''t care about their lives.


    True God Tianhua''s eyes seethed with killing intent. Zhao Feng was attempting to sow discord between him and the rest of his group. As a Rank Five True God, Tianhua naturally cared little for these lower-ranked True Gods. However, there were too many opponents backed by powerful factions involved in this battle for treasure. He needed the strength of his brethren, and perhaps even needed to use their lives to pave the road for him.


    "Since this is the case, let me invite my friend hidden in the shadows to lend me a hand!" Zhao Feng turned his head, his gaze shooting toward the depths of an ancient forest.


    "This brat still has more helpers?" True God Tianhua''s eyes were as gloomy as stagnant water.


    Deep within the forest, a purple-blue flame flickered, and a girl dressed in a gown of the same colors slowly emerged.


    "He actually noticed me!" Little Ling was a little angry.


    She originally came to this place to seek out information regarding the treasure when she suddenly sensed a familiar Fire energy. Upon tracing this energy back, she discovered Zhao Feng. Thus, Little Ling hid herself. Once the five True Gods of the Golden Jade Race and Zhao Feng''s group finished battling each other, she planned to attack Zhao Feng and take back the tail feathers of the Phoenix-Tailed Bird ancestor.


    However, she hadn''t expected Zhao Feng''s group to be powerful enough to defeat a group of five Rank Three True Gods. As a result, she continued to remain in hiding, whereupon the rest of the Golden Jade Race group showed up. This group was extremely powerful and even had a Rank Five True God in its ranks. Little Ling was even worried that Zhao Feng would end up being killed by the Rank Five True God.


    But suddenly, Zhao Feng exposed her hiding place.


    In that case, I''ll work with him to fight this enemy, make a good impression, and then wait for my chance to take back the tail feathers! Little Ling''s lips slightly perked in satisfaction at this plan.


    Whoosh!


    In a flash of purple-blue flame, a beautiful girl landed by Zhao Feng''s side.


    "I didn''t think Master would have even more helpers!" The blue-clothed elder was flabbergasted.


    "How beautiful!"


    Both sides of this conflict were instantly entranced by the girl''s beauty and demeanor, and the tense air immediately vanished into nothing.


    "Hmph!" Little Ling gave a coquettish snort. After shooting a glare at Zhao Feng, she turned her eyes toward the Golden Jade Race group.


    "Rank Four True God!" True God Tianhua''s expression sank.


    Zhao Feng''s group and his many pets already made for a formidable fighting force, and now, he even had a Rank Four True God on his side.


    On the Golden Jade Race''s side, other than the Rank Five True God Tianhua, the rest of the group consisted of Rank Two and Three True Gods and Quasi-Gods. If it really came down to it, the Golden Jade Race still had a higher chance of winning, but even if they did win, the group would suffer terrible casualties. They would no longer have the ability to compete for any of the treasures.


    "True God Tianhua, I trust that you are a sensible man who wouldn''t let the entire Golden Jade Race suffer because of a single good-for-nothing!"


    Zhao Feng shot a glance at Quasi-God Di Lin.


    "Good-for-nothing¡­" Quasi-God Di Lin''s entire body trembled, his fists clenching, his nails digging in so hard that they drew blood.


    During his entire path of cultivation, no one had ever called him a good-for-nothing!


    "What you say is reasonable. As long as you release the three True Gods of my Golden Jade Race, I will forget this matter!" True God Tianhua''s expression relaxed a tiny bit.


    The treasure ground was about to open. He could not undermine his own forces with the moment so close. Moreover, he would have plenty of time to deal with Zhao Feng once the struggle for treasure began.


    "I trust that True God Tianhua is a man who keeps his word and would not deceive a junior!"


    Zhao Feng smiled and waved his hand. Instantly, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the others released the three True Gods.


    "Let''s go!" True God Tianhua swept a ruthless gaze over the three True Gods as he sternly ordered.


    Swoosh swoosh¡­


    True God Tianhua led his group away.


    "My gratitude for the assistance, Young Lady. This Zhao''s gratitude is immeasurable!" Zhao Feng turned toward Little Ling with a warm and amiable smile.


    Zhao Feng had long ago noticed the hiding Little Ling.


    "If Young Lady is willing, we can work together and vie for the treasures of that treasure ground!" Zhao Feng took the initiative to offer an invitation. He had forced Little Ling out in the first place in order to borrow her strength.


    Little Ling was caught a little off guard. She had been preparing to speak up and offer to join Zhao Feng''s team, so she wasn''t ready for Zhao Feng'' invitation. This made her feel like Zhao Feng had seen through her plans.


    I''ve been following him in the shadows this entire time. He can''t possibly know what my real goal is! Little Ling thought to herself as she hesitated.


    "Okay. I''m also very interested in that treasure ground!" Little Ling''s eyes flashed with resolve as she agreed.


    On the side, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was dumbfounded. Not even it understood why this suddenly-appeared girl would decide to help Zhao Feng, even joining Zhao Feng''s group.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s group followed the Golden Jade Race group in returning to that long mountain range.


    In the nearby mountains, many experts were left astonished by what they saw. They all knew that a conflict had arisen between the Golden Jade Race and Zhao Feng, and they just saw that Rank Five True God of the Golden Jade Race storm off in a fury. But now, the two groups were returning, one right after the other. This was a truly bizarre sight.


    However, the careful observer would notice that only three of the initial five Rank Three True Gods had returned from pursuing Zhao Feng''s group. In addition, Zhao Feng''s group now had a beautiful girl with an almost perfect appearance.


    "Good Sir, please do not take offense for the mindless blabbering of my race''s youth!"


    At this moment, the Rank Four True God on the mountain where Zhao Feng''s group was staying took the initiative and offered an apology. When the young Quasi-God in his group jeered at Zhao Feng twice, he had ignored it, but now that Zhao Feng made the Golden Jade Race taste defeat and had a Rank Four True God on his side, he felt compelled to speak.


    After this apology, the Rank Four True God led his group away from the mountain.


    "This one is Zhao Feng. It is an absolute pleasure to work with Milady!" Zhao Feng warmly smiled.


    Little Ling gave a gentle smile of her own and was prepared to engage a few pleasantries of her own when she was struck dumb by Zhao Feng''s next words.


    "Milady, have you come to take back the Phoenix-Tailed Bird''s tail feathers?" Zhao Feng looked at Little Ling as if he could see all her secrets.


    "You knew?" Little Ling was reeling from shock. Since Zhao Feng knew her goal, why did he invite her to join his team? Little Ling felt like the situation was entirely under Zhao Feng''s control.


    "Milady has been following me from the moment I left Phoenix Forest. To be spied on by such a beautiful lady, this one feels a little embarrassed!" Zhao Feng shamelessly said.


    "What do you plan to do?" Little Ling''s face turned gloomy, a hint of killing intent twinkled in her eyes.


    "Milady, don''t get excited. Take care to not expose your identity!" Zhao Feng spoke with a composed expression.


    The killing intent in Little Ling''s eyes vanished, and she looked at Zhao Feng and clenched her teeth. This place was packed with experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods; if her identity was exposed, everyone here would have a reason to attack her.


    "This one only wishes to cooperate with Milady. By assisting me, Milady will also stand to gain. Once this matter is concluded, I can return the tail feathers to you!" Zhao Feng earnestly said.


    The bloodline power, Origin Flame, and medicinal energy of the tail feathers had already been absorbed by Zhao Feng. It meant nothing to him to return them.


    Little Ling stared at Zhao Feng, feeling suffocated and oppressed. She felt like she had fallen into a trap.


    "Okay!" Little Ling thought for a while before agreeing. If she refused, she didn''t even know if she would able to safely leave this area. Meanwhile, agreeing to Zhao Feng''s request only posed a little risk, with few other disadvantages.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    At this moment, the transparent palace on the horizon unleashed an enormous spatial storm. Two-thirds of the palace hall were now exposed.


    ¡­


    "Eh? These spatial ripples¡­" Two large and stocky figures ¨C enormous members of an ancient race with dragon heads, deer horns, and bodies covered all over in black scales ¨C stopped in the air.


    "You, come here. What''s happened up ahead?" One of them, a Black Flame Qilin, angrily looked down at an ancient beast below.


    "This¡­ a large number of humans have discovered a treasure ground hidden in a spatial dimension. At present, this treasure ground is about to emerge!" This ancient beast threw its body against the ground, its entire body trembling in fear. As an ancient beast, it had never encountered a species with such a powerful bloodline before.


    "Young Master, there are many humans there. It is best if we do not involve ourselves in this matter!" The other Qilin, an enormous red one with a restrained aura, softly advised.


    "Heh, you''re a Rank Seven Ancient God. With you here, those humans are nothing!" The Black Flame Qilin''s eyes twinkled with a fierce light.


    There were nine ranks to True Gods. Rank One to Rank Six were called True Gods, but this red Qilin was an Ancient God, residing above Rank Six.

 1194 Chaotic Situation

    Chapter 1194 - Chaotic Situation


    "Even if I''m willing to help you, with the strength on our side, it will be hard to contend with all these factions!" Little Ling did not mince words as she scanned the surrounding mountains.


    "You don''t need to worry about that!" Zhao Feng''s answer was just as frank.


    "I''m thinking about my own life here!" Little Ling shot Zhao Feng a vicious glare and then added, "Let me tell you, you aren''t the only people after this palace. Many ancient species are also hiding around this mountain range!"


    The appearance of this palace created a great ruckus. It was naturally not just the humans that had come to this place. The ancient species nearby were no match for all these humans in a direct confrontation, so they chose to conceal themselves and wait for the right moment.


    "I know!" Zhao Feng simply replied. From Zhao Feng''s point of view, the messier the situation, the better. This would make it easier for him to get in through the gaps.


    The ever-composed Zhao Feng left Little Ling incensed. Was there nothing that could make this man shocked or panicked?


    "Just stay here and wait for my instructions. Do whatever I tell you!" Zhao Feng looked at Little Ling and seriously said.


    Little Ling was not Zhao Feng''s servant, so Zhao Feng could not strictly bind her movements.


    "What about you?" Little Ling suddenly thought of something and asked.


    "I, naturally, am responsible for commanding all of you!" Zhao Feng said with absolute confidence.


    "What? You''re having us take the risks while you just hide!" Little Ling''s round eyes went wide. She had nothing but contempt for Zhao Feng''s behavior.


    She glanced at Zhao Wan, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and the blue-clothed elder. These three were all weaker than she was, but she had observed the battle earlier. She knew that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s bloodline was terrifying and high-level, while Zhao Wan was the inheritor of the Eye of Myriad Forms. Little Ling was baffled as to why such talented people would follow Zhao Feng''s orders.


    "Enough with the chatter. We still have some time left to increase our strength and mentally prepare ourselves!" Zhao Feng was a little speechless. This beauty really had a lot of questions.


    The blue-clothed elder released the power of his Little World, took out a Lightning Whip, and began to refine it. He had his own divine weapon, but this one suited him more.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon also began to cultivate in its own Little World, raising its strength. The stronger it was, the greater its chances of getting a little of the treasure for itself.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng attempted to comprehend the Space Intent in the air. Space Intent was an Intent that any expert would try to cultivate. Anyone who had a mastery of this Intent could use Instant Movement, Spatial Leap, and other such skills. Whether it was for escape, pursuit, or urgent travel, it was an incredibly useful Intent.


    Of course, besides these skills, Space Intent could also serve as an aggressive skill, its primary advantage being its ability to ignore distance to catch opponents off guard.


    "My God''s Spiritual Eye came with the ability to use the power of Space. Comprehending Space Intent shouldn''t be hard!" Zhao Feng muttered to himself.


    Last time, Zhao Feng had been too careless and was almost killed by that True God expert who had comprehended Space Intent. This experience made Zhao Feng place extreme value on Space Intent.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye was suddenly covered in a layer of faint golden ripples. Suddenly, the world before Zhao Feng transformed into one made of tiny golden grains, with the spatial ripples formed of Space Intent clearly reflected in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Mm?" On the mountain occupied by the Spacetime Sacred Land, two figures noticed something strange, their eyes twinkling. One of them was Quasi-God Kong Yuan, and the other was a Rank Five True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land. Both of them possessed the Eye of Spacetime.


    "What a strange feeling!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan murmured to himself. Just a moment ago, he felt like he was being spied on by someone, which caused a slight ripple to appear in his Eye of Spacetime.


    "There might be another inheritor of a powerful God Eye among these people," the elder lightly said. Nothing but geniuses and elites had gathered in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, so it would not be strange at all if an inheritor of a God Eye had appeared here.


    Hwoooo!


    The world was filled with the sound of the enormous spatial storm.


    Bzzzz! Booom!


    Suddenly, a small portion of the concealed transparent palace surged outward.


    Booom!


    The enormous crack in space unleashed a dreadful spatial storm. Since everyone had been maintaining their distance, many of the people were only lightly struck by these winds, but this was enough to tear open bloody wounds in their bodies. Some others could feel the terrifying spatial forces sucking them in and immediately withdrew.


    Hwoooo!


    The enormous spatial crack slowly began to close, and the spatial turbulence began to weaken.


    "The treasure ground is about to appear!"


    At this moment, all the nearby experts stood up, their hearts thumping in their chests as they stared at the transparent palace in the air. As the spatial storm weakened, the insides of the palace began to reveal themselves to the crowd.


    "Treasure, it''s all treasure!"


    Everyone leaned forward in excitement.


    "This half-transparent palace is built in a style that''s extremely similar to the buildings of the Spacetime Sacred Land!" The prodigious Quasi-God of the Tianyun Sacred Land, Quasi-God Si Kong, had a very calm expression.


    "Could it be a former residence of the Lord God?" One of the True Gods of the Spacetime Sacred Land gasped in shock, reverence on his face.


    It was rumored that the Spacetime God lived in cracks within space, comprehending Spacetime Intent in the turbulence of the void. This palace hall might have been the residence of a Spacetime God that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. The objects might have started out as ordinary objects, but because the Spacetime God had lived there, they were contaminated by Space Intent or Time intent, their quality rising to divine levels.


    Hwoooo!


    The transparent palace floated in the air, unleashing dreadful spatial ripples. Even the people from the Spacetime Sacred Land did not dare to recklessly approach.


    "The spatial ripples around the palace are too terrifying. The slightest lack of care could result in being torn to pieces by spatial cracks!" one of the Spacetime Sacred Land experts said in shock.


    The others silently observed the situation. Although the treasure ground had appeared, no one dared to approach, much less enter.


    On the mountain where Zhao Feng''s group was located:


    Swish!


    Zhao Wang emerged from the Misty Spatial World, his cold and sinister eyes seething with death energy as they looked up at the sky.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder, tossing out an ancient bronze coin as it looked up with profound eyes at the transparent palace.


    "He has even more helpers!" Little Ling was somewhat taken aback.


    Although Zhao Wang did not have a high cultivation, the Death Intent on him was far too terrifying. Just getting a little too close would make one feel like one''s vitality was fading away. As for the little thieving cat, its aura was extremely strange. It was definitely not an ordinary being, but Little Ling couldn''t tell exactly what was so strange about it.


    Hwoooo!


    All the experts began to subconsciously float upward, all for the sake of sensing the treasures within the palace.


    "Go, let''s take a look!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan suddenly said.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    The Spacetime Sacred Land experts shot forward, getting closer to the transparent palace. However, they still did not dare to enter.


    "Hurry and follow the people from the Spacetime Sacred Land!"


    The groups from the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land and Tianyun Sacred Land immediately followed. They could tell that this palace was possibly related to the Spacetime Sacred Land. They could not rule out the Spacetime Sacred Land having some special method of entering the palace.


    Hwoooo!


    All the other experts also advanced.


    "Damn, this palace is packed with spatial cracks and surrounded by spatial storms. It''s impossible to get close!" a young Quasi-God cursed.


    But at this moment, an object dropped from the transparent palace. It was a white teacup, but its surface was covered by a ripple of Space Intent.


    "Treasure dropped down!"


    "Get it!"


    No one expected for treasure to appear in this fashion. No one could enter the transparent palace, but the items within the palace were being carried out by the spatial turbulence.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    The people from the Spacetime Sacred Land were the first to act.


    Suddenly, the teacup unleashed a powerful spatial ripple.


    "Ugh! Ah!"


    The experts who had approached the white teacup were jolted back, shocked expressions on their faces as they vomited blood.


    "Haha¡­" Only the Rank Five True God from the Spacetime Sacred Land, his body humming with powerful ripples of Space Intent, managed to reach the teacup''s side.


    "Eh? I can''t take it into my Interspatial Dimension!" The Rank Five True God frowned.


    The Space Intent ripples on the teacup were too intense, and his Interspatial Dimension was not of high enough quality to receive it.


    There was still another method, which was to refine the teacup. Once it was refined, it would be easy to place it in an Interspatial Dimension, but a long time was needed to refine a divine weapon.


    "Put down that treasure!"


    Experts of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land converged on the True God from several directions. The Tianyun Sacred Land experts were not too far behind.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    For the sake of a teacup, the experts of the three Sacred Lands engaged in an intense conflict. Terrifying storms of energy swept through the world, causing the experts of the other factions to look on in dread.


    "To be expected of people from the God Realm Sacred Lands, they''re all incredibly powerful!"


    "Even while all those people are fighting, that teacup is still unharmed!"


    Countless experts observed the battle between the three God Realm Sacred Lands as they slowly approached. They were still apprehensive, and none of them dared to be the first to strike.


    But suddenly, several more objects dropped down from the sky. The descent of each object incited a struggle between many factions. However, to everyone''s vexation, these objects could not be brought into Interspatial Dimensions.


    The people from the three God Realm Sacred Lands grimaced. This excessively chaotic situation was exactly what they didn''t want to see.


    Swish! Swish!


    The people from the two other Sacred Lands immediately left to fight for the other objects.


    "The six of you, go for the comb to the northwest. Listen to my orders, and don''t act carelessly!"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Little Ling, and the others suddenly heard Zhao Feng''s voice. Little Ling turned her head and noticed that Zhao Feng had vanished.


    "Let''s go!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon called out and took off.


    At this time, three other races were battling over the comb.


    Squelch! The dark yellow comb unleashed a spatial thorn that happened to pierce a Rank Two True God through his chest, ending his life.


    "How scary!"


    The three races battling over the comb were all shocked.


    This seemingly ordinary comb was actually an offensive-type spatial divine weapon. With its offensive power, it managed to kill a Rank Two True God.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the others entered the fray, assisting the weakest party in weakening the fighting power of the other parties.


    Two hundred thousand li from this area, deep underground, Zhao Feng''s left eye was twinkling with a golden luster, seeing through all and taking in the entire situation. Zhao Feng hoped that the struggle for treasure would be chaotic, but he had never imagined that it would be this chaotic.


    "The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Origin Dimension and the little thieving cat''s stomach should be able to hold these objects!" Zhao Feng surmised.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had an extremely noble bloodline and had been a Rank Six True God in its prime, so its Origin Dimension was extremely high level. As for the little thieving cat, it was a mutant, its stomach a bottomless hole that could swallow anything.


    "Why haven''t the ancient races hidden in the surroundings moved yet?" The realization of this problem left Zhao Feng surprised.

 1195 Blood Flame Qilin Race

    Chapter 1195 - Blood Flame Qilin Race


    The heavens and earth rumbled as countless Intent attacks created a display of breathtaking beauty. Several hundred experts with True God levels of strength were engaged in combat, their terrifying clashes flattening nearby mountains.


    At present, seven treasures had fallen from the transparent palace. The white teacup had already been obtained by someone from the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group was fighting over the comb, where the conflict was less intense since the number of factions struggling over it was smaller.


    Swoosh!


    The dark yellow comb would occasionally release several spatial thorns, which would pierce through the air at rapid speeds. However, the experts involved in this battle were now prepared for this and could evade these thorns.


    "If we manage to get this comb, our fighting power will receive a big boost. This will be a major boon in the upcoming struggles!" a Rank Five True God with black skin and red eyes of blazing fire said, his face suffused with greed.


    The attacks the comb launched on its own could easily kill a Rank Two True God, so if it could be refined, it would be able to exhibit even greater power.


    "Keep dreaming!" Another group fighting for the comb immediately retorted.


    "Gentlemen, we can work together temporarily to seize this comb!" the red-eyed Rank Five True God made an offer to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group. Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group had a rather low cultivation levels, their strength was decent. Moreover, he could not find anyone else willing to work with him.


    "Okay, we will help Senior get this treasure!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon replied with a smile.


    In reality, everyone knew that each faction had their own plans.


    Booom! Bang! Crash!


    The two sides fiercely battled. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group took on the smaller part of the enemy group, leaving the majority of the enemies to the red-eyed Rank Five True God''s group.


    Thwish!


    A silver-gray line flashed forward as the little thieving cat used the dark-gold dragon-snake whip in its hands to grab the comb.


    "Haha, a pack of fools!" The red-eyed Rank Five True God sneered.


    "Kill them!"


    Once the little thieving cat obtained the comb, the other three factions immediately began to attack the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group.


    "What is this thieving cat doing?" Little Ling was flabbergasted. Treasures were all well and good, but there were far too many experts here. Anyone who obtained a treasure would immediately become the target of all the other factions.


    The faction behind the red-eyed Rank Five True God that had allied with them just moments ago also began to attack them.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat grinned as it used the whip to throw the comb to the side of another faction.


    "Damn, this stupid cat!" The other factions cursed in frustration as they rushed off to attack the faction that received the comb.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon continued to cause trouble, choosing not to take any treasure.


    Two hundred thousand li underground, Zhao Feng was continuing to take in the situation with his profound gaze.


    "Let''s first have all the major factions hate each other and stir a little more chaos in the area!" Zhao Feng chuckled.


    The first batch of objects that had dropped from the transparent palace was not as valuable compared to what still remained within, so Zhao Feng had no plans to fight for any of it.


    "That is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s gaze froze as he focused on the transparent palace.


    In the center of the transparent palace, in an area shrouded by a thick spatial layer, a silver robe emerged. This robe was embroidered with countless wondrous runes, all of them glimmering with a silver luster.


    Thwish!


    The silver robe began to move through the palace all on its own.


    Swoosh!


    A terrifying spatial wind blew upon it.


    Bzzzz!


    Spatial ripples appeared on the dark silver robe and blocked the power of this spatial gale.


    The majority of the experts fighting outside the palace naturally saw this scene as well.


    "What treasure is that? It has intelligence that allows it to move on its own, and not even the terrifying spatial winds can harm it!"


    The many experts beneath the palace felt their hearts beat faster.


    Boom! Bang!


    The silver robe suddenly began to randomly bash itself against the walls of the palace. Spatial storms of various sizes battered at the silver robe, but none of them were capable of harming even a single thread of it. In fact, a few of the other treasures in the palace were knocked flying as the silver robe randomly flew through the palace.


    "What a formidable treasure!"


    Everyone could see that this silver robe was the most intelligent treasure in the palace.


    "I have to get my hands on that robe!" The Rank Five True God from the Spacetime Sacred Land had a vicious light in his eyes. No one was more familiar with Spacetime Intent than the Spacetime Sacred Land; his judgment told him that this robe was very possibly the most valuable object in the palace. However, this object was not an offensive type, so outsiders couldn''t tell how precious it was.


    Boom!


    The robe caused the entire palace to tremble, and many of the objects within were jolted loose.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Even more objects dropped from the cracks in the palace.


    "Another batch of treasures has fallen!"


    "The quality seems even higher than the first batch!"


    The experts below were stunned, their bodies trembling as they prepared for battle.


    Many of the treasures in this batch were plants ¨C precious materials likely to contain Spacetime Intent that could assist one in comprehending the power of space and time.


    Bzzzz!


    One of these treasures, a mirror, shot out a ray of Void Light that vanished into the air. In a flash, the space in that area was locked down, and everyone in that area was incapable of using Space Intent.


    "That''s¡­ the Spatial Lock Mirror!" An elder from the Spacetime Sacred Land had his eyes locked onto the mirror, his mind reeling from shock.


    The Spatial Lock Mirror could lock down space in an area and make it impossible to use Space Intent. This was a treasure that the people of the Spacetime Sacred Land had a particular fear of.


    Thwish!


    After locking down an area of space, the Spatial Lock Mirror immediately fled into the distance.


    "Go! We can''t let the Spatial Lock Mirror escape!"


    Ten factions immediately ran off in pursuit, the people of the three Sacred Lands among them. After all, this Spatial Lock Mirror was the highest quality treasure that had appeared at the moment; it was of a far higher level than those teacups and combs.


    Anyone who could control the ability of the Spatial Lock Mirror would find it much easier to obtain any future treasures.


    "Hurry, go after the remaining treasures!"


    The Spatial Lock Mirror had drawn away a large number of the more powerful factions, leaving the remaining factions to struggle over the rest of the treasures. These treasures might not be as good as the Spatial Lock Mirror, but they were far more valuable than the treasures from the first batch.


    "Go!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon roared. So many treasures had dropped out of the sky, and the more powerful factions and experts had all gone after the Spatial Lock Mirror.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    Two weaker groups were currently struggling over a silver plant, both sides fully immersed in their battle. At this moment, an eye of a faint golden color appeared above them, lightning of various color arcing around it. It was cold and callous, seemingly an existence on par with the heavens and earth as it looked down upon all things.


    The two groups instantly paled in fright, their bodies shivering as their souls were assaulted by an invisible pressure. Only the two Rank Four True Gods among them were able to maintain some composure.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World!"


    Bzzz! Thwish!


    This enormous amber-gold eye transformed into a maze-like world of violet-gold, one that exuded a fatal attractive force. All the experts on both sides were entranced by this powerful illusion, and even the Rank Four True Gods showed signs of struggle in their eyes.


    Swish!


    A vortex of Eye Intent appeared around the silver plant and swallowed it whole. The golden Eye of Heaven that dominated the sky subsequently vanished.


    The two groups glanced at each other in shock, immediately knowing that neither side had been responsible for this move.


    "Was it a genius of the Spacetime Sacred Land hiding in the shadows?"


    After voicing this question, the Rank Four True God led his group after another treasure. These small factions naturally did not dare to offend the people of a God Realm Sacred Land.


    Underground, Zhao Feng gave a faint smile. If he used the Eye of Heaven in this chaotic battlefield, no one would be able to tell just who had used it. Moreover, in this area, the Eye of Heaven''s techniques were not as shocking as usual. With the people of the Spacetime Sacred Land around, the majority of the people would place their suspicions on them.


    "The abilities of my Eye of Heaven seemed to have gotten much stronger!" Zhao Feng elatedly said.


    This was the first time Zhao Feng had used the Eye of Heaven in the Ancient Dream Realm. In that moment, Zhao Feng sensed that he could borrow even more strength from the world to strengthen his eye-bloodline techniques.


    The Eye of Heaven would provide a boost to all of Zhao Feng''s various eye-bloodline techniques, and this boost was even larger in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "Eh? The ancient species are planning to move?" Zhao Feng muttered to himself, his left eye having sensed signs of activity on the far-off horizon.


    The location of this activity was precisely where the ten factions were fighting over the Spatial Lock Mirror.


    "That''s¡­!" Zhao Feng''s eyes widened in shock as if he had seen something absolutely terrifying.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    For the Spatial Lock Mirror, the ten factions were fighting with such ferocity that the earth shook and the heavens dimmed.


    Brrrooom!


    At this moment, the distant horizon began to shake, a cruel and ancient Qi surging into the air.


    "Watch out! A strong enemy has appeared!" Quasi-God Si Kong of the Tianyun Sacred Land retreated a step, ceasing his attacks.


    Swoosh swoosh¡­


    Two enormous figures, one black and one red, charged onto the scene.


    Boom!


    Dreadful and mighty Intent caused the auras of all the experts fighting for the Spatial Lock Mirror to freeze and their bodies to sink.


    Thwish!


    The enormous red figure charged straight at the Spatial Lock Mirror.


    "Stop!" a Rank Four True God of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land roared and immediately attacked.


    Kaboom!


    A blazing beam of light shot from the red figure, swallowing up the Rank Four True God. When the flame vanished, the person was no longer there!


    Hisss!


    The more than one hundred experts present felt their souls shiver, their bodies growing stiff as they stared at the enormous red figure.


    Awoooo!


    This was a massive Flame Qilin. Tremendous waves of energy radiated off it as it raised its savage face to the heavens and howled.


    Boooooom!


    The world shook as all the experts near the Flame Qilin felt their souls being heated up by an inextinguishable flame. The blood in their bodies trembled as if it wanted to explode from their bodies.


    Plush!


    Anyone with strength less than a Rank Four True God vomited blood.


    In the distance, those factions fighting for treasure beneath the transparent palace were also caught up in that invisible wave of energy.


    Rooooar!


    As the Flame Qilin roared, even more enormous ancient beasts surged out from behind it. These ancient beasts could not be considered very strong, but their numbers made them a terrifying force.


    However, everyone''s eyes continued to remain fixed on that blazing red Qilin.


    "Ancient God!" a Rank Five True God of the Tianyun Sacred Land murmured in shock. This powerful aura was definitely that of an Ancient God expert.


    "It''s actually an Ancient God!"


    A few experts from five-star powers reeled in shock upon hearing these words. The prodigies of the three Sacred Lands also felt their hearts sink.


    "This is the race ranked 125th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races ¨C the Blood Flame Qilin Race!" An extremely old Rank Four True God recognized the true identities of these two ancient beasts.


    A powerful Ancient God from a race ranked above two hundred on the ranking of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races! Just how dreadful would its strength be!?

 1196 Eye of Void

    Chapter 1196 - Eye of Void


    "Rank Seven Ancient God!"


    The experts fighting beneath the palace for treasure were left dumbfounded by this news. Although Ancient Gods were still within the nine ranks of True Gods, the fact that the distinction of "Ancient God" existed showed that there was a vast gap between those above and below the boundary of Ancient God.


    Among the major factions, Ancient Gods were supreme experts far beyond their reach. At this moment, the Red Flame Qilin leading the ancient races in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension was an Ancient God, and one from the Blood Flame Qilin Race.


    The red and ruthless eyes of the Qilin swept over the experts. All who felt its gaze felt their body tremble, their blood freezing in their veins.


    Whoosh!


    An Intent seized the Spatial Lock Mirror and tossed it to the black Qilin next to the red Qilin.


    "This treasure isn''t bad!" The black Qilin took the Spatial Lock Mirror with a smile on its face.


    The people of the Blood Flame Qilin Race could have different hues of blood running through their veins, and their bodies would burn with different colors of flame. This Black Flame Qilin clearly possessed a higher-level bloodline. However, the Black Flame Qilin was smaller and only had the cultivation of a Rank Four True God.


    "Young Master, refine it!" the Red Flame Qilin said.


    The ten major factions that had been fighting over the Spatial Lock Mirror became extremely gloomy. Their struggle had been vicious and they put their lives on the line, but in the end, this Red Flame Qilin snatched the Spatial Lock Mirror away.


    Moreover, once the Black Flame Qilin refined the Spatial Lock Mirror, they would be placed in an even more passive position.


    "Everyone, if we let that ancient beast refine the Spatial Lock Mirror, we''ll be in great danger!" A Rank Five True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land sent a message to all the experts present.


    "Right! Although they might have an Ancient God, it''s only one!" a Rank Five True God from the Tianyun Sacred Land replied.


    "All Rank Five True Gods present, we have to work together to deal with this Ancient God expert. Otherwise, we won''t be able to get anything!" A Rank Five True God of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land sent a message to all the experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    In the current situation, all of the factions needed to work together.


    However, the power of an Ancient God had made a very deep impression. The Rank Five True Gods of four-and-a-half-star and peak four-star powers were much weaker than the Rank Five True Gods of five-star powers and Sacred Lands. Moreover, they cared more about their own lives and profit and were unwilling to clash with an Ancient God.


    "In truth, if everyone is not willing, we three Sacred Lands have ways of safely withdrawing!" Quasi-God Si Kong of the Tianyun Sacred Land suddenly sent this message.


    These words astonished all the other factions.


    It was true. The God Realm Sacred Lands had incredibly deep reserves. Even if they were facing an Ancient God expert, they could still escape if needed. In that case, it would be the weaker factions that would suffer disaster.


    Gradually, the experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods reached a consensus. All the Rank Five True Gods decided to join together to fight against the Ancient God and the ancient beasts with Rank Five True God levels of strength. The struggle for treasure would be handed to the younger generation and the weaker True Gods.


    Of course, the Rank Five True Gods had definitely negotiated with the other True Gods within their respective factions so that they would receive a part of the spoils. After all, the Rank Five True Gods were taking a great risk in fighting the Ancient God so that the others could go after the treasure, so they naturally needed suitable compensation. Their reward could only be obtained from the Quasi-Gods and True Gods of their respective factions.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All ten factions, excluding their Rank Five True Gods, retreated. The rest of the Rank Five True Gods flew out from the rear.


    "Kill!" The Red Flame Qilin seemed to know what they were thinking and immediately attacked.


    Even if it was an Ancient God, it was not invincible. Moreover, the Rank Five True Gods that had shown up here were all on the stronger side, particularly those from the resource-rich Sacred Lands.


    Several Rank Five True Gods from the ancient races came up to assist the Red Flame Qilin. The remaining ancient beasts joined with the Black Flame Qilin and went to the palace to fight for treasure.


    "Go!"


    All the Rank Five True Gods of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods went into battle.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    The battle between the Ancient God and the Rank Five True Gods caused the entire world to pale. The Quasi-Gods and True Gods who were not participating in this battle could still sense the terrifying ripples of Intent, despite the distance.


    "Good, we''ve already gotten three treasures!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon grinned. One was in its Origin Dimension while the other two were in the little thieving cat''s stomach.


    The appearance of the Black Flame Qilin was actually a boon to Zhao Feng''s group because their group didn''t have any Rank Five True Gods in the first place.


    "I never thought that things would turn out this way!" Little Ling was greatly moved by these events.


    Now that the Rank Five True Gods were no longer participating in the struggle for treasure, Zhao Feng''s faction no longer seemed as weak. Before, they could only stir up trouble, but now, they could fight directly with other groups for treasure. Of course, there was still a large gap in strength between them and certain powerful groups.


    "Scram! I ¨C Quasi-God Heaven Swallower ¨C have taken a liking to this object!" A tall and imposing man loudly called out as he charged at some silver fruit.


    Boom! Bang!


    Every slap of his palms created black vortices that devoured the Intent of all nearby attacks.


    "Out of the way!"


    The experts of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land followed Quasi-God Heaven Swallower.


    "Mine!" Quasi-God Heaven Swallower smoothly got his hands on the silver fruit.


    "What do you think about giving that treasure to this one?" Quasi-God Si Kong''s tone was much gentler.


    Bzzzz!


    As Quasi-God Si Kong descended, all the surrounding experts instantly came under the effect of a strange Intent energy. Their attacks suddenly became extremely slow.


    "This is Speed Intent!" a Rank Four True God yelped in surprise.


    Speed Intent could slow down or accelerate one''s attacks, allowing them to be unleashed at the ideal moment. In addition, if Speed Intent was cultivated to a certain level, it could even alter the speed of the opponent''s attacks.


    The Tianyun Sacred Land was unique among the God Realm Sacred Lands of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods; it did not consider bloodline when taking disciples, only emphasizing powerful talent. Moreover, the Tianyun Sacred Land possessed a broad and deep range of techniques that extended into every possible avenue. For this reason, the Tianyun Sacred Land had geniuses of every kind, each of them with their own supreme and unique skills.


    "Haha, you people aren''t very strong at all!" The Black Flame Qilin charged in with a horde of ancient beasts.


    Boom!


    The Black Flame Qilin activated its bloodline, and its strength soared. Its entire body seethed with black flames that endlessly burned away anything they touched.


    Quite a few Rank Two True Gods were touched by the flames of the Black Flame Qilin and ended up being completely engulfed in those nigh-inextinguishable flames.


    "Aaaaaah!" An ordinary Quasi-God even had his soul burned to cinders by these flames.


    "This fellow''s flames are suffused with Destruction Intent!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon measured up the Black Flame Qilin.


    The black flames of this Qilin were extremely similar to its dragon breath of Origin Destruction. Of course, if their cultivations were equal, the flames of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon would be stronger.


    Whoosh!


    Another set of treasures fell from the palace, and all of these treasures had intelligence. The moment they dropped down, they scattered in different directions.


    Bzzzz!


    Suddenly, an enormous dark silver eye that appeared to be embedded in the fabric of space began to rapidly move.


    "Swallow!"


    The dark silver eye moved next to a writing brush and suddenly opened up into a spatial crack that sucked in the brush.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    This writing brush was also a spatial treasure, so it did everything it could to fight back.


    "Go!"


    Several experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land arrived and began to exert their own spatial powers.


    Boom!


    Pushed by the spatial energy, the writing brush was finally sucked into the spatial crack.


    Whoosh!


    The enormous silver eye immediately vanished.


    "As expected of Quasi-God Kong Yuan, using such a method to seize treasure!" Quasi-God Si Kong said in praise.


    "Hmph, lurking in the shadows, a turtle hiding in its shell!" Quasi-God Heaven Swallower said with disdain.


    He originally planned to have a bout with Quasi-God Kong Yuan, but the current situation was far too chaotic. Moreover, even if he knew that Quasi-God Kong Yuan was using the Eye of Void, he was incapable of finding Kong Yuan''s hiding place.


    The Eye of Void was the Space Intent that Quasi-God Kong Yuan had derived from the Eye of Spacetime. It could transfer through space, making it impossible to find out where Quasi-God Kong Yuan was hiding.


    At this moment, in a place extremely far from the transparent palace, a figure was hiding in a place that no one could see.


    "What a powerful offensive spatial divine weapon!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan was carefully inspecting the writing brush in his hand. Even though he had his own offensive divine weapon, the Space Intent it contained was weaker than this writing brush.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Quasi-God Kong Yuan sent a strand of Divine Power and Soul Power into the writing brush and slowly began to refine it, but he kept the majority of his mind on observing the skies.


    "The Spacetime Robe! I wonder if I will be able to obtain you!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s gaze fell upon that silver robe in the transparent palace.


    Only an extremely small number of experts of the Sacred Land knew the secret of the Spacetime Robe. The majority of the people present had yet to recognize it for what it was. Quasi-God Kong Yuan, as one of the supreme geniuses of the Spacetime Sacred Land, knew a few of this robe''s secrets.


    "If I can get the Spacetime Robe, the path to becoming an Ancient God will be much simpler, and my chances of becoming a God Lord will also increase!"


    Quasi-God Kong Yuan felt an enormous desire for the Spacetime Robe. However, the Spacetime Robe was still floating around randomly in the transparent palace, and Kong Yuan did not dare to get too close to the palace. Thus, he could only wait until the Spacetime Robe came out on its own.


    "Eh? That golden eye¡­!" At this moment, Quasi-God Kong Yuan noticed that an enormous golden eye had appeared in the sky.


    This golden Eye of Heaven was even larger than his Eye of Void, and it was even more focused, even more in union with the heavens and earth, and simply overflowing with power.


    "A golden eye¡­ the Eye of Destruction? But how could the Eye of Destruction use Space Intent?" Quasi-God Kong Yuan became pensive.


    Even Quasi-God Kong Yuan, who had always been proud of his Eye of Spacetime, felt a little fear when he saw this golden eye.


    "It seems that there''s another outstanding genius hiding around here. It might be someone from the Tianyun Sacred Land!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan muttered to himself.


    The Tianyun Sacred Land had every kind of talent. Even though it had been established relatively late, it could not be underestimated. It might even surpass a majority of the God Realm Sacred Lands given enough time.


    "It''s that golden eye again!"


    "Damn it! Is he a member of the Spacetime Sacred Land or not!?"


    By now, the golden eye had appeared quite a few times. Moreover, the golden eye''s skills were extremely powerful. Physical attacks had no effect on it. Only the soul attacks of Rank Four True Gods could disturb it.


    "Eh? This treasure seems to be an Interspatial Dimension!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s eyes locked onto a silver bracelet.


    None of the treasures here could be taken into Interspatial Dimensions, and there was no time to refine them. However, if one were to get their hands on a divine weapon with an Interspatial Dimension, then as long as one refined it, one could put all the other treasure into it.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    An enormous dark silver eye appeared over the Interspatial Dimension.


    "Quasi-God Kong Yuan is moving again!" An expert who had just been preparing to try for the silver bracelet sighed in despair.


    Suddenly, on the other end of the silver bracelet, a massive golden eye slowly appeared.


    The appearance of these two eyes made it seem like the heavens themselves had opened their eyes. Two different but equally terrifying forces exploded onto the scene, forcing all the experts back. They did not dare to fight against the heavens!

 1197 A Contest of Space Transference Eyes

    Chapter 1197 - A Contest of Space Transference Eyes


    The two eyes embedded in the sky both stared at the same silver bracelet. The terrifying pressure they exuded caused all the nearby experts to back up.


    "So, this golden eye didn''t belong to the Spacetime Sacred Land?" Quasi-God Heaven Swallower said in surprise. He was under the impression that this golden eye belonged to someone from the Spacetime Sacred Land. It was only now that this golden eye began to compete with Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s dark silver eye that he realized he was mistaken.


    The other experts fighting for treasure thought the same as Quasi-God Heaven Swallower.


    "Since this golden eye doesn''t belong to a genius of the Spacetime Sacred Land, then whose is it? Just who would dare to compete for treasure against Quasi-God Kong Yuan of the Spacetime Sacred Land?" a genius Quasi-God asked with shock on his face.


    "Who is it? Who dares to oppose Quasi-God Kong Yuan of the Spacetime Sacred Land!?" a True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land growled. However, he actually didn''t care all that much. Quasi-God Kong Yuan was the strongest Quasi-God of the Spacetime Sacred Land, with the strength of a Rank Four True God. This golden eye was simply suicidal to be challenging him.


    Whoosh!


    The silver eye suddenly opened a spatial path, which exerted a powerful attractive force on the silver bracelet.


    Bzzzz!


    The golden eye created a vortex that unleashed a ripple of Eye Intent upon the silver bracelet.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The silver eye responded by releasing spatial shadows that filled the sky.


    Bzzzz!


    As these spatial shadows swept over the ripple of Eye Intent, the Space Intent that formed the vortex was thrown into disorder. All the other experts fighting for treasure in the surroundings were similarly affected by the dark silver eye, becoming incapable of using Space Intent.


    "Haha, Quasi-God Kong Yuan has a very strong Eye of Spacetime bloodline. You''ll just disgrace yourself by fighting him!" A group that previously fought with the golden eye over treasure began to jeer at and ridicule it.


    "Hmph, Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s Space Intent has reached Level Four. This golden eye is out of its mind if it thinks it can steal treasure from right under the Eye of Void!" a True God from the Spacetime Sacred Land jeered.


    Two hundred thousand li underground, Zhao Feng gave an awkward smile. Zhao Feng didn''t really want to fight with Quasi-God Kong Yuan, but he also wanted to experience the powers of the Eye of Spacetime. Thus, he made the Eye of Heaven appear to fight with Kong Yuan for treasure.


    "Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s Space Intent has reached an absurd level. My Void Snatching is no use against him!" Zhao Feng murmured in understanding.


    "I''ll play around with him a little longer though!" Zhao Feng suddenly gave a wicked smile.


    Since everyone still had no idea of who was fighting Quasi-God Kong Yuan, he might as well keep playing with this Eye of Void.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In the air, the spatial crack in the middle of the silver eye strengthened its attractive force, pulling on the silver bracelet.


    Suddenly, the golden eye began to crackle with purple lightning as a dreadful Eye Intent began to gather around it.


    Kacrack!


    A gold-and-purple lightning-fire, imbued with the power of Destructive Tribulation Lightning, exploded against the silver eye.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The silver eye trembled, flickering between illusion and reality, and the spatial path in its center was forced shut.


    "What a powerful eye-bloodline technique!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan focused his eyes.


    The Eye of Void was a Space Intent he had derived from the Eye of Spacetime. It was imbued with his Intent, meaning that soul attacks were effective against it.


    "This person''s eyes aren''t skilled at Space Intent, but they are skilled at soul attacks!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan muttered to himself.


    In contrast to Zhao Feng, Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s Eye of Spacetime was good at Space Intent but poor at soul attacks.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    In the sky, the dark silver eye suddenly solidified. It was clear that Quasi-God Kong Yuan was now serious, all his attention on this battle.


    Bzzz! Swoosh!


    Space Intent flowed through the silver eye, forming into a sharp spatial edge that sliced at the golden eye.


    "Quasi-God Kong Yuan has begun his counterattack. Those spatial edges can easily kill a Rank Three True God!" a True God expert said in alarm.


    Swish!


    The spatial edges swept right through the golden eye.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The only effect it had on the golden eye was to make it slightly tremble.


    "It didn''t have much effect on that golden eye at all!" a Quasi-God cried out in alarm.


    "The golden eye and the silver eye are constructed differently. The golden eye is primarily made up of soul power, so physical attacks can''t damage it very much!" a Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land immediately observed. And in his view, the golden eye was more in harmony with the world.


    "Space Intent type attacks only affect the soul a little, so they can only inflict partial harm to me!" Zhao Feng''s expression was unchanged. His soul''s defenses were extremely strong, so this minor damage barely registered.


    Upon seeing that his attacks did little damage to the golden eye, Quasi-God Kong Yuan began to circulate his Space Intent once more.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The silver eye caused space around it to vibrate and tremble. A ghostly image seemed to layer itself over the air, causing space in the area to become extremely unstable.


    "This move should work!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan muttered to himself.


    The golden eye was embedded in space, so he would use Space Intent to make all space in the area extremely unstable. This way, the golden eye wouldn''t be able to maintain its position.


    "Heh, then I won''t be polite either!" Zhao Feng naturally knew what Quasi-God Kong Yuan was up to.


    However, Zhao Feng''s Eye of Heaven was in extreme harmony with the Ancient Dream Realm. This was Zhao Feng''s world, and even if Quasi-God Kong Yuan destabilized the surrounding space, Zhao Feng''s Eye of Heaven would still be able to stand firm. At most, its power would decrease a little.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    The golden Eye of Heaven began to crackle with Destructive arcs of white-and-gold lightning.


    Kacrack!


    A ball of purple lightning-fire burst out of the golden eye.


    Crackle! Hisss!


    In a flash, the dark silver eye was assailed by Tribulation Lightning. The Destructive power of the Tribulation Lightning passed through the Eye of Void to strike directly at Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s soul.


    "Ugh!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan groaned, the thunderous attacks against his soul causing his eyes to half-close in pain.


    At the same time, the silver eye in the sky disappeared.


    "It was actually useless!?" Quasi-God Kong Yuan was flabbergasted. His widespread destabilization of space apparently did nothing to the golden eye. After that, the soul attack from his opponent was truly terrifying.


    Bzzzz!


    The power of wind and lightning raged around the golden eye, as if proclaiming its victory.


    Swish!


    A ripple of Eye Intent sucked in the silver bracelet.


    "What? Quasi-God Kong Yuan lost?" The people of the Spacetime Sacred Land were dumbfounded.


    In the clash between two Eyes of Space Transference, Quasi-God Kong Yuan unexpectedly lost.


    How could that be? Was the user of the golden eye even stronger than Kong Yuan? They believed that this match was certain victory for Kong Yuan, so none of them had interfered, but the result completely overturned their understanding of the world.


    "Interesting!" Quasi-God Si Kong stared at the Eye of Heaven and gave a profound smile. It was able to win against an inheritor of one of the Eight Great God Eyes, but it was apparently not one of the Eight Great God Eyes!


    "Just who is behind this golden eye?" Quasi-God Heaven Swallower''s eyes exuded a chilling light, but he noticed nothing as he surveyed his surroundings.


    Although a contest between two eyes could not be used as a representative of one''s full strength, for the opponent to defeat Quasi-God Kong Yuan in eye-bloodline techniques was simply unbelievable!


    "As expected of the Ninth God Eye!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon naturally noticed this contest between the two eyes, but it hadn''t expected for Zhao Feng to win this bout.


    "Victory!" Zhao Feng gave a satisfied smile.


    Although Zhao Feng had won, this did not mean that he was a match for Quasi-God Kong Yuan.


    After all, in the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng''s Eye of Space Transference could use eye-bloodline techniques at their maximum level of power, but the Eye of Spacetime did not have the same special authority. In addition, the Eye of Spacetime''s usefulness was more evident on the battlefield; its expertise was in controlling and using the power of space, not eye-bloodline techniques.


    Zhao Feng began to refine the Interspatial Dimension, with the rest of his mind focused on observing the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group and using the Eye of Heaven to steal more treasures.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group had the Rank Four True God Little Ling in its ranks, so as long as they didn''t encounter some overly powerful group, they would essentially be safe. Zhao Feng''s use of the Eye of Heaven would also indirectly assist the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group.


    After this clash of Space Transference Eyes, there was no second clash. After all, the most important issue of the day was taking the treasures, not fighting to the death over a momentary flash of anger.


    However, as the golden eye moved, everyone became even more curious ¨C just who was its master?


    "Steal the treasures of the Golden Jade Race!" Zhao Feng''s voice rang out in the souls of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group.


    "Understood!" A sinister smile appeared on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s face.


    The only Rank Five True God of the Golden Jade Race, Tianhua, was fighting with the Red Flame Qilin. The strongest members left in the Golden Jade Race group were only Rank Three True Gods.


    At this moment, the Golden Jade Race was fighting with two other groups over a picture scroll. The picture scroll would occasionally unleash a few vistas that would cause people to sink into an illusory world.


    "I got it!"


    In the end, all three parties were heavily injured, and the Golden Jade Race emerged with the picture scroll in hand. The two other groups joined together in pursuit.


    "Run!"


    After getting the picture scroll, the Golden Jade Race decided to beat a temporary retreat. They would refine the picture scroll first and then reenter the struggle.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group blocked their path.


    "Where are you going!?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon angrily roared, the pressure of its terrifying bloodline causing all the Golden Jade Race members to tremble.


    "It''s you!"


    The people from the Golden Jade Race naturally recognized the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group.


    With the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon blocking the Golden Jade Race group, the other two factions quickly caught up.


    "Kill!"


    The three sides immediately attacked the Golden Jade Race group.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group naturally did not use its full strength, and it even "inadvertently" attacked the two other groups. In the end, the Golden Jade Race suffered severe casualties, the other two groups fared little better, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group smoothly obtained the picture scroll.


    "Damn!" Quasi-God Di Lin was furious. If he had known that this would happen, he would have never offended Zhao Feng.


    Brrrooom!


    Suddenly, the transparent palace over everyone''s heads began to shake and quiver.


    Boooooom!


    Within the palace, four treasures shining with resplendent light and bursting with intelligence were flying heedlessly around, smashing into walls. One of these treasures was the Spacetime Robe.


    Everyone understood that these four treasures were the most precious ones in the palace. An extremely small number of people recognized one or two of these treasures, but they would never admit to that.


    Each of them had already chosen one of these treasures as their ultimate goal.


    Boom! Creeeak!


    The cracks on the palace increased, and it seemed on the verge of shattering apart!

 1198 Treasures Appear in Unison

    Chapter 1198 - Treasures Appear in Unison


    Deep underground, Zhao Feng finished refining the silver bracelet he had stolen from Quasi-God Kong Yuan. After putting on the silver bracelet, Zhao Feng placed all the other treasure he had taken into it.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng emerged from the earth.


    The constant use of the Eye of Heaven placed a heavy burden on Zhao Feng. If he used up all his soul and eye-bloodline energy, he wouldn''t be able to use the God''s Spiritual Eye anymore.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng unfurled a pair of golden wings and flew over to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group.


    "Conserve your strength. Prepare to fight for the treasure!" Zhao Feng''s voice rang out in their minds.


    All of them nodded. They originally believed that getting their hands on one or two treasures would be decent, with none of them even thinking about pursuing the most valuable treasures of the transparent palace. However, the arrival of the Red Flame Qilin was restraining all the Rank Five True Gods, leveling the playing field for Zhao Feng''s small team and allowing them to reap a richer harvest. They now also had the opportunity to participate in the struggle for the even more important treasures.


    Right now, everyone could tell that the transparent palace overhead could fall apart at any time. When that time came, all the treasures would fall out.


    Zhao Feng''s team mixed into the crowd, occasionally fighting with weaker groups for treasure. None of them used their full strength, and they would rest to recover the energy they did use.


    In these battles, Zhao Feng did not use his eye. He could rely purely on the Sacred Lightning Body and Lightning-Fire Obliteration to crush an average Rank Two True God.


    "Big Bro, I saw Zhao Feng!" Hu Cheng suddenly saw the nearby Zhao Feng and turned toward his big brother in shock.


    The Blue Scaled Race didn''t originally have any plans to fight for the treasure here, but before the opening of the transparent palace, Hu Cheng''s group ran into another group from their race. A Rank Four True God was in this group, so the Blue Scaled Race decided to come and test their luck. Their team had more than most, and with the Rank Five True Gods drawn away, they managed to obtain quite a few divine weapons and treasures.


    "Quasi-God Lan Ye, Zhao Feng is over there!" The Hu brothers immediately turned to Quasi-God Lan Ye.


    The Hu brothers had no status in their team, so they could only rely on Quasi-God Lan Ye. Lan Ye previously made a bet of three moves with Zhao Feng, and he had suffered a miserable defeat. As a result, Quasi-God Lan Ye wanted to kill Zhao Feng even more than the Hu brothers.


    "Haha, it really is that brat!" Quasi-God Lan Ye gave a savage smile, oozing with killing intent. He began to communicate with the experts of his group.


    Of the Quasi-God experts in the team, no one except Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi dared to defy Quasi-God Lan Ye. Besides that, a large portion of the True God experts also stood on Quasi-God Lan Ye''s side. In the end, the team from the Blue Scaled Race decided to attack Zhao Feng''s group.


    "You two¡­! Living off one party while helping the other!" a Rank Three True God cursed. He was naturally referring to Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi.


    "Kill them all!" the Rank Four True God of the Blue Scaled Race said, his eyes like two blocks of ice.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sixteen experts of the Blue Scaled Race took off with furious momentum toward Zhao Feng''s team.


    "The Blue Scaled Race! Run!" Zhao Feng had already noticed their strange movements.


    The Blue Scaled Race had too many people, and there was even a Rank Four True God. Zhao Feng naturally did not wish to have a direct confrontation with them.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s group quickly began to flee. Little Ling, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and Zhao Feng were the fastest, followed by the blue-clothed elder and Zhao Wan, and finally Zhao Wang at the very end. Of course, Zhao Wang was still rather fast; he was just much slower compared to the rest of the group.


    Swish! Swish!


    "Where are you running!?"


    The Blue Scaled Race''s Rank Four True God and a small number of experts broke away from the rest of the pack, slowly catching up to Zhao Feng. Meanwhile, the majority of the group was left far behind.


    As Wei Ke and Ma Lingshi were two of the weaker members of the group and they hadn''t wanted to chase after Zhao Feng in the first place, they stopped midway.


    "Zhao Feng, obediently accept your death, and I can let the rest of the people in your group go!" Quasi-God Lan Ye gave a sinister smile.


    The other experts of the Blue Scaled Race nodded their heads. Quasi-God Lan Ye''s plan was truly superb. When facing death, even people with the best relationships might contemplate betrayal.


    But to their surprise, every member of Zhao Feng''s group acted like they didn''t hear these words, their speed not slowing in the slightest.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In this pursuit, the fastest six members of the Blue Scaled Race reached Zhao Feng''s team first.


    "Die!" The Rank Four True God immediately attacked Zhao Wang, who was at the very back of the group.


    Thwish!


    An enormous blue sword swept forward, its edge rippling with astonishing waves. From a distance, this slash seemed like a tsunami that would envelop and devour all.


    Whoosh!


    Little Ling suddenly turned around and attacked.


    Kabooom!


    Blue and purple flames filled the sky, condensing into an enormous net of flames.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    Fire and water clashed, and the attack of the Rank Four True God was neutralized.


    "Milady is as beautiful as a flower and also rather strong. Why not work with the Blue Scaled Race?" The lecherous eyes of a Rank Three True God from the Blue Scaled Race hovered over Little Ling''s charming figure.


    But then, all six members of the Blue Scaled Race, including the Rank Four True God, were taken aback in shock; all of Zhao Feng''s team suddenly turned around and began to attack them.


    "Little Ling, Zhao Wang, the two of you deal with the Rank Four True God. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and I will quickly kill off one Rank Three True God. The rest of you, hold back the rest of the Blue Scaled Race!" Zhao Feng issued his orders the moment they began to move.


    With only six members of the Blue Scaled Race currently present, Zhao Feng''s side had a chance at victory. Through this battle, they could even completely turn the tides on the Blue Scaled Race.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Zhao Feng swiftly joined the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon in converging on a Rank Three True God.


    Cling clang!


    A black metal sword appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand ¨C the transformed Ancient God Seal.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng used the Lightning-Fire Obliteration to create a destructive golden energy slash.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon circulated its Origin Destruction Energy and used its most powerful move.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    The thunderous strikes from this pair left the Rank Three True God with no time to react.


    "Kill!" The powerful bodies of Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon put aside everything else to attack.


    "Flame Slicer!" Little Ling waved her hands, sending countless threads of fire flying toward the Rank Four True God.


    "A trifling trick!" The Blue Scaled Race Rank Four True God waved his sword, unleashing slash after slash of enormous blue waves.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Wang attacked the Rank Four True God from the side.


    "A mere Quasi-God! You''re seeking death!" The Rank Four True God snorted in derision. Just one weak Quasi-God wouldn''t even be able to harm a hair on his body.


    Swish!


    Suddenly, a pitch-black staff appeared in Zhao Wang''s hand, and the surrounding sky immediately went dark.


    "This is Death Energy!" The Rank Four True God''s body froze as he sensed a mortal threat from that wicked aura.


    "Black Hole of Death!" Zhao Wang gripped the Staff of Death Curse as he activated the Eye of Death.


    Thwish!


    The Staff of Death Curse and the Eye of Death resonated with each other, unleashing a black mist bursting with wicked energy and Intent.


    Boom!


    Caught off guard, the Rank Four True God was engulfed by the black mist.


    Hwooom!


    The black mist immediately transformed into a black hole that began to suck away at the Rank Four True God''s soul and vitality.


    Boom!


    The Rank Four True God of the Blue Scaled Race had to burn up his Divine Power, exploding with astonishing Intent energy so that he could retreat.


    "Aaaaah!"


    One of the Rank Four True God''s arms was completely devoured by the black hole, severely damaging both his body and soul. In addition, he could also sense that the power of an intangible curse now haunted his body.


    "Just what kind of power is this?" The Rank Four True God paled as he stared in fear at Zhao Wang.


    However, Zhao Wang had already put away the Staff of Death Curse. After all, this was a divine weapon of a similar quality as the supreme treasures in the transparent palace. It could not be carelessly exposed to outsiders.


    "Aaaah!"


    Elsewhere, Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon finished off the Rank Three True God.


    Only two seconds had passed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, the rest of the Blue Scaled Race''s experts finally arrived.


    "How could this be?" Hu Cheng was stunned.


    When they arrived, they saw that their Rank Four True God had lost an arm and one of their Rank Three True Gods had been killed. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng''s group had reassembled, their expressions composed as they faced the Blue Scaled Race. None of them were running, and none of them seemed panicked.


    "Let''s go!" After a few moments of stalemate, the Rank Four True God suddenly shouted this order through clenched teeth.


    His injuries were not something as simple as a lost arm. Both his soul and vitality were being corroded by Death Intent. In addition, the power of a curse was also troubling him. His body was currently in an extremely poor state. If he did not immediately begin treatment, his injuries would worsen.


    Moreover, he was still somewhat afraid of the divine weapon Zhao Wang had used. In addition, the treasures of the transparent palace might appear at any moment. He needed to recover his strength as quickly as possible so that he could still participate in the upcoming battle.


    "We''re not killing them?" Quasi-God Lan Ye was stunned beyond belief. The Rank Four God of the Blue Scaled Race was actually shrinking back. Just what happened a moment ago?


    "Hmph!"


    The Rank Four True God angrily snorted, and the energy of the world instantly pressed down on Quasi-God Lan Ye.


    Thump thump!


    Quasi-God Lan Ye was forced back two steps, and then he lowered his head and fell silent.


    Brrrooom!


    At this very moment, the transparent palace in the sky exploded.


    Kabooom!


    A fierce spatial storm swept through the area, causing the world to twist and contort.


    At this moment, all the experts fighting for treasure were struck dumb. Even the Red Flame Qilin and the Rank Five True Gods battling in the distance paused for a moment.


    Thwish!


    Several silver balls of light leaped out from the spatial storm. The fact that these treasures had emerged unscathed from the destructive spatial storm was proof of their quality.


    Four of them stood out among the rest, exuding astonishing ripples of power.


    "Treasure¡­ real treasure has appeared!"


    The small groups down below immediately became excited.


    "The Spacetime Robe!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan locked his eyes onto one of the dazzling objects, the dark silver robe.


    "The Heaven Yuan Stone Disc!" Quasi-God Si Kong of the Tianyun Sacred Land also had his eyes on a treasure. This was an ancient gray stone disk, its surface covered with profound and abstruse inscriptions.


    "Not good, the treasures have already appeared!" The Rank Four True God of the Blue Scaled Race grew even more infuriated. For the sake of Quasi-God Lan Ye''s private grudge, he had been heavily injured and probably lost any chance of getting those treasures.


    "Master, which one should we try for?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately asked, its heart thumping. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon only knew that there were four of these treasures more precious than the rest, but he didn''t recognize a single one of them!

 1199 The Spacetime Robe

    Chapter 1199 - The Spacetime Robe


    "Let''s wait and see," Zhao Feng replied after a moment of thought.


    Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to get his hands on a treasure just because he wanted it. He naturally had to choose the easier targets. He would try to fight for whichever treasure he had the best chance of getting.


    Other than the four major treasures, quite a few treasures on the level of the Spatial Lock Mirror had also come down in this batch.


    "Let''s go!" The Rank Four True God of the Blue Scaled Race quickly left with his group. It wasn''t his destiny to obtain any of the most valuable treasures, but those lower-ranked treasures were still extremely precious to someone like him.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In a flash, seventy percent of the teams charged into the air. The majority of them were after the four major treasures, with the smaller teams acknowledging that they had no chance and pursuing the lesser treasures. A small number of teams decided to just watch for now.


    "Just what level of divine weapon is this!?" A small group carelessly approached a long silver sword. From a distance, they could sense the powerful all-destroying Sword Intent on this silver sword.


    Thwish!


    The silver sword suddenly turned around and began to charge straight at this group. When the sword turned its tip toward the group, all the members felt like they had ended up in a world of swords, the surrounding air packed to the brim with Sword Intent.


    Swish!


    In a silver flash, the sword pierced through space and appeared right in front of the group.


    Swoosh!


    As the sword flew past, five experts in the group had their bodies and souls cleaved in two and plummeted to the ground. The survivors stood frozen in shock, not daring to move a muscle.


    This scene also intimidated all the other groups intending to approach the sword.


    "A good sword!" A flash of light moved through Quasi-God Heaven Swallower''s eyes. Such a terrifying sword was naturally a perfect match for him.


    Thwish!


    Even after killing five people, the silver sword did not leave. It continued to brashly fly around as if challenging the people below.


    "Help me get that sword!" Quasi-God Heaven Swallower ordered the experts of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.


    The God Realm Sacred Lands had extremely deep reserves of resources, and they had all naturally come to this secret dimension amply prepared. However, even they needed to be cautious around such a powerful sword.


    Elsewhere, the Tianyun Sacred Land and several other groups were trying to get the gray stone disc. However, every time they got within one hundred zhang of the stone disc, they would run into a spatial barrier. Mysterious and ancient words flashed atop the surface of this spatial barrier.


    "Only by comprehending these words can one approach the Heaven Yuan Stone Disc!" Quasi-God Si Kong said with a slightly gloomy expression. He was somewhat familiar with these words, but he could only read them. Truly understanding their contents was a truly arduous task.


    "Keep a close eye on this treasure!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan of the Spacetime Sacred Land pointed at the Spacetime Robe as he ordered.


    Swish! Swish!


    The Spacetime Robe glimmered in the air as it drifted here and there, no one able to approach it. However, in comparison to the other treasures, the risk of pursuing the Spacetime Robe was the lowest.


    "We''ll make our objective that silver robe for now." After observing the situation for a few moments, Zhao Feng sent a message to the other members of his group.


    Zhao Feng didn''t use swords, so the silver sword would not be very useful. As for the gray disc, Zhao Feng would not be able to overcome the trial it presented.


    The other treasure was a ball of violet flame burning in the air. This treasure might be suitable for Zhao Feng, but the Black Flame Qilin had its eyes set on it. The Black Flame Qilin and the ancient beasts accompanying it were stronger than any one of the three Sacred Lands. The danger was too great, so Zhao Feng gave up on that treasure.


    This left only the silver robe!


    In Zhao Feng''s view, this silver robe might be the most precious of all four major treasures. Moreover, this silver robe also did not seem to have much of an aggressive nature. All it had done up to now was twinkle in the air as it evaded everyone''s pursuit.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the others followed Zhao Feng in flying toward a certain direction.


    "This treasure belongs to the Blue Scaled Race!"


    The members of the Blue Scaled Race were fighting with another group over a different treasure. As most of the experts were focused on the four major treasures, the struggles over these lesser treasures were not as intense.


    "Brat, what do you mean by this?" The members of the Blue Scaled Race suddenly noticed that Zhao Feng''s team was coming at them.


    "Naturally, it''s because we''ve taken a liking to this treasure!" Zhao Feng gave a wicked smile.


    The Blue Scaled Race tried to kill them just a few moments earlier, but they left once they failed. Zhao Feng was no altruist; if he had the chance, he would not let the people of the Blue Scaled Race go.


    "Flame Slicer!" Little Ling was merciless, immediately using a lethal move.


    Swooosh!


    Threads of fire joined together into a rainbow net of flame that flew through the air at the Blue Scaled Race.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!"


    "Humming Thunder, Flash of Lightning!"


    ¡­


    Everyone in Zhao Feng''s team immediately attacked.


    "Go!"


    The members of the Blue Scaled Race joined together to resist. They had the advantage in numbers and had no fear of Zhao Feng''s group.


    "Junior, the Blue Scaled Race inflicted no harm on you. There is no need to fight with each other like this!" the Rank Four True God of the Blue Scaled Race urged. His gaze was fixed on Zhao Wang. The divine weapon of death that Zhao Wang possessed was definitely not ordinary. He had still not recovered from his previous injury.


    "What¡­?" The rest of the Blue Scaled Race members were flabbergasted, with none more shocked than Quasi-God Lan Ye. Their Rank Four True God was actually yielding to Zhao Feng and asking for peace terms!


    "The Blue Scaled Race pursued us just a minute ago, intending to kill us. If we had asked for peace, would the Blue Scaled Race have agreed?" Zhao Feng sneered.


    Before going to kill others, one had to prepare to be killed.


    "Hehe, good sirs, let''s work together and take care of the Blue Scaled Race, and then we can decide who the treasure belongs to!" The other group saw that there was a conflict between Zhao Feng and the Blue Scaled Race and immediately issued an invitation.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng''s team and the other team joined together and attacked the Blue Scaled Race.


    "Retreat!" the Blue Scaled Race''s Rank Four True God bellowed.


    By joining together, Zhao Feng''s side now had a similar amount of people, but their fighting power far surpassed the Blue Scaled Race''s.


    Swish!


    Golden wings twinkled as Zhao Feng transformed into a stream of golden light, charging straight at the two Hu brothers.


    When Zhao Feng first joined the Blue Scaled Race''s group, Hu Cheng had caused nothing but trouble for him. At the critical moment, he even abandoned the members of his own race and fled by himself. Later on, he led another group of people to deal with Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng''s conflicts with the Blue Scaled Race all started with Hu Cheng.


    "Sky Penetrating Finger!" Zhao Feng circulated the Lightning-Fire Obliteration and shot it out from the tip of his index finger.


    Thwish!


    A slender golden flame seared through the air, crossing vast distances in the blink of an eye.


    "Aaaaah!" Hu Cheng screamed, no longer able to escape. He thoroughly regretted making trouble for Zhao Feng!


    Slain in a single blow! Zhao Feng was a Quasi-God now, and the power of his Lightning-Fire Obliteration was even greater than before. When joined together with his Level One Fire Intent and the Sky Penetrating Finger, it was far too easy to instantly obliterate Hu Cheng.


    "Little Bro!" Hu Sang shouted in anger, but he could only turn and flee as quickly as he could. Among the Blue Scaled Race, the one Zhao Feng hated the most was Hu Cheng, while second could only be him or Quasi-God Lan Ye!


    But at this moment, the Rank Four True God of the Blue Scaled Race had no interest in fighting against two groups. He ran away the fastest, and the rest of the group could only follow. No one cared if Hu Sang lived or died.


    "Little Ling, kill Quasi-God Lan Ye!" Zhao Feng messaged Little Ling. Unless he used some of his trump cards, Zhao Feng would find it very difficult to kill Quasi-God Lan Ye, so he left this task to Little Ling.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng used his Metal Lightning Radiance Wings to rapidly catch up to Hu Sang.


    "Zhao Feng, let me go! You already killed my little brother!" Hu Sang could feel the dreadful Wind Lightning Intent behind, and his entire body shuddered in fear. Zhao Feng was far too fast. It was impossible for him to escape.


    "You''re the big brother. Shouldn''t you accompany him?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated his Soul Power and Sacred Power into a palm made of golden lightning flames.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    Hu Sang did his best to resist, but he was far too weak. Zhao Feng''s attack pushed him back several dozen li, leaving his body charred black.


    Thwish!


    With a Sky Penetrating Finger, Zhao Feng took his life.


    Elsewhere, Quasi-God Lan Ye had a few experts protecting him. Even when the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon caught up and began to help Little Ling, it was still very difficult to kill Lan Ye. After all, Quasi-God Lan Ye was a prodigy of the Blue Scaled Race, on a completely different level from the Hu brothers.


    "Master, the people of the Spacetime Sacred Land are getting closer to that silver robe!" At this moment, the blue-clothed elder sent Zhao Feng a message.


    Zhao Feng turned his eyes to scan the skies. The many experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land as well as various others who wanted the Spacetime Robe had managed to use some method to restrict the movements of the Spacetime Robe. Nearly fifty people were around the Spacetime Robe.


    "Stop the pursuit of the Blue Scaled Race!"


    With this shouted order, everyone turned and flew together with Zhao Feng toward the Spacetime Robe! Although the Spacetime Robe had been restricted to a certain area, it was still extremely fast, and it could also use spatial techniques like Instant Movement. As a result, no one had been able to catch it yet.


    "The Spacetime Robe!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s eyes shone with excitement as he took out a silver-colored jade talisman.


    "Go!" Kong Yuan threw the talisman at the Spacetime Robe.


    Swish!


    Just as expected, the Spacetime Robe evaded the talisman.


    "Explode!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan activated his Divine Power as he bellowed.


    Brrrooom!


    The silver talisman immediately exploded, and Space Intent mixed with soul ripples spread through the area. All the space around the point of the explosion began to contort while the powerful soul ripples swept through the surroundings.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The weak Intent of the Spacetime Robe trembled as it paused for a second.


    Those who did not know what was going to happen were also affected by the explosion, the experts with weaker Soul Intent even falling unconscious.


    "Charge!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan was the first to shoot forward.


    A portion of the Spacetime Sacred Land''s people managed to maintain their consciousness and followed him.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The experts who were watching from nearby also began to move.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Zhao Feng, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and the others rapidly began to approach the Spacetime Robe as well.


    "I got it!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan was still the fastest, however, and his hand snatched at the Spacetime Robe.


    Swish!


    But to everyone''s surprise, Kong Yuan''s hand went straight through the Spacetime Robe.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Spacetime Robe began to exude a wondrous spatial shadow that filled the area.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Anyone who was within a certain distance of the Spacetime Robe was suddenly covered in a layer of silver light, and then, with a Swish!, they vanished.


    All the nearby experts were dumbfounded by this scene. The Spacetime Robe had vanished along with all the people close to it!


    Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan stood in the air, but there was no concern on their faces. They knew that, at this moment, Zhao Feng was fine!

 1200 Spacetime Combat Skills

    Chapter 1200 - Spacetime Combat Skills


    "Where is this?"


    "What happened?


    Zhao Feng could hear many alarmed and questioning voices.


    Zhao Feng scanned the area. This was a void dimension in which forty-two bubbles floated, each one holding a single person. A silver door gleamed in front of each of them.


    Bang!


    Some of the people tried to blast through the bubbles, but they soon realized that even their strongest attacks failed to shake the bubbles.


    "The power of space!" a Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land murmured as he touched the bubble.


    This was a miniature dimension of an extremely high level. None of the people present were capable of destroying it.


    Bzzzz!


    At this moment, a half-transparent, long-haired elder appeared over everyone. He wore none other than the Spacetime Robe.


    "Senior, who are you? Why are we trapped here?"


    The moment the elder appeared, everyone began to question him.


    "Didn''t all of you want the Spacetime Robe? It was your own choice to enter!" A profound smile appeared on the old man''s kindly face.


    "The Spacetime Robe?"


    Quite a few people were still confused by this name, but others instantly recalled the secret of the Spacetime Robe, their faces contorting in shock.


    Whoosh!


    The elder stretched out a hand, scattering silver radiance onto the spatial bubbles.


    "Eh? Words and pictures suddenly appeared on the bubble!" a person cried out in alarm.


    The rest soon realized that their own bubbles were being covered in countless words and a simple picture.


    "This is¡­ a combat skill!" Shock appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes. As he swept his eyes around, he realized that, while he could see the combat skill on his own spatial bubble, he couldn''t see the combat skills on the other bubbles.


    "I will give you three days. Comprehend the technique on your dimension and use it to break the spatial bubble imprisoning you. If you can''t break the spatial bubble after three days, you will be disqualified!" The elder in the void surveyed the crowd with an expectant gaze.


    "This is a test?"


    Many of the group instantly understood the elder''s intentions. The Spacetime Robe was probably choosing a suitable master.


    "In addition, those who break the spatial bubble first will receive quite a few boons¡­." the elder added with a smile.


    "A boon!"


    Excited, the experts immediately began to comprehend the combat skill before them, each hoping to be the first to break their bubble.


    "Comparing comprehension strength is fine too." Zhao Feng''s lips curled into a smile. He didn''t know just how good at comprehension these geniuses of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were, but Zhao Feng didn''t think he would be very far behind.


    Swish! Swish!


    Zhao Feng activated the God''s Spiritual Eye to skim over the combat skill on his spatial bubble.


    "Spacetime Combat Skill: Heaven Engulfing Palm, middle-tier divine skill!" Zhao Feng''s expression froze.


    He had not expected for this combat skill to be of the spacetime type. Space Intent was already very difficult to comprehend; adding the even-higher-level Time Intent made the task far too difficult. Moreover, the technique was a middle-tier divine skill that needed to be comprehended in only three days.


    "Little Black, what sort of combat skill are you looking at?" Zhao Feng asked, realizing something.


    "A spacetime-type technique," the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon straightforwardly replied.


    "As expected!" Zhao Feng sighed in wonder.


    Everyone was probably faced with a spacetime combat skill. This appeared to be fair, but the people of the Spacetime Sacred Land had an inherent advantage, particularly those possessing the Eye of Spacetime.


    But what Zhao Feng did not know was that the majority of those with the Eye of Spacetime could only use Space Intent. Even they found it difficult to control Time Intent.


    "Forget it. Let me first comprehend this!" Zhao Feng had already been dragged into this dimension, removing any chance he had of getting any other treasure.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    By activating the God''s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng instantly boosted his thinking speed and comprehension ability.


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye itself possessed spatial abilities. Zhao Feng quickly began to understand the Heaven Engulfing Palm from a spatial aspect.


    This was a set of simple palm techniques, but it seemed to contain extremely profound concepts. By using it together with Space Intent and Time Intent, one could exhibit a positively dreadful power. Complete comprehension would make the technique comparable to an ordinary high-tier divine technique.


    "This picture¡­!" Zhao Feng moved his gaze to the picture next to the words.


    When Zhao Feng''s eyes focused on it, what was a simple picture suddenly began to transform. On the vast world in the picture was a white-haired old man. This old man was performing the Heaven Engulfing Palm.


    Whoosh!


    As that slow-moving palm pushed forward, it was suddenly suffused with a worldly pressure that ignored space and caused time to slow. It seemed like all things in the world were suppressed under this palm.


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness was immersed in the picture and felt like he was right there as the old man performed this palm technique.


    "How amazing!" Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    In observing, Zhao Feng was not only deepening his understanding of the Heaven Engulfing Palm, but also of Space Intent as well. Zhao Feng was even beginning to vaguely grasp the existence of Time Intent.


    "I wonder if looking at this picture using God''s Spiritual Eye will change anything?" A pensive look appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    In comprehending spacetime combat skills, those skilled in Space Intent, like the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, had the advantage. For this reason, Zhao Feng had to cherish every second and use every method available to him to comprehend the Heaven Engulfing Palm and break this spatial bubble.


    "Focus!" Zhao Feng used the ability of the God''s Spiritual Eye to gaze at the simple picture.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s mind sank into the picture.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Fierce gales blew across the vast world, and the elderly man stood straight and tall like an ancient tree that had weathered the trials of time.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, the old man used the Heaven Engulfing Palm.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng seemed to become the old man''s opponent, and he could keenly sense the Spacetime Intent in the old man''s palm. As the palm pushed toward him, Zhao Feng felt like the entire world was transforming into a palm. He had nowhere to run, and it felt like he was being suffocated.


    Boom!


    The palm passed through Zhao Feng''s body.


    "The effect is even better in the God Eye Dimension!" Zhao Feng was elated. Like this, Zhao Feng would be much more efficient at comprehending this technique than his competitors.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng seemed to be practicing the palm technique right next to the elder.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    At this moment, a few people were already attempting to break their spatial bubbles. After all, the elder said that the one who broke their spatial bubble first would receive a boon.


    "So tough!" an expert of the Spacetime Sacred Land murmured in shock. He had only comprehended a little of this technique before trying his hand at breaking his bubble, but the spatial bubble only quivered a little. However, if he used any other attack, the spatial bubble seemed even more invincible.


    "So difficult!" a Quasi-God sighed, his heart sinking. A spacetime technique, and one at the middle-tier divine level; this was simply far too profound, and he had no idea where to even start.


    In another bubble, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a smile on its face.


    "If I can get my hands on the Spacetime Robe, I might be able to discuss conditions with Master!"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was proficient in a wide range of techniques, and its former cultivation level was extremely high. Its ability to use Space Intent had also recovered to Level Two. The spacetime skill in front of it was profound, but it could definitely comprehend the skill faster than the others.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    In the dimension, people were constantly attacking the spatial bubbles, but they all met with failure.


    On the second day, the Spacetime Sacred Land''s Quasi-God Kong Yuan and a Rank Four True God succeeded in breaking their spatial bubbles.


    "You may go through the door now!" the elder in the void said with a smile.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two people''s bodies went straight through the enormous silver gate and vanished.


    "What sort of boon lies behind that door?"


    Many people hungered to know, but they could not break through their bubbles.


    "Senior, this is a little unfair. Those two just now already had a very deep understanding of Space Intent, and they even have the Eye of Spacetime!" a youth immediately said.


    "The toughness of the spatial bubble is based on the imprisoned person''s cultivation level and level of Spacetime Intent, so each of you faces the same level of difficulty. The Eye of Spacetime is inherited from one''s bloodline, so it''s a kind of natural endowment!" the elder in the void indifferently said. He was clearly displeased by this youth''s criticisms.


    Zhao Feng remained immersed in the God Eye Dimension.


    Zhao Feng first copied the elder''s every move in using the Heaven Engulfing Palm. It didn''t take long before he grasped its form. Afterward, Zhao Feng stood across from the old man, becoming his opponent in palm techniques.


    Although the difference in power was as vast as the gap between the heavens and earth, Zhao Feng rapidly began to comprehend the technique. Unwittingly, Zhao Feng managed to even reach Level One in Space Intent.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s mind returned to his body. Although he still wanted to keep learning the Heaven Engulfing Palm, he first had to destroy the spatial bubble and see what was behind the enormous silver door. Perhaps even more opportunities awaited him there.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon used an extremely sublime claw technique that shattered the spatial bubble.


    "Who''s that? He managed to break the bubble!"


    Several people gasped in surprise. Four people had succeeded before him, but all of them were members of the Spacetime Sacred Land. At this moment, this black-scaled man was the only person not belonging to the Spacetime Sacred Land to break open the spatial bubble.


    "Eh? Master is also about to try!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was preparing to go through the silver door when it suddenly paused. It had relied on its great knowledge and experience to quickly grasp the spacetime combat skill. It did not believe that Zhao Feng was comparable to itself in those aspects, so it was confident that Zhao Feng would fail.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng took in a deep breath, his eyes focusing as an invisible aura began to spread around him.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng moved both his arms, and wondrous spatial ripples formed between his palms. As his palms pushed forward, a seemingly slow and enormous palm melted into the void. In the next moment, the palm image exploded against the spatial bubble.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The spatial bubble fiercely trembled, but it did not shatter.


    "Space Intent Level One!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was stunned. It had been at Zhao Feng''s side this entire time, so it understood that, even though Zhao Feng could use spatial abilities through his eye-bloodline, he had still not reached Level One Space Intent.


    "That person seems to have grasped the essence of his spacetime technique!" A Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land looked at Zhao Feng and nodded in approval.


    Other than the people of the Spacetime Sacred Land, everyone here was essentially interacting with a spacetime combat skill for the first time. The Space Intent in Zhao Feng''s palm just now wasn''t strong, but he had grasped the essence of the move.


    Bang!


    After sending out one palm, Zhao Feng sent a second, a third¡­ seven palms in total crashed onto the bubble.


    Bzzzzzzzz!


    The trembling of the spatial bubble intensified.


    Plush!


    The spatial bubble abruptly shattered.


    "Success!"


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s mouth twitched. Zhao Feng actually succeeded in shattering the spatial bubble! It had lived countless years, and its original cultivation level was extremely lofty and profound, but it only broke its spatial bubble a few moments earlier than Zhao Feng!

 1201 Melee

    Chapter 1201 - Melee


    Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was extremely unconvinced, it was a witness to Zhao Feng''s progress.


    Zhao Feng''s eye might have been able to use spatial abilities, but he himself had not comprehended Space Intent. But just now, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon clearly sensed that Zhao Feng''s palm was imbued with Space Intent ¨C Level One Space Intent!


    The first round was primarily testing everyone''s ability to comprehend Spacetime Intent, and in the short span of one day, Zhao Feng had reached Level One Space Intent. Such major progress was proof that he had sufficient comprehensive strength, so it was an easy task for him to shatter the spatial bubble.


    "That boy succeeded?"


    Zhao Feng''s success immediately drew the attention of the others. Other than the people of the Spacetime Sacred Land, Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were the only ones who had succeeded in shattering their spatial bubbles.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gave off an unfathomable feeling that indicated that it was some old monster who had lived for many years, but this Zhao Feng was clearly just a young Quasi-God.


    "Damn! These two fellows are too fast!" Little Ling grumbled. Even though she was a Rank Four True God, she was far too inexperienced in Spacetime Intent.


    The people of the Spacetime Sacred Land still present glanced at the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Feng before continuing to comprehend their respective combat skills. In their eyes, the Spacetime Robe was foreordained to belong to the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon passed through their silver doors.


    Behind the door was a vast starry sky, and underneath their feet was a square stone slab measuring tens of thousands of li on each side. The surface of the slab was covered in countless wondrous pictures and inscriptions.


    At this moment, four people from the Spacetime Sacred Land were seated cross-legged on the enormous stone slab.


    As the four glanced at the two newcomers, surprise appeared in their eyes. It was clear that they all believed that the people following them would be people from the Spacetime Sacred Land or experts of extremely high cultivation. Instead, it was a Rank Two True God and a Quasi-God. Moreover, they had no impression of these two.


    "What an amazing place!" Zhao Feng could feel that the Spacetime Intent was so distinct that it could almost be touched as it flowed through this place.


    "Master, this place could be described as a cultivation holy land for Spacetime Intent. While cultivating Spacetime Intent, half the normal effort will result in double the normal gains!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately sent a message to Zhao Feng.


    Space Intent was a must-cultivate Intent, while Time Intent was one of the ultimate Intents and incomparably powerful. However, both of these Intents were extremely difficult to cultivate. Thus, one could easily imagine how precious this sort of dimension was.


    "So, this was the boon the elder spoke of. People who get here first will have more time to cultivate here!" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile. It appeared that shattering his spatial bubble as quickly as possible was worth it.


    Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon found a place and seated themselves.


    But before the pair could settle down and start comprehending the Spacetime Intent of this place, they heard a sharp voice.


    "Since these two will be our enemies, we should just deal with them now!" a Quasi-God of the Spacetime Sacred Land proposed, a malicious smile on his face.


    "You believe that those two will be able to threaten us?" Quasi-God Kong Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and coldly said.


    Zhao Feng''s and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expressions sank. The other four were completely disregarding their existences as they discussed whether to deal with them or not. Quasi-God Kong Yuan was even more conceited, apparently believing that the Spacetime Robe was fated to end up in his hands.


    "There''s no rush. You''ll have a chance in the future!" an elderly voice suddenly rang out from all sides.


    They were all familiar with this voice. It was that of the elder who wore the Spacetime Robe.


    "Every ten days spent here is only one day on the outside. Cherish it!" The voice rang out once more.


    "If that''s the case, then I can cultivate here for at least twenty days." Zhao Feng''s mind was given a jolt, and he immediately settled into a cultivating posture.


    This place was a holy land for cultivating Spacetime Intent, and time was slowed here. He had to make good use of this period. In addition, the Spacetime Robe was clearly testing their ability to comprehend Spacetime Intent in the first round, so the next round might also be related to Spacetime Intent.


    Thus, Zhao Feng had to raise his understanding of Spacetime Intent as much as possible to increase his chances of getting the Spacetime Robe.


    Bzzzz!


    After entering meditation, Zhao Feng activated the God''s Spiritual Eye. At this moment, Zhao Feng''s thinking speed, reaction time, and comprehension ability all received a major boost.


    After some time, Zhao Feng sensed that he had firmed up his foundation of Level One Space Intent and was even beginning to grasp a little of Time Intent.


    "If I can put it together with the Heaven Engulfing Palm, I might comprehend even faster!" With a thought, Zhao Feng entered the God Eye Dimension.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The scene in the God Eye Dimension instantly changed to that of an old man practicing the Heaven Engulfing Palm.


    Now that Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Intent had advanced, he could perceive even more from this scene. Zhao Feng observed the scene for a time before going back to comprehend Spacetime Intent. By switching back and forth, he greatly increased his efficiency.


    Gradually, more and more people began to appear in this dimension. The moment they arrived, they sat down and began to comprehend Spacetime Intent. Even if they failed to get the Spacetime Robe in the end, just being able to comprehend Spacetime Intent in this place was a great fortune. In this tranquil dimension, Spacetime Intent flowed like water through the surroundings.


    Suddenly, a resounding voice snapped everyone out of meditation.


    "The time has come. It seems that all of you are quite exceptional. Of forty-two people, thirty-six have reached this place!" The elder wearing the Spacetime Robe appeared in the void, smiling as he surveyed the crowd.


    "I was about to reach Level Two Space Intent and Level One Time Intent!" Zhao Feng sighed. It was a great pity that he could not continue cultivating in such an ideal cultivation ground.


    "Senior, if so few people were eliminated in the first round, how many more rounds of trials will there be?" a Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land asked.


    "The second round begins now! The thirty-six of you will fight on this stone slab. Anyone who leaves the bounds of the stone slab will be disqualified. In the end, only ten people can remain!" the elder loudly proclaimed.


    "The second trial is actually a battle!"


    "Only ten people can remain!"


    The thirty-six people stood on the slab, their eyes turning gloomy. Only six people had been eliminated in the first round, but the second round was looking to eliminate more than twenty.


    "In addition, in this dimension, Spacetime Intent combat techniques will receive an increase in power!" the elder added with a smirk.


    "What? There was a rule like that?"


    All of them were dumbstruck by this news.


    The people of the Spacetime Sacred Land were ecstatic. As members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, they were all skilled in Space Intent.


    Zhao Feng immediately began to communicate with Little Ling.


    "Everyone, of the thirty-six people here, the Spacetime Sacred Land alone has eleven!" Little Ling glared at Zhao Feng before sending a message to the rest of the people on the stone slab.


    Spacetime techniques were more powerful here, and the Spacetime Sacred Land had eleven people here! Little Ling''s meaning was obvious; if the people not part of the Spacetime Sacred Land did not unite, they would all be eliminated.


    Experts gradually began to gather around Little Ling.


    A few experts who did not receive Little Ling''s message saw what was going on and naturally understood.


    "Mm?" A Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land began to frown.


    Although the experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land had a major advantage, if the other twenty-five people joined together, their defeat would be assured.


    "Hmph, there should be people from the Yangling Zone here, right!?" the elderly True God bellowed.


    Quite a few people suddenly had very stiff expressions. Only three zones managed to get into the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, and the god of the Yangling Zone was the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    A few experts of the Yangling Zone managed to get to this spacetime dimension. They did not dare oppose the Spacetime Sacred Land!


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Four figures immediately flew to the side of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    The Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land gave a slight nod upon seeing this.


    The people of the Yangling Zone did not dare to offend the Spacetime Sacred Land. The other two zones were rather far from the Yangling Zone, and the Spacetime Sacred Land had no control over them.


    The Spacetime Sacred Land''s side was still outnumbered, but all the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land could use space-type combat skills, so they were actually the more powerful fighting force.


    "It is a great honor to fight for the Spacetime Sacred Land!" the Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land bellowed as he led his group of fifteen charging toward the opposing side.


    "Go!" On Zhao Feng''s side, twenty-one people charged into battle.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    Thirty-six people clashed, terrifying Intent energy filling the dimension.


    Although Zhao Feng''s side had more people, they were being suppressed by the spacetime combat skills of the enemy.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm!" Zhao Feng used the only spacetime technique he knew.


    Boom!


    An illusory palm of flame rumbled toward the enemy.


    Although this was a spacetime skill, other Intents could be fused into it to increase its power.


    Everyone present had managed to comprehend their respective techniques in less than three days, but Zhao Feng also managed to cast the image from the spatial bubble into his mind so that he could cultivate this palm technique while also comprehending Spacetime Intent.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng could proficiently use the Heaven Engulfing Palm with greater strength than before.


    "Break!" A Rank Three True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land shattered Zhao Feng''s palm energy.


    "Again!" Zhao Feng continued to use the Heaven Engulfing Palm. Now that he was putting into practice all that he had learned, he began to understand even more.


    Boooooom!


    A palm of golden flame pushed toward the foe.


    "A trifling trick!" The Rank Three True God scornfully laughed. As a Rank Three True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land, he had little regard for Zhao Feng''s Heaven Engulfing Palm, even if it might be a little strong.


    But he had no idea that this technique was something Zhao Feng had only learned a few days ago.


    Boom! Bang!


    At some point, Zhao Feng''s enormous golden palm of flame managed to vanish into the void even faster to appear before the Rank Three True God.


    "Level Two Space Intent? He was suppressing his Intent just now?" The Rank Three True God was dumbfounded.


    "Level Two Space Intent!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon nearby felt its face freeze in shock.


    It had to be known that, even though the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had spent a very long time cultivating in this dimension, it was still a very far distance from Level Three Space Intent. On the other hand, Zhao Feng, who was just a beginner, had managed to reach Level Two Space Intent in a little over twenty days. What sort of monster was this!?

 1202 Time Inten

    Chapter 1202 - Time Intent


    In the eyes of others, Zhao Feng was just an ordinary Quasi-God. However, at this moment, Zhao Feng was displaying Level Two Space Intent and a profound spatial combat technique. Since all spacetime combat skills were strengthened in this dimension, Zhao Feng''s current strength was equivalent to a Rank Three True God.


    "So powerful! Just which faction does this genius belong to!? He''s even reached Level Two Space Intent!"


    The people battling alongside Zhao Feng were astonished.


    Quasi-God Kong Yuan was the most prodigious Quasi-God of the Spacetime Sacred Land, but even he only managed to reach Level Three Space Intent before entering the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. Afterward, a few lucky encounters and comprehending the Space Intent near the transparent palace allowed him to reach Level Four.


    A few of the Quasi-God geniuses of the Spacetime Sacred Land noticed Zhao Feng''s unusual talent for Space Intent and began to target him. However, when they began to attack Zhao Feng, they discovered that he had two powerful protectors. One was a black-scaled man who had a powerful Space Intent as well as a frightening Destruction Intent. The other person was a gorgeous woman of profound cultivation, and she had formidable Fire Intent.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    "Incinerating Flame!"


    "Divine Tyrant Fist!"


    The two sides clashed like fire versus water.


    The many experts on Zhao Feng''s side did not use spacetime skills, but anyone who could reach this stage wouldn''t be ordinary. Each of them had their own area of expertise. Zhao Feng, on the other hand, continued to use the Heaven Engulfing Palm.


    Although this place was now a battlefield, it was still a holy land for cultivating Spacetime Intent. Zhao Feng was fighting right now, but it seemed more like he was cultivating the Heaven Engulfing Palm and comprehending Spacetime Intent.


    Boooom! Crash!


    The battle between these thirty-six people was extremely chaotic and bitter. It didn''t take long for the weaker ones to be eliminated.


    At present, the Spacetime Sacred Land still had twelve people on the stone slab while Zhao Feng''s side had sixteen.


    "Only eighteen more need to be eliminated!" Zhao Feng was keeping a constant watch on the battlefield.


    Those who could last through this battle were all vicious and experienced experts. To continue eliminating people from this pool was extremely difficult. In the end, the experts that had temporarily allied together on Zhao Feng''s side might start attacking each other for the sake of reaching the next round.


    Fortunately, Zhao Feng had the assistance of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Little Ling. As long as he was cautious, he would not be eliminated.


    Gradually, the intensity of the battle died down. A significant number of people began to save up their strength and tend to their injuries.


    "The Spacetime Sacred Land''s group is too strong. It will be extremely difficult to eliminate any more of their group," a Rank Four True God on Zhao Feng''s side said.


    There were now twenty-two people left on the stone slab, and none of them would be an easy customer.


    "We should work together and attack one person at the same time. In this way, we can rapidly bring the number down to ten!" Zhao Feng suggested.


    "Good idea! Then let''s attack that Quasi-God first!"


    Zhao Feng''s side began to discuss the plan of action.


    Swish! Swish!


    Suddenly, all their experts charged forward, all of them attacking a Quasi-God of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm!"


    "Swimming Dragon Sword!"


    "Heaven Chasm Sacred Dragon Wave!"


    A storm of attacks immediately crushed down on a single unlucky person.


    "Save me¡­!" The Quasi-God''s entire body shivered in fright.


    "Damn!" The Spacetime Sacred Land''s experts hadn''t expected for the enemy side to do this. It was already too late to save the Quasi-God.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    As the Quasi-God was pulverized, the number of people dropped by one.


    "Kill!" The Spacetime Sacred Land''s group immediately began a counterattack.


    "Target the middle-aged man dressed in green!" Zhao Feng''s group reached a consensus and focused their attacks on yet another member of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    Kaboom! Crash!


    After another intense round of fighting, the battle settled into a stalemate. The Spacetime Sacred Land now had seven people while Zhao Feng''s side had ten!


    On the stone slab, the two sides stared at each other in a distant standoff.


    Zhao Feng continued to alternate between observing the Heaven Engulfing Palm in his God Eye Dimension and comprehending Spacetime Intent.


    "Time Intent!"


    Zhao Feng felt like he managed to grasp something, but he also felt like he understood nothing at all. At this moment, Zhao Feng only needed to break through one last curtain to comprehend Time Intent.


    "I''ll give you thirty more minutes. When the time is up, I''ll pick the top ten ranked by the number of people killed!" the elder wearing the Spacetime Robe suddenly said with a smile.


    The elder''s words immediately gave a jolt to the seventeen survivors licking their wounds.


    "Why didn''t you say that earlier!?" someone complained.


    Killing a Quasi-God or True God required the effort of almost everyone working together, and no one had been paying attention when they attacked together. Some of the stronger ones ended up not killing many people while some of the weaker ones had been lucky enough to score the killing blow.


    Whoosh!


    In a flash, all seventeen people on the stone slab stood up. No one knew just how many people they had each killed, but if they wanted to get to the next stage, they had to ensure that they killed a few more.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    Everyone was forced back into a bitter battle. They only thirty minutes; if more than ten people remained after that, the top ten would be picked based on the number of people killed.


    "I''m done!" A Rank Three True God simply chose to leave the stone slab, his body vanishing from the dimension. This Rank True God was actually very strong, but he didn''t believe that he could get the Spacetime Robe, and sticking around would be extremely risky. Thus, he chose to give up on the Spacetime Robe.


    "Die!"


    A few people immediately used their trump cards.


    Boooooom!


    At present, only the true experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land were left on their side, and their dreadful spacetime combat skills were unstoppable. The Rank Four True God and Quasi-God Kong Yuan were the strongest among them.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm!" Zhao Feng continued to cultivate this palm technique.


    "Eh? This person''s palm technique has a hint of Time Intent in it!" An expert of the Spacetime Sacred Land noticed Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "Level Two Space Intent, and nearly Level One Time Intent!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan locked his eyes onto Zhao Feng.


    Quasi-God Kong Yuan was currently feeling a little envious. This person didn''t have the Eye of Spacetime, but he was already at Level Two in Space Intent and had almost reached Level One in Time Intent. Although Kong Yuan had reached Level Four in Space Intent, he was only at Level One in Time Intent.


    "Kill this man!" Kong Yuan messaged all the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "Okay, kill him!" The Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land nodded.


    Logically speaking, this was an unwise decision, as Zhao Feng had two experts standing guard around him. Their opponents might be able to exploit a gap in their defense and counterattack.


    But all of them had seen Zhao Feng''s talent. Even someone as talented as Quasi-God Kong Yuan envied Zhao Feng, let alone the other people from the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "Kill!" All the experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land suddenly charged at Zhao Feng.


    "Space Shattering Slash!"


    "Netherworld Spatial Lock!"


    Spacetime techniques of all kinds swept toward Zhao Feng.


    "Not good! Little Black, hurry and use the power of Origin Destruction!" Zhao Feng grimaced. He had not expected to become the target of everyone from the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body suddenly exuded an ancient and lofty Destruction Energy, and divine black flames began to madly spread through the world.


    Swooosh!


    Little Ling hurriedly created a net of flames to block the oncoming attacks, but the spacetime attacks were too powerful and instantly crushed Little Ling''s attack.


    Plush!


    Little Ling suffered a backlash and backed up several steps while vomiting blood.


    Boom! Bang! Hwooom!


    The remaining power of these attacks exploded against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon managed to maintain its human form, and the black divine flames continued to seethe on its body. As its body was destroyed and damaged, the gruesome wounds would almost immediately heal. However, at this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was consuming an enormous amount of Origin Destruction Energy.


    "How could this be? Origin Destruction Energy and an indestructible body! What race does this person belong to?"


    The Spacetime Sacred Land experts were all dumbfounded. While they could sense the powerful bloodline aura of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, they could not identify the exact race.


    "Kill!" The experts on Zhao Feng''s side ignored Zhao Feng and lunged at the Spacetime Sacred Land experts.


    "Spacetime Slicer!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan used the Eye of Spacetime to condense his stored energy into a silver edge that scoured his surroundings.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Terrifying Space Intent coupled with supreme Time Intent made the nearby experts convulse in fear.


    Swish!


    This silver edge melted into the void, and then it appeared right in front of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Zhao Feng and Black Destruction Serpent Dragon could feel that their thoughts and movements were getting slower. Everything around them was getting slower, except for the lethal attack right in front of their eyes.


    "Master, you owe me a lot of resources!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon continued to circulate the Origin Destruction Energy, and its claws fired off furious black flames as it went up to meet the attack.


    Swoosh!


    The silver edge was stopped for a few moments before it sliced through the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Thwish!


    The silver blade continued to sweep toward Zhao Feng.


    Cling clang!


    Zhao Feng raised the Ancient God Seal in the form of a shield, pouring the energy of Lightning-Fire Obliteration into it to stop the attack.


    "Time Intent!"


    Zhao Feng poured his Intent Energy into the Lightning-Fire Obliteration and exuded it into the surroundings. In a flash, the Time Intent of Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s attack was neutralized, and the rest of the attack was blocked by the Ancient God Seal.


    "Level One Time Intent!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s mind reeled in shock. In this dangerous moment, Zhao Feng reached Level One Time Intent.


    "Kill!" Three experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land immediately lunged at Zhao Feng.


    "All of you should die!" Zhao Feng''s expression turned cold, and his left eye began to surge with astonishing Eye Intent.


    "Spacetime Slicer!"


    Swish!


    A silver blade that seemed like an enormous silver wing burst out of Zhao Feng''s eyes, the profound Space Intent within it chilling these three experts to the bone.


    "Level Four Space Intent, and it''s a technique of my Eye of Spacetime!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan was so stunned that he was frozen in place. He needed to store up power for that attack just now, but Zhao Feng released the same attack at the same level of power with no warning whatsoever.


    Swoosh!


    This enormous silver wing appeared right in front of the three experts and cut them in half.


    Thwish!


    The silver blade continued. An injured True God caught up in the melee ended up being too slow to react and was obliterated.


    It was the same spacetime technique that Quasi-God Kong Yuan used, but Zhao Feng used it to kill four people in a single blow!


    "That golden eye! Could it be¡­?" Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s gaze fell upon that bright golden eye and seemed to recall something.

 1203 The Final Tes

    Chapter 1203 - The Final Test


    "That golden eye! Could it be¡­?" Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s gaze fell upon that bright golden eye and seemed to recall something.


    Although he had long ago noticed Zhao Feng''s golden hair and golden eyes, the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was home to people with all colors of skin, hair, and eyes. For this reason, Quasi-God Kong Yuan never imagined that the golden Eye of Heaven he had fought with was under Zhao Feng''s control. After all, Zhao Feng was far too weak and insignificant in his eyes.


    Only now, when Zhao Feng''s left eye displayed an absurd level of power, did Kong Yuan begin to wonder if Zhao Feng could be the owner of that Eye of Heaven that had defeated him.


    "Instantly killing four people!" A Rank Four True God''s expression twisted in shock.


    He had originally been on Zhao Feng''s side, but when the experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land focused on Zhao Feng, he didn''t go to Zhao Feng''s aid. Instead, he had taken the chance to attack the Spacetime Sacred Land experts. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to emerge unscathed from the assault and even kill four members of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two halves of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body began to link together and slowly repair themselves. However, it currently had an extremely weak aura and lacked the ability to fight.


    "What bloodline is this!?" The experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land were stunned by this sight. Three experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land had been obliterated by the Spacetime Slicer, but even after getting cut in half, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was still alive.


    "Okay. Only ten people are left, so all of you advance!" the transparent elder floating in the void said with a smile.


    Everyone scanned their surroundings and confirmed that there were only ten people left. Four of them belonged to the Spacetime Sacred Land while the remaining six were almost certainly experts belonging to the Gulong Zone or Tianyun Zone.


    "Rest here for a while. No one is allowed to attack anyone else!" With this warning, the elder wearing the Spacetime Robe vanished.


    "Little Brother, your move just now was truly stunning!" A brown-haired middle-aged man walked up to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s performance had been simply too shocking. If one added on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s special constitution and Little Ling''s Rank Four True God cultivation, Zhao Feng''s group of three was a power that could not be ignored in this place.


    "Senior praises me too much!" Zhao Feng politely returned.


    The God Eye Duplication ability truly was very powerful, but no one present understood what it really was. This was the reason the expert was flattering Zhao Feng.


    With the second test concluded, the remaining ten began to rest and recuperate. No one knew what they would be facing in the next round, so all they could do was maintain their peak condition.


    "If the next round is dangerous, you must immediately give up!" Zhao Feng said to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had consumed a great deal of Origin Destruction and was currently extremely weak. Its cultivation level had fallen, and it would need some time to recover.


    Fortunately, even without the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Feng still had Little Ling ¨C a Rank Four True God ¨C at his side.


    After taking a few recovery herbs, Zhao Feng began to comprehend Spacetime Intent. Zhao Feng was confident that, no matter what the next round entailed, Spacetime Intent would receive some sort of boost in power.


    Several days later, everyone had essentially recovered from their injuries, but the transparent elder still did not appear.


    After another ten days, a few people began to get impatient.


    "That old fellow probably forgot about us!" Many of them were starting to get annoyed.


    However, Zhao Feng remained seated on the ground, having never moved from his spot. In Zhao Feng''s view, being able to comprehend Spacetime Intent in this place before the third test wasn''t bad at all. Zhao Feng''s Level Two Space Intent and Level One Time Intent had been obtained entirely through meditating in this dimension.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng entered the God Eye Dimension, where the old man was continuing to practice the Heaven Engulfing Palm.


    "I can already merge Spacetime Intent into the palm technique!" Zhao Feng said with a joyful expression.


    Only when the Heaven Engulfing Palm was used with Spacetime Intent could it be considered the true Heaven Engulfing Palm. This palm would be able to transcend space, and wherever it passed, the flow of time would slow. The enemy would not be able to evade the attack; they could only stand there and be crushed.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng sensed something strange, and his mind returned to his body.


    Boooooom!


    The stone slab on which they all were standing began to quake. Countless stones of all sizes began to rise from the center of the slab.


    "Get back!"


    Everyone immediately began to retreat to the edges.


    Boom! Bang!


    Countless white stones emerged before them!


    Brrrooom!


    The stones began to merge together, and in a flash, they had formed a massive mountain one thousand zhang in height. This mountain was entirely made of the white stones, and there were sets of stairs that led to the summit.


    Swish!


    The transparent elder appeared on the summit.


    "The first to reach the summit will be considered the victor!"


    The elder''s body suddenly exploded with a profound layer of silver light.


    "The last test?" This caught many people by surprise.


    "The first to reach the summit will get the Spacetime Robe!" a middle-aged man excitedly said. The final test was completely different from what he had imagined. Perhaps he would still have a chance to obtain the Spacetime Robe!


    "What sort of mysteries does this mountain hold?" An elder suspiciously began to walk up one of the sets of stairs.


    The moment his foot hit the steps, the elder understood. These paths leading up to the summit could only be taken step by step. One could not fly up them. Besides that, he also sensed an abrupt increase in weight.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, the major factions all had their own tests and trials. Trials of weight were one of the most common types. This kind of trial normally involved strength and perseverance.


    "Is this all?" Zhao Feng stepped onto a stair and felt a heavy pressure bear down on him, but Zhao Feng did not believe that this final test was purely one of weight.


    "The Spacetime Robe is mine!" A body-strengthening expert was ecstatic when he saw that this was a test of weight and began to madly ascend the stairs.


    "Eh?" This body-strengthening expert suddenly felt that something was wrong. Turning his head, he saw that the stairs beneath him were moving back downward.


    "This¡­ what''s going on?" The expert was instantly thrown into consternation.


    As he climbed up the stairs, the stairs under his feet would go backward. This meant that he could only advance if he could move faster than the speed at which the stairs moved backward. But whenever he climbed a certain number of steps, the weight on him would increase a little, so pulling off such a feat would be extremely difficult.


    "Hmph, isn''t this just a test of strength and resolve?" The body-strengthening expert did not give up. His entire body exuded an astonishing physical strength as he charged onward, shouldering all the weight pressing down on him.


    "Let''s go!"


    "I can''t fall behind!"


    The others also began to step onto their own set of stairs, charging upward against the enormous weight.


    Thump!


    Zhao Feng immediately ascended ten steps.


    "The weight really is increasing," Zhao Feng muttered.


    Meanwhile, the stairs continued to move backward. If Zhao Feng did not continue moving forward, he would be brought back to the starting point. However, even if Zhao Feng continued forward, he would never be able to reach the end. Thus, Zhao Feng chose to just stand and wait for the stairs to send him back to the beginning.


    "Little Black, have any ideas?" Zhao Feng asked.


    The final test was not as simple as it appeared. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had seen and experienced many things, so it might have been able to find some sort of flaw or loophole.


    "The weight of each path should be determined by one''s cultivation. Thus, a Quasi-God might actually have more of an advantage than a True God!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon slowly said, a thoughtful look on its face. This was what it had observed from observing the others.


    "So, I actually have more of an advantage than the others!" A pensive look appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    However, if it was really as the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon said, then Quasi-God Kong Yuan ¨C who was at the Demigod level but had the strength of a Rank Four True God ¨C possessed the greatest advantage.


    "If we say that the first round tested our ability to comprehend spacetime combat skills and the second round tested our fighting power, the third round is most likely testing our potential!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had an extremely wise and profound look in its eyes.


    "Potential?" Zhao Feng took in a deep breath.


    Who could really say anything about a thing like potential? Even though the major factions selected geniuses based on potential, people normally regarded potential as a synonym for bloodline. However, this was not actually the case. At least in Zhao Feng''s view, a person''s personality was also a part of their potential.


    "This road must be walked in one go. If you rest, you will be returned to the beginning!" Zhao Feng suddenly declared.


    "Eh?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes shone with a sharp light. Now that it thought about it, Zhao Feng''s conclusion was correct. For Zhao Feng to be able to analyze this point so quickly could also be considered a type of potential.


    "Ah¡­!" Halfway up the mountain, the body-strengthening expert could no longer take the weight and finally ran out of strength.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The stairs swiftly brought him back to the starting point.


    On the other staircases, quite a few people were still going, constantly climbing upward, but the stairs were constantly moving backward, so they made little real progress.


    Thump!


    Zhao Feng seated himself on the ground and closed his eyes.


    "Master, what are you doing?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon looked at him in surprise. It was also sitting back and resting, but only because it was too heavily injured to have any hopes of getting the Spacetime Robe. Why was Zhao Feng doing it?


    "Since I currently don''t have a way, I''ll just think while cultivating!" Zhao Feng replied.


    Although a mountain had appeared here, this was still a dimension ideal for comprehending Spacetime Intent.


    On the summit, the transparent elder shook his head at those who continued to climb. "Those with enough strength and talent can come straight up, but if you don''t have the strength and talent and aren''t willing to admit that you''re incapable¡­ if you don''t think about how to solve the problem, if you cannot accept failure and continue to mindlessly charge forward, what can you hope to achieve in the future?"


    "Eh? We can use Time Intent!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan discovered that he could use the power of Time Intent to slow the speed at which the stairs moved back. This would save him strength and speed up his progress.


    The other members of the Spacetime Sacred Land saw this and immediately understood. However, of the four members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, only one other besides Quasi-God Kong Yuan had reached Level One Time Intent.


    "As expected, for this test, wielders of Spacetime Intent once more have an advantage!" The Rank Four True God from the Spacetime Sacred Land faintly smiled as he used his Time Intent to slow the speed of the stairs.


    "Damn, that''s not fair!" a person complained, but there was nothing he could do.


    Quasi-God Kong Yuan saw that he was ahead of the pack and gave a smug smile. The Spacetime Robe would definitely be his.


    Quasi-God Kong Yuan glanced down at Zhao Feng at the base of the mountain and his smile widened.


    "I originally planned to defeat you in this round, but I didn''t think that you would concede on your own!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan looked down from the mountain at Zhao Feng and derisively chuckled.

 1204 Amazing the World With a Single Fea

    Chapter 1204 - Amazing the World with a Single Feat


    The last test would not conclude until someone stepped onto the summit or if everyone decided to concede and step out of the bounds of the stone slab.


    Zhao Feng sat cross-legged at the base of the mountain. Although he seemed to be cultivating and comprehending Spacetime Intent on the surface, he had left a small part of his mind to observe the people climbing the mountain.


    Through the God''s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng could calculate, based on how these people performed, just how far he would be able to get.


    At this moment, Quasi-God Kong Yuan was far and away the leader of the pack. He was extremely strong and had many techniques, so dealing with the weight was no problem. Moreover, he could use Time Intent to slow the speed of the stairs. His progress was clearly what everyone could only hope to achieve.


    The second in altitude was the Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    After him was a Rank Three True God. Although his cultivation was weaker, he had been blessed with great talent and strength.


    Behind the Rank Three True God was the body-strengthening expert, who was relying on his tough body and unbending resolve to ascend.


    Of course, their positions were constantly shifting.


    In comparison to that group, Little Ling was rather mediocre despite her status as a Rank Four True God.


    "High cultivation does not mean one has the advantage. Strength, abilities, and personality are still major factors." Zhao Feng was constantly summarizing what he learned from his observations.


    "Of these people, Quasi-God Kong Yuan is the strongest and most talented. He has the highest chance of reaching the summit!" Zhao Feng focused on Quasi-God Kong Yuan.


    Both Kong Yuan and Zhao Feng had reached Level One Time Intent, but Zhao Feng was much weaker when it came to actually using Time Intent. Quasi-God Kong Yuan was currently focused on using Time Intent to slow the speed of the stairs, so Zhao Feng naturally took this opportunity to carefully watch and learn.


    "If I can control Time Intent like Quasi-God Kong Yuan to slow the speed of the stairs moving backward, I can probably surpass everyone else!" Zhao Feng estimated and conjectured as he studied.


    "Eh? Something''s wrong!" Zhao Feng suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Quasi-God Kong Yuan.


    After a long while, Zhao Feng relaxed a little.


    "So that''s what was happening. The stairs are moving backward because of some spacetime ability, and Quasi-God Kong Yuan is using Time Intent to neutralize a part of the Spacetime Intent in the stairs. This is what''s causing the speed to drop!" Zhao Feng''s eyes brightened.


    The abundance of Spacetime Intent in this dimension had drowned out the spacetime ability in the stairs. Probably not even Quasi-God Kong Yuan had realized this. He was probably under the impression that the special attribute of Time Intent was causing the speed of the stairs to slow down.


    If Kong Yuan was to realize this point, his Level Four Space Intent and Level One Time Intent together would be able to completely neutralize the Intent energy in the stairs, and ascending to the summit would be exceedingly simple for him.


    However, as the saying went, the person on the spot is baffled while the bystander sees clearly. Someone of Kong Yuan''s proud personality would only think about getting to the summit, not about something like this.


    "As expected, the crucial point of this round is still Spacetime Intent!"


    Zhao Feng began to organize his thoughts.


    Spacetime Intent could neutralize the Spacetime Intent in the stairs and reduce their backward progression. Of course, using other Intent energy was fine too, but the effects would definitely be less than that of Spacetime Intent, because Spacetime Intent was strengthened in this dimension.


    "My Space Intent is only at Level Two, and my Time Intent is only at Level One. Getting to the summit will still be rather difficult." Zhao Feng''s brows creased.


    Even if Zhao Feng used this method, he would not be able to instantly reach the summit. Everyone would then realize what he was doing, including Quasi-God Kong Yuan, and Kong Yuan would probably imitate the method and reach the summit first.


    "But if I don''t start moving soon, Quasi-God Kong Yuan will think of this method eventually!" Zhao Feng''s eyes sank.


    Kong Yuan was no fool, only too conceited.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    Swish!


    Many precious cultivating materials appeared in front of Zhao Feng. There was a Golden God Crystal, a Golden Flame Giant Horn, and more.


    Zhao Feng began to cultivate the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    "Eh? Master is cultivating here?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was struck speechless. It even started wondering if Zhao Feng had given up on the Spacetime Robe.


    "That''s a Golden God Crystal, the horn of a Golden-Horned Fire Rat, and even a Golden Sun Blood Flame Flower¡­." Several of the experts saw the treasures floating in front of Zhao Feng, and greed immediately seized their hearts.


    "Oh no!"


    This momentary lack of attention while climbing the mountain caused one expert to be forced down by the weight of the mountain.


    Thump thump!


    The expert only barely managed to stabilize himself after falling back several dozen steps.


    He was not the only one on the white mountain to end up distracted. All of them had been affected by Zhao Feng taking out so many treasures. Not even Quasi-God Kong Yuan was an exception.


    "Once I get the Spacetime Robe, today will be the day of your death!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan coldly said.


    In the battle of Space Transference Eyes, Quasi-God Kong Yuan had lost to Zhao Feng. When he realized who Zhao Feng truly was, his martial artist heart received a heavy blow. Quasi-God Kong Yuan would not permit himself to lose to a weak ant; he needed to personally kill Zhao Feng to bring all this to an end.


    "Haaa, it seems like Quasi-God Kong Yuan is going to get the Spacetime Robe!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon sighed and continued to recover from its injuries.


    Time slowly passed, and the trial continued. At a certain moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly sensed a majestic, deep, and mellow aura at his side.


    "Master has made a breakthrough in his technique?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s expression froze in shock.


    However, a minor breakthrough would not be able to change anything.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng stood up, a faint smile on his face.


    "Using Time Intent on oneself can increase one''s cultivation speed!" Zhao Feng had experienced the power of Time Intent.


    Just now, he consumed an enormous amount of Metal-elemental resources to bring the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique into the 11th level ¨C Five Elements Become One. After all, Zhao Feng was already able to convert the five elements between each other, so breaking through wasn''t difficult.


    Thump thump!


    Zhao Feng began to climb the stairs.


    "Master has begun to move?" Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon didn''t think Zhao Feng could beat Quasi-God Kong Yuan, it still felt a little anticipation.


    "Eh? I thought that brat didn''t have the courage to come up!" an expert of the Spacetime Sacred Land jeered.


    "You don''t know your own strength!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan coldly said.


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    Zhao Feng climbed up several dozen steps until the enormous weight began to affect him.


    "I also have weight!"


    The power of weight surged out of Zhao Feng''s body and began to contend against the weight exerted by the stairs.


    Thump! Thump!


    Zhao Feng ascended as quickly as the wind up the stairs. After one hundred steps, Zhao Feng finally began to slow down.


    "Charge!" Zhao Feng roared, and his body suddenly seemed to grow in size.


    Swish!


    Five-colored lightning condensed into dazzling tattoos on Zhao Feng''s body. At this moment, Zhao Feng was a five-colored lightning mountain with enough strength to shake the heavens.


    Thump!


    Zhao Feng''s speed soared, the Divine Power of the five elements allowing him to heedlessly press forward.


    Eight others were attempting to ascend the mountain. Zhao Feng managed to overtake one of them.


    He quickly overtook a second!


    "This person¡­ what strength! What a strong body!" the expert who was just overtaken said with a sigh.


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    After overtaking the third person, Zhao Feng finally began to slow down.


    "So strong!" Little Ling''s gaze focused on Zhao Feng as she spat out these two words.


    "Brat, this will be your stopping point!" the Spacetime Sacred Land expert who was the lowest of the group angrily roared.


    "Is that so?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile.


    "Space Intent, Time Intent!"


    Zhao Feng sent these two Intents rumbling into the stairs. The stairs beneath his feet instantly slowed down.


    "Charge!"


    The five-elements-powered Zhao Feng charged past Little Ling.


    Thump thump thump!


    Zhao Feng was getting closer and closer to the Spacetime Sacred Land expert who had jeered at him.


    "Impossible! You can''t possibly overtake me!" This expert was dumbfounded, frozen to the spot with a panicked look on his face. But by the time he said these words, Zhao Feng had overtaken him.


    By now, Zhao Feng was the fourth highest person on the mountain.


    Thump thump thump!


    Spacetime Intent allowed Zhao Feng to steadily move upward, even if it wasn''t at a very fast pace.


    Yet another expert was passed. The only people above Zhao Feng now were Quasi-God Kong Yuan and the Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "I understand now!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan had a very deep understanding of Spacetime Intent. He instantly understood how Zhao Feng was using his Spacetime Intent.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Kong Yuan immediately sent his Spacetime Intent rumbling into the stairs, causing the speed of the stairs to slow down enormously.


    "So that was the case!" The Rank Four True God also understood.


    Thump thump thump!


    Quasi-God Kong Yuan''s pace instantly accelerated.


    "Your Space Intent is only at Level Two. You can''t overtake me! The Spacetime Robe is mine!" By imitating Zhao Feng''s method, Quasi-God Kong Yuan rapidly approached the summit.


    But then, Quasi-God sensed tremendous ripples of Intent energy from Zhao Feng!


    "This is¡­? So many kinds of Intent!" Kong Yuan''s face twisted in shock.


    Zhao Feng had only used Spacetime Intent during the previous trials, so Kong Yuan believed that that was the only kind of Intent Zhao Feng knew. However, the number of Intents orbiting Zhao Feng''s body almost made Kong Yuan forget about climbing the mountain.


    "I sense that there are at least seven different kinds of Intent on his body, but how could that be?" The people behind Zhao Feng were also quite alarmed.


    Lower-ranked True Gods found it very difficult to grasp many Intents. Only when one was an Ancient God ¨C where comprehending Intents was much easier ¨C was grasping many Intents commonplace.


    Zhao Feng only smiled and continued to ascend.


    Upon reaching the 11th level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique ¨C Five Elements Become One ¨C Zhao Feng''s Five Elements Intent and Wind Lightning Intent were finally fully formed. Although each Intent was only at Level One, the Five Elements Intent and the Wind Lightning Intent were already seven Intents. If one added Spacetime Intent as well, Zhao Feng had grasped nine different kinds of Intent.


    The stairs under Zhao Feng were moving backward like a snail. Zhao Feng continued to ascend, step by step, and he quickly surpassed the Rank Four True God and began to approach Quasi-God Kong Yuan.


    "He''s only a Demigod, and yet nine kinds of Intent!" The transparent elder on the summit was dumbfounded.


    "No, I won''t lose!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan roared as he pushed all his techniques to the limit.


    He would not permit himself to lose to Zhao Feng again!


    I''m far stronger than you, and my Space Intent is at Level Four. I started climbing the mountain before you, so I will be the first to reach the summit! Quasi-God Kong Yuan mentally bellowed.


    At this moment, everyone was looking at the summit. Quasi-God Kong Yuan was getting closer and closer, but Zhao Feng was quickly catching up.


    Who would win in the end?


    "Hmph! God Sealing Stone!" With a flip of his palm, a piece of the God Sealing Stone half the size of a man appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. A sealing power immediately began to spread through the area. The weight pressing down on Zhao Feng was diminished, and the stairs stopped moving entirely!

 1205 Refining the Spacetime Robe

    Chapter 1205 - Refining the Spacetime Robe


    The stairs beneath Zhao Feng had stopped going backward, and the enormous weight bearing down on Zhao Feng''s body had been greatly reduced.


    "No¡­ how?" Quasi-God Kong Yuan was so stunned that his eyes went round and almost fell out of their sockets.


    "The stairs under that boy''s feet stopped moving!"


    "What sort of treasure is that in his hand?"


    Everyone instantly focused on Zhao Feng. They originally believed that the contest between Zhao Feng and Quasi-God Kong Yuan was still unsettled, but the sealing power exuded by the enormous white stone that had appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand stopped the stairs and reduced the weight on Zhao Feng.


    "That''s¡­ a God Sealing Stone!" The Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land was staring at the white stone in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    Although the stone had an ordinary and unpolished surface, the strength it emanated was exactly that of the legendary God Sealing Stone.


    "Could this person be a descendant of the God Sealing Race?" the Rank Four True God wondered in shock. They tried to kill Zhao Feng earlier, but if Zhao Feng was really a descendant of the God Sealing Race, such an action was unacceptable.


    "I forgot that Master also had the God Sealing Stone!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon grinned.


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    Zhao Feng began to slowly and gracefully ascend.


    At that moment, everyone else forgot about climbing. Their eyes were fixed onto Zhao Feng''s every step. They all knew that Zhao Feng was the victor!


    Quasi-God Kong Yuan stood in a daze, Zhao Feng''s every step a stomp on his heart, a disgrace to his name.


    "Not bad!" On the summit, the elder gave Zhao Feng a warm smile.


    He had already noticed Zhao Feng in the first round because Zhao Feng had shown to be rather capable of comprehending Spacetime Intent. But now, the elder understood that Zhao Feng was not just abnormally talented in Spacetime Intent, but in many other Intents as well.


    Zhao Feng had shown the Intent energy of Five Elements Intent, Wind Lightning Intent, and Spacetime Intent. For a mere Quasi-God to comprehend nine different Intents was simply unheard of.


    Thump!


    As everyone watched, Zhao Feng reached the summit.


    Brrrooom!


    In a flash, the white mountain fell apart and vanished.


    "I lost! I lost to him!" Even now, Quasi-God Kong Yuan was still not willing to admit this. In a struggle for a spacetime treasure, he ¨C the proud Quasi-God genius of the Spacetime Sacred Land ¨C had lost!


    "Quasi-God Kong Yuan, do not be discouraged. This person used a God Sealing Stone just now. He might be a descendant of the God Sealing Race!" the Rank Four True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land immediately messaged Quasi-God Kong Yuan.


    "Is that what it was?" Quasi-God Kong Yuan was not fully convinced. However, if Zhao Feng really was a descendant of the God Sealing Race, his loss was not completely unjustified.


    The God Sealing Race was ranked 14th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Many demons of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had been suppressed by the God Sealing Race. The territory of the God Sealing Race was also a major God Realm Sacred Land ¨C the God Sealing Sacred Land.


    Swish!


    As the mountain disappeared, everyone except Zhao Feng was sent out of the dimension. The trial for the Spacetime Robe had already concluded.


    "Senior, can you leave these two here?!" Zhao Feng saw that Little Ling and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had vanished and immediately asked.


    Swish!


    With a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng produced pictures of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Little Ling.


    "Okay, I''ll help you out!" The transparent elder nodded.


    After a brief moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Little Ling reappeared in the dimension.


    "What''s the situation outside?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    "We just got out when the experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land started questioning us. There are countless casualties outside. The battle between the Ancient God and the Rank Five True Gods is already over!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon fearfully said. Fortunately, they had been sent back. Otherwise, who knew what the Spacetime Sacred Land would do to them?


    "The Rank Five True Gods are done fighting with the Ancient God? What about the other treasures?" Zhao Feng continued asking.


    "Only that ball of violet flame and the silver sword are left!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon swiftly answered.


    Of the four supreme treasures, the Spacetime Robe was in Zhao Feng''s hands, and the Heaven Yuan Stone Disc had been taken by Quasi-God Si Kong of the Tianyun Sacred Land.


    The battle in the outside world had resulted in terrible casualties. Many experts had immediately left after extracting a little gain from the event.


    "Okay! You''ve obtained the Spacetime Robe, so hurry and refine it!" the transparent elder suddenly said.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The elder''s body began to fade away, but the Spacetime Robe he wore grew brighter and brighter, the runes upon it shining with a dazzling and profound light. In the end, the elder''s body completely vanished, and the radiance of the robe dimmed as it floated in the air.


    Zhao Feng stretched out his hand and took the Spacetime Robe.


    "Once you refine the Spacetime Robe, you can leave this place on your own!" A message flew into Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Zhao Feng, is our collaboration over?" Little Ling chose this moment to ask.


    Little Ling''s attitude now compared to when she first joined the team was as different as the heavens and the earth.


    "It''s over, but there''s no need for you to leave in such a hurry. The Spacetime Sacred Land''s people are still outside waiting for you!" Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    "You should return the ancestor''s tail feathers to me!" Little Ling saw that Zhao Feng might have forgotten this matter and immediately demanded her reward.


    Zhao Feng''s expression froze for a moment, and then he took out three tail feathers, now drained of energy.


    "What? You¡­!" Little Ling''s face grimaced, her eyes going wide and seeming ready to spit flames.


    However, the elder of the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race had only told her to retrieve the tail feathers, not do anything else. Moreover, even though the tail feathers had been emptied of energy, the Intent veins in the feathers still existed, allowing the members of her race to comprehend the Intent within them.


    Little Ling rolled her eyes at Zhao Feng before putting the feathers away.


    "The people of the Spacetime Sacred Land will probably stick around for a while. You should stay and cultivate here. Time moves ten times slower here, and it''s very easy to comprehend Spacetime Intent here. This is also a great opportunity for you!" Zhao Feng said.


    Ten times more cultivation time truly was rather decent. If Little Ling was able to become a Rank Five True God, she would be the youngest Rank Five True God of her race and possess a revered status. One day, she would become a Rank Six True God or even an Ancient God. When the time came, she would leave behind her own tail feather and go to explore the vast world.


    "Hurry and recover your cultivation!" Zhao Feng gave an Interspatial Dimension to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had suffered a large drop in cultivation from the Origin Destruction it consumed and was no longer of much use.


    "Yes, Master!" A hint of happiness appeared on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s face.


    After spending such a long time with Zhao Feng, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s personality had changed quite a bit.


    In the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s view, Zhao Feng would definitely surpass where it had been at its peak, and perhaps even surpass Ancient Gods. Once Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye was fully awakened, his potential would be limitless. The entire Realm of Gods would quake. Becoming the mount of such a powerful character was no shame at all.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng floated into the void and assumed a cross-legged position.


    "The Spacetime Robe!"


    Whenever he saw this treasure, Zhao Feng would unwittingly get excited.


    "I wonder what rank of divine weapon this Spacetime Robe is!" Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    At the moment, all the divine weapons Zhao Feng had ever seen were low-quality divine rank. Of course, the other treasures Zhao Feng had obtained from the transparent palace could very well be average-quality divine rank.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng began to refine the Spacetime Robe. However, Zhao Feng realized that the refining process was extremely slow.


    One had to remember that when refining low-quality divine rank divine weapons, Zhao Feng needed at most four hours.


    But this was also proof of the Spacetime Robe''s quality. Since the refining was so slow and this was such an excellent place for cultivation, Zhao Feng split his mind to cultivate other things.


    "Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, 11th Level ¨C Five Elements Become One!" Zhao Feng''s mind sank into a vortex of Divine Power.


    Now that Zhao Feng had reached the level of Five Elements Become One, his energy had transformed into Five Elements Divine Power. Thus, the source of power in his body naturally could not continue to be called a Sacred Power Whirlpool.


    In the past, the five colors in Zhao Feng''s five-colored Sacred Power Whirlpool were clearly divided. But now, the five different kinds of energy had fused into a jade disc on which five different kinds of light slowly revolved.


    Circulating the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, Zhao Feng began to familiarize himself with and steady his new foundation. Zhao Feng had broken into the 11th level in such a rush that he had no time to familiarize himself with the new energy that was Five Elements Divine Power.


    Five Elements Divine Power was a powerful force that mixed the five different kinds of Wind Lightning together, creating a power that was many times stronger than the Lightning-Fire Obliteration.


    "I just formed Five Elements Divine Power, and it''s already on par with the Divine Power of a Rank Three True God!" Zhao Feng was a little excited.


    The 11th and 12th levels of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique were completely different from the first ten. These two levels were minor realms. Advancing through them was faster and did not require as many resources as the first ten levels. What they required more was comprehension ability.


    At present, Zhao Feng''s five types of Wind Lightning were only in the initial state of fusion. When he could perfectly fuse them, he could consider himself to have completed the 11th level.


    "Five Elements Divine Power!"


    With a thought, a five-colored light surged out of his body.


    Each stream of Five Elements Divine Power drew on each of the different kinds of Wind Lightning. This meant that, in using Five Elements Divine Power, Zhao Feng consumed five times more energy than usual.


    But Zhao Feng''s Divine Power Vortex had always been abnormal. It was extremely sturdy and could provide vast amounts of energy. As one progressed further in the 11th level, the Five Elements Divine Power would get stronger and stronger.


    Time slowly passed. Zhao Feng''s aura slowly increased, and five-colored light illuminated the starry sky. But very quickly, this powerful aura receded into Zhao Feng''s body, making it impossible to see his true strength.


    "I can now proficiently use Five Elements Divine Power!"


    Zhao Feng clenched his right hand, sensing the vast power surging ceaselessly within his body.


    "With the Five Elements Divine Power Vortex as the foundation, adding my bloodline and body, if I try for the Heavenly Divine Realm right now, I can at least become a Rank Three True God!" Zhao Feng was very confident in this conclusion.


    However, he only reached the Demigod level rather recently. His Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and Sacred Lightning Body still had room for improvement. For this reason, Zhao Feng planned to continue storing up energy and increase his reserves, setting an even higher target for himself.


    "A month has passed, and I''ve finally succeeded in refining the Spacetime Robe!" Zhao Feng smiled in delight.


    A month had passed here, but that was only three days in the outside world.


    "Let''s take a look at this Spacetime Robe. What mysteries does it hold?"


    A hint of wonder appeared on his face.


    This divine weapon definitely had an intelligence level equivalent to a human, and the dimension it created could make time move ten times slower than it did in the outside world. Zhao Feng was truly curious to see what sort of assistance such a powerful divine weapon could give him.

 1206 Closing the Secret Dimension

    Chapter 1206 - Closing the Secret Dimension


    As Zhao Feng immersed his mind into the Spacetime Robe, he realized that this dimension was completely under his control. Zhao Feng could leave whenever he wanted and bring in whoever he wished.


    In addition, this dimension had been created through a Spacetime ability. Thus, once Zhao Feng was strong enough, he could modify it.


    Besides that, Zhao Feng could receive other buffs by wearing the Spacetime Robe.


    Zhao Feng put on the dark silver robe and suddenly stood up.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm!" He fused Spacetime Intent into his two palms.


    Boom! Boom!


    Several Heaven Engulfing Palm images, carrying with them a vast momentum, melted into the void and almost instantly reappeared. Their enormous power seemed to cause the entire dimension to shudder.


    "My Space Intent was boosted to Level Three, but the boost to Time Intent is a little weaker," Zhao Feng halted his test and concluded.


    The Spacetime Robe boosted Zhao Feng''s Space Intent by one whole level, and his Time Intent had also received a rather significant boost. This meant that, while wearing the robe, Zhao Feng could use spacetime techniques that were more than half a level stronger than normal.


    "Let''s try this one." Zhao Feng gave an enigmatic smile as he poured Spacetime Intent into the Spacetime Robe.


    Swish!


    A spatial blur appeared around Zhao Feng, and then he vanished.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body suddenly appeared nearby.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng blinked back and forth in the air, his position changing so frequently that it was impossible to predict where he would appear next.


    "Not bad." A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    Spatial Blink was an ability the Spacetime Robe had given to Zhao Feng that allowed him to travel to any location within a certain rage.


    Although True Gods were all terrifying beings who were capable of locking down space, as an unexpected movement technique, Spatial Blink was quite decent.


    In addition, the Spacetime Robe also had many other spacetime abilities recorded in it, all of them available for Zhao Feng to learn.


    "I should first learn Instant Movement." Zhao Feng made his plans.


    With his Level Two Space Intent, it would take him little time to learn Instant Movement. In addition, the Spacetime Robe also buffed Instant Movement; it could increase the distance traveled or decrease the time needed.


    "I wonder if the Spacetime Robe can also buff the spacetime eye-bloodline techniques of the God''s Spiritual Eye!" Zhao Feng''s eyes suddenly brightened.


    The God''s Spiritual Eye''s Spatial Movement and Void Eye Slash could partially be considered as spacetime techniques. If the Spacetime Robe also buffed these techniques, Zhao Feng would be even more willing to cultivate spacetime eye-bloodline techniques.


    With this idea in mind, Zhao Feng activated the God''s Spiritual Eye while communicating with the Spacetime Robe.


    Bzzzz!


    A golden whirlpool appeared in Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Swish!


    At the same time, a vortex of eye-bloodline energy appeared nearby. But suddenly, Zhao Feng became frozen to the spot, his eyes turning unfocused.


    "This feeling¡­" Zhao Feng mumbled in a daze.


    Just a moment ago, when Zhao Feng used the spatial eye-bloodline techniques of the God''s Spiritual Eye while buffing them with the Spacetime Robe, the God''s Spiritual Eye changed. Zhao Feng felt like an enormous spatial framework had established a connection with the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    Gradually, Zhao Feng sensed his mind pulling away from his body, leaving this dimension and entering the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Boom! Bang! Thump!


    Outside, there were still many experts fighting over treasure. Meanwhile, the experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land had set up an array around the area where the Spacetime Robe had disappeared. They were apparently waiting for Zhao Feng to come out.


    Zhao Feng didn''t see the violet flame or the silver sword, and the Ancient God expert also appeared to have left.


    "Mm?" The Rank Five True God of the Spacetime Sacred Land seemed to sense something, and he looked up at the sky with a frown. For some reason, he felt like something had been watching him from up there.


    "But there''s nothing?" The Rank Five True God was befuddled. Did he just imagine it?


    In the Spacetime Robe''s dimension, Zhao Feng''s eyes regained a little spirit.


    "What was that just now? My consciousness left this dimension and fused with the space of the Ancient Dream Realm!" Zhao Feng''s mind was reeling in disbelief.


    In that moment of fusion, Zhao Feng felt like he could observe every corner of the Ancient Dream Realm, and this was without using the Eye of Heaven.


    After calming himself down, Zhao Feng once more activated the God''s Spiritual Eye while communicating with the Spacetime Robe.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng slowly crept toward that indistinct spatial framework, slowly expanding across the entirety of the Ancient Dream Realm.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was even more perfectly fused with space. He could observe everyone while they would find it very hard to notice Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had a thought.


    Bzzzzz! Broooom!


    The dimension of the Ancient Dream Realm suddenly began to shudder.


    "What happened?"


    The many experts fighting were given a fright. The strength of their techniques was simply not enough to move the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, so why did this dimension suddenly begin to shudder?


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s mind once more returned to his body.


    "I understand. Using the power of the Spacetime Robe, I''ve gained even greater control over the Ancient Dream Realm!" Zhao Feng took in a deep breath and said in surprise.


    Zhao Feng was now even more certain that the Ancient Dream Realm had a very close connection to the God''s Spiritual Eye. The Ancient Dream Realm might have been the God''s Spiritual Eye''s Origin Dimension.


    "If the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension that only opens once every ten thousand years opened early, then there''s definitely a way of closing it early!"


    Zhao Feng had always believed that he was the reason the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension opened early, so if he wanted to close it early and drive these people out, the critical point would rest on himself and the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    With this thought, Zhao Feng turned grim. He seated himself cross-legged and began to research this.


    "Origin Energy!" As Zhao Feng sent his mind into the mysterious golden ball, he discovered that he could now move this energy.


    Zhao Feng remembered that, whenever he used the God Eye Duplication, the God''s Spiritual Eye would also use up a certain amount of Origin Energy.


    "Based on my understanding of the Eye of Death, Origin Energy can influence the Origin Dimension!" Zhao Feng seemed to have grasped the major principle.


    Bzzzz!


    In the God Eye Dimension, the mysterious golden ball began to spin. This time, the golden ball began to release a dreamlike rainbow of power.


    As he pulled out this power, Zhao Feng felt the God''s Spiritual Eye slightly weaken.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng mixed his consciousness into this rainbow stream of energy and then slowly began to spread it through the enormous spatial framework.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s mind fused once more with the space of the Ancient Dream Realm. However, this time was completely different from the first two times. Zhao Feng could sense everything that was going on in a radius of millions of li. He also felt that everything in this place was under his control ¨C that the heavens and earth were at his command.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was the god of this world. Everything would proceed according to his will!


    "All of you, scram!" Zhao Feng mentally roared.


    At the same time, his consciousness mixed the God Eye''s Origin Energy with the enormous spatial framework.


    Bzzzzz! Broooom!


    The Ancient Dream Realm shuddered, and space began to operate in some wondrous fashion.


    A group walking nearby suddenly stopped.


    "Eh? The spatial token is reacting?" A special token appeared in an elder''s hand. The token was constantly flashing and releasing ripples of Space Intent.


    All the people entering the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension would have a specially crafted token bestowed by their faction. Only with this spatial token would they be able to sense the spatial pathway created by their race or sect, allowing for their smooth return.


    "It can''t be. In the past, wouldn''t the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension always remain open for half a year?" a young girl immediately asked.


    "I''m not sure, but the spatial token''s light is getting stronger and stronger. If we don''t return soon, we''ll be stuck here and won''t be able to go back!" The elder solemnly stared at the spatial token.


    "What? How can that be?"


    Everyone in the group took out their own spatial tokens, and upon confirming this fact, they became dejected.


    At this moment, everyone in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension sensed that the secret dimension was about to close and that they needed to return to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "How can this be? That brat still hasn''t come out!" An expert of the Spacetime Sacred Land had a face full of doubt and reluctance.


    "Let''s go. We can only take our leave!" one person advised.


    "Mm!" Quasi-God Kong Yuan assented.


    If Zhao Feng decided to hide in the Spacetime Robe''s dimension, they could nothing to him. There was even a high chance that Zhao Feng had already returned to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and wasn''t even around anymore.


    "God Sealing Sacred Land!" Kong Yuan muttered these four words.


    When he returned, he would investigate and see if the God Sealing Sacred Land actually had such a person. After all, the zone in which the God Sealing Sacred Land resided had not entered the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. The chances that Zhao Feng was a prodigy of the God Sealing Sacred Land were not large.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, one figure after another was disappearing from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s mind returned to his body.


    "It really did work!" Zhao Feng''s head was drenched in sweat as he excitedly spoke.


    He didn''t think that, with the Spacetime Robe, he would come upon a method to force everyone to leave the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. The Wild Ancient Secret Dimension opened early, and it closed early too!


    But now, Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye was thoroughly exhausted. His soul and consciousness were also extremely fatigued. He wanted nothing more than to fall over and go to sleep.


    However, Zhao Feng managed to endure.


    "Go, let''s leave this place!" Zhao Feng said to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Little Ling.


    "Master, those people from the Spacetime Sacred Land might still be outside!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon warned.


    But Zhao Feng had already taken the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Little Ling out of the Spacetime Robe''s dimension.


    "Eh? There''s no one?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon looked in shock at its surroundings, only to realize that they were completely deserted. A few days ago, when it left the Spacetime Robe for the first time, a major battle had been taking place, but now, not a single person remained.


    "Little Ling, you should go back now," Zhao Feng said to Little Ling.


    "Mm!" Little Ling''s eyes froze for a moment, and then she nodded her head.


    Only now that she was about to return to the phoenix nest did she realize that her time with Zhao Feng had been rather decent ¨C rather wonderful.


    Boom! Fwoosh!


    In a burst of violet flames, Little Ling''s graceful body transformed into a gorgeous Phoenix-Tailed Bird that immediately flew off.

 1207 Zhao Feng Appears

    Chapter 1207 - Zhao Feng Appears


    Zhao Feng was currently in the area where the transparent palace had manifested. What was once home to a long and unbroken mountain range was now a depression scarred by pits and holes.


    Thwish! Thwish!


    Two whistles through the air could be heard, heralding the arrival of Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan. Both of them had injuries of varying severity.


    The Eye of Myriad Forms could both attack and defend, and Zhao Wang possessed an undying body. Both of them could sustain gruesome injuries made by extraordinary foes.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat called out from Zhao Wan''s shoulder.


    "The Golden Jade Race and the Blue Scaled Race?" Zhao Feng muttered, his expression cold.


    During the battle earlier, Zhao Feng, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and Little Ling were taken into the Spacetime Robe''s dimension. When the Blue Scaled Race saw that Zhao Feng''s group now only had three people, they immediately staged a counterattack, and the members from the Golden Jade Race had joined them.


    Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan had many methods at their disposal, so they were eventually able to escape alive, but the blue-clothed elder that Zhao Feng had enslaved fell victim to their vicious strike.


    "Let''s go back!" Zhao Feng indifferently said.


    He naturally meant that they should return to Zhao Feng''s territory in the Ancient Dream Realm. With no more experts from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods present, it was somewhat difficult for a group of Zhao Feng''s strength to expand and develop in this area.


    Thus, Zhao Feng decided to first return to his region on the perimeter and slowly expand his territory.


    Whoosh!


    Of these people, Zhao Feng was the fastest, so he put everyone else in his Little World and set off.


    On the journey, Zhao Feng began to comprehend Instant Movement as he flew through the air. Every few days, Zhao Feng would understand another part about Instant Movement.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s body was buzzing with intense ripples of Space Intent that melted into the surrounding space.


    Bzzzz!


    The air was rippling with Space Intent, like it was a transparent surface of water.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng leaped, throwing his body into the rippling surface.


    Three hundred thousand li away!


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The air twisted as a powerful spatial ripple manifested.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng emerged from this rippling region of space.


    "Three hundred thousand li with just one Instant Movement!" A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    He had only just learned Instant Movement. As he grew more familiar with it, he would be able to travel even longer distances.


    After trying out Instant Movement a few more times, Zhao Feng used the transmission ability of the Misty Spatial World to return to his original territory.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng released his two clones, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and the little thieving cat.


    "Master, why didn''t you have Little Ling help us take care of Sky Feather Island?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon asked. It had used far too much Origin Destruction Energy, damaging its foundation and causing its cultivation to drop. Thus, it could not help Zhao Feng with this task.


    "It wasn''t necessary," Zhao Feng immediately replied.


    With Little Ling''s help, it really would be easy to take care of Sky Feather Island. However, Zhao Feng did not want to let too many people know that he could enter and exit the Ancient Dream Realm whenever he pleased. Besides, with Zhao Feng''s current level of strength and the people available to him, handling the Sky Feather Island was not difficult at all.


    "Just quickly recover your cultivation!" Zhao Feng said to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Zhao Feng was still in no rush to leave. He would wait until the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon recovered its cultivation, Zhao Wan''s and Zhao Wang''s injuries were healed, and he had firmed up his own cultivation.


    Whoosh!


    A figure flew toward Zhao Feng. This person was wearing a robe of blue cloth and had an amiable face with skin like white jade.


    "Mm, Zhao Hui." Zhao Feng nodded.


    The Soul Clone with the Eye of Samsara was called Zhao Hui. By now, Zhao Hui had succeeded in refining the Eye of Samsara into his soul.


    "Take these with you to help with your cultivation." Zhao Feng transmitted several techniques, treatises, and secret techniques into Zhao Hui''s mind.


    Zhao Feng planned for Zhao Hui to become a doctor. For battle, Zhao Feng already had Zhao Wang, Zhao Wan, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, as well as many ancient beasts. Moreover, the Eye of the Samsara of Life was not endowed with much combat ability.


    For these reasons, it was much better for Zhao Hui to be a doctor.


    One benefit was that he could help treat the injuries of Zhao Feng and the others.


    The second benefit was that doctors could also refine medicines and pills that could improve the cultivation speed of Zhao Feng''s group and resolve the bottlenecks they might face on the martial path.


    When he molded Zhao Hui''s body, Zhao Feng selected a large number of life-type materials, creating a body that was bursting with herbal energy and in harmony with the world and nature. This was done to smooth his path to becoming a doctor.


    However, if one did not have any talent in the path of medicine, the path to becoming a doctor would be even more difficult to traverse than the path of martial arts. For the time being, Zhao Hui would find it very difficult to reach the level that Zhao Feng desired.


    Swish!


    With a flick of his robe, Zhao Feng took his three clones and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon into the dimension within his Spacetime Robe. Time moved ten times slower in the Spacetime Robe Dimension compared to the outside world, and he naturally needed to make good use of it.


    After sending everyone in, Zhao Feng entered the dimension himself.


    Thud!


    Seating himself cross-legged on the ground, Zhao Feng began to browse the spacetime combat skills stored in the Spacetime Robe.


    "Spacetime combat skills are somewhat more difficult to cultivate. For now, I should find the techniques that I need the most and that are most suitable for me," Zhao Feng muttered.


    "Spatial Shift!" Zhao Feng''s gaze rested on this secret spatial technique.


    Spatial Shift shared the same nature as Instant Movement, but Spatial Shift placed even more emphasis on distance, maximizing the distance one could travel. A single Instant Movement could travel several hundred thousand li, but one Spatial Shift could cover tens of millions of li of distance, the equivalent of a short-distance Teleportation Array in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    But Spatial Shift had very high requirements. One needed to have at least Level Six Space Intent to use it. Zhao Feng could put it aside for now and continue looking.


    "I found it¡­ a spacetime eye-bloodline technique!" Zhao Feng''s eyes glimmered.


    Zhao Feng had the strongest theoretical foundation in eye-bloodline techniques, so spacetime eye-bloodline techniques were the most appropriate for him.


    "Spatial Lock Eye, Spacetime Seal!" The cultivation methods for these two spacetime eye-bloodline techniques appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    Spatial Lock Eye: lock down a region of space, making it impossible for opponents to use spatial movement techniques. With powerful enough Time Intent, one can also hasten or slow the flow of time in the region.


    Spacetime Seal: focus Space Intent on a single point, locking onto a single person and forbidding them from releasing any Space Intent. If paired with Time Intent, can stop the opponent''s body, acting as an immobilization technique.


    The Spatial Lock Eye was a middle-class divine technique while the Spacetime Seal was a high-class divine technique. Thus, Zhao Feng decided to start with the Spatial Lock Eye.


    He split his mind into various portions, with the first sliver of his mind cultivating the Spatial Lock Eye.


    The second strand of his mind cultivated the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body.


    The last strand of mind was used to study the Void Eye Slash. Ever since Zhao Feng had broken into the Mystic Light Realm, this eye-bloodline technique had gradually fallen out of his repertoire, but now that Zhao Feng was stronger and had some mastery over Space Intent, he began to think about modifying and strengthening this technique.


    These days of cultivation passed by very quickly. On a certain day, Zhao Feng''s body suddenly rose to a new level.


    Zhao Feng''s body was sparklingly translucent, its surface shining with the radiance of five-colored lightning.


    Boom! Hisss!


    The five-colored lightning and a terrifying physical power burst out of Zhao Feng''s body.


    Boom!


    The surrounding space faintly trembled.


    "The Sacred Lightning Body has reached late-stage level seven!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    The new Five Elements Divine Power working together with the power of the Tribulation Lightning made it even easier for Zhao Feng to temper his Sacred Lightning Body. As a result, it only took him several dozen days to achieve this breakthrough.


    With his late-stage level seven Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng could rely purely on physical strength to crush a Rank Two True God.


    After firming up his cultivation, Zhao Feng used this strand of thought to research the Soul Splitting Technique, and then he entered a period of closed cultivation.


    After ten-some days, Zhao Feng opened his eyes, but this was only to test out his eye-bloodline technique.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash!" Zhao Feng''s gaze focused on a certain point.


    Swish!


    A spatial vortex appeared, and then a white blade of crystalline lightning exploded forth.


    Kacha!


    The white blade left a dreadful white radiance wherever it passed.


    "Not good enough. The spatial ripples are too large. Space Intent experts will be able to easily notice it!" Zhao Feng''s expression sank.


    Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash was a new technique Zhao Feng had created by combining the Void Eye Slash with other techniques. The Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash had incredible power, so if it was directly used on someone, it would be easily discovered.


    Zhao Feng continued to research and test. Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, but this was only a bit more than half a month in the outside world.


    "Master, I''ve recovered to the level of a Rank Two True God!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon came to Zhao Feng''s side and said.


    "Since that''s the case, let''s go out!" Zhao Feng opened his bright eyes.


    ¡­


    Sky Feather Island:


    The Sky Feather Island Lord, True God Guisha, and the many True God experts of Sky Feather Island were still standing guard at this place. Four months had passed, but during these four months, no spatial ripples had been sighted in the vicinity.


    This made many people wonder if Zhao Feng was no longer in this dimension. However, until the Sky Feather Island Lord said something, no one dared to leave.


    "Big Brother, perhaps that brat has already left this place?" True God Guisha asked in doubt.


    "Impossible! Since he''s hiding in this region of space, as long as he moves, he will create a spatial ripple!" the Sky Feather Island Lord said, his face cold and gloomy.


    In truth, he was also beginning to wonder if Zhao Feng was no longer in this dimension. If this Zhao Feng was hidden in this dimension and could go without showing himself for four months, then he probably had the ability to remain in hiding for even longer.


    Although four months was like the snap of a finger to True Gods, if they didn''t resolve this matter, it would be like a fishbone in their throat, making them spend every day in suffering.


    "Mm? It''s appeared!" Suddenly, the Sky Feather Island Lord''s face froze in shock, his eyes exploding with a chilling light. After four months, he finally sensed a ripple in this dimension.


    "Attack!" the Sky Feather Island Lord roared.


    Thwish!


    A gray-white light shot out of the Sky Feather Island Lord''s hand, the cold energy causing people to tremble in fear.


    Whoosh!


    The cold gray-white light left an icy mist behind as it traveled through the air.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    All the experts present immediately circulated their Divine Power and aimed their attacks at where the Sky Feather Island Lord had attacked.


    Brrrooom!


    The world thundered and rumbled as shockwaves of Divine Power spread in all directions. Even the Space Sealing Array laid on the ground began to waver.


    "I wonder if it succeeded!" True God Guisha found himself a little expectant. The attack just now contained the power of nearly twenty True God experts.


    "Haha, such a large audience! I truly kept all of you waiting a long time!" Brazen laughter resounded through the air.


    As the dust settled, a figure slowly emerged, with golden hair and silver robes, handsome and elegant.

 1208 Crushing Power

    Chapter 1208 - Crushing Power


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve finally come out!" As True God Guisha yelled out, ghostly Divine Power began to seethe around his body. The loathing and pressure that had built up in him for four months were instantly unleashed.


    "This is him?" A few True Gods who had never seen Zhao Feng were clearly surprised.


    An ordinary Quasi-God caused True God Guisha to summon all the True God experts of Sky Feather Island and caused even the Sky Feather Island Lord himself to stand guard here! This made them all very curious as to Zhao Feng''s identity.


    "Zhao Feng, why did you come out!?" True God Sky Fire of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race showed a slight hint of concern on his face.


    There were nearly twenty True God experts here, including the Rank Three True God Guisha and the Rank Four True God Sky Feather Island Lord. No matter how much potential Zhao Feng had, only four months had passed. There was no way he could fight these people. True God Guisha would only need to strike once to capture Zhao Feng alive.


    "Zhao Feng?" The Sky Feather Island Lord''s icy eyes took the measure of this golden-haired man.


    The fact that he was able to kill True God Guili was proof that this man was extremely talented, even more than Xi Feng. Moreover, the abrupt appearance and relaxed expression of this person made the Sky Feather Island Lord feel like none of this was real.


    Suddenly, he grimaced. He realized that Zhao Feng was floating in the air!


    It had to be known that they had laid out a Space Sealing Array in this area, which sealed off flight and the use of Spatial Energy. However, at this moment, Zhao Feng was floating in the middle of the Space Sealing Array.


    How was this possible?


    The next person to realize this was the array master that had laid down the array.


    "It must be that treasure!" The Sky Feather Island Lord''s eyes fell upon the dark silver robe Zhao Feng was wearing. He could sense that profound Space Intent shrouded this silver robe, repulsing the power of the array.


    This treasure was at least an average-quality divine weapon. It had to be his!


    "Treasure!" The other True God experts also noticed the dark silver robe that Zhao Feng was wearing. Only a space-type divine weapon could ignore a Space Sealing Array!


    Boom! Swoosh!


    In a flash, the soul power of ten-some True Gods pressed down on Zhao Feng. This energy passed through, unleashing a burst of explosions against the soul. The amount of Intent energy they set into motion was enough to instantly destroy a four-star faction.


    Brrrooom!


    Clouds roiled around Zhao Feng, and the nearby mountains collapsed. It seemed like an apocalypse was descending.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng stood where he was like an immovable mountain.


    The will of his soul was like a deep and vast ocean. With his Sacred Lightning Body at late-stage level seven, he could ignore all the attacks of Rank Two True Gods and below. These trifling Rank One and Rank Two True Gods could not even hope to harm with their mental energy!


    "This¡­ how!?" The True God experts were all stunned.


    Even if Zhao Feng''s soul had reached the level of a Rank Two True God, he could not possibly block the mental assaults of so many True Gods. Could he also have a divine weapon that could protect his soul?


    Greed appeared in their eyes as they stared at Zhao Feng.


    "Did Zhao Feng breakthrough and become a True God?" True God Sky Fire wondered in shock.


    Zhao Feng''s aura was enormous and steady, deep and profound. True God Sky Fire found it impossible to determine his cultivation level. Moreover, True God Sky Fire knew of Zhao Feng''s talent. If he attempted to break into the Heavenly Divine Realm, he had a very high chance of reaching Rank Two.


    "Hmph, it seems like your strength increased quite a bit!" True God Guisha said, his face harsh and cold. If Zhao Feng had not gotten stronger, he obviously would not have dared to appear. However, just how much stronger could Zhao Feng get in four months? Even if he became a True God, he could not possibly be a match for so many True Gods, and even his big brother ¨C the Sky Feather Island Lord ¨C was here.


    "Kill!" True God Guisha roared.


    All the True Gods stared at Zhao Feng. Everyone could see that the silver robe was unusual, and they had also heard that Zhao Feng had revealed divine weapons of very high quality. The first to kill Zhao Feng might be able to gain a portion of his treasures.


    At this moment, all of them were thinking about how to get something from Zhao Feng''s corpse. After all, they were all True God experts who had been forced to stand guard at this place for four months. They would truly be unwilling if they had to go back empty-handed.


    Swooosh!


    Ten-some True Gods lunged at Zhao Feng.


    A terrifying pressure instantly engulfed everything around Zhao Feng.


    Boooooom!


    Lightning, fire, ice, wind; all kinds of terrifying and vast energies rumbled toward Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng seemed on the verge of being drowned underneath this deluge of True God attacks.


    Suddenly, a spatial blur appeared around Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng instantly vanished.


    "This¡­ what''s going on?" Everyone who saw this was immediately confused and befuddled.


    A Rank One True God naturally could not understand the Spatial Blink.


    "Watch out!" True God Guisha suddenly noticed something and yelled out a warning.


    But his warning came too late.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng appeared behind a Rank One True God.


    Swish!


    Circulating the Sacred Lightning Body and activating the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline, Zhao Feng punched.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    A massive hole was punched into the Rank One True God''s body, and his body became soaked in blood.


    Fwooosh!


    A searing blood-colored flame immediately spread through his entire body.


    "Ah¡­!"


    After a brief scream, this Rank One True God was dead in both body and soul!


    Hisss!


    All fell deathly still! The True Gods around Zhao Feng were slack-jawed and wide-eyed.


    In one strike, he killed a Rank One True God without encountering the slightest resistance!


    A chill went through all of them. The majority of the True Gods here were just Rank One True Gods. This meant that Zhao Feng could kill them as easily as flipping his palm, in a single strike! And someone who could dispatch Rank One True Gods in a single blow wouldn''t find Rank Two True Gods much more difficult!


    An invisible fear began to seize the hearts of these lower-ranked True Gods.


    "This person¡­" The Sky Feather Island Lord''s eyes turned gloomy, his expression turning grim.


    He could also kill a Rank One True God in a single strike, but there was something unusual about the ability Zhao Feng used just now. This was clearly an ability only someone with strong Space Intent could use.


    "Attack together!" the Sky Feather Island Lord coldly ordered.


    Thwish!


    True God Guisha used the power of his Little World and charged at Zhao Feng. Even if Zhao Feng could display such frightening strength, he definitely couldn''t kill a Rank Three True God.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The other True Gods had no other option except to work together with True God Guisha. After all, the Sky Feather Island Lord was a Rank Four True God and could crush them like ants. None of them dared to go against his will.


    Moreover, they had more people. If they worked together and were careful, then with the aid of True God Guisha and the Sky Feather Island Lord, they could definitely kill Zhao Feng.


    "All of you are too slow!" Zhao Feng shook his head.


    Swish!


    With a surge of Space Intent, Zhao Feng vanished again.


    "Watch out!"


    The moment he disappeared, everyone became nervous. It was just a moment ago that a Rank One True God had been ambushed and killed in a single strike.


    But even though they were on their guard, there was still nothing they could do.


    "Ah¡­!"


    As Zhao Feng appeared behind another True God, yet another miserable scream rang through the air.


    A second True God had fallen! It was done instantly, with a single strike!


    "Seeking death!" With a cold snort, the Sky Feather Island Lord''s body flashed, and he appeared next to Zhao Feng.


    He had True God Guisha and the others attack precisely so that Zhao Feng would be forced to use Spatial Blink. The moment Zhao Feng appeared, the Sky Feather Island Lord would strike, certain that Zhao Feng would have nowhere to run.


    "Frigid Ice Underworld Palm!"


    The Sky Feather Island Lord''s palm had concentrated so much icy energy that it seemed to be a ball of white mist.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Sky Feather Island Lord struck with his palm, and an icy palm image suffused with cold and sinister energy that could corrode all things flew toward Zhao Feng with a thunderous momentum.


    "The Sky Feather Island Lord has joined the battle! This brat is doomed!"


    "As expected of a Rank Four True God. This attack is enough to exterminate my entire race!"


    The Rank One and Rank Two True Gods were all delighted and excited by this sight.


    Boom!


    The massive dark gray palm crashed into Zhao Feng''s body.


    Buzzz! Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s dark silver robe began to produce layer after layer of spatial blurs. The power of the palm seemed to be transmitted to another dimension. Like a stone sinking into the ocean, its power rapidly drained away.


    Boom! Bang!


    When the greatly weakened Frigid Ice Underworld Palm finally hit Zhao Feng, it could only create a thin sheet of ice. Zhao Feng stood where he was as if he was completely unharmed.


    "That brat actually came out unscathed!"


    "How could it be!?"


    The True God experts reeled in shock at this sight, mighty waves crashing in their minds. Zhao Feng was just a Quasi-God. How could a Quasi-God be this powerful? How was he able to block the Sky Feather Island Lord''s attack?


    "How could this be?" The Sky Feather Island Lord stared in complete shock.


    His attack that was backed by the full power of his Rank Four True God cultivation had not been able to do any damage to Zhao Feng? Not even a Rank Four True God could do this!


    Of course, the Sky Feather Island Lord did not believe that this had been done through Zhao Feng''s own power. It had to be because of the dark silver robe.


    That robe might even be a high-quality divine rank weapon!


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s figure vanished once more.


    "Not good! He''s going to use this move to kill another True God!" The Sky Feather Island Lord had a nasty grimace.


    If even the Space Sealing Array couldn''t stop Zhao Feng, his own techniques naturally could not either.


    "Hurry and run! He''s too strong, especially that movement technique of his!"


    Zhao Feng''s disappearance instantly threw the True Gods into a panic. None of them knew who Zhao Feng would appear behind next!


    Each time Zhao Feng blinked away, he seemed to be foretelling the fall of another True God!


    "Mm?" At this moment, the Sky Feather Island Lord suddenly sensed a furtive spatial ripple behind himself! He hadn''t even imagined that Zhao Feng would target him!


    "Hmph, you''re suicidal!" The Sky Feather Island Lord harrumphed as he activated his Divine Power.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body emerged from behind the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    "Go and die! You were actually so arrogant as to actually appear behind me!?" The Sky Feather Island Lord gave a sinister smile.


    Zhao Feng was only skilled in Space Intent, which made it impossible for anyone to get close to him. But now, Zhao Feng had moved of his own volition next to the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    Even if Zhao Feng had an extremely high level defensive divine weapon on him, the Sky Feather Island Lord was completely confident that he could kill Zhao Feng in close combat.


    "Hehehe!" Zhao Feng''s lips curled upward as he backed up. At the same time, Zhao Feng''s left eye began to give off terrifying ripples of Eye Intent.


    "God Eye Duplication, Frigid Ice Underworld Palm!"


    An icy palm image suddenly appeared, rumbling toward the Sky Feather Island Lord with cold and frigid energy that could corrode all things.


    "How could this be!?" The Sky Feather Island Lord''s face contorted in shock as he hurriedly activated his defensive techniques.


    Boom! Bang!


    The massive palm of ice crashed into the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    Bang! Thump! Thump!


    The Sky Feather Island Lord was sent flying backward and was only able to stabilize himself after traveling some distance. At this moment, his entire body was covered in a cold and sinister fog, a chilly stream of blood was trickling from his lips, and his face was ghastly pale.


    All the other True Gods saw this and felt frozen to the spot, their faces twisting in fear as their courage failed.

 1209 Counterattack on the Sky Feather Island Lord

    Chapter 1209 - Counterattack on the Sky Feather Island Lord


    Even the Sky Feather Island Lord was pushed back by Zhao Feng, leaving all the other True Gods stunned and speechless. Moreover, Zhao Feng used the Sky Feather Island Lord''s supreme technique. This made their brains briefly short-circuit as they struggled to understand what happened.


    "So¡­ strong!" True God Sky Fire swallowed down his spittle, his body shaking.


    Someone who hadn''t even broken into the realm of True Gods was able to exchange blows with a Rank Four True God. Zhao Feng managed to transform to such an enormous degree in just a few months. Just how did he manage it?


    Although True God Sky Fire was very excited, he was also still a little worried. There were still many True Gods present, and besides the Sky Feather Island Lord, there was also the Rank Three True God Guisha.


    And Zhao Feng was alone!


    In the end, Zhao Feng was still not a Rank Four True God. True God Sky Fire did not believe that Zhao Feng could kill the Sky Feather Island Lord. However, as long as Zhao Feng survived, he was certain to surpass the Sky Feather Island Lord soon enough.


    "Brat, your death is inevitable!" The Sky Feather Island Lord had an icy and gloomy expression, his two eyes shining with a savage light.


    He was a Rank Four True God, and yet he had been wounded by a sneak attack from a mere Quasi-God. If he did not kill Zhao Feng today, he would be the laughingstock of all the other True Gods.


    In addition, the Sky Feather Island Lord still believed that this was because of the robe Zhao Feng was wearing.


    "Heheh!"


    Zhao Feng sneered.


    The Spacetime Robe was of extremely high quality. The Sky Feather Island Lord''s attacks were incapable of wounding Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng also possessed superior speed. With the Spacetime Robe, he was in an invincible position. Just how did the Sky Feather Island Lord plan to kill him?


    Of course, Zhao Feng only had the strength of a Rank Three True God. If he wasn''t using the power of the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng wouldn''t have been able to stop the attacks of the numerous True Gods, much less contend against the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    "None of you are allowed to leave! I''ll kill anyone who tries!" the Sky Feather Island Lord coldly barked at the surrounding True Gods.


    Zhao Feng''s spatial abilities were too powerful. In a duel, the Sky Feather Island Lord would find it very difficult to get close to Zhao Feng. However, if he made the others act as targets for Zhao Feng to attack, he could use the moment Zhao Feng attacked to exploit the gaps in Zhao Feng''s defense.


    "Yes, Island Lord!" All the True Gods knew that the Sky Feather Island Lord was treating them as sacrificial targets, but they also knew that, if they tried to escape, the Sky Feather Island Lord would simply execute them. All they could do was pray that Zhao Feng targeted someone else.


    "Haha, it''s true. None of you will be leaving today!" Zhao Feng raised his head to the sky and laughed.


    The problem of the Sky Feather Island Lord needed to be resolved. He also could not let the rest of these people leave so easily.


    The other True Gods couldn''t help but bitterly smile at Zhao Feng''s words. The Sky Feather Island Lord was so powerful that he could compel them all to remain here as targets, and Zhao Feng also seemed like he had absolute confidence in his ability to keep them here either way. All these True Gods were like playthings in the palms of these two powerhouses.


    "Hmph, until you''re dead, they naturally can''t leave!" The Sky Feather Island Lord spread his Divine Sense over the entire battlefield while he locked his eyes onto Zhao Feng.


    "Is that so?" As Zhao Feng spat out these words, a spatial blur appeared around his body.


    "This brat¡­" The Sky Feather Island Lord grimaced in shock. Whenever Zhao Feng used Spatial Blink, he would be able to calculate where Zhao Feng would appear and attack him. Zhao Feng also knew this.


    But Zhao Feng still chose to use Spatial Blink! What sort of person would willingly walk into a dead end, knowing it was a dead end?


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng suddenly disappeared.


    "Over there!" The Sky Feather Island Lord''s Divine Sense had the surrounding area of several dozen li under his control, allowing him to immediately determine where Zhao Feng would appear.


    He was still confused as to why Zhao Feng would choose to knowingly tread on a mountain where tigers dwelled. But the Sky Feather Island Lord could not simply watch as Zhao Feng murdered his men.


    "His target is me?" A Rank One True God was instantly stricken by despair. He was a True God of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race. He just had a premonition that he might be Zhao Feng''s next target.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body appeared behind this True God. In the next moment, the Sky Feather Island Lord and True God Guisha arrived.


    The Sky Feather Island Lord had a fan made of Mystic Ice in his hand while True God Guisha wielded a silver spear made of bone.


    "Black Ghost Devours the Heavens!"


    "Ice Underworld Piercer!"


    The two powerful True Gods activated their divine weapons and used their most powerful attacks. Destructive energy forced all the surrounding True Gods to back away in fear that they would be injured by the aftershocks. The targets of these attacks were Zhao Feng and the True God of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re finished!" The True God of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race gave a despairing smile as he cursed Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng paid zero attention to this True God. Looking to the Sky Feather Island Lord, he waved the Spacetime Robe.


    Swish!


    Three powerful auras suddenly appeared.


    "Black Hole of Death!"


    The moment Zhao Wang appeared, he used the Staff of Death Curse in his hand. A flood of death energy swept through the area, decaying all life!


    Thwish!


    The Staff of Death Curse and the Eye of Death resonated with each other, unleashing a black mist bursting with wicked energy and Intent. The Black Hole of Death directly took on the Sky Feather Island Lord''s attack.


    Hwooom!


    The Black Hole of Death sucked away at the Sky Feather Island Lord''s powerful strike. At the same time, Death Intent ate away at the power of the attack, rapidly weakening it.


    Death Intent could corrode all things in the world and plunge them into the abyss of death.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!"


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!"


    Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon used this chance to attack the Sky Feather Island Lord and True God Guisha.


    "Sword of Piercing Metal!" On the other side, Zhao Wan used the Eye of Myriad Forms to shatter True God Guisha''s attack.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The power of their attacks struck the Sky Feather Island Lord and True God Guisha.


    "He has allies?" The Sky Feather Island Lord''s face appeared somewhat haggard. Zhao Wang''s Death Intent was too powerful, instantly eating away at several thousand years of his life.


    "This¡­ they really are Zhao Feng''s allies!" True God Guisha covered his chest, stabilizing his injuries as he hesitantly spoke. He had seen Zhao Wan and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon before, but he didn''t expect Zhao Wan to be so powerful.


    "So many experts!" The True Gods on the scene were also dumbfounded at all the moves Zhao Feng had in reserve.


    "Spatial Lock Eye!" Zhao Feng used the God''s Spiritual Eye, focusing a surge of Space Intent on the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    In an instant, a region of space was locked down. The Sky Feather Island Lord could no longer use spatial escape techniques, and even his use of Space Intent was limited.


    "This is¡­?" The Sky Feather Island Lord naturally noticed the shift in the region of space around him. He didn''t expect for Zhao Feng''s secret technique to be even stronger than his Space Sealing Array.


    The Sky Feather Island Lord finally understood why Zhao Feng had boldly stridden into the tiger''s den. Zhao Feng''s true goal from the start was the tiger that was the Sky Feather Island Lord. If Zhao Feng had blinked behind the Sky Feather Island Lord, the Sky Feather Island Lord would definitely have his defense up. Thus, Zhao Feng intentionally chose to blink behind some other True God, baiting the Sky Feather Island Lord and True God Guisha into attacking him.


    "How could this be?" The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf True God was frozen to the spot, a dumbfounded look on his face. Zhao Feng only appeared behind him to lure in the Sky Feather Island Lord and True God Guisha.


    It was truly laughable; a mighty True God like him could only serve as bait between two powerful forces.


    "The two of you stand guard. Kill anyone who tries to leave!" Zhao Feng ordered the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Wan.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng and Zhao Wang charged straight at the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    "Scram!" The Sky Feather Island Lord hurriedly waved his Mystic Ice Fan, stirring up a vast storm of ice.


    The Sky Feather Island Lord lost his nerve. He hadn''t expected Zhao Feng to target him. Moreover, the man next to Zhao Feng was overflowing with Death energy, and his strength was abnormal for a Quasi-God. Crucially, even the Sky Feather Island Lord could feel the dreadful power of the pitch-black staff in his hand!


    "Black Hole of Death!" Zhao Wang activated the Eye of Death, resonating it with the black eye on the Staff of Death Curse and shooting out another cloud of black mist.


    Thwish!


    The black mist exterminated everything it passed.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm!" Zhao Feng used his Spacetime Intent to unleash an enormous Heaven Engulfing Palm, which vanished into the void only to immediately appear and impact against the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    "Celestial Arctic Shield!" With a wave of his hands, the Sky Feather Island Lord formed an enormous shield made of ice crystals in front of himself.


    "Break!" Zhao Feng unleashed several more Heaven Engulfing Palms.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Level Two Space Intent, the buff of the Spacetime Robe, and the level of the Heaven Engulfing Palm itself produced a terrifying power that instantly shattered the Sky Feather Island Lord''s defense.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Sky Feather Island Lord had no time to evade and was sent flying back several li by a Heaven Engulfing Palm, a stream of blood ejecting from his mouth.


    "Touch of Death!" The Staff of Death Curse instantly sent out countless nimble black tentacles.


    Thwish!


    These tentacles of Death immediately covered the sky as they made their way to wrap around the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    "I can''t believe it! These two have so many treasures¡­!" The Sky Feather Island Lord was bursting with rage.


    The Spacetime Robe Zhao Feng was wearing possessed incredible defense and a profound movement technique, and it could even buff spacetime combat skills. And Zhao Wang, with the Staff of Death Curse, had a powerful Death Intent that could corrode all things.


    "Run!" The Sky Feather Island Lord no longer had the will to fight.


    Zhao Feng was too fast, his defense too sturdy. It was impossible to kill him. Meanwhile, the divine weapon in Zhao Wang''s hand was sinister and frightening. It posed a major threat to him.


    But because he could not use spatial escape techniques, the Sky Feather Island Lord could only rely on his formidable Divine Power to fly through the air.


    The speed of a Rank Four True God was nothing to laugh at. If he put his all into escaping, these two Quasi-God wouldn''t be able to kill him, no matter how astonishing their abilities were.


    But right as he began to flee, the space in front of the Sky Feather Island Lord began to surge with powerful spatial ripples.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Space twisted, and Zhao Feng emerged.


    "This is¡­ Instant Movement!" The Sky Feather Island Lord had seen many things, so he naturally recognized this skill. However, he never imagined that a trifling Quasi-God like Zhao Feng could use Instant Movement.


    "Gaze of the God Eye!" The moment Zhao Feng appeared, he used the Gaze of the God Eye to hold down the Sky Feather Island Lord''s soul.


    "Hmph, you think that this eye-bloodline technique can absorb my soul?" The Sky Feather Island Lord harrumphed.


    Although Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique was strong, his Soul Intent was too weak. This move would have no effect on the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    But just when the Sky Feather Island Lord was preparing to break free¡­


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s silver robe fluttered, and Zhao Wang appeared.


    "Gaze of Death!


    Zhao Wang used the Eye of Death while also pointing the Staff of Death Curse at the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    Bzzzz!


    The Eye of Death and the black eye on the staff both produced a powerful Death Intent that descended upon the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    Aaaaaah!


    The shrieks of ghosts rose from the Staff of Death Curse. This was Curse Power! The powers of Death and Curse merged into a dreadful power that could transform any living being into dust.


    Zhao Feng was only temporarily holding down the Sky Feather Island Lord. The true killing move came from Zhao Wang and the Staff of Death Curse!

 1210 The Death of the Sky Feather Island Lord

    Chapter 1210 - The Death of the Sky Feather Island Lord


    The Gaze of the God Eye and the Gaze of Death locked onto the Sky Feather Island Lord, greatly strengthening the seal upon him. In addition, the black eye on the Staff of Death Curse seemed to be boosting the power of Zhao Wang''s eye-bloodline technique.


    "Ah¡­!" The Sky Feather Island Lord gave a miserable scream. He could feel his life, power, and soul withering away before the Death Intent.


    Moreover, the formidable Curse Power of the Staff of Death Curse continued to encroach on his body, reducing his ability to recover and resist.


    "Damn, how could it be this powerful? Is this divine weapon a supreme-quality divine weapon?!" The Sky Feather Island Lord stared at the Staff of Death Curse, his heart filled with fear.


    Divine weapons were divided into low quality, average quality, high quality, and supreme quality. The vast majority of low-ranked True Gods used low-quality divine weapons. Rank Four to Rank Six True Gods used average-quality divine weapons, and Ancient Gods used high-quality divine weapons. Supreme-quality divine weapons were rumored to only be used by God Lords.


    Zhao Wang was only a Quasi-God, but the divine weapon he used was able to unleash such powerful attacks. This meant that it could only be a supreme-quality weapon.


    Supreme-quality divine weapons were the divine weapons of God Lords! Yet, one was being held in the hands of a weak Quasi-God.


    Swish!


    A clone suddenly appeared behind the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    Thwish!


    The Sky Feather Island Lord''s clone immediately charged at Zhao Feng and Zhao Wang.


    If he could just disrupt one member of the pair, the Sky Feather Island Lord could still escape alive. If he died to two Quasi-Gods, he would die with everlasting regret!


    With a thought from Zhao Feng, the little thieving cat emerged from the Spacetime Robe.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat''s golden dragon-snake whip lashed out at the Sky Feather Island Lord''s clone.


    "Explode!" The Sky Feather Island Lord clenched his teeth and yelled.


    In a flash, lethal energy began to gather in his clone.


    "Oh no!" Zhao Feng''s face flickered in surprise.


    The Sky Feather Island Lord''s clone had the strength of a peak Rank Two True God. If it self-detonated, even a Rank Three True God would be lucky to survive.


    Swish!


    With a flutter of the robe, Zhao Feng''s team fled into the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    Swish!


    After an instant, Zhao Feng reappeared.


    Brrrooom!


    The world was dim and gloomy, ravaged by a frigid power that cut to the bone.


    The moment of the actual explosion had the greatest power. With the Sacred Lightning Body, Zhao Feng could ignore the lingering aftereffects of the explosion.


    "Where do you think you''re going?" Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye looked toward a certain direction.


    Bzzzz!


    Powerful ripples of Spacetime Intent appeared around the Spacetime Robe.


    "Instant Movement!"


    With a flying leap, Zhao Feng vanished into the air.


    ¡­


    Several hundred thousand li away, the mutilated and feeble Sky Feather Island Lord flew through the air. After breaking free of Zhao Feng and Zhao Wang''s combined restraint, he immediately used a spatial technique to flee. Although it was inferior to Instant Movement, it still possessed astonishing speed.


    "A supreme-quality divine weapon! Even if I can''t get it, all of you are still doomed!" The Sky Feather Island Lord''s face seethed with hatred. Once he announced the existence of a supreme-quality divine weapon to the world, countless Ancient God experts would fall upon Zhao Feng in a frenzy to get it for themselves.


    Suddenly, the Sky Feather Island Lord sensed a powerful spatial ripple from behind him. Zhao Feng suddenly leaped out of the air.


    "He caught up so quickly!" The Sky Feather Island Lord was stunned.


    He had no idea that Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Robe could increase the distance that Instant Movement could travel. In addition, the Spacetime Robe could reduce the interval time of using Instant Movement and increase its stability.


    "You can''t escape!" Zhao Feng condensed wings of lightning on his back.


    Brrrooom!


    With a deafening peal of thunder, Zhao Feng immediately caught up to the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    "Frigid Flash!" With a look of shock, the Sky Feather Island Lord immediately used his spatial escape technique, transforming into a ray of icy light.


    "Haha, when being pursued by me, you will never escape!" Zhao Feng sneered.


    After chasing for a while, Zhao Feng used Instant Movement again to catch up to the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    "Even if you can catch me, you can''t kill me!" The Sky Feather Island Lord ignored Zhao Feng and continued to flee.


    Instant Movement required an enormous amount of energy, and Zhao Feng could not use it forever. In addition, the robe Zhao Feng was using was only a supplementary-type divine weapon, and Zhao Feng did not have the cultivation to produce attacks that could threaten him.


    Based on the Sky Feather Island Lord''s conjectures, that man with the pitch-black staff didn''t appear because the supreme-quality divine weapon either required tremendous amounts of energy to use or had side-effects that made it impossible to use repeatedly.


    Thus, the Sky Feather Island Lord had a very large chance of survival.


    "Is that so?" Zhao Feng said in a questioning tone as his left eye began to work.


    Swish!


    Countless white arcs of lightning began to crackle within Zhao Feng''s left eye, and Destruction Intent that could destroy souls, combined with powerful Soul ripples, began to surge forth.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Kacrack!


    A contorted flame of Tribulation Lightning exploded against the Sky Feather Island Lord''s head.


    Although Zhao Feng''s soul was too weak for his Soul eye-bloodline techniques to harm the Island Lord, the damage inflicted by the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame was dependent on the number of Tribulation Lightning symbols. The more there were, the more damage would be inflicted on the soul.


    "Ah¡­!" The Sky Feather Island Lord''s body froze as he screamed.


    He felt like his soul had fallen into a hell of Tribulation Lightning, bolt after bolt cleaving at it.


    After using the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, Zhao Feng''s left eye continued to ripple.


    Bzzzz!


    A whirlpool slowly emerged on the surface of the left eye.


    Silently, a vortex of Eye Intent appeared on the Sky Feather Island Lord''s chest. A blinding white blade of lightning shot out of this vortex. It was taller than a man and exuded the terrible energy of a Lightning Tribulation.


    Swoosh!


    The massive blade of lightning passed straight through the Sky Feather Island Lord''s body, cutting him cleanly in two.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash!" Zhao Feng half-closed his left eye.


    The Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash used the condensed energy of Tribulation Lightning, so it was extremely powerful. The Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash was different from the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame in that, even though it could still do some damage to the soul, it was more of a physical attack.


    Swish!


    With a wave of the robe, Zhao Wang appeared.


    Using the Death-type divine weapon repeatedly was extremely exhausting to Zhao Wang and also twisted his personality. However, in order to guarantee that the Sky Feather Island Lord was annihilated, Zhao Feng needed to borrow the power of Zhao Wang''s Staff of Death Curse.


    "Black Hole of Death!" Zhao Wang activated the Staff of Death Curse.


    Thwish!


    The Eye of Death resonated with the eye of the Staff of Death Curse and shot out a black mist seething with the wicked aura of Death and Curse.


    Whoosh!


    The black mist attached itself to the Sky Feather Island Lord''s soul.


    Hwooom!


    The Black Hole of Death immediately began to absorb the power of the Sky Feather Island Lord''s soul.


    The Sky Feather Island Lord''s physical body had been cut in two by Zhao Feng, so he only had his soul left. For this reason, the power of the Black Hole of Death was completely focused on the soul.


    Hwooom!


    The Sky Feather Island Lord''s soul was rapidly absorbed. The weaker the soul became, the less it could struggle.


    "Ah¡­ I''m not willing!" the Sky Feather Island Lord''s soul hoarsely cried out.


    In the end, all the power of his soul was absorbed by the Black Hole of Death. The Sky Feather Island Lord was dead!


    "It really is a huge hassle to thoroughly kill a True God much stronger than oneself," Zhao Feng sighed.


    He owed much of this feat of killing the Sky Feather Island Lord to the two divine weapons. However, the two divine weapons were still in an incomplete state; Zhao Feng and Zhao Wang were still incapable of using their true power.


    Bzzzz!


    Spatial ripples appeared in the air, and Zhao Feng leaped into them and vanished.


    ¡­


    A pitch-black dragon several thousand zhang long coiled in the sky.


    "All of you are seeking death!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon furiously bellowed.


    "What ancient race is this? A Black Serpent Dragon?"


    "What a dreadful bloodline!"


    The many True Gods below trembled, as the pressure of that terrifying bloodline made it nigh impossible for them to activate their own bloodlines.


    Zhao Feng and the Sky Feather Island Lord had been gone for some time, so True God Guisha had rallied a few of the True Gods for a counterattack. In the end, some of the True Gods agreed to fight against the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Wan.


    "Sword of Piercing Metal, Ice Spear, Earth Hammer¡­" Zhao Wang was using the Eye of Myriad Forms to harness the power of nature and launch attacks from every location.


    "A descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes ¨C the Eye of Myriad Forms!" The True Gods taking part in this counterattack bitterly cried out in shock and frustration.


    They finally realized that they had underestimated Zhao Feng. These two allies of Zhao Feng''s possessed abnormal strength and incredible bloodlines.


    "Flee!" True God Guisha saw that his side was faring poorly and decided to abandon these True Gods and flee on his own.


    But then, he noticed a spatial ripple next to him.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng suddenly stepped out of the void.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated Five Elements Divine Power and fired off a palm of five-colored lightning.


    Brrrooom!


    The palm of crackling lightning was like an enormous mountain of electricity slamming down on True God Guisha.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    True God Guisha''s body seethed with lightning as he was blown away and smashed into the ground.


    Hisss!


    The remaining True Gods were frozen in fear, their souls trembling. A single blow had heavily wounded True God Guisha, and this strength came purely from Zhao Feng! Moreover, Zhao Feng''s return meant that things had gone very poorly for the Sky Feather Island Lord!


    "Master, you''ve returned!" the massive pitch-black serpent dragon respectfully called out.


    "Master¡­!?" The True Gods felt their bodies and souls shiver. They were under the impression that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was one of Zhao Feng''s friends. They never imagined that it was Zhao Feng''s slave.


    "Kill all who resisted!" Zhao Feng declared in a chilling tone.


    "Yes!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Wan set to work.


    "Ah¡­!"


    The endless screams shook one''s soul to the core. In the end, even True God Guisha was slain before the True Gods.


    "Senior Zhao, spare me!"


    "We were forced into surrounding you in this place!"


    The surviving True Gods immediately began to beg for mercy.


    "As of now, I am the Lord of Sky Feather Island!" Zhao Feng gazed at the nine surviving Rank One True Gods and declared.


    "Yes, yes!"


    The True Gods were quick to agree. In their minds, they began to wonder ¨C had the Sky Feather Island Lord really been killed by Zhao Feng?


    "Zhao¡­ Senior!" True God Sky Fire excitedly called out. True God Sky Fire had never been so excited before. Recruiting Zhao Feng might have been the best decision he ever made in his life.


    "Take back the things that belong to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race," Zhao Feng said to True God Sky Fire.


    Although True God Sky Fire was also part of the group surrounding Zhao Feng, he had never once actually attacked Zhao Feng.


    "Yes!" True God Sky Fire had a look of surprise on his face.


    The remaining True Gods appeared to remember something. In the fight for the ownership of the Exchange Spiritual Hall, it was clearly the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s representative, Zhao Feng, who was victorious. However, the Sky Feather Island Lord''s people had interfered, resulting in Zhao Feng being hunted down. As a result, the Exchange Spiritual Hall came to be owned by the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.

 1211 Departure

    Chapter 1211 - Departure


    On Sky Feather Island, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race acted tyrannically, rapidly developing and realizing their thriving ambitions. The other factions were all rather concerned by this. Now, Zhao Feng had both removed the Sky Feather Island Lord''s faction and decided to deal with the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.


    The True God were all rather happy to hear this. The strongest faction in Sky Feather Island had been destroyed, and soon, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race would not be faring much better. In this situation, the other factions would be able to obtain more resources.


    "True God Sky Fire, let''s go," Zhao Feng indifferently said. He used his power to sweep up True God Sky Fire and immediately left.


    The other True God experts also dispersed. Almost half of Sky Feather Island''s True Gods had died in this battle, and those remaining were extremely fortunate to have survived. Besides, none of them were so free as to inform the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race of what was about to happen. They would not be able to endure the consequences of incurring Zhao Feng''s displeasure if they did.


    Later that day, Zhao Feng and True God Sky Fire paid a visit to the Exchange Spiritual Hall under the control of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.


    "All members of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, get out here!" Zhao Feng stood in the sky and roared.


    Brrrooom!


    The entire Exchange Spiritual Hall rumbled and shook. The Protection Array of the Exchange Spiritual Hall flickered and blinked, as if it was on the verge of collapse.


    The guards of the Exchange Spiritual Hall sensed Zhao Feng''s power and did not dare to act rashly. But in their view, if Zhao Feng acted brashly around this Exchange Spiritual Hall, the experts of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race would not let him go.


    Hwoooo!


    Several streams of energy rose out of the Exchange Spiritual Hall as five experts flew out.


    "True God Sky Fire, I didn''t think you were so bold as to make trouble around the Exchange Spiritual Hall. Do you still think that it was your Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race that won the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall?" The Demigod elder leading the group of five sneered.


    Zhao Feng and True God Sky Fire hadn''t even entered the Exchange Spiritual Hall yet, but the people of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf race were already issuing accusations. This way, they would have much more of an excuse to attack.


    "It''s¡­ Zhao Feng!" One of the elders of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was staring at Zhao Feng, his entire body trembling in fear as he cried out in alarm. This elder was the one who had appraised and auctioned off items for Zhao Feng. Later on, he dispatched experts of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race to chase after and assassinate Zhao Feng.


    "Grand Elder, he''s¡­ Zhao Feng!" Two other Demigods recognized Zhao Feng and cried out in fear as well. They had been observers to the fight for the Exchange Spiritual Hall. He had first defeated Gu Lan and then defeated the Sky Feather Island Lord''s disciple, Xi Feng. These scenes had been engraved upon the hearts of these two Demigods.


    Even later, they even heard news that Zhao Feng had killed True God Guili! In short, Zhao Feng''s strength was unfathomable. Five Demigods like them were simply no match for him.


    "Zhao Feng!"


    The name Zhao Feng quickly spread through the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    Although Zhao Feng had offended the Sky Feather Island Lord, he was still the talk of the entire island. He had easily defeated Xi Feng and even killed True God Guili. Zhao Feng could be considered the strongest Quasi-God genius of Sky Feather Island.


    "Zhao Feng!" The grand elder of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had an expression of shock, and he somewhat regretted his words.


    He had been in seclusion all this time and had no idea what was going on in the outside world. After emerging from his seclusion, he only heard a few rumors about Zhao Feng.


    Moreover, hadn''t the True God expert of his race said that Zhao Feng was being imprisoned in the Sky Feather Island Lord''s territory? Nearly twenty True Gods had gathered, laying down a lethal array presided over by the Sky Feather Island Lord. Even a Rank Four True God would be doomed. How did Zhao Feng appear here now?


    "I''ve come here precisely to make trouble. I believe that, in the competition for the Exchange Spiritual Hall, I should have been the winner. Thus, this Exchange Spiritual Hall belongs to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race!" Zhao Feng answered the question of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race''s grand elder.


    But now, none of the five Demigods of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race dared to say a word or even directly meet Zhao Feng''s gaze.


    "You should be killed!" Zhao Feng focused his gaze on one of them. This elder was the one who had appraised and auctioned off items for Zhao Feng.


    "Senior Zhao¡­ spare me!" The elder immediately got down on his knees.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent condensed into a terrifying lightning python that rumbled toward the elder.


    Brrrooom!


    The other four Demigods felt like they were experiencing a Lightning Tribulation hell. Lightning was crackling all around them, and none of them dared to even move a muscle.


    "Ah¡­!" the elder screamed as his soul was extinguished, and his body dropped to the ground.


    Hisss!


    The Exchange Spiritual Hall fell silent. With just a glance, a Demigod was instantly slayed. Just how strong was Zhao Feng?


    The four remaining Demigods were scared out of their wits. If Zhao Feng targeted them, they would probably end up just like their colleague.


    "Senior Zhao, please calm your anger. We cannot make a decision on this point. Please permit us to report this to the patriarch!" the grand elder said in a trembling voice.


    The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had two True Gods. One was a Rank One True God who had already been slain in the territory of the Sky Feather Island Lord. The other one was the patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, a Rank Two True God.


    "Have him hurry and come out!" Zhao Feng coldly proclaimed.


    "Yes!" The grand elder shakily nodded. This matter no longer had anything to do with them. They could only leave it to the patriarch.


    "True God Sky Fire, let''s go in first," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race''s base was some distance away from this Exchange Spiritual Hall. Zhao Feng naturally wouldn''t just wait around outside.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Zhao Feng and True God Sky Fire entered Saint Pearl Tower.


    In a flash, all the experts eating there got up and left. After all, Zhao Feng had killed a Demigod with a single glance, which meant that he could kill piles of ordinary Mystic Light Realm experts like them just as easily.


    Zhao Feng and True God Sky Fire were now the only two people left in Saint Pearl Tower.


    "Guests, what would you like to order¡­?" A waiter nervously came up to Zhao Feng''s table.


    "Serve several of your best delicacies, and bring a jar of Heavenly Spring Pearl Wine," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said. He had come here to eat, so he naturally had to enjoy the best there was to offer.


    "Okay! Please wait a moment!" The waiter immediately left.


    It didn''t take long before the wine and food were served.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat smelled the aroma and immediately popped out. After all, there was even fine alcohol this time.


    "Zhao Feng, thank you for everything you have done for the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race!" True God Sky Fire quickly said.


    The True Gods who were at the Sky Feather Island Lord''s territory knew Zhao Feng''s true power, but now, Zhao Feng was helping the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race take care of a trivial matter like this.


    "It''s nothing," Zhao Feng said nothing more and began to enjoy the delicacies arrayed before him.


    Several days later, the patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race arrived in an anxious panic.


    "Patriarch!" The grand elder of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had a twinkle in his eyes.


    Zhao Feng and the Sky Feather Island Lord had a feud, so the Sky Feather Island Lord definitely wouldn''t let Zhao Feng go. The grand elder was confident that the patriarch had gotten in touch with the Sky Feather Island Lord''s people before coming.


    He had no idea that Zhao Feng had already killed the Sky Feather Island Lord!


    None of the experts in the Exchange Spiritual Hall had left, as all of them were waiting around to see the show. However, things didn''t go how they expected.


    The first thing the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race''s patriarch did upon entering Saint Pearl Tower was get down on both knees.


    Thud!


    A Rank Two True God immediately kneeled before Zhao Feng.


    "Senior Zhao, the matter back then was the error of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race. My race is willing to hand over the Exchange Spiritual Hall and become Senior Zhao''s vassal, serving Senior Zhao for the rest of time!" the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf patriarch implored.


    The moment he received the grand elder''s message, he tried to get in touch with the Sky Feather Island Lord, but all his attempts failed. In the end, he found out from the True Gods of other factions that Zhao Feng had obliterated the Sky Feather Island Lord''s entire faction.


    "This¡­ what''s going on?" The spectating crowd in the Exchange Spiritual Hall was dumbfounded.


    The Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was one of the five strongest four-star factions of Sky Feather Island. But now, the race''s Rank Two True God patriarch was kneeling before Zhao Feng and admitting his wrongs!


    "I certainly don''t need people like you at my side!" Zhao Feng icily replied.


    When Zhao Feng won fair and square over Gu Lan, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Patriarch accused Zhao Feng of using despicable tricks and even bribed True God Guili into dealing with Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    With a wave of Zhao Feng''s sleeve, Zhao Wang appeared.


    "Black Hole of Death!" Zhao Wang used the Eye of Death together with the Staff of Death Curse to shoot out a cloud of black mist.


    Before the black mist even fully descended, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Patriarch seemed to realize that he was going to die.


    Hwooom!


    The black mist formed into the Black Hole of Death and began to suck away at the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Patriarch''s body.


    "Ah¡­!" His level of strength was simply incapable of resisting the combined power of the Eye of Death and the Staff of Death Curse. In just a few moments, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Patriarch was naught but a pile of dust.


    The Exchange Spiritual Hall was eerily quiet, everyone frozen to the ground in disbelief at what they just witnessed. The Rank Two True God patriarch of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race was instantly annihilated without the slightest resistance!


    "Spare me¡­!" The members of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race all kneeled down to the floor, their bodies shivering and trembling.


    "Your patriarch is dead. I will no longer pursue this grudge," Zhao Feng apathetically said.


    Zhao Feng would soon leave Sky Feather Island. He could not guarantee that the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race would attack the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race once he was gone. Thus, Zhao Feng needed to weaken the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race.


    He could either slay most of the higher-level experts of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, or he could just kill their patriarch. In order to avoid a massacre, Zhao Feng chose to kill only one person!


    Swish!


    With this task done, Zhao Feng took Zhao Wang and left.


    After his departure, the news that he had killed the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Patriarch began to rapidly spread. In just ten days, it was known throughout all of Sky Feather Island.


    Not long after, a piece of even more explosive news began to spread; Zhao Feng had uprooted and removed the Sky Feather Island Lord''s faction.


    If not for the first piece of news, people might have doubted this one. However, the fact that Zhao Feng continued to live safe and unhindered on Sky Feather Island was proof enough that the Sky Feather Island Lord''s faction had already been destroyed by Zhao Feng.


    From this point, Zhao Feng was the strongest expert on Sky Feather Island.


    Afterward, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race moved into the Sky Feather Island Lord''s former territory and began to settle in. After all, there was a low-quality God Crystal vein beneath the territory of the Sky Feather Island Lord.


    A single crystal vein was enough to alter the future of an entire race.


    "I''m leaving!" Zhao Feng stood on the Teleportation Array, his figure slowly disappearing.


    The upper echelon of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race stood around the platform, as well as the Green Jade Sheep Race.


    "Big Brother Zhao Feng, you have to come back and visit us!" the Young Master of the Green Jade Sheep Race, Liu Yun, excitedly called out.


    Yu Lin''er patted Liu Yun on the head, her eyes misting up as she watched Zhao Feng leave with mixed feeling in her heart.


    Swish!


    In the next moment, Zhao Feng''s body completely disappeared from the ancient Teleportation Array.

 1212 Difficulties on the Road

    Chapter 1212 - Difficulties on the Road


    Blue Ocean Bay was a region under the control of the Golden Jade Race. The bay was home to nearly ten islands of various sizes, with Sky Feather Island being one of them.


    On this day, the teleportation array belonging to a four-star faction of Blue Ocean Bay suddenly began to flash with white light. As the light faded, a golden-haired man appeared.


    This ancient teleportation array had two green-armored guardians with Demigod levels of cultivation. They were not merely guardians though; they also understood the art of arrays and were responsible for activating the array.


    "Show your identification!" One of the green-armored guards glanced at Zhao Feng and barked.


    "I''m a subordinate of the Sky Feather Island Lord!" Zhao Feng said.


    Blue Ocean Bay was the territory of the Golden Jade Race, and Zhao Feng had killed Xi Feng, offended Quasi-God Di Lin, and also fought and killed True Gods of the Golden Jade Race. Moreover, when the transparent palace''s treasures appeared, Zhao Feng ordered the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s group to steal treasures from the hands of the Golden Jade Race.


    One could say that the Golden Jade Race now hated Zhao Feng to the bone. The Golden Jade Race would probably never imagine that Zhao Feng was now within their territory.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out a golden token.


    Zhao Feng had obtained this token from the Interspatial Dimension belonging to the three Sky Feather Island Lord brothers. This token represented Sky Feather Island and could be used throughout Blue Ocean Bay.


    After showing his identity, Zhao Feng prepared to leave.


    "Halt! You are currently at the Iron Ghost Gate of Azure Vault Island. A fee of twenty low-quality God Crystals is required to leave!" The green-armored guard stopped Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was slightly surprised.


    A price of twenty low-quality God Crystals was neither too cheap nor too expensive for a Demigod. But if it was a late-stage Mystic Light Realm cultivator being teleported, they would never be able to pay twenty low-quality God Crystals.


    Thus, Zhao Feng conjectured that there simply was no such rule. These people were using their strength and the backing of their faction to bully the weak. The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was rife with this sort of bullying and profiteering.


    "Scram!" Zhao Feng harrumphed as he exuded an astonishing power of lightning.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Zhao Feng''s surroundings became a domain of five-colored lightning suffused with the intimidating power of Sacred Lightning.


    Thump!


    In an instant, the two green-armored guards were forced to kneel on the ground.


    Of course, Zhao Feng didn''t overdo it. He only wanted to intimidate this pair.


    "Good Sir, please calm your anger. We have eyes but were blind. The Iron Ghost Gate does not have this rule!" the two green-armored guards immediately confessed.


    In that brief moment, they could tell that Zhao Feng''s strength was at least that of a Rank One Quasi-God. A Rank One Quasi-God was a Quasi-God with the strength of a Rank One True God.


    But being a Quasi-God could also be considered a symbol of honor, and a Rank One Quasi-God had a far higher status than a Rank One True God. Moreover, the higher ranked the Quasi-God, the more glorious and dazzling they were.


    For example, Quasi-God Heaven Swallower of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land was a Rank Four Quasi-God. He could directly enter the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land as a Rank Four True God, and the lowest level he would be able to reach in the future would be a Rank Nine Ancient God. On the other hand, some Rank Four True Gods wouldn''t even be able to reach the ranks of Ancient God at all.


    Zhao Feng removed his pressure and left.


    The Golden Jade Race doesn''t know that I''m in Blue Ocean Bay, so the inspection wasn''t too strict! Zhao Feng thought to himself.


    If the Golden Jade Race knew that Zhao Feng was in the area around Blue Ocean Bay, it would have definitely issue a wanted notice. If that was the case, the moment Zhao Feng appeared in this place, he would already be surrounded by the faction in this area.


    However, the Golden Jade Race was not the only one that wanted to kill Zhao Feng. The factions of the Gulong Zone, Yangling Zone, and Tianyun Zone had entered the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, and Zhao Feng had run into quite a few factions from the Gulong Zone.


    "As long as I can get out of the Gulong Zone, I''ll be safe!"


    Although this was true, the Gulong Zone was absolutely enormous. There were at least thirty four-and-a-half-star powers that controlled regions like Blue Ocean Bay in the Gulong Zone. From this, one could easily imagine just how tiny Sky Feather Island was.


    "A four-star faction like the Sky Feather Island Lord''s had control of a small-scale teleportation array. A four-and-a-half-star faction should control a large-scale teleportation array that can travel a little farther¡­" Zhao Feng gathered all this information before leaving.


    This meant that, if Zhao Feng had safety in mind, he could use the small-scale teleportation arrays of four-star factions. But if he wanted to leave the Gulong Zone as quickly as possible, he needed to use the large-scale teleportation arrays of four-and-a-half-star factions, or even five-star factions. He would save five times as much time, perhaps even more.


    On one hand, Zhao Feng had offended far too many factions and needed to be cautious. On the other hand, Zhao Feng didn''t have the identity to use these teleportation arrays in the first place.


    Just like now; even though Zhao Feng had only teleported from Sky Feather Island to another large island, the guards of the array required him to show his identity. Otherwise, it would have not been so easy for Zhao Feng to leave.


    "I''ll think about it once I leave Blue Ocean Bay."


    The Sky Feather Island token could only be used in Blue Ocean Bay, so Zhao Feng would think about this problem once he left this region.


    Ten-some days later, Zhao Feng stood in a teleportation array within an ancient tower.


    "I''m about to leave Blue Ocean Bay," Zhao Feng muttered.


    Once he used this teleportation array, Zhao Feng would be beyond the territory of the factions of Blue Ocean Bay.


    At this moment, a teleportation array next to Zhao Feng flashed with white light.


    Swish!


    Three figures emerged within it. Two were silk-clothed youths and one was a golden-robed elder.


    "It''s you!" One of the youths looked at Zhao Feng in extreme shock. A moment later, shock morphed into rage, and the youth''s eyes began to seethe with killing intent.


    This person was Quasi-God Di Lin.


    Of course, Zhao Feng was also dazed for a moment. He never imagined that he would run into Quasi-God Di Lin just as he was about to leave Blue Ocean Bay.


    However, by the time Quasi-God Di Lin came around, Zhao Feng had already been teleported away.


    "Quasi-God Di Lin, what''s wrong?" the other youth, who had a sharply outlined face and healthy complexion, asked.


    "That person just now was someone who kept targeting the Golden Jade Race in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, even stealing our resources!" Quasi-God Zhao Feng explained Zhao Feng''s crimes.


    In the end, the Golden Jade Race''s harvest from the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension was unsatisfactory compared to the other factions. True God Tianhua had even personally reproached him over this matter.


    The Golden Jade Race only decided to attack Zhao Feng due to Quasi-God Di Lin''s prodding, but they ended up losing two Rank Three True Gods. Later on, Zhao Feng''s small group especially targeted the Golden Jade Race.


    "After him! We can''t let him go!" Quasi-God Di Lin immediately said.


    The three of them stepped onto the teleportation array that Zhao Feng just used to leave.


    "Just who is this person? Why was he in the territory of our Golden Jade Race?" the healthy-looking youth asked in confusion.


    Based on what Quasi-God Di Lin said, Zhao Feng was an enemy of the entire Golden Jade Race. Wasn''t it strange for this sort of person to appear in the territory of the Golden Jade Race? One had to realize that, in all of Blue Ocean Bay, only the Golden Jade Race was capable of connecting to the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension.


    "This¡­" Quasi-God Di Lin''s expression froze.


    Why had Zhao Feng appeared in the territory of the Golden Jade Race? His mind was in complete disorder when he saw Zhao Feng, so he had completely missed this point.


    "We''ll know once we capture him. In addition, he''s got many treasures on his person. And with the strength of True God Earthsea, we can easily seize him!" Quasi-God Di Lin turned to the elder as he spoke.


    "Oh?" The elder hadn''t cared very much, as the opponent was just a mere Quasi-God. But Quasi-God Di Lin''s words very clear ¨C only if he joined in could they capture that boy. True God Earthsea was somewhat astonished to hear this.


    "Hurry and activate the teleportation array!" Quasi-God Di Lin hollered at a nearby guard.


    "Yes, yes!" The guard immediately inserted a few low-quality God Crystals and began to activate the array. The three before him were members of the Golden Jade Race, rulers of Blue Ocean Bay, so he did not dare to show any sign of neglect.


    Swish!


    The three members of the Golden Jade Race were teleported away in pursuit of Zhao Feng.


    The trio appeared at another ancient teleportation array. The three immediately flew into the sky, but they could see no sign of Zhao Feng.


    "He runs rather fast!" Quasi-God Di Lin coldly snorted.


    "Which way did the golden-haired man who just appeared here go?" Quasi-God Di Lin asked the guard next to the array.


    "The east."


    The moment the guard spoke, True God Earthsea and the two youths shot toward the horizon in a ray dark golden light.


    After flying some distance, True God Earthsea stopped.


    "I don''t sense any ripples of power. The direction doesn''t seem to be right!" True God Earthsea''s brow slightly creased.


    If Zhao Feng was fleeing, he would definitely be using some powerful flight technique. This technique was certain to leave traces of energy in the air. However, True God Earthsea had not noticed anything unusual as they flew.


    But that guard would definitely not have deceived them.


    "I can''t believe we let him escape!" Quasi-God Di Lin clenched his fists and yelled in frustration.


    "We should continue on our way. We didn''t come out to play!" the Rank Five True God said to Quasi-God Di Lin and the other youth.


    "Mm!" The two youths nodded, their expressions slightly shifting. They had come out this time for a mission.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The trio soon took their leave.


    Long after they were gone, a heavy spatial blur appeared in the area.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng slowly emerged from the void.


    "I can''t believe I ran into Quasi-God Di Lin!" Zhao Feng sighed.


    To run into Quasi-God Di Lin of all people just as he was about to leave the territory of the Golden Jade Race, his luck was truly awful. If he didn''t know Instant Movement and had the power of the Spacetime Robe, he really might have ended up being captured by the Golden Jade Race.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng placed the Spacetime Robe into his Interspatial Dimension.


    The quality of the Spacetime Robe was comparable to the Staff of Death Curse. Both of them were supreme-quality divine weapons, and if they were flaunted in the outside world, he might bring yet another disaster on his head.


    "I can only change directions!" Zhao Feng decided to alter his route.


    After flying for several months, Zhao Feng arrived at an area occupied by a four-star power.


    "Without sufficient strength, it''s truly hard to advance even a single step!" Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had once told him that, if he wanted to search for Zhao Yufei, he would need at least one thousand years. Now, Zhao Feng completely believed these words. Even at his current level of strength, Zhao Feng found it extremely difficult to cross zones, so one didn''t even need to mention him when he was only a late-stage Mystic Light Realm expert.


    Using this four-star faction''s teleportation array, Zhao Feng continued on his journey.


    One day, Zhao Feng appeared in an ancient golden tower. The moment he appeared, Zhao Feng sensed heaven-shaking ripples of Intent.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Terrifying explosions rang out in Zhao Feng''s ear. In the distance, he could see that the horizon was awash with ice, lightning, wind, and fire.


    "This is¡­ a faction war?" Zhao Feng guessed.


    The faction wars in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were different from those of the Continent Zone. Even though the battle was millions of li away, he could still feel the dreadful battle taking place.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A small group of soldiers equipped with brown armor charged toward the faction that Zhao Feng had just appeared in.


    "Kill everyone here!" the captain of this group ordered.

 1213 Eye of Life

    Chapter 1213 - Eye of Life


    "Kill everyone here!" the captain of the small group of soldiers callously ordered.


    There were six men in this team. The captain was a Rank Three True God while the rest were Rank One True Gods.


    Zhao Feng scanned the faction that he had been teleported to. At this time, there were only a few Rank One True Gods and a small number of Demigod experts. In addition, there were also the old, weak, and infirm that were below the Mystic Light Realm.


    It seems like this isn''t an ordinary war between four-star factions. It should be a war between four-and-a-half-star factions! Zhao Feng conjectured to himself.


    In a battle between four-star factions, a small team would never contain so many True God experts. Moreover, the scale of the battle on the horizon was causing the heavens to shudder and the earth to quake. Twenty to thirty powerful True Gods were probably taking part in that battle.


    If it''s a four-and-a-half-star faction, this place must be the territory of Spirit Grass Gate!


    After killing the three Sky Feather Island Lord brothers, Zhao Feng obtained a new map that gave him some understanding of the factions bordering Blue Ocean Bay.


    Since this was a war between four-and-a-half-star factions, the four-star factions administrated by those four-and-a-half-star factions naturally had to take part as well. The four-star faction that Zhao Feng had teleported to was probably one of the participants on the battlefield, and its experts had probably been sent to the front.


    Swish!


    An ancient bronze compass appeared in the hand of the group''s captain. The captain slapped the compass, causing a transparent curtain of yellow light to soar into the sky. Upon reaching a certain altitude, the yellow curtain of light scattered, eventually forming a faint yellow barrier that completely enveloped the faction.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Afterward, the group charged into the faction and commenced the slaughter.


    "Charge! Kill these scoundrels!" The remaining fighters left in the faction immediately charged out, all of them fearless in the face of death.


    However, they were simply no match for this group. By charging forward, they were merely sending themselves to their deaths.


    "Haaa, the strong eat the weak!" Zhao Feng sighed as he silently drew back.


    This matter had nothing to with him, nor was it something that he could worry about. This was a battle between four-and-a-half-star factions, and there might even be an Ancient God presiding over this battle.


    "Eh? There''s still a Demigod over there!" A Rank One True God in the group gave an excited laugh and rushed at Zhao Feng.


    In this war, kill count determined one''s rewards. To a Rank One True God, Demigods were the finest prey.


    "I''m just a person who happened to use the teleportation array to come here. I''m not a part of this faction," Zhao Feng looked at the Rank One True God and immediately explained.


    "Heheh, don''t even think about trying to fool me. You''re a member of Spirit Grass Gate!" The Rank True God paused for a moment before giving a wicked smile.


    Zhao Feng truly had come out of the nearby teleportation array just now, and the traits of his body and aura indicated that he did not belong to this faction. But he was just a Demigod. Killing him would still allow this Rank One True God to add to his kill count.


    This Demigod could only be blamed for his poor luck in not inquiring on the situation and teleporting into the territory of Spirit Grass Gate.


    "Kill!" The Rank One True God swung his halberd at Zhao Feng.


    Rooooar!


    An enormous dark yellow dragon blocked out the sun as it charged at Zhao Feng.


    "Outrageous!" Zhao Feng''s face turned cold.


    Even if there was a chance that he belonged to Spirit Grass Gate, this True God should have at least checked his identity first. But this person clearly didn''t care about which faction Zhao Feng belonged to and decided to kill first.


    The enormous dragon seemed on the verge of swallowing Zhao Feng whole. However, Zhao Feng extended a palm and lightly clenched it.


    Brrrooom!


    Five Elements Intent fused with the world, combining with Zhao Feng''s Intent to create an incredibly mighty power. In an instant, the entire world seemed to be standing on Zhao Feng''s side, its immense power condensing into a tangible and enormous palm consisting of five colors that grasped the image of the yellow dragon.


    Bang!


    Zhao Feng exploded the yellow dragon into pieces.


    "What¡­?" The Rank One True God was frozen to the spot in stupefaction. His attack had been easily destroyed by his opponent.


    A Quasi-God ¨C a Rank Two Quasi-God! How else could he be this strong!? A Rank Two Quasi-God in a four-and-a-half-star faction would be considered a peerless genius!


    "I said before, I''m just passing through!" Zhao Feng icily said to the Rank One True God.


    Zhao Feng turned to leave.


    "Stop!" somebody roared at Zhao Feng.


    A brown-armored figure rushed toward Zhao Feng with astonishing strength.


    "What''s the meaning of this?" Zhao Feng stared at this man, the Rank Three True God who was leading the team of invading True Gods.


    "I''ve never seen you amongst the Rank Two Quasi-Gods of any of the surrounding factions!" The Rank Three True God stared at Zhao Feng with a sharp and keen gaze.


    He had never seen a Rank Two Quasi-God like Zhao Feng in Spirit Grass Gate, nor in the other nearby four-and-a-half-star factions.


    "The world is unimaginably vast. There is always a stronger man, always a taller mountain," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    "Hmph, come back with me. If you''re not a member of Spirit Grass Gate, Yellow Dragon Pavilion will let you leave!" the Rank Three True God coldly barked.


    Zhao Feng''s expression sank. He was not in a situation where his identity could survive close inspection. Moreover, Zhao Feng was confident that, as long as he was determined to not be a member of a four-and-a-half-star faction, he would not be so easily let go.


    "Follow me!" Seeing that Zhao Feng did not answer, the Rank Three True God attacked.


    Boom!


    Yellow scales emerged over his entire body as he called upon Earth energy to tower over Zhao Feng like a lofty mountain. This dreadful pressure caused the nearby Rank One True God to vomit blood and rapidly back up.


    "Since you want to fight, let''s fight!" Zhao Feng lost his patience.


    This small team only had one Rank Three True God, so it couldn''t do a thing to him. Zhao Feng was just afraid that, by offending this faction, he would once more end up being sidetracked.


    But even if he didn''t offend them, these two factions were in the middle of a war, so Zhao Feng would find it very difficult to use their teleportation arrays anyway.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body instantly grew taller as five-colored lightning began to crackle around him.


    They were both using body-strengthening techniques, but when Zhao Feng used his, the energy of the world instantly began to gather around him. This was because Zhao Feng''s Five Elements Divine Power contained Five Elements Intent, allowing him to naturally harmonize with the heavens and earth.


    "Die!" The Rank Three True God saw that Zhao Feng was also a body-strengthening expert ¨C one who seemed to be on an even higher level than he was ¨C and he instantly grimaced.


    "Yellow Dragon Battles the Heavens!" The Rank Three True God punched out with both hands, creating an earthen yellow dragon of enormous size and savage expression, seeming almost tangible.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated his Five Elements Divine Power and swatted out with one of his hands, firing out a mountain of five-colored lightning at his opponent.


    Brrrooom!


    This mountain of five-colored lightning was bursting with destructive power. It blasted through the yellow dragon and struck the Rank Three True God right in his chest.


    Thump!


    The Rank Three True God took half a step back, disbelief on his face.


    How could this be!? the Rank Three True God mentally called out in alarm.


    Although he had not attacked with all his power, he found it impossible to believe that a Rank Two Quasi-God could so easily destroy his technique. Could he be a Rank Three Quasi-God? Rank Three Quasi-Gods were peerless geniuses that only peak four-star powers could possess. How could one appear here? In addition, if this person was a Rank Three Quasi-God, he truly could not belong to Spirit Grass Gate.


    "Good Sir, I meant no offense. You truly are not a member of Spirit Grass Gate. Please forgive this one''s poor eyesight!" The Rank Three True God immediately apologized to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng might be backed by a peak four-star faction, or perhaps something even stronger. On the other hand, he only had Yellow Dragon Pavilion behind him, a somewhat strong four-and-a-half-star faction that was still very far away from becoming a peak four-star faction.


    "Eh? This is¡­?" The Rank Three True God suddenly focused his gaze on the ground.


    In that fierce clash between himself and Zhao Feng, a part of the ground had been flattened. A hardy stone slab had been revealed, the runes of an array visible upon it.


    "Haha, so you were hiding here!" The Rank Three True God stared at the ground as he took out a message token and transmitted a message.


    "Good Sir, I mistakenly accused you. In the future, the Yellow Dragon Pavilion will definitely pay you a visit to apologize. At present, my Yellow Dragon Pavilion is at war with Spirit Grass Gate. If Good Sir has no other concerns, you should leave as quickly as possible and not approach this war zone!" the Rank Three True God smiled at Zhao Feng and said.


    If he hadn''t inadvertently discovered his target through his fight with Zhao Feng, he would have missed this rare opportunity.


    It was obvious that a secret room was hidden underground. An illusion array had been set up around the secret room, preventing Divine Sense and ordinary tools from discovering it. If he captured the target, he would receive a large reward.


    "Haaa¡­" An elderly voice sighed from deep underground.


    Following this sigh, two figures soared into the sky, exuding such an enormous power that even Zhao Feng was a little taken aback.


    One of them was a man dressed in a dark green robe, the tremendous aura around him indicating that he was a Rank Four True God.


    Next to him was a woman dressed in green, her hair a silky black and her skin white and tender. She had a pair of bluish-green eyes that were nimble and bursting with vitality. From a distance, this girl was surrounded by the exuberant vitality of nature, as if she was a princess of the forest.


    The girl suddenly turned to Zhao Feng, a sorrowful look in her eyes.


    Zhao Feng was slightly stunned. This woman''s face was a natural work of pristine beauty, yet it also seemed to banish any profane thought from those who looked upon it. In particular, when Zhao Feng looked into her eyes, he instantly felt at peace.


    "Hmph!" The green-robed elder shot a glance at Zhao Feng, his eyes layered with icy chilling intent. If Zhao Feng hadn''t come out of nowhere and fought with the Rank Three True God, they might have been able to avoid being discovered and found an opportunity to escape.


    Zhao Feng seemed to understand something. This small team had been so harsh and unwilling to let him go because they had an important objective. He had even apparently helped them out by exposing the location of this objective.


    "Senior, please do not take offense. This junior did not do this intentionally¡­." Zhao Feng apologized. This was all a complete accident.


    "Ning''er, let''s go!" Although the elder resented Zhao Feng, he did not attack him. Instead, he immediately took the girl and began to flee.


    But at this moment, an enormous pressure exploded out from the distant horizon.


    Brrrooom!


    A thick yellow cloud approached, casting the entire world into gloom and exerting an inexplicable pressure and unease.


    "Haha, just where do you plan on running!?" An old man with dark yellow skin was standing upon this cloud, a tail growing from his back.


    "True God Zhongtu!" The green-robed elder grimaced at the arrival of this True God expert.


    True God Zhongtu was a Rank Five True God of Yellow Dragon Pavilion.


    "You''ve got nowhere left to run, Eye of Life!" True God Zhongtu looked straight at the woman in green.

 1214 Entrusted

    Chapter 1214 - Entrusted


    "The Eye of Life!?" Zhao Feng turned toward the woman in shock.


    Floating in the air, she gave off a transcendent aura of unstained divinity. Even though the sky was overcast and seething with killing intent, the area around her remained an island of vitality and tranquility.


    She was actually a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes ¨C the God Eye of Life!


    Of the Eight Great God Eyes, the Eye of Life was one of the weaker ones when it came to combat. However, it was rumored that, as long as one''s soul was not destroyed, any wound or illness afflicting one''s body could be easily healed by the Eye of Life.


    The various large factions of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods would often fight with each other. If any one of these factions had a descendant of the Eye of Life assisting them from the rear, their members would be nigh-immortal, and their overall fighting power would increase many times over.


    For this reason, the inheritors of the Eye of Life were even more useful to these large factions than the inheritors of the more powerful God Eyes.


    "I just knew that Han Ning''er hadn''t left the territory of Spirit Grass Gate yet!" True God Zhongtu looked at Han Ning''er, then looked up to the sky and laughed.


    In the war between Spirit Grass Gate and Yellow Dragon Pavilion, Spirit Grass Gate had begun to secretly spread out its bloodline descendants. One of the reasons was to divide the forces of Yellow Dragon Pavilion, but the other was to conceal Han Ning''er. As long as Han Ning''er could be successfully sent away, Spirit Grass Gate would rise again.


    But Yellow Dragon Pavilion knew that Spirit Grass Gate would not risk putting Han Ning''er in danger and must have hidden her somewhere within its territory, waiting for the right moment to secretly send her away. For this reason, Yellow Dragon Pavilion had been scouring the territory of Spirit Grass Gate for any signs of her.


    The green-robed elder glanced at Han Ning''er, his eyes half-closed in thought.


    "Elder, there''s nothing else to be done!" Han Ning''er spoke in a light and pleasant voice. Her expression was apathetic, as if she had no fear of death.


    "What? You still want to resist?" True God Zhongtu looked at the green-robed elder and Han Ning''er with a playful smile on his face.


    "Han Ning''er, at this point, this old man can only hand you over!" The green-robed elder''s eyes suddenly flew open, an invisible Intent completely paralyzing Han Ning''er.


    In this situation, Han Ning''er only calmly stared at the green-robed elder with her bluish-green eyes, voicing no objection.


    "Haha, a wise man knows when to submit to fate. If you''re willing to hand over Han Ning''er and come under the wing of Yellow Dragon Pavilion, the pavilion master won''t treat you poorly!" True God Zhongtu roared in laughter.


    At this moment, a voice rang out in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Young man, help me send Ning''er to the Ziling Zone. With Ning''er''s Eye of Life, she can definitely join a five-star faction, perhaps even a God Realm Sacred Land. At that point, you will also stand to benefit greatly!" the green-robed elder messaged Zhao Feng while his face remained emotionless.


    "Senior regards me too highly!" Zhao Feng messaged back.


    The green-robed elder was trying to use the allure of a five-star faction or God Realm Sacred Land to tempt Zhao Feng into helping him out. If Zhao Feng succeeded, he would supposedly develop a relationship with a five-star faction or God Realm Sacred Land, something that most people could only dream of.


    But even if Han Ning''er had the Eye of Life, God Realm Sacred Lands were not some existence Zhao Feng could interact with as he pleased.


    "Your talent isn''t bad. You should be the disciple of some major faction. If Ning''er is willing, you can become partners. You only stand to gain from this!" the elder continued.


    He had seen that Zhao Feng''s strength was truly abnormal.


    Crucially, in this situation, Zhao Feng was the only person the elder could entrust his hopes to. He was even using Han Ning''er herself as a sort of bargaining chip. Any other man would have been so struck by Han Ning''er''s beauty and temperament that they would have immediately agreed, swearing to protect this "Goddess of Life" for the rest of their life. It would be even better if Zhao Feng was a genius of some major faction; if Zhao Feng married Han Ning''er, Spirit Grass Gate might even be saved.


    Alas, Zhao Feng was not!


    "Senior, you regard me too highly. I''m alone and even have many people who have grudges against me!" Zhao Feng messaged back.


    He was not some genius from any major faction, and he even had to act very restrained within the Gulong Zone.


    The green-robed elder sighed and began to circulate his Intent, apparently ready to hand over Han Ning''er to True God Zhongtu.


    "However, the two of you are in this situation because of me, and my destination is also the Ziling Zone¡­" Zhao Feng continued his message.


    All of this was true. Zhao Feng had accidentally exposed the location of the elder and Han Ning''er. In addition, based on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s memories, the Spiritual Race that Zhao Yufei was located in was also in the Ziling Zone. This meant that there was no conflict in terms of destination.


    Besides, there were far too many factions that wanted to deal with Zhao Feng. Adding Yellow Dragon Pavilion to the list hardly mattered. In addition, Yellow Dragon Pavilion was at war with Spirit Grass Gate and probably wouldn''t be able to send anyone too powerful after him anyway.


    "Hurry and hand her over!" A sneer floated on True God Zhongtu''s face as he stared at the green-robed elder.


    "Okay!" With this reply, the elder used his Intent to throw Han Ning''er, but his target was Zhao Feng.


    The moment he threw Han Ning''er, the elder''s body began to burn with an astonishing Divine Power.


    Kaboom!


    Green ocean waves began to churn through the world as the elder''s strength soared.


    "Hmph, old fellow, this reckless action of yours is only harming that young man!" True God Zhongtu harshly rebuked, his voice as loud as the roar of a tsunami.


    In this, he was hinting to Zhao Feng that he should act rationally. At the same time, True God Zhongtu was using his Rank Five True God pressure to intimidate Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, the captain of the small team and all the Rank One True Gods under his command flew at Zhao Feng.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng circulated his Intent Energy and snatched up Han Ning''er.


    Swish!


    Golden wings of light condensed on his back, and then Zhao Feng was gone in a flash of faint golden light.


    "Eh? This junior¡­" True God Zhongtu was somewhat surprised.


    There was a Space Sealing Array here, which made it impossible for Zhao Feng to use any spatial escape techniques. However, Zhao Feng seemed to have predicted this move and used a flight technique to flee. Despite this, Zhao Feng was extremely fast ¨C far faster than an ordinary Rank Three True God.


    "After them!" True God Zhongtu immediately roared.


    "Don''t even think about it!" Facing death with a smile, the green-robed elder charged at True God Zhongtu with a thunderous momentum. Zhao Feng was stronger than even the Rank Three True God captain, so if the green-robed elder could hold down True God Zhongtu, Han Ning''er still had a chance of escaping alive.


    "Blue Clouds Cover the Heavens!" The elder''s cry rang in the air as his attack descended.


    Brrrooom!


    A palm formed of glimmering dark green light, suffused with powerful Water and Wood Intent, swept toward True God Zhongtu like an enormous cloud.


    "You''re seeking death, old man!" True God Zhongtu bellowed as he formed his Divine Power into the terrifying image of a yellow dragon.


    To have Han Ning''er flee right before his eyes, robbing him of a great achievement, how could True God Zhongtu not be angry? Moreover, he had not expected for a trifling Quasi-God like Zhao Feng to actually agree to the green-robed elder''s request to escort Han Ning''er.


    "Hold the brat down and wait for reinforcements!" True God Zhongtu messaged the squad captain.


    Zhao Feng was too fast for him to have any hopes that the Rank Three True God could capture Zhao Feng. He could only ensure that they didn''t lose track of Zhao Feng before reinforcements arrived.


    "Yes!" The Rank Three True God began to closely follow Zhao Feng.


    "Instant Movement!" Zhao Feng''s body surged with Space Intent as he brought Han Ning''er in a leap through space.


    "He knows Instant Movement?" The Rank Three True God was flabbergasted.


    A Quasi-God capable of using Instant Movement was no normal sight in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Even some Rank Two and Rank Three True Gods could not use Instant Movement, having failed to comprehend Space Intent.


    Moreover, Zhao Feng was bringing someone else with him while using Instant Movement. He truly did not fear death! One extra person was one extra burden. If one lacked sufficient strength, there was a very possible danger of falling into a spatial crack and dying without a grave.


    "I also know Instant Movement!" The Rank Three True God sneered as he used Instant Movement to leap through space.


    When he lost to Zhao Feng in their exchange of techniques earlier, he took Zhao Feng to be a genius of some major faction. But it now appeared that Zhao Feng was alone.


    If this was the case, then by offending Yellow Dragon Pavilion, Zhao Feng had only doomed himself.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng jumped out of space, quickly condensed his wings of lightning, and took flight.


    "Carrying a person while using Instant Movement reduces the distance and takes up more energy!" Zhao Feng silently cursed.


    Fortunately, he had reached Level Two Space Intent, or else his Instant Movement could have possibly failed. Moreover, while wandering around, Zhao Feng could not recklessly take out the Spacetime Robe, so he had to rely on himself.


    Swish!


    In the next moment, the Rank Three True God appeared where Zhao Feng had been just moments ago.


    "This brat definitely has some secrets!" The Rank Three True God became pensive as he continued the pursuit.


    If Zhao Feng could successfully use Instant Movement while carrying a person, he must have some sort of support treasure on him. Moreover, even though Zhao Feng was an independent expert, he had somehow reached the strength of a Rank Three Quasi-God. These were signs that Zhao Feng had probably received some incredible legacy.


    "Young Sir, this young Miss Han Ning''er is filled with gratitude for your kindness in saving me, but if you carry me, the difficulty of escaping will be much greater, and it will be impossible to throw off that True God. Once the reinforcements from Yellow Dragon Pavilion arrive, you and I will die without a grave!" Han Ning''er apologetically explained to Zhao Feng, her voice as melodious as the gurgling of a stream and the chirping of songbirds. Just listening to it was extremely relaxing.


    In truth, Han Ning''er was also very surprised to see that Zhao Feng had the strength of a Rank Three Quasi-God and that he could even use Instant Movement while carrying her. This was the first time she had ever seen such an astounding Quasi-God prodigy.


    "True," Zhao Feng simply replied.


    That Rank Three True God could use Instant Movement as well and was not that easy to throw off.


    Brrrooom!


    The lightning wings behind Zhao Feng crackled with Lightning energy. With this burst of lightning, Zhao Feng suddenly turned around and began to fly at the Rank Three True God.


    Han Ning''er was taken aback. Was Zhao Feng going to give her up?


    For the sake of her escape, Spirit Grass Gate had sacrificed innumerable lives. Han Ning''er was extremely unwilling to see things end like this, but there was nothing she could do. After seeing so many people die for her, Han Ning''er no longer feared death. She even found death preferable; everything would come to an end, and she would be spared all the suffering and torment.


    "Mm?" The Rank Three True God was also stunned to see Zhao Feng flying at him.


    But then, Zhao Feng suddenly put Han Ning''er down and activated his Sacred Lightning Body and Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline, assaulting the Rank Three True God with his Five Elements Divine Power.


    "Rather than being chased down, I might as well kill you now!" Zhao Feng''s face was a sheet of ice as his left eye began to circulate Eye Intent.


    Han Ning''er''s small mouth instantly dropped open as she stared in Zhao Feng in disbelief. Zhao Feng had turned around not to give her to Yellow Dragon Pavilion, but to kill this Rank Three True God!

 1215 Swift Execution

    Chapter 1215 - Swift Execution


    "Kill me?" The Rank Three True God from Yellow Dragon Pavilion was at first stunned, but he quickly began to laugh. Although he had come off worse in his previous exchange with Zhao Feng, that didn''t mean that Zhao Feng could kill him.


    "Let me see just how you''ll manage to kill me!" A playful smile appeared on the Rank Three True God''s face.


    Zhao Feng was strong, had many techniques, and perhaps even had a powerful divine weapon. However, even if he was no match for Zhao Feng, if he decided to run away with all his might, would Zhao Feng be able to catch up and kill him? After all, in the current situation, Zhao Feng was the one being chased down.


    Besides, this ignorant and impulsive action of Zhao Feng''s was precisely what he wanted. As long as he could hold down Zhao Feng, the reinforcements from Yellow Dragon Pavilion would have time to catch up. When that time came, Zhao Feng would find it very difficult to escape.


    Boom!


    The Rank Three True God suddenly began to grow larger, and a layer of dark yellow scales appeared on his body. He appeared like a majestic mountain as he gathered the Earth energy of the world.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng gathered up his own energy and suddenly fired a palm of five-colored lightning. This palm was as massive as a mountain and crackling all over with electricity.


    This time, Zhao Feng fused the Five Elements Intent into his attack. Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth: these five Intents might only be at Level One, but the power formed from combining them could not be underestimated.


    Boom! Hisss!


    As the five-colored palm pushed forward, it absorbed the Five Elements Intent of the world to strengthen itself.


    "What powerful Intent energy!" The Rank Three True God was stunned.


    The palm Zhao Feng used right now was exactly the same as the one he used before, but the power was on a whole new level. This meant that Zhao Feng went easy on him before.


    This thought left the Rank Three True God extremely unhappy.


    "Hmph!" The True God angrily snorted as he activated his bloodline.


    Kaboom!


    A vast and heavy power exploded from his body. The Rank Three True God''s body swelled, and he ultimately took a form halfway between man and dragon.


    After activating his bloodline, he punched out with his enormous arms, now covered in dark yellow scales.


    "Earth Serpent Dragon Race!" Han Ning''er called out in warning.


    The Earth Serpent Dragon Race was ranked 2619th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. It was famed for its strength and defensive capabilities. They also had a unique ability to comprehend Earth Intent.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The five-colored palm impacted against the transformed Rank Three True God, sending powerful ripples of Intent energy throughout the world.


    Han Ning''er, who was only at the peak Mystic Light Realm, felt an uncomfortable pressure on her body, finding it difficult to even breathe. She immediately retreated to an extremely far distance.


    "How strong! I didn''t think this young man would be so powerful!" Han Ning''er''s beautiful eyes focused on Zhao Feng.


    But suddenly, the five-colored lightning palm that had been blocked by the Rank Three True God suddenly exploded with a blood-colored flame that immediately engulfed the Rank Three True God. This flame had very powerful corrosive properties and was extremely difficult to extinguish.


    "Ah, this bloodline strength¡­!" The Rank Three True God began to howl. This bloodline appeared to even be stronger than his Earth Serpent Dragon Race bloodline.


    As this flame burned, he could feel his blood burning. In his extreme suffering, he could also feel his Yuan Qi fading away.


    Zhao Feng''s Fire Intent had already reached Level One, and upon learning the Five Elements Become One of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, his Fire Intent was on the verge of reaching Level Two. For this reason, the combination of Zhao Feng''s Fire Intent and the Ancient Blood Devil Sun produced an abnormal level of power.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" A ball of lightning condensed in Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Now that the Rank Three True God was injured by the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline, Zhao Feng could strike directly.


    Boom! Bang!


    A twisted flame of Tribulation Lightning carrying a dreadful Soul Intent exploded in the Rank Three True God''s face.


    "Ah¡­!" the Rank Three True God of Yellow Dragon Pavilion screamed.


    It was only his body being burned by the flames before, but now it felt like his soul was being torn apart, the torturous pain of ten thousand cuts constantly barraging his mind.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm!" Zhao Feng switched up his attacks, circulating his Spacetime Intent to use a different technique.


    Zhao Feng''s Space Intent was at Level Two and his Time Intent was at Level One, and the Heaven Engulfing Palm itself was an average-quality divine rank technique. This palm technique was much more powerful than the Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm.


    Several Heaven Engulfing Palms traveled through space, almost immediately appearing in front of the Rank Three True God.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    In his throes of pain, the True God was in no place to resist and was struck by the Heaven Engulfing Palms. Enormous spatial ripples swept through the surroundings, causing even the surrounding space to tremble.


    "Aaaaaah¡­!" The Rank Three True God flew backward several thousand li, leaving a gruesome path of blood in his wake.


    At this moment, his soul, bloodline, and body had all been heavily injured. He did not even have forty percent of his peak strength.


    "Run!" The Rank Three True God turned to flee in fear.


    Bzzzz!


    Space Intent surged as he began to activate his escape technique.


    "A Rank Three True God could lose so easily!?" Han Ning''er was frozen in shock.


    Based on the Rank Three True God''s current condition, even if he fled with all his might, Zhao Feng would very likely catch up to and kill him. However, Zhao Feng probably wouldn''t chase him, as the experts of Yellow Dragon Pavilion were on their way here at this very moment.


    "Do you think you can escape?" Zhao Feng''s coldly asked, the God''s Spiritual Eye surging with Space Intent as it locked down the region.


    "Spatial Lock Eye!"


    An invisible spatial energy spread through the surrounding space. Zhao Feng locked down the area for tens of thousands of li around the Rank Three True God. He could not use his spatial escape technique, and even his use of Space Intent was fairly restricted.


    "What? You also know a secret art like this!?" the Rank Three God shouted in panic.


    Space Intent was very difficult to comprehend, and spatial techniques were also extremely rare. This Rank Three True God only had a low-quality divine weapon capable of locking down space, but Zhao Feng could use a spatial eye-bloodline technique that could lock down space?


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng had no time for nonsense and immediately used his Soul eye-bloodline technique.


    Kacrack!


    Violet lightning-fire exploded upon the Rank Three True God''s head. Lightning flames wreaked havoc on both his body and soul.


    "Ah, spare me¡­!" The Rank Three True God was already injured, so he naturally could not endure this additional torment.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" After using his eye-bloodline technique, Zhao Feng used yet another powerful skill.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Enormous waves of Intent energy swept toward the Yellow Dragon Pavilion True God.


    Han Ning''er stared from a distance, not daring to believe her eyes. A Quasi-God had managed to heavily injure a Rank Three True God with lightning-like speed and even seemed ready to take his life. Was this golden-haired youth really not some Quasi-God genius from a five-star faction?


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng used one last Tribulation Lightning eye-bloodline technique to end the Rank Three True God''s life.


    "Let''s go!" After killing the Rank Three True God, Zhao Feng took Han Ning''er and immediately fled.


    Zhao Feng had used everything except his trump cards to speedily kill this Rank Three True God. Moreover, using those consecutive eye-bloodline techniques and other skills was very taxing on Zhao Feng. If he encountered another Rank Three True God, Zhao Feng probably wouldn''t be able to fight him.


    Not long after, an enormous pressure that could crush all things in the world descended upon the scene. Two elders with incredible aura arrived at the place where the Rank Three True God had fallen. One of them was True God Zhongtu.


    "There was a battle here, and I smell death!" True God Zhongtu said with a glum face.


    The message token he had could not get in touch with the Rank Three True God, so it was obvious what had happened.


    "That brat has the ability to kill a Rank Three True God?" True God Zhongtu said in disbelief.


    "You and I are so fast; even if that boy had the strength of a Rank Three True God, he couldn''t have possibly killed one so quickly!" the other elder said.


    "It seems like he had another person''s help, or else he has some precious treasure!" True God Zhongtu concluded.


    "We can''t let him and Han Ning''er go!"


    The two figures harrumphed and took off with a sweep of their sleeves.


    ¡­


    Together with Han Ning''er, Zhao Feng used Instant Movement multiple times, only stopping after covering five million li.


    Instant Movement was already a very taxing technique, and Zhao Feng was carrying someone with him on top of that. Using it consecutively nearly ten times was essentially his limit.


    Of course, if it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng only just met Han Ning''er and didn''t trust her very much, he would have just sent her into the Spacetime Robe or his Interspatial Dimension. He could not lightly expose the secret of the Spacetime Robe, and there were countless treasures in his Interspatial Dimension that anyone beneath the Ancient God level would desire.


    "My deepest gratitude for benefactor''s assistance. This young miss does not know how to repay you," Han Ning''er voiced her thanks to Zhao Feng.


    Han Ning''er then used her Eye Intent, sending an extremely gentle surge of Life Intent into Zhao Feng''s body.


    In a flash, Zhao Feng felt refreshed, his exhaustion washed away. At the same time, Life energy began to slowly heal Zhao Feng''s injuries, and it even nourished his body and restored his Yuan Qi.


    "What a heaven-defying ability!" Zhao Feng was astonished.


    If Han Ning''er''s cultivation was just a little higher, the effects of her treatment would be even greater, and it might even be capable of advancing Zhao Feng''s own cultivation level.


    Under the treatment of the Eye of Life, Zhao Feng quickly recovered to his optimal condition.


    "Just call me Zhao Feng," Zhao Feng simply replied.


    The journey to the Ziling Zone would be extremely long, and Zhao Feng found it rather uncomfortable to be called "benefactor."


    "We''ll have to take a long way there. Let''s find an Exchange Spiritual Hall and get a map!"


    Zhao Feng''s current map had a very limited range. If he was going to take a long way, he naturally needed to get a new map.


    Exchange Spiritual Halls were very easy to find, but they were divided according to rank. The stronger the faction controlling the Exchange Spiritual Hall, the higher its rank, and the larger the trades that would be taking place in them.


    After three months, Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er left the bounds of Spirit Grass Gate and Yellow Dragon Pavilion and reached an Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    There was a special area in the Exchange Spiritual Hall where, if one paid a fee, one could open up a stall. The owner of the stall could display their own wares and use them to exchange for the items they wanted.


    Zhao Feng paid the fee of God crystals and opened up a stall. After thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Feng took out two cultivating treasures he had obtained from the phoenix nest. Afterward, Zhao Feng took out a wooden plaque and wrote in large words, "Exchanging for a map of the area!"


    "That''s Sky Lotus Dark Green Grass and Golden Essence Fruit!" The owner of the stall next to Zhao Feng''s saw the two items Zhao Feng had taken out, and his eyes instantly went ablaze with desire.

 1216 Quasi-God Jian Feng

    Chapter 1216 - Quasi-God Jian Feng


    "That''s Sky Lotus Dark Green Grass and Golden Essence Fruit!" The owner of the stall next to Zhao Feng''s saw the two items Zhao Feng had taken out, and his eyes instantly went ablaze with desire.


    Sky Lotus Dark Green Grass and Golden Essence Fruit were precious resources that presented an enormous temptation to any Rank Four True God.


    Afterward, he glanced at Zhao Feng and realized that he wasn''t even a True God. He couldn''t help but sigh and shake his head. If Zhao Feng was taking out these two precious resources to exchange for a map, he was definitely looking for a map of very high quality. Probably only a small number of Rank Three True Gods or Rank Four True Gods would be able to give Zhao Feng such a map.


    But in this Exchange Spiritual Hall, Rank Three True Gods were a rare sight, and Rank Four True Gods would only visit once every few years. This meant that Zhao Feng''s two treasures would probably go unexchanged.


    Although the Exchange Spiritual Hall forbade fighting, Zhao Feng had taken out two extremely precious treasures and didn''t have the strength to keep them. He was definitely being watched, and once he left the Exchange Spiritual Hall, it would be over for him.


    "These two herbs are too precious!" a woman wearing a white veil standing next to Zhao Feng messaged him.


    This woman was naturally Han Ning''er.


    Since Yellow Dragon Pavilion was not far from this place, the news that Han Ning''er was wanted had definitely been secretly spread through the area. For the sake of safety, Zhao Feng had bought a special veil that could keep out Divine Sense and conceal Han Ning''er''s face.


    But even so, the bearing she exuded and the natural vitality around her were impossible to conceal. Even if bystanders couldn''t see her face, they could definitely tell that she was a beauty.


    "There''s nothing to be done. If we don''t have a map, the time it will take to reach the Ziling Zone will be at least doubled, and the chance of running into danger will be higher as well!" Zhao Feng messaged back.


    "Do you really not belong to some major faction?" Han Ning''er suddenly asked.


    Zhao Feng had a powerful bloodline, immense strength, astonishing talent, and could use many different kinds of Intent. It was difficult to imagine that such a person was not a member of some large faction.


    But if Zhao Feng had the backing of a major faction, he wouldn''t need to fear Yellow Dragon Pavilion and could use the teleportation arrays of four-and-a-half-star and peak four-star factions.


    "I''m not," Zhao Feng simply replied.


    In truth, Zhao Feng wanted to create an identity that would allow him to use the teleportation arrays of four-and-a-half-star factions. However, it was extremely difficult to forge such an identity. Moreover, Zhao Feng had offended many factions of the Gulong Zone. In these uncertain circumstances, he could not carelessly expose himself.


    "Sky Lotus Dark Green Grass!" Many of the people strolling through the crowd would stop in front of Zhao Feng''s stall.


    It didn''t take long before most of the people on the street had gathered.


    "Boy, what sort of map do you want?" a middle-aged man asked. His body seemed to unconsciously exude the energy of the Ghost Dao. Those of weaker strength who got too close could inadvertently have their personalities affected.


    "Rank Two True God!" The weaker Mystic Light Realm experts immediately chose to back up.


    Although it was only a Rank Two True God, this man was a Ghost Dao cultivator, so it was better not to provoke him.


    "A complete map of at least eight four-and-a-half-star factions," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    The Sky Feather Island Lord''s map contained information on six four-and-a-half-star factions, but none of the information about the factions was complete.


    "Boy, that price is too high. I have a complete map of six four-and-a-half-star factions. Do you want to trade?" The middle-aged man''s face turned cold, and a ghostly pressure began to gather around Zhao Feng.


    Han Ning''er gave a soft groan. It was evident that her peak Mystic Light Realm cultivation found it hard to resist the pressure of this Rank Two True God.


    "Get out of my face," Zhao Feng flatly said. The moment he said these words, all the Ghost Dao energy around him immediately dispersed.


    "You¡­!" The Rank Two True God was stunned. He wanted to say something, but then he stopped himself. From Zhao Feng''s display just now, he could see that Zhao Feng was not weaker than himself.


    "Hmph, a trifling Rank Two Quasi-God taking out such treasures! The Exchange Spiritual Hall''s hunters won''t let you get away!" The Rank Two True God retreated to the side with a cold harrumph.


    In Exchange Spiritual Halls, anyone who paid the fee could enter. However, a certain class of people didn''t come to the Exchange Spiritual Hall to trade for anything, but to search for prey. These were people were called hunters.


    Once these hunters saw an item they wanted, they would hide nearby and wait for their target to leave the Exchange Spiritual Hall. Moreover, these hunters would always gather in groups of three to five.


    For this reason, people would normally form groups when going to an Exchange Spiritual Hall or hire experts as bodyguards.


    "Haha, hunters?" Zhao Feng softly chuckled.


    A while ago, when he went to the Exchange Spiritual Hall of the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race and took out a bunch of treasures, he ended up being targeted by the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race. But in the end, Zhao Feng had killed all of their hunters, one by one.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng could already sense that several vicious and bloodthirsty gazes were watching him from the shadows. However, the cultivation levels of these people weren''t very high. After all, this wasn''t a very high-ranked Exchange Spiritual Hall. Rank Three True Gods rarely appeared here.


    More and more people came to Zhao Feng''s stall to inquire about an exchange.


    Two of them actually reached Zhao Feng''s requirement of a complete map of eight four-and-a-half-star factions. However, these two maps contained information on factions that Zhao Feng already knew, so no deal was made.


    One day later, Zhao Feng had still not obtained the map he wanted, but he had even more people watching him from the shadows.


    "Too few Rank Four True Gods frequent this Exchange Spiritual Hall. It seems like it will be very difficult for me to make a deal," Zhao Feng sighed.


    "Eh? Sky Lotus Dark Green Grass!"


    At this time, several loud and astonished voices came from nearby.


    Four people stepped over to Zhao Feng''s stall. Two were young men, one was a woman, and the other was a very reserved elder with an unfathomable aura. The three youths all had unique traits; their skin was black, their pupils were white, and their faces were cold and frightening.


    "It''s the Nether Ghost Race!"


    "Aren''t these three all Quasi-God prodigies of the Nether Ghost Race? That young man leading them is Quasi-God Mo Gui!"


    A few bystanders recognized this group and began to stand aside. The Nether Ghost Race was a four-and-a-half-star faction of the Gulong Zone. It was a somewhat stronger existence on par with Yellow Dragon Pavilion.


    "I want this Sky Lotus Dark Green Grass!" Quasi-God Mo Gui turned his sinister white pupils toward Zhao Feng and declared.


    "A complete map of eight four-and-a-half-star factions," Zhao Feng looked back and replied.


    Quasi-God Mo Gui was only a Rank Two Quasi-God, on the same level as Quasi-God Di Lin and Quasi-God Lan Ye, the ones he met in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "Mm?" A hint of killing intent flashed through Quasi-God Mo Gui''s eyes.


    He had not expected that a Quasi-God who set up a stall in this Exchange Spiritual Hall would decide to not give him any face. After all, his Nether Ghost Race was a four-and-a-half-star faction presided over by an Ancient God. A single four-and-a-half-star faction governed over dozens of four-star factions and controlled nearly twenty Exchange Spiritual Halls.


    The rules of these Exchange Spiritual Hall were binding on the four-star factions, but they were useless on the four-and-a-half-star faction that administrated them all. Rules were just the tools used by those above to restrict those below. Only the weak needed to obey them!


    "Don''t stir up trouble," the elder next to Quasi-God Mo Gui lightly said.


    This Exchange Spiritual Hall was not in the territory of the Nether Ghost Race, or else he would not have reminded Quasi-God Mo Gui.


    "Give a little face to the Nether Ghost Race. I will give you a map containing the information on four four-and-a-half-star factions, and you give me the Sky Lotus Dark Green Grass," the elder continued.


    In Zhao Feng''s refusal just now, he refused to give any face to the Nether Ghost Race. Engaging in a fair exchange with Zhao Feng at this point would do even further harm to the Nether Ghost Race''s dignity.


    Zhao Feng''s brow slightly creased in displeasure. If he had a powerful strength or intimidating identity, he would never be bullied around like this.


    "I came to exchange for a map, not give you face!" Zhao Feng coldly retorted.


    "Mm?" This time, the elder''s brow creased, and an invisible pressure began to bear down on the area.


    Aoooo! Hwooo!


    The surroundings darkened, and the terrifying wails of ghosts could be heard.


    "Rank Four True God!"


    Stunned, quite a few people began to hurriedly back away.


    This elder was a Rank Four True God backed by the Nether Ghost Race. Even if he killed someone in the Exchange Spiritual Hall, the controller of the hall probably wouldn''t say anything.


    Quite a few people looked at Zhao Feng in pity. Even those hunters gave up on their target.


    "Haha, the people of the Nether Ghost Race want to attack someone inside the Exchange Spiritual Hall?" Laughter came from nearby.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled. He found the voice familiar, but he couldn''t remember from where.


    "Isn''t this the Sky Haze Race''s Quasi-God Jian Feng?" The Nether Ghost Race''s Quasi-God Mo Gui turned with an icy stare toward the figure flying over here.


    The elder of the Nether Ghost Race shot a few glances at the blue-haired old woman standing behind Quasi-God Jian Feng.


    "Quasi-God Jian Feng, what do you mean by this? My Nether Ghost Race has certainly not done such a thing!" Quasi-God Mo Gui coldly glared at Quasi-God Jian Feng.


    "Brother Zhao, I didn''t think I would run into you here!" Quasi-God Jian Feng walked straight to Zhao Feng with a smile on his face.


    Quasi-God Jian Feng, the prodigy of the Sky Haze Race, was precisely the one in Phoenix Forest who invited Zhao Feng and the Golden-Armed Race to attack the phoenix nest.


    "Hmph!" Quasi-God Mo Gui snorted, his expression gloomy. He just asked Quasi-God Jian Feng a question, but Jian Feng ignored him and went straight to the stall owner.


    However, Mo Gui was rather surprised to hear Quasi-God Jian Feng call the stall owner "Brother Zhao." Quasi-God Jian Feng had quite some reputation in the Sky Haze Race; anyone he called a brother had to be someone of some status.


    "This is a map of eight four-and-a-half-star or above factions. I want the Sky Lotus Dark Green Grass!" the Nether Ghost Race elder suddenly spoke, taking a jade token that he had just branded the information onto.


    The Sky Haze Race was a peak four-star faction, much stronger than the Nether Ghost Race. Quasi-God Jian Feng even knew Zhao Feng. In other words, if the Nether Ghost Race wanted the Sky Lotus Dark Green Grass, it could only make a fair exchange.


    "Sorry, I''m closing up shop!" With a faint smile, Zhao Feng put away the two herbs, dismantled the stall, and began to walk toward Jian Feng.


    Although he only met Quasi-God Jian Feng once, this Quasi-God had a very refreshing and relaxed personality. He was not one for schemes and treachery. Otherwise, Quasi-God Jian Feng would not have come over on his own to help Zhao Feng out of his problem. He clearly wanted to be friends with Zhao Feng.


    Since this was the case, Zhao Feng could probably just get the map he wanted from the Sky Haze Race, or perhaps even use its teleportation array directly. As such, there was no need to continue displaying his wares at the stall.


    "Junior, you are very bold¡­" The Nether Ghost Race elder''s eyes shone with a sinister light, and he paused between each of his words.

 1217 Gulong Martial Gathering

    Chapter 1217 - Gulong Martial Gathering


    "Junior, you are very bold¡­" The Nether Ghost Race elder''s eyes shone with a sinister light, and he paused between each of his words.


    This icy killing intent was so distinct that it made everyone nearby shiver.


    "Let''s go!" With an angry snort, the Nether Ghost Race elder led his juniors away.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that people from the Sky Haze Race were present and that Quasi-God Jian Feng knew Zhao Feng, he would have already killed Zhao Feng.


    Once the people of the Nether Ghost Race were gone, everyone else instantly breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure and killing intent of a Rank Four True God were not easy to endure.


    "How dangerous! I didn''t think he also knew someone from the Sky Haze Race!" Han Ning''er gave a light gasp of surprise.


    Although Zhao Feng was strong enough that he wouldn''t necessarily be killed by a Rank Four True God, the two of them would have certainly ended up being exposed. Fortunately, Zhao Feng knew someone from the Sky Haze Race, allowing him to resolve this crisis without fighting.


    The Sky Haze Race was a peak four-star faction, a level higher than Spirit Grass Gate and Yellow Dragon Pavilion.


    "Quasi-God Jian Feng, my deepest gratitude for your assistance in resolving this problem!" Zhao Feng walked over to Quasi-God Jian Feng and smiled.


    "Please! If Brother Zhao hadn''t captured Hou Qing at the phoenix nest, drawing away the forces of the Sky Water Yao Race¡­" Quasi-God Jian Feng looked at Zhao Feng with praise.


    In the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, in front of the many True God experts of the Sky Water Yao Race, Zhao Feng defeated and captured Hou Qing, drawing away the forces of the Sky Water Yao Race. In the end, he even managed to escape from a Rank Four True God. Quasi-God Jian Feng was filled with admiration for such feats.


    In addition, it was precisely because Zhao Feng had drawn away the experts of the Sky Water Yao Race that the Sky Haze Race had been able to extricate themselves from that dangerous situation.


    Hearing this, the old lady of the Sky Haze Race and the young blue-haired girl with them couldn''t help but glance at Zhao Feng. They had also heard of what happened to the Sky Haze Race in the phoenix next.


    At the time, the Sky Haze Race was being pressured by the Sky Water Yao Race and another peak four-star race. When Zhao Feng captured Hou Qing and restrained the Sky Water Yao Race, the Sky Haze Race was able to escape.


    He had captured Hou Qing, threatened a Rank Four True God, and still smoothly escaped. This golden-haired youth was definitely not simple!


    The blue-haired old lady of the Sky Haze Race gave a slight nod. For Quasi-God Jian Feng to form a relationship with such a talented individual was a boon for the Sky Haze Race.


    "Quasi-God Jian Feng, my reputation isn''t that good, so don''t mention these things anymore!" Zhao Feng secretly messaged Jian Feng.


    "Understood!" Quasi-God Jian Feng immediately understood.


    Zhao Feng''s actions back then could be said to have thoroughly offended the Sky Water Yao Race. Zhao Feng didn''t have any major faction backing him, so Zhao Feng hoped that his name wouldn''t spread too far so as to avoid the Sky Water Yao Race hunting him down.


    "Brother Zhao, you need a map of the nearby area?" Quasi-God Jian Feng suddenly asked.


    "Yes. I need to leave the Gulong Zone and travel very far," Zhao Feng directly said.


    At the same time as getting a map, he implied that he also hoped Quasi-God Jian Feng could help by providing him an identity that would allow him to use higher-ranked teleportation arrays.


    "Leave the Gulong Zone?" Quasi-God Jian Feng was slightly stunned.


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was vast and boundless. Even a single one of its zones was unimaginably enormous. When the disciples of the Sky Haze Race wandered in the outside world for training, they would basically never leave the Gulong Zone.


    "That''s difficult. Even when the members of the Sky Haze Race go training in the outside world, they''ll only use the teleportation arrays of the nearby four-and-a-half-star factions," Quasi-God Jian Feng awkwardly said.


    At the same time, he was thinking, could Zhao Feng''s faction be in a different zone?


    In his mind, how could a person without a faction possibly be so strong?


    "So that''s the case." Zhao Feng nodded.


    There were ten-some four-and-a-half-star factions in the Gulong Zone, and some of these factions that were farther from the Sky Haze Race would not show any courtesy to it. Of course, there were also enemy factions that would even target the members of the Sky Haze Race beyond its borders.


    "Even if the journey is difficult, I still have to head to the Ziling Zone. This can also be considered a sort of trial on my martial path," Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    "The Ziling Zone?" The three from the Sky Haze Race were rather surprised.


    The Ziling Zone and Gulong Zone were separated by three zones. This was an incredibly long journey!


    However, they were even more confused as to why Zhao Feng needed to go to the Ziling Zone.


    "Haha, Brother Zhao truly is an unusual person!" After a few moments of shock, Quasi-God Jian Feng broke into laughter.


    Even though he was a mere Quasi-God, Zhao Feng still wanted to cross through three zones. This courage and determination truly won Jian Feng''s admiration.


    "Brother Zhao, if you come to my Sky Haze Race, I can help you save some time on your journey. But we''ve also got our own matters to attend to, so this is all I can help you with." After saying this, Quasi-God Jian Feng sent a blue ball of light out from the center of his brow.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng did not resist, allowing the ball of light to sink into his brow.


    A map ¨C one covering the territory of ten four-and-a-half-star factions! Zhao Feng''s eyes glimmered.


    "Many thanks!" Zhao Feng said in gratitude.


    This map was the largest map Quasi-God Jian Feng could get from the Sky Haze Race. Moreover, this map was extremely detailed, almost like it was a small-scale model.


    "That''s right¡­! With Brother Zhao''s strength, you could definitely enter the Gulong Zone''s Quasi-God Ranking. With this identity, it''ll be easy for you to use the teleportation arrays belonging to other factions!" Quasi-God Jian Feng mentioned, the thought having just come to his mind.


    "The Gulong Zone''s Quasi-God Ranking?" Zhao Feng had heard of it before.


    With his strength, he would have no difficulty entering this ranking.


    However, the ranking competition was held once every century. There were still fifty years until the next one. In fifty years, even if Zhao Feng used only small-scale teleportation arrays, he would have left the Gulong Zone long before the competition.


    "Brother Zhao doesn''t know? Recently, two prodigies of a five-star faction have decided to open a Gulong Martial Gathering, gathering all the geniuses of the Gulong Zone to exchange pointers. Although it''s not the actual Gulong Zone Quasi-God Ranking Competition, a few of the geniuses on the Quasi-God Ranking will show up. If Brother Zhao defeated them¡­" Quasi-God Jian Feng explained to Zhao Feng.


    Jian Feng had left the Sky Haze Race precisely to take part in this Gulong Martial Gathering. He would get to know the various prodigies from around the Gulong Zone as well as challenge some of the people on the Quasi-God Ranking.


    "Gulong Martial Gathering?" Zhao Feng had never heard of it.


    Han Ning''er also indicated that she knew nothing. After all, Yellow Dragon Pavilion and Spirit Grass Gate were at war with each other, so they had no time to worry about some martial gathering.


    My identity is a little sensitive. If it''s the Gulong Zone Quasi-God Ranking Competition, I wouldn''t be able to go, but I can attend this Gulong Martial Gathering, Zhao Feng pondered to himself.


    The Gulong Zone Quasi-God Ranking Competition could be considered a summit for the entire Gulong Zone. Almost all the factions of the Gulong Zone would be there so that their disciples could show off their abilities.


    But the Gulong Martial Gathering was a little lower on the scale. Only a few factions would show up, and in extremely small numbers. Some factions might only send a single scout to gather information.


    "If the Sky Haze Race does not mind, I hope that you can bring me along to experience this Gulong Martial Gathering!" Zhao Feng looked at the trio from the Sky Haze Race and smiled.


    A few prodigies from the Quasi-God Ranking would show up at the Gulong Martial Gathering. Zhao Feng would only need to defeat one of them to gain a little reputation for himself. Since Zhao Feng didn''t belong to any faction, many factions would even try to bring him to their side. Using teleportation arrays would naturally cease to be a problem.


    "Then let''s go together," the blue-haired old lady of the Sky Haze Race immediately replied.


    An extra person would be no problem at all. Besides, she wanted to see Zhao Feng''s abilities for herself.


    "This person is¡­?" The old lady suddenly turned to Han Ning''er.


    With her powerful Divine Sense, she could only see a part of Han Ning''er''s face. However, Han Ning''er''s complexion was flawless. Even this blurred face was enough to topple countries. Even more importantly, Han Ning''er''s demeanor and the unique vitality surrounding her had truly piqued the old lady''s curiosity.


    "This is my younger sister. She''s traveling with me to the Ziling Zone." Zhao Feng smiled.


    Calling Han Ning''er his younger sister would avoid drawing the suspicion of others. If Zhao Feng were to claim that he was bringing an unrelated weakling with him all the way to the Ziling Zone, then he would attract far too much doubt.


    Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er soon left this Exchange Spiritual Hall with the Sky Haze Race. The hunters who were watching Zhao Feng from the shadows could only give up on their prey.


    "Quasi-God Jian Feng is going to attend the Gulong Martial Gathering!"


    "Just who is that golden-haired youth? Quasi-God Jian Feng seemed to treat him with great respect!"


    Once the Sky Haze Race group had left, the crowd immediately began to chatter amongst themselves. The Gulong Martial Gathering would gather many geniuses of the Gulong Zone so that they could exchange pointers and improve together.


    But not just anyone had the right to observe it.


    ¡­


    Together with the Sky Haze Race, Zhao Feng was able to use teleportation arrays to arrive in the territory of the four-and-a-half-star race that governed the area. Using the teleportation array under the control of this four-and-a-half-star, Zhao Feng and the Sky Haze Race were able to travel across the territory spanned by five or six four-star factions.


    "This is the territory of Stellar Tower. The Gulong Martial Gathering is being held within Stellar Tower''s Five Star Mountain," Quasi-God Jian Feng explained to Zhao Feng.


    There was still one month until the Gulong Martial Gathering began. The Sky Haze Race could be considered to have arrived early. For this reason, the group chose to stay at a nearby Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "Brother Zhao, this Exchange Spiritual Hall is operated by Stellar Tower. It''s on a much higher level than those ordinary Exchange Spiritual Halls run by the four-star factions!"


    On this journey, Quasi-God Jian Feng had been the most talkative of all. After him was the Quasi-God girl of the Sky Haze Race, while Han Ning''er had said almost nothing.


    "Mm, it''s truly different." Looking around, Zhao Feng could see that this Exchange Spiritual Hall was at least five times larger than the Exchange Spiritual Hall of Sky Feather Island. An ordinary person simply didn''t have the vision to see where it ended.


    Within the Exchange Spiritual Hall, all kinds of ancient, magnificent, and mysterious buildings could be seen. In addition, because of the Gulong Martial Gathering, all the Exchange Spiritual Halls in the territory of Stellar Tower were packed. Rank Two and Rank Three True Gods could be seen wherever one looked, and even Rank Four True Gods were a common sight.


    "Quasi-God Di Lin!" Zhao Feng spotted Quasi-God Di Lin in one of the buildings.


    Di Lin had clearly not noticed Zhao Feng. After all, there were far too many people, and it was easy for a person to go unnoticed in the crowd.


    "It seems that Quasi-God Di Lin is representing the Golden Jade Race in the Gulong Martial Gathering," Zhao Feng muttered.


    Zhao Feng was with the Sky Haze Race right now, so even if Quasi-God Di Lin noticed Zhao Feng, he wouldn''t dare to do anything.

 1218 Gathering of Quasi-Gods

    Chapter 1218 - Gathering of Quasi-Gods


    The location of the Gulong Martial Gathering was Stellar Tower''s Five Star Mountain. The peak of Five Star Mountain was formed from tough white crystal and gray stone. Even in the night, it exuded a faint glow. There were five mountains surrounding it in the shape of a pentagon, so it was christened Five Star Mountain.


    Construction work had begun on Five Star Mountain several years ago. Many towers and pavilions had been built upon the five mountains, and an enormous fighting stage had been built on the mountain in the very center.


    The Gulong Martial Gathering had not yet begun, but countless spectators had already gathered around Five Star Mountain.


    "I hear that this martial gathering was organized by two prodigies belonging to five-star factions of the Gulong Zone, Quasi-Gods Zi Feng and Tian Xue!"


    "They''re ranked fourth and seventh respectively on the Quasi-God Ranking. I wonder if any of the other twenty on the Quasi-God Ranking will show up."


    Around Five Star Mountain, many people were discussing what might happen during this martial gathering. Many people believed that the Gulong Martial Gathering was really just a prelude to the Quasi-God Ranking Competition.


    Countless experts had gathered around Five Star Mountain. However, nobody knew that, deep under the mountain in the center of Five Star Mountain, one person was hiding.


    "Damn it! Everything was going perfectly fine, so why did they decide to hold a martial gathering right on top of Five Star Mountain!?"


    This man''s skin was black, but his eyes were shining bright. In front of him was a stone door. On the door was a complex sealing array.


    The sealing array was in the shape of a pentagon. The power of the Five Elements spread out from each corner of the pentagon to protect this space.


    "This place is definitely somewhere the Five Elements God Lord used to cultivate. It''s been four years now. I''m only a sliver away from breaking this seal!"


    The black-skinned man was seated cross-legged in front of the door. A round disc was in his hands, shooting out streams of light that flowed into the Five Elements seal.


    "The Five Elements God Lord was a wandering God Lord. When entering seclusion, he was fond of opening up a personal dimension and laying down a protective array over it."


    An excited look appeared on the man''s face. He was just inches away from breaking open the sealing array. There was a high chance that the Five Elements God Lord had left a treasure inside.


    Unfortunately, the Gulong Martial Gathering was going to take place in a month on Five Star Mountain.


    In addition, this array had a self-healing attribute. If he stopped the process, the array would slowly recover. This was a unique trait of Five Elements arrays.


    For this reason, this black-skinned man prayed that the martial gathering would end early.


    ¡­


    In the Exchange Spiritual Hall, Zhao Feng, Han Ning''er, and the two prodigies from the Sky Haze Race were strolling around.


    "It really is on another level. I can see Rank Three True Gods wherever I look, and even a few Rank Four True Gods," Zhao Feng muttered.


    With his God''s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng had even noticed a few experts with especially powerful auras. They were highly likely to be True God experts above Rank Four.


    Other than that, it was mostly Quasi-Gods around. After all, the main characters of this martial gathering were the Quasi-God experts.


    "So many Quasi-Gods, and all of them are part of the younger generation!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but think back to the Continent Zone, and a faint smile emerged on his face.


    In the Continent Zone, the strongest cultivation level the younger generation had reached was that of Emperor. Very few of them had passed the Mystic Light Realm. But in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, only those who had obtained the glorious level of Quasi-God could be called geniuses.


    "Isn''t this Quasi-God Jian Feng?" At this moment, a sharp voice rang out in everyone''s ears.


    Zhao Feng glanced over and saw the two Quasi-God prodigies of the Nether Ghost Race. The speaker was precisely Quasi-God Mo Gui.


    "Quasi-God Jian Feng of the Sky Haze Race?"


    The surrounding crowd immediately began to stare at Quasi-God Jian Feng. There had always been a rumor in the outside world that Quasi-God Jian Feng of the Sky Haze Race had comprehended Level Two Wind Intent and had a high chance of entering the top twenty of the Quasi-God Ranking.


    "Even you came to see the show, so why can''t I?" Quasi-God Jian Feng''s counter was sharp and brutal.


    Quasi-God Mo Gui was left speechless. In terms of backing, the Sky Haze Race was stronger than the Nether Ghost Race. In terms of personal strength, he was truly no match for Quasi-God Jian Feng.


    "Hmph, I''m surprised that a brat like you showed up here, but I bet that you won''t dare to step onto the stage during the martial gathering!" Mo Gui couldn''t do anything to Jian Feng, so he used Zhao Feng to vent his anger.


    At the same, he wanted to provoke Zhao Feng into fighting in the martial gathering. If Zhao Feng stepped onto the stage, Quasi-God Mo Gui would be the first to charge up and humiliate him.


    "You don''t need to worry about that!" Zhao Feng coldly replied.


    "Haha, Quasi-God Mo Gui, I''m just worried that when Brother Zhao goes on stage, you will be the one who won''t dare!" Quasi-God Jian Feng said with a laugh.


    Quasi-God Mo Gui was even weaker than Hou Qing. Zhao Feng would be able to easily dispose of him.


    "Okay! When the time comes, let me see just which one of us won''t dare to go on!" Mo Gui gave a cold and sinister smile.


    After saying this, Quasi-God Mo Gui left with the other Nether Ghost Race Quasi-God.


    "Brother Zhao, when the time comes, you need to give him a good beating!" Jian Feng smiled.


    He had long ago tired of the sight of Quasi-God Mo Gui. Despite his little strength, this Nether Ghost Race Quasi-God constantly bragged and boasted wherever he went.


    "Let''s go and try out the delicacies of Sea Pearl Tower," Quasi-God Jian Feng suggested.


    "I hear that Sea Pearl Tower of Stellar Tower''s Exchange Spiritual Hall only cooks seafood, and that the taste is incredible!" the girl from the Sky Haze Race excitedly said.


    "Okay, let''s try it out." Zhao Feng nodded.


    Zhao Feng had been busy rushing about ever since he left Sky Feather Island, so it was about time for him to relax a little.


    Sea Pearl Tower was about the same as Saint Pearl Tower in Sky Feather Island''s Exchange Spiritual Hall, but Sea Pearl Tower appeared even more impressive. Moreover, it specialized in seafood, and its delicacies had their own unique flavor.


    It just so happened that, as Zhao Feng''s group arrived, another group of guests just finished.


    "Zhao Feng, your luck is pretty good. Quasi-God Tian Xue is also here." After seating himself, Quasi-God Jian Feng whispered.


    "It''s her? She''s one of the organizers of the Gulong Martial Gathering?" Zhao Feng''s gaze rested upon the very center of the restaurant.


    A white-clothed girl was seated at this table. Her skin was white and tender, and her eyes were like clear and sparkling crystals. She appeared like a lofty and noble fairy.


    Alas, she wore a veil over her face, preventing anyone from seeing her entire face. Only when she lifted her veil to eat were people able to see her alluring cherry-red lips.


    "That''s right. Quasi-God Tian Xue is a genius of one of the three five-star factions of the Gulong Zone. She''s ranked seventh on the Quasi-God Ranking, and she has countless followers in the Gulong Zone. It''s because of her that so many people have come to this Gulong Martial Gathering." Quasi-God Jian Feng chattered on.


    "Quasi-God Jian Feng is also interested in her?" Zhao Feng suddenly said with a smile.


    "Who doesn''t love a beauty?" Quasi-God Jian Feng unreservedly admitted.


    Zhao Feng nodded. It was impossible to see the entirety of Quasi-God Tian Xue''s face, but one could imagine that she was a woman of incredible beauty. Considering her talent and backing, it was impossible for the younger generation of the Gulong Zone to not adore her.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng activated his left eye. In an instant, Zhao Feng pierced through the veil over Quasi-God Tian Xue''s face.


    A gorgeous visage was reflected in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Not as good as her! Zhao Feng slightly shook his head.


    Quasi-God Tian Xue''s white clothes and veil made Zhao Feng recall Liu Qinxin. Zhao Feng still keenly remembered the breathtaking sight that greeted him when the little thieving cat took away Liu Qinxin''s veil.


    Although Quasi-God Tian Xue also had enough beauty to captivate birds and beasts, she was still no match for Liu Qinxin!


    "Mm?" Quasi-God Tian Xue''s eyes suddenly fell upon Zhao Feng.


    All the men around her were looking at her in adoration. Only this golden-haired man had given a slight shake of his head when seeing her and appeared rather absent-minded.


    This greatly displeased Quasi-God Tian Xue. Although she was not the strongest woman on the Quasi-God Ranking, she was certainly the most beautiful. Coupled with her strength and backing, how could there be a man in the Gulong Zone that was not interested in her?


    And yet this golden-haired man had shaken his head!


    "Quasi-God Tian Xue, what''s wrong?"


    The men around her had their eyes fixed upon Quasi-God Tian Xue. For this reason, they could see the slightest shift in her expression. Just now, Quasi-God Tian Xue''s brows had slightly creased as if she was very unhappy.


    "Boy, you''ve made Quasi-God Tian Xue unhappy!" A handsome and elegant man in black followed Quasi-God Tian Xue''s gaze and saw Zhao Feng, and a cold rebuke immediately left his mouth.


    "So it was that brat!" The other men gradually began to notice Zhao Feng, and hostility appeared in their eyes.


    At the same time, they felt some regret. They had lost such an excellent chance to show off in front of Quasi-God Tian Xue to the man in black.


    Zhao Feng said nothing. He never imagined that a shake of his head would cause such a stir.


    But this was the Exchange Spiritual Hall. This person could not attack him, so Zhao Feng didn''t feel like explaining.


    "Just who has made Quasi-God Tian Xue unhappy?"


    Several people came down from the second floor. The one who asked this question was a white-clothed youth with a smile on his proud face.


    The white-clothed youth followed the eyes of the crowd and quickly found Zhao Feng.


    "Quasi-God Jian Feng, is this also considered luck?" Zhao Feng helplessly smiled.


    Quasi-God Jian Feng''s eyes froze, and then he gave an embarrassed laugh.


    ¡­because this white-clothed youth was Hou Qing of the Sky Water Yao Race.


    "It''s you!" Hou Qing''s eyes turned gloomy, and his entire body began to shake in rage.


    Back then, Zhao Feng had not only defeated him in front of so many people, but he was even taken hostage. In the end, Zhao Feng was forced to flee into the Forest of Death.


    To his surprise, the Death mist in the Forest of Death had suddenly dispersed. Perhaps it was exactly this that allowed Zhao Feng to survive.


    "Hou Qing, what''s wrong?" an aloof man of bewitching beauty standing next to Hou Qing whispered.


    "Quasi-God Lin Guang of the Sky Water Yao Race!"


    Everyone instantly focused on the man standing next to Hou Qing.


    Hou Qing truly was a genius of the Sky Water Yao Race, but the strongest genius of the Sky Water Yao Race was Quasi-God Lin Guang, ranked seventeenth on the Quasi-God Ranking.


    "I didn''t think that Quasi-God Lin Guang would also come!" A desire to fight flickered through Quasi-God Jian Feng''s eyes.


    Yet another one of the top twenty Quasi-Gods had appeared.


    "He was the one from the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension¡­" Hou Qing naturally wouldn''t explain the matter out loud. Instead, he messaged Lin Guang.


    "Hmph!" Upon receiving Hou Qing''s message, Quasi-God Lin Guang gave a cold snort, and the surrounding air instantly became cold and gloomy.


    However, since this was an Exchange Spiritual Hall belonging to Stellar Tower and Quasi-God Tian Xue was also present, Quasi-God Lin Guang naturally did not attack.


    "Haha, this brat has offended quite a lot of people!"


    "Has he also come to participate in the Gulong Martial Gathering? After offending Quasi-God Lin Guang, he probably won''t even dare to step onto the fighting stage!"


    The surrounding Quasi-Gods couldn''t help but gloat at Zhao Feng''s misfortune.

 1219 Cultivation Pagoda

    Chapter 1219 - Cultivation Pagoda


    The appearance of the Sky Water Yao Race sapped Zhao Feng and Quasi-God Jian Feng of all their appetite. After sampling a few of the dishes made from the creatures of the deep sea, Zhao Feng''s group left.


    "There''s still some time until the Gulong Martial Gathering. What does Brother Zhao plan on doing?" Quasi-God Jian Feng asked.


    He had been the one to suggest going to Sea Pearl Tower, not knowing that the people from the Sky Water Yao Race would show up.


    The Sky Water Yao Race didn''t dare to do anything to Zhao Feng right now, but there were no guarantees once the martial gathering was over.


    "I plan to find a place to stay and firm up my foundations," Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    The Gulong Martial Gathering posed no difficulty to Zhao Feng. He was confident in defeating even Quasi-God Tian Xue.


    But Zhao Feng''s foes did not consist of just these Quasi-Gods. For example, the entire Sky Water Yao Race had its eyes on Zhao Feng, and Han Ning''er was wanted by Yellow Dragon Pavilion.


    Fortunately, this martial gathering is being organized by two Quasi-Gods and isn''t being watched too much. The Sky Water Yao Race only sent a Rank Five True God to protect its Quasi-God disciples, Zhao Feng mentally noted.


    Only after coming here did Zhao Feng understand that the powerful factions had only sent the second-rate prodigies of their race, such as the Sky Haze Race''s Quasi-God Jian Feng.


    The strongest genius of the Sky Haze Race was also an individual on the Quasi-God Ranking. This person was probably receiving the best training the race could provide so that they could attain an even higher ranking in the future Quasi-God Ranking Competition.


    With that in mind, even half of the top twenty Quasi-Gods showing up in this Gulong Martial Gathering would be quite impressive. The majority were not necessarily guaranteed to show up.


    "Then Brother Zhao should pay a visit to the Cultivation Pagoda!" Quasi-God Jian Feng immediately suggested.


    "Cultivation Pagoda?" A look of curiosity appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    "A few of the higher-level Exchange Spiritual Halls have Cultivation Pagodas: places specifically built for martial artists to enter secluded cultivation. Each chamber of a Cultivation Pagoda is its own Little World. There are various environments available to choose from, and you can even adjust conditions like gravity and temperature. The even more advanced chambers were opened up by experts skilled in Time Intent. Two days spent cultivating in there is equivalent to just one day in the outside world." Quasi-God Jian Feng knew that Zhao Feng might have never heard of Cultivation Pagodas before and gave him a detailed explanation.


    "Let''s go and take a look!"


    Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Robe was already the best cultivation dimension, but Zhao Feng was extremely interested in these Cultivation Pagodas Jian Feng spoke of and wanted to experience them for himself.


    Zhao Feng''s group set off for the Cultivation Pagoda.


    It was an enormous and mystical pagoda built in an ancient style. In terms of height, this pagoda could be considered one of the tallest buildings in the area. In addition, the pagoda was shrouded in a formidable array that cut off the probing of Divine Sense.


    "Good Sirs, the chambers of the first six floors of the Cultivation Pagoda are already occupied." An alluring maiden dressed in green standing at the entrance to the Cultivation Pagoda spoke, a smile on her face.


    "Brother Zhao, the Cultivation Pagoda has nine floors in total. The first six floors don''t have any chambers with Time Intent. From the seventh floor and up, all the chambers have Time Intent, and if you cultivate on the ninth floor, five days is equivalent to only one day on the outside world." Quasi-God Jian Feng was extremely familiar with the Cultivation Pagoda.


    The Sky Haze Race itself had a Cultivation Pagoda, and its effects were even better than this one.


    Zhao Feng froze for a moment. In his Spacetime Robe, time flowed ten times slower than it did on the outside world. Ten days in the Spacetime Robe was equivalent to one day on the outside!


    "A cultivation chamber on the seventh floor costs one hundred low-quality God Crystals for one month." Seeing how familiar Quasi-God Jian Feng was with the Cultivation Pagodas, the green-clothed woman knew that this was a genius from a major faction, and her smile became even more dazzling.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, God Crystals were divided into substandard quality, low quality, average quality, high quality, and supreme quality. From substandard all the way to high quality, the exchange rate between qualities was always 100 to 1. As for supreme-quality God Crystals, these were extremely rare in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. As the highest quality of God Crystals, they were essentially priceless. Not even one million high-quality God Crystals were guaranteed to exchange for one supreme-quality God Crystal.


    "Then I''ll go to the seventh floor," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    Zhao Feng owned a low-quality God Crystal mine in the Ancient Dream Realm, so this amount of God Crystals meant nothing to him.


    "Brother Zhao, I still have other business, so I won''t keep you company." Quasi-God Jian Feng appeared to have little interest in the Cultivation Pagoda. Of course, it might also have been because Quasi-God Jian Feng wanted to meet some other Quasi-God prodigies before the Gulong Martial Gathering began.


    "That''s fine. I''ll entrust my little sister to you, Quasi-God Jian Feng!" After thinking for a few moments, Zhao Feng decided to leave Han Ning''er with Quasi-God Jian Feng for a while.


    "May I ask how long this guest plans to cultivate?" the woman in green asked.


    "One month." Zhao Feng paid the fee of one hundred low-quality God Crystals, took a token, and headed into the Cultivation Pagoda.


    On the first floor, the one hundred cultivation chambers were all shut. Two or three people were standing by almost every door, apparently to fight for the spot when it became available.


    Zhao Feng saw a similar situation on the second floor. It was only on the sixth floor that Zhao Feng saw only three people waiting around.


    Zhao Feng ascended to the seventh floor. There were only twenty cultivation chambers on the seventh floor, three of which were available.


    Zhao Feng went to one of the open chambers and inserted his token into a groove next to the door.


    Bzzzz!


    A screen of light appeared in front of Zhao Feng. From this, Zhao Feng could choose the environment, gravity, temperature, and other conditions of the chamber.


    After randomly picking an environment, Zhao Feng entered the cultivation chamber. After all, Zhao Feng had only come to look around. For actual cultivation, the dimension within the Spacetime Robe was far superior.


    "It really is rather nice. If I didn''t have the Spacetime Robe, I would definitely choose to cultivate in the Exchange Spiritual Hall''s Cultivation Pagoda!" Zhao Feng looked around at this dimension built specifically for cultivating and concluded.


    Almost all the major factions had secret cultivation dimensions like this. This was why the many races of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods so desperately fought to enter the ranks of the major factions. The more powerful factions had more revered statuses and would receive better treatment when it came to cultivation and resources.


    "I wonder if I can layer the effects of the Spacetime Robe on top of this dimension!"


    If the time flow of the cultivation chamber could be overlapped with the time flow of the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng would be able to cultivate for even longer.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng activated the God''s Spiritual Eye and scanned every inch of this Little World. After ensuring that there was nothing suspicious, Zhao Feng took out the Spacetime Robe.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe Dimension. Above him was a vast and mysterious sky of stars and below him was a gray stone slab covered in runes.


    "They don''t overlap¡­." Zhao Feng used his Time Intent to obtain this conclusion.


    "Master, I''ve already recovered to the level of a Rank Three True God!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon excitedly called out from nearby. At its peak, it was a Rank Six True God. It was not very far from returning to this state.


    Zhao Wang, Zhao Hui, and the little thieving cat were also present in this space.


    "I wonder how Zhao Wan is doing with the expansion in the Ancient Dream Realm?" Zhao Feng muttered.


    He currently had three clones. Zhao Wang needed time to refine the Staff of Death Curse and suppress its evil influences. Meanwhile, Zhao Hui needed to cultivate the Dao of Medicine. So much time was needed to establish his theoretical knowledge base that he no time for anything else. Thus, Zhao Feng had sent Zhao Wan to expand his territory in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    It was a blessing that he had the Ancient Dream Realm. Otherwise, he would have never had the resources for his entire group to cultivate.


    "The little thieving cat is about to break through into the Heavenly Divine Realm!" Zhao Feng murmured in surprise.


    The little thieving cat was currently taking a nap on the floor, but Zhao Feng knew that it was cultivating.


    The little thieving cat''s true fighting power was not that impressive, so Zhao Feng really didn''t know what rank of True God it would be able to reach.


    Thud!


    Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged on the floor and began to cultivate.


    "Five Elements Become One, the 11th level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, requires fewer resources, but it places more importance on one''s comprehensive ability. Those without enough talent might never be able to reach the next level!"


    After taking out many cultivating resources, Zhao Feng began to circulate the technique and absorb the energy within the resources. At the same time, Zhao Feng sent his mind into the Divine Power Vortex, immersing it in the world of Five Elements Divine Power.


    "I''ve already reached the late stage of Five Elements Become One!" Zhao Feng felt a little satisfied with himself.


    Zhao Wan had the Eye of Myriad Forms. As long as he was cultivating, Zhao Feng would be able to comprehend a great deal about Five Elements energy. For this reason, Zhao Feng''s fusion with Five Elements Divine Power proceeded at almost divine speeds.


    When Zhao Feng completely fused the Five Elements Divine Power and reached the peak stage, Zhao Feng''s Five Elements Divine Power would be equivalent to the Divine Power of a Rank Four True God.


    While cultivating the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, Zhao Feng was also tempering his Sacred Lightning Body, studying the Soul Splitting Technique, absorbing the God Tribulation energy of the Lightning God Crystals, and other such tasks.


    While the power of Tribulation Lightning was fatal to experts below the True God level, it could only pose somewhat of a threat to True Gods.


    However, Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning power seemed to grow stronger as he matured. There could be only one reason for this ¨C Zhao Feng was about to comprehend Destruction Intent.


    The source of the God Tribulation was Destruction Intent. Thus, the power of Tribulation Lightning was also decided by its Destruction Intent.


    Time slowly passed. There were still thirty days until the Gulong Martial Gathering, which meant that Zhao Feng could spend three hundred days cultivating in the Spacetime Robe.


    Zhao Feng had been so busy ever since he left Sky Feather Island that he never found a chance to properly cultivate. It had been a long time since he entered secluded cultivation.


    Perhaps it was precisely because this was the case that Zhao Feng found this cultivation session to be proceeding much more smoothly, with many barriers swiftly being cleared away.


    ¡­


    While Zhao Feng was in the territory of Stellar Tower preparing for the Gulong Martial Gathering, an uninvited guest arrived at the territory of the Golden Jade Race.


    Kaboom!


    The skies over the territory of the Golden Jade Race were gloomy, and the howls of demons and monsters resounded through the air.


    "Your Excellency, what matter brings you here?" An elder whose body was made of transparent gold and jade immediately stepped forward.


    "Patriarch!" All the members of the Golden Jade Race immediately kneeled.


    This elder was the patriarch of the Golden Jade Race, a Rank Seven Ancient God. To everyone''s surprise, their patriarch meekly bowed before this uninvited guest.


    In front of the Golden Jade Race Patriarch was a middle-aged man with pitch-black skin that was covered in monstrous and bewitching violet tattoos. He had a cold and aloof expression as if he was looking down upon all living beings.


    This man was the one sent out by the Ancient Soul Hall to seek out the Ancient God Seal, Ancient God Black Heaven!


    "Have any of you seen this object?" A screen of light appeared next to Ancient God Black Heaven, on which the image of a black metal triangle covered with complicated green patterns emerged.


    Everyone indicated that they had never seen such a thing.


    Ancient God Black Heaven took his leave of the Golden Jade Race, but he continued to travel around its territory.


    "Just what sort of item was that? The Ancient Soul Hall even personally sent out an Ancient God!" The Golden Jade Race Patriarch sighed in shock.


    The zone in which the Ancient Soul Hall was located was extremely far from this zone, but in its golden age, the Ancient Soul Hall had been the strongest five-star faction in all of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Even though it was no longer at its most flourishing, it was still an extremely terrifying existence amongst the five-star factions.

 1220 The Martial Gathering Begins

    Chapter 1220 - The Martial Gathering Begins


    "The martial gathering is about to begin!" Zhao Feng opened his eyes and left the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    Twenty-four days had passed in the outside world, but Zhao Feng had spent two hundred forty days cultivating in the Spacetime Robe Dimension. In these two hundred-some days, he had made even further progress in the Five Elements Become One level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique; Zhao Feng''s Five Elements Intent and Wind Lightning Intent had all reached Level Two.


    His Space Intent was only a sliver away from reaching Level Three, but Time Intent was far too mysterious, and Zhao Feng had not placed any particular focus on comprehending it, so his progress on that front was slower.


    Upon leaving the cultivation chamber, Zhao Feng realized that there were now ten vacant chambers on the seventh floor.


    Zhao Feng left the Cultivation Pagoda and used a message token to communicate with Han Ning''er. Soon after, Zhao Feng met up with the Sky Haze Race group.


    "Brother Zhao, if you were a little later, you would have missed the Gulong Martial Gathering!" Quasi-God Jian Feng teased.


    "My apologies. I got lost in cultivation," Zhao Feng explained.


    Quasi-God Jian Feng said nothing more. Zhao Feng might have been experiencing the chambers of the Cultivation Pagoda for the first time and became so immersed in cultivation that he lost track of time.


    "Who is he?" Zhao Feng''s gaze landed on a youth standing next to Han Ning''er.


    "He''s my senior brother," Han Ning''er softly said.


    Secretly, Han Ning''er messaged Zhao Feng; "To cover my escape, the Gate Master sent out many other members of the Gate. The majority of them were captured and executed by Yellow Dragon Pavilion, but he was fortunate enough to escape. I ran into him in the Exchange Spiritual Hall and wanted to take him with us to the Ziling Zone."


    Of the people the Gate Master had sent out to cover Han Ning''er''s tracks, many of them were members of the Gate Master''s own bloodline. These people were all sacrifices made for Han Ning''er''s sake, so Han Ning''er felt ashamed to face them. Thus, when she ran into this senior brother of hers, she planned to bring him with her to the Ziling Zone, but this required Zhao Feng''s agreement.


    "Oh?" Understanding the reason, Zhao Feng stared even harder at this youth.


    The youth couldn''t help but look at Zhao Feng''s golden left eye.


    Bzzzz!


    He felt like his soul was sinking into it, unable to escape. He felt like everything about himself, including his innermost thoughts, had been seen through by Zhao Feng.


    A hint of shame inadvertently appeared in the youth''s eyes.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng''s left eye turned away from him.


    "Greetings! I am Han Ning''er''s senior brother!" The youth averted his gaze, not daring to meet Zhao Feng''s eyes again.


    The other people present also noticed the peculiar situation just now. It was only now that they noticed Zhao Feng''s eyes, which seemed to belong to some unique bloodline. However, just based on the traits of this eye, they were not able to determine any specific bloodline.


    "Han Ning''er, this person was sent by Yellow Dragon Pavilion. Your whereabouts have been exposed!" Zhao Feng silently messaged Han Ning''er.


    This person had only reached the Demigod level, and he had a poor personality, so Zhao Feng was able to use illusion arts to affect his mind. Moreover, Zhao Feng''s left eye also noticed the Soul Intent of a powerful True God on this youth''s body; it was clear that his life was under the control of another.


    The people of Yellow Dragon Pavilion knew that finding a single person in the Gulong Zone was far too difficult. Thus, Yellow Dragon Pavilion had enslaved many people of Spirit Grass Gate and had them wander around the nearby territories.


    Just as they expected, Han Ning''er saw someone from Spirit Grass Gate and went up to speak with them. It probably wasn''t too long ago that Han Ning''er''s senior brother had secretly sent the information of her location to Yellow Dragon Pavilion.


    "No, how could that be?" Han Ning''er naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Feng''s words, but she didn''t believe that her senior brother would do such a thing.


    "Quasi-God Jian Feng, where do you plan to go once the Gulong Martial Gathering is over?" Zhao Feng inquired.


    "Once the Gulong Martial Gathering is over, the Gulong Zone Quasi-God Ranking Competition will start soon afterward, so I''m prepared to return to the race and enter secluded cultivation!" Quasi-God Jian Feng''s eyes burned with the will to fight. His goal was the top twenty of the Quasi-God Ranking.


    Zhao Feng nodded. If there was no other way, he could only bring Han Ning''er with him and temporarily take shelter with the Sky Haze Race. Of course, if he had a chance, Zhao Feng could also form a relationship with some other powerful faction during the martial gathering.


    One day later¡­


    The Exchange Spiritual Hall was almost empty of people. The Sky Haze Race and Zhao Feng''s group had also headed off for Five Star Mountain.


    "Brother Zhao, I hear that six prodigies of the Quasi-God Ranking have come to the Gulong Martial Gathering!" Quasi-God Jian Feng was extremely excited, and he was itching to fight.


    Other than the organizers ¨C Quasi-Gods Zi Feng and Tian Xue ¨C and the Quasi-God that Zhao Feng met earlier ¨C Quasi-God Lin Guang ¨C three other geniuses of the Quasi-God Ranking were taking part in this martial gathering. These six were essentially the six strongest people at this martial gathering, as well as the six that every other Quasi-God prodigy wanted to challenge.


    Five days later, everyone arrived at Five Star Mountain.


    The pavilions and towers built upon the five corners were packed with people. These people either belonged to some major faction or possessed incredible power in their own right.


    Cultivators at the Demigod level or below who did not have the backing of a major faction could only remain on the perimeter of Five Star Mountain.


    "Let''s go." The Sky Haze Race group flew to a pavilion on one of the mountains.


    "That brat came!" Hou Qing immediately focused on Zhao Feng. In this martial gathering, he cared for nothing else except humiliating Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng¡­!" Quasi-God Di Lin of the Golden Jade Race stared in shock.


    When leaving the Golden Jade Race, he had run into Zhao Feng, but he lost him soon afterward. Little did he think that he would run into Zhao Feng again at the martial gathering.


    But he felt no joy at this encounter, as Zhao Feng was with people from the Sky Haze Race. Although Quasi-God Jian Feng next to Zhao Feng was not an individual on the Quasi-God Ranking, he was still a rather famed Quasi-God genius of the Gulong Zone.


    At the same time, more than half of the young Quasi-Gods present stared at Zhao Feng, their eyes clearly glowing with hostility.


    "I hear that this brat disrespected Quasi-God Tian Xue!"


    "It was that golden-haired rascal who provoked Quasi-God Tian Xue? During the martial gathering, I''ll let him get a good look!"


    Many young Quasi-Gods on Five Star Mountain discussed Zhao Feng as they shot loathsome glares at him.


    It was clear that the matter of Zhao Feng displeasing Quasi-God Tian Xue had spread far and wide, and it only became more exaggerated the more it spread. In truth, all Zhao Feng did was slightly shake his head when looking in Quasi-God Tian Xue''s direction.


    "Quasi-God Tian Xue, did someone offend you?" a handsome youth dressed in a violet robe, his body exuding a violet glow, asked in concern.


    Quasi-God Tian Xue might have been ranked seventh on the Gulong Zone Quasi-God Ranking, but in looks, she was definitely number one. In the top twenty of the Gulong Zone Quasi-God Ranking, all the men wanted nothing more than to obtain Quasi-God Tian Xue''s favor. He ¨C Quasi-God Zi Feng ¨C was no exception.


    "No," Quasi-God Tian Xue indifferently replied.


    In truth, Zhao Feng could not really be considered to have offended her. He just slightly shook his head while looking at her. This was a great shock to Tian Xue and instinctively stimulated her disgust.


    "It must be that brat!" Quasi-God Zi Feng''s gaze fell upon Zhao Feng, and his lips curled with disdain.


    "Once the gathering begins, challenge that man and humiliate him for me!" Quasi-God Zi Feng messaged the Quasi-Gods standing behind him.


    As one of the organizers of this martial gathering and the fifth-ranked Quasi-God genius, Zi Feng naturally could not challenge Zhao Feng himself.


    "That is¡­?" Han Ning''er suddenly noticed several people on another mountain. These people were all True Gods, and the one leading them was none other than True God Zhongtu.


    "Zhao Feng spoke the truth!" Han Ning''er''s eyes instantly dimmed.


    Next to her, Han Ning''er''s senior brother noticed nothing at all.


    As night fell, more and more people gathered around Five Star Mountain.


    Suddenly, Quasi-God Tian Xue and Quasi-God Zi Feng stood up together. This action immediately caused an uproar


    "Quasi-God Tian Xue!"


    "That''s Quasi-God Zi Feng, the fifth-ranked prodigy on the Quasi-God Ranking!"


    Everyone''s eyes turned toward this pair. One was a supreme genius of the Gulong Zone while the other was the goddess that reigned supreme in everyone''s hearts.


    Upon standing, the pair announced the start of the Gulong Martial Gathering.


    Thump!


    A tall and thin figure next to Quasi-God Zi Feng immediately jumped onto the stage down below.


    "This one is Tao Jin of Violet Night Hall! Is there anyone here willing to exchange a few pointers?" The tall and thin figure scanned the crowd.


    Violet Night Hall was one of the Gulong Zone''s three five-star factions. Although Tao Jin didn''t have much of a reputation, given that he was a Quasi-God of Violet Night Hall and the first to step onto the stage, he could not possibly be a weakling.


    "Let me experience Brother Tao''s Illusion Wind Technique!" A muscular man with rough and dark yellow skin jumped down from another mountain.


    "Okay! I haven''t fought you in a while!" Tao Jin looked at this muscular man, his eyes brimming with the will to fight.


    It was clear that the two knew each other and often sparred.


    Bzzzz!


    Once the two of them stepped onto the stage, the protective array around the stage activated.


    "Three Strikes of Illusion Wind!" Tao Jin''s body exploded with dazzling violet light which transformed into countless gusts of illusory violet wind that circled the muscular man.


    Hwoooom!


    Suddenly, several hundred violet silhouettes attacked the muscular man from within this illusory wind.


    "Golden Tyrant Body!" The muscular man''s body suddenly grew twenty feet, and a pressure that could shake the heavens began to exert itself on the surroundings.


    However, these violet silhouettes were imbued with Wind Intent and were in harmony with the earth, minimizing the effects of this pressure.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two descended into a fierce clash, the fighting stage covered in violet silhouettes and dark yellow fists. The array around the stage blocked all the power of these attacks.


    "These two are both very strong!"


    "Of course. They''re both Quasi-God prodigies of major factions!"


    The spectators were all effusive with their praise.


    Tao Jin was a genius of a five-star faction while the other man was a member of a peak four-star faction. Both of them were extremely strong.


    "Endless Illusion Wind!" Tao Jin seemed to transform into an enormous illusion that struck the muscular man with a dreadful Wind energy that sent him flying to the edge of the stage.


    "I concede!"


    After his victory, Tao Jin left the stage. The martial gathering had a rule that the same person could not fight two battles in a row.


    With the first battle concluded, many Quasi-God geniuses were itching to fight and show off their own skills.


    Whoosh!


    In an astonishing flash of lightning, a white-clothed man appeared on the stage.


    "That''s Quasi-God Thundercry!"


    The faction behind Quasi-God Thundercry was weaker than the factions behind the previous two fighters, but in his four-and-a-half-star faction, Quasi-God Thundercry could be considered the most outstanding genius, and his reputation was not insignificant.


    "You, get down here!" Quasi-God Thundercry stared directly at Zhao Feng.


    "Me?" Zhao Feng was stunned. He didn''t expect to enter the stage so quickly.


    "Brother Zhao, it''s about time for you to show off your strength!" Quasi-God Jian Feng said with a smile. He wanted to witness just what level Zhao Feng had reached.


    "Haha, that rascal offended Quasi-God Tian Xue. You can''t even count the number of people who want to challenge him!"


    "Now that you mention it, just who is this golden-haired brat? I''ve never heard of him before!"


    The crowd was buzzing with chatter as they waited in expectation for this battle.

 1221 Zhao Feng Strikes

    Chapter 1221 - Zhao Feng Strikes


    In the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, Zhao Feng had offended the Golden Jade Race, the Blue Scaled Race, the Sky Water Yao Race, and the Spacetime Sacred Land. In addition, these factions had all lost out to Zhao Feng, a matter which they naturally wouldn''t brazenly announce. At most, they would secretly investigate him and put him on wanted lists.


    More than thirty factions of varying size were attending this Gulong Martial Gathering, but very few of them recognized Zhao Feng.


    Even though this was the case, Zhao Feng''s current reputation was no less than that of a genius from a peak four-star faction. More people wanted to challenge him than those who wanted to challenge the geniuses of the Quasi-God Ranking.


    "Quasi-God Thundercry got him first!" Quasi-God Mo Gui unhappily grumbled.


    However, Quasi-God Thundercry was quite strong. He was skilled in Lightning Intent and could unleash extremely powerful attacks.


    "No rush. Let''s have Quasi-God Thundercry test the waters," the Rank Four True God next to Mo Gui slowly said.


    "Those who bring disaster upon themselves can''t live long!" Quasi-God Di Lin shot a vicious glare at Zhao Feng. Although he was no match for Zhao Feng, he could tell that many other Quasi-God geniuses were showing clear hostility to Zhao Feng.


    Meanwhile, the three True God experts from Yellow Dragon Pavilion had been keeping a close watch on Zhao Feng''s group this entire time.


    "That girl wearing the veil is Han Ning''er!" True God Zhongtu said with a gloomy expression.


    "We can''t let her go to the Ziling Zone!" Another True God spoke with a tone that would accept no objection.


    The Ziling Zone was a zone where the Dao of Medicine reigned supreme. The ruling faction was the Life Sacred Land, and of the four major five-star factions, two of them specialized in the Dao of Medicine.


    If Han Ning''er was allowed to reach the Ziling Zone, her Eye of Life would allow her to very easily enter a peak four-star faction. If her luck was good, she might even end up being favored by a five-star faction.


    "That lad was the one who took Han Ning''er and killed a Rank Three True God?" A True God expert next to True God Zhongtu stared at Zhao Feng, disbelief in his eyes.


    Whoosh!


    At this moment, Zhao Feng descended onto the fighting stage.


    "I am Quasi-God Thundercry. Who are you? State your name!" Quasi-God Thundercry coldly glared at Zhao Feng.


    "I am the person who will defeat you," Zhao Feng replied with a carefree smile.


    "Good!" Quasi-God Thundercry''s face turned wrathful as he spat out this single word.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Two balls of lightning immediately condensed in Quasi-God Thundercry''s hands, both of them crackling with savage arcs of electricity.


    "Heavens! Quasi-God Thundercry has reached Level Two Lightning Intent!" Gasps of shock rose from the spectating crowd.


    Quasi-Gods who could comprehend even a Level One Intent became well-known among the other Quasi-Gods, and Quasi-God Thundercry actually managed to reach Level Two in Lightning Intent.


    "That golden-haired brat probably won''t even last five moves against Quasi-God Thundercry!"


    Quite a few people gloated at the thought of Zhao Feng''s defeat.


    Lightning Intent could be said to be the offensive Intent with the greatest capacity for damage. Zhao Feng had acted so arrogantly just now, so wouldn''t it be completely humiliating if he couldn''t even last five moves against Quasi-God Thundercry?


    Boom! Hisss!


    Arcs of lightning crackled across the stage. Quasi-God Thundercry''s body seemed to transform into an enormous bolt of lightning, streaking through the dark sky.


    "Lightning Spike!" In a flash, Quasi-God Thundercry was behind Zhao Feng, his hands stabbing forward. Endless Lightning energy began to fuse with the balls of lightning in his hand, molding them into two spikes of electricity that flew at Zhao Feng.


    "Sacred Lightning Body." Zhao Feng activated the Sacred Lightning Body without even a flicker of emotion.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Five-colored lightning flowed around his body as a stifling pressure exerted itself on his surroundings.


    "Eh?" Quasi-God Thundercry let out a gasp of surprise.


    He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to be a body-strengthening expert in the Dao of Lightning. Moreover, Zhao Feng''s Lightning Intent had also reached Level Two.


    Zhao Feng''s body was extremely formidable; the pressure Quasi-God Thundercry felt made his entire body feel uncomfortable.


    However, Quasi-God Thundercry had no idea that Zhao Feng wasn''t even using his full strength. If Zhao Feng used his full power, not even Quasi-God Tian Xue would be a match for him, but he would cause far too much of a stir if he did this. Zhao Feng still had many enemies watching from the shadows, so he chose to keep his true fighting strength hidden.


    Bang!


    Quasi-God Thundercry''s lightning impacted against Zhao Feng''s body. After a brief clash between these two different kinds of lightning, Quasi-God Thundercry''s attack failed to harm Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng used his strength and Divine Power to create a five-colored lightning fist.


    "Haha, you want to hit me with an attack like that?" Quasi-God Thundercry moved like lightning as he backed up to avoid Zhao Feng''s attack.


    Booom!


    The dreadful clashing of lightning on the stage incessantly battered against the surrounding array. In this brief moment, the two of them exchanged multiple moves.


    As a Lightning Dao body-strengthening expert, Zhao Feng had a very high resistance to lightning. Meanwhile, Quasi-God Thundercry was extremely fast and was capable of dodging every one of Zhao Feng''s lethal attacks.


    The spectators never expected Zhao Feng to fight on such equal terms with Quasi-God Thundercry.


    Only Quasi-God Thundercry himself knew that he was in an extremely difficult situation. Every time he got close to Zhao Feng, he would feel an invisible pressure upon his body, and he had not been able to harm a single hair on Zhao Feng''s body.


    In addition, it might have appeared that he had dodged all of Zhao Feng''s attacks, but there would always be some ripples of strength imperceptible to the normal person that would strike his body.


    The more he fought, the more surprised Quasi-God Thundercry became. He was simply incapable of hurting Zhao Feng. And Zhao Feng seemed to be just playing with him, relaxed and content as he slowly shaved away at Quasi-God Thundercry''s strength.


    "Thousand Lightning Flash!" Quasi-God Thundercry clenched his teeth as his body exploded with waves of lightning. At the same time, the lightning crackling through the stage became even more dazzling as it began to revolve around Quasi-God Thundercry.


    "What''s going on? Quasi-God Thundercry is using the Thousand Lightning Flash!? He made his reputation on that technique!"


    "That golden-haired brat''s body might be too tough. Quasi-God Thundercry probably plans to use this attack to break straight through his defense and defeat him in one strike!"


    Quite a few people in the crowd were left confused by this development and began to speculate.


    In his pavilion, Quasi-God Zi Feng focused his gaze on Zhao Feng.


    "This brat''s strength isn''t bad." A look of surprise appeared on his face.


    "Break!" Quasi-God Thundercry howled as his entire body transformed into a searing bolt of lightning that shot toward Zhao Feng.


    "It''s about time to end this," Zhao Feng softly muttered, a relaxed expression on his face.


    Boom! Bang!


    The center of the stage exploded with arcs of lightning, making the dark night as bright as day. The lightning swiftly dissipated, and in the center of the stage, one person quietly stood: Zhao Feng.


    Quasi-God Thundercry was lying in front of Zhao Feng, his body scorched black and his aura weak.


    Boom!


    The crowd exploded into an uproar.


    "How? He lost?"


    "How did Quasi-God Thundercry lose?"


    Logically speaking, when Quasi-God Thundercry used Thousand Lightning Flash, Zhao Feng''s defeat should have been certain, but the result was the complete opposite. The lightning was too bright, so most of the crowd had no idea how Quasi-God Thundercry lost.


    Whoosh!


    A figure jumped down onto the stage: a True God from Quasi-God Thundercry''s faction.


    This elder shot Zhao Feng a vicious glare before taking Quasi-God Thundercry and leaving.


    "That boy''s skin is too thick, his flesh too tough. Otherwise, he would have been the one to lose!"


    In the end, the crowd attributed Zhao Feng''s victory to the fact that he was a Lightning Dao body-strengthening expert, a direct counter to Quasi-God Thundercry.


    With this battle over, Zhao Feng returned to the Sky Haze Race group.


    "Brother Zhao, you were hiding your strength?" Quasi-God Jian Feng asked in confusion.


    In Zhao Feng''s battle with Hou Qing, his Lightning energy was very strong, but in the battle just now, Zhao Feng didn''t show a particularly impressive level of power. This could only mean that Zhao Feng was hiding his strength.


    "Mm." Zhao Feng nodded, but he didn''t say anymore.


    "I want to challenge Quasi-God Jin Zhen!" The stage shook as a youth with a dark yellow body, a sharply outlined face, and healthy complexion appeared.


    The Quasi-God Jin Zhen he wanted to challenge was ranked twentieth on the Quasi-God Ranking.


    "Someone who wants to challenge a prodigy of the Quasi-God Ranking has already appeared!"


    The crowd instantly grew excited.


    "Hmph, if you want to challenge Quasi-God Jin Zhen, you''ll have to get past me first!" A golden-clothed figure rushed out from the faction that Quasi-God Jin Zhen belonged to.


    Many geniuses had come to the Gulong Martial Gathering to challenge the prodigies of the Quasi-God Ranking. However, these prodigies were not willing to take every challenger, so they employed this strategy.


    If someone challenged a prodigy of the Quasi-God Ranking, the faction that the prodigy belonged to would send someone else to meet the challenger first. Only after defeating this individual would the challenger have the right to fight the Quasi-God Ranking prodigy.


    "Okay! I''ll warm myself up with you!" The youth with dark yellow skin began to swell with strength, and a cloud of dark yellow dust began to shroud the stage.


    "This is¡­?" The golden-clothed youth was astonished. He could sense that his opponent had seemingly taken control of nature and that he was currently being weakened by an enormous pressure.


    "Golden Radiance Slash!" The golden-clothed youth fired off a sharp golden light that shot toward the man with yellow skin.


    "Eat my fist!" The yellow-skinned man drew upon Earth energy, causing yellow earth to orbit around his fists as he punched.


    "What dreadful strength!"


    After this exchange, the golden-clothed youth began to act more cautiously. This man with dark yellow skin was powerful, and his defense was impressive. Even his Metal Dao attacks would find it very challenging to break through.


    The spectators also began to pay attention to this yellow-skinned man. It was already quite extraordinary that he was able to fight on equal terms with another genius from Quasi-God Jin Zhen''s faction.


    "Could this person be the genius that the Submerged Dragon Sect discovered several years ago?"


    "I heard that he has a mutant ancient bloodline!"


    With so many people in the crowd, there were inevitably some people who knew the background of this yellow-skinned man.


    "A mutant ancient bloodline?" This news sent a shock through the crowd.


    As the various races intermarried, mutations in ancient bloodlines would sometimes occur. There were good and bad mutations, but the man with dark yellow skin had clearly inherited a good mutation.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The match on stage was getting more and more intense. The golden-clothed youth was gradually losing ground and was even beginning to shy away from direct conflict.


    "I''d like to see where you can run!" The yellow-skinned man loudly laughed. Circulating the strength of his unique bloodline, he slammed his palms against the ground.


    Brrrooom!


    The dark yellow earth on stage instantly began to gather, creating tall walls of earth that surrounded the two fighters.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The walls of earth completely obscured their battle. Only those with powerful Divine Sense could see through these walls formed from that special bloodline power to observe the battle within.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng activated the see-through abilities of his left eye. In a flash, everything before Zhao Feng turned into a world of golden particles. Zhao Feng could now see through the earthen walls.


    But Zhao Feng''s expression suddenly shifted as his gaze dropped down below the fighting stage.


    There''s someone underground!?


    His mind reeling in shock, Zhao Feng used his left eye to see what was going on.

 1222 The Secret Beneath the Earth

    Chapter 1222 - The Secret Beneath the Earth


    Zhao Feng had completely forgotten about the battle taking place on stage. His eyes were focused entirely deep underground.


    Deep below the earth, a man with black skin was seated cross-legged before a stone door, a round disc in his hand.


    There appeared to be some sort of protective array upon the stone door. The core of this array was a pentagon, which poured out Five Elements energy into the rest of the array.


    Zhao Feng discovered that, when he swept his Divine Sense over it, he could not sense anything. However, his left eye was telling him that what he was looking at was real.


    It was clear that the black-skinned man had laid down some sort of concealing array.


    Just what''s behind that array?


    Zhao Feng was extremely curious. This person was taking enormous risks by trying to break the sealing array under the feet of so many Quasi-Gods and True Gods.


    What could be behind that door? It had to be worth all the danger. It didn''t take much thought to guess that there had to be some amazing treasure inside.


    I''m the only one who has realized this so far. I could wait until the end of the martial gathering to go, but I''m no match for him alone!


    Zhao Feng was rather troubled. This black-skinned man was very strong, at the level of at least a Rank Five True God. Even if Zhao Feng used every method at his disposal, he would still not be able to contend with that man if he went alone.


    But if he allowed everyone present to learn of this matter, he would find it very hard to get anything out of it, so doing that would be of no benefit to him.


    Perhaps I can collaborate with him? A crafty smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s lips.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    On the stage, the firm earthen walls suddenly exploded. The golden-clothed youth fell to the ground and did not rise.


    "Haha, next time, I can fight with Quasi-God Jin Zhen!" the yellow-skinned man excitedly called out.


    "He won!"


    "This means that, for his next bout, he has a chance to fight with a genius of the Quasi-God Ranking!"


    The crowd was in an uproar.


    The majority of them had no idea how the yellow-skinned man defeated the golden-clothed youth. However, they all anticipated the sight of a genius on the Quasi-God Ranking stepping onto the stage.


    After all, many of the Quasi-Gods present were intending to participate in the next Quasi-God Ranking Competition, and there was certainly no harm in having a reference.


    "Quasi-God Jin Zhen, you cannot treat this person lightly," a golden-robed elder next to Quasi-God Jin Zhen cautioned, his eyes twinkling with a sharp light.


    "This boy is a member of the Earth Rock Race, but his bloodline has mutated enough that he could rank in the top five hundred of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races," the golden-robed elder continued.


    "You''re looking down on me too much." Quasi-God Jin Zhen''s eyes were apathetic. He was extremely confident in himself.


    The Gulong Martial Gathering had a rule that one person could not fight two battles in a row. For this reason, once these two fighters left the stage, a crowd of people rushed to be next.


    Quasi-God Mo Gui was among this crowd, as were the people of the Sky Water Yao Race and some other Quasi-Gods who wanted to defeat Zhao Feng in front of Quasi-God Tian Xue in the hopes of winning her favor. Even Quasi-God Jian Feng was charging in.


    Whoosh!


    A figure dressed in white was the first to reach the stage.


    "I would like to request an instructive bout with Good Sir!" This white-clothed man stared at Zhao Feng and gave a wicked smile.


    This person was none other than Hou Qing of the Sky Water Yao Race!


    Last time, Zhao Feng had only been able to defeat and capture him because that scoundrel of a cat suddenly appeared and heavily injured him. Moreover, Hou Qing just witnessed Zhao Feng''s strength a moment ago and saw that it had not changed all that much.


    After his own defeat, Hou Qing had returned to his race and vigorously set about improving his strength. He had made major leaps and bounds in every aspect, and his power had soared. This time, he was absolutely confident that he could defeat Zhao Feng in a fair fight.


    "Another one is challenging him!"


    "I heard ages ago that this golden-haired boy had some sort of conflict with the Sky Water Yao Race!"


    Everyone once more focused on Zhao Feng.


    Although Hou Qing wasn''t the strongest in the Sky Water Yao Race, the Sky Water Yao Race was still a peak four-star faction. Thus, Hou Qing was probably much stronger than Quasi-God Thundercry.


    "Another one got there ahead of me. This time, he''s done for!" Quasi-God Mo Gui gave a sinister smile. Hou Qing was probably even stronger than he was. Zhao Feng''s defeat was assured.


    "You still dare to challenge me? It looks like you haven''t learned your lesson." Zhao Feng chuckled as he descended onto the stage.


    These words sent a shock through the spectators.


    "I didn''t think this golden-haired youth had already fought Hou Qing before!"


    "And it seems like it was Hou Qing that lost!"


    Most of the spectators here had no idea what sort of grudge existed between Zhao Feng and the Sky Water Yao Race.


    "You''re seeking death!" Hou Qing was thoroughly enraged by Zhao Feng''s words, and he immediately activated his bloodline and charged.


    He was so anxious to defeat and humiliate Zhao Feng that he activated his bloodline as soon as he could.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Hou Qing''s body became half-transparent liquid, floating in the air like a Water Yao Spirit. Under his feet, a whirlpool of wind and water began to spin.


    Boom! Swoosh!


    As he moved, the whirlpool under Hou Qing''s feet grew larger and larger, the power contained within it more dreadful than ever.


    "Hou Qing''s Wind Water Intent has already reached Level Two!" Quasi-God Lin Guang waved his fan and gave a slight nod of approval.


    It appeared that Hou Qing had been so provoked by the way Zhao Feng had treated him¡ªso driven to become stronger¡ªthat all his potential was unleashed.


    "Die!" Hou Qing stepped onto the whirlpool of wind and water and charged at Zhao Feng.


    From a distance, Zhao Feng could feel the suction and grinding force on his body.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng had already activated the Sacred Lightning Body, but this time, he unleashed even more of its power.


    "Physical Force Lightning Domain!"


    A domain of physical force formed from five-colored lightning emerged from Zhao Feng''s Sacred Lightning Body and engulfed Hou Qing.


    Hou Qing immediately began to slow down.


    Crackle! Hisss!


    The five-colored lightning collided with Hou Qing''s Wind Water energy, the two of them neutralizing each other.


    "Shatter!" Hou Qing circulated his Wind Water Divine Power, and the whirlpool under him immediately grew even more frenzied.


    Boom! Bang!


    The grinding power of the whirlpool crushed the Physical Force Lightning Domain.


    Deep below the earth, the black-skinned man was greatly unsettled by the battle taking place above him.


    "When will this Gulong Martial Gathering end!?" The black-skinned man dearly wished that this Gulong Martial Gathering would end a little early.


    At this moment, the black-skinned man suddenly grimaced in shock ¨C a faint voice spoke in his mind.


    "Greetings! Can we work together?" Zhao Feng''s voice spoke.


    "Who are you!?" The black-skinned man''s expression contorted. He never expected someone to discover him.


    "I''m fighting right above. I''ve come to work together with you!" Zhao Feng chuckled.


    "Split the treasure behind the seal with me, or else I''ll tell everyone here about this secret!" Zhao Feng continued.


    "If you do that, you won''t gain anything from it. Moreover, if you tell everyone about this matter, they will wonder how you knew what was going on down here in the first place. If I were to claim that you were with me, they won''t let you go!" The black-skinned man slowly composed himself and messaged Zhao Feng back.


    Zhao Feng was a mere Quasi-God. He was getting a little ahead of himself if he thought that he could get an equal share of the Five Elements God Lord''s treasure.


    "I can just break the array ahead of time. Then, everyone will know, and no one will suspect me!" Zhao Feng messaged back.


    "Do you even have the skill?" The black-skinned man jeered.


    Zhao Feng was currently in the middle of battle. How could he possibly break the array without anyone noticing?


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    On the stage, the battle between Hou Qing and Zhao Feng had reached a fever pitch.


    "Water Slaughtering Screen!" Hou Qing clenched one of his hands, and two enormous whirlpools of wind and water immediately appeared to Zhao Feng''s left and right and began to close in to grind him into a paste.


    "You''re very strong! I''ll have to use my full strength!" Zhao Feng suddenly proclaimed.


    "Full strength?" Hou Qing was taken aback.


    Of course, he had guessed that Zhao Feng was holding back in his earlier battle. But anyone would have some trump cards that they would only use when absolutely necessary. Hou Qing was no different.


    The crowd became even more excited. They were paying more attention to Zhao Feng than they would to a prodigy of the Quasi-God Ranking. If Zhao Feng said that he would now use his full strength, they naturally wanted to see just how strong he truly was!


    Swish!


    Flashing five-colored lightning began to surge out of Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng used Five Elements Divine Power to fire off two palms of five-colored lightning to his left and right.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two enormous whirlpools were pulverized.


    "This is¡­ Five Elements Intent!" Hou Qing''s expression froze as if he had been given a heavy blow.


    In his first defeat, Zhao Feng did not possess any Intent energy while he was on the verge of reaching Level One in Wind Water Intent. But now, when his Wind Water Intent had reached Level Two, Zhao Feng had already comprehended Five Elements Intent. Even though each individual Intent of Zhao Feng''s Five Elements Intent was only at Level One, their combined might far surpassed his Level Two Wind Water Intent.


    "Hou Qing, I beat you last time, and this time, with my full strength, I can still defeat you!" Zhao Feng gave a smug smile and charged at Hou Qing with his Five Elements Divine Power.


    Although Zhao Feng was claiming that he was using his full strength, he was still actually holding most of it back. For example, Zhao Feng had actually reached Level Two in each element of the Five Elements Intent, but he was acting as if he had only reached Level One.


    "No! I must win!" Hou Qing was so affected that he lost control of his emotions.


    Kaboom!


    Hou Qing pushed his bloodline to the limit, burning up his Divine Power to transform into a monstrous Yao from the ocean.


    "Slaughtering Whirlpool!" With a savage expression, Hou Qing sank entirely into the whirlpool under his feet.


    Hwooom!


    The enormous whirlpool of wind and water now occupied more than half the stage, the Wind Water energy inside of it in frenzied agitation.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated the Five Elements Divine Power, borrowing the energy of the world to fire off an enormous mountain of five-colored lightning.


    Boom! Bang!


    This single palm forced Hou Qing out of the whirlpool.


    Zhao Feng circulated his Five Elements Divine Power and charged forward again.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    After a few clashes, Hou Qing was clearly losing ground.


    "He''s losing! Hou Qing is going to lose!"


    "I didn''t think that this golden-haired youth would have comprehended Five Elements Intent, and he''s reached such a terrifying level in each Intent. With his strength, he could enter the Quasi-God Ranking!"


    The spectators chattered among each other.


    In this world, the strong were revered. If one was strong enough, they were allowed to do anything. Zhao Feng''s display of power had won their acknowledgment. There even some factions whose True Gods were beginning to think about bringing Zhao Feng to their side.


    But none of them knew that, deep underground, there was a person who was far more agitated than any of them.


    "Five Elements Intent!" The black-skinned man was utterly dumbfounded.


    When Zhao Feng used Five Elements Intent, he absorbed the Five Elements energy of the surrounding world. The Five Elements energy of the array in front of him was naturally no exception.


    If Zhao Feng continued to absorb the surrounding Five Elements energy, it would definitely affect the array and cause it to be broken early.


    "Slow down! I agree to work with you! Stop right now!" the black-skinned man helplessly messaged Zhao Feng.

 1223 Agreement Reached

    Chapter 1223 - Agreement Reached


    "Slow down! I agree to work with you! Stop right now!" the black-skinned man helplessly messaged Zhao Feng.


    He could not permit Zhao Feng to absorb any more of the surrounding Five Elements energy. Otherwise, the array would break early, and everything would be exposed. Besides, Zhao Feng was just an ordinary Quasi-God, so even if they worked together, the black-skinned man would still hold the initiative.


    On the fighting stage, Zhao Feng''s lips curled upward.


    Hou Qing, who was being constantly pushed back by Zhao Feng, was depressed and enraged by this faint smile.


    Hou Qing was the one who stepped on stage and invited Zhao Feng for a fight. He had believed that he would leave victorious, washing away the shame and humiliation from their first encounter.


    But the result was yet another miserable defeat.


    Whoosh!


    The five-colored lightning on Zhao Feng''s body slowly receded. Now that the black-skinned man had agreed to work with him, Zhao Feng no longer needed to continue using Five Elements Intent.


    In addition, Hou Qing''s bloodline energy was exhausted and his body was heavily wounded. Even without the use of Five Elements Intent, Hou Qing was no longer able to put up a fight.


    In one of the pavilions around the stage, a youth dressed in robes of light red was the center of attention.


    "Quasi-God Gui Yi, he''s like you ¨C an expert of Five Elements Intent!" A cute and witty woman standing to the red-robed youth giggled.


    "How could that boy compare to Quasi-God Gui Yi, twelfth on the Quasi-God Ranking!?" a person nearby immediately replied with a laugh.


    Six members of the Quasi-God Ranking had come to this Gulong Martial Gathering. Quasi-God Gui Yi was the prodigy ranked twelfth on the Quasi-God Ranking.


    "Each part of his Five Elements Intent is only at Level One, but I''ve already raised two of my Intents to Level Two. My proficiency in using Five Elements Intent is also superior," Quasi-God Gui Yi spoke with a casual tone that oozed absolute confidence.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    On the stage, Zhao Feng relied on his formidable physical strength alone to suppress Hou Qing.


    "Hou Qing, just concede. You''re no match for him!" Many members of the Sky Water Yao Race secretly messaged Hou Qing, advising him to concede.


    On the stage, Hou Qing lowered his head and conceded. Going any longer wouldn''t let him defeat Zhao Feng, but it would add to his shame.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    With Hou Qing having conceded, the battle concluded, and both fighters left the stage.


    Before the spectators could comment about this battle, various Quasi-Gods rushed down from the five mountains toward the stage. This included the yellow-skinned man who had won in the last round; he was anxious to have his match with Quasi-God Jin Zhen.


    Alas, an extraordinarily slender woman was the first to the stage. The one she chose to fight was also a woman.


    "Given how strong that golden-haired brat was, your loss was not unjustified!" In the Sky Water Yao Race party, Quasi-God Lin Guang comforted Hou Qing.


    Based on the strength Zhao Feng displayed, he had a chance of entering the Quasi-God Ranking.


    As for Quasi-God Lin Guang, although he was ranked seventeenth, that was his ranking from last time. His strength had not remained immobile after all the time that had passed. For this reason, Lin Guang was confident that he could defeat Zhao Feng.


    But how could a mighty prodigy of the Quasi-God Ranking challenge some nobody?


    "How could this be¡­?" The Nether Ghost Race''s Quasi-God Mo Gui was frozen to the spot, his face paralyzed in disbelief.


    The Sky Water Yao Race''s Hou Qing was no match for Zhao Feng. How was Zhao Feng this strong?


    If Quasi-God Mo Gui had gone down there, he would have ended up even worse off than Hou Qing.


    "This guy''s strength¡­!" Quasi-God Zi Feng stared at Zhao Feng, the expression on his face constantly shifting.


    He originally planned to have the Quasi-Gods of Violet Night Hall humiliate Zhao Feng to please Quasi-God Tian Xue. However, Zhao Feng was far too powerful ¨C powerful enough to enter the Quasi-God Ranking. This also meant that only those on the Quasi-God Ranking would be able to pose any threat to Zhao Feng.


    Next to him, a hint of surprise could also be seen in Quasi-God Tian Xue''s limpid eyes.


    Meanwhile, the True God experts of Yellow Dragon Pavilion were conversing with each other.


    "That lad is incredibly gifted. If we can recruit him, we can resolve all our problems in one fell swoop!" A Quasi-God gave his opinion.


    If they recruited Zhao Feng, Han Ning''er would lose her protector and would fall into Yellow Dragon Pavilion''s hands. If she did not submit, only death awaited her. And with Zhao Feng''s talent, becoming an Ancient God in the future was no problem at all.


    "Difficult!" True God Zhongtu spat out, a glum look on his face.


    Back then, Zhao Feng had accepted a request from a True God of Spirit Grass Gate and taken Han Ning''er away right in front of True God Zhongtu. Thus, True God Zhongtu believed that recruiting Zhao Feng was essentially impossible.


    "If that''s the case, just kill them both!" an elder said with a cold and sinister expression.


    If the situation did not call for it, Yellow Dragon Pavilion was truly unwilling to offend a genius like Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng returned to the Sky Haze Race group, where the surrounding experts immediately went up to congratulate him. After all, the potential Zhao Feng had shown was enough to prove that he could become an Ancient God in the future.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Ancient God was one of the highest levels one could reach, a hegemon that could influence an entire region.


    "Brother Zhao, with your strength, if you take part in the Gulong Zone Quasi-God Ranking Competition, you can definitely get into the top twenty!" Quasi-God Jian Feng was somewhat envious of Zhao Feng.


    Jian Feng was strong, but he still needed to get quite a bit stronger to enter the ranking.


    The prodigy from the Sky Haze Race and the blue-haired old woman also treated Zhao Feng more warmly.


    "No way! The prodigies on the top twenty of the Quasi-God Ranking are all extremely talented. They can''t be underestimated," Zhao Feng humbly said.


    On the side, Han Ning''er couldn''t help but smile at Zhao Feng''s humility. She had already witnessed Zhao Feng''s true strength; he was capable of easily slaying a Rank Three True God. This meant that, if Zhao Feng participated in the Quasi-God Ranking Competition, he would get into the top ten, or perhaps even higher!


    "Young Master Zhao, the people of Yellow Dragon Pavilion are on the western mountain. What you said is correct; my senior brother truly has betrayed Spirit Grass Gate!" Han Ning''er guiltily messaged Zhao Feng.


    After all, she was the cause of this problem. If she had not gone to speak with her senior brother, the people from Yellow Dragon Pavilion would not have been called over.


    "Let''s not talk about that right now. Just listen to me from now on, and no matter what I say, don''t question my decisions!" Zhao Feng''s calm and steady voice rang out in Han Ning''er''s mind.


    "Mm!" The sight of Zhao Feng''s calm and unalarmed face inexplicably made Han Ning''er calm down.


    Next to her, Han Ning''er''s senior brother looked at Zhao Feng with respect, little knowing that his identity had already been exposed.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng moved his focus down below the fighting stage.


    "We''re working together now, but you''re too strong. How can I trust you?" Zhao Feng messaged the black-skinned man.


    "We can only make a verbal promise for now. I''m breaking the array at the moment and can''t leave, and you obviously can''t come down." The black-skinned man''s voice was tinged with helplessness.


    Although he had agreed to work with Zhao Feng, the current situation meant that their agreement was purely verbal.


    The black-skinned man inwardly snickered. Verbal agreements naturally had no restrictions, but what could Zhao Feng do about it? Zhao Feng was just a measly Quasi-God. If he dared to come alone, he would just be obliterated.


    "You can heavily injure yourself and reduce your fighting power." Zhao Feng''s steady voice suddenly echoed in the black-skinned man''s mind.


    The smile on the black-skinned man''s face instantly froze.


    This brat can even think of a lowly method like this!? The black-skinned man mentally cursed.


    If he did not agree, he would be indicating that he never intended to cooperate with Zhao Feng in the first place. Thus, Zhao Feng would just continue to use Five Elements Intent to weaken the seal.


    "I can''t control the time the array will break. If the array isn''t broken by the end of the martial gathering, I''ll heavily injure myself¡­." The black-skinned man was no fool. If he heavily injured himself and the array broke while the martial gathering was still ongoing, he would have signed his own death sentence!


    "Okay."


    The two finally reached an agreement.


    The black-skinned man was a Rank Five True God. If the array had not been broken by the time the martial gathering was about to end, the black-skinned man needed to injure himself so that he could only use forty percent of his peak strength.


    Of course, no one except the black-skinned man could determine how severe the wound would actually be. However, as long as the black-skinned man had an injury, Zhao Feng was confident in handling him, or at least not being threatened by him.


    "Tell me, what''s inside there?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "It should be a place the Five Elements God Lord once used for secluded cultivation," the black-skinned man explained.


    "The Five Elements God Lord!?" Zhao Feng was astonished.


    Above Ancient Gods were God Lords. God Lords were those who stood at the apex of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and they were extremely elusive characters. The symbol of a five-star faction was that they had a God Lord presiding over them.


    Of course, Zhao Feng did not completely believe these words.


    After making his agreement with the black-skinned man, Zhao Feng began to observe the martial gathering.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    On the stage, the battle had just come to an end. The woman who had reached the stage ahead of the others barely managed to overcome her opponent.


    The Gulong Martial Gathering continued.


    After his last fight, no one dared to challenge Zhao Feng anymore. After all, Zhao Feng had shown a strength comparable to the top twenty of the Quasi-God Ranking.


    Zhao Feng was staring at Quasi-God Mo Gui, a faint smile on his lips.


    "Damn, this brat¡­!" Quasi-God Mo Gui inwardly fumed, but there was nothing he could do.


    At the time, he had challenged Zhao Feng and claimed that Zhao Feng would not dare to step onto the stage. But now, he was the one who did not dare!


    Quasi-God Mo Gui knew that he was no match for Zhao Feng. The only thing he would get by stepping onto the stage was a thorough humiliation via the hands of Zhao Feng.


    Quasi-God Di Lin similarly did not dare to step onto the stage. Previously, when Quasi-God Di Lin was traveling by teleportation array, he ran into Zhao Feng. At that time, he and the other members of his race had pursued Zhao Feng, but they were eventually forced to give up the chase. Even without this matter though, Di Lin and Zhao Feng still had their conflict from the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension.


    Thus, Quasi-God Di Lin did not dare to step onto the stage.


    Boom! Bang!


    A mighty boom came from the stage. The yellow-skinned man finally managed to get back onto the stage.


    Quasi-God Jin Zhen showed no hesitation and immediately flew down.


    "I will let you witness the power of a Quasi-God Ranking prodigy!" Quasi-God Jin Zhen proudly declared.


    "Haha, enough talk! Let''s fight!" As the yellow-skinned man laughed, his energy began to rise.


    "This is going to be good!"


    "I wonder if the mutant bloodline of the Submerged Dragon Sect can defeat Quasi-God Jin Zhen!"


    Once more, the spectating Quasi-Gods and True Gods felt their enthusiasm rekindled.

 1224 The Closing Curtain Prepares to Drop

    Chapter 1224 - The Closing Curtain Prepares to Drop


    For the first time in this Gulong Martial Gathering, a genius of the Quasi-God Ranking was about to do battle. The spectators immediately fixed their attention on the stage.


    "Eat my fist!" The yellow-skinned man leaped forward at Quasi-God Jin Zhen. The moment he moved, the dark yellow earth on the stage began to move with him.


    "Golden Radiance Slash!" Quasi-God Jin Zhen looked on with cold eyes, his left hand shining with golden light, a miniature sun in the night.


    Whoosh! Bang!


    Fist met palm, unleashing a dreadful shockwave of energy. Both the yellow-skinned man and Quasi-God Jin Zhen retreated back a distance.


    "Your strength isn''t bad. I''ll have to go all out!" The yellow-skinned man heartily laughed, and his eyes suddenly focused, fighting intent radiating off his body.


    Grrroooom!


    The dark yellow cloud of dust over the stage slowly began to attach to the yellow-skinned man, forming particularly tough slabs of dirt. The yellow-skinned man turned into an enormous stone monster that exerted a heavy pressure.


    "Even if you have a mutant ancient bloodline, it''s still no match for my bloodline!" Quasi-God Jin Zhen hollered, his eyes bursting with pride.


    Bzzzz!


    Golden blood slowly began to seep out of Quasi-God Jin Zhen''s body. The golden blood swiftly condensed in Quasi-God Jin Zhen''s hand, taking the form of a golden sword.


    "These two are using their bloodline strength so quickly!"


    "The bloodline of Quasi-God Jin Zhen allows him to take out his blood and shape it into weapons!"


    The crowds on Five Star Mountain were stunned and amazed.


    The Gulong Martial Gathering was just for instructive matches, so divine weapons were not permitted, but Quasi-God Jin Zhen''s bloodline bestowed on him both incredible talent and the ability to make his own offensive weapons. However, the yellow-skinned man''s bloodline was also abnormal.


    It was precisely for these reasons that everyone was so excited about this battle.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    As the crowd was still gasping in praise, the pair on stage had already crashed against each other. Each collision would result in a magnificent explosion of golden light.


    "So powerful!" Quasi-God Jian Feng couldn''t help but sigh in wonder.


    "Anyone who can enter the Quasi-God Ranking must at least be a Rank Three Quasi-God," Zhao Feng muttered to himself as he watched the battle.


    To reach the level of a Rank Three True God without actually being a True God was an extremely high requirement!


    Of course, Zhao Feng had already reached this level. Moreover, not too long ago, Zhao Feng''s Five Elements Intent and Wind Lightning Intent had all reached Level Two, causing his strength to take yet another leap forward.


    If I don''t use the Spacetime Robe, I can fight against a Rank Four True God, but that would only get me to around rank five on the Quasi-God Ranking, Zhao Feng mentally estimated.


    In other words, the prodigies of the Quasi-God Ranking''s top five all had the strength to fight against ordinary Rank Four True Gods.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, the strongest prodigy of the Gulong Zone was the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land''s Quasi-God Heaven Swallower. He was apparently confident in attaining Rank Four of the Heavenly Divine Realm immediately.


    Zhao Feng had seen Quasi-God Heaven Swallower''s strength in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. He estimated that if Heaven Swallower used all his strength, he could even contend against Rank Five True Gods. A Quasi-God who could wield the strength of a Rank Five True God; this was the strength of the Gulong Zone''s strongest prodigy.


    Once I reach the 12th level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique, then together with my Sacred Lightning Body and various Intents, I should also be able to fight a Rank Five True God!


    Zhao Feng found himself rather anticipating that moment.


    He had always been extremely strict on himself. Since others could reached that lofty level, he could do so as well. The assistance the God''s Spiritual Eye gave Zhao Feng was not one bit inferior to the bloodlines of the prodigies of the Quasi-God Ranking''s top five.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    On the stage, constant explosions deafened the ears while golden radiance blinded the eyes.


    The yellow-skinned man''s attacks were extremely tyrannical, so heavy that no one would dare to receive them directly. But Quasi-God Jin Zhen''s attacks were focused to a single point and extremely precise, suffused with a sharpness that could pierce through all.


    "These two are basically spear and shield!"


    "Will the spear pierce the shield, or will the shield flatten the spear!?"


    The crowd was deeply engrossed in this battle.


    The battle continued on for some time, but there was still no clear victor.


    "Heavenly Golden Splendor!"


    "Earth Burial!"


    At a certain moment, both of them used their trump cards.


    Brrrooom!


    The entire stage shook as countless golden lights appeared overhead, so bright that night was turned to day. When the light finally dissipated, only one figure remained proudly standing on the stage: Quasi-God Jin Zhen.


    "Quasi-God Jin Zhen was the winner!"


    "What a powerful clash! Both of them are very frightening!"


    The crowd exploded with cheers, amazed by this wondrous bout.


    Although the yellow-skinned man had lost this time, there were still a few decades until the next Quasi-God Ranking Competition. There was a chance that he could win in their next match.


    With this battle over, the next round immediately commenced. Battles never ceased on that enormous stage!


    There were even a few dark horses who appeared, but none were more dazzling than Zhao Feng and the yellow-skinned man.


    A day quickly passed, but everyone was still in high spirits.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Fierce battles were still taking place on the stage.


    Thwish!


    At a certain moment, Quasi-God Jian Feng managed to reach the stage first!


    "I want to challenge Quasi-God Lin Guang!" Quasi-God Jian Feng''s sharp eyes shot straight at the genius Quasi-God of the Sky Water Yao Race.


    After seeing the battle between Quasi-God Jin Zhen and the yellow-skinned man, he knew that it would be very difficult for him to defeat Quasi-God Jin Zhen. And yet, he chose to challenge Quasi-God Lin Guang, who was ranked even higher.


    Of course, this was not without reason. First, the Sky Water Yao Race was an enemy of the Sky Haze Race. Second, Quasi-God Lin Guang would not hold back, giving Jian Feng more pressure and a greater sense of danger. Only this way could Quasi-God Jian Feng enter the top twenty when it was time for the Quasi-God Ranking Competition.


    "You''ll need to test yourself first," the old lady of the Sky Haze Race said in a soft voice.


    According to custom, Quasi-God Jian Feng would have to first defeat another member of the Sky Water Yao Race.


    However, the person the Sky Water Yao Race sent only exchanged three moves with Quasi-God Jian Feng before being defeated. Everyone present understood that this was intentional on the Sky Water Yao Race''s part.


    After another few rounds, Quasi-God Jian Feng reached the stage again.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    In a blue flash of light, Quasi-God Lin Guang appeared on the stage.


    "Let me experience the strength of one of the Sky Haze Race''s prodigies!" Quasi-God Lin Guang said with a savage smile.


    Before the battle, Quasi-God Lin Guang chose to intentionally bolster Quasi-God Jian Feng''s reputation. This way, after defeating Quasi-God Jian Feng, he could humiliate the Sky Haze Race!


    "Haha, my Sky Haze Race''s true prodigy is not me, but the one who occupies rank sixteen on the Quasi-God Ranking!" Quasi-God Jian Feng raised his head up and gave a loud and carefree laugh.


    Lin Guang''s face turned into a sheet of ice. The strongest genius of the Sky Haze Race was one rank higher than him on the Quasi-God Ranking; this had always been a source of heartache for him.


    "You''re seeking death!" Quasi-God Lin Guang growled as he flashed toward Jian Feng.


    Swooosh!


    Quasi-God Jian Feng''s surroundings suddenly began to glimmer with nigh-tangible Sword Intent. He brought two of his fingers together, condensing a faint blue edge that commanded the sword images around him.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    In their first clash, Quasi-God Jian Feng ended up being the weaker side.


    Plush!


    Jian Feng backed up several dozen steps and vomited blood. But his Sword Intent did not fade; it only grew sharper.


    "Soaring Wind Slash!" Quasi-God Jian Feng harnessed Wind Intent to fire off an enormous sword-wind, elusive and unpredictable.


    "Water Slaughtering Screen!" Quasi-God Lin Guang showed no mercy and began to batter down on Quasi-God Jian Feng.


    After ten moves, Jian Feng was defeated. However, the Sword Intent he exuded was even sharper and more condensed than before.


    "During the Quasi-God Ranking Competition, you''ll definitely get into the top twenty!" Zhao Feng smiled at the feeble Quasi-God Jian Feng next to him and said.


    "I hope so!" Quasi-God Jian Feng chuckled back.


    The Gulong Martial Gathering continued, with more and more prodigies entering the stage. Quite a few of them challenged the prodigies of the Quasi-God Ranking, but not a single one of them succeeded.


    Before the end, I''ll go one more time, Zhao Feng planned.


    First, if Zhao Feng displayed enough strength and talent, he would be courted by some factions. By forming relationships with them, he could resolve the dangers he was about to face.


    Second, Zhao Feng still needed to compel the black-skinned man into harming himself. If he did not heavily injure himself, Zhao Feng would use his Five Elements Intent to its full extent to break the array early.


    Time slowly passed. It was now the third day, and the martial gathering was on the verge of ending.


    "It''s about time for me to go up!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused as he looked for the right moment to go on the stage.


    Thwish!


    But someone was even faster than Zhao Feng ¨C faster than everyone else in the crowd ¨C in getting onto the stage.


    "Quasi-God Gui Yi, come and fight me!" On the stage was a cold and sinister man with a face like a venomous snake, a strange and enigmatic aura rising from his body.


    "It''s Quasi-God Bi Xi, the fourteenth ranked prodigy of the Quasi-God Ranking!"


    The spectators instantly began to chatter among themselves.


    Six geniuses of the Quasi-God Ranking were attending the Gulong Martial Gathering: Quasi-God Zi Feng, Quasi-God Tian Xue, Quasi-God Gui Yi, Quasi-God Bi Xi, Quasi-God Lin Guang, and Quasi-God Jin Zhen.


    None of these six had fought each other. No one expected for Quasi-God Bi Xi to challenge Quasi-God Gui Yi right as the martial gathering was about to end.


    "Okay! You are a prodigy of the Quasi-God Ranking; no one else in my faction is a match for you, so I will fight you directly!" Quasi-God Gui Yi stood up.


    For the martial gathering to end with their battle wasn''t bad at all!


    "Two individuals on the Quasi-God Ranking are going to fight!"


    "Coming this time was really worth it!"


    Everyone on Five Star Mountain stared with rapt attention at the stage, their eyes glowing with anticipation.


    Whoosh!


    Quasi-God Gui Yi slowly drifted onto the stage.


    At this moment, Quasi-God Bi Xi moved, transforming into a stream of light that vanished into the air.


    "Green Crystal Venom Flash!" Quasi-God Bi Xi jabbed a finger in the air, firing a green ray of light at Quasi-God Gui Yi.


    "Level Two Space Intent!" Zhao Feng focused his eyes. Other than this, Quasi-God Bi Xi also knew a poisonous Intent energy.


    "Five Elements Heaven Earth!" Quasi-God Gui Yi raised his arms and harnessed the Five Elements energy of the world into a rainbow halo.


    Quasi-God Bi Xi''s attack fell into the flowing lights of this five-colored halo and vanished.


    Not good! Five Elements Intent! Zhao Feng instantly paled. He had not expected for Quasi-God Gui Yi to be capable of using Five Elements Intent, and his level in it was not low.


    Deep underground, the black-skinned man also paled in shock.


    "What''s going on?" the black-skinned man messaged Zhao Feng.


    "There''s another Quasi-God besides me that uses Five Elements Intent to fight!" Zhao Feng said, his expression sinking.


    The Five Elements Intent that Quasi-God Gui Yi used was even stronger than the one that Zhao Feng used earlier. Moreover, the two fighters were very similar in strength, so their battle would not come to an end soon. If this continued, the array underground was very likely to break earlier than expected.


    But Zhao Feng could not stop this battle. These two were prodigies of peak four-star factions; if Zhao Feng tried to stop them, would his course of action be anything but suicidal?


    "Not good, the array is probably going to break!" The black-skinned man down below was burning with anxiety.

 1225 Beneath Five Star Mountain

    Chapter 1225 - Beneath Five Star Mountain


    The Five Elements array deep below the ground was already incredibly weak. If it wasn''t for the fact that the black-skinned man had intentionally decreased his speed, the array would have already been broken.


    Originally, with the Gulong Martial Gathering about to end, the array would have lasted until everyone was gone, whereupon the man could break the array. But now, the twelfth-ranked Quasi-God Gui Yi had entered the stage. Coincidentally, Quasi-God Gui Yi was extremely skilled in Five Elements Intent, and he used it in a far more powerful fashion than Zhao Feng in his battle.


    "Not good, the array is probably going to break!" The black-skinned man down below was burning with anxiety.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The slivers of Five Elements energy in the array were drawn away by Quasi-God Gui Yi.


    "I can only stop breaking the array!" The black-skinned man immediately ended his attempts to break the array and put the stone disc down.


    However, this Five Elements array had already been teetering on the verge of collapse. Its performance in various aspects had been greatly reduced, including its self-repairing ability.


    Moreover, the self-repair ability of the Five Elements array drew part of its energy from nature. Quasi-God Gui Yi was not only absorbing the Five Elements energy of the array, but the Five Elements Energy of the world as well. This meant that the speed at which the Five Elements array repaired itself could not keep up with Quasi-God Gui Yi''s rate of absorption.


    "I can only leave it up to heaven!" The black-skinned man sat on the ground and stared at the array on the stone door.


    On Five Star Mountain, Zhao Feng was also observing the situation deep underground.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    On the stage, Quasi-God Gui Yi and Quasi-God Bi Xi had drawn everyone''s attention through their battle. Even Quasi-Gods Zi Feng and Tian Xue were entranced.


    The only person who was in no mood to appreciate this magnificent battle was Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had taken an enormous risk by threatening the black-skinned man to work with him. The martial gathering was about to end, and he and the black-skinned man were about to search this area where the Five Elements God Lord had once secluded himself.


    But all of a sudden, Quasi-God Gui Yi had rushed in and messed everything up. Now, Zhao Feng could only leave everything up to the heavens.


    "Quasi-God Bi Xi has activated his bloodline power!" a Quasi-God next to Zhao Feng excitedly called out.


    On the stage, Quasi-God Bi Xi was slowly transforming into an enormous lizard with a transparent body of green crystal. He exuded a vast aura that intimidated the crowd.


    "Soul-Withering Poison Fog!" Quasi-God Bi Xi howled.


    Kaboom!


    His crystalline body suddenly began to leak out an oily mist that engulfed his surroundings.


    "Quasi-God Bi Xi''s Soul Withering Poison Fog can not only eat away at vitality, but also poison the soul," Quasi-God Gui Yi softly muttered to himself. He knew all the individuals on the Quasi-God Ranking like the back of his hand.


    Quasi-God Gui Yi maintained a calm expression as he quietly activated his own bloodline power. Although Quasi-God Gui Yi was ranked two places higher than Quasi-God Bi Xi on the Quasi-God Ranking, he could not defeat Bi Xi unless he used his bloodline power.


    But once he did use his bloodline power, the outcome would be decided.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Quasi-God Gui Yi''s body suddenly became shrouded in a five-colored radiance. At this moment, the Five Elements energy of the world madly surged into his body.


    "Quasi-God Gui Yi''s bloodline power allows him to transform into a spiritual body made of the Five Elements that allows him to communicate with the Five Elements energy of the world¡­." Quasi-God Jian Feng commented, his eyes bright.


    At this moment, Quasi-God Gui Yi seemed to be one with nature, his every move and action harnessing the Five Elements energy of the world, each element packed with tremendous power.


    It''s over¡­. Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    When Quasi-God Gui Yi used his unique bloodline power, Zhao Feng knew that the secret deep underground would be unable to remain secret.


    "In a little while, I''ll have you enter my Little World. You don''t need to worry about anything. Just stay in there, and it will be fine," Zhao Feng messaged Han Ning''er.


    The underground secret was about to be exposed, but since Zhao Feng was forewarned, he still had a chance to move through the ground and get a little something for himself. In addition, in the ensuing chaos, those who wanted to make trouble for Zhao Feng would find it very hard to deal with him.


    "Damn, these two Quasi-God brats!" The black-skinned man down below cursed.


    In the next moment, the Five Elements seal before him utterly vanished.


    Brrrooom!


    Five Star Mountain suddenly began to shudder.


    The spectators were all stunned. No matter how much power was being flung around in the battle between Quasi-God Gui Yi and Quasi-God Bi Xi, it could not possibly make all of Five Star Mountain quake. Moreover, the stage had a strengthening array; otherwise, it would have never been able to endure the battles of so many Quasi-Gods.


    "What''s going on?" Quasi-God Bi Xi was stunned, his expression turning gloomy.


    "This is¡­" Quasi-God Gui Yi was in tune with the forces of nature, so he instantly perceived a strangeness within Five Star Mountain!


    At this moment, the stone door deep underground exploded into smithereens, transforming into a door made of twisted five-colored light. The rush of Intent energy pouring out caused the entire region to shake.


    Brrrooom!


    The severe jolting that the region received created countless cracks, through which rich and vast streams of energy flooded out.


    "There''s treasure beneath Five Star Mountain!" Zhao Feng immediately yelled, his call immediately attracting everyone''s notice.


    "Treasure?"


    "Treasure underground!"


    This news rapidly spread through Five Star Mountain.


    "Quasi-God Jian Feng, there''s treasure down below. I''m leaving first!" Zhao Feng took Han Ning''er into his Illusion City Little World.


    In the Illusion City, Han Ning''er wouldn''t be able to do anything even if she wanted to.


    Bang!


    Zhao Feng used Earth Escape and vanished into the ground.


    "Brother Zhao, don''t rush!" Quasi-God Jian Feng wanted to stop him, but he was too late.


    Zhao Feng knew that there was treasure down below, so he burrowed straight in. However, the rest of the people present still had their misgivings. After all, there could be some dreadful and unknown danger down there.


    But if one person took the lead, everyone would follow so as not to fall behind.


    Swish!


    Quasi-God Gui Yi melded into the earth and began to rapidly sink into the ground.


    After leaving the stage, Quasi-God Bi Xi drilled into the earth.


    "Let''s go!" Quasi-God Zi Feng led the True God experts of Violet Night Hall into burrowing into the ground.


    The other Quasi-God experts around Five Star Mountain also began to dig into the earth.


    "Put aside that yellow-haired kid for now. Let''s see what''s going on down there!" True God Zhongtu of Yellow Dragon Pavilion said.


    Individuals still cared more about personal gain. In comparison to Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er, True God Zhongtu found treasure and fortune far more tempting.


    "An independent dimension!" Zhao Feng stared at the door of twisted five-colored light before him.


    Zhao Feng was skilled in Earth Escape and was the first to burrow underground, so he was the first to arrive. But Zhao Feng knew that, before he even arrived, someone else had already entered.


    "That''s¡­ a secret dimension!"


    Zhao Feng heard cries of alarm and surprise coming from not very far behind him.


    No one could have expected for there to be an unknown secret dimension beneath Five Star Mountain.


    As several people began to approach the entrance, Zhao Feng went through. In the next moment, Zhao Feng appeared before an opulent palace that soared into the heavens. The entire palace exuded formidable Five Elements Intent energy, and the air was thick with pure Yuan Qi.


    "This place should be the Five Elements God Lord''s residence!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    He had not expected for there to be a palace within this independent dimension.


    This palace was absolutely enormous, several times larger than the entirety of Five Star Mountain.


    Swish! Swish!


    Several figures soon appeared next to Zhao Feng. Besides four True Gods, the rest of them were prodigies who were only a little bit inferior to the geniuses on the Quasi-God Ranking.


    "What sort of place is this?" All of them had amazed and nervous expressions as they warily took stock of their surroundings.


    Swish! Swish!


    Dozens of figures appeared above the enormous palace.


    Everyone will be sent to this palace! Zhao Feng''s heart tightened.


    Although this palace was massive, if everyone went in, it would be far too crowded. If a treasure appeared, a bloody massacre would ensue. Even with the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng did not dare to join in.


    Right, where''s the black-skinned man? Zhao Feng suddenly remembered that the black-skinned man should have arrived first.


    The black-skinned man seemed to understand a little about this place. This also meant that he probably knew where the best treasures were hidden.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng flew up into the sky, using his left eye to seek out the black-skinned man''s position.


    The palace was not that large, so Zhao Feng was able to quickly scan through it. However, there were many areas in this palace with extremely formidable barriers. Even Zhao Feng''s golden eye needed to spend some effort to see through them.


    Found him! Zhao Feng quickly discovered the black-skinned man.


    Swish!


    Condensing golden wings behind his back, Zhao Feng flew straight into the maze-like interior of the palace.


    "Intruder, die!" After making a turn, he was suddenly greeted by a deafening roar.


    "Is that a Yao God?" Zhao Feng''s gaze froze.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, enormous ancient beasts could obviously cultivate to the Heavenly Divine Realm, but even some ordinary Yao Beasts and Yao Spirits could do so as well. When they reached the Heavenly Divine Realm, they became known as Yao Gods.


    "This palace is rich with Yuan Qi and packed to the brim with Intent energy. It would be much stranger if Yao Spirits weren''t born here!" Zhao Feng was not surprised at all.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    A huge monster formed from giant stones suddenly began to stomp at Zhao Feng. The monster suddenly punched, compressing the surrounding space!


    "It''s just a Rank Two Yao God, but it has Level Two Earth Intent!" Zhao Feng''s expression froze in surprise.


    Logically speaking, ordinary Yao Beasts and Yao Spirits were inferior to those more-highly-ranked ancient beasts. But even many of the Rank One True Gods of these ancient races had not obtained Level One in any Intent.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Sacred Lightning Body, shooting into the Yao God as a five-colored ball of lightning. With an enormous boom, the stone monster was blown to pieces by the impact.


    "What''s this?"


    The moment he killed the Yao God, a chestnut-shaped yellow crystal fell into his hands. As he gripped the yellow crystal, he instantly sensed a clear Earth Intent.


    "It''s not a God Crystal, but it''s even more special. It can help me comprehend Intent energy!" Zhao Feng''s face lit up in delight.


    After putting the yellow crystal away, Zhao Feng continued the pursuit of the black-skinned man. Zhao Feng was confident that, if he followed the black-skinned man, he would reach a place with even greater fortune.


    "There''s a lot of Yao Gods, but that person is very strong ¨C even stronger than True God Zhongtu!" This was the conclusion Zhao Feng had obtained through observing the black-skinned man fight with his left eye.


    "It''s not bad to have a powerful expert like this guide and clear the path for me!" A cunning smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face. The black-skinned man had cleared the path that he was now traveling, taking care of many of the powerful Yao Gods. For this reason, Zhao Feng encountered few obstructions.

 1226 Intent Crystal

    Chapter 1226 - Intent Crystal


    Everyone who was attending the Gulong Martial Gathering, including the spectators, began appearing in front of the enormous palace by means of the five-colored pathway.


    A few of these people were fortunate enough to be directly teleported to treasure rooms in the palace, where precious items were just waiting to be taken. But there were also people unlucky enough to be transported to danger zones where they could only curse their fate as they died under a mob of Yao Gods.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The sounds of intense fighting echoed through the palace.


    Most of the people who came to the Gulong Martial Gathering had come in groups. For this reason, the majority of the people in the palace acted in squads. It was also safer this way.


    "Kill!"


    Two Quasi-Gods, two True Gods, and two Yao Gods were engaged in a fierce battle.


    One Yao God was Rank Three, and its entire body was formed from wood and vines. Its attacks were unconventional, and its vitality was tenacious.


    The other Yao God was Rank Four. It was a dazzling golden light that could change form at will. Its attacks were swift and fierce, catching people by surprise. However, this golden light Yao God had much weaker defense and vitality.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    After a round of fighting, the team of four succeeded in killing these two powerful Yao Gods.


    "These are Intent Crystals!" The Rank Four True God in this group stared at the chestnut-shaped crystals floating out of the Yao Gods'' bodies in shock.


    Intent Crystals allowed one to comprehend the Intent energy within the crystal. Other than some unique places where such crystals grew on their own, one could only obtain them via some incredible expert creating them using their own Intent energy. Many powerful factions and races used Intent Crystals to help the talented individuals of their factions cultivate and comprehend Intent.


    "No wonder these Yao Gods possess such profound Intent energy. They have Intent Crystals in their bodies!" The elder''s eyes brightly twinkled.


    Even as a Rank Four True God, he rarely saw Intent Crystals. But now, he was suddenly the owner of seven of them.


    "Let''s go deeper!" The elder was excited beyond compare.


    The danger level of this palace was very low, but the treasures within were extraordinarily precious. As the first group in, they stood to gain the most.


    It wouldn''t take long until news of this treasure ground spread, which was certain to bring a storm of blood and gore down upon this palace.


    Separated by several walls from this small squad, Zhao Feng was fighting with a single Yao God.


    "A Rank Three Yao God with Level Three Water Intent! So strong!" Zhao Feng had a somewhat serious expression on his face.


    Even now, not a single one of Zhao Feng''s numerous Intents had reached Level Three. On the other hand, the Yao Gods of this place had all reached a level of Intent on par with their cultivation, making all of them unusually powerful.


    However, they didn''t seem to possess any profound combat skills, nor did they possess divine weapons.


    "Brat, you''re too weak. Die!" a fish monster with a transparent deep blue body opened up its savage mouth and roared.


    "In the Five Elements, Earth counters Water." Zhao Feng circulated the Sacred Lightning Body, using his Earth Divine Power to apply a Physical Force Lightning Domain.


    In a flash, the fish-shaped Yao God was bound by Zhao Feng''s domain energy.


    Clingclang!


    A black metal triangle appeared in Zhao Feng''s hands, which then transformed into a giant ax. Zhao Feng circulated his Five Elements Divine Power, transforming the five-colored lightning into a dark yellow lightning bolt.


    Even though the Five Elements were a fusion of all five elements, one could still convert one element into another. Although Five Elements Divine Power was strong, if one converted the other four kinds of Divine Power into Earth Divine Power, the effects would be extraordinary.


    Pop! Hisss!


    Zhao Feng cloaked the giant ax in this dark yellow radiance. Heaving it up into the air, he swung it down at the fish Yao God.


    "Ah¡­!" The fish Yao God gave a shrill scream.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng immediately used his left eye to fire a Soul eye-bloodline technique at the Yao God.


    The souls of Yao Spirits were usually not strong, and Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was already equivalent to a peak Rank Two True God. A Soul eye-bloodline technique was now capable of inflicting terrible damage.


    Kacrack!


    A flame of violet lightning exploded against the fish Yao God''s soul.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm!" Zhao Feng didn''t give the Yao God a chance to catch its breath, attacking it physically as well as mentally.


    It didn''t take much longer before the fish Yao God was slayed.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng stretched out his hand and took the three chestnut-shaped crystals, placing them in his Interspatial Dimension. Activating his left eye, Zhao Feng once more observed the black-skinned man ahead of him.


    At this time, the black-skinned man was doing battle with a Rank Four Yao God. The black-skinned man held the clear advantage and swiftly killed off his opponent.


    "Shadow Intent and Fire Intent."


    Zhao Feng had developed some understanding of the black-skinned man''s abilities. After all, this person was incredibly strong, and there was a high chance he would become an enemy.


    "But if I didn''t have this person leading the way, it would have been very difficult for me to get this far!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    In addition, the black-skinned man seemed to have a specific target. He had done nothing but kill Yao Gods and press forward, ignoring the treasures on the wayside. It was precisely because he had noticed this that Zhao Feng followed the black-skinned man.


    He continued to use his left eye to observe the situation.


    "That is¡­?" His left eye discovered that there was something nearby that was incredibly difficult to see through. Powerful Yao Gods surrounded this object, with the weakest being a Rank Three Yao God.


    Zhao Feng predicted that this might be the black-skinned man''s ultimate goal.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng pushed his left eye to the limit in an effort to see through that object.


    "Forget it!" Zhao Feng finally gave up on the effort.


    Although he could use the Origin Energy of his God Eye to strengthen its abilities, it would become extremely weak. The gains would not be worth the losses.


    Zhao Feng continued to secretly follow the black-skinned man, taking care of any Yao Gods that appeared along the way.


    "The other teams in the palace are also converging on this place." When he was bored, Zhao Feng would see what was going elsewhere in the palace.


    The area that Zhao Feng couldn''t see through could be considered the center of this enormous palace. When searching for treasure, the greatest fortune often resided in the most dangerous place or the most central place. Everyone understood this principle.


    Although the black-skinned man had arrived before everyone else, he was alone and encountered progressively stronger Yao Gods as he moved forward. Thus, he began to slow down.


    "I should find a place to hide," Zhao Feng muttered to himself.


    Zhao Feng threatened the black-skinned man earlier, so the black-skinned man definitely didn''t have a good impression of him and might even attack him on sight. In addition, only the strongest groups could get this deep into the palace. Zhao Feng had no need to risk his own body.


    If the fortune in the center is too dangerous to get, I''ll just leave, Zhao Feng mentally decided.


    After all, if he left while everyone was still scouring the palace for treasure, he could avoid all his enemies.


    Time slowly passed, and as everyone searched the palace, they slowly started approaching the center.


    At a certain moment, the black-skinned man finally reached the vicinity of that object Zhao Feng could not see through.


    The black-skinned man chose to stop, choosing prudence over haste.


    In front of him was a small palace made of five-colored crystal, shrouded in a thick five-colored fog. Upon careful observation, one could see that this five-colored crystal palace was made entirely of small chestnut-shaped crystals: Intent Crystals.


    The entire palace was made of Intent Crystals, and it might hold even more precious treasures within!


    However, the five-colored fog also concealed many powerful Yao Gods. This dreadful fact ensured that one would not dare to recklessly charge in.


    A small and powerful team of four soon arrived at this place as well. Their leader was none other than the rank five prodigy of the Quasi-God Ranking, Quasi-God Zi Feng.


    The four members of Violet Night Hall immediately noticed this palace of five-colored crystal.


    And then they noticed the black-skinned man.


    "True God Dark Thief!" the Rank Five True God of Violet Night Hall stared at the black-skinned man and called out.


    The other three members of the Violet Night Hall were stunned. True God Dark Thief was an extremely famous thief of the Gulong Zone. He would go to any means for the sake of his own personal gain. He had even robbed items from peak four-star factions.


    "There is no need for everyone to be so astonished. I, True God Dark Thief, don''t recall ever visiting Violet Night Hall." True God Dark Thief thought for a few moments before messaging them.


    "Only because you don''t dare to." Zi Feng coldly glared at True God Dark Thief.


    True God Dark Thief gave a wicked smile in reply.


    A second team soon arrived, this one led by Quasi-God Gui Yi.


    "Everyone, we should all work together to assault this place." True God Dark Thief took the initiative to communicate with these two squads.


    "Work together with you, True God Dark Thief?" a person in Quasi-God Gui Yi''s team said.


    "Although no one is very willing to work with me, I''m a decent fighter, and if we continue to wait, more and more people will show up, creating even more of a problem!"


    True God Dark Thief''s words struck true. Only two teams and True God Dark Thief were present. If they attacked the crystalline palace, it would be easier to divide the rewards. If they waited for more people to show up, it would be easier to assault the palace, but when the time came to divide the rewards, a fierce and bloody battle would ensue.


    "Okay, we''ll work together!"


    In the end, the two factions agreed with True God Dark Thief.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two teams and True God Dark Thief charged forward.


    "Get out! This isn''t a place you should have come to!"


    "All of you are seeking death!"


    Roars of anger came from within the five-colored fog.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Figures exuding mighty auras rushed out of the fog. They were all Yao Spirits that were born within the crystalline palace. At the same time, they were nourished by the vast energy of the crystalline palace, baptized in its Intent. Thus, they all had extremely high cultivations and wielded powerful Intents.


    After a few moments of battle, the Yao Gods had the advantage. When they used Five Elements Intent here, their power was boosted.


    "These Yao Gods are very strong!" A young Quasi-God who was forced back by a Yao God was astonished.


    A third team soon arrived on the scene.


    "Quasi-God Tian Xue, hurry and help us assault this place. We''ll divide up the spoils within equally!" Quasi-God Zi Feng immediately invited Quasi-God Tian Xue''s group to join the battle.


    After thinking for a few moments, Quasi-God Tian Xue''s group chose to temporarily work together with the others.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    With the entrance of a third powerful team, the Yao Gods swiftly began to lose ground.


    "Kill!"


    In the end, the Yao Gods were slaughtered until only five were left.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Although these five Yao Spirits were confident in themselves, they knew that sticking around meant certain doom, so they chose to flee.


    The three teams and True God Dark Thief naturally didn''t have time to chase after these Yao Spirits.


    "Hurry and go in!"


    The experts rushed into the five-colored crystalline palace with excited looks on their faces.


    Whoosh!


    A faint golden light shot out from a nearby corner.


    "Haha, I''ll also go in to take a share of the spoils!"


    Zhao Feng had been watching this battle from somewhere nearby this entire time. Now that the battle was over and the Yao Gods guarding the palace were driven away, it was about time for him to move.

 1227 Cultivation Ground

    Chapter 1227 - Cultivation Ground


    As Zhao Feng approached the five-colored crystalline palace, he could sense that the surroundings were bursting with endless Five Elements Intent. However, this Intent was of such a high level that even a cultivator of Five Elements Intent like Zhao Feng found it very hard to influence this Intent.


    If he cultivated in the vicinity of this palace, his Five Elements Intent would be certain to advance at godly speeds. Cultivating his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique here would also have major advantages.


    "No wonder the Yao Spirits here have such high levels of Intent!" Zhao Feng was flabbergasted.


    Even a complete idiot would eventually command powerful Intent just by staying here.


    "This place is probably the cultivation ground of the Five Elements God Lord. The entire palace is made from a condensed mixture of Intent energy and Divine Power."


    Zhao Feng found it impossible to imagine just how deep the God Lord''s understanding of Intent was.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng picked an entrance and entered the five-colored palace.


    The moment he entered the palace, he sensed that the Intent energy in the palace was so thick and vast that it had almost transformed into an Intent sea.


    "Who''s there?" The several people in the palace all turned and called out.


    The Yao Gods outside the palace had been pushed back by their three teams and True God Dark Thief. It was only right that the spoils here be divided between them. Thus, all of them were hostile to anyone who entered afterward.


    "It''s you?" Quasi-God Zi Feng couldn''t help but laugh as he stared at Zhao Feng in disdain.


    Next to him, Quasi-God Tian Xue''s eyes slightly brightened.


    "This brat¡­" True God Dark Thief''s expression sank, and his eyes turned dark.


    Zhao Feng had threatened him earlier, and though it had not actually affected him, how could he ¨C a mighty Rank Five True God ¨C allow himself to be threatened by an ordinary Quasi-God? For this reason, True God Dark Thief wanted to kill Zhao Feng.


    "Boy, we were the ones to assault this place. Scram!" Quasi-God Zi Feng coldly barked, his aura sharp and fierce.


    He initially planned to humiliate Zhao Feng in the Gulong Martial Gathering to help Quasi-God Tian Xue vent her anger. However, Zhao Feng had shown too much strength for anyone except individuals on the Quasi-God Ranking to defeat him. Thus, Quasi-God Zi Feng had decided to let Zhao Feng go temporarily.


    He never expected to meet Zhao Feng here. Here, he had nothing to fear, and he even had a reason to attack Zhao Feng. Most importantly, Quasi-God Tian Xue was by his side.


    "In treasure grounds, even witnesses get a share of the spoils. There''s no need to be so absolute. Or do you think that you can keep all the other teams out too?" Zhao Feng amiably returned. He had been in hiding all this time, so he truly was taking advantage of them.


    "I told you to get out!" Quasi-God Zi Feng''s brows rose, and his eyes began to surge with killing intent.


    Zhao Feng''s expression sank as he sensed the killing intent coming from Zi Feng.


    Quasi-God Zi Feng wanted to kill Zhao Feng because Zhao Feng once made Quasi-God Tian Xue unhappy. Moreover, Zhao Feng didn''t have the necessary strength, so he could easily kill Zhao Feng if he wanted to.


    Quasi-God Tian Xue and Quasi-God Gui Yi said nothing. They naturally didn''t wish for others to get the treasure here, but Zhao Feng was right; they could not keep everyone out.


    Dark Thief True God, on the other hand, did not appear to think that this was important. He also wanted to kill Zhao Feng, so if Quasi-God Zi Feng did it for him, he naturally didn''t mind.


    But at this moment, a voice resounded in True God Dark Thief''s mind; "True God Dark Thief, weren''t we working together? It''s your turn now!"


    True God Dark Thief''s face froze in shock that Zhao Feng would choose this moment to message him.


    Working together? How ridiculous. Since the Five Elements array had broken early, how could they still be working together?


    "If I''m forced to leave this place, I''ll reveal everything. I''ll say that you were the one who discovered this palace and that you know where the most precious treasures are hidden¡­." Zhao Feng messaged once more.


    "This scoundrel¡­!" True God Dark Thief trembled in rage. For anyone else, no one would ever believe Zhao Feng''s claims, but it was different if one was talking about True God Dark Thief. If Zhao Feng made these claims, the other three teams would definitely begin to doubt him and perhaps even work together to drive him away.


    True God Dark Thief truly felt rather helpless. He ended up being threatened by Zhao Feng again.


    "Hey now, it''s just an ordinary Quasi-God. That he would attract such concern from Quasi-God Zi Feng, do you fear that he''s going to steal this place''s treasure, or steal the woman in your heart?" True God Dark Thief stepped forward, rushing into the palace with a wicked smile on his face.


    "You¡­" Quasi-God Zi Feng was instantly stupefied. He hadn''t expected True God Dark Thief to intervene. However, it was true that he wanted to kill Zhao Feng for Quasi-God Tian Xue.


    On the side, Quasi-God Tian Xue''s eyes flashed with a few ripples of emotion.


    "Hurry, we can''t let True God Dark Thief get ahead of us!" Quasi-God Tian Xue led her team away.


    Quasi-God Gui Yi had no relationship with Zhao Feng and naturally felt no need to target him, so he took his team to search the area for treasures.


    "Brat, I''ll let you go this time!" With these parting words, Zi Feng took his team and departed.


    After all, this five-colored crystalline palace was probably the place with the greatest fortune. Everyone else had already left, so Violet Night Hall naturally couldn''t delay itself for the sake of a single Zhao Feng.


    Once everyone was gone, Zhao Feng activated his left eye and began to survey the palace. Now that he was inside the palace, the see-through ability of Zhao Feng''s left eye was working again.


    "The entire palace is made up of crystals suffused with Intent energy. Moreover, these crystals are even more precious than the ones I obtained from killing those Yao Gods." Zhao Feng''s left eyes flashed with golden light as he scanned his surroundings.


    This palace was essentially a giant treasury for everyone inside. However, the structure of this palace was extremely sturdy. A few Quasi-Gods and True Gods would find it a nigh impossible task to bore into the walls and extract any Intent Crystals.


    "Eh?" Zhao Feng focused his gaze underground.


    There appeared to be array inscriptions beneath the palace.


    However, Zhao Feng''s golden eye was not capable of clearly making out the array hidden down below. Zhao Feng also couldn''t understand why the Five Elements God Lord would hide an array under his seclusion area.


    Zhao Feng did not continue to ponder this topic. After all, he had come here with seeking treasure as his main priority.


    Whoosh!


    The main hall that Zhao Feng stood in was completely empty, so he flew off to another room.


    These rooms were mostly ordinary or empty, home to nothing more than a few pieces of furniture. But these pieces of furniture were also made from Intent Crystals and were fused with the rest of the palace such that they were immovable.


    At this moment, he heard the sounds of fighting.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng swiftly flew toward the source of the sound.


    "My Violet Night Hall saw this first!" a True God expert of Violet Night Hall hollered.


    On the other side, Quasi-God Gui Yi''s team had joined hands with True God Dark Thief, and there was no fear on their faces.


    What''s this? Zhao Feng stared at the item that these two parties were fighting over.


    There were several bright crystalline pearls that exuded an extremely rich Yuan Qi and formidable ripples of Divine Power.


    These are high-quality God Crystals at the very least! Zhao Feng''s mind trembled.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, supreme-quality God Crystals were far too rare. For this reason, high-quality God Crystals were essentially the highest form of currency in circulation.


    However, Zhao Feng was not lacking in God Crystals, so he wouldn''t fight with Violet Night Hall and True God Dark Thief over a few high-quality God Crystals.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng left to search elsewhere.


    "That''s Quasi-God Tian Xue''s group." Zhao Feng saw that Quasi-God Tian Xue''s group was standing in a daze within a secluded hall.


    Zhao Feng could feel that this secluded hall had the thickest concentration of Intent energy.


    "This is¡­?" As he stepped into the hall, Zhao Feng was also struck dumb.


    Three enormous murals had been painted on the walls of this secluded hall, five-colored lights leaping and flashing across them. If one looked carefully, one would gradually make out words and pictures, thrumming with Divine Power.


    "Techniques¡­ combat skills!" Zhao Feng was stunned.


    Zhao Feng even wondered if the techniques and skills on these murals were ones that the Five Elements God Lord had cultivated.


    However, there was far too much information contained in these murals. Even with his left eye, Zhao Feng would find it very difficult to memorize even one of the techniques within a short time.


    One member of Quasi-God Tian Xue''s group was focused on a single mural, doing their utmost to record all the information contained within. The rest of them were searching the room for other objects.


    This secluded hall is rather special, and it even has techniques and combat skills of unknown level. Perhaps this is where the Five Elements God Lord actually cultivated!


    Astonished, Zhao Feng began to inspect the room with sharp eyes.


    Other than those ephemeral words and pictures, the most striking thing in the room was the enormous stone sculpture as well as the stone pillar that had several words carved upon it: All that is here is left to the one destined.


    Those words exuded a powerful and timeworn aura. The wondrous principles suffused within them seemed to want to plunge Zhao Feng into a nigh inescapable trance.


    However, Zhao Feng had an extremely formidable will, and he quickly managed to break free of this spell.


    Zhao Feng bitterly smiled. To all of them, this was a treasure ground, but the person who had written those words clearly didn''t view it very highly.


    In addition, this expert might have said that everything here was left to whoever was destined for it, but the structure of this palace was far too sturdy. It was simply impossible to pull off the Intent Crystals that formed it.


    "This wine cup can be taken away!" a True God in Quasi-God Tian Xue''s group called out in surprise.


    In a flash, everyone else in the group gathered around the wine cup.


    This wine cup had a weaker connection to the palace than the other objects, so it truly could be taken away. There was also a wine jar next to the wine cup, but it was completely empty.


    "Use Intent energy to shake this wine cup loose!"


    The entire group prepared to take this five-colored wine cup.


    The Intent Crystals that formed this wine cup were extremely high level. They would be useful to anyone below the Ancient God level.


    At this moment, Quasi-God Gui Yi, Quasi-God Zi Feng, and True God Dark Thief arrived with their teams.


    "This mural seems to contain some sort of powerful combat skill!" A Quasi-God prodigy immediately immersed himself in a mural.


    "This statue must be hiding something!" Several True Gods began to inspect the statue.


    True God Dark Thief''s eyes twinkled as he began to carefully inspect every inch of the hall, apparently searching for something.


    Cushions? Did the Five Elements God Lord cultivate on top of them? Zhao Feng''s gaze settled on the three cushions arrayed in front of the huge statue.


    If the Five Elements God Lord cultivated on top of these cushions, there was probably something special about them.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye was covered in a faint golden luster as he began to inspect the cushions formed from Intent Crystals.


    Eh? This place seems to be connected to the core of the underground array!


    Although Zhao Feng couldn''t clearly make out or understand the array beneath this palace, he could at least estimate the location of the array''s core.


    Curious, Zhao Feng walked to the cushion in the center and sat down.

 1228 The Core of the Palace

    Chapter 1228 - The Core of the Palace


    The moment Zhao Feng seated himself on the five-colored cushion, he immediately sensed that terrifying waves of Five Elements Intent were surging toward him. At this moment, Zhao Feng felt like his soul was on the verge of collapse, and his face began to twist and grimace.


    "Eh, what''s wrong with the brat?"


    Zhao Feng''s odd movements naturally attracted the attention of the others. In addition, the movement of the Intent energy within the palace was by no means small.


    But many people merely glanced at Zhao Feng before ignoring him.


    "Heh, that cushion is probably meant specifically for cultivating in this place. If an ordinary person sits on it, they simply won''t be able to endure the enormous amounts of Intent energy in this palace!" Quasi-God Zi Feng jeered.


    Normal cultivation grounds would have special arrays meant for gathering Yuan Qi. This place was no exception; the cushions were definitely capable of gathering the surrounding Divine Power and Intent energy.


    However, the master of this palace was some obscenely powerful existence. For a mere Quasi-God to sit on one of the cushions to cultivate was suicidal. Besides, everyone who came here would think of ways to dig up treasure. Very few people had the time to waste on cultivating.


    How dangerous! The array on this cushion has already lost its effectiveness¡­. That suction gathering all the surrounding energy is purely due to the cushion''s own abilities!


    Zhao Feng was in a cold sweat, his heart thumping in fear. If the cushion''s cultivation array had still been active, Zhao Feng would have probably been crushed to death by an insane surge of energy. Despite that, Zhao Feng still needed to do his utmost just to handle the inherent cultivation effect of this cushion.


    It wasn''t even Zhao Feng''s intention to cultivate. He was just wanted to know why the core of the underground array was near these three cushions.


    As Zhao Feng circulated his Divine Power to resist the crushing tide of energy, he released his Divine Sense to probe into the cushion.


    It turned out that it was actually rather easy for Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense to enter the cushion. This was quite shocking to Zhao Feng, because it was very difficult for the Divine Senses of Quasi-Gods and True Gods to probe into any other part of this palace.


    Kabooom!


    Boundless floods of Yuan Qi and Intent energy continued to gather around Zhao Feng.


    When cultivating on the outside world, Zhao Feng had always done his utmost to devour this worldly energy for his own use, but now, Zhao Feng needed to do everything to resist this power and absorb it bit by bit.


    After a few moments, Zhao Feng realized that his understanding of Five Elements Intent was solidifying, and his cultivation foundation had also grown firmer.


    However, Zhao Feng continued to focus on the cushion beneath him rather than cultivation.


    There appears to be something underneath the crystal planks beneath this cushion, Zhao Feng inwardly mused.


    His Divine Sense had sensed some kind of special object.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, another team arrived at this secluded hall.


    "More and more people will start showing up at this palace, making it even more difficult to get anything from this place," Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    Zhao Feng had not encountered any significant dangers on this venture, but he had not found any great fortune either.


    Forget it! I''ll just see what''s hidden beneath the floor of this palace!


    After all, Zhao Feng was the only one who had discovered this suspicious point. Perhaps it was a treasure. If Zhao Feng could get it without alarming anyone, he would be content with his gains and leave.


    After taking a deep breath, Zhao Feng focused his mind and threw all his Divine Sense down below.


    This time, Zhao Feng succeeded in reaching the object. The object was a five-colored crystalline sphere, differing greatly in terms of construction when compared to the chestnut-shaped crystals that formed the palace.


    This doesn''t seem to be an Intent Crystal¡­. Zhao Feng was even more confused.


    After spending so long here, Zhao Feng managed to learn from listening to others that those chestnut-shaped crystals were called Intent Crystals.


    However, although he wasn''t sure exactly what this five-colored sphere was, he was certain that it was a treasure.


    In addition, Zhao Feng discovered that his Divine Sense was actually very far from the cushion. On the other hand, the other walls of the palace were impermeable to the Divine Senses of ordinary Quasi-Gods and True Gods. This meant that this place had been intentionally left open by the Five Elements God Lord.


    Why is that? Zhao Feng''s curiosity intensified.


    He sensed that he had touched upon the true fortune of this palace.


    Time slowly passed, and more and more people began to appear in this crystalline palace. For example, in the secluded hall that Zhao Feng was in alone, six people were seated cross-legged on the ground, comprehending the techniques and combat skills on the murals. There were also quite a few people squatting around the enormous status, apparently searching for something.


    "It''s that brat!" The Sky Water Yao Race''s Hou Qing immediately noticed Zhao Feng.


    "Forget about him for now. Search for treasure!" Quasi-God Lin Guang''s eyes flashed with frigid light. The matter of Zhao Feng was insignificant compared to the treasures of this place.


    "That brat is fine and still cultivating on the cushion?" Quasi-God Zi Feng, Quasi-God Tian Xue, and several others were quite surprised to see Zhao Feng still sitting on the cushion.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s mind suddenly shook in surprise.


    I can use my Divine Sense and Five Elements Intent to refine this five-colored sphere! Zhao Feng was dumbstruck.


    Objects that could be refined were normal divine weapons or unique artifacts. Although Zhao Feng couldn''t determine which class this five-colored sphere belonged to, it was definitely no ordinary item.


    If I can refine it, I can probably take it into my Interspatial Dimension! Zhao Feng mentally noted.


    Zhao Feng concentrated and began to refine the sphere.


    At the start, the process was very slow, but after refining a portion of it, the pace began to accelerate.


    After some time, the Intent energy around Zhao Feng became less violent and began to meekly dither around him, waiting to be absorbed. Zhao Feng, all his concentration focused on refining the five-colored sphere, failed to notice this.


    Okay, I''ve already refined forty percent! Elated, Zhao Feng continued to refine it.


    At this moment, Quasi-God Gui Yi went to the cushion next to Zhao Feng and sat down.


    Boom!


    The sudden surge of Five Elements Intent energy almost knocked him unconscious. However, Quasi-God Gui Yi was the strongest prodigy of a peak four-star faction and had great reserves of power to draw on. He quickly managed to recover.


    "What a formidable cultivation effect. I can bring all my Five Elements Intent to Level Two here," Quasi-God Gui Yi muttered.


    His group had already scoured this place and would not come away empty-handed. Now, Quasi-God Gui Yi planned to cultivate in this area and advance his Intent energy, hoping to obtain an even higher ranking in the upcoming Quasi-God Ranking Competition. Moreover, he was already skilled in Five Elements Intent, so this place was an ideal cultivation ground for him.


    I''ve already refined fifty percent. This is¡­ Zhao Feng made a startling discovery.


    The moment he refined fifty percent of the five-colored sphere, he discovered that he could use the sphere to have his Divine Sense wander through certain parts of the palace to see what was going on there.


    It had to be emphasized that Quasi-Gods and True Gods did not have the power to push their Divine Sense through the walls of Intent Crystal. But now, Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense could travel through the palace to other areas.


    Could this five-colored sphere be the core of this crystalline palace? Zhao Feng''s mind leaped to an astonishing conclusion.


    If this really was the case, then if he did refine it completely, he would have control over the entire palace. The mere thought made his heart beat faster, and his breath turned ragged.


    But Zhao Feng quickly regained his rationality.


    If that is the case, I''ll become targeted by everyone. I simply don''t have the strength to keep this crystalline palace!


    Zhao Feng slightly grimaced. This was a vast fortune, but not one that he really wanted to receive.


    I''ll refine it first. If it really comes to it, I''ll just abandon this palace.


    He had already refined fifty percent of the sphere. At a time like this, even Zhao Feng found it rather hard to just let go.


    Besides, once he refined the palace, it wouldn''t be difficult for him to find some other way to benefit from it. If he couldn''t keep the palace himself, he could hand it to some other faction and gain their protection. That wouldn''t be a bad deal at all.


    As Zhao Feng continued to refine the five-colored sphere, more and more experts began to gather in the palace. It wasn''t much longer afterward that the last cushion was occupied by a Rank Four True God.


    "Golden-haired kid, step aside and let me look at this cushion!" Quasi-God Lin Guang of the Sky Water Yao Race came to Zhao Feng and stood in front of him with a mocking smile.


    His group had already searched the place, but they hadn''t found anything. After all, they arrived rather late. For this reason, Lin Guang had come to make trouble for Zhao Feng. He did not have the restriction of the martial gathering binding him in this place; he just needed to find a random reason so that he could attack Zhao Feng.


    Quite a few people looked at Zhao Feng with gloating expressions on their faces. They all knew that Zhao Feng had a rather significant feud with the Sky Water Yao Race.


    "I told you to leave. Didn''t you hear me!?" Quasi-God Lin Guang suddenly barked, and he even used Soul energy to assault Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Scram!" At this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly opened his eyes and bellowed a single word. At the same time, Zhao Feng''s left eye began to gather an incredible amount of Eye Intent.


    "What did you say?" Quasi-God Lin Guang''s face turned wrathful. Zhao Feng dared to tell him to scram?


    Zhao Feng''s left eye exploded with the light of Tribulation Lightning.


    Kacrack!


    A twisted Tribulation Lightning flame exploded against Quasi-God Lin Guang''s soul.


    "Ah¡­!" Caught off guard, Quasi-God Lin Guang felt his soul barraged with lightning that unleashed a flood of heart-rending pain at his mind.


    "What''s going on?"


    The surrounding crowd instantly focused on Quasi-God Lin Guang.


    Lin Guang had clearly been bullying Zhao Feng just moments ago, but now, he was the one that was shrilly screaming? Zhao Feng might have had the strength to enter the Quasi-God Ranking, but he couldn''t possibly force Quasi-God Lin Guang into this state with just a single move!


    "Tribulation Lightning energy!" Quasi-God Tian Xue''s gaze focused on Quasi-God Lin Guang''s soul as she proclaimed.


    "Oh? So, he was hiding his strength before?" Quasi-God Zi Feng was somewhat astonished, but then he revealed a hint of disdain. Even if Zhao Feng was hiding his strength, he still wouldn''t be able to take a single blow from him.


    As expected, this brat isn''t normal. In a corner of the secluded hall, True God Dark Thief slightly opened his eyes before closing them again.


    "How could this be!?" Hou Qing stared at this scene in shock.


    The strongest genius of the Sky Water Yao Race ¨C the ranked-seventeenth Quasi-God Lin Guang ¨C was beaten into such a miserable state by a single eye-bloodline technique from Zhao Feng? Was this his true strength? Was Zhao Feng just hiding his techniques and power earlier?


    A few moments later, Quasi-God Lin Guang recovered. His eyes were tinged with fear as he stared at Zhao Feng, and for a few moments, he was too afraid to strike back.


    But at this moment, the Rank Five True God from the Sky Water Yao Race appeared at his side.


    "Kill him!" Quasi-God Lin Guang howled, his face contorted with savagery.

 1229 Targeted by Everyone

    Chapter 1229 - Targeted by Everyone


    The surrounding experts were all dumbfounded. Quasi-God Lin Guang had been so intimidated by one attack from Zhao Feng that he no longer dared to directly attack him, instead requesting for the Sky Water Yao Race''s Rank Five True God to do so for him.


    A few people present felt that this was rather unfair. For the junior generation to have a powerful True God of the older generation settle its grudges, the Sky Water Yao Race was truly too shameless.


    But they had no relationship with Zhao Feng, so they naturally wouldn''t offend the Sky Water Yao Race for his sake.


    "Hah, that brat was too savage!" In his corner, True God Dark Thief gave a wicked chuckle.


    Quasi-God Zi Feng also made a faint smile. He was also enjoying this scene.


    "Daring to injure a member of the Sky Water Yao Race, you don''t want to live anymore, right!?" The Rank Five True God of the Sky Water Yao Race glared at Zhao Feng, his face exuding pressure and dignity.


    Zhao Feng indifferently glanced at this Rank Five True God. He was currently refining the core of this five-colored crystalline palace, a process that could not be interrupted. However, Zhao Feng had already refined more than fifty percent of the core. At this moment, it was not difficult for him to use a part of the palace''s energy to deal with this Rank Five True God.


    But if Zhao Feng used this palace''s power, he would expose everything. When the time came, he would be surrounded and attacked by everyone here. No matter how talented he was, he would still be doomed.


    "The people of the Sky Water Yao Race truly know no shame. The junior is inferior to another, so he has an old monster that has lived for tens of thousands of years go forward in his place!" An elderly voice came from the entrance to this secluded hall.


    The Sky Water Yao Race''s Rank Five True God immediately frowned. Just hearing this voice informed him of who had arrived.


    "The Sky Haze Race wants to involve itself in this matter?" The Rank Five True God of the Sky Water Yao Race coldly snorted.


    "First, this old one can''t stand the conduct of the Sky Water Yao Race. Second, that kid is an honored guest of my Sky Haze Race. If the Sky Water Yao Race wants to injure him, it will be the same as injuring a member of the Sky Haze Race. How could I just sit back and watch?" The blue-haired old lady of the Sky Haze Race''s words left the Rank Five True God of the Sky Water Yao Race unable to retort.


    "Hmph!" With a harrumph, the Rank Five True God of the Sky Water Yao Race turned and began to ignore Zhao Feng.


    "The moment this brat leaves the range of the Sky Haze Race''s people, I''ll kill him!" the Rank Five True God messaged Quasi-God Lin Guang.


    Lin Guang could do nothing else except leave Zhao Feng be for now.


    "Many thanks!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    The blue-haired lady merely nodded in reply. After all, the Sky Haze Race had already decided to recruit Zhao Feng. A minor matter like this was nothing at all.


    The people of the Sky Haze Race began to search this secluded hall. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng continued to refine the palace''s core.


    "Eh? This is¡­?" At this moment, Quasi-God Gui Yi gave a cry of alarm from his cushion.


    Just now, he had sent his Divine Sense through the cushion and discovered some mysterious object.


    What kind of treasure is this? Quasi-God Gui Yi was ecstatic. He had been planning to cultivate here and raise the level of his Intents, little expecting to come across a new treasure.


    Quasi-God Gui Yi began to slowly probe the five-colored sphere.


    It''s possible to refine this object! Quasi-God Gui Yi was exceptionally agitated. Objects that could be refined were normally divine weapons or unique artifacts.


    After making this discovery, Quasi-God Gui Yi began to refine the five-colored sphere. However, after refining ten percent, he suddenly encountered a large obstruction.


    There''s someone else refining this five-colored sphere! Quasi-God Gui Yi''s face twisted in shock.


    Through his energy that was refining the sphere, Quasi-God Gui Yi could guess who the other person refining the five-colored sphere was.


    On the center cushion, Zhao Feng had already realized that someone else was refining the core.


    It seems like the other two cushions can also communicate with the palace''s core. But I''ve already refined eighty percent of the core while Quasi-God Gui Yi is only at ten percent!


    Zhao Feng''s expression slightly sank. He decided to ignore the part that Quasi-God Gui Yi had refined and refine the remaining unowned ten percent as quickly as possible.


    Damn! This person is far too ahead of me in his progress on refining the sphere! Quasi-God Gui Yi was both nervous and angry.


    At first, he hadn''t really cared when he realized that it was Zhao Feng who was refining the five-colored sphere. This was because his Five Elements Intent and Soul Intent were far stronger than Zhao Feng''s, so he could refine the sphere much more quickly.


    But as he fought with Zhao Feng''s strength, he realized that he wasn''t even competition for Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Bang!


    At this moment, an explosion came from a corner of the hall, and the Intent energy of the palace began to surge.


    "What''s going on?"


    "What happened?


    This explosion had attracted everyone to this area.


    Thwish!


    All they saw was a gloomy light shooting over the ground as it left the secluded chamber.


    "That''s True God Dark Thief! He definitely managed to get something!" a Rank Four True God called out in alarm.


    As a renowned thief and tomb robber, True God Dark Thief was extremely familiar with regards to some legacies, tombs, and secret dimensions. It was the case that, even when great legacies or secret dimensions had appeared in the past, as long as True God Dark Thief appeared, he would almost always gain the most.


    "After him!" A powerful squad immediately took off in pursuit.


    Everyone knew that this secluded hall within the crystalline palace had the highest chance of holding treasure. However, everyone had searched for so long, but only a few powerful factions had gotten anything from it, like Quasi-God Tian Xue''s faction, Quasi-God Gui Yi''s faction, and Violet Night Hall.


    The rest were mostly still searching the room or comprehending the techniques and skills on the murals. Now that True God Dark Thief seemed to have gotten some great fortune, they immediately shifted their target to him.


    Of course, those who understood True God Dark Thief a little paid this no attention. True God Dark Thief was an extremely powerful Rank Five True God. In particular, his mastery of Shadow Intent made him nigh untraceable, and his escape techniques were of an extremely profound level. Even Rank Six True Gods would find it hard to catch him.


    There were two other people in the secluded hall who cared nothing for True God Dark Thief. Those two were naturally the ones refining the five-colored sphere: Zhao Feng and Quasi-God Gui Yi.


    By now, Zhao Feng had already refined ninety percent of the sphere.


    Not good! He managed to refine the remaining portion! Quasi-God Gui Yi mentally gasped in shock.


    He discovered just now that he no longer had any part of the orb to refine.


    If I fight him, I''ll lose for sure! Quasi-God Gui Yi was forced to admit this point.


    This was like nine members of a ten-member team following Zhao Feng''s orders while Quasi-God Gui Yi only had one. No matter what he did, he would still lose!


    "Golden-haired brat, just what sort of treasure are you refining underground!?" Quasi-God Gui Yi opened his eyes and suddenly bellowed.


    "What? That golden-haired boy is refining a treasure?" a Quasi-God in the hall said in shock.


    "No wonder he refused to leave that cushion, not even when I was about to attack him. So, it turns out he was refining a treasure!" the Sky Water Yao Race''s Rank Five True God said, his eyes glimmering.


    At the same time, Quasi-God Gui Yi sent a message to his group; "Forget about the golden-haired kid. Do everything you can to protect me!"


    As long as other people attacked Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng would not be able to continue refining the sphere.


    Quasi-God Gui Yi also sent a message to the experts of Violet Night Hall requesting their assistance. After all, Violet Night Hall was one of the strongest factions here. With Violet Night Hall''s protection, Quasi-God Gui Yi would feel more confident that he would be first to refine the five-colored sphere.


    "Out of the way!" a Rank Four True God roared as he circulated his Divine Power and lunged at Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    A dark silver robe suddenly appeared on Zhao Feng''s body, the silver runes gleaming and twinkling upon it.


    The moment Zhao Feng put on the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Wang and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon emerged from its dimension.


    "Seeking death!" The moment the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon appeared, it began to circulate its terrifying Origin Destruction Energy.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s entire body began to blaze with demonic flames, exuding a pressure that suppressed all living beings.


    "This bloodline energy¡­!"


    The experts who were just preparing to attack Zhao Feng together suddenly froze. All of them were members of ancient races, but their ancient bloodlines appeared to be suppressed and unusable in front of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Kabooom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon swept its claws, covered in black and red draconic flames, at the Rank Four True God.


    "Ah¡­!"


    The Rank Four True God was caught completely off guard by this attack, and he was struck by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attack. The black and red flames enveloped him and began to burn away everything.


    Rooooar!


    Pushing its bloodline to the limit, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon raised its head upward and roared. That thin bloodline originating from the Destruction Dragon Race was completely stimulated, and black and red flames swept through the surroundings.


    Anyone weaker than a Rank Three True God was forced to kneel on the ground, their bodies constantly trembling.


    "This¡­ could it be the Destruction Dragon Race bloodline!?" A Rank Five True God of Violet Night Hall stared in shock at the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    The Destruction Dragon Race was a destructive species ranked in the top ten of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Before the terrifying bloodline of this race, they found it impossible to use most of the power of their own bloodlines.


    If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had an even higher cultivation, it could have completely suppressed their bloodlines and made them completely useless.


    "This¡­ how?" Quasi-God Gui Yi had not expected for Zhao Feng to have a helper like this. Moreover, the origin of this helper was far too shocking. It was from a bloodline ranked in the top ten of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    For a moment, Quasi-God Gui Yi completely forgot about refining the five-colored sphere.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng put all his strength into slowly forcing out Quasi-God Gui Yi''s power from the sphere.


    "No¡­!" Quasi-God Gui Yi cried out in alarm as he jumped to his feet. Zhao Feng''s counterattack was too sudden, so he was incapable of fighting back.


    "Hurry and kill him! This golden-haired kid is refining the most precious treasure in this palace!" Quasi-God Gui Yi immediately roared.


    "Attack! This kid hasn''t left this cushion at all. What sort of treasure is down below!?" a Quasi-God prodigy said, his eyes shining with greed.


    "Kill!" Quasi-God Zi Feng growled as he prepared to attack.


    Nearly thirty experts in the hall lunged at Zhao Feng. And this was after True God Dark Thief had drawn away a bunch of experts. Otherwise, even more experts would have been targeting Zhao Feng.


    But right now, Zhao Feng was only a tiny sliver away from completely driving out Quasi-God Gui Yi''s energy and completely refining the five-colored sphere. He did not have the focus for anything else.

 1230 Successful Refinemen

    Chapter 1230 - Successful Refinement


    Eighty percent of the people in the secluded hall were attacking Zhao Feng. Even the other teams in the five-colored palace had come over to see what was going on.


    "Brother Zhao¡­" Quasi-God Jian Feng was at a loss for what to do. Zhao Feng was facing too many opponents. Even someone like Quasi-God Jian Feng was a little afraid.


    "Don''t act impulsively!" the blue-haired old lady of the Sky Haze Race immediately warned.


    A small team like theirs would be of no help to Zhao Feng and would only be digging their own grave. If they moved with the crowd to snatch treasure, it was also very likely that they would go away empty-handed.


    A few of the weaker teams chose the same option as the Sky Haze Race and stayed on the sidelines.


    "Kill!"


    Nearly thirty experts now pressed down upon Zhao Feng''s group of three, immediately applying so much pressure that they found it difficult to move.


    "What do we do¡­?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon became worried.


    It never expected for Zhao Feng to call it out into a situation like this. Nearly thirty Quasi-Gods and True God were attacking, each of them rather powerful in their own way, and there were even five Rank Five True Gods.


    Even with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s incredible bloodline, it could not block everyone here and even might die trying.


    "Allow me!" Zhao Wang stepped forward. His thoughts were connected to Zhao Feng''s, so the two didn''t need to discuss plans to act.


    Swish!


    A pitch-black and sinister staff appeared in Zhao Wang''s hands, suffused with a deathly mist. Circulating the Eye of Death to communicate with the Staff of Death Curse, Zhao Wang stabbed the staff into the ground.


    "Death Curse Expulsion!" Zhao Wang''s Eye of Death spun into action, and a vast Eye Intent and Soul power surged into the Staff of Death Curse.


    Kabooom!


    Black and sinister Death mist began to rise from the Staff of Death Curse, swiftly spreading into the vicinity. This black mist contained an extremely profound Death energy that could set everything marching on the path to death.


    The Staff of Death Curse was of the same level of quality as the Spacetime Robe, and it was also an offensive divine artifact that was very suitable for Zhao Wang. It could not only increase his Death Intent but also boost the power of his Eye of Death. Moreover, the attacks of the Staff of Death Curse were also mixed with the even more profound Curse power.


    "What a powerful Death energy!"


    "That''s the Eye of Death!"


    The assaulting experts immediately began to call out in alarm.


    The Eye of Death was a descendant of one of the more offensive Eight Great God Eyes. Death energy was a power that all living creatures feared.


    At this moment, Zhao Wang was using the Eye of Death and the Staff of Death Curse to unleash the forbidden secret arts of the staff. The evil and sinister power made all the surrounding experts tremble in fear.


    "This¡­ what sort of divine weapon is this!?" a Quasi-God who had charged forward too much immediately stopped as he shrilly screamed. A curse had infected his body while death was eating away at his life and making him grow older.


    "This divine weapon¡­ could it be the Staff of Death Curse!?" A skinny elder with coiled horns growing from his head trembled in fright.


    With so many Quasi-Gods and True Gods from powerful factions present, one of them would inevitably recognize the origins of the staff in Zhao Wang''s hand.


    Awoooo!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon roared and began to fill the hall with its red and black draconic flames.


    Since they both used their most powerful attacks, they managed to stop the advance of the more-than-twenty experts surrounding them.


    "Kill that man! The divine weapon in his hands is at least a high-quality divine weapon!"


    Originally, the crowd only wanted to kill Zhao Feng to get the treasure that he was refining. They now also craved the powerful divine weapon that Zhao Wang used to stop all of them.


    Boom! Bang!


    When the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Wang worked together, their attacks were incredibly powerful, but when all their enemies worked together, the duo''s attacks were easily broken. In addition, the duo''s attacks were extremely exhausting supreme techniques that could not be used repeatedly.


    "Ice Destruction Palm!"


    "Wind Lightning Slash!"


    ¡­


    After breaking through the attacks of Zhao Wang and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, the nearly thirty experts began to launch their own attacks.


    "Hmph, truly audacious! They dare to try to snatch up treasures in front of me!?" Quasi-God Zi Feng coldly laughed.


    "Violet Night Illusion Strike!" Circulating his Divine Power, he created a violet figure that charged at Zhao Feng.


    "This kid has a lot of secrets. An assistant from a top ten race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and a comrade with the Eye of Death and a Death divine weapon¡­" Quasi-God Gui Yi''s deep eyes shone with extreme excitement.


    "Heaven Unison Strike!" Quasi-God Gui Yi circulated his Five Elements Intent into a five-colored palm that swung down upon Zhao Feng''s group.


    "Master!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon anxiously called out, its entire body trembling. It could no longer put up any resistance and could only place its hopes on Zhao Feng.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng gave a cold snort from atop the cushion.


    Brrrooom!


    With this single snort, the entire crystalline palace began to shudder. The vast quantities of Five Elements Intent in the palace immediately gathered around Zhao Feng''s group in a five-colored mist of light.


    Zhao Feng no longer had any misgivings and directly harnessed the energy of the palace.


    Zhao Feng was currently in the middle of refining the core and didn''t have much attention to spare. Moreover, his own strength was too low to control all this energy. Thus, all Zhao Feng did was have this energy gather around them in a defensive layer.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    A storm of attacks descended around Zhao Feng''s group. However, the thick five-colored mist blocked out all these attacks.


    This Five Elements energy was too profound. Just by floating around, even without being actively used for attack or defense, it formed a powerful barrier.


    "This person can use the energy of the five-colored crystalline palace!"


    "He must be refining the core of this palace!"


    At this sight, the experts began to attack even more crazily, their faces turning red. This crystalline palace was made of countless high-level Intent Crystals. A battle involving nearly thirty Quasi-Gods and True Gods couldn''t even damage a single piece of the palace. Moreover, the palace was also host to many precious treasures and powerful techniques.


    The value of this palace was enough to make anyone mad. Even a five-star faction would covet it. As long as one could refine the core, they would receive all of this!


    "This brat is refining the core of the palace!" Quasi-God Zi Feng''s eyes froze and then turned insane.


    "He encountered such a great fortune, but alas¡­!" Quasi-God Tian Xue was astonished, but then she shook her head.


    The faction that she belonged to naturally wanted the core to this palace as well. In her view, Zhao Feng could not keep this object and might even pay his life for it.


    "Kill! Stop him!"


    All the True Gods and Quasi-Gods in the hall began to move, and more and more experts and teams were arriving at this secluded hall.


    Zhao Feng''s group of three was now surrounded by more than sixty people, all of them elite prodigies and powerful factions that had taken part in the Gulong Martial Gathering.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    All the experts used their strongest attacks to assault the five-colored mist.


    "As long as we can scatter this layer of energy, they''re finished!" Quasi-God Zi Feng loudly called out.


    "Attack! We can''t let him refine the palace core!" a Quasi-God prodigy yelled.


    Kabooom!


    Endless attacks crashed upon the five-colored mist. Each round of attacks would cause the five-colored mist to grow a little fainter ¨C a little weaker.


    Zhao Feng and his two helpers were soon revealed to the experts.


    "Everyone, focus your attacks on that golden-haired brat!" Quasi-God Zi Feng gave a wicked smile as he stared at Zhao Feng.


    "That''s right! We just need to destroy the five-colored mist in front of that brat!" The other experts swiftly agreed with Quasi-God Zi Feng''s proposal.


    Kabooom!


    Meanwhile, Quasi-God Zi Feng activated his bloodline power, and his body gradually transformed into a dark violet spiritual body.


    "Violet Night Illusion Strike!" Quasi-God Zi Feng unleashed several illusions of violet lightning that shot toward the five-colored mist in front of Zhao Feng.


    Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!


    Each of the violet illusions struck the same place in the mist. The attacks of the other experts landed in the same place as well.


    The mist in front of Zhao Feng grew thinner and thinner, and his face grew more and more distinct. After a few moments, all the five-colored mist in a small area in front of Zhao Feng completely vanished.


    "Okay!" The Rank Five True God of Violet Night Hall gave a shout as he fired off a palm at that gap in the mist.


    Boom!


    The enormous violet palm flew through the gap and at Zhao Feng. All the other attackers rejoiced at this sight.


    But suddenly, a mysterious spatial blur appeared around Zhao Feng''s body. The power of that Rank Five True God''s attack seemed to be transported to another dimension, and it began to weaken. In the end, a faint palm image landed on Zhao Feng''s body and didn''t even make a single ripple.


    "This¡­ what''s going on?" All the attackers were dumbfounded.


    "The robe he''s wearing, could it be¡­ the Spacetime Robe!?" The Rank Five True God''s expression sank.


    The moment Zhao Feng had put on the robe, this True God wondered if it was the Spacetime Robe. But then he remembered that Zhao Feng was a mere Quasi-God without the backing of any faction. How could he have the Spacetime Robe? In addition, Zhao Feng had not used any abilities of the Spacetime Robe, so he came to believe that the robe Zhao Feng was wearing was just an imitation of the Spacetime Robe. Only now did he understand that this was probably the real deal.


    "Just how many secrets does this kid have!?" Quasi-God Zi Feng''s face was incredibly gloomy. He found himself somewhat regretting the fact that he didn''t kill Zhao Feng the moment he had appeared in this five-colored palace.


    "This boy''s a treasury! We can''t let him go!" The surrounding experts were even more provoked by Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Robe, and their attacks grew even more frenzied.


    Boom! Bang!


    Almost all the mist in front of Zhao Feng had disappeared.


    Not even the Spacetime Robe could stop the attacks of so many people! Zhao Feng was doomed!


    But at this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly stood up.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    At this moment, a ball of five-colored light the size of an infant''s fist, shining with five-colored mist, floated out from beneath the ground and landed in front of Zhao Feng.

 1231 Teleporting Away

    Chapter 1231 - Teleporting Away


    Zhao Feng gripped the five-colored sphere in his hand. At this moment, he felt like the entire palace was under his control, and his mind was free to wander to any part of the palace it wished.


    Similarly, the vast Intent of the palace was available for Zhao Feng to move. However, Zhao Feng''s cultivation was still too low to actually use this energy.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In front of the numerous experts, Zhao Feng once more summoned the Intent of the palace to concentrate around him.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    All the attacks were blocked by the five-colored mist around Zhao Feng.


    "Not good! He''s succeeded in refining the core of the palace!" Quasi-God Tian Xue''s clear eyes filled with shock as she immediately began to flee.


    Now that Zhao Feng had refined the crystalline palace, he could move this area''s energy. Even if he couldn''t actually use it, he wouldn''t be easy to deal with.


    "Hurry and run, Quasi-God Zi Feng. This boy has refined the palace core, so no one within the palace can deal with him now!" the Rank Five True God of Violet Night Hall immediately said to Quasi-God Zi Feng.


    Even if Zhao Feng had refined this palace, he wouldn''t be able to keep it in the end. The news of this secret dimension had begun to rapidly spread the moment it appeared, and various powerful factions had already dispatched their experts.


    "What? How could that be?" Quasi-God Zi Feng''s face contorted in shock. In the end, Zhao Feng succeeded in refining the palace core. This made him feel an unprecedented sense of defeat.


    "Run!"


    As the major factions began to retreat, the teams belonging to the other factions also began to grow uneasy. But after thinking about it for a few moments, they understood the reason.


    They weren''t even able to wound Zhao Feng before, so now that Zhao Feng had succeeded in refining the palace, they were even more helpless to do anything against him. Rather, it was time for them to start worrying about their own safety.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    All the experts in the secluded hall immediately began to flee. In a flash, Zhao Feng and his two helpers were the only people left in the secluded hall.


    Of course, this five-colored crystalline palace was rather large, so there were still quite a few other teams still searching in the other rooms and halls. However, when they noticed that the teams belonging to the major factions were rapidly retreating, they sensed that something had gone wrong.


    "All of you should stick around." Zhao Feng didn''t move to chase, instead giving a faint smile.


    His mind flowed into the five-colored sphere, granting him instant control over the entire palace.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng activated the palace''s defensive system.


    "Damn¡­ once the experts of Violet Night Hall arrive, I''ll have that brat die by a death of one thousand cuts!" Quasi-God Zi Feng cursed as he prepared to leave.


    Suddenly, the door in front of him closed with a Clang! At the same moment, all the other entrances of the crystalline palace closed as well.


    The entire palace had been sealed!


    A few of the experts who managed to luckily escape breathed sighs of relief.


    "What does he plan on doing?" After retreating several li, Quasi-God Tian Xue turned and stared at the five-colored palace, her mind in turmoil.


    Other than her, who smoothly managed to escape, the rest of the top twenty prodigies of the Quasi-God Ranking who had attended the martial gathering were all locked within the palace. There were also many prodigies and members of many major factions imprisoned within.


    "That kid believes that he''s invincible after refining the palace. He''s even locked in the people of Violet Night Hall!" A Rank Four True God next to Tian Xue sneered.


    Violet Night Hall was one of the Gulong Zone''s three five-star factions, and Quasi-God Zi Feng was their number one genius. None of the other factions that managed to smoothly reach this five-colored palace were minor factions either.


    "Hmph, that kid is doomed unless he remains in hiding for the rest of his life!" Nearby, a Quasi-God who barely managed to escape spoke with a cold snort.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Meanwhile, more and more people were arriving at the center of the enormous palace that had been built around the crystalline five-colored palace.


    "What''s going on here?" A few of the teams stared in shock at the completely sealed five-colored palace before them. At this moment, they all sensed an enormously powerful energy rising from nearby.


    Boom!


    A horse-faced elder dressed in a blue-and-violet robe suddenly descended. The air was suddenly shrouded in a layer of dark blue light as if the entire world was serving as a foil to this elder.


    The surrounding experts instantly felt their hearts tremble, and their breathing turn ragged.


    "That''s the Ancient God of Stellar Tower!" a True God expert cried out in alarm.


    Five Star Mountain was in the territory of Stellar Tower, so when this small secret dimension appeared, Stellar Tower was the first to know. Now, the Ancient God expert of Stellar Tower had finally arrived.


    This horse-faced elder stared at the five-colored crystalline palace with sparkling eyes, and his breathing became more hurried. The entire palace was made of extremely high-level Intent Crystals, and this was not even considering the treasures the palace itself might contain. Once Stellar Tower obtained this crystalline palace, it wouldn''t even need one thousand years to become one of the few peak four-star factions of the Gulong Zone.


    But this horse-faced elder also knew that, even if this secret dimension was discovered in the territory of Stellar Tower, it would be very difficult for Stellar Tower to keep it.


    "Fifth Elder, a golden-haired boy managed to refine this five-colored crystalline palace. He''s currently sealed the palace and even imprisoned the people of Stellar Tower within¡­" a faction subject to Stellar Tower reported in a trembling voice to the elder.


    "Hmph!" The horse-faced elder coldly harrumphed.


    Everyone present felt like the world shuddered as a terrifying pressure caused their blood to boil and their souls to quiver.


    "Junior, obediently come out. If you hand over the palace, Stellar Tower can guarantee your life!" the horse-faced elder yelled out with an intimidating expression on his face, an enormous wave of sound surging toward the palace.


    More than one hundred people had been imprisoned within the crystalline palace by Zhao Feng.


    "Golden-haired brat, you''ve imprisoned us here, but you don''t dare to kill us!"


    "More and more experts will arrive here, including Rank Seven Ancient Gods. I advise you to let us go. This treasure is not something that you can keep!"


    The people imprisoned in the crystalline palace by Zhao Feng began to mouth out, all of them predicting that Zhao Feng would not dare to do anything to them.


    "Brother Zhao, you should just give this treasure to some major faction in exchange for protection. A hot potato like this isn''t desirable at all!" Quasi-God Jian Feng hurriedly messaged Zhao Feng.


    The Sky Haze Race was too far from this place and could not protect Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, one Ancient God had already arrived outside. More and more experts would soon follow, and Zhao Feng would not be able to stay in this place forever. If an Ancient God could not deal with this palace, there would come a day in which the God Lord of Violet Night Hall would personally descend upon this place. When that time came, even if Zhao Feng handed over the palace, he would find it very hard to keep his life.


    Swish!


    With a flutter of his silver robe, Zhao Feng recalled Zhao Wang and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon into the Spacetime Robe Dimension. Zhao Feng then chose to pass through one of the large doors of the palace and appear in the outside world.


    "He''s come out! He was the one who refined the palace!"


    The moment Zhao Feng flew out of the five-colored palace, he attracted the attention of everyone present.


    "I didn''t think that this kid would find the core of the palace and even refine it!" True God Dark Thief murmured in shock from his hiding spot in a corner.


    "Hand it over!" The horse-faced elder of Stellar Tower stared at Zhao Feng with a dignified and solemn expression. In his view, Zhao Feng had appeared at this moment because he planned to hand over the palace and seek the protection of Stellar Tower.


    Ancient God¡­! Zhao Feng looked at the horse-faced elder, his expression rather grave.


    The first time Zhao Feng had encountered an Ancient God was within the Ancient Dream Realm. At that time, the Red Flame Qilin was extremely far away, so Zhao Feng wasn''t able to carefully perceive its strength.


    But now, this Ancient God of Stellar Tower, merely by standing in front of him, even intentionally suppressing his aura, made Zhao Feng feel an irresistible feeling of helplessness.


    Swish!


    A five-colored sphere of light appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    "Good." A smile appeared on the horse-faced elder''s face. He was extremely satisfied with Zhao Feng''s compliance. When the time came, Stellar Tower could preserve Zhao Feng''s life as long as no ridiculously powerful faction targeted him.


    Although Stellar Tower might find it impossible to keep this five-colored crystalline palace, in the time Stellar Tower possessed the palace, it would do its utmost to get as much benefit from it as possible.


    Suddenly, the sphere of light in Zhao Feng''s hand began to shine with a five-colored halo. With this, figures began to float out from the palace. There were thirty-some people in this group, the Sky Haze Race''s people among them.


    "What''s this kid doing?"


    Some nearby experts were rather confused by this. If Zhao Feng wanted to release his captives, shouldn''t he have released them all? Why was it only thirty-some people?


    "You didn''t attack me earlier, so I''ll keep you alive," Zhao Feng lightly stated.


    Boom!


    With these words, the five-colored palace suddenly pulled itself from the ground. All the Five Elements Intent in the surrounding began to churn and surge, making it impossible to clearly see what was going on. The five-colored palace flew into the sky and began to spin around, gradually getting smaller until it ultimately entered the five-colored sphere.


    "Junior, do you not plan to hand it over?" The horse-faced elder was clearly displeased by Zhao Feng''s words and actions. An invisible and tremendous power instantly began to descend upon Zhao Feng.


    "I will not hand this thing over!" Zhao Feng gripped the sphere of light and took several steps forward.


    Quasi-God Jian Feng slightly shook his head. What else could Zhao Feng do besides hand it over?


    Many of the people present couldn''t help but laugh. Zhao Feng was far too much of a fool. Even though he was alone, he still dared to try to claim this treasure as his own.


    "You''re the one who wanted this!" The horse-faced elder''s face shifted as he prepared to attack. In a flash, space began to rumble and boom. A pressure that could crush all thing descended, causing everyone to involuntarily tremble. Everyone weaker than a Rank Three True God became incapable of movement.


    Suddenly, a dazzling five-colored light appeared under Zhao Feng''s feet. Countless array inscriptions began to spread out and link together, eventually forming an enormous array.


    "That is¡­? Not good!" The horse-faced elder instantly grimaced. His attention had been entirely focused on Zhao Feng and the five-colored palace, so when the five-colored palace vanished into the sphere, he failed to notice that there was an array in the area the palace had occupied.


    Boom! Bang!


    A vast pressure coupled with tremendous Divine Power thundered toward Zhao Feng. The horse-faced elder wanted to prevent this teleportation array from activating, but his attack was repelled the moment it collided with the five-colored light.


    Bzzz! Hisss!


    In a burst of intense spatial ripples, Zhao Feng vanished from this dimension.


    Everyone stood dumbstruck as they stared at where Zhao Feng was standing just moments ago, but Stellar Tower''s Ancient God expert had an expression as cold as ice.


    No one had expected that this palace would have a teleportation array beneath it! And Zhao Feng used it to teleport away with the five-colored palace.


    "Hmph, I''d like to see where you can run!" The horse-faced elder gave an angry snort as his body vanished.


    Even if Zhao Feng had used the teleportation array to escape this area, it was impossible for him to have left the Gulong Zone!

 1232 Gulong Quakes

    Chapter 1232 - Gulong Quakes


    Even in a situation where an Ancient God was present, Zhao Feng still managed to escape, and nobody knew where he had been teleported to. But one could be certain that Zhao Feng had not left the Gulong Zone. Even the farthest range teleportation array of the Gulong Zone could not directly teleport one from this area to an area outside the Gulong Zone.


    "Let''s go." Quasi-God Tian Xue was in a rather complicated mood.


    The man who looked at her in Sea Pearl Tower and gave a soft sigh and shake of his head put on a stupendous display in the Gulong Martial Gathering, defeating all his challengers. Later on, in the secret dimension, he defeated Quasi-God Lin Guang, refined the core of the five-colored palace, and safely escaped in front of an Ancient God. In addition, Zhao Feng had imprisoned seventy to eighty experts, including Quasi-God Zi Feng of Violet Night Hall, the rank twelfth Quasi-God Gui Yi, and many Quasi-Gods and True Gods of powerful factions.


    Zhao Feng could be said to have made the entire Gulong Zone quake! It wouldn''t take long before the entire Gulong Zone was turned upside down in search of Zhao Feng.


    "That brat is doomed!" Quite a few people spat out these words before leaving.


    Even if Zhao Feng had taken the crystalline palace with him, there were still more Intent Crystals and treasures to be had elsewhere in this secret dimension.


    "I hope that Brother Zhao can leave the Gulong Zone as quickly as possible¡­." Quasi-God Jian Feng was rather worried. After all, Zhao Feng''s actions were far too shocking. He even dared to imprison geniuses of five-star factions. The abilities of a single five-star faction could make all of the Gulong Zone quake.


    Besides that, Zhao Feng had also imprisoned the members of dozens of factions of varying size.


    "Let''s go. Not even the Sky Haze Race can do anything about this matter!" The old lady from the Sky Haze Race sighed. They had finally found a promising seedling, but then this seedling had gone and created a massive disaster. The Sky Haze Race couldn''t help even if it wanted to.


    Afterward, the crowd gathered here completely dispersed.


    ¡­


    An array outline appeared, and five-colored lights flashed as Zhao Feng''s body slowly manifested.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    After a single use, the array inscriptions beneath Zhao Feng''s feet completely vanished.


    Zhao Feng''s surroundings were pitch-black, and there was nothing but rocks and dirt nearby.


    "I''m underground?"


    With a sweep of Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense, he confirmed his whereabouts. At the same time, he also discovered that there was a substandard God Crystal vein nearby.


    "It seems like the Five Elements God Lord is extremely cautious," Zhao Feng sighed in wonder.


    While refining the palace core, Zhao Feng had slowly begun to grasp the nature of the array beneath the palace. Once he completely refined the core, Zhao Feng understood the use of the array.


    If he had not known about this teleportation array, Zhao Feng would have not kept those people imprisoned within the five-colored palace. He probably would have simply handed over the refined palace core to Stellar Tower''s Ancient God.


    "The Five Elements God Lord probably prepared that array for someone like me," Zhao Feng muttered.


    With a teleportation array beneath the cultivation ground, one could teleport away even if one''s enemies were present. Moreover, the other end of the teleportation array had been built on top of a God Crystal vein, ensuring that the array could be smoothly activated no matter what.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng used Earth Escape to burrow out of the ground.


    He appeared in a lush and humid forest. This was a boundless sea of green in which ancient trees soared into the sky. There were also many dangers hidden within. Occasionally, one could even see a few flitting shadows in the clouds overhead.


    Zhao Feng soared straight into the clouds, immediately sending a flock of Yao birds scattering in panic.


    After pushing the vision of his left eye to its maximum, Zhao Feng could see for more than ten thousand li. After observing his surroundings for a very long time, Zhao Feng was able to confirm his position.


    "Wonderful! This teleportation array has saved me an entire year of travel!" Zhao Feng elatedly said.


    Zhao Feng had been teleported in the direction of the Ziling Zone, and the distance covered was enormous, taking him right past a peak four-star faction.


    Of course, he only knew where he was because of the map Quasi-God Jian Feng had given him.


    Swish!


    A five-colored sphere appeared in Zhao Feng''s hands, a five-colored palace within it.


    Zhao Feng''s mind was connected with this palace; even without entering, he could sense the endless ripples of energy and furious roars from within.


    "Damn it! What''s going on outside?"


    "That golden-haired kid left and hasn''t come back! Does he plan to keep us trapped here forever?"


    The nearly eighty people had gathered together and were focusing their attacks on one of the palace''s gates. However, the five-colored palace remained impervious to their assaults.


    Suddenly, a golden-haired figure appeared behind them.


    "Golden-haired brat, hurry and release me, or else Violet Night Hall won''t let you go!" Quasi-God Zi Feng immediately bellowed.


    "By imprisoning us, you''ve offended all the factions behind us. You''d best think twice about this!" a young Quasi-God threatened.


    "We''re no longer in that secret dimension," Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    The palace suddenly became transparent, allowing everyone to see what the outside world looked like.


    "Where is this!?"


    "How did you manage to safely leave that secret dimension!?"


    The five-colored palace once more echoed with shouts and roars.


    Countless experts had been searching for treasure within that secret dimension. How could they permit Zhao Feng to safely leave with this kind of treasure? Moreover, the powerful True Gods and Ancient Gods of some powerful factions had already arrived on the scene. It should have been impossible for Zhao Feng to escape!


    "This is Vast Jade Ancient Forest, the territory of All-Rune Mountain!" A True God of a faction that was located nearby recognized this area.


    "There''s no harm in telling you that there was a teleportation array hidden beneath the palace. Once I refined the core, I could activate that array and leave whenever I wanted," Zhao Feng explained, a smile on his face.


    "Damn it¡­ hurry and release us!"


    "You madman, what do you plan to do with us!?"


    After learning the reason for his escape, quite a few people lost control and immediately began to attack Zhao Feng.


    The attacks of several dozen Quasi-Gods and True Gods were enough to flatten the territory of a four-star faction, but Zhao Feng remained indifferent and fearless.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    With a thought, the Intent energy of the five-colored palace once more gathered around his body, blocking all the attacks.


    "If you want to leave, you have to become my slave. Otherwise, you can just stay inside forever!"


    After relaying this message, Zhao Feng left.


    These people had all attacked Zhao Feng, so Zhao Feng would show them no mercy. Besides, as long as Zhao Feng didn''t hand over this five-colored palace, he would still be pursued by all the major factions even if he did let these people go. Thus, he might as well just keep them imprisoned.


    If he was pursued by one of their factions on his journey, he could take one or two of them and use them as hostages.


    In addition, the majority of this group were Quasi-God geniuses with bright prospects and limitless potential. If they were willing to become his slaves, Zhao Feng would be willing to take them under his wing.


    Whoosh!


    A violet-gold mist began to spread through the air, and a girl dressed in green wearing a white veil slowly walked out from it.


    "Where is this?" Han Ning''er took measure of her surroundings in surprise.


    Before Zhao Feng went to explore the seclusion grounds of the Five Elements God Lord, he had taken Han Ning''er into his Illusion City Little World. For this reason, she was clueless as to what had happened in the outside world.


    If Han Ning''er found out that she was no longer wanted by just Yellow Dragon Pavilion, but also many four-and-a-half-star, peak four-star, and even five-star factions of the Gulong Zone, she would probably somewhat regret following Zhao Feng.


    "This is the territory of All-Rune Mountain. You might not know about it. In any case, we''re even closer to the Ziling Zone now." Zhao Feng had no plans to specifically explain to Han Ning''er what happened at the Five Elements God Lord cultivation ground.


    The two immediately set off on their journey.


    We need to leave the Gulong Zone as quickly as possible. A hint of seriousness appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    Although he managed to escape safely, this did not mean that he was truly safe.


    At the moment, the fact that Zhao Feng had obtained an incredible treasure and imprisoned many experts and prodigies had not fully spread. Thus, Zhao Feng could still use the teleportation arrays of some factions. Even if this exposed his location, he would have to deal with it.


    However, once the events of Five Star Mountain were made known, more than half of the factions of the Gulong Zone would put Zhao Feng on their wanted list. When that time came, Zhao Feng would have to be extremely careful not to casually expose himself.


    Time slowly passed. Just as expected, it only took ten-some days for the events of Five Star Mountain to spread to the nearby four-and-a-half-star factions.


    One month later, all the factions of the Gulong Zone knew of what had occurred.


    Violet Night Hall, one of the Gulong Zone''s three five-star factions, was particularly infuriated, ordering all the factions under its control to put Zhao Feng on their wanted lists.


    It had to be known that Quasi-God Zi Feng was ranked fourth on the Quasi-God Ranking. This was Violet Night Hall''s strongest prodigy and its future hope. But now, Quasi-God Zi Feng had been imprisoned by some complete nobody.


    Of course, Violet Night Hall also wanted to arrest Zhao Feng because of the five-colored palace. With this treasure, Violet Night Hall would be completely capable of producing several more geniuses of Quasi-God Zi Feng''s level.


    ¡­


    Near a certain bay, Zhao Feng was preparing to use the teleportation array of a four-and-a-half-star faction when he realized that he was being intentionally delayed.


    It seems that the order for my arrest has been completely spread, Zhao Feng thought to himself.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng used his Metal Lightning Radiance Wings to immediately flee. After all, a four-and-a-half-star was presided over by an Ancient God. Once an Ancient God had their eyes on him, he would be finished.


    After fleeing several million li, Zhao Feng stopped.


    By now, Han Ning''er had essentially figured out what was going on. Even now, she found it somewhat difficult to believe that, while she was in the Illusion City Little World, Zhao Feng managed to create such an enormous incident.


    "Right now, we''re already at the edge of the Gulong Zone. It won''t take long before we can leave, but this is the most crucial period," Zhao Feng solemnly said.


    For now, he could no longer use teleportation arrays and would have to stick to deserted areas.


    ¡­


    The teleportation array of a certain four-and-a-half-star faction suddenly brightened.


    Swish!


    A middle-aged man with dark black skin covered in monstrous tattoos slowly appeared. After spreading his Divine Sense, he immediately was able to gather some information.


    "Zhao Feng?" The middle-aged man muttered this name.


    Zhao Feng made some reputation for himself in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. He had joined forces with the Golden Armed Race, Sky Haze Race, and a few other factions to assault the phoenix nest. Now that he had made such a mess, his name was naturally investigated.


    This middle-aged man was precisely the person sent to the Gulong Zone to bring back the Ancient God Seal, Ancient God Black Heaven. A while ago, he had accidentally sensed the Ancient God Seal, allowing him to confirm the direction he should search.


    "I didn''t think that something like this would happen in the Gulong Zone. Dozens of geniuses belonging to so many major factions, imprisoned by a single kid!" Ancient God Black Heaven couldn''t help but chuckle.


    Ancient God Black Heaven then recorded Zhao Feng''s appearance and traits in his mind. The treasure Zhao Feng had obtained was far too precious; if Ancient God Black Heaven ran into him, he didn''t mind capturing Zhao Feng and taking the treasure for himself.


    Of course, Ancient God Black Heaven had no idea that the object he sought was also with Zhao Feng!

 1233 Search Instrumen

    Chapter 1233 - Search Instrument


    Zhao Feng had used a teleportation array to teleport to some unknown area, but the factions were still able to narrow down the region, so they began to rigorously search a few factions near Stellar Tower.


    However, these factions had all received the news rather late, and Zhao Feng was skilled in Instant Movement, so he had long ago departed these areas. Thus, a search for half a year resulted in nothing.


    When Zhao Feng was discovered to be on the perimeter of the Gulong Zone, all the factions seeking Zhao Feng''s arrest immediately began to move. Zhao Feng had predicted this, but there was nothing he could do about it except try to leave the Gulong Zone as quickly as possible.


    True God experts lived for far too long, and Ancient Gods were practically immortal. They might search for Zhao Feng for several hundred years and fail, but the search would continue unabated. This might go on for one thousand years, ten thousand years, or even longer. After enough time passed, the number of people patrolling the border of the Gulong Zone would increase, making it impossible for Zhao Feng to leave even if he waited tens of thousands of years. In the meantime, it was very possible that he would be found.


    Besides, Zhao Feng could not stand to remain in hiding for tens of thousands of years. The time he had spent cultivating so far did not even exceed fifty years!


    For this reason, he chose to take advantage of this time period when most of the search teams had not arrived to hasten his pace and leave the Gulong Zone. As long as Zhao Feng could leave the Gulong Zone, the search for him would become much more difficult.


    These factions could summon the winds and call the rains in the Gulong Zone, but they wouldn''t be able to make any large waves in other zones.


    A man was traveling alone along an endless icy mountain range. The man had a cold and aloof face, faint golden hair blowing behind him in the wind like flowing light.


    "Human, to dare intrude upon my territory, you don''t know life from death!" A furious roar suddenly rose from a distant mountain of ice.


    "I''m just passing through. I mean nothing else," Zhao Feng coldly replied.


    On this journey, he had traveled through nothing but dangerous and forbidden zones. These regions not only had vile environments but were also occupied by large Yao beast herds. Zhao Feng would say these words every time, but every time, those Yao beasts that discovered Zhao Feng would attack him.


    This time was no exception.


    Brrrooom!


    The ice mountain quaked as several giant and chilling figures flashed out. Looking closely, Zhao Feng was facing three huge birds, their massive white wings blocking the sun, but their tails were those of dragons.


    "Rank Three Yao Gods¡­?" Zhao Feng appeared hardly affected by these birds.


    Zhao Feng had even encountered Rank Four Yao Gods on his journey. Zhao Feng could deal with a single Rank Four Yao God, but if it was a Rank Four Yao God and many subordinates, Zhao Feng would have to use his trump cards to escape.


    "Seeking death! According to human cultivation, you''re just an ordinary Quasi-God, and yet you dare to look down on us!?"


    The white-winged birds were instantly enraged and began to beat their wings, summoning up their Intent energy.


    Kabooom!


    The heavens and earth dimmed, the temperature plunged, and a thick hailstorm descended.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng gripped the Ancient God Seal, activated his Sacred Lightning Body, and charged.


    Boom!


    A casual slash from Zhao Feng unleashed an intimidating bolt of five-colored lightning. This vast five-colored radiance possessed a boundless strength that seemed capable of cleaving apart this world of ice and snow.


    "This brat is rather strong!"


    The three birds attacked together, filling the skies with icy feathers that swept toward Zhao Feng. These icy feathers were both sharp and infused with Ice energy. Normal Rank Three True Gods would either die or be heavily injured by such an attack.


    However, Zhao Feng threw himself into this attack, pushing his Sacred Lightning Body so that he was surrounded by a layer of five-colored lightning as he clashed against the three white-winged birds.


    At the right moment, Zhao Feng used his eye-bloodline technique on the three Yao Gods. In a flash, the three Yao Gods were put on the back foot. One of them was killed while the other two were severely injured and fled.


    Zhao Feng continued on his journey.


    Ever since the first teleportation, Zhao Feng had not taken a moment to rest, not even to stabilize his cultivation. For this reason, Zhao Feng would occasionally fight a real battle to hone himself.


    Of course, Zhao Feng wouldn''t intentionally prolong a battle. After all, he was being pursued.


    "For the rest of this journey, I no longer have a detailed map," Zhao Feng said with an indifferent expression.


    After some time, Zhao Feng finally took his leave of that cold and icy land.


    Zhao Feng was now spending every moment observing his distant surroundings. After traveling for some time, Zhao Feng finally discovered a group of four.


    The strongest of these four was a Rank Three True God while the remaining three youths were just Quasi-Gods.


    "Senior Fan, just who is this Zhao Feng? Just how did he manage to make such a mess? He even offended Violet Night Hall!" a youth with a green spiral tattoo on his forehead curiously asked.


    "We''re just delivering an object. We don''t need to worry about anything else," the bald elder leading them immediately replied.


    However, Zhao Feng was someone who had made the entire Gulong Zone quake while not belonging to any faction. Elder Fan was naturally extremely interested in him as well.


    At this moment, Elder Fan noticed strange activity from his Interspatial Dimension.


    "This is¡­?" Elder Fan sent his Divine Sense into the Interspatial Dimension.


    Inside were three square-shaped silver instruments. Each instrument had a silver crystal pearl embedded in it.


    At this moment, these pearls were blinking, the frequency between blinks growing shorter and shorter.


    "These are search instruments given to me by my superiors. If a search instrument begins to blink, it means that the target is within a certain range!" Elder Fan''s face froze in shock.


    He naturally knew that these three search instruments had been made specifically to search for Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Elder Fan took in a deep breath as he focused on the distant horizon. He saw what appeared to be a very gentle and scholarly young man slowly approaching them. He appeared to be at only the peak Mystic Light Realm stage.


    "Senior, I wish to exchange map information with you," this youth said with a warm and amiable smile.


    This person was the only clone that Zhao Feng had never shown ¨C Zhao Hui!


    In the Gulong Zone, even children knew Zhao Feng''s face by now, so for occasions like these, Zhao Feng would always have Zhao Hui appear.


    Unfortunately, Zhao Hui was not very strong. Otherwise, he could just hide with Zhao Hui and have him use the teleportation arrays belonging to some smaller factions.


    "Hmph! What do you have to exchange for our map?" A youth saw Zhao Hui''s feeble appearance and immediately sneered. What could a mere peak Mystic Light Realm stage cultivator have that could be exchanged for Elder Fan''s map?


    "Shut your mouth!" Elder Fan suddenly roared, leaving the youth stupefied.


    "Young brother, this should be your first time here. If you need map information on the nearby area, you can exchange it for the map you currently have." Elder Fan suspiciously began to examine Zhao Hui.


    However, right at this moment, there was a spatial ripple, and several powerful figures descended onto the field.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng, Zhao Wang, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately surrounded Elder Fan and his three young charges.


    "Hand over the map and tell me how you knew it was me!" Zhao Feng coldly barked.


    In this journey, there were several times where momentary carelessness on Zhao Feng''s part almost led to a grave error. For this reason, Zhao Feng was now exceptionally prudent, not permitting himself to leave a single clue behind.


    Just now, this elder reprimanded a person of his own race, showing that he was clearly somewhat nervous about Zhao Hui. Afterward, the elder began to examine Zhao Hui with a profound gaze as if clearly thinking about something.


    "Elder Fan, what''s going on?" The three Quasi-Gods immediately panicked.


    These three additional people that had appeared before them didn''t appear to have strong cultivations, but their auras were incredibly intimidating.


    "Good sir, please forgive us. We can guarantee that we haven''t revealed your location!" Elder Fan immediately pleaded. He had heard many rumors about Zhao Feng, so he knew that he alone was no match for Zhao Feng.


    "Hand it over!" Zhao Feng coldly and impatiently ordered.


    "Yes, yes¡­!" Elder Fan immediately gave Zhao Feng the map information as well as the three search instruments.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    As the three search instruments floated up to Zhao Feng, they began to blink so quickly that they seemed to be perpetually on.


    When Zhao Feng took the search instruments and sent his Divine Sense into them, he knew the reason. These three search instruments imitated Zhao Feng''s soul energy. As long as his soul energy appeared nearby, they would sound the alarm.


    At the True God level, one could easily change their face, but soul energy was impossible to alter.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng blasted the three search instruments to smithereens.


    After taking the map information, Zhao Feng left.


    "Senior Fan, was that Zhao Feng?" a young girl asked with eyes wide, only daring to ask this question after Zhao Feng had left.


    "He let us go!" another youth said, his heart still thumping in fear.


    "The search instruments can''t be delivered and his whereabouts will be exposed either way, so he decided that it was useless to kill us¡­." Elder Fan explained.


    ¡­


    After obtaining the map information, Zhao Feng immediately left.


    "Master, this kind of search instrument was built by the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s civilization, and the process for using it is rather complicated. It hasn''t been spread around yet, but once it is fully distributed, as long as you''re still in the Gulong Zone, you''ll be found no matter where you hide!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon messaged. It hoped that Zhao Feng could leave the Gulong Zone as quickly as possible.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon naturally knew about this kind of unique search instrument. Even if one was hiding in another dimension, the search instrument would only need to get within a certain distance to discover someone.


    Even if one was in another dimension, one still existed in the greater spatial framework of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. This included the Spacetime Robe Dimension and the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "I know," Zhao Feng said, his expression sinking.


    That group of four was from a nearby racial faction. Those peak four-star factions chasing after him as well as Violet Night Hall probably had a large number of such search instruments.


    Once these search instruments were fully distributed, they would be able to sense him even if Zhao Feng hid in the Spacetime Robe or the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "Fortunately, I only have a little way left to go!" Zhao Feng calmed himself down.


    After obtaining the new map information, Zhao Feng confirmed his route.


    Swish!


    He put on the Spacetime Robe and began to use Instant Movement to travel through dangerous areas devoid of people.

 1234 Leaving the Gulong Zone

    Chapter 1234 - Leaving the Gulong Zone


    Upon learning about the search instruments, Zhao Feng was even less willing to waste time. He took out the Spacetime Robe to boost his Space Intent and increase the distance his Instant Movement could travel.


    After using Instant Movement ten or so times, Zhao Feng stopped.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng released Han Ning''er from the Illusion City Little World. Han Ning''er very astutely activated her Eye of Life to assist Zhao Feng in recovering his energy.


    During this brief break, Zhao Feng cultivated to increase his strength.


    Zhao Feng had many aspects that he could cultivate, but he was currently focusing his efforts on Space Intent.


    Long ago, Zhao Feng reached peak Level Two in Space Intent. Once he broke into Level Three, Zhao Feng''s Instant Movement would be able to travel even farther. In addition, by wearing the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng could more easily comprehend Space Intent.


    When he finished recovering and returned to his peak condition, Zhao Feng set off once more, a process that would continue to repeat itself.


    Three months like this passed very quickly, and Zhao Feng smoothly reached Level Three in Space Intent. With the buff from the Spacetime Robe, his Space Intent was at Level Four.


    Zhao Feng was getting closer and closer to the next zone.


    One day, Zhao Feng noticed something and immediately used his Eye of Heaven. The Eye of Heaven could travel over extremely long distances and also had an extremely long range of vision, several times Zhao Feng''s own.


    "As expected, I''ve been discovered," Zhao Feng murmured in shock.


    The leader of the group clearly had a search instrument in his hand.


    "They''ve already predicted that I want to leave the Gulong Zone, so they''ve increased the number of men in this area."


    Those pursuing Zhao Feng were naturally not fools. There was no way they didn''t know what Zhao Feng wanted to do.


    But even though Zhao Feng was well aware of the dangers, he had to charge in. Only by charging in would he have a chance of survival.


    Zhao Feng rapidly fled using Instant Movement. Occasionally, he would use the Eye of Heaven to observe his surroundings.


    "But the search instruments haven''t been fully distributed yet, and ordinary True Gods can''t keep up with me."


    Zhao Feng didn''t panic as he continued to escape.


    His Space Intent was at Level Three, and with the Spacetime Robe, it was at Level Four. Using Instant Movement with Level Four Space Intent could cover a vast distance that would leave most Rank Five True Gods eating dust.


    However, now that Zhao Feng was discovered, an Ancient God would soon be on his tail.


    ¡­


    The teleportation array of a peak four-star faction on the edge of the Gulong Zone suddenly brightened.


    Swish!


    Three figures emerged within it.


    "That brat wants to leave the Gulong Zone." A middle-aged man whose body sparkled with a violet luster chortled.


    "Don''t laugh. Once that boy leaves the Gulong Zone, it will be even more difficult to capture him!" a purple-skinned woman gravely said.


    "Hmph, we must capture him before he leaves the Gulong Zone!" the elder in the middle leading this group grimly said, his eyes cold and sinister.


    "Yes, Ancient God Night Dragon!" The other two saw that Ancient God Night Dragon was serious and immediately nodded their heads.


    Ancient God Night Dragon was the Rank Seven Ancient God of Violet Night Hall. He had been dispatched to the edge of the Gulong Zone to capture Zhao Feng.


    Of course, Violet Night Hall was a five-star faction with deep reserves. It had not sent out just one group, and three of these groups had an Ancient God.


    Three Ancient Gods were nothing to Violet Night Hall, but their target was just a Quasi-God junior. As such, this array of forces was already enormous.


    "We''ve brought so many search instruments with us that, even if that brat hides deep underground, we''d still be able to drag him out!" The middle-aged man chuckled.


    Other than God Realm Sacred Lands, five-star factions were the hegemons of their zones. Almost all of them had existed for at least a hundred million years. Their abilities and resources could never be underestimated. For example, an ordinary faction would find it hard to produce even one of these search instruments.


    Meanwhile, Ancient God Black Heaven was continuing to travel along teleportation arrays. Recently, the tool in his hand had begun reacting to the Ancient God Seal more frequently.


    "Haha, little scoundrel, it seems like you have no idea that the day of your death is approaching!" Ancient God Black Heaven couldn''t help but savagely laugh.


    On his journey, Ancient God Black Heaven heard some more information regarding Zhao Feng.


    "To think that this person was near my target. Perhaps I might also be able to take care of him as well!" Ancient God Black Heaven''s lips curled into a faint smile.


    ¡­


    All the while, the fleeing Zhao Feng had no idea that Violet Night Hall had mobilized such an enormous force against him, nor that another Ancient God expert had been chasing him for several years.


    "The strongest person of the nearby four-star faction is only a Rank Four True God."


    Zhao Feng was carefully inspecting the map in his mind. The nearby four-star faction was not that different from those of Sky Feather Island.


    Thwish!


    This time, Zhao Feng slightly altered his trajectory and headed toward that four-star faction. After all, his trail was exposed, so it was no longer necessary to keep hiding.


    This ancient iron tower was manned by several dozen experts, with one of them being a Rank Three True God. Suddenly an intense spatial ripple appeared in the distance.


    Swish!


    A figure flew out of it.


    "That''s¡­ Instant Movement!?" A guard was scared out his wits by Zhao Feng''s technique, the awe and reverence he instinctively felt making him disregard Zhao Feng''s appearance.


    "Zhao Feng! It''s Zhao Feng!"


    "Isn''t that the guy wanted by various factions of the Gulong Zone!?"


    The experts around the teleportation array were instantly abuzz with chatter, and the Rank Three True God flew straight into the air.


    They had been rigorously inspecting everyone who used the teleportation array. No one expected for Zhao Feng to so brazenly reveal himself right in front of themselves.


    Elsewhere, in an explosion of energy, a Rank Four True God flew out from a black iron palace.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The Rank Three True God and the Rank Four True God appeared before Zhao Feng and warily stared at him. Zhao Feng was just a Quasi-God, but his descent had placed an unparalleled pressure on this four-star faction.


    Even the Rank Four True God did not dare to be careless in front of Zhao Feng. The wanted notices distributed throughout the Gulong Zone naturally explained Zhao Feng''s strength as well as his helpers''.


    "I want to use the teleportation array." Zhao Feng apathetically gazed down below.


    He was answered with silence. Zhao Feng''s words seemed almost absurd to them.


    "Delay him," the Rank Four True God messaged the other True Gods of his faction.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng moved.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Spatial blurs appeared around him, and in the next moment, Zhao Feng had gotten past everyone and appeared on the teleportation array within the iron tower.


    Hisss!


    Everyone was frozen to their spots, fear emerging in their hearts. A single Quasi-God had casually passed through them all to reach the teleportation array.


    They weren''t even able to see how Zhao Feng had done it, much less able to stop him.


    "Activate the array or else I kill everyone here!" Zhao Feng''s icy voice ordered.


    This time, the people of this entire four-star faction felt absolutely helpless, their bodies chilling. A Quasi-God had boldly threatened to massacre them all, but no one doubted his ability to do so.


    "If we send you off, we''ll be killed anyway!" the Rank Four True God helplessly said.


    If they sent away Zhao Feng, not only would Violet Night Hall not let them go, even the four-and-a-half-star faction ruling them wouldn''t.


    "Then die!" Zhao Feng immediately activated his Sacred Lightning Body and fired off an enormous palm of five-colored lightning.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    This enormous mountain of lightning struck and killed no small number of people.


    "Strike!" the Rank Four True God howled. The True Gods present immediately charged at Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    With a wave of his silver robe, Zhao Feng summoned all his other helpers.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon merely activated its thin Destruction Dragon bloodline to completely suppress the bloodline of all the experts present.


    "This really is the bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race!"


    "But how!? That''s the bloodline of one of the top ten ancient races!"


    Those True God experts who had been preparing to stop Zhao Feng were so frightened that their knees went soft. After all, these were mostly just Rank One and Rank Two True Gods. How could people of their cultivation resist someone at Rank Three with the bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race? The only one able to endure it was the Rank Four True God.


    "The information really was correct. Zhao Feng has many powerful helpers. He could even fight a Rank Five True God!" The Rank Four True God sighed in shock.


    At this time, Zhao Feng activated his golden eye and used an illusion eye-bloodline technique on a random person.


    Thump! Thump!


    This Demigod had no resistance to Zhao Feng''s illusion technique and walked toward Zhao Feng in a daze. The array was activated, and Zhao Feng''s group departed.


    After leaving that area, Zhao Feng found another four-star faction and commandeered their teleportation array for his own use.


    Zhao Feng would use Instant Movement several times before finding a four-star faction so that he could use its teleportation array. Several days later, Zhao Feng arrived at the border of the Gulong Zone.


    "Hurry and activate the teleportation array!" Zhao Feng stood on the array and used an illusion eye-bloodline technique to control someone.


    The surrounding people could only stand and watch, not daring to attack Zhao Feng or his allies.


    "Once I use this teleportation array, I''ll have completely left the Gulong Zone¡­." Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    Right at this moment, violet clouds surged out from the distant horizon, casting a dark violet light over the skies. The world seemed to have been plunged into a violet-colored night.


    "An Ancient God has arrived!" Zhao Feng''s eyes widened in shock.


    He had voluntarily exposed his location to use the teleportation arrays of four-star factions and speed up his journey, but he had also hastened the arrival of an Ancient God expert.


    Buzz! Swish!


    The array beneath Zhao Feng completed its outline, and a silvery spatial light enveloped Zhao Feng''s group.


    "Hurry and stop him!"


    The newcomers were an Ancient God and his team from Violet Night Hall. They had also not expected for Zhao Feng to expose his identity and commandeer teleportation arrays.


    At this moment, a teleportation array near Zhao Feng brightened. Through the use of his profound Space Intent, Zhao Feng could sense that another Ancient God was about to arrive.


    "Hurry and stop him! Break the teleportation array!"


    The members of this four-star faction saw that an Ancient God of Violet Night Hall had arrived and instantly threw themselves at the array, no longer caring for their lives.


    However, their attacks were simply incapable of breaking through the defenses of Zhao Feng''s group.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s group vanished from the teleportation array.


    The moment they appeared on the other end of the array, Zhao Feng immediately used both fists to pulverize the nearby teleportation arrays.

 1235 Descent of an Ancient God

    Chapter 1235 - Descent of an Ancient God


    Only once all the nearby teleportation arrays were destroyed did Zhao Feng finally breathe a sigh of relief.


    He had completely left the Gulong Zone and was now in the Tianyun Zone.


    But this did not mean that Zhao Feng was safe, only that he had escaped the greatest danger.


    "You''re¡­ Zhao Feng!" three guards near the teleportation array called out in alarm.


    Although this area did not belong to the Gulong Zone, it shared a border. Zhao Feng had made such a large ruckus in the Gulong Zone that these people naturally knew a little about what had happened.


    Of course, the people of the Tianyun Zone had never imagined that Zhao Feng would actually manage to escape the clutches of so many of the Gulong Zone''s factions. It was rumored that Zhao Feng had obtained some wondrous treasure in the Gulong Zone and also imprisoned the Quasi-Gods and True Gods of several dozen factions, sending an unprecedented earthquake through the Gulong Zone.


    The three guards couldn''t help but speculate about what sort of treasure Zhao Feng had obtained. However, they only thought about it. They were just Demigods ¨C people Zhao Feng could kill with a snap of his fingers.


    At this moment, several dozen bright white lights shot out from a vast complex of palaces in the distance. These people were all the higher-ranked experts of this faction. They had sensed the disturbance near the teleportation arrays and came to see what was going on.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng took the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the others into the Spacetime Robe Dimension and immediately used Instant Movement.


    He hadn''t teleported very far, so even if he destroyed the teleportation arrays of this faction, the Ancient God from the Gulong Zone wouldn''t need long to catch up.


    "Instant Movement¡­? Zhao Feng!" The old patriarch of this faction''s eyes widened in shock.


    He was a Rank Four True God, but he could not use Instant Movement, so if Zhao Feng wanted to leave, no one present could stop him.


    And besides, none of them dared to stop him even if they could.


    "Report this matter to our superiors!" the old patriarch ordered a middle-aged man next to him.


    The Tianyun Zone had no grudge with Zhao Feng, but the magnificent treasures on his person made it so that everyone was interested in him. Such an important matter naturally needed to be reported to their ruling faction.


    ¡­


    After fleeing several million li, Zhao Feng stopped to take a breather.


    "Even if my pursuers from the Gulong Zone chase me all the way to the Tianyun Zone, it won''t be so easy to find me anymore." Zhao Feng''s face slightly relaxed as he slowed his speed.


    The factions that Zhao Feng had offended were all in the Gulong Zone. Violet Night Hall was among them, and one third of the factions in the Gulong Zone needed to heed its orders. However, this was different in the Tianyun Zone; Violet Night Hall had no influence on the factions of this area.


    "But the Tianyun Zone is adjacent to the Gulong Zone¡­. The news that I have valuable treasures on me is probably already known by the major factions of this place." Zhao Feng''s expression suddenly froze.


    There was no one who wasn''t interested in treasure. Even someone who had no grudge with Zhao Feng would immediately attack him upon learning about all the treasure he had.


    Thus, even though Zhao Feng was now in the Tianyun Zone, he still needed to be very low-key. It was for this reason that Zhao Feng continued to use the teleportation arrays of ordinary four-star factions to move around.


    Only after fleeing a certain distance did Zhao Feng dare to enter a nearby Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    One day, in an Exchange Spiritual Hall on the western end of the Tianyun Zone, Zhao Feng randomly selected a cultivation chamber in the Cultivation Pagoda. After entering the chamber, he immediately entered the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    "Master, can I have a few Intent Crystals to advance my Fire Intent?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon pleaded.


    "No problem," Zhao Feng answered.


    As the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon recovered more of its cultivation, it began to require more and more resources. It was better to just give it a few Intent Crystals so that it could improve its strength and recover its cultivation on its own.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng saw a sight that left him dumbstruck.


    He saw an egg!


    Zhao Feng didn''t remember there being an egg among his cultivation materials. However, Zhao Feng quickly realized that the color and inscriptions on this egg were extremely similar to those of the egg he had obtained from the Floating Crest Trial. The only difference was that this egg was a little larger.


    "This is¡­ the little thieving cat?" Zhao Feng''s calm face contorted in shock.


    Earlier, he realized that there was something off about the little thieving cat''s condition. He hadn''t expected that, the next time he came in, the little thieving cat would have turned into an egg.


    "Correct!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon nodded as it gave the egg a strange glance. It had been given quite a terrible fright when the little thieving cat first turned into an egg, and it ended up observing it for a very long time.


    "Does breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm require becoming an egg?" Zhao Feng felt at a loss for words.


    When the little thieving cat mentioned that it wanted to break into the Heavenly Divine Realm, Zhao Feng hadn''t thought much about it. However, Zhao Feng never imagined that the little thieving cat would have to turn into an egg to do so.


    Zhao Feng had never heard about any of the ancient races needing to turn into an egg to reach the Heavenly Divine Realm, so he was rather shocked and curious.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng used his left eye to peer at the egg.


    "What a powerful barrier!" Zhao Feng was immediately stunned. The barrier around the egg was like the one around the five-colored crystalline palace.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng felt a ripple deep within his soul. This was from the spirit pet contract that Zhao Feng had with the little thieving cat; Zhao Feng could sense the little thieving cat''s resistance. Thus, Zhao Feng did not continue his attempts to see through this egg that the little thieving cat had transformed into.


    Swish!


    A five-colored crystal sphere appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, within which was a five-colored crystalline palace.


    With a thought, Zhao Feng entered the palace. A moment later, he was deluged with attacks.


    Zhao Feng had long ago noticed this coming, so when he entered the palace, he had ordered the palace''s energies to protect him.


    "Release me!"


    "Let us go!"


    Furious roars echoed through the palace. After being imprisoned for so long, they naturally found it hard to maintain a good mood.


    "You''re looking down on Violet Night Hall too much! It won''t be long before the experts of Violet Night Hall capture you, and then you''ll wish that you were dead!" Quasi-God Zi Feng stared at Zhao Feng with cold and sinister eyes. He had always been confident that Zhao Feng would be captured by Violet Night Hall, and this five-colored palace would fall into Violet Night Hall''s hands.


    "I forgot to tell all of you; I am now in the Tianyun Zone." Zhao Feng faintly smiled as he walked to the side.


    "What? The Tianyun Zone?"


    "You managed to get out of the Gulong Zone!?"


    The experts imprisoned within the palace felt their minds collapse. Even the experts of Violet Night Hall began to fill with despair.


    Zhao Feng casually strolled through the palace, lightly plucking out a few Intent Crystals, and then took his leave.


    After giving the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon sufficient Intent Crystals, he went to Zhao Wan and gave him a bunch of Intent Crystals suffused with Five Elements Intent. As the owner of the Eye of Myriad Forms, Zhao Wan would be greatly aided by these Intent Crystals, their effects on him even surpassing their effects on Zhao Feng.


    Thump!


    Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged on the ground and began to use Intent Crystals to cultivate. Gripping an Intent Crystal in his hand, Zhao Feng could sense Five Elements Intent flowing into this mind, allowing him to comprehend and experience it.


    "What an incredible effect!" Zhao Feng was pleasantly surprised.


    It took only a few moments before he felt his Five Elements Intent advancing.


    Intent Crystals were the best items with which to cultivate Intent. The lowest level of Intent Crystal needed an Ancient God to condense, so ordinary four-star factions didn''t possess even one. Four-and-a-half-star factions would have an extremely small number of Intent Crystals, which they gave to the best prodigies of their faction to use.


    While cultivating his Five Elements Intent, Zhao Feng divided his mind to cultivate other aspects as well.


    Ever since the Gulong Martial Gathering, Zhao Feng had been embroiled in numerous dangers. This constant mortal pressure squeezed out his potential, so his cultivation now progressed very smoothly, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds.


    After one month, Zhao Feng left the cultivation chamber and continued on his journey. Han Ning''er had indicated that, since they were not yet out of danger, she was not willing to slow down Zhao Feng, so she spent all her time in Zhao Feng''s Illusion City Little World.


    Five years later, in the central region of the Tianyun Zone, a man and woman arrived outside an Exchange Spiritual Hall controlled by the Ghost River Race, immediately attracting the attention of the nearby crowd.


    This pair was naturally Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er. Now that these two were in the central region of the Tianyun Zone, they no longer needed to remain hidden. Zhao Feng also did not need to spend day and night on the road; he could occasionally visit an Exchange Spiritual Hall to relax.


    "What a beautiful woman!" A few experts who had been preparing to enter the Exchange Spiritual Hall exclaimed in wonder at Han Ning''er''s beautiful appearance and demeanor.


    There were also a few women peering at Zhao Feng with shining eyes.


    In comparison to when he just left the Gulong Zone, Zhao Feng''s strength had taken an extremely large leap. The most obvious was that Zhao Feng''s Five Elements Intent had reached Level Three, and his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had reached the peak of the 11th level. Relying purely on this Level Three Five Elements Intent and his peak-stage Five Elements Divine Power, Zhao Feng could fight back against a Rank Five True God.


    My strength should be enough for me to fight on equal terms with the Gulong Zone''s strongest prodigy, Quasi-God Heaven Swallower! A hint of pride appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    All of this was due to the Intent Crystals of that palace. Thus, one could say that it had been worth Zhao Feng putting himself in mortal danger to snatch that palace.


    After paying the fee of God Crystals, Zhao Feng entered the Exchange Spiritual Hall. He needed to find a new map, and he also wanted to try out the delicacies of this Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    But at this moment, the Ancient God Seal within Zhao Feng''s Interspatial Dimension began to tremble, the blue inscriptions upon it flashing with a sparkling luster.


    "What''s going on?" Zhao Feng entered his Interspatial Dimension.


    "This is¡­? Not good!" Zhao Feng suddenly realized something and grimaced.


    When he first entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Zhao Feng rarely used the Ancient God Seal in order to not attract any attention to himself from the faction behind True God Tian Fa, but later on, he had gradually forgotten about this matter. After all, in his view, the faction that True God Tian Fa belonged was probably very far away and would never be able to find him.


    But the strangeness of the Ancient God Seal was like an alarm bell ringing in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng took Han Ning''er into his Illusion City Little World and prepared to leave.


    At this moment, the distant horizon turned dark.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Pitch-black clouds resounding with the angry howls of ghosts and monsters surged out, this intimidating pressure causing everyone in the Exchange Spiritual Hall to tremble in shock. A black-skinned middle-aged man floated in the center of this black storm of clouds, monstrous violet tattoos on his face imbued with an extremely evil and dangerous aura.


    This man was none other than Ancient God Black Heaven!


    "An Ancient God is coming to this Exchange Spiritual Hall!"


    "I wonder which Ancient God it is?"


    The sounds of conversation came from within the hall as everyone looked reverentially at that approaching figure. This Exchange Spiritual Hall was run by the Ghost River Race, which was only a four-and-a-half-star faction, so Ancient Gods were a very rare sight.


    Suddenly, the array surrounding the Exchange Spiritual Hall exploded into bits.


    "What''s going on!? That Ancient God expert destroyed the array!"


    "What''s he doing!?"


    Everyone in the Exchange Spiritual Hall instantly panicked. They all believed that this Ancient God was just passing through, but now, it appeared that something was wrong.


    "Haha, it''s you!"


    Ancient God Black Heaven held a small piece of metal in his hand, and his eyes were focused on a golden-haired boy within the Exchange Spiritual Hall.

 1236 Mighty Ancient God

    Chapter 1236 - Mighty Ancient God


    The entire world had transformed into a pitch-black underworld where countless ghosts and souls howled and wailed.


    The countless experts within the Exchange Spiritual Hall were scared witless by Ancient God Black Heaven''s majestic pressure. They felt like this Ancient God was the ruler of this world and their lives were for him to trample upon.


    Whoosh!


    At this moment, the guardian from the Ghost River Race came out of the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "Senior, why are you targeting the Exchange Spiritual Hall of the Ghost River Race?" the Rank Six True God presiding over this Exchange Spiritual Hall asked with a gloomy gaze.


    The first six ranks of True Gods did not have very large gaps between them. Plenty of expert True Gods could fight a match against True Gods one level higher than themselves. However, the gap between Rank Six True Gods and Rank Seven Ancient Gods was enormous, as vast as the gap between the heavens and the earth.


    This Rank Six True God felt extremely oppressed and frightened as he gazed at this Ancient God floating in the black void. He could tell that this person was from the 82nd ranked race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, the Black Yao Race!


    Within the Exchange Spiritual Hall, Zhao Feng''s escape was also stymied.


    He never imagined that True God Tian Fa''s faction ¨C the Ancient Soul Hall ¨C would send an Ancient God expert. Zhao Feng had confronted an Ancient God of Stellar Tower, but his intuition told him that this Ancient God was even more powerful.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Zhao Feng gathered wings of lightning behind him.


    "Hmph!" Ancient God Black Heaven snorted, and the world thundered in response.


    Boom! Bang!


    The wings of lightning that Zhao Feng had condensed were instantly dispelled. At the same time, Zhao Feng was assaulted by an invisible Intent energy that damaged both his body and soul. The buildings around Zhao Feng were crushed into dust by this formidable Intent energy.


    "So strong!" Zhao Feng murmured in shock.


    At this moment, he sensed that the Lightning energy in his surroundings had utterly vanished, making it impossible for him to use lightning escape techniques.


    This was an Ancient God. They possessed incredible control over Intent energy and Divine Power, and they were capable of expelling other kinds of energy from a region.


    Of course, Zhao Feng was not the only person affected by Ancient God Black Heaven. A few weaker people near Zhao Feng were almost jolted to death by this power.


    "Senior, please stop!" The Rank Six True God was somewhat depressed. He didn''t understand why this Ancient God of the Black Yao Race wanted to make trouble for his Ghost River Race.


    "Scram!" Ancient God Black Heaven barked.


    Boom!


    A black tornado swept up the Rank Six True God and took him away. In an instant, the Rank Six True God was forced back several thousand li, his body covered in wounds and his face stricken with fear.


    Ancient God Black Heaven''s gaze fell upon Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng felt like the entire sky was pressing down on him, and there was so much pressure on his body that he felt it was impossible to move.


    "Tell me, how did True God Tian Fa die?" Ancient God Black Heaven coldly asked.


    True God Tian Fa was Ancient God Black Heaven''s junior. He was truly befuddled as to how someone of True God Tian Fa''s strength combined with his divine weapon had managed to fail his mission and even die. Ancient God Black Heaven wanted to know the reason.


    As Zhao Feng looked at this Ancient God, his soul felt a chilling sensation. This Ancient God was of the Black Yao Race and clearly cared a great deal about True God Tian Fa, so Zhao Feng did not dare to tell him that he had been the one to kill True God Tian Fa.


    Thus, Zhao Feng was thinking about how to escape. However, Zhao Feng discovered that he had almost no way to resist such a powerful Ancient God!


    I can only do this! Zhao Feng''s eyes dimmed as he sent his mind into his left eye.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body vanished from the spot.


    "Mm?" Ancient God Black Heaven was startled, and then his lips curled into a wicked smile.


    "I didn''t think that you would be hiding such a high-level dimension. But even if this dimension is in extreme harmony with the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, almost perfectly hiding within it, do you think I have no means of getting you?" Ancient God Black Heaven gave a strange laugh, and he appeared to be abnormally happy. He had only been chasing Zhao Feng to get back the Ancient God Seal, but now he would also obtain such a high-level dimension. How could he not be happy?


    "I''ll let you experience the power of an Ancient God!" Ancient God Black Heaven raised his head to the heavens and laughed as his body began to seethe with Yao Qi.


    "Let''s go!" The countless experts within the Exchange Spiritual Hall immediately began to flee.


    The attacks of an Ancient God were certain to break the heavens and sunder the earth. They did not dare to stick around.


    Ancient God Black Heaven revealed two black claws, which tore at the area that Zhao Feng had vanished from. All the energy in the world seemed to gather around this spot.


    Kabooom!


    This mighty attack, suffused with high-level Space Intent, rammed against the air and caused space to intensely shudder.


    In the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng felt a sharp pain in his left eye.


    "Ah¡­! This person is so strong!"


    Zhao Feng covered his left eye.


    Those inexperienced True Gods in Sky Feather Island who weren''t even capable of using Instant Movement naturally couldn''t do anything when Zhao Feng hid in the Ancient Dream Realm. However, the Ancient Soul Hall''s Ancient God Black Heaven was an outstanding member among Ancient Gods. He possessed a high-level Space Intent that could perceive Zhao Feng and unleash a destructive blow capable of shaking space and striking Zhao Feng''s hidden dimension.


    On top of that, the Ancient Dream Realm was the Origin Dimension of Zhao Feng''s God Eye, so these attacks were also constantly damaging Zhao Feng''s God Eye.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng put on the Spacetime Robe and left the Ancient Dream Realm. Zhao Feng appeared in an area rife with intense spatial disturbance, so he could not use Instant Movement.


    Just when Zhao Feng was preparing to flee again, he sensed something strange in the distance!


    "Eh? The Spacetime Robe!" A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Ancient God Black Heaven''s face.


    This journey seems to have been well worth it!


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Ancient God Black Heaven raised his left hand and prepared to eliminate Zhao Feng and take everything he had.


    "I know how True God Tian Fa died!" Zhao Feng suddenly spoke.


    "Talk!" Ancient God Black Heaven''s face froze.


    "I killed him!" Zhao Feng chortled.


    "You''re seeking death!" Ancient God Black Heaven''s face immediately twisted into that of a wrathful devil. He felt like Zhao Feng was playing with him.


    Just when Ancient God Black Heaven was about to eliminate Zhao Feng¡­


    "You won''t dare to kill me!" Zhao Feng once more laughed. "When my race''s Ancient God senior arrives, you''re finished!"


    Zhao Feng stared into the distance.


    At this moment, the pressure of an Ancient God slowly descended. A man shining with a violet luster appeared, carrying a search instrument in his hand. The crystal on the search instrument was currently blinking at an extremely fast rate.


    This was none other than Ancient God Night Dragon.


    When Zhao Feng escaped the Gulong Zone, Violet Night Hall ¨C one of the three five-star factions of the Gulong Zone ¨C lost all its dignity. Thus, after some discussion, Violet Night Hall decided to send a few teams to the Tianyun Zone to secretly search for Zhao Feng.


    Ancient God Night Dragon''s team was one of these teams. They had predicted that Zhao Feng would believe that he had thrown off his pursuers and let down his guard. For this reason, the search teams of Violet Night Hall primarily searched Exchange Spiritual Halls.


    Coincidentally, when Ancient God Night Dragon was about to reach this Exchange Spiritual Hall, his search instrument began to go off.


    "Two Ancient Gods, both seemingly not of the Tianyun Zone¡­. What''s going on?" The guardian of this Exchange Spiritual Hall backed up in shock and confusion.


    The nearby experts also retreated to an even farther distance.


    "Ancient God¡­ Black Yao Race!" Ancient God Night Dragon''s eyes focused on Ancient God Black Heaven.


    "It''s over. I didn''t think that an Ancient God of the Tianyun Zone would catch Zhao Feng first!" Ancient God Night Dragon messaged the two True Gods of his team.


    "The treasures on Zhao Feng can''t fall into the hands of another Ancient God!" one Rank Five True God messaged back.


    They believed that Ancient God Black Heaven was after the five-colored palace in Zhao Feng''s possession. However, this treasure was far too precious; Violet Night Hall could not allow any other faction to obtain it. In addition, for the dignity of Violet Night Hall, they could not go back empty-handed.


    "I''ll stop him while the two of you kill Zhao Feng and then retreat!" Ancient God Night Dragon messaged the two True Gods of his team.


    "The Violet Night Race? You shouldn''t have anything to do with this brat, right?" Ancient God Black Heaven''s expression sank. In his eyes, Zhao Feng did not have the bloodline of the Violet Night Race, so he shouldn''t be one of its members.


    But at this moment, Ancient God Night Dragon attacked him.


    "Seeking death!" Ancient God Black Heaven was instantly enraged.


    While traveling through other zones, Ancient God Black Heaven had always kept his temper in check, but now, this Ancient God of the Violet Night Race dared to attack him?


    In the distance, Zhao Feng gleefully chuckled. For some reason unknown to him, this Ancient God of Violet Night Hall decided to attack Ancient God Black Heaven.


    Thwish!


    Space was too unstable to use Instant Movement, so Zhao Feng just used his wings to flee.


    At this moment, the two True Gods from Violet Night Hall attacked.


    "Brat, die for me!" Ancient God Black Heaven was determined to kill, so he ignored Ancient God Night Dragon and clawed at Zhao Feng.


    Kabooom!


    An enormous violet-black claw made of wind tore through the sky as it hurtled at Zhao Feng.


    "This Ancient God is so strong!" The two True Gods of Violet Night Hall immediately drew back in fear.


    "Once this brat is dead, we''ll just search his body," the middle-aged man True God laughed and said.


    "Mm." The woman with purple skin nodded her head.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Black Heaven''s attack enveloped Zhao Feng.


    "Something''s wrong!" The middle-aged man''s brows slightly creased.


    As the violet-black fog dispersed, a five-colored crystalline palace appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. Zhao Feng himself transformed into a faint golden light that vanished into the distance.


    "After him!" The purple-skinned woman grimaced and immediately began to pursue.


    But after fleeing a certain distance, Zhao Feng used Instant Movement to vanish without a trace.


    On the other end, Ancient God Black Heaven and Ancient God Night Dragon had already begun to battle.


    At this moment, the entire world within a radius of ten thousand li was filled with black and violet light.


    "So strong!" Ancient God Night Dragon grimaced in shock. They were both Ancient Gods, but the opponent was apparently much stronger than he was.


    "That brat isn''t dead?" A scan of Ancient God Black Heaven''s Divine Sense told him that something was wrong.


    With that attack of his, he was sure that he would slay Zhao Feng. However, the result was that Zhao Feng used some kind of technique to block it and then flee.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, after using the five-colored palace to block Ancient God Black Heaven''s attack, Zhao Feng began to repeatedly use Instant Movement while wearing the Spacetime Robe.


    Behind him, the two True Gods of Violet Night Hall were weaker in Space Intent compared to Zhao Feng and didn''t have a treasure like the Spacetime Robe either, so they gradually lost his trail.


    Swish!


    Space rippled like the surface of water as Zhao Feng jumped out.


    "It seems I was too careless. I didn''t think that Violet Night Hall would refuse to give up, but I have to thank them for helping me take care of Ancient Soul Hall¡­"


    With a gloomy face, Zhao Feng continued to flee.


    As he was fleeing, he sent his mind into his Interspatial Dimension and took out the God Sealing Stone to suppress the Ancient God Seal.

 1237 Ziling Zone

    Chapter 1237 - Ziling Zone


    After Zhao Feng unexpectedly managed to escape from Ancient God Black Heaven''s attack, the two Ancient Gods began to communicate with each other. They instantly understood everything.


    "I was too impulsive!" Ancient God Night Dragon was somewhat apologetic, as he had been the first one to attack.


    "So, this kid also stole something from Ancient Soul Hall," Ancient God Night Dragon continued.


    Of course, he didn''t believe in Ancient God Black Heaven''s explanation. Zhao Feng was just a Quasi-God, so how could he have stolen an object belonging to Ancient Soul Hall from the zone in which it resided and then come all the way to the Gulong Zone? But Ancient God Night Dragon only needed to know that Ancient God Black Heaven wasn''t after the five-colored crystalline palace to be satisfied.


    "Not good! That brat escaped!" Ancient God Night Dragon received a message from the two True Gods of Violet Night Hall and immediately became a little angry. Zhao Feng actually managed to throw off the two Rank Five True Gods he had brought!


    Thwish! Thwish!


    The two Ancient Gods instantly left using Instant Movement.


    "Good Sir, be at ease. I have a specially-made search instrument¡­ and I know where that kid is going!" Ancient God Night Dragon gave a vicious laugh.


    ¡­


    After using Instant Movement to flee for a while, Zhao Feng immediately changed directions.


    Ancient Gods had a very extensive Divine Sense, and Ancient God Night Dragon also had a search instrument with him. If they traveled in roughly the same direction as Zhao Feng, they would quickly catch up.


    Zhao Feng continued to use Instant Movement to flee. Every time he reached his limit, he would have Han Ning''er use her Eye of Life to help him recover.


    After an entire day, Zhao Feng chose to take a small break.


    "Ancient Gods¡­! There will come a day when I will crush you under my feet!" Zhao Feng''s eyes burned with determination as he clenched his teeth.


    His strength was currently comparable to the strongest prodigy of the Gulong Zone, Quasi-God Heaven Swallower. If Heaven Swallower had the confidence to become a Rank Four True God in one go, so did Zhao Feng. As long as he could reach Rank Four in one go, his path to becoming an Ancient God would be extremely smooth, and he would be able to travel this path all the way to the summit of Ancient Gods.


    Thus, Zhao Feng was confident that, so long as he survived, he could wash himself of all this humiliation.


    "You can definitely do it!" A ripple went through Han Ning''er''s clear eyes as she continued to help Zhao Feng recover.


    Han Ning''er had never seen someone as talented as Zhao Feng. She had witnessed Zhao Feng perform many miracles and was confident that he could perform such a feat as well.


    After recovering to his peak condition, Zhao Feng continued on his journey. He altered his route and was even more cautious on the road.


    For Ancient God Night Dragon to have run into Zhao Feng, it was clear that he knew where Zhao Feng wanted to go. Zhao Feng was no fool, so he adjusted his route to compensate for this.


    ¡­


    Twenty-five years went by in the blink of an eye.


    The Ziling Zone was one of the most prosperous of the major zones in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. There were four five-star factions in this zone, each of them extremely powerful.


    The uninhabited regions of the Ziling Zone were either home to extremely harsh environments or occupied by extremely powerful Yao Gods.


    On the border of the Ziling Zone, ancient trees of massive size soared into the skies. From a distance, the unbroken clouds seemed to be the leaves of these trees.


    A six-man team was rapidly proceeding through this gloomy forest.


    "Everyone, be careful! Many groups passing into the Ziling Zone have suffered a loss in this Heaven-Towering Forest."


    A gray-robed elder holding a dark purple hoop in his hand was leading the way. His hair was a mixture of dark red and gray, and his body was covered in rather obvious violet scales.


    "Mm!"


    The other members of the group nodded their heads.


    In this team of six, the gray-robed elder was a Rank Four True God, two muscular men were Rank Three True Gods, and the other three youths were Quasi-Gods.


    "Uncle He, with your Dark Soul Ring, what dangers could we face?" A young girl dressed in red giggled.


    The rest of the people in the group laughed along with her but said nothing.


    Uncle He nodded. The divine artifact known as the Dark Soul Ring boosted the distance his Divine Sense could travel while also concealing it. It was one of those uncommon divine artifacts used for surveying and scouting.


    But there were no absolutes. Other than the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, there were also many extremely formidable Yao Gods with powerful skills.


    "Eh?" Uncle He''s expression suddenly flickered.


    The entire team stopped.


    Brrrooom!


    An enormous rumbling sound slowly intensified. Tens of thousands of li away from this team of six, four figures were rapidly moving forward.


    One was black and three were violet. These were Ancient God Black Heaven and Ancient God Night Dragon.


    The world roiled as the four passed through, and all obstructions in their way were pulverized.


    Aaaaaah!


    Heaven-Towering Forest resounded with the panicked cries of Yao beasts. The entire ancient forest began to resound with endless rumbling and shaking.


    "Why''s that brat heading to the Ziling Zone?" Ancient God Black Heaven asked.


    "I heard that it''s to deliver the Eye of Life. He probably wants to use the Eye of Life to join a major faction." Ancient God Night Dragon wasn''t very clear on this subject, so he could only speculate.


    Swish...


    The group of four pierced through Heaven-Towering Forest like a sharp sword, destroying everything in their way.


    In the distance, the team of six were frozen in shock.


    "There are two Ancient Gods in that group of four!" Uncle He took in a deep breath as he commented.


    "Ancient God¡­!"


    The youths in the group watched with reverence.


    If they wanted to pass through Heaven-Towering Forest, they needed to be cautious throughout the entire journey. However, this Ancient God group could barge their way through, flying with all their power and ignoring all obstructions.


    "Let''s continue," Uncle He declared once the two Ancient Gods had left.


    But the six didn''t get very far before they began to slow down. With a sinking expression, Uncle He scanned the area ahead with his Divine Sense.


    "Not good! The two Ancient Gods passed through this area and threw the Yao beasts of Heaven-Towering Forest into chaos!" Uncle He grimaced.


    "How could this be?" The red-clothed girl''s face froze, fear appearing in her clear eyes.


    Kabooom!


    Vicious and ruthless auras gradually began to flow in from their surroundings.


    "Back up! We''ll continue once the Yao beasts have settled down," Uncle He immediately ordered.


    In their current state of alarm, the Yao beasts of Heaven-Towering Forest were more violent. If this group carelessly pressed forward, they would incur endless danger.


    The team huddled together, with the three Quasi-Gods in the center while the three True Gods formed up around them, and began to retreat.


    At this moment, several vicious figures appeared in the clouds hanging over this gloomy and primordial forest.


    Awoooo!


    An enormous Golden Lion Vulture shrouded in a golden wind storm was the first to attack.


    Uncle He stepped forward, slashing down with a dark red sword that unleashed twisted waves of flame.


    But at this same moment, more Yao beasts charged in from another direction.


    These Yao beasts were Rank Three Yao Gods at most. One-on-one, they were no match for Uncle He, but they had the numbers.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The team of six fended off the Yao beast herd as they rapidly retreated.


    But at this moment, Uncle He turned his eyes toward a certain place in the clouds.


    The clouds began to churn, and an enormous black silhouette shot out like a lightning bolt.


    "Not good! It''s a Rank Four Yao God ¨C the Flash Eagle!" Uncle He hollered.


    As long as a Rank Four Yao God did not appear, he could stabilize the situation, but now, he had no chance of victory.


    The team of six immediately used their trump cards, holding back the numerous Yao Gods as they made a break for it.


    ¡­


    Two months later, two figures appeared at Heaven-Towering Forest along the border of the Ziling Zone.


    "We''re finally here¡­ the Ziling Zone!" Zhao Feng''s eyes sparkled.


    After twenty-five years, he had finally crossed three zones and reached the Ziling Zone. This was the longest journey Zhao Feng had ever taken.


    Zhao Feng''s cold and handsome face was clearly outlined, making him seem more robust. His deep eyes were home to a latent sharpness.


    "Why did you want to come to the Ziling Zone?" Han Ning''er asked with a smile.


    The two had experienced too much together on this journey, and they had slowly gotten closer.


    "To find someone¡­." Zhao Feng stared into the distance.


    He had never imagined that the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods would be so huge that finding a single person would be so difficult.


    So much time has passed. How is Yufei doing nowadays?


    "Oh¡­." Han Ning''er saw a hint of softness in Zhao Feng''s eyes, and for some reason, she felt a little disappointment.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s gaze suddenly turned to the right. Han Ning''er also slowed down as if she had heard something.


    "Good Sir, please save us!" A soul message shot toward Zhao Feng.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng called out as he took flight.


    He knew nothing about the Ziling Zone, not even a speck of a map. Thus, there was nothing better than saving someone and gathering a little information in exchange.


    He was greeted by the sight of a small team of six, all heavily injured, surrounded by ten Yao Gods.


    "Two Quasi-Gods?" The two muscular men in this team scanned Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er for a few moments before sighing.


    "Little brother, you should leave. There''s a Rank Four Yao God and four Rank Three Yao Gods here¡­ you can''t help us!" Elder He said with furrowed brows.


    He had only managed to sense someone passing nearby using the Dark Soul Ring, so he sought out their help. However, he hadn''t expected for it to be only two Quasi-Gods.


    The rest of the people in the group looked at Zhao Feng, their joy dissolving into sadness. They had been chased by these Yao Gods for two months. Through these constant battles, they had gradually been surrounded. If they had not come so prepared, they would have already died.


    Just a moment ago, they believed that they had been rescued, but then they discovered that it was just two Quasi-Gods passing by.


    Zhao Feng glanced at Elder He and then flew forward.


    "Mm? He''s still coming over? Is he suicidal?" the red-clothed girl said in surprise.


    At this time, several Yao Gods discovered Zhao Feng and their gazes turned vicious.


    "It seems that he really is suicidal. Unless he has the strength of a Rank Three Quasi-God, he won''t be of any help here!" one of the Rank Three True Gods in the team said.


    "Seeking death!" At this moment, one of the Rank Three Yao Gods surrounding this team of six lunged at Zhao Feng.


    The six could already see Zhao Feng being torn apart.


    Zhao Feng stared at this Rank Three True God, and his eyes suddenly exploded with icy and somber light.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Zhao Feng''s right arm flashed with five-colored lightning as he pushed forward with his palm.


    This was a massive palm of five-colored lightning, almost blinding in its resplendence.


    The Rank Three Yao God collided with this palm of light.


    Awoooo!


    The Rank Three Yao God gave a wretched scream.


    All the Five Elements energy and Wind Lightning energy within this palm impacted against this Rank Three Yao God. When the light faded away, the Rank Three Yao God''s charred corpse dropped to the ground!

 1238 Seeking a Doctor

    Chapter 1238 - Seeking a Doctor


    Zhao Feng''s expression was unperturbed by his feat of killing a Rank Three Yao God with a single palm. He had spent the last twenty-five years constantly on the move, but that didn''t mean that he had let his cultivation fall behind. In addition, within the Spacetime Robe Dimension, ten days spent in cultivation was only one day in the outside world.


    Zhao Feng had reached the peak of the 11th level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique. That palm just now was perfectly fused with the Divine Power of Five Elemental Wind Lightning. This perfectly fused Five Elements Divine Power was simply not something a mere Rank Three Yao God could resist.


    In addition, Zhao Feng was already on the verge of breaking into the 12th level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique.


    Nearby, the nine Yao Gods that were about to attack the group of six suddenly paused.


    The team''s Elder He stared in shock at Zhao Feng, and then he took another look at Han Ning''er. He now knew that he had made a mistake in judgment!


    That muscular man who said that Zhao Feng would be useless if he wasn''t a Rank Three Quasi-God was stricken by disbelief, and his mouth was hanging open. It appeared that Zhao Feng was not merely a Rank Three Quasi-God.


    The red-clothed girl covered her mouth with a petite and tender hand, unable to believe what she was seeing. She was considered a Quasi-God genius in her race, but she was like a mere firefly before the bright moon that was Zhao Feng.


    "Human, this place has nothing to do with you. Don''t butt into other people''s business!" The Rank Four Yao God Flash Eagle stared at Zhao Feng with cold and brutal eyes as it warned. To this Yao God, Zhao Feng appeared to be even stronger than the team of six''s Rank Four True God.


    "Good Sir, save us and our Scarlet Stripe Race will give you a heavy reward!" Elder He once more spoke.


    A moment ago, he had advised Zhao Feng to leave, but Zhao Feng still decided to help, so he was sure that Zhao Feng wasn''t someone who would turn a blind eye to the desperate.


    Zhao Feng nodded in agreement.


    Everyone in the team of six instantly broke into expressions of joy. They only recently joked that Zhao Feng didn''t know his own strength, but Zhao Feng was still willing to help them. Zhao Feng was far stronger than a Rank Three Quasi-God, so with his help, they definitely had a chance to escape.


    "The three of you, hold that human down!" the Rank Four Yao God Flash Eagle immediately ordered three Yao Gods next to it.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    These three Rank Three Yao Gods charged at Zhao Feng.


    The remaining six Yao Gods put all their strength into attacking the six members of the Scarlet Stripe Race. The Scarlet Stripe Race team was both heavily injured and exhausted, so as long as these Yao Gods could take care of these six, they had nothing to fear from that strange golden-haired human.


    "Three Rank Three Yao Gods¡­!" Quite a few people in the Scarlet Stripe Race group began to worry for Zhao Feng.


    "Don''t worry! He still has a comrade!" Uncle He immediately said.


    These words instantly soothed the members of his team. Since Zhao Feng was so strong, then the beautiful girl next to him was certainly no weakling.


    Boom! Bang!


    The battle ignited once more. Having been rescued from the brink of death, the Scarlet Stripe Race attacked the Flash Eagle and the other Yao Gods with renewed strength.


    "Careful! There''s something strange about this kid!"


    The three Rank Three Yao Gods surrounding Zhao Feng did not blindly charge in. The scene of their comrade''s death was still clearly branded into their minds. Moreover, the three of them only needed to hold down Zhao Feng, not fight to the death with him.


    But even if they did not dare to strike, that didn''t mean Zhao Feng wouldn''t.


    Pop! Hisss!


    Zhao Feng transformed into a blur of lightning that approached one of the three Yao Gods.


    "So fast!"


    Zhao Feng appeared in front of it so quickly that it had no time to react.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Without a word, Zhao Feng waved his palm and unleashed a giant python of five-colored lightning at this Rank Three Yao God.


    This Yao God was extremely fast, but Zhao Feng''s technique seemed to ignore distance and was seemingly inescapable.


    "Ah¡­!" The Rank Three Yao God flew backward with a scream, a gruesome burn on its body.


    Zhao Feng turned his emotionless eyes to the second Yao God.


    Over the past twenty-five years, his Space Intent had reached Level Four. His skill in Space Intent was now proficient enough that he could apply it to both his movement techniques and attacks, allowing him to catch his opponents off guard.


    The moment Zhao Feng heavily injured this Rank Three Yao God, the other two Yao Gods fired off mighty attacks of their own.


    Two claw lights brimming with Yao Qi flew at Zhao Feng''s back. These two fierce attacks looked like they were about to tear Zhao Feng into pieces.


    Pop! Hisss!


    Zhao Feng''s body crackled with lightning, and with a boom, he appeared several li away.


    "Your attacks can''t even catch up to me," Zhao Feng jeered at the two Yao Gods.


    Zhao Feng was already very fast, and now that he had fused his speed with his profound Space Intent, he could directly dodge the attack of a Rank Three True God.


    "What high-level Space Intent!"


    Uncle He watched this with sparkling eyes. Zhao Feng was only a Quasi-God, but he had already comprehended the extremely complex Space Intent. Moreover, it seemed he had even reached a higher level than his own.


    The three Quasi-Gods of the Scarlet Stripe Race were all visibly shocked by this comment. Only two of them had barely comprehended Fire Intent, and this was only because of their bloodlines. They hadn''t even touched the even more profound Space Intent.


    "Damn, this brat¡­!" The Flash Eagle could see that Zhao Feng would be a thorny opponent. It was skilled in Light Intent and Space Intent, but it judged that it was no match for Zhao Feng in terms of speed.


    "Let''s end this quickly." After throwing off the two Rank Three Yao Gods, Zhao Feng charged straight at the Yao Gods surrounding the Scarlet Stripe Race team.


    "First, defeat this Rank Four Yao God," Zhao Feng emotionlessly declared.


    Zhao Feng joined together with Uncle He to fiercely assault the Flash Eagle. Zhao Feng''s attacks were suffused with Space Intent and left the Flash Eagle with nowhere to run.


    The Flash Eagle''s physical body was rather average, so after being struck several times by Zhao Feng''s Five Elements Divine Power, it began to run out of strength. In addition, the Flash Eagle sensed that Zhao Feng wasn''t even fighting seriously with it; he had never once used any sort of supreme skill.


    "Let''s go!" The Flash Eagle sounded the retreat and withdrew.


    With the Rank Four Flash Eagle gone, the rest of the Yao Gods could only withdraw.


    With the Yao Gods gone, the Scarlet Stripe Race members dropped to the ground. After all, they had been surrounded for two months and were exhausted in both body and mind.


    "Many thanks, Good Sir, for your assistance. Is there anything that we can help you with? The Scarlet Stripe Race will do anything in its power!" Uncle He said with a smile.


    "Right! Big Bro, why did you come to the Ziling Zone?" The red-clothed girl immediately walked up, staring at Zhao Feng with eyes full of wonder.


    Zhao Feng didn''t seem very old, but his strength was simply astounding, and he had even comprehended Space Intent!


    "Little Xi, be quiet!" Uncle He immediately barked.


    Zhao Feng had far more strength than an ordinary Rank Three Quasi-God. He was definitely the genius of some peak four-star faction or even a five-star faction, not something the Scarlet Stripe Race could compare to. For He Xi to directly ask about his objective was far too rash.


    He Xi covered her mouth and said no more.


    "I''ve come to the Ziling Zone to find a doctor," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    The Zhao Feng duo had come to the Ziling Zone without any map or acquaintances. However, Han Ning''er''s Spirit Grass Gate had sent a disciple extremely talented in the Medicine Dao to the Ziling Zone several tens of thousands of years ago. If they could find Han Ning''er''s senior, everything would be much simpler.


    "What a coincidence! We''re also going to the Ziling Zone to find a doctor!" Before Uncle He could say anything, the red-clothed girl happily volunteered this information.


    Upon further questioning, the Scarlet Stripe Race understood that Zhao Feng had no idea where this doctor was or what faction they resided in.


    "We''re headed toward a faction that emphasizes the Medicine Dao. The two of you could travel with us to Universal Salvation Hall. There might be someone there who knows the doctor that you''re seeking out." Uncle He thought for a few moments before proposing.


    Zhao Feng possessed abnormal strength and had limitless potential. For the sake of making friends with him, Uncle He wanted to help however he could.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng thought it over for a few moments before agreeing.


    They were completely unfamiliar with the Ziling Zone, and though they wanted to find Han Ning''er''s senior, they had no idea where to start. If Han Ning''er''s senior mixed well with others, it would probably be very easy to find where they were through other doctors.


    Afterward, Zhao Feng joined the Scarlet Stripe Race team and set off.


    "Big Bro, is this gorgeous older sister just as strong as you are?" He Xi giggled. She had been constantly glancing at Han Ning''er throughout the journey.


    He Xi was the number one beauty of the Scarlet Stripe Race, but every time she looked at Han Ning''er, she felt that those looks that she was so proud of were rather lacking.


    The men in the group had also been constantly glancing at Han Ning''er, an enchanted look in their eyes. In that desperate battle, they had had no time to care about Han Ning''er, but now that they were no longer in danger, they were beginning to truly experience Han Ning''er''s beauty. Han Ning''er had not said a word, but she exuded a wondrous charm, and just by standing next to her, one would feel relaxed and that their injuries were recovering more quickly.


    "I''m not skilled at fighting, but I know some healing arts," Han Ning''er declared.


    The team members'' eyes instantly brightened. Doctors were an extremely in-demand career in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, as conflicts of all sizes were far too frequent between the numerous factions. The Scarlet Stripe Race was headed to the Ziling Zone to seek medicine and treatment for one of its heavily injured experts.


    "Miss Han, if you don''t mind, please examine my injuries," one of the muscular men smiled and said.


    The other members of the team also indicated their desire for Han Ning''er to treat them. Their injuries were very severe, and the fact that the gorgeous Han Ning''er was a doctor gave them a perfect conversation topic.


    Han Ning''er did not avoid them. She helped to look at their injuries, gave them some medicine, and used techniques to treat their wounds. She was raised in Spirit Grass Gate, so even without using the Eye of Life, she was quite capable of treating some injuries.


    "Miss Han possesses such superb healing arts! Could you be a doctor from some Medicine Dao faction?" These men couldn''t help but overly praise her.


    Han Ning''er''s Eye of Life made it so that her treatments were more effective than usual, so her healing arts truly were rather superb.


    The members of the Scarlet Stripe Race continued to enthusiastically converse with Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er during the journey. After all, they believed that Zhao Feng was a strong expert with limitless potential while Han Ning''er was an incredible doctor and peerless beauty who was bound to be some famous doctor in the future.


    The group quickly passed through Heaven-Towering Forest.


    The Scarlet Stripe Race team had only been attacked by the Yao beasts because two Ancient Gods had riled up the Yao beasts of the forest. Now that the number of members in their team had increased, the Yao beasts didn''t even dare to bother them.


    "Two Ancient Gods?" Zhao Feng was amazed.


    Ancient Gods were very rare, and Zhao Feng hadn''t met any Ancient Gods besides the ones that were chasing him, but the Scarlet Stripe Race had run into two Ancient Gods? This made Zhao Feng pause and think.

 1239 Universal Salvation Hall

    Chapter 1239 - Universal Salvation Hall


    Universal Salvation Hall was a four-and-a-half-star faction on the outer edge of the Ziling Zone.


    The fact that it was the doctors who wielded power in Universal Salvation Hall meant that this faction had a unique and respected status.


    The surrounding factions all had people who had sought treatment from Universal Salvation Hall. Some of the more famous doctors of Universal Salvation Hall had even treated people in the upper echelons of peak four-star factions.


    Thus, even though the large and small factions in the area would all fight with each other over resources, they would generally leave Universal Salvation Hall undisturbed.


    Eventually, Zhao Feng and the Scarlet Stripe Race team arrived at this Medicine Dao faction.


    Universal Salvation Hall was located at the base of a cliff. This was a beautiful region of green hills and clear water, awash with all kinds of wondrous and bizarre fragrances.


    "We''ve finally arrived!" A hint of joy appeared on Uncle He''s face.


    During the journey, Zhao Feng had learned that the patriarch of the Scarlet Stripe Race was suffering from some kind of strange poison that required some special method to suppress. As a result, he could not leave.


    The Scarlet Stripe Race was on the perimeter of the zone bordering the Ziling Zone, so it wasn''t very far from Universal Salvation Hall. Thus, the Scarlet Stripe Race had dispatched this team to seek a doctor from Universal Salvation Hall.


    Outside Universal Salvation Hall, the guards were inspecting and questioning the visitors. These were all people who had come from nearby areas to consult a doctor or seek medicine.


    Zhao Feng''s group went to the back of the very long line.


    "I didn''t think that a group of doctors could also create a faction." Zhao Feng chuckled to himself as he gazed at the resplendent Universal Salvation Hall.


    In Zhao Feng''s view, the fundamental reason was probably that the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was too restless and the wars between factions beneath peak four-star factions far too commonplace. In comparison to the Continent Zone, a formidable doctor was far more useful in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    It was soon the turn of Zhao Feng''s group.


    "What have all of you come here for?"


    They were stopped by three guards. These three guards were only Demigods, but they showed no fear as they questioned True Gods like Uncle He.


    "We are from the Scarlet Stripe Race and have come to seek a doctor from Universal Salvation Hall. Elder Chen of Universal Salvation Hall''s outer sect knows us," Uncle He immediately said.


    One of the guards took a message token and communicated with his supervisor in the hall. After confirming that everything was in order, the guards let the group through.


    Zhao Feng''s group entered Universal Salvation Hall and met the Elder Chen that Uncle He had spoken of.


    Uncle He immediately explained the patriarch''s situation to Elder Chen.


    "Your patriarch has been inflicted with Mourning Soul Flame Poison. This poison can only be cured by the influential doctors of the inner sect¡­." Elder Chen grimaced.


    The people from the Scarlet Stripe Race weren''t looking much better. Based on what Elder Chen said, they needed to invite a supreme doctor of Rank Five or better from Universal Salvation Hall, and this doctor would need to travel to their race to personally treat their patriarch.


    The price for employing such doctor was enormous, and the resources that they would need for treatment were part of their fee. Moreover, they would also need to pay the doctor for the time needed to travel to and from their race.


    But there was nothing to be done. This was for their patriarch, after all.


    Elder Chen prepared to bring the group into the inner sect. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng had asked Elder Chen if he knew Han Ning''er''s senior, but Elder Chen indicated that he had never heard of him.


    With Elder Chen''s referral, Zhao Feng''s group entered the inner sect of Universal Salvation Hall.


    The inner sect of Universal Salvation Hall was a beautiful and secluded place, and a wondrous fragrance drifted through the air. Breathing it in was extremely comfortable, and it seemed to have some unique healing effect.


    The Scarlet Stripe Race cautiously stood within an ancient pavilion. A white-robed doctor sat in front of them.


    Only after taking a sip of tea did he cast his proud and indifferent gaze at the group.


    "Curing a poison requires 600 average-quality God Crystals, with all the materials provided by your side. In addition, the round trip will take me at least two years, so I require an additional 400 average-quality God Crystals," the white-robed doctor apathetically said.


    Zhao Feng was stunned by what he was hearing. Without even considering the cost of the medicine itself, the Scarlet Stripe Race already needed to pay one thousand average-quality God Crystals, equal to one hundred thousand low-quality God Crystals.


    For one month in a Cultivation Pagoda, Zhao Feng only needed to pay one hundred low-quality God Crystals, but curing one poison required one hundred thousand. This was no small sum for a four-and-a-half-star faction.


    Now that I''m in the Ziling Zone, I should have Zhao Hui join a Medicine Dao faction, Zhao Feng thought to himself.


    It was only in a faction like this that Zhao Hui''s Medicine Dao could rapidly mature and be of use to Zhao Feng.


    Meanwhile, the three Quasi-Gods of the Scarlet Stripe Race were so stunned by this number that their eyes had lost focus. Uncle He and the two Rank Three True Gods had gloomy looks in their eyes as they silently listened.


    Before coming, Elder Chen had estimated that they would need to pay sixty thousand low-quality God Crystals, and this was the price that they had kept in mind. However, this white-robed doctor was charging a much higher price.


    "You must know that your patriarch is an Ancient God, so this price is already quite cheap." The doctor saw the expressions on their faces and gave a disdainful chuckle. He had seen this kind of situation far too many times.


    "Think about it and then give me your answer." The white-robed doctor threw out these words and left.


    "Good Sir, please wait!" Zhao Feng suddenly spoke up.


    The doctor who had just been walking past Zhao Feng stopped and turned his arrogant eyes to him. But then, the doctor turned his eyes to Han Ning''er, and a sharp glimmer went through them.


    Han Ning''er was not only a city-toppling beauty, her body also exuded a pure vitality that indicated that she was a prime candidate for cultivating the Medicine Dao. The white-robed doctor had never seen someone so suited to cultivate the Medicine Dao as Han Ning''er.


    "I would like to inquire with Senior about a person," Zhao Feng said.


    "This is not the place to seek out information." The doctor gave Zhao Feng an impatient glance and then turned back to Han Ning''er.


    Zhao Feng frowned. This doctor was a little too unkind; he wouldn''t even allow Zhao Feng to ask about a person?


    "Young lady, would you be willing to remain in Universal Salvation Hall? This old man is currently lacking a disciple. If you are willing, I can make you a core disciple of Universal Salvation Hall!" The white-robed doctor smiled at Han Ning''er.


    He was sure that Han Ning''er had already noticed that he was a revered doctor and was confident that he would not be rejected.


    But to his surprise, Han Ning''er gave Zhao Feng a questioning gaze.


    "No, we still have other matters," Zhao Feng coldly refused.


    Han Ning''er had the Eye of Life; how could she stay in a mere four-and-a-half-star faction? In addition, Zhao Feng could not use a four-and-a-half-star faction ¨C even a Medicine Dao faction ¨C to get in touch with the Spiritual Race.


    Zhao Feng had learned from the Scarlet Stripe Race team that the Spiritual Race was a five-star faction in the Ziling Zone. Zhao Yufei''s Spiritual Race bloodline had caused the experts of the Spiritual Race to personally descend to the lower world and take her away, so one could easily imagine the importance the Spiritual Race placed on Zhao Yufei. She would not be someone Zhao Feng could meet just because he wanted to.


    The white-robed doctor immediately turned nasty at Zhao Feng''s refusal.


    "Young lady, you can think about it some more. Universal Salvation Hall is the strongest four-and-a-half-star faction in this area. Even some peak four-star factions have to give Universal Salvation Hall a little face¡­." The white-robed doctor ignored Zhao Feng and continued to persuade Han Ning''er.


    "Let''s go," Zhao Feng calmly said, after which he bid farewell to the Scarlet Stripe Race group.


    Zhao Feng had only come to this four-and-a-half-star faction in the hopes of finding Han Ning''er''s senior through the doctors of this place. However, there were many other methods of finding one person.


    "Wait! She must stay!" The white-robed doctor snapped, the pressure of a Rank Five True God instantly filling the room.


    The Scarlet Stripe Race members were frozen in shock. They had brought Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er over, never imagining that Zhao Feng would get into such a quarrel with this doctor after exchanging only a few words. However, this man was both a doctor and a Rank Five True God, and this place was Universal Salvation Hall, so they did not dare to try to stop him.


    Zhao Feng''s brow creased while his eyes exploded with cold light.


    At his current level of strength, he didn''t fear a Rank Five True God at all, and this was clearly not a Rank Five True God who was skilled in battle. However, Universal Salvation Hall was a four-and-a-half-star faction, which meant that there was certainly an Ancient God presiding over it. Moreover, Universal Salvation Hall also had an extremely lofty reputation.


    If Zhao Feng provoked the wrath of Universal Salvation Hall, he would also provoke the wrath of all the surrounding factions. He had only just entered the Ziling Zone, so he truly did not wish to cause such a mess for himself.


    "Haha, can you even keep her?" Zhao Feng''s face relaxed as he coldly laughed.


    "You think Universal Salvation Hall can''t keep her?" The doctor''s face twitched upon seeing Zhao Feng''s expression. A mere Quasi-God dared to speak to him like this?


    The doctor was now thinking about arresting these two and having Zhao Feng executed while he slowly persuaded Han Ning''er. However, the Scarlet Stripe Race group was still here, so if he did this, he would also have to take care of them as well.


    Zhao Feng looked at Han Ning''er and nodded.


    Han Ning''er''s green eyes instantly focused on the white-robed doctor. Her eyes were suddenly covered in a jade luster while boundless Life Intent energy began to seep into the surroundings.


    This pure Life Intent relaxed everyone''s minds. They felt their blood flowing more quickly through their veins, and their organs became extremely relaxed and comfortable. It felt like decades had been added to their lives.


    A few decades of life were nothing to True Gods, but these were only ripples of Intent energy, so this effect was somewhat absurd.


    The six members of the Scarlet Stripe Race stared at Han Ning''er in shock. They never knew her to possess this capability.


    However, the white-robed doctor was even more stunned, his eyes wide open as he stared at Han Ning''er, his breath growing short.


    Several powerful Divine Senses exploded out from Universal Salvation Hall and began to scan this pavilion.


    When the owners of these Divine Senses noticed Han Ning''er''s eyes, they immediately stood up and charged out. In a flash, two Rank Five True Gods and one Rank Six True God had appeared within the pavilion.


    The Scarlet Stripe Race members all trembled in fear. They were completely clueless as to why so many True God experts had appeared in this place.


    "Good Sir, is this an inheritor of the Life God Eye?" At this moment, the Rank Six True God, who had a head of dark green hair, two horns, and a goatee, softly whispered.


    "The Eye of Life!?" The members of the Scarlet Stripe Race all stared at Han Ning''er and her sparkling green eyes and gasped.

 1240 Gathering Information

    Chapter 1240 - Gathering Information


    It was very difficult to identify one of the Eight Great God Eyes or their descendants unless their abilities were intentionally displayed. It was for this reason that no one had been able to identify Han Ning''er as a descendant of the Eye of Life until this moment.


    After activating the Eye of Life, Han Ning''er appeared like a Goddess of Life who reigned over this land. To bathe in the flourishing vitality of her green eyes was to experience divine perfection.


    "Big Sister Han is actually a descendant of the Eye of Life!" He Xi''s mouth was wide open while her eyes shone with respect.


    In her eyes, the descendants of the God Eyes possessed the noblest bloodlines of all, comparable to those bloodlines of the top fifty races of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. As of this moment, she did not dare to compare herself to Han Ning''er anymore.


    "This¡­ how?" In his extreme shock, the white-robed doctor could only spit out a few words.


    Those with the Eye of Life didn''t even need to study the Medicine Dao. They could rely on their eye alone to easily treat various injuries and illnesses. Once they began to delve into the Medicine Dao, the abilities of their Eye of Life would reach their maximum potential.


    A doctor with the Eye of Life would undoubtedly be a supreme existence of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!


    Universal Salvation Hall could be considered the four-and-a-half-star faction with the most status in this area, but it could not truly hold a descendant of the Eye of Life. Once the major factions learned that Universal Salvation Hall had an Eye of Life descendant, they would put everything aside and attack Universal Salvation Hall to take the descendant for themselves.


    "Elder Shu!" the Rank Six True God of Universal Salvation Hall fiercely barked.


    The white-robed doctor shuddered.


    "Good Miss, this Shu was blind. Please treat all my words as a joke and do not take them to heart!" The white-robed doctor smiled and bowed.


    Anyone with the Eye of Life who entered a powerful faction was certain to receive the faction''s full support. Their future achievements were certain to surpass those of any doctor of Universal Salvation Hall.


    The Scarlet Stripe Race team members were stunned as they stared blankly at this white-robed doctor. This doctor of the inner sect that had treated them with such disdain and arrogance was now bowing and scraping in apology toward Han Ning''er. This difference in behavior was far too large.


    "A joke? Elder Shu almost attacked a junior just now!" Zhao Feng coldly remarked. If he hadn''t told Han Ning''er to display the abilities of the Eye of Life, this Elder Shu might have already attacked them.


    "A misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!" The doctor gave an awkward smile as he silently cursed Zhao Feng.


    "What business has brought the two of you here?" The Rank Six True God of Universal Salvation Hall spoke once more.


    Elder Shu of Universal Salvation Hall had clearly offended these two youths. Thus, this Rank Six True God hoped that, by helping the two of them, he could win back their favor.


    "Has Senior heard of a person called Yu Bingcheng?" Han Ning''er deactivated her Eye of Life and asked.


    "Yu Bingcheng? Are you speaking of the Life Origin Sect''s Elder Yu?" The Rank Six True God thought for a few moments, then his eyes began to glimmer, and his attitude toward Han Ning''er became much warmer.


    The Life Origin Sect was also a faction in which doctors ruled, but it was a peak four-star faction with a widespread reputation.


    "I''m not sure. I only know the name." Han Ning''er shook her head.


    Based on this Rank Six True God''s attitude, Yu Bingcheng was an extremely well-known person.


    Zhao Feng had an emotionless face. A name was one thing, but that didn''t mean that this person was the one Han Ning''er was looking for.


    Afterward, according to Zhao Feng''s and Han Ning''er''s request, the Rank Six True God of Universal Salvation Hall sent a letter to this Elder Yu of the Life Origin Sect.


    The letter explained Han Ning''er''s situation. If this Elder Yu really was Han Ning''er''s senior, he would naturally make the appropriate arrangements. Until they received a reply, Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er chose to stay at the hall.


    On a certain day, the six members of the Scarlet Stripe Race prepared to return home.


    "We''ve truly troubled Brother Zhao this time. The Scarlet Stripe Race can''t even express the limits of its gratitude!"


    The members of the Scarlet Stripe Race had grateful looks on their faces as they bid Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er farewell.


    Traveling with them was that white-robed doctor of Universal Salvation Hall. Under the request of Universal Salvation Hall, he was traveling to the Scarlet Stripe Race to treat the poison of its patriarch free of charge.


    "Goodbye Big Bro Zhao, Big Sis Han!" He Xi waved her hands at the pair in farewell.


    The white-robed doctor left together with the Scarlet Stripe Race team, a sullen expression on his face.


    "Let''s wait. We''ll get some news soon!" After saying these words to Han Ning''er, Zhao Feng returned to his own room.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out the Spacetime Robe and entered its dimension. Within, the little thieving cat''s egg was still undisturbed and motionless.


    "Master!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon respectfully called out.


    Zhao Feng had spent most of the past twenty-five years on the road while the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had spent two hundred and fifty years cultivating in the Spacetime Robe.


    Its cultivation had recovered to that of a Rank Five True God, only one rank away from its prime. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had used many Intent Crystals in this journey, and its Fire Intent was even a little stronger than it had been at its peak.


    Elsewhere, Zhao Wang was still cultivating. His face was cold while his eyes were sinister and frightening.


    Zhao Hui was reading books, identifying medicines, and studying pharmacology.


    Zhao Wan was responsible for expanding their territory in the Ancient Dream Realm and providing cultivation resources for everyone.


    Zhao Feng went to the spot he usually cultivated at and seated himself cross-legged on the ground.


    Swish!


    Two transparent crystals floated in front of Zhao Feng, both of them crackling with lightning. These were the Lightning God Crystals that Xin Wuheng had given him. Their necessity in cultivation meant that Zhao Feng had ended up duplicating many of them.


    "The 12th level of the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique ¨C Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Divine Power! By fusing Lighting Power containing Tribulation Lightning Intent into Five Elements Divine Power, one can increase its destructive might!"


    Zhao Feng circulated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and began to absorb the Tribulation Lightning energy of the Lightning God Crystals into his Divine Power Vortex.


    The 12th level was also the last level. Once he finished cultivating it, he would have completely finished this technique. That moment would be the one in which Zhao Feng broke through and became a True God.


    Swish!


    As Zhao Feng cultivated the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Divine Power, he used his Divine Power and the Tribulation Lightning energy to temper his Sacred Lightning Body.


    The Sacred Lightning Body had fewer levels. Zhao Feng was at the peak of the seventh level and only a step away from full completion. However, this step was an extremely arduous one. It would be hard to temper his body with normal Tribulation Lightning energy.


    Five days later, a message was sent to Universal Salvation Hall; Elder Yu of the Life Origin Sect truly was Han Ning''er''s senior.


    "I didn''t think that you two really knew Elder Yu of the Life Origin Sect. If it''s like this, Miss Han will certainly receive a great deal of support from the Life Origin Sect and can look forward to a bright future!" the Rank Six True God of Universal Salvation Hall said with a smile.


    Even the Ancient God expert of Universal Salvation Hall left his seclusion to meet with the pair.


    Later that night, Universal Salvation Hall held a banquet for Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er. Many of Universal Salvation Hall''s doctors and the talented youths from the nearby factions took part in this feast.


    On the morning of the next day, Universal Salvation Hall had its people personally escort the pair to the peak four-star faction that was the Life Origin Sect.


    "When we get to the Life Origin Sect, don''t depend too much on this senior. You still have to rely on yourself!" Zhao Feng reminded Han Ning''er as they journeyed.


    The letter that Universal Salvation Hall had sent didn''t say anything about Han Ning''er being a descendant of the Eye of Life. If it had said this, Yu Bingcheng of the Life Origin Sect would have probably come over personally.


    From their current treatment, they could see that this Yu Bingcheng had a so-so attitude toward Han Ning''er.


    "Mm. When will you go to find the person you''re looking for?" Han Ning''er lowered her head and softly asked. When they arrived at the Ziling Zone, Han Ning''er knew that it wouldn''t be long until Zhao Feng left.


    "Very soon," Zhao Feng simply replied.


    With the reputation of Universal Salvation Hall, Zhao Feng''s group was able to travel along teleportation arrays.


    Two months later, the group smoothly arrived at the Life Origin Sect. With the referral from the Universal Salvation Hall''s people, the pair was able to get a meeting with Elder Yu.


    This Elder Yu appeared middle-aged and was dressed like a doctor, but compared to the white-robed doctor of Universal Salvation Hall, he appeared to have a bearing more suited to the profession.


    Elder Yu was a Rank Six True God who was only a step away from becoming an Ancient God, but this step was as difficult to make as ascending to the heavens.


    "Senior Yu, I am a disciple of Spirit Grass Gate," Han Ning''er volunteered.


    "Eh? You¡­" Elder Yu''s indifferent eyes immediately began to examine Han Ning''er.


    He originally believed that Spirit Grass Gate knew that he had been doing well on this side and sent some disciples for him to support. He never expected for Spirit Grass Gate to send him such a beauty. Moreover, Han Ning''er had a unique nature that made her ideal for cultivating the Medicine Dao.


    Elder Yu found himself somewhat enchanted by Han Ning''er.


    This woman is gorgeous, and her physique is unique. She has great potential and can be my cultivating partner! Elder Yu began to plan things out.


    Before this, Elder Yu had been planning on finding a partner to cultivate a secret dual cultivation method that would assist him in becoming an Ancient God. This Han Ning''er who had been delivered to his doorstep was both exceedingly beautiful and perfectly suited for cultivating this technique.


    "Senior Yu, I am also a descendant of the Eye of Life!" Han Ning''er slightly activated her Eye of Life and then declared.


    Elder Yu, who was still carefully examining Han Ning''er, was instantly frozen, his body turning stiff as his eyes stared into Han Ning''er''s dark green eyes.


    After a long while, Elder Yu smiled in pleasant surprise.


    "Good, good!" Elder Yu finally managed to say. He found it impossible to tear his eyes away from Han Ning''er.


    "The Eye of Life, haha! The Life Origin Sect will definitely bestow a high status upon you!" Elder Yu happily laughed.


    Afterward, Han Ning''er discussed the matter of Spirit Grass Gate with Elder Yu. In Han Ning''er''s heart, Elder Yu was still a member of Spirit Grass Gate, so she treated him as a respected senior and divulged all the disasters Spirit Grass Gate had faced.


    "Relax. I will have Yellow Dragon Pavilion pay a price¡­!" Elder Yu swore to Han Ning''er.


    After chatting for some time, Elder Yu finally turned his eyes to Zhao Feng.


    "It was Young Master Zhao who safely escorted me to the Ziling Zone!" Han Ning''er hurriedly introduced him.


    "My deepest gratitude to this young fellow for his assistance. If you have any requests, please, voice them. This Yu will agree to everything that is in his power!" Elder Yu examined Zhao Feng as he politely spoke.


    He could naturally tell that there was something unusual about Zhao Feng. After all, how could a single Quasi-God escort Han Ning''er safely to the Ziling Zone otherwise?


    And he could also see that Han Ning''er appeared rather interested in this golden-haired boy!


    "Has Senior ever head of the Spiritual Race''s Zhao Yufei?" Zhao Feng got straight to the point.


    This Elder Yu was an elder of a peak four-star faction as well as a doctor. He was certain to have an extremely extensive network of contacts and might be of assistance to Zhao Feng.


    "You know her!?" Elder Yu''s expression contorted in shock as he gave Zhao Feng a doubtful stare.


    Zhao Feng''s mind received a jolt. From the expression on Elder Yu''s face, he knew that Zhao Yufei truly was with the Ziling Zone''s Spiritual Race faction.

 1241 Entering the Spiritual Race

    Chapter 1241 - Entering the Spiritual Race


    "You know her!?" Elder Yu''s expression contorted in shock as he gave Zhao Feng a doubtful stare.


    The Spiritual Race was one of the Ziling Zone''s four five-star factions, and he knew all of the prodigies that were highly valued by this faction. Among them, the Spiritual Race''s Zhao Yufei was extremely outstanding. She was only beneath one and stood above ten thousand, and the Spiritual Race had placed its hopes on her.


    Impossible! This kid can''t know Zhao Yufei! Elder Yu mentally rejected this idea.


    Zhao Feng had come from the Gulong Zone, and he had a mediocre bloodline. It was impossible to have a relationship with Zhao Yufei of the Ziling Zone. Elder Yu was more liable to believe that Zhao Feng was one of Zhao Yufei''s admirers; he had made her the goddess of his dreams and merely wanted to see her.


    "Zhao Yufei¡­ Spiritual Race!" Han Ning''er softly muttered in shock.


    She finally learned who the person Zhao Feng wanted to find was, and this person was actually a part of the five-star Spiritual Race. It was no wonder Zhao Feng was so concerned about her that he would cover such vast distances to meet her.


    "Is there any way for me to see her or get in touch with her?" Zhao Feng inquired.


    Zhao Feng presumed that this Elder Yu would not be able to help him. Zhao Feng was so anxious with his questions because, once Elder Yu said that he could do nothing, Zhao Feng could immediately leave to seek out other methods.


    "This¡­" Elder Yu frowned as he fell silent.


    The Spiritual Race was a five-star faction, and the Life Origin Sect was one of its subordinate factions. However, he was just an ordinary elder of the Life Origin Sect. He truly had no way of helping Zhao Feng meet with a prodigy of the Spiritual Race like Zhao Yufei.


    If I don''t help this kid, he''ll definitely stick around! Elder Yu pondered.


    Han Ning''er was clearly interested in Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng stayed, the two were likely to end up as a couple. After all, the two had traveled together to the Ziling Zone and experienced many things together. Moreover, Han Ning''er had the Eye of Life and was perfect in both looks and character.


    "Senior Yu, please help him out," Han Ning''er softly whispered.


    "I can use my connections to get you into the Spiritual Race, but you would just be a worker disciple¡­" Elder Yu finally said after a long period of thought.


    In a faction, worker disciples were handymen and would normally never have a chance to interact with any important individuals.


    Above the worker disciples were the periphery disciples. Once one became a periphery disciple, they were truly considered a part of the Spiritual Race faction and were protected by the Spiritual Race. But the Spiritual Race was a five-star faction, so not even someone with Elder Yu''s connections could make a person of ambiguous origins into a periphery disciple of the Spiritual Race.


    "Little fellow, I see that you''re extremely strong and talented. Even if you''re a worker disciple, I''m confident that, if you do the job well, it won''t take long for you to be promoted to periphery disciple!" Elder Yu knew that the status of a worker disciple was too low and hurriedly added.


    "Worker disciple¡­" Zhao Feng''s brow creased in thought.


    As a worker disciple, he would have no chance to meet Zhao Yufei. However, Elder Yu was right in that, if he performed well as a worker disciple, he would have a chance of becoming a periphery disciple.


    "If you''re not willing, you can choose to wait for eighty years. After eighty years, the Spiritual Race will recruit disciples. Someone of your abilities should easily get in," Elder Yu continued.


    Even if he didn''t say this, Zhao Feng would have eventually found out.


    To cultivators, eighty years wasn''t very long at all. Some True Gods would spend several centuries in secluded cultivation.


    "Young Master Zhao, why don''t you remain here for a while and wait eighty years before going to the Spiritual Race¡­" Han Ning''er began to persuade Zhao Feng to remain.


    A worker disciple was simply too low of a status. No faction would worry about whether such a person lived or died. Zhao Feng was so outstanding that Han Ning''er found the thought of him performing common chores somewhat unbearable.


    "I''ll have to trouble Senior Yu. I want to go to the Spiritual Race!" Zhao Feng decided after thinking it over.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t wait eighty years. He would also find it difficult to enter the Spiritual Race through other avenues.


    Han Ning''er''s gaze instantly dimmed. Zhao Feng didn''t even mind becoming a handyman to enter the Spiritual Race and see Zhao Yufei.


    "Okay. Just wait a little while, and I''ll arrange for your journey to the Spiritual Race!" Elder Yu''s brightened in joy.


    In his view, Zhao Feng admired Zhao Yufei and was willing to do anything to see her. However, Elder Yu couldn''t care less about that. All he wanted to do was send Zhao Feng away and have Han Ning''er forget about him.


    After arranging places to stay for Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er, Elder Yu left.


    Upon going to his own room, Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe to cultivate.


    Many five-colored chestnut-shaped crystals floated in front of Zhao Feng. Pure Five Elements Intent energy saturated the area around Zhao Feng for him to comprehend.


    Zhao Feng had reached Level Four in two of the five elements. Once he raised the other three elements to Level Four, his Five Elements Divine Power would receive a significant boost in power.


    After some time, the five-colored crystals lost their light and became ordinary crystals.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out three fruits. These fruits contained Intent energy and could help Zhao Feng increase his Intent and refine his soul.


    The techniques Zhao Feng cultivated made him particularly powerful in various aspects, but Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was still at the level of a Rank Three True God, and he found it difficult to advance any further. This caused the power of some of his eye-bloodline techniques to fall behind.


    But once Zhao Feng broke into the True God level, his Soul Intent would advance to the strength of whichever rank he managed to reach.


    One day, Zhao Feng met with Han Ning''er.


    Zhao Feng would soon leave the Life Origin Sect for the Spiritual Race. Through all the joys and sorrows they had experienced on their journey to the Ziling Zone, the two had long ago formed a friendship that could not be described with words, so Zhao Feng found himself somewhat unwilling to leave.


    "What kind of person is she to you? Is she worth all that you do for her?" Han Ning''er curiously asked.


    "I promised her that I would find her!" Zhao Feng finally replied after a long time. Zhao Feng really didn''t know how to answer Han Ning''er''s first question.


    "I hope that you meet her soon!" Han Ning''er smiled as she wished him well.


    Zhao Feng nodded and accompanied Han Ning''er in a stroll around the Life Origin Sect.


    The Life Origin Sect was a peak four-star faction of the Ziling Zone, and given that doctors held power in this faction, its status was even more unique. If not for his concern over Zhao Yufei, Zhao Feng wouldn''t have minded staying in this faction to cultivate and slowly advance.


    Several days later, Elder Yu came to find Zhao Feng.


    "You can set off now." Elder Yu warmly smiled.


    After bidding farewell to Han Ning''er, Zhao Feng was accompanied by an elder of the Life Origin Sect to begin his journey to the Spiritual Race.


    As Zhao Feng took his leave of the Life Origin Sect, an azure-clothed man stood near the Life Origin Sect, his face the color of white jade and his bearing graceful and elegant.


    This man was Zhao Feng''s clone, Zhao Hui. Zhao Feng planned to have Zhao Hui stay in the Life Origin Sect to cultivate the Medicine Dao.


    Zhao Feng also felt that there was something off about Elder Yu. Han Ning''er possessed the Eye of Life, but the Life Origin Sect had shown little reaction to Han Ning''er''s arrival. From this, one could see that Elder Yu had not reported this matter to his superiors. Thus, Zhao Feng decided to leave Zhao Hui here to mix into the Life Origin Sect when it began to recruit disciples.


    ¡­


    As one of the four five-star factions of the Ziling Zone, the Spiritual Race controlled one-fourth of the Ziling Zone. It naturally could not be located on the outer edge of the Ziling Zone. Fortunately, Zhao Feng had an elder of the Life Origin Sect with him, so he could travel along the teleportation arrays of four-and-a-half-star and peak four-star factions.


    A little more than half a year later, Zhao Feng arrived at the Spiritual Race.


    He was greeted by the sight of enormous multi-colored mountains of crystal. These crystal mountains were home to lush plant life and blue waters, and the song of birds and the aroma of flowers filled the air. This was a crystalline fairyland.


    "What thick worldly Yuan Qi!"


    Even before he entered the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng sensed through his left eye that the Spiritual Race was awash with thick Yuan Qi. He conjectured that a high-quality God Crystal vein was beneath the territory of the Spiritual Race!


    Of course, the area directly above this God Crystal vein was certain to be a core area of the Spiritual Race that only the core disciples and upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race could enjoy.


    After going through a series of questions, Zhao Feng smoothly arrived at the Spiritual Race. After receiving the various objects a worker disciple should possess, Zhao Feng became a worker disciple of the five-star Spiritual Race.


    "In the Spiritual Race, you''ll be fine as long as you don''t offend a core disciple¡­" the elder of the Life Origin Sect advised Zhao Feng before leaving.


    If Zhao Feng inadvertently offended a core disciple, the one who recommended him would suffer a major disaster.


    The outer edge of the Spiritual Race, Celestial River Valley Region:


    Zhao Feng, wearing the uniform of a worker disciple, came to a crystalline palace.


    "I am a recently-arrived worker disciple, Zhao Feng. Attendant Liu, please assign me a task," Zhao Feng flatly said.


    Besides work, worker disciples could only work.


    "Go to the spirit herb area to the northwest and tend to the spirit herbs of the fourth plot!" After a long while, a voice issued from the palace.


    Zhao Feng received the proper tools, including a basic map of the Spiritual Race''s outer edge.


    Zhao Feng quickly arrived at the fourth plot of land in the spirit herb area. The herbs grown here were all for people at the Mystic Light Realm to use.


    "Eh? This kid is new."


    Zhao Feng''s arrival attracted the notice of the other worker disciples of the spirit herb area. Quite a few disciples shook their heads and sighed as they shot pitying glances at Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, a bushy-browed man strode over to Zhao Feng from the first spirit herb plot.


    "Heh, Peng Zhuo''s come out."


    "Who told him to be a newcomer? Besides, Peng Zhuo''s methods aren''t that rough."


    The nearby worker disciples chatted among themselves as they watched.


    "Kid, you''re a newcomer, right? In the future, I''ll leave my work here to you!" Peng Zhuo went up to Zhao Feng, his large and muscular body two heads taller than Zhao Feng''s.


    "Will Attendant Liu not say anything if I help you?" Zhao Feng curiously asked.


    "Haha, it''s fine as long as the task is completed. His old self won''t care who completed it!" Peng Zhuo heartily laughed as he confidently stared down Zhao Feng.


    "Oh, so it was okay to find other people to finish my tasks!" Zhao Feng nodded. "I leave this plot to you. Tend to it for me."


    With these words, Zhao Feng began to head to a nearby hut. This hut was where the worker disciples stayed.


    "Kid, what did you say just now?" Peng Zhuo''s face twisted in rage as he barked. His body began to exude a ruthless aura.


    Newcomers truly were newcomers. They had no idea how high the heavens were. He would have to teach him to submit.


    "It''s over. This newcomer has no idea how powerful Peng Zhuo is and dared to butt heads with him!"


    "Hah, he''ll learn to be obedient after this lesson!"


    The nearby worker disciples prepared themselves to watch a good show.

 1242 Deterrence

    Chapter 1242 - Deterrence


    "Kid, what did you say just now?" Peng Zhuo''s face twisted in rage as he barked. His body began to exude a ruthless aura.


    Newcomers were newcomers, so they didn''t know just how high the heavens were. He would have to get rough to make this fellow submit.


    "Did you not hear what I said? Is there a problem with your ears?" Zhao Feng suddenly turned and curiously asked.


    These words caused the surrounding worker disciples to laugh and quietly sigh over Zhao Feng''s ignorance. Peng Zhuo was one of the strongest worker disciples in this spirit herb area. His cultivation was at the late stage of the Mystic Light Realm.


    "You''re seeking death!" Enraged, Peng Zhuo circulated his Mystic Light Sacred Power and lunged at Zhao Feng.


    It appeared that Peng Zhuo''s massive body was about to send Zhao Feng flying. The worker disciples could already hear Zhao Feng''s scream and his face wracked in terrible pain.


    But when Peng Zhuo reached Zhao Feng, he bizarrely stopped, and all his power drained away.


    "What''s going on!? Why did Peng Zhuo stop?" The nearby worker disciples yelped in surprise.


    But only Peng Zhuo himself knew what happened. It wasn''t that he wanted to stop, but that he couldn''t move at all. In front of Zhao Feng, his blood and Sacred Power had frozen, and even his soul had been sealed. He was powerless.


    What made him even more afraid was that Zhao Feng had apparently done nothing. He was just looking at him with a faint smile on his face.


    How could this be!? What level of cultivation is this person at? Peng Zhuo mentally howled.


    He suddenly realized that he couldn''t even speak without Zhao Feng''s permission. Peng Zhuo was even more afraid now, and he looked at Zhao Feng with fear and trepidation.


    "I''ll leave all my missions for you to finish. You heard it this time, right?!" Zhao Feng slowly spoke before turning around and entering the wooden hut.


    After Zhao Feng left, Peng Zhuo felt like he had been relieved of a great burden, and he dropped weakly to the ground.


    "What''s going on? Peng Zhuo didn''t attack him!"


    "This newcomer seems to be very strong."


    A few of the worker disciples were somewhat shocked and confused as to why Peng Zhuo had done nothing, but those with shrewder gazes could see that Zhao Feng was not ordinary. They decided that, in the future, they absolutely could not offend Zhao Feng.


    No matter how well a worker disciple performed, they would still need to wait a certain amount of time to become a periphery disciple. Thus, Zhao Feng could not be in too much of a rush.


    Upon entering his room, he began to cultivate. As was his normal habit, Zhao Feng cultivated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body.


    After that, he began to research the spacetime eye-bloodline techniques Spacetime Seal and Spatial Lock Eye.


    Zhao Feng had long ago begun to comprehend the Spatial Lock Eye, but because he had never particularly emphasized it, he had never been able to fully display its power. As for the Spacetime Seal, it was a divine-level high-class eye-bloodline technique, and Zhao Feng didn''t know where to start with cultivating it.


    While comprehending these two eye-bloodline techniques, Zhao Feng also began to comprehend Spacetime Intent. Zhao Feng had long ago reached Level Four in Space Intent, but the more profound Time Intent was still at Level One and still some ways from reaching Level Two.


    A month later, Zhao Feng emerged from his hut.


    "This¡­ I''ve already done as you ordered and took very good care of this plot!" Peng Zhuo rushed up to Zhao Feng and respectfully said.


    The nearby worker disciples were all dumbfounded by this sight. They had never imagined that Peng Zhuo would actually do as Zhao Feng said and take very good care of this spirit herb plot. On top of that, when Zhao Feng came out, Peng Zhuo acted like an obedient little brother reporting the situation to his big brother.


    "Not bad." With these simple words, Zhao Feng left.


    The worker disciples had to report the state of their assignments to their supervisor every month and would receive a reward based on the level of completion.


    "Mm, not bad!" Attendant Liu within the crystalline palace took out some rewards and gave them to Zhao Feng.


    He knew the situation of the spirit herb area like the back of his hand. This time, Attendant Liu inspected Zhao Feng a little more carefully. However, he soon discovered that he couldn''t see through Zhao Feng at all.


    "Attendant Liu, I would like a little more work!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    Zhao Feng took four tasks from Attendant Liu.


    Upon returning to the spirit herb area, Zhao Feng gave his rewards to Peng Zhuo. These rewards consisted of cultivation resources and Yuan Crystals useful to those at the Mystic Light Realm. They were nothing but trash to Zhao Feng, and putting them in his Interspatial Dimension would just take up space.


    Zhao Feng then went to the areas where his four other tasks were. Zhao Feng would randomly find a worker disciple in the area and then release a sliver of pressure to make the disciple submit and be willing to work for him.


    After doing all this, Zhao Feng returned to his hut and began to cultivate.


    Zhao Feng had no idea that his conduct had incurred the public indignation of all the worker disciples in the nearby areas. Secretly, these worker disciples gathered together and were planning to deal with Zhao Feng. In their view, Zhao Feng was acting far too tyrannically for a new worker disciple.


    Just as they were secretly discussing this matter, a cry of alarm came from outside; "Shi Weinan has come back!"


    It wasn''t long before a well-proportioned man with a handsome face and cold eyes walked in.


    The worker disciples immediately stopped talking, their faces twisted in shock. This Shi Weinan was the number one worker disciple of this Celestial River Valley Region. His cultivation was at the Demigod level.


    It was said that he had come to the Spiritual Race as a worker disciple so that he could eventually become a periphery disciple through his good performance. A while ago, he had left with a periphery disciple to complete an outside mission. He had just come back, so he would probably leave the ranks of the worker disciples soon and become a periphery disciple of the Spiritual Race.


    "Big Bro Shi, you''ve finally returned. There''s a new worker disciple who''s been acting way too overboard¡­" Peng Zhuo immediately stepped forward, embellishing the events before explaining what Zhao Feng had done.


    "Does this person not have any regard for me?" Shi Weinan''s eyes focused, and the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees.


    Seeing that Shi Weinan had decided to act, the other worker disciples all grew excited.


    Every day, someone was keeping an eye on Zhao Feng''s room. As long as he came out, the others would be immediately informed.


    However, Zhao Feng was thinking about nothing else except handing over his completed assignments after one month so that he could get more tasks. As a result, Zhao Feng spent this entire month in cultivation.


    One month later, several dozen worker disciples gathered in front of Zhao Feng''s hut. The one leading them was none other than Shi Weinan. The worker disciples around him were all of the outstanding worker disciples from the surrounding area. Peng Zhuo was among them.


    "It''s been a month. Is this kid still not coming out!?"


    "Maybe he knows we want to deal with him and is intentionally hiding?"


    In the back, several worker disciples who came to see the show were chatting.


    "Zhao Feng, hurry and come out. The worker disciples need to report on their missions to Attendant Liu every month!" Shi Weinan suddenly shouted.


    This voice was suffused with a formidable Soul Power. Zhao Feng''s hut immediately began to creak.


    At the same, the door to the hut was pushed open.


    "This is Zhao Feng?" Shi Weinan stared with cold eyes at Zhao Feng, a cold sneer on his lips.


    To everyone else''s surprise, Zhao Feng strode toward Shi Weinan with an indifferent expression on his face.


    Shi Weinan didn''t notice anything at the start, but as Zhao Feng approached, his expression rapidly began to shift. By the time Zhao Feng arrived in front of him, his entire body had been sealed. He could not move or speak.


    The worker disciples behind Shi Weinan were in the same situation. All of them were stone statues with the most flabbergasted and astonished eyes.


    Peng Zhuo was in a terrible state of mind. He had thought that, with all these people, including Shi Weinan, they would have been able to deal with Zhao Feng. But the result was the same; in front of Zhao Feng, all of them lost control over their bodies.


    How could this be? Shi Weinan was absolutely dumbfounded. He struggled with all his power, but he realized that it was all futile.


    "If there''s a next time, I''ll kill you all!" Zhao Feng scanned the crowd as he coldly spat out these words. His tone was light, but his words were drills of ice that bore into everyone''s hearts.


    Zhao Feng didn''t want to expose himself too much, but if he didn''t give these people a harsh lesson, they would keep coming back to make trouble for him. Thus, Zhao Feng needed to thoroughly intimidate them.


    Zhao Feng then left to report to Attendant Liu.


    "This Zhao Feng is very strong!"


    "If he''s this strong, why is he a worker disciple!?"


    After Zhao Feng was gone, everyone plopped to the ground and began to whisper to each other.


    When Zhao Feng came to Attendant Liu''s palace this time, Attendant Liu was already standing outside as if he had been waiting for him.


    "You should be a powerful Quasi-God. Why did you want to become a worker disciple for the Spiritual Race?" Attendant Liu asked with a grim expression.


    "I want to enter the Spiritual Race, and I can only do that by being a worker disciple," Zhao Feng frankly said.


    He didn''t want to offend this Attendant Liu yet, as this man''s recommendation was required for him to become a periphery disciple.


    "If your performance remains good, you can become a periphery disciple in less than half a year." Attendant Liu gave a slight nod, a hint of pride in his eyes.


    Such a talented Quasi-God was willing to become a worker disciple all for the sake of becoming a periphery disciple of the Spiritual Race. As a member of the Spiritual Race, Attendant Liu was bursting with pride.


    "I would also like to ask Attendant Liu about a certain person," Zhao Feng said.


    "Oh?" Attendant Liu''s expression froze. It seemed like this was Zhao Feng''s true goal.


    "I wish to know about the Spiritual Race''s Zhao Yufei!" Zhao Feng directly said.


    After a moment of shock, Attendant Liu seemed to think of something and bellowed in laughter.


    "You didn''t come to be a worker disciple for the Spiritual Race because of Zhao Yufei, right?" Attendant Liu chuckled as he asked.


    Among the women of the Spiritual Race, Zhao Yufei was number one in both looks and talent. She was the goddess that dwelled in the hearts of all the worker disciples and periphery disciples, and she had countless suitors in the Ziling Zone.


    At this moment, Attendant Liu took Zhao Feng to be another of Zhao Yufei''s admirers, perhaps even one of those seeking her hand. But even so, Attendant Liu still somewhat admired Zhao Feng for not even minding becoming a worker disciple just to get close to Zhao Yufei.


    "I suppose you can say that," Zhao Feng ambiguously replied.


    Attendant Liu smiled and indicated that he understood. Just who wouldn''t love a beauty like Zhao Yufei? And besides, it was precisely young people like Zhao Feng being so impulsive that they were capable of anything.


    Afterward, Attendant Liu told Zhao Feng everything he knew about Zhao Yufei. Zhao Feng earnestly listened and finally gained a little understanding of Zhao Yufei''s circumstances in the Spiritual Race.


    After chatting for a while, Zhao Feng took his leave.


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Yufei would have such a high status in the Spiritual Race." Zhao Feng chuckled. It appeared that he had been deeply underestimating the rarity of Zhao Yufei''s Spiritual Race bloodline.


    The Spiritual Race''s faction had a vast population, but the members of the actual Spiritual Race were extremely rare. Ninety-nine percent of the Spiritual Race''s population was made up of members recruited from the outside and subordinate factions.


    Just when Zhao Feng was ready to return to his hut, his God''s Spiritual Eye suddenly noticed a hint of bloodline energy.


    "The energy of the Spiritual Race''s bloodline!" With a stunned expression on his face, Zhao Feng began to fly off in the direction of that energy.

 1243 Rise to Fame

    Chapter 1243 - Rise to Fame


    After spending some time with Zhao Yufei, Zhao Feng could remember what the energy of the Spiritual Race bloodline felt like. The moment Zhao Feng sensed this energy, the first thought that came to him was: could this person be Zhao Yufei?


    If this was the Continent Zone, Zhao Feng could be certain that this person was Zhao Yufei, but this was the Spiritual Race; the number of people with the Spiritual Race''s bloodline was not small.


    As he followed this energy, Zhao Feng quickly left the Celestial River Valley Region. Gradually, a woman with a sparkling body like that of white glass appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    This woman had a pure and simple beauty, and the nature of her Spiritual Race bloodline made her seem both noble and gorgeous. But from her pouting lips and her rising brows, he could tell that she was clearly in a foul mood.


    Several young men from different races stood around this young woman.


    "Qingying, where do you want to go? I''ll take you there." A bewitchingly beautiful young man with a gentle face waved his white jade fan and smiled.


    Zhao Feng viewed this party from a distance.


    This woman clearly possessed the bloodline of the Spiritual Race while the youths around her possessed unusual cultivation. They were probably the Quasi-God geniuses of the Spiritual Race''s subordinate factions.


    Given that they could communicate with this girl, these people would probably be able to communicate with Zhao Yufei too.


    As for Zhao Feng''s status, it was too lowly, so these people were not guaranteed to pay any attention to him. However, if these people were willing to help him deliver a letter, Zhao Feng might be able to directly meet with Zhao Yufei.


    As Zhao Feng was thinking to himself, the Spiritual Race girl noticed Zhao Feng and gave a smug smile. In her view, Zhao Feng had been enchanted by her appearance and was staring at her in a daze. In addition, although Zhao Feng wore the uniform of a worker disciple, his appearance and bearing were extremely outstanding, not one bit inferior to the youths around her.


    "You, come over here!" Wei Qingying suddenly stopped and pointed at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was slightly stunned. He was just thinking about whether he should go up to these people and ask if they could take a letter to Zhao Yufei, but this woman of the Spiritual Race had asked for him instead.


    "Qingying, why do you want to talk that person?" The bewitching young man coldly glared at Zhao Feng as he spoke.


    Zhao Feng immediately flew over to Wei Qingying.


    "Who do you believe is the most beautiful person in all of the Spiritual Race?" Wei Qingying put on a coquettish expression and a charming attitude as she softly asked.


    The young prodigies around her understood what Wei Qingying was after. Before Zhao Yufei had come to the Spiritual Race, the number one beauty of the Spiritual Race was Quasi-God Luo Yu, and Wei Qingying was the person who stood beside Quasi-God Luo Yu.


    But ever since Zhao Yufei had arrived at the Spiritual Race, the constant stimulation of her thick bloodline had caused her cultivation talents to be fully unleashed. With her already fairy-like appearance, Zhao Yufei gradually supplanted Quasi-God Luo Yu as the goddess that dwelled in the hearts of all the men of the Spiritual Race.


    However, since Zhao Yufei had come from outside the zone, the people belonging to the Spiritual Race of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods felt a mental repulsion toward her. Moreover, Zhao Yufei''s superb talent and gorgeous appearance had made her the envy of all the other women of the Spiritual Race.


    Just this morning, Wei Qingying had been talking behind Zhao Yufei''s back when she ran into the person in question and received a stern lesson.


    "This¡­" Zhao Feng paused for a few moments. He never would have imagined that this girl of the Spiritual Race called him over just to ask this question.


    "Hurry and speak!" the bewitching man next to Wei Qingying coldly barked.


    Everyone knew that Wei Qingying was one of Quasi-God Luo Yu''s followers. This servant could say any name except that of Zhao Yufei, but if he wanted to form a good relationship with Wei Qingying, it would be best if he said that Quasi-God Luo Yu was the most beautiful.


    "Of course, Miss is the most beautiful!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    Zhao Feng knew barely anything about the Spiritual Race. The only woman he knew was Zhao Yufei. However, Zhao Feng could tell that this Spiritual Race woman was currently rather peeved, so this response would probably cater to her mood.


    "Hehe!" Wei Qingying immediately gave a soft giggle.


    She had originally believed that this servant would say that Quasi-God Luo Yu was the most beautiful, but he said that it was her. Although she knew that Zhao Feng wasn''t telling the truth, she was still quite happy to hear these words.


    The young prodigies around her looked at Zhao Feng with disdain. Even if Zhao Feng regarded Zhao Yufei as his goddess, he only needed to mention Quasi-God Luo Yu to avoid offending Wei Qingying. They all found Zhao Feng rather shameless for saying that the most beautiful was Wei Qingying.


    "Mm. Your cultivation is decent, and your performance is good. After a little while, I''ll have them promote you to periphery disciple!" Wei Qingying''s mood improved, and she immediately found this young man rather pleasant to look at.


    As she inspected Zhao Feng, she felt that he was more handsome than any youth she had seen before. His indifferent and proud face, his naturally gorgeous golden hair¡­ all of his features made her eyes shine.


    The look on Wei Qingying''s face made all the other youths coldly glare at Zhao Feng. They were all geniuses from subordinate or vassal factions of the Spiritual Race, and they knew that they could never reach as high as the prodigious daughters of the Spiritual Race like Zhao Yufei or Quasi-God Luo Yu. Thus, they placed their sights on the women of the Spiritual Race with somewhat lesser talent. After all, the Spiritual Race was ranked 19th among the ancient races, so joining together with this bloodline would advance their own cultivation and bless their descendants as well.


    "Many thanks!" Zhao Feng was somewhat delighted. Even if he performed well, he would need to wait some time to be promoted to periphery disciple, but in her good mood, Wei Qingying promised that she would have Zhao Feng directly promoted to periphery disciple.


    "Qingying, where do you want to go? I''ll come with you!" A young prodigy who saw that Wei Qingying''s mood had improved immediately stepped forward to ingratiate himself to her.


    "Okay!" Wei Qingying was now much more in a mood for a stroll.


    "Please wait," Zhao Feng suddenly spoke.


    Wei Qingying was in a good mood and had a good impression of Zhao Feng. Perhaps if Zhao Feng asked her to deliver a letter, she would agree. Thus, Zhao Feng called out to Wei Qingying.


    "Servant, why did you speak!?" The bewitching young man next to Wei Qingying immediately snapped at Zhao Feng. He had long ago grown sick of seeing of Zhao Feng. A mere worker disciple dared to speak with the target of his affections?


    "What do you want?" Wei Qingying was willing to disregard Zhao Feng''s lowly status for a moment.


    "I was wondering if Miss was willing to help me deliver a letter to Zhao Yufei." Zhao Feng ignored those youths and directly voiced his request.


    But once he made his request, Wei Qingying and the young prodigies around her immediately fell silent. After a long while, a youth''s cold laugh broke the silence. The other youths also began to scornfully laugh as well as look pityingly upon Zhao Feng.


    Oh no. Zhao Feng felt that something was wrong. The expressions on their faces as well as Wei Qingying''s were all wrong.


    "You want to communicate with Zhao Yufei?" Wei Qingying suddenly revealed a bizarrely terrifying smile.


    Before Zhao Feng could say anything, Wei Qingying added, "It seems like you''re also after Zhao Yufei, but you ¨C a mere worker disciple ¨C want to get close to Zhao Yufei?


    "Rest easy. I will tell Zhao Yufei that there''s a worker disciple of the Spiritual Race that is seeking her hand!"


    Wei Qingying''s face was cold as she gave a bewitching smile.


    Whoosh!


    Wei Qingying immediately left.


    "Haha, kid, you truly don''t know the difference between life and death!" A youth gloated.


    "Although your cultivation isn''t bad, you won''t be able to become a periphery disciple for the rest of your life, much less meet with Zhao Yufei!" The bewitching youth with the feather fan threw down these words before following Wei Qingying.


    Zhao Feng now knew that Wei Qingying probably did not have a very good relationship with Zhao Yufei. She probably wanted to use this matter to ridicule Zhao Yufei.


    But if Zhao Yufei noticed him because of this, that would be a fine result.


    Zhao Feng had no idea that Zhao Yufei had far too many pursuers and suitors in the Ziling Zone, so many that they couldn''t be counted. But Zhao Yufei herself seemed to already have someone in mind and paid no attention to these pursuers.


    After returning to Celestial River Valley, Zhao Feng gave the missions Attendant Liu had given him to the other worker disciples. Zhao Feng was now the boss of the worker disciples of Celestial River Valley, so he naturally had a bunch of underlings willing to do his missions for him.


    Zhao Feng himself returned to his hut to cultivate. He had no idea that, by the next day, the news that he admired Zhao Yufei had been spread throughout the entire Spiritual Race.


    Those true prodigies who were after Zhao Yufei only gave scornful smiles and treated the entire matter as a joke. But the periphery disciples of the Spiritual Race, as well as the worker disciples of other regions, came to see what sort of person Zhao Feng was.


    One day, while Zhao Feng was cultivating in the Spacetime Robe, he sensed several powerful Spiritual Senses, and even Divine Senses, brazenly scanning his hut.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng left the Spacetime Robe. Divine Sense was used by Quasi-Gods and True Gods, and these naturally could not be worker disciples.


    "Why have so many people come?" Zhao Feng was rather astonished.


    The worker disciples received no protection from the Spiritual Race. No one would care if they were bothered, even if they were in the middle of cultivating. Even Quasi-Gods had come to disturb Zhao Feng this time.


    Zhao Feng left his hut.


    "Zhao Feng''s come out!" someone immediately called out the moment Zhao Feng emerged.


    In a flash, all the nearby worker disciples turned to look at Zhao Feng. At the same time, several proud youths appeared in the sky. These people all had unusual bloodlines and powerful cultivations.


    "This was the person who asked Wei Qingying to help him get in touch with Zhao Yufei?" a muscular and bulky man chatted with someone next to him.


    "Mm, he looks rather decent, and his cultivation is pretty good too. He''s just little lacking in intelligence. A mere worker disciple dares to lust for Zhao Yufei?" The green-skinned youth next to him was rather rude, his words cold and scornful.


    Standing next to Shi Weinan was a long-faced youth who wore the uniform of an outer sect disciple.


    "It''s him¡­" Shi Weinan whispered in that person''s ear.


    "Hmph, a toad craving swan flesh. I''ll give you a lesson that you won''t forget!" The long-faced youth strode toward Zhao Feng. Shi Weinan had requested that he teach a lesson to a worker disciple, and this person that Shi Weinan wanted dealt with just so happened to be that person who had recently become famous as a worker disciple who was after Zhao Yufei. This instantly drew the long-faced youth''s interest.

 1244 Periphery Disciple

    Chapter 1244 - Periphery Disciple


    Shi Weinan stared gloomily at Zhao Feng. Earlier, Zhao Feng caused him to lose all face before many worker disciples. After that moment, Shi Weinan began to use his connections with the periphery disciples so that a periphery disciple would come and teach Zhao Feng a lesson. By doing this, he could recover his dignity and also intimidate the worker disciples.


    The long-faced youth was a periphery disciple of the Spiritual Race with the cultivation of a Rank One Quasi-God. The other periphery disciples in the area who had come to see Zhao Feng for themselves saw that the long-faced youth was going to move, so they ceased chattering and prepared to watch the show.


    "Today, I''ll have you experience the power of a periphery disciple!" The long-faced youth circulated his Divine Power and transformed into a white light that instantly appeared next to Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    As the youth punched, a fist of white Divine Power exploded forth.


    "Look, that''s Divine Power!"


    "A periphery disciple¡­ how strong!"


    The worker disciples couldn''t hide the admiration and respect in their eyes as they watched.


    Pop! Hisss!


    Just when the long-faced youth''s fist was about to hit Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng''s entire body began to crackle with electricity as he shot to the side.


    "Eh? The kid managed the dodge it!" The muscular man was somewhat surprised.


    "Heh, that kid has to have some strength if he can dominate the worker disciples!" The green-skinned man next to him gave a sinister chuckle.


    In his view, Zhao Feng was probably a Rank One Quasi-God. Unless he possessed some profound movement technique, he would never be able to dodge the long-faced youth''s attack.


    The long-faced youth, seeing that his first attack did not succeed, immediately continued his assault. Explosions rang out as white rays of light gouged out shallow pits in the crystalline ground.


    But none of these attacks were able to hit Zhao Feng.


    "Kid, do you only know how to dodge!?" the long-faced youth furiously barked.


    As a periphery disciple, he challenged a worker disciple. If he wasn''t able to do anything to this worker disciple, what face would he still have to continue standing among the ranks of the periphery disciples?


    "You want me to stop dodging? Alright." Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    Rumble!


    With a boom, Zhao Feng rushed to the back of the long-faced youth and punched. Caught off guard, the youth was sent flying dozens of feet before crashing into the ground.


    The surroundings instantly fell silent. No one had expected for Zhao Feng to defeat this periphery disciple in a single blow.


    "You¡­ you sneak-attacked me!" The long-faced youth went red in the face as he shouted.


    It was far too shameful to be defeated in a single blow by a worker disciple, and this was the only excuse he could find.


    "That''s right, Zhao Feng sneak-attacked him. Otherwise, how could he defeat a periphery disciple!?" Shi Weinan immediately agreed.


    Everyone could see that Zhao Feng was too fast, allowing him to immediately get behind the long-faced youth and defeat him. The crowd gradually came around to this reason.


    "Brother Chen, Brother Zhao, let''s work together and capture this shameless fellow!" Seeing that the crowd believed his excuse, the long-faced youth immediately requested help from the other periphery disciples.


    Whether or not Zhao Feng had actually sneak-attacked him, the power of that fist was tremendous, so the long-faced youth judged that he was no match for Zhao Feng. However, he needed to defeat Zhao Feng today, no matter what methods he had to resort to!


    "Okay." The green-skinned youth agreed and charged in.


    "Hmph! A worker disciple dares to act so brazenly!?" The muscular youth threw his massive girth at Zhao Feng as he shouted.


    The two of them were already sick of looking at Zhao Feng. Now that Zhao Feng had defeated the long-faced youth ¨C a periphery disciple just like them ¨C they were even more displeased.


    "Three periphery disciples are attacking together!" a worker disciple yelped in surprise.


    No matter how strong Zhao Feng was, he was probably finished this time.


    Some of the nearby periphery disciples felt this sight to be rather shameful and lowered their heads in preparation to leave. Three periphery disciples attacking one worker disciple was simply too shameful. In their view, Zhao Feng''s defeat was certain, and there was no need to keep watching.


    But before they could leave, they heard shrill screams ringing in their ears. To their shock and surprise, these screams seemed to belong to their fellow periphery disciples.


    What they saw was Zhao Feng traveling between the trio like a lightning bolt.


    Bang!


    With a single punch, the long-faced youth was sent flying backward again. Another punch had the muscular youth eating dirt. The final punch flew forth!


    The three periphery disciples were all knocked to the ground.


    At this moment, all the surrounding spectators were frozen to their spots in shock. Even the three periphery disciples that Zhao Feng just defeated had incredulous looks on their faces.


    Two of them were Rank One Quasi-Gods and the other was a Rank One True God. Anyone who could so easily defeat them had to be at least a Rank Two, but how could Zhao Feng possibly be that strong?


    While their minds were still reeling, Zhao Feng began to walk toward the long-faced youth.


    "No¡­"


    The long-faced youth was ready to say something when Zhao Feng kicked him. He wanted to block, but he was helpless; a weight as heavy as a mountain sent his body flying hundreds of feet.


    Zhao Feng then went to the muscular youth and kicked him as well, breaking many of the bones in his body.


    Finally, Zhao Feng came to the green-skinned youth.


    "You would dare? You would dare injure me? Do you know who my cousin- ah!" The green-skinned spat out a vicious threat at Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng stomped on his body.


    After this stomp, Zhao Feng began to kick him. Only when all the venomous hatred in the youth''s eyes vanished did Zhao Feng finally stop.


    "You can all scram now!" Zhao Feng coldly barked.


    The worker disciples all scattered, and the periphery disciples left. The area around Zhao Feng''s hut was finally quiet.


    "This is no good. As a worker disciple, I have no privacy!" Zhao Feng''s eyes became pensive.


    While he was cultivating, these Quasi-Gods and True Gods brazenly scanned his hut with their Divine Senses. Someone with a stronger Divine Sense could even discover the secret of Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Robe.


    "I guess I''ll have to use a few tricks," Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    Zhao Feng headed for Attendant Liu''s palace.


    Attendant Liu was standing in front of the entrance, his expression stern and solemn as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    "You shouldn''t have injured the periphery disciples, particularly that Zhao Hongyi!" Attendant Liu coldly rebuked.


    Although Zhao Feng had put on an astonishing performance, the periphery disciples he injured would definitely be coming back. The Zhao Hongyi that Attendant Liu referred to was the green-skinned youth, and he had an older cousin who was an outstanding inner disciple.


    The highest status disciples in the Spiritual Race were the core disciples. These people either had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race or were extremely outstanding geniuses. Beneath them were the inner disciples. Although the inner disciples were inferior to the core disciples in status, some of them were actually even stronger than the core disciples.


    Attendant Liu originally planned to promote Zhao Feng to periphery disciple after a few months, but this seemed impossible now.


    "Haaa, I was helpless. If I didn''t defeat them, those three might have killed me!" Zhao Feng put on a helpless expression, but as his golden eye locked onto Attendant Liu, a violet-gold mist appeared in it.


    Attendant Liu began to appear confused, and when he looked at Zhao Feng again, he appeared to be a little more empathetic.


    "Attendant Liu, I want to become a periphery disciple. Only then can I have the strength to protect myself and avoid getting into even more trouble."


    Zhao Feng continued to stare at Attendant Liu as the illusory mist in his left eye grew even thicker. A profound Soul energy began to seep into Attendant Liu''s mind.


    Attendant Liu was just the manager of these worker disciples and was only a Rank Two True God. He was incapable of resisting Zhao Feng''s illusion arts.


    Of course, Zhao Feng was not directly controlling Attendant Liu, only subtly guiding him so as to avoid being discovered if someone decided to investigate this matter.


    "Mm, that''s all that can be done." Attendant Liu nodded.


    "Many thanks, Attendant Liu!" Zhao Feng smiled and returned to his own hut.


    Just as predicted, the news of Zhao Feng defeating the periphery disciples was soon spread throughout the Spiritual Race. A few periphery disciples wanted to immediately go and kill Zhao Feng, but when they learned that Zhao Feng had easily defeated three periphery disciples, they fell silent. Perhaps only the top three periphery disciples would be able to deal with Zhao Feng.


    It wasn''t long before an even more astonishing piece of news spread through the periphery disciples.


    "Zhao Feng was promoted to periphery disciple this month!"


    Many periphery disciples had been discussing how to deal with Zhao Feng because the Spiritual Race didn''t care about the life or death of a single worker disciple. But now, Zhao Feng was also a periphery disciple!


    As this matter drew more and more discussion, it finally attracted the notice of many inner disciples.


    More than seventy percent of the male inner disciples were hoping to court Zhao Yufei. A person who was also after Zhao Yufei became a worker disciple to do so, and he even managed to work his way to becoming a periphery disciple, so he would naturally attract their interest.


    One day, Zhao Feng moved into a residence meant for a periphery disciple.


    Periphery disciples were given a palace hall for their own use. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi of this place was twice as concentrated as it was in the area inhabited by worker disciples.


    Only by becoming a periphery disciple could one truly be considered to have entered the Spiritual Race and thus obtain its protection.


    "This person was the one who defeated three periphery disciples!"


    "He must be a genius of some other faction of the Ziling Zone. For the sake of pursuing Zhao Yufei, he was willing to become a worker disciple! It''s not strange at all for someone of his strength to become a periphery disciple!"


    Some nearby periphery disciples began to comment on and criticize Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng ignored these people and headed into his palace.


    At this moment, cries of surprise and shock came from in front of Zhao Feng.


    "Big Bro Pan Hao!"


    "Big Bro Pan Hao, how did you find the time to come here?"


    Many periphery disciples began to respectfully greet a certain youth.


    Zhao Feng could see that this youth was wearing the uniform of an inner disciple. His nose was rather flat, his eyes and mouth were rather large, and his skin had an oily sheen. Overall, he appeared rather comical.


    This inner disciple called Pan Hao was currently looking right at Zhao Feng as he slowly walked over.


    "You should be Zhao Feng, right?" Pan Hao gave Zhao Feng an interested look as he bluntly asked.


    I just became a periphery disciple, and an inner disciple is already paying me a visit? Zhao Feng was rather surprised.


    Inner disciples had an extremely high status in the Spiritual Race, and Zhao Feng only just became a periphery disciple, so he didn''t want to make too big of a ruckus.


    But if an inner disciple really wanted to try something with him, Zhao Feng would not be polite.


    "Haha, kid, you''re really interesting. Bold and crazy! This Pan Hao admits defeat!" Pan Hao chortled, his eyes shining with praise.


    Zhao Feng''s face froze, the situation not turning out as he predicted.


    The nearby periphery disciples had also believed that Pan Hao came to make trouble for Zhao Feng, but his words left their minds reeling.


    Pan Hao followed Zhao Feng into Zhao Feng''s new residence.


    "Although I admire your daring and courage, you don''t have a chance with Zhao Yufei," Pan Hao bluntly stated, his tone indicating that he wasn''t joking and was quite serious.


    "You have no idea; almost all the outstanding inner disciples are after Zhao Yufei. Of course, they also don''t have a chance. The only people with even a hope of being with Zhao Yufei are the core disciples. That''s right ¨C I heard you crippled Zhao Hongyi. His older cousin is one of the most outstanding inner disciples, a Rank Four True God¡­"

 1244 Peripheral Disciple

    Chapter 1244 - Peripheral Disciple


    Shi Weinan stared gloomily at Zhao Feng. Earlier, Zhao Feng caused him to lose all face before many worker disciples. After that moment, Shi Weinan began to use his connections with the peripheral disciples so that a peripheral disciple would come and teach Zhao Feng a lesson. By doing this, he could recover his dignity and also intimidate the worker disciples.


    The long-faced youth was a peripheral disciple of the Spiritual Race with the cultivation of a Rank One Quasi-God. The other peripheral disciples in the area who had come to see Zhao Feng for themselves saw that the long-faced youth was going to move, so they ceased chattering and prepared to watch the show.


    "Today, I''ll have you experience the power of a peripheral disciple!" The long-faced youth circulated his Divine Power and transformed into a white light that instantly appeared next to Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    As the youth punched, a fist of white Divine Power exploded forth.


    "Look, that''s Divine Power!"


    "A peripheral disciple¡­ how strong!"


    The worker disciples couldn''t hide the admiration and respect in their eyes as they watched.


    Pop! Hisss!


    Just when the long-faced youth''s fist was about to hit Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng''s entire body began to crackle with electricity as he shot to the side.


    "Eh? The kid managed the dodge it!" The muscular man was somewhat surprised.


    "Heh, that kid has to have some strength if he can dominate the worker disciples!" The green-skinned man next to him gave a sinister chuckle.


    In his view, Zhao Feng was probably a Rank One Quasi-God. Unless he possessed some profound movement technique, he would never be able to dodge the long-faced youth''s attack.


    The long-faced youth, seeing that his first attack did not succeed, immediately continued his assault. Explosions rang out as white rays of light gouged out shallow pits in the crystalline ground.


    But none of these attacks were able to hit Zhao Feng.


    "Kid, do you only know how to dodge!?" the long-faced youth furiously barked.


    As a peripheral disciple, he challenged a worker disciple. If he wasn''t able to do anything to this worker disciple, what face would he still have to continue standing among the ranks of the peripheral disciples?


    "You want me to stop dodging? Alright." Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    Rumble!


    With a boom, Zhao Feng rushed to the back of the long-faced youth and punched. Caught off guard, the youth was sent flying dozens of feet before crashing into the ground.


    The surroundings instantly fell silent. No one had expected for Zhao Feng to defeat this peripheral disciple in a single blow.


    "You¡­ you sneak-attacked me!" The long-faced youth went red in the face as he shouted.


    It was far too shameful to be defeated in a single blow by a worker disciple, and this was the only excuse he could find.


    "That''s right, Zhao Feng sneak-attacked him. Otherwise, how could he defeat a peripheral disciple!?" Shi Weinan immediately agreed.


    Everyone could see that Zhao Feng was too fast, allowing him to immediately get behind the long-faced youth and defeat him. The crowd gradually came around to this reason.


    "Brother Chen, Brother Zhao, let''s work together and capture this shameless fellow!" Seeing that the crowd believed his excuse, the long-faced youth immediately requested help from the other peripheral disciples.


    Whether or not Zhao Feng had actually sneak-attacked him, the power of that fist was tremendous, so the long-faced youth judged that he was no match for Zhao Feng. However, he needed to defeat Zhao Feng today, no matter what methods he had to resort to!


    "Okay." The green-skinned youth agreed and charged in.


    "Hmph! A worker disciple dares to act so brazenly!?" The muscular youth threw his massive girth at Zhao Feng as he shouted.


    The two of them were already sick of looking at Zhao Feng. Now that Zhao Feng had defeated the long-faced youth ¨C a peripheral disciple just like them ¨C they were even more displeased.


    "Three peripheral disciples are attacking together!" a worker disciple yelped in surprise.


    No matter how strong Zhao Feng was, he was probably finished this time.


    Some of the nearby peripheral disciples felt this sight to be rather shameful and lowered their heads in preparation to leave. Three peripheral disciples attacking one worker disciple was simply too shameful. In their view, Zhao Feng''s defeat was certain, and there was no need to keep watching.


    But before they could leave, they heard shrill screams ringing in their ears. To their shock and surprise, these screams seemed to belong to their fellow peripheral disciples.


    What they saw was Zhao Feng traveling between the trio like a lightning bolt.


    Bang!


    With a single punch, the long-faced youth was sent flying backward again. Another punch had the muscular youth eating dirt. The final punch flew forth!


    The three peripheral disciples were all knocked to the ground.


    At this moment, all the surrounding spectators were frozen to their spots in shock. Even the three peripheral disciples that Zhao Feng just defeated had incredulous looks on their faces.


    Two of them were Rank One Quasi-Gods and the other was a Rank One True God. Anyone who could so easily defeat them had to be at least a Rank Two, but how could Zhao Feng possibly be that strong?


    While their minds were still reeling, Zhao Feng began to walk toward the long-faced youth.


    "No¡­"


    The long-faced youth was ready to say something when Zhao Feng kicked him. He wanted to block, but he was helpless; a weight as heavy as a mountain sent his body flying hundreds of feet.


    Zhao Feng then went to the muscular youth and kicked him as well, breaking many of the bones in his body.


    Finally, Zhao Feng came to the green-skinned youth.


    "You would dare? You would dare injure me? Do you know who my cousin- ah!" The green-skinned spat out a vicious threat at Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng stomped on his body.


    After this stomp, Zhao Feng began to kick him. Only when all the venomous hatred in the youth''s eyes vanished did Zhao Feng finally stop.


    "You can all scram now!" Zhao Feng coldly barked.


    The worker disciples all scattered, and the peripheral disciples left. The area around Zhao Feng''s hut was finally quiet.


    "This is no good. As a worker disciple, I have no privacy!" Zhao Feng''s eyes became pensive.


    While he was cultivating, these Quasi-Gods and True Gods brazenly scanned his hut with their Divine Senses. Someone with a stronger Divine Sense could even discover the secret of Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Robe.


    "I guess I''ll have to use a few tricks," Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    Zhao Feng headed for Attendant Liu''s palace.


    Attendant Liu was standing in front of the entrance, his expression stern and solemn as he looked at Zhao Feng.


    "You shouldn''t have injured the peripheral disciples, particularly that Zhao Hongyi!" Attendant Liu coldly rebuked.


    Although Zhao Feng had put on an astonishing performance, the peripheral disciples he injured would definitely be coming back. The Zhao Hongyi that Attendant Liu referred to was the green-skinned youth, and he had an older cousin who was an outstanding inner disciple.

    Attendant Liu originally planned to promote Zhao Feng to peripheral disciple after a few months, but this seemed impossible now.


    "Haaa, I was helpless. If I didn''t defeat them, those three might have killed me!" Zhao Feng put on a helpless expression, but as his golden eye locked onto Attendant Liu, a violet-gold mist appeared in it.


    Attendant Liu began to appear confused, and when he looked at Zhao Feng again, he appeared to be a little more empathetic.


    "Attendant Liu, I want to become a peripheral disciple. Only then can I have the strength to protect myself and avoid getting into even more trouble."


    Zhao Feng continued to stare at Attendant Liu as the illusory mist in his left eye grew even thicker. A profound Soul energy began to seep into Attendant Liu''s mind.


    Attendant Liu was just the manager of these worker disciples and was only a Rank Two True God. He was incapable of resisting Zhao Feng''s illusion arts.


    Of course, Zhao Feng was not directly controlling Attendant Liu, only subtly guiding him so as to avoid being discovered if someone decided to investigate this matter.


    "Mm, that''s all that can be done." Attendant Liu nodded.


    "Many thanks, Attendant Liu!" Zhao Feng smiled and returned to his own hut.


    Just as predicted, the news of Zhao Feng defeating the peripheral disciples was soon spread throughout the Spiritual Race.

    Some nearby peripheral disciples began to comment on and criticize Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng ignored these people and headed into his palace.


    At this moment, cries of surprise and shock came from in front of Zhao Feng.


    "Big Bro Pan Hao!"


    "Big Bro Pan Hao, how did you find the time to come here?"


    Many peripheral disciples began to respectfully greet a certain youth.


    Zhao Feng could see that this youth was wearing the uniform of an inner disciple. His nose was rather flat, his eyes and mouth were rather large, and his skin had an oily sheen. Overall, he appeared rather comical.


    This inner disciple called Pan Hao was currently looking right at Zhao Feng as he slowly walked over.


    "You should be Zhao Feng, right?" Pan Hao gave Zhao Feng an interested look as he bluntly asked.


    I just became a peripheral disciple, and an inner disciple is already paying me a visit? Zhao Feng was rather surprised.

    Zhao Feng''s face froze, the situation not turning out as he predicted.


    The nearby peripheral disciples had also believed that Pan Hao came to make trouble for Zhao Feng, but his words left their minds reeling.


    Pan Hao followed Zhao Feng into Zhao Feng''s new residence.


    "Although I admire your daring and courage, you don''t have a chance with Zhao Yufei," Pan Hao bluntly stated, his tone indicating that he wasn''t joking and was quite serious.


    "You have no idea; almost all the outstanding inner disciples are after Zhao Yufei. Of course, they also don''t have a chance. The only people with even a hope of being with Zhao Yufei are the core disciples. That''s right ¨C I heard you crippled Zhao Hongyi. His older cousin is one of the most outstanding inner disciples, a Rank Four True God¡­"

 1245 Another Meeting with Yuan Long

    Chapter 1245 - Another Meeting with Yuan Long


    Zhao Hongyi was the green-skinned youth who Zhao Feng had defeated several days ago. His older cousin was an outstanding inner disciple who had long ago broken into the True God level and was already a Rank Four True God.


    "Why are you telling me all this?" Zhao Feng bluntly asked after listening to everything.


    Zhao Feng was thoroughly puzzled as to why the inner disciple Pan Hao would come to find him and give him so much advice.


    "As a Quasi-God prodigy, you don''t even mind becoming a worker disciple to pursue Zhao Yufei. I deeply admire your conduct. You probably have a sincere love for Zhao Yufei!" Pan Hao earnestly said.


    "Second, you offended Zhao Hongyi''s cousin, Zhao Lanyi, and among the inner disciples, I happen to be standing opposed to Zhao Lanyi. I came this time to take a look at you and see if you had any hope of becoming a part of my side." Pan Hao explained his second reason.


    The conflicts within the inner disciples were incredibly vicious, as they were related to their opportunities to become core disciples. If Zhao Feng had the strength and potential to become an inner disciple, then Pan Hao needed to get ahead of the crowd and pull Zhao Feng to his side.


    Zhao Feng nodded. It seemed like it was no coincidence that Pan Hao came to find him. However, he really didn''t care about the struggle between the Spiritual Race''s inner disciples.


    "What about you? Are you not trying to court Zhao Yufei as well?" Zhao Feng curiously asked.


    "I suppose I am¡­." Pan Hao needed to think a little before answering.


    There was no one who didn''t love a woman that was both talented and gorgeous, but Pan Hao knew that he would never be able to obtain Zhao Yufei''s favor. Thus, he had no desire to step into that quagmire. But his father spent every day urging him to pursue Zhao Yufei, constantly blabbering about fate and destiny and "who knows?" Maybe Zhao Yufei would take a liking to his son.


    Pan Hao could do nothing else except play the part of one of Zhao Yufei''s suitors.


    "Pan Hao, you''re an inner disciple. Can you deliver a letter to Zhao Yufei?!" Zhao Feng blurted out as the idea came to him.


    "My apologies, I''m not that extraordinary among the inner disciples, so Zhao Yufei would never agree to see me." Pan Hao chuckled. Despite everything he just said, Zhao Feng was still set on pursuing Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Feng lowered his head, realizing that he had underestimated Zhao Yufei''s status in the Spiritual Race.


    "With your current status, you might be able to get a meeting with Zhao Yufei in the next few decades, but¡­" Pan Hao smiled, leaving Zhao Feng hanging.


    "But what?" Zhao Feng realized that Pan Hao was up to something.


    "But recently, some of the Spiritual Race''s core disciples have been talking about holding a conference. They''ve invited many core disciples and inner disciples¡­." Pan Hao smiled.


    Zhao Feng knew that Zhao Yufei was definitely one of these core disciples.


    "Brother Pan, bring me along!" Zhao Feng''s face shifted as he immediately requested.


    "It''s best if you don''t go. This conference is actually being hosted by Quasi-God Luo Yu and Zhao Yufei. These are the two goddesses of the Spiritual Race. Their many suitors will almost all be there," Pan Hao advised.


    All the inner disciples already knew of Zhao Feng''s reputation. If Zhao Feng really appeared, he would definitely end up as a target.


    Zhao Feng said nothing, but his eyes remained locked onto Pan Hao.


    "You really want to go?"


    Zhao Feng didn''t have the right to participate in the conference, but even if Pan Hao didn''t tell him, he would definitely come to know about such a major event sooner or later. Moreover, a madman like Zhao Feng was probably willing to do anything.


    "I can bring you, but you''d better not make any trouble!" Pan Hao warned Zhao Feng.


    As long as Zhao Feng didn''t cause any drama, he didn''t see any problem with bringing Zhao Feng to have a look.


    Pan Hao and Zhao Feng then began to discuss the topics of this conference.


    Pan Hao finally left Zhao Feng''s residence in the middle of the night.


    "Oh, that''s right, you can relax. Zhao Lanyi is currently in seclusion and won''t try to make trouble with you for the time being. Take this time to use the cultivation resources provided to peripheral disciples and increase your strength." Pan Hao gave one last word of advice before leaving.


    He could tell that Zhao Feng possessed many hidden reserves and was probably not weak. This was indeed someone who could join his side, but Zhao Lanyi was still a Rank Four True God. There was no way Zhao Feng was a match for him, so he decided to warn Zhao Feng against doing anything too out of line.


    Once Pan Hao was gone, Zhao Feng entered his own seclusion. Now that he was a peripheral disciple, others could not recklessly disturb him while he was in seclusion, and they certainly weren''t allowed to probe him with their Divine Sense.


    One month later, Zhao Feng left his palace. Peripheral disciples didn''t need to perform menial labor, but they needed to take a small mission every month. They would receive a reward commensurate with the difficulty of the mission.


    Many new missions would be posted in the mission hall every day. The difficulty levels ranged from the Demigod level to that of a Rank Seven Ancient God, with the divisions being extremely strict. They were available for all the disciples of the race to choose from. These missions could not only be used to temper oneself, but also obtain rewards.


    At this moment, intense ripples of Divine Power came from the distance. All the disciples around the mission hall turned to look.


    "That is¡­?" Zhao Feng focused on the horizon. He saw that a small team of three were seated on a flying Yao God that was approaching the mission hall at an extremely fast speed.


    The Spiritual Race had a rule that ordinary disciples could not ride flying mounts within the Spiritual Race.


    "That''s¡­ a core disciple of the Spiritual Race!" someone called out in shock.


    Two of the people on that flying mount had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race.


    "So cool!" A female disciple turned her clear eyes toward the youth sitting at the very front of the flying mount.


    This youth had a face that would make even a woman envious, and his Spiritual Race blood only made him even more handsome and noble.


    But at this moment, this youth was looking right at Zhao Feng.


    "It''s him!" This youth that was the focus of attention spoke at the same time as Zhao Feng.


    "Yuan Long, you recognize that peripheral disciple?" a girl next to Yuan Long with a pure and simple beauty curiously asked.


    "Haha, I didn''t think that you could get here!" Yuan Long couldn''t help but smile.


    He had followed his master when they descended to the Continent Zone. When they were taking away Zhao Yufei, he had truly not regarded Zhao Feng very highly. However, Zhao Feng actually managed to rely on his own abilities to enter the Spiritual Race, even becoming a peripheral disciple. This was proof that Zhao Feng was no fool.


    Everyone around the mission hall was stunned. The majority of them took Zhao Feng to be a Quasi-God who had worked his way up from being a worker disciple in his pursuit of Zhao Yufei. They never would have expected Zhao Feng to know Yuan Long, a core disciple of the Spiritual Race and one of its true prodigies.


    "But the current you is even less of a fit for Senior Sister Yufei." With this indifferent comment, Yuan Long headed into the mission hall.


    The surrounding crowd was in an uproar, as it now seemed that Zhao Feng''s pursuit of Zhao Yufei was not just a one or two-day affair.


    "This kid has probably been trying to court Zhao Yufei for a long time."


    "So clingy! Just a toad trying to eat swan flesh!"


    The nearby disciples couldn''t help but comment on this matter.


    After some time, Yuan Long and the other two disciples finished receiving their rewards and emerged from the hall. Yuan Long gave Zhao Feng an apathetic glance before leaving.


    The Spiritual Race girl with the pure and simple beauty gave Zhao Feng a smirk and walked up to him.


    "The conference will be in a few days. You''d better show up!" the girl messaged him as she walked past.


    "Mm?"


    A feminine fragrance filled Zhao Feng''s nose as he sensed that an object had appeared in his hand. As the Spiritual Race girl messaged him, she furtively placed an invitation in his hand.


    Zhao Feng gripped the invitation in shock as he watched the Spiritual Race girl leave.

 1246 Conference

    Chapter 1246 - Conference


    Once the three core disciples were gone, the mission hall began to buzz with chatter.


    "Why did Kong Die get so close to Zhao Feng?"


    "Kong Die and Zhao Yufei have a good relationship. She was definitely warning Zhao Feng to stop trying to get involved with Zhao Yufei!"


    Many of the people in the crowd began to criticize Zhao Feng.


    No one realized that, when Kong Die got close to Zhao Feng, an invitation appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, nor did anyone notice Zhao Feng immediately place this invitation in his Interspatial Dimension.


    "That person is helping me?" Zhao Feng was amazed.


    From the conversation of the disciples around him, Zhao Feng knew that this Spiritual Race woman called Kong Die seemed to be on very good terms with Zhao Yufei. However, if this girl wanted to help Zhao Feng, why didn''t she just tell Zhao Yufei about him instead of going through the trouble of giving him an invitation?


    Other than that, after his brief interaction with Yuan Long, Zhao Feng finally understood how strong Yuan Long was.


    "Rank Five True God!" Zhao Feng felt a chill in his heart.


    Yuan Long wasn''t very old. The difference in age between him and Zhao Feng was practically insubstantial. At his current level of strength, Zhao Feng didn''t fear Rank Five True Gods, but Yuan Long also had his Spiritual Race bloodline, which allowed him to contend against Rank Six True Gods.


    "If I try for the Heavenly Divine Realm at my current level, I have a fifty percent chance of reaching Rank Five."


    Zhao Feng was not at all discouraged. Once he successfully broke into the Heavenly Divine Realm, he would have no need to fear Yuan Long.


    Moreover, Zhao Feng hadn''t even completed the last levels of his Sacred Lightning Body and Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique yet. Thus, Zhao Feng still needed to wait until he had completed both of these techniques before making a go at the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    At that time, he would be even more confident of becoming a Rank Five True God.


    After entering the mission hall, he picked the easiest mission and finished it in three days. Zhao Feng then returned to his residence and entered seclusion.


    One day, Pan Hao paid another visit.


    "Let''s go! I''ll take you to experience the conference of inner disciples and core disciples."


    Zhao Feng soon arrived at the inner disciple living area, where the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was even more thickly concentrated.


    The number of people in the inner disciple area was extremely small, as the majority of the inner disciples had already left for the conference.


    It didn''t take long before Zhao Feng came to the core disciple living area.


    The core disciples were the true focus of the Spiritual Race''s training and resources. Each core disciple would receive enormous protection and nurturing from the Spiritual Race. There were some core disciples who were even weaker than periphery disciples, but their potential was top-class. With enough time, they would transform into experts.


    In a little while, Zhao Feng came to a clear lake.


    The lake was crisscrossed by small bridges, pathways, and pavilions. There were many youthful and talented figures on these bridges and pathways, chatting together in small groups.


    "Quasi-God Luo Yu and Zhao Yufei are the main characters of this conference. They won''t be coming that early." Pan Hao saw that Zhao Feng was scanning the crowd and immediately chuckled and explained.


    "I brought you here so that you can get a glimpse of Zhao Yufei and also see how strong your competition is so that you can give up on this idea. Remember, don''t make any trouble!" Pan Hao warned before they joined the conference.


    Zhao Feng slightly frowned. He naturally wouldn''t go offend someone without provocation, but some matters were simply unavoidable.


    The two then stepped onto the small bridges that traversed the lake.


    Although Zhao Feng''s reputation had already spread among the inner disciples, most of them didn''t know what he looked like. As for the core disciples, they rarely cared about the minor concerns of the lower ranks.


    "Look over there! That''s Core Disciple Zhang Yutong, a Rank Six True God. His ancestor had significant status within the Spiritual Race. He''s one of the strongest contenders for Zhao Yufei''s hand." As they walked along the bridges, Pan Hao would message Zhao Feng with introductions like this. Naturally, his goal was to discourage Zhao Feng from his foolish pursuit.


    "They''re all very strong." Zhao Feng nodded.


    Those participating in this conference were incredible geniuses. They were either extremely strong or possessed supreme talent. Take that Zhang Yutong for example; Zhao Feng had never seen such a young Rank Six True God before.


    Pan Hao nodded, believing that Zhao Feng had been suitably intimidated by all the geniuses they saw along the way and knew that he had no chance.


    Pan Hao then began to introduce Zhao Feng to many inner disciples. Almost all these inner disciples belonged to Pan Hao''s side. When they learned who Zhao Feng was, they began to scold Zhao Feng.


    "I''m taking him to see Zhao Yufei and have him extinguish any thoughts of pursuing her!" Pan Hao whispered to them.


    Those inner disciples said no more, sighing as they went to chat up a core disciple.


    "Isn''t this Brother Pan?"


    At this moment, a shrewd-faced youth appeared behind Pan Hao.


    Pan Hao knew who it was the moment he heard the voice. He impatiently gestured toward the person.


    "This is Cui Lin, one of Zhao Lanyi''s people," Pan Hao secretly messaged Zhao Feng.


    "Brother Pan, this Cui seems to be meeting this person beside you for the first time. Might you introduce him to me?" Cui Lin turned his cold and sinister gaze to Zhao Feng.


    The inner disciples were essentially divided into two factions. Cui Lin and Pan Hao stood on opposite sides. Cui Lin didn''t recall Pan Hao''s faction having some golden-haired kid. Was this some newly promoted inner disciple?


    "It''s not worth it for someone as important as Brother Cui to know such a lowly person." Pan Hao immediately refused and took Zhao Feng to the outskirts of the conference.


    "Be more inconspicuous for me. We can''t let them realize you''re a periphery disciple, or else they''ll give our faction a fierce beating, and humiliate you as well!" Pan Hao whispered.


    The pair seated themselves down at the edge of the crowd, where fewer people were roaming. Pan Hao wasn''t really pursuing Zhao Yufei or Quasi-God Luo Yu, so he really didn''t care about the conference.


    At this moment, many of the youths conversing fell silent and turned in the same direction.


    "Look, Quasi-God Luo Yu has arrived!" Pan Hao nudged Zhao Feng''s shoulder.


    Two Spiritual Race women appeared nearby, but everyone''s eyes were focused on the white-clothed woman standing on the right.


    This person was like an ice fairy, her countenance like a lotus flower breaking the surface of the water. Her clear and bright eyes were like exquisite crystals while the curves of her body that occasionally revealed themselves as she walked aroused the hearts of all the young men watching.


    "She''s Quasi-God Luo Yu?" Zhao Feng looked appreciatively at this fairy-like beauty.


    Quasi-God Luo Yu was only a Rank Three Quasi-God, but as she held the Spiritual Race bloodline, her true fighting power was greater.


    Zhao Feng''s focus quickly turned to the woman next to Quasi-God Luo Yu. This woman had a smug smile on her face. This was none other than the first Spiritual Race woman Zhao Feng met upon arriving at the Spiritual Race, Wei Qingying.


    "Fairy Luo Yu, why don''t you join us?"


    "Quasi-God Luo Yu, did you like the Nine-colored Heaven Yang Flower this Shen sent you?"


    ¡­


    More than half of the youths in the pavilion immediately surged toward Quasi-God Luo Yu.


    "To be able to welcome all of you to this conference makes Luo Yu extremely happy¡­" Quasi-God Luo Yu nodded and smiled at all these talented young men.


    Thronged by all these prodigies, Quasi-God Luo Yu entered the conference area.


    "Eh?" Wei Qingying suddenly noticed a golden-haired figure. At first stunned, she quickly broke into a faint smile.


    Wei Qingying whispered a few words into Quasi-God Luo Yu''s ear, and Quasi-God Luo Yu instantly turned her faintly scornful eyes upon Zhao Feng.


    Almost all the youths were focused upon Quasi-God Luo Yu, so when Quasi-God Luo Yu turned in a certain direction, they naturally wanted to see what she was looking at.


    "Mm? What''s going on? Has Quasi-God Luo Yu taken a liking to me?" Next to Zhao Feng, Pan Hao immediately felt his heart start banging against his chest. He wasn''t one of Quasi-God Luo Yu''s pursuers only because he knew that he didn''t have a chance, but if Quasi-God Luo Yu took a liking to him, he would only be too happy to accept.


    "Isn''t this that Zhao Feng who worked his way up from worker disciple out of his love for Zhao Yufei?" Wei Qingying gave a crafty smile, her eyes oozing contempt.


    The crowd was flabbergasted by Wei Qingying''s words.


    "I seem to have heard of something like that. So, that was this brat?" A core disciple coldly snorted as he glared at Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng!" In the crowd, Cui Lin was also startled.


    Only core disciples and inner disciples should have been invited to this conference. He recalled that Zhao Feng had only been promoted to periphery disciple recently, so how could he have become an inner disciple so quickly?


    Before he could think more deeply about this, a golden-clothed youth near Zhao Feng coldly jeered, "A toad craving for swan flesh! A lowly servant also wants to pursue Zhao Yufei?"


    It''s over! Pan Hao inwardly groaned.


    Zhao Feng''s brow creased as he turned to look at this golden-clothed youth. This youth had the Spiritual Race bloodline, but he was only a Rank Three True God. His look of extreme arrogance and the contempt in his eyes were more obvious than those of anyone else present.


    "Endure it! He''s Jin Wei, one of Zhao Yufei''s ardent pursuers. He might be young and weak, but his ancestor wields immense authority in the Spiritual Race. Jin Wei''s ancestor has been strenuously pushing for him to go after Zhao Yufei to consolidate their lineage and status in the Spiritual Race!" Pan Hao messaged Zhao Feng an explanation of this person''s background and status.


    "Servant, do you have the guts to fight a match with me? The one who loses has to get out!" Jin Wei''s scorn was further stimulated by Zhao Feng''s silence.


    Half of the conference involved discussions and seminars, but the other half involved instructive duels. Not everyone had arrived, yet Jin Wei was already challenging Zhao Feng to a duel, intimidating him with his power.


    Many inner disciples and core disciples looked with cold disdain and ridicule at Zhao Feng. Jin Wei was infamous for his arrogance and unruly behavior. His words were harsh and cutting, and he was undoubtedly one of the best at humiliating others. Moreover, Jin Wei''s lineage had an extremely high status in the Spiritual Race, so even the core disciples didn''t dare to provoke him.


    Zhao Feng coldly stared back at Jin Wei. If he didn''t leave, this person would almost certainly continue to humiliate him.


    "Okay! I''d like to experience the power of a core disciple."


    Just when everyone believed that Zhao Feng would leave in a huff, he stepped forward and accepted the challenge.


    Pan Hao slapped himself on the forehead, believing that he had made a grave mistake in bringing Zhao Feng.


    "Fairy Luo Yu, if you don''t mind, I will take care of this servant before the conference begins!" Jin Wei smiled at Fairy Luo Yu.


    "Luo Yu came this time precisely to witness the strength of all the talented people present¡­" Fairy Luo Yu smiled, clearly giving her tacit approval for this bout.

 1247 Finally Meeting Zhao Yufei

    Chapter 1247 - Finally Meeting Zhao Yufei


    "Yufei, hurry up! The conference is about to begin!" Kong Die anxiously shouted.


    Nearby was a pure and peerless beauty dressed in violet robes. Her snow-white skin shone with a crystalline luster, making her appear like a high and noble ice fairy.


    But this gorgeous woman had a rather mournful expression and seemed to not be very interested in anything.


    "The conference has nothing to do with me." Zhao Yufei appeared to be in no rush.


    "Haaa, this is a conference that the upper echelons of the Spiritual Race held specifically for you and Quasi-God Luo Yu. There are so many people waiting for you!" Kong Die rushed over and began to pull on Zhao Yufei''s arm, urging her to speed up.


    "Hehe, I said before that I prepared a surprise for you at this conference. How can you not go?" Kong Die added.


    "It''s not like I don''t know everyone there. What sort of surprise could it possibly be?" Zhao Yufei was a little curious.


    "You''ll find out once you get there¡­." Kong Die gave a mysterious smile.


    ¡­


    In the crystalline clearing at the center of the lake, a core disciple stood across from Zhao Feng.


    Wei Qingying chuckled as she activated the boundary array that would prevent the battle between the pair from affecting others.


    All the disciples present had gathered around the fighting stage.


    "This kid doesn''t have a strong bloodline. There''s no way he can resist Jin Wei''s Spiritual Race bloodline."


    Some of the core disciples had little interest in this battle.


    First, the fighting power of both sides wasn''t very strong.


    Second, there was no suspense about the result. Jin Wei wasn''t a very strong core disciple, but he still had the bloodline of the Spiritual Race. When fighting with him, one would experience greater pressure the weaker one''s bloodline was. Moreover, as a core disciple, Jin Wei cultivated only the best techniques and skills.


    "Haaa, you should have just left. If you fight with Jin Wei, you''ll still have to leave after you lose anyway," Pan Hao stood on the side and muttered.


    Elsewhere, Quasi-God Luo Yu stared at Zhao Feng with a faint smile on her lips. Zhao Feng had a good face and bearing, and he possessed both courage and daring. Alas, he was one of Zhao Yufei''s pursuers, or else Quasi-God Luo Yu might have considered putting a stop to this battle.


    "I''ll let you experience the true Spiritual Race bloodline!" Jin Wei waved his golden robe, his face brimming with arrogance and haughtiness.


    "Slow down!" Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    "What? Regretting it already?" Jin Wei sneered as he stared contemptuously at his opponent.


    The crowd was also stunned. Was Zhao Feng really having second thoughts even though he was now on stage?


    "If I lose, I have to leave the conference, but if you lose, you also have to leave the conference, right?" Zhao Feng casually smiled.


    His words instantly earned the disdain of the crowd.


    "This brat is too conceited!"


    "He really thinks he''s all that!?"


    Quite a few inner disciples immediately spoke up to flatter Jin Wei.


    "Haha, I agree with your request, but I won''t be the one losing!" Jin Wei laughed as he confidently declared.


    "Then let''s begin."


    Seeing that Jin Wei had agreed, Zhao Feng ceased to smile, and a bone-chilling aura began to rise from his body.


    As Jin Wei looked into Zhao Feng''s eyes, he couldn''t help but tremble as a tiny sliver of fear emerged in his heart.


    How could this be? Why would I be afraid of him!? Jin Wei was somewhat astonished.


    Jin Wei immediately activated his Spiritual Race bloodline. In a flash, Jin Wei''s body became transparent crystal bursting with a dazzling white glow. A majestic surge of bloodline energy flew at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s brow slightly creased. Although this Jin Wei was lacking in strength, he was quite skilled at using his bloodline energy. He truly lived up to his reputation as a core disciple.


    After his constant refining, Zhao Feng had only managed to bring his Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline barely within the range of the top one thousand of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Using the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline at this moment would be essentially useless because it would be fully suppressed by Jin Wei''s Spiritual Race bloodline.


    But Zhao Feng had no need to use his bloodline.


    "Haha, this kid is probably seeing the true Spiritual Race bloodline for the first time!"


    "His bloodline is impossible to use in front of Jin Wei!"


    Quite a few people jeered at the sight of Zhao Feng just standing on stage, not circulating his bloodline.


    "Spirit Accumulation Fist!"


    As Jin Wei activated his bloodline, all the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within the array was his to use.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Countless white crystal shards flew around his body. These crystal shards formed a massive crystal fist that rumbled toward Zhao Feng.


    This massive fist was about to strike Zhao Feng, but he still had not moved!


    "Hehe! It would already be amazing if you can stop this move without circulating your bloodline!" Jin Wei was quite proud and arrogant after firing off this fist.


    "Is that so?" Zhao Feng suddenly spat out these words.


    Swish!


    His body suddenly seethed with five-colored lightning, which formed into lighting tattoos that adhered to his body. At the same time, a force of physical lightning that could crush all swept out from his body.


    The air itself seemed to sink down, and the crystal fist rumbling toward him also trembled.


    Boom!


    The weight of the lightning increased, crushing the crystal fist into powder and causing even the stage itself to shudder.


    Nearby, Jin Wei was also caught off guard and was suppressed by this enormous physical force. The lightning also paralyzed his entire body.


    "How!? Jin Wei''s attack was crushed!"


    "How did he do it!?"


    The crowd was blown away by these events. They initially believed that Zhao Feng would either suffer a miserable defeat or put up some desperate struggle for a while before losing. They never imagined a sight like this.


    Thump!


    Zhao Feng stepped forward, sending another wave of physical force and lightning sweeping through the stage.


    Jin Wei felt his heart thump as another fierce impact fell upon his body.


    Thump!


    Zhao Feng took another step, and Jin Wei became ghastly pale.


    A third step!


    Jin Wei vomited blood.


    A fourth step!


    Jin Wei sat limply on the ground, his entire body shaking!


    Hisss!


    All was quiet around the fighting stage.


    Zhao Feng had never once made an obvious attack. Just by walking forward, he heavily injured Jin Wei, who was no longer able to fight!


    How was this possible? The many core disciples present found it impossible to believe that Zhao Feng had this kind of strength.


    "This is his strength?" Pan Hao''s mouth was open so wide that one could stuff a large apple into it.


    The array prevented them from being able to sense just how much power Zhao Feng was actually using, but anyone who could render Jin Wei so powerless was definitely no weakling.


    "This brat¡­" Zhang Yutong''s eyes focused as he finally took a good look at Zhao Feng.


    Fairy Luo Yu was also staring in a daze at Zhao Feng, at his handsome bearing, his cold and carefree face. This was a supreme sovereign of lightning, tyrannical beyond compare.


    "Zhao Yufei!" At this moment, someone called out from the crowd.


    "Zhao Yufei is here!"


    Everyone immediately looked to the distance. A transcendent beauty, elegant and pure, clothed in a violet robe, was drifting over from the distance. At this moment, she was the most beautiful thing in the world.


    Even Quasi-God Luo Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a tinge of envy crept onto her face.


    "Yufei!" Jin Wei''s expression froze, and then he roared, "No, I can''t lose!"


    He could not reveal such a miserable appearance before his goddess. He had to defeat Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    A crystal sword appeared in his hand, covered in profound and exquisite blue lines. The moment this sword appeared, even the people outside the array noticed that sharp Sword Intent. They could even sense some of that sword''s Divine Power.


    Jin Wei''s actions immediately made him the center of attention once more.


    "High-quality divine weapon ¨C Celestial Crystal Sword!" a core disciple immediately yelped out.


    High-quality divine weapons were normally used by Ancient Gods!


    "I didn''t think that Jin Wei''s ancestor would give him the Celestial Crystal Sword for his protection!" Zhang Yutong was alarmed.


    The sharpness of high-quality divine weapons could only be blocked by another high-quality divine weapon.


    "Divine weapons aren''t allowed to be used in the conference!" Pan Hao immediately called out in alarm.


    This conference''s primary purpose was to have the geniuses of the Spiritual Race interact and exchange pointers, not engage in battles of life or death. Divine weapons were forbidden!


    But nobody tried to stop Jin Wei. After all, they all hoped to see Zhao Feng disappear from this place.


    But, the inconceivable occurred.


    "Jin Wei, stop!" That distant violet-clothed woman suddenly gave a loud rebuke and charged onto the stage.


    Kong Die immediately flew next to the stage and dispelled the array.


    "Yufei, what¡­?" Jin Wei was taken aback. Zhao Yufei had never rebuked him before. What was going on here?


    As Zhao Yufei arrived on stage, her hazy eyes seemed to be perpetually fixed on Zhao Feng.


    "Yufei!" Zhang Yutong''s expression flickered. Zhao Yufei had never displayed much interest in anything. This was the first time he had seen such intense emotion from the woman he loved.


    "Brother Feng¡­ you''re finally here!" Zhao Yufei''s two hazy eyes saw nothing else in the world.


    After thirty-some years, Zhao Feng had finally come to find her ¨C thirty-some years that she had spent waiting. Even though thirty years was extremely short for Quasi-Gods, she felt like she had waited three thousand years, thirty thousand years¡­


    Fortunately, he was finally here. She no longer needed to keep waiting.


    "I came late¡­." Zhao Feng''s voice was somewhat unnatural.


    His heart was deeply moved, and a hint of wetness appeared at the corner of his eyes. When he saw Zhao Yufei, his heart felt an inexplicable ache. He had an unprecedented desire to embrace this girl and not have her suffer any more harm!


    "Yufei!" The crowd couldn''t help but exclaim in shock.


    They could sense that Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng seemed to have a very close relationship.


    At this moment, Zhao Yufei grabbed Zhao Feng''s hand and began to lead him to the side.


    "Let''s go elsewhere and chat!" Zhao Yufei revealed a dazzling smile.


    "How could this be¡­!?" The crowd was overwhelmed. It was like someone had taken a hammer and slammed them all in the heart.


    "Yufei¡­!" Jin Wei''s mind went blank, and the high-quality divine weapon in his hand dropped to the ground with a Clang!


    No one had expected that their goddess would take the hand of some complete nobody. And this nobody used to be a worker disciple that all of them had jeered at no small number of times.


    Cui Lin was flabbergasted as he took out a token and received a message. His face froze, and he immediately went up to Zhang Yutong and whispered a few words in his ear.


    After a brief moment of surprise, Zhang Yutong''s eyes became harsh and fierce.


    "Slow down! Zhao Feng, aren''t you just a periphery disciple? You dare to intrude upon a conference of inner disciples and core disciples!?" Zhang Yutong immediately barked.


    "He''s just a periphery disciple!?" A few core disciples blurted out in shock.


    Everyone believed that one had to at least be an inner disciple to enter this place. It was impossible in their minds for a periphery disciple to mingle in. How did Zhao Feng manage to come to this place with the status of a mere periphery disciple?


    "A periphery disciple dares to sneak into this conference!?" Jin Wei suddenly stood up and savagely growled at Zhao Feng.

 1248 Zhao Yufei Strikes

    Chapter 1248 - Zhao Yufei Strikes


    With Spiritual Race core disciples Zhang Yutong and Jin Wei leading the way, the surrounding disciples began to voice their disapproval. Although they didn''t want to offend Zhao Yufei, the sight of their goddess holding the hand of a strange man was difficult to swallow. Besides, Zhao Feng was just a periphery disciple; the status between him and them was like that between heaven and earth.


    "He was only a periphery disciple? He truly has no respect for the rules!" Wei Qingying shrilly cried out from next to Quasi-God Luo Yu. She initially found it very strange that Zhao Feng managed to get promoted to inner disciple so quickly, but as it turned out, he was only a periphery disciple.


    "Get out of here!" Jin Wei angrily glared at Zhao Feng and bellowed. He had lost the battle just now, so only by humiliating Zhao Feng would he be able to vent his spleen.


    It''s over! Nearby, Pan Hao stirred from his shocked stupor and dropped his head with a sigh.


    He was the one to bring Zhao Feng, and now that this matter was exposed, he would find it hard to extricate himself from any responsibility. Moreover, Zhao Feng had offended the majority of the inner disciples and core disciples here. Once they found out that he was the one who had brought Zhao Feng, their anger would spread to him as well as the inner disciple faction he belonged to.


    "I was the one who let him come!" Zhao Yufei suddenly said, and then she turned to Zhao Feng with a tender look in her eyes.


    The crowd that had been threatening Zhao Feng was instantly dumbfounded.


    "Yufei, you¡­" Jin Wei was speechless. Zhao Yufei had no idea that Zhao Feng would even show up here, so how could she have let him come? It was clear that Zhao Yufei was taking Zhao Feng''s side.


    "Yufei, if you insist on standing up for him, we can''t do anything about it, but the person you favor seems to be just a little too lacking in backbone. Does he only know how to stand behind you and have you block any storms for him?" Zhang Yutong looked at Zhao Feng and jeered.


    Zhao Yufei was a Spiritual Race core disciple and was heavily favored by many of the elders, so if Zhao Yufei wanted to side with Zhao Feng, they couldn''t do anything about it. Thus, Zhang Yutong chose to go at Zhao Feng instead!


    "A fellow who can only depend on a woman!"


    "If you''ve got the guts, come out and take responsibility!"


    The surrounding disciples all began to deride Zhao Feng''s conduct as shameless.


    "Brother Feng, ignore them!" Zhao Yufei''s hand tightened its grip.


    Zhao Feng was just a periphery disciple of the Spiritual Race. He had no backer or patron. If he really did take responsibility for his actions, he was certain to suffer harsh punishment. These inner disciples and core disciples would be able to easily deal with Zhao Feng.


    But at this moment, Zhao Feng stepped forward and calmly stared at Zhang Yutong.


    Other than Kong Die, who was watching all this with a smile on her face, everyone was taken aback by Zhao Feng''s action. He actually stepped forward!


    "This conference did not have a clear rule stating that periphery disciples could not take part," Zhao Feng calmly said.


    Everyone nodded. There truly was no such rule. However, invitations had only been given to core disciples and some inner disciples.


    "Correct, but invitations were not given to periphery¡­" Zhang Yutong had no idea what Zhao Feng was up to, but his voice remained cold and indifferent.


    But he was too stunned to continue, and the second half of his sentence was swallowed back down his throat. At this moment, everyone was staring in astonishment at the invitation in Zhao Feng''s hand!


    "This kid actually has an invitation!" Pan Hao''s eyes were round in shock as he realized that he was worrying over nothing.


    "How? He''s a periphery disciple! How did he get an invitation!?"


    "Damn it! Who gave it to him!?"


    Quite a few people in the crowd were softly cursing under their breath.


    Those who had the right to issue invitations were the core disciples, who wielded the most authority in this conference. How did Zhao Feng manage to meet a core disciple before the conference?


    But there was no question that Zhao Feng had gotten his hands on an invitation, so he clearly had the right to attend this conference.


    "Little Die!" Zhao Yufei gave an excited glance at Kong Die and realized that Kong Die had a face that said, "You owe me a favor."


    Kong Die then turned to Zhao Feng, her eyes turning gloomy. In truth, she also didn''t believe that Zhao Feng was suitable for Zhao Yufei, as there were far too many people better than Zhao Feng among Zhao Yufei''s suitors.


    Just from the people present, Zhang Yutong was a Rank Six True God who could exterminate Zhao Feng as if he was a speck of dust. There were also many core disciples who weren''t participating in this conference because they were in seclusion, and there were also core disciples of the other factions of the Ziling Zone.


    If she hadn''t heard Zhao Yufei often mention Zhao Feng and seen that worried and restless face she put on, Kong Die would have never helped Zhao Feng by giving him an invitation.


    The crowd gradually backed down.


    "You ¨C shouldn''t you be leaving this place?" At this moment, Zhao Feng turned his eyes to Jin Wei and coldly spoke.


    Jin Wei''s face froze, and then he remembered that his wager with Zhao Feng specified that the loser would leave the conference. He never imagined that he would lose, so he had not paid this wager any mind.


    Jin Wei''s gaze was so vicious that it seemed like he wanted to devour Zhao Feng whole. In the end, he left with an angry harrumph. Even though he lost the battle to Zhao Feng, he had many methods available to him in the Spiritual Race to get rid of Zhao Feng.


    As Jin Wei was leaving, a green-skinned man came up to him.


    "Big Bro Jin Wei, where are you going?" Zhao Lanyi curiously asked. He had arrived late because he was in seclusion, but he presumed that the conference wasn''t over yet.


    Jin Wei was in an absolutely awful mood and couldn''t be bothered to chat with Zhao Lanyi. Thus, he left without even giving Zhao Lanyi a glance.


    Zhao Lanyi somewhat awkwardly entered the conference.


    "Mm? Zhao Feng!?" Zhao Lanyi immediately spotted Zhao Feng''s figure standing in the large clearing at the center of the conference.


    Before coming to the conference, he heard about everything from his cousin Zhao Hongyi, who had requested that he give Zhao Feng a fierce lesson.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was still standing on the fighting stage while Zhao Yufei was standing not far behind him. Wasn''t this the perfect moment for him to force Zhao Feng into battle and show off his strength?!


    Thump!


    Zhao Lanyi leaped onto the stage.


    "Zhao Feng, you bullied my younger cousin. As the older cousin, I must avenge this injustice!" Zhao Lanyi stared at Zhao Feng, a faint smile on his lips.


    He was an exemplary inner disciple, a Rank Four True God who was even stronger than some of the core disciples.


    The surrounding crowd was eerily quiet with strange looks on their faces. For an inner disciple like Zhao Lanyi to dare challenge a person who Zhao Yufei favored was nothing but suicidal in their eyes. In addition, Zhao Feng''s own strength was not to be underestimated.


    But Zhao Feng was an eyesore to everyone present, with some core disciples already thinking about how to get rid of him. As a result, they all hoped to see Zhao Lanyi and Zhao Feng fight so that they could get a true measure of Zhao Feng''s strength.


    However, those inner disciples who were allied with Zhao Lanyi would naturally tell him what was going on.


    "Zhao Lanyi, that kid is very strong, and he also has some kind of relationship with Zhao Yufei!" someone silently messaged.


    "What¡­?" Zhao Lanyi''s will to fight was instantly extinguished.


    At this moment, he finally realized that Zhao Yufei was staring at him with a bone-chilling glare.


    Zhao Lanyi was somewhat regretting his decision to come a little late, which resulted in him not knowing of the relationship between Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei. Even if he really did defeat Zhao Feng, he would just end up offending Zhao Yufei.


    But now that he was riding the tiger, it was hard to get back down. He just challenged Zhao Feng to a battle, and Zhao Feng had still not replied. Now, Zhao Lanyi could only silently pray that Zhao Feng would refuse.


    "Brother Feng just fought a match. Let me take his place." Zhao Yufei stepped forward, her gorgeous face a sheet of ice.


    "No! Miss Yufei, this might be a little inappropriate¡­" Zhao Lanyi hurriedly replied in surprise.


    Zhao Yufei was a core disciple with a thick bloodline and incredible cultivation talent. She was outstanding in every aspect and was someone he did not dare to offend. In addition, Zhao Yufei had always been a woman that he admired, so he found himself incapable of attacking her.


    "There''s nothing inappropriate about it!" Zhao Yufei''s eyes flashed with icy light.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Yufei''s skin suddenly became like transparent crystal that shone with a violet luster. A vast bloodline energy made the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the area churn and roil.


    With a wave of her hand, a violet barrier of light flew forward. The pressure of the Spiritual Race bloodline restrained Zhao Lanyi''s in various ways, making it impossible for him to dodge, so he could only do everything in his power to fend off this blow.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Lanyi flew backward out of an explosion of violet crystal shards. Many parts on his body had crystallized, even the blood trickling from his lips having congealed into red crystal.


    "Zhao Yufei is even more skilled at using her bloodline!"


    "The Rank Four True God Zhao Lanyi was defeated in a single blow by Zhao Yufei!"


    The surrounding disciples were all blown away by this sight.


    The envy in Quasi-God Luo Yu''s thickened. She was no longer even capable of taking a single technique from Zhao Yufei.


    As Zhao Yufei turned back around, the cold and harsh look on her face thawed into a tender and affectionate gaze. She once more took Zhao Feng''s hand and brought him away from the conference.


    "Yufei, the thickness of your bloodline seems to be greater than that of any other person of the Spiritual Race," Zhao Feng mumbled in shock. He had never imagined that Zhao Yufei would be just as dazzling in the Spiritual Race as she had been in the Continent Zone.


    "Hehe, I''m nothing compared to you!" Zhao Yufei gave a rare blush of shame.


    No matter the time or place, she would always hold Zhao Feng to be an insurmountable mountain. Even now, Zhao Yufei was confident that Zhao Feng was far stronger than anyone imagined.


    Pan Hao watched enviously as the number one beauty of the Spiritual Race took Zhao Feng out of his sight. "This kid, he already knew Zhao Yufei!"


    ¡­


    Before the conference had even begun, Zhao Feng crushed Jin Wei, and Zhao Yufei defeated Zhao Lanyi in a single blow, after which the two left hand in hand.


    The core disciples present had lost any semblance of grace or elegance. Only a few inner disciples were still cheerfully chatting up some core disciples.


    "Heh, Sister Luo Yu, although this conference is a mess, this isn''t necessarily a bad thing for you!" Wei Qingying craftily smiled as she spoke to Quasi-God Luo Yu.


    "True. The upper echelon of the Spiritual Race won''t permit Zhao Yufei to get together with trash¡­."


    Now that Quasi-God Luo Yu thought about it, Wei Qingying''s words were quite reasonable. By daring to reach for Zhao Yufei, Zhao Feng had doomed himself to tragedy. Moreover, Zhao Yufei provoking the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race and the other core disciples was precisely what Quasi-God Luo Yu wanted.


    Nobody knew that the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race had been watching this conference the entire time.


    "This boy was the one that Zhao Yufei was always concerned about? How did he get to the Spiritual Race?"


    "It seems like this boy''s arrival allowed Zhao Yufei to achieve a minor breakthrough. She has even stronger control over her bloodline now!"


    "No matter what, we can''t allow this brat''s low-class bloodline to pollute the bloodline of the Spiritual Race!"

 1249 Pressure

    Chapter 1249 - Pressure


    After leaving the conference, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei began to stroll through the magnificent core lands of the Spiritual Race. Everything here was made from various colored crystals. The high-quality God Crystal vein down below made it so that the thick Heaven Earth Yuan Qi hung in the air like a thin mist, rendering the place a fairyland.


    Zhao Yufei was a lively and adorable fairy, her movements lithe and graceful, her joy difficult to conceal. She was well aware of how vast the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was. She originally believed that Zhao Feng would need one or two hundred years to find the Spiritual Race.


    But Zhao Feng had arrived at the Spiritual Race much sooner than that. Didn''t this mean that she had a very high place in his heart? Zhao Yufei inwardly rejoiced.


    At the same time, Zhao Yufei was also flabbergasted. If Zhao Feng had spent all these years making his way to this place, how had he managed to progress so quickly in strength?


    "Brother Feng, not even my Spiritual Race bloodline can keep up with your cultivation speed!" Zhao Yufei faintly smiled.


    "Your Spiritual Race bloodline truly is unusual, but don''t forget about my left eye." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    He had been able to reach his current level so quickly in large part because of his left eye.


    The two began to chat about their various circumstances and experiences in the intervening years.


    At some point, Zhao Yufei led Zhao Feng to her private residence. This was a gorgeous complex of palaces built from violet crystal.


    Before entering, Zhao Feng could already smell a unique fragrance drifting through the air.


    "Brother Feng, why not stay in the Spiritual Race?" Zhao Yufei stared at Zhao Feng, her eyes like gentle pools of water.


    In the past, they would always meet and then have to bid farewell soon after. This last separation had lasted for thirty-some years, and Zhao Yufei didn''t know how long their next separation would be.


    She had also learned from Zhao Feng''s stories that his fianc¨¦e had managed to reincarnate through a special method. However, in her view, this Liu Qinyin was no longer the Liu Qinxin that Zhao Feng was engaged to. Moreover, if Liu Qinyin had no background or talent, she would forever remain in the Continent Zone and never appear before Zhao Feng again.


    "Okay!" Zhao Yufei''s breathtakingly beautiful face caused a surge of emotion in Zhao Feng''s heart.


    Perhaps he was too tired after all these years of running and killing. Perhaps this separation had been too long, or perhaps it was the severing of his past with Liu Qinxin¡­. This meeting left Zhao Feng in an incredibly complicated emotional state, and he felt a burning passion at the bottom of his heart.


    As the two emotionally stared into each other''s eyes, they became entranced and began to approach each other. Zhao Feng''s arm was now embracing Zhao Yufei''s slender waist, causing her to give a soft groan and her body to flush an enchanting red.


    At this moment, a voice echoed through the palace; "Yufei, come to me. Your master has a matter to discuss with you!"


    Zhao Yufei''s expression froze in shock, and she immediately struggled out of Zhao Feng''s arm, her face bashful and at a loss.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes also regained clarity, and he somewhat awkwardly exchanged glances with this gorgeous woman in front of him.


    "Master is looking for me," Zhao Yufei softly said.


    She knew that the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race had seen everything that happened during the conference. Zhao Feng didn''t have a powerful ancient bloodline, so the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race would not permit her to be together with Zhao Feng.


    "Brother, what if we tell the Spiritual Race about your God Eye?" Zhao Yufei whispered.


    Once the Spiritual Race knew about Zhao Feng''s God Eye, they would definitely cease meddling in the pair''s affairs and would perhaps be only too anxious to recruit Zhao Feng. It had to be known that the Eight Great God Eyes that the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods knew of were all supreme "God Eye Deities."


    "I''m still too weak. If the matter of the God Eye gets out, I''m afraid¡­" Zhao Feng slightly shook his head.


    He only realized the power of the Eight Great God Eyes after coming to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    He possessed the Ninth God Eye, which probably shared the same potential as the others. However, he was still rather weak. Once it became known that he had a God Eye, those factions that Zhao Feng had quarrels with would think of every method to deal with him.


    In addition, he had no idea what the other Eight Great God Eyes thought of his Ninth God Eye. If Zhao Feng''s God Eye incurred the revulsion of any of the other God Eyes, his fate would be sealed.


    Zhao Yufei nodded, naturally understanding the dilemma Zhao Feng faced.


    Zhao Yufei left for her master''s residence while Zhao Feng left the core disciple area.


    In the forbidden ground of the Spiritual Race, in a certain ordinary-looking green crystal palace:


    "Yufei, he came?" a white-robed elder with an ordinary voice slowly spoke.


    If Zhao Feng was here, he would certainly recognize this elder to be the Spiritual Race expert who had descended to the Continent Zone to pick up Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei nodded. Her master already knew everything about her relationship with Zhao Feng.


    "You also know of the predicament facing the Spiritual Race. The conflict between the Spiritual Race''s two major parties is intensifying by the day, and there is also the problem of the Blazing Gold Race¡­." The white-robed elder sighed.


    There was no faction that was in absolute harmony. The Spiritual Race also had its own internal conflicts. And on the outside, another five-star faction of the Ziling Zone ¨C the Blazing Gold Race ¨C had always been ambitiously eying the Spiritual Race.


    "Our party needs to grow stronger, and the Spiritual Race needs to grow stronger. Those above will not allow your noble bloodline to mix with a useless outsider!" the elder continued.


    In truth, those above had already made arrangements for Zhao Yufei''s marriage. Either Zhao Yufei would be married to the core disciple belonging to the other party to ease the internal strife or else she would be married to one of the other two five-star factions of the Ziling Zone so that their alliance would be able to intimidate the Blazing Gold Race.


    Zhao Feng was just a human with a low-level bloodline. What right did he have to marry Zhao Yufei?


    "Brother Feng will stay in the Spiritual Race. He''s no outsider!" Zhao Yufei firmly said.


    "There are so many people pursuing you. Zhao Feng is no match for them," the white-robed elder said.


    Zhao Yufei immediately fell silent. She naturally knew this.


    Rank Six True God Zhang Yutong was only one of her suitors. The other five-star factions were also home to powerful experts who desired her hand. Even geniuses from the previous generation who were now Ancient Gods were interested in her.


    "If he had come with me to the Spiritual Race back then and enjoyed the cultivating resources and treatment of a five-star faction, perhaps it would not have been like this¡­." The elder sighed.


    When he took away Zhao Yufei, he invited Zhao Feng as well, but Zhao Feng refused. If Zhao Feng had come to the Spiritual Race and cultivated for several decades, he might have made impressive progress.


    At this time, another figure slowly strode out.


    "Senior Brother Yuan Long¡­." Zhao Yufei somewhat dejectedly greeted him.


    "Junior Sister Yufei, I don''t know what you see in Zhao Feng, but I can tell you that there are many geniuses in the Ziling Zone who surpass him in every aspect," Yuan Long apathetically said.


    In his heart, someone who could match with his Zhao Yufei had to be at least stronger than him and also could not have too low-class a bloodline. Zhao Feng was only a Quasi-God whose bloodline could barely rank around one thousand among the ancient races. Among Zhao Yufei''s pursuers, he was an existence that was rotting in the streets.


    "Yufei, think this over carefully. Not just for you, but for Zhao Feng as well!" The white-robed elder''s words were tinged with harshness.


    ¡­


    The conference was not yet over, so the core disciple area was still rather empty, allowing Zhao Feng to smoothly depart.


    "Once I become a Rank Five True God in one step, I''ll prove my talent and potential," Zhao Feng emotionlessly declared.


    It had to be said that even Quasi-God Heaven Swallower of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land was only capable of entering the Heavenly Divine Realm at Rank Four. Perhaps he had a chance of getting even higher given the time that had passed, but so did Zhao Feng. His progress far surpassed the number one Quasi-God prodigy of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.


    "But I still need to wait for a little longer."


    Zhao Feng soon left the inner disciple area and returned to his residence.


    Zhao Feng currently was fifty percent confident of entering Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm. However, it would obviously be even better if he could raise this percentage a little more. Thus, Zhao Feng needed to settle down and wait until he had completed his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body.


    After returning to his residence, Zhao Feng resumed his seclusion.


    "These two techniques are both just one tiny sliver from completion¡­." Zhao Feng''s brows creased.


    He knew that he had already squeezed his potential to the limit.


    The later stages of these techniques had always been meant for True Gods. With Zhao Feng''s cultivation still suppressed at the Quasi-God level, he would find it very hard to make any further progress unless he broke through.


    This problem was one that many other Quasi-Gods of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods faced. Everyone knew that constantly building up strength so that one could reach a higher rank of the Heavenly Divine Realm in one go would grant one even better prospects.


    But if one''s potential had been pushed to the limit and any further advancement in techniques would be hindered by the lack of a breakthrough in cultivation, delaying a breakthrough was just wasting time.


    As a result, the majority of people would give up and break through into True Gods so that they could begin the slow climb.


    A month went by very quickly. Zhao Feng had spent three hundred days cultivating in the Spacetime Robe, but his progress remained minuscule.


    One day, Pan Hao came to find him.


    "Zhao Feng, you scoundrel, you actually know Zhao Yufei!" Pan Hao''s first act was to sigh in shock and wonder.


    He had never imagined that a nobody ordinary periphery disciple like Zhao Feng would know the goddess of the Spiritual Race, Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Feng learned from Pan Hao what was going on outside. At present, almost everyone in the Spiritual Race, even the worker disciples, knew that Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng were together.


    "Brother Zhao, you have to be careful!" Pan Hao began to worry.


    Zhao Feng being with Zhao Yufei was shocking, but it wasn''t a good thing. This place was the territory of the Spiritual Race, and Zhao Feng was an outsider who was now vying with many core disciples for the hand of Zhao Yufei.


    This was nothing but certain death in Pan Hao''s view. It was far too easy for those core disciples to deal with Zhao Feng in the territory of the Spiritual Race. If the upper echelon members gave their tacit approval, no one would care even if Zhao Feng was assassinated.


    "I know." Zhao Feng nodded. This was also why he had not revealed too much of his strength.


    As the two were chatting, a roar came from outside; "Zhao Feng, I ¨C Wei Ze ¨C issue a challenge. I want to prove that you are not a fit for Zhao Yufei!"


    "Wei Ze!? This Wei Ze is a core disciple. Although he doesn''t have the Spiritual Race bloodline, he''s still very near the top. He''s reached the peak of Rank Four. You can''t agree to this fight!" A stunned Pan Hao immediately began to urge caution.


    Wei Ze was already at the peak of Rank Four, which was different from ordinary Rank Four True Gods on the outside. In addition, he enjoyed the best cultivation resources, cultivated the best techniques, and owned high-class divine weapons.


    "Zhao Feng, you, who clings to a woman for protection ¨C do you dare to accept this challenge!?" someone else outside loudly jeered.

 1250 Letter of Challenge

    Chapter 1250 - Letter of Challenge


    "Peak Rank Four?" Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    Even twenty-five years ago, he was somewhat confident in fighting a Rank Five True God. This meant that, twenty-five years ago, Zhao Feng was already capable of defeating this Wei Ze.


    Perhaps I should show off my strength a bit!


    Zhao Feng''s expression turned pensive as he began to think.


    The Spiritual Race was a five-star faction with numerous prodigies and geniuses, many of whom had already become Rank Six True Gods. There were some in the previous generation of geniuses that had already become Ancient Gods.


    Even though Zhao Feng defeated Jin Wei and showed off some of his talent and potential, he was still not a member of the Spiritual Race and was thus not worthy of the Spiritual Race''s attention. If not for Zhao Feng''s relationship with Zhao Yufei, the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race might have already turned ruthless with their methods.


    Zhao Feng suddenly stood up and prepared to go out.


    Pan Hao was shocked to see Zhao Feng stand.


    "They''re trying to provoke you. You''re not going out there to agree to a battle, right?" Pan Hao immediately asked.


    Although he knew that Zhao Feng was quite outstanding, he didn''t believe that Zhao Feng could defeat Wei Ze. After all, Zhao Feng was just a Quasi-God.


    "Are you planning to be a turtle in its shell? Going to hide in their forever?"


    "I didn''t think that a man favored by Zhao Yufei would be a spineless coward¡­."


    The brazen jeers outside the palace were endless.


    At this moment, the doors to the crystal palace before them suddenly opened.


    "Oh? You actually dared to come out?"


    At the very front of the crowd was a black-shelled man with curved horns sprouting from his shoulders and a savage and bloodthirsty face.


    This person was Wei Ze.


    Most of the spectators were periphery disciples, but there were also quite a few inner disciples and core disciples mixed in.


    "This is the guy? He seems so weak! How could he be a match for Big Bro Wei Ze!?"


    Ever since the conference concluded, Zhao Feng had been in seclusion and had never come out. Thus, many disciples had never seen Zhao Feng before.


    "If you want to fight, then let''s fight." Zhao Feng coldly stared at Wei Ze.


    "Haha, good!" Wei Ze began to madly laugh.


    In his view, Zhao Feng had grown arrogant after defeating Jin Wei. Jin Wei might have the Spiritual Race bloodline, but he had always been spoiled like a prince. He had never experienced any trials and was lacking in actual fighting ability.


    "This kid actually accepted the challenge? He''s seeking death!"


    "This is going to be good!"


    ¡­


    On the challenge stage in the periphery disciple area:


    "I thought that you would keep hiding behind a woman." Wei Ze''s smile was savage and cruel.


    Wei Ze was also one of Zhao Yufei''s pursuers, but he was out on a mission earlier, so he wasn''t able to participate in the conference. Upon his return, he heard an enraging piece of news. For this reason, after gathering some information, Wei Ze went to find Zhao Feng.


    "Cut the small talk." Zhao Feng''s eyes were cold as his left eye activated, unleashing an astonishing Eye Intent.


    The relaxed and smug Wei Ze was slightly taken aback. Nothing in his intelligence reports said anything about Zhao Feng being able to use eye-bloodline techniques!


    Whoosh!


    A befuddling mist of violet and gold immediately engulfed Wei Ze''s soul. Wei Ze''s surroundings became blurry and indistinct, and he gradually began to lose control over his body.


    "This kid has a pretty good grasp of eye-bloodline techniques!" Wei Ze growled as he circulated his Soul Intent at full power and rapidly recovered.


    Right at this moment, Wei Ze sensed Zhao Feng coming with a fierce attack from his side, and he immediately reacted by punching with both hands.


    Boom! Bang!


    This clash sent Zhao Feng and Wei Ze both retreating several dozen steps.


    "This Wei Ze has a firm will. He''s also quite a powerful fighter." Zhao Feng nodded.


    In the domain of souls, a God Eye had a definite advantage, but Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was still some ways from reaching the level of a Rank Four True God''s. For this reason, his Soul eye-bloodline technique wasn''t very effective against Wei Ze.


    On the other end, Wei Ze''s face was frozen while his mind reeled in shock. He realized that Zhao Feng''s strength and physical body were practically on the same level as his own!


    Wei Ze had achieved such a level by combining a body-refining technique with the advantages of his own bloodline. However, Zhao Feng was just a Quasi-God, and yet he also possessed such a formidable physique?


    The worried Pan Hao''s eyes instantly flew open in shock. He once more realized that he had deeply underestimated Zhao Feng.


    The spectating disciples were also startled. Probably none of them had expected this exchange between Zhao Feng and Wei Ze to be a draw.


    "Hmph!" Wei Ze coldly snorted as he began to circulate Divine Power. A somber and icy energy immediately began to spread from his body.


    He underestimated Zhao Feng in that clash, but he would not give Zhao Feng a second chance.


    Rumble!


    On the other end, Zhao Feng''s body transformed into a bolt of five-colored lightning that shot toward Wei Ze.


    This astonishing speed made all the spectators pale in fright.


    Wei Ze''s face contorted in shock as two claws formed from pitch-black Divine Power appeared and prepared to snatch Zhao Feng.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s left eye crackled with white lightning. A powerful burst of Tribulation Lightning accompanied by powerful Soul ripples surged toward Wei Ze.


    Kacrack!


    A twisted Tribulation Lightning flame carrying dreadful Soul energy exploded in Wei Ze''s face.


    "Aaaaaah!" Wei Ze''s mind was overwhelmed by pain.


    He was under the impression that the Soul eye-bloodline technique that Zhao Feng used at the start was Zhao Feng''s strongest eye-bloodline technique, resulting in him being too careless. The eye-bloodline technique that Zhao Feng unleashed this time made Wei Ze''s soul feel like it had been struck by lightning, and a heart-rending pain was constantly battering at his consciousness.


    "Sky Destroying Sacred Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated five-colored lightning into a palm and fired it at Wei Ze.


    The enormous palm of five-colored lightning began to constantly push Wei Ze''s body back. The formidable Five Elements energy in the palm battered incessantly at Wei Ze''s body.


    In addition, Zhao Feng''s Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had reached the final level, so he had succeeded in fusing the Tribulation Lightning energy into his Divine Power, increasing the damage it could inflict.


    Boom! Bang!


    Wei Ze''s body was thrown right against the boundary array around the challenge stage, but the might of the five-colored lightning palm had still not dissipated and continued to press down on Wei Ze.


    "Ah¡­!"


    Wei Ze''s screams of pain were so wretched that they made the spectating disciples tremble in fear.


    Thud!


    After a long while, Wei Ze''s body dropped to the ground.


    The area was deathly still, with not a single noise!


    In the first clash, the two were on the same level, but in the second clash, Zhao Feng absolutely crushed Wei Ze.


    "How could he be this strong?"


    Several periphery disciples swallowed their saliva as their minds tried to digest what they just saw. A while ago, they were right outside Zhao Feng''s palace, jeering at and ridiculing him.


    "So strong! He actually defeated Wei Ze!" Pan Hao happily cried out.


    Although he barely understood what was going on in that battle, the important thing was that Zhao Feng had defeated Wei Ze.


    Zhao Feng jumped off the stage and left.


    His first eye-bloodline technique was meant to deliberately fool Wei Ze into letting down his guard. He then used the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame to heavily injure and swiftly defeat Wei Ze!


    Several powerful Divine Senses were roving back and forth in the skies over the Spiritual Race.


    "He managed to defeat Wei Ze! This kid''s strength is at least that of a Rank Four Quasi-God!"


    The strongest Quasi-God prodigy of the Spiritual Race was also just a Rank Four Quasi-God.


    As for the Quasi-God genius of the Ziling Zone''s Life Sacred Land ¨C Quasi-God Guan Long ¨C he had attained the strength of a Rank Four Quasi-God thirty years ago. Given that it was thirty years ago, Quasi-God Guan Long probably now had the strength of a Rank Five Quasi-God.


    "He relied on an eye-bloodline technique to sneak attack, while Wei Ze didn''t even have time to activate his bloodline or even take out a divine weapon. If Wei Ze had been on guard, the outcome would not have been as certain¡­." another powerful Divine Sense coldly harrumphed.


    "Regardless, this child truly is very strong. He can compare to the strongest Quasi-God of the Spiritual Race!" another soul voice somewhat gleefully noted.


    "Ancient God Floating Spirit, you''re Zhao Yufei''s master. You can''t be partial toward her at a time like this¡­."


    Several powerful Divine Senses were carrying out a discussion in the skies.


    "In short, this person has decent strength and potential. It would be best if he could remain with the Spiritual Race, but he is still an outsider, and his bloodline is too lowly¡­."


    They had been secretly discussing how to deal with Zhao Feng, but the strength he showed just now had garnered their interest. If they could make a compromise with Zhao Feng to have him relinquish Zhao Yufei but also stay with the Spiritual Race to serve it, there could be no better result.


    ¡­


    The news of Zhao Feng defeating Wei Ze at the periphery challenge stage swiftly spread.


    "Wei Ze actually lost to Zhao Feng!?"


    "The man Zhao Yufei favors is actually this strong!?"


    The majority of people were left stunned by Zhao Feng''s incredible strength.


    The core disciples of the Spiritual Race were all depressed and furious. Wei Ze was also a core disciple, but he lost, dealing a blow to the dignity of all core disciples.


    "Hmph, that fool!" In a deep blue crystal palace, Zhang Yutong had an ashen expression.


    Suddenly, Zhang Yutong''s eyes turned as if he had thought of some idea. He then left his palace.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Yufei also learned that Zhao Feng had defeated Wei Ze, but her reaction was rather restrained, and she showed little delight.


    Even if Zhao Feng defeated Wei Ze and had decent potential, he was still an outsider to the Spiritual Race. If Zhao Yufei married a powerful True God belonging to the other party of the Spiritual Race, she would able to soothe internal conflicts of the Spiritual Race. If she was married off to a five-star faction of the Ziling Zone, the marriage alliance would have enough to power to intimidate the Blazing Gold Race. What could Zhao Feng ¨C an outsider ¨C bring to the table?


    After defeating Wei Ze, Zhao Feng went to the mission hall and took a simple mission. After finishing this mission, he returned to his residence and resumed his seclusion.


    But after just a few days, someone began to shout outside his palace.


    "Core Disciple Zhang Zhiyue is issuing you a letter of challenge. The time and place are for you to decide!"


    With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Zhao Feng realized that this Zhang Zhiyue was a Rank Five True God.


    Zhang Zhiyue left as soon as he finished dropping off the letter of challenge. Zhao Feng ignored it and resumed his seclusion.


    But not long afterward, another core disciple came and dropped off a letter of challenge. This core disciple was also a Rank Five True God.


    Zhao Feng''s expression turned glum as he began to realize that something was going on.


    Over the next few days, more core disciples delivered letters of challenge to Zhao Feng''s doorstep.


    One day, the core disciple Zhang Yutong personally came to Zhao Feng''s palace.


    "Zhao Feng, I am Zhang Yutong. I issue you a challenge!"


    A sinister smile hung on Zhang Yutong''s lips, and his eyes were cold and harsh.


    The nearby periphery disciples instantly began to chatter among each other. Zhang Yutong was a Rank Six True God, and his body contained the Spiritual Race bloodline. The Rank Six True Gods of mediocre factions were simply no match for him.


    In his residence, Zhao Feng pretended not to hear.


    Slap!


    Zhang Yutong threw down his letter of challenge and left.


    Less than half a month later, a small pile of ten-some letters of challenge had accrued in front of Zhao Feng''s door. The weakest challengers were Rank Five True Gods, and there were also quite a few Rank Six True Gods. Some of the letters of challenge even came from factions besides the Spiritual Race.

 1251 Ancient God Negotiation

    Chapter 1251 - Ancient God Negotiation


    A new scenic spot had appeared in the peripheral disciple area of the Spiritual Race; a tall pile of letters of challenge had accrued in front of an ordinary-looking palace. The weakest challengers in this pile were Rank Five True Gods, but there were Rank Six True Gods too. Some of the challenges had even been issued by people belonging to other factions.


    In this palace, Zhao Feng had a slight frown on his face. This was a lot of letters of challenge, and there were even some from Rank Six True Gods.


    If Zhao Feng used all his trump cards, he was confident that he could contend against a Rank Six, but victory was out of the question. Moreover, these Rank Six True Gods were core disciples of the Spiritual Race, so their strength could not be underestimated.


    "How could the man Zhao Yufei likes be a mere peripheral disciple?" Another jeering voice came from outside.


    "Brother Lu, you have no idea. This person wanted to pursue Zhao Yufei but had no other way except to work his way up from worker disciple. It was only with great difficulty that he managed to get promoted to peripheral disciple," a bystander joked. From the voice, Zhao Feng could tell that this was Jin Wei.


    "Haha, interesting. The man Zhao Yufei likes¡­ this Lu would also like to challenge him." This youth with the surname Lu heartily laughed as he threw down a letter of challenge.


    The surrounding peripheral disciples were all dumbfounded.


    Other than the Spiritual Race and the Blazing Gold Race, the Ziling Zone''s other two five-star factions were Divine Tree Ocean and the Heaven-Shaking Alliance. The people of these two factions practiced both the Body-Refining Dao and the Medicine Dao. When a powerful body-refining expert also had supreme recovery and treatment abilities, they would be able to exhibit their abilities to their maximum extent.


    This Lu youth was a Rank Six True God from Divine Tree Ocean.


    "Haha, Brother Lu, let''s go. This place is for peripheral disciples; there''s nothing see here." Jin Wei wickedly laughed.


    "Perfect. I also need to go and persuade Yufei." This Lu youth was also one of Zhao Yufei''s suitors.


    A few days later, the renowned True God Shatterbone of the Heaven-Shaking Alliance came and threw down his own letter of challenge before proceeding to the core area of the Spiritual Race.


    "Ah, Brother Zhao, you''ll have to protect yourself." Pan Hao sighed.


    He no longer dared to enter Zhao Feng''s palace. Whether it was strength or backing, the owners of these letters of challenge all far surpassed Pan Hao. He was worried that visiting Zhao Feng would only bring him trouble.


    Every one or two days, another letter of challenge would be left on Zhao Feng''s doorstep. During this process, Zhao Feng never once emerged.


    In the core region of the Spiritual race, near a crystalline lake, almost twenty core disciples were gathered, drinking and chatting with each other.


    "Haha, I''d like to see what Zhao Feng does about this!" Jin Wei happily drained his cup and gave a carefree laugh. He wanted to humiliate Zhao Feng twice as much as what he experienced.


    "Brother Zhang, this strategy of yours is truly brilliant, and the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race didn''t stop us!" Another core disciple agreed.


    Zhang Yutong smiled and nodded.


    All of them had issued challenges while proclaiming to be pursuing Zhao Yufei. This was an understandable excuse, the method was not too extreme, and they were still capable of pressuring Zhao Feng. This was also what the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race hoped to see, so why would they stop it?


    In addition, would Zhao Feng have the face to refuse all these letters of challenge from his rivals in love? If Zhao Feng rejected all these challenges, his martial heart would suffer. The heavenly daughter of the Spiritual Race, Zhao Yufei, would also suffer a blow to her dignity.


    "Just what right does this kid have to obtain Sister Yufei''s favor?" The Lu youth coldly snorted.


    "Even more people will be issuing Zhao Feng letters of challenge. If he wasn''t so young and still just a Quasi-God, even my older brother might have dropped off a letter of challenge." Jin Wei smugly smiled.


    "That kid would find even a Rank Five True God hard to deal with, much less a Rank Six True God. If even Ancient Gods started challenging him, it would seem like our Spiritual Race was ''bullying'' him. It wouldn''t be good if such a thing got out." Zhang Yutong squinted and smiled.


    "In a few more days, someone from the Life Sacred Land will come."


    ¡­


    In Zhao Yufei''s private residence, a crisp and charming voice spoke with loud rebuke; "How could they treat Brother Feng like this!?"


    Zhao Yufei was utterly furious.


    "What can be done? They''re all after your hand. They have every excuse to challenge Zhao Feng." Kong Die also sighed.


    She had already begun to find Zhao Feng rather decent when he defeated Wei Ze. He had a decent appearance and impressive strength. Crucially, both sides of this couple were interested in each other.


    Alas, Zhao Feng had no authority and no backing, and no high-level bloodline either. He couldn''t compare to those core disciples, nor could he persuade the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race.


    "I''m going to find Master!" A determined Zhao Yufei prepared to leave.


    At this moment, a pressure as heavy and stable as a mountain descended, causing Zhao Yufei to stop in her tracks.


    "Master!" Zhao Yufei yelped in surprise.


    "Yufei, there are many members of the Spiritual Race''s upper echelon. I alone cannot make the decision on this matter," Ancient God Floating Spirit flatly said.


    In truth, he also found Zhao Feng to be quite excellent.


    If Zhao Feng favored any other girl of the Spiritual Race, the upper echelon members might have been willing to accept it, but he just had to like Zhao Yufei!


    The thickness of Zhao Yufei''s Spiritual Race blood was far greater than that of any other core disciple. This combined with her naturally breathtaking beauty made her the goddess beloved by everyone in the Ziling Zone.


    "I''m going to see Brother Feng¡­." Zhao Yufei''s crystalline eyes seemed to cloud over.


    "You shouldn''t interfere in this matter unless you''re going to reject him and tell him to give up." Ancient God Floating Spirit sighed.


    He had come here to stop Zhao Yufei because this was the unanimous will of the Spiritual Race''s upper echelon.


    ¡­


    Deep in the night, the lands of the Spiritual Race were still as dazzling as they were in the day.


    "Mm? What a powerful Divine Sense." Zhao Feng, who had been cultivating in the Spacetime Robe, immediately emerged.


    Peripheral disciples had the protection of the Spiritual Race, so while they were in seclusion, core disciples would not dare to probe them with their Divine Senses. From this powerful Divine Sense that scanned the area this late in the night, Zhao Feng could already guess at the identity of this visitor.


    Swish!


    A black-robed elder suddenly appeared in Zhao Feng''s palace.


    "Senior!" Zhao Feng rose and bowed.


    Although this black-robed elder did not exert much pressure on Zhao Feng, he gave off an even more dangerous aura than Ancient God Black Heaven.


    "I will speak directly." The black-robed elder apathetically stared at Zhao Feng, a hint of pride on his face.


    Zhao Feng silently nodded.


    "You are very strong, equal to the strongest Quasi-God of my Spiritual Race, but your status and bloodline are both inferior," the black-robed elder bluntly stated.


    "I know." Zhao Feng''s face was emotionless. He knew at first glance what this elder had come here for.


    "There are far too many young talents pursuing Zhao Yufei. With no backing or power, you cannot defeat any one of them. You cannot protect Zhao Yufei," the elder continued.


    The people pursuing Zhao Yufei might have less potential than Zhao Feng, but they were all from powerful factions or had high-level bloodlines.


    "If you are willing to give up on Zhao Yufei, the Spiritual Race promises to treat you like a core disciple, and we will also not impede you if you court any other girl of the Spiritual Race," the elder went on.


    The Spiritual Race had numerous disciples, and one could easily see the revered status the core disciples held. In addition, the elder was also implying that, even if Zhao Feng went after Quasi-God Luo Yu, who was only slightly lacking compared to Zhao Yufei, the Spiritual Race would not interfere.


    Such generous conditions would be enough to make countless youths of the Ziling Zone go mad, but the look in Zhao Feng''s eyes didn''t change.


    "If Yufei agrees, I have nothing to say." Zhao Feng''s face was stern.


    His brow had not even creased in front of all the temptations the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race had laid out before him. Moreover, the fact that this elder had come to find was clear proof that Zhao Yufei did not agree. He knew that Zhao Yufei was also enduring significant pressure, but if she did not agree, why should he submit!?


    "The one I''m asking is you!" The black-robed elder''s gaze instantly focused.


    The enormous aura of an Ancient God slowly began to seep into Zhao Feng''s surroundings.


    Zhao Feng was startled. This elder only released a part of his aura, but it felt like an enormous mountain had pressed down on his body and made it impossible for him to move. This Ancient God was even stronger than he had imagined.


    "Consider this offer carefully." Seeing that Zhao Feng was not speaking, the black-robed elder threw down these words and vanished.


    Tens of thousands of li up in the sky, several powerful Divine Senses gathered for a meeting.


    "That kid refused?"


    "Ai, that girl Yufei is also very stubborn!"


    "I''d like to see how this kid deals with those letters of challenge¡­."


    The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race were unanimous in their approval of the letters of challenge. They believed that the core disciples of the Spiritual Race had executed a superb plan.


    "I''ll speak to him again after a while. I''m confident that it won''t be long before he crumbles under the pressure."


    ¡­


    The matter of the letters of challenge truly was a large stone weighing on Zhao Feng''s heart. If he refused all of these people who wanted Zhao Yufei''s love, what right did he have to be together with her?


    "It seems like I need to push for the Heavenly Divine Realm as quickly as possible!" Zhao Feng muttered.


    Everyone in the Spiritual Race believed that he would be able to attain Rank Four at most, but Zhao Feng had some confidence of attaining Rank Five. If he succeeded in breaking through and becoming a Rank Five True God, even the Spiritual Race would have to regard him seriously.


    Moreover, at that time, his strength would experience a quintessential transformation, and his Soul Intent would rapidly increase. He would even have a chance of defeating a Rank Six True God!


    His consciousness sank into the mysterious golden ball in his God Eye Dimension.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng appeared in the Ancient Dream Realm. After seating himself cross-legged on the ground, he activated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Three Tribulation Lightning God Crystals floated in front of him, countless slivers of white Tribulation Lightning flowing out of them and engulfing Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng''s surroundings suddenly transformed into a forbidden zone of Tribulation Lightning.


    Several days later, a white ancient beast in the shape of a flood dragon threw an interspatial ring next to Zhao Feng and left. Not much later, Zhao Feng opened his eyes and sent his mind into the ring.


    "Not bad! Even an Ancient God would find it hard to resist such resources." Zhao Feng''s eyes sparkled.


    He had ordered Zhao Wan to search the Ancient Dream Realm for these cultivation resources so that he could use them for his breakthrough.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out all the cultivation resources. The enormous ripples of energy made all the surrounding ancient beasts tremble in fear.


    Without another word, Zhao Feng began to madly absorb the medicinal energy in these resources as he pushed to bring his two techniques to completion.


    One day, Zhao Feng''s energy suddenly soared, and a lightning-infused physical pressure swept through his surroundings. The earth trembled as the ground for a hundred li around him subsided. Within this depression, the power of Tribulation Lightning ran rampant.


    "Both techniques have finally achieved completion!" Zhao Feng opened his bright eyes, his expression glowing with vigor.


    "Now is the time to break into the Heavenly Divine Realm!" Zhao Feng rose and began to find a good place to break through.


    At the same time, many essential points and skills necessary to break into the Heavenly Divine Realm appeared in his mind.

 1252 Breaking Through into the Heavenly Divine Realm I

    Chapter 1252 - Breaking Through into the Heavenly Divine Realm (I)


    A few days later, Zhao Feng came to a black forest.


    The trees here were called Black Congealed Wood. Their branches had the abnormally savage appearances of steel thorns.


    There was a low-quality God Crystal vein beneath this forest.


    "Let''s do it here!"


    Zhao Feng went to the center of this forest and seated himself cross-legged on the ground.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng removed some ancient resources from his God Eye Dimension that he had managed to successfully duplicate. After that, Zhao Feng took in another batch of ancient resources and began to duplicate them.


    Several days later, another ancient beast came to Zhao Feng''s side and dropped off an Interspatial Dimension before leaving. At the same time, the last batch of resources had finished being duplicated in the God Eye Dimension.


    "I now have a ninety percent chance of becoming a Rank Five True God!" Zhao Feng confidently declared.


    "The first step in breaking through to the True God level is forming a Divine Stage."


    Zhao Feng''s consciousness completely submerged into the Divine Power Vortex in his body. A massive disk of five-colored light that was streaked with strands of white lightning began to slowly revolve within his body.


    A normal person''s Divine Power Vortex would just be a whirlpool, but Zhao Feng''s Divine Power Vortex was a five-colored disk of light. From this, one could see just how tough and condensed Zhao Feng''s Divine Power Vortex was. The Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Divine Power it produced was also incredibly powerful.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Five-colored lightning was drawn from the center of the Divine Power Vortex. Zhao Feng quickly managed to create a rectangular structure.


    There were nine ranks of True Gods, and each rank was a Divine Stage. The lowest Divine Stage had to be extremely stable and tough. Otherwise, it would not be able to bear the weight of the next Divine Stages, foreordaining that one would never be able to become a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    The formation of Divine Stages required extracting energy from the Divine Power Vortex as well as one''s own strength and potential.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Wondrous streams of five-colored lightning continued to surge out of the Divine Power Vortex, slowly filling out the first Divine Stage through a unique construction method.


    "I can''t be careless with the first Divine Stage!"


    Zhao Feng''s mind was completely focused on forming the Divine Stage.


    The first Divine Stage was of vital importance. He even added his own life energy and bloodline energy into the Divine Stage.


    At the same time, various kinds of cultivation resources began to emerge from the Interspatial Dimension in front of Zhao Feng. These precious resources were mostly cultivation treasures containing Five Elements power, but some were specifically meant to form the Divine Stage.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The energy in these materials was rapidly drained and absorbed into the Divine Stage.


    Zhao Feng spent an entire month forming the first Divine Stage. During the process, he was constantly using the God''s Spiritual Eye to coordinate the formation of the Divine Stage and also examine every inch of it so that the number of flaws in this Divine Stage could be minimized.


    "The boost in strength I got from completing the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was far more than I imagined. I might even have a ten percent chance of becoming a Rank Six True God!" Zhao Feng began to speculate as he observed the formation of the Divine Stage.


    This thought made his breathing become a little hurried. He had never even heard of anyone who was able to directly attain Rank Six. But now, Zhao Feng seemed to have a tiny chance of doing so!


    ¡­


    In the outside world, someone would drop off a new letter of challenge at Zhao Feng''s doorstep every few days.


    "He''s been inside there for two months now!"


    "I think he doesn''t dare to come out. He probably plans to hide there forever to avoid it all!"


    Several peripheral disciples saw that Zhao Feng hadn''t come out in two months and became bold enough to brazenly jeer at him.


    "If he never comes out, then after ten months, he''ll be driven out of the Spiritual Race!" An inner disciple who happened to be passing by coldly laughed.


    Peripheral disciples had to complete a mission every month. However, some peripheral disciples, because they were in secluded cultivation or had some other unique circumstance, could not do this mission. The race had also considered this point and allowed the mandatory mission to be pushed back, but this mission could be delayed for only a year at most. If Zhao Feng did not contribute anything to the race for a year, he would be driven out.


    In truth, a majority of peripheral disciples spent several years in seclusion, but they always finished their missions in advance. However, Zhao Feng didn''t know he could do that.


    Suddenly, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi around Zhao Feng''s palace began to inexplicably pulse. A large but weak whirlpool began to form with his palace as the center, absorbing the slivers of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. At the same time, a rectangular image seemed to be forming atop this massive whirlpool!


    "This is¡­ forming a Divine Stage, breaking through to become a God¡­!" the inner disciple said in shock as he raised his head.


    "He''s breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm?"


    This news was soon spread to the surrounding area, causing many peripheral disciples to gather.


    "It seems that Zhao Feng''s hand has been forced, so he''s started to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm!"


    "Hah, if he could defeat Wei Ze, then he can make Rank Four True God at most. That means he still can''t deal with these letters of challenge!"


    The peripheral disciples began to chat with each other.


    "That''s not right¡­ why are the phenomena from breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm so weak?" The inner disciple quickly left.


    ¡­


    By the crystalline lake, Zhang Yutong gave a playful smile after hearing the news.


    "Brother Zhang, what''s up?" the Lu youth from the Divine Tree Ocean immediately asked.


    "Zhao Feng is currently breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm!" Zhang Yutong''s smile turned wicked.


    Everyone else was stunned by these words, and then they began to laugh.


    "Does he think he will become a match for us once he becomes a God?"


    "It looks to me like he didn''t have any other option except to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm to increase his strength!"


    Quite a few core disciples began to ridicule Zhao Feng, inwardly feeling rather proud.


    "Let''s go. Since Zhao Feng has chosen to break through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, that means that, once he''s succeeded, he will accept our challenges." Zhang Yutong suddenly got up.


    "Brother Zhang, you''re overthinking it. It looks to me that he''s using the land of the Spiritual Race to break through into the Heavenly Divine Realm. After he succeeds, he''ll leave the Spiritual Race on his own!" a core disciple commented.


    Afterward, the core disciples that were gathered in this place dispersed.


    ¡­


    Back in the peripheral area, the crowd gathering outside Zhao Feng''s palace was getting larger.


    "Zhao Feng''s hand has been forced, but even if he breaks through into the Heavenly Divine Realm, he won''t be able to escape his dilemma!" Zhao Lanyi and his younger cousin coldly stared at the palace.


    "Get out of the way! A lot of core disciples are coming!" A voice came from the back of the crowd.


    The crowd of peripheral disciples and inner disciples near Zhao Feng''s palace immediately scattered. The core disciples arrived soon after.


    "So, he was breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm in another dimension." Zhang Yutong''s brow rose as he casually noted.


    The worldly phenomena produced by breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm were enormous, but there was only a rather faint Yuan Qi whirlpool around Zhao Feng''s palace while the image of the Divine Stage was extremely weak. This was proof that Zhao Feng was breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm in another dimension.


    But this was very normal. It would be far too foolish for Zhao Feng to try breaking through directly in his residence. If his enemies were willing to throw aside everything to scheme against and thwart him, his failure would be inevitable. His efforts would be foiled at the final step.


    Pan Hao also arrived.


    "What''s he planning here? Even if he succeeds in breaking through to the Heavenly Divine Realm, he still won''t be a match for all those challengers!" Pan Hao was rather concerned.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Yuan Qi whirlpool doubled in size as the second Divine Stage began to take form.


    "Rank Two of the Heavenly Divine Realm¡­." Zhang Yutong softly said.


    ¡­


    "Yufei, Yufei, Zhao Feng is breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm!" Kong Die rushed to Zhao Yufei''s residence as she shouted.


    "Brother Feng is breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm?" Within her violet crystal palace, Zhao Yufei was rather surprised, but she soon became rather angry.


    In her view, Zhao Feng had been forced by the pressure of the Spiritual Race to break through into the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    "What is this kid trying to do?" Near Zhao Yufei''s palace complex, Ancient God Floating Spirit muttered to himself.


    His first feeling was that, since Zhao Feng was breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm to raise his strength, he was refusing the compromise and choosing to resist. But even if Zhao Feng reached Rank Four, he would still be no match for his challengers!


    "Could this child be confident in reaching Rank Five?" A bold idea floated to the surface of Ancient God Floating Spirit''s mind.


    He had been present for Zhao Feng and Wei Ze''s battle. He always felt that Zhao Feng had been hiding a great deal of his strength.


    "Master!" At this moment, Zhao Yufei came to the entrance of her palace. She knew that her master was nearby to stop her from going to see Zhao Feng.


    "Go," Ancient God Floating Spirit flatly declared.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Yufei transformed into a stream of violet light that vanished into the horizon.


    At the same time, Ancient God Floating Spirit''s figure vanished into space.


    ¡­


    Outside Zhao Feng''s palace, the Yuan Qi whirlpool was getting larger and larger. It was gradually growing more tangible and was slowly being dyed with five colors. The two Divine Stage images also slowly began to gain color.


    Zhao Yufei arrived in a flash of violet light.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei had a somewhat worried look.


    So quickly!


    Clouds began to roil and wind began to blow as several transcendent existences appeared high in the sky.


    "If this kid is choosing to break into the Heavenly Divine Realm, does that mean that he is refusing the compromise?" The black-robed Ancient God''s tone was rather cold.


    This was the Spiritual Race Ancient God who had visited Zhao Feng earlier to negotiate with him.


    "Regardless of what it is, once he successfully breaks through, this matter will come to a close," Ancient God Floating Spirit nonchalantly said.


    "But this child''s dimension is rather unusual. It is so in tune with the Heaven Earth framework of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!" A different Ancient God sighed in wonder.


    Bzzzz! Boooom!


    The five-colored Yuan Qi whirlpool once more expanded. At the same time, the image of a third Divine Stage slowly appeared.


    "He''s already Rank Three!"


    "Suffused with a formidable Five Elements energy! What a tough Divine Stage!" Ancient God Floating Spirit''s eyes flashed.


    With his experience, he could see the status of Zhao Feng''s Divine Stages by simply observing these images.


    ¡­


    In the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng''s Divine Power Vortex had already been halved in size. Above the Divine Power Vortex, three Divine Stages had been formed.


    These Divine Stages were made of transparent crystal and were flowing with light while profound and mysterious runes that seemed to contain the Great Dao flowed around them.


    "Continue¡­ the fourth stage!"


    The three Divine Stages in Zhao Feng''s body suddenly exploded with five-colored lightning as they attempted to create the outlines for the fourth Divine Stage.


    But at this moment, he momentarily paused.


    Zhao Feng''s focus was somewhat diverted.


    "This is¡­?"


    His expression shifted in surprise. He had discovered that several strands of his faint golden hair had begun to change color!

 1253 Breaking Through into the Heavenly Divine Realm II

    Chapter 1253 - Breaking Through into the Heavenly Divine Realm (II)


    The strands of hair seemed to have a life of their own, elegantly dancing in the air. The hairs were silver, but they shifted between red, yellow, green, blue, black. The shift between each color was subtle and natural.


    Of course, Zhao Feng was in no mood to carefully observe these changes. He only knew that, while he was in the crucial stage of forming his Divine Stages, his God''s Spiritual Eye was also undergoing a transformation.


    "What do I do?" Zhao Feng was quite worried.


    Based on his past experiences, the transformation of the God''s Spiritual Eye was highly likely to make him fall asleep, and there was no guarantee as to how long he would sleep.


    He had already formed three Divine Stages. If the God''s Spiritual Eye''s transformation made him fall asleep at the crucial stage, that would be foul news. If he failed in forming a Divine Stage, he would be forced back to the start and would need an extremely long time to recover.


    However, the pressure of the Spiritual Race was weighing heavy on him. He needed to break through into the Heavenly Divine Realm to resolve these threats.


    After hesitating for a while, Zhao Feng decided to continue breaking through. Based on his past experience, his hair changing color was a sign of his God Eye''s transformation, but the actual transformation would only occur later.


    "I have to finish breaking through before the God Eye transforms!" Zhao Feng''s eyes glimmered with resolve.


    ¡­


    Outside the palace, the speed at which the five-colored whirlpool and the Divine Stages absorbed Yuan Qi suddenly slowed down. This change was to the great consternation of the watching crowd.


    "Could it be over? Only three Divine Stages?"


    "Heh, it seems like that''s all he is. Although he can defeat a Rank Four True God, his potential is limited."


    A few of the core disciples began to ridicule Zhao Feng. The vast majority of the Spiritual Race''s core disciples were all capable of forming three Divine Stages.


    "No, this can''t be all¡­." In the distance, Zhao Yufei believed in Zhao Feng. Three Divine Stages could not be the end.


    At this moment, another Divine Stage image appeared above the palace.


    "Fourth Divine Stage!"


    The crowd was in an uproar! Being able to defeat a Rank Four True God didn''t mean that one could form four Divine Stages, but forming four Divine Stages meant that one was extremely talented.


    In the sky, the Ancient Gods also seemed rather affected.


    "This kid might not have a high-level bloodline, but his potential''s not bad!"


    "These four Divine Stages are all extremely sturdy. Once they''re formed, he will be invincible among Rank Four and capable of fighting Rank Fives!"


    The sharp eyes of these Ancient Gods were able to judge what was going on through these blurry phenomena.


    At this moment, several figures appeared near the crowd.


    "Those are people from the Life Sacred Land!"


    The crowd immediately noticed the three young disciples who had appeared.


    "To think that Brother Xiahou would honor us with your presence¡­."


    The nearby core disciples immediately went up to greet him.


    The Life Sacred Land was the overlord faction of the Ziling Zone. Even the Spiritual Race would have to bow its head to this faction.


    This group of three was led by a young and muscular man wearing a clean and simple light green robe. His two dark green eyes sparkled like crystals.


    "What''s happening here?" the muscular man asked as he looked in surprise at Zhao Feng''s palace.


    This person was the Rank Six True God Xiahou Wu of the Life Sacred Land, a holder of the Eye of Life and one of Zhao Yufei''s pursuers.


    "Brother Xiahou, you also know that many disciples in the Spiritual Race want to court Zhao Yufei, but this kid somehow managed to win Zhao Yufei''s heart. Thus, we all issued letters of challenge. This kid didn''t have enough strength, so he rushed to break through into the Heavenly Divine Realm¡­." Zhang Yutong gave a welcoming smile.


    Even though he was a Rank Six True God with the Spiritual Race bloodline, he was no match for Xiahou Wu. In addition, Xiahou Wu''s faction was one level higher than the Spiritual Race.


    "Brother Xiahou, have you also come to challenge him?" another core disciple asked.


    "That''s not necessary," Xiahou Wu coldly said as he turned his eyes to the distant Zhao Yufei.


    In his view, even if Zhao Feng broke into the Heavenly Divine Realm, he was still no match for all these people from the Spiritual Race, so his intervention was unnecessary.


    In addition, Zhao Feng was still the man favored by Zhao Yufei. If he participated in Zhao Feng''s humiliation, he would definitely earn Zhao Yufei''s ire. It was far better to have the people of the Spiritual Race drive Zhao Feng away while he comforted and soothed Zhao Yufei.


    "Right, right! An insignificant person like this isn''t worth Brother Xiahou''s trouble!" Zhang Yutong smiled as he continued his flattery.


    In the sky, the Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race were also examining the three people from the Life Sacred Land.


    "Their bodies are very strong, and they also have impressive recovery abilities. They just need some divine weapons that can defend their souls to be invincible against those of the same rank."


    "As expected of prodigies of a Sacred Land. The core disciples of the Spiritual Race truly appear inferior in comparison."


    ¡­


    Kabooom!


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the Spiritual Race was furiously absorbed by the five-colored whirlpool and transported to Zhao Feng''s body in the Ancient Dream Realm. At the same time, the low-quality God Crystal vein beneath Zhao Feng provided an endless source of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and Divine Power for him to absorb. As for those treasures he had prepared for his breakthrough, they had long ago been consumed.


    Half a month later, the fourth Divine Stage was successfully formed.


    "Next is the fifth stage!"


    Zhao Feng was both excited and worried.


    At this moment, a little less than half of his golden hair had become silver. This silver hair was also slowly changing colors as it naturally danced in the air. It was slowly becoming more dream-like.


    His left eye was also beginning to show signs of fatigue. The mysterious golden ball in his God Eye Dimension was rapidly revolving, and its color was also shifting. The golden ball was gradually turning silver while a dream-like and indistinct five-colored radiance rippled on its surface. It was as if this small ball contained a dream-like liquid.


    ¡­


    When the outline of the fifth Divine Stage took form, the outside world was thrown into an uproar.


    "The fifth Divine Stage! This brat is truly bold!"


    "Haha, if you start to form a Divine Stage but don''t have the strength to complete it, all the previous effort will go to waste!"


    Quite a few disciples began to laugh. However, they were also rather envious. They envied Zhao Feng''s courage to form a fifth Divine Stage, envied that he could even produce the nascent form of the fifth Divine Stage.


    "Hmph, he overestimates himself." Xiahou Wu coldly snorted.


    Only the best Quasi-Gods of a Sacred Land could attain Rank Five, such as the Life Sacred Land''s Quasi-God Guan Long.


    "Haha, this brat is probably going to fail. Every failed attempt to break through into the Heavenly Divine Realm will result in a loss of potential. He''ll be crippled." Zhang Yutong smiled.


    If he failed to break into the Heavenly Divine Realm, Zhao Feng wouldn''t have the face to remain in the Spiritual Race.


    In the sky, the observing Ancient Gods were all sighs.


    "As long as Zhao Feng was willing to compromise, the Spiritual Race could have given him its full support, and it wouldn''t even have been a problem if he took a liking to Quasi-God Luo Yu. But now, that''s all impossible¡­" The black-robed Ancient God gave an apathetic smile.


    Ai, I hope he can succeed! Ancient God Floating Spirit mentally sighed.


    In his view, Zhao Feng was taking a gamble. If he could attain Rank Five, the Spiritual Race would not able to interfere with his relationship with Zhao Yufei. But if he failed, it meant that he wasn''t a good fit for Zhao Yufei.


    "Mm? An Ancient God is approaching!" The Spiritual Race''s Ancient Gods immediately began to warily look toward the distance.


    Brrrooom!


    A seething violet cloud linked together with the thick clouds that obscured the Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race.


    "Good Sir, who are you? For what purpose have you come to my Spiritual Race?" the black-robed Ancient God asked with a stern and dignified expression.


    He could see that this was an Ancient God of the Violet Night Race. The Violet Night Race was ranked 29th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, far below the Spiritual Race.


    "I am Ancient God Night Dragon of the Gulong Zone''s Violet Night Hall!" Ancient God Night Dragon messaged. "I will not hide the truth from you. In pursuit of someone, I have come to the Ziling Zone. This person has committed a terrible crime in the Gulong Zone, even imprisoning many prodigies of my Violet Night Hall."


    Ancient God Night Dragon''s eyes shone with hatred as he cast his gaze toward Zhao Feng''s palace.


    "Him?" The Spiritual Race Ancient Gods were taken aback.


    The Ziling Zone and the Gulong Zone were very far from each other, so they really didn''t know what had happened in the Gulong Zone. However, for Zhao Feng to have made such a mess in the Gulong Zone was truly extraordinary.


    "If the Spiritual Race turns this child over to me, the Violet Night Hall will be effusive in its thanks." Ancient God Night Dragon frankly made his request while promising compensation.


    The Spiritual Race Ancient Gods began to think.


    Although the Violet Night Race was inferior to the Spiritual Race, it was also a five-star faction. Moreover, the reward offered by Ancient God Night Dragon was worth hundreds of thousands of Zhao Fengs.


    However, if they simply handed over a disciple of the Spiritual Race, they would disappoint all the other disciples and thoroughly lose the faith of Zhao Yufei.


    "I know of all your concerns, but after Zhao Feng breaks through, he must go out for a mission. It''s very unsafe in the outside world, and accidents are unavoidable¡­." Ancient God Night Dragon gave a sinister smile.


    The Spiritual Race Ancient Gods naturally knew what he meant. As long aa they agreed, Ancient God Night Dragon would secretly kill Zhao Feng and not implicate them in the matter.


    The Spiritual Race Ancient Gods had pensive looks in their eyes as they began to discuss the matter.


    "Zhao Feng has always been a problem. Now that he''s taking a risk in trying for Rank Five True God and is very likely to fail, why not use him in an exchange with Ancient God Night Dragon? We can get rid of Zhao Feng while also putting an end to Zhao Yufei''s stubbornness." The black-robed Ancient God''s eyes coldly twinkled.


    "This is rather improper." Ancient God Floating Spirit objected.


    "I feel that Zhao Yufei is a better match with the Life Sacred Land''s Xiahou Wu!"


    "This Zhao Feng is too impulsive. How could he try for Rank Five?"


    The other Ancient Gods didn''t directly reply, but they agreed with the black-robed Ancient God in a roundabout fashion.


    But at this moment, a ruckus came from below.


    "The fifth Divine Stage is almost finished!"


    "Impossible! Zhao Feng really has the ability to form five Divine Stages?"


    Many disciples were stunned and began to doubt this outcome.


    "The fifth Divine Stage is almost finished! But how!?"


    Zhang Yutong was so shocked that he seemed on the verge of going mad. The image of the fifth Divine Stage was on the verge of completion!


    Directly attaining Rank Five was something only the Quasi-God prodigies of the Sacred Lands could achieve!


    Even the Spiritual Race Ancient Gods in the sky didn''t dare to believe this fact.


    Meanwhile, Ancient God Night Dragon had an extremely gloomy expression, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible. Zhao Feng''s potential struck fear into his heart. If he was allowed to mature, he would be an enormous threat to Violet Night Hall. He needed to be killed.


    ¡­


    In the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng''s lips curved into a smile.


    "The fifth Divine Stage is almost complete, but I don''t have enough strength to form the sixth Divine Stage!"


    Zhao Feng found it somewhat a pity.


    All his attention was on the Divine Stages as he slowly completed the fifth Divine Stage.


    However, at this moment, the mysterious ball in his God Eye Dimension began to revolve at an incredible speed. A multi-colored dream-like radiance had formed within it!


    As this dream-like light seeped out of the ball, Zhao Feng felt an intense mental pain and fell unconscious.


    Outside, the massive five-colored whirlpool and the still-forming fifth Divine Stage above Zhao Feng''s palace suddenly vanished!

 1254 Breaking Through into the Heavenly Divine Realm III

    Chapter 1254 - Breaking Through into the Heavenly Divine Realm (III)


    The massive five-colored whirlpool around Zhao Feng''s palace and the fifth Divine Stage that was on the verge of completion suddenly vanished.


    This occurrence had the eyes of everyone nearby flying wide open in shock.


    "This¡­ what''s going on?"


    "The phenomena from breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm suddenly disappeared!"


    The shocked and frenzied crowd was immediately struck dumb.


    Zhao Feng had clearly been on the cusp of forming his fifth Divine Stage, but why had the worldly phenomena suddenly vanished?


    But everyone quickly came to the understanding that Zhao Feng had almost certainly failed with his breakthrough.


    "Haha, as I said, there was no way that brat could succeed!"


    "Directly attaining Rank Five is something only the best prodigies of a Sacred Land can do. He really overestimated himself!"


    The nervous Zhang Yutong instantly breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhao Feng really had managed to reach Rank Five, he would have been on the same level as a Quasi-God genius of a Sacred Land. In that case, the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race would no longer try to stop him from having a relationship with Zhao Yufei.


    But Zhao Feng failed! Zhang Yutong gave a cold smile.


    "That''s not right. If the formation of a Divine Stage fails, one Divine Stage after the other would collapse, but that image of the fifth Divine Stage vanished very abruptly!" Xiahou Wu''s eyes darkened as he began to carefully examine the palace.


    "Impossible! Brother Feng can''t fail!" In the distance, Zhao Yufei''s expression was in disarray.


    "Brother Zhao, what''s going on with you?" Pan Hao was also extremely worried.


    In the sky, the watching Ancient Gods were also dumbfounded.


    "The worldly phenomena disappeared. Did he fail?" An Ancient God frowned.


    From the phenomena, he had been able to tell that Zhao Feng had a very high chance of forming his fifth Divine Stage. Why had the phenomena suddenly disappeared?


    Something strange is going on. I can still sense that confluence of energy between the Divine Stage and the world¡­. Ancient God Floating Spirit mentally muttered to himself, but he wasn''t too sure; the energy was far too weak.


    ¡­


    In the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng''s consciousness had blacked out after experiencing a bout of intense pain.


    However, this pain lasted for only a brief moment. He did not fully lapse into sleep, and he quickly came to his senses.


    "This is¡­?"


    When Zhao Feng''s consciousness recovered, his mind was immediately stricken with shock. He discovered that his Soul Intent was no longer in his body but had fused with the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Everything in the range of one million li was under his control. Moreover, his range of control was still expanding.


    "Not good! My body! The Divine Stage!" Zhao Feng''s mind immediately focused on the black forest.


    With his soul fused with the Ancient Dream Realm, his body was empty. The strength in his body could not go anywhere without the directions from his mind, meaning that the formation of his Divine Stage had been interrupted midway, resulting in a failure at the last step.


    But when Zhao Feng''s focused his mind on the black forest, he was immediately drawn to his hair. The hair was shining silver, but it seemed to be flowing in the air with a dreamy multi-colored luster.


    Zhao Feng then focused his mind on his left eye. The condition of his left eye was in the same state of dream-like silver as his hair.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Suddenly, a multicolored fog began to seep out of his left eye, engulfing his body.


    At this moment, the enormous Yuan Qi whirlpool once more manifested with his body as its center. Five crystalline Divine Stages appeared overhead, thrumming with five-colored light. The Divine Stage on the very top was still just a tiny sliver from completion.


    "The Divine Stage didn''t collapse!" Zhao Feng was stunned, excited, but also deeply confused.


    But at this moment, he saw something that left him absolutely astounded. The fifth Divine Stage in the air was actually filling up and completing itself.


    "How could this be? My soul is already fused with the Ancient Dream Realm, so how can the Divine Stage form without my mind controlling the process?"


    In his shock, Zhao Feng sent his mind into his cross-legged body.


    "This is¡­!?" Zhao Feng''s face froze in surprise.


    The fifth Divine Stage above his dantian was shrouded in a dreamy mist. At this moment, this dreamy mist was absorbing the other energy in his body and slowly fusing it into his fifth Divine Stage.


    "The strength of the God Eye is helping me form the Divine Stage!" This was the conclusion Zhao Feng reached after some thought.


    He also sensed that he seemed to have become even more harmoniously fused with the world of the Ancient Dream Realm. This feeling was like the world had been a part of his body all along.


    "It seems like my God Eye is in the middle of awakening, which is constantly increasing my control over the Ancient Dream Realm!" Zhao Feng was positively delighted.


    At this moment, he was the god of a world.


    Without another word, Zhao Feng began to gather the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi from one million li around him. At the same time, he also moved a different low-quality God Crystal vein several hundred thousand li away to beneath the black forest.


    "I wonder how the God Eye will change this time."


    Zhao Feng finally put aside the matter of the Divine Stage and began to ponder another question.


    The God Eye transformation this time was very strange. He had not fallen asleep. Instead, his soul had fused with the Ancient Dream Realm. Thus, he could not see what was going on inside the God Eye Dimension.


    Hwooom!


    Within the God Eye Dimension, the mysterious golden sphere was still spinning, shedding the dreamy mist. The golden ball itself had transformed into a ball of dream-like silver.


    Suddenly, a dazzling point of light appeared on the silver ball. The point of light began to stretch out into a short line as if it was attempting to draw something.


    ¡­


    The link between the Ancient Dream Realm and the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was Zhao Feng''s left eye. As of this moment, his left eye was undergoing a transformation, so the Origin energy of the God Eye had been cut off from absorbing the essence of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. For this reason, no phenomena from breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm could be seen in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "Haha, he actually tried to make a fifth Divine Stage! He really didn''t know what was best for him!"


    "Now that he''s failed, he doesn''t even dare to show his face!"


    Those people in the crowd who had been given quite a scare by Zhao Feng now began to deride him.


    "Mm? This energy¡­!" Zhang Yutong''s eyes flashed. Just a moment ago, he suddenly sensed a unique energy in the air.


    "How? This is the God energy that one obtains when one has received the acknowledgment of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods while breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm!" Zhang Yutong inwardly trembled.


    Didn''t he fail? Then why does that energy still exist!?


    At the same time, several core disciples and those individuals with powerful Divine Senses or sharp observation skills had also noticed this point. All of them turned gloomy and quiet.


    In the sky, the Ancient Gods were also a little confused.


    "It doesn''t seem like he failed," Ancient God Floating Spirit nonchalantly said.


    "Just what''s going on here?" Another Ancient God was finding it rather hard to understand what was happening.


    On the side, Ancient God Night Dragon''s eyes were twinkling.


    This kid clearly had a good chance of reaching Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm, but just what happened at the end that made the phenomena disappear while that God energy symbolizing the world''s acknowledgment still remains?


    After thinking for a few moments, Ancient God Night Dragon suddenly said, "Good Sirs, I must bid farewell."


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Night Dragon vanished.


    If Zhao Feng had failed to reach the Heavenly Divine Realm, the Spiritual Race would say nothing if Ancient God Night Dragon killed him. However, his intuition told him that Zhao Feng''s breakthrough attempt was still not over.


    Then it was very likely that Zhao Feng would attain Rank Five. If he wanted to kill Zhao Feng then, the Spiritual Race would certainly try to stop him.


    Thus, Ancient God Night Dragon chose to leave and observe from the shadows. Whether Zhao Feng succeeded or failed, he would have to die.


    The Spiritual Race Ancient Gods didn''t have time to worry about Ancient God Night Dragon''s departure. They were currently carefully inspecting Zhao Feng''s palace in the hopes of seeing something.


    "Brother Zhang? If that kid failed at reaching the Heavenly Divine Realm, what are we still waiting around here for?" Jin Wei curiously asked, his face all smiles.


    "Oh, I know! Brother Zhang is definitely waiting for that kid to come out so you can humiliate him!" Jin Wei''s lips curled into a wicked smile.


    "Shut your mouth!" Zhang Yutong coldly barked as his eyes remained fixed on the palace.


    "You¡­!" Jin Wei''s face immediately contorted in rage, but he managed to restrain himself. His backing was far more powerful than Zhang Yutong''s, but his talent and strength were far inferior.


    In addition, Jin Wei was beginning to notice that something was wrong. Zhao Feng had clearly failed, but the crowd still hadn''t dispersed, and all of them had rather pensive and solemn looks on their faces.


    Whoosh!


    At this moment, the God energy outside Zhao Feng''s palace thickened.


    Zhang Yutong''s eyes focused, and his face grew even more depressed. He was now sure that Zhao Feng was still breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    As that confluence of energy between the Divine Stages and the world grew more distinct, more and more people began to realize this.


    The Ancient Dream Realm:


    "Haha, the sixth Divine Stage!"


    Laughter rang throughout the world. It was like the heavens themselves were laughing. This strange happenstance caused all the nearby ancient beasts to tremble in fear.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In the middle of the black forest, above the madly spinning five-colored Yuan Qi whirlpool, a sixth Divine Stage now loomed!


    "Even I wasn''t confident in forming six Divine Stages, but with the transformation of the God Eye and my soul fused with the Ancient Dream Realm, my God Eye has actually helped me condense my sixth Divine Stage!"


    He had truly never expected this. The God''s Spiritual Eye had once more helped him enormously, helping him form the sixth Divine Stage that he had no confidence in forming.


    "Just this sixth Divine Stage alone is a wonderful surprise. I wonder what other changes my left eye''s transformation will cause¡­"


    Zhao Feng found himself rather anticipating this, but suddenly, Zhao Feng''s mind was shocked once more.


    "This¡­ this is¡­!?" Even his voice was shaking.


    Above the sixth Divine Stage, the outlines of a seventh were slowly taking form. The outlines of the seventh Divine Stage were illusory, flickering in and out of existence as if it was about to extinguish at any moment.

 1256 The First Battle

    Chapter 1256 - The First Battle


    "Who''s he?"


    At first glance, many people didn''t recognize Zhao Feng. His hair and eye of dream-like silver were far too dazzling and enchanting, making it seem like Zhao Feng''s entire nature had undergone a massive transformation.


    Quite a few female disciples felt their hearts thump upon seeing Zhao Feng and were almost immediately enraptured by his appearance.


    "What beautiful hair!" an enchanted female disciple softly said.


    "Brother Feng''s eye and hair¡­!" In the distance, Zhao Yufei had a look of surprise while a look of tender affection appeared in her eyes.


    She knew that, each time Zhao Feng''s God Eye transformed, his hair''s color would also change. This time, she sensed that Zhao Feng''s God Eye had undergone a massive transformation. As Zhao Feng stood there with a relaxed expression, exuding boundless confidence and indifference, her worried and anxious heart inexplicably calmed down.


    "Yufei, what''s happened to him?" Kong Die nudged Zhao Yufei''s shoulder and murmured in shock. Before, she believed that Zhao Feng wasn''t a good match for Zhao Yufei, but at this moment, she impulsively wanted to try to compete with Zhao Yufei for Zhao Feng.


    "This kid¡­! While breaking through to become a True God, he even had the time to dye his hair!?"


    The majority of the young men in the crowd stared enviously at Zhao Feng.


    In the sky, the transcendent figures of the Spiritual Race Ancient Gods were carefully examining Zhao Feng, their eyes glimmering.


    "His hair is very special. Each strand seems to have a life of its own, and they reflect light according to the surrounding environment¡­."


    "Just what happened while he was breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm?"


    The Spiritual Race Ancient Gods also couldn''t help but be curious.


    "Hold on, the energy from his body¡­!" As Ancient God Floating Spirit examined Zhao Feng, his expression twisted in disbelief.


    Zhao Feng walked out from his palace and waved a hand. The letters of challenge floated up in front of him for him to browse.


    "I didn''t think that so many of my fellow disciples wanted to exchange pointers with me!" Zhao Feng gave a carefree smile.


    But to those core disciples, this smile signified Zhao Feng''s contempt and disdain.


    "Kid, just because you reached the Heavenly Divine Realm doesn''t give you the right to act so brashly!" a handsome silver-haired youth suddenly barked. Although he also had silver hair, his was simply not comparable to Zhao Feng''s.


    "Whether or not I have the right isn''t for you to say!" As Zhao Feng flatly spoke, an invisible energy began to rise from his body.


    At this moment, the clouds and wind suddenly began to turn around Zhao Feng.


    "This energy¡­! Rank Five True God!"


    Someone in the crowd was able to immediately determine Zhao Feng''s power from this energy.


    "Heavens! Zhao Feng actually succeeded in attaining Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm!"


    "The worldly phenomena clearly vanished, but he somehow succeeded in reaching Rank Five anyway!"


    The crowd buzzed with chatter.


    "Rank Five True God¡­!" Zhang Yutong had an extremely gloomy expression.


    "Does he really have this kind of ability?" The Life Sacred Land''s Xiahou Wu stared in shock at Zhao Feng.


    Directly attaining Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm was something only the best prodigies of God Realm Sacred Lands were capable of, but this insignificant nobody before him had managed to do it.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei was weeping in joy, crystalline beads rolling down her white cheeks. Now that Zhao Feng had attained Rank Five, the Spiritual Race would not impede their relationship.


    In the sky, white clouds roiled and churned.


    "Good kid! You really did manage to make Rank Five True God!" Ancient God Floating Spirit yelled out in pleasant surprise.


    "I didn''t think that my Spiritual Race would have someone capable of directly attaining Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm!" another Spiritual Race Ancient God said with emotion.


    The ability to directly rise to Rank Five True God meant that one had the talent to reach Rank Nine and even aspire to the realm of God Lord.


    "Our plans from before might have been a little too much¡­." An Ancient God suddenly gave a helpless laugh.


    The other Ancient Gods instantly fell silent.


    ¡­


    "A Rank Five True God? But how?" The silver-haired youth became dejected.


    The Zhao Feng that he just jeered at had actually reached Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm. He was an existence on the same level as a prodigy of a Sacred Land!


    "I just broke through into the Heavenly Divine Realm, and I just happen to need opponents to exchange pointers with and consolidate my strength. These letters of challenge really came at the right time." Zhao Feng chortled.


    "My name is True God Zhi Gang, and I was one of the disciples who challenged you. If you have the guts, accept my challenge!" the silver-haired youth immediately said.


    He had called Zhao Feng arrogant and brash, but then Zhao Feng displayed a level of strength that shocked everyone and left him speechless and ashamed. If he defeated Zhao Feng in a fair duel, he could recover his dignity, but the prerequisite was that Zhao Feng had to be willing to accept his challenge.


    "Why wouldn''t I dare?" Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    "Okay!" True God Zhi Gang was somewhat pleased. In his view, Zhao Feng had become overconfident from directly reaching the level of Rank Five True God.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two figures swiftly vanished into the distance.


    "Zhao Feng managed to reach Rank Five True God. This is his first battle after breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm. Hurry! Let''s go and watch!"


    "But True God Zhi Gang is an extremely powerful existence among the Rank Five True Gods¡­."


    Many peripheral disciples and inner disciples quickly left.


    "Let''s go as well!" Zhang Yutong immediately said.


    At this moment, he could no longer tear his eyes away from Zhao Feng. By reaching Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm, Zhao Feng had almost assured his place as the most dazzling young disciple of the Spiritual Race. Even Zhang Yutong would have to admit his inferiority. Zhang Yutong was extremely unwilling to accept this!


    "Brother Zhang, relax. Zhao Feng might have reached Rank Five, but his loss in this battle is assured!" a core disciple earnestly said.


    Zhao Feng had just broken into the Heavenly Divine Realm, but he was thinking too highly of himself if he thought he could so quickly challenge a Rank Five True God.


    ¡­


    Zhao Feng''s palace was instantly deserted. Everyone had left for the only challenge stage in the peripheral disciple area.


    On this stage, True God Zhi Gang and Zhao Feng stared at each other.


    "True God Zhi Gang has the Pure Origin bloodline, so he can apply his bloodline energy to his Divine Power to strengthen it. He also cultivates a technique that refines his Divine Power. Any ordinary Rank Five True God who fights with him will immediately find themselves at a disadvantage," a disciple who had some understanding of True God Zhi Gang said with a smile.


    "Zhao Feng might have incredible talent to reach Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm, but he''s no match for True God Zhi Gang!" an inner disciple concluded.


    "You just became a Rank Five True God. You''re no match for me," True God Zhi Gang said with a smile. His heart was bursting with accomplishment at the thought of defeating a genius like this.


    "You talk a lot of nonsense," Zhao Feng coldly glared at his opponent as he scornfully said.


    "Hmph, let me give you a taste of my Divine Power!" True God Zhi Gang was somewhat incensed and coldly harrumphed.


    Boom!


    His body suddenly exploded with a mighty Divine Power. This was a belt of Divine Power that seemed to be made of white crystal. It was almost tangible, with runes and inscriptions clearly visible on its surface.


    At the same time, True God Zhi Gang also activated his bloodline power. A sliver of searing hot power ran through his Divine Power, strengthening it somewhat.


    "Heavens! True God Zhi Gang has advanced another level in his technique. With his bloodline power, his Divine Power is nearly at Rank Six!"


    "Ah, it seems like there''s no hope for Zhao Feng. At least he''ll be able to catch up very quickly in the future!"


    Quite a few disciples couldn''t help but feel pity for Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng had found any other Rank Five True God to challenge, the resulting battle wouldn''t have been as humiliating.


    Boom!


    True God Zhi Gang waved his hand, sending that red belt of Divine Power shooting at Zhao Feng like a lightning bolt.


    "Divine Power¡­." Zhao Feng muttered.


    Even before he had broken through into the Heavenly Divine Realm, no one was able to compete with the strength of his Divine Power. He just didn''t know if his Divine Power could compare with True God Zhi Gang''s.


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, sending out a white blade of pure Divine Power.


    Boom! Bang!


    These two attacks made of pure Divine Power clashed.


    "Hah, you just became a Rank Five True God. Your Divine Power won''t even be able to take a single clash with my Divine Power!" True God Zhi Gang immediately jeered when he saw that Zhao Feng had only used Divine Power.


    But he barely finished speaking when a crystalline white Divine Power shot out from the explosive clash. This white blade of Divine Power was coming right at him!


    "How could this be!?" True God Zhi Gang was almost speechless as he circulated his Divine Power, putting all his remaining strength into stopping this attack.


    The spectators were also stunned. None of them had imagined this result.


    "This¡­ is impossible!" A hint of savagery appeared on True God Zhi Gang''s face as he surrounded himself in a vast sea of Divine Power and charged at Zhao Feng.


    This time, True God Zhi Gang didn''t underestimate Zhao Feng. He used a combat skill and even added Intent energy.


    "You''re too weak."


    These words from Zhao Feng almost made True God Zhi Gang go mad with rage.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng''s body suddenly exploded forward. At the same time, a five-colored lightning began to surge out of his body. His body seemed to transform into a five-colored dragon.


    Brrrooom!


    A streak of five-colored lightning swept through True God Zhi Gang''s body. The power around True God Zhi Gang was immediately annihilated.


    His body, charred black, dropped to the ground.


    Hisss!


    The earth and sky were silent!


    Defeating True God Zhi Gang in a single blow¡­ was this a feat someone who had just become a Rank Five True God could accomplish? The core disciples shook their heads in disbelief.


    "This is impossible!" The Life Sacred Land''s Xiahou Wu was also astonished.


    "So strong, so handsome!" Several female disciples were immediately entranced by Zhao Feng''s performance.


    "Too weak," Zhao Feng softly said.


    These words immediately caused an uproar in the crowd.


    Too weak? Too weak!?


    Those people who had once targeted Zhao Feng now didn''t dare to offend him, and they clenched their teeth, their bodies shaking.


    The Ancient Gods in the sky were also stunned.


    "How could he be this strong? Did he manage to completely solidify his cultivation in that dimension of his?"


    "That must be what happened. This Zhao Feng cultivates a special technique. His Divine Power is extremely formidable, and the Divine Stages he formed are all incredibly stable."


    Several Ancient Gods began to praise Zhao Feng and increasingly began to find him more pleasing to the eye.


    Two of the Ancient Gods suddenly had an idea: take Zhao Feng as their disciple.

 1257 Everyone Together

    Chapter 1257 - Everyone Together


    Zhao Feng''s performance was far too shocking. Two Ancient Gods watching from the sky already wanted to take him as a disciple.


    After all, by directly attaining Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm, Zhao Feng had already proved his talent and potential. In the future, he was certain to become a Rank Nine True God without any problem. If Zhao Feng was lucky, he even had a chance of breaking past the limits of True God and reaching the God Lord level. Anyone who was Zhao Feng''s master was certain to enjoy tremendous glory and benefits.


    Brrrooom!


    Energy surged and roiled in the sky. The image of an elder one thousand feet tall and surrounded by a dazzling white radiance appeared.


    Everyone below immediately felt an invisible pressure.


    "Ancient God Elder!"


    Expressions of respect appeared on the faces of countless disciples.


    The core disciples also respectfully bowed. They all knew that by becoming a Rank Five True God, Zhao Feng would inevitably earn the attention of the race''s Ancient Gods. Thus, the appearance of this Ancient God expert didn''t attract much of their attention.


    "Does Elder have any orders?" Zhao Feng asked with a faint smile. In truth, his left eye had long ago noticed the Spiritual Race Ancient Gods watching from the skies.


    "Are you willing to become this old man''s inheritor disciple?" The Ancient God elder smiled.


    The Ancient Gods around him immediately grimaced, somewhat regretting the fact that they had allowed this old fellow to get ahead of them.


    "The Ancient God wants to take him as inheritor disciple!?"


    The crowd below was flabbergasted.


    Becoming an Ancient God''s disciple was already an extremely glorious affair. However, being an inheritor disciple meant that this Ancient God would pass down all his property to Zhao Feng.


    Countless disciples glared enviously at Zhao Feng.


    "Elder, my apologies. I still wish to exchange pointers with the other disciples of the race." Zhao Feng gave an extremely apathetic smile, and no hint of apology could be seen on his face.


    "Rejection!?"


    The surrounding disciples stared in disbelief at Zhao Feng. No one had expected for Zhao Feng to so directly refuse becoming an Ancient God''s inheritor disciple.


    Outside God Lords, who rarely paid attention to secular affairs, Ancient Gods were the supreme experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, presiding over entire factions. Countless Quasi-Gods and True Gods could only dream of becoming an Ancient God''s inheritor disciple, but Zhao Feng straightforwardly refused!


    "Mm. Have your matches and consider my offer." Surprisingly, the Ancient God in the clouds wasn''t that unhappy.


    Swish!


    The image vanished and everything returned to normal.


    "How crafty! Fortunately, that kid didn''t agree."


    The other Ancient Gods rejoiced. Since Zhao Feng had refused to become the disciple of that Ancient God, the rest of them still had a chance.


    On the challenge stage, Zhao Feng had a calm and confident expression.


    Before this, the Spiritual Race Ancient Gods had been trying to force him into a compromise where he gave up on Zhao Yufei. Now, a Spiritual Race Ancient God wanted him to be an inheritor disciple, and this Ancient God wasn''t even angry at Zhao Feng''s direct refusal.


    Such an intense contrast left even Zhao Feng somewhat uncomfortable.


    Of course, Zhao Feng had refused because he truly did want to continue these matches. This single bound to Rank Seven led to a massive leap in strength, and he could not control this strength as easily as he wished. As a result, he suppressed his cultivation and hoped to use these matches to slowly comprehend the limits of his power.


    Moreover, these core disciples had joined together to challenge him in the first place. Zhao Feng would not just let them go.


    But the most important reason was that Zhao Feng was already a Rank Seven Ancient God, so that Elder simply didn''t have the right to be his master!


    "Hmph, let me!"


    "I''ll have a match with you!"


    At this moment, four figures appeared around the challenge stage. All of them were people who wanted to challenge Zhao Feng.


    Bang!


    A red figure was the first to step onto the stage, and the stage slightly trembled as he jumped on.


    "Spiritual Race core disciple, True God Nu Ji!" This muscular man whose body was covered in red wavy tattoos announced his name.


    "It''s True God Nu Ji!"


    "This Spiritual Race core disciple was recently in secluded cultivation, but he reached the peak of Rank Five some time ago."


    There was no core disciple that did not have some reputation. True God Nu Ji was quite famous.


    Zhao Feng gave an absent-minded nod. He hadn''t noticed the name of this True God Nu Ji among those letters of challenge.


    "You dare to ignore me!?" True God Nu Ji immediately clenched his fists, his face contorting in rage.


    His many years of seclusion had resulted in a much-diminished reputation. Now that he had left his seclusion, he was seeking an opportunity to restore his fame. It just so happened that Zhao Feng had directly attained Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm, becoming the most dazzling existence in the Spiritual Race.


    "Raging Waves Flood the Heavens!"


    True God Nu Ji''s entire body began to surge with scarlet waves. These mighty waves also exuded an abnormally scorching heat. True God Nu Ji''s energy began to rapidly soar, breaking past the limits of his cultivation and touching Rank Six.


    "Raging Waves Flood the Heavens is a secret technique of True God Nu Ji''s race. It gives a large boost to his abilities and also imbues his offensive techniques with an explosive strength."


    "True God Nu Ji is at the peak of Rank Five. After using this bloodline technique, he can reach Rank Six!"


    Quite a few spectators were astonished at this level of power.


    This person''s strength isn''t bad. The explosive trait of his attacks and their destructive power is perfect for testing my physical body!


    Zhao Feng shot True God Nu Ji an interested glance.


    The complete stage of the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body was only capable of contending against a Rank Four True God and could only completely nullify the attacks of a Rank Three True God. Now that he had become an Ancient God, he didn''t know if his body still had its defensive advantages.


    Kabooom!


    True God Nu Ji''s eyes exploded with red light, and his body was surrounded by scarlet waves. With scorn in his eyes, he lunged at Zhao Feng like an ocean god rising out of a red ocean.


    For a moment, the challenge stage was flooded by the scorching red waves of True God energy. Even the Rank Five True Gods around the stage were startled by this power.


    "Brother Zhao!" Pan Hao was worried but also expectant.


    Zhao Feng easily defeated True God Zhi Gang just a moment ago, so it wasn''t likely for him to be easily defeated by True God Nu Ji.


    "Hmph, your Divine Power is strong, but your bloodline is ordinary, and it certainly doesn''t have any powerful secret techniques!" True God Nu Ji coldly snorted as if he had already won this battle.


    "Peak Rank Five?" Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    These words left everyone puzzled, but then, a cloud of five-colored lightning burst out from Zhao Feng''s body and straight into the skies. His strength swelled with it as the Divine Stages in Zhao Feng''s body released an energy that reached the peak of Rank Five!


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng circulated all his physical strength, and he seemed to transform into a five-colored mountain of lightning that could not be moved from the stage.


    "Peak Rank Five!" True God Nu Ji was so stunned that he was at a loss for words. Zhao Feng had managed to reach the peak of Rank Five in his breakthrough to the Heavenly Divine Realm!


    But the moment would not permit him to retreat.


    Brrrooom!


    The massive scarlet wave surged toward Zhao Feng like a colossal beast.


    True God Nu Ji ignited almost all his bloodline power. This vast scarlet wave began to seethe with blood-red embers. True God Nu Ji''s body also fused into this scarlet tsunami as it swept toward Zhao Feng.


    Brrrooom!


    The entire challenge stage trembled. After all, this was just the peripheral disciple challenge stage, on which two peak Rank Five True Gods were doing battle.


    Everyone stopped breathing for a moment as they stared at the center of the stage. What they saw was True God Nu Ji crashing into Zhao Feng with tremendous momentum.


    The result was simply mind-blowing.


    Kaclang!


    True God Nu Ji seemed to smash into a mountain of metal. Thump thump thump! He was forced three steps back.


    "How could this be?" Blood trickled from the corner of True God Nu Ji''s lips as his entire body trembled, and fear filled his eyes.


    He had used all his strength just now to unleash a fierce attack at Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng relied solely on his body to defend against it, and it was Nu Ji who had come away from the impact with heavy wounds.


    "Your attack¡­ is too weak!" Zhao Feng suddenly lunged forward and gave True God Nu Ji a kick.


    Thud!


    In an extremely embarrassing fashion, True God Nu Ji was kicked off the stage by Zhao Feng.


    "You¡­!" True God Nu Ji was absolutely furious and wanted to say something, but he couldn''t get any words out of his mouth.


    "He was actually peak Rank Five! He managed to get all the way to peak Rank Five and even defeat True God Nu Ji!"


    "How arrogant! He even said that True God Nu Ji''s attacks were too weak!"


    The spectating disciples were all agitated and furious.


    "No wonder he managed to so easily defeat me. He was already at peak Rank Five!" The recently defeated True God Zhi Gang sought an excuse for his defeat.


    "Already peak Rank Five¡­!" Zhang Yutong felt his heart thump. He somewhat regretted his actions against Zhao Feng.


    In the sky, the Ancient Gods all had extremely wondrous expressions. Peak Rank Five was still Rank Five, but it was proof that Zhao Feng''s talent and potential had already slightly surpassed a number of prodigies from the Sacred Lands.


    The three individuals from the Life Sacred Land had extremely solemn expressions.


    "Weren''t there a few people just now who were anxious to fight me?" Zhao Feng suddenly asked.


    He put his hands behind his back and playfully scanned the crowd. Those three other people who had been anxious to challenge Zhao Feng immediately lowered their heads and tried to hide in the crowd.


    Zhao Feng''s defense was simply too terrifying. Even True God Nu Ji was powerless against it, so they were even less capable of breaking it.


    "I''ll give you all one chance. You all come together, how about it?" Zhao Feng gave a mocking smile.


    "Damn, this kid¡­! So arrogant! He wants all of us to fight him together!?" A peak Rank Five True God immediately blushed in shame.


    The other members of the crowd were also quite startled and alarmed by Zhao Feng''s proposal.


    These three people were all peak Rank Five True Gods, just like True God Nu Ji. For Zhao Feng to challenge all three at once was just a little too arrogant.


    "Yufei, how did you manage to find such an outstanding man?" Kong Die''s charming figure began to sway, the envy in her eyes difficult to conceal.


    Zhao Yufei''s porcelain face immediately flushed red.


    "Go together!" The three challengers immediately began to message each other.


    Zhao Feng''s words were too arrogant. If they did not take this challenge, they would have no face to stay in the Spiritual Race.


    Besides, Zhao Feng only had a formidable physical body. The three of them just needed to make sure to keep a distance to ensure that they wouldn''t lose. If they could suppress Zhao Feng and slowly grind him down, it would be them who would emerge victorious.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In a flash, all three jumped onto the challenge stage. All three were peak Rank Five!


    "Zhao Feng, you were the one who told us to come together. We''re just satisfying your request!" a thin youth whose skin was covered with black spots coldly said.

 1258 All Too Weak

    Chapter 1258 - All Too Weak


    "Zhao Feng¡­ we''re just satisfying your request!" the thin youth whose skin was covered with many black spots coldly said.


    If it got out that the three of them worked together to deal with a True God of the same level, their reputations would be damaged. Consequently, before the battle, this youth decided to emphasize again that it was Zhao Feng who wanted the three of them to attack him together.


    "It can''t be. Does Zhao Feng really want to challenge three people of the same level? He only just broke through into the Heavenly Divine Realm." Most of the people present believed that Zhao Feng was a little too arrogant.


    Zhao Feng had a playful smile on his face as he examined the trio.


    "Go!" the youth with black spots yelled. He was already sick of seeing Zhao Feng''s arrogant and confident face.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Three incredible streams of Divine Power exploded onto the stage.


    The three were in no rush to get close to Zhao Feng. Instead, they kept their distance and attacked him from afar.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Zhao Feng stood in the center of the stage like a motionless mountain of five-colored lightning. The attacks of these three experts of the same level exploded on his body and did no damage whatsoever.


    "What a formidable body!" The three stared in shock at Zhao Feng.


    "Is this all you''re capable of?" Zhao Feng shrugged his shoulders as if those attacks just now had only given him a minor itch.


    "This brat¡­!" The three youths clenched their teeth in rage.


    After discussing their plans again, the three of them decided to use their best techniques to quash Zhao Feng''s arrogance.


    "Black Demon Shift!"


    "Chaotic Star Hammer!"


    "Heaven Yuan God Slash!"


    The three peak Rank Five True Gods unleashed their most powerful techniques, the storm of furious energy almost completely enveloping the challenge stage.


    "A trifling trick!" Zhao Feng coldly laughed.


    Swish!


    The five-colored lightning on his body immediately exploded with dazzling light.


    With Zhao Feng as the center, the area suddenly became a dimension of five-colored lightning. Any other energy in this domain would immediately be torn asunder by Five Elements Tribulation Lightning.


    As this zone of five-colored lightning expanded, the energy released by the three youths was annihilated. At the same time, the three youths were caught in the zone and were placed under immense pressure by the endless bolts of Tribulation Lightning.


    This was the new technique that Zhao Feng had developed after becoming an Ancient God from his fusing two complete techniques together ¨C Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain!


    "Get out of here!" Zhao Feng suddenly barked from the center of the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain.


    Five-colored lightning wreaked havoc through the domain.


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    The burst of Tribulation Lightning power flung the three youths from the stage.


    "How could this be?" Even after they were blown off the stage, the three youths still had expressions of disbelief.


    "Defeated!?" The spectators all stood in dazes, their minds blank. Not even three peak Rank Five True Gods could do anything to Zhao Feng?


    "Inconceivable!" Xiahou Wu murmured in shock as he stared at Zhao Feng.


    In the sky, the Ancient Gods were abuzz with excitement. They had all decided to keep Zhao Feng in the Spiritual Race no matter what.


    Zhao Feng''s dazzling performance immediately made those core disciples who had challenged Zhao Feng regret their decision. However, those letters of challenge were all in Zhao Feng''s hand; it was up to him whether or not to accept the challenge.


    "Zhao Feng, those peak Rank Fives are no match for you. Why don''t I exchange some pointers with you instead?" At this moment, Zhang Yutong walked out from the crowd.


    Having those good-for-nothings fight Zhao Feng would just allow Zhao Feng to increase his prestige. It was far better for him to just step forward and end this wave of challenges.


    "Brother Zhang!" Those people who had just been defeated stared in shock at Zhang Yutong.


    "Zhang Yutong is going to go. He''s a Rank Six True God of the Spiritual Race!" the other disciples exclaimed in shock and surprise, and quite a few female disciples covered their mouths in shock.


    "That''s fine. I''ll play around with you." Zhao Feng still had that playful smile on his face as he examined Zhang Yutong.


    His words once more elicited cries of alarm from the crowd. Zhao Feng actually said that he would just be playing around with the Rank Six True God Zhang Yutong!? This tone was as if Zhao Feng was a strong expert agreeing to a challenge from a weakling.


    "Okay, let''s play!" Zhang Yutong''s eyes coldly glimmered, but he maintained a nonchalant smile as he stepped onto the stage.


    "Hey, Brother Zhao, just what are you planning¡­?" Pan Hao already didn''t know what to say.


    Zhang Yutong had the Spiritual Race bloodline. His true fighting power was not that of an ordinary Rank Six True God!


    In the sky, the Ancient Gods also turned gloomy. They knew that the quarrel between Zhang Yutong and Zhao Feng was not easily resolved and also that there was no way Zhao Feng could fight a Rank Six True God of the Spiritual Race. If Zhao Feng appeared to be in any danger, they would immediately end the challenge.


    At this moment, the Ancient Gods sensed something and turned toward the distance. They saw a mighty elder with a transcendent aura slowly walking over.


    "Fourth Elder!" Ancient God Floating Spirit and several other Spiritual Race Ancient Gods immediately bowed in respect.


    This Fourth Elder gave a slight nod and turned his gaze down below.


    Kabooom!


    White crystalline clouds of mist erupted from Zhang Yutong''s body. With a wave of his hand, this white mist transformed into various kinds of weapons.


    Thwish!


    Zhang Yutong charged straight at Zhao Feng, the weapons attacking Zhao Feng like they were extensions of Zhang Yutong''s body.


    Zhao Feng activated the defensive power of his body and directly clashed with Zhang Yutong.


    Dingding! Bang!


    Explosions of ice crystals and lightning appeared all around Zhao Feng.


    Zhang Yutong''s expression was cold as more power poured into his weapons, and the intensity of their attacks increased.


    This person is very fast, his attacks are strong, and he''s even an expert at defense too. How troublesome¡­ Zhao Feng had a slightly gloomy look on his face. His body was somewhat unable to hold up against Zhang Yutong''s fierce assault.


    As a Rank Six True God of the Spiritual Race, Zhang Yutong had abnormal amounts of strength.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng was forced to activate some of his left eye''s power. In a flash, his left eye began to shine with a dream-like luster.


    The power of the left eye gave incredible boosts to both his reaction speed and judgment. To Zhao Feng''s amazement, he could see how Zhang Yutong was attacking him. As he observed Zhang Yutong, the cultivation methods for the skills Zhang Yutong used appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind. Zhao Feng was confident that, if Zhang Yutong completely displayed this technique, he would be able to take this combat skill for his own.


    Swish!


    As Zhao Feng comprehended Zhang Yutong''s skill, he began to use it.


    "Mm? This¡­ my skill!" Zhang Yutong''s face froze as he suddenly noticed something strange about Zhao Feng, after which he immediately bellowed in shock. He would have never believed it if someone said that Zhao Feng cultivated the same combat skill.


    As they continued to battle, the skill Zhao Feng used became even more similar to Zhang Yutong''s. Moreover, Zhao Feng''s left eye was able to modify the skill to make it more suitable for himself.


    The entire world had fallen silent. No one expected for Zhao Feng to put up a fight against the Rank Six True God Zhang Yutong.


    "His eye-bloodline¡­!" Xiahou Wu''s gaze was focused on Zhao Feng''s eyes. He sensed a faintly similar energy from this eye.


    Ding! Bangbang!


    On the stage, lightning and crystals had mixed together.


    I can''t let things continue like this. I have to defeat him as quickly as possible! Suddenly, Zhang Yutong''s face turned harsh, and his entire body began to shimmer with a white radiance.


    Boom!


    His body instantly transformed into translucent crystal that shone with dazzling white light. A vast surge of bloodline energy began to stir the surrounding Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    "It seems like you''re regarding me very highly since you''re using your Spiritual Race bloodline. If I don''t use my full strength, I really won''t be a match for you!" Seeing Zhang Yutong''s strength soar after activating his bloodline, Zhao Feng paused for a moment.


    "Hmph!" Zhang Yutong coldly snorted, not taking Zhao Feng''s words seriously. In his view, Zhao Feng had lost the moment he activated his Spiritual Race bloodline.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s body suddenly unleashed an astonishing energy.


    Boom! Bang!


    Arcs of five-colored lightning surged out of his body as Zhao Feng''s Divine Stages began to exude the energy of Rank Six.


    "This is¡­ Rank Six True God!" Zhang Yutong''s mind short-circuited, and he simply stood on the stage.


    The spectators around the stage were also dumbstruck, almost seeming like they had been rooted to the ground.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Now that Zhao Feng had pushed his cultivation to Rank Six, his abilities in various aspects soared.


    "Get out of here!" He transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged at Zhang Yutong.


    "Oh no!" Zhang Yutong''s face twisted, and his translucent skin began to ripple.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng punched, but his Lightning Divine Power pierced through Zhang Yutong''s body and didn''t deal him much damage. However, Zhao Feng''s physical strength alone was incredible, sending Zhang Yutong flying with a single punch.


    Zhang Yutong ¨C defeated!


    "Heavens, Zhao Feng actually had the cultivation of a Rank Six True God!"


    "He must have reached Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm during his breakthrough!"


    "A genius, an absolute genius!"


    After a few moments of silence, the crowd exploded into deafening cries of shock.


    Directly attaining Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm was a legendary feat for which there had never been any evidence, yet all of them were personally witnessing this feat.


    Zhang Yutong lay on the ground and bitterly laughed. This time, he had thoroughly lost.


    Behind the surging clouds, the Ancient Gods were also stunned and agitated.


    "Tell me everything about this boy!" the Fourth Elder of the Spiritual Race immediately said to an elder next to him.


    This Ancient God had a rather unsightly expression as he nodded his hand and explained everything, not daring to conceal a single fact.


    The Fourth Elder of the Spiritual Race gradually took on a grim expression. The remaining Ancient Gods shifted uncomfortably and lowered their heads as if acknowledging that they had made a mistake.


    "Hmph! This boy will be the number one person of the Spiritual Race in the future. I will personally train him!" The Fourth Elder coldly harrumphed.


    The other Spiritual Race elders all meekly nodded.


    On the challenge stage, the letters of challenge floated in front of Zhao Feng.


    Many of the core disciples around the stage suddenly paled. They were all deeply regretting the fact that they had taken part in Zhang Yutong''s plan to challenge Zhao Feng. Now, they were no match for Zhao Feng, but they also didn''t dare to offend him.


    "Forget it. They''re all too weak!" Zhao Feng scanned these letters, and then he sent out a crackle of lightning that pulverized all of them.


    Quite a few people breathed sighs of relief when they saw the letters being destroyed. However, Zhao Feng''s words were like swords plunged into their hearts, and yet there was nothing they could do about it.


    The storm of challenges had finally come to an end. Zhao Feng''s reputation was certain to spread through the entire Ziling Zone, perhaps even through the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!


    Just when everyone believed that it was all over, a voice resounded through the air; "Zhao Feng, I''m very interested in that eye-bloodline of yours."


    The Life Sacred Land''s Xiahou Wu slowly stepped forward.

 1259 Battle Against the Eye of Life

    Chapter 1259 - Battle Against the Eye of Life


    The Ancient Gods in the sky slowly turned somber and quiet.


    The Fourth Elder of the Spiritual Race focused his eyes on Xiahou Wu. This tribulation of challenges was just about to end, and he was preparing to take Zhao Feng as his disciple. However, Xiahou Wu of the Life Sacred Land suddenly stepped forward.


    The Life Sacred Land was the overlord faction of the Ziling Zone, and Xiahou Wu was a core disciple of this faction ¨C a peak Rank Six with the Eye of Life. He was many times stronger than Zhang Yutong.


    He had just witnessed Zhao Feng produce miracle after miracle, but this Ancient God Elder of the Spiritual Race still had no confidence in Zhao Feng''s victory. However, Xiahou Wu only displayed interest in Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline and wanted to have an instructive duel. No hostility was displayed, so the Elder did not have any good reason to stop the match.


    "Life Sacred Land core disciple Xiahou Wu!"


    "Heavens, Xiahou Wu wants to fight with Zhao Feng?"


    The surrounding Spiritual Race disciples were all flabbergasted. All of them feared the Life Sacred Land.


    "Has he already stirred the fighting will of the Life Sacred Land''s Xiahou Wu?" In the crowd, Yuan Long had a rather complicated expression on his face.


    Ever since he met Zhao Feng, he had never regarded him very highly. He believed that Zhao Feng was just a low-level being from another dimension with no ancient bloodline. Anyone in the crowd was better than him.


    However, Zhao Feng suddenly put on this dazzling performance, crushing many Spiritual Race disciples, and then displayed the strength of a Rank Six True God, making him the most talented disciple in all the Spiritual Race. Even the peak Rank Six True God of the Life Sacred Land, Xiahou Wu, couldn''t help but issue a challenge against Zhao Feng.


    "The Eye of Life?" Zhao Feng began to size up Xiahou Wu.


    Han Ning''er also had the Eye of Life, but in terms of how awakened it was, Xiahou Wu was far above her. And unlike Han Ning''er, Xiahou Wu could use his Eye of Life in battle.


    Zhao Feng was also very curious to see what sort of fighting abilities the Eye of Life could grant Xiahou Wu.


    "Okay. Those people just now weren''t worthy of me using the abilities of my eye-bloodline!" Zhao Feng''s expression became serious.


    "What? That kid''s eye-bloodline¡­?" Many of the Spiritual Race disciples around the stage were stunned. It turned out that Zhao Feng had never even used his most powerful eye-bloodline in all those battles.


    "This can''t be¡­!"


    Those core disciples that Zhao Feng had defeated shook their heads, as if trying to deny this fact. Zhang Yutong''s expression turned gloomy while his heart seethed with anger and reluctance.


    The gazes of the Spiritual Race Ancient Gods instantly became profound and thoughtful, seemingly greatly anticipating this coming battle.


    "Okay!" Xiahou Wu appeared to be extremely excited. Zhao Feng being so confident in his bloodline proved that its abilities were abnormal, which was precisely what Xiahou Wu wanted.


    Boom!


    Xiahou Wu''s body suddenly surged with an energy as heavy as a mountain. His body began to swell, and black tattoos slowly began to emerge on his skin.


    A physical pressure suddenly descended on the stage, as heavy as a mountain. Even Zhao Feng was caught off guard, his body trembling under the immense pressure.


    But it was far from over.


    Bzzzz!


    Wu''s dark green eyes glimmered with a green luster as boundless Life energy surged into his body. Bolstered by this powerful Life energy, Xiahou Wu''s physical strength increased until he was like a steel mountain towering into the heavens.


    Suddenly, the steel mountain moved.


    Boom! Bang!


    Xiahou Wu was like a flash of pitch-black light as he appeared next to Zhao Feng.


    What incredible speed! Zhao Feng was shocked. As expected, a genius from a Sacred Land cannot be underestimated.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng immediately used his Sacred Lightning Body to release his Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain.


    Even Xiahou Wu felt suppressed by this Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain.


    Boom! Bang!


    The collision of the two unleashed a heaven-shaking explosion.


    "What dreadful strength!"


    The crowd was astounded by the monstrous force unleashed on the stage. They found it difficult to imagine how much pressure Zhao Feng was enduring in this direct confrontation with Xiahou Wu.


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    Zhao Feng retreated three steps, each step leaving a clear print on the stage. He could feel an intense ache in his bones, and his hands felt like they had snapped from receiving Xiahou Wu''s punch.


    Zhao Feng immediately used his Intent energy and his inextinguishable constitution to recover.


    "I didn''t think that there was someone outside a Sacred Land that could directly take one of my punches!" Xiahou Wu''s eyes exploded with fighting intent.


    As a core disciple of the Life Sacred Land, he naturally cultivated the best body-refining techniques. Coupled with the aid he received from various precious herbs and the Eye of Life, he had achieved incredible results in the Dao of Body Refining.


    "It''s my turn now!"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye flashed with a dreamy silver luster. In an instant, Zhao Feng''s expression calmed down. Just by focusing his left eye on Xiahou Wu, he could analyze a great deal of information about his opponent.


    But he was not using his left eye for analysis.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World!" Zhao Feng''s left eye unleashed an astonishing Eye Intent that gradually formed into an illusory palace.


    Bzzzz!


    A haze appeared in Xiahou Wu''s dark green eyes, but the jade belt around his waist immediately let out a dark green light that seeped into Xiahou Wu''s soul.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng approached Xiahou Wu like a bolt of lightning, the fingers of his right hand thrumming with the energy of an ancient bloodline.


    "Sky Penetrating Finger!" Zhao Feng plunged a finger at Xiahou Wu''s chest.


    What a powerful Soul eye-bloodline technique! Even with my divine artifact protecting my soul, I still ended up being affected. At this moment, clarity returned to Xiahou Wu''s eyes.


    He immediately gathered his Divine Power near the area that Zhao Feng was attacking.


    Kaploosh!


    Zhao Feng''s finger that was fused with his bloodline power pierced straight through Xiahou Wu''s sturdy body.


    "Xiahou Wu''s been wounded! Zhao Feng''s attack actually managed to pierce through Xiahou Wu''s defense!" The Spiritual Race disciples all gasped in surprise.


    After his attack struck true, Zhao Feng swiftly backed up and began to coldly observe Xiahou Wu.


    "You''re not bad. You actually managed to wound me!" Xiahou Wu laughed, caring little for the wound on his body. After all, it took only an instant for this wound to heal.


    Not even Zhao Feng''s finger that combined his bloodline power and Tribulation Lightning energy had been very effective.


    But Xiahou Wu appeared to be much more serious now. Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique just now told him that his opponent was very skilled in soul attacks.


    If one had to say that Xiahou Wu had a weakness, it would be with regards to his soul.


    His body is fused with the Eye of Life, so vitality endlessly flows into him, making him extremely sturdy. He''s far more powerful than I expected! Zhao Feng''s left eye allowed him to see everything.


    "Eat another punch!" Xiahou Wu activated his Eye of Life and charged at Zhao Feng again.


    Even before the punch arrived, Zhao Feng already felt like the terrifying pressure it exerted was going to knock him to the floor.


    Right at this moment, Life Intent surged around Zhao Feng, causing tenacious green vines to sprout from the ground and hold him tight. Xiahou Wu had used a binding eye-bloodline technique through his Eye of Life!


    Zhao Feng was stunned, and he once more confirmed that Sacred Land geniuses could not be looked down on.


    Unable to escape, Zhao Feng seemed like he was about to be crushed by Xiahou Wu.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Countless white arcs of lightning began to crackle within Zhao Feng''s left eye, and Destruction Intent that could destroy souls began to surge with powerful soul ripples.


    After using that eye-bloodline technique a moment ago, Zhao Feng realized that using eye-bloodline techniques had become much easier, and the effects were now much stronger.


    Kacrack!


    A twisted bolt of Tribulation Lightning carrying dreadful Soul energy exploded in Xiahou Wu''s face.


    "Ah¡­!" Xiahou Wu immediately stopped and began to scream.


    Even though he was already on his guard against such a move and even had this soul-protecting treasure, he was still unable to endure Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame.


    Zhao Feng quickly broke free of his restraints and activated his left eye. Powerful Soul energy began to barrage Xiahou Wu''s soul.


    Right now, he could almost instantly use some of the minor eye-bloodline techniques without even thinking.


    Cling! Crack!


    The jade belt on Xiahou Wu''s waist began to show cracks, unable to endure the onslaught of Zhao Feng''s soul attacks.


    "This¡­ is his real strength?" A few disciples in the crowd were in a shocked daze.


    Xiahou Wu had a profound cultivation, the Eye of Life, and a soul-protecting divine artifact, but he was still forced into such a wretched state by Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline techniques. A normal person probably wouldn''t even be able to last a few seconds!


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Xiahou Wu''s Eye of Life madly worked. Its powerful Life energy could maintain his body at peak condition, so it was also somewhat effective at resisting these Soul eye-bloodline techniques. Moreover, Xiahou Wu began to develop a resistance to these eye-bloodline techniques that Zhao Feng was repeatedly using.


    Swish!


    Xiahou Wu''s body suddenly vanished. In the next moment, Xiahou Wu appeared right in front of Zhao Feng, his Eye of Life madly whirring. The powerful Life energy was like a flame blazing within his body.


    "Heaven Shatter!" Xiahou Wu condensed a ball of dark green light in his palm, which exuded heart-palpitating energy.


    What a powerful technique! Zhao Feng sensed danger. Being struck by this attack would result in either death or heavy injury.


    It seemed like Xiahou Wu planned to use this attack to decide the outcome of this battle!


    God Eye Disintegration! Zhao Feng focused his gaze on Xiahou Wu and sent out a surge of silvery light.


    Swish!


    The Life energy around Xiahou Wu rapidly dissipated. The boundless vitality in his body soon began to follow. The supreme technique he had been gathering energy for also began to weaken.


    "This¡­ what sort of eye-bloodline technique is this?" Xiahou Wu was almost too stunned for words.


    He suddenly realized that the vitality in his body was rapidly fading away. The Life energy surging out of his Eye of Life was somehow unable to keep up with this loss.


    This meant that his Eye of Life had already ceased to be useful. His supreme technique would never be able to reach its maximum power!


    "Heheh!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    The disintegration speed was inconceivably fast now. If Xiahou Wu didn''t have the Eye of Life, Zhao Feng would have already finished disintegrating all the Life energy in his body.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng stopped the God Eye Disintegration.


    God Eye Duplication!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye unleashed an illusory mist that shrouded his body.


    Boom! Bzzzzz!


    An endless flood of Life energy surged out of Zhao Feng''s body. At this moment, Zhao Feng felt like his physical strength had increased by at least three times.


    Thwish!


    Using Space Intent and Lightning Intent, Zhao Feng instantly appeared next to Xiahou Wu. He condensed all the Life energy he had duplicated into his Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Divine Power.


    Brrrooom!


    Even before he punched, dragons of lightning were savagely roaring in the air.


    "How could this be? The Life energy on your body¡­" Xiahou Wu found it impossible to explain the scene before him.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng punched, sending a massive dragon of five-colored lightning into Xiahou Wu''s body.


    Cling! Crack!


    The boundary array shattered, and Xiahou Wu''s body was flung several li away, pulverizing a distant palace.

 1260 Half-Step God Lord

    Chapter 1260 - Half-Step God Lord


    Boom! Bang!


    The boundary array around the challenge shattered as Xiahou Wu''s body was sent flying several li away. Zhao Feng''s punch had to have a power bordering on that of an Ancient God if it was able to send Xiahou Wu flying!


    "This¡­ this fellow is far too terrifying!"


    Quite a few core disciples swallowed their saliva as they thought about how that could have been them. If they had been hit by that punch, there was no way they could have come out alive.


    "Even Xiahou Wu was defeated!" Zhang Yutong''s expression became even gloomier.


    The other disciples, on the other hand, found it hard to repress their excitement as they shouted and roared. After all, Zhao Feng was also a part of the Spiritual Race. By defeating a genius of the Life Sacred Land, he had bolstered the dignity of the Spiritual Race.


    "Yufei, he''s so cool! He sent Xiahou Wu flying with one punch." Kong Die excitedly called out, causing Zhao Yufei to helplessly smile.


    On the challenge stage, Zhao Feng was also rather pleasantly surprised.


    This was the first time since his left eye''s transformation that he had used eye-bloodline techniques in battle. He now realized that his left eye''s abilities had received an unprecedented boost; all his eye-bloodline techniques were now much easier to use and took much less energy.


    Even the God Eye Disintegration and God Eye Duplication could be casually used to almost absurd results. For example, his God Eye Disintegration no longer required analysis before the disintegration. In the end, it caused Xiahou Wu''s ultimate technique, Heaven Shatter, to be unable to display its true might.


    And Zhao Feng found using the God Eye Duplication far more flexible. In the past, the most he could duplicate was his opponent''s technique, but now, he could duplicate almost anything he desired. Just now, Zhao Feng duplicated the Life energy rising from Xiahou Wu''s body and used it for his own purposes.


    It really didn''t let me down! Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    His God Eye transformation had been enormous, and Zhao Feng wasn''t even sure if there were still other abilities that he had yet to discover.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two other disciples from the Life Sacred Land appeared at Xiahou Wu''s side.


    "Senior Brother Xiahou!" The two disciples had somewhat panicked and unsightly looks on their faces.


    "I''m fine!" Xiahou Wu stood up and used his Eye of Life to instantly heal the wounds on his body.


    "His eye-bloodline¡­ is almost at the Quasi God Eye level!" Xiahou Wu murmured in shock.


    Normal eye-bloodlines would never be able to render his Eye of Life useless, but Zhao Feng had used none other than his eye-bloodline to defeat him.


    "Impossible! Brother Xiahou, how can that be?" one of the Life Sacred Land disciples immediately denied.


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had Eight Great God Eyes, and after the Eight Great God Eyes were their bloodline descendants. The bloodline descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes were limited in how far they could mature; this limit was the Quasi God Eye level.


    The step above the Quasi God Eye level was the God Eye level! However, in order to become a God Eye, one had to kill the owner of a God Eye, so the bloodline descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes were limited to Quasi God Eyes.


    "That kid isn''t a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes, so how could he have reached the Quasi God Eye level?" The disciples of the Life Sacred Land found it impossible to believe this.


    "His eye hasn''t just reached the Quasi God Eye level; I feel that his eye even has a hint of God Eye energy¡­." Xiahou Wu whispered so that only the two Life Sacred Land disciples could hear.


    "Impossible!" the two exclaimed in shock.


    "Let''s go!" Xiahou Wu growled, and then he left with his two disciples.


    In the sky, the Ancient Gods had wondrous expressions.


    "Quasi God Eye level?" A thoughtful look appeared in the Fourth Elder''s eyes.


    He had heard of this level before, but he had only ever heard of the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes reaching this level. He wasn''t a God Eye descendant and had little understanding of the matter, so he wasn''t able to give a reason as to why this was the case.


    "Perhaps he was able to attain Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm partially because of this Quasi God Eye level eye!" the Fourth Elder speculated.


    Regardless, Zhao Feng had reached Rank Six, meaning that he had a very high chance in the future of reaching that realm above the Nine Ranks of True God ¨C the God Lord realm. This kind of genius had to remain in the Spiritual Race and be fully supported.


    Just when the Fourth Elder was ready to appear, he suddenly felt an oppressive energy. The other Spiritual Race Ancient Gods also sensed it and turned to the distance.


    An elder with crystalline white hair was slowly ambling over. Wherever he passed, there was silence and countless crystals flashing in the air. It made the world itself seem unreal.


    "What''s going on?" The Spiritual Race disciples below suddenly sensed a terrifying ripple of energy approaching from the horizon.


    As this energy approached, they felt like the strength in their bodies had been frozen and impossible to use. At this moment, they had all become ordinary people!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye immediately scanned the horizon and focused on the elder. When he saw this elder, all the Divine Power in his body trembled, and his soul also seemed to be suppressed as if acknowledging its inferiority.


    How frightening! Who is this person? Zhao Feng was utterly astonished by this person.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Even before the elder with crystalline white hair descended, several Spiritual Race Ancient Gods shot out of the clouds.


    "Third Elder!"


    "To think that the Third Elder would leave seclusion!"


    All the Spiritual Race Ancient Gods, including the Fourth Elder, showed expressions of respect. The Third Elder''s authority was only one level above the Fourth Elder''s, but he was already a half-step God Lord ¨C someone who had the hopes of becoming a God Lord.


    "We respectfully welcome you, Third Elder!"


    The words of the Spiritual Race upper echelon members immediately let the disciples down below understand who this elder was. They had never imagined that they would one day have the chance to see such a terrifying individual.


    Quite a few core disciples had heard of the Spiritual Race''s Third Elder, so when they learned that he was this elder, they appeared even more respectful.


    I didn''t think that even the Spiritual Race''s Third Elder would come!


    The core disciples were all deeply concerned. They knew that the Third Elder had appeared for Zhao Feng, which was exactly why they were concerned!


    "I know of everything that happened here," the Third Elder slowly spoke, his apathetic voice resounding in the souls of everyone in the Spiritual Race.


    This divine ability made everyone in the Spiritual Race feel a sincere reverence for this elder.


    The Fourth Elder said nothing. Since the Third Elder had appeared, everything would be as he decreed.


    On the perimeter of the Spiritual Race, Ancient God Night Dragon, who had been hiding in another dimension, was forced out, vomiting blood.


    "Half-step God Lord¡­!" Ancient God Night Dragon suppressed his seething energy and fled using Instant Movement.


    All levels of the Spiritual Race were silent, everything seeming to have been frozen in place. The world around the Third Elder glimmered with unreal white light.


    "You are Zhao Feng." The Third Elder suddenly turned his eyes to Zhao Feng.


    "Yes." Zhao Feng directly met the Third Elder''s gaze.


    He felt like the heavens themselves were about to collapse as an indescribable pressure descended. It felt like the Third Elder''s gaze was similar to his own left eye, capable of seeing through everything and observing all of Zhao Feng''s secrets.


    Thumpthump! Thumpthump!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye began to thump and beat as it gave off heat. A dreamy mist emerged from the God Eye Dimension and seeped into Zhao Feng''s soul.


    Zhao Feng felt the pressure on his body instantly being more than halved. That feeling that everything in his body was being seen through also disappeared.


    The Spiritual Race Third Elder slightly arched his brow.


    "Are you willing to be my disciple?" The Third Elder gave a faint smile.


    The Fourth Elder slightly frowned in displeasure, but he dared not speak.


    Another one looking to make him their disciple! The Spiritual Race''s Third Elder ¨C a half-step God Lord ¨C wants to make him his disciple!


    The minds of the Spiritual Race disciples were in an uproar.


    Zhao Feng had previously refused to be the disciple of an ordinary Ancient God elder of the Spiritual Race, but now, the Third Elder of the Spiritual Race had appeared with the intent of making Zhao Feng his disciple!


    The core disciples suddenly began to fear Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng became the disciple of a half-step God Lord, he would become the little ancestor of the Spiritual Race, standing above the vast multitudes of the Spiritual Race. Even the disciples with the actual Spiritual Race bloodline would not dare to treat him with disrespect.


    These words sent a ripple of emotion through Zhao Feng''s mind, but he quickly calmed down.


    "Just a while ago, I was only an ordinary peripheral disciple, and the peripheral disciples, inner disciples, and core disciples all tried to humiliate me. Even the Spiritual Race Elders wanted to force me to leave," Zhao Feng slowly spoke.


    These words made all the people of the Spiritual Race drop their jaws in shock.


    "What''s this kid doing!?" quite a few core disciples blurted out in shock.


    What is this kid trying to do? The black-robed Ancient God''s expression contorted in shock.


    The Third Elder''s eyes twinkled as he began to carefully inspect Zhao Feng.


    "Now, Third Elder wishes to take me as a disciple. This discrepancy is too large, and I don''t feel it to be real. Please permit me a few days to calm down and think it over," Zhao Feng calmly said.


    The Spiritual Race had previously been in almost total opposition to him, hoping to drive him out and harm him. Now, after he displayed an unprecedented level of talent, the Spiritual Race wanted to recruit him and make him serve the Spiritual Race. This was taking far too much advantage of him!


    In addition, he had actually already reached the Ancient God realm. He would probably have no difficulty in reaching the God Lord realm that stood above the Nine Ranks of True God on his own anyway.


    If this was made known, the God Realm Sacred Lands would be fighting with each other to recruit him, but the Spiritual Race had only sent one half-step God Lord. Truthfully speaking, Zhao Feng didn''t think that this person had the right to be his master!


    Zhao Feng''s words had a petrifying effect on all the disciples and even the Ancient God Elders of the Spiritual Race. Although Zhao Feng had said that he wanted to think about it for a few days, everyone knew that Zhao Feng was just tactfully rejecting the offer.


    Rejecting a chance to become a disciple of a half-step God Lord! At this moment, countless people wanted to leap forward and curse at Zhao Feng. Rejecting the good intentions of a half-step God Lord ¨C was there something wrong with his mind?


    "You want to think about it for a few days?" the Third Elder''s eyes focused as he suddenly asked.


    The white flashes of light in the sky suddenly became fierce and chaotic. That vast pressure suppressing the world surged forward like a tsunami.


    The Spiritual Race disciples down below instantly felt a strength that was impossible to defy crushing down on them. Their bodies groaned as they were on the verge of snapping, and their souls were battered and barraged to point of breaking.

 1261 A Name that Shakes the Ziling Zone

    Chapter 1261 - A Name that Shakes the Ziling Zone


    The Spiritual Race disciples down below instantly felt a strength that was impossible to defy crushing down on them. Their bodies groaned as they were on the verge of snapping, and their souls were battered and barraged to point of breaking.


    Zhao Feng suffered under pressure not one bit inferior to anyone else''s. If not for his formidable physical body, firm soul, and the protection of his God Eye, he would have already bent the knee to this half-step God Lord.


    "Correct; I want a few days to think!" Zhao Feng barely managed to squeeze these words out from between his clenched teeth.


    These words made the hearts of everyone present freeze. The disciples present cursed Zhao Feng''s name countless times.


    In the sky, even some Ancient God Elders broke out in a cold sweat. In front of a half-step God Lord and the pressure he exuded, Zhao Feng still refused. Not even these Ancient God Elders dared to do such a thing.


    At this moment, the oppressive energy suffocating the world suddenly vanished.


    "I will give you three days. After that, I will return to secluded cultivation!" With these words, the Third Elder vanished.


    He knew that Zhao Feng had actually already rejected him, but he would not treat Zhao Feng any differently because of this. After all, Zhao Feng had directly attained Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm, so as long as the Spiritual Race was willing to nurture him in general, he would become a God Lord without any problem.


    God Lords were the supreme experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Zhao Feng even a tiny hope of reaching the very peak of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and become a God King!


    But since the Third Elder of the Spiritual Race was a half-step God Lord, he found it somewhat demeaning to be refused by Zhao Feng. Thus, he gave the excuse that he was very busy and could only give Zhao Feng three days. If Zhao Feng could not make his decision soon, he would lose out on this opportunity. These words not only raised the Third Elder''s prestige but also greatly reduced the awkwardness that came from Zhao Feng''s refusal.


    When the Third Elder was gone, everyone in the Spiritual Race breathed a sigh of relief, some people even dropping to the ground.


    Everyone had very complicated looks in their eyes as they looked at Zhao Feng.


    At the start, Zhao Feng had been rejected by everyone. However, now that Zhao Feng had attained Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm directly, he had become the most brilliant genius of the Spiritual Race, making them all feel rather envious. Then, Zhao Feng defeated a Rank Six True God of the Life Sacred Land, which came as a pleasant surprise and made them rather admire him. In the end, Zhao Feng went and offended the Spiritual Race''s Third Elder.


    After all these events, the Spiritual Race disciples had no idea how they should treat Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng also sighed. He was sure that the Third Elder wouldn''t do anything to him, but that world-crushing pressure was something that not even he could endure. He had been worried that, if enough time passed, the Third Elder would''ve seen through his secrets.


    "Brother Feng!" A graceful figure dressed in violet floated to Zhao Feng''s side. This person was none other than the number one beauty of the Spiritual Race, Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei said no more. She only stared with affectionate eyes and an enchanting smile at Zhao Feng. It was like she would never doubt Zhao Feng no matter what he did.


    Zhao Yufei''s attitude warmed Zhao Feng''s heart. After all, Zhao Yufei had spent decades in the Spiritual Race, and by refusing the Third Elder just now, Zhao Feng was basically opposing the entire Spiritual Race.


    As everyone looked at the goddess of their hearts being so close to another man, all sorts of feelings welled up in their hearts.


    In the distance, Quasi-God Luo Yu and Wei Qingying looked at Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei with an indescribable feeling in their hearts. In the beginning, they had treated Zhao Feng as a tool to poke fun at Zhao Yufei, but now, Zhao Feng was the most dazzling genius of the Spiritual Race. Even if they wanted to form a relationship with him now, they wouldn''t be able to.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Floating Spirit drifted down.


    "Zhao Feng, we finally meet!" Ancient God Floating Spirit smiled.


    "I must thank Senior for taking care of Zhao Yufei in the Spiritual Race over the years." Zhao Feng respectfully bowed.


    Ancient God Floating Spirit was none other than the member of the Spiritual Race who had descended to the Continent Zone to take Zhao Yufei away. Zhao Feng could not possibly forget him.


    "Zhao Feng, you are now a core disciple of the Spiritual Race. Why don''t you move next to Zhao Yufei?" Ancient God Floating Spirit''s face was beaming.


    "Master!" Zhao Yufei blushed to the shade of a ripe apple.


    The Spiritual Race would now only try to keep Zhao Feng, not try to impede their relationship.


    "That''s fine." Zhao Feng gave an indifferent nod.


    Zhao Feng followed Ancient God Floating Spirit and Zhao Yufei to the territory of the core disciples.


    The crowd in the peripheral disciple area also dispersed. Everything that happened today had left an indelible mark on their minds.


    Whoosh!


    At this moment, a golden-robed youth exuding waves of majestic dignity arrived.


    "Jin Wei, what''s the situation?"


    This golden-robed youth was somewhat similar in looks to Jin Wei, but there was a sharpness about his face.


    "Big Bro, you only got here now? You missed a good show¡­." Jin Wei told his big brother Jin Kun everything that happened. His big brother had the Spiritual Race bloodline and was an outstanding genius of the previous generation. He was currently an Ancient God expert.


    "Rank Six True God!?" Jin Kun had a look of stunned disbelief on his face.


    "It''s true! Even the Third Elder wanted to take him as a personal disciple." Jin Wei also knew that his brother had a proud personality and would never believe that an outsider was capable of directly becoming a Rank Six True God.


    "Hmph, that kid actually dared to refuse the Third Elder?" Jin Kun coldly snorted in displeasure.


    "He truly did miss out on an excellent opportunity. If he had become the Third Elder''s disciple, no one in the Spiritual Race would have dared to provoke him, but he insisted on refusing," Jin Wei said in confusion.


    "There''s a chance¡­. I want to see this person!" Jin Kun''s eyes flashed with a sharp light.


    Long ago, Jin Kun''s ancestor had recommended him to the Third Elder in the hopes that the Third Elder would take Jin Kun as a disciple, but the Third Elder only glanced at him before rejecting the notion. Now, the Third Elder personally asked Zhao Feng to be his disciple, but Zhao Feng refused him. This left Jin Kun''s heart burning with injustice.


    ¡­


    Upon arriving at his new residence, Zhao Feng entered a period of seclusion. He had just broken into the Ancient God realm, meaning that his cultivation was extremely unstable. He would need a great deal of time to stabilize it. In addition, he had comprehended some things through the battles earlier.


    "On the surface, I''m a Rank Six True God, but I''m really already an Ancient God. This will be my trump card." Zhao Feng had a calm look on his face.


    He was now protected by the five-star faction that was the Spiritual Race. However, the talent and potential he had displayed were far too shocking, meaning that he might encounter some unpredictable dangers.


    While cultivating, Zhao Feng also began to nurture the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Master, I will return to my peak strength soon!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon respectfully said.


    It had been cultivating in the Spacetime Robe this entire time and knew nothing about what was happening outside. Thus, when Zhao Feng began exuding the aura of an Ancient God the moment he came in, it was almost scared out of its wits. It then learned that Zhao Feng had directly attained the Ancient God level and became extremely respectful to him.


    "Mm." Zhao Feng nodded and went to his own cultivating area.


    As the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon recovered its strength, it was also cultivating new things. By the time it returned to its peak, it would definitely be even stronger than it was back then.


    In addition, he didn''t know what sort of precious resources the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had received from Zhao Wan, but its Destruction Dragon Race bloodline appeared to be a little thicker.


    Of course, this was exactly what Zhao Feng wanted to see. If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t keep up with him, it wouldn''t be very useful.


    Zhao Feng shot a glance at the gray egg beside him.


    "This thieving cat tricked me!"


    Zhao Feng felt at a loss for words. The little thieving cat had said that it was going to break into the Heavenly Divine Realm, but did breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm require becoming an egg? Did it really need this much time?


    At this moment, Zhao Feng didn''t really care about such things though. He just wanted to see what the little thieving cat would look like when it emerged from the egg.


    Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng entered a cultivation state.


    ¡­


    A peerless genius who had become a Rank Six True God in a single breakthrough had appeared in the Spiritual Race; this news immediately swept through the Ziling Zone, unleashing a massive earthquake.


    Directly becoming a Rank Six True God was the stuff of legends, with no verifiable event existing on record. No one had expected for it to truly occur.


    Of course, the vast majority of people doubted this news. After all, no one would believe such an absurd thing unless they personally witnessed it.


    A few days later, several of the peak four-star factions near the Spiritual Race dispatched people to pay a visit. However, Zhao Feng happened to be in the middle of seclusion at this time. Thus, not one of these visitors was able to see Zhao Feng himself.


    As a result, they all believed this genius to be a fabrication of the Spiritual Race. The goal was naturally to intimidate the Blazing Gold Race.


    The Ziling Zone, Blazing Gold Race:


    Deep underground, in a secret hall exuding a searing light, the upper echelon of the Blazing Gold Race had gathered.


    The mood in the hall was extremely oppressive, with everyone focused on one person. They were so fearful that they didn''t even dare to breathe too loudly. An authoritative elder floated in the air, his seemingly steel body blazing with golden flames. He was a half-step God Lord.


    "Explain the situation," the half-step God Lord of the Blazing Gold Race suddenly said.


    "Based on the reports of our spies in the Spiritual Race, there truly was someone called Zhao Feng who managed to reach Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm in his breakthrough!" a middle-aged man down below said.


    These words caused the hall to buzz with conversation. Even the face of the half-step God Lord turned gloomy.


    "This boy can''t be left alive!"


    "He must be removed, or else the Blazing Gold Race will never be able to rest easy!"


    Ruthless expressions appeared on the faces of some of the upper echelon members.


    "Directly attaining Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm¡­ an outsider?" the half-step God Lord elder softly asked.


    "Correct. Apparently, for the sake of pursuing Zhao Yufei, this person entered the Spiritual Race as a worker disciple¡­." The middle-aged man said everything he knew.


    "Keep a close eye on this Zhao Feng. Try to lure and recruit him, and if he refuses¡­ exterminate him!" the half-step God Lord coldly said.


    ¡­


    In the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng opened his eyes.


    "I need to search for new techniques now, or else my cultivation speed will be too slow." Zhao Feng sighed.


    He previously cultivated the Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and the Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body, but both were complete and no longer possible to cultivate.


    "Master, there''s no need to worry. The Spiritual Race is a five-star faction, and you are its most brilliant genius. They will offer any technique to you that happens to catch your eye!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon respectfully said.


    Zhao Feng nodded and prepared to leave so that he could search the Spiritual Race for a suitable technique.


    But at this moment, his soul received an urgent message.


    "Zhao Wan''s in trouble!" Zhao Feng''s face froze in shock, and he immediately sent his mind to the dream-like silver ball in his God Eye Dimension.

 1262 Suppression of the Ancient Dream Realm

    Chapter 1262 - Suppression of the Ancient Dream Realm


    At the center of a massive scorched crater in the Ancient Dream Realm:


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s figure suddenly appeared.


    "Instant Movement!"


    The moment he arrived in the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng immediately used Instant Movement to leap through space. Zhao Feng emerged in the sky five hundred thousand li away.


    "My Instant Movement can now travel five hundred thousand li!" Zhao Feng was elated.


    Breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm was a process where one mingled with heaven and earth and constantly comprehended their principles. At this point, Zhao Feng''s Space Intent had smoothly reached Level Five while his Five Elements Intent and Wind Lightning Intent had all reached Level Four. His Lightning Intent and Metal Intent in particular were on the verge of reaching Level Five.


    Zhao Feng also sensed that he could fuse with the world at any time and use the power of the Ancient Dream Realm to increase his strength. If he could familiarize himself in the control of the Ancient Dream Realm''s energy, he could further increase the distance his Instant Movement could travel.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng put on the Spacetime Robe. A profound Space Intent attached to his body, bringing his own Space Intent to near Level Six.


    On his journey, he continued to comprehend Space Intent and the principles of the Ancient Dream Realm. Gradually, Zhao Feng sent part of his mind to fuse with the Ancient Dream Realm.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng seemed to become the sky and was able to look down at his journeying self.


    Bzzzz!


    This part of his mind that was fused with the Ancient Dream Realm could control the energy of the world, including space. Zhao Feng immediately felt the resistance to his Instant Movement plunge, with both the distance and the stability of the spatial passage increasing.


    In this fashion, Zhao Feng rapidly traveled through the Ancient Dream Realm. It didn''t even take five days for him to reach Zhao Wan''s location.


    "Based on the news that Zhao Wan sent, the ancient beasts under his control apparently provoked some powerful faction of the Ancient Dream Realm." Zhao Feng had a rather glum expression.


    Zhao Wan currently had the strength of only a Rank Four Quasi-God. He could not control anyone that was too powerful. He mainly relied on vast numbers of ancient beasts to drive his expansion in the Ancient Dream Realm. However, when one''s opponent was at a certain level of strength, numbers became meaningless.


    ¡­


    "Get back!" Zhao Wan ordered the ancient beasts under his control.


    Behind him, a vast herd of ancient beasts madly rushed about. Each of these ancient beasts had reached the True God realm, and their number was uncountable. But at this moment, all of them had fear in their eyes.


    "The Blood Flame Qilin Race isn''t pursuing us with all their power. It seems like they''re playing with us?" a Phoenix-Tailed Bird glimmering with violet flames spoke in a clear and crisp voice.


    This Phoenix-Tailed Bird was none other than Little Ling.


    As Zhao Wan was expanding the territory under his control and was about to reach the Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race, he went and recruited Little Ling. Her cultivation was that of a Rank Six True God, making her one of the strongest experts in this herd of ancient beasts.


    But even a Rank Six True God could only flee at this time.


    Brrrooom!


    Behind time, a red cloud seething with flame and exuding an intimidating pressure was constantly advancing. One could faintly make out the figures of several large Qilins in the middle of this red cloud, their bodies entirely aflame.


    "Iron Fire, this is really too boring. Why don''t we just kill them all? The person patriarch is searching for definitely isn''t here!" A red Qilin with a broken horn gave a wicked smile and spat out a scorching gout of flame.


    "Don''t do anything extra. Just complete the patriarch''s mission," the other, larger red Qilin indifferently replied. This Red Flame Qilin was precisely that Ancient God expert who had fought against the three Sacred Lands and Zhao Feng for treasure.


    "Damn, we didn''t even invade their territory. They just attacked us for no reason!" an enormous crocodile-shaped ancient beast next to Zhao Wan indignantly said.


    Other than this place, Zhao Wan''s forces in other areas were also being suppressed by the Blood Flame Qilin Race.


    "Zhao Wan, why isn''t he here yet?" Little Ling asked.


    The "he" Little Ling spoke of was naturally Zhao Feng, the true master of all these ancient beasts.


    But the danger this time was no minor matter. Even if Zhao Feng came, there would still be no hope.


    "He''s here," Zhao Wan calmly said.


    When Zhao Feng was about to arrive, Zhao Wan stopped worrying so much. After all, no matter what danger was encountered, Zhao Feng could take him away. It was just a pity about these ancient beast factions that he had managed to get control over with such great difficulty.


    Several million li away, Zhao Feng floated in the air. With his basic control over the Ancient Dream Realm, he could clearly see what was going on from this distance.


    "It''s him?" Zhao Feng was rather surprised.


    Zhao Feng had a deep impression of the Red Flame Qilin in that red cloud. When that secret dimension inside the Ancient Dream Realm opened, the Red Flame Qilin had suddenly attacked, causing all the elite True Gods of the three Sacred Lands to join together to fight back against it.


    At that time, Zhao Feng didn''t even dare to approach the battlefield.


    "It seems like Zhao Wan offended a top-notch four-and-a-half-star faction at the very least!" Zhao Feng slightly grimaced.


    If it was an ordinary four-and-a-half-star faction, Zhao Feng might have been able to rely on his advantage in the Ancient Dream Realm to resolve the crisis and perhaps even assume control over the faction. However, a powerful four-and-a-half-star faction would not have something as simple as two or three Ancient Gods. They could even have Rank Eight and Rank Nine Ancient Gods.


    He could only take things one step at a time. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhao Feng didn''t want to abandon this ancient beast herd.


    "Zhao Feng!" Little Ling, who was leading the herd, was the first to see Zhao Feng.


    She was instantly entranced by Zhao Feng''s beautiful hair and eyes. The Phoenix-Tailed Bird Race was one of the four most beautiful races of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and they also had an intense fondness for beautiful things.


    "Master!" A little less than half of that massive ancient beast herd respectfully called out to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had used the Dark Heart Seal on all of them.


    "Good Sir, if you have any issues, please speak directly!" Zhao Feng unleashed the aura of an Ancient God as he roared.


    This roar was suffused with the power of the Ancient Dream Realm, imbued with an enormous power and aura.


    Brrrooom!


    The world rumbled and boomed under the pressure exerted by Zhao Feng''s words. Even the two Ancient Gods in the red cloud were taken aback.


    "Ancient God!?" Little Ling yelped in surprise.


    When she was working with Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng was just a Quasi-God while she was a Rank Five True God. But now, in their next meeting, she had become a Rank Six True God while Zhao Feng had become an Ancient God!


    "Iron Fire, this kid''s strength isn''t simple," the Qilin with the broken horn coldly said.


    "Mm." Iron Fire nodded.


    Zhao Feng''s Ancient God energy wasn''t very strong, but the worldly pressure he exerted was truly astonishing.


    Iron Fire''s gaze fell upon the Spacetime Robe Zhao Feng was wearing.


    "The Spacetime Robe. He was one of those people¡­." Iron Fire''s expression froze in shock.


    The vast majority of those humans were only Quasi-Gods and True Gods, with the strongest being Rank Five True Gods. However, this person wearing the Spacetime Robe was an Ancient God. Had the owner of the Spacetime Robe managed to mature so quickly in just a few decades?


    Iron Fire gradually calmed down. Following the patriarch''s orders, he sent a message using a secret technique. A few moments later, a timeworn voice echoed in his soul; "Go. Fight him!"


    Iron Fire was surprised, but he didn''t question his orders.


    Kabooom!


    Iron Fire stepped forward, his eyes burning with bloody fire as he stared at Zhao Feng.


    "Mm?" Zhao Feng was rather surprised.


    His furious bellow suffused with the power of the Ancient Dream Realm had enough pressure to intimidate an ordinary Rank Seven Ancient God. In addition, the Blood Flame Qilin Race clearly had the ability to pursue and kill Zhao Wan''s group, but they hadn''t gone for the killing blow. These Ancient Gods had instead chosen to only occasionally attack and kill some ancient beasts.


    Thus, Zhao Feng conjectured that they had some other goal in this pursuit. But now, this Red Flame Qilin appeared ready to fight to the death with him.


    "Iron Fire?" The Qilin with the broken horn was also stunned and confused.


    "It just so happens that I have not fought an Ancient God yet. I''ll use you as practice!" Zhao Feng''s body also exploded with fighting intent.


    In the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng concealed his true cultivation. The strongest opponent he had faced was the peak Rank Six Xiahou Wu. This would be the first battle since he had become an Ancient God where he would fight with his full strength.


    Boom!


    The Red Flame Qilin''s body suddenly grew dozens of times larger, transforming into a fiery mountain that pressed down upon Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng didn''t dare to be careless. He activated the Sacred Lightning Body and charged forward, his entire body crackling with five-colored lightning.


    "Scatter!" The ancient beasts around Zhao Wan immediately fled in all directions, trying to get as far away from this battle of Ancient Gods as possible.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng and the huge Red Flame Qilin clashed. Lightning and flame madly battered against each other as the two figures parted.


    "What powerful strength!" Zhao Feng felt the blood in his body boiling.


    In the clash just now, even Zhao Feng''s powerful physical body felt a searing pain.


    "Again!" Zhao Feng bellowed as he circulated his Divine Power and Intent energy into an enormous palm of light.


    With no restraints to worry about in this battle, Zhao Feng''s body felt free and relaxed.


    "Seven kinds of Intent!?" Iron Fire''s eyes widened in shock.


    Normal Ancient God experts could use many kinds of Intent, but they were only proficient in one or two. However, there were seven Intents in Zhao Feng''s palm, and each of them was at Level Four.


    Brrrooom!


    Iron Fire didn''t dare to be careless. He activated his ancient bloodline, and his entire body exploded with fire. Iron Fire''s fighting power multiplied upon activating the Blood Flame Qilin Race bloodline. By relying on his powerful body and his flames, he was able to shatter Zhao Feng''s technique.


    "So powerful! He already managed to reach this level!?" Little Ling''s eyes shone with wondrous light as she observed the battle between the Red Flame Qilin and Zhao Feng.


    The other ancient beasts were also stunned as they watched their master battle with an Ancient God of the Blood Flame Qilin Race.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The sky exploded with fire and lightning as Zhao Feng and Iron Fire exchanged several dozen blows.


    This kid¡­ just what is going on with him? Iron Fire was flabbergasted.


    At the start, he and Zhao Feng were an equal match, but after ten rounds, Zhao Feng gradually began to gain the advantage. After twenty rounds, Iron Fire was finding it difficult to keep up!

 1263 Lord God

    Chapter 1263 - Lord God


    Zhao Feng, who had never fought at full strength, found himself very unsuited to his current level of power at the start of this battle. There were many areas that he found difficult to control.


    However, he quickly matured and began to control everything, upon which he was able to battle to his heart''s content. Coupled with the comprehension and judgment abilities granted by his God''s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng was not an opponent an ordinary Rank Seven Ancient God could fight against.


    Of course, there was another reason he could so rapidly take the advantage: the Spacetime Robe. The Spacetime Robe was a supreme-quality divine artifact. Now that Zhao Feng had become an Ancient God and had reached Level Five in Space Intent, he could now use a few of its other abilities.


    The Blood Flame Qilin Race was skilled in Fire Intent, and their attacks were powerful and explosive. However, the Spacetime Robe was capable of greatly mitigating most of this power. The remaining power in these attacks posed little harm to Zhao Feng.


    "Master is so strong!" As they saw Zhao Feng slowly suppress Iron Fire, the ancient beasts began to call out in pleasant surprise.


    Little Ling was in a daze. She never would have imagined that, when they next met, Zhao Feng would have become so strong such that she could only look up at him.


    "This kid has the Spacetime Robe, so Iron Fire is no match for him!" The Qilin with the broken horn had a glum expression.


    "Let''s go together to deal with this person!" The other Blood Flame Qilins began to look to the Qilin with the broken horn.


    "I alone am enough!"


    The Qilin with the broken horn already had a plan. Besides, the other members of his race simply didn''t have the strength to harm Zhao Feng. More numbers would only create more problems.


    He would attack at a crucial moment of the battle with the hopes of taking Zhao Feng by surprise and heavily injuring him. He would then work together with Iron Fire to steal the Spacetime Robe.


    But at this moment, a voice rang through the Qilin''s soul; "Staying there and watching will be good enough!"


    The voice made the soul of the Qilin with the broken horn tremble.


    "Patriarch!" The Qilin naturally knew who the expert was that had messaged him.


    He suddenly understood why Iron Fire had charged forward to fight with Zhao Feng. This was definitely the patriarch''s order!


    Even though he didn''t know the reason, he could only comply with the order.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Divine Power and Intent energy into a powerful palm that sent Iron Fire flying several li.


    Iron Fire''s body was currently covered in wounds, and his energy was flagging.


    "Too weak! Why don''t you come as well?" Zhao Feng smiled at the Qilin with the broken horn.


    Despite what he said, Zhao Feng understood that there were two reasons he was able to so easily defeat Iron Fire.


    One: This was the Ancient Dream Realm. Zhao Feng could borrow a part of this world''s strength with a thought and strengthen his attacks.


    Two: The Spacetime Robe was a powerful defense that made Zhao Feng almost invulnerable. Of course, if Zhao Feng used the other abilities of the Spacetime Robe as well, Iron Fire would be even worse off.


    "Kid, don''t get too full of yourself!"


    The Qilin, keeping in mind the patriarch''s orders, could only stomach his rage and give an angry roar.


    This attitude was truly surprising to Zhao Feng. Was this Blood Flame Qilin going to just watch as Iron Fire was defeated, perhaps even killed, by him?


    As he was thinking about this, Zhao Feng suddenly sensed a dangerous and scorching energy.


    He saw that Iron Fire, who he had sent flying, was beginning to swell with power. The scarlet flames on his body exploded and soared, forming a massive Qilin of fire that engulfed Iron Fire.


    Awoooo!


    Iron Fire howled as a torrid wave of heat swept through his surroundings and dyed the world red.


    "How terrifying! What''s going on?"


    "His strength is rapidly rising!"


    The ancient beasts around Zhao Wan were all stunned and dejected by this sight. The Blood Flame Qilins, on the other hand, were all excited by this.


    Patriarch is secretly helping him! the Qilin with the broken horn mentally noted in surprise.


    Iron Fire''s strength was swiftly increasing, and he was on the verge of becoming a Rank Eight Ancient God.


    At this moment, he was still wondering, why is the patriarch doing this? Could it be¡­ this youth is the person the patriarch is searching for?


    Boom!


    The ever-strengthening Iron Fire charged at Zhao Feng like a blazing sun.


    "Since you''re borrowing outside strength, I won''t be polite!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused as he began to circulate his Space Intent.


    In an instant, the dark silver robe on his body began to create layers of spatial blurs that blocked out the power exuded from Iron Fire''s body.


    Swish!


    As these spatial blurs appeared around Zhao Feng, he vanished and then appeared at Iron Fire''s side.


    Circulating his Five Elements and Wind Lightning Intent, Zhao Feng struck out with a palm. This palm was suffused with the power of the world, melded with the natural force of the Ancient Dream Realm. It was more powerful than any attack Zhao Feng had previously used.


    "Blazing Fire Dragon!" With this bellow, a long red dragon shot out from Iron Fire''s mouth.


    This red dragon was incredibly real and tangible, its scales of fire glimmering with red light and seething with heat. It crashed into Zhao Feng''s five-colored palm of light.


    Boom! Bang!


    In this clash, Zhao Feng''s palm of five-colored lightning was the first to crumble. But before that happened, Zhao Feng used the ability of the Spacetime Robe to blink behind Iron Fire.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm!" Zhao Feng used Spacetime Intent to fire off a massive palm that filled the heavens.


    This palm transcended space to descend upon Iron Fire''s body. At the same time, the power of Time Intent rippled through the world, depriving Iron Fire of the time to defend or dodge.


    Boom! Bang!


    The massive palm struck Iron Fire and weakened him.


    "He''s still no match for this kid!?" The Qilin with the broken horn was wide-eyed and slack-jawed.


    This is Iron Fire with the assistance of the patriarch! Even if that kid has the Spacetime Robe, there''s no reason for him to be this strong!


    But at this moment, Iron Fire''s body once more swelled with energy.


    "Rank Eight Ancient God!" The Qilin with the broken horn was absolutely dumbfounded.


    Iron Fire''s strength had crossed that threshold and reached Rank Eight!


    Someone is helping him! Zhao Feng''s face flickered.


    This time, Zhao Feng was able to sense through his control over the Ancient Dream Realm that an expert extremely far away was using a special method to transfer his energy to Iron Fire.


    Someone who can raise the strength of a Rank Seven Ancient God to Rank Eight must be a Rank Nine Ancient God at the least! Zhao Feng suddenly began to panic.


    Wait, if that person behind the curtain wanted to deal with me, why didn''t they just personally come? Why use a method like this¡­? Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be confused.


    Regardless, he was now rather wary. The moment that expert appeared, Zhao Feng would rush to Zhao Wan''s side and leave the Ancient Dream Realm together with him.


    "Blazing Fire Dragon!" Iron Fire''s savage mouth once more began to gather a scorching and dangerous energy.


    Zhao Feng''s gaze immediately cooled. At this moment, he finally turned serious.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye slowly began to turn, the silver eye rippling with wondrous and dreamy ripples of light.


    Hwooooom!


    A savage scarlet flame dragon shot out from Iron Fire''s mouth. This flame dragon seemed to have broken out from an underworld of fire, bringing with it berserk energy as it rushed at Zhao Feng.


    God Eye Disintegration!


    Zhao Feng had already been accumulating energy for his eye-bloodline technique, and at this moment, his left eye sent out a surge of peerless Eye Intent.


    However, Iron Fire was now a Rank Eight Ancient God, so disintegrating his supreme technique was much more difficult.


    Boom! Bang!


    The roaring scarlet dragon appeared about to swallow Zhao Feng. But it was still several hundred feet from Zhao Feng when suddenly, the dragon''s head disappeared, and then its neck, body, tail¡­. In the end, it completely vanished!


    "What?" Iron Fire was left dumbfounded.


    His supreme technique that he had unleashed with the help of his patriarch suddenly disappeared, and he couldn''t even understand how it happened.


    The Qilins and the beasts were all dumbfounded, standing in a daze like fools. All of this was far too bizarre.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body flickered, and he instantly appeared next to Iron Fire.


    God Eye Duplication ¨C Blazing Fire Dragon!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye immediately unleashed a dreamy mist.


    Brrrooom!


    A massive scarlet dragon exploded out of the mist and surged toward Iron Fire with a world-shaking momentum.


    "Impossible¡­!" Iron Fire was shocked out of his wits. How had Zhao Feng used his supreme technique? The power was also on the level of a Rank Eight Ancient God.


    Boom!


    Iron Fire was swallowed up by this familiar technique.


    All the world was silent. Everyone who witnessed this sight seemed to be petrified on the spot, so stunned they were. All of this was simply too inconceivable!


    Boom!


    After being struck by his own ultimate technique, Iron Fire lay on the ground, his body covered in wounds. The patriarch had already stopped sending him energy.


    Iron Fire had lost!


    At this moment, an incredibly oppressive and searing hot energy began to approach. A scarlet cloud of fire suddenly surged over from the horizon. In the next moment, a massive dark red figure appeared before everyone''s eyes.


    This was a savage and frightening monster of flames, a devil that had crawled out from the lava of the underworld.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body blinked and appeared at Zhao Wan''s side.


    The aura of this dark red giant was slightly weaker than the Spiritual Race''s Third Elder, but it was still a dreadful existence that Zhao Feng could not contend against.


    "Good Sir, please wait!" a deafening and astonishing voice suddenly resounded through the heavens.


    The ancient beasts around Zhao Feng immediately trembled in instinctive fear.


    Zhao Feng had a grim expression, his left eye focused on that approaching supreme expert. If he noticed things going the slightest bit awry, he would immediately leave.


    "For what matter does Senior call upon this junior for?" Zhao Feng coldly asked.


    A dark red Qilin appeared, his entire body seething with bloody flames, his expression wrathful and mighty¡­ this was a being that could dominate the entire world, a powerful hegemon.


    "Patriarch!" the Blood Flame Qilins deferentially called out.


    "Is Good Sir''s eye a God Eye?"


    The dark red Qilin''s question immediately left everyone stunned.


    God Eye!?


    In their minds, a God Eye was comparable to the terrifying bloodlines of the top ten ancient races. Each one was a legend, a godly existence that no one could reach.


    Everyone looked at Zhao Feng''s left eye. As they thought about all the inconceivable things that just occurred, they looked at Zhao Feng''s left eye in a different light.


    "Yes!" As Zhao Feng spoke this word, his figure seemed to become majestic and imposing.


    "Lord God, please accept the service of the Blood Flame Qilin Race!" The dark red Qilin that was still several li away from Zhao Feng lowered its body and respectfully spoke.


    This didn''t just make everyone else widen their eyes and drop their jaws in shock; even Zhao Feng''s calm face went stiff from the tremendous shock he received.

 1264 The Ninth God Eye

    Chapter 1264 - The Ninth God Eye


    "Lord God, please accept the service of the Blood Flame Qilin Race!" The dark red Qilin that was still several li away from Zhao Feng lowered its body and respectfully spoke.


    "¡­Patriarch!" All the Blood Flame Qilins were dumbstruck and speechless.


    The countless ancient beasts around Zhao Feng were also stunned, and their eyes immediately turned passionate as they looked upon Zhao Feng. Even the Blood Flame Qilin Race wanted to serve their master. Just how powerful was their master?


    They now had even more faith in Zhao Feng. Even those ancient beasts that Zhao Feng had not used the Dark Heart Seal on began to regard him with extreme respect, not daring to show the slightest hint of rebellion.


    "Just who is he?" Little Ling''s mind was still reeling from the shock, her eyes glimmering with brilliant lights.


    Zhao Feng was someone who had only just reached the Ancient God level while the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch stood at the peak of Ancient Gods. But at this moment, the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch seemed to be begging Zhao Feng to accept the service of his race.


    Everyone was focused on Zhao Feng.


    "Senior, have you perhaps made some sort of mistake?" After a long while, Zhao Feng helplessly asked.


    The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch was a peak Ancient God. In a direct battle, Zhao Feng had no chance of winning. Zhao Feng found it very strange for this expert to be treating him with such respect.


    "Patriarch, he''s just an Ancient God. His strength isn''t bad, but he doesn''t have the right to be our ally. How could you¡­?" The Qilin with the broken horn began to talk the moment he came back to his senses.


    The other members of the Blood Flame Qilin Race all nodded in agreement.


    "Shut your mouth!" the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch angrily bellowed. The energy nearby formed into a massive red storm that engulfed the area.


    All the Blood Flame Qilins immediately shut their mouths and stood straight up.


    "You are a God Eye holder. There will come a day when you will become a God Eye Ruler that reigns over a world as a god!" the dark red Qilin solemnly said.


    All the ancient beasts felt respect well up in their hearts.


    A God Eye Ruler! These words were carved in their hearts. They represented an absolute strength that reigned over a world ¨C the strongest existence in the universe!


    Could this person really mature into that kind of expert? Iron Fire''s eyes shone with sharp light as he examined Zhao Feng.


    But his eye is not any one of the Eight Great God Eyes!


    This question suddenly emerged in Iron Fire''s mind. In his battle with Zhao Feng, he had experienced the inconceivable power of Zhao Feng''s God Eye, but this power did not belong to any one of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    This question also appeared in the minds of others. They all knew a little about the abilities of the Eight Great God Eyes, but the abilities of Zhao Feng''s eyes did not appear to belong to any of them. Could it be¡­ a ninth God Eye?


    "I speculate that Your Excellency''s God Eye should be the Ninth God Eye!" the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch solemnly said.


    The Ninth God Eye!


    Everyone''s mind trembled!


    There had always been many theories about the Ninth God Eye in the universe, but none of them were provable, nor had the Ninth God Eye ever appeared.


    "Impossible! How could this kid be the Ninth God Eye!?" The Qilin with the broken horn immediately rejected this notion.


    Ever since the Eight Great God Eyes had appeared, countless experts of the universe had speculated about the Ninth God Eye. But even after countless eons, the Ninth God Eye had never appeared! Consequently, more people were of the opinion that the Ninth God Eye simply didn''t exist!


    "The Ninth God Eye, huh?" Zhao Feng softly muttered. Not even he was clear about this point.


    "How did you manage to sense me?" Zhao Feng suddenly asked.


    He felt that the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch''s goal was to seek him out. How had this Qilin managed to detect his God Eye?


    "Some time ago, I sensed a shift in the world, that the Origin energy of this dimension was moving strangely¡­." the dark red Qilin straightforwardly began to explain.


    As it turned out, the dark red Qilin noticed something strange when Zhao Feng''s left eye began to act up during his breakthrough in the Ancient Dream Realm. He began his search based on this reaction he had sensed, but just when he was about to find Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng finished his breakthrough and left the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Thus, the dark red Qilin used the members of his race to make trouble in the region to force Zhao Feng out. After finding Zhao Feng, the dark red Qilin confirmed his speculations by having Iron Fire fight with Zhao Feng. In addition, he increased Iron Fire''s strength in an attempt to force Zhao Feng to use the abilities of his left eye.


    In the end, he came to the firm conclusion that Zhao Feng possessed a God Eye!


    "Please forgive me for using this unreasonable method!" the dark red Qilin apologetically said.


    The people of the Blood Flame Qilin Race were still frozen as their minds tried to digest everything they were hearing. They finally understood why their patriarch had ordered them to come here and suppress the ancient beasts. It was to force out Zhao Feng.


    But why was their patriarch so sure that the abilities of Zhao Feng''s God Eye were the abilities of the Ninth God Eye? Zhao Feng was also very curious to hear the answer to this question.


    "It is difficult for a God Eye to mature, and one might encounter many powerful foes in the process. The Blood Flame Qilin Race is willing to serve the Lord God!" After giving his explanation, the dark red Qilin once more respectfully made his proposal.


    "I''m naturally willing to accept all of them, but you are too dangerous!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    The Blood Flame Qilin Race was a peak four-star faction at the very least. Zhao Feng was all too willing to accept such servants. However, the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch was far too powerful. Zhao Feng could not be sure that he was not scheming something. Thus, he could not rest easy with such a person at his side.


    "I am willing to sign a blood oath with Your Excellency!" The dark red Qilin had apparently expected that reply.


    "Patriarch, how could you?" The Blood Flame Qilins were all dumbstruck.


    Their patriarch wanted to sign a blood oath with this measly youth! If this youth really was the holder of the Ninth God Eye, they had no objections, but the Ninth God Eye was a thing of vague legends and rumors. How could they believe such a thing?


    "Your people are apparently very unsatisfied. This also unsettles me." Zhao Feng''s gaze swept over the Blood Flame Qilins.


    "You¡­!" The Blood Flame Qilins were all infuriated, but their fear and respect for their patriarch meant that they did not dare to act on their rage.


    "If Your Excellency is willing, you may instruct the people of my race. They will be completely convinced by Your Excellency''s powers!" the dark red Qilin advised.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    The Blood Flame Qilin Race was a peak four-star faction. Besides Rank Seven Ancient Gods like Iron Fire, there were definitely Rank Eight and even Rank Nine Ancient Gods. Did this dark red Qilin hope to see him defeat Rank Eight and Rank Nine Ancient Gods? The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch was clearly confident that Zhao Feng could convince the people of his race.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng decided to agree. He wanted to see what this dark red Qilin was planning.


    All the Blood Flame Qilins present immediately relaxed. As long as one of them could defeat Zhao Feng, their patriarch would not sign a blood oath with this youth.


    Once the real experts of the race arrive, this kid will lose for sure! the Qilin with the broken horn viciously said in his mind.


    The Blood Flame Qilins present were only a small portion of their race. They had other members of the race in other areas tasked with the same mission as themselves, and the rest were back at home.


    "Your Excellency, please wait a moment. The people of my race will all arrive soon!" The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch smiled.


    Both sides decided to wait in this region.


    Zhao Feng''s side maintained a large distance with the Blood Flame Qilin Race. This race was far too powerful, so if they were too close, Zhao Feng''s forces wouldn''t feel safe at all.


    "Your Excellency, if my judgment is correct, the power of your God Eye can control the strength of this world." At this moment, the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch messaged Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng faintly smiled. The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch apparently had a clever trick up his sleeve.


    "Correct," Zhao Feng directly said.


    As his God Eye continued to awaken, his control over this world expanded.


    "Each God Eye rules over one kind of strength. Although I do not know which strength Your Excellency''s God Eye rules over, I witnessed Your Excellency control the power of this world. Not even I can control the strength of this world like that," the Blood Flame Qilin Race slowly explained.


    Zhao Feng carefully listened. The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch knew much more than he did.


    "Your Excellency can try to use the God Eye''s Origin energy to control this world," the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch proposed his idea.


    "Perhaps it''s like that¡­." Zhao Feng fell into a contemplative mood after he finished listening.


    Before his God Eye had awakened, he used the God Eye''s Origin energy to close this dimension and expel the prodigies of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. After the awakening, Zhao Feng''s mind could fuse with the Ancient Dream Realm, which granted him several abilities. As a result, he had not tried to use the God Eye''s Origin energy yet.


    "Zhao Feng, there will definitely be problems with the Blood Flame Qilin Race. They will send Rank Eight and Rank Nine Ancient Gods," Little Ling worriedly said.


    How could Zhao Feng defeat Rank Nine Ancient Gods? She was also rather skeptical about Zhao Feng having the Ninth God Eye.


    "You should leave first. If the situation looks fishy, I have means of escaping safely." Zhao Feng was preparing to try out the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch''s idea.


    Bzzzz!


    A dreamy haze flitted across Zhao Feng''s left eye. Zhao Feng''s mind mixed with the God Eye''s Origin energy and fused with the world.


    Boom!


    At this moment, all living beings in a radius of several hundred thousand li felt an unprecedented pressure from the world. It felt like the world itself now had a mind of its own, its every thought able to dominate this land and decide whether they lived or died.


    "This¡­ what''s going on?" All the Blood Flame Qilins trembled as they fearfully surveyed their surroundings.


    They suddenly felt like some supreme expert was watching them. The pressure from the world was enormous. The ancient Origin energy, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and all the other kinds of energy in this world seemed to be under the complete control of this supreme master.


    It really is a little different! Zhao Feng''s lips curled into a smile.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s mind and the God Eye Origin energy returned to his body.


    As expected, this person''s God Eye Origin energy can control this dimension! The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch''s eyes twinkled.

 1265 To Serve Your Excellency

    Chapter 1265 - To Serve Your Excellency


    "What''s going on?"


    All the experts of the Blood Flame Qilin Race stood up in consternation. However, their patriarch appeared unperturbed, causing their concern to slowly fade.


    "Patriarch, just now-" The Qilin with the broken horn prepared to ask.


    "There''s no need to worry," the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch immediately interrupted him.


    On the other end, some of the more perceptive ancient beasts around Zhao Feng had noticed powerful ripples of energy coming from him a few moments ago.


    What''s going? Was that peculiar sensation in the world because of him? Little Ling turned her stunned eyes to Zhao Feng.


    Had the Ninth God Eye bestowed this ability on Zhao Feng? Was he really the owner of the Ninth God Eye?


    If I control the Ancient Dream Realm using this method, not even a Rank Eight Ancient God is a match for me! Zhao Feng was inwardly a little happy. But in the end, this was only an advantage he possessed in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    He proceeded to stabilize his strength and research his God Eye''s abilities.


    Meanwhile, more and more members of the Blood Flame Qilin Race arrived. One month later, all of the Blood Flame Qilin Race had gathered.


    "Your Excellency, we can begin now!" the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch called out.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng was already flying over, though he still maintained a set distance between himself and the Blood Flame Qilin Race.


    The members of the Blood Flame Qilin Race examined Zhao Feng and chatted with each other, their eyes shining with surprise, contempt, or disdain.


    "Let me see if you''re really the owner of a God Eye!" A savage-faced red Qilin charged out from the Blood Flame Qilin Race.


    "Rank Eight Ancient God!" Little Ling cried out in alarm.


    Zhao Feng had defeated Iron Fire, who had the strength of a Rank Eight. However, Iron Fire was secretly assisted by the patriarch, and his strength was only temporarily at Rank Eight. In all other aspects, he was still Rank Seven, so it was impossible to compare him with a real Rank Eight Ancient God.


    Awoooo!


    The red Qilin howled at the sky as he activated his bloodline. A scarlet flame swelled and began to twist like a tornado of fire.


    "Since you want to experience it, I''ll let you experience it!" Zhao Feng''s silver hair began to move on its own as his left eye began to twinkle with a strange radiance.


    Bzzzz!


    A hazy luster flickered through his left eye. Part of Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent carried some God Eye Origin energy and fused with the world.


    Zhao Feng immediately felt like this part of the world had become his body. With a single thought, a supreme pressure descended.


    The enormous power of the world crashed down upon the Red Flame Qilin.


    Hissss!


    The raging flames on his body appeared to have encountered the ocean, and his power dropped as his flames dimmed.


    "This¡­ what''s going on?" The Flame Qilin was stunned.


    The strength he had obtained from activating his bloodline was almost instantly suppressed. His current level of strength was even weaker than before he had activated his bloodline.


    "So, he was the one responsible for that strange activity!" Some of the Blood Flame Qilins immediately understood what was going on and blurted out their conclusions.


    They all originally believed that it was because some supreme expert on par with their patriarch was about to descend, but now¡­


    "This is the Origin energy of the world!" the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch muttered in shock. As he looked at Zhao Feng, his eyes instantly became excited!


    "You''re just a Rank Seven Ancient God. Even if my strength is suppressed, you''re still no match for me!" the Red Flame Qilin crazily roared.


    Boom!


    He transformed into a scorching ball of fire that shot at Zhao Feng.


    "Is that so?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    There was a massive explosion in the air.


    Kaboom!


    The part of his soul that was merged with the world unleashed an energy that locked space around the Red Flame Qilin.


    This Red Flame Qilin was planning to use Space Intent when he discovered that he was incapable of doing so. In fact, his body seemed to be spatially restricted, resulting in him moving much more slowly.


    Swish!


    A spatial blur appeared around Zhao Feng. He then vanished, reappearing right behind the Red Flame Qilin.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm!"


    Zhao Feng used his Space Intent. At this moment, his Space Intent was not only boosted by the Spacetime Robe, but by the spatial energy of the Ancient Dream Realm as well.


    An illusory palm appeared and then disappeared.


    Boom! Bang!


    When the palm appeared again, it was right in front of the Red Flame Qilin, crushing down on his body.


    "Ah¡­!" The Red Flame Qilin screamed as he was slammed into the ground. Even with his Blood Flame Qilin body and the strength of a Rank Eight Ancient God, he was still not able to endure the power of this palm.


    But he would never concede so easily.


    Boom! Bang!


    A storm of fire exploded from the ground as the Red Flame Qilin charged at Zhao Feng.


    "Blazing Sun Flame!" The Red Flame Qilin used his supreme bloodline technique, and a searing red light shot out from his mouth. This flame devoured everything in its path. The heat it radiated was enough to scald many of the ancient beasts in a radius of ten thousand li.


    God Eye Disintegration!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye slowly came to life, unleashing a ripple of Eye Intent together with a dreamy multi-colored light.


    Whoosh!


    As the red glow shot toward Zhao Feng, it began to dissipate. To outsiders, it appeared like the area around Zhao Feng was a forbidden zone that would cause all outside energy to disappear!


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng used Spatial Blink to make it impossible for the Red Flame Qilin to predict where he would eventually appear and attack from.


    God Eye Duplication ¨C Blazing Sun Flame!


    Zhao Feng didn''t get too close to the Red Flame Qilin before using the God Eye Duplication.


    Bzzzz!


    With a powerful ripple of Eye Intent, a dreamy mist burst out of his left eye. Suddenly, a scorching red light shot out from the mist.


    "This is¡­ my ultimate technique!" The Red Flame Qilin was stunned to the extreme.


    "This is the power of his God Eye?" In the distance, Iron Fire was also deeply shocked. As a bystander now, he was once more witnessing Zhao Feng''s inconceivable abilities.


    Not even Iron Fire realized that he had already acknowledged Zhao Feng as the holder of the Ninth God Eye.


    Boom! Bang!


    The searing red flame accurately struck the Red Flame Qilin. After this attack landed, Zhao Feng followed up with several Soul eye-bloodline techniques.


    "Ah¡­!" The Red Flame Qilin miserably screamed in the middle of a blackened pit of flames. The physical and spiritual attacks coupled with the pressure and repulsion of the world had completely deprived him of the ability to fight back.


    "Defeated!?" All the Blood Flame Qilins were dumbfounded.


    If they had not seen it for themselves, they would have never believed that a Rank Seven Ancient God would be able to so easily defeat a Rank Eight Ancient God Blood Flame Qilin.


    "Fight with me!" In a scarlet cloud, an Ancient God of peak Rank Eight wanted to fight with Zhao Feng to wash away the Blood Flame Qilin Race''s shame.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted, and his left eye exuded a powerful ripple of Eye Intent.


    A moment later, Zhao Feng''s left eye had become an ordinary black eye, but a massive silver Eye of Heaven had appeared in the sky. This silver eye was utterly enormous and had many different colors flowing within it. It was cold and callous, as if it represented the might of the heavens that looked down upon all living beings.


    Hwoooom!


    The dream-like silver eye suddenly began to turn.


    This sight struck fear in the hearts of all the living beings down below. This eye was simply too enormous. If this eye belonged to some creature, it would be difficult to imagine just how enormous this creature would be.


    In the end, this silver eye locked onto the Blood Flame Qilin that was preparing to fight.


    Boom!


    The boundless majesty of the world combined with a shapeless mental energy descended upon the Qilin.


    "This¡­ is¡­!?" The Blood Flame Qilin instantly felt like the sky was falling. His entire body trembled as he tried to resist the might of the heavens, but that mental energy made his soul tremble in fear.


    The Blood Flame Qilins around him were also caught up in this invisible pressure. They looked up to the sky, a feeling of insignificance and helplessness in their hearts.


    The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch also looked up at that massive divine silver eye that obscured the sky, his shock indescribable.


    "Lord God!" the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch suddenly spoke.


    The other members of the Blood Flame Qilin Race trembled both physically and mentally.


    "Lord God!" another Blood Flame Qilin called out.


    "Lord God!"


    "Lord God!"


    More and more Blood Flame Qilins were adding to the cries. Their worshiping voice echoed through the world.


    On the other end, the ancient beasts serving Zhao Feng also began to sincerely cry out, "Lord God!"


    At this moment, all the living beings for millions of li around raised their heads up to that silver eye in the sky. As the cries of "Lord God" shook the heavens, they also added their cries to the mix.


    In the sky, Zhao Feng had placed most of his mind into that massive Eye of Heaven. He never would have imagined that the Eye of Heaven would become like this when used with God Eye Origin energy. At this moment, he could see incredibly far, and as he looked down upon the world, he could hear the countless living beings worshiping him.


    He was also extremely stunned by all of this. It was like he truly had become the Lord God who reigned over all in this land.


    Not good! My God Eye energy is rapidly dwindling!


    A wave of fatigue swept through Zhao Feng''s soul. With a Swoosh!, the enormous silver eye disappeared.


    The world returned to serenity. Zhao Feng''s left eye regained its silvery luster.


    It consumes a lot! Zhao Feng sensed that his left eye was no longer capable of using any Origin energy.


    After all, he had used this energy in his battle and then when he used that Eye of Heaven, so the Origin energy was consumed even more quickly.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng sensed that something strange was happening. All the members of the Blood Flame Qilin Race had lowered their heads while the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch was slowly stepping forward.


    "Lord God, please allow my race to serve Your Excellency!"

 1266 Watched

    Chapter 1266 - Watched


    With the Blood Flame Qilin Race willing to serve Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng made a blood contract with the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch. The contents of the contract were simple; the Blood Flame Qilin Race would heed Zhao Feng''s orders and not attack him. Similarly, Zhao Feng would not intentionally try to harm the Blood Flame Qilin Race.


    Soon after, Zhao Feng and the many ancient beasts under his command moved to the territory of the Blood Flame Qilin Race.


    The Blood Flame Qilin Race was a peak four-star faction and occupied a large region in the middle of the Ancient Dream Realm. This area had many more resources than the outer edge.


    Now, the territory of the Blood Flame Qilin Race had become Zhao Feng''s main base in the Ancient Dream Realm. In the future, Zhao Wan could use the power of the Blood Flame Qilin Race to expand and harvest many times more resources than before.


    "It''s about time for me to leave."


    Zhao Feng stayed with the Blood Flame Qilin Race for only a few days.


    The techniques and skills of the Blood Flame Qilin Race were all meant for the Blood Flame Qilin bloodline. Although Zhao Feng had the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline, the effect of training in these techniques would not be comparable to when the Blood Flame Qilins cultivated them.


    For techniques, one naturally had to select the ones most suitable to oneself, and ones of the highest quality. Once one began to cultivate a technique, changing to another one midway was extremely troublesome. Thus, Zhao Feng preferred to spend a little more time finding a technique appropriate for him.


    Before leaving, Zhao Feng took a stroll around the Blood Flame Qilin Race and snatched up some precious resources that he required.


    "When I''m not present, the Blood Flame Qilin Race won''t possibly obey Zhao Wan completely." Zhao Feng suddenly realized something.


    The Blood Flame Qilin Race only respected him because of his God Eye. Although Zhao Wan had the Eye of Myriad Forms, he was not an actual bloodline descendant. Moreover, he was also weaker in terms of strength.


    In the end, Zhao Feng decided to have Zhao Wan break into the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    Originally, Zhao Wan had enough potential and talent to keep on building up energy, but there was nothing to be done now. If Zhao Wan could not keep up in strength, he wouldn''t be able to be very useful.


    "I''ll take a trip to the Five Elements Palace!"


    A five-colored crystal sphere appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, in which a dazzling and ornate palace quietly lay.


    Swish!


    With a thought, Zhao Feng entered the palace.


    "Zhao Feng!" Someone immediately noticed the moment Zhao Feng appeared in the Five Elements Palace.


    The Quasi-Gods and True Gods imprisoned here all had lofty statuses in their own factions. They would not easily bend the knee to Zhao Feng. Moreover, they had only been imprisoned for a few decades, which was only a brief moment in their perspective.


    In addition, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and Intent energy within the Five Elements Palace were extremely dense. This was a place where the Five Elements God Lord had secluded himself, and he had even left behind profound combat skills inside. This was an ideal place for cultivation. Although they were imprisoned here, they were spending every moment cultivating so that they could get stronger and break free from Zhao Feng.


    "Activate the array!" a Rank Five True God bellowed.


    Kabooom!


    A complicated multi-colored array immediately appeared under Zhao Feng''s feet. At the same time, powerful ripples of Intent converged in all directions to lock Zhao Feng within four five-colored walls.


    "Attack!" Nearly eighty experts immediately used their most powerful skills and secret techniques.


    Boom!


    Powerful ripples of Divine Power filled the air as a flurry of attacks passed through the seal of the array and descended upon Zhao Feng.


    "Still so stubborn?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but chuckle at the force deployed against him.


    Zhao Feng could tell that all of these people had gotten much stronger. For example, Quasi-God Zi Feng of Violet Night Hall was now probably stronger than the strongest Quasi-God of the Spiritual Race.


    Swish!


    A dark silver robe draped itself over Zhao Feng''s body. He circulated his Divine Power and Space Intent to activate the power of the Spacetime Robe.


    "Spatial Barrier!"


    Flickering spatial images appeared around him. As the Divine Power attacks hit these spatial images, their power was greatly reduced, as if they had been sent to another dimension. In the end, all the attacks vanished before they could even touch Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, powerful energy swept out from Zhao Feng. All the experts immediately felt a stifling pressure.


    "How could this be? This energy, it''s¡­ Rank Seven Ancient God!" a peak Rank Five True God blurted out in fear and trepidation.


    "Impossible, impossible! He must be using the power of the palace to imitate the energy of an Ancient God!" Quasi-God Zi Feng shook his head in utter disbelief.


    The last time Zhao Feng had come here was only half a year ago, and he was still just a Quasi-God then. Even if a Quasi-God became a True God, they couldn''t possibly cultivate to Rank Seven Ancient God in such a short amount of time.


    None of them could have imagined that Zhao Feng had directly attained the rank of Ancient God.


    "I intentionally let all of you stay here to enjoy the excellent cultivation resources here, but it seems like none of you have made much progress." Zhao Feng chortled, ignoring their shock.


    In truth, Zhao Feng was completely capable of sealing these people in one zone of the palace and preventing them from using the cultivation resources of this place. But Zhao Feng did not do this, instead allowing these people to get stronger.


    The first reason was because Zhao Feng wasn''t worried about the possibility of escape. The second reason was that Zhao Feng planned to use these people, so he hoped that their strength would continue to climb.


    Boom! Bang!


    As Zhao Feng stepped forward, he shattered the special array that was sealing him.


    "I''m now an Ancient God. Once my strength reaches a certain level, you won''t even have the right to be my slaves!" Zhao Feng''s voice suddenly turned a bone-chilling cold, stabbing into their hearts like frigid needles!


    Zhao Feng''s cultivation speed was simply too incredible. He was now a Rank Seven Ancient God, far above all the people present. Who could predict just what level Zhao Feng would be at when he appeared next time?


    Hwoosh!


    Intent Crystals detached from the walls and floated into Zhao Feng''s hand.


    At the Ancient God level, Zhao Feng no longer had any use for ordinary Intent Crystals. Only high-level Intent Crystals were of any use to an Ancient God. Fortunately, this five-colored palace had quite a number of such Intent Crystals.


    This time, Zhao Feng took so many Intent Crystals that it was actually affecting the operation of the Five Elements Palace. However, Zhao Feng was already an Ancient God, so he simply wasn''t worried that these people might escape.


    After taking the Intent Crystals, Zhao Feng moved to the cultivation hall.


    His gaze focused on the three murals. Using his control over the Five Elements Palace, Zhao Feng took away the techniques and skills on the three murals.


    As Zhao Feng was preparing to leave:


    "Zhao Feng, hold on!" a hesitant voice called for Zhao Feng to stop. "I''m willing to be your slave!"


    The speaker was an ordinary Quasi-God. He had a somewhat weaker personality and was no longer able to endure this kind of imprisonment. This, together with Zhao Feng''s intimidating Ancient God cultivation, made him the first to submit.


    One person submitting would shake the resolves of the others. Just as expected, another voice spoke, "I as well!"


    This Quasi-God belonged to the same faction as the first Quasi-God.


    Afterward, five more people chose to submit to Zhao Feng.


    "Hmph, good-for-nothings!" Quasi-God Zi Feng coldly snorted, his eyes brimming with disdain.


    "Your choice is very wise. I will treat you far better than the factions you once belonged to." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    With a thought, Zhao Feng took himself and these people from the palace. The people left behind fell into silent thought.


    In the Ancient Dream Realm, the seven people were brought to the Blood Flame Qilin Race.


    Zhao Feng planted the Dark Heart Seal in all seven of their souls.


    "In the future, all of you will stay here." Zhao Feng had no plans to release them to the outside world.


    "The Blood Flame Qilin Race in their original forms! What kind of place is this?" a True God expert said in shock.


    "The Wild Ancient Secret Dimension." Zhao Feng gave a mysterious smile.


    "How could this be?" The seven immediately felt their minds short-circuit. How could they appear in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension?


    After giving the seven people and a portion of the Intent Crystals to Zhao Wan, Zhao Feng left the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Upon returning to the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng once more concealed his energy, even using a God Sealing Stone to seal one Divine Stage.


    Zhao Feng was currently residing in a palace meant specially for core disciples. Not even the Spiritual Race Elders were allowed to brashly scan the area with their Divine Senses.


    Upon leaving his palace, he encountered an inner disciple standing by his gate. The moment the inner disciple saw Zhao Feng, he immediately told Zhao Feng what was going on and took out a large stack of invitations. After explaining everything, the inner disciple left.


    "These are all invitations from various major factions¡­?" Zhao Feng felt a headache coming on as he closed the gate of his palace and threw the letters into his Interspatial Dimension. "I shouldn''t show off too much for now."


    These factions that paid a visit to the Spiritual Race probably hadn''t left yet.


    "I''ll first leave the Spiritual Race for a while. I might as well bring Zhao Hui back to this place." Zhao Feng made his plans.


    That night, Zhao Feng messaged Zhao Yufei saying that he was leaving the Spiritual Race for a spell and there was no need for her to worry. Afterward, with the help of Kong Die, Zhao Feng left the Spiritual Race without alarming anybody.


    After leaving the territory of the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng put on a white veil and set off on his journey. After all, the color of his hair and eye were far too obvious. Anyone in the know would immediately recognize who Zhao Feng was. This was also why he had sought Kong Die''s help to depart the Spiritual Race.


    ¡­


    Near the outer edge of the Spiritual Race, Ancient God Night Dragon and his group had been waiting this entire time.


    "You can''t stay hiding in the Spiritual Race forever!" Ancient God Night Dragon had a cold and gloomy face.


    The Spiritual Race and Violet Night Hall were both five-star factions, and there were three zones in between them. Even if he killed Zhao Feng, the Spiritual Race wouldn''t do anything to Violet Night Hall. At most, they would just demand compensation. Comparing this compensation to killing a genius like Zhao Feng and also obtaining the five-colored palace and saving the people of Violet Night Hall, the choice was immediately obvious.


    "Senior Night Dragon, the search instrument is reacting!" On this day, Ancient God Night Dragon received a message.


    "He''s finally left the Spiritual Race!" Ancient God Night Dragon gave an elated smile. "Move out!"


    After sending a message, Ancient God Night Dragon used Instant Movement to leave.

 1267 Spacetime Seal

    Chapter 1267 - Spacetime Seal


    The Spiritual Race was located in the center of the Ziling Zone, while the Life Origin Sect where Zhao Hui was located was on the outer edge.


    In Zhao Feng''s journey from the Life Origin Sect to the Spiritual Race, he needed more than half a year, and this was even though he used teleportation arrays. But now, Zhao Feng possessed such incredible power that he could cover this distance in half the time just by using his Instant Movement.


    He also had the token identifying him as a core disciple of the Spiritual Race, so he could use the teleportation arrays of any faction along his route. When Zhao Feng passed through some of these factions, the upper echelons would come out to personally welcome him.


    "The identity of a Spiritual Race core disciple is very useful!" Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    He thought back to how, when he was fleeing from the Gulong Zone, he couldn''t even use the teleportation arrays of major factions for fear of being hunted down. He spent the majority of the time flying.


    At a certain moment, a massive mountain that soared tens of thousands of feet into the air appeared in front of Zhao Feng. It was tens of thousands of li in circumference. As Zhao Feng was passing by this mountain, he suddenly sensed a heaven-shaking energy explode from the clouds ahead.


    Zhao Feng suddenly focused his eyes as he rapidly began to retreat.


    Boom!


    At this moment, Space Intent surged out from the surroundings. Curtains of violet darkness appeared in every direction. Within these curtains of darkness were dark clouds, a violet moon, and countless stars.


    In the end, these curtains of violet darkness linked together and sealed off the area for tens of thousands of li around. The entire world seemed to become a violet-colored night, cut off from the outside world.


    "Junior, you were finally willing to come out!" Ancient God Night Dragon''s figure slowly emerged from the violet night.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng immediately put on the Spacetime Robe.


    "Don''t waste your strength. This Illusion Space Violet Domain Array was prepared especially for you. If you were a little stronger, you might have been able to use the power of the Spacetime Robe to leave, but¡­" Ancient God Night Dragon gave a vicious laugh.


    Zhao Feng was a Rank Six True God with the Spacetime Robe and the five-colored crystalline palace. Moreover, he had been acknowledged by the Spiritual Race, so if the Spiritual Race had given Zhao Feng some trump cards to save his life, not even Ancient God Night Dragon was confident that he could kill Zhao Feng quickly.


    Thus, Ancient God Night Dragon moved ahead of Zhao Feng and put down this powerful array in his path. In this Illusion Space Violet Domain Array, even his own Space Intent was restricted.


    "Who said that I wanted to leave?" Upon putting on the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng didn''t use any of its powers. Instead, he smiled at Ancient God Night Dragon.


    "If I hadn''t intentionally limited my speed so that the people of your race could follow me and also traveled in a straight line, would you really have been able to get in front of me and had time to lay down this array?" Zhao Feng exposed everything.


    The evolution of his God''s Spiritual Eye had greatly increased his range of vision. He noticed the people of the Violet Night Race following him the moment he left the Spiritual Race.


    Zhao Feng walked into his enemy''s trap for one purpose ¨C to kill this Ancient God that was pursuing him!


    "I naturally know that, but do you really think that, just because you became a Rank Six True God in one go, you can defeat me with some treasures and divine artifacts?" Ancient God Night Dragon laughed.


    He had noticed that Zhao Feng''s route was too straight, as if he was doing so deliberately. However, would he ¨C an Ancient God ¨C be afraid of a Rank Six True God? Even if the Spiritual Race had given Zhao Feng some trump cards that made it impossible for him to kill Zhao Feng, he wouldn''t lose much from the effort. And once he killed Zhao Feng, he would obtain all the treasures Zhao Feng owned!


    "How would I know if I don''t try?" There was something sly and cunning about Zhao Feng''s smile.


    "Heheh!" Ancient God Night Dragon chuckled in derision.


    Boom!


    Ancient God Night Dragon activated his bloodline. His entire body transformed into a thick violet liquid that fused with the surrounding darkness.


    Zhao Feng immediately noticed a pressure being exerted upon him by the surrounding space. At the same time, the stars, the violet moon, and the dark clouds began to move according to strange laws.


    "Illusion Dao power?" Zhao Feng''s left eye exuded a supreme Eye Intent that allowed him to remain clear-minded.


    This kid''s eye-bloodline is truly unusual. It can actually ignore the Illusion Dao power of the Illusion Space Violet Domain Array? The hidden Ancient God Night Dragon was rather surprised.


    The Illusion Space Violet Domain Array had three major uses:


    One; isolate a region from the outside world and prevent an opponent from using Space Intent.


    Two; create Illusion Dao power that average experts of the same level would find very hard to resist.


    Three; boost the bloodline power of the Violet Night Race.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two figures formed from sparkling violet liquid appeared in the violet night. These figures thrummed with dreadful power as they charged at Zhao Feng.


    "Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain!" Zhao Feng''s body immediately unleashed dazzling five-colored lightning.


    With Zhao Feng as the center, the area suddenly became a dimension of five-colored lightning. As soon as those two violet figures entered the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain, they were suppressed by the power of the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning.


    Swish!


    Ancient God Night Dragon''s attack was weakened by more than twenty percent.


    "Eh? This kid''s not bad!" Ancient God Night Dragon was taken aback.


    The gap between a Rank Six True God and a Rank Seven Ancient God was very large. Moreover, the Violet Night Race''s bloodline would be boosted in the Illusion Space Violet Domain Array, which meant that Ancient God Night Dragon was far stronger than usual.


    Despite that, Zhao Feng''s skill was still capable of weakening his attack.


    "Appear!" A five-colored pearl appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    The five-colored pearl floated in the air and unleashed a vortex, transforming into a massive five-colored palace that blocked the rest of the attack''s power.


    "Haha, I was waiting for you to take it out!" Ancient God Night Dragon gave a sinister smile.


    The five-colored palace Zhao Feng owned was a supreme defensive divine artifact. Even Ancient God Night Dragon would find it very difficult to break through it.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Night Dragon''s body suddenly emerged on the other side of the five-colored palace. He held a fan of violet crystal in his hand, which he used to send out a wave of violet light.


    Shwoosh!


    Fine tendrils of violet light stabbed at Zhao Feng like lightning bolts.


    "And I was waiting for you to show yourself!" Zhao Feng suddenly sneered, and his left eye exploded with supreme Eye Intent.


    Swish!


    A violet-silver bolt of fiery lightning appeared in his silver eye. The dreadful Tribulation Lightning energy in this flame immediately made Ancient God Night Dragon feel that something was wrong.


    Kacrack!


    The violet-silver Tribulation Lightning flame exploded on Ancient God Night Dragon''s soul.


    "What a powerful soul attack¡­!" Ancient God Night Dragon yelped in shock. He was more and more sensing that there was something wrong about the situation.


    At this moment, he suddenly sensed a powerful and majestic energy.


    Ancient God! These words suddenly emerged in Ancient God Night Dragon''s mind.


    Zhao Feng chose to stop hiding his strength!


    Ding! Bangbang!


    Ancient God Night Dragon''s attack, weakened by the Spacetime Robe, fell against Zhao Feng''s body and stirred a few arcs of electricity.


    "Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Palm!" After receiving Ancient God Night Dragon''s attack, Zhao Feng gathered Tribulation Lightning energy and unleashed a massive palm of dense five-colored lightning.


    "What a powerful attack! This is no weaker than an average Ancient God!" Ancient God Night Dragon shook free of the pain that wracked his soul, and his face contorted in shock.


    "Violet Void!" Ancient God Night Dragon activated his bloodline power, and his body was immediately shrouded in layers of flickering violet light.


    This palm was Zhao Feng''s true attack, and Ancient God Night Dragon had to face it with all his strength.


    God Eye Disintegration!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye rippled with Eye Intent. There was an illusory flicker of light, and then a dreamy mist poured out.


    The flickering violet lights around Ancient God Night Dragon suddenly dimmed and then vanished.


    "This¡­ how?" Ancient God Night Dragon''s face was stricken with fear and confusion. His secret defensive bloodline technique and the strength he had poured into it had both vanished.


    Boom! Hisss!


    The five-colored lightning palm infused with the terrifying physical power of Tribulation Lightning rumbled toward him. In the Illusion Space Violet Domain Array, Ancient God Night Dragon''s Space Intent was also partially restrained.


    He knew that he couldn''t dodge, so he took out a high-quality divine artifact.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Night Dragon activated the divine artifact to its maximum extent.


    "A high-quality divine artifact!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    Based on what his God Eye could observe, this divine artifact wasn''t too great, but it had barely crossed the threshold into high quality.


    God Eye Disintegration!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye focused on this high-quality defensive divine artifact.


    Bzzzz!


    A layer of dreamy mist shot forward. The divine artifact in Ancient God Night Dragon''s hand suddenly lost some of its luster.


    "What¡­ what''s going on here!?" Ancient God Night Dragon''s eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.


    When he used his defensive bloodline technique, the strength within it had inexplicably vanished. Now, the energy of the divine artifact in his hand was also dropping.


    Boom! Hisss!


    However, there was no time for him to be stunned, as Zhao Feng''s attack was already colliding against the divine artifact.


    Even though the power of the defensive divine artifact had decreased, it was still able to block Zhao Feng''s attack.


    God Eye Disintegration!


    Zhao Feng focused the power of the God Eye Disintegration on a certain crucial area of the divine artifact. In a flash, all the disintegrative power converged on that area.


    Cha!


    A thin crack appeared on the high-quality divine artifact. In an instant, the energy of the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Palm charged at that weak area.


    The destructive nature of this clash almost caused this divine artifact''s quality to drop down to average quality.


    Boom! Bang!


    The rest of the power in Zhao Feng''s attack threw Ancient God Night Dragon all the way to the edge of the Illusion Space Violet Domain Array.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm! Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Palm!"


    Zhao Feng continued to pile on the attacks, giving Ancient God Night Dragon no chance to catch his breath.


    "Damn, this kid¡­ he''s too strange!" Ancient God Night Dragon''s violet body was extremely dim.


    He had lost this time. He was no match for Zhao Feng!


    The primary reason for that was that Zhao Feng was actually an Ancient God. In addition, the abilities of his eye-bloodline were terrifying and extremely bizarre.


    But he should be here soon. This kid will still die! Ancient God Night Dragon snorted.


    Swish!


    Ancient God Night Dragon left the boundary of the array and prepared to flee. If Zhao Feng pursued, he would only be speeding up his death.


    "Where are you going!?" Zhao Feng coldly barked.


    His left eye once more unleashed a powerful Eye Intent together with a supreme Spacetime Intent.


    "Spacetime Seal!"


    Spacetime Intent descended upon Ancient God Night Dragon.


    "This is¡­ the power¡­ of Spacetime¡­ Intent!" Ancient God Night Dragon blurted out in shock.


    To any bystanders, his words appeared to be spoken very slowly, like a child learning how to speak.


    Zhao Feng had started cultivating the Spacetime Seal a long time ago, but the extreme difficulty meant that Zhao Feng was not capable of exhibiting this technique''s power. Now that he was an Ancient God, the situation was different.


    At this moment, not only could Ancient God Night Dragon not use Space Intent, but he was also bound by Time Intent. He was in a slow-motion world where Zhao Feng could cut him down as he pleased!

 1268 Another Visit to the Life Origin Sec

    Chapter 1268 - Another Visit to the Life Origin Sect


    After being struck by a spacetime eye-bloodline technique, Ancient God Night Dragon was in a world of slow motion. Even his thoughts moved at an extremely slow pace.


    And this was an eye-bloodline technique that was locked onto his body, so no matter where he ran, the effects of the eye-bloodline technique would remain.


    But Ancient God Night Dragon was still a Rank Seven Ancient God. He was also skilled in Space Intent and had built up some resistance. Moreover, Zhao Feng had barely grasped this eye-bloodline technique, so it was difficult for him to maintain its effects for a very long time.


    "Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng immediately used his Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Divine Power, fusing it with his physical strength into several massive palms of lightning.


    Damn! This kid obtained the Spacetime Robe, comprehended Spacetime Intent, and even learned some spacetime eye-bloodline techniques¡­. Ancient God Night Dragon watched as Zhao Feng''s attacks descended, but he couldn''t dodge. He didn''t even have time to use any defensive techniques. He could do nothing except use his damaged divine artifact to try to block the attacks.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Night Dragon''s body was sent flying several li. The massive mountain of rock was almost instantly flattened.


    I''ve recovered quite a bit. Ancient God Night Dragon sensed that the Spacetime Intent afflicting him was rapidly weakening. However, his injuries were also incredibly severe, so he needed to leave as quickly as possible.


    Swish!


    With a wave of Zhao Feng''s left hand, a man covered in pitch-black scales appeared.


    "Kill him!" Zhao Feng coldly said.


    "Heh, a heavily injured Ancient God?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon licked its lips and gave a bloodthirsty smile.


    It had spent most of this recent period in the Spacetime Robe Dimension and had now recovered all of its former strength. It had been many years since it had last seen blood.


    The Destruction Dragon Race bloodline had always been fond of killing and destruction. This period of secluded cultivation was rather arduous for the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Boom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body seethed with demonic flames that exuded a dreadful energy that could incinerate all living beings. Wherever it went, he left an aura of destruction and calamity.


    At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had returned to its Rank Six True God cultivation!


    "Destruction Dragon Race¡­!" Ancient God Night Dragon blurted out in shock.


    Even his Violet Night Race bloodline faintly trembled and was suppressed by the thin bloodline of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. In the blink of an eye, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Feng reached him.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon formed a massive claw of black and red flames and fired it.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng''s ability to deal physical damage was perhaps not on par with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, so he chose to attack Ancient God Night Dragon''s soul.


    Boom! Bang!


    A burst of lightning and flame engulfed Ancient God Night Dragon.


    At this moment, the Spacetime Seal on Ancient God Night Dragon''s body had completely dissipated, but his injuries were so severe that he was now teetering on the edge of death.


    "Hmph, die!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon saw that Ancient God Night Dragon was still trying to resist and immediately pushed its bloodline to the limit to suppress him. At the same time, it also launched a Destructive attack.


    Zhao Feng also continued to barrage Ancient God Night Dragon''s soul.


    "Ah¡­!" Ancient God Night Dragon shrilly screamed as his mauled body was engulfed in lightning and flames.


    "Die!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon slashed down with a claw seething with Destructive draconic flames.


    Boom!


    Ancient God Night Dragon''s body and soul were finally destroyed, transforming into dust that was blown away with the wind.


    "I finally killed you¡­." Zhao Feng''s eyes glimmered with vicious light.


    Twenty-five years ago, while he was fleeing from two Ancient Gods, he had resolved himself to one day purge himself of that humiliation. Today, one of those Ancient Gods had finally died at his hand.


    "Someone strong is approaching!" Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching.


    "It''s him!" Zhao Feng''s eyes went cold.


    Swoosh!


    The newcomers were none other than Ancient God Black Heaven and the two True Gods from Violet Night Hall.


    "That''s¡­" Ancient God Black Heaven''s face immediately turned gloomy.


    Near Zhao Feng, the dust of Ancient God Night Dragon''s body was slowly scattering in the air.


    "Senior Night Dragon!" the two True Gods of Violet Night Hall cried out in shock.


    How could they have expected for Ancient God Night Dragon to die at the hands of their target? Wasn''t Zhao Feng just a Rank Six True God? How could he now be a Rank Seven Ancient God with the ability to kill someone of the same level?


    "You''ve been chasing me because you want this, right?" A triangular piece of metal appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand as he stared at Ancient God Black Heaven.


    In order to evade Ancient God Black Heaven, Zhao Feng had used the God Sealing Stone to completely suppress this metal triangle. But now, he revealed this item to Ancient God Black Heaven.


    Ancient God Black Heaven''s entire body trembled at the sight of this object. His eyes were entirely focused on the metal triangle as if Zhao Feng didn''t exist.


    "Just what sort of secret is inside this thing?" Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t help but examine this piece of metal.


    It was capable of forcing an Ancient God to doggedly pursue someone for several decades. This metal triangle definitely wasn''t as simple as it seemed on the surface.


    "Zhao Feng, if you give that to me, Ancient Soul Hall won''t make any trouble for you in the future!" Ancient God Black Heaven took in a deep breath to calm himself and then turned his gaze to Zhao Feng.


    In the past, he would have not wasted time exchanging words with Zhao Feng and would have just attacked him. However, just a moment ago, Ancient God Night Dragon had fallen at Zhao Feng''s hand, forcing him to take another look at Zhao Feng.


    In battles against those of the same level, it was very difficult for one to kill the other. Despite that, Zhao Feng had only just become an Ancient God and yet was already capable of killing an Ancient God of the Violet Night Race.


    Moreover, Zhao Feng also had a black serpent dragon with the bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race. Although Ancient God Black Heaven had two Rank Five True Gods of Violet Night Hall at his side, they were completely useless. If their two sides were to fight, Ancient God Black Heaven would undoubtedly be the disadvantaged one.


    "Did I say anything about letting you off?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sneer.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t control whether Ancient Soul Hall would leave him be, but Zhao Feng did know that he would not let Ancient God Black Heaven off.


    "You¡­!" Ancient God Black Heaven wanted to threaten him.


    However, Zhao Feng was now a core disciple of the Spiritual Race, a genius who had directly become a Rank Six True God and then reached the Ancient God level in a short year. The Spiritual Race definitely wouldn''t sit back if Ancient Soul Hall wanted to deal with Zhao Feng.


    "You will regret this!" Black Heaven coldly spat out and then turned to leave.


    "Senior Black Heaven¡­!" The two True Gods of Violet Night Hall saw that Ancient God Black Heaven was preparing to leave and immediately called out.


    If not even Ancient God Night Dragon could kill Zhao Feng, the two of them were certainly no match. Thus, they hoped that Ancient God Black Heaven would take them with him at least.


    "Seeking death!" Ancient God Black Heaven''s face savagely contorted as he angrily bellowed.


    In his foul mood, these two True Gods dared to bother him?


    Swoosh!


    A black and violet light exploded from Ancient God Black Heaven''s claws, tearing apart the bodies and souls of these two True Gods of Violet Night Hall.


    After killing these two, Ancient God Black Heaven left.


    "Heheh!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon smugly laughed.


    It had returned to its prime and even killed an Ancient God. All this was simply far too refreshing.


    "I''ll leave him alive for now." Zhao Feng harrumphed.


    In comparison to Ancient God Night Dragon, he would''ve preferred to kill Ancient God Black Heaven. However, Ancient God Black Heaven was far stronger than Ancient God Night Dragon. Moreover, he had just gone through a major battle that taxed his strength. Even if he worked together with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, he didn''t have the confidence to kill Ancient God Black Heaven.


    Unless¡­ he used the strength of the Blood Flame Qilin Race! But this was no guarantee. After all, the Blood Flame Qilin Race had only promised to serve Zhao Feng without harming him. If they emerged and escaped Zhao Feng''s control, they were completely capable of divulging Zhao Feng''s secret and getting others to kill him.


    "Leave him alive?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was stunned. It knew that Zhao Feng had obtained the aid of the Blood Flame Qilin Race, so killing Ancient God Black Heaven was not a difficult task at all.


    His future is inestimable! The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon internally sighed.


    In the past, Zhao Feng wasn''t even an ant in its eyes, but now, even at its peak, it was no match for Zhao Feng.


    After putting away the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng continued on his journey.


    This time, he used Instant Movement to travel at full speed. After a little more than two months, he finally arrived at the Life Origin Sect.


    Zhao Feng, wearing the white-veiled hat, entered the Life Origin Sect.


    "Who is visiting?" Several guards immediately went to stop him.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out the token showing that he was a core disciple of the Spiritual Race.


    "This one had eyes but could not see, not knowing that Good Sir was a core disciple of the Spiritual Race. Please forgive this offense!" All the guards in front of Zhao Feng got down on their knees.


    The Life Origin Sect was a peak four-star faction, but it was under the administration of the Spiritual Race. Even the core disciples of the Life Origin Sect would have to treat the core disciples of the Spiritual Race with great respect, let alone these guards.


    "What matter brings Good Sir to the Life Origin Sect?" a guard asked.


    "I''ve come to find Yu Bingcheng!" Zhao Feng coldly said.


    Zhao Feng followed a guard into the Life Origin Sect. It didn''t take long before the guard had led Zhao Feng to Elder Yu Bingcheng''s residence.


    "Good Sir, this is Elder Yu''s residence. I will go and inform him of your visit." The guard gave a fawning smile.


    "There''s no need. You''re dismissed," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    Once the guard was gone, Zhao Feng went right up to the door.


    Thump!


    Zhao Feng threw open the gates to the hall.


    "Who is it that dares to intrude on an Elder''s residence!?" a furious roar came from the depths of the palace.


    In a flash of light, Yu Bingcheng appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    "It''s you!?" Yu Bingcheng was flabbergasted, and then his eyes turned as a powerful energy rose from his body.


    "Whoever you are, intruding on an Elder''s residence is a major crime. I will personally carry out the punishment!" Yu Bingcheng righteously declared.


    He had never expected for Zhao Feng to return. It seemed like he had failed in his pursuit of Zhao Yufei and returned to the Life Origin Sect to seek Yu Bingcheng''s aid.


    But Yu Bingcheng could not allow Zhao Feng to ruin his plan. Thus, he pretended to not recognize Zhao Feng and kill him.


    "Elder Yu truly has a good memory. You so quickly forgot about this Zhao!"


    Zhao Feng didn''t move, but the Divine Stages in his body slowly began to exude their energy.

 1269 Rescue

    Chapter 1269 - Rescue


    Elder Yu stared at Zhao Feng with cold and harsh eyes as he gathered tremendous energy to crush him. However, at this moment, Zhao Feng''s body also unleashed a vast surge of energy.


    "Rank Six True God!?" At this moment, Elder Yu could keenly sense Zhao Feng''s cultivation level.


    But how could this be? Zhao Feng had come to the Life Origin Sect as only a Quasi-God. How could he now be a Rank Six True God?


    "Zhao¡­ Feng? Could you be¡­?" Elder Yu seemed to think of something, and his face twisted in extreme shock.


    When Zhao Feng brought Han Ning''er to this place, Elder Yu only heard Han Ning''er mention Zhao Feng''s name once or twice. At the time, Zhao Feng was so insignificant that Elder Yu never imagined he would ever see Zhao Feng in the future. As a result, he couldn''t be bothered to remember this name.


    After sending off Zhao Feng, Elder Yu remained indoors, too busy with his own affairs to worry about anyone else, but he had occasionally heard some news about some "Genius Zhao Feng."


    Elder Yu would have never associated this Genius Zhao Feng with the person he had sent to the Spiritual Race to be a worker disciple, but now that Zhao Feng displayed his Rank Six True God cultivation, how could he not understand what was going on?


    "Why is Elder Yu in such a rush to kill me?" Zhao Feng nonchalantly asked.


    "I was in the middle of seclusion when someone suddenly disturbed me. The rage got to my head, so I was acting somewhat rashly. Brother Zhao, please do not take offense¡­." Elder Yu squeezed out an extremely ugly smile.


    He had no grudges with Zhao Feng, and even if he had displayed some killing intent just now, he hadn''t actually attacked Zhao Feng. In addition, Zhao Feng had only been able to enter the Spiritual Race through his assistance. Thus, Elder Yu didn''t believe Zhao Feng would do anything to him.


    I didn''t think that this kid would have such terrifying talent to directly attain Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm¡­. Elder Yu''s mind was extremely unsettled.


    Elder Yu was a Rank Six True God, an Elder with the lowest status among the many Elders of the Life Origin Sect. Zhao Feng was also a Rank Six True God, but he was a core disciple of the Spiritual Race, one of its most dazzling geniuses. Even the ordinary Elders of the Spiritual Race wouldn''t dare to provoke Zhao Feng.


    As for the Life Origin Sect, it was actually one of the factions administered by the Spiritual Race. Consequently, as an Elder of the Life Origin Sect, he was of a far lower status than Zhao Feng.


    "Where is Han Ning''er?" Zhao Feng''s expression remained unchanged.


    "She¡­ is outside on a mission!" Elder Yu''s face flickered for a moment before regaining its composure.


    Why is this kid asking about Han Ning''er as soon as he gets here!? He''s the most brilliant genius of the Spiritual Race. He should be getting together with Zhao Yufei!


    Elder Yu was beginning to panic.


    In his view, Zhao Feng was only responsible for sending Han Ning''er to the Ziling Zone. The two shouldn''t have any deeper of a relationship. But now, Zhao Feng was bluntly asking about Han Ning''er.


    If Zhao Feng found out how he had treated Han Ning''er, Elder Yu would find it hard to predict what the consequences would be.


    Elder Yu could only imagine that Zhao Feng was casually inquiring about how she was doing. Thus, he lied and said that Han Ning''er was out on a mission.


    "Elder Yu truly knows how to make a joke. Isn''t she in your residence?"


    Zhao Feng''s left eye could see through all, and he had long ago detected that Han Ning''er was being held in a certain hall of this palace.


    "How¡­ how did you know?" Elder Yu''s face grimaced in shock.


    Zhao Feng''s face turned cold and gloomy as he silently stepped into the palace.


    Before leaving the Life Origin Sect, he had left Zhao Hui behind. Zhao Hui just managed to mix into the Life Origin Sect, but he had been paying constant attention to the situation in the Life Origin Sect the entire time.


    There had not been even a sliver of news about the Eye of Life appearing in the Life Origin Sect. Thus, Zhao Feng began to guess that something was wrong quite some time ago.


    One of the reasons for his visit to the Life Origin Sect was to pick up Zhao Hui, but the other reason was to see how Han Ning''er was doing.


    A powerful array had been sent up around one of the innermost halls of this palace, cutting it off from the outside world. Even the Divine Sense of an Ancient God would find it difficult to get through. Alas, this array could not stop the see-through ability of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    He actually knows! Elder Yu followed behind Zhao Feng, a ghastly look of horror on his face.


    He had not left his home recently, nor had anyone else come in, so how did the news that Han Ning''er was imprisoned here get out? And how did it manage to reach Zhao Feng''s ears? Elder Yu couldn''t think of how this had transpired.


    Upon arriving at the sealed hall, Zhao Feng stretched out a hand.


    Swish!


    A tidal wave of physical lightning energy rumbled forward. Endless Tribulation Lightning exploded on the array.


    Cling! Crack!


    A crack appeared at the area that Zhao Feng had reached out to.


    Zhao Feng punched.


    Thump!


    The array exploded into countless crystalline specks of light that scattered into the world.


    How could this be!? No one weaker than an Ancient God should be able to break this array! Elder Yu felt like he had been struck by lightning.


    The moment the array shattered, the door to the hall opened, and the green-clothed Han Ning''er shot out.


    "Zhao Feng?"


    Han Ning''er didn''t know how the array shattered, only to use this chance to escape, but to her surprise, the first person she saw was Zhao Feng. Han Ning''er was instantly frozen to the spot, her dark green eyes shrouded in a misty haze.


    Han Ning''er no longer had her naive and amiable face. It had been replaced by a haggard and panicked expression.


    Suddenly, her soft and delicate body lunged into Zhao Feng''s chest. Whether it was because she had been too hard-pressed lately or because she was too happy, Han Ning''er began to weep, her crystalline tears drenching Zhao Feng''s clothes.


    "What''s going on here?" Zhao Feng softly asked, not rejecting her.


    "He kept me imprisoned here and tried to persuade me to become his cultivation companion¡­." Han Ning''er then told Zhao Feng everything that had happened after he left.


    As it turned out, the moment Zhao Feng left, Elder Yu imprisoned Han Ning''er in this hall and began to persuade her to become his cultivation companion. Han Ning''er refused to agree, which meant that she had not left this hall ever since.


    In addition, Elder Yu needed an actual cultivation companion, not a puppet. Consequently, he didn''t do anything too out of line, only constantly attempting to persuade her.


    He didn''t want Han Ning''er to hate him too much. After all, once Han Ning''er agreed, her Eye of Life would give her a bright future. Elder Yu would be able to follow along and ascend higher and higher.


    "Brother Zhao, I sincerely love Han Ning''er. I haven''t done anything to her¡­." Elder Yu saw that there was something off about the look on Zhao Feng''s face. Gathering his courage, he said, "If Brother Zhao also loves Han Ning''er, you can take her with you. In the Spiritual Race, Han Ning''er won''t need long to become an expert!"


    Seeing that Elder Yu was afraid of Zhao Feng, Han Ning''er wiped the tears from her eyes and left Zhao Feng''s warm chest.


    "Zhao Feng, you met with Zhao Yufei?" Han Ning''er directly asked.


    In her view, Zhao Feng had definitely met Zhao Yufei and obtained an excellent status while he was at it. Otherwise, why would Elder Yu be so afraid of Zhao Feng?


    "How do you want to handle him?" Zhao Feng nodded and pointed at Elder Yu.


    At this time, Han Ning''er gave Elder Yu a cold and harsh glare.


    Elder Yu slightly grimaced. Zhao Feng''s words made him rather unhappy. Even though he was an Elder of the Life Origin Sect, Zhao Feng appeared to be ready to judge whether he lived or died.


    "Let''s cripple his cultivation," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    He knew that Han Ning''er would find it very difficult to work up any desire to kill Elder Yu.


    "Brother Zhao, you were able to enter the Spiritual Race because I helped you¡­!" Elder Yu paled and immediately began to protest.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, even death was preferable to having one''s cultivation crippled.


    The look on Zhao Feng''s face didn''t change as he slowly strode over toward Elder Yu.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t get too ahead of yourself. You might be stronger than me, but it''s impossible for you to cripple my cultivation. In addition, this is the Life Origin Sect, and I am one of its Elders!" Elder Yu saw that the soft approach wasn''t working and immediately turned tough.


    "You were once a member of Spirit Grass Gate, but you didn''t help Han Ning''er or help revive Spirit Grass Gate. Instead, you only thought about yourself. And besides, look at a mirror; do you really think you can match up to her?" Zhao Feng disdainfully stared at him.


    Elder Yu saw that Zhao Feng''s mind was set and essentially impossible to change.


    "Hmph, even if I have to leave the Life Origin Sect¨Cleave the Ziling Zone, I won''t let you cripple my cultivation!" Elder Yu''s face became resolved.


    With his Rank Six True God cultivation and status as a doctor, he could go to any other zone and live quite the fine life in any random four-star faction.


    Thwish!


    Elder Yu immediately fled.


    "You can''t run!" With a cold snort, Zhao Feng transformed into a bolt of lightning and pursued Elder Yu.


    "Bramble Binding!" Elder Yu sent out a stream of dark green Divine Power.


    Thick vines, thorns, and brambles immediately began to grow around the palace, creating a sea of thorns.


    Boom! Bang!


    The entire palace immediately exploded as countless thorny vines reached for Zhao Feng.


    Thwish!


    Elder Yu gave a smug smile as he continued to flee, but a moment later, a domain of five-colored lightning appeared in the terrifying sea of thorns. All the thorns and vines in this domain were pulverized into bits of charred wood.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng shot toward Elder Yu, seemingly transcending space as he instantly appeared above Elder Yu.


    "So fast!" Elder Yu was startled.


    A moment later, he felt a pain that bored all the way into his soul.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng''s punch smashed Elder Yu into the ground, where he vomited blood.


    He was a Wood element cultivator as well as a doctor. In terms of fighting ability, he was far weaker than a normal Rank Six True God.


    This kid is very strong, and he''s way faster than me! Elder Yu was now keenly aware that he was no match for Zhao Feng, nor could he escape.


    Whoosh!


    Suppressing his injuries, Elder Yu flew toward Han Ning''er.


    "Zhao Feng, you forced me to do this!" Elder Yu''s body surged with Divine Power as he prepared to capture Han Ning''er and use her life to threaten Zhao Feng so that he could escape.


    "Nooo¡­!" Elder Yu''s intimidating pressure made it difficult for Han Ning''er to breathe.


    Elder Yu was on the verge of capturing Han Ning''er.


    "Seeking death!" Zhao Feng''s eyes instantly chilled as he extended a palm. A blade of five-colored lightning transcended space and cut Elder Yu at his thighs.


    "Ah¡­!" His body nearly cut in half, Elder Yu howled in pain while his immense aura of energy instantly collapsed.


    At this moment, powerful ripples of energy came from the surroundings.


    "Who is it that dares to make trouble in the Life Origin Sect!?" a withered elder with black-green skin suddenly bellowed.


    An old lady holding a cane rushed to the scene from another direction.


    "Third Elder, Fourth Elder, he''s going to kill me! Save me¡­!" Elder Yu immediately yelled.


    "Stop!"


    "How audacious, to dare intrude upon the Life Origin Sect and commit murder!"

 1270 Life Sacred Land

    Chapter 1270 - Life Sacred Land


    "Stop!"


    "How audacious, to dare intrude upon the Life Origin Sect and commit murder!"


    The two Elders of the Life Origin Sect who just appeared saw that Elder Yu had been cut in two and bellowed in indignation.


    The Life Origin Sect was a peak four-star faction, and yet someone had dared to intrude and attack an Elder.


    "The two of you came at just the right time." Zhao Feng suddenly turned to the two Ancient God experts who were charging at him.


    "What do you mean?" The old man with black-green skin stopped, his eyes turning gloomy.


    This young man had actually chosen not to run in the face of two Ancient God experts, instead turning to face them. The Elder found this situation to be extremely strange.


    The other Elder began to carefully inspect Zhao Feng.


    "Third Elder, Fourth Elder, don''t listen to his nonsense! Hurry and kill him!" the mangled Elder Yu began to strenuously shout.


    But the two Elders examined Zhao Feng with profound gazes, not daring to act rashly.


    "You are¡­!"


    As the two Elders examined Zhao Feng, they suddenly remembered something and grimaced.


    They had long ago heard that some peerless genius had appeared in the Spiritual Race, one who had reached Rank Six in his breakthrough. This genius''s left eye and hair were of a very unique color.


    They had only heard rumors and not seen this genius for themselves, so they didn''t recognize Zhao Feng at the start.


    "I am a core disciple of the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng!" Zhao Feng finished the words of those two Elders.


    "It really is him!" The two Elders were shocked, and then they became confused. The Life Origin Sect was one of the factions under the Spiritual Race. Why had Zhao Feng come to make trouble here?


    "A year ago, I escorted a bloodline descendant of the Eye of Life to the Life Origin Sect in the hopes that the Life Origin Sect could nurture and train her. But I didn''t expect that, after I left, Yu Bingcheng would act on his private desire, seeking to take her for his own by keeping her imprisoned this entire time." Zhao Feng coldly laid out the situation.


    "The Eye of Life!" the two Life Origin Sect Elders both blurted out in surprise.


    The two simultaneously turned to Han Ning''er.


    "It really is the Eye of Life!" After confirming the truth through their sharp senses, the two Elders were even more stunned.


    It''s over! Elder Yu knew that he would no longer be able to escape. But even if his cultivation was crippled, he had means of restarting his cultivation, though the process would be much more difficult.


    "Hmph! Elder Yu, you''re very bold!" The two Elders suddenly turned grim as they coldly glared at Yu Bingcheng.


    There was no need to mention the potential of the Eye of Life. If this person had become part of the Life Origin Sect, she would have certainly become one of its strongest experts. Perhaps they could have sent the Eye of Life to the Life Sacred Land; she would still have a bright future while the Life Origin Sect would also stand to greatly benefit.


    Elder Yu had also noticed this potential, so he tried to make Han Ning''er his cultivation companion. If he had succeeded, he would have stood to benefit the most, and the Life Origin Sect wouldn''t have blamed Elder Yu.


    But crucially, he failed! Now, not only would the Life Origin Sect lose the Eye of Life, but they had also offended Zhao Feng, a core disciple of the Spiritual Race.


    "You two came at just the right time. I am currently planning to personally execute him," Zhao Feng flatly spoke to the two Elders.


    "Execution!?" Elder Yu immediately reeled his head back in shock.


    Didn''t Zhao Feng say that he was only going to cripple his cultivation? When had it become execution?


    "If you hadn''t threatened Han Ning''er''s life just now, perhaps I might have permitted you to continue struggling at death''s door." Zhao Feng sneered.


    He originally planned to spare this person''s life, but Yu Bingcheng made the wrong choice.


    The Third and Fourth Elder of the Life Origin Sect exchanged glances and began to message each other.


    Good or bad, Elder Yu was still a Rank Six True God and an Elder. He still had value for the Life Origin Sect. However, if they incurred Zhao Feng''s displeasure for the sake of Yu Bingcheng, the loss would outweigh the gain.


    "Friend Zhao, Elder Yu ¨C good or bad ¨C is still a Rank Six True God and an Elder of the Life Origin Sect. We hope that you can spare his life for the sake of the Life Origin Sect!" the withered Elder spoke.


    "The Life Origin Sect is willing to pay a large sum of God Crystals and herbs to compensate Friend Zhao and pay for Yu Bingcheng''s life!" the old lady hurriedly added.


    The Elders spoke up one after the other.


    Their words were the result of their discussion. Through this method, they could both curry Zhao Feng''s favor while also sparing Yu Bingcheng''s life.


    After all, Zhao Feng simply had too much potential. He was even friends with a descendant of the Eye of Life. If they could form a friendship with this pair, the Life Origin Sect would only benefit.


    On the side, Yu Bingcheng rejoiced to see that the two Elders of the sect wanted to save his life.


    "I was informing you, not asking!" Zhao Feng growled, his expression unchanged.


    The three Elders of the Life Origin Sect immediately grimaced at these words. There was a hint of slight displeasure on the faces of the Third Elder and Fourth Elder, but there was only fear on Elder Yu''s face. He never expected for Zhao Feng to be so unyielding as to not give these two Elders any face.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Countless white arcs of lightning began to crackle within Zhao Feng''s left eye, and Destruction Intent that could destroy souls, combined with powerful soul ripples, began to surge.


    "No! Third Elder, Fourth Elder, hurry and persuade Zhao Feng¡­!" Elder Yu sensed his imminent death and immediately began to plead and beg.


    But it was all too late. Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique was simply too fast.


    Kacrack!


    A twisted bolt of Tribulation Lightning and a writhing flame exploded on Elder Yu''s soul. He was only able to put up a tiny struggle before his soul was annihilated.


    "Instant death!"


    "That was a Soul eye-bloodline technique with Tribulation Lightning energy!"


    The two Elders of the Life Origin Sect stared in horror at this sight.


    They had heard that Zhao Feng directly attained Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm, but he only needed a glance to kill someone at the same rank!?


    They found it difficult to fathom the true power of Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline. It was at least on par with the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    Such talent and strength were simply terrifying!


    "Friend Zhao, Elder Yu is dead, but this friend of yours with the Eye of Life can remain in the Life Origin Sect. Let our Life Origin Sect compensate her. The Life Origin Sect can guarantee that such a thing will never happen again¡­."


    With Elder Yu dead, Zhao Feng''s anger should have been vented, so the withered old man began to make peaceful overtures.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but laugh as he prepared to refuse.


    "No, I don''t want to stay here!" Han Ning''er immediately said.


    Everyone here was a supreme expert while she was just a Quasi-God, so Han Ning''er had chosen to remain silent earlier. But now, Han Ning''er bluntly stated her opinion.


    "Then let''s go!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled, swept up Han Ning''er, and left the Life Origin Sect.


    "Damn! That kid is very arrogant! He kills an Elder of the Life Origin Sect and then just leaves!" The face of the withered Elder turned icy as soon as Zhao Feng left.


    "There''s nothing we can do. After all, Yu Bingcheng''s crimes were clear, and even if we made a fuss about this, the Life Origin Sect would gain very little. We could even end up offending Zhao Feng. It''s not worth the risk." The old lady sighed.


    "How formidable! This is Zhao Feng!"


    "He dared to force his way in and kill Elder Yu!"


    The disciples gathered in the area began to enthusiastically discuss this event.


    ...


    As he was on the verge of leaving the Life Origin Sect, Zhao Feng swept up Zhao Hui into his Interspatial Dimension with his sleeve. With everything done, Zhao Feng left the Life Origin Sect and began his journey back to the Spiritual Race.


    "Thank you for saving me again!" Han Ning''er regained her former composure, her face once again lively and amiable.


    "I was the one who troubled you. I shouldn''t have left you with him in the first place, so it was only right that I save you," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    The two had spent more than thirty years together on the journey from the Gulong Zone to the Ziling Zone, and their relationship had slowly changed along this journey. Zhao Feng noticed that something about Han Ning''er''s situation wasn''t right, so he naturally couldn''t just leave her there.


    Zhao Feng didn''t rush on his way back. He would occasionally stop and rest at Exchange Spiritual Halls.


    On a certain day, Zhao Feng took out the large stack of invitations he had received and began to look them over.


    The news of Zhao Feng directly attaining Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm had sent shockwaves throughout the entire Ziling Zone. However, Zhao Feng had only ever shown his power in the Spiritual Race, so the other factions remained doubtful about the authenticity of Zhao Feng''s situation.


    When they came to the Spiritual Race to visit Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng was in seclusion. Thus, they issued Zhao Feng invitations.


    Once Zhao Feng came to visit, these factions could verify the facts for themselves. At the same time, if it was true, these factions would inevitably try to recruit to Zhao Feng and form a good relationship with him.


    "Eh? Even the Life Sacred Land sent an invitation!"


    Zhao Feng extracted a letter with strange green inscriptions on it from the pile.


    The Life Sacred Land was the overlord faction of the Ziling Zone. Although it didn''t really matter if he went or not, Zhao Feng had never been to a God Realm Sacred Land before. He was rather curious to see what they were all about.


    Perhaps I can send Han Ning''er to the Life Sacred Land. An idea suddenly occurred to Zhao Feng.


    Although he could ensure Han Ning''er''s safety in the Spiritual Race, in terms of her future prospects, there was no better place than the Life Sacred Land. Moreover, Han Ning''er also had the important and heavy burden of reviving Spirit Grass Gate. As a result, Zhao Feng felt that the Life Sacred Land was the ideal choice for Han Ning''er.


    "Fortunately, it''s not too far off the path." Zhao Feng looked over the map in his mind.


    After resting for a while, the two set off again.


    "Han Ning''er, let''s go take a look around the Life Sacred Land," Zhao Feng said before leaving.


    "The Life Sacred Land? Can we actually go?" Han Ning''er''s eyes sparkled with vivacious light.


    As a member of a faction specialized in the Medicine Dao, she naturally knew about the Life Sacred Land. The Life Sacred Land could be considered a sacred land for every practitioner of the Medicine Dao, the land of their dreams.


    "Then let''s go!" After receiving Han Ning''er''s approval, Zhao Feng adjusted their route.


    ...


    Four months later, the pair reached the center of the Ziling Zone, near the lands of the Life Sacred Land.


    Even before they reached the actual Life Sacred Land, Zhao Feng could already sense that the concentration of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was on the same level as the area occupied by the periphery disciples of the Spiritual Race. Moreover, the air was thick with vitality; just breathing it in would make one''s body feel relaxed.


    Zhao Feng used his left eye to peer into the distance.


    In the center of a vast, light green fog was an incomparably massive ancient tree of life. This ancient tree seemed to connect heaven and earth. The area covered by its canopy was larger than the entire territory of the Spiritual Race.


    "What a massive tree!" Zhao Feng was blown away by this sight. This was the largest tree he had ever seen in his life.


    The area covered by this massive tree was an independent dimension. It was surrounded by layers of arrays that cut it off from the outside world. At this distance, Zhao Feng wasn''t able to see inside.


    "Eh?" Just as he was preparing to head toward the Life Sacred Land, Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly sensed something strange nearby underground.

 1271 Intercepting and Killing a God Eye Descendan

    Chapter 1271 - Intercepting and Killing a God Eye Descendant


    "Eh? Underground¡­" Zhao Feng focused his gaze on an area a hundred thousand-some li underground.


    A wicked-looking man wearing a black robe that only showed his face was rapidly shuttling through the earth. This person had taken great pains to conceal his aura, and the activity he created while traveling underground was so little that he was almost undetectable.


    Such a superb Earth Escape art was something that even Zhao Feng would find difficult to pull off.


    Suddenly, this black-robed man seemed to sense something and look in Zhao Feng''s direction.


    "That is¡­!?" Zhao Feng''s face suddenly froze in shock.


    "What''s wrong?" Han Ning''er noticed something strange about Zhao Feng and couldn''t help but ask.


    Zhao Feng ignored Han Ning''er and continued to stare at the black-robed man''s right eye.


    "The Eye of Myriad Forms!"


    One of Zhao Feng''s clones had the Eye of Myriad Forms, so he obviously recognized it.


    Of course, the most astonishing thing of all was that this person only had one Eye of Myriad Forms ¨C his right eye.


    At this moment, the black-robed man was using the Eye of Myriad Forms to control the power of the earth. This allowed him to rapidly move through the earth while producing very few ripples of energy.


    "Hah, that kid actually noticed me? Does he have some special eye-bloodline?" Deep underground, the black-robed man was also rather surprised.


    Zhao Feng''s eye seemed to be very abnormal, so the black-robed man assumed that Zhao Feng''s eye was of the sensory type. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to notice him.


    "Mm? The Eye of Life!?" The black-robed man suddenly turned his gaze to Han Ning''er.


    "Heheh, if you''re delivering it to my doorstep, I won''t be polite!" The black-robed man grimly laughed before changing course and shooting toward Zhao Feng.


    Killing intent! He''s also an Ancient God! Zhao Fen''s expression sank.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t determine this person''s exact cultivation level, but he could sense that this person was definitely stronger than Ancient God Black Heaven. In addition, Zhao Feng could also see that this person was targeting Han Ning''er.


    This made Zhao Feng rather confused. Han Ning''er had basically never appeared in the Ziling Zone, and this was her first visit to the central region. However, this black-robed man saw Han Ning''er and immediately erupted with killing intent.


    Regardless, Zhao Feng would not let him succeed!


    Whoosh!


    The black-robed man shot through the earth toward Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng also made preparations to defend himself.


    But when the black-robed man was still twenty thousand li from Zhao Feng, he suddenly stopped.


    "The Life Sacred Land''s people have arrived¡­." the black-robed man muttered.


    "Heh, I''ll let you go for now!" The black-robed man sent a message before once more changing directions and fleeing into the distance.


    "Who is it?" This sudden message left Han Ning''er panicked and wary. Someone of her cultivation was utterly incapable of detecting the black-robed man''s existence.


    Zhao Feng turned his somewhat gloomy gaze to the path ahead. A group of three people exuding a powerful physical pressure was approaching.


    "Who are you two?" The leader of this group was a youth wearing a blue robe, and he had an unusual look about his face. This person was an Ancient God while the other two were Rank Six True Gods.


    "I received an invitation from the Life Sacred Land," Zhao Feng indifferently said, the invitation letter appearing in his hand.


    The blue-robed youth''s Divine Sense scanned the invitation, and then he turned in surprise to Zhao Feng.


    "You are¡­ Zhao Feng?" The youth suspiciously looked over Zhao Feng.


    The two people next to the youth also looked at Zhao Feng in surprise.


    The matter of Zhao Feng had created no small ruckus in the Life Sacred Land. Everyone had become very interested in this genius.


    Han Ning''er cautiously stood at the side. In her eyes, the people of the Life Sacred Land were all noble experts. But at this time, the blue-clothed youth seemed to be examining Zhao Feng with a very surprised look on his face. It was as if Zhao Feng had an even more revered status than the youth.


    "If you want to enter the Life Sacred Land, you must pass my inspection. After all, it''s easy to change one''s external appearance. There might be someone who would try to disguise themselves as Zhao Feng and sneak into the Life Sacred Land!" the blue-robed youth sternly said.


    Zhao Feng slightly frowned. Even though he had received an invitation, he was still subject to inspection.


    "Good Sir, please do not take offense. Normally, there would naturally be no need for such a step, but the current situation is rather unique, so¡­" The youth appeared rather hard-pressed.


    "It''s fine. How will the inspection be done?" Zhao Feng saw that there truly was a reason for this inspection, so he agreed.


    "Xiahou Wu once fought with Zhao Feng, and I happen to know a little about this battle. I wish to test your body!" the youth said with a smile.


    Although the Life Sacred Land was currently in a special situation, Zhao Feng actually didn''t need to pass his inspection to enter. However, the blue-robed youth was interested in Zhao Feng, so he used this excuse to see for himself whether Zhao Feng''s strength was comparable to Xiahou Wu''s.


    "A person''s external appearance is easy to change, but it''s rather difficult to change the characteristics of one''s cultivating technique," the blue-robed youth added.


    The two people next to the youth were startled. They knew that Liu Kai purely wanted to see Zhao Feng''s strength for himself. But Liu Kai was an Ancient God prodigy of the previous generation while Zhao Feng was just a Rank Six True God. How could this possibly be a fair fight?


    "Good Sir, be at ease. I will only use forty percent of my strength. Given that you were able to defeat Xiahou Wu, you should be able to take it," Liu Kai added.


    Xiahou Wu had the Eye of Life and had reached the peak of Rank Six. He had a level of strength equivalent to an Ancient God using forty percent of their strength. However, Liu Kai was a genius of the Life Sacred Land''s previous generation, so forty percent of his strength was probably stronger than Xiahou Wu''s full power.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng nodded.


    Liu Kai was elated to see Zhao Feng agree.


    The other two members of the Life Sacred Land and Han Ning''er immediately retreated a certain distance so as not to be caught up in this battle.


    "Let''s begin! Good Sir, please be careful!" Liu Kai cautioned with a smile.


    A moment later, his body suddenly grew a little larger, silver tattoos emerging on his skin that unleashed a powerful physical pressure that caused the surrounding space to grow heavy.


    "Even at only forty percent power, Liu Kai''s Silver Star Dense Body still gives off such powerful pressure. It seems like he''s made even more progress!" The two other members of the Life Sacred Land were somewhat closer to the area of battle, so they could keenly sense that physical pressure.


    Whoosh!


    Liu Kai transformed into a silver streak of light and shot toward Zhao Feng. He faintly smiled and punched.


    The moment he punched, a silver starry fist appeared in the air, leaving a trail of explosions as it flew through the air.


    Unperturbed, Zhao Feng activated his Sacred Lightning Body and circulated his Five Elements Divine Power before throwing a punch of his own.


    With just Rank Six True God cultivation, Zhao Feng would have never been a match for Xiahou Wu unless he used his eye-bloodline, so he was naturally no match for Liu Kai. Thus, Zhao Feng exerted all his physical strength.


    Boom! Bang!


    There was a deafening metallic collision as the two fists met.


    Hissss!


    Thin, white arcs of lightning crackled all over Liu Kai''s body. Liu Kai felt a slight numbness throughout his body.


    He managed to take it!? Liu Kai was slightly taken aback.


    Based on what he knew, Zhao Feng had only been able to defeat Xiahou Wu because of his eye-bloodline. However, Zhao Feng hadn''t used the power of his eye but was still able to block the punch.


    His physical strength is even greater than Xiahou Wu said¡­. Liu Kai inwardly muttered.


    He had no idea that Zhao Feng had been hiding his strength back then and that Zhao Feng had also made further progress in the time that had passed.


    "How could this be!? He took the attack!?" The other two members of the Life Sacred Land were also startled.


    "Take another one of my punches!" Liu Kai had a rather unsightly look on his face.


    In truth, if he just wanted to inspect Zhao Feng, that first attack was enough. However, Zhao Feng managed to completely take it without the slightest discomfort. This was a significant mental blow to Liu Kai.


    He was an imposing Ancient God, but he couldn''t make any headway against a mere Rank Six True God?


    Boom!


    Liu Kai shot into the sky, built up power, and then shot back down. From a distance, it appeared like some massive silver mountain was falling from the sky.


    Liu Kai was still only using forty percent of his strength, but since he was plummeting from the sky, his attack was even more powerful.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng took this attack seriously, and his body was immediately surrounded by a domain of five-colored lightning.


    Boom! Hisss!


    As Liu Kai approached Zhao Feng, he began to feel obstructed and weakened by the power of the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain.


    Liu Kai''s fist was about to impact with Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng slightly squatted down, and the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain suddenly condensed into his palm, after which he fired off a palm attack.


    Zhao Feng had merged all his physical strength with the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain and concentrated it into a single palm.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two clashed, and Liu Kai was thrown backward by the immense power of physical lightning energy.


    "How could this be!?" Liu Kai retreated backward in shock so as to hide the fact that Zhao Feng had pushed him back.


    "You truly are Zhao Feng!" Liu Kai gave an awkward smile.


    In two places extremely far away from this area, there were two other teams from the Life Sacred Land, each led by an Ancient God.


    "I didn''t think that Liu Kai would end up suffering a loss!"


    "Zhao Feng is even stronger now than when he defeated Xiahou Wu!"


    The two Ancient Gods sighed before leading their teams away.


    "I will take the two of you into the Sacred Land," Liu Kai said to Zhao Feng, and then he turned to his two comrades and ordered, "The two of you continue searching. If you discover anything, immediately let me know!"


    Liu Kai led Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er as they slowly made their way to the Life Sacred Land.


    "Brother Liu, what''s happened recently in the Life Sacred Land?" Zhao Feng asked.


    On this short journey, he saw three more teams swiftly departing. Each of these teams were led by an Ancient God expert. Zhao Feng also spotted many patrol teams on the border regions of the Life Sacred Land, rigorously inspecting everyone who went in and out.


    At this time, Zhao Feng cast the matter of him being inspected by Liu Kai to the back of his mind. This was because it was clear that something quite significant had happened at the Life Sacred Land.


    "Brother Zhao is an honored guest invited by the Life Sacred Land, so I will tell you a little about what''s going on." Liu Kai grimaced a little.


    Both Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er couldn''t help but focus on him.


    "Not long ago, an Eye of Life descendant from the Life Sacred Land was going out, but only moments after leaving the Sacred Land, they were killed!" Liu Kai''s eyes were rather cold and harsh.


    "What? An Eye of Life descendant of the Life Sacred Land was killed?" Zhao Feng was taken aback.


    Owners of the Eye of Life were definitely under heavy protection from the Life Sacred Land, and yet someone dared to kill one of the Eye of Life descendants after they left the Life Sacred Land.


    In addition, based on what Liu Kai said, this Eye of Life descendant was killed not long after leaving the bounds of the Life Sacred Land. This meant that the enemy was hiding right around the Life Sacred Land to intercept and kill these descendants. This was a blatant challenge to the Sacred Land''s dignity!


    Could it be him? The image of the black-robed man emerged in Zhao Feng''s mind.

 1272 The Pool of Life

    Chapter 1272 - The Pool of Life


    "There are factions in the Ziling Zone that dare to make an enemy of the Life Sacred Land?" Zhao Feng voiced the shock in his mind.


    The Life Sacred Land was the overlord faction of the Ziling Zone. Just which faction did the killer of the Eye of Life descendants belong to that he dared to oppose the Life Sacred Land?


    Even if they belonged to some other Sacred Land, the other Sacred Land would never make such an obvious challenge. A war between Sacred Lands was no minor matter.


    "This matter still needs more investigation. We still can''t be sure who did it, but don''t believe that a God Realm Sacred Land is the strongest faction in a zone," Liu Kai shook his head and solemnly warned.


    "What do you mean?" Zhao Feng was stunned.


    Sacred Lands were the overlord factions of their respective zones. Could there be factions even stronger than Sacred Lands?


    "The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods is incomparably vast, and there are innumerable factions hiding in the shadows. Some of these factions have far surpassed the level of five-star factions and have reached the level of God Realm Sacred Lands¡­." Liu Kai continued.


    Zhao Feng nodded. This wasn''t difficult to understand.


    Any world would have powerful factions that lurked in the shadows and were unknown to the common people. How could a place as large as the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods not have such factions?


    But what was truly shocking was that one of these secret factions could actually develop to a scale on par with a Sacred Land.


    Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er followed Liu Kai through a special path. After going through layers of inspection, they smoothly entered the Life Sacred Land.


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi is comparable to the core area of the Spiritual Race, and this place is also thick with vitality. The Spiritual Race can''t even compare in that aspect! Zhao Feng mentally sighed.


    If he had been born in an environment like this, influenced by this land from the moment of his birth, then his constitution, vitality, and other aspects would be far above normal people. When Zhao Feng was initially refining his body, if he had cultivated in as superb a place as the Life Sacred Land, he would have refined his body dozens of times faster with dozens of times the effect.


    "Mm? This energy¡­?" Liu Kai''s expression flickered in surprise as he turned to Han Ning''er.


    The Life energy of the world was surging into her eyes. A pure Life energy was then exuded by her eyes, seemingly capable of bringing the dead back to life.


    "This is¡­ the Eye of Life!?" Liu Kai blurted out in shock.


    Although the Life Sacred Land was the final home of all the descendants of the Eye of Life, the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes were not as numerous as one might imagine. Even a descendant of the Eye of Life was an extremely rare existence in the Life Sacred Land.


    The thickness of her bloodline is changing! Zhao Feng saw everything through his left eye.


    In the Gulong Zone, Han Ning''er was only a disciple of an ordinary four-and-a-half-star faction. Her bloodline had only just awakened and had still not been developed. But now, mere moments after stepping into the Life Sacred Land, the thickness of her Eye of Life bloodline began to transform.


    It appeared that this journey wasn''t in vain. This place was undoubtedly the ideal place for Han Ning''er.


    "Zhao Feng, she is¡­?" Liu Kai finally asked.


    "My friend," Zhao Feng simply replied.


    Liu Kai''s face froze. Zhao Feng was a Spiritual Race core disciple, and this girl had come together with him to the Life Sacred Land, meaning that their relationship was definitely not normal. In other words, there was a high chance that this girl was already a disciple of the Spiritual Race.


    He couldn''t help but sigh at the Spiritual Race''s recent spell of luck.


    "Let''s go, up there!" Liu Kai said.


    Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er looked up.


    The vast tree''s canopy blotted out the sun, transforming the sky into a sea of jade green. Many palaces and pavilions of various sizes had been built on the enormous tree, and there were many pools, rivers, and waterfalls flowing through it.


    The higher one flew, the more concentrated the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi became while the number of buildings decreased.


    In front of a certain vast green palace, a group of nearly ten people was gathered. One of them was a youth that Zhao Feng knew: Xiahou Wu.


    "He''s Zhao Feng?" A man dressed in an imperial golden robe turned with searing eyes toward Zhao Feng.


    This was the strongest Quasi-God prodigy of the Life Sacred Land, Quasi-God Guan Long.


    Originally, he was the most dazzling prodigy of the Ziling Zone, comparable to the geniuses of the other Sacred Lands. But then, some Zhao Feng had popped out from the Spiritual Race and directly attained Rank Six, thus surmounting his reputation.


    "He truly is at Rank Six, though it''s hard to say if he really managed to get there in one go." Quite a few young disciples in the group cast doubtful gazes at Zhao Feng.


    Besides the youths in the group, there were three Elders of unfathomable cultivation.


    "Junior Zhao Feng pays respects to the seniors of the Sacred Land!" Zhao Feng ignored the doubtful gazes of the youths and looked at the three Elders.


    At this time, the three Elders were examining Zhao Feng with sharp and gleaming eyes as if hoping to see through him entirely.


    "For the Spiritual Race to take in a person like you is truly a matter to be envious about." A wrinkled elder dressed in silver-gray robes stroked his beard and smiled.


    "Senior praises me too much," Zhao Feng politely said.


    "Xiahou Wu, take Zhao Feng and his friend to tour the Life Sacred Land," the wrinkled elder gently said.


    "Yes, Master!" Xiahou Wu respectfully said and then stepped forward.


    "Zhao Feng, let me show you around the Life Sacred Land."


    Xiahou Wu had a rather friendly attitude, but when he spoke the words "Life Sacred Land," he couldn''t help but inadvertently reveal a little pride in his voice.


    Once Zhao Feng''s group left, the wrinkled Elder stated, "I tell you all with absolute certainty that Zhao Feng directly attained Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm!"


    These words made the young disciples'' faces twist into unsightly grimaces.


    There were Quasi-Gods, True Gods, and even a few Ancient Gods among them. They were the strongest prodigies of the Life Sacred Land, but all of them had to lower their heads at this moment.


    "Damn!" Quasi-God Guan Long managed to restrain himself to just this one word.


    Originally, he had been planning to breakthrough into the Heavenly Divine Realm soon, but now, he wanted to compete a little and try for Rank Six to regain some of his honor.


    ...


    Guided by Xiahou Wu, Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er slowly toured through the opulent and gorgeous Life Sacred Land, which seemed like some enormous work of supreme art.


    "Eh? The vitality here is even thicker!" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    "Mm. The eastern part of the Life Sacred Land is for cultivation and living while the western part is for growing plants and other cultivation resources," Xiahou Wu said with a smile.


    The spiritual herbs of the Life Sacred Land were famous in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods for their high quality. What were rare and precious plants in the outside world were abundant in the Life Sacred Land.


    Xiahou Wu took Zhao Feng through a few of the spirit herb regions, and he even took Zhao Feng to see one of the areas where truly precious plants were being grown.


    Even Zhao Feng could only recognize a few of the innumerable precious herbs being grown there. As for the doctor Han Ning''er, she had been unbearably excited throughout the entire tour, her dark green eyes glimmering as she closely examined her surroundings.


    "A Sacred Land truly is a wonderful place." Zhao Feng emotionally sighed.


    This place had herbs of almost every kind and shape. In addition, it had a far greater quantity than anywhere else. It was also home to many Soul-type plants that were quite rare in the outside world.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll take you to a good place!" Xiahou Wu suddenly said.


    Xiahou Wu led the two of them through a rather winding route before they finally arrived at a large building formed from vines and trees. A powerful array stood guard around it. Inside the building, green portals of light could be found on the walls, each of them supported by many tree branches.


    Zhao Feng could tell at a glance that each of these green portals was connected to an independent dimension.


    "Let''s go into that one." Xiahou Wu pointed to a portal of a somewhat darker shade of green.


    Swish!


    The three arrived in a strange Little World made of plants. This independent dimension was very small, and it was possible to see its boundaries with a single glance.


    In front of them was a pool of water formed from mud and vines. A fragrant green liquid floated in this pool. One glance was enough to see that this liquid was extremely valuable.


    "This is a Pool of Life. Go in and try it out!" Xiahou Wu smiled.


    Thump!


    Zhao Feng jumped in.


    In an instant, Zhao Feng felt like every cell in his body had been awakened and was doing its utmost to absorb the Life energy in this liquid. Every part of his body was recovering to its peak state.


    It didn''t take long before Zhao Feng felt that the level of his vitality had risen.


    "This Pool of Life is a cultivation ground created by the Life Sacred Land. If a Life Sacred Land disciple wants to bathe in this pool one time, they would need to accumulate several years'' worth of contributions. The Pool of Life you''re bathing in is for Rank Seven Ancient Gods. It will be of enormous benefit to you!" Xiahou Wu stood on the side and explained.


    "Many thanks!" Zhao Feng naturally understood how precious this Pool of Life was.


    In that building earlier, there wasn''t even one hundred of those green portals. The Life Sacred Land had countless disciples, but there were less than one hundred Pools of Life, and they were each targeted at different levels of cultivation.


    Many of the portals were a darker shade of green, indicating that there was no disciple inside. Of course, it wasn''t that they didn''t want to go in, but that the price was far too great for them to afford.


    And yet, at this time, an outsider like Zhao Feng could soak in a Pool of Life meant for a Rank Seven Ancient God.


    "You can soak in a Pool of Life for three days each visit. You have to cherish this period of time. I''ll take your friend to look at other areas."


    After saying this, Xiahou Wu took Han Ning''er and left.


    "A good place! I can''t let this chance go!" Zhao Feng had a joyful look on his face.


    He had just become a Rank Seven Ancient God, and his cultivation was unsteady in many aspects. As for Rank Eight, that was still extremely far away.


    Now that he had a chance to soak in a Pool of Life, he could use the opportunity to raise his vitality and also cultivate his Earth and Wood Intents.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng half-closed his eyes, and Earth and Wood Intent energy began to rise from his body to fill this dimension.


    He had taken a massive leap by directly attaining Rank Seven of the Heavenly Divine Realm, so his various Intents still had a lot of space to improve.


    "In these three days, I have to at least bring my Earth and Wood Intents to the peak of Level Four!"


    As Zhao Feng muttered to himself, he took out several Intent Crystals to help himself cultivate.


    ...


    Three days later, Zhao Feng was surrounded by a half-transparent, thin fog of yellow and green. The mud and trees around him slightly swayed, and there were even some flowers budding.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng''s bright eyes opened.


    "With the help of the Pool of Life, my Wood and Earth Intents were able to smoothly reach the peak of Level Four." Zhao Feng gleefully chuckled.


    His vitality had also received a significant boost.


    At this moment, Xiahou Wu and Han Ning''er suddenly appeared in this dimension.


    "Zhao Feng, the Elders of the Life Sacred Land wish to speak with you!"

 1273 The Blazing Gold Race Attacks

    Chapter 1273 - The Blazing Gold Race Attacks


    Zhao Feng was somewhat unwilling to leave the Pool of Life.


    While walking, Zhao Feng learned that Han Ning''er had also benefited greatly over the last three days. She had visited even more herb planting areas and saw many precious herbs that she had never seen before. She even had a chance to enter the upper floors of the Life Sacred Land''s Life Law Temple, where she browsed a few ancient texts that caught her interest.


    Xiahou Wu led Zhao Feng and Han Ning''er to a secret hall. There were three people inside: two elders and one youth.


    One of these elders was Xiahou Wu''s master, the wrinkled old man that Zhao Feng had seen at the start. The other elder was rather short, and his white hair had a faint green luster. His aura seemed to be even stronger than the wrinkled elder''s.


    Next to them was a youth dressed in a golden imperial robe: Quasi-God Guan Long.


    "Junior Zhao Feng pays respect to the seniors of the Sacred Land." Zhao Feng looked at the two elders.


    "Friend Zhao, your last three days in the Life Sacred Land have been rather good, right?" the wrinkled elder directly said.


    "This is this junior''s first visit to a Sacred Land. Everything I see here I am seeing for the first time¡­." Zhao Feng frankly said.


    Everything he had seen in the Life Sacred Land was the best quality he had ever seen.


    "That is natural. The Life Sacred Land has the oldest history of all the Sacred Lands and stands as one of the strongest!" Quasi-God Guan Long proudly said.


    Zhao Feng had snatched away his glory, so he desired to surpass Zhao Feng in other aspects and regain some sense of accomplishment.


    The two sides exchanged a few more polite words before the wrinkled elder entered the main topic.


    "Friend Zhao, the Life Sacred Land needs a talent like you. If you remain here, you will be treated many times better than your treatment in the Spiritual Race. Moreover, you are also a body-refining cultivator with an eye-bloodline. In this aspect, only the Life Sacred Land can offer you the greatest assistance," the wrinkled Elder amiably said.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    From the moment he arrived at the Life Sacred Land, he knew that he would encounter this situation. He also knew that his itinerary in the Life Sacred Land had been decided ahead of time by the Elders of the Life Sacred Land.


    First, Zhao Feng would see the Life Sacred Land''s resources and treasures, and then they would let him enjoy an enormous boon, the Pool of Life. In the end, they would make him many promises. Any ordinary person would never refuse such an invitation.


    On the side, Han Ning''er was extremely excited. She had never expected that the Elders of the Sacred Land would personally invite Zhao Feng. Joining the Life Sacred Land was the dream of every doctor. Han Ning''er herself had once dreamed about this.


    On the other side, Quasi-God Guan Long had a rather unsightly grimace. Once Zhao Feng entered the Life Sacred Land, Guan Long''s reputation would be completely drowned out by Zhao Feng''s.


    But Zhao Feng''s next words left everyone stunned.


    "I am indebted to Elder for this immense favor, but Junior is doing well in the Spiritual Race and does not want to change places so soon."


    Zhao Feng refused, and his reason really didn''t even count as a reason.


    In truth, Zhao Feng had thought about this question before coming.


    If he came to the Life Sacred Land, Zhao Yufei would also come with him. He had no ties to the Spiritual Race, but Zhao Yufei had spent more than thirty years there and made friends with many people. Zhao Feng didn''t want Zhao Yufei to cut off all these relationships for his sake.


    Moreover, Zhao Feng didn''t plan to continue on the Dao of Body-Refining, and his eye didn''t have much to do with the Eye of Life, so the assistance the Life Sacred Land could provide was not as great as this Elder claimed.


    Most importantly, he did not know what sort of attitude the Life Sacred Land held toward his God Eye. The Ninth God Eye was a matter of utmost importance!


    He refused? Quasi-God Guan Long was flabbergasted and confused. The Sacred Land that he was so proud of had offered Zhao Feng an invitation, but he refused?


    "Friend Zhao, do you have some secret problem that you cannot divulge?" After a few moments of shock, the wrinkled elder came to his senses and asked.


    "I came this time in the hopes of leaving my friend with the Life Sacred Land¡­." Zhao Feng changed the subject and placed everyone''s focus on Han Ning''er.


    "Junior Han Ning''er pays respects to the seniors of the Sacred Land!" After an initial shock, Han Ning''er cautiously spoke. She then gave Zhao Feng a thoughtful glance.


    "The Eye of Life¡­. She may remain here!" the short Elder spoke for the first time.


    "The Eye of Life?" Xiahou Wu and Quasi-God Guan Long looked at Han Ning''er in surprise.


    Everyone had been focused on Zhao Feng this entire time, so they naturally placed little regard on the weak Han Ning''er. However, upon carefully inspecting her, they immediately sensed the blood of an Eye of Life descendant flowing through Han Ning''er''s body.


    "Since you do not plan to stay here, the Life Sacred Land will not be stubborn. If you wish to come in the future, the gates of the Life Sacred Land will open for you whenever you wish!" the short Elder continued.


    These words were quite a surprise to the wrinkled elder. Zhao Feng had refused just now, but there should have still been some room for negotiation. They could still offer divine weapons, resources, treasures, or promise him more.


    "What?" Quasi-God Guan Long stiffly turned to the short elder. Zhao Feng had refused the Sacred Land''s invitation, yet this elder was still so friendly, even proclaiming that the Sacred Land would always be ready to accept Zhao Feng?


    "Many thanks, Senior, for your immense favor!" Zhao Feng carefully examined this short elder.


    When this elder spoke, everyone else fell silent in agreement. It seemed like the strongest one here was this elder.


    "This junior bids farewell¡­." After exchanging a few more words, Zhao Feng began to say his goodbyes. After all, he had been away from the Spiritual Race for a very long time now.


    "Only by staying here can your potential be fully developed. Only here can you complete the mission Spirit Grass Gate entrusted you with," Zhao Feng said to Han Ning''er.


    When she thought of Spirit Grass Gate, Han Ning''er''s eyes became determined.


    After bidding farewell, Zhao Feng left the Life Sacred Land. Afterward, Xiahou Wu and Quasi-God Guan Long led Han Ning''er away.


    Only the two elders were left in the hall.


    "Sir, why did you let him go so easily?" The wrinkled elder was rather confused.


    "His true cultivation is Rank Seven!" the short Elder suddenly proclaimed.


    "What? This¡­ how?" The wrinkled elder''s face instantly froze in shock.


    Of course, it could only be determined that Zhao Feng''s current level was Rank Seven. No one could say if he had directly reached Rank Six and then later reached Rank Seven or if he had directly broken through into Rank Seven.


    "Although it''s quite a pity, Zhao Feng brought us an Eye of Life descendant. This has also allowed the Life Sacred Land to form a relationship with Zhao Feng," the short Elder said these words before vanishing.


    ...


    After leaving the Life Sacred Land, Zhao Feng determined his route and set off for the Spiritual Race.


    With his Spiritual Race core disciple token, he was able to smoothly use the teleportation arrays of various factions. But after using these arrays three times, Zhao Feng ran into a problem.


    "Come out!" Zhao Feng stood firm as he peered into the horizon.


    Fwooosh!


    At this moment, a golden ball of flame blazed to life. A tall and upright man who was missing an arm slowly stepped out, his entire body seemingly made of metal. His powerful aura was unmistakably that of an Ancient God''s.


    I was discovered!? The man examined Zhao Feng in surprise.


    This was the first time he was seeing the most brilliant prodigy of the Ziling Zone. He was very curious as to how Zhao Feng managed to notice him while he was concealed.


    It seems like the Blazing Gold Race began their operation as soon as they learned that I left the Life Sacred Land, placing people on the route back to the Spiritual Race¡­. From the man''s attire, Zhao Feng could guess at the faction behind him.


    It was naturally impossible to conceal the fact that Zhao Feng had appeared in the Life Sacred Land.


    "You refused the invitation of the Life Sacred Land, right? Since that''s the case, the Blazing Gold Race doesn''t need to waste time trying to recruit you!" The man with the severed arm suddenly turned cold and grim.


    The Blazing Gold Race naturally knew that, if Zhao Feng had appeared in the Life Sacred Land, the Life Sacred Land had definitely invited him to join it. If Zhao Feng agreed, he would have stayed in the Life Sacred Land. If he refused, he would go back to the Spiritual Race. Thus, the Blazing Gold Race had planted spies all along the route to the Spiritual Race; if Zhao Feng appeared, the man with the severed arm would immediately move out.


    "The Spiritual Race probably gave you a few trump cards, or else you wouldn''t appear so composed in front of me." The man with the severed arm gave a playful smile. "But I came prepared to kill you. Your fate is sealed!"


    The man''s face suddenly turned serious as he shot toward Zhao Feng, his entire body burning with killing intent.


    Swish!


    A silver ball appeared in the man''s one arm, white inscriptions flowing along its surface.


    As he thrust the ball forward, the silver ball fired off a rune-covered silver screen that melted into the air. Spatial binding power filled the world, primarily targeted at Zhao Feng.


    "With this space-sealing divine artifact, the Heaven Binding Pearl, you can''t escape!" The man with the severed arm grimly laughed as he charged at Zhao Feng in a ball of golden fire.


    Zhao Feng could already sense the searing sharpness of this light.


    The Blazing Gold Race was ranked 21st among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, just behind the Spiritual Race. However, this was a race with incredible battle prowess. It could not be underestimated.


    "That thing of yours can be called a space-sealing divine artifact too?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sneer.


    "Die!" The man''s palm became a sharp blade while his body transformed into a golden flame.


    The man with the severed arm had a rather high-level space-sealing divine artifact. It prevented others from using Space Intent while he himself was unaffected.


    At this moment, a dark silver robe appeared on Zhao Feng''s body.


    Swish!


    The robe flapped, allowing a pitch-black figure of flame to appear in front of Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon waved both claws, unleashing scarlet-and-black draconic flames at the one-armed man.


    "This is¡­ an expert with the blood of the Destruction Dragon Race!" The one-armed man fell back, a look of consternation on his face.


    It appeared that the Spiritual Race had given Zhao Feng a bodyguard. However, even though this foe had a top ten bloodline, the concentration was very low. It was not enough to overcome his Blazing Gold Race bloodline.


    "¡­the Spacetime Robe!"


    But when the one-armed man saw Zhao Feng''s robe, his shock was even greater than when he saw the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng used Space Intent to activate the Spacetime Robe.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Silvery spatial images penetrated through space, and spatial binding energy descended upon the one-armed man.


    "Now, you also can''t escape!" Zhao Feng coldly smiled as he returned the one-armed man''s words to him.


    His Spacetime Robe had many uses, and sealing space was naturally one of them.


    "Haha, you have no idea how high the heavens are!" The one-armed man suddenly bellowed with laughter, his face appearing even more excited as a golden flame burned in his eyes.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was no match for him, and even if the Spacetime Robe was a supreme-quality weapon, it was primarily meant for support and defense. Thus, Zhao Feng would find it very difficult to hurt him. If he killed the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, wouldn''t Zhao Feng be just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?


    Even if Zhao Feng had other trump cards given to him by the Spiritual Race that made the one-armed man unable to kill him, he was still confident in his ability to escape. After that, now that he had revealed the secret of the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng would have far more enemies than just the Blazing Gold Race.

 1274 Another Battle With a Rank Seven

    Chapter 1274 - Another Battle with a Rank Seven


    "Haha, you have no idea how high the heavens are!" The one-armed man''s face became ecstatic, his body blazing with golden flames that completely illuminated the surrounding region.


    Thwish!


    In a golden flash, the one-armed man shot toward the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon like his body was a sharp sword.


    In the one-armed man''s view, the only thing that could threaten him was the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. If he could kill it, everything would be settled.


    "A body-refining expert skilled in Metal and Fire Intent?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon turned gloomy.


    If it was facing an ordinary Ancient God, it was confident that it could fight to a stalemate, but this one-armed man had an extremely high-level bloodline and had also refined his body. Moreover, he had the sharpness of the Metal element and the explosive power of the Fire element. He was offense and defense packed into one terrifying package. It would be very difficult for the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon to challenge this person that was a cultivation level above itself.


    Boom!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately activated its Destruction Dragon Race bloodline. Balls of Destruction Dragon Flame burst out from between its scales.


    "If you''re not an Ancient God, then what does your bloodline matter!?" The one-armed man''s eyes were cold as he punched. His fist was clad in golden metal and seething with golden flames.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon extended its claws and slashed at the one-armed man.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two clashed, but it was the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon that was thrown back several dozen feet. Its entire body was in tatters, but fortunately, its Destruction Dragon body rapidly healed its injuries.


    The one-armed man stood as steady as a mountain. Even though his fist and arm were still covered in embers of Destruction Dragon Flame, his special bloodline and his cultivation quickly extinguished them.


    "Master?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was somewhat confused. Why hadn''t Zhao Feng attacked yet?


    This kid is probably planning to flee as soon as I start fighting this possessor of the Destruction Dragon Race bloodline seriously! The one-armed man was rather wary of Zhao Feng.


    Someone of Zhao Feng''s level, without powerful techniques, would find it very hard to harm him. Once the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon began to show signs of losing, Zhao Feng would probably flee. Thus, he needed to get rid of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon as quickly as possible.


    "Let me send you on your way!" The one-armed man stared at the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and a heavy and scorching worldly energy began to resonate through the heavens.


    The land for a radius of tens of thousands of li suddenly sunk down, and afterward, all this land became a sea of golden flame.


    The one-armed man''s body also underwent a massive transformation. His body swelled into a ferocious behemoth, his entire body covered in blazing golden scales.


    Boom!


    At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was forced to be cautious and push its Destruction Dragon Race bloodline to the limit.


    "Heaven Falls, Earth Rends!" The golden-scaled monster shot with incredible speed to appear above the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. His massive claw gathered up a strength that could pulverize almost everything and slammed down.


    Boom! Bang!


    As the one-armed-man-turned-behemoth landed on the ground, the earth quaked, and golden waves of fire swept out in all directions.


    "Not good! I can''t block it!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon grimaced.


    The one-armed man was seeking to end the battle quickly, activating his bloodline and using a combat skill to finish off the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon in a single blow. If it took the full brunt of this attack, not even the Destruction Dragon Race bloodline would be able to save it. Even if it wasn''t dead, it would be so wounded that it would be incapable of fighting.


    But at this moment, it received Zhao Feng''s order; "Attack with all your power!"


    The fear on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s face instantly vanished.


    "Destruction Dragon Breath!" Fully circulating its bloodline, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon spat out a forbidden divine flame of black and red.


    Boom!


    This massive ball of black-and-red flame ¨C a blazing sun that would incinerate everything ¨C flew at the one-armed man.


    "A puny trick! I will smash it to bits!" The one-armed man was fearless as he sought to rapidly crush it.


    But at this moment, he noticed something strange. Silently, a ripple of Eye Intent appeared over his chest.


    Suddenly, a blinding white blade of lightning shot out of this vortex. It was taller than a man and exuded the terrible energy of Tribulation Lightning.


    Swoosh!


    The massive white blade of lightning swept straight over the man''s waist, cutting open his stomach.


    "Ah, shameless rascal, ambushing me¡­!" The one-armed man''s momentum instantly fell apart, and even the skill that he had been preparing to use suffered a drastic drop in power.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The severed portion of the man''s waist began to connect back together. After all, he was a body-refining expert, so he possessed a prodigious defense and recovery ability.


    Kabooom!


    At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Destruction Dragon Breath struck the one-armed man.


    "Ah¡­!" The man''s painful screams could be heard from within that black-and-red sun.


    Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash had only cut at the man''s body, but it hadn''t inflicted much actual harm. However, while he was still recovering, the Destructive Dragon Flames of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon invaded his body, which completely altered the nature of the situation.


    The Destruction Dragon Flames of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were already extremely powerful, and now that they were able to enter the one-armed man''s body through his gaping wound, one could easily imagine the damage being inflicted.


    Boom! Bang!


    The one-armed man charged out from that black ball of Destructive flames, but by now, the power of his Heaven Falls, Earth Rends skill was so weak that it was of no threat to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon whatsoever.


    This kid has the Spacetime Robe, so he can use Space Intent, but he can also control Tribulation Lightning energy¡­? The one-armed man was extremely dejected. He had predicted none of this.


    His Heaven Binding Pearl was restraining Zhao Feng''s Space Intent, but given that Zhao Feng was wearing the supreme-quality Spacetime Robe, these restraints were useless. On top of that, Zhao Feng had control over Tribulation Lightning energy, and he was able to use Space eye-bloodline techniques to directly send those attacks to his body to break his defense.


    "Master really knows how to seize an opportunity!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon smiled as it transformed into a pitch-black flame to keep up the assault on the one-armed man.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The one-armed recovered from his injuries while fiercely battling with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, but he still had the upper hand.


    It''s time to attack! Zhao Feng condensed two golden wings behind himself and slowly approached the battlefield.


    Upon reaching the level of Ancient God, he had long ago lost the advantage of his refined body. He wouldn''t even be able to take one blow from a real Ancient God body-refining expert. After all, the Sacred Lightning Body was only meant to be cultivated to Rank Four True God.


    Thus, while fighting this one-armed man, Zhao Feng would not attack him from close range.


    "Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng gathered all his strength and fired a long-distance attack at the one-armed man.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng''s massive palm of lightning struck the one-armed man, sending a numbing pain through his body.


    Damn! This kid might only be a Rank Six True God, but his Intent energy is powerful, and he even has Tribulation Lightning energy! The one-armed man grimaced.


    Even worse was that Zhao Feng wasn''t getting close and was attacking from behind the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    But he still has gotten a little closer to the battlefield. I might be able to find a chance to directly attack him! The one-armed man began to develop a plan.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    With the advantages conferred by his body and bloodline, the one-armed man managed to keep up with Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. At the same time, he was moving at high speeds to avoid Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng ended being a little too close to the one-armed man.


    "Die, Zhao Feng!" the one-armed roared as a golden awl appeared in his hand.


    When this awl appeared, the air seemed to suddenly be filled with countless sharp rays of light, cutting the entire world into tiny pieces.


    Boom! Swish!


    The one-armed man suddenly exploded with his gathered-up strength and shot toward Zhao Feng in a scorching golden light.


    "Not good! A high-quality divine weapon!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon grimaced.


    The one-armed man had never attacked Zhao Feng previously, but that was because he wasn''t used to his level of speed. If he attacked, he had to be absolutely certain that he could kill Zhao Feng.


    The one-armed man''s golden awl unleashed a dazzling golden radiance as it fused with him to become an upside-down pyramid.


    "Die, brat!" The one-armed man excitedly smiled.


    His speed at the moment of the explosion was incredibly fast, and the range of his attack was so huge that there was no way Zhao Feng could dodge. His Rank Seven Ancient God cultivation together with his high-quality weapon were certain to slay to Zhao Feng.


    "It looks to me like you''re the one seeking death!" Zhao Feng didn''t even try to dodge.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng ceased to hide his cultivation and exploded with the power of a Rank Seven Ancient God.


    "Even a Rank Seven Ancient God will die!" After his initial shock, the one-armed man only felt an even greater desire to kill Zhao Feng.


    He finally understood why Zhao Feng was so fearless; it was because he was already an Ancient God. But Zhao Feng had only just broken into the Ancient God level. There was still a very large gap between him and the one-armed man.


    Swish!


    A small purple shield suddenly appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. This was one of the spoils he had obtained from killing Ancient God Night Dragon. Although its quality had dropped somewhat, it was still wholly capable of blocking the one-armed man''s attack.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two divine artifacts fiercely clashed.


    High-quality divine artifact!? The one-armed man''s expression dimmed. He didn''t expect for Zhao Feng to have a high-quality divine artifact so soon after becoming an Ancient God.


    However, this high-quality divine artifact was damaged and not suited for Zhao Feng, so Zhao Feng found it very difficult to exert its full power.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly erupted with Destructive lightning energy.


    The one-armed man was far too close to dodge.


    Kacrack!


    The soul attack immediately caused the one-armed man to become dizzy and lose control over his body''s power.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon unleashed a flurry of attacks on the one-armed man.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash!" Zhao Feng fired off another eye-bloodline technique.


    Swoosh!


    A blade of white lightning cut open a massive wound on the one-armed man''s body, extending from his head to his waist. With this massive gap in the one-armed man''s defense, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s attack became even more effective.


    Not good! This guy is a Rank Seven Ancient God with an abnormally powerful eye-bloodline. It''s not possible for me to kill him. I have to spread this information¡­! The one-armed man suppressed his pain and hurriedly decided on a plan.


    A Rank Seven Ancient God with a supreme-quality defensive divine artifact was already extremely difficult for him to kill, and this wasn''t even considering the presence of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Heh, where are you running!?" Zhao Feng coldly sneered. He had revealed all his secrets, so how could he let the one-armed man just run away?


    Zhao Feng fired off another Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame from his left eye.


    Even though the one-armed man was already on his guard, he was still incapable of enduring the tremendous amount of damage. His soul wracked with pain, he fell unconscious.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng activated the Spacetime Robe and sent the one-armed man into the robe''s internal dimension.

 1275 Pure Spirit Sacred Water

    Chapter 1275 - Pure Spirit Sacred Water


    After taking the one-armed man into the Spacetime Robe Dimension, Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon headed in as well.


    Damn! I''m in the Spacetime Robe''s internal dimension?


    After recovering from the Soul eye-bloodline technique, the one-armed man dejectedly took stock of his surroundings. Around him was a vast starry sky while below him was an incomparably huge gray stone slab. There was a black-clothed and cold-faced youth on this slab as well as an egg.


    The black-clothed youth had a sinister and horrifying aura, but his cultivation was too low for the one-armed man to pay him any mind. What he was truly surprised at was the presence of that egg.


    However, he didn''t have the time to worry about such things right now.


    "Where do you plan to run now?" Zhao Feng had a teasing smile on his face.


    He was the owner of the Spacetime Robe, so he could greatly restrain his opponents in the Spacetime Robe Dimension. But enemies could also easily damage the core of the Spacetime Robe in this dimension and severely damage the Spacetime Robe.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body flashed, and he appeared to the one-armed man''s right and fired off a palm. On the other side, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon launched its own Destructive attack.


    What powerful suppression! The one-armed man grimaced.


    Zhao Feng was the master of the Spacetime Robe, so the one-armed man''s Space Intent was extremely restrained here, and using Spacetime Intent was completely out of the question.


    Kabooom!


    The one-armed man could only push his body to the limit and defend.


    The framework of the Spacetime Robe should be in this gray slab! The one-armed man stared straight down.


    If he could damage the framework of the Spacetime Robe, he could easily leave this dimension.


    "Don''t put up a pointless structure. In truth, I could have easily killed you outside, and now that you''re in the Spacetime Robe Dimension, you have even less power to resist." Zhao Feng fixed his left eye on the one-armed man and unleashed a powerful Eye Intent coupled with a supreme Spacetime Intent.


    "Spacetime Seal!" A Spacetime Intent that was both real and unreal descended onto the one-armed man.


    "This is¡­ Spacetime¡­ eye-bloodline technique!" The one-armed man''s face twisted in shock as even the speed at which he spoke slowed down.


    Spacetime Intent was a supreme Intent that was incredibly difficult to comprehend. For the sake of convenience, an average True God would dip their toe into Space Intent, but they wouldn''t even worry about Time Intent.


    But at this time, Zhao Feng was using a Spacetime eye-bloodline technique. Moreover, this eye-bloodline technique was incredibly profound, even capable of restraining an Ancient God like the one-armed man.


    "Attack now!" Zhao Feng shouted.


    "Destruction Dragon Breath!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon activated its bloodline and spat out a sun of Destructive black flame that enveloped the one-armed man.


    "Death Curse Bind!" Zhao Wang took out the Staff of Death Curse and used a forbidden art.


    The Staff of Death Curse, like the Spacetime Robe, had a set of combat skills and secret arts recorded within it. Zhao Wang''s cultivation was rather low, so he primarily relied on the power of the Staff of Death Curse to harm the one-armed man.


    Zhao Feng also didn''t stop, firing off three Soul eye-bloodline techniques with his left eye.


    "Damn¡­ I''ll destroy¡­ your¡­ Spacetime Robe!" Despair slowly began to appear on the one-armed man''s face.


    "He''s going to self-detonate!" Zhao Feng immediately knew what the one-armed man was trying to do. However, since he was bound by the Spacetime eye-bloodline technique, even self-destruction took a very long time.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng immediately began to gather Tribulation Lightning energy in his left eye.


    Kacrack!


    Twisted Tribulation Lightning flame exploded on the one-armed man''s soul, hindering his attempt to self-detonate.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Wang continued to attack.


    Gaze of the God Eye!


    When Zhao Feng realized through his left eye that the one-armed was on the verge of self-detonating, he used the soul-extracting eye-bloodline technique of his left eye.


    Under the Spacetime Seal, the one-armed man was slow in even thinking about putting up a resistance, making him much more susceptible to this attack. Thus, the golden soul of the one-armed man slowly began to be pulled from his body.


    The weaker the soul''s control over the body became, the less possible it became to self-detonate.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Wang used this chance to frenziedly attack the one-armed man''s body, inflicting terrible wounds upon it.


    "The Spacetime Seal''s effect is about to dissipate!" Zhao Feng could sense the one-armed man''s determination to resist was rapidly growing stronger. In the end, he was able to completely resist the Gaze of the God Eye.


    "Then go back to your body!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but chuckle as he stopped the Gaze of the God Eye.


    This one-armed man had lived for many years, so his Soul Intent was extremely powerful. It would be rather difficult to extract his soul.


    However, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Wang had basically finished destroying his body. Even if the one-armed returned to his body now, he would find it very difficult to produce a powerful self-detonation.


    "Damn! The Blazing Gold Race won''t forgive you!" the one-armed man furiously bellowed.


    His body was so mangled and torn up that it didn''t even look human. Zhao Feng and the others could clearly sense that the golden blood in his body was rapidly flowing as it attempted to mend his wounds.


    "Even if you self-detonate, you''ll be of no threat to me." Zhao Feng''s indifferent eyes peered down at the one-armed man as he playfully smiled.


    "What do you plan to do?" The one-armed man felt helpless.


    His injuries were too severe. Even with his bloodline and secret techniques, he would need some time to recover. But since Zhao Feng hadn''t made the killing move yet, it was clear that he still had a chance to live.


    "Be my slave." Zhao Feng''s tone indicated that there was no room to negotiate.


    "Haha, you''re delusional¡­!" The one-armed man raised his head and laughed.


    The Spiritual Race and the Blazing Gold Race were enemy factions. If he submitted to Zhao Feng, he would be joining the Spiritual Race. The Spiritual Race definitely wouldn''t be at ease around him while the Blazing Gold Race would definitely want to eliminate a disgrace like him.


    But before the one-armed man could finish speaking¡­


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng blinked to his side and activated his left eye. Zhao Feng and the one-armed man vanished.


    A moment later, the pair appeared in another dimension. This was a range of volcanoes. On the peaks and around these volcanoes, vast and majestic palaces had been built.


    "Where is this? Why did you take me here!?" the one-armed man shouted.


    He couldn''t recall ever seeing a place like this. It was precisely because it was unfamiliar that he was afraid.


    At this moment, a scorching and majestic pressure descended.


    "Lord God!" The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch appeared next to the one-armed man and reverently looked at Zhao Feng.


    "This is¡­ you are Lord¡­ God?" The one-armed man stared in shock at the powerful Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch, and then he turned in consternation to Zhao Feng.


    Why had a terrifying expert like this called Zhao Feng Lord God?


    Lord God? The one-armed man suddenly thought of something, and then he stared in consternation at Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "Don''t let him die, but the rest is up to you," Zhao Feng casually ordered.


    "Yes!" The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch immediately gave a savage smile.


    A moment later, majestic energy wrapped up the one-armed man, freezing his blood, Divine Power, and thoughts, making him incapable of resisting.


    "Where are the things I requested?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "Here!" The white-bearded patriarch produced a small red bottle.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng took the red bottle and left the Ancient Dream Realm.


    ...


    The area of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods where Zhao Feng and the one-armed man had fought was still burning with black and golden flames. The frightening aura and dreadful heat made other creatures too afraid to approach.


    Swish!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly appeared.


    "Master was correct. There really is someone!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon swiftly left.


    While fighting with the one-armed man, Zhao Feng had detected through his left eye other members of the Blazing Gold Race. They were probably all this man''s subordinates. This was why Zhao Feng had moved the battle to the Spacetime Robe; to keep some of his trump cards hidden.


    Four people were hidden on the distant perimeter of this flame-ridden area.


    ''Who''s that black-scaled man?"


    "It''s not Zhao Feng and it''s not our race''s Ancient God!"


    ...


    After he was far enough from the area, Zhao Feng emerged from the Spacetime Robe. He put on his white veiled hat and continued on his journey.


    "What''s going on with the Spiritual Race?" Zhao Feng muttered.


    As he was passing through the factions under the control of the Spiritual Race, he noticed that the atmosphere was abnormally tense.


    About a month later, Zhao Feng returned to the Spiritual Race.


    "Zhao Feng has returned!"


    Zhao Feng''s appearance set off an uproar in the worker disciple, periphery disciple, and inner disciple regions.


    "Zhao Feng, in the future, don''t leave on your own. You''re a genius being watched by the entire Ziling Zone. Many factions might try to assassinate you!" In the sky, several Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race immediately scolded him.


    They only learned that Zhao Feng had left when they learned that he had appeared in the Life Sacred Land.


    "Zhao Feng, one month from now, the Spiritual Race will distribute Pure Spirit Sacred Water. You just broke through, so this Sacred Water will be of enormous benefit to you. Do not miss out on this opportunity," Ancient God Floating Spirit slowly said.


    "I understand." With this casual comment, Zhao Feng returned to his residence.


    "It appears that he didn''t accept the Life Sacred Land''s invitation!" The Ancient God Elders exchanged glances in silence.


    When they learned that Zhao Feng had appeared in the Life Sacred Land, their first reaction was to think that Zhao Feng had betrayed the Spiritual Race and chosen to join the Sacred Land, but the result took them by surprise.


    ...


    After returning to his residence, Zhao Feng was preparing to go and see Zhao Yufei, but he soon realized that there was an array around her palace. It was clear that Zhao Yufei was in seclusion.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out the small red bottle.


    "I wonder what the effect of the Blood Flame Qilin Race blood is." Zhao Feng impatiently opened the stopper, poured out some blood, and rubbed it on his arm.


    Zhao Feng began to cultivate, circulating the Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline to absorb and refine this blood.


    Kacrack!


    Instantly, the blood-colored flames on Zhao Feng''s body became twice as large. These bloody flames writhed and twisted as if they were fighting and struggling.


    A long while later, the blood on Zhao Feng''s arm had completely disappeared, upon which he opened his eyes.


    "So little, but my Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline has managed to advance ten-some places!"


    There weren''t many kinds of blood that his ancient bloodline could absorb, but the blood of the Blood Flame Qilin Race was one of them.


    "That''s right! The Spiritual Race will be distributing the Pure Spirit Sacred Water soon!" Zhao Feng suddenly remembered, though he still didn''t know what this Pure Spirit Sacred Water even was.

 1276 The Contest Begins

    Chapter 1276 - The Contest Begins


    Zhao Feng knew nothing about the Pure Spirit Sacred Water, so he could only ask someone else. He didn''t know many core disciples, so he went to find the inner disciple Pan Hao.


    "Brother Zhao, what matter have you come to find me for?" Pan Hao somewhat cautiously asked.


    Zhao Feng''s ascendant rise to become the most brilliant genius of the Spiritual Race had inspired deep respect in Pan Hao. He was well aware that a vast gap existed between himself and Zhao Feng.


    "What do you know about the Spiritual Race''s Pure Spirit Sacred Water?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "The Spiritual Race''s Pure Spirit Sacred Water is best taken after a breakthrough. You directly broke through into Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm, so the Pure Spirit Sacred Water''s effect on you should be several times the normal effect¡­." Pan Hao began to explain things to Zhao Feng.


    In summary, Pure Spirit Sacred Water was capable of stabilizing Divine Stages and purifying Divine Power, as well as expelling impurities from the body.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled as his attitude went from indifference to extreme interest in the Pure Spirit Sacred Water. If he could take some Pure Spirit Sacred Water after each breakthrough, he could almost immediately stabilize his cultivation level. This would be a massive boon to his development.


    "Every faction has their own unique resource. The Spiritual Race''s Pure Spirit Sacred Water is equivalent to the Life Sacred Land''s Pools of Life, to be found nowhere else." Zhao Feng had developed an even deeper understanding of this topic.


    "In truth, the distribution of the Pure Spirit Sacred Water was originally going to be five years later, but it was moved up," Pan Hao continued.


    Originally, Pure Spirit Sacred Water was distributed every ten years. However, the distribution had been moved up this time, with the reason probably being Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had become a Rank Six True God in one go, which was far too large of a leap. Moreover, Zhao Feng had refused to become a disciple of the upper echelons of the Spiritual Race, and the Spiritual Race feared that, without a master, Zhao Feng would be in such a rush to advance that his foundation would end up unstable, wasting his talent and potential. Thus, the distribution of Pure Spirit Sacred Water was moved up.


    But because it was being distributed ahead of time, there were fewer spots available for the distribution.


    Zhao Feng nodded. The Spiritual Race was treating him rather well. It was not in vain that he had rejected the Life Sacred Land''s invitation.


    "No wonder they were all in seclusion." Zhao Feng had gone to find Kong Die and Yuan Long, but they were also in seclusion.


    "I wonder if I''ll ever be able to get any Pure Spirit Sacred Water¡­." Pan Hao shook his head and sighed.


    Pure Spirit Sacred Water was only meant for Spiritual Race disciples between Rank Four and Rank Seven, but Pan Hao was only a Rank three True God. He didn''t even have the right to fight for a spot.


    "If you cultivate hard, you''ll definitely get it!" Zhao Feng patted on Pan Hao on the shoulder.


    "Mm!" Pan Hao gave a firm nod. After chatting for some time, he realized that Zhao Feng was the same Zhao Feng. Even though his status had risen, he still treated Pan Hao with the same attitude.


    "I look forward to the day where you also enter the ranks of the core disciples!" Zhao Feng earnestly said and then took out several cultivation treasures.


    Pan Hao nodded. Before, he hadn''t been very motivated to cultivate. But Zhao Feng''s astonishing action had lit up his resolve, and he was currently working very hard at cultivation.


    "This¡­!" Pan Hao was so excited that he didn''t know what to say.


    The cultivation treasures that Zhao Feng had taken out were meant for Rank Five True Gods and above, and even Rank Six True Gods would benefit enormously from using them. Even an inner disciple like him wouldn''t be able to get his hands on such resources.


    The two chatted a little longer before going their separate ways. Pan Hao was in a rush to go back and cultivate while Zhao Feng planned to take a look around the Spiritual Race''s All Spirit Hall.


    The All Spirit Hall was where the Spiritual Race stored its techniques and skills. Now that he was an Ancient God, Zhao Feng had yet to find a technique that was suitable for him.


    The moment he appeared, a guardian Elder showed up and told Zhao Feng that he needed to exchange contribution points for the techniques of the Spiritual Race.


    Zhao Feng had done missions as a periphery disciple, so he was somewhat familiar with contribution points.


    "How many contribution points does it take to exchange for a technique suitable for an Ancient God?" Zhao Feng asked so that he could get an idea of the costs.


    "One hundred thousand to two hundred thousand."


    The guardian Elder''s words gave Zhao Feng''s mind a jolt.


    Zhao Feng immediately left.


    The contribution points he had built up as a periphery disciple only amounted to around one hundred. Although he was now a core disciple and could get higher-level missions that offered more contribution points, getting more than a hundred thousand would take an incredible amount of time.


    "The All Spirit Hall happens to have a technique that cultivates the Five Elements and can let one break through into the God Lord level. Five hundred thousand contribution points!" the guardian Elder messaged Zhao Feng as he was leaving.


    "A technique that can let one break through into the God Lord level¡­ five hundred thousand?" Zhao Feng instantly understood and clicked his tongue.


    He finally understood how precious a suitable Ancient God cultivation technique was. Just the ordinary ones cost a hundred thousand-some contribution points, but they would only bring one to Rank Nine at most. Techniques that could be cultivated all the way to the God Lord level were practically priceless.


    "There''s no rush. I just broke into Rank Seven. I still have time to find a technique," Zhao Feng helplessly said.


    Upon returning to his residence, he activated the palace''s defensive array and entered the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    "I''m in no rush to raise my cultivation. Let''s work on improving my Intent energy!" Zhao Feng made up his mind.


    He had many Intents. The stronger ones were the Five Elements, Wind Lightning, and Spacetime Intents. Among his Intents, only Metal, Lightning, and Space had reached Level Five. The rest were at level Four, while his Time Intent was actually at only the peak of Level Two.


    Zhao Feng took out many Five Elements Intent Crystals to comprehend Five Elements Intent while he used the Spacetime Robe to cultivate Spacetime Intent.


    That was internal comprehension. Externally, Zhao Feng used the blood of the Blood Flame Qilin Race to strengthen his Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline.


    Around a hundred days later, Zhao Feng ended his cultivation.


    "The Five Elements Intent and Wind Lightning Intent have all been raised to Level Five while my Time Intent has risen to Level Three."


    Zhao Feng was quite satisfied with the results. With all five of the five elements having reached Level Five, his strength had been given a significant boost.


    Of course, his Intent energies had been able to increase so quickly primarily because his cultivation was simply too high. Ever since he had broken through, he hadn''t spent much time raising the levels of his Intents.


    For example, if Zhao Feng chose to comprehend any ordinary Intent, he would need only a few days to grasp the basics.


    "Today should be the day the Pure Spirit Sacred Water is distributed." Zhao Feng left his palace.


    "Brother Feng, you finally came out. Today is the day the Pure Spirit Sacred Water will be distributed!" Zhao Yufei was already waiting for him outside.


    The pair went off to the central plaza of the core disciple region.


    Four round fighting stages had been set up on the plaza. Many Spiritual Race disciples were gathered around each one.


    "Look, it''s Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei!"


    "I''m so envious! A talented man and a beautiful woman! It''s a perfect match!"


    The arrival of Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.


    Zhao Feng was the Spiritual Race''s most brilliant genius while Zhao Yufei was the Spiritual Race''s number one beauty. She was also the most talented female disciple of the Spiritual Race.


    A few inner disciples were extremely envious and admiring of this couple. A few of the strong core disciples viewed Zhao Feng with cold looks of hostility.


    "His strength is unfathomable!" Only True God Nu Ji and True God Zhi Gang, people who had fought with Zhao Feng, treated him with deep respect.


    "He''s Zhao Feng?" Jin Wei''s older brother Jin Kun coldly stared.


    He wanted to find a chance to challenge Zhao Feng earlier, but Zhao Feng hadn''t been home. And in this contest for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water, his cultivation wasn''t the same as Zhao Feng''s, so they wouldn''t have a chance to fight.


    "Zhao Feng? He''s the one who became a Rank Six True God in one go?" A handsome and icy-faced youth shot Zhao Feng an apathetic glance.


    "What? Ancient God Ice Origin isn''t also thinking about attacking him, right?" a Rank Seven Ancient God of the Spiritual Race joked.


    The other people in the area instantly perked up their ears.


    Ancient God Ice Origin was the strongest prodigy of the last generation. He had just become a Rank Seven Ancient God, but he was already capable of defeating ordinary Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race.


    The Spiritual Race had placed high hopes on Ancient God Ice Origin, and previously, he had been one of the experts with the highest chance of obtaining Zhao Yufei''s hand.


    Alas, even someone like Ancient God Ice Origin was met with blunt refusal from Zhao Yufei. Now, the man that Zhao Yufei favored had directly broken into Rank Six and become the strongest genius in the history of the Spiritual Race.


    "Hmph, everyone beneath Ancient God is an ant!" Ancient God Ice Origin haughtily proclaimed.


    "This really is a five-star faction. There are at least ten Rank Seven Ancient Gods here!" Zhao Feng examined the Rank Seven Ancient Gods around the four fighting stages.


    These Ancient Gods were all rather young. The Spiritual Race also probably had a few Ancient Gods that were no longer disciples and naturally didn''t have the right to compete for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water.


    "Damn! This kid is ignoring us!" At the Rank Six True God stage, an apish youth with a large body and thick arms grumbled.


    Zhao Feng was a Rank Six True God, but when he arrived, he went to examine the Rank Seven Ancient God stage. These Rank Six True Gods believed that Zhao Feng wasn''t taking them seriously.


    A little while later, more and more Spiritual Race disciples appeared on the plaza. Almost everyone was here, with the only exceptions being an extremely small number of people who were out on missions and not able to return.


    "This distribution of Pure Spirit Sacred Water is early, so the number of spots available has been halved. Let''s all do our best," a loud voice suddenly rang through the air.


    Everyone present immediately fell silent.


    The Elder supervising this contest was a prestigious and respected Elder of the Spiritual Race. He was also extremely strong.


    Of course, the rest of the Spiritual Race''s upper echelon was still watching this contest in secret.


    "After this contest is over, I have another matter to announce!" the Ancient God Elder solemnly proclaimed.


    The crowd instantly began to speculate. It was no minor matter if it was being announced before so many disciples of the Spiritual Race.


    "Now, let the Pure Spirit Sacred Water Contest¡­ begin!"


    The crowd immediately began to buzz with chatter, everyone finding it difficult to restrain their excitement.


    Swoosh...


    Four Elders suddenly distributed themselves to the four fighting stages.


    Before the battles began, the participants at each stage needed to draw lots.


    "Now, begin the battle according to the number you drew. Each person will have to fight with everyone else. In the end, you will be ranked by the number of victories!"


    The officiating Elder had barely spoken when an apish youth stepped onto the stage.


    "Who''s my first opponent!? Hurry and get up here!" the youth scanned the crowd with arrogant eyes as he roared.


    "I didn''t think that Bao Yuan would be number one. I wonder who his opponent is. It will be a disaster for them!" The crowd below began to chat.


    Bao Yuan was a peak Rank Six, one of the strongest competitors at this stage.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng appeared across from Bao Yuan.


    The crowd instantly fell silent.

 1277 Zhao Yufeis Progress

    Chapter 1277 - Zhao Yufei''s Progress


    "It''s¡­ him!" The corner of Bao Yuan''s mouth twitched.


    Earlier, he had fumed over the fact that Zhao Feng was only paying attention to the Ancient Gods while ignoring the Rank Six True Gods. However, he really didn''t have the confidence to defeat Zhao Feng in a fair duel, not unless Zhao Feng was injured or exhausted from fighting several more battles.


    "Heh, I didn''t think that Bao Yuan and Zhao Feng would be number one and number two. If these two powerful fellows go at it first, our chances of winning will increase!"


    "That''s right! The more intense their fight, the better!"


    Quite a few core disciples chuckled to themselves.


    My number is rather far back. As long as I conserve my strength, once Zhao Feng''s exhausts himself through a few battles, I have a chance of defeating him! Zhang Yutong said to himself.


    After being defeated by Zhao Feng, he had trained very hard. His strength had greatly increased, and he had made very thorough preparations.


    "Hmph, I''ve been aching to have a match with you!" Bao Yuan angrily yelled.


    Since this battle was unavoidable, he couldn''t lose out in terms of attitude.


    "I hope that you are worthy of fighting with me." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    This relaxed and carefree attitude exerted an invisible pressure on the other Rank Six True Gods.


    "Hmph!" Bao Yuan angrily snorted. What he hated the most was other people looking down on him.


    Boom!


    Bao Yuan activated his bloodline, his body growing nearly ten times larger to become a massive black-furred ape. At the same time, a massive dark yellow hammer appeared in his hand. This hammer exuded energy that was pushing up against the limit of an average-quality divine weapon.


    But Zhao Feng appeared utterly unperturbed. He didn''t activate his bloodline or take out a divine weapon.


    "Conceited people don''t live for long!" A fierce light flickered through Bao Yuan''s eyes as he swung his hammer at Zhao Feng.


    Before the massive hammer landed, the sky went dim as an enormous pressure suddenly engulfed Zhao Feng''s surroundings.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng activated his Sacred Lightning Body and circulated his Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Divine Power! Suddenly, the five-colored lightning around him became dark yellow and wrapped around Zhao Feng''s fist.


    "Earth Lightning Divine Fist!" Zhao Feng converted his Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Divine Power into Earth Tribulation Lightning Divine Power and punched.


    Boom! Bang!


    A heavy thump resounded over the stage.


    Thumpthump! Bao Yuan was forced back two steps.


    "Five Elements Intent!" Bao Yuan''s face was frozen in shock.


    The surrounding Rank Six True Gods also became a little dejected. There were strong and weak Intents. Any one of the Five Elements Intents on its own was extremely ordinary, but when they were all together, they created one of the strongest Intents.


    The ability of the Five Elements to convert between each other was one of the unique traits of this Intent. Although Zhao Feng''s Earth Intent was only at Level Five, after conversion, it had the power of Level Six.


    Thwish!


    After this punch, Zhao Feng transformed into a golden lightning bolt and leaped forward.


    "Metal Lightning Divine Finger!" Zhao Feng converted the Five Elements Intent into Metal Tribulation Lightning Divine Power and jabbed forward with a finger.


    A dazzling flash of lightning shot toward Bao Yuan like a sharp and unbreakable weapon.


    His attacks are still so strong, even without a divine weapon! Bao Yuan had an unsightly grimace as he raised his divine weapon in an attempt to block Zhao Feng''s finger.


    But this finger was simply too fast!


    Swoosh!


    A bloody hole appeared on Bao Yuan''s shoulder, from which blood gushed out.


    "Wind Devil Hammer!" Bao Yuan saw that the situation was bad and used a combat skill.


    His hands madly flailed the hammer like a chaotic devil, and gloomy whirlwinds began to sweep over the stage.


    "It''s about time to end this," Zhao Feng said, an uninterested look on his face.


    Swish!


    Without relying on his Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng could still use his powerful Space Intent to blink a certain distance. Appearing behind Bao Yuan, Zhao Feng converted his Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Divine Power into Fire Tribulation Lightning Divine Power.


    "Heaven-Incinerating Lightning Fire!" Zhao Feng struck, unleashing storms of lightning-fire at Bao Yuan.


    Brrrooom!


    A massive palm charged at Bao Yuan like a devil made of lightning and fire, crushing Bao Yuan''s attack to pieces.


    All the blood in Bao Yuan''s body was boiling as he was wracked by searing hot pain. Only at the edge of the stage did he finally manage to stabilize.


    "His attacks are even stronger than Bao Yuan''s!"


    "Five Elements Intent has always been one of the strongest Intents!"


    Many Rank Six True God grimaced as they witnessed Zhao Feng''s strength. If even Bao Yuan had lost so easily, what hope did they have?


    "So strong!" Bao Yuan knew that he could never defeat Zhao Feng, so he stepped off the stage.


    After taking some recovery medicines, Bao Yuan seated himself cross-legged on the ground and began to recuperate from his injuries.


    High up in the sky, three Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race were watching the battles below. These three Ancient Gods were different from the Ancient God presiding over the matches; they were much stronger and wielded far more authority.


    "Five Elements Intent, and each Intent is extremely strong!"


    "His age is also suitable. Let''s choose him!"


    "Ancient God Ice Origin''s battle has begun!"


    After Zhao Feng left the stage, the number three and number four participants immediately stepped forward.


    "Look, Ancient God Ice Origin is heading up!"


    "Ancient God Ice Origin is definitely one of the strongest of the Rank Seven Ancient Gods!"


    The disciples around the other three stage shot glances at the Ancient God stage, and quite a few female disciples squealed in excitement.


    Zhao Feng also turned to look.


    "Ice Crystal Slash!"


    Ancient God Ice Origin gripped a sword of ice, appearing to unleash a massive mountain of ice with each slash. The extremely cold and frigid pressure he unleashed almost completely froze the blood and Divine Power in his opponent''s body.


    The battle didn''t even last for ten exchanges before his opponent conceded. After all, the Pure Spirit Sacred Water contest was decided according to the number of wins. There was no need to waste energy fighting against the best experts. For example, Bao Yuan soon realized that he was no match for Zhao Feng and immediately conceded so that he could recover and prepare for his next matches.


    Zhao Feng placed most of his attention on the battles between the Rank Seven Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race. After all, there was no one at the Rank Six True God stage who could make him fight seriously.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but activate his left eye, taking in every detail of the battles on the Ancient God stage, including the way Divine Power circulated through the bodies of both participants.


    The Ancient Gods fighting at this time were both equally matched, so their battle dragged on for some time.


    Two complete sets of combat skills are now mine! Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    By using his left eye, he could analyze and reconstruct the techniques used by his opponents.


    The skills cultivated by these Ancient God geniuses were almost all high-quality divine-rank techniques. In All Spirit Hall, these high-quality combat skills weren''t as expensive as high-quality cultivation techniques, but they were still extremely precious.


    By observing these Ancient Gods fight, Zhao Feng was browsing through their combat skills. Zhao Feng could derive inspiration from these combat skills so that he could modify and improve his own moves.


    In comparison to the battles on the Ancient God stage, the battles of the Rank Six Ancient God proceeded very quickly. The first round finished, and Zhao Feng stepped onto the stage once more.


    "I concede!"


    This time, Zhao Feng''s opponent was rather mediocre in strength and immediately conceded.


    The battles continued, with the time taken by each battle getting shorter and shorter. After all, after each battle, the participants would get a little weaker. Those battles in which there was little suspense about the outcome were almost all decided after a few exchanges.


    "Zhao Feng, come!" Yuan Long sternly called out from the stage.


    "My turn again?" Zhao Feng had been so engrossed in the battles of the Rank Seven Ancient Gods that he hadn''t even noticed.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s figure immediately appeared on the stage.


    His opponent this time was Yuan Long.


    When Zhao Feng first met Yuan Long, Yuan Long was someone who was capable of instantly killing the strongest expert of the Continent Zone, Demigod Dragon Emperor. Zhao Feng wasn''t even worth a glance.


    Even after Zhao Feng came to the Spiritual Race, Yuan Long continued to disregard Zhao Feng. Thus, it was Yuan Long who had suffered the greatest shock from Zhao Feng''s meteoric rise.


    But none of this had beaten him down. On the contrary, these events had encouraged him to press forward, and he had just recently broken into Rank Six.


    "Wind Shatter!" Yuan Long''s eyes shone with resolve as he activated his bloodline power and unleashed his strongest combat skill.


    Hwoooo!


    Icy storms appeared around Zhao Feng, the storms spinning faster and faster and producing deafening howls.


    "Yuan Long has made quite some progress." Ancient God Floating Spirit was watching everything from nearby. After all, his two disciples were participating in this contest.


    Zhao Feng had his usual expression as he slowly raised his palm and waved at the icy storms. A powerful Wind Lightning energy instantly tore at his surroundings.


    Cling! Crack!


    Yuan Long''s ice storm was like a fierce gale meeting a tornado ¨C it was instantly extinguished.


    "I''ve lost!" Yuan Long jumped off the stage.


    Zhao Feng didn''t say anything, instead turning his gaze to the Rank Four True God stage.


    This stage had the most people gathered around it, almost the same number as the rest of the three stages added together. This was because Rank Four Quasi-Gods were also in this group.


    One of the people standing on the stage at this time was Zhao Yufei.


    Her opponent was an experienced Rank Four True God, but Zhao Yufei was the one with the upper hand.


    "How strong! Zhao Yufei has once again gotten much stronger!"


    "As expected of the Spiritual Race''s number one female disciple!"


    The nearby disciples were all praising Zhao Yufei''s fighting style.


    "Zhao Yufei, please don''t blame me for fighting for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water!" the gray-clothed man standing across from Zhao Yufei suddenly said with a smile.


    Swish!


    Two swords appeared in his hands, each once far above ordinary average-quality divine weapons. Moreover, these swords had the respective traits of ice and fire. When used together, they could exhibit incredible power.


    Zhao Yufei didn''t back up, but actually pressed forward, her body shining with dazzling purple light as her bloodline energy swelled.


    "What''s going on?" The gray-clothed man was able to resist Zhao Yufei''s bloodline just moments ago, but now his blood was seething and his Divine Power was going out of control.


    "What a powerful Spiritual Race bloodline. Her strength might have already reached Rank Five Quasi-God!" The crowd was almost completely entranced by Zhao Yufei''s battle.


    "Yufei has made a lot of progress!" Zhao Feng was amazed.


    He could tell through his left eye that Zhao Yufei truly had reached the level of Rank Five Quasi-God.


    The Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race were also carefully observing Zhao Yufei''s battle.


    "Her Spiritual Race blood has become even purer!"


    "She''s a Rank Five Quasi-God! She''s now surpassed the strongest Quasi-God of the Spiritual Race!"


    The Ancient God upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race were all elated.


    Although Zhao Feng had amazing talent, he still didn''t have the Spiritual Race bloodline. In fact, his bloodline wasn''t even worth a glance from the Spiritual Race. But Zhao Yufei was different. She was a member of the Spiritual Race!


    "It seems that it was actually my two disciples that benefited the most from Zhao Feng''s arrival!" Ancient God Floating Spirit stroked his beard and chuckled.


    Zhao Feng''s arrival had struck a blow to Yuan Long and caused him to diligently cultivate, whereupon he managed to achieve a breakthrough.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Yufei had been concerned for Zhao Feng ever since she arrived, her mind too rife with stray thoughts to diligently cultivate. However, these concerns were no more, and her strength had fallen far behind Zhao Feng''s, so her potential was completely stimulated!

 1278 Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Vein

    Chapter 1278 - Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Vein


    With Zhao Yufei using her full strength, the gray-clothed man slowly lost ground. After fighting for a little longer, the gray-clothed man conceded.


    There was already no doubt that Zhao Yufei was the strongest person competing at the Rank Four True God stage.


    Once the battle was over, Zhao Yufei looked over at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng nodded, and Zhao Yufei immediately revealed a beaming smile.


    With Zhao Yufei''s match over, Zhao Feng took a glance at the battle going on at his stage.


    The one fighting at this time was Zhang Yutong. He appeared to have gotten quite a bit stronger than he was before. Together with his Spiritual Race bloodline, he was one of the more outstanding Rank Six True Gods.


    Half a day passed. The Ancient God stage had the fewest people, so the contest there was already approaching its end.


    "It''s Zhao Feng''s turn again!"


    "His opponent is True God Long Yuan!"


    True God Long Yuan was a peak Rank Six True God with the Spiritual Race bloodline. He was one of the strongest experts at the Rank Six True God stage.


    At this time, the only two people who hadn''t lost yet were True God Long Yuan and Zhao Feng. Thus, this was a highly anticipated match.


    "Please instruct me!" True God Long Yuan seriously said.


    After saying this, he activated his Spiritual Race bloodline. His entire body glimmered with icy light while the pressure of a dominating bloodline swept through the stage.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng immediately blinked next to True God Long Yuan and casually unleashed a palm.


    What incredible speed! True God Long Yuan quickly reacted, using his Divine Power and bloodline to bolster the defense of the area Zhao Feng was attacking and successfully blocking it.


    Zhao Feng didn''t stop though, blinking to another side and once more slapping his palm down.


    Long Yuan was forced into passive defense with no opportunity to attack.


    "Ha!" True God Long Yuan bellowed, pushing his bloodline to its limits so that he could ignore an attack from Zhao Feng and launch a furious assault of his own.


    The crystalline light around him transformed into an enormous ice dragon that charged forward.


    "Heaven-Incinerating Lightning Fire!"


    Zhao Feng converted his Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Divine Power to Fire Tribulation Lightning Divine Power and fired off a palm.


    Brrrooom!


    This palm charged into True God Long Yuan''s attack like a devil of lightning and fire.


    As for Zhao Feng himself, after firing off this palm, he blinked into one of True God Long Yuan''s blind spots and launched a fierce attack.


    Plush!


    True God Long Yuan vomited blood and gradually lost ground. After three more exchanges, he conceded.


    "Even True God Long Yuan lost!"


    "Zhao Feng is extremely fast while his attacks are strong. Not even True God Long Yuan could do anything about it¡­"


    Previously, only Zhao Feng and True God Long Yuan had been undefeated, but now, True God Long Yuan had lost to Zhao Feng.


    In the sky, the authoritative Elders of the Spiritual Race were looking at True God Long Yuan.


    "True God Long Yuan''s talent isn''t bad. At such a young age, he''s already managed to reach Rank Six True God. Alas, Zhao Feng has completely outshone him!"


    "A Spiritual Race disciple of suitable age. Put him on the list!"


    The three Ancient Gods conversed.


    Another round quickly came again. In the next round, Zhao Feng''s opponent jumped onto the stage with a complicated expression on his face.


    "It''s Zhao Feng''s turn again!"


    "His opponent is¡­ Zhang Yutong."


    The chatter around the stage died away.


    Everyone knew that, after Zhao Feng broke into the Heavenly Divine Realm, he had fought with Zhang Yutong, whereupon Zhang Yutong was soundly defeated. But Zhang Yutong was a Spiritual Race genius of the current generation who wielded a great deal of authority. Many of the people on the same level as him treated him with a great deal of apprehension.


    The two participants exchanged no words and directly began to fight.


    He hasn''t even been injured, nor has he used up much energy!


    The moment they clashed, Zhang Yutong understood Zhao Feng''s situation. Afterward, Zhang Yutong gave up on attacking and focused on defending and dodging.


    The Spiritual Race bloodline had extremely formidable defensive properties, and in a situation where his strength was suppressed and he couldn''t use his trump cards, Zhao Feng would find it very hard to overcome this defense.


    After fighting for a while, Zhang Yutong suddenly drew back his energy.


    "I''m no match for you and there are still more battles later on. I need to conserve my strength!" Zhang Yutong voluntarily conceded.


    Zhao Feng was undefeated up to this point, and his opponents had either immediately conceded or conceded after exchanging a few blows with him.


    And even though Zhang Yutong conceded, he had fought the longest with Zhao Feng. In this fashion, he was able to conserve some of his pride. Zhang Yutong had decided on this plan before even stepping onto the stage.


    "Bao Yuan, Zhang Yutong, True God Long Yuan¡­ none of them were a match for Zhao Feng. They couldn''t even wound him!"


    "It seems like Zhao Feng will be first place on our stage!"


    Quite a few Rank Six True God were depressed by this fact. They had all imagined that Zhao Feng would be wounded or tired out after fighting with these powerful Rank Six True Gods. Perhaps Zhao Feng would even lose one or two matches.


    But Zhao Feng had remained utterly unharmed throughout.


    "I concede!" In the next round, Zhao Feng''s opponent was rather weak and conceded without even stepping onto the stage.


    "I might not even need to fight from now on!" Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    "This kid is quite arrogant!" Some Rank Six True Gods were infuriated by Zhao Feng''s words.


    However, the stronger Rank Six True Gods had already lost to Zhao Feng. No one else could be of any threat to Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, the Rank Seven Ancient God matches came to an end.


    "In the Rank Seven Ancient God contest for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water, first place: Ancient God True Sea; second place: Ancient God Ice Origin¡­" an Elder announced the rankings.


    The first place Ancient God True Sea was an Ancient God from several generations ago. He was rather old and had extremely deep reserves. He defeated Ancient God Ice Origin to obtain first place.


    Ancient God Ice Origin wasn''t even over two hundred, but he had defeated all the other Rank Seven Ancient Gods except Ancient God True Sea. Though he was second, he gained far more glory than the person in first place. Everyone believed that Ancient God Ice Origin wouldn''t need very many years to leave first place in the dust.


    With the Ancient God matches over, Zhao Feng began to seriously pay attention to the Rank Six Ancient God matches.


    "First place is me while second place should be True God Long Yuan."


    Originally, there was no guarantee to how the match between Bao Yuan and True God Long Yuan would turn out. But Bao Yuan had been wounded in the first battle with Zhao Feng, and his worsened condition caused him to lose to True God Long Yuan.


    After Bao Yuan fought with True God Long Yuan, he then fought with Zhang Yutong and was once more defeated. In short, Bao Yuan had bad luck on this day. The first battle with Zhao Feng had caused him to be in poor condition for the rest of the matches.


    "He''s actually undefeated?" Ancient God Ice Origin looked at the Rank Six True God stage, his expression icy and gloomy.


    Although he had fought on a different stage from Zhao Feng, he still lost a match. The fact that Zhao Feng was completely undefeated left Ancient God Ice Origin very uncomfortable.


    This kid is very strong. I have to defeat him in a battle before he becomes an Ancient God! Jin Kun''s eyes flashed with sharp light as he made his plans.


    Zhao Feng had defeated almost all the Rank Six True Gods of the Spiritual Race. If Jin Kun challenged Zhao Feng to a battle in this situation, his loss wouldn''t be that shameful.


    "I concede!" On this round, Zhao Feng''s opponent, a gray-skinned youth, directly conceded.


    "Hmph, conceding without a fight, what use are you!?" Ancient God Ice Origin coldly jeered from the crowd of Rank Seven Ancient Gods.


    "My apologies." The gray-skinned youth trembled as he lowered his head and vanished into the crowd.


    The Rank Six True God matches were soon concluded.


    "In the Rank Six True God contest for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water, first place: Zhao Feng; second place: True God Long Yuan; third place: Zhang Yutong¡­"


    When the results were announced, they still created an uproar.


    "As expected, Zhao Feng is the strongest of his rank!"


    "Perhaps once Zhao Feng breaks into Rank Seven, he''ll be the strongest Rank Seven Ancient God of the Spiritual Race!"


    The disciples of the Spiritual Race felt all manner of emotions about this.


    The contest for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water continued. The Rank Five True God and Rank Four True God contests ended soon after.


    "The contest for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water is over. I now have an important matter to announce!"


    The Ancient God Elder suddenly spoke, his loud and bright voice echoing through the heavens. Everyone on the plaza turned solemn and respectful. The Elder had mentioned this before the start of the contest.


    "Everyone knows that, two hundred years ago, a Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein was discovered on the border between the Spiritual Race and the Blazing Gold Race. For this vein, the Spiritual Race has had no small number of conflicts with the Blazing Gold Race, even a war¡­" the Spiritual Race Ancient God began to solemnly speak.


    The Spiritual Race disciples slowly began to realize what was going on.


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had many unique kinds of terrains and environments that could produce ore veins besides just God Crystal veins. This Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein had originally been a high-quality God Crystal vein, but because it had fused with powerful Fire Intent, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and Divine Power contained within this vein were far purer than that of a high-quality God Crystal vein.


    Besides that, the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stones produced by this vein were cultivation treasures to practitioners of the Flame Dao. They could both advance their cultivation and the level of their Intent.


    This vein just so happened to be on the border of the two five-star factions. These factions were already enemies, and since this vein could decide the future of one side, the two factions had engaged in countless conflicts and battles over it.


    "A while ago, the two races decided to determine the ownership of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein according to a gambling match!"


    After the Ancient God Elder said this, he swept his eyes over the young disciples below.


    "A gambling match?" Ancient God Ice Origin''s eyes flashed.


    "Both races will send ten young disciples to duel against each other. The final result will be used to determine who owns the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein. Thus, I will select ten of you to participate in this gambling match. When the time comes, for each opponent you defeat, you will be granted twenty thousand contribution points. Besides this, if we obtain the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein, the participants will gain an extra reward of Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stones," the Ancient God Elder explained.


    "Twenty thousand contribution points! Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stones!"


    The countless disciples immediately began to chatter among themselves, their eyes bursting with golden light.


    Twenty thousand contribution points was an astronomical number to Rank Four True Gods, nigh unachievable. Even the Rank Seven Ancient Gods found it hard to resist the allure of twenty thousand contribution points.


    "If I defeat two, I''ll get forty thousand, sixty thousand if I defeat three. And there''s even Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stones¡­." Ancient God Ice Origin showed a rare look of excitement on his face.


    "Contribution points!" Zhao Feng''s eyes also shone with interest.


    At present, his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body had been both cultivated to the peak. He urgently needed an Ancient God level technique, perhaps even a technique that he could cultivate until the God Lord level. Otherwise, his cultivation would be halted at Rank Seven Ancient God.


    If he wanted to obtain a technique from the Spiritual Race, the most direct method was exchanging for one using contribution points.


    And besides the contribution points, there was also the reward of Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stones. Each Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stone was essentially equivalent to a high-quality God Crystal, and it was also extremely valuable to Flame Dao cultivators.

 1279 Gambling Match Between Two Races

    Chapter 1279 - Gambling Match Between Two Races


    "All of you shouldn''t get too ahead of yourselves. There are only ten spots, and there is another restriction. One''s age cannot be over two hundred!" The Spiritual Race Ancient God Elder once more emphasized that there were only ten spots and also revealed another limit.


    These words made the many Spiritual Race disciples down below either shake their heads or become indignant.


    To True God experts, centuries could go by in the blink of an eye. Many of the Rank Four True Gods present had long ago passed two hundred years of age.


    There was no limit to cultivation in this gambling match, but a limitation of age! The majority of the crowd had not expected this.


    "I''m too old!" The Rank Seven Ancient God who had achieved first place, Ancient God True Sea, gave a helpless laugh.


    Among all the Ancient Gods, he was probably the very oldest. Although he had managed to get first place in the contest for the Spiritual Race, he had no luck when it came to this gambling match.


    "I didn''t think that there would be a restriction like this." When Ancient God Ice Origin heard of this restriction, his eyes shone with even brighter light.


    He just so happened to be one hundred and ninety years old. Moreover, many of the older generation of Ancient Gods were no match for him. In addition, based on what he knew, he was the only Ancient God of the Spiritual Race whose age did not exceed two hundred.


    It seems like the ten people on the other side of this gambling match will all be defeated by me!


    Ancient God Ice Origin coldly chuckled to himself. This gambling match would be his personal stage.


    The younger disciples present breathed a slight sigh of relief. The age limit of two hundred years immediately ruled out many of the best experts while leaving the rest of them a sliver of hope.


    But at this moment, the clouds overhead roiled and a timeworn voice spoke; "This old man was observing the Pure Spirit Sacred Water contest just now and has already determined five spots."


    As the voice spoke, a massive illusion of an old man condensed in the sky.


    Everyone immediately looked up at this image. A minority of core disciples and the Ancient God Elders were the only ones to recognize this figure as the Fifth Elder of the Spiritual Race.


    His words immediately had the crowd in an uproar. It turned out that the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race had been observing the Pure Spirit Sacred Water contest and had already selected some candidates. Five of the spots had already been filled, leaving only five spots for the rest of them.


    "Ancient God Ice Origin, True God Long Yuan, Zhao Feng, Zhang Yutong, Bao Yuan; these five people can directly participate in the gambling match between the two races. Do any of you object?" The Elder''s face exuded boundless majesty.


    "No!" Those people who had been selected naturally would not reject such an excellent opportunity.


    "Anyone can compete for the remaining five spots!" the Spiritual Race Fifth Elder continued.


    "Elder, I will go back and prepare for the gambling match," Ancient God Ice Origin proudly said.


    His words immediately garnered the attention of the crowd.


    "It seems like Ancient God Ice Origin is the only Ancient God less than two hundred years old!"


    "The strongest person in this gambling match will probably him. He is certain to bring great glory to the Spiritual Race!"


    The Spiritual Race disciples couldn''t hide their admiration and envy as they looked at Ancient God Ice Origin.


    "You may go. If there is anything that you do not understand, seek guidance from a Spiritual Race Elder," the Elder in the sky amiably said.


    Of the Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race, only Ancient God Ice Origin had the right to take part in the gambling match. Ancient God Ice Origin''s strength was also top-class. The Spiritual Race had high hopes in him.


    Zhao Feng and the other three chosen soon left as well. After all, they were also taking part in the gambling match. Their opponents would be the ten strongest people the Blazing Gold Race could send.


    There were still two months until the gambling match. They all wanted to increase their strength a little so that they could put on a better performance.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei caught up to Zhao Feng so that they could leave together.


    Although the gambling match had an age restriction, it had no cultivation restriction. The five remaining spots would probably be mostly taken by Rank Six True Gods. On the other hand, Zhao Yufei had only just reached the level of Rank Five Quasi-God, so she naturally had no hope of getting a spot.


    Once these people were gone, the central plaza once more began to buzz with activity. With the contest for Pure Spirit Sacred Water over, it was now time to vie for the spots on the team that would take part in the gambling match between the two races.


    The gambling match was set for two months later. If Zhao Feng spent this time in the Spacetime Robe Dimension, he would have five to six hundred days to cultivate.


    Swish!


    When he appeared in the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Wang and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were both in the middle of cultivating.


    By now, Zhao Wang had also reached the level of Rank Five Quasi-God. Zhao Feng sent Zhao Wang to the Ancient Dream Realm and arranged an area for him to break through.


    A few days later, someone from the Spiritual Race delivered the Pure Spirit Sacred Water.


    "This is the Pure Spirit Sacred Water?" Zhao Feng carefully examined the transparent glass bottle in his hand. A light blue liquid slowly flowed through the bottle.


    Without another word, Zhao Feng entered seclusion.


    Pure Spirit Sacred Water had the greatest effect when taken after a breakthrough, and it had been some time since he had become an Ancient God. But before he used it, he still needed to duplicate it.


    One day later, the duplication finished, and Zhao Feng began to cultivate.


    Gulp!


    After taking the Pure Spirit Sacred Water, Zhao Feng immediately felt an icy liquid surging through his blood and spreading through his body. In the end, this clear stream of energy gathered at his Divine Stages.


    Twenty days later, the energy around Zhao Feng''s body slowly began to recede. At this moment, not even Ancient Gods of the same level would be able to perceive Zhao Feng''s true cultivation level. This was proof that Zhao Feng''s Divine Stages had been completely stabilized and their energy perfectly fused. Zhao Feng now had complete control over this power.


    "The effects are amazing!"


    The effects of the Pure Spirit Sacred Water far surpassed Zhao Feng''s expectations.


    He also discovered that his body was covered in a layer of dark red filth.


    "This should be the impurities the Pure Spirit Sacred Water expelled from my blood while purifying the divine body." A pensive look appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    Normally, after reaching the True God level, the divine body wouldn''t have this many impurities.


    And yet, Zhao Feng had expelled so much. The problem was clearly with his bloodline.


    "It seems like I wasn''t being careful enough while strengthening my bloodline." Zhao Feng suddenly understood.


    His bloodline had originally been extremely low-level, but now it was within the top thousand of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. This was a massive discrepancy. In this process, his blood had many impurities that were not able to be refined, and they were now expelled.


    "With these impurities expelled, my bloodline should rapidly get stronger!" Zhao Feng was elated.


    He had experienced the effects of the Pure Spirit Sacred Water. With his duplication ability, he was completely capable of mass producing it. Of course, he couldn''t let this matter get out.


    After finishing with the Pure Spirit Sacred Water, Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm.


    At this time, Zhao Wang was in the middle of breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm. He had just finished condensing his first Divine Stage. Now that Zhao Feng''s control over the Ancient Dream Realm had increased so much, there were no phenomena to be seen in the outside world.


    After getting some more blood from the Blood Flame Qilin Race, Zhao Feng left.


    In the Spacetime Robe''s dimension, Zhao Feng activated his Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline and continued to refine his bloodline.


    "With the impurities expelled, the effects of refining are even better!" Zhao Feng had a joyful look on his face.


    After two months, Zhao Feng''s Ancient Blood Devil Sun bloodline had squeezed into the top five hundred of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. This was an astonishing pace that left Zhao Feng pleasantly surprised.


    Afterward, Zhao Feng began to comprehend various Intents as well as learn another spatial secret skill: Spatial Shift.


    Spatial Shift shared the same nature as Instant Movement, but Spatial Shift placed even more emphasis on distance, maximizing the distance one could travel. One Instant Movement could cover several hundred thousand li, but a Spatial Shift could cover one million li at the minimum ¨C the equivalent of one teleportation array in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Spatial Shift had very high requirements. One had to have at least Level Six Space Intent.


    Zhao Feng currently had Level Five Space Intent, but that was boosted to Level Six with the help of the Spacetime Robe. This was enough to meet the standards of Spatial Shift.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng could only grasp the essentials of Spatial Shift, which he imitated and conjectured on in his mind.


    Zhao Feng spent more than five hundred days in the Spacetime Robe before finally leaving.


    At this time, the only people present in the central plaza were several powerful Spiritual Race Elders and the young disciples taking part in the gambling match.


    "Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder!" Zhao Feng was astonished.


    The Spiritual Race was sending these two powerful experts to lead the group. It appeared that he had underestimated the importance of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein to the Spiritual Race.


    Zhao Feng then began to observe the other members of the gambling match team. The people who were selected first had clearly become much stronger.


    "Hurry up!" Ancient God Ice Origin glared at Zhao Feng, his brow creased in displeasure.


    As the youngest Ancient God genius of the Spiritual Race, he was the ace for this gambling match. In addition, Ancient God Ice Origin felt some envy and hostility toward Zhao Feng, who had directly attained Rank Six.


    This was not merely because Zhao Feng had shown terrifying potential through this feat, but also because Zhao Yufei, whom Ice Origin had been so arduously pursuing, had thrown herself into Zhao Feng''s chest.


    Zhao Feng ignored him and joined the crowd. A few moments later, everyone had arrived.


    "Elder, we can leave now!" Ancient God Ice Origin walked to the front of the group, acting like he was the captain of the squad.


    "Mm!" The Spiritual Race Fourth Elder nodded.


    Swish!


    A moment later, a magnificent blue and white warship appeared in the sky. The group immediately boarded the ship and set off.


    Thwish!


    The blue and white warship activated a defensive barrier before transforming into a streak of light.


    "This gambling match is extremely important. All of you must do your very best!" the Fourth Elder reminded everyone.


    The Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein itself was extremely valuable, but the honor of both races was also on the line. This match would even influence the future situation between the two races. This vein was more useful to the Blazing Gold Race; if they got their hands on the vein, they could surpass the Spiritual Race within one thousand years.


    The participants nodded their heads. In these two months, they had received personal training from the Elders of the Spiritual Race, and their divine artifacts had also been upgraded and improved at enormous expense.


    "Now, I will inform you all of the rules to this gambling match¡­."


    For this gambling match, each race would send ten people that would be sent out in rotation. When all ten people of one side had been defeated, the battle would be over, and the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein would be divided based on the number of victories.


    "After each battle, you can choose to continue fighting or rest. Of course, I advise all of you to not continue fighting, because once your condition is poor, you could suffer from a challenge by the Blazing Gold Race. You can refuse the first time, but on the second challenge, you must fight!" the Fourth Elder solemnly said.


    "Elder, be at ease. Based on what I know, only Ancient God Gold Fury fulfills the requirements for this match on the Blazing Gold Race side, and he''s no match for me!" Ancient God Ice Origin gave a confident smile.


    This gambling match was the moment for him to spread his reputation across the Ziling Zone. Ancient God Ice Origin was determined to win!

    "Elder, be at ease. Based on what I know, only Ancient God Gold Fury fulfills the requirements for this match on the Blazing Gold Race side, and he''s no match for me!" Ancient God Ice Origin gave a confident smile.


    He had fought with Ancient God Gold Fury several times. Ancient God Gold Fury''s strength was beneath his.


    The Spiritual Race Elders gave a slight nod. Based on what they knew, the situation truly was as Ancient God Ice Origin described.


    However, it was the Blazing Gold Race that had proposed this gambling match, as well as the age restriction of two hundred years. Thus, the upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race were somewhat uneasy. Even if the Spiritual Race appeared to have the advantage, the Spiritual Race Elders would not be careless in the slightest. They had chosen their very best and even assisted them in improving their strength.

    "Do you dare fight a battle with me?" The woman from the Blazing Gold Race proudly stood on the stage and pointed at one of the members from the Spiritual Race.


    "True God Long Yuan!"


    The person this fiery woman chose was none other than True God Long Yuan, who had just experienced a major fight.


    True God Long Yuan was a peak Rank Six expert. His strength was certainly far above this fiery woman''s. However, True God Long Yuan was currently covered in wounds and exhausted. In this state, he was naturally no match for her.


    For the sake of the greater situation, True God Long Yuan refused this challenge and chose to rest.

    "Now, if Ancient God Ice Origin gets out there and defeats someone, the Blazing Gold Race will have lost four matches!"


    The spectating factions were all abuzz with chatter and surprise.


    No one had expected this development, and the main source of their shock was none other than the legendary genius who had directly attained Rank Six.

 1283 Despair

    Chapter 1283 - Despair


    "The Blazing Gold Race''s Ancient God Gilded Gold is challenging Ancient God Ice Origin immediately after fighting with Bao Yuan!"


    "Ancient God Ice Origin is a very strong existence among the Rank Seven Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race, but I''ve never heard of this Ancient God Gilded Gold."


    The spectators were all completely stunned by this challenge.


    Ancient God Ice Origin, who was just telling Zhao Feng what to do, was also dumbfounded. He was even wondering if his ears were playing tricks on him.


    Someone directly challenged him, and this challenger was doing so after fighting with the peak Rank Six Bao Yuan. Even if this person wanted to fight him, he should have at least rested so that he could fight with full power.


    It seems like the Blazing Gold Race is so sure of their victory with two Ancient Gods that they would actually challenge me right away, Ancient God Ice Origin speculated. This could be an opportunity for him, but Ancient God Ice Origin still needed to see what the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race had to say.


    "Go!"


    Although the upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race felt that something was wrong, they could only send Ancient God Ice Origin. After all, the one being challenged was the strongest fighter on the Spiritual Race''s side. If they did not accept this battle, they would become the laughingstock of the Ziling Zone.


    The Spiritual Race Elders thought that the Blazing Gold Race was just planning to use Ancient God Gilded Gold to wound Ancient God Ice Origin. They would then send Ancient God Gold Fury to defeat Ancient God Ice Origin and clinch the victory.


    "They have two Ancient Gods. Ancient God Ice Origin will have to fight them in a row no matter what!" the Spiritual Race Fifth Elder sighed.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Ice Origin jumped onto the fighting stage.


    "And here I thought that you wouldn''t dare." Ancient God Gilded Gold sneered, excitement surging in his eyes.


    "Since I''ve come up, I''ll immediately send you down!" Ancient God Ice Origin proudly retorted.


    In his eyes, Ancient God Gilded Gold was definitely weaker than him. Besides that, Ancient God Gilded Gold had just finished a battle with Bao Yuan.


    "Then let me see if you have that right!" As Ancient God Gilded Gold roared, his aura began to swell, the dark golden flames engulfing his body and transforming him into a war god of fire.


    "You will see!" Ancient God Ice Origin''s eyes turned cold as he slowly activated his Spiritual Race bloodline. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi around him instantly turned into an icy mist.


    At this moment, Ancient God Ice Origin seemed to be one with the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, his every move infused with massive power.


    Shwooom!


    With a wave of his hand, the icy crystals condensed into a serpentine dragon that charged at Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    "Golden Light Sacred Body!" Ancient God Gilded Gold activated his unique physical body. Dazzling tattoos of flame appeared on his body while searing physical energy swept through the area.


    Dingding! Bang!


    Ancient God Gilded Gold used his formidable body to resist Ancient God Ice Origin''s attack, but he was forced back several steps, and many scratches were left on his dark golden body.


    "That''s all there is to you!" Ancient God Ice Origin''s eyes twinkled with light as he began to exert even more of his bloodline power.


    The entire stage began to gleam with icy crystals as a heavy pressure descended upon Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    Ancient God Gilded Gold felt like the entire world was against him, and he slowly began to sense danger.


    "So strong! Ancient God Ice Origin has already reached this level? Ancient God Gilded Gold won''t be able to last for long!"


    "But it won''t be easy for Ancient God Ice Origin to defeat Ancient God Gilded Gold. Moreover, he''ll have to face Ancient God Gold Fury right after¡­."


    The spectators commented as they carefully observed this match.


    "Ancient God Gold Fury, do you know how Ancient God Gilded Gold was able to become so powerful so quickly?" True God Tian Qian couldn''t help but ask.


    Thirty years ago, Ancient God Gilded Gold was just True God Gilded Gold, an ordinary True God of the Blazing Gold Race. Some of the Rank Seven Ancient Gods of the Blazing Gold Race didn''t even know who he was.


    "Thirty years ago, True God Gilded Gold was traveling the world to hone himself and try to break through into the Ancient God ranks and shine within the Blazing Gold Race. His luck wasn''t bad, as he accidentally came upon a ruin¡­." Ancient God Gold Fury messaged.


    "Could it be because of that ruin?" True God Tian Qian appeared rather excited.


    "It truly was, but as for what was in that ruin and what he encountered, only the upper echelon of the Blazing Gold Race knows!"


    Ancient God Gold Fury also didn''t know the full story. Regardless, that ruin was definitely not normal because it turned True God Gilded Gold from an ordinary disciple into one of the best Ancient Gods of the Blazing Gold Race.


    Ancient God Gilded Gold had returned right when the Blazing Gold Race was fighting with the Spiritual Race over the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein. Thus, the Blazing Gold Race proposed this gambling match while imposing a complete blackout on any news of Ancient God Gilded Gold so that he could serve as their ace. Only the disciples taking part were able to notice through a few details that Ancient God Gilded Gold was the ace of this gambling match.


    "But it seems like Ancient God Gilded Gold isn''t a match for Ancient God Ice Origin." True God Tian Qian smiled.


    In his view, Ancient God Gilded Gold wasn''t that formidable. It was just that he appeared when the Blazing Gold Race needed him and thus received the favor of the upper echelon.


    "Hah, Ancient God Gilded Gold is just playing with Ancient God Ice Origin. His true strength is far greater than Ancient God Ice Origin''s!" Ancient God Gold Fury chuckled before messaging back.


    Before the gambling match, the upper echelon of the Blazing Gold Race had arranged for him to fight with Ancient God Gilded Gold, so he had a deep understanding of Ancient God Gilded Gold''s strength.


    "Is that so?" True God Tian Qian had a look of disbelief.


    At this moment, a heaven-shaking physical power mixed with tyrannical golden flames exploded outward.


    Kabooom!


    Dark golden flames madly clashed with icy crystals. In the end, all the power that Ancient God Ice Origin had condensed from activating his bloodline was destroyed by Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    "Your strength¡­!" Ancient God Ice Origin suddenly became dejected.


    At this moment, Ancient God Gilded Gold was exuding a level of power that was completely on par with his.


    "What''s going on? How could Ancient God Gilded Gold be this strong?"


    "So Ancient God Gilded Gold was hiding his strength the entire time! This is the Blazing Gold Race''s true ace card. It seems like the Spiritual Race is looking at a wretched defeat!"


    Cries of alarm and sighs of praise resounded in the ears of the people from the Spiritual Race.


    The disciples of the Spiritual Race had expressions of rage and reluctance, but there was nothing they could do.


    The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race all had nasty grimaces. From the current situation, it would be very difficult for them to get even ten percent of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein today.


    "Didn''t you say that you would send me off the stage?" Ancient God Gilded Gold spoke with a threatening tone and a ruthless gaze.


    "Cut the small talk!" With a gloomy look on his face, Ancient God Ice Origin immediately summoned a sword of ice that began to exude a chill through the surroundings.


    "Ice Crystal Celestial Slash!" Ancient God Ice Origin raised the sword, and a stream of chilling Divine Power shot out.


    Ancient God Ice Origin could no longer hold back. He had taken out his high-quality divine weapon and used one of his supreme skills.


    Thwish!


    A massive ice crystal sword shot across the stage toward Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    Ancient God Gilded Gold grimaced. Even before the slash arrived, he could already feel a stabbing chill on his chest.


    Swish!


    A simple stone ax of dark yellow appeared in his hand. The appearance of this stone ax made the air tremble. A simple yet heavy energy swept through the area.


    Wielding the ax, Ancient God Gilded Gold shot into the air, slashing out several waves of majestic golden flame.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Ancient God Gilded Gold destroyed the ice sword slash approaching him inch by inch and even succeeded in forcing Ancient God Ice Origin back.


    He actually blocked it!? Ancient God Ice Origin was quite stunned by this sight.


    As Ancient God Gilded Gold approached, Ice Origin sensed that the high-quality divine weapon in his opponent''s hand was of slightly higher quality than his.


    "Ice Crystal Heaven-Defying Style!" Ice Origin used another powerful sword skill as he entered into a fierce battle with Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    However, the spectators could already see that Ancient God Ice Origin was slightly weaker than Ancient God Gilded Gold. If things continued as expected, Ancient God Gilded Gold would eventually win.


    Even if Ancient God Ice Origin still had other moves that could reverse the situation, he wouldn''t have the strength to fight anyone else, and the Spiritual Race would still lose.


    Boom!


    At this moment, Ancient God Gilded Gold unleashed a golden ax image that could shake the heavens.


    "Crystal Spirit Liquefaction!" In the face of such a powerful attack, Ancient God Ice Origin could only use a secret technique of the Spiritual Race. His transparent body of ice suddenly began to ripple like water.


    Kacha!


    The golden ax image directly struck Ancient God Ice Origin, creating a massive wound.


    When the golden ax faded, the massive wound on Ancient God Ice Origin''s body immediately healed.


    Plush!


    After using his secret technique to dodge this powerful attack, Ancient God Ice Origin spat out blood and began to counterattack.


    Hwooom!


    Several massive shards of ice shot forward.


    Ancient God Gilded Gold didn''t have the strength to dodge after using his supreme technique and was struck directly by these massive shards of ice. However, his injuries were far less severe than Ancient God Ice Origin''s.


    He actually blocked it!? Ancient God Gilded Gold was rather shocked.


    In the end, the Spiritual Race bloodline was still ranked above the Blazing Gold Race bloodline. In addition, the bloodline had a trait that allowed it to neutralize a fatal attack a single time.


    "In that case, I''ll use this technique to defeat you!" A hint of madness appeared on Ancient God Gilded Gold''s face.


    A dazzling golden light shot out of Ancient God Gilded Gold''s body and fused with the dark yellow stone ax.


    Whoosh!


    The golden flames blazing on the stone ax suddenly increased, and the weapon began to exude Destruction Intent that could annihilate all.


    "Destruction Intent!" Ancient God Ice Origin''s body trembled, and fear appeared in his eyes.


    The already powerful Ancient God Gilded Gold suddenly displayed another powerful strength. This attack had twice the power of Ancient God Gilded Gold''s first supreme skill.


    Ancient God Ice Origin was heavily injured, and his bloodline power weak. He could not use the secret technique a second time.


    "Ice Crystal Heaven-Defying Style!" Ancient God Ice Origin ignited the last of his Divine Power and bloodline and poured it into this move.


    But he had barely fired off this move when Ancient God Gilded Gold shattered it. The rest of the Destruction Intent struck Ancient God Ice Origin.


    Thwish!


    In a flash of golden light, Ancient God Gilded Gold''s ax threw Ancient God Ice Origin from the stage.


    The battle was over. Ancient God Ice Origin was defeated!


    "Ancient God Ice Origin lost!" True God Long Yuan immediately paled.


    The rest of the Spiritual Race fighters also became depressed. Ancient God Ice Origin lost badly while the Blazing Gold Race''s Ancient God Gold Fury was still waiting in the wings. They had already completely lost this gambling match.


    A cloud of despair engulfed the Spiritual Race group.


    "The Blazing Gold Race, victory!" After a while, the elder from the Life Sacred Land finally announced.


    But before the spectators could even make their comments, Ancient God Gilded Gold''s tyrannical voice resounded over the stage; "Is this the strongest person the Spiritual Race sent? He wasn''t any big deal. Just me alone is enough to sweep over the rest of you!"


    Ancient God Gilded Gold stood on the stage with a haughty look, his tone completely unbridled as he scanned the remaining fighters of the Spiritual Race with scornful eyes.

 1284 Defeat After Miserable Defea

    Chapter 1284 - Defeat After Miserable Defeat


    "Is this the strongest person the Spiritual Race sent? He wasn''t any big deal. Just me alone is enough to sweep over the rest of you!"


    Ancient God Gilded Gold looked at the Spiritual Race party and spoke with extreme arrogance.


    The rest of the Spiritual Race fighters trembled in rage and unwillingness, but they could only lower their heads.


    Ancient God Gilded Gold had defeated Ancient God Ice Origin and thus completely crushed their confidence. Moreover, the Blazing Gold Race still had Ancient God Gold Fury in reserve. Besides that, they also had five more Rank Six True Gods.


    If the Blazing Gold Race''s two Ancient Gods took turns going out, it could easily limit its losses to five. If that was the case, the Spiritual Race wouldn''t even get ten percent of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein.


    I lost! Ancient God Ice Origin slowly returned to the Spiritual Race''s platform, an expression of gloom on his face.


    He originally planned on using this gambling match to bolster his reputation. He never predicted that he would be defeated in his first match.


    "Blazing Gold Race, for the sake of victory, you''re truly willing to resort to any means!" the Spiritual Race Fifth Elder softly growled.


    The Blazing Gold Race had proposed this gambling match where the Spiritual Race apparently held the advantage, but the Blazing Gold Race was hiding an ace that could completely reverse the situation.


    To that end, the Blazing Gold Race had sealed off any news about the matter and even used special methods to conceal Ancient God Gilded Gold''s true cultivation level. They had truly gone to great pains.


    "That''s not right. The Blazing Gold Race has always been a gathering of experts and disciples of prodigious strength. We''ve always relied on our true abilities. It''s just that the disciples of the Spiritual Race are inferior. How can you make such malicious accusations?" Elder Jin of the Blazing Gold Race had a red glow to his face as he heartily laughed.


    This time, the Blazing Gold Race had dealt the Spiritual Race a savage blow in front of the many factions of the Ziling Zone. The sight of the furious and stifled looks on the people of the Spiritual Race was an absolute joy to Elder Jin.


    "You¡­!" The Spiritual Race Fifth Elder trembled in rage, but in the end, Ancient God Ice Origin had lost, and his words were incapable of changing that.


    "The gambling match is still not over. Let us continue!" Elder Jin smugly looked at the Spiritual Race Elders.


    If the gambling match continued, the Spiritual Race would only endure more suffering and humiliation. This was exactly what he wanted to see.


    "The gambling match¡­" The Elders of the Spiritual Race had complicated expressions on their faces as they clearly struggled over what to do.


    "There''s still hope!" the Spiritual Race Fourth Elder messaged all the members of the Spiritual Race group.


    "We have eight members as well as an opportunity to issue a challenge. As long as we can defeat three Rank Six Gods of the Blazing Gold Race, we can still get a share of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein!" The Fourth Elder''s deep voice rang out in everyone''s minds.


    The Blazing Gold Race had seven members left. If they could bring that number below five, the Spiritual Race still had a chance of getting ten percent of the vein.


    The rest of the Spiritual Race Elders calmed down a little. If they just conceded, the Spiritual Race would lose all its dignity. Moreover, even one percent was better than nothing!


    "If all of you can defeat three members of the Blazing Gold Race, each person will get ten thousand contribution points, and a disciple who defeats a Blazing Gold Race disciple will receive forty thousand contribution points!" the Fourth Elder continued, seeing that the Spiritual Race disciples were still very downcast.


    The rest of the Spiritual Race fighters instantly brightened up. If they defeated three Rank Six True Gods, everyone would get contribution points, and anyone who defeated someone from the Blazing Gold Race would get forty thousand.


    "The gambling match continues!" the wrinkled elder of the Life Sacred Land announced.


    "Haha, how stubborn!" Elder Jin of the Blazing Gold Race chortled.


    He naturally understood that the Spiritual Race wanted to try to defeat three Rank Six True Gods of the Blazing Gold Race. By doing so, the Spiritual Race could still get ten percent of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein.


    "Okay! If you want to fight, then I''ll keep you company!" On the fighting stage, Ancient God Gilded Gold gave a savage smile. It was obvious that Ancient God Gilded Gold had no intentions of resting after defeating Ancient God Ice Origin.


    The seven remaining fighters of the Spiritual Race became somewhat gloomy. Ancient God Gilded Gold had exhausted himself in his battle with Ancient God Ice Origin and was covered in wounds, but he still had the strength to overcome Rank Six True Gods. All of them understood that, if Ancient God Gilded Gold challenged them, they would assuredly lose.


    "Ancient God Gilded Gold, leave Zhao Feng for last!" Elder Jin messaged Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    Zhao Feng had only just recently occupied the limelight, so he wanted Zhao Feng to endure even more suffering and pressure than the other members of his team.


    "Okay." Ancient God Gilded Gold nodded.


    Although he wanted to deal with Zhao Feng right now, he did not dare defy Elder Jin''s orders.


    "Let''s start from the left!" Ancient God Gilded Gold''s gaze settled on the person standing to the very left.


    This was a white-clothed youth ¨C the weakest person in the Spiritual Race''s team of ten.


    "Fight!" The moment the youth stepped onto the stage, he activated his bloodline and used all the methods at his disposal.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    White crystalline energy flowed across the sky, transforming into countless sharp swords that stabbed at Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    Ancient God Gilded Gold''s expression turned serious, and his body began to surge with fierce golden flames.


    Dingding! Bangbang!


    Ancient God Gilded Gold stood his ground and directly took on the attacks of the white-clothed youth.


    "Get out of here!" Ancient God Gilded Gold charged forward, sending a searing and heavy pressure at the white-clothed youth.


    He flourished his simple stone ax. A massive golden light sent the youth flying off the stage.


    The remaining six members of the Spiritual Race once more became dejected.


    "I didn''t think that he could still exhibit such power after fighting with Ancient God Ice Origin." True God Long Yuan grimaced. Even he didn''t have the confidence to defeat Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    "The next one is you! Get up here!" After defeating one, Ancient God Gilded Gold quickly set his eyes on another member of the Spiritual Race team.


    This youth gathered up his resolve and used every technique he had. This Spiritual Race youth was a little stronger, only losing after exchanging ten blows with Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    The Spiritual Race had now lost four in a row and only had five fighters left!


    The spectators were slowly starting to lose interest. The next battles were bound to be one-sided, and everyone could already see the final result. The Blazing Gold Race would rise through this gambling match while Ancient God Gilded Gold would become known throughout the Ziling Zone.


    "I should still have a chance to get up there!" Ancient God Gold Fury laughed.


    Before the gambling match, he had been regarded as the strongest member of the Blazing Gold Race team, but he hadn''t even had a chance to go up yet.


    Boom! Bang!


    At this moment, another Spiritual Race disciple was sent flying from the stage.


    Ancient God Gilded Gold had won five in a row. The Spiritual Race had lost five in a row!


    None of the Spiritual Race members could keep watching. They wanted nothing more than to leave. Each additional second was another second of torture.


    Only Zhao Feng appeared unaffected. Through the entire process, he only showed a faint ripple of emotion.


    This is great! The Blazing Gold Race still has seven people, which is one hundred and forty thousand contribution points! Zhao Feng found himself rather excited at this prospect.


    One hundred and forty thousand contribution points were more than enough to exchange for a technique in the Spiritual Race.


    "There are four people left. You come up!" Ancient God Gilded Gold pointed at another Spiritual Race disciple.


    Whoosh!


    A broad-faced youth stepped onto the stage.


    "You''re already heavily injured and exhausted, and after fighting so many battles, you''re fatigued to the extreme. Just let me end you!" The broad-faced youth''s strength was above average in the group of ten.


    "Hmph, as I said before, I alone am enough to sweep through you Spiritual Race weaklings!" Ancient God Gilded Gold did appear slightly tired, but his words were as overbearing and arrogant as ever.


    Dingding! Bang!


    After both fighters had spoken their piece, they began to fight.


    The broad-faced youth gripped his divine weapon and burned his Spiritual Race bloodline as he launched a flurry of attacks against Ancient God Gilded Gold. The battle lasted much longer than the others, and Ancient God Gilded Gold did not have as obvious an advantage.


    Suddenly, Ancient God Gilded Gold''s eyes flashed gold as he waved the stone ax in his hand.


    Clingclang!


    The broad-faced youth''s saber was snapped apart by Ancient God Gilded Gold''s attack.


    "My Celestial Wind Sunshatter Saber¡­!" the broad-faced youth cried out in alarm.


    His divine weapon was only of average quality and could not compare to Ancient God Gilded Gold''s high-quality divine weapon.


    Without his divine weapon, the broad-faced youth''s fighting power plunged. In the end, the broad-faced youth was defeated by Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    Ancient God Gilded Gold, six victories in a row!


    The Spiritual Race now had only three people left. The delicate and rather weak girl stepped onto the stage. It took only a few moments for her to be defeated as well.


    Seven victories in a row! The Blazing Gold Race''s Ancient God Gilded Gold had won seven times in a row.


    The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race all had ashen faces. They only had two fighters left. Taking even ten percent of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein from the Blazing Gold Race now seemed almost impossible.


    The Spiritual Race had already lost seven times in a row. They needed to win at least one or they would be completely humiliated!


    "Zhao Feng and True God Long Yuan are stronger than the rest. Ancient God Gilded Gold will choose to rest, and then the Spiritual Race can still win a round!" a Spiritual Race Elder spoke these words with great difficulty.


    "True God Long Yuan, get up here!" But Ancient God Gilded Gold still did not fall back. He continued to challenge, and the one he had challenged was the peak Rank Six True God Long Yuan!


    "Hmph, I''ll definitely defeat you!" True God Long Yuan''s eyes flashed with a ruthless gleam as he flew onto the stage.


    Boom!


    The pressure of the Spiritual Race bloodline exploded outward, and True God Long Yuan gripped a golden spear in his hand that shone with brilliant golden light as it stabbed at Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    "You will still lose!" Ancient God Gilded Gold''s eyes turned stern as he once more used his trump card. A dazzling Destruction Intent energy surged out of his body.


    "Golden Light Shatter!" Ancient God Gilded Gold waved his simple and huge ax, unleashing a Destructive wave of golden flames.


    Boom! Bang!


    True God Long Yuan grimaced in shock and used the Spiritual Race''s secret bloodline technique to avoid a fatal injury. In a flash, True God Long Yuan suffered a severe wound that left him unable to put up a fight. After a few moments of fighting, he was defeated.


    The Spiritual Race only had Zhao Feng left. The rest had all been defeated!


    "True God Long Yuan lost as well!" The Spiritual Race Fifth Elder closed his eyes. He didn''t want to see all this ¨C didn''t want to see the wicked smiles on the faces of the Blazing Gold Race members.


    "Life truly is unpredictable!" The Spiritual Race Fourth Elder lamented. He had also not expected for Ancient God Gilded Gold to be so strong and to have so many moves in reserve that he could win eight matches in a row.


    "Let''s concede," a Spiritual Race Elder said with a suffering look on his face.


    Now that someone had said it, the other Spiritual Race Elders began to agree.


    "Zhao Feng, get back here. Do you plan to continue this humiliation!?" Ancient God Ice Origin was in an awful mood. When he saw that Zhao Feng was still standing out there, he immediately rebuked him.


    With all the Spiritual Race Elders calling to concede, the Fourth Elder finally made up his mind. He suddenly stood up to tell the Life Sacred Land that the Spiritual Race was going to concede.


    But at this moment, a resounding voice interrupted him; "Slow down! It''s my turn to go next!"


    Zhao Feng was in a rather depressed mood. Ancient God Gilded Gold had never challenged him, so he could only wait. But just when he was about to go up, the Spiritual Race upper echelon began to talk about conceding. How could he let that come to pass?


    When everyone heard this, their expressions froze, and then they began to laugh.


    But at this moment, a supreme, heaven-shaking, and majestic energy surged out from Zhao Feng''s body.

 1285 Reigniting Hope

    Chapter 1285 - Reigniting Hope


    As Zhao Feng''s energy soared into the air, everyone around him shut their mouths and stared at him.


    "This is¡­ the energy of an Ancient God''s Divine Stage!"


    "But how? How could Zhao Feng be an Ancient God expert!?"


    After a few moments of silence, the area exploded with cries of shock and doubt.


    Zhao Feng revealing himself as an Ancient God expert was even more surprising than Ancient God Gilded Gold''s abrupt appearance. After all, Ancient God Gilded Gold had been a Rank Six True God for some time. It wasn''t that unusual for him to break through into the Ancient God level. But Zhao Feng was different; he only broke into Rank Six one year ago.


    They had never heard of anyone that was able to go from Rank Six to Rank Seven Ancient God in just one year. This was simply inconceivable.


    "Rank Seven Ancient God!"


    "I must be seeing things!"


    The upper echelon of the Spiritual Race all stood up. At this moment, they felt like they could see a sliver of hope.


    They didn''t think about how Zhao Feng had become an Ancient God, they only hoped that Zhao Feng could salvage this embarrassing situation for the Spiritual Race.


    "Now that Zhao Feng has shown the power of an Ancient God, Ancient God Gilded Gold will definitely choose to rest, meaning that Zhao Feng can pick his opponent¡­." The Fourth Elder began to calculate.


    If Zhao Feng could defeat three True Gods, the Spiritual Race would not fare so badly in this gambling match.


    "He was actually a Rank Seven Ancient God? That''s impossible!" Ancient God Ice Origin shook his head, unable to believe what he was seeing.


    "This kid is actually an Ancient God? How did he manage to do it?" Elder Jin of the Blazing Gold Race was perturbed and suspicious.


    He was no longer thinking about the outcome of this gambling match, but about just how Zhao Feng had managed to reach Rank Seven and just how terrifying he would be in the future.


    This boy must be eliminated! After a long while, Elder Jin''s face suddenly darkened.


    He was once more remembered that the Blazing Gold Race had sent an Ancient God to intercept and kill Zhao Feng. Things looked very grim for this Ancient God now, and it was probably impossible for him to return to the Blazing Gold Race.


    "Interesting!" On the fighting stage, Ancient God Gilded Gold stared at Zhao Feng with great interest.


    "Zhao Feng, if you can defeat three people, the Spiritual Race will give you one hundred and fifty thousand contribution points!" the Fourth Elder directly messaged Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng might have only become an Ancient God recently, and he was probably far weaker than the two Ancient Gods of the Blazing Gold Race.


    "If you give me five hundred thousand contribution points, I will defeat all of them. How about it?" At this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly spoke his request out loud.


    "What!?" Every member of the Spiritual Race was wide-eyed and slack-jawed, seemingly petrified to the ground.


    They were all hoping and praying that Zhao Feng could just defeat three opponents, but Zhao Feng was saying that he could defeat all of them, including the two Ancient Gods.


    The members of the other factions, including the Blazing Gold Race, all had looks of disbelief.


    "Ignorant¡­ laughable!" Ancient God Ice Origin coldly snorted, but inside he was quite upset.


    Originally, he was the trump card of the Spiritual Race ¨C its only hope. But now, Zhao Feng was the Spiritual Race''s hope ¨C its last hope.


    "He''s gone mad!"


    "Even if he''s an Ancient God, can he really fight against seven people in a row?"


    The nearby spectators couldn''t help but shake their heads and laugh. Zhao Feng was overestimating his strength too much.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t be in such a rush. As long as you can defeat three¡­" the Fourth Elder immediately messaged, advising Zhao Feng to be cautious.


    Zhao Feng''s expression darkened while his brow creased. If he said something like that, then he was confident in his chances of bringing it to fruition.


    "Okay, I promise, but you should defeat three people first." The Fourth Elder saw the look on Zhao Feng''s face and decided to agree, though he still added a cautionary reminder.


    "Okay, then let''s begin!" Zhao Feng had no interest in the chatter of the Spiritual Race''s upper echelon, and with a shout, he jumped onto the stage.


    "I will rest for a while, but I''d like to see just how you defeat seven disciples of the Blazing Gold Race!" Ancient God Gilded Gold coldly harrumphed before leaving the stage.


    He dearly wanted to give a lesson to this reckless person, but he knew that, in his current condition, fighting an Ancient God would result in certain defeat.


    "Since you''ve left, it''s my turn to choose someone!" Zhao Feng''s gaze immediately scanned the seven Blazing Gold Race fighters.


    The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race were all extremely agitated. With Zhao Feng''s Ancient God cultivation, he could pick any Rank Six True God and easily defeat them.


    "I pick you ¨C Ancient God Gold Fury." Zhao Feng shot Ancient God Gold Fury an indifferent glance.


    "Ancient God Gold Fury!?" The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race were all dumbfounded and speechless.


    "What¡­? Ancient God Gold Fury!?" Ancient God Gilded Gold, who had just flown off the stage moments ago, almost dropped back down.


    "This kid really doesn''t know his limits. It seems like I won''t get another chance to fight!" Ancient God Gilded Gold growled.


    A person who had just broken into the Ancient God level actually challenged an outstanding and experienced Ancient God. How was this anything but suicidal?


    The crowd was also in an uproar. Everyone believed that Zhao Feng would choose a True God, but he instead went straight for Ancient God Gold Fury. It was like he was trying to be as outrageous as possible.


    "Haha, I didn''t think this would be how I enter the stage!" Ancient God Gold Fury exploded into laughter as he stepped onto the stage.


    He was a spectator for this gambling match the entire time, making him feel rather envious of Ancient God Gilded Gold. Now, he could finally show his strength.


    "Relax, you''ll be going back very quickly." Zhao Feng''s face suddenly turned cold.


    Swish!


    Circulating his Sacred Lightning Body, he transformed into a thunderbolt and shot at Ancient God Gold Fury.


    "Haha, the ignorant will always end up with wretched fates!" Ancient God Gold Fury faintly smiled as he activated his Golden Light Sacred Body. His body was instantly covered in a layer of golden tattoos and seething golden flames.


    "Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain: Water Lightning Sacred Palm!" Zhao Feng released his Tribulation Lightning Domain to suppress Ancient God Gold Fury while also sending out a green-blue palm of lightning.


    Inside the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain, the palm of light was even stronger.


    Ancient God Gold Fury grimaced slightly. Zhao Feng was much stronger than he had expected.


    "Celestial Flame Fist!" Ancient God Gold Fury poured his physical strength and Divine Power into his fist and punched.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two attacks collided, and Ancient God Gold Fury''s attack was the first to shatter.


    "So strong!" Ancient God Gold Fury''s complexion darkened.


    If Zhao Feng was weaker than him, then it wouldn''t matter whether water countered fire because the attack wouldn''t have enough power. He realized that he was still underestimating Zhao Feng''s strength.


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Gold Fury suddenly sensed danger coming from behind him.


    While Ancient God Gold Fury was surprised, Zhao Feng had used his Space Intent to blink behind him and launch a furious assault.


    Kabooom!


    Ancient God Gold Fury used the full strength of his bloodline and physical body, activating his secret defensive techniques to fend off that palm of Water Lightning.


    Thump thump!


    Ancient God Gold Fury had to retreat two steps before he was able to resist the blow, but before he could recover, Zhao Feng blinked to the other side and launched another thunderous attack.


    With his Space Intent, Zhao Feng had the advantage in speed and had the complete initiative in this battle.


    "Ancient God Gold Fury is helpless against him!"


    "He''s skilled in Five Elements Intent and Space Intent! This boy has abnormal comprehension ability!"


    The surrounding spectators couldn''t help but sigh in praise. They had all underestimated Zhao Feng''s strength.


    "How could this be!? It''s Ancient God Gold Fury that''s being suppressed!?" Ancient God Ice Origin''s face was stricken with shock.


    Earlier, everyone believed that Zhao Feng didn''t know the limits of his strength by challenging Ancient God Gold Fury, but now, it was Ancient God Gold Fury who was being suppressed by Zhao Feng.


    "Good!" The upper echelon of the Spiritual Race exclaimed in surprise.


    From the current situation, Zhao Feng was completely capable of defeating Ancient God Gold Fury. After that, he only needed to defeat two True Gods!


    On the stage, Ancient God Gold Fury was completely suppressed.


    "Don''t get too arrogant!" Ancient God Gold Fury suddenly roared, his entire body exploding with golden flames. A powerful physical energy began to fiercely clash with Zhao Feng''s Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain. At the same time, a large black hammer appeared in Ancient God Gold Fury''s hand.


    Kabooom!


    Black flames erupted from the hammer, twisting together with the golden flames on Ancient God Gold Fury''s body.


    "Seven Moves of the Flame Devil!" Ancient God Gold Fury began to wave around the high-quality divine weapon in his hand.


    Hwooom!


    Black and golden flames began to layer over each other, forming a dreadful firestorm. Zhao Feng''s Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain was almost instantly destroyed.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World!" Zhao Feng''s left eye focused on the center of the black and gold firestorm and unleashed a ripple of Eye Intent.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    A dreamy mist began to spread out from his left eye. In the storm, Ancient God Gold Fury couldn''t help but focus on Zhao Feng''s left eye, causing his skill to fall apart.


    "Now is the moment!" Zhao Feng seized the opportunity and condensed the Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Domain into his palm, fusing it with his Divine Power before unleashing a palm.


    This palm approached from an extremely crafty angle, charging in through the weakest point of the black-gold firestorm.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Gold Fury''s body was thrown back several dozen feet.


    Zhao Feng didn''t rest, continuing with several more palms.


    "What a powerful eye-bloodline technique!" The pain allowed Ancient God Gold Fury to break out of Zhao Feng''s illusion art. He immediately got up and looked at Zhao Feng with fear.


    He was actually wearing a defensive soul divine artifact, but he was still entranced by Zhao Feng''s illusion art. Fortunately for him, his physical defenses were extremely formidable, and his wounds were not too severe.


    "Flame Devil Heaven-Destroying Move!" Ancient God Gold Fury gathered up all his energy and used his strongest skill to fend off Zhao Feng''s attacks, unleashing a giant hammer made of black and golden flames.


    "This is¡­ Space Intent!?" Ancient God Gold Fury suddenly sensed a weak ripple of Space Intent on his body.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash!" Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly exploded with Destructive Tribulation Lightning energy. At the same moment, a giant blade made of white lightning cut across Ancient God Gold Fury''s body, causing scorching golden blood to drench the floor.


    "Spatial eye-bloodline technique!?" Ancient God Gold Fury had an extremely unsightly look on his face. He had been guarding against Zhao Feng''s illusory eye-bloodline technique, and he never imagined that Zhao Feng would use an offensive spatial eye-bloodline technique instead.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body suddenly appeared next to Ancient God and unleashed a flurry of attacks. Ancient God Gold Fury had no time to heal the enormous wound on his body before he was once more severely wounded.


    Plush!


    Ancient God Gold Fury vomited several mouthfuls of blood, his fighting power plunged, and he became incapable of defending against Zhao Feng''s attacks.


    Boom! Bang!


    A single palm sent Ancient God Gold Fury flying off the stage.


    "An Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race? He wasn''t any big deal. Just me alone is enough to sweep over the rest of you!" Zhao Feng leisurely placed his hands behind his back and playfully smiled at the remaining fighters of the Blazing Gold Race.


    These words were almost the same words that had come from Ancient God Gilded Gold''s mouth after he defeated Ancient God Ice Origin. Zhao Feng was now returning them to the Blazing Gold Race.

 1286 The Last Battle

    Chapter 1286 - The Last Battle


    "An Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race? He wasn''t any big deal. Just me alone is enough to sweep over the rest of you!" Zhao Feng leisurely placed his hands behind his back and playfully smiled at the remaining fighters of the Blazing Gold Race.


    The recuperating Ancient God Gilded Gold immediately grimaced at these words, a cold light in his eyes. He had said the same words to the Spiritual Race fighters after defeating Ancient God Ice Origin, and now, Zhao Feng was returning these words to him.


    "He won! He defeated Ancient God Gold Fury!" The Spiritual Race disciples immediately cheered.


    Even if they didn''t know Zhao Feng personally, he was still a Spiritual Race disciple. By defeating its foes, he was winning glory and honor for the Spiritual Race.


    Zhao Feng was highly likely to salvage this situation and win a part of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein for the Spiritual Race. Moreover, the Fourth Elder had said earlier that, if the Spiritual Race could get ten percent of the vein, all the fighters of the Spiritual Race would receive ten thousand contribution points, so they all dearly hoped that Zhao Feng could keep on winning.


    "He actually won!?" Ancient God Ice Origin was dumbfounded, his face a mixture of envy and dejection. If Zhao Feng could defeat Ancient God Gold Fury, it meant that Zhao Feng''s strength was similar to his own.


    How strong! He doesn''t seem like someone who recently became an Ancient God at all! the Fourth Elder inwardly muttered, a profound look in his eyes.


    Suddenly, the Fourth Elder recalled how Zhao Feng had refused the Third Elder''s invitation to become his disciple. Could it be that he already had a master?


    This idea suddenly leaped to the forefront of the Fourth Elder''s mind. Only this could explain why Zhao Feng had refused to become a disciple of a half-step God Lord. Only this could explain why Zhao Feng had so quickly become an Ancient God and was so strong. In addition, soon after breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm, Zhao Feng secretly left the Spiritual Race.


    He must have gone to see his mysterious master. With his master''s help, he broke into the Ancient God level and solidified his cultivation level.


    The more he thought about it, the more the Fourth Elder was convinced.


    The Blazing Gold Race''s platform was much quieter.


    "How could this be? Ancient God Gold Fury lost!"


    The Blazing Gold Race disciples were still in shock.


    The upper echelon members of the Blazing Gold Race all had downcast looks.


    The Blazing Gold Race should have triumphantly crushed the Spiritual Race underfoot, but Zhao Feng came out of nowhere and defeated Ancient God Gold Fury. Even if the Blazing Gold Race won in the end, the blow to the Spiritual Race''s morale would be greatly reduced.


    This boy can''t be left alive! A hint of almost imperceptible killing intent appeared in the depths of Elder Jin''s eyes.


    "Ancient God Gold Fury has been defeated. Who should be next?" Zhao Feng leisurely scanned the Blazing Gold Race.


    "Kid, don''t get too arrogant! If I weren''t so injured and tired, you would have already lost to me!" Ancient God Gilded Gold roared.


    "Then do you dare step up now?" Zhao Feng teased.


    "You¡­!" Ancient God Gilded Gold''s body trembled in rage.


    But at this moment, he truly could not go up. Even if he still had more cards to play, the chance of him losing to Zhao Feng was still rather large.


    "Ancient God Gilded Gold still needs time to recover. The rest of you go up and buy time. And try to tire him out as well!" the upper echelon of the Blazing Gold Race messaged the remaining fighters.


    Zhao Feng had defeated Ancient God Gold Fury, but the Blazing Gold Race still had six fighters.


    "Mm, he must have used up a lot to defeat Ancient God Gold Fury!"


    "We''ll delay him so that Ancient God Gilded Gold has ample time to recover!"


    The other fighters of the Blazing Gold Race all agreed with this plan.


    "If you want to rest, then I''ll let you rest. Let''s have the True Gods of the Blazing Gold Race come up first." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Even if he challenged Ancient God Gilded Gold, he would be refused. Besides, if he defeated Ancient God Gilded Gold immediately and caused the Blazing Gold Race to concede, he wouldn''t be able to gain any more contribution points. So, before he took care of Ancient God Gilded Gold, he would sweep up these little insects.


    "Send the strongest True God first!" Elder Jin''s voice resounded in the minds of the five True Gods.


    The Blazing Gold Race had already lost four matches. if they lost two more, their numbers would drop below five, and the Spiritual Race would be able to get ten percent of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein. Thus, if they sent the strongest True God first, they would be able to buy more time for Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    The True Gods exchanged glances with each other, after which a black-clothed youth stepped forward.


    Whoosh!


    He jumped onto the stage and solemnly looked at Zhao Feng.


    The moment the youth stepped onto the stage, Zhao Feng lunged at him.


    Boom!


    The black-clothed youth fully activated his bloodline, used defensive secret skills, and gripped his divine weapon, immediately taking a defensive stance. His mission was to buy time for Ancient God Gilded Gold and exhaust Zhao Feng.


    But Zhao Feng didn''t let the Blazing Gold Race get what it wanted. If the battle went on for too long, Ancient God Gilded Gold would have time to recover, and Zhao Feng wouldn''t get a chance to beat the others first.


    In addition, Zhao Feng had just fought a pitched battle with Ancient God Gold Fury and still needed to face many more True Gods as well as Ancient God Gilded Gold. He truly did need to conserve his strength. Since this was the case, Zhao Feng would use some of his special tricks to swiftly dispatch his opponents.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s eye of dream-like silver slowly began to turn. A multi-colored ray of light shot out, dazzling and gorgeous.


    "Not good! Eye-bloodline technique!" The black-clothed youth immediately focused all his attention.


    He had to be cautious of both Zhao Feng''s illusory eye-bloodline techniques and Zhao Feng''s spatial eye-bloodline techniques. However, his Rank Six True God Soul Intent, even when ready, was still not up to the task.


    Moreover, Zhao Feng''s God Eye had experienced a major transformation when he was breaking through into the Heavenly Divine Realm; his left eye was now at the Quasi God Eye level!


    Boom!


    A ball of dreamy mist shrouded the black-clothed youth. This mist swiftly transformed into layers of glistening water, and dazzling arcs of lightning traveled through this water.


    "Water Lightning Illusion Prison!"


    With the eye-bloodline technique successfully employed, Zhao Feng''s left eye stopped.


    Water Lightning Illusion Prison was a new eye-bloodline technique that Zhao Feng had developed. It fused Illusion Intent with Water Intent and contained both physical and mental energy. An opponent imprisoned within would find it impossible to escape.


    The black-clothed youth was trapped in a prison of blue lightning. His expression was panicked as he tried to break free, but his efforts were fruitless.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng blinked to his side, converted his Five Elements Divine Power to Water Divine Power, and struck out with his palm. A palm of light infused with Water Intent struck the Water Lightning Illusion Prison, absorbing its energy and slamming into the black-clothed youth with even greater force.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The black-clothed youth had no time to defend himself. He landed more than ten thousand feet away, whereupon he vomited blood.


    Every member of the Blazing Gold Race immediately became gloomy, and the fighters all became somewhat fearful.


    "Just what is that eye? It''s so powerful!"


    "And his mastery of eye-bloodline techniques is also on an extremely high level!"


    The Blazing Gold Race members conversed with each other in hopes of finding a countermeasure.


    The black-clothed youth lost too quickly. He was barely able to buy any time at all, so they still needed to send someone else.


    "Good, another victory!" The Spiritual Race members cheered.


    Zhao Feng had now defeated two people. If he defeated one more, the Spiritual Race would get ten percent of the ore vein, and all the participating fighters would get ten thousand contribution points.


    But the Spiritual Race could now see Zhao Feng''s strength. There was a chance of getting more than ten percent.


    "This energy¡­"


    "The energy of a God Eye!"


    On the Life Sacred Land platform, the few people with the Eye of Life present all turned serious.


    "Impossible. All the eye-bloodlines of the world originate from the Eight Great God Eyes, but his eye doesn''t seem to belong to any of them. And what''s going on with this God Eye energy¡­?" The wrinkled elder from the Life Sacred Land became pensive.


    At this moment, the fiery woman of the Blazing Gold Race stepped onto the stage. Interestingly, she had three soul-protecting divine artifacts on her.


    "I said before, I alone am enough to sweep through every member of the Blazing Gold Race. No matter how you come up, you will all still lose!" Zhao Feng stared straight at the fiery woman.


    The people of the Spiritual Race were all a little taken aback. They originally believed that Zhao Feng was just making fun of the Blazing Gold Race, but Zhao Feng was clearly communicating that he intended to realize his claim.


    "Hmph, anyone can talk big!" The fiery woman had a rather irritable temperament. Moreover, she had come very well-prepared.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng didn''t say any more, blinking forward and unleashing an enormous stream of Divine energy.


    The fiery woman immediately used all the methods she had available to her to cautiously battle with Zhao Feng.


    "Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Palm!" Zhao Feng attacked with all his power.


    So powerful! Even if he doesn''t use eye-bloodline techniques, I still can''t last for very long! The fiery woman was a little anguished.


    Zhao Feng''s attacks contained Wind Lightning Intent, Five Elements Intent, and even occasionally Space Intent. The fiery woman had no way to fight back. After ten moves, she was sent flying from the stage.


    "Three rounds¡­ we''ve already won three rounds!" The members of the Spiritual Race were all ecstatic.


    The Blazing Gold Race members all had depressed and helpless expressions. They could only send more True Gods to buy more time for Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    However, these people were all weaker than the first two and simply didn''t have the strength to fight with Zhao Feng. If they weren''t equipped with so many soul-protecting divine artifacts, they would almost be instantly defeated by Zhao Feng.


    In the end, all the True God disciples of the Blazing Gold Race were defeated. Zhao Feng had now won six matches in a row.


    All the spectators around the fighting platform were rather dazed. No one had expected for the gambling match to turn out like this.


    Earlier, the Blazing Gold Race''s Ancient God Gilded Gold defeated seven members of the Spiritual Race in a row. Soon after, the Spiritual Race''s Zhao Feng revealed his true level of power and defeated six members of the Blazing Gold Race in a row.


    "I really can''t believe it! To think that Zhao Feng would be so powerful!"


    "He actually defeated six people in a row! The Spiritual Race can now get forty percent of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein!"


    The members of the Spiritual Race were all extremely excited.


    Zhao Feng had singlehandedly rescued the Spiritual Race from its wretched situation. Even if Zhao Feng lost this last match, no one would complain.


    Thump!


    Ancient God Gilded Gold had already stepped onto the stage, his face savage and his eyes ruthless.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll stomp you beneath my feet!" Ancient God Gilded Gold roared.


    Originally, he was supposed to be the most dazzling individual of this gambling match, crushing the Spiritual Race underfoot to win glory and honor for the Blazing Gold Race. However, Zhao Feng ruined everything.


    In order to give Ancient God Gilded Gold enough time to recover, the Blazing Gold Race was forced to send up all their True God disciples. No one expected for Zhao Feng to be so vicious, defeating these people with lightning-fast speed. But no matter how angry the Blazing Gold Race was, it couldn''t do anything about it.


    Fortunately, Ancient God Gilded Gold had finished recovering.


    The people of the Blazing Gold Race were confident that Ancient God Gilded Gold would win the last battle. The Blazing Gold Race would emerge victorious in this gambling match!

 1287 Borrowing Strength

    Chapter 1287 - Borrowing Strength


    "This is the last battle of the gambling match between the two races. I wonder which person will be the one to sweep over the fighters from the other race!"


    Ancient God Gilded Gold and Zhao Feng had both said that they would sweep over the remaining fighters of the opposing team. In the end, the two were fighting against each other. In the end, only one person would prove themselves to be right.


    "Zhao Feng has fought six battles in a row and hasn''t had time to rest while Ancient God Gilded Gold has almost completely recovered. The gap between the two is extremely obvious."


    "Moreover, I didn''t see Zhao Feng take out a divine weapon in any of those battles. He probably doesn''t have a divine weapon of his own while Ancient God Gilded Gold has a high-quality divine weapon."


    As the final battle was about to commence, the spectators couldn''t help but speculate. No one was optimistic about Zhao Feng''s chances, but this judgment was one backed by good reasoning.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t feel pressured!" the Spiritual Race Fourth Elder hurriedly messaged Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had fought six matches in a row without resting. He was bound to lose in this last battle, but the Spiritual Race no longer cared about that.


    After all, the Spiritual Race would have completely lost to the Blazing Gold Race without him, not even getting ten percent of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein. Zhao Feng managed to salvage the situation, reversing the tides so that the Spiritual Race could obtain forty percent of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein.


    "Elder, don''t forget that you agreed to give five hundred thousand contribution points!" Zhao Feng seriously replied.


    "Five hundred thousand contribution points¡­!" The Fourth Elder suddenly recalled that he had casually agreed to this request from Zhao Feng. As long as Zhao Feng could sweep over the rest of the Blazing Gold Race, he would give him five hundred thousand contribution points.


    Of course, the Fourth Elder had only agreed in order to pacify Zhao Feng.


    Does he actually believe he can pull it off? The Fourth Elder was flabbergasted. If Zhao Feng didn''t believe he could do this, why would he mention it before fighting this last battle?


    The Fourth Elder''s heart began to thump against his chest. When Ancient God Gilded Gold first appeared, he had lost any hope of the Spiritual Race winning and only prayed that it did not lose too badly. But now, could the Spiritual Race actually win? For some reason, the Fourth Elder found himself getting a little excited.


    The other Spiritual Race disciples also began to grow excited.


    Only Ancient God Ice Origin stood with a dim and dejected look. This gambling match between the two races was the most painful and torturous moment of his life.


    Boom!


    On the fighting stage, Zhao Feng and Ancient God Gilded Gold began to fight.


    Ancient God Gilded Gold wielded his dark yellow ax, his entire body wreathed in golden flames. His attacks were broad and fierce as they swept toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was using his advantage in speed to constantly dodge while attacking the weak points in Ancient God Gilded Gold''s defense.


    Ancient God Gilded Gold and his high-quality divine weapon could launch powerful attacks, but he found it very difficult to actually hurt Zhao Feng. However, his formidable physical body made it very difficult for Zhao Feng to injure him either.


    Zhao Feng had already defeated and killed a Rank Seven Ancient God, but that was because he was aided by the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the powerful defensive capabilities of the Spacetime Robe. Zhao Feng couldn''t summon the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and he definitely couldn''t show the Spacetime Robe here, so he could not recklessly allow Ancient God Gilded Gold to get close to him.


    "Do you only know how to dodge?" Ancient God Gilded Gold jeered. After fighting six battles without rest, why exactly did Zhao Feng think he could fight him? Ancient God Gilded Gold had come prepared for this battle.


    "Heaven-Shattering Slash!" Ancient God Gilded Gold gathered his power as he prepared to unleash a powerful combat skill.


    Now is the moment! Ancient God Gilded Gold''s eyes exploded with light. The moment Zhao Feng was about to use Instant Movement, Ancient God Gilded Gold took out a crystal geomancy plate.


    When he activated the geomancy plate, a strange spatial energy immediately began to layer itself over the surrounding space.


    "A space-sealing divine artifact?" Zhao Feng''s brow slightly creased as two golden wings unfurled behind his back and took him flying backward.


    The Blazing Gold Race had entrusted everything to Ancient God Gilded Gold. They had definitely analyzed Zhao Feng''s fighting style and developed methods to counter it. For example, the black ring on Ancient God Gilded Gold''s finger was a divine rank high-quality defensive soul artifact. Other than that, the Blazing Gold Race had naturally thought of a way to counter Zhao Feng''s Space Intent.


    Kabooom!


    Ancient God Gilded Gold unleashed a golden ax of flame, but Zhao Feng was able to dodge it.


    "You''re very smart to have guarded against this."


    Ancient God Gilded Gold''s abrupt use of a space-sealing divine artifact had not given him a surprise victory, but he didn''t care. In his view, Zhao Feng was bound to lose after fighting six battles in a row. The items that the Blazing Gold Race had given him were simply overkill.


    "How risky!" The Spiritual Race disciples sweated in Zhao Feng''s place.


    "Ancient God Gilded Gold has too many divine artifacts on him, but Zhao Feng¡­" An upper echelon Elder lamented.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    If they had known what was going to happen, they would have prepared some divine artifacts for Zhao Feng.


    "If Zhao Feng had one high-quality offensive divine artifact, the outcome would be more up in the air!" The fighters of the Spiritual Race all felt indignant in Zhao Feng''s place.


    A suitable high-quality offensive divine artifact would increase an Ancient God''s attack power by at least forty percent. The difference between having a divine artifact and not having one was absolutely enormous. The fact that Zhao Feng could even fight with Ancient God Gilded Gold without a high-quality divine artifact was truly shocking.


    On the other end, the upper echelon members of the Blazing Gold Race all felt that victory was in their grasp.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng used his Metal Lightning Radiance Wings to fly across the fighting stage in a golden streak of light.


    "Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Palm! Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng sought out gaps to use his combat skills and eye-bloodline techniques.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Gilded Gold''s dark yellow ax fired off a wave of golden flames that pulverized the five-colored lightning palm that Zhao Feng fired off.


    Hiss... Ancient God Gilded Gold hissed as he felt the pain in his soul. He had to pause for a few moments before renewing his assault on Zhao Feng.


    "I understand¡­." Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed with a sharp light.


    He noticed just now that, when he used a Soul eye-bloodline technique on Ancient God Gilded Gold, the power released by the ring on Ancient God Gilded Gold''s finger didn''t quite reach the level of a high-quality divine artifact. This was definitely because this divine artifact had been loaned out to Ancient God Gilded Gold on the spot by the upper echelon of the Blazing Gold Race.


    It was no easy to task to refine a high-quality divine artifact. A defensive soul divine artifact that had not been completely refined could not exhibit its full strength. This meant that Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline techniques still had a very powerful effect.


    "Water Lightning Illusion Prison!" Zhao Feng''s eye of dream-like silver slowly began to turn. A multi-colored ray of light shot out, dazzling and gorgeous.


    Boom!


    A ball of dreamy mist engulfed Ancient God Gilded Gold''s surroundings and slowly began to envelop him. This dreamy mist soon turned into a prison of blue water that trapped him.


    After unleashing this eye-bloodline technique, Zhao Feng began a vigorous assault, firing off palm after palm of blue lightning.


    Kacrack!


    Sensing that danger was imminent, Ancient God Gilded Gold used a secret defensive technique. A golden halo appeared around his body, its surface inscribed with bright golden runes of flame. At the same time, Ancient God Gilded Gold held up his high-quality divine artifact.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Ancient God Gilded Gold was pushed back some distance before finally coming to a halt.


    "I didn''t think that you could still show this kind of strength after fighting six matches in a row." A hint of surprise could be seen on Ancient God Gilded Gold''s face. His expression suddenly turned cold and harsh while a somber aura began to rise from his body.


    "Is he going to use all his power now?" Zhao Feng muttered.


    By becoming an Ancient God in a single step, Zhao Feng had already proven that he had abnormal reserves and potential. Although he had taxed himself in the previous battles a bit, he had not used up too much of his energy.


    "Heaven-Quaking Giant Ax Cleave!" Ancient God Gilded Gold roared, the massive image of an ax appearing over his stone ax.


    With a flourish of his ax, a massive energy slash made of golden flames flew through the air. It took up almost half the stage, leaving Zhao Feng with nowhere to run.


    "Haha, Ancient God Gilded Gold is finally getting serious!"


    "Since that''s the case, Zhao Feng is finished!"


    The upper echelon members of the Blazing Gold Race gave wicked smiles.


    The spectators around the stage felt like the battle was about to be over.


    The massive energy slash was about to strike Zhao Feng.


    God Eye Disintegration! Zhao Feng secretly activated his God Eye and locked onto a certain part of the attack.


    Dreamy mist emerged from his left eye. Suddenly, a gap appeared in the energy slash.


    Thwish!


    The massive attack swept past, but Zhao Feng stood in the gap and emerged completely unharmed.


    "What eye-bloodline technique was that?" Ancient God Gilded Gold sensed Zhao Feng using the abilities of his eye, but he couldn''t understand what it did.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash!" Zhao Feng immediately used an eye-bloodline technique.


    Whoosh!


    A blade of white lightning swept across Ancient God Gilded Gold''s body.


    "You''re seeking death!" Ancient God Gilded Gold''s eyes turned savage and furious.


    He managed to avoid a fatal blow from this eye-bloodline technique, but he was still rather badly wounded.


    Bzzzz!


    A dazzling golden light surged out of Ancient God Gilded Gold''s body while the aura of Destruction Intent began to spread through the air.


    "Destruction Intent! Watch out!" the members of the Spiritual Race called out in alarm.


    On the other side, the Blazing Gold Race was all smug smiles. "It''s over!"


    The look on everyone else''s face seemed to indicate that this was exactly how they thought the match would end. Ancient God Gilded Gold''s high-quality divine weapon and his powerful Destruction Intent meant that Zhao Feng''s defeat was certain.


    But Zhao Feng wasn''t very panicked. On the contrary, he was a little excited.


    "I was waiting for you to use this power!" Zhao Feng revealed a cunning smile.


    God Eye Duplication!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye focused on the Destruction energy around Ancient God Gilded Gold''s body, and a powerful stream of Eye Intent shot forward.


    Zhao Feng quickly succeeded in duplicating this energy. At the same time, a Tribulation Lightning eye-bloodline technique was building up in his left eye.


    "Die, Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Gilded Gold roared, both hands gripping his giant ax as he prepared to end this match with a single strike.


    Kabooom!


    The stone ax in his hands began to thrum with ripples of heaven-shaking Destruction energy.


    God Eye Duplication¡­ Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!


    Zhao Feng was the first to act though, firing off his powerful eye-bloodline technique. He took the Destruction energy he duplicated from Ancient God Gilded Gold and fused it with his Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame. This Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame possessed power like never before.


    Boom! Hisss!


    A dazzling lightning-flame suddenly descended over Ancient God Gilded Gold''s head.


    Even before this terrifying Destructive soul energy had descended, Ancient God Gilded Gold felt his heart thump in dread. Ancient God Gilded Gold hurriedly attempted to activate the defensive soul divine artifact on his finger.


    Bzzzz!


    Ripples of pitch-black light engulfed his soul.


    At almost the same time:


    Kacrack!


    The Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame strengthened by combining with the God Eye Duplication of that forbidden Destruction energy exploded upon his soul, immediately causing the pitch-black ripples to dim and shatter.

 1288 The Gambling Match Ends

    Chapter 1288 - The Gambling Match Ends


    "What happened?"


    "What''s happened to Ancient God Gilded Gold?"


    Ancient God Gilded Gold was on the verge of unleashing a powerful attack against Zhao Feng and defeating him, but then his energy began to fade. At the same time, a Destructive soul energy abruptly descended on Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    Upon sensing this energy, everyone felt their souls tremble.


    Kacrack!


    A dazzling lighting-flame engulfed the dark shroud of protection of Ancient God Gilded Gold''s soul and obliterated it. After all, Ancient God Gilded Gold had not completely refined this high-quality soul-protecting divine artifact, resulting in a large decrease in its defensive properties.


    At the same time:


    "Aaaaaaah¡­!" Ancient God Gilded Gold''s miserable screams could be heard for tens of thousands of li. His face contorted as he curled up on the ground, his body constantly twitching.


    The spectators couldn''t help but shiver at this sight. They could all sense the power of that Soul lightning, and the secret technique that Ancient God Gilded Gold used to protect his soul was instantly shattered. It was difficult to imagine the terrible damage being inflicted on Ancient God Gilded Gold''s soul.


    As Ancient God Gilded Gold''s screams began to weaken, they could sense his soul getting weaker and weaker until it was almost on the verge of completely vanishing. Suddenly, Ancient God Gilded Gold stopped struggling. However, although his aura was weak, he was not dead.


    After a few moments of silence, the crowd exploded.


    "Ancient God Gilded Gold lost!"


    "What happened just now?"


    This development left everyone stunned. Many people didn''t even understand how Ancient God Gilded Gold had lost.


    "He won!"


    "Heavens, Zhao Feng actually managed to win!"


    After a few moments in a dazed stupor, the members of the Spiritual Race exclaimed in shock.


    All of this felt like a dream to them. What initially was certain defeat had gradually turned into an advantage and, ultimately, victory.


    Even the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race had stiff faces, so excited that they didn''t know what to say.


    In contrast, the Blazing Gold Race members all had extremely gloomy faces. Searing physical energy was soaring high into the sky.


    They had all believed that, once Ancient God Gilded Gold used his trump card, Zhao Feng would be certain to lose. No one had expected such a massive reversal at the crucial moment.


    In mere moments, Ancient God Gilded Gold was defeated. They were even wondering if this was an illusion. None of them could accept this result.


    "Junior, you actually tried to kill him. Even if such a powerful soul attack didn''t kill Ancient God Gilded Gold, it will still inflict a massive wound on his soul that can never be healed!" Elder Jin of the Blazing Gold Race barked, the heavens shaking as he sent a scorching energy creeping over the fighting stage.


    Zhao Feng instantly felt like the sky was falling, the pressure on him making it impossible for him to breathe. Scorching and fiery energy was slowly surging toward him, making him feel like he had been plunged into a hellish world of lava. His body and soul both seemed to be aflame.


    "The Blazing Gold Race truly knows nothing of shame. A peak Ancient God of the older generation is actually interfering in a battle between the younger generation?" At this moment, the voice of the Spiritual Race Fourth Elder resounded over the stage.


    A weighty Intent descended around Zhao Feng, immediately driving away the discomfort he felt.


    "I did nothing of the sort! I am only questioning your Spiritual Race disciple as to why he was so ruthless!" Elder Jin boldly proclaimed.


    "Gilded Gold''s skills were inferior! What more is there to say? If Zhao Feng was truly ruthless, he wouldn''t have left any survivors in his battles with the True Gods of the Blazing Gold Race!" the Fourth Elder coldly remarked, deep disdain in his voice.


    The Blazing Gold Race had nothing to say in response.


    "Enough! The gambling match is over. The Spiritual Race is victorious!" At this moment, the wrinkled elder of the Life Sacred Land spoke, a grim look on his face.


    The two five-star factions immediately ceased their quarreling.


    Whoosh!


    Watched by the crowd, Zhao Feng left the fighting stage and returned to the Spiritual Race''s platform. Meanwhile, Ancient God Gilded Gold was carried off the stage by the disciples of the Blazing Gold Race.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re really impressive!"


    "We really owe you this time!"


    All the members of the Spiritual Race welcomed Zhao Feng with beaming smiles.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve rendered a great service this time. You will get every one of those five hundred thousand contribution points!" the Fourth Elder said with a joyous smile.


    Compared to what the Spiritual Race had gained, five hundred thousand contribution points was really nothing at all.


    The rest of the Spiritual Race disciples all shot envious glances at Zhao Feng.


    In this victory, the majority of the Spiritual Race disciples would only come away with ten thousand contribution points. True God Long Yuan and the delicate girl had both defeated one person and gained thirty thousand contribution points.


    But Zhao Feng alone had gained five hundred thousand contribution points! Such a huge sum of contribution points couldn''t be built up even through decades of missions.


    However, Zhao Feng truly deserved it all.


    As for why Zhao Feng was able to instantly defeat Ancient God Gilded Gold, this wasn''t too surprising to quite a few members of the Spiritual Race. Zhao Feng had already shown this kind of eye-bloodline technique before in the Spiritual Race.


    "This region''s Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein will be divided according to the rules decided upon earlier. The gambling match between the two races is concluded!" the wrinkled elder of the Life Sacred Land loudly announced.


    The curtain finally fell on the gambling match. The gambling match was extremely exciting, with many unexpected developments.


    The members of the Blazing Gold Race all had dejected and depressed looks on their faces. Of their fighters, seven had lost to Zhao Feng, two of them being Ancient Gods.


    The fighters of the Blazing Gold Race didn''t have the face to meet with the other members of their race.


    With the gambling match over, the other factions gathered here began to slowly disperse.


    Some factions who either had good relations with the Spiritual Race or were extremely powerful went over to the Spiritual Race''s platform to offer their congratulations. The people of the Life Sacred Land, as the organizers of this match, also paid a visit.


    The actions of the Life Sacred Land made the Blazing Gold Race even more dejected.


    "The Spiritual Race''s performance this time was truly surprising!" The wrinkled elder glanced at Zhao Feng before speaking to the Fourth Elder.


    At this time, Xiahou Wu went to Zhao Feng''s side.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re progressing very quickly!" Xiahou Wu felt somewhat ashamed of his inferiority.


    A year ago, he was still able to fiercely battle with Zhao Feng. But now, he estimated that he would find it hard to take even five blows from Zhao Feng.


    "The God Eye Assembly will be held in half a year. Do you plan on attending?" Xiahou Wu asked.


    "God Eye Assembly?" Zhao Feng had a confused look on his face. This was the first time he was hearing the name.


    At the same time, he was wondering; did this assembly have to do with the Eight Great God Eyes?


    "You don''t know?" Xiahou Wu stared at him in surprise and then began to slowly explain.


    The God Eye Assembly was held by a special faction of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods known as the God Eye Hall.


    The God Eye Hall was a hidden faction that was spread throughout the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The primary movers of this faction were all God Eye descendants. There was also a rumor that the ruler of the God Eye Hall was a God Eye Deity.


    Zhao Feng was dumbstruck. If that was really the case, then this faction was equal to a God Realm Sacred Land.


    "This is an extremely special faction. It has very few members, and the members never represent themselves as part of the faction. It also doesn''t interact with other factions or fight for resources. Even if you join this faction, you won''t receive any benefits or protection."


    Although it was called a faction, the members of the faction were free to do as they wished. Some of them were even members of other major factions.


    Xiahou Wu continued, "The only objective of the God Eye Hall is that, at certain intervals, they will hold a God Eye Assembly in each of the zones."


    Although it was called the God Eye Assembly, it was mostly just God Eye descendants who participated in it.


    "What are the priorities of the God Eye Assembly?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    Such a powerful and unique faction''s only goal was to hold these God Eye Assemblies, so these assemblies definitely weren''t normal.


    "The assembly''s main purpose is to gather together all the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes of a single zone. Various activities will be held; trades, missions¡­" Xiahou Wu smiled.


    "Your eye is very unique. You might be able to find an answer there. In addition, your eye has already reached the level of Quasi God Eye, but it doesn''t seem to be able to use its full power¡­." Xiahou Wu focused on Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    The Eye of Life that he was so proud of would inexplicably shiver every time he looked at Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Zhao Feng became pensive. He had heard about this Quasi God Eye distinction from Xiahou Wu before.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was finally realizing that his understanding of the Eight Great God Eyes was truly pitifully small.


    The Eight Great God Eyes gathered together in one place¡­ Zhao Feng inexplicably felt excited.


    "My eye isn''t a descendant of any one of the Eight Great God Eyes¡­." Zhao Feng hesitated for a while before finally saying this.


    "All the eyes of the universe originate from the Eight Great God Eyes. In the past, the God Eye Assembly only allowed the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes to participate, but they later relaxed the requirement to anyone with an eye-bloodline," Xiahou Wu straightforwardly said.


    "Half a year later, the people of the God Eye Hall will hold the God Eye Assembly!" With these words, Xiahou Wu left with the rest of the people from the Life Sacred Land.


    The Life Sacred Land was only here to serve as a witness to the gambling match. Now that it was over, they naturally didn''t need to stay.


    "You may choose to remain here or return to the Spiritual Race. If you remain here, you are responsible for beginning the mining of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein. For this, you can gain additional rewards," the Fourth Elder said to the disciples.


    "I want to go back," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    Originally, Ancient God Ice Origin was also planning to go back to the Spiritual Race, but he changed his mind when he heard this.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    In the end, only three people chose to return to the Spiritual Race. The Fifth Elder and a few other members of the upper echelon accompanied Zhao Feng and the other two disciples back to the Spiritual Race.


    The Fifth Elder immediately gathered a group of peripheral disciples and headed back to the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein so that they could begin mining it.


    Upon returning to the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng secluded himself. He had comprehended many things from his consecutive battles. In addition, the five hundred thousand contribution points had probably not been delivered yet.


    After ten days, Zhao Feng emerged and headed to the Spiritual Race''s All Spirit Hall.


    "Brother Feng has come out from seclusion!"


    "Brother Zhao Feng, good day!"


    On the way, he ran into several core disciples who all warmly called out to him.


    It had taken only a few days for Zhao Feng''s feats in the gambling match to spread throughout the Spiritual Race. They naturally treated Zhao Feng so well because he had won glory and honor for the Spiritual Race. At the same time, all of the disciples had to fear his formidable power.


    Zhao Feng quickly arrived at All Spirit Hall.


    The moment he arrived, an Elder walked out from All Spirit Hall.


    "You''re finally here." The guardian Elder faintly smiled as if he had been waiting for Zhao Feng all this time.


    "Mm, I want to exchange for a technique," Zhao Feng flatly said.


    The two immediately went to the highest floor of All Spirit Hall.

 1289 Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique

    Chapter 1289 - Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique


    The moment Zhao Feng entered All Spirit Hall, he immediately became the focus of the many Spiritual Race disciples within. However, he didn''t care and just followed the guardian Elder to the very top floor.


    "That''s Zhao Feng! A year ago, he directly broke through to become a Rank Six True God, and he''s already an Ancient God!"


    "Moreover, in the gambling match between races, he singlehandedly salvaged the situation, emerging victorious in consecutive battles and even defeating two Ancient Gods of the Blazing Gold Race. The upper echelon of the Spiritual Race rewarded him with five hundred thousand contribution points."


    The many Spiritual Race disciples who were choosing techniques and combat skills couldn''t help but sigh in wonder at Zhao Feng''s achievements.


    "Five hundred thousand contribution points!"


    All the Spiritual Race disciples couldn''t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.


    The majority of them were low-ranked True Gods. Those techniques that could be cultivated to Rank Seven Ancient God were ten thousand-some contribution points, twenty thousand at most. They wouldn''t even be able to spend five hundred thousand.


    Zhao Feng quickly arrived at the highest floor of All Spirit Hall.


    Only those who had reached the Ancient God level could step onto this floor. The only people on this floor currently were Zhao Feng and the guardian Elder of All Spirit Hall.


    This final floor was extremely empty. There were only four translucent crystal walls. Each of these walls was studded with crystal balls of various colors and sizes. These crystal balls all contained a divine-level technique or combat skill.


    "Do you want to choose yourself, or do you want me to help you choose?" The guardian Elder smiled.


    "I need a technique that can allow me to become a God Lord!" Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    If these techniques were all on the same level, then one that could be cultivated all the way to the God Lord level was naturally the best. The fact that it could be cultivated to the God Lord level was also proof that the technique was more complete and would more greatly boost one''s strength. In addition, any technique that could allow one to become a God Lord could be considered a top-class divine-level technique.


    "Look there." The guardian Elder gave a knowing smile and extended a finger.


    Zhao Feng looked to the eastern wall. Four crystal balls were embedded at the top of this wall.


    "The Spiritual Race has four techniques that allow one to become a God Lord." The guardian Elder gave a somewhat proud smile as he introduced them.


    "The first technique is a cultivation technique meant especially for those with the Spiritual Race bloodline. You do not have the Spiritual Race bloodline and are not suited for this technique, so I will not explain it."


    The guardian Elder then introduced the three remaining techniques.


    The second technique was called Five Elements Myriad Art and primarily cultivated Five Elements Intent. Five Elements Intent embraced five different kinds of Intent. When cultivating this technique, one had to ensure that the difference between the five kinds of Intent was not very large, as it would be very difficult to make any progress otherwise. This made it somewhat difficult to cultivate.


    The third technique was the Lightning Fire Heaven Technique. It was suited for cultivators of Lightning and Fire. Those cultivating this technique would be powerful fighters, and cultivating it was rather easy. In short, it was straightforward and conventional.


    The fourth was the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique and embodied the five elements of the world, spacetime, and the many manifestations of nature. It fused many kinds of Intent and could produce the extremely formidable Chaos Origin Divine Power. But because this technique had such a large scope and no clear objective, it was rather difficult to reach the God Lord level with it. Moreover, the technique itself was extremely difficult to cultivate.


    "Your five hundred thousand contribution points can only be exchanged for one of these techniques, so I advise you to exchange for a slightly worse one so that you can also get a few powerful combat skills." The guardian Elder added his own word of advice.


    "Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique¡­?" When Zhao Feng heard this technique being introduced, he was instantly struck dumb.


    Originally, when he arrived at the hall, he was prepared to choose the Five Elements technique the guardian Elder had mentioned on his last visit. However, he discovered that the Five Elements Myriad Art''s power was inferior to the other two techniques.


    Zhao Feng also realized that the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique was more suitable for him than the Five Elements Myriad Art anyway. After all, if he cultivated the Five Elements Myriad Art, he would have to abandon his Wind and Lightning Intents. However, the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique was different; it could encompass almost every kind of Intent.


    "I want the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique!" Zhao Feng finally said after thinking it over for a while.


    "Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique?" The guardian Elder was taken aback. He had been under the impression that Zhao Feng would definitely choose the Five Elements Myriad Art.


    "Zhao Feng, this Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique is abnormally difficult. The more Intents one has, the more powerful it is, but the more Intents there are, the more difficult it is to control." The guardian Elder had some understanding of these four techniques, so he immediately began to urge Zhao Feng to pick something else.


    "My mind is made up." Zhao Feng''s eyes were resolute. He had an abundance of Intents, and he was truly reluctant to give up on them.


    The guardian Elder saw that Zhao Feng was sure and said no more, taking out a crystal token. After he poured Divine Power into this token, a crystal ball flew out from the wall and in front of Zhao Feng.


    "You can only leave this place once you have completely memorized this technique. At the same time, you cannot leak the contents of this technique. Once this is discovered, the Spiritual Race will harshly punish you."


    After saying this, the guardian Elder left.


    Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged on the ground and sent his mind into the crystal ball. The information regarding the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique immediately flowed into his mind.


    Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique: encompasses the five elements of the world, spacetime, and the many manifestations of nature, embodies the power of all. Upon completion, can condense Chaos Power¡­


    "It really didn''t disappoint me!" Zhao Feng''s eyes shone with joy.


    He had too many kinds of Intent, including Five Elements, Wind Lightning, and Spacetime. In addition, he had the God''s Spiritual Eye, which endowed him with incredible comprehension ability, and he was particularly good at comprehending Intents. If he wanted, he could easily comprehend a few more Intents.


    At this point, Zhao Feng couldn''t help but recall the God Eye Assembly that Xiahou Wu had spoken of.


    An assembly of the Eight Great God Eyes¡­ I should be able to obtain a lot of information regarding the Eight Great God Eyes, ways to use eye-bloodline techniques, and perhaps even cultivation methods for eye-bloodline techniques. Zhao Feng found himself very tempted.


    His only concern was that his eye had a chance of being the Ninth God Eye.


    If I go there and become able to use the true power of my God Eye, then the risk will have been worth it! After a long while, Zhao Feng made his decision.


    This mysterious left eye had always been his greatest secret. Perhaps if he uncovered this left eye''s potential, the secrets around this left eye would also be revealed. Thus, Zhao Feng decided to take a look around this God Eye Assembly.


    One day later, the formidable memorization abilities of Zhao Feng''s left eye allowed him to completely memorize the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique.


    As he exited the floor, the guardian Elder immediately went up to greet him.


    "You''ve finished memorizing it?" the guardian Elder asked in surprise.


    One crystal was tantamount to an ocean of information. Even an Ancient God would take ten-some days to completely memorize a technique that could bring one all the way to the God Lord level.


    "Mm." Zhao Feng nodded and gave the crystal ball to the guardian Elder.


    "Zhao Feng!?" someone suddenly blurted out in shock.


    Zhao Feng looked over and saw that it was an Ancient God who had previously appeared at the Pure Spirit Sacred Water contest, Jin Wei''s older brother Jin Kun.


    Zhao Feng recalled that this person was very hostile toward him. Zhao Feng gave him a wary gaze before leaving.


    "Damn¡­!" Jin Kun clenched his fists and ground his teeth.


    He had been itching to challenge Zhao Feng, but after becoming a True God, Zhao Feng entered seclusion and then furtively took a trip to the outside. Once he returned to the Spiritual Race, the contest for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water began.


    After that, Zhao Feng represented the Spiritual Race in the gambling match, so Jin Kun wasn''t allowed to affect Zhao Feng''s condition. But when Zhao Feng returned, he was already an Ancient God.


    Jin Kun also heard that Zhao Feng had singlehandedly defeated seven members of the Blazing Gold Race in the gambling match, two of them being Ancient Gods.


    At this time, Jin Kun no longer had the courage to challenge Zhao Feng.


    Upon leaving All Spirit Hall, Zhao Feng was prepared to return to his residence and cultivate the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, but on his way back, he heard some astonishing news. Zhao Yufei had directly attained Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm, becoming one of the prides of the Spiritual Race bloodline.


    I didn''t think that Yufei would succeed! Zhao Feng was inwardly elated.


    When he came back, he had not seen Zhao Yufei around. After listening around, he learned that Zhao Yufei had moved elsewhere to break into the Heavenly Divine Realm.


    At the time, Zhao Feng felt that Zhao Yufei was in too much of a rush. If she had built up her energy for a little bit longer, she would have been able to reach Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm. But to his surprise, Zhao Yufei succeeded in directly attaining Rank Five.


    In everyone else''s view, Zhao Feng had directly reached Rank Six and thus had more talent than Zhao Yufei, but Zhao Yufei had the Spiritual Race bloodline, making her completely different from Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Yufei is now the most dazzling existence of the Spiritual Race bloodline!"


    "She''s directly attained Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm, and with the special cultivation characteristics of the Spiritual Race bloodline, her potential is limitless!"


    The news of Zhao Yufei''s breakthrough had the entire Spiritual Race in an uproar.


    On this day, Zhao Yufei returned to her own palace.


    "Brother Feng, I''ll catch up to you quickly!" Zhao Yufei''s body exuded a transcendent aura, like a pure and unsullied crystal fairy.


    "Is that so? I''m already an Ancient God," Zhao Feng teased.


    Zhao Yufei had been in seclusion for her breakthrough, so she still didn''t have a great understanding of what happened in the gambling match.


    "This¡­ how?" Zhao Yufei''s petite mouth dropped open in surprise. As she sensed Zhao Feng''s energy, she realized that he really had reached the Ancient God level.


    "Damn, my Spiritual Race bloodline actually can''t keep up with you in cultivation speed¡­." Zhao Yufei immediately became rather dejected, but deep down, she was actually ecstatic for Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was rather speechless. If he hadn''t displayed his incredible talent and potential, would he be experiencing this peaceful life in the Spiritual Race?


    ¡­


    Three days later, the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race held a feast to celebrate Zhao Yufei''s successful breakthrough to Rank Five.


    The majority of the factions in the Ziling Zone were invited to this feast. All the guests were formidable True Gods at the very least, and even quite a few Ancient Gods showed up.


    The Spiritual Race bloodline was extremely special, and it had a unique trait when it came to cultivation. The fact that Zhao Yufei had directly attained Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm meant that she had a significant chance of reaching the God Lord level in the future.


    Quite a few Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race wanted to form a good relationship with Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei was the main character of this banquet, and her beauty had the young men of the Ziling Zone falling over themselves.


    But Zhao Feng, standing next to her, was an equally dazzling existence.


    "He''s Zhao Feng, the one who directly attained Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm, became an Ancient God within a year, and defeated seven disciples of the Blazing Gold Race?"


    "In the future, the Spiritual Race has a high chance of becoming the number one five-star faction of the Ziling Zone!"


    Everyone looked at the pair with envious and admiring gazes. At the same time, they also sighed in wonder at the Spiritual Race''s fortune. After however many years, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei might ascend to the God Lord realm together.


    At this feast, the upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race were laughing and smiling so often that their mouths were rarely ever closed. The Spiritual Race had been involved in so many incidents recently that it had become the hot topic of conversation for the Ziling Zone.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    Three days later, the feast concluded. Zhao Feng returned to his residence, preparing to seclude himself for some time to cultivate the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique.

 1290 God Eye Assembly

    Chapter 1290 - God Eye Assembly


    Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged in his palace, and the contents of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique surfaced in his mind.


    Zhao Feng gave it a rough scan. Although the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique was an extremely encompassing technique, it required one kind of Intent to link together all the others. The strength of this Intent needed to far surpass all the other Intents.


    "Of all my Intents, Space Intent is the strongest." Zhao Feng''s mind was like a bright mirror.


    The Spacetime Robe had made it so that Zhao Feng''s grasp of Space Intent had far surpassed even those Intents he had spent a lot of time cultivating, Five Elements and Wind Lightning.


    The Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique had six levels. The requirement for cultivating the first level was that one kind of Intent had to have reached Level Five. The requirement for the second level was that all the Intents linked together had to have reached Level Six. This continued in a similar fashion, with each additional level in the technique requiring for the Intents to be one level higher.


    At the fifth level, the Intents being cultivated had to have reached the peak of Level Nine. The sixth level was when one made the breakthrough to God Lord.


    "If that''s the case, I will primarily focus on cultivating Space Intent," Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    From what he could see, if he focused on improving his Space Intent, he could gradually make his way upward through the levels of the technique.


    However, the power of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique lay in having numerous kinds of Intent. Thus, while he was focusing on Space Intent, he couldn''t let the other Intents fall behind.


    The advantage of this technique was that Chaos Origin Divine Power contained the special traits of various Intents at the same time, making it almost impossible to counter. In addition, Zhao Feng was extremely interested in the highest level of completion of this technique, where one could generate a sliver of Chaos Power.


    After reading over the entire technique, Zhao Feng began to cultivate it.


    At the first level, he used Space Intent as the primary Intent to link together the other Intents and fused them together into Chaos Origin Divine Power. This wasn''t very difficult for Zhao Feng.


    An hour later, a dim ball of Divine Power, a contorted multicolored mass, had appeared on Zhao Feng''s Divine Stages. In terms of quality, it far surpassed Zhao Feng''s Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Divine Power.


    When cultivating the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, Zhao Feng only needed to fuse the energy of his Divine Stages. On the other hand, with the Five Elements Myriad Art, Zhao Feng would have had to purge his Divine Stages of all the other kinds of energy.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng began to move around the Chaos Origin Divine Power he had just refined. The dim ball of light quickly began to shift and transform in front of Zhao Feng.


    The shifting colors of Chaos Origin Divine Power were rather similar to the shifting colors of his dream-like silver hair.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Power is at least two times stronger than Ancient God Gilded Gold''s Divine Power!" Zhao Feng took in a deep breath.


    He sensed that this Divine Power was extremely heavy and could absorb any energy in the world. When it was used in attacks, the possibility of it being countered was very low.


    If he had been cultivating this Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique earlier, then he could have relied on this Divine Power to engage in a head-on battle with Ancient God Gilded Gold during the gambling match.


    After experiencing the power of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, Zhao Feng continued to cultivate.


    Three months later, Zhao Feng finally finished refining all the energy of his Divine Stages into Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    This Chaos Origin Divine Power wasn''t very pure. This was primarily because Zhao Feng had not completely fused together all his Intents.


    "If the majority of my Intents are on the same level, I will be able to perfectly link them together." Zhao Feng had noticed this problem while he was refining the Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    For example, his Metal and Lightning Intents were at Level Five and could be perfectly linked together with his Space Intent. But linking his Wood Intent, which was only at Level Four, created an imperfect fusion.


    Of course, this was also partially due to his own skill. After all, Zhao Feng hadn''t been cultivating the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique for very long.


    Currently, Zhao Feng''s goal was to bring all his Intents except Time Intent to Level Five, which would greatly boost the power of his Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng entered the five-colored crystalline palace again. The moment he appeared, he heard someone say, "Zhao Feng, I''m willing to be your servant!"


    A figure emerged and kneeled in front of Zhao Feng.


    "Who else is there?" Zhao Feng swept his eyes over the people in the palace.


    Ten-some people quickly walked out. The remainder were still hesitating; the majority of them had powerful factions backing them, such as Quasi-God Zi Feng and Quasi-God Gui Yi.


    "I need many resources for cultivation, so this crystalline palace''s properties will very quickly weaken and eventually disappear altogether," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    This palace was formed from countless Intent Crystals, and every time Zhao Feng paid a visit, he would take away many of these Intent Crystals. The five-colored palace had long ago lost many of its properties. If not for the fact that Zhao Feng was controlling it, the Quasi-Gods and True Gods inside would have escaped long ago.


    Quite a few people present inwardly rejoiced at this news. Once the structure of this five-colored palace began to fall apart, they would have a chance to escape.


    But even more people became depressed over the fact that they had immediately offered to be Zhao Feng''s servants.


    "Because this palace will soon cease to exist, I am currently deciding on a time to kill you all," Zhao Feng coldly declared.


    To him, it really didn''t matter if he killed these people or not. If these people showed some sense, Zhao Feng didn''t mind letting them live though.


    "Zhao Feng, you dare!?" The Quasi-Gods and True Gods of Violet Night Hall immediately bellowed, shock on their faces.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes gleamed as he waved a palm. A dim ball of multicolored Divine Power shot out like a steel cannonball.


    Boom! Bang!


    Chaos Origin Divine Power shot through a Rank Five True God of Violet Night Hall, killing him in both body and soul. The ball of Chaos Origin Divine Power that Zhao Feng released continued on into the crystal wall behind the True God, breaking off several Intent Crystals.


    Hisss!


    The place fell silent.


    The people of Violet Night Hall asked Zhao Feng if he dared, so Zhao Feng killed a member of Violet Night Hall. Zhao Feng was simply too powerful. For him, killing a Rank Five True God was as easy as killing an ant.


    At the same time, they knew that they had been imprisoned by Zhao Feng for a very long time, yet no one had come to save them. And not only was Zhao Feng getting along just fine, his cultivation was ascending by leaps and bounds. This made them realize that, unless they agreed to serve Zhao Feng, they might never leave.


    "I am willing to serve you!"


    "I am also willing to be your servant!"


    Under the threat of death, they all chose to make a compromise. In their view, as long as they survived, they still had a chance. In the end, even the members of Violet Night Hall bent the knee.


    Without another word, Zhao Feng brought them all to the Ancient Dream Realm and placed them under Zhao Wan.


    Zhao Wan and Zhao Wang had both succeeded in breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm. Both of them had attained Rank Five of the Heavenly Divine Realm and had solidified their foundations. Moreover, they enjoyed the status of Elders in the Blood Flame Qilin Race and received exceptional treatment, making their cultivation extremely smooth and pleasant.


    "Lord God, is there any way that we can serve you?" a member of the Blood Flame Qilin Race''s upper echelon deferentially said.


    "I require cultivation resources that I can use to comprehend Wind Lightning Intent," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    However, the Blood Flame Qilin Race did not cultivate Wind Lightning Intent, so they had very little of such resources. Zhao Feng took all that was available before leaving the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "I''ll take a look around the Spiritual Race''s Exchange Region." Zhao Feng left his palace.


    He quickly arrived at a bustling commercial area. This Exchange Region existed solely for the disciples of the Spiritual Race to trade among each other.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    Zhao Feng came here to primarily buy resources that could be used to comprehend Wind Lightning Intent.


    Zhao Feng used Five Elements Intent Crystals to exchange for these items. After all, the majority of people cultivated at least one or two of the five elements.


    Intent Crystals were extremely rare, and Zhao Feng''s Intent Crystals were of extremely high quality. The moment Zhao Feng took them out, he had many bidders and buyers.


    "I am only exchanging for cultivation resources with Wind Lightning Intent!" With this announcement, Zhao Feng began to wait.


    There was soon a stream of people coming to Zhao Feng with the resources he needed. After buying up a certain amount, Zhao Feng left.


    "That''s right¡­! The God Eye Assembly is three months later, but I don''t know where it''s being held!" Zhao Feng suddenly realized something.


    Zhao Feng knew nothing at all about this God Eye Assembly, so it was better if he asked somebody. He then wrote a letter addressed to Xiahou Wu of the Life Sacred Land.


    Upon returning to his residence, Zhao Feng discovered that Zhao Yufei was waiting for him outside.


    "Brother Feng, practice with me!" Zhao Yufei had a dazzling smile on her face.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but remember that the two of them had often exchanged pointers in the Continent Zone, helping each other to increase their strength.


    But now, the gap between the two of them was too large. Zhao Feng could casually defeat Zhao Yufei whenever he wished.


    "Suppress your cultivation to Rank Five, and you''re not allowed to use your eye-bloodline!"


    Through Zhao Yufei''s intense pleading, Zhao Feng did as she said, and the two began a practice match. But even at Rank Five strength and without his eye-bloodline, Zhao Feng was still able to defeat Zhao Yufei in just a few moves.


    "Brother Feng, how can your Divine Power still be so strong after being suppressed to Rank Five?" after fighting a few matches, Zhao Yufei asked as she gasped for breath.


    During their bouts, Zhao Feng used only the most basic form of his Divine Power, but Zhao Yufei was completely unable to stop it. And this was taking into account that Zhao Yufei had the Spiritual Race bloodline, so her Divine Power was much stronger than that of a normal Rank Five True God''s.


    "I''m already cultivating a technique for Ancient Gods and above. Even if I weaken my Divine Power to Rank Five, it is still extremely formidable," Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    His Divine Power had long ago been converted to Chaos Origin Divine Power. Even when suppressed, Chaos Origin Divine Power was essentially invincible among Rank Five True Gods.


    "I''ll definitely catch up to you!" Although Zhao Yufei was a little depressed, her fighting spirit was as high as ever.


    "Yufei, three months later, I will be leaving the Spiritual Race to experience the God Eye Assembly." Zhao Feng finally brought up the matter.


    In the beginning, the God Eye Assembly only permitted God Eye descendants to participate, but this requirement was later relaxed to anyone with an eye-bloodline.


    Zhao Yufei had apparently heard of this God Eye Assembly and knew that she could not go.


    Two months later, Zhao Feng received a letter from Xiahou Wu. The time and place of the God Eye Assembly were written on it. In addition, Zhao Feng had been invited to accompany the Life Sacred Land''s group to the God Eye Assembly.


    A few days later, Zhao Feng departed.

 1291 The Eye of Divine Punishmen

    Chapter 1291 - The Eye of Divine Punishment


    Half a month later, Zhao Feng arrived at the place Xiahou Wu had mentioned, located within an ordinary four-and-a-half-star faction.


    "Seven people." Zhao Feng detected through his left eye that, within a certain palace in this four-and-a-half-star faction, there were seven God Eye descendants.


    The person with the lowest cultivation in this group of seven was a Rank Five True God while the strongest was an elder whose skin was mottled with green dots. Other than Xiahou Wu, Zhao Feng didn''t recognize anyone.


    With Zhao Feng''s cultivation, he entered the four-and-a-half-star faction completely unhindered.


    "You''re finally here!" Before Zhao Feng even entered the hall, he was greeted by an irritated voice.


    Zhao Feng entered the hall and gave an apologetic smile.


    The time Xiahou Wu had given was actually yesterday. However, the journey was simply too far, making it nigh impossible to arrive at any precise time or date. As a result, Zhao Feng had come one day late.


    At this moment, everyone in the hall focused on him. They had all heard of his feats, but none of them had ever seen Zhao Feng.


    "I wonder which God Eye his eye-bloodline evolved from!" a young man in yellow clothes joked.


    "Since you''re here, let''s set out," the elder whose skin was covered in green spots indifferently said.


    The party of eight left, allowing the members of this four-and-a-half-star faction to breathe a sigh of relief.


    Not long after they left, Zhao Feng messaged Xiahou Wu, "Your comrades don''t seem to like me."


    "Mm. This elder probably doesn''t have a good impression of you because you refused the Life Sacred Land. As for the rest, it''s probably the sense of superiority they have from being God Eye descendants," Xiahou Wu messaged back.


    Zhao Feng nodded in understanding. All eye-bloodlines in the world originated from the Eight Great God Eyes. It was only natural for God Eye descendants to feel superior to other eye-bloodlines.


    "The Life Sacred Land only has seven people taking part in the God Eye Assembly?"


    Logically speaking, the Life Sacred Land shouldn''t have been sending so few people to this assembly of God Eye descendants.


    Zhao Feng learned from Xiahou Wu that the Life Sacred Land had many groups making their way to the God Eye Assembly, and there were even some people that were traveling alone. After all, this was an event that would go on for a very long time, so there was no need for everyone to go together. In addition, the Life Sacred Land would be acting too ostentatiously if it did that.


    Moreover, the God Eye Assembly was a relatively secretive event. Its start time was only spread through the members of the God Eye Assembly scattered throughout each zone. Thus, a few lower-level factions didn''t even know that the God Eye Assembly was happening.


    Similarly, the God Eye Assembly''s location was not fixed.


    "That''s right, what about Han Ning''er?" Zhao Feng asked. Han Ning''er was also a God Eye descendant of the Life Sacred Land.


    "Only True Gods and above have the right to participate. Quasi-Gods are not allowed!" Xiahou Wu straightforwardly said.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be surprised. He didn''t expect for the threshold of the God Eye Assembly to be so high.


    The more this was the case, the more it proved how highly regarded this assembly was. But that also meant that Zhao Feng had to be more careful.


    He didn''t know what kind of people would show up at this God Eye Assembly, so it was best if he did not carelessly reveal his eye-bloodline.


    On their journey, Zhao Feng did his utmost to suppress the God''s Spiritual Eye and the various abilities of his eye to their lowest levels.


    Ten-some days later, the group of eight came to the skies over a dangerous forbidden zone. The group continued to fly higher and higher, and when they were hundreds of thousands of li up in the sky, Zhao Feng noticed that a concealing array had been placed around a certain white cloud.


    I didn''t think the entrance would be here! Zhao Feng was internally quite shocked.


    As the group approached, the array opened on its own and allowed them inside.


    In the center of this white cloud was a round silver platform, built in a simple style. A middle-aged man whose body was bulging with muscle was standing next to the platform.


    "Welcome, members of the Life Sacred Land!" The middle-aged man faintly smiled.


    The green-spotted elder of the Life Sacred Land examined this platform.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    "Why is it a teleportation array?" The elder''s face somewhat dimmed


    The other members of the Life Sacred Land were also rather confused. The past God Eye Assemblies were held in independent dimensions accessed through a simple entrance or path.


    "For this God Eye Assembly, the Ziling Zone and another zone are holding one at the same place, so we''re using a spatial teleportation array." The middle-aged man seemed to have expected this response and quickly explained.


    Everyone was rather taken aback at this news.


    "Which zone?" The green-spotted elder seemed to think of something, and his face turned gloomy.


    "The Antian Zone." The middle-aged man smiled.


    The green-spotted elder''s expression didn''t change. It seemed like he had been expecting this answer.


    "The Antian Zone¡­." The rest of the group softly uttered this name.


    Zhao Feng had a basic understanding of the zones bordering the Ziling Zone. The Antian Zone was a major zone that was not one bit weaker than the Ziling Zone. Its overlord faction was the race ranked 12th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races ¨C the Fallen Heaven Race.


    "Teleport us over!" After inserting a large amount of average-quality God Crystals into the teleportation array, the green-spotted elder led the party onto the platform.


    Suddenly, both of the middle-aged man''s eyes began to sparkle with white light.


    "God Eye descendant!" Zhao Feng murmured in shock.


    Those two eyes belonged to one of the Eight Great God Eyes that Zhao Feng had never seen before ¨C the Eye of Divine Punishment.


    When he saw this middle-aged man''s Eye of Divine Punishment, Zhao Feng felt like a just and impartial god was judging his sins. Zhao Feng also felt like this man was extremely strong, not one bit weaker than the green-spotted elder the Life Sacred Land had chosen to lead this party.


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye suddenly sent out a warm ripple of energy. He immediately acted to retract and suppress this energy.


    The middle-aged man scanned the entire group, in the end pausing on Zhao Feng''s left eye for a few moments, before finally giving a nod.


    Zhao Feng knew that this man had acknowledged his eye-bloodline.


    Bzzzz!


    The inscriptions of the array gradually began to take form, and then white crystalline rays of light engulfed the group.


    Swoosh! The party vanished, and the array platform began to dim.


    "Truly interesting! That kid''s eye is actually stronger than the eyes of those Eye of Life descendants!" The middle-aged man couldn''t help but chuckle.


    A little while later, three figures cloaked in black robes arrived. The three people weren''t very old. There were two men and one woman. Their leader had a multi-colored right eye: the Eye of Myriad Forms.


    If Zhao Feng were here, he would have immediately recognized this man as the black-clothed person that he had seen underground on the perimeter of the Life Sacred Land traveling through the ground using Earth Escape.


    "For this God Eye Assembly, the Ziling Zone and another zone are holding one at the same place, so we''re using a Spatial teleportation array," the middle-aged man straightforwardly said.


    "Mm, we''ll go in now." The three black-robed individuals seemed utterly unperturbed.


    "Okay, let me check your identities," the middle-aged man straightforwardly said.


    By checking their identities, he meant checking their eye-bloodlines.


    Bzzzz!


    The leader''s right eye immediately underwent a variety of transformations as the natural energy of the world slowly began to gather around it. The other two members displayed the abilities of the Eye of Fate and the Eye of Death.


    After inserting some God Crystals, the trio used the array and disappeared.

 1292 Secret Exchange Castle

    Chapter 1292 - Secret Exchange Castle


    The God Eye Assembly was being held in an independent dimension.


    Overhead were golden roofbeams studded with gorgeous crystals and jewels of various colors. The surrounding walls were made of unique buildings of various sizes. Guards of profound cultivation stood outside some of the larger buildings, and the sounds of revelry could occasionally be heard from within them.


    The rest of the regions in this palace were ringed by forests, mountains, and rivers. Such pleasant scenery truly made the place seem like a fairyland.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Experts of all kinds and colors zoomed through this vast and boundless palace, some of them flying on top of large birds or using special tools.


    "This is the site of the God Eye Assembly?" The Life Sacred Land disciples couldn''t help but sigh in wonder at their surroundings.


    A few of them were participating in a God Eye Assembly for the first time. They had previously heard that each God Eye Assembly would be held at a different location. At times, it was held in a violet world of darkness, and at other times, it was held in the mysterious ocean bottom. This time''s God Eye Assembly was being held in a golden palace that had everything one could ever wish for.


    Although it was called a palace, it was at least half the size of Sky Feather Island.


    "You can see God Eye descendants wherever you look!" Zhao Feng stared in shock at those experts flying here and there.


    In the Continent Zone, bumping into even one God Eye descendant was an incredibly rare event, but in this God Eye Assembly, he could see such people all over the place.


    Of course, this was because this God Eye Assembly had gathered the people of two major zones, and the Continent Zone that Zhao Feng had once resided in was only a little bigger than Sky Feather Island. A single zone could be home to countless minor factions like Sky Feather Island.


    From this, one could see the vastness of the zones that were involved in this God Eye Assembly. For so many God Eye descendants to be gathered here was only proper.


    "All of you can do as you wish. If you encounter any problems, use your message token to get in touch with me," the green-spotted elder of the Life Sacred Land said before transforming into a streak of light to begin his own exploration.


    The terrain of every God Eye Assembly would be different, so even though he had participated in quite a few, this green-spotted elder still needed some time to familiarize himself with the landscape.


    "Brother Zhao, you don''t have the Life Sacred Land''s message token, so you should come with me," Xiahou Wu straightforwardly said.


    "Let''s go!" The remaining five Life Sacred Land disciples divided into two groups and began to explore on their own.


    "Zhao Feng, what do you need currently?" Xiahou Wu bluntly asked.


    Although he had never participated in the God Eye Assembly before, he had heard from his seniors in the Life Sacred Land that the God Eye Assembly had many iconic locations within it. These included an arena, a place to gamble on matches, a place to buy and sell information, and a place to offer missions.


    In addition to this, there was a leisure district and a commercial district. In the commercial district, one could exchange for practically anything one desired, including techniques, legacies, natural treasures, divine weapons, pets, and mounts.


    "I need soul-focused or eye-technique-focused cultivation arts, techniques, and resources," Zhao Feng directly said.


    He had already given up on the Dao of Body-Refining, so he needed to focus on developing his soul and eye.


    Moreover, Xiahou Wu had said that his eye had already reached the Quasi God Eye level, but he was still not capable of using its full power. As a disciple of the Life Sacred Land, Xiahou Wu had definitely seen a real Quasi God Eye to make such a judgment.


    "Since that''s the case, we can go and look for the Secret Exchange Castle, the Technique Exchange Pavilion, or the auction house," Xiahou Wu suggested.


    "What''s the difference between the Secret Exchange Castle and the Technique Exchange Pavilion?" Zhao Feng asked.


    He knew what an auction house was. He might find the best items there, but the prices were certain to be exorbitant.


    "The Technique Exchange Pavilion is where techniques and combat skills are sold for large-scale transactions. The Secret Exchange Castle is a place where ten-some people can make deals while hiding their identity. Neither side of the exchange can see the other, only what each side is offering." Xiahou Wu also didn''t understand very well and gave a rough summary of what he had heard.


    In the end, Zhao Feng felt like this Secret Exchange Castle was the most appropriate for him. In there, Zhao Feng could take out the precious resources from the Ancient Dream Realm or Five Elements Intent Crystals as objects to exchange without worrying about inciting someone else''s greed.


    The two flew along as they searched for the place, and it didn''t take long before they saw a massive pitch-black hall that stood out from the surrounding buildings and had large crowds going in and out.


    "That''s the mission junction. I heard that you can put up missions or bounties there, even hire assassins or bodyguards," Xiahou Wu introduced.


    "The Secret Exchange Castle!" Suddenly, Zhao Feng found through his left eye those four words written on a signboard among the countless buildings.


    It was a large, dark brown, round building. There were several hundred small paths leading into the building, each one guarded by several powerful guards.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    From a distance, Zhao Feng could see several figures come to the Secret Exchange Castle, pay a fee of God Crystals, and enter through the paths. He also saw someone leaving through a different small path.


    Xiahou Wu and Zhao Feng proceeded together toward the Secret Exchange Castle.


    "Each path can only be entered by one person!" A guard barred their path.


    This was the God Eye Assembly, so not even someone from the Life Sacred Land like Xiahou Wu dared to argue. He could only follow the rules.


    Afterward, the guard took out a round tool and placed it on Zhao Feng''s hand.


    Bzzzz!


    Seven points of light shone from the round plate.


    "Rank Seven Ancient God. Entering will require a fee of five hundred average-quality God Crystals," the guard coldly said.


    Zhao Feng was rather surprised. This fee wasn''t much to him, but it was a massive sum to an ordinary True God expert. However, Zhao Feng could see that this fee was decided based on his cultivation.


    "The fee is based on your cultivation. Your cultivation is Rank Seven Ancient God, so the people you exchange with will be around the same cultivation level," the guard casually explained.


    "Once you enter, you will enter an independent sealed domain. When the number of people inside reaches twelve, the exchange will begin. Once one round of exchanging is concluded, you can choose to remain and keep on trading." The guard explained the steps as Zhao Feng prepared to enter.


    One could only proceed forward on the pitch-black paths. The walls were made of some material that made them impervious to Divine Sense. Not even Zhao Feng''s left eye could see through the thickness of these walls.


    He quickly arrived at the end of the path: a small and spherical dimension.


    "I guess it''s fine if I wait here," Zhao Feng muttered to himself and seated himself cross-legged on the ground.


    At this moment, the entire sealed dimension lit up.


    "The exchange has begun. Please place the items for trade as well as a strand of Divine Sense into the ball of light before you," a mechanical female voice spoke.


    Bzzzz!


    A white ball of light floated in front of Zhao Feng. He wasn''t familiar with this method of trading and was still rather wary, so he decided to put in five Intent Crystals first.


    "The exchange begins." After a long while, the voice spoke once more.


    A moment later, eleven more balls of light appeared in front of Zhao Feng. Each ball of light had a different object, including herbs, weapons, books, and tools containing information.


    "These should be the objects offered for trade by the other eleven people." Zhao Feng instantly understood.


    Zhao Feng soon discovered that, if he sent his Divine Sense into a ball of light, he could examine the item and communicate with the party offering the item for exchange.


    "How peculiar!" Zhao Feng''s eyes gleamed.


    This trading method was very novel and interesting to him. Everyone trading could only see what was being traded but not who was doing the trading.


    The advantage of this method was that one could trade more troublesome objects or objects that were too precious without being worried about garnering the attention of others. But the disadvantage was that the trades were done very slowly, and it was very difficult to find what one needed.


    Zhao Feng immediately sent his Divine Sense into the first ball of light. This was a blackish-green flower that faintly exuded Soul energy.


    "Heaven Soul Bright Moon Grass, a precious treasure that has a certain chance to improve one''s eye-bloodline!" the Divine Sense that accompanied this ball of light spoke.


    It can improve an eye-bloodline? Zhao Feng was shocked.


    But Zhao Feng quickly calmed down. He sensed that these words were a mixture of truths and lies.


    "There should be a limit, right?" Zhao Feng boldly asked. In any case, he didn''t know the other party.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    "Ordinary eye-bloodlines will have a larger chance while God Eye descendants will have a smaller chance. In addition, it is also restricted according to cultivation," the stranger''s voice quickly replied.


    Upon learning of this, Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense left the ball of light and prepared to head to another. But at that moment, a Divine Sense voice resounded in his mind.


    "It seems like someone wants to trade for my five Intent Crystals." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile.


    The five Intent Crystals he had offered up for trade each had a different Intent energy, and all of them were of high enough quality to be of use for Rank Seven Ancient Gods.


    "How many Intent Crystals do you have with Wood Intent?" an elderly voice asked.


    "A lot," Zhao Feng simply replied.


    The other party then asked what Zhao Feng wanted.


    "High-quality soul resources, bloodline arts, or cultivation resources," Zhao Feng directly said.


    The secret arts and cultivation resources the other party offered were not what he ideally wanted. In the end, Zhao Feng traded for only a few cultivation resources.


    The method of trading was extremely simple. Zhao Feng could place items into any one of the balls of light, but he could only remove objects from his own ball of light.


    Zhao Feng placed the Intent Crystals into a certain ball of light. A few cultivation resources soon appeared in his own ball of light.


    After confirming that everything was there, Zhao Feng took the resources while the other party took Zhao Feng''s Intent Crystals.


    Zhao Feng sent his Divine Sense into the next ball of light. A crystalline herb of dark green hue had been placed within, exuding a vigorous Soul energy. After communicating with the other party, Zhao Feng traded some items for this herb.


    In the third ball of light, Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense saw a black crystal ball. His Divine Sense lightly touched it, immediately causing an image to appear in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "It''s a memory image!" Surprised, Zhao Feng began to carefully examine the scene in his mind.

 1293 Secret Mission

    Chapter 1293 - Secret Mission


    The image showed a gloomy and sunless space with ruins all around. The holder of this memory was swiftly traveling through these ruins.


    Because it was a first-person perspective, Zhao Feng couldn''t see the actual person. In addition, certain areas had been deliberately removed.


    Suddenly, a completely golden Yao God that looked like a giant eye with two arms charged out from a distant ruined building. The memory holder began to fight with this Yao God.


    "Death Intent and Destruction Intent!"


    Zhao Feng could conclude from the images that the owner of this memory was a descendant of the Death God Eye. As for the golden eyeball Yao Spirit, it used eye-bloodline techniques suffused with Destruction Intent. If one looked carefully, one would realize that this eyeball Yao Spirit was rather similar to the Eye of Destruction.


    In the end, the Death God Eye descendant killed the Yao God and obtained an abnormally brilliant golden crystal in the shape of a chestnut.


    "An Intent Crystal infused with Destruction Intent!" Zhao Feng had encountered a similar situation in the five elements crystalline palace and immediately guessed what was going on.


    However, this Intent Crystal infused with Destruction Intent was undoubtedly more valuable than an Intent Crystal infused with the five elements.


    Swish!


    The images blinked by, and the Death God Eye descendant arrived at a dilapidated and overgrown building.


    "A building of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Zhao Feng''s eyes brightened.


    He had once entered a city of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, so he was somewhat familiar with this style of building.


    Of course, even if these buildings had a similar style to the buildings in the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s city, that didn''t mean much by itself. One couldn''t rule out some faction having control over a few techniques and skills of the Heaven''s Legacy Race or trying to imitate its building style.


    The image blinked again, and the Death God Eye descendant was now inside this building. In front of him was a door made of violet crystal, but there was a seal on this door. The Death God Eye descendant tried for a very long time, but he ultimately failed to break the seal.


    Through the seal, Zhao Feng could faintly make out a massive pool of black water. There were many black chestnut-shaped crystals around this pool. Zhao Feng could tell at a glance that these were Intent Crystals. However, Zhao Feng still wasn''t sure what sort of Intent these Intent Crystals contained.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, the memory image vanished.


    "You''ve finished watching," a thick and muffled voice spoke.


    "What do you want to trade?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    "This is a ruin that I accidentally discovered. What you saw just now were scenes from my last exploration. Currently, I wish to invite two or three people to accompany me in venturing deeper into these ruins," the thick voice spoke once more.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled. In truth, he had already guessed that this was the case. Otherwise, why would someone put out such a precious memory?


    "I need more information," Zhao Feng said, his expression darkening. Those scenes alone did not provide enough information, but he could confirm how dangerous it would be.


    "I personally explored those ruins. Although the buildings are built in the style of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, I conjecture that they were built during the Great Ancient Era or the Ancient Era as residences for powerful God Eye descendants. After all, those powerful factions all had relationships with the Heaven''s Legacy Race and borrowed from the fruits of their knowledge. Moreover, you also know through this trading method that my cultivation should be similar to yours. Since I was able to return safely from exploring these ruins, this proves that the danger level is not very high," the person smoothly explained. After all, since he had come here to trade, he had definitely come prepared with his explanation.


    His explanation revolved around two points: profit and safety. These were the two points that bystanders cared about the most.


    "Why didn''t you go to the mission junction?" Zhao Feng asked another question.


    "If I did that, the ruins would be completely exposed. In addition, my identity means that I would be hunted down by experts. Finally, I only need two or three comrades. In this way, everyone can maximize their profits. Thus, the Secret Exchange Castle is the best way to distribute this mission."


    Zhao Feng thought for a few moments. He would not completely trust this person''s words, only take them into consideration.


    From what he could see, there truly wasn''t much danger in exploring those ruins. The fact that the holder of this memory had survived served as the best proof of this point.


    Even if he was still hiding something and it did turn out to be a little dangerous, Zhao Feng didn''t mind. This was because he was confident that his own trump cards could handle such dangers.


    In truth, Zhao Feng already intended to accept this mission. He just wanted more information.


    "I will tell you the truth. I suspect that that place was the residence of powerful God Eye descendants, because the Intent Crystals I obtained there all contained Intents related to the Eight Great God Eyes!" the voice spoke once more.


    Zhao Feng was startled. He still couldn''t completely believe this person''s words, but Zhao Feng''s own speculations told him that those ruins truly did have a chance of being the residences of God Eye descendants from the Ancient Era or Great Ancient Era.


    If that was really the case, the things stored there would probably all be related to the Eight Great God Eyes. Perhaps there would even be information on the Ninth God Eye.


    In addition, this was the God Eye Assembly. Almost all eye-bloodlines originated from the Eight Great God Eyes, so one could easily imagine what sort of benefits such ruins would have for them. The majority of people here would find it very hard to refuse the allure.


    "As I said before, I only need two or three members, and in this exchange session, five of the eleven have already agreed to accept this mission, but I still need to filter through them and select the ideal companions," the thick and muffled voice added.


    "Okay, I''ll take the mission!" Zhao Feng thought a little longer before agreeing.


    Firstly, this person still had to select the best candidates from the people that had taken the mission. Zhao Feng could obtain even more information during the filtering process.


    Meanwhile, if he noticed anything strange, he could reconsider. After all, if he didn''t go and explore the ruins, the other party couldn''t do anything about it. Zhao Feng was traveling with the Life Sacred Land and was himself a Spiritual Race disciple.


    "I need you to sign a blood contract guaranteeing that you don''t divulge this matter to anyone else," the other party requested.


    This request seemed to be meant to protect himself. Zhao Feng didn''t care and signed the contract.


    "Okay! Take my message token. Once the exchange is over, I will get in touch with you." The person placed a message token in Zhao Feng''s ball of light.


    Zhao Feng immediately took out the message token and carefully examined it. He discovered that this was the simplest sort of message token, able to send messages over a very restricted distance. He wasn''t able to find anything suspicious about it.


    Zhao Feng put the matter aside and continued to browse the other balls of light.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    "Eye-Sealing Art?" Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense paused on the item in the fifth ball of light.


    "This is a secret art that seals the abilities of an eye-bloodline!" a clear and bright female voice spoke.


    A skill that could seal the power of an eye-bloodline at a crucial moment might serve as an unexpected trump card.


    Of course, Zhao Feng had also heard of an Eye-Shrouding Art that could suppress any phenomena produced by an eye-bloodline. These two secret arts could be used together for an even stronger effect.


    "What do you need?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    The Eye-Sealing Art was exactly what Zhao Feng needed.


    "I require a spacetime eye-bloodline technique," the other party responded.


    From this, one could see that this person was an Eye of Spacetime descendant or related to it in some way.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be delighted. He had two spacetime eye-bloodline techniques, both from the Spacetime Robe.


    After judging the pros and cons, Zhao Feng decided to use the higher-level Spacetime Seal to trade.


    "Your Eye-Sealing Art is far from enough if you want to trade for my spacetime eye-bloodline technique!" Zhao Feng proudly declared.


    But the other party clearly had a burning desire for the Spacetime Seal and indicated that they would be willing to offer up more.


    Zhao Feng brought up the Eye-Shrouding Art. Coincidentally, the other party had this secret art as well, and the two sides completed the trade.


    Afterward, as Zhao Feng browsed the other items, he split off a part of his mind to roughly comprehend these two secret arts.


    After giving them a rough glance, he discovered that the Eye-Sealing Art was on a higher level while the Eye-Shrouding Art was not worth as much. This was because the Eye-Shrouding Art was restricted by its quality and could not completely shroud certain more powerful eyes.


    Zhao Feng didn''t see anything else that interested him among the other items, so he began to comprehend these two eye-bloodline techniques in the sealed dimension.


    After a long while, the exchange ended. Zhao Feng got up and entered a nearby small store. When he saw Xiahou Wu, Zhao Feng went up to meet him.


    "Well, how did it go?" Zhao Feng suddenly asked.


    "I was probably trading with Rank Seven Ancient Gods. I took a liking to some Wood Intent Crystals, but my items were of too low quality. I was barely able to trade for a few Intent Crystals," Xiahou Wu said with a smile.


    As he was a peak Rank Six, only a step from the Ancient God level, it wasn''t strange at all for him to be grouped with the Ancient Gods while trading.


    Zhao Feng''s expression froze. He recalled that, in the second ball of light, he had traded some Wood Intent Crystals, but the other party''s soul cultivation resources truly weren''t anything to talk about. It turned out that this person was Xiahou Wu!


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but quietly chuckle to himself.


    "Let''s look around elsewhere. This God Eye Assembly is truly a rare event. We can''t miss out!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    The two took a stroll and went to the Technique Exchange Pavilion.


    The techniques and arts for sale here were all related to the soul and eye-bloodlines. The only downside was that they were all extremely expensive.


    Zhao Feng actually had quite a lot of God Crystals, but as a Rank Seven Ancient God, he could not display too much wealth. Thus, Zhao Feng chose to buy only a few techniques and eye-bloodline techniques that he found suitable or interesting.


    "Let''s find an inn to rest," Zhao Feng suggested.


    There were too many capable people at this God Eye Assembly. Zhao Feng decided that it was better if he didn''t expose his eye-bloodline. Thus, he wanted to first comprehend the Eye-Shrouding Art and Eye-Sealing Art so that he could conceal his God''s Spiritual Eye.


    Xiahou Wu had done rather well on this shopping trip, so he agreed with the suggestion.


    The two then found suitable rooms for themselves and settled in.


    Swish!


    To save time, Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe Dimension to cultivate the two eye-bloodline techniques. Ten days later, Zhao Feng had proficiently grasped the two eye-bloodline techniques and was prepared to conceal his God''s Spiritual Eye.

 1294 Acquaintance from the Continent Zone

    Chapter 1294 - Acquaintance from the Continent Zone


    Zhao Feng first tried the Eye-Shrouding Art.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    As he circulated the technique, a strange ripple of energy came from his head. The luster of his eyes quickly dimmed a little. At the same time, Zhao Feng''s dazzling silver and dreamy hair began to turn black.


    But this was the extent of the transformation. Nothing else occurred.


    After a long time, Zhao Feng stopped using the technique and opened his eyes.


    "The Eye-Shrouding Art can''t conceal the phenomena produced by the God''s Spiritual Eye," Zhao Feng calmly said.


    As he was familiarizing himself with this art, he had already guessed that this would be the result. After all, Zhao Feng''s eye was already at the Quasi God Eye level and even had a chance to become the Ninth God Eye. The low-level Eye-Shrouding Art was naturally incapable of completely dispelling the phenomena of his eye-bloodline.


    Perhaps it would have been more effective when his God''s Spiritual Eye was still in the gold stage.


    Zhao Feng then used the higher-level Eye-Sealing Art.


    The Eye-Sealing Art was primarily meant for sealing off all or a part of the abilities of an eye-bloodline. However, given the power of the God''s Spiritual Eye, it was probably too much to seal it completely.


    Thus, Zhao Feng decided to seal only one thing: the Origin energy in the ball of dream-like silver within his God Eye Dimension.


    When Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye transformed into the eye of dream-like silver, the most quintessential change was the Origin energy that it could freely use. If he sealed this Origin energy, Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye would suffer a large drop in strength. It would also be much more difficult for others to sense the special nature of Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye.


    Bzzzz!


    A complicated rune formed from Chaos Origin Divine Power appeared in the God Eye Dimension, appearing like a talisman. Zhao Feng controlled this seal and attached it to the dream-like silver ball.


    Hisssss!


    As the seal approached the silver ball, the silver ball suddenly began to put up significant resistance.


    "It''s a little difficult¡­." Zhao Feng''s brow slightly creased. He was already doing his best to suppress his Origin energy.


    He had expected the Eye-Shrouding Art to not work, but if the Eye-Sealing Art failed to work as well, then he was truly a loser in that trade.


    "That''s right, I comprehended some Sealing Intent before!" Zhao Feng suddenly remembered.


    He had dabbled a little with Sealing Intent before, and as his level rose to Ancient God, this Sealing Intent had reached Level Two. Although this was a rather weak Intent, if he fused it with the sealing art, it would probably have a substantial effect.


    When he thought about this, Zhao Feng circulated his Sealing Intent and fused it into the seal. Immediately, the talisman of Chaos Origin Divine Power became stronger, the lines becoming more concentrated and condensed.


    The power of the sealing art had clearly increased, so Zhao Feng continued the sealing process. This time, the sealing art succeeded in covering the silver ball.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s silver eye gradually began to lose its luster, slowly being drained of its vitality and spirit. The same was occurring to his dazzling hair that could wave in the air on its own.


    Previously, Zhao Feng''s left eye and hair would appear strange to anyone who saw them. Now, they were no longer as conspicuous.


    Zhao Feng spent some more time in seclusion.


    Previously, for the sake of cultivating the Five Elements, Wind Lightning, and Spacetime Intents, he had given up on the extremely difficult Sealing Intent. But he was now cultivating the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, which grew stronger the more Intents one cultivated. Moreover, Sealing Intent was extremely powerful in its own right, and Zhao Feng was rather interested in it.


    Thus, Zhao Feng took out some of the God Sealing Stones and began to comprehend the Intent energy within them.


    Thirty more days passed, and it was only after he received Xiahou Wu''s message that he ended his seclusion. But in the outside world, only four days had passed.


    "The God Eye Assembly is only open for a month. We can''t waste it!" Xiahou Wu straightforwardly said.


    The God Eye Assembly''s grounds were incredibly vast, and the two had only covered a single corner.


    "Let''s go take a look at the battles between other eye-bloodlines," Xiahou Wu suggested.


    As an Eye of Life descendant, he spent most of his time in the Life Sacred Land and rarely saw other God Eye descendants. As for the strong ones, he could count them with one hand.


    But the God Eye Assembly was different; this place gathered the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes and all other eye-bloodlines. There was also a restriction of cultivation.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng nodded.


    Currently, he had given up on body-refining and chose to focus on cultivating his soul and eye-bloodline techniques. By observing other eye-bloodlines fight, he could naturally comprehend many principles and perhaps even duplicate some eye-bloodline techniques.


    Although his Origin energy had been sealed ¨C restricting his God''s Spiritual Eye''s abilities ¨C it didn''t have much effect on his duplication and analysis abilities.


    The two didn''t need to travel for very long before arriving at a large square palace from which a great ruckus could be heard.


    This was only a regular dueling ground. Inside, one could challenge whomever one wished in order to hone one''s strength, but one could also be challenged by anyone else.


    "Let''s go to the large arena. We might be able to see true experts fight there!" Xiahou Wu appeared a little excited.


    The large arena had a prize system. The more battles one fought, the greater the rewards one would acquire, so the battles taking place there were more exciting.


    The two quickly found the arena, forged from black metal and surrounded by massive sculptures of demons and gods.


    The arena had a sturdy boundary array around it. Zhao Feng reckoned that not even the green-spotted elder leading their group would be capable of breaking it.


    Boom!


    A red-and-black light shot out from the arena and slammed into the boundary array in the sky.


    "Let''s go in and take a look!" Xiahou Wu excitedly said.


    The duo paid an enormous entry fee and walked into the huge arena.


    The moment they entered, Zhao Feng heard deafening cheers and roars.


    On a massive gray stone stage, two people were fiercely battling. One of the fighters was a short-haired middle-aged man, a Rank Seven Ancient God with dark silver eyes that rippled with profound Space Intent. His opponent had an ordinary eye-bloodline, but he won out in experience and level of cultivation.


    "Extreme Space Blade!" The short-haired man''s eyes unleashed powerful Spacetime Intent and Metal Intent. The two combined into a sharp blade of silver.


    Thwish!


    The silver blade suddenly blinked out of existence. A moment later, the muscular man on the other side had his chest stabbed through in a splash of bloody light.


    He was already covered in wounds, and this grievous blow left him with no more strength to battle.


    In the end, the referee declared that this muscular man had been defeated.


    "So fast!" Zhao Feng''s heart thumped.


    This short-haired middle-aged man''s Extreme Space Blade was even faster than his Void Eye Slash, though it was a little weaker. A fighter on the same level would find it impossible to dodge unless they were already watching out for it.


    Of course, this person had the Eye of Spacetime, and the mastery of his two Intents had surpassed even Zhao Feng. Thus, it wasn''t too surprising that he was capable of using such an eye-bloodline technique.


    "Lin Chengwu''s Eye of Spacetime is very powerful. He''s already won fourteen battles in a row!"


    "Look over there! His fifteenth opponent is coming!"


    It wasn''t long before the arena staff arranged for the next competitor.


    This was a fierce and tall Ancient God expert with the head of a lion. His eye-bloodline was rather mediocre, but he was a peak Rank Seven Ancient God.


    The moment he stepped onto the stage, the stifling killing intent of one who had killed countless people began to permeate through the air.


    "It''s Meng Wu!"


    "Meng Wu originally had one bloodline, but after a fortuitous encounter, he obtained an eye-bloodline. Moreover, he''s extremely powerful ¨C almost invincible among Rank Seven Ancient Gods!"


    Those who had been to a God Eye Assembly more than once all had some impression of this lion-headed man.


    "It seems like Lin Chengwu is going to lose!" a somewhat joyful voice came from nearby.


    The nearby spectators turned to look. It appeared that the speaker had some sort of quarrel with Lin Chengwu.


    Zhao Feng also looked over and saw that this was a young man with white skin and a rather bewitching face. His two black eyes glimmered with white specks of starlight.


    However, Zhao Feng''s gaze instantly fell on the black-armored middle-aged man with a single curled horn on his head standing next to the young man. This person also happened to be scanning the crowd, and when he saw Zhao Feng, he immediately called out in surprise, "Zhao Feng!"


    "Long time no see!" Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.


    He hadn''t expected that the first acquaintance he would meet in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods would be Demigod Destruction of the non-humans.


    Back then, Zhao Feng felt that the non-human with the greatest potential was Demigod Destruction. As expected, this person had quickly come to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and was already a Rank Three True God.


    "I didn''t think I would run into you here!" Demigod Destruction coldly smiled, hostility in his eyes.


    "Zhao Feng¡­! True God Cloudbreaker, you know him?" The bewitching youth was surprised at first, and then he turned in confusion to Demigod Destruction.


    It seemed like Demigod Destruction had changed his name to Cloudbreaker after coming to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. In the Continent Zone, he was the number one descendant of the Eye of Destruction, so him being called Destruction wouldn''t cause too much of a fuss. But in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, there were too many experts with the Eye of Destruction. If he insisted on the name of Destruction, he would end up being madly hunted down by Eye of Destruction descendants.


    "Yes, Young Master Hai. We both came to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods from an outer dimension," True God Cloudbreaker deferentially said.


    "Oh? So the Ziling Zone''s Zhao Feng actually came from a low-level outer dimension?" A playful smile appeared on Young Master Hai''s face as he spoke in a jeering tone.


    Zhao Feng was somewhat taken aback. He didn''t seem to know this person, but they were already being rather hostile toward him.


    "I heard that you directly broke through into Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm, but for you to so quickly reach Rank Seven Ancient God is probably a lie made up by the Ziling Zone," Young Master Hai continued.


    The Antian Zone and the Ziling Zone were neighbors, so he had heard rumors of Zhao Feng. He had never believed that such a genius existed, and from what he could see now, it was all fake. There was no such thing as a person who could directly break through into Rank Six True God and then almost immediately become a Rank Seven Ancient God.


    And from what True God Cloudbreaker said just now, Zhao Feng had come from a low-level outer dimension, making this rumor even more unlikely to be true. In fact, he even viewed Zhao Feng with some disdain now.


    "What¡­ Rank Six, Rank Seven¡­?" True God Cloudbreaker was immediately struck dumb.


    Just now, he was planning to ask for a duel with Zhao Feng. After all, in the Continent Zone, the two were in opposing dynasties, and Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline was extremely mysterious, even suppressing his Eye of Destruction.


    Upon arriving in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he quickly attached himself to a five-star faction, where his cultivation rose by leaps and bounds. He was already a Rank Three True God.


    But Zhao Feng was an Ancient God!? True God Cloudbreaker''s face went slack. He had clearly been dealt a heavy blow.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng sensed something strange from his Interspatial Dimension. Sending his mind inside, he found that it was coming from the message token he had obtained from the Secret Exchange Castle.


    "First, I need to see your strength. If you are too weak, you have no right to be my teammate!" A deep voice came from the token.


    Zhao Feng thought for a few moments, and then he shot a glance at Young Master Hai and smiled. "Whether it''s true or false, how do you know unless you see for yourself?"

 1295 Star Eye Technique

    Chapter 1295 - Star Eye Technique


    The mysterious figure that had issued the secret mission wanted to see Zhao Feng''s strength. Thus, Zhao Feng needed a person to duel against so that the other party could see his power, and there just so happened to be someone who was begging for a lesson from him.


    "Whether it''s true or false, how do you know unless you see for yourself?" Zhao Feng smiled at Young Master Hai.


    As Zhao Feng said these words, he used the message token to send his coordinates to the other party.


    "You¡­" Young Master Hai was dazed at first, but then he began to look at Zhao Feng with arrogance and slight disdain.


    "Zhao Feng, this Young Master Hai is an extremely renowned prodigy of the Antian Zone. Although he''s not a descendant of the Eight Great God Eyes, his Star Eye is extremely formidable." Xiahou Wu had an indifferent look on his face as he messaged Zhao Feng.


    He didn''t know much about Young Master Hai, but he had a keen understanding of Zhao Feng''s strength, so he wasn''t very worried. He was just giving Zhao Feng a little warning.


    "Haha, it seems like your reputation in the Ziling Zone has gone to your head!" Young Master Hai suddenly broke into laughter.


    Even if Zhao Feng had truly managed to directly breakthrough into Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm and was now at Rank Seven, just how strong could he possibly be? Young Master Hai was extremely confident in his own power.


    "Hmph, you''re still just as rash and ignorant as ever!" True God Cloudbreaker coldly grunted, though he was actually a little happy.


    When he learned that Zhao Feng was already a Rank Seven Ancient God, all the pride that True God Cloudbreaker felt before had instantly vanished. But now, Zhao Feng was seeking death in challenging Young Master Hai, and he was rather looking forward to the sight of Young Master Hai slaughtering Zhao Feng.


    "In that case, I''ll test your skills." A sinister smile appeared on Young Master Hai''s lips.


    "Young Master Hai, there just so happens to be a gambling stage nearby," True God Cloudbreaker immediately said.


    Young Master Hai wanted to fight Zhao Feng, but this arena''s rules were not suited for their match.


    "Then let''s go." Zhao Feng had a relaxed and confident appearance


    "What''s going on? Young Master Hai wants to fight with someone from the Ziling Zone?"


    "Isn''t that Zhao Feng? Zhao Feng is going to duel with the Antian Zone''s Young Master Hai!"


    Everyone in the arena was an eye-bloodline holder from one of the two nearby major zones. Zhao Feng and Young Master Hai were both extremely famous in their respective zones, so the clash of this pair drew away a part of the crowd in the arena.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Young Master Hai set out for a gambling stage near the arena.


    In a certain part of the arena, three black-robed figures were standing together. One of them, a man with an evil face, took out a message token.


    "What a coincidence! Another person who took the mission is here as well." The man couldn''t help but chuckle.


    "Ancient God Black Extreme, your fish has taken the bait?" a man who had one Eye of Myriad Forms smiled and asked.


    Ancient God Black Extreme soon received an additional piece of information: "I am currently headed for a gambling stage nearby to fight with a Rank Seven Ancient God."


    "Mm, I''ll go first," Ancient God Black Extreme said before swiftly departing.


    ¡­


    Zhao Feng and Young Master Hai paid a fee of average-quality God Crystals and entered the gambling match area. Following them were Xiahou Wu, some of Young Master Hai''s companions, and some spectators from the arena. If not for the fact that Lin Chengwu was still fighting with Meng Wu, even more people might have shown up.


    This gambling match area had four stages in total. Two of the stages were currently occupied.


    "Gentlemen, please place your wagers!" the referee declared.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng opened his hand, revealing ten multicolored crystals.


    "These ten Intent Crystals will have enormous effects for cultivators up to and including Level Five of an Intent." Zhao Feng gave the Intent Crystals to the referee.


    "Such high-level Intent Crystals!" Even the referee''s eyes brightened as he received the Intent Crystals.


    Even the majority of Ancient Gods only had Intents around Level Five. This meant that these Intent Crystals were cultivation resources meant for Ancient Gods.


    Young Master Hai was rather taken aback. Zhao Feng had put up a truly decent wager.


    "I''m wagering a divine-level high-class eye-bloodline technique, Earthshaking Nova!" Young Master Hai proudly declared.


    His wager naturally had to be more valuable than Zhao Feng''s. Besides, he was bound to win this battle, so it didn''t really matter that he was wagering such a precious eye-bloodline technique.


    "Whatever, let''s start," Zhao Feng carelessly said.


    He had come here primarily to prove his strength to the person giving the mission. He wasn''t even thinking about what he could get from Young Master Hai.


    Young Master Hai''s brow creased, and his face slightly grimaced in displeasure. The eye-bloodline technique he had taken out was far more valuable than Zhao Feng''s ten Intent Crystals, but his opponent didn''t seem to care and appeared totally uninterested.


    "You may begin!" The referee placed the wagers on the edge of the stage and then activated the boundary array.


    At this moment, Ancient God Black Extreme, who was hidden in the ground, looked at the stage where Zhao Feng and Young Master Hai were fighting and softly murmured, "Is it him? Even though he''s not a descendant of the Eight Great God Eyes, his eye is rather unusual!"


    Ancient God Black Extreme was originally rather disappointed, but when his Eye of Death looked at Zhao Feng''s left eye, he inexplicably became a little interested.


    Kabooom!


    On the stage, Young Master Hai activated his Star Eye. His body floated into the air and was shrouded in starry light.


    "Star Flash!" Young Master Hai jeered at Zhao Feng and then vanished in a flash of starry light.


    In his view, Zhao Feng would never be able to see through such a high-level movement technique.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Young Master Hai transformed into a dim streak of starlight that rapidly moved over the stage. Its movements were extremely bizarre, occasionally making sudden turns while not slowing down at all, making it very unpredictable.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    Suddenly, the starlight turned and shot toward Zhao Feng.


    "Celestial Star Explosion!" Young Master Hai activated his Star Eyes, which began to accumulate dazzling starlight.


    Boom!


    Starlight exploded from his eyes in a dazzling and magnificent ball toward Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s body was overlaid by spatial blurs.


    Boom!


    The destructive ball of starlight passed though Zhao Feng''s body, destroying all in its path.


    "No, he escaped!" Young Master Hai grimaced.


    At this moment, he sensed a powerful ripple of Divine Power from behind him.


    Thwish!


    Young Master Hai suddenly turned and began to flee in another direction.


    A gloomy palm of chaotic light flew past him and struck the distant boundary array, unleashing a massive explosion.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two continued to exchange blows, dreadful ripples of energy sweeping across the stage.


    "Amazing! Young Master Hai is skilled in Star Intent, and his movement techniques are profound and extremely fast, but Zhao Feng is skilled in the art of Spatial Blink!" The spectators cried out in surprise and pleasure.


    "Zhao Feng is actually this strong!?" True God Cloudbreaker had a rather dejected expression.


    Someone who could exchange blows with Young Master Hai could not be considered an ordinary Rank Seven Ancient God.


    This person''s eye-bloodline techniques can attack both the soul and the body, and his movement technique is rather annoying. Zhao Feng''s expression became serious.


    "Let''s see how you run once I destabilize the surrounding space!" Young Master Hai roared, his eyes thrumming with astonishing Eye Intent. At the same time, Star Intent mixed with weak Space Intent rippled outward.


    "Stellar Flurry!" Young Master Hai''s eyes glimmered with starlight and began to madly turn.


    Images of stars large and small appeared in the surrounding space, transforming the stage into a world of stars.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, these stars simultaneously exploded, unleashing a destructive storm.


    Zhao Feng immediately condensed a shield of Chaos Origin Divine Power in front of himself while two golden wings formed behind his back. Using his Metal Lightning Radiance Wings, he swiftly attempted to dodge this attack.


    "Ha, you can''t use Spatial Blink now!" Young Master Hai coldly laughed as he shot off in a ray of starlight in pursuit.


    Star Flash was a high-speed skill that used Star Intent. It was far faster than the Metal Lightning Radiance Wings while also being unaffected by Space Intent.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" The countless tiny stars in Young Master Hai''s eyes gathered together into a white ball of starlight.


    "What a powerful eye-bloodline technique!" Zhao Feng''s face immediately chilled. At this moment, Young Master Hai was a massive star hanging over his head, ready to crush him.


    "Good, Young Master Hai is going to win!" The people from the Antian Zone cheered.


    "Haha, you could have chosen anyone to offend, but you recklessly insisted on finding Young Master Hai!" True God Cloudbreaker jeered as he inwardly rejoiced.


    "Ah, he''s not a God Eye descendant, and his eye-bloodline doesn''t seem to be very strong. It even seems like he''s going to lose. It seems like I''ll need to keep searching!" Ancient God Black Extreme sighed, a little angry.


    "Eh!?" Suddenly, Ancient God Black Extreme sensed a stream of Spacetime Intent, and his Eye of Death turned to Zhao Feng.


    "Spacetime Seal!" Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto Young Master Hai and exuded a profound and mysterious Intent energy.


    This Spacetime Intent that seemed both real and fake instantly descended on Young Master Hai. The eye-bloodline technique that Young Master Hai had been preparing to use suddenly slowed down.


    Thwish!


    By the time it was unleashed, Zhao Feng had long ago left the range of the attack.


    Brrrooom!


    The Earthshaking Nova suddenly appeared where Zhao Feng had been just moments ago. An astonishingly enormous power brutally battered the area, even causing space to slightly twist.


    "This is¡­ spacetime¡­ eye-bloodline technique!?" Young Master Hai was astonished and immediately unleashed his own Space Intent to counteract the effects.


    Based on what he understood, only Eye of Spacetime descendants could use such a profound spacetime eye-bloodline technique.


    "Chaos Origin Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated his Chaos Origin Divine Power and unleashed two massive palms of dim light.


    Young Master Hai hurriedly circulated his own energy to protect his body. At the same time, he took out a high-quality defensive divine artifact. However, the Time Intent surrounding him meant that he was struck by Zhao Feng''s attack before he had time to activate the divine artifact.


    Bang!


    Young Master Hai''s body flew backward as he vomited blood, leaving a bloody path in his wake.


    The spacetime eye-bloodline technique''s power is weakening! Young Master Hai began to stabilize his injuries.


    Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques were weakened because he had sealed off his God Eye''s Origin energy.


    "You can lose now!" Zhao Feng suddenly blinked behind Young Master Hai and unleashed several more palms of light. At the same time, his left eye crackled with a dream-like lightning flame.


    Kacrack!


    Young Master Hai was instantly shrouded in chaotic Divine Power and silver lightning flames. Young Master Hai''s body once more flew backward, and he struck the ground as a pile of mangled flesh.


    "Young Master Hai¡­ how¡­?" True God Cloudbreaker was frozen, a look of disbelief on his face.


    Xiahou Wu only chuckled; he had predicted that Young Master Hai would lose to Zhao Feng.


    "Such a profound spacetime eye-bloodline technique. Could it be an eye-bloodline related to the Eye of Spacetime?" After his initial shock, Ancient God Black Extreme began to speculate.


    At this moment, a black figure appeared by his side and spoke. "How was it?"


    "He''s not a descendant of the Eight Great God Eyes," Ancient God Black Extreme flatly said.


    "Eh!? It''s him?" A single Eye of Myriad Forms stared out of the black figure, a hint of surprise within it.

 1296 God Eye Competition Ground

    Chapter 1296 - God Eye Competition Ground


    "Eh!? It''s him?" A single Eye of Myriad Forms stared out of the black figure, a hint of surprise within it.


    "Ancient God Profound Devil, you know this fellow?" Ancient God Black Extreme was somewhat surprised. He knew very well that this group of people didn''t normally make acquaintances with outsiders.


    "A while ago, when I was escaping after snatching an Eye of Life, I ran into him and was discovered!" Ancient God Profound Devil gloomily said.


    "This kid isn''t a descendant of the Eight Great God Eyes, but he''s skilled in Spacetime Intent. If his eye was able to notice you while you were trying to conceal yourself, then it truly is rather abnormal!" Ancient God Black Extreme analyzed as a pensive look appeared on his face.


    From the outside, Zhao Feng''s eye appeared to be extremely mediocre, but this profound spacetime eye-bloodline technique and its perception ability brought it close to the eye of a God Eye descendant.


    "This person has some connection to the Life Sacred Land. He probably doesn''t know what I did back then, but just to be safe, we should bring him to ensure that nothing gets out," Ancient God Profound Devil grimly said, his eyes sparkling with cold light.


    "Then we''ll do that." Ancient God Black Extreme nodded, after which, the pair left.


    "Young Master Hai lost!"


    "Just what kind of eye does Zhao Feng have that he was able to use such a powerful eye-bloodline technique?"


    Cries of shock and alarm could be heard all around the stage. It was clearly because the battle had ended too quickly and the result was too surprising.


    "Zhao Feng wins!" the referee announced.


    The boundary array was removed, allowing Young Master Hai''s followers to rush in and help him up.


    "Young Master Hai, are you okay?" True God Cloudbreaker worriedly asked.


    "Damn, I actually lost!" Young Master Hai snarled, his face speckled with blood.


    Zhao Feng ignored Young Master Hai. Taking the wagers, he left with Xiahou Wu.


    "Young Master Hai, why don''t we have someone watch that kid? Once he''s left the God Eye Assembly, we can¡­" a youth with triangular eyes immediately suggested.


    "Idiot, he''s a member of the Spiritual Race, and didn''t you see that he was walking with an Eye of Life descendant?" Young Master Hai cursed as he gave the youth a kick.


    "What? Spiritual Race? Life Sacred Land?" True God Cloudbreaker was given another shock, and his eyes lost focus.


    In such a short period of time, Zhao Feng had managed to get into the Spiritual Race, form a relationship with someone from the Life Sacred Land, and became a celebrity of a major zone. Of course, True God Cloudbreaker had no idea that Zhao Feng was a big celebrity in the Gulong Zone as well.


    ¡­


    After leaving the gambling match area, Zhao Feng sent his mind into the Interspatial Dimension, where he received a message; "Your strength meets my standards."


    "When will we meet?" Zhao Feng messaged back.


    What he wanted to do now was obtain more information on those ruins from this mysterious individual.


    "I am currently confirming the other members of the team. I will inform you when the time comes to meet," the other party immediately replied.


    Zhao Feng put aside the matter and returned with Xiahou Wu to the arena.


    Lin Chengwu was no longer fighting. From listening around, they learned that Lin Chengwu had only managed to exchange a few blows before being defeated. After all, his opponent was extremely strong while Lin Chengwu was exhausted from his consecutive battles.


    The two stayed in the arena and watched as experts challenged each other.


    Zhao Feng split his mind between studying how these experts used eye-bloodline techniques and looking over the Earthshaking Nova technique he had obtained. Zhao Feng had sensed the power of this Earthshaking Nova in his battle with Young Master Hai and knew that it was an extremely powerful eye-bloodline technique.


    Use the high movement speed of Star Intent to create many impacts to produce an energy that can destroy all. A few moments later, Zhao Feng understood how the eye-bloodline technique worked.


    The core of it is chaos and collision, Zhao Feng inwardly muttered to himself.


    He didn''t have Star Intent, so he couldn''t use this technique as it was, but Zhao Feng was thinking that his Chao Divine Power might also be capable of doing what was required. Zhao Feng began to simulate this in his mind, attempting to modify this eye-bloodline technique so that he could use it.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    On the arena stage, a Rank Eight Ancient God was fighting, his strength extremely formidable.


    "That''s right, we haven''t seen any true peak individuals," Zhao Feng said.


    Up until now, he had only seen a few Rank Eight and Rank Nine Ancient Gods. Did the even stronger experts not attend the God Eye Assembly?


    "I hear that they gather at a place different from us," Xiahou Wu said after thinking for a few moments.


    Zhao Feng''s expression turned serious. It seemed like there were even stronger eye-bloodline experts present at this God Eye Assembly, it was just that he hadn''t met them or noticed them. Experts of that level would never mingle with ordinary True Gods.


    After observing the arena matches for three days, Zhao Feng and Xiahou Wu came away greatly enriched. The two left to continue wandering around the God Eye Assembly.


    As they journeyed, Xiahou Wu suggested to Zhao Feng that, if he wanted to know how to exhibit the power of his eye, they could go to the God Eye Heavenly Questions Hall. In there, one could pay a fee of God Crystals to ask for guidance on eye-bloodline-related questions from experts descended from the Eight Great God Eyes. If one paid enough God Crystals, one could ask for guidance from a peak Rank Nine Ancient God or even a half-step God Lord.


    Although Zhao Feng was very tempted, he decided to refuse. Ordinary Ancient Gods would be of no help to him, and anyone with too high of a cultivation might notice that he was the Ninth God Eye. Zhao Feng did not want to take that risk.


    "What''s that?" Xiahou Wu stopped and looked at an enormous castle of blue and gold.


    This building was the largest of all the surrounding buildings and was built in an imposing and extravagant style.


    "God Eye Competition Ground." Zhao Feng looked at the four golden words written on the signboard of red jade.


    Xiahou Wu indicated that he had heard nothing about this place from his seniors.


    The two decided to go into this God Eye Competition Ground.


    There were many guards by the door. After the pair paid the entry fee of God Crystals, one of the guards said, "There are many competitive games in the God Eye Competition Ground. Once a certain number of participants has been reached, the competition will begin. The winner will receive a prize."


    "So that''s what''s going on!" Xiahou Wu''s eyes shone with interest.


    Once they entered the God Eye Competition Ground, the pair appeared in a strange world. There were spatial boundaries wherever they looked. Within each of these spatial domains was a competition ground.


    The number of spectators around these spatial domains was comparable to the spectators at the God Eye Arena.


    "Zhao Feng, look over there!" Xiahou Wu pointed at a massive crystal stele set up on the edge of the competition ground.


    The crystal stele listed all the active competitions and their respective prizes. Each competition was targeted at a different cultivation level. Of course, some of the more popular competitions had multiple competition grounds so that people of different cultivation levels could participate.


    "Bluewater Heaven Lotus Fruit, high-class eye-bloodline technique, Void Spear, defensive soul art, Soul-Guarding Pagoda¡­" Zhao Feng stared in shock at the rewards listed out on the stele, his mind in turmoil.


    "What incredible prizes!" Xiahou Wu was also sighing in shock.


    "Haha, you two, this is your first time here, right?" A middle-aged man with dark skin smiled, revealing a mouthful of shiny white teeth.


    "Every competition requires paying a massive fee of God Crystals, and each competition will only start once eight people enter. The number of God Crystals paid by these eight people is normally far higher than the cost of the ultimate prize. The house can basically never lose!" The dark-skinned man seemed to have a deep understanding of this place.


    "Which means that this is an eight-man competition, and whoever wins receives the God Crystals paid by the other seven," Zhao Feng abruptly said.


    "Correct, that''s exactly what it is!" The dark-skinned man grinned and added, "In addition, the competitions here are extremely special. Normal competitors will all come out of a competition stronger than before!"


    "The Death Run has just finished!" someone suddenly said.


    At this moment, on the crystal stele, the prize for the Death Run disappeared and another prize took its place.


    Instantly, several people took off toward a spatial domain in the sky. One of them was the dark-skinned man.


    "It all seems very interesting." Xiahou Wu smiled as he nodded his head.


    At this moment, another prize vanished from the enormous crystal stele.


    Swish!


    A few more words took their place. The prize this time was Wind Intent Crystals appropriate for Level Five.


    "Wind Intent Crystals!" Zhao Feng''s eyes gleamed.


    For the five elements, he had the Five Elements Crystals, and as for Lightning Intent, he could advance using the Lightning God Crystals. However, he was lacking the appropriate resources to cultivate Wind Intent.


    Zhao Feng immediately found himself interested.


    "Batterball Court¡­." His gaze swept to the competition offering the Wind Intent Crystals as the prize.


    "Xiahou Wu, I''m going to try it out!" Zhao Feng smiled as he swept his eyes over the sky and then took off.


    Xiahou Wu nodded, his own eyes fixed on the crystal stele as he sought a competition ground suitable for himself.


    "Okay, the Batterball Court!" In the back of the crowd, a two-horned man covered in black and golden armor suddenly growled. He then sent a message through the ordinary message token in his hand.


    "The Batterball Court? He''s¡­ Ancient God Departed Spirit of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land!" Xiahou Wu stared in shock at that figure that was already rather far away.


    ¡­


    By the time Zhao Feng arrived at the Batterball Court, quite a few people had already gathered, but the majority of them were just spectators.


    "Fifty high-quality God Crystals!" a referee said with a smile.


    "Okay." After his initial shock, Zhao Feng agreed.


    The entry fee for taking part in a competition was actually in high-quality God Crystals, and an extremely astonishing number at that. However, Zhao Feng had the backing of the peak four-star faction of the Blood Flame Qilin Race back in the Ancient Dream Realm, so a trifling fifty high-quality God Crystals were nothing for him.


    After paying the fee, Zhao Feng entered the competition ground.


    There were currently five people on the Batterball Court, with three people to go.


    Two more people soon entered.


    Swish!


    At the very end, there was a black silhouette seething with intimidating Death energy.


    "Ancient God Departed Spirit!" a lofty beast with the face of a flood dragon yelped in surprise.


    The rest of the people also appeared rather afraid.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    "If I had known that he was going to show up, I would have never come in so quickly!" someone lamented.


    The man in black and golden armor stood with a dignified and majestic expression, his cold and proud eyes paying no attention to the others.


    ¡­


    On the edge of the God Eye Competition Ground was a clean and slender woman in a black robe, her eyes both shrouded in a layer of white.


    She took out a token and received a message, after which she raised her head.


    "The Batterball Court?" The woman''s eyes stopped on a certain place.

 1297 Competition Clash

    Chapter 1297 - Competition Clash


    "Eight people are here, so let''s begin. Lots will now be drawn to decide who you will be paired with," the referee entered the competition ground and announced.


    The eight people drew lots. Zhao Feng pulled number eight.


    "One will fight against two, three against four, and so on," the referee pointed at the four courts and proclaimed.


    The moment he finished speaking, Ancient God Departed Spirit flew to the first court and quietly stood.


    "I''m finished! It''s Ancient God Departed Spirit!" A large man with the head of a dragon looked like he had been struck by a lightning bolt, but he still walked onto the court. No matter what number he drew, since Ancient God Departed Spirit was here, he had no chance of winning anyway. It was just a matter of losing earlier or later.


    The people at the other courts had similarly grim expressions.


    "The four matches will run at the same time. Four people will be eliminated in this round!" As the referee loudly spoke, he took out four black balls the size of an ordinary human head.


    "I should first explain the rules of this competition. In this match, both competitors will attack this Heaven Yuan Ball. If one side is not able to hit the ball back, they will lose. Remember, you cannot directly attack your opponent, only pour energy into the Heaven Yuan Ball to attack them!"


    The referee''s explanation was very simple. Those participating in this competition had either looked through the rules already or observed some competitions previously. The rules were extremely simple.


    "Heaven Yuan Ball¡­." Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled as he stared at the ball.


    He remembered that one of the primary materials for forging a high-quality divine artifact was called Heaven Yuan Divine Iron Ore. It seemed like this ball was made of the same material.


    This kind of ore had an incredible ability to absorb energy, but it was also extremely tough. Even Rank Eight Ancient Gods would find it very hard to destroy it.


    "Kid, let''s have some fun. After all, we paid fifty high-quality God Crystals!" Across from Zhao Feng, a man with blue eyes and blue hair smiled. In his view, Ancient God Departed Spirit was bound to win, but since he had already paid so many God Crystals, he might as well have some fun.


    Zhao Feng ignored him. Even though Ancient God Departed Spirit had the Eye of Death and was extremely strong, this wasn''t a fight to the death, which meant that victory was not out of the question.


    "Begin!" the referee announced, throwing the four balls to the people at the four courts with the lower number.


    Hwooom!


    One of the black balls fell in the hands of the blue-haired man across from Zhao Feng. This man immediately began to use his bloodline, condensing powerful Wind Intent around the black ball to control it.


    "Whirlwind Blitz!" The blue-haired man''s two blue eyes began to turn, immediately creating countless tiny white blades of wind around the black ball.


    Thwish!


    The black ball shot toward Zhao Feng with the speed of a gale, covered in countless tiny blades.


    Zhao Feng hadn''t carefully reviewed the rules of the competition before entering, but through the referee''s explanation and the blue-haired man''s actions, he could guess what was going on.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng immediately sent out a palm of Chaos Origin Divine Power. A part of the Wind Intent around the black ball was scattered, while some of it was absorbed and converted to Chaos Origin Divine Power, causing the black ball to shoot back at the blue-haired man.


    "How strong!" The blue-haired man grimaced as he circulated his own Divine Power and eye-bloodline to barely block the black ball and send it back.


    "It''s over." Zhao Feng circulated a massive amount of Chaos Origin Divine Power and fired off another palm.


    Hwoooo!


    Wrapped in twisted and chaotic Divine Power, the black ball shot forward like a destructive cannonball.


    "Damn!" The blue-haired man used all his Divine Power, but he was still incapable of stopping the black ball.


    Boom! Bang!


    The black ball burst through his attack and crashed into the ground behind him.


    At the same time, on Ancient God Departed Spirit''s court:


    "Death Spear!" Ancient God Departed Spirit used his Eye of Death to surround the black ball with a pitch-black spear that exuded Death energy.


    "Oh no!" His opponent paled and didn''t even dare to receive the ball, instead dodging to the side.


    Boom! Bang!


    The black ball infused with Death Intent struck the unique floor, leaving behind a gray and shallow dent.


    "As expected, no one here is a match for Ancient God Departed Spirit!"


    "That really is Death Intent! It was actually able to damage the floor of the competition ground!"


    The two competitors on the court adjacent couldn''t help but sigh in praise.


    Everyone was so focused on Ancient God Departed Spirit that only a few people noticed that Zhao Feng had ended his match even earlier than Ancient God Departed Spirit.


    "You''re not bad." At this moment, Ancient God Departed Spirit suddenly looked at Zhao Feng and murmured.


    ¡­


    The first round swiftly ended, and the remaining four people began their second match.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Palm!" Zhao Feng pushed forward a massive palm of dim light that engulfed the black ball and swept forward.


    "How could he be this strong?" Across from him, a woman dressed in red grimaced as she hurriedly tried to respond.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Zhao Feng continuously applied his Chaos Origin Divine Power to skillfully control the black ball. Each of these attacks was extremely strong, and he used his God''s Spiritual Eye to ensure that he sent the ball at the weak points in the woman''s defense.


    After five exchanges, the woman in red was defeated. Now, the crowd finally began to notice Zhao Feng''s power.


    "Even if you beat me, you will still lose to Ancient God Departed Spirit!" the woman in red viciously said.


    "Interesting!" On the other end, Ancient God Departed Spirit defeated his opponent with overwhelming strength.


    In the first match, he had already noticed Zhao Feng''s abnormal strength. Originally, he planned to use this competition to give that mysterious mission-giver the chance to see his strength, but he had run into an opponent that he could have a decent fight with.


    "Okay, now is the time for the last match!" the referee hollered.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Departed Spirit went to Zhao Feng''s court and stood across from him, the two of them in a distant stand-off.


    "Who is that kid? His strength is not bad!"


    "He''s the Ziling Zone''s Zhao Feng. You might not have heard of him, but he directly broke through to Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm and then managed to break into Rank Seven within a year, even dealing a major defeat to Ancient God experts of the Blazing Gold Race!" a young Ancient God of the Ziling Zone immediately explained.


    "Hah, directly breaking through to Rank Six? Do you take me for a fool? And even if that was all true, if he only just became an Ancient God, then he''s no match for Ancient God Departed Spirit!"


    Some of the nearby spectators were already quarreling with each other. A portion of the Ziling Zone''s people also weren''t optimistic about Zhao Feng''s chances, but they still hoped to see Zhao Feng overcome Ancient God Departed Spirit of the Antian Zone.


    "I hope that you can play with me for a little longer than the others!" Ancient God Departed Spirit gave an intimidating smile as black fog began to surge out of his pitch-black eyes.


    "Let the match begin!" At this moment, the referee threw the ball at Ancient God Departed Spirit.


    "Death Spear!" The black fog surging out of Ancient God Departed Spirit''s eyes immediately shrouded the black ball in a layer of Death Intent, condensing into a black and lethal spear.


    Thwish!


    Under Ancient God Departed Spirit''s control, the spear carried the black ball thrusting toward Zhao Feng.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Palm!" Zhao Feng grimly launched an extremely solid palm of chaotic light.


    "It''s useless. Your Divine Power will gradually wither away against my Death Intent." Ancient God Departed Spirit softly chuckled.


    But a moment later, the black ball he had shot was blocked by Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    The Chaos Origin Divine Power bitterly clashed with the Death Divine Power, but in the end, Zhao Feng suppressed all the Death Intent.


    "What¡­ how?" Ancient God Departed Spirit was rather surprised. Zhao Feng had managed to stop his attack without much difficulty at all.


    Then Ancient God Departed Spirit realized that Zhao Feng''s Divine Power contained many kinds of Intent, all of very high level. Moreover, all these Intents were linked together, compensating for each other''s flaws to form a unique Divine Power that could dominate all.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Power alone won''t be able to deal with him!" Zhao Feng''s left eye rippled with Eye Intent.


    Boom!


    As he shot the black ball back at Ancient God Departed Spirit, Zhao Feng had his left eye unleash a purple-and-silver bolt of lightning at his opponent.


    "Soul eye-bloodline technique?" Ancient God Departed Spirit was once again rather surprised. The Soul eye-bloodline technique that Zhao Feng used was extremely powerful.


    "Death Binding!" Countless black tendrils erupted from Ancient God Departed Spirit''s eyes and twisted around the black ball. Powerful Death Divine Power began to slowly grind away at the energy around the black ball.


    "Get out there!" Ancient God Departed Spirit took control of the black ball and sent it shooting back at Zhao Feng.


    Death Divine Power rippled from the black ball, creating a mobile black hole of death. Anyone that got close to it would be swallowed up and crushed into bits.


    Truly worthy of being one of the Eight Great God Eyes. Even my basic Chaos Origin Divine Power will find it very hard to stop this! Zhao Feng remarked to himself as he once more activated his left eye, causing a weak Spacetime Intent to spread out.


    The black ball instantly began to slow down.


    This strange sight naturally attracted the attention of others.


    "Spacetime Intent!?" Ancient God Departed Spirit''s face darkened. Spacetime Intent was not one bit weaker than his Death Intent.


    Under the effect of the Spacetime Intent, the black ball very easily came under Zhao Feng''s control.


    Thwish!


    Spatial blurs appeared around the black ball, and with a blink, it was right in front of Ancient God Departed Spirit.


    "So fast!" Ancient God Departed Spirit hurriedly activated his Eye of Death.


    "Let me try out my new move on you!" Zhao Feng''s eye began to surge with Eye Intent.


    A distorted ball of chaotic light rapidly shot toward the black ball.


    Boom! Swish!


    The black ball seemed to go crazy, carried forward by this extremely unstable power. Ancient God Departed Spirit tried to use his Eye of Death to nullify the power on the black ball, but suddenly¡­


    Boom! Bang!


    The black ball exploded with unprecedented berserk power, driving away all other energy.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" Zhao Feng''s left eye returned to normal.


    At the same time:


    Thump!


    The black ball pierced through Ancient God Departed Spirit''s defense and landed on the ground behind him, creating a deep hole in the ground.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    Everyone was silent. After a long while, the crowd exploded with cries of shock and doubt.


    "Ancient God Departed Spirit lost!?"


    "I can''t believe this!"


    The match had ended too quickly, and the result was too surprising.


    In the distance, Xiahou Wu faintly smiled. He could naturally tell that the eye-bloodline technique Zhao Feng used just now was learned from Young Master Hai.


    On the edge of the God Eye Competition Ground, a black-robed woman coldly laughed. "He actually lost?"


    Although Ancient God Departed Spirit was very strong and up to her standards, he lost to a person with an unknown eye-bloodline.


    At this moment, Ancient God Profound Devil arrived.


    "How is it?" Ancient God Profound Devil whispered.


    "The members have been confirmed." The slim woman nodded.


    "Eh? It''s him¡­? Use your Eye of Destiny to look at him!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s attention was drawn to a certain part of the God Eye Competition Ground, after which he glanced at the thin woman and ordered.

 1298 God Eye Ruins

    Chapter 1298 - God Eye Ruins


    "Mm." The slim woman didn''t know what made Ancient God Profound Devil react like this, but she still agreed. With her Eye of Destiny, it was easy as could be to obtain information from an Ancient God that was not a descendant of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    Bzzzz!Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    The slim woman focused onto a point in the distance, and an Intent energy that bystanders would not be able to notice melded into the world and into the meandering river of destiny. A moment later, many hazy and illusory images appeared in her eyes.


    "Why can''t I see clearly?" Startled, the slim woman pushed her Eye of Destiny to its limits.


    But soon, the colorful images in her eyes suddenly exploded with a vast, ancient, and supreme divine light. In this holy light, the woman felt like an insignificant speck, and her soul inexplicably trembled.


    A moment later, a backlash descended upon her soul and Eye of Destiny. The images in her Eye of Destiny all vanished.


    On the other end:


    "Mm?" On the competition ground, Zhao Feng suddenly felt a pair of eyes watching him. They appeared capable of seeing into both his past and future, and Zhao Feng didn''t have the ability to stop this prying. But a moment later, in his God Eye Dimension, the sealed dreamy silver ball unleashed a burst of dazzling divine light, and the prying sensation vanished.


    The Eye of Destiny! Zhao Feng inwardly murmured to himself. He had felt this feeling before, so he could guess where it came from. He had even managed to snatch onto a barely distinct connection.


    Zhao Feng shot an almost imperceptible glance toward a certain place.


    "Hmph!" The slim woman huffed, her face ghastly pale. She immediately used a hand to wipe off the blood that had trickled out of her mouth just moments ago.


    "Let''s go," the slim woman softly said before immediately leaving.


    Ancient God Profound Devil was shocked and went after her. Ancient God Profound Devil had long ago developed a habit of choosing to believe in the slim woman''s decisions. After all, she possessed the Eye of Destiny.


    Once the two had gone a certain distance:


    "What''s wrong?" Ancient God Profound Devil immediately asked.


    "It failed!" The slim woman had a rather unsightly grimace.


    "How could that be?" Ancient God Profound Devil appeared shocked. As far as he could tell, his comrade hadn''t seen a thing.


    "He might have some kind of special divine artifact or tool that protects from the peering of destiny," the slim woman said after thinking for a while.


    For her Eye of Destiny to see nothing at all, this was the first time for her. However, she didn''t know the reason, so this was the only explanation she could come up with.


    "There are even treasures like that?" Ancient God Profound Devil became pensive. It seemed like their target had many secrets.


    "But there is one thing I can confirm; his eye has reached the Quasi God Eye level!" the slim woman solemnly said.


    "How could that be? He''s so young and his eye-bloodline isn''t even one of the Eight Great God Eyes, and yet it reached that level?" Ancient God Profound Devil was flabbergasted.


    The eye-bloodlines of his group had all been acquired, but they could use them even better than those people who were born with eye-bloodlines. But even so, only an extremely small number of people had managed to reach that level, after which their statuses were raised and they disappeared.


    "This is perfect. He''s one of our targets this time, so perhaps our superiors will be interested in his eye." Ancient God Profound Devil suddenly broke into a cold smile.


    "The members are almost all here. All of you should start moving. I need to rest for a few days¡­." The thin woman had a gloomy look on her face as she left.


    ¡­


    Back in the God Eye Competition Ground:


    "Congratulations. You''ve won! The prize is fifty Wind Intent Crystals!" The referee had already prepared the prize, which he now gave to Zhao Feng.


    "Fifty!?" Zhao Feng was taken aback. He hadn''t expected it to be so many.


    In truth, if he had just one, he could use his God Eye to duplicate many more. But his Origin energy was currently sealed, which would probably place a large restriction on his duplication ability.


    But it''s lucky that it was, otherwise that person might have found something out back there! Zhao Feng thought to himself.


    The Eye of Destiny had to be guarded against!


    "Damn, this kid¡­!" Ancient God Departed Spirit stared at Zhao Feng with sinister and terrifying eyes.


    He had accepted a mysterious mission, and the other party wanted to see his strength. However, he lost to someone in this competition. He might have lost his chance at this important mission.


    At this moment, Ancient God Departed Spirit''s brow rose as he sent his mind into his Interspatial Dimension and received a message. Ancient God Departed Spirit exhaled in relief; his strength had reached the other party''s requirements.


    "Kid, let''s duel again some time!" After saying this, Ancient God Departed Spirit left.


    The crowd stared at Zhao Feng in shock. They all originally believed that Ancient God Departed Spirit''s victory was certain, but in the end, even Ancient God Departed Spirit was defeated.


    After receiving his prize, Zhao Feng left the competition ground.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t butt heads with Ancient God Departed Spirit. Although you won in this competition, it''s hard to say how an actual battle would turn out. After all, he''s an expert in Death Intent. It''s better to not provoke him," Xiahou Wu suggested.


    "I need some precious cultivation resources, so I plan to go around to various places to collect them." Zhao Feng nodded his head and spoke.


    "Then we''ll part for now!" Xiahou Wu naturally heard the unspoken meaning in Zhao Feng''s words.


    The two split up. Xiahou Wu seemed very interested in the God Eye Competition Ground and decided to remain.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng transformed into a streak of light and flew to the meeting place.


    In actuality, after the competition ended, Zhao Feng received a message from the mysterious person giving the location where they could meet. This was why Zhao Feng was in such a rush to leave.


    When he took the mission, he signed a contract that forbade him from leaking the matter, so he could only lie.


    He quickly arrived at a high-class inn surrounded by picturesque scenery. Zhao Feng entered, found an ordinary room, and knocked on the door.


    "Please enter." A deep voice came from inside, and Zhao Feng pushed open the door and entered.


    The room was gloomy and lit with a few extremely dim lights. This appeared to be some kind of special isolated domain.


    But this didn''t affect Zhao Feng''s vision. There were three people in the room. One was as young lady of exquisite beauty, one was a short-haired middle-aged man with an aloof face, and the last was a black-clothed young man with a pair of pitch-black and sinister eyes.


    "This is the last person?" a soft and gentle woman''s voice sounded through the room as the lady turned to look at Zhao Feng together with the short-haired man sitting next to her.


    "His strength should be fine," the lady paused on Zhao Feng''s eye for a few moments and tactfully said after realizing that he didn''t have one of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    "It''s the Ziling Zone''s¡­ Zhao Feng!" the short-haired man looked at Zhao Feng for a while before stating.


    "Mm." Zhao Feng nodded.


    This short-haired middle-aged man was the person he had seen at the arena, Lin Chengwu. He might have recognized Zhao Feng due to his fame, but it also might have been because of Young Master Hai.


    The beautiful lady appeared unmoved. She clearly didn''t know who Zhao Feng was. However, since Lin Chengwu knew who Zhao Feng was, then Zhao Feng was certainly not some nobody, so she had nothing to say.


    "I am Ancient God Black Extreme, the person who issued the mission," the man with pitch-black eyes indifferently said. He then simply introduced the members of the group.


    "Since you''re all here, I believe that all of you should be hoping to travel with me to explore the ruins," the black-clothed Ancient God Black Extreme said.


    This allowed Zhao Feng to immediately confirm that this truly was the person who had given them this mission.


    "Let''s get to the point." The beautiful lady softly chuckled.


    Lin Chengwu nodded his head. Just like Zhao Feng, he didn''t completely trust Ancient God Black Extreme. He had come here to get more information so that he could make the final decision.


    "Then I''ll speak frankly. I suspect that place to be the ruins of an Eight Great God Eye descendant''s residence from the Ancient Era or Great Ancient Era. I explored that area alone before, and the dangers encountered were something I could passably handle," Ancient God Black Extreme slowly said.


    The three others in the room slightly frowned in silence.


    "Of course, there are dangers inside that are more than I can deal with alone, so I avoided them. If the four of us go together, the four of us can decide if we want to explore those more dangerous areas. As long as we''re cautious and retreat as soon as we run into any danger we can''t deal with, we shouldn''t run into any problems," Ancient God Black Extreme''s face darkened as he added.


    "What faction do you belong to? Why didn''t you report this matter to your faction?" Lin Chengwu suddenly asked.


    Ancient God Black Extreme appeared to come from an extremely unusual faction ¨C one they had never seen or heard about ¨C so he was rather curious about it.


    "It is a secret faction of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods that is not small, but I can say no more. If I reported these ruins to the faction behind me, what I would gain would be much less than if we searched the place together!" Ancient God Black Extreme''s lips curled into an avaricious smile.


    "If that''s the case, then you could just slowly explore the place on your own. Why invite us?" The beautiful lady''s eyes sparkled.


    "The dimension those ruins reside in is getting more unstable. It probably won''t be long before it''s exposed to the world. This is why I decided to invite all of you so that we can extract as much as we can from those ruins before they''re exposed," Ancient God Black Extreme nonchalantly said.


    They continued to converse, with Zhao Feng asking a few questions of his own.


    "How is it? Accept or give up?" Ancient God Black Extreme faintly smiled at the three.


    "I''ll go!" Lin Chengwu was the first to reply.


    The beautiful young lady also chose to accept. They were both extremely interested in these ruins left behind by descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes that Ancient God Black Extreme spoke of.


    "I have no problems." Zhao Feng stated his own stance.


    Based on what he could understand, there weren''t many problems with this mission, and the risks were not that great.


    The group decided on a time to set out and then left.


    Once they were all gone, the room regained its brightness, and a faint aroma began to drift in. After a long while, the door to a room not far away opened.


    A lively and gleeful girl dressed in green jumped out. Her skin was glossy and white while her face was gorgeous and made her seem quick-witted. Her white eyes were bursting with life, innocent and pure.


    The moment she appeared, she immediately drew the attention of all the men nearby. But then their eyes went wide, their faces becoming shocked and enchanted. This was because a tall woman dressed in white had walked out of the room as well. She had a waterfall of black hair and a face beautiful enough to make geese fall from the sky. Her serene and wise white eyes seemed to be able to see all things in the world.


    She silently stood in front of the door like a noble fairy in a painting, causing the hearts of the onlookers to waver and thump. In comparison, the beautiful young girl seemed to have lost all her radiance.


    "Big Sis Qin, you said that you were waiting here for someone, but we didn''t see anyone yet, so why are we leaving?" the cute and vivacious young girl asked.


    "We''ve already seen them. The matter is finished, so we should go back." The woman in white calmly smiled.


    "Is that so? Sister Qin''s Eye of Destiny is getting more and more mysterious!" The young girl''s two eyes looked upward in confusion as she somewhat enviously spoke.


    These two breathtakingly beautiful young women soon took their leave.

 1299 Eye Yao God

    Chapter 1299 - Eye Yao God


    After leaving the inn, Zhao Feng began to casually stroll around the God Eye Assembly. After buying a few cultivation resources he required, Zhao Feng found Xiahou Wu and informed him that he was leaving early.


    Xiahou Wu was quite taken aback by this news, but when he saw that Zhao Feng was providing no further explanation, he decided to not pry any further.


    Zhao Feng then returned to his own inn room and entered the Spacetime Robe Dimension to cultivate for a spell.


    One day, he received a message from Ancient God Black Extreme and prepared to leave.


    The God Eye Assembly was held in an independent dimension, so he naturally had to leave through a teleportation array. But in order to avoid a large crowd forming as the God Eye Assembly approached its end date, there were many teleportation arrays available that could be used to travel to either of the two zones.


    Before Zhao Feng had even entered the teleportation hall, he saw Ancient God Black Extreme and the others.


    "Let''s go!" Ancient God Black Extreme said as soon as Zhao Feng arrived, and the party disappeared in the light of a teleportation array.


    A moment later, the group of four appeared in the sky over a swamp in the Ziling Zone.


    "The ruins aren''t far from here," Ancient God Black Extreme said and began to lead the way.


    The party swiftly traveled, and after traveling for ten-some days, they arrived at a vast and primeval forest.


    "This is the place," Ancient God Black Extreme announced.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    Zhao Feng, Lin Chengwu, and the beautiful young lady mentally trembled. They were about to enter the God Eye ruins! If they encountered any sort of fortune inside, their eye-bloodlines would receive massive boosts in strength.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Black Extreme burrowed into the earth, with Zhao Feng and the others following close behind.


    After descending a certain distance, Ancient God Black Extreme took out a black stone plate covered in mysterious runes. Everyone could recognize these runes as the language of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    Ancient God Black Extreme chanted a spell as he poured in his Divine Power, and then he slapped the black plate, which unleashed a layer of black light.


    Brrrooom!


    The earth suddenly trembled as an enormous surge of Space Intent arose from nearby.


    "A concealment array!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    Ancient God Black Extreme poured in even more energy, causing tiny tadpole-like inscriptions to appear on the stone plate.


    Hwooom!


    A spatial fissure slowly began to emerge from the area of spatial distortion.


    "Tearing open space?" The young lady was rather alarmed.


    "I said before that this dimension was very fragile. Someone with too high a cultivation might not be able to enter, but it''s not too difficult to use a special tool to create a crack," Ancient God Black Extreme immediately said.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The black stone plate continued to send out surges of white wriggling characters.


    "Open!" Ancient God Black Extreme sent another stream of energy into the black plate.


    The small spatial fissure immediately widened. A few moments later, a path large enough to accommodate a single person opened up.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Only after Zhao Feng and the other two entered did Ancient God Black Extreme hurriedly rush in.


    The moment everyone entered this strange dimension, they sensed a chaotic and oppressive air that caused them to hold their breaths. This was a gloomy and lightless place covered in a thick fog. Piles of stone in varying sizes could be seen all around. Divine Sense was hindered by the gloomy fog, and even their naked eyes could see farther.


    "We''re currently on the perimeter of the ruins. There are basically no treasures to be found here." After saying this, Ancient God Black Extreme began to lead the party farther in.


    Swoosh...


    They flew into the air, all of them a little impatient.


    "Get down!" Ancient God Black Extreme suddenly blurted out.


    "What''s wrong?" The beautiful lady slightly frowned.


    The one that worried her the most in this party was Ancient God Black Extreme, and she was extremely wary of him.


    "Even though this is just the perimeter, there are still many Yao Gods around. They might not be very strong, but there are a lot of them, and all of them have ruthless personalities," Ancient God Black Extreme immediately said.


    At this moment, several powerful ripples of energy emerged, responding to the party''s sudden flight.


    "Creatures from outside! Kill them!"


    "It''s been a long time since I''ve eaten any meat!"


    All of them could hear excited and cruel roars in the distance. A few moments later, several variously colored Yao Gods in the shape of massive eyes charged out of the ruins, flying toward the group in a mad frenzy.


    "What are you afraid of? These are all low-level Yao Gods!" The beautiful girl landed and softly growled. In addition, by defeating these Yao Gods, they could get the Intent Crystals inside them.


    "Can those low-level Intent Crystals compare to the treasures in the center of the ruins? Even if you want to kill them, you should at least hunt the Rank Seven Yao Gods!" Ancient God Black Extreme icily rebuked, his expression dark.


    At this time, there were already eight Yao Gods around the group, all of them maintaining a certain distance. Of these eight Yao Gods, one was similar to the Eye of Death. It was the most powerful at Rank Six, but the rest of the Eye Yao Gods were on the weak side.


    Boom! Swoosh!


    All the Yao Gods began to launch eye-bloodline techniques at the party of four. Instantly, rays of light, ice, fire, and attacks both physical and mental shot toward the party.


    "Leave them to me." The beautiful girl snorted as her apathetic eyes began to thrum with Eye Intent, becoming dim and borderless as a black circle slowly emerged within them.


    It was clear that she had been using a secret technique to conceal the phenomena produced by her eye-bloodline.


    "The Eye of Samsara¡­." Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    None of the members of this group was a push-over. This young lady had the Eye of Samsara, meaning that she had many battle puppets under her command. Zhao Feng had also witnessed Lin Chengwu''s strength before and knew that he was very strong.


    But the one that Zhao Feng feared the most was still Ancient God Black Extreme and his Eye of Death.


    Bzzzz!


    The young lady''s Eye of Samsara slowly spun to life, and a dark yellow Intent energy rippled forth.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three puppets of various shapes rushed out of her eyes, all of them with an ever-reincarnating body!


    The moment these three puppets appeared, they unleashed powerful combat skills that blocked all incoming attacks.


    "Let''s go! Leave this place to them," the woman said.


    All of them understood what she meant. Samsara meant an undying and inextinguishable body. Even if these puppets were all killed by the many Yao Gods, the woman''s Eye of Samsara would revive them. Besides, these undying bodies were just Rank Five or Rank Six True Gods.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Black Extreme continued to lead the way while the rest followed.


    A light red Eye Yao God prepared to attack the party.


    "Spatial Flash Blade!" With just a simple glance from Lin Chengwu, a translucent blade of white crystal obliterated the Yao God.


    The party continued on, concealing their energy as they navigated the terrain.


    Ancient God Black Extreme had explored the area before, so he was very familiar with the route and was able to avoid the areas where Yao Gods tended to gather.


    Despite this, the party still managed to alarm a few Yao Gods. However, the moment these Yao Gods appeared, Lin Chengwu would use his Eye of Spacetime to immediately slay them.


    Suddenly, an explosion came from one of the ruins behind them as a large dark purple eye emerged.


    Everyone turned serious; this Yao God had the energy of a peak Rank Six.


    "All intruders will die!" The dark purple Yao God attacked Zhao Feng, who was at the back of the group.


    The other two members of the party said nothing. Neither of them gave Zhao Feng much regard.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye spun with dreamy mist as Illusion Dao energy began to suffuse his surroundings. A moment later, the ruthless Yao God came to a stop.


    "Illusion Dao eye-bloodline technique!?"


    Everyone was alarmed, but no one was more surprised than Ancient God Black Extreme. The intelligence report said that Zhao Feng''s eye was skilled in perception and spacetime eye-bloodline techniques, so this powerful illusion technique left him greatly startled. Eye-bloodlines usually developed in just one direction, but Zhao Feng''s eyes seemed to be multi-talented.


    Several days later, Ancient God Black Extreme began to slow his steps.


    "Okay, we''re approaching the center of the ruins!" Ancient God Black Extreme stopped.


    They were now surrounded by large-scale ruins ¨C vast and dilapidated buildings.


    Heaven''s Legacy Race buildings, but also related to the Eight Great God Eyes! Zhao Feng''s expression turned dim.


    He had once entered a Heaven''s Legacy Race city and was very well-acquainted with the style of architecture. From what he could see, these buildings had been personally constructed by the Heaven''s Legacy Race, but the surrounding Yao Gods clearly connected this place with the Eight Great God Eyes. This left Zhao Feng''s mind bursting with questions.


    "When I was exploring this place, I noticed three areas with treasure, but I didn''t have the ability to investigate them any further," Ancient God Black Extreme whispered.


    He then used images to show the current circumstances around the three treasure grounds.


    The first was the black pool that Ancient God Black Extreme had shown to Zhao Feng in the Secret Exchange Castle. Many black-colored chestnut crystals were floating on its surface.


    The second place was a broken-down building awash with a strange aroma. Ancient God Black Extreme had sensed a Rank Seven Yao God inside before he even got close, so there were probably even stronger existences farther inside.


    The third area was a massive metal building that pulsed with strange ripples of energy. Extremely powerful Yao Gods prowled the area around it.


    In the end, the group decided on the first area. The danger of that area was the smallest.


    "Okay!" Ancient God Black Extreme faintly smiled and began to lead the way.


    Zhao Feng was warily keeping a watch on his surroundings, including his teammates.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng focused his gaze into the distance.


    "Eh!?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but pause, a look of shock on his face.


    "What''s wrong?" the beautiful lady in front of him immediately asked.


    "There''s someone in that direction!" Zhao Feng whispered, his expression stern.


    The other three immediately shivered at these words. There was someone else here besides the four of them?


    After the initial shock, the lady and Lin Chengwu turned with extremely hostile gazes to Ancient God Black Extreme.


    "What are you looking at me for? I was the one who brought you here. Why would I spread the news about these ruins so that others could explore it?" Ancient God Black Extreme had an innocent look on his face.


    "Zhao Feng, you might have made a mistake. The light here is dim, and Divine Sense is hindered!" Ancient God Black Extreme looked at Zhao Feng, a coldness in the depths of his eyes.


    The lady and Lin Chengwu appeared somewhat relaxed, and they too looked in the direction that Zhao Feng had spoken of. Chaotic streams of energy drifted through the air here, disturbing Divine Sense, so it was better to look with one''s eyes. As God Eye descendants, they all possessed superior vision, but they saw nothing.


    The lady and Lin Chengwu now viewed Zhao Feng with much more wariness.


    "Perhaps that''s the case!" Zhao Feng felt rather aggrieved, but this was all he could say.


    His left eye possessed an extremely powerful see-through ability and long-distance vision, and these abilities had been further increased after the God Eye transformed into a silver ball. He could now see three to four hundred thousand li.


    The party continued forward, but everyone was inwardly uneasy and suspicious.


    As expected, it wasn''t that simple! Zhao Feng had a gloomy face as he became even warier than he was before.

 1300 Death Dimension

    Chapter 1300 - Death Dimension


    After a period of time, the party appeared in front of a run-down building that was as tall as a mountain. Just the sight of this shattered and dilapidated building was enough for them to imagine just how vast and grandiose it was when it was still whole.


    Ancient God Black Extreme led them to a small cave that went underground. At the start, the path was narrow, and the walls were made of metallic stone. But after traveling for a little while, the walls were made of gray crystal.


    "These ruins might have been destroyed, but the areas under the ground managed to remain well-preserved!" The lady''s eyes sparkled.


    Zhao Feng was using his eye to carefully observe every inch in front of him. The walls were made of extremely sturdy materials that not even a punch from him could damage. The walls also acted as a significant obstacle to Divine Sense. But Zhao Feng was thinking more about just what sort of person would be able to wreck such a vast and sturdy building into its current state.


    "This building should have been built by the Heaven''s Legacy Race, so why haven''t we run into any arrays or traps?" After a long while, Zhao Feng finally asked a question.


    The lady and Lin Chengwu showed hints of confusion. They had heard many things about the cities of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and what they left behind. Other than some more opened-up regions, the rest of the places were protected by traps and arrays that made them very difficult to traverse for outsiders.


    "I''m skilled with traps and arrays, and I''ve already undone the traps on our route," Ancient God Black Extreme flatly said.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please clickfor visiting.


    Lin Chengwu and the beautiful lady were rather surprised. Ancient God Black Extreme knew the traps of these ruins more than anyone else, so they had to be wary of him.


    The party quickly arrived in front of a door made of violet crystal.


    A faint purple boundary array sealed the entrance. Through the boundary array, one could clearly see a vast space with walls of silver-gray. In the center was a black pool of water from which black chestnut crystals would occasionally emerge.


    The array prevented any of them from sensing any energy, so none of them could determine what the black water actually was, but those black chestnut crystals were probably Intent Crystals.


    "This boundary is one of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s arrays. I know how to undo it, but it was difficult for me to do alone. Now that all of you are here, breaking this array shouldn''t be difficult." A smile appeared on Ancient God Black Extreme''s sinister face.


    "How do we do it?" the lady immediately asked.


    Ancient God Black Extreme explained his method to the rest of the party. This boundary was formed from both mechanisms and an array. Ancient God Black Extreme could only handle one of them, so he could not undo the boundary alone.


    "Once I undo the mechanism, the three of you need to attack the three critical points of the array."


    After saying that, Ancient God Black Extreme took out his black stone plate and began to undo the mechanism. The three others were tasked with one point each of the array.


    Bzzz! Swoosh!


    Countless tiny characters surged out of the stone plate and into the door of violet crystal. The blurry inscriptions around the door immediately began to flash with dazzling light.


    A rumbling came from within as the array seemingly began to weaken. At this moment, the three simultaneously attacked.


    Boom! Bang!


    The array shattered, causing a thick Death energy to rush out. This Death energy alone was enough to kill a Rank One True God.


    "This pool contains Death Intent, which means those are Death Intent Crystals." The young lady was rather disappointed, but she still entered the chamber.


    Even though Death Intent Crystals were useless to her and Lin Chengwu, these were extremely high-level Intent Crystals, and Death Intent Crystals were extremely rare to begin with and thus extremely valuable. They could be traded for a large number of Intent Crystals that the two of them could use.


    As the party entered, Zhao Feng and Ancient God Black Extreme hung back a little.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the black water in the pool erupted, and powerful Death energy soared up and swept through the chamber. The woman, who was closer than the rest of the party, had many parts of her body splashed by this black water. These parts immediately began to gray and wither, damaging her beauty.


    Lin Chengwu saw this and used his profound Space Intent to dodge the water.


    "Damn!" The woman immediately grimaced. Death Intent was extremely special, so even with her Samsara Body, she would find it very difficult to swiftly repair the corrosion caused by Death Intent.


    "You seek death by daring to intrude upon this place!" A furious roar suffused with Death energy echoed through the chamber.


    A massive black eye slowly emerged from the black pool of water. On this eye were many ghastly white spots that seemed to be pulsing.


    This eye was in the form of the Eye of Death, eighty percent similar to the real deal.


    The black eye had several black tentacles around it that extended into the pool.


    "Even a Rank Seven Yao God dares to act so brashly!?" The woman was rather angry, her eyes unleashing a dark yellow mist from which an Ancient God Samsara Immortal Body emerged.


    "This is basically an Eye of Death with intelligence!" Lin Chengwu''s eyes glowed with a sharp light.


    Everyone knew that Yao Gods were born according to their environment and the special objects within it. The Yao Gods of these ruins were all in the shape of eyes, and this Yao God could essentially be considered a giant Eye of Death!


    They all couldn''t help but wonder what sort of secret regarding the Eight Great God Eyes was hidden within these ruins that this place could produce so many Eye Yao Gods.


    "Everyone together! Attack from a distance! Don''t get close!" Ancient God Black Extreme called out.


    All of them understood Ancient God Black Extreme''s meaning. The black water in the pool contained Death Intent, which could harm even an Ancient God.


    "Spatial Flurry Blade!" Lin Chengwu''s two eyes gleamed with silver luster, condensing countless white crystal blades around him.


    Swooosh!


    An endless number of white blades immediately began to hack at the Eye of Death Yao God''s body.


    "Black Torrent Extreme Light!"


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Ancient God Black Extreme and Zhao Feng attacked with their own eye-bloodline techniques.


    On the other end, the Samsara Immortal Body the woman had summoned took out a golden sword and unleashed several massive waves of light.


    Awoooo!


    The various attacks, containing both physical and mental assaults, caused the Eye of Death Yao God to scream and its body to dim.


    "Unforgivable!" The Eye of Death Yao God was infuriated and lashed out with Death energy.


    Other than Ancient God Black Extreme, the others used their Divine Power to fend off these attacks.


    Boom!


    The Eye of Death Yao God''s energy suddenly soared as if all its injuries had been healed. At the same time, the massive Eye of Death fired off several thousand thin black strands.


    Swish!


    These black strands struck the surrounding walls, gouging dark dents into them.


    Swish! Swish!


    Lin Chengwu and Zhao Feng blinked back and forth through the chamber, easily dodging the black strands.


    "You also know Spatial Blink?" Lin Chengwu was flabbergasted.


    On the other side, the beautiful woman summoned many Samsara Immortal Bodies to protect her.


    As for Ancient God Black Extreme, he was a Death God Eye descendant, so he was the only person able to directly contend against these Death energy attacks.


    "All of you have probably noticed that this Yao God can absorb the energy in the pool of Death Liquid. Unless we can instantly kill it, it will be able to very quickly recover," Ancient God Black Extreme hurriedly said.


    The rest of the party nodded. They had also noticed this, but there was nothing they could do. Even touching the water in the pool was deadly. Moreover, the value of this water was equivalent to the Death Intent Crystals inside it. It was a perfect material for Death Intent cultivators to cultivate with, and they weren''t willing to give up on such a resource.


    In addition, this metal chamber had a path in the back, but it was covered in mechanisms and arrays. If they wanted to get through that path, they needed to be extremely cautious. If this Yao God interfered, they might end up dying to the traps.


    "I have a plan. I can move this Death Liquid elsewhere!" Ancient God Black Extreme suddenly gave a wicked smile.


    "Impossible!" Lin Chengwu immediately rejected the idea. A few moments ago, he had tried to use Space Intent to move the Death Liquid out of the pool, but the moment his Space Intent entered the pool, it was destroyed by the Death Intent. The instability made it impossible for any transfer to succeed.


    "Have you forgotten that the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes all have an Origin Dimension? And my Eye of Death''s Origin Dimension is a Death Dimension. Its very nature is suffused with Death Origin energy," Ancient God Black Extreme explained.


    As they listened, the rest of the group immediately realized that the plan was plausible.


    However, the woman and Lin Chengwu continued to hesitate. Ancient God Black Extreme was the only member of the party with a Death Dimension, meaning that he was the only one able to hold the Death Liquid. They would be letting Ancient God Black Extreme take as much of this precious cultivation resource as he pleased, and they were naturally unwilling to accept this result.


    "All of you suppress it while I move this Death Liquid into my Death Dimension!" Ancient God Black Extreme gave a sinister chuckle.


    He then activated his Eye of Death, creating a powerful suction that began to draw in the black water in the pool. The woman and Lin Chengwu remained silent, giving their tacit approval to this plan.


    "Slow down!" Zhao Feng suddenly spoke.


    "What? You don''t agree with my plan? I''m thinking about the whole party with this plan, and besides, none of you can take away this Death Liquid." Ancient God Black Extreme sneered.


    "I am completely in agreement with the plan," Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    "Then what are you¡­?" Ancient God Black Extreme was a little angry. If Zhao Feng agreed, then why he did tell him to slow down?


    Before he could finish speaking, a cold and black figure appeared at Zhao Feng''s side. This figure clearly had an Eye of Death as his right eye.


    "Zhao Feng, you told someone else about this place!?" After a few moments of shock, Ancient God Black Extreme suddenly roared.


    Lin Chengwu and the beautiful woman also stared at Zhao Feng in surprise.


    "Hmph, we signed a blood contract. If I had divulged the matter to another, would I still be standing here unharmed?" Zhao Feng disdainfully stared at him.


    The others nodded. This truly was the case, so why¡­?


    "He''s my clone." Zhao Feng cleared up their confusion.


    "A clone can also have the Eye of Death? It seems like your cloning technique is very unique!" The beautiful woman''s eyes were ablaze with curiosity toward Zhao Feng''s cloning art.


    Bzzzz!


    At this moment, Zhao Wang imitated Ancient God Black Extreme in using his Eye of Death to absorb the water in the pool.


    Hah, a mere Rank Five True God probably can''t hold this level of Death Liquid in his Origin Dimension. Is he not worried about damaging his Origin Dimension? Ancient God Black Extreme mentally jeered.

 1301 A Powerful Race Gets Involved

    Chapter 1301 - A Powerful Race Gets Involved


    Hah, a mere Rank Five True God probably can''t hold this level of Death Liquid in his Origin Dimension. Is he not worried about damaging his Death Dimension? Ancient God Black Extreme mentally jeered.


    Even he didn''t dare to absorb the Death Liquid too quickly. After all, his Origin Dimension was linked to his Eye of Death. If it was damaged, it would be the same as his Eye of Death being heavily damaged.


    But a moment later, Ancient God Black Extreme''s face froze. Zhao Wang''s eyes began to madly spin to life, sucking up the Death Liquid from the pool like a giant vortex. This absorption speed was quite a bit faster than Ancient God Black Extreme''s.


    What¡­ how? Is he really not afraid of death? Ancient God Black Extreme''s body was stiff, his mind reeling.


    On the other end, Zhao Feng, Lin Chengwu, and the beautiful young lady firmly suppressed the Eye of Death Yao God.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Lin Chengwu and the lady also noticed that Zhao Wang was unusual, but compared to Ancient God Black Extreme, they hoped that Zhao Wang would be able to absorb the majority of the Death Liquid.


    "Ancient God Black Extreme, why are you so slow? You''re even slower than Zhao Feng''s clone!" The young lady giggled, causing Ancient God Black Extreme to pale.


    Zhao Wang faintly smiled. Although he had only recently become a Rank Five True God, the Staff of Death Curse, the high-level resources of the Ancient Dream Realm, and the guidance of various experts had already brought him to the peak of Rank Five, not far from Rank Six. The current him had already obtained the basic acknowledgment of the Staff of Death Curse and was able to exhibit a portion of its power.


    Within the Death Dimension, each drop of Death Liquid would naturally flow to the Staff of Death Curse, circling around before flowing into the staff.


    The Staff of Death Curse had been sealed under the God Sealing Stone stele for many years and had lost much of its power. This Death Liquid served as an ideal supplement.


    As it absorbed the Death Liquid, the Staff of Death Curse would lower the quality of a portion of the Death Liquid and leave it in the Death Dimension for Zhao Wang to use. Thus, the two mutually benefited each other.


    What''s going on? Unless his Eye of Death has reached the Quasi God Eye level, how could he endure this? Ancient God Black Extreme was observing Zhao Wang''s every move.


    He was puzzled over why Zhao Wang was so bold as to absorb so much Death Liquid. However, even though so much time had passed, Zhao Wang was showing no ill effects and continued to absorb Death Liquid at the same speed. Meanwhile, Ancient God Black Extreme''s Death Dimension was already beginning to hit its limits.


    A little while longer, Ancient God Black Extreme was forced to stop absorbing Death Liquid. After shooting a glare at Zhao Wang, he seated himself cross-legged and began to refine what he had absorbed.


    When he opened his eyes again, the Death Liquid had been almost completely absorbed, with the surface covered in Death Intent Crystals. The Eye of Death Yao God was gradually weakening under the attacks of Zhao Feng and the other two.


    "It''s about to die!" Zhao Feng called out, and he took several steps forward.


    Lin Chengwu and the young lady also got a little closer to the pool so that they could guarantee themselves some of the spoils.


    At a certain moment, the trio launched lethal strikes against the Eye of Death Yao God.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Eye of Death Yao God''s body gradually splintered apart.


    Whoosh!


    The young lady and Lin Chengwu charged right into the dried-up pool. Zhao Feng only pretended to approach the pool while his left eye was focused on the collapsing Eye of Death Yao God, where a spatial vortex was slowly emerging.


    Above the spatial vortex was a pitch-black chestnut-shaped crystal exuding thick Death energy. This was the Intent Crystal that was inside the Eye of Death Yao God''s body.


    Zhao Feng''s eye could see that there was a sphere in this crystal, similar to an eye.


    Zhao Feng was about to take the chestnut-shaped crystal, but Ancient God Black Extreme''s figure suddenly appeared nearby. As he extended a claw, the black mist around it began to exert a powerful suction that pulled the Intent Crystal out of Zhao Feng''s range.


    This person''s target is¡­ Zhao Feng''s face darkened as he used his Space Intent to blink to the crystal.


    He had only noticed the unique traits of this black crystal because of his left eye, making him want to take it, but apparently, Ancient God Black Extreme''s goal was the Intent Crystal inside that Yao God from the very beginning.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    With consecutive blinks, Zhao Feng was able to get close to the crystal and seize it for himself.


    "Brother Zhao is quite skilled!" Ancient God Black Extreme saw that Zhao Feng had obtained the Intent Crystal and ceased his own attempts.


    Lin Chengwu and the young lady also put down what they were doing and looked at Zhao Feng and Ancient God Black Extreme.


    "Zhao Feng, what did you get?"


    "The four us are working together for the time being, but you wanted to take something good and not share?"


    The two naturally understood that they had seemingly missed out on some even more precious treasure.


    "This is the Intent Crystal that was in the Yao God. Its quality is quite a bit higher than the Intent Crystals in the pool. If you''re willing to give this Intent Crystal to me, I will give up on the Intent Crystals in the pool!" Zhao Feng fearlessly showed off the Intent Crystal he had just obtained.


    After saying his piece, Zhao Feng looked at Ancient God Black Extreme.


    The other two could see that the Intent Crystal in Zhao Feng''s hand truly was as he said: of slightly higher quality than the rest. But Ancient God Black Extreme seemed to know something else, it was just a matter of if he was willing to say anything. If he didn''t say anything, the other two wouldn''t notice and would give up on the Intent Crystal.


    The words Ancient God Black Extreme eventually said took Zhao Feng by surprise.


    "I have no objection," Ancient God Black Extreme very casually said.


    But internally, Ancient God Black Extreme was sneering. Whatever the three of you can get for now will all be mine in the end!


    Lin Chengwu and the young lady didn''t need these Intent Crystals personally, they only cared about their value. After weighing the pros and cons, they eventually agreed.


    They felt that the person they had to be most vigilant against was Ancient God Black Extreme. Since Ancient God Black Extreme didn''t care, they didn''t need to press Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng managed to smoothly obtain the special Intent Crystal.


    Before placing it in his Interspatial Dimension, Zhao Feng activated his left eye and carefully examined it. He realized that the sphere in the Intent Crystal was actually an Eye of Death!


    Could it be that, when the expert of this place died, the eye encountered something else and evolved into a Yao God? Zhao Feng pondered the matter for a while before putting it aside.


    Although all he gained was this special Intent Crystal, he had also obtained a large amount of Death Liquid earlier. In short, Zhao Feng had actually gained the most from this assault.


    The Death Intent Crystals in the pool were quickly divided between the other three. The only things left were broken-down objects like withered herbs and ore drained of energy.


    "Let''s go! The path ahead should lead to some other important place," Ancient God Black Extreme said as he began to take the lead.


    But the moment they came to the path, Ancient God Black Extreme stopped and began to cautiously advance step by step.


    "I removed all the mechanisms and traps previously, so we could travel as we pleased, but now, we will need to be very careful. It''s better if the rest of you don''t touch anything!" Ancient God Black Extreme solemnly said.


    The rest of the party members nodded. They didn''t know what divine being had once resided in this place, but it had undoubtedly been someone that far surpassed their current level.


    They had no doubt that the traps here could instantly kill them. If not for Ancient God Black Extreme''s skill in traps and arrays, they might have given upon on further exploration.


    After advancing a little farther, they came to a crossroads. The group knew nothing about the place, so they left the choice up to Ancient God Black Extreme.


    The party passed through rooms of various sizes. Some of them were completely collapsed, but there were still Yao Gods hiding in them. Other rooms contained quite a few precious resources infused with Death Intent.


    "Could this place have been the residence of some powerful Eye of Death descendant?" the beautiful lady somewhat impatiently asked.


    Everything they had found up to now was related to Death Intent, leaving her very annoyed.


    "It shouldn''t be. Outside, we encountered quite a few Yao Gods with Destruction Intent and Life Intent," Lin Chengwu calmly said.


    "Everyone, these ruins are enormous! Don''t get anxious." Ancient God Black Extreme faintly smiled.


    The rest of the group nodded. From the outside, these ruins truly appeared gigantic. However, the traps and arrays greatly hindered their progress, meaning that they probably hadn''t even searched one percent of the ruins.


    At this moment, above the ruins, nearly ten figures flew by, led by a stalwart figure with golden eyes that shone with determination.


    "Ancient God Giant Spirit, it''s right down there!" a youth with dark golden skin smiled and said.


    This person was none other than the one who had nearly wiped out the Spiritual Race''s team in the gambling match between the two races, Ancient God Gilded Gold.


    "The Destruction Origin in my body was obtained from these ruins, but there are too many mechanisms inside. I simply didn''t have the power to continue exploring," Ancient God Gilded Gold continued.


    On his training journey, he had accidentally entered this place where he had a lucky encounter and broke into the Ancient God level. In the end, he returned to his race and became the ace card for the gambling match. Alas, he was ultimately defeated by Zhao Feng.


    "We came prepared this time. At the very least, we should be able to extract the majority of the treasure from these ruins!" Ancient God Giant Spirit growled.


    "This old man has explored a few ruins left behind by the Heaven''s Legacy Race before." Next to him, an elder wearing a robe adorned with violet clouds gave a confident smile.


    At this moment, many Yao Gods in the area noticed this group and madly threw themselves at the newcomers.


    "Seeking death!" Ancient God Giant Spirit''s body trembled, physical power shaking the heavens while golden flames wreaked havoc.


    This storm of golden flames swept up all the debris, shattered ruins, and flung them aside. Yao Gods weaker than Rank Seven were immediately pulverized by this powerful energy.


    "Too strong!" The surviving Yao Gods sensed the danger coming from Ancient God Giant Spirit and felt a tinge of fear.


    At this moment, Ancient God Giant Spirit began to jab out with his finger.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Several dazzling beams of golden flame shot toward the surviving Yao Gods and ran them through.


    "Ah¡­!" Flames spread across their bodies, causing them to crack apart and eventually burn to ash.


    A Rank Eight Ancient God really is something else! Ancient God Gilded Gold mentally sighed.


    "Prepare to explore," Ancient God Giant Spirit said once he had finished handling the Yao Gods.


    "It seems like someone else came before us," the violet-robed elder whispered as he observed the area.


    "That''s perfect. Have them forge the path for us." Ancient God Giant Spirit was unperturbed.


    Afterward, the Blazing Gold Race party found an entrance and went inside.

 1302 Movement from the Incubating Egg

    Chapter 1302 - Movement from the Incubating Egg


    The Blazing Gold Race party entered through a small path and encountered no obstructions.


    "The mechanisms and arrays on this path have already been undone by someone. If we follow this route, we won''t be able to get anything good." The violet-robed elder of the Blazing Gold Race suddenly stopped.


    "The party ahead of us shouldn''t have many people, right?" Ancient God Gilded Gold asked.


    The Blazing Gold Race had brought mostly Rank Seven Ancient Gods, with their leader being the Rank Eight Ancient God Giant Spirit.


    Based on what Ancient God Gilded Gold had said, there weren''t any treasures here that could tempt higher-ranked Ancient Gods in these ruins. Moreover, these ruins were located in the territory of the five-star faction, Divine Tree Ocean. It was not proper for the Blazing Gold Race to so brashly send in its upper echelon members deep into the territory of another five-star faction. That would just expose the ruins.


    In the end, the Blazing Gold Race decided to send a group of Rank Seven Ancient Gods led by a Rank Eight Ancient God.


    "That''s natural. From what this old man can see, the other team can''t be more than five people." The violet-robed elder smiled.


    "Everything they have obtained will be the Blazing Gold Race''s!" Ancient God Giant Spirit''s eyes flashed with golden light.


    The meaning of his words was blatantly obvious. They would slowly progress on this route and rob and kill anyone they ran into.


    The dimension these ruins resided in was extremely unstable. If a Rank Nine Ancient God entered, even coming out alive would be a problem. Thus, the members of the Blazing Gold Race surmised that they could not possibly run into a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    They belonged to the race ranked 21st among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and had many people in their party. They could essentially dominate these ruins.


    ¡­


    Underground, Zhao Feng''s party continued to cautiously advance. In comparison to the outside, where Yao Gods were the greater threat, most of the danger inside the ruins came from the traps.


    "I smell something strange!" The young lady''s nose suddenly flared as she spoke.


    It just so happened that there was a fork in the road up ahead.


    "Based on how the mechanisms are distributed, there should be an important area up ahead," Ancient God Black Extreme said, and the direction he was pointing was in roughly the same direction as the odor the woman smelled.


    The party decided to follow this direction. After traveling for a little while, the path began to widen while a massive door of violet crystal appeared in front of them.


    The violet crystal door was the largest the group had encountered. They could faintly see through its boundary array.


    Inside was a large circular room, the walls studded with crystal boxes. The boxes contained various colors of dirt upon which many kinds of flowers and herbs had been planted. Besides that, there were also many kinds of large devices and instruments that none of them had ever seen before.


    But this circular chamber had partially collapsed, resulting in many of these objects being buried or broken. Many of the crystal boxes embedded in the walls had been damaged or destroyed, with their plants having withered away long ago.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    But two of the crystal boxes had managed to remain intact. Some of the plants inside them still had spiritual energy and glistened with a strange luster.


    "That''s¡­ Seven-Colored Samsara Grass!" the young lady yelped in surprise.


    Of the Eight Great God Eyes, the hardest to cultivate was the Eye of Destiny while the second hardest was the Eye of Samsara. This was because the powers of these two eyes were extremely difficult to comprehend.


    For example, back in the Continent Zone, one of Zhao Feng''s past opponents, Sacred King Samsara, had only managed to comprehend the power of Samsara by constantly hunting down people who had reincarnated.


    "Celestial Void Sacred Mushroom! Thousand Wheel Karma Fruit!" The usually calm Lin Chengwu immediately widened his eyes as he spotted a few of the plants behind the barrier.


    "Ancient God Black Extreme, hurry and open up this array!" The young lady was rather impatient.


    Everything they had encountered so far was related to Death Intent, but now, she finally saw the cultivation treasures that she longed for.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye could clearly perceive the situation in the crystal chests and determined that they were authentic. Zhao Feng cultivated many kinds of Intent at the moment, and many of the objects in the crystal boxes would be of great use to him.


    "Don''t be impatient! The mechanisms and arrays for this door are on a far higher level. It will take me a while to undo them." Ancient God Black Extreme appeared more composed. He took out his black stone plate and began to research the secrets of this door''s mechanisms.


    "If this place hadn''t been damaged, the cultivation resources inside would probably be equal to the entire fortune of a Rank Nine Ancient God¡­." The woman gave an emotional sigh.


    There were more than twenty of these crystal boxes, but all except two had been damaged.


    While Ancient God Black Extreme was undoing the violet crystal door, the rest of the party seated themselves on the ground and began to recover their energy. The area behind the violet crystal door had treasures, but there was no telling if it also contained some unexpected danger.


    "Okay!" Ancient God Black Extreme said after a long while.


    "Okay, what do we need to do?" the lady immediately asked.


    "Unlike last time, this formation has five critical spots¡­." Ancient God Black Extreme gave a simple overview of the method.


    The woman immediately summoned two Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    Ancient God Black Extreme proceeded to undo the mechanisms. Once the complicated runes around the violet crystal door began to flash, that would be the sign that the mechanisms had been undone.


    Boom! Bang!


    The remaining members of the party immediately attacked the five critical spots, instantly undoing the boundary.


    This time, they chose to cautiously step in rather than rush inside.


    "There¡­ doesn''t appear to be anything dangerous here." Lin Chengwu''s gaze carefully scanned the surroundings.


    But at this moment, an enormous boom came from their right.


    "What''s going on?" The beautiful woman immediately appeared wary. The explosion was accompanied by powerful ripples of energy.


    With a sweep of their Divine Senses, they immediately paled.


    "It''s someone else!" Lin Chengwu called out.


    The area the explosion came from just so happened to be obscured by a pile of debris, so no one had noticed anything strange. In truth, there was another entrance to this area, and while Lin Chengwu and the others were breaking their array, another team was at that entrance breaking their own array.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three figures suddenly appeared in the chamber. The gazes of the two teams instantly met.


    "There was someone else here?" an azure-robed elder asked, his gaze unkind.


    It''s him¡­. Zhao Feng''s eyes focused on a black-clothed man.


    This middle-aged man had only a single eye, his right eye, which was the Eye of Myriad Forms. This was exactly the person that Zhao Feng had bumped into when he was visiting the Life Sacred Land, and with his single Eye of Myriad Forms, he had wanted to attack Zhao Feng.


    "Heheh!" The one-eyed Ancient God Profound Devil scanned Zhao Feng''s party and coldly laughed.


    "Zhao Feng!?" A yellow-clothed youth in Ancient God Profound Devil''s team blurted out in surprise.


    Zhao Feng turned to look and realized that this youth was one of the members of the Life Sacred Land that he had accompanied to the God Eye Assembly.


    "There are four of us and only three of you, and we were the first to discover this place, so I advise you to give up!" Ancient God Black Extreme stepped forward, a look of warning on his face.


    Lin Chengwu and the woman were just preparing to question Ancient God Black Extreme. After all, they had all signed contracts ensuring that they could not leak this matter to anyone else, so only Ancient God Black Extreme could have done so.


    But when they heard Ancient God Black Extreme''s words, they fell silent. Although Ancient God Black Extreme could have leaked the information, there was also a chance that someone else had discovered the ruins on their own.


    "Hah, you seem to have more people, but it looks to me like their strength is mediocre." The azure-robed elder had a profound and crafty gaze, and he exuded the aura of a peak Rank Seven.


    "Those crystal boxes can''t be directly touched. If we can''t get them, then neither can you!" Ancient God Profound Devil chuckled. He was at the peak of Rank Seven as well, even somewhat stronger than the azure-robed elder.


    These words caused everyone to inspect the two crystal boxes. It was true that their surfaces were covered in complicated and mysterious mechanisms.


    Lin Chengwu and the beautiful woman immediately grimaced. If Ancient God Black Extreme went to undo the mechanisms, then the rest of the team would be no match for the other team. But if the other team insisted on fighting, they wouldn''t be able to completely drive them away.


    "Let''s not be too hasty¡­." Ancient God Black Extreme messaged the members of his team and gave his own suggestion.


    "If you were able to get here, then you must also have someone skilled with mechanisms and arrays. Why don''t we work together and split the contents of the crystal boxes?" Having received the approval of the rest of his team, Ancient God Black Extreme spoke his proposal with a smile.


    They could open the boxes first and then fight over the treasures, and since Ancient God Black Extreme''s side had one extra person, they would have the upper hand.


    "I was planning to say the same thing." Ancient God Profound Devil faintly smiled as he stepped forward.


    The members of both teams skilled in mechanisms and arrays went to the crystal boxes. The remaining members of the teams kept a close eye on the opposing side.


    If my guess is correct, that one-eyed person with the Eye of Myriad Forms is the leader of that team. Zhao Feng had a gloomy expression in his eyes, suspicion building in his mind.


    Ancient God Black Extreme and Ancient God Profound Devil both weren''t that old, yet they had both researched mechanisms and arrays, and they both also happened to be the leaders of their respective teams. In addition, Zhao Feng saw a team when they were outside that consisted of four people, which meant that there was still another team in these ruins.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but become even more cautious. There was something strange going on with this ruin exploration.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng received a message in his mind.


    "Master, that egg¡­" It was the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, communicating with Zhao Feng through the Dark Heart Seal.


    "Egg?" Zhao Feng was stunned at first, but then his expression froze as he understood.


    In the Spacetime Robe''s dimension, near the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, the gray and gloomy egg was trembling. A complicated silver character would occasionally emerge from the egg and begin to strangely float around its surface.


    "Just what is this thieving cat?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had an extremely grave expression.


    Suddenly, the mysterious characters and runes on the egg brightened, exuding an ancient aura.


    "This is the aura of an ancient bloodline¡­!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body went stiff. Its thin Destruction Dragon Race bloodline was almost completely frozen by the aura of this unknown ancient bloodline.


    Zhao Feng was just preparing to look at what was happening in the Spacetime Robe, but at this moment, Ancient God Black Extreme bellowed, "Go!"


    The crystal boxes were opened. The extremely valuable cultivation treasures were exposed for all to see!

 1303 The Thieving Cat Strikes

    Chapter 1303 - The Thieving Cat Strikes


    The moment the two crystal boxes were opened, Ancient God Black Extreme began to battle with Ancient God Profound Devil.


    On the other end, the members of both parties attacked at the same time.


    The azure-robed elder''s eyes immediately exploded with dazzling golden light, unleashing an energy that could destroy all things.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body flashed as he approached the crystal boxes. He was cultivating many kinds of Intent and had three clones as well, so any one of these treasures would be of enormous aid to him.


    "Haha, Zhao Feng, I''ll be the one taking care of you!" The yellow-clothed youth from the Life Sacred Land activated his physical strength and Eye of Life and charged at Zhao Feng.


    The Eye of Life was one of the weaker God Eyes when it came to fighting power, but it was also easier to cultivate, as the majority of cultivation resources contained Life Intent. Thus, everything in this place was also very suitable for the yellow-clothed youth.


    Zhao Feng''s expression darkened. When he first met up with the team from the Life Sacred Land, the yellow-clothed youth displayed his displeasure. Zhao Feng had heard from Xiahou Wu that his refusal of the Life Sacred Land''s invitation had greatly displeased the elders and disciples of that faction.


    Swish!


    Two golden wings condensed behind Zhao Feng. Through the use of both his golden wings and Spatial Blink, he was able to avoid the yellow-clothed youth while approaching the crystal boxes.


    "Hmph, get out of here!" Ancient God Profound Devil, who was battling with Ancient God Black Extreme, suddenly unleashed a shining golden spear from his right eye at Zhao Feng.


    "So strong!" Zhao Feng used the analysis powers and escape techniques of his left eye to avoid the attack.


    Of everyone present, the one-eyed Ancient God Profound Devil was the strongest. While suppressing Ancient God Black Extreme, he even had extra strength to attack Zhao Feng.


    Meanwhile, Lin Chengwu was battling with the azure-robed elder. But even with his Eye of Spacetime, Lin Chengwu couldn''t find many advantages versus the azure-robed elder.


    In the early stages of this battle, Ancient God Profound Devil''s team had the upper hand. The three of them were also doing their utmost to take the cultivation treasures from the crystal boxes.


    The crystal boxes were rather sturdy, but their contents wouldn''t be able to endure any of their attacks. As a result, everyone was doing their best to prevent the shockwaves of their battles from getting near the crystal boxes, but this also increased the difficulty in taking the treasures.


    At this moment:


    Swish! Swish!


    Several figures rushed onto the battlefield. These were all Samsara Immortal Bodies belonging to the beautiful young lady.


    The strongest was a body that had just reached Rank Seven while the rest were Rank Six True Gods.


    As for the young lady herself, she retreated to the rear, occasionally launching long-distance sneak attacks on the opposing team.


    With the entry of these Samsara Immortal Bodies, Ancient God Profound Devil''s side gradually began to lose ground.


    "Interconnected Myriad Forms Zone!" A multicolored shroud of light appeared around Ancient God Profound Devil, the energy of the Myriad Forms of the world contained within it, strengthening both his fighting power and defensive capabilities.


    "Heaven Earth Annihilation!" The azure-robed elder''s two eyes began to turn, the Destruction Intent beginning to slowly wither away everything before his eyes.


    "These two are truly powerful!" The young lady gasped in surprise.


    But this was also because the opposing team had a good composition. Ancient God Profound Devil was skilled in defense, the azure-robed elder had powerful attacks, and the yellow-robed youth''s Eye of Life granted him formidable recovering abilities.


    "Ignore them!" The woman focused her eyes on the Seven-Colored Samsara Grass in the crystal box. She took control over several of the stronger Rank Six Samsara Immortal Bodies and tasked them with seizing treasures.


    At this moment:


    Thwish!


    A golden flash of light flitted over the crystal box. The woman saw that one of the cultivation treasures she had an eye on suddenly disappeared.


    "That brat Zhao Feng¡­!" The woman was flabbergasted.


    The one fighting with Zhao Feng was the youth from the Life Sacred Land. However, Zhao Feng wasn''t even fighting back; he was just constantly dodging as traveled around the edges of the crystal boxes. Whenever the yellow-clothed youth got close, Zhao Feng would always break away.


    Whoosh!


    One of the woman''s Samsara Immortal Bodies began to approach the crystal boxes.


    At this moment, a golden blur flitted past as Zhao Feng snatched away a seven-colored herb covered in many circles.


    "My Seven-Colored Samsara Grass!" the lady immediately screamed.


    Although she was part of the same team as Zhao Feng, the method by which they distributed treasures was each to their own ability.


    "Damn! This person is too fast!" The yellow-clothed youth was well aware that he would never be able to fight with Zhao Feng, so he stopped chasing him and charged toward the crystal boxes.


    "These don''t belong to you!" Zhao Feng saw that the yellow-clothed youth was also going after treasure and began to enact countermeasures.


    Kacrack!


    A violet-silver lightning bolt exploded on the youth''s soul. Zhao Feng then fired off a palm to push the youth back and approached the crystal boxes.


    "Haha, the Celestial Void Sacred Mushroom is mine as well!" Zhao Feng chuckled to himself as he took a small silver mushroom and a dark gold fruit next to it.


    "My Void Destruction Divine Fruit!" The azure-robed elder saw that the Destruction Intent cultivation resource he wanted was snatched away by Zhao Feng and was instantly infuriated, his eyes exploding with mad torrents of Destruction Intent.


    Lin Chengwu also had a terrible grimace, as the Celestial Void Sacred Mushroom he needed had been seized by Zhao Feng.


    "Why don''t we stop our fight and divide up the treasures equally?" Lin Chengwu messaged the azure-robed elder.


    The azure-robed elder''s expression froze, but he appeared to agree and began to communicate with the yellow-robed youth and Ancient God Profound Devil.


    The Life Sacred Land youth was extremely depressed. In his battle with Zhao Feng, he had gained nothing and suffered much. Thus, he swiftly agreed.


    "Everyone, we''re not your enemies. Why don''t we divide the treasures ¨C sixty percent to you and forty percent to us?" Once all his members had agreed, Ancient God Profound Devil spoke.


    The young lady and Zhao Feng were slightly startled.


    These people saw that I was getting too much and decided to talk peace? Zhao Feng couldn''t help but become dejected.


    From what he could see, Lin Chengwu and the young lady would not refuse. If he alone refused while the rest of his team agreed, he wouldn''t be able to do anything about it.


    But at this moment, the powerful aura of an ancient bloodline suddenly appeared. This bloodline aura made everyone''s bloodlines freeze and their minds shiver.


    Ordinary descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes had bloodlines equivalent to around rank forty of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. A Quasi God Eye was equivalent to rank twenty among the ancient bloodlines.


    But now, this unique and unknown ancient bloodline energy had suppressed all their bloodlines.


    Another powerful species came to this place? Ancient God Black Extreme and Ancient God Profound Devil were both mentally shocked.


    They had only invited people with eye-bloodlines. Besides the Eight Great God Eyes or other eye-bloodlines, what else could there be that could so severely impact their bloodlines?


    Thwish!


    In a flash of dark silver light, a figure appeared in one of the crystal boxes.


    "Cat¡­?" The azure-robed elder and yellow-clothed youth all stared in shock at the silver-gray cat in the crystal box.


    This cat had dark-gray skin, and its limbs were slender and nimble. What differentiated it from ordinary cats was that its four limbs and tail were covered with many bright silver runes and mysterious characters, making it appear mysterious and strange.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat stared at the crowd and sniggered, its tail covered in runes and characters waving through the air like a silver whip.


    Little thieving cat!? Zhao Feng was stunned.


    This cat appeared quite different from the little thieving cat''s original form, as if it had grown up. If not for the contract linking them, Zhao Feng would have almost failed to recognize it.


    Zhao Feng was also left stunned by the significant transformation the little thieving cat had experienced. The ancient bloodline pressure that intimidated all of them was definitely not normal.


    But even though the little thieving cat had experienced some unknown metamorphosis, it still had that wily and evil face.


    "Heaven''s Legacy¡­!" Ancient God Black Extreme''s mind was reeling.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s face was also constantly twitching and grimacing.


    He knows of the Heaven''s Legacy Cat? Zhao Feng shot a glance at Ancient God Black Extreme.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Cat" was a phrase he heard from an automaton in the city left behind by the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    Ancient God Black Extreme also seemed to know of the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, and even though Ancient God Profound Devil might not have said anything, Zhao Feng could tell from his expression that he knew as well.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat made a wicked expression, and then it opened its mouth and swallowed a fruit.


    "Damn, where''d this cat come from!?" the azure-robed elder immediately roared. This cat was actually eating such precious cultivation resources?


    Lin Chengwu turned his eyes to Zhao Feng. Just a moment ago, he detected a very faint spatial ripple from Zhao Feng''s direction.


    That cat has such an abnormal bloodline. If I made it my pet¡­ The young lady suddenly had an idea.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat appeared confused, as if saying, do you idiots not care about what I''m doing? The little thieving cat waved its long claws again, after which a snow-white mushroom appeared in its paw and then in its mouth.


    Swish!


    The little thieving cat blinked to another side, and with a sweep of its mouth, five more precious herbs disappeared.


    "Not good! This greedy thieving cat!" the yellow-clothed youth bellowed.


    The young lady, azure-robed elder, and Lin Chengwu also became infuriated. They were just fighting to the death and managed to get their hands on only one or two of these treasures, but the moment this little thieving cat appeared, it swallowed up many kinds of priceless treasures and didn''t seem ready to stop.


    Only Ancient God Black Extreme and Ancient God Profound Devil remained pensive, standing lost in thought.


    This rascal! Zhao Feng clapped his forehead. The little thieving cat''s actions had enraged both parties.


    But the little thieving cat wasn''t very large, and no one wanted to use any powerful techniques while it was in the crystal boxes, afraid to destroy the precious treasures.


    Swish! Swish!


    Lin Chengwu blinked up to the crystal boxes.


    "Spatial Flash Blade!" Lin Chengwu locked his left eye on the little thieving cat and unleashed a spatial eye-bloodline technique.


    Thwish!


    A slender white blade appeared next to the little thieving cat, about to cut straight through it.


    But the inconceivable occurred: the slender white blade passed right through the little thieving cat and left not even a single mark.


    Thwish!


    The white crystal blade disappeared into the unique soil, impacting against the crystal wall underground and leaving a shallow mark.


    Meanwhile, the little thieving cat continued to jump around, a wicked smile on its face, and swallowed down five more cultivation resources.

 1304 Taming the Thieving Ca

    Chapter 1304 - Taming the Thieving Cat


    "This cat? How could it¡­?" The God Eye descendants lunging at the little thieving cat all widened their eyes in shock.


    Lin Chengwu''s eye-bloodline technique had clearly struck the little thieving cat, but it failed to do even the smallest bit of damage. Moreover, the little thieving cat didn''t have some supreme physical defense, nor did it appear to use some profound movement technique to dodge the attack; the eye-bloodline technique simply and inconceivably passed through its body.


    "Does that thieving cat not have a tangible body?" the beautiful lady murmured in shock.


    The azure-robed elder''s expression dimmed as if he had noticed something.


    "No, this thieving cat possesses an extremely high-level Space Intent!" Lin Chengwu solemnly stared at the little thieving cat.


    He was the one who launched the attack just now, and he had the Eye of Spacetime. Thus, he had the clearest view of the situation.


    On the surface, that slender spatial blade of white crystal passed straight through the little thieving cat, but that was actually not the case. The moment the white blade touched the little thieving cat, the little thieving cat used its profound Space Intent to move the white blade to the other side of its body. Thus, to outsiders, it looked like the white blade had gone in and out of the little thieving cat''s body.


    This was a short-distance Spatial Shift that Lin Chengwu could also pull off. However, the little thieving cat used it with extreme proficiency, concealing it so well that those who didn''t have very high levels of Space Intent would find it nigh impossible to notice. From this point of view, the little thieving cat seemed to be even more formidable than Lin Chengwu when it came to using Space Intent.


    "So that''s what was going on. This little cat really is impressive." The yellow-robed youth examined the little thieving cat in shock.


    "Hmph, if this continues, that thieving cat will eat all the cultivation treasures in the two crystal boxes!" The azure-robed elder harrumphed.


    Everyone grimaced at these words. They were all God Eye descendants as well as renowned Ancient God experts. Being played around with by a cat was truly rather vexing.


    But they were also Ancient Gods, with the youngest ¨C the yellow-clothed youth ¨C being several hundred years old. The azure-robed elder''s age could probably be counted in millions. They all had extremely sharp eyes and farsighted plans.


    In comparison to the cultivation treasures, the benefits from taming this small cat would undoubtedly be much greater.


    "Let this old man handle this thieving cat!" The azure-robed elder immediately charged at the little thieving cat.


    "We can''t let him succeed!" The young lady appeared frantic. She naturally understood what the azure-robed elder was thinking.


    "Ancient God Black Extreme?" Lin Chengwu glanced at Ancient God Black Extreme.


    The moment this little thieving cat appeared, Ancient God Black Extreme fell into a deeply contemplative mood. Ancient God Profound Devil seemed to be in the same situation. He also realized that Zhao Feng had a rather strange expression.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    At this moment, the azure-robed elder and a Samsara Immortal Body belonging to the young lady arrived next to the little thieving cat.


    "Little cat, you''ve eaten so many of our treasures. If you don''t follow this old man, you will undoubtedly die today!" The azure-robed elder''s golden eyes exuded terrifying Destruction energy.


    This pressure was focused on the soul. When confronted by this Destruction energy pressure, normal creatures would have their soul energy weaken until they ultimately yielded.


    However, the little thieving cat seemed to be completely unaffected, shooting a scornful glance at the elder before hopping away to swallow up some more treasures.


    "How could this be? This thieving cat can actually ignore the soul pressure of this old man''s Eye of Destruction!?" The azure-robed elder''s mouth twitched.


    Zhao Feng peered with his left eye and realized that, just a moment earlier, a thin and dark film appeared around the little thieving cat''s spiritual body, completely enclosing it. It was precisely this mysterious defensive soul technique that allowed the little thieving cat to remain unaffected.


    The little thieving cat didn''t know this secret art before¡­.


    "Haha, that''s not how you tame a pet!" The beautiful girl giggled.


    At this moment, the young lady took control of one of her Samsara Immortal Bodies and approached the little thieving cat. The Ancient God wielding a golden sword followed the woman''s orders and said, "Little cat, if you follow my master, you will have innumerable treasures like this, and you can eat as many as you want."


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat impatiently waved one of its claws, as if saying, I''m eating right now; don''t disturb me.


    Soon after, the yellow-clothed youth and Lin Chengwu made their own attempts to try to tame this powerful and mysterious thieving cat.


    In the end, all of them were rebuffed, but they still didn''t want to give up. In their view, this little thieving cat was a creature of these God Eye ruins. It was mysterious, powerful, and possessed unique skills. They might also be able to extract important information from it by taming it.


    "Let me catch it!" Incensed, the yellow-robed youth used a secret technique to try to capture the little thieving cat.


    Tenacious and twisted green vines sprouted up in the nearby area and began to wind around the little thieving cat.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat, who was feasting on some herbs, appeared rather angry at this situation. The mysterious silver runes on its limbs suddenly flashed and twisted, and its body also seemed to undergo a subtle transformation. It became lithe and tough, bursting with strength. At the same time, everyone present once more experienced an intimidating bloodline pressure.


    "What powerful bloodline energy! I have to get my hands on this cat!" The azure-robed elder was extremely excited.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    The little thieving cat casually waved its silver claws a few times, unleashing countless silver blades, a dazzling storm that annihilated the vines around it.


    "You''re not going to try?" The young lady looked at Zhao Feng and Ancient God Black Extreme.


    Other than Zhao Feng, Ancient God Black Extreme, and Ancient God Profound Devil, everyone else was trying to tame the little thieving cat.


    "This cat¡­ is very difficult to tame," Ancient God Black Extreme hesitated for a moment before finally saying.


    The young lady nodded. From what she could see, Ancient God Black Extreme was observing the little thieving cat for any weaknesses before making his move.


    By now, the little thieving cat had finished swallowing up all the cultivation treasures in the crystal boxes.


    "This scoundrel! It actually ate them all!" The yellow-clothed youth was hopping mad.


    This evil-faced cat was simply implacable, and none of their taming methods were of any use. And whenever they tried to take the cultivation treasures for themselves, they would be attacked by the little thieving cat.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat seemed to be full. It hiccupped and patted its belly.


    "This cat is full now. Perhaps this is a chance to tame it!" The azure-robed elder''s eyes twinkled.


    The rest of them were aching to try. The cat had eaten all the cultivation treasures, so anyone who could tame it would be the ultimate winner.


    But at this time, the hitherto-silent Zhao Feng opened his mouth.


    "Come here¡­." Zhao Feng somewhat helplessly said. This thieving had begun swallowing treasures the moment it appeared, and yet everyone else was trying their best to get on its good side.


    "Haha, you think it''s going to come over if you just call out to it?" The yellow-clothed youth couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Little Brother, this taming method of yours won''t work!" The beautiful girl chuckled.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    But just as they finished speaking, the silver-gray cat suddenly got up.


    Swish!


    In a silver-gray flash, the little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and laid down.


    "This¡­" The calm and confident azure-robed elder and Lin Chengwu were instantly dumbfounded. As for the yellow-clothed youth and young lady, they appeared to be petrified.


    Ancient God Black Extreme and Ancient God Profound Devil stared in shock at Zhao Feng, countless thoughts flying through their minds.


    After a long while, the azure-robed elder''s eyes flashed.


    "Kid, is this your pet!?" the azure-robed elder roared in fury.


    "What!?" Everyone stared in shock and disbelief at Zhao Feng.


    However, based on what happened, it really did seem like the little thieving cat was Zhao Feng''s pet. This meant that ninety percent of the treasures in the crystal boxes had been obtained by this master-pet pair.


    None of them could accept this.


    "Zhao Feng, your pet ate all the treasures left here. As its master, you have to take responsibility for this matter!" the yellow-robed youth immediately shouted.


    Lin Chengwu and the beautiful lady wanted to voice their approval, but they were also Zhao Feng''s teammates, so they didn''t make their approval too obvious.


    "Seizing treasure is dependent on one''s own skill, and besides, while my pet was moving around, I didn''t even do anything, and despite that, none of you were able to outdo it. Moreover, from my point of view, you were intentionally letting it eat those treasures, with your true intent being to steal my pet!" Zhao Feng first gave a soft sigh as if looking down on their attempts, and then his tone shifted as he accused them of trying to steal his pet.


    For a moment, they were all speechless. They were all cursing at themselves for not making the agreement a little earlier. If they had, Zhao Feng would have had to pay up. At the same time, all of them were also rather vexed over the fact that this mysterious and powerful cat was actually Zhao Feng''s pet.


    Ancient God Black Extreme and Ancient God Profound Devil simply stared at Zhao Feng, their thoughts inscrutable.


    "Let''s go!" After a long while, Ancient God Profound Devil took his team and left.


    Lin Chengwu and the beautiful lady looked at Zhao Feng with unkind expressions.


    "Zhao Feng, if you had this pet, why didn''t you take it out earlier¡­?" Ancient God Black Extreme''s voice had a tone of reproach, but he was actually probing for more information on the little thieving cat.


    "This scoundrel isn''t very obedient," Zhao Feng casually explained.


    But all of them seemed very convinced by this reason.


    "Let''s go as well!" Ancient God Black Extreme said, having gained nothing from his question.


    "Hold on! There''s still something good here." Zhao Feng stopped them.


    "Something good?" Lin Chengwu was somewhat doubtful. If there was something good, why didn''t Zhao Feng take it for himself?


    As everyone watched, Zhao Feng gathered a ball of Chaos Origin Divine Power in his hands and fired it at the edge of a ruined silver slab. After several attacks, the edge of this massive silver slab broke off, revealing what was clearly a palm.


    "Is that a hand? Is there someone under there?" the beautiful girl asked in shock.


    "No! It''s an automaton!" Ancient God Black Extreme said in surprise.


    They all immediately remembered that the Heaven''s Legacy Race had created extremely realistic and intelligent automatons, some of them strong enough to destroy entire worlds.


    "Dig it out. It might still be useful or have something we can take!" Ancient God Black Extreme called out.

 1305 Core Area

    Chapter 1035 - Core Area


    "Dig it out. It might still be useful or have something we can take!" Ancient God Black Extreme called out.


    The rest of the party immediately began to work.


    This Heaven''s Legacy Race automaton was highly likely to be a member of these God Eye ruins. Moreover, automatons essentially did not have a limit to their lives. If this automaton was still alive, they could possibly obtain some information from it and learn the truth about these ruins.


    If these were God Eye ruins, then a Heaven''s Legacy Race automaton appearing was far from normal. Perhaps the true face of this place was not as Ancient God Black Extreme had said it was.


    "Strike!" Lin Chengwu''s face slightly twitched.


    "Spatial Flash Flurry!" He immediately activated his Eye of Spacetime, unleashing a powerful Eye Intent.


    Swooosh!


    Countless white crystal blades ignored distance to directly strike the metal slab. However, the buildings of these ruins were all very special, and this large remnant of a silver wall that they were all facing was extremely heavy and tough. Lin Chengwu''s eye-bloodline technique was only able to shave off a few chunks.


    At the same time, the beautiful girl let out ten-some Samsara Immortal Bodies that began to launch attack after attack at the metal slab.


    Ancient God Black Extreme also aimed his Eye of Death at the large metal slab. Death Intent would cause any object to gradually wither away and approach death, and its effects on the massive silver slab were the most obvious.


    The four working together quickly managed to excavate half of the Heaven''s Legacy Race automaton.


    "It''s no use to us smashed this badly." The beautiful woman was a little disappointed.


    They only managed to dig out the head and upper body of the automaton, but the automaton''s face was smashed into a mangled mess while its chest had a massive hole, all the parts within destroyed.


    "Let me try." Ancient God Black Extreme stepped forward and squatted down beside the automaton.


    "What are you going to try?" Lin Chengwu curiously asked.


    "The various parts of this automaton have sustained severe damage. Even the finest array masters of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods wouldn''t be able to repair them. But the head of this automaton hasn''t sustained as much damage, so I''m going to try to see if I can get any information from it," Ancient God Black Extreme simply answered, and then before anyone could say anything more, he took a few tools, activated his secret arts, and placed his hand on the automaton''s head.


    Black words flowed out of Ancient God Black Extreme''s hand, forming waves of light that entered the automaton''s head. Several clicks could be heard from the automaton''s head, and Ancient God Black Extreme had already closed his eyes as if he was carefully looking for something.


    After a long while, the young lady softly whispered, "How is it going?"


    "I''ve obtained the majority of the map information for this place!" Ancient God Black Extreme drew back his hand and put away his tool before finally saying.


    "Is that so?" Lin Chengwu appeared rather taken aback.


    From what he could see, their group had just been aimlessly wandering around these ruins up until now. If they had this area''s map information, then they could mark out a goal and obtain the most profit in the shortest amount of time.


    "Did you find anything else besides the map?" Zhao Feng stepped forward and asked.


    "His memory bank has an extremely high-level seal on it, and I can''t access it. But the map information was independently stored in its head, which was why I was able to get to it," Ancient God Black Extreme spoke with a candid expression.


    The young lady and Lin Chengwu slightly grimaced. They conjectured that Ancient God Black Extreme''s harvest was not restricted to just the map information, but he chose to conceal the rest of whatever he discovered. Thus, the two decided to keep a close watch on Ancient God Black Extreme.


    Swish!


    Ancient God Black Extreme waved his hand, displaying a rough map before the rest of the party.


    "This map¡­" Everyone focused on the map, and then their eyes slowly gravitated to the same point.


    "This is the core area of the God Eye ruins!" The woman gasped in surprise.


    All of them could clearly see that there was a large circle in the center of the map, colored in red to indicate that this area was forbidden. In addition, there was a large eye symbol in the center of the circle.


    "Correct! In addition, we currently aren''t very far from the core area!" Ancient God Black Extreme nodded and said.


    The rest of the party was startled, unable to hide their agitation.


    When these massive ruins were still whole, they were almost certainly a most glorious sight to behold. For instance, the herb cultivation area they were currently in was in shambles, with only two crystal boxes left, and more than half of the herbs being grown in them had withered away. Despite that, they were still enough to make Rank Seven Ancient Gods madly struggle over them.


    Thus, one had to imagine; what sort of treasures and fortunes could be hidden in the center of these ruins?


    "Let''s get moving!" The young lady was rather impatient.


    The group then chose the closest route and began to proceed toward the core area marked out on the map.


    After they left, no one was left to notice a dark silver flash of light flitting through the air.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat suddenly appeared, jumping out of the void to land next to the broken automaton. It waved its claws, causing a string of complicated runes and letters to form a dark silver halo that shrouded the automaton''s chest. After a long while, the little thieving cat put down its claws and thought for a few moments before vanishing.


    Ancient God Black Extreme''s team was hurrying toward the core area when the little thieving cat once more appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder.


    "This cat¡­!" The woman shot a resentful and envious glance at the cat.


    Lin Chengwu and Ancient God Black Extreme paid little attention to the little thieving cat''s mysterious movements.


    Through their mind connection, the little thieving cat communicated a great deal of information to Zhao Feng. In the end, the little thieving cat shot back into the Interspatial Dimension.


    So that''s what''s going on. These ruins were never God Eye ruins¡­. Zhao Feng was inwardly astonished, but he showed no emotion on his face.


    Based on the information the little thieving cat had obtained and his own suspicions, Zhao Feng determined that this was probably a trap. But now that they were so close to the core area, Zhao Feng wanted to look around.


    Of course, Zhao Feng had ways of preserving his life, which was why he dared to venture deeper into a clearly dangerous situation.


    "Careful, there''s a Yao God ahead!" Ancient God Black Extreme warned.


    "It seems like the core area must contain extremely important treasures!" the girl said in excitement.


    While traversing the underground parts of these ruins, they encountered very few Yao Gods in the passages. Now that they were getting close to the core area, a Yao God suddenly appeared in the passageway. This only made them more excited.


    Rooooar!


    The Rank Seven Yao God with the Eye of Myriad Forms roared at the party.


    "Get out of here!" The Rank Seven Yao God''s surroundings thrummed with violent energy while its multicolored eye madly spun to reflect its rage.


    Ancient God Black Extreme''s party had nothing to say. All of them charged forward, their eyes gleaming with ripples of Eye Intent.


    Boom! Bang!Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The two sides clashed, and the Rank Seven Yao God was instantly crushed.


    "There are still many more up ahead. Yao Gods have high-level Intent Crystals in them, so we''ll distribute them in turns!" After saying this, Ancient God Black Extreme put the Eye of Myriad Forms Intent Crystal into his Interspatial Dimension.


    Sure enough, the party didn''t travel for long before encountering another Rank Seven Yao God. After killing it, Lin Chengwu put away the high-level Intent Crystal.


    As they traveled deeper, the path began to widen. They were encountering more and more Yao Gods as they went along, with another Eye Yao God coming before they managed to finish off the first. Their progress began to slow down.


    "The core area is just one thousand meters ahead!" Ancient God Black Extreme called out.


    The eyes of Lin Chengwu and the girl both glimmered with vicious light, and their fighting power suddenly increased.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The party of four fiercely battled with the Yao Gods ahead of them. After a long while, they finally reached the end of the path.


    In front of them was a massive translucent sphere, but they couldn''t clearly make out what was going on inside, nor could their Divine Senses enter.


    There were eight passages leading into the sphere that spread out in every direction. Their party was on one of these paths.


    The greatest treasure of these ruins was right in front of them, but they managed to suppress their agitation and remain where they were. This was because an astonishing number of Yao Gods was patrolling this passage leading to the central sphere. The weakest of these Yao Gods was a top-class Rank Six while the strongest was at the peak of Rank Six.


    Rooooar!


    These many Yao Gods noticed Ancient God Black Extreme''s party and charged over with a roar.


    "What a terrifying number! If we''re not careful, we''ll end up being buried here!" The woman grimaced.


    "If all of us stop holding back our reserves, we still have a good chance of getting across this passage!" Ancient God Black Extreme''s cold gaze scanned his party.


    Any expert would always have one or two trump cards. Moreover, the mission this time was special, with all the members being vigilant against Ancient God Black Extreme and concealing even more of their abilities than usual.


    As they were all hesitating, they sensed ripples of energy from another one of the eight paths. Three figures appeared at the entrance to the passage.


    "It''s them!?" the girl and Lin Chengwu cried out in surprise.


    This team that had abruptly appeared was none other than Ancient God Profound Devil''s.


    "Someone got here before we did!?" the yellow-clothed youth yelped in alarm.


    But just as the two teams were taking stock of each other, a boom came from yet another one of the passages. Soon after, a team of four appeared in front of Ancient God Black Extreme''s and Ancient God Profound Devil''s teams.


    "There are others?" A man in black and gold armor spoke, his eyes gleaming with cold and sinister light.


    "Ancient God Departed Spirit!?" Many of the people in the other two teams instantly recognized this armored man.


    Besides Ancient God Departed Spirit, this team also had a descendant of the Eye of Myriad Forms and a descendant of the Eye of Spacetime. In addition, at the very back was a slim woman with the Eye of Destiny.


    The three teams had appeared at different passages. Each passage was thronged by a terrifying number of Yao Gods.


    At this moment, these Yao Gods were already attacking the outsiders on their respective passages!

    Chapter 1306 - God Eye Descendant Research Area


    "Strike!" Ancient God Black Extreme called out.


    At the same time, the other two teams also prepared themselves for battle.


    "We have to get into the core area before they do!" The beautiful girl''s eyes darkened.


    She had no idea what sort of treasures were in the core area, but no matter what, if they got inside first, they would seize the advantage.


    The other two teams were thinking the same thing. They had to get into the core area of these ruins before the other teams.


    "It seems like our team should be the strongest." This was the conclusion Lin Chengwu obtained from observing the other two teams.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s team had three people in total. As for Ancient God Departed Spirit''s team, one of its members had the Eye of Destiny, which did not have any fighting abilities.


    In short, Ancient God Black Extreme''s team had the most fighting power.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "There''s no need to worry. There''s a high degree of uncertainty over which team can reach the core area first," the slim woman with the Eye of Destiny told the other three members of her team.


    "Hmph, we have to be the first to enter the core area!" Ancient God Departed Spirit angrily grunted, his eyes sinisterly staring at Zhao Feng. At the God Eye Competition Ground, he lost to Zhao Feng, and now, his team was having yet another intangible contest with Zhao Feng''s team.


    "Mm!" The other two members nodded. The first to enter the core area would reap the greatest harvest.


    "Death Binding!" Ancient God Departed Spirit''s Eye of Death spun, unleashing a black mist of Death that sent out countless pitch-black tentacles.


    Hwooom!


    Several Rank Six Yao Gods were instantly exterminated.


    On the other side, Ancient God Profound Devil''s team was charging into the passage, clashing with many Eye Yao Gods.


    "Annihilation Extreme Light!" The azure-robed elder''s Eye of Destruction shot out a dazzling golden beam of light.


    Ancient God Black Extreme''s team also began moving.


    "Spatial Flash Flurry!" Lin Chengwu activated his Eye of Spacetime, his two eyes bursting with supreme Eye Intent.


    Swooosh!


    Countless white blades shot out of his eyes to strike the Eye Yao Gods ahead of them.


    "Death Light Wave!" Ancient God Black Extreme led the charge, unleashing lethal attacks against these fearless Eye Yao Gods.


    Zhao Feng was in the middle of the pack, occasionally using illusion eye-bloodline techniques on the Yao Gods to expose their weakness and make them easier to kill.


    The beautiful girl''s Samsara Immortal Bodies served as meat shields for the front line, but she herself was at the very back.


    Ancient God Black Extreme''s team quickly managed to get ahead of the other teams, but gradually, their speed began to slow.


    After all, none of them were willing to show their trump cards, and this place was special. There was no telling when the situation might change, so they needed to preserve some of their strength.


    By doing so, the other teams began to slowly catch up. For this reason, the difference between how much each team advanced was never very large as they slowly approached the core area.


    "The number of Eye Yao Gods hasn''t increased. This means that the number of Yao Gods on each pathway is fixed!" Ancient God Black Extreme suddenly said.


    These words immediately energized the rest of his team. Previously, they were all worried that, if they advanced too quickly, the Yao Gods on the other passages would target them instead.


    "Kill!" The team of four suddenly exploded forward, suddenly advancing a large distance.


    "Not good! Their team is made entirely of fighters, and they also have an Eye of Samsara descendant. They''re advancing too quickly!" the Eye of Myriad Forms descendant in Ancient God Departed Spirit''s team exclaimed in alarm.


    "Even if that''s the case, we won''t fall too far behind, much less be beat out by that other team!" Ancient God Departed Spirit bellowed, the black mist in front of his eyes like a bottomless black hole of death.


    Swooosh!


    Pitch-black sinister spears shot out of the mist, easily slaying a group of Eye Yao Gods.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s team also began to pick up speed.


    But in the end, Ancient God Black Extreme''s team was still the first to enter the core area.


    "Hurry it up!" The two other teams saw this and instantly threw everything else aside, taking out some of their trump cards to slay the Yao Gods.


    They couldn''t see what was going on inside the crystal sphere, but they all felt that, if they were late, Ancient God Black Extreme''s team would take all the treasures.


    Bzzzz!


    Ancient God Black Extreme''s team passed through a strange halo of light to arrive in the core area of the God Eye ruins.


    Inside the core area, they could clearly make out what was going on outside. But at this moment, none of them cared about that. Their eyes were wide open as they took in the scene before them.


    They were currently in a small room within this massive sphere. Various kinds of mechanical instruments that none of them had ever seen before were arranged around the room. Besides that, there were many sealed test tubes containing different kinds of liquid.


    "These probably aren''t God Eye ruins!" Lin Chengwu''s expression darkened.


    "That was just my initial conjecture," Ancient God Black Extreme explained.


    "This is definitely a Heaven''s Legacy Race ruin!" The lady''s eyes flashed.


    Although these weren''t God Eye ruins, ruins of the Heaven''s Legacy Race were equally as valuable.


    Meow!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat emerged, its black eyes that sparkled with silver light scanning the area.


    Ancient God Black Extreme couldn''t help but focus on the little thieving cat, but he said nothing.


    "These test tubes are filled with ancient blood!" The girl suddenly focused her gaze on a row of test tubes, thick as arms and filled with liquids of various colors.


    All of them were God Eye descendants, so their connection to the bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races was weaker than normal. In addition, the test tubes themselves prevented ordinary people from sensing the blood within. However, the girl had Samsara Immortal Bodies that all belonged to powerful ancient bloodlines.


    "Is that so?" Lin Chengwu was surprised.


    The isolating effect of the test tubes made their team incapable of telling the specific kinds of blood in the test tubes. But could the ranking of any ancient blood found in such a place possibly be low? Each test tube would be enough to create a formidable expert of an ancient species.


    The gazes of the party moved elsewhere. There were also smaller test tubes, each tube containing a small amount of liquid or powder. They appeared to be some kind of medicine created through some kind of special material.


    "Go!" the woman immediately ordered one of her Samsara Immortal Bodies to approach one of these test tubes containing what appeared to be precious medicine.


    But right when the body''s hand touched the test tube, dazzling bolts of lightning shot out from various parts of the room and annihilated the Samsara Immortal Body.


    "This area was almost completely preserved. The value of these objects is definitely beyond our imagination, but we can''t just casually take them." Ancient God Black Extreme''s face was indifferent.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat stood up on Zhao Feng''s shoulder, a scornful look on its face, but no one except Zhao Feng could understand what it was saying.


    "Ancient God Black Extreme, you''re the only one that can get these treasures. Get moving!" The young lady giggled.


    Lin Chengwu and Zhao Feng also looked to Ancient God Black Extreme, as if working together to threaten him.


    At this moment, the other two teams reached the core area. All of them were shocked by what they saw.


    "There''s no hurry. Take whatever you can take and then let''s head farther inside." Ancient God Black Extreme didn''t seem to care as he walked around the room and carefully observed it.


    The rest of the members also walked around the room, seeing if there was anything that they could take. In the end, they were only able to obtain some extremely ordinary tools before heading into the next room.


    "What''s going on here!?" The girl immediately screamed.


    In front of them were large and sealed grooves, inside of which were bodies that had been preserved for many years.


    Perhaps because these machines had ceased functioning, these bodies were lifeless. But all these bodies shared one other common trait: they had no eyes.


    The only things in their eye sockets were several thin tubes. These tubes extended to the top of a special crystal box. Inside each of these boxes was clearly a pair of eyes, all of them Eyes of Death.


    "This place¡­ could it be¡­?" Lin Chengwu''s body shivered.


    From what he could see, all of these bodies had once been Death God Eye descendants. However, their eye-bloodlines were all extracted to be experimented on.


    "This place should be a research base of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Heaven Defying Faction, and what they were researching were the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes. Although there are only Death God Eye descendant experiments here, the other seven places should be the research areas for the other God Eye descendants!" A disgusted look appeared on the beautiful girl''s face. After all, she herself was a God Eye descendant.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Heaven Defying Faction and Sage Faction were almost completely unknown in the Continent Zone, but the majority of True God experts in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods knew of these two factions.


    Zhao Feng nodded, agreeing with the woman''s speculation.


    "Just what was the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Heaven Defying Faction trying to do?" Lin Chengwu couldn''t help but be curious.


    The Heaven Defying Faction never did meaningless research. If this research base was targeted at the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes, what secret had the Heaven Defying Faction hoped to find? Most importantly, did they find it?


    Lin Chengwu and the young lady were now impatient to go to the next floor, but at this moment, they suddenly felt a powerful ripple of energy from another one of the passages outside.


    Everyone in the core area looked outward.


    "The Blazing Gold Race!"


    "Nine in total, and one is a Rank Eight Ancient God!"


    Shock appeared in all their eyes while their minds reeled.


    In their peak condition, none of them would have feared the people of the Blazing Gold Race. However, they basically had no rest throughout this exploration, and after dealing with all those Yao Gods mere moments ago, they were even more exhausted.


    All three teams in the core area were in this condition, but the Blazing Gold Race had apparently traveled along the same path that Ancient God Profound Devil''s team used, so they probably hadn''t encountered any kind of obstacles or dangers. Thus, they were in peak condition.


    "This should be the most precious core area of these ruins!" a violet-robed elder in the Blazing Gold Race''s group said, his eyes glimmering.


    "They should all be inside. Let''s go in and kill them all!" Ancient God Giant Spirit said, a cruel smile on his lips.

 1307 Joining Together to Fight Back

    Chapter 1307 - Joining Together to Fight Back


    "They should all be inside. Let''s go in and kill them all!" Ancient God Giant Spirit said, a cruel smile on his lips.


    "Haha, okay!" Ancient God Gilded Gold had an excited look, and the other members of the Blazing Gold Race rubbed their hands and prepared to fight.


    None of them had imagined that they would find the core area of these ruins just by following another group. Now, they only needed to enter the core area and kill everyone else that had gone in to make these ruins the Blazing Gold Race''s.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The members of the Blazing Gold Race flew toward the core area.


    The three parties in the core area immediately grimaced, particularly the members of Ancient God Profound Devil''s team, who were in a state of extreme panic. They naturally understood what the Blazing Gold Race was going to do. They would do the same if the positions were reversed.


    "What do we do? The Blazing Gold Race sent nine Ancient Gods, and their leader is a Rank Eight Ancient God!" the yellow-clothed youth from the Life Sacred Land anxiously said.


    Normally, he could rely on his identity as a core disciple of the Life Sacred Land. Even the disciples of the Blazing Gold Race would only be able to curry his favor if he was in the mood to receive it. However, they would definitely not show him any mercy here.


    "The Blazing Gold Race followed our route to this place. We have to get out of here right now and join with the other teams in the core area. That''s our only chance at survival!" Ancient God Profound Devil also had a rather worried expression.


    Once the Blazing Gold Race''s team caught up, the three of them would end up heavily injured if not dead.


    "That''s right. We must meet up with the other teams here!" The azure-robed elder wholly endorsed this idea.


    The Blazing Gold Race wanted to take these ruins for itself, so it definitely wouldn''t let any other team escape. Any one of the three teams that arrived first would be no match for the Blazing Gold Race alone, but if they joined together, they might have a chance.


    Whoosh!


    The three of them immediately took off, no longer caring for the treasures of the core area. Saving their lives was far more important. Without their lives, what use was anything else?


    But the core area had countless rooms of varying sizes, arranged in a complicated layout, and the walls of these rooms were all impervious to Divine Sense. Finding another team still required some effort.


    At the same time, the other two teams in the core area might have been somewhat farther from the danger of the Blazing Gold Race, but they also knew that their situation was nothing to be happy about.


    "Why does the Ziling Zone''s Blazing Gold Race know of this place?" Lin Chengwu resentfully asked.


    At the start, he suspected that Ancient God Black Extreme had leaked the information. But it now seemed that this place was just not completely hidden. There was still a significant chance of it being discovered by others.


    So that''s what was going on. I was wondering how the Blazing Gold Race''s Ancient God Gilded Gold was able to have Destruction Intent¡­. Zhao Feng wasn''t as alarmed.


    He had heard the stories about Ancient God Gilded Gold during the gambling match between the two races. Presumably, Ancient God had accidentally come upon these ruins during his travels and obtained some kind of fortune from it.


    "Let''s go and find the other two teams that entered the core area. Only by joining together with them can we stand against the Blazing Gold Race!" Ancient God Black Extreme said, after which he began to lead the way.


    Lin Chengwu and the beautiful girl also knew that this was the only option, so the two of them immediately followed.


    Zhao Feng brought up the very rear of the party, but the little thieving cat on his shoulder blinked away, running off to who-knows-where.


    On the other end:


    "This way, there''s a team that will encounter a lethal danger from the Blazing Gold Race. We must save them and work together with them. Only this way can we fight back against the Blazing Gold Race!" Multicolored light flickered through the slim woman''s eyes, after which she immediately spoke.


    "Let''s go!" The other members of her team understood the situation and immediately began to move. With the guidance of the Eye of Destiny, the party passed through the complicated arrangement of rooms. Finally, they heard the sounds of fighting.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The nine members of the Blazing Gold Race were ablaze with golden flame, battering and crashing around like miniature suns.


    "Run!" Ancient God Profound Devil anxiously cried out. Meanwhile, he used his Eye of Myriad Forms to create countless icy storms to impede the Blazing Gold Race.


    "Break!" Ancient God Giant Spirit roared. His blazing sun of a body unleashed a torrent of golden light that collided with the icy storms and scattered them.


    "Rank Eight Ancient God¡­!" The azure-robed elder was slightly alarmed. The immense and dreadful Divine Power made him feel extreme danger.


    "Ancient God Giant Spirit, you want to kill me!?" the yellow-clothed youth from the Life Sacred Land angrily roared.


    "Hmph!" Ancient God Giant Spirit coldly snorted in reply and continued his pursuit.


    If not for the fact that he wasn''t that speedy, the three in front of him would have already been done for. But a Rank Eight Ancient God was still a Rank Eight Ancient God; he had a profound cultivation, powerful Intent, and pure Divine Power. Even if he wasn''t that skilled in speed, he was still much faster than a Rank Seven Ancient God.


    Gradually, Ancient God Profound Devil''s party of three began to feel a searing physical pressure, and this pressure was only intensifying. They understood that the Blazing Gold Race was about to catch up.


    "Devil Shattering Heaven Flame Palm!" Ancient God Giant Spirit suddenly circulated his power and fired off a palm.


    A massive palm of searing fire rushed toward Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    "Block!" Ancient God Profound Devil growled as he unleashed his Interconnected Myriad Forms Zone, protecting himself and his two teammates.


    At the same time, the azure-robed elder and yellow-clothed youth vigorously attacked in the hopes of weakening Ancient God Giant Spirit''s powerful strike.


    Suddenly, a pitch-black spear of Death shot out from behind Ancient God Profound Devil''s group and joined their attacks in assailing Ancient God Giant Spirit.


    Boom! Bang!


    A massive storm of energy wreaked havoc through the core area. In the past, these ruins were almost entirely destroyed, but the core area was completely preserved. From this, one could see just how sturdy the core area was.


    But now, the intense clash between the two sides caused all the surrounding rooms to become covered in cracks, and many of the small instruments were just completely annihilated. The mechanisms in the room activated, indiscriminately attacking everyone in the room.


    "Retreat!" Ancient God Giant Spirit bellowed. Even a Rank Eight Ancient God had to be cautious around the traps in the core area.


    Whoosh!


    On the other side, Ancient God Profound Devil''s and the slim woman''s teams used this chance to escape.


    "After them!" Ancient God Giant Spirit immediately ordered.


    If the other team hadn''t appeared, Ancient God Profound Devil''s team of three would have already died to the Blazing Gold Race. The other side now had seven people. Although this was slightly more troublesome to deal with, as long as they were dogged in their pursuit, there was still a chance of completely wiping out the other side.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The members of the Blazing Gold Race charged forward in pursuit, but they didn''t pursue long before the opposing group of seven stopped, showing no more intention of running away.


    "Careful of any tricks!" the violet-robed elder warned.


    In his view, the other teams could have only safely arrived here with some master of mechanisms and arrays. It could not be ruled out that their foes planned to use the traps of the core area against them.


    But before the Blazing Gold Race team could even get close, Ancient God Profound Devil spoke; "There are seven of us. It will be very difficult for you to kill us all, and you will have to pay a very heavy price. It''s far better to negotiate!"


    Ancient God Giant Spirit froze. He never would have expected that the other party stopped so they could negotiate.


    "The Blazing Gold Race discovered this place. If you are willing to give up everything that you discovered here, the Blazing Gold Race is willing to give you all a chance to live." Ancient God Giant Spirit appeared to be willing to bargain as he slowly approached the group of seven.


    However, even though he was saying this, if he had the chance, Ancient God Giant Spirit did not want to leave any survivors.


    "The Blazing Gold Race''s demands are too much. Perhaps we can continue to negotiate a little more." Ancient God Profound Devil put on a hesitant face.


    "Haha, then make it ninety percent!" The Blazing Gold Race team continued to slowly approach.


    "Ninety percent is fine, but let''s see if you dare to take it!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s hesitant face suddenly shifted.


    At this moment, the others also unleashed powerful ripples of Eye Intent.


    "Truly stubborn things. The seven of you want to fight against the Blazing Gold Race?" Ancient God Giant Spirit jeered.


    But at this moment, four people suddenly charged out from the room in the back. This was none other than Zhao Feng''s party.


    The core area truly had a unique construction, almost completely blocking out Divine Sense, so the Blazing Gold Race hadn''t even noticed the enemies hidden nearby.


    "Extreme Space Blade!"


    "Death Binding!"


    "Destruction Flash!"


    "Five Elements Yin Yang Strike!"


    ¡­ Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    All the God Eye descendants instantly used their ultimate eye-bloodline techniques against the Blazing Gold Race.


    The Blazing Gold Race that firmly held the upper hand never imagined that the situation would turn out like this. Caught off guard, the Blazing Gold Race suffered a severe blow. The nine people suffered wounds of varying severity. Fortunately for them, the Blazing Gold Race was skilled in defense. Otherwise, they would have lost even more in that clash.


    But even after this ambush, the fighting power of Zhao Feng''s side was still inferior to the Blazing Gold Race''s.


    "It''s you¡­ Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Gilded Gold immediately pointed at Zhao Feng, his teeth clenched.


    Ancient God Gold Fury, who had also lost to Zhao Feng in the gambling match, was also shocked.


    "He''s Zhao Feng?" Ancient God Giant Spirit''s gaze settled on Zhao Feng, making no attempt to hide his killing intent.


    Some time ago, in the gambling match between the two races, Zhao Feng had singlehandedly reversed the tides, completely humiliating the Blazing Gold Race. The Blazing Gold Race, from top to bottom, even the common laborers, loathed Zhao Feng.


    All the members of the Blazing Gold Race immediately began to seethe with killing intent, staring at Zhao Feng as if they wanted to eat him alive.


    "Zhao Feng''s eye isn''t one of the Eight Great God Eyes, but it''s still extremely strong and mysterious. He can''t be allowed to get anything from this place, or else he will become a massive barrier for the Blazing Gold Race in the future!" Ancient God Giant Spirit''s voice rang out in the minds of all the members of the Blazing Gold Race.


    "In addition, the ten or so people in front of us are just exhausted. Once they recover, we will be the ones who will lose!" the violet-robed elder messaged, his expression dark.


    The Blazing Gold Race members quickly reached a conclusion.


    "Kill!" The members of the Blazing Gold Race suddenly charged forward.


    "What''s going on?" The azure-robed elder was taken aback.


    The members of the Blazing Gold Race were all dour and gloomy moments ago, but now they were burning with killing intent as they attacked. It was like they wanted to fight a decisive battle no matter how much they would lose.


    "They''ve gone mad!" Ancient God Departed Spirit cursed.


    He believed that the three teams together would be able to sufficiently intimidate the Blazing Gold Race so that their side could catch their breath. However, the Blazing Gold Race seemed to have gone insane, attacking so fiercely even though both sides were at comparable levels of strength.

 1308 Major Reversal

    Chapter 1308 - Major Reversal


    The sudden attack of the Blazing Gold Race caught the God Eye descendants off guard.


    "Devil Shattering Heaven Flame Palm!" Ancient God Giant Spirit led the charge, unleashing a massive palm of golden flame.


    The powerful attacks of the other members of the Blazing Gold Race came with it.


    Their target is me! Zhao Feng''s heart trembled. He realized that the members of the Blazing Gold Race were all aiming their attacks in his direction.


    Of course, the God Eye descendants also noticed this detail.


    "They want to kill Zhao Feng!" the youth from the Life Sacred Land yelled. He was well aware of the grudge the Blazing Gold Race had against Zhao Feng.


    "Damn, this brat¡­!" Ancient God Departed Spirit shot a glare at Zhao Feng and cursed. It appeared that a large part of the reason the Blazing Gold Race was so insistent on this attack was Zhao Feng.


    But at this moment, there was no time to escape from the Blazing Gold Race''s frenzied assault, so they could only work together to fight back.


    "Death Spear!"


    "Heaven Void Slash!"


    ¡­


    The God Eye descendants once more activated their eye-bloodlines to resist.


    As for the slim woman with the Eye of Destiny, she had vanished long ago. It was clear that she had predicted the direness of the situation and decided to retreat first. After all, the Eye of Destiny had the lowest fighting potential, so if she stayed, it was highly likely that she would just be caught up in the battle and killed.


    "Kill!" The members of the Blazing Gold Race were all valiant and powerful fighters. Although their main target was Zhao Feng, they didn''t keep the other enemies out of their plan.


    "Get back!" Ancient God Profound Devil barked.


    The God Eye descendants had been constantly using eye-bloodline techniques on this exploration, and right before entering the core area, the majority of them used up their trump cards. They were not only drained of Divine Power; their eye-bloodlines were also extremely fatigued.


    "Let''s retreat and recover some strength before launching a counterattack!" Ancient God Black Extreme said.


    After stopping a round of attacks from the Blazing Gold Race, the God Eye descendants chose to fall back.


    But the Blazing Gold Race was not willing to let them go. Even after the God Eye descendants left the core area, the Blazing Gold Race continued to doggedly pursue.


    They had to flee on a route that had no traps, as they would otherwise be walking into their own deaths. So in the end, the God Eye descendants remained in and around the core area.


    "Damn, has the Blazing Gold Race gone mad? Just how long do they plan on chasing us?" the beautiful girl complained.


    "Why don''t we just hand over Zhao Feng? The Blazing Gold Race is primarily after him!" one of the members of the group messaged everyone else except Zhao Feng.


    Everyone immediately began to consider the idea, but Ancient God Black Extreme and Ancient God Profound Devil seemed to have a different idea.


    "Even if we do that, the Blazing Gold Race still won''t let us go," Ancient God Profound Devil suddenly messaged the others.


    The rest of them appeared confused.


    "If handing over Zhao Feng was enough, the Blazing Gold Race would have already stated this demand. But given how they keep chasing us, it seems like they intend to force us all out of this place," Ancient God Black Extreme spoke.


    The rest of them were still confused. Logically speaking, these two had no reason to protect Zhao Feng.


    However, the two of them were right. Although the Blazing Gold Race''s primary goal was Zhao Feng, they wouldn''t just simply let them go. After all, once the God Eye descendants recovered their strength, they would be much stronger than the Blazing Gold Race''s group. Thus, the Blazing Gold Race had two goals. The first was to kill Zhao Feng while the second was to drive out all the other God Eye descendants.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    They flew into a massive central hall.


    "This place is¡­?" All the God Eye descendants were taken aback. They were just randomly running around the core area and paid no attention to where they were going.


    The hall they just entered was enormous. The walls were covered with majestic murals and the language of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. It was completely different from any of the other rooms they had gone through. There were also many large machines that none of them recognized installed around the hall.


    But the most striking of all was the massive eight-sided installation in the center of the hall. Eight transparent crystals extended from this eight-sided installation, a pair of eyes floating in each of them. Each of the Eight Great God Eyes was present.


    "This place is probably the most precious place in the core area!" the beautiful girl immediately said.


    Everyone else was looking at those eight pairs of eyes.


    "Those Eyes of Spacetime are nearly at the Quasi God Eye level!"


    "The Eyes of Death are also nearly at that level!"


    All the God Eye descendants couldn''t help but gasp. The eight pairs of God Eyes were all nearly at the Quasi God Eye level!


    "Just what was this research base researching that they were able to produce eight pairs of God Eyes that are nearly at the Quasi God Eye level!?" Lin Chengwu was stunned.


    However, their knowledge and experience naturally weren''t enough to guess at what the Heaven''s Legacy Race had been up to.


    Kabooom!


    At this moment, a majestic pressure that could incinerate all things rushed toward them.


    "Devil Shattering Heaven Flame Palm!"


    The moment Ancient God Giant Spirit appeared, he fired off a palm at all the God Eye descendants. Only then did he take a look at the situation.


    "Let''s go!" Ancient God Profound Devil called out.


    The God Eye descendants fled once more, at the same time observing what was happening behind them.


    This hall was the most crucial room in the core area. They wondered if the Blazing Gold Race would give up on the pursuit to gather treasure.


    To their great surprise, the Blazing Gold Race chose to continue the pursuit.


    The pursuit lasted for a long time. The already exhausted God Eye descendants were even worse off now. Some of them were even rather badly injured during the pursuit.


    Once more, the group arrived at the central hall of the core area. Many of the God Eye descendants were greatly moved by the sight of those eight pairs of God Eyes in the eight-sided installation.


    "This way is no good either!" The beautiful girl''s eyes were dim.


    She wasn''t that powerful of a fighter and was also rather weak when it came to fleeing. The Samsara Immortal Bodies that she used to explore the God Eye ruins had already been used as cannon fodder.


    If a Samsara Immortal Body was not completely destroyed, it could endlessly be restored to its original form, but if it was completely destroyed, the Eye of Samsara would need to consume a great deal of time and energy to re-summon it.


    "They won''t let us go unless we completely leave these ruins." The yellow-clothed youth of the Life Sacred Land had a hesitant look in his eyes. He was already planning to leave.


    "Let''s fight. As long as we can kill that Rank Eight Ancient God, the remaining Rank Seven Ancient Gods will be easy to deal with!" Ancient God Departed Spirit had a vicious look on his face as his mind burned with rage.


    "Then let''s stay and fight." Ancient God Profound Devil suddenly chuckled.


    "Mm?" Ancient God Departed Spirit immediately stared at Ancient God Profound Devil.


    His words just now were spoken completely out of anger, but for the ever-calm Ancient God Profound Devil to actually agree was rather surprising.


    The others also turned to Ancient God Profound Devil.


    At this moment, the Blazing Gold Race team arrived.


    "Not running anymore?" Ancient God Giant Spirit laughed.


    In truth, he was also rather angry. After being chased for so long, these God Eye descendants still weren''t willing to give up on the treasures of the core area.


    "Haha, your death is imminent, and you still don''t know!" Ancient God Black Extreme suddenly gave a pleasant laugh, his cold and sinister eyes boring straight into Ancient God Giant Spirit''s soul.


    All the God Eye descendants turned in shock to Ancient God Black Extreme.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s words were strange, and now Ancient God Black Extreme also seemed to have gone mad, his words spoken without thinking. Even if all of them regained their peak strength, killing a Rank Eight Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race was still rather unrealistic.


    But Zhao Feng''s eyes turned grave. He knew long ago that Ancient God Black Extreme, Ancient God Profound Devil, and that slim woman were part of the same team. These three different teams of God Eye descendants had also been organized them.


    Zhao Feng did not know their goal, but the appearance of the Blazing Gold Race was probably an accident.


    Just what sort of ability do these two have that they can say such things to Ancient God Giant Spirit? Zhao Feng began to think.


    He had no idea what Ancient God Black Extreme and Ancient God Profound Devil would do next, but Zhao Feng inexplicably began to feel uneasy.


    That''s right! That Eye of Destiny went missing! Zhao Feng suddenly realized something.


    "Haha, I originally wanted to just drive you out of the ruins, but since you''re seeking death, don''t blame me!" Ancient God Giant Spirit''s eyes exploded with cold light as golden flames swept across his golden body.


    A boundless heat began to surge toward the God Eye descendants.


    "Kill!" The other Blazing Gold Race members activated their physical strength and shot forward like miniature suns.


    Whoosh!


    At this moment, a figure jumped out from one of the central hall''s side passages. It was the slim woman who fled earlier.


    "You''re finally here!" Ancient God Profound Devil coldly laughed.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ancient God Black Extreme and Ancient God Profound Devil broke away from the God Eye descendants to join the slim woman.


    "The three of you¡­?" The rest of the God Eye descendants stared at the trio and grimaced.


    Ancient God Profound Devil, Ancient God Black Extreme, and the slim woman were the leaders of the three teams.


    Of them, Ancient God Black Extreme was the one to organize Zhao Feng''s team. Zhao Feng and the others all felt their hearts chill. They could faintly smell a scheme.


    "What are you trying to do? If you leave the group, we''ll all be wiped out!" the beautiful girl immediately scolded.


    "Who said that there were just three of us?" Ancient God Profound Devil chuckled.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three black-robed figures shot out of the passage, all of them God Eye descendants!


    "Hah, all of you, really! Our three teams were taken care of long ago," a black-robed figure with the Eye of Divine Punishment mocked.


    "But you ran into the Blazing Gold Race. It''s very normal that the plan was upset," a large man calmly said.


    "There are others?" Ancient God Giant Spirit immediately turned grim, but he was in no rush to attack.


    He had no idea where the woman with the Eye of Destiny found three more helpers. If all of the God Eye descendants worked together, the Blazing Gold Race would face certain defeat. However, something didn''t seem right about the situation.


    There are actually six of them! Zhao Feng showed a faint shock in his eyes.


    The six of them were the three black-robed newcomers, Ancient God Black Extreme, Ancient God Profound Devil, and the slim woman.


    Zhao Feng was thinking about what they said just now.


    Their three teams were taken care of? What does that mean? Zhao Feng''s eyes gradually began to fill with shock.


    He couldn''t help but think that these six people had each led a team to explore these ruins, but the teams led by the other three had all already been killed!


    "Haha, after playing with all of you for so long, it''s finally time to bring things to a close!" Ancient God Profound Devil coldly said.


    The other five all stepped forward. The six of them stood in a row, their eye-bloodlines all surging with astonishing Origin energy.


    Not good¡­. Zhao Feng''s heart began to thump, and his face contorted in a grimace.


    For some reason, this scene reminded him of how the five God Eye descendants back in the Continent Zone had used a secret technique to heavily wound True God Tian Fa.

 1309 God Eye Fusion Ar

    Chapter 1309 - God Eye Fusion Art


    "Haha, after playing with all of you for so long, it''s finally time to bring things to a close!" Ancient God Profound Devil coldly said.


    Originally, the three of them planned to have their teams meet in the core area and kill each other so that they could seize all the God Eye descendants in one fell swoop. However, the appearance of the Blazing Gold Race made a mess of their plans.


    Even if both sides fought and heavily injured each other, the three leaders had no way of cleaning up the aftermath. Thus, the slim woman slipped away to find their other comrades in this place. Now, the six of them had gathered together, and they no longer needed to keep running.


    The other five all stepped forward. The six of them stood in a row, their eye-bloodlines all surging with astonishing Origin energy.


    Not good¡­. Zhao Feng''s heart began to thump, and his face contorted in a grimace.


    For some reason, this scene reminded him of how the five God Eye descendants back in the Continent Zone had used a secret technique to heavily wound True God Tian Fa.


    But everyone else didn''t seem very worried.


    "I don''t know why you lured me here, but your plan has failed. Just what do you think you can do with your level of strength?" Ancient God Departed Spirit sneered.


    Ancient God Profound Devil, Ancient God Black Extreme, and the slim woman were the leaders of their three teams and the issuers of the mission. Now, they had apparently joined up with another group.


    The God Eye descendants present naturally now understood that these God Eye ruins were a trap from the very start. If the Blazing Gold Race had not appeared, their three teams would have probably begun to fight each other in the core area.


    The appearance of the Blazing Gold Race had caused the three teams to join together, ruining the original plan. However, the current situation also didn''t seem very good. They were no match for the Blazing Gold Race in the first place, and now, both Ancient God Black Extreme and Ancient God Profound Devil had left.


    But Ancient God Profound Devil''s new team only had six people, and among them, the Eye of Destiny had no fighting abilities. Thus, this team of six could be considered the weakest of the three sides.


    Yet this group of mysterious mission issuers was the brashest of the lot. They even dared to say in front of the Blazing Gold Race that Ancient God Giant Spirit was about to die and everything was about to come to an end.


    The members of the Blazing Gold Race were infuriated, but Ancient God Giant Spirit and the violet-robed elder stopped them from doing anything rash. They weren''t capable of fighting everyone here, so they needed to be cautious.


    "Regardless of what you want to do, everything is over now." Ancient God Profound Devil indifferently scanned the crowd, showing no regard for any of them.


    After saying this, the six God Eye descendants began to circulate their Origin energy.


    "Origin energy! What are they planning?" The other God Eye descendants were alarmed and suspicious.


    Origin energy was the foundation of an eye-bloodline and was rarely used unless absolutely necessary.


    The Blazing Gold Race side was unperturbed. It was just the Origin energy of six God Eye descendants, not anything to worry about.


    The one with the greatest change of expression was none other than Zhao Feng.


    As expected, they know the God Eye Fusion Art! Zhao Feng''s mind was reeling as he unconsciously began to step backward.


    He had seen for himself the power of the God Eye Fusion Art. Even an expert one level higher could be instantly killed.


    But the God Eye Fusion Art shouldn''t be able to be used for very long. Zhao Feng somewhat calmed down.


    The God Eye Fusion Art was extremely taxing, so there was a limit to how long it could be used, certainly not enough to handle everyone present.


    But a moment later, Zhao Feng''s eyes turned grave. The six God Eye descendants, helmed by Ancient God Profound Devil, began to make gestures with their hands, controlling their Origin Energies to fuse together.


    It seems like I underestimated them! Zhao Feng once more became nervous.


    He remembered that, back in the Continent Zone, of the five God Eye descendants, four of them released their Origin energy and gave it to Sacred King Samsara to control. But at this time, all six of the God Eye descendants were playing the role of controller. This meant that the power unleashed by the God Eye Fusion would be even more exquisite and perfect.


    On the Blazing Gold Race''s side, both Ancient God Giant Spirit and the violet-robed elder slightly frowned. They felt that something was wrong. Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six was simply too confident and composed, and their actions were far too strange.


    "We can''t act too recklessly. If we attack Ancient God Profound Devil''s group, Zhao Feng''s group will definitely join with them and attack us," the violet-robed elder messaged to the members of his team.


    But a moment later, Ancient God Giant Spirit growled and shot toward Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six in a ball of golden light.


    On the surface, it appeared like Ancient God Profound Devil''s group was of no threat to them, but Ancient God Giant Spirit''s intuition told him that this group was up to something fishy. If these enemies weren''t stopped now, the Blazing Gold Race would suffer horrifying consequences.


    "Devil Shattering Heaven Flame Palm!" Ancient God Giant Spirit fused his physical and bloodline energy into a massive mountain of golden flames that rumbled toward Ancient God Profound Devil''s team.


    "Go!" Ancient God Profound Devil sensed Ancient God Giant Spirit''s movements and sent his mind into his Interspatial Dimension, removing from it a triangular piece of metal.


    Dingding! Clank!


    The triangular piece of metal was activated, complicated patterns emerging on its surface. Dark silver barriers of light spilled out from its three sides, creating a barrier that tightly enclosed the six of them.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Giant Spirit''s peerless palm collided against the dark silver barrier, but this attack that contained all his power was actually blocked by this barrier.


    Kabooom!


    Two energies fiercely smashed against each other. After a long while, the dark silver barrier began to dim, but by the time that happened, the power of Ancient God Giant Spirit''s palm had completely dissipated.


    Clingclang!


    The triangular piece of metal dropped to the ground. It was clear that this was a one-time-use object. Once it had been used, it essentially became trash.


    Everyone present, including Ancient God Giant Spirit, was stunned by this sight. Something that could block the full-power blow of a Rank Eight Ancient God could be considered a life-saving trump card.


    "It was actually blocked¡­?" Ancient God Giant Spirit grimaced as he once more began to gather his strength into another attack.


    But at this moment, he suddenly sensed a strength that could reign supreme over all things ¨C that a lethal crisis was about to befall him.


    Boom! Bzzzzz!


    A mysterious strength that distorted space appeared over the heads of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six. This power was indistinct, as if it didn''t really exist, and yet it was also the god of the world, able to influence all things! From a distance, one could vaguely make out what appeared to be an eye within this indistinct ball of energy.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Giant Spirit retreated back to the Blazing Gold Race''s group.


    "This energy¡­!" The God Eye descendants all had stunned and startled expressions. Their eyes were all transfixed on that ball of indistinct power hanging over Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    "How could this be? It''s the energy of a God Eye!" All the God Eye descendants could clearly sense that unique and supreme aura of a God Eye.


    They had seen with their own eyes the group of six use a secret art to summon this power. Otherwise, they might have believed that one of these six either had a God Eye or had a God Eye Deity backing them.


    "Not good! Retreat for now!" Ancient God Giant Spirit growled as he began to flee.


    This energy was far too terrifying and could definitely pose a lethal threat to him. And given how he acted earlier, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group definitely wouldn''t let the Blazing Gold Race go free.


    "Let''s go!" The remaining members of the Blazing Gold Race saw their leader fleeing and immediately followed.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng was also feeling a desire to retreat.


    "Today, no one will be able to escape this place!" Beneath that indistinct energy, Ancient God Profound Devil sneered.


    "Seal!" The six formed a spell in unison, apparently communicating with the indistinct ball of energy over their heads.


    Suddenly, the ball of energy unleashed an indistinct barrier that spread in all directions. In a flash, this barrier completely engulfed the central hall.


    "A boundary!?" Ancient God Giant Spirit, who was anxious to flee, sensed the boundary energy in front of him and immediately gathered his Space Intent and punched.


    Boom! Bang!


    A giant fist of blazing flames slammed into the boundary and was stopped dead. Even more strangely, the power in the fist began to gradually wane. After two seconds, those flames that were as bright as the sun became like the glowing of fireflies, after which they were extinguished.


    "This is¡­" Zhao Feng''s face immediately turned grim. Ancient God Giant Spirit''s punch did no damage whatsoever to the boundary, and its energy had been seemingly absorbed. If that was the case, even he would find it very difficult to escape.


    It was the same God Eye Fusion Art, but Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six was clearly much more skilled in its application. And with the six of them controlling the energy, they had many more ways of using this energy.


    "All of you are already fish in a barrel." Ancient God Black Extreme sinisterly chuckled.


    "Without our permission, you intruded into our territory. The only end for you is death!" Ancient God Profound Devil turned his eyes to the Blazing Gold Race team.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Their hands gestured out more spells, and the indistinct energy above them seemed to respond, thumping like a heart. Suddenly, an indistinct chain shot out, a sharp point attached to its tip.


    Thwish!Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    This chain shot straight toward Ancient God Giant Spirit.


    "Damn!" Ancient God Giant Spirit''s face turned ashen as he took out a square golden shield.


    Clingclang!


    The tip at the end of the chain stabbed straight into the shield.


    "How!? This is a high-quality divine artifact!" Ancient God Giant Spirit panicked.


    He found it impossible to determine what kind of energy formed this chain, but this energy made him feel like he was in mortal danger, and it had easily pierced through his high-quality divine artifact. Although it was on the lower end of defensive high-quality divine artifacts, it was still a high-quality divine artifact!


    Clingcling! Thwish!


    A few moments later, the chain finished piercing through the shield. But by this time, Ancient God Giant Spirit had already moved aside. The chain passed through where he had originally been standing.


    Whoosh!


    A Blazing Gold Race member standing behind that area was pierced by the chain.


    Boom! Bang!


    The moment he was pierced by the chain, his body exploded, and the golden soul in his body was pulled out by the indistinct chain. No matter how it struggled, it couldn''t escape. Slowly, his soul dimmed until it was no more.


    Killed in a single blow without the slightest suspense!


    Everyone saw what happened. Their bodies were frozen to the spot as if they had been petrified. This was a power that could make a Rank Eight Ancient God flee, pierce through a high-quality defensive divine artifact, and instantly kill a Rank Seven Ancient God. What sort of power could accomplish this?

 1310 Invincible Power

    Chapter 1310 - Invincible Power


    "It was actually dodged?" Ancient God Profound Devil''s flat and indifferent voice broke the silence.


    "Just what sort of power is that?" the violet-robed elder of the Blazing Gold Race asked with a trembling voice.


    It had instantly killed a Rank Seven Ancient God without even giving a chance to struggle, even annihilating the soul. Anyone who was pierced by this indistinct chain would probably suffer the same result.


    Nearby, Ancient God Giant Spirit was ghastly pale, his heart still thumping in fear. Even though he was a Rank Eight Ancient God, if he had not dodged that attack just now, he would have been instantly killed all the same.


    Zhao Feng''s expression chilled. Back in the Continent Zone, using Sacred King Samsara''s secret art just once had taken all their energy, so the power of the attack was enormous and extremely difficult to avoid.


    After using this secret art once, the six did not appear to have expended much energy and could seemingly use it again. However, the power and area of the attack were correspondingly weaker.


    "How¡­? How could they be this strong?" Ancient God Departed Spirit was stunned.


    Earlier, he had even said that Ancient God Profound Devil''s group wouldn''t be able to do anything. But now, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six was wielding a mysterious energy that could easily kill a Rank Seven Ancient God without the slightest suspense.


    "You won''t be so lucky next time." Ancient God Profound Devil coldly harrumphed.


    At this moment, the group of six formed another spell. The indistinct energy above them once more produced a chain, identical to the first.


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Giant Spirit grimaced.


    The target this time was still apparently him, and there seemed to be an additional chain this time, making the attack even more difficult to avoid.


    "Everyone, they''ve already locked down this area. If we don''t kill them, we will be the ones dying here!" The panicked Ancient God Giant Spirit immediately turned to Zhao Feng and the other God Eye descendants to propose an alliance.


    "It seems like that''s our only option," Ancient God Departed Spirit grimly said.


    After all, Ancient God Profound Devil''s true target was the God Eye descendants. Although his group of six was dealing with the Blazing Gold Race first, there was no way that they would let their actual target go.


    "Mm, we have to undo their secret art!" The azure-robed elder''s eyes gleamed.


    The secret art used by Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six had the power to annihilate everything. Even Ancient God Giant Spirit feared it. But once their secret art was undone, the six of them would just be ordinary Rank Seven Ancient Gods. Whether it was the Blazing Gold Race team or the temporary alliance between the azure-robed elder, Ancient God Departed Spirit, and Zhao Feng, either party would be able to easily take care of them.


    In addition, the azure-robed elder was extremely interested in the secret art used by Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    Zhao Feng also did not object to an alliance with the Blazing Gold Race. After all, the most important thing here was survival. Zhao Feng could sense that he was one of Ancient God Profound Devil''s primary targets, so he was all too anxious to get rid of this threat.


    The Blazing Gold Race and Zhao Feng''s group began to approach the center.


    "Hmph, pointless." Ancient God Profound Devil had an indifferent look on his face, apparently caring little about their alliance.


    Clingclingclang!


    But the two chains within that ball of energy shot out nevertheless.


    These two chains shooting out like venomous snakes had everyone shivering in fear.


    "Dodge!" the azure-robed elder cried out in alarm.


    Anyone struck by these chains was doomed.


    "The chains are targeting me. Use this chance to attack them and break their secret art!" Ancient God Giant Spirit roared, using a secret speed skill to transform into a golden streak of light.


    "Okay!" The God Eye descendants charged at Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    The remaining members of the Blazing Gold Race put all their energy into attacking the chains, hoping to impede them and give Ancient God Giant Spirit a chance to dodge.


    "Finally, something to do!" The other three God Eye descendants in Ancient God Profound Devil''s group began to form spells with their hands, communicating with the indistinct energy above them.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Bzzzz!


    The eye-like ball of twisted and indistinct energy immediately unleashed a barrier over the group of six.


    "Death Light Wave!"


    "Destruction Flash!"


    The holders of the Eye of Death and Eye of Destruction in Zhao Feng''s group circulated their Eye Intent and unleashed their most powerful techniques. A gloomy black ripple of light and a dazzling golden beam impacted against the indistinct barrier.


    But the results were not as they imagined. These powerful attacks from the two God Eye descendants only created ripples on the barrier.


    Swish!


    Destruction and Death energy battered the barrier, attempting to break through. But in the end, even after these energies were completely consumed, they still had no effect.


    "How could this be? Not even Death Intent or Destruction Intent work?" The azure-robed elder was stupefied.


    Death Intent and Destruction Intent were two of the strongest Intents, but their attacks didn''t have even the slightest effect against this barrier.


    "Let me try!" Lin Chengwu blinked forward, his Eye of Spacetime already turning.


    "Extreme Space Blade!"


    A dazzling gold and silver blade gathered in front of his eyes.


    Thwish!


    This blade suddenly vanished, and when it appeared once more, it was right in front of the barrier.


    "Not even Space Intent does anything!?" Lin Chengwu was surprised.


    His idea just now was to use a spacetime eye-bloodline technique to get past the barrier and attack one of the people inside it. However, his Extreme Space Blade was forced to appear as it approached the barrier.


    Swoosh! Swish!


    The gold and silver blade with its formidable space-piercing abilities clashed against the barrier, but it slowly began to scatter as it ran up against the barrier.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" Zhao Feng also used a few eye-bloodline techniques, but all of them were blocked by the barrier without exception.


    On the other side, Ancient God Giant Spirit was powerful and had a variety of techniques. With the assistance of the rest of the Blazing Gold Race members, he was able to avoid the two chains.


    As Ancient God Giant Spirit dodged, he occasionally observed how Zhao Feng''s side was doing.


    "How could this be? Not even the Intent energy of God Eye descendants can pierce through the defense of their secret art?" Ancient God Giant Spirit''s face was ashen.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six could be said to be wielding both the most powerful spear and the most powerful shield.


    "Ancient God Profound Devil, stop saving energy. Kill that Rank Eight Ancient God and the rest will be easy to deal with," the slim woman scanned the area with her Eye of Destiny and declared.


    "Okay!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s face turned grim and his eyes exploded with cold light.


    The two chains suddenly retracted.


    "What''s going on?" Ancient God Giant Spirit turned in surprise to Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six. His intuition told him that his enemies would not easily give up.


    Not good! They''re changing their method of attack! Zhao Feng''s heart sank. He was keenly aware of the true power this secret art could display.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    At this moment, the indistinct ball of energy began to exude mysterious rays of light. These faint rays of light began to outline a fuzzy pupil.


    Not good¡­. Ancient God Giant Spirit shivered. As this indistinct eye stared at him, he felt his blood, Divine Power, and soul giving up all resistance and submitting to it.


    Ancient God Giant Spirit felt an unprecedented danger, and his soul was constantly shivering.


    Boom!


    The indistinct eye suddenly exploded with light, and then it fired an indistinct ball of energy.


    "No, I don''t want to die¡­!" Ancient God Giant Spirit''s eyes almost bulged out, his face stricken by terror and despair. He could keenly sense that, no matter where he fled, he would not be able to dodge this attack.


    Ancient God Giant Spirit did not want to die like this. He burned his Origin Divine Power, transforming into a golden sun as he prepared to flee.


    But just as he began to move, that mysterious and indistinct power that ruled over all appeared in front of him.


    "Noooooooo¡­!"


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Giant Spirit''s screams were drowned out by an all-destroying explosion. Faint spatial fractures appeared in the center of the explosions, pulling in the surrounding space.


    Once the destructive storm died down, nothing was left. Ancient God Giant Spirit was instantly slayed!


    "Ancient God Giant Spirit!"


    "This is impossible!"


    All the members of the Blazing Gold Race were utterly frozen for a few moments, and then they began to shout in alarm. The leader of their team and their strongest member had been instantly slain.


    "What kind of energy is this¡­!?" The God Eye descendants around Zhao Feng all swallowed, staring in shock at where a Rank Eight Ancient God had once stood.


    "Even with my Samsara Immortal Body, I wouldn''t be able to survive!" The beautiful girl couldn''t help but tremble. She, who had never feared death before, now understood its terror.


    "That''s how it should be. If you don''t give them something to look at, they think that they''re really something." Ancient God Black Extreme sneered.


    "The attack just now was too powerful. We nearly destroyed this place''s precious research results. We should remove these things first," the slim woman coldly said.


    The attack that killed Ancient God Giant Spirit had already destroyed one of the nearby instruments, and it had nearly affected the eight-sided installment in the center.


    "Mm!" The rest of the group nodded.


    Their primary objective in this mission was to move out the research results and data from these ruins. Capturing God Eye descendants was just a side project.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    The six began to take out strange tools and activate them. A moment later, the many instruments in the central hall suddenly came to life.


    Dingding! Clank!


    Many of the instruments began to shrink and then move to the group of six.


    "They can control these instruments and installations of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!?"


    "How? Do they belong to the Heaven''s Legacy Race?"


    Everyone else stared in shock at this scene. Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six ignored their presence and occupied themselves with their task.


    It only took a short while for the central hall to be emptied out. The only thing left was the eight-sided installation in the center.


    "We can''t move this installation. Just take the fruits of the research and the data inside!" Ancient God Profound Devil ordered as he made an attempt to operate the installation.


    It made a few strange sounds. The transparent crystal extensions carrying the eight pairs of God Eye descendant eyes detached from the installation.


    "God Eye descendant eyes verging on the Quasi God Eye level¡­!" Ancient God Departed Spirit was slightly tempted.


    If he was able to obtain a pair of Eyes of Death on the verge of the Quasi God Eye level, he might be able to absorb the energy in those eyes and trigger a transformation in his own pair of eyes. Advancing to the Quasi God Eye level was not out of the question. But he did not dare to move.


    The other God Eye descendants were also burning with desire for those eight pairs of eyes, but none of them dared to move either.


    But at this moment, a silver-gray light shot out from one of the entrances to the hall.


    Thwish!


    The light instantly appeared above one of the crystal extensions, after which the lithe and slender body of the little thieving cat appeared.


    "Not good! It''s the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" Ancient God Profound Devil immediately warned.


    "It''s really a Heaven''s Legacy Cat?" The Eye of Divine Punishment in Ancient God Profound Devil''s team was flabbergasted.

 1311 Capturing the Heavens Legacy Ca

    Chapter 1311 - Capturing the Heaven''s Legacy Cat


    Everyone instantly focused on the little thieving cat.


    Ancient God Profound Devil and the other five of his group were stunned by the fact that they had actually run into a Heaven''s Legacy Cat.


    The others were more astonished at the fact that the cat would be so rash and reckless as to dare stealing those eight pairs of God Eye descendant eyes. However, when they saw the expressions on Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six, they began to have many questions and doubts. From what they could see, this cat was apparently extremely unusual, on par with the eyes of God Eye descendants.


    "Little thieving cat!" Zhao Feng''s heart trembled.


    Firstly, outsiders could not touch the objects or installations of the Heaven''s Legacy Race without triggering the traps. Secondly, those eight pairs of eyes were one of the primary objectives of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group; by jumping onto them, the little thieving cat would definitely incur their wrath.


    But the little thieving cat''s actions left everyone, including Zhao Feng, dumbfounded. The little thieving cat opened wide its voracious mouth and directly swallowed the transparent crystal extension into its belly.


    "Not good! The Heaven''s Legacy Cat is swallowing the research results!" Ancient God Profound Devil grimaced.


    "It really is a Heaven''s Legacy Cat. It directly swallowed the important instruments of the Heaven''s Legacy Race without any adverse effects!" The owner of the Eye of Divine Punishment sighed in wonder.


    "That cat is that formidable?" Lin Chengwu, who had seen the cat at work before, was stunned.


    "But it''s truly suicidal. Just what is its master thinking?" The yellow-clothed youth from the Life Sacred Land sneered.


    In his view, Zhao Feng must have commanded the little thieving cat to do this. But now that the little thieving cat had infuriated Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six, it would certainly be their next target, and anyone that was touched by that mysterious and indistinct energy would be doomed, with the little thieving cat being no exception.


    Thwish!


    After swallowing one of the transparent crystals holding a pair of eyes, the little thieving cat blinked away.


    "Catch it!" Ancient God Profound Devil immediately called out.


    "You don''t need to tell us. This is a Heaven''s Legacy Cat! We naturally can''t let it go!" Ancient God Black Extreme''s eyes glimmered with sharp light.


    Everyone else in the group seemed to be transfixed on the little thieving cat as well, determined to capture it.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The six of them immediately began to form spells, causing the indistinct eye above them to constantly writhe and crackle. Suddenly, three hazy belts of light extended from the ball of energy.


    Thwish! Thwish! Thwish!


    The belts of light instantly shot forward like thunderbolts toward the little thieving cat.


    After its transformation though, the little thieving cat had reached a divine level in its escape techniques. Even Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye was only barely able to keep up with its movements.


    Thwish!


    The little thieving cat transformed into a dark-silver gleam of light, then vanished.


    But Ancient God Profound Devil''s group seemed to possess some sort of skill that allowed them to track down the little thieving cat. They controlled the three belts of light to converge on the little thieving cat from three different directions.


    "Everyone, this is our chance!" Ancient God Departed Spirit''s eyes darkened as he messaged the others.


    Everyone immediately understood what he was getting at. Now that Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six was focused on the little thieving cat, they had the perfect opportunity to counterattack.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The God Eye descendant party and the Blazing Gold Race party immediately charged forward.


    "Death Spear!"


    "Extreme Space Blade!"


    "Fierce Flame God Fist!"


    Both teams launched their strongest attacks at Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    "Hmph, we predicted that you would try this. If the Heaven''s Legacy Cat hadn''t appeared, none of you would even have a chance to jump around like this!" Ancient God Black Extreme coldly laughed.


    While three members controlled the hazy belts of light, the other three began to harness the indistinct energy into a defensive barrier. Although many people were attacking them, they were extremely confident in the power of their God Eye Fusion Art. Any energy below a certain level would be of no use against them.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    All the attacks struck a hazy barrier, but they failed to even slightly shake the barrier.


    "Just what sort of energy is this? It''s able to stop the attacks of so many people!" After his initial shock, Ancient God Departed Spirit gave a nasty grimace.


    Everyone else was also vexed to the extreme. The power of this energy was beyond common sense.


    It seems like these six must cultivate this secret art often. Otherwise, they wouldn''t be able to use the energy of the God Eye Fusion with such skill and proficiency! Zhao Feng was also quite shocked.


    Moreover, these people were also skilled in mechanisms and arrays, and could even use the instruments of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Zhao Feng surmised that they all belonged to some sort of faction.


    "Continue attacking! This energy definitely isn''t infinite!" Lin Chengwu called out.


    Everyone immediately agreed with these words. If they did nothing, they would just be waiting for their deaths.


    Besides, Lin Chengwu''s words were absolutely correct. There was simply no way this energy could be infinite. Otherwise, why had Ancient God Profound Devil''s group not instantly killed Ancient God Giant Spirit from the very start?


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Invigorated, the God Eye descendants and Blazing Gold Race once more began to unleash their strongest attacks against the hazy barrier.


    "Damn, these people¡­" Ancient God Black Extreme clenched his teeth and grumbled.


    The God Eye Fusion Art drew on the Origin energy of their eyes. The more Origin energy that was consumed, the more damage would be done to their eyes. If they used up all their Origin energy at once, they would be dealing a destructive blow to their eyes, even possibly losing them.


    The silence from Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six made the other two parties even more confident in their assessment. For their own lives, everyone agreed to combine their strength into a frenzied assault.


    But there were also people that began to take notice of the little thieving cat. After all, it was the little thieving cat that had given them this opportunity to attack Ancient God Profound Devil''s team.


    Swish!


    The little thieving cat was a dark silver streak of light that flew rapidly around the central hall. Behind it, three hazy belts of light seemed to be following a specific system as they doggedly pursued the cat.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Every time these three belts of light missed, they would leave deep scars in the walls of the central hall. It had to be known that even Rank Seven Ancient Gods would find it rather difficult to damage these walls.


    "That cat is quite formidable. It still hasn''t been captured yet!"


    "Those three belts of light are even faster than those chains that Ancient God Giant Spirit barely managed to dodge, yet that little thieving cat is able to contend with them through its own power!"


    While attacking, the members of the two teams couldn''t help but see how the little thieving cat was doing.


    Those who knew that this little thieving cat was Zhao Feng''s pet were even more envious. How wonderful it would be if they could be the ones with such a powerful pet.


    Meow!


    As if hearing their praise, the little thieving cat gave all of them a smug and satisfied smile as it continued to run.


    All of them were amused by the cat''s action. But a moment later, all of them froze as if they had been struck by lightning bolts.


    For the sake of that smug smile, the little thieving cat had slowed down a little. Those three belts of light suddenly sped up, instantly coiling around the little thieving cat.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat began to struggle within the belts of light, but it was incapable of escaping. However, those three belts of light were only binding the little thieving cat, not inflicting any harm on it.


    "Not good! The cat!" All of them were regretting their words, wishing that they had never drawn its attention.


    "That thieving cat¡­?" Only Zhao Feng appeared suspicious after his brief moment of shock. In his view, the little thieving cat would never make such a mistake. On the contrary, it seemed intentional.


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Cat has finally been captured!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s group was ecstatic.


    Swish!


    They began to pull over the little thieving cat on the belts of light.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat gave a pitiful yowl and then opened its mouth.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly charged forward.


    "It''s useless." Ancient God Profound Devil faintly smiled, but his eyes tightly followed Zhao Feng.


    Other than the data, research results, and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, Zhao Feng was also a rather important target to be captured. After all, he had a Quasi God Eye level eye despite not being a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes. This was truly rather strange. Moreover, the abilities of Zhao Feng''s eye were not one bit weaker than those belonging to a descendant of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    If Zhao Feng went to save the little thieving cat, he would immediately have one of the belts of light bind Zhao Feng. However, Zhao Feng only went up to a certain distance before stopping.


    At this moment, several objects flew out of the little thieving cat''s mouth. There was a test tube as thick as an arm containing an unknown ancient bloodline, and there was also a very small test tube containing some kind of special medicine. Besides that, there were other various objects that had been gathered from around the core area.


    "Those are all treasures of the core area that we weren''t able to obtain!"


    "Heavens! When did that thieving cat manage to steal them!?"


    The God Eye descendants and the Blazing Gold Race members were all dumbstruck.


    They all understood that these were precious items with powerful protective measures. Outsiders that touched them would immediately trigger a slew of traps, but the little thieving cat was able to mysteriously steal them away. Just how had it managed to do it?


    Even Ancient God Profound Devil''s group was shocked and infuriated by this sight. These were all important resources of the core area.


    "That''s¡­!" Lin Chengwu''s eyes glimmered as he locked onto a certain item. This was a transparent crystal with a pair of eyes verging on the Quasi God Eye level!


    The other God Eye descendants were also immediately entranced by this object.


    But even if they wanted to take them, it was already too late; the moment the little thieving cat vomited all these objects out, Zhao Feng swept them up into his Interspatial Dimension.


    After doing all this, the little thieving cat allowed itself to be dragged over to Ancient God Profound Devil''s group. Those three belts of light immediately transformed into a hazy liquid that completely engulfed the little thieving cat, sealing it away.


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Cat has been successfully captured!" Ancient God Profound Devil called out as he put the little thieving cat in a special Interspatial Dimension.


    "There''s still quite a bit of energy ¨C enough to handle everyone else." Ancient God Black Extreme''s cold and sinister face revealed a savage smile.


    The God Eye descendants and Blazing Gold Race members once more sensed approaching death, and their bodies shivered.

 1312 God Eye Unsealed

    Chapter 1312 - God Eye Unsealed


    "There''s still quite a bit of energy ¨C enough to handle everyone else." Ancient God Black Extreme''s cold and sinister face revealed a savage smile.


    The Rank Eight Ancient God Giant Spirit had already been slain, and now the enigmatic and formidable little thieving cat had been captured. From the tone of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group, it didn''t seem like they would be letting anyone else go.


    "Little thieving cat!" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    Just before the little thieving cat was sealed away, he received a message from the cat telling him not to worry.


    However, Zhao Feng first had to worry about how he himself would escape.


    "Capture the God Eye descendants. As for the rest, kill them all!" Ancient God Profound Devil growled.


    The six of them immediately began to form spells to control the indistinct energy over their heads.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Three hazy belts of light and three chains shot out from the ball of energy.


    "Capture the God Eye descendants?" The God Eye descendants were all taken aback by these words.


    Now, they finally understood that Ancient God Profound Devil and the others had brought them to these ruins to capture them alive. As for what the final goal was, they had no idea, but it was almost certainly not anything good.


    "Kill them all!" The members of the Blazing Gold Race shivered, their eyes brimming with fear.


    Thwish...


    The three chains shot off toward the Blazing Gold Race while the three belts of light moved for the God Eye descendants.


    "Run!" a man of the Blazing Gold Race being targeted by the chains cried out in alarm and began to flee.


    "It''s no good! Think of something!" Lin Chengwu called out as his body blinked away from one of the belts of light.


    If all of them just dodged, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group was bound to wipe them out eventually. However, there was no one left that could be like Ancient God Giant Spirit or the little thieving cat and buy time against Ancient God Profound Devil''s team.


    Thwish!


    A hazy belt of light approached Zhao Feng from an extremely crafty angle. Zhao Feng noticed this and used Spatial Blink to dodge, but the belt was already waiting for him when he next reappeared.


    "Zhao Feng, obediently be captured. Come together with your pet!" Ancient God Black Extreme coldly laughed.


    The one controlling the belt of light to capture Zhao Feng was none other than Ancient God Black Extreme.


    "The reason I didn''t hand you over to the Blazing Gold Race is that you are one of our primary objectives. We can''t have you dying here¡­." Ancient God Black Extreme added.


    "Why do you want to capture me? I''m not a God Eye descendant," Zhao Feng inquired.


    Zhao Feng could think of a few reasons for why they wanted to capture God Eye descendants, but none for why they wanted to capture him.


    "You''re not a God Eye descendant, yet you''ve cultivated your eye to the Quasi God Eye level. Moreover, you''re the master of the Heaven''s Legacy Cat. Your value is not one bit less than these God Eye descendants." Confident in success, Ancient God Black Extreme seemed to not mind divulging this information.


    "What? Quasi God Eye?" The other God Eye descendants present were stunned by this news.


    "That''s impossible!" Lin Chengwu and the beautiful girl shook their heads in disbelief.


    Zhao Feng was far too young, and he wasn''t even a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes, so how could he have cultivated his ordinary eye-bloodline to the Quasi God Eye level? Moreover, they had been in the same team as Zhao Feng but weren''t able to sense this level of power from Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    "Quasi God Eye level eye?" Zhao Feng''s expression slightly froze.


    At this moment, he suddenly remembered how the God Eye Fusion Art used by Sacred King Samsara and the others had experienced a massive shift due to the sudden participation of his God''s Spiritual Eye. Perhaps his God''s Spiritual Eye would be able to do something at a moment like this.


    Swish!


    The seal around his dreamy silver ball within the God Eye Dimension was immediately torn away. At this moment, Zhao Feng''s eye regained its bright luster, overflowing with light, while his hair regained its dreamy silver color, dancing in the air.


    "He sealed his eye''s power!?" Lin Chengwu was blown away.


    Previously, Zhao Feng''s eye was around the same power as his, so he had never even imagined that Zhao Feng had actually sealed a portion of his eye''s abilities.


    "It''s really a Quasi God Eye?" The other God Eye descendants all focused on Zhao Feng''s left eye, as did Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six.


    They might have seen individuals with Quasi God Eyes before, but they had never seen any eye beyond those belonging to descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes at a Quasi God Eye level.


    At this moment:


    "Ah¡­!" A God Eye descendant was careless and captured by a belt of light.


    This hazy belt of light swiftly transformed into liquid that completely shrouded the God Eye descendant. Unable to move or do anything, the God Eye descendant was dragged away.


    "Damn!" the azure-robed elder cursed.


    The moment they let down their guard, they would be captured by the belts of light and be unable to escape. As for the Blazing Gold Race party, two of their members had already been obliterated.


    "Zhao Feng, just let yourself be captured. Even if you use your eye''s true power now, what good will it do?" Ancient God Black Extreme sneered.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Thwish!


    Despite his words, Ancient God Black Extreme never let down his guard, constantly controlling his belt of light to try to capture Zhao Feng. However, Zhao Feng had an extremely high-level movement technique that made his belt of light unable to catch Zhao Feng.


    "Perhaps it could work?" Zhao Feng muttered. He planned to try. After all, he wouldn''t lose anything with the attempt.


    "Hmph, ignorant!" Ancient God Black Extreme coldly laughed.


    Ever since they began using the God Eye Fusion Art, no other force had ever been able to defeat it, not unless they were facing an expert many levels above them.


    "Lend me your power!" Ancient God Black Extreme spoke to a comrade of his who had the Eye of Spacetime. Ancient God Black Extreme immediately sensed that his belt of light was now suffused with profound Spacetime Intent.


    "Haha, let''s see where you run off to this time!" Ancient God Black Extreme''s eyes focused.


    Thwish!


    The hazy belt of light suddenly accelerated and even melded into space, piercing through it to immediately appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    "That brat Zhao Feng is done for!" the yellow-clothed youth from the Life Sacred Land called out. The enemy was only controlling three belts of light to capture God Eye descendants, so he was being ignored for the time being.


    Just when it seemed like the belt was about to bind Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng''s left eye finished building up its eye-bloodline technique.


    "Origin Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng''s left eye locked onto the belt of light and unleashed a gout of violet-and-silver flame.


    "Haha, how foolish! Your powers are useless here!" Ancient God Black Extreme found Zhao Feng''s actions to be extremely idiotic.


    But a moment later, his face froze in shock.


    Kacrack!


    The violet-and-silver lightning flame exploded against the belt of light. The belt began to twist and swell before ultimately scattering into various powerful Intent energies and completely dissipating.


    "It really did work!" Zhao Feng''s eyes brightened.


    He knew that normal attacks would be useless against this indistinct and mysterious energy, so after undoing the seal, Zhao Feng took some Origin energy and fused it with his eye-bloodline technique.


    Back in the Continent Zone, the moment the Origin energy of his God''s Spiritual Eye appeared, it immediately suppressed the Origin energy of the other God Eye descendants and became the director of that powerful force. And this time, the eye-bloodline technique fused with his God''s Spiritual Eye''s Origin energy clearly had the same effect against this mysterious and indistinct power.


    "How could this be!?" Ancient God Black Extreme blurted out in shock. How could the energy created through their God Eye Fusion Art be obliterated?


    "A God Eye''s aura¡­!" Ancient God Profound Devil and the others were also dumbfounded.


    This was truly the first time they had ever seen such a thing. One of the energies Zhao Feng had unleashed in his attack was completely identical to the energy hanging over their heads.


    The God Eye descendants and Blazing Gold Race members saw that Zhao Feng''s attack was effective against that indistinct energy and immediately rejoiced. They had all believed that there was no hope, but at the crucial moment, a ray of light appeared.


    "Zhao Feng, your eye-bloodline is actually effective against their secret art!?"


    "Zhao Feng, help us!"


    Many of them immediately began to plead for Zhao Feng''s help. Zhao Feng had become their last and only hope of surviving.


    Kacrack!


    Zhao Feng slightly leaned forward and then suddenly fired off another eye-bloodline technique. Nearby, the beautiful girl, who was on the verge of being captured by a belt of light, was able to use this chance to escape.


    In truth, Zhao Feng wasn''t very willing to save these people. After all, it brought him no benefit, and these people would probably leak his secrets. There was the matter of the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, the treasures the cat had given Zhao Feng before being captured, and the secret of his God''s Spiritual Eye. However, surviving was the first priority, so Zhao Feng still saved these people to increase the strength of his own side.


    "Thank you!" The beautiful girl immediately got close to Zhao Feng to be safe.


    This time, everyone had seen with their own eyes Zhao Feng destroy that indistinct energy.


    "God Eye aura¡­" The expressions of all the God Eye descendants turned solemn.


    The major peril they were all in and the chaotic situation meant that they failed to notice this detail earlier. But now, as all of them stared at Zhao Feng, they could clearly sense the God Eye aura he exuded when unleashing his eye-bloodline techniques.


    However, it did not matter how dissatisfied they were with Zhao Feng or how much they lusted for his treasures or how curious they were about his eye. At this moment, they all needed to rely on his power to survive.


    Gradually, they all began to gather around Zhao Feng. But at this point, there were only five God Eye descendants left while the Blazing Gold Race only had four members.


    "Change plans. First, capture Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s face was ashen as he stared at Zhao Feng with cold and sharp eyes.


    "Mm!" The others all nodded.


    Too many incidents had taken place over this mission that they never expected. Even so, they would not fail, nor were they permitted to fail!


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    The two belts of light that Zhao Feng had destroyed were recreated. The three belts of light now rapidly assaulted Zhao Feng from three different directions.

 1313 The Enemys Trump Card

    Chapter 1313 - The Enemy''s Trump Card


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six gave up on capturing the other God Eye descendants and decided to capture Zhao Feng first. Three belts of hazy light shot toward Zhao Feng from three different angles.


    "Not good! They plan to capture Zhao Feng first!" Everyone else was alarmed by this sight.


    At present, Zhao Feng was their only hope for survival. Once Zhao Feng was captured, they would be thrown back into desperate straits. And so far, the only one capable of dodging those three belts of light was that mysterious thieving "Heaven''s Legacy Cat." Not even Lin Chengwu, with his mastery over Spacetime Intent, dared to contend with these three belts of light. Thus, none of them could imagine how Zhao Feng could possibly avoid these three belts.


    "We have to protect him!" Ancient God Departed Spirit struggled to say these words. Although they were extremely unwilling, this course of action was necessary.


    "That''s right!" The rest of the group nodded. Zhao Feng was their only hope to deal with Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six.


    "I didn''t think things would turn out like this." Ancient God Gilded Gold had a complicated expression.


    The strongest member of the Blazing Gold Race had already been slain, and a significant number of the other members had also been killed. Now, if the rest of them wanted to survive, they could only rely on the Spiritual Race''s Zhao Feng.


    But as Ancient God Profound Devil''s group began their attempts to capture Zhao Feng:


    Clingclingclang!


    Three chains of indistinct light flew toward the group.


    "Oh no!" The remaining four members of the Blazing Gold Race immediately paled in alarm. At this moment, they had no hopes that Zhao Feng would save them. They could only depend on themselves.


    The God Eye descendants also paid no attention to the Blazing Gold Race.


    "Death Light Wave!"


    "Destruction Flash!"


    "Extreme Space Blade!"


    ¡­


    The God Eye descendants aimed their attacks at the belts of light trying to wind around Zhao Feng. If they could block them for a few moments, they could create a chance for Zhao Feng to escape.


    Swish!


    A spatial blur appeared around Zhao Feng''s body, and then he blinked away.


    With the help of these people, I can directly attack Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six. Zhao Feng focused his eyes on Ancient God Profound Devil''s team.


    Bzzzz!


    Eye Intent began to madly surge in his left eye, producing a ball of dreamy light. At this moment, Zhao Feng was like a gigantic star, exuding a terrifying pressure.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" Zhao Feng roared, his left eye immediately unleashing a chaotic ball of dreamy light.


    Thwish!


    The moment the ball of light appeared, it vanished. A moment later, it appeared right in front of the defensive barrier in front of Ancient God Profound Devil''s team.


    "What a powerful eye-bloodline technique!" Ancient God Black Extreme''s face darkened.


    He normally wouldn''t be worried, because no matter how powerful an attack was, it would never be able to break through the energy produced by their God Eye Fusion Art. But Zhao Feng was different; his attacks were able to nullify the power produced through their technique.


    Such a powerful attack, if successfully executed, was certain to possess abnormal strength. But at this time, the six of them were busy controlling the belts and chains to capture Zhao Feng and kill the others. They had no time to worry about anything else.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s team sensed a blinding light, so dazzling that they couldn''t open their eyes. At the same time, a shockwave rippled through their bodies and souls.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "It actually broke through the defensive barrier!?" Ancient God Profound Devil had an extremely dour expression.


    "Just what is this power? How can it counter the energy formed from the fusion of our six Origin energies!?" One of his other comrades was unwilling to believe this was happening.


    The slim woman with the Eye of Destiny hid behind the others, her mouth shut. She had used her Eye of Destiny against Zhao Feng before, and not only had she failed to see anything, she suffered a powerful backlash. As a result, she did not dare to use it on him again.


    Despite these developments, they still could not lose!


    "Good!" The God Eye descendants were all shocked and elated by this sight.


    They had combined their powers twice before but failed to even slightly harm Ancient God Profound Devil''s team. But now, Zhao Feng managed to break through their defenses and even wound them a little.


    Swish! Swish!


    Zhao Feng continued to blink around, avoiding the clutches of those three belts of light with the help of the other God Eye descendants.


    But at this moment, a series of explosions came from the other side.


    Rumble!


    Ancient God Gilded Gold''s chest was pierced by a chain, causing his body of golden flames to explode.


    "Zhao Feng, all of you will die here¡­!" Ancient God Gilded Gold''s soul could not escape, and amidst his dying howls of pain, he cursed Zhao Feng and the other God Eye descendants.


    The remaining four members of the Blazing Gold Race were hunted down by the chains and killed one by one. Finally, all of the members of the Blazing Gold Race were dead.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve lost!" Ancient God Black Extreme stared at Zhao Feng and coldly smiled.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The three chains slowly transformed into belts of light. Now that everyone that needed to be killed had been killed, they could start capturing their targets.


    "Not good! We''re in danger!"


    "Damn! Why couldn''t those pieces of trash from the Blazing Gold Race last a little longer!?"


    The God Eye descendants immediately began to curse.


    With all the members of the Blazing Gold Race dead, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group could put all their focus into dealing with them. The six belts of light extending from that indistinct ball of energy sent chills through their bodies.


    But in reality, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six wasn''t faring very well. They had been using their secret art for too long. No matter how conservatively and precisely they used that mysterious ball of energy, they were finding themselves running short.


    "If this continues, we won''t have enough power to capture the other God Eye descendants," the slim woman whispered.


    The rest of them grimaced. They had never imagined that their mission this time would be so difficult.


    "Then just capture Zhao Feng and kill the rest!" Ancient God Profound Devil viciously said.


    Even though they had been told to capture the God Eye descendants alive, as long as the descendants didn''t self-detonate, they still had value even if they were dead.


    "Okay!" The other five agreed with Ancient God Profound Devil''s plan.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The six formed spells, controlling the belts to lunge at Zhao Feng from all directions.


    "What!? They''re only capturing Zhao Feng?" The God Eye descendants were all surprised.


    They originally believed that, since the Blazing Gold Race members had all been killed, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group would use their advantage to capture the remaining five people. Instead, Ancient God Profound Devil''s team was clearly just targeting Zhao Feng and ignoring the others. But this was nothing to be happy about.


    "It''s over! Zhao Feng won''t be able to escape!" The beautiful girl had a painful expression on her face. If Zhao Feng was captured, it would be their turn next.


    But at this moment, a dark silver robe suddenly appeared on Zhao Feng''s body, silver runes gleaming on its surface.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    After putting on the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng blinked away. The speed at which he blinked was so fast and the interval between the blinks so short that it was impossible for anyone to react. At this moment, his figure seemed to be everywhere in the central hall.


    "The Spacetime Robe!?" Lin Chengwu''s eyes were so wide open that they almost fell out.


    As an Eye of Spacetime descendant, he naturally knew that the Spacetime Robe was a supreme-quality supportive divine artifact. It not only had its own internal dimension that could increase the time available to cultivate, it could also boost the level of the user''s Spacetime Intent and boost the power of their Spacetime Intent combat skills. In addition, the Spacetime Robe had its own usable abilities, such as Spatial Blink and Spatial Barrier.


    "This kid actually has the Spacetime Robe!?"


    Everyone present immediately stared with envy at Zhao Feng''s supreme-quality divine artifact. The Spacetime Robe combined support, defense, and escape into a single divine artifact. It was extremely famous among the supreme-quality divine artifacts.


    "We can''t let him run!" Ancient God Profound Devil immediately warned. Zhao Feng simply had too many treasures on him. There were some things that needed to be handed over to their superiors, but they could keep the Spacetime Robe for their own purposes.


    "Mm!" The other five immediately nodded and controlled the belts of light into surrounding Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The central hall was filled with the figures of Zhao Feng and the sweeping belts of light. This central hall of the core area had long ago been rendered completely unrecognizable.


    If not for the Spacetime Robe, I probably would have been captured already, Zhao Feng inwardly muttered in shock.


    However, even with the Spacetime Robe, he had to be extremely cautious. If he let down his guard for just one moment, his enemies would immediately seize upon this weakness. Zhao Feng didn''t even have time to use any eye-bloodline techniques as he fled.


    "All of you, go!" Zhao Feng gave a simple message to the God Eye descendants.


    At this time, the only ones left were Ancient God Departed Spirit, Lin Chengwu, the beautiful girl, and the azure-robed elder.


    "Okay, okay!" They immediately nodded in response.


    "With such an excellent chance, we should kill them now!" Ancient God Departed Spirit''s eyes exploded with killing intent.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s team of six were putting all their strength into dealing with Zhao Feng, and they didn''t have any barrier to protect themselves. In addition, the six of them probably didn''t have much power left.


    Swoosh swoosh...


    The four God Eye descendants rushed at Ancient God Profound Devil''s group. Their eyes thrummed with Eye Intent as they prepared to launch their strongest attacks.


    "Ignorant!" Ancient God Profound Devil had a grim expression as he gave the four of them a disdainful glance.


    "We will not fail!" the rest of them coldly muttered. All of them were extremely confident in themselves.


    "Still acting tough in the face of death?" Ancient God Departed Spirit coldly snorted.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s team had six people, but they had expended too much energy on their secret art. The moment this secret art came to an end, they would have no fighting power to speak of.


    But at this moment, weak spatial ripples appeared around the group of six as six icy black figures suddenly emerged. Their eyes had a red luster and their bodies were covered in black steel armor. The massive black swords in their hands exuded a terrifying pressure.


    "These are¡­ Heaven''s Legacy automatons!" Ancient God Departed Spirit immediately cried out in alarm.


    "How could that be? They still had a trump card like this!?" Lin Chengwu''s face twisted in fear.


    Each member of Ancient God Profound Devil''s team had an automaton of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and most of these automatons exuded the pressure of a Rank Seven Ancient God. The two automatons belonging to Ancient God Black Extreme and Ancient God Profound Devil exuded the mighty aura of a Rank Eight Ancient God.


    Just the sight of these two automatons exerted a suffocating pressure.


    "Are we really destined to fall here?" The beautiful girl was extremely unwilling. Even though she had a Samsara Immortal Body, it was useless against Ancient God Profound Devil.


    "Kill them!" Ancient God Profound Devil snorted and gave the order.


    Clang!


    The six automatons simultaneously began to move, their clattering metal bodies ringing out like death knells in the minds of the God Eye descendants.

 1314 Powerful Servan

    Chapter 1314 - Powerful Servant


    The moment Ancient God Profound Devil''s team of six took out six automatons, everyone else present instantly despaired. Besides Zhao Feng, the other eye-bloodline descendants were in no condition to deal with six automatons, not even considering the fact that two of the automatons were Rank Eight Ancient Gods.


    "Are we really destined to fall here?" The beautiful girl was extremely unwilling. Even though she had a Samsara Immortal Body, it was useless against Ancient God Profound Devil.


    "Damn! There''s nothing to be done!" The other three were also shaking in fear. They were now in mortal danger.


    These people definitely aren''t ordinary! Zhao Feng''s eyes went dim.


    They knew of the Heaven''s Legacy Race ruins, could use the God Eye Fusion Art, could operate the Heaven''s Legacy Race installments and machines in the ruins, and even possessed powerful automatons. They almost certainly had powerful backing.


    Clang! Clunk! Bang!


    Down below, Ancient God Departed Spirit and the other three God Eye descendants were attacked by the six automatons.


    Although they were in desperate straits, they still vigorously fought back in the hopes of surviving.


    "Zhao Feng, just turn yourself in! Do you really think that you can escape?" Ancient God Black Extreme gave an evil smile.


    His comrades were extremely confused. They had already deployed their final trump card, but Zhao Feng had still not given up. Zhao Feng was incapable of leaving the central hall. Even with a life-preserving divine artifact like the Spacetime Robe, he would still find it very difficult to escape. The six automatons just needed to finish off the remaining God Eye descendants. Once they did, then even if Zhao Feng had the Spacetime Robe, he would not be able to keep running.


    Boom! Bang!


    At this moment, a Rank Eight Ancient God automaton cleaved the azure-robed elder in two, annihilating his soul as well. Just like that, a peak Rank Seven Eye of Destruction descendant had fallen.


    It seems like I can only borrow the strength of the Blood Flame Qilin Race¡­. Zhao Feng''s expression darkened. If he wasn''t in mortal peril at this moment, with barely any hope of survival, Zhao Feng would have never even thought about borrowing the power of the Blood Flame Qilin Race.


    But the space here isn''t stable, so I can only borrow the power of a Rank Eight¡­. Zhao Feng began to think.


    At this time, the beautiful girl and Lin Chengwu were slain by the automatons. In the end, Ancient God Departed Spirit was surrounded by the automatons.


    "Ah¡­!" Ancient God Departed Spirit saw that there was no chance of survival and decided to self-detonate.


    With the power of his Eye of Death, if he self-detonated, he would deal extensive damage to Ancient God Profound Devil''s team.


    "He''s going to self-detonate?" Zhao Feng''s expression flickered. Ancient God Departed Spirit''s self-detonation had the potential to create some opportunities.


    "Naive!" Ancient God Profound Devil grunted.


    At this moment, the six automatons surrounded Ancient God Departed Spirit. They extended their hands, unleashing a misty gray light.


    Bzzzz!


    These gray lights combined together into a boundary domain that engulfed Ancient God Departed Spirit and began to contract around him.


    Boom! Bang!


    Within this gloomy domain, Ancient God Departed Spirit valiantly self-detonated. The gloomy domain around him was blown to pieces, but the remaining energy was too weak to have much effect on the central hall.


    "So many tricks!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sigh.


    By now, everyone that came to explore these ruins had been dealt with by Ancient God Profound Devil''s team of six. If such a battle record got out, it would almost certainly stun the world.


    "Zhao Feng, you can''t escape now." Ancient God Profound Devil stared at Zhao Feng and smugly smiled.


    The others also gave faint and confident smiles of victory.


    "Is that so? And what will you do if I do escape?" Zhao Feng smiled as well.


    "Ignorant!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s face turned harsh.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The six icy automatons immediately charged at Zhao Feng.


    "Let me see how you escape!" Ancient God Profound Devil snarled. In these narrow confines, he wanted to see how Zhao Feng would escape from six automatons and six belts of light.


    Suddenly, a dreadful and overwhelming aura appeared at Zhao Feng''s side.


    Boom! Bang!


    An explosive crimson flame swept out from Zhao Feng. Although the six belts of light were not destroyed, they were severely hindered. As for the six automatons, other than the two Rank Eight automatons, the rest were blasted into the ground.


    "This energy¡­" Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six all grimaced. The owner of this energy not only had a powerful ancient bloodline, but was also a peak Rank Eight Ancient God.


    The flames dissipated, revealing an enormous blood-colored Qilin at Zhao Feng''s side.


    "Blood Flame Qilin Race!" everyone else murmured in shock.


    "How could a peak Rank Eight Ancient God appear here?"


    "Zhao Feng, the contract you signed with me means that you shouldn''t have been able to tell this matter to anyone else!" Ancient God Black Extreme immediately barked.


    Zhao Feng definitely had to do with a peak Rank Eight Ancient God suddenly appearing here, but Ancient God Black Extreme had clearly signed a contract with Zhao Feng forbidding him from divulging the matter to anyone else. Since this was the case, why was this peak Rank Eight Ancient God able to appear here?


    "Your Excellency, what are your orders?" As everyone else was feeling doubtful, the peak Rank Eight Ancient God got down on one knee and respectfully spoke.


    "''Your Excellency''!?" Ancient God Profound Devil''s team was both shocked and doubtful.


    A majestic peak Rank Eight Ancient God regarded Zhao Feng as his master? If this was really the case, then the peak Rank Eight Ancient God was just Zhao Feng''s servant. Zhao Feng could have it do anything without giving a reason. The peak Rank Eight Ancient God that appeared here almost assuredly was unaware of what was going on, so it didn''t violate the contract.


    "Take me out of this place," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    "Yes!" the Blood Flame Qilin respectfully said.


    After saying this, he formed a scorching flame energy in his mouth. If he could serve the Lord God, he would definitely do so with all his strength!


    "Oh no!" The members of Ancient God Profound Devil''s team were all taken aback.


    The energy produced by their God Eye Fusion was almost spent. The barrier around the central hall was already extremely fragile ¨C enough for Zhao Feng to easily break through it. With the help of a peak Rank Eight Ancient God, he would be able to easily escape the locked-down core area. Once Zhao Feng left this place, the Spacetime Robe would make him too difficult to chase down.


    Ancient God Profound Devil and the others immediately commanded their automatons to attack the Blood Flame Qilin. Their God Eye Fusion energy was almost spent, and if they used what was left against the Blood Flame Qilin, they wouldn''t be able to capture Zhao Feng, so they did not use it.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated his Chaos Origin Divine Power and unleashed a gloomy palm of light that howled forward to impede the automatons.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng unleashed an eye-bloodline technique infused with Origin energy at the barrier.


    Boom! Bang!


    The indistinct barrier that had enveloped the central hall was blasted apart.


    However, Ancient God Profound Devil''s team not only used this invisible barrier to cut off the area; they also had all the entrances to the central hall sealed. Although the barrier had been broken, it was still very difficult for Zhao Feng to escape.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Blood Flame Qilin suddenly unleashed a powerful attack against a wall, and the central hall trembled.


    On the other end, the automatons shattered Zhao Feng''s attack and charged at the Blood Flame Qilin.


    "Spacetime Barrier!" Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Spacetime Intent and activated one of the Spacetime Robe''s abilities.


    Hisssss!


    Layers of faint white energy began to appear between the Zhao Feng duo and the automatons. As the automatons attempted to approach, they were not only hindered by Space energy, but also slowed down by Time energy.


    "This guy''s grasp of Spacetime Intent is incredible. He was actually able to activate this ability of the Spacetime Robe!" Ancient God Black Extreme said in shock.


    The Spacetime Barrier was an upgraded version of the Spatial Barrier. It was meant for defense and possessed extremely impressive obstructive power.


    "Let me try!" A thin Eye of Spacetime descendant suddenly stepped forward.


    His Eye of Spacetime immediately began to turn, shrouding the automatons with Spacetime Intent. The effect the Spacetime Barrier had on the automatons was instantly decreased.


    Bang! Swish!


    The six automatons slashed out with their giant swords. Gradually, the Spacetime Barrier produced by the Spacetime Robe began to weaken.


    The automatons were now much closer to Zhao Feng and the Blood Flame Qilin, but at this moment:


    Boom! Bang!


    The peak Rank Eight Blood Flame Qilin succeeded in blasting a small hole in the walls of the central hall.


    The Blood Flame Qilin Race lived up to its name as a race skilled in combat, displaying ferocious combat skills.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng used Space Intent to bring himself and the Blood Flame Qilin through the hole and out of the central hall.


    "Not good! He''s running away!" The members of Ancient God Profound Devil''s team were all taken aback.


    "What do we do?"


    For a moment, they had no idea what to do. They were in extremely poor condition and in no state to risk themselves in a fight, and Zhao Feng had a peak Rank Eight servant. Two Rank Eight automatons wouldn''t be enough to deal with him and Zhao Feng.


    In addition, Zhao Feng was skilled in Spacetime Intent and had the Spacetime Robe. If they sent out too many of their automatons, they would have to worry that Zhao Feng might suddenly turn around and attack them.


    They were momentarily caught up in a dilemma.


    "Since that''s the case, just kill him!" Ancient God Profound Devil had an extremely dour expression. The state of this mission left him furious.


    "Our mission does not include Zhao Feng in the first place. If the information on us gets out, we''ll be finished!" Ancient God Black Extreme greatly approved of Ancient God Profound Devil''s suggestion.


    If they captured Zhao Feng, they would be richly rewarded, but if the information on them got out, they would be killed without question!


    "Okay! Destroy this place!"


    The rest of them stepped forward. They walked up to the eight-sided installation in the center. The six of them fumbled around with the installation, finally succeeding in making it produce a translucent white screen.


    "Activate the self-destruction process!" Ancient God Profound Devil called out.


    The screen turned a faint red.


    "After one hundred seconds, this place will annihilate itself. The three of you lay out the teleportation array while the rest of us will gather the remaining research results and data," Ancient God Profound Devil immediately ordered.


    The six began to carry out their duties. They needed to destroy these ruins anyway, so they decided to use this chance to kill Zhao Feng as well.


    They did not believe that Zhao Feng could escape from a destroyed dimension, not even with the Spacetime Robe.


    Meanwhile, after fleeing the central hall, Zhao Feng was using his left eye to see what Ancient God Profound Devil''s group was doing.


    "Eh! They''re gone?" Zhao Feng was rather confused.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s team could take control of the mechanisms and machines of this place to continue pursuing him.


    "What''s that?" Zhao Feng''s gaze locked onto the faint red glow around the eight-sided installation.


    He recalled that this installation didn''t have this glow before.


    The words on the red screen were in the language of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s, and Zhao Feng didn''t understand what they said. But for some reason, he had a very bad feeling.

 1315 Destructing Dimension

    Chapter 1315 - Destructing Dimension


    While Zhao Feng and the others were being pursued earlier, they went around the core area several times, so he was rather familiar with the area. After fleeing from the central hall, Zhao Feng found the closest path and began to work with the Blood Flame Qilin to flee.


    "They''ve gone to other areas of the core area to remove the remaining objects¡­." Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye could see through the walls for a certain distance, allowing him to see what was going on.


    The six enemies had divided into teams of three. Even if Zhao Feng turned around to attack them, he would not necessarily succeed in killing them. Thus, he decided to escape first. After all, these were ruins of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and the enemy could stroll through this place like it was their own garden for some reason.


    As for the little thieving cat, he could see from how much importance they regarded it with that they would not recklessly hurt the little thieving cat. Besides, Zhao Feng also understood that the little thieving cat had intentionally allowed itself to be captured.


    He and the little thieving cat were still linked by contract. Even if they were separated by an entire zone, there would still be a very weak connection. Once the little thieving cat was delivered back to their base, Zhao Feng would know where the faction behind these God Eye descendants was located.


    In addition, this faction knew the secret of the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, so there was a high chance that it had something that the little thieving cat needed. Otherwise, it would not have made an "error" and allowed itself to get captured.


    And the faction behind this group apparently researched God Eyes, so perhaps it had something that Zhao Feng needed too. This was precisely why Zhao Feng didn''t use more of the Blood Flame Qilin Race''s strength. Otherwise, those six God Eye descendants would have been no match for him.


    Although this was all very dangerous, the little thieving cat had the ability to divine fortunes, so it was probably confident in its chances.


    Boom! Bang!


    At this moment, Zhao Feng and the Blood Flame Qilin managed to blast open a small gap and rush through.


    "Your Excellency, this place seems to be a ruin left behind by the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" The Blood Flame Qilin was finding it very difficult to suppress its curiosity.


    "Escaping is more important." Zhao Feng didn''t explain too much.


    On the other end, Ancient God Profound Devil''s team had finished extracting vital research results and swiftly returned.


    "Damn! That Heaven''s Legacy Cat handed over quite a few research results to Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Profound Devil was rather vexed.


    "What use are they with him? Once this dimension is destroyed, he''ll be finished!" Another person snorted. However, it was still quite a pity to see such precious research results wasted like this.


    "There''s not enough time! Let''s go back!" the slim woman immediately said.


    The self-destruction process lasted only one hundred seconds, and only twenty of these seconds were left. To prevent any mishaps, it was better that they return as quickly as possible.


    In a certain narrow steel room, Ancient God Black Extreme and his two team members were waiting.


    "The teleportation array here is still completely preserved. I''ve just adjusted the location it will teleport us to. We can use it without worry!" Ancient God Black Extreme smiled and said.


    "Mm!" The group of six stepped onto the teleportation array platform.


    "Let''s go! Let that kid be buried together with this place!" A wicked smile appeared on Ancient God Black Extreme''s cold and gloomy face.


    The greatest stain on their mission this time was Zhao Feng. If not for him, their mission would have been completed very smoothly. And in the end, they weren''t even able to kill Zhao Feng themselves, having to rely on the self-destruction process of the Heaven''s Legacy city to do the job.


    "I really have to give it to that brat," the thin Eye of Spacetime descendant said with disdain.


    "Although he gave us a lot of trouble, at least he gifted us a Heaven''s Legacy Cat," Ancient God Profound Devil coldly said.


    "That''s right! But that cat should have a pet contract with that brat¡­."


    "What are you worried about that for? When he''s dead, the contract will undo itself."


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    The array activated, silver patterns drawing themselves out. A silver-white luster appeared, engulfing Ancient God Profound Devil''s team.


    On the other side, although Zhao Feng was still searching for the exit, he was still keeping track of Ancient God Profound Devil''s movements.


    "Teleportation array¡­! They''re leaving?" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    "They''re letting me go just like that?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile. It seemed like these people had no means of catching him, so they decided to not waste any time and just leave.


    But Zhao Feng still felt like something was wrong and began to think.


    "That''s wrong! I know so many of their secrets, so why would they just let me go?" Zhao Feng''s face contorted as he began to panic.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng once more looked at the eight-sided installation in the central hall.


    The faint red screen over the installation was constantly blinking. Although Zhao Feng couldn''t understand the words on the screen, he could see a red band of light extending from left to right, on the verge of reaching the end of the screen.


    "All the energy around the core area seems to be flowing to that place¡­." Carefully observing it, Zhao Feng realized that the eight-sided installation was gathering an enormous amount of energy, which was giving off intense shudders.


    "Not good! They''re going to destroy this place!" Zhao Feng cried out in alarm.


    From the perspective of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group, now that all of the important items in the ruins had been extracted, what was the point in keeping it around? That would just leave clues that other factions could use to investigate Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    Moreover, Zhao Feng knew so many of their secrets. They had no reason to let him go. These two things combined left Zhao Feng with only one possibility ¨C Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six wanted to utterly destroy this dimension and take down Zhao Feng with it!


    The central hall''s eight-sided installation was the highest-level machine in the core area. Not even Ancient God Profound Devil''s group could fully operate it. Thus, it could be said that this installation was the heart of these ruins and was linked with the entire dimension in which the ruins resided. And just a few moments ago, the eight-sided installation started acting strangely.


    "It''s bad! This place is about to self-destruct!" Zhao Feng hurriedly said to the Blood Flame Qilin.


    "Is there any way to swiftly escape this dimension?" Zhao Feng hurriedly asked. They were currently in mortal danger.


    "Escape this dimension?" The Blood Flame Qilin''s eyes froze. Even leaving this core area was rather difficult. How could they leave the entire dimension in just a single go?


    Zhao Feng knew that this Blood Flame Qilin could not accomplish this task, so he put it away in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "Since that''s the case, I''ll have to put it all on the line!" Zhao Feng was filled with determination.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body suddenly vanished. A moment later, powerful spatial ripples began to appear where he was standing.


    Hwooom!


    Zhao Feng and the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch appeared, with tiny spatial cracks appearing around the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch.


    If someone of Zhao Feng''s cultivation got too close to these spatial cracks, he would be torn to pieces. However, he had a supreme-quality defensive divine artifact in the Spacetime Robe, which was excellent for resisting these spatial cracks.


    "Your Excellency, this place is¡­?" The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch appeared confused. Zhao Feng had said nothing before bringing him to this place, leaving him rather befuddled.


    But the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch instantly noticed that the dimension was showing signs of breaking.


    "Your Excellency, this dimension is too low-level to hold me!" the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch immediately said.


    "Think of any method, no matter the price, to get me out of this dimension!" Zhao Feng hurriedly said. By now, the red band of light on the eight-sided installation had nearly reached the end.


    The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch finally realized how important this matter was. The Lord God would not lightly call him out unless he was facing a lethal crisis he could not resolve.


    "Okay!" The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch''s eyes became stern as powerful ripples of energy began to rise from his body.


    Hwooom!


    As the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch exhibited his supreme power, the surrounding space distorted, spatial cracks of all sizes tearing open, unleashing destructive storms of energy.


    Swoosh! Swish!


    Several dozen wounds appeared on the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch''s body. Although he had a powerful vitality, his recovery ability could not keep up with the rate at which he was injured.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng followed the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch''s orders and used the Spacetime Robe''s Spacetime Barrier. Spatial Barrier was excellent for defending against Space energy, and the upgraded version, Spacetime Barrier, was naturally even better at this.


    With the protection of the Spacetime Barrier, the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch was able to stabilize his wounds. And Zhao Feng, with the dual protection of the Spacetime Robe and Spacetime Barrier, was even safer.


    At this moment, the red band of light on the eight-sided installation finally reached the end. Destructive energy began to pulse through the entire core area.


    Zhao Feng immediately felt the suffocating stench of death.


    They really are destroying this dimension! Zhao Feng''s mind was given a jolt, and even his God''s Spiritual Eye was thumping. But his strength was too low to do anything about this situation.


    At this moment, runes of flame circled around the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch, thrumming with powerful Intent energy. The surrounding space instantly shattered.


    At this same moment, those runes of fire circled around the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch and Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Bang!


    The duo transformed into a bloody flame and explosively vanished.


    A primordial forest in the Ziling Zone was suddenly thrown into chaos.


    Booom! Whoosh!


    A massive spatial fissure opened, unleashing a destructive storm of energy on the surroundings. The area for hundreds of thousands of li around instantly became a forbidden zone.


    The destructive storm wreaked havoc on the area. Meanwhile, on the edge of this forbidden zone, two figures suddenly popped out of thin air.


    "How risky!" Zhao Feng''s heart was still rapidly thumping. The Spacetime Robe on his body was weakly glimmering; it had clearly been damaged while protecting Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng owed much of his survival to it.


    However, that spatial storm had still affected Zhao Feng somewhat. The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch''s powerful secret art had also placed some burden on Zhao Feng.


    Plush!


    The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch vomited fiery blood, faint embers visible within it. A fire immediately began to burn where the blood landed.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Are you okay?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch had been right in the middle of that unstable dimension, using his powerful spatial escape technique. Thus, he was severely wounded. There was not one part of his body that was whole, and some parts had been so badly mangled that the bone beneath was visible.


    "I''m fine. Although I''ve damaged some of my Yuan Qi, the injuries are not severe. But I might not be able to help Your Excellency deal with any major crises in the short term¡­." The Blood Flame Qilin Race began to use a secret recovery art before finally speaking.


    "Go back for now. I have remembered all your actions today!" Zhao Feng emotionally said.


    He truly owed a great debt to the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch. If not for him, then even with the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng would have been pulverized in both body and soul by that endless spatial storm.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng returned the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch to the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "Little thieving cat¡­." Zhao Feng slightly closed his eyes and began to extend his senses in a certain direction.

 1316 Taking Stock of the Harves

    Chapter 1316 - Taking Stock of the Harvest


    "Let''s get out of here first." Zhao Feng put the matter of the little thieving cat aside for now. Putting away the Spacetime Robe, he began to swiftly travel away.


    The large ruckus created here was certain to draw the attention of nearby factions. In addition, the Blazing Gold Race already knew of this place, and the Ancient God experts they sent in had been completely wiped out.


    He was confident that the experts of the Blazing Gold Race would soon arrive at this place. If they were to find Zhao Feng here, they would definitely try every method to blame Zhao Feng for it all.


    In addition, the God Eye Assembly had finished long ago, and he still needed to get back to the Spiritual Race.


    After a little more than two months, Zhao Feng smoothly returned to the Spiritual Race. Later that day, many of the upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race came to visit him.


    Zhao Feng currently had an extremely high status in the Spiritual Race, but when the God Eye Assembly concluded, Zhao Feng did not return. When they inquired with the Life Sacred Land about this, they learned that Zhao Feng had left midway. The Spiritual Race had ordered its intelligence members to gather information on Zhao Feng''s whereabouts, but their efforts were fruitless.


    "I''ve made all you worry!" Zhao Feng clasped his fist in his hand and apologized.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t slack off. Zhao Yufei is already the Third Elder''s inheritance disciple!" Ancient God Floating Spirit stroked his beard and chuckled.


    "Mm, Yufei has the Spiritual Race bloodline, and with the instruction of the Spiritual Race''s half-step God Lord, her cultivation, bloodline, and strength are certain to rise by leaps and bounds!" a black-robed Ancient God said.


    In his view, Zhao Feng had gotten too conceited after becoming an Ancient God. He had an eye-bloodline, but he hadn''t regarded the God Eye Assembly with much importance and left on a sudden impulse.


    One had to know that any other holder of an eye-bloodline would want to spend as much time at the God Eye Assembly as possible. There were some eye-bloodline holders who had a burning desire to participate in the God Eye Assembly but couldn''t. Zhao Feng was the first participant of the God Eye Assembly to actually leave midway through!


    "The Third Elder''s inheritance disciple?" Zhao Feng was taken aback.


    Wasn''t the Spiritual Race''s Third Elder that half-step God Lord who had offered to take him as a disciple after his breakthrough but was ultimately rejected? He had not expected that, while he was gone, the Third Elder would take Zhao Yufei as his disciple.


    However, Zhao Yufei truly had displayed an abnormal level of talent.


    "I will take my leave now." Zhao Feng bid farewell to the Elders.


    Zhao Feng did not tell the Spiritual Race about the matter of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    Firstly, their group only seemed to care about God Eye descendants. It didn''t have much to do with the Spiritual Race, and telling the Spiritual Race wasn''t guaranteed to be of much use. Secondly, if the matter of the Heaven''s Legacy Race ruins was revealed, it might actually bring him even more trouble. For example, others might begin to eye the treasures Zhao Feng had obtained.


    In addition, there was also all the people that had died in the ruins. The Blazing Gold Race, the major factions of the Antian Zone, and others would begin to target Zhao Feng.


    Thus, Zhao Feng had no plans to talk about this matter.


    After returning to his residence, Zhao Feng immediately entered seclusion.


    His first point of business upon entering the Spacetime Robe Dimension was recovering from his injuries.


    While recovering from his injuries, he took out everything he had gained from exploring the ruins.


    Elsewhere, the cultivating Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately opened its eyes and stared at Zhao Feng.


    In another corner of this dimension, Zhao Wang was holding the Staff of Death Curse with both hands as he cultivated.


    Zhao Wang had already obtained the recognition of the Staff of Death Curse. Together with the Death Liquid he had obtained from the Heaven''s Legacy Race, which the Staff of Death Curse helped refine, he had already reached the level of Rank Six True God.


    Zhao Feng picked out a crystalline test tube as thick as an arm from the pile. The red blood within gave off a lava-like feeling.


    Boom!


    Upon opening it, he was greeted by the scorching pressure of an ancient bloodline.


    "It''s a little lacking compared to the blood of the Blazing Gold Race, but stronger than the blood of the Blood Flame Qilin Race." Zhao Feng couldn''t determine what species this blood belonged to, only estimate its strength.


    "Master, this is the bloodline of the Flame God Race, ranked 48th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately said.


    "Rank forty-eight!?" Zhao Feng was startled. He had not expected that a random test tube would contain such a high-level bloodline.


    "Master, could you give that blood to me? With the blood of the Flame God Race, I can become a Rank Seven Ancient God in a single stroke!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a pleading expression.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    At its peak, it was only a peak Rank Six. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had long ago regained its original cultivation, but it was still lacking the strength to make a go at Ancient God. The Destruction Dragon Race bloodline also contained characteristics of the Flame Dao, so it could refine and absorb the energy of the Flame God Race bloodline.


    "Ask me later," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    This Flame God Race blood was also useful to him. Besides, such high-level blood naturally needed to be duplicated a few times first.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng put the blood into his God Eye Dimension and began to duplicate it.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon appeared disappointed, but it didn''t dare to talk back. It only stared at the objects laid out in front of Zhao Feng.


    There are four other kinds of blood of the same value as the Flame God Race blood, and there are some even more precious medicines¡­. A greedy look appeared on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s face. It was extremely curious to learn just how Zhao Feng had managed to suddenly get his hands on so many precious objects.


    Zhao Feng began to inspect the other objects. Although he couldn''t understand too much about them, his God''s Spiritual Eye allowed him to determine some of their properties.


    "The medicines in these small test tubes are even more valuable than the ancient bloodlines!" Zhao Feng cautiously looked at a row of small test tubes in front of him, which contained liquid, powder, or small pellets. By carefully observing them, he realized that each medicine had an inconceivable effect.


    One of these small test tubes contained a frosty paste that could evolve one''s Ice Dao bloodline. It could also be used by Ice Dao cultivators to advance one''s understanding of Ice Intent.


    Another one of the test tubes contained medicine targeted at the soul. It could transform the soul into a unique soul body with a certain level of probability. For example, Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body was extremely resistant to Tribulation Lightning and was practically immune to ordinary lightning. It could even devour lightning to strengthen his soul energy.


    The soul was a person''s foundation. The fleshly body could be remolded if it was destroyed, but the same could not be done for the soul if it was annihilated. From this, one could see just how important and valuable a medicine that could transform and strengthen the soul was.


    Besides the two aforementioned medicines, there were two other rather valuable medicines. There was also one last medicine for which Zhao Feng was unable to determine the effect.


    Besides that, there were also many cultivation resources that practically didn''t exist in the outside world, such as Seven-Colored Samsara Grass or Celestial Void Sacred Mushroom.


    After looking through all these items, Zhao Feng began to consider how to divide them.


    Firstly, he gave most of the Death Intent Crystals he had obtained to Zhao Wang. Zhao Feng had even obtained an Intent Crystal that had an Eye of Death inside.


    "See if you can''t take the Eye of Death inside this Intent Crystal and use it for yourself." Zhao Feng left this task for Zhao Wang to handle.


    If he needed it, he could refine it, and if he didn''t, he could do whatever he wanted with it. After all, the power of an eye-bloodline did not depend on the number of eyes owned. For example, the one-eyed Ancient God Profound Devil only had a single Eye of Myriad Forms, but he was the strongest member of his group.


    "The Flame God Race blood has finished duplicating." Zhao Feng took out two tubes of blood, but he didn''t hand them to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "The Flame God Race blood should also be of great use to the Blood Flame Qilin Race." Zhao Feng''s mind linked with the dreamy silver ball in his God Eye Dimension. A moment later, he disappeared.


    "This is Flame God Race blood!" The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch''s body trembled. Though he also had a Flame Dao bloodline, it was far inferior to the Flame God Race bloodline.


    Zhao Feng also gifted the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch with several more cultivation treasures of the Flame Dao. After all, this patriarch''s Yuan Qi had been greatly wounded in order to rescue him from that dangerous predicament.


    "Thank you, Your Excellency!" The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch accepted it all with deep gratitude. In his view, it was worth paying such a great price to save Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng returned to the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    "These things are all just too valuable. They would be extremely helpful to me, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Wang, Zhao Wan, and Zhao Hui."


    Zhao Feng intended to duplicate all these resources a few times before distributing them.


    Although his duplication ability had been greatly improved after the God''s Spiritual Eye evolved, these treasures were all of abnormally high quality, so duplicating them would be rather time-consuming.


    Fortunately, his time was relatively plentiful in the Spacetime Robe. After a bit more than a month, Zhao Feng had finished duplicating all these items once.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon obtained the Flame God Race blood that he had dreamed about.


    After duplicating all these things, Zhao Feng was anxious to get back to cultivating.


    "I want to save the little thieving cat and get close to the faction behind Ancient God Profound Devil''s group, but if I''m not strong enough, I''ll just be walking into my death."


    After taking a little time to firm up his foundations and taking some cultivation herbs, Zhao Feng was able to make a large stride in his cultivation, drawing close to the peak of Rank Seven.


    Zhao Feng was in no rush to advance any further. Instead, he stopped and began to cultivate his Intents.


    One day, Zhao Feng opened his eyes with a jolt.


    "Not good! The contract link between me and the little thieving cat has been blocked!" Zhao Feng''s face flickered.


    The methods available to Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six could not be judged according to common sense. Through his contract with the little thieving cat, they had probably already figured out that Zhao Feng was still alive.


    While Zhao Feng was in the Spiritual Race, he would probably not be in any danger. But without the contract link, how would Zhao Feng find the little thieving cat?


    At this moment, an object within Zhao Feng''s Interspatial Dimension faintly glimmered. It was a bronze coin, speckled with rust.


    "What''s going on? This bronze coin¡­" Zhao Feng immediately took the bronze coin out.


    Liu Qinxin had left this bronze coin for him back in the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. He remembered that the power contained in this bronze coin had already been used up, so why was this coin once more filled with energy?


    "I remember that when I left Flooding Lake City to avoid my engagement, Liu Qinxin used this bronze coin to sense the little thieving cat''s location and managed to find me¡­."


    Zhao Feng''s eyes brightened. The link he had with the little thieving cat had been blocked through some special method, but now, Zhao Feng could use this bronze coin to discover the little thieving cat''s location.

 1317 The Ancient God Seals Transformation

    Chapter 1317 - The Ancient God Seal''s Transformation


    After confirming that the bronze coin could sense the little thieving cat, Zhao Feng began to carefully examine it.


    Liu Qinxin had gifted him this particular ancient bronze coin when he was exploring the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace. For this reason, even after all of the energy had been consumed, Zhao Feng didn''t throw it away, nor did he let the little thieving cat take it.


    Zhao Feng had confirmed several times that the energy in this bronze coin had completely dissipated, so why, after several decades, did the bronze coin have power once more? This was simply too strange.


    And this energy seemed different from the energy the bronze coin used to contain. This energy was the even-more-profound energy of the Destiny Dao.


    Zhao Feng had no talent in the Dao of Destiny, and since he couldn''t understand it, he didn''t think too much about it. But this bronze coin was once more of enormous assistance to Zhao Feng. In his heart, he thanked Liu Qinxin, or rather, the reincarnated Liu Qinyin.


    "Once I''m finished with all this, I''ll take a trip back to the Continent Zone!" Zhao Feng had a determined expression.


    The Spiritual Race had the resources to open a path to the Continent Zone, it was just that normal people didn''t have the right to use it. However, Zhao Feng was an Ancient God as well as the most brilliant genius of the Spiritual Race, so he would encounter no difficulty if he asked the Spiritual Race to send him back to the Continent Zone.


    At this point, Zhao Feng had spent more time in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods than in the Continent Zone, but he felt a special connection to the Continent Zone and the Azure Flower Continent. He wanted to go back and spend time with his parents, see how his friends and teachers were doing, check if the Azure Flower Continent was safe, see what the situation of the Great Gan Dynasty and Dark Moon Dynasty was, and also see how Liu Qinyin was doing.


    If he was going to go back to the Continent Zone, Zhao Feng planned to stay for a while. Thus, he had to take care of the matter of the little thieving cat first.


    But saving the little thieving cat would require facing abnormal danger. The other side viewed the Heaven''s Legacy Cat with such importance that it would definitely put the little thieving cat somewhere extremely well-hidden and heavily guarded.


    "It''s far too dangerous at my current level of strength." Zhao Feng shook his head.


    Firstly, the members of this faction could use the God Eye Fusion Art, which already presented a massive obstacle. If Zhao Feng didn''t have the God''s Spiritual Eye, which could deal with this power, he wouldn''t have even dared to consider the idea at all.


    Secondly, he could see from Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six that the faction they belonged to was extremely unusual and almost certainly had many experts. Even though Zhao Feng had the assistance of the Blood Flame Qilin Race, he was still no match for this faction. Moreover, Zhao Feng didn''t want to borrow the power of the Blood Flame Qilin Race unless it was absolutely necessary.


    In short, this task was fraught with danger.


    "If I''m strong enough, then nothing is a problem."


    Swish! Swish!


    Several kinds of Intent Crystals and cultivation treasures for various Intents immediately appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    He now wielded Five Elements, Wind Lightning, and Spacetime Intent. The resources he required for all these Intents were truly astonishing. What was in front of Zhao Feng at this moment would be the equivalent of all an ordinary Rank Seven Ancient God owned.


    The price was great, but the results were also astonishing. After around two months, Zhao Feng had raised his Five Elements, Wind Lightning, and Space Intents to Level Six. In reaction, his Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique had risen to the second level, and his Chaos Origin Divine Power was now so powerful that it was equal to the Divine Power of a Rank Eight Ancient God.


    Only now did Zhao Feng stop cultivating his Intents.


    Swish!


    With a flip of his palm, a black metal triangle appeared in his hand.


    "Let''s see what sort of secrets you hold!" Zhao Feng''s left eye began to turn.


    The Ancient God Seal could be considered one of the best low-quality divine artifacts. When Zhao Feng had just arrived at the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, the Ancient God Seal was extremely useful, allowing him to crush many ordinary low-quality divine artifacts.


    Now that Zhao Feng was an Ancient God, this divine artifact was useless. But for some reason, Ancient God Black Heaven had pursued Zhao Feng over vast distances to get the Ancient God Seal. This meant that this divine artifact was not as simple as it seemed.


    "In terms of toughness, the Ancient God Seal is comparable to a high-quality divine artifact!" Zhao Feng murmured in surprise.


    A low-quality divine artifact had the toughness of a high-quality one. It was no wonder the Ancient God Seal reigned supreme among the low-quality divine artifacts. However, the division between divine artifacts was not decided solely on toughness.


    "I recall that there was a seal on the Ancient God Seal."


    Sending his mind into the Ancient God Seal, he once more sensed the seal within it. To his surprise, this seal was related to the Heaven''s Legacy Race and was extraordinarily complex, even having a spiritual aspect.


    As long as one had a special method, one could easily undo the seal. However, Zhao Feng didn''t continue to research it, nor could he casually expose the secret of the Ancient God Seal. He simply relied on raw strength, so it took some time to undo the seal.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng poured Chaos Origin Divine Power and Soul Power into the Ancient God Seal to batter away at the seal.


    While working on the seal, Zhao Feng continued to duplicate cultivation resources in his God Eye Dimension.


    Ten days later:


    "The seal is broken!"


    The Ancient God Seal in Zhao Feng''s hand suddenly began to thrum with enormous ripples of energy.


    On the other side, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was alarmed, because this energy was clearly on the Ancient God level.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Azure characters began to flow out of the Ancient God Seal and revolve around it.


    "How odd! It seems like they''re modifying the Ancient God Seal." Zhao Feng carefully examined the Ancient God Seal with his God''s Spiritual Eye.


    The toughness of the Ancient God Seal was on the level of a high-quality divine artifact, but its other properties were on the low end. But at this time, the energy seemed to be modifying the properties of the Ancient God Seal.


    After a long while, the ripples of energy began to slowly fade. Zhao Feng immediately sent his mind into the Ancient God Seal to see what had happened.


    The area where the seal had once resided was now an independent dimension. Inside this dimension was an enormous energy source that was linked to the entire Ancient God Seal.


    "Eh? This is¡­?" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused on one of the walls of this small dimension.


    A simple map had been carved into the wall, and an explanation written in the language of the Heaven''s Legacy Race had been written next to it.


    "Was the Ancient Soul Hall looking for this map?" Zhao Feng was rather confused.


    This map wasn''t very large, and it wasn''t very complicated either. Places that required maps were usually large zones or areas with complex terrain. Such a simple map should be of no great importance.


    There were some words of the Heaven''s Legacy Race next to the map. Zhao Feng couldn''t understand them, so he had no idea what other purposes this map had.


    The secret of the Ancient God Seal had been revealed, but it was of little use to Zhao Feng. The only benefit was that, with the seal undone, the Ancient God Seal had been modified and was now a high-quality divine artifact. Zhao Feng now had a usable divine artifact, increasing his power.


    High-quality divine artifact!? The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was dazed.


    It had some understanding of this divine artifact. What used to be a low-quality divine artifact just moments ago had suddenly transformed into a high-quality one.


    "It''s time to move out!" Zhao Feng rose and ended his seclusion.


    It had been more than three months since the little thieving cat was captured. Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six were probably about to return to their base.


    Zhao Feng had a rough estimate of the little thieving cat''s direction through the reaction of the bronze coin. It was in the same direction as the ruins of the Heaven''s Legacy Race that he had explored. The area was extremely close to the border of the Ziling Zone.


    Conjecturing further, Zhao Feng felt like they had probably already left the Ziling Zone. And in that direction was the Ziling Zone''s neighbor, the Antian Zone.


    Now that he was about to leave, Zhao Feng decided to pay a visit to Zhao Yufei.


    The Spiritual Race''s Third Elder resided in a forbidden zone of the Spiritual Race. Even Zhao Feng would first have to send a message before entering.


    "Brother Feng, you''re leaving again?" Zhao Yufei was somewhat unwilling to hear this.


    Zhao Feng had just returned to the Spiritual Race, but after so little time, with the two of them only meeting for the first time since his return, he was going to leave again.


    Zhao Feng could only say that he had lost the little thieving cat during the God Eye Assembly, and he could sense that the little thieving cat was probably in the Antian Zone.


    "That damn thieving cat¡­ I''ll go with you!" Zhao Yufei had a deep impression of the little thieving cat. Seeing that Zhao Feng was going to the far-off Antian Zone, she became extremely reluctant.


    "Yufei, remember what you promised your master!" At this moment, a timeworn and ethereal voice came from the depths of the forbidden zone.


    Zhao Yufei immediately put on a helpless expression.


    Zhao Feng''s expression turned strange, but after inquiring, he learned that Zhao Yufei had promised her master that she would only step out of the Spiritual Race once she cultivated to the Ancient God level.


    As for the reason, it was actually because Zhao Feng had refused to become the Third Elder''s disciple and was now an Ancient God. Thus, the Third Elder wanted his own disciple to catch up to Zhao Feng as soon as possible and even surpass him.


    Zhao Feng didn''t even need to examine Zhao Yufei to know that, even though she had only broken into Rank Five recently, she was already at the peak of Rank Five.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The Spiritual Race bloodline truly deserves its reputation, and it seems like the Third Elder has placed great hopes on Zhao Yufei, putting almost all his strength into training her. Zhao Feng mentally gave a soft sigh.


    He was confident that, even if he had taken the Third Elder as his master, he would not receive the same treatment as Zhao Yufei. After all, Zhao Yufei''s Spiritual Race bloodline was what the Spiritual Race cared about the most.


    "I can''t go. Brother Feng, you have to take of yourself¡­." Zhao Yufei immediately withdrew her words.


    "Brother Feng, the Spiritual Race should be sending a group to the Antian Zone soon. Go with them. It will be safer!" Zhao Yufei remembered something and proposed.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng nodded, and then he left the forbidden zone.


    He hadn''t yet decided when he was going to leave the Spiritual Race, so Zhao Feng decided to pay a visit to the upper echelon of the Spiritual Race. While there, he decided to ask about the matter Zhao Yufei had mentioned.


    "Correct, there truly is such a group. The Spiritual Race has always had commercial dealings with the five-star Black Devil Peak of the Antian Zone. In one month, the Spiritual Race will be sending a batch of products to Black Devil Peak," Ancient God Floating Spirit explained.


    In the end, Zhao Feng decided to join this group.


    The vast distance meant that the trading mission would be traveling on a large warship. Zhao Feng was in no particular rush, so by traveling via warship, he could get to his destination quickly and even use the time to cultivate and raise his strength. Thus, Zhao Feng proposed to join this group.


    Before leaving, Zhao Feng took a stroll around the Spiritual Race and paid a visit to Pan Hao.


    He also decided to bring Zhao Hui with him. Upon bringing Zhao Hui back to the Spiritual Race, he arranged for Zhao Hui to become an inner disciple. During his stay in the other faction, Zhao Hui had made significant advancements in his cultivation and had already gained a rudimentary grasp of the Medicine Dao.


    Zhao Feng hadn''t had much time to focus on Zhao Hui recently, so he planned to bring him along to rapidly strengthen Zhao Hui''s cultivation. Zhao Hui also had a chance of being useful in some other aspect.


    A month later, Zhao Feng boarded the Spiritual Race''s warship of blue and white steel and set off for the Antian Zone.

 1318 Pitiful Kun Yun

    Chapter 1318 - Pitiful Kun Yun


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of six would definitely have found out through Zhao Feng''s pet contract with the little thieving cat that he was still alive. Zhao Feng was sure that, once they found he was still alive, they would think of many different ways to eliminate him.


    The faction Ancient God Profound Devil''s group belonged to was extremely abnormal. It would be extremely easy for it to find information on Zhao Feng. It might even send people to watch the Spiritual Race, and once Zhao Feng emerged, it would attempt to capture or assassinate him.


    For this reason, on this excursion to the Antian Zone to pick up the little thieving cat, Zhao Feng had to work from the shadows and conceal his identity. Otherwise, he might end up alerting his enemy to his location.


    But not even the Eye-Shrouding Art could completely conceal the color of Zhao Feng''s eye and hair, and such external traits were unique even in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Since this was the case, Zhao Feng had to think of another idea.


    On the Spiritual Race''s warship:


    "Who is this person?" a black-robed elder stared at Zhao Hui and asked in displeasure.


    "Elder, this junior is Zhao Hui, inner disciple of the Spiritual Race!" Zhao Hui had a genial smile.


    This was Zhao Feng''s plan; he would use Zhao Hui as a substitute to act in his place.


    Zhao Hui was already an inner disciple of the Spiritual Race, so his identity would not draw any suspicion here. In addition, Zhao Hui had earlier broken into the Heavenly Divine Realm, becoming a Rank Three True God. This sort of cultivation level was very easy to disregard and wouldn''t bring any problems when investigated.


    "This is an inner disciple that has caught the eye of this old man. This old man intends to take him as a disciple soon and is taking him out to gain some experience." Ancient God Floating Spirit gave the explanation that Zhao Feng had provided.


    Ancient God Floating Spirit was once Zhao Yufei''s master, and he naturally wouldn''t refuse a request from Zhao Feng.


    Ancient God Floating Spirit''s words caused the other people on the warship to take a few more glances at Zhao Hui. But no matter how they saw it, Zhao Hui was just an extremely mediocre person.


    "How lucky!" Jin Kun mumbled.


    An ordinary disciple that had just entered the Spiritual Race and barely reached Rank Three was already favored by an Ancient God Elder of the Spiritual Race. Such luck was simply incredible.


    This trade convoy to the Antian Zone was also a kind of mission. Other than the three Ancient God Elders, there were four Ancient God disciples who had taken this mission.


    The three Elders were Ancient God Floating Spirit, a black-clothed Ancient God, and an old woman with silver hair. Of the four disciples, Zhao Feng recognized only one: Jin Wei''s older brother, Jin Kun.


    "This really is a good identity!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled as he ordered Zhao Hui to leave and go back to his room.


    Zhao Hui''s appearance made everyone a little suspicious, but they had no interest in paying attention to an ordinary Rank Three True God.


    Upon returning to his room, Zhao Hui activated the array, indicating that he was cultivating and shouldn''t be disturbed.


    Of his clones, Zhao Feng had interacted with Zhao Hui the least. Zhao Hui had mostly relied on himself on his path of cultivation. This time, Zhao Feng personally instructed Zhao Hui in cultivation, even giving him a detailed curriculum.


    Zhao Hui''s position was that of a doctor, and as a doctor, he did not require fighting power, but he did require speed and ways of escaping. Thus, Zhao Feng modified the Metal Lightning Radiance Wings into a method of flight suitable for Zhao Hui. As for the Intents that Zhao Hui needed to comprehend, Water and Wood were foremost while Wind and Space were secondary.


    After passing on the appropriate lessons and providing the necessary cultivation resources, Zhao Feng began to busy himself with his own affairs.


    The operation to save the little thieving cat was extremely dangerous. The more powerful he was, the greater the chance of his success. Zhao Feng could not waste a single moment, putting it all into cultivation.


    Now that he had cultivated to the second level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, he could cultivate the high-level Chaos Origin Divine Power combat skills such as Chaos Origin Divine Fist and Chaos Origin Shield. Besides these, Zhao Feng also cultivated spacetime eye-bloodline techniques, Spatial Shift, and more.


    After around three months, the Spiritual Race''s warship left the Ziling Zone and entered the Antian Zone.


    Zhao Feng emerged from the Spacetime Robe Dimension and took out the bronze coin. When the bronze coin was traveling in the same direction as the little thieving cat, it would shine with a starry luster.


    "It really is in the Antian Zone!" Zhao Feng also discovered that the bronze coin was traveling in the same direction as the warship''s final destination, Black Devil Peak.


    Zhao Feng had originally planned to set off on his own once he arrived at the Antian Zone, but since his target was in the same direction as Black Devil Peak, Zhao Feng decided to travel with the Spiritual Race to Black Devil Peak before setting off on his own.


    Black Devil Peak was one of the five-star factions of the Antian Zone. It would be much easier to gather information where so many people were congregated.


    Zhao Feng returned to the Spacetime Robe Dimension and continued his seclusion. Only after he had solidified the second level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique and familiarized himself with the combat skills of that level did Zhao Feng choose to rest for a while.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out a translucent chestnut-shaped crystal from his Interspatial Dimension. Inside the crystal was clearly a pair of eyes.


    This was a pair of Eyes of Spacetime. It was the pair that the little thieving cat had stolen from the eight-sided installation. Before being captured, the little thieving cat had given this pair of Eyes of Spacetime to Zhao Feng.


    "My Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique primarily cultivates Space Intent. If I had a clone with the Eye of Spacetime, it would be of great assistance to me while I''m comprehending Space Intent¡­." Zhao Feng had an idea.


    Only by giving this pair of Eyes of Spacetime to his next clone could he maximize the value of these eyes. However, he was still studying the fourth level of the Soul Splitting Technique, so the fourth clone was still quite some way from being able to be formed.


    One day, the Spiritual Race warship finally arrived at Black Devil Peak. Zhao Feng finally emerged from his seclusion.


    "The mission this time is rather simple." Jin Kun stood at the front of the warship and gave a satisfied smile.


    Zhao Feng learned that the Spiritual Race warship had been waylaid by bandits twice, but the Spiritual Race Ancient Gods had easily taken care of them.


    Zhao Hui and Zhao Feng, who had been in seclusion the entire time, had no idea these incidents had occurred until now. Of course, this was also because Zhao Hui was so weak that everyone else had forgotten about him.


    "In the past, the Spiritual Race''s trading missions would be intercepted and hindered by the Blazing Gold Race, but for the Blazing Gold Race to not send anyone this time is rather surprising¡­." The silver-haired old lady had a grim look in her eyes.


    Zhao Hui quietly chuckled to himself. In the Heaven''s Legacy Race ruins, nine Ancient Gods of the Blazing Gold Race, including a Rank Eight Ancient God, had fallen.


    Even to a five-star faction, this was an enormous loss. If the two five-star factions got into a war at this time, the Blazing Gold Race would lose without question. They were undoubtedly using this time to lick their wounds and build back their power, so they had no time to worry about the Spiritual Race.


    Zhao Feng turned to look at the thick sea of black fog before them. Five precipitous mountains were soon spotted looming out of the black mist, like the claws of a ghost seeking to climb out of the earth.


    Black Devil Peak, one of the Antian Zone''s five-star factions, was not controlled by any major race. Rather, it was a sect that took in every kind of disciple.


    ¡­


    On one of the outer peaks of Black Devil Peak was a fighting stage, around which many disciples of Black Devil Peak had gathered.


    At this moment, a golden figure plunged to the ground.


    "Big Bro Cloudbreaker!"


    "True God Cloudbreaker is here!"


    The surrounding spectators cried out in alarm.


    True God Cloudbreaker possessed the Eye of Destruction and was one of the inner peak disciples of Black Devil Peak. It was rumored that he was already at the peak of Rank Three. He just needed to enter Rank Four, and he would become a core disciple.


    "Big Bro Cloudbreaker, you came again!" A tall youth who seemed to be little more than a bag of bones went up to welcome him.


    "According to your orders, I''ve had outer peak disciples challenge him every day. You came at just the right time. The battle isn''t over yet!" The skeletal youth gave a fawning smile.


    He was the most senior of the outer peak disciples, but True God Cloudbreaker was on the verge of joining the ranks of core disciples. With his Eye of Destruction, his future prospects were limitless.


    "I will award whoever wins this battle with a Divine Blood Pill!" True God Cloudbreaker spotted a golden figure on the stage and gave a playful smile.


    Two figures were fiercely battling on the stage.


    Kaboom!


    A black-clothed youth gripping a metal claw unleashed a massive black skeleton. The other person, a golden figure, didn''t have time to react and was pushed back to the edge of the stage, his body covered in bleeding wounds.


    "Kun Yun, after all this time, you haven''t gotten stronger at all!" The black-clothed youth gave a leisurely smile.


    "Damn!" True God Kun Yun clambered up. Ignoring the black-clothed youth, he shot a glare at the distant True God Cloudbreaker. He was in such a state precisely because of this person.


    "Since that''s the case, Big Bro Cloudbreaker''s Divine Blood Pill is mine!" The black-clothed youth gripped the black metal claw and slashed at Kun Yun.


    Boom! Bang!


    True God Kun Yun was too riddled with wounds to put up a fight and was thrown off the stage.


    "It''s yours!" True God Cloudbreaker took out a pill that looked like blood-colored glass and threw it to the black-clothed youth, after which he prepared to fly off.


    "Cloudbreaker!" Kun Yun clenched his golden fists, his blood-red eyes glaring at True God Cloudbreaker.


    He had come to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods ten years ago and managed to luckily enter a five-star faction. But to his surprise, the Continent Zone''s Demigod Destruction was also at Black Devil Peak. He had come a little earlier than Kun Yun, and both his bloodline and talent were better, so he received better treatment from Black Devil Peak.


    Originally, True God Cloudbreaker was just unintentionally suppressing Kun Yun, paying little attention to him, but his attitude changed ever since the God Eye Assembly. Every day, he would have the outer peak disciples humiliate Kun Yun.


    Alas, Kun Yun was still not able to leave Black Devil Peak. He knew that, the moment he left, True God Cloudbreaker would have him killed.


    Brrrooom!


    At this moment, a gorgeous warship of blue and white steel howled past their heads.


    "This is a warship belonging to the Spiritual Race of the Ziling Zone. Every few decades, Black Devil Peak and the Spiritual Race will visit each other and make a few trades," one of the older outer peak disciples emotionally said.


    "Spiritual Race warship!?" True God Cloudbreaker''s body trembled as he stared at the warship.


    Zhao Feng is a member of the Spiritual Race! True God Cloudbreaker began to panic.


    He naturally knew about Kun Yun''s relationship with Zhao Feng. If Zhao Feng learned that he was treating Kun Yun this way, he wouldn''t be forgiven. But Zhao Feng had no idea where Kun Yun would end up, so he surely wouldn''t specifically come to Black Devil Peak just for that.


    But he had no idea that, inside this blue and white warship, a somewhat scholarly youth with rather ordinary looks was coldly looking at him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

 1319 Paying a Visi

    Chapter 1319 - Paying a Visit


    When Zhao Feng saw Kun Yun, he couldn''t help but think about the thirty-year agreement he made with him back in the Continent Zone.


    "Forty years have passed since then!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but reminisce.


    Although forty years was practically insignificant to others, to Zhao Feng, these forty years were extremely long.


    "I didn''t think that both of them would be here." Zhao Feng felt that the ways of the world were truly inexplicable.


    In the Continent Zone, Kun Yun and True God Cloudbreaker belonged to opposing dynasties. Now that both of them were in Black Devil Peak, they naturally couldn''t be friends.


    Whether it was in strength or status, True God Cloudbreaker was far superior to Kun Yun. He could easily play around with Kun Yun until he was dead. There was no need to even think in order to know that Kun Yun was probably being suffocated to death.


    The relationship between Zhao Feng and Kun Yun could be described as purely transactional in nature. However, the two had known each other for so many years, and without Kun Yun, Zhao Feng would have never reached his current state. Besides, Zhao Feng did not have any good impression of True God Cloudbreaker and actually rather detested him.


    So, Zhao Feng decided to lend a hand.


    Brrrooom!


    The blue and white warship shuttled through the black mist and soon arrived at the most central of the five black peaks. Several members of Black Devil Peak''s upper echelon were already waiting at the summit.


    "Guests from the Spiritual Race, welcome! Black Devil Peak has been rude in not coming out to greet you." A large black-robed elder immediately stepped forward, his powerful aura immediately oppressing Zhao Hui.


    "Elder Tao is too polite!" The silver-haired old lady from the Spiritual Race immediately stepped forward.


    All the members of the Spiritual Race disembarked from the warship and were led by the upper echelon of Black Devil Peak into the central mountain.


    "And who is this young man?" An elder with a demonic face and white-and-black tattoos across his body looked with surprise and disdain at Zhao Hui.


    "He is a Spiritual Race disciple that caught my eye. I decided to bring him along so that he could gain some experience," Ancient God Floating Spirit said.


    Ancient God Floating Spirit was a Rank Eight Ancient God of the Spiritual Race''s senior generation, and he had come to Black Devil Peak several times, so he was extremely familiar with the elders of this faction.


    "Oh?" The elders of Black Devil Peak all sized up Zhao Hui, but since they didn''t notice anything special about him, they paid him no more attention.


    Besides, he was just a Rank Three True God. Even if there was something special about him, he wasn''t worth their attention.


    Zhao Feng noticed while they were walking that three elders, including Elder Tao, were extremely friendly, while the demon-faced elder and another elder treated the Spiritual Race rather coldly.


    The upper echelons of the two five-star factions chatted as they came to the main hall.


    "This junior will not involve himself with the matters of the seniors." Before entering the main hall, Zhao Hui decided to bid farewell.


    Both sides found Zhao Hui''s words to be a sign of his tactfulness.


    After bidding farewell, Zhao Hui prepared to go to the black peak where Kun Yun was.


    Not long after he left, Zhao Hui took out the bronze coin.


    "What a powerful starlight!" Zhao Hui was shocked.


    The light emitted by the bronze coin almost made Zhao Feng think that the little thieving cat was hidden here. But after testing the reaction of the bronze coin some more, Zhao Hui confirmed that it wasn''t here.


    "But it''s not far!" A gleeful look appeared on Zhao Hui''s face as he put the bronze coin away.


    He could not be rash on this mission to pick up the little thieving cat. At the very least, he first had to gather information before cautiously infiltrating the enemy.

    Zhao Hui flew into the black mist, away from the central peak.


    As he was passing by the second peak, by sheer coincidence, he ran into True God Cloudbreaker. Zhao Hui couldn''t expose his identity at this time, and True God Cloudbreaker was a disciple of Black Devil Peak. Zhao Feng would need a reason before he could take care of him. Thus, Zhao Feng decided to ignore True God Cloudbreaker and find Kun Yun first.


    "How is it that I''ve never seen you before? Don''t you know that only inner peak disciples can enter this mountain?" Seeing that Zhao Hui hadn''t even greeted him, True God Cloudbreaker called on Zhao Hui to stop.


    It had to be known that even a few highly-ranked inner peak disciples would greet True God Cloudbreaker when they saw him, and yet this ordinary youth of mediocre strength only gave True God Cloudbreaker a cold glance of indifference?


    "I''m not an inner peak disciple, but so what if I go in?" Zhao Hui rudely replied. He was an honored guest from the Spiritual Race; what could True God Cloudbreaker do to him?


    "You¡­ are you talking like that to me?" True God Cloudbreaker''s face froze in surprise, and then he spoke in a grim tone.


    Since Zhao Hui wasn''t an inner peak disciple but still dared to butt heads with him, no one would complain if True God Cloudbreaker struck back and beat Zhao Hui until he was half-dead.


    "Is this how Black Devil Peak treats its guests?" Zhao Hui couldn''t help but sneer.


    "You''re¡­ a Spiritual Race disciple?" True God Cloudbreaker was startled, and his gloomy expression instantly vanished.


    From Zhao Hui''s words, he was able to guess who this person was. But from what he knew, the commercial dealings between the Spiritual Race and Black Devil Peak had always been carried out between the upper echelons.


    But this time, the Spiritual Race had actually brought a Rank Three True God? This was proof that Zhao Hui possessed unusual status. Moreover, the Spiritual Race was a far more flourishing five-star faction than Black Devil Peak.


    "My apologies. This one''s eyesight is poor and did not think that Good Sir was a talent of the Spiritual Race!" True God Cloudbreaker immediately squeezed out a smile


    "Hmph!" Zhao Hui coldly snorted in disdain and left.


    This act had True God Cloudbreaker''s lips twitching, his heart burning with rage. However, Zhao Hui was a guest from afar. If he provoked Zhao Hui, he would end up harming the relationship between the Spiritual Race and Black Devil Peak.


    "Why don''t I take Good Sir on a tour of this place!" True God Cloudbreaker proposed.


    He began to act friendly, taking on the role of a host. If he had a chance, he could take care of Zhao Hui, and even if that caused him some problems, they wouldn''t be too serious.


    "That''s fine." Zhao Hui thought for a few moments before agreeing.


    Black Devil Peak could be considered a Devil Dao faction. It was a place where fish and dragons mixed together, and disciples frequently vied against each other in the daylight and schemed against each other in the shadows, even challenging each other to duels at the drop of a hat.


    Zhao Hui appeared to be weak, which would inevitably lead to some problems. If he could travel together with True God Cloudbreaker, he could avoid these conflicts while also ordering around this rascal.


    Guided by True God Cloudbreaker, Zhao Hui traveled from the inner disciple peak to the outer peak. On the journey, many disciples were extremely curious about the weak youth next to True God Cloudbreaker.


    "Brother Zhao, this place is for outer peak disciples. There''s nothing to see here." True God Cloudbreaker faintly smiled.


    "That''s fine. When I arrived, I saw an acquaintance, so I''m planning to pay him a visit." Zhao Hui showed little fear.


    "Oh? I didn''t think that Brother Zhao knew someone of Black Devil Peak. Who is this person? Perhaps I know them." True God Cloudbreaker was dazed for a few moments before he finally managed to speak up.


    In truth, True God Cloudbreaker was wondering how someone of Zhao Hui''s status managed to become acquainted with an outer peak disciple of Black Devil Peak.


    "Kun Yun!" Zhao Hui smiled as he stared at True God Cloudbreaker.


    "Kun¡­ Yun?" A strange look appeared on True God Cloudbreaker''s face.


    He truly couldn''t understand how Kun Yun could have any sort of connection with a disciple of the Spiritual Race. Kun Yun had only been in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods for a very short time, and he had never even been to the Ziling Zone. If Zhao Hui didn''t appear to be a complete stranger, he would have even suspected Zhao Hui of being from the Continent Zone. How else would he know Kun Yun?


    When he thought about his own relationship with Kun Yun, True God Cloudbreaker really didn''t want to take Zhao Hui to him, but his expression just now clearly showed that he knew Kun Yun.


    "True God Cloudbreaker, good day!"


    "For what reason has True God Cloudbreaker honored us with his presence?"


    Almost all of the outer peak disciples called out to True God Cloudbreaker in greeting when he arrived. True God Cloudbreaker seemed to enjoy it, a proud look on his face as he walked past the countless outer peak disciples.


    "Brother Zhao, this way!" True God Cloudbreaker faintly smiled.


    "Who is that next to True God Cloudbreaker? How is it that I''ve never seen him before?"


    "From the look of it, he probably has some high status!"


    All of them had initially taken Zhao Hui to be someone trying to get in True God Cloudbreaker''s good graces, but True God Cloudbreaker''s attitude just now made their jaws drop. Out of curiosity, many outer peak disciples decided to follow the pair.


    Zhao Hui and True God Cloudbreaker soon arrived at Kun Yun''s residence.


    "They came to find Kun Yun!"


    "Haaa, Kun Yun has already been taught a lesson today. With True God Cloudbreaker personally paying him a visit, he''s doomed!"


    Quite a few outer peak disciples chuckled in anticipation of the show they were about to witness. All of them knew that True God Cloudbreaker had been targeting outer peak disciple True God Kun Yun, but True God Cloudbreaker rarely went to see Kun Yun personally. It seemed like all of them were about to witness quite a show.


    Gradually, more and more outer peak disciples began to gather. Within his residence, Kun Yun noticed something strange.


    "True God Cloudbreaker, just what are you up to?" Kun Yun charged out and viciously glared at True God Cloudbreaker.


    It was True God Cloudbreaker that caused him to be humiliated and beaten up every few days. Kun Yun only endured by imagining a day in the future where he could surpass True God Cloudbreaker and wash away all his past disgraces.


    "Brother Zhao, pay this no mind. There exists a small misunderstanding between me and Kun Yun," True God Cloudbreaker casually said. With his status in Black Devil Peak, even if Zhao Hui had some relationship with Kun Yun, he wouldn''t be able to do anything to him.


    Just what is this scoundrel trying to do? Kun Yun became wary. True God Cloudbreaker definitely hadn''t come to visit him for anything good.


    Kun Yun also began to take stock of the youth standing next to True God Cloudbreaker.


    He appeared to be an ordinary youth, simply incapable of comparing to True God Cloudbreaker''s status. But since he was together with True God Cloudbreaker, he definitely wasn''t a good person. In fact, it appeared like Kun Yun had yet another enemy.


    But to Kun Yun''s surprise, Zhao Hui spread apart his arms and walked toward him.


    "Kun Yun, long time no see! How did you end up like this?" Zhao Hui appeared ready to embrace Kun Yun in a hug.


    Kun Yun couldn''t help but take two steps back as he stared at Zhao Hui in surprise.


    This sight also left the outer peak disciples dumbfounded. Wasn''t Kun Yun the person that was constantly being targeted by True God Cloudbreaker? Why was it that someone who was together with True God Cloudbreaker was being so friendly toward Kun Yun?


    Although they couldn''t understand what was going, the majority of the crowd believed that True God Cloudbreaker was up to something. In a little while, Kun Yun was certain to suffer an even more unbearable humiliation.


    "Kun Yun, I haven''t seen you in such a long time that you don''t even recognize your friend anymore?" Zhao Hui smiled as he hugged Kun Yun. At the same time, he began to exude Wood Intent.


    Zhao Hui was specialized in the Medicine Dao, and the cultivation resources and profound techniques Zhao Feng had given him allowed him to reach an extremely high level in the medicinal arts.


    "This is¡­?" Kun Yun was stunned. This strange man that had come with True God Cloudbreaker was treating him like a brother and even treating his wounds.


    "Kun Yun, was the Hall of Gods still doing well when you left?" Zhao Hui''s voice suddenly rang out in Kun Yun''s mind.


    Kun Yun appeared to be struck by a lightning bolt, his body turning stiff as he stared in disbelief at Zhao Hui.

 1320 Kun Yun Goes to Battle

    Chapter 1320 - Kun Yun Goes to Battle


    Kun Yun appeared to be struck by a lightning bolt, his body turning stiff as he stared in disbelief at Zhao Hui. From Zhao Hui''s words, Kun Yun was sure that this person was someone from the Continent Zone''s Great Gan Dynasty, perhaps even connected to the Hall of Gods.


    But Kun Yun couldn''t remember anyone like this in the Hall of Gods. After all, there were only a few people who had any hopes of reaching the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    But since this person knew him and meant no harm, Kun Yun really didn''t care about the rest. His current circumstances were unbearable, and it seemed like he would be True God Cloudbreaker''s plaything for the rest of his life. This Zhao Hui who had appeared out of nowhere had an unusual status and was extremely friendly to him. He might be able to borrow Zhao Hui''s strength to escape his wretched situation.


    Since this person messaged me privately, that means he doesn''t want anyone else to know about this. Kun Yun''s mind was whirring, and then he looked at True God Cloudbreaker.


    Although he didn''t know what Zhao Hui wanted, Zhao Hui probably wanted to help him, so Kun Yun decided to work with him instead of exposing him.


    "You finally know how to pay me a visit¡­?" After a while, Kun Yun laughed and replied.


    The surrounding outer peak disciples watched this strange scene in confusion, not knowing how it would develop. Why did someone who had come with True God Cloudbreaker appear to treat Kun Yun so kindly?


    "How could your injuries be so heavy? Here! This is a sacred medicine for treating wounds." Zhao Hui had already healed Kun Yun''s injuries, but he still said such words.


    Zhao Hui turned his hand over, revealing ten-some kinds of precious herbs and medicines.


    Two of these truly were meant for healing wounds, and would even have great effect on the injuries of Rank Four or Rank Five True Gods. The rest were cultivation resources.


    "Am I seeing things? That''s Red Lotus Fruit, and also True Dragon Leaves, and even Yin Yang Origin Life Pills¡­."


    The precious objects that Zhao Hui took out had all the Devil Dao disciples nearby greedily eyeing him. The strongest of the outer peak disciples were only Rank Three True Gods, so the items that Zhao Hui had taken out were all incredibly valuable to them.


    This kid definitely has some kind of special status in the Spiritual Race! True God Cloudbreaker was also rather excited as he looked at those treasures. He didn''t have any good impression of Zhao Hui, especially since Zhao Hui was acquainted with Kun Yun.


    Meanwhile, Kun Yun was utterly dumbfounded. This stranger was not only treating him like a brother and treating his wounds, but he was also even offering him many precious treasures.


    Kun Yun was wondering if he was dreaming. How could the heavens be raining down so much fortune on him?


    But even though he was confused, he wouldn''t refuse to take these items. Kun Yun immediately took all these items.


    With these precious resources, I can break through into Rank Three soon¡­! Kun Yun was extremely excited.


    With Zhao Feng''s help, he was able to get into the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods while being just a Demigod. Moreover, he had been re-cultivating from just a drop of blood, and in those thirty years after Zhao Feng left, he constantly firmed up his foundations and built up energy.


    For those reasons, in the fifth year after he arrived at the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he directly broke through into Rank Two of the Heavenly Divine Realm. But by coincidence, he ended up in the five-star faction that was Black Devil Peak, where True God Cloudbreaker hindered him so much that he failed to advance any further.


    All of the outer disciples watched in agitation as Kun Yun received these treasures, but none of them dared to try anything.


    "Brother Zhao has countless treasures, so I''m sure that your strength is just as abnormal!" True God Cloudbreaker suddenly said in a sinister tone.


    The outer peak disciples shot glances at True God Cloudbreaker, wondering what he was up to.


    "Average," Zhao Hui simply replied.


    "Brother Zhao is too humble. The Spiritual Race is more powerful than Black Devil Peak, so I''m sure the majority of Black Devil Peak''s Rank Three True Gods should all be no match for you!" True God Cloudbreaker embellished Zhao Hui''s strength.


    "He''s from the Spiritual Race!? He must have come on that warship!"


    At this moment, Zhao Hui''s identity was finally made clear. Everyone finally understood that Zhao Hui was not one of True God Cloudbreaker''s companions.


    But now they couldn''t understand how the Kun Yun that they had bullied around could know someone from the Spiritual Race, and someone with a rather unusual status as well.


    "Spiritual Race¡­?" Kun Yun muttered.


    These two words made him think of Zhao Yufei, but not even Zhao Yufei could possibly know his exact location.


    "This True God Hei Ku wishes to receive instruction from a genius of the Spiritual Race!" A skeletal youth stepped forward.


    As one of True God Cloudbreaker''s companions, True God Hei Ku understood his thinking very well.


    These words immediately had the crowd buzzing with excitement. It was evident that Zhao Hui''s relationship with Kun Yun made True God Cloudbreaker rather hostile to him.


    True God Hei Ku was a Rank Three True God, the best of the outer sect disciples, and a powerful fighter.


    "Brother, I''m no match for him. Why don''t you fight in my place?" Zhao Hui said to Kun Yun.


    These words left everyone dumbfounded. After all, True God Hei Ku was a Rank Three True God while Kun Yun was a Rank Two True God. Despite this, the Rank Three True God Zhao Hui was asking a Rank Two True God to fight in his place?


    If not for the fact that True God Cloudbreaker was clearly showing hostility to Zhao Hui, they would have all believed that Zhao Hui was working together with True God Cloudbreaker to make trouble for Kun Yun.


    "This¡­" Kun Yun''s mind was completely blank.


    The Zhao Hui that had been so friendly to him was now pushing him into a sea of fire. What was going on here?


    "If Kun Yun is the one fighting, Big Bro Hei Ku has no need to go. Let me go!" a black-clothed youth in the crowd said with a wicked smile.


    Kun Yun''s face turned gloomy as he stared at this person. This youth was none other than the peak Rank Two True God who had already taught him a lesson today.


    "Brother Zhao, if you don''t care about your pride, you can have your friend fight on your behalf!" True God Cloudbreaker spoke with a threatening tone.


    If Zhao Hui went up to fight, he had an eighty percent chance of losing to True God Hei Ku, but if he didn''t fight, then Kun Yun would have to fight. If that happened, the relationship between the two would naturally fall apart.


    "I''m a doctor! I''m not skilled in fighting!" Zhao Hui stated his occupation, much to the surprise of the crowd.


    Not even True God Cloudbreaker had expected for Zhao Hui to be a doctor. If that was the case, then his words just now were rather inappropriate. Challenging a doctor was already rather embarrassing, not even accounting for the fact that Zhao Hui was a guest.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    But it was impossible to take back his words now.


    "Since that''s the case, Kun Yun, let''s play around a bit!" The black-clothed youth stepped onto the fighting stage, as he looked tauntingly at Kun Yun.


    "You¡­!" Kun Yun''s face instantly went red.


    This youth had just given him a savage beating earlier, leaving his body covered with wounds. Even though these injuries were all healed now, he was still no match for this black-clothed youth.


    "Kun Yun, when I arrived, I happened to see your fight. I noticed that you didn''t have any proper divine weapon. Why don''t you borrow a few weapons from me and then go and fight him?" Zhao Hui asked with a smile.


    The black-clothed youth was unperturbed. Even if Kun Yun had a divine weapon, he would still be no match for him.


    Kun Yun remained silent and stared at Zhao Hui, wondering what he was thinking. But a moment later, Zhao Hui opened his hand, revealing three dazzling divine artifacts.


    These three treasures were a large black hammer, a suit of golden dragon armor, and a red cloud cape. These three divine artifacts exuded an astonishing aura that drew in the stares of the entire crowd.


    "These are¡­ three average-quality divine artifacts!" The black-clothed youth on the stage swallowed as he stared in shock.


    "He actually took out three average-quality divine artifacts at once!?"


    The others also sighed in wonder, their eyes shining with greed.


    "This¡­! Then I''ll have another fight with you!" Kun Yun was stunned at first, but then his face revealed an ecstatic expression.


    Average-quality divine artifacts were meant for Rank Four to Rank Six True Gods. These were divine artifacts that he normally didn''t even have a chance of seeing. With three of them, he really did have a chance of victory.


    Swish!


    With these three divine artifacts, Kun Yun jumped onto the stage. Barely activating these divine artifacts, Kun Yun already felt an invincible power bolstering his strength. With a terrifying momentum, he thundered toward the black-clothed youth.


    "These three divine artifacts sit at the peak of average-quality divine artifacts! Only a Rank Five True God can fully control them!" True God Cloudbreaker''s expression darkened.


    These three divine artifacts were divided between attack, defense, and support, and they made Kun Yun practically invincible among Rank Two True Gods, even allowing him challenge Rank Three True Gods.


    Boom! Bang!


    Just as expected, the two exchanged only five moves before Kun Yun sent the youth flying off the stage with a blow of his hammer. The youth vomited blood several times before finally clambering off the ground.


    "Haha!" Kun Yun heartily laughed as he walked off the stage.


    Not since he came to Black Devil Peak had ever felt so refreshed. He had obtained so many resources, could use average-quality divine artifacts, had defeated his foe¡­


    "Kun Yun, these divine artifacts suit you so well! I''ll just give them to you!" Zhao Hui said with a smile.


    Kun Yun almost tripped in shock. These were three average-quality divine artifacts that Zhao Hui was giving him.


    Although he was extremely reluctant to give them up, they were truly too valuable to just take. But after Zhao Hui''s fierce insistence, Kun Yun eventually accepted them.


    The outer peak disciples were all dazed and dumbfounded by what they were seeing. With those cultivation resources and three average-quality divine artifacts, Kun Yun was invincible in the outer peak and could probably enter the inner peak.


    "But¡­" Kun Yun became rather dejected.


    Even a guiltless man with treasure would invite disaster upon themselves, not to mention someone who already had many enemies. Once Zhao Hui left, True God Cloudbreaker would definitely target him and try to seize all these items.


    At this moment, a voice rang out in Kun Yun''s mind; "When the people from the Spiritual Race are about to leave, go with them to the Spiritual Race!"


    "Haha, Brother Zhao, let me show you some other places!" True God Cloudbreaker gave a sinister smile.


    While Zhao Hui was here, Kun Yun would be fine, but once Zhao Hui was gone, things wouldn''t be so certain. These cultivation resources and divine artifacts would all be his.


    "Okay." Zhao Hui nodded and prepared to leave.


    "Good Sir, who are you? Why are you helping me?" Kun Yun was bursting with gratitude, but once he calmed down, he messaged Zhao Hui. He did not believe that someone who had no relationship with him would do all these things for him.


    "Little Kun Yun, your memory is truly awful. You''ve even forgotten who I am?" With these words, Zhao Hui left with True God Cloudbreaker.


    Kun Yun''s soul was given a shock, and he stood where he was and stared at the departing Zhao Hui. In his life, only one person had ever called him Little Kun Yun, and that person was the one who had helped revive him from a drop of blood ¨C Zhao Feng!

 1321 Another Meeting with Young Master Hai

    Chapter 1321 - Another Meeting with Young Master Hai


    After leaving the outer peak, Zhao Hui came to Black Devil Peak''s exchange zone.


    The size of a five-star faction''s exchange zone was tantamount to the territory of a four-star faction: a small country in itself. This exchange zone was meant solely for the use of Black Devil Peak''s disciples, divided into areas for the outer peak disciples and inner peak disciples. For this reason, the place was packed with people.


    "I''m very familiar with this place. Brother Zhao, if there''s anything you need, please ask!" True God Cloudbreaker said with a smile.


    Zhao Hui had come here to gather information, but with True God Cloudbreaker following him, moving around was rather inconvenient. Thus, Zhao Hui just casually looked around to familiarize himself with the area. When he was free, he could come back again.


    To his surprise, Zhao Hui noticed that there were quite a few tools and instruments containing the technology of the Heaven''s Legacy Race to be found in Black Devil Peak''s exchange zone.


    Perhaps I might be able to actually find something here, Zhao Hui quietly noted to himself.


    The place where the little thieving cat was being hidden wasn''t very far from the territory of Black Devil Peak. And Black Devil Peak was one of the five-star factions of the Antian Zone, a place where dragons mixed with snakes, good people with hoodlums. It was definitely possible to gather some information on the mysterious faction backing Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    "Brother Cloudbreaker, I''m going back to the main peak to see how the negotiations between the upper echelons of our two factions are going." Zhao Hui bid farewell and began to head to Black Devil Peak''s main mountain.


    "This kid¡­! A mere Rank Three True God, of which there are countless among the inner disciples of the Spiritual Race, can actually go in and out of the main peak as he pleases!" True God Cloudbreaker privately grumbled once Zhao Hui was gone.


    Only core disciples were permitted to go in and out of the main peak, and he did not have this right. However, the inner disciples of the Spiritual Race could traverse the core area of Black Devil Peak as they pleased. This made him extremely unhappy and rather jealous.


    Zhao Hui headed straight for Black Devil Peak''s main peak, but before Zhao Hui could approach the main hall, he saw both side''s upper echelons fly out.


    "My juniors in Black Devil Peak have long heard of the supreme might of the Spiritual Race''s geniuses. Let''s have them exchange some pointers with the disciples of the Spiritual Race," the demon-faced elder of Black Devil Peak said with a smile.


    "You''re too kind! But in terms of pure combat strength, the disciples of the Spiritual Race are no match for the disciples of Black Devil Peak," the silver-haired old lady from the Spiritual Race calmly replied.


    If not for the fact that Black Devil Peak''s upper echelon members had requested this over and over again, she would have never agreed to this exchange of pointers. This was because the four Ancient Gods the Spiritual Race had brought were not the strongest Ancient God disciples they had.


    "The Ancient God disciples of the Spiritual Race that came this time are only those who happened to take the mission. Good Sirs of the Black Devil Peak, please don''t take it too seriously!" Ancient God Floating Spirit immediately said, doing his best to lower the expectations for the Spiritual Race disciples.


    It seems like the two factions aren''t that friendly after all, Zhao Hui quietly noted.


    The Ancient Gods had long ago noticed his arrival, but the Ancient God upper echelon members could hardly care about some trifling Rank Three True God.


    Zhao Hui silently followed at the back of the group to see what was going on.


    "Zhao Feng, if the Spiritual Race is no match in this bout, can you go out?" Ancient God Floating Spirit messaged.


    Zhao Feng had exhibited his power in the gambling match between the two races. In this instructive bout between these two factions, Black Devil Peak would probably have the slight advantage anyway, but if Black Devil Peak was unreasonable and sent its powerful geniuses to humiliate the Spiritual Race disciples, Ancient God Floating Spirit hoped that Zhao Feng could take action to salvage the situation.


    "Wasn''t the Spiritual Race on friendly terms with Black Devil Peak? How did things turn out like this?" Zhao Feng asked in return.


    "No faction is completely united, and factions like Black Devil Peak are even more divided than usual¡­." Ancient God Floating Spirit slowly began to explain the situation to Zhao Feng.


    As it turned out, Black Devil Peak was rife with fierce internal conflicts. There were currently two powerful parties in Black Devil Peak, and only one of them was on good terms with the Spiritual Race. This party was represented by Elder Tao. The other party''s representative was the demon-faced elder.


    The two parties struggled against each other as they vied for the ultimate authority over Black Devil Peak. Elder Tao''s party was using the commercial dealings with the Spiritual Race to exchange for resources needed to increase the strength of the entire faction. Meanwhile, the other party would definitely try to interfere, doing their utmost to break down the relationship between the two sides. However, they didn''t want to overdo it, or else they would offend the Spiritual Race too deeply and unleash even worse consequences.


    "This means that the party the demon-faced elder belongs to wants to use this method to humiliate the Spiritual Race and cause the Spiritual Race to gradually lose its good impression of Black Devil Peak." Zhao Feng quickly understood the reason for this incident.


    He had no plans of revealing himself. This place was a five-star faction of the Antian Zone. Zhao Feng could not expose his identity here. The moment he did, the faction backing Ancient God Profound Devil would immediately find out. Not only would his mission to retrieve the little thieving cat fail, Zhao Feng would also be in great danger.


    The upper echelons of the two factions quickly arrived in a small and independent dimension. Inside this dimension was a land of precipitous mountains and towering trees.


    "This is the place. There''s no area marked out for fighting or any boundary domain. You can fight as you please!" The demon-faced elder heartily laughed.


    "Which disciples of Black Devil Peak will be fighting?" the silver-haired old lady asked. She knew of all the well-known geniuses of Black Devil Peak.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    At this moment, a spatial disturbance appeared next to the group. A moment later, a handsome and bewitching youth with starry eyes emerged.


    "It''s him?" Zhao Hui was stunned.


    This youth was none other than the Young Master Hai who had lost to Zhao Feng in the gambling match during the God Eye Assembly.


    Zhao Feng knew that, if True God Cloudbreaker was here, Young Master Hai obviously had to be here as well, but he had never imagined that the two of them would have a chance to meet.


    "My respects to the seniors of the Spiritual Race." Young Master Hai faintly smiled and bowed.


    "So, it was the youth with Star Eyes of Black Devil Peak, Young Master Hai." The silver-haired woman had heard a little about him.


    Of course, this was not because Young Master Hai was incredibly strong, but because of his unique pair of eyes. They were extremely powerful, comparable to those of the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    In short, Young Master Hai was not one of the best Ancient God disciples of Black Devil Peak, but he also wasn''t the worst.


    "Jin Kun, you go!" The silver-haired old lady picked out who would go.


    Of the four Spiritual Race Ancient God disciples, only Jin Kun had the Spiritual Race bloodline. The Spiritual Race bloodline could effectively suppress the power of Young Master Hai''s eye-bloodline.


    "Yes!" Jin Kun immediately stepped forward.


    He had also heard of Young Master Hai before, but their strengths were probably comparable. If he could defeat Young Master Hai and win some glory for the Spiritual Race, he would definitely receive contribution points upon his return.


    "Please instruct me!" Young Master Hai gave an evil smile and then flew off into the distance.


    Jin Kun charged out, and the two didn''t fly very far before they began to battle.


    "Star Flash!" Young Master Hai used the flying skill that he was so proud of, and his body was shrouded in a starry mist as he began to rapidly fly through the air.


    "How fast! But I don''t need to chase him." Jin Kun stood his ground, a white luster on his body. It was clear that he cultivated some kind of high-level body-refining art.


    The Spiritual Race bloodline was skilled in defense, and together with Jin Kun''s body-refining art, ordinary Ancient Gods would be incapable of wounding him. Thus, he boldly stood his ground and waited for Young Master Hai to attack him.


    "Celestial Star Explosion!" Young Master Hai activated his Star Eyes and unleashed a dazzling beam of starlight.


    Meanwhile, a crescent moon bow appeared in his hand. This was a high-quality divine weapon that worked extremely well with his Star Intent to exhibit enormous amounts of power.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The world exploded while the earth cracked and groaned.


    "Young Master Hai seems to be skilled in speed and has fierce attacks, while Jin Kun seems to have made further progress in his Divine Spiritual Jade Body. Together with the Spiritual Race bloodline, his defense should be like an impregnable fortress!" A look of praise appeared on the Spiritual Race''s black-clothed Ancient God Elder. Jin Kun was much stronger than they had thought him to be.


    "Black Devil Peak''s Young Master Hai is also quite extraordinary to be able to use Star Intent at this level¡­."


    Although Jin Kun''s strength was unexpected, Young Master Hai could still not be underestimated. The result of this bout was probably fifty-fifty. Winning would be fine, but a defeat would not be too one-sided.


    "That''s too much praise! The Spiritual Race is worthy of its top-twenty rank. It''s able to suppress Young Master Hai''s Star Eyes to this state." Despite the demon-faced elder''s words, he was not worried in the slightest.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Young Master Hai has gotten even stronger! Zhao Hui''s eyes dimmed.


    Zhao Feng had fought Young Master Hai before. At the time, Zhao Feng needed to use spacetime eye-bloodline techniques to defeat him.


    Young Master Hai was even stronger now, and he fought this battle with skill and ease. He was not using his full strength but was seemingly looking for an opportunity.


    Just as expected, after some time had passed, Jin Kun began to tire out.


    Star Intent was an Intent that combined explosive aggression and extreme speed in one package. It was much stronger than ordinary Intents.


    The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race gradually began to grimace.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" At a certain moment, Young Master Hai suddenly unleashed a powerful star eye-bloodline technique.


    Young Master Hai became a massive star on the verge of destruction, approaching Jin Kun far faster than he could react.


    Boom! Bang!


    The incredibly vast energy of a star impacted against Jin Kun''s defensive Divine Power.


    What a powerful energy! Jin Kun sensed danger and immediately used the Spiritual Race''s secret bloodline technique to reduce his injuries.


    "Haha! You lose!" Suddenly, Jin Kun heard a voice behind him.


    Young Master Hai poured the energy of his Star Eyes into the crescent moon bow and unleashed a dazzling arrow of starlight, which tore through Jin Kun''s defenses and struck him.


    Boom! Bang!


    Jin Kun''s body crashed down, creating a massive crater in the ground.


    "It seems like it really is as Ancient God Floating Spirit said; the disciples the Spiritual Race brought were just randomly selected." The demon-faced elder appeared slightly smug.


    The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race had dour expressions. Jin Kun had lost too quickly, and Young Master Hai was practically unscathed. This was a completely one-sided battle. And it was a disciple with the Spiritual Race bloodline that had lost, making it even more embarrassing.


    "Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Floating Spirit couldn''t help but glance at Zhao Hui, hoping that Zhao Feng would show himself. Zhao Feng had a high-level eye-bloodline, so it probably wouldn''t be difficult for him to defeat Young Master Hai.


    "Mm? Could this youth favored by Ancient God Floating Spirit be the true genius of the Spiritual Race?" The demon-faced elder gave a wicked smile as he looked at Zhao Hui.


    "Why not have a Rank Three disciple of my Black Devil Peak have an instructive bout with this young talent of the Spiritual Race?" the demon-faced elder asked, a jeering tone to his voice.


    The upper echelon of the Spiritual Race did not reply. Zhao Hui was just some nobody inner disciple. Meanwhile, if Black Devil Peak sent a Rank Three True God, they would undoubtedly send one of its best. Zhao Hui''s defeat was certain.


    But to their surprise, the taciturn Zhao Hui suddenly spoke up; "Then this junior will show his incompetence."


    Zhao Hui faintly smiled as he accepted the challenge.


    He was just thinking about how to refuse Ancient God Floating Spirit''s request. After all, the man had treated him rather well. However, this demon-faced elder was only sending a Rank Three True God to fight him. If that was the case, Zhao Feng didn''t need to refuse Ancient God Floating Spirit because he could go out to fight while still keeping his identity hidden. There was no reason not to accept.

 1322 Zhao Hui Versus True God Cloudbreaker

    Chapter 1322 - Zhao Hui Versus True God Cloudbreaker


    "This¡­" Ancient God Floating Spirit''s expression froze.


    Zhao Feng didn''t agree before, but when the elder proposed to send a Rank Three True God to fight him, he suddenly agreed. This meant that Zhao Feng wanted to use this clone to fight on the Spiritual Race''s behalf. However, Ancient God Floating Spirit was confident in Zhao Feng himself, not this ordinary clone with only the cultivation of a Rank Three True God.


    "Kid, what did you say?" The other disciples of the Spiritual Race all yelped in surprise.


    In their view, Zhao Hui had no chance of winning. After all, they were all Ancient God experts, and from what they could see, Zhao Hui wasn''t very strong.


    The Spiritual Race upper echelon members were also very unhappy. This inner disciple thought far too much of himself.


    "Then it''s settled! The disciples of the Spiritual Race truly are all young heroes!" The demon-faced elder heartily laughed, and then he took out a message token. He long ago had a candidate in mind for the Rank Three True God to fight in this instructive bout.


    He had already given the Spiritual Race enough face in the battle of Rank Seven Ancient Gods by not sending out the best Rank Seven Ancient God. He judged that the bout between Rank Three True Gods wouldn''t have much effect, so sending an elite disciple to crush Zhao Hui wouldn''t do very much.


    "Hmph!" Jin Kun returned with a lowered head, and as he looked at Zhao Hui, he gave a scornful snort. Black Devil Peak had clearly planned this out so that the Spiritual Race wouldn''t win today, and yet this kid thought of himself so highly that he had volunteered to go and fight.


    After a little while, a golden figure appeared in the independent dimension.


    "Elder, what are your orders?" True God Cloudbreaker excitedly asked.


    An Ancient God of Black Devil Peak''s upper echelon had called him over almost certainly to assign him some mission. If he did it well, he was certain to rapidly ascend in status.


    "Exchange some pointers with this Spiritual Race disciple, and hone your strength while you''re at it," the demon-faced elder indifferently said.


    Despite his tone, True God Cloudbreaker had the Eye of Destruction and was definitely one of the best Rank Three True Gods. The Spiritual Race''s Zhao Hui couldn''t possibly be any match for him.


    "Yes! Which individual from the Spiritual Race will I be exchanging pointers with?" True God Cloudbreaker gave a confident smile.


    "Me!" Zhao Hui stepped forward.


    "It''s¡­ Brother Zhao!?" True God Cloudbreaker was dazed at first, but then he broke into a smile.


    The upper echelons of both sides appeared a little taken aback since these two seemingly knew each other.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "I happened to run into Brother Zhao a little while ago and took him around Black Devil Peak," True God Cloudbreaker explained, and then he asked, "But, Brother Zhao, weren''t you a doctor?"


    When he threatened Kun Yun, Zhao Hui refrained from actually fighting, so why was he choosing to fight for the Spiritual Race now? Was his identity of doctor fake?


    "Doctor!?"


    These words had the members of both sides flabbergasted.


    The Spiritual Race Elders and disciples almost cursed out loud. You said you were a doctor and yet you still dare to go and fight? The sheer recklessness!


    "I still have some experience in battle. Defeating you shouldn''t be a problem," Zhao Hui was unperturbed as he calmly replied.


    The Black Devil Peak party almost burst out laughing. The people of Black Devil Peak were well aware of True God Cloudbreaker''s strength. A doctor of the same cultivation level saying that he could beat True God Cloudbreaker was the biggest joke in the world.


    The Spiritual Race members were furious and vexed at Zhao Hui''s shamelessness. However, Zhao Hui had already agreed to fight, so they couldn''t stop him from doing so.


    "Please!" Zhao Hui circulated some Wind Intent and shot into the air.


    "This¡­"


    To everyone''s surprise, True God Cloudbreaker remained where he was, apparently rather apprehensive.


    "True God Cloudbreaker, what''s wrong?" The demon-faced elder growled.


    A mighty Eye of Destruction was actually shrinking back from battle against a doctor!? How shameless!


    "Elder, this is just a friendly exchange of pointers. Can we have a rule forbidding the use of divine weapons and support tools¡­?" True God Cloudbreaker somewhat awkwardly asked.


    There was no way he could keep quiet about this matter. He had earlier seen with his own eyes Zhao Hui gift Kun Yun three average-quality divine artifacts. Who knew if Zhao Hui might possess even more formidable divine artifacts or tools?


    The demon-faced elder''s expression darkened. True God Cloudbreaker''s words left him extremely unhappy. But when he remembered that True God Cloudbreaker had interacted with Zhao Hui before, he concluded that there had to be a special reason for this request.


    "I feel that it is much easier to display one''s own strength when not borrowing external power. Good Sirs from the Spiritual Race, what do you think?" The demon-faced elder managed a smile.


    The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race had strange expressions, but they didn''t refuse.


    "Great! Brother Zhao, let me see just how strong you are!" True God Cloudbreaker''s face froze for a moment, and then he charged forward.


    He had never met anyone who could contend against himself among Rank Three True Gods. His Eye of Destruction endowed him with incredible offensive might. A restriction on divine weapons was a major boon to him.


    Bzzzz!


    True God Cloudbreaker''s eyes were filled with dazzling golden light that exuded Intent energy that could destroy all.


    "The Eye of Destruction!?" the Spiritual Race members called out in alarm.


    They were even more unhappy now. They hadn''t expected for Black Devil Peak to even send out a God Eye descendant for this instructive bout. Moreover, the Eye of Destruction in particular had the strongest damaging ability, and holders of this eye really didn''t need divine weapons.


    "Destruction Flash!" True God Cloudbreaker bellowed, his eyes shooting out dazzling golden beams of light.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Hui condensed two wings of blue-colored wind, and his body rippled with Space Intent as he drifted here and there.


    "Eh? This kid has extremely high-level movement techniques!" the black-clothed Spiritual Race Elder said in surprise.


    Although the Eye of Destruction was incredibly strong, Zhao Hui''s movement techniques were extremely high-level, allowing him to move with great speed and avoid all the attacks.


    "If you only know how to run, how can you defeat your opponent?" Jin Kun grunted.


    Although he didn''t like Zhao Hui, his assessment was accurate. The majority of doctors weren''t skilled in fighting and primarily cultivated escape abilities. This bout was decided through defeating one''s opponent, so how could Zhao Hui, who was not skilled in attacks, defeat True God Cloudbreaker?


    "Damn! This kid has very high-level movement techniques, but¡­ he really is a doctor." True God Cloudbreaker coldly snorted, and then he gave a wicked chuckle.


    He had no fear of people who only knew how to run. He just needed to constantly attack while seeking out any flaw in his foe that he could use to swiftly defeat him.


    "Destruction Flurry!" True God Cloudbreaker emitted thin hair-like rays of light that shuttled throughout the world.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Zhao Hui used Wind and Space Intent to bob and weave, barely dodging these golden rays time and time again.


    His movements and reaction speed left the Ancient Gods on both sides astonished. They had no idea that Zhao Feng was currently controlling Zhao Hui, having even sent over a portion of his mind.


    Zhao Feng and his clones shared the same soul. Zhao Feng was hiding in the Interspatial Dimension while very surreptitiously sending over a very small amount of energy, so not even the mighty Ancient Gods present could sense him. Zhao Hui''s perception had received a large boost, so it was only natural that he could easily avoid these attacks.


    "It''s my turn to attack!" Zhao Hui smiled.


    "You, attack?" True God Cloudbreaker couldn''t help but laugh. In his view, Zhao Hui was just a doctor specialized in escape techniques. Any combat abilities he had definitely weren''t that potent.


    "He''s about to counterattack?" The black-clothed Spiritual Race Elder was rather taken aback.


    He believed that Zhao Hui would keep running before his eventual concession so as to prevent the loss from being too embarrassing. He hadn''t expected for Zhao Hui to go on the offensive. He had no idea just how powerful Zhao Hui''s offensive abilities were.


    Bzzzz!


    At this moment, Zhao Hui''s right eye suddenly became extremely dim like a dark yellow underworld. Within it, a black circle was faintly revolving.


    "The Eye of Samsara!?" True God Cloudbreaker called out in surprise.


    He hadn''t expected for Zhao Hui to also be a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes. The Eye of Samsara in particular was known among other God Eye descendants as the Undying Eye, the most difficult of all to deal with.


    The members of both parties were also dumbfounded by this sight.


    "This child''s concealment methods are of such high level that not even I noticed!" The silver-haired old lady gave Zhao Hui a profound look.


    She was unaware that Zhao Feng had used the Eye-Sealing Art and Eye-Shrouding Art to conceal the Eye of Samsara. Unless the old lady was also a God Eye descendant, she would find it very hard to sense the Eye of Samsara.


    His clone actually has the Eye of Samsara!? Ancient God Floating Spirit was inwardly rather alarmed. It was no wonder that Zhao Feng kept such a weak clone around.


    "But it seems like there''s only one Eye of Samsara." After his initial shock, the demon-faced elder composed himself.


    "Only one Eye of Samsara?" Everyone else was left rather confused by this revelation.


    Everyone knew that the Eye of Samsara was divided into the Samsara of Life and the Samsara of Death. The Samsara of Death was what possessed the undying body, conferring its user the Samsara Immortal Body. The Samsara of Life was more unique; it could be called useless, but on certain occasions, it was extremely useful.


    It was clear that Zhao Hui''s eye was the Samsara of Life, and the Samsara of Life was useless on this battlefield!


    Everyone was rather speechless. They had just started rethinking the outcome of this battle, but it turned out that Zhao Hui had hoodwinked them. A single Eye of the Samsara of Life was useless.


    "Hah! You plan to use that eye to attack me?" True God Cloudbreaker breathed a sigh relief and wickedly laughed.


    "You''ve guessed correctly!" Zhao Hui''s right eye began to revolve, chaotic energy slowly condensing within it.


    The Eye of the Samsara of Life might not be of any use in battle, but it was still a unique eye-bloodline. Eye-bloodline techniques unleashed through it would be stronger than eye-bloodline techniques unleashed by ordinary eye-bloodlines.


    And at this moment, Zhao Feng was also secretly sending some of his energy over to make this eye-bloodline technique a little stronger.


    "Oh no!" True God Cloudbreaker sensed danger. He hadn''t expected a doctor to possess such a powerful eye-bloodline technique attack.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" Zhao Hui''s right eye suddenly unleashed his powerful attack.


    Zhao Hui himself had Wind, Water, Wood, and Space Intent, so the Earthshaking Nova he unleashed was quite powerful in its own right.


    The Earthshaking Nova attacked both the body and the soul, and the Earthshaking Nova had never been suited for defense. True God Cloudbreaker had nowhere to run, and he was struck by the chaotic mixture of Intent energies and defeated.


    "Earthshaking Nova!?" Young Master Hai, who was spectating this battle, was stunned.


    Although Zhao Hui had not used the original Earthshaking Nova, this was the supreme skill upon which Young Master Hai had made his name, so he was all too familiar with this technique.


    "Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng!" Young Master Hai''s face darkened.


    He had never been to the Spiritual Race, but at the God Eye Assembly, he wagered this secret eye-bloodline technique and lost it to Zhao Feng in their match.


    "He won?" All the members of the Spiritual Race didn''t dare believe their eyes.


    The situation had changed far too quickly. After revealing his Eye of the Samsara of Life, Zhao Hui used a single eye-bloodline technique to defeat True God Cloudbreaker.


    The Eye of the Samsara of Life could increase the power of an eye-bloodline technique greatly. The true decisive blow was the work of the profound eye-bloodline technique that Zhao Hui used.


    "The Spiritual Race is truly a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons!" Elder Tao of Black Devil Peak chuckled. He naturally hoped that the Spiritual Race could win a match so as to prevent a chilling of relations between the two factions.


    The demon-faced elder, on the other hand, had an extremely nasty grimace. He was staring at True God Cloudbreaker and Zhao Hui as if he wanted to eat them alive.


    At this moment, the demon-faced elder received a message in his mind; "Elder, the eye-bloodline technique Zhao Hui used just now is my Earthshaking Nova, but the only person in the Spiritual Race who possesses this eye-bloodline technique manual is Zhao Feng. Zhao Hui probably has a very close relationship with Zhao Feng!"


    The person sending the message was none other than Young Master Hai.


    "The Heavenly Demon Hall ¨C they''re currently looking for information on Zhao Feng! Inform them of this matter!" The demon-faced elder gloomily stared at Zhao Hui.

 1323 Zhao Hui Is Kidnapped

    Chapter 1323 - Zhao Hui Is Kidnapped


    The Ancient God upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race were full of praise for Zhao Hui''s performance. He was a doctor, had the Eye of the Samsara of Life, was skilled in escape techniques, and also had extremely high-level eye-bloodline techniques. If Ancient God Floating Spirit didn''t already have his eye on Zhao Hui, they might have tried to make him their own disciple.


    The other Spiritual Race disciples were rather envious. with Jin Kun in particular being rather depressed. Even though they were Ancient God disciples, they were currently inferior to one Rank Three True God. Zhao Hui truly had displayed formidable skills. In the future, he might be just as dazzling as Zhao Feng.


    "The talents of the Spiritual Race truly are strong. Let''s bring this exchange of pointers to an end," Elder Tao called out. He was truly worried that the demon-faced elder would stubbornly insist on continuing the matches.


    Afterward, Black Devil Peak arranged for the Spiritual Race group to reside in a place with abundant Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    The primary mission for the Spiritual Race this time was to trade with Black Devil Peak. This would need one or two months.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    ¡­


    On the edge of Black Devil Peak''s territory was a forbidden zone called the Arctic Abyss. This was a place ravaged by ice storms throughout the year and was occupied by powerful ice-type Yao Gods. If ordinary Rank Two or Three True Gods ventured into this place, they would all be killed.


    The Arctic Abyss was seemingly bottomless, and it became colder the deeper one went. Even Rank Four True Gods would not be able to endure the cold. But inside one of the walls of the Arctic Abyss was a heavenly abode.


    "Mm? Someone from Black Devil Peak?" A bulky figure with two black bull horns on his head took out a message token. "News on Zhao Feng?"


    After reading the message, the horned man used a secret method to communicate with someone else. A black figure quickly arrived.


    "Ancient God Bull Devil, what news is there?"


    The visitor was none other than Ancient God Profound Devil.


    "In the trading group the Spiritual Race sent to Black Devil Peak, there''s a Rank Three True God that is suspected of having a very close connection to Zhao Feng," Ancient God Bull Devil truthfully replied.


    Ancient God Profound Devil became pensive.


    With regards to the details of their last mission, particularly with regards to Zhao Feng, they had not truthfully reported the matter to their superiors. Instead, they were relying on their own authority to gather information on Zhao Feng. This was because they had some selfish motives. They hoped to obtain Zhao Feng''s treasures, such as the supreme-quality divine artifact that was the Spacetime Robe.


    "Have them send people to keep an eye on him. If there''s a chance, capture him!" Ancient God Profound Devil finally said after thinking it over.


    The Rank Three True God was traveling with the Ancient God upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race, so they could not move carelessly.


    "Ancient God Profound Devil, if the secrets on Zhao Feng can attract the attention of our superiors, then even with the protection of the Spiritual Race Ancient Gods, we can still kidnap a Rank Three True God." Ancient God Bull Devil gave Ancient God Profound Devil a profound stare.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group didn''t perform very well on the last mission, but they had been fortunate enough to capture a Heaven''s Legacy Cat, resulting in them being richly rewarded.


    But Ancient God Bull Devil discovered that the eye-bloodlines of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group had become extremely weak. They had spent many contribution points for materials they could use to rejuvenate their eye-bloodlines. And not long after they returned, they had the intelligence organization carefully investigate someone named Zhao Feng. Thus, Ancient God Bull Devil surmised that there was something else going on here.


    "Mm, I know," Ancient God Profound Devil responded and then left.


    If Zhao Hui could be captured, then his group would handle this matter themselves. If not, he would report the matter of Zhao Feng to his superiors.


    ¡­


    Back on Black Devil Peak, Zhao Feng and Zhao Hui were both cultivating in the Spacetime Robe.


    "Yearwheel Feng Wood." Zhao Feng took out a round piece of wood. He had obtained this from the Heaven''s Legacy Race ruins.


    Yearwheel Feng Wood was a cultivation material containing Time Intent, and it was also an excellent material for creating Spacetime Intent divine artifacts.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, ten days was equivalent to one day in the outside world. Zhao Feng quickly managed to use up all the energy in the Yearwheel Feng Wood.


    "My Time Intent has reached Level Four!" Zhao Feng was elated.


    Time Intent was the most difficult of the Intents Zhao Feng knew.


    "Once my Time Intent reaches Level Five, I might be able to adjust the Time energy of this dimension so that I can cultivate for longer!"


    At the moment, the ratio of time in the robe to time outside was ten to one. With adjustment, it could be made twenty to one, but this depended on Zhao Feng''s proficiency with Time Intent.


    However, Time Intent was simply too difficult to comprehend. Zhao Feng''s other Intents had all reached Level Six long ago. Even with the ideal cultivation materials, making any progress with Time Intent was exceedingly difficult.


    "It''s about time to go and gather information," Zhao Feng softly said.


    Zhao Hui left the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    Black Devil Peak''s exchange zone was an area meant for Black Devil Peak disciples to trade among each other. Information was a hot commodity.


    He barely entered when Zhao Feng sensed something strange.


    "Someone is following me!"


    Although Zhao Feng was hiding in his Interspatial Dimension, he could use Zhao Hui''s soul to sense what was going on around him.


    The moment he noticed someone following him, Zhao Feng began to focus his senses on them, grasping both their appearance and cultivation.


    "Why is Black Devil Peak sending people to watch Zhao Hui?" Zhao Feng was extremely confused.


    Was it because Zhao Hui had defeated True God Cloudbreaker during their bout? No matter how foolish Black Devil Peak was, it wouldn''t start watching Zhao Hui just because of that.


    Moreover, while Zhao Hui was in the territory of Black Devil Peak, they wouldn''t dare do anything to him. Otherwise, Black Devil Peak would have to take responsibility. But being watched by someone was still a rather uncomfortable feeling.


    For the next several days, not long after Zhao Hui left the main peak, two people would begin following him. This pair didn''t dare to do too much, only lingering around the main peak. After all, if the upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race noticed them, they would be finished.


    These two people are only targeting Zhao Hui. Let''s see what their goal is! Zhao Feng said to himself.


    From the clues he had gathered over the last few days, Zhao Feng realized that these people were only following Zhao Hui. The rest of the Spiritual Race members were completely safe and unbothered.


    He truly wanted to know why Zhao Hui was being followed. On this day, Zhao Hui left the territory of Black Devil Peak on his own and began to fly toward a sparsely inhabited area.


    He didn''t go very far before the two people following him began to rapidly close the distance.


    "Who is it!?" Zhao Hui suddenly turned his head and yelled.


    Two black figures exploded through the air at Zhao Hui. These two were both powerful Rank Four True Gods who had apparently been waiting for this moment the entire time.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Each of them threw out an array flag. They immediately sent out pitch-black flames that sealed the area for tens of thousands of li around.


    "Even if you''re skilled in escape, you won''t be able to run this time!" a tall and muscular man said.


    "Big Bro, let''s go! We don''t want any accidents!" his shorter companion yelled and immediately began to attack.


    They''re just trying to capture me? A hint of confusion emerged in Zhao Hui''s mind.


    If these two people were trying to kill him, Zhao Feng would appear and capture them to search their souls for information, but these two were actually just trying to capture Zhao Hui.


    "You two are quite bold! You actually dare to assault a Spiritual Race disciple?" Zhao Hui bellowed as he used his flying skill to dodge the shorter man''s attack.


    "I''m a disciple of Ancient God Floating Spirit! Once he learns of this, you''re dead!" Zhao Hui constantly provoked the pair, but they did not reply.


    "Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Hui used his Eye of Samsara to launch an eye-bloodline technique against the pair.


    But these two were prepared for this, taking out average-quality divine artifacts to block the eye-bloodline technique.


    Zhao Hui quickly began to show signs that his Divine Power was running out.


    "Destroying Devil Hand!" The tall man unleashed a pitch-black pillar of energy at Zhao Hui.


    Meanwhile, his companion rapidly approached Zhao Hui, taking out a golden thorny whip and using it bind Zhao Hui. The thorns on this whip had been dipped in poison that numbed Zhao Hui''s body while also draining away his Divine Power.


    Just like that, Zhao Hui was captured alive.


    "Let''s go!" After capturing Zhao Hui, the pair began to fly off in another direction rather than toward Black Devil Peak.


    "Hmph, take me to see the true architect of this plan." Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng chuckled to himself.


    Three days later, two people appeared before the pair. These two were both Ancient Gods, and one of them was Young Master Hai.


    "Young Master Hai, why did you want to capture me!?" Zhao Hui roared.


    "Hmph, you think too highly of yourself! Even if you defeated True God Cloudbreaker, you aren''t worth my attention!" Young Master Hai snorted. Taking Zhao Hui into his Interspatial Dimension, he left with the other Ancient God.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng began to think. Just a moment ago, he almost showed himself so that he could capture these two Ancient Gods, but Young Master Hai''s words made him pause. The person who wanted to capture Zhao Hui was seemingly someone else, and they were someone of unusual status if they could make Young Master Hai do errands for them.


    "Could it be¡­?" Zhao Feng seemed to think of something, a sharp light gleaming in his eyes.


    Swish!


    An ancient bronze coin appeared in his hand, glistening with starry light.


    "It''s in this direction!" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    At this moment, the direction Young Master Hai''s group was flying in was in complete agreement with the bronze coin.


    "My true identity definitely hasn''t been discovered." Zhao Feng''s mind was like a bright mirror.


    If his true identity had been exposed, Young Master Hai would have never said such words. This meant that the other side''s target really was Zhao Hui.


    But this was fine as well. Zhao Hui was just a Rank Three True God, so he wasn''t being regarded with much vigilance. This was perfect for allowing Zhao Feng to sneak in.


    "Although I haven''t gathered enough information, I can only go with the flow!"


    Zhao Feng parted his mind, having one part control Zhao Hui''s soul and observe the situation while the other part of his mind focused on cultivation, increasing his strength so that he could deal with the dangers he was about to face.


    Half a year passed within the Spacetime Robe. He had made further progress in the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, and his cultivation had advanced to the peak of Rank Seven. He was also proficient in the combat skills on the second level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique.


    In the outside world, Young Master Hai and the other Ancient God finally arrived in the vicinity of the Arctic Abyss. They entered a hidden area, and a concealment array in front of them suddenly withdrew, revealing a teleportation array. After activating the teleportation array and seeing Zhao Hui''s body vanish, Young Master Hai and the other Ancient God very cautiously took their leave.


    As for Zhao Hui, he appeared in a very gloomy space. There were several figures here, and one of them stepped forward to stand in front of Zhao Hui.


    "Ancient God Profound Devil!" Zhao Feng called out in alarm from within the Spacetime Robe.


    As for Zhao Hui, he appeared panicked and fearful, at a complete loss about what to do.

 1324 Subduing

    Chapter 1324 - Subduing


    "I had someone capture him for me," Ancient God Profound Devil announced, after which he grabbed Zhao Hui and left.


    After leaving that gloomy space, Ancient God Profound Devil appeared in a wide and round metal corridor. Corridors went off in all directions, and there were some that even required identity verification to enter.


    It didn''t take long before Ancient God Profound Devil entered a secret chamber and threw Zhao Hui to the ground.


    "Don''t tell me that you don''t know Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s eyes were tinged with rage as he began to exert his Ancient God pressure on Zhao Hui.


    Zhao Hui was just a Rank Three True God, and this immense power rendered him almost incapable of moving.


    "I¡­ know¡­ him!" Zhao Hui trembled as he spoke, his face stricken with terror.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s eyes flashed, a pleased look on his face.


    "Then obediently tell me everything!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s energy surged.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    A savage black demon head began to condense in his hand. This demon head had a life of its own; once it finished manifesting, it rushed at Zhao Hui''s head.


    This was a unique memory extraction technique. Once this demon head entered Zhao Hui''s body, it would devour his soul and obtain all he knew.


    Ancient God Profound Devil smiled as he stared at this low-level True God that he was free to do whatever he wanted with.


    "If you want someone to blame, blame Zhao Feng for knowing you." Ancient God Profound Devil coldly snorted. All he wanted right now was to capture Zhao Feng as soon as possible, take everything he owned, and then make his life a living hell.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The black and savage demon head was just about to enter Zhao Hui''s head.


    "You want to see me that badly?" At this moment, a third voice resounded through the room.


    This voice made Ancient God Profound Devil''s entire body tremble. Emotions of disgust and loathing immediately surged through his heart.


    "Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Profound Devil paled as he recognized the voice.


    He ardently wished to capture Zhao Feng, but he had never imagined that Zhao Feng would appear here right now.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng suddenly appeared next to Zhao Hui and lunged at Ancient God Profound Devil. As he passed the black demon head, he unleashed a massive wave of energy that pulverized it.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" With thunderous momentum, Zhao Feng circulated Chaos Origin Divine Power and used a combat skill of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique.


    Boom! Bang!


    A gloomy and chaotic light shot forward like a giant mountain.


    Ancient God Profound Devil was surprised and completely caught off guard, so he took the full brunt of the attack.


    Plush!


    He vomited blood as his body was sent flying backward by the gloomy mountain of light.


    Now that Zhao Feng had reached the second level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique and cultivated to the peak of Rank Seven, he was much stronger than he was in their last meeting.


    After being struck by this fist, Ancient God Profound Devil could do nothing except retreat.


    But before Ancient God Profound Devil could even hit the ground, Zhao Feng appeared at his side. With a wave of his silver robe, Ancient God Profound Devil and Zhao Feng vanished.


    In the Spacetime Robe''s dimension, Ancient God Profound Devil vomited several mouthfuls of blood before finally stabilizing himself.


    "Zhao Feng¡­ why did you come here? Your strength¡­" Ancient God Profound Devil was far too shocked, and he had far too much to say.


    He had never imagined that Zhao Feng would risk himself by infiltrating their faction. Although he determined that Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to leave this place alive, his foremost concern at this time was his own survival since Zhao Feng was even stronger than he was last time.


    "This place is the Spacetime Robe''s internal dimension. You can''t escape, so just submit to me." Zhao Feng indifferently stood before him.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Wang and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon rushed forward.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body seethed with black flames, and it fully unleashed the energy of its bloodline, exuding a Destructive energy that could destroy all. As for Zhao Wang, he was only a peak Rank Five, but he was an Eye of Death descendant.


    What drew Ancient God Profound Devil''s attention the most was the pitch-black claw-headed staff in Zhao Wang''s hands. The sinister and dreadful aura it exuded was even more dangerous than the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s energy.


    "Destruction Dragon Race¡­ supreme-quality divine artifact!" Ancient God Profound Devil was immediately filled with despair.


    Zhao Feng alone was very difficult for him to deal with, let alone an Ancient God of the Destruction Dragon Race and a wielder of a supreme-quality Death-type divine artifact. Moreover, Ancient God Profound Devil knew that Zhao Feng still had other trump cards.


    Ancient God Profound Devil had never imagined that he would die because he captured a Rank Three True God.


    "I may die, but I''ll take you with me!" In these dire circumstances, Ancient God Profound Devil actually broke into a wicked smile.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    A vast energy began to surge and gather in his body, instilling fear in all who sensed it.


    "You want to self-detonate?" Zhao Feng apparently expected this, and he appeared mostly unperturbed. He suddenly vanished, and when he next appeared, he was even closer to Ancient God Profound Devil.


    "You¡­ what are you up to?" Ancient God Profound Devil was taken aback.


    He truly was planning on self-detonating, but he knew that Zhao Feng was very fast and perfectly capable of getting out of range of the explosion. The true reason for his self-detonation was not to kill Zhao Feng, but to have the Heavenly Demon Hall notice his death. The Heavenly Demon Hall was certain to rigorously investigate the matter, making escape for Zhao Feng nigh impossible.


    But to his surprise, Zhao Feng didn''t flee from his self-detonation, but actually got even closer.


    "You want to stop my self-detonation? Ridiculous!" Ancient God Profound Devil scornfully laughed.


    Not even a Rank Eight Ancient God was capable of completely suppressing him, so it was simply impossible for Zhao Feng to stop his self-detonation. If Zhao Feng got too close, his self-detonation would instantly annihilate him. Thus, Ancient God Profound Devil was laughing at Zhao Feng''s stupidity.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng immediately appeared at Ancient God Profound Devil''s side, and his eye of dreamy silver focused on Ancient God Profound Devil and began to spin.


    "This is¡­?"


    A moment later, Ancient God Profound Devil sensed the spatial energy from a strange and ancient dimension, clearly intending to teleport him to another place.


    He was just preparing to resist when the Spacetime energy of this dimension suddenly restrained his body. At the same time, Zhao Feng''s left eye unleashed powerful Illusion energy to affect his state of mind.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s Soul Intent had always been inferior to Zhao Feng''s while his Eye of Myriad Forms could not compare to Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng pulled Ancient God Profound Devil into the Ancient Dream Realm.


    In the Ancient Dream Realm, in the core area of the Blood Flame Qilin Race, three Rank Eight Ancient Gods and the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch were seated in a circle, each one positioned in one of the four directions.


    Suddenly, Ancient God Profound Devil appeared in the middle of the four. A moment later, the four Ancient God experts immediately unleashed all their energy onto the center.


    Ancient God Profound Devil only just appeared, and before he had time to do anything, he was completely suppressed and controlled by this invincible energy. The explosive strength that had been gathering in his body ceased flowing and slowly began to disperse.


    "What¡­ place¡­ is this?" Ancient God Profound Devil barely managed to squeeze out these words.


    This was clearly a different dimension, and this dimension concealed several supreme experts.


    A moment later, Zhao Feng appeared.


    "Your Excellency!" the Blood Flame Qilins all softly called out.


    "Dark Heart Seal!"


    Without another word, Zhao Feng began to condense a seal of dreamy silver in his left eye, which he then sent into the depths of Ancient God Profound Devil''s soul. Suppressed by four Ancient God experts, Ancient God Profound Devil was in no state to resist, and his soul was easily branded. Only then did the Blood Flame Qilins let him go.


    Zhao Feng knew that he was heading into an extremely dangerous area, so he had begun making preparations long ago. The mysterious and secretive faction behind Ancient God Profound Devil was undoubtedly extremely cautious, so it probably had all its members being looked after by a Soul Jade.


    Soul Jades contained a sliver of their owner''s souls. When the owner died, the Soul Jade would shatter. Thus, while infiltrating this place, it was best if Zhao Feng didn''t kill anyone, as he would just be exposing himself by doing so.


    "Master, what are your orders?" The extremely weak Ancient God Profound Devil kneeled in front of Zhao Feng.


    "Tell me how the Heaven''s Legacy Cat is currently doing and everything you know about your faction!"


    Zhao Feng was a little excited. He had always been wondering about the faction Ancient God Profound Devil belonged to. These were God Eye descendants who were somehow able to operate the machinery left behind by the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    After infiltrating this place, Zhao Feng realized that the faction behind Ancient God Profound Devil was even more mysterious and powerful than he imagined, and it even controlled many technologies left behind by the Heaven''s Legacy Race. If not for the fact that it was mostly God Eye descendants here, Zhao Feng would have suspected this to be a faction of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "Master, your subordinate finds this very difficult!" Ancient God Profound Devil had a struggling look on his face.


    Zhao Feng was dumbfounded. With the Dark Heart Seal, even Ancient God Profound Devil''s thoughts and mind were under his control, and yet Ancient God Profound Devil was resisting his request?


    "Master, I signed a contract. Once I divulge any information on the Heavenly Demon Hall, my soul will immediately be destroyed," Ancient God Profound Devil truthfully replied.


    Zhao Feng instantly understood. Only death could make someone imprinted with the Dark Heart Seal resist his orders. Presumably, the moment Ancient God Profound Devil was about to reveal any information, he would immediately die and thus be of no use to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng once more realized just how cautious the Heavenly Demon Hall was. He had to be extremely cautious in his actions.


    After successfully imprinting the Dark Heart Seal, Zhao Hui returned to the outside world with Ancient God Profound Devil.


    Although Ancient God Profound Devil couldn''t reveal any information, he did know where the little thieving cat was and could lead Zhao Feng there. There were also many points on this route that required identity verification.


    But first, Ancient God Profound Devil had to recover his strength, or else the truth might come out. The two decided to remain in the secret chamber for the time being to cultivate.


    But Ancient God Profound Devil didn''t cultivate for long before he opened his eyes and took out a round metal token. The token was flashing with a faint red light.


    "What''s going on?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    "Someone has triggered the warning system. Right now, the entire region for one hundred thousand li around the Heavenly Demon Hall has been completely locked down," Ancient God Profound Devil truthfully replied.


    "I''ve been discovered?" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    "No, it should be someone else¡­." Ancient God Profound Devil''s expression dimmed.


    Zhao Feng was slightly relieved to hear Ancient God Profound Devil''s words. However, now that someone else had triggered the warning system, the security around this area would increase. This was bad news for Zhao Feng.


    But there was a positive aspect to this news; the Heavenly Demon Hall''s attention was probably focused on the person who had triggered the warning system, presenting an excellent opportunity for Zhao Feng.


    "We have to get moving soon!" Zhao Feng ordered, after which he began to personally assist with Ancient God Profound Devil''s recovery.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Suddenly, the secret chamber began to flash with weak light.


    "Someone is here!" Ancient God Profound Devil said.


    Zhao Feng used his left eye''s see-through ability to peer through the unique metal walls of the room. Outside a certain corridor, two figures were standing. They were currently interacting with the array around Ancient God Profound Devil''s residence.

 1325 Operation Rescue the Little Thieving Ca

    Chapter 1325 - Operation Rescue the Little Thieving Cat


    Zhao Feng used his left eye''s see-through ability to peer through the unique metal walls of the room. Outside a certain corridor, two figures were standing. They were currently interacting with the array around Ancient God Profound Devil''s residence.


    Zhao Feng recognized both of them; they were two of Ancient God Profound Devil''s comrades from the Heaven''s Legacy Race ruins. One of them was even the former leader of Zhao Feng''s team, Ancient God Black Extreme.


    "When I learned of the matter of Zhao Hui, I told them as well," Ancient God Profound Devil explained.


    It appeared that Ancient God Black Extreme and the other person had discovered that Ancient God Profound Devil successfully captured Zhao Hui. Worried that Ancient God Profound Devil would take everything for himself, they came to see how he was doing.


    "They can''t be allowed to notice anything strange." Zhao Feng began to think. Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes while a crafty smile appeared on his lips.


    ¡­


    "He''s still not coming out!" Ancient God Black Extreme had a dour expression on his face.


    "Maybe Ancient God Profound Devil wants to push us aside and work with someone else to deal with Zhao Feng and share the spoils!" his companion, the thin Eye of Spacetime descendant, softly whispered.


    After all, the secrets on Zhao Feng were nothing to laugh about. They were undoubtedly capable of attracting the notice of the upper echelon members. There was a high chance that Ancient God Profound Devil wanted to use this opportunity to become one of the supreme experts of the faction.


    At this moment, the array in front of the pair suddenly disappeared, and Ancient God Profound Devil slowly revealed himself.


    "Come in." After saying this, Ancient God Profound Devil turned around and went back inside.


    The two Ancient Gods immediately followed. The three quickly came to the hidden chamber. Inside the chamber was a scholarly youth, his body bound up by formidable Divine Power so that he couldn''t move.


    "This is the person who has a close relationship with Zhao Feng?" Ancient God Black Extreme''s cold and sinister eyes stared at Zhao Hui, his Eyes of Death exuding a sinister and terrifying aura.


    "You''ve already found some clues, right?" the other person impatiently asked.


    "It''s just a measly Rank Three True God. Do you really think that he could resist me?" Ancient God Profound Devil faintly smiled.


    "Just spit it out! What worthwhile information was there?" Ancient God Black Extreme excitedly asked.


    "See for yourselves," Ancient God Profound Devil flatly said, and then he waved his hand in the air.


    Soon after, a multicolored screen of light appeared in front of the pair. The two Ancient Gods knew that Ancient God Profound Devil was about to display the images in Zhao Hui''s memories for them to see.


    The scene was a crystal fairyland, the territory of the Spiritual Race. A figure soon emerged, his dreamy silver hair brashly dancing in the air.


    "Something''s wrong!" The thin man appeared taken aback. He had the Eye of Spacetime, and just a moment ago, he sensed a spatial ripple from the screen.


    "What''s wrong?" Ancient God Black Extreme was confused.


    The Zhao Feng in the screen suddenly turned toward the pair, his left eye exuding powerful Illusion energy. Gradually, the figure of Zhao Feng solidified while the screen entirely vanished.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World!" Zhao Feng''s illusion engulfed the pair.


    At this moment, these two God Eye descendants seemed to be in a dreamy world of mist.


    "Interconnected Myriad Forms Palm!" Ancient God Profound Devil, standing behind the pair, suddenly activated his Eye of Myriad Forms and unleashed two multicolored palms of light at them.


    Affected by Illusion energy, Ancient God Black Extreme and his companion couldn''t react in time.


    Boom! Bang!


    They were both blasted forward.


    Zhao Feng smiled as he saw the two flying toward, and with a wave of his Spacetime Robe, he put them away.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng and Ancient God Profound Devil also entered the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    "Gaze of the God Eye!" Within, Zhao Feng used his God''s Spiritual Eye on the thin man, using the Gaze of the God Eye to control his soul. After all, this person was an Eye of Spacetime descendant and so would be less affected by this dimension.


    "What''s going on¡­? My soul!" The thin man struggled, but he discovered that his soul was incapable of resisting Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Meanwhile, Ancient God Black Extreme was being held down by Ancient God Profound Devil, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and Zhao Wang. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s bloodline exerted formidable pressure while Zhao Wang''s Staff of Death Curse made Ancient God Black Extreme''s Eye of Death practically useless.


    "This is the Staff of Death Curse¡­! No wonder you were able to absorb so much Death Liquid!" Ancient God Black Extreme''s face was stricken with shock. He finally knew the answer to the question that had puzzled him all this time.


    The Staff of Death Curse was rumored to have been forged by a powerful Eye of Death descendant from a long-ago era. Moreover, this Eye of Death descendant had obtained a legacy from the race ranked 2nd on the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, the Ancient Shaman Race, and was able to use curses. It was for this reason that the Staff of Death Curse had an eye similar to the Eye of Death on it and also contained Curse energy.


    "Nooo¡­!" The thin man''s soul struggled for all it was worth, but in the end, his soul still flew into Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "Collect!" Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye succeeded in sucking the thin man''s soul into his God Eye Dimension.


    Ever since the God''s Spiritual Eye evolved, his left eye had gotten even stronger. Those with the same level of cultivation as him were essentially incapable of resisting the power of the Gaze of the God Eye.


    "It''s your turn!" Zhao Feng smiled as he walked toward Ancient God Black Extreme.


    Ancient God Black Extreme was barely able to put up a resistance before he was quickly sucked into the God Eye Dimension.


    After a period of torture, Zhao Feng succeeded in placing the Dark Heart Seal on their souls.


    "With some members on the inside, it will be even easier for me to infiltrate the Heavenly Demon Hall!" Zhao Feng rejoiced.


    He didn''t expect that, after enslaving Ancient God Profound Devil, two more people would deliver themselves to his doorstep.


    The three of them couldn''t tell Zhao Feng anything about the Heavenly Demon Hall, but Zhao Feng could see through their vision and gain a rough understanding of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    "Master, it will be very difficult for you to rescue the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" Ancient God Black Extreme was worried for Zhao Feng.


    "There is an expert guarding the Heaven''s Legacy Cat''s location." This was all the thin man could say.


    From what the pair said, Zhao Feng could guess that the area where the little thieving cat was being kept was heavily guarded and supervised by some supreme expert. Someone of Zhao Feng''s strength trying to save the little thieving cat would be like using an egg to strike a stone.


    "Nothing in this world is absolute, and there is no wall in the world that is impermeable to wind. Even the most heavily guarded place has a weakness that can be exploited," Zhao Feng calmly said.


    And besides, there was apparently someone else making trouble in this place as well.


    But now was not the time to save the little thieving cat. He still needed to make some preparations.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng called out, and then he used Space Intent to hide in Ancient God Profound Devil''s body.


    "Master, what should we do?" Ancient God Profound Devil whispered.


    Even though he had experienced a few of Zhao Feng''s trump cards for himself, he still didn''t think that Zhao Feng had the ability to save the little thieving cat.


    "Let''s find your three other companions first!" Zhao Feng''s slightly gleeful voice said.


    "Yes." Although they didn''t know what their master intended, the three of them didn''t dare to disobey.


    After leaving the residence, the group saw several figures rapidly flying through a distant corridor.


    It seems like the other invader is extremely powerful. Zhao Feng could see everything that was going on through the eyes of his slaves.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of three flew through this uniquely constructed base, which seemed very much like a maze.


    It didn''t take long before Ancient God Profound Devil came to a solitary room.


    "It''s me, Ancient God Profound Devil."


    The array on the room was withdrawn, and a muscular man walked out. "What''s wrong?"


    "All three of us came. We naturally came to find you because we have a matter to discuss."


    Ancient God Profound Devil acted like he was ready to divulge some major secret.


    The muscular man didn''t think too much before allowing the three of them inside.


    Suddenly, his three companions ambushed him. At the same time, Zhao Feng emerged from his hiding place on Ancient God Profound Devil''s body. The four of them working together rendered this Rank Seven Ancient God completely powerless.


    After a few moments, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of three emerged from the room and set off for their next destination.


    ¡­


    "It''s me, Ancient God Profound Devil."


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group came to the slim woman''s residence, but even after waiting for some time, they received no response.


    It seems like the Eye of Destiny sensed something and caused her to escape.


    Zhao Feng really didn''t care though. As of this moment, he had five of the original six-member party from the Heaven''s Legacy Race ruins as his servants.


    I now have another trump card! The hidden Zhao Feng was quietly elated.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t obtain the God Eye Fusion Art from them, but he could just have them use the God Eye Fusion Art.


    Zhao Feng was well aware of this technique''s power. If all of its might was unleashed at once, even a Rank Nine Ancient God would suffer disaster if they weren''t cautious. And if it was used over an extended period of time, it could contend against several Rank Eight Ancient Gods.


    "Now, to where the little thieving cat is being held!" Zhao Feng ordered.


    ¡­


    In the deepest parts of the Heavenly Demon Hall was a massive and concealed hall. This place was the forbidden ground of the Heavenly Demon Hall. Ancient God Profound Devil and his group weren''t allowed to even get close to this place unless they had some special reason.


    Inside this hidden hall were countless boundary domes of various sizes. Unique machines, research results, and experiments were stored under these domes of light.


    At the very back of this hall was a crystal box in which golden and silver liquid flowed. A silver-gray cat floated in this liquid.


    At this moment, the silver runes and characters on the little thieving cat''s body seemed to have a life of their own, constantly writhing and extending.


    In front of the little thieving cat was an operator who was controlling the massive instrument connected to the little thieving cat. Behind this operator stood an old man with a venomous face, his entire body covered in gray scales.


    "If this Heaven''s Legacy Cat can just complete its transformation¡­" The gray-scaled elder stared at the little thieving cat, his eyes shining with excitement.


    Whoosh!


    At this moment, a black figure emerged.


    "Your Excellency, the expert from the Spacetime Sacred Land is currently approaching the Heavenly Demon Hall''s base!" the black figure reported.


    "It seems like the people we sent on a mission there last time left behind some clues!" The gray-scaled elder sighed, a cold and harsh light flitting through his eyes.


    "Hmph! Who is our visitor?" the gray-scaled elder asked.


    "The Spacetime God''s disciple, Ancient God Scarlet Firmament!"


    "It''s Scarlet Firmament? I hear that he''s already a half-step God Lord. Let me deal with him!" The gray-scaled elder had a calm and leisurely expression.

 1326 Fighting a Rank Eigh

    Chapter 1326 - Fighting a Rank Eight


    "It''s Scarlet Firmament? I hear that he''s already a half-step God Lord. Let me deal with him!" The gray-scaled elder had a calm and leisurely expression.


    He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly vanished.


    "His Excellency has left, but this place should probably be fine." An elder of the Heavenly Demon Hall with dark blue hair who was responsible for monitoring this area appeared slightly concerned.


    The other operators in this concealed hall were also rather worried. They weren''t very strong at fighting and didn''t have the ability to protect themselves.


    Moreover, their visitor this time was someone from the Spacetime Sacred Land. In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Sacred Lands were the vast and mighty overlord factions!


    "Hmph! With me here, what do you have to be afraid of?" At this moment, a cold and sinister voice issued out from the shadows.


    A man with a straight back and the dark and turbid eyes of a ghost floated out.


    "Ancient God Nether Spring!"


    All of them couldn''t help but shiver.


    "With Ancient God Nether Spring here, there will naturally be no problem!" The elder with dark blue hair faintly smiled.


    At this moment, a red dot flashed on the massive screen in front of him.


    "There''s an intruder!" the elder immediately called out.


    "Their target is our location!" the people next to him looked over and noted.


    "Just sending themselves to their deaths." Ancient God Nether Spring coldly sneered, his eyes beginning to spin.


    The gloomy mist of a spring gushed out from his eyes. If a normal person saw this, they would feel as if they had walked into the Yellow Springs of the underworld.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A man and a woman suddenly charged out of the mist. One was a dark black man exuding the sinister aura of the Ghost Dao. The woman, on the other hand, was sacred and upright, a pure fairy.


    The moment the two emerged, they shot off into the air.


    "Wasn''t that the Devil Saint God Duo renowned throughout the Antian Zone? It was rumored that they were both at the peak of Rank Eight. I didn''t think that Lord Nether Spring had already made them into Samsara Immortal Bodies!"


    ¡­


    The corridors through the Heavenly Demon Hall were complex and intertwining. If Zhao Feng didn''t have the guidance of Ancient God Profound Devil and the others, he would have needed a great deal of time to find out where the little thieving cat was being kept.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    One or two figures would occasionally rush out from a nearby corridor, but as they progressed farther, they ran into fewer and fewer people.


    At this moment, a short-haired middle-aged man flew over. He had the cultivation of a Rank Seven Ancient God.


    "Ancient God Profound Devil, where are you going?" The middle-aged man was on friendly terms with Ancient God Profound Devil.


    "Capture him!" Zhao Feng ordered.


    He needed to search this person''s soul to understand the current situation. If all of them attacked together, they could definitely subdue this person in an instant.


    Ancient God Profound Devil didn''t reply to the middle-aged man and instead immediately attacked. The other four God Eye descendants struck as well, all of them activating their eye-bloodlines.


    "What are you doing!?" The middle-aged man was terrified.


    At this moment, nearby:


    Swish!


    A dreamy silver eye about the size of a head suddenly appeared.


    "Soul Prison!" The silver eye embedded in the air instantly unleashed an eye-bloodline technique.


    A moment later, the middle-aged man''s soul was bound by countless soul chains. At the same time, black metal thorns stabbed into his soul.


    The Soul Prison plunged the man''s soul into illusory torture. A second on the outside world was several months within the illusion.


    At this moment, the attacks of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group landed.


    Thump!


    The middle-aged was instantly seriously wounded and dropped to the floor.


    Swish!


    A vortex of Eye Intent engulfed the man. A moment later, he was sucked into Zhao Feng''s God Eye Dimension.


    This capture operation only lasted a few seconds, but right at this moment:


    Whoosh!


    A spatial ripple appeared, and a black figure arrived at this place.


    "What are you doing!?" This figure was short, thin, and pitch-black, practically fused with his black robe. He stared at Ancient God Profound Devil''s group as he bellowed.


    Although he didn''t see what happened, he sensed the ripples of various Eye Intents. There was clearly some sort of battle here, but by the time he arrived, one of the auras had vanished.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng was slightly taken aback.


    One of the effects of being in the Spacetime Robe was that the abilities of Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye were greatly limited. Moreover, these buildings were made of some unique material that restricted Zhao Feng''s perception, so much so that he had not noticed this high-level Eye of Spacetime descendant.


    "Ancient God Asura Gate, a member was trying to steal the Heavenly Demon Hall''s research. We discovered it and acted together just now to eliminate him," Ancient God Profound Devil offered an explanation.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng could sense through the Dark Heart Seal''s connection that Ancient God Asura Gate was a Rank Eight Ancient God, and he was one of those Rank Eight Ancient Gods with extremely stable foundations.


    "Let him out! I will see what the truth is!" Ancient God Asura Gate''s expression was stern and harsh.


    These words immediately caused Ancient God Profound Devil''s group to appear hesitant and hard-pressed.


    "Ancient God Asura Gate, in truth, we had a private grudge against that member. We couldn''t hold back just now, so¡­!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s expression suddenly changed.


    "Ancient God Asura Gate, if you trouble yourself to keep this matter a secret, the five of us are willing to offer you many contribution points!" Ancient God Black Extreme pleaded.


    "Okay." Ancient God Asura Gate coldly snorted.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s team of six had captured a Heaven''s Legacy Cat on their last mission and obtained an incredible sum of contribution points. Even Ancient God Asura Gate found himself incredibly tempted by such a sum.


    In the Heavenly Demon Hall, contribution points could be exchanged for all sorts of divine artifacts or items. These included powerful automatons, unique tools, and even medicines to improve one''s eye-bloodline.


    "Ancient God Asura Gate, let''s discuss this elsewhere," Ancient God Profound Devil messaged.


    At this moment, a figure passed through an extremely far away corridor.


    "Mm. This place truly isn''t a good place to talk." Ancient God Asura Gate nodded.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng was rather taken aback.


    "This person trusts you so much! Isn''t he afraid that you''re trying to trick him?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    It had to be said that Ancient God Profound Devil was a peak Rank Seven, and with the help of the other four, he could heavily injure and even kill a Rank Eight Ancient God without a problem.


    "Master, you are too greatly underestimating the high-level fighting powers of the Heavenly Demon Hall." Ancient God Profound Devil couldn''t reveal any secrets, so this was all he could say.


    But Zhao Feng didn''t find it hard to conjecture. Although the Heavenly Demon Hall wasn''t very large, it could control the technology left behind by the Heaven''s Legacy Race and possessed many powerful mechanical tools, automatons, as well as incredibly rare secret arts and cultivation methods.


    These things could probably all be obtained by using contribution points, and Ancient God Asura Gate was almost certainly an Ancient God with rather high seniority. Thus, he would be incredibly formidable in various aspects.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group could use the God Eye Fusion Art, but this secret art required time to activate. In addition, Ancient God Asura Gate probably understood the art as well and would not give Ancient God Profound Devil the time to use it.


    For this reason, even though there were five people in Ancient God Profound Devil''s group, Ancient God Asura Gate wasn''t worried that they might be up to something.


    But Ancient God Asura Gate had not taken into account the factor of Zhao Feng.


    The group quickly entered a room. The moment they entered, everyone felt a powerful weight on their bodies. This was clearly a special training room; the gravity of this room was probably adjustable.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Killing a member of the Heavenly Demon Hall is a grave crime." Ancient God Asura Gate casually strolled into the room and then gave a wicked smile.


    The five people in front of him all had many contribution points, so he naturally hoped to squeeze as much out of them as possible.


    "I have an item here that Ancient God Asura Gate might be interested in!" Ancient God Profound Devil squinted his eyes and smiled.


    "Let me see." Ancient God Asura Gate was surprised.


    In truth, he was more interested in contribution points. In the Heavenly Demon Hall, with contribution points, one could get their hands on anything. But Ancient God Profound Devil also knew this, so he definitely wouldn''t offer any ordinary item.


    Ancient God Profound Devil faintly smiled, and with a wave of his hand, he activated his interspatial dimension.


    Swish!


    A silver robe emerged, glistening with runes and characters. It appeared to be suffused with the principles of the world, and just a glance would bring enlightenment.


    "The Spacetime Robe!" Ancient God Asura Gate''s eyes went round, and his body shivered.


    It was actually the supreme-quality spacetime divine artifact endowed with support, defense, and escape abilities, the Spacetime Robe!


    But the Spacetime Robe was far too precious for Ancient God Profound Devil''s group to just hand it to him, and he was also incapable of instantly annihilating the five people before him.


    "What is it that you want?" Ancient God Asura Gate asked. If he could get the Spacetime Robe, he was willing to offer anything.


    "Your life!" At this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the Spacetime Robe.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng had already gathered a great quantity of Tribulation Lightning within the Spacetime Robe, and the moment he appeared, he unleashed it all.


    "You¡­!" Ancient God Asura Gate''s face twisted in alarm. He didn''t know what was going on, but the danger he felt made him immediately react.


    Thwish!


    Ancient God Asura Gate shot to the side in a streak of dark light. But before he could get very far, he was forced to reappear, howling in pain.


    Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique was unleashed almost instantly, and it was very accurate. Despite Ancient God Asura Gate''s extremely quick reaction, his soul was still struck by eighty percent of the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame''s power.


    At this moment, Ancient God Profound Devil and the other four used their own eye-bloodline techniques while summoning their automatons to fiercely attack Ancient God Asura Gate.


    Zhao Feng had numbers on his side, and he wouldn''t give Ancient God Asura Gate any time to catch his breath. The moment Ancient God Asura Gate chose to send a message, he would be immediately struck by the powerful eye-bloodline techniques of all five and was highly likely to die on the spot.


    "Space Origin Divine Shield!" Ancient God Asura Gate forcefully stabilized the injuries to his soul and used his Eyes of Spacetime to unleash a shroud of white light.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    All the eye-bloodline techniques were weakened as they struck this barrier. However, because Ancient God Profound Devil''s group outnumbered him, Ancient God Asura Gate was the first to break and began using defensive skills. But Ancient God Asura Gate didn''t have time for this, as five automatons were already attacking him.


    "Come out!" Ancient God Asura Gate summoned his own automaton, also at peak Rank Eight. After doing this, Ancient God Asura Gate sent his mind into his interspatial dimension and prepared to send a message.


    But at this moment, he sensed a dreadful pulse of energy.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" Zhao Feng unleashed yet another eye-bloodline technique.


    Earthshaking Nova derived its power from colliding different kinds of energy against each other. In order to reach the second level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, Zhao Feng had raised almost all his Intents by one level, and this also increased the power of his eye-bloodline technique.


    Boom! Bang!


    In a flash, a chaotic burst of energy exploded inside Ancient God Asura Gate''s body.


    The Earthshaking Nova attacked both the body and soul, temporarily preventing Ancient God Asura Gate from sending a message.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng blinked forward and appeared at Ancient God Asura Gate''s side.


    Swish!


    With a wave of his robe, Zhao Feng took Ancient God Asura Gate into the robe''s internal dimension.


    "Damn!" When Ancient God Asura Gate recovered, he immediately knew what had happened.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng and Ancient God Profound Devil''s group also appeared.


    Zhao Feng was no longer worried that Ancient God Asura Gate would send a message. The Spacetime Robe was a supreme-quality divine artifact, and with Zhao Feng''s assistance, it could completely cut off any connection to the outside world. Unless he had Zhao Feng''s permission, Ancient God Asura Gate would not be able to send a single bit of information out of this dimension.

 1327 Infiltrator

    Chapter 1327 - Infiltrator


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" Zhao Feng circulated Chaos Origin Divine Power and punched several times with both hands.


    Several fists made of gloomy light, suffused with the power of Space Intent, pierced through the void to explode against Ancient God Asura Gate''s body.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Ancient God Asura Gate immediately began to dodge. He was an Eye of Spacetime descendant, so he understood how to use Space Intent much better than Zhao Feng did.


    But one of these many energy fists still managed to hit him.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Asura Gate''s body was immediately sent flying.


    "What a powerful attack!" Ancient God Asura Gate spat out several mouthfuls of blood, and his face seemed slightly pale.


    He had already used spatial energy to reduce the impact of the fist attack, but it still inflicted significant injury to him.


    "Damn! This kid is the owner of the Spacetime Robe. My Spacetime abilities are being restricted here!" Ancient God Asura Gate softly cursed.


    If not for the Spacetime Robe''s effects, Zhao Feng''s energy fists, even if they were infused with Space Intent, would have never been able to hit him.


    But in truth, Ancient God Asura Gate was shocked at how powerful Zhao Feng''s Space Intent was. He had the Eye of Spacetime and was a Rank Eight Ancient God. His Space Intent was at the peak of Level Six. However, Zhao Feng was not an Eye of Spacetime descendant and only a Rank Seven Ancient God, but his Space Intent was also at Level Six. If not for this, Ancient God Asura Gate might have even been able to escape the bindings of the Spacetime Robe.


    "Death Ray!"


    "Destruction Flash!"


    ¡­


    At this moment, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five began to use powerful eye-bloodline techniques.


    "You''re actually colluding with an outsider!?" Ancient God Asura Gate loudly cursed as he fled.


    Ancient God Asura Gate finally understood why Ancient God Profound Devil''s group had killed a member of their faction. It wasn''t out of a private grudge, but because Zhao Feng had commanded them to do so. And it was precisely because Ancient God Asura Gate had failed to notice the factor of Zhao Feng that he was in his current predicament.


    "Anyone who stops Master must die!" Ancient God Profound Devil barked.


    The five automatons of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group also began to pursue Ancient God Asura Gate.


    Even though Ancient God Asura Gate''s Spacetime Intent was being restricted, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five and their automatons still found it difficult to catch him. However, Zhao Feng was like a fish in water in this place; his speed was not one bit inferior to Ancient God Asura Gate''s.


    "Chaos Origin God Suppressing Seal!" Zhao Feng condensed his Chaos Origin Divine Power into a massive seal that slammed down at Ancient God Asura Gate.


    This move had an extremely large range, and Ancient God Asura Gate had to push his speed to the absolute limit to barely escape.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    The moment Ancient God Asura Gate appeared again, Zhao Feng unleashed his Tribulation Lightning eye-bloodline technique. At the same time, his Chaos Origin God Suppressing Seal slammed down again.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group along with their automatons immediately surrounded Ancient God Asura Gate.


    "Space Origin Divine Shield!" Ancient God Asura Gate continued to struggle, using his spatial defense art to block Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin God Suppressing Seal.


    But Ancient God Profound Devil''s attacks were coming one after the other.


    "Damn! I can''t survive!" Ancient God Asura Gate''s face hardened in resolve.


    If he still had his own automaton, he would have still had the strength to keep fighting. Alas¡­


    "All or nothing!" Ancient God Asura Gate stared hard at Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    He suddenly charged at Zhao Feng.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    He was deluged by attacks as he charged, and while he managed to avoid the majority, some of them still managed to strike him. But he continued to charge at Zhao Feng, heedless of his injuries. Meanwhile, his body slowly began to exude a terrifying energy that made Zhao Feng''s heart quake.


    "Self-detonation!" Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye could see through all and immediately detected the situation in Ancient God Asura Gate''s body.


    But he could not let Ancient God Asura Gate out just because he was going to self-detonate. Ancient God Asura Gate could put a stop to this self-detonation whenever he wanted. Once Zhao Feng let him out, Ancient God Asura Gate would probably use a secret art to flee immediately and spread around the secret of Zhao Feng''s group.


    "Spacetime Shackle!" Ancient God Asura Gate focused his eyes on Zhao Feng.


    Transparent Spacetime energy immediately formed a cube around Zhao Feng that imprisoned him within.


    This Spacetime Shackle was rather similar to Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Seal, but Spacetime Shackle was focused on creating a prison while Spacetime Seal affected the opponent''s body itself.


    "Die!" Ancient God Asura Gate grimly smiled.


    At this distance, Zhao Feng had a more than fifty percent chance of dying to the self-detonation. And since he was detonating within the Spacetime Robe, his Rank Eight Ancient God energy would probably deal immense damage to the Spacetime Robe. Moreover, as long as the Heavenly Demon Hall noticed his death, it could use a powerful Eye of Samsara to revive him.


    Just when Ancient God Asura Gate was gathering up all his energy in his Eyes of Spacetime in preparation for self-detonation:


    "Spacetime Seal!" Zhao Feng suddenly unleashed his own Spacetime eye-bloodline technique.


    A moment later, a formidable energy that seemed both real and fake descended on Ancient God Asura Gate''s body, causing his movements and thoughts to become extremely slow. The power of the Spacetime Robe made the Spacetime Seal even more powerful.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng ejected Ancient God Asura Gate from the dimension. Pulling someone in required the other party''s agreement or lack of resistance, but kicking them out was exceedingly simple.


    "No¡­!" In the outside world, Ancient God Asura Gate gave a plaintive shriek.


    He was in the final stage of self-detonation, and his thoughts were now moving far too slowly to stop it.


    Brrrooom!


    A destructive storm of energy erupted within the gravity training room.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng and Ancient God Profound Devil''s group felt the entire world quake. Three seconds later, the situation began to stabilize.


    "It truly is a supreme-quality divine artifact!" Ancient God Profound Devil said in agitation.


    Only a supreme-quality defensive divine artifact would be able to resist the self-detonation of a Rank Eight Ancient God.


    But Zhao Feng, as the Spacetime Robe''s master, could sense that the Spacetime Robe had been damaged once again.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng and Ancient God Profound Devil''s group moved out of the dimension and began to act like they were the first to discover this explosion.


    "What''s going on?"


    "How could such a large explosion take place in the gravity training room!?"


    In the end, everyone could only sense the aura of a fallen soul in this place and nothing more.


    "Have an Eye of Samsara descendant prepare to revive the person that died here!" The members of the Heavenly Demon Hall decided. In addition, they reported the matter to their superiors. No matter who died, they could simply revive them and learn everything that happened.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group continued on their way.


    "They don''t know the cultivation of the person that died, so if they just randomly send an Eye of Samsara to revive them, they might not only fail, but also suffer severe injuries. Even if it''s an Eye of Samsara descendant capable of reviving Ancient God Asura Gate, they will need a very long time." Ancient God Profound Devil was very familiar with the abilities of the Eye of Samsara.


    "We have to save the little thieving cat before Ancient God Asura Gate is revived!" Zhao Feng''s eyes were firm as he sent his mind into his God Eye dimension.


    Within the God Eye dimension was a short-haired middle-aged man who had been completely suppressed. It was precisely because Zhao Feng wanted to capture this person that Ancient God Asura Gate almost found out what was going on.


    "Soul Search!"


    A powerful Soul Intent rushed into the middle-aged man''s soul. Zhao Feng quickly began to interact with the memories of the middle-aged man.


    He was able to easily obtain information that had nothing to do with the Heavenly Demon Hall, but the moment he began to interact with memories involving the Heavenly Demon Hall¡­


    "Ah¡­!" The middle-aged man''s soul instantly began to writhe and tremble.


    Boom!


    Before Zhao Feng had any time to extract any more information, the man''s soul was destroyed by a worldly energy that could not be stopped.


    "Right before any information is about to be revealed, they''re immediately killed¡­." Zhao Feng found this to be very problematic.


    But this was precisely why the Heavenly Demon Hall''s activities remained so unknown. Even many factions of the Antian Zone didn''t know of this faction hidden in their midst.


    However, Zhao Feng did manage to find out the cause of the disturbance. After all, it was not considered a secret of the Heavenly Demon Hall. It seemed that, when the Heavenly Demon Hall captured two God Eye descendants of the Spacetime Sacred Land on their last mission, they had left behind some clues, which a major power of the Spacetime Sacred Land used to track down this place.


    Now, the Spacetime God''s disciple, Ancient God Scarlet Firmament, had personally come to deal with the problem. In response, the strongest expert guarding the secret hall had apparently already left.


    "Let''s get to the place where the Heaven''s Legacy Cat is being held!" Zhao Feng immediately ordered Ancient God Profound Devil through the Dark Heart Seal.


    The Heavenly Demon Hall was currently dealing with an external enemy, meaning that the guard around the little thieving cat was at its weakest.


    "Yes!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s group immediately assented.


    Although they were still worried, they could not defy Zhao Feng''s will.


    After a long while, they began to run into fewer and fewer people. When they arrived at a massive gate made of violet crystal, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five stopped.


    "Master, ahead of us is the Heavenly Demon Hall''s core area. Normally, it is heavily guarded and unable to be approached," Ancient God Profound Devil solemnly said. "Even at a time like this, there should be guards inside."


    Within the Spacetime Robe, the ancient bronze coin in Zhao Feng''s hand sparkled with starry light. This indicated that the little thieving cat wasn''t far.


    "Enter! If you encounter any guards, work together to subdue them!" Zhao Feng ordered.


    The group of five displayed their identities and passed through the gate.


    In front of them was a circular reception hall. Stone sculptures of various kinds were displayed in the reception hall while bizarre murals had been drawn out on the walls.


    "Eh? No one''s here!" Ancient God Profound Devil said in confusion.


    Even if outsiders were attacking, it was impossible for there to be no one patrolling the Heavenly Demon Hall''s forbidden zone. Perhaps this was a trap.


    "Advance!" Zhao Feng ordered.


    Although he was in the Spacetime Robe and unable to exert the full power of the God''s Spiritual Eye, he couldn''t sense anything strange.


    Swoosh swoosh¡­


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group continued forward, but they traveled at a slightly slower speed.


    "Mm?" Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng suddenly sensed something.


    "Get back!" Zhao Feng immediately barked.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group immediately stopped and began to retreat.


    "Die!" At this moment, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared out of the void behind them.


    This woman had exquisite features tinged with a faint chill. Her closely-fitted silver clothes perfectly supported her slim and supple body.


    "What''s going on? Why is there someone in the Heavenly Demon Hall trying to kill you?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    "This person doesn''t belong to the Heavenly Demon Hall!" Ancient God Profound Devil firmly said.


    Whoosh!


    The silver-clothed woman moved with speed far greater than Ancient God Asura Gate''s as she pursued Ancient God Profound Devil''s group. Her silver eyes thrummed with powerful Spacetime Intent that made the hearts of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group tremble.


    "Die!" The silver-clothed woman''s icy face was suffused with killing intent, and the Spacetime Intent in her eyes was causing the air around her to distort.


    "This woman is very strong!" Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng was rather alarmed.


    They had succeeded in killing Ancient God Asura Gate previously because they caught him off guard and were able to restrain him within the Spacetime Robe. However, this woman was definitely stronger than Ancient God Asura Gate. It would be impossible to deal with her unless he used some of his strongest trump cards.


    "Hold on! We''re also infiltrators! We''re on the same side!" At this moment, Ancient God Profound Devil called out according to Zhao Feng''s orders.

 1328 Devil Saint God Duo

    Chapter 1328 - Devil Saint God Duo


    "Hold on! We''re also infiltrators! We''re on the same side!" At this moment, Ancient God Profound Devil called out according to Zhao Feng''s orders.


    The silver-clothed woman had attacked Ancient God Profound Devil''s group the moment she spotted them, and Ancient God Profound Devil''s group confirmed that she did not belong to the Heavenly Demon Hall. Thus, this person was obviously an infiltrator.


    The Spacetime Sacred Land had dispatched someone on the outside to hold down the majority of the Heavenly Demon Hall''s forces while they sent this silver-clothed woman to sneak in. This forbidden zone was obviously bereft of guards because she had killed them all.


    "Infiltrators? On the same side?" The ripples of Eye Intent in the woman''s eyes began to slacken.


    She had infiltrated this place and killed many members of the Heavenly Demon Hall, but this was the first time she had heard such things from someone she was trying to kill. Moreover, the other party had noticed her ahead of time, or else they wouldn''t have even had a chance to chat.


    "What proof do you have?" The woman''s killing intent did not decrease, and the energy of her eye-bloodline technique remained in her eyes. If Ancient God Profound Devil''s group tried anything, she would immediately kill them.


    Swish!


    At this moment, an eye of dreamy silver appeared over Ancient God Profound Devil''s head, exuding a suffocating pressure. The sight of this dreamy silver caused even the woman''s Eyes of Spacetime to inexplicably pulse.


    At the same time, the Dark Heart Seals on Ancient God Profound Devil''s group revealed the energy of Zhao Feng''s soul.


    "This should be enough," Zhao Feng''s voice resounded in the air.


    "We were once members of this place, but we now serve Master!" Ancient God Profound Devil said.


    The silver-clothed woman became pensive. She soon guessed at what was going on, and the killing intent in her eyes began to fade, though not completely.


    "So you were an Ancient God skilled with the soul," the silver-clothed woman indifferently said.


    From what she saw just now, the person hidden in the shadows had an eye-bloodline and was skilled in soul techniques. These members of the Heavenly Demon Hall were currently under the control of this hidden person.


    "What is your objective?" the woman directly asked.


    Anyone who could sneak into this place was no normal person, so she did not underestimate this person in the shadows. In addition, anyone who infiltrated such a dangerous place could not have any ordinary goal.


    "And what is your objective?" Zhao Feng asked in return.


    The woman''s slender brows rose, and then she fearlessly replied, "To save someone! My younger brother was captured and brought to this place!"


    After saying this, the silver-clothed woman swept her chilling eyes over Ancient God Profound Devil''s group, causing all of them to shiver.


    "I''ve said my piece. What''s your objective?" the woman coldly asked.


    "To save a cat. My pet was captured by them!" Zhao Feng didn''t hide his goal.


    The woman''s expression grew even colder. It appeared that she did not entirely believe this reason. Just who would do something as absurd as sneaking into the Heavenly Demon Hall to rescue a pet?


    "The secret hall of the Heavenly Demon Hall is undoubtedly guarded by experts. Only by working together can we get in," Zhao Feng said, not caring if the woman believed his reason or not.


    The silver-clothed woman also did not continue to press Zhao Feng on his goal. After all, it had little to do with her.


    "Let''s move out!" The silver-clothed woman was clearly rather anxious.


    Her body vanished into the void and began to slowly advance. Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five followed behind, even giving out many directions.


    Although the woman was a Spacetime God Eye descendant with high-level movement techniques, she would inevitably run into some kind of trap or mechanism.


    "What a high-level spatial concealment technique!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but observe the silver-clothed woman''s spatial concealment technique.


    Anyone skilled in Space Intent could conceal their body in the void, but they could only hide. If they made any large movements, they would create disturbances that would cause them to be easily discovered.


    However, this woman could not only conceal herself in the void, but also move at high speeds while making her ripples of energy nigh undetectable.


    "I should be able to do it as well." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but activate his left eye.


    The primary Intent of his Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique was Space Intent. If he could increase his proficiency in Space Intent, he would definitely strengthen the power of his Chaos Origin Divine Power as well.


    Zhao Feng also had the assistance of the Spacetime Robe, so it most likely wasn''t that difficult to accomplish this feat.


    Bzzzz!


    An eye of dreamy silver slowly emerged in the outside world, moving together with the party. The eye locked onto the silver-clothed woman and began to exude a dreamy luster.


    "Mm?" The silver-clothed woman raised her brow, a wary look appearing on her face. She suddenly felt like she had been stripped naked, everything about her clearly exposed for others to see.


    That eye is rather unusual! the silver-clothed woman said to herself before proceeding to ignore it.


    Other than the eye-bloodlines of the Eight Great God Eye descendants, there were also a few eye-bloodlines that approached their level. Some of these eye-bloodlines would even evolve, developing extremely unique abilities that put them on par with descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes. However, they had slightly less room to develop.


    Swoosh!


    Two silver streaks flitted through the air, cutting in half two guards before they had time to react. This spatial attack even annihilated their souls.


    Killing a Rank Seven Ancient God in a single strike! This woman is even stronger than I imagined! Zhao Feng became a little warier.


    After a little while, Zhao Feng succeeded in completely copying the silver-clothed woman''s spatial concealment technique. However, he didn''t have the chance to try it out at this time.


    After duplicating the technique, the eye of dreamy silver did not vanish from the outside world. He was working with the woman to kill any guards they encountered, so he wasn''t worried about being exposed. Moreover, in this way, he could better observe what the enemy was doing and keep a close watch on the surroundings.


    "Found it! That''s the secret hall!" Zhao Feng''s left eye pierced through various barriers to spot a secret hall guarded by several Rank Seven Ancient Gods.


    This secret hall was rather special; Zhao Feng could only barely make out a few figures within it.


    "Not good! Someone is coming!" Zhao Feng suddenly saw two figures flying toward their location.


    Swish!


    The eye of dreamy silver in the air suddenly vanished. Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five immediately made some distance between themselves and the silver-clothed woman, also displaying hostile looks on their faces.


    The woman stared at Ancient God Profound Devil''s group in surprise. These people talked about working together, so why were they now backing away and appearing hostile? Was everything before feigned? A trick?


    "You deceived me?" The silver-clothed woman''s face became a sheet of ice, her killing intent almost tangible.


    "Someone is coming." At this moment, Zhao Feng''s voice resounded in her mind.


    "I still need to use these five, so in front of members of the Heavenly Demon Hall, we are enemies!" Zhao Feng further explained.


    The woman was confused, but she quickly sensed two powerful auras approaching.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    A man and woman swiftly arrived.


    "Found them! I didn''t think that it would be Ancient God Luo Ling that infiltrated this place!" Bizarrely, the two of them spoke in unison.


    But in reality, these two Samsara Immortal Bodies were linked with Ancient God Nether Spring''s mind, and Ancient God Nether Spring was the one who spoke these words from his position in the secret hall. Ancient God Nether Spring immediately recognized this silver-clothed woman, evidence of her renown.


    Ancient God Luo Ling''s expression darkened. It was clear that these two were beyond her ability to cope with.


    "Why are you here?" The Devil Saint God Duo stared at Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    "And just who are you?" Ancient God Profound Devil shot back.


    Normally, the only people who would appear here would be authoritative figures of the Heavenly Demon Hall, and he would never dare to ask a question in this manner. However, the situation now was different, and besides, these two were Samsara Immortal Bodies that they had never seen before.


    "Ancient God Nether Spring!" the Devil Saint God Duo replied as one, visibly angered.


    "So it was Elder Nether Spring!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five immediately adopted expressions of respect.


    "Reporting to Elder Nether Spring, there was a large explosion in the gravity training room. The five of us followed the trail to this place and found this infiltrator. We were prepared to capture her and report the matter to the Elders!" Ancient God Profound Devil gave the explanation Zhao Feng had provided.


    "Hmph! What ambition! Is this person someone that you lot can deal with?" The Devil Saint God Duo coldly snorted, but their suspicion toward Ancient God Profound Devil''s group slightly decreased.


    It was a common sight for someone to not report a matter to their superiors and act on their own for personal gain. He had also received word on the explosion in the gravity training room. He should have been the one to go over and use his Eye of Samsara to revive the deceased, but he needed to guard the secret hall, so he could not leave.


    "Elder Nether Spring is correct, but now that your Samsara Immortal Bodies are here, this woman can be captured alive!" Ancient God Profound Devil proposed.


    "Hmph!" The Devil Saint God Duo coldly snorted again, and then they immediately attacked Ancient God Luo Ling.


    Boom!


    The pressure erupting from the pair made the Divine Power and blood in Ancient God Profound Devil''s group practically freeze, and all of them began to back away.


    The tall and muscular man shrouded in a gloomy dark mist was wielding a demon-headed saber. He immediately slashed down, unleashing a sinister and demonic strike. On the other side, the white-clothed holy maiden grasped a sword of white crystal and unleashed several waves of holy light.


    "Heaven Earth Void Domain!" Ancient God Luo Ling activated her Eyes of Spacetime. The air around her immediately began to flicker with spatial blurs.


    Swish!


    After using this move, Ancient God Luo Ling began to move through this space like a fish through water, her movements impossible to grasp.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    At some point, a small silver scimitar had appeared in her hand.


    Thwish!


    With a light wave, she unleashed a sharp and swift ray of light.


    But the Devil Saint God Duo were Samsara Immortal Bodies; even if ordinary attacks could injure them, they would immediately recover from their injuries.


    "Devil Execution!"


    "Holy Light Fairy Spirit Sword!"


    As Samsara Immortal Bodies, the Devil Saint God Duo feared nothing and madly attacked.


    All three of them are peak Rank Eight!


    Through the battle, Zhao Feng was able to determine the cultivation levels of all three.


    In a one-on-one duel, neither of the Devil Saint God Duo was any match for Ancient God Luo Ling. But they were currently fighting together, and they were both Samsara Immortal Bodies that feared no injury, so they were the ones with the upper hand.


    "I will help you!" Zhao Feng secretly messaged Ancient God Luo Ling.


    He required Ancient God Luo Ling''s strength, or else he would find it very difficult to enter the secret hall and rescue the little thieving cat.

 1329 Infiltrating the Secret Hall

    Chapter 1329 - Infiltrating the Secret Hall


    "I will help you!" Zhao Feng secretly messaged Ancient God Luo Ling.


    He required Ancient God Luo Ling''s strength, or else he would find it very difficult to enter the secret hall and rescue the little thieving cat.


    Besides, if Zhao Feng didn''t help her, the moment Ancient God Luo Ling was defeated, she would definitely expose Zhao Feng. So, Zhao Feng was compelled to lend a hand.


    However, if he wanted to help Ancient God Luo Ling, it was best if he remained undetected by the Devil Saint God Duo. Otherwise, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group wouldn''t be able to remain as Zhao Feng''s trump card.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Spatial Concealment!" Zhao Feng used the secret art that he had duplicated from Ancient God Luo Ling. He silently departed from Ancient God Profound Devil''s body, creating extremely faint spatial ripples.


    The Devil Saint God Duo was in the middle of a fierce battle with Ancient God Luo Ling, and Ancient God Luo Ling was an Eye of Spacetime descendant, so she was able to conceal the faint spatial ripples that Zhao Feng did create.


    Zhao Feng slowly began to familiarize himself with this secret art. He was now able to easily move about while producing almost undetectable ripples.


    Good! As long as I don''t connect myself to Ancient God Profound Devil''s group, I''ll be able to show myself as a reinforcement from the Spacetime Sacred Land!


    Hidden in space, Zhao Feng sped away from Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    ¡­


    Within the secret hall, Ancient God Nether Spring''s gloomy eyes were focused on the distance, as if he was in the position of the Devil Saint God Duo battling with Ancient God Luo Ling.


    "This Ancient God Luo Ling is really hard to deal with!" Ancient God Nether Spring grumbled.


    She was only a peak Rank Eight, and he had sent out two peak Rank Eights to deal with her. If even this wasn''t enough to finish her, once the other members of the Heavenly Demon Hall found out, he would be completely humiliated.


    Behind him, in the crystal box filled with gold and silver liquid, the silver runes on the little thieving cat''s body stopped thrumming. They returned to their original form and attached themselves back to its body.


    The little thieving cat was somewhat larger than it was back in the Heaven''s Legacy Race ruins, and its ears had gotten much longer. Its lithe and slender body was bursting with vitality and was extremely pleasing to look at.


    At this moment, the little thieving cat slightly opened its black jewel-like eyes, which appeared to be deep and mysterious.


    The little thieving cat suddenly seemed to notice something. Its mouth slightly curled into a smile before swiftly closing once more.


    Ancient God Nether Spring was too busy controlling the Devil Saint God Duo to notice.


    "The five of you, are you just going to stand around and watch? Hurry up and use the God Eye Fusion Art!" Ancient God Nether Spring roared. The Devil Saint God Duo abruptly yelled out the same words.


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five were taken aback. Zhao Feng, who had just left Ancient God Profound Devil''s body, was also surprised to see the Eye of Samsara descendant issue this kind of order.


    In order to avoid having his relationship with Ancient God Profound Devil''s group exposed, Zhao Feng was forced to order them to follow Ancient God Nether Spring''s orders.


    "Yes!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s group hurriedly nodded their heads. A moment later, their eyes began to exude Origin energy.


    "What?" Ancient God Luo Ling grimaced. She had apparently seen the God Eye Fusion Art before.


    Ancient God Luo Ling knew that Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five were under Zhao Feng''s command, and she was surprised that Zhao Feng actually permitted them to use the God Eye Fusion Art.


    At this moment, Ancient God Luo Ling was already thinking about making a run for it. The moment Ancient God Profound Devil''s group succeeded in activating that secret art, she wouldn''t be able to escape even if she wanted to.


    However, Ancient God Luo Ling was still waiting for Zhao Feng to show his hand. After all, Zhao Feng said a few moments ago that he would help her. Moreover, Zhao Feng''s goal was similar to hers, and without her help, Zhao Feng would find it very hard to achieve his own objective.


    But at this moment, the Origin energies of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five had already emerged from their eyes.


    "Haha! Ancient God Luo Ling, just obediently be captured!" The Devil Saint God Duo savagely smiled.


    They were unable to deal with Ancient God Luo Ling because of her proficiency in Spacetime Intent. However, once Ancient God Profound Devil''s group used the God Eye Fusion Art, they would be able to restrain Ancient God Luo Ling''s Spacetime Intent.


    But right when Ancient God Profound Devil''s group was about to use the God Eye Fusion Art, a spatial ripple came from far behind them.


    "Ancient God Luo Ling, my apologies! I came late." Zhao Feng''s body emerged from the void.


    He was wearing a white hat with a veil, concealing his hair and eye, and he was wearing the Spacetime Robe, making him seem extremely mysterious.


    "Hmph!" Ancient God Luo Ling only snorted in reply. If Zhao Feng had appeared just a little later, she would have already chosen to retreat while also exposing Zhao Feng.


    "She had reinforcements!?" The Devil Saint God Duo were taken aback.


    Zhao Feng appeared rather far away, and he possessed high-level space techniques and the Spacetime Robe. Ancient God Nether Spring immediately decided that Zhao Feng must''ve been someone from the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm!" The moment Zhao Feng appeared, he circulated his Spacetime Intent and attacked Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five.


    Boom!


    A massive palm formed of hazy light transcended space to appear right in front of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    "Oh no!"


    All five of them showed expressions of fear. They immediately put a stop to the God Eye Fusion Art and used defensive techniques to minimize their injuries.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group was struck by Zhao Feng''s palm. They flew backward, vomiting blood as if they were suffering a backlash from their secret art being interrupted. The Devil Saint God Duo was in the middle of battle, so they couldn''t examine them too closely.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash!" Zhao Feng''s left eye unleashed a dazzling blade of white lightning that slashed at Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five.


    The Tribulation Lightning Eye Slash could actually be shifted through space to be unleashed directly on the opponent''s body so as to catch them by surprise. However, Zhao Feng was just acting, not actually trying to kill Ancient God Profound Devil and the others, so he just unleashed the attack from his left eye.


    "Tribulation Lightning energy!? This person is too powerful! We''re withdrawing!" Ancient God Profound Devil cried out in alarm and was the first to flee.


    The others immediately followed, fleeing the battlefield.


    "This pile of trash¡­!" The Devil Saint God Duo immediately cursed.


    But they didn''t suspect Ancient God Profound Devil''s group. Firstly, Ancient God Profound Devil''s group was ambushed by Zhao Feng while using their secret art, so they had undoubtedly been severely injured. Secondly, the Tribulation Lightning eye-bloodline technique Zhao Feng used was extremely damaging and had also been infused with Space energy, which was highly unusual.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group fled toward the secret hall.


    Ancient God Luo Ling was startled. With this minor trick, Zhao Feng not only got rid of his subordinates without losing them, he managed to send them fleeing toward the secret hall.


    She couldn''t help but shoot a few glances at Zhao Feng. After all, Zhao Feng had been hiding until now, so Ancient God Luo Ling was never able to get a clear look at him.


    This person has the Spacetime Robe!


    Zhao Feng''s face was concealed, so Ancient God Luo Ling''s gaze settled directly on the Spacetime Robe, the sight of which left her rather shocked. The Spacetime Robe was a Spacetime-type supreme-quality divine artifact ¨C a divine artifact that all Eye of Spacetime descendants dreamed about obtaining.


    Ancient God Luo Ling also recalled another matter; after the last opening of the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, the team from the Spacetime Sacred Land that went in claimed that the Spacetime Robe had appeared, but they lost the struggle over it to a youth with a mysterious left eye.


    "Ancient God Luo Ling, I''ve come to help you!"


    Zhao Feng didn''t get too close. After all, this was a battle between three peak Rank Eight Ancient Gods. Zhao Feng didn''t have enough strength to directly participate. But if he could just slightly hinder the Devil Saint God Duo, Ancient God Luo Ling would have a chance to turn the tables.


    "Heaven Engulfing Palm!" Zhao Feng circulated his Spacetime Intent and sent out several spatial palms.


    "A trifling peak Rank Seven dares to disturb a battle between peak Rank Eight Ancient Gods!? Truly foolish!" The Devil Saint God Duo sneered.


    They were Samsara Immortal Bodies, so they could ignore ordinary attacks.


    Ancient God Luo Ling also shot Zhao Feng a glance. She had not expected for Zhao Feng to only be a peak Rank Seven. She never would''ve expected that a peak Rank Seven Ancient God would dare to sneak into the dangerous Heavenly Demon Hall.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s palms of energy ignored space to directly appear in front of the Devil Saint God Duo. In a flash, the Devil Saint God Duo sensed a formidable Spacetime Intent.


    "Level Six Space Intent, and the Time Intent isn''t weak either!" the Devil Saint God Duo called out in alarm.


    Although Zhao Feng had a weak cultivation, his Spacetime Intent was surprisingly strong.


    Ancient God Luo Ling was also rather surprised. With her Eye of Spacetime, her Space intent had reached Level Seven, and her Time Intent was on the same level as Zhao Feng''s, Level Four.


    At this moment, Ancient God Luo Ling really believed that Zhao Feng was from the Spacetime Sacred Land, and perhaps was even one of its formidable powerhouses.


    "Heaven Earth Void Domain!" Ancient God Luo Ling used this moment to strike, activating her Heaven Earth Void Domain and increasing the power of Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Intent.


    Booom!


    The palms of spatial light exploded on the Devil Saint God Duo''s bodies. With Ancient God Luo Ling''s help, Zhao Feng''s Heaven Engulfing Palms were stronger than ever before, and the Spacetime Intent was able to greatly hinder and disturb the Devil Saint God Duo.


    "Void Spirit Slash!" Ancient God Luo Ling''s eyes spun as she availed herself of the opportunity.


    The silver scimitar in her hand glimmered with spatial light and then unleashed a massive crescent of spatial energy.


    Hwooom!


    With a swing of the scimitar, this massive crescent exploded forward and then abruptly vanished. When this crescent appeared in the real world once more, it was right in front of the Devil Saint God Duo.


    Swoosh!


    This spatial crescent cut right through the waists of the Devil Saint God Duo, cleaving them in half.


    "Damn!" the Devil Saint God Duo cursed.


    Although they were Samsara Immortal Bodies that were able to recover from all kinds of injuries, being cut in half meant that they wouldn''t be able to fight normally.


    ¡­


    Within the secret hall, two automaton guards halted Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    "Elder, it''s us!" Ancient God Profound Devil immediately called out.


    Within the secret hall, Ancient God Nether Spring was rather annoyed.


    "Those rascals actually ran all the way here?" The operators in the hall shook their heads.


    This was a secret area of the Heavenly Demon Hall, which normal members were forbidden from approaching, much less entering.


    "Let them in!" Ancient God Nether Spring growled.


    "Who knows how many people the Spacetime Sacred Land sent in? We don''t have enough men here, so perhaps they might have some use," Ancient God Nether Spring supplemented.


    "Yes!" An operator opened up the doors to the secret hall.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    "Elder!"


    Ancient God Profound Devil''s group all seemed rather weak. Once they entered, they began to take in their surroundings with astonished eyes.


    ¡­


    Outside, Zhao Feng, who was in the middle of assisting Ancient God Luo Ling, faintly smiled.


    Success!


    Zhao Feng activated his left eye. A moment later, he could see everything that was going on in the secret hall.

 1330 The Thieving Cat Breaks Free

    Chapter 1330 - The Thieving Cat Breaks Free


    The moment Ancient God Profound Devil''s group entered the secret hall, Zhao Feng could see everything through their eyes.


    Rank Nine Ancient God! Zhao Feng could sense Ancient God Nether Spring''s true cultivation level, and his body involuntarily trembled. If he carelessly forced his way in, he would immediately be taken care of.


    It seems like now is not the time to strike. Zhao Feng''s eyes dimmed, and he decided to keep Ancient God Profound Devil''s group on standby for now.


    Ancient God Nether Spring was an Eye of Samsara descendant, so he probably had a Rank Nine Ancient God Samsara Immortal Body on him. If Zhao Feng acted recklessly, not only would he have a hard time saving the little thieving cat, he would expose himself and lose the trump card of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group. Thus, Zhao Feng needed to wait for the right time.


    "Sacred Spirit Heaven-Piercing Sword!"


    "Wicked Devil Earth-Sundering Slash!"


    The Devil Saint God Duo''s bodies quickly recovered, and they once more began to viciously assault Ancient God Luo Ling.


    The surging tide of celestial and demonic energy forced even the distant Zhao Feng to take several steps back. The full force of a peak Rank Eight Ancient God could definitely cause the entire world to weep in despair.


    "Void Instant Movement!" Ancient God Luo Ling immediately used another high-level spacetime movement technique. Her body moved back and forth through space, her movements unpredictable.


    Every time she moved, Ancient God Little Ling would use the silver scimitar in her hands to unleash a spacetime attack.


    "Little girl, although we can''t do anything to you now, your spacetime attacks also have no effect on us." The Devil Saint God Duo chuckled.


    The only attack that could inflict any damage to them would be Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning energy, but Zhao Feng''s cultivation level was too low, the Tribulation Lightning energy too weak, so they didn''t really care about him.


    "Is that so? It seems like you two really are idiots!" Ancient God Luo Ling coldly chuckled as she unleashed another sharp ray of spatial light.


    "Mm?" The Devil Saint God Duo slightly creased their brows.


    They actually had noticed something strange, but they didn''t really pay it much attention. After all, as Samsara Immortal Bodies, they had long ago stopped caring about the sensations from their bodies. They would even often use their bodies as shields to block lethal attacks aimed at Ancient God Nether Spring.


    Swoosh!


    This sharp ray of spatial light struck the muscular man, leaving a large wound on his chest, but this wound was quickly healed.


    Wait! Their bodies didn''t completely recover! Shock appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    In truth, when Ancient God Luo Ling attacked these Samsara Immortal Bodies, she would use spatial energy to transport a portion of the damaged body to another space. Although it seemed like they had recovered, it was not complete.


    The Devil Saint God Duo also realized what was going on. Every time Ancient God Luo Ling attacked them, they would lose a part of their Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    "No wonder I felt like I couldn''t exert the full power of this body. So that''s what''s going on!" The muscular man''s expression darkened.


    Although Ancient God Nether Spring didn''t really care about this particular body, if these two bodies working together lost to Ancient God Luo Ling, it would be far too embarrassing.


    Great! I didn''t think that Ancient God Luo Ling would have a chance of defeating these two Samsara Immortal Bodies! Zhao Feng inwardly cheered.


    After all, these two Samsara Immortal Bodies were peak Rank Eight and nigh unkillable. From this, one could see just how powerful the Spacetime Sacred Land''s Ancient God Luo Ling was.


    She will be the key to rescuing the little thieving cat.


    Zhao Feng focused his eyes and began to circulate Spacetime Intent.


    Buzz! Swish!


    His Spacetime Robe suddenly waved, unleashing layers of translucent light that engulfed the Devil Saint God Duo.


    "Spacetime Barrier!"


    The Spacetime Barrier was a defensive skill of the Spacetime Robe. Any foe or attack that approached would be affected by Spacetime Intent, their power decreasing and their speed slowing. But the Spacetime Barrier could also be used to engulf someone, imprisoning them in a way similar to the Spacetime Seal.


    "A good move!" Ancient God Luo Ling immediately began to work with Zhao Feng, strengthening the power of his technique. At the same time, her silver scimitar unleashed a chain of attacks.


    Swoosh! Swish!


    Dazzling spatial blades of energy filled the sky and surrounded the Devil Saint God Duo.


    When these spatial blades dissipated, Zhao Feng saw that the Devil Saint God Duo''s bodies were in such tatters that they could no longer recover. This was because parts of their bodies had been transported elsewhere by Ancient God Luo Ling.


    An Eye of Samsara would have to exert tremendous might to recover these pieces. However, it was clear that this was not what Ancient God Nether Spring planned to do.


    "Good, good! You actually broke two of my Samsara Immortal Bodies! You brought this on yourself!" A roar came from the mouths of the Devil Saint God Duo. These were clearly Ancient God Nether Spring''s words.


    "You had a chance to escape earlier, but now, I will bury you in this place!" the Devil Saint God Duo spat out.


    Within the secret hall, Ancient God Nether Spring''s Eyes of Samsara began to turn. A gloomy circle of light that seemed to lead to the underworld formed in the air.


    Whoosh!


    A red figure with the body of a human and the head of a dragon charged out. It had two wings on its back and the tail of a dragon.


    Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body! Through the eye of Ancient God Profound Devil, Zhao Feng could see everything.


    But Zhao Feng didn''t shrink back at this sight. On the contrary, he was rather excited.


    Thwish!


    The Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body charged out of the secret hall.


    A chance!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye immediately began to thrum with Eye Intent. At this moment, the seal on the dreamy silver ball in his God Eye Dimension was completely undone.


    The Origin energy in the dreamy silver ball, suffused with the aura of a God Eye, could be easily noticed by others. Thus, Zhao Feng normally kept this Origin energy sealed.


    This energy¡­! Ancient God Luo Ling was stunned.


    Her Eyes of Spacetime fiercely shuddered just now. This energy that made her Eyes of Spacetime shudder was extremely familiar to her; it was very similar to the energy she felt when in front of the Spacetime God''s projection.


    At this moment, in the secret hall:


    "Mm?" Ancient God Nether Spring suddenly felt like some god high above was looking down on him. This energy made his Eyes of Samsara shiver.


    "What''s going on?" Ancient God Nether Spring turned his head around in shock.


    In the upper reaches of the secret hall, a silver eye flowing with thousands of different colors had appeared. This eye of dreamy silver was utterly enormous like it had become the ceiling of the hall, and it exuded a dominating and ancient aura.


    "Heavens! What''s that?"


    "That eye is very strange!"


    The operators on the ground couldn''t help but tremble in fear. They were extremely familiar with the bloodlines of the Eight Great God Eyes, and this was precisely the reason they were so surprised when they saw that enormous eye of dreamy silver.


    "Who is it!?" Ancient God Nether Spring''s mind trembled in shock. This eye of dreamy silver made his Eyes of Samsara tremble in instinctive fear.


    He could even sense the aura of a God Eye. Ancient God Nether Spring even believed for a moment that the power of a God Eye Deity had transcended space to descend on this hall.


    But this eye of dreamy silver was not any of the Eight Great God Eyes that he knew.


    Swish!


    The moment the eye appeared, it began to gather countless multicolored lightning bolts.


    "Hmph, what a weak attack! Shatter!" Ancient God Nether Spring shook off his shock. Sneering, he immediately attacked.


    Although this dreamy silver eye had an astonishing aura, the Eye Intent it exuded wasn''t very strong at all, and the power of this eye-bloodline technique seemed rather mediocre. Ancient God Nether Spring''s two eyes gathered Eye Intent and unleashed a ball of gloomy energy.


    "Oh no!" Suddenly, Ancient God Nether Spring grimaced.


    He finally realized that the eye of dreamy silver had not been aiming at him, but the crystal box filled with gold and silver liquid behind him.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat opened its deep black eyes and revealed a smug smile.


    A vortex of Eye Intent appeared over the crystal box.


    Swoosh!


    A moment later, a blade of lightning shot out. Tribulation Lightning energy mixed with the Origin energy of the God''s Spiritual Eye easily cut an opening in the crystal box.


    After unleashing this attack, the eye of dreamy silver disappeared.


    Thwish!


    In a flash, the little thieving cat disappeared from the crystal box. The lithe and slender body of the little thieving cat began to jump around within the hall.


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" Ancient God Nether Spring was stunned.


    The matter of the Heaven''s Legacy Cat had already been reported to his superiors. If he allowed the Heaven''s Legacy Cat to escape now, he would receive a great deal of the blame.


    "Elder Nether Spring, the bloodline factor in this Heaven''s Legacy Cat has already been activated¡­." an operator immediately said.


    "Even so, it still won''t escape!" Ancient God Nether Spring was taken aback, and then he coldly snorted.


    The Eye of Samsara was rather lacking in speed and combat prowess, and given the legendary abilities of the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, Ancient God Nether Spring felt that it was better to be safe than sorry and summoned his automaton.


    Swish!


    A pitch-black automaton wielding two golden swords immediately appeared.


    Ancient God Nether Spring''s automaton also had the strength of a Rank Nine Ancient God. With himself and the automaton working together, not even the crafty and shrewd Heaven''s Legacy Cat would be able to escape.


    At this moment, Ancient God Nether Spring suddenly sensed an astonishing strength as well as the aura of a God Eye. He immediately turned his head in shock.


    He saw that Ancient God Profound Devil''s group had already activated the God Eye Fusion Art.


    "The five of you have done well. Help me capture the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" Ancient God Nether Spring immediately yelled.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The eye of dreamy silver had abruptly appeared and caused the Heaven''s Legacy Cat to escape. This caused Ancient God Nether Spring to momentarily forget about Ancient God Profound Devil''s group.


    He was now delighted to see that they had already activated the God Eye Fusion Art. The power of this secret art was perfect for restraining the little thieving cat.


    "Yes!" Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five immediately replied.


    The hazy ball of energy over their heads produced two enormous chains. These chains were more than ten times thicker than the chains they used back in the Heaven''s Legacy Race ruins.


    The moment these two chains appeared, they shot toward Ancient God Nether Spring.


    "What!? You¡­!" Ancient God Nether Spring never would''ve imagined that members of his Heavenly Demon Hall would suddenly attack him. Even though he was a Rank Nine Ancient God, he was caught off guard and snared by the two chains.


    The places where the chains touched his body showed cracks and seemed like they were about to shatter.


    "What''s going on? They''re¡­!" The operators in the hall all paled.


    "Catch the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" Ancient God Nether Spring roared.


    Although he was being temporarily held down by the God Eye Fusion Art, he could still command his automaton.


    Whoosh!


    The Rank Nine automaton gripped its two golden swords and shot toward the little thieving cat as a black streak.

 1331 The Little Thieving Cat Returns

    Chapter 1331 - The Little Thieving Cat Returns


    The Rank Nine automaton transformed into a black streak of light as it shot toward the little thieving cat.


    This automaton had its own soul, but it was a slave to the controller, similar to the relationship between Zhao Feng and Ancient God Profound Devil. As long as Ancient God Nether Spring gave an order, the automaton had to execute it.


    Thwish!


    The automaton exploded with the pressure of a Rank Nine Ancient God and rumbled toward the little thieving cat.


    Meow!


    Unpanicked, the little thieving cat extended a claw. The silver runes on the claw immediately unleashed the energy of an ancient bloodline.


    This supreme ancient bloodline made everyone''s blood almost freeze, their bodies instinctively trembling in fear. Even Ancient God Nether Spring was startled.


    Boom!


    The pressure being exuded by the automaton was instantly dispelled. At the same time, the little thieving cat unleashed a strange white halo from its claws that engulfed the automaton.


    "This is a sealing method of the God Sealing Race!" an operator cried out in alarm.


    The automaton ran up against the white shroud of light, and as it did, its aura began to fade while its speed began to slow.


    This automaton was still a Rank Nine though; it immediately exploded with dazzling Divine Power that scattered the Sealing power.


    But at this moment, the little thieving cat opened its mouth wide and began to inhale. A half-transparent black hole appeared above the automaton, emitting a terrifying suction power.


    Hwooom!


    A part of the surging Divine Power the automaton unleashed was immediately sucked into the black hole.


    "A skill of the Heaven Devouring Race!" Ancient God Nether Spring, who was still in the middle of trying to escape his binds, was stunned by this sight. If he was not seeing it with his own eyes, he would have never dared to believe that all this was real.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat closed its mouth and burped. The black hole above the automaton thusly vanished.


    "Kill!" Under the command of Ancient God Nether Spring, the automaton began to attack the little thieving cat more fiercely.


    This Heaven''s Legacy Cat was simply too powerful. Capturing it without injuring it was simply impossible.


    Swooosh!


    Several golden rays of extremely condensed sword light shot like lightning bolts toward the little thieving cat.


    But at this moment, the little thieving cat became a black flash of energy, dispersing into countless dark wisps that scattered in every direction.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The automaton''s sword technique missed, pulverizing the protective barrier of the machine that the little thieving cat had been standing on just moments ago.


    Its attack having missed, the automaton began to scan the black wisps of energy around it, but it couldn''t determine which one was the actual little thieving cat.


    "And what sort of skill is that!?" Ancient God Profound Devil watched this all in shock.


    Through his eye, Zhao Feng could also see what was going on.


    "Damn! The five of you, for daring to attack me, I will refine you all into Samsara Immortal Bodies to serve me for eternity in unending suffering!" Ancient God Nether Spring furiously roared at Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five.


    "The power is almost used up!" Ancient God Black Extreme feebly said.


    Not long ago, in the battle within the Heaven''s Legacy Race ruins, they used far too much of their God Eye Origin energy, and even now, they had still not completely recovered. On top of that, the one they were binding this time was Ancient God Nether Spring. The two enormous chains were consuming a vast amount of energy and wouldn''t be able to last for long.


    "Over there!" Ancient God Nether Spring suddenly stared in shock at a black wisp of energy near the entrance to the secret hall.


    "Not good! The Heaven''s Legacy Cat is about to escape!"


    "Catch it!"


    The operators in the secret hall began to yell.


    They had consumed many resources and a great deal of energy to allow this Heaven''s Legacy Cat to evolve. Now that they succeeded, how could they allow the Heaven''s Legacy Cat to escape?


    Whoosh!


    The automaton swiftly flew toward the entrance.


    Meow!


    That black wisp of energy immediately transformed into the little thieving cat. The little thieving cat flew up to the doors and stretched out its front claws.


    Whoosh!


    The gates suddenly flew open. Before leaving, the little thieving cat gave a slight bow to Ancient God Nether Spring and the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall, as if it was thanking them.


    The automaton was far slower than the little thieving cat. By the time it arrived, the cat had vanished without a trace.


    "Damn! That Heaven''s Legacy Cat was actually able to open the mechanical gate!"


    "It didn''t just awaken its abilities and bloodline, but also its memories¡­."


    ¡­


    Success! Zhao Feng had a joyful look on his face.


    "Was it someone on your side that rescued the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!?" the Devil Saint God Duo stared at Ancient God Luo Ling and Zhao Feng and furiously bellowed. This was naturally Ancient God Nether Spring''s suspicion.


    "What do they mean?" Ancient God Luo Ling appeared confused. What is a Heaven''s Legacy Cat?


    "Let''s go! The enemy''s Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body is coming over!" Zhao Feng immediately messaged Ancient God Luo Ling.


    After saying that, Zhao Feng began to flee.


    The Devil Saint God Duo paid no attention to Zhao Feng. Ancient God Luo Ling was their true opponent.


    Ancient God Luo Ling was stunned. She did not immediately retreat, and there was hesitation in her eyes.


    "Escape first. Samsara Immortal Bodies can''t catch up to you. There will be another chance to save your little brother!" Zhao Feng saw that Ancient God Luo Ling was standing still and began to persuade her. After all, he owed much of his success in saving the little thieving cat to Ancient God Luo Ling.


    Moreover, Ancient God Luo Ling''s hesitation told Zhao Feng that she possibly had the ability to contend against a Rank Nine Ancient God. Otherwise, she would have immediately escaped once she heard that a Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body was coming.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng couldn''t afford to care that much though. Concealing himself in space, he fled.


    The little thieving cat had experienced a major evolution in this place, and its strength made a large leap. The moment it escaped, the two of them became capable of sensing where each other approximately was.


    In addition, now that the little thieving cat had escaped, Zhao Feng was able to put all his focus into controlling Ancient God Profound Devil''s group to hold down Ancient God Nether Spring. They were the ones to capture the little thieving cat, and now, Zhao Feng was using them to save the little thieving cat.


    ¡­


    On the perimeter of the Arctic Abyss, explosions constantly resounded through the air.


    Brrrooom!


    The world was gloomy, ice and rocks flying about.


    Four experts of the Spacetime Sacred Land were in fierce combat with some of the upper echelon members of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    "The members of this faction are all God Eye descendants!"


    "And they can use eye-bloodlines just as well as us. But it seems like they aren''t perfectly integrated with their eyes."


    The Spacetime Sacred Land experts began to assess their opponents.


    Although they weren''t very integrated with their eyes, the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall were extremely proficient in the use of their eye-bloodlines. They knew all kinds of bizarre eye-bloodline techniques and possessed numerous strange divine artifacts and tools. For this reason, the people of the Spacetime Sacred Land didn''t have that much of an advantage.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Above them, destructive waves of energy shook the heavens.


    "How terrifying!"


    A peak Rank Eight Ancient God in the middle of battle couldn''t help but tremble and look up. However, that place was obscured by furious storms of various kinds of energy.


    "As expected of the Spacetime Sacred Land''s Ancient God Scarlet Firmament. Although you''ve only just become a half-step God Lord, you''re actually a little stronger than this old man!" The gray-scaled old man heartily laughed.


    In front of the old man was an indistinct figure with a hazy and blurred face.


    "Hmph, you lot are truly bold! How dare you strike core members of the Spacetime Sacred Land!?" the dissatisfied voice of a middle-aged man rang out.


    "We also only realized that they were members of the Spacetime Sacred Land after the fact. This old man apologizes to you and is willing to pay compensation."


    The gray-scaled old man expressed a desire to compromise. If he could pay a price to cover up this matter, he would naturally take it.


    "Hmph, besides compensation, you must publicly apologize to the Spacetime Sacred Land, or else this matter cannot be brought to a close!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament growled.


    Originally, they planned to save their two disciples first and then seek out compensation. But upon finding this place, they discovered that this faction had extremely deep reserves and was thronging with experts, and many of them were God Eye descendants. There was undoubtedly something abnormal about this faction.


    Thus, they felt a great desire to learn the purpose for which this faction existed. His only desire at this point was to hold down the gray-scaled elder and the rest, confident that Ancient God Luo Ling would be able to find something.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "Your Spacetime Sacred Land bullies people too much! Do not blame this old man!" The gray-scaled elder''s expression suddenly turned cold and sinister.


    A public apology to the Spacetime Sacred Land would essentially expose their entire operation.


    Black mists began to surge in the elder''s eyes, and a heaven-shaking Death Eye energy began to pulse.


    But suddenly, the gray-scaled elder stopped his eye-bloodline technique.


    "You actually sent an infiltrator¡­!" The elder was immediately infuriated.


    The Spacetime Sacred Land had someone wreaking havoc in secret, freeing the Heaven''s Legacy Cat. This was the Heaven''s Legacy Cat that they had very carefully prepared, and now it had escaped. This was an unprecedented loss for the Heavenly Demon Hall. Crucially, they had already reported this matter to their superiors.


    Not good! Was Ancient God Luo Ling discovered? Ancient God Scarlet Firmament''s expression flickered.


    From the expression on the gray-scaled elder''s face, Ancient God Luo Ling was seemingly still alive. No matter what, he had to hold down the elder, or else Ancient God Luo Ling would be in even greater danger.


    The gray-scaled elder immediately turned his eyes to some nearby members of the Heavenly Demon Hall. He messaged, "Quickly return to the Heavenly Demon Hall and remove the infiltrator from the Spacetime Sacred Land. In addition, capture the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!"


    The most important priority for the Heavenly Demon Hall was secrecy. So, when the Spacetime Sacred Land attacked, the Heavenly Demon Hall mobilized many of its members to set up defensive arrays around its perimeter. Now, upon receiving the elder''s message, several formidable Ancient Gods immediately departed.


    ¡­


    Inside the Heavenly Demon Hall, Zhao Feng, wearing the Spacetime Robe, was in hiding. The God''s Spiritual Eye allowed him to notice when anyone was approaching his location.


    Whoosh!


    A silver streak of light suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Feng. Afterward, a silver-gray cat covered in mysterious runes appeared before him.


    "Little thieving cat!" Zhao Feng had a joyful look on his face.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng''s shoulder and began to gesture at him.


    "There''s no need to thank me. Let''s go!" Zhao Feng had accomplished his goal, so now he needed to think about how he was going to get out of here.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat immediately yowled, jumping in front of Zhao Feng before beginning to gesture once more.


    "You want to take me to a good place?" Zhao Feng had a dubious look on his face.


    The little thieving cat could perform divinations. It could guide Zhao Feng, but it oftentimes led him to extremely dangerous areas.

 1332 Treasury

    Chapter 1332 - Treasury


    In the gravity training room, a cold and gloomy woman wearing a black robe floated in the air, her gloomy eyes slowly turning.


    A dark yellow fog, like the fog of the underworld, drifted through the room, engulfing the shattered and wrecked gravity training room. This place seemed to have become a haunted land that instilled dread in anyone within it.


    Suddenly, a black object appeared in the yellow fog, like a lost and wandering soul.


    Whoosh!


    This dark silver soul immediately went up to the black-robed woman.


    "Many thanks!" Ancient God Asura Gate said with extreme gratitude. He recognized this woman to have a Rank Eight cultivation. She had probably paid a significant price to revive him.


    Whoosh!


    The black-robed woman stopped the turning of her eyes, and her complexion somewhat paled.


    "It''s you? Ancient God Asura Gate, how did you die?" the gloomy woman asked in shock.


    "It was Ancient God Asura Gate? Just what happened here?" The other nearby members were also stunned.


    "I was lured into a trap by a brat who''s infiltrated this place. That brat has the Spacetime Robe and is also controlling Ancient God Profound Devil and several of his companions. All of them worked together to kill me!" Ancient God Asura Gate''s soul clenched its teeth and said.


    Although he was surrounded and killed, everyone who surrounded him all had lower cultivation levels. This was a great humiliation to Ancient God Asura Gate.


    "That''s right¡­! I''ll tell you what that brat looks like. Hurry and inform the upper echelon members of the Heavenly Demon Hall!" Ancient God Asura Gate immediately said.


    "That''s not needed; the person with the Spacetime Robe that you speak of is already known to the upper echelon members." The gloomy woman slightly shook her head.


    "Is he dead?" Taken aback, Ancient God Asura Gate inquired further.


    "No. Not only that, he has a companion and even managed to release the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" The gloomy woman''s face turned sharp and vicious.


    "What? That brat isn''t dead? I''m going to kill him!" Ancient God Asura Gate furiously roared.


    Ancient God Asura Gate''s hatred toward Zhao Feng made him completely disregard the matter of the Heaven''s Legacy Cat.


    "You''re only a soul right now. Even if you occupy someone, you won''t be of much use," the woman coldly said.


    She had spent so much Origin energy and Eye Intent to revive an expert of the Heavenly Demon Hall, but he wasn''t able to provide any useful information. This made her feel like she had suffered a great loss.


    "Let me borrow your automaton. Your automaton should be the newest model, with special eyes capable of using powerful eye-bloodline techniques. Relax. Once I kill that brat, I will return the automaton and also give you five thousand contribution points!" Ancient God Asura Gate impatiently pleaded with the gloomy woman.


    Ancient God Asura Gate could hardly contain himself. He had to personally kill Zhao Feng, but he was just a soul, and there was no Rank Eight Ancient God that would allow him to occupy their body. However, if he occupied a Rank Seven Ancient God, he would be no match for Zhao Feng. Thus, Ancient God Asura Gate planned to attach himself to a powerful automaton and use it to achieve his goal.


    "Five thousand contribution points? You''d better keep your word!" The gloomy woman''s eyes brightened. With other members here to serve as witnesses, she was not afraid of Ancient God Asura Gate going back on his word.


    After saying that, she took out her automaton.


    Swish!


    A dark blue automaton appeared at her side, equipped with a sword and shield. Its eyes glimmered with a blue, jewel-like luster.


    "Many thanks!" Ancient God Asura Gate''s soul flew into the dark blue automaton.


    At the start, the soul of the automaton instinctively resisted. But under its master''s control, it could only cease resistance and allow itself to be pushed down by Ancient God Asura Gate, ceding its authority.


    "Peak Rank Eight cultivation¡­! Zhao Feng, you''re finished!" Ancient God Asura Gate was ecstatic.


    The strength of this body was even stronger than his own. He wasn''t highly integrated with it though, so he couldn''t use the powers of the Eye of Spacetime that his original body possessed.


    ¡­


    Zhao Feng and little thieving cat were rapidly traversing the corridors and halls of the Heavenly Demon Hall''s core area. The little thieving cat was leading the way, bouncing all around the place, its claws patting here and snatching there.


    Through these simple actions, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat encountered no traps or arrays on their journey. They were even able to pass through entry points that required identity verification without any trouble.


    "This cat¡­! No wonder it''s the most classified secret of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, the Heaven''s Legacy Cat." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sigh in wonder.


    He had only successfully infiltrated this place by pretending to be someone else and being intentionally captured. He then had to rely on Ancient God Profound Devil''s group to sneak into the secret hall. But with the little thieving cat at his side, he could stroll through this place like it was his own garden.


    Zhao Feng finally understood why the little thieving cat took such a tremendous risk to be intentionally captured and brought to this place. If Zhao Feng could also have experienced such an evolution if he was captured and brought to this place, he would have been willing to try.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but use his left eye to examine the little thieving cat, but he discovered that he couldn''t see through it. He couldn''t even determine the little thieving cat''s cultivation level.


    A large castle made of violet steel soon appeared before Zhao Feng.


    This castle of violet steel stood out like a sore thumb compared to the surrounding buildings. It was clearly some special and important place. Two layers of defensive arrays had been placed, and various kinds of mechanisms had been installed around the violet steel passage leading inside.


    Not even members of the Heavenly Demon Hall would dare to recklessly approach this place.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat gestured at Zhao Feng and made a crafty smile.


    "The Heavenly Demon Hall''s treasury?" Zhao Feng was stunned, and then he smiled at the little thieving cat; "Thieving cat, you definitely have a way of getting in!"


    Zhao Feng placed himself in mortal danger to infiltrate this place and rescue the little thieving cat. The smallest mistake could have condemned him to eternal damnation. The little thieving cat knew to thank him by bringing him to this place, and based on the skills the little thieving cat displayed on the way here, it definitely had the ability to get into the treasury.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat gave a smug smile, indicating that Zhao Feng could leave everything to it.


    "Okay! I''ll stand guard." Zhao Feng left this place to the little thieving cat and activated his God''s Spiritual Eye to keep a watch on the surroundings.


    Swish!


    The little thieving cat transformed into a bright ray of silver, passing straight through the defensive array. The little thieving cat proceeded to destroy the crucial parts of the arrays from within.


    It then jumped onto the path leading to the violet castle. Here, it slowed down, its four claws moving to and fro across the path.


    Wherever the little thieving cat crossed, the light of the path would immediately dim. In the end, the path of violet steel became just like any other ordinary path.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat called out to Zhao Feng.


    "That simple?" Zhao Feng found it somewhat difficult to believe. This speed was a little too quick.


    Making no effort to conceal his excitement, he charged forward.


    Slap!


    The little thieving cat''s claw struck the main gate like a large silver drill. A tiny crack appeared in the center of the violet steel gates.


    Boom!


    The gates opened, allowing Zhao Feng entry.


    The little thieving cat appeared to be even more excited than Zhao Feng and jumped right in.


    The space within the castle wasn''t large. At its four corners were metal frames made of violet steel. Many divine weapons, tools, and instruments were displayed on these frames, every one with its personal protective barrier.


    "This is a legendary divine weapon of antiquity, the Heaven''s Vault Axe!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused on an ancient and timeworn giant axe that exuded a domineering and grandiose aura.


    In ancient times, the Heaven''s Vault Axe was incredibly famous and possessed abnormal power. It was said that it was capable of cleaving the world in two. It was also rumored that this Heaven''s Vault Axe contained a unique firmament and was able to help a cultivator comprehend the power of Heaven''s Vault.


    In the present age, the formidable offensive power of the Heaven''s Vault Axe was able to crush almost all high-quality divine artifacts, making it a peak existence among high-quality divine artifacts.


    "The ancient divine artifact, the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror!" Zhao Feng''s eyes turned to a mirror. This mirror was sparkling and translucent, and its surface crackled with lightning.


    The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror was a supreme-quality divine artifact of the Ancient Era. It was rumored that this mirror could not only unleash attacks of the supreme Nine Heavens Lightning, but it could also absorb and refine souls into unique Lighting Soul Crystals. Upon consuming one of these crystals, one would be able to produce Soul Lightning that could be used to temper one''s mind.


    Besides those two objects, there were several other treasures that Zhao Feng recognized. All of them were renowned and heaven-defying divine artifacts. There were also unique instruments and tools that Zhao Feng could not recognize.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat hurriedly began to gesture and then flew off to one of the metal frames in the back.


    "These protective barriers aren''t the result of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s secret arts, so the little thieving cat has no means of undoing them. Unless the person who applied the technique touches them, the only way to remove these barriers is with brute force!" Upon realizing what the little thieving cat was trying to say, Zhao Feng became somewhat disappointed.


    "It seems like I''ll have to make the best use of my time and take only what I need or is most valuable." Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    Other than some divine artifacts, he didn''t recognize the instruments or tools in this room. The protective barriers also meant that Zhao Feng couldn''t even sense their energies. Thus, Zhao Feng quickly made up his mind and set his sights on the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    ¡­


    Within the core secret hall:


    "Damn, those scoundrels¡­!" Ancient God Nether Spring furiously roared, his voice echoing through the hall.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The secret hall was gloomy, and a part of the area had been wrecked by an explosion. Fortunately for them, the important instruments in the secret hall had protective barriers, so they were not severely damaged, but this was still an enormous loss to the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    "Cough! Cough! I didn''t think that the five of them would self-detonate¡­." a blue-haired operator coughed several times before painfully saying.


    As it turned out, right when Ancient God Profound Devil''s group was about to run out of energy, Zhao Feng ordered them to self-detonate to impede Ancient God Nether Spring. Caught off guard, Ancient God Nether Spring was heavily injured in the resulting explosion.


    Fortunately for him, he had a Samsara Immortal Body and was able to quickly recover. However, a lot of instruments in this place were severely damaged, and three operators died.


    "Hmph! The five of them were being controlled by someone from the Spacetime Sacred Land." Ancient God Nether Spring coldly snorted.


    When Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five self-detonated, he sensed the energy of another soul on their souls.


    Although Ancient God Profound Devil''s group somewhat feared death and tried to resist the self-detonation, they were ultimately incapable of defying Zhao Feng''s will.


    Ancient God Nether Spring could immediately revive these five if he wanted, but he needed to conserve his strength to exterminate the infiltrators and recapture the Heaven''s Legacy Cat before doing anything like that.


    "How is it? Have you tracked down that other person yet?" Ancient God Nether Spring asked.


    They had already found Ancient God Luo Ling''s trail and sent people after her, including Ancient God Nether Spring''s Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body. However, Ancient God Luo Ling was extremely fast and had extremely high-level concealment techniques.


    "Not yet¡­ eh? The majority of the mechanisms around the eastern treasury have ceased functioning!" An operator came to carefully examine the vast and complicated screen before him, upon which he exclaimed in shock.


    "What? The eastern treasury!?" Ancient God Nether Spring almost vomited blood.


    He originally believed that Zhao Feng would choose to flee. To his surprise, Zhao Feng remained around the core area and had even gotten close to the treasury!

 1333 Astonishing Harves

    Chapter 1333 - Astonishing Harvest


    "What? The eastern treasury!?" Ancient God Nether Spring almost vomited blood.


    He originally believed that Zhao Feng would choose to flee. To his surprise, Zhao Feng remained around the core area and had even gotten close to the treasury!


    The eastern treasury stored the Heavenly Demon Hall''s research results from the last ten thousand years as well as the treasures they had gathered from all over. All of these objects had been locked up and sealed, treated with the utmost priority.


    "Logically speaking, they shouldn''t be able to break through the arrays and traps around the treasury, but¡­" The operator was somewhat confused.


    The treasury was protected by defensive arrays and various mechanisms and traps. The only members of the Heavenly Demon Hall that could smoothly go in and out were the few elite experts.


    "Even if that scoundrel is controlling members of the Heavenly Demon Hall, it will be difficult for him to break through. The only possibility is¡­ the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" Ancient God Nether Spring''s expression turned glum.


    He never expected that the Heaven''s Legacy Cat would help someone from the Spacetime Sacred Land. Perhaps the Heaven''s Legacy Cat just wanted to help this person out because he had saved it. The Heaven''s Legacy Cat might also need some objects from the treasury for itself.


    Ancient God Nether Spring immediately took out a dark silver message token. "Send some people to the eastern treasury to intercept and kill the intruder. In addition, catch the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!"


    The treasury was in the core area. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Ancient God Nether Spring could not allow ordinary members into the core area. The people of the Spacetime Sacred Land might have mixed themselves in, and if more of them were allowed to get inside, the situation would get even worse.


    ¡­


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" Zhao Feng gathered Chaos Origin Divine Power and unleashed a fist of heavy and gloomy energy.


    Boom! Bang!


    However, the powerful fist of energy was only able to cause a faint ripple in the protective barrier around the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror. The metal frame of violet steel seemed to be fused with the entire castle and remained motionless.


    "The Chaos Origin Divine Power cultivated through the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique is incredibly powerful. Although I''m just a peak Rank Seven, my Divine Power is stronger than an average Rank Eight''s, but even this isn''t enough to break the barrier?" Zhao Feng was slightly shocked.


    However, this was to be expected. After all, the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror was a supreme-quality divine artifact. Supreme-quality divine artifacts could not be that easy to obtain.


    At this moment, a grandiose ancient energy exploded from far away.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat, a lowly smile on its lips, was staring at a strange silver dagger covered in countless runes in its paw. The silver runes on the dagger thrummed with astonishing energy. Zhao Feng sensed that this was undoubtedly a supreme-quality divine weapon.


    "This rascal¡­" Zhao Feng was rather speechless.


    He originally believed that the thieving cat had brought him here to thank its master, but it turned out that the thieving cat only cared about itself.


    But Zhao Feng was even more astonished by the thieving cat''s methods. He hadn''t been carefully watching, so he wasn''t clear on what sort of method the thieving cat used to break the protective barrier.


    Upon obtaining the silver dagger, the little thieving cat immediately sat down, covering the dagger in silver-gray light.


    Any divine artifact required refinement before its power could be used.


    "Break for me!" Zhao Feng activated his left eye, a bolt of dreamy lightning surging within it.


    Kacrack!


    A moment later, a bolt of lightning shrouded in dreamy mist descended on the protective barrier surrounding the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror. This bolt of lightning crazily attacked the barrier.


    Swoosh! Swish!


    The barrier blinked with hazy light, and at a certain moment, a few holes appeared, created by the Tribulation Lightning explosions. However, this barrier had a recovery ability; as long as it still had energy, it would quickly restore itself.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" Zhao Feng immediately continued the assault, unleashing several supreme fists of gloomy energy.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The barrier was assaulted by both Tribulation Lightning attacks and Chaos Origin Divine Fists. The barrier''s energy was rapidly consumed, and it quickly began to dim.


    "Break!" A finger of Zhao Feng''s right hand began to exude the energy of a powerful ancient bloodline.


    Back in the Continent Zone, Zhao Feng sealed a drop of God Blood in his index finger. He had only done this because his body at the time was incapable of absorbing this blood.


    As Zhao Feng''s cultivation increased, the God Blood in his index finger constantly nurtured Zhao Feng''s blood and body, and its energy had long ago been exhausted. Even so, Zhao Feng''s index finger was still extremely unusual.


    Thwish!


    A dark red bolt of chaotic light shot out of the index finger. This bolt of energy rammed up against the barrier, and the two contended against each other for a few moments.


    Cling! Crack!


    The protective barrier finally shattered. The remaining power of the bolt landed on the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, but it only created a few sparks.


    "The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror¡­." Delighted, Zhao Feng reached out to take the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    Boom! Hisss!


    A primitive and ancient Lightning energy spread out from it. Even though Zhao Feng had a Sacred Lightning Body, he still felt numb when he touched this Lightning energy.


    However, Zhao Feng''s soul clearly didn''t fear this Lightning energy. It even appeared to be very welcoming, absorbing a significant amount of the Lightning energy being emitted by the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror. In a flash, Zhao Feng felt like his soul had been purified and refreshed.


    "This truly is the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror that can temper the soul!" Zhao Feng had a joyful look on his face.


    As his cultivation rose, his Lightning Soul Body was no longer as strong as it once was. But with the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body''s traits and advantages would once more be able to show themselves.


    Moreover, this Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror was also an offensive divine artifact. Zhao Feng was skilled in Tribulation Lightning and had Lightning Intent, so he would be able to make full use of its power.


    "The most important thing right now is to refine it." Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged on the floor.


    If he didn''t refine it, this supreme-quality divine artifact would be of no use to him. He was still inside the Heavenly Demon Hall, and the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall hated Zhao Feng to the bone. They were definitely scouring the place for his whereabouts.


    "If I can refine the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, I''ll be even more capable of protecting myself."


    Zhao Feng hurriedly circulated his Divine Power and Soul Power and poured it into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror. To his surprise, Zhao Feng refined the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror with abnormal speed.


    He had once experienced refining the Spacetime Robe. In comparison, the speed at which he refined the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror was truly astonishing.


    But just a little thinking made him understand. An Eye of Spacetime descendant refining the Spacetime Robe would probably do so much faster than Zhao Feng had. As for Zhao Feng, he cultivated Lightning Intent, had a Sacred Lightning Body, and his soul was the Lightning Soul Body, so refining the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror came very easily.


    Meow!


    After a little while, Zhao Feng heard the meowing of the little thieving cat at his ear.


    Even though Zhao Feng was extremely well-suited for the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, refining a supreme-quality divine artifact was not something that could be done in a short amount of time. By this point, he had only refined twenty percent of the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    "Not much time left?" Zhao Feng roughly understood what the little thieving cat was trying to say.


    The Heavenly Demon Hall had almost certainly noticed that he and the little thieving cat were in the treasury.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat gestured in front of Zhao Feng, and then it jumped onto one of the steel frames.


    "You want to help me choose some useful things?" Zhao Feng was stunned, and then a suspicious look appeared on his face.


    A moment later, the rune-covered silver dagger appeared in little thieving cat''s hand, the runes glimmering with strange light.


    The little thieving cat went up to one of the barriers. Inside the barrier was a silver belt of light, shining with silver luster. The little thieving cat then lightly swung the dagger.


    Swoosh! Swish!


    A tear immediately appeared in the protective barrier. Although the barrier was doing its utmost to repair the tear, the dagger exuded a strange energy that opposed it.


    Swish!


    Meanwhile, the little thieving cat removed the object inside the barrier.


    "That simple!?" Zhao Feng was stunned.


    He could sense that the little thieving cat had refined the silver dagger to a much higher level than he had refined the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror. Through the observation abilities of the God''s Spiritual Eye, Zhao Feng could sense that the little thieving cat''s aura had slightly weakened. Presumably, the little thieving cat consumed a significant amount of energy to extract this weapon from its protective barrier.


    The little thieving cat threw the silver belt of light to Zhao Feng.


    Meow!


    After casually making a few gestures, the little thieving cat turned its jewel-like eyes elsewhere.


    Following the little thieving cat''s instructions, Zhao Feng placed the belt near the Spacetime Robe and slightly stimulated it with Divine Power. Suddenly, the silver belt of light slowly began to sink into the Spacetime Robe.


    Zhao Feng immediately used his God''s Spiritual Eye to observe the process. He discovered that this belt of light had divided into many tiny threads. They then sank into the flawed or damaged parts of the Spacetime Robe and repaired them.


    "What a miraculous effect!" Zhao Feng was flabbergasted.


    The Spacetime Robe was a supreme-quality divine artifact from the Ancient Era. After countless years, it had become rather badly bruised and damaged. And Zhao Feng, after obtaining the Spacetime Robe, had gone through many dangerous situations, adding to the damage of the Spacetime Robe. But now, it was almost completely repaired.


    But before he could think on this matter any more, the little thieving cat threw over another object.


    "This should be some sort of special tool¡­." Zhao Feng looked at the metal sphere in his hand, about the size of a baby''s fist.


    He sent his Divine Sense into the ball, but all he could sense was a strange fog.


    His Divine Power surged through it.


    Kabooom!


    The metal ball suddenly melted in Zhao Feng''s hand, transforming into a multicolored mist that engulfed Zhao Feng.


    Although he was surrounded by this fog, Zhao Feng''s vision and Divine Sense were unaffected.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    "What''s the point of this thing?"


    Zhao Feng still wasn''t sure about the use of this tool, but since the little thieving cat personally picked it out for Zhao Feng, it definitely wasn''t anything normal.


    "Not good! Someone is coming!" At this moment, Zhao Feng''s left eye looked through the walls and sighted a figure. Another figure soon followed, and their target was the treasury where he and the little thieving cat were.


    "Thieving cat!" Zhao Feng called out in alarm.


    Swish!


    The little thieving cat immediately jumped off the steel frame. The pair began to leave the castle of violet steel.


    The moment they left, Zhao Feng heard a cry of alarm; "It really is here!"


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Cat!"


    Three figures were swiftly approaching the little thieving cat. Two of them were Rank Eight Ancient Gods, and their leader, a red-haired man, was a peak Rank Eight.


    "Eh? What''s that ball of multicolored mist?" One of them stared at the mist engulfing Zhao Feng in confusion.


    Their eyes could not see through the mist, and not even their Divine Senses could see anything inside. Thus, in their view, this was just a multicolored ball of mist rapidly moving through the air.

 1334 Head-On Confrontation

    Chapter 1334 - Head-On Confrontation


    "Eh? What''s that ball of multicolored mist?" One of them stared at the mist engulfing Zhao Feng in confusion.


    Their eyes could not see through the mist, and not even their Divine Senses could see anything inside.


    They can''t see me? Zhao Feng could guess what was going on from the trio''s reaction.


    So this tool can conceal my identity. Zhao Feng immediately understood why the little thieving cat obtained it.


    This tool truly was something that he needed at present.


    Almost everyone in the Heavenly Demon Hall knew of Zhao Feng''s appearance. However, the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall currently believed that Zhao Feng was a member of the Spacetime Sacred Land, so they disregarded the possibility of him being the Ninth God Eye.


    The more he understood about this faction, the more Zhao Feng sensed that they had an ardent desire for God Eyes and their descendants. With this tool, Zhao Feng could now move around much more easily and with less risk.


    "The two of you, don''t even think about leaving after invading the treasury!"


    "Catch them!"


    The three pursuers angrily bellowed.


    "Gold Piercing Light Sword!" The red-haired man''s eyes shone with multicolored light, and a golden sword that could cut through all things in the world suddenly shot out from them.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" Zhao Feng gathered Chaos Origin Divine Power and used one of his powerful combat skills.


    Chaos Origin Divine Power was incredibly unique; it contained many kinds of Intents and attributes, and there was almost no energy that was capable of countering it.


    However, there was no ignoring the difference in cultivation. His Chaos Origin Divine Fist barely lasted for a few moments before being blasted through by the golden sword.


    At this moment, a translucent mirror crackling with lightning appeared in Zhao Feng''s hands.


    "Nine Heavens Lightning power!" Zhao Feng placed a hand on the back of the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror and circulated his Tribulation Lightning energy and Lightning Intent.


    Boom! Hisss!


    The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror immediately unleashed Lightning energy that could make demons and ghosts quail in fear. The souls of his three pursuers couldn''t help but tremble. The surrounding world seemed to become a Lightning Domain, electricity crackling through the air.


    "That''s¡­ the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror!"


    "You actually stole a divine artifact!?"


    The three pursuers immediately began to curse. The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror was one of the most valuable items in the eastern treasury.


    Boom! Hisss!


    The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror suddenly fired off a savage dragon-like bolt of lightning. Zhao Feng had only refined twenty percent of the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, but he was able to use a significant portion of its power.


    Boom! Bang!


    Nine Heavens Lightning power clashed with an endless number of golden swords. The two energies were so formidable that their explosions immediately blasted the surrounding buildings full of holes.


    The terrifying energy unleashed by the explosion caused the red-haired man''s group of three to momentarily slow down. Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat used this chance to vanish without a trace.


    "After him!" the red-haired man barked.


    At this moment, two astonishing auras began to approach the trio.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Two figures, one black and one white, arrived on the scene. The man was shrouded in black and ghostly fog while the gorgeous woman was surrounded by bright white mist, making her appear like a fairy.


    "The Devil Saint God Duo¡­ Elder Nether Spring!" the red-haired man respectfully called out.


    "Could the intruder from the Spacetime Sacred Land be together with the Heaven''s Legacy Cat?" the Devil Saint God Duo coldly inquired.


    "It''s not clear. The person with that little thieving cat was covered entirely by a multicolored fog. We couldn''t find out who they were," the red-haired man frankly answered.


    "Multicolored fog? That''s the unique tool, the Illusion God!" the Devil Saint God Duo immediately cried out in alarm. Of course, they were just expressing Ancient God Nether Spring''s will.


    The Illusion God was a special concealment tool developed by the Heavenly Demon Hall. The moment one was concealed in that fog, not even Divine Sense would be of any use. Even an expert of a slightly higher level than the user would find it very difficult to see what was actually behind that mist.


    The trio didn''t know what the multicolored fog was because they were unaware of many of the research results of the Heavenly Demon Hall, but from how the Devil Saint God Duo responded, they could presume that it was an extremely unusual object.


    "Besides that, there was also the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror¡­." the red-haired man quietly said.


    "What? The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror!?" The Devil Saint God Duo''s faces contorted into expressions of rage.


    Within the secret hall, Ancient God Nether Spring was so furious that he was stamping his feet. The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror was a divine artifact of the Ancient Era. Ever since they found it in some ruins, they kept it safely in storage.


    They were planning to offer everything in the treasury to their superiors along with the Heaven''s Legacy Cat. They had even expended countless resources to awaken the Heaven''s Legacy Cat''s potential. But now, the Heaven''s Legacy Cat had run off, and they also lost the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror and the Illusion God.


    "After them! We can''t let the two of them go!" the Devil Saint God Duo bellowed.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    ¡­


    "Not good! The Devil Saint God Duo is coming!" Zhao Feng''s left eye was observing the situation behind him.


    The Devil Saint God Duo was composed of two peak Rank Eights, and they possessed the unkillable Samsara Immortal Bodies. At Zhao Feng''s current level of strength, he would be finished if those two caught him.


    "There''s someone up ahead!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    "It seems like I''ve provoked the entire Heavenly Demon Hall by entering the treasury." Zhao Feng helplessly smiled.


    This core area was clearly of utmost importance, so the Heavenly Demon Hall had dispatched many people to chase after Zhao Feng and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat. Now, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat were being attacked from two sides.


    But compared to the forces behind him, there was just one Rank Eight Ancient God up ahead.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Zhao Feng and little thieving cat continued to rapidly shoot forward, their course and speed unchanged.


    "Someone''s coming!" A middle-aged man with deer horns growing from his head was startled.


    He was just preparing to head to the eastern treasury to join up with the others and capture the intruder, but before he could even get there, he sensed a weak pulse of life rapidly approaching his location.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat suddenly appeared and immediately attacked.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" Zhao Feng punched out with his left hand, unleashing several fist-shaped balls of chaotic and gloomy energy.


    The little thieving cat swung its rune-covered dagger, slashing out several silver waves of light with unpredictable trajectories.


    Boom!


    The deer-horned middle-aged man immediately activated his Eyes of Life. Powerful Life energy erupted from his body. At the same time, countless thick vines appeared out of thin air, forming a sturdy defensive layer around him.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Zhao Feng''s and the little thieving cat''s attacks instantly annihilated this defensive layer. The remaining power of their attacks left a giant crater where the deer-horned man had been standing.


    But a moment later, a powerful Life energy appeared in that crater and allowed the man to recover. This was the powerful vitality of a Life God Eye descendant.


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" The deer-horned man immediately stared at the little thieving cat. "Why don''t you just stay here!?"


    The deer-horned man rejoiced. As long as he could keep Zhao Feng and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat here until the other experts of the Heavenly Demon Hall arrived, he would be greatly rewarded.


    "Hmph, with just you?" Zhao Feng sneered and punched with both fists. One fist of chaotic energy after another shot forward.


    "Hmph! You''re looking down on the Eye of Life too much!" The deer-horned man harrumphed in displeasure.


    Countless thick trees began to grow around him.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Zhao Feng''s attacks were incredibly powerful, instantly annihilating the trees, but just as many would pop up as soon as they were destroyed. Meanwhile, a suit of armor covered with green runes appeared on the man''s body.


    Whoosh!


    The deer-horned man charged at Zhao Feng, astonishing energy gathering up in his fist. All the Life Intent in the area began to gather within it.


    "Hmph, it''s you who''s looking down on me." Zhao Feng faintly smiled. He was already a peak Rank Seven, so ordinary Rank Eight Ancient Gods had ceased to be a match for him long ago.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Lightning began to gather in his left eye, which thrummed with Eye Intent.


    Kacrack!


    Fiery Tribulation Lightning exploded against the deer-horned man''s soul.


    Although Zhao Feng didn''t use any Origin energy, the power of the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame was still not something any ordinary Rank Eight Ancient God could endure.


    "What powerful Tribulation Lightning energy¡­!" The deer-horned man grimaced in pain.


    Wood countered Lightning, but he still felt excruciating pain from Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning eye-bloodline technique.


    "Nine Heavens Lightning power!" Meanwhile, Zhao Feng''s Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror unleashed a thick bolt of lightning.


    Brrrooom!


    The two streams of Lightning energy intersected on the deer-horned man''s body, scorching it black.


    "Impossible!" The deer-horned man had an expression of disbelief. The Heaven''s Legacy Cat hadn''t even attacked, and yet he, with his Eye of Life, was incapable of fighting against a peak Rank Seven Ancient God?


    The man hurriedly activated his Eye of Life, and that suit of armor covered in green runes emerged once more.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist! Heaven Engulfing Palm!" Zhao Feng immediately got up close to the man, using two powerful skills right in front of him.


    A gloomy fist and a spatial palm combined to collide with the man''s body.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The deer-horned man was thrown to the side, his body a mass of mangled flesh and his aura weakening.


    A normal person would have died long ago, but his Eye of Life was still supporting him, flowing with powerful Life Intent that healed his body.


    "You''re too weak," Zhao Feng flatly said, his left eye beginning to turn.


    The deer-horned was extremely unwilling to accept this, but he didn''t even have the strength to retort.


    A mighty Rank Eight Ancient God was somehow incapable of fighting against a peak Rank Seven Ancient God.


    "This is impossible!" The man''s face twisted in struggle as he muttered to himself.


    His moment of mental weakness caused Zhao Feng''s Illusion Dao eye-bloodline technique to strike true, plunging the man into an endless and illusory torture.


    "Such a weak will!" Zhao Feng sneered.


    At this moment, the deer-horned man was so deeply immersed in the world of illusion that he could not extract himself. For this reason, his Eye of Life ceased operating.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng''s left eye unleashed a distorted ball of chaotic energy. "Earthshaking Nova!"


    This gloomy ball of light engulfed the deer-horned man and then exploded.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The deer-horned man''s body was utterly annihilated by the explosion.


    "Let''s go." Slightly proud, Zhao Feng continued to flee with the little thieving cat.


    This time, the little thieving cat barely helped. Zhao Feng alone fought head-on with a Rank Eight Ancient God and killed him.

 1335 Soul Grinding Plate

    Chapter 1335 - Soul Grinding Plate


    After killing a Rank Eight Ancient God, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat continued their escape.


    As the two of them fled, they still needed to pick their route and disarm the traps. However, the Devil Saint God Duo did not have such concerns and could put their entire minds into the pursuit.


    "Caught up!" The Devil Saint God Duo savagely smiled.


    "Scoundrel, just stay there and be captured!"


    "Heaven''s Legacy Cat, hurry and come back!"


    The red-haired man and his team also arrived.


    "It really is the Illusion God." The Devil Saint God Duo stared at the ball of multicolored mist.


    Although they couldn''t see what was going on inside the mist, they could sense the cultivation of the person hidden within. Thus, they were sure that the person inside was the brat wearing the Spacetime Robe.


    Although they didn''t know how he came to be together with the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, it was fine this way. They could catch them both in one fell swoop. If the Heaven''s Legacy Cat was with Ancient God Luo Ling, that would have made the situation more problematic.


    As if sensing the Devil Saint God Duo''s eyes, the little thieving cat suddenly smiled at the Devil Saint God Duo and revealed the silver rune-covered dagger in its paw.


    "The Celestial Pendant Secret Dagger!" The eyes of the Devil Saint God Duo almost popped out of their sockets.


    Besides Ancient God Nether Spring, no one present recognized this divine artifact.


    The Celestial Pendant Secret Dagger was an imitation of the Ancient Era supreme-quality divine artifact, the Celestial Pendant Dagger, and it was created by the Heaven''s Legacy Race. The power of the imitation naturally could not compare to the real deal, but during its construction, the Heaven''s Legacy Race had added a few more abilities. This divine artifact was no longer purely offensive, but was also equipped with some special traits.


    This divine artifact was the greatest harvest from the Heavenly Demon Hall''s exploration of a certain Heaven''s Legacy Race ruin. It was even more valuable than the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror and could be considered the most valuable item in the eastern treasury.


    He couldn''t help but admire the Heaven''s Legacy Cat''s insight.


    "As long as we can capture them, each of you will obtain a portion of Heavenly God Liquid!" the Devil Saint God Duo immediately said. Of course, this was Ancient God Nether Spring''s will.


    The brat with the Spacetime Robe was rather unusual, and together with the unfathomable Heaven''s Legacy Cat, it was difficult to discount the possibility of there being some accident. This was why Ancient God Nether Spring made such a promise. As long as they could capture Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat, the value of the Heavenly God Liquid offered up would be insignificant.


    "Heavenly God Liquid!?" The three Rank Eight Ancient Gods were stunned.


    They had only heard about the Celestial Pendant Secret Dagger that the Devil Saint God Duo spoke of, but they were keenly aware of the Heavenly God Liquid''s value.


    Heavenly God Liquid was a treasure that all experts beneath Rank Nine longed for. It was rumored that, when taking the Heavenly God Liquid for the first time, one had an extremely high chance of breaking into the next rank. The lower one''s rank, the higher one''s chance. At Rank Six and below, it was a fifty percent chance, while for Rank Eight Ancient Gods, it was around a twenty percent chance.


    One had to realize that, for some True Gods and Ancient Gods, breaking into the next rank directly would save millions of years of cultivation time, even tens of millions. Although it was only a chance, even if they didn''t succeed, they would still have an increase in their strength and wouldn''t be far off from reaching the next rank with their own power.


    "Death Extreme Light!"


    "Destruction Flame God!"


    The three Rank Eight Ancient Gods activated their eye-bloodlines and attacked with long-range eye-bloodline techniques.


    "Chaos Origin Shield!" Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Chaos Origin Divine Power, forming a shield of distorted and gloomy light on his back.


    In terms of attack power, Chaos Origin Divine Power was slightly superior to the attack power of a Rank Eight Ancient God''s Divine Power. But in terms of defense, it was even more effective.


    Alas, Zhao Feng was facing God Eye descendants. The strength they had was extremely strange and abnormal.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    After taking several attacks, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Shield shattered.


    At this moment, a metal triangle appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    Clingclang!


    This triangular piece of metal instantly transformed into a black metal board that protected Zhao Feng''s back.


    The Ancient God Seal had evolved into a high-quality divine artifact. It could take on all sorts of forms, but its offensive abilities were rather average among high-quality divine artifacts. Bizarrely, the Ancient God Seal''s defensive abilities were top-class among high-quality divine artifacts, and it was almost indestructible.


    "An object developed by the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Through the eyes of the Devil Saint God Duo, Ancient God Nether Spring was able to see a few unique traits on the Ancient God Seal.


    His knowledge told him that the Ancient God Seal was extremely unusual. As for exactly what was unusual about it, he would only be able to find out after carefully researching it.


    "I have to catch that brat!" Ancient God Nether Spring partitioned off most of his mind into controlling the Devil Saint God Duo.


    Only by capturing Zhao Feng could he recover from all that had been lost. Moreover, Zhao Feng had supreme-quality divine artifacts in both the Spacetime Robe as well as the Ancient God Seal. Perhaps by the end, not only would he not be guilty of anything, he would have made a great contribution.


    At this moment:


    "Blood Demon Escape!" The red-haired man clenched his teeth and used some mysterious secret art.


    Boom!


    A bloody mist surged out of his body. His body concentrated into a drop of blood and vanished.


    This astonishing speed was equivalent to Instant Movement. However, Instant Movement required stable space and time to activate. The red-haired man''s secret art did not have the same limitations.


    "Stop!" When the red-haired man reappeared, his complexion instantly paled, but the thought of the Heavenly God Liquid made him excitedly smile.


    Bzzzz!


    The red-haired man activated his Eye of Myriad Forms, causing natural energy to surge. The area around Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat became extremely heavy, and flying through it became extremely exhausting. Afterward, a chilling energy descended. And from down below, countless vines shot up from the ground to wrap around Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    For a moment, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat were engulfed in the natural energy of Myriad Forms, and they were forced to slow down.


    "Okay!" The Devil Saint God Duo coldly smiled and hastened to catch up to Zhao Feng and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat.


    "Little thieving cat, do something!" Zhao Feng urged.


    Just a moment ago, the little thieving cat told Zhao Feng that it had a trump card that could deal with the Devil Saint God Duo. If all the opponents gathered together, this trump card would be even more effective.


    Meow!


    At this moment, a mysterious metal plate appeared in the little thieving cat''s paw.


    Zhao Feng was slightly taken aback. Was this the trump card that the little thieving cat was talking about?


    He recalled that this metal plate was one of the objects in the eastern treasury. After the little thieving cat helped Zhao Feng obtain the Illusion God, it removed this other object from the protective barrier before leaving with Zhao Feng. As for what effect the round metal plate had, Zhao Feng didn''t know.


    "The Soul Grinding Plate!" The Devil Saint God Duo stared at the round metal plate in consternation.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Devil Saint God Duo immediately came to a stop, but it was already too late. The little thieving cat had already thrown out the round plate.


    The metal plate landed in between the red-haired man and the Devil Saint God Duo.


    Bzzzz!


    A stream of light began to spin on the plate. A gray fog gushed out, spinning around as the metal plate spun. This created a dark gray tornado that engulfed everyone except Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    "This is¡­? A soul attack!" Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye discovered that the gray fog was a product of the soul.


    "Ah¡­!" The red-haired man, who was closest to Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat, began to scream.


    Meanwhile, the Devil Saint God Duo and the other Ancient Gods seemed to lose their balance, their faces twisting. The Devil Saint God Duo endured the fierce pain in their souls and slowly retreated, attempting to leave the range of the tornado.


    "The Soul Grinding Plate¡­!" In the secret hall, even Ancient God Nether Spring felt a sharp pain in his soul that originated from his connection to the souls of the Devil Saint God Duo.


    "This Heaven''s Legacy Cat¡­! To think that it would take out that item!" A cold and ruthless look appeared on Ancient God Nether Spring''s face.


    As the name implied, once this tool was activated, it would make all people in the area feel like their souls were on a grindstone, constantly being squeezed and crushed, in so much pain that death seemed preferable.


    But this tool also had many flaws. The range of the attack would only be around the tool; it could not be used for long-range attacks, and the scope of the attack wasn''t very large. In addition, this item could only be used once.


    "Damn! Such a precious tool!" Ancient God Nether Spring felt like his heart was convulsing.


    The effects of the Soul Grinding Plate quickly disappeared. Besides a peak Rank Seven Ancient God whose soul had been severely injured, everyone else was not that badly wounded.


    However, they had now lost complete track of Zhao Feng and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat.


    "They should have fled the core area," Ancient God Nether Spring pensively said.


    The two of them had already obtained a significant harvest, and they were just forced to use the Soul Grinding Plate to escape their predicament. They were probably thinking about a way to escape this place at this point. It was unreasonable for them to remain in the core region.


    For this reason, Ancient God Nether Spring ordered the Devil Saint God Duo and the others to search outside the core region.


    "Immediately report any abnormalities to me!" Ancient God Nether Spring ordered the operators in the secret hall.


    After doing all this, Ancient God Nether Spring was still uneasy. He immediately released four Samsara Immortal Bodies and ordered them to head toward the other treasuries in the core area.


    The core area had four treasuries in total.


    The eastern treasury stored divine weapons, tools, and instruments.


    The western treasury held precious resources, medicines, and pills.


    The southern treasury contained the results from the experiments on God Eye descendants.


    The northern treasury was where the automatons were stored.


    These treasuries were treated with the same level of secrecy as the secret hall, and their protective measures exceeded it. Even a Rank Nine Ancient God would be seeking death if they tried to force their way into these treasuries, so they simply didn''t need any experts to guard them. But now there was an unexpected variable: the Heaven''s Legacy Cat. Ancient God Nether Spring was forced to be cautious.


    ¡­


    In a remote chamber in the core region, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat were hiding in the Spacetime Robe.


    "Thieving cat, you still don''t want to leave?" Zhao Feng asked in confusion.


    From the path the thieving cat had taken, he could tell that the thieving cat had no intention of leaving this place.


    Meow!


    The thieving cat gestured at Zhao Feng and then gave a disdainful smile. It was clearly saying that Zhao Feng was too afraid of death.


    "So you''re saying that it''s very difficult for us to leave right now, and even if we leave the Heavenly Demon Hall, we''ll immediately be targeted by all those people fighting outside. Thus, remaining here is actually safer¡­" Zhao Feng roughly understood what the little thieving cat was trying to say.


    Outside, the experts of the Heavenly Demon Hall were in the middle of a fierce battle with the Spacetime Sacred Land''s Ancient God Scarlet Firmament. If Zhao Feng went out at this time, he would just be seeking his own death.


    But remaining in the core area also felt a little inappropriate.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat continued to gesture, and then it proceeded to ignore Zhao Feng and focus on refining the Celestial Pendant Secret Dagger.


    Zhao Feng understood the little thieving cat''s meaning and began to refine the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    Three days passed inside the Spacetime Robe. Zhao Feng reached seventy percent in his refinement of the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    At this moment, the little thieving cat jumped out of the Spacetime Robe. Zhao Feng understood that it was time to move out.


    After flying along with the little thieving cat for a little while, Zhao Feng spotted a palace made of blue crystal.


    "Another treasury!?" Zhao Feng froze in shock as he blurted out.


    There was still a second treasury. No wonder the little thieving cat, after gaining so much, was still unwilling to leave!

 1336 Entering Another Treasury

    Chapter 1336 - Entering Another Treasury


    "Another treasury!?" Zhao Feng froze in shock as he blurted out.


    He and the little thieving cat had already obtained far too many good things from the first treasury. It was difficult to imagine that there was a second one of these treasuries. It was no wonder that the little thieving cat, after already gaining so much, was still choosing to stay in this dangerous area.


    "But they must have taken some countermeasures." Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    He and the little thieving cat had already plundered one treasury. Even if the Heavenly Demon Hall was lacking in manpower at the moment, they must''ve added some additional security.


    Zhao Feng activated his left eye and peered through the crystal palace.


    "Someone''s there." Zhao Feng quickly got a view of what was inside the blue crystal palace and spotted a single figure.


    "Just a Rank Seven Ancient God? It seems like the Heavenly Demon Hall is short on men and only dispatched someone here to keep watch," Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    A treasury could not be casually walked into. Even with the little thieving cat''s help, getting into one still took some time. For this reason, the Heavenly Demon Hall only sent a person to keep watch. The moment anything strange occurred, the watcher would immediately send a warning.


    With this, even if Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat successfully got in, they wouldn''t have much time to remove any treasures before the other members of the Heavenly Demon Hall came to surround and stop them.


    Zhao Feng explained the situation to the little thieving cat.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat was still unwilling to leave and began to discuss countermeasures with Zhao Feng.


    In the end, the little thieving cat advised Zhao Feng to first copy down all the arrays and traps of the place so that it could analyze how to undo them ahead of time. In this way, they would be able to quickly undo the traps, take some treasures, and get away before the other members of the Heavenly Demon Hall arrived.


    Zhao Feng thought it over. This was still a rather dangerous venture, but the chances of success were also rather high. In addition, with his eye just now, he clearly saw the treasures within the crystal palace and was tempted.


    "Inside are extinct cultivation resources that the Heavenly Demon Hall gathered, and there are also many medicines and pills¡­." Zhao Feng appeared rather excited.


    In his view, these medicines and pills had probably been developed by the Heaven''s Legacy Race before being slowly gathered up by the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall. The medicines developed by the Heaven''s Legacy Race were almost definitely extremely precious and would have miraculous effects.


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat remained hidden in the area around the crystal palace. It only took a little while for Zhao Feng to copy down every detail of the blue crystal palace''s structure. The rest was for the little thieving cat to handle.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe to continue refining the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    Right when he reached eighty percent refinement of the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror:


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat suddenly jumped in front of Zhao Feng and meowed.


    "Then let''s move out!" Zhao Feng naturally understood what the little thieving cat meant. He ceased refining the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror and left the Spacetime Robe.


    Whoosh!


    The little thieving cat jumped up to the blue crystal palace. It became two, two became four¡­


    In the end, eight figures of the little thieving cat began to rummage around the blue crystal palace. It took only five seconds for all the mechanisms and arrays around the palace to be undone.


    ¡­


    In the secret hall, Ancient God Nether Spring had a gloomy expression.


    "Has there still been nothing!?" Ancient God Nether Spring roared.


    Ever since Zhao Feng and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat escaped from the Devil Saint God Duo, not a single trace of them had been found, and just a few moments ago, Ancient God Luo Ling smoothly threw off their pursuit.


    "No¡­ yes!" The elder operating all the surveillance equipment of the Heavenly Demon Hall was startled.


    "Yes, yes, yes, here¡­!" the blue-haired elder anxiously said.


    But before he could give the exact location, Ancient God Nether Spring interrupted him; "The western treasury! They never left the core area!"


    Ancient God Nether Spring''s face became even gloomier.


    He had earlier determined that Zhao Feng and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat fled the core area, content with their spoils, to find an opportunity to escape. To his surprise, they had remained in hiding within the core area, placing their sights on a second treasury.


    "Outrageous!" Ancient God Nether Spring furiously roared. That intruder and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat were audacious to the extreme!


    The western treasury stored many long-extinct and legendary cultivation resources. These cultivation resources were practically priceless. Not even they dared to randomly touch them for fear of wasting them.


    Other than that, there were also many medicines developed by the Heaven''s Legacy Race that they had gathered as well as some important experiment results of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    The first treasury had been robbed because they were caught off guard, leaving open a gap for Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat to exploit. But if a second treasury was robbed, they would become laughingstocks.


    "Return to the core area ¨C the western treasury!" Ancient God Nether Spring immediately took control of the Devil Saint God Duo and led the other members in swiftly returning to the core area.


    In the outer zone of the Heavenly Demon Hall, in a room piled high with corpses, a faint spatial ripple emerged from a dark corner of the room.


    "Damn! That Samsara God Eye descendant actually possesses such a powerful Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body!" Ancient God Luo Ling was a little pale as she swallowed some pills.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The Samsara Immortal Body with the human body and dragon head was a Thunderflame Ancient Dragon, ranked 43rd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. If Ancient God Luo Ling hadn''t sufficiently prepared herself before beginning this operation, she would have long ago died while being pursued by that Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body.


    "I still need to go back to the core area!" Ancient God Luo Ling clenched her silver teeth.


    She had still not confirmed if her little brother was dead or alive, but even if there was no chance of saving her little brother, she still had to dig up the secrets of this faction. The longer she stayed here, the more she sensed how unusual this faction was. It was definitely hiding some astonishing secret.


    "That kid is probably dead by now." Ancient God Luo Ling couldn''t help but think back to Zhao Feng.


    Even someone of her own strength had nearly died, and that mysterious person who worked with her was only a peak Rank Seven. He had probably been captured by the Heavenly Demon Hall long ago.


    ¡­


    "Hurry!" Zhao Feng growled.


    The moment all the traps and arrays were disarmed, he and little thieving cat charged in.


    Suddenly, a powerful ripple of Divine Power appeared at Zhao Feng''s side as a dazzling golden fist of divine might rushed at Zhao Feng.


    "Tyrant God Fist!" a muscular man with light gold skin roared.


    "Did you think I didn''t know where you were hiding?" Zhao Feng sneered.


    This blue crystal palace could block out Divine Sense, but it could not block the see-through ability of his God''s Spiritual Eye. Zhao Feng clearly saw that this Rank Seven Ancient God was hiding to the side, prepared to ambush him.


    Clingclang!


    A shield of black metal appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, another of the Ancient God Seal''s transformations. This golden-skinned man could do nothing against the defensive power of the Ancient God Seal.


    "Gaze of the God Eye!" Zhao Feng unleashed a powerful eye-bloodline technique.


    His eye of dreamy silver seemed to become an abyss that sucked in souls.


    Whoosh!


    A part of the golden-skinned man''s soul was immediately pulled out. After all, Zhao Feng had already reached the level of a Rank Eight Ancient God in terms of his soul. This ordinary Rank Seven Samsara Immortal Body was incapable of resisting him.


    But at this moment, a powerful and shadowy Soul Intent appeared in this man''s soul. There was no need to guess; this was definitely the Soul Intent that Ancient God Nether Spring had sent over.


    "You brat! You actually dared to stick around!? Then just wait for your death!" a venomous voice came out of the golden-skinned man''s mouth.


    Ancient God Nether Spring had dispatched this Rank Seven Ancient God to keep a watch on the western treasury. At the slightest sign of activity, Ancient God Nether Spring would immediately know so that he could begin mobilizing his men before the Heaven''s Legacy Cat entered the treasury.


    However, the Heaven''s Legacy Cat and Zhao Feng had undone the traps and arrays far too quickly. Thus, Ancient God Nether Spring could only send over his own strength in the hopes that this Samsara Immortal Body could obstruct Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    "Hmph! You can''t stop me!" Zhao Feng snorted, and his God Eye erupted with Origin energy.


    In a flash, the Gaze of the God Eye''s power increased.


    "Scoundrel! You''re seeking death!" Ancient God Nether Spring angrily roared through the Samsara Immortal Body.


    Ancient God Nether Spring discovered that, even after sending over his strength, the Samsara Immortal Body was still not able to resist Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique.


    "Damn! This Samsara Immortal Body''s soul is too weak! It can''t endure too much of my power!" Ancient God Nether Spring angrily cursed.


    He wanted to send more power to the Samsara Immortal Body so that it could contend against Zhao Feng, but alas, the Samsara Immortal Body was too weak to receive much more of his power.


    "This Soul eye-bloodline technique of his could even threaten a Rank Eight Ancient God¡­." Ancient God Nether Spring''s eyes became grim.


    Suddenly, the connection between Ancient God Nether Spring and the Samsara Immortal Body became extremely weak. The only thing he could sense was that it was still alive.


    Inside the western treasury, the Samsara Immortal Body''s soul was sucked into Zhao Feng''s God Eye Dimension. Zhao Feng mobilized his Soul Intent to wrap up this soul so that it couldn''t see anything while it was inside the God Eye Dimension.


    "Let''s move!"


    After dealing with the Samsara Immortal Body, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat immediately got to work.


    This area had a similar structure to the first treasury. There were four metal frames, and each object on these frames had its own protective barrier.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two charged at separate balls of light. Because time was short, while they were analyzing how to undo the traps and arrays, they also decided on their targets.


    Zhao Feng took out the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, circulated his Lightning Intent and Lightning energy, and activated the mirror.


    Boom! Hisss!


    A massive bolt of white lightning condensed into a slender snake and began to ram itself against a protective barrier.


    The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror was a supreme-quality divine artifact and had already been eighty percent refined by Zhao Feng. The attacks he could use with it now were far stronger than those from high-quality offensive divine artifacts. Moreover, the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror unleashed extremely powerful lightning-type attacks.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    After three attacks, the protective barrier shattered. Zhao Feng removed a bright pill from within, its surface covered in silver patterns.


    The little thieving cat was the one who decided on the targets of their heist. Zhao Feng had no idea what this pill could do, but since the little thieving cat was a Heaven''s Legacy Cat, it definitely understood the objects belonging to the Heaven''s Legacy Race. For this reason, Zhao Feng trusted in the little thieving cat''s judgment.


    After seizing this pill, Zhao Feng immediately charged toward the next target.

 1337 Dragons Reverse Scale

    Chapter 1337 - Dragon''s Reverse Scale


    The Devil Saint God Duo were leading several experts from the outer area back to the core area.


    "Damn! That brat was actually still in the core area¡­!" The Devil Saint God Duo were infuriated.


    Although they were under the control of Ancient God Nether Spring, their bodies still had their own wills.


    Their earlier loss to the Spacetime Sacred Land Ancient God Luo Ling was understandable, but if they couldn''t even capture a single peak Rank Seven junior, they would truly be humiliated.


    "What are they hanging around in the core area for?" The red-haired man was astonished.


    If it were him, after getting such a haul, he would have definitely left the core area and begun seeking a chance to escape the Heavenly Demon Hall. He didn''t know if that brat and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat were stupid or just ignorant for daring to remain in the core area.


    "They''ve entered the western treasury," the Devil Saint God Duo directly said. This was also their destination.


    "What!?" The red-haired man was so stunned that he couldn''t speak.


    He had heard many rumors about the objects in the western treasury. Apparently, that was where the Heavenly God Liquid was stored. Other than that, there were other wondrous pills, medicines, and cultivation resources that were just as valuable.


    One could say that the western treasury was the treasury that all members of the Heavenly Demon Hall wanted to enter the most. However, ordinary members simply weren''t permitted to enter the treasuries of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    It was just that there was an unexpected variable this time ¨C the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!


    "If that brat and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat are captured, all of you will receive 5000 contribution points in addition to a portion of Heavenly God Liquid!" the Devil Saint God Duo declared.


    Of course, this was an order that Ancient God Nether Spring had given. This time, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat had truly enraged Ancient God Nether Spring.


    "What? 5000 contribution points and Heavenly God Liquid!?"


    "We have to capture those two!"


    ¡­


    In the blue crystal palace, after obtaining the silver pill, Zhao Feng placed his focus on his next target, which was a light blue glass bottle full of a white crystalline liquid.


    "Nine Heavens Lightning power!" Zhao Feng used his Tribulation Lightning power and Lightning Intent to activate the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    Boom! Hisss!


    The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror exuded dreadful Lightning power that seemed to engulf the entire room in a net of lightning. Three dragons of lightning quickly condensed within the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    These three dragons of crystalline lightning tightly wrapped themselves around the protective barrier and unleashed all their power.


    Hissss!


    The protective barrier shook and shuddered under the impact of the electricity and energy.


    "Break!" Zhao Feng poured immense quantities of Divine Power into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    The three lightning dragons that were nearly drained of energy once more began to crackle with electricity.


    Cling! Crack!


    At this moment, the protective barrier finally shattered.


    "Collect!" With a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng took the blue glass battle into his interspatial dimension.


    Zhao Feng headed for his third target. This was a crystal ball that contained a somewhat damaged black scale.


    "The last item!"


    Zhao Feng immediately activated the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror to destroy the protective barrier.


    After discussing things with the little thieving cat, the two had decided that they would each get three items and then leave. If the Heavenly Demon Hall members arrived by then, their only choice would be to try and break through again. If they hadn''t arrived by then, they would find a place to hide and wait for a chance to escape.


    Boom! Bang!


    The protective barrier suddenly shattered, allowing him to scoop up the third item.


    But on the other side, the little thieving cat seemed to be thinking that Zhao Feng was too slow. After taking a third item, it had moved on to a fourth.


    At this time, Zhao Feng really wanted to say that the little thieving cat couldn''t be trusted.


    "They''re so slow. Let''s go!"


    Zhao Feng had the see-through ability of his God''s Spiritual Eye and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat had its tricks. This allowed the little thieving cat to first understand how all the arrays and traps could be disarmed so that the entire process was carried out extremely swiftly.


    This bought them a large period of time, so much time that even after they finished stealing several items and were ready to leave, the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall had still not arrived.


    Just a little while after Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat left, a terrifying wave of energy approached.


    "Hurry!" the Devil Saint God Duo growled as they rushed over with several Ancient Gods.


    However, there was no one inside the treasury, only some treasures that all of them longed for.


    "What happened? We came so quickly¡­."


    "That''s Nine Dragon Pearl Liquid, Heavenly Mandate Pill¡­!"


    ¡­


    In the secret hall, Ancient God Nether Spring''s body was seething with an extremely sinister aura.


    "These two scoundrels¡­!" Ancient God Nether Spring''s eyes were cold as he squeezed out these words from his mouth.


    "Elder, calm your anger!"


    "They have still not left the Heavenly Demon Hall!"


    The surrounding operators all trembled with fear as they urged.


    "I''d like to see where they can hide!" Ancient God Nether Spring roared at the ceiling.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    His gloomy eyes exploded with clouds of sinister dark yellow fog. One black figure after another charged out of the viscous mist. Each of these figures possessed a formidable aura. The strongest was a Rank Seven Ancient God while the weakest was peak Rank Six.


    Once these Samsara Immortal Bodies emerged, they all floated in the hall.


    "Drag them out of hiding!" Ancient God Nether Spring ordered.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All the Samsara Immortal Bodies departed the secret hall.


    At the same time, Ancient God Nether Spring divided his mind into many strands, placing one in each of his Samsara Immortal Bodies. Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat were skilled in concealment, so even if these low-level Samsara Immortal Bodies got close to their hiding spot, they probably wouldn''t be able to sense them. Thus, Ancient God Nether Spring needed to control each of these Samsara Immortal Bodies and even transfer some of his soul energy to them.


    "It''s impossible for you to escape!" Ancient God Nether Spring coldly snorted. He placed all his focus on the Samsara Immortal Bodies and began to comb the area.


    ¡­


    After robbing the western treasury, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat left the core area. Not long later, they randomly chose a secret chamber to enter.


    "Let''s stay here."


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat planned to hide in this room.


    The Heavenly Demon Hall was still battling with the group from the Spacetime Sacred Land. The Heavenly Demon Hall had undoubtedly activated its defensive array, and even a Rank Nine Ancient God would find it difficult to break. If Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat carelessly showed themselves, they might end up being targeted by everyone.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat entered the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    "Little thieving cat, what are these three items for?" Zhao Feng immediately took out the three objects he obtained from the western treasury.


    There were actually a few items that Zhao Feng recognized in the western treasury, but Zhao Feng followed the plan and only took these three things. He trusted in the little thieving cat''s judgment. There had to be something unusual about these three items.


    But before the little thieving cat could even say anything, the cultivating Black Destruction Serpent Dragon suddenly flew over, excitedly looking at the damaged black scale inside the crystal ball.


    "Master, how did you get something like this?" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately asked.


    "Mm?" Zhao Feng was surprised. It appeared that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon knew what this black scale was.


    "Master, I can sense the aura of the true Destruction Dragon Race from this black scale!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon excitedly said.


    It only had an extremely thin Destruction Dragon Race bloodline. Its actual body was that of an ordinary serpent dragon, very far away from true dragons.


    If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wanted to evolve, it had to do so through two aspects: its bloodline and its body. This Destruction Dragon Race scale could not only advance its bloodline, it could also allow its body to evolve.


    Of course, an ordinary scale could not possibly have such an effect, but the scale in Zhao Feng''s hand was a dragon''s reverse scale, the most precious scale for a Destruction Dragon. It was stained with a great deal of the Destruction Dragon Race''s bloodline energy. This was a treasure that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had only ever dreamed of.


    It would have been even better if this scale was not damaged.


    "Master, if you can give me this object, I am willing to serve as your mount for eternity and carry out your orders instantly¡­!"


    At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was willing to throw itself at Zhao Feng''s feet.


    Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had a sliver of the Destruction Dragon Race bloodline, it was very hard to advance this bloodline. Only the energy obtained through mass destruction could bring about any progress.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s natural talents were also lacking. Unless it encountered some enormous opportunity, the highest it could reach was Rank Nine. Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    This Destruction Dragon Race reverse scale gave it a chance of changing its destiny.


    "Mm. You are a little too weak right now," Zhao Feng casually said.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon lowered its head in silence. It had never expected for its master to progress with such divine speed, needing only a few decades to surpass its peak strength.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon currently felt sincere loyalty for Zhao Feng.


    "I don''t have any use for this thing, so there''s no harm in giving it to you," Zhao Feng frankly said.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s bloodline was still very terrifying. If it was nurtured well, it would be of enormous help to him.


    "Many thanks, Master! Then¡­" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon glanced at the reverse scale.


    "Wait a while."


    Zhao Feng immediately put the scale into his God Eye Dimension.


    Even though it was a reverse scale, it was just one and was also damaged. If he duplicated it a few times, the effect would probably be greater.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat appeared in front of the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and patted its chest, appearing very proud.


    "Brother Cat, so it was you that had Master take this treasure¡­." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately put on a fawning expression and began to flatter the little thieving cat.


    It clearly remembered that, when the little thieving cat had finished evolving a while back, it exuded a powerful ancient bloodline that made even its Destruction Dragon Race bloodline tremble in fear. Now that the little thieving cat had been rescued, it apparently experienced another massive transformation that made the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon even more incapable of seeing through it.


    "Brother Cat, in the past, I was ignorant. In the future, I will follow you. If something good comes along, please don''t forget me¡­." The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon felt deep admiration for the little thieving cat''s methods, particularly its ability to find treasure.


    Just like that, the mighty Black Destruction Serpent Dragon became the little thieving cat''s little brother.


    Zhao Feng speechlessly glanced at his pet and mount.


    Suddenly, his face flickered.


    "Someone is coming. How did they find me so quickly?"


    Within the Spacetime Robe Dimension, Zhao Feng didn''t need to particularly focus to sense nearby spatial ripples.


    He activated his left eye''s see-through ability.


    "So it was her." Zhao Feng''s expression relaxed.

 1338 Surround and Kill

    Chapter 1338 - Surround and Kill


    As Ancient God Luo Ling was approaching a certain area, she suddenly sensed a spatial disturbance. She flew into the room where Zhao Feng was hidden, her eyes coldly staring at an empty part of the room, but she did not take any reckless actions.


    At this moment, a ball of multicolored mist flew out.


    "Who are you?" Ancient God Luo Ling''s eyes dimmed. No matter how hard she stared at the ball of mist, she couldn''t see what was going on inside.


    The only reason she hadn''t struck yet was because she sensed that the person hiding inside the mist could not possibly be a member of the Heavenly Demon Hall. If this person didn''t belong to the Heavenly Demon Hall, they could only be another intruder.


    "We worked together not too long ago. Have you already forgotten me?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    "It''s you?" Ancient God Luo Ling''s eyes froze, clearly given no small shock.


    In her view, someone of Zhao Feng''s strength should have been executed by the Heavenly Demon Hall long ago. But apparently, Zhao Feng survived, and it seemed like he had quite a few lucky encounters.


    An example was the multicolored mist surrounding Zhao Feng, a technique that she could not see through. Ancient God Luo Ling was sure that Zhao Feng had obtained it from the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    "I advise you to look for a chance to leave and not approach the core area," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    He knew Ancient God Luo Ling''s goal, and given the direction Ancient God Luo Ling was heading a moment ago, he conjectured that Ancient God Luo Ling was preparing to head to the core area.


    Earlier, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat robbed two of the core area''s treasuries. This completely enraged the Heavenly Demon Hall, so the core area was now the most dangerous place in the Heavenly Demon Hall. Even Ancient God Luo Ling had zero chance of survival if she ventured inside.


    Although Zhao Feng didn''t have much of a relationship with this woman, he owed much of his success in saving the little thieving cat to her. For this reason, if he could help Ancient God Luo Ling, he would naturally do so.


    Ancient God Luo Ling thought for a moment. She understood how dangerous it was to enter the core area again.


    At this moment:


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat flew out of the Spacetime Robe Dimension, its lively and deep eyes staring at Ancient God Luo Ling.


    "Cat¡­?" Ancient God Luo Ling glanced at the little thieving cat. This cat gave her an extremely strange feeling.


    Suddenly, she remembered that Zhao Feng once said to her that he had infiltrated the Heavenly Demon Hall to save his pet. At the time, she believed that Zhao Feng was just unwilling to tell the truth and made up a story, but it seemed like it was actually true.


    "You saved your cat?" Ancient God Luo Ling straightforwardly asked.


    "Thanks for your help!" Zhao Feng gratefully said.


    "I''ll leave first." After saying this, Ancient God Luo Ling turned and left.


    Although her expression was cold and emotionless, Ancient God Luo Ling had suffered a rather large mental blow.


    She once worked with Zhao Feng, but they had their own goals. Zhao Feng had already achieved his goal and saved his pet, but Ancient God Luo Ling had made no progress in her own objective.


    Ancient God Luo Ling''s proud heart was beaten down, and she felt slightly dissatisfied. Why was it that a peak Rank Seven Ancient God was able to do something that a peak Rank Eight like her couldn''t?


    She originally planned to heed Zhao Feng''s advice, but now, she decided to try again.


    Seeing Ancient God Luo Ling''s demeanor, Zhao Feng knew that anything else he said would be pointless. He had already warned her, so if Ancient God Luo Ling wouldn''t listen and continued to place herself in danger, he couldn''t be blamed.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat returned to the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    He had achieved his objective and obtained many treasures and information in the process. Zhao Feng only needed to wait for the right time to make his escape.


    "Little thieving cat, what can these other two items be used for?" Zhao Feng took out the other two objects: the pill covered in silver patterns and the bottle filled with white liquid.


    Although they could both be directly consumed, Zhao Feng didn''t dare to mess around until he knew what they did.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat jumped forward and took the blue glass bottle with white liquid from Zhao Feng''s hand. It opened the bottle and began to suck in the liquid


    Whoosh!


    In a flash, the white crystalline liquid in the blue bottle rushed out and flew into the little thieving cat''s mouth.


    "Thieving cat, hurry up and talk!" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    From the situation, the liquid stored inside the glass battle was very helpful to the little thieving cat.


    He had taken three items in all. The Destruction Dragon Race reverse scale was useless to him, and that white crystalline liquid also seemed to be of no help. The only thing left for him was the pill.


    At this moment, the little thieving cat stopped taking in the liquid.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat returned the glass bottle to Zhao Feng, made some gestures, and then jumped to the side and began cultivating.


    "Heavenly God Liquid, a treasure that helps one break into the next rank!?" After understanding the little thieving cat''s message, Zhao Feng was stunned.


    From the little thieving cat''s description, the Heavenly God Liquid was a treasure that every expert below Rank Nine longed for.


    This was because every expert that took the Heavenly God Liquid for the first time had a very high chance of directly breaking through into the next rank. The lower one''s rank, the higher one''s chance. At Rank Six and below, it was a fifty percent chance, while for Rank Eight Ancient Gods, it was around a twenty percent chance.


    "What a high-level cultivation treasure!" Zhao Feng was surprised and also rather elated.


    He had many clones and subordinates, but none of them were able to keep up with him. This Heavenly God Liquid was unquestionably the best way to quickly increase the strength of his clones and subordinates.


    "Based on the amount the little thieving cat consumed, the remaining Heavenly God Liquid is enough for five people to use¡­." Zhao Feng inspected the Heavenly God Liquid with his left eye.


    He had three clones and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. This was enough for each of them to get a portion.


    However, Zhao Feng had the God''s Spiritual Eye, which was equipped with the ability to duplicate such treasures, so he really wasn''t worried about there not being enough.


    "The higher one''s cultivation, the lower the chance of breaking through after consuming the Heavenly God Liquid. If I wait until I''m Rank Eight to take it, I''ll probably fail, so I should just take it now and break into Rank Eight so I can deal with any problems that might crop up."


    In the end, Zhao Feng decided to use the Heavenly God Liquid to break into Rank Eight.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng blinked to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s side.


    "Little Black, this is a treasure that has a certain chance of letting you break into the next rank." With a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng removed a portion of liquid from the glass bottle and gave it to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "What?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was stunned and apparently didn''t quite believe his words.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    The Destruction Dragon Race reverse scale was already a rather large opportunity for it, but after only a little time had passed, its master came over and gifted it a treasure that had a chance of making it break directly into the next rank?


    It felt like it was all a dream. Although it didn''t quite believe it, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon did not dare to defy Zhao Feng''s will and consumed the white crystalline liquid.


    After having the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon take its portion, Zhao Feng had Zhao Wang and Zhao Hui take their own portions. Zhao Wan was still in the Ancient Dream Realm, so there was no need to rush giving it to him.


    "Whether one can break through depends on luck!" Zhao Feng muttered as he took his own portion.


    He instantly felt a pure stream of energy running through his body, spreading through his organs and veins, seeping into his marrow, even affecting his soul.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng felt like his entire body was improving. Everything about him was being altered and modified by a wondrous energy.


    Of course, the greatest part of the Heavenly God Liquid''s energy gathered in his Divine Stages.


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Divine Power and began to construct his eighth Divine Stage. The frame of the eighth Divine Stage quickly took form, and Zhao Feng began to pour the energy of the Heavenly God Liquid into it.


    ¡­


    All was quiet in the Spacetime Robe Dimension. The little thieving cat, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Feng, and his two clones had all taken the Heavenly God Liquid. At this moment, they were all using the medicinal effect of the Heavenly God Liquid to charge at the next rank of cultivation. However, the Heavenly God Liquid''s medicinal effect only conferred a fixed chance of success. A breakthrough still depended on luck.


    At this moment, in the outside world, a Rank Seven Samsara Immortal Body floated past the room.


    Although Zhao Feng was cultivating, he still noticed this movement. But this Samsara Immortal Body barely stopped before passing by, so Zhao Feng didn''t put too much attention on it.


    ¡­


    In the core area''s secret hall, Ancient God Nether Spring''s eyes flashed.


    "Something strange!" Ancient God Nether Spring lightly said.


    His mind was completely focused on his Samsara Immortal Bodies as they carefully searched the Heavenly Demon Hall. Just now, he finally found a suspicious area.


    "Milord, what''s the situation?" an operator immediately asked.


    "It''s still not clear. Keep a close eye on that area for me!" Ancient God Nether Spring said, and then his body surged with Divine Power. This surge of Divine Power came to the operator''s screen and circled a certain area.


    Although Ancient God Nether Spring wasn''t sure, he also couldn''t rule it out. Rather than acting rashly and alerting the enemy, when he noticed something strange, he immediately ordered the Samsara Immortal Body to leave.


    "All of you, get over there as quickly as possible, but don''t get too close. We don''t want to alert them¡­." Ancient God Nether Spring ordered the Devil Saint God Duo and some others.


    He could not be sure if the person hiding in that suspicious area was Zhao Feng, the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, or Ancient God Luo Ling, but no matter which one it was, if he moved in, he was determined not to fail.


    ¡­


    "There''s been a development!"


    The Devil Saint God Duo received Ancient God Nether Spring''s message. A map appeared in their minds, indicating their destination.


    "I hope it''s that brat and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!"


    The two immediately left. They hated Zhao Feng even more than they hated Ancient God Luo Ling. Besides, Zhao Feng was easier to deal with.


    In a certain cultivation chamber, a red-haired man was currently inspecting things.


    "Mm?" The red-haired man suddenly took out a message token.


    "Something''s been found!"


    The red-haired man left, an expression of delight on his face.


    "I hope it''s that Heaven''s Legacy Cat and that brat. If it is, then the Heavenly God Liquid and contribution points will be mine!"


    The red-haired man was overjoyed. After receiving the message, he set off at his fastest speed toward the marked location. At the same time, he sent a message to the other searchers.


    In the outer area of the Heavenly Demon Hall, a tall and large figure was blinking through the corridors. It had a human body and a dragon head, and its back bore dragon wings and a large tail. It exuded a dreadful energy that could intimidate the heavens.


    This was the Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body belonging to Ancient God Nether Spring, an expert of the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon Race.


    It suddenly paused, and then it changed directions and quickly blinked away.

 1339 Donst Flee, Counterattack

    Chapter 1339 - Don''t Flee, Counterattack


    There were nine Divine Stages, each representing a rank. The formation of each Divine Stage consumed all the reserves accumulated in the previous rank.


    Zhao Feng had spent very little time as a Rank Seven Ancient God, but he had consumed countless precious resources in this period and participated in numerous battles. Moreover, Zhao Feng cultivated the high-level and extremely stable top-class divine-level technique that was the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique. For these reasons, Zhao Feng had more than enough reserves for this endeavor.


    Because he was attempting to break into Rank Eight in secret, Zhao Feng completely locked down the Spacetime Robe, making it so that the heavenly phenomena would not appear in the outside world. However, this also meant that Zhao Feng was unable to absorb much Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.


    Fortunately, Zhao Feng was ready with piles of cultivation resources.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    He began to take out numerous resources suitable for breaking into the next rank and began to absorb their energy.


    "Soon¡­!" Zhao Feng was ecstatic.


    His eighth Divine Stage was already eighty percent complete.


    As he was forming his Divine Stage, Zhao Feng could clearly sense his Divine Power evolving, becoming even more refined and impregnable. His Soul Intent was also advancing, slowly rising until it far exceeded the Soul Intent of ordinary Rank Eight Ancient Gods.


    At a certain moment, Zhao Feng''s body exploded with divine radiance that illuminated the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    "Broke through!" Zhao Feng opened his bright eyes and spat out a ball of turbid breath.


    His greatest improvement in advancing to Rank Eight was in Divine Power, while second to that were his Soul Intent and Divine Body.


    Clingclang!


    Next to Zhao Feng, the little thieving cat threw out several bronze coins and then curled up into a ball.


    "Inauspicious omen?" Zhao Feng''s face froze. Was him breaking into Rank Eight actually a bad thing?


    "Something''s wrong!" Zhao Feng''s face grimaced as his left eye unleashed astonishing pulses of Eye Intent.


    A moment later, his gaze pierced through the Spacetime Robe Dimension and through several layers of walls, focusing on a distant area.


    "Someone is hiding nearby?" Zhao Feng''s eyes swept his surroundings and ultimately discovered two people. One was a Rank Seven Samsara Immortal Body while the other was a Rank Eight Ancient God.


    For members of the Heavenly Demon Hall to appear in his surroundings wasn''t strange. What was strange was that these two people were intentionally hiding.


    "It seems like my location has been exposed!" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened as he stood up.


    At present, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Wang, and Zhao Hui were still trying to break through. After all, unlike them, Zhao Feng had started his breakthrough from the peak of his rank. Meanwhile, Zhao Wang had just reached Rank Six and Zhao Hui had just reached Rank Three, so they would take much longer to break through.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng appeared in the air, wearing the Spacetime Robe. Covered by the Illusion God, he began to rapidly move. He used the concealment technique he had learned from Ancient God Luo Ling, so he created extremely small spatial ripples. Those of the same rank would find him almost impossible to perceive.


    But suddenly, a spatial barrier appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    "Oh no!" Zhao Feng grimaced once more.


    He was originally planning to escape without making any ruckus, but he had not expected for his opponent to have erected barriers around him. Spatial barriers could defend and hinder, but they could also serve as warnings.


    "I just have to push through!" Zhao Feng''s expression sank.


    If he wanted to leave, he had to get through this spatial barrier. If he did this, he would expose his location, but he had no other choice. His enemies were in hiding and had erected spatial barriers probably because they wanted to wait until everyone arrived so they could surround and kill Zhao Feng. Thus, he had to break out now.


    Although he decided to break out, Zhao Feng did not immediately take action. In any case, breaking through this spatial barrier would reveal his location, so it was far better to kill someone before leaving and save himself some trouble.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng traveled through the limited area for a while.


    "It''s you then." Zhao Feng''s eyes pierced through several walls to settle on a Rank Seven Samsara Immortal Body.


    Swish!


    Space began to blur around Zhao Feng. A moment later, he blinked away through a spatial barrier to appear in front of the Rank Seven Ancient God.


    "Who''s there?"


    The Rank Seven Ancient God was one of Ancient God Nether Spring''s Samsara Immortal Bodies, and it also had a strand of Ancient God Nether Spring''s soul, so it was extremely sensitive to danger. It reacted the moment Zhao Feng used Spatial Blink.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng stared at the Rank Seven Ancient God, his left eye surging with frenzied ripples of Eye Intent.


    Kacrack!


    A dreamy bolt of lightning exploded on the Rank Seven Ancient God. Terrifying Tribulation Lightning energy tore through its soul and pulverized it.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted before fleeing.


    ¡­


    Back in the core secret hall:


    "Hisss!" Ancient God Nether Spring gasped in pain.


    A strand of his soul was attached to another soul. This soul came under attack, and he was somewhat affected by it.


    Ancient God Nether Spring never expected for Zhao Feng''s soul attacks to be so powerful. The strength it explosively unleashed instantly killed the soul of a Rank Seven Ancient God. Otherwise, Ancient God Nether Spring would have been able to send strength to his Samsara Immortal Body so that it could last a little longer.


    "Hmph! After stealing some Heavenly God Liquid, he''s broken into Rank Eight!" Ancient God Nether Spring''s expression was grim and angry.


    Although it was only for a moment, he sensed Zhao Feng''s true cultivation level.


    "This brat can''t be left alive!" Ancient God Nether Spring grumbled.


    "Elder, our people are extremely close to the area. He can''t escape!" A blue-haired operator gave a sinister laugh.


    It had already been some time since Zhao Feng''s hiding spot was discovered. Although there were only two people nearby, there were plenty of people approaching the target zone.


    "Mm. My Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body is a little far, but he shouldn''t be needed." Ancient God Nether Spring coldly laughed.


    If Ancient God Luo Ling was the one hiding there, then they would only have a chance of victory if his Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body participated. But if it was just Zhao Feng, even if he had recently broken into Rank Eight, it was still only Rank Eight. He would probably be captured or killed before his Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body could even arrive.


    ¡­


    "Not good! Someone''s here!" The fleeing Zhao Feng suddenly sensed that a Rank Eight Ancient God was rapidly approaching. If he didn''t change course, the two would run into each other.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng could only change his route and continue his flight.


    However, he fled for only a few seconds before sensing yet another figure.


    "My location has been completely exposed. All the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall''s search team are gathering here." Zhao Feng suddenly stopped, his eyes calm and composed.


    With his location already confirmed, he would find it very difficult to escape.


    "Since that''s the case, I''ll just kill a few of them!" Zhao Feng''s eyes gleamed with ruthless light.


    If everyone gathered, Zhao Feng would find it hard to singlehandedly hold them all off. Thus, it was better to kill off some of them to reduce the pressure when the rest of them gathered.


    "Kill!" After making his decision, Zhao Feng gave up on running.


    Swish!


    He suddenly began to charge at an approaching Rank Eight Ancient God.


    "There''s a development!" A snakeman covered in blue scales knew from his message token that Zhao Feng was running in his direction. He could also sense spatial ripples and a killing intent targeted at him.


    "Why would I be afraid of him? He''s just an Ancient God that recently broke into Rank Eight." The snakeman''s face turned ruthless.


    Bzzzz!


    His Eyes of Life began to turn, causing his body to thrum with boundless vitality. In a flash, the blue-scaled snakeman''s body became extremely muscular and was bursting with power. At the same time, two long and savage sabers appeared in his hands.


    "Lightning Hegemon Slash!" The snakeman waved his sabers, slashing at the approaching killing intent.


    Boom! Hisss!


    A massive blade of lightning containing incredible physical strength surged forward. A moment later, Zhao Feng, still enclosed in a ball of multicolored fog, entered his attack range.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" Zhao Feng mobilized his Chaos Origin Divine Power into his fist and punched. A massive fist of gloomy energy shot forward like a black star.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two clashed, and the snakeman''s blade of lightning crumpled like it was made of paper.


    "How could this be!?" The snakeman''s mouth dropped in disbelief. Based on what he knew, his opponent only recently broke into Rank Eight, so how could his Divine Power attacks be so powerful?


    "Die for me!" Zhao Feng coldly sneered as he lashed out with his boundless Divine Power.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    One had to understand that, even before his breakthrough, his Divine Power attacks were stronger than those of ordinary Rank Eight Ancient Gods. After his breakthrough, his Divine Power had become even more refined, improving in all aspects. At this point, Zhao Feng''s Divine Power attacks could utterly crush the Divine Power attacks of ordinary Rank Eight Ancient Gods.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Zhao Feng''s fierce Chaos Origin Divine Fist crashed into the blue-scaled snakeman like a meteor.


    "Damn! Life Origin!"


    After suffering this vicious attack, the snakeman immediately activated his Eye of Life. In a flash, his eyes began to send out a ceaseless flow of Life energy that allowed his shattered body to recover with astonishing speed.


    "You can''t kill me." The snakeman sneered.


    Firstly, he was a Life God Eye descendant. He had incredibly vitality that made him nigh impossible to kill. Secondly, even if Zhao Feng used all his moves to annihilate him, an Elder of the Heavenly Demon Hall was certain to revive him.


    This was a rule of the Heavenly Demon Hall; anyone who died with merit would be revived.


    "Can''t kill you?" Zhao Feng smiled as well.


    At this moment, his left eye thrummed with Eye Intent.


    "So strong¡­!" The snakeman''s soul instantly quivered in fear.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" Zhao Feng immediately unleashed his eye-bloodline technique. A star of chaotic energy took form and engulfed the blue-scaled snakeman.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    All the energies within this star collided with each other and began to tear each other apart. In a flash, the snakeman''s rapidly recovering body was pulverized.


    In addition, the power of the Earthshaking Nova also affected his soul. For a moment, the snakeman was unable to focus his mind.


    "It''s such a loss to just kill you." Zhao Feng shook his head and smiled.


    Swish!


    A translucent mirror crackling with lightning appeared in his hands.


    "Nine Lightning Soul Refinement!" Zhao Feng immediately activated his supreme-quality divine artifact.


    The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror unleashed Lightning energy that affected both the body and soul. This Lightning energy gradually twisted together into seven chains.


    If it was completely refined, there would have been nine chains of lightning.


    Clingling!


    The seven chains rapidly wrapped around the snakeman''s soul. The chains of lightning then began to exude energy targeted at the soul, constantly numbing and damaging the snakeman''s soul.


    "Collect!" Zhao Feng had the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror pull out the snakeman''s soul.


    "No!" The snakeman struggled for his life and tried to flee in the opposite direction, but he could never escape. He could only ensure that he wasn''t pulled into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    "Where are you going?" Zhao Feng growled as he lashed out with another eye-bloodline technique.


    At the same time, the chains unleashed more Lightning energy, draining the snakeman''s soul of its ability to resist.


    Clingling!


    The chains dragged the snakeman''s soul into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.

 1340 Ancient God Asura Gate

    Chapter 1340 - Ancient God Asura Gate


    "Collect!" Zhao Feng used the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror to suck the snakeman''s soul into the divine artifact.


    The Heavenly Demon Hall had many Samsara God Eye descendants among its ranks. The expert who was directing the pursuit of Zhao Feng behind the scenes was also an Eye of Samsara descendant. Even if he killed these people, Ancient God Nether Spring wouldn''t need to expend much strength to revive them. For this reason, it was better to just take the souls of the enemy and use them for his own purposes.


    The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror contained boundless Nine Heavens Lightning. It could absorb souls and refine them into Lightning Soul Crystals. Once these crystals were consumed, one could produce Soul Lightning in addition to refining and tempering the soul. Moreover, Zhao Feng had a Lightning Soul Body, which improved the effect of Lightning Soul Crystals.


    "This is the first." Zhao Feng''s eyes went cold.


    The Rank Seven Ancient God he killed earlier wasn''t absorbed into the mirror, so it did not count.


    Scanning the area, he quickly picked out another Rank Seven Ancient God.


    "Since they all want to catch me, I''ll just deliver myself to their doorstep!" Zhao Feng coldly laughed before blinking away.


    "Who¡­!?" The Rank Seven Ancient God was caught completely by surprise when Zhao Feng appeared out of nowhere.


    "Run!" The Rank Seven Ancient God was well aware that he was no match for Zhao Feng, so he chose to immediately flee.


    He just wanted to participate and obtain some contribution points. He never expected to encounter the target before even reaching the designated area.


    "Heart Soul Illusion Demon." Zhao Feng casually unleashed an illusion eye-bloodline technique.


    A multicolored light immediately assailed the Rank Seven Ancient God''s soul. He was immediately immersed into his heart demons, and the heart demon only became stronger the more immersed he became.


    Even if Zhao Feng didn''t kill him, he would find it practically impossible to advance any further in cultivation.


    "The second! Collect!" Zhao Feng''s Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror erupted with lightning.


    Swish!


    Seven chains of lightning immediately charged out and wrapped around the Ancient God''s soul. After a period of time, the soul was collected into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    "Where is my next target?" Zhao Feng activated his left eye and looked around, seeing through all the obstacles in his way.


    ¡­


    The core area, the secret hall:


    "This¡­ Elder." An operator stared at the enormous screen before him, a grimace on his face.


    "What''s going on?" Ancient God Nether Spring coldly asked.


    At present, he also knew that Zhao Feng had escaped the target zone, destroying his Rank Seven Samsara Immortal Body along the way.


    "That intruder is not trying to flee. He has begun to hunt the nearby Heavenly Demon Hall members!" the operator stated the conclusion he had obtained from the information at hand.


    Although it seemed absurd, this was the truth.


    "What? He''s not running?" Ancient God Nether Spring was stunned, and then he began to think.


    A Rank Eight Ancient God had no means of defying the Heavenly Demon Hall. No matter how he struggled, he would still end up dead. The intruder had probably realized this and accepted his fate. Thus, he decided to kill a few people before being captured.


    "Foolish!" Ancient God Nether Spring coldly laughed.


    The people that were killed were all ordinary Rank Eight or lower. Reviving them wasn''t difficult at all. This meant that these people killed by Zhao Feng would all just be revived eventually.


    Suddenly, Ancient God Nether Spring grimaced. One of his peak Rank Six Samsara Immortal Bodies was being targeted by Zhao Feng.


    "Kill another of my Samsara Immortal Bodies? Even more foolish." Ancient God Nether Spring snorted in derision.


    Reviving the soul was one of the more taxing abilities of the Eye of Samsara of Life, but for a Samsara Immortal Body, the consumption was halved.


    "The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror!?" Ancient God Nether Spring''s eyes went slack.


    On the other end, Zhao Feng was using the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror to pull out the soul of the peak Rank Six True God. The True God''s soul put up no resistance as it was sucked into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    "How could this be? How could this brat have refined the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror to this level!?" Ancient God Nether Spring blurted out in shock.


    This was a supreme-quality divine artifact. How could it be so easily refined by a mere Rank Eight Ancient God? And from the abilities Zhao Feng was able to display with this divine artifact, he was not far from completely refining it.


    "The key to Samsara Immortal Bodies is that their souls are undying and inextinguishable. Even if the soul has been sealed by another, I can use a secret art to summon them back, but once the soul has been refined by the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, the mark of the Samsara of Death on the soul will be damaged, so summoning it back will depend on luck¡­."


    If a soul was completely refined by the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, it would essentially break free of the Eye of Samsara''s control. One could say that the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror somewhat countered the abilities of the Eye of Samsara.


    "Not good! What if the others also had their souls drawn out by the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror!?" Ancient God Nether Spring''s face twisted.


    With supreme-quality divine artifacts in the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror and the Spacetime Robe on his side, Zhao Feng could crush any ordinary Rank Eight Ancient God he encountered. Those people that had been targeted by Zhao Feng were basically doomed.


    But Ancient God Nether Spring couldn''t let Zhao Feng just leave. If he missed out on this chance, Zhao Feng would probably escape this area.


    "The two of you, hurry up!" Ancient God Nether Spring messaged the Devil Saint God Duo.


    ¡­


    In the inner zone of the Heavenly Demon Hall, a dark blue automaton, its body shrouded in spatial blurs, was rapidly blinking here and there.


    "Nothing strange so far. That brat can''t be dead, can he?" Ancient God Asura Gate, who was controlling the automaton, coldly snorted.


    Because he had self-detonated, all the objects he had on him at the time were destroyed. For this reason, he was unable to communicate with the other members or upper echelon members of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    "Eh? Something''s going on up ahead!" The automaton''s eyes twinkled like jewels.


    Just a moment ago, Ancient God Asura Gate sensed chaotic spatial ripples. There was clearly a battle going on up ahead.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Ancient God Asura Gate rapidly blinked forward. He was quickly able to sense powerful Lightning energy.


    A scene soon appeared before his eyes. There was a ball of multicolored mist, and within was a translucent mirror crackling with lightning. Seven chains extended from this mirror, and they had wrapped tightly around the soul of a Rank Seven Ancient God and were pulling it into the mirror.


    "Save me! He''s an intruder!" The soul saw an automaton of the Heavenly Demon Hall and immediately pleaded for help.


    "Intruder?" Ancient God Asura Gate''s expression turned serious.


    Based on what he knew, there were two intruders in the Heavenly Demon Hall. The first was Ancient God Luo Ling while the second was Zhao Feng.


    Ancient God Luo Ling was a peak Rank Eight and a Spacetime God Eye descendant. Clearly, she was not the person before him. Thus, the mysterious person in the ball of mist was obviously Zhao Feng.


    He remembered that Zhao Feng was previously a peak Rank Seven. He hadn''t expected Zhao Feng to have broken through.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll kill you!" Ancient God Asura Gate howled and rushed toward Zhao Feng in a storm of Divine Power.


    Within the ball of multicolored mist, Zhao Feng grimaced.


    He knows my identity!?


    Up until now, everyone who Zhao Feng had exchanged blows with had no idea who he actually was, but this automaton directly called out his name. It appeared that this person had no small grudge against him.


    "Zhao Feng?" The Ancient God whose soul was bound was stunned.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    From what he understood, both intruders were members of the Spacetime Sacred Land. Wasn''t Zhao Feng a member of the Ziling Zone''s Spiritual Race?


    As he was thinking, Zhao Feng''s left eye unleashed a Tribulation Lightning eye-bloodline technique.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng would protect his identity if it could be protected, but he didn''t much care if it was exposed.


    At present, his identity was probably not completely exposed. Thus, this person and this automaton had to die.


    Kacrack!


    The Rank Seven Ancient God''s soul was lit up by Tribulation Lightning energy. At the same time, the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror pulsed with power, fully dragging the soul into the mirror.


    While doing this, Zhao Feng began to naturally dodge here and there, avoiding the attacks of the dark blue automaton.


    "You''re Ancient God Asura Gate!" After dealing with the Rank Seven Ancient God, Zhao Feng solemnly gazed at the automaton.


    Ordinary automatons could never have such powerful Soul Intent. Moreover, Zhao Feng was extremely familiar with this Soul Intent. He only had to think a little before reaching an answer.


    Zhao Feng never would''ve imagined that Ancient God Asura Gate would want to kill him so badly. After being revived, he was in such a rush that he attached his soul to an automaton and immediately went off to find Zhao Feng.


    "Die!" Ancient God Asura Gate roared as he slashed and hacked with his dark blue sword.


    The automaton was itself a peak Rank Eight. Its magnificent sword slashes fused with Ancient God Asura Gate''s Spacetime Intent became even more vicious and hard to dodge.


    Once I kill you, I''ll possess your body! Ancient God Asura Gate said to himself.


    Zhao Feng was also a Rank Eight Ancient God now, and he was a genius who had directly reached Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm. If Ancient God Asura Gate got his hands on this body, he could completely alter his destiny.


    "Peak Rank Eight?" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    He had just broken into Rank Eight, but he had deep reserves, profound techniques, Divine Power stronger than that of an ordinary Rank Eight, and two supreme-quality divine artifacts. Thus, he could dominate any ordinary Rank Eight Ancient God he encountered. However, dealing with a peak Rank Eight was somewhat more troublesome.


    "Spacetime Barrier!" Zhao Feng used the Spacetime Robe to unleash layers of spatial blurs.


    Those powerful sword slashes were immediately hindered by the Spacetime Barrier, allowing Zhao Feng to easily avoid them.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" Zhao Feng fearlessly unleashed his strongest Divine Power attack.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The battle between the two shook their surroundings.


    "What''s the situation?" A Rank Seven Ancient God arrived on the scene.


    "It''s the intruder!" a nearby peak Rank Six Samsara Immortal Body immediately said. At the same time, this Samsara Immortal Body stated the identity of its master.


    "Elder, I''ll go and help to capture the intruder!" The Rank Seven Ancient God prepared to charge into the fray.


    The peak Rank Eight automation was holding down the intruder, and once they entered the battle, the tides would completely turn in their favor. In this way, those contribution points would be his.


    "Slow down! Wait until everyone else gets here, then we can lock down the area and attack him together," the Rank Six Samsara Immortal Body said.

 1341 Capturing All with a Single Ne

    Chapter 1341 - Capturing All with a Single Net


    "Slow down! Wait until everyone else gets here, then we can lock down the area and attack him together," the Rank Six Samsara Immortal Body said.


    "It is still Elder that deeply thinks things through." The Rank Seven Ancient God immediately put on a winsome smile, but his thoughts were completely different.


    In his view, Zhao Feng had only just broken into Rank Eight. Meanwhile, he was extremely powerful among Rank Seven Ancient Gods, and if he worked together with a peak Rank Eight automaton, defeating Zhao Feng was a certainty.


    But since Elder Nether Spring had spoken, he could only obey.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The narrow confines of the Heavenly Demon Hall, if not for the firm structure and sturdy arrays, would have long ago been destroyed by the battle going on.


    Zhao Feng and Ancient God Asura Gate primarily used Spacetime Intent in their attacks. The two were constantly shifting positions, and their attacks were so vicious that it was impossible for others to react.


    "With this little ability, you want to kill me?" Zhao Feng chuckled.


    He had the Spacetime Robe, so he was actually a little stronger than Ancient God Asura Gate when it came to dodging and defensive abilities.


    "Hmph!" Ancient God Asura Gate coldly snorted, his face darkening, but he did not reply.


    If he was facing the Zhao Feng of the past, Ancient God Asura Gate would have had a ninety percent chance of victory. But after Zhao Feng broke into Rank Eight, he received significant boosts in all attributes. In addition, he now had the powerful divine artifact that was the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    For a moment, Ancient God Asura Gate was completely incapable of doing anything to Zhao Feng.


    But even so, Ancient God Asura Gate was in no rush. This was the territory of the Heavenly Demon Hall. It wouldn''t take long before the other experts of the Heavenly Demon Hall arrived, after which Zhao Feng would be doomed.


    "Nine Heavens Lightning power!" Zhao Feng held the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror in his left hand and unleashed several thick lightning dragons that shot toward Ancient God Asura Gate.


    "Heaven Void Step!" Ancient God Asura Gate began to blink through the air according to some wondrous principle, completely dodging Zhao Feng''s attack.


    Besides this, he was also guarding against Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Seal. Earlier, he wanted to self-detonate and inflict enormous damage on Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Seal caused his plan to fail. Ancient God Asura Gate had keenly experienced the power of the Spacetime Seal, so he was constantly guarding against it.


    "Heavenly Net Void Slash!" Ancient God Asura Gate circulated his Divine Power and unleashed dazzling and blurry waves of energy from his sword.


    "Spacetime Barrier!" Zhao Feng immediately used the Spacetime Barrier, hindering Ancient God Asura Gate''s attacks while he fired off several punches to destroy them.


    In the distance, the peak Rank Six Samsara Immortal Body and the Rank Seven Ancient God grimly observed the battle.


    "This person''s true strength is far greater than we predicted!" Ancient God Nether Spring sighed through his Samsara Immortal Body.


    Zhao Feng was relying on two supreme-quality divine artifacts to fight with a peak Rank Eight automaton, but even without these divine artifacts, the Rank Eight automaton would still find it very difficult to defeat Zhao Feng.


    In addition, Ancient God Nether Spring discovered that there was something strange about this automaton. The Soul Intent inside it was abnormally strong, far stronger than that of a normal Rank Eight automaton.


    "Elder, this intruder''s strength is extremely abnormal!" the Rank Seven Ancient God murmured in shock.


    Zhao Feng only just broke into Rank Eight, but his Divine Power and Intent were both far above the average Rank Eight Ancient God. Together with the Spacetime Robe and the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, he could even fight evenly with a peak Rank Eight automaton.


    In this situation, even his joining the battle would be of no help.


    "Hmph, he truly is a genius, but he''s also a genius that will die soon!" The Rank Six Samsara Immortal Body gave a sinister smile.


    At this moment, another three people arrived. Two were Rank Seven Ancient Gods while one was yet another peak Rank Six Samsara Immortal Body belonging to Ancient God Nether Spring.


    If all of them attacked, Zhao Feng would undoubtedly lose. However, to guard against any mishaps, Ancient God Nether Spring continued to wait.


    At this moment, a red-haired man arrived.


    "Elder, I''m here!" the red-haired man messaged Ancient God Nether Spring''s Samsara Immortal Body.


    "Good! Move out! Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array!" the Rank Six Samsara Immortal Body immediately messaged everyone else.


    A moment later, several powerful auras erupted around the site of Zhao Feng and Ancient God Asura Gate''s battle.


    "You''re finished!" Ancient God Asura Gate was overjoyed.


    This place was the territory of the Heavenly Demon Hall, and now the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall finally arrived and began to take action. Only death awaited Zhao Feng.


    "Hmph, finally willing to come out?" A faint smile formed on Zhao Feng''s lips.


    Although he was in a fierce battle with Ancient God Asura Gate, his left eye''s powerful see-through ability was able to see what was going on around him without obstruction. There were even things Zhao Feng noticed that Ancient God Nether Spring didn''t.Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.


    Hisssss!


    The space around Zhao Feng and Ancient God Asura Gate began to fiercely ripple. Afterward, four blurry dragon heads took form and began to rush to the center. In the end, these four dragon heads collided together, immediately creating a hazy white domain.


    The Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array didn''t merely seal spatial techniques, it also locked down an area.


    Zhao Feng and Ancient God Asura Gate immediately noticed their Space Intent being restricted, and it was becoming incredibly difficult to use.


    "With Space Intent sealed, your Spacetime Robe''s power is halved! Die!" Ancient God Asura Gate immediately exploded with power, formidable Divine Power erupting from his body.


    He was a Spacetime God Eye descendant, so space being sealed meant that he was incapable of using the Spatial eye-bloodline techniques he was so skilled in. But at this moment, he had a peak Rank Eight body, meaning that his Divine Power attacks were extremely formidable.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Several crystalline white waves of light swept toward Zhao Feng. At the same time, the Heavenly Demon Hall members in the surroundings also revealed themselves.


    "Death Light Wave!"


    "Destruction Ray!"


    The Heavenly Demon Hall members simultaneously attacked Zhao Feng.


    With so many people attacking, Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Robe would also be pressured and weaken, unable to block all of them. And since Space Intent could not be used, dodging was also impossible. Zhao Feng was doomed no matter what!


    But at this moment, a massive being suddenly appeared at Zhao Feng''s side. Its body was pitch-black and burning with black and red flames, and it curled up around Zhao Feng, protecting him.


    Hwooom!


    Destructive flames exploded forth, creating a tornado of fire. At the same moment, an ancient bloodline energy that could intimidate the world swept out, causing everyone''s blood to freeze and soul to tremble.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    All the attacks of the Heavenly Demon Hall members struck the fire tornado and were weakened to a certain extent. These attacks then proceeded to strike the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body.


    After taking the Heavenly God Liquid, it wasn''t very lucky and was only able to reach peak Rank Seven, still a step away from Rank Eight. However, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s aura was still much stronger than it was before.


    "This dreadfully powerful bloodline¡­."


    "What is that, a helper?"


    Everyone stared in shock at that enormous pitch-black dragon. A black serpent dragon ¨C a black serpent dragon with the bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race.


    At this moment, after helping Zhao Feng take on all those attacks, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body was in complete tatters, not one part of it whole and healthy. But it did not need the Eye of Life for its body to rapidly heal and recover.


    "How? How could he still have a helper, and one with the bloodline of the Destruction Dragon Race!?" Ancient God Nether Spring stared at this scene in shock through his Samsara Immortal Body.


    The last few times Zhao Feng was in desperate straits, he never revealed such a trump card. Thus, everyone believed that they had understood the extent of his abilities, never imagining that he could still have another helper.


    If they could capture this creature and obtain its bloodline, they would be able to derive many things from researching it.


    But suddenly, Ancient God Nether Spring sensed danger.


    Not good¡­!


    The vision of the peak Rank Six Samsara Immortal Body suddenly went dark, and then it lost consciousness.


    Meow!


    At some point, the crafty little thieving cat had appeared behind it.


    As for the Samsara Immortal Body, it had already been cut in two, and the unique traits of the Samsara Immortal Body were suppressed by a powerful seal and rendered ineffective. The Samsara Immortal Body''s soul suffered an extremely lethal strike and was annihilated.


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Cat!"


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Cat was hiding nearby!"


    The other members of the Heavenly Demon Hall cried out in alarm.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Cat was one of the Heavenly Demon Hall''s top priorities. Even if they lost all their research results, they could not let the Heaven''s Legacy Cat escape.


    At this moment, in the center of the battlefield, a ruthless light appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    "Begin the killing!" Zhao Feng roared, golden wings of light condensing on his back.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng transformed into a faint streak of golden light and charged at a Rank Seven Ancient God near the edge of the domain.


    In truth, if he had used a few of his trump cards, Zhao Feng could have defeated Ancient God Asura Gate long ago. He concealed so many of his tricks and battled with Ancient God Asura Gate for so long precisely because he wanted the people hanging around in the area to show themselves. Rather than going to seek out every one of them, it was far better if they all came to Zhao Feng so he could catch them all with a single net.


    Even more amusing was that these members were so worried about Zhao Feng running that they had locked down the area. Now, this domain became their own prison.


    "Nine Lightning Soul Refinement!"


    Without another word, he took out the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror and fired off seven lightning chains.


    Clingling!


    The chains of lightning pierced through that Rank Seven Ancient God''s body and wrapped around his soul.


    "Seeking death!" Ancient God Asura Gate, infuriated, immediately charged at Zhao Feng and slashed his sword at him.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng used his Metal Lightning Radiance Wings and the powerful observation abilities of his God''s Spiritual Eye to easily dodge all the attacks aimed at him.


    "Without Space Intent, your attacks can''t even touch me." Zhao Feng faintly smiled as he continued to operate the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    "Damn!" Ancient God Asura Gate''s face turned savage.


    Zhao Feng spoke so brashly in front of him and was even attacking other Ancient Gods right in front of his face. This was a show of naked disregard for Ancient God Asura Gate.


    But as an Eye of Spacetime descendant, he was most skilled in Space Intent. He rarely dabbled in any other kinds of combat skills.


    "Collect!" Zhao Feng pulled out the soul of the Rank Seven Ancient God.


    While Zhao Feng was dealing with one person, the little thieving cat finished dealing with another peak Rank Six Samsara Immortal Body.


    "Kill!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had also recovered by this time. Its body surging with Destructive draconic flames, it charged at a peak Rank Seven Ancient God.


    The Destruction Dragon Race had an innate love for fighting, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon felt nearly stifled to death as of late. Now that it had a rare chance to fight, it seemed to go mad, putting everything aside in order to fight and kill.


    "Next one!" Zhao Feng sneered as he ignored Ancient God Asura Gate and flew into the distance.


    He was now a hunter, hunting the Heavenly Demon Hall members in the Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array.

 1342 Massacre

    Chapter 1342 - Massacre


    Inside the core area''s secret hall:


    "This scoundrel¡­! He actually has the help of both a Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" Ancient God Nether Spring furiously roared.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon in question had a sliver of Destruction Dragon Race blood. Although it was a peak Rank Seven, its true strength was tantamount to an ordinary Rank Eight Ancient God. As for the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, it was even more unfathomable.


    At this point, his plans for a group assault had gone up in smoke. Even the Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array ended up being nothing more than a prison for the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    "Damn! Both of my Samsara Immortal Bodies are dead! I can''t see what''s going on!" Ancient God Nether Spring tightly clenched his fists, a sinister and chilling aura rising from his body.


    It seemed like the Heaven''s Legacy Cat intentionally killed his Samsara Immortal Bodies first.


    Although Ancient God Nether Spring had many Samsara Immortal Bodies, Zhao Feng''s group possessed formidable fighting power. If those ordinary Samsara Immortal Bodies of his got close, he would just be sending them to their deaths. Moreover, if they were absorbed into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror and refined into Lightning Soul Crystals, not even Samsara Immortal Bodies could be revived.


    "The two of you, hurry up!" Ancient God Nether Spring ordered the Devil Saint God Duo.


    In the current situation, only the Devil Saint God Duo could deal with Zhao Feng''s group. As for his Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body, it was in the outer zone of the Heavenly Demon Hall upon receiving the news, farthest from the area, so it still needed some time to arrive.


    "Elder, we''ve found the information on that peak Rank Eight automaton." An operator found the owner of the automaton through its appearance. After some questioning, he found out what was going on. He then relayed this information to Ancient God Nether Spring.


    "What? When that brat first infiltrated this place, he killed Ancient God Asura Gate, and none of you knew anything about it?" Ancient God Nether Spring had barely managed to calm his temper when it was once more inflamed, but there was nowhere that he could he vent his fury.


    The secret hall immediately fell dead silent. After a long while, Ancient God Nether Spring finally calmed down and began to think.


    "That brat seems to have known what was going on around him for some time." Ancient God Nether Spring''s face chilled.


    The Heavenly Demon Hall was constructed with special materials and had been further strengthened with arrays. It was particularly effective at repelling Divine Sense.


    Despite that, Zhao Feng seemed to have a clear understanding of the surrounding situation, even while he was battling with a Rank Eight automaton.


    "Eh?" At this moment, one of Ancient God Nether Spring''s Samsara Immortal Bodies encountered a new development.


    "It''s Ancient God Luo Ling!" Ancient God Nether Spring coldly said.


    At this moment, Ancient God Luo Ling was preparing to infiltrate the secret hall, but there were far too many patrollers in the core area, and even more of Ancient God Nether Spring''s Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    Just a moment ago, Ancient God Luo Ling was discovered by one of his Samsara Immortal Bodies. Fortunately for her, she immediately retreated.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Luo Ling had sensed something strange ¨C that she would have been in incredible danger if she ventured any deeper.


    After weighing the pros and cons several times, she decided to retreat and find a way to leave the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    "I might as well help him out." Ancient God Luo Ling suddenly remembered Zhao Feng.


    Earlier, when she decided to try and infiltrate the secret hall again, Zhao Feng warned her that it was too dangerous, but Ancient God Luo Ling refused to listen.


    From what she saw, Zhao Feng didn''t have any way of leaving the Heavenly Demon Hall and was waiting for an opportunity.


    "I''ll just treat it as returning his favor," Ancient God Luo Ling whispered to herself and left.


    After Ancient God Luo Ling left, a Rank Eight Samsara Immortal Body appeared nearby, exuding the soul energy of a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    "Ancient God Luo Ling and that brat are together¡­." Ancient God Nether Spring began to think once more.


    He still did not know Zhao Feng''s true identity and believed that, just like Ancient God Luo Ling, Zhao Feng belonged to the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "Ancient God Luo Ling might want to meet up with that brat and bring him and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat out of this place!" Ancient God Nether Spring''s eyes flashed with sharp light.


    If he allowed Ancient God Luo Ling and Zhao Feng to meet, even the Devil Saint God Duo would be doomed, and not even his Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body was guaranteed to be able to deal with them. Consequently, they would escape with the Heaven''s Legacy Cat.


    "If I don''t capture all of you, I won''t have a shred of dignity left!" Ancient God Nether Spring coldly snorted.


    There were two intruders in the Heavenly Demon Hall. Now, these two intruders were about to join together.


    This also meant that Ancient God Nether Spring no longer needed to keep watch on things. Even if a new situation developed, nothing was more important than the Heaven''s Legacy Cat and the two intruders.


    Whoosh!


    At this thought, Ancient God Nether Spring''s body turned into a cloud of dark yellow fog and vanished from the secret hall.


    ¡­


    "Where are you going? If you''ve got the skill, fight!" Ancient God Asura Gate angrily roared.


    Ever since the Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array was laid down, Zhao Feng ceased fighting with him and began to deal with the other members of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    Just a moment ago, another Rank Seven Ancient God was slayed before him. This sort of helpless defeat and humiliation almost made Ancient God Asura Gate lose all sense of rationality.


    Zhao Feng sneered. He didn''t refuse to fight Ancient God Asura Gate because he feared him, it was just that killing Ancient God Asura Gate would be rather troublesome. If others managed to escape while he was dealing with Ancient God Asura Gate, he would suffer a loss. For this reason, Zhao Feng decided to deal with the others first.


    Whoosh!


    In a faint streak of golden light, Zhao Feng appeared in front of an azure-robed Rank Seven Ancient God.


    "Hurry and undo the array!" The azure-robed Ancient God immediately panicked when he saw that Zhao Feng was aiming at him.


    The Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array was created by four people using four special tools. These same four people were required to undo the array, or else it would be extremely problematic.


    The two Samsara Immortal Bodies had died, Zhao Feng had killed one of the four people, and the other person was busy battling with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    At this moment, of the four, only the red-haired man and azure-robed Ancient God were left. The moment the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Heaven''s Legacy Cat appeared, the two of them started trying to undo the array, but they had yet to meet with any success.


    "Nine Lightning Soul Refinement!" Zhao Feng immediately activated the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    "Oh no!" The azure-robed Ancient God instantly stopped trying to undo the array and began to flee.


    Swish!


    However, the seven chains were just as fast as he was, pursuing him closely like venomous lightning snakes. If he ever so slightly let down his guard, he would be ensnared.


    "Don''t even think about it!" At this moment, Ancient God Asura Gate charged at Zhao Feng.


    He madly flailed his sword, unleashing massive waves of energy that engulfed his surroundings.


    "Chaos Origin Shield!" Zhao Feng circulated his Chaos Origin Divine Power, forming a gloomy shield of twisted energy to protect himself. Ignoring Ancient God Asura Gate, he placed all his focus on the azure-robed Ancient God.


    "Nooo¡­!" the azure-robed Ancient God cried out in fear.


    Clingling!


    His soul was dragged out by the seven chains, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn''t break free.


    "Collect!" Zhao Feng''s Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror received yet another soul.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat stood on the side, waving around its paws and doing little else.


    After killing Ancient God Nether Spring''s two Samsara Immortal Bodies, it ceased to concern itself with the battle. This was Zhao Feng''s order though. After all, if the little thieving cat killed someone, they still had a chance to be revived. But if their souls were sucked into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, not only could they not be revived, but they could even be refined into Lightning Soul Crystals.


    "How could this be?" The red-haired man was stupefied. The array they planned to use to trap and kill Zhao Feng was now being used for the sake of Zhao Feng''s massacre.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng flew toward the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    At this point, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s opponent was on his dying breath.


    "Nine Lightning Soul Refinement!" Zhao Feng activated the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror and took in another soul.


    Now, only Ancient God Asura Gate and the red-haired man were left inside the array.


    At this time, a Rank Eight Ancient God arrived outside the array.


    "What happened? How did it turn out like this?" The Rank Eight Ancient God was completely shocked.


    While on the way, he was worried that, by the time he arrived, the intruder would already be captured. He never expected to see this when he arrived.


    He wanted to enter to help the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall, but he could not open the Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array. All he could do was watch in shock.


    "This can''t be real!"


    "This brat¡­ how did it turn out like this?"


    The red-haired man and Ancient God Asura Gate had shocked and fearful expressions.


    The two of them remained, and they were both well aware that they were no match for Zhao Feng''s group. On top of that, the powerful reinforcements from the Heavenly Demon Hall had yet to arrive.


    Would they also have to die here? They were keenly aware that, if their souls were absorbed into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, there was no chance of them being revived.


    "Kill him first!" Zhao Feng exchanged glances with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and then began to attack the red-haired man.


    The red-haired man and Ancient God Asura Gate were both Rank Eight, but Ancient God Asura Gate was peak Rank Eight, making him somewhat harder to deal with.


    "No¡­!" the red-haired man screamed and began to run for his life.


    However, he was much slower than Zhao Feng, and with the space being locked down, he had nowhere to run.


    "Nine Lightning Soul Refinement!" Zhao Feng activated the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, which fired off seven chains of lightning.


    "Destruction Dragon Flame!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon waved its two claws, unleashing two fireballs of black and red flame. These immediately turned into two fire tornadoes that desired to destroy all.


    "Save me! If we work together, we might be able to deal with them!" His life in danger, the red-haired man sought help from Ancient God Asura Gate.


    "We''ve lost¡­. Even if we work together, there''s no way we can beat them." Ancient God Asura Gate had a grief-stricken expression.


    He was no match for Zhao Feng, and the red-haired man was no match for the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. There was also still the spectating Heaven''s Legacy Cat.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" Zhao Feng seized this chance and unleashed a powerful eye-bloodline technique.


    Boom! Bang!


    The red-haired man''s entire body was engulfed in chaotic energy, and the tremendous explosion blasted his body to bits.


    Clingling!


    The chains of lightning wrapped around his soul and dragged it into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    Only Ancient God Asura Gate was left in the array. Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon both stared at him.


    "No¡­ I don''t want to die!" Ancient God Asura Gate gave a plaintive howl.


    Suddenly, his body pulsed with terrifying energy.


    "Not good, self-detonation!" Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately backed up while deploying defensive measures.


    "This way, I won''t have to die!" A pained and sorrowful look appeared on Ancient God Asura Gate''s face.


    A self-detonated soul could not be dragged away by Zhao Feng, so he still had a chance of being revived.


    Ancient God Asura Gate gave a bitter smile. He never would have imagined that he would be forced into this state, using self-detonation just to buy himself a chance at survival.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat jumped to Zhao Feng''s side. It reached out a claw and unleashed a barrier of crude runes. The Sealing Intent on this barrier was seemingly capable of suppressing any kind of power.

    A terrifying storm of energy swept through the confines of the Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array. The surrounding area faintly trembled while the Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array simply shattered.


    The area was deserted. The Rank Eight Ancient God outside the array had long ago noticed something was strange and fled.


    However, Zhao Feng noticed that, not far behind where Ancient God Asura Gate self-detonated, someone else had arrived.

 1343 Thunderflame Ancient Dragon Race

    Chapter 1343 - Thunderflame Ancient Dragon Race


    Ancient God Luo Ling had been planning to find Zhao Feng and take him out with her. After all, the two had worked together for a bit, and later on, Zhao Feng gave Ancient God Luo Ling a good-intentioned warning. Taking Zhao Feng with her was also as easy for her as lifting a finger.


    But just when she arrived at where Zhao Feng had been hiding, she sensed intense ripples of energy and heard a heavenshaking explosion.


    At the start, Ancient God Luo Ling believed that Zhao Feng''s hiding spot had been discovered by the Heavenly Demon Hall and the two were in the middle of a major battle. She planned to go to Zhao Feng''s assistance.


    However, by the time she arrived in the vicinity of the Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array, she saw Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon working together to kill the red-haired man. Meanwhile, on the other end, the peak Rank Eight automaton chose to self-detonate. The man and the automaton had painful, grief-stricken, helpless, and shameless expressions.


    This sight gave Ancient God Luo Ling''s mind an enormous jolt.


    Although Zhao Feng had a helper, his helper was just a peak Rank Seven, and yet they still managed to push the enemies to this state.


    This was not something someone who had just broken into Rank Eight could do. If not for the fact that Ancient God Luo Ling had worked with Zhao Feng before, she would have never believed that the person in the ball of multicolored fog was Zhao Feng.


    "Killing a Rank Eight Ancient God in a direct confrontation and forcing a peak Rank Eight automaton to self-detonate!?" Ancient God Luo Ling''s face was frozen in shock.


    A peak Rank Eight automaton was actually completely unwilling to fight and chose to self-detonate instead. It was difficult to imagine just what had taken place inside the Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng noticed Ancient God Luo Ling.


    "How come you''re here?" Zhao Feng looked at Ancient God Luo Ling and directly asked.


    Didn''t Ancient God Luo Ling go to the core secret hall? Even if she had failed, shouldn''t she be seeking opportunities to escape? Why come and find him?


    At this moment, the little thieving cat used some mysterious method to undo the remnants of the Celestial Dragon Spatial Lock Array.


    "Mm?" Ancient God Luo Ling grimaced.


    The array had somewhat hindered her perception. Now that the array was gone, she immediately sensed an intense deathly aura. It was clear that the red-hair man and the automaton were far from the only people to have died in this array.


    Ancient God Luo Ling then fiercely stared at the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Destruction Dragon Race!" Her expression became even more shocked.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s aura made her bloodline slightly tremble.


    Although the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s bloodline was extremely thin, it was still the bloodline of a race ranked in the top ten of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, the Destruction Dragon Race! The strongest Destruction Dragon Race bloodline was even comparable to one of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    "I was looking for where you were hiding. I thought that you didn''t have any way of leaving, so I was planning to take you out with me." Ancient God Luo Ling hesitated for a few moments before speaking.


    By now, she was treating Zhao Feng as an equal existence. To have such astonishing achievements in battle after barely breaking into Rank Eight made him not one bit inferior to her.


    Zhao Feng was moved. He truly had been waiting for a moment to leave.


    However, if he left with Ancient God Luo Ling, he would definitely end up gaining the attention of the Spacetime Sacred Land. Back when Zhao Feng snatched the Spacetime Robe from the Spacetime Sacred Land''s team in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension, he had essentially formed a grudge with it.


    Zhao Feng was getting ready to refuse when he suddenly had another idea.


    "Let''s make a deal," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    "I don''t need anything to take you out of here." Luo Ling''s eyes flashed with disdain.


    Ancient God Luo Ling mistakenly believed that Zhao Feng had interpreted her intentions as wanting to take him out in exchange for some treasure he owned. Of course, Ancient God Luo Ling truly did desire that Spacetime Robe.


    "You''ve misunderstood me. I plan to trade something else!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Ancient God Luo Ling froze for a second, her cheeks slightly blushing, but she quickly regained her composure.


    "What sort of deal?" Ancient God Luo Ling whispered.


    "I can let you enter the Spacetime Robe''s dimension and breakthrough into Rank Nine, and you can help me with something...." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    "Enter the Spacetime Robe''s dimension... break into Rank Nine?" Ancient God Luo Ling was stunned.


    One had to realize that each one of the three ranks of Ancient God was extremely hard to break into. Even with the assistance of a higher-level expert, breaking through was not something one could do at will. And the one saying this to her was someone of a lower level of cultivation.


    In addition, entering the Spacetime Robe''s internal dimension was equivalent to touching the core of the Spacetime Robe. Although the Spacetime Robe already had a master, if Zhao Feng was heavily injured or Ancient God Luo Ling had some sort of special method, she was completely capable of stealing it away.


    "Heavenly God Liquid... have you heard of it?" Zhao Feng asked.


    Only someone who took Heavenly God Liquid for the first time could enjoy an extremely high chance of breaking into the next realm.


    Zhao Feng had never heard of Heavenly God Liquid before he acquired it. It was probably some treasure for breaking through developed by the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Thus, Ancient God Luo Ling had probably never taken Heavenly God Liquid before.


    Ancient God Luo Ling shook her head, indicating that she had never heard about it.


    "This treasure endows a certain chance for an expert of one of the nine ranks of True God to break into the next rank. The lower one''s cultivation, the higher one''s chance. I took some of it, allowing me to break into Rank Eight. You''re already peak Rank Eight, so you shouldn''t have any problems...." Zhao Feng began to specifically describe the effects for Ancient God Luo Ling.


    Although a peak Rank Eight probably wouldn''t have any problems, Zhao Feng did not dare to give a one hundred percent guarantee. No one could ever speak with complete confidence about probabilities. Thus, he first clearly explained the situation.


    "I agree!" Ancient God Luo Ling swiftly took the deal. The deal Zhao Feng offered had only pros and no cons for her.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng immediately took out a contract


    The primary purpose of signing a contract was to bind Ancient God Luo Ling so that she would not do anything to the Spacetime Robe while inside the Spacetime Robe Dimension and would focus completely on breaking through.


    Zhao Feng gave one of the last two portions of Heavenly God Liquid to Ancient God Luo Ling.


    Swish!


    With a flap of the Spacetime Robe, Ancient God Luo Ling and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon entered its internal dimension.


    Clingclang!


    The little thieving cat tossed out a few bronze coins and then pointed in a direction. Zhao Feng flew in the direction that the little thieving cat indicated.


    A figure suddenly appeared in a cultivation chamber.


    "Elder, the intruder is heading east!" he immediately informed through a message token.


    Originally, this person was heading toward the target location according to Ancient God Nether Spring''s orders so that Zhao Feng could be surrounded and killed. However, an unexpected development occurred, and all of them received another order telling them to not get close. Thus, many members of the Heavenly Demon Hall were concealed in the vicinity, including Ancient God Nether Spring''s Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    Ancient God Nether Spring was currently traveling at full speed through the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    He had the Eye of Samsara, so he was not especially skilled in battle, and his speed was not anything extraordinary. Compared to a Spacetime God Eye descendant like Ancient God Luo Ling, he wasn''t even close.


    At this moment, he took out a message token.


    "Can you really escape?" Ancient God Nether Spring coldly snorted.


    This time, he was personally going out The two intruders were doomed, and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat wouldn''t be able to escape.


    "Wait, the east!?" Ancient God Nether Spring grimaced as he began to think.


    "Damn! They''re running to what happens to be the safest area!" Ancient God Nether Spring immediately began to curse.


    His Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body was coming from the west while he himself was coming from the north. Coincidentally, Zhao Feng was fleeing to the east Could Zhao Feng have known all this?


    "It must be the Heaven''s Legacy Cat" Ancient God Nether Spring instantly understood.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Cat was at Zhao Feng''s side all this time. For the mighty Heaven''s Legacy Cat to have predicted all this was well within expectations.


    "All you''re doing is delaying the time of your death." Ancient God Nether Spring didn''t care that much.


    Moreover, the Devil Saint God Duo would probably catch up to Zhao Feng pretty quickly.


    He didn''t demand that they capture Zhao Feng, only disrupt and suppress him. If they couldn''t do that, then they at least needed to make sure that they didn''t lose his trail. Once Ancient God Nether Spring and his Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body arrived, everything would be settled.


    The corridors of the Heavenly Demon Hall were as complicated as a maze. Thwish!


    The wings on Zhao Feng''s back buzzed as he traversed the corridors as a golden streak of light.


    I hope that Ancient God Luo Ling can break through as soon as possible, Zhao Feng thought to himself.


    In truth, he could''ve just left together with Ancient God Luo Ling. But Zhao Feng was still a little unwilling to leave, so he made that deal with Ancient God Luo Ling. Once Ancient God Luo Ling broke through into Rank Nine, they would no longer need to sneak through the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    In addition, the person who benefited the most from this deal was Ancient God Luo Ling. From a certain perspective, Zhao Feng was forming a good relationship with the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    They came so quickly! Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    Zhao Feng suddenly took a turn at the next fork.


    At the same moment, the Devil Saint God Duo emerged from the corridor ahead of him.


    "Intruder!" the pair simultaneously shouted.


    They had received Ancient God Nether Spring''s order; they only needed to hold down the intruder or at the very least make sure not to lose him. But when they first saw Zhao Feng, the two of them were rather startled.


    Based on what Ancient God Nether Spring had said, the strength of Zhao Feng''s group was far above theirs, so they were not allowed to engage in a direct confrontation with him. But for some reason, Zhao Feng fled the moment he saw them.


    If Zhao Feng was stronger than them, why did he run? The Devil Saint God Duo were truly confused.


    "After him!" The two immediately pursued.


    Zhao Feng paid them no mind. He was a little faster than them anyway. If this continued, he was certain to throw off their pursuit.


    "Damn! This kid is faster than us!" The Devil Saint God Duo had unsightly looks on their faces.


    In truth, if Zhao Feng put all his strength into flying, these two would never be able to keep up. However, Zhao Feng had just been through a major battle, which had consumed a significant amount of energy. He had even more important things to do later on, so there was no need to expend extra energy on something like this. Besides, throwing off the pursuit of this pair simply wasn''t important.


    "Devil Execution!"


    "Holy Light Fairy Spirit Sword!"


    The Devil Saint God Duo used their strongest attacks to disrupt Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng dodged and continued to ignore the pair as he randomly flew through the halls of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    Still not done? Delaying for too long would be dangerous. Zhao Feng sent a part of his mind into the Spacetime Robe.


    At this moment, Ancient God Luo Ling was at the crucial moment in the formation of her Divine Stage.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng slowed down.


    "Oh no!" Zhao Feng grimaced and began to fly toward the Devil Saint God Duo.


    "Haha, where are you running?" The Devil Saint God Duo coldly chuckled as they attacked Zhao Feng.


    They were not one bit surprised by Zhao Feng''s shift in attitude.


    At this moment, a terrifying energy appeared nearby. The area gradually became scorching hot while the air began to crackle with electricity.


    "Intruder, die!" A deafening roar caused the air to tremble.


    A giant red figure suddenly appeared at the end of the hall. It had the body of a human and the head of a dragon. Two wings sprouted from its back and its face was savage and despotic. It was none other than the Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body, the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon.

 1344 Full Mobilization

    Chapter 1344 - Full Mobilization


    "Intruder, die!" The moment the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon appeared, it furiously bellowed, causing its surroundings to buzz and drone.


    Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body! Zhao Feng immediately turned and fled.


    If it was a normal Rank Nine Ancient God, Zhao Feng and his two supreme-quality divine artifacts might have been able to put up a fight. But in its past life, this Thunderflame Ancient Dragon was part of a dreadful race that was made for war, and now it possessed an undying body. If he dared to butt heads with it, he would just be seeking death. And besides, there was still the Devil Saint God Duo to deal with.


    "Out of the way!" The moment Zhao Feng turned around, he saw that the Devil Saint God Duo had already launched fierce attacks. He immediately circulated his Chaos Origin Divine Power into a gloomy shield of energy, and then he activated the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    Swish!


    The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror spat out a massive dragon of lightning. The heaven-shaking momentum and lightning made the Devil Saint God Duo take a step back, but as Samsara Immortal Bodies, they had nothing to fear.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World!" Just when the Devil Saint God Duo were preparing to use more powerful attacks, Zhao Feng''s left eye activated a Soul Illusion art.


    Although the Devil Saint God Duo were both peak Rank Eights, they were still befuddled for a few moments by Zhao Feng''s illusions.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    While the Devil Saint God Duo were weak, the massive lightning dragon tore through them. Their bodies in tatters, they were compelled to retreat.


    Zhao Feng took advantage of this opening to flee.


    "Where are you going!?" Behind him, the Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body bellowed and waved its hand.


    Kabooom!


    A dazzling dragon of lightning and fire shot forward. In terms of both momentum and power, it far surpassed the lightning dragon released by Zhao Feng¡¯s Nine Lightning SoiH-Refining Mirror.


    The fire-lightning dragon left a scene of devastation in its wake.


    "Spacetime Barrier!" Zhao Feng immediately activated the Spacetime Robe, blurry spatial layers appearing around him.


    The moment the fire-lightning dragon touched this layer of Spacetime energy, it immediately began to feel the effects.


    Boom! Hisss!


    A few moments later, the fire-lightning dragon succeeded in blowing to pieces this Spacetime energy. But by this time, Zhao Feng had made a clean getaway.


    "After him! Don''t let him go!" the Devil Saint God Duo immediately bellowed.


    Now that Ancient God Nether Spring''s Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body was here, what hope did the intruder have of resisting? Even if he fled with all his power, he would not be able to escape the hands of the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon.


    "No hurry," the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon growled.


    The Devil Saint God Duo were just about to question him when they received a message from Ancient God Nether Spring; "This intruder has probably already met with Ancient God Luo Ling. He also has the help of a Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat. Capture them if you can, but as long as you don''t lose track of him..."


    The Devil Saint God Duo were stunned by these words. If it really was as their master said, then even if the two of them worked with the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon, they would not necessarily be able to capture Zhao Feng.


    But if Ancient God Nether Spring came personally, there would be no problem whatsoever. Although the Eye of Samsara was not particularly suited for combat, Ancient God Nether Spring was still a Rank Nine Ancient God. His strength could not be underestimated.


    "Everyone in the Heavenly Demon Hall is currently under my command. They''re converging on your location now. When the time comes, I will have them taste despair!" Ancient God Nether Spring coldly snorted, his icy voice resounding in all three of their souls.


    Ancient God Nether Spring''s hatred for Zhao Feng was beyond words. For the sake of this operation''s success, Ancient God Nether Spring exerted all his power and was even personally taking the field. In addition, he had mobilized all the people in the Heavenly Demon Hall that could be mobilized. Such a massive array of forces was all for the sake of killing two intruders and capturing one Heaven''s Legacy Cat


    "Mm? They''re not trying to catch up?" Zhao Feng was somewhat surprised.


    Under normal circumstances, the Rank Nine Samsara Immortal Body should have been pursuing him with all its power. The Thunderflame Ancient Dragon had more than enough speed to keep up with Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had made his preparations. If he was no match alone, he would have the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat strike. If this was still not enough, he would summon more helpers from the Ancient Dream Realm.


    However, the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon and the Devil Saint God Duo, although still pursuing Zhao Feng, were not using all their strength.


    "This is fine as well. Since you''re giving me the time, I''ll prepare a pleasant surprise for you all!" Zhao Feng chuckled as he continued to run.


    In the Heavenly Demon Hall, all the members that could be mobilized were under Ancient God Nether Spring''s command.


    In a secret chamber, a slim woman''s face was stricken with fear. She was one of the members who had worked together with Ancient God Profound Devil and the others to commence a massacre in the Heaven''s Legacy Race ruins.


    "It really is him. Ancient God Profound Devil and the others are already dead...." The slim woman was rather downcast. After all, the six of them had worked together on missions for many years, but now, she was the only one left.


    The slim woman suddenly took out a message token, but even after receiving Ancient God Nether Spring''s order, she did not move out.


    The slim woman had interacted with Zhao Feng many times. She now had enough clues to use her Eye of Destiny to predict how the situation would turn out for her.


    "Badly!"


    "If the intruder is captured, everyone will be rewarded with contribution points!" A white-haired elder had an excited expression as he moved out.


    All the members in the Heavenly Demon Hall were moving in the same general direction.


    The fleeing Zhao Feng finally began to notice this. After using his God''s Spiritual Eye, he realized that there were quite a few people around him moving around, but none of them had attacked him.


    "I didn''t think that the Heavenly Demon Hall would mobilize such a large force to deal with me." Zhao Feng gave a helpless smile. His enemy seemed to have far too high an opinion of him.


    "Ahead, that is...?" Zhao Feng''s eyes froze.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng felt an immense pressure behind him. His surroundings became blazing hot, and the air began to crackle with electricity.


    Boom!


    The Thunderflame Ancient Dragon and the Devil Saint God Duo suddenly exploded with speed and caught up. At the same time, several figures that Zhao Feng did not recognize appeared in Zhao Feng''s surroundings. Although they couldn''t see Zhao Feng, they had received someone''s commands and rapidly began to surround Zhao Feng.


    "Let me see just how long you can remain so conceited!" At this moment, a cold roar came from up ahead.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    An enormous momentum crushed all the buildings around him. A moment later, a large and pitch-black figure appeared before Zhao Feng. He was wearing a black robe and resided in a cloud of dark and sinister mist. His eyes, which seemed to lead to the underworld, were glaring at Zhao Feng.


    When Ancient God Nether Spring set eyes on Zhao Feng, his face became abnormally savage and dreadful. Anger, excitement, and resentment all showed themselves on his face.


    "Rank Nine Samsara God Eye descendant?" Zhao Feng indifferently gazed at Ancient God Nether Spring.


    Zhao Feng had already exchanged many blows with Ancient God Nether Spring, but this was the first time the two actually met.


    "I didn''t think that you would personally take action...." Zhao Feng truly hadn''t thought of this possibility. It appeared that Ancient God Nether Spring''s hatred toward him had already reached its limit.


    Zhao Feng finally understood why the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon didn''t immediately attack him. This was because Ancient God Nether Spring wanted to torture Zhao Feng and kill him himself, perhaps even make him into a Samsara Immortal Body so that Zhao Feng could not die even if he wanted to.


    The Thunderflame Ancient Dragon and the Devil Saint God Duo appeared behind Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng could also sense weaker auras around him.


    "Die!" Ancient God Nether Spring coldly stared at Zhao Feng.


    When he said these words, Zhao Feng could already sense suffocating pulses of Divine Power around him.


    "Hold on! Don''t you want to know why the Heaven''s Legacy Cat is willing to follow me and listen to my orders?" Zhao Feng suddenly asked.


    Ancient God Nether Spring was startled. He wasn''t shocked at the fact that Zhao Feng knew the term "Heaven''s Legacy Cat," but he was indeed interested in why the Heaven''s Legacy Cat followed Zhao Feng, was willing to plunder treasuries for his sake, and even listened to Zhao Feng''s orders in killing the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall. Earlier, after capturing the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, no matter what they did, the Heaven''s Legacy Cat never cooperated.


    "If you state the method, I will make your death a little more pleasant," Ancient God Nether Spring hesitated a moment before finally saying.


    Zhao Feng could not be allowed to live, but if he could extract a little more information from him, then he would do so. And if he couldn''t, it didn''t matter too much. After all, the Heaven''s Legacy Cat would quickly be taken away by a God Lord expert.


    "If I hand over everything I stole from the treasuries, can you let me go?" Zhao Feng put on a fearful expression as he negotiated with Ancient God Nether Spring.


    Ancient God Nether Spring paused, his brow furrowing. If they really did attack him, Zhao Feng might self-detonate, which would result in the destruction of the majority of the treasures. Ancient God Nether Spring was annoyed and perplexed.


    Wait! He''s trying to buy time! Ancient God Nether Spring''s face suddenly contorted, and his icy killing intent became almost tangible.


    Just now, he was so tempted by what Zhao Feng was promising that he didn''t fully consider the situation. Now that he calmed down, he noticed many suspicious points.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng had been randomly running through the Heavenly Demon Hall, not making any attempt to find an exit. Secondly, Ancient God Luo Ling had already met up with Zhao Feng, but there was no trace of her. Finally, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the Heaven''s Legacy Cat had also not shown themselves. All this together was too abnormal and made Ancient God Nether Spring feel uneasy.


    "Kill him!" Ancient God Nether Spring ordered.


    A moment later, his eyes pulsed with astonishing Eye Intent, and a transcendent Intent energy began to sweep through the area.


    On the other end, the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon''s claws erupted with scarlet flames and electricity that condensed into terrifying balls of energy.


    Zhao Feng could also sense pulses of Divine Power from other areas around him. At this moment, Zhao Feng was tightly surrounded by two Rank Nines, two peak Rank Eights, and some other Ancient Gods. He had nowhere to run.


    "Can you really kill me?" Zhao Feng sneered.


    The moment he spoke, everyone around him displayed scornful smiles.


    "Even in the face of death, you''re still so conceited!"


    "What a joke! Soon, you''ll be dead without a grave to call your own!"


    The many Ancient Gods jeered.


    However, Ancient God Nether Spring became even more uneasy.


    Bzzzz!


    His eyes exploded with a ball of gloomy light It was suffused with ultimate Samsara Intent, seemingly capable of binding all living beings in the universe.


    Ancient God Nether Spring''s eye-bloodline technique was on the verge of striking Zhao Feng, but he still seemed unworried. "Time for you to show your skills," Zhao Feng whispered and then waved his sleeve.


    A silver-clothed woman with a gorgeous face and nimble body suddenly appeared.


    "Void Spirit Slash!" The moment Ancient God Luo Ling appeared, she lightly waved her silver scimitar, sending forth a gleaming ray of silver light.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Nether Spring''s eye-bloodline technique was pierced through by this silver ray of light A moment later, Ancient God Nether Spring''s eye-bloodline technique was sliced and diced into countless pieces, which scattered and faded away.

 1345 Secretive Plan

    Chapter 1345 - Secretive Plan


    Ancient God Luo Ling abruptly appeared and shattered Ancient God Nether Spring''s eye-bloodline technique with a single move. At the same time, a worldly energy belonging to a Rank Nine Ancient God swept through the area. This energy caused the attacks from the Rank Eight and Rank Seven Ancient Gods in the area to momentarily slow down.


    Rank Nine Ancient God!? Ancient God Nether Spring stared in shock at Ancient God Luo Ling.


    Ancient God Luo Ling clearly met up with Zhao Feng, but she never showed herself. This made him rather uneasy. He now finally understood; Ancient God Luo Ling had been in the Spacetime Robe Dimension, attempting to break through after taking Heavenly God Liquid.


    Zhao Feng''s group was abnormally strong, but with two Rank Nine Ancient Gods of the Heavenly Demon Hall present, the Heavenly Demon Hall had the upper hand. But now, Zhao Feng had a Rank Nine Ancient God, causing the balance of power to slightly tilt.


    "You actually broke into Rank Nine!?" The Thunderflame Ancient Dragon stared at Ancient God Luo Ling, its expression dark.


    It had exchanged blows with Ancient God Luo Ling earlier. Although Ancient God Luo Ling was not able to fight in a direct confrontation with it, the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon could do nothing to her if she put all her mind into fleeing. Now that Ancient God Luo Ling had reached Rank Nine, she would be even more troublesome.


    Brrrooom!


    Ancient God Luo Ling barely finished blocking Ancient God Nether Spring''s attack when all the other attacks finally landed. "Spacetime Barrier!" Zhao Feng used the Spacetime Robe to unleash layers of spatial blurs.


    At the same moment, Ancient God Luo Ling used her Eyes of Spacetime to unleash a white sphere of light. This sphere of light fused with Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Barrier, and the result enclosed the both of them.


    Already having worked together once, the two were even more in tune with each other this time.


    Boom!


    The moment the attacks of the Heavenly Demon Hall members touched this indistinct ball of light, they were affected by Spacetime Intent. Not only were the attacks weakened, but they were also slowed to a crawl.


    Zhao Feng and Ancient God Luo Ling seized this interval to destroy the attacks, one by one.


    The tacit understanding the two shared as they worked together alarmed everyone else. They became even more certain that these two were from the Spacetime Sacred Land, and they were members with an extremely close relationship as well. "Many thanks for your Heavenly God Liquid!" Ancient God Luo Ling gratefully said.


    She was originally a peak Rank Eight, so her chance of success was very large. Moreover, after breaking through with the help of the Heavenly God Liquid, she would not have the problem of her foundation being unstable.


    Crucially, now that she was Rank Nine, she no longer needed to patiently endure. She even had the power to pay another visit to the secret hall.


    "It was just a trade. It''s not like I helped you unconditionally," Zhao Feng casually replied.


    In exchange for helping Ancient God Luo Ling break into Rank Nine, Zhao Feng requested of Ancient God Luo Ling that she work together with Zhao Feng to kill his enemies.


    After running around and hiding for so long, Zhao Feng could finally vent his spleen.


    The two of them conversing as if no one was around caused the surrounding members of the Heavenly Demon Hall to grimace.


    "Heh, even if you''ve broken into Rank Nine, do you really think that you can escape this place alive?" Ancient God Nether Spring began to coldly chuckle.


    The people of the Spacetime Sacred Land are still just as arrogant and disdainful of others as always.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s scheme was finally exposed, but it would have little effect on the overarching situation, so Ancient God Nether Spring did not really care.


    "Surround them!" Ancient God Nether Spring immediately ordered.


    Boooooom!


    Powerful energies surged up around Zhao Feng and Ancient God Luo Ling, and the entire Heavenly Demon Hall seemed to be quaking. A moment later, several Divine Power attacks appeared around the pair.


    "You guys come out as well!" Zhao Feng called out


    Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Wang, and the little thieving cat appeared.


    After taking the Heavenly God Liquid, Zhao Wang smoothly reached Rank Seven, granting him the right to take part in Zhao Feng''s battle.


    "There''s still one more?" Ancient God Nether Spring''s brow creased.


    Although he had never seen Zhao Wang, Zhao Wang was only a Rank Seven Ancient God, so Ancient God Nether Spring did not place too much attention on him.


    Brrrooom!


    The Thunderflame Ancient Dragon charged at Ancient God Luo Ling, wreathed in lightning and fire.


    "Let me see if you''ve gotten any stronger after breaking into Rank Nine!" The Thunderflame Ancient Dragon was like a cloud of lightning and fire as it attacked.


    This energy was so terrifying that even Ancient God Luo Ling could only focus and dodge.


    Zhao Feng left the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon to Ancient God Luo Ling and sought his own opponent.


    "Kill!" With agility and speed, Zhao Feng rushed at a Rank Eight Ancient God.


    He activated the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror in his hand, creating seven chains of lightning that wrapped around his opponent''s soul.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist! Wind Lightning Eye Flame!" At the same time, Zhao Feng used his other hand to fire off a fist of dark energy while his left eye spat out lightning-fire.


    After struggling for a few moments, the Rank Eight Ancient God was defeated, his battered soul dragged into the Nine Lightning Sou²·Refining Mirror.


    "How could this be? He instantly killed a Rank Eight Ancient God!?"


    "Didn''t he only just break into Rank Eight? How could he be this powerful!?"


    Several nearby Ancient God experts blurted out in shock and immediately began to put some distance between themselves and Zhao Feng.


    The strength Zhao Feng displayed was simply terrifying. Other than Ancient God Nether Spring, the Devil Saint God Duo, and the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon, no one else could deal with him.


    At this moment, a Rank Seven Ancient God gave a miserable scream. A black hole suffused with Death energy had appeared over the Rank Seven Ancient God, and it was constantly draining away at his life.


    "Death Curse Art!" Zhao Wang waved around the Staff of Death Curse and unleashed powerful Curse energy.


    The Rank Seven Ancient God was immediately engulfed by wailing ghosts, and his condition continued to worsen. The Death Curse Art together with the Black Hole of Death allowed Zhao Wang to swiftly dispatch this Rank Seven Ancient God.


    "This Death God Eye descendant... so strong!"


    "The divine artifact in his hand seems to be the supreme-quality divine artifact, the Staff of Death Curse!" a Death God Eye descendant yelped in fear.


    The Staff of Death Curse was a supreme-quality offensive divine weapon that Death God Eye descendants could only dream about It could be used together with the Eye of Death, and it also contained Curse power that, when combined with Death Intent, produced unparalleled might.


    "Another supreme-quality divine artifact!?" Ancient God Nether Spring''s eyes flashed, and he once more felt that Zhao Feng was somewhat unfathomable.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    On the other end, a heaven-shaking and Destructive energy swept out as the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon became slightly larger and transformed into a wicked serpent dragon. Its every movement exuded dreadful power.


    "Each Ancient God is so powerful!" The Devil Saint God Duo were somewhat stunned.


    Besides Zhao Wang and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, there was also the even more mysterious little thieving cat, its techniques of such high level that no one could block them.


    "Let me deal with the Heaven''s Legacy Cat You take care of that brat!" Ancient God Nether Spring immediately called out.


    Although he hated Zhao Feng down to his bones, it was far more important to capture the Heaven''s Legacy Cat The Devil Saint God Duo were powerful, but they had too few techniques to deal with the Heaven''s Legacy Cat.


    "Brat, obediently accept your death!" Now that they knew their target, the Devil Saint God Duo immediately took action.


    But Zhao Feng completely ignored them.


    Swish! Swish!


    When he combined his Metal Lightning Radiance Wings and Spatial Blink, he could move at almost the same speed as the little thieving cat.


    After making his getaway, Zhao Feng leaped upon a Rank Seven Ancient God.


    "Nine Lightning Soul Refinement!" Activating the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, Zhao Feng didn''t even need two seconds to devour the Ancient God''s soul.


    This place was the Heavenly Demon Hall. The longer he delayed, the more people would show up. Thus, Zhao Feng''s plan was to pick off the weaklings first.


    "Damn! This brat has the Spacetime Robe! How can we catch him...?" The Devil Saint God Duo grimaced and began to find excuses for themselves.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng rushed at another person.


    "Hurry and stop him!" the Devil Saint God Duo cried out in alarm.


    But no one was capable of stopping Zhao Feng. By the time the Devil Saint God Duo arrived, another member had died at Zhao Feng''s hand.


    "Great!" Ancient God Luo Ling, who was battling with the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon, called out in joy.


    Originally, they were the weaker side, but the tides were slowly being reversed.


    On the other end, Ancient God Nether Spring, who was pursuing the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, was finding himself in a very thorny situation.


    "This way is no solution." Ancient God Nether Spring''s expression darkened.


    He had not imagined that Ancient God Luo Ling would break into Rank Nine, nor that Zhao Feng would have the assistance of a Death God Eye descendant


    Now that the two sides were fighting, Zhao Feng was relying on his peerless speed to kill off the weaklings. If this continued, the Heavenly Demon Hall''s advantage would gradually fade until, finally, they were the weaker party.


    "Master...." The Devil Saint God Duo had looks of suffering on their faces.


    They were both peak Rank Eight, but in terms of speed, they were inferior to Zhao Feng and were just being led around in circles. Moreover, Zhao Feng had a Rank Nine on his side, meaning that any spatial sealing arrays would be broken.


    "There''s no rush. I have a plan!" Ancient God Nether Spring messaged.


    The Heavenly Demon Hall was a peak four-star faction, but the strength of its upper echelon members was comparable to a five-star faction. It could be considered a hegemon among peak four-star factions.


    In addition, there was one thing that served as the Heavenly Demon Hall''s greatest support - the God Eye Fusion Art!


    However, the God Eye Fusion Art required time to use and could not be interrupted midway. Ancient God Nether Spring had long ago taken notice of Zhao Feng''s powerful observation abilities. Thus, this plan had to be carried out secretly. Zhao Feng could not be allowed to notice.


    The Heavenly Demon Hall had many members, so gathering together eight God Eye descendants was no problem at all. When the time came, that mysterious energy that lorded over all could instantly kill Zhao Feng and Ancient God Luo Ling.


    One had to remember that when Ancient God Profound Devil''s group of five used the God Eye Fusion Art, they were able to temporarily bind a Rank Nine Ancient God. If eight God Eye descendants used the same art, the power would be simply unimaginable.


    By now, Ancient God Nether Spring had already begun to implement his secret plan.


    The little thieving cat that was rushing about suddenly turned its eyes and threw out several bronze coins.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat immediately turned to Zhao Feng and made a few gestures.


    "Take that silver pill?" Zhao Feng froze for a moment, but a moment later, he understood what the little thieving cat meant.


    When plundering the western treasury, Zhao Feng stole three items in all. The first was a reverse scale of the Destruction Dragon Race, the second was the Heavenly God Liquid, and the third was a translucent pill densely covered in silver runes.


    The little thieving cat never explained what the pill was for, but now, the little thieving cat was telling Zhao Feng to take the pill. There had to be a reason for this, and it wouldn''t choose a crucial moment like this to hoodwink its master.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng immediately took the silver pill from his interspatial dimension.


    This pill did not exude any sort of unique aura or glow, but by just looking at it, one felt it was extremely unique and mysterious.

 1346 Divine Ancient Pill

    Chapter 1346 - Divine Ancient Pill


    "The Divine Ancient Pill...." Ancient God Nether Spring''s eyes dimmed.


    He was well aware of everything that was missing from the treasuries.


    "That''s the Divine Ancient Pill!"


    Some of the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall recognized the Divine Ancient Pill, and those that did appeared shocked and confused.


    "I heard that this pill is meant for the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes. After taking it, one can trigger bloodline atavism. There''s even a chance of awakening bloodline memories...." a Rank Eight Ancient God stared at the pill in Zhao Feng''s hand and whispered.


    Bloodlines persisted because the bloodline ancestor managed to cultivate to a heaven-defying level. After they reached this level, they used some unique method to preserve their bloodline power so that it could be passed down. The bloodline could not only confer strength and other abilities to those who possessed it, but the bloodline memories of these supreme ancestors as well.


    There were quite a few records regarding such things in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Some expert would suddenly awaken their bloodline memories and obtain some miraculous ability, from that point onward becoming invincible among those of the same cultivation level.


    This was also why all the experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods strenuously worked to improve their bloodlines, hoping that they could trigger the highest level of atavism.


    But all this depended on one''s luck and fortune.


    There were also many peak experts in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods who managed to achieve the highest level of atavism for their bloodline but still failed to awaken any bloodline memories.


    The Divine Ancient Pill was developed by the Heavenly Demon Hall. It could advance the atavism level of one''s eye- bloodline and awaken bloodline memories.


    The rumors painted the Divine Ancient Pill as having absurd abilities, a priceless treasure. In truth, this was not the case. The cost of creating the Divine Ancient Pill was extremely high, but at present, those who consumed it did not show any particularly obvious signs of bloodline atavism, and they certainly hadn''t awakened any bloodline memories.


    For this reason, this pill was actually extremely low in value. The Heavenly Demon Hall would naturally not spend a vast amount of resources further developing it. All they did was keep around a single pill.


    This pill doesn''t seem to be very valuable.... Zhao Feng said to himself.


    If this pill was priceless, the surrounding members of the Heavenly Demon Hall wouldn''t be showing their current expressions.


    However, Zhao Feng put these things aside and took the pill.


    "At a time like this, what point could there be in taking the Divine Ancient Pill?"


    "He''s probably mistaken the Divine Ancient Pill for some strength-increasing pill. After all, the outside world knows nothing of the pills developed by the Heavenly Demon Hall!"


    Several of the members who knew about the Divine Ancient Pill jeered.


    "Although I don''t know why you''re taking the Divine Ancient Pill at a time like this, let me tell you that not even the best descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes experienced much effect from taking this pill, and you''re not even a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes." Ancient God Nether Spring sneered. He had already determined that Zhao Feng would experience no effects from taking the Divine Ancient Pill.


    "So it was that kind of medicine?" Zhao Feng could guess from the words of others the purpose of this pill.


    If his God''s Spiritual Eye was the Ninth God Eye, it was no different from one of the Eight Great God Eyes. This meant that this pill''s effects would not be reduced on his eye-bloodline. But from the looks on the faces of the Heavenly Demon Hall members, this pill wasn''t that tempting even for descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng felt a faint pulse from the ball of dreamy silver in his God Eye Dimension.


    Normally, Zhao Feng kept his Origin energy sealed, but at this moment, the Origin energy in the ball of dreamy silver was reacting.


    Bzzzz!


    The pulse was getting stronger and stronger as if it was about to break open the seal.


    "Since that''s the case, I''ll just undo it!"


    Zhao Feng immediately removed the seal on the ball of silver. A moment later, the sphere of silver exploded with a dazzling and dreamy light


    Bzzzz!


    All the God Eye descendants present immediately sensed an indistinct God Eye energy.


    "God Eye energy... but how!?"


    All the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall, as well as Ancient God Luo Ling, turned in alarm toward Zhao Feng. That God Eye energy was not very strong, but it was all too real.


    "Could his eye also be a God Eye? After taking the Divine Ancient Pill, perhaps it completely awakened into a true God Eye?" a Rank Eight Ancient God with more experience than most speculated in shock.


    Even though he was the one to state this theory, even he didn''t believe it.


    "That''s impossible! This brat must have had some lucky encounter that stained him with the energy of one of the Eight Great God Eyes. While taking the Divine Ancient Pill, he intentionally released this energy to mislead us!" Ancient God Nether Spring immediately yelled.


    All God Eye descendants firmly believed that true God Eyes were their progenitors. Ordinary God Eye descendants felt nothing but respect for true God Eyes. He could not allow the God Eye energy exuded by Zhao Feng to affect the morale of the Heavenly Demon Hall members. Besides, he truly didn''t believe that Zhao Feng possessed a God Eye.


    In addition, the God Eye Fusion was ready, and victory would soon be his.


    "That must be what''s going on. This kid had some sort of lucky encounter...."


    "No wonder his eye-bloodline techniques are so formidable even though he''s not a descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes. He must have obtained some sort of treasure or legacy related to the God Eyes!"


    Ancient God Nether Spring''s explanation, though just a theory, was extremely convincing. After all, it was simply too ridiculous and absurd for Zhao Feng''s eye to be a true God Eye.


    But Zhao Feng paid little attention to all this chatter. The dreamy radiance unleashed by the silver ball seemed to change something about him.


    His mind was suddenly clear and calm as placid water. His thoughts became much nimbler, and the most basic vision abilities granted to him by the God''s Spiritual Eye seemed to be greatly boosted. For instance, his see-through ability could now see through many more things, and it could see much farther as well.


    "What''s going on here?" Zhao Feng was stunned. Was this the effect of the Divine Ancient Pill?


    He was confident that, if he stopped fighting and entered secluded cultivation, he would definitely make significant gains. "Die!" The Devil Saint God Duo received Ancient God Nether Spring''s order and attacked Zhao Feng.


    Although Zhao Feng reacted very slowly to this, his movements were much faster than normal.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng dodged and pulled away from the Devil Saint God Duo.


    "Since I can''t quietly comprehend my powers, I''ll comprehend them through battle!" Zhao Feng''s eyes sparkled as he charged at a Rank Seven Ancient God.


    At the same time, his left eye pulsed with terrifying Eye Intent.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World! Wind Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng used two eye-bloodline techniques consecutively, and the speed at which he unleashed them surprised even himself.


    Kacrack!


    The dumbstruck Rank Seven Ancient God was immediately struck by Soul lightning-fire. After a moment of painful screaming, the Rank Seven Ancient God died.


    Now that the seal had been undone, Zhao Feng''s God Eye was much stronger. Ordinary Rank Seven Ancient Gods didn''t have a hope of resisting.


    "How strange!" After killing this person, Zhao Feng paused for a moment.


    The sensation he had when he used those eye-bloodline techniques was very strange. Those two eye-bloodline techniques immediately finished building up power and were fired off so quickly that Zhao Feng still didn''t think this was all real. It was like those eye-bloodline techniques were fired off the moment he thought about using them.


    Perhaps it''s because those two eye-bloodline techniques are of a lower level. This was the only explanation Zhao Feng could think of.


    The eye-bloodline techniques were too low-level, and he was also extremely familiar with them, so they were unleashed at a far faster speed.


    Besides that though, in his current condition, he developed an even deeper understanding of the two eye-bloodline techniques he used just now.


    The Wind Lightning Eye Flame was a low-level eye-bloodline technique. It was nearly complete and had little room for improvement


    Forbidden Illusion Lost World was also rather low-level, but it still had room to grow in the field of illusion arts. For example, its power could be improved through mental assault techniques or through techniques that triggered heart demons.


    At this thought, Zhao Feng took a part of his mind and began to modify Forbidden Illusion Lost World.


    "Devil Execution!"


    "Holy Light Fairy Spirit Sword!"


    As Zhao Feng was thinking, the Devil Saint God Duo launched another attack. Two massive swords of energy, one black and one white, swept unstoppably toward Zhao Feng.


    "I''ll play around with you two for a while!" Zhao Feng stared forward, his eyes surging with chaotic energy.


    A moment later, gloomy stars appeared around Zhao Feng, exerting a powerful pressure.


    Kacrack!


    A moment later, a twisted ball of dark energy collided with the attacks of the Devil Saint God Duo.


    Boom! Bang!


    The attacks fiercely clashed for a few moments and then mutually disintegrated.


    "How could this be? This brat''s eye-bloodline technique is actually stronger than our combined attack!" The Devil Saint God Duo were utterly shocked.


    Zhao Feng previously did nothing but dodge, never trying to take any of their attacks, but this one exchange gave the duo a severe shock.


    "It seems like it was just a misperception," Zhao Feng ignored the Devil Saint God Duo and muttered to himself.


    This time, his eye-bloodline technique wasn''t instantly unleashed.


    But even though he had verified just now that the previous sensation was a misperception, Zhao Feng still wasn''t sure.


    Within the God Eye Dimension, the sphere of dreamy silver slowly turned, emitting a dreamy and dazzling light that seemed to contain every possible color in the world. Not even Zhao Feng noticed that his soul was constantly being modified by this light


    "Damn! His eye-bloodline techniques are too strong!"


    "Is he not afraid that his bloodline won''t be able to endure his eye being used like that?"


    Some of the lower-level Ancient Gods had expressions of fear. They began to back up, not daring to get too close to Zhao Feng.


    "Sir, is it still not ready?" an Ancient God who knew Ancient God Nether Spring''s plan messaged him.


    If this continued, the other Ancient Gods would all be killed, and when that time came, not even Ancient God Nether Spring would have the strength to oppose Zhao Feng''s group.


    "Mm? Not good!" Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly sensed something, and he immediately peered far into the distance.


    After peering through many objects, Zhao Feng finally saw eight people concealed within a domain.


    Eight people.... The God Eye Fusion Art! Zhao Feng suddenly grimaced.


    He had always been on guard against this move. The moment his enemy intended to use it, he was prepared to interrupt it. However, Ancient God Nether Spring carried out this plan in secret, beyond Zhao Feng''s detection range. They had already begun to use the God Eye Fusion Art. He had to stop it now! Swish!


    Upon making this discovery, Zhao Feng immediately blinked away.


    "Hurry and stop him!" Ancient God Nether Spring bellowed.


    He had not expected for Zhao Feng to notice his plan so soon. There would most likely be no problems at this point; by the time Zhao Feng had discovered the eight, they had already begun to use the God Eye Fusion Art. If all went smoothly, Zhao Feng would fail in this attempt However, there was always a chance, and Ancient God Nether Spring didn''t want to take that bet.


    Whoosh!


    The Thunderflame Ancient Dragon cast aside Ancient God Luo Ling and pursued Zhao Feng like a bolt of lightning.


    Inside the concealment array, the Origin energy of the eight God Eye descendants floated in the air. The eight God Eye descendants formed spells with their hands, controlling their Origin energies and fusing them together.

 1347 Out of Control

    Chapter 1347 - Out of Control


    Once the eight God Eye descendants began to fuse their Origin energies together, the incredible pulses of power could no longer be obscured by the concealment array.


    "The God Eye Fusion Art!"


    "So Elder Nether Spring already had a plan!"


    The members of the Heavenly Demon Hall who had not known about this immediately became excited.


    All of them were well aware of the God Eye Fusion Art''s power. Once the eight succeeded in forming that whole new energy, these intruders would all be finished.


    However, this secret art had one gigantic flaw: it could not be interrupted while it was being performed. But now, everything was settled. Even if Zhao Feng rushed over at this point, he could not stop those eight He was just sending himself to his death.


    It''s over! Ancient God Luo Ling was stunned.


    This was the first time she had felt so threatened since she broke into Rank Nine.


    She had also witnessed the power of this secret art and dreaded it. Once this secret art was complete, it could practically decide the outcome of this battle all by itself.


    Ancient God Luo Ling began to hesitate. She would still have time if she fled now, but Zhao Feng would be doomed. If she went to impede the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon to buy Zhao Feng time, she might die herself if Zhao Feng failed.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Luo Ling hesitated for only a few moments before charging forward.


    "Stop!" Ancient God Luo Ling''s body became indistinct, seemingly fusing with space itself as she pursued the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon.


    "Void Spirit Slash!" As Ancient God Luo Ling closed the distance with the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon, she unleashed a crescent wave of energy with her silver scimitar.


    But as a Samsara Immortal Body, the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon ignored this attack and put all its focus into chasing after Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng was flying at the very front, his body zipping through the air, but the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon was right behind him. It was as if Zhao Feng would be caught if he stopped for even a moment. As a result, Zhao Feng had no opportunity to use Instant Movement.


    The Origin energies of the eight were slowly fusing together. Zhao Feng pushed his left eye to the limit as he attempted to unleash an eye-bloodline technique.


    All he needed to do was heavily injure a few of them to interrupt the process. Of the eight God Eye descendants, only two were Rank Eight Ancient Gods. The rest were around Rank Seven.


    Although Zhao Feng also sensed that there was a peak Rank Eight standing guard by the eight, he was confident that this person would find it very difficult to react to the sudden firing of his eye-bloodline technique.


    But just when he was prepared to use his eye-bloodline technique, Zhao Feng discovered that he couldn''t lock onto the eight people.


    "Haha, we know all about your eye-bloodline techniques! It''s not just a concealment array around us, but also a spatial disruption array." A Spacetime God Eye descendant in the group of eight noticed that Zhao Feng was building up an eye- bloodline technique but had yet to unleash it and immediately broke into laughter.


    "Damn! How could it be like this?" Ancient God Luo Ling''s expression darkened.


    "Heheh!" The many Heavenly Demon Hall members revealed victorious smiles, particularly Ancient God Nether Spring, who was very proud of his plan.


    "So that''s what''s going on...." Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    He was forced to admit that Ancient God Nether Spring was very meticulous in his arrangements. Even if Zhao Feng launched a long-distance attack now, the peak Rank Eight Ancient God standing guard would have many methods to block it


    Is there really nothing I can do? Zhao Feng was extremely unwilling.


    The moment the enemy''s secret art succeeded, Zhao Feng would only be able to rely on the strength of the Blood Flame Qilin Race to end the crisis. He wasn''t even sure just how terrifying the energy produced by these eight God Eye descendants would be. Perhaps only the full mobilization of the entire Blood Flame Qilin Race would be enough to resolve the problem.


    As Zhao Feng was thinking, the ball of dreamy silver in his God Eye Dimension began to spin faster, exuding an even more dazzling and dreamy Origin energy.


    No, there should still be a way! Zhao Feng focused on the Origin energies coalescing over the heads of the eight people.


    The Origin energy of my God''s Spiritual Eye can counter their energy. Perhaps I can find a weakness....


    Zhao Feng clearly remembered the scene of when he saw the God Eye Fusion Art first being used. At the time, Sacred King Samsara controlled that mysterious energy, but when the Origin energy of the God''s Spiritual Eye appeared, Zhao Feng became the controller.


    The second time the God Eye Fusion Art was used - in the Heaven''s Legacy Race ruins - the combination of his Origin energy and his eye-bloodline techniques was able to deal a destructive blow to the energy created by the God Eye Fusion Art of Ancient God Profound Devil''s group, causing them to suffer serious losses.


    If there was anything that could counter the God Eye Fusion Art, it was the power of the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    All or nothing! A hint of madness and excitement appeared on Zhao Feng''s face.


    A moment later, all the Origin energy in the God Eye Dimension was mobilized and gathered in his left eye. In a flash, Zhao Feng''s left eye began to exude a dazzling radiance, shining with all the colors in the world.


    "God Eye energy!" All the God Eye descendants present once more clearly perceived the God Eye energy on Zhao Feng''s body.


    However, all of them still firmly believed that Zhao Feng had probably just come into contact with a God Eye before or obtained some treasure linked to a God Eye.


    "What''s he doing?" The pursuing Thunderflame Ancient Dragon appeared startled. It was closest to Zhao Feng, and the multicolored light conning from that fog made its heart shudder with helplessness.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" Zhao Feng gathered up all his Origin energy and unleashed a mighty eye-bloodline technique.


    Earthshaking Nova was a technique that gathered together various kinds of energy and used their chaotic collisions to create a formidable explosive force. But at this moment, the only energy inside the Earthshaking Nova was the Origin energy of Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye.


    Boom!


    A starry sphere of dreamy light appeared above Zhao Feng and then blinked away, charging straight toward the eight people using the God Eye Fusion Art.


    At this moment, the peak Rank Eight Ancient God standing guard stepped forward. His mission was to use every method possible to protect the eight members using the secret art.


    "What sort of attack is this?" The eight members performing the secret art saw that dreamy star rapidly approaching them, and a feeling of helplessness surged up within them.


    At this moment, one of the eight roared, "Not good, the fusion is unstable!"


    The others also noticed this abnormality.


    Those Origin energies that were on the verge of fusing into a whole new energy suddenly began to pulse. For some reason, they suddenly found it difficult to control their own Origin energies.


    "Keep going! We have to finish the fusion!" the strongest of the group, a Rank Eight Ancient God, immediately ordered.


    This situation would only occur with people who were not used to performing this secret art. However, all of them were specially selected by Ancient God Nether Spring because they were extremely familiar with the God Eye Fusion Art. How could this sort of thing occur with them? If they failed, they wouldn''t have the face to see the upper echelon members of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    The eight of them strenuously worked to control their Origin energies and fuse them together, but they discovered that the dissonance was only intensifying, and their energies were becoming even more uncontrollable.


    "How could this be?" Fear appeared on a God Eye descendant''s face.


    "Could it be...? That dreamy star!" a person cried out in alarm.


    The closer Zhao Feng''s dreamy star got, the more difficult to control the Origin energies became and the harder they were to fuse together.


    "How could something like this happen?" the Rank Eight Ancient God commanding the group asked in disbelief.


    There was no way to break the God Eye Fusion Art, and the power produced by it had never run into any counter. But at this moment, an abnormality had appeared.


    Boom!


    The dreamy star was about to make impact. The peak Rank Eight Ancient God immediately burned his Divine Power and activated his defensive divine artifact and other defensive techniques.


    At this moment, the eight God Eye descendants behind him began to scream.


    "Not good, it''s out of control...!"


    "Can''t control it!"


    All eight God Eye descendants simultaneously grimaced.


    The moment Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique landed, their Origin energies completely broke free of their control. This essentially meant that the God Eye Fusion Art had suffered a terrible attack and was interrupted.


    Brrrooom!


    The out-of-control Origin energies began to ram against each other, creating a destructive energy.


    The peak Rank Eight Ancient God preparing to stop the dreamy star never predicted that something like this would happen behind him.


    "Run!" The peak Rank Eight cast everything else aside and began to run.


    The eight God Eye descendants also began to run the moment the God Eye Fusion Art failed.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The dreamy star impacted with the other eight Origin energies.


    To everyone''s surprise, these eight Origin energies instantly disappeared. Like fire encountering water, that unbridled power vanished without a trace.


    After annihilating the Origin energies, the dreamy star exploded, creating a terrifying storm of energy that destroyed everything in the vicinity.


    Once the storm settled, all that remained was a gigantic crater. Nothing was left of the eight God Eye descendants and the peak Rank Eight, not even a body.


    "Success!" After a few moments of shock, Zhao Feng cried out in joy.


    He also had not imagined that mobilizing so much Origin energy would throw the God Eye Fusion Art into such chaos and ultimately make it go out of control.


    Wasn''t he essentially the bane of the God Eye Fusion Art? If the Heavenly Demon Hall members tried to use this secret art again, Zhao Feng could immediately make it go out of control and create a chaotic explosion that would annihilate all the users.


    All the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall seemed to have been petrified, the shock fixed eternally onto their faces.


    A few moments later, they exploded into an uproar. The God Eye Fusion Art was suddenly interrupted, and the users and their protector had all been killed. No one ever would''ve expected this result


    "How could this be? Why did something like this happen to the God Eye Fusion Art that was on the verge of completion!?" Ancient God Nether Spring suddenly roared in anger.


    All of this was simply too illogical. He was on the verge of a major victory when a mishap occurred. It was like a cooked duck suddenly flying off.


    "What else do you have? Take it all out!" Zhao Feng suddenly turned around and placed his hands behind his back, adopting an extremely haughty posture.


    He had utterly crushed the trump card the Heavenly Demon Hall took so much time to prepare. The Heavenly Demon Hall''s morale was at an all-time low, and in terms of fighting strength, they were also no match for Zhao Feng''s group.


    "Damn... just how did you manage to break the God Eye Fusion Art?" Ancient God Nether Spring fearfully stared at Zhao Feng.

 1348 God Lord

    Chapter 1348 - God Lord


    Outside the Heavenly Demon Hall, above the Arctic Abyss, the Spacetime Sacred Land''s forces were in a stalemate with the upper echelon members of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    "What was that just now?" The gray-scaled elder''s pitch-black eyes twinkled as he glanced at the Heavenly Demon Hall down below.


    Just now, an inexplicable power erupted from the Heavenly Demon Hall. He even wondered if it was a trump card prepared by the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "What happened? Ancient God Scarlet Firmament''s face darkened.


    When sensing that unknown strength just now, even his Eye of Spacetime trembled.


    He knew nothing of the specific situation, but he was sure that Ancient God Luo Ling wasn''t the one to unleash that mysterious energy. For this reason, Ancient God Scarlet Firmament was somewhat worried about Ancient God Luo Ling''s safety.


    Within the Heavenly Demon Hall, Ancient God Nether Spring was staring hard at Zhao Feng, the loathing in his heart indescribable.


    This intruder had left the Heavenly Demon Hall in shambles and ruined all of Ancient God Nether Spring''s plans. He had been defeated - defeated by Zhao Feng.


    After breaking the God Eye Fusion Art, Zhao Feng began to see how the God''s Spiritual Eye was doing. Just now, he used up an enormous amount of Origin energy.


    The Origin energy within the dreamy silver ball had slightly stabilized and was no longer pulsing as fiercely as it was before. From what he could see, the dreamy silver ball wouldn''t need long to return to normal.


    But Zhao Feng had a feeling that taking the Divine Ancient Pill had caused the God''s Spiritual Eye to change something else about him, though he had yet to notice what this was.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng put the matter aside for now. He needed to deal with the present situation first


    Ancient God Luo Ling, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Wang, and the little thieving cat simultaneously attacked. Following Zhao Feng''s orders, they killed the weaker ones first.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng blinked toward a Rank Eight Ancient God, the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror in his hand crackling with electricity. Seven chains of lightning shot out and moved to ensnare the Ancient God''s soul.


    "Death Corrosion!" This Rank Eight Ancient God was a Death God Eye descendant. He immediately used a Death eye- bloodline technique to resist the power of the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    But Zhao Feng would not give him the chance.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    The Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame instantly finished forming in his left eye and shot forward.


    At this moment, with Zhao Feng''s Origin energy unsealed, his Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame had far more power than normal.


    Kacrack!


    The Rank Eight Ancient God''s soul was engulfed in boundless lightning. If not for the fact that Zhao Feng used the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror to reduce the power of his attack, the Rank Eight Ancient God would have been instantly slain.


    Swish!


    The chains pulled ʲle Ancient God''s soul into the Nine Lightning Sou²·Refining Mirror


    On the other side, Ancient God Luo Ling was much faster than the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon, so while she was fighting with it, she had time to attack other lower-level Ancient Gods.


    And the little thieving cat was even more inexplicable in its movements. Even Ancient God Nether Spring found it impossible to defend himself.


    In just a few moments, many members of the Heavenly Demon Hall were killed, leaving only a few people. The weaker ones had panicked expressions as they warily looked around them.


    "Gather together!" Ancient God Nether Spring ordered.


    In a direct confrontation, they were no match for Zhao Feng''s group. Moreover, Zhao Feng''s group was operating on a strategy of killing the weak first.


    In addition, they could no longer use the God Eye Fusion Art. Everyone had seen that those eight who used the God Eye Fusion Art had lost control of the secret art and were wiped out of existence.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The remaining members gathered around Ancient God Nether Spring.


    "Damn!" the Devil Saint God Duo shouted in reluctance and resentment. Ever since they became Ancient God Nether Spring''s Samsara Immortal Bodies, they had never been humiliated so badly.


    The remaining members of the Heavenly Demon Hall were also depressed and infuriated.


    "Retreat to the core area!" Ancient God Nether Spring led the remaining members in a fighting retreat.


    The core area was an important area of the Heavenly Demon Hall and contained many traps. There were also many forbidden mechanical weapons around the core area''s secret hall that were capable of killing Rank Nine Ancient Gods. As long as they returned to the secret hall, they would be safe.


    "Gathering together? Is it so I can more easily kill all of you?" Zhao Feng sneered.


    His Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame could be fired off the moment it locked onto its target, and it had no trajectory. These people gathering together made it more difficult for them to move around and easier for Zhao Feng to lock onto them.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng immediately set eyes on a person and fired off his Tribulation Lightning eye- bloodline technique.


    Kacrack!


    This Ancient God, incapable of resisting, was immediately slayed.


    This sight had the other Ancient Gods trembling in fear.


    "Void Spirit Slash!" Ancient God Luo Ling''s icy face showed a faint hint of excitement.


    Earlier, she was forced to run around and hide as she was hunted down, but now, she had the chance to hunt down the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    Ancient God Luo Ling''s attacks were also extremely powerful, with only Ancient God Nether Spring and the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon capable of stopping them.


    This area was rather far from the core area''s secret hall. By the time the group had gone halfway, all the other members of the Heavenly Demon Hall were killed. The only ones left were Ancient God Nether Spring, the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon, and the Devil Saint God Duo. One could also say that only Ancient God Nether Spring was left, because the other three were all his Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    But Zhao Feng, Ancient God Luo Ling, and the others had also greatly taxed themselves. Zhao Feng was using his Origin energy this entire time, and his Eye Intent had also been almost completely exhausted after repeatedly using so many eye- bloodline techniques. Ancient God Luo Ling had only just broken into Rank Nine, and her reserves were not as firm or as deep as the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon and Ancient God Nether Spring.


    "You should forgive people whenever possible, and besides, you''ve already obtained so much from the Heavenly Demon Hall...!" Ancient God Nether Spring hatefully glared at Zhao Feng.


    Although Ancient God Luo Ling had the highest cultivation of the two intruders, Zhao Feng was the most terrifying one, and he was also the archcriminal behind their current situation.


    "I got those with my own strength." Zhao Feng was unmoved.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, strength decided all. The weak had no authority to speak. If Zhao Feng did not have his current strength and was surrounded by the Heavenly Demon Hall, would they have let him go? Thus, Zhao Feng''s killing intent toward these people was unchanged.


    "I''ll kill you two first!" Zhao Feng stared at the Devil Saint God Duo.


    "Nine Lightning Soul Refinement!" Seven chains of lightning shot out of the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    "Nooo...!" the Devil Saint God Duo cried out in alarm. The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror was a divine artifact that countered Samsara Immortal Bodies. Once their souls were extracted, they would truly be finished.


    "Stop!" Ancient God Nether Spring and the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon both attempted to intervene.


    Although the Devil Saint God Duo were both peak Rank Eight, when they worked together, they had the power to contend against a Rank Nine. They could be considered one of the most powerful fighting forces under Ancient God Nether Spring''s command.


    "Celestial Wind Void Spirit Slash!" Ancient God Luo Ling immediately took action, engulfing the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon with rapidly spinning silver blades.


    The little thieving cat used its rune-covered silver dagger, aiming powerful Sealing energy to stop Ancient God Nether Spring.


    Swish!


    The seven chains bound the Devil Saint God Duo together.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng fired a Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame at the pair. The Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame fused with his Origin energy was extremely powerful. Even though the two of them took the blow together, they found it difficult to resist this might.


    "Collect!" Zhao Feng fully activated the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, dragging the weakened souls of the Devil Saint God Duo into it.


    In doing all this, Zhao Feng used up the last of his Eye Intent


    The only ones left were the Thunderflame Ancient Dragon and Ancient God Nether Spring. Both of them were Rank Nine Ancient Gods as well as Samsara Immortal Bodies, making them rather difficult to kill.


    But even if they couldn''t be killed, they couldn''t be allowed to have a good time. Zhao Feng''s group pursued these last two Ancient Gods, launching powerful attack after attack.


    Even though they both had Samsara Immortal Bodies, they could still feel the pain of their bodies being torn apart. The attacks of Zhao Feng''s group again and again tore at their bodies, and their screams echoed through the corridors.


    Over the Arctic Abyss, the battle between Ancient God Scarlet Firmament and the gray-scaled elder had intensified.


    At a certain moment, the gray-scaled elder received a message from Ancient God Nether Spring. His face immediately contorted in rage. Black clouds surged and roared, expressing his fierce emotions.


    "To think that it would turn out like this," the gray-scaled elder indifferently spoke.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Cat had fled, the treasuries had been plundered, and the Heavenly Demon Hall was in shambles. Ancient God Nether Spring failed to deal with two intruders! From Ancient God Nether Spring''s description, the gray-scaled elder naturally assumed that these two intruders were members of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "Mm?" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament''s expression flickered.


    His opponent had turned strange and appeared extremely unhappy. From the elder''s rage, Ancient God Scarlet Firmament could guess that Ancient God Luo Ling was probably fine.


    "Don''t think that just because you belong to the Spacetime Sacred Land, you can do what you want!" the gray-scaled old man coldly said.


    Ancient God Nether Spring''s report made him furious, but this would not change the ultimate result.


    "It''s you who thinks that you can do whatever you want!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament furiously retorted.


    "I truly did underestimate you. I didn''t think your Spacetime Sacred Land had someone this formidable!" The gray-scaled elder gave a sinister smile. The person he was referring to was naturally Zhao Feng.


    Ancient God Scarlet Firmament put on a strange expression. He was under the impression that the Heavenly Demon Hall still had an expert standing guard inside, preventing Ancient God Luo Ling from performing her mission smoothly, but the gray-scaled elder seemed to be implying that the Heavenly Demon Hall had suffered a major loss.


    "But it''s all over. All of you will die here!" the gray-scaled old man continued.


    After saying this, the elder began to rapidly retreat, ceasing to battle with Ancient God Scarlet Firmament.


    "What do you mean?" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament looked around, a bad feeling surging up in his mind. Suddenly, he sensed lethal danger.


    He turned around and looked behind him. He saw that the distant sky had turned pitch-black, awash with Death energy and devoid of life. In the middle of these endless black clouds was a rather inconspicuous figure.


    The moment he saw this figure, Ancient God Scarlet Firmament''s soul trembled, and his face was stricken with fear.


    Swish!


    A moment later, the black figure appeared above the Arctic Abyss, right between the upper echelon members of the two factions.


    At this moment, everyone present felt like the world was shuddering. A divine might that could not be defied was sweeping over the world. All of them vomited blood, their souls uncontrollably trembling in fear.


    The world became pitch-black, and in this world of black fog, everyone felt like they were no longer in control of their own destinies.


    "God Lord!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament turned ghastly pale as he stared fearfully at the black figure in the center of this world of darkness.

 1349 The Power of a God Lord

    Chapter 1349 - The Power of a God Lord


    Inside the Heavenly Demon Hall, Zhao Feng''s and Ancient God Nether Spring''s groups - the pursuer and pursued - all suddenly trembled. All of them sensed that a dreadful power was hanging over their heads.


    "What''s going on? Is this mighty energy coming from outside!?" Ancient God Luo Ling blurted out in shock.


    This mighty energy alone, which had to seep in through the external defensive array, was enough to instill dread in all of them. It was difficult to imagine just how terrifying the expert was that exuded this energy.


    "This energy...! Haha, you''re all finished!" The fleeing Ancient God Nether Spring suddenly stopped and began to madly laugh.


    An energy that could make even a Rank Nine Ancient God like him feel fear, the Death energy, and the reaction from his eyes; Ancient God Nether Spring was sure that a God Lord expert, sent by their superiors, had arrived at the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    Upon capturing the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, the Heavenly Demon Hall had swiftly reported the matter to their superiors. The matter of the Heaven''s Legacy Cat was apparently of such importance that a God Lord had been sent to pick it up.


    Of course, this God Lord would also pick up all the treasures and research results the Heavenly Demon Hall had gathered as well.


    "What''s going on?" Zhao Feng was uneasy, but he had consumed too much Eye Intent. Peering through the vast confines of the Heavenly Demon Hall to see what was going on outside in the Arctic Abyss was simply impossible.


    "Haha, His Excellency the God Lord has descended. You troublemakers, do you think you can still survive?" Ancient God Nether Spring fearlessly revealed what was going on.


    All he wanted to see was the fearful expressions on the faces of Zhao Feng''s group.


    "God Lord!?" Ancient God Luo Ling was stunned, and she immediately sensed that the situation was not good.


    The strongest member dispatched on this mission was Ancient God Scarlet Firmament Since they were members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, this God Lord probably wouldn''t make things too difficult for them, but as for their mission...


    "A God Lord has come!?" Zhao Feng''s body shivered.


    On the surface, the movers and shakers of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were all Ancient Gods. God Lords were supreme experts that appeared once every several hundred thousand years, perhaps even only once every million years. It was rumored that a God Lord in a moment of anger could destroy the world.


    Even someone as calm as Zhao Feng began to panic at this time. Unlike Ancient God Luo Ling, he did not have the Spacetime Sacred Land to cover for him. He was backed by the Spiritual Race, which was much less intimidating than a God Realm Sacred Land. Moreover, Zhao Feng had wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Demon Hall, and not even he was sure how many of its members he had killed. This God Lord had no reason whatsoever to let him go.


    Even if Zhao Feng used all his trump cards, he wouldn''t be able to harm even a hair of a God Lord''s head, and some of his secrets, if exposed, might even earn him the God Lord''s attention.


    His only chance of survival lay in pretending to be a member of the Spacetime Sacred Land and getting help from Ancient God Luo Ling. However, if Zhao Feng emerged and met with the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, there was a chance of him being exposed.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out several resources that could replenish the soul and immediately consumed them. At the same time, he put away the Spacetime Robe and sealed his Origin energy.


    "God Lord!?" The flames on the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s body immediately vanished, and it transformed into a black-scaled man with a fearful expression.


    Its master was Zhao Feng, and even Zhao Feng found it difficult to protect himself in this situation, meaning that the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was in even greater danger.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was extremely unwilling at this time; it had attained a higher cultivation than ever before and had even obtained a reverse scale of the Destruction Dragon Race, giving it a chance to strive for the peak of the Heavenly Divine Realm, and perhaps even make an attempt at becoming a God Lord.


    In the outside world, heaven and earth were pitch-black - a world of endless darkness and death. Those within did not have the power to determine whether they lived or died.


    Everyone trembled in fear, fighting against the immense pressure as they stared at the person in the center of this world of death, the man who controlled their fates - who determined whether they lived or died.


    He had a head of white hair, and his solemn and serene face exuded majesty. His pitch-black eyes were like black holes of death that sought to devour all life.


    "It''s a God Lord!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament stared at the man as he blurted out in shock.


    Only a God Lord could possess such power.


    In addition, Ancient God Scarlet Firmament sensed that this person was no ordinary God Lord. The moment this God Lord appeared in the region, all things were under his beck and call. Even using Spacetime Intent to try and flee was extremely difficult for Ancient God Scarlet Firmament.


    "How could a God Lord descend!?" The other members of the Spacetime Sacred Land were stunned by Ancient God Scarlet Firmament''s words.


    Deep within this pitch-black world, they could sense that their life was slowly being drained away, and this was only the energy that this person unconsciously emitted.


    "Lord Heavenly Solitude, I did not think that you would personally come!" The gray-scaled elder respectfully bowed.


    At the same time, all the other Heavenly Demon Hall members kneeled.


    This faction truly isn''t simple. They actually have such a powerful God Lord! Ancient God Scarlet Firmament mentally muttered in shock.


    "You are Scarlet Firmament?" God Lord Heavenly Solitude suddenly gazed at Ancient God Scarlet Firmament


    This casual glance exerted boundless pressure on Ancient God Scarlet Firmament. Deathly black mist began to unconsciously gather around Ancient God Scarlet Firmament, increasing the rate at which his vitality was devoured.


    "Yes!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament harnessed all his strength to resist the worldly energy exerted by God Lord Heavenly Solitude as he met his gaze.


    They were members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, and he himself was the disciple of the Spacetime God. A normal God Lord would not dare to do anything to him. Moreover, this God Lord did not appear to be an expert of a God Realm Sacred Land.


    Thus, Ancient God Scarlet Firmament was not afraid. He was confident that he could give enough reasons that God Lord Heavenly Solitude would not make too much trouble for his group.


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude gazed at Ancient God Scarlet Firmament and faintly smiled.


    Whoosh!


    He suddenly extended a hand, his palm faced downward to the Heavenly Demon Hall in the depths of the Arctic Abyss. The palm began to emit Origin energy that an ordinary person would find impossible to detect.


    A moment later, the entire Arctic Abyss began to fiercely shudder. In fact, it seemed like the entire world was trembling, on the verge of cracking apart.


    "This is the power of a God Lord? This is capable of changing the face of the world...." an Ancient God of the Spacetime Sacred Land stared with wide eyes as he murmured in shock.


    Everything beneath them was quaking. The mountains, rivers, and earth were all breaking apart.


    "What''s he trying to do?" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament''s face tensed. He felt that this God Lord was not acting logically. "Rise!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude murmured.


    Rumble!


    The world beneath them shattered, and then they saw an enormous black sphere of energy slowly rise.


    "This..." Ancient God Scarlet Firmament stared in shock at this black sphere.


    Inside this ball of energy was an enormous sealed complex of buildings. This was clearly the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    The defensive arrays around the Heavenly Demon Hall were still active. The many experts who had been maintaining the array were all caught by surprise.


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude had extracted the entire territory of a peak four-star faction!


    "Ancient God Luo Ling!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament suddenly remembered something.


    God Lord Heavenly Demon Hall clearly intended to move away the entirety of the Heavenly Demon Hall, but Ancient God Luo Ling was still inside.


    "Lord Heavenly Solitude truly possesses divine might!" the gray-scaled elder spoke in a trembling voice, an agitated expression on his face.


    This sight was simply too stunning.


    Given how much ruckus was produced, this Heavenly Demon Hall could no longer keep existing. He could naturally understand God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s reasoning.


    "Mm." God Lord Heavenly Solitude nodded in reply.


    The black ball of energy engulfing the entire Heavenly Demon Hall began to gradually contract until it was only about a thousand feet wide.


    Shrinking down a dimension was not a very difficult task. After all, completely extracting such an enormous area from the ground required an unimaginably immense amount of power.


    Whoosh!


    The black sphere floated to God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s side. As for the world down below, it had been blasted beyond recognition.


    Within the Heavenly Demon Hall:


    "What happened just now?"


    Everyone was alarmed and confused. They only sensed the entire Heavenly Demon Hall quaking, but they knew nothing else.


    "Let me see what the situation is." Zhao Feng had recovered some of his Eye Intent. If he pushed all his power into his see-through ability, he would probably be able to see what was going on outside. Swish! Swish! Swish!


    His vision pierced through one layer after another.


    Zhao Feng''s expression flickered, and then it flickered again.


    "This...!" Zhao Feng was stunned, unable to speak.


    After seeing through the Heavenly Demon Hall, he realized that the entire place was floating in the sky. And in the sky was a gigantic man clothed in black, who seemed to be the center of the world.


    This was a God Lord.


    "What sort of power is this!?" Zhao Feng was flabbergasted.


    He knew it wasn''t that the God Lord had gotten larger, but that he had gotten smaller - that the entire Heavenly Demon Hall had gotten smaller.


    At this moment, God Lord Heavenly Solitude looked into the Heavenly Demon Hall and coldly laughed.


    "For the Heavenly Demon Hall to have been wrecked in this manner, you must pay the corresponding price!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude stared at Ancient God Scarlet Firmament and icily said.


    These words sent a shock through the hearts of the Spacetime Sacred Land members.


    "Senior, the cause for this matter was the Heavenly Demon Hall seizing members of the Spacetime Sacred Land!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament, fearful, hurriedly began to explain.


    "How many members of the Spacetime Sacred Land died? And how many members of the Heavenly Demon Hall died?"


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude coldly asked, his expression unchanged.


    The members of the Spacetime Sacred Land instantly fell silent. That was not how things were calculated.


    "How could the people of the Heavenly Demon Hall compare to the people of the Spacetime Sacred Land," a Rank Nine Ancient God, unable to hold himself back, softly grumbled.


    He was a peak Rank Nine Ancient God who came with Ancient God Scarlet Firmament, and he was the second most powerful in the team from the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s expression was unchanged, as if he heard nothing at all, but then, he turned to Ancient God Scarlet Firmament and declared, "I will not kill you, but the rest of them must die!"


    Ancient God Scarlet Firmament was the Spacetime God''s disciple, and God Lord Heavenly Solitude truly did not dare to do anything to him.


    "Senior, this..." Ancient God Scarlet Firmament grimaced and prepared to say something.


    Kabooom!


    The black fog instantly coalesced into savage ghostly claws, and that member of the Spacetime Sacred Land that spoke out just a few moments ago was immediately seized.


    "No, spare me...!"


    After a few screams, the black fog scattered, and the Rank Nine Ancient God was no more.


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude acted as if he had done nothing at all.


    All was quiet, and a fear of death began to hang over all the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    This God Lord would even kill a member of the Spacetime Sacred Land without a word. This sort of conduct was certain to infuriate the Spacetime Sacred Land. Unless God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s faction could contend against the Spacetime Sacred Land, the Spacetime Sacred Land would hunt him down, no matter what zone he ran to.


    Zhao Feng saw this all from within the Heavenly Demon Hall, and his shock was redoubled. He had always believed that the gap between God Lords and Rank Nine was not large. Only today did he realize how naive he was.


    God Lords were the true gods of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!


    "Next one!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s voice was like a proclamation of death.


    At this moment, all the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, excluding Ancient God Scarlet Firmament, felt frozen stiff, their souls trembling in fear.


    "Die!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude spoke, and all the deathly black fog in this world of darkness began to surge.


    But at this moment, God Lord Heavenly Solitude suddenly grimaced. This was the first time his expression had ever changed since his arrival.


    "Stop!" A transcendent and timeworn voice, one that seemed to come from a distant dimension, resounded through the world of darkness.


    At this moment, a ray of light appeared overhead, and then the world of darkness slowly began to crumble.

 1350 The Strength of a God

    Chapter 1350 - The Strength of a God


    "Stop!" A transcendent and timeworn voice, one that seemed to come from a distant dimension, resounded through the world of darkness.


    At this moment, the supreme deity that was God Lord Heavenly Solitude suddenly stopped and tilted his head upward.


    "This voice...!" A look of pleasant surprise flickered through Ancient God Scarlet Firmament''s eyes.


    At this moment, a bright beam of light shot down from the heavens. The world of darkness began to slowly crumble, like dark clouds clearing away after a storm.


    But when everyone saw the outside world, they were once more left stunned.


    "That is...!?" the gray-scaled elder blurted out in shock.


    In the sky, silver rays of light were intersecting, creating an extremely complex picture. A moment later, a pair of massive silver eyes appeared in the sky. These eyes seemed to be a world, a universe. Within them were countless twinkling stars. Anyone who looked into these eyes would feel as if they had entered a wholly unknown dimension.


    The massive pair of silver eyes seemed to have become the vault of heaven, engulfing all. Everyone felt like tiny ants beneath these silver eyes, their bodies trembling as they subconsciously yielded to this power.


    Although the world of darkness had vanished, everyone was now covered in a silver light This was a hazy world that seemed extremely unreal.


    "What''s going on?" The experts of the Heavenly Demon Hall were all alarmed.


    However, quite a few Spacetime God Eye descendants had already guessed at something, and as they looked at those heaven-engulfing eyes, expressions of worship and adoration appeared on their faces.


    "Master!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament got down on one knee and respectfully said.


    At the same time, all the other members of the Spacetime Sacred Land got down on their knees and cried out in unison, "Lord God!"


    They were all flabbergasted. They never would''ve imagined that the Lord God was watching their operation this entire time. When they were in danger, the Spacetime God exerted his supreme abilities to transcend space and descend upon this place. If he didn''t, God Lord Heavenly Solitude would have killed yet another Ancient God of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "Lord God!?"


    All the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall stared fearfully at the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land. There was only one person in the Spacetime Sacred Land that was addressed this way - the Spacetime God Eye of the Eight Great God Eyes, the progenitor of all eye-bloodlines linked to Spacetime Intent!


    Of course, the silver heaven-encompassing eye in the sky was not the actual body of the Spacetime God, but the power that he had sent through space. Although the Antian Zone was adjacent to the Yangling Zone, the Spacetime Sacred Land was extremely far away from the Arctic Abyss. An ordinary Rank Three or Four True God flying nonstop would take nearly ten years to traverse the distance, but the Spacetime God used his space-transcending power to directly descend on this place.


    "How could it be like this? Why would the Spacetime God be paying attention to this place!?" The gray-scaled elder broke out into a cold sweat.


    The number of individuals that could be called Gods in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods could be counted with one''s fingers. They were the publicly acknowledged overlord gods of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and were essentially omnipotent.


    All the members of the Heavenly Demon Hall stared in panic and fear at the silver eyes in the sky. This was the first time they had ever felt the power of a God, but they never expected to be standing in opposition to it.


    "Spacetime... God!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s expression darkened. He also didn''t expect for the Spacetime God to intervene.


    Within the Heavenly Demon Hall, Zhao Feng could see everything that was taking place outside.


    What a reversal! Zhao Feng was dumbfounded.


    Earlier, Zhao Feng believed that God Lord Heavenly Demon Hall was going to kill all the other members of the Spacetime Sacred Land. Of course, this included himself and Ancient God Luo Ling as well. He never would''ve expected that, just when God Lord Heavenly Solitude was about to kill the second person, the Spacetime God would suddenly intervene.


    The Spacetime God Eye, one of the Eight Great God Eyes!


    Zhao Feng stared hard at the silver eyes in the heavens.


    Thumpthump! Thumpthump!


    His left eye pulsed, transmitting to him an unprecedented excitement. If the God''s Spiritual Eye truly was the Ninth God Eye, there would come a day when he would also reach this lofty level, becoming a God expert of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, to rule over all for eternity.


    When he thought of this, a surge of passion and heroism swept through his heart.


    "What''s going on?" Ancient God Luo Ling straightforwardly asked.


    Just a moment ago, she sensed that the oppressive Death energy had vanished. Ancient God Luo Ling sensed that Zhao Feng knew what was going on.


    "The power of a God Eye Deity has descended," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    "Lord God!?" Ancient God Luo Ling blurted out in a shock, a look of delight on her face.


    Since the Lord God had personally appeared, they were no longer in any danger. In contrast, the Heavenly Demon Hall...


    "No, how could that be? That brat is speaking nonsense!" Ancient God Nether Spring froze, and then he bellowed in rage.


    If the Heavenly Demon Hall had used every method at their disposal from the start, the Spacetime Sacred Land would have had no chance of victory and probably would have suffered heavy casualties.


    They didn''t dare to go overboard precisely because of the Spacetime God. But now, Zhao Feng was claiming that the power of the Spacetime God had descended on this land? Not even Ancient God Nether Spring was sure how the situation would turn out at this point.


    Suddenly, the massive silver eyes in the sky began to turn. At the same time, countless spatial blurs appeared across the region. Those experts skilled in Spacetime Intent suddenly felt the surrounding spacetime to be extremely strange, and they became incapable of using Spacetime energy.


    This was the power of the Spacetime God - absolute control over spacetime!


    Whoosh!


    The massive pair of eyes focused onto God Lord Heavenly Solitude.


    In a flash, God Lord Heavenly Solitude became ghastly pale, a trickle of black blood flowing down the corner of his lips. His legs trembled as if he was on the verge of prostrating himself.


    Just a spatial projection is this powerful!? God Lord Heavenly Solitude was stunned. It appeared that he had underestimated the power of a God.


    Thud!


    The members of the Heavenly Demon Hall around God Lord Heavenly Solitude didn''t have the strength to resist and immediately kneeled. After kneeling, their movements became extremely stiff, as if they were moving in slow-motion.


    "Lord God, you plan to personally take action against a single God Lord like me?" God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s body exploded with supreme strength to resist the surrounding spacetime pressure.


    He belittled himself and raised the status of the Spacetime God before accusing the Spacetime God of bullying him.


    "A mighty God Lord like you doesn''t think it embarrassing to attack Ancient Gods?" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament sneered. As the Spacetime God''s disciple, he was responsible for solving any problems for his master that he could.


    "This..." God Lord Heavenly Solitude became speechless.


    He was even thinking that perhaps the Spacetime God had been watching the entire time, waiting for him to take action. Once he killed an Ancient God of the Spacetime Sacred Land, the Spacetime God had every reason to kill him.


    "Lord God, my actions just now were entirely because Your Excellency''s disciple led a group to attack the Heavenly Demon Hall, causing immense damage and a large loss of life," God Lord Heavenly Solitude immediately said.


    From this standpoint, God Lord Heavenly Solitude killing an Ancient God of the Spacetime Sacred Land was entirely understandable. After all, the Spacetime Sacred Land''s people attacked without negotiation.


    "That said, the Heavenly Demon Hall was the first to err. We are willing to pay appropriate compensation for all the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land that were killed!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude immediately admitted his mistakes and proposed compensation.


    The Heavenly Demon Hall''s actions were the reason for the battle between the two factions. Moreover, he was now willing to pay compensation for the deceased of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    At this point, the deceased of the Spacetime Sacred Land consisted of the person that God Lord Heavenly Solitude killed a few moments ago and the two core disciples of the Spacetime Sacred Land that the Heavenly Demon Hall had initially captured and killed. To a God Lord, the compensation for these three deaths would be insignificant


    "This..." Ancient God Scarlet Firmament wanted to say something, but he didn''t know where to start.


    In this battle, the Heavenly Demon Hall was the one to sustain heavy losses, and now, it was proposing to pay compensation to the Spacetime Sacred Land. If the Spacetime Sacred Land continued to push the matter, it would let down its reputation as a Sacred Land.


    "Let it be so. Members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, depart this place!" At this moment, the world resounded with a voice that reached the depths of one''s soul.


    These were the second set of words spoken by the Spacetime God. The first was to stop the fighting, and the second brought an end to the entire matter.


    "Yes!" the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land replied in unison.


    After saying that, the silver eyes in the sky vanished.


    "Gone?" The Heavenly Demon Hall members immediately stood up, a great weight lifted off their bodies.


    Although the Spacetime God was gone, an invisible pressure still remained on their bodies. No one could be sure that, if the Heavenly Demon Hall did not do as promised, the power of the Spacetime God might descend once more.


    "This is the compensation." God Lord Heavenly Solitude threw out an interspatial dimension. The value of its contents was more than enough to be worth three lives.


    "Sir God Lord, let our people out!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament immediately said.


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude naturally understood what Ancient God Scarlet Firmament was talking about.


    Bzzzz!


    A gap suddenly appeared in the black sphere of energy at his side.


    "Members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, leave the Heavenly Demon Hall!" A cold and sinister voice echoed through every corner of the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    "I''ll go with you!" Zhao Feng looked at Ancient God Luo Ling and said.


    He saw everything that happened but was unaware of the exact details. Zhao Feng presumed that the Spacetime Sacred Land members would be able to safely leave, but the same could not be said for him.


    Without a second thought, Ancient God Luo Ling left with Zhao Feng. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, Zhao Wang, and the little thieving cat had long ago been taken into Zhao Feng''s interspatial dimension.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Two figures flew out of the black sphere.


    "Ancient God Luo Ling!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament saw that Ancient God Luo Ling was fine and that she had even broken through, so he instantly cried out in joy.


    "Mm? There''s someone else?" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament looked in confusion at Zhao Feng. He recalled that he had only sent Ancient God Luo Ling to infiltrate the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    The other members of the Spacetime Sacred Land stared in surprise at Zhao Feng. They did not recognize him either.


    Buzz! Swish!


    Zhao Feng exuded Spacetime Intent and used Spatial Blink to join the Spacetime Sacred Land members.


    The Spacetime Sacred Land members were all shocked. This person was very young and didn''t have the Eye of Spacetime, and yet his Spacetime Intent was extremely formidable.


    "Can we go now?" Ancient God Luo Ling asked.


    "Okay." The members of the Spacetime Sacred Land did not ask any questions.


    They presumed that Zhao Feng was someone that Ancient God Luo Ling had brought out from the Heavenly Demon Hall. If they took him with them, they might be able to get some information from him. Moreover, Zhao Feng had displayed impressive strength and talent, and it would be even better if he joined the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    Afterward, the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land took Zhao Feng and left the area.


    "Let''s go!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude barked. Although they had earned the attention of a God, there had thankfully not been any major incident.


    As they prepared to move out, the gray-scaled elder impatiently took out a message token.


    "What? The Heaven''s Legacy Cat was taken away!?" the gray-scaled elder called out in alarm.


    It was naturally Ancient God Nether Spring who sent the message. He didn''t know what was going on outside earlier; it was only just now, when he left the Heavenly Demon Hall, that he realized Zhao Feng had disappeared together with the people from the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    At these words, God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s expression became extremely dark, and he spoke very slowly and coldly. "The Heaven''s Legacy Cat... is not in the Heavenly Demon Hall?"

 1351 Spatial Shif

    Chapter 1351 - Spatial Shift


    Zhao Feng followed the Spacetime Sacred Land team as it flew into the distance.


    "Ancient God Luo Ling, who is this person?" a member of the team finally couldn''t help but ask.


    Zhao Feng was young, and yet he was already a Rank Eight Ancient God. Moreover, even without an Eye of Spacetime, he was extremely accomplished in Spacetime Intent. Even in the Spacetime Sacred Land, it would be difficult to find a disciple as outstanding as Zhao Feng.


    "I got to know him while infiltrating the Heavenly Demon Hall. He was also an infiltrator, and it''s only because the two of us worked together that we were able to survive!" Ancient God Luo Ling shot a glance at Zhao Feng before saying.


    In the Heavenly Demon Hall, she never saw Zhao Feng''s true appearance. She was only able to determine through his voice that Zhao Feng was not that old.


    Earlier, when she saw Zhao Feng''s true appearance, she was slightly stunned. Zhao Feng had a handsome appearance and excellent bearing. Together with that mysterious left eye and dreamy silver hair, he appeared even more enigmatic and bewitching.


    "An infiltrator?" The members of the Spacetime Sacred Land were all taken aback.


    They hadn''t expected for this to be Zhao Feng''s identity. They were also interested to hear that Ancient God Luo Ling and Zhao Feng had assisted each other to survive.


    Ancient God Luo Ling was now a Rank Nine Ancient God, and anyone who could help her out was definitely not simple. "What faction is Good Sir a member of?" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament directly asked.


    Someone of Zhao Feng''s talent probably belonged to a major faction, perhaps even a God Realm Sacred Land. But if Zhao Feng belonged to a major faction, why did he infiltrate the Heavenly Demon Hall alone?


    In addition, he was also interested to hear what Zhao Feng''s objective was in infiltrating the Heavenly Demon Hall. What sort of goal would be worth him venturing alone into such danger?


    "Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng," Zhao Feng directly said.


    With his appearance revealed, it would be extremely easy to find out who he was, so there was no need for him to hide it. "Spiritual Race?" The members of the Spacetime Sacred Land began to think.


    "This Zhao will bid farewell first In the future, when I have the opportunity, I will personally pay a visit to thank all of you!"


    Zhao Feng immediately bid farewell.


    He only borrowed the hand of the Spacetime Sacred Land to escape the Heavenly Demon Hall, but he did not intend to travel with them back to the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "Then goodbye." Ancient God Scarlet Firmament did not try to keep him.


    "Goodbye!" Zhao Feng said his farewells to Ancient God Luo Ling and left.


    But after going a little distance, he suddenly stopped.


    Let''s try out Spatial Shift.


    Spatial Shift required Level Six Space Intent, and long before achieving that, Zhao Feng started trying to comprehend it At this time, he had already grasped seventy to eighty percent of it


    To increase the chances of success, Zhao Feng put on the Spacetime Robe.


    Bzzz! Thwish!


    A spatial vortex began to spin around Zhao Feng. Gradually, the spatial vortex shrank, but the spatial ripples intensified.


    A moment later, Zhao Feng''s body plunged into the small spatial vortex.


    More than ten million li away:


    Bzzz! Swoosh!


    A spatial vortex suddenly appeared, and Zhao Feng''s figure slowly emerged from it.


    "One shift can cover more than ten million li!?" Zhao Feng was stunned. This distance was dozens of times greater than the distance covered by Instant Movement.


    Of course, this was the first time Zhao Feng used Spatial Shift; he still had room to improve. In addition, although Spatial Shift could cover much more distance than Instant Movement, this art required more time to prepare, time in which he could easily be interrupted.


    "Ancient God Luo Ling, how did you get to know Zhao Feng?"


    "What was his goal in infiltrating the Heavenly Demon Hall?"


    Quite a few members of the team immediately began to question Ancient God Luo Ling.


    "I ran into him while trying to infiltrate the secret hall. His goal was to rescue his pet," Ancient God Luo Ling directly replied. "Rescue his pet? Ancient God Luo Ling, you were tricked by that kid, weren''t you?" An elderly blue-haired Rank Eight Ancient God faintly smiled.


    In his view, although Ancient God Luo Ling had impressive talent and formidable strength, she was still too young and lacking in experience.


    Ancient God Luo Ling coldly glanced at this person, but she did not reply.


    "Right, Ancient God Luo Ling, with your strength, even if you ran into any danger, that Zhao Feng shouldn''t have been able to help you with anything," Ancient God Scarlet Firmament suddenly said. Earlier, with Zhao Feng present, it was too awkward for him to say anything.


    "I was able to break into Rank Nine entirely because of him!" Ancient God Luo Ling left it at that, not going into too detailed of an explanation.


    "What?" The members of the Spacetime Sacred Land were all stunned to hear this.


    Zhao Feng was the one to assist Ancient God Luo Ling in breaking into Rank Nine? There were several people present who were still Rank Eight Ancient Gods, and they were all too anxious to know just how Zhao Feng had helped Ancient God Luo Ling break into Rank Nine.


    But at this moment, oppressive Death energy suddenly descended, and the world went dark.


    All the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land, including Ancient God Scarlet Firmament, turned solemn. They were all extremely familiar with this energy; it belonged to none other than God Lord Heavenly Solitude.


    Swish!


    Suddenly, a black figure appeared before them. God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s sinister gaze swept over them, his expression grim and dour.


    "Where is Zhao Feng?" God Lord Heavenly Solitude bluntly asked.


    With Zhao Feng''s appearance exposed, the Heavenly Demon Hall had immediately identified him.


    "Gone," Ancient God Scarlet Firmament immediately said.


    "Gone? Haha, your Spacetime Sacred Land is far too insincere. You actually brought out an outsider!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude coldly snorted, and invisible pressure immediately weighed down on the members of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    All of them grimaced, finding even breathing to be difficult, and some of them glared in discontent at Ancient God Luo Ling.


    "It doesn''t seem like we took Zhao Feng with us, but rather that Zhao Feng followed us. And we never said that he was a member of the Spacetime Sacred Land!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament fearlessly said.


    He was confident that God Lord Heavenly Solitude would not do anything to them. After all, they had not done anything wrong, and the intimidating pressure of the Spacetime God was still present.


    "Good, good!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s eyes bulged as he stared at the group, stifling Death energy spreading through the area.


    If not for the fact that God Lord Heavenly Solitude was doing his utmost to restrain himself, all the ordinary Rank Eight Ancient Gods present would have already lost their lives. From this, one could see just how angry God Lord Heavenly Solitude was.


    But this was completely understandable. His primary goal in visiting the Heavenly Demon Hall was to take away the Heaven''s Legacy Cat Picking up the research results and other treasures was secondary.


    Despite that, during his visit, he ran into the Spacetime God and was humiliated. Even more importantly, the Heaven''s Legacy Cat had been lost


    "I trust that all these members of the Spacetime Sacred Land are not intentionally deceiving me." God Lord Heavenly Solitude gradually calmed down.


    "That person plundered many treasures and precious resources from the Heavenly Demon Hall and killed many Ancient God experts.... In which direction did he leave just now?" God Lord Heavenly Solitude bluntly asked.


    He no longer had a reason to target the Spacetime Sacred Land. Zhao Feng had probably just left and could probably still be caught up to.


    The members of the Spacetime Sacred Land couldn''t help but sigh. Just what was so special about this Zhao Feng that God Lord Heavenly Solitude would personally go to capture him?


    "That way!" Ancient God Luo Ling pointed a finger.


    Ancient God Scarlet Firmament''s expression flickered, but he remained silent


    Ancient God Luo Ling was naturally pointing in the wrong direction, the exact opposite direction in which Zhao Feng had left.


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude was stunned and also said nothing. When investigating Zhao Feng, he had naturally learned that Zhao Feng belonged to the Spiritual Race, and Ancient God Luo Ling was pointing in exactly the opposite direction of the Spiritual Race.


    But Zhao Feng might have predicted that the Heavenly Demon Hall would pursue him, so for him to set off in the opposite direction was completely understandable.


    Swish!


    A moment later, God Lord Heavenly Solitude vanished. The world regained its brightness, and a weight was lifted from everyone''s bodies.


    "Ancient God Luo Ling, why did you do that? You''ve offended a God Lord!" the blue-haired old man immediately asked.


    All of them felt yearning, respect, and fear toward God Lords.


    "He helped me break into Rank Nine, so I will help him this once," Ancient God Luo Ling was unperturbed as she softly replied.


    In truth, Zhao Feng helping her break into Rank Nine was part of a deal, and both sides had already fulfilled their ends of the bargain.


    "Let''s go!" Ancient God Scarlet Firmament barked.


    Although Ancient God Luo Ling had deceived God Lord Heavenly Solitude, even if God Lord Heavenly Solitude failed to catch his target, he didn''t have any firm evidence to claim that the Spacetime Sacred Land had deceived him. However, if he came back to question them again, it would be rather problematic.


    Swooosh!


    The members of the Spacetime Sacred Land rapidly left the area.


    As for Zhao Feng, he was busy researching Spatial Shift, unaware that he had just dodged a lethal crisis.


    Bzzz! Swoosh!


    A silver-robed man appeared in the middle of a spatial vortex.


    "Although it takes quite a lot of energy, it''s completely worth it, given the distance traveled!" Zhao Feng was extremely satisfied with Spatial Shift.


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was immense, and every journey was long and boring. This was also why almost every True God and Ancient God would try to comprehend Space Intent.


    Zhao Feng traveled with Spatial Shift, occasionally taking breaks. In less than ten days, he arrived at the outskirts of Black Devil Peak.


    "I wonder how Ancient God Floating Spirit and the others are doing...." Zhao Feng mused.


    His communication methods were blocked once he entered the Heavenly Demon Hall, so Elder Floating Spirit and the others wouldn''t have been able to get in touch with Zhao Feng. By now, the time period for the Spiritual Race''s trading mission was long over. The Spiritual Race team had probably gone back already.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng used his left eye to observe Black Devil Peak.


    Ever since his God''s Spiritual Eye evolved, its range of vision had expanded, and it was able to see through even more. Moreover, while using his eye, he wouldn''t be discovered by anyone, but Divine Sense would cause him to immediately be detected by experts of the same level.


    "They probably left." Zhao Feng observed many areas, but he saw no signs of any Spiritual Race experts.


    "I wonder how Kun Yun..." Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something and muttered to himself.


    At the time, he was preparing to tell the Spiritual Race Elders to bring Kun Yun with them when they left, but midway, Zhao Hui was kidnapped, so he wasn''t able to relay this request. As long as Kun Yun told the Spiritual Race Elders everything, Ancient God Floating Spirit would undoubtedly extend a helping hand.


    But when Zhao Feng observed Kun Yun''s residence, his gaze darkened.


    In the outer peak, a house was surrounded by outer peak disciples.


    "Kun Yun, come out and exchange some pointers with us!" A tall and skeletal youth loudly laughed.


    "As long as you defeat me, you can take back the average-quality divine artifact you lost to me and become the number one disciple of the outer peak, bound to enter the inner peak soon!" The youth laughed as he continued to jeer.


    "Hurry and come out, Kun Yun, you cowardly turtle!" Several dozen outer peak disciples joined in.


    "Kun Yun, I''ve asked for instruction from you many times, but you don''t give me any face. Since that''s the case, I''m going to have to break down your door!" The skeletal youth put on a savage smile and charged at the door.


    But suddenly, a dreadful pressure descended.


    Boom! Bang!


    The skeletal youth vomited blood as he was blown backward.

 1352 The Person Being Sough

    Chapter 1352 - The Person Being Sought


    Inside his room, Kun Yun heard that the skeletal youth was about to break down his door and shivered.


    As they were both outer peak disciples, the skeletal youth would be punished for forcing his way into the room of a fellow disciple. However, the skeletal youth''s actions were all on the order of True God Cloudbreaker, and True God Cloudbreaker was now a noble and esteemed core disciple. The attendant in charge of the outer peak disciples did not want to offend True God Cloudbreaker, so he turned a blind eye.


    Knowing that he couldn''t avoid this fight, Kun Yun opened his door.


    But suddenly, a figure descended in front of him. At the same moment, a shocking pressure spread outward.


    The skeletal youth was immediately blown back into the ground, unable to get back up for some time. The others in the area immediately felt like there was a mountain on their shoulders, and they found even standing up extremely difficult.


    "This- who...? Senior Brother...?" The skeletal youth stared in fear at Zhao Feng.


    The power of this person far exceeded his imagination. Only a core disciple could possess such dreadful strength, but the skeletal youth didn''t remember a person like this in Black Devil Peak.


    Thud!


    All the other outer peak disciples got down on their knees.


    "Kun Yun, why are you still here?" Zhao Feng suddenly turned around and asked.


    Kun Yun was staring at this expert in shock, wishing to know which senior brother or venerable elder had decided to help him out this time, but when he saw Zhao Feng''s face, he froze.


    "You''re... Zhao Feng!" Kun Yun cried out in alarm.


    Although the color of his eye and hair had changed, the face wasn''t that different. Kun Yun also knew that Zhao Feng''s left was constantly evolving.


    When Kun Yun called out Zhao Feng''s name, one or two of Black Devil Peak''s outer disciples grimaced. One of them was the skeletal youth.


    "The Spiritual Race''s Zhao Feng?" The skeletal youth immediately got up, no more respect on his face.


    He originally believed that this was some senior brother or Elder of Black Devil Peak, but it was actually Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was a member of the Spiritual Race, so it was inherently wrong for him to attack the disciples of Black Devil Peak.


    Moreover, he had not even done anything to Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng struck first In addition, the person backing the skeletal youth, True God Cloudbreaker, was also a core disciple, of similar status to Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, you dare to intrude into Black Devil Peak and attack a disciple!? Just wait here to be punished!" the skeletal youth coldly said.


    Zhao Feng showed no fear, not even glancing at the youth.


    "It''s like this..." Kun Yun was already about to reach his breaking point, so he immediately explained what was going on.


    Originally, when Zhao Hui went missing, Black Devil Peak dispatched many people to search for him, but nothing was found. Thus, Kun Yun could only tell the Spiritual Race Elders about everything himself in the hopes of escaping this place. Alas, True God Cloudbreaker secretly sent people to imprison Kun Yun in his residence, causing him to miss the opportunity.


    Afterward, Kun Yun was targeted again and again by True God Cloudbreaker with the goal of plundering him of all his treasures and divine artifacts.


    Not long ago, Kun Yun was forced to accept a match. He believed that, with his three average-quality divine artifacts, he could fight against the skeletal youth. But to his surprise, the skeletal youth had received an average-quality divine artifact from True God Cloudbreaker. This divine artifact, combined with his own extremely formidable strength, resulted in Kun Yun''s loss, and he was forced to give up one of his divine artifacts.


    "I will take you from here," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    He then turned around and gave the skeletal youth a chilling stare.


    In a flash, the skeletal youth felt like the sky was falling, his body under so much pressure that he couldn''t move a muscle. "Die!" Zhao Feng barked.


    The skeletal youth''s soul was instantly pulverized by a mighty force.


    Thud!


    His body dropped to the ground. An interspatial dimension floated out of his body and to Kun Yun''s side.


    As he took the interspatial dimension, Kun Yun became extremely excited. This was power! Killing as one pleased, slaughtering True Gods like ants!


    At this moment:


    Boom! Boom!


    Two devilish energies suddenly shot out from the outer peak.


    "Who goes there that intrudes upon Black Devil Peak!?" Two Ancient Gods of the Evil Dao rushed toward Zhao Feng''s location.


    Zhao Feng had passed straight through Black Devil Peak''s sensory array. Even if he was not intentionally exuding his aura, Black Devil Peak would have still known about his arrival.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Two figures swiftly appeared. They scanned the area, and when they saw the skeletal youth, their expressions darkened. "Elder!" The outer peak disciples all bowed.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve brazenly intruded upon Black Devil Peak and killed one of its disciples! Have you no regard for Black Devil Peak?" one of the Ô»ders coldly asked


    "I was helping you clean house." Zhao Feng''s expression turned grim as he scanned the two Ancient Gods, his body exuding an invisible pressure.


    The two Ancient God Elders supervised the outer peak, so they were only Rank Seven. Zhao Feng could kill a person of this level of strength with just a glance.


    "Rank Eight...." The expressions on the two Elders'' faces immediately relaxed.


    It was just the death of an outer peak disciple. They felt that a junior acting so brazenly needed a harsh lesson, but they hadn''t expected for Zhao Feng to be a Rank Eight Ancient God. Based on what they knew, Zhao Feng had only recently broken into Rank Seven. How did he so quickly reach Rank Eight?!


    "Zhao Feng, since you have killed a disciple of Black Devil Peak, you can''t just simply leave. You must give an explanation to our superiors," the two Elders spoke in a softer tone, deciding to leave this matter for the upper echelon members to handle.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng nodded.


    Killing an outer peak disciple was not any big deal, but Zhao Feng also wanted to take away an outer peak disciple as well. These two actions added together truly made Zhao Feng seem to brash and arrogant, showing no regard for Black Devil Peak whatsoever.


    In the conference hall:


    "This is Zhao Feng?" Elder Tao carefully examined Zhao Feng and gave a slight nod.


    He truly deserved his reputation as the Spiritual Race''s most dazzling genius. He had directly broken into Rank Six, recently broke into Rank Seven, and was now Rank Eight. Such cultivation talent was something that not even the Spiritual Race members with the thickest of bloodlines could compare to.


    On the other side, the demon-faced Elder''s eyes twinkled.


    Black Devil Peak was divided into two parties. The party that Elder Tao belonged to wanted a good relationship with the Spiritual Race while the demon-faced Elder''s party wanted to worsen relations with the Spiritual Race and build a relationship with a different faction.


    "Zhao Feng, for you to casually kill a disciple of my Black Devil Peak is too presumptuous of you!" The demon-faced Elder suddenly criticized Zhao Feng, a powerful energy rising from his body.


    Sometime earlier, when the Spiritual Race party first arrived, he had proposed a bout in an attempt to worsen the relationship between Elder Tao''s party and the Spiritual Race. However, in the end, Zhao Hui came out of nowhere and ruined his plans. He now wanted to use this chance to harshly punish Zhao Feng, thus earning the extreme displeasure of the Spiritual Race and achieving his goal all the same.


    "Elder, I will first speak of another matter. I am extremely good brothers with Zhao Hui, and while I was traveling through the Antian Zone, I heard that he had gone missing, so I began to search for him...." Zhao Feng changed the subject


    "Zhao Hui...?" The demon-faced Elder was startled, and then he adopted an extremely sympathetic tone. "Although he did not go missing at Black Devil Peak, we are still extremely apologetic. Were you able to find anything?"


    He had barely finished speaking when Zhao Feng summoned Zhao Hui with a wave of his hand.


    This sight gave the demon-faced Elder a rather bad fright. How could anyone who was sent to the Heavenly Demon Hall emerge alive?


    "I was kidnapped by disciples of Black Devil Peak!" Zhao Hui immediately said.


    "There was something like that?" Elder Tao immediately grimaced.


    He never would''ve imagined that Black Devil Peak was involved in making Zhao Hui go missing. He had to thoroughly investigate this matter.


    A moment later, Zhao Hui released his memory image, revealing how he was kidnapped on that day.


    "Be at ease. Black Devil Peak will personally handle these two and also compensate the Spiritual Race!" the demon-faced elder righteously declared.


    It just two ordinary inner peak disciples. He would send people to finish them off and get rid of the evidence.


    "In addition, do Elders know of the Heavenly Demon Hall?" Zhao Feng suddenly said with a smile.


    "The Heavenly Demon Hall!?" both Elders blurted out in unison.


    The Heavenly Demon Hall was a faction that the demon-faced Elder''s party had formed a relationship with in secret. He naturally knew of it, but he hadn''t imagined that Zhao Feng would also find out about the Heavenly Demon Hall in his investigation.


    Elder Tao was stunned because he had only recently discovered that the demon-faced Elder''s party was communicating with some mysterious faction known as the Heavenly Demon Hall. The fact that the demon-faced Elder''s party had recently with some mysterious faction known as the Heavenly Demon Hall. The fact that the demon-faced Elder''s party had recently gotten so much stronger was almost certainly because this Heavenly Demon Hall was secretly supporting them, but Elder Tao had yet to turn up any specific information on this faction.


    "A while ago, while searching for Zhao Hui, I happened to come across a battlefield. The two sides of this battle were the Heavenly Demon Hall and the Spacetime Sacred Land." Zhao Feng looked at the demon-faced Elder as he slowly spoke.


    The demon-faced Elder had an extremely grim expression. They had been working with the Heavenly Demon Hall for some time, so he naturally understood how this faction conducted itself.


    Those scoundrels actually dared to seize God Eye descendants from the Spacetime Sacred Land and ended up being discovered...? The demon-faced Elder silently cursed.


    They had just started a trade with the Heavenly Demon Hall. In the next few months, the Heavenly Demon Hall would be handing over the resources they promised, but now, the Heavenly Demon Hall had obviously run into difficulties.


    "Elder, you seem to be very concerned about this faction?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled at the demon-faced Elder.


    Before he got a reply, Zhao Feng continued, "The Heavenly Demon Hall is extremely abnormal and has many experts, but in the end, the Spacetime God sent his power through space to descend, bringing everything to an end. At the moment, the Heavenly Demon Hall has vanished!"


    Both of the Elders trembled at these words.


    "I didn''t think that this Heavenly Demon Hall would actually offend the Spacetime Sacred Land and even cause the Spacetime God to act." Elder Tao was filled with disbelief, but he was internally overjoyed.


    The disappearance of the Heavenly Demon Hall was the best result for him.


    On the other hand, the demon-faced Elder had a dour expression and said not a word. The Spacetime God had intervened and the Heavenly Demon Hall had disappeared!? In his view, the Heavenly Demon Hall was definitely pulverized until only dregs remained.


    "Elders, I have other matters to attend to and must bid farewell." Zhao Feng looked at the demon-faced Elder and sneered before bidding farewell.


    The demon-faced Elder had received a severe mental blow and was in no mood to argue with Zhao Feng about his actions in Black Devil Peak.


    "Zhao Feng, if you have the chance to come again, Black Devil Peak will treat you with utmost cordiality!" Elder Tao gleefully said.


    Zhao Feng''s appearance had brought him most wonderful news.


    "Kun Yun, let''s go." After leaving the hall, Zhao Feng spoke to the worried and anxious Kun Yun.


    "We can go?" Kun Yun found it somewhat difficult to believe that he could finally escape Black Devil Peak.


    Kun Yun''s cultivation was too low, so for the sake of saving time, Zhao Feng placed him in the Spacetime Robe''s internal dimension. Even if Kun Yun had any designs on the Spacetime Robe, he was too weak to act on them, so Zhao Feng was not concerned.


    Once Zhao Feng left Black Devil Peak, he immediately turned around.


    "The two of you can''t be allowed to escape!" Zhao Feng activated his left eye and began to search Black Devil Peak.


    He quickly found True God Cloudbreaker and Young Master Hai. Zhao Feng used his left eye to secretively leave a mark on their bodies.


    One had to realize that Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had reached peak Rank Eight, so the two of them failed to notice anything strange.


    After doing this, Zhao Feng prepared to leave, but his God''s Spiritual Eye suddenly sensed that two Ancient Gods were approaching Black Devil Peak, and their target was apparently him.


    "It''s him?" A tall and muscular middle-aged man, his face a little pale, gazed at the nearby Zhao Feng.


    "He is the Zhao Feng that Lord Wuheng seeks?" The other individual, a buxom woman dressed in light green, carefully examined Zhao Feng.

 1353 Giant God Hall

    Chapter 1353 - Giant God Hall


    Just as Zhao Feng expected, the two Ancient Gods began to approach him. The two sides stared at each other, the large man and the buxom woman carefully examining Zhao Feng.


    "On what honorable task have the two of you come?" Zhao Feng went straight to the point.


    These two didn''t seem to know him very well, but he was the person they were looking for. This left Zhao Feng very confused.


    "Good Sir is Zhao Feng?" the muscular man asked.


    "Yes," Zhao Feng affirmed.


    The two of them knew his name but didn''t recognize him. This probably meant that they weren''t from the Ziling Zone or Antian Zone.


    "The Ancient God Seal should be in your possession. Hand it over to us!" the muscular man said. At the same time, a heaven-shaking bloodline pressure erupted from his body.


    Even Zhao Feng had not predicted this development, and his body faintly trembled.


    What a powerful ancient bloodline! Zhao Feng was alarmed. This man''s ancient bloodline was definitely ranked very high.


    Zhao Feng wasn''t able to determine from the man''s external traits which bloodline it was. However, for some reason, Zhao Feng found this bloodline extremely familiar, as if he had encountered it before.


    "That object belongs to me!" Zhao Feng''s face chilled as he exuded his own steady and composed aura.


    Up until now, only Ancient God Black Heaven knew the name of the Ancient God Seal, and he was obsessed with trying to get it back. These two had also come to obtain the Ancient God Seal, which made Zhao Feng speculate that they might belong to Ancient God Black Heaven''s faction. Moreover, the two of them were Rank Eight Ancient Gods with powerful bloodlines and abnormal strength.


    But Zhao Feng had also undergone an immense transformation. Even if these two attacked him together, he would be unafraid. In addition, these two weren''t like Ancient God Black Heaven, who immediately attacked Zhao Feng, so Zhao Feng decided to stay his hand for now. But if they began to attack him, he would not be polite.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng exuded an energy not one bit weaker than the muscular man''s. This was because he cultivated the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique and had comprehended many different kinds of Intent energy. It was also because Zhao Feng had personally witnessed the divine might of a half-step God Lord, God Lord, and a God. Zhao Feng''s heart had been honed and his mind had been widened. He was now fearless and capable of advancing courageously.


    Zhao Feng''s aura and attitude startled the pair.


    This person isn''t simple! the muscular man silently noted. He was wounded at the moment, so in a duel, he might not be able to win.


    "I advise you to return it to us. This divine artifact has no use for you and might even bring a lethal calamity down on your head. Moreover, if you have any demands, you may state them." the muscular man relaxed his stance and restrained his energy.


    "Why do you want the Ancient God Seal?" Zhao Feng voiced his question.


    In truth, the Ancient God Seal really wasn''t that useful for Zhao Feng. Moreover, Ancient God Black Heaven''s faction desired the Ancient God Seal.


    In the past, in this situation, Zhao Feng would have probably handed it over in exchange for some other benefit. But now that Zhao Feng had entered the Spiritual Race and reached the level of Rank Eight Ancient God, there was not much that he feared. Thus, Zhao Feng found himself more interested in the secret of the Ancient God Seal.


    "This..." The muscular man was somewhat hesitant. He knew a little about the Ancient God Seal, but he could never give this information to an outsider.


    "Enough. Zhao Feng, come with us to Giant God Hall. You can make your decision once you get there." At this moment, the beaming and buxom woman finally spoke.


    "If I go with you to Giant God Hall, I would have to do everything you asked of me." Zhao Feng sneered.


    He had never heard of Giant God Hall, but it had to at least be a peak four-star faction. Zhao Feng going in alone was far too dangerous.


    "I have come on the order of Lord Wuheng to invite you there. I can guarantee that you will not have to worry about your life if you go to Giant God Hall!" The buxom woman''s expression turned solemn.


    "Lord Wuheng?" Zhao Feng blurted out in surprise.


    This name naturally made him think of Xin Wuheng. Zhao Feng knew that the appearance of the God Corpse in the Continent Zone was intricately linked to Xin Wuheng. And to a certain degree, one could say that Zhao Feng obtained the Ancient God Seal from Xin Wuheng.


    At this time, the buxom woman took out a square jade token, which immediately began to shine with white light. This light condensed into a translucent screen, and a large and mighty figure gradually emerged on the screen.


    Although his bearing had changed somewhat, his appearance was still extremely similar to the Xin Wuheng that Zhao Feng once new.


    "Zhao Feng, if you are willing, come and visit Giant God Hall." The Xin Wuheng on the screen suddenly said these words, and then the screen vanished.


    Although this was all he said, Zhao Feng could sense that Xin Wuheng wanted to say more, but it was inconvenient for him to do so.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng once more sized up the pair. Both of them probably belonged to Giant God Hall, but their attitudes to Zhao Feng were somewhat different from each other. The buxom woman had come on Xin Wuheng''s order, but he didn''t know what the situation was with the man.


    These two have different attitudes, but they''re both here for the Ancient God Seal. If I don''t go, they will continue to pester me. Moreover, they seem to have some connection with Xin Wuheng....


    After thinking things over, Zhao Feng decided to go to Giant God Hall.


    After all, before leaving the Continent Zone, Xin Wuheng had given him the extremely precious Tribulation Lightning God Crystals and had also offered Zhao Feng a clue to finding Liu Qinxin''s whereabouts. In short, Xin Wuheng treated Zhao Feng kindly.


    Moreover, to see an acquaintance from the Continent Zone in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was a matter worth being happy about


    "Okay. I will go with you." Zhao Feng agreed.


    "Then let''s set out immediately!" The buxom woman faintly smiled.


    "Please wait a moment. I have another matter to attend to," Zhao Feng glanced at Black Devil Peak and said.


    "What are you planning? We can only bring you to Giant God Hall, no one else!" The muscular man grimaced.


    He believed that Zhao Feng was a member of Black Devil Peak and, worried for his own safety, was planning to bring a few friends with him.


    "No... let me kill two people first!" Zhao Feng suddenly chuckled, causing the two of them to shiver.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng and the pair of Ancient Gods then left Black Devil Peak.


    Within Black Devil Peak:


    ¶£hey left?"ÈÕderTao softly muttered


    Three Ancient Gods holding a meeting on the perimeter of Black Devil Peak had naturally earned the attention of its Elders. Fortunately, these three Ancient Gods apparently had other affairs and left after exchanging a few words, allowing the upper echelon members of Black Devil Peak to breathe easy.


    "The bloodline energy of the Ancient God just now seemed to be of the Giant God Race!" a white-haired Elder said. ¶£he Giant God Race? Weren''t they extinct?" Elder Tao asked in shock.


    "It''s not that easy to wipe out a race, especially one as powerful as that one!"


    After getting a certain distance from Black Devil Peak, the three Ancients Gods concealed themselves in a gloomy valley.


    "The people you want to kill should be members of Black Devil Peak, but what''s the purpose in hiding here?" the muscular man asked.


    Zhao Feng didn''t answer, but his left eye began to pulse with powerful Soul energy. A moment later, he was able to vaguely sense through the mark he had placed on True God Cloudbreaker''s body what his current surroundings were.


    "What a powerful Soul energy!" The muscular man was rather taken aback.


    Zhao Feng''s cultivation was clearly weaker than theirs, but his Soul intent was far stronger. Paired with his mysterious eye- bloodline, he was probably a formidable fighter.


    Meow!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat jumped out of the interspatial dimension and onto Zhao Feng''s shoulder.


    "What a unique cat!" The buxom woman immediately stared at the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat''s external appearance was extremely different from that of an ordinary cat. Its body was healthy and well-proportioned, giving off the impression that its body was perfectly formed. Meanwhile, its slender ears and tail made it seem like a spirit. Most unusual of all were the various complicated silver runes and characters on the little thieving cat''s body, incomprehensible to the normal person.


    The little thieving cat warily stared at the two members of Giant God Hall.


    A moment later, the Soul energy coming from Zhao Feng''s body suddenly vanished as if he had died. Only the little thieving cat understood that Zhao Feng''s vision was now very far away.


    In True God Cloudbreaker''s residence:


    "Now that I''m a core disciple, the treatment really is different. This Seven Reincarnation Blood Essence Pill can help me stabilize my cultivation and advance my vitality." True God Cloudbreaker consumed the translucent red pill in his hand.


    But at this moment, a dreamy silver eye the size of a fist appeared over his head, floating in the air. Suddenly, an icy blue ray of light shot out from it


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    This blue ray of light pierced through True God Cloudbreaker''s soul, immediately freezing his thought processes. A moment later, it annihilated his soul.


    After doing this, the dreamy silver eye vanished.


    Zhao Feng used very little strength in killing True God Cloudbreaker, and he did it very furtively, ensuring that he would not be discovered.


    Killing True God Cloudbreaker was extremely simple, but if I try to directly kill Young Master Hai, I might be discovered. However, he should be in the middle of cultivating....


    In another house, Young Master Hai was in the middle of trying to understand a very high-level Star eye-bloodline technique. His eyes twinkled with faint light, clearly in the middle of simulating this eye-bloodline technique However, his face was extremely unsightly. Cultivation of this eye-bloodline technique was probably not going very smoothly, and he had encountered some kind of difficulty.


    Bzzzz!


    A dreamy silver eye emerged behind him. Young Master Hai would have normally noticed it, but he was in the middle of cultivating an eye-bloodline technique, and his mind was extremely unsettled.


    Flame Soul Devil Eye!


    A scorching hot Illusion energy descended. In a flash, Young Master Hai''s face became savage and dreadful, and trickles of blood began to seep from his eyes.


    The dreamy silver eye then vanished.


    In a cave, a dreamy silver luster appeared on Zhao Feng''s gray left eye.


    "What''s going on?" The muscular man was extremely confused as he observed Zhao Feng''s condition.


    "He''s proficient in the Soul Dao and can have his soul leave his body...." The buxom woman''s eyes flashed with a strange light.


    "We can leave now," Zhao Feng said.


    Although he had not given Young Master Hai a directly lethal blow, Zhao Feng had used his most dangerous Illusion eye- bloodline technique.


    The Flame Soul Devil Eye was both an offensive and befuddling illusion technique. Zhao Feng had also fused in energy that could seek out and attack the weaknesses in one''s mind. In the best case, being struck by this eye-bloodline technique while cultivating would cause one to be plagued by heart demons for the rest of their life and be forever incapable of advancing any further in cultivation. In the worst case, the soul would be annihilated.


    The muscular man and buxom woman gazed profoundly at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had said a moment ago that he needed to kill two people of Black Devil Peak before leaving. Now that he was saying they could leave, didn''t that mean that he had already killed those two?!


    Although it was rather hard to believe, this matter caused the pair to regard Zhao Feng with caution.


    Not long after the trio left, news came from Black Devil Peak that, while Young Master Hai was cultivating, his soul had detonated, resulting in his death.

 1354 Ancient Soul Race

    Chapter 1354 - Ancient Soul Race


    A small flying ship with an ancient and simple appearance flew at an extremely fast speed through the world. This was the flying tool used by the pair from Giant God Hall. It could travel at the speed of a peak Rank Seven and was extremely tough and tenacious, making it extremely expensive.


    Giant God Hall resided in the Chixing Zone, which was separated from the Antian Zone by the Yangling Zone. For such a long distance, it was naturally best to use a flying tool.


    On the journey, Zhao Feng learned that the muscular man was called Ancient God Sundermount while the buxom woman was called Ancient God Stillmoon. Both of them were members of Giant God Hall and had the bloodline of the Giant God Race.


    The race ranked 15th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races! Zhao Feng was mentally quite shocked.


    It was rumored that, when the Giant God Race''s bloodline was activated, their bodies would become utterly gigantic, capable of toppling mountains and reversing seas with just a single strike.


    He was beginning to think that he had underestimated these people. The race ranked 15th could not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.


    "In truth, the situation is not as Young Master Zhao imagines. Although the Giant God Race is strong, the bloodline is rather unique...." Ancient God Stillmoon, who was the more enthusiastic of the pair, began to explain.


    Every bloodline of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races had its own unique traits. The Giant God Race bloodline was extremely powerful, but it had flaws that the other bloodlines did not. In this case, it was that the chance of inheriting the bloodline was rather low, and the bloodline was very thin and difficult to improve.


    For example, although Ancient God Stillmoon and Ancient God Sundermount were both members of the Giant God Race, their bloodlines were very thin, making them unworthy of being called true members of the Giant God Race.


    For this reason, although the Giant God Race was ranked 15th, in terms of strength, they were equivalent to the ranked 26th Ancient Soul Race.


    "But Lord Wuheng has one of the thickest bloodlines in all of the Giant God Race. If he was given the time..." Ancient God Stillmoon''s face shone with reverence.


    Zhao Feng nodded. He did not have a very deep understanding of every race in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. From Ancient God Stillmoon''s words, he understood that, though the Giant God Race bloodline was powerful, there weren''t many people with it, and even fewer with a thick bloodline.


    It seems like Xin Wuheng''s background isn''t ordinary. Zhao Feng fell into a pensive mood.


    He was sure that, when he first met Xin Wuheng, he didn''t possess any sort of bloodline. But when he remembered the God corpse of the Giant God Race in the Continent Zone, he quickly thought of something.


    Perhaps that God corpse belonged to a previous incarnation of Xin Wuheng. After reincarnating, Xin Wuheng went to the Giant God Race corpse and obtained the memories from his past life along with the bloodline. That Giant God Race God corpse undoubtedly contained major power. Only this could explain why Xin Wuheng had the bloodline of the Giant God Race and was even directly made the Hall Master of Giant God Hall.


    But this only created more questions. For example, if Xin Wuheng''s past incarnation was so powerful, why did he fall and die in the Continent Zone? In addition, why did Ancient Soul Hall want the Ancient God Seal? And why did Xin Wuheng''s Giant God Hall also want the Ancient God Seal?


    The answers to these questions were probably secrets of Giant God Hall, so Zhao Feng did not pry.


    "What is going on with your injuries?" Zhao Feng looked at Ancient God Sundermount. Zhao Feng had earlier noticed that his soul was wounded.


    "When we came to find you, the Ancient Soul Race..." Ancient God Sundermount began to explain, an unsightly expression on his face.


    At this moment, the small flying boat they were on suddenly began to shudder.


    "It must be Ancient God Nethertooth''s group!" Ancient God Sundermount suddenly grimaced while Ancient God Stillmoon became grave.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng activated the see-through ability of his left eye. He saw that three people had surrounded the flying boat and were attacking it, faint and confident smiles on their faces.


    All three of them were Rank Eight Ancient Gods, and they were led by an old man with white hair. This was the Ancient God Nethertooth that Ancient God Sundermount had mentioned, a peak Rank Eight. He was accompanied by a man and a woman. These three all shared the same trait: a gloomy and translucent body.


    "Those of Giant God Hall, obediently come out and accept your deaths!" the short-haired middle-aged man said with a wicked laugh.


    "The Ancient Soul Race!" Zhao Feng determined from the external appearances of these people the race they belonged to. Combined with the information he had already learned, Zhao Feng quickly determined that these people were from Ancient Soul Hall.


    "How did they know where we were? We''re finished!" Ancient God Stillmoon became worried.


    "I''m heavily injured, and they have a peak Rank Eight. We''re no match for them!" Ancient God Sundermount angrily said.


    "We have Young Master Zhao with us. The three of us together should be able to put up a fight!" Ancient God Stillmoon looked toward Zhao Feng. Based on their first meeting, she sensed that Zhao Feng was no weakling.


    "Although Brother Zhao only recently broke into Rank Eight, he possesses unusual strength. However, Brother Zhao, you are not skilled in the Soul Dao, while the Ancient Soul Race is an ancient race specialized in the Soul Dao." Ancient God Sundermount looked at Zhao Feng and slightly shook his head.


    Although Zhao Feng''s eye was mysterious, since it was not one of the Eight Great God Eyes, it would not be useful here.


    The Ancient Soul Race was a race that specially cultivated the Soul Dao. There was no way that Zhao Feng could be a match for them, and he might even end up being controlled by them.


    "Hiding in here is not a solution," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    The flying ship had impressive defensive capabilities, but it could not stop the attacks of three Rank Eight Ancient Gods. Swish!


    The three put away the flying ship, immediately revealing themselves.


    "Eh? Another person! You must be Zhao Feng, the person with the Ancient God Seal!" The middle-aged man stared in delight at Zhao Feng.


    "I didn''t think that letting you live would let us hook the big fish!" The bewitching woman next to him gave a charming smile. "What? You let us go?" Ancient God Stillmoon''s eyes went slack.


    "How else would the two of you have escaped from us?" Ancient God Nethertooth jeered.


    When Ancient God Stillmoon and Ancient God Sundermount learned of this, their eyes dimmed.


    "You probably know Ancient God Black Heaven," Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    "Hmph, that old fellow, he requested permission to capture you but came back empty-handed. How shameless!" the short- haired man coldly said.


    "Since that''s the case, I don''t need to show mercy!" Zhao Feng coldly said, icy killing intent rising from his body.


    Back then, Ancient God Black Heaven joined with Ancient God Night Dragon to pursue Zhao Feng, forcing him into desperate straits. Later, Zhao Feng killed Ancient God Night Dragon but let Ancient God Black Heaven escape.


    But since Ancient God Black Heaven''s faction was still sending people to find him, he naturally would no longer be as polite.


    "Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Stillmoon stared in shock at Zhao Feng. Did Zhao Feng not understand the situation? They were clearly the weaker party.


    "Haha, it''s best if you don''t go easy, or else you won''t be able to die without regrets!" The middle-aged man brashly laughed.


    "Enough chatter! Kill them all!" Ancient God Nethertooth impatiently ordered.


    "Fight to the death!" Ancient God Stillmoon clenched her silver teeth and unleashed the powerful pressure of her ancient bloodline.


    Whoosh!


    The short-haired middle-aged man shot toward Zhao Feng''s side as a black silhouette.


    "Heh, brat, you''d better not go easy on me!" The man gave a sinister chuckle.


    He could see that Zhao Feng had only recently broken into Rank Eight, and his bloodline was extremely weak. He had nothing to worry about


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" Zhao Feng circulated his Chaos Origin Divine Power and made a probing attack.


    He had never interacted with the Ancient Soul Race before, but he knew that any highly-ranked race could not be underestimated.


    "Such formidable Divine Power!" The middle-aged man appeared surprised, but then he smiled. "But it''s too slow!" Whoosh!


    He turned into a dark wave of energy and avoided Zhao Feng''s fist.


    "My turn now!" The middle-aged man reappeared and fired off a palm of black energy.


    This energy palm exuded powerful Soul energy, and in the center of the palm was a lifelike shadowy snake that slowly writhed and hissed.


    Soul attack! Zhao Feng''s left eye focused as it analyzed this attack.


    This palm was a soul attack that was both swift and powerful.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body flashed as he dodged the attack.


    "Spatial Blink... but what use is it?" The middle-aged man was slightly alarmed, but he then wickedly smiled.


    The black palm of energy that had missed suddenly turned and once more began to fly toward Zhao Feng.


    There really is something strange about it! Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    Zhao Feng was unable to analyze the shadow snake in the center of the palm, so he suspected that there was something fishy about it.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng repeatedly blinked around to dodge the palm.


    The black energy palm seemed to have a life of its own as it doggedly pursued him. Crucially, Zhao Feng realized that the middle-aged man was not really controlling this attack.


    "Zhao Feng, this is a special technique of the Ancient Soul Race. That shadow snake is a Soul Beast that they can cultivate, equivalent to a pet tamed by a beast tamer." At this moment, Ancient God Stillmoon, who was battling with Ancient God Nethertooth, warned.


    "Is that so?" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    It was no wonder that this black energy palm seemed to have a life of its own and its power did not weaken. It was actually a unique cultivation technique that could cultivate a Soul Beast. To the Ancient Soul Race, Soul Beasts were like pets, but they were even easier to control and could be fused into soul attacks.


    Meow!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat emerged from the interspatial dimension.


    "Let''s see which pet is stronger!" Zhao Feng suddenly laughed.


    Since the little thieving cat had come out on its own, presumably to play around, it probably had a means of dealing with the techniques of the Ancient Soul Race.


    "Hmph! How could some wild cat compare to my Soul Beast?" The middle-aged man snorted, rather angry.


    He made a spell with his hands, and his entire body began to pulse with dark energy. At the same time, the small snake in the center of the black palm began to get larger. It flew out from the palm and then devoured it.


    Hissss!


    The shadowy snake was now the size of a small house. Dreadful and savage, it lunged at Zhao Feng as if it wanted to devour his soul.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat immediately extended two paws. Silver runes flashed, and then a silver cat lunged out This silver cat gradually grew larger until it was even larger than the shadowy snake.


    Swoosh!


    The silver cat rushed at the snake, leaving deep scratches on its body as it began to rip and tear at it.


    "That''s... how do you know the secret blood art of the Ancient Soul Race, Soul Devouring Strike!?" the middle-aged man shouted out in alarm.


    The attack the little thieving cat used just now was an extremely high-level secret art of the Ancient Soul Race. When used, it could temporarily condense a Soul Beast that would madly devour an opposing Soul Beast.


    "No, my Shadow Snake!" When the middle-aged man finally reacted, his Soul Beast was already on the verge of perishing. "You will die before it!" An icy voice suddenly resounded by the middle-aged man''s side.


    "Oh no!" The man immediately paled.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    The moment Zhao Feng finished speaking. Tribulation Lightning Flame ignited the man''s soul.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Crackling electricity emitting astonishing Destructive power wreaked havoc through his body.


    "What''s going on?" Ancient God Nethertooth noticed something strange going on and immediately reached out with his Divine Sense, upon which he paled.


    "Zhao Feng has the upper hand!" Ancient God Sundermount blurted out in shock when he saw how Zhao Feng was faring. The battle had barely begun, but the Ancient Soul Race expert had already been defeated by Zhao Feng!

 1355 Pushing Back

    Chapter 1355 - Pushing Back


    The battle had barely begun, but Ancient God Stillmoon was already on the back foot, forced into a completely defensive position in her fight against Ancient God Nethertooth. On the other side, Ancient God Sundermount was already wounded, so he was naturally no match for the Ancient Soul Race woman.


    But the situation on Zhao Feng''s side was completely unexpected.


    "Ah...!" The middle-aged man screamed as the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame wracked his soul.


    Nearby, his Soul Beast was also being restrained as it was being devoured by the little thieving cat''s technique.


    "Eh? As expected of an ancient race specialized in the Soul Dao, his soul is stronger than normal!" Zhao Feng realized that, even after taking his Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, the middle-aged man still wasn''t dead.


    The special trait of Soul Dao races was that their bloodline power was reflected in their souls. The middle-aged man''s soul was somewhat similar to Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body: extremely solid and not easily exterminated. For this reason, imprisonment methods were usually used for this kind of race so that they could be slowly worn down.


    "Brat, don''t think I can''t kill you!" The middle-aged man recovered from the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, his dark and translucent soul still writhing.


    As a member of a Soul Dao race, he had abnormal confidence in dealing with soul attacks. However, Zhao Feng''s soul attack contained extremely powerful Tribulation Lightning energy that dealt severe damage to his Ancient Soul Body.


    Zhao Feng''s pet defeating his Soul Beast also made him extremely furious.


    "Your soul attack is very powerful, but it can''t kill me! Let me show you what a real soul attack is!" The middle-aged man''s body writhed, transforming into countless dark streams of energy.


    The Ancient Soul Race wasn''t just formidable when it came to defending their souls; they also possessed many kinds of soul attacks that were almost impossible to defend against.


    "How unusual! His entire body transformed into a Soul Body, and now he''s using his Soul Body as a means to attack!" Zhao Feng watched his opponent with astonished eyes.


    "Dark Sea Soul Refining!"


    Dark streams of water circled around Zhao Feng, engulfing him like a shroud of black water. A wicked and devilish Soul energy quickly engulfed Zhao Feng.


    A normal person in this situation would immediately feel their Soul Intent being affected, and their fighting power and ability to resist would immediately drop.


    "Die! Let me eat your soul so that I can recover from my injuries and make up for the loss of my Shadow Snake!" A sinister laugh came from the black water.


    The water began to spin even faster, quickly clinging to Zhao Feng''s body and assailing his soul.


    "He actually used that move?" Ancient God Nethertooth''s expression chilled.


    The souls of the Ancient Soul Race were unique. It was possible to use a secret art that utilized the soul offensively. Dark Sea Soul Refining was a secret art that could use one''s soul to swiftly crush and refine the opponent''s soul. Once it succeeded, the user would obtain ʲle energy and memories of 1:he enemy''s soul.


    However, this art was extremely risky. The injuries sustained by the soul during the process would be worsened, and failure would result in an intense backlash.


    The middle-aged man used this technique because his Soul Beast was restrained, causing his fighting power to plunge. Thus, he used the secret art to finish off Zhao Feng in a single blow and recover some of his dignity.


    "Hmph! Senior Brother''s soul is extremely powerful, so he will be able to instantly refine that brat''s soul." The bewitching woman giggled.


    "Not good, it''s that move!" Ancient God Stillmoon''s face turned grave.


    A normal person''s soul was far inferior to an Ancient Soul Race soul. They would be incapable of resisting this move and could only wait to be refined and devoured.


    Both she and Ancient God Sundermount were on the back foot, so they had no time to help Zhao Feng.


    But Zhao Feng, shrouded in the black water, remained unperturbed.


    Bzzzz!


    He activated his left eye and observed his surroundings. The black water around him was the manifestation of the middle- aged man. The majority of it was made up of his soul.


    Although converting one''s soul into an attack is extremely dangerous, it''s also extremely powerful. The stronger one''s Soul Body is, the more terrifying the attack will be.... Zhao Feng''s left eye began to analyze the secret art.


    Slush!


    The shroud of dark water had almost closed around Zhao Feng''s body and was about to begin refining his soul.


    "What? Your first time seeing this Soul secret art and you''re already giving up?" A dark and translucent face suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Feng and began to laugh.


    "This really is my first time seeing this art, but I''m only interested, that''s all." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    "Oh no!" The middle-aged man immediately felt that something was wrong. Moreover, just when his soul attack was about


    to reach Zhao Feng''s Soul Body, he suddenly felt a numbing sensation.


    Swish!


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s dark violet soul suddenly exploded with dazzling white arcs of electricity.


    "Tribulation Lightning power!?" The middle-aged man immediately took fright.


    Slush!


    The dark currents of water immediately began to withdraw in preparation to retreat.


    What''s going on? Why does his soul have Tribulation Lightning energy!? The middle-aged man was reeling in shock.


    The offensive soul secret art was founded on the prerequisite that one''s soul was stronger than one''s opponent. When both Soul Intents were on the same level, the user of the art would be the one that suffered. Moreover, Zhao Feng''s soul was mutated, containing Tribulation Lightning energy within it.


    "Water Lightning Illusion Prison!" Zhao Feng barked.


    His soul immediately unleashed soul lightning that formed a cage of electricity. Zhao Feng''s left eye then converted this lightning into an enormous and impregnable cage of Water Lightning.


    "Retract!" With a thought, the Water Lightning Illusion Prison began to retract around Zhao Feng.


    "No...!" The middle-aged man was terrified.


    But the Water Lightning Illusion Prison was specialized in imprisonment, and he found it impossible to escape. Moreover, the Water Lightning Illusion Prison was linked to Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body; the more the prison shrank, the stronger it became.


    "No, let me go...!"ʲle middle-aged man shrieked in terror.


    Zhao Feng''s face was cold and indifferent, the powerful soul lightning unleashed by his Lightning Soul Body resonating with the Water Lightning Illusion Prison.


    One could say that Zhao Feng''s soul was a bomb. As the Water Lightning Illusion Prison shrank, the middle-aged man''s soul was drawn closer and closer to this bomb.


    Boom! Hisss!


    The Water Lightning Illusion Prison immediately shrank to a tiny size, and in the remaining space, the middle-aged man''s soul was battered by endless lightning.


    "Release my senior brother!" At this moment, the bewitching woman pushed back Ancient God Sundermount and charged at Zhao Feng.


    On the other side, Ancient God Nethertooth was also preparing to strike.


    "Where are you going!?" Ancient God Stillmoon clenched her silver teeth and immediately activated her Giant God Race bloodline.


    A moment later, her body exploded with dazzling white light that extended all the way to the horizon. Ancient God Stillmoon''s body rapidly began to grow in this light, transforming into a ten thousand foot tall giant At this moment, all the living beings in a radius often thousand li felt an immense pressure.


    "Giant God Finger!" Ancient God Stillmoon thrust out a finger.


    This finger had gathered up all the energy in Ancient God Stillmoon''s body and descended from the sky like an enormous stone pillar, pulverizing all before it In the face of this immense power, even Ancient God Nethertooth could only dodge.


    "The power of the Giant God Race truly is abnormal!" Zhao Feng exclaimed.


    Not even Zhao Feng would dare to engage in a direct confrontation with the current Ancient God Stillmoon. He would instead choose to use long-distance or soul attacks.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng unleashed all the Tribulation Lightning energy in his Lightning Soul Body. In a flash, the middle-aged man''s soul was electrocuted to death.


    "I want you to die!" The bewitching woman''s face turned savage.


    "If you want to see your senior brother so much, I''ll send you to see him!" Zhao Feng sneered as he turned his left eye to the woman.


    As if sensing the Eye Intent locking onto her, the bewitching woman began to zigzag, making it more difficult for Zhao Feng to lock onto her.


    But at this moment, she heard a meow in her ear.


    "Not good! The cat!" The woman grimaced.


    With the death of the middle-aged man, his Soul Beast had weakened even more and was killed by the little thieving cat.


    The bewitching woman also knew that there was something strange about this cat, so she did not dare to carelessly use her Soul Beast.


    "Chaos Origin God Suppressing Seal!" Zhao Feng circulated his Chaos Origin Divine Power, gathered it into a seal as large as a mountain, and slammed it down.


    The little thieving cat''s appearance made the bewitching woman apprehensive, resulting in her fighting power being reduced.


    On the other side, Ancient God Sundermount had joined Ancient God Stillmoon in fighting against Ancient God Nethertooth. "The situation is bad!" Ancient God Nethertooth''s expression was gloomy.


    Zhao Feng''s pet was extremely strange, and he himself was extremely strong. The two people Ancient God Nethertooth had brought with him were no match for Zhao Feng in a one-on-one fight. And at this moment, he was being hindered by two experts of the Giant God Race. Even if he used his trump cards, they wouldn''t have much of an effect.


    The defeat of the bewitching woman was an inevitability. When the time came, he would be facing three people and might even die.


    "Retreat!" Knowing that everything was settled already, Ancient God Nethertooth immediately messaged the woman.


    A moment later, Ancient God Nethertooth transformed into a dark streak of light and fled.


    "Want to run away?" Zhao Feng noticed that the woman was also about to run and immediately used his Spacetime Intent to unleash a Heaven Engulfing Palm.


    The palm transcended space and immediately reappeared next to the bewitching woman, leaving no time for her to dodge. Plush!


    The bewitching woman vomited blood and instantly slowed down.


    "Don''t let her run as well!" Ancient God Stillmoon rejoiced upon seeing Zhao Feng intercept the woman and immediately thrust out a finger.


    Ancient God Nethertooth was extremely strong and skilled in escape. It would be pointless for the two of them to pursue him. But since Zhao Feng had stopped the bewitching woman, they would not easily let her go.


    "Die!" Ancient God Sundermount activated all his bloodline power, and his energy instantly swelled.


    Surrounded by three people, the bewitching woman was swiftly slain.


    "We actually pushed them back, and even killed two of them!" Once the battle was over, Ancient God Sundermount was somewhat overcome by disbelief.


    "This is all due to Young Master Zhao. He has an even better grasp of the Soul Dao than the Ancient Soul Race!" Ancient God Stillmoon looked at Zhao Feng and said in a friendly tone.


    The victory in this battle was entirely due to Zhao Feng swiftly crushing one person and reversing the tides.


    Ancient God Sundermount solemnly looked at Zhao Feng, completely acknowledging his strength.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat immediately appeared, indicating that it was even more formidable and useful than its master.


    "Yes, you were also very formidable." Ancient God Stillmoon giggled.


    What seemed like certain death became a situation where two members of the Ancient Soul Race were killed while the other fled. The members of the Giant God Race were as happy as could be.


    "Ancient God Nethertooth has escaped. We have to get moving as quickly as possible, before Ancient Soul Hall can send any more reinforcements!" Ancient God Sundermount suggested.


    The three of them once more entered the simple flying ship and vanished.


    Three years later, in a mountainous region of the Chixing Zone, the flying ship broke through the clouds.


    "We''ll be at Giant God Hall soon!" Ancient God Stillmoon was delighted.


    Ever since the battle with Ancient God Nethertooth''s group, they had not encountered any obstacles or dangers and were now on the verge of returning home. They had even brought the Ancient God Seal back. With their mission smoothly completed, their status in Giant God Hall was certain to rise.

 1356 The Secret of the Giant God Race

    Chapter 1356 - The Secret of the Giant God Race


    "We''re about to arrive?" Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng had a rough understanding of the flying ship''s situation.


    He had spent the last three years in seclusion, and the vast majority of that time in the Spacetime Robe Dimension. In these three years, he had completely stabilized his foundations as a Rank Eight Ancient God, and his Space Intent had reached Level Seven. His Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique had also been cultivated to the third level.


    Besides that, he had finished advancing the fourth level of the Soul Splitting Technique, though he had not split his soul yet After all, splitting the soul was extremely dangerous and required no interruption. Moreover, after splitting his soul, he would be weak for a period of time.


    In addition, Zhao Feng had modified his various eye-bloodline techniques, using the arts he had cultivated and his own experiences to develop new eye-bloodline techniques.


    On the other end, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had also gained much. With the help of the Destruction Dragon Race reverse scales that Zhao Feng had duplicated, it had long ago become a Rank Eight Ancient God. Moreover, its serpent dragon body was in the middle of evolving into a true dragon. Its Destruction Dragon Race bloodline had also gotten thicker.


    It was the one who had matured the fastest in the last three years, and it had gained even more strength than Zhao Feng. Of course, this was due to its outstanding bloodline. One could easily see just how terrifying the bloodline of the supreme race of the Ancient Era - the Destruction Dragon Race, the stubborn foe of the Golden Crow - was.


    But after repeated use of the reverse scales, they had lost their original effect. If the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon wanted to advance further, it needed to seek other means.


    "Master, at my current level of strength, not even peak Rank Eight Ancient Gods are a match for me!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon saw that Zhao Feng had ended his seclusion and immediately said.


    It was entirely due to Zhao Feng that it was able to possess its current level of cultivation. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon even sometimes thought that it was very fortunate that it had submitted to Zhao Feng back then.


    However, Zhao Feng had made too much progress and exerted too much pressure. The moment the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon couldn''t keep up and was left in his dust, it would feel extremely unsafe.


    "This Black Serpent Dragon..." On the side, Kun Yun somewhat enviously sighed.


    In these three years, under Zhao Feng''s instruction, he had long ago become a Rank Three True God, and his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds such that he was now at the peak of Rank Three.


    This cultivation speed would be something to be very proud of in any ordinary five-star faction, but while spending time together with Zhao Feng''s group, he was unable to feel any sense of accomplishment whatsoever. He had even heard that one of Zhao Feng¡¯s good friends, Xin Wuheng, was already the Hall Master of the Giant God Race¡¯s faction. Kun Ѿun had almost died from the shock.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng left the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    "Brother Zhao, your aura is completely restrained. It seems like you''ve already solidified your cultivation!" Ancient God Sundermount said in surprise.


    In the ranks of Ancient Gods, many people had already reached the end of their potential, requiring incredible effort to barely break through into the next rank. For this reason, completely solidifying their cultivation was even more excruciatingly difficult


    "We''ve almost arrived?" Zhao Feng asked.


    Earlier, he sensed the flying ship slowing down and the two members of Giant God Hall exiting their seclusion, so he was sure that they were almost there. However, he couldn''t see anything unusual around them.


    "It''s in the middle of that sea ahead of us," Ancient God Stillmoon said with a smile.


    "In the sea?" Zhao Feng was astonished.


    Plush!


    The flying ship plunged into the sea. It traveled forward, circling around a few enormous whirlpools, before finally stopping in a forest of blood-colored coral.


    After getting off the ship, the group headed to a certain part of the forest of blood coral, where the two members of Giant God Hall formed a spell.


    A gloomy path instantly appeared before them. The trio traveled through the path and emerged in a vast area.


    There were no clouds to be seen, and massive towering mountains could be seen all around. Countless palaces could be seen atop these high mountains.


    "So well-hidden!" Zhao Feng was dazed. It was no wonder he had never heard of Giant God Hall.


    One had to realize just how noticeable being ranked 15th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races made the Giant God Race, and yet this faction was so well-hidden that almost nobody knew about it


    "There''s a reason for this that you''ll learn about soon." Ancient God Stillmoon sighed and said no more.


    At this moment, Divine Senses swept out from several of the nearby mountains. Afterward, several figures immediately flew out from a palace.


    An Ancient God expert wearing golden armor flew out from the distance.


    "Ancient God Sundermount, Ancient God Stillmoon, you''ve returned. Who is this?" The golden-armored Ancient God gave Zhao Feng an unpleasant stare.


    "The possessor of the Ancient God Seal," Ancient God Sundermount directly said.


    The golden-armored Ancient God immediately replied, "Then why did you bring him here?"


    His meaning was obvious; bringing back the Ancient God Seal was enough. They should not have brought back Zhao Feng. "He was invited by Lord Wuheng!" Ancient God Stillmoon coldly said.


    In the three years they had spent together after the battle with Ancient God Nethertooth, their relationship was rather good, and Ancient God Stillmoon gradually began to warm up to Zhao Feng.


    The name "Lord Wuheng" immediately had the golden-armored Ancient God bowing his head in silence.


    At this moment, a loud and bright voice came from the mountains; "Stillmoon, bring our guest to me!"


    The world instantly fell silent as everyone lowered their heads and bowed.


    Zhao Feng determined that this person was none other than Xin Wuheng, but he could not determine exactly which mountain the voice had come from.


    "Let''s go!" Ancient God Stillmoon led Zhao Feng through the mountains to an enormous yellow and ancient mountain.


    At the peak of this mountain was a simple and unsophisticated palace, and in front of this palace stood an erect figure. His appearance was ordinary, but his every movement exuded an extremely abnormal air. Just by standing there, he seemed to be fused with the entire mountain. He was vast and imposing, making others feel inferior.


    "Zhao Feng, long time no see! Let us go in and talk." Xin Wuheng casually smiled.


    "You truly are unfathomable!" Zhao Feng gave an emotional sigh and entered the palace.


    Even though he knew that Xin Wuheng was unusual by the end of his time in the Continent Zone, the actual situation was still beyond his expectations.


    Ever since coming to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Zhao Feng had encountered all kinds of opportunities and fortunes, and he had even managed to directly become a Rank Seven Ancient God when he broke through. Despite all that, he was still far inferior to Xin Wuheng.


    Zhao Feng could sense that Xin Wuheng was, at the very least, a Rank Nine Ancient God, but he was even more unfathomable and inestimable than any other Rank Nine Ancient God he had ever seen.


    "I originally thought that you would need at least five hundred years to be able to see me. I didn''t think that would advance so quickly!" After seating themselves, Xin Wuheng began to carefully inspect Zhao Feng.


    "Five hundred years?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled. Any other True God that came from an outer zone to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods could be given one thousand years and still not reach Zhao Feng''s current level, and yet Xin Wuheng had predicted five hundred years? He clearly knew that Zhao Feng''s left eye was unusual.


    "I''m returning this." Zhao Feng took out the Ancient God Seal. After all, this object originally belonged to Xin Wuheng.


    Over the last three years, he studied the Ancient God Seal many times. The more he studied it, the more he realized that the Ancient God Seal was not simple. In the end, he understood one thing: he had never completely refined the Ancient God Seal, because the Ancient God Seal still had a master. That person was none other than Xin Wuheng.


    Bzzzz!


    The Ancient God Seal flew on its own to Xin Wuheng''s side. Gradually, it began to exude powerful energy, and white streams of light began to circle around its surface.


    With another layer of seals undone, the Ancient God Seal now exuded the energy of a supreme-quality divine artifact.


    "So you already know. Correct! The Ancient God Seal is a verification object belonging to the Hall Master of Ancient God Hall!" Xin Wuheng was clearly surprised as he put away the Ancient God Seal.


    "Ancient God Hall?"


    Wasn''t Xin Wuheng''s faction Giant God Hall? What connection did it have with Ancient God Hall?


    "Three hundred million years ago, there was an elite five-star faction in the Chixing Zone known as Ancient God Hall, well- known even across the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Ancient God Hall was controlled by two major races: the Giant God Race and the Ancient Soul Race...." A nostalgic look appeared on Xin Wuheng''s face as he slowly spoke.


    As it turned out, the Chixing Zone had not started out with a Giant God Hall and an Ancient Soul Hall, but only a supreme five-star faction known as Ancient God Hall.


    The highest ruler of Ancient God Hall was the Giant God Race, but the Giant God Race''s special trait was that the chances of their bloodline being passed on was rather low and their blood was rather thin. These two factors caused the power of the Giant God Race to gradually wane.


    In comparison, the Ancient Soul Race had more people, and though it was ranked lower than the Giant God Race, its bloodline was thicker and its techniques were bizarre. They were not satisfied with the situation, and after many years of scheming, they finally succeeded in seizing power and overthrowing the Giant God Race.


    From that moment on, Ancient God Hall became Ancient Soul Hall!


    It had been many, many years since that incident, and only a few old monsters in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods knew these secrets.


    "To think that it would be like that!" Zhao Feng listened to all this in complete shock.


    He finally understood why Giant God Hall was so weH-hidden. Giant God Hall was still much weaker than Ancient Soul Hall, and Ancient Soul Hall would not let Giant God Hall escape.


    "Back then, I was surrounded by the Ancient Soul Race. Before my soul was destroyed, I barely managed to open a path to the outside. In the end, my body fell to the Continent Zone. Even though my soul was destroyed and I could not be reborn from a drop of blood, as a God Lord, I could reincarnate through an Origin Seal...." Xin Wuheng spoke with a complicated expression.


    Zhao Feng had already expected this kind of explanation. The only thing he hadn''t expected was that, in his last life, Xin Wuheng was actually one of the strongest members of the Giant God Race, a God Lord.


    Because of that, when Xin Wuheng came to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and inherited the position of Hall Master, nobody objected.


    "Why did you give something as valuable as the Ancient God Seal to me?" Zhao Feng voiced one of the questions on his mind.


    The Ancient God Seal was originally a supreme-quality divine artifact and apparently still had other secrets, and yet, back in the Continent Zone, Xin Wuheng gave such an important object to Zhao Feng. He found this rather hard to believe.


    "When I inherited the blood and body of my previous life, Ancient Soul Hall noticed my existence. I predicted that a True God would descend to the Continent Zone, bringing with them a destructive storm. Thus, I took every object that I owned in my last life and made them into legacies, from which all of you could inherit. This was to compensate you but also to increase your strength so that you could deal with the coming crisis. As for the Ancient God Seal, you took it after passing the trial." Xin Wuheng chuckled. He didn''t give the Ancient God Seal to Zhao Feng. Rather, Zhao Feng obtained it with his own ability.


    Besides, after inheriting his past life''s strength and entering the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Xin Wuheng knew he would be hunted down and pursued by Ancient Soul Hall. The Ancient God Seal was of such importance that it could not be allowed to fall into the hands of Ancient Soul Hall. For this reason, he decided to hand it over to someone else to protect it. But protecting the Ancient God Seal was also dangerous. A normal person would not be capable of doing so.


    "Do you want to know the secret of the Ancient God Seal?" Xin Wuheng suddenly asked.


    Zhao Feng froze. He naturally knew that the secret of the Ancient God Seal was probably extremely important, but it seemed Xin Wuheng didn''t intend to hide this secret from Zhao Feng.


    "After all, you''ve been of enormous help to me and could be considered a half-owner of the Ancient God Seal. It''s only proper that you know about it...." Xin Wuheng prepared to reveal the secret.


    But at this moment, an extremely heavy and oppressive energy descended on the palace.


    One had to realize that, when Zhao Feng entered this palace, a defensive array was erected around it. Despite that, the energy of that mysterious expert completely ignored the defensive array.


    This energy was as heavy as a mountain, and even through the array, it made Zhao Feng incapable of moving. He felt like he was an insignificant ant, his life in the hands of another.


    He had experienced this sensation once before.


    "God Lord!" Zhao Feng was mentally alarmed. After experiencing the power of God Lord Heavenly Solitude, he was able to determine the cultivation of this person through their energy.


    "Wuheng, you plan to reveal the secret of the Giant God Race to an outsider?" An elderly and dignified voice echoed through the palace.

 1357 Displaying Ones Prowess

    Chapter 1357 - Displaying One''s Prowess


    "Wuheng, you plan to reveal the secret of the Giant God Race to an outsider?" An elderly and dignified voice echoed through the palace.


    "He has been helping me protect the Ancient God Seal all this time, and now he''s come to personally return it to me, so I believe in him!" Xin Wuheng had a composed expression.


    Zhao Feng clearly understood that the Ancient God Seal held a major secret, yet he still came here and handed it over on his own accord. Thus, there was nothing wrong with telling Zhao Feng the secret of the Ancient God Seal.


    "Back then, my Giant God Race also deeply trusted the Ancient Soul Race, but the result?" The elderly voice spoke once more, tinged with helplessness and rage.


    "Those not of my race are certain to harbor different ideals!" Before Xin Wuheng could reply, the elderly voice, suffused with boundless majesty, resounded throughout the world.


    At this moment, almost everyone in Giant God Hall walked out of their residences and gazed fearfully at the sky.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t take it personally. The Grand Elder is not targeting you." Xin Wuheng knew that the Grand Elder''s hatred for the Ancient Soul Race ran too deeply, and instead of arguing, he decided to speak with Zhao Feng.


    In his view, the Giant God Race was in this situation because they relied too much on their bloodline, and they also regarded their bloodline far too highly, scornfully looking upon the weaker ancient races. They were too confident in their power and secure in their position, resulting in that tragedy.


    The Giant God Race had learned their lessons. Once they revived, they would rise with an unstoppable momentum. But since the Giant God Race was still threatened by the Ancient Soul Race, they needed an opportunity to stage their comeback.


    "Wuheng, the item has been delivered. Send him out!" the Grand Elder continued.


    The chance for the Giant God Race to rise again lay in the Ancient God Seal.


    "I require his help," Xin Wuheng indifferently said.


    "What? You plan to have him stay here?" A furious voice resounded through the hall.


    Zhao Feng felt like the sky was falling on top of him.


    A moment later, an old man appeared in the hall, his body large and tall, his skin dark red, his face dignified and majestic, and his hair a timeworn white.


    "He is a Rank Eight Ancient God, certain to be a top-class expert in any ordinary faction, but to our Giant God Race, he has no use!" the Grand Elder barked.


    In truth, Giant God Hall was currently lacking in experts, and they would be more than happy to have another Rank Eight Ancient God in their ranks. It was just that the Grand Elder still harbored hostility toward outsiders. Moreover, the Giant God Race was at a crucial moment, and no error could be allowed.


    "I spent some time with Zhao Feng after I reincarnated, so I have some understanding of him. He has the ability to help us, but we will have to ask him if he''s willing to help us!" Xin Wuheng suddenly stood up, exuding his supreme bloodline energy, reducing the pressure being placed on Zhao Feng.


    "Since you regard him so highly, let me test him to see if he has such ability!" The Grand Elder''s expression did not change as he stared at Zhao Feng.


    He didn''t pay much regard to Zhao Feng earlier, but he trusted in Xin Wuheng''s judgment, so he began to grow a little interested in Zhao Feng.


    "If he wishes to remain here, let him have a bout with my registered disciple. Otherwise, he can leave right now!" the Grand Elder spoke.


    Xin Wuheng grimaced. The Grand Elder''s registered disciple, Ancient God Cheng Yun, had reached peak Rank Eight not too long ago and possessed unusual strength. He believed that Zhao Feng was capable of winning, he was just worried that the Grand Elder''s threatening attitude would make Zhao Feng unhappy and cause him to leave.


    "This junior is willing to try." Zhao Feng calmly said.


    He truly came here with the intention of helping Xin Wuheng, but this God Lord''s attitude indeed made him very unhappy. Since this was the case, he would prove his strength and give this person a vicious slap on the face.


    Besides, in the last three years of seclusion, Zhao Feng had made great progress, but he never had a chance to try it out, so his hands were getting rather itchy.


    Xin Wuheng faintly smiled at Zhao Feng''s reply.


    "Okay!" the Grand Elder bellowed, and, exerting his enormous power, he immediately took Zhao Feng away from the hall.


    At the same time, a voice resounded through the hall, "Wuheng, the Ancient God Seal is in our hands. Go and get ready. I will take care of this child!"


    In a flash, Zhao Feng realized that he was standing in a spacious area covered by a protective array tens of thousands of li in circumference.


    Suddenly, space rippled, and then a golden-armored man appeared.


    "Master, for what matter have you sought your disciple?" Ancient God Cheng Yun respectfully bowed.


    "Have a bout with this outsider until a victor is decided," the Grand Elder coldly said.


    Among his disciples, only Ancient God Cheng Yun had a similar cultivation level to Zhao Feng''s. Although Ancient God Cheng Yun was just a registered disciple, he had the bloodline of the Giant God Race, endowing with abnormal strength.


    If a low-level outsider like Zhao Feng was able to defeat Ancient God Cheng Yun, he would prove that his potential and talent truly were terrifying and that he would be of use to the Giant God Race.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes twinkled. Ancient God Cheng Yun was actually that golden-armored Ancient God who acted in an extremely unfriendly manner to him the moment he entered Giant God Hall.


    Many people began to gather around the edge of the array.


    "I hear that this outsider is going to have a bout with the Grand Elder''s registered disciple, Ancient God Cheng Yun!"


    "How could a person from a low-level race be a match for Ancient God Cheng Yun?"


    The crowd began to chatter.


    "Please instruct me," Ancient God Cheng Yun spoke and then immediately activated his Giant God Race bloodline.


    In an explosion of light, a massive golden-armored giant appeared, exuding enormous pressure.


    It was clear through Ancient God Cheng Yun immediately activating his bloodline that he wanted to bring a quick end to this battle. After all, he was also not fond of outsiders, and he was representing his master as well, so he needed to win an overwhelming victory.


    This person''s body is quite a bit larger than Ancient God Stillmoon''s! Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed. Clearly, the Giant God Race bloodline could not be underestimated.


    "Giant God Gale Palm!" The enormous Ancient God Cheng Yun swept out with a palm that blocked out the sky.


    A frenzied wind began to sweep through the area as an enormous palm made of wind flew toward Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng immediately used Spatial Blink to get out of the range of Ancient God Cheng Yun''s attack.


    Boom! Bang!


    The palm crashed into the ground and immediately carved out a terrifying abyss.


    "Is that all? That outsider''s bloodline is low-level. There''s no way he can compare to Ancient God Cheng Yun!"


    "Ancient God Cheng Yun has gotten much stronger. His Wind Intent has reached the peak of Level Six, and he also has his Giant God Race bloodline. That kid can only dodge!"


    The spectators called out in alarm.


    At this moment, a bewitching man with long purple-red hair appeared, his eyes fixed on Zhao Feng. This person''s arrival immediately attracted the astonished gazes of others.


    "Nan Gongsheng, he''s an outsider like you that wants to remain here, but his luck isn''t as good as yours. He has to defeat Ancient God Cheng Yun!" a young Ancient God smiled and said to the bewitching man.


    "He will win," Nan Gongsheng flatly said.


    But internally, Nan Gongsheng was extremely uneasy. I didn''t think that you were already a Rank Eight Ancient God!


    "My Giant God Race bloodline endows me with both strength and defense. My attacks are extremely powerful! Just where do you think you can hide?" Ancient God Cheng Yun was a majestic heaven-spanning giant, his palms surging with high- level Wind Intent.


    "Fierce Gale Heavenly Dragon Strike!" As Ancient God Cheng Yun moved his palms, a storm of energy rushed out from them.


    "Ancient God Cheng Yun''s supreme technique! Its range is simply massive! That kid has nowhere to hide!"


    "It seems like it''s going to end. How boring!"


    The crowd originally believed that the battle would last a little longer, but Ancient God Cheng Yun actually used his supreme technique.


    A massive storm dragon suffused with frenzied power lunged at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng appeared tiny in front of this enormous dragon, like a puny insect


    This time, Zhao Feng did not dodge. His body was motionless while he gathered up dazzling Divine Power.


    "Chaos Origin God-Shattering Fist!" Fusing his many Intents, Zhao Feng fiercely punched.


    A massive fist made of dark energy shot forward with a fearless momentum, as if nothing in the world could stop it.


    Boom! Bang! Bang!


    Zhao Feng''s fist punched straight through the giant storm dragon.


    One had to realize that, now that Zhao Feng had reached the third level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, his Chaos Origin Divine Power was essentially unequalled in Rank Eight.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Cheng Yun''s expression went slack. The Divine Power attack of a Giant God Race member had actually lost to an ordinary Rank Eight Ancient God from an outsider race?


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s left eye surged with powerful Eye Intent.


    Soul attack! Ancient God Cheng Yun grimaced.


    The people outside the array also turned grim. When one mentioned soul attacks, the first thing they thought of was the Ancient Soul Race. Moreover, the soul truly was one of the Giant God Race''s weaknesses.


    "Wind Lightning Illusion Prison!" Zhao Feng''s left eye exploded with lightning.


    The Lightning energy continued to swell as it absorbed more and more of the surrounding Wind energy. Eventually, it took the form of an enormous Wind Lightning net that restrained Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    Swish!


    The energy constantly exuded by this net of Wind Lightning dealt terrible damage to Ancient God Cheng Yun''s body and soul. Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye was also sending powerfuMllusion energy into the Wind Lightning net, which worked with the numbing effect of the lightning to influence Ancient God Cheng Yun''s mindset and reduce his ability to resist


    His opponent was a member of the Giant God Race, so small-scale eye-bloodline techniques would not be of any use. In his three years of seclusion, Zhao Feng had realized this issue and began to research large-scale soul attacks. This Wind Lightning Illusion Prison was one of them.


    This was an extremely flexible eye-bloodline technique. The Lightning energy could also be fused with Wood, Water, or Metal Intent energy.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun screamed as he was tortured by Zhao Feng''s binding eye-bloodline technique.


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was already on the verge of reaching Rank Nine. Even though Zhao Feng didn''t use any Origin energy, Ancient God Cheng Yun still found it hard to resist this eye-bloodline technique.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly pulsed with Eye Intent It was clear that he was planning to use another eye-bloodline technique.


    "Halt!" At this moment, the Grand Elder spoke.


    The entire world seemed to freeze. All energy scattered and dispersed as if it had never existed.


    "The outcome is decided." The Grand Elder spat out these words.


    As a God Lord, he was capable of seeing many things from this short battle. If the battle continued, Ancient God Cheng Yun would definitely lose, so it was better to just end the battle early so that the Giant God Race could preserve some of its dignity.


    "No! How could it be like this?" Ancient God Cheng Yun was extremely unwilling, but he did not dare defy the Grand Elder''s will.


    The battle ended, and Zhao Feng was prepared to leave when he suddenly spotted a bewitching man with purple-red hair in the crowd.

 1358 Ancestral Legacy Treasury

    Chapter 1358 - Ancestral Legacy Treasury


    "Nan Gongsheng!?" Zhao Feng blurted out in surprise.


    He never would''ve imagined that he would see Nan Gongsheng here.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng immediately flew over.


    The nearby Giant God Race members still did not like Zhao Feng, but since he had obtained the recognition of the Grand Elder and was also rumored to have some connection to Lord Wuheng, they would not go out of their way to challenge Zhao Feng.


    "I didn''t think you would be here as well." Zhao Feng smiled.


    Nan Gongsheng was currently a Rank Six True God. After all, he had inherited the strength of an Ancient God and was endowed with exceptional cultivation talent, so reaching this level was very normal.


    Even more surprising though was that the evil thoughts in Nan Gongsheng''s body were clearly weaker compared to back in the Continent Zone.


    "When I came to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, I ran into Xin Wuheng. With nowhere else to go, I followed him to this place," Nan Gongsheng explained.


    Now that he thought about it, he was extremely lucky. He had offended a four-and-a-half-star faction and nearly lost his life to their pursuit until Xin Wuheng managed to rescue him. Afterward, Xin Wuheng helped to suppress the evil thoughts in his body, which allowed his personality to slowly improve.


    "That''s right...! Come and meet an old friend!" Zhao Feng smiled as he called Kun Yun out.


    "Nan Gongsheng?"


    "Kun Yun!?"


    The two stared at each other in shock as they simultaneously blurted out.


    Kun Yun stared at Nan Gongsheng and, noticing that he couldn''t fathom his cultivation level, immediately became rather envious. However, since Nan Gongsheng had inherited a part of Ancient God Xie Yang''s strength, it wasn''t strange for him to have achieved this level. Moreover, Nan Gongsheng had entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods before reaching the True God level.


    The three of them looked at each other and couldn''t help but smile. They never would''ve expected that the three experts of the Hall of Gods would all be gathered together in this place.


    Now that they thought about it, a very long time had passed since then. When they were in the Continent Zone, the three of them had joined together for the sake of their personal interests, but now that they were no longer bound by self-interest, the three of them walked and chatted with each other more carefreely than they had ever been before.


    In the end, Kun Yun was determined to remain here. Although this place discriminated against outsiders, he still found it much better than Black Devil Peak. He wanted to struggle in this adverse environment and get stronger and stronger until he could reach Nan Gongsheng''s level. Zhao Feng was simply too unreachable.


    "That''s right! Nan Gongsheng, let me give something to you!" Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something. By now, he had already duplicated many portions of Heavenly God Liquid.


    He had already given a portion to Kun Yun, but Kun Yun was keeping it so that he could use it at the right moment Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out a small glass bottle, within which was a white crystalline liquid.


    "This is Heavenly God Liquid. It has a certain chance of assisting anyone within the nine ranks of True God of breaking into the next rank. The lower one''s cultivation level, the higher the chance, and one''s foundation won''t be unstable afterward." Zhao Feng gave him the Heavenly God Liquid, but it was up to him to decide when to take it.


    "To think that there was such a treasure!" Nan Gongsheng was stunned.


    From its effect, he could see just how precious this Heavenly God Liquid was. He decided to immediately consume this treasure and try for Ancient God.


    In this fashion, Zhao Feng spent several days in Giant God Hall.


    One day, Xin Wuheng''s voice resounded in Zhao Feng''s mind; "Zhao Feng, come to my place!"


    When Zhao Feng arrived at Xin Wuheng''s palace, he realized that all the experts of the Giant God Race that were Rank Eight or above had gathered here.


    "Wuheng, you called him over as well?" Next to Xin Wuheng, the Grand Elder furrowed his brow.


    The entire palace immediately fell silent.


    There were also some other Giant God Race experts who wanted to exclude Zhao Feng. After all, what they were about to do next involved one of the most important secrets of the Giant God Race. If not for the fact that the Giant God Race was currently lacking in manpower, not even they would have had the right to participate, and now they were even allowing an outsider to participate!?


    "Zhao Feng once assisted me in protecting the Ancient God Seal, and he was also pursued by Ancient Soul Hall, and yet he still delivered the Ancient God Seal to me. To reward him, I have decided to let him participate in this matter!" Xin Wuheng solemnly said, his tone tolerating no objection.


    Many of the experts slightly shook their heads, but they said nothing.


    Zhao Feng was quite taken aback. He didn''t expect that, even though Xin Wuheng had not cultivated to the level of God Lord, he was still so greatly trusted in his position as Hall Master.


    However, he had heard a few things from Nan Gongsheng about Xin Wuheng.


    In his previous life, Xin Wuheng was a peerless genius of the Giant God Race. He not only had a thick bloodline, but incredible comprehension abilities. In just three thousand years, he had advanced to the God Lord level. Even in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, this was a legendary feat.


    The Giant God Race had entrusted all their hopes on him. If not for the coup in Ancient God Hall, Xin Wuheng might have become a God King, reigning over the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and guiding its destiny!


    At this time, the members of the Giant God Race had probably once more entrusted their hopes to Xin Wuheng, firmly believing that he would guide them to greatness.


    "Zhao Feng, this Ancient God Seal is not merely the symbol of Ancient God Hall Master''s identity, but also the key to opening the mysterious Ancestral Legacy Treasury of the Giant God Race!" Xin Wuheng finally revealed the secret of the Ancient God Seal.


    Ancestral Legacy Treasury?


    His interest piqued, Zhao Feng quietly listened.


    In a distant era, the members of the Giant God Race had a thin bloodline and mediocre comprehension abilities. But in a certain era, an ancestor accidentally opened up a mysterious treasury, after which the race produced several God Lords in the span of a short several thousand years, allowing it to become one of the peak five-star factions of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Producing several God Lords in a row? This Ancestral Legacy Treasury seems just a little too ridiculous.... Zhao Feng couldn''t help but inwardly muse.


    If this was true, then the moment the Giant God Race could open up this Ancestral Legacy Treasury and take control of its benefits, they would need only a short while to grow strong enough to contend against Ancient Soul Hall.


    He found it difficult to imagine that the Ancient God Seal he had been using all this time was actually related to such an important secret


    "Wuheng! Open the Giant God Race''s Ancestral Legacy Treasury! Your group will go in while I will stand guard here!" the Grand Elder coldly said.


    He was the strongest, so he had given up his right to enter the treasury to stand guard over the Giant God Race. One could see that the Grand Elder truly was single-mindedly devoted to the Giant God Race.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    At this moment, the domain outside the palace began to tremble. The Grand Elder slightly frowned, and he sent out his Divine Sense to communicate with the people outside.


    "Not good! Ancient Soul Hall is attacking!" The Grand Elder grimaced.


    "If we open the treasury but Ancient Soul Hall manages to break in, we''ll be finished!"


    "Damn! Just how did they know where we were!?"


    The upper echelon members began to sigh.


    "There might be a spy!" a Rank Eight Ancient God with a cold and sinister gaze softly grumbled.


    Everyone immediately shot a glance at Zhao Feng.


    For Ancient Soul Hall to attack at this crucial moment was far too suspicious. It was very normal to suspect a spy. Zhao Feng was the newest arrival, and he was also an outsider. It was very natural for him to be the first suspect.


    "Let''s withdraw!" The Grand Elder''s expression dimmed as he vanished from the hall.


    All the others swiftly took their leave.


    It didn''t take long before all the members of Giant God Hall were gathered.


    "Withdraw from this area!" the Grand Elder called out as he took out an enormous steel fortress.


    This ancient fortress had wings around it. It was clearly a large-scale flying tool. It took only a few seconds for everyone to get into the fortress.


    Boom!


    The ancient fortress rumbled as it flew straight up into the sky. Once it reached a certain height, the fortress passed through the domain and appeared in the sea.


    The entire world was pitch-black as if the apocalypse had descended.


    "Remnants of the Giant God Race, hand over the Ancient God Seal and submit!"


    In the center of a black cloud was a God Lord of the Ancient Soul Race, his body translucent and his facial features blurred. He spoke in a cold and sinister voice.


    "Ancient Soul Race... God Lord Gloomheaven!" The Grand Elder furiously glared.


    Other than God Lord Gloomheaven, there was one other God Lord that he did not recognize. And given the number of Ancient God experts present, it was clear that the Ancient Soul Race had mobilized all its forces.


    "Not good! Ancient Soul Hall is already here!"


    In terms of speed, the Ancient Soul Race was far superior to the Giant God Race. Moreover, the Giant God Race was using a large-scale flying tool, slowing them down even more.


    The Giant God Race members all understood this.


    "Everyone, follow me to intercept Ancient Soul Hall so we can buy Lord Wuheng a chance to escape!" the Grand Elder said. This was the best solution available.


    The ancient fortress immediately fell silent Whether they lived or died hinged upon this choice.


    Unexpectedly, however, the vast majority of the members quickly agreed. Nan Gongsheng and Xin Wuheng were members of Giant God Hall, so they had no reason to escape, nor did they choose to escape.


    Zhao Feng walked over and gave the two of them a few objects that could save their lives.


    "Wuheng, take a few people with you and escape in secret so you can open the Giant God Race''s treasury." The Grand Elder solemnly gazed at Xin Wuheng.


    All the people in the fortress stared at their hall master. At this moment, no one was burdened with more pressure than Xin Wuheng.


    "Of course, we will not fight to the death. After holding them down for a while, we will flee with all our power...." the Grand Elder began to explain his plan.


    At a certain point, the Giant God Race''s flying fortress came to a stop.


    "Want to surrender?" God Lord Gloomheaven sneered.


    In truth, they had discovered Giant God Hall''s hidden location a long time ago. They only waited until now because they were waiting for the Giant God Race to get back the Ancient God Seal. After all, the Ancient God Seal had been in Zhao Feng''s possession, and the Spiritual Race, with whom Zhao Feng resided, was very difficult to deal with.


    "You look down on the Giant God Race too much!" The Grand Elder flew out from the fortress, erupting with terrifying bloodline pressure.


    Dazzling white light exploded outward, scattering away the darkness.


    Boom!


    A giant so massive that it was difficult to describe loomed over the earth. The world quaked and groaned as if it was experiencing a calamity.


    "Giant God Race...." God Lord Gloomheaven solemnly stared at the Grand Elder.


    The majority of the members of the Giant God Race had extremely thin bloodlines. Those with thick bloodlines were extremely rare, but the Grand Elder was one of them; a true expert of the Giant God Race. In a one-on-one duel, he would never dare to fight the Grand Elder.


    "Someone escaped from that fortress just now!" the other God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall suddenly whispered.


    "Go after them!" God Lord Gloomheaven whispered back, and his body vanished, a moment later appearing in front of the Grand Elder.


    "Don''t even think about getting past me!" the Grand Elder angrily roared. He waved his palm, immediately erecting an enormous earthen wall behind him that divided the world in two.


    At this moment, the other members of Giant God Hall began to emerge.


    When the Grand Elder revealed his true form, Xin Wuheng secretly escaped with a few people. Zhao Feng was in this group. He was an outsider, so the Giant God Race naturally could not allow him to remain to cover their retreat.


    "A God Lord from one of the top twenty ancient races truly is capable of destroying a world!" With his left eye, Zhao Feng could still see how the two factions were faring.


    The shock the Grand Elder had given Zhao Feng was greater than that of God Lord Heavenly Solitude. This man could destroy a four-and-a-half-star faction with just a stomp of his foot!

 1359 Trap

    Chapter 1359 - Trap


    "Lord Wuheng, where are we going?" Ancient God Cheng Yun asked.


    The Grand Elder had chosen three people in total to follow Xin Wuheng: the Rank Eight Ancient God Sundermount, peak Rank Eight Ancient God Cheng Yun, and the last was the peak Rank Eight Ancient God Resplendence.


    After all, the majority of the Ancient Gods needed to remain to hold down the forces from Ancient Soul Hall. Three people was the most that could be mobilized.


    "Let''s get away from here first. Only then can we allow our comrades to retreat earlier!" Xin Wuheng whispered.


    As long as they could escape these dangerous circumstances, the members of the Giant God Race who remained could make their own escape. Thus, Xin Wuheng currently had no other goal except to get away from here as quickly as possible.


    "Someone is coming," Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    Ancient Soul Hall had numerous members and formidable strength. Even if the Giant God Race used all its strength, it was not capable of stopping everyone. Moreover, Ancient Soul Hall''s true goal was the Ancient God Seal. They naturally would think of every method to get past the Grand Elder''s defense line.


    "What''s the situation?" Xin Wuheng directly asked.


    The rest of them were taken aback. They could sense nothing at all, but Xin Wuheng completely trusted Zhao Feng and asked him what was going on?


    "One Rank Nine Ancient God and two Rank Eights!" Zhao Feng used his senses to determine the cultivation levels of the opposition.


    The three members of Ancient Soul Hall quickly entered the sensory range of the rest of the group.


    "It really is the case!" Ancient God Resplendence had a look of disbelief. Was Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense stronger than all of theirs?


    "It''s only three people! Even if they catch up, there''s no way they can do anything to us." Ancient God Cheng Yun breathed a sigh of relief.


    If a large group was chasing them down, or perhaps even a half-step God Lord or actual God Lord, they would truly be doomed.


    No, they might not have any plans to fight with us," Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun and the others were confused for a moment, but then they instantly understood.


    "In a fight, they would be no match for us. The goal of these three is probably just to follow us...." Ancient God Resplendence''s expression instantly darkened.


    As long as the trio managed to keep up, Ancient Soul Hall could continue to send reinforcements, at which point the group from the Giant God Race would find it extremely difficult to escape.


    "Damn, to think they would do such a thing!" Ancient God Sundermount was furious.


    The Ancient Soul Hall trio kept a fixed distance between them, neither catching up or falling behind.


    It would be exceedingly difficult to throw off this group. However, if they turned around and tried to attack, this trio would definitely choose to run, and the Giant God Race group wouldn''t be able to do anything. Moreover, if they chose to attack and didn''t swiftly bring an end to the battle, the Giant God Race group would just be delaying themselves, and they would be placed in an even greater predicament.


    For a moment, the four members of the Giant God Race group and Zhao Feng had grim expressions.


    "I have a plan." In this dour mood, Zhao Feng suddenly spoke.


    The other members of the group immediately turned to him in surprise.


    "What plan?" Xin Wuheng immediately asked. The situation was extremely dire, and not even he had an idea of what to do. "I''ll stay while the rest of you leave first...."


    Four hundred thousand li away:


    "Haha, we just need to follow them, and then once the reinforcements from Ancient Soul Hall arrive, we can exterminate them and seize back the Ancient God Seal!" The black-robed elder of the Ancient Soul Race leading this group coldly chuckled.


    Their objective was the Ancient God Seal. In comparison, killing the members of the Giant God Race was rather unimportant


    "Elder, just what is that Ancient God Seal that the Giant God Race possesses? To think that Ancient Soul Hall would go through so much trouble to obtain it!" a red-skinned man asked. He was not a member of the Ancient Soul Race, so there were many things that he was not clear about.


    "Long ago, Ancient Soul Hall was ruled jointly by the Ancient Soul Race and the Giant God Race. The reason the Ancient Soul Race had a falling out with the Giant God Race and attacked them was the Ancient God Seal!" The black-clothed elder smiled.


    "Just what sort of mysteries does the Ancient God Seal contain?" The red-skinned man attentively listened and continued with his questions.


    Just what sort of secrets did the Ancient God Seal hide that it would make two major races turn hostile to each other?


    "This Ancient God Seal can open up the Giant God Race''s Ancestral Legacy Treasury. You should know that the Ancestral Legacy Treasury allowed the Giant God Race to produce two God Lords in the span of just a few thousand years!"


    These words left the two Rank Eight Ancient Gods utterly flabbergasted. Excluding God Kings, God Lords were the supreme experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, controlling the very forces of nature.


    "That''s too formidable.... We have to get it!" Avaricious looks immediately appeared on the faces of the two Rank Eight Ancient Gods.


    "It''s rumored that this Ancestral Legacy Treasury doesn''t just hold the secret to advancing to God Lord; it might even be connected to one of the mythical races in the top ten of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races...." the black-clothed elder whispered.


    The top ten ancient races! The two other Ancient Gods felt their hearts shiver.


    Even a race as strong as the Giant God Race was only ranked 15th. Those ranked in the top ten were almost all extinct or taboo races. The rank 7th Light Race, rank 8th Golden Crow Race, rank 9th Destruction Dragon Race; every one of them was a legendary and forbidden existence, and that treasury was actually linked to these top ten races!?


    "Elder, the situation has changed!" The red-skinned man suddenly slowed down.


    "What''s going on? That kid remained behind to stop us to protect the Giant God Race?" The other Rank Eight Ancient God couldn''t help but chortle.


    With their Divine Senses, they noticed that Zhao Feng alone had suddenly stopped while the rest were rapidly moving away. Their Divine Senses could detect no change in their soul energies, indicating that this was not a trap. Xin Wuheng and the others had truly left.


    "Kill him quickly! We can''t lose their trail!" The elder''s eyes flashed with cold light Swish! Swish! Swish!


    A moment later, the three of them used Instant Movement to rush at Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, I truly admire your sense of righteousness. You would actually sacrifice your life for the Giant God Race? However, your efforts are pointless!" the black-clothed elder barked, his body surging with powerful ripples of Soul energy.


    "Relax. Once you''re dead, they''ll quickly be accompanying you!" The red-skinned man gave a wicked chuckle.


    The two Rank Eights and one Rank Nine planned to swiftly obliterate Zhao Feng.


    But Zhao Feng stood where he was, completely unflustered.


    "Haha, could none of you tell that this was a trap?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    "Oh no!" The elder''s expression dimmed.


    Although he still hadn''t noticed anything strange, Zhao Feng''s words immediately gave him an ill foreboding.


    Of course, Zhao Feng might also just be planning to buy time with these words, so he decided that it was better to kill Zhao Feng first


    "Soul-Destroying Wave!" The elder circulated his soul energy and prepared to unleash a powerful soul attack.


    "Come out!" Zhao Feng''s left eye began to turn.


    Bzzz! Swoosh!


    In front of him, four vortexes of Eye Intent emerged, producing four people.


    "This is a Spatial technique!" The elder instantly understood.


    It turned out that Zhao Feng had left marks on the four members of the Giant God Race. While the four of them escaped from the range of the Ancient Soul Hall trio''s Divine Senses, they had not fled entirely. Now that the trio from Ancient Soul Hall was here, Zhao Feng used these marks to shift the four members of the Giant God Race through space and bring them here.


    "Ancient Soul Hall, die!" Ancient God Resplendence immediately moved out, circulating her bloodline energy as she punched. Although her body did not grow larger, a massive phantom arm appeared around her fist, suffused with enormous energy.


    "Giant God Finger!" Xin Wuheng gathered his bloodline energy and the energy of the world and thrust out his finger. The finger exploded with dazzling light, and a massive and nigh tangible image of a finger appeared. Gathering Earth Intent around it, it shot forward like an enormous pillar of heaven.


    Even before this finger descended, the members of Ancient Soul Hall felt an enormous pressure on their bodies. The blood in the bodies of the two Rank Eight Ancient Gods froze, and they become incapable of moving, much less escaping.


    The black-robed elder stared at this all in shock. The majority of the Giant God Race members weren''t that scary, but those with truly thick bloodlines had the dreadful power to destroy the heavens. An example of this was Xin Wuheng. The elder didn''t even dare to think about trying to oppose him.


    "Ancient Soul Body Transfer!" The elder stopped his soul attack and began to execute a secret art. A moment later, his body became translucent black, as if he had completely transformed into a soul body.


    The Ancient Soul Race''s techniques were all linked to the soul. Soul bodies were innately immune to many wounds, but the souls of the Ancient Soul Race were even more formidable in their defensive aspects. In using this secret art, one could block lethal attacks from experts who were a little higher in level.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The attacks of the Giant God Race landed.


    "Hmph, nothing but foolish clowns!" Ancient God Cheng Yun coldly sneered.


    In this head-on confrontation, the trio from Ancient Soul Hall was instantly exterminated.


    At this moment Whoosh!


    In a fierce gust of wind, a weak black light shot into the distance.


    "Not good! The Rank Nine Ancient God used a secret art and managed to escape!" Ancient God Sundermount called out in alarm.


    A soul body could move at several times the speed of an ordinary Ancient God and was extremely hard to catch.


    Suddenly, a bolt of Eye Intent flew by.


    Kacrack!


    The black-robed elder, who had already fled more than one hundred thousand li, was immediately struck by Tribulation Lightning Flame.


    His soul had already been badly wounded from the attacks of the Giant God Race, and now he was struck Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame. After struggling for a few moments, the black-robed elder was slain.


    "Dead!?" Ancient God Cheng Yun was surprised.


    All of them couldn''t help but look at Zhao Feng. That eye-bloodline technique was naturally his. He had clearly fired off that eye-bloodline technique almost instantly; it seemed like he had already predicted everything and knew the route the elder would take to escape. The eye-bloodline technique was extraordinarily accurate and had instantly eliminated the black- robed elder''s weakened soul.


    "Let''s go!" Xin Wuheng called out.


    Every second they delayed was in exchange for the lives of the other members of the Giant God Race!


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    They hurriedly used Instant Movement to flee.


    One day later, they finally stopped to rest in a deserted area that had very little Yuan Qi.


    "What''s the situation?" Xin Wuheng looked to Zhao Feng.


    "I don''t see anything. We should be safe!" Zhao Feng said.


    "Lord Wuheng, what should we do now?" Ancient God Sundermount immediately asked.


    "Open the Ancestral Legacy Treasury! All of you will come in with me!" Xin Wuheng solemnly said.


    They all trembled. They had all heard about the Ancestral Legacy Treasury controlled by the Giant God Race, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.


    "We have to get a big harvest from the Ancestral Legacy Treasury so that we can help the Giant God Race rise again!" Ancient God Cheng Yun thumped his chest and said.


    The group traveled deep underground and laid down a concealment array.


    Swish!


    Xin Wuheng took out the Ancient God Seal and prepared to open the Ancestral Legacy Treasury.

 1360 Opening

    Chapter 1360 - Opening


    In an underground space, Xin Wuheng quickly laid down a secret Heaven''s Legacy array.


    The Ancient God Seal was clearly connected to the Heaven''s Legacy Race. In order to open the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, one had to have some understanding of the culture and skills of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    The Ancient God experts of the Giant God Race all knew that the inheritance of the Giant God Race contained significant knowledge of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s culture and arts, but one needed sufficient status to be permitted to comprehend it. But only a few of them knew that this knowledge of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s culture was passed on specifically for the purpose of opening the Ancestral Legacy Treasury.


    Once the array was complete, Xin Wuheng began to form a spell with his hands. Countless dark green characters of various sizes wriggled like tadpoles into the array.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    In a flash, an abstruse and cryptic array had formed.


    "Go!" Xin Wuheng threw the Ancient God Seal into the center of the array.


    A moment later, countless thin green strings flew out of the array and attached themselves to the Ancient God Seal. Suddenly, the Ancient God Seal began to shudder, and the green strings began to glimmer with bright light Clingclang!


    Under Xin Wuheng''s control, the Ancient God Seal suddenly began to transform. A few moments later, it finished morphing into a black metal gate.


    Whoosh!


    A straight crack appeared in the center of the gate, timeworn and mysterious light emerging from it Gradually, the gate opened, completely enveloping the group in that blinding and mysterious light.


    Engulfed in this light, Zhao Feng discovered that his Divine Sense and his sensory organs were all severely suppressed. At the same time, he found that all his movements had also gotten much slower.


    "Time Intent!" Zhao Feng''s heart thumped.


    This was only the light emerging from that pathway, and yet it already contained such high-level Intent. It appeared that this Ancestral Legacy Treasury was highly unusual.


    The other Ancient Gods also sensed this high-level Time Intent


    Go in!" Xin Wuheng called out. All of them had already been getting impatient, so they immediately rushed in.


    After a moment of chaos, Zhao Feng suddenly felt his body get heavy as he appeared above a grassy plain. He was immediately assailed by a timeworn and ancient energy. There was no need to even think to know that this was an extremely old dimension.


    Xin Wuheng and the others were all present at Zhao Feng''s side.


    Their first reaction was to observe their surroundings. After all, they knew nothing at all about the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. Even Xin Wuheng was entering it for the first time.


    "Mm?" Zhao Feng was rather startled.


    Upon his first attempt at using it, he discovered that this area restricted his Divine Sense and other senses to ten percent of normal.


    Originally, as an Ancient God, he should have been able to grasp an area for two to three hundred thousand li around him with a single sweep of his Divine Sense. But now, his Divine Sense covered only around thirty thousand li.


    The looks on the others'' faces indicated that they were also rather alarmed by this powerful suppression.


    But even though Zhao Feng''s vision was restrained, it was still far greater than the ordinary person''s. He had also discovered that, if he pushed his see-through ability to its absolute limit, he could also increase the range of his vision.


    "This is not the extent of this place''s restrictions!" Xin Wuheng suddenly called out


    At these words, they also noticed another abnormality; Xin Wuheng had spoken these words a little slower than normal.


    "Time Intent." Zhao Feng immediately noticed what was going on. After all, he had reached the peak of Level Four in Time Intent


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Sundermount was in disbelief. At this moment, all of them were speaking a little slower than they usually did.


    "Let''s not worry about this for now. Searching for the treasury is more important!" Xin Wuheng bluntly stated.


    When he inherited the Ancient God Seal, he had heard from the Giant God Race God Lord of the time that the Ancestral Legacy Treasury was a place of many opportunities, but also of many dangers. Moreover, the Giant God Race had built a personal treasury in this place, within which the Giant God Race stored the precious resources it had accumulated over the years.


    Swish!


    Xin Wuheng took out the Ancient God Seal. Only through the Ancient God Seal could he detect the rough direction of the Giant God Race''s treasury.


    With a rough idea of where to go, the group traveled along while observing this dimension that had been isolated from the world.


    "Look there!" Ancient God Cheng Yun pointed to the left as he cried out.


    That place just so happened to be at the very limits of their Divine Senses. It was a group of small puddles, and there were several white flowers growing next to the nearest puddle, giving off a faint luster that made them rather striking.


    "It''s just some ordinary Time Origin Flowers. What are you shouting and yelling about?" Ancient God Sundermount growled.


    Time Intent was extremely powerful and extremely difficult to grasp. The cultivation resources associated with it were also exceedingly rare.


    Time Origin Flowers were rather low-level and more commonplace Time cultivation resources. The vast majority of low-level True Gods would buy Time Origin Flowers and use them to try and comprehend Time Intent. If they found Time Intent too difficult to comprehend, they would give up, but if they managed to comprehend something, this would indicate that they had some talent in Time Intent.


    "It looks to me like you didn''t try to cultivate Time Intent when you were still a True God." Ancient God Cheng Yun faintly smiled.


    Ancient God Sundermount''s expression froze. Back then, he found Time Intent to be too difficult and that it provided too little of a boost in offensive power, so he never even tried to cultivate it


    Zhao Feng was listening the entire time. He had directly become a Rank Seven Ancient God, so he didn''t experience what a low-level True God would experience.


    "Time Origin Flowers aren''t that valuable, but because they have strong vitality, as they live longer and longer, they slowly gain the strength of Time Intent And each petal indicates that it has lived for an additional one hundred million years!" Ancient God Resplendence took in a deep breath as she stared in shock.


    Zhao Feng focused his gaze and saw that the vast majority of those Time Origin Flowers had more than six petals, and there was even one with twelve petals.


    "1.2 billion years!" Zhao Feng muttered in shock.


    This was the first time he had ever seen such an ancient cultivation resource.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A moment later, all of them began to fly over to that puddle. Although Time Origin Flowers were low-level cultivation resources, even the most ordinary resource would become precious once it became more than one billion years old.


    Once they had finished dividing up the Time Origin Flowers, they discovered that all the other puddles had their own precious resources. Though this array of resources was not particularly valuable for Ancient Gods, they were all extremely old.


    "This really is a treasury!" Ancient God Cheng Yun sighed in wonder as he flew forward.


    "Wait a moment!" Xin Wuheng suddenly called out.


    The Giant God Race elder had warned him that, though the Ancestral Legacy Treasury was a place of many opportunities, it was also fraught with danger.


    If they had only discovered some Time Origin Flowers, he wouldn''t have thought too deeply about the matter, but since there were many more treasures up ahead, this place could be considered a minor treasure ground with the corresponding danger. With their Divine Senses suppressed to ten percent of normal, and even further lowered by the presence of any physical obstructions, it was best to be a little more cautious.


    Brrrooom!


    At this moment, all of them sensed that the earth had begun to tremble. Suddenly, a Yao God in the form of a serpent dragon suddenly emerged from the ground in front of Ancient God Cheng Yun. The Yao God''s body was a glossy silver, and its white eyes stared coldly at the group.


    The moment this Yao God appeared, all of them sensed an enormous aura that was seemingly linked to the world, and all of them felt as if there was an immense weight on their shoulders.


    "Only peak Rank Eight, and yet it makes me feel so afraid!" Cheng Yun stared in shock at this Yao God.


    "For disturbing my rest and stealing from my territory, I will make you fertilizer for this land!" the serpent dragon Yao God howled as its body writhed forward.


    Swish!


    The Yao God charged at Ancient God Cheng Yun in a silver flash, its mouth opening wide and unleashing a wave of formidable Divine Power.


    "So fast!" Ancient God Cheng Yun grimaced as he fell back.


    However, he discovered that the hindrance of the powerful Time Intent made him at least two times slower than normal. Thwish!


    Xin Wuheng activated his bloodline power and charged forward. The formidable Giant God Race bloodline greatly reduced the effects of the Time Intent on him.


    "Scorching Gale Palm!" Xin Wuheng circulated Divine Power and began to fuse the Fire and Wind energy of the world into his attack. Kabooom!


    A massive palm of wind and fire howled forward.


    The Scorching Gale Palm was supposed to be a swift and explosive attack, but it was much slower in this place.


    "Hmph, a petty trick!" The serpent dragon Yao God twisted its body, exuding high-level Time Intent.


    Xin Wuheng''s attack was instantly slowed down by this Time Intent. The Yao God was then able to dodge the attack by slightly shifting its body.


    "This..."


    For a moment, everyone, including Xin Wuheng, was speechless.


    "This Yao God''s Time Intent has reached Level Seven!" Zhao Feng mumbled in shock.


    Although Time Intent could not directly increase the power of Divine Power attacks, there was a reason it was considered one of the strongest Intents. Not even ordinary Rank Nine Ancient Gods would be able to last a few blows against someone of Xin Wuheng''s strength, but this peak Rank Eight Yao God was still able to contend against him.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Cheng Yun was forced back several li by the Yao God, but his Giant God Race blood had endowed with incredible defensive capabilities. In addition, he discovered that, though the Yao God arrived with a grandiose momentum and was equipped with powerful and astonishing Time Intent, its Divine Power attacks were only close to that of a Rank Nine Ancient God and weren''t too unreasonable.


    "Attack together!" Ancient God Resplendence immediately yelled.


    The group of five began to jointly attack the serpent dragon Yao God.


    After battling for a while, the Yao God discovered that this group had unusual strength. Even with its Time Intent, it was incapable of defeating them.


    During this battle, Zhao Feng attempted to attack with eye-bloodline techniques, but he discovered that this Yao God had an extremely tenacious Soul Intent that could fend off his soul attacks.


    "Your damn race...!" The serpent dragon Yao God, its body covered with terrible wounds, attempted to flee.


    "Where are you going!?" Ancient God Resplendence immediately called out as she took out a binding-type Divine artifact.


    The five of them had ganged up on a single Rank Eight Yao God. If they allowed it to run, they would have no pride to speak of.


    In the end, the five of them used some of their true abilities to swiftly slay the Yao God.


    Upon dissecting it, they realized that this Yao God''s entire body was a treasure. For example, the Water Spirit Serpent Spine contained both Water and Time Intent, and it was the ideal material for creating binding-type divine weapons. As for the Water Origin Heart Vein, consuming it could allow one to increase their vitality and strengthen the crystal veins of their divine body, repairing hidden injuries. It could also be used to cultivate Time Intent.


    Through this dissection, the group realized that this Yao God had lived for more than one billion years. The materials making up its body were so valuable precisely because it had lived for so long.


    "No wonder it was so hard to deal with!" Zhao Feng said in shock.


    Even the least-talented cultivator would be able to sweep over all cultivators of the same rank if they had stayed at that rank for one billion years.


    This Ancestral Legacy Treasury truly was an abnormal place.

 1361 Arriving at the Treasury

    Chapter 1361 - Arriving at the Treasury


    In the Chixing Zone, the battle between Ancient Soul Hall and the Giant God Race resulted in the utter destruction of the surrounding area.


    The two sides didn''t battle for long before the Giant God Race beat a hurried retreat. Ancient Soul Hall was more worried about finding Xin Wuheng and the Ancient God Seal, so they did not pursue.


    High up in the air, within a complex of black palaces, the air was somber and oppressive.


    "Lord Gloomheaven, we have not been able to track down Xin Wuheng''s group!" A member of Ancient Soul Hall was half- kneeled on the ground, his entire body trembling.


    "You useless idiots!" God Lord Gloomheaven bellowed from the highest reaches of the hall.


    Earlier, when the Giant God Race was doing all they could to stop them, Ancient Soul Hall used their full strength to open a gap and send three Ancient Gods through, ordering them to only follow Xin Wuheng''s group. However, they weren''t even been able to complete a simple mission like that and had also lost their lives.


    The upper echelon members of Ancient Soul Hall within this palace all had gloomy and nasty expressions. They had chosen the perfect moment to launch their attack, yet Xin Wuheng still managed to escape with the Ancient God Seal.


    If the Giant God Race really opened up the Ancestral Legacy Treasury and obtained some enormous blessing, it would probably get stronger pretty quickly, at which point Ancient Soul Hall would be in grave peril.


    "God Lord Gloomheaven, why are you so angry?" At this moment, a relaxed and elderly voice drifted into the palace.


    Everyone was immediately taken aback by this voice. Someone who actually dared to act so carefreely in front of God Lord Gloomheaven at a time like this was suicidally audacious.


    Swish!


    Two individuals, one young and one old, suddenly appeared in the palace. The old man had a tall body that was covered in ancient tattoos. He had a white beard that extended all the way to the floor, and he gripped a silver staff in his hand. His eyes were like a vast starry sky as he stared at God Lord Gloomheaven. The young man next to him had essentially the same external traits, but he appeared extremely handsome and refined.


    "Who goes there?" Many of the upper echelon members in the hall grimaced.


    This palace complex had many arrays protecting it, and the conference hall in particular had its own domain, but this pair had entered as if they encountered no obstruction whatsoever. Even more shocking was that they still didn''t know just how this pair managed to get in.


    "God Lord Stellar Aspect, you''re finally here!" God Lord Gloomheaven suddenly calmed down and looked toward the old man.


    "God Lord!?" Only when God Lord Gloomheaven spoke did they all come to know that these visitors were not enemies, but the identity of this elder gave them a fierce jolt.


    "Just as you predicted, we did not get back the Ancient God Seal," God Lord Gloomheaven added.


    When Ancient Soul Hall was preparing to attack the Giant God Race, God Lord Stellar Aspect told him that they would not get the Ancient God Seal in this operation.


    God Lord Gloomheaven was furious at the time. How could a faction as powerful as Ancient Soul Hall not be able to deal with the remnants of the Giant God Race? For this reason, he made up his mind to get back the Ancient God Seal no matter what. But in the end, he still failed.


    "What!? This God Lord actually predicted that?" The members in the hall were once more stunned and were unable to calm back down for quite some time.


    All of them solemnly inspected this pair of visitors, but they discovered that they couldn''t see anything, just like how they had failed to notice earlier that the old man was a God Lord.


    "I was delayed by a few matters, but I presume that you finished the task I assigned you." God Lord Stellar Aspect smiled.


    "It was prepared long ago. Please!" God Lord Gloomheaven immediately stood up.


    The Giant God Race had probably opened the Ancestral Legacy Treasury by now. Ancient Soul Hall could only rely on God Lord Stellar Aspect to salvage the situation.


    The two God Lords and all the experts in the palace moved to a top-secret location.


    In an independent dimension, a massive stone platform had been placed, and on top of this platform was an array drawn out with lines of gold and silver light. Over this array was a hazy diagram of light that appeared to depict the starry sky.


    "When the Giant God Race was opening up the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, we followed your orders and roughly estimated the location of the Ancestral Legacy Treasury!" God Lord Gloomheaven gave a wicked chuckle.


    The Ancestral Legacy Treasury was an independent dimension whose position was constantly shifting throughout the Fan Universe. When the Giant God Race began to open the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, Ancient Soul Hall used a special method to roughly estimate its location.


    "Does Your Excellency have a method of opening the Ancestral Legacy Treasury?" God Lord Gloomheaven probed.


    Back then, he was also one of the members of Ancient God Hall with some understanding of the Ancestral Legacy Treasury.


    This treasury was not only constantly shifting positions, but it could only be accessed through a path created by the Ancient God Seal.


    Opening the Ancestral Legacy Treasury? The many experts of Ancient Soul Hall stared in shock at the pair.


    "Although that dimension can only be opened through the Ancient God Seal, it has already existed for hundreds of millions of years, and given that it also has no master, the dimension should probably have a few cracks," God Lord Stellar Aspect calmly said.


    From these words, everyone could tell that this God Lord had the confidence to open up the Ancestral Legacy Treasury even without the Ancient God Seal!


    "In terms of understanding of that dimension, not even the forefather of the Giant God Race who obtained the Ancient God Seal can compare to this old man, so there is no need for you to worry about that!" God Lord Stellar Aspect gave a confident smile.


    "God Lord Stellar Aspect is too amusing. How could anyone of the Giant God Race possibly compare to you?" God Lord Gloomheaven laughed.


    The Ancient God experts were more and more shocked as they listened to the conversation between these two God Lords. Just where did this God Lord Stellar Aspect come from? He even had the respect of God Lord Gloomheaven and could also construct a path to the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, and he even had a greater understanding of the Ancestral Legacy Treasury than the Giant God Race?


    Swish!


    God Lord Stellar Aspect took out an enormous eight-pointed metal platform, on which a secret array of the Heaven''s Legacy Race had already been drawn out. One hundred and eight small holes had been made around the array, and all kinds of extremely rare gems and stones had been embedded inside them. In the center of the array was a dazzling white ball of light, the ripples of Divine Power it exuded causing everyone to glance at it in fear.


    "This is a supreme-quality God Crystal, and I won''t even mention the resources I consumed to lay out this array. If Ancient Soul Hall does not follow my orders, you will be responsible for the consequences!" God Lord Stellar Aspect''s expression suddenly turned ice-cold.


    "Supreme-quality God Crystal!?" God Lord Gloomheaven was stunned.


    Just like the top ten ancient races, supreme-quality God Crystals were extremely rare in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and essentially priceless. The supreme-quality God Crystal in the center of the array seemed somewhat damaged, but its price was still inestimable.


    God Lord Stellar Aspect''s warning didn''t make him angry, it only filled him with extreme respect.


    This array can send about ten people beneath the God Lord level," God Lord Stellar Aspect indifferently said.


    God Lord Gloomheaven immediately began to pick out members.


    All the upper echelon members present began to vie for a spot It was rumored that the Ancestral Legacy Treasury carried the secret to advancing to God Lord, which was the greatest desire of all Ancient God experts. No matter how dangerous it was in there, they were still willing to try.


    God Lord Gloomheaven first picked out the three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall. He then moved down to the Rank Nine and peak Rank Eights.


    "My disciple will be the commander of this operation," God Lord Stellar Aspect suddenly said.


    Everyone glanced over. Although God Lord Stellar Aspect''s disciple was still young, he was a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    God Lord Gloomheaven immediately removed one of his members. In the end, the team often was formed.


    "Yu Heng, go!" God Lord Stellar Aspect called out


    Back in the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, Zhao Feng''s group was cautiously advancing.


    They had already spent an entire month within the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. The Time Intent suppression meant that they all moved rather slowly, and skills like Instant Movement were also suppressed. Moreover, this place was fraught with danger, so they did not dare to recklessly use Instant Movement anyway. Thus, in this month, they hadn''t managed to travel very far.


    "Ah.... This Ancient God Seal can only give a rough direction, but not how far away it is." Xin Wuheng sighed.


    A month had passed, but they still hadn''t found the treasury that the Giant God Race had established here.


    "Look up ahead!" Ancient God Resplendence suddenly said.


    Far off in the distance was a massive black mountain surrounded by thick black fog. As they approached, Zhao Feng saw that many low-level cultivation resources of extremely old age grew around the edge of this black mountain.


    "The Ancient God Seal is pointing toward that mountain. The treasury left behind by the Giant God Race can''t be up there, can it?" Ancient God Cheng Yun whispered.


    All of them couldn''t help but notice that, as they got closer and closer to the black mountain, the level of the cultivation resources growing around them continued to increase. There were times when they spotted one or two resources that even Rank Eight Ancient Gods would ardently desire.


    But this time, they did not carelessly act. This area was clearly a treasure ground, and it was certain to come with the corresponding danger.


    Meow!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat emerged and gestured at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng looked ahead and activated his see-through ability. Vision could see farther than Divine Sense in this place. "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng suddenly called out "What''s going on?" Xin Wuheng asked.


    "A group of Yao Gods! A Yao God group has occupied this black mountain," Zhao Feng immediately said.


    These words instantly gave all of them headaches. The Yao Gods of this place were far stronger than those in the outside world, and the reason for this was Time Intent.


    They had encountered quite a few Yao Gods over the last month, and almost all of them were able to use high-level Time Intent, making them extremely difficult to deal with. And now, they were approaching an entire nest of Yao Gods?


    "Let''s go!" The group immediately began to flee.


    Time Intent was simply too powerful. If the group of Yao Gods noticed them, they would find it very difficult to escape.


    "This mountain is too dangerous! I hope the treasury isn''t there!" Xin Wuheng took in a deep breath and then led the group around the mountain and forward.


    The more they experienced, the more they feared the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. Even as Ancient Gods, they needed to be cautious, or else they could easily lose their lives.


    After detouring around the black mountain, the Ancient God Seal continued to point in the same direction. Delighted, the group continued forward.


    Suddenly, the white halo around the Ancient God Seal expanded.


    "We''re almost at the Giant God Race treasury!" Xin Wuheng excitedly said.


    Although treasures could be found throughout the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, this place was far too dangerous. The treasury left here by the Giant God Race probably wouldn''t have any dangers for the members of the Giant God Race.


    The group quickly arrived in front of a dark yellow fortress.


    "The Giant God Race treasury!" Ancient God Resplendence rejoiced.


    Surprisingly, the Giant God Race treasury wasn''t far from the black mountain.


    As long as they could get everything out of the treasury, their mission would be completed, and they could go back to their race with their heads held high.


    "Something''s not right," Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    With his left eye, he could see that many special marks and a mix of energies had been left around the treasury that the Giant God Race built Once they got a little closer, Zhao Feng could make out what was going on inside, upon which he paled.


    "The Giant God Race''s treasury has been occupied by a group of Yao Gods!"


    This report from Zhao Feng struck the Giant God Race group like a lightning bolt

 1362 Inciting Discord

    Chapter 1362 - Inciting Discord


    In the complex of black palaces high in the sky:


    "Success!" God Lord Gloomheaven couldn''t help but smile.


    He had earlier been worried that there might be a problem with using this teleportation array and suggested that a Yao beast be sent in first. However, God Lord Stellar Aspect''s disciple was the first to go through the array, which dispelled any of his doubts.


    After all, God Lord Stellar Aspect would not use his own disciple''s life to make a joke. Moreover, each teleportation took immense amounts of energy. After sending over ten people, even this fancy teleportation array began to show signs of damage.


    "Once my disciple enters, he will lay down a sensory array that can increase the efficiency of the teleportation array, but this teleportation array is almost out of energy and has even been damaged. It is best that we do not send in a second batch," God Lord Stellar Aspect calmly said.


    Xin Wuheng only escaped with four people, none of them at Rank Nine. Logically speaking, Ancient Soul Hall''s team was enough to utterly crush them.


    God Lord Stellar Aspect fell into deep thought. When performing the teleportation just now, he sensed the meddling of a high-level Destiny principle. There were truly not many people in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods who could surpass him in understanding of the Dao of Destiny.


    "Could it be that party?" God Lord Stellar Aspect''s eyes became even more profound.


    In truth, even before he first arrived, he sensed an invisible Destiny energy disrupting him, causing him to arrive much later than he had predicted.


    The people around him were all amazed by God Lord Stellar Aspect''s astonishing methods. Ancient Soul Hall was only responsible for determining the rough location of the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, but God Lord Stellar Aspect only needed this bit of information to find a flaw in the Ancestral Legacy Treasury and construct a teleportation corridor.


    In the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, Yu Heng and the members of Ancient Soul Hall arrived in the skies above a forested swamp.


    "This is the Ancestral Legacy Treasury of the Giant God Race?"


    "What a powerful suppression!"


    All of them were unused to this suppression and cried out Only God Lord Stellar Aspect''s disciple Yu Heng was unperturbed. Suddenly, he smiled.


    "Split into three teams. The target is the Ancient God Seal!" Yu Heng spoke.


    This dimension was enormous and could in no way be called a "treasury." The Spacetime suppression made it even more difficult to find a small group of people.


    The three half-step God Lords grimaced. They came to this place with more concern for the secret to becoming a God Lord, but now, they had to listen to a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    However, they all knew who the person backing Yu Heng was. God Lord Stellar Aspect had miraculous skills and even the respect of God Lord Gloomheaven.


    In the end, the ten members of Ancient Soul Hall divided into three teams. Each team was led by a half-step God Lord.


    "This is a map of this place, but it might be very wrong in some places. After all, far too much time has passed...." Yu Heng took out an enormous map.


    The map was extremely simple, roughly sketching out the terrain and marking any particularly dangerous areas.


    At a glance, they noticed that there were forty to fifty of these exceptionally dangerous areas. But they were even more shocked to see that Yu Heng had a map of this place.


    Meanwhile, the Giant God Race team was slowly approaching the Giant God Race treasury.


    The others besides Zhao Feng began to slowly see the signs indicating that Zhao Feng was correct - that this place truly was occupied by a group of Yao Gods.


    "How could it be like this? Occupied by a group of Yao Gods...!" Ancient God Resplendence''s charming face appeared rather dejected.


    "Too much time has passed, causing the defensive arrays of the Giant God Race treasury to slowly weaken until the Yao Gods could break in and occupy the place...." Xin Wuheng sighed.


    For the Giant God Race treasury to have been occupied was a massive blow to their cause. If they were able to obtain all the resources within, the Giant God Race would be able to rapidly strengthen and rise. But at this moment, according to Zhao Feng''s description, there were twenty-some Yao Gods inside. There were even two Rank Nine Yao Gods, and one who seemed to be far stronger than an ordinary Rank Nine.


    Even if they used all their trump cards, they would still probably die to this terrifying group of Yao Gods. Moreover, the Yao Gods of this place were skilled in Spacetime Intent. If they decided to force their way in, there would be no going back.


    "If this is the case, we can only go elsewhere and gather up some resources!" Xin Wuheng immediately thought of another plan.


    Although this place was abundant with precious resources, gathering resources from elsewhere could not compare to directly taking resources from the Giant God Race treasury. Moreover, the resources of this place were biased toward Spacetime Intent, but the Giant God Race needed resources that could quickly improve their raw strength and cultivation. In addition, gathering resources from elsewhere would mean facing many unknown dangers.


    "It''s not like there''s no solution," Zhao Feng suddenly spoke.


    Everyone turned to him in shock.


    "With our strength, trying to force our way into the Giant God Race treasury truly is like smashing a rock with an egg, but we can borrow the strength of others!" Zhao Feng voiced his idea.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun immediately rolled his eyes. "The Yao Gods of this place all hate outsiders. You''ve seen this yourself. Why would they help us?"


    "You''re such an idiot! Don''t you know how to sow discord - borrow the knife of another to commit murder?" Zhao Feng smiled with faint scorn.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun''s expression froze. As for the others, they finally understood what Zhao Feng was getting at.


    "The black mountain from before also happened to have a group of Yao Gods!" Xin Wuheng understood Zhao Feng''s plan.


    "So, you''re saying that we should borrow the strength of the other Yao God group to hold down the Yao God group in the treasury, and then we can use that chance to sneak in and extract the resources?" Ancient God Resplendence was shocked.


    Although the plan was great, the slightest error would have the group surrounded by two groups of powerful Yao Gods, dooming them for sure.


    "Zhao Feng, you probably have a way, right?" Xin Wuheng guessed. He understood Zhao Feng to be someone who rarely did something he wasn''t confident in.


    "Little thieving cat, it''s your turn," Zhao Feng said to the silver cat on his shoulder.


    Just what species is this cat? Xin Wuheng mentally murmured in shock.


    The little thieving cat had accompanied Zhao Feng in the Continent Zone as well. He wasn''t able to see through the little thieving cat then, and he was even less able to do so now.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat put on a face as if it was reluctantly taking on the job, and then it put on the face of someone with an important mission.


    Thwish!


    The little thieving cat understood Zhao Feng''s plan. It vanished into the void and slowly began to approach the Giant God Race treasury.


    "What a high-level spatial movement technique!" Ancient God Sundermount sighed in wonder.


    "That cat doesn''t seem to be affected by this place''s suppression!" Xin Wuheng realized this just now from the little thieving cat''s movements.


    Zhao Feng nodded. The little thieving cat truly was not affected by the suppression of this place. This made him rather envious, and it also made him wonder just what it was about this Heaven''s Legacy Cat that made it so special. But it was also because of this point that he had sent out the little thieving cat


    The first phase of the plan was for the little thieving cat to lure out a single Yao God.


    Sometime after the little thieving cat had left, Zhao Feng suddenly began to move, and the rest followed.


    "Stop there, wild cat!" A savage and ruthless silver tiger was pursuing the little thieving cat.


    The silver tiger was only a Rank Eight Yao God, and though it was skilled in Time Intent, the little thieving cat was still running circles around it.


    "Good! The little thieving cat has successfully lured out a single Yao God." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Once the silver tiger had gotten far enough from the treasury, Zhao Feng''s party attacked.


    "Humans?" The silver tiger seemed to realize something and prepared to flee. After all, it was outnumbered, and one of his enemies was at Rank Nine.


    But at this moment, the little thieving cat extended two claws, which exuded a powerful Sealing Intent that sealed the silver tiger''s power.


    As it was only a Rank Eight, Zhao Feng''s group quickly caught up to the tiger.


    "Restrain it!" Zhao Feng called out


    The members of the Giant God Race surrounded the silver tiger and barraged it with soul attacks.


    "Dark Heart Seal!" Zhao Feng''s left eye condensed a lightning seal that branded the tiger.


    "Good! The first step is complete," Zhao Feng called out.


    After enslaving the Yao God, Zhao Feng was able to gain a greater understanding of the Yao God group in the treasury. Zhao Feng used this Yao God to easily lure out two more Yao Gods, one of which was a peak Rank Eight.


    Zhao Feng had now enslaved three silver tiger Yao Gods.


    "Okay! Now we can incite the other Yao God group." Zhao Feng smugly smiled.


    "What a superb plan!" Ancient God Resplendence praised.


    After a little while, Zhao Feng''s group arrived at the massive black mountain. Zhao Feng controlled the three silver tiger Yao Gods to charge in and kill the Yao Gods of the black mountain, even having them declare heroic words of challenge.


    At first, the Yao Gods of the black mountain were unmoved, but after the silver tiger Yao Gods had challenged them four times, they were finally enraged and dispatched a powerful Yao God to ask the Yao Gods at the treasury what was going on.


    Before they arrived, Zhao Feng had the three silver tiger Yao Gods return to the Giant God Race treasury.


    "Big Bro, the Yao Gods of the black mountain injured us and killed our comrade!"


    "They even said that they''ll be attacking us soon, calling you a sickly tiger and saying that they would devour us and take our territory!" Zhao Feng had two of the silver tiger Ѿao Gods vent their grievances to the Ѿao God leader.


    "Outrageous!" The massive tiger, its body covered in strange silver patterns, immediately turned vicious.


    A little while later, the Yao God from the black mountain arrived. The silver tiger Yao Gods surrounded and killed it.


    The Yao Gods of this place had cruel and ruthless personalities, making it easy to incite discord. The matter quickly intensified, and in less than a month, the two groups of Yao Gods were at war.


    The two large Yao God groups battled it out between the black mountain and the treasury.


    "You called me a sickly tiger, so let me see just how powerful a fat snake like you is!" The massive silver tiger howled to the heavens and began to battle with an enormous green-and-silver python.


    These Yao Gods were both peak Rank Nine, and their battle shook the heavens. Their profound Time Intents made it difficult for bystanders to see their movements, and once one got close, they would enter a world of slow-motion in which movement was difficult.


    "Move out!" Zhao Feng called out


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng quickly approached the treasury. Xin Wuheng was the strongest while Zhao Feng was skilled in concealment and could prevent them from being noticed by the Yao Gods left to guard the treasury.


    Ancient God Resplendence and the others left, their mission being to wait as reserves. The little thieving cat remained near the battlefield. The moment the Yao Gods seemed to be going back, Zhao Feng would immediately know.


    "This way!" Xin Wuheng messaged.


    This was a treasury built by the Giant God Race, so he knew its layout and structure extremely well. Through his see- through ability, Zhao Feng realized that this treasury''s layout was exactly like that small map he had seen carved inside the Ancient God Seal.

 1363 Wanton Plundering

    Chapter 1363 - Wanton Plundering


    Zhao Feng had learned his spatial concealment technique from Ancient God Luo Ling of the Spacetime Sacred Land. He could conceal himself in space while rapidly moving without being detected.


    As for Xin Wuheng, he had reached such a high level of power that he could fuse his aura with the surrounding space. He also had the greatest understanding of the treasury, so he obviously needed to be one of the infiltrators.


    After passing through the main hall, Xin Wuheng slightly paused.


    "The layout of this place has greatly changed. The places where the resources or treasures should have been stored are all empty," Xin Wuheng communicated to Zhao Feng.


    After all, the pack of silver tiger Yao Gods had occupied the Giant God Race treasury for far too long. It was impossible for them to have let the treasures remain for so long. They had probably removed and distributed the treasures among themselves.


    "The Giant God Race should have sealed those resources and treasures." Zhao Feng''s left eye spotted the signs of arrays and conjectured.


    "But since far too much time has passed, those sealing arrays gradually lost power. This allowed those Yao Gods to break them and take the treasures inside. However, there might still be some places where the sealing arrays have not been broken yet," Zhao Feng analyzed.


    "You''re right!" Xin Wuheng was slightly taken aback.


    This was still the outer edge of the treasury. The more important resources were stored farther inside.


    It was the Giant God Race God Lord experts who had laid down the defensive arrays of this place. If it wasn''t for the vast amount of time that had passed, the Yao Gods would have never been able to take any of this place''s treasures and resources.


    "There are two guards over there." Zhao Feng used his see-through ability to examine the situation and relay it to Xin Wuheng.


    For there to be two guards despite the war going on indicated that they were definitely guarding some kind of secret.


    "That place is one of the places where important treasures are stored!" Xin Wuheng''s eyes flashed.


    The pair began to approach the guarded secret hall.


    "How do you think the battle outside is going?" a tiger with somewhat darker silver skin asked.


    "Is there any need to talk about that? It''s definitely us who have the advantage. Ever since we occupied this treasury and began to break the defensive arrays and obtain the treasures within, our strength has been rapidly growing!" The other guard chuckled.


    "You''re right! I wonder who built this treasury. So many treasures are sealed inside. We should be thanking them, haha!"


    The dark silver tiger heartily laughed.


    "Since you want to thank us, thank us with your lives!" Xin Wuheng growled as he emerged and thrust out a finger.


    A bolt of extremely condensed finger energy shot forward like a sharp sword.


    "Oh no!" The silver tiger Yao God immediately grimaced.


    It was just a Rank Eight The moment Xin Wuheng appeared, it sensed that it was in mortal danger.


    Xin Wuheng had been building up the power in this attack for some time, condensing his Divine Power and bloodline power to the extreme. It moved with incredible speed and struck the Yao God.


    Kaploosh!


    A hole appeared in the silver tiger Yao God''s head, going from back to front, blood gushing out from both ends.


    Even if the Yao Gods of this place were stronger than those of the outside world, an ordinary Rank Eight Yao God still could not take even a single blow from Xin Wuheng!


    "You dare intrude-!?" The other silver tiger was both shocked and afraid, and it prepared to communicate with the other Yao Gods.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    At this moment, a twisted bolt of lightning-flame exploded on its soul. This Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame was one of the strongest ones Zhao Feng had unleashed while his Origin energy was sealed.


    The silver tiger''s soul, struck by powerful Tribulation Lightning, was unable to send any sort of message. After not even a second of brief struggle, its soul was destroyed.


    The two glanced at each other. This was the first time since they met each other that they had ever worked together.


    Although Xin Wuheng was an expert of the Giant God Race with an extremely thick bloodline and a cultivation far above Zhao Feng''s, he had never once looked down on him. The soul attack Zhao Feng used just now was already enough to pose a great threat to Xin Wuheng. And Xin Wuheng sensed that Zhao Feng had not used the full power of his left eye.


    Zhao Feng was also amazed by Xin Wuheng''s attack just now. Based on what he had seen, if the Giant God Race used too much of their bloodline energy, they would have to reveal their bodies. However, Xin Wuheng was able to fuse the majority of his bloodline energy into his attack and unleash it without revealing his true body. This level of control over bloodline energy was something that no other member of the Giant God Race could match.


    "We didn''t alarm the other guards," Zhao Feng scanned the surroundings with the God''s Spiritual Eye and said.


    Xin Wuheng then used a secret art to open a small crack in the door of the hall through which they could enter.


    Inside the hall was what appeared to be a finely decorated room in which potted plants and ancient books had been laid out. In truth, however, each of these objects was a famous resource or treasure.


    For example, the books on the table were all high-quality divine rank techniques, and the flower vase next to the books was the high-quality divine-level divine artifact, Myriad Spirit Celestial Vase. It was rumored that this storage divine artifact contained countless small dimensions of various environments, and it had dimensions that could store cold-type resources and dimensions capable of holding fire-type resources.


    "Great! The majority of the treasures and resources in this room have been perfectly preserved!" Xin Wuheng was pleasantly surprised.


    He immediately went up to the table and began to use a secret art to undo the array.


    The arrays here were developed by the Giant God Race and had been fused with the secret arts of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Only the upper echelon members of the Giant God Race knew how to undo them.


    "The Myriad Spirit Celestial Vase...!" It only took a little while for Xin Wuheng to undo the seal on the Myriad Spirit Celestial Vase and take it into his bag.


    "Too slow...." Zhao Feng was rather worried.


    After all, the arrays of this place had been laid down by a God Lord. Even if Xin Wuheng understood how to undo them, undoing them took time. There were fifty to sixty objects of various size in this room alone. If Xin Wuheng undid them one by one, it would take forever.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng walked up to an antique stand. His left eye began to spin, shrouding the antique stand in energy.


    "What are you doing? This place''s arrays use a unique secret of the Giant God Race mixed with a secret art of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Xin Wuheng immediately messaged.


    If the arrays of this place were so easy to undo, the silver tigers would have already plundered this place of all its treasures. God Eye Disintegration!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye flashed with dreamy light, which passed through the antique stand tens of thousands of times.


    In order to reduce consumption, Zhao Feng targeted the sealing array.


    Whoosh!


    The seal where his gaze was focused began to slowly weaken. With the structure of the array damaged, it began to slowly disappear.


    "What eye-bloodline technique is that!?" Xin Wuheng paled in alarm.


    How could such a miraculous eye-bloodline technique exist in this world, able to constantly weaken the power of an array?


    But Xin Wuheng didn''t have time to worry about such things at the moment, and he went back to undoing arrays and collecting resources. Once he finished gathering all the resources excluding the antique stand, Zhao Feng finally finished disintegrating all of the seals covering this stand.


    "Many thanks!" Xin Wuheng smiled.


    The items on this stand were more valuable, and the majority of them were divine artifacts or tools. For this reason, the arrays protecting them were of a higher level. This was why he had not started with this antique stand.


    Once he finished gathering the rest of the items, Zhao Feng had already finished undoing the arrays around the antique stand. This saved Xin Wuheng quite some time.


    After plundering this room, the two of them left to continue their search.


    "Wind God Finger!"


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng joined together to kill a Rank Eight Yao God.


    The two Yao God groups were in the middle of a war, so they had deployed their stronger members in battle while the ordinary Rank Eight Yao Gods were left to guard and patrol their base.


    "Let''s take a look around the center of the treasury," Xin Wuheng said after they finished plundering a small secret chamber. The center of the treasury was where the Giant God Race kept its most valuable treasures.


    "Only two guards!"


    Just like before, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng crept up on different guards and launched lethal attacks.


    Thump!


    The two guards were instantly annihilated by the lethal attacks of Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.


    "Okay!" An elated Xin Wuheng activated a secret art to open the central treasury-


    But as the treasury opened and the pair scanned the area with their Divine Senses, they paled. In the deepest parts of this treasury, a massive silver tiger was resting, its cultivation peak Rank Eight. It was extremely similar to the leader of this group of Yao Gods.


    "You are... humans - intruders?" The silver tiger suddenly got up and stared at Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.


    Outside, the two Yao God groups had battled all day.


    "You actually sent people to infiltrate my treasury!?" The massive silver tiger suddenly grimaced, its cold and vicious eyes staring at the massive silver-green python before it


    "Hmph, I''ve done nothing of the sort. It must be because you''ve offended too many Yao Gods, and they''ve used this chance to infiltrate your treasury." The python laughed.


    "Bullshit! It''s been hundreds of millions of years since I''ve last seen a human!" The silver tiger cursed, and then prepared to return to its treasury.


    "Humans?" The massive python was taken aback, but when it saw the giant silver tiger intending to retreat, it immediately charged after it.


    "Where are you going!?" Exploding with powerful Time Intent, the silver-green python opened its mouth and spat out a dark green fog.


    "Our two factions have been at peace for so many years! Do you really want to take things to this level!?" the silver tiger furiously bellowed.


    "Hmph! You killed my Yao Gods first, and you even challenged us!" The green-and-silver python coldly sneered. "Nonsense! It was clearly your Yao Gods that attacked first!"


    The two peak Rank Nine Yao Gods immediately began to argue. Gradually, they began to put together the sequence of events.


    "Could it be those humans?"


    "Hmph! I''d like to see what sort of people are so brazen as to incite discord between us and plunder your treasury!"


    The peak Rank Nine Yao Gods immediately stopped fighting.


    Look at that! That black mountain is covered in treasure!" a peak Rank Eight Ancient God of Ancient Soul Hall called out.


    The half-step God Lord of the Ancient Soul Race leading this group glanced over and was somewhat tempted, but at this moment, the crystal sphere in his hand flashed with azure light


    "Eh? There''s activity! The Ancient God Seal is nearby!" Ancient God Jailsea called out in surprise.


    Yu Heng had given them this tool. If the Ancient God Seal was in a certain radius, it would immediately react.


    For a moment, the team of three was frozen to the spot


    "Why don''t we take a look at that black mountain first?" the peak Rank Eight Ancient God softly proposed.


    Although finding the Ancient God Seal was their first mission, it wasn''t like they were being watched. Ancient Soul Hall and God Lord Stellar Aspect''s disciple wouldn''t know what they were doing.


    "No! First find the Ancient God Seal. The God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall and God Lord Stellar Aspect regard the Ancient God Seal with such importance that, if we manage to bring it back, we will be the greatest contributors in this operation and will be richly rewarded!" Ancient God Jailsea finally decided after some thought

 1364 Framed

    Chapter 1364 - Framed


    In the central treasury, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng did not immediately retreat upon seeing the peak Rank Eight silver tiger. This was because Zhao Feng could see through the little thieving cat that the two Yao God groups were still fighting. Thus, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng were ready to charge into the treasury, kill the silver tiger, and take what they could before leaving.


    But just when the two of them were about to attack the peak Rank Eight tiger, they noticed that the silver tiger exuded a Soul Intent far greater than its cultivation would indicate.


    "Not good! This silver tiger is the clone of that Yao God leader!" Zhao Feng finally saw what was going on with his God''s Spiritual Eye.


    At the same time, the little thieving cat told Zhao Feng of what was happening on the battlefield.


    "Let''s go! The two Yao God groups are conning over!" Zhao Feng suddenly grimaced.


    As the two fell back, the peak Rank Eight silver tiger immediately pursued to stop them. Naturally, this was the will of the silver tiger leader.


    Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng working together could kill this silver tiger with little difficulty, but since both large Yao God groups were coming toward them, they could not remain for even one extra second.


    After leaving the Giant God Race treasury, the two of them spotted a vast horde of tiger and python Yao Gods approaching them. Their leaders were clearly a massive tiger covered in strange dark silver patterns and a massive silver-green python. Both of them were at the peak of Rank Nine.


    If they were ordinary peak Rank Nine Yao Gods, someone of Xin Wuheng''s strength wouldn''t have even paid them a second glance. However, the Yao Gods of this place were skilled in Time Intent In a one-on-one duel, even Xin Wuheng would find them troublesome. Moreover, they also had a vast number of Yao God subordinates, all of them formidable in their own right


    "You two thieves, you actually dare to plunder my treasury!?" the silver tiger bellowed as it approached with surging momentum.


    "It was you two who incited discord between our groups?" the python asked with a cold and sinister voice.


    "Run!" Zhao Feng yelled.


    They originally believed that, with their speed and reaction time, they could escape before the two Yao God groups arrived. Alas, the peak Rank Nine silver tiger had left a clone in the central treasury. It still wasn''t a match for them, but because the peak Rank Nine Yao God was controlling it, that silver tiger was more powerful than usual.


    "Stop!" The clone suddenly self-detonated, transforming into a dark-silver destructive storm that attempted to force Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng back into the treasury.


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng worked together, using defensive arts to block this self-detonation.


    Brrrooom!


    They just barely managed to escape the treasury when the vast horde of Yao Gods began to rumble toward them.


    Even someone as composed as Zhao Feng felt his heart rapidly thump at this sight.


    "We can''t escape!" Xin Wuheng''s expression dimmed.


    They were suppressed by this place''s Time Intent, which halved their speed, but these Yao Gods were native and not suppressed in any way. On the contrary, their Time Intent allowed them to move with incredible speed.


    It seemed like this horde of Yao Gods would soon reach Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng. The combined power of the two Yao God groups was enough to instantly crush the pair.


    "Zhao Feng, do you have any way out of this?" Xin Wuheng asked.


    Up until now, Zhao Feng had always been able to put on a surprising performance. If even Zhao Feng didn''t have a solution, Xin Wuheng could only use the power of the Ancient God Seal to leave this place with Zhao Feng.


    But the Ancient God Seal could only be used to open a path every one million years. If they left like this, they would need to wait for another one million years before being able to enter again.


    They still hadn''t gotten much from the Giant God Race treasury - certainly not enough to allow the Giant God Race to swiftly rise. One million years was also far too long, and far too many events could take place in that time.


    "What''s going on up ahead?" a peak Rank Eight Ancient God of Ancient Soul Hall asked in surprise.


    According to the tool held by Ancient God Jailsea, the Ancient God Seal was up ahead. However, he sensed that there was something strange going on up ahead, and the air was pervaded with a bloody odor.


    "That''s¡­a Yao God group!" Ancient God Jailsea had a stronger Divine Sense and a further sensory range, so he was the first to realize the situation.


    "Could it be that Xin Wuheng''s group has been surrounded by these Yao Gods?" Ancient God Jailsea speculated. According to the crystal sphere, the Ancient God Seal was not very far from this Yao God group.


    "Then what''s our best course of action?" the other member of his team asked.


    "Observe the situation and watch for any changes!" Ancient God Jailsea ordered.


    They had also experienced the power of this place''s Yao Gods. Not even a half-step God Lord like him had any confidence of winning against so many Yao Gods.


    Ancient God Jailsea sensed the Yao God group because he was a half-step God Lord, but the Yao God group were native creatures and not suppressed in any way. Moreover, they were all extremely old and possessed powerful wills, so they all sensed the team of three from Ancient Soul Hall behind them.


    The two Yao God groups were only one hundred thousand li from Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng when they suddenly stopped.


    "Humans?" The silver tiger''s eyes were extremely dark and gloomy.


    "Why are so many humans appearing here?" The silver-green python was also rather shocked.


    Across from the Yao God group, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng noticed the strangeness among the Yao Gods.


    "There''s someone else here?" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    When Xin Wuheng opened the path with the Ancient God Seal, only their group of five entered, but based on what the two Yao God groups were saying, there were other humans nearby.


    "It''s not Ancient God Resplendence or any of the others," Xin Wuheng said after a brief exchange of messages.


    This was even odder. Could there have always been humans in this dimension? However, regardless of what the truth was, escaping was most important.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng''s eyes brightened, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face. "Captain and the others have arrived. The valuables in the treasury will soon be ours for the taking!"


    Xin Wuheng was stunned at first, but then he began to speechlessly laugh. Whoever those nearby humans were, Zhao Feng managed to frame them with just a few words.


    "What? Captain...?" The silver tiger suddenly grimaced. It hadn''t expected for these humans to have comrades.


    In pursuing Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng, they truly had gotten far away from the treasury. If they continued to pursue, the three people behind them might take this chance to enter the treasury- Moreover, the strongest in that trio was a half-step God Lord of formidable power. The peak Rank Nine silver tiger was no match for this person in a duel.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng began to fly away, traveling neither too fast nor too slow.


    Meanwhile, the silver tiger group was in a dilemma. If they continued to pursue, the three people behind them would get into the treasury.


    Give me a hand and you''ll have my deepest gratitude!" the silver tiger spoke to the silver-green python.


    "Okay." The python immediately agreed.


    The war between the two groups this time had resulted in many casualties, and all of this had been incited by humans, leaving them absolutely furious and with a burning hatred toward humans.


    "You guys, pursue those two!" the silver tiger immediately ordered. It then proceeded toward the rear with the silver-green python and most of the Yao Gods.


    The remaining four silver tigers consisted of one Rank Nine, two peak Rank Eights, and one Rank Eight These four Yao God swiftly lunged at Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.


    "Nice!" Xin Wuheng couldn''t help but shout. Compared to the previous crisis, these four silver tigers weren''t anything at all.


    "The nearby unknown humans are actually so powerful that it requires both of the Yao God leaders to go back?" Zhao Feng was slightly alarmed.


    He just made an attempt to see what would happen, and it was naturally wonderful that it worked out, but Zhao Feng didn''t expect this level of success. Those mysterious humans managed to draw away almost ninety percent of the Yao Gods.


    On the other end:


    "Ancient God Jailsea, something''s wrong!" the peak Rank Eight Ancient God suddenly said.


    "Something really is strange!" Ancient God Jailsea had an extremely grim expression.


    The three of them had done nothing at all, so why was the group of Yao Gods approaching them with such a fierce momentum? From the looks of it, it was as if they had formed some undying grudge with these Yao Gods.


    "Ancient God Jailsea, we need to get out of here!" the Rank Nine Ancient God immediately called out in alarm.


    "Slow down!" Ancient God Jailsea barked.


    They missed out on the black mountain earlier precisely so they could intercept Xin Wuheng and obtain the Ancient God Seal. If they fled now, they would have completely wasted their opportunity.


    "Good Sirs, we hold no grudge against you!" Ancient God Jailsea yelled.


    "Hmph, no grudge? You''re rather carefree about it!" The silver-green python coldly sneered.


    "Bullshit! Devious humans, die!" The dark silver tiger, unable to restrain its rage, shot toward Ancient God Jailsea in a bolt of silver light


    The silver-green python was right behind it. The two of them needed to work together to deal with this half-step God Lord.


    "These idiotic Yao Gods! They must have been fooled by Xin Wuheng!" Ancient God Jailsea realized what happened. At this point, in the face of so many terrifying Yao Gods, he could only flee.


    "You''ve definitely misunderstood something. The three of us have come to capture those two youths that you were after!" Ancient God Jailsea waved his hands, unleashing dark halos of energy that attacked the two peak Rank Nine Yao Gods.


    "You must die, and they will die as well!" the silver tiger roared.


    They left four Yao Gods back there, enough to tear Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng to pieces. Thus, the most important task at hand was killing these three people and venting their rage.


    Awoooo!


    The four Yao Gods howled as they lunged forward.


    "Let me try!" Xin Wuheng shouted as he stepped forward, his bloodline energy madly surging.


    Boom!


    A moment later, a divine white light erupted into the sky, and Xin Wuheng instantly became a massive giant


    Upon activating his bloodline, Xin Wuheng''s defenses and power both received massive boosts. He stood before the four Yao Gods like a steel wall.


    Zhao Feng stood in the rear, disrupting the four Yao Gods with eye-bloodline techniques and soul attacks.


    Of course, the two did not fight to the death, but rather fought while retreating.


    "Lord Wuheng, we''re here!" A little while later, Ancient God Resplendence''s group appeared.


    The little thieving cat had come with them.


    "They had more comrades?" The Rank Nine Ancient God was furious.


    Although the two enemies had unusual strength, they had numbers on their side, and victory was only a matter of time. But now, three more Ancient Gods had appeared, along with a bizarre cat. With the entry of these new combatants, the four silver tigers were instantly on the back foot.


    "Don''t fight with them! Escaping is more important!" Xin Wuheng called out.


    Although they had the upper hand, the silver tiger Yao Gods were completely capable of calling for reinforcements.


    The group worked together in a fighting retreat and were able to smoothly break away from the silver tiger Yao Gods.


    After flying for more than half a day, they escaped into the ground to take a momentary rest.


    "Lord Wuheng, how did the operation go?" Ancient God Cheng Yun excitedly asked.


    This was the treasury built by the Giant God Race. It should have contained enough resources and treasures to support the Giant God Race in a rapid ascension.

 1365 Level Nine Inten

    Chapter 1365 - Level Nine Intent


    "Lord Wuheng, how did the operation go?" Ancient God Cheng Yun excitedly asked.


    This was the treasury built by the Giant God Race. It should have contained enough resources and treasures to support the Giant God Race in a rapid ascension.


    "The treasury has been occupied by a group of Yao Gods, and many of the treasures and resources were removed long ago. Zhao Feng and I didn''t have much time, so we were only able to get a little," Xin Wuheng spoke frankly.


    The other members of the Giant God Race were somewhat disappointed. This was a treasury established by the Giant God Race, but the coup by the Ancient Soul Race prevented the Giant God Race from coming back to this place until now, causing the treasury to be occupied by Yao Gods.


    "But don''t get nervous. This Ancestral Legacy Treasury is exceptionally vast and brimming with opportunity. We can remain here for a little longer and gather resources!" Xin Wuheng suggested.


    His words naturally obtained the approval of the others.


    Firstly, they hadn''t gained much, so even if they went back now, what they had wasn''t enough to reverse the situation for the Giant God Race. Secondly, one naturally needed to spend some more time in such a strange and valuable place as the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. If they could extract some treasures from here to increase their strength, it would only be a boon to the Giant God Race.


    It was rumored that this place also contained the secret to becoming a God Lord. If they were so lucky as to find this secret and perhaps even enter the ranks of God Lords, then even if they didn''t bring back many resources, they could lead the Giant God Race in overthrowing Ancient Soul Hall.


    "This place is fraught with danger. Our current strength is far from enough...." Xin Wuheng took the resources he had obtained from the treasury and distributed them.


    These resources were left by the Giant God Race for people like them, so it was only right that they were used by members of the Giant God Race. Xin Wuheng was now taking them out so that he could increase the strength of his group.


    "Many thanks, Hall Master!" Ancient God Resplendence and the others were shocked and delighted as they took these precious resources.


    Normally, they would need to exchange contribution points for these resources, but the situation was unique, allowing them to enjoy such treatment.


    "Zhao Feng, we also need your strength, so you can also be considered a part of Giant God Hall," Xin Wuheng spoke to Zhao Feng.


    These resources were meant for the Giant God Race, but there was far from enough. If he gave some of them to Zhao Feng, he would inevitably arouse the displeasure of other members of the Giant God Race, so he made up this reason.


    "These things belong to your Giant God Race, so keep it. Instead, I hope that, if I encounter any other treasures or opportunities in this place, I will have the right to distribute it how I see fit" Zhao Feng rejected Xin Wuheng''s gift and gave his own request


    After all, he only had a chance to come here because of Xin Wuheng and the Giant God Race. If he were to obtain any treasures, the Giant God Race would inevitably set their eyes on them, leading to conflict between the two sides. Thus, Zhao Feng refused the Giant God Race''s resources and stated his own demand.


    "Okay! I have no objection. Everyone will rely on their own abilities," Ancient God Cheng Yun immediately said.


    If he refused, Zhao Feng would be able to wantonly use the resources of the Giant God Race, something Ancient God Cheng Yun could not bear to watch. Besides, the Giant God Race had more people; would they somehow be lacking compared to Zhao Feng alone when it came to finding treasure?


    "Okay. Let''s do that." Xin Wuheng also didn''t care that much.


    Zhao Feng played a major role in getting all of them into the Ancestral Legacy Treasury alive. In addition, Zhao Feng and his little thieving cat would be absolutely necessary in the upcoming search, so his demand wasn''t excessive at all.


    Besides, this dimension was something that the ancestors of the Giant God Race found by accident, not something that the Giant God Race created with their own hands. This place was a land of many fortunes, but also of many dangers. If Zhao Feng had the strength, he could take what he pleased.


    On the other end, the team from Ancient Soul Hall was being pursued by a group of Yao Gods.


    "We can''t let them escape!" the giant silver tiger roared.


    It just learned that Zhao Feng''s group had smoothly escaped. If they allowed these humans to escape as well, it would never be able to vent its anger.


    "It seems like only force works on you lot! You really think that the Ancient Soul Race is that easy to bully around!?" Ancient God Jailsea was infuriated.


    He did not want to fight too much with these Yao Gods, but they were doggedly pursuing him. For a mighty half-step God Lord like him to be pursued by two peak Rank Nine Ancient God left him utterly fuming.


    Bzzzz!


    Ancient God Jailsea immediately activated his bloodline energy, and his body transformed entirely into a black translucent soul body.


    Boom! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The attacks of the silver tiger and silver-green python passed straight through Ancient God Jailsea, inflicting little harm.


    "The Ancient Soul Race!?" The silver-green python grimaced. It recalled that this race was extremely powerful and skilled in soul attacks.


    "Imprisoning Hell Sea!" Ancient God Jailsea''s body expanded into dark waves that swept across the sky.


    Many of the Yao Gods with weaker souls trembled as unprecedented pressure weighed down on their souls.


    "Ancient God Jailsea''s supreme skill!"


    "By using the special soul body of the Ancient Soul Race and activating a secret bloodline art, he can transform into a soul- imprisoning sea that will plunge all souls into the underworld!"


    The other two members of the team couldn''t help but sigh in wonder.


    "Die!" Ancient God Jailsea yelled.


    The black wave immediately rose dozens of feet into the air, howling down and engulfing the Yao Gods.


    The two peak Rank Nine Yao Gods immediately used soul attacks. Alas, Ancient God Jailsea''s soul defenses were too formidable, pushing aside the soul attacks and continuing undeterred. The two peak Rank Nine Yao Gods were swiftly entrapped by the black waves, as were many other Yao Gods in the area.


    At the start, these Yao Gods still attempted to put up a struggle. However, their souls began to rapidly weaken, and the souls of many Rank Eight Yao Gods were directly devoured by Ancient God Jailsea.


    "Not good! This person''s soul techniques are too strong!" The silver-green python was using Time Intent to battle with the dark waves.


    "Save me!" On the other side, the silver tiger was worse than the python when it came to speed and dexterity, so it had already been bound up by Ancient God Jailsea''s soul body.


    "Anyone who calls themselves a half-step God Lord must have at least one Intent that has reached Level Nine. My Water Intent has incredible binding power. None of you will be able to escape!" Ancient God Jailsea''s voice came from the black ocean.


    Besides Water Intent, his soul attack also contained Shadow Intent. The two working together could cause a soul to gradually lose consciousness and fall into silence. As long as they had no ability to resist, he could devour their souls and refine them.


    However, this secret art consumed enormous amounts of his bloodline energy. Moreover, the vast range of the attack meant that it was also more taxing on his mind.


    The two peak Rank Nine Ancient Gods had nasty expressions. If not for their powerful Soul Intents and mastery of Time Intent, they would have been killed long ago.


    The world had gone dark, the black waves seeking to drown everything.


    "Work together!" The peak Rank Nine Yao Gods met eyes and used Time Intent at the same time.


    The world suddenly became extremely slow, and then stopped. The two peak Rank Nine Yao Gods used this moment to break free of Ancient God Jailsea''s bindings.


    Not long after they escaped the bindings, the world returned to normal.


    "They escaped? Time Intent?" Ancient God Jailsea''s expression darkened.


    The two peak Rank Nine Ancient Gods worked together to use Time Intent to freeze time in the surrounding region. Fortunately for him, Ancient God Jailsea was so powerful that he was only frozen for less than half a second.


    After breaking free, the two peak Rank Nine Ancient Gods weakly and dejectedly stared at Ancient God Jailsea. Although they had escaped the prison, they were in terrible condition, not even able to use fifty percent of their power.


    But Ancient God Jailsea''s secret art had been going on for a rather long while now.


    "Let''s go!" The black waves slowly receded, transforming back into Ancient God Jailsea.


    He had succeeded in intimidating the two Yao God groups, but he had also greatly expended his reserves. Continuing to battle would deal an irreparable wound to his soul. Moreover, this place was extremely dangerous, and they still had a mission to accomplish.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Ancient God Jailsea''s team left while the surviving Yao Gods only watched.


    "Xin Wuheng, Zhao Feng, I''ll definitely make it so that you''ll be begging for me to kill you!" Ancient God Jailsea clenched his teeth, his expression savage.


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng were definitely the ones responsible for this incident.


    Zhao Feng''s party remained resting deep underground. The members of the Giant God Race were using the items obtained from the treasury to cultivate and increase their strength.


    Zhao Feng removed a dark Lightning Crystal from the Nine Lightning SoiH-Refining Mirror and ate it


    The Nine Lightning SoiH-Refining Mirror could refine the souls absorbed into the mirror without any action on Zhao Feng''s part. While it was refining souls, the Lightning energy of the Nine Lightning Sou²·Refining Mirror would weaken. However, if one used 1:he refined Lightning Soul Crystals as an energy source,Ò²e power of the Nine Lightning Sou²·Refining Mirror could be strengthened.


    Recently, Zhao Feng constantly ate Lightning Soul Crystals to refine his Soul Intent, strengthen his soul energy, and remove the impurities in his mind.


    "Lightning Soul Crystal?" Ancient God Cheng Yun saw Zhao Feng swallow a dark Lightning Crystal and was immediately startled.


    It was no wonder Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline techniques were so powerful that not even the Giant God Race bloodline could contend against it; Zhao Feng had such a precious soul resource at his disposal.


    "I hear that Lightning Soul Crystals can temper one''s soul, condense soul energy, drive out heart demons, and cause the soul to undergo a massive transformation!" Ancient God Sundermount immediately said.


    "But he''s directly eating them! How reckless!" Ancient God Cheng Yun quietly chuckled.


    The medicinal effect of Lightning Soul Crystals was extremely tyrannical. They were normally crushed into powder or taken in combination with liquids that could repair one''s soul. Otherwise, it was impossible to endure the tyrannical medicinal effect of the Lightning Soul Crystals and irreparable damage would be done to the soul.


    However, Zhao Feng didn''t appear to be in any discomfort after eating a Lightning Soul Crystal. It was even possible to hear a crunching sound from his mouth, and he appeared to be savoring the experience.


    Zhao Feng wasn''t just feigning this; the tyrannical Lightning Soul Crystals were perfect supplements for his Lightning Soul Body.


    Alas, these Lightning Soul Crystals were all refined from the souls of Rank Eight Ancient Gods.... Zhao Feng internally sighed.


    These Lightning Soul Crystals were refined from the souls of the Heavenly Demon Hall''s experts, but the strongest soul he had absorbed into the Nine Lightning SoiH-Refining Mirror at the time was peak Rank Eight at most


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had already reached the limit of Rank Eight, and the more Lightning Soul Crystals he consumed, the less effect they would have. If he could consume a Lightning Soul Crystal refined from a Rank Nine soul, his Soul Intent might finally be able to cross that threshold.


    Besides cultivating his soul, Zhao Feng was also cultivating Time Intent. In the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, if one was not skilled in Time Intent, one would greatly suffer. Zhao Feng was already cultivating Time Intent anyway, and the many Time Intent resources here made it easier for him to improve.


    Xin Wuheng and the other Ancient Gods were also using this opportunity to cultivate Time Intent.


    One month later, the group ended their seclusion and prepared to continue exploring.


    "Let''s first seek out some excellent Time Intent resources. If we can all comprehend Time Intent, it will be an enormous boost to our overall strength!" Xin Wuheng proposed.

 1366 The Top Ten Ancient Races

    Chapter 1366 - The Top Ten Ancient Races


    "Let''s first seek out some excellent Time Intent resources. If we can all comprehend Time Intent, it will be an enormous boost to our overall strength!" Xin Wuheng proposed.


    At the Ancient God level, it was extremely easy to get a basic grasp of Time Intent. But without talent in this area, one wouldn''t be able to get very far beyond that, and low-level Time Intent wasn''t very useful to Ancient God experts.


    However, not long after they emerged, a powerful Divine Sense swept out from the distance.


    All of them grimaced.


    "Not good! The silver tiger Yao God group is searching for us!"


    They were able to trace back this Divine Sense to its originator and identify who it was. Although it was only an ordinary Rank Eight Yao God, if it noticed Zhao Feng and the others, it would certainly inform the other Yao Gods.


    "Let''s go!"


    Without another word, the group chose to flee.


    They had only recently fooled the two Yao God groups into attacking a half-step God Lord. By now, both sides had definitely figured out the truth of the matter. Even if they still didn''t understand, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng had stolen from the treasury, so the silver tiger Yao Gods would not let them go either way.


    Clingclang!


    The little thieving cat threw out some bronze coins and then pointed in a direction. Xin Wuheng had some understanding of the little thieving cat''s skills, so he led the group in the direction indicated.


    In truth, that Yao God was only patrolling the area. The silver tiger Yao Gods had suffered severe losses. If an enemy were to attack at this time, they would be in grave danger.


    Within the Giant God Race treasury:


    "Haaa, those thieves...!" The enormous silver tiger repeatedly sighed.


    The group had suffered many losses, and the tiger itself had also suffered grave injuries. It was far more important to quickly recover.


    At this moment, several powerful energies began to approach the treasury, and two of them were actually at the level of a half-step God Lord.


    "Humans!" The giant silver tiger grimaced. Three of those six figures were the members of Ancient God Jailsea''s team that they had earlier pursued.


    Six powerful auras immediately descended upon the Giant God Race treasury, causing all the silver tiger Yao Gods to become nervous, acting as if they were facing down a powerful foe.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All the silver tiger Yao Gods charged out and cautiously stared at the six humans in the air.


    "Humans, you have many men on your side. I admit defeat This treasury is yours!" the peak Rank Nine silver tiger unwillingly said.


    It was still under the impression that these humans wanted to take the treasury.


    "Ancient God Jailsea, a weak peak Rank Nine like this got you into such sorry condition?" An elder wearing a dark blue robe couldn''t help but laugh.


    "Elder, there were two Yao God groups working together at the time!" A Rank Nine Ancient God spoke up for Ancient God Jailsea.


    This elder was another half-step God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall, Ancient God Destruction Flow. It was rumored that he was close friends with Ancient God Jailsea in their youth, but during a secret exploration mission, they fought over treasure and became enemies.


    "It was here that I sensed the location of the Ancient God Seal. Alas, those two Yao God groups delayed me and let Xin Wuheng''s group escape!" Ancient God Jailsea''s face was gloomy as he ignored Ancient God Destruction Flow and spoke to Yu Heng.


    Yu Heng half-closed his eyes and began to move his fingers. After a long while, he opened his profound eyes, but he remained silent


    I''ve already grasped some clues, but I''m still not able to determine their whereabouts? Yu Heng was rather surprised and sensed that there was something fishy going on.


    If his master were here, he would have been able to sense a profound Destiny energy influencing Yu Heng''s calculations.


    "Kill them all! Don''t let a single clue escape!" Yu Heng suddenly declared, a smile on his handsome face.


    The Ancient Soul Race was skilled in the Soul Dao. When devouring the souls of their opponents, they could obtain all that they knew and had seen.


    "If you want the treasury, we can give it to you, but if you stubbornly insist on attacking my pack, we won''t make things easy for you!" the silver tiger immediately roared, its body exploding with a savage and ruthless aura.


    The other silver tiger Yao Gods also appeared furious and prepared to fight to the death.


    If they truly began to fight, they would definitely be the ones who would suffer. But at this point, they had no other method except to threaten the humans. If the humans attacked, they would engage in a suicidal assault!


    The threats from the silver tiger Yao Gods caused Ancient Soul Hall members to hesitate. If they weren''t careful, the selfdetonation of a peak Rank Nine could kill even a half-step God Lord, and this wasn''t even considering the fact that Ancient God Jailsea was already wounded.


    "A bunch of ants is still planning to resist?" Yu Heng smiled as he stepped forward.


    "What''s he up to?" Ancient God Jailsea and Ancient God Destruction Flow stared at Yu Heng in confusion.


    They only listened to Yu Heng''s orders because of his backer, God Lord Stellar Aspect, not because of Yu Heng''s strength. Yu Heng was only a Rank Nine Ancient God. If he wasn''t careful, there was even a chance he could be killed by a sudden attack from these silver tiger Yao Gods.


    But at this moment, Yu Heng''s body began to exude an ancient energy that stunned all the ancient bloodline energies in the surrounding area.


    Bzzz! Swoosh!


    Gold and silver streams of energy began to revolve around Yu Heng, creating the image of an ancient god demon.


    Instantly, all the blood in the silver tiger Yao Gods'' bodies came under an unprecedented suppression, as if Yu Heng was their ancestor. Almost all the Yao Gods prostrated on the ground, their bodies and souls constantly trembling. Only the two Rank Nine Yao Gods remained unbowed as they stared with shock and fear at Yu Heng.


    And it wasn''t just them; even the members of Ancient Soul Hall behind Yu Heng felt the same incomparably powerful suppression on their ancient bloodline. Even the half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall felt that they were unable to circulate their Ancient Soul Race bloodline, unable to convert their bodies into Ancient Soul Bodies.


    "This... what bloodline is this!?" Ancient God Jailsea paled as he stared in consternation at Yu Heng.


    Not even when fighting the Giant God Race had he ever felt such a feeling. If this was the case, then Yu Heng''s bloodline was definitely in the top ten, and perhaps in the upper half!


    The top ten ancient races were all taboo existences of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Just which of the top ten ancient races did Yu Heng belong to?


    "Kill them!" Yu Heng barked.


    The Ancient Soul Hall experts were jolted from their daze, and then they nodded and charged off. Suppressed by Yu Heng''s supreme and domineering bloodline, the silver tiger Yao Gods found it difficult to even think of resistance, and if they did somehow manage to resist, their strength was greatly reduced.


    In the end, all the silver tiger Yao Gods were killed. The Ancient Soul Hall experts extracted the memories from their souls.


    "We have some information. Some days ago, Xin Wuheng''s group appeared over there...." A Rank Nine Ancient God offered up the information he had obtained, but there was only a little information regarding Zhao Feng''s group.


    "Split up and continue searching. Inform me as soon as you discover anything," Yu Heng indifferently said.


    "This treasury..." Ancient God Jailsea cast his gaze to the treasury.


    With the silver tiger Yao Gods slain, this treasury was completely empty. It was far too wasteful to simply abandon such a precious treasury.


    "Fine. I will give you fifteen minutes." Once Yu Heng said this, the members of Ancient Soul Hall all charged into the treasury.


    Yu Heng remained floating in the air, staring into the distance in deep thought.


    Fifteen minutes later, the members of Ancient Soul Hall emerged from the treasury. Yu Heng took a few items that he needed from what they had plundered, but the two half-step God Lords made no complaints.


    After fleeing for some distance, Zhao Feng''s group stopped.


    "This cat is truly reliable. We should be heading in the direction of the inner region of the Ancestral Legacy Treasury!" Ancient God Resplendence praised the little thieving cat.


    There was no night or day in the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. The sky was gray and overcast, while Divine Sense and vision were both hindered. As a result, it was nigh impossible to determine what direction one was going. But as they progressed, they discovered that the plants growing around them were older and older. They would even occasionally spot precious plants that were nearly one billion years old. Thus, Ancient God Resplendence conjectured that they were approaching the inner region.


    "There''s a building up ahead!" Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    None of them doubted these words. After spending so long with Zhao Feng, they had developed some understanding of the abilities of his eye-bloodline.


    "Could this place be home to some Yao God faction?" Ancient God Sundermount conjectured.


    "It''s a building of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Zhao Feng had to examine the building for some time before coming to this conclusion.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race!?" the others cried out in surprise. How could there be a building of the Heaven''s Legacy Race in this dimension?


    Ordinary members of the Giant God Race were under the impression that the Ancestral Legacy Treasury was established by the God Lords of the Giant God Race.


    "Everyone, in truth, the Ancient God Seal was discovered accidentally by the ancestors of the Giant God Race. Later on, they used it to unlock this dimension, and after many generations of being passed down, this place came to be known as the Ancestral Legacy Treasury." Xin Wuheng revealed the secret that only the Giant God Race God Lords knew to the group.


    The Ancient God Seal was connected to the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Since this was the case, it only made sense for this dimension to also be connected to the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "It''s rumored that the Heaven''s Legacy Race divided its main inheritance into countless branches of various sizes, spread out across the Fan Universe. Could this dimension be one of those many branches of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s inheritance?" Ancient God Cheng Yun speculated.


    If this really was the case, then this place was undoubtedly one of the extremely high-level branches of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s inheritance.


    "I''m also not sure about this. When I asked this question of a Giant God Race ancestor, not even he was able to give me a firm answer." Xin Wuheng shook his head.


    The group began to slowly approach this Heaven''s Legacy Race building.


    Firstly, the inheritance of the Heaven''s Legacy Race was extremely tempting. Many skills of the Heaven''s Legacy Race could even alter the destiny of an entire faction.


    Secondly, all of them were very interested in knowing the origins of this dimension. There was no question that this was an extremely high-level dimension. Even a half-step God Lord was somewhat suppressed here. The entire dimension was also rather strange; all the Yao Gods were extremely skilled in Time Intent, and the many resources were also primarily focused on Time Intent.


    A massive metal building quickly appeared before the group.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat suddenly began to gesture at Zhao Feng.


    "There''s danger?" Zhao Feng''s face froze.


    Wasn''t the little thieving cat the one that had guided them here? Why did it only mention danger now?


    The little thieving cat immediately explained that it had led them in this direction, but not with the intention of going inside this building.


    Zhao Feng prepared to relay the little thieving cat''s message to the group, but suddenly, Ancient God Cheng Yun yelled, "That''s Moonlight Sky Bamboo! I hear that it''s a time cultivation resource that takes at least two billion years to grow."


    In a corner inside the building, it was possible to see a bamboo shoot glimmering with white light. When they set eyes upon this plant, they felt as if they had been transported to a different space and time.


    "I heard that Moonlight Sky Bamboo contains an extremely pure essence of Time. It''s one of the best and most valuable treasures for comprehending Time Intent After consuming it, one can even improve one''s ability to comprehend Time Intent directly."


    This sort of legendary Time Intent resource was something that all people who cultivated Time Intent could only dream about In the outside world, it would simply be priceless.


    Several million years ago, there was news that this treasure had appeared in a certain part of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The Time Intent cultivators from the surrounding zones all rushed to that area, and even God Lords personally took action.

 1367 An Inevitable Clash of Enemies

    Chapter 1367 - An Inevitable Clash of Enemies "Moonlight Sky Bamboo!"


    Everyone stared as one into the Heaven''s Legacy Race building. Even Zhao Feng was extremely tempted and forgot about the danger the little thieving cat had mentioned.


    Ordinary Time Intent cultivation resources only contained the power of Time Intent, but Moonlight Sky Bamboo contained Time Essence, a true treasure among Time Intent cultivation resources.


    After consuming this precious plant, one could slowly refine the Time Essence, which would increase the efficiency with which one comprehended Time Intent Moreover, it was also rumored that Moonlight Sky Bamboo could increase the ability of the user to comprehend Time Intent. It was a resource that cultivators of Time Intent could only dream about.


    Although all of them were tempted by this incredibly valuable treasure, none of them dared to act recklessly. Based on previous experience, any place with valuable treasure had corresponding danger. There was no telling what unknown danger resided in the Heaven''s Legacy Race building in which the Moonlight Sky Bamboo was located.


    The group cautiously approached while observing their surroundings.


    "There''s nothing strange."


    Not noticing anything suspicious after inspecting the area, they began to move a little faster.


    But before they could get within one hundred feet of the Heaven''s Legacy Race building, they suddenly felt an incredibly high-level Time Intent pressing down on them.


    "What powerful suppression!" Ancient God Resplendence said in surprise.


    "It must be the Time energy released by the Moonlight Sky Bamboo!" Ancient God Cheng Yun excitedly said.


    The Moonlight Sky Bamboo was a treasure for cultivating Time Intent and was of extremely high level. Given the fact that all the resources in this place were extremely old, it wasn''t strange at all for it to exude such high-level Time energy.


    Of course, there was another reason; none of them were that skilled in Time Intent. The suppression would have been much weaker otherwise.


    Upon entering the Heaven''s Legacy Race building, they still didn''t notice anything strange, so they got bolder and bolder and charged straight at the Moonlight Sky Bamboo. However, as they approached, the Time Intent suppression increased to absurd levels. It was as if space had become a thick and viscous paste that greatly hindered all their movements.


    But it was precisely this that indicated just how high-quality this Moonlight Sky Bamboo was.


    The group was just ten feet from the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, but advancing a single inch further would take an enormous amount of time.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s left eye noticed something strange.


    "Watch out!" Zhao Feng immediately warned, but his voice came out of his mouth very slowly.


    Before he could finish speaking, three blurry flashes of white light emerged from the interior of the building.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    In a flash, those three lights approached Zhao Feng''s group with astonishing speed. The Time Intent suppression made it impossible for the group to react, not even to deploy defensive measures.


    Boom! Bang!


    Several thorns of light as thick as an arm exploded toward their position.


    Fortunately, these attacks weren''t that powerful, so they didn''t suffer lethal injury. However, if they continued to remain by the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, they would have no ability to counterattack, and their injuries would build up until they could take no more.


    The group began to move away from the Moonlight Sky Bamboo.


    "What is that?"


    "They don''t seem to have very high cultivation, and their attacks aren''t very strong. Otherwise, we would have been finished back there!"


    As Zhao Feng''s group moved away from the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, the Time Intent suppression weakened.


    Everyone stared at the three spiritual bodies floating over their heads. These were three unique Yao Gods, about the same size as an ordinary person, but their expressions were savage. Their eyes were triangular and they had long ears, making them seem like little devils. They had no legs, their torsos simply floating in the air.


    "Humans, die!"


    The three "Devil" Yao Gods glared at Zhao Feng''s group and began their assault


    "How reckless! So weak, and yet they dare to attack us?" Ancient God Cheng Yun couldn''t help but coldly sneer.


    They had almost gotten their hands on the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, but these three Devil Yao Gods forced them to retreat They had all tasted the strength of these Devil Yao Gods though; their attacks were only slightly stronger than those of an ordinary Rank Eight


    The three Devil Yao Gods were unmoved, their killing intent toward the group almost tangible.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Several white flashes of light shot forward.


    Before Ancient God Cheng Yun could even react, he was struck by these attacks.


    The others managed to react, but the only ones who succeeded in dodging were Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.


    "What fast attacks!" Ancient God Resplendence called out in alarm.


    They failed to notice this point while under the immense Time Intent suppression.


    "Hurry and kill them, or else we won''t be able to get the Moonlight Sky Bamboo!" Ancient God Cheng Yun yelled as he shot forward, slashing out with his palm.


    Hwoooom!


    Ancient God Cheng Yun cultivated Wind Intent, so this palm moved with incredible speed.


    But these three Yao Gods only shifted their bodies slightly to the left to easily dodge the attack.


    Meanwhile, the rest of the group also launched a salvo of attacks to get rid of these three Yao Gods.


    Boom! Swoosh!


    The air was filled with attacks flying back and forth.


    The three Yao Gods bobbed and weaved through the small openings between these attacks, dodging every attack and emerging completely unharmed.


    On the contrary, it was their opponents who were gradually accumulating wounds. The three Devil Yao Gods had extremely swift attacks that could not be dodged unless one put all their energy into doing so.


    "Damn...."


    This situation left all of them feeling rather stifled. Alas, the three Devil Yao Gods simply moved too quickly, on the same level as Instant Movement.


    Instant Movement needed time to execute, but these three Yao Gods were naturally endowed with this speed. These Yao Gods moved so quickly that even engaging them in close combat was implausible.


    "It''s hard to lock onto them with eye-bloodline techniques." Zhao Feng helplessly smiled.


    These three Yao Gods were also extremely perceptive, and the moment they sensed that Zhao Feng was trying to lock onto them, they would swiftly move away.


    What incredible speed! Could this be the Light Race of the top ten ancient races? Xin Wuheng muttered to himself in shock.


    The rank 7th Light Race wielded the power of time. They possessed the fastest speed in the Fan Universe, and no one else could compare.


    But the Light Race were not Yao Gods, and their external appearance was completely different from these Devil Yao Gods.


    Meanwhile, the three teams of Ancient Soul Hall, after making a brief sweep of the Giant God Race treasury, split up to continue searching for Xin Wuheng''s group.


    "Don''t let me catch you, because once I''m done with you, you''ll be begging for death!" Ancient God Jailsea had a gloomy expression.


    He was on the verge of obtaining the Ancient God Seal and rendering the greatest service on this mission, but instead, Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng''s scheme caused his team to be surrounded and attacked by two groups of Yao Gods, causing him to lose all his dignity in front of Ancient God Destruction Flow.


    Ancient God Jailsea barely finished speaking when the crystal ball in his hand began to flash.


    "It''s nearby!" Ancient God Jailsea was startled.


    The other members of Ancient Soul Hall were also rather surprised. They hadn''t expected for their luck to be so good that they would once more find the location of their target


    "Elder, you''re not informing Yu Heng?" the Rank Nine Ancient God of his team asked.


    Yu Heng had ordered that, once the location of the Ancient God Seal was discovered, he needed to be informed immediately.


    "No rush," Ancient God Jailsea hesitated a moment before saying.


    If he could successfully get back the Ancient God Seal this time, he would be richly rewarded.


    There was another reason; his mortal foe Ancient God Destruction Flow was in Yu Heng''s team, and he did not want Ancient God Destruction Flow to benefit from his discovery.


    "If we can resolve it on our own, the merit will be all ours. And if we find it difficult, we can still inform them later." Once Ancient God Jailsea added this comment, the other two members agreed.


    Ancient God Jailsea''s team swiftly flew in the direction indicated by the crystal ball.


    "A building of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" the Rank Nine expert of Ancient Soul Hall called out in surprise.


    "How could there be a building of the Heaven''s Legacy Race here?" the other member muttered in shock.


    They understood the Ancestral Legacy Treasury to be a private treasury of the Giant God Race, and yet here was a building of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. It was apparent that this treasury had an unusual background.


    "They must be inside that Heaven''s Legacy Race building, searching for treasure!" The Rank Nine Ancient God was shocked.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race had left branches of its inheritance scattered across the Fan Universe, and there were both major and minor treasures within them. A high-level dimension like the Ancestral Legacy Treasury was almost assuredly home to an unusual inheritance of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "Hmph! This clash was inevitable!" Ancient God Jailsea grimly smiled and then led his team forward.


    Before they could approach the building, they sensed astonishing ripples of Divine Power and the sounds of fighting, so they slightly slowed down.


    Within the Heaven''s Legacy Race building, the three extremely fast Devil Yao Gods had left the Giant God Race group extremely annoyed.


    "Use large-scale attacks to completely lock down the places they can dodge," Zhao Feng suggested.


    This suggestion immediately had everyone''s agreement The three Devil Yao Gods moved too quickly, but the confines of this area restricted their advantage.


    "Water Lightning Illusion Domain!" Zhao Feng activated his left eye and unleashed a net of lightning.


    As this Lightning energy expanded, it absorbed the surrounding Water Intent to become an enormous Water Lightning net that sealed off the paths of retreat for the three Devil Yao Gods.


    The Giant God Race members also used their own large-scale attacks.


    The only stand-out trait of these Devil Yao Gods was their incredible speed, but their defenses were quite mediocre. In the face of this joint attack, they were quickly slain.


    "We finally got rid of them!" Ancient God Cheng Yun exhaled and then turned back to the Moonlight Sky Bamboo.


    But at this moment, three powerful energies appeared outside the Heaven''s Legacy Race building.


    "Haha, the Moonlight Sky Bamboo is ours! Your lives are also ours!" Ancient God Jailsea loudly laughed.


    They lost out last time, but now, not only had they discovered Zhao Feng and the others, they had also found the Time Intent cultivation treasure Moonlight Sky Bamboo! This was a double harvest.


    "It''s someone else!" Ancient God Resplendence grimaced.


    The others also had rather ugly expressions. Inside this building, their senses were hindered, preventing them from realizing what was going on outside until it was too late.


    "They''re... members of Ancient Soul Hall!" Ancient God Sundermount was stunned.


    Didn''t the Ancestral Legacy Treasury require the Ancient God Seal to access? How could the members of Ancient Soul Hall have appeared here?


    "The people of Ancient Soul Hall are here?" Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng were also stunned and in disbelief.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Cheng Yun trembled, despair on his face.


    Earlier, just when they were about to obtain the precious Moonlight Sky Bamboo, the three Devil Yao Gods appeared to make trouble. Now, after they were dealt with, an even greater danger had emerged.


    Although there were only three foes, it was not something their group could handle. Just that half-step God Lord alone could dominate this battlefield.

 1368 Going Out to Repulse the Enemy

    Chapter 1368 - Going Out to Repulse the Enemy


    The Giant God Race had the advantage in numbers, but the half-step God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall was powerful enough to easily crush anyone beneath Rank Nine. The only person capable of holding back Ancient God Jailsea for even a few moments was Xin Wuheng, but this was only if Xin Wuheng fully activated his bloodline and used all his trump cards.


    "How could it be like this? How could they be here? Is the Giant God Race destined to never rise again?" Ancient God Resplendence despaired.


    She had believed that this place was isolated from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. As long as they could gather up enough resources, they could return to their race and slowly rest and recuperate. By slowly developing their race, it would be certain to one day surpass Ancient Soul Hall.


    Unexpectedly though, Ancient Soul Hall''s pursuit had somehow even reached into the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. These three members of Ancient Soul Hall were already impossible for them to deal with. Who knew just how many other experts of Ancient Soul Hall were in the area?


    "How did you get in?" Xin Wuheng bluntly asked, his expression dour. This was ʲle greatest question on his mind "Those who are about to die don''t need to know so much." Ancient God Jailsea lightly smiled.


    In truth, all he knew was that they had gotten here through a teleportation array built by God Lord Stellar Aspect. God Lord Stellar Aspect and Yu Heng had mysterious backgrounds. Presumably, only the God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall knew what was truly going on.


    Secretly, Ancient God Jailsea messaged the other two Ancient Gods, "Immediately attack Xin Wuheng! Obtaining the Ancient God Seal is of utmost importance!"


    While the members of the Giant God Race despaired, Zhao Feng soberly examined the trio.


    Could these be the humans that appeared near the two Yao God groups back then? Zhao Feng recalled the scene from back then. At the time, the two peak Rank Nine Yao Gods discovered other humans and decided to leave together to fend them off. Only a half-step God Lord would have earned such a response from the two Yao God groups.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye slowly began to turn as he focused on Ancient God Jailsea. Gradually, the condition of Ancient God Jailsea''s body and soul were revealed to Zhao Feng.


    It really is them! Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    The injuries on this trio had yet to completely recover. This was particularly the case for Ancient God Jailsea; he had consumed excessive amounts of blood energy, and his Soul Origin was clearly rather weak and not at its peak performance.


    "Xin Wuheng, listen to me..." Zhao Feng showed no change in expression on his face as he messaged Xin Wuheng.


    Ancient God Jailsea and his team members were concealing their injuries so the Giant God Race members wouldn''t notice, thus, the Giant God Race members believed that they had no chance of victory and were even finding it difficult to muster the will to fight


    "Hand over your lives!" Ancient God Jailsea bellowed, and with a wave of his palm, he sent out a black beam of light In this black light was a savage and bizarre crocodile. This was Ancient God Jailsea''s Soul Beast Ancient God Jailsea''s body swayed as he joined his Soul Beast in attacking Ancient God Resplendence.


    On the other side, the other two Ancient Soul Hall members released their own Soul Beasts.


    Good! Pretend to attack others and then surround Xin Wuheng and eliminate him! Ancient God Jailsea chuckled to himself.


    They were all aware of the extent of Xin Wuheng''s power, and he was exceedingly dreadful if he unleashed his full might Xin Wuheng was also the only person capable of contending against Ancient God Jailsea on this battlefield. As long as he could be killed, the rest weren''t worth worrying about.


    If Ancient God Jailsea was at peak strength, he was capable of directly killing Xin Wuheng. Alas, the wounds to his Soul Origin were not that easy to heal. Thus, he used this plan to increase his chances of success.


    But just as the Ancient Soul Hall experts attacked, Xin Wuheng exploded forward.


    Boom!


    An intimidating ancient bloodline erupted outward and clashed with the three members of Ancient Soul Hall.


    As he activated his Giant God Race bloodline, Xin Wuheng also unleashed defensive secret arts from his hands. A five- colored screen immediately appeared between his palms.


    "How...?" Ancient God Jailsea grimaced in disbelief.


    It was as if Xin Wuheng had predicted his plan, immediately unleashing his full power and charging forward to meet them. His defensive techniques also managed to greatly weaken the attacks of Ancient Soul Hall.


    Boom!


    As Xin Wuheng collided with the Ancient Soul Hall trio, his body suddenly expanded. A massive giant appeared outside the Heaven''s Legacy Race building, causing the entire earth to shudder.


    Whooshwhoosh!


    The three members of Ancient Soul Hall were sent flying for a distance before they were finally able to stabilize themselves. Other than Ancient God Jailsea, the other two had paled, blood trickling from their lips.


    Ancient Soul Hall specialized in the Soul Dao while the Giant God Race was endowed with incredible physical bodies. Moreover, Xin Wuheng in particular had an extremely thick Giant God Race bloodline. For this reason, in a direct clash like that, the three members of Ancient Soul Hall were jolted back by Xin Wuheng.


    "How could this be? It''s clear that we have the advantage, so they should be passively defending...." The peak Rank Eight Ancient God was stunned.


    Moreover, the other members of the Giant God Race truly did appear depressed and fearful, utterly lacking the will to fight. "They noticed our injuries!" Ancient God Jailsea''s expression darkened.


    After sending the Ancient Soul Hall trio flying, Xin Wuheng flew forward and thrust out a finger.


    This finger was simply enormous, like a heaven-soaring mountain. It gathered up all the energy in Xin Wuheng''s body, fusing it together with Five Elements Intent, and crushed forward.


    "Hmph! A mere Rank Nine Ancient God! Even if this old man is injured, killing you is as simple as a flick of my finger!"


    Ancient God Jailsea was enraged.


    Their plan had completely gone up in smoke, and instead it was Xin Wuheng who had caught them off guard. This made him extremely angry.


    But he barely finished speaking when Ancient God Jailsea sensed something, and his eyes went slack.


    The charging Xin Wuheng suddenly tilted his head to the side. Behind him, a dreamy silver eye had appeared, facing the trio from Ancient Soul Hall.


    "That''s... a secret art similar to Space Transference Eye!" the Rank Nine Ancient God called out in alarm.


    Xin Wuheng''s enormous body and immense bloodline energy had completely obscured the Space Transference Eye in the sky.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!"


    In his Eye of Heaven state, Zhao Feng unleashed his Tribulation Lightning eye-bloodline technique. His target was none other than Ancient God Jailsea.


    Zhao Feng had only recently broken into Rank Eight, and while he could contend against a Rank Nine Ancient God, if he wanted to kill one, he needed to use his Origin energy and some of his trump cards. And Ancient God Jailsea was a half-step God Lord, on a much higher level than a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    In the face of such an opponent, Zhao Feng did not dare to be careless and attacked him with all the power he could muster.


    Just a moment ago, he undid the seal on his Origin energy. In addition, Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques were greatly boosted in the Eye of Heaven state.


    Kacrack!


    A twisted lightning-flame exploded on Ancient God Jailsea''s soul. Countless bolts of lightning wreaked havoc across his soul, the Destructive Lightning energy causing the two other Ancient Gods to shiver in fear. If they had been the ones to take this eye-bloodline technique, they would be either dead or heavily injured.


    Being struck by the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame broke Ancient God Jailsea''s train of thought for a few moments. In this period, Xin Wuheng''s attack arrived.


    "Oh no!" The other two Ancient Gods were startled and used defensive techniques to protect Ancient God Jailsea.


    Boom! Bang!


    Xin Wuheng''s finger charged forward, pulverizing the barriers of Divine Power placed in front of Ancient God Jailsea. Ancient God Jailsea was also thrown back several thousand li.


    Alas, when Xin Wuheng''s attack hit Ancient God Jailsea, he had already begun to somewhat recover and was able to mobilize his Divine Power to protect himself from most of the damage.


    After his part was done, Zhao Feng ignored Ancient God Jailsea and rushed back into the building.


    "Still not done?" Zhao Feng''s brows creased.


    While he and Xin Wuheng moved out, he told Ancient God Resplendence and the others to remove the Moonlight Sky Bamboo as quickly as possible, but they had yet to succeed.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat smiled as if saying that, in the end, it was still the one who had to do all the work.


    Thwish!


    In a silver-gray flash of light, the little thieving cat appeared in front of the Moonlight Sky Bamboo.


    "It''s that cat! It''s not affected by this place''s suppression!" Ancient God Resplendence rejoiced.


    The little thieving cat truly was not affected by this dimension''s suppression, but the Time energy exuded by the Moonlight Sky Bamboo was extremely formidable. Even the little thieving cat was somewhat affected. However, it was still able to quickly approach the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, snatching it up with a sweep of its paw.


    At this moment, an explosion of energy came from the distant horizon.


    "I''ll tear all of you to pieces!" Ancient God Jailsea roared as he rushed forward in a black wave.


    "Hide inside!" Zhao Feng said.


    The group fled deeper into the Heaven''s Legacy Race building.


    The group only succeeded in pushing back Ancient God Jailsea by catching him by surprise, but they had not managed to injure him that much. Moreover, the Ancient Soul Race was skilled in speed, and Ancient God Jailsea was a half-step God Lord, making him undoubtedly the fastest person present If they simply fled, he would definitely catch up. Thus, it was a better choice to hide inside the Heaven''s Legacy Race building.


    "Follow me," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    When he was making this decision, he roughly scanned the building and discovered that it was enormous.


    As they fled, they saw many Time-type cultivation resources growing in various places, but none of them were as valuable as the Moonlight Sky Bamboo.


    Saving their lives was more important, so they didn''t have time to gather these resources. Besides, getting close to these resources would cause one to be affected by the Time Intent they exuded. Ancient God Jailsea would probably catch up before they could even finish gathering one of them.


    Other than these resources, there were also those Devil Yao Gods. When those Devil Yao Gods spotted Zhao Feng''s group, they would immediately put on savage and furious expressions.


    "Leave them to me!" Xin Wuheng went to the rear of the group, stimulated his bloodline, circulated his Divine Power, and fired off five-colored screens of light to block the attacks of the Devil Yao Gods.


    Fortunately, these Devil Yao Gods weren''t very strong, so Xin Wuheng alone was enough to deal with them.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat suddenly jumped off Zhao Feng''s shoulder and to the side.


    "What''s that cat up to?" Ancient God Cheng Yun immediately asked. The little thieving cat was holding the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, so he didn''t want to see anything happen to it


    The little thieving cat turned into four, and its bodies began to jump around the area, silver-gray light flowing around its paws as it fumbled around.


    The gray and dim room suddenly began to flash with dim light, exuding an inexplicable chill.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    The three pursuers from Ancient Soul Hall arrived.


    Suddenly:


    Whoosh! Boom!


    Many holes suddenly appeared on the walls of the corridor, spewing out black flames that created a massive net of fire.


    "Watch out!" Ancient God Jailsea paled, but his warning came too late. "Aaaaaaah...!"


    Two nearby Devil Yao Gods were instantly engulfed by the flames and burned to ash. The trio from Ancient Soul Hall were also caught up in this massive net of black flames. Their bodies began to burn, and even their souls.


    "Damn! It''s a mechanical trap of the Heaven''s Legacy Race...!" Furious roars could be heard as the trio was forced to stop and put out the terrifying black flames.

 1369 Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone

    Chapter 1369 - Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone


    "Damn! It''s a mechanical trap of the Heaven''s Legacy Race...!" Furious roars could be heard as the trio was forced to stop and put out the terrifying black flames.


    "What sort of flames are these?" the peak Rank Eight Ancient God expert of Ancient Soul Hall called out in alarm.


    The black flames were able to absorb the energy in their bodies to increase the intensity of the flame, and they could even affect the soul. As the weakest of the Ancient Soul Hall trio, he suffered the greatest pain.


    Boom!


    On the other side, Ancient God Jailsea unleashed powerful Water Intent to extinguish the flames. After doing this, he immediately worked to rescue his comrades.


    "That cat had this sort of ability as well?" Ancient God Jailsea was stunned.


    Originally, this building was so old that all of its equipment, including the mechanical traps, had stopped operating. But just now, the little thieving cat successfully activated some of the traps. If they continued to force their way through, they would inevitably be further obstructed.


    "Humans, die!" At this moment, furious roars rang out


    Several white flashes of light shot toward the Ancient Soul Hall trio. These little devils transformed into flashes of light, firing off beams of light with every sweep of their claws.


    "Just what is this?" The peak Rank Eight Ancient God frowned.


    This was the first time he had ever seen this sort of Yao God, and they put aside everything to heedlessly attack. They had clearly undergone demonization and lost their senses.


    "Low-level idiotic beings!" Ancient God Jailsea''s expression was cold as he waved his palm, unleashing a wave of black water. The black waves covered an extremely large area, completely filling the room.


    The Devil Yao Gods were fast, but their cultivation levels were rather low. They were incapable of holding out against the attacks of a half-step God Lord.


    "Ah ¡­!"


    Screams filled the air, and it took only a few moments for all the Devil Yao Gods to be killed.


    "Elder, what should we do?" the Rank Nine Ancient God asked. If they continued, they would keep encountering obstacles.


    At this moment, he wanted to notify Yu Heng. God Lord Stellar Aspect had clearly researched the inheritance and skills of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. As his disciple, Yu Heng was probably capable of disarming these traps.


    "They''re already trapped in this place. We''re in no rush. We can slowly work our way through, kill them, and complete our mission!" Ancient God Jailsea said.


    If they got in touch with Yu Heng now, wouldn''t that just be telling him that he had once more run into Xin Wuheng but was caught off guard by their sneak attack?


    He was a half-step God Lord, and yet he had been caught off-guard by Xin Wuheng and some Rank Eight Ancient God. This was the greatest humiliation of his life. If his mortal foe Ancient God Destruction Flow learned about this, he would be teased about the matter for millions of years. However, if he could kill Xin Wuheng''s group and get back the Ancient God Seal, none of that would happen.


    "It''s perfect! We also need some time to recover from our injuries," Ancient God Jailsea continued.


    "Elder is right! When the time comes, there''s no way they''ll be able to escape!" The Rank Nine Ancient God smiled.


    Everyone had their own selfish desires, and they were no exception. They wanted the credit all for themselves.


    The trio from the Ancient Soul Race had been stopped by the traps of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. The Giant God Race group clearly noticed this.


    "Heaven''s Legacy secret art!?" As the member bringing up the rear, Xin Wuheng had the clearest view.


    Originally, because too much time had passed, all the equipment, including the traps, had stopped working, but the little thieving cat''s movements succeeded in reactivating a few traps.


    One had to realize that not even someone as well-versed in the secret arts of the Heaven''s Legacy Race as Xin Wuheng was capable of activating the traps of the Heaven''s Legacy Race on such short notice. One could see just how abnormal the little thieving cat''s abilities were.


    "This cat is incredible!" Ancient God Cheng Yun''s eyes were filled with shock.


    Ancient God Sundermount had a somewhat better expression. He had also witnessed the little thieving cat use a bloodline skill of the Ancient Soul Race to defeat a Soul Beast


    The group quickly fled into the deepest part of the building.


    "What do we do now?" Ancient God Resplendence asked.


    In the previous situation, even if they fled, the Ancient Soul Hall trio would have immediately caught up. Now, they had fled into the building and were temporarily safe, but they had essentially been jailed here. The members of Ancient Soul Hall would come eventually, and then what would they do?


    "At least we''re still alive and have time to think of a countermeasure. We still have a chance of getting out of this," Xin Wuheng indifferently said.


    "Stop talking. Let''s first get rid of the nearby Yao Gods!" Zhao Feng scanned the area and said.


    The group worked together to exterminate all the Devil Yao Gods in the area.


    "Distribute the Moonlight Sky Bamboo!" Ancient God Cheng Yun looked at the little thieving cat on Zhao Feng''s shoulder.


    They agreed before that they would not interfere with anything that Zhao Feng obtained, but the Giant God Race also played no small role in obtaining the Moonlight Sky Bamboo.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat unwillingly took out the Moonlight Sky Bamboo.


    "There are three sections to this Moonlight Sky Bamboo. I will take one section." Zhao Feng looked at the Giant God Race members.


    "Okay, we''ll divide it that way." Ancient God Cheng Yun and the others thought about it for a few moments before immediately agreeing.


    If it was distributed according to how much effort one put in, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng had obstructed Ancient God Jailsea while the little thieving cat personally took the Moonlight Sky Bamboo. Thus, Zhao Feng really deserved two sections. They were naturally happy to accept Zhao Feng only taking one section.


    They had no idea that Zhao Feng had the God Eye Duplication ability and could duplicate this resource. On top of that, the Moonlight Sky Bamboo was far too high-quality; duplicating the entire portion would consume vast amounts of energy and even had a chance of failure. Thus, he wanted only one section anyway so as to greatly increase the chances of success.


    After the Moonlight Sky Bamboo was distributed, everyone set their eyes on the precious resources growing in the small area they were currently in.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All of them began to move out. Although this area was small, the resources here were numerous and of extremely high quality.


    "White Moon Grass! Not only is it a cultivation resource for Time Intent, but it can also nourish the soul and purify the heart...!" Ancient God Cheng Yun cried out in alarm as he moved a large rock aside and picked up a crescent-moon-shaped herb.


    The resources of this place were primarily focused on Time Intent, but a few other kinds of resources were mixed in.


    The Giant God Race members excitedly searched, picking up any precious treasures that they could see.


    "Eh? Why is that kid not moving...?" Ancient God Cheng Yun shot a glance at Zhao Feng but discovered that he was still standing at his original spot.


    After thinking about it, Ancient God Cheng Yun concluded that, because there were too many members of the Giant God Race, Zhao Feng had come to believe that there was no hope of getting anything too valuable, so he had decided not to try.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng moved. He came to a collapsed corner of the wall and thrust out a palm to clear away the rubble.


    A moment later, a jade-green light burst out.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng snatched a round stone about the size of a palm. A dark-green light was flowing across its surface, and it exuded a faint and gloomy chill.


    "Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone!" Ancient God Cheng Yun immediately recognized this cold jade rock and blurted out in shock.


    "Such a rare stone! This is a unique mutation of Godstone essence. It contains enormous quantities of the essence of the world. It can allow one to quickly stabilize one''s Divine Stage and strengthen an Ancient God''s Divine Power...." Ancient God Sundermount looked over in surprise.


    Although they had gathered a lot, not much of what they harvested could compare to the Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone. After putting the stone into his interspatial dimension, Zhao Feng once more scanned the area.


    For Time Intent, he already had the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, so he didn''t need to go after any other Time Intent resources unless they were of even higher quality than the Moonlight Sky Bamboo. For this reason, Zhao Feng was in no rush to move out, instead searching the area to see if there were any resources that were more appropriate for him.


    The Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone was one of these. It could purify his body, increase his cultivation, and condense his Divine Power.


    A moment later, Zhao Feng moved again. He flew behind a machine and punched.


    Boom! Bang!


    The machine was punched away, exposing two fruits that were growing in a corner.


    "Void Spirit Thousand Leaves Fruit!" Zhao Feng was elated.


    Although Void Spirit Thousand Leaves Fruit was a Time Intent cultivation resource, it also contained Space Intent. It was a Spacetime-type resource of rather high quality. Although its value was less than the Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone,


    Space Intent was something that every cultivator would try to learn, and a resource that contained the power of Spacetime Intent was naturally more valuable than Time Intent resources of similar quality.


    "Damn! This kid is only choosing the good things!" Ancient God Cheng Yun finally understood what Zhao Feng was thinking: quality over quantity.


    On the other end, the little thieving cat also had an extremely fruitful harvest.


    It didn''t take long before this area was scoured clean of resources. Although the Giant God Race had more people and harvested much, the total value of their crop was still no match for what Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat had gathered.


    Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Cheng Yun went over to Zhao Feng to ask what he wanted in exchange for the Void Spirit Thousand Leaves Fruit or Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone. Zhao Feng didn''t want what they were offering, so he refused.


    After plundering the area of resources, the group began to ponder other things.


    "The Ancient Soul Hall trio will still need some time to get here. If all of us increase our strength a little in this time, we might be able to fight back!" After saying this, Xin Wuheng seated himself cross-legged on the floor.


    "Lord Wuheng, you''re right!" Ancient God Sundermount also seated himself on the ground, took out some of the resources he had gathered, and began to cultivate.


    Zhao Feng actually had the same plan.


    Swish!


    He entered the Spacetime Robe and began to cultivate.


    Meanwhile, the little thieving cat, on Zhao Feng''s orders, began to modify the traps around this area so as to delay the Ancient Soul Hall trio a little longer.


    Ancient God Resplendence also began to cultivate. Only Ancient God Cheng Yun, in pursuit of more treasures, chose to keep strolling around the area.


    Upon leaving the room where everyone else was, Ancient God Cheng Yun came to a room filled with enormous machines. These machines had long ago stopped working, and they were all covered in thick layers of dust.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun went up to a large crystal cylinder. There were many precious resources inside the crystal cylinder, but the majority had withered away.


    Suddenly, several weak rays of light came from beneath these resources. The walls of the crystal cylinder and the cover of the withered plants prevented him from seeing what was actually down there.


    "Could there be another extremely valuable treasure inside there?" Ancient God Cheng Yun suddenly felt tempted.

 1370 Evil Thought Demonization

    Chapter 1370 - Evil Thought Demonization


    Upon entering the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng first attempted to duplicate his section of the Moonlight Sky Bamboo. Of course, if he wasn''t inside the Spacetime Robe, where he had somewhat more time, Zhao Feng would have never dared to try and duplicate such a treasure at such a crucial juncture like this.


    One section of Moonlight Sky Bamboo was extremely valuable, and its quality and level were far above Zhao Feng''s level of cultivation. This made duplication extremely difficult. Moreover, using the God Eye Duplication consumed the Origin energy in his ball of dreamy silver. Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent and soul would also be left rather exhausted. This meant that, during and after duplicating an object, Zhao Feng would be in a weakened state.


    Once he started the duplication process on the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, Zhao Feng immediately took out Time Intent cultivation resources such as the Time Origin Flower.


    These cultivation resources were all of rather lower quality in comparison to the resources he had gathered from this room. For this reason, Zhao Feng had no plans to duplicate them and just used them straight away.


    Less than three days later, right after Zhao Feng finished with the fourth Time-type cultivation resource, his lips curled into a smile and he opened his eyes.


    "My Time Intent has finally reached Level Five!"


    Previously, Zhao Feng''s Time Intent was already at the peak of Level Four. Now that he was in this special dimension and had the assistance of these extremely old Time-type cultivation resources, he easily broke through into the next level.


    To Ancient Gods, Level Five Time Intent was still completely useless. However, at Level Five, Zhao Feng could use Time Intent to alter the flow of time within the Spacetime Robe.


    Bzzzz!


    Time Intent slowly began to fuse into the Spacetime Robe Dimension. Suddenly, the stars in the night sky began to twinkle as one, and their positions subtly changed. At the same time, a profound Time Intent energy poured down from above to flood the entire dimension.


    Anyone with even a basic understanding of Time Intent would be able to sense that the flow of time in this dimension had shifted.


    "Master''s Time Intent has reached Level Five!?" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was somewhat taken aback.


    It knew very well that Zhao Feng cultivated ten-some kinds of Intent, and Time Intent was the most difficult Intent to cultivate of them all. For Zhao Feng to reach this level was truly incredible.


    "At this time, twenty days in the Spacetime Robe is only one day in the outside world!" Zhao Feng took stock of the situation and gave a rough estimate.


    "All of you should cultivate some Time Intent as well!" Zhao Wang passed the rest of the Time-type resources to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and Zhao Wang.


    There was a chance that he would need their help in the future. If they were not skilled in Time Intent at all, they would be at too much of a disadvantage in this dimension.


    "Many thanks, Master!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon respectfully called out.


    It had long ago noticed how unusual the resources Zhao Feng was using were. Upon careful observation, it realized that all these resources were exceptionally old, some of them exceeding one billion years in age.


    After doing all this, Zhao Feng took out the Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone.


    Any resource that could raise one''s cultivation would always be greatly reduced in effectiveness when taking it a second time. And at the moment, Zhao Feng was facing a crisis and needed to quickly increase his strength. Thus, he used this stone without duplicating it first


    Zhao Feng began to draw out the strange energy within the Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone. This energy was extremely pure and tinged with a slight chill. After circulating through his body once, the energy fused into his Divine Stages. As time advanced, the energy in Zhao Feng''s body continued to rise.


    In the outside world, Xin Wuheng and the others were cultivating in their own unique dimensions.


    At certain moments, Xin Wuheng''s body would suddenly explode with ancient bloodline energy, but this was quickly retracted. At the start, the others would be disturbed by this energy, but they quickly got used to it


    Xin Wuheng''s body contained the power of a God Lord. At this dangerous moment, the potential in his body had been stimulated, causing his strength to soar.


    Outside the room, the little thieving cat was searching for treasure while activating traps.


    Meanwhile, the members of Ancient Soul Hall were unhurriedly "disarming" the traps and arrays. Their method of disarming was naturally destruction. After all, none of them were skilled in arrays or mechanical traps, so rather than wasting time and energy thinking about how to disarm the traps, it was better to just simply destroy them.


    If this building was being controlled and operated by someone, then the traps in a certain area would have been linked together so that, when one trap was disarmed in this matter, the other traps would attack. But at this time, these traps had only been hastily activated by the little thieving cat, so they were not linked with the other traps.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Ancient Soul Hall trio successfully destroyed one trap and advanced a little farther.


    But right after they entered the room:


    "Humans, die!" A few Devil Yao Gods heedlessly attacked.


    "Hmph, truly idiots!"


    The three from Ancient Soul Hall had long ago gotten used to this. They used several large-scale attacks to slaughter all the Yao Gods.


    As they advanced, they also gathered up the precious plants they spotted along the way.


    "White Moon Grass, Essence Jade Fruit..." The peak Rank Eight Ancient God happily flew into a room on the side.


    "This is... Celestial Soul Purifying Spirit Dew!" Ancient God Jailsea''s eyes glimmered as he extracted two dark and transparent drops of dew from a depression that was lush with herbs.


    "Celestial Soul Purifying Spirit Dew can purify the soul and repair any damage and injuries sustained. It can even instantly replenish soul energy!"


    "Elder, congratulations on obtaining such precious dew!"


    The other two members of Ancient Soul Hall also craved this dew, but they were extremely tactful and knew not to ask for a share.


    "This dew is mine, but I don''t need any of the surrounding resources!" Ancient God Jailsea excitedly and loudly laughed.


    "With this dew, Elder''s soul will heal in less than a day, and Elder''s strength in the Soul Dao might even increase to another level! When the time comes, Xin Wuheng and his group will be finished!" the Rank Nine Ancient God immediately praised.


    If their team alone managed to finish the mission, they would definitely obtain a far more valuable reward than those two drops of precious dew.


    "Work faster!" Ancient God Jailsea immediately said.


    With the Celestial Soul Purifying Spirit Dew, his injuries would be cured in less than a day, and his Soul Intent would even be able to improve. Since this was the case, they couldn''t give any more time to Xin Wuheng''s group. They had to be killed as quickly as possible.


    One day later, Ancient God Jailsea''s injuries were healed and his soul was even stronger. Working together, the group of three rapidly advanced into the depths of the building.


    Inside the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng had already cultivated for more than one hundred days. His aura was much stronger than it used to be, and his body thrummed with astonishing Divine Power.


    Bzzzz!


    The Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone in Zhao Feng''s hand was now completely bereft of any light, making it seem no different from an ordinary green pebble. At a certain moment, Zhao Feng increased the rate at which he absorbed energy, causing the Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone to lose any luster it had left.


    Crack!


    The Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone cracked apart. A little while later, the energy around Zhao Feng''s body gradually began to recede.


    "Not bad! My cultivation is already near the peak of Rank Eight!" Zhao Feng was elated.


    One had to realize that he only broke into Rank Eight about three years ago. This cultivation speed was nearly unheard of except among those people who restarted their cultivation.


    On the thirtieth day of his seclusion, he managed to successfully duplicate the Moonlight Sky Bamboo. By now, he had recovered seventy to eighty percent of his Soul Intent and Eye Intent.


    Just when Zhao Feng was ready to take the Moonlight Sky Bamboo and absorb its Time Essence, a powerful ripple of Time Intent came from outside.


    "What''s this?" Ancient God Cheng Yun''s voice resounded through the room.


    Zhao Feng immediately left the Spacetime Robe and turned his eyes to see what was going on.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun was standing in a room on the edge of the area, in front of a large apparatus. There were crystal cylinders on this apparatus, and one of them had shattered. Something inside this shattered cylinder was shining with white light and pulsing with Time Intent.


    "Oh no!" With his left eye, Zhao Feng could see things that normal people couldn''t.


    He had not carefully examined these machines before, but now that he used his see-through ability, he could see that the line of crystal tubes were all connected to a single instrument.


    Bzzzz!


    The ripples of Intent from the shattered crystal tube were only getting fiercer, and then a white ball of light flew out toward Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    "What-?" Ancient God Cheng Yun noticed something strange and called out in alarm.


    He wanted to dodge, but the white light was too quick and entered his body.


    "A Mental Thought Body!" Zhao Feng was astonished.


    "What''s going on?" The other people in seclusion gradually began to awaken. They scanned with their Divine Senses and immediately noticed Ancient God Cheng Yun''s strange situation.


    "A Mental Thought Body has entered Ancient God Cheng Yun''s body!" Ancient God Resplendence immediately said. "And this Mental Thought Body is extremely powerful...." Xin Wuheng''s expression dimmed.


    He did not want to see one of his team members in danger at a time like this.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The group immediately approached to help Ancient God Cheng Yun suppress this Mental Thought Body.


    "Ah...!M Ancient God Cheng Yun screamed, his face contorting as if he was experiencing some excruciating torment


    But as the others got close, Ancient God Cheng Yun suddenly calmed down and revealed a wicked and terrifying expression.


    "Humans, I''ll kill you all!" Ancient God Cheng Yun suddenly looked at Zhao Feng and the others, his body exuding a thick killing intent


    When they saw this sight, the others couldn''t help but think of those Devil Yao Gods. Ancient God Cheng Yun in his current state was extremely similar to them; he had lost his rationality as if he had been demonized. All he knew was to slaughter humans.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Cheng Yun transformed into a white flash of light as he charged at the group. Two sharp blades of white light shot forth from his palms.


    "Dodge!" Zhao Feng immediately shouted.


    The demonizing Thought Body in Ancient God Cheng Yun''s body was extremely powerful. Now that it had taken control of Ancient God Cheng Yun, it could use attacks far more powerful than those used by those Devil Yao Gods. Moreover, the attacks were infused with Time Intent and moved with incredible speed.


    Zhao Feng had a fast reaction and had reached Level Five in Time Intent, so he easily dodged the attacks.


    Swoosh!


    However, Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount were too late and were struck by the white blades.


    Two large wounds appeared on Ancient God Sundermount''s chest, blood gushing out. The Time Intent on these wounds made them extremely difficult to heal. Ancient God Resplendence was in a little better condition, with two wounds on her arm.


    "What do we do?" Ancient God Resplendence asked Xin Wuheng.


    "Try to suppress him! If that''s not possible... kill him!" Xin Wuheng firmly said after some thought

 1371 The Thought Bodys Anger

    Chapter 1371 - The Thought Body''s Anger


    Ancient God Cheng Yun, who had been demonized by the Thought Body, paused for a moment after unleashing a salvo of attacks, his face twisting in struggle.


    "Save me! Hurry and save me!" Ancient God Cheng Yun cried out in pain.


    It was clear that Ancient God Cheng Yun had managed to maintain a sliver of his mind and was trying to fight back against the Thought Body.


    This sight made all the Giant God Race members pause. After all, Ancient God Cheng Yun was a member of the Giant God Race, and the Giant God Race was facing a severe shortage of manpower. A single peak Rank Eight Ancient God was extremely important to the Giant God Race.


    But a moment later, Ancient God Cheng Yun once more revealed a cold and cruel face.


    "Die, all of you die!" Ancient God Cheng Yun transformed into a white streak of light and attacked again, emitting a sinister and chilling aura. He waved his arms, unleashing a series of white blades at the group.


    "Ancient God Sundermount, fall back!" Xin Wuheng immediately yelled.


    The demonized Ancient God Cheng Yun was extremely powerful and was also skilled in Time Intent. Ancient God Sundermount''s cultivation was too low, so sticking around in this place would only mean his death.


    "Giant God Finger!" Xin Wuheng circulated his bloodline energy and thrust out his finger.


    These attacks were too difficult to dodge, so it was better to take them head-on and destroy them.


    Boom! Bang!


    A dazzling white bolt of finger energy annihilated the majority of the white blades.


    On the other end, Ancient God Resplendence, who was a peak Rank Eight - a tiny bit stronger than Ancient God Cheng Yun -was able to fend off the attacks by exerting her full strength.


    As for Zhao Feng, he could use the observation ability of the God''s Spiritual Eye, his Time Intent, and Spatial Blink, to narrowly dodge each attack.


    "Strike!" Xin Wuheng called out.


    He and Ancient God Resplendence both activated their Giant God Race''s bloodlines. While still not revealing their true bodies, they increased their power and defense.


    Simultaneously using a powerful bloodline combat skill, they unleashed an enormous white palm of energy. The power of this palm of light was simply tremendous, and it was also infused with the power of the Giant God Race bloodline. It was an extremely damaging and large-scale technique.


    "Chaos Origin God Suppressing Seal!" Zhao Feng used his own large-scale attack move. He circulated Chaos Origin Divine Power into a gigantic gloomy seal that thundered downward.


    The trio''s attacks engulfed the entire area.


    "That should be enough," Ancient God Resplendence softly said.


    "Watch out!" Zhao Feng suddenly shouted.


    Boom!


    Ancient God Cheng Yun lunged out of the destructive storm, a wicked and bloodthirsty look on his face.


    "Kill!" He charged right at Xin Wuheng, his palms flailing, sending out several white blades of energy.


    "How could this be? He wasn''t even injured?" Ancient God Resplendence was shocked.


    "The Thought Body attached to him is very abnormal!" Zhao Feng called out


    Just when the demonized Ancient God Cheng Yun was about to be struck by those lethal attacks, he unleashed an extremely high-level Time Intent that allowed him to hide in the weakest part of the attacks. Members of the Giant God Race already had powerful physical bodies and formidable defenses. After sustaining heavy injuries, he used Time Intent to rapidly heal his wounds.


    This Thought Body possessed an extremely high-level Time Intent - at least Level Eight, perhaps even Level Nine - and it was extremely proficient with it.


    Thwish!


    The little thieving cat shot onto Zhao Feng''s shoulder in a silver-gray streak of light.


    "The members of Ancient Soul Hall are about to arrive?" Zhao Feng''s expression dimmed.


    Previously, if the five of them all managed to increase their strength a little, they might have had a chance of fighting back against the Ancient Soul Hall trio. But now, Ancient God Cheng Yun had unexpectedly become an enemy. If the trio from Ancient Soul Hall arrived now, the situation would become even more dangerous.


    "We have to resolve Ancient God Cheng Yun''s situation as quickly as possible!" Zhao Feng shot to Xin Wuheng''s side and told him what was going on with Ancient Soul Hall.


    "Work together and kill him!" Xin Wuheng immediately made his decision.


    He and Ancient God Resplendence charged out to take Ancient God Cheng Yun from the sides.


    Xin Wuheng still thrust out his finger, which thrummed with formidable energy. Ancient God Resplendence, on the other hand, used a set of Water-type combat skills. The sky was filled with giant palms of water that surged like waves.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun now had very little space in which he could dodge.


    Flame Soul Devil Eye!


    Zhao Feng now unleashed the Eye Intent he had been gathering in an eye-bloodline technique.


    The majority of his eye-bloodline techniques were attacks that required locking on to his target, and they didn''t cover a very large area, so he would find it very hard to hit the demonized Ancient God Cheng Yun. Thus, Zhao Feng used a soul illusion art instead. As long as Ancient God Cheng Yun lost control of his mind and slowed down, he would be much easier to hit with other eye-bloodline techniques.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    A scarlet mist rushed out of Zhao Feng''s left eye. This searing red soul energy covered a rather large area, and the already- restricted Ancient God Cheng Yun had nowhere to run.


    "It hit!" Ancient God Resplendence rejoiced.


    The Thought Body controlling Ancient God Cheng Yun was certain to have been affected by Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique and would probably have its ability to control Cheng Yun greatly reduced.


    But the result was not what they imagined.


    "Kill!" After entering the range of Zhao Feng''s soul illusion art, Ancient God Cheng Yun was barely affected and turned around to charge at Ancient God Resplendence.


    "How could this be!?" Ancient God Resplendence called out in alarm.


    Zhao Feng was also rather taken aback. Although he had not used his Origin energy, his eye-bloodline technique wasn''t that weak.


    Upon carefully thinking about it, Zhao Feng concluded that it was not because his eye-bloodline technique was too weak; the Thought Body was almost certainly some peerless expert in the past. Otherwise, it wouldn''t possess such formidable Time Intent


    Yet even after all the time that had passed, and even though it was just a Thought Body at this point, it was still able to have such a high resistance to soul attacks. There was only one possibility: this Thought Body belonged to some powerful and unique ancient race that was extremely resistant to soul attacks.


    At this moment:


    Rumble!


    Several explosions could be heard from the entrance.


    "They''re coming!" Zhao Feng''s expression sank.


    The demonized Ancient God Cheng Yun was too hard to deal with, and the group didn''t have enough time to capture him. And now, the trio from Ancient Soul Hall was here.


    "There''s someone else?" Ancient God Cheng Yun''s head tilted as he turned his cold eyes to the entrance.


    Boom! Bang!


    The entrance was blasted to pieces by a Divine Power attack. The Ancient Soul Hall trio, faint smiles on their faces, slowly strode in.


    "Ancient Soul Hall!" A look of despair appeared on Ancient God Resplendence''s face. If Ancient God Cheng Yun had not been demonized, they might have had a chance to fight back.


    The Ancient Soul Hall trio scanned the area, and their faces froze in shock. They originally believed that the Giant God Race members would be waiting to meet them, but things turned out to be completely different from what they imagined.


    "Haha, how laughable! Fighting among each other at a time like this?" The peak Rank Eight from Ancient Soul Hall heartily laughed.


    However, the Rank Nine Ancient God and Ancient God Jailsea noticed something strange about Ancient God Cheng Yun. "He''s under the control of a Thought Body." Ancient God Jailsea smiled in amusement.


    "Good Sir, why don''t we work together and kill these people?" Ancient God Jailsea called out.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun had clearly been infected and controlled by an Evil Thought, causing him to turn against the Giant God Race. The fact that Ancient God Cheng Yun was still alive indicated that he was extremely strong - strong enough that the others working together had failed to kill him in the brief time available.


    "Oh no!" Xin Wuheng''s expression dimmed.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun was under the control of a Thought Body, and this Thought Body was inherently insensible, wanting only to kill people. Xin Wuheng had actually hoped that Ancient Soul Hall would immediately attack Ancient God Cheng Yun, forcing the Thought Body to counterattack against Ancient Soul Hall and assist the Giant God Race.


    He never would''ve expected Ancient God Jailsea to be so cautious. Not only was he in no rush to attack, he even tried to establish a good relationship with the possessed Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    For a moment, everyone was watching Ancient God Cheng Yun. His mind was delirious and extremely unstable. No one knew what decision he would make.


    "You...!" Ancient God Cheng Yun stared at the members of Ancient Soul Hall, his expression twisting in rage.


    The three members of Ancient Soul Hall slightly paled. There was something off about Ancient God Cheng Yun''s expression. Logically speaking, the Thought Body controlling Ancient God Cheng Yun shouldn''t have any particular hostility toward them, and yet...


    "Your bodies... have their smell!" Ancient God Cheng Yun''s expression turned savage as if he was about to explode with endless rage and loathing.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Cheng Yun shot toward the Ancient Soul Hall trio.


    "Kill, kill, kill!" His mouth constantly muttering these words and his body seething with fury and killing intent, he madly unleashed attack after attack.


    Swooosh!


    The air was filled with white blades of energy, like the sky itself was falling down.


    "What''s going on? He''s gone mad!" the Rank Nine Ancient God of Ancient Soul Hall blurted out in alarm.


    Ancient God Jailsea said nothing, his expression darkening. The Thought Body attached to Ancient God Cheng Yun appeared to have an extremely deep grudge against them. It was so bad that Ancient God Cheng Yun made them his number one target the moment they appeared.


    Boooooom!


    Ancient God Jailsea waved a palm, unleashing several palms of energy to contend against Ancient God Cheng Yun''s attacks.


    "This..." The Giant God Race members were stunned. This scene was not something they had expected.


    Earlier, the demonized Ancient God Cheng Yun attacked out of a cruel and bloodthirsty instinct, but now, Ancient God Cheng Yun was attacking the Ancient Soul Hall trio as if there was some extremely important reason behind it.


    There was a chance that, when it was alive, this Thought Body had some incredibly deep grudge against Ancient Soul Hall. However, the Ancestral Legacy Treasury had always been under the control of the Giant God Race. The people of Ancient Soul Hall should have never been here before.


    "Kill!" Xin Wuheng whispered.


    There was no time to think about these things; escaping was far more important. The demonized Ancient God Cheng Yun was much stronger than he was before being possessed. If they worked together with him, they actually had an even greater chance of escaping.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Giant God Race members and Zhao Feng charged at the Ancient Soul Hall trio.


    "Kill!" Ancient God Cheng Yun was constantly roaring as he lashed out High-level Time Intent engulfed Ancient God Jailsea, constantly affecting his condition.


    "Giant God Finger!" Xin Wuheng circulated his Giant God Race bloodline and unleashed his formidable and high-level attack.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng unsealed his Origin energy and unleashed a powerful Tribulation Lightning eye-bloodline technique.


    After unleashing a salvo of attacks, Zhao Feng and the others began to flee. Although they could contend against a half-step God Lord right now, in a long-term struggle, they would still be the losers.


    "Don''t even think about escaping!" Ancient God Jailsea grimaced as he pursued.


    "Kill, kill!" Ancient God Cheng Yun''s eyes were blood-red, his mind guided by fury and killing intent as he madly attacked Ancient God Jailsea. High-level Time Intent descended on Ancient God Jailsea, causing him to slow down.


    "Damn, this scoundrel...!" Ancient God Jailsea was infuriated.


    The demonized Ancient God Cheng Yun was extremely fast and had an even higher resistance to soul attacks than his own Ancient Soul Race, making him extremely difficult to deal with. In addition, Ancient God Jailsea and the others still had no idea just how they had offended the Thought Body controlling Ancient God Cheng Yun.

 1372 Law

    Chapter 1372 - Law


    "We''re out!" A look of happiness appeared on Ancient God Resplendence''s face. She never imagined that they would be able to so smoothly escape because of Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    "You can''t escape!" Ancient God Jailsea''s furious roars could be heard from within the Heaven''s Legacy Race building.


    Zhao Feng''s party had fled the Heaven''s Legacy Race building, and no matter how strong Ancient God Cheng Yun was, he couldn''t stop the trio from Ancient Soul Hall alone. Ancient God Jailsea''s team also did not have the time to battle with Ancient God Cheng Yun. Their goal was taking the Ancient God Seal and killing Zhao Feng and the members of the Giant God Race.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three gloomy figures and one white flash of light charged out of the building together.


    "Kill! You must all die!" Ancient God Cheng Yun had gone mad long ago, and he glared with eyes brimming with hatred and killing intent at the Ancient Soul Hall trio as he heedlessly attacked them.


    "This scoundrel...!" Ancient God Jailsea was quivering with anger. If not for Ancient God Cheng Yun, they would have long ago captured all of Zhao Feng''s group.


    Just why did this Ancient God Cheng Yun hate them so much, and why did he insist on opposing them?


    "They''ve escaped!" the Rank Nine Ancient God said.


    "After them!" The Ancient Soul Hall trio naturally couldn''t permit Zhao Feng to run again, so they immediately took off in pursuit


    But Ancient God Cheng Yun was even faster.


    Bzzzz!


    Strange ripples of energy engulfed Ancient God Jailsea''s team. They were flying extremely quickly, but Zhao Feng''s group was getting farther and farther.


    "Scram!" Ancient God Jailsea cursed as he slashed out with a palm.


    Thwish!


    Ancient God Cheng Yun easily dodged this strike from Ancient God Jailsea, but as that black palm of energy passed Ancient God Cheng Yun, a vicious black crocodile lunged out from it As the crocodile flew, it rapidly expanded until it was the size of a small house, its jaws closing around Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    This black crocodile was Ancient God Jailsea''s Soul Beast. One of its attacks was devouring the souls of strange and bizarre creatures.


    However, the Thought Body inside Ancient God Cheng Yun was extremely resistant to soul attacks. Moreover, Time Intent greatly slowed down the rate at which the crocodile could harm the Thought Body, and Ancient God Cheng Yun was taking full advantage of this opportunity to fight back against the Soul Beast.


    "Let''s go! Before this scoundrel gets out, we kill Xin Wuheng and the others and take back the Ancient God Seal!" Ancient God Jailsea barked.


    Zhao Feng''s fleeing group suddenly sensed an enormous sinister energy rapidly approaching.


    The Ancient Soul Race was originally skilled in speed, and Ancient God Jailsea was a half-step God Lord, far faster than any of the others.


    "Not good! They got away from Ancient God Cheng Yun!" Ancient God Sundermount immediately said.


    They originally believed that Ancient God Cheng Yun would be able to delay the three members of Ancient Soul Hall long enough for them to escape. However, Ancient God Cheng Yun was only somewhat troublesome to deal with. He did not have the ability to hold down a half-step God Lord.


    "Don''t think about going anywhere!" Ancient God Jailsea heartily laughed as he circulated his Divine Power and soul energy and thrust out a palm.


    Kabooom!


    Vast black waves surged forward.


    "Dodge!" Xin Wuheng immediately said.


    Ancient God Jailsea''s soul attack contained Level Nine Water Intent, and once one was hit by this attack, they would find it very difficult to escape. Moreover, this soul attack also contained Shadow Intent, which would have an enormous effect on Soul Intent and cause one''s fighting power to drop.


    If Ancient God Resplendence or Ancient God Sundermount were struck by this technique, their souls would be almost instantly immersed within.


    "We can''t escape," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    After exchanging a few messages, all of them reached an agreement.


    Boom!


    A moment later, Xin Wuheng, Ancient God Resplendence, and Ancient God Sundermount all fully activated their bloodlines, filling the world with blinding white light. When the light dispersed, three enormous giants loomed over the earth. A bloodline energy that could intimidate all living beings immediately swept through the world.


    "A last-ditch counterattack?" Ancient God Jailsea sneered.


    In his view, Xin Wuheng and his team knew that there was no chance of escaping, so they decided to fight with their full strength for a hope of survival.


    Ancient God Jailsea''s Soul Beast was being used to hold back Ancient God Jailsea, somewhat weakening him. However, by taking the Celestial Soul Purifying Spirit Dew, the injuries to his soul had all been healed, and he had returned to his peak condition. His Soul Intent had even been strengthened somewhat.


    "Xin Wuheng, die!" Ancient God Jailsea''s body contorted into a pitch-black translucent soul body, exuding a terrifying soul pressure.


    Hisssss!


    One black wave after another emerged around Ancient God Jailsea, and a few moments later, he had created a raging sea. Suddenly, the waves began to twist, forming a gigantic skeletal claw that swept toward Xin Wuheng.


    Whoosh!


    Although Xin Wuheng''s body was enormous, by using Wind Intent, he could still move very quickly. After dodging Ancient God Jailsea''s attack, Xin Wuheng thrust out a finger.


    In the face of this massive finger, the Ancient Soul Hall trio could only retreat.


    "By not running, you''re actually saving us some effort!" The other two members of Ancient Soul Hall released their own Soul Beasts. One was a rhino with barbs growing from its back while the other was a slender lizard.


    After consuming soul energy, these two Soul Beasts rapidly grew larger, and then they unleashed soul attacks against Ancient God Sundermount and Ancient God Resplendence.


    "Dregs of Ancient Soul Hall, die!" Ancient God Sundermount roared as he mustered the Earth Intent of the world and punched.


    The battle was on. Ancient God Sundermount fought against the Rank Eight Ancient God of Ancient Soul Hall while Ancient God Resplendence battled the Rank Nine Ancient God. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng worked together to deal with Ancient God Jailsea.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng remained behind Xin Wuheng the entire time, occasionally using eye-bloodline techniques on Ancient God Jailsea.


    "Brat, if these eye-bloodline techniques are all you have, there''s no need for you to keep showing them off to this old man!" Ancient God Jailsea sneered.


    Although Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques could be instantly unleashed, Ancient God Jailsea could sense them, dodge so they didn''t hit any vital points, and use defensive soul arts to greatly reduce their power.


    Zhao Feng, pretending not to hear, continued to fire off eye-bloodline techniques. Regardless of what Ancient God Jailsea said, Zhao Feng''s actions were crucial in preventing Ancient God Jailsea from focusing all his power on Xin Wuheng.


    "Giant God Finger!" Xin Wuheng finished gathering up power and gathered up the surrounding Five Elements Intent into his finger.


    Brrrooom!


    The earth sundered apart, leaving a massive crater.


    "These people have all gotten stronger, particularly Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng." Ancient God Jailsea''s expression darkened.


    Zhao Feng''s cultivation was already bordering on the peak of Rank Eight, while Xin Wuheng, after his seclusion, was close to the peak of Rank Nine.


    Earlier, Ancient God Jailsea was completely confident and had paid little regard to the Giant God Race team. But in the current situation, he would need to exert his full strength. Moreover, he did not have time to waste; once Ancient God Cheng Yun arrived, the situation would become problematic.


    "It truly is about time to end this," Ancient God Jailsea indifferently said.


    Swish!


    A pitch-black pearl appeared in front of him, and shrill screaming could be faintly heard from within. Ancient God Jailsea opened his mouth and swallowed this pearl.


    Boom!


    Ancient God Jailsea''s body immediately swelled and began to emit a cold and sinister soul energy. The world itself seemed to become much gloomier.


    "Soul-Annihilating Roar!"


    Ancient God Jailsea''s soul body suddenly became round and plump. He then opened his mouth and spat out a pitch-black tornado. As this tornado rapidly spun, it created a powerful suction force that absorbed the surrounding energy and pulled on the souls of others.


    "What''s going on!?" Ancient God Sundermount cried out in alarm. He suddenly felt like his soul was being pulled out of his body toward that black tornado.


    Nearby, Ancient God Resplendence was in somewhat better condition, but with her soul being constantly tugged on, she could not fight with her full strength.


    "Elder has taken the Nethersoul Pearl! He plans to end the battle right here!" The Rank Nine Ancient God of Ancient Soul Hall was elated.


    The Nethersoul Pearl was created by the experts of Ancient Soul Hall by using a unique technique to extract powerful souls and refine them together. By using the pearl as an energy source for certain secret soul arts, it could immediately bring their power to another level.


    "Oh no!" A look of unprecedented solemnity was on Xin Wuheng''s face. The trump card of a half-step God Lord was enough to heavily injure or even kill a peak Rank Nine Ancient God. Moreover, Ancient God Jailsea''s trump card was a soul attack, making it even more dangerous.


    The rapidly spinning black tornado was enormous and emitted a powerful attractive force. Even Xin Wuheng could not completely avoid it. He also knew that, as long as even a small part of his soul was struck by that tornado, the rest of his soul would be slowly drawn in and ground to pieces.


    Not even Zhao Feng would be of much help against such a large-scale soul attack.


    "If that''s the case... this is all I can do!" Xin Wuheng stood motionless like a giant mountain.


    "Waiting to die?" The Ancient Soul Hall''s Rank Nine Ancient God smiled.


    There was no way Xin Wuheng could stop Ancient God Jailsea''s killing move, particularly since it was a soul attack. It seemed like Xin Wuheng knew that there was no way of stopping it and had given up.


    But Ancient God Jailsea suddenly sensed that the world had somehow changed.


    Boom!


    At this moment, Xin Wuheng erupted with a supreme bloodline Divine Power. At the same time, a mysterious energy reached out of his soul and seeped into the world. Suddenly, the only energy left in the world was Five Elements energy. All other kinds of Intent and energy had been suppressed or forced out.


    Whoosh!


    The moment this energy was unleashed, the black tornado stopped. Although it was a soul attack, it was still affected. The Shadow Intent slowly receded, and even the Level Nine Water Intent, affected by Xin Wuheng''s mental power, was heavily suppressed.


    "What''s going on...? This energy...?" The two members of Ancient Soul Hall suddenly felt like their souls, Intents, and all other kinds of energy were being so heavily suppressed that they were impossible to use.


    "This is... the power of a Law!" Ancient God Jailsea was in a daze for some time before he finally managed to speak.


    As a half-step God Lord, he naturally understood what this energy was. A Law was a supreme existence that resided above Level Nine Intent, and only a God Lord could wield it This was a realm that he had only ever been able to dream about! "This is the power of a Law?" Zhao Feng was dumbfounded.


    At this moment, all the energy in the world, including Ancient God Jailsea''s pitch-black tornado, was being suppressed by the power of a God Lord, everything slowing to a crawl.


    "If that''s the case, Xin Wuheng should be able to block the attack!" Zhao Feng focused his gaze, and his left eye began to thrum with Eye Intent and gleam with a dreamy luster.


    "God Eye Duplication!" Zhao Feng''s left eye focused on the black tornado.


    Normally, even if he used all his power, Zhao Feng would find it very difficult to successfully duplicate the trump card of a half-step God Lord. But at this moment, while the power of the black tornado was weakened, there was a chance of success.


    Boom!


    The massively weakened and suppressed black tornado crashed into Xin Wuheng, but Xin Wuheng stood like an ageless mountain, as if nothing in the world would ever be able to affect him.


    "He blocked it!?" Ancient God Jailsea''s heart tightened. Xin Wuheng used a secret art, using some hidden energy in his body, and actually managed to block his killing move.


    "Hmph, by using this God Lord energy, you''ve reached the end of your quiver. Just how long will you be able to last?" Ancient God Jailsea coldly sneered as he charged out, preparing to strike.


    Suddenly, however, he sensed that there was something strange going on behind him. Upon sweeping out with his Divine Sense, he immediately grimaced. At some point, a silver Eye of Heaven had appeared behind him.


    Suddenly, this silver eye expelled a dreamy mist, out of which surged a pitch-black tornado that immediately engulfed Ancient God Jailsea''s group of three.

 1373 Distant Summons

    Chapter 1373 - Distant Summons


    God Eye Duplication: Soul-Annihilating Roar!


    A pitch-black tornado suddenly charged out and engulfed the Ancient Soul Hall trio.


    One could see the peak Rank Eight Ancient God''s soul body immediately being swept up into the tornado and crushed to pieces, transformed into energy for the tornado that only increased its power. The Ancient Soul Hall''s Rank Nine Ancient God had long ago sensed this tornado, but it was impossible to dodge, so he could only do his utmost to resist


    "How could this be!? That''s my secret art!" Ancient God Jailsea was dumbfounded.


    But in the face of this mortal peril, he could only activate his secret soul defense arts. Dark streams of water began to flow across his body.


    Boom! Swoosh!


    The pitch-black tornado swept through the Ancient Soul Hall group and rumbled off into the distance.


    Thump!


    The bodies of the peak Rank Eight and Rank Nine Ancient Gods of Ancient Soul Hall dropped to the ground. Their souls had already been dragged out by the tornado and pulverized until nothing was left. Only Ancient God Jailsea remained, his watery and black soul body floating in the sky, appearing extremely dim and weak.


    After all, the Soul-Annihilating Roar was his supreme skill - his trump card - so he was extremely familiar with its principles and knew how to counter it.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In a gust of wind, that energy that suppressed everything dispersed like a puff of smoke. In the distance, Xin Wuheng, his face showing signs of fatigue, began to shrink.


    Using God Lord power placed an enormous burden on his body. Even the slightest negligence while controlling it would have caused tremendous damage to his foundation.


    "You..." Ancient God Jailsea stared at Xin Wuheng in fear. Just now, Xin Wuheng was able to control the power of a God Lord, causing him to be heavily wounded.


    "How do you know my secret soul technique?" Ancient God Jailsea darkly stared at Zhao Feng.


    After using the power of a God Lord, Xin Wuheng was extremely weak. All Ancient God Jailsea would''ve needed to do was wait for the moment to strike. However, Zhao Feng utilized some sort of method to use his own supreme skill against him.


    None of the Ancient Soul Hall trio had predicted this. Caught off guard, two of the Ancient Soul Hall members lost their lives while Ancient God Jailsea''s soul was badly wounded. At present, he only had around forty percent of his peak strength at most.


    "What''s going on here?" Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount were frozen to the spot, their minds blank.


    Too much had happened just now, all of it too unbelievable. First, there was Ancient God Jailsea''s supreme lethal technique meant to take Xin Wuheng''s life, and then Xin Wuheng erupted with hidden God Lord energy that intimidated the world and halted Ancient God Jailsea''s group in their tracks. After that, Zhao Feng suddenly used Ancient God Jailsea''s secret technique and wiped out two of the three members of the Ancient Soul Hall team.


    Whoosh!


    The silver Eye of Heaven in the sky vanished.


    The amount of energy consumed by the God Eye Duplication depended on what was being duplicated, and duplicating the killing move of a half-step God Lord did not come at a small cost


    "You''re not worried about your own life, but about something like this?" Zhao Feng looked at Ancient God Jailsea and smiled.


    "Haha, even if you''ve killed the two of them, the strength of your entire group still isn''t enough to deal with this old man!" Ancient God Jailsea was stunned at first, but then he loudly laughed.


    Firstly, he was a half-step God Lord of the Ancient Soul Race, so he was the fastest of those present. Secondly, Xin Wuheng had just finished using the power of a God Lord, so he wouldn''t be able to exert much strength in the coming battle. And even though he didn''t know how Zhao Feng had duplicated his secret skill, it was definitely at no small cost, so his strength had probably plunged as well. As for Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount, he wasn''t worried about them at all.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng growled.


    The three members of the Giant God Race immediately moved out. They loathed Ancient Soul Hall far more than Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng and the other three charged at Ancient God Jailsea.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng circulated Tribulation Lightning power and unleashed a bolt of lightning-flame.


    Ancient God Jailsea was still extremely weak, and his abilities to sense and resist had both been weakened, so he was struck directly by Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame. Moreover, the power of the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame depended on the strength of the Tribulation Lightning and the amount It had little to do with Soul Intent or Eye Intent


    "Hissss!" Ancient God Jailsea hissed in pain, a hint of alarm on his face. The eye-bloodline technique Zhao Feng used just now was barely weaker than it was before.


    "Blazing Wind Finger!" Xin Wuheng flew over and thrust out his finger.


    Even without using the Giant God Race bloodline, he was still very strong, and coupled with his profound understanding, his attacks could still deal significant damage.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    On the other side, Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount unleashed countless palms of energy at Ancient God Jailsea.


    "Damn...!" Ancient God Jailsea''s face twisted into a nasty grimace.


    With the death of his two team members and his own heavy injuries, he could no longer deal with Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng. However, Ancient God Jailsea was unwilling to leave because he did not want to admit that he had failed. This was the third time he had failed, and this could no longer be considered a mere loss, but a miserable defeat - a complete mess!


    But given how he was outnumbered, if Ancient God Jailsea continued to fight, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. "This old man will get his revenge!" Ancient God Jailsea clenched his teeth and began to flee.


    "Haha, Ancient God Jailsea, haven''t you forgotten something?" Zhao Feng suddenly laughed.


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Jailsea suddenly paled.


    Thwish!


    A white flash of light appeared in front of him and then began to rapidly charge at him.


    "Kill, kill you!" Ancient God Cheng Yun, his face savage and wrathful, immediately appeared in front of Ancient God Jailsea.


    Swooosh!


    Several white blades of energy swept through Ancient God Jailsea''s body. In addition, a strange ripple of energy appeared around him, causing him to move more slowly.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    At this moment, Zhao Feng and the members of the Giant God Race arrived as well.


    Ancient God Jailsea was instantly engulfed in a variety of energies.


    "You...!" Ancient God Jailsea''s face twisted into a nasty grimace.


    Originally, he believed that, even if he couldn''t do anything to Zhao Feng or Xin Wuheng, they couldn''t do anything to him either. With his speed, it should have been extremely easy to escape. Alas, Ancient God Jailsea had forgotten about the vexing scoundrel that was Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    "Damn, I can only ask for help!" Ancient God Jailsea''s face was ghastly pale.


    For a half-step God Lord to be forced to seek aid against a pack of Rank Nine and Rank Eight Ancient Gods was one of the most humiliating moments in Ancient God Jailsea''s life. But with Ancient God Cheng Yun present, he simply couldn''t escape. If this continued, the injuries to his soul would only worsen until it would eventually become impossible for him to ever become a God Lord.


    Ancient God Jailsea immediately used the message token to ask for help from the other half-step God Lord and Yu Heng.


    "A request for help?" When Yu Heng received the message, he immediately stopped, his face growing cold.


    "Which team is it that entered a dangerous region of this dimension and is asking for your help?" Ancient God Destruction Flow asked.


    After all, this dimension was covered in treasures. Even a half-step God Lord would be unable to resist the allure of some of the more precious ones.


    While searching for Xin Wuheng''s location, the other teams were definitely also gathering up precious resources. Ancient God Destruction Flow was accompanying Yu Heng, so he could only follow Yu Heng in search of the Ancient God Seal. Otherwise, he would have also gathered up the precious resources that he needed, putting the mission to the side.


    "Ancient Soul Hall''s Ancient God Jailsea''s team. They found Xin Wuheng''s group, but he was defeated and had no other option except to ask for help!" A chilling smile appeared on Yu Heng''s cold face.


    Yu Heng particularly emphasized the words "Ancient Soul Hall."


    Before entering this place, God Lord Stellar Aspect emphasized again and again that Yu Heng''s commands had to be obeyed, or else the other party would have to bear the consequences. But in the end, the members of Ancient Soul Hall had not done as God Lord Stellar Aspect told.


    "How could that be? Ancient God Jailsea''s team was defeated?" Ancient God Destruction Flow was taken aback. Although he hoped to see Ancient God Jailsea defeated, this sort of defeat was too absurd.


    The other member of the team, a peak Rank Eight Ancient God, also found this rather hard to believe. Ancient God Jailsea''s team had actually been defeated and was seeking help from the other teams?


    "Let''s go over!" Ancient God Destruction Flow had a rather excited expression.


    Xin Wuheng and his team had just finished fighting a major battle with Ancient God Jailsea''s team, so they were undoubtedly tired and exhausted to the extreme. If they hurried over, they would have the absolute advantage and be able to end things once and for all! And he could even make fun of Ancient God Jailsea.


    "The distance is rather far...." Yu Heng softly said.


    Could it be that that Destiny energy intentionally guided me to this place? Yu Heng''s expression darkened as he thought to himself. He didn''t have this feeling earlier, but now, after linking together the current situation with many other details, he noticed this point


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng and the Giant God Race members were pursuing Ancient God Jailsea.


    "Ѿou¡­will all die wretched deaths!" Ancient God Jailsea¡¯s body was extremely dim, and he was in a haggard state. He couW only circulate defensive techniques to reduce the damage he took.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng stopped.


    "Let''s go, fall back," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    "Why?" Ancient God Resplendence immediately asked. They had the advantage right now, and if they continued chasing, they even had a chance of killing Ancient God Jailsea. Why did they have to retreat now?


    "There might be other Ancient Soul Hall experts in this dimension," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    Ancient God Jailsea was extremely anxious earlier, but now, he had suddenly calmed down. There had to be a reason for this.


    These words alarmed the Giant God Race members. There was a high chance that Zhao Feng was right. If other experts from Ancient Soul Hall arrived, they would be in no state to fight them.


    As for Ancient God Cheng Yun, he had completely lost his mind. If they tried to stop him, they might up end up suffering a counterattack and become his main target instead.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s group suddenly retreated.


    "They actually ran?" Ancient God Jailsea''s expression darkened.


    His reinforcements were about to arrive soon, but Zhao Feng''s group suddenly ran off. His injuries were even worse now, so he was in no state to stop them. And besides, Ancient God Cheng Yun was still doggedly pursuing him.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, an icy energy that could chill the soul came from the distance. Three figures slowly emerged, their leader cloaked in ice and snow, only exposing her cold and elegant face.


    "Ancient God Ice Jade!" Ancient God Jailsea rejoiced.


    "Jailsea, I didn''t think that you would be so careless as to be beaten up so badly," Ancient God Ice Jade flatly spoke as she turned her gaze to Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    The soul-penetrating chill traveled deep into Ancient God Cheng Yun''s body, seemingly clearing his mind somewhat. Ancient God Ice Jade was also a half-step God Lord, and the menace and pressure she brought with her were even more intense than Ancient God Jailsea at his peak.


    "Your bodies also have their smell!" Ancient God Cheng Yun, his face furious and gloomy, paused in the air.


    He was now facing two half-step God Lords, but Ancient God Cheng Yun still did not immediately retreat. One could see just how much he loathed the members of Ancient Soul Hall.


    Suddenly, Ancient God Cheng Yun''s expression flickered, more than half of his rage vanishing.


    "Come here, over here!" A summoning voice that came from his soul transcended spacetime to resound in the Thought Body''s mind.


    This summoning voice was extremely warm and familiar, and it made the Thought Body inside Ancient God Cheng Yun extremely clear-minded and made it urgently want to answer this summons.

 1374 Clouds of Suspicion

    Chapter 1374 - Clouds of Suspicion


    "Come here, over here!" A summoning voice that came from his soul transcended spacetime to resound in the Thought Body''s mind.


    The summoning voice was one most intimate and familiar. It soothed the Thought Body¡¯s rage, making it more calm and rational.


    "Jailsea, what''s up with this person? Where are Xin Wuheng and the others?" Ancient God Ice Jade coldly asked.


    When Ancient God Jailsea sent out his plea for help, he said that he was being pursued by Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng. Thus, Ancient God Ice Jade immediately led her team over, naturally so that she could take all the credit for herself. But when she arrived, she only saw Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    As for Ancient God Cheng Yun''s situation, Ancient God Ice Jade somewhat sensed it, but she still paid him little regard.


    "They ran off. This person is also a member of the Giant God Race. Kill him first!" Ancient God Jailsea immediately said.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun had repeatedly ruined his plans and was extremely troublesome and hard to get rid of, leaving Ancient God Jailsea incensed. Ancient God Jailsea now hated Ancient God Cheng Yun more than he hated Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.


    "How incompetent! When you get back, I''d like to see how you explain things to Hall Master!" Ancient God Ice Jade shot Ancient God Jailsea a disdainful gaze.


    It was easy to see that Ancient God Jailsea had long ago found Xin Wuheng''s group, but for the sake of his own selfishness, he didn''t inform the others. It wouldn''t have mattered if he had completed the mission, but Ancient God Jailsea failed, and he had suffered such a miserable defeat that he had even lost his two team members.


    Ancient God Jailsea fell silent This was also his worry. However, he still had an opportunity to save himself. As long as he could put on a good performance for the rest of the mission and play a major role in taking back the Ancient God Seal, the hall master and God Lord Stellar Aspect would probably not blame him.


    Ancient God Ice Jade moved forward and gazed at Ancient God Cheng Yun. Since this person was being controlled by a Thought Body, why was it targeting Ancient Soul Hall, and why did it hate them so much?


    At this moment, Ancient God Cheng Yun suddenly turned around.


    "I''m coming!" Ancient God Cheng Yun put on a respectful expression as he excitedly said. He transformed into a streak of light and flew into the distance.


    "Don''t let him run!" Ancient God Jailsea immediately yelled. He was also rather confused. Hadn''t Ancient God Cheng Yun lost his mind? Wasn''t he heedlessly attacking him?


    "What incredible speed!" Ancient God Ice Jade''s expression focused. She had somewhat underestimated Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    "Stay here and tell me all your secrets!" As Ancient God Ice Jade coldly spoke, all the ice and snow around her expanded. In a flash, a bone-freezing chill filled the world, freezing almost everything in its tracks.


    But this chill was more targeted toward the soul. Ancient God Jailsea''s soul body had already sustained heavy injuries, and he instantly found it difficult to endure.


    In the distance, the Thought Body inside Ancient God Cheng Yun also sensed a freezing chill encroaching upon it and couldn''t help but tremble.


    "This half-step God Lord is even stronger than Ancient God Jailsea?" Ancient God Cheng Yun whispered. The current him was much calmer than he was before and knew to observe and analyze.


    But even if Ancient God Ice Jade was stronger than Ancient God Jailsea, he couldn''t be stopped if he wanted to escape. "Time Fade!" Ancient God Cheng Yun called out, his body exploding with intense Time ripples.


    An absurd scene occurred; Ancient God Cheng Yun rippled with strange light, his entire body became transparent, and then with a buzz, he transformed into an unfathomable ray of light


    Swish!


    A moment later, the ray of light that was Ancient God Cheng Yun ignored the chill and flew away at an even faster speed. "This is..." Ancient God Jailsea''s jaw dropped.


    That Ancient God managed to flee while facing Ancient God Ice Jade at her peak strength. Just what escape technique was so bizarre and powerful?


    The other two members of Ancient God Ice Jade''s team were also dumbfounded.


    "That''s not some simple Time technique, but an even more profound use of Time. Could that Thought Body have belonged to that race before its death...?" Ancient God Ice Jade''s cold and jade-like face turned grim.


    For a moment, her mind was engulfed in clouds of doubt and suspicion. If that Thought Body really belonged to that race, then she found herself somewhat unwilling to offend it. Fortunately, their objective this time was Xin Wuheng and his Ancient God Seal.


    "Which direction did Xin Wuheng''s group run off in!?" Ancient God Ice Jade coldly asked.


    "In the same direction that the Giant God Race member went just now!"


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng and the others were cautiously flying along. After all, this was a secret dimension covered in dangerous areas. In their condition, caution was absolutely necessary.


    "Let''s get as far away from here as possible," Xin Wuheng called out


    If Ancient Soul Hall had other members here, once they gathered together, they would definitely come in pursuit.


    At this moment, the group suddenly noticed something strange behind them. They scanned with their Divine Senses and were immediately surprised.


    "Ancient God Cheng Yun!?" Ancient God Sundermount called out in alarm.


    The demonized Ancient God Cheng Yun had left an extremely deep impression on them. Ancient God Cheng Yun was now rushing toward them. Had he given up on pursuing Ancient God Jailsea and was now coming to attack them?


    Ancient God Cheng Yun also spotted Zhao Feng''s group, a hint of anger appearing on his face. However, the secret art he used a moment ago to escape from the half-step God Lord had left him rather weak, and he was in no condition to keep fighting. Besides, he had a more important task, so he didn''t have any time to mess around with Zhao Feng''s group anyway.


    "His expression has changed a lot," Zhao Feng called out.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun was calmer than before, but it was only the Thought Body that was calm. Ancient God Cheng Yun''s soul was probably completely suppressed by now.


    Thwish!


    Ancient God Cheng Yun flew past the group and vanished into the distance.


    "He''s somewhat weak. Could it be that there really are other members of Ancient Soul Hall here?" Ancient God Resplendence suddenly asked.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun treated Ancient Soul Hall as if some deep-seated grudge existed between them. Despite that, Ancient God Cheng Yun didn''t continue to pursue Ancient God Jailsea and was now fleeing in a weakened state. This meant that it was almost certain that other experts from Ancient Soul Hall had arrived. Thus, Ancient God Cheng Yun had determined that he was no match for them and chose to flee.


    "No, it seems more like he''s anxious to get to a certain place," Zhao Feng said. He was able to observe Ancient God Cheng Yun more closely.


    "Should we follow him?" Ancient God Resplendence asked.


    The Thought Body attached to Ancient God Cheng Yun''s body had undoubtedly once lived in this dimension. The place he was so anxious to get to was almost certainly an extremely important area.


    "Right now, it''s best if we get away from this place and find a place to recover from our injuries," Zhao Feng suggested.


    The four of them were in awful condition. If they ran into a pack of Yao Gods or some other danger, they would probably all be finished.


    "There''s a Heaven''s Legacy Race building up ahead." Ancient God Sundermount''s eyes twinkled.


    Earlier, when they went into the first Heaven''s Legacy Race building, they had basically confirmed that this was not an inheritance ground of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Thus, he wasn''t as excited to spot another Heaven''s Legacy Race building.


    "That isn''t the only one!" Zhao Feng could see far more with his eyes than the others.


    He discovered that there were many more Heaven''s Legacy Race buildings. Moreover, these Heaven''s Legacy Race buildings were rather unique; they seemed to have been equipped with offensive machinery, as if they were powerful fortresses that could be used for both offense and defense.


    All of these buildings showed signs of damage. Some of them had even been completely destroyed, leaving only piles of rubble.


    "So many Heaven''s Legacy Race buildings!" Ancient God Resplendence said in surprise. She had seen much regarding the Heaven''s Legacy civilization before, but she had never seen so many war-type buildings before.


    "Stop! There''s a pack of Yao Gods inside that massive gray fortress," Zhao Feng suddenly stopped and messaged the others.


    The group then cautiously made their way around and continued forward.


    "A war took place here," Xin Wuheng whispered.


    "One side was related to the Heaven''s Legacy Race, or it might have been the Heaven''s Legacy Race itself!" Ancient God Sundermount conjectured.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was ranked 3rd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. They were a mythical race with far too many legends.


    "Could the former master of the Ancestral Legacy Treasury have been the Heaven''s Legacy Race?" Xin Wuheng pensively asked.


    The Ancient God Seal was a special divine artifact forged by the Heaven''s Legacy Race, a key that could open this dimension. This dimension also contained many war-type buildings of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and it seemed like some major event had taken place here.


    The other two members of the Giant God Race and Zhao Feng also began to feel that the Ancestral Legacy Treasury was some mysterious ground linked to the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    Five days later, the group was still flying through the same region. At certain intervals, they would see another Heaven''s Legacy Race building.


    "Eh? That giant silver tower..." Zhao Feng suddenly focused his gaze on a massive metal Heaven''s Legacy Race tower.


    This silver tower was much taller than any of the other buildings they had seen, and it was very well-preserved. His previous experience told Zhao Feng that the more complete and larger buildings had almost all been occupied by Yao Gods, yet there were no signs of any Yao Gods living in the vicinity of this tower.


    As they approached, Zhao Feng suddenly understood. This building was so well-preserved because all its entrances were sealed. Ordinary Yao Gods were incapable of getting inside.


    "Let''s enter that giant tower and recover from our injuries. Then, we can think about what to do next," Zhao Feng suggested. Meow!


    The little thieving cat immediately rushed out from the interspatial dimension, its eyes glimmering as it stared with great interest at the tower.


    "That''s right! This cat is skilled in Heaven''s Legacy secret arts. It should be able to open this tower!" Ancient God Resplendence rejoiced.


    Boom!


    The little thieving cat quickly rushed up to the entrance and began to fumble around. A few moments later, the massive metal gates began to open.


    Once the group entered, the metal gates closed once more.


    "Thieving cat...!" Zhao Feng was amazed.


    Once they got in, the little thieving cat immediately ran off.


    Zhao Feng and the members of the Giant God Race first found a place so they could enter seclusion.


    Earlier, Ancient God Resplendence fought against the Rank Nine Ancient God, so her injuries were the most severe, and her foundation had been damaged. Xin Wuheng, by using the God Lord energy, had also damaged his foundation. If these injuries were not promptly healed, it would hinder their future cultivation and become even more difficult to heal later.


    Zhao Feng was in slightly better condition. Only his Eye Intent had been significantly damaged. After consuming some healing medicines, he could slowly recover from his wounds.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out a glimmering piece of jade bamboo. The moment he took it out, a powerful Time energy engulfed his surroundings, causing everything to slow down.


    Moonlight Sky Bamboo contained Time Essence and was a treasure for cultivating Time Intent It could even increase the user''s ability to comprehend Time Intent


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s Time Intent had already reached Level Five. Once he took the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, he probably wouldn''t need very long to reach Level Six.


    One had to realize that Zhao Feng''s Five Elements, Wind Lightning, and other kinds of Intent were only at the peak of Level Six.


    Zhao Feng swallowed the Moonlight Sky Bamboo and began to cultivate.

 1375 Joint Assaul

    Chapter 1375 - Joint Assault


    After swallowing one piece of Moonlight Sky Bamboo, Zhao Feng immediately felt like the entire world had become incredibly slow. His soul and mind were immersed in a strange world where time would sometimes be slower and sometimes faster.


    "Time Essence truly is extremely unusual!" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    His mind felt unreal and illusory as strange and profound Intent energies slowly emerged. At this moment, Zhao Feng''s understanding of Time Intent increased by a level.


    It didn''t even take twenty days for Zhao Feng''s Time Intent to reach the peak of Level Five. It wasn''t very long ago that he broke into Level Five of Time Intent, and now he had reached the peak of Level Five. Only the Moonlight Sky Bamboo could produce such a wondrous effect


    But even though Zhao Feng had reached the peak of Level Five, there was still Time Essence left. Twenty days later, the Time Intent energy around Zhao Feng faded and quickly vanished.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng''s body surged with wondrous Time Intent, causing the space around him to become abnormally slow. "Level Six!" Zhao Feng opened his eyes.


    One piece of Moonlight Sky Bamboo had brought his Time Intent from Level Five straight to Level Six. It truly lived up to its reputation as a treasure for cultivating Time Intent


    Zhao Feng already had formidable comprehension powers because of the God''s Spiritual Eye, and the Moonlight Sky Bamboo had further increased his ability to comprehend Time Intent This was also the reason Zhao Feng''s Time Intent had ascended by an entire level.


    At Level Six, Time Intent now had some basic power and could be linked together with the other Intent energies to form Chaos Origin Divine Power. Thus, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Power increased in power once more and was now nearly unmatched among Rank Eight Ancient Gods.


    "I''ve also mostly recovered from my loss of Eye energy." Zhao Feng inspected the condition of his body.


    Swish!


    He left the Spacetime Robe and returned to the giant silver tower.


    The other members of the Giant God Race were still concealed in space, in secluded cultivation. A powerful ancient bloodline energy filled the air. Xin Wuheng''s was the strongest, completely covering the energies of the other two.


    Zhao Feng could feel an invisible bloodline pressure on his body.


    "Xin Wuheng also has impressive comprehension abilities. After using the energy of a God Lord to fight against a half-step God Lord, I''m confident that he''s gotten much stronger," Zhao Feng speculated.


    Whoosh!


    At this moment, the enormous ancient bloodline energy began to weaken. The air rippled with azure spatial pulses as Xin Wuheng emerged.


    "My injuries are mostly healed. Let''s take a look around this place first," Xin Wuheng suggested.


    They previously searched the Giant God Race treasury, and they had also reaped a rather significant harvest from a Heaven''s Legacy Race building. Healing his injuries could not be considered a difficult task. Moreover, the Giant God Race possessed formidable recovery abilities to begin with, so ordinary injuries were hardly anything to worry about. All he really needed to do was stabilize and adjust his foundation.


    "Mm." Zhao Feng approved of the idea.


    He ended his cultivation after recovering his Eye Intent precisely because he wanted to explore this silver tower. Perhaps there were hidden dangers here, and perhaps there were also precious treasures.


    "The little thieving cat is on the top floor." Zhao Feng used the contract link they had to estimate the little thieving cat''s location.


    Of the many Heaven''s Legacy Race buildings here, this silver tower was probably the most weH-preserved. Thus, there had to be something special about this silver tower, or some special use for it. Otherwise, the little thieving cat would not have expressed such interest in the silver tower and run straight to the top floor. Moreover, because it had been abandoned for so long, this Heaven''s Legacy Race building did not have any active traps.


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng began to explore together. They didn''t encounter anything special as they explored, and the two of them felt like this was nothing more than an ordinary metal tower. But after using his see-through ability, Zhao Feng discovered that the metal tower''s structure was incredibly complicated.


    The pair quickly reached the top floor.


    "This is...?" Xin Wuheng was taken aback.


    The scene on the top floor had a completely different layout from the floors below. There were unknown machines and countless small crystal tubes, all of them piled up messily throughout the room. In the center of the room was a massive circular plate. Nine metal platforms had been placed on this plate.


    The little thieving cat was in the middle of these nine platforms, fumbling around with its claws.


    "What is it doing?" Xin Wuheng asked.


    Countless almost imperceptible white lines covered the black plate. The little thieving cat''s claws were sliding across these densely packed lines.


    Zhao Feng was also extremely curious to know what the little thieving cat was up to. Just when he was prepared to ask: Bzzzz!


    The black circular plate suddenly began to flash with a weak light, and ancient tadpole-like words began emerging and fusing into the nine metal platforms. The nine metal platforms lit up in unison, shooting off rays of light from their sides and linking together to create a nonagon. Several different colors, lines, and points of light appeared on the nonagon.


    "This is..." Zhao Feng carefully examined this scene, and then his face froze in shock.


    "This is the terrain of the surrounding area!" Xin Wuheng immediately said.


    As Ancient Gods, as long as they had gone through a place, they could almost always remember it. The scene before them made them recall this area''s terrain.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat began to call out and gesture at Zhao Feng, a disdainful look on its face.


    Xin Wuheng immediately looked at Zhao Feng. Only Zhao Feng could understand what the little thieving cat was saying. "This is a Sensory Tower," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    In this dimension, their Divine Senses and other senses were all extremely suppressed to only one-tenth of their original power. Since this area was fraught with danger, they didn''t dare to recklessly run around.


    However, this Sensory Tower was constructed by the great minds of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and could produce a map of an extremely large area.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat extended a claw, a smug look on its face.


    "Five million li!" Zhao Feng was astonished.


    Their Divine Senses currently could only reach as far as four hundred thousand li at most. However, this Sensory Tower could create a map of the area within a five million li radius. In addition, this was only temporarily the maximum range of the Sensory Tower, which meant that this range could be increased. Of course, the sensory range could also be decreased, allowing one to obtain more detailed and complete information of the area.


    The little thieving cat once more began to mess around. The map quickly shrunk until it only covered five hundred thousand li. They could see everything going on in this five hundred thousand li, including the number of Yao Gods. They could even make out a few fuzzy images.


    "Celestial Blood Glass Fruit!" Xin Wuheng suddenly called out


    Just a moment ago, he spotted a massive tree bearing red fruit on the map. On this tree were three blood-colored glassy fruits, each about the size of a human head.


    Celestial Blood Glass Fruit gathered up the Blood Qi of the heavens and earth and could massively boost one''s vitality. It could also be fused into certain ancient bloodlines to increase their thickness.


    In its prime, the Giant God Race cultivated the Dao of Body-Refining. It just so happened that the Celestial Blood Glass Fruit was capable of improving the bloodline of the Giant God Race.


    Meow!


    A crafty look on its face, the little thieving cat began to converse with Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng. The little thieving cat indicated that it would remain here, using the Sensory Tower to observe the surroundings. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng would follow its orders and gather precious resources. After all, with the Sensory Tower, they had a complete grasp over their surroundings, greatly increasing the chance of seizing treasures.


    "Okay!" Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng immediately agreed.


    Xin Wuheng had the mission of reviving the Giant God Race. His primary goal in coming here was gathering as many treasures as possible.


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng left the tower. By communicating with the little thieving cat, Zhao Feng could easily obtain a map of the area.


    "Let''s go here." Zhao Feng led Xin Wuheng to a ruined area and then underground. It didn''t take long before they discovered several round and glowing rocks within the bedrock.


    "These are God Origin Stones. If used as a cultivation resource, they can condense Divine Power. If used in battle, you can absorb the energy in the God Origin Stone to immediately recover Yuan Qi and Divine Power!" Xin Wuheng immediately said.


    Although the God Origin Stones couldn''t compare to the Moonlight Sky Bamboo or the Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone, they were still extremely valuable. Moreover, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng didn''t need to pay any price for these God Origin Stones.


    The pair set off for the second destination. This place was where the Celestial Blood Glass Fruit could be found. A Yao God pack occupied the area, making it rather dangerous. However, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng had a complete understanding of how the Yao Gods were distributed and even had a basic understanding of their cultivation levels, so they were able to easily develop countermeasures.


    "I''ll lure them away so you can go in and take the Celestial Blood Glass Fruit and the other natural treasures inside." Zhao Feng had reached Level Six in Time Intent. That, combined with his Space Intent, made him extremely good at running. Thwish!


    Zhao Feng flew into the building, killed a few Yao Gods, and then immediately ran. To provoke the peak Rank Nine Yao God in the building, he also used his Space Transference Eye to launch sneak attacks.


    "Human, you''re seeking death!" Almost the entire Yao God pack was mobilized to pursue Zhao Feng.


    Through the little thieving cat, Zhao Feng could clearly see all this. He was well-prepared, fleeing straight into the Sensory Tower.


    The Sensory Tower was well-preserved, and its defenses were extremely formidable. The Yao Gods were helpless against it


    Xin Wuheng used this opportunity to smoothly infiltrate their nest, stealing the Celestial Blood Glass Fruit and several other Time Intent cultivation resources.


    Once the Yao Gods retreated, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng met back up and headed toward the next area. This time, they obtained some Nine Lotus Jade Life Flowers.


    This resource contained pure Divine Power, and the lotus leaves on the flower could improve an Ancient God''s Divine Power. The three flowers they obtained all had nine lotus leaves.


    With the assistance of the little thieving cat, the pair madly plundered all the precious resources around the Sensory Tower. They obtained the majority of the resources within five hundred thousand li of the tower.


    Farther off, the information obtained was much more ambiguous, increasing the danger. There were also a few dangerous areas or powerful Yao God groups that the two of them did not dare to involve themselves with.


    One day, as the pair was heading toward another location, an image and some information was suddenly sent to Zhao Feng''s mind.


    "Not good! The Ancient Soul Hall experts are approaching this area!" Zhao Feng immediately told Xin Wuheng.


    "What''s the situation?" Xin Wuheng asked. The Sensory Tower could provide very detailed reports.


    "Other than Ancient God Jailsea, there''s another half-step God Lord."

 1376 Stalemate

    Chapter 1376 - Stalemate


    "Why are there so many Heaven''s Legacy Race buildings here?" Ancient God Jailsea curiously asked.


    He had always believed that the owner of the Ancestral Legacy Treasury was the Giant God Race, but it now appeared that this dimension originally belonged to the Heaven''s Legacy Race and was only later obtained by the Giant God Race.


    "So that''s what was going on! No wonder this place holds the secret to becoming a God Lord!" Ancient God Jailsea finally understood.


    Since this dimension had originally belonged to the 3rd-ranked Heaven''s Legacy Race, it was understandable for it to contain a treasure that could assist one in advancing to the God Lord level.


    "Just where are they hiding?" Ancient God Ice Jade scanned the area as she rapidly moved forward.


    Suddenly, the crystal in her hand began to blink with azure light. The crystal sphere in Ancient God Jailsea''s hand also showed a reaction.


    "They''re hiding nearby!" Ancient God Jailsea sneered.


    "Restrain your energy and slowly approach, and then we can capture and kill them in one fell swoop!" Ancient God Ice Jade messaged the others.


    From Ancient God Jailsea''s defeat, Ancient God Ice Jade could tell that Xin Wuheng''s group had some skills. Moreover, in their rush to search for Xin Wuheng''s group, they had not rested at all. Thus, Ancient God Jailsea had still not completely recovered from his injuries and could only use seventy percent of his strength.


    Just sit still and wait for your deaths, haha! Ancient God Jailsea inwardly laughed.


    Ancient God Ice Jade was actually a little stronger than he was at full strength. Even though he could only use seventy percent of his power, if he worked together with Ancient God Ice Jade, they were unstoppable. Moreover, Ancient God Ice Jade was very cautious, so Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng would never be able to escape!


    On the other side, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng were swiftly retreating.


    "Two half-step God Lords?" Xin Wuheng''s expression dimmed.


    After their last battle, if he worked together with Zhao Feng, he might have been able to hold out for a time against one halfstep God Lord. But if there were two of them, he had no chance. He also had to consider... just how did Ancient Soul Hall get into this dimension?


    "Fortunately, we have the Sensory Tower." Zhao Feng felt rather blessed. Without the Sensory Tower, they wouldn''t have noticed Ancient Soul Hall group until they attacked.


    "Should we retreat from this place, or...?" Xin Wuheng asked for Zhao Feng''s opinion.


    "Enter the Sensory Tower!" Zhao Feng immediately replied.


    The Ancient Soul Hall group clearly had some special tool that could sense their position. In terms of speed, they were much slower than half-step God Lords. If they retreated from this place, they would be caught eventually.


    Besides, entering the Sensory Tower was the little thieving cat''s suggestion. According to the little thieving cat, the Sensory Tower''s well-preserved state meant that even two half-step God Lords would take some time to break its defenses.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng entered the Sensory Tower and went straight to the top floor. Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount were also present


    "Lord Wuheng, Ancient Soul Hall actually sent two half-step God Lords!" Ancient God Sundermount had a helpless expression.


    The Giant God Race had never expected that Ancient Soul Hall would have some means of entering the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. Otherwise, they would have at least sent one half-step God Lord to accompany Xin Wuheng.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto a metal platform and gestured, indicating that there was no need to be too dejected.


    "The little thieving cat says that it already has basic control over the Sensory Tower and has activated some of the defenses. Even with two half-step God Lords, Ancient Soul Hall will still need some time before they can break in." Zhao Feng relayed the little thieving cat''s meaning.


    "Is that so?" The eyes of Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount flashed.


    Outside the Sensory Tower, the Ancient Soul Hall team slowly approached.


    "They actually managed to notice that we were coming and hid in a Heaven''s Legacy Race building!" Ancient God Jailsea was somewhat amazed.


    Earlier, they were preparing to slowly approach the location of the Ancient God Seal when they realized that it began to rapidly move, but after reaching a certain location, it stopped.


    ¶£hat''s impossible!¡± Ancient God Ice Jade coldly said


    They had made ample preparations before entering this place. For example, the crystal balls were special tools crafted by God Lord Stellar Aspect that could sense the location of the Ancient God Seal. The Giant God Race team had entered this place with no preparations whatsoever, so how did they notice them first?


    "Hmph, even if they hide in this tower, they''re still seeking death!"


    "Charge in there and kill them all!"


    Ancient God Ice Jade''s two team members were already getting impatient.


    "Go in!" Ancient God Ice Jade yelled.


    If Xin Wuheng had really noticed them beforehand, there was assuredly an ambush waiting for them inside the tower. However, she feared no ambush. In the face of absolute power, such puny tricks were useless.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The five members of Ancient Soul Hall flew to the entrance of the tower.


    Right at this moment, many small holes appeared on the silver tower''s walls, spewing out silver rays of light. These silver rays of light instantly formed a complicated array.


    Bzzzz!


    With the array activated, a silver domain was formed. The words of the Heaven''s Legacy Race were faintly imprinted onto this domain, exuding an ancient and timeworn aura. The silver domain encompassed the entire Sensory Tower, cutting it off from Ancient Soul Hall members.


    "A trifling domain array. Shatter!" Ancient God Jailsea thrust out a palm, unleashing a massive palm of black water.


    Bzzzz!


    The part of the silver domain that was attacked caved in like it was about to shatter. But at this moment, the Heaven''s Legacy Race words on the domain began to gleam with a strange luster. A moment later, Ancient God Jailsea''s attack began to gradually weaken, its energy fading.


    "What''s going on?" Ancient God Jailsea was alarmed.


    Everyone inside the Sensory Tower was elated.


    "Wonderful! This defensive domain can block the attack of a half-step God Lord!" Ancient God Sundermount called out in shock.


    "Not only that, but Ancient God Jailsea''s attacks seem to have been converted into an energy source for the Sensory Tower!" Zhao Feng was able to discern more.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat smiled, appearing very proud and smug.


    "Haha, Brother Cat, you truly are formidable!" Ancient God Sundermount heartily laughed.


    Ancient God Resplendence also giggled at the little thieving cat''s display.


    "This thieving cat..." Zhao Feng glanced at the images on the nonagon, his mind stunned and amazed.


    He remembered earlier that the Sensory Tower needed to restrict its range to five hundred thousand li to be able to display detailed information of the area. But now, this range had increased to eight hundred thousand li. Moreover, the little thieving cat actually said just now that it could still gain even more control over the Sensory Tower.


    "Everyone, we can''t just sit around. We need to use this time to increase our strength!" Xin Wuheng suddenly said.


    Although they were safe for now, this was not a long-term strategy. Strength was everything!


    "Mm, I sense that I''m on the verge of breaking through!"


    "The same for me!"


    Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount had serious and earnest expressions.


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng proceeded to take out everything they had harvested.


    "This is... Celestial Blood Glass Fruit!" Ancient God Sundermount was extremely excited.


    Celestial Blood Glass Fruit didn''t have just any normal effect on the Giant God Race. It could massively boost their vitality, but it could also be fused into their blood and give them a chance of increasing the thickness of their bloodlines.


    "There''s also Nine Lotus Jade Life Flowers, and with nine lotus leaves!" Ancient God Resplendence was also surprised and elated.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat jumped over and took away a large portion.


    Zhao Feng rolled his eyes at it The majority of the resources this thieving cat had them go after were mainly for it to use.


    But the little thieving cat truly had rendered a great service this time. Zhao Feng didn''t care, and the others had no objections either.


    After the little thieving cat had its pick, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng were undoubtedly the next in line.


    Zhao Feng first picked a Nine Lotus Jade Life Flower, then some cultivation resources good for the soul, and finally, he picked a few Time Intent cultivation resources.


    After making his selections, Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    "I''m already near the peak of Rank Eight After I take the Nine Lotus Jade Life Flower, I''ll definitely be able to get there, and there''s even a chance I could break through into Rank Nine!"


    Zhao Feng''s Divine Power was already incredibly powerful, and his Soul Intent had also reached Rank Nine. The only thing lacking was his cultivation.


    After taking the flower, Zhao Feng immediately felt nine pure streams of energy flowing through his body and toward his dantian. The first eight streams flowed into his eight Divine Stages, stabilizing their foundations. This process was rather slow.


    The ninth stream of energy flowed to the spot above his eighth Divine Stage. As long as Zhao Feng was willing, he could begin forming the Divine Stage, and he would have around a forty percent chance of successfully breaking into Rank Nine.


    "The eight streams of pure energy are enough to help me reach peak Rank Eight, but the chance of reaching Rank Nine is too low. I might as well seal off this medicinal power of the ninth stream and save it for later." Zhao Feng suddenly had an idea.


    Once he reached the peak of Rank Eight and stabilized his strength, he could use the ninth stream of energy. At that point, his chance of reaching Rank Nine would probably be even greater.


    Upon thinking of this, Zhao Feng moved away the ninth stream of pure energy and used icy Water Intent to seal it. Zhao Feng then covered it in Spacetime Intent so that the medicinal power would not be lost.


    Besides Zhao Feng, the three members of the Giant God Race were also trying to make breakthroughs.


    As for the little thieving cat, it was still fumbling around with the Sensory Tower.


    Outside the Sensory Tower:


    One of the members of Ancient God Ice Jade''s team was skilled in arrays and even had some understanding of Heaven''s Legacy arrays. Thus, they had remained outside and gave the array master some time to work.


    In addition, they had also found many treasures in this place. The other members of Ancient Soul Hall had entered seclusion so they could increase their strength.


    "This is fine as well. Once I''ve completely recovered, I''ll get that Zhao Feng and make him beg for death!" Ancient God Jailsea used this time to heal the injuries to his Soul Origin.


    Ten days later, the exhausted and dejected array master moved away from the Sensory Tower.


    "This old man is incompetent. I can''t break that Heaven''s Legacy array!" the Rank Nine Ancient God shamefully said.


    "Hmph, wasting my time!" Ancient God Ice Jade coldly harrumphed, the bone-chilling cold almost causing the Rank Nine Ancient God''s soul to lose consciousness.


    "Since that''s the case, we can only communicate with them." Ancient God Ice Jade took out a message token and sent a message to Yu Heng''s team. "We''ve found Xin Wuheng''s location, but they''re hiding inside a Heaven''s Legacy Race building. The building has a defensive array that we cannot break."


    "Why didn''t you get in touch with me earlier?" On the other side, Yu Heng''s voice was emotionless, but it was suffused with a sinister chill.


    Ancient God Ice Jade and the others were all startled. They speculated that Yu Heng might be skilled in Heaven''s Legacy secret arts, but if Yu Heng himself wasn''t here, it would probably be very difficult to undo the array.


    At this moment, Yu Heng spoke in a confident tone, "If I was there personally, that Heaven''s Legacy array would be useless! But even though I can''t get there in such a short amount of time, breaking an array is a simple task...."

 1377 Easily Undone

    Chapter 1377 - Easily Undone


    Ancient God Destruction Flow and Yu Heng''s team were slowly traversing through a gray-white fog, with no end in sight In this area, their Divine Senses and other senses were suppressed to one-twentieth their original strength. The time suppression of this region was also extremely strong, making their progression speed extremely slow. Moreover, abnormally powerful Yao Gods would occasionally charge out of the gray-white fog.


    Everyone was tense and vigilant, not daring to be careless.


    "This place is probably a newly-emerged forbidden zone," Yu Heng softly said.


    His information sources had indicated that this was only a middle-grade danger zone. The strength of his group should have been enough to charge right through it, but only upon entering this place did they realize that the situation on the ground was not in line with the intelligence reports.


    At this moment, Yu Heng received a message. His face momentarily lit up in joy and then swiftly turned cold once more. "They''ve found out where Xin Wuheng''s group is?" Ancient God Destruction Flow asked.


    "Correct." Yu Heng nodded.


    "We won''t be able to get there in time!" Ancient God Destruction Flow was rather agitated.


    Ever since they had entered this dimension, it was always the other two teams that found Xin Wuheng''s location. Coincidentally, every time Xin Wuheng''s whereabouts were found, Ancient God Destruction Flow''s team would always be extremely far away. And this time, they were even being hindered inside this dangerous forbidden zone.


    Inside the Sensory Tower, the little thieving cat was crouching on the black circular plate, gently moving its paws across its surface. Zhao Feng and the others were all in their own special dimensions, cultivating.


    Suddenly, in a burst of white spatial ripples, Zhao Feng emerged. He had already finished using the Nine Lotus Jade Life Flower to reach the peak of Rank Eight. Perhaps because of the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng was the first to successfully advance.


    "How is it?" Zhao Feng immediately stepped forward to examine the situation outside through the images created by the nonagon.


    "They''ve given up on breaking the array?" Zhao Feng inspected Ancient God Jailsea''s group. Other than Ancient God Ice Jade, the other three were all in seclusion.


    Suddenly, Ancient God Ice Jade stood up. At this moment, all the other members of Ancient Soul Hall ended their cultivation. "What''s going on?" Zhao Feng found this rather suspicious.


    The little thieving cat also shot a confused glance at the map.


    A moment later, Ancient God Ice Jade began to thrum with powerful ripples of Divine Power. A handsome and elegant youth more than a thousand feet tall appeared, cloaked in streams of gold and silver light He gazed with an indifferent smile at the Sensory Tower.


    "A space projection!" Zhao Feng''s expression dimmed.


    The fact that this youth''s space projection had appeared here was proof that he was also in this dimension. This meant that Ancient Soul Hall still had other members here. Moreover, if this youth''s projection appeared at a time like this, did that mean he had a way to break the array?


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat''s expression became abnormally grim.


    "A Sensory Tower? The 132nd secret array of the Heaven''s Legacy secret arts, the Yuan-Absorbing Skyhold Array." The moment Yu Heng''s projection appeared, he called out the name of the structure and the array covering it.


    The Rank Nine array master in Ancient God Ice Jade''s team immediately lowered his head. From these words, one could see just how vast the gap between him and Yu Heng was.


    "If you understood the Heaven''s Legacy secret arts, you would have been able to easily break this area. At present, I can only tell you the weaknesses of this array," Yu Heng nonchalantly said.


    "Ancient God Mu Yu has a little understanding of the Heaven''s Legacy secret arts," Ancient God Ice Jade immediately said.


    The Rank Nine Ancient God array master of Ancient Soul Hall somewhat awkwardly stepped forward.


    "Oh! That''s good. I will now tell you where the core of the Yuan-Absorbing Skyhold Array is...." Yu Heng glanced at Ancient God Mu Yu and began to speak.


    Ancient God Mu Yu earnestly listened, and his eyes suddenly widened in shock. Yu Heng understood this array as if he had personally laid it down himself.


    "This one is an idiot and was only able to understand forty percent!" Once the explanation was finished, Ancient God Mu Yu had an ashamed look on his face.


    Ancient God Ice Jade and the others were slightly taken aback.


    "It doesn''t matter. Break the array," Yu Heng nonchalantly said.


    "Everyone, go to where I tell you and we''ll be able to quickly break the array!" Ancient God Mu Yu said, his face brimming with confidence.


    In a short while, the four members of Ancient Soul Hall had taken up their positions around the Sensory Tower.


    Inside the Sensory Tower:


    "Not good! They''re going to break the array?" Zhao Feng naturally understood what the members of Ancient Soul Hall were up to.


    He grimly gazed at that space projection. The youth had an eternally unperturbed face as if victory was already in his grasp. In addition, the members of Ancient Soul Hall had only begun to move to break the array after the projection of the youth had appeared. This was proof that this youth had already understood how to undo the array.


    Thwish! Thwish! Thwish! Thwish!


    The four members of Ancient Soul Hall used their most powerful attacks on the Yuan-Absorbing Skyhold Array. The Yuan- Absorbing Skyhold Array buzzed, the words atop it rapidly blinking. But this time, the array did not absorb these attacks.


    Bzzzzzzzz!


    The countless tadpole-like words on the Yuan-Absorbing Skyhold Array gradually began to move in reverse.


    "Not good! The array is about to broken!" Zhao Feng''s face turned serious.


    Even if he didn''t understand arrays that much, he could see that the members of Ancient Soul Hall had grasped the weakness of the array and would soon undo it.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat helplessly gestured. It was telling Zhao Feng that all it could do was use some energy so that the array could last a little longer.


    Not long after".


    Boooooom!


    A massive explosion came from around the Sensory Tower. Afterward, the array of silver light slowly began to fade.


    "Let''s go!" Ancient God Ice Jade, delighted, led her group charging into the Sensory Tower.


    "Hold on! Ancient God Jailsea, you remain here," Yu Heng suddenly said.


    Ancient God Jailsea''s expression froze. Now that the array was broken, they could charge in and capture Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng. This was an ideal opportunity to make up for his past errors. So why did Yu Heng call for him to stop? Was Yu Heng still feeling resentful about his past deeds?


    "Since Xin Wuheng''s team was able to activate the defensive array, that means that they already have basic control over the Sensory Tower. You must remain outside to ensure that they don''t escape from any other entrances," Yu Heng added.


    "So, that was the case." Ancient God Jailsea breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was even more astonished at the understanding Yu Heng showed toward the Sensory Tower.


    Brrrooom!


    At this moment, the main gates opened, and Ancient God Ice Jade''s team flew in.


    On the top floor of the Sensory Tower, the little thieving cat controlled the nine metal platforms so that the focus was placed on Ancient God Ice Jade''s team.


    "Eh? The traps in that area..." Zhao Feng was slightly alarmed. He remembered that there shouldn''t have been any traps in the Sensory Tower.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat immediately explained that this was its doing. The little thieving cat''s control over the Sensory Tower was not just restricted to its sensory abilities and defensive arrays; it also had control over some of the traps.


    An important building like the Sensory Tower naturally couldn''t have just a defensive array to protect itself. It also had many layers of defenses inside it


    "If that''s the case, they''ll still need some time to get here!" Zhao Feng was somewhat relieved and prepared to enter the Spacetime Robe to increase his strength once more.


    He had just reached the peak of Rank Eight, and he still had a lot of room to improve his Spacetime Intent and Soul Intent. The assault of Ancient God Ice Jade''s team would come eventually, and every bit of strength he could get before this would increase his ability to fight back by that much.


    But just when Zhao Feng was about to enter the Spacetime Robe Dimension, he suddenly realized that the Ancient Soul Hall trio had not triggered the trap. They smoothly disarmed it before advancing farther ahead.


    "It must be that person!" Zhao Feng glanced once more at the projection of Yu Heng outside the Sensory Tower.


    It was exactly as Zhao Feng predicted. Yu Heng had long ago guessed that this Sensory Tower was riddled with traps, so his projection had yet to depart. Through Ancient God Mu Yu''s descriptions, he told them how to undo the traps, allowing the Ancient Soul Hall trio to smoothly progress.


    "Simply incredible!" Ancient God Mu Yu was bursting with admiration for Yu Heng. Yu Heng seemed to know everything; he only needed to give a small description of the traps in this place for Yu Heng to give him a way to disarm them.


    They reached the second floor of the Sensory Tower.


    "Truly extraordinary!" Ancient God Ice Jade softly said. Without Yu Heng, even if they had broken the defensive array on their own, they would have found it very difficult to reach the top floor.


    The top floor of the Sensory Tower:


    "There''s no time!" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    The Ancient Soul Hall team was disarming the traps far too quickly. He had no time to enter the Spacetime Robe to cultivate. Buzz! Bzzz!


    At this moment, a powerful ancient bloodline energy emerged from an area near Zhao Feng, causing his bloodline to tremble in fear.


    "Xin Wuheng is about to breakthrough!" Zhao Feng was somewhat happy.


    Xin Wuheng was the strongest member on their side. If he was able to make a breakthrough, they would stand a much greater chance.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat had Zhao Feng come up to the black circular plate.


    Zhao Feng immediately felt like he could sense what was going on in every corner of the Sensory Tower, and his mind could also freely travel through the Sensory Tower.


    "I understand!" Zhao Feng understood what the little thieving cat wanted.


    The second floor of the Sensory Tower:


    The trio from Ancient Soul Hall was in the process of disarming a trap.


    "There is a Celestial Poison Silkworm Spirit Array here. Once triggered, the array will activate. Anyone weaker than an Ancient God injured by this array will die without question. If ordinary Ancient Gods are wounded, their Divine Power will swiftly drain away while their mind will become unfocused...." Yu Heng''s voice resounded in Ancient God Mu Yu''s mind.


    Yu Heng then explained the way to disarm the trap. Ancient God Mu Yu immediately stepped forward, reaching his hand to feel the wall as he prepared to disarm the array.


    But at this moment, an eye appeared behind Ancient God Mu Yu. This eye was embedded in the air, gleaming with silver light as Tribulation Lightning Flame gathered within it.


    "Watch out!" Ancient God Ice Jade immediately called out.


    But it was too late.


    Kacrack!


    The Tribulation Lightning Flame immediately exploded against Ancient God Mu Yu''s soul.


    Ah...!''1 Caught off guard, Ancient God Mu Yu screamed, and in a moment of panic, he accidentally took a step forward.


    Thwish! Thwish! Thwish! Thwish!


    Countless tiny red rays of light immediately appeared, and all of them began to rapidly spin while exuding an inexplicable chill.

 1378 All-Around Leap in Strength

    Chapter 1378 - All-Around Leap in Strength


    Countless tiny red rays of light immediately appeared, and all of them began to rapidly spin while exuding an inexplicable chill.


    One of Ancient God Mu Yu''s arms was wounded by several of these red rays of light


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Mu Yu had already come back to his senses by now, and he immediately backed up.


    He could sense a poison rapidly flowing through his body, boring in his marrow and soul. A moment later, his Divine Power began to drain away while his mind and soul became bleary and unfocused.


    "Ancient God Mu Yu, what''s your condition?" Ancient God Ice Jade and the other Ancient God immediately flew over.


    If something happened to Ancient God Mu Yu, it would be even more difficult for them to get to the top floor of the Sensory Tower.


    "It''s not lethal!" Ancient God Mu Yu seated himself on the ground and immediately began to circulate Divine Power to suppress the poison.


    The Celestial Poison Silkworm Spirit Array was only lethal to those below the Ancient God level. Its threat to Ancient Gods was somewhat reduced, but their Divine Power would constantly be drained, and they would be incapable of focusing their mind.


    "This is God Origin Stone. It can quickly recover Divine Power. If you need to use Divine Power, you can use this stone." Ancient God Ice Jade took out two pieces of gleaming jade-like stone.


    Besides searching for Xin Wuheng and the Ancient God Seal, they had also gathered up many precious resources. These God Origin Stones were a part of their harvest


    "Mm." Ancient God Mu Yu took the God Origin Stones.


    The Ancient Soul Race was a race specialized in the Soul Dao, so they had a somewhat stronger resistance to poisons that affected the soul. With the God Origin Stones, he could recover Divine Power at any crucial moments, freeing him from his problem.


    "Damn! That brat''s Space Transference Eye can penetrate through so many floors!"


    In this dimension, Divine Sense was suppressed, and these high-level Heaven''s Legacy Race buildings could also keep out Divine Sense. Logically speaking, without a soul mark or the ability to spread Divine Sense to a certain area, it wasn''t possible to manifest a Space Transference Eye.


    "They''re in control of the Sensory Tower, so it''s not strange that they can do this. You must be cautious and watch your surroundings. When you see a Space Transference Eye, immediately used soul attacks," Yu Heng''s voice rang out in their minds.


    "He won''t get a second chance!" Ancient God Ice Jade coldly said.


    As a member of the Ancient Soul Race, she was extremely sensitive to soul energy and was also a master of soul attacks. Ancient God Ice Jade was confident that, if Zhao Feng used his Space Transference Eye again, it would be the last time he ever used it.


    "Continue advancing. Although the array has been activated, it''s not difficult to disarm it," Yu Heng spoke once more.


    The three members of Ancient Soul Hall were somewhat taken aback. They once more felt that Yu Heng was unfathomable and mysterious.


    On the top floor, Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat could observe every movement of Ancient God Ice Jade''s team through the nonagon of light.


    "They''ve started disarming traps again!" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    He had some authority over the Sensory Tower, so he could use his Space Transference Eye to activate traps and arrays, but even these actions didn''t have too much effect. They could only buy a little more time. Although the arrays and traps were activated, Ancient Soul Hall had the means of disarming them.


    After some time, Ancient Soul Hall team had disarmed the Celestial Poison Silkworm Spirit Array and ventured deeper in. It didn''t take long before they reached the third floor.


    "They''ll definitely be on their guard. A second attempt won''t succeed so easily." Zhao Feng did not recklessly take action.


    The chances of success were very small, and he would also have to deal with the frenzied attacks from the Ancient Soul Hall trio.


    At the Ancient God level, one had the ability to attack the Space Transference Eye and damage Zhao Feng''s soul.


    However, if Zhao Feng did not try to stop them, the trio would quickly reach the sixth floor - the top floor.


    As expected, the Ancient Soul Hall trio swiftly broke through the third floor and entered the fourth floor.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    At this moment, Zhao Feng immediately felt a powerful bloodline energy sweeping through the area. A moment later, Xin Wuheng emerged, his energy gradually retreating back into his body.


    "You broke through?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Only Xin Wuheng was capable of contending against the half-step God Lord, and now, Xin Wuheng had smoothly reached the peak of Rank Nine, allowing him to take another stride forward in strength.


    "What''s the situation?" Xin Wuheng asked as he turned to the nonagon, upon which he immediately paled. He could see everything on the nonagon; the Ancient Soul Hall team was about to reach the top floor.


    "Ancient God Jailsea is standing guard outside the Sensory Tower, and there seems to be other Ancient Soul Hall experts present in this dimension." Zhao Feng explained the entire situation to Xin Wuheng.


    "If that''s the case, we have to get out of here!" Xin Wuheng said after thinking for a few moments.


    If they remained here for too long, once the other experts from Ancient Soul Hall arrived, they would find it even harder to escape.


    But escaping was easier said than done. After all, Ancient Soul Hall experts were much faster than they were. This also meant that a prerequisite to successfully escaping was ensuring that Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea could not pursue.


    "Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount are at a crucial moment in their breakthroughs...." Xin Wuheng spoke once more.


    If they were interrupted at this time, they would suffer a backlash and find it very difficult to breakthrough again. Moreover, if the two of them succeeded in breaking through, the group''s strength would increase once more.


    "Let''s work together to delay them for a while," Zhao Feng immediately said.


    "Ancient God Mu Yu, your understanding of traps has gotten much better!" Ancient God Ice Jade faintly chuckled.


    All of them noticed that Ancient God Mu Yu was able to disarm traps much faster than before.


    "Haha, I must thank Yu Heng!" Ancient God Mu Yu laughed.


    As he disarmed arrays, he grew more proficient, and there were even times when he could spot clues without any reminder from Yu Heng.


    "Hurry up! Only the last floor remains," Yu Heng coldly said.


    The Ancient Soul Hall trio had already reached the fifth floor. They were about to reach the top floor!


    "Yes!" Ancient God Mu Yu was filled with admiration for Yu Heng, so he was willing to follow all his orders. He walked up to the front and began to disarm the traps and arrays.


    "Wait!" Ancient God Ice Jade suddenly shouted.


    A moment later, a figure appeared in the passage ahead of them.


    "Xin Wuheng!" Ancient God Ice Jade sternly said.


    "Xin Wuheng, obediently hand over the Ancient God Seal!" Ancient God Mu Yu stared at Xin Wuheng and said. "Keep dreaming!" Xin Wuheng coldly replied.


    Thwish!


    He raised his right hand, circulating boundless Divine Power, and shot out several bolts of vicious energy from his fingers. Several bolts of dazzling white light, endowed with formidable physical power, shot forward.


    "Then just wait for your death!" Ancient God Ice Jade''s face chilled as the snow and ice around her immediately flew forward.


    This snow and ice froze all energy and life in their path.


    Boom! Bang!


    But as they collided with Xin Wuheng''s bolts of finger energy, a part of the cloud of ice and snow shattered to pieces. "Mm? This kid has gotten stronger!" Ancient God Ice Jade was taken aback.


    In their two casual attacks, Xin Wuheng was the one with the upper hand.


    Although Ancient God Ice Jade was more skilled in Soul Dao attacks, her Divine Power was still at the level of a half-step God Lord. In other words, Xin Wuheng''s strength had reached the level of a half-step God Lord as well. To have this level strength after just breaking through to peak Rank Nine, Xin Wuheng truly lived up to his reputation.


    Ancient God Ice Jade focused her eyes, and even colder Intent energy flowed out of her body. This was finally enough to freeze and shatter Xin Wuheng''s bolts of finger energy.


    At this moment, a dreamy silver eye appeared above the Ancient Soul Hall trio.


    "Water Lightning Illusion Domain!"


    Arcs of electricity surged out of the silver eye. This Lightning energy swiftly absorbed the surrounding Ice energy and formed a massive Water Lightning net to cover the Ancient Soul Hall trio.


    After launching this attack, Zhao Feng immediately dispelled his Space Transference Eye.


    "That brat again!" Ancient God Ice Jade coldly said. If Xin Wuheng hadn''t appeared, she would have been able to immediately react to Zhao Feng''s Space Transference Eye.


    Boom!


    Ancient God Ice Jade waved her hand, causing a savage Soul Beast akin to a shark to charge out The shark Soul Beast unleashed powerful Ice-Water Intent, creating a snowstorm that assailed the Water Lightning net. After struggling for a few moments, the Water Lightning net broke apart.


    "You don''t have enough strength to do anything to us!" the peak Rank Eight Ancient God coldly shouted.


    Xin Wuheng ignored his words, continuing to stand motionless in the passage.


    "Wait a moment! They''re preventing us from disarming the arrays!" Ancient God Mu Yu immediately said.


    "Focus on disarming. Leave the rest to us!" Ancient God Ice Jade coldly said.


    As long as they could successfully reach the top floor, everything would come to an end.


    But just when Ancient God Mu Yu was prepared to step forward, Xin Wuheng circulated his bloodline power and fired off several formidable bolts of finger energy.


    "Frozen Ice Mountain!" Ancient God Ice Jade extended her hands and unleashed a chilling snowstorm.


    This extremely cold snow appeared in front of Ancient God Mu Yu and condensed into a massive mountain of ice.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Xin Wuheng''s finger bolts crashed into the mountain and began to push their way through.


    Ancient God Ice Jade was taken aback. With Xin Wuheng using his bloodline energy, she was losing in a clash of physical abilities.


    "Freeze!" Ancient God Ice Jade called out, immediately increasing the power of the chilling energy so that she could freeze Xin Wuheng''s attacks within her ice mountain.


    "This kid''s strength...!" Ancient God Ice Jade''s gaze turned grim. If Xin Wuheng was truly given the time to mature, he would become a massive problem for Ancient Soul Hall.


    On the other side, her Soul Beast and the peak Rank Eight Ancient God were putting all their focus on guarding against Zhao Feng''s sneak attacks.


    Ancient God Mu Yu used this chance to rapidly disarm the traps.


    Soon...! Just wait patiently for your deaths! Ancient God Mu Yu mentally sneered.


    He had disarmed more than half of the traps on the fifth floor. They would soon be able to enter the sixth floor. As long as they could get to the sixth floor and hold down Zhao Feng and the others so that they couldn''t escape, Ancient God Jailsea could swiftly come to their aid. When the time came, two half-step God Lords working together would finish off Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.


    "Xin Wuheng, your Giant God Race will never have a chance to rise again!" Ancient God Ice Jade jeered.


    Although Xin Wuheng possessed enormous potential, as long as they could strangle this threat in the cradle, the Giant God Race would have no hope.


    "Eh? The traps have all stopped working!" Ancient God Mu Yu suddenly called out in alarm.


    A moment later:


    Boom! Boom!


    Two powerful ripples of bloodline energy exploded from the top floor of the Sensory Tower, causing the blood in all three members of the Ancient Soul Race to tremble.


    "This energy... not good!" Ancient God Ice Jade grimaced.


    These two energies were both full of the Giant God Race''s bloodline energy, and one of them had reached Rank Nine.

 1379 Holding Ones Head High

    Chapter 1379 - Holding One''s Head High


    "This energy... not good!" Ancient God Ice Jade grimaced.


    These two energies were both full of the Giant God Race''s bloodline energy, and one of them had reached Rank Nine.


    Based on what she knew, only Xin Wuheng was a Rank Nine Ancient God among the team the Giant God Race had sent to this place, but now, there was another one.


    At this moment, Xin Wuheng charged forward, his body brimming with enormous bloodline and physical power. Now that all the traps had ceased functioning, Xin Wuheng had no obstacles.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    At the same time, two figures flew down from the top floor.


    "Lord Wuheng, we''ve come to help you!" Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount had joyful looks on their faces.


    "Die!" Ancient God Resplendence bellowed, her two palms unleashing palm after palm of sharp Wind energy.


    When choosing cultivation resources, Ancient God Resplendence had obtained the third Nine Lotus Jade Life Flower, so she had directly broken into Rank Nine. In addition, the Celestial Blood Glass Fruit had caused her bloodline to evolve and greatly increased her strength.


    In addition, that Nine Lotus Jade Life Flower had nine lotus leaves, making it a perfect resource for those seeking to break into Rank Nine. Not only had Ancient God Resplendence broken through, she was able to establish an extremely firm foundation.


    As for Ancient God Sundermount, he had smoothly broken into the peak of Rank Eight and had an enormous chance of breaking into Rank Nine in the future.


    "How could this be? They..." Ancient God Mu Yu and the peak Rank Eight Ancient God were both rather alarmed.


    Not only had Xin Wuheng broken into peak Rank Nine, but the other two members of the Giant God Race had their own minor breakthroughs. The entire team had received a boost in strength.


    "You said just now that we couldn''t do anything to you. Let''s verify if those words are correct," Xin Wuheng indifferently said as Five Elements Intent slowly began to revolve around him.


    "Five Elements Law-Shattering Palm!" Xin Wuheng suddenly raised his palm, where five vortexes, each a different color, were spinning around his fingers. Each vortex contained a different kind of Intent energy.


    He unleashed this grandiose palm of five light vortexes. The massive energy contained in this palm could destroy everything, and wherever it passed, snow and ice would be obliterated.


    Boom! Bang!


    The five-colored palm crashed into the ice mountain, immediately destroying more than half of it, and now it was in the middle of mowing down the rest.


    "Don''t even think about it!" Ancient God Ice Jade''s face turned cold as she began to constantly wave her hands. She sent wave after wave of icy wind into the icy mountain in an attempt to hold back Xin Wuheng''s assault.


    "Break!" Xin Wuheng roared, more Five Elements energy gathering into the five-vortex palm.


    Boom! Bang!


    The five-vortex palm instantly pulverized the ice mountain and rumbled toward Ancient God Ice Jade.


    "This Xin Wuheng might have just broken into peak Rank Nine, but his understanding has already reached that of an ordinary half-step God Lord...." Ancient God Ice Jade''s expression darkened. She was no longer Xin Wuheng''s opponent in a clash of Divine Power attacks.


    As a member of the Ancient Soul Race though, she naturally would not just clash with Xin Wuheng in Divine Power forever.


    Ancient God Ice Jade waved a hand, immediately creating an ice storm that blocked the five-vortex palm. Suddenly, a sharp white awl shot out of the ice storm.


    "Sou²·Sealing Awl!"


    This white awl was suffused with dreadful cold energy. Even before it struck him, Xin Wuheng could already feel a stabbing cold in his soul.


    But at this moment, a silver eye appeared above Xin Wuheng, crackling with Tribulation Lightning energy.


    Kacrack!


    A Tribulation Lightning Flame rumbled toward the icy awl.


    "Damn! That brat...!" Ancient God Ice Jade''s gaze turned cold in fury.


    If she engaged in a long-distance battle against Xin Wuheng using soul attacks, her chances of victory would be higher. But in Xin Wuheng''s team was Zhao Feng, who was skilled in the Soul Dao.


    Back then, Ancient God Jailsea had lost to the combined assault of Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng. Ancient God Jailsea had said before that Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques were extremely strange and that she had to be careful around them.


    Thump!


    Xin Wuheng charged ahead. Ancient God Ice Jade''s soul attack had been greatly weakened by Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, so Xin Wuheng was able to ignore it.


    Boom!


    Xin Wuheng once more condensed five vortices in his palm and unleashed his attack.


    "No, I can''t get in a direct clash with him!" Ancient God Ice Jade immediately began to retreat.


    Xin Wuheng was a member of the Giant God Race, so the consequences of close combat with him were too gruesome to imagine.


    "Wind Walks the Nine Heavens!" Wind gusted around Xin Wuheng''s body, and he instantly began to stride through the air like it was solid ground, brimming with a graceful energy.


    In terms of speed, he still wasn''t necessarily comparable to a half-step God Lord, but in terms of movement techniques, no one present could compare to Xin Wuheng.


    On the other end, Ancient God Sundermount and Ancient God Resplendence began to battle with the other two members of Ancient Soul Hall. Although they had only just broken through, their foundations were extremely stable. They were stronger than normal, allowing them to deal with their opponents.


    "Elder!" Ancient God Mu Yu suddenly realized that Ancient God Ice Jade was falling back in the face of Xin Wuheng and called out in alarm as he followed.


    "Damn! This fellow''s movement techniques are too profound!" Ancient God Ice Jade grimaced.


    This area was too narrow and Xin Wuheng''s movement technique too profound, making it impossible for her to create much distance. Moreover, Zhao Feng was still hiding in the shadows, so if she used a soul attack, Zhao Feng would act to block it


    "Let''s retreat from this place!" Ancient God Ice Jade immediately messaged the others.


    "Okay!" Ancient God Mu Yu and the peak Rank Eight Ancient God nodded.


    The narrow confines of this area truly did restrict the power of the Ancient Soul Race. The Sensory Tower was also under the Giant God Race''s control. They would always feel uneasy while fighting in their enemy''s territory.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Ancient Soul Hall trio immediately prepared to fall back.


    "After them!" Xin Wuheng yelled.


    They couldn''t let these three enemies run. Their team''s location had already been exposed, and if there were still other members of Ancient Soul Hall in this dimension, they would definitely be making their way over. Thus, the Giant God Race team was still in danger and still needed to flee for their lives.


    However, if they fled immediately, Ancient God Ice Jade and her team would doggedly pursue them, so fleeing now was pointless. This meant that they had to make Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea incapable of chasing them before they could finally escape, and now was an excellent chance. They could not just let Ancient God Ice Jade go.


    "Haha, where are you running!?" Ancient God Sundermount laughed, a surge of pleasure running through his heart.


    Whenever they encountered an Ancient Soul Hall team before, they could only run. But this time, it was Ancient Soul Hall that was fleeing.


    "In speed, your Giant God Race can''t keep up with us." Ancient God Mu Yu sneered.


    At this moment:


    "Is that so?" A voice resounded in the soul dimension.


    Bzzzz!


    A dreamy silver eye suddenly appeared in front of the Ancient Soul Hall trio. A dreamy mist surged out, and the eye created a multicolored maze that exuded a powerful attractive force.


    "Watch out!" Ancient God Ice Jade immediately called out


    But her warning was completely meaningless; the souls of Ancient God Mu Yu and the peak Rank Eight Ancient God were immediately sucked in and bound by that undefiable strength. One could clearly see that a part of their souls had already been pulled away.


    "Zhao Feng...!" Ancient God Ice Jade''s face was a sheet of ice as she gnashed her teeth.


    As a member of a race skilled in the Soul Dao and a half-step God Lord, Ancient God Ice Jade was extremely resistant to Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye. At this moment, she could attack Zhao Feng''s Space Transference Eye and stop the Gaze of the God Eye.


    But she had no time to attack Zhao Feng.


    "Giant God Finger!"


    Thwish!


    Behind her, a massive bolt of finger energy infused with astonishing physical strength shot forward.


    "Annihilating Flower Palm!"


    "Heavy Earth God Fist!"


    Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount both launched powerful attacks at Ancient God Ice Jade.


    Damn, these people...!" Ancient God Ice Jade appeared slightly panicked.


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng had perfect teamwork. It was clear that they had already discussed their strategy. Zhao Feng''s Gaze of the God Eye was only effective against Rank Nine and lower, but it had no effect on Ancient God Ice Jade. Meanwhile, Xin Wuheng''s team could attack Ancient God Ice Jade without worrying about the other two. If this went on, the Gaze of the God Eye would not be interrupted, so the three members of the Giant God Race would have the absolute advantage while fighting Ancient God Ice Jade.


    Boom!


    The three attacks of the Giant God Race simultaneously landed on Ancient God Ice Jade.


    Ancient God Ice Jade was already disadvantaged when it came to Divine Power in a duel with Xin Wuheng, let alone against three members of the Giant God Race.


    "Ancient Soul Body Transfer!" Just when the attacks were about to land, Ancient God Ice Jade used her secret bloodline art.


    A moment later, her body became black and translucent, as if it had been entirely converted into a soul body.


    Although these attacks could also affect the soul, since they were still Divine Power attacks, they could not deal much damage to the soul. In addition, the souls of the Ancient Soul Race were already extremely tough. When using this secret art, they could block fatal attacks from experts one minor level above theirs.


    Brrrooom!


    The attacks of the trio passed right through Ancient God Ice Jade. Using this chance, Ancient God Ice Jade waved her hand, sending a black shark covered in a snowstorm charging upward.


    A moment later, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent and his God''s Spiritual Eye suffered a massive impact, and his eye-bloodline technique was interrupted.


    "Let''s go!" Ancient God Ice Jade was slightly pale as she called out


    The secret art just how had nullified most of the damage, but there was still some damage inflicted to her soul.


    "After them!" The three members of the Giant God Race immediately set off in pursuit.


    The air was filled with palms and fingers, all of them shooting toward the Ancient Soul Hall trio. Zhao Feng would occasionally use his Space Transference Eye to use offensive eye-bloodline techniques or illusion arts.


    Their target was Ancient God Ice Jade, but since it was just one target, it was easy for others to get caught up in the attacks as well. The two Ancient Gods next to Ancient God Ice Jade were caught in the crossfire.


    "No...!" The peak Rank Eight Ancient God was killed by the ripples from the attacks of the Giant God Race.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Mu Yu escaped from the Sensory Tower, much worse for wear. Ancient God Ice Jade was pale, her soul body having sustained significant wounds. Ancient God Mu Yu was also covered in wounds and was even missing an a¡¸m.


    "Ancient God Ice Jade, what''s going on?" Ancient God Jailsea immediately rushed up.


    He seemed concerned on the surface, but he was inwardly jeering. When Ancient God Jailsea failed, Ancient God Ice Jade treated him with little regard, but now...


    "Relax, with the two of us, they won''t dare to come out, nor can they escape!" Ancient God Jailsea faintly smiled.


    The team he had led also lost to Xin Wuheng''s group, so for Ancient God Ice Jade''s team to also be defeated was completely expected for him. But if the two of them worked together, the situation would be entirely different


    Boom!


    But before Ancient God Jailsea could finish speaking, several powerful auras emerged from the Sensory Tower entrance. Then, the three members of the Giant God Race charged out!

 1380 Winning a Round

    Chapter 1380 - Winning a Round


    The sudden appearance of the Giant God Race trio caused Ancient God Jailsea''s old face to turn slightly red. He just said that the Giant God Race team wouldn''t dare to come out, but a moment later, they had charged out.


    "Good! You''re actually sending yourselves to be killed!" Ancient God Jailsea gave a dry cough and then loudly laughed.


    Ancient God Ice Jade had also not expected that the members of the Giant God Race would actually come out.


    Xin Wuheng stood in front of the Sensory Tower, his thoughtful gaze fixed on Yu Heng''s projection. Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount gravely stared at the two half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall. If not for Xin Wuheng''s order, they would have never dared to charge out


    "Milord, what is our plan?" Ancient God Resplendence messaged.


    The other side had two half-step God Lords. The only person capable of standing up against half-step God Lords on their side was Xin Wuheng alone.


    "There''s no need to worry about that When the time comes, the two of you should work together to finish off that Rank Nine Ancient God as quickly as possible," Xin Wuheng calmly said.


    "The two of us will deal with the Rank Nine Ancient God, then...?" The two Giant God Race members were somewhat taken aback. Lord Wuheng was definitely going to deal with one of the half-step God Lords, so who would deal with the last one?


    "Don''t get careless," Yu Heng''s projection flatly said.


    The two half-step God Lords felt a little scorn at these words. Could two half-step God Lords and one Rank Nine Ancient God not deal with these members of the Giant God Race?


    Xin Wuheng looked once more at Yu Heng, his expression somewhat dimming. On the surface, Ancient Soul Hall had the advantage, but Yu Heng still told them to not be careless. In addition, the two half-step God Lords did not retort. One could see from this that this person had an abnormal status.


    "Since you''ve got suicidal notions, I''ll send you on your way!" Ancient God Jailsea savagely laughed as he flew forward, his weighty soul pressure instantly sweeping out over the earth.


    "Go!" Xin Wuheng called out


    Boom!


    In a flash of white light, three giants appeared over the earth. Xin Wuheng''s bloodline energy was the strongest, and it instantly drove away the pressure from Ancient God Jailsea''s soul.


    Thwish!


    Xin Wuheng thrust out a finger, scattering Yu Heng''s projection.


    "Ancient God Ice Jade, work with me to kill him first!" Ancient God Jailsea immediately called out The peak Rank Nine Xin Wuheng could somewhat put up a fight against him.


    Xin Wuheng was at the peak of Rank Nine, and his strength could not be underestimated. On top of that, Ancient God Jailsea had not fully recovered from his injuries. Thus, alone, he would find it very difficult to deal with Xin Wuheng.


    "Ancient God Jailsea, let''s have another battle!" Xin Wuheng stomped forward as he bellowed.


    Thwish!


    Ancient God Ice Jade immediately rushed at Xin Wuheng. The Ancient God Seal in his hand was their number one target!


    "Ancient God Ice Jade, your opponent is me!" A soul voice suddenly resounded through the world. A moment later, a dreamy silver eye appeared in the air.


    Ancient God Ice Jade instantly froze on the spot, and then she turned around and laughed. A peak Rank Eight Ancient God had actually challenged a half-step God Lord? Such a thing was unheard of. Not even Xin Wuheng was capable of such a feat.


    "That''s fine too. I''ll take care of you first!" Ancient God Ice Jade''s face slowly chilled.


    "What? Zhao Feng is going to take on a half-step God Lord?" Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount were both struck with disbelief.


    In truth though, inside the Sensory Tower, Ancient God Ice Jade had sustained rather heavy wounds, and she could use even less strength now than Ancient God Jailsea. It was precisely for this reason that Zhao Feng dared to challenge her.


    "Go!" Ancient God Ice Jade waved her hand, sending a black shark engulfed in a snowstorm rushing at the Eye of Heaven in the sky.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" The Eye of Heaven gathered up chaotic energy into a massive ball.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two clashed, and the black shark furiously roared as it exuded wave after wave of energy to resist the damage of the Earthshaking Nova.


    At the same time, a ripple of Eye Intent appeared nearby. A moment later, a black draconic flame spewed out


    "Ancient Soul Race! Giant God Race!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon laughed as its black flame grew larger and larger, eventually becoming a black sun that sent Destructive flames sweeping through the world.


    As the flames weakened, a pitch-black dragon five to six thousand feet long slowly emerged.


    "This energy...!"


    "What a powerful bloodline! Even stronger than the Giant God Race!"


    Everyone had their attention drawn to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "Black Destruction Serpent Dragon... Destruction Dragon Race!" Xin Wuheng was stunned.


    He naturally recognized this black serpent dragon as the one from the Divine Illusion Dimension. He just hadn''t expected that Zhao Feng would have tamed the black serpent dragon. In addition, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s bloodline had gotten even thicker, and its serpent dragon body had evolved into the body of a true dragon.


    "Destruction Dragon Race!?" the others also called out in surprise.


    The Destruction Dragon Race was ranked 9th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and was one of the most frightening races when it came to fighting power. If not for the fact that this Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was only a Rank Eight Ancient God, the Ancient Soul Hall members would have already lost the will to fight.


    "Destruction Dragon Breath!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon immediately began to brashly spew out black and red flames.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had reached Rank Eight some time ago, and after reaching this level, Zhao Feng granted it many resources. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was now only one step away from the peak of Rank Eight.


    Boom!


    A massive black and red ball of flame - a miniature sun - went about setting the entire world aflame.


    Although it was only Rank Eight, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s bloodline made its attacks exceptionally powerful.


    "Water Lightning Illusion Prison!" The Eye of Heaven released a binding-type illusion eye-bloodline technique. A green-blue Water Lightning energy immediately wrapped around Ancient God Ice Jade, the Illusion power seeping into her body.


    "Ten Thousand Li of Ice!" Ancient God Ice Jade coldly snorted, and a bone-freezing chill began to slowly eat away at the ball of fire.


    A few moments later, Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s Destruction Dragon Breath were both easily undone.


    Half-step God Lords truly are extraordinary! Zhao Feng was internally extremely agitated.


    Fighting with a half-step God Lord was truly too scary. And this was when Ancient God Ice Jade was heavily injured and not in peak condition!


    Thwish!


    The black shark received Ancient God Ice Jade''s orders and continued to attack the Eye of Heaven.


    "Play with my pet for a while!" Zhao Feng sneered as he used Spatial Shift to send out the little thieving cat. Meow!


    The little thieving cat immediately extended two paws. In a flash of dazzling silver runes, a silver cat phantom lunged out. This silver cat gradually grew larger until it was even larger than the shark, and then it lunged forward.


    "That''s the secret bloodline art of the Ancient Soul Race, the Soul Devouring Strike!" Ancient God Ice Jade stared in shock at the little thieving cat.


    But after unleashing this technique, the little thieving cat vanished.


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Ice Jade suddenly noticed something.


    Swish!


    The little thieving cat had appeared near her.


    The little thieving cat extended its two paws. Its left paw sent out white halos of light while its right paw exuded gray ice.


    When Ancient God Ice Jade was engulfed by the white halos, even though the power wasn''t that intense, she immediately felt her strength being restrained.


    Meanwhile, the gray ice entered Ancient God Ice Jade''s body. She had not sensed any chill from this gray ice beforehand, but the moment it touched her, a freezing Ice energy began to spread through her body.


    Even though Ancient God Ice Jade cultivated Ice Intent, she still could not help but shiver.


    "These are the powers of the God Sealing Race and the Icedeep Race!" Ancient God Ice Jade called out in alarm. Just where did this little cat come from?


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat made a strange face and then fled.


    "Damn cat, where are you running!?" Ancient God Ice Jade, her expression gloomy, waved her hand, sending a massive mountain of ice toward the cat.


    Although she was heavily injured and was currently being suppressed by the little thieving cat''s secret art, Ancient God Ice Jade''s attacks were still extremely powerful.


    "God Eye Disintegration!" The Eye of Heaven instantly focused on Ancient God Ice Jade''s soul-freezing attack and unleashed a dreamy light.


    Whoosh!


    The ice mountain''s power suddenly began to weaken.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Ice Jade was shocked. These people had given her far too many surprises today.


    With the power of the attack weakened, the little thieving cat was able to escape back into the Sensory Tower and to the top floor.


    At this moment:


    "God Eye Duplication!" The Eye of Heaven suddenly released a dreamy mist. An extremely cold ice mountain flew out of the mist, whistling toward Ancient God Ice Jade.


    Zhao Feng''s cultivation had advanced, and Ancient God Ice Jade''s attack just now was far inferior to Ancient God Jailsea''s Soul-Annihilating Roar, so duplicating it was somewhat easier.


    "This... is that move Ancient God Jailsea talked about!" Ancient God Ice Jade''s eyes widened in surprise.


    At this moment, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon used its Origin Destruction energy and unleashed a black-red dragon phantom, which charged at Ancient God Ice Jade.


    Kabooom!


    Ancient God Ice Jade vanished beneath the two attacks.


    Meanwhile, Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount had forced Ancient God Mu Yu to flee. The two of them then immediately went to help Xin Wuheng.


    Ancient God Jailsea was immediately plunged into a perilous situation. He was prepared to go to the aid of Ancient God Ice Jade when he suddenly realized that Zhao Feng had succeeded in temporarily restraining her.


    This is simply inconceivable. How could a half-step God Lord be restrained by a peak Rank Eight Ancient God?


    Although Zhao Feng had many tricks up his sleeve and even helpers like the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the little thieving cat, it still shouldn''t have been the case!


    "Ancient God Jailsea, you''ll be losing this time as well!" Xin Wuheng suddenly began to harness the boundless energy of the world. Together with the other Giant God Race members, he filled the sky with palms and fists of energy that threatened to engulf Ancient God Jailsea.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Jailsea was somewhat pale.


    Two half-step God Lords were actually no match for Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng''s team. Of course, the primary reason was that Zhao Feng managed to suppress Ancient God Ice Jade, which was something that no one expected.


    On the top floor of the Sensory Tower, the little thieving cat retook control.


    The little thieving cat had reached the highest level of authority over the Sensory Tower and could now push the range to ten million li.


    Suddenly, three white spots of light appeared at the edge of the Sensory Tower''s range.


    Bzzzz!


    In a flash of white light, the nonagon began to magnify the region around those three dots of light Two members of Ancient Soul Hall and one handsome and elegant youth were rapidly making their way to the Sensory Tower.

 1381 Locustmoth Race

    Chapter 1381 - Locustmoth Race


    The two half-step God Lords had extremely unsightly expressions at this time. They never would''ve expected that all the members of the Giant God Race would experience such a significant leap in cultivation. There were also other reasons, like the Sensory Tower and Ancient God Ice Jade being injured.


    At this moment, even though the two half-step God Lords were working together, they were still being held down by the Giant God Race team. If this continued, Ancient Soul Hall would be the one that was defeated.


    Suddenly, however, the two half-step God Lords simultaneously received a message; "We''re coming."


    The sender was none other than Yu Heng.


    Although Yu Heng was only a Rank Nine Ancient God, he had created a mysterious and unfathomable impression in the minds of the Ancient Soul Hall members. The cultivation, talent, and methods Yu Heng had attained at his young age made it almost a certainty that he would become a God Lord in the future. For this reason, all the members of Ancient Soul Hall treated Yu Heng with great caution.


    Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea showed no change in expression upon hearing this news.


    Yu Heng''s team could be said to be the strongest of the three teams. Once Yu Heng and Ancient God Destruction Flow arrived, not even Xin Wuheng borrowing God Lord power would be able to do anything against the power of three half-step God Lords.


    But what the two of them did not know was that Zhao Feng and the Giant God Race members were already aware of the situation. They even knew just how far away Yu Heng''s team was.


    "Flee immediately, or else we''ll all be captured," Zhao Feng messaged.


    However, successfully escaping was not so simple. Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng began to discuss their plans.


    "Okay! I''ll push them back momentarily!" Xin Wuheng firmly declared.


    Boom!


    He began to exert the full power of his bloodline energy, and his massive body began to exude a dazzling white light, making it appear supreme and divine. Immense worldly energy began to gather around him, accompanied with a domineering aura.


    "Not good! Xin Wuheng is fully activating his bloodline! He must be prepared to use some forbidden secret art!" Ancient God Jailsea immediately became wary.


    "Relax. No matter what he does, when Yu Heng and Ancient God Destruction Flow arrive, everything will be over!" Though this was what Ancient God Ice Jade said, she still warily retreated a certain distance.


    "Giant God Heavenfall Palm!" Xin Wuheng loudly called out as he gathered up all the energy over his head.


    Gradually, a massive hand appeared in the sky, blocking out the light and casting the world into shadow.


    "So strong..." Ancient God Jailsea immediately felt an enormous weight.


    If he was struck by this palm, he would be heavily injured once more, and his foundation would also be severely damaged. Brrrooom!


    The massive crystalline white palm plunged down from high in the sky. Furious storms erupted as a dreadful pressure appeared beneath the palm.


    The moment this palm began to descend, the Giant God Race group and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon began to retreat.


    "Retreat for now. They''re doomed anyway!" Ancient God Ice Jade immediately messaged.


    The two of them retreated some distance.


    At this moment, the massive white crystal palm crashed down.


    Brrrooom!


    The earth instantly shattered as frightening high-level energy exploded in every direction.


    Meanwhile, at the top floor of the Sensory Tower, a square hole appeared.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat immediately shot out The entire team began to flee the area.


    "Not good! They''re running!" Ancient God Ice Jade called out in alarm.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Jailsea was dumbstruck.


    Logically speaking, since the Giant God Race had the advantage, they shouldn''t have suddenly decided to retreat "After them!" Ancient God Ice Jade called out


    The two of them were half-step God Lords, so when it came to speed, they were much faster than members of the Giant God Race.


    At this moment, Ancient God Destruction Flow and Yu Heng arrived on the scene.


    "They actually ran?" Ancient God Destruction Flow had a chilly face as he prepared to pursue.


    Suddenly, Yu Heng''s face turned grave, and he roared, "Don''t pursue! Retreat!"


    Yu Heng seemed rather agitated. This was the first time the members of Ancient Soul Hall had seen Yu Heng show such emotion.


    "This..." Ancient God Jailsea didn''t know what to do.


    Although Xin Wuheng''s team had escaped, he would definitely be able to catch up. This was an excellent opportunity to make up for his mistakes, but now, Yu Heng was telling them to not pursue?


    Although they didn''t know why, they suddenly felt an extreme danger. At the same time, they also did not want to defy Yu Heng''s orders.


    Thwish! Thwish!


    Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea immediately began to fly toward Yu Heng''s location.


    As they retreated, the Sensory Tower suddenly began to thrum with extremely powerful ripples of energy.


    "Oh no!" The two of them grimaced, the sense of danger intensifying, and they began to fly even faster.


    Rumble!


    The Sensory Tower exploded, vanishing in boundless destructive and divine light. This forbidden energy was capable of even turning a Rank Nine Ancient God into ash.


    The area where the Sensory Tower once stood was now a massive crater.


    Ugh!


    Ancient God Ice Jade had started her escape a little later, so she was struck by some of the aftershocks and vomited blood midair.


    "So, that''s why..." Ancient God Jailsea''s heart thumped in fear.


    If not for Yu Heng''s prompt warning, the two of them would have been thoroughly slain.


    At this moment, Ancient God Mu Yu returned, an embarrassed look on his face. A moment ago, he was forced to flee by the assault of two members of the Giant God Race.


    "As expected of the Heaven''s Legacy Cat...." Yu Heng softly said.


    The more important buildings of the Heaven''s Legacy Race would all have self-destruction sequences. This was to prevent secret information and intelligence from falling into enemy hands.


    Yu Heng led his team of three up to Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea and then yelled, "Let''s go!"


    "But, their trail..." Ancient God Jailsea was hesitant.


    Xin Wuheng''s obstruction and the self-destruction of the Sensory Tower had allowed Zhao Feng and the others to escape the range of the crystal ball.


    "Since I''ve already seen them, I can roughly estimate their trail," Yu Heng indifferently said.


    These words caused everyone to relax.


    And now, all three teams had gathered! Three half-step God Lords, two Rank Nine Ancient Gods in Ancient God Mu Yu and Yu Heng, and one peak Rank Eight


    If they found Xin Wuheng''s team again, would they still be able to escape? Even Ancient God Jailsea, who had failed twice already, would still say that this was impossible.


    "Ancient God Jailsea, you''ve lost again!" Ancient God Destruction Flow couldn''t help but jeer.


    In this situation, Ancient God Jailsea could only brush it off.


    Swoosh...


    The Ancient Soul Hall members began to move according to Yu Heng''s orders.


    "Tell me what happened during the battle," Yu Heng indifferently said.


    His projection was destroyed back there, so he had no idea how the battle went.


    "It''s like this...." Ancient God Jailsea began to explain.


    After leaving the Sensory Tower, Zhao Feng''s party began to rapidly escape.


    "Brother Cat, you truly are formidable!" Ancient God Sundermount heartily laughed.


    "I just wonder if the members of Ancient Soul Hall were killed in the explosion." Ancient God Resplendence chuckled. Even they found it difficult to determine if this was the case.


    "Even if we killed one or two of them, they still won''t let us go. The urgent task at hand is to get away from this place as quickly as possible," Zhao Feng suggested. The Ancient Soul Hall members had a tool that could sense their location, so it would be hard to escape.


    After flying for three days in a row, they finally began to slow down. On a certain day, the group decided to head underground to take a break.


    As they recovered from their injuries and exhaustion, they chatted.


    "What should we do next?" Ancient God Sundermount asked.


    "Let''s look for Ancient God Cheng Yun and see where he is now. If we can, we''ll take him with us. Perhaps we can find a way to expel that Thought Body from his mind," Xin Wuheng said after some thinking.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun was still a member of the Giant God Race, and his strength was not to be underestimated. If they could bring him back, a God Lord expert might be able to restore Ancient God Cheng Yun''s mind.


    This idea immediately gained the approval of the others.


    Xin Wuheng took out a message token, sent a message, and then sensed the direction the message had gone.


    "This way!"


    The group altered their course and continued on their journey.


    After traveling for some distance:


    "The number of Heaven''s Legacy Race buildings is decreasing," Ancient God Resplendence suddenly said.


    The others had also noticed this.


    "The Time Intent suppression has increased," Zhao Feng immediately said.


    The Time Intent suppression increased very steadily and gradually, so an ordinary person would find it very difficult to notice. Zhao Feng had the highest level of Time Intent in the group at Level Six, so he was the first to realize.


    "That''s true!" Ancient God Sundermount was slightly alarmed.


    The Time Intent suppression truly was stronger here than it was around the Sensory Tower.


    After traveling farther, the group rarely saw any more Heaven''s Legacy Race buildings. The most they saw were some ruins. Suddenly, they spotted a hazy white light coming from one of the ruins up ahead, pulsing with strange ripples.


    "Eh? That is...?"


    They couldn''t help but approach. The closer they got, the stronger the Time Intent suppression was.


    It was only when they were extremely close to that hazy white light that they finally saw what it was. It was a massive gray- white stone slab, upon which a word in a language that no one recognized had been written. This word flashed with hazy white light and pulsed with Time Intent.


    "Just a single word possesses such powerful Time Intent!?" Ancient God Resplendence was shocked.


    From this stone slab and the other damaged objects around it, they could conclude that this wasn''t a Heaven''s Legacy Race building.


    Xin Wuheng took this stone slab into his interspatial dimension, and the group continued on its way.


    After traveling a little longer, the ground suddenly became desolate and barren, with barely even a blade of grass to be seen. The Time Intent suppression was also continuing to get stronger.


    "What''s going on? I can still sense vitality up ahead, so why is this place so barren?" Ancient God Sundermount curiously asked.


    Bzzzzz!


    At this moment, everyone heard a soft and rapid sound in the distance. Everyone warily turned to look.


    A few moments later, a massive black fog began to rush over, and that numbing sound became even clearer.


    "No, that''s not a black fog...." Zhao Feng''s face suddenly froze in shock.


    This was no black fog, but a cloud of black insects with the same appearance. Each insect was about the size of an infant''s fist, and they were so densely packed that they numbered in the hundreds of millions. Wherever they passed, they would drain the area of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and vitality.


    "What? Insects!?" The Giant God Race members were alarmed.


    As the black "fog" approached, everyone finally got a clear view.


    "So many!" Zhao Feng was shocked once more.


    This was an uncountable number of insects - a sea of insects. Almost all the insects had reached the True God level.


    True Gods were essentially ants in the eyes of Ancient Gods, but when there were enough ants, even an elephant could be toppled.


    "Could this be the race ranked 10th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races...?" Ancient God Sundermount''s face went slack.


    "The Locustmoth Race!?" Xin Wuheng''s face twisted.

 1382 The Mysterious Fragmen

    Chapter 1382 - The Mysterious Fragment


    "The Locustmoth Race!?" Xin Wuheng''s face twisted.


    The Locustmoth Race was the 10th ranked race among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races - a forbidden race that was the ancestor of all insect races of the Fan Universe. It was known as the Ancestor of All Insects!


    In terms of fighting power, the Locustmoth Race could not compare to the 9th ranked Destruction Dragon Race, but in terms of sheer terror, it definitely exceeded the Destruction Dragon Race.


    In a sea of insects, there was only one true member of the Locustmoth Race; the Locustmoth Mother. As the Ancestor of All Insects, this race gave birth to countless other insects. These descendants had extremely thin bloodlines, and though they could not compare to the true Locustmoth Race, they still had various strange abilities.


    Some descendants were capable of devouring metal and easily overturning a complex of buildings. Others could swallow ice or fire, some were incredibly sturdy, others so tiny that they were almost invisible to the naked eye, and some of them could devour souls. These descendants were called "Moth Larvae," and they formed the terrifying insect sea army.


    There was definitely one member of the Locustmoth Race inside this sea of insects - the legendary Locustmoth Mother.


    Bzzzzz!


    The uncountable Moth Larvae surged toward the Giant God Race members in vast waves. These small insects were all pitch-black, their shells were covered in bizarre patterns, and their mouths were round and circled with countless teeth. They seemed repulsive and dreadful.


    "Let''s go! The Locustmoth Race shows extreme hostility to all other races!" Ancient God Resplendence immediately said.


    There was a rumor in the Chixing Zone that a God Lord, when exploring some ruins, had unintentionally offended the Locustmoth Race. Afterward, a sea of insects had chased that God Lord for a thousand years before finally devouring them.


    Everyone immediately prepared to retreat. Just as expected, when the sea of insects saw the group, it immediately began to exude enormous killing intent.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    At this moment, a soul ripple pulsed out from the center of the insect sea. A moment later, the insect sea divided in two. One part continued forward while the other part chased after the Giant God Race team.


    "Not good! We''ve caught their attention!" Ancient God Sundermount was flabbergasted.


    Bzzzzz!


    The dense and dreadful sea of insects, seething with killing intent, charged at the Giant God Race team. "Annihilating Flower Palm!" Ancient God Resplendence thrust out a palm.


    Boom!


    A palm of Wind energy sliced into the sea of insects but quickly vanished.


    "An individual insect doesn''t have a very high level of cultivation, but when they''re joined together, they have the strange ability to decay and rot!" Zhao Feng had observed the scene just now through his left eye.


    The majority of these insects ranged from Rank One to Rank Four, but they were able to block an attack from someone many ranks above their own, a Rank Nine Ancient God. This was because the insects had formidable defenses and small sizes, so each of them individually took less damage.


    Ancient God Resplendence''s palm was shared between several million insects, causing it to be blocked. Even if there were losses, they would be insignificant for this insect sea.


    The top ten ancient races really aren''t simple! Zhao Feng internally sighed.


    Meow!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat emerged from the interspatial dimension and meowed at the insect sea. At this moment, its aura changed from a complicated mixture of energies to a single one.


    If one sensed carefully, one would find that the bloodline energy exuded by the little thieving cat was extremely similar to the energy exuded by the insect sea.


    Bzzzzz!


    The insect sea attacking the Giant God Race team instantly stopped in confusion. The part of the insect sea that was heading off into the distance also stopped. Not long afterward, a slightly larger insect with violet-gold patterns on its back emerged from the countless insects.


    When this insect emerged, even the Giant God Race members felt their blood tremble as they sensed that immense and boundless pressure. It was as if this small mother insect was a vast and ancient mountain.


    Zhao Feng also sensed a ripple from the Origin of his God''s Spiritual Eye, and he was rather astounded.


    "The mother insect!" The Giant God Race members were all surprised.


    Only this insect with violet-gold patterns was a true member of the Locustmoth Race. The rest of the insects were its descendants and slaves.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat began to communicate with the mother insect. The little thieving cat was explaining that they were not enemies and meant no harm. In addition, it asked why the mother insect was in such a hurry.


    When the insect sea discovered Zhao Feng and the others, it should have attacked with the entire swarm, but it divided into two, with the mother insect leading one batch away. There had to be a reason for this.


    Buzz!


    The mother insect let out a sharp buzz. The insect sea that was pursuing Zhao Feng and the others immediately withdrew. Soon after, that dreadful insect sea flew away.


    "This... Brother Cat, what did you do just now that made the insect sea stop attacking us?" Ancient God Sundermount had an amazed look on his face, and he was filled with admiration for the little thieving cat


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat began to gesture, conveying that this insect sea was headed toward a major treasure ground of this dimension.


    This explanation had everyone shocked. With the power of that insect sea, even two half-step God Lords would only be able to flee. And how could any sort of treasure ground that tempted this insect sea contain anything ordinary?


    But those insects were clearly still rather hostile to them. If they followed, they might provoke the insect sea. Moreover, if they followed, they would essentially be competing for treasure with the insect sea, and making an enemy of this dreadful insect sea was an extremely irrational decision. Afterward, they would be endlessly pursued by it.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat began to gesture again. Its meaning was that this mother insect did not have a very high cultivation level. It was roughly around peak Rank Nine. With Xin Wuheng''s cultivation and the farsight ability of Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye, they could follow the insect sea and still not be discovered. When the time came, they could act according to the situation.


    After relaying this message, the little thieving cat messaged Zhao Feng, saying that if Zhao Feng didn''t go, he would regret it


    "Then let''s go and take a look. If it''s too dangerous, we''ll just immediately retreat," Zhao Feng suggested.


    After some more discussion, the members of the Giant God Race agreed. They wanted to see for themselves what sort of treasure ground could attract such high regard from this vast army of Moth Larvae.


    Swoosh...


    The group began to follow the insect sea''s trail. A few moments later, they spotted the insect sea once more. They all kept a set distance between them and the insect sea, so they remained undiscovered.


    "The Time Intent suppression has suddenly gotten extremely strong!" Ancient God Sundermount suddenly said.


    The others had also noticed this and nodded. This sudden change in environment confirmed that there was a secret up ahead.


    Not long after...


    "They''ve stopped," Zhao Feng said.


    At present, Zhao Feng could at most see the insect sea, but not what was in front of it


    "Let''s shift positions. This way, we can be close to the treasure ground while still not being discovered by the insect sea," Zhao Feng suggested to the group.


    The group began to fly to the left while slowly creeping forward. It wasn''t long before a massive ruined building appeared before them.


    This was an ancient gray fortress, covered in mysterious patterns. The timeworn fortress exuded Time Intent energy from every surface.


    "That isn''t a building of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Everyone was taken aback.


    Almost all the buildings they had seen previously belonged to the Heaven''s Legacy Race. This was the first intact building they had seen in this style, so they found it abnormally strange. However, now that they thought about it, they had encountered many ruins of buildings on their journey that weren''t in the style of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and they were rather similar to this gray fortress.


    "This ancient fortress might not be a Heaven''s Legacy Race building, but it''s still extremely unusual. It seems to be the building of another powerful race!" Xin Wuheng sternly said.


    In the Ancient Era, many abnormal powerful races had developed their own cultures and building styles.


    Upon taking another few steps forward, the group realized that there were countless resources around this gray fortress, and most of them were primarily Time Intent resources.


    The resources growing on the gray fortress were rather valuable and extremely old. They had already spotted three stalks of Moonlight Sky Bamboo. Besides that, they had also spotted several more treasures on the same level as Moonlight Sky Bamboo.


    "So many precious natural treasures!"


    The eyes of Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount were practically shining with desire. The value of the resources here added together was far more than everything else they had obtained.


    "Such a treasure ground can''t not be occupied already," Zhao Feng sternly said.


    In this dimension, any place with abundant Yuan Qi or resources would be occupied by extremely powerful Yao Gods. The master of that strange ancient fortress was definitely an existence that even the insect sea viewed with great apprehension.


    When he thought of this, Zhao Feng became extremely curious to know what was inside. The others were equally curious.


    Bzzzzz!


    The insect sea outside the damaged fortress suddenly began to drone, and then it surged into the fortress. Bzzzz!


    At this moment, white ripples of light swept out from the fortress. Everything in the world instantly began to move extremely slowly. Even the attacks of the insect sea slowed.


    Zhao Feng and the others could also sense an extremely powerful Time Intent


    "Just who is emitting this Time energy?" Ancient God Resplendence grunted. He couldn''t even determine what level this Time Intent was.


    "Around Level Nine!" Zhao Feng called out


    Time Intent was one of the most difficult to cultivate of all Intents, but this Time Intent was at Level Nine!


    At this moment, several white rays of light shot out from the ancient fortress.


    Thwish!


    One of the lights broke away from the rest. Everyone, including the innumerable insects, stared at this mysterious ball of light


    Zhao Feng immediately used his God''s Spiritual Eye''s see-through ability to see what was inside the ball of light.


    "That''s... a fragment?" Zhao Feng''s expression froze. He had thought it would be some powerful race or some ancient Yao God, but he had never expected it to be a fragment - a fragment of a mirror.


    But this fragment put the entire insect sea on guard. Just where could this fragment have come from?


    "Haha, you''ve come again! But this time, you will still go back empty-handed!" an elderly Spacetime-infused voice came from the fragment.


    Buzz!


    The insect sea let out a dreadful drone.


    The insects instantly received the order of their mother and began to take up formation. In just a few short moments, they had taken the form of a round hive.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    All the insects united their strength to resist the Time energy exuded by the fragment


    The hive suddenly began to roll forward, moving two times faster than before, and it seemed like it was on the verge of reaching the gray fortress.

 1383 Ancestral Artifact Fragmen

    Chapter 1383 - Ancestral Artifact Fragment


    In front of the gray fortress, hundreds of millions of Moth Larvae soldiers had taken the shape of a pitch-black round hive. Kabooom!


    With incredible density and unimaginable weight, this hive gathered up immense amounts of energy and began to charge at the Time energy produced by the mysterious fragment The insect sea ball, despite the vast sea of Time energy opposing it, actually managed to advance a little.


    On the other side of the fortress, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng were using their own methods to observe this scene, and they both couldn''t help but be shocked. Any insect in the insect sea army would be an ant before an Ancient God, exterminated in a single flick of the finger, but hundreds of millions of these Moth Larvae arranged in this strange formation could produce a terrifying power. This power might even be above a half-step God Lord.


    "Still able to forcefully advance in the face of Level Nine Time Intent...." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sigh in wonder. If it were him or Xin Wuheng, they would have been incapable of opposing the Time energy produced by this fragment


    "What''s the situation?" Ancient God Sundermount and Ancient God Resplendence had become somewhat impatient.


    There was a vast number of precious resources around this crumbling fortress, particularly Time resources. If they were able to obtain all these resources, they would be able to nurture a large batch of experts for the Giant God Race. However, the two of them were restricted by their cultivation and did not dare to use their Divine Sense to observe, as they were worried that they would attract the notice of the Locustmoth Mother. Even Xin Wuheng, who was a peak Rank Nine, a God Lord in his past life, and possessed powerful Soul Intent, had to be careful while observing.


    "What does Brother Zhao think?" Xin Wuheng sought Zhao Feng''s opinion.


    The two of them were both observing the battle between the mysterious fragment and the Moth Larvae army, but Xin Wuheng had a feeling that Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye could observe more than he could.


    Ancient God Sundermount and Ancient God Resplendence also looked to Zhao Feng. Ever since they had entered the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, Zhao Feng had again and again put on a dazzling performance, winning their trust.


    "I''m sure that, as long as we make any strange movements, we''ll alarm that mysterious fragment," Zhao Feng slowly said.


    His left eye had been observing the mysterious fragment this entire time.


    Ever since his God''s Spiritual Eye had reached the Quasi God Eye level, it rarely encountered something it could not see through, but this fragment was extremely hard to judge.


    "How did you reach that conclusion?" Xin Wuheng was shocked.


    He had no desire to provoke the mysterious fragment Time energy was the energy of one of the most incomprehensible of laws. It was currently understood that there was basically no effective method to counter Time energy. On the contrary, all the energies in the world were suppressed by Time energy.


    "This fragment is the pivot of this entire fortress. All the Time energy defending this ancient fortress is under its control," Zhao Feng flatly said.


    The three members of the Giant God Race all froze at these words.


    Simply put, any strange movement on their part would cause them to be attacked by the Time energy. But there was a vast sea of precious resources around the ancient fortress, with even treasures like the Moonlight Sky Bamboo a common sight. It would be no exaggeration to say that, if they could gather up the resources of only one sector of this fortress, they would obtain ten times more than all they had gathered before.


    "What do we do? If we don''t act now, the Ancient Soul Hall members will catch up...." Ancient God Sundermount and Ancient God Resplendence were all extremely unwilling.


    As he gazed at Zhao Feng''s calm and handsome face, Xin Wuheng suddenly smiled. "Brother Zhao, you probably have a plan."


    The two had known each other for a very long time, so he had a deep understanding of Zhao Feng. If there was truly no opportunity, Zhao Feng would have retreated long ago and would not have continued to waste time.


    "Only wait" Zhao Feng spat out two words and said no more.


    He quietly noted to himself that success depended on whether or not the Locustmoth Race could live up to its reputation. Bzzzz!


    In front of the fortress, the insect sea ball was beginning to swell as it began to push toward the mysterious fragment. From the situation, it appeared that the insect sea had the upper hand.


    "Heh, little insects, you''ve gotten stronger once again, but it''s useless." An ancient Spacetime-infused voice came from the ball of light


    It barely finished speaking when...


    Boom!


    An even more powerful surge of Time energy erupted from the fortress, circling around the fragment and causing the white light to soar into the heavens. A moment later, a ring of Time energy swept out over the surrounding several hundred li.


    Wherever this ring of Time energy passed, the world would fall silent as if all objects and beings had been frozen.


    "What!?"


    Zhao Feng and the three members of the Giant God Race also felt this wave of undefiable power. A few aftershocks from the battle had reached them.


    Suddenly, the four of them felt the blood in their bodies and even their thoughts freeze for a moment. The wind froze, as did their breathing and their hearts.


    Time Stop? This was the only thought on Zhao Feng''s mind.


    A Time Law? Just where did that fragment come from...? Xin Wuheng was also mentally stunned.


    In his past life, he had reached the God Lord level and comprehended a Law, so he naturally knew how terrifying they were. And among the Laws, the Time Laws reigned supreme! At this moment, this small fragment was able to use the forbidden energy of the Time Law - Time Stop!


    If time itself came to a stop, one would not be able to do anything, no matter how wondrous their techniques were.


    Bang! Crack!


    Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the dense and orderly insect sea ball. A few moments later, countless insect shells dropped to the ground, creating a miserable sea of insect corpses numbering in the millions.


    Upon seeing this sight, both Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng trembled. At this point, all of them had experienced the callous and tyrannical power of Time.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Millions of dead insects were falling to the ground at every moment, thickly carpeting the ground.


    Chirp! Keee!


    A sharp chirp came from the center of the insect sea ball, cold and resentful.


    "That''s the Locustmoth Mother!" Xin Wuheng called out


    Zhao Feng chuckled. "The mother insect is about the counterattack."


    Suddenly, black-gray fog began to rise from the surface of the insect sea ball. This fog was astounding, as the Time energy actually caused it to explosively expand.


    One hundred feet... one thousand feet... ten thousand feet... one hundred thousand feet!


    Ten seconds later, a heaven-supporting hive had appeared in the middle of the black-gray fog. As this enormous hive took shape within the fading fog, it exuded a boundless ancient aura.


    When Zhao Feng and the Giant God Race members saw this hive, they all mentally trembled, and they inexplicably wanted to get down on their knees and worship it. It was as if this massive hive that seemed to hold up the heavens was the source of everything.


    "Mm?" Zhao Feng discovered that the Origin energy in his God''s Spiritual Eye once more rippled as it sensed this energy. Hwoooo!


    A black wind emerged from the massive hive and began to sweep the nearly one hundred million insect corpses back into the hive. The insides of the hive then began to shift and wriggle.


    "Collecting for reuse?" Zhao Feng had a strange expression on his face.


    Xin Wuheng couldn''t help but sigh. "As expected of the mythical 10th ranked ancient race. It''s even capable of fighting back somewhat against the Time Laws."


    At this moment, the light around the fragment began to dim. Just now, in using the forbidden power of Time Stop for around ten seconds, it consumed an immense amount of energy.


    Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye noticed that the Time energy guarding the fortress apparently also slightly dimmed.


    "Your plan is...?" Xin Wuheng suddenly seemed to understand.


    Zhao Feng was probably planning to use the Moth Larvae army to exhaust the fragment, which was the same as weakening the Time energy protecting the entirety of the ancient fortress. The Time Stop in particular was extremely taxing on the shard.


    At this moment, tens of thousands of holes appeared in the massive hive, and they could vaguely make out a viscous liquid within them.


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    Silver-white insects, their bodies half-transparent, appeared. They opened their wings, which shone with a faint luster.


    "Eh!?" Zhao Feng was rather surprised. He could sense faint ripples of Time energy from these insects.


    Thwish! Thwish! Thwish! Thwish!


    These millions of Time Insects gathered into a sea of light and charged at the fortress.


    This time, the Locustmoth Mother''s target was seemingly no longer the mysterious fragment


    And it was still not over; the holes in the massive hive sent out countless armored insects with sharp limbs.


    Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!


    These armored insects burrowed into the ground, dividing into ten-some groups that attacked the fortress from underground.


    "The mother insect has changed strategies."


    Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng exchanged glances.


    The Locustmoth Mother apparently knew that the mysterious fragment was difficult to deal with, so it changed its target to the fortress. The ancient fortress was massive, offering many places to attack.


    "Crafty bug, your Moth Larvae Mother Hive is actually able to produce a new kind of insect that is resistant to Time energy?" The mysterious fragment finally showed some reaction.


    In the sky, those glowing insects, pulsing with Time energy, divided into several seas of light and began to attack the fortress. Meanwhile, the armored insects used their formidable defense and burrowing skills to attack from underground.


    They shared the same target of the ancient fortress. The mysterious fragment would expend even more power in order to maintain the defensive system of the ancient fortress.


    As for what followed, there was a long and exhausting battle. Above and below the ground, insects were constantly being turned into corpses, but that enormous hive would quickly produce more insects to provide an endless stream of reinforcements.


    Both sides snapped at each other, neither willing to admit defeat Two days later:


    "It''s about time. We can move out."


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng glanced at each other and nodded.


    At this moment, more than half of the mysterious fragment''s strength was taken up with restraining the Moth Larvae army. Now was the perfect time to make some profit.


    At the same time, several powerful energies appeared elsewhere near the ancient fortress.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Several figures stood there, staring at the distant fortress and that enormous hive that loomed over it This grandiose battle made all of them tremble in shock.


    "That hive is...!" Ancient God Destruction Flow''s face was stricken with shock.


    "A Moth Larvae Mother Hive." Only Yu Heng remained indifferent and calm. "From the scale, the mother insect is at least peak Rank Nine."


    The three half-step God Lords and Yu Heng used their Divine Senses to observe. They all observed the mysterious fragment in the ball of light.


    "What''s that?" Ancient God Jailsea and Ancient God Ice Jade were both rather interested.


    "Ancestral Artifact fragment!" For the first time, the unperturbed Yu Heng showed a hint of agitation and excitement


    Ancestral Artifact fragment? The three half-step God Lords were all dumbfounded. They had apparently heard the legends regarding this object


    "Starting now, our primary objective is the Ancestral Artifact fragment," Yu Heng firmly declared.


    "Then, the Ancient God Seal...?" Ancient God Jailsea weakly said.


    "If we can obtain this Ancestral Artifact fragment containing Time energy, we can easily set aside the Ancient God Seal for the time being."

 1384 I Know of You

    Chapter 1384 -1 Know of You


    "If we can obtain this Ancestral Artifact fragment containing Time energy, we can easily set aside the Ancient God Seal for the time being." Yu Heng''s face gleamed with excitement and agitation.


    The three half-step God Lords glanced at each other. Although they had their differences, they could understand Yu Heng. When they learned the Ancestral Artifact fragment was here, the three half-step God Lords were stunned, as they had never imagined that they would see such a legendary object.


    As everyone knew, in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, divine weapons were in the mainstream. In other words, divine artifacts. These artifacts ranged from substandard quality, low quality, average quality... all the way to supreme quality.


    Under normal circumstances, supreme quality was the highest quality one could achieve with a divine weapon. Not even the majority of Rank Nine Ancient Gods and half-step God Lords had supreme-quality divine artifacts.


    However, supreme-quality divine artifacts were not actually the highest quality divine artifacts in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The highest quality artifacts were the ultimate Ancestral Artifacts!


    However, Ancestral Artifacts were only a legend. They were so rare that they were mentioned alongside the Eight Great God Eyes and God Kings.


    Just like the Eight Great God Eyes, each Ancestral Artifact was unique. Ancestral Artifacts originated from the era of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and their powers and abilities were not something that the people of the present day could fathom. Experts of later generations could only see the marks they left in the books of myth and legend.


    They existed in the most dazzling era of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    When they existed, the number one race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races - the Ancient Race - dominated the ten thousand races, proudly gazing down upon the wildlands, and who would dare to challenge them?


    When they existed, the dazzling civilization of the Heaven''s Legacy Race had just come from outside the universe and was detested by the native ten thousand races.


    When they existed, the Light Race still leisurely traveled through time, transcending the bounds of the world.


    In their time of glory, nine ancient Golden Crows flew through the sky, burning the earth and inflicting calamity upon the ten thousand races.


    In their time of glory, the Destruction Dragons unleashed their Destruction Dragon Breath and destroyed civilization after civilization, dimension after dimension.


    In their time of glory, the Eight Great God Eyes had still not passed on!


    "Ancestral Artifacts! Dazzling existences from the era of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and now... is the era of the Eight Great God Eyes!" Ancient God Jailsea had a far-off look in his eyes.


    The current era of the Eight Great God Eyes was still powerful and flourishing and the Fan Universe was still so boundless, but the experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods still felt some yearning for the era of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. In that era, all the Ten Thousand Ancient Races still existed, not like now, where they were either extinct or in hiding.


    "The last Ancestral Artifact appeared how many hundreds of millions of years ago? I remember that it allowed the holder to become a God King, an existence that can stand on an equal level with the Eight Great God Eyes," Ancient God Ice Jade yearningly said.


    Every Ancestral Artifact was unique. In the era of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, only the extremely high-ranked races like the Ancient Race, the Ancient Shaman Race, or the Light Race had ever produced Ancestral Artifacts.


    Ancestral Artifacts were just as rare as the Eight Great God Eyes were now!


    "Ancestral Artifacts are not something that we can possess, but an Ancestral Artifact fragment could create a God Lord, one that can stand out among their peers," Yu Heng lightly said.


    Ancestral Artifacts were supreme existences like God Eyes, so one could not have delusions about them. However, in front of them was an Ancestral Artifact fragment If this happened in the outside world, it would have sent an earthquake through the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and caused countless factions and transcendent beings to battle over it


    "If I had an Ancestral Artifact fragment, I might be able to challenge a God Lord and even win...." Ancient God Destruction Flow and the other half-step God Lords were all tempted.


    Greed began to take root in their hearts. After all, with an Ancestral Artifact fragment, one was basically guaranteed to become a God Lord, and there was even a chance of becoming an outstanding God Lord. Once one possessed an Ancestral Artifact, one would be invincible against those of the same rank and could even defeat those of a higher level.


    "There''s no need to mention the value of the Ancestral Artifact fragment, even less so given that this is a Time Law Ancestral Artifact fragment We now need to talk about our plan." Yu Heng cut off their contemplations.


    "Plan?" The three half-step God Lords and the other two Ancient Gods all froze in surprise.


    With unprecedented treasure before them, the group suddenly became united. As for the Ancient God Seal and their original plan, they had completely forgotten about it


    They could naturally see that, if one or two half-step God Lords went in, the Ancestral Artifact fragment would give them a savage beating. They needed a plan to strategically obtain it


    "Haha, this is an incredibly rare opportunity." Yu Heng turned his gaze to the major battle between the Ancestral Artifact fragment and the Moth Larvae Mother Hive.


    The Locustmoth Mother was not strong on its own, but it specialized in reproduction, wave tactics, and long campaigns. That sky-soaring Moth Larvae Mother Hive was endlessly producing insects.


    At the start, the hive primarily produced two kinds of insects: the glowing time flies and the armored insects. These two kinds of insects were constantly dying, and the hive was constantly producing more.


    Now, the hive was producing a third kind of insect, a fat silver-black insect with a body like a barrel. This silver-black insect did not have the ability to fight It was meant purely for collecting and transporting.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    These silver-black insects gathered ore and plants from the surrounding area, swallowing them into their bellies, and then brought them back to the hive. The Locustmoth Mother, with the assistance of these resources, was able to almost infinitely produce more descendants. For this reason, no matter how many insects died, the hive could still produce more glowing flies and armored insects, like using moths to extinguish a fire.


    "Tsk, tsk! Hundreds of millions have died already."


    "This truly is the 10th ranked Locustmoth Race, skilled in wave tactics. Any race slightly lower in rankings would not be guaranteed to achieve such an effect."


    The three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall were all just watching from the sidelines. Yu Heng was also observing the battle. They were waiting for the right moment - for the Locustmoth Race to exhaust more of the Ancestral Artifact fragment''s Origin energy so they could move out and take it for themselves.


    Mm, the best result is for both sides to be badly wounded.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng and the three members of the Giant God Race began to move out. Their goal was not the Ancestral Artifact fragment, but the many precious resources around the ancient fortress.


    "Let''s go! Everyone, don''t stray too far from each other!" Xin Wuheng said.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    The team of four began to move toward the ancient fortress.


    "Damn flies!" The elderly Spacetime-infused voice was clearly disgusted and also rather exhausted.


    Bzzzz!


    Strands of Time energy flowed out of the ancient fortress and toward the group. Suddenly, Zhao Feng''s group suddenly became extremely slow as if they were moving through mud. Each movement was only made with extreme difficulty.


    "What powerful Time energy."


    The members of the Giant God Race circulated Divine Power to resist, but it was extremely taxing. It took far too much Divine Power to resist Time energy, and the effect wasn''t that good either.


    "Try my Chaos Origin Divine Power." Zhao Feng circulated his own Divine Power to resist the suppression of the Time energy.


    The Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique was extremely tolerant and could encompass my kinds of Intent, with Space Intent serving as the primary Intent Once cultivated to a certain level, the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique even had a chance to devour various kinds of energy.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng circulated Chaos Origin Divine Power, and he immediately felt his body lighten up. His efforts were clearly more effective than Ancient God Resplendence''s or Ancient God Sundermount''s.


    However, the two Ancient Gods of the Giant God Race would not give up.


    Boom! Boom!


    In dazzling flashes of white light, the two of them transformed into giants one thousand feet tall. After activating their bloodlines, both were clearly much more resistant to the Time energy and not at all inferior to Zhao Feng.


    As for Xin Wuheng, he didn''t become a giant His eyes were half-shut as his body thrummed with the faint energy ripples of a Law.


    Swish!


    Suddenly, his body lightened, and he could fly through the air and leave a blur behind him.


    As expected of a reincarnated God Lord. After comprehending a Law, it becomes so much easier to resist Time energy.... Zhao Feng said to himself.


    As Xin Wuheng''s cultivation rose, he regained more and more power from his last life, including his God Lord Intent and his comprehension of Laws.


    Xin Wuheng immediately became the fastest member of the group. He flew forward and snatched up a Moonlight Sky Bamboo. He was specifically picking the items with the highest value.


    Zhao Feng didn''t want to fall behind, so he suddenly exploded with Time Intent The surface of his Chaos Origin Divine Power suddenly began to glow with a mysterious light


    As expected, after fully fusing with his Time Intent, the Chaos Origin Divine Power''s strength was greatly increased, and he found it much easier to resist the Time energy.


    Zhao Feng could even sense that his Chaos Origin Divine Power was absorbing some of the outside world''s Time energy.


    This is the devouring trait of Chaos Origin Divine Power! Zhao Feng internally rejoiced. He remembered that Chaos Origin Divine Power would normally need to reach the fourth level before it developed this effect.


    Devouring was to absorb the energy of another so that one could strengthen one''s own Chaos Origin Divine Power, weakening one side while strengthening the other. One could easily see the advantage this would provide in battle.


    Once my Chaos Origin Divine Power reaches the fourth level, I''m one hundred percent certain that I can reach Rank Nine.


    Zhao Feng began to absorb Time energy. The surrounding Time energy was almost solid, and his Chaos Origin Divine Power that was at the peak of the third level could only absorb a little. This process also increased Zhao Feng''s understanding of Time Intent


    Of course, Zhao Feng did not forget to gather resources as well.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat, however, was the primary gathering force. A strange membrane of light had appeared on its body, greatly improving its ability to resist Time Intent


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Cat, truly divine. It seems capable of countering the abilities of other races...." Zhao Feng thoughtfully said.


    In terms of speed, the little thieving cat was on par with Xin Wuheng.


    Zhao Feng had also let out the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. The Destruction Dragon bloodline also had a certain level of resistance to Time energy.


    In terms of manpower and speed, Zhao Feng''s side naturally had the advantage.


    Fortunately for the Giant God Race group, Zhao Feng did not go too overboard. He specifically focused on taking resources that he did not already have. Treasures that he already owned like the Moonlight Sky Bamboo could be duplicated by his God''s Spiritual Eye, even if the cost was rather large. Thus, Zhao Feng wouldn''t try for any resources that he had even a little of, and the little thieving cat strictly followed this standard as well.


    On the surface, it seemed like the Giant God Race had a much richer harvest


    Xin Wuheng saw that Zhao Feng was being merciful and was grateful.


    Half a day later, Zhao Feng and the Giant God Race finished their harvest. The Giant God Race had managed to gather an immense amount of resources.


    "With this massive amount of resources, the chance that the Giant God Race can be revived has increased a little." The Giant God Race members all felt happy and content


    Zhao Feng calculated in his mind, as he was planning to use the vast amount of resources he had gathered to develop his own faction in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "Damn human and Giant God Race members, if not for this Locustmoth Mother''s attacks, you would have never succeeded!'' a furious voice came from the Ancestral Artifact fragment


    Zhao Feng and the others were dumbstruck, but they could not deny it If they did, the fragment might use yet another Time Stop, and all of them would be powerless to resist


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng''s shoulder and began to gesture.


    "Hmph! Heaven''s Legacy Race? I know of you, the crystallization of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s intelligence, able to communicate with all things in the world...." The Ancestral Artifact fragment immediately recognized the little thieving cat''s background.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat continued to gesture, apparently suggesting something.


    "What!?" the furious voice roared. "You want me to submit to your master!? How infuriating! I am a fragment of a majestic Ancestral Artifact! I don''t even pay much regard to God Lords, much less a mere Ancient God!"

 1385 Fourth Level of Chaos Origin

    Chapter 1385 - Fourth Level of Chaos Origin


    "I am a fragment of a majestic Ancestral Artifact! I don''t even pay much regard to God Lords, much less a mere Ancient God!" The Spacetime-infused voice was tinged with anger and disdain.


    Xin Wuheng and the others felt their minds reeling. This tiny fragment was actually an Ancestral Artifact fragment? It was no wonder it possessed such heaven-shaking power.


    Booom!


    The Time energy in the region they were located suddenly doubled in strength. Ancient God Sundermount and Ancient God Resplendence suddenly froze, cold sweat seeping from their foreheads. The invisible Time energy was contorting their bodies.


    "Ah!" In a bout of pain, the pair of them were forced to reassume their original forms. This would reduce the areas that could be attacked.


    How unique - upsetting the flow of time to twist physical space. An ordinary Ancient God would have already been torn to pieces. Zhao Feng mentally clicked his tongue.


    Compared to them though, he and the little thieving cat were subject to an even more intense Time distortion.


    The Spacetime Robe!


    A dark silver robe emerged on Zhao Feng''s body, suffused with a dazzling silver glow.


    The Spacetime Robe was a treasure for both Time and Space. It was forged by a Spacetime God King and had a strong resistance to Spacetime attacks. By combining it with his Chaos Origin Divine Power, Zhao Feng could more easily resist the Time distortion.


    "Eh? This Rank Eight Ancient God isn''t that simple. No wonder the Heaven''s Legacy Cat acknowledged him as its master...." The Ancestral Artifact fragment took a second glance at Zhao Feng.


    Meow!


    The membrane of light around the little thieving cat intensified, and with a composed expression, the little thieving cat waved a claw and shattered the Time distortion.


    "There''s no need for you to waste so many words. My mission is to guard my race''s forbidden ground. Even if one of your God Eye Era''s God Eyes descended, I still would not submit." The Ancestral Artifact fragment was still unmoved, but it took a few more glances at Zhao Feng.


    The little thieving cat appeared rather depressed. If it could get the Ancestral Artifact fragment to help its master, just how wonderful would that be? With the Ancestral Artifact fragment, its master would rapidly become one of the big shots in the Land of Gods.


    "Little thieving cat..." Zhao Feng chuckled as he petted the cat and soothed it


    The little thieving cat that so often struck true also had times where it missed. However, it could not be blamed. The Ancestral Artifact fragment had its own mission. When the fragment was still complete, the Eight Great God Eyes had not even been born yet


    Perhaps the Ancestral Artifact fragment had noticed that he was the Ninth God Eye, but even that was not enough to make it submit.


    "Even without the Ancestral Artifact fragment, I can still reach the summit Besides, this expedition was already very profitable." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    The little thieving cat nodded and ceased to communicate with the Ancestral Artifact fragment


    "Heaven''s Legacy Cat, in this dimension, you should worry about your own safety. I can already sense the energy of your mortal foe." The Ancestral Artifact fragment left behind these final words and proceeded to ignore the group.


    Even more strangely, the Time energy around the group suddenly vanished.


    For various reasons, the Ancestral Artifact fragment was no longer hostile to them. This was possibly related to Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat.


    In front of the crumbling fortress, the Ancestral Artifact fragment marshaled all its Time energy and began a counterattack against the Moth Larvae army. Without a need to worry about Zhao Feng and the others, the fragment became much stronger. Gradually, the Moth Larvae army''s offensive became rather strained.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng and the others, without the suppression of Time energy, rapidly gathered resources.


    If one divided this ancient fortress into east, west, south, and north, then Zhao Feng and the Giant God Race members were gathering resources from the eastern and southern quadrants. They did not touch the other two quadrants.


    "The Moth Larvae Mother Hive is primarily attacking from the west, and as for the north..." Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed with harsh light. The north was where the members of Ancient Soul Hall were hiding.


    Half a day ago, Zhao Feng was using his Eye of Heaven for scouting when he discovered the members of Ancient Soul Hall hidden in the northern quadrant. The three members of the Giant God Race were greatly concerned when they heard the news.


    "We don''t have to worry about them for now. Ancient Soul Hall probably got here some time ago, but we are no longer their primary goal," Zhao Feng calmly analyzed.


    There was no need to think about it too deeply. Ancient Soul Hall''s goal was undoubtedly the Ancestral Artifact fragment. In terms of value, the Ancestral Artifact fragment was definitely above the Ancient God Seal.


    "Since we''ve gathered a rich harvest, we should use the Ancient God Seal to return to the outside world," Ancient God Resplendence proposed.


    Her cultivation was currently the weakest She had only just broken into peak Rank Eight and did not want to take any risks.


    "Are we just going to hand the Ancestral Artifact fragment to Ancient Soul Hall? Even if we can''t get it, we can''t let our enemies do so." Ancient God Sundermount was more hawkish.


    Not long ago, he had advanced from peak Rank Eight to Rank Nine, which had increased his confidence.


    Xin Wuheng began to think. Both of them had reasonable arguments.


    Ancient God Resplendence''s proposal was safer and more conservative and did not require them to put their lives at risk, but Ancient God Sundermount''s proposal directly pointed at the danger. If Ancient Soul Hall was allowed to obtain the Ancestral Artifact fragment, the Giant God Race would never be able to overtake it On the other hand, if the Giant God Race got the Ancestral Artifact fragment, the situation would be firmly in their favor.


    "Let''s do this: Ancient God Resplendence, take half of the resources back with you and get in touch with Patriarch. It would be best if you can bring back reinforcements." Xin Wuheng quickly decided.


    In any case, Ancient God Resplendence had the weakest cultivation, so her effectiveness here was limited. The rest of the group would remain to observe the situation and look for any opportunities.


    Everyone agreed with this plan, as it was essentially the best of both worlds.


    Swish!


    Xin Wuheng took out the Ancient God Seal and used a Heaven''s Legacy secret art. Strange spatial ripples appeared on the Ancient God Seal as it began to link with the dimension.


    But suddenly...


    Bang! Bzzzz!


    An enormous spatial pressure came out of nowhere, and the Ancient God Seal immediately buzzed and dimmed.


    "What!?" Xin Wuheng grimaced and he fell into a pensive mood. What happened?


    Ancient God Sundermount and Ancient God Resplendence were also shocked. After all, the Ancient God Seal was the key with which one could enter and exit this dimension.


    "I''m afraid that there must be some great power on the level of a God Lord in the outside world who has laid down some ancient space-sealing array. I estimate that it''s not just one God Lord power, and they all have to be proficient in Heaven''s Legacy secret arts." Xin Wuheng softly sighed.


    "There''s no retreating for us...."


    The group exchanged glances, all of them with a solemn expression. It was no wonder the Ancient Soul Hall side had put aside seizing the Ancient God Seal for now.


    "What sort of strength is needed to forcefully break through this dimension?" Zhao Feng inquired.


    Xin Wuheng closed his eyes and began to think. After a while, he said, "With the help of the Ancient God Seal, a near-God- Lord level of strength is still required."


    And that was with the Ancient God Seal.


    "Then it''s not that bad. Since we can''t retreat, let''s fight!" Zhao Feng''s face was cold and determined.


    At this moment, on the western side of the ancient fortress, the Moth Larvae army was still engaged in an endless offensive while the Ancestral Artifact fragment was single-mindedly devoted to defense. Both of them were immersed in a long and grueling battle. On the northern side of the ancient fortress, the members of Ancient Soul Hall were hiding. Zhao Feng and the others had already scoured the eastern and southern sides of resources.


    "Since Ancient Soul Hall hasn''t moved out yet, we will also stay back for now."


    Zhao Feng vanished from his original position. The only thing left was the Spacetime Robe, shimmering with its dazzling aura.


    Inside the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng immediately adjusted the time and was able to achieve an astonishing 25 to 1 ratio.


    "As expected," Zhao Feng softly muttered. Earlier, when he used his Chaos Origin Divine Power to counteract the Time energy of the Ancestral Artifact fragment, he had absorbed some of the Time energy, which increased his understanding of Time.


    One had to understand that this Ancestral Artifact fragment contained a Time Law, and the Time Intent exuded was only the purest.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Closing his eyes, he brought up several Time resources before him. These Time resources were essentially all on the same level as the Moonlight Sky Bamboo. Afterward, he circulated his Chaos Origin Divine Power and began to comprehend and absorb the Time Intent within these resources.


    At the same time, he split his mind into two parts. One half continued to absorb and comprehend the Time resources. The other part tried to use Chaos Origin Divine Power to absorb the Time Essence contained within these resources.


    He had never tried the second before. This was because, only when the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique reached the fourth level would it gain its devouring trait. At least, that''s how it was normally.


    To Zhao Feng''s pleasant surprise, this attempt caused his ability to understand Time Intent to increase by leaps and bounds!


    On one hand, it was because he was absorbing the comprehending the pure Time Intent of the Ancestral Artifact fragment On the other hand, it was because of the devouring effect of his Chaos Origin Divine Power. The two working together meant that, in only two days, Zhao Feng managed to reach the peak of Level Six in Time Intent


    "My Time Intent has reached peak Level Six and my Chaos Origin Divine Power has also improved."


    Zhao Feng could vaguely sense that his Chaos Origin Divine Power was only half a step from level four. This caused the devouring effect of his Chaos Origin Divine Power to become increasingly obvious, and it was now fifty percent more effective than before.


    Time slowly passed. While twenty-five days had passed in the Spacetime Robe, only one day had passed in the outside world.


    At this time, the eighth Divine Stage in Zhao Feng''s body was brand-new and exuded a vast, grandiose, and all- encompassing Chaos Origin Divine Power. At the same time, the outline of the ninth Divine Stage had appeared above the eighth Divine Stage, and it was gradually turning more solid.


    Not only that, but a powerful stream of Divine Power was revolving around the nascent form of the ninth Divine Stage. This clear stream of Divine Power was the ninth stream of power Zhao Feng had preserved from the Nine Lotus Jade Life Flower.


    "The current me using the ninth clear stream of power has a one hundred percent chance of forming the ninth Divine Stage and becoming a Rank Nine Ancient God." Zhao Feng took in a deep breath.


    His incredible development was not merely because he had taken treasures like the Jade Nether Spirit Essence Stone and the Nine Lotus Jade Life Flower, but primarily because of the increase in the level of his Chaos Origin Divine Power. And now, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Power had already reached the threshold of the fourth level! Its power had now more than doubled! He barely needed any effort at all to advance to Rank Nine.


    But he did not do so.


    "After Rank Nine is the God Lord level. For Rank Nine, I have to store up more to ensure the sturdiest of foundations." Zhao Feng was seeing further into the future.


    Afterward, he once more began to temper his Chaos Origin Divine Power and comprehend Spacetime Intent.


    "Since ancient times, everyone has always said that Space and Time are one. My Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique''s primary Intent is Space, so what happens if I fuse in Time energy?" Zhao Feng had a smile on his face.


    When his Chaos Origin Divine Power reached the fourth level, his Space Intent had broken into Level Eight! This was because, when Zhao Feng was comprehending Time Intent, he used it as a basis to link it to Space Intent The cornerstone of this link was none other than the all-encompassing Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique.


    Level Eight Space Intent, peak Level Six Time Intent - this was the current level of Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Intent


    But Zhao Feng was stni not satisfied. He continued to fuse Space and Time Intent to refine his Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    At this point, the time ratio in the Spacetime Robe had reached an astonishing 30 to 1.


    In the outside world, Xin Wuheng and the others could vaguely sense the astonishing surges of Divine Power coming from the Spacetime Robe.


    "That Zhao Feng, could he be forming his ninth Divine Stage?" Ancient God Sundermount asked.


    "He only reached Rank Eight not too long ago, and now he''s making a charge at Rank Nine? Even if he succeeds, I worry that his foundation will be unsteady." Ancient God Resplendence lightly sighed.


    The two Ancient Gods were not optimistic about Zhao Feng''s chances of breaking through.

 1386 Killing a Rank Nine

    Chapter 1386 - Killing a Rank Nine


    Outside the Spacetime Robe, the little thieving cat stood guard, never leaving its vicinity. It cared little for the worries of the two Ancient Gods.


    "There''s no need for us to worry about Brother Zhao." Xin Wuheng opened his eyes, emerging from his cultivation.


    Without the limitation of not having resources, he was recovering more and more quickly the strength from his past life. A pulse of Law energy would occasionally rise from his body.


    Four days passed in the outside world. Within the Spacetime Robe, more than a hundred days had passed.


    Swish!


    The Spacetime Robe suddenly flashed, and then its wearer, a silver-haired youth, appeared, Spacetime ripples pulsing from his body.


    "Zhao Feng!" The others swiftly turned their eyes to Zhao Feng.


    The current Zhao Feng had an infinitely profound aura, as if he was a universe that could hold all things. His eyes glimmered with a dazzling silver glow, and staring into them made one feel as if time and space were in discord.


    He was completely unfathomable. Any Divine Power or Divine Sense that got close to Zhao Feng would be devoured by the strange energy around him.


    Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount glanced at each other, the shock on their faces plainly visible.


    "Brother Zhao, congratulations on your enormous progress." Only Xin Wuheng could somewhat gauge Zhao Feng''s power, and he had a rather complicated look in his eyes.


    "Brother Zhao, did you break into Rank Nine?" Ancient God Sundermount couldn''t help but ask.


    "Although I didn''t break through, there''s very little difference." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    In this round of cultivation, he had digested everything he gained and comprehended during his stay in the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, and his strength had soared.


    What does that mean? Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount had no idea what he was saying.


    Zhao Feng slowly raised a hand, and the Divine Power around his palm became covered in a dark silver and turbid glow. The moment this turbid Divine Power appeared, the Time energy in the surrounding area began to visibly and rapidly fade away.


    "What dreadful Divine Power!" The three members of the Giant God Race, Xin Wuheng included, couldn''t help but tremble.


    Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount even felt the Divine Power in their bodies becoming chaotic and unsettled. The strength of that Divine Power actually exceeded that of an average Rank Nine Ancient God!


    Chaos Origin Divine Power that has fused Space Intent and Time Intent has already far surpassed the power of the original technique. This dimension''s Time Intent suppression has an extremely small effect on me now.


    Zhao Feng put away the Divine Power and gave a satisfied smile.


    Swish!


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng''s body vanished, leaving behind a Spacetime ripple.


    What!? Xin Wuheng and the others were left wide-eyed and slack-jawed.


    A moment later, a youth with dreamy silver air appeared several li behind them.


    "Instant Movement!?"


    "He was able to use Instant Movement while under this dimension''s extreme suppression!?"


    The members of the Giant God Race were dumbstruck. Zhao Feng had given them too much of a shock. Not even him advancing into Rank Nine could have given them such a shock.


    One had to realize, even half-step God Lords could not use Instant Movement in this dimension.


    "Brother Zhao, congratulations on reaching a new level in Spacetime Intent," Xin Wuheng happily said. He understood what this display from Zhao Feng meant.


    My Space Intent has reached the first stage of Level Eight, my Time Intent is touching upon Leven Seven, and with the Spacetime Robe, I should essentially be without rival in this dimension, Zhao Feng said to himself.


    The hundred-some days of cultivation and the transcendent power of the fourth level of Chaos Origin had given his strength a major boost.


    Now, Zhao Feng''s understanding of Spacetime Intent had reached a bottleneck. Further comprehension of it would have no effect.


    As for cultivation? Zhao Feng was only half a step from entering Rank Nine. As long as he was willing, he could absorb that sealed stream of energy and easily break through. He didn''t even need that sealed energy to break through, but doing so without it would require more time.


    However, in order to build up more reserves, Zhao Feng decided to continue suppressing his cultivation.


    "It''s been four days. The insects are still attacking? And the Ancient Soul Race is still so patient and is still watching?" Zhao Feng began to observe the situation.


    He discovered that the Ancient Soul Race was extremely patient and apparently rather apprehensive.


    The Locustmoth Mother''s attacks were gradually slowing down, and the spawning rate of the insects was dropping. Although those fat silver-black insects were supplying an endless stream of resources to the Moth Larvae Mother Hive, the mother insect was still consuming her soul energy.


    "Heh, little insects, you''re going to lose again," the Spacetime-infused voice rang out again, tinged with victory, but also with exhaustion.


    After another two days, the Moth Larvae Mother Hive''s offensive gradually came to a halt as if it was resting.


    However, the silver-black insects continued to bring in supplies. The Locustmoth Mother had apparently not completely given up yet.


    But there was one thing that was certain; both sides were rather exhausted and needed to rest.


    On the northern side of the fortress:


    "The time is now. We can begin." Yu Heng opened his eyes. At some point, his cultivation had reached the peak of Rank Nine.


    Wonderful! The three half-step God Lords and the two other Ancient Gods rubbed their hands in excitement.


    If one looked carefully, one would realize that the weakest of this group was a Rank Nine Ancient God. While the Giant God Race members were getting stronger in this mysterious dimension, so were their enemies.


    "What do we do about the Giant God Race members?"


    "Those scoundrels, they probably also want the Ancestral Artifact fragment, or else why would they dare to stick around?" The Ancient Soul Hall members seethed with killing intent.


    "It truly is rather troublesome." Yu Heng frowned and sternly said, "Let''s take care of them first At least kill Xin Wuheng to deal them a heavy blow and prevent them from affecting our plan."


    Their primary plan was to take the Ancestral Artifact fragment. If the Giant God Race members were not nearby, Yu Heng might not have decided to act against them, but since the Giant God Race members were nearby, they naturally had to be taken care of.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The party of six, all of them at or above Rank Nine, began to work around the ancient fortress toward the Giant God Race party.


    On the eastern side of the ancient fortress:


    "Ancient Soul Hall... they''re coming." Zhao Feng had his hands behind his back, a calm expression on his face.


    Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount both grimaced in shock.


    In their clashes, it was mostly the Giant God Race that was on the back foot, and now, the three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall had joined together. Their side had nothing but elites, which made their strength even more difficult to estimate.


    "Your meaning?" Xin Wuheng saw that Zhao Feng was unperturbed and asked.


    "Let''s fight for the time being." Zhao Feng sternly said, "There is one person in this group that I can''t see through."


    "Okay." Xin Wuheng unexpectedly agreed without thinking.


    Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount, on the other hand, had faces filled with worry. This was three half-step God Lords they were talking about Lord Wuheng, how could you participate with this madman in his madness? They did not understand why Zhao Feng believed he could challenge three half-step God Lords and still be so calm about it


    "Don''t worry. Zhao Feng is primarily trying to probe them."


    When they received Xin Wuheng''s message, they calmed back down.


    At this moment, several powerful auras approached from the distance.


    "Hahaha... these Giant God Race bandits actually dare to fight us?"


    "That''s as it should be! In terms of speed, our Ancient Soul Hall easily wins. Even running is no use."


    The three half-step God Lords - Jailsea, Ice Jade, and Destruction Flow - were leading the charge. Behind the trio were the two Rank Nine Ancient Gods, one of which was the array master Ancient God Mu Yu. In the very back was Yu Heng.


    Yu Heng was tasked with bringing up the rear. His brow creased as he muttered, "When things go differently than expected, then something fishy is going on. According to the original plan, the members of the Giant God Race should have tried to avoid us."


    "He''s not coming forward." Zhao Feng clearly saw Yu Heng in the very back with his God''s Spiritual Eye. The only person he couldn''t see through in the Ancient Soul Hall party was that mysterious youth.


    "Kill!" The three half-step God Lords charged forward.


    "Thousand Berg Ice Domain!" Ancient God Ice Jade exploded with dazzling and chilling light, her eyes half-closing as she waved her jade hands through the air.


    As ice curled around her graceful body, one could faintly sense a ripple of an Ice Law. One second later, an area with a radius of one thousand li had been frozen solid by rivers of freezing ice!


    Under the powerful time suppression of this place, one thousand li was an unimaginably far distance.


    But it was still not over. The freezing of the land was only the prelude for this secret art.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The earth swayed as icebergs ten thousand feet tall rose from the earth, creating an iceberg domain.


    "Oh no!" The Giant God Race members were surrounded by these freezing icebergs. These icebergs seemed to be linked to each, creating a strange array that exuded a freezing chill through the world.


    Instantly, the three members of the Giant God Race felt their speed, bloodline, Divine Power, and all other types of strength being somewhat reduced. Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount were forced to activate their bloodlines and take the form of Giant Gods to prevent the chill from invading their bodies. Even then, their speed was only sixty to seventy percent of normal.


    "Heh, these people are caught inside my Thousand Berg Ice Domain! They''re trapped beasts now!" Ancient God Ice Jade giggled. Such a wide and open area was perfect for this large-scale domain secret art.


    Of the three half-step God Lords, she was the strongest, and her first action was to trap the Giant God Race members. She was responsible for surrounding and trapping, and then the other two half-step God Lords would attack.


    Thwish!


    The first to charge out from the Giant God Race side was Zhao Feng. He was wearing the Spacetime Robe and pulsed with Spacetime ripples as he charged at the three half-step God Lords.


    "This brat really isn''t afraid of death!" Ancient God Jailsea scoffed. The other half-step God Lords also faintly smiled.


    But they were quickly unable to smile.


    "Eh! How fast!"


    "What powerful Spacetime ripples! Even this dimension''s Time Intent can''t suppress him."


    Zhao Feng got even faster, and a few moments later, he had flown in between the three half-step God Lords and toward the two Rank Nine Ancient Gods behind them.


    Go! Ancient God Jailsea waved his hand as he spiritually howled. A massive crocodile Soul Beast lunged at Zhao Feng.


    "Hmph! No matter how fast you are, can you avoid a soul attack?" Ancient God Jailsea''s face was bursting with confidence.


    Soul attacks could usually ignore physical constraints. Moreover, the Soul Beast was raised by the Ancient Soul Race, and it could pursue an enemy by following their soul.


    Swish!


    The crocodile Soul Beast rushed through empty air, only striking a few Spacetime ripples. Zhao Feng had vanished.


    The three half-step God Lords all paled, all of them calling out in alarm, "Watch out!"


    But their warning had come too late.


    "Ah...!" A scream came from one of the Rank Nine Ancient Gods in the rear.


    A youth with dreamy silver hair had extended his hand, sending a twisted mass of dark silver and turbid Divine Power through his body.


    Bzzz!


    The twisted Chaos Origin energy began to devour his body and soul, bit by bit


    "Noooooo!" The Rank Nine Ancient God wanted to struggle, but all of the Divine Power in his body was in chaos and inexplicably fading away. His body and mind were all being slowed and pulled on by this invisible energy, depriving him of any ability to resist

 1387 The High Ground

    Chapter 1387 - The High Ground


    Under the eyes of three half-step God Lords, Zhao Feng vanished and pierced through the body of a Rank Nine Ancient God in a single move. This Rank Nine Ancient God was also a member of the Ancient Soul Race.


    Even if one managed to successfully ambush an ordinary Rank Nine Ancient God, one would at most heavily injure them, not kill them. But at this moment, his body and mind were both being pulled on and slowed by invisible Time energy. Terrifying Chaos Origin energy was devouring his body, soul energy, Divine Power, and all other kinds of energy, all of it vanishing into the chaos.


    Devour and absorb! The Chaos Origin Divine Power in Zhao Feng''s palm actually began to swell in strength instead of weakening. The terrifying power tore the Rank Nine Ancient God into tiny shreds.


    From the Instant Movement to the sneak attack, not even two seconds had passed.


    "Junior..." The three half-step God Lords were practically dumbfounded, and then they were infuriated and even more bursting with killing intent Zhao Feng had leisurely killed a Rank Nine Ancient God right under their eyes, humiliating all three of them.


    "Darkwater Jail Dragon!" Ancient God Jailsea slowly extended an arm.


    Bzzzz!


    This arm bizarrely transformed into black water, and then this water began to swell until it transformed into a Darkwater Jail Dragon that was ten thousand feet long.


    Roooooar!


    The Darkwater Jail Dragon''s roar shook the earth, causing souls to tremble in shock as an invisible hurricane swept out.


    "Oh no!" Xin Wuheng immediately paled. "A Level Nine Water Intent secret art, and it''s also fused with a soul attack of the Ancient Soul Race!"


    This powerful secret art of a half-step God Lord was enough to instantly kill an average Rank Nine.


    He was just about to intervene when Ancient God Destruction Flow suddenly stopped him.


    "Your opponent is me!" Ancient God Destruction Flow''s hands began to spin, and two pitch-black rivers of Destruction emerged from his left and right arms.


    This Ancient God Destruction Flow was actually skilled in Destruction Intent As a half-step God Lord, he had reached Level Nine in Destruction Intent, and he was slightly stronger than Ancient God Jailsea.


    Whoosh! Boom! Boom!


    The two Destructive rivers seemed frenzied, but they coiled around Xin Wuheng like bizarre and nimble black snakes.


    Although Xin Wuheng was not afraid of Ancient God Destruction Flow, he would definitely be held down for a time and be unable to worry about Zhao Feng.


    On the other side:


    "Level Nine Water Intent, and it''s also fused with the bloodline soul art of the Ancient Soul Race...." Zhao Feng sensed a danger approaching.


    However, he remained confident and easygoing. After killing the Rank Nine Ancient God, he even remembered to take the dropped interspatial dimension tool.


    Roooooar!


    The intimidating Darkwater Jail Dragon charged forward and swallowed up his body.


    "Heh." A soft chuckle came from the head of the Darkwater Jail Dragon, followed by a subtle Spacetime ripple.


    "Damn..." Ancient God Jailsea had a chilling expression, but he did not give up.


    This Darkwater Jail Dragon had been created from his arm, and he could control it as if it was an extension of his body.


    Clap! Boom!


    The Darkwater Jail Dragon suddenly raised its massive tail and swept it at Zhao Feng overhead.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng vanished once more, causing the Darkwater Jail Dragon to miss again.


    "It seems like one Darkwater Jail Dragon isn''t enough to deal with him. We have to press in from more sides." Ancient God Jailsea quickly calmed back down.


    He had also matured after entering the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. After being defeated time and time again, he did not dare to underestimate his foe.


    "Jail Dragon''s Claw!" With a solemn expression, Ancient God Jailsea turned his other arm into transparent black water. This time, it took the shape of a Jail Dragon Claw that was several thousand feet long.


    Whoosh!


    The Jail Dragon Claw attacked Zhao Feng from the back while the Darkwater Jail Dragon attacked Zhao Feng from the front "Zhao Feng''s in trouble...!" Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount couldn''t help but be worried.


    However, they needed to deal with the attacks of the other Rank Nine Ancient God, Ancient God Mu Yu.


    Not only that, but Ancient God Ice Jade was still maintaining the Thousand Berg Ice Domain, freezing the area within a radius of one thousand li.


    Hwooooom!


    The icebergs were slowly closing in, causing the freezing energy to soar.


    As time passed, they would have less and less space to fight. The two weaker Ancient Gods of the Giant God Race were both severely affected by this powerful cold energy, and their bloodlines, Divine Power, and strength were all weakened.


    Under Ancient God Ice Jade''s control, the Thousand Berg Ice Domain primarily affected her enemies. This meant that, even though the two Ancient Gods of the Giant God Race were working together, they were still being suppressed by Ancient God Mu Yu. However, Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng didn''t appear to be that affected by this cold energy.


    "I guess this is all a half-step God Lord amounts to." A playful and amused voice came from a corner of the battlefield.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng suddenly left a blur in the air as his speed increased without warning.


    Bang! Bang!


    The Darkwater Jail Dragon and Jail Dragon Claw both missed, instead pulverizing two nearby icebergs.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng did not use Instant Movement His movement techniques and speed alone were enough to easily dodge these attacks.


    As for the Thousand Berg Ice Domain''s cold energy, it essentially had no effect on him. He had the protection of the Spacetime Robe as well as the devouring trait of the Chaos Origin Divine Power, so any cold energy that got close to him vanished like a rock into the ocean.


    "The next objective is to kill you." Floating in the air, Zhao Feng pointed a finger at Ancient God Mu Yu.


    "Ah!" Ancient God Mu Yu was in the middle of battling the two Ancient Gods of the Giant God Race. When he heard these words, he immediately broke into a cold sweat, his face freezing. He clearly saw how his fellow Rank Nine Ancient God died.


    "Junior, don''t get cocky!" Ancient God Ice Jade, who was in the middle of slowly retracting the Thousand Berg Ice Domain, immediately put on a chilly expression.


    "Truly too conceited...!" Ancient God Jailsea was both angered and shocked. Zhao Feng boldly and arrogantly declared that he was going to kill another member on their side.


    Earlier, Zhao Feng killed a Rank Nine Ancient God right under the eyes of three half-step God Lords. His success back then was because none of them were expecting a sneak attack. But now, Zhao Feng loudly declared that his next target was the other Rank Nine Ancient God, Ancient God Mu Yu.


    Not good! Not even a half-step God Lord can deal with this person.... Ancient God Mu Yu''s mind was fraught with worry. Even though he had the advantage, he was in no mood to keep fighting with the two Ancient Gods of the Giant God Race.


    "With us here, you cannot succeed." Ice Jade and Jailsea exchanged glances, their expressions harsh. If they allowed Zhao Feng to succeed again and lost another Rank Nine, would they have any dignity left?


    "If I want to kill him, none of you will be able to stop me," Zhao Feng calmly said.


    "Impossible!" Ancient God Jailsea ordered his Darkwater Jail Dragon to protect Ancient God Mu Yu. Meanwhile, the Jail Dragon Claw continued to doggedly pursue Zhao Feng.


    "Ice Jade Lotus Platform!" Ancient God Ice Jade waved a slender hand, and a dazzling lotus platform of ice appeared under Ancient God Mu Yu''s feet


    Although she was still busy controlling the Thousand Berg Ice Domain, she could still provide a certain level of help. Moreover, once she retracted the Thousand Berg Ice Domain into the dreadful Divine Kingdom of Ice, her foes would find it nigh impossible to escape.


    Very quickly, with the Ice Jade Lotus Platform and Darkwater Jail Dragon, Ancient God Mu Yu calmed down a great deal. "Hahaha...!" Zhao Feng loudly laughed as intense Spacetime ripples appeared on his body.


    Buzz! Swish!


    He vanished, and his Instant Movement this time took him rather far away.


    "Mm?" Ancient God Ice Jade was surprised. At this moment, she sensed a Spacetime ripple near Ancient God Jailsea. "Watch out!" Ancient God Ice Jade grimaced as she called out in warning.


    But Ancient God Jailsea was empty-handed, as his arms were off battling in the forms of the Darkwater Jail Dragon and Jail Dragon Claw. This greatly weakened the defensive capabilities of his original body.


    Upon hearing Ancient God Ice Jade''s warning, he immediately sensed a furtive Spacetime ripple and called out in dismay.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" A dark silver, turbid fist appeared out of a bizarre and twisted clump of Spacetime and exploded against his body.


    This fist was simply unavoidable because this fist was boosted to incredible speeds by Time Intent, so fast that Ancient God Jailsea even felt like space and time were in discord.


    "We took the bait! His target was actually Ancient God Jailsea!" Ancient God Ice Jade clenched her silver teeth. Ancient God Jailsea was in a weakened state, and he was in great peril against this dreadful attack.


    Kaboom!


    Ancient God Jailsea was blown backward by this fist, a thin trail of blood ejecting from his mouth.


    "A half-step God Lord who has comprehended a Level Nine Intent truly is impressive," Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    Suddenly, ripples of dark water appeared on Ancient God Jailsea''s body, greatly dampening the power of Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin attack. Given that this was a half-step God Lord with the bloodline of the Ancient Soul Race, the fist was only able to injure him, not give him a lethal blow.


    Meooow!


    The nimble figure of a cat appeared behind Ancient God Jailsea, slashing a dagger covered in silver runes at him.


    There was another ambush!? Ancient God Ice Jade''s graceful body trembled, and her heart chilled. This kid''s schemes were far too terrifying. On the surface, Zhao Feng said that he was going to kill Ancient God Mu Yu, but in reality, he was aiming for Ancient God Jailsea.


    Swoosh!


    The silver dagger stabbed into Ancient God Jailsea''s watery body.


    "Ugh...!" Even when transformed into dark water, Ancient God Jailsea still groaned, his body stiffening and his face turning white.


    "The Celestial Pendant Secret Dagger!" For the first time, Yu Heng finally spoke.


    The little thieving cat had obtained the Celestial Pendant Secret Dagger from the treasury of Heavenly Demon Hall. This enraged the upper echelon of Heavenly Demon Hall. The dagger was built according to the secret methods of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and several unique ingredients were used in its construction. It was the equivalent of a supreme-quality divine artifact.


    Yu Heng remained in the rear and was not in the range of the Thousand Berg Ice Domain. It was like he never had any intention of intervening. Or perhaps it was because he had some sort of fear.


    "Spatial Movement!" Zhao Feng focused his left eye, immediately moving the little thieving cat away after it succeeded in its sneak attack.


    At this moment:


    Boom! Bang!


    Two massive icebergs within the Thousand Berg Ice Domain suddenly shot up from below Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat. This attack was on the same level as a peak Rank Nine.


    After retracting the Thousand Berg Ice Domain to a certain level, Ancient God Ice Jade could divide her attention into launching attacks. Although Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat had dodged these two icebergs, she succeeded in interrupting their assault on Ancient God Jailsea.


    "Go!" Ancient God Ice Jade lightly waved her hand again.


    Swish!


    A second Ice Jade Lotus Platform appeared beneath Ancient God Jailsea, providing for him a layer of defense. After all, a half-step God Lord could not be lost.


    "Collect!" Ancient God Jailsea was also forced to take back his Jail Dragon Claw, gaining back an arm and restoring some of his ability to defend himself.


    The sudden attack of Zhao Feng and the ambush of the little thieving cat had left him rather badly wounded, and he still felt some lingering fear.


    "Heh." After heavily injuring Ancient God Jailsea, Zhao Feng softly smiled, acting as if his scheme had succeeded.


    Not good! Ancient God Ice Jade remembered something else.


    A moment later, another stunning development occurred.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" The youth with dreamy silver hair appeared behind Ancient God Mu Yu.


    Kacrack!


    The Ice Jade Lotus Platform around Ancient God Mu Yu instantly crumbled. Ancient God Ice Jade had put more effort into defending Ancient God Jailsea, which had weakened the defenses around Ancient God Mu Yu.


    Kabooom!


    Zhao Feng''s dark silver fist pierced through the Ice Jade Lotus Platform, and by devouring a part of the cold energy, it actually got even stronger.


    "No...!" Ancient God Mu Yu cried out in fear as he used everything he had to try and protect his life.


    Alas, he was already dealing with Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount, so he was still in dire straits.


    And there was something even more terrifying; he was suddenly engulfed in a ripple of Spacetime energy. His body immediately began to move in slow motion.


    His speed had been slowed by several dozen times! Even though he had mentally made a response to turn his body into an Ancient Soul Body, his body was reacting far too slowly.


    Time Intent... This was the last thought in Ancient God Mu Yu''s mind before he died. Ice Jade and Jailsea were too late to prevent his death.


    The two of them had gloomy expressions, their hearts cold. They had again and again fallen for Zhao Feng''s schemes - had been led along by their noses. At the start, they believed that Zhao Feng''s target was Ancient God Mu Yu, little expecting for him to be luring Ancient God Jailsea into a trap. Right when Ancient God Jailsea was out of danger, Zhao Feng turned his spear around back at Mu Yu. In the end, he had turned it back on his original target.


    "Ah!" Ancient God Mu Yu''s soul gave a miserable scream, and then the body and soul of this array master were destroyed by Zhao Feng and the two Ancient Gods of the Giant God Race.


    "I said before... if I want to kill him, none of you will be able to stop me," Zhao Feng nonchalantly said as he took Ancient God Mu Yu''s interspatial dimension, adding on to his spoils.


    The dimension they were in had many treasures. The Ancient Soul Race''s harvest should not have been much worse than the Giant God Race''s.


    "You...!" Ancient God Ice Jade was so furious that she was trembling. Meanwhile, Ancient God Jailsea was actually feeling rather fortunate.


    "Brother Zhao! Good job!" Xin Wuheng laughed.


    He had still not taken the form of a Giant God, but he was able to battle evenly with Ancient God Destruction Flow.


    As Xin Wuheng battled, his body rippled with the energy of a Law, and his attacks would occasionally explode with the Intent of a God Lord. One could say that his cultivation had already reached the half-step God Lord level. If he chose to take his Giant God form, he might easily be able to crush Ancient God Destruction Flow.


    "Another one dead? The two of you... just how did you mess it up!?" Ancient God Destruction Flow almost exploded into a stream of profanity.


    He alone was holding off Xin Wuheng''s attacks while the other two half-step God Lords were just dealing with two Rank Eights and a Rank Nine. It should have been an easy task. But after so much time had passed, all that happened was the two Rank Nine Ancient Gods on their side being killed.


    "You three idiots! This person already has the ''high ground'' when it comes to speed, yet you decided to fight with him and lost two Rank Nines." In the rear, Yu Heng finally couldn''t help but curse.


    As a spectator, he had a much clearer grasp of the situation. However, everything happened too quickly and Zhao Feng''s schemes were too wily, so he had no time to put a stop to them. Now, he no longer had time to rebuke these three half-step God Lords; his own problem was coming.


    Bzzz! Bzzz!


    The sound of the insect sea army came from behind Yu Heng.


    "It''s that energy... I can''t believe it... my Locustmoth Race''s greatest enemy! I''ll tear your corpse into shreds...!" The voice of the Locustmoth Mother, suffused with a bone-chilling hatred, resonated deep into the soul.


    Its target was none other than Yu Heng!


    A few moments later, hundreds of millions of Moth Larvae engulfed the world, surging toward Yu Heng in a vast sea of insects.

 1388 Suppressing the Ten Thousand Races

    Chapter 1388 - Suppressing the Ten Thousand Races Inside the Thousand Berg Ice Domain:


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three half-step God Lords stood together with Ancient God Ice Jade at their center, their expressions grave.


    Zhao Feng had used his advantage in speed to kill two Rank Nine Ancient Gods and even heavily wound a half-step God Lord. This had given them an enormous psychological blow and made them very wary.


    They could not afford any more losses. Fortunately for them, with the three half-step God Lords working together, not even someone with double Zhao Feng''s speed could find a weakness.


    But at this time, the situation suddenly changed.


    Bzzzz! Hummm!


    A vast Moth Larvae army surged out from behind Yu Heng, devouring the earth in their madness and hatred.


    Everyone felt their hearts chill at this sight Once the Locustmoth Race truly began to use its wave tactics, even an existence of a higher cultivation could only run. It was impossible to directly confront this threat.


    "What''s going on!?" Zhao Feng and the three members of the Giant God Race were all dumbfounded.


    The three half-step God Lords of the Ancient Soul Race grimaced even more. Their situation was now even worse; in front of them were the Giant God Race members while behind them was the Moth Larvae army.


    "What do we do?" the three of them asked Yu Heng, who was responsible for holding the rear.


    When they started the plan, Yu Heng demanded that he be placed in the rear, and he had kept his energy extremely restrained and did not seem intent on joining in. They suspected that Yu Heng was the one who had lured over the Locustmoth Race.


    At this moment, at the very front lines of the insect sea, Yu Heng stood alone and calmly said, "The insect races really do have an excellent sense of smell...."


    It was as if the reaction of these insects was completely within his expectations.


    "Join back up with me for now." Yu Heng finally gave his order to the three half-step God Lords.


    The three half-step God Lords were taken aback by this order.


    "This... join up?"


    "Are we going to fight with the Locustmoth Race? That isn''t wise."


    The three of them hesitated, but they did not defy the order. Before entering the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, they had received explicit orders to listen to everything the mysterious youth said.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three half-step God Lords swiftly withdrew to Yu Heng''s side.


    Zhao Feng''s group couldn''t stop them. Besides, they were also anxious to get away from the Moth Larvae army. Once they were caught in that insect sea, the consequences would be unthinkable.


    "These scoundrels, what''s their plan? They wanted to kill us, but now they''ve given up." The members of the Giant God Race were all confused.


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng glanced at each other and quickly made a decision.


    "Let''s watch for now. The moment something starts to look fishy, I''ll take all of you into the Spacetime Robe and then escape," Zhao Feng sternly said.


    The only person he couldn''t see through on the Ancient Soul Race''s side was that Yu Heng. Alas, this person wasn''t willing to take part in the previous battle.


    "Is that youth a member of the Ancient Soul Race?" Zhao Feng suddenly asked.


    "No!" Xin Wuheng and the others denied without a second thought


    The members of the Giant God Race were extremely sensitive to the bloodline energies of their mortal foes, the Ancient Soul Race.


    Zhao Feng had long ago noticed that the mysterious youth''s bloodline energy was very veiled and unfathomable.


    At this moment, Yu Heng joined up with the three half-step God Lords.


    The tide of insects rushed over, but they were easily destroyed by the three half-step God Lords. These insects were no different from ants in front of a half-step God Lord.


    The lethality of the Locustmoth Race''s wave tactics was secondary; what was terrifying was how it exhausted one''s energy.


    "With our strength, if we work together, it won''t be that difficult to defeat the Locustmoth Mother. It''s just that it will take quite a large amount of energy and doesn''t seem worth it," Ancient God Destruction Flow voiced his doubts.


    Yu Heng stood in the center and calmly ordered, "Once I drive off the insects, take the Ancestral Artifact fragment"


    What? The three half-step God Lords were stunned. Drive off the insects? Take the Ancestral Artifact fragment? They didn''t quite understand what Yu Heng meant.


    "Then what if we''re exhausted after defeating the insects and the members of the Giant God Race attack us?" Ancient God Ice Jade was somewhat dissatisfied.


    This Yu Heng was acting too rashly. Did he not realize what sort of price would have to be paid to defeat the insects?


    "First, I alone will be enough. Second, they wouldn''t dare." Yu Heng gradually began to show signs of impatience.


    You alone? The three half-step God Lords couldn''t help but tremble in shock, but then they found the idea laughable.


    "The only flaw is that kid. To think he would have the advantage in speed in this Divine Kingdom Dimension...." Yu Heng muttered.


    An advantage in speed was truly rather troublesome. According to his original plan, when his group attacked, the Giant God Race party was certain to retreat. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to attempt to probe his strength. This meant that he was unable to keep his distance from the ancient fortress, and once his energy leaked out, the insects would sense it. In the end, the Locustmoth Mother smelled it, and its reaction was much more frightening than imagined.


    Instantly, the Ancient Soul Race group was being attacked from both sides. In this situation, his only option was to show some of his strength.


    "All of you should rest" Yu Heng slightly raised a hand, and a strange and ancient energy began to rise from his body. As this happened, ancient patterns appeared on his skin, like fish scales and also like tortoise skin.


    "It''s that energy! Kill! Destroying my home, killing my mother and grandmother, I swore an oath to tear you to pieces...!" The mother insect''s icy voice rang out from the massive hive behind the insect sea army.


    More and more insects surged over. The massive hive even gave up on attacking the ancient fortress to attack Yu Heng.


    This gave the three half-step God Lords a massive fright The attack of these insects was simply too insane!


    "Can a bunch of ants stop me?" A cold smile appeared on Yu Heng''s handsome face.


    Then, the ancient patterns on his body suddenly vanished.


    At the same time:


    "That energy restrained itself again...." the Ancestral Artifact fragment muttered to itself. This energy made the insects go crazy, and then it was swiftly restrained.


    Afterward, Yu Heng proudly stood on the ground, slowly opening his arms. His body began to exude an ancient energy that seemed as deep as an abyss. This ancient energy was suffused with an extremely intense and tyrannical aura that seemed to view both past and present with disdain.


    Boom! Swish!


    This tyrannical energy soared into the sky, accompanied by gold and silver streams of energy. It caused the entire dimension to faintly tremble.


    Even at their distance, Zhao Feng and the others could still sense that domineering bloodline energy. This bloodline energy, circled by gold and silver, began to draw out the image of a gigantic ancient god-devil.


    Bzzzz!


    The image of the ancient god-devil attached to Yu Heng and seemed to be growing more and more real. Yu Heng''s face, body, and hair began to visibly transform, becoming more and more like the ancient god-devil.


    In the blink of an eye, Yu Heng''s body rose to one hundred feet, and his entire body was crisscrossed by gold and silver light He exuded an ancient energy that seemed to view the entire world with scorn and disdain.


    "What''s going on!?" The three half-step God Lords began to find breathing difficult, their bodies and bloodlines uncontrollably trembling. At this moment, they found it difficult to even think about exerting their strength.


    The Giant God Race members in the distance were alarmed and afraid. Their bloodlines had inexplicably begun to yield and tremble in fear.


    "Just what bloodline is this?" Zhao Feng felt like even his own body and bloodline were breaking free of his control. Even his Chaos Origin Divine Power was starting to go out of control.


    Not only his body, but even his God''s Spiritual Eye was also beginning to tremble. The Origin center of his God''s Spiritual Eye, the dreamy silver Origin energy, was constantly shaking in agitation.


    "Why...?" Zhao Feng covered his head with his hand as he was overcome by a dizziness that reached all the way to his soul.


    A fearful atmosphere began to spread through the earth. The innumerable Moth Larvae began to tremble and drop to the ground as they approached Yu Heng.


    Boom! Bang!


    The massive hive floating in the sky smashed into the ground in a cloud of dust.


    "How could this be...!?" The fearful voice of the Locustmoth Mother rang out. Even the 10th ranked Locustmoth Race still trembled in fear before this energy.


    At the same moment, in front of the crumbling fortress, the Ancestral Artifact fragment called in fear and shock, "Impossible! This can''t be! This is the God Eye Era! Why would that appear!?"


    "Suppress the Ten Thousand Races!" Yu Heng finished transforming into the ancient god-devil, and he exploded with a gold and silver radiance while he slowly spoke in a heaven-shaking voice.


    At this moment, the earth exploded as all creatures born from bloodlines shrieked in terror.


    Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!


    Hundreds of millions of insects exploded and died in the face of this bloodline energy that could suppress all ten thousand races.


    "Aaaaaaah...!" Those Yao Gods hidden underground nearby were also not spared. In the best case, they bled from their orifices, and in the worst case, they simply exploded and died.


    Boom!


    The dimension itself trembled, and it seemed like a wave of blood was sweeping through it Ugh! Ah!


    Even Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount, who were rather far away, couldn''t help but groan and vomit blood. And these were members of the Giant God Race, with extremely formidable bloodlines and physical constitutions, and both of them were Ancient Gods.


    "Suppress the Ten Thousand Races? What sort of race could possess such power...?" Zhao Feng''s blood was seething, and he almost vomited blood himself. Fortunately, his Chaos Origin Divine Power was sturdy and his Divine Stages stable, and he had the protection of the Spacetime Robe as well.


    Only the three half-step God Lords at Yu Heng''s side were free from the effects of the "Suppress the Ten Thousand Races."


    "Too terrifying!" The Ò²ree half-step God Lords took in cold breaths of air. The bloodlines in their body were uncontrollably trembling.


    Around them, in only a few seconds, only several hundred million insects were left, and millions were dying every second.


    In order to resist the suppression of such a bloodline, one had to have a high bloodline and high cultivation. These ordinary Moth Larvae only had the cultivation of an ordinary True God; the suppression of the energy alone was enough to make them explode.


    "Scram!" Yu Heng slowly extended a hand, which radiated terrifying divine gold-silver light that pierced through space and shot straight at the Moth Larvae Mother Hive.


    At this moment, his attack actually tore through the Time Intent of this dimension and all the other restrictions, traveling several thousand li.


    "Aaaah!" the Locustmoth Mother shrieked in fear. The massive hive instantly vanished, turning into hundreds of millions of insects that scattered in every direction.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Ten-some seconds later, all the insects had retreated. All that was left was a ground thick with bug carcasses.


    The entire world was silent. At this moment, only one person existed in this world.


    Proudly gazing upon the Ancient, I reign supreme! Yu Heng''s every movement contained this thought, a tyrannical and domineering nature that could shatter everything in the world.


    At this moment, he did not have the body of a human, or the body of a True God or Ancient God - his body was that of an Ancient God-Devil.


    "Ancestral Artifact fragment, you''ve already consumed too much of your Law Origin. You probably don''t have the strength to fight me." Yu Heng slowly began to walk toward the ancient fortress.


    In front of the ancient fortress, the Ancestral Artifact fragment trembled in shock, but it did not submit. It muttered, "The Ancient Race Duplication Plan, is it?"

 1389 Ancient Race Duplication

    Chapter 1389 - Ancient Race Duplication


    The Ancestral Artifact fragment trembled in shock, but it did not submit. It muttered, "The Ancient Race Duplication Plan, is it?"


    ¶£he Ancient Race Duplication Plan!?"


    The members of both Ancient Soul Hall and the Giant God Race were stunned.


    Of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, the number one race was the Ancient Race, which had suppressed the ten thousand races and dominated the wildlands. The intelligent Heaven''s Legacy Race had a plan to duplicate this bloodline so that they could control the supreme innate God-Devil bloodline of the Ancient Race. This plan was the Ancient Race Duplication Plan.


    "He''s a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!?" The three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall were in a stunned daze for a few moments, and then they suddenly had a conjecture as to Yu Heng''s identity.


    The Ancient Race Duplication Plan was a plan of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and on their journey, Yu Heng was completely confident when it came to disarming the traps of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Moreover, Yu Heng was familiar with this dimension and even had a map.


    "He''s actually a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!?" Ancient God Jailsea''s face was stricken with shock, and his heart thumped in fear.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was a mythical race in the top five of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was not powerful when it came to fighting, inferior even to the Ancient Soul Race in this aspect. But there was a reason the Heaven''s Legacy Race occupied rank three.


    All the members of Ancient Soul Hall gazed at Yu Heng with different eyes. They finally understood why the God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall had so much trust in God Lord Stellar Aspect''s plans. This was because both Yu Heng and God Lord Stellar Aspect were members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and in the face of the 3rd ranked Heaven''s Legacy Race, the strength of the Ancient Soul Race was insignificant.


    "The Ancient Race Duplication Plan of the Heaven''s Legacy Race succeeded?" Xin Wuheng''s gaze was dark as he doubtfully muttered.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race had long ago vanished without a trace, and it had been many, many years since the Ancient Race Duplication Plan was started. Not even those God Lord experts that had survived from the Ancient Era were sure if this plan had succeeded or not.


    "Correct! This is the result of my race''s Ancient Race Duplication Plan!" Yu Heng stared at the Ancestral Artifact fragment and proudly said.


    At this moment, Yu Heng admitted to his identity as a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and also admitted to the origin of the tyrannical bloodline energy in his body.


    Everyone stared at Yu Heng, their eyes saturated with shock.


    "You are not a true member of the Ancient Race," the Ancestral Artifact fragment carefully examined Yu Heng and concluded.


    "What?" Ancient God Sundermount, Ancient God Jailsea, and all the others were stunned.


    Yu Heng had just unleashed an energy that shook the heavens and intimidated all ten thousand races, but the Ancestral Artifact fragment actually said that Yu Heng was not a true member of the Ancient Race?


    "Hmph! Work together and take the Ancestral Artifact fragment!" Yu Heng coldly snorted.


    The Ancient Race bloodline in his body truly was a semi-finished product.


    "Yes!" The three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall immediately agreed and charged forward.


    Although they believed in Yu Heng''s strength, the Ancestral Artifact fragment was no weakling.


    The three of them of them attacked from three separate angles. Meanwhile, Yu Heng attacked the Ancestral Artifact fragment from the front


    "What do we do?" Ancient God Resplendence was in somewhat of a panic.


    There were currently three parties left on the field: Ancient Soul Hall, the Ancestral Artifact fragment, and the Giant God Race team. Of these, their team was the weakest. Meanwhile, their enemies - the team from Ancient Soul Hall - was the strongest.


    "Observe the situation and watch for any changes!" Xin Wuheng whispered.


    Although the situation was getting dangerous, they couldn''t just leave. The Giant God Race had entered this dimension so that they could gather as many resources as possible for the rapid ascension of their race. However, they hadn''t expected for Ancient Soul Hall to also send in people, who had presumably reaped a significant harvest themselves. This meant that Ancient Soul Hall would become even stronger than it was before.


    Moreover, Yu Heng and the three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall were preparing to subdue the Ancestral Artifact fragment. Once they succeeded, Ancient Soul Hall would only get stronger and stronger, making it impossible for the Giant God Race to ever rise again and take its revenge.


    Even so, the members of the Giant God Race did not dare to act recklessly. Yu Heng had activated the power of the Ancient Race, and this dreadful power was enough to instantly exterminate a Rank Nine Ancient God. Not even Xin Wuheng dared nt it directly.


    "Ancestral Artifact fragment, cease your resistance! To be subdued by me is an honor." Yu Heng faintly smiled as he joined the three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall in surrounding the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    "If you think I''ll accept you, you''re dreaming!" the Ancestral Artifact fragment resounded with a furious voice.


    Booom!


    The Ancestral Artifact fragment erupted with formidable Time energy, a dazzling white light washing over the earth. The three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall slightly paused, the Time energy around them contorting and impeding their bodies.


    "Stubborn and foolish." Yu Heng''s face chilled as he descended.


    Suddenly, when the Time energy exuded by the Ancestral Artifact fragment bumped against Yu Heng''s body, it crumbled and scattered.


    "So strong!"


    "How terrifying!"


    The three members of Ancient Soul Hall and the members of the Giant God Race were all blown away by this sight. That dreadful Time energy had actually crumbled on first contact with Yu Heng''s Ancient Race God Devil Body?


    One had to realize that the Time energy unleashed by the Ancestral Artifact fragment was infused with a Time Law. Anyone weaker than a God Lord would be helpless against it.


    "Ancient Race, God-Devil Body!" the Ancestral Artifact fragment profoundly said.


    The power of the Ancient Race was truly too terrifying. Even though the bloodline in Yu Heng''s body was not complete, it was still a peerless and tyrannical strength.


    "Just submit!" After Yu Heng approached, he slowly extended his arm, and then a terrifying divine gold-silver light pierced through space and approached the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    At this moment, his attack tore the surrounding Time Intent and all the restrictions to pieces and extended several thousand li through space.


    "Oh no!" The Ancestral Artifact fragment appeared startled.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    A mysterious white light immediately exploded from the fragment. At the same time, a peerless Time energy spread out, creating a protective halo that attempted to weaken Yu Heng''s attack.


    Thought it took slightly longer to do so, that divine gold-silver light that could destroy all still blasted apart this Time energy.


    Using this sliver of time, the Ancestral Artifact fragment transformed into a streak of Spacetime light and vanished into the distance.


    Thwish! Thwish! Thwish!


    The three members of Ancient Soul Hall pursued.


    "Pointless resistance." Yu Heng''s expression turned cold as he slowly raised his hands. Tendrils of gold and silver began to extend from his body, exuding a dangerous energy that awed the world.


    "Not good! Yu Heng is going to use some secret art!" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    At this moment, the dreamy silver ball in his God Eye Dimension was spinning even faster, unleashing vast amounts of dreamy light.


    The three members of the Giant God Race were also nervous. The strength that Yu Heng was displaying was simply too great Together with three half-step God Lords, he was without rival.


    The fleeing Ancestral Artifact fragment also saw this sight and quivered in fear.


    But at this moment, Yu Heng''s eyes flashed. A moment later, the frightening energy in his body weakened, and part of his God-Devil Body became transparent.


    With a thought from Yu Heng, he took out a small white test tube the size of a finger from his interspatial dimension. Inside this tube was golden-silver blood.


    Thwish!


    The blood in the test tube flowed out of the tube and into the mouth of Yu Heng''s God-Devil Body.


    Boom!


    Yu Heng''s energy immediately swelled, and that ancient energy that could view the entire world with disdain once more caused all the bloodlines in the vicinity to tremble.


    "He''s recovered his strength and is even stronger than before!" Xin Wuheng was stunned.


    "Not good...." The Ancestral Artifact fragment could sense the fear in its heart growing. If this continued, it really would end up being captured by Yu Heng.


    At this moment, the Ancestral Artifact fragment suddenly felt a response. It immediately changed directions and began to fly back toward the damaged fortress.


    "Don''t even think about escaping!"


    The three members of Ancient Soul Hall were in hot pursuit Now that they knew the identities of Yu Heng and God Lord Stellar Aspect, they were filled with remorse for their previous actions. At this moment, they only wanted to put in every effort and contribute as much as they could.


    Suddenly:


    Thwish!


    A white light shot out from the ancient fortress.


    "Ancient God Cheng Yun!?" the members of the Giant God Race called out in surprise.


    The powerful Spacetime suppression had prevented them from noticing that Ancient God Cheng Yun was hidden inside.


    "Eh?" Zhao Feng was also surprised, and he used his left eye''s abilities to peer into the ancient fortress.


    However, seeing through the walls of the fortress was exceedingly difficult, and what he could see was heavily distorted.


    "It seems like there''s an independent dimension inside the fortress." Zhao Feng immediately understood.


    He had tried to see through the walls of the fortress before, but he never succeeded. It was only when Ancient God Cheng Yun suddenly charged out that he finally understood what was going on.


    Thwish!


    Ancient God Cheng Yun swiftly approached the Ancestral Artifact fragment "Stop him!" Ancient God Ice Jade called out in alarm.


    But it was too late. Ancient God Cheng Yun moved with incredible speed. The moment he touched the Ancestral Artifact fragment, he transmitted energy and a secret art to it, and the two of them began to work together.


    Thwish!


    In a flash of light, the two of them fled into the ancient fortress.


    "They fled rather quickly." Yu Heng stopped his secret art and slowly approached the fortress.


    "What should we do now?" The three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall immediately looked to Yu Heng, waiting for his orders.


    "Go in," Yu Heng indifferently said, his face fearless.


    At the same time, his God-Devil Body began to slowly shrink, and that intimidating ancient energy began to fade away as if Yu Heng was saving energy.


    "What about them?" Ancient God Jailsea shot a glance at the Giant God Race group.


    "Once we obtain the Ancestral Artifact fragment, nothing else will be a problem." Yu Heng faintly smiled and entered the ancient fortress first.


    Their small team was far stronger than the Giant God Race team from the beginning. Once they got their hands on the Ancestral Artifact fragment, killing the Giant God Race team would be an easy task.


    Swoosh...


    The Ancient Soul Hall members all entered the crumbling fortress, their energies vanishing entirely.


    The Giant God Race members and Zhao Feng stood at their original position, not sure what they should do.


    "Brother Zhao, what do you think?" Xin Wuheng asked.


    Entering the ancient fortress was undoubtedly the more dangerous choice, but it wasn''t like they could just leave this dimension. Moreover, if they allowed Yu Heng''s team to get the Ancestral Artifact fragment and wantonly plunder this dimension of resources, the Giant God Race would never have a chance at revival.


    "Let''s go in and take a look around!" Zhao Feng firmly said after thinking it over.


    Right after Yu Heng''s team entered the fortress, the strange activity in his God''s Spiritual Eye finally started to calm down. From this, one could see that his left eye had some connection to the Ancient Race.


    This was probably one of his only chances to uncover the secrets of his left eye.

 1390 The Tree of Time

    Chapter 1390 - The Tree of Time


    The members of the Giant God Race wanted to enter the ancient fortress. This was an unknown place, fraught with danger, but if Ancient Soul Hall managed to get even stronger, the ones worse off would be the Giant God Race. Besides, they couldn''t even leave this dimension, so it was much better to try their hand.


    All of them were well aware of how powerful Zhao Feng was. If Zhao Feng was willing to go with them, it would increase their ability to protect themselves.


    Swoosh...


    The party began to approach the fortress, and when they reached the crumbling entrance, they rushed inside. After a brief moment of Spacetime discord, the party immediately felt like the Spacetime pressure on their bodies had gotten even stronger, and their bodies fiercely sank down.


    They were greeted by a boundless world covered in strange stones. The occasional grass or shrub had withered away long ago.


    "So barren, yet it exudes such powerful Time energy!" Xin Wuheng''s gaze was somewhat dark.


    They had barely entered this place, and the suppression had already come down. It was incredibly powerful, and Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermountfelt like they were moving through a swamp, each movement incredibly arduous.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng circulated his dark silver and turbid Chaos Origin Divine Power and immediately felt his body relax. At the same time, the Chaos Origin Divine Power began to absorb the surrounding Time energy, increasing its own power.


    "Just what is this place? The suppression here is immense!" Ancient God Sundermount''s face was red with struggle, and only when he circulated his Giant God Race bloodline did he feel a little relief.


    "The response from Ancient God Cheng Yun is just up ahead," Xin Wuheng used the message token before stating.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun was together with the Ancestral Artifact fragment, and the Ancient Soul Hall was in pursuit of the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    The party began to cautiously move forward. This area had an incredibly powerful Spacetime suppression, which reduced their ability to fight. In addition, they also had to guard against the Ancient Soul Hall team and the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    When it was still whole, the Ancestral Artifact fragment was part of a Time Ancestral Artifact, so it was probably unaffected by the suppression of this place. As for Yu Heng, when he activated his Ancient Race energy, he could view the entire world with disdain.


    The Spacetime Intent suppression here was immense, so the group advanced very slowly. If they put all their strength into resisting the suppression, they could move faster, but this would consume too much energy.


    One day later...


    "Slow down," Zhao Feng said.


    In this dimension, they were experiencing unprecedented suppression, but the vision of his God''s Spiritual Eye was somewhat less suppressed.


    "What''s going on?"


    The group immediately stopped. They were well aware of just how formidable Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline was.


    "The Ancient Soul Hall group is up ahead!" Zhao Feng called out


    The others immediately grimaced. Ancient Soul Hall was still after the Giant God Race, it was just that the appearance of the Ancestral Artifact fragment had caused them to shift objectives temporarily. If the Giant God Race team chose to approach the Ancient Soul Hall members at this time, they would undoubtedly incur an attack from Ancient Soul Hall.


    "They''ve stopped," Zhao Feng added.


    "Why is that?" The Giant God Race members were rather puzzled.


    Logically speaking, Yu Heng and the Ancient Soul Hall members were strong enough to not fear the Ancestral Artifact fragment, but they had decided to stop for some reason?


    "Let''s attack now and seize the Ancestral Artifact fragment!" Ancient God Jailsea immediately said.


    "No hurry." Yu Heng had a calm expression as he stared into the distance.


    In the center of a vast rocky plain loomed a massive ancient tree that soared into the heavens. Its entire body was gray- white, and it exuded timeworn ancient energy. It appeared to be the center of this dimension, influencing all the Time energy within.


    This ancient tree had no leaves, and several parts of it had rotted away and branches had fallen to the ground. One could tell at a glance that it was on the verge of withering away and dying.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun sat cross-legged under this tree, the Ancestral Artifact fragment floating at his side.


    The three half-step God Lords were alarmed and confused.


    "Just what sort of tree is that?" Ancient God Ice Jade asked.


    Even if the Ancestral Artifact fragment and Ancient God Cheng Yun worked together, they were far from a match for them. But at this moment, Yu Heng chose not to attack, and the reason was probably that gray-white tree.


    This ancient tree seemed to be withering away, but all the Time energy in this world seemed to revolve around it, meaning that it was no ordinary tree.


    "The Ancestral Artifact fragment guards this place because this is the Tree of Time, the core of this dimension." Yu Heng faintly smiled.


    "The Tree of Time? The core?" The three members of Ancient Soul Hall all appeared confused.


    "Alas, that Tree of Time is on the verge of dying. Otherwise, once we take control over it, we would be able to control this entire dimension." Yu Heng sighed.


    By controlling this dimension, one would no longer suffer from this area''s suppression and might even receive a boost in strength. When such a time came, all the resources in this place would be theirs for the picking.


    Alas, the Tree of Time was teetering on the edge of death.


    "Let''s pause here for a while and recover until we''re in peak condition." After saying this, Yu Heng vanished, entering his personal cultivation dimension.


    "There seems to be another unknown variable there...." Yu Heng muttered.


    Perhaps because the Tree of Time and Ancestral Artifact fragment were together and were far too high-level, he found it more difficult to make his calculations. To guard against any mishaps, he decided to stop for a moment. In addition, every time he used the Ancient Race power, he would suffer an immense side effect that he needed time to neutralize.


    On the other end:


    "Let''s go around them and see the situation up ahead," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    The party detoured around the Ancient Soul group and chose a different direction to advance.


    They didn''t get very far before Zhao Feng stopped in surprise.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng displayed what he could see.


    "Ancient God Cheng Yun and the Ancestral Artifact fragment are both there!" Ancient God Resplendence''s eyes twinkled.


    Xin Wuheng was more focused on the gray-white tree though.


    "That ancient tree should be the core of this dimension!" Xin Wuheng said after some thought.


    "The core?" The others were taken aback.


    They could only tell that this tree was extremely unusual, unlike Xin Wuheng, who was able to determine its actual purpose.


    "Unfortunately, it''s on the verge of dying. Otherwise, if we got control of it, we could use it to deal with the Ancient Soul Hall members!" Ancient God Resplendence regretfully said.


    "At the very least, Ancient Soul Hall can''t take control of the core," Xin Wuheng said. This was a good piece of news.


    The Tree of Time was the core of this dimension and was incredibly high-level. Ordinary methods were incapable of revitalizing it.


    "Since they haven''t moved out, we''ll stay back as well."


    Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe Dimension. In the current dire situation, he had to use every moment available to increase his strength.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng summoned several Time resources before himself. These resources had all been gathered from around the ancient fortress and were of extremely high level.


    He divided his mind, using one part to absorb the Time essence in the resources while the other part used his Chaos Origin Divine Power to absorb Time energy. At the same time, Zhao Feng also removed the spatial isolation effect of the Spacetime Robe, allowing Time energy from the outside world to enter so his Chaos Origin Divine Power could absorb even more Time energy.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng didn''t even need five days to smoothly bring his Time Intent to Level Seven.


    "With my Time Intent at Level Seven, my Chaos Origin Divine Power has gotten another significant boost in power!" Zhao Feng was actually rather astonished.


    Although he reached the peak of Level Six with his Time Intent not too long ago, his Time Intent had risen so quickly as of late that he had had no time to steady his foundations or become used to his new level of power. Logically speaking, it shouldn''t have been this easy for him to increase it to the next level, but he had not even needed five days to break through.


    The reason might have been that the dangerous situation had greatly stimulated Zhao Feng''s potential. On top of that, this dimension''s Time suppression was even more powerful - the strength even more pure - and this energy was being directly absorbed by his Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    However, while his Time Intent had reached Level Seven, this only increased the power of his Chaos Origin Divine Power by a little, and all that did was increase his ability to resist this area''s suppression. It was still not very useful against the members of Ancient Soul Hall. For this reason, Zhao Feng did not stop and continued to strengthen his other Intent energies.


    At present, his Space Intent was at Level Eight and his Time Intent was at Level Seven, but many of his other Intents were paused at the peak of Level Six.


    Swish! Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out several resources for other kinds of Intent


    Although the majority of this dimension''s resources concerned Time Intent, this did not mean that there weren''t resources for other kinds of Intent


    Less than ten days later, Zhao Feng had brought his Five Elements Intent''s and Wind Lightning Intent''s constituent Intents all to Level Seven. This further strengthened his reserves.


    Zhao Feng''s mind sank into the Divine Stages within his dantian.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The last stream of energy from the Nine Lotus Jade Life Flower was circling around the nascent form of the ninth Divine Stage.


    Zhao Feng immediately undid the seals and absorbed this energy. At the same time, Zhao Feng began to form his ninth Divine Stage.


    Back in the outside world, although the members of the Giant God Race were also cultivating, the energy from Zhao Feng forming his Divine Stage was so immense that all of them noticed.


    It wasn''t long before Xin Wuheng''s cultivation area also began to pulse with formidable bloodline energy. At this dangerous moment, Xin Wuheng was also doing his utmost to increase his strength.


    On the other end:


    "It''s about enough," Yu Heng nonchalantly said.


    Bzzzz!


    Several ripples appeared in the air, and the three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall emerged.


    "Mm, I''ve finished recovering from my injuries!" Ancient God Jailsea immediately said.


    He had suffered the most severe injuries of the three. In order to quickly recover from his injuries, he even used some of the extremely precious resources he had gathered.


    "Let''s move out Our target is the Ancestral Artifact fragment and the Tree of Time." Yu Heng faintly smiled.


    The Ancient Soul Hall trio were rather alarmed. Anyone could see that this Tree of Time was on the verge of dying.


    Revitalizing it was incredibly difficult; even a God Lord probably stood no chance. But Yu Heng set it as one of their targets? Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Ancient Soul Hall party began to approach the Tree of Time. As they approached, the Time suppression on their bodies suddenly doubled.


    Beneath the Tree of Time, Ancient God Cheng Yun opened his eyes while the Ancestral Artifact fragment began to exude ripples of Time energy.


    "Cease resistance and hand yourselves over!" Yu Heng proudly stood and roared.


    The Ancient Soul Hall members all smiled. Once they obtained the Ancestral Artifact fragment, everything would be over. The Ancient God Seal would also easily be theirs.


    But at this moment:


    "All of you are quite bold to dare intrude upon my race''s forbidden ground!" A timeworn and forceful voice came from the Tree of Time.


    This voice continued to echo through the world, making one feel as if space and time were in discord.


    Bzzzz!


    A powerful bloodline energy accompanied by invisible Time energy began to spread outward.


    The blood inside the bodies of the Ancient Soul Hall members trembled as that powerful Time energy began to twist and contort their bodies.


    "There''s still someone else!?" Ancient God Ice Jade''s eyes darkened as she stared at the Tree of Time.


    "So powerful!" Ancient God Jailsea became wary.


    This opponent had an extremely powerful energy, and this bloodline energy was far above the Ancient Soul Race''s - definitely in the top ten of the ancient races.


    Yu Heng also grimaced. He waved his hand, creating a mysterious shield of light to resist this energy.


    Bzzzz!


    Ripples appeared on the trunk of the Tree of Time, and an elderly figure slowly emerged.


    His body was extremely strange, formed from streams of crystalline white light. The moment he emerged, all the Time energy in the world began to move, exerting an enormous pressure on the Ancient Soul Hall members.

 1391 True Master

    Chapter 1391 - True Master Over a barren landscape: Swish!


    In a burst of Spacetime ripples, Zhao Feng emerged wearing the Spacetime Robe.


    "We can move out now." Zhao Feng gazed into the distance, a look of surprise on his face.


    In this place, only he was capable of observing the Ancient Soul Hall team and the situation around the Tree of Time. Bzzzz!


    With a wave of his hand, he sent out a wave of Spacetime energy through his surroundings. The Giant God Race members immediately ended their cultivations and emerged.


    All of them gazed at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng''s energy at this moment was even more powerful and profound. More than half of the immense Time suppression was devoured as it approached Zhao Feng''s body. Standing there, Zhao Feng appeared extremely relaxed and carefree.


    "Zhao Feng, you broke into Rank Nine?" Ancient God Resplendence asked in amazement


    Zhao Feng reached the peak of Rank Eight some time ago, and after this period of seclusion, his aura was even more powerful. There was no doubt that he had broken into Rank Nine.


    "Correct." Zhao Feng nodded.


    Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Sundermount glanced at each other, unable to hide the shock on their faces. In the several months they had been in these ruins, Zhao Feng went from Rank Eight all the way to Rank Nine, making him the person with the fastest cultivation speed in the group. Ancient God Sundermount, who had gotten to know Zhao Feng earlier on, was even more astonished. When he first met Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng appeared to have only just reached Rank Eight.


    "Congratulations, Brother Zhao, on advancing another level in strength!" Xin Wuheng smiled.


    Zhao Feng previously was able to easily slay a Rank Nine and make even half-step God Lords feel helpless. Now that he had broken through, his strength had undoubtedly increased, which was only good news for their team.


    "Brother Xin, you should have already become a half-step God Lord," Zhao Feng used his profound left eye to examine Xin Wuheng and straightforwardly said.


    Xin Wuheng was somewhat taken aback. He hadn''t expected for Zhao Feng to be able to see through him so easily.


    As long as one could reach the peak of Rank Nine, becoming a half-step God Lord was no problem at all. The only issue was the need to convert one''s Divine Power.


    "They''ve already begun to move out and are headed for the Tree of Time. We can''t fall behind!" Zhao Feng went straight to the point


    "Then let''s hurry over! We can''t let Ancient Soul Hall succeed so easily!" Ancient God Resplendence appeared slightly concerned.


    Swoosh...


    Zhao Feng''s party immediately began to head toward the Tree of Time.


    The others were quickly able to see the situation around the Tree of Time.


    "They''re going to attack the Ancestral Artifact fragment!" Ancient God Sundermount was alarmed.


    But at this moment, an elder whose entire body radiated white light suddenly emerged from the Tree of Time''s trunk.


    A timeworn and majestic voice rang out, "All of you are quite bold to dare intrude upon my race''s forbidden ground!" At the same time, a powerful bloodline energy accompanied by invisible Time suppression spread out.


    "What''s going on?" Ancient God Sundermount suddenly stopped, his expression stricken with shock. He had the weakest strength and cultivation, and when that energy swept over, he immediately found himself unable to hold on.


    "That''s... the Light Race!" Xin Wuheng''s eyes flashed.


    "The Light Race?" The others were startled.


    The Light Race - the 7th ranked race among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and the fastest race in the Fan Universe! "How could the Light Race be here?" Ancient God Resplendence was stunned and confused.


    "The Tree of Time... this dimension seems like something the experts of the Light Race created!" Xin Wuheng said after thinking for a few moments.


    These words caused everyone to turn pensive.


    By the Tree of Time, the three members of Ancient Soul Hall stared at the Light Race expert in shock. If not for the fact that they knew Yu Heng was a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, they would have already yielded to this expert of the Light Race.


    "I didn''t think that there were living members of the Light Race in this dimension." Yu Heng faintly smiled as he examined this translucent white elder.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race...!" The elder stared at Yu Heng and slowly began to emit a terrifying bloodline energy.


    The Time suppression around the Tree of Time immediately strengthened. It was so powerful that even the three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall felt like their bodies were bound. Time was passing so slowly that a day seemed like a year.


    Yu Heng immediately took out a jade talisman, which emitted a powerful energy tinged with the energy of a Law to protect his surroundings.


    "Since you''ve run into me, I''ll render your race totally extinct!" Yu Heng clearly did not fear the anger of this Light Race expert, a faint smile perpetually on his face.


    "I''ll give the three of you one chance. If you can deal with this person, I will give you the opportunity to become a God Lord," Yu Heng turned to the Ancient Soul Hall trio and said.


    His Ancient Race bloodline could not be recklessly used. Nothing could be better for him than if the three members of Ancient Soul Hall could deal with this Light Race expert on their own.


    "This..." The three half-step God Lords were taken aback and hesitated.


    "There''s no need for you to worry. This person probably only just revived and still has rather severe injuries. At this moment, he can only use the strength of a half-step God Lord," Yu Heng nonchalantly said.


    "Lord Twilight Valley!" Ancient God Cheng Yun couldn''t help but call out to the Light Race elder.


    He truly had revived this Light Race expert by working together with the Ancestral Artifact fragment to use a Light Race secret art. But he was only able to revive Twilight Valley, not restore the latter''s full strength.


    Twilight Valley''s expression also dimmed. If he was at his prime, he would have exterminated all these ants the moment he manifested.


    "Okay!" The Ancient Soul Hall trio only needed to see the expressions on the faces of Ancient God Cheng Yun and Twilight Valley to know that Yu Heng spoke the truth. Moreover, Yu Heng indeed made an extremely tempting promise.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three half-step God Lords charged out. Accompanying them were three Soul Beasts.


    "Darkwater Jail Dragon!" One of Ancient God Jailsea''s arms turned into a black liquid that rapidly expanded into a black dragon ten thousand feet long.


    Roooooar!


    The black dragon roared as it fused with Ancient God Jailsea''s Soul Beast and charged at Twilight Valley.


    "The Ancient Soul Race dares to act so impudently before me!?" Twilight Valley''s face turned cold, and his body immediately vanished.


    A moment later, Twilight Valley appeared behind Ancient God Jailsea. Twilight Valley''s entire body pulsed with strange energy, and with a wave of his hand, streams of white light formed into a palm and swept forward.


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Jailsea''s face twisted in shock.


    The Light Race suffered no suppression in this dimension and could even use Instant Movement.


    Ancient God Jailsea sensed Twilight Valley''s sudden attack, but under the suppression of the Time energy, both his thinking speed and movements were extremely slow. He simply had no time to react.


    "Ice Jade Lotus Platform!" Ancient God Ice Jade thrust out a slender hand, instantly forming an Ice Jade Lotus Platform beneath Ancient God Jailsea.


    Twilight Valley''s Time energy was primarily focused on Ancient God Jailsea, so the effect was weaker on the others.


    At the same time, Ancient God Destruction Flow waved a palm, sending a river of Destructive energy rushing forward. Whoosh!


    Ancient God Destruction Flow''s Soul Beast fused into this river, further increasing its power. And Ancient God Destruction Flow did not even need to waste energy controlling the attack; his Soul Beast would guide the attack for him.


    Swish!


    Twilight Valley''s body blinked away once more. At the same time, his attack landed on Ancient God Jailsea.


    Whoosh!


    The palm of flowing light penetrated through the Ice Jade Lotus Platform and through Ancient God Jailsea''s body.


    Plush!


    Ancient God Jailsea flew backward, vomiting blood.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Ice Jade was stunned. Her defensive secret art was extremely effective at defending both the body and soul.


    "The Light Race possess the Time Body. Their Time attacks are effective against both the body and soul, and they are extremely capable of piercing through defenses," Yu Heng called out from the rear.


    In the distance, Zhao Feng and the others were shocked as could be.


    "This is the true Light Race!" Ancient God Sundermount murmured in shock.


    Even though they were all on the same level of power, the three Ancient Soul Race half-step God Lords were no match for their Light Race foe.


    "When will we attack?" Ancient God Resplendence asked.


    "No rush," Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng said at the same time.


    The Ancient Soul Race trio were easy to deal with, but the crucial person was Yu Heng. He was a member of the much higher-level Heaven''s Legacy Race, and he also possessed the strength of the Ancient Race!


    "Everyone, attack together!" Ancient God Ice Jade''s expression chilled as she yelled.


    "Darkwater Jail Dragon!" Ancient God Jailsea''s expression was pale and savage as he turned his other arm into another Darkwater Jail Dragon.


    Roooooar!


    Two Darkwater Jail Dragons, each ten thousand feet long, gave soul-shaking roars as they surged forward with destructive momentum.


    "Worldshatter!" Ancient God Destruction Flow waved both hands, unleashing two rivers of Destructive energy. A serpent dragon Soul Beast swam within these rivers, controlling them so that they circled around Twilight Valley.


    "Frigid Ice Mountain!" Ancient God Ice Jade raised both hands and formed a spell.


    Hisssss!


    A black shark shrouded in a dreadful ice storm charged into the heavens, transforming into a massive mountain of ice that unleashed an extremely cold energy throughout the world.


    "Kill!" the three half-step God Lords cried out as one.


    Brrrooom!


    The pitch-black rivers, Darkwater Jail Dragons, and the massive mountain of ice simultaneously descended around Twilight Valley, sealing him between them. The three half-step God Lords had chosen to infuse their attacks with powerful Space energy, with their objective being to disturb the surrounding space and prevent Twilight Valley from escaping using Instant Movement.


    "Although the Ancient Soul Race is ranked lower than the Light Race, it is still not a weak race!"


    "Die! The era of the Light Race was over long ago!"


    The three half-step God Lords viciously stared at Twilight Valley. As long as they could kill him, they could gain the help of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and become God Lords. In addition, killing the 7th ranked Light Race would bring supreme glory to the Ancient Soul Race.


    "Hah, laughable!" Twilight Valley coldly laughed as his entire body surged with Time energy. He brought his palms together, and all this energy erupted outward.


    "Time Annihilation!"


    A shockwave of Time energy erupted from between his palms. A dazzling white light illuminated the world. Wherever this Time shockwave passed, all things fell silent and seemed to freeze in place.


    The attacks of the three half-step God Lords rapidly began to weaken and disperse.


    In the distance, the Giant God Race group also felt the aftershocks from this almighty energy.


    "The power of a Law!"


    The four of them felt the blood in their bodies and even their thoughts freeze for a moment As they came under the effects of this Time attack, they felt their Divine Bodies and souls weaken, and a portion of the Divine Power in their bodies simply vanished.


    In Twilight Valley''s vicinity:


    Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!


    The souls of the three half-step God Lords, struck by the power of a Law, were given a severe blow, and they all ejected blood from their mouths, their faces turning ghastly pale.


    "How could he be this strong!?"


    "The three of us working together are still no match for him!?"


    The minds of the three half-step God Lords were reeling in shock.


    "The Light Race is not something a weakling race like yours can offend!" Twilight Valley stood tall, all the Time energy in this place revolving around him. It was as if he was declaring to everyone that he was the true master of this place.

 1392 The Outcome Decided?

    Chapter 1392 - The Outcome Decided?


    Twilight Valley of the Light Race was fighting alone against three half-step God Lords of the Ancient Soul Race, but he still had the upper hand.


    The three Ancient Soul Hall half-step God Lords had bitter expressions on their faces as they looked at Twilight Valley, having come out of this fight much worse for wear.


    "The three of you can''t even handle something as minor as this?" Yu Heng slightly shook his head.


    The three half-step God Lords had dark and gloomy expressions. They had also not expected that the difference in bloodline between the Ancient Soul Race and the Light Race would be so vast Even the three of them working together were incapable of dealing with one person.


    "Useless!" Yu Heng snorted once more.


    When they heard this, the three half-step God Lords grimaced. Now that they thought about it, their efforts had been almost negligible throughout this expedition. Even now, they needed Yu Heng to deal with everything. They had basically contributed nothing, which meant that if they wanted any sort of generous reward, they would have to depend entirely on what mood Yu Heng and God Lord Stellar Aspect were in.


    "Can we trouble you to lay down a space-sealing array?" Ancient God Ice Jade called out.


    The Light Race was innately incredibly fast, and they were unaffected by this dimension''s suppression and could use Instant Movement. Just like Zhao Feng, this Light Race expert had the advantage in speed, making him too difficult to deal with.


    "No problem." Yu Heng flipped his palm, and a miniature silver array immediately appeared.


    As it turned out, while the three half-step God Lords were battling with Twilight Valley, Yu Heng had already begun to lay out the array.


    "Go." Yu Heng tossed out the array.


    Hisssss!


    The miniature silver array began to expand in the air, enclosing everything within five hundred thousand li of the Tree of Time.


    Near the edge of the array:


    "We''re also inside the array!" Zhao Feng abruptly said.


    "To be expected of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Xin Wuheng muttered.


    Twilight Valley was simply too strong. His cultivation was profound, and he was a master of Time Intent and Space Intent. Ordinary space-sealing arrays would be ineffective against him. Thus, Yu Heng had the three half-step God Lords suppress the Light Race expert, which gave him time to secretly construct a space-sealing array.


    Moreover, this space-sealing array just so happened to enclose Zhao Feng''s group as well. This meant that, if Zhao Feng wanted to use Instant Movement for a sneak attack, the array would disrupt him and make it impossible


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race...!" Twilight Valley darkly glared at Yu Heng.


    He naturally understood that this member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race would be the most difficult to deal with. The Ancestral Artifact fragment and Ancient God Cheng Yun had already informed him that Yu Heng could control the power of the Ancient Race.


    As a member of the Light Race, he was well aware of just how terrifying the number one Ancient Race was. This was the reason Twilight Valley did not recklessly attack Yu Heng. Otherwise, he would have put everyone else aside and attacked Yu Heng from the very start.


    "Help me kill these three half-step God Lords. This will increase our chances of victory!" Twilight Valley messaged the Ancestral Artifact fragment


    In his current condition, he had a rather low chance of defeating Yu Heng and his Ancient Race energy in a head-on confrontation. If he had the Ancestral Artifact fragment, his chances would be greater.


    As long as he could swiftly kill the Ancient Soul Hall trio, Yu Heng would find it difficult without support. Given that he could not maintain the bloodline for very long, his loss would be inevitable.


    "Okay!" The Ancestral Artifact fragment continued to float in its original position.


    Outside, it had consumed enormous amounts of energy to hold back the Locustmoth Race and restrain the Ancient Soul Hall group. It was currently in the middle of recovering as quickly as possible.


    The space-sealing array finished enclosing the area.


    "The two of you, attack! I''ll support you!" Ancient God Ice Jade messaged the other two half-step God Lords.


    "Kill!" Ancient God Destruction Flow and Ancient God Jailsea nodded and charged forward.


    "Double Dragon Dark Sea Strike!" Ancient God Jailsea brought his palms together, and his arms transformed into black waves that expanded until they took the form of two Darkwater Jail Dragons.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Jailsea''s Soul Beast charged into the two black dragons, strengthening their power and allowing Ancient God Jailsea to control the dragons without expending too much of his attention.


    "Destruction Whirlpool!" Ancient God Destruction Flow similarly unleashed a pitch-black whirlpool. In the center of the whirlpool, one could faintly see a savage serpent dragon, roaring as it tossed and turned within.


    "Truly ignorant!" Twilight Valley called out as he waved his palms.


    Thwish!


    Two streams of white light took the forms of energy palms and shot forward. Ancient God Jailsea and Ancient God Destruction Flow were instantly suppressed by Time energy, entering a slow-motion world.


    Meanwhile, those two energy palms shot forward like bolts of lightning.


    "Don''t even think about it!" Ancient God Ice Jade''s face chilled as a dark purple ice pearl appeared in her hand. Countless snowflakes were dancing within.


    The moment this pearl appeared, it exuded a sinister chill that bored into one''s bones.


    "Icedeep Barrier!" Ancient God Ice Jade slapped the dark purple pearl with her palm, unleashing a dreadful cold energy throughout the world.


    At this moment, dark gray suits of Ice Jade Armor appeared on the bodies of Ancient God Jailsea and Ancient God Destruction Flow.


    Buzz!


    This time, Twilight Valley''s attack did not instantly pierce through his foes, instead making a deafening screeching noise. The Ice Jade Armor held on for a few moments before the Time energy attacks were finally able to pierce through.


    But by that time, Twilight Valley''s attacks had weakened while Ancient God Jailsea and Ancient God Destruction Flow had already activated defensive techniques, so they came away relatively unharmed.


    "Oh? A supreme-quality divine artifact of the Icedeep Race, the Deep Chill Pearl." Yu Heng smiled.


    The Ancient Soul Race naturally didn''t have the ability to contend against the power of the Light Race. However, Ancient God Ice Jade had the Deep Chill Pearl, a supreme-quality divine artifact from the 16th ranked Icedeep Race. This artifact contained the power of the Icedeep Race, which was capable of blocking the power of the Light Race to a certain extent.


    Thwish!


    Twilight Valley''s eyes flashed, and he transformed into a mysterious ray of light to avoid the attacks of the Ancient Soul Hall members.


    "Kill!" Ancient God Destruction Flow and Ancient God Jailsea chuckled before once more attacking Twilight Valley.


    Ancient God Ice Jade was the strongest of the trio precisely because of this supreme-quality divine artifact.


    "Freezing Fog!" While assisting the other two, Ancient God Ice Jade was also using the Deep Chill Pearl to launch attacks. A gray-white fog surged out from the Deep Chill Pearl, accompanied by a sea of snowflakes.


    Swish!


    Ancient God Ice Jade''s Soul Beast rushed within, traveling with the Freezing Fog to attack Twilight Valley.


    Wherever this Freezing Fog went, everything would freeze. Even Time energy was not free from its effects.


    Thwish!


    Twilight Valley was a mysterious ray of light as he rapidly moved through the world, dodging the attacks from the three half-step God Lords.


    "Stop him!" Ancient God Jailsea and Ancient God Destruction Flow put their all into their attacks, hoping to cut off Twilight Valley''s lines of escape.


    As long as Ancient God Ice Jade''s attack could hit Twilight Valley, it would have some effect on his speed. This would allow them to gradually gain the upper hand.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Twilight Valley continued to dodge, apparently unable to muster a counterattack against the three half-step God Lords. "Haha, die!" Ancient God Jailsea savagely laughed.


    The two Darkwater Jail Dragons immediately divided so that they could attack Twilight Valley from two sides. In front was Ancient God Destruction Flow''s Destruction Whirlpool while coming from behind was Ancient God Ice Jade''s Freezing Fog.


    It seemed as if they were about to succeed in injuring Twilight Valley for the first time.


    But at this moment, a pulse of Time Law energy came from another direction. Twilight Valley thrust out his left hand, which exuded Time energy.


    Thwish!


    In a flash of light, the Ancestral Artifact fragment appeared in Twilight Valley''s hand.


    "Die!" Now that he was wielding the Ancestral Artifact fragment, Twilight Valley immediately exploded with boundless Time energy that distorted the world around him.


    He had previously only been pretending to have been forced into desperate straits by the three half-step God Lords. This would cause the three half-step God Lords to slowly drop their guard, and as he fled, he began to slowly close the distance with his foes.


    At this moment, with the Ancestral Artifact fragment in his hand, he would definitely be able to instantly kill one or two of these half-step God Lords.


    Heheh!" A cold laugh rang out.


    Boom!


    A tyrannical ancient energy that could dominate all erupted from the distance.


    Boom! Swish!


    This tyrannical bloodline energy soared into the sky, accompanied by gold and silver streams of light, and caused the entire world to tremble.


    "The one who will die is you!" After saying this, Yu Heng unleashed a domineering divine light.


    Kaboom!


    The gold and silver divine light shattered all the Time energy in its path, and then it shattered the attacks of the Ancient Soul Hall trio. In a flash, Yu Heng''s attack had reached Twilight Valley.


    "Oh no!" Twilight Valley grimaced in shock and he immediately activated the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    A barrier of crystalline white light appeared in front of him. This was a Time-type defensive shield condensed from a Time Law. It was not only incredibly tough but was also able to weaken enemy attacks.


    Boom! Bang!


    The divine light immediately struck the barrier. A moment later, the crystalline white barrier shattered.


    Boom!


    Twilight Valley was struck by the rest of the attack, and his wounded body was smashed into a deep pit in the ground.


    "So strong!" The three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall were stunned.


    Even when using all their strength, they could not wound Twilight Valley, but Yu Heng had shattered his defensive secret art and dealt him a savage injury in one move.


    "Haha, even if it''s only a semi-finished product, it''s still not something a measly member of the Light Race can contend against" Yu Heng''s lips curled upward.


    At this moment, all the Time energy in the world was being suppressed by that tyrannical ancient energy. The only person left in the world was Yu Heng, and he alone reigned supreme!


    "He had us go first on purpose so he could find a weakness in this Light Race expert and strike when the time was right....'' Ancient God Ice Jade grimaced.


    The Light Race was the fastest race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Not even the Ancient Race could compare. Even if Yu Heng activated his Ancient Race energy, he would not be able to win in a short amount of time. Moreover, because he could not maintain the bloodline for very long, the Light Race could use that chance to turn defeat into victory. For this reason, Yu Heng had the Ancient Soul Hall trio go first while he observed the battle, secretly ready to strike at any moment


    Although they knew that they had been used by Yu Heng, none of them dared to complain. Besides, Yu Heng''s plan had succeeded; after using his Ancient Race bloodline, he had wounded the Light Race member, deciding the outcome of this battle.


    "Lord Twilight Valley!" Ancient God Cheng Yun rushed over in a panic. He had expended enormous amounts of energy to revive Twilight Valley, so he had spent all this time trying to recover.


    "It really is... the power of the Ancient Race!" Twilight Valley slowly flew up, his face slightly pale as he stared hatefully at Yu Heng.


    At the edge of the space-sealing array, the Giant God Race team was about to approach the Tree of Time to help fight back against the Ancient Soul Hall team, but the sudden shift in the battle made them come to a halt, as if they had been struck by a lightning bolt


    "How could this be?" The Giant God Race members grimaced.


    They hadn''t expected for Yu Heng to use this method to suddenly attack the Light Race expert. At this point, even if they went to the aid of the Light Race, the chances of winning would still be insignificant.


    "Brother Zhao, what should we...?" Xin Wuheng was just prepared to ask Zhao Feng what should be done when he suddenly realized that Zhao Feng''s condition was somewhat abnormal.


    Hisss!


    Zhao Feng was covering his head with his hands and rocking back and forth, his brow tightly furrowed. Within the God Eye Dimension, the dreamy silver ball was rapidly spinning, releasing layer after layer of dreamy mist. Ripples of dreamy light appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes, pulsing into his surroundings.


    Boom! Crack!


    The surrounding space seemed to be shattering like bubbles as the dreamy light struck it. This sight scared the Giant God Race members out of their wits, and the bloodlines in their bodies trembled in fear.

 1393 Ancient God-Devil Body

    Chapter 1393 - Ancient God-Devil Body


    Ripples of dreamy light appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes, pulsing into his surroundings.


    Boom! Crack!


    The surrounding space seemed to be shattering like bubbles as the dreamy light struck it. This sight scared the Giant God Race members out of their wits, and the bloodlines in their bodies trembled in fear.


    "Brother Zhao, what''s wrong...?" Ancient God Sundermount probed.


    "His eye!" Ancient God Resplendence stared at Zhao Feng''s left eye. Startled, she couldn''t help but take a few steps back.


    One had to realize that even a God Lord could not shatter the space of a high-level dimension like this, but the power released by Zhao Feng''s left eye was clearly causing the surrounding space to shatter.


    Bzzzz!


    With Zhao Feng putting all his energy into suppression, his left eye gradually stabilized, and that dreamy light vanished. "I''m fine."


    The dizziness in his soul also faded away. Zhao Feng turned his gaze to the Tree of Time, and his eyes dimmed.


    "We''ve underestimated Ancient Soul Hall and the members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race." Xin Wuheng gave a soft sigh.


    "But it''s not like we have no chance at all. At the very least, the three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall all have injuries, and Yu Heng''s Ancient Race strength has a time limit...." Zhao Feng said after some thought.


    All of them were so intimidated by the supreme strength Yu Heng had displayed that they could not coldly analyze the situation.


    "Good!" Xin Wuheng knew that Zhao Feng meant that they still had an opportunity.


    Swoosh...


    The group of four began to fly toward the Tree of Time.


    By the Tree of Time:


    "Damn, more enemies...." A hint of despair appeared on Twilight Valley''s resentful and unwilling face.


    "Milord, they are enemies of Ancient Soul Hall," Ancient God Cheng Yun said. Of course, Ancient God Cheng Yun was already under the complete control of the Thought Body at this point.


    "It''s still no use." Twilight Valley shook his head.


    Although the enemy of an enemy was a friend, even if the Giant God Race members were willing to help them, the chances of victory were still tiny. The Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Yu Heng had control over the power of the Ancient Race. Even the Light Race found it hard to contend against the power of the Ancient Race, let alone the Giant God Race.


    "Twilight Valley, that silver-haired boy isn''t simple. He even managed to tame a Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" the Ancestral Artifact fragment messaged.


    "Is that so? A Heaven''s Legacy Cat?" Twilight Valley glanced at Zhao Feng in surprise.


    "They''ve finally come out! Perfect! We can deal with them all at once!" Yu Heng saw the Giant God Race party flying over and loudly laughed.


    If Zhao Feng''s team had remained in hiding, once he finished off the Light Race and obtained the Ancestral Artifact fragment, he would have had to rest for a while before seeking out and eliminating the Giant God Race team. But now, the Giant God Race team was coming over while he still had his bloodline active. Since this was the case, he could resolve all his problems in a single stroke.


    Boom!


    A vast and ancient energy swept through the world, causing everyone''s bloodlines to tremble and their breathing to feel stifled.


    "Die!" Yu Heng thrust forward a palm aimed at Zhao Feng''s team.


    Kacrack!


    A gold and silver divine light transcended space to descend upon the Giant God Race team.


    "Oh no!" All of them grimaced.


    Xin Wuheng suddenly stomped forward as he activated his Giant God Race bloodline, bathing the world in dazzling white light At the same time, the power of a Five Elements Law began to emit from him.


    Ordinary power would not even be able to take one blow from Yu Heng. Only the power of a Law had any chance of resisting.


    "Five Elements Law-Shattering Palm!" Xin Wuheng thrust out a palm, and five vortices of energy, each one a different color, appeared on his five massive fingers.


    Boom!


    As he thrust out his palm, a massive palm of energy formed from five different vortices hurtled toward Yu Heng''s attack.


    But a moment later:


    Boom! Bang!


    Xin Wuheng''s attack was pulverized, the divine light piercing right through it However, Xin Wuheng succeeded in blocking Yu Heng''s attack for a few moments, buying enough time for the others to dodge.


    Brrrooom!


    The gold and silver light crashed into the ground, annihilating everything in its path.


    "He actually managed to block it for a bit?" Yu Heng was rather surprised.


    Xin Wuheng had already reached the level of a half-step God Lord, and in his previous life, he was a God Lord, so he knew how to harness the power of a Law. Normally, this ability combined with his Giant God Race would have made him invincible against anyone below the God Lord level.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race, die!" On the other side, Twilight Valley used this chance to charge at Yu Heng.


    "Time Execution!" Twilight Valley swung the Ancestral Artifact fragment, unleashing a blade of twisted Time energy. Hisssss!


    This Time blade pierced through space and immediately appeared in front of Yu Heng.


    Twilight Valley was also a God Lord before his revival, and he also understood how to harness the power of a Law. Moreover, he was also using the Ancestral Artifact fragment, so this Time attack was incredibly powerful.


    An ordinary half-step God Lord would be helpless against this attack, dying instantly. Even the three members of Ancient Soul Hall were somewhat worried for Yu Heng. After all, this was an attack from a Light Race member using an Ancestral Artifact fragment!


    "Heheh!" Yu Heng coldly chuckled, and his Ancient God-Devil Body instantly exploded with an even more powerful bloodline energy.


    Bzzz! Swoosh!


    Gold and silver threads of light began to flow across his body, exuding dim light. At a glance, Yu Heng seemed to be one hundred thousand mountains, crushing everything in the world.


    Boom! Bang!


    At this moment, Twilight Valley''s attack crashed into Yu Heng''s body, but surprisingly, the distorted blade of Time energy only got halfway through when it suddenly weakened.


    Swoosh!


    As it continued to cut deeper into Yu Heng, the power dropped even more quickly.


    "Haha, even though I only have twenty to thirty percent of the Ancient Race''s bloodline power, you still can''t do anything to my Ancient God-Devil Body!" Yu Heng raised his head and laughed.


    Swoosh!


    The deeper the blade of Time energy went, the more rapidly it lost energy, and the wounds on Yu Heng''s body were rapidly healing.


    "This... Ancient Race!" The three members of Ancient Soul Hall stood in shock.


    It was no wonder the Ancient Race reigned supreme over all the other countless race, none of them daring to defy it. The power of the Ancient Race was truly too inconceivable.


    In the distance, Zhao Feng was also shocked by this sight. The attack launched from the Ancestral Artifact fragment by Twilight Valley had actually failed to do anything to Yu Heng.


    "If that''s the case, if I attack through the soul..." Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    Although Yu Heng was incredibly powerful after activating his Ancient Race bloodline, his Soul Intent should still be at peak Rank Nine.


    Suddenly, a massive silver eye appeared over Yu Heng''s head, exuding a dreadful energy. At this moment, even the tyrannical energy emitted by Yu Heng somewhat weakened.


    "This is...?" Yu Heng looked suspiciously at the sky. His intuition told him that this eye was extremely abnormal. It even reminded him of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    "Gaze of the God Eye!" Zhao Feng, in the Eye of Heaven state, used one of his most powerful eye-bloodline techniques.


    A powerful soul-absorbing force erupted from the eye. In the Eye of Heaven state, his Gaze of the God Eye was even more powerful. Even half-step God Lords would be affected.


    "A sou²·absorbing eye-bloodline technique!" Ancient God Jailsea was alarmed His injuries were more severe, so even his Ancient Soul Body felt the pull of this technique.


    But Yu Heng only grinned.


    "How could it be...? No use?" Zhao Feng was stunned. When his Gaze of the God Eye was used against Yu Heng, it appeared to be trying to pull against an enormous mountain, an incredibly arduous task.


    Yu Heng proudly stood where he was like an immovable mountain.


    "Ignorant! An Ancient God-Devil Body is one with the soul body. It is supreme and flawless!" Yu Heng loudly laughed, and then he waved his palm at the sky.


    Divine light immediately surged toward the dreamy silver eye.


    "Oh no!" Zhao Feng grimaced as his left eye began to pulse.


    He dispelled the Eye of Heaven as quickly as he could, but he was still too late.


    Boom!


    An extremely small part of Yu Heng''s attack managed to reach the Eye of Heaven and affect Zhao Feng''s soul.


    Zhao Feng had always been extremely confident in his soul defenses, but at this moment, he felt a pain more intense than when he split his soul.


    "Ah...!" Fierce pain caused Zhao Feng to cry out, his hands covering his head as he dropped to the ground.


    Bzzzz!


    The weak gold and silver light began to wreak havoc on Zhao Feng''s soul.


    And then it reached the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    Thwish!


    A vortex of dreamy light instantly emerged from the God''s Spiritual Eye. Strangely, the gold and silver light suddenly calmed down. The dreamy light vortex began to directly absorb the Ancient Race energy that had reached Zhao Feng''s soul.


    "Zhao Feng!" The three members of the Giant God Race were all extremely worried.


    "Eh? The attack reached his soul, but he''s not dead?" Yu Heng''s confusion deepened. As he gazed at Zhao Feng, he slowly turned his focus to Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "His left eye..." Yu Heng suddenly became uneasy.


    "Go!" At this moment, Xin Wuheng bellowed and charged forward.


    "Members of the Giant God Race, if you help me push them back, you will have my utmost gratitude!" Twilight Valley immediately said. When Xin Wuheng attacked a moment ago, he noticed that Xin Wuheng was no ordinary half-step God Lord. There was a high chance that he was a God Lord expert in a past life. If this was the case, they had a chance of fighting back if they worked together.


    "Leave no one alive!" Yu Heng growled.


    The three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall charged out together.


    "Scram!" Xin Wuheng roared as he thrust out his finger.


    This finger was imbued with the formidable bloodline physical energy of the Giant God Race as well as Xin Wuheng''s understanding of Law.


    Brrrooom!


    Endless worldly pressure rumbled toward the three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall. Ancient God Destruction Flow and Ancient God Jailsea were forced back in disarray, while Ancient God Ice Jade, who was the strongest and was skilled in defense, came out somewhat better.


    Thwish!


    At this moment, Ancient God Cheng Yun arrived at Xin Wuheng''s side.


    "Go and help Lord Twilight Valley!" Ancient God Cheng Yun said, and then he began to attack Ancient Soul Hall''s three halfstep God Lords.


    After arriving at the Light Race''s forbidden ground, "Cheng Yun" had gotten much stronger, and he had essentially recovered from what he expended earlier. And he was not suppressed here, making him even stronger.


    Ancient God Resplendence, Ancient God Sundermount, and the little thieving cat also entered the battle, assisting Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    Ancient Soul Hall''s three half-step God Lords, because they fought Twilight Valley just a moment ago, were injured and exhausted. Ancient God Cheng Yun and the others were also not seeking to defeat them, only hold them down.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Terrifying explosions of light could be seen across the barren land, and the entire world fiercely trembled. Only Zhao Feng quietly lay on the edge of the battlefield.


    In his God Eye Dimension, after the dreamy silver sphere finished absorbing the Ancient Race energy, it began to madly spin, releasing a dreamy mist that made the entire God Eye Dimension appear like a dreamscape.


    Zhao Feng''s mind was immersed in this dreamy light, where he saw a series of blurry images.

 1394 Zhao Feng Awakens

    Chapter 1394 - Zhao Feng Awakens


    Zhao Feng''s soul had not fallen unconscious. Instead, it was immersed in the dreamy silver sphere, where it saw a series of blurry images.


    It was a chaotic battlefield, gray and gloomy, an incredibly oppressive air hanging over everything.


    Brrrooom!


    On the end of the battlefield that he couldn''t see, he could hear countless thunderous explosions. On the battlefield, imposing figures of various shapes fought, their battles sundering the heavens, fracturing the earth, and tearing at the fabric of spacetime itself.


    In this place, Zhao Feng couldn''t even tell which side was the heavens and which side was the earth.


    "So powerful...! Just what sort of war is this!?" Zhao Feng''s mind trembled. All the figures in this war possessed strength far above an ordinary God Lord.


    Suddenly, a heaven-shaking pulse of energy came from the center of this boundless battlefield. Zhao Feng''s mind was given a fierce jolt, and he couldn''t help but look over.


    Brrrooom!


    In the center of the battlefield, a gigantic God-Devil had unleashed a chaotic ball of energy. At this moment, the heavens and earth collapsed, and all the nearby figures rushed into the distance with explosive speed.


    Boom!


    The chaotic ball of energy instantly crossed a vast distance, destroying everything in its path as it hurtled toward the other end of the battlefield.


    There was yet another indistinct and gigantic figure. Suddenly, two dazzling and dreamy lights appeared on the head of this indistinct figure.


    Bzzzz!


    Fantastical dreamy mist began to spread outward, painting the drab and gray world in dazzling colors. Suddenly, all the color gathered on the chaotic ball of energy. A moment later, the chaotic ball of energy transformed into a ball of dreamy light


    And then, with a puff of wind, the dreamy light vanished. It was as if this energy had always been an illusion, and the slightest touch would make it scatter.


    "So easily done.... This energy... could it be...?" Zhao Feng''s eyes widened as his soul quivered and trembled.


    His thoughts felt like they were frozen, and everything in the world seemed to have slowed down.


    And Zhao Feng stared at this sight, forgetting time. This scene seemed to last for one year, ten years, one hundred years...


    In this period of time, one profound and wondrous comprehension after another flowed into Zhao Feng''s soul with great difficulty.


    "Time Execution!" Twilight Valley gripped the Ancestral Artifact fragment and unleashed a blade of twisted Time energy.


    This blade of Time energy ignored the restriction of this world and was imbued with a power that could destroy all.


    However, when this blade of Time energy cut into Yu Heng, it was like a small pebble falling into a lake, only creating a small ripple.


    The Ancient Race is terrifying! Xin Wuheng was stunned.


    According to what Yu Heng said, he was currently wielding only twenty to thirty percent of the Ancient Race''s bloodline power. If the actual Ancient Race was here, just how terrifying would that be?


    It was no wonder that, in the Ancient Wild Era, the Ancient Race had proudly stood over the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, none daring to challenge its supremacy!


    Swooosh!


    Xin Wuheng quickly began to move, unleashing bolt after bolt of multicolored energy from his fingers.


    Each bolt of finger energy contained the powerful bloodline energy of the Giant God Race and a tinge of Law energy. Each one was enough to exterminate a Rank Nine.


    "Lowly ants also dare to contend against me!?" Yu Heng loudly laughed as tyrannical ancient energy erupted out of his body, and he charged forward.


    Whoosh!


    His left palm slammed against the air, releasing a wave of gold and silver light that howled in all directions.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    All of Xin Wuheng''s attacks collapsed and were extinguished.


    The moment Yu Heng finished dealing with Xin Wuheng''s attacks, Twilight Valley''s attack arrived.


    "We only need to hold him down. Once the Ancient Race bloodline energy is used up, we''ll win!" Twilight Valley messaged Xin Wuheng.


    In a one-on-one duel, none of them was a match for Yu Heng.


    Damn! If not for Xin Wuheng, I would definitely be able to defeat the Light Race, Yu Heng silently grumbled.


    He had heavily injured Twilight Valley earlier, which slowed him down. In a one-on-one, he would have been able to swiftly deal with Twilight Valley and seize the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    Thwish!


    The blade of Time energy instantly appeared in front of Yu Heng.


    In comparison to Xin Wuheng''s attacks, Twilight Valley''s attacks were somewhat more troublesome. The blade of Time energy contained the formidable energy of a Time Law, which gave Yu Heng no time to block it. He could only resist the blow with his body.


    These two fellows can both use Law energy, and they also have abundant combat experience. It''s rather hard to deal with... but there are still weaknesses. Yu Heng''s expression darkened as he silently began to think.


    Boom!


    Yu Heng activated his Ancient God-Devil Body to receive Twilight Valley''s attack. Suddenly, he turned around and began to move away from Twilight Valley and Xin Wuheng.


    "The two of you truly are hard to deal with. Since that''s the case, I''ll take care of the others first, hahaha...!" Yu Heng loudly laughed as he began to head toward the other end of the battlefield.


    Given his strength, whether it was Ancient God Sundermount, Cheng Yun, or Resplendence, none of them could take a single blow from him. Anyone he wanted to die would die!


    The Giant God Race members and the little thieving cat were in the middle of a fierce battle with the three half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall.


    "Good, Yu Heng is coming over!" Ancient God Ice Jade rejoiced, and the other two half-step God Lords also smiled.


    The three of them were quite depressed over the fact that they were being suppressed by this group, feeling utterly humiliated.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat was the first to sense the approaching danger and disappeared in a flash of gray-silver light. "Not good! Retreat...!" Ancient God Resplendence called out in alarm as she hurriedly began to fall back.


    However, the Ancient Soul Hall trio doggedly pursued them.


    Meanwhile, Yu Heng was much faster than the three half-step God Lords and quickly arrived on the scene.


    "Hurry and stop him!" Twilight Valley roared as he and Xin Wuheng flew off in pursuit


    If the others were killed by Yu Heng, the two of them alone, no matter how great their abilities, would never be able to fight back against the Yu Heng and three half-step God Lords.


    "Die!" Yu Heng coldly laughed as he waved his palm, sending several beams of divine light into the distance.


    "No...!" Ancient God Sundermount felt like there were one hundred thousand mountains coming up behind him, and thoughts of death began to dominate his mind.


    Ancient God Resplendence immediately suppressed her bloodline, shrinking down, and then she used a secret art to rapidly escape.


    "Time Freeze!" Twilight Valley harnessed the power of the Ancestral Artifact fragment to spread out Time Law energy over a vast area.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    This Time energy immediately crumbled in the face of those beams of divine gold-silver light. However, it still proved effective in slowing down the attacks for just a moment


    Boom! Bang!


    A few brief moments later, the gold-silver beams crashed down like meteors, destroying everything in their path.


    Brrrooom!


    The earth rumbled and boomed as destructive shockwaves spread in every direction.


    Ancient God Resplendence was struck by the aftershocks of the attack. Vomiting blood, her body went flying several li before smashing into the ground.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun suffered slightly lighter injuries.


    Ancient God Sundermount was not able to escape the range of Yu Heng''s attack. When the attack fell, he had already been pulverized into dust


    "Ancient God Sundermount...!" Ancient God Resplendence cried out.


    "Don''t worry! I''ll be sending you to join him soon." Yu Heng coldly smiled at Ancient God Resplendence.


    Ancient God Resplendence felt her heart and blood tremble in fear, and a look of despair appeared on her face.


    "Don''t even think about it!" Twilight Valley and Xin Wuheng finally arrived.


    The two of them attacked Yu Heng with all the power they could muster.


    Yu Heng creased his brow and began to dodge. Although he was completely capable of receiving these attacks, the Ancient Race bloodline energy was limited, so he wanted to save as much as possible.


    "Giant God Heavenfall Palm!" Xin Wuheng saw that his attacks were being dodged and immediately use a large-scale combat skill.


    An enormous hand appeared in the sky, blocking out the sun and casting the world into darkness.


    "Heh, die!" With a sneer, Yu Heng turned around and charged straight at Xin Wuheng.


    At the same time, the three half-step God Lords charged forward, completely disregarding Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    "Not good! It was a trap!" Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley both paled.


    Yu Heng never planned to slaughter all the others. Yu Heng''s attack just now had slain Ancient God Sundermount and heavily injured Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Cheng Yun, forcing them back. This finally gave an opportunity for the three half-step God Lords to join the battle.


    "Get back!" Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley immediately began to flee.


    The two of them were enough to deal with Yu Heng, but once three half-step God Lords were added into the mix, they had no chance of victory.


    "Where are you running? Haha!" Yu Heng heartily laughed as he madly rushed at Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley, occasionally unleashing a palm of gold and silver light.


    Although Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley did their utmost to dodge, they were still struck by a few aftershocks, and their injuries slowly began to worsen.


    "Haha, it''s all over now!" The three half-step God Lords rejoiced.


    But at this moment, an astonishingly powerful pulse of energy came from the distance. This energy caused the bloodlines and souls of the three half-step God Lords, Twilight Valley, and Xin Wuheng to all tremble, and all of them turned to look at the source.


    "Zhao Feng!" Xin Wuheng immediately called out He knew that Zhao Feng could not be finished off so easily.


    "What''s going on? This energy...!" Yu Heng suddenly grimaced.


    His shock was greater than anyone else present - even his Ancient Race bloodline was trembling in fear, filling him with an ill foreboding.


    "Ancient God Destruction Flow, kill him before he awakens!" Yu Heng immediately roared.


    Earlier, Yu Heng believed that Zhao Feng''s soul had been injured from his attack, causing him to fall unconscious, so Yu Heng had ceased to pay him any attention. Now, it seemed like this was not actually the case.


    "Yes!" Ancient God Destruction Flow immediately turned into a dark flash as he shot toward Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng!" Xin Wuheng called out. However, Yu Heng was still present, making him incapable of going to Zhao Feng''s aid.


    On the ground, Zhao Feng''s left eye was exuding faint rays of dreamy light, which caused the surrounding space to shatter. "Hiss...." Zhao Feng let out a hiss.


    Not good! Ancient God Destruction Flow is coming. I have to...! Zhao Feng internally shouted.


    But his mind was still dizzy and disorderly, his consciousness blurry and unclear, and his left eye felt like it was about to burst open. There was nothing he could do.


    He clambered up and stared at Ancient God Destruction Flow, but he realized that his mind was in such a mess that even circulating energy was a challenging task.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng flew into the air, but his body swayed and staggered, and his speed was incredibly slow.


    "Heh, where are you running? Obediently accept your death!" Ancient God Destruction Flow savagely laughed as he approached.


    What do I do...? What''s my best course of action? Zhao Feng could sense danger getting closer, but his head was still dizzy and felt like it was going to explode, and his mind was still a mess. He was unable to use any of his powers.


    "Die!" Ancient God Destruction Flow waved a palm, unleashing a black river of Destructive energy.


    I can''t use any other power, so what about the power of the God''s Spiritual Eye? Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed. His current state was entirely because of the God''s Spiritual Eye. At this moment, since he couldn''t use Divine Power or generate any speed, he could only try the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    God Eye... Disintegration! Zhao Feng''s left eye stared at Ancient God Destruction Flow''s attack as he activated his technique. In this situation, he could only survive by using God Eye Disintegration to weaken this attack.


    Bzzzz!


    A dreamy mist shot forward, beginning to analyze and disintegrate.


    However, the efficiency of the disintegration was extremely low. Zhao Feng would still be heavily injured by this attack, making him incapable of escaping.


    Thumpthump! Thumpthump!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye pulsed even faster, transmitting a swelling pain.


    At this moment, the scenes from that chaotic battlefield appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind. That ancient figure unleashed a dreamy and multicolored light, instantly and easily wiping away that all-destroying attack.


    That miraculous strength... I might be able to do it too! Zhao Feng''s soul trembled.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    As he thought about this, the dreamy silver sphere in his God Eye Dimension began to spin even faster. A dreamy mist began to spread out.


    "Extinguish!" Zhao Feng roared as he madly circulated his left eye.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye was pushed to the limit, and dreamy mist spilled out, fusing into the surrounding spacetime.


    At this moment, the world before Zhao Feng''s eyes underwent a massive transformation.


    "What''s going on here?" Zhao Feng was struck dumb.


    All objects were suddenly covered in a dazzling, gorgeous, and dreamy color. Although the river surging toward Zhao Feng was still pitch-black, it too was covered in a layer of colors, making it seem more like a rainbow river.


    All this was wondrous and left Zhao Feng flabbergasted and confused, but Ancient God Destruction Flow''s attack continued unabated, about to bring death upon his head.


    "Extinguish...!" Zhao Feng stared at the river and roared.


    Whoosh!


    A moment later, the black river wrapped in dazzling colors shattered and scattered as if it was made of bubbles or foam, leaving no trace behind.


    The world slowly began to return to normal.


    "I did it...." After a momentary daze, Zhao Feng suddenly became happy.


    Just now, he tried that move he had seen on the chaotic battlefield. To his surprise, he succeeded!


    Nearby, the smile on Ancient God Destruction Flow''s face froze.


    "This... what''s going on?"


    His powerful and destructive attack that could exterminate an ordinary Rank Nine Ancient God vanished without any warning. This was unreasonable, inconceivable!


    He also knew that Zhao Feng was capable of disintegrating attacks, but the disintegration speed was not fast, and the user could still sense the energy that was disintegrated. But just now, his attack seemed to be made of bubbles that had suddenly all popped and disappeared. He sensed nothing at all, as if this river of Destructive energy had never existed in the first place.

 1395 Zhao Feng Versus Yu Heng

    Chapter 1395 - Zhao Feng Versus Yu Heng


    In the distance, the fleeing Twilight Valley and Xin Wuheng, the pursuing Yu Heng, and the other two half-step God Lords were also dumbfounded.


    "What in the world happened just now?" Ancient God Ice Jade asked in alarm.


    Zhao Feng had only just awakened and had no ability to fight. It seemed like Ancient God Destruction Flow''s attack was about to obliterate him. Suddenly, however, that pitch-black river of Destruction had vanished into nothing as if it was a mere illusion. Not even someone with Ancient God Ice Jade''s experience could comprehend what happened just now.


    "Twilight Valley, I said before, there''s something unusual about that kid!" the Ancestral Artifact fragment messaged.


    "There truly is something unusual, but just what in the world is it?" Even Twilight Valley was rather befuddled. He was being pursued, so he had not been paying much attention to Zhao Feng''s situation.


    "That kid''s eye..." Yu Heng''s gaze was extremely dark and gloomy.


    When Zhao Feng used his eye-bloodline technique to neutralize Ancient God Destruction Flow''s attack, Yu Heng felt his Ancient Race bloodline slightly tremble once more.


    The Ancient Race was the number one bloodline of the ten thousand races. For it to inexplicably shiver made Yu Heng uneasy, and he wanted to immediately remove Zhao Feng.


    After using Origin energy to nullify Ancient God Destruction Flow''s attack, Zhao Feng instantly felt like his head was much clearer. The dizziness and bursting pain rapidly faded, and his mind slowly returned to normal, his entire person appearing much more energetic.


    "Perhaps it was because I accumulated too much Origin energy in my Origin Dimension, so after releasing it all, I feel much better," Zhao Feng concluded.


    If this was really the case, then that eye-bloodline technique just now had expended a truly tremendous amount of Origin energy. However, its power was commensurate with its price.


    "I''ll call it God Eye Illusory Oblivion!" Zhao Feng smiled.


    The effect of this eye-bloodline technique was similar to God Eye Disintegration, but the power was on a whole new level.


    "This is impossible!" Nearby, Ancient God Destruction Flow roared in disbelief.


    "Hmph, nothing is impossible!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted as a pair of golden wings appeared on his back.


    He had now completely recovered, and all his energy was available for him to use as he pleased.


    Thwish!


    His body transformed into a stream of light as he shot toward Ancient God Destruction Flow.


    Although he was in the space-sealing array, even without Space Intent, Zhao Feng could still move extremely fast.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" Zhao Feng gathered his Divine Power and unleashed a fist of dark silver chaotic energy.


    The chaotic energy of the fist was surrounded by a strange devouring aura that consumed the surrounding Time energy to strengthen itself. This fist was simply unavoidable - it was propelled by Time Intent to incredible speeds, making Ancient God Destruction Flow feel as if time and space were out of sync.


    Kaboom!


    Ancient God Destruction Flow was blown back by the fist, a trickle of blood seeping down his lips.


    "Kid, I''ll kill you!" Ancient God Destruction Flow wiped away the blood and angrily stared. He hadn''t expected for the weak Zhao Feng to recover so quickly and catch him off guard.


    At this moment:


    Meooow!


    The nimble figure of a cat leaped out of a shadow, a dagger covered in silver runes in its paw that unleashed a cold and sinister blade of energy at Ancient God Destruction Flow.


    Swoosh!


    The cold and sinister blade plunged into Ancient God Destruction Flow''s chest. Extremely frigid energy immediately began to spread through his body, causing his soul and bloodline to involuntarily tremble.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng circulated Tribulation Lightning energy and immediately fired off a twisted lightning-flame.


    Kacrack!


    The lightning-flame set Ancient God Destruction Flow''s soul aflame.


    At this moment, ice, fire, and lightning were all wreaking havoc on his body, causing his face to twist in agony. He was already heavily injured, and with the attacks of Zhao Feng and the little thieving cat, he weakened even further.


    Thwish!


    At this moment, Ancient God Cheng Yun and Ancient God Resplendence arrived and attacked Ancient God Destruction Flow.


    "Let''s work together and kill this person!" Zhao Feng messaged.


    Only by first killing one half-step God Lord could they turn around the battle.


    "No, you...!" The injured Ancient God Destruction Flow began to panic.


    "Not good! If this continues, Ancient God Destruction Flow will..." Ancient God Ice Jade''s face went cold.


    Ever since Zhao Feng awakened, he began to give off a strange and unfathomable feeling. And there was also the little thieving cat and its many bizarre techniques, as well as Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    Ancient God Destruction Flow was highly likely to die here.


    "Good! The tides are turning!" Twilight Valley was rather delighted and glanced appreciatively at Zhao Feng.


    "And Yu Heng''s bloodline energy is much weaker than before. He shouldn''t be able to last for much longer!" Xin Wuheng was also making a few calculations.


    "Damn! Zhao Feng! Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" Yu Heng''s eyes were tinged with rage as he gnashed his teeth. If not for Zhao Feng''s sudden awakening, he might have already finished things by now.


    Swish!


    Ѿu Heng suddenly took out a test tube that was the size of finger With a thought, he shattered it A gold and silver liquid flowed into his mouth.


    "Oh no!" Xin Wuheng grimaced. He had seen this scene before, so he naturally understood what it meant.


    A moment later:


    Boom!


    Yu Heng''s gigantic body erupted with a dominating and valiant bloodline energy, and he had apparently returned to his peak condition. Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea were so heavily suppressed in both bloodline and soul that they were on the verge of prostrating themselves.


    Bzzz! Swoosh!


    Yu Heng raised both his hands, and gold and silver threads began to spread out, exuding perilous energy that made one''s heart shiver.


    "What''s going on? His bloodline energy has recovered!" Twilight Valley was startled.


    "Not good! He''s noticed the situation and probably plans to swiftly end this battle!" Xin Wuheng was incredibly worried.


    At this moment, Yu Heng''s bloodline energy had returned to its peak, and it seemed like he was preparing to use some secret art. The power of the Ancient Race was already incredibly strong; if this power was used for some secret art, Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley would find it very difficult to block it.


    "Time Execution!"


    "Giant God Finger!"


    At this critical juncture, both of them used their strongest attacks to try and interrupt Yu Heng, or at least grind away at his bloodline energy.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two half-step God Lords barraged Yu Heng with their attacks.


    Yu Heng had apparently expected this and had already activated his Ancient God-Devil Body to resist the attacks.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    A massive gold and silver head began to form over Yu Heng''s hands, exuding a heaven-shaking ancient energy.


    "What is this...?" Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea began to involuntarily tremble in fear. When they saw the eyes of that gold and silver head, they almost instinctively sensed that this was some peerless God-Devil from ancient times looking down upon them.


    "Not good! It will be very difficult for us to block this attack!" Twilight Valley immediately paled. When Yu Heng began to build up the power for this attack, he felt fear emerge in his heart.


    "Run!" Xin Wuheng also sensed the dreadful energy in that gold and silver head.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    The two of them began to flee into the distance.


    A long enough distance could weaken this attack to a certain extent. When the time came, if they used all their power, they might be able to block the attack.


    "Hah, ignorant!" Yu Heng saw Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley fleeing and scornfully smiled.


    Boom!


    He suddenly pushed his hands forward, but his target wasn''t Xin Wuheng or Twilight Valley. It was Zhao Feng.


    "We took the bait!" Twilight Valley and Xin Wuheng were both stunned. Yu Heng''s goal was not the two of them, but Zhao Feng''s group on the other side of the battlefield. The power of Yu Heng''s secret would be able to wipe out that entire side of the battlefield.


    Boom!


    The earth fiercely trembled as an unsurpassed destructive power suddenly descended upon Zhao Feng, Ancient God Cheng Yun, and Ancient God Resplendence. Their bloodlines trembled and they became immobile.


    The gigantic gold and silver head descended, its mouth opening wide and exerting immense suction power. At this moment, even resisting this suction power was incredibly difficult, let alone escaping it


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Cheng Yun''s face quivered in fear.


    Yu Heng''s attack could destroy the heavens. It was simply impossible to escape.


    "No...!" Despair appeared on Ancient God Resplendence''s face. At this moment, she felt like she was an ant about to be crushed by a massive boulder with no hope of survival.


    "Victory still belongs to me." Yu Heng faintly smiled.


    This attack would be able to destroy Zhao Feng, Ancient God Cheng Yun, Ancient God Resplendence, and even the Heaven''s Legacy Cat With all the others slain, Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley would be simply no match.


    "What a powerful attack...." Zhao Feng''s expression became extremely grim.


    God Eye... Illusory Oblivion! Determination appeared in his eyes as he harnessed the Origin energy in his God Eye Dimension.


    Yu Heng''s attack truly was powerful and unstoppable, but Zhao Feng had learned this technique from the ancient figure on that vast and chaotic battlefield. With such a miraculous and heaven-defying power on his side, how could he not try to resist?


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Origin energy in his God Eye Dimension quickly flowed out while the dreamy silver ball continued to expel dreamy mist Zhao Feng''s left eye was constantly shifting colors, and dreamy mist continued to spiral out, vanishing into the surrounding world.


    Zhao Feng''s actions immediately attracted everyone''s attention. This was because Ancient God Destruction Flow''s attack had inexplicably vanished under the exact same circumstances.


    "Hah, at the same level, not even the power of the Eight Great God Eyes can do anything to the Ancient Race, and you want to resist? Haha." Yu Heng instantly began to laugh.


    Zhao Feng ignored Yu Heng and continued to madly accumulate Origin energy. Yu Heng''s attack was extremely powerful, and he was worried that, if he used too little Origin energy, the technique would have no effect.


    Suddenly, everything in Zhao Feng''s vision was covered in a dazzling and wondrous glow, an intoxicating and dreamy paradise.


    "Extinguish!" Zhao Feng''s left eye focused on the gold and silver head.


    Bzzzz!


    A bizarre energy engulfed the head and began to seep into it Brrrooom!


    The massive head was approaching, on the verge of devouring everything.


    But suddenly, with a pop, the head transformed into countless dreamy balls of light and disappeared.


    The rumbling earth became deathly still. Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Cheng Yun, who had been waiting for death, their entire bodies drenched with sweat, stood in a daze, their minds short-circuiting.


    In the distance, Yu Heng''s jaw had dropped and his eyes had glazed over, a look of sheer disbelief on his face.


    "This... impossible!"

 1396 Swindling

    Chapter 1396 - Swindling


    The chaotic and violent world suddenly regained its calm.


    Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, a joyful look on his face. Even he had wondered just now if he could neutralize Yu Heng''s attack.


    "We''re saved?" Ancient God Resplendence broke out of her daze, and she looked with sparkling eyes at Zhao Feng.


    "How did he do it?" Ancient God Cheng Yun muttered in shock.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng''s shoulder and began to dance around as if praising Zhao Feng''s might.


    In the distance:


    "To think... that there would be such a miraculous power!" Xin Wuheng was also in a daze, his mind reeling in shock as he stared at the distant Zhao Feng. He once more understood that, even though he had inherited the strength from his past life, he still might be left behind by Zhao Feng.


    "Could this be the ultimate strength of the Illusion Dao?" Twilight Valley muttered.


    The ultimate strength of the Illusion Dao was to make illusion into reality and turn reality into illusion.


    "How could this be? How did that kid manage to do it?" Ancient God Ice Jade was stunned, unable to believe what she had seen. She was keenly aware of how strong Zhao Feng was before. How could he suddenly get so much stronger?


    "Hurry and kill Ancient God Destruction Flow!" Zhao Feng messaged.


    Thwish!


    The little thieving cat was the first to strike, shooting toward Ancient God Destruction Flow as a gray-silver streak of light. Swoosh!


    A cold and sinister silver dagger plunged into Ancient God Destruction Flow''s chest.


    At the same time, Ancient God Cheng Yun attacked, his palms sending out an endless stream of Time energy blades.


    "Ah...!" Ancient God Destruction Flow immediately began to scream.


    "Chaos Origin God Suppressing Seal!" Zhao Feng circulated a massive amount of Chaos Origin Divine Power into an enormous seal of chaotic silver energy that crushed downward. The mountainous seal was surrounded by a bizarre devouring energy that consumed the various types of energy in the area to strengthen itself.


    Boom! Bang!


    The seal of turbid silver energy crashed down. The enormous and heavy power caused Ancient God Destruction Flow''s body and soul to fiercely tremble, and he vomited blood again and again.


    Bzzz!


    The twisted Chaos Origin energy began to devour his body and soul, bit by bit


    "No...!" Ancient God Destruction Flow wanted to struggle, but he was already severely wounded and incapable of fighting back.


    A few moments later, Ancient God Destruction Flow was completely dead.


    "Didn''t you say that anyone on the same level as yourself, even one of the Eight Great God Eyes, couldn''t do anything to you?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled at Yu Heng.


    "You...!" Yu Heng''s face contorted as he struggled to retort, but he couldn''t manage a response.


    Although Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline was extremely unusual, all the eye-bloodlines in the world originated from the God Eyes. Yu Heng had no defense. In addition, he had consumed special blood that allowed him to recover his bloodline energy and unleash a powerful attack, but this attack had been neutralized by a Rank Nine Ancient God. Yu Heng couldn''t help but be depressed.


    "Ah, but you''re a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. We don''t really want to offend you!" Zhao Feng suddenly changed the topic.


    These words left everyone stupefied and confused.


    "What''s wrong with this kid?"


    "Submitting?"


    Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea were both rather astonished.


    Xin Wuheng also looked strangely at Zhao Feng, unaware of what he was planning.


    "What do you mean?" Yu Heng directly asked.


    Zhao Feng''s awakening, his neutralizing of Yu Heng''s secret art, and his killing of Ancient God Destruction Flow had truly lowered Yu Heng''s chances of victory, increasing the number of variables for the coming battle. But if Zhao Feng withdrew all on his own, Yu Heng had a one hundred percent chance of victory. However, he had a deep desire to kill the thorn in his side that was Zhao Feng as well as capture the Heaven''s Legacy Cat.


    As a mighty member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race possessing the strength of the Ancient Race bloodline, he actually needed a Rank Nine Ancient God to withdraw before he could obtain victory? If his master or the other members of his race were to find out about this, he would be too ashamed to show his face.


    But Zhao Feng was truly too bizarre; he was actually capable of neutralizing his Ancient Race energy. This caused Yu Heng to fall into silent thought


    As Yu Heng fell silent, the Light Race members could no longer sit still. If Zhao Feng withdrew, they would be the ones facing disaster.


    "My apologies, Sirs of the Light Race. I''m just an ordinary Rank Nine Ancient God while the Heaven''s Legacy Race is the 3rd ranked race...." Zhao Feng looked apologetically at the Light Race.


    "This..." For a moment, Twilight Valley didn''t know how to respond.


    Indeed, the Heaven''s Legacy Race was ranked 3rd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, a mythical race that was also responsible for the destruction of the Light Race. As a Rank Nine Ancient God, Zhao Feng truly had no need to fight to the death with the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Moreover, Zhao Feng had displayed abnormal strength, and the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Yu Heng was highly likely to negotiate with Zhao Feng.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat immediately began to gesture at Twilight Valley and the Ancestral Artifact fragment


    "What? You want me to submit to your master...?" The Ancestral Artifact fragment appeared startled.


    The little thieving cat had made this proposal earlier, but the Ancestral Artifact fragment didn''t even pay much regard to God Lords, let alone Ancient Gods. But now, the Ancestral Artifact fragment couldn''t help but take another look at Zhao Feng.


    "This..." Twilight Valley was instantly speechless.


    They had no relationship with Zhao Feng or the Giant God Race and provided them no advantage. There truly was no need for them to put everything on the line to assist the Light Race.


    But the Ancestral Artifact fragment had guarded this place the entire time and was devoted to the Light Race. How could he promise away the Ancestral Artifact fragment over a matter like this?


    "Mm?" Yu Heng''s brow creased as he sensed that something was wrong.


    Suddenly, his eyes flashed. He understood; Zhao Feng had no plans to compromise with him, but rather was intending to swindle something out of the Light Race.


    But at this moment, the Ancestral Artifact fragment suddenly spoke, "Zhao Feng, as long as you help us defeat these people, I am willing to serve you!"


    The Ancestral Artifact frag merit was willing to serve Zhao Feng, but it demanded that Yu Heng and Ancient Soul Hall be defeated first.


    "Ancestral Artifact fragment, I agree to your request!" Zhao Feng put on a look of pleasant surprise mixed together with struggle, as if he found it very hard to resist this enormous temptation and finally decided to agree.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat snickered as if celebrating the success of a plan.


    "Haha, truly laughable! It''s like you think you''re actually going to win!" Yu Heng suddenly began to laugh.


    He just realized that, even if Zhao Feng was able to neutralize his power, this had to come at great cost to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had just neutralized his secret art a moment ago, and he did not believe that Zhao Feng could keep on using this mysterious eye-bloodline technique.


    Thwish!


    After saying that, Yu Heng charged at Zhao Feng.


    "Hand over your life!" Yu Heng''s expression turned harsh and cold, his body seething with killing intent.


    "Not good! Stop him!" Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley immediately charged out.


    Their main hope in dealing with Yu Heng was Zhao Feng. Nothing could be allowed to happen to him.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Twilight Valley was somewhat faster. He rapidly approached Yu Heng and unleashed a blade of Time energy with the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    This blade of Time energy ignored everything and directly appeared behind Yu Heng.


    Boom!


    With a thought from Yu Heng, a gold and silver stream of light erupted from his back and crashed into the blade of Time energy, annihilating it. Meanwhile, he continued to pursue Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng naturally wouldn''t just wait to be killed by Yu Heng.


    Thwish!


    The golden wings on his back began to rapidly move, and he vanished in a streak of golden light


    Truthfully, Zhao Feng really had expended an enormous amount of energy for that God Eye Illusory Oblivion. Aside from the obvious reason, the play he had performed with the little thieving cat was also to buy himself time to recover Origin energy.


    "Kill Zhao Feng first!" Yu Heng roared.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall immediately moved out


    "Chaos Origin Divine Fist!" While Zhao Feng fled, he threw out several fists of chaotic silver energy.


    Meanwhile, Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley set off in pursuit of Yu Heng.


    "Time Slash!" Twilight Valley waved the Ancestral Artifact fragment, creating a long and thin blade of crystalline white light in the air.


    Thwish!


    This blade was several thousand feet long as it hurtled through space.


    Even before it struck, powerful Time energy engulfed Yu Heng and the two half-step God Lords, causing them to slow down.


    "Damn you, Light Race...!" Yu Heng''s expression darkened.


    The Light Race was ranked 7th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races and was extremely difficult to deal with. But Zhao Feng was able to neutralize his attacks, so he needed to kill Zhao Feng first. If he allowed Zhao Feng to recover, he would have an even greater problem on his hands.


    However, Zhao Feng possessed powerful Spacetime Intent and had the Spacetime Robe, a supreme-quality divine artifact, making him one of the fastest people here.


    "Break!" Yu Heng suddenly stopped and waved his palm, shattering the enormous blade of light.


    After dealing with Twilight Valley''s attack, Yu Heng did not continue to pursue. He quietly floated in the air, exuding a tyrannical and scornful aura.


    Swish!


    Another test tube the size of a finger appeared in front of him, gold and silver blood flowing within.


    At the sight of this test tube, Xin Wuheng, Twilight Valley, and Zhao Feng all grimaced. The blood in these test tubes not only allowed Yu Heng to maintain his Ancient Race energy, but also allowed him to explode with even greater strength.


    "It''s over." Yu Heng faintly smiled.


    The attack that he had unleashed before was neutralized by Zhao Feng. This time, after taking this liquid and unleashing another supreme attack, his target would be not Zhao Feng, but Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley. If he could kill either one of them, everything would be over.


    "No! Stop him!" Twilight Valley immediately roared.


    The terrifying power Yu Heng emitted after taking this liquid was not something that either he or Xin Wuheng would be able to block.


    How could this be...? The Heaven''s Legacy Race is truly hard to deal with!" Zhao Feng had a grim expression.


    In this battle, the most formidable person was not any half-step God Lord, nor was it the reincarnated Xin Wuheng or the revived Light Race expert, but the peak Rank Nine Ancient God from the Heaven''s Legacy Race. And Zhao Feng truly did not have the ability to neutralize another one of Yu Heng''s formidable attacks at this time.


    Boom!


    Xin Wuheng''s and Twilight Valley''s attacks surged toward Yu Heng, but Yu Heng was suddenly surrounded by a barrier made up of gold and silver light. Any attack that collided against it would immediately crumble and weaken.


    Cling! Crack!


    The test tube shattered, the gold and silver blood flowing into Yu Heng''s mouth.


    "Oh no!" Xin Wuheng''s expression dimmed. Now that Yu Heng had taken this liquid, his strength would reach unprecedented levels. Even he felt like retreating now.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Cheng Yun felt like the world had become pitch-black. They only just emerged from the darkness before being plunged back in once more.


    "No, this can''t be allowed!" Zhao Feng activated his left eye and focused on Yu Heng.


    God Eye Illusory Oblivion! Zhao Feng gathered all the Origin energy that he could in his left eye.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Layer after layer of dreamy mist seeped into the world. In a flash, everything in Zhao Feng''s vision was covered in dreamy and beautiful colors.


    "That is...?" Zhao Feng''s gaze froze. He saw a strange and dreamy liquid in Yu Heng''s mouth, flowing down his throat


    It''s you...! Extinguish for me! Zhao Feng focused his thoughts on that liquid covered in dreamy light


    Whoosh!


    A moment later, that strange liquid collapsed and disappeared. Zhao Feng''s vision then returned to normal.


    "Eh!?" Yu Heng licked his lips and shouted in alarm. What happened to the medicine I just took?

 1397 Struggle

    Chapter 1397 - Struggle


    "It really worked!" Zhao Feng was elated.


    He was just making an attempt, not expecting it to actually succeed.


    One had to realize that Yu Heng still had the defense of the Ancient Race energy around him, and something in his mouth could essentially be considered a part of his body. Even without the space-sealing array, Zhao Feng would have found it very difficult to remove that liquid from Yu Heng''s mouth using Spatial Shift. The power of the Ancient Race could even easily shatter the Time energy of the Light Race, let alone Zhao Feng''s Spatial Shift.


    But the God Eye Illusory Oblivion had succeeded in entering Yu Heng''s body and obliterating that liquid.


    "Eh? What''s going on?"


    Everyone stared at Yu Heng. They expected Yu Heng to be laughing out loud as he unleashed his tremendous Ancient Race energy, but at this moment, he had a look of shocked anger.


    "Yu Heng, what''s wrong?" Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea looked in alarm at Yu Heng. They were expecting Yu Heng to explode with power after taking the medicine, but there was nothing from Yu Heng.


    "Zhao Feng!" Yu Heng suddenly turned to Zhao Feng, his eyes spewing flame.


    Everyone had been preparing to flee just now, with only Zhao Feng focusing his left eye on his body and using that mysterious eye-bloodline technique. At the start, he had not paid this much attention; he never would''ve expected that Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique would be able to break through his defenses and make that medicine he just took disappear without him noticing.


    "This can''t be...." Yu Heng''s expression was rather agitated.


    Zhao Feng had earlier neutralized the lethal attack he spent so much time accumulating energy for, and now, he had even made his medicine disappear. Moreover, that was his final tube of medicine.


    Plush!


    When he thought of this, Yu Heng immediately vomited blood. Not since he began cultivating had he ever suffered such a loss at the hands of an outsider.


    "That kid did it?" Twilight Valley couldn''t help but glance at Zhao Feng. He had sensed a powerful ancient energy and a pulse of Eye Intent from Zhao Feng''s left eye a moment ago.


    "Good job!" Xin Wuheng faintly smiled.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll tear your corpse to pieces!" Yu Heng suddenly roared, and he charged at Zhao Feng with a tinge of madness on his face.


    Zhao Feng had time and time again upset his plans. Yu Heng put aside the Ancestral Artifact fragment and was now focused on killing Zhao Feng.


    "Hurry and stop him!" Twilight Valley immediately yelled, and then he charged out with Xin Wuheng.


    Zhao Feng was a major contributor to this battle, his bizarre eye-bloodline techniques carrying the day time and time again. He could not be allowed to be killed.


    "Time Slash!" Twilight Valley waved the Ancestral Artifact fragment, creating a long and thin blade of crystalline white light in the air.


    But when this blade of crystalline white light formed, there was a hint of instability.


    "It seems like I''ve really gotten old." Twilight Valley''s body of flowing white light was slightly pale, and there was a trickle of blood flowing down the corner of his lips.


    He had only recently been revived, and his body was already burdened with heavy injuries. His battles with Yu Heng only added to his injuries and had left him incredibly exhausted.


    Thwish!


    Twilight Valley sent the blade of flowing light slashing at Yu Heng.


    Xin Wuheng''s attack arrived at the same moment A gigantic palm made of five energy vortices rumbled through the air, destroying everything in its path.


    "Scram!" Yu Heng roared, unleashing a frenzied burst of Ancient Race energy.


    The heavens darkened and the earth rumbled.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Twilight Valley''s Time Slash and Xin Wuheng''s Five Elements Law-Shattering Palm were both crushed by this tyrannical energy.


    Yu Heng, his eyes bloodshot, charged at Zhao Feng.


    "What''s going on? He seems to have gotten even stronger!" Fear could be seen in Ancient God Resplendence''s eyes.


    "His mind is unclear, and he can''t control the Ancient Race energy!" Twilight Valley stared at Yu Heng and concluded.


    "This should be a side effect of the bloodline, coupled with Zhao Feng''s provocations," Xin Wuheng analyzed.


    Every time one used the Ancient Race energy, one would experience immense side effects afterward. Yu Heng had used the Ancient Race energy twice, taking medicine to extract more energy and increase the time he could maintain the bloodline. This caused him to experience the side effects even while the bloodline energy still remained. And Zhao Feng''s provocations had caused even Yu Heng''s mental state to be affected.


    "Zhao Feng, die!" Yu Heng''s eyes were bloodshot, and gold-silver blood was also beginning to seep out of his massive body. That tyrannical Ancient Race energy was constantly leaking out, wreaking havoc throughout the world.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng fled through the world, quickly leaving Yu Heng behind.


    "His bloodline energy is fading!" Zhao Feng used the God''s Spiritual Eye to observe Yu Heng.


    Behind Yu Heng, Twilight Valley and Xin Wuheng were in dogged pursuit, constantly launching attacks. This was to slow Yu Heng down and also to expend Yu Heng''s bloodline energy.


    "Not good! Yu Heng''s situation is getting worse!" Ancient God Jailsea called out.


    "The only thing we can do is try and stop Zhao Feng," Ancient God Ice Jade said after some thought


    If they could hold down Zhao Feng, Yu Heng would be able to easily kill him. This would allow him to regain his sanity and give them a little hope.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall approached from another direction. Once they got in front of Zhao Feng, they began to try and stop him.


    "Frigid Ice Mountain!"


    "Darkwater Jail Dragon!"


    The two of them used powerful combat skills, sending a giant dragon and a massive mountain of ice at Zhao Feng.


    "Scram!" Zhao Feng roared as he gathered his Chaos Origin Divine Power, unleashing fist after fist made up of dark silver energy.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun and the little thieving cat also assisted him in fending off these attacks.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The collision of these attacks caused the heavens to shake.


    "This kid has enough strength now to contend against me!?" Ancient God Jailsea stared at Zhao Feng, a nasty expression on his face and revulsion in his heart.


    Back then, Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng working together needed to use their trump cards to defeat him, but now, Zhao Feng could now display power comparable to a half-step God Lord alone.


    "Kill!" At this moment, Yu Heng came up from behind. However, his bloodline energy was much weaker than it was before.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng aimed at Yu Heng''s head and fired off a Tribulation Lightning flame from his left eye.


    Kacrack!


    Countless bolts of lightning immediately exploded against Yu Heng''s head.


    At the same time, Twilight Valley slashed at Yu Heng''s head with a blade of white crystal.


    "Giant God Finger!" Xin Wuheng circulated his bloodline energy, Divine Power, and his understanding of Law, and thrust out with his finger.


    For a moment, Yu Heng''s body was completely engulfed by these attacks.


    But Yu Heng still had his Ancient God-Devil Body. This perfect physical body prevented ninety percent of the damage done to Yu Heng.


    When the explosions scattered, Yu Heng charged out, but his target was not Zhao Feng.


    "Retreat!" Yu Heng called out to Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea.


    That barrage of attacks had caused Yu Heng to regain his sanity. His Ancient Race energy was gradually weakening, and in a direct battle, he no longer had a chance of victory.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The two half-step God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall naturally understood that the situation was not good, so they retreated together with Yu Heng.


    "After them!" Zhao Feng called out as he took off in pursuit.


    Although Yu Heng had regained his sanity, the Ancient Race energy was continuing to rapidly fade away.


    "The two of you, watch my back while I get in touch with my master!" Yu Heng said as he fled.


    Once his Ancient Race energy completely ran out, they would probably all die here.


    "Okay!" Looks of joy appeared on the faces of Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea.


    The Ancestral Legacy Treasury was too far away from Ancient Soul Hall''s base. Ordinary methods of communication could never work. However, it seemed Yu Heng had a way to get in touch with his master.


    Yu Heng''s master was God Lord Stellar Aspect, also a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and a person of many abilities. As long as Yu Heng could get in touch with this person, they still had some hope.


    Swish!


    Yu Heng waved his hand, and a black figure appeared. This figure was rather large, and its body was made entirely of metal. It exuded the energy of a half-step God Lord.


    "Is that an automaton?" Ancient God Jailsea''s eyes brightened.


    Automatons normally didn''t have any vitality and were controlled by another, but this black figure possessed an intense vitality.


    "That is... a Death God Guard of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Twilight Valley''s expression darkened.


    No one else could compare to the Heaven''s Legacy Race when it came to automaton technology, but automatons also had many flaws. For example, the high-power automatons were expensive to build and were not very quick-witted, making them weaker than experts of the same level.


    However, the Death God Guards produced by the Heaven''s Legacy Race were a fusion of life and machinery, bestowing the advantages of both and making them incredibly strong.


    "Stop them!" Yu Heng ordered, and then he took out a silver jade token.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    His fingers began to move across it, carving strange words onto its surface.


    "Not good! That''s a special communication method used by the Heaven''s Legacy Race! He must be trying to get in touch with other members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Twilight Valley grimaced at this sight


    One Yu Heng was hard enough to deal with. If even more Heaven''s Legacy Race members arrived, he didn''t dare to imagine the consequences.


    A group of people stood in an independent dimension. In front of them were two complex Heaven''s Legacy arrays.


    "God Lord Stellar Aspect, my Ancient Soul Hall only has Ancient God Ice Jade and Ancient God Jailsea left!" God Lord Gloomheaven said in agitation.


    At this point, Ancient Soul Hall had lost three peak Rank Eights, three Rank Nines, and one half-step God Lord.


    "Yu Heng, just what are you doing? Why haven''t you contacted your master!?" God Lord Stellar Aspect''s expression was grim.


    Yu Heng was his disciple, so he was naturally aware of his abilities. Logically speaking, Yu Heng should be unrivaled in that dimension, so how could they have sustained such heavy losses?


    "Damn, this Destiny energy...!" God Lord Stellar Aspect was suffering from the effects of Destiny energy, so he could not determine Yu Heng''s current condition.


    "I will now begin preparing to activate the teleportation array again. This time, this old man will personally go!" God Lord Stellar Aspect''s expression was exceptionally grave as he went up to the teleportation array and began to repair it.


    All the members of Ancient Soul Hall present were stunned.


    "This... if you need anything, you only need to ask!" God Lord Gloomheaven''s expression slightly relaxed.


    All of them knew just how many resources were needed to activate this array. And this time, they were sending over a God Lord, making the price even more terrifying.

 1398 Only One Person Lef

    Chapter 1398 - Only One Person Left


    "Not good! That''s a special communication method used by the Heaven''s Legacy Race! He must be trying to get in touch with other members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Twilight Valley grimaced at this sight


    One Yu Heng was hard enough to deal with. If even more Heaven''s Legacy Race members arrived, he didn''t dare to imagine the consequences.


    "We have to stop it!" Xin Wuheng''s eyes were determined.


    Whoosh!


    Yu Heng''s group of three and the Death God Guard continued to remain within the space-sealing array as they flew. They knew that, the moment they left the array, the Light Race''s Twilight Valley and Zhao Feng would be able to use Instant Movement.


    "You guys hold down the others while I go after Yu Heng and stop him!" Twilight Valley messaged to the others.


    "Okay!" Everyone else agreed.


    Twilight Valley was a member of the Light Race, making him the fastest and strongest person on their side. He had the greatest chances of emerging victorious against Yu Heng.


    Whoosh!


    The rest of the group charged toward Ancient God Jailsea, Ancient God Ice Jade, and the Death God Guard.


    "Five Elements Suppression!" Xin Wuheng fused Law energy into his body and immediately unleashed a formidable suppression domain. The three enemies instantly felt a powerful weight that made it difficult for them to move.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng rushed toward Ancient God Jailsea.


    "Flame Soul Devil Eye!" A scorching Illusion Dao energy descended on Ancient God Jailsea''s soul.


    Ancient God Jailsea immediately felt like his soul was aflame. At the same time, his mindset became extremely unsettled, countless negative emotions surging out


    "Chaos Origin God Suppressing Seal!" Zhao Feng quickly gathered his Chaos Origin Divine Power into a massive dark seal that pressed down on Ancient God Jailsea.


    "This scoundrel...!" Ancient God Jailsea was shocked and infuriated.


    In his first clash with Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng needed to join together with Xin Wuheng in order to fight back against him. But now, Zhao Feng could fight him alone. Although he didn''t want to, he was forced to admit that Zhao Feng was extremely powerful and possessed the strength of a half-step God Lord.


    The massive seal was about to stomp down upon him.


    "Imprisoning Hell Sea!" At the critical moment, Ancient God Jailsea''s body swelled and transformed into a sea of black waves. In this state, he both minimized the effect of illusion arts while also massively boosting his defense.


    "This move again?" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    In his first encounter with the Ancient Soul Race, his foe used a similar technique. This bloodline secret art of the Ancient Soul Race could convert the soul into an attack technique. It was incredibly powerful, as it could directly attack an enemy''s soul, but failure would cause heavy injuries for the user.


    "Suppress!" Zhao Feng controlled the enormous seal and slammed it into the black waves.


    The seal was surrounded by a strange force field that devoured surrounding energy, including the black waves that Ancient God Jailsea had transformed into. The Chaos Origin God Suppressing Seal with this devouring ability only got stronger as time went on, and it was able to firmly suppress Ancient God Jailsea.


    God Eye Disintegration! Zhao Feng''s left eye unleashed a dreamy mist that immediately began to analyze Ancient God Jailsea''s black waves.


    Suddenly, the black waves inexplicably began to disappear, starting from the edge.


    "What''s going on...? That move again!" Ancient God Jailsea was stunned at first, and then he bellowed in fury.


    He had experienced Zhao Feng''s God Eye Disintegration before, but as Zhao Feng got stronger and stronger and his God''s Spiritual Eye further evolved, this move also increased in power.


    Boom!


    At the same time, the Chaos Origin God Suppressing Seal slammed down.


    "No...!" The combination of these attacks immediately had an effect, and Ancient God Jailsea began to scream.


    Ancient God Jailsea wanted to fight back, but he realized that his strength was withering away.


    "How could this be!? How could his eye-bloodline be this powerful!?" Ancient God Jailsea stared at Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    At this moment, the blood in his body began to fiercely tremble.


    Whoosh!


    The massive sea of black waves gradually shrunk until only a small stream was left.


    "Die!" Under Zhao Feng''s control, the seal pressed down once more.


    Rumble!


    The Chaos Origin Divine Power devoured while the God Eye Disintegration suppressed. That final stream of black water disappeared.


    "Haha, a half-step God Lord...!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled. This was the first time he had managed to kill a half-step God Lord on his own.


    Once Ancient God Jailsea was dealt with, Zhao Feng turned to the other side.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Ancient God Resplendence and Ancient God Cheng Yun were working together to assault Ancient God Ice Jade.


    "The two of you think you can deal with me?" Ancient God Ice Jade coldly snorted as she slapped her hand on the Deep Chill Pearl.


    "Deep Ice Annihilation!"


    The Deep Chill Pearl fired off a surge of extremely frigid snow that froze everything in its path, including the Time energy in ʲle air.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Ice Jade''s Soul Beast joined together with this surge of snow. The black shark immediately became gray-white. Wrapped in that frigid snow, it charged at Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    "Damn! This woman has a supreme-quality divine artifact!" Ancient God Cheng Yun clenched his teeth and gathered up Time energy into a white shield.


    Bing! Crackcrack!


    The gray-white shark struck the white shield and immediately pulverized it The Time energy that made up this shield swiftly began to slow down the white shark''s charge, but that astonishing cold energy pierced through the white shield and began to affect Ancient God Cheng Yun and Ancient God Resplendence, causing their bodies and souls to shiver.


    "The two of them won''t be able to last for long." Zhao Feng''s gaze darkened as he began to activate his left eye.


    Ancient God Ice Jade had always been the strongest of Ancient Soul Hall''s three half-step God Lords, and with her supreme-quality divine artifact, she was even more able to dominate Ancient God Cheng Yun and Ancient God Resplendence, leaving them helpless against her.


    "The two of you are no match for me!" Ancient God Ice Jade laughed as she unleashed even more power from the Deep Chill Pearl.


    Roooooar!


    The gray-white shark howled, emitting a freezing energy throughout the world. Cling! Crack!


    The white shield that Ancient God Cheng Yun was doing his utmost to maintain rapidly froze and then shattered. "The two of you, die together!" Ancient God Ice Jade sneered.


    At this moment:


    "Heh, the one to die will be you." A soft chuckle came from behind her.


    God Eye Duplication: Deep Ice Annihilation!


    A massive silver eye appeared behind Ancient God Ice Jade, exuding a powerful ancient bloodline energy that made Ancient God Ice Jade''s soul tremble.


    Bzzzz!


    Dreamy mist billowed out, and then a gray-white shark suddenly charged out of the mist, shrouded in a massive ice storm.


    As it turned out, while Ancient God Cheng Yun was fending off Ancient God Ice Jade''s attack, Zhao Feng started using God Eye Duplication on it. Because he didn''t have much Origin energy, Zhao Feng had needed some more time, but he managed to succeed.


    "Zhao Feng? No...!" Ancient God Ice Jade immediately screamed in terror.


    But it was all too late; the gray-white shark opened its savage maw and swallowed Ancient God Ice Jade whole.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng immediately approached, using his Spacetime Robe to resist the incredible cold, and took the Deep Chill Pearl.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun and Ancient God Resplendence had no objection to Zhao Feng taking the spoils of victory.


    While Zhao Feng was killing Ancient God Ice Jade, on the other end, Xin Wuheng was using his supreme strength to force the Death God Guard into a position of passive defense.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng immediately fired off a Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame.


    Zhao Feng could now use this eye-bloodline technique as he pleased, and it moved with incredible speed.


    "Hiss...!" The Death God Guard immediately shrieked. It already found Xin Wuheng hard enough to deal with, and Zhao Feng intervening was piling disaster on disaster.


    "Die!" Xin Wuheng condensed his bloodline energy and Divine Power and thrust out with his finger, destroying the Death God Guard in both body and soul.


    "Brother Zhao, your eye-bloodline seems to have gotten even stronger." Xin Wuheng faintly smiled, and then he glanced at Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "Your eye-bloodline doesn''t seem to be as simple as it looks," Ancient God Cheng Yun solemnly said.


    Earlier, the domineering energy of the Ancient Race bloodline drowned out all the other bloodline energies, and the Light Race and Giant God Race were also present, so no one had noticed that Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline had gotten stronger. Now, however, Yu Heng''s bloodline energy was fading away, and the Light Race''s bloodline energy had also begun to fade after being exhausted through the long period of fighting. Only now could Zhao Feng''s powerful bloodline energy be sensed.


    It''s close to the bloodline energies of the top ten ancient races! After sensing this energy, Ancient God Cheng Yun was shocked.


    Brrrooom!


    A deafening explosion came from the distance.


    "No...!" Following it was Yu Heng''s furious and unwilling roar.


    "Haha, Heaven''s Legacy Race, you''re finished!" Twilight Valley laughed.


    Everyone couldn''t help but look, and they saw that Yu Heng''s attempt to send a message had been stopped by Twilight Valley.


    However, Twilight Valley now seemed extremely weak; his body composed of flowing streams of light had dimmed. It was apparent that he had paid no small price to destroy Yu Heng''s communication method.


    But it was all worth it Not only had he stopped Yu Heng, but the others had also won a major victory on the other side of the battlefield. Ancient God Jailsea, Ancient God Ice Jade, and the Death God Guard had all been killed.


    "All dead?" Yu Heng scanned the area in shock. He was the only one left, and only a sliver of his Ancient Race bloodline remained.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race...!" Twilight Valley''s gaze became exceptionally vicious as his palm slashed down, releasing a blade of Time energy.


    Swish!


    A round metal shield appeared in Yu Heng''s hand. The golden shield immediately released a powerful barrier of golden light, creating a protective dome around Yu Heng.


    Clingclang!


    The Time energy blade cut against the golden dome, and after cutting open a crack with great difficulty, it was finally able to get in. But its remaining power was so weak that Yu Heng was able to obliterate it.


    "Supreme-quality divine artifact!" Zhao Feng was taken aback. Yu Heng truly had many valuable objects on his person.


    But what was the point in taking out a supreme-quality divine artifact now? He was all alone now, and his Ancient Race bloodline energy had almost entirely disappeared.


    Whoosh!


    The group began to approach Yu Heng.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race, you''ve lost this time!" Ancient God Cheng Yun couldn''t help but laugh.


    Everyone surrounded Yu Heng, their eyes cold, harsh, and brimming with killing intent.


    "Damn! The Heaven''s Legacy Race won''t let you go!" Yu Heng grimly swept his eyes over this group.


    He had never imagined that, as a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race with the power of the Ancient Race, he would actually lose to this group.

 1399 All Exterminated

    Chapter 1399 - All Exterminated


    "Damn! The Heaven''s Legacy Race won''t let you go!" Yu Heng grimly swept his eyes over this group.


    He had never imagined that, as a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race with the power of the Ancient Race, he would actually lose to this group.


    "Zhao Feng, for ruining my plans, you won''t die a good death!" Yu Heng''s eyes fell on Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was almost entirely the reason for his defeat this time.


    "You should worry about yourself first." Zhao Feng''s expression was cold and indifferent His grudge with Yu Heng was set, so Yu Heng could not be allowed to live.


    "Heh, even if I die, I won''t let you get off lightly!" Yu Heng suddenly sneered.


    He suddenly mobilized all the Ancient Race bloodline energy left in his body and began to form a spell with his hands.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    One translucent Heaven''s Legacy Race word after another, infused with mysterious and unfathomable power, began to emerge.


    "What is he doing?" Xin Wuheng grimaced.


    Although only Yu Heng was left, he was a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, so none of them had ever looked down on him.


    Zhao Feng also had an ill foreboding and began to cautiously back up. It wasn''t just Zhao Feng either; everyone else began to back up while staring at Yu Heng so that he didn''t use some secret technique to escape.


    "Haha, Heaven''s Legacy Cat, where do you think you''re going?" Yu Heng savagely grinned.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The translucent Heaven''s Legacy Race words flew with incredible speed into the little thieving cat''s body.


    "Little thieving cat!" Zhao Feng immediately called out in alarm. He never expected Yu Heng to make a move against the little thieving cat.


    Everyone else also couldn''t help but stare at the little thieving cat.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat''s body dropped to the ground, where it began to howl and scream. A brand of Heaven''s Legacy Race words slowly began to form on its forehead, and then the brand slowly began to ignite.


    "Little thieving cat!?" Zhao Feng called out in alarm. This was the first time he had ever heard such miserable screams from the little thieving cat, and he could sense its pain through the contract they shared.


    "What are you doing to it!?" Zhao Feng angrily eyed Yu Heng, his left eye turning.


    "Heh, I advise you not to do anything to me." Yu Heng coldly laughed, not worried at all.


    Meowmeow!


    As the little thieving cat shrieked, it slowly walked toward Yu Heng. It was as if the little thieving cat''s master had changed from Zhao Feng to Yu Heng.


    This sight left everyone stunned.


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Cat happens to be the crystallization of my Heaven''s Legacy Race''s knowledge. In order to restrain this powerful force, the Heaven''s Legacy Race placed certain restraints within its body during its development," Yu Heng rather proudly said.


    Originally, he had been planning to use this secret art to capture the Heaven''s Legacy Cat after he killed everyone else. Unexpectedly, he was now compelled to use this move to save his life.


    "There was even something like that?" Zhao Feng''s expression was wrathful.


    Of course, such a thing was completely in line with the style of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. For example, the majority of important Heaven''s Legacy Race buildings were equipped to self-destruct.


    "If you attack me, then I''ll kill the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" Yu Heng stared at Zhao Feng, his eyes ruthless.


    Zhao Feng stared at Yu Heng, but he did not strike. The little thieving cat had accompanied him ever since the Broken Moon Clan, and they had experienced countless trials together, all the way to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. How could Zhao Feng stand to kill the little thieving cat?


    However, Yu Heng had clearly taken control of the little thieving cat with the intention to escape. Zhao Feng might not be able to strike because of the little thieving cat, but the Light Race would never let Yu Heng go. Did that mean that he would have to join with the Giant God Race to deal with the Light Race?


    "Hmph, if something happens to me, the Heaven''s Legacy Cat will be buried with me!" Yu Heng coldly laughed as he stood up and began to slowly retreat.


    The Giant God Race members remained motionless.


    As for the Light Race members, they stared at Yu Heng, hesitation in their eyes.


    Haha, Heaven''s Legacy Cat, let''s go." Yu Heng laughed as he began to leave with the little thieving cat.


    Originally, Yu Heng just wanted to bring a victim along with himself in death so that Zhao Feng would be left dejected, but the little thieving cat apparently had an extremely high status in Zhao Feng''s heart, and Zhao Feng appeared to have inordinate influence at this time. Neither the Giant God Race nor the Light Race were willing to recklessly act.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat struggled with all its might, but the more it struggled, the more intense the white flame on its forehead became. It seemed to be burning every cell in its body along with its soul.


    The little thieving cat looked at Zhao Feng, helplessness, pain, and a plea for help in its eyes. Zhao Feng was feeling no better as he looked back.


    I wonder... if I can use God Eye Illusory Oblivion to neutralize this technique! Zhao Feng suddenly had an idea.


    "You dare attack me!?" In the distance, Yu Heng, who was just preparing to leave, suddenly grimaced and yelled. But when he realized that Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique was not aimed at him, but at the little thieving cat, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    Bzzzz!


    A dreamy mist began to spiral out of Zhao Feng''s left eye, vanishing into the world.


    "Such a powerful ancient energy! This kid''s eye is nearing the God Eye level!" Yu Heng''s expression dimmed.


    Previously, with his Ancient Race bloodline, he had paid little regard to any other bloodline, but it was precisely because of Zhao Feng''s absurd eye-bloodline techniques that he had been defeated so badly. At this moment, he finally paid attention to Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline.


    "Heh, I don''t believe that you still have the strength to use that mysterious eye-bloodline technique." Yu Heng chortled.


    The words had barely left his mouth when Yu Heng realized that he didn''t quite believe them. Logically speaking, Zhao Feng had expended so much energy that he shouldn''t have enough left to dispel the secret art he was using to control the Heaven''s Legacy Cat However, Zhao Feng had given him too many surprises.


    "Stop now, or else I kill the Heaven''s Legacy Cat!" Yu Heng yelled.


    But Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique had already begun, and the entire world had become a fantastical paradise before his eyes. Zhao Feng''s mind was completely focused on the blazing brand on the little thieving cat''s forehead.


    "Extinguish!" Zhao Feng summoned his Origin energy and poured it all into that mysterious flame.


    Bzzzz!


    The flame flickered, but it was not extinguished and continued to slowly burn.


    It''s no good! My previous battles expended too much Origin energy. I can''t dispel it! Zhao Feng''s eyes dimmed, a tinge of disappointment within them.


    "Haha, a pointless gesture." Yu Heng immediately laughed.


    The others present lightly shook their heads. Meanwhile, Twilight Valley of the Light Race began to gather Divine Power, already reaching the limits of his restraint


    No, I have to save the little thieving cat! Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed with determination, and he once more focused his left eye on the mysterious flame.


    If I can''t dispel you, it should be enough to weaken your power! Zhao Feng said to himself.


    His Origin energy wasn''t enough to dispel it, but was it enough to suppress and weaken the flame? As long as he could weaken the flame, the little thieving cat might be able to put up some resistance.


    Weaken... weaken! Zhao Feng focused all his thoughts on the flame as he roared out in his mind.


    Zhao Feng had learned God Eye Illusory Oblivion from elsewhere, and not even he was sure if it could be used in this fashion. But this was all he could do at this time.


    He only had one thought in his mind - the desire for the flame to weaken and shrink.


    Bzzzz!


    The dreamy silver ball in his God Eye Dimension suddenly shook.


    Suddenly, at this moment, the flame on the little thieving cat''s forehead was suddenly painted in a rainbow of colors, and the flame weakened as if water had been dumped on it The flame that was the size of a baby''s fist was now only the size of a fingernail.


    "Success?" Zhao Feng found it rather hard to believe.


    He had not fully performed the God Eye Illusory Oblivion, nor had he used any other special eye-bloodline technique, but the flame truly had weakened as he desired.


    This is far too absurd. Could this be the Origin Dao of the God''s Spiritual Eye?


    "Eh? This... what''s going on?" Yu Heng naturally noticed this development, and he immediately blurted out in shock. Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat immediately felt the pain decrease, and it seemed like the control had weakened. Thwish!


    The little thieving cat transformed into a gray-silver light and immediately began to fly toward Zhao Feng.


    No... don''t go!" Yu Heng paled.


    Once the little thieving cat got a certain distance from Yu Heng, the flame on its forehead suddenly went out As it turned out, the secret art controlling the Heaven''s Legacy Cat was only effective within a certain distance.


    "Good!" Twilight Valley immediately yelled. Although he didn''t know how Zhao Feng did it, the Heaven''s Legacy Cat had been saved.


    And now, everyone could even more keenly sense the powerful ancient aura of Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye.


    "Kill!" Twilight Valley growled and prepared to attack.


    "Let me kill him!" Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    Once Twilight Valley agreed, Zhao Feng used Instant Movement.


    Swish!


    They had left the range of the space-sealing array by now, so Zhao Feng used Instant Movement to directly arrive at Yu Heng¡¯s side.


    "Impossible! How could your eye be this powerful!?" Yu Heng had gone slightly insane as he roared. The strength displayed by Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye exceeded everything he knew.


    "Nine Lightning Soul Refinement!" Zhao Feng took out the Nine Lightning Sou²·Refining Mirror and poured in Divine Power. Swish!


    Nine lightning chains immediately shot out of the mirror and wrapped around Yu Heng''s soul.


    At this point, Yu Heng was only a peak Rank Nine burdened with heavy injuries. In this incredibly feeble state, he was no match for the power of a supreme-quality divine artifact


    "Your eye is nearing the God Eye level, yet all the eye-bloodlines in the world originate from the Eight Great God Eyes. But your eye..." As his death approached, Yu Heng stared at Zhao Feng''s left eye, his mind whirring.


    "No... could your eye be the Ninth-!?" Yu Heng suddenly thought of something and yelled.


    "Collect!" Zhao Feng activated the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    Clingling!


    The nine chains pulled Yu Heng''s soul into the mirror.


    "I''ll have you taste the torment of boundless lightning!" Zhao Feng growled.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat appeared on Zhao Feng''s shoulder and began to rub itself against his neck.


    "Dead...." Twilight Valley sighed.


    Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. This battle had been incredibly dangerous. Fortunately, they managed to win.


    At this moment, in the Chixing Zone, the face of God Lord Stellar Aspect, who was in the middle of repairing the Teleportation Array, suddenly twisted in rage. His entire body began to shake while a trickle of blood flowed down the corner of his lips.

 1400 Big Lazy Ca

    t


    Chapter 1400 - Big Lazy Cat


    "God Lord Stellar Aspect, all the members of my Ancient Soul Hall have been killed...." God Lord Gloomheaven''s body trembled as he softly whispered.


    The peak Rank Eights and Rank Nines were secondary. The important part was that all three half-step God Lords had been lost Almost everyone who managed to become a half-step God Lord had some hope of becoming a God Lord.


    The air was extremely oppressive, and everyone was shivering in fear. Just how dangerous was this Ancestral Legacy Treasury such that everyone who went in, even three half-step God Lords, had been killed? Quite a few people who vied for a spot on the team were counting themselves lucky that they hadn''t gone in to send themselves to their deaths.


    "My disciple has also suffered disaster!" God Lord Stellar Aspect called out


    God Lord Gloomheaven''s expression slightly relaxed upon hearing this. Someone who could be God Lord Stellar Aspect''s disciple had to also be a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. In that case, God Lord Stellar Aspect had lost much more than Ancient Soul Hall.


    However, if God Lord Gloomheaven knew that Yu Heng also possessed the Ancient Race bloodline, he would have understood that Yu Heng was worth the entirety of Ancient Soul Hall.


    "Just what sort of place is this Ancestral Legacy Treasury? How could it be so dangerous?" God Lord Gloomheaven bluntly asked.


    He sensed that there was some abnormal secret about this Ancestral Legacy Treasury. Otherwise, the Heaven''s Legacy Race would not have regarded it with such importance.


    The surrounding Ancient Soul Hall members immediately focused their minds and prepared to hear the answer.


    "The Ancestral Legacy Treasury you speak of is actually a Divine Kingdom belonging to the Light Race. It was just that it later on fell into the hands of the Giant God Race," God Lord Stellar Aspect simply explained.


    "Divine Kingdom?" The majority of the Ancient Soul Hall members were taken aback by this answer.


    The predecessor to a Divine Kingdom was a Little World.


    Little Worlds were far too simple and fragile. As one''s cultivation increased, they gradually lost their use. But once one reached the God Lord level, one could harness the power of a Law to modify and reconstruct a Little World into a Divine Kingdom.


    "So that''s what''s going on!" God Lord Gloomheaven was stunned. He finally understood why the Heaven''s Legacy Race cared so much about this place - it was a Light Race Divine Kingdom. Swish!


    A damaged supreme-quality God Crystal appeared in God Lord Stellar Aspect''s hand.


    There were still more? God Lord Gloomheaven quietly clicked his tongue.


    "This still isn''t enough. Sending over a God Lord requires too much power! Call over another God Lord. We three God Lords will combine our strength...!" God Lord Stellar Aspect bellowed.


    At this moment, he was impatient to leave.


    Next to the Tree of Time, everyone had entered their own cultivation dimensions to recover from their wounds. Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley, who had served as the main force and had repeatedly used God Lord level energy, were particularly exhausted. If they did not properly adjust their conditions, their progress would be hindered in the future.


    In the Spacetime Robe''s dimension:


    Swish! Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out several resources that could recover the divine body and soul and consumed them. He then split his mind into two.


    One part of his mind began to digest the harvest from this major battle.


    In this battle, he had fought with half-step God Lords and the Ancient-Race-bloodline-infused Yu Heng, and he had gained much from these fights. The most obvious was that Zhao Feng had deepened his understanding of various intents, significantly increasing their power. If he digested everything he had comprehended, he would be able to essentially stabilize his Rank Nine cultivation.


    The second part of his mind was used to inspect the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    He remembered that, when saving the little thieving cat, his God Eye Illusory Oblivion had not actually succeeded, and he had not used any other eye-bloodline technique. Despite that, the mysterious flame on the little thieving cat''s forehead truly had weakened. Although Zhao Feng still wasn''t clear on the reason, he was certain that it was related to his left eye.


    "Let''s try!" With a thought, Zhao Feng created a ball of fierce red flame in the air. He then began to circulate Origin energy, upon which dreamy mist began to spiral out of his left eye and fuse into the surrounding space.


    In a flash, the world in front of Zhao Feng became dazzling and brilliant. Every object was covered in dreamy colors. Even the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon in the distance appeared like a rainbow-colored serpent dragon.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye focused on the ball of multicolored flame in the air. This time, Zhao Feng did not use the God Eye Illusory Oblivion, he only stared at the flame.


    But after some time, the flame still burned in the air, showing no change whatsoever.


    "How could this be?" Zhao Feng was rather confused.


    Earlier, he had only stared at the mysterious flame on the thieving cat''s forehead without using any sort of eye-bloodline technique, and the flame suddenly weakened, so why wasn''t that possible now?


    "Right, maybe it has to do with my thoughts!" Zhao Feng suddenly had an idea.


    Other than focusing all his mind on that mysterious flame, he also had a single thought in his mind, hoping with all his might that the mysterious flame would weaken.


    "Was it because of that thought?" Zhao Feng found the idea somewhat preposterous.


    For the mysterious flame to suddenly weaken just because he hoped that it would seemed too inconceivable. But since there was nothing else suspicious, he could only try.


    Zhao Feng once more focused on the ball of flame.


    Weaken... weaken.... he constantly thought in his mind.


    Suddenly, something shocking took place.


    Whoosh!


    The ball of flame in the air shrunk to half its size.


    "Is that really what''s going on?" Zhao Feng was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic. After using his Origin energy, he could modify an object with just a thought!


    "Let''s try again!" Zhao Feng once more gathered his mind and thoughts on the ball of fire.


    Extinguish... extinguish.... This time, Zhao Feng hoped that the flame would go out.


    Just as expected, without any warning, the ball of flame ceased to be.


    "It''s true!" Zhao Feng stood in a daze.


    To think that there would be something so miraculous and bizarre in the world. But now that he thought about it, he could only conclude that it was because of the God''s Spiritual Eye.


    "Let''s try it on something else!" Zhao Feng was immediately enthusiastic.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng unleashed a massive fist made of chaotic silver energy. He then activated his Origin energy and focused on the Chaos Origin Divine Fist.


    Increase power! This was the thought in Zhao Feng''s mind this time.


    But nothing happened to the Chaos Origin Divine Fist. Meanwhile, his Origin energy began to rapidly drain.


    Zhao Feng found it impossible to remain calm. The Chaos Origin Divine Fist had not increased in power, but his Origin energy started to rapidly drain. Because he had just come off of a major battle, he didn''t have much Origin energy in the first place, so it was quickly exhausted.


    "Why does it suddenly not work?" Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged and began to think.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    At this moment, the Spacetime Robe Dimension slightly swayed.


    "What happened?" Zhao Feng immediately left the dimension.


    Outside, the others were also standing over the barren earth.


    "A spatial disturbance has appeared in this Divine Kingdom. It seems like an outsider is trying to force their way in," Twilight Valley bluntly stated.


    The Tree of Time had not completely withered and still had a faint connection to him, allowing him to sense what was going on.


    "That''s not possible. Didn''t you destroy Yu Heng''s communication tool?" Ancient God Resplendence grimaced and immediately asked.


    "That''s true, but once Yu Heng died, the Heaven''s Legacy Race would immediately know." Twilight Valley sighed.


    The others immediately fell silent At this time, the only ones with the ability to force their way into this dimension were the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race...!" Xin Wuheng''s expression turned grim.


    The battle had barely finished, and none of them had completely recovered. If more members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race arrived at this time, they would probably all be killed.


    "Is there no way to stop it?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    "If it was someone below the God Lord level, it would be possible to stop...." Twilight Valley slowly said.


    However, it was quite obvious that, if the Heaven''s Legacy Race was sending anyone else, it would be a God Lord expert.


    "If the Tree of Time hadn''t withered, no one would be able to force their way in!" Ancient God Cheng Yun somewhat unwillingly said.


    "Just try. Maybe it will work," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    The others nodded. This truly was not the time to give up.


    "It''s over there." Twilight Valley sensed something and waved his hand.


    A white fog suddenly appeared in the sky, and the image of an area outside the crumbling ancient fortress appeared. The void in that place was shuddering, ripples manifesting in the air.


    But at this moment, no one was paying attention to the ripples, but the situation on the ground.


    In that area were two massive and incredibly complex arrays. Next to these arrays were two women with their backs to the group.


    One of these was a girl with a petite body, fair skin, and dressed in green. The other was a tall and slender woman dressed in white, her exquisite body faintly discernible beneath her clothes. Her black waterfall of hair danced in the wind, and she exuded a noble, pure, and unfathomable aura. In addition, the white-clothed woman had a silver and black cat lazing on her shoulders.


    "What''s going on? Has the Heaven''s Legacy Race already arrived!?" Twilight Valley yelled in surprise.


    Logically speaking, the Heaven''s Legacy Race should have been trying to get into this place, so why would there be members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race already here?


    The reason he thought those two women were members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race was naturally because of that Heaven''s Legacy Cat


    "The big lazy cat?" Zhao Feng was immediately stunned.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat immediately began to call out.


    A set of dusty memories emerged in their minds. In the Six Warlock Divine Tower of the Canopy Great Country was a legendary existence known as the Six Warlock Divine Sage.


    And at the Sage''s side was a lazy cat.


    "Big lazy cat, begin!" the white-clothed woman said.


    Meow!


    The big lazy cat jumped onto one of the teleportation arrays and began to fumble around.


    Kaboom!


    The massive array immediately began to surge with powerful Spacetime energy that spread throughout the world and began to alter spacetime. The rippling void suddenly became calm once more.


    "Big Sis Qin, why did we come here?" the girl in green asked.


    "I didn''t ask you to come, but you stubbornly insisted." The woman in white gently smiled.


    "Okay! We should leave now," the white-clothed woman said, and then she left with the green-clothed girl and the big lazy cat using the other teleportation array.


    The array activated, and the two women and one cat vanished without a trace.


    "God Lord Stellar Aspect has gone personally. There should be no problems this time!" God Lord Gloomheaven was somewhat pale. The three God Lords had consumed a great deal of energy to activate the teleportation array just now.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    At this moment, the metal platform in front of them began to buzz. The spatial path in the array also began to twist Whoosh!


    A figure flew out and collided with the ground nearby. Upon careful examination, it was none other than God Lord Stellar Aspect.


    Plush!


    God Lord Stellar Aspect vomited blood, his face stunned and furious. "There was actually a reverse teleportation array in the Divine Kingdom! Just who was responsible?"


    It was difficult for those not belonging to the Heaven''s Legacy Race to lay down such complex arrays, and reverse teleportation arrays were even more complicated than teleportation arrays.


    At the same time:


    Boom! Bang!


    The eight-sided metal platform exploded.

 1401 Reorganization

    Chapter 1401 - Reorganization


    In the independent dimension within the crumbling ancient fortress, everyone stood beneath the Tree of Time, their faces frozen in shock.


    "The big lazy cat, and that person''s figure..." Zhao Feng immediately fell into a pensive mood.


    Logically speaking, the big lazy cat should have been with the Six Warlock Divine Sage. Even more strange was that mysterious and noble white-clothed woman; she was inexplicably familiar to Zhao Feng and made him anxious to meet her and see her true appearance.


    Alas, from start to finish, those two women had only shown their backs to the group.


    "They''ve gone - left this dimension," Twilight Valley said.


    "Even with the Ancient God Seal, I couldn''t open a path to the outside world, but they just up and left?" Xin Wuheng was shocked and dazed.


    "They understand where the holes in this dimension are, and that Heaven''s Legacy array is of an extremely high level...." Twilight Valley possessed abundant experience and a sharp eyesight.


    "Those two women belong to the Heaven''s Legacy Race, right? They were here before, so why did they choose to leave now?" Ancient God Resplendence was completely befuddled.


    If those two women were members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, then they were highly likely to be Yu Heng''s comrades. But now that Yu Heng was dead, those two women not only didn''t try to avenge him, they simply left the dimension.


    "I''m not sure about that, but I do know one thing: when the two of them and that Heaven''s Legacy Cat activated the first array, they stopped the outsider that was trying to force their way in!" Twilight Valley slowly said, not even he himself believing what he was saying.


    "How could that be?" Ancient God Resplendence was even more stunned.


    After fighting a major battle together, the Light Race and Giant God Race were extremely trusting, friendly, and accepting with each other.


    "Milord, if that''s the case, then those two Heaven''s Legacy Race women helped us?" Ancient God Cheng Yun asked in disbelief. The Heaven''s Legacy Race had actually helped them?


    "This also means that the danger is resolved?" A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Ancient God Resplendence''s face.


    Originally, Twilight Valley''s message that an outsider was trying to break in had left them all extremely nervous, and then they noticed those two suspicious Heaven''s Legacy Race women. But in the end, those two women had assisted them in resolving the crisis.


    "That''s not for certain. That person that tried to break in was only fended off. They might try again!" Twilight Valley''s expression darkened.


    "Milord, is there a way to revive the Tree of Time?" Ancient God Cheng Yun reverentially asked.


    The Tree of Time was the core of the Divine Kingdom. Once it was revived, Twilight Valley would gain basic control over the Divine Kingdom. If an outsider tried to break in at that point, the group would be much more capable of fighting back. Moreover, Twilight Valley would also be able to repair the holes in the Divine Kingdom, greatly increasing the difficulty for any outsider trying to break in.


    "I will try." Twilight Valley''s brow furrowed as he nodded.


    At his peak, he could have easily revived the Tree of Time. The current methods available to him had a very low chance of reviving the Tree of Time, but he still had to try.


    "Good Sirs, whenever you wish to leave, I will send you out." Suddenly, Twilight Valley turned to the Giant God Race and Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng, Xin Wuheng, and Ancient God Resplendence indicated that they all wanted to stay for a little longer. After all, they had still not completely recovered from their injuries, and this place was ideal for cultivating Time Intent. If they could raise their Time Intent to a certain level, they would receive a massive boost in their overall strength.


    "Okay. Just tell me whenever you want to leave." Twilight Valley smiled


    After all, it was because of Zhao Feng and the Giant God Race that the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom was protected and they were able to survive. Twilight Valley naturally wouldn''t take advantage of them and immediately drive them all out.


    And besides, at a time like this, the Light Race needed allies.


    "Senior Twilight Valley, Ancient God Cheng Yun is a member of the Giant God Race...." Xin Wuheng brought up the matter of Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun was originally a member of the Giant God Race, a peak Rank Eight with decent talent. And what the Giant God Race lacked most at this time was manpower and powerful fighters. It was best if he could somehow recover Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    "I have already fused with this person''s soul. If I leave now, his soul will be severely damaged, and both his foundation and potential will suffer damage...." Ancient God Cheng Yun said.


    This also meant that, even if the Thought Body left, the Ancient God Cheng Yun of the present would no longer be the Ancient God Cheng Yun of the past.


    "Let''s do this. We will make a trade with your Giant God Race. Ancient God Cheng Yun will belong to us, and we will give you a large batch of precious resources. These resources will be enough to raise two or three Rank Nine Ancient Gods, at the very least. How about it?" Twilight Valley proposed after some thought


    Xin Wuheng began to discuss the matter with Ancient God Resplendence. Although they stood to gain from this deal, Ancient God Cheng Yun was still a member of their race, possessing a rather decent Giant God Race bloodline.


    "Right, I was able to parse from his memories that this Ancient God Cheng Yun apparently had some secret dealings with Ancient Soul Hall!" Ancient God Cheng Yun added.


    "What? Ancient God Cheng Yun?" Ancient God Resplendence blurted out in shock.


    At this moment, everything was clear. It was no wonder Ancient Soul Hall had attacked so soon after Xin Wuheng obtained the Ancient God Seal; Ancient God Cheng Yun was a hidden traitor. In addition, Ancient God Cheng Yun might have also been connected to why the members of Ancient Soul Hall were able to reach this dimension.


    "Deal!" Xin Wuheng swiftly agreed.


    He would''ve hoped that Ancient God Cheng Yun could be returned so that he could be handed over and dealt with by the members of his race, but the revival of the Giant God Race was more important In addition, if he could form a good relationship with the Light Race and win the favor of Twilight Valley, the Giant God Race would have an even greater ability to resist Ancient Soul Hall.


    "Okay. I''ll send over the things in a few days," Twilight Valley bluntly stated.


    The Giant God Race had played no small part in this battle, yet they had little to show for it. This was why Twilight Valley had made this proposal. The value of these resources far exceeded one Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    "Zhao Feng, the Ancestral Artifact fragment is yours!" Twilight Valley turned to Zhao Feng.


    In comparison to Zhao Feng, the rewards the Giant God Race would receive were practically insignificant.


    Xin Wuheng and Ancient God Resplendence had shock and a little envy in their eyes.


    "Many thanks for your assistance." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    "Zhao Feng, the Light Race still has other important matters to attend to. I will accompany the Light Race for now, and when you wish to leave this place, I will follow you...." The Ancestral Artifact fragment floated up to Zhao Feng and began to negotiate.


    "That''s fine." Zhao Feng thought for a few moments before agreeing.


    Twilight Valley did not appear to be in dire need of the Ancestral Artifact fragment. After all, as a member of the Light Race, he was extremely skilled in Time Intent. At his prime, he was undoubtedly extremely powerful and wouldn''t have required the services of a time-type Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    But the Ancestral Artifact fragment didn''t seem that willing to accept Zhao Feng. The Ancestral Artifact fragment had spent this entire time with the Light Race, fighting to the death alongside it. If not for the fact that the Light Race''s survival had been on the line, the Ancestral Artifact fragment would have never accepted the little thieving cat''s proposal. In addition, although it had somewhat changed its impression of Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng was still not comparable to a member of the Light Race.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Twilight Valley, Ancient God Cheng Yun, and the Ancestral Artifact fragment left the area. Zhao Feng and the Giant God Race members remained in seclusion.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, one hundred days went by in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Feng quickly returned to his peak condition.


    Swish! Swish!


    A whirlpool of eye-bloodline energy appeared in the air, and forty kinds of precious treasures emerged from it. These were all resources that Zhao Feng had duplicated over this period of time. The value and quality of these resources were not very high, making them much easier to duplicate.


    "Little Black, these are all for you," Zhao Feng sent a message, summoning the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon. Meanwhile, he took out a large number of cultivation resources from his interspatial dimension, all of them meant for the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    Zhao Feng had always used only the best resources. He had also only recently broken through, so he was in no rush to continue increasing his strength. Thus, Zhao Feng decided that he would take all the resources that he did not require and use them to nurture the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "This, this... many thanks, Master!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s eyes erupted with light and it immediately kneeled.


    One had to realize that the majority of these resources had been obtained from the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom. They were all of extremely old age, making them extremely rare. The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had never seen so many rare resources in its life.


    After doing this, Zhao Feng prepared to enter seclusion and stabilize his foundation, but at this moment:


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    A fierce Time energy shockwave swept through the world, and even the Spacetime Robe Dimension became somewhat unsteady.


    "What''s going on?" Zhao Feng immediately left the Spacetime Robe.


    Twilight Valley and Ancient God Cheng Yun were standing in front of the Tree of Time. In front of them were many extremely precious natural treasures.


    "Fruit of Life, Crystalblood Heaven Spirit Fruit..." Zhao Feng muttered in shock. He only recognized a few of these precious treasures.


    The Fruit of Life was suffused with formidable Life energy. If races with bloodlines like the Giant God Race''s were heavily injured and their bodies on the verge of destruction, this fruit would allow them to instantly recover. The Crystalblood Heaven Spirit Fruit could increase one''s vitality, strengthen the physical body, and instantly heal the wounds to one''s divine body.


    Other than these life-type resources, there were also many treasures that contained Time Essence.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Twilight Valley used a secret art of the Light Race to extract the energy from these treasures and pour it into the Tree of Time.


    But the Tree of Time was able to absorb not even one ten-thousandth of this energy. This tiny bit of energy entering the Tree of Time was like throwing a pebble into the ocean, affecting it in no way whatsoever.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Giant God Race members, similarly alarmed by what was going on, also appeared. From the scene, they naturally understood that Twilight Valley was trying to revive the Tree of Time.


    However, the process didn''t seem to be going very smoothly.


    Whoosh!


    A few moments later, Twilight Valley stopped the secret art.


    "My current level of strength is far from enough." Twilight Valley softly sighed. If he could not control the Divine Kingdom, they would always have to be on guard against outsiders and would never be able to feel safe.


    "Let me try." Zhao Feng''s voice suddenly broke the silence.


    Everyone turned in alarm to Zhao Feng.


    "Brother Zhao, you have a plan?" Even Xin Wuheng, who had always been extremely confident in Zhao Feng, was doubtful here.


    The Light Race undoubtedly understood the most about the Tree of Time. If not even Twilight Valley could do anything, what could Zhao Feng do?


    Twilight Valley and Ancient God Cheng Yun were also extremely doubtful. However, they had to try their best, and since Zhao Feng wanted to try, there would be no harm in allowing him to do so.


    Zhao Feng walked up to the Tree of Time and activated his left eye. His left eye began to release dreamy mist A moment later, the world in Zhao Feng''s eyes became like a dreamy paradise, awash in a rainbow of colors.

 1402 Frenzied Improvemen

    t


    Chapter 1402 - Frenzied Improvement


    Zhao Feng had previously done several tests in the Spacetime Robe and realized that his thoughts could cause changes in a physical object. He was able to weaken or extinguish a flame. But later on, when he changed his target to his Chaos Origin Divine Fist, he wasn''t able to produce any sort of result. Thus, Zhao Feng decided to use the Tree of Time as an experiment to see if this ability to turn dreams into reality was actually real.


    Everyone focused on Zhao Feng.


    "What is he doing?"


    "Using an eye-bloodline technique to restore vitality to the Tree of Time?"


    The others softly whispered.


    "That''s impossible. The Tree of Time is of an extremely high level. Ordinary Life energy is useless on it, and the vast majority of the Tree of Time has already completely withered away. The Tree of Time can barely absorb even the extremely high- level Life energy condensed through my Light Race secret art...." Twilight Valley gave a slight shake of his head.


    To revive the Tree of Time, one first had to solve two problems. One was to gather Life energy far above that of a typical God Lord, and the second was to make the Tree of Time capable of absorbing this Life energy. Zhao Feng satisfied neither of these requirements.


    Bzzzz!


    The world before Zhao Feng''s eyes became a dreamy and multicolored landscape.


    Recover vitality... revive! This was the thought in Zhao Feng''s mind as he stared at the Tree of Time.


    Whoosh!


    The Origin energy in his left eye rapidly drained, but no changes could be seen on the Tree of Time.


    Zhao Feng''s Origin energy was also draining at an unprecedented speed. A few moments later, he had exhausted nearly half of his Origin energy.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng immediately stopped his left eye and half-closed his eyes. If he continued, his Origin energy would quickly be exhausted.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t force it. Not even I can do anything about this Tree of Time," Twilight Valley bluntly stated. He had predicted long ago that Zhao Feng would not succeed, so he was not that concerned.


    Why is it like this again? Zhao Feng''s mind was whirring.


    It just consumes Origin energy, but nothing is happening... wait, perhaps this ability has some other restriction! Zhao Feng suddenly opened his eyes.


    After comparing the differences between his successes and failures, he immediately obtained a conclusion; it had to do with the size and scope of his target.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye once more rippled with eye-bloodline energy.


    "Still not giving up?" Ancient God Cheng Yun whispered.


    The others also shook their heads. They knew that Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique was quite miraculous, but this did not mean that it was omnipotent and could revive the Tree of Time.


    Recover vitality... revive... Zhao Feng once more began to think this thought. This time though, Zhao Feng focused his left eye on a small branch of the Tree of Time.


    Bzzzz!


    Within his God Eye Dimension, the dreamy silver ball quivered, releasing Origin energy that fused into the world.


    Suddenly, the dark gray and withered branch suddenly began to brim with life. It glimmered with white light and thrummed with Time energy.


    "Success!?"


    "How could that be? A branch of the Tree of Time was revived!"


    Everyone stared at the branch in complete disbelief.


    Logically speaking, if a tree was to recover its vitality, it would start slowly from the roots. But at this moment, only a branch of the Tree of Time had recovered while the rest was still withered.


    "Success!" Zhao Feng stopped his left eye, a delighted look on his face.


    Rather than the Tree of Time, he cared more about the fact that he now understood his left eye''s new ability. As Zhao Feng expected, his ability to turn dreams into reality did exist, but if the target was too large, the ability would fail.


    Secondly, different situations would consume different amounts of energy. For example, extinguishing an ordinary flame took an almost insignificant amount of Origin energy, but reviving the Tree of Time took much more.


    "Zhao Feng, how did you do it?" Twilight Valley immediately asked, clearly rather agitated.


    "Why did only one branch revive to its best condition while the other parts of the Tree of Time are unchanged?" the Ancestral Artifact fragment couldn''t help but ask.


    "This took quite some effort! I need to rest for a while." Zhao Feng closed his left eye, appearing rather exhausted.


    The ability to turn dreams into reality was truly too abnormal and absurd. In his current state, he absolutely could not let it get out


    Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe and performed a few more tests, confirming his speculations on the size and scope. Zhao Feng spent the following period researching this ability.


    One month later, Zhao Feng had almost completely recovered.


    In the third month within the Spacetime Robe, the Light Race finally went to seek Zhao Feng''s help.


    "Zhao Feng, please help me revive the Light Race''s Tree of Time. If there is anything you require, you need only ask. Once the matter is settled, the Light Race will richly reward you!" Twilight Valley got straight to the point.


    "I need a large number of resources that can purify the soul and increase its level," Zhao Feng said.


    He would arouse far more suspicion if he revived the Tree of Time without asking for anything in return.


    "Okay! No problem." Twilight Valley immediately agreed.


    Zhao Feng began once more to revive the Tree of Time.


    This time, Zhao Feng started from the roots. By using his Origin energy, he was able to revive a thin root.


    At certain intervals, he would revive yet another root of the Tree of Time. Once all the roots were revived, the Tree of Time regained the ability to heal itself. Even if Zhao Feng and Twilight Valley did nothing more, the Tree of Time would completely revive after a period of time.


    "You can leave the rest to me," Twilight Valley bluntly stated.


    With the roots of the Tree of Time revived, Twilight Valley now had the ability to save the Tree of Time himself.


    He had now gained basic control of the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom and had even repaired the larger holes. If an outsider wanted to try and get in, they would find the task much more challenging.


    "This kid really managed to revive the Tree of Time!" The Ancestral Artifact fragment was flabbergasted.


    "Zhao Feng, if you need anything, just ask!" Twilight Valley smiled and said.


    "Two supreme-quality divine artifacts and resources that can help one breakthrough into Rank Nine and peak Rank Nine." Zhao Feng didn''t stand on ceremony.


    He was confident that, when Twilight Valley was in his prime, he was extremely powerful. Two supreme-quality divine artifacts would probably not be much of a problem for someone like him. "Okay. Choose for yourself." Twilight Valley gently smiled.


    Swish!


    Spatial ripples appeared, and then several sparkling divine artifacts and weapons of formidable aura appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    "Ten supreme-quality divine artifacts!?" Zhao Feng was immediately stunned.


    God Lords were divided into three Heavens. A normal God Lord of the First Heaven would have two supreme-quality divine artifacts at most, but Twilight Valley had taken out ten supreme-quality divine artifacts.


    Of course, now was not the time to worry about these things, but to choose the supreme-quality divine artifacts he required.


    He had the Spacetime Robe and Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror already, and together with the Ancestral Artifact fragment, he was no longer lacking for supreme-quality divine artifacts. Thus, Zhao Feng was choosing supreme-quality divine artifacts for other people.


    After carefully examining the artifacts and considering what was needed, Zhao Feng took a red pearl covered in draconic carvings and an ancient scarlet umbrella.


    The Dragonflame Pearl and the Scarletflame Lightning Umbrella you have chosen are both rather decent in quality among these supreme-quality divine artifacts," Twilight Valley praised.


    "Many thanks!" Zhao Feng smiled, very satisfied with his choices.


    "I will send over the other cultivation resources you require in a little while," Twilight Valley bluntly stated.


    Twilight Valley''s first priority at this time was reviving the Tree of Time. Once that was done, he could traverse the treasury of the Light Race without fear. It would also be much easier to gather cultivation resources.


    Swish!


    Once Zhao Feng returned to the Spacetime Robe Dimension, he immediately gifted the Dragonflame Pearl to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    "This... Master!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was taken aback by this extreme favor and didn''t know how to express its gratitude.


    Zhao Feng didn''t bother to explain and entered the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "Your Excellency!" The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch came out to welcome him.


    He could clearly sense that Zhao Feng had become a Rank Nine Ancient God. This cultivation speed was not something that even the Spiritual Race could match. He was even surer now that Zhao Feng was the owner of the Ninth God Eye.


    "Take it." Zhao Feng handed over the Scarletflame Lightning Umbrella.


    "The Scarletflame Lightning Umbrella, a supreme-quality divine artifact for both offense and defense...." The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch''s eyes sparkled as he immediately recognized this supreme-quality divine artifact


    Zhao Wan soon arrived. Zhao Wan had access to many resources within the Ancient Dream Realm, and he had already become a Rank Eight Ancient God.


    Zhao Feng handed over the Deep Chill Pearl he had obtained from Ancient God Ice Jade to him. Now, every member of Zhao Feng''s main fighting team had a supreme-quality divine artifact, greatly increasing their power.


    After taking many cultivation resources from the Blood Flame Qilin Race, Zhao Feng returned to the Spacetime Robe.


    "These are all for you." Zhao Feng gave the vast majority of the resources he had just taken from the Ancient Dream Realm to the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.


    The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon undoubtedly had more potential than the others.


    "Master!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon found it hard to express its gratitude.


    Zhao Feng had given it a small mountain of resources, and for the first time, it felt that Zhao Feng was truly a mighty figure.


    Three months later, Twilight Valley delivered quite a few cultivation resources, and he also handed the Ancestral Artifact fragment to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng evenly distributed these resources between Zhao Wan, Zhao Wang, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, and the Blood Flame Qilin Race. With supreme-quality divine artifacts and these resources, every member of his team experienced an enormous leap in strength.


    Zhao Feng began to refine the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    At this moment, the Ancestral Artifact fragment had apparently completely acknowledged Zhao Feng, perhaps because he had revived the Tree of Time. With the Ancestral Artifact fragment''s cooperation, Zhao Feng needed only two months to refine it.


    Even before refining it, Zhao Feng had already reached Level Seven in Time Intent. In the process of refining the Ancestral Artifact fragment, he had somehow increased his Time Intent to the peak of Level Seven.


    "As expected of the Ancestral Artifact fragment! In the future, cultivating Time Intent shouldn''t be difficult at all." Zhao Feng was pleasantly surprised.


    Of course, while refining the Ancestral Artifact fragment, Zhao Feng had split his mind to do other things as well.


    Besides the obvious increase in his Spacetime Intent, his other intents had also received significant boosts. He had completely stabilized the fourth level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique and had further increased his understanding of the technique.


    In addition, Zhao Feng consumed many Lightning Soul Crystals as well as the soul cultivation resources he had obtained from Twilight Valley. At this moment, he had stabilized his Soul Intent at the peak of Rank Nine.


    And because he now controlled a time-type Ancestral Artifact fragment, Zhao Feng''s proficiency with Time Intent had also gotten stronger.


    The time ratio in the Spacetime Robe was now 50 to 1.


    As time passed, Zhao Feng''s cultivation and energy began to slowly build up.


    One day, Xin Wuheng came to find him.


    "Brother Zhao, we''re preparing to leave. What are your plans?"

 1403 Return

    Chapter 1403 - Return


    The Rediron Mountains extended for tens of millions of li. The scorching heat emitted by these mountains made it so that anyone weaker than a True God did not dare to venture inside.


    At this moment, a very long convoy was rapidly proceeding through these scarlet mountains. Leading this convoy was a gray-haired elder with red skin. His large body was covered in frightening wounds, and his deep eyes appeared rather dim.


    Whoosh!


    A gorgeous woman with a buxom figure immediately flew up to the old man. This woman was none other than the one who had accompanied Ancient God Sundermount to the Antian Zone to find Zhao Feng, Ancient God Stillmoon.


    "Grand Elder, are you okay?!" Ancient God Stillmoon asked in concern.


    Previously in order to fend off an assault from Ancient Soul Hall, the Grand Elder had used a forbidden art, consuming his Origin to stop two God Lords.


    "It''s no big deal," the Grand Elder looked ahead as he flatly said.


    "Our Giant God Hall has suffered grievous casualties. Not even one hundred of us have survived!" Ancient God Stillmoon''s face was tinged with sorrow.


    "The sacrifices are worth it Once Xin Wuheng comes back with the other members of our race, my Giant God Race is certain to rise again!" The Grand Elder''s eyes suddenly became incredibly determined.


    The Giant God Race had only lasted until this day because the Ancient God Seal existed. Once the Ancestral Legacy Treasury was opened, the Giant God Race would rapidly ascend once more.


    Each member of the Giant God Hall firmly believed that, once Xin Wuheng emerged from the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, he would lead the Giant God Race in its revival. The Grand Elder was no exception.


    At this moment:


    "Haha, the Giant God Race still wishes to rise again?" A soft chuckle came from the dark red horizon.


    "Oh no!" The Grand Elder''s expression froze, and his body trembled.


    "Who''s there?" Ancient God Stillmoon''s face chilled as she stared up ahead.


    Startled, the other members of the Giant God Hall convoy immediately prepared for battle.


    Hisssss!


    Thirty figures emerged from the churning red mist.


    Although there were only thirty of them, ten of them were Ancient Gods while the other twenty were outstanding True Gods.


    "It seems like you''ve become unacceptably weak. You actually didn''t sense me beforehand?" Their leader was a slender man with fair skin, his aura cold and sinister while his voice was suffused with evil.


    Brrrooom!


    The world instantly turned dark, brimming with cold and wicked energy. Some of the members of Giant God Hall with heavier injuries or weaker cultivations curled up on the ground and began to quiver.


    "God Lord Evil Spirit!" The Grand Elder turned grim as he stared at the slender and wicked man. At the same time, he began to exude God Lord power so as to oppose the invisible energy being emitted by God Lord Evil Spirit


    "Grand Elder, your injuries!" Ancient God Stillmoon couldn''t help but look at the Grand Elder.


    Normally, the Grand Elder would be far stronger than Ancient Soul Hall''s God Lord Evil Spirit, but not even the Grand Elder had noticed the approach of God Lord Evil Spirit just now. This being the case, it was clear that the Grand Elder''s injuries were extremely severe.


    "What did you mean just now?" The Grand Elder grimly stared at God Lord Evil Spirit.


    "I''ll just tell you that my Ancient Soul Hall made preparations long ago and has already sent people into the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. At this point, Xin Wuheng and his team have probably all been killed," God Lord Evil Spirit straightforwardly said, no longer trying to hide anything.


    "What? That''s impossible!" the Grand Elder furiously bellowed in disbelief.


    The other members of the Giant God Hall also did not believe this and expressed their doubts.


    "Haha, how ignorant If Ancient Soul Hall''s God Lords weren''t occupied with dealing with Xin Wuheng''s team, would all of you have survived until now?" God Lord Evil Spirit''s laugh was rather shrill and made one''s hair stand on end.


    Suddenly, a sinister and heavy energy engulfed the hearts of all the Giant God Hall members. It was true; if Ancient Soul Hall had sent two God Lords in pursuit, Giant God Hall would have long ago been exterminated.


    Plush!


    The Grand Elder immediately vomited blood, despair appearing on his face.


    "Old fellow, I''ll send you on your way!" With a roar, God Lord Evil Spirit struck out with his palm.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Three skeletal evil spirits wearing black robes lunged at the Grand Elder. The evil spirits moved with incredible speed and were cloaked in evil Soul energy, and they immediately descended on the Grand Elder.


    Boom! Bang!


    The first evil spirit plunged into the Grand Elder''s soul, the impact sending him flying several li. The second and third evil spirit followed.


    "Grand Elder!" Ancient God Stillmoon yelled as she rushed forward.


    As expected, their Grand Elder was severely wounded. A random attack from God Lord Evil Spirit was enough to defeat him.


    The other Giant God Hall members turned ghastly pale, but they were too weak and had little ability to affect God Lord Evil Spirit''s attack.


    The second and third evil spirits were just about to enter the Grand Elder''s soul, but suddenly, a massive ripple of Divine Power erupted from the back of the Giant God Hall convoy.


    "Hmph, who said I was dead!?" a heaven-shaking voice bellowed, causing the heavens and earth to buzz.


    "Xin Wuheng?" God Lord Evil Spirit''s eyes focused as his face turned grim. How could this be? How is Xin Wuheng still alive?


    "Wuheng?" When the Grand Elder heard that extremely familiar voice, his eyes erupted with dazzling light.


    But God Lord Evil Spirit''s attacks were on the verge of reaching him. In his feeble state, the Grand Elder was incapable of dodging.


    Swish!


    Ripples appeared in the air, and then a dreamy silver figure appeared in front of the Grand Elder.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Layer after layer of Spacetime Barriers emerged from the Spacetime Robe, weakening and hindering the two evil spirits. Zhao Feng then extended a hand, firing off dark silver Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    Booom! Whoosh!


    The Chaos Origin Divine Power struck the two evil spirits and immediately began to devour them. The two spirits were able to hold for only a few moments before they both vanished.


    Zhao Feng?" The Grand Elder slowly came back to his senses and confirmed that the youth in front of him was Zhao Feng.


    But hadn''t Zhao Feng only been a Rank Eight Ancient God before? Yet he could now stop the attack of a God Lord?


    Boom!


    At this moment, Xin Wuheng''s figure flashed across the sky as he charged at God Lord Evil Spirit. Even before he landed, he had concentrated dazzling white energy on his finger and thrust it forward.


    God Lord Evil Spirit grimaced as he waved both his hands, creating two shadowy vortices of Divine Power.


    Fwooosh!


    Xin Wuheng''s bolt of finger energy struck one of the shadowy Divine Power vortices. After wrangling with it for a few moments, the bolt of energy shattered into pieces.


    "You actually managed to survive?" God Lord Evil Spirit had a confused expression as he asked.


    Ancient Soul Hall had sent three half-step God Lords into the Ancestral Legacy Treasury to kill Xin Wuheng and seize the Ancient God Seal, but Xin Wuheng had actually survived and was now before him.


    "Let me tell you something - all the people Ancient Soul Hall sent into the Ancestral Legacy Treasury are dead!" Xin Wuheng coldly said.


    "That''s impossible!" God Lord Evil Spirit immediately shot back in shock.


    At this moment, the other members of Ancient Soul Hall instinctively backed up.


    "Nothing is impossible!" Xin Wuheng growled, and then he began to circulate Divine Power and Law energy and fired off several bolts of finger energy.


    Kabooom!


    One massive bolt of energy tore through the gloomy skies to attack God Lord Evil Spirit.


    "Half-step God Lord... the power of a Law!" God Lord Evil Spirit''s expression darkened.


    Based on the intelligence reports, Xin Wuheng was only a Rank Nine Ancient God, but now, he was clearly a half-step God Lord. If he didn''t know of Xin Wuheng''s true identity, God Lord Evil Spirit would have never believed this to be true.


    "Even if your cultivation in your last life far surpassed mine, you''re only a half-step God Lord right now! And you want to battle with a God Lord?" God Lord Evil Spirit''s expression turned savage and sinister.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    One skeletal spirit after another emerged from God Lord Evil Spirit''s body, an army of one thousand. "Bone-Devouring Ghost Claw!" God Lord Evil Spirit roared.


    The countless evil spirits extended the claws from their hands and assumed the form of a sinister ghost claw that slashed down.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    One dazzling white bolt of energy after another was torn apart by this ghost claw.


    "I don''t care how you survived, but since you''ve run into me, I''ll have you die here!" God Lord Evil Spirit sinisterly smiled. Suddenly, a spatial ripple appeared behind him.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng extended a palm and sent out a constant stream of dark silver Chaos Origin Divine Power. A moment later, this Chaos Origin Divine Power had condensed into a massive sword.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword, slash!" Zhao Feng swung his right hand down.


    Swoosh!


    The dark silver Chaos Origin Divine Sword slashed down at God Lord Evil Spirit The sword twisted space as it slashed down, devouring all the energy in its path.


    The Chaos Origin Divine Sword was a powerful combat skill belonging to the fourth level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique.


    "A mere Rank Nine Ancient God dares to... wait..." A look of disdain had appeared on God Lord Evil Spirit''s face.


    To a God Lord, a Rank Nine Ancient God was an ant-like existence, hardly worth mentioning. But when he was preparing to dodge, he realized that a high-level Time energy had engulfed him. And he even sensed a sliver of a Time Law in this energy.


    Swoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s sword swept down, leaving a deep wound on God Lord Evil Spirit''s body. God Lord Evil Spirit also sensed that many kinds of energy in his body had been devoured by the Chaos Origin Divine Sword. In the process, several dozen evil spirits had also been destroyed.


    "Kid, you''re seeking death!" God Lord Evil Spirit''s expression turned cold and sinister to the extreme.


    He would have been able to explain away an injury inflicted by Xin Wuheng, but because of his momentary carelessness, he had been injured by a mere Rank Nine Ancient God.


    "Die!" God Lord Evil Spirit shrieked.


    Suddenly a powerful energy began to gather, causing the world to churn and roil, and then several hundred black-robed skeletons charged at Zhao Feng.


    No God Lord would have low-level Space Intent The attacks of God Lords were all essentially capable of disrupting the surrounding world and preventing anyone from using Instant Movement.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng activated the Spacetime Robe. A light appeared around his body, and then he drew a dazzling arc through the sky.


    "This kid is that fast?" God Lord Evil Spirit was taken aback.


    Logically speaking, any casual attack of his was capable of slaying a Rank Nine Ancient God. However, Zhao Feng himself was incredibly fast, and he had Time energy to boost his speed even further. Thus, he could even dodge a God Lord''s attack.


    Meanwhile, Xin Wuheng activated his Giant God Race bloodline and launched a full-out offensive against God Lord Evil Spirit


    "Five Elements Law-Shattering Palm!" Xin Wuheng fired off a massive palm created from five vortices of energy. Wherever it went, it drove away the sinister and gloomy fog and exterminated the evil spirits.


    "I can''t fight in close combat with Xin Wuheng...." God Lord Evil Spirit''s expression darkened.


    Although Xin Wuheng was only a half-step God Lord, he could use Law energy. This, combined with his high level of understanding, allowed him to contend against a God Lord.


    "Spacetime Barrier!" Zhao Feng saw that God Lord Evil Spirit was preparing to flee and activated his Spacetime Robe, unleashed countless white barriers.


    Under the influence of Spacetime energy, God Lord Evil Spirit immediately felt his speed being restricted.


    "Why does this kid''s Time Intent also contain a Time Law?" God Lord Evil Spirit once more stared at Zhao Feng, unable to understand his abilities.


    Laws were the tools of God Lord. If he wasn''t a reincarnation, how could a mere Rank Nine Ancient God be able to use a Law?


    God Lord Evil Spirit could never have imagined that Zhao Feng possessed an Ancestral Artifact fragment. Even if Zhao Feng didn''t directly use it, he could still infuse his Time Intent with a sliver of a Time Law.

 1404 Working Together to Push the Enemy Back

    Chapter 1404 - Working Together to Push the Enemy Back


    Ordinary Rank Nine Ancient Gods did not dare to recklessly take part in a battle between God Lords. The members of Giant God Hall and Ancient Soul Hall were only watching from the sides.


    "Lord Wuheng!" The eyes of the Giant God Hall members were shining. The return of Xin Wuheng had unquestionably inspired hope in their minds that they would be led out of the darkness.


    "To think that Wuheng would mature to this level!" The Grand Elder was rather excited as he stared at Xin Wuheng.


    Xin Wuheng was only a half-step God Lord at this time, but he had the strength to contend against a First Heaven God Lord. One had to realize that Xin Wuheng was only a Rank Nine Ancient God when he entered the Ancestral Legacy Treasury.


    In addition, Zhao Feng''s growth was even more inconceivable. He had risen from Rank Eight to Rank Nine and was even able to participate in a God Lord battle.


    "Ancient God Resplendence, just what did you experience in the Ancestral Legacy Treasury?" the Grand Elder couldn''t help but ask.


    It wasn''t just Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng who had experienced massive progress. Ancient God Resplendence had risen to become a Rank Nine Ancient God and was seemingly much stronger than an average Rank Nine Ancient God.


    "Elder, you should rest first We''ll talk about these matters later." Ancient God Resplendence immediately took out some resources that could heal the divine body and soul.


    "Sou²·Nourishing Grass, Celestial Blood Glass Fruit...!" The Grand Elder was shaken by what he saw.


    The resources Ancient God Resplendence had taken out were not just extremely rare, but also extremely old, making them even more effective. It was apparent that Xin Wuheng''s team had come away from the Ancestral Legacy Treasury with an unusual harvest. The Giant God Race truly did have a hope of rising again.


    Brrrooom!


    The distant horizon quaked with the explosions from the battle.


    "Damn! What a powerful Time energy!" Within the Spacetime Barrier, God Lord Evil Spirit moved extremely slowly.


    Zhao Feng''s Space Intent had reached Level Eight, but it had little effect on God Lord Evil Spirit. The crucial part was the Time Intent; although it was only at the peak of Level Seven, the effects were astounding. Moreover, Zhao Feng had the spacetime-type supreme-quality divine artifact, the Spacetime Robe, and also the invisible boost from the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" Zhao Feng swung down his right hand once more, sending the broad silver sword hacking down at God Lord Evil Spirit''s body.


    At this moment, God Lord Evil Spirit felt like some of the energy in his body had inexplicably been drained away.


    "This kid''s Divine Power is incredibly powerful, on par with a half-step God Lord''s! And there''s something strange about it!" God Lord Evil Spirit''s eyes dimmed.


    At this moment, a ripple of power that could shake the world appeared behind God Lord Evil Spirit. Five streams of chaotic light had appeared in front of Xin Wuheng, each of them containing the unfathomable energy of a Law, causing the heavens and earth to pale and the sun and moon to reverse.


    "Not good! This Xin Wuheng...!" God Lord Evil Spirit''s face contorted in surprise at what he sensed.


    God Lord Evil Spirit cared far more about Xin Wuheng over any unusual traits Zhao Feng was showing.


    The situation isn''t good. Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng working together is enough to deal with a typical God Lord. If the Giant God Race''s Grand Elder recovers and joins the battle... It took only a little thought from God Lord Evil Spirit for him to realize that the situation was incredibly against him.


    He was fearless when fighting against Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng, but the Giant God Race''s Grand Elder was an outstanding First Heaven God Lord. As long as he recuperated a portion of his strength, he could join the other two and dominate the battlefield.


    As for Ancient Soul Hall, there wasn''t even a half-step God Lord on his side to assist him.


    "Retreat!" After weighing the pros and cons, God Lord Evil Spirit made his decision.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The other experts of Ancient Soul Hall began to flee.


    "Want to leave?" Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng immediately realized what God Lord Evil Spirit was up to.


    This person was more cautious than most. When he saw that the battle was going poorly, he immediately chose to retreat. Another God Lord might have found it shameful to retreat and would chose to keep fighting, but this would only lead to an even more wretched defeat


    "Go!" Xin Wuheng sent forth the five streams of light.


    The five streams of light were infused with Law energy, and they began to absorb the surrounding worldly energy to strengthen themselves.


    Boom!


    The five streams of light howled toward God Lord Evil Spirit, unleashing immense pressure.


    "This attack isn''t simple!" God Lord Evil Spirit''s eyes dimmed.


    The necklace of white bones around his neck began to flash, releasing layers of white bones that protected him. Brrrooom!


    The five streams of light wreaked havoc on the area around God Lord Evil Spirit "Xin Wuheng has gotten even stronger." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but gasp in wonder.


    Xin Wuheng now had seventy to eighty percent of the power of a First Heaven God Lord. It probably wouldn''t be long before Xin Wuheng entered the ranks of the God Lords.


    Boom! Swish!


    God Lord Evil Spirit, wrapped in his cage of bones, flew out of the five-colored storm and began to flee into the distance. "Chaos Origin Divine Sword, double slash!" Zhao Feng''s other hand also formed a massive sword.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Two Chaos Origin Divine Swords slashed down, shattering the already-crumbling cage of bones and leaving two wounds on God Lord Evil Spirit''s body.


    "I, God Lord Evil Spirit, will definitely return today''s disgrace ten times over!" With these final words, God Lord Evil Spirit vanished into the distance.


    "Now is the time for Giant God Hall''s counterattack - for you to repay your debts," Xin Wuheng stared at the distant God Lord Evil Spirit and flatly said.


    Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng, by working together, had forced back a God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall. This sight was an enormous shock to the Giant God Hall members.


    In reality, however, God Lord Evil Spirit had chosen to retreat because he feared the Grand Elder.


    With the crisis averted, Xin Wuheng led the Giant God Hall members elsewhere. The current Giant God Hall needed to rest and then slowly develop and expand.


    One month later, the Giant God Hall members arrived at a dangerous place. With the world-changing powers of a God Lord, they were able to carve out a new place for themselves here.


    One day, within a secret hall inside the new domain of the Giant God Hall, Xin Wuheng seated himself.


    "Brother Zhao, you played no small part in helping us return alive this time!" Xin Wuheng was the first to speak.


    This time, none of the upper echelons present had any objections to Zhao Feng. They even smiled at him and showed him respect Even the Grand Elder had undergone a complete reversal and was now extremely friendly.


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng had earlier worked together to push back God Lord Evil Spirit. From this one, could see that Zhao Feng''s future achievements might even reach the level of Xin Wuheng''s past life.


    Giant God Hall stood only to benefit from forming a relationship with such a genius.


    Xin Wuheng began to narrate what had occurred in the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. He gave a rough summary, but he mentioned nothing about Yu Heng. Yu Heng was a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race; if the Giant God Race found out that Ancient Soul Hall had dealings with the Heaven''s Legacy Race, it would suffer a heavy blow to its morale.


    "Friend Zhao, our deepest gratitude for helping my Giant God Race so much!" Several of the Giant God Race members present thanked him.


    What came next was planning for the future of the Giant God Race. Xin Wuheng''s team had come away with an extremely rich harvest. If used well, the Giant God Race truly could rise again in a short time.


    Zhao Feng had little interest in this, so he decided to leave early.


    After leaving the hall, Zhao Feng went to find Kun Yun and Nan Gongsheng.


    Before the battle, he had given a few trump cards to Nan Gongsheng and Kun Yun, allowing them to easily survive. Moreover, after being honed by this battle, the two of them had experienced massive leaps in strength.


    "It wasn''t too long ago that we last saw each other, but you''ve already managed to reach such a level...." Kun Yun was as envious as one could possibly be.


    "I was able to survive thanks to you. My utmost gratitude!" Nan Gongsheng had much less to say.


    He still regarded Zhao Feng as his rival, but Zhao Feng was so strong now that it was hard for him to catch up.


    After spending a few days at the Giant God Hall''s new base, Zhao Feng bid his farewell.


    He had not returned to the Spiritual Race once since he had furtively taken his leave the last time. Much time had passed, and he was wondering how Zhao Yufei was doing.


    "Brother Zhao, my utmost gratitude for all you''ve done!" Xin Wuheng gratefully said.


    The Grand Elder also came to send Zhao Feng off. When Zhao Feng had first come, he had vigorously objected to his presence. To his surprise, however, Zhao Feng had really done as Xin Wuheng said and was of enormous help to the Giant God Race.


    The Grand Elder even gifted Zhao Feng a small-scale flying tool before he left. The journey from the Chixing Zone to the Spiritual Race was long and boring, so it would be much better to have a flying tool.


    Whoosh!


    A simple flying tool flew through the air as Zhao Feng set off on his journey back to the Spiritual Race.


    The moment he entered the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng noticed something strange.


    "Master, I''ve broken into Rank Nine!" the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon gleefully said.


    Moreover, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had only consumed half of the resources Zhao Feng had given it. It still had enormous amounts of room to improve.


    In addition, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon was no longer a serpent dragon, but a true dragon.


    While in the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, Zhao Feng had accidentally come upon a True Dragon Horn, a treasure that could further the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s evolution, so he had Twilight Valley assist him in obtaining it With the help of the reverse scale before, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had gotten nearly halfway to the true dragon form, and after extracting the pure Dragon Yuan of the True Dragon Horn, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon had finally completed its evolution.


    After becoming a true dragon, the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s talent and potential were further improved.


    Zhao Feng went to see how the others were doing. Zhao Wang had reached peak Rank Eight, Zhao Wan had become a Rank Nine, and the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch had become a half-step God Lord.


    Zhao Feng did not display any satisfaction at this. After giving a few words of advice, he started on his own cultivation.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng planned to form his fourth clone. He had earlier obtained from the God Eye ruins a pair of Spacetime Eyes close to the Quasi God Eye level. If his fourth clone could control this pair of eyes, it would undoubtedly be of great assistance to him.


    Less than one month later, Zhao Feng succeeded in splitting his soul, and the Soul Intent of his fourth clone was at Rank Nine.


    With regards to the fourth clone''s body, Zhao Feng had made preparations long ago; while reviving the Tree of Time, Zhao Feng had taken one of its branches.


    Zhao Feng began to use God Eye Duplication on this branch until he had enough to create a decent divine body.


    While duplicating, Zhao Feng split off part of his mind to cultivate the Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    The Chaos Origin Divine Sword was a powerful combat skill of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique''s fourth level. Zhao Feng previously only had a basic grasp over it and wasn''t able to fully control it.


    The Chaos Origin Divine Sword was not merely a little bit stronger than the Chaos Origin Divine Fist. Moreover, he had a more natural control over the Chaos Origin Divine Sword and could also use it for both close combat and long-distance battles.


    While cultivating the Chaos Origin Divine Sword, Zhao Feng also began to slowly improve his various Intents.


    In less than half a year, Zhao Feng had complete control over the Chaos Origin Divine Sword. The improvements to his Intents had also strengthened this skill''s power.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Power is so powerful. If I could use it in an eye-bloodline technique..."


    Once he had this idea, Zhao Feng began to experiment If he could fuse his powerful Chaos Origin Divine Power into his eye-bloodline techniques, he would definitely create an utterly astounding power.

 1405 Change

    Chapter 1405 - Change


    "Chaos Origin Divine Power is so powerful. If I could use it in an eye-bloodline technique..."


    Once he had this idea, Zhao Feng began to experiment. If he could fuse his powerful Chaos Origin Divine Power into his eye-bloodline techniques, he would definitely create an utterly astounding power.


    "Right now, my strongest Chaos Origin combat skill is the Chaos Origin Divine Sword."


    To make his technique as strong as it could be, Zhao Feng planned to start with the Chaos Origin Divine Sword, fusing it into an existing eye-blood line technique or creating a brand-new one.


    One year later, Zhao Feng''s flying ship left the Chixing Zone and entered the Antian Zone.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, a handsome and mysterious youth stood in front of Zhao Feng, exuding a dim glow that affected the world around him.


    This was the new divine body that Zhao Feng had created just now from the branches of the Tree of Time. This divine body was similar to the Time Bodies of the Light Race, but it probably had only twenty to thirty percent of the original''s effects.


    And inside this divine body was the soul of Zhao Feng''s fourth clone, Zhao Kong. It had already completely finished fusing with the nearly Quasi God Eye level Eyes of Spacetime.


    "Cultivate on your own," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    Zhao Kong''s Soul Intent had reached Rank Nine, but his divine body was only at Rank Eight However, given the potential of this divine body, it wouldn''t be long before it caught up. When the time came, Zhao Kong would probably be the strongest of Zhao Feng''s clones.


    Zhao Feng had also done other things in this long period of time besides making the body for his clone. He had spent the majority of his time cultivating and creating a new eye-bloodline technique.


    On this day, Zhao Feng chose the leave the Spacetime Robe and the flying ship.


    His left eye suddenly began to pulse with Eye Intent. The Chaos Origin Divine Power in Zhao Feng''s left eye quickly took the form of a miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    Thwish!


    This small Chaos Origin Divine Sword shot out with incredible speed, immediately traveling two to three hundred thousand li.


    Brrrooom!


    The Chaos Origin Divine Sword madly devoured all the energy in its path, increasing its power, and what it couldn''t devour, it destroyed.


    "Not bad!" Zhao Feng nodded.


    He could now use his Chaos Origin Divine Sword as an eye-bloodline technique, and this skill seemed both stronger and faster when used this way.


    However, the ordinary Chaos Origin Divine Sword was a persistent attack that could inflict long-term damage. The eye- bloodline technique Chaos Origin Divine Sword was one-time-use, so it did not have as obvious of a role.


    But Zhao Feng had only recently developed this eye-bloodline technique, so it still had an immense amount of room to improve. He could either try to increase the damage of the Chaos Origin Divine Sword eye-bloodline technique or try and see if he could make the eye-bloodline technique deal persistent damage.


    "Let''s work in the first direction first and increase the eye-bloodline technique¡¯s power.¡± After some thought, Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe and continued to develop the new eye-bloodline technique.


    In the outside world, another year passed.


    On this day, Zhao Feng''s flying ship entered the territory of the Ziling Zone''s Spiritual Race faction.


    "I''m finally back! I wonder how Yufei is doing right now." Within the flying ship, Zhao Feng smiled.


    He had left without saying goodbye and was gone for so long that Zhao Yufei was undoubtedly furious.


    But when Zhao Feng''s flying ship was flying through a four-and-a-half-star faction...


    In a group of palaces down below, two Ancient God Divine Senses swept out. However, because of the flying ship, they could not sense Zhao Feng''s condition.


    Within a simple hall, a red-skinned middle-aged man was seated across from a violet-robed woman. The man was a Rank Seven Ancient God while the woman was even stronger, a peak Rank Seven. Moreover, she had a well-rounded figure and a gorgeous appearance.


    "This flying ship has a speed equivalent to a peak Rank Seven, meaning that the person within is also at least a peak Rank Seven. However, they should just be passing through," the violet-robed woman said.


    "Peak Rank Seven...." The red-skinned man''s expression dimmed as he fell silent.


    Suddenly, however, the flying ship turned around.


    Whoosh!


    The simple dark yellow flying ship flew back to the complex of palaces and stopped.


    "It came back?" The woman and man both immediately stood up and left the hall.


    "We presumptuously used our Divine Senses to observe Good Sir just now, but we meant no harm," the red-skinned man said.


    After all, this person was highly likely to be a peak Rank Seven Ancient God or higher. It truly had been rather rude for them to use Divine Sense to inspect him.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng revealed himself. A powerful Ancient God aura spread outward, causing the souls of all people below the Ancient God level in the vicinity to tremble in fear, their bodies frozen.


    Of course, this was while Zhao Feng was concealing part of his energy and not displaying his full might.


    "Zhao Feng!?" The two Ancient Gods were taken aback and stared fearfully at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed, but he said nothing. He was extremely well-known in the Ziling Zone; for these people to recognize him wasn''t strange, but for them to fear him was rather abnormal.


    Zhao Feng had noticed this place and returned to it because this was the first faction he had visited when he came to the Ziling Zone: Universal Salvation Hall. And it was precisely through Universal Salvation Hall that Zhao Feng had gotten in touch with the Life Origin Sect and eventually entered the Spiritual Race.


    According to what Zhao Feng knew, Universal Salvation Hall was a faction of the Medicine Dao, but when passing through, he realized that the place was immersed in a somber atmosphere, and many of its members were seething with killing intent


    "It''s Zhao Feng! Several years ago, in the gambling match between the two races, he defeated an Ancient God genius of the Blazing Gold Race. He''s probably gotten even stronger now. What do we do?" the red-skinned man messaged the violet- robed woman.


    The violet-robed woman stared at Zhao Feng, her expression grim. Even with her peak Rank Seven cultivation, she could not see Zhao Feng''s true level of power.


    Zhao Feng was previously a Rank Seven Ancient God, and only a few years had passed since then. No matter how strong he was, he shouldn''t have reached Rank Eight. If they gathered up the strength of all their members, they had a chance of fighting against him.


    However, the woman could not see Zhao Feng''s cultivation, which inexplicably made her uneasy. Thus, she decided it was best to not recklessly move against him.


    "Zhao Feng has just returned to the Ziling Zone, so he might not know the situation. Let''s hide it from him and try to keep him here while we report to our superiors so that he can be captured!" The violet-robed woman thought of a more reliable plan.


    "Okay! If we capture him, we''ll be greatly rewarded!" The red-skinned man began to get excited.


    After making up their minds, they immediately messaged all the others so that they would work together to prevent Zhao Feng from getting suspicious.


    "You must be Zhao Feng, the number one pride of the Ziling Zone who directly attained Rank Six and broke into Rank Seven after only a few years. This Cheng has always wanted to meet the genius Zhao. Please do not take offense from just now to heart!" The red-skinned man gave a genial smile.


    "Young Master, you must be coming back from a journey. Why not stay here and rest a little, giving us a chance to get to know you." The violet-robed woman adopted a charming posture and spoke in an alluring tone that could melt people''s hearts.


    "I truly am rather tired after my long journey. I will have to trouble you two." Zhao Feng had been carefully examining the two of them this entire time, and he now put away the flying ship.


    He felt that there was a big problem with the two of them. Since they wanted him to stay, he would just stay and see what tricks they were trying to play.


    The man and woman were both taken aback, not expecting for Zhao Feng to so easily agree.


    The red-skinned man looked at Zhao Feng and noticed he was staring at the woman. Smiling, he couldn''t help but message, "It looks to me like this kid is interested in you."


    Although the violet-robed woman was actually rather old, as a cultivator, she had an appearance no different from a young maiden''s. The combination of her charming body with her air of maturity was also something rarely seen in a young maiden.


    "Universal Salvation Hall is fortunate to care for Young Master Zhao! Truly, this is a great blessing!" The woman gave a charming smile and invited Zhao Feng inside.


    Zhao Feng was arranged to stay inside a palace that was abundant with spiritual energy and fragrant aromas.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t be bothered to care. Cultivating this entire journey truly had been getting rather boring, so he really did just take a leisurely stroll around the place to relax.


    After resting for two days, Zhao Feng suddenly had an idea about his eye-bloodline technique.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Power is extremely tolerant If I can fuse my Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame into it, not only can I increase its power, I can make it into an instant eye-bloodline technique that would be almost impossible to dodge!"


    When he thought about this, Zhao Feng began to try and combine the two eye-bloodline techniques.


    However, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword and Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame were both rather powerful techniques.


    Perfectly fusing them together was not a one or two-day affair.


    But after only five days, an abnormally powerful energy, ancient and scorching, descended on Universal Salvation Hall. Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The violet-robed woman and red-skinned man immediately rushed out.


    "Paying respects to Ancient God Golden Wheel! Zhao Feng is within Universal Salvation Hall!" the two of them respectfully said to Ancient God Golden Wheel, who had a glass-like body covered in golden tattoos.


    "Now that Ancient God Golden Wheel has personally come, that kid is finished!" the red-skinned man fawningly said.


    Ancient God Golden Wheel was an outstanding Rank Eight Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race bloodline. It was rumored that he had once battled with a peak Rank Eight Ancient God for three days and had eventually succeeded in killing them.


    "Haha, Zhao Feng, get out here!" Ancient God Golden Wheel looked at the palace where Zhao Feng was staying and heartily laughed.


    Ancient God Golden Wheel hadn''t expected for his luck to be so good. The faction he had occupied was closest to Universal Salvation Hall, so he was the first to arrive after hearing the news.


    Kaboom!


    A dark red and scorching sound wave swept through the world. A normal Rank Eight Ancient God in cultivation who was so suddenly interrupted like this would be heavily injured or might even go insane.


    "Was this the trick they were playing?" Zhao Feng opened his eyes, his expression cold.


    Swish!


    With a flash, Zhao Feng appeared in the sky.


    At this time, the two Ancient Gods of Universal Salvation Hall flanked Ancient God Golden Wheel while all the other experts of Universal Salvation Hall had joined together into some sort of strange array.


    "Zhao Feng, it really is you! Obediently accept your death!" Upon seeing Zhao Feng, Ancient God Golden Wheel became extremely agitated and immediately swung out with a palm.


    Hwooom!


    A scorching wheel of golden flames spewing out waves of heat shot toward Zhao Feng in a dazzling streak of gold and red light


    "So strong! Is this the power of the Blazing Gold Race?" The red-skinned man was stunned. If it were him, he would have been instantly killed by this attack.


    "Ancient God Golden Wheel has gotten even stronger. Even a peak Rank Eight Ancient God wouldn''t dare to take this attack lightly!" The violet-robed woman sensed the powerful ancient aura coming from Ancient God Golden Wheel''s body and couldn''t help but tremble.


    But a moment later, the two of them were left dumbstruck. As the blazing golden wheel got closer to Zhao Feng, it suddenly slowed to a crawl, finding even advancing a single inch to be an arduous task. The flame wheel was still slowly rolling, but it felt like it would never approach Zhao Feng.


    "You want to take this Zhao''s head with such little ability?" Zhao Feng scanned the three Ancient Gods, a faint smile on his lips.

 1406 The God Martial Race

    Chapter 1406 - The God Martial Race


    "You want to take this Zhao''s head with such little ability?" Zhao Feng scanned the three Ancient Gods, a faint smile on his lips.


    Hwooom!


    The blazing golden wheel in front of him slowly turned, but it seemed like it would never reach him. This sight caused the hearts of the three Ancient Gods to thump in shock.


    "Time Intent!?" The three Ancient Gods naturally sensed this energy. But just what level had Zhao Feng''s Time Intent reached that it could stop Ancient God Golden Wheel''s attack?


    "This is impossible! How did you...?" Ancient God Golden Wheel''s body trembled as he stared in disbelief at Zhao Feng.


    The Blazing Gold Race''s intelligence reports said that Zhao Feng was still a Rank Seven Ancient God. But could a Rank Seven Ancient God so easily neutralize a Rank Eight Ancient God''s supreme technique? Not even ten years had passed, but Zhao Feng had already grown to this level?


    "You''re probably the only one, right?" Zhao Feng scanned the surrounding area and saw that there was no one else. This Ancient God Golden Wheel had definitely planned to take all the glory for himself and had come as quickly as possible.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng punched, instantly pulverizing the flame wheel. The Chaos Origin on his fist even devoured some of the energy before returning to Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Run!" Upon seeing this, Ancient God Golden Wheel immediately began to flee.


    Boom! Thwish!


    A blazing golden light erupted from Ancient God Golden Wheel''s body. By burning his Divine Power, he was able to use a secret art to increase his speed as he fled into the distance.


    The strength Zhao Feng had displayed just now meant that even the three of them working together had no chance at victory.


    The red-skinned man and the violet-robed woman used Instant Movement to flee in two other directions.


    The three of them had chosen to flee in different directions. At this time, they were all betting that Zhao Feng would chase after someone else, allowing the others to survive.


    "Think you can escape?" Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly surged with powerful eye-bloodline energy.


    Thwish! Thwish!


    In a flash, two Chaos Origin Divine Swords as thick as arms shot toward the red-skinned man and violet-robed woman.


    A moment later, the two Chaos Origin Divine Swords had flown several hundred thousand li and shot through their bodies. Screams filled the air as their bodies were blasted into smithereens.


    Spatial ripples appeared above a lush ancient forest


    Swish!


    A golden figure charged out of the void and began to flee.


    "That was risky! Because Zhao Feng decided to kill the two of them first, I managed to avoid disaster!" Ancient God Golden Wheel breathed a sigh of relief.


    "I have to report this matter to the Blazing Gold Race! Zhao Feng must be intercepted and killed before he can return to the Spiritual Race!" Ancient God Golden Wheel''s expression became nervous.


    The strength Zhao Feng had displayed made him at least a peak Rank Eight, even a Rank Nine. With such terrifying growth speed, Zhao Feng could not be left alone any longer.


    But at this moment, an amused voice came from up ahead; "You still want to kill me?"


    "How could this be? You managed to get ahead of me?" Ancient God Golden Wheel seemed to have been given a major fright His face turned ghastly pale as he fearfully stared at Zhao Feng.


    Even if Zhao Feng was incredibly fast, he should have come from behind. How had he suddenly appeared in front of him? Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng slowly flew over, approaching Ancient God Golden Wheel.


    He had long ago acquired the Spatial Shift skill. Spatial Shift could travel an extremely long distance. When using it just now, he had traveled too far, causing him to go back to find Ancient God Golden Wheel.


    "Zhao Feng, then we''ll die together!" Ancient God Golden Wheel clenched his teeth, his face becoming grim and determined as his Divine Power ignited.


    Given the grudge between the Blazing Gold Race and Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng would never let him go, so he decided to self- detonate. If he could kill Zhao Feng, that would be even better.


    "You want to self-detonate?" Zhao Feng waved a hand.


    A strange white energy immediately shrouded Ancient God Golden Wheel. Suddenly, Ancient God Golden Wheel felt like he was in a slow-motion world. His every movement, his thoughts, and even his self-detonation had slowed to a crawl. Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng immediately approached the self-detonating Ancient God Golden Wheel, his left eye pulsing with formidable Soul energy as he searched Ancient God Golden Wheel''s soul.


    "The two races are actually at war!?" Zhao Feng''s face froze.


    The Spiritual Race and Blazing Gold Race had always been in conflict with each other, constantly butting heads. If not for the suppression of the Life Sacred Land, the two races would have gone to war hundreds of millions of years ago. But this time, the Life Sacred Land had failed to suppress it.


    For the specific details, one had to go back to the third year after Zhao Feng''s departure from the Spiritual Race. At the time, a major secret dimension appeared in the Ziling Zone. Through various indications, it was determined that this secret dimension was intimately connected to one of the top ten ancient races.


    The God Realm Sacred Land of the Ziling Zone got in touch with the four five-star factions, which worked together to lock down this news so they could explore the secret dimension by themselves.


    However, the secret dimension''s restrictions meant that only those below the Ancient God level could enter. Thus, the various factions sent their elite experts beneath the Ancient God level inside.


    At the final juncture, the Spiritual Race disciples succeeded in snatching an incomparably valuable treasure from the hands of the Blazing Gold Race disciples.


    At the start, the two races tried to negotiate, but the negotiations fell through. The races then began to invade and attack each other. It was precisely for this reason that Universal Salvation Hall, originally under the administration of the Spiritual Race, had been occupied by the Blazing Gold Race.


    "This Ancient God Golden Wheel doesn''t know much, and it might not be accurate...." Zhao Feng didn''t completely believe Ancient God Golden Wheel''s memories, he only took them into consideration. Once he got back to the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng would know the entire situation.


    "You can die now!" Zhao Feng waved his hand at Ancient God Golden Wheel.


    Ancient God Golden Wheel immediately returned to normally, but then the process began to speed up.


    "No...!" Ancient God Golden Wheel wanted to stop the self-detonation, but he had no time. It was like he had entered a fast- motion world.


    Rumble!


    In a deafening explosion, destructive golden flames wreaked havoc throughout the world.


    But Zhao Feng had left the range of the explosion long ago.


    "With my identity exposed, I can no longer use the flying ship," Zhao Feng sternly said.


    Besides that, he could not allow the Blazing Gold Race to know of his true abilities. If the Blazing Gold Race found out that he had risen from Rank Seven to Rank Nine in just a few short years, they would immediately send a God Lord expert to intercept him.


    Zhao Feng had worked together with Xin Wuheng to defeat a God Lord before, but Xin Wuheng was the primary force back then while Zhao Feng just launched sneak attacks and held the enemy down. If Zhao Feng tried to fight a God Lord alone, he would only be able to run.


    And Zhao Feng''s cultivation speed truly was too quick. If others learned of this, some people would inevitably start to get greedy.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng removed the Ancestral Artifact fragment from his interspatial dimension.


    "Is there a way to conceal my cultivation? It''s best if a God Lord can''t notice me." Zhao Feng asked for instruction.


    "That''s rather simple." The Ancestral Artifact fragment had a very relaxed appearance.


    The complete form of the Ancestral Artifact fragment had been created countless years ago. It had experienced much and knew many secret arts. It naturally knew ways to conceal one''s cultivation.


    "This is a secret sealing art of the God Sealing Race. Once you comprehend it, you and I will work together to use it. Even a First Heaven God Lord won''t be able to sense you!" The Ancestral Artifact fragment sent a stream of light into Zhao Feng''s soul.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng successfully comprehended the God Sealing Race''s sealing art. Together with the Ancestral Artifact fragment, he managed to conceal his aura so that he appeared to be a peak Rank Eight


    After that, Zhao Feng proceeded to use Spatial Shift.


    Bzzz! Thwish!


    A spatial vortex began to spin around Zhao Feng. Gradually, the spatial vortex shrank, but the spatial ripples intensified. A moment later, Zhao Feng''s body plunged into the small spatial vortex.


    Since he was already in the Ziling Zone and the remaining distance wasn''t great, using Spatial Shift would be faster than other methods.


    Bzzz! Swoosh!


    A spatial vortex suddenly appeared, and Zhao Feng''s figure slowly emerged from it.


    After using Spatial Shift several times in a row, Zhao Feng would rest for a while.


    Three months later, Zhao Feng arrived at the Spiritual Race without incident.


    Given Zhao Feng''s status in the Spiritual Race, his arrival set off a storm. Zhao Feng had disappeared for several years without a word and there had been no news of him whatsoever. Many people believed that Zhao Feng had died on his travels or perhaps had been intercepted and assassinated by the Blazing Gold Race.


    But now, not only had Zhao Feng returned to the Spiritual Race, his cultivation had reached peak Rank Eight! It was clear that Zhao Feng, who had gone out to hone himself, had encountered some enormous opportunity. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to reach peak Rank Eight in less than ten years.


    The first thing Zhao Feng did upon his return was go to find Zhao Yufei, but Yufei was in seclusion within the forbidden zone of the Spiritual Race.


    "Zhao Feng, just what did you encounter on your excursions that you have already reached peak Rank Eight?" Zhao Yufei''s master, the Spiritual Race''s Third Elder, asked.


    He had been pouring all his strength into teaching Zhao Yufei, stimulating the power of her Spiritual Race bloodline in the hopes that Zhao Yufei could surpass Zhao Feng. Zhao Yufei had managed with great difficulty to encounter an enormous opportunity in the secret dimension, and in her seclusion, her strength was increasing by leaps and bounds.


    But Zhao Feng had already reached peak Rank Eight!


    "I accidently entered a dimension left behind by the Light Race and encountered many opportunities...." Zhao Feng vaguely described.


    "It seems like you and Yufei are extremely lucky people!" The Third Elder emotionally sighed.


    "What happened to Yufei?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    Zhao Yufei had probably gone into the secret dimension connected to the top ten ancient races. There had been some news on Zhao Yufei in Ancient God Golden Wheel''s memories, but it was very vague and uncertain.


    "She received the legacy of one of the top ten ancient races, the God Martial Race!" the Third Elder somewhat excitedly and proudly said.


    The Third Elder had always felt rather chagrined over Zhao Feng''s refusal to be his disciple, but now that Zhao Yufei had obtained the legacy of the God Martial Race, she was certain to surpass Zhao Feng and lead the Spiritual Race into a glorious future.


    "The God Martial Race?" Zhao Feng was startled.


    The God Martial Race was a mythical race ranked 5th among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. It was the race with the greatest comprehension abilities. The strength of this race''s members always far surpassed their cultivation levels, and they could casually understand various kinds of Intent energy. They even found it easier to comprehend Laws compared to other races.


    In addition, members of the God Martial Race were all excellent fighters. Their talent for fighting was unparalleled, and they could always reach the peak of proficiency when using secret arts. This was a mythical race of transcendent warriors.


    This is probably the reason for the war between the Blazing Gold Race and Spiritual Race. Zhao Feng''s heart sank.


    The Spiritual Race''s cultivation speed had always been one of the best among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and now that Zhao Yufei had obtained the legacy of the God Martial Race, she had filled in the flaw of comprehension. In probably one thousand years, ten thousand years at most, Zhao Yufei would reach the God Lord level, and she would be a Spiritual Race God Lord extremely skilled in combat This would be enough to alter the destiny of the entire Spiritual Race.


    As the Spiritual Race''s mortal foe, the Blazing Gold Race could not permit this situation.

 1407 Participating in the War

    Chapter 1407 - Participating in the War


    "This is probably the reason for the war between the Blazing Gold Race and Spiritual Race." Zhao Feng''s heart sank.


    "Correct! Previously, the Blazing Gold Race even sent a half-step God Lord to try and assassinate Zhao Yufei, but they were discovered and stopped by my race," the Third Elder stated, his expression cold.


    "What? The Blazing Gold Race actually sent a half-step God Lord to try and assassinate Yufei?" Zhao Feng was also alarmed at this news.


    He hadn''t expected that the Blazing Gold Race would actually mobilize this sort of strength to deal with a True God junior.


    "Right now, Yufei is the heart of the Spiritual Race. Once she matures, the puny Blazing Gold Race will no longer be a match for my Spiritual Race!" The Third Elder seemed rather delighted, his eyes shining with anticipation.


    Firstly, he was Zhao Yufei''s master, so if Zhao Yufei became a God Lord, he would also gain some glory.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng had once refused to be his disciple, and the Third Elder''s second disciple Zhao Yufei would now undoubtedly surpass Zhao Feng in the future. Previously whenever outsiders talked about the Spiritual Race''s number one genius, they would undoubtedly be talking about Zhao Feng. But in the future, this would not necessarily be the case.


    "When Yufei returned from the secret dimension, she was already a Rank Seven Ancient God, and she has been in seclusion for several years now." Seeing Zhao Feng¡¯s surprise, the Third Elder continued, his smile growing even wider.


    Zhao Feng nodded. Zhao Yufei had always possessed unusual potential, and now that she had the legacy of the God Martial Race, she would reach extraordinary levels in the future. Perhaps she could even lead the Spiritual Race to regain its glory.


    "Zhao Feng, the Spiritual Race is currently severely lacking in higher-level fighting forces. Now that you''ve returned, you should go out and hone yourself on the front lines," the Third Elder looked at Zhao Feng and continued.


    Although he had his grudges against Zhao Feng, that was only because Zhao Feng had refused to be his disciple. Zhao Feng had just returned from his travels and his cultivation had leaped to peak Rank Eight He had definitely not fully stabilized himself at this cultivation level yet, and his strength probably couldn''t compare to a senior peak Rank Eight. Thus, the Third Elder wanted Zhao Feng to hone himself on the battlefield and solidify his cultivation. In addition, he could also bring relief to the Spiritual Race, which was currently the weaker side of this war.


    "Severe lack of high-level fighting forces?" Zhao Feng was somewhat confused. Logically speaking, the Spiritual Race should have been stronger in overall strength than the Blazing Gold Race.


    "The Blazing Gold Race was the one who started this war. At the time, they suddenly attacked us, swiftly killing off many of our middle and high-level fighting forces. Although the Spiritual Race reacted as quickly as possible, the Blazing Gold Race currently has the upper hand in this war!" The Third Elder appeared rather angry as he spoke.


    "Okay then." Zhao Feng agreed to take part in the war.


    As a core disciple of the Spiritual Race, he had received no small benefit by relying on this five-star faction. Moreover, the war between the two races had been started over Zhao Yufei, so Zhao Feng couldn''t just sit back and remain uninvolved.


    In addition, after participating in numerous battles, he would be able to remove the seal and reveal his cultivation level and draw much less suspicion.


    "Good! Head to the Celestial Net Sect as quickly as possible. This faction is one of the more important areas in the territory of the Spiritual Race. The Blazing Gold Race has been wanting to occupy it this entire time." The Third Elder immediately gave Zhao Feng an important mission.


    After leaving the Spiritual Race''s forbidden zone, Zhao Feng rested for a little and then set out.


    Meanwhile, inside an underground secret room aglow with the light of blazing fires.


    "Elder, Zhao Feng has returned to the Spiritual Race!" A golden-armored man appeared in the underground palace, his attitude respectful and reverential.


    Three balls of light floated in front of him. The man in the middle ball of light was rather old, but he was large and muscular, his body seething with golden flames and his face dignified and composed.


    "That kid has appeared again?" Elder Jin''s eyes flashed.


    He was none other than the Elder Jin who had led the Blazing Gold Race''s party in the gambling match between the two races. He had developed an extremely deep impression of Zhao Feng.


    "The Spiritual Race truly has incredible luck to have two supreme geniuses like Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei!" To the left of Elder Jin was a shorter man of middle age, his eyes glowing with cold and venomous light.


    "What is Zhao Feng''s current condition?" Elder Jin asked.


    "Upon his return to the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng''s cultivation was at peak Rank Eight. He has now left the Spiritual Race, apparently ready to enter the battlefield," the golden-armored man replied.


    "Peak Rank Eight?" Elder Jin and the short man were both shocked.


    "It''s not even been ten years, but he''s already gone from Rank Seven to peak Rank Eight!?" Elder Jin''s expression was extremely grim.


    At this time, the dark gray ball of flame to the right of Elder Jin trembled, emitting a bone-chilling cold.


    "I want every move of Zhao Feng''s closely watched. Report directly to me if anything happens!" Elder Jin barked.


    The golden-armored man left the secret hall.


    "We can''t let this opportunity go. The moment we find out where Zhao Feng is going, we''ll immediately send an expert to kill him!" Elder Jin''s eyes dimmed as he began to think about the best person to send.


    At this moment, the chilling gray flame to the right of Elder Jin suddenly began to roar. A figure walked out wearing a light golden dress. She possessed a gorgeous yet frigid face, and while her tall and graceful body could arouse fantasies, her aura was strange and bizarre, like some ethereal mountain of ice.


    "This Zhao Feng... leave him to me!" the icy woman coldly spoke.


    The short middle-aged man looked at the icy woman in surprise.


    "Heh, that''s fine as well. I''ll leave Zhao Feng to you!" Elder Jin smiled and agreed.


    The icy woman wrapped herself in frigid flames and then vanished.


    "Tsk, tsk, Ancient God Iceflame is getting prettier and prettier, but she''s a bit too cold. Why does she care so much about Zhao Feng?" Once Ancient God Iceflame was gone, the short man immediately asked this question.


    Ancient God Iceflame was the number one beauty of the Blazing Gold Race and also the most talented genius of the Blazing Gold Race in the last nearly one hundred million years.


    Long ago, when Ancient God Iceflame was still well-known, she was pursued by countless handsome geniuses of the Ziling Zone, but she had rejected them all. Later on, Ancient God Iceflame went out on a journey, and when she returned, she was already a half-step God Lord!


    "This is just her interest in geniuses, but rather than liking them, she prefers to kill them!" Elder Jin gave a profound smile.


    Ten-some days later, Zhao Feng arrived at the Celestial Net Sect, within the borders of the Spiritual Race.


    The Celestial Net Sect was situated at the highest point in a long range of mountains. As Zhao Feng approached, he was immediately noticed by the people inside the Celestial Net Sect.


    "Who is visiting?" a loud voice came from within, shaking the world.


    "Spiritual Race''s Zhao Feng, on the Third Elder''s orders, has come to reinforce the Celestial Net Sect," Zhao Feng immediately replied. But he was actually rather confused; the power-holder within the Celestial Net Sect definitely knew who he was, so why did they ask such a question?


    He couldn''t help but use his left eye to peer through the dark yellow defensive array and the various buildings to see the owner of this voice. It was a dignified middle-aged man wearing a golden robe, his formidable aura indicating that he was a peak Rank Eight Next to the middle-aged man was a handsome youth with a cold and arrogant face.


    "Ancient God Ice Origin?" Dazed, Zhao Feng immediately understood.


    In the gambling match between the two races, Ancient God Ice Origin was originally the trump card Ancient God for the Spiritual Race. But when the gambling match actually happened, Ancient God Ice Origin had suffered a miserable defeat in his first battle, and in the end, it was Zhao Feng who had snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Zhao Feng had already noticed Ancient God Ice Origin''s envy at the time.


    Within the Celestial Net Sect:


    "Father, this person is Zhao Feng," Ancient God Ice Origin whispered.


    "Peak Rank Eight?" The middle-aged man was taken aback.


    "What? Peak Rank Eight?" Ancient God Ice Origin was utterly astounded and was thrown into a daze.


    He had been utterly humiliated during the gambling match between the two races. Upon his return, he had diligently cultivated, and with his father''s help, he had managed with great difficulty to reach peak Rank Seven.


    He originally planned to arrange for a battle with Zhao Feng the next time he met him, but he hadn''t expected that, when he next saw Zhao Feng, his father would say that Zhao Feng was peak Rank Eight.


    "Although your cultivation can''t compare to his, the Celestial Net Sect listens to your father''s orders right now. In this war between the two races, he won''t get any chance to show his skills. I will have your battlefield achievements far surpass Zhao Feng''s!" The golden-robed man looked kindly at Ancient God Ice Origin.


    "Mm!" Ancient God Ice Origin firmly nodded.


    At this moment, a gap appeared in the Celestial Net Sect''s defensive array.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng entered the Celestial Net Sect.


    "So it was Zhao Feng, the genius of my Spiritual Race! I am the commander of this place, Ancient God Blue Distance. You have just arrived, so I will have someone prepare a residence for you so you can rest" Ancient God Blue Distance looked at Zhao Feng with an extremely warm expression.


    "I must trouble you." Zhao Feng agreed, upon which he was guided to a spacious and beautiful palace.


    He was willing to participate in this war so that he could put in a little effort for the Spiritual Race and rescue it from its disadvantageous position. From the look of it, however, Ancient God Blue Distance would not give him this chance.


    But this was fine as well. Zhao Feng would just quietly spend his time on the front lines. When the time came and he displayed his true level of cultivation, he still would not garner that much suspicion.


    Upon entering the palace, Zhao Feng began to cultivate, focusing primarily on raising his Intent energies and strengthening his combat skills.


    At night, the quiet and cold Celestial Net Sect suddenly became scorching hot.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The defensive array around the Celestial Net Sect began to shudder, alarming everyone within.


    "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"


    Frantic voices could be heard within the Celestial Net Sect.


    Outside the Celestial Net Sect, a large force had gathered, led by a giant of a middle-aged man, thirty feet tall, his entire body glimmering with gold and silver with flames raging around it


    Whoosh!


    A golden-robed figure emerged, floating in the air and exuding a powerful ancient energy.


    "Hmph! I knew that you wouldn''t easily give up on the Celestial Net Sect!" Ancient God Blue Distance coldly snorted.


    "Cut the chatter! Ancient God Blue Distance, we''ll definitely capture the Celestial Net Sect today!" the giant man roared, sending out a wave of golden flames that bathed the horizon in golden light


    Boom! Bang!


    The giant man raised both fists, and then a dazzling golden sun shot forward.


    "Just you alone? That''s not quite enough!" A look of disdain appeared on Ancient God Blue Distance''s face.


    "Attack!" Ancient God Blue Distance roared, and his body began to emit crystalline Divine Power as he shot forward. Whoosh!


    Countless experts poured out of the Celestial Net Sect to follow Ancient God Blue Distance.


    Haha! The Celestial Net Sect is ours today!" At this moment, a somewhat withered elder appeared next to the giant man.


    This person immediately exuded a scorching pressure that caused all the Celestial Net Sect members to pause as a burning sensation engulfed their bodies.


    Boom!


    The old man waved his palm, sending out a dark brown flame that quickly took the form of a savage dragon. "Not good! A Rank Nine Ancient God!" Ancient God Blue Distance grimaced.


    Bzzz! Swoosh!


    The crystalline Divine Power around him surged forward into a massive crystal shield.


    Boom! Bang!


    The shield lasted for only a few moments before shattering.


    The dark brown flame dragon howled forward, pushing back Ancient God Blue Distance and the several Ancient Gods he was leading.


    "Ah...!" A weaker Rank Seven Ancient God was unable to fend off the flames, and a few moments later, he was burned to ash.


    "Retreat and defend!" Ancient God Blue Distance immediately ordered.


    Now, their only hope was to defend the Celestial Net Sect and wait for reinforcements.

 1408 The Commander Has Run Away

    Chapter 1408 - The Commander Has Run Away


    "Retreat and defend!" Ancient God Blue Distance immediately ordered.


    Now, their only hope was to defend the Celestial Net Sect and wait for reinforcements.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The people who had charged out of the Celestial Net Sect immediately retreated back inside.


    "I didn''t think that the Blazing Gold Race would send over a Rank Nine Ancient God!" a white-haired elder worriedly said.


    He was none other than the Sect Master of the Celestial Net Sect, a Rank Eight Ancient God.


    "That old man should be Ancient God Darkcrow of the Blazing Gold Race." Ancient God Blue Distance solemnly stared at the withered elder.


    "That cruel and bloodthirsty Ancient God Darkcrow who likes capturing enemies and slowly torturing them to death?" A middle-aged Ancient God suddenly shivered.


    Everyone in the Celestial Net Sect suddenly felt an oppressive fog settling over their hearts. If one did not have the resolve to self-detonate, losing to Ancient God Darkcrow meant suffering endless torment.


    "Celestial Net Sect Master, this defensive array won''t be able to last for very long. Take some of the Celestial Net Sect disciples and activate the sect-protecting array!" Ancient God Blue Distance immediately shouted.


    "Okay!" The Celestial Net Sect Master left.


    The Celestial Net Sect was an extremely old four-and-a-half-star faction, and its reserves could not be underestimated. The Celestial Net Sect had once relied on its sect-protecting array to injure and push back a peak Rank Eight Ancient God.


    At the same time, Ancient God Blue Distance sent a message requesting reinforcements.


    "Keke, it''s only fun if you put up some resistance!" Ancient God Darkcrow gave a sinister chuckle.


    He lightly waved one of his wrinkled hands.


    "Attack!" the giant middle-aged man roared.


    Brrrooom!


    Various flames combined into a massive tsunami of fire that crashed against the Celestial Net Sect''s defensive array.


    Hold!" Ancient God Blue Distance instantly bellowed.


    All the members of the Celestial Net Sect began to pour Divine Power into the array.


    "Father, what do we do?" Ancient God Ice Origin had a fearful look on his face and was somewhat at a loss.


    After all, this was a Rank Nine Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race, and there was also a peak Rank Eight. Their side seemed to have no chance of victory.


    Ancient God Ice Origin was talented enough to have a sliver of hope of becoming a God Lord. He did not want to die here. Ancient God Ice Origin also did not have the resolve to self-detonate, but merely the thought of what would happen to him once he was captured by Ancient God Darkcrow caused his hair to stand on end.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng emerged from his palace.


    Ancient God Blue Distance stared at Zhao Feng in surprise.


    Although Zhao Feng had just arrived, Ancient God Blue Distance originally had no intention of having Zhao Feng fight. He originally intended to have Zhao Feng rest for a while and then dispatch him on a few simple missions, doing his utmost to keep Zhao Feng away from the fighting.


    But now that Zhao Feng had appeared, he remembered that Zhao Feng was a peak Rank Eight Ancient God that would be useful on the battlefield.


    "Zhao Feng, get ready to stop the enemy attack!" Ancient God Blue Distance immediately called out.


    Outside the defensive array:


    "Eh? Why is there another peak Rank Eight?" The giant man was rather surprised.


    The Celestial Net Sect had only ever had one peak Rank Eight Ancient God in Ancient God Blue Distance.


    However, even though there was one extra person now, since he had called over a Rank Nine Ancient God, the Celestial Net Sect still had no chance of victory.


    "That person... Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Darkcrow''s eyes glimmered as he stared at Zhao Feng.


    For some reason, when Ancient God Darkcrow saw Zhao Feng''s composed face, he inexplicably felt uneasy.


    "Hurry and break the array!" Ancient God Darkcrow bellowed.


    Swish!


    At the same time, a black spear appeared in his hand. A tyrannical black flame shot out from the spear, fusing with the brown flames rising from Ancient God Darkcrow''s body.


    "Break!" Ancient God Darkcrow waved the spear, concentrating the tyrannical flame energy of the spear and firing it off. Roooooar!


    A dark brown dragon one thousand feet long savagely roared, shaking the heavens. The dark brown dragon, together with the fierce attacks of the other Blazing Gold Race members, crashed against the Celestial Net Sect''s defensive array.


    Cling! Crack!


    The defensive array immediately shattered, and everyone within the array immediately became frantic with concern.


    "Zhao Feng, why didn''t you do anything just now? Are you trying to hurt us?" Ancient God Blue Distance immediately barked as he shot Zhao Feng a cold glare.


    "Keke, die!" Ancient God Darkcrow, holding his back spear and surrounded by brown tyrannical flames, charged at Ancient God Blue Distance and Zhao Feng.


    "Celestial Net Sect Master, hurry and activate the sect-protecting array!" Ancient God Blue Distance grimaced as he bellowed.


    Hwooom!


    Suddenly, countless light blue streams of light appeared behind Ancient God Blue Distance. These streams of light flew through the air, coalescing into a heaven-shaking blue dragon.


    Ancient God Blue Distance spread apart his arms, releasing countless icy streams of light, which created a massive ice storm.


    Brrrooom!


    Both the massive blue dragon and the storm of ice attacked Ancient God Darkcrow.


    "Keke, you''re looking down on this old man too much!" Ancient God Darkcrow began to wave around his spear, sending out wave after wave of dark brown fire.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    It took only a few moments for Ancient God Blue Distance''s ice storm to be completely annihilated. Even the blue dragon created through the power of the Celestial Net Sect Master and the Celestial Net Sect''s upper echelons was being pushed back again and again.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s Divine Power began to surge as he prepared to strike.


    "Zhao Feng, you deal with the peak Rank Eight while the Celestial Net Sect Master and I hold down the Rank Nine Ancient God!" Ancient God Blue Distance ordered.


    "Mm." Zhao Feng nodded and looked at the giant middle-aged man.


    The giant man was in the middle of battling with two elders of the Celestial Net Sect, one a Rank Eight and the other a peak Rank Seven.


    "Haha, die for me!" The giant man suddenly activated his bloodline energy.


    Boom! Swoosh!


    His entire body became transparent like glass as well as incredibly tough. Golden tattoos flashed as his body began to exude powerful scorching flames.


    The peak Rank Seven Celestial Net Sect Elder was instantly sent flying, vomiting blood.


    "Sunderflame Fist!" The giant man stared at the Rank Eight elder, brought both fists together, and unleashed a destructive fireball.


    Brrrooom!


    A fireball as hot as lava pressed forward with crushing momentum.


    The Rank Eight elder became ghastly pale. He unleashed several powerful attacks with his sword, but all of them were crushed by the fireball.


    The searing hot fireball was about to pulverize him, but suddenly, a dreamy silver figure shot in front of the elder. Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng gathered Chaos Origin Divine Power in his right hand and punched. A fist made of dark silver energy and suffused with a strange devouring forcefield collided with the fireball.


    Boom! Bang!


    The fireball was blown apart, and the dark silver fist devoured some of the flame energy before continuing forward.


    "How...?" The giant man grimaced. Though they were both Rank Eight Ancient Gods, his supreme skill was completely crushed by Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    The giant man fired off several more fists before finally succeeding in shattering the dark silver fist.


    "This is Zhao Feng?" The giant man stared at Zhao Feng in disbelief.


    As a member of the Blazing Gold Race, he naturally knew about Zhao Feng''s current condition. Based on what he knew, Zhao Feng at the time of his disappearance was a Rank Seven Ancient God but was now unexpectedly a peak Rank Eight.


    He originally believed that Zhao Feng was simply anxious to increase his cultivation level, leaving him actually rather weak, but this didn''t seem to be the case at all.


    On the other side, Ancient God Blue Distance and the Celestial Net Sect Master were once more pushed back by Ancient God Darkcrow.


    "Eh? Zhao Feng seems to have the upper hand?" Ancient God Blue Distance just so happened to catch the giant man hurriedly using several attacks to shatter Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "Just now, that was... Chaos Origin Divine Power!?"


    The Spiritual Race did not have many techniques for Ancient Gods to cultivate, and so Ancient God Blue Distance was able to conjecture from Zhao Feng''s Divine Power and his techniques the art that Zhao Feng cultivated: the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique.


    The power of this art depended on the number and strength of one''s Intents. But a normal person already found it difficult to cultivate one Intent to be equal with one''s cultivation level, let alone cultivate more. Besides that, fusing all the Intents together was a difficult prospect in its own right.


    But just now, the Chaos Origin Divine Power Zhao Feng used far exceeded that of peak Rank Eight.


    "Keke, you still have time to pay attention to others while fighting this old man?" Ancient God Darkcrow savagely chuckled as his dark brown flames shot toward Ancient God Blue Distance like bolts of lightning.


    "Darkflame Extermination!" Ancient God Darkcrow swept his spear through the air.


    Boom! Swoosh!


    Dark brown flames combined into a massive wave that surged toward Ancient God Blue Distance.


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Blue Distance turned grim as he burned Divine Power. Using a secret art, he formed a transparent crystal barrier.


    Kacrack!


    The waves of flame came again and again, endlessly battering against the crystal barrier. On the fourth round, Ancient God Blue Distance''s barrier shattered.


    Kacrack!


    He flew backward, smashing into a building.


    "Ancient God Blue Distance!" Celestial Net Sect Master worriedly called out.


    As a member of the Blazing Gold Race, Ancient God Darkcrow had a formidable defense. Just now, he was able to ignore the blue dragon and launch a fierce attack against Ancient God Blue Distance, which instantly defeated him.


    Whoosh!


    A crystalline light shot out of the ruins. Passing by Ancient God Ice Origin, it took him into a special dimension. Then, Ancient God Blue Distance immediately erupted with a speed comparable to a Rank Nine Ancient God and fled.


    This left both the Celestial Net Sect and the Blazing Gold Race stunned. The strongest person in the Celestial Net Sect was Ancient God Blue Distance, and now, he had taken his son and run away.


    "No...!" the Celestial Net Sect Master cried out in despair.


    The other members also lost the will to fight and stood in a daze.


    "Haha, your commander has fled! This is the style of the Spiritual Race!" Ancient God Darkcrow began to laugh.


    Zhao Feng was somewhat speechless as he watched Ancient God Blue Distance run. The Divine Power he could exert was only the Divine Power he had when he was at peak Rank Eight, but before he could even kill the enemy peak Rank Eight, Ancient God Blue Distance had already run off.


    "Zhao Feng, you have no chance of winning, so why not join the Blazing Gold Race? In any case, you don''t have the Spiritual Race bloodline. Once the Blazing Gold Race defeats the Spiritual Race, Zhao Yufei will still be yours!" Ancient God Darkcrow stared at Zhao Feng and gave a wicked smile.


    The sight of Zhao Feng earlier inexplicably made him feel uneasy, but now that Ancient God Blue Distance had run off, no matter how powerful Zhao Feng was, even if he was far more powerful than a regular peak Rank Eight, it would still be pointless.


    "Is that so?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    This was his first battle, so Zhao Feng certainly didn''t want to lose.


    "Elder, let''s capture him first After you torture him a bit, he''ll naturally yield!" The giant man gave a savage smile as he charged forward, circulating Divine Power.


    "You don''t know your place!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused, and Spacetime Intent immediately began to fill the area.


    Swish!


    He vanished from his original position and appeared behind the giant man.


    "Spatial Blink?" The giant man didn''t care. He activated his powerful physical body and prepared for close combat Swoosh!


    A turbid dark silver sword gathered around Zhao Feng''s hand and then stabbed into the giant man''s body. "How could this be?" The giant man was stunned; his tenacious body had been pierced through by Zhao Feng.


    The giant man wanted to struggle, but he found his every movement to be exceptionally slow. Moreover, his Divine Power was in chaos and rapidly draining away, and he couldn''t put up any resistance at all.

 1409 Reversal and Counterattack

    Chapter 1409 - Reversal and Counterattack "How...!?" the giant man wailed.


    As a member of the Blazing Gold Race, he couldn''t even imagine how a person of the same cultivation level could have so easily pierced through the defenses of his physical body. Moreover, the Divine Power in his body was in disarray and rapidly draining away. His every movement was in slow motion, making him incapable of resistance.


    Swish! Plush!


    Zhao Feng pulled the Chaos Origin Divine Sword out of the giant man and then plunged it back in once more.


    Devour and absorb! Not only was Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Sword not weakening, it was actually getting stronger. Its dreadful force field tore the giant man apart, vanquishing him in both body and soul.


    All this happened so suddenly that a stunned silence ensued. The despairing Celestial Net Sect Master and Celestial Net Sect members all stared straight at Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng killed that peak Rank Eight!" the Celestial Net Sect Master said in a dazed voice. He never would''ve imagined that this would happen after Ancient God Blue Distance ran off.


    "What''s going on? How did the peak Rank Eight of the Blazing Gold Race suddenly get killed by Zhao Feng?" The other members, who had somewhat lower cultivation levels, found it somewhat difficult to understand what had transpired.


    Logically speaking, it was extremely difficult for cultivators of the same rank to kill each other, but Zhao Feng appeared to have done so very easily.


    "Kid, you killed him...!?" Ancient God Darkcrow finally reacted, his face twisting in rage and his eyes erupting with killing intent.


    A major victory seemed imminent, but now, he had suddenly lost a peak Rank Eight Moreover, that giant man had been killed right in front of his eyes.


    "Ah! Although they lost a peak Rank Eight, they still have a Rank Nine Ancient God!" The Celestial Net Sect Master''s mood darkened once more as he looked to Ancient God Darkcrow.


    If Ancient God Blue Distance had not fled, the three of them might have been able to work together to push back Ancient God Darkcrow.


    "If you''re sending yourselves to your deaths, why shouldn''t I kill you?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled at Ancient God Darkcrow. "Junior, the more impudent you act, the more miserable your death will be." Ancient God Darkcrow stared at Zhao Feng.


    In his view, all that had happened just now was because the giant man was too careless, allowing Zhao Feng to strike with a lethal sneak attack. But he, Ancient God Darkcrow, would never take his opponents lightly.


    Whoosh!


    In a dark flash, Ancient God Darkcrow shot toward Zhao Feng, thrusting out his spear. A dark brown and tyrannical flame immediately spewed forth. The dark brown flames were also mixed with chaotic Space energy that disturbed space and made it impossible for Zhao Feng to use Instant Movement


    Thwish!


    Countless streams of gold light appeared on Zhao Feng, and then he turned into a streak of light and vanished into the distance. The flame blasted through the afterimage Zhao Feng had left behind and into the ground, leaving a scorched crater more than one thousand feet deep.


    Seeing his attack miss, Ancient God Darkcrow immediately pursued, his spear firing off ball after ball of dark brown flame into the darkness, causing both friend and foe to retreat in fear. However, Zhao Feng agilely dodged in the sky, even waving around his Chaos Origin Divine Sword a few times to easily dispatch of few enemy soldiers.


    "This kid...! Even without using Spatial Blink, he''s still so fast!" Ancient God Darkcrow''s expression darkened. Even though he was a Rank Nine Ancient God, he was still much slower than Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng appeared to be ignoring Ancient God Darkcrow''s existence and slaughtering all the other Blazing Gold Race members.


    "Great! I didn''t think that Zhao Feng would be so fast!" The Celestial Net Sect Master was shocked. He felt like he could see a sliver of hope.


    The other members of the Celestial Net Sect also became reinvigorated by this sight.


    "Aaaah! Aaaah...!" Screams rang out endlessly over the skies of the Celestial Net Sect.


    A streak of golden light flew through the air, taking a life or two with each passing and splattering the skies with blood. And now that the Celestial Net Sect members had also begun to attack, the losses of the Blazing Gold Race began to soar.


    "Aaargh...!" Even someone as composed as Ancient God Darkcrow was now fuming with a thunderous anger. At this moment, he could only watch as Zhao Feng cut down his men.


    What made him feel even more helpless was that it seemed like Zhao Feng was playing with him. Every time he was about to catch up, Zhao Feng would suddenly get much faster and easily escape his grasp.


    Although Zhao Feng''s cultivation was sealed at peak Rank Eight, he still maintained his high-level skills and understanding.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that he didn''t want to put on too impressive of a display, he would have long ago slain this Ancient God Darkcrow.


    "Kill! Kill all the Blazing Gold Race members!" The Celestial Net Sect Master and many of the sect''s upper echelon members rallied and plunged into the battle.


    The Blazing Gold Race members were enemies who had invaded their sect and killed their colleagues. Moreover, killing the Blazing Gold Race members could get them contribution points that they could exchange for precious resources that they could rarely get their hands on normally.


    With Zhao Feng leading the way, the Celestial Net Sect quickly gained the upper hand. Not long after, most of the Blazing Gold Race members that Ancient God Darkcrow had brought with him had been slain. Quite a few more had fled in panic.


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Feng would be so fast that he could leave even a Rank Nine Ancient God in the dust!" The Celestial Net Sect Master looked up reverentially at that streak of golden light.


    It was precisely because of Zhao Feng''s advantage in speed that Ancient God Darkcrow had not retreated, allowing the Celestial Net Sect to turn defeat into a miraculous victory.


    "...we''ve lost!" Ancient God Darkcrow had an extremely nasty expression.


    He never would''ve imagined that the battle would turn out like this. At this moment, he only had a few weak True Gods and one Rank Seven Ancient God left under his command, but the Celestial Net Sect''s losses were almost insignificant


    "Surround and kill the Blazing Gold Race!" Zhao Feng immediately roared.


    The experts of the Celestial Net Sect charged forward. Meanwhile, the ordinary True Gods of the Celestial Net Sect began to lay down arrays or went to once more activate the defensive array. The Celestial Net Sect Master took control over the sect- protecting array, sending a blue dragon at Ancient God Darkcrow.


    "Just you wait! Next time, this old man will wash the Celestial Net Sect in blood!" Ancient God Darkcrow hoarsely roared, the loathing in his heart at its maximum.


    Swish!


    Ancient God Darkcrow led his remaining men in retreat.


    "Did I say I was going to let you go?" At this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly appeared in front of Ancient God Darkcrow, a gentle smile on his face.


    "Junior, if this old man wants to leave, you won''t be able to stop me!" Ancient God Darkcrow growled.


    In his view, Zhao Feng was only superior to him in speed. His actual strength was still inferior to that of a Rank Nine Ancient God''s.


    "Then let me try!" A playful smile appeared on Zhao Feng''s face as he shot forward.


    Whoosh!


    Dark silver Chaos Origin Divine Power condensed into a sword and stabbed forward.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Darkcrow swept out with his spear once more, and after the two exchanged a few blows in the air, they parted.


    Ancient God Darkcrow was alarmed as he glanced at the wounds on his body. Although they were extremely small, the attacks had broken through his defenses.


    At the same time, he also sensed that Zhao Feng had managed to absorb a significant portion of his energy. Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Sword thrummed with power and appeared to be even more powerful than before.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Darkcrow was startled and stunned. Even the defenses of his Rank Nine Ancient God body had been easily broken by Zhao Feng?


    Boom!


    At this moment, the Celestial Net Sect Master and the other Ancient Gods of the Celestial Net Sect charged over. Ancient God Darkcrow was instantly surrounded.


    "Damn!" Ancient God Darkcrow grimaced, knowing that he was in a bad predicament.


    He was just preparing to use one of his life-saving measures, when suddenly, a strange ripple of energy came from behind him. A moment later, a dark silver sword stabbed through his chest, carrying with it a vast quantity of gold and red blood!


    Boom!


    A chaotic burst of energy shot forward and engulfed Ancient God Darkcrow''s body. The lethality of this energy instantly made Ancient God Darkcrow sense that his death was imminent.


    "This is impossible! Your strength...!?" Ancient God Darkcrow was dumbstruck. The strength Zhao Feng displayed at this moment was far above even a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    That high-level movement technique and level of understanding, the powerful combat skills and Divine Power, and that Intent energy; these were not things that a peak Rank Eight Ancient God should have possessed.


    But Ancient God Darkcrow, who knew all this, did not get a chance to speak.


    Swoosh!


    With a swing of his sword, Zhao Feng cut Ancient God Darkcrow in two.


    "Dead?" The members of the Celestial Net Sect were dazed.


    Although they had Ancient God Darkcrow surrounded, he wasn''t that badly injured. He should have still had some trump cards available to him. But in an instant, Zhao Feng had exterminated him.


    "Slain in a single blow!?" The Celestial Net Sect was stunned.


    "Ancient God Darkcrow, thank you for your Divine Power! You''ve made my Chaos Origin Divine Power grow even stronger!" Zhao Feng smiled.


    "So, Lord Zhao Feng''s Divine Power was so extraordinary, capable of absorbing the Divine Power of others to increase its strength!"


    "Lord Zhao Feng is truly a rare genius of the Spiritual Race!"


    The majority of the Celestial Net Sect looked admiringly at Zhao Feng, and quite a few female disciples began to regard Zhao Feng as their ideal man.


    From start to finish, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Power had constantly gotten stronger. After absorbing Ancient God Darkcrow''s power, his Divine Power attacks were even more powerful. With the other members of the Celestial Net Sect surrounding and suppressing Ancient God Darkcrow, Zhao Feng had enough time to gather energy and slay Ancient God Darkcrow with a single blow. All of this seemed to occur with little difficulty.


    Only the Celestial Net Sect Master found this very confusing. When he looked at Zhao Feng, he suddenly found this youth to be like the vast starry sky, mysterious and unfathomable.


    "We were able to defeat the Blazing Gold Race this time thanks to the cooperation of everyone in the Celestial Net Sect." Zhao Feng turned to the Celestial Net Sect members and smiled.


    With the battle over, the entire Celestial Net Sect went to work counting up the casualties and repairing the damage done to the sect.


    Zhao Feng returned to his own palace to cultivate.


    For his first battle, there was no need to put on too dazzling of a display. The war would last for a long time. He would slowly reveal more and more of his strength until revealing his actual cultivation would not garner any suspicion from others. Besides, fighting while suppressing his cultivation could be considered a sort of trial for Zhao Feng.


    The next morning, the entire Celestial Net Sect was still busy at work, when suddenly, two white streams of light descended. The Celestial Net Sect Master and several members looked over and saw that it was Ancient God Blue Distance and Ancient God Ice Origin.


    Ancient God Blue Distance had a stiff face as he slowly descended into the Celestial Net Sect, but Ancient God Ice Origin''s handsome face was red with shame, and it seemed like he wanted nothing more than to sink into the ground.


    "Last night, I was intending to get reinforcements. I didn''t think that you would be able to deal with the crisis by yourselves," Ancient God Blue Distance very awkwardly said.


    In truth, Ancient God Blue Distance and Ancient God Ice Origin had not actually fled very far. Thus, they managed to realize very quickly that the Celestial Net Sect had pushed the Blazing Gold Race back.


    "Many thanks for the concern, Ancient God Blue Distance," the Celestial Net Sect Master blandly replied.


    After all, Ancient God Blue Distance was a peak Rank Eight Ancient God of the Spiritual Race. Given the complicated web of relationships in place, he did not dare to offend him. But silently to himself, the Celestial Net Sect Master disdainfully said, "Did you need to bring your son with you when calling for reinforcements?"


    The Celestial Net Sect disciples all had looks of disdain and scorn, but they said nothing.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng emerged with a smile on his face and looked at the father and son who had fled in the middle of the battle.


    "Zhao Feng, tell me, how did all of you manage to resolve the crisis last night and push back the enemy?" Ancient God Blue Distance focused his gaze on Zhao Feng and immediately asked.

 1410 Sneak Attack in the Nigh

    Chapter 1410 - Sneak Attack in the Night


    "Zhao Feng, tell me, how did all of you manage to resolve the crisis last night and push back the enemy?" Ancient God Blue Distance focused his gaze on Zhao Feng and immediately asked.


    Defeat was clearly inevitable last night, and when he, the commander-in-chief, ran away, the Celestial Net Sect''s doom should have been even more certain. But the result was completely unexpected; not only did the Celestial Net Sect survive, it even defeated the Blazing Gold Race, and he heard that the Blazing Gold Race had suffered gruesome losses.


    The Celestial Net Sect members who saw this sight couldn''t help but quietly chuckle.


    When Ancient God Blue Distance and his son fled, the one who saved the Celestial Net Sect was naturally Zhao Feng. The fact that they still had the face to come back was admirable enough, but now, they were even questioning Zhao Feng?


    "Last night, Ancient God Blue Distance, when you went to ''get reinforcements,'' the Blazing Gold Race let down their guard. While the peak Rank Eight Ancient God was being careless, I made a sneak attack and killed him," Zhao Feng said.


    Strange looks appeared on the faces of the Celestial Net Sect members. There was nothing wrong with Zhao Feng''s explanation, but it almost sounded like he was praising Ancient God Blue Distance.


    But this sort of praise only made Ancient God Blue Distance feel even more ashamed.


    "You killed that peak Rank Eight Ancient God?" But Ancient God Blue Distance was more concerned about the last part, and he stared at Zhao Feng in shock.


    Although he had seen Zhao Feng attack once last night and found Zhao Feng to have decent strength, killing a peak Rank Eight was completely unexpected.


    Ancient God Ice Origin was even more shocked. Zhao Feng was capable of killing a peak Rank Eight?


    "Right. Once Ancient God Blue Distance left, that giant man didn''t hold me in any regard, leading to such a result. Moreover, the members of the Celestial Net Sect put up a vigorous resistance to contend with the Blazing Gold Race. In the end, by relying on the sect-protecting array and the terrain, we were able to unite and kill Ancient God Darkcrow!" Zhao Feng added.


    Ancient God Blue Distance dubiously accepted the first half, but when he heard that Ancient God Darkcrow had been killed, he was left dumbfounded.


    "How could that be? It was all because Zhao Feng was so courageous and worked to reverse the tides!" the Celestial Net Sect Master immediately smiled and said.


    Zhao Feng had done his utmost to minimize his contribution in his explanation and praise them. The upper echelon members of the Celestial Net Sect found themselves rather embarrassed by all this praise.


    All levels of the Celestial Net Sect developed an even better impression of Zhao Feng. He was strong, conscientious, responsible, and modest. Comparing him to Ancient God Blue Distance and his son was like comparing the heavens to the earth.


    "Ancient God Darkcrow is dead?" Ancient God Blue Distance and his son were frozen to the spot, their minds blank.


    There''s something fishy going on here! Ancient God Blue Distance''s expression dimmed.


    How could a mighty Rank Nine Ancient God fall in a place like this? He guessed that Ancient God Darkcrow had not died and had actually fled while heavily injured or that reinforcements from the Spiritual Race had arrived and saved the Celestial Net Sect, but the Celestial Net Sect was unhappy over how he fled and made up these lies to intentionally infuriate him.


    Ancient God Blue Distance had suffered a heavy blow, and he had lost the trust of the Celestial Net Sect. Even if he continued to ask questions, he wouldn''t learn very much. Even worse was that the Celestial Net Sect seemed to have developed an excellent relationship with Zhao Feng.


    This kid... isn''t simple! Ancient God Blue Distance stared at Zhao Feng and pondered.


    Someone who could kill a peak Rank Eight Ancient God would have around the strength of an ordinary Rank Nine Ancient God. Moreover, he sensed that Zhao Feng had played an important role in turning the situation at the Celestial Net Sect from a defeat into a victory.


    But Ancient God Blue Distance was still the commander of this place and Zhao Feng still needed to follow his orders.


    "It''s fine as long as everyone is okay. I will continue to command everyone in protecting the Celestial Net Sect, slaying the Blazing Gold Race, and making our names known throughout the Ziling Zone!" Ancient God Blue Distance loudly proclaimed.


    Ancient God Blue Distance then brought Ancient God Ice Origin back into the Celestial Net Sect.


    Inside their room:


    "Father, why did we need to come back?" Ancient God Ice Origin felt utterly humiliated.


    He was a genius of the Spiritual Race, and he had never done anything so shameful as fleeing in the middle of a battle and then having the nerve to come back.


    "If the Celestial Net Sect had been destroyed, we would have just been considered as lucky survivors, but since the Celestial Net Sect is fine, if the matter of us fleeing in the middle of battle spread back to the Spiritual Race, we wouldn''t have the face to see anyone in the future. I''ve come back so that I can have this matter suppressed," Ancient God Blue Distance immediately called out.


    Ancient God Ice Origin nodded. His father was right. Right now, they were only ashamed in front of the Celestial Net Sect, but if they were humiliated in front of the entire Spiritual Race, his reputation would be in complete shambles.


    "In addition, with this failed attack, the Blazing Gold Race definitely won''t attack again for the time being. By coming back, we can rest easy while still obtaining many contribution points." Ancient God Blue Distance put on a crafty smile.


    "Father is right!" Ancient God Ice Origin also smiled.


    As members of the Spiritual Race, they only needed to guard important factions or strongholds to obtain contribution points. If they had the time, they could go to the aid of nearby factions and kill a few foes to gain even more contribution points.


    Outside:


    "Brother Zhao, why didn''t you tell the truth? I think that you''re more suitable for the position of commander!" the Celestial Net Sect Master whispered.


    The miraculous victory from last night had made the Celestial Net Sect Master momentarily forget his unhappiness, but he hadn''t expected for Ancient God Blue Distance and his son to so shamelessly return.


    Although Zhao Feng was young, he was powerful, responsible, and modest. He was confident that no one would object if Zhao Feng was made commander.


    "I don''t like being commander. It''s too troublesome." Zhao Feng chuckled before heading back into his palace.


    He cared little for these achievements or benefits, so he couldn''t be bothered to assume such duties. He just wanted to stay on the battlefield and hone himself while gradually revealing his true cultivation.


    "This person is truly open-minded and concerned about the overarching situation. If the Spiritual Race was to have an internal squabble while in the middle of this war..." The Celestial Net Sect looked at Zhao Feng''s back, feeling somewhat ashamed.


    Upon entering his residence, Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe.


    At this time, Zhao Wang, Zhao Kong, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were all cultivating within. Zhao Kong had long ago reached Rank Nine and had also smoothly taken control over that powerful pair of Eyes of Spacetime.


    Zhao Feng also seated himself cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.


    Firstly, he split off a part of his mind to cultivate Spacetime Intent and Five Elements Intent. For every little bit stronger these Intents became, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Power would also get that much stronger.


    After taking so many extremely precious Time resources, Zhao Feng had greatly boosted his ability to comprehend Time Intent. This, together with the help of the Ancestral Artifact fragment, meant that Zhao Feng comprehended Time Intent the fastest, and it had already reached the peak of Level Seven.


    And Zhao Feng''s Space Intent was on the verge of reaching the peak of Level Eight, only requiring just a little longer.


    Zhao Feng was in no rush. He preferred to take things step by step so that his foundations were firm.


    Besides his strength, Zhao Feng also focused on his soul. The advantages conferred by the God''s Spiritual Eye allowed Zhao Feng''s soul to strengthen at a much faster rate than the ordinary person. His soul was his greatest advantage.


    "My Soul Intent has already reached peak Rank Nine. If I get it a little higher, it will be even easier to deal with half-step God Lords!" Zhao Feng found himself rather anticipating this development.


    After taking several Lightning Soul Crystals, he began to refine his soul and increase the Lightning energy in his Lightning Soul Body.


    Thirty days passed within the Spacetime Robe, during which Zhao Feng completely absorbed the energy within the Lightning Soul Crystals and a portion of his soul cultivation resources.


    After that, Zhao Feng set his sights on another combat skill in the fourth level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique: the Chaos Heaven Void Ring.


    In contrast to the Chaos Origin Divine Sword, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring was a defensive skill. The Chaos Heaven Void Ring had another trait besides its defensive in that its devouring effect was even stronger. It could devour all the energy converging onto it and use it to strengthen itself.


    "This Chaos Heaven Void Ring is more suited for group battles. I can instantly absorb the energy of the surrounding attacks and use it to strengthen the Chaos Origin Divine Sword so I can give my foes a fatal strike!"


    Moreover, battles during a war were more chaotic, and Zhao Feng had long ago ceased to have the advantage of a sturdy physical body. This made cultivating the Chaos Heaven Void Ring an extremely appropriate choice for his situation.


    With this idea in mind, Zhao Feng began to cultivate.


    Several days passed in the Spacetime Robe.


    A chaotic barrier of turbid silver energy appeared around Zhao Feng, suffused with a devouring forcefield that absorbed the energy of the world around him.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    This dark silver barrier appeared to become even more solid.


    "Not bad! It can absorb other energies to strengthen its defenses."


    The time ratio in the Spacetime Robe was now 50 to 1. Two days passed in the outside world, which was one hundred days in the Spacetime Robe.


    On the night of the second day:


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several incredibly well-hidden energies entered the Celestial Net Sect.


    "Our intelligence reports indicate that, after Zhao Feng entered the war zone, he went to the Celestial Net Sect."


    "Do we need to be so sneaky? Why not just attack the place and seize Zhao Feng?"


    Four blurry figures appeared in the air. Their four auras were so well-hidden that they seemed to be one with the darkness and the air, practically unnoticeable.


    Powerful Divine Senses from the Celestial Net Sect would occasionally sweep by, but they failed to notice them.


    "I heard that the Blazing Gold Race dispatched a Rank Nine Ancient God to attack this place, but the Celestial Net Sect is still here, meaning that the Rank Nine Ancient God failed. Thus, this Celestial Net Sect is somewhat difficult to deal with," an emaciated old man, his body as pitch-black as a shadow, said.


    "That''s right The order given to us by Ancient God Iceflame was only to capture Zhao Feng. There''s no need to make things complicated," a tall and bulky man said, his eyes cold and vicious. Although he was suppressing it, there were still ghostly flames rising from his body.


    Ancient God Darkcrow''s attempt to take the Celestial Net Sect had happened only a few days ago and had not fully spread. Only an extremely small number of people knew the full details of that battle.


    This group of people had come on Ancient God Iceflame''s order. They had set off immediately after learning Zhao Feng''s location.


    "I''ve found the kid! I''ll make a sneak attack, and then the rest of you should immediately move to suppress him, and then we''ll run," the elder said, taking up the position at the very front.


    All of them had complete faith in the methods of this Ancient God Shadow Death. Ancient God Shadow Death was a Rank Nine Ancient God who Ancient God Iceflame had become acquainted with in her travels. He was skilled in pursuit and assassination.


    It was rumored that the blood of the 18th ranked Shadow Race flowed in the veins of Ancient God Shadow Death. Although it was a rather thin bloodline, it was enough for him to freely travel in darkness and kill without leaving a trace.


    Thwish!


    The group silently approached Zhao Feng''s residence.


    "Get ready!" Ancient God Shadow Death called out, and then he transformed into a shadowy stream that attacked the air to force Zhao Feng to come out.


    Swish!


    Before Ancient God Shadow Death could even attack, a straight-backed silver-haired youth suddenly appeared in the palace, a nonchalant look on his face. "Were all of you dawdling around for so long because you were looking for this Zhao?''

 1411 Chaos Heaven Void Ring

    Chapter 1411 - Chaos Heaven Void Ring


    Ancient God Shadow Death and his team were all ready to rush at Zhao Feng the moment they forced him out so that they could capture him, but none of them had expected for Zhao Feng to appear before they could even strike. This sight left all of them momentarily stunned.


    "Were all of you dawdling around for so long because you were looking for this Zhao?" Zhao Feng nonchalantly scanned the group of four.


    In this team of four, the emaciated pitch-black elder and the tall and bulky black-clothed man were Rank Nine Ancient Gods. The black-clothed man was clearly a member of the Blazing Gold Race while the elder had a body like a shadow, almost fused with the darkness. If one wasn''t looking carefully, one would be incapable of sensing him. This was completely in line with someone who had the bloodline of the 18th ranked Shadow Race.


    The black-armored old man and the gold-masked young man were peak Rank Eight.


    "He noticed us beforehand?" The bulky middle-aged man''s eyes gleamed with cold light.


    "No, he noticed us the moment we came inside!" Ancient God Shadow Death messaged.


    In his career of assassination, this sort of thing had never before happened. Even before he had attacked, an assassination target of lower cultivation had already noticed him. And from Zhao Feng''s words just now, it was obvious that he had long ago sensed their presence.


    "Hurry and capture him, and then we''ll leave!" the black-armored elder immediately ordered.


    Ancient God Shadow Death was taken aback. This composed youth who had suddenly appeared in front of him felt like someone he couldn''t see through at all.


    But they had two Rank Nine Ancient Gods and two peak Rank Eights on their side. For them to be afraid of Zhao Feng''s words with such an array of forces was truly rather laughable.


    Swish!


    A gray knife appeared in Ancient God Shadow Death''s hand. Black tendrils emerged from his body and curled around the gray knife. The gray knife instantly seemed to fuse with the black tendrils, becoming almost undetectable.


    Swoosh!


    Ancient God Shadow Death himself did not move, but a black tendril extended out of his hand, taking control of this knife and thrusting it at Zhao Feng.


    On the other end, the black-clothed man brought his fists together, immediately unleashing a wave of golden flame. Brrrooom!


    A halo of flame spread outward, annihilating everything in its path.


    The two peak Rank Eights took out high-quality divine artifacts and unleashed powerful attacks.


    At this moment, the powerful attacks of two Rank Nine Ancient Gods and two peak Rank Eights hurtled toward Zhao Feng. "I''ll use you to try out my new skill!"


    A certain distance from Zhao Feng, Chaos Origin Divine Power surged out and formed a domed barrier made of turbid silver light. Before the four attacks could even land, a devouring energy appeared on that silver dome that began absorbing energy to strengthen its power. As the four attacks got closer and closer, the devouring energy got stronger and stronger.


    Boom! Bang!


    The attacks of the peak Rank Eight and the black-clothed man were greatly weakened after having their energy absorbed, and when they struck the silver dome of light, they scattered and produced little effect.


    "How could this be? Our Divine Power attacks seemed to get weaker as they got closer to that kid!" The black-clothed man was taken aback.


    Only Ancient God Shadow Death''s attack, condensed on the divine artifact, was able to pierce through the dark silver defensive barrier.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    At this moment, the dark silver barrier suddenly surged, gathering into Zhao Feng''s hand in the form of a Chaos Origin Divine Sword. This Chaos Origin Divine Sword had just absorbed the attacks of the group of four and was incredibly powerful.


    Clingclang!


    Zhao Feng fiercely swung the sword, knocking aside that shadow knife. Zhao Feng then cast out the Chaos Origin Divine Sword. His target was none other than the pitch-black Ancient God Shadow Death.


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Shadow Death''s eyes flashed.


    This sword flew far too quickly. He hadn''t expected for Zhao Feng to be able to counterattack in this situation.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Strange black streams of energy began to roil on the surface of Ancient God Shadow Death''s body. The Chaos Origin Divine Sword pierced through his chest, but it simply went straight through and out. After a burst of ripples, Ancient God Shadow Death''s body returned to normal, but his face appeared to be slightly pale.


    "That kid''s Divine Power attack is rather special. Even after I transformed into my Shadow Body and let the attack pass through me, it was still able to absorb a portion of my energy!" Ancient God Shadow Death gravely regarded Zhao Feng.


    His finger twitched, and then that black tendril retracted, returning the invisible knife to his hand.


    The other three were rather startled. Not only had Zhao Feng emerged unharmed, but he was also even able to attack Ancient God Shadow Death.


    "Not bad! This is only the basic version of the Chaos Heaven Void Ring, but it already has this sort of ability." Zhao Feng gave a satisfied smile.


    After saying this, Zhao Feng''s body flashed as he began to fly out.


    Meanwhile, several powerful energies within the Celestial Net Sect were approaching Zhao Feng''s residence.


    "Enemy attack!" The Celestial Net Sect Master scanned with his Divine Sense and grimaced.


    He hadn¡¯t expected for four enemies to infiltrate the sect without him noticing whatsoever. This was partially because the defensive and sensory measures damaged from the battle several days ago had not been fully repaired.


    "Zhao Feng, are you okay?" the Celestial Net Sect Master immediately asked.


    At this moment, Ancient God Blue Distance and his son also arrived on the scene.


    "The Blazing Gold Race just suffered a defeat, so why did they send another group so quickly?" Ancient God Blue Distance was rather annoyed.


    Upon scanning with his Divine Sense, his eyes went slack while his body trembled in shock.


    "Two Rank Nine Ancient Gods!" Ancient God Blue Distance''s heart began to beat faster.


    Ancient God Ice Origin instantly paled.


    Down below:


    "What do we do?" the black-clothed man asked. They were now completely exposed, their plan a complete failure.


    "Capture Zhao Feng. If we can''t capture him, kill him! But all of this must be done only if we are not in danger!" Ancient God Shadow Death messaged.


    "What danger can there be? There are only two peak Rank Eights." The black-armored elder faintly smiled.


    The four members sent by the Blazing Gold Race instantly began to surge with Divine Power.


    "Commander, what should we do?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    Although there were only four members, their cultivations far surpassed the members of the Celestial Net Sect. Moreover, they did not seem to have any intention of fleeing.


    Ancient God Blue Distance had a complicated look on his face, and he said nothing.


    Zhao Feng softly chuckled and said, "Ancient God Blue Distance, why don''t you go and ''get reinforcements!''"


    Zhao Feng placed a great deal of emphasis on his last two words.


    "You...!" Ancient God Blue Distance''s face twisted in anger, and he glared at Zhao Feng, but there was nothing he could say. Ancient God Ice Origin remembered what had happened previously and blushed in shame.


    "Put full efforts in defense! If we''re no match, then we''ll try for a fighting retreat!" Ancient God Blue Distance messaged all the other members.


    In the last battle, he had fled, causing him to lose any dignity and prestige he had. He had come back so that this matter wouldn''t get out and so that he could reform the impression the others had of him. Thus, this time, unless it was absolutely necessary, Ancient God Blue Distance could not flee.


    "Zhao Feng, you killed a Rank Eight last time, so your strength must not be bad. You''re responsible for holding down the Rank Nine Ancient God from the Blazing Gold Race!" Ancient God Blue Distance immediately ordered.


    In his view, Ancient God Shadow Death was seemingly injured and was probably easier to deal with, so he left the other Rank Nine Ancient God for Zhao Feng to deal with.


    "Celestial Net Sect Master, activate the sect-protecting array and join me in dealing with that emaciated elder!" Ancient God Blue Distance then gave an order to the Celestial Net Sect Master.


    This time, with their opponent apparently injured, it would probably be much easier for him and the Celestial Net Sect to deal with a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    Once Zhao Feng was defeated, he would call for a retreat. If there was any blame to be assigned later on, he would assign it all to Zhao Feng! In this way, he could both rid himself of Zhao Feng while also escaping any criticism for running away.


    "But..." The Celestial Net Sect Master wanted to say something, but then he stopped himself.


    Although Ancient God Blue Distance was clearly targeting Zhao Feng, he recalled just how mysterious and unfathomable Zhao Feng was. And Zhao Feng had killed a Rank Nine Ancient God before, so he probably wouldn''t encounter any problems this time.


    "Leave the kid to me. Once I succeed, immediately withdraw!" the black-clothed man of the Blazing Gold Race said, his eyes like cold sabers.


    Kaboom!


    Golden flames erupted from his body, and he charged toward Zhao Feng while shining as brightly as the sun.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body flashed, and then he appeared behind the black-clothed man and swung the Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    "Die!" The black-clothed man was not afraid. After activating his formidable physical body and using defensive skills, he punched at Zhao Feng with both fists.


    Swish! Hiss!


    Zhao Feng''s sword instantly cut through the black-clothed man''s defenses, releasing a shower of golden sparks. As for the black-clothed man''s attacks, Zhao Feng was able to easily avoid them.


    "This kid has incredibly powerful attacks!" The man felt his wounds, and anger welled up within him. In this first exchange, Zhao Feng had emerged completely unharmed while he, a body-refining expert, had been injured.


    Kaboom!


    The man fully activated his bloodline. The golden flames on his body became even more brilliant and exuded an even greater pressure. A normal person who approached would probably be rendered nigh immovable by the immense pressure exerted by this powerful bloodline energy.


    "If this kid gets close to me again, he''ll be finished!" The black-clothed man charged at Zhao Feng once more, firing off fists of flame energy that exploded in the air.


    Offense was the best defense for him. If Zhao Feng tried to get close to him, he would ignore his defenses and first defeat Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng did not try to avoid the black-clothed man as he got closer.


    "Chaos Heaven Void Ring!" Zhao Feng once more used the defensive skill of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique and began to approach the black-clothed man.


    "Seeking death!" The man instantly erupted with scorching energy and pressure in an attempt to restrain Zhao Feng. At the same time, his fists were flying, the heavens shaking as they unleashed what seemed like miniature explosive suns.


    "The attacks are too fierce. If I take it all at once, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring might not be able to hold." Zhao Feng hovered around the edge, using the Chaos Heaven Void Ring to absorb the surrounding energy.


    The Chaos Heaven Void Ring''s defensive abilities gradually got stronger and stronger.


    Boom! Bang!


    One of the black-robed man''s explosive energy fists exploded on the barrier, but it failed to breakthrough Zhao Feng''s defenses.


    In this fashion, Zhao Feng slowly approached, constantly absorbing the energy around him to strengthen the Chaos Heaven Void Ring. This lasted until he got into close combat with the black-clothed man, and his foe was momentarily incapable of breaking through his defenses.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng condensed a broad Chaos Origin Divine Sword, which he used to hack at the man''s sturdy body, leaving wound after wound. Of course, Zhao Feng did not directly clash with the man, instead choosing to fight while retreating.


    On the other end:


    "What''s going on? This old man''s movement techniques are so bizarre, and he makes lethal attack after lethal attack! Could he be a member of the Shadow Race?" Ancient God Blue Distance endlessly complained.


    He and the Celestial Net Sect Master were actually frightened and on edge in their battle with Ancient God Shadow Death. He did not pay attention to Zhao Feng''s battle, nor did he have the time to. This Ancient God Shadow Death was highly experienced and powerful. The slightest show of weakness would cause him to be struck by a lethal blow.


    At this moment, Ancient God Blue Distance was bearing many wounds while the Celestial Net Sect Master, though exhausted from controlling the array, was unwounded.


    "The situation... is not very good!" Ancient God Shadow Death glanced at Zhao Feng''s battle with the black-clothed man and growled. In his view, the crux to the outcome of this battle rested on Zhao Feng and the black-clothed man.


    "This kid, how could his defense skill be so strong...? Shatter for me!"


    Every fist and palm of the black-clothed man was incredibly powerful as they crashed at Zhao Feng. But Zhao Feng''s speed far surpassed his opponent, and this, together with the Chaos Heaven Void Ring, meant that he was still uninjured.


    "From the situation, that Shadow Race assassin is preparing to retreat." Zhao Feng had been paying attention to Ancient God Shadow Death this entire time. He could naturally see that Ancient God Shadow Death was the commander of this team.


    "Junior, don''t run if you''ve got the guts!" the black-clothed man roared.


    Zhao Feng was fast and his defenses were strong. Moreover, that strange barrier was even able to absorb his Divine Power. The black-clothed man was rather exhausted after all this battling.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng smiled as his body paused.


    "He actually stopped moving?" The man was suspicious, but he began to build a powerful skill in his body so that he could severely wound Zhao Feng in a single blow.


    "Heh, I''ve played with you long enough. I can get rid of you now," Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    Even with his cultivation sealed at peak Rank Eight, Zhao Feng was still capable of easily slaying this man. He was just intentionally playing around. After all, it would be far too shocking if he instantly killed his opponent.


    "Blazing Gold Fury Fist!" The man''s arms thrummed with Divine Power, and the flashing golden flames on his fists exuded a dangerous aura.


    The Blazing Gold Fury Fist was one of the Blazing Gold Race''s bloodline skills. It used the bloodline power of the Blazing Gold Race to instantly unleash the explosive energy of Metal and Fire.


    The peak Rank Eights of the Blazing Gold Race who were battling nearby with members of the Celestial Net Sect sensed this energy and immediately drew back a certain distance.


    Rumble!


    The black-clothed man rushed up to Zhao Feng, his fists radiating a dangerous energy that was about to strike Zhao Feng.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" Zhao Feng stood where he was, utterly unperturbed. His eyes focused on the black-clothed man''s head, and then his left eye began to pulse with Chaos Origin Divine Power and Eye Intent.


    Thwish!


    A moment later, a miniature sword of turbid silver shot out of his left eye.


    Not good...! The man sensed Zhao Feng''s attack, but this eye-bloodline technique was simply too fast. He was not an expert in speed and would find it very difficult to dodge. Besides, he believed that, if he could endure this attack, he would be able to defeat Zhao Feng.


    However, when that miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword approached, he suddenly sensed a dreadful Soul energy.


    But it was all too late.


    "Ah...!" The black-clothed man''s head was pierced straight through by the Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    Although the Chaos Origin Divine Sword was a physical attack, the eye-bloodline technique version could also damage the soul. In addition, though Zhao Feng had sealed his cultivation, he had not sealed his Soul Intent.


    A moment later, the black-clothed man was dead. The world suddenly dimmed.


    "Not good! He''s dead!" Ancient God Shadow Death grimaced.


    Everything had happened too quickly, and he was too far away to stop anything. It was difficult to imagine that Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique could instantly kill a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    As for the Celestial Net Sect Master and Ancient God Blue Distance, they had not been paying attention to Zhao Feng''s battle and had no idea what happened. But there was no question that Zhao Feng had killed a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    "How could this be? This kid managed to kill a Rank Nine Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race alone?" Ancient God Blue Distance found this rather hard to believe. Not even he and the Celestial Net Sect Master working together could do this!

 1412 A Half-Step God Lord Arrives

    Chapter 1412 - A Half-Step God Lord Arrives


    "How could this be? This kid managed to kill a Rank Nine Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race alone?" Ancient God Blue Distance was in disbelief.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, it was not rare for someone to kill a person above their level, but this usually happened with a person of a higher bloodline killing someone of a lower bloodline. It rarely happened with such highly- ranked races like the Spiritual Race and Blazing Gold Race. For this reason, Zhao Feng''s feat left everyone stunned and solemn.


    Alas, only a few people had witnessed the entire process of Zhao Feng killing the black-clothed man. Ancient God Blue Distance and the Celestial Net Sect Master were far inferior to Ancient God Shadow Death, and they needed to put all their focus on the battle, so they naturally had not seen it As for the other members of the Celestial Net Sect, they were busy dealing with the two peak Rank Eight experts. If it wasn''t for their advantage in numbers, they would have been long ago annihilated. Thus, very few people had been watching.


    The only people who could clearly see it were Ancient God Shadow Death and the two peak Rank Eights from the Blazing Gold Race.


    "This can''t be real... he actually killed a Rank Nine Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race!?" The two peak Rank Eights had seen everything, but they didn''t dare to believe it.


    Zhao Feng had reached peak Rank Eight in less than ten years. His foundation should have been incredibly unstable, so how could he possess such strength?


    This kid... is hiding something! Ancient God Shadow Death was mentally alarmed.


    From the time they had infiltrated and prepared for their sneak attack to this current fierce battle, Zhao Feng''s face was largely unperturbed. And just when Ancient God Shadow Death was preparing to retreat, Zhao Feng slew the black-clothed man in a single blow. Although it was only one technique, Ancient God Shadow Death had vaguely sensed Zhao Feng''s powerful Soul energy.


    "Retreat!" Ancient God Shadow Death roared, and then he began to fall back.


    Zhao Feng was simply too powerful, and they had already lost one Rank Nine Ancient God. If this continued, they would probably be completely wiped out


    "Retreat?" Ancient God Blue Distance was stunned.


    He and the Celestial Net Sect working together to fight Ancient God Shadow Death had to constantly be on their guard for fear that their foe might find some weakness, but at this moment, Ancient God Shadow Death chose to flee? All this was because Zhao Feng had killed a Rank Nine Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race.


    "Wonderful!" The Celestial Net Sect Master gleefully smiled.


    The Celestial Net Sect had once more averted the crisis and pushed back their foe. All the members of the Celestial Net Sect breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Want to leave?" Zhao Feng suddenly smiled.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng suddenly shot toward the black-armored elder.


    "No...!" The elder immediately paled. Zhao Feng could casually kill Rank Nine Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race, so wouldn''t he be even easier to kill?


    He immediately used a secret art and burned Divine Power, his entire body erupting with flames. Thwish!


    The black-armored elder''s speed momentarily reached that of a Rank Nine Ancient God, and he shot into the distance as a streak of golden light


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" Zhao Feng''s left eye once more pulsed, and the Chaos Origin Divine Power rapidly formed a miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    Thwish!


    A moment later, a miniature sword of turbid silver shot out of his left eye. The fleeing black-armored elder in the distance was pierced through by the Chaos Origin Divine Sword. His body was pulverized, and his soul was destroyed.


    Zhao Feng had no need to display his powerful Soul Intent and could still easily slay a peak Rank Eight. Since he had already killed a Rank Nine, there wouldn''t be anything too suspicious about him killing a peak Rank Eight


    "How terrifying...." The fleeing golden-masked youth couldn''t help but shiver in fear at this sight


    "You stay as well!" Zhao Feng''s eyes locked onto him.


    "No...!" The youth felt like the god of death had locked its gaze on him and immediately began to burn Divine Power so that he could escape.


    In the blink of an eye, the golden-masked youth had fled out of everyone''s vision.


    At this moment:


    Thwish!


    A miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword shot out of Zhao Feng''s left eye and into the distance. A moment later, everyone could hear a terrible scream and sense the vanishing of a soul.


    "Go!" Ancient God Shadow Death shot a profound glance at Zhao Feng before fusing into the dark night


    In just a few short moments, three of the four Blazing Gold Race experts had been slain.


    "This... he instantly killed a peak Rank Eight!" Ancient God Blue Distance trembled as he stared at Zhao Feng like he was a monster.


    Zhao Feng only needed a glance to take care of a peak Rank Eight Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race. In other words, he also could be taken care of with a single glance from Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Ancient God Blue Distance recalled how he had intentionally targeted Zhao Feng and suddenly felt like he was walking alongside death. With the strength Zhao Feng had displayed, even if he killed Ancient God Blue Distance, the Spiritual Race wouldn''t levy any heavy punishment


    "To think that he would be this powerful!" The Celestial Net Sect Master was stunned.


    He had earlier found Zhao Feng to be unfathomable and mysterious, but he had never expected that his true strength would be so dreadful. He could kill Rank Nine Ancient Gods and slay experts of the same rank with just a glance.


    The disciples of the Celestial Net Sect were also stunned, their admiring eyes fixed on Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve made a major contribution this time! I will report this to the Spiritual Race and make sure that you are richly rewarded!" Ancient God Blue Distance flew over and smiled.


    He never would''ve imagined that Zhao Feng had been hiding his strength this entire time. At this time, he only hoped that Zhao Feng would not take to heart the grudge he felt against him and his son.


    And if he could form a good relationship with Zhao Feng, that would naturally be wonderful. Zhao Feng had the potential to become a God Lord with very little problem.


    "That''s not necessary. We were able to win because of everyone''s efforts." Zhao Feng had a nonchalant look on his face. After saying this, he returned to his residence.


    "Ice Origin, remember, in the future, you must not provoke him. In fact, you should try your best to form a good relationship with him!" Ancient God Blue Distance quietly messaged Ancient God Ice Origin.


    "Yes!" Ancient God Ice Origin messaged back in reply, though internally, he felt sick.


    In an underground palace, secluded and cold:


    Swish!


    A black stream suddenly shot out, transforming into an emaciated elder.


    In front of Ancient God Shadow Death was a bed of icy jade, and lying upon this bed was a graceful woman with her back to Ancient God Shadow Death. But even with her back to him, her body still exuded an alluring aura. Her fair and slender legs seemed to be carved from white jade and were utterly flawless.


    "Failed?" Ancient God Iceflame''s cold and clear voice sounded out.


    "Zhao Feng was hiding his true strength. The other three members with me were all killed!" Ancient God Shadow Death


    lowered his head and clenched his teeth.


    Kabooom!


    The jade bed was suddenly awash with chilling flames, and Ancient God Iceflame''s body slowly faded away.


    But a moment later, she appeared next to Ancient God Shadow Death. Ancient God Shadow Death was instantly covered in a layer of ice that nearly froze the blood in his body.


    "It seems that I will have to make a personal appearance!" A faint smile appeared on Ancient God Iceflame''s peerlessly beautiful face.


    The Blazing Gold Race had sent two Rank Nine Ancient Gods this time, but they still failed. This array of forces was certain to arouse the attention of the Spiritual Race, and it would probably send reinforcements to the Celestial Net Sect. Ancient God Iceflame would not permit herself to fail, so this time, she would go herself.


    Ancient God Shadow Death was shocked. Ancient God Iceflame was actually planning to personally take action against a peak Rank Eight? But he did not dare to question Ancient God Iceflame''s will.


    "Yes... yes!" Ancient God Shadow Death repeatedly nodded.


    A few days later, the Celestial Net Sect returned to normal.


    All the members of the Celestial Net Sect were conserving their strength and recuperating. The two consecutive battles had caused them grievous casualties, but the fighting had also sharpened them.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng was in the middle of cultivating many Intents.


    The further one cultivated an Intent, the more difficult the process became. Even with many precious resources and incredible comprehension abilities, Zhao Feng still needed to spend an enormous amount of time in cultivation.


    Besides cultivating Intents, Zhao Feng would occasionally cultivate the Chaos Heaven Void Ring.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng opened his eyes and left the Spacetime Robe.


    A moment later, the temperature outside suddenly plunged and the world was immersed in an icy fog.


    Many of the members of the Celestial Net Sect were alarmed by this sudden cold. Moreover, the cold was only getting worse, and many places of the Celestial Net Sect had been frozen solid.


    "Oh no!" The Celestial Net Sect Master noticed that something was wrong and shot up into the sky.


    In the distance, the world seemed to have frozen, and a figure was slowly walking through the air.


    Her every step covered tens of thousands of li. In the blink of an eye, she reached the Celestial Net Sect


    At this moment, Ancient God Iceflame appeared like a frosty ice goddess. Her face was gorgeous, but it exuded a chill that made everyone not dare to approach.


    A freezing chill began to encroach upon the Celestial Net Sect If not for the defensive array, the disciples of the Celestial Net Sect below Ancient God Iceflame would have been instantly killed by this cold.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Ancient God Blue Distance and his son appeared outside.


    "Half-step... God Lord!" Ancient God Blue Distance murmured in shock as he sensed Ancient God Iceflame''s aura.


    At this moment, he wanted to run. But would he be able to run?


    Ancient God Blue Distance felt depressed. Ever since Zhao Feng had arrived, the Blazing Gold Race sent attack after attack, each one stronger than the last. First it was one Rank Nine Ancient God, then two, and now, it was a half-step God Lord!


    "How could this be? A half-step God Lord is actually taking part in a battle!?" Ancient God Ice Origin shivered. He sensed that his Divine Power and blood had seemingly been frozen, and he found it difficult to circulate them.


    "How could this be?" All the disciples of the Celestial Net Sect had looks of stunned despair.


    This time, there was truly no hope. A half-step God Lord could exterminate the Celestial Net Sect with a wave of their hand. "Truly... a half-step God Lord." Zhao Feng''s eyes sank.


    "You''re Zhao Feng, right?" An interested smile appeared on Ancient God Iceflame''s cold face.


    Do I have to reveal my true strength? Zhao Feng ignored Ancient God Iceflame and fell into thought.


    Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and his expression relaxed.


    Kabooom!


    The distant horizon trembled, and then a fog of white ice crystals accompanied by immense pressure descended. "This is...?" Ancient God Blue Distance and all the members of the Celestial Net Sect turned to look behind them.


    In that crystalline mist, they saw a gorgeous woman dressed in azure descending. Her posture was dignified and graceful, her face pure and beautiful. Her black brows, clear eyes, and waterfall of black hair caused her to exude the indescribable grace and nobility of a fairy.


    "Ancient God Origin Jade!" Ancient God Blue Distance rejoiced.


    "The Celestial Net Sect welcomes Elder Origin Jade of the Spiritual Race!" the Celestial Net Sect Master immediately said.


    All the members of the Celestial Net Sect immediately cheered. This was because Ancient God Origin Jade was also a halfstep God Lord. Moreover, she was the youngest half-step God Lord of the Spiritual Race, the Ancient God Origin Jade who had once been hailed as the number one female prodigy of the Spiritual Race.

 1413 Killing Ancient God Shadow Death

    Chapter 1413 - Killing Ancient God Shadow Death


    The arrival of Ancient God Origin Jade from the Spiritual Race restored hope to the despairing Celestial Net Sect


    "Ancient God Iceflame?" Ancient God Origin Jade spotted Ancient God Iceflame and was at first confused, but then she sneered.


    On the other side, Ancient God Iceflame stood in the middle of a world that was almost frozen solid, thick white and chilly mist curling around her body.


    "It''s you?" Ancient God Iceflame stared at Ancient God Origin Jade, her icy eyes getting even colder.


    Thwish!


    A pitch-black stream of energy appeared at Ancient God Iceflame''s side.


    "What''s going on? How did the Spiritual Race know that you would be coming, and they even sent a half-step God Lord!?" Ancient God Shadow Death was mentally alarmed.


    He had originally believed that, with Ancient God Iceflame joining in, the problem would be easily resolved. He had not expected for a half-step God Lord of the Spiritual Race to arrive.


    Brrrooom!


    On two sides of the world, two breathtakingly beautiful half-step God Lords stood in the air, their vast and invisible energies constantly clashing in the air, causing the air to thunder and boom.


    Everyone in the Celestial Net Sect was focused on these two half-step God Lords, not merely because of their invisible contest, but also because of their astonishing beauty. Ancient God Iceflame was like a snow fairy, beautiful and proud, while Ancient God Origin Jade was a noble and gorgeous queen carved from jade and crystal.


    But both of them shared a common trait: they stood high above and were nigh unreachable.


    "There''s something strange about the mood between these two half-step God Lords!"


    "You don''t know? Both of them possessed outstanding talent as children and were female prodigies of the same generation. Given the conflict between the Spiritual Race and the Blazing Gold Race, the two of them have been competing against each other since they were children!"


    "I didn''t think that the female prodigies of the Spiritual Race and Blazing Gold Race from back then would once more exchange blows!"


    The majority of the people in the Celestial Net Sect were familiar with the history between Ancient God Origin Jade and Ancient God Iceflame.


    "Our last bout was around eight hundred years ago, right? Let''s see just how much you''ve progressed!" Ancient God Origin Jade called out, and then she shot into the air.


    "Today will be the day I end your life!" Ancient God Iceflame''s eyes flashed as she charged forward.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The world rumbled as astonishing waves of Divine Power and countless shards of ice swept through it


    Fortunately, the two half-step God Lords were fighting some distance away from the Celestial Net Sect. Otherwise, the battle alone would have been enough to destroy the entire sect


    "This is a half-step God Lord! The power of Level Nine Intent truly is extraordinary!" the Celestial Net Sect Master muttered in shock.


    Ancient God Blue Distance and the other members of the Celestial Net Sect stared at that battle taking place on the distant horizon, but all they could see was snow, ice, and crystalline fog, within which two indistinct figures clashed.


    "Why did you appear here?" Ancient God Origin Jade directly asked. The war hadn''t yet reached a stage where half-step God Lords needed to enter the battlefield.


    "And why did you appear here?" Ancient God Iceflame was frigid and cold.


    She had not expected such a thing to occur when she decided to personally take action. She was confident that Ancient God Origin Jade had a reason for conning here.


    "Is that any of your business?" Ancient God Origin Jade appeared slightly angry as a jade-green crystal sword appeared in her hand.


    Swish! Bang!


    She unleashed a faint green blade of ice that cut through the world of ice and swept toward Ancient God Iceflame.


    "Ice Shatter!" Ancient God Iceflame extended a delicate hand and unleashed two balls of chilling gray-white flame.


    The two balls of flame collided with the massive green blade. In a flash, the massive blade and the two balls of fire froze together in the air. It took very little time for that massive blade of green energy to be completely frozen.


    "Ice Shatter!"


    "Crystal Explosion!"


    The two women shouted at the same time.


    Brrrooom!


    The frozen blade immediately exploded into thousands of crystal shards that scattered throughout the world like a miraculous rain of crystal. The mountains near the Celestial Net Sect were left pockmarked with holes or frozen into mountains of ice.


    "If this continues, the Celestial Net Sect''s defensive array won''t be able to hold!" The Celestial Net Sect Master had a bitter expression on his face.


    Zhao Feng used his left eye to see through all obstructions and observe the battle between the two half-step God Lords.


    The two of them have about the same level of strength, and they''re both using their full power to try to push their opponent into a desperate position. It''s difficult to determine the outcome, but they shouldn''t be able to keep this up for long. Their fighting strength should gradually weaken. Zhao Feng analyzed.


    Ancient God Origin Jade and Ancient God Iceflame had been mortal foes since they were children and had fought against each other all the way up to the present. In this meeting, neither of them showed any mercy and used their most lethal techniques.


    "Eh?" In the middle of that chaotic battlefield, Zhao Feng spotted a stream of shadowy energy.


    Not good! A member of the Shadow Race! Zhao Feng grimaced.


    The Shadow Race''s Ancient God Shadow Death was skilled in furtive sneak attacks, seizing his opponent''s weaknesses to deliver a fatal blow.


    If these were normal circumstances, how could Ancient God Origin Jade possibly fear Ancient God Shadow Death''s sneak attacks? But Ancient God Iceflame and Ancient God Origin Jade had about the same level of strength and both were fighting with all their power. In such an extremely dangerous battle, the slightest lack of focus could prove fatal.


    If Ancient God Origin Jade is defeated, I''ll be forced to reveal my true strength! Zhao Feng''s expression darkened, and he blinked forward.


    "Brother Zhao, what are you doing?" the Celestial Net Sect Master called out


    "This kid, he really thinks he''s something else! He actually dares to approach a battle between half-step God Lords?" Ancient God Blue Distance couldn''t help but scornfully smile at this sight.


    In the end, he still had his quarrels with Zhao Feng. If it wasn''t for the fact that Zhao Feng was too strong, he would have never bent the knee to him. If Zhao Feng was willing to send himself to his death, he was only too happy to watch.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" The Chaos Origin Divine Power in Zhao Feng''s left eye immediately coalesced into a miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    Thwish!


    This small Chaos Origin Divine Sword instantly shot forward, piercing through the countless shards of crystal and ice. Ancient God Shadow Death, who was just about to enter the battle between the two half-step God Lords, suddenly sensed powerful ripples of energy.


    "This scoundrel...!" Ancient God Shadow Death''s gaze dimmed. If he continued forward, he would be struck by Zhao Feng''s attack.


    He had experienced this attack from Zhao Feng before and knew that it was extremely powerful.


    "Damn, such a good opportunity...." Ancient God Shadow Death clenched his teeth and chose to retreat "There''s no need for you to go back alive this time!" Zhao Feng smiled as he pursued Ancient God Shadow Death.


    Swish! Whoosh!


    The two of them were in the middle of the storm created by the two half-step God Lords, so the people back in the Celestial Net Sect couldn''t get a clear view of what was going on.


    "Chaos Heaven Void Ring!" Chaos Origin Divine Power surged around Zhao Feng, creating a dark silver ring of light.


    The Chaos Heaven Void Ring produced a devouring energy that absorbed the energy of the surrounding attacks.


    "This kid''s defensive skill can absorb other energies to strengthen itself?" Ancient God Shadow Death''s expression dimmed. Whoosh!


    He immediately began to try and get out of the battlefield, and Zhao Feng followed close behind.


    Now, your defensive skill can''t absorb other energies! Ancient God Shadow Death quietly chuckled to himself.


    "Look, Zhao Feng is fighting with someone else!"


    "So, that Shadow Race expert was hiding near the battlefield of the two half-step God Lords!"


    Quite a few members of the Celestial Net Sect were suddenly enlightened.


    But Ancient God Shadow Death and Zhao Feng quickly left their field of vision.


    Thwish!


    After escaping the chaotic half-step God Lord battlefield, Zhao Feng increased his speed and was soon able to catch up to Ancient God Shadow Death.


    "Seeking death! You dare to approach me?" Ancient God Shadow Death sneered.


    Although Zhao Feng had extremely powerful eye-bloodline techniques, they would find it very difficult to slay his Shadow Body in a single blow. Moreover, when using eye-bloodline techniques, Zhao Feng would reveal a flaw. If he was up close, then Ancient God Shadow Death would be able to turn around and give a lethal attack of his own.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" Zhao Feng converted the Chaos Heaven Void Ring into a massive sword of dark silver and slashed.


    "Shadow Split Assassination!" Ancient God Shadow Death''s pitch-black body suddenly split into three streams of black energy that avoided Zhao Feng''s attack and approached Zhao Feng from his left, right, and back. This was a secret bloodline art of the Shadow Race. It instantly created several clones, each clone with eighty to ninety percent of the offensive power of the original body.


    A normal person who suddenly encountered this situation in close combat would undoubtedly be caught off guard.


    "Die!" Each black figure produced a pitch-black needle, which they thrust out.


    "Chaos Heaven Void Ring!" Zhao Feng was not at all panicked by this sight He once more used his defensive technique, surrounding himself with a turbid silver ring of energy.


    At the same time, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword in Zhao Feng''s hand slashed out at the pitch-black figure behind him. "How could this be?" Ancient God Shadow Death was startled. Zhao Feng had managed to sense his original body.


    Swoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s sword slashed at Ancient God Shadow Death''s body. Though he tried his utmost to dodge, he was still struck by the sword.


    Damn! I underestimated this kid''s eye-bloodline! Ancient God Shadow Death immediately guessed that Zhao Feng had a special eye-bloodline that allowed him to determine which one was his true body.


    At this moment, the attacks of his clones arrived.


    Though these attacks were powerful, as they touched the Chaos Heaven Void Ring, they began to weaken. Ancient God Shadow Death''s clones had eighty to ninety percent of his offensive power, but these clones were formed from Divine Power. Thus, it was easier for the Chaos Heaven Void Ring to devour and absorb them. This made their attacks much more inferior to the attacks Ancient God Shadow Death could perform with his divine artifact and his original body.


    "Retreat!" Ancient God Shadow Death was wounded, so he wanted to retreat.


    "Spacetime Seal!" Zhao Feng''s left eye thrummed and began to exude Spacetime energy.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    Ancient God Shadow Death''s body was instantly engulfed by a strange and unreal power. His speed suddenly dropped, and he appeared to move like a turtle in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    Zhao Feng hadn''t even used the full extent of this eye-bloodline technique. Otherwise, Ancient God Shadow Death wouldn''t have even been able to move.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng immediately approached and slashed down with the Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    Splurch!


    Ancient God Shadow Death was cleaved in two.


    Bzzz! Hisss!


    The two halves of Ancient God Shadow Death''s body appeared to be made of liquid. Through some bizarre process, they began to join back together.


    Ordinary attacks found it very difficult to deal lethal damage to the Shadow Race.


    "Chaos Heaven Sword Vacuum!" Zhao Feng had long ago prepared a counter. The Chaos Origin Divine Sword unleashed a large number of silver sword images that fused together into a silver "Sword Vacuum."


    "Ah...!" Ancient God Shadow Death screamed as his body and soul were constantly devoured and ground down. He was swiftly devoured by the dreadful Sword Vacuum.


    After killing Ancient God Shadow Death, Zhao Feng returned to the Celestial Net Sect.


    The battle with Ancient God Shadow Death had taken place rather far away and had finished very quickly, so no one noticed what happened.


    "Zhao Feng, it''s fortunate that you acted when you did and prevented that Shadow Race member from disrupting Ancient God Origin Jade," the Celestial Net Sect Master immediately said.


    "What happened to the Shadow Race member?" Ancient God Blue Distance immediately scanned the area with his Divine Sense, but he did not find Ancient God Shadow Death.


    "He won''t be coming back," Zhao Feng simply replied.


    The others paid this statement little mind. After all, they were more concerned about the battle between the two half-step God Lords. This battle would decide whether they lived or died.


    Brrrooom!


    In the sky, the two half-step God Lords were still locked in their mortal struggle.


    Damn! Her strength is similar to mine! If I insist on battling to the death, it will be far too dangerous! Ancient God Iceflame''s eyes coldly gleamed.


    In addition, this place was the territory of the Spiritual Race. News of her arrival had almost certainly spread. It probably wouldn''t be long before even more Spiritual Race experts arrived.


    "Retreat for now!" Ancient God Iceflame fired off a massive gray-white flame and then began to fall back.


    Suddenly, her face froze.


    "Eh? Where''s Ancient God Shadow Death?" Ancient God Iceflame scanned with her Divine Sense but found no sign of Ancient God Shadow Death.


    She remembered that Ancient God Shadow Death had been preparing to sneak attack Ancient God Origin Jade when Zhao Feng interrupted him. After exchanging a few blows, the two of them swiftly left the area.


    Useless Ancient God Shadow Death, you actually got pushed back by Zhao Feng!? Ancient God Iceflame had no time to worry about such things and retreated on her own.


    The oppressive air hanging over the world gradually faded away.


    Ancient God Origin Jade did not pursue, instead slowly descending upon the Celestial Net Sect.


    The sight of this noble and beautiful fairy descending upon their sect had the hearts of many men in the Celestial Net Sect rapidly thumping.


    But to everyone''s surprise:


    "You''re Zhao Feng, right?!" Ancient God Origin Jade immediately set her eyes on Zhao Feng.


    Everyone was greatly taken aback by these words. They remembered that Ancient God Iceflame had said almost exactly the same thing when she first appeared.


    How come the female prodigies of both races had come to find Zhao Feng?

 1414 Peak Rank Nine

    Chapter 1414 - Peak Rank Nine


    "I am he." Zhao Feng was also rather taken aback. Ancient God Origin Jade had come to find him?


    "You don''t look that bad. No wonder Sister Yufei is so dead set on you!" Ancient God Origin Jade casually looked Zhao Feng over and then gave a slightly scornful smile.


    "Yufei?" Zhao Feng''s expression froze in confusion.


    However, Ancient God Origin Jade''s words had made Zhao Feng somewhat unhappy. It was as if Zhao Yufei had only come to like him because of his outward appearance.


    "If I hadn''t made it today, this place would have been your grave!" Ancient God Origin Jade saw Zhao Feng''s dazed expression and lightly huffed.


    Originally, the war had not yet reached a stage where half-step God Lords were to be mobilized. However, when Zhao Yufei learned that Zhao Feng had returned and gone to the front lines, she immediately emerged from her seclusion, anxious to follow him.


    But this war had been started over Zhao Yufei. At a critical juncture like this, the Spiritual Race naturally could not permit Zhao Yufei to leave. Under Zhao Yufei''s constant request, the Spiritual Race was forced to have Ancient God Origin Jade prepare to enter the battlefield. They tasked her with the additional mission of ensuring Zhao Feng''s safety.


    Ancient God Origin Jade had also not expected that, the moment she arrived to take a look, she would encounter Ancient God Iceflame of the Blazing Gold Race.


    "Ancient God Origin Jade, our deepest gratitude for your prompt arrival!" Ancient God Blue Distance and the members of the Celestial Net Sect respectfully called out.


    "Elder, my deepest gratitude for your assistance," Zhao Feng smiled and said.


    Although Ancient God Iceflame couldn''t have actually done anything, Zhao Feng had no wish to expose his true cultivation so early. Ancient God Origin Jade''s arrival truly had resolved this problem for him.


    "A half-step God Lord of the Blazing Gold Race has already appeared on the battlefield. The battles will only get more intense from here. Try and do your best!" Ancient God Origin Jade shot a glance at Zhao Feng before leaving.


    She had heard of Zhao Feng''s feats, but at this time, it was Zhao Yufei who was the heart and future of the Spiritual Race. In comparison to Zhao Yufei, Zhao Feng appeared much less radiant.


    In Ancient God Origin Jade''s heart, Zhao Feng was a man who needed a woman to plead on his behalf for protection, a true incompetent.


    "The war has reached a new level!" Ancient God Blue Distance was somewhat concerned. He had not expected for the war to intensify so quickly.


    As expected, three months later, Ancient God Origin Jade formally entered the war.


    On this day, the upper echelon members of several major factions and strongholds had gathered together. The Celestial Net Sect was represented by Ancient God Blue Distance, the Celestial Net Sect Master, and Zhao Feng.


    "In the early stages of the war, the Spiritual Race was the weaker side. Now that I am personally taking command, I will lead you in taking back the occupied territory." Ancient God Origin Jade stood high above the others, the center of the crowd''s attention, and she seemed like a goddess of victory as she spoke.


    At this time, the various sects and races around the Celestial Net Sect began to gather together into a massive army. The next day, the Spiritual Race''s army assaulted Blazing Gold Race territory.


    This time, it was the Spiritual Race''s sudden attack that caught the Blazing Gold Race off guard. The Spiritual Race won a major victory and was able to seize back some of the lost territory.


    But the Blazing Gold Race quickly reacted, dispatching many elite experts. These quickly gathered together into a similarly powerful army led by Ancient God Iceflame.


    It didn''t take long for these two armies to have their first clash. At that moment, the world seemed to change the color, the clouds and the wind blowing backward. The entire world was covered in experts of various shapes and colors, and all colors of lightning, fire, ice, and wind swept through the earth.


    "Good! A fierce battle like is great for honing myself." Zhao Feng was delighted. This sort of chaotic battlefield was precisely what he desired.


    Firstly, fighting in a chaotic battlefield allowed one to temper one''s fighting abilities more.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng could use this battlefield to build up merit, which he could exchange for cultivation resources. When the time came and he revealed his Rank Nine cultivation, he would attract much less attention.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" Zhao Feng formed a dark silver energy sword in each hand.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    His body began to blink through the battlefield. With each stop, he would take one or two lives. Zhao Feng was capable of killing experts of the same rank in a single blow.


    In the first clash of these two large armies, the Spiritual Race had the upper hand. In the second and third battles, the Spiritual Race still emerged victorious.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng began to build up a reputation on the battlefield. On the battlefield, Zhao Feng was like the god of death; experts of the same rank were instantly killed while even Rank Nine Ancient Gods couldn''t last for very long against him.


    Of course, his unbridled slaughter had also drawn him the attention of the Blazing Gold Race.


    "He''s Zhao Feng!"


    "Brother, let''s work together and kill him!"


    A pair of Blazing Gold Race brothers viciously stared at Zhao Feng.


    Although Zhao Feng was a peak Rank Eight, killing him would grant almost the same number of contribution points as killing a peak Rank Nine Ancient God.


    Both brothers were Rank Nine Ancient Gods, and they were both so strong that they were near peak Rank Nine.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two of them slowly killed their way through the battlefield, gradually creeping up to Zhao Feng. At a certain distance, both of them ignited their bloodlines and cast aside everything else to charge at Zhao Feng.


    "Die!" This pair of Blazing Gold Race brothers swung their sabers, unleashing two blades of scorching flame.


    "Ah...!" A Rank Eight Ancient God who failed to dodge in time was burned to cinders by these flames.


    The combined attack of these two powerful Rank Nine Ancient Gods was about to engulf Zhao Feng, but at this moment:


    Thwish!


    A faint green crystalline light shot out of the horizon, carrying with it the immense pressure of the Spiritual Race bloodline, and struck the two blades of flame.


    Boom! Bang!


    Both of the blades were annihilated, and both of the brothers were thrown back by this energy, suffering significant injuries.


    "Damn, the Spiritual Race''s half-step God Lord!" The two Blazing Gold Race brothers looked to the horizon. The attack just now was unleashed by Ancient God Origin Jade.


    "Heavens! Ancient God Origin Jade is in the middle of a major battle with Ancient God Iceflame, but she still has time to pay attention Zhao Feng and save him from danger!?" a peak Rank Eight Ancient God rather close to Zhao Feng cried out in shock.


    Although the current goddess of the Spiritual Race was Zhao Yufei, for the older generation, their goddess was still Ancient God Origin Jade.


    Normally, Ancient God Origin Jade wouldn''t even look them in the eyes, but on this battlefield, Ancient God Origin Jade had time to pay attention to Zhao Feng while fighting and save him from any lethal danger. This sight immediately made many of the Spiritual Race Ancient Gods in the vicinity shocked and envious.


    "What''s so special about that? This isn''t even the first time," a Rank Nine Ancient God in the distance softly mumbled. Back then, he was one of the young talents of the Spiritual Race who had pursued Ancient God Origin Jade.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng, wielding the Chaos Origin Divine Swords, charged at the Blazing Gold Race brothers.


    Both of them had been wounded by the attack of a half-step God Lord, leaving them weakened. And Zhao Feng was much faster than them, so after a brief pursuit, he managed to kill both of them.


    The war proceeded into its eighth year. Fifty to sixty battles had taken place in this time, and the Spiritual Race won the overwhelming number of them. The Spiritual Race had gradually taken back all the territory it had lost and was now beginning to invade the lands of the Blazing Gold Race.


    In this war, quite a few people had become famous throughout the Spiritual Race and the Ziling Zone. The most famous of them all was naturally Zhao Feng. In every battle, Zhao Feng would obtain the most contribution points, far above even the Rank Nine Ancient Gods.


    But the chatter about Zhao Feng did not concern his achievements.


    "Say, do you think that there''s something going on between Ancient God Origin Jade and Zhao Feng?"


    "Could Ancient God Origin Jade have taken a liking to Zhao Feng? But don''t Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei like each other...?"


    "I didn''t think that the female prodigies of two different generations would end up liking the same person...."


    There was gossip to be found about Ancient God Origin Jade and Zhao Feng in the garrisons of the Spiritual Race every day, and as these rumors spread, they became increasingly absurd. There was nothing that Zhao Feng could do about this, so he didn''t worry about it


    He had used all the contribution points he had accumulated in these eight years to exchange for cultivation resources. Of course, this was only a cover. Zhao Feng already had resources several times more precious than the resources he had exchanged for.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, several ancient resources of extremely old age floated in front of Zhao Feng. He was circulating the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique and absorbing the energy in these resources in an orderly fashion.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    A twisted and chaotic energy appeared around Zhao Feng, affecting the surrounding spacetime. At a certain moment, Zhao Feng''s body became partially unreal while a powerful spatial disturbance affected the area around him.


    Whoosh!


    The distortive energy in the air was engulfed by an invisible energy and taken back into Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Peak Level Eight in Space Intent!" Zhao Feng opened his eyes, which flashed with powerful Space energy.


    Peak Level Eight in Space Intent also indicated that he had reached the peak of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique''s fourth level. This advance in his technique caused Zhao Feng''s cultivation to rise to the peak of Rank Nine.


    "It seems that I will have to continue sealing my cultivation." Zhao Feng helplessly smiled.


    He originally planned to unseal his cultivation soon and reveal his true strength, but to his surprise, after a long period of tempering, his cultivation had broken through to peak Rank Nine.


    Three months later, the two races fought another battle.


    This time, Zhao Feng fought as a Rank Nine Ancient God, to the shock of both sides.


    In less than twenty years, he had risen from Rank Seven to Rank Nine. This frenzied speed of improvement left even experts of the Spiritual Race bloodline in the dust. Perhaps not even Zhao Yufei with her God Martial Race legacy could compare.


    "This brat can''t be left alive!" Elder Jin of the Blazing Gold Race had an extremely gloomy gaze.


    By now, both races had sent two half-step God Lords into the battlefield.


    "However, that Ancient God Origin Jade is constantly keeping watch on Zhao Feng while fighting. It will be rather difficult to kill him." Ancient God Iceflame gave a slight shake of her head.


    This time, the battle lasted only a little while before the Blazing Gold Race retreated, allowing the Spiritual Race to once more emerge victorious.


    For the next two years of the war, the Blazing Gold Race adopted a defensive stance. However, the Spiritual Race did not drop their guard. Everyone sensed that this war was about to enter its final phase.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, having just broken into peak Rank Nine, Zhao Feng required a long period of time to stabilize his strength. At the same time, he had a part of his mind cultivate other aspects.


    Bzzzz!


    Chaos Origin Divine Power surged, coalescing into a sword of turbid and dark silver in Zhao Feng''s hand.


    Hiss! Hiss!


    Gradually, arcs of electricity began to appear on the sword. This was not ordinary lightning, but the Tribulation Lightning stored in Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body.


    Upon his return, Zhao Feng had attempted to fuse the miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword with his Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame. However, this was far too difficult. Moreover, failure to fuse these two powerful eye-bloodline techniques together would result in a backlash.


    For this reason, Zhao Feng gave up on fusing the eye-bloodline techniques together. He made a concession and instead tried to fuse just the Tribulation Lightning energy into the Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    Pop! Hisss!


    More and more lightning appeared on the Chaos Origin Divine Sword, and it began to radiate more and more light.


    Sweat began to bead out of Zhao Feng''s forehead as he stared at the sword in his hand.


    At a certain moment, the Tribulation Lightning energy on the Chaos Origin Divine Sword seemed to adopt a certain order or pattern as it covered the entirety of the sword. At a glance, it seemed like a soul-shaking Chaos Lightning Sword!


    Swoosh! Swish!


    Zhao Feng slightly shifted, upon which the "Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword" released gloomy lightning. The energy unleashed by this lightning was so powerful that it caused the surrounding space to distort.


    "Success! I wonder just how powerful this Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword really is." Zhao Feng had a gleeful and expectant look on his face.

 1415 Origin Jade In Danger

    Chapter 1415 - Origin Jade in Danger


    Another year passed in the war between the two races. Now, all the half-step God Lords of the two races had been deployed.


    But both sides only had three half-step God Lords each. Even if there were minor differences in strength between them, they were not enough to decide the outcome.


    Only a few figures were present in the secret conference hall of the Spiritual Race. These people were all extremely senior members of the Spiritual Race''s upper echelon, all of them absolutely loyal to its cause. From this, one could see just how important this conference was.


    Three balls of crystalline divine light floated at the very front


    "We are in the middle of talks with the half-step God Lords of Divine Tree Ocean. If we succeed, we will have a powerful half-step God Lord of the Medicine Dao on our side, which will cause our entire race to experience a quintessential leap in power!" The Spiritual Race''s Third Elder announced some good news.


    "I heard that the Blazing Gold Race is in talks with the Heaven-Shaking Alliance, though there''s been no news on how they''ve been going," a white-haired old woman of the Spiritual Race said.


    Divine Tree Ocean and the Heaven-Shaking Alliance were the other two five-star factions of the Ziling Zone.


    "There''s no need to worry about that. The Blazing Gold Race and Heaven-Shaking Alliance haven''t come to an arrangement yet," Ancient God Origin Jade confidently said.


    Perhaps because of the Life Sacred Land''s suppression, these two five-star factions had been rather reluctant to intervene in this war. But they could not give up on negotiations. If Divine Tree Ocean was willing to endure the Sacred Land''s pressure and assist the Spiritual Race, the outcome of the war would be decided.


    "Well rest for a month and then attack again. ¶¡his time, we have to put on a good show so that Divine ¶¡ree Ocean knows that the Spiritual Race has an extremely high chance of victory!" The Third Elder''s eyes darkened as he called out.


    The surrounding Spiritual Race Elders all nodded.


    One month later, the Third Elder suddenly announced that the army would be going into battle. The experts of various races and experts immediately formed up, boarding massive and savage warships that flew off into the distance.


    Upon arriving at the Blazing Gold Race garrison:


    "Kill!" the Third Elder ordered, upon which a vast army charged forward.


    At the same time, the three half-step God Lords flew into the even vaster battlefield of the sky to press the attack.


    Boom!


    In the palace down below, both scorching and chilling energies shot into the air. The three half-step God Lords of the Blazing Gold Race had emerged.


    "Hmph, the Blazing Gold Race''s time is over!" The Third Elder stared at the three half-step God Lords.


    In the recent campaigns, the Blazing Gold Race was constantly on the defensive. And just now, he had learned through his Divine Sense that, if one excluded the half-step God Lords, the Blazing Gold Race''s forces were much weaker than the Spiritual Race''s.


    "The outcome hasn''t been decided just yet!" Elder Jin''s eyes flashed with a strange light.


    A moment later, the six half-step God Lords began to battle.


    Brrrooom!


    The ripples of Divine Power produced at this moment caused all the people down below to tremble in fear.


    "Kill!"


    In this war, Zhao Feng had only one goal: to hone himself in a state where his cultivation was suppressed. This was an extremely common method of self-tempering. Many factions had special training rooms that placed restrictions on the user, like extra gravity or restrained speed or Intents, allowing the user to obtain more progress from their training.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body blinked away, and when he next appeared, he killed a peak Rank Eight with lightning-fast speed. The peak Rank Eight died without even knowing how.


    Right, let''s try the Chaos Origin Lightning Tribulation Sword!


    With this thought, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword in Zhao Feng''s left gradually began to crackle with lightning. But at this moment he suddenly sensed a powerful energy rapidly approaching him.


    "Peak Rank Nine." Zhao Feng raised his head and saw a scorching golden flame rumbling toward him.


    "Seeking death!" Zhao Feng''s gaze chilled.


    To outsiders, he had only recently broken into Rank Nine, so he did not go out to kill peak Rank Nines. But if a peak Rank Nine came to attack him, he wouldn''t be polite.


    But a moment later, Zhao Feng sighed.


    Boom! Swish!


    A faint green sword light shot out from the distance, imbued with the immense pressure of the Spiritual Race bloodline. "Ancient God Origin Jade has helped Zhao Feng again!"


    Many experts in the vicinity were either stunned or regretful. Had the goddess of the last generation really taken a liking to Zhao Feng?


    Sensing the attack of a half-step God Lord, the peak Rank Nine of the Blazing Gold Race immediately retreated. "Something''s wrong!" Seeing his opponent retreat, Zhao Feng grimaced.


    Ancient God Origin Jade was in the middle of a fierce battle, and this was only a casual attack of hers. A peak Rank Nine should have been able to deal with it But this person had chosen to retreat. This made Zhao Feng feel uneasy.


    He suddenly raised his head, using his left eye to observe the half-step God Lord battlefield.


    "Die!" Ancient God Iceflame''s eyes erupted with cold light. She waved her left hand, upon which a shriveled elder wearing a black and green robe suddenly appeared.


    Swish!


    The moment this elder appeared, he unleashed a massive palm formed from green mist.


    "Half-step God Lord, Ancient God Dark Crow!" Ancient God Origin Jade paled as she hurriedly circulated her Divine Power. A thin layer of crystal formed on her skin.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Dark Crow''s palm of roiling green mist collided against Ancient God Origin Jade.


    "Poison!" Ancient God Origin Jade grimaced.


    The poison used by Ancient God Dark Crow was extremely unique in that it was capable of piercing through her defenses and entering her Spiritual Race body. It was obvious that this was a poison specifically created to be used against the Spiritual Race.


    At the same time, Ancient God Iceflame''s frigid palm descended.


    Boom! Bang!


    The defensive layer on Ancient God Origin Jade''s body froze and cracked apart. The cold and the poison began to frenziedly encroach into Ancient God Origin Jade''s body.


    "Ancient God Origin Jade!"


    "It''s Ancient God Dark Crow! This is a problem!''


    The other two half-step God Lords of the Spiritual Race had extremely grim expressions.


    Ancient God Dark Crow had some reputation in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. He was extremely talented and had a particular interest in poisons. It was rumored that five half-step God Lords had died to Ancient God Dark Crow''s poison, and one of them had been killed by Ancient God Dark Crow himself.


    "Heh, we appeared to be negotiating with the Heaven-Shaking Alliance, but we actually recruited Ancient God Dark Crow some time ago!" Elder Jin loudly laughed.


    "Heheh, in this battle, your Spiritual Race will have to pay a heavy price in blood!" The short middle-aged man of the Blazing Gold Race wickedly laughed. He was the one to think of this plan.


    Originally, they wanted to deal with Zhao Feng, but Ancient God Origin Jade''s constant attention made it very difficult for them to succeed. But when they thought about it, they began to wonder if they could use Zhao Feng against Ancient God Origin Jade.


    However, this was a half-step God Lord. Even if they seized her weakness, they would find it very hard to heavily injure or kill her. Thus, the Blazing Gold Race had Ancient God Dark Crow hide near Ancient God Iceflame. Just now, while Ancient God Origin Jade helped Zhao Feng, Ancient God Dark Crow suddenly appeared and joined with Ancient God Iceflame to launch an attack that left Ancient God Origin Jade heavily injured. Now, Ancient God Dark Crow''s poison had already seeped into Ancient God Origin Jade''s divine body.


    In this battle, they even had a chance to kill the Spiritual Race''s Ancient God Origin Jade!


    "Ancient God Origin Jade!" The Spiritual Race''s Third Elder sensed the gravity of the matter and wanted to go to Ancient God Origin Jade''s assistance, but the Blazing Gold Race''s Elder Jin would never give him this chance.


    "Damn! Despicable and shameless!" Ancient God Origin Jade wiped the blood from her lips as she frostily stared at Ancient God Iceflame and Ancient God Dark Crow.


    Swish!


    Her body flashed as she began to flee into the distance.


    She was heavily injured and poisoned. She naturally could not fight against these two half-step God Lords. Once she died, the outcome of this battle would basically be decided.


    For this reason, she immediately messaged their race''s God Lord. If she could last until the God Lord arrived, the Spiritual Race would still have some hope.


    "Ancient God Origin Jade, it''s about time the battle between us came to an end!" Ancient God Iceflame coldly snorted as she pursued.


    "Tsk, tsk, to kill such a beauty is really a great pity." A dark green light gleamed in Ancient God Dark Crow''s eyes, and he spoke in a rather regretful tone. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The three half-step God Lords departed the vast and dreadful battlefield, flying into the distance.


    "Ancient God Origin Jade!"


    "How could this be? Ancient God Origin Jade was ambushed and heavily injured by two half-step God Lords!"


    The Spiritual Race members down below witnessed this sight and immediately suffered a blow to their morale. Quite a few of them were admirers of Ancient God Origin Jade and were incredibly worried, wanting nothing more than to chase after her.


    But a battle between half-step God Lords was not something they were capable of intervening in. Moreover, the Spiritual Race was now the weaker side, so they could not leave the battle.


    "Damn, it''s all because of that kid! Ancient God Origin Jade only fell into danger because she saved him!"


    "You''ve hurt the entire Spiritual Race!"


    Many people shot resentful looks at Zhao Feng.


    "Defensive retreat!" the Spiritual Race''s Third Elder immediately called out.


    If this situation continued, the Spiritual Race would suffer grievous damage. If they withdrew back into their own territory, they might be able to use the terrain to salvage the situation.


    "To think that it would turn out like this." Zhao Feng sighed.


    Although Ancient God Origin Jade had helped Zhao Feng of her own will, in the end, she had been taking care of Zhao Feng this entire time. And this time, it was precisely because of Zhao Feng that she was in such desperate straits and was at risk of dying.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body blinked away as he headed in the direction of the three half-step God Lords.


    "Heh, this kid has some conscience. He knows that he harmed Ancient God Origin Jade and has gone off to save her!" The short half-step God Lord of the Blazing Gold Race took on an even more wicked smile.


    If Ancient God Iceflame and Ancient God Dark Crow worked together, they could easily kill Ancient God Origin Jade. By going over now, Zhao Feng was just sending himself to his death.


    This time, the Blazing Gold Race had made an enormous profit!


    "Zhao Feng!" the Third Elder called out in alarm, his face taut.


    But Zhao Feng pretended like he couldn''t hear and got farther and farther away.


    This made the Third Elder turn even grimmer, his face contorted with shock and anger, but there was nothing he could do. "Arctic Flame!" Ancient God Iceflame''s palm unleashed a massive ball of gray-white flame.


    "Keke, stop struggling!" Ancient God Dark Crow gave a sinister smile, his claw-like hands releasing black stream of energy. Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Ancient God Origin Jade fled while also dodging and defending herself, but she was already wounded and poisoned, leaving her in mediocre condition.


    Bang!


    A portion of the power in these attacks struck Ancient God Origin Jade''s body, throwing her back several li.


    "Ancient God Origin Jade, give up this resistance and you''ll be able to die a more pleasant death!" Ancient God Iceflame coldly yelled.


    The two half-step God Lord rapidly approached Ancient God Origin Jade.


    "Damn!" Ancient God Origin Jade was slightly pale, her crystalline body dim and lightless. There were many wounds on her body, like cracks appearing on a flawless treasure.


    "Keke! I''ll just use you to test my poisons on." Ancient God Dark Crow wickedly chuckled as he flew closer to Ancient God Origin Jade.


    But at this moment, a spatial ripple appeared behind him. In a flash, Zhao Feng reached Ancient God Origin Jade''s side. "Keke, are you her boyfriend?" Ancient God Dark Crow asked with an amused smile.


    For a Rank Nine Ancient God to run over at a time like this truly left him rather shocked.


    "Hmph, truly idiots!" Ancient God Iceflame sneered.


    She had previously tried to kill Zhao Feng but was thwarted in every attempt. Unexpectedly, after using Zhao Feng to heavily injure Ancient God Origin Jade, Zhao Feng had run over to send himself to his death. This was truly shooting down two hawks with a single arrow.


    "What are you doing here!?" Ancient God Origin Jade was stunned and first, and then she yelled.


    Although she had hoped that someone would come and save her, Zhao Feng was just a Rank Nine Ancient God. What could he do in this situation? He was just sending himself to his death.


    "I will save you," Zhao Feng flatly said in front of two half-step God Lords, his expression unperturbed. At the same moment, a profound and formidable energy began to emerge from his body.

 1416 Saving Origin Jade

    Chapter 1416 - Saving Origin Jade


    "I will save you," Zhao Feng flatly said in front of two half-step God Lords, his expression unperturbed. At the same moment, a profound and formidable energy began to emerge from his body.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng stared right at the two half-step God Lords, his expression indifferent and fearless, his body appearing mighty and imposing.


    "...peak Rank Nine?" At first, Ancient God Origin Jade didn''t know what was going on, but then her expression froze in shock. She could sense Zhao Feng¡¯s cultivation rising all 1:he way to peak Rank Nine.


    "Oh? So this kid was hiding his cultivation!" Ancient God Dark Crow''s eyes gleamed.


    Of course, this was not what surprised him. After all, a peak Rank Nine was still nothing in his eyes. What astonished him was that Zhao Feng''s method of hiding his cultivation was something that not even all these half-step God Lords could see through.


    This boy can''t be left alive! Ancient God Iceflame''s gaze chilled. As she looked at Zhao Feng, she felt a sliver of fear and wanted to immediately have this person removed from her sight.


    "You were tricking me this entire time...?" Ancient God Origin Jade was somewhat angry. The person she had been protecting this entire time was actually a peak Rank Nine.


    A Zhao Feng with peak Rank Nine cultivation faced no danger on a battlefield of experts below the half-step God Lord level and had no need for her help, but she had not known and had helped Zhao Feng for ten-some years.


    Although she was very angry, Zhao Feng had put himself against two half-step God Lords in order to save her. This somewhat touched Ancient God Origin Jade and made her feel a surge of warmth.


    Suddenly, she sensed Ancient God Iceflame''s icy killing intent and immediately said, "Even if you''re a peak Rank Nine, you can''t save me. Hurry and run!"


    "You want to leave now? Too late!" Ancient God Iceflame''s body surged with cold white flames, covering the surrounding area in a layer of frost


    At this time, she would even let Ancient God Origin Jade go if she could kill Zhao Feng first


    "Keke, arrogant kid, obediently accept your death!" Ancient God Dark Crow waved a palm, unleashing a dark green mist that formed into a giant skeleton that rushed at Zhao Feng.


    On the other end, Ancient God Iceflame fired off a fist made of icy flames, and the chill exuded by these flames seemed capable of freezing and shattering all things.


    "Get out of here...!" Ancient God Origin Jade immediately said.


    If there was only one half-step God Lord, Zhao Feng might have been able to save her, but they were facing two half-step God Lords, and not even Zhao Feng''s peak Rank Nine cultivation was capable of salvaging the situation. Moreover, Ancient God Dark Crow possessed abnormal strength and was skilled in poisons, and with Ancient God Iceflame''s help, he was even stronger.


    The attacks of the two half-step God Lords were about to engulf Ancient God Origin Jade and Zhao Feng, when suddenly, Zhao Feng placed a strong arm around Ancient God Origin Jade''s slender waist.


    "What are you doing?" Ancient God Origin Jade blushed as she rebuked him. But given that she was injured and poisoned, she naturally did not have the strength to escape from Zhao Feng''s grip.


    "Chaos Heaven Void Ring!" Chaos Origin Divine Power surged around Zhao Feng, creating a barrier of dark silver that surrounded him and Ancient God Origin Jade.


    Booom! Whoosh!


    The poison skeleton charged in, drowning the area in toxin. All life in the area was instantly extinguished, and even the rocks began to decay.


    But within the Chaos Heaven Void Ring, Zhao Feng and Ancient God Origin Jade were completely fine. Moreover, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring was rapidly absorbing the poisonous energy to strengthen itself.


    At this moment, the fist of freezing flame descended.


    Boom!


    In the face of these freezing flames, a part of the Chaos Heaven Void Ring was blasted to pieces, allowing the flames to rush inside.


    Compared to Ancient God Dark Crow''s attack, Ancient God Iceflame''s attack was explosive in nature and was able to instantly deal immense amounts of damage. If not for the fact that the Chaos Heaven Void Ring had absorbed Ancient God Dark Crow''s energy, it would have not been able to take the brunt of Ancient God Iceflame''s attack.


    "Blocked it?"


    "How could this be?"


    Ancient God Iceflame and Ancient God Dark Crow were both rather astonished. For a peak Rank Nine to block the attacks of two half-step God Lords was truly too shocking.


    Inside the Chaos Heaven Void Ring, Ancient God Origin Jade was also flabbergasted.


    At this time, she was tightly pressed against Zhao Feng, a subconscious reaction born from the thought that she was about to die to the attacks of the two half-step God Lords. When she realized what was going on, her icy face blushed even more deeply, and she hurriedly attempted to make some distance.


    "Don''t get careless! Kill him now!" Ancient God Iceflame''s face was a sheet of ice.


    The attacks just now were not completely serious because they thought them to be enough to kill Zhao Feng. The result, however, left them greatly surprised.


    "Not good! They''re serious this time!" Ancient God Origin Jade looked worriedly at Zhao Feng, but she realized that Zhao Feng remained unperturbed, as if two half-step God Lords were not anything in his eyes.


    Two half-step God Lords isn''t that easy to deal with. Zhao Feng''s mind was flying as he tried to think of countermeasures.


    At Rank Nine, he killed a half-step God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall, but his opponent was wounded at the time and was also suppressed by the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom. Ancient God Jailsea and the others only had sixty percent of their peak strength during that fight Now, Zhao Feng was not only facing a half-step God Lord at full strength, but two of them at once.


    More importantly, Ancient God Origin Jade was poisoned and needed to be treated as quickly as possible.


    "I''ll have you guys fight." Zhao Feng smiled, and then his body rippled with Space energy. A dark silver robe appeared, glimmering with a dazzling silver light.


    At this moment, two figures charged out of the Spacetime Robe.


    Boom!


    A heaven-shaking and calamitous energy immediately began to spread through the area. The two half-step God Lords who were approaching Zhao Feng and Ancient God Origin Jade suddenly paused, their bloodlines trembling.


    "What bloodline is this?" Ancient God Iceflame shivered.


    An evil and black-scaled man had appeared, surrounded by dark red draconic flames.


    On the other side, a handsome and mysterious youth had appeared in the middle of a spatial distortion. This was none other than the clone that Zhao Feng had created not too long ago, Zhao Kong.


    "Destruction Dragon Race! Eye of Spacetime!" Ancient God Dark Crow''s expression darkened. Fortunately for him, neither the black-scaled man nor the mysterious youth had reached peak Rank Nine.


    "He has helpers!" Ancient God Origin Jade rejoiced.


    The two helpers that Zhao Feng had called out didn''t have high cultivation level, but their extremely unusual backgrounds made them stronger than usual.


    "Haha, I''ll have you experience the fury of the Destruction Dragon Race!" The Black Destruction Dragon savagely smiled in excitement.


    As the blood of the Destruction Dragon Race flowed in its veins, the Black Destruction Dragon always had an inclination for fighting. Spending so long in the Spacetime Robe had left the Black Destruction Dragon extremely stifled and depressed. Now that it had the chance to fight, it ignored everything else and charged straight at Ancient God Iceflame.


    Swish!


    The Black Destruction Dragon turned into a black flame as it rushed at Ancient God Iceflame.


    Zhao Kong followed the Black Destruction Dragon in attacking Ancient God Iceflame.


    "We''ll deal with this person!" Zhao Feng called out


    Ancient God Origin Jade knew what he meant A green crystal sword appeared in her hand, and she used it to fire off a powerful wave of energy at Ancient God Dark Crow.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" The Chaos Origin Divine Power in Zhao Feng''s hand immediately gathered together into a broad silver sword.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Two powerful sword slashes flew toward Ancient God Dark Crow like bolts of lightning.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Dark Crow waved a sleeve, immediately creating a thick black fog of poison around himself. The moment the attacks of Zhao Feng and Ancient God Origin Jade entered this poisonous fog, they began to weaken.


    Thwish!


    Ancient God Origin Jade''s jade sword wave instantly dimmed, and when it reached Ancient God Dark Crow, he was able to easily shatter it


    "Keke, my Black Decay Poison can also corrode Divine Power!" Ancient God Dark Crow wickedly laughed.


    But at this moment, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin sword slash arrived, and it had not been weakened very much at all.


    Boom! Bang!


    In his carelessness, Ancient God Dark Crow was struck by the Chaos Origin Divine Sword, which left a gruesome wound on his body, from which blood flowed out


    "Damn! This kid''s Divine Power has a devouring trait that blocked most of the effects of my poison!" Ancient God Dark Crow''s expression darkened.


    He suddenly realized that Zhao Feng somewhat countered him. He was skilled in poisons, and the attacks he used mostly dealt persistent damage. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Power was able to constantly absorb other energies.


    In contrast, Ancient God Iceflame''s explosive attacks somewhat countered Zhao Feng.


    Ancient God Dark Crow used his Divine Sense to see what the situation was, and then his face froze in shock. Although the Black Destruction Dragon and Zhao Kong were not at peak Rank Nine, the two of them working together actually had the upper hand.


    The Black Destruction Dragon possessed the Destruction Dragon Race bloodline and was able to suppress Ancient God Iceflame''s bloodline. Moreover, it also had incredible strength in its own right, and its Destruction Dragon Body was exceptionally cruel and vicious.


    As for Zhao Kong, his Eyes of Spacetime were nearly at the Quasi God Eye level. He was responsible for suppressing and hindering Ancient God Iceflame.


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Dark Crow suddenly sensed danger.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng suddenly appeared behind him, swinging the Chaos Origin Divine Sword down. Before the sword landed, a powerful Spacetime energy shrouded Ancient God Dark Crow, slowing down his reactions and making him incapable of dodging.


    "Damn!" Ancient God Dark Crow clenched his teeth and took out a gorgeous pearl.


    Boom! Bang!


    The dark green pearl exploded, unleashing a five-colored fog that wrapped around Ancient God Dark Crow and Zhao Feng. "Chaos Heaven Void Ring!" Zhao Feng immediately used his defensive kill to hold off this explosive poison.


    Meanwhile, his sword continued to swing down at Ancient God Dark Crow.


    At this time, the five-colored fog gathered around Ancient God Dark Crow, forming a barrier of poison.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Dark Crow was thrown back several li by Zhao Feng''s sword, but the defensive move just now meant that he had not suffered significant wounds.


    "Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame!" Zhao Feng''s left eye fired off a twisted bolt of Tribulation Lightning Flame.


    Kacrack!


    Ancient God Dark Crow had just paused when the Tribulation Lightning Flame exploded on his soul.


    "Ah...!" Ancient God Dark Crow grabbed his head and howled.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng once more grabbed Ancient God Origin Jade, then he called back the Black Destruction Dragon and Zhao Kong and fled.


    "Don''t even think about it!" Ancient God Iceflame''s eyes flashed with cold light


    Ancient God Origin Jade should have been finished, but Zhao Feng had appeared and ruined their meticulous plan.


    "Spacetime Barrier!" Zhao Feng activated the Spacetime Robe, creating overlapping layers of indistinct energy to block Ancient God Iceflame''s path.


    Unless she passed through the Spacetime Barrier, Ancient God Iceflame would not be able to use any techniques like Spatial Blink or Instant Movement. But just as Ancient God Iceflame tried to force her way through the Spacetime Barrier, she felt the binding and obstruction of a powerful Spacetime Intent.


    On the other side, Ancient God Dark Crow was covered in wounds and in miserable condition.


    "Damn!" By the time Ancient God Iceflame got through, Zhao Feng was nowhere to be seen. All she could do was grind her teeth in anger.


    "The Spacetime Robe... Spacetime Intent! This kid is too fast! We won''t be able to catch him!"


    For a moment, the two of them simply stood around with extremely gloomy expressions. A trifling up-and-coming Rank Nine had snatched Ancient God Origin Jade from right under the eyes of two half-step God Lords, utterly humiliating them.

 1417 The Final Battle

    Chapter 1417 - The Final Battle Spatial ripples appeared in the sky.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng and Ancient God Origin Jade emerged out of the void.


    "We''re safe now." Zhao Feng stopped and moved his arm away from Ancient God Origin Jade''s soft and slender waist "Many thanks!" Although Ancient God Origin Jade was extremely weak, her face had been blushing this entire time.


    "I''ll help you suppress the poison in your body," Zhao Feng said.


    If not for the poison in Ancient God Origin Jade''s body preventing her from fighting a long battle, Zhao Feng would have been in no rush to escape. It wasn''t difficult for him to kill a half-step God Lord in his current state, and while two half-step God Lords was rather troublesome, if he used all his trump cards, he was rather confident in his ability to kill both of them.


    At this moment, the clouds on the horizon suddenly changed color.


    Boom!


    An immense pressure suddenly descended. A white gust of wind swept over the world, quashing all other kinds of strength.


    An elder wearing white and gold robes appeared in the middle of this windstorm, his body exuding a crystalline white divine radiance.


    At this moment, this old man seemed like a representative of the heavens, his every movement endowed with a majesty that came from the world itself.


    "God Lord!" Zhao Feng stared in shock at this old man.


    "Second Elder!" Ancient God Origin Jade had a look of reverence on her face.


    "Why are the two of you here?" The Second Elder stared at Ancient God Origin Jade and Zhao Feng.


    "Elder, I was drawn into a trap by the Blazing Gold Race and was in grave danger. Zhao Feng came alone to save me. The two of us worked together and were able to escape the danger," Ancient God Origin Jade concisely explained.


    "Oh?" The Second Elder turned his eyes to Zhao Feng. He spent most of the year in seclusion and was not very clear on Zhao Feng''s matter, only having heard bits and snatches.


    Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Robe drew his attention, and he was also rather stunned by the combination of Zhao Feng''s age and cultivation. Finally, he looked at Zhao Feng''s eyes and showed a hint of confusion.


    "Not bad! You''ve far exceeded my expectations," the Second Elder finally said.


    To receive a personal word of praise from a God Lord was truly an honor for those below the half-step God Lord level.


    "Elder, many thanks for this praise!" Zhao Feng courteously replied.


    "Although you are out of danger now, since I am here, I will not so easily return!" The Second Elder looked into the distance.


    "Yes!" Ancient God Origin Jade immediately nodded. Internally, she was shocked though. The Second Elder was going to intervene in the war?


    "Go!" The Second Elder waved his sleeve, and an invisible strength wrapped around Zhao Feng and Ancient God Origin Jade and brought them to his side.


    "Poison?" The Second Elder once more looked at Ancient God Origin Jade.


    At the same time, the power of a mysterious and unfathomable Law shrouded Ancient God Origin Jade. At this moment, Ancient God Origin Jade felt like she had become a normal person, incapable of summoning any kind of energy.


    Zhao Feng used his left eye to look at Ancient God Origin Jade.


    Although Ancient God Origin Jade was under the immense suppression of a Law at this time, the poison in her body was under an even stronger suppression. The poison throughout her body was soon completely extinguished by the power of this Law.


    At this moment, Ancient God Origin Jade felt all the suppression on her vanish, upon which she realized that all the poison in her body had been eliminated.


    "Many thanks, Elder!" Ancient God Origin Jade gratefully said.


    The Second Elder said nothing, he only took Zhao Feng and Ancient God Origin Jade with him and used Spatial Shift.


    The battle between the two races was in complete chaos, the sun and sky wholly obscured.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Suddenly, two figures with powerful auras flew toward the battlefield.


    "Ancient God Iceflame, Ancient God Dark Crow!" The Spiritual Race''s Third Elder saw these two fingers and closed his eyes, a hint of helplessness on his face.


    "Could it be that Ancient God Origin Jade and that child are already...?" The white-haired old woman next to him had a somewhat unwilling expression on her face.


    The vast majority of the Spiritual Race members had dejected and despairing looks.


    "Heh, you''re finally back!" Elder Jin coldly chuckled, but he did not ask how they had done. In his view, Ancient God Iceflame and Ancient God Dark Crow together should have been more than enough to kill Ancient God Origin Jade and Zhao Feng.


    "We..." Ancient God Iceflame looked at Elder Jin, somewhat unable to start talking.


    Even if she told Elder Jin, he probably wouldn''t believe that a new Rank Nine like Zhao Feng would be able to rescue Ancient God Origin Jade from the hands of two half-step God Lords. But this was already a reality, and they needed to report it.


    But at this moment:


    "Retreat!" Elder Jin bellowed, interrupting Ancient God Iceflame.


    Although none of the Blazing Gold Race members knew what was going on, they displayed absolute obedience to their commander''s orders. In a flash, the entire Blazing Gold Race army turned around and began to withdraw.


    "What''s going on? The Blazing Gold Race is retreating!" The Spiritual Race''s Third Elder was dazed.


    Down below, the members of the Spiritual Race awaited the elder''s orders. Although the Blazing Gold Race was retreating, their forces were still much stronger than the Spiritual Race''s. If they pursued, they would only be seeking trouble.


    But a moment later, the Third Elder and the white-haired old woman of the Spiritual Race suddenly started in surprise.


    Brrrooom!


    A white gust of wind blew through the world, causing everything else to seem dim in comparison. Three figures suddenly appeared above the Spiritual Race army.


    "Paying respects to Second Elder!" the Third Elder and old lady immediately spoke respectfully.


    At the same time, every living being in the world seemed to bow to the Second Elder.


    "Ancient God Origin Jade and Zhao Feng are both fine!" The many experts of the Spiritual Race breathed a sigh of relief.


    In their view, it must have been the God Lord''s prompt arrival that had saved the pair.


    "Zhao Feng, in the future, don''t do something so stupid!" the Third Elder harshly rebuked.


    Zhao Feng did not try to explain himself.


    "Hmph, want to run?" The Second Elder snorted, and then he vanished. A moment later, he was near the Blazing Gold Race army.


    "Retreat! Ignore everything else!" Elder Jin loudly shouted.


    When fighting against a God Lord, the longer one stayed, the more damage one would sustain. In addition, the Spiritual Race was the one to attack this time, so this place was very close to one of the Blazing Gold Race''s strongholds. The army would be able to use the arrays of that place to temporarily stave off the Spiritual Race''s God Lord.


    Brrrooom!


    The energy of the world surged, gathering around the Second Elder.


    "Now that this old man is here, how can I go back empty-handed!?" The Second Elder waved a hand, forming a crystalline body. However, this crystalline body seemed to be made of liquid, constantly twisting and changing shape.


    Whoosh!


    This construct of Divine Power and crystal transformed into a fierce gale that swept toward the Blazing Gold Race army.


    "His target is me!? No...!" The short middle-aged man sensed the astonishing energy ripples behind and immediately screamed, his face paling.


    When a God Lord took action, they naturally would not slaughter those unimportant True Gods, but the most powerful members in the army - the half-step God Lords.


    The middle-aged man immediately activated his Blazing Gold Race bloodline, his body erupting with fierce golden flames. Boom! Bang!


    In the subsequent clash of energies, the world seemed to be turned upside down. Many True Gods and Ancient Gods in the vicinity were killed by the shockwaves from the collision.


    "If I want you to die, you will die!" The Second Elder coldly snorted as he once more waved his hand.


    "No...!" The middle-aged man cried out until his voice was hoarse. He had already used all he had to fend off the God Lord''s first attack.


    Boom! Bang!


    The crystalline wind swept past, and the middle-aged man''s body was no more.


    "Run!"


    "A God Lord''s power is too terrifying!"


    All the soldiers of the Blazing Gold Race fled in panic.


    The Blazing Gold Race soon returned to their stronghold and began to activate the arrays.


    "Hmph!" The Second Elder withdrew.


    The moment he appeared, the Blazing Gold Race definitely notified its own God Lords. Moreover, they still had three halfstep God Lords and the arrays of the stronghold. Even if he tried to force the issue, the result would not be good.


    The Spiritual Race army returned to its own base to rest.


    The Spiritual Race had suffered gruesome losses in this battle. If the Second Elder hadn''t come at the end and killed a halfstep God Lord of the Blazing Gold Race as well as many True Gods, the Spiritual Race would have come off much worse in this engagement.


    Not long after the Spiritual Race withdrew, it learned that a God Lord of the Blazing Gold Race had arrived. But with the Second Elder presiding over them, they weren''t terribly worried.


    Three days later, bad news arrived.


    "Damn! The Blazing Gold Race sent another God Lord to destroy several our small bases elsewhere!" the Third Elder bellowed in fury.


    This was not all. The God Lord of the Blazing Gold Race had also ambushed a Spiritual Race team on the road, killing a halfstep God Lord.


    "Prepare for an all-out war," the Second Elder said, his eyes half-closed.


    The Third Elder was stunned, then he nodded his head.


    Later that day, the Third Elder issued an order to gather all the manpower of the Spiritual Race.


    Far on the other side, the Blazing Gold Race army was also slowly getting stronger.


    On the third day, two God Lords of the Spiritual Race arrived. These were the Spiritual Race''s Grand Elder and its patriarch.


    The Spiritual Race Grand Elder was slightly plump and genial. Despite being a God Lord, he gave off an amiable aura. As for the Spiritual Race Patriarch, he was shrouded in a faint blue crystalline fog, his true appearance concealed.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but use his left eye to see through this fog.


    The Spiritual Race Patriarch had a tall and muscular body and an emotionless expression. His entire body was constructed from translucent light blue crystal, and his crystalline hair flowed like water.


    "It''s rumored that the Spiritual Race Patriarch has reached the Second Heaven," Zhao Feng muttered.


    God Lords were divided into three Heavens, and the gap between each Heaven was truly like that between the heavens and the earth.


    Brrrooom!


    At this moment, the horizon turned gold and red as if it had been set aflame. Ten enormous warships cloaked in golden flames arrived.


    At the top of a warship in the center floated three dazzling golden lights. One of these figures was thirty feet tall, their body of golden glass covered in strange and bizarre flame tattoos. To his left was a hunchbacked elder while to his right was an old woman who still retained her beauty.


    "Today, let us bring everything to an end!" A flame shot out from the Blazing Gold Race Patriarch''s body of golden glass.


    In a flash, the entire world was awash with flame. These flames would not target the Blazing Gold Race members. On the contrary, they increased their strength and boosted their will to fight.


    "We should have settled things long ago," the Spiritual Race Patriarch flatly replied.


    "Zhao Feng, this is the last battle. Ancient God Origin Jade hasn''t completely recovered, so stop hiding your strength," the Second Elder abruptly messaged Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was somewhat taken aback. It was apparent that Ancient God Origin Jade had told the Second Elder everything.


    Right now, Ancient God Origin Jade was still recovering from her heavy injuries, and the Blazing Gold Race had one more half-step God Lord than the Spiritual Race. Only Zhao Feng could fill this gap.


    "I will." Zhao Feng nodded.


    If the Spiritual Race won a major victory, Zhao Feng would have one less major problem on his plate. Thus, in this crucial final battle, Zhao Feng would use his full power!

 1418 The Slaughter Begins

    Chapter 1418 - The Slaughter Begins "Kill!" the Blazing Gold Race Patriarch roared.


    The golden flames spreading throughout the world instantly surged. Besides boosting the strength of the Blazing Gold Race members, they could also suppress foes, inflicting them with excruciating pain that would make them feel like they were in a hell of flames.


    "Fight," the Spiritual Race Patriarch flatly replied.


    A moment later, calm and serene waves of water spread out from his body, sweeping through the world. The burning sensation felt by all the Spiritual Race members instantly decreased. In addition, they felt an abundant Heaven Earth Yuan Qi that could swiftly replenish any Divine Power they consumed.


    On the other side, the Blazing Gold Race members felt the Divine Power in their bodies being suppressed and not circulating as they wanted it to.


    "This is the power of Second Heaven God Lords!?" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    The patriarchs of both races were Second Heaven God Lords. Their wills could alter the entire world, their power beyond imagination.


    Boom!


    The world quaked as the three God Lords of each race shot into the sky, flying to a distant battlefield. The world instantly darkened as terrifying ripples of Divine Power began to appear.


    Of course, now was not the time to watch the God Lords fight


    "Kill!"


    The massive warships of both sides began to crash into each other. Countless people flew out and began to kill each other. Inside the warships, crew members operated the defensive systems and activated the offensive installations on the warships.


    Brrrooom!


    The warships of both races fired off countless energy cannonballs and bolts of Divine Power. Above them, countless people tore at each other.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng put on the Spacetime Robe and vanished. A moment later, he was right in the middle of the Blazing Gold Race ranks.


    Swish! Plush!


    With a wave of his Chaos Origin Divine Sword, one Rank Seven Ancient God and several True Gods were instantly slain.


    "It''s Zhao Feng! This person has peak Rank Nine cultivation and abnormal strength! Run!" Quite a few people saw Zhao Feng and immediately took to their heels.


    But some of them stared at Zhao Feng as if waiting for a chance.


    "This person happens to be the number one person on my race''s bounty board!"


    "He''s wearing a supreme-quality divine artifact, the Spacetime Robe!"


    However, Zhao Feng''s strength made them extremely apprehensive, so they decided to wait for the time being.


    It was rumored that Zhao Feng had singlehandedly saved Ancient God Origin Jade from Ancient God Iceflame and Ancient God Dark Crow. Although this was rather hard to believe, there was definitely something unusual about Zhao Feng''s strength.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s figure continued to blink throughout the army. A few of those with lower cultivations didn''t even know what was going on before Zhao Feng killed them.


    In the rear, Ancient God Blue Distance and his son, as well as Ancient God Floating Spirit and other experts who knew Zhao Feng, watched all this in shock.


    "How could this be? Even a reincarnated God Lord wouldn''t be able to match his cultivation speed!" Ancient God Blue Distance felt scared and helpless.


    "I truly didn''t think that he would grow to this level in such a short amount of time!" Ancient God Floating Spirit sighed. Although he had long ago predicted that Zhao Feng would have an incredible future, he had not expected it to come so quickly and for himself to bear witness to it all.


    Wearing the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng had the advantage in speed and could kill his way through the army without opposition. At this moment, he was a god of slaughter, causing all the Blazing Gold Race members to flee for their lives.


    "Not good! A half-step God Lord!" an Ancient God called out in alarm.


    Whoosh!


    A chilling white light flashed, and then an icy figure began to rapidly approach Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, die!" Ancient God Iceflame had a frigid expression, her eyes brimming with harsh killing intent.


    Ancient God Origin Jade, who should have been finished, had been rescued by Zhao Feng. This had become a sore point for Ancient God Iceflame, and if she did not kill Zhao Feng, she would find it hard to advance any further in her cultivation.


    "Haha, you guys also come out and make some trouble!" Zhao Feng looked at Ancient God Iceflame and heartily laughed.


    Suddenly, several figures shot out of the Spacetime Robe.


    One was a black-scaled man surrounded by black draconic flames, and he exuded a dreadful and calamitous aura.


    One was a handsome and mysterious youth, his dark silver eyes thrumming with formidable spacetime ripples.


    One was a black-clothed and callous youth with a gloomy face who was surrounded by deathly energy, his eyes like two frightening abysses of death.


    The moment these three appeared, their incredible auras swept through the surrounding area.


    "Who are these three?"


    "A powerful bloodline energy, the Eye of Spacetime, the Eye of Death... and this ancient bloodline that inspires fear! Could it be the Destruction Dragon Race...!?"


    The nearby Blazing Gold Race members were stunned.


    "There was another one!?" Ancient God Iceflame was alarmed, a nasty grimace on her face.


    Back then, it was precisely because she had been impeded by the Black Destruction Dragon and Zhao Kong that Zhao Feng and Ancient God Origin Jade were allowed to escape, and now there was another helper?


    In the distance, the Spiritual Race members were also stunned.


    "What''s with these three? Are they all experts that Zhao Feng befriended on his journeys?"


    "The Eye of Spacetime, the Eye of Death! Heavens, there''s even the Destruction Dragon Race!" Ancient God Blue Distance and his son trembled in fear.


    When they thought back to how they had targeted Zhao Feng, they truly counted themselves lucky that Zhao Feng had not killed them right then and there.


    "Stubborn woman, it''s you again?" The Black Destruction Dragon charged at Ancient God Iceflame without another word.


    Zhao Kong continued to assist the Black Destruction Dragon while Zhao Wang commenced a slaughter as if he was the god of death.


    "Heh, it''s about time they had a chance to show off." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Advancing along the path of martial cultivation was inevitably joined with killing. By killing, one could grow and get stronger.


    "I didn''t think that this kid would have so many helpers." In the rear of the Blazing Gold Race army, an elder wearing cloth robes softly spoke.


    "Master Li, do you have a plan?" a large and powerful man next to him asked.


    Even though they were both peak Rank Nine, this giant man of the Blazing Gold Race felt no confidence after seeing Zhao Feng''s feats on the battlefield.


    "This kid''s strength is equal to a half-step God Lord''s at the least, but there''s still a way to deal with him." Master Li stroked his beard as he told his plan to the giant man.


    "Members of the Blazing Gold Race, follow me to kill Zhao Feng!" the giant man loudly called out.


    The nearby Blazing Gold Race members were taken aback.


    Ever since Zhao Feng had saved Ancient God Origin Jade, he soared to the top three of the Blazing Gold Race''s bounty board. The bounty obtained from killing Zhao Feng was equivalent to killing a half-step God Lord, and anyone would be tempted.


    However, although the reward was tempting, Zhao Feng was powerful and had the defensive supreme-quality Spacetime Robe. Killing him was extremely difficult.


    "Everyone, there''s no need to worry. Master Li has a plan!" the giant man added.


    At this time, Master Li took a few steps forward.


    "It really is Master Li!"


    "I heard that the array around the stronghold was laid down by Master Li. Not even the Spiritual Race''s Second Elder dared to recklessly challenge it!"


    The name of Master Li resounded throughout the Blazing Gold Race.


    At this time, if they listened to Master Li''s orders, they had a high chance of killing Zhao Feng. Thus, many of the nearby True Gods and Ancient Gods gathered around the giant man and Master Li.


    "Hear my order! Begin to lay down the array!" The cloth-robed Master Li waved his hands.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Green array flags flew out, forming a strange diagram. The Blazing Gold Race members swiftly began to lay down the array according to Master Li''s orders.


    "Mm?" Zhao Feng, who was killing his way through the battlefield, noticed the peculiar activity going on.


    "Want to use an array to deal with me?" Zhao Feng''s body flashed as he rapidly began to approach the giant man and Master Li.


    "Don''t even think about it!" The giant man appeared angry, and his body immediately erupted with powerful bloodline energy.


    The array was still being laid down. Zhao Feng could not be permitted to interrupt this process.


    "Blazing Sun Fist!" The man punched out with both fists, sending out a dazzling ball of golden flame at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng felt no fear, his Chaos Origin Divine Sword slashing at the ball of flame.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Chaos Origin Divine Sword swiftly sliced the giant ball of fire to pieces.


    "So strong!" Cold sweat emerged on the giant man''s forehead.


    In this first clash, he was now sure that he was no match for Zhao Feng. If he fought him alone, he would probably be killed. "The Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array is done!" Master Li suddenly messaged.


    "Okay!" The giant man swiftly began to retreat "Want to leave?" Zhao Feng blinked forward.


    "Oh no!" The giant man grimaced as he sensed an incredible danger.


    He immediately activated his formidable physical body, his body blazing with golden light that exuded a powerful physical pressure.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng appeared behind the giant man, slashing down with the Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    Swish! Plush!


    Zhao Feng immediately cut a gaping hole in the giant man''s defenses. The golden flesh and bones revealed presented a gruesome sight as gold and red blood splashed out


    At this moment, a massive flame came out from behind them.


    "Retreat into the eye of the array!" Master Li called out to the giant man.


    A fire array controlled by twelve people was swiftly making its way toward Zhao Feng. In the center of the array was the peak Rank Nine Master Li. Around him were four Rank Eight Ancient Gods and seven Rank Seven Ancient Gods.


    Kabooom!


    A massive blade formed from golden flames hung above the array, exuding a blazing radiance. Even at this distance, Zhao Feng could feel its heat


    "This array truly is rather unusual." Zhao Feng''s gaze darkened. The power exuded by this array would even make a halfstep God Lord have second thoughts.


    Whoosh!


    The giant man rapidly retreated toward the giant flame blade.


    "There''s no need for you to go back!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted.


    Bzzzz!


    His left eye thrummed with Eye Intent, and his Chaos Origin Divine Power immediately formed a miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    Thwish!


    A moment later, this small Chaos Origin Divine Sword exploded out of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    The giant man was on the verge of entering the protection of the giant flame blade, when suddenly, a small sword plunged through his body.


    Plush!


    The giant man''s divine body and soul were instantly dealt grievous damage, causing him to vomit blood.


    "No...!" The giant man endured the vicious pain to get closer to the array. As long as he could get into the array, he still had a chance to survive.


    But suddenly, a dark silver sword stabbed straight through his chest. A powerful stream of energy immediately filled every part of his body, annihilating and devouring everything.


    "How...?" Master Li called out in alarm.


    The giant man was a peak Rank Nine Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race. Moreover, his bloodline was extremely thick and his talent incredible. He even had a chance of becoming a God Lord in the future.


    The giant man only needed to delay Zhao Feng for a few moments so that the array could be laid down. Little had he expected for Zhao Feng to easily kill him, causing him to never return from this battle.

 1419 Unstoppable

    Chapter 1419 - Unstoppable "How...?" Master Li called out in alarm.


    The giant man was a peak Rank Nine Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race. Moreover, his bloodline was extremely thick and his talent incredible. He even had a chance of becoming a God Lord in the future.


    The giant man only needed to delay Zhao Feng for a few moments so that the array could be laid down. Little had he expected for Zhao Feng to easily kill him, causing him to never return from this battle.


    Inside the Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array, the Ancient Gods trembled in fear and panic. Zhao Feng was simply too powerful; not even a peak Rank Nine stood a chance against him.


    "Everyone, don''t panic! With the Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array complete, we will be able to capture and kill him!" Master Li called out


    Although the array had lost the middle-aged giant man, the array still had the power to threaten a half-step God Lord.


    "Mm! Operate the array and kill Zhao Feng!" The eyes of the Ancient God experts flashed with determination.


    Master Li still had some measure of prestige in the Blazing Gold Race. The arrays he laid down had time and again rendered enormous service to the Blazing Gold Race.


    Kabooom!


    Master Li took command, raising up the flame blade created by the array high in the air, allowing it to exude a dangerous and scorching energy.


    The nearby Spiritual Race members sensed this energy and were forced to retreat.


    "Zhao Feng, die!" Master Li commanded the flame blade to slash down at Zhao Feng.


    Even before the blade had fully descended, it unleashed a dreadful wave of flame. At the same time, the blade exuded Space energy that was able to prevent nearby foes from using Instant Movement.


    Boom!


    This powerful blade slashed down, appearing like a surging river of fire. Thwish!


    Before it arrived, Zhao Feng transformed into a dreamy ray of silver light and left the range of the attack.


    Do you only know how to dodge!?" Master Li coldly roared.


    But in truth, Master Li was flabbergasted at Zhao Feng''s incredible speed. Even when controlling this array, they would only be able to resist Zhao Feng''s attacks, not kill him.


    "Any array has a weakness or gap." Zhao Feng''s left eye came to life as it focused on the Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array.


    In a flash, Zhao Feng could see everything regarding the Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array.


    Found it! Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    A moment later, he left a blur in the air as he approached the Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array.


    "He actually dares to approach the Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array!? How suicidal! The Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array is strong enough to resist even a half-step God Lord!" Master Li was delighted as he began to form a spell.


    The Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array immediately unleashed an enormous ring of flame. The closer one got, the more heat and pressure one would have to endure. A half-step God Lord with a weak divine body might not even be willing to approach this array.


    "Chaos Heaven Void Ring!" Zhao Feng immediately activated his own defensive skill, surrounding himself in dark silver energy. The waves of heat and pressure were swiftly absorbed by the Chaos Heaven Void Ring.


    "The weakness is here!" Zhao Feng swung the Chaos Origin Divine Sword at the array.


    Boom! Bang!


    A small gap instantly appeared in the enormous fire array.


    This array had a self-recovery ability and was able to quickly close this gap, but in the moment that the gap existed, Zhao Feng''s left eye had fired off a Chaos Origin sword bolt.


    "No...!" A Rank Seven Ancient God within the array sensed death approaching, and his face twisted in shock and fear. But his cultivation was too low for him to have any chance of surviving a casual strike from Zhao Feng.


    Swoosh!


    The Chaos Origin sword bolt pierced through the Rank Seven Ancient God''s body, pulverizing and devouring it.


    "Oh no!" Master Li grimaced as he once more had the flame blade attack Zhao Feng.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng disappeared in a flash of gold and silver, next appearing on the other side of the array.


    "Damn! Even when his Space Intent is restricted, this brat is still too fast!" Master Li had a bitter expression.


    Although the Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array was incredibly powerful, its speed was mediocre. And now, with one person gone, the array immediately weakened.


    "The place where the Rank Seven Ancient God was is where the array''s defenses are the weakest - where I can break through." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    "This kid managed to see the array''s weakness!" Master Li''s face twisted in hatred.


    "Retreat!" Master Li decided.


    With Zhao Feng''s advantage in speed, they would not be able to harm even a hair on his head. And Zhao Feng had already seen through the weakness of the Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array. This meant that the array''s collapse would only be a matter of time, and at that point, not even he would be able to survive.


    Boom!


    Master Li and the remaining people in the array began to fall back.


    "Today, none of you will be able to leave!" Zhao Feng called out as he shot forward.


    Thwish!


    He rushed at the Blazing Gold Race members inside the array.


    "Those I want to kill are doomed!" Zhao Feng once more set his eyes on the weakest point of the Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array.


    "Chaos Origin Conversion!" The Chaos Heaven Void Ring around him immediately transformed into a majestic stream of Chaos Origin Divine Power that flowed into the Chaos Origin Divine Sword in his hand.


    Bzzz!


    In a flash, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword became enormously heavily and grew to be several thousand feet long, thrumming with chaotic and violent pulses of energy that alarmed the world. Some powerful Ancient Gods nearby and even some halfstep God Lords sensed this power and were stunned.


    "Die!"


    The giant Chaos Origin Divine Sword descended with unstoppable momentum. Crack! The Demon-Slaughtering Celestial Fire Array was cleaved apart and instantly collapsed. And throughout this process, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword was constantly absorbing the energy of the array. Not one bit weakened, the sword began to sweep aside the Ancient Gods within the array.


    "Aaaaaah...!" Screams of despair resounded through the sky as the many Ancient Gods in the array were slain.


    "What frightening Chaos energy! Run!" Master Li, fear on his face, led the remaining members, all of them heavily injured, fleeing out of the collapsed array.


    "Want to leave?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled as he prepared to attack once more.


    But at this moment, an enormous pressure enveloped Zhao Feng.


    "Ancient God Dark Crow, save me!" Master Li immediately cried for help.


    Whoosh!


    An emaciated elder wearing a dark green robe charged over.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re too impudent!" Ancient God Dark Crow growled.


    Ancient God Dark Crow was a man of some reputation in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but he was defeated by Zhao Feng, a junior, not very long ago. He wanted to kill Zhao Feng just as badly as Ancient God Iceflame.


    "Just a loser," Zhao Feng indifferently said, not paying much attention to Ancient God Dark Crow.


    "You...! If you hadn''t worked with Ancient God Origin Jade, this old man would have never lost!" Ancient God Dark Crow''s face went red from fury as he roared back.


    Fwooosh!


    Shrouding his body in clouds of various colors, he flew toward Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Ancient God Dark Crow was a malignant tumor. He was so thickly covered in poisons that even a half-step God Lord would find their skin sloughing off from merely the act of touching him.


    "Ancient God Dark Crow, I spared your life last time, but since you''re delivering yourself to me, I won''t be polite!" Zhao Feng''s eyes chilled as he activated the Chaos Heaven Void Ring and fearlessly charged at Ancient God Dark Crow.


    "What a joke! Spared my life?" Ancient God Dark Crow immediately began to laugh. Although he wasn''t confident that he could kill Zhao Feng, he was sure that Zhao Feng couldn''t kill him.


    "Ice Fog!" Ancient God Dark Crow waved a hand, releasing a chilling poison fog into his surroundings.


    This gray-white poisonous ice fog immediately formed a domain of chilling poison. All Divine Power and life would rot into nothing by this toxin.


    Zhao Feng had just begun to approach when he realized that his Chaos Heaven Void Ring was also affected and was gradually weakening. He sensed that even the Divine Sense that he tried to send in would rot away from the chill.


    "Haha, this is a new poison and secret art I''ve developed specifically to deal with you!" Ancient God Dark Crow''s brash laughter came from within the fog.


    After his defeat at Zhao Feng''s hands, he had amply prepared himself. This icy fog kept out Divine Sense, so if Zhao Feng did not charge inside, he would find it very difficult to injure Ancient God Dark Crow. But once he did enter the fog, he would be assaulted by the chill. His speed, Divine Power, and all other aspects would be slowed.


    Suddenly, a dark green bolt of energy flew out of the fog. Zhao Feng sensed it and was able to dodge.


    He had to admit that Ancient God Dark Crow truly was talented in the Poison Dao. This icy mist somewhat countered Zhao Feng''s abilities. Even his Chaos Heaven Void Ring was affected by it


    But was Zhao Feng unable to determine Ancient God Dark Crow''s position just because he couldn''t send in his Divine Sense?


    Bzzzz!


    Dream mist began to appear in his left eye as he activated its see-through ability.


    "Mm?" Within the icy mist, Ancient God Dark Crow suddenly shivered as he sensed that Zhao Feng was looking right at him. Cha!


    A miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword suddenly shot out of the dreamy mists in Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "No...!" Ancient God Dark Crow was dumbstruck. Zhao Feng was able to determine his position!


    Swoosh!


    Caught off guard, Ancient God Dark Crow was pierced through by the Chaos Origin Divine Sword and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.


    At this moment, a massive Chaos Origin Divine Sword swung down from the heavens.


    "No!" Ancient God Dark Crow hastily dodged, but he was still a little too late.


    Swoosh! Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Sword struck Ancient God Dark Crow on his right shoulder, cutting away his right arm. "Ah...!" Ancient God Dark Crow screamed, but he was able to suppress the pain and began to swiftly retreat.


    "You think you can leave?" Zhao Feng sneered as a Chaos Origin Divine Sword formed in his other hand.


    Swish! Swish!


    Two Chaos Origin Divine Swords, each one a thousand feet long, slashed at Ancient God Dark Crow through the chilling fog.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancient God Dark Crow immediately threw out a five-colored pearl and detonated it. Various kinds of powerful poisons exploded out to block Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "How could this be? He''s gotten even stronger! Could it be... he didn''t use his full strength last time?" Ancient God Dark Crow shivered, his mind drowning in fear.


    Kaboom!


    Two enormous Chaos Origin Divine Swords pierced through the layers of poison mist and slashed down. Although they were somewhat weakened, they were still not something Ancient God Dark Crow could resist.


    Boom! Bang!


    Two gruesome wounds appeared on Ancient God Dark Crow''s back, so deep that flesh and bone were exposed.


    Swish!


    The Chaos Origin Divine Sword in Zhao Feng''s left hand disappeared, replaced with a crystal mirror.


    "Nine Lightning Soul Refinement!"


    The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror unleashed nine thick lightning dragons. The nine lightning dragons flew up into the sky and then immediately plunged back down.


    Boom! Hisss!


    All of them exploded on Ancient God Dark Crow''s body, so savagely tormenting his body that even death became preferable. Afterward, all the Lightning energy converted into chains of lightning that tightly wrapped around Ancient God Dark Crow''s soul.

 1420 The Frenzied Blazing Gold Race

    Chapter 1420 - The Frenzied Blazing Gold Race


    Swooosh!


    The nine lightning dragons transformed into dazzling chains that tightly bound up Ancient God Dark Crow''s soul. "No...! No!" Ancient God Dark Crow''s soul was pulled halfway out of his body by the lightning chains.


    He had heard about the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror. Although it was not particularly powerful offensively, its binding abilities were top-class. Once one was taken into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, one would be refined by endless lightning into Lightning Soul Crystals.


    "Get in there!" Zhao Feng''s left eye surged with powerful Soul Intent and Tribulation Lightning energy.


    Boom!


    Ancient God Dark Crow''s soul was knocked unconscious. His ability to resist plunged.


    Swish!


    The Nine Lightning Sou²·Refining Mirror pulsed with power, the lightning chains exploding with electricity.


    "Ah!" In a burst of thunder, Ancient God Dark Crow¡¯s soul was dragged into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    The screams soon came to a sudden stop.


    "Ancient God Dark Crow... died?" Far, far away, Master Li and the others saw this sight and shivered in terror.


    Too frightening! Even half-step God Lords were no match for Zhao Feng.


    With the death of Ancient God Dark Crow, many Blazing Gold Race members began to flee in terror to get away from Zhao Feng, instantly causing a rout.


    The Spiritual Race members were delighted to see this.


    "As expected of Zhao Feng! He broke directly into Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm, and now, in such a short period of time, he''s reached peak Rank Nine!"


    "Moreover, he''s even stronger than a typical half-step God Lord..."


    The majority of the Spiritual Race members were stunned, while some of the young and beautiful girls had looks of admiration in their eyes.


    At the same moment, a deafening explosion came from the God Lord battlefield, which was hundreds of thousands of li away.


    Booom! Whoosh!


    Streams of ice and water were battling with bizarre flames, their clashes cause space to distort and tremble. In the center of this storm of destruction, a middle-aged man of the Spiritual Race with a body of blue crystal glanced down below and muttered, "That young man isn''t bad."


    With three God Lords on each side, the two races had roughly the same level of strength.


    Each bloodline had its own advantages. The Spiritual Race''s was suited for long battles, defense, and recovery, while the Blazing Gold Race''s excelled in explosive power. As the battle dragged on, the Spiritual Race''s bloodline seemed to have the upper hand.


    "Irrelevant in the grand scheme of things." On the other side, an elder with a body of golden glass glanced down at Zhao Feng, a calm and composed expression on his face.


    Back on the battlefield down below, while the battle between the God Lords was rather easygoing, the clash between the middle and upper echelon members of the two races was far more intense. The most intense was actually the battle between the high-rank Ancient Gods and half-step God Lords.


    "Golden Flame Wave!" Elder Jin swung a massive golden saber, creating a dazzling wave of golden flame that swept toward the Spiritual Race''s Third Elder.


    Elder Jin was the strongest of the Blazing Gold Race''s half-step God Lords, and he had even comprehended a hint of Law energy. This, combined with the supreme-quality divine weapon in his hand, made him one of the strongest on this battlefield.


    "Earth Crystal Domain!" The Spiritual Race''s Third Elder''s body surged with yellow crystalline Divine Power that mobilized the Earth energy of the world.


    Brrrooom!


    One wall of transparent yellow crystal after another piled up around the Third Elder, instantly forming a sturdy crystal fortress to block Elder Jin''s nigh-God-Lord-level attack.


    These two were the strongest half-step God Lords of their respective races, and the other Rank Eight or Rank Nine Ancient Gods did not dare to approach.


    Nearby, a few half-step God Lords and high-rank Ancient Gods were fighting.


    One of them was the stiH-heavily-wounded Ancient God Origin Jade. She could only work with some other Ancient Gods to deal with a half-step God Lord of the Blazing Gold Race.


    Originally, the upper echelon members of the races had a similar level of strength. However, Zhao Feng had killed Ancient God Dark Crow and ten-some Ancient Gods, which was beginning to have an effect on the battlefield.


    The balance of power was slowly shifting toward the Spiritual Race. This caused the Spiritual Race God Lords to smile.


    Although the Spiritual Race bloodline was not the best at fighting, when it came to long-term fighting, survival, and defense, it was superior to the Blazing Gold Race. The current trends greatly favored the Spiritual Race.


    But at this moment, the situation down below suddenly shifted.


    "Come! Mobilize the Molten Gold Beast!" Elder Jin loudly called out.


    Brrrooom!


    He barely finished speaking when a great quaking came from the Blazing Gold Race camp, and then a searing and frenzied energy exploded into the skies. An ancient beast as large as a mountain started charging toward the battlefield.


    This beast was almost one hundred thousand feet tall, and its eyes were like the blazing golden light of the Golden Crows. Its entire body was covered in golden fur that seemed to be aflame. From a distance, it seemed like a massive mountain spewing flame, and its every step shook the earth.


    "Not good! It''s the Molten Gold Beast!"


    "This is the Blazing Gold Race''s Molten Gold Beast? I heard that the Blazing Gold Race has gone to great lengths to raise it and was even preparing to train it into a God Beast to protect their race!"


    Many of the Spiritual Race''s older generation members became tense. They heard long ago that the Blazing Gold Race had obtained a mutant ancient beast and had been using a secret technique to raise, allowing this Molten Gold Beast to obtain all kinds of unique abilities.


    It was said that the Molten Gold Beast''s Molten Gold Flame energy was extremely in tune with the bloodline of the Blazing Gold Race. It could even transfer this energy to the Blazing Gold Race members to greatly boost their fighting power.


    "Hurry and kill the Molten Gold Beast!" the Third Elder sent this order to the entire battlefield.


    They could not allow the Molten Gold Beast to meet up with the upper echelon members of the Blazing Gold Race, which would grant them a massive boost in strength.


    Thwish! Thwish! Thwish!


    Several powerful Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race, including a half-step God Lord, began to approach the Molten Gold Beast.


    The Blazing Gold Race immediately sent several half-step God Lords to lead a few Ancient Gods to reinforce the Molten Gold Beast.


    "Send more soldiers! We have to destroy the Molten Gold Beast!" the Third Elder worriedly said as he ordered around the soldiers.


    Whoosh! Kaboom!


    The upper echelon fighting forces of the two races clashed around the Molten Gold Beast Rooooar!


    The Molten Gold Beast''s roar resounded through the heavens, and its golden Divine Power fused with the bloodline Divine Power of the Blazing Gold Race, creating a golden hurricane that destroyed everything in its path.


    Fwoosh!


    "Aaaah.J"


    A few moments later, many Ancient Gods on the Spiritual Race side were slain by this golden hurricane. Even the Rank Seven Ancient Gods and the True Gods fighting on the perimeter were affected, with True God casualties numbering in the tens of thousands.


    "We can''t let them succeed! Everyone, get ready!" the Third Elder bellowed.


    Bzzz! Hisss!


    With him as the center, the nearby half-step God Lords, Rank Nines, and Rank Eights activated their Spiritual Race bloodlines.


    "Celestial Spirit Crystal Fortress!"


    In a flash, multicolored blood crystals formed together into a massive crystal wall that covered the nearby battlefield. Hwwwoooo!


    The terrifying golden hurricane battered against the crystal wall but failed to get through.


    The six God Lords high above all glanced down below.


    "Interesting.... The Spiritual Race''s trump card technique?"


    "As expected of the Celestial Spirit Crystal Fortress. Using bloodline energy to crystallize even space itself. Not even an ordinary God Lord would be able to break through this defense...."


    "It''s said that the Celestial Spirit Crystal Fortress can also be used for offense. No one weaker than a God Lord would be able to hold against those attacks."


    The three God Lords of the Blazing Gold Race smiled at each other as they conversed.


    This sight made the three God Lords of the Spiritual Race uneasy.


    At this moment:


    "Although my race planned to turn the Molten Gold Beast into a God Beast to protect our race, in order to win this war, any sacrifice is worth it!" Down below, Elder Jin sighed.


    Sacrifice?


    "Oh no!" The Third ÈÕder''s face twisted.


    "Retreat!" The Third Elder''s voice resounded over the battlefield.


    "Too late!" Elder Jin''s voice carried a lethal chill.


    Bzzz! Boom!


    The massive Molten Gold Beast''s body suddenly surged with a forbidden power. The Spiritual Race experts near the Molten Gold Beast immediately sensed danger and began to retreat.


    Roooooar!


    With low and plaintive howls, the Molten Gold Beast''s body began to swell, the flames on its golden fur blazing even more fiercely. A moment later, countless small cracks appeared on the Molten Gold Beast''s body, and then endless explosive power erupted outward.


    Brrrooom!


    Like a sun exploding, a destructive shockwave of golden flame swept over the battlefield, turning everything it passed over into ash. Even the Celestial Spirit Crystal Fortress was blasted to smithereens.


    The Spiritual Race Ancient Gods closer to the Molten Gold Beast were simply disintegrated.


    "Aaaaaah...!"


    At this instant, the Spiritual Race lost ten-some Rank Nine Ancient Gods. Even two half-step God Lords who were too close were killed on the spot!


    The Blazing Gold Race had long expected this move, so its nearby experts had used secret techniques to retreat before the Molten Gold Beast detonated. Moreover, the golden Divine Power of the Molten Gold Beast could be absorbed by the Blazing Gold Race''s bloodline, so the explosion did much less damage to the Blazing Gold Race.


    "The Blazing Gold Race... to think it would use this move!" Zhao Feng somewhat paled as silver ripples appeared on the Spacetime Robe. Even at this distance, he was somewhat affected by the shockwave.


    Sacrificing a half-step God Lord ancient beast... wasn''t that a little too ruthless?


    After a long while:


    Whoosh!


    The dazzling golden light began to fade.


    The scene was revealed; the Spiritual Race had suffered devastating losses.


    Ugh!


    The Spiritual Race''s Third Elder still stood in the same spot where he stood before the explosion and suddenly vomited blood.


    The Molten Gold Beast''s self-detonation had caused the Spiritual Race to lose two half-step God Lords and ten-some Rank Nine Ancient Gods. Besides that, several half-step God Lords were severely wounded, and there were some Ancient Gods who had been temporarily rendered incapable of fighting.


    In the sky:


    "What!?" The Spiritual Race Patriarch trembled in shock.


    "Haha, before the battle, we messed around with the Molten Gold Beast''s body so that its self-detonation would have a power far exceeding that of a First Heaven God Lord."


    "Tsk, tsk, if not for the Celestial Spirit Crystal Fortress, they wouldn¡¯t have only lost two half-step God Lords."


    The God Lords of the Blazing Gold Race couldn''t help but laugh.


    The three God Lords of the Spiritual Race all had nasty grimaces. None of them had expected the Blazing Gold Race to sacrifice their future God Beast in a self-detonation.


    "Hahaha.... Kill them all!" Elder Jin heartily laughed at the sky, a hint of savagery in his eyes.


    Swoosh! Thwish! Thwish! Thwish!


    Under Elder Jin''s command, the countless experts of the Blazing Gold Race charged at the badly wounded Spiritual Race army.


    "Kill!"


    "This battle is our Blazing Gold Race''s certain victory!"


    "Hah, Spiritual Race brats, obediently accept your deaths!"


    Two vast waves collided against each other, but the Spiritual Race immediately lost ground and was pushed back again and again.


    Ancient God Origin Jade was in the middle of this battle.


    "Little girl, are you the number one female prodigy of the Spiritual Race''s last generation? Let me play around with you!" A middle-aged man with pitch-black armor and a black horn sprouting from his head rushed at Ancient God Origin Jade.


    "Half-step God Lord?" Ancient God Origin Jade had a bitter expression.


    She was already injured, and the detonation of the Molten Gold Beast had worsened those injuries. Even though this blackhorned man was just an ordinary half-step God Lord from a peak four-star faction, she still could not fight against him.


    On the other end of the battlefield:


    It seems like I can no longer hold anything back....


    As he saw all these tragic and gruesome sights play out on the battlefield, Zhao Feng''s expression turned cold. His silver hair danced in the wind as a dreamy luster began to shine from it.

 1421 Killing One Half-Step God Lord After Another

    Chapter 1421 - Killing One Half-Step God Lord After Another


    The self-detonation of the Molten Gold Beast dealt a destructive blow to the battlefield. The Spiritual Race sustained grievous losses, with two half-step God Lords and ten-some Rank Nine Ancient Gods killed by the explosion. The remaining Spiritual Race experts were almost all heavily wounded. The situation was dire.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Origin Jade was in a daze.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, a pitch-black figure approached her.


    "Little girl, are you the number one female prodigy of the Spiritual Race''s last generation? Let me play around with you!" A middle-aged man with pitch-black armor and a black horn sprouting from his head rushed at Ancient God Origin Jade.


    The shockwaves of the explosion just now had damaged many parts of Ancient God Origin Jade''s clothes, exposing her alluring crystalline skin.


    "Half-step God Lord?" Ancient God Origin Jade had a bitter expression.


    She was already injured, and the detonation of the Molten Gold Beast had worsened those injuries. Even though this blackhorned man was just an ordinary half-step God Lord from a peak four-star faction, she still could not fight against him.


    "Hah, relax, I won''t kill you straight away. You''ll just become my hostage." The black-horned man made no attempts to hide his desires.


    "You...! Shameless!" Ancient God Origin Jade''s cheeks blushed in rage as she roared.


    "Heh, the fate of the Spiritual Race is decided. Defeat is inevitable. Just obediently be captured. With me, you still have a chance to survive!" The black-horned man wickedly laughed as black flames began to rise from his body.


    Swish!


    The black-horned man''s body flashed as he charged toward Ancient God Origin Jade, shrouded in black flames.


    "Damn... so powerful!" Ancient God Origin Jade immediately felt an immense pressure on her body, which felt like it had been set aflame by those sinister flames.


    At her peak, she naturally wouldn''t have feared this man, but at this time, she was incapable of fighting back.


    The black-horned man was about to reach her, but suddenly...


    Swish! Plush!


    A dark silver sword erupted from the man''s chest, carrying with it a few splashes of black blood.


    "Zhao Feng?" Ancient God Origin Jade''s crystal eyes turned to the silver-robed youth behind the man.


    Zhao Feng had saved her once again.


    "Zhao Feng...?" The black-horned man was startled.


    The Spiritual Race had suffered grievous losses and was being overwhelmingly crushed. Thus, he had never imagined that someone would attack him at this time, allowing Zhao Feng''s sneak attack to succeed.


    At this moment, the man felt as if all the energy in his body was being disrupted and devoured by a strange force field. Boom!


    The black-horned man immediately exploded with his bloodline energy and Divine Power, allowing him to break free and make his escape.


    Zhao Feng''s feats were far too numerous, and though many of them seemed unbelievable, they were evidence that Zhao Feng was not simple. And Zhao Feng''s sword strike just now made the black-horned man even more sure that Zhao Feng was far stronger than an ordinary half-step God Lord.


    Swish!


    After blinking away some distance, the black-horned man stopped and prepared to heal his wounds. Not good...! Suddenly, he sensed danger approaching and grimaced.


    Swoosh!


    At this moment, two Chaos Origin Divine Swords once more stabbed through his back. The energy Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Sword had absorbed before made these swords even stronger.


    "Chaos Heaven Sword Vacuum!" The Chaos Origin Divine Sword in Zhao Feng''s hand cut upward, at the same time releasing a chaotic flurry of silver sword images that fused together into a Silver Sword Void Vacuum.


    Swish!


    At the same time, the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror in Zhao Feng''s other hand released nine lightning chains that wrapped around the black-horned man''s soul.


    "Ah...!" The man screamed as his divine body was ground down and devoured. As for his soul, it was dragged into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    It took less than four seconds to kill the black-horned man.


    Zhao Feng already found it enormously easy to kill a powerful half-step God Lord like Ancient God Dark Crow. A mediocre half-step God Lord like the black-horned man was even easier to dispose of.


    "Dead?" In the distance, Ancient God Origin Jade was stunned. In Zhao Feng''s hands, an ordinary half-step God Lord was incapable of putting up any resistance whatsoever.


    She was even beginning to doubt herself. Was this cold, composed, and mighty Zhao Feng really the person that she had been taking care of all this time?


    After killing the black-horned man, Zhao Feng vanished from Ancient God Origin Jade''s sight At another place on the battlefield:


    "Stubborn woman, I can''t believe that your Blazing Gold Race was really willing to sacrifice such a precious beast." The Black Destruction Dragon evilly chuckled.


    Boom!


    Two dragon claws wreathed in black flame slashed at Ancient God Iceflame.


    "Spacetime Blade!" Zhao Kong appeared behind the Black Destruction Dragon, a seemingly endless blade of Spacetime energy shooting out of his eyes.


    "Damn, these two scoundrels are actually fine?" Ancient God Iceflame grimaced.


    In the face of the combined attacks of Zhao Kong and the Black Destruction Dragon, she could only passively defend.


    "Heh, you''re looking down on my Destruction Dragon Race too much!" The Black Destruction Dragon sneered, appearing slightly smug.


    Although the Molten Gold Beast''s detonation was powerful, it and Zhao Kong were closely pursuing Ancient God Iceflame and so were rather far away from the center of the explosion. Moreover, the Black Destruction Dragon possessed a type of undying body. This sort of explosion naturally could not inflict any substantive damage to it.


    And with its protection, Zhao Kong would naturally not suffer any serious injuries either.


    "Ancient God Iceflame, I''ve come to help you!" A handsome peak Rank Nine Ancient God charged toward Ancient God Iceflame.


    The explosion of the Molten Gold Beast had dealt such severe damage to the Spiritual Race that the Blazing Gold Race had much more manpower available now. Moreover, Ancient God Iceflame was the Blazing Gold Race''s number one female prodigy of the previous generation and still the goddess in the hearts of countless men. If she was in difficult straits, countless people would be willing to aid her.


    Not long after the handsome man arrived, two more joined him.


    At this moment, a voice resounded in the Black Destruction Dragon''s mind; "Attack with full power and kill Ancient God Iceflame."


    "Haha, stubborn woman, we''ll stop playing with you here!" The Black Destruction Dragon chuckled.


    "Want to escape?" Ancient God Iceflame scornfully giggled. How could she possibly let Zhao Kong and the Black Destruction Dragon go so easily?


    "What a joke!" The Black Destruction Dragon growled, and then it spat out a pearl covered in carvings of draconic flames. This was none other than the supreme-quality divine artifact Dragonflame Pearl.


    Zhao Kong''s Eyes of Spacetime also began to fully activate, and Spacetime energy began to revolve around his body.


    "Work together and kill them!" Ancient God Iceflame''s expression chilled as she harshly called out.


    The men around her rejoiced and began to use powerful secret skills so that they could kill the Black Destruction Dragon and Zhao Kong.


    But at this moment, a powerful aura began to approach.


    "Mm?" Ancient God Iceflame''s brow creased.


    Even though the Spiritual Race was the weaker side at this time, a half-step God Lord had somehow still decided to come and attack her.


    But a moment later, Ancient God Iceflame grimaced.


    Swish!


    A silver figure appeared right in front of Ancient God Iceflame.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword, slash!" Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Power madly surged, forming an enormous Chaos Origin Divine Sword that swept across.


    "Ah...!" In a flash, the peak Rank Nine and regular Rank Nine Ancient Gods were cut in half.


    "Destruction Dragon Breath!" The Black Destruction Dragon roared, unleashing a blast of forbidden Destructive energy from its mouth. This Destructive energy was unleashed through the Dragonflame Pearl, making it even stronger.


    Boom!


    A massive black sun suddenly appeared in the sky, unleashing forbidden Destructive flames that destroyed everything they touched.


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Iceflame''s face froze as she immediately activated her body''s defenses. Her exquisite and icy body was immediately covered in a layer of tough ice.


    Kabooom!


    The Chaos Origin Divine Sword and the Destruction Dragon Breath struck. A moment later, two peak Rank Nine Ancient Gods and three Rank Nine Ancient Gods were slain. Only Ancient God Iceflame, with her formidable defenses and incredible strength, was able to escape.


    "Space-Destroying Blade!" Zhao Kong''s Eyes of Spacetime fired off an unreal white blade.


    Although Zhao Kong was only a Rank Nine Ancient God, his Eyes of Spacetime were nearly at the Quasi God Eye level and were incredibly powerful.


    Thwish!


    With an unfathomable speed, this white blade pierced through space.


    After barely escaping the attacks of Zhao Feng and the Black Destruction Dragon, Ancient God Iceflame was struck once more.


    Thump! Thump!


    Ancient God Iceflame''s charming body swayed in the air as she vomited blood. But she continued to try her utmost to remain conscious as she circulated her Blazing Gold Race bloodline and attempted to retreat


    "Zhao Feng is here! Hurry and kill him!" Ancient God Iceflame called out


    But in truth, she was seeking help, and her pride kept her from directly saying it. If no one came to her aid, Zhao Feng, the Black Destruction Dragon, and Zhao Kong would kill her.


    "No one can save you!" Zhao Feng roared as he charged forward.


    "Hurry and save me!" This time, Ancient God Iceflame was prompted by her lethal crisis to directly cry for help.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng swiftly swung the Chaos Origin Divine Sword, slashing at Ancient God Iceflame''s body and leaving a gruesome wound.


    But Ancient God Iceflame''s special bloodline allowed her to rapidly heal from these wounds, and those powerful chilling flames were even able to affect Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Sword!


    "I''ll have you try out my Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword." Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    Swish!


    Tribulation Lightning energy began to surge out of his Lightning Soul Body. In a flash, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Sword began to crackle with lightning, transforming it into a Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!


    Boom! Hisss!


    A powerful Destructive energy passed through the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword and onto Ancient God Iceflame''s body. The combination of Tribulation Lightning energy and Chaos Origin Divine Power allowed the power of the sword to rise to a whole new level.


    This enormous energy immediately encroached upon and shattered Ancient God Iceflame''s divine body. With the divine body shattered, it was even easier for the Chaos Origin Divine Sword to absorb energy and increase its power.


    "Nooo...!" This dreadful energy caused Ancient God Iceflame to shed tears as she cried out in terror.


    But all her struggles were meaningless.


    Fwooosh!


    Ancient God Iceflame''s body and soul were distorted and shattered until nothing was left.


    "To think it would be this powerful..." Zhao Feng was pleasantly surprised.


    "What move is that!?" The Black Destruction Dragon was stunned.


    A single sword was able to attack both body and soul, killing Ancient God Iceflame.


    The Blazing Gold Race experts who had just arrived saw this sight and immediately fled in fear.


    "Too terrifying! Ancient God Iceflame was killed with no chance to resist!" A peak Rank Nine Ancient God had his courage shattered by this sight


    "Master, next, we should...?" the Black Destruction Dragon asked.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng said only one word.


    After saying this, his body blinked away.


    Plush!


    A moment later, his figure began to carve a bloody path through the Blazing Gold Race as he unstoppably pressed through.

 1422 Unequaled Advantage

    Chapter 1422 - Unequaled Advantage


    Once Zhao Feng held nothing back and used all his power, he could casually kill anyone beneath the half-step God Lord level.


    Swoosh! Swish!


    Wherever he went, blood would spill, paving a road of red.


    "Ah...!"


    Screams filled the air as all the nearby experts fled in panic and consternation.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng''s speed made him impossible to react to, and he instantly caught up to the escapees.


    "Die!" With a swing of the Chaos Origin Divine Sword and a silver flash, a Rank Nine Ancient God was cleaved apart, dead in both body and soul.


    A few moments later, all the Ancient Gods who had been preparing to help Ancient God Iceflame had all been killed. This broke the nerve of the nearby Blazing Gold Race members.


    "It''s too terrifying! It''s a killing god!"


    "Run!"


    Although Zhao Feng was in the middle of the Blazing Gold Race army, the ordinary True Gods and Ancient Gods around him all retreated in terror.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng roared, a vicious killing intent spreading outward and seeping into everyone''s souls.


    "Commence the slaughter!" The Black Destruction Dragon''s eyes blazed with draconic fire, its blood awakened by Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Black Destruction Dragon and Zhao Kong charged forward.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The three of them wreaked havoc among the Blazing Gold Race soldiers, dominating all in their path. Zhao Feng, in particular, was like a ghost, instantly killing everyone he encountered.


    In the distance, the upper echelon members of the Blazing Gold Race army that were charging at the Spiritual Race were alarmed by this sight


    "What''s going on in the rear?" Elder Jin was rather confused.


    The Spiritual Race had suffered a tragic defeat, and he was leading the upper echelon members of the Blazing Gold Race in continuing the pursuit so that they could completely annihilate the Spiritual Race. But something had apparently gone wrong in the rear.


    As they sent out their Divine Senses, all the upper echelon members of the Blazing Gold Race paled.


    "Damn! This brat...! How arrogant, slaughtering my Blazing Gold Race members like this! Elder Chen, organize some experts and eliminate him!" Elder Jin bellowed.


    Although Zhao Feng had to be killed, in this war, exterminating the Spiritual Race took priority.


    "Yes!" A black-robed elder lowered his head, killing intent flashing in his eyes.


    In front of the Blazing Gold Race, the remnants of the Spiritual Race army had reorganized and were engaged in a fighting retreat "What''s going on? Some of the Blazing Gold Race members have withdrawn!" Ancient God Floating Spirit asked in confusion.


    "It''s Zhao Feng! He''s still inside the Blazing Gold Race army!" Ancient God Origin Jade immediately said.


    "That''s right, it''s Zhao Feng. He is tearing through the Blazing Gold Race. Rank Nine Ancient Gods... even peak Rank Nine Ancient Gods, he''s crushing them all!" the Third Elder scanned with his Divine Sense and slowly said, his eyes unfocused.


    All the nearby Spiritual Race members were given a jolt by this news. Zhao Feng had still not given up and was fighting in the middle of the Blazing Gold Race army, taking the pressure off of them.


    "Elder, we have to hold on!" Ancient God Origin Jade tightly grasped her jade sword, her eyes shining with determination as she fired off several green crystal sword waves.


    In the rear of the Blazing Gold Race army, Zhao Feng, the Black Destruction Dragon, and Zhao Kong were still slaughtering the Blazing Gold Race soldiers.


    Suddenly, powerful energies began to approach.


    "What a large force!" The Black Destruction Dragon''s eyes turned grave.


    The black-robed elder was a half-step God Lord, and he was accompanied by another halfstep God Lord, five peak Rank Nine Ancient Gods, and eight ordinary Rank Nine Ancient Gods. Such a powerful force caused even the Black Destruction Dragon to turn serious.


    But at this moment, Zhao Feng called out, "Leave this place to me. The two of you, go and help the Spiritual Race."


    "What?" The Black Destruction Dragon was stunned.


    The Blazing Gold Race had dispatched such a powerful force, but Zhao Feng was having the two of them leave? Was he preparing to fight them all on his own?


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    The two of them charged out from another side.


    The black-robed elder glanced at the Black Destruction Dragon and Zhao Kong before once more staring at Zhao Feng.


    "Junior, today is the day you die!" the elder called out.


    "Surround and kill!" the middle-aged half-step God Lord with a fiery robe ordered.


    In a flash, the peak Rank Nine and Rank Nine Ancient Gods scattered so that they could surround Zhao Feng. At the same time, a translucent silver chain appeared in the black-robed elder''s hand.


    "Lock!" the elder roared, and then the silver chain rose into the air and began to get larger and larger.


    Clingcling!


    An incredibly long silver chain circled around in the sky and finally began to exude a powerful Space energy. At this moment, this area of the world was sealed, and Space Intent became unusable.


    "Junior, you won''t be able to escape now." The black-robed elder laughed.


    Zhao Feng was so fast that not even a half-step God Lord could compare. The Blazing Gold Race knew this. Thus, in order to deal with Zhao Feng, they had to restrain his speed.


    "You''ve sent yourselves to die, so I won''t be polite." Zhao Feng was unperturbed, his emotionless voice tinged with frigid killing intent


    Right after speaking:


    Thwish!


    He shot forward in a faint golden streak of lightning.


    Even without using Space Intent, Zhao Feng still had Wind, Lightning, and Metal Intents to boost his speed. And besides that, he still had the powerful Time Intent!


    "Oh no!" the black-robed elder called out in alarm upon seeing that Zhao Feng was still as fast as ever.


    The seal on Space Intent didn''t just affect Zhao Feng, but them as well.


    Even with Space Intent unusable, their speeds were still inferior to Zhao Feng''s.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    Zhao Feng formed a Chaos Origin Divine Sword in his hand, and an invisible force field began to absorb the surrounding energy.


    "Watch out!" the black-robed elder and fiery-robed man called out in warning.


    But it was too late. Time Intent spread out, and Zhao Feng flashed to and fro as if he was using Spatial Blink.


    Swoosh!


    He immediately appeared next to a Rank Nine Ancient God. With a swing of his sword, he obliterated the Ancient God''s body and soul.


    "Kill him!" the black-robed elder roared, and everyone converged on Zhao Feng.


    But after killing one person, Zhao Feng shot toward a peak Rank Nine Ancient God.


    "Not good! He wants to kill me!" The peak Rank Nine knew just how powerful Zhao Feng was and immediately tried to flee.


    But strange white ripples appeared on his body, instantly causing everything around him to slow down.


    "No, no...!" The Blazing Gold Race member could only watch and desperately cry out as Zhao Feng approached.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng''s sword descended, turning all into dust and bringing those desperate cries to a sudden stop.


    Hisss!


    All fell deathly still. All the Blazing Gold Race members who had come stood in a daze. They had gathered such a terrifying force to surround and kill Zhao Feng, but all they could do was watch as Zhao Feng killed two Rank Nine Ancient Gods.


    Even an old school peak Rank Nine Ancient God had no chance against Zhao Feng.


    "Hurry! Surround him!" the black-robed elder roared.


    As long as they were able to close the circle enough, they could assist anyone that Zhao Feng tried to attack.


    "Truly ignorant." Zhao Feng sneered, and then he vanished in a streak of Wind Lightning.


    "Over there!" the fiery-robed middle-aged man called out


    Everyone turned and saw that Zhao Feng had escaped their encirclement!


    "How could this be? How is he so fast!?" A fearful look appeared on the face of a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    Zhao Feng had an unequaled advantage in speed and was capable of easily leaving their encirclement.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng moved once more. He did not retreat, but attacked the Blazing Gold Race members.


    "Junior, cease this impudence!" The middle-aged man wasn''t that far from Zhao Feng and immediately rushed over.


    Zhao Feng had used his own speed to escape their encirclement, but now he was conning back. This was nothing more than challenging them - humiliating them.


    Thwish!


    But Zhao Feng truly was too quick. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before two Blazing Gold Race members and swung his Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    "Aaaah! Aaaah...!"


    Two screams resounded through the air, signifying the deaths of two more powerful Ancient Gods.


    "Damn, brat...!" The fiery-robed man flew into a rage.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted. Glancing at the middle-aged man, he rushed over to attack him.


    "Okay!" The fiery-robed man rejoiced. Zhao Feng was far too arrogant; despite his advantage in speed, he was attacking a half-step God Lord directly.


    In terms of strength, the man knew that he was no match for Zhao Feng, but he only needed to hold down Zhao Feng for a little while.


    Boom!


    The man''s body immediately erupted with endless flames, working together with that fiery robe to send searing flames soaring into the sky. He waved both palms around to control the flames, turning them into beasts of fire, and in the sky, a cloud of flame took the form of a giant net


    "Hmph!" Unafraid, Zhao Feng continued to charge at the fiery-robed man.


    Bzzzz!


    His Chaos Origin Divine Sword thrummed with astonishing Divine Power. The Chaos Origin Divine Sword had absorbed a great deal of energy from killing all those Ancient Gods, and it was now stronger than ever before.


    At this moment, an arc of electricity suddenly flitted across the Chaos Origin Divine Sword. In a flash, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword was covered completely in surging lightning.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Formidable Chaos Origin Divine Power formed a force field that either absorbed or destroyed everything around Zhao Feng, clearing his surroundings. And the Chaos Origin Divine Sword continued to soar in power, upon which the fiery-robed man suddenly realized that he was facing a mortal peril.


    "Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng gripped the sword with both hands and slashed.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword was unstoppable, slashing straight through the flames and then stabbing toward the fiery-robed man''s chest


    "Oh no!" The man''s soul trembled as he began to flee.


    But a formidable Time energy suddenly engulfed his body.


    oom! Bang!


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword pierced through him, destroying him in both body and soul. The surrounding flames also vanished.


    Of course, the killing was not over just yet


    Thwish!


    After killing the fiery-robed man, Zhao Feng set his eyes on the black-robed elder, his Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword pulsing with dreadful energy.


    "No..." As the leader of this team, he was stricken with fear, his body beginning to shiver.


    Run!


    This was the only thought left in his mind. Not even he would have been able to survive that immensely powerful attack just now.


    But at this moment, there was a silver flash near him, and then a lethal chill stabbed into his chest.


    Swoosh!


    After making this strike, the little thieving cat fled.


    "Damn! That lowly cat...!" The black-robed elder cursed, but a moment later, his face twisted.


    A powerful Time energy had descended, making his thoughts, movements, Divine Power, and everything else move with extremely slow speed. And then a domineering and gigantic Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword came down.


    Boom! Hisss!


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword was even stronger now, and all of this enormous strength poured down onto the black-robed elder.


    The black-robed elder''s body quivered, countless tiny cracks appearing on its surface.


    Boom! Bang!


    Suddenly, the black-robed elder''s body exploded, leaving nothing behind.


    "What...? How could this be!?"


    The remaining Ancient God experts had ashen expressions, their minds crumbling in despair.


    On the front line, Elder Jin scanned with his Divine Sense and paled. He had sent over Elder Chen, but a few moments later, Elder Chen and the other half-step God Lord had both been slain by Zhao Feng, as had nearly half of the Ancient Gods sent with them.

 1423 Exterminating All

    Chapter 1423 - Exterminating All


    The slaughter Zhao Feng had inflicted left people trembling in fear and the upper echelon members of the Blazing Gold Race reeling in shock.


    As for the Spiritual Race, it was ecstatic.


    "Zhao Feng is already this powerful?" The Third Elder had a rather complicated expression, but he was still quite happy.


    Zhao Feng''s assault had raised the morale of the Spiritual Race and dampened the courage of the Blazing Gold Race. And Zhao Feng''s assault also meant that the Spiritual Race was receiving much less pressure from enemy attacks.


    "So powerful! He completely disregarded the Blazing Gold Race''s encirclement!"


    Many members of the Spiritual Race were stunned by the carnage Zhao Feng had wrought.


    "Damn! This kid can''t be left alive!" Elder Jin had an extremely sinister expression.


    He had seen Zhao Feng constantly get stronger and stronger. This growth speed made even him feel some fear.


    "Ancient God Blood Eagle, come with me and let''s kill Zhao Feng!" Elder Jin suddenly called over another half-step God Lord.


    The Blazing Gold Race still had the upper hand in the battle with the upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race, but if Zhao Feng was allowed to continue, the battle might experience a reversal.


    "Okay!" a slender Ancient God wrapped in dark red blood replied.


    Ancient God Blood Eagle was a half-step God Lord renowned for his speed in the Blazing Gold Race.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Two flashes of light shot toward Zhao Feng in the rear of the battlefield.


    "Not good! Elder Jin is going to personally deal with Zhao Feng!" The Third Elder grimaced.


    Elder Jin was the strongest half-step God Lord of the Blazing Gold Race and had grasped a sliver of Law energy. He could be considered the peak expert on this battlefield among the experts beneath the God Lord level.


    Alas, the Third Elder had been badly wounded by the explosion of the Molten Gold Beast and was helpless to stop him. And he could not leave this place regardless. Otherwise, the remaining members of the Spiritual Race would be in great peril.


    "Zhao Feng, watch out!" Ancient God Origin Jade yelled into the distance.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng''s eyes gleamed as he turned his gaze to Elder Jin and Ancient God Blood Eagle.


    "You also can''t do anything to me." Zhao Feng chuckled as he swung his Chaos Origin Divine Sword once again. Swoosh!


    A nearby Rank Nine Ancient God of the Blazing Gold Race who was trying to flee had his soul exterminated. "Impudent! Ignorant junior!" Elder Jin cursed, his body seething with rage.


    Zhao Feng said such words before Elder Jin had even attacked. This was nothing more than a direct challenge and humiliation to Elder Jin.


    High up in the sky, on the God Lord battlefield:


    "Good kid!" The Spiritual Race Patriarch''s brow relaxed as he faintly smiled.


    Although the detonation of the Molten Gold Beast had dealt a heavy blow to the Spiritual Race and plunged it into an unprecedented crisis, the carnage inflicted by Zhao Feng had somewhat salvaged the situation. The Spiritual Race still had a chance. It still had not been defeated!


    "Useless things!" The Blazing Gold Race Patriarch growled.


    "Exterminate Zhao Feng!" Elder Jin loudly called out.


    Quite a few Rank Nine Ancient God experts began to gather around.


    Zhao Feng''s killing spree made them fearful and timid, but now that Elder Jin was personally taking action and had given the order, they did not dare to disobey. Besides, Elder Jin was a peak half-step God Lord while Ancient God Blood Eagle was renowned in the Blazing Gold Race for his speed. Zhao Feng would not be able to continue being so unbridled.


    "A good move!" In this situation, Zhao Feng laughed and instantly charged forward.


    The more that came, the more he would kill!


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng had a Chaos Origin Divine Sword in his right hand and the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror in his left hand.


    Sword bolts and lightning crisscrossed the battlefield.


    Swish! Boom! Hiss!


    Zhao Feng cut through the battlefield, leaving chaos and death in his wake. A Rank Nine Ancient God was exterminated with a single slash. Peak Rank Nine Ancient Gods were also speedily dealt with. They were either slain by the sword or had their souls absorbed into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror.


    "Junior, if you''ve got the ability, come and attack me!" Elder Jin''s eyes blazed with golden fire as he roared.


    In terms of speed, even Elder Jin and Ancient God Blood Eagle were still a little lacking compared to Zhao Feng. At this moment, while Zhao Feng was killing his way through the battlefield, the two of them could not catch up.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Elder Jin and Ancient God Blood Eagle led two teams consisting of many Rank Nine experts to intercept Zhao Feng. A single Rank Nine or peak Rank Nine Ancient God wouldn''t even be able to last a few seconds against Zhao Feng. For this reason, they all followed the half-step God Lord, making absolutely sure that they didn''t get separated.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng, with his Chaos Origin Divine Sword and Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, descended upon a Rank Nine and Rank Eight.


    "Nooo...!" The two of them burned their Divine Power to desperately escape.


    "Don''t even think about it!" A massive bolt of bloody energy shot out from the distance, causing an oppressive and bloody stench to engulf Zhao Feng.


    Thwish!


    Ancient God Blood Eagle shot forward in a bolt of dark red energy. As he flew forward, he absorbed vast quantities of blood, further increasing his speed.


    In a flash, Ancient God Blood Eagle approached Zhao Feng.


    "Bloodfiend Bind!" Ancient God Blood Eagle stretched out two claws, and then an enormous stream of Divine Power of the Blood Dao appeared around Zhao Feng.


    Gurgle!


    A demonic pool of dark red blood appeared around Zhao Feng, and countless savage hands and claws were reaching out of this pool to snatch at Zhao Feng.


    "Great!" Many of the Blazing Gold Race members rejoiced at this sight.


    Zhao Feng''s killing spree had struck fear into everyone''s hearts, and all the members of the Blazing Gold Race ardently hoped that he would be killed.


    "Since you''ve sent yourself to death, I''ll fulfill your wish!" Zhao Feng''s gaze chilled as he stared at Ancient God Blood Eagle.


    Thwish!


    Chaos Origin Divine Power surged around his body, instantly creating a dark silver barrier. The moment these bloody hands and claws touched the Chaos Heaven Void Ring, their strength was halved. At the same time, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Heaven Void Ring also began to absorb the energy of the pool of blood.


    "Chaos Origin Conversion!" The Chaos Heaven Void Ring suddenly transformed into countless silver streams of energy that flowed into the Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    Bzzz!


    The Chaos Origin Divine Sword immediately expanded to become several thousand feet long, pulsing with heavenshaking energy. Ancient God Blood Eagle and the other nearby Rank Nine Ancient Gods trembled in fear and shock.


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Blood Eagle paled. Sensing danger, he immediately turned around and ran.


    He had already managed to delay Zhao Feng for a few moments. Elder Jin was making his way over, and once they joined forces, Zhao Feng would be finished. Thus, he did not need to continue fighting with Zhao Feng.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng gripped the sword with both hands and slashed.


    The gigantic Chaos Origin Divine Sword proceeded with unstoppable momentum, instantly destroying several nearby Ancient Gods. As for Ancient God Blood Eagle, he was affected by Time Intent, preventing him from promptly escaping the range of Zhao Feng''s attack, causing him to be struck by the ripples of energy released by this enormous sword.


    "How could he... be this powerful!?" Ancient God Blood Eagle was ghastly pale. Half of his body had been instantly destroyed, blood pouring out of it.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" Zhao Feng focused his left eye on Ancient God Blood Eagle, a miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword shooting out of it.


    "Ah¡­!" With a scream, Ancient God Blood Eagle''s soul was obliterated.


    The entire battlefield was left stunned. The team led by Ancient God Blood Eagle had been almost completely wiped out by Zhao Feng!


    "No! Zhao Feng, this old man will torture you to death!" A furious roar resounded through the air.


    Elder Jin, his eyes bloodshot, had arrived.


    "Then let''s see if you have that ability." After killing Ancient God Blood Eagle, Zhao Feng did not continue to slaughter the others, instead choosing to directly confront Elder Jin.


    "Good! You''ve finally stopped running! Let this old man bring an end to you!" Elder Jin had a savage expression that seethed with killing intent.


    Boom!


    Elder Jin''s body erupted with frightening flames, and he shot forward like a scorching meteor. At this moment, the area for tens of thousands of li around Zhao Feng was affected by an enormous searing pressure. The average Rank Nine Ancient God would be rendered motionless by this pressure.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng rushed forward, his Chaos Origin Divine Sword increasing in size once more as he slashed at Elder Jin. Boom! Bang!


    Elder Jin swoing a steely fist, blocking Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "Junior, this level of attack has no effect on me!" Elder Jin bellowed as he gripped the Chaos Origin Divine Sword, sending frenzied surges of Divine Power into it so that could pulverize the sword.


    "Is that so?" Zhao Feng chuckled.


    Swish!


    His Lightning Soul Body exploded with lightning. A moment later, countless bolts of Tribulation Lightning traveled from one end of the sword to other, creating a Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!


    Boom! Bang!


    The immense Destructive power of the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword traveled into Elder Jin''s palm. At the same time, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword''s devouring ability also received a massive boost.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng vigorously swung.


    Swish! Plush!


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword cut off Elder Jin''s right hand.


    "Tribulation Lightning power!?" Elder Jin''s expression darkened.


    The already-powerful Chaos Origin Divine Power was even more damaging now that it had been combined with Tribulation Lightning power. Even the defenses of his physical body found it hard to resist.


    "Anyone beneath a God Lord will be exterminated!" Zhao Feng icily stared at Elder Jin.


    These words left everyone stunned and caused an intangible sense of danger to hang over their hearts. Even Elder Jin''s hand had been cut off by Zhao Feng.


    "Good, good! This old man will let you experience the power of a Law!" Elder Jin furiously smiled.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng had the advantage in speed and the power of Chaos Origin Divine Power and Tribulation Lightning. Even Elder Jin found it rather difficult to cope with all this. If he wanted to kill Zhao Feng, he would have to use the power of a Law. Boom!


    Elder Jin''s body suddenly began to exude a strange and unfathomable power. The golden flames on his divine body grew to four times their original size.


    The entire world was awash in golden flames, all other energies suppressed. Even Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Sword was greatly weakened.


    "Boasting child, die!" Elder Jin''s eyes shone with disdain.


    Swish!


    A massive golden saber appeared in his hand and immediately began to burn with dazzling golden flames.


    "Bum to nothing amid endless flame!" Elder Jin bellowed, charging forward as he swung the blazing saber at Zhao Feng.


    This dreadful power had all the Ancient Gods and half-step God Lords quaking in fear. Even the Spiritual Race''s Third Elder seemed helpless.


    Kabooom!


    The endless flames seemed about to engulf Zhao Feng, but suddenly, a profound and mysterious light began to emit from Zhao Feng''s body!


    "You aren''t the only one with a Law!" Zhao Feng barked.


    "How... could this...?" Elder Jin paled.


    At this moment, the world around him had come to a standstill. Even his Flame Law was suppressed, his attack instantly dropping a level.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    At this moment, the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword in Zhao Feng''s hand began to shine with white light. "Die!"


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword imbued with the Time Law slashed down. Everything in the world came to a halt, the sword the only moving object. Elder Jin could only watch, unable to dodge as the sword descended!


    Ding! Plush!


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword slashed at Elder Jin''s chest, cutting open an enormous wound. Blood surged out, which was immediately absorbed by the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword to strengthen its power.


    Its power swelled even more! Another slash!


    Zhao Feng gripped the sword with both hands, sending in all his Chaos Origin Divine Power, and then the sword continued to slash down.


    Swish! Plush!


    The flames dispersed, and Elder Jin''s body was cut in two.

 1424 The Reappearance of the Words of Death

    Chapter 1424 - The Reappearance of the Words of Death Unable to fight back, Elder Jin was cut in two by Zhao Feng''s sword.


    "Ah...!" Elder Jin''s howl of pain resounded over the entire battlefield, causing all the Blazing Gold Race members to stop in shock, their blood freezing.


    On the sub-God-Lord level battlefield, Elder Jin was their highest commander and their strongest expert, but even he had been cut in two by Zhao Feng. Of course, besides Elder Jin, Zhao Feng had also previously killed several half-step God Lords and innumerable Rank Nine and peak Rank Nine experts. The scenes from today were certain to indelibly engrave themselves into their minds.


    "Damn! Zhao Feng, this old man will tear you into pieces...!" Elder Jin said in a pained and resentful voice.


    He had also not expected for himself to lose to a junior. He was a mighty half-step God Lord who had even comprehended a sliver of Law, but he had lost a peak Rank Nine Ancient God.


    Bzzzz! Hwoosh!


    Golden flames erupted from both halves of Elder Jin''s body, and they started connecting as he tried to heal his wounds.


    However, there was a stream of inextinguishable Tribulation Lightning energy that prevented the wound from being healed. Not even Elder Jin could recover from the wound inflicted by Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword in such a short amount of time.


    "There''s no need to heal! Your death is assured!" Zhao Feng said in an icy voice.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Sword thrummed with dreadful pulses of energy. While slashing at Elder Jin, the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword had absorbed a portion of Elder Jin''s energy, further strengthening it.


    "How could it be like this...!?" Elder Jin paled as he sensed death approaching.


    Whoosh!


    His soul rushed out and began to flee into the distance.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng focused, his left eye creating a dreamy abyss. Elder Jin wasn''t able to get far before he felt his soul being sucked in.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng slashed with his Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Swoosh!


    Frozen by the Gaze of the God Eye, Elder Jin''s soul was pierced through by the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword. The attacks of this sword damaged both body and soul, and the powers of Chaos Origin and Tribulation Lightning exploded on Elder Jin''s soul.


    Boom! Bang!


    Less than one second later, Elder Jin''s soul was completely obliterated.


    "No... Elder Jin is dead!"


    "This can''t be real!"


    All the Blazing Gold Race members trembled, their hearts chilling and their faces in disbelief.


    In contrast, the Spiritual Race was invigorated, its members charging forward.


    "Kill! Kill all the Blazing Gold Race members!"


    "Even the Blazing Gold Race''s Elder Jin is dead while we still have Zhao Feng! The Spiritual Race''s victory is certain!''


    The Spiritual Race rallied and launched a counterattack. At this time, Zhao Feng had become the backbone of the Spiritual Race for many of its members.


    Thwish!


    After killing Elder Jin, Zhao Feng shot toward the rest of the Blazing Gold Race army.


    Although Elder Jin was dead, the Spiritual Race had not obtained complete victory and the battle was not completely over. Thus, the killing spree had to continue.


    "Once I kill all the half-step God Lords of the Blazing Gold Race, everything will be over," Zhao Feng muttered. Thwish!


    He left a bloody path in his wake as he unstoppably pressed forward.


    "No, run!"


    "This person is too powerful! Even Elder Jin was killed!"


    All the members of the Blazing Gold Race stared at Zhao Feng like he was a taboo existence that they needed to get away from as quickly as possible.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng''s figure shuttled across the battlefield.


    "Die!" He immediately set his eyes on a half-step God Lord and charged.


    In order to shift the tides of this battle, all he could do was kill all the half-step God Lords on the other side.


    "No...!" The golden-robed elder''s face twisted in fear.


    He put up a desperate struggle, but it was pointless. On this battlefield, Zhao Feng was king, and no one could stop him!


    All the Blazing Gold Race''s felt their legs go soft, and they began to flee.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng easily killed a half-step God Lord. Not long after that, he killed another one.


    He focused only on killing half-step God Lords! This revelation caused the few remaining half-step God Lords on the battlefield to despair, their bodies shivering in terror.


    This unstoppable killing spree had caused the Blazing Gold Race''s fear of Zhao Feng to rise to a whole new level. As the slaughter continued, the entire Blazing Gold Race was on the verge of crumbling from despair.


    The battlefield was filled with the sight of Blazing Gold Race members fleeing in fear.


    Back on the God Lord battlefield, the Blazing Gold Race God Lords were startled.


    "That junior actually killed Elder Jin...?"


    "Half of the upper echelon members of my Blazing Gold Race were killed by that brat!"


    Two of the Blazing Gold Race God Lords were seething with rage.


    "That brat...! I''m going to slice him into little bits!" The Blazing Gold Race Patriarch was the most furious of all. He was ready to rush down into the battlefield to personally kill Zhao Feng. One could say that Zhao Feng alone had ruined their excellent situation.


    "Heh, a mighty Second Heaven God Lord will actually attack a peak Rank Nine junior?" The Spiritual Race Patriarch jeered. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a surge of crystalline water that obscured the skies as it swept toward the Blazing Gold Race Patriarch.


    "I didn''t think that it would be Zhao Feng who would avert the crisis in this war." The Spiritual Race''s Second Elder emotionally sighed. Although he had guessed that Zhao Feng possessed abnormal strength, he had not expected for him to be unstoppable against anyone beneath the God Lord level.


    Whoosh!


    With a fierce sweep of his hand, he unleashed a white crystalline whirlwind that scattered away all the blazing flames in its path.


    "Hmph!" The hunchbacked elder snorted and spread his arms apart, releasing endless golden flames. These flames formed into an endlessly revolving ring of fire that blocked the Second Elder''s attack.


    Whoosh!


    The Second Elder attacked again, one whirlwind of white crystal after another howling forward, imbued with the energy of the world.


    Meanwhile, the hunchbacked elder used defensive skills and golden flames to block every one of the Second Elder''s attacks.


    "Only defending?" The Second Elder noticed this peculiarity about the hunchbacked elder, God Lord Fire Cloud.


    In terms of fighting strength, God Lord Fire Cloud was better than him, but at this time, God Lord Fire Cloud was solely employing defensive techniques. Had the Blazing Gold Race God Lords given up on fighting a decisive battle now that the battle below was settled?


    But at this moment, an elder appeared far back in the distance, his face drab and ugly, his aura sinister. His cultivation was peak Rank Nine. Even more astonishing was that this ugly elder had charged into the God Lord battlefield.


    "Mm?" The three Spiritual Race God Lords appeared confused by this sight.


    As God Lords, they were extremely experienced and perceptive. A peak Rank Nine charging into the God Lord battlefield was utterly suicidal, but that was what made this action so strange and suspicious.


    "The outcome hasn''t been decided yet!" God Lord Fire Cloud savagely laughed, his body exploding with Flame energy. Boom! Bang!


    The energy of two God Lords clashed and neutralized each other in the air.


    At this moment:


    "Kekeke..." The repulsive elder seemed to not fear death, charging at the Spiritual Race''s Second Elder like a moth to the flame.


    A peak Rank Nine charging at a God Lord? How was this not seeking death? Many people found this action very bizarre.


    "Scram!" The Second Elder saw how peculiar this person was and did not dare to let him approach. He almost- subconsciously gathered up a whirlwind of white crystal that he sent sweeping at this ugly old man.


    "Ah!" Struck by the Second Elder''s attack, the repulsive elder was obliterated.


    "Suicide?" The Second Elder was stunned, but then he sensed a chill and immediately reached deep into his soul. For some reason, he had an extremely ill foreboding.


    At the same time, an ancient voice seemed to penetrate through the world; "With my death as the price, kill this person, plunging him into a lethal nightmare of endless withering, endless decline..."


    This is... not good!" The other two God Lords of the Spiritual Race paled. The moment that ugly elder died, they sensed a mysterious and ancient power.


    The Cursed Words of Death! The forbidden art of the Ancient Shaman Race...." The Spiritual Race Patriarch deeply sighed.


    One had to realize that the Ancient Shaman Race was ranked 2nd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Their various strange and mysterious secret arts made even the Ancient Race feel apprehensive.


    A moment later:


    Hisss!


    The Second Elder groaned as he felt an unfathomable and sinister energy wrap around his body and seep into his soul. He instantly felt his body go numb, and then ache, and then bum...


    The Cursed Words of Death set down by the ugly elder was placed on the person who had killed him, and the ugly old man had delivered himself to be killed by the Second Elder. Thus, the Second Elder became the target of the Cursed Words of Death.


    "How is it?" The other two Spiritual Race God Lords anxiously asked.


    The Cursed Words of Death had extremely rigorous requirements. Firstly, the user had to be extremely proficient in the Soul Dao and had to have researched the secret arts of the Ancient Shaman Race. Secondly, death was the price required to activate the Cursed Words of Death. Finally, if the person who died was too weak, the Cursed Words of Death would possess mediocre strength.


    The repulsive elder wasn''t of the Blazing Gold Race and his bloodline was not of a very high level. Logically speaking, the Cursed Words of Death should not have been that strong. But would the Blazing Gold Race execute a plan that they were not sure of?


    The Second Elder was silent. At this moment, he could sense his soul, Divine Power, and cultivation rapidly withering. The Cursed Words of Death set down by the repulsive elder were apparently stronger than imagined.


    "Haha, the Cursed Words of Death are our final move. Once used, they will be able to remove a God Lord''s fighting power for a short period of time!" The Blazing Gold Race Patriarch loudly laughed.


    They did not hope for that ugly elder''s Cursed Words of Death to kill a God Lord, only temporarily make one incapable of fighting.


    "The Cursed Words of Death used by that suicide soldier were strengthened by a broken Shaman Artifact of the


    Ancient Shaman Race!" The old woman appeared to believe that victory was in their hands.


    The Spiritual Race Patriarch had an extremely nasty expression. The Cursed Words of Death were so strong because the Blazing Gold Race had used a damaged Shaman Artifact of the Ancient Shaman Race.


    "Aren''t you still my opponent?" God Lord Fire Cloud wickedly chuckled.


    The three God Lords of the Spiritual Race immediately turned gloomy. Although the Second Elder had not been killed by the Cursed Words of Deaths, his strength and cultivation had rapidly plunged. Right now, the Second Elder could only use seventy to eighty percent of his full strength, and his strength was continuing to drop.


    God Lord battles were extremely vicious. If the Second Elder continued to fight against God Lord Fire Cloud, his defeat was certain, and the Blazing Gold Race only needed to have one extra God Lord for the outcome of this war to be decided.


    In the battlefield down below, both sides still did not know what had happened with the God Lords. The Spiritual Race members were ecstatically charging forward to do battle with the Blazing Gold Race members.


    "That energy just now...?" Zhao Feng turned his gaze to the God Lord battlefield. Just now, he had sensed a mysterious energy that was both familiar and repulsive.


    With his see-through ability, Zhao Feng was able to see everything that was going on with the six God Lords.


    "What happened to the Second Elder?" Zhao Feng noticed that the Second Elder was acting strange. Focusing his eyes, he was gradually able to see through a portion of the Second Elder''s divine body.


    He instantly paled. "The Cursed Words of Death!"

 1425 Fighting Against a God Lord

    Chapter 1425 - Fighting Against a God Lord


    "Kill him!" The Blazing Gold Race Patriarch''s eyes turned harsh.


    Now that the Second Elder''s strength was declining, this was the perfect opportunity to eliminate him. As long as they got rid of one God Lord, the outcome of the war would be decided.


    Not good.... The three Spiritual Race God Lords turned grim as they tried to think of countermeasures.


    But the Blazing Gold Race would not give them the time.


    Boooooom!


    In a flash, an endless sea of golden flames surged toward the three Spiritual Race God Lords.


    Boom! Bang!


    The three Spiritual Race God Lords worked together to defend, but they were still pushed back by the Blazing Gold Race.


    The Second Elder clearly had the worst grimace. He had discovered that every time he used energy, the speed at which his strength declined would accelerate.


    The massive shift on the God Lord battlefield naturally drew attention from down below now.


    "The Blazing Gold Race God Lords have pushed back the Spiritual Race God Lords!"


    "The Spiritual Race''s Second Elder appears to be extremely weak!"


    The Blazing Gold Race members who were on the verge of despair suddenly saw a ray of hope.


    In contrast, the Spiritual Race members were frozen in shock.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Origin Jade was flabbergasted.


    Just when the Spiritual Race believed that victory was theirs, the Blazing Gold Race God Lords used some unknown method to push back the Spiritual Race God Lords. From the look of it, the Second Elder had severe wounds and was seemingly no longer a match for the Blazing Gold Race God Lords.


    "Let''s go and help out the Second Elder!" the Third Elder firmly said.


    The outcome of the God Lord battle was far too important to this battle. Once the Second Elder was defeated, it would all be over.


    The Third Elder''s decision received the approval of the other Spiritual Race members. A defeat could not be permitted on the God Lord battlefield. Moreover, now that the battle of upper echelon members was decided, it was no problem at all to transfer a portion of their forces to the God Lord battlefield. In particular, an expert like Zhao Feng could naturally lend some aid against a God Lord.


    "A bunch of ants sending themselves to their deaths!" God Lord Fire Cloud couldn''t help but sneer.


    "Second Elder, we''ve come to help you!" The Third Elder led ten-some people to the Second Elder''s side.


    Besides the Third Elder, there was another half-step God Lord, and both of them were outstanding half-step God Lords of the Spiritual Race. The rest of the team was made up of peak Rank Nines.


    "Okay!" The Second Elder had a bitter expression.


    "Fire Cloud, kill that brat!" The Blazing Gold Race Patriarch messaged.


    The killing spree Zhao Feng had engaged in down below had alarmed even the God Lords. The Blazing Gold Race Patriarch even wanted to personally kill Zhao Feng. Now that Zhao Feng was participating in the God Lord battle of his own will, this was the perfect chance to kill him.


    "I would have known that even without you telling me." God Lord Fire Cloud wickedly chuckled.


    Boom!


    In a flash, God Lord Fire Cloud''s body began to blaze with light, and he appeared like a golden sun, exuding endless waves of heat. These golden flames swiftly transformed into giant hands that rushed forward.


    The mountain-crushing pressure they exuded made the peak Rank Nines feel like it was difficult to breathe - that their bodies were about to melt.


    The Second Elder and Third Elder stepped forward, exuding weak Law energy to diminish the God Lord pressure. "Celestial Spirit Crystal Sword!"


    With the Third Elder as the center, the other members of the Spiritual Race activated their bloodlines. Crystalline blood of various colors came together into the air, forming a multicolored crystal sword.


    Thwish!


    The crystal sword thrust forward under the control of the Third Elder.


    This was yet another secret bloodline art of the Spiritual Race. By crystallizing the air using their bloodline, the Spiritual Race could not only use defensive techniques like the Celestial Spirit Crystal Fortress, but also offensive techniques like the Celestial Spirit Crystal Sword.


    Boom! Whoosh!


    The multicolored crystal sword, imbued with incredible bloodline energy and Divine Power, stabbed forward, destroying all the giant hands of flame in its path.


    "As expected of secret Spiritual Race bloodline art! Truly unusual." Zhao Feng''s eyes turned solemn.


    The Celestial Spirit Crystal Sword used by the Third Elder could instantly slay a half-step God Lord and pose a threat to a God Lord.


    "Hmph, just an unorganized mob!" God Lord Fire Cloud smiled as a dazzling golden hammer appeared in his hand. The images of beasts had been carved upon it and it exuded a dreadfully oppressive aura.


    Circulating Divine Power, he swung the hammer at the Third Elder''s Celestial Spirit Crystal Sword.


    Ding! Crack!


    A moment later, the multicolored sword was sent flying away, cracking mid-flight.


    "So strong!" The Third Elder''s body trembled as a trickle of blood flowed out from the comer of his mouth.


    The bloodline secret arts of the Spiritual Race were powerful, but to use them against a Blazing Gold Race God Lord was still a difficult proposition.


    As God Lord Fire Cloud fended off the combined attack from the Third Elder''s group, the Second Elder and Zhao Feng launched their own attacks.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A white scimitar appeared in the Second Elder''s hand, and lightly waving it would create countless fierce gales.


    "Crystal Whirlwind!" The Second Elder gathered his bloodline energy and Divine Power into an enormous crystalline blade, which he fired at God Lord Fire Cloud.


    At the same time, the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword in Zhao Feng''s hand swelled with power as he fired off a sword bolt.


    "Hah, a God Lord of greatly reduced strength and a peak Rank Nine think they can do anything to me?" God Lord Fire Cloud waved his golden hammer.


    Waves of flame surged forward, transforming into two enormous beasts that crushed the Second Elder''s blade of white crystal.


    "Time Law!" Zhao Feng immediately got in touch with the Ancestral Artifact fragment so that he could borrow a sliver of Time Law energy.


    Time Intent was extremely powerful among the Intents, and Time Laws were Laws that countered many other Laws.


    Zhao Feng fused the Time Law energy with his Time Intent and sent it off. A moment later, the enormous flame beast charging at him suddenly slowed down.


    Using this chance, Zhao Feng swung around the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword, firing off several more sword bolts.


    Thwish!


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning sword bolts moved with incredible speed, bolstered by the Time Law energy.


    God Lord Fire Cloud never would''ve imagined that Zhao Feng would be able to block his attack. By the time he realized what happened, Zhao Feng''s attack had arrived.


    Ding! Plush!


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning sword bolt landed on God Lord Fire Cloud''s divine body, leaving a pitch-black scorch mark on his dazzling and perfect golden body.


    "Seeking death!" God Lord Fire Cloud''s shame turned into rage, and flames exploded out of his body like he was an erupting volcano.


    Even Zhao Feng wearing the Spacetime Robe felt like his skin was burning.


    Thwish!


    After landing his attack, Zhao Feng began to retreat.


    "This old man will kill you first!" Provoked by Zhao Feng, God Lord Fire Cloud charged toward him.


    Upon seeing this, the Second Elder began to swing his white scimitar again and again. Zhao Feng played an incredibly important role in this battle. He could not be allowed to die like this.


    On the other end:


    "Oh no!" the Third Elder cried out in alarm as he madly circulated his Spiritual Race bloodline. Even more white crystals began to form in the surrounding space. These new crystals flew toward the multicolored crystal sword, repairing the cracks and making it even stronger than before.


    Thwish!


    The sword once more shot toward God Lord Fire Cloud.


    "Damn!" Upon sensing the powerful attacks behind him, God Lord Fire Cloud was forced to stop.


    Although the Second Elder''s strength had declined, he could still use strength far above that of a typical half-step God Lord. And the secret bloodline art used by the Third Elder''s team was even stronger than the attacks of the weakened Second Elder.


    "Since that''s the case, I''ll kill you first!" God Lord Fire Cloud''s face twisted in rage.


    In terms of speed, Zhao Feng was faster than the weakened Second Elder, and the Third Elder''s team was using a secret bloodline art and found it even more difficult to move around.


    "Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast!" God Lord Fire Cloud placed both hands on the golden hammer, pouring in immense amounts of blood and Divine Power. The golden hammer immediately erupted with a roiling cloud of flame.


    As the hammer swung, this massive cloud of flame transformed into a vicious beast of gigantic size.


    Roooooar!


    This flame beast fiercely roared, the sound waves causing the entire world to shake. They even managed to shatter a few of the Second Elder''s attacks.


    Boom!


    After giving its roar, the Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast lunged forward, revealing its fiery teeth as it collided with the attacks of the Second Elder and Third Elder''s team.


    The white blades of energy unleashed by the Second Elder instantly weakened while crystal flakes began to shear off of the multicolored sword.


    In contrast, the Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast only got larger and more powerful.


    Roooooar!


    With a heaven-shaking roar, the Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast shattered all these attacks and continued to charge at the Second Elder and Third Elder.


    "Oh no!" The Third Elder vomited blood, his face paling.


    He was already wounded, and after excessively using the bloodline secret art, his injuries had worsened.


    At this perilous moment, the Second Elder extended a hand, revealing a white pearl, within which was a frozen crystalline vortex.


    Cling! Crack!


    The Second Elder shattered the white pearl.


    At this moment, a mighty Wind Law was mobilized. This caused even the other four God Lords battling in the distance to shoot a glance over.


    Swooosh!


    An enormous tornado of white crystal appeared, possessing such strength that even the Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast was affected.


    Boom!


    The enormous white tornado swept forward, colliding with the Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast, grinding it down with immense Divine Power and Wind Law energy. A moment later, the Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast was crushed into pieces.


    God Lord Fire Cloud grimaced. Although the Second Elder had been weakened, he was still a God Lord, possessing a few trump cards.


    In the face of such a vicious attack, God Lord Fire Cloud was forced to take defensive measures. The flame tattoos on his golden body began to even more brightly dazzle, and his body began to exude a searing pressure.


    Boom! Bang!


    As God Lord Fire Cloud exerted his physical defenses, he also activated his golden hammer. At this moment, his defenses reached their peak.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The tornado arrived, the collision of fire and wind shaking the world. A moment later, a searing flame energy shot into the sky, scattering the Wind Law energy.


    God Lord Fire Cloud emerged. Although there were a few bloodstains on his body, he did not seem severely wounded.


    In the distance, the Second Elder, a trickle of blood flowing from his lips, was compelled to retreat. By activating one of his trump cards in his weakened state, he had caused the weakening to accelerate. He no longer had the strength to fight in a God Lord battle.


    The Third Elder''s team was also extremely weak from using the Spiritual Race bloodline art.


    "Kid, who can save you now?" God Lord Fire Cloud put aside the Second Elder and Third Elder for the moment, setting his eyes on Zhao Feng. After all, the Second Elder and Third Elder were temporarily incapable of fighting.


    Hisssss!


    The searing energy in the air gradually caused all other kinds of Intent energy to vanish. As Wind, Metal, and Lightning Intents became unusable, Zhao Feng''s speed plunged.


    Boom!


    Wreathed in boundless flame, God Lord Fire Cloud charged out from the rear.


    Both the Second Elder and Third Elder could only helplessly watch.


    "Against a God Lord, I don''t have any advantage in speed." Zhao Feng''s eyes sank.


    Seeing that God Lord Fire Cloud was about to catch up, he knew that he could no longer keep hiding his trump cards. Bzzzz!


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng''s body began to exude a layer of white Time energy.

 1426 Defeating a God Lord!

    Chapter 1426 - Defeating a God Lord!


    At this moment, the Time Law energy that Zhao Feng was using grew even stronger. If he used such formidable Time Law energy only to escape, he would truly be letting down the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng suddenly turned around, the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword in his hand swelling with power. "Die!" Gripping the sword with both hands, he slashed.


    At this moment, the pursuing God Lord Fire Cloud felt the restriction of the Time Law and began to slow down in every aspect.


    "That Time Law is even stronger than before. What''s going on with this kid?" God Lord Fire Cloud''s eyes turned grim as he began to take Zhao Feng more seriously.


    As the sword descended with incredible speed, God Lord Fire Cloud hurriedly swung his hammer.


    Clingclang!


    God Lord Fire Cloud succeeded in blocking Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Although Fire Laws were inferior to Time Laws, they were still Laws. Moreover, the Time Law being used by Zhao Feng was not particularly powerful. Thus, God Lord Fire Cloud was still extremely capable of defending himself despite the restraints of the Time Law.


    "Junior, even if you can use a bit of a Time Law, you still can''t defeat me!" God Lord Fire Cloud couldn''t help but laugh.


    Although his sword had been blocked by God Lord Fire Cloud, Zhao Feng was unperturbed, nor did he take back his sword. Rather, he put all his strength into continuing to press down with the sword.


    "Junior, it''s useless... wait! You''re absorbing my energy!" God Lord Fire Cloud chuckled and was preparing to jeer when he suddenly grimaced. He sensed that the bloodline energy and Divine Power that he was exuding was fading away, little by little.


    "Heheh!" Zhao Feng smiled and then immediately retreated.


    His primary goal just now was to absorb God Lord Fire Cloud''s energy. However, the energy of a God Lord was infused with a Law and was rather difficult to absorb, so there was a stalemate for a few moments.


    After Zhao Feng departed:


    Boom!


    A pillar of flame passed through the position he had formerly occupied.


    "This scoundrel...!" God Lord Fire Cloud''s face darkened. He had never before suffered so much at the hands of a junior.


    The Second Elder and Third Elder, who had retreated extremely far away, couldn''t help but be startled by this sight.


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Feng alone would be able to clash with a God Lord for a short while!" The Third Elder sighed in shock.


    Of course, at his peak, he would have also been capable of fighting against God Lord Fire Cloud for a short time, but he would have never been able to emerge unharmed, much less make God Lord Fire Cloud suffer a loss.


    Granted, God Lord Fire Cloud had been through a major battle and was somewhat injured by the Second Elder''s trump card.


    "Just where is Zhao Feng getting this Time Law energy from?" The Second Elder was more concerned about this topic. It was already very difficult to believe that such a young junior had comprehended a Time Law, and Zhao Feng hadn''t even broken into the God Lord level yet.


    The other four God Lords were also left in disbelief by this sight. It was extremely rare for half-step God Lords to contend against God Lords. A peak Rank Nine exchanging blows with a God Lord was simply unheard of.


    "Just what is God Lord Fire Cloud doing?" The Blazing Gold Race Patriarch''s face dimmed. The Second Elder and Third Elder had both lost the ability to fight, and even though God Lord Fire Cloud was now facing only Zhao Feng, he was still incapable of instantly killing him?


    At this moment:


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng and God Lord Fire Cloud clashed once more.


    Because the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword had absorbed some of God Lord Fire Cloud''s Divine Power, it was even stronger and somewhat startled God Lord Fire Cloud.


    "Great! The absorption speed is even faster this time!" Zhao Feng was delighted.


    His Chaos Origin Divine Power also had Fire Intent. After absorbing the energy of a Fire Law once, the second time became much easier.


    "Junior, the energy of a God Lord is very dangerous!" God Lord Fire Cloud growled, a sinister look on his face.


    Boom!


    His entire body exploded with Fire energy like an erupting volcano. Even the Second Elder would have to cautiously deal with this dreadful energy.


    God Lord Fire Cloud was prepared this time and swiftly launched a counterattack.


    The Second Elder and Third Elder felt their hearts leap to their throats at this sight, and they could only hope that Zhao Feng could dodge.


    But to their surprise, Zhao Feng did not even try to dodge.


    "Spacetime Barrier!" Zhao Feng activated the defensive skill of his Spacetime Robe.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    One barrier after another emerged from the Spacetime Robe. In addition, Zhao Feng had applied some Time Law energy, causing the Spacetime Barrier to be even stronger and more capable of defending against and hindering the attack of a God Lord.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng swiftly formed a ring of dark silver around himself.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng had three layers of defense: the Spacetime Barrier, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring, and the Spacetime Robe.


    Bzzzz! Booom!


    The tyrannical flames broke through the Spacetime Barrier.


    The Chaos Heaven Void Ring swiftly began to absorb this energy. Upon absorbing this energy, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring was even able to strengthen its defensive capabilities.


    "This brat...! He actually blocked my attack!?" God Lord Fire Cloud was stunned.


    He originally believed that, even if Zhao Feng tried to dodge, he would have still ended up severely wounded. He never imagined that Zhao Feng would just take the attack head-on.


    At this time, the Spacetime Barrier''s energy was almost spent.


    Boom!


    A moment later, boundless flames collided against the Chaos Heaven Void Ring, eventually breaking through to strike the Spacetime Robe.


    Boom! Bang!


    Although the Spacetime Robe was able to block the damage, the impact of these flames still pushed Zhao Feng back some distance.


    "This attack will send you to the Yellow Springs!" God Lord Fire Cloud roared as he charged forward, not giving Zhao Feng a chance to catch his breath.


    Although Zhao Feng had blocked one attack, he had probably spent all his strength. The second attack would be certain to kill him.


    Boom! Bang!


    God Lord Fire Cloud swung his golden hammer, releasing a cloud of fire from which several vicious beasts of flame emerged.


    "Chaos Origin Conversion!" Unpanicked, Zhao Feng converted the Chaos Heaven Void Ring into several streams of silver that flowed into the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword. The sword became extremely heavy and began to gleam with a fiery radiance.


    He had done all he could to resist God Lord Fire Cloud''s attack so that he could absorb more energy and boost the strength of the already-powerful Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Even God Lord Fire Cloud couldn''t help but tremble upon sensing the sword''s power.


    Boom! Bang!


    With a swing of the sword, the flame beasts were extinguished. The sword then descended upon God Lord Fire Cloud, the endless power contained within it swiftly breaking through God Lord Fire Cloud''s defenses and carrying a gout of golden blood.


    "Ah! How could this be?" God Lord Fire Cloud screamed, a stunned look on his face.


    But a moment later, God Lord Fire Cloud understood. After repeatedly absorbing his energy, Zhao Feng had built up enough power such that his attack was able to shatter God Lord Fire Cloud''s attack and wound his body.


    And wounds inflicted by Tribulation Lightning were not easy to heal.


    "Unforgivable!" God Lord Fire Cloud was enraged and immediately began to bum his blood and Divine Power.


    The golden hammer unleashed yet another cloud of fire. With a swing of the hammer, this massive cloud of flame transformed into a gigantic beast.


    This was God Lord Fire Cloud''s supreme skill, Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast!


    "Zhao Feng, you can rest easy now that you will die to the supreme skill with which I made my name!" God Lord Fire Cloud savagely laughed.


    Even the Second Elder and Third Elder working together had failed to block the Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast. Moreover, Zhao Feng had already spent all the strength of the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword. Even if he used the defensive measure from before, he would find it very difficult to stop this attack.


    Roooooar!


    This flame beast fiercely roared, the sound waves causing the entire world to shake.


    But Zhao Feng fearlessly faced this enormous flame beast.


    Bzzzz!


    Powerful Time Law energy descended upon the Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng activated his left eye.


    "This bloodline energy..." God Lord Fire Cloud was startled.


    At this moment, he sensed an incredibly powerful ancient energy from Zhao Feng''s eyes, close to the top ten ancient races!


    Roooooar!


    The Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast roared, unleashing Fire Law energy to resist the Time Law energy, and then it exploded forward.


    The Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast opened its hellish mouth and seemed on the verge of swallowing Zhao Feng whole.


    God Eye... Illusory Oblivion!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye released dreamy mist that vanished into the surrounding world. The Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast suddenly appeared in his eyes to be made of sparkling and translucent bubbles.


    "Extinguish!" His Origin energy surged as he focused his mind. A moment later, the Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast simply vanished.


    "This... how could this be?" God Lord Fire Cloud almost choked. His supreme skill had simply vanished. This was even more shocking to him than Zhao Feng blocking his attack.


    Everyone in the area, including the four battling God Lords, was dumbstruck. Not even the Second Heaven God Lords could comprehend this sight.


    At this moment, a dreamy silver eye appeared in the sky, exuding a dreadful soul pressure.


    God Eye Duplication: Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast! Zhao Feng called out with his soul, upon which the silver eye began to release a dreamy mist.


    Boom!


    A vicious beast made of flames emerged from the mist. Its target was God Lord Fire Cloud.


    "No...!" God Lord Fire Cloud stood frozen in place as he was swallowed up by the Fire Cloud Heaven-Shattering Beast. Brrrooom!


    The cloud of fire scattered, revealing God Lord Fire Cloud''s scorched and damaged body. Even now, his mind was still rather dazed.


    Suddenly, a powerful Soul energy approached, causing God Lord Fire Cloud''s eyes to flash.


    Thwish!


    A miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword pierced through God Lord Fire Cloud''s soul, causing him to grab his head and howl in pain.


    "Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng swiftly followed up with a slash of the enormous sword in his hands.


    Swoosh!


    Another indelible wound was left on God Lord Fire Cloud''s body.


    God Lord Fire Cloud''s injuries were now extremely severe. Zhao Feng''s attacks were infused with Tribulation Lightning energy and Time Law energy. Tribulation Lightning energy made the wounds difficult to heal while the Time Law dragged the recovery time into infinity. In addition, Zhao Feng''s strange techniques and bloodline energy that approached the top ten ancient races had left him intimidated and fearful.


    "Run!" Without another word, God Lord Fire Cloud transformed into a streak of flame and began to flee.


    But Zhao Feng would naturally not let God Lord Fire Cloud go so easily.


    Thwish! Thwish!


    Two streams of light streaked through the sky, one fleeing and the other pursuing. However, the one fleeing was a God Lord while the pursuer was only a peak Rank Nine!

 1427 The End of the War

    Chapter 1427 - The End of the War


    Two streams of light streaked through the sky, one fleeing and the other was pursuing. The one running was the Blazing Gold Race''s God Lord Fire Cloud while the one pursuing was the Spiritual Race''s peak Rank Nine Zhao Feng.


    When everyone saw this sight, their first reaction was to wonder if they were seeing things. A mighty God Lord was being pursued by a peak Rank Nine?


    "Zhao Feng was this strong?" The Second Elder''s body went stiff, and his face paled in disbelief. Even at his peak, he had not believed he could defeat God Lord Fire Cloud, but Zhao Feng...


    "I didn''t think that, while we were defeated, he alone was able to defeat a God Lord!" The Third Elder shook his head in shock, sighing at his inferiority.


    Ever since Zhao Feng had come to the Spiritual Race, he had time and again displayed shocking cultivation and strength. In just a few decades, he had gone from a True God junior to someone who now surpassed the Third Elder.


    Now that he thought about it, perhaps he really didn''t have the right to take Zhao Feng as a disciple back then.


    Meanwhile, the other two Blazing Gold Race God Lords were even more flabbergasted. They never would''ve imagined that a single peak Rank Nine junior would overturn the situation they had created using the Cursed Words of Deaths.


    "God Lord Fire Cloud, you idiot!" the Blazing Gold Race Patriarch furiously bellowed.


    Such an excellent opportunity had been completely ruined by God Lord Fire Cloud. He was now being chased by a peak Rank Nine and would probably become a laughingstock throughout the entire Ziling Zone.


    "Haha!" The two other Spiritual Race God Lords were constantly laughing, completely surprised by this development.


    This battle was truly hair-raising. Fortunately, in the end, the Spiritual Race didn''t lose.


    Thwish! Thwish!


    God Lord Fire Cloud fled toward the distant horizon, and as he heard the furious roar of the Blazing Gold Race Patriarch, he lowered his head in shame.


    At this moment, God Lord Fire Cloud sensed powerful pulses of Divine Power coming from behind him. Several Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning sword bolts were shooting toward him.


    Ding! Thwish!


    God Lord Fire Cloud did his best to dodge, but he was still struck by two of the sword bolts.


    "Where are you going!?" Zhao Feng roared as he exploded through the air.


    In truth, without using the Time Law, Zhao Feng would have found it very difficult to keep up with God Lord Fire Cloud.


    Even if he did catch up, Zhao Feng wasn''t guaranteed to kill God Lord Fire Cloud. God Lords had extremely tenacious vitality. Moreover, even a God Lord of the same level had to be wary of a last-ditch counterattack from a dying God Lord. If not, both of them could end up dead. And Zhao Feng was only a peak Rank Nine.


    While he was chasing God Lord Fire Cloud, he was not keeping too close. His only goal was to suppress God Lord Fire Cloud and prevent him from catching his breath. Once the Second Elder and Third Elder finished recovering, they could bring an end to this battle.


    "Patriarch, we should retreat, right?" God Lord Fire Cloud built up his courage and messaged the Blazing Gold Race Patriarch.


    "This situation is extremely bad." The other Blazing Gold Race God Lord agreed with God Lord Fire Cloud''s suggestion.


    With God Lord Fire Cloud being chased down by Zhao Feng, the two of them would find it very difficult to fight against the Spiritual Race.


    The Spiritual Race''s Second Elder was recovering from his injuries at this time, and there were several Medicine Dao experts at his side who were thinking of ways to suppress the Words of Death temporarily. Once the Second Elder and Third Elder recovered enough strength, and given that the Spiritual Race had many more half-step God Lords left than the Blazing Gold Race, the Blazing Gold Race would suffer an even greater defeat.


    "Retreat!" The Blazing Gold Race Patriarch, his face twisted in rage, clenched his teeth and bellowed.


    While the green hills lasted, one did not have to worry about lacking firewood to burn.


    "Retreat!" The Blazing Gold Race members down below began a wholesale retreat.


    Thwish!


    God Lord Fire Cloud joined the two other Blazing Gold Race God Lords, the three of them engaging in a fighting retreat.


    "Kill!" the Spiritual Race Patriarch roared.


    The grudge between the Blazing Gold Race and the Spiritual Race was now at the level where one or the other had to die. It was best if they could completely exterminate the Blazing Gold Race, but if not, they would do their utmost to severely wound it and lower the threat it posed.


    Brrrooom!


    The two healthy God Lords of the Spiritual Race led the charge, shaking the world.


    "If we let the Blazing Gold Race go this time, they will definitely be coming back!" The Second Elder''s eyes chilled.


    With the Cursed Words of Death temporarily suppressed and his strength somewhat recovered, he headed back into the fray.


    The Third Elder and the other half-step God Lords and peak Rank Nines also rejoined the battles.


    Down below, the Spiritual Race was in the middle of a full pursuit.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The clash between the two races once more reached a peak.


    In order to protect the remaining members of the Blazing Gold Race, the three God Lords had to stay in the rear to fend off the Spiritual Race upper echelon members.


    The Spiritual Race was technically stronger than the Blazing Gold Race in terms of total strength, but with the three God Lords focusing completely on defense, the Spiritual Race was momentarily unable to do anything to the Blazing Gold Race. After all, the Spiritual Race did not excel at explosive attacks.


    The remaining members of the Blazing Gold Race quickly withdrew.


    "Let''s go!" The Blazing Gold Race Patriarch fiercely glared at the Spiritual Race Patriarch and Zhao Feng one last time before bellowing.


    In order to let the rest of the Blazing Gold Race members retreat, the three God Lords had remained behind to bear the frenzied attacks of the Spiritual Race, suffering significant injuries in the process.


    "Damn! We''re letting them leave just like that?" The Second Elder was somewhat unwilling.


    If he was at his peak, the three Spiritual Race God Lords working together might have been able to severely wound the three enemy God Lords. But now, if the three Blazing Gold Race God Lords put all their focus into running, they would be very hard to stop.


    "Since we can''t deal with all three, let''s focus on only one!" Zhao Feng called out as he focused his left eye on God Lord Fire Cloud.


    "That''s easier said than done. The three of them are working together...." The Second Elder''s gaze darkened.


    The three enemy God Lords were working together to defend as they slowly retreated. Zhao Feng''s plan did not seem plausible.


    Bzzzz!


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s body thrummed with Time Law energy, which slowly flowed into his left eye.


    The Time Law energy Zhao Feng used this time was even stronger than before.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Dreamy mist began to emerge from his left eye, dazzling and gorgeous.


    At this moment, all the Spiritual Race members in the area were stunned by the formidable ancient energy exuded by Zhao Feng''s eye.


    "Spacetime Seal!" Zhao Feng''s Spacetime eye-bloodline technique suddenly fired. A moment later, a strange Spacetime energy descended on God Lord Fire Cloud''s body.


    "Not good...!" God Lord Fire Cloud cried out in panic.


    At this moment, he was engulfed by a powerful Spacetime energy that prevented from using Space Intent. His thinking speed and other aspects were slowed down by Time Intent, and his body clearly began to move much slower. Even those two words were said incredibly slowly.


    With the boost from the Time Law, Zhao Feng''s Spacetime eye-bloodline technique was far more powerful. The heavily injured God Lord Fire Cloud had very little ability to resist.


    "A good chance!" The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race called out in joy.


    They hadn''t expected for Zhao Feng to have such a powerful Spacetime eye-bloodline technique. It was actually able to temporarily restrain even a God Lord and couldn''t be guarded against.


    Of course, this was because God Lord Fire Cloud was heavily injured and much weaker than before.


    "Die!" The Spiritual Race Patriarch swung his saber again and again, covering the sky in blades of blue crystal. "Metal-Shattering Strike!" The Grand Elder''s palm unleashed countless dazzling golden crystals.


    Swooosh!


    The golden crystals were both sharp and fast, piercing through God Lord Fire Cloud''s body.


    Meanwhile, the Second Elder and Third Elder were using their own powerful techniques.


    At this moment, God Lord Fire Cloud was suppressed by Spacetime energy and could not dodge or resist. And no matter how powerful the two remaining God Lords of the Blazing Gold Race were, they could not block the attacks of the entire Spiritual Race. Moreover, they were rather badly injured themselves.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Once the Blazing Gold Race Patriarch and the other God Lord were pushed back, the rest of the attacks directly struck God Lord Fire Cloud.


    "No...!" God Lord Fire Cloud''s face was stricken with fear.


    Not even after being defeated by Zhao Feng was he this afraid because he knew that Zhao Feng could not possibly kill him. But this time was different. This time, he was facing the attacks from many experts of the Spiritual Race.


    Kabooom!


    God Lord Fire Cloud did his utmost to resist the Spacetime energy and activate his defenses. Next to him, one could see the blurry image of a Fire Divine Kingdom.


    "Not good! We can''t save him!" The two Blazing Gold Race God Lords sighed before deciding to retreat.


    "Die!" The saber in the Spiritual Race Patriarch''s hand gleamed with azure radiance as it unleashed a crystalline whirlpool.


    Hwooom!


    The blue whirlpool descended on the heavily injured God Lord Fire Cloud. A few moments later, it crushed his body into nothing.


    Finally, a God Lord had been slain in this battle!


    "Continue the pursuit!" the Spiritual Race God Lords ordered.


    They could not give the Blazing Gold Race a chance to breathe. They would strike the Blazing Gold Race base and crush everything.


    The Spiritual Race army charged toward the Blazing Gold Race territory.


    But before they could get very far, the Spiritual Race members discovered that the Blazing Gold Race army had stopped just up ahead. The aura of a powerful God Lord had appeared in the middle of the Blazing Gold Race army.


    This God Lord was surrounded by light green light. It was an elderly man with black hair and a dark green left eye that seemed like the origin of life.


    "Halt!" The Spiritual Race Patriarch''s face turned grave, and he did not dare to act recklessly... because this God Lord was the Life Sacred Land''s God Lord Verdant Origin.


    "Let''s end this war here. How about it?" God Lord Verdant Origin softly asked.


    "I trust that the Sacred Land knows of the grudge between our two races. If we let the Blazing Gold Race off too lightly today, they will come back in the future." the Spiritual Race Patriarch''s face chilled as he bluntly stated.


    The Blazing Gold Race was silent. If the Spiritual Race continued the chase, it wouldn''t be able to completely wipe the Blazing Gold Race out, but it would still be able to do immense damage.


    "I represent the Life Sacred Land in offering a solution to this conflict between your two races: the Blazing Gold Race will cede half its land and provide an enormous amount of resources in compensation. In exchange, the Spiritual Race will not initiate any invasion of the Blazing Gold Race," God Lord Verdant Origin said, and then he turned to the two patriarchs.


    "What?" The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race grimaced, clearly not very content with this proposal. After all, the Spiritual Race had won a major victory this time. They could sweep over all the Blazing Gold Race''s territory and claim it as their own anyway.


    "Mm?" The two Blazing Gold Race God Lords, however, were only too happy to hear this proposal.


    It clearly favored the Blazing Gold Race. However, from the standpoint of the Life Sacred Land, it was only right and proper. The Spiritual Race would end up greatly wounding itself if it tried to completely occupy the lands of the Blazing Gold Race. The overall strength of the Ziling Zone would fall, tempting other zones into attacking.


    "Patriarch, this proposal isn''t very good...." The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race began to converse.


    "But if we object to this proposal, we''ll find it difficult to completely destroy the Blazing Gold Race while also invoking the displeasure of the Sacred Land...." The Spiritual Race Patriarch hesitated.


    After some more discussion, everyone finally reached an agreement.


    "Okay." The Spiritual Race Patriarch accepted the Life Sacred Land''s proposal.


    Firstly, they would receive quite a large compensation in land and resources, which was not entirely unacceptable.


    Secondly, they were giving face to the Sacred Land, and given that the Spiritual Race was certain to get stronger after the war, they would be able to improve their relationship with the Sacred Land. If they succeeded in forming a relationship, then even if the Blazing Gold Race experienced a revival and came back, the Spiritual Race would have nothing to fear.


    Besides, the Spiritual Race Patriarch did not believe that the Blazing Gold Race would have a chance like this again. At this moment, the Spiritual Race had one more God Lord than the Blazing Gold Race, and they also had peerless geniuses like Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng.


    Finally, they had simply suffered fewer losses in the war. The chances the Blazing Gold Race would get its revenge were too low. The matter was settled!

 1428 Undoing the Curse

    Chapter 1428 - Undoing the Curse


    Under the will of the Sacred Land, the two races stopped their war and decided to make peace. As for the specific details of the peace treaty, those would have to be hashed out at a later date.


    "God Lord Verdant Origin, does the Sacred Land have a way to undo the Cursed Words of Death?" the Spiritual Race Patriarch called out to God Lord Verdant Origin, who was preparing to leave.


    The Ancient Shaman Race was the 2nd ranked forbidden race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. All of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races knew of just how terrifying its many secret arts were.


    The Second Elder was still under the effects of the Cursed Words of Death. Although the Spiritual Race had ways of temporarily suppressing it, they could not completely remove it. This meant that, while the Second Elder could survive, his strength, cultivation, and other aspects would slowly fade.


    "The Cursed Words of Death?" God Lord Verdant Origin turned solemn as he focused his pair of dark green eyes on the Second Elder. A moment later, pure Life energy flowed into the Second Elder''s body.


    The Second Elder felt like various small injuries on his divine body were immediately healed while even major injuries were rapidly recovering. At the same time, he sensed that the corrosive effect of the Words of Death had suddenly slowed down.


    Suddenly, God Lord Verdant Origin ceased the activation of his Eyes of Life.


    "It''s no good." God Lord Verdant Origin shook his head.


    The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race were somewhat disappointed, though they had expected this conclusion.


    "If the Lord Life God himself took action, the Cursed Words of Death could definitely be removed. Other God Kings might also be able to do it...." God Lord Verdant Origin added.


    "The Life God!" The Spiritual Race members were shaken, a look of yearning appearing on their faces.


    The Life God was the holder of the Life God Eye, one of the Gods of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Everyone was completely sure that he had a way of undoing the Cursed Words of Deaths.


    But they didn''t even know if the Life God was at the Life Sacred Land, much less if they could pay the price for requesting the aid of a God.


    "Heheh!" The Blazing Gold Race Patriarch coldly laughed.


    Their Blazing Gold Race had lost a God Lord, but even though the Spiritual Race''s Second Elder wasn''t dead, he had basically lost all potential and would be slowly ground down by the curse.


    The war between the two races had ultimately been won by the Spiritual Race. Now that the war was over, both sides entered a period of rest and recuperation.


    The two races had fought over a vast area, causing innumerable losses and casualties. The Spiritual Race''s first priority was to reconsolidate its administration over the factions within its territory. In addition, the Spiritual Race had gained half of the Blazing Gold Race''s territory, so they needed to take control over the factions in this land and reconsolidate them.


    While the two races were reconsolidating, the glorious feats and achievements of those who had participated in this war began to spread. Quite a few people who had once been completely unknown ended up becoming renowned through this war. Even more people obtained some lucky opportunity or comprehended some principle through the war and rapidly broke through into new levels.


    But the one with the most resounding reputation was naturally Zhao Feng. He had killed countless members of the Blazing Gold Race''s upper echelon, killed its strongest half-step God Lord, and had even defeated God Lord Fire Cloud, reversing the entire battle.


    Each of these glorious feats was extremely difficult to pull off, but Zhao Feng had singlehandedly achieved all of them.


    Given Zhao Feng''s past feats, he was now one of the most focused-on figures in the Ziling Zone. And his demeanor and appearance made him the idol of countless young women in the Ziling Zone.


    Upon returning to the Spiritual Race, he was welcomed by a noble and gorgeous woman dressed in purple robes. "Brother Feng, you''re back!" Zhao Yufei charmingly smiled, a loving look in her eyes as she embraced him.


    In truth, Zhao Feng returned to the Spiritual Race long ago, but the two never had a chance to meet.


    This soft and warm feeling of embracing caused Zhao Feng''s heart to inexplicably thump, and he gently smiled.


    The two of them went to Zhao Feng''s residence.


    Yufei, I didn''t think that you would obtain the legacy of the God Martial Race!" Zhao Feng was extremely glad.


    Although he didn''t know what the legacy Zhao Yufei obtained exactly was, in these ten-some years, Zhao Yufei had gone from Rank Seven to peak Rank Eight. She was now extremely close to Rank Nine.


    Zhao Feng came to learn that Zhao Yufei had not only obtained the legacy of the God Martial Race''s techniques, but also a Divine Kingdom of the God Martial Race. Within this Divine Kingdom, cultivating combat skills, comprehending Intents, and raising one''s cultivation level were all more efficient.


    This cultivation Divine Kingdom was also like the Spacetime Robe in that it provided more time to cultivate.


    In addition, Zhao Yufei had obtained quite a few treasures that could raise her mental abilities and comprehension abilities.


    One month after the war, the Spiritual Race returned to normal operation. It began the process of honoring and rewarding those in the Spiritual Race who had made outstanding achievements on the battlefield.


    As expected, Zhao Feng''s achievements were kept for last.


    "Zhao Feng, in this war between the two races, killed twelve half-step God Lords, including the Blazing Gold Race''s Elder Jin and several other powerful half-step God Lords. Afterward, he joined in the fight against God Lord Fire Cloud and was able to singlehandedly defeat him. In the final pursuit, he performed an outstanding feat in hindering God Lord Fire Cloud and contributing to his demise." Even the Second Elder was rather shocked after he announced all the achievements.


    In truth, Zhao Feng had also killed many peak Rank Nine and regular Rank Nine Ancient Gods, and he had also breached many enemy strongholds. However, since the list of achievements was far too long, they decided to only mention the important ones.


    Countless members stared at Zhao Feng in admiration and envy.


    With regard to his rewards, Zhao Feng was promoted to Elder and was now able to enjoy many special rights and privileges. He was also given many expensive resources and a large number of contribution points.


    At the start, Zhao Feng wasn''t that interested in the rewards or contribution points he could get from the war. But after the war, the spoils and contribution points Zhao Feng had accumulated obtained his interest.


    After killing twelve half-step God Lords, Zhao Feng had obtained ten supreme-quality divine artifacts and innumerable high-quality ones. He also had many resources, medicines, precious treasures, and his interspatial dimension was practically stuffed.


    Fortunately, Zhao Feng had the Black Destruction Dragon and the group in the Ancient Dream Realm, allowing him to successfully handle all the resources and treasures that he had no use for.


    After organizing everything, Zhao Feng entered secluded cultivation.


    Zhao Feng had used almost every technique available to him in this war and had even dueled with a God Lord. He had come away with a great harvest.


    After taking several cultivation resources, Zhao Feng began to cultivate.


    After using the Time Law multiple times, he had gained an even deeper understanding of time, allowing his Time Intent to directly break into Level Eight.


    The other Intents all had significant boosts as well. Only his Space Intent remained at the peak of Level Eight.


    "It seems like reaching Level Nine Intent isn''t that easy." Zhao Feng was not too anxious to advance.


    Although he said that it wasn''t that easy, his Space Intent was actually extremely close to Level Nine. Once he reached Level Nine, Zhao Feng would be able to call himself a half-step God Lord.


    While cultivating Intents, Zhao Feng was also comprehending Chaos Origin combat skills and modifying his eye- bloodline techniques.


    "Oh? My Origin energy has apparently gotten even purer!" Zhao Feng sensed that the Origin energy in his God''s Spiritual Eye had become even more refined.


    Sending his mind into the God Eye Dimension, he saw that the dreamy silver ball was slowly revolving.


    But Zhao Feng noticed something strange. He recalled that the lines forming the image of an eye on the dreamy silver ball were only just glowing, but now, the lines were a dreamy color just like the rest of the ball and appeared abnormally dazzling and striking.


    This dreamy color had essentially dyed every part of the eye image. Only a very small portion of a line still retained the original color.


    "Just what does this mean?" Zhao Feng was both confused and expectant.


    The abilities of the God''s Spiritual Eye could be described as extremely heaven-defying. When using Origin energy, it could even turn dreams into reality, turning the impossible into the possible.


    "I need to study just how to properly use the Origin energy of the God''s Spiritual Eye!" Suddenly, Zhao Feng thought of an excellent research subject.


    Later that day, Zhao Feng went to find the Second Elder.


    "Might I ask what the condition of the Words of Death within the Second Elder''s body is?" Zhao Feng asked in concern.


    "Alas, although it''s suppressed for now, there''s still nothing that can be done about it!" the Second Elder bemoaned. He had no need to hide this from Zhao Feng.


    "Right, in a little while, the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods will be holding a large auction. If you need anything, you can go and check it out," the Second Elder recalled something and said.


    Divine Kingdom Trading Ring? This was the first time Zhao Feng had ever heard of this, but he did not press further. He had come to visit this time for another matter.


    "Second Elder, can I take a look at the Cursed Words of Death in your body?" Zhao Feng changed the subject.


    His goal was precisely to use the Cursed Words of Death for an experiment. In addition, he could use this chance to undo the Cursed Words of Death!


    "You have a way of interacting with the Cursed Words of Death?" The Second Elder stared in shock at Zhao Feng. Since Zhao Feng had randomly brought it up, he naturally began to think along this line.


    But now that he thought about it, it seemed impossible.


    "I will not hide it from Sir; in the past, this junior also suffered from this curse and was only able to cast if off through possession and rebirth. Even so, this junior still has some understanding of the Cursed Words of Death." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    When the Second Elder heard that Zhao Feng had also suffered from the Words of Death, he became a little excited, but then he calmed back down. Possession and rebirth was not a good solution and could not be used by the Second Elder.


    "Okay, I''ll let you try," the Second Elder agreed.


    Zhao Feng had suffered from the Words of Death before, so he definitely had some understanding of it, and the Second Elder still clung to a thin thread of hope.


    The Second Elder seated himself within a secret chamber. Zhao Feng activated his left eye and peered through the Second Elder''s divine body.


    Just where does this child''s eye-bloodline come from? the Second Elder couldn''t help but wonder as he sensed the indistinct energy from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng was completely focused on observing the Cursed Words of Death in the Second Elder''s body.


    An almost undetectable black thread had spread throughout the Second Elder''s body. Zhao Feng also discovered that there was an immense energy suppressing this black thread, preventing it from causing any further corrosion.


    I wonder if the abilities of my God''s Spiritual Eye are effective against the Cursed Words of Death! Zhao Feng couldn''t help but get a little excited.


    The Words of Death were so terrifying that even the number one Ancient Race had feared them. The methods of undoing this curse were extremely limited and harsh.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye focused on a small part of the black thread in the Second Elder''s body. This black thread was extremely thin. If Zhao Feng wasn''t using the God''s Spiritual Eye, he probably wouldn''t have noticed it.


    Disappear... disappear! Zhao Feng activated his Origin energy as he focused his mind on this thought.


    Bzzzz!


    The dreamy silver ball in the God Eye Dimension gave a jolt, and then dreamy mist began to vanish into the world. In a flash, that thin black threat was covered by a dreamy luster in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    A moment later, that tiny piece of black thread disappeared. More and more pieces of black thread began to vanish, but the Origin energy of the God''s Spiritual Eye also began to rapidly fade.


    In comparison to the black thread that seemed to extend endlessly through the Second Elder''s body, the disappearance of a few portions was almost negligible. But as a God Lord, the Second Elder could keenly sense even the subtlest changes in his body.


    The moment he felt a small part of his divine body had been relieved of a burden, its vitality reigniting, his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

 1429 Divine Kingdom Trading Ring

    Chapter 1429 - Divine Kingdom Trading Ring "Success!" Zhao Feng rejoiced.


    He didn''t expect for his God''s Spiritual Eye to be capable of even wiping out the power of the Cursed Words of Death. One had to realize that even the Ancient Race of the Ancient Era had feared the power of the Cursed Words of Death. This was even more proof that the God''s Spiritual Eye was special and abnormal.


    "Zhao Feng, what did you do just now?" the Second Elder asked in excitement.


    Even God Lords were only capable of helping him suppress the power of the Cursed Words of Death, but they were still helpless in actually getting rid of it. But just now, an extremely small part of the Cursed Words of Death in his body had been wiped away. The Second Elder was absolutely sure that this was Zhao Feng''s doing.


    But after asking this question, the Second Elder immediately felt that he was rather impudent. One could easily imagine how precious a method to deal with the Cursed Words of Death was. How could Zhao Feng possibly be willing to explain it so easily?


    Moreover, Zhao Feng was no longer some junior but a genius who could defeat a God Lord. Zhao Feng''s current level of strength was equal to a typical God Lord, and he still had enormous potential that could not be underestimated.


    "Zhao Feng, do you have a means of undoing the Cursed Words of Death in my body?" the Second Elder somewhat calmed down before asking with a smile.


    "The Cursed Words of Death are too difficult to deal with. Even when I used all my strength just now, I was only able to remove an extremely small part." Zhao Feng slightly shook his head, revealing an exhausted expression.


    In truth, eliminating that tiny portion of the Cursed Words of Death had not consumed that much energy. However, if this matter got out, it would probably create an enormous stir, so it was best to conceal as much as possible.


    Thus, Zhao Feng did not give a firm reply to the Second Elder''s question. If Zhao Feng directly said that he had the ability to do it, he would shock far too many people.


    "It''s fine. You''ve already done your best!" The Second Elder faintly smiled. He didn''t have any hope before, but since Zhao Feng didn''t say that it was impossible, this was proof that there was still a sliver of hope.


    The Second Elder was already satisfied with this answer. Even if Zhao Feng ultimately failed to completely undo the Cursed Words of Death, he could definitely weaken it, which would lessen the suffering the Cursed Words of Death inflicted on the Second Elder.


    "This junior will bid farewell. After some more research and preparation, I will come to visit Elder again." Zhao Feng said goodbye to the Second Elder.


    Upon returning to his residence, Zhao Feng had no intention of researching anything. Instead, he entered secluded cultivation.


    After the war, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Heaven Void Ring had already been well-tempered and possessed formidable defensive capabilities.


    "Once I reach the fifth level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring can evolve into another powerful combat skill: Chaos Heaven Black Hole!" Zhao Feng was rather anticipating this.


    The Chaos Heaven Black Hole was on a whole different level of power compared to the Chaos Heaven Void Ring, and it could even be described as a God Lord combat skill. The Chaos Heaven Black Hole, once formed, could devour all things, attacking and defending at once!


    Zhao Feng only slightly familiarized himself with the details at this time and did not actually begin to cultivate.


    One month later, he once more paid a visit to the Second Elder''s residence.


    The Second Elder had apparently been anticipating his visit and came to welcome him at the door.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re finally here. Has there been any progress in your research on the Cursed Words of Death?" The Second Elder smiled.


    "Mm. There has been some progress, which is why this junior rushed over," Zhao Feng solemnly said.


    The two went to the secret chamber. Zhao Wang activated the God''s Spiritual Eye and observed the state of the Cursed Words of Death in the Second Elder''s body.


    This time, he did not rush to wipe away the power of the Cursed Words of Death and instead carefully observed it.


    Zhao Feng was well aware of just how terrifying the Cursed Words of Death were. Now that he was at a high enough level, he naturally had to study this energy well so that he could prevent himself from being struck by it in the future.


    Eh? The Cursed Words of Death have a very unique state of existence, a little similar to my power to turn dream into reality! Zhao Feng suddenly noticed this point after a long period of observation.


    The God''s Spiritual Eye''s ability to turn dream into reality was extremely mysterious. It was not a physical or spiritual attack, but more like a sort of thought power. Thus, normal people found it difficult to understand and even more difficult to stop or interfere with.


    The Cursed Words of Death were similar, but this energy was clearly of a much lower level than the energy that turned dreams into reality.


    "Zhao Feng, what''s the situation?" the Second Elder couldn''t help but ask.


    Last time, Zhao Feng had very quickly removed a small portion of the Cursed Words of Death in his body, but this time, there was no reaction despite all the time that had passed.


    "No hurry," Zhao Feng called out. After observing for a little longer, he once more used his Origin energy to wipe away a small portion of the Cursed Words of Death. He then put on an exhausted expression and prepared to leave.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve put great effort into this old man''s Cursed Words of Death. This is a small gift from this old man. Please take it!" The Second Elder took out an interspatial dimension.


    Zhao Feng did not stand on ceremony, taking it and sending in his Divine Sense.


    So many high-quality God Crystals! At least two hundred thousand! Zhao Feng''s face froze.


    One high-quality God Crystal was equivalent to ten thousand low-quality God Crystals, and the Second Elder had given him two hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals at once. One had to realize that the entire property of a Rank Nine Ancient God might only amount to one hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals.


    Of course, Zhao Feng possessed such fortune that he naturally wouldn''t care that much about two hundred thousand God Crystals.


    Besides the two hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals, there was also a supreme-quality divine artifact of rather different quality and cultivation resources for several Intents.


    The Second Elder knew that Zhao Feng cultivated the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, so he had gifted him cultivation resources for various kinds of Intent.


    "Right, do you have any interest in the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring being held one year from now?" the Second Elder asked.


    "Divine Kingdom Trading Ring?" Zhao Feng remembered that the Second Elder had brought this up last time, but he was concerned about other matters at the time and did not ask any further questions about it.


    Seeing Zhao Feng''s confused look, the Second Elder remembered that Zhao Feng had only become an Ancient God ten-some years ago and probably did not understand what the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring was.


    "The Divine Kingdom Trading Ring is the high-end trading ring run by the number one commercial faction of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Only Ancient Gods have the right to enter it," the Second Elder explained to Zhao Feng.


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was vast, and there were numerous commercial factions. But the faction that operated the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring was hailed as the number one commercial faction, possessing a strength and resources that could not be underestimated.


    "Within the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring, an auction will be held every twenty years. It''s said that the auction this time will be of unprecedented grandeur, with many extinct resources from the Ancient Era. There will also be treasures that can allow one to become a God Lord, and even unique treasures from powerful races of the Ancient Era. There''s even a rumor that an Ancestral Artifact fragment will show up!" The Second Elder''s tone became rather excited.


    "What? A treasure that can allow one to become a God Lord? Ancestral Artifact fragment?" Zhao Feng was elated, and then he was stunned.


    He himself had an Ancestral Artifact fragment, so he naturally understood just how valuable such a thing was. And the auction within the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring would actually have an Ancestral Artifact fragment?


    "That''s right! The Divine Kingdom Trading Ring is a high-class marketplace in the central region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but because an Ancestral Artifact fragment might appear, even the God Lords from other zones are going." The Second Elder had a look of yearning.


    The highest-class divine weapons in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were not supreme-quality divine artifacts, but the paramount Ancestral Artifacts. But Ancestral Artifacts were only a legend, as rare as the Eight Great God Eyes and God Kings.


    Ancestral Artifact fragments were a tiny bit more realistic. If a God Lord could obtain an Ancestral Artifact fragment, they could sweep through opponents of the same level and stand out among their peers.


    "Mm, when the time comes, I''ll take a look!" Zhao Feng immediately developed an interest in this Divine Kingdom Trading Ring.


    On top of everything else, in the war, he had accumulated a giant pile of things that he didn''t really need. At the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring, he could sell or auction them off.


    Similarly, a high-class marketplace like the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring would probably have all kinds of treasures, and Zhao Feng would be able to purchase what he required.


    Finally, Zhao Feng was currently worried about his future attempt in breaking into the God Lord level. The process of going from Ancient God to God Lord was at least one hundred times more difficult, perhaps even a thousand times, than going from True God to Ancient God. There were even some half-step God Lords who would spend a hundred million years preparing for that step but would still end up failing.


    And if one failed at becoming a God Lord, severe damage would be dealt to one''s Divine Stages, with even complete destruction rather commonplace. In the best case, only one Divine Stage would shatter, but in a serious case, all nine Divine Stages would be destroyed, and then one would truly have to start from the beginning. Once Zhao Feng learned all this, he began to regard the matter with utmost importance.


    And the Second Elder had mentioned that in the auction being held in the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring next year, a treasure that could help one become a God Lord would appear. How could Zhao Feng let such an opportunity pass by?


    In the following period, he would come at set intervals to the Second Elder to undo a part of the Cursed Words of Death. Eight months later, only fifty percent of the Cursed Words of Death energy remained in the Second Elder''s body.


    With his God Lord energy, he could easily suppress the remaining energy. And if Zhao Feng had the time to slowly wipe it all away, that was fine too.


    "Zhao Feng, you could be considered the person I most revere in my entire life! Haha!" The Second Elder loudly laughed.


    On the battlefield, if Zhao Feng had not defeated God Lord Fire Cloud, the Second Elder might have been killed, and now, Zhao Feng had saved his life again by undoing a part of the Cursed Words of Death in his body.


    "It''s nothing like that. Nothing!" Zhao Feng politely replied.


    He had saved the Second Elder''s life twice and made him incredibly grateful. The Second Elder essentially owed him a favor. At a crucial moment, the favor of a God Lord might prove very useful.


    The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race kept the matter of Zhao Feng undoing the Cursed Words of Death an absolute secret. And over the last year, Zhao Feng and the Second Elder had become incredibly close.


    All this combined meant that Zhao Feng was the number one person of the Spiritual Race beneath the three God Lords.


    "Zhao Feng, the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring''s auction will be held in a few months. You should prepare some God Crystals. Don''t end up missing out on something and regretting it for your entire life!" the Second Elder teased.


    Even the wealthiest person would find themselves lacking in God Crystals once they entered the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring.


    Several months later, Zhao Feng accompanied the Second Elder and prepared to head for the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring. Accompanying them were Zhao Yufei and a few of the older Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race.


    Half a month later, the group arrived at the Life Sacred Land. An entrance to the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring had been set up at the Sacred Land of each zone.


    "The entry fee is ten thousand high-quality God Crystals." The attendant from the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring gave an amiable smile.


    Ten thousand high-quality God Crystals!? Zhao Feng couldn''t help but gasp.


    One needed to be an Ancient God to enter the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring, but some ordinary Rank Seven Ancient Gods could sell off everything they owned and still not be able to scrape together ten thousand high-quality God Crystals.

 1430 The Auction Begins

    Chapter 1430 - The Auction Begins


    The Divine Kingdom Trading Ring''s entry fee was ten thousand high-quality God Crystals, which meant that, even if a typical Rank Seven Ancient God bankrupted themselves, even selling off their own bodies, they still wouldn''t be able to get inside.


    Moreover, the items auctioned here were all high-class items, easily exceeding one hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals in value. Even if an ordinary Ancient God could get in, they would only be able to watch and not buy.


    Once the Spiritual Race party paid the entry fees, it entered through a gray-white stone door into an independent Divine Kingdom.


    Before their eyes was a refined land of mountains and rivers. Opulent buildings in a variety of styles had been set up everywhere.


    Although the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring had an exorbitant entry fee, it was still bustling and crowded. The majority of the crowd was Rank Nine Ancient Gods. Rank Eights were an extreme rarity while Rank Seven Ancient Gods were almost nonexistent.


    "There seem to be more people in the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring than usual." The Second Elder sighed. He had come here many times and was familiar with the situation.


    "Spiritual Race God Lord!" The arrival of the Spiritual Race was a shock to the surrounding crowds.


    "I hear that the Spiritual Race and Blazing Gold Race of the Ziling Zone got into a major war, and it was the Spiritual Race that emerged victorious in the end. It probably won''t be long before the Spiritual Race becomes the number one five-star faction of the Ziling Zone!"


    "That''s not right. I heard that the Spiritual Race''s Second Elder was inflicted with the Cursed Words of Death. They''ve probably come here to find a method to undo it."


    "Did you hear? The Spiritual Race was able to win because a peak Rank Nine junior called Zhao Feng managed to reverse the tides and heavily injure a God Lord!"


    "You''re joking! A peak Rank Nine wouldn''t even be able to last one blow against a God Lord."


    Recently, the war between the Spiritual Race and the Blazing Gold Race wasn''t just a hot topic in the Ziling Zone, but in the nearby zones as well.


    Quite a few people turned to stare at Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.


    There are still three days until the auction will be held. Until then, all of you can take a look around," the Second Elder said to the Spiritual Race party. After saying this, the Second Elder left.


    The other members of the Spiritual Race swiftly went off to carry out their own business.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat rushed out of the interspatial dimension, wildly gesturing with its paws to say that there were many treasures in this place.


    Yufei, you obtained the legacy of the God Martial Race and are the number one core disciple of the Spiritual Race, so you shouldn''t be lacking for much, right?" Zhao Feng inquired.


    "I''m not lacking for anything right now. I''m just interested in this place. Perhaps I might run into something that I need or like!" Zhao Yufei giggled and then gripped Zhao Feng''s arm.


    "Let''s go to the auction grounds and take a look first," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.


    The Divine Kingdom Trading Ring was actually constantly in operation. Here, one could trade for almost anything, including arts, legacies, natural treasures, pets, and mounts. But normally, very few people would pay the enormous entry fee. Only during an auction would this place appear to be so thriving.


    Zhao Feng had accumulated many treasures, divine weapons, and natural resources, all of which he could dispose of through the auction.


    The most renowned auction house in this Divine Kingdom was a gorgeous palace of violet gold that soared into the clouds. Upon entering, Zhao Feng entrusted them all the extra supreme-quality divine artifacts and resources that he had.


    "Guest, based on the objects you have entrusted to us, you can enjoy the seats in the auction house meant for guests of honor!" a charming woman smiled and said.


    The guests of honor were seated in their own rooms, and outsiders would not be able to see inside.


    Zhao Feng was rather surprised. The items that he had entrusted were not too valuable. It seemed that it was their quantity that allowed him to enjoy the treatment of an honored guest.


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei left the auction house.


    Two other figures walked out from another entrance.


    "Milord, why are we auctioning off such precious objects?" a straight-backed man with dark and ghostly eyes whispered. The items they had put up for auction were all important experimental results from factions similar to the Heavenly Demon Hall.


    "Hmph, what''s the point in leaving behind such worthless things?" A white-haired elder coldly snorted.


    "That¡¯s¡­Zhao Feng!¡¯_ The man with gloomy eyes suddenly saw something and couldn''t help but blurt out.


    "Ancient God Nether Spring...?" Zhao Feng was surprised. He hadn''t expected to run into the Heavenly Demon Hall''s Ancient God Nether Spring at the auction house.


    And the person next to Ancient God Nether Spring was none other than the man who had directly moved away the Heavenly Demon Hall, God Lord Heavenly Solitude.


    At the time, God Lord Heavenly Solitude left an extremely deep impression on him, and this time, Zhao Feng realized that he still couldn''t see through this man.


    Thwish!


    The little thieving cat instantly shot back into the interspatial dimension.


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s eyes flashed, and then he turned to Zhao Feng with a hint of killing intent. Back then, Zhao Feng had snatched the Heaven''s Legacy Cat from under his nose, leaving him furious.


    "Milord, this is the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring!" Ancient God Nether Spring messaged.


    Fighting was forbidden in the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring. The operator of the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring was on the same level as a Sacred Land, and it also had extremely close relationships with many Sacred Lands, making it an incredibly intimidating force. Even a God Lord would be heavily punished if they dared to brazenly start a fight.


    "Junior, if you hand over that cat, we won''t come to find trouble in the future!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude slowly said.


    You''re talking about the Heaven''s Legacy Cat?" Zhao Feng smiled as he cut straight to the point.


    "Since you already know, then state your price and give the Heaven''s Legacy Cat to me." God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s gaze darkened as he suddenly dropped his voice.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Cat was one of the highest secrets of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, but that didn''t mean that no one knew about it. The Divine Kingdom Trading Ring was a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. If other God Lords knew about the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, it would cause even more problems.


    He was confident that if he offered a tempting enough price, Zhao Feng would definitely hand over the "hot potato" that was the Heaven''s Legacy Cat.


    "One hundred million supreme-quality God Crystals!" Zhao Feng chortled.


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude and Ancient God Nether Spring were instantly struck dumb.


    "Good! Zhao Feng, you will regret this!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s face chilled as he took Ancient God Nether Spring with him and left.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, supreme-quality God Crystals were much rarer than supreme-quality divine artifacts. It was so bad that even a typical God Lord would only possess a few damaged supreme-quality God Crystals.


    Not even one million high-quality God Crystals would be enough to exchange for a complete supreme-quality God Crystal. One hundred million supreme-quality God Crystals was not something that even the wealthiest God Realm Sacred Land in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods could produce. By stating such an astronomical price, Zhao Feng was clearly indicating that he wasn''t selling.


    "Have someone keep a close eye on Zhao Feng. Inform me the moment he leaves the Spiritual Race!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude messaged Ancient God Nether Spring.


    In truth, God Lord Heavenly Solitude had been tracking Zhao Feng since the moment he returned to the Ziling Zone. However, the Blazing Gold Race began a war with the Spiritual Race, and the Life Sacred Land was observing everything from above, so he naturally couldn''t take action.


    "Yes!" Ancient God Nether Spring''s eyes gleamed.


    He had not expected for Zhao Feng''s cultivation level to exceed his in just a few short decades. However, Zhao Feng had offended the Heavenly Demon Hall and the faction behind it. He was doomed!


    "Brother Feng? Who were those two people?" Zhao Yufei asked in concern. That God Lord was unfathomable, and Zhao Yufei was rather worried that Zhao Feng had managed to somehow offend such a dreadful existence.


    "They want to steal the little thieving cat." Zhao Feng wasn''t sure about their background, so this was all he said.


    Zhao Yufei naturally knew about the little thieving cat, and from the conversation just now, she also understood the little thieving cat''s true identity: a Heaven''s Legacy Cat. Anything that could earn a God Lord''s attention had to be extremely precious.


    Meow!


    The little thieving cat immediately jumped back out, raising its head and straightening its chest, bragging that it was a priceless treasure.


    The pair spent the rest of their time strolling around the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring. Zhao Feng bought quite a few Intent cultivation resources.


    They also paid a visit to the "clearance section." The objects here were of uneven quality and were kept in a more disorderly condition. Many of the objects were just inferior products added to make up the number. But with the God''s Spiritual Eye and the little thieving cat''s abilities, the two of them were able to find a few rather valuable objects.


    Three days later, the auction was on the verge of beginning.


    A handsome young man with dreamy silver hair and a gorgeous woman with crystalline skin and wearing a violet gown entered the auction house, immediately attracting countless gazes. This pair was naturally Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.


    The two of them entered the area set aside for high-class guests of honor, escaping from the eyes of the crowd.


    One hour later, the auction formally began. The auction house became pitch-black, and then the round auction stage in the center began to exude a dazzling radiance.


    Although it was pitch-black, Zhao Feng could sense the energies of many God Lords in the massive auction house, some of them even approaching the level of the Spiritual Race Patriarch.


    A white-clothed half-step God Lord elder appeared on the stage. At his side was a beautiful Rank Nine Ancient God woman.


    "The Divine Kingdom Auction is now open!" The white-robed elder faintly smiled as his loud and bright voice resounded through the hall.


    The beautiful woman next to him took out a jade box from an interspatial dimension and opened it. Inside were transparent green fruits that emitted thick ripples of Divine Power.


    "Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit! It contains immense amounts of pure Divine Power that can greatly boost the cultivation of an Ancient God. It is of great use to any Ancient God below peak Rank Nine. In addition, the Divine Power obtained is extremely refined and will not cause anything like an unstable foundation!" The white-robed elder gave a thorough introduction.


    Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit was an extremely high-quality resource. Moreover, since it was a resource that could help a cultivator break through, there were many people who wanted it.


    The eyes of almost all the Rank Nine Ancient Gods present flashed. Quite a few God Lords were also interested in this treasure. Perhaps it was something that their descendants or disciples required.


    "Bidding for the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit will start at one hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals. Each new bid must be at least ten thousand higher than the last." The elder gently smiled.


    He barely finished speaking when someone issued a bid.


    "I''ll pay one hundred thirty thousand!"


    "One hundred fifty thousand!"


    "One hundred eighty thousand!"


    A few moments later, the price of the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit had reached three hundred thousand.


    A fruit that could help an Ancient God break through had swiftly reached a price of three hundred thousand high- quality God Crystals. However, its true value was probably between two hundred to three hundred thousand high- quality God Crystals.


    "I''ll pay three hundred and ten thousand." At this moment, a calm and composed voice spoke.


    Everyone turned to see who had spoken.


    Zhao Feng was also rather surprised by this voice. Peering through the darkness to see the speaker, he saw a young man with an ordinary appearance but an abnormal demeanor.


    This person was none other than Xin Wuheng.


    "I didn''t think that Xin Wuheng would also come to this place!" Zhao Feng was rather surprised.


    The zones participating in this Divine Kingdom Trading Ring had to be like the Yangling Zone, home to the Spacetime Sacred Land, but the Chixing Zone did not reach this level. But perhaps there were some objects at the Divine Kingdom Auction that had drawn Xin Wuheng''s interest.


    "Is that Xin Wuheng?" Zhao Yufei''s clear eyes gleamed. It had been a long time since Zhao Yufei saw Xin Wuheng, and she was a little doubtful.


    "Correct." Zhao Feng nodded.


    All three of them originated from Sun Feather City. None of them expected that all three of them would gather once more at the Divine Kingdom Auction.


    "He''s already a God Lord!" Zhao Yufei was flabbergasted.


    Yes, at this time, Xin Wuheng had already broken into the God Lord level, and he was the number one focus of many Ancient God experts in this auction house.

 1431 Silently Making a Fortune

    Chapter 1431 - Silently Making a Fortune


    With a God Lord taking action, the Ancient Gods in the bidding war became somewhat more restrained. Every God Lord of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods could not be underestimated, and Xin Wuheng was incredibly young, presumably meaning that he had some powerful backer. Besides, this price far exceeded the actual price of the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit.


    In addition, the auction had just begun, so there was a chance that an object with a similar effect would be shown later on.


    Suddenly, a raspy and teasing voice called, "Three hundred twenty thousand."


    Everyone turned to see who this was, but this mysterious figure was shrouded in pitch-black fog. However, everyone near this person sense a terrifying energy that made them involuntarily tremble.


    In the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring, quite a few people would conceal their energy or obscure everything about themselves, just like this mysterious man in the pitch-black fog.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but use his left eye to see through the fog. This mysterious bidder was clearly hostile to Xin Wuheng.


    He was quickly able to make out the figure in the fog.


    "God Lord Evil Spirits?" Zhao Feng couldn¡¯t help but blurt out.


    The person bidding against Xin Wuheng was a God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall, and he was none other than God Lord Evil Spirit, who Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng pushed back together some time ago.


    "Three hundred thirty thousand!" Xin Wuheng''s expression darkened as he continued to bid.


    "Three hundred forty thousand."


    "Three hundred fifty thousand!" Xin Wuheng''s face turned dark and furious, but he remained stubborn and apparently intent on getting his way.


    "Heh, four hundred thousand!" God Lord Evil Spirit gave an evil chuckle. After a momentary pause, he continued to bid. In his view, Xin Wuheng had let the blood get to his head, and the Giant God Race appeared to have a burning desire for this resource and would not let it go so easily.


    But to his surprise:


    "Since you like it so much, I''ll give it to you." Xin Wuheng suddenly calmed down and faintly smiled.


    "This..." God Lord Evil Spirit was instantly struck dumb.


    He was originally hiking the price intentionally so that Xin Wuheng would suffer a loss, but he never expected for Xin Wuheng to give up. It was now apparent that Xin Wuheng had been acting the whole time, and now, he was paying far more than the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit was actually worth.


    "Congratulations to Guest 405 for obtaining the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit for a price of four hundred thousand!" The white-robed auctioneer smiled.


    The Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit was only the appetizer for this auction. It was only worth around two hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals, but it had been auctioned off for a final price of four hundred thousand. This was already very surprising.


    A second and third item were auctioned off, each of them extremely rare and precious, though not to the level of the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit.


    "We are now auctioning the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber, a supreme-quality divine artifact of rather decent quality. It contains the pure energy of golden flames and is incredibly powerful when used in attacks. It originates from the 21st ranked Blazing Gold Race!" the white-robed elder introduced.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed. This Blazing Cloud Divine Saber was one of the many supreme-quality divine artifacts he was auctioning off, and it was one of the better-quality ones. Although the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber could be considered an entire level lower than the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror, it was actually a little higher when compared to the Spacetime Robe.


    "Damn, that is¡­the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber!" A woman¡¯s infuriated voice came from a blazing fire in the auction house.


    "Heh, a Blazing Gold Race God Lord." Zhao Feng''s left eye was able to see through the fiery light and spot the beautiful old woman within.


    The Blazing Gold Race had three God Lords in all. With God Lord Fire Cloud dead, the only ones left were this old woman and the patriarch.


    "Supreme-quality divine artifact Blazing Cloud Divine Saber! The bidding starts at one million, and each new bid must increase by at least ten thousand!" the white-robed elder announced.


    Til pay one million twenty thousand!"


    "One million forty!"


    "1.1 million!"


    "1.5 million!"


    There were many cultivators of the Metal and Fire Dao. Thus, even if the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber was not of particularly high quality, there were still many people competing over it. In just a short while, the price of this supreme-quality divine artifact had reached one million five hundred thousand, and it was getting larger.


    At this moment, the Blazing Gold Race God Lord stepped forward.


    "Everyone, return this divine artifact to this elderly one. Two million!" The old woman spoke in a pleasant voice while also exuding scorching God Lord energy.


    A supreme-quality divine artifact on the level of the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber only had a value of around one million seven hundred thousand. Since the Blazing Gold Race God Lord''s bid already exceeded the actual price, this request was not very excessive. In addition, she exuded her God Lord energy so that she could take back this divine artifact of the Blazing Gold Race for a somewhat smaller price.


    When a God Lord spoke up, people would normally give them a little face. Moreover, the auction had only begun, and there would probably be many more supreme-quality divine artifacts. Thus, the vast majority of people gave up on bidding.


    "2.1 million." Zhao Feng faintly smiled, lowering the tone of his voice before speaking so that the other party couldn''t identify him.


    "2.15 million!" The old woman''s eyes chilled.


    After the war, the Blazing Gold Race had suffered severe damage to its middle and upper echelons. Thus, it truly required the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber, and this wasn''t even considering that the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber belonged to the Blazing Gold Race in the first place.


    Moreover, she had already spoken out as a God Lord. The fact that someone was continuing to compete with her displeased her and made her even less willing to submit.


    "2.2 million." Zhao Feng immediately bid.


    "Brother Feng, you''re so bad!" Zhao Yufei''s beautiful eyes flashed as she smiled. She naturally knew that Zhao Feng was the one to put up this item for auction.


    "Hah, the other party bidding is a Blazing Gold Race God Lord. Otherwise, I would never do something like this." After softly chuckling Zhao Feng stated another price; "2.4 million!"


    "2.5 million!" The old woman was trembling in rage, and she wanted nothing more than to rush up there and see who exactly was competing with her.


    Earlier, she had speculated that perhaps this bidder truly needed this divine artifact, but now, she was sure that this person was hostile to her and was intentionally raising the price.


    I don''t think my identity was exposed... The old woman turned pensive. While bidding, she had also altered her voice.


    This time, however, Zhao Feng did not continue bidding up the price. There was a danger to bidding up a price. If the old woman suddenly emulated Xin Wuheng and no longer wanted the divine artifact, it would be Zhao Feng who would suffer the loss.


    Like this, the old woman used two million and five hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals to buy back the divine artifact that had originally belonged to the Blazing Gold Race.


    "No rush. There are still many more to go!" Zhao Feng gave a dazzling smile. The supreme-quality divine artifacts he had put up for auction were almost all obtained from the half-step God Lords of the Blazing Gold Race.


    There were many kinds of objects up for auction today, including pets, combat skills, pills, damaged maps, and much more. Quite a few of these objects ended up with prices far higher than the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber.


    "Next up for bidding is one of the most precious treasures when it comes to comprehending Time Intent: Moonlight Sky Bamboo. This treasure contains pure Time Essence. Once consumed, one can slowly absorb the Time Essence and comprehend Time Intent. Moreover, it will also increase one''s ability to comprehend Time Intent!" the elder loudly proclaimed.


    Zhao Feng''s expression shifted. If his guess was right, this piece of Moonlight Sky Bamboo should be the one that he had put up for auction.


    Zhao Feng had obtained several pieces of Moonlight Sky Bamboo from the ruins, but he himself had only consumed one piece. When taking an herb for the second time, the effect would be reduced, so he had put one piece up for auction.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but wonder what sort of price the Moonlight Sky Bamboo would reach.


    "Moonlight Sky Bamboo!? Such a precious Time Intent cultivation resource!"


    "I just so happened to hit a bottleneck in cultivating Time Intent! If I obtain this Moonlight Sky Bamboo, I''ll definitely be able to reach the next level!"


    The appearance of the Moonlight Sky Bamboo had many experts in the auction house, including God Lords, rather tempted.


    Although it was inferior in quality to something like the Blazing Cloud Divine Saber, it was so rare and so in demand that it became hotly contested.


    Time Intent could counter almost all other Intents, and though it was rather difficult to cultivate, anyone with high enough cultivation, such as Ancient Gods or God Lords, would try and cultivate it.


    Moreover, Moonlight Sky Bamboo could increase one''s ability to comprehend Time Intent. Even those with no talent in this path would be able to change themselves by consuming the Moonlight Sky Bamboo.


    In addition, if one had just become a True God, taking the Moonlight Sky Bamboo would allow one to walk the Dao of Time and become an expert skilled in Time energy in the future.


    "The starting price for Moonlight Sky Bamboo is six hundred thousand! Each bid must be higher than the next by at least ten thousand!" the white-robed elder announced.


    "Six hundred twenty thousand!"


    "I''ll pay six hundred thirty thousand!"


    "Six hundred fifty thousand!"


    A few moments later, the price of the Moonlight Sky Bamboo had risen to eight hundred thousand, and the number of bidders far exceeded that for any previous object. Eight God Lords were in the bidding war, with God Lord Evil Spirit being one of them.


    "One million." At this moment, a calm and elderly voice came from the guest box across from Zhao Feng.


    To his surprise, Zhao Feng found this voice rather familiar.


    "God Lord Verdant Origin." Zhao Feng determined after some thought.


    God Lord Verdant Origin was the God Lord of the Life Sacred Land who had presided over the peace negotiations between the Blazing Gold Race and Spiritual Race.


    Zhao Feng would not lightly use his see-through ability on the people within the other guest boxes so as to avoid any unnecessary problems.


    "God Lord Verdant OriginP"


    "Life Sacred Land!"


    The experts in the auction house all had some reputation, and quite a few of them knew God Lord Verdant Origin, so they were quick to identify him.


    "Damn, the Life Sacred Land?" After some thought, a half-step God Lord decided to give up on the Moonlight Sky Bamboo.


    The entrances to the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring were distributed across five major zones, and the Ziling Zone was one of these. Once the Life Sacred Land made a bid, the bidders from the Ziling Zone all gave up.


    However, there were still experts from other zones who were reluctant to give up on the Moonlight Sky Bamboo and were prepared to make their own bids.


    But at this moment, a dark and sinister voice came from a guest box not far from God Lord Verdant Origin; "1.1 million!"


    To so unhesitantly oppose the Life Sacred Land and even increase the bid by one hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals... this action made many of the people in the auction house tremble and begin to guess at the faction within this guest box.


    "Could it be the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land of the Antian Zone?"


    "That''s very likely. The Life Sacred Land has never had a good relationship with the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land."


    Quite a few people began to whisper among themselves.


    "1.2 million." God Lord Verdant Origin calmly increased the bid by another one hundred thousand.


    Almost a moment later, that deep and wicked voice resounded, "1.3 million!"


    "Hah, the people of the Life Sacred Land are engaging in a naked bidding war. They truly have no regard for ttie Fallen Heaven Sacred Land!" Within the guest box was a slender figure, a middle-aged man with white skin covered in black stripes, who was quietly chuckling to himself.


    "If they want the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, they''ll have to pay at least double the price!" A black-robed woman next to the man giggled.


    "1.6 million."


    "1.65 million!"


    At this moment, the Moonlight Sky Bamboo far exceeded its original price.


    "I didn''t think that something that I put up for auction would be so hotly contested!" Inside his guest box, Zhao Feng was pleasantly surprised.

 1432 Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone

    Chapter 1432 - Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone


    The Moonlight Sky Bamboo had far exceeded its original price by now, but the bidding still didn''t stop.


    "1.8 million!" The person from the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land continued to call out.


    The Moonlight Sky Bamboo was suddenly now worth a supreme-quality divine artifact.


    "Heavens! Neither side is giving in!"


    "Hehe, I wonder who will win in the end."


    Many members in the auction house were simply sitting back and watching the show. A piece of Moonlight Sky Bamboo that wasn''t even worth one million had now reached an astronomical price of 1.8 million.


    "Okay!" Zhao Feng was rejoicing inside his guest box.


    He had never imagined that something he put for auction would be such a hot commodity. And if the other objects he had put for auction could also get a decent price.... When the time came, Zhao Feng might even be able to try for some of the more precious items up for auction.


    "1.85 million."


    "Hah, the Life Sacred Land is the same as ever, always believing that it''s something else and unwilling to give ground!" The white-skinned and black-striped man of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land coldly sneered.


    "1.9 million!" He continued to raise the price.


    God Lord Verdant Origin''s expression chilled. If this continued, then even if he obtained the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, he would still be losing out on this transaction. But he had taken a liking to this resource first. If he gave it over to the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land, he would be losing face for the Life Sacred Land.


    At this moment:


    "Everyone, why don''t you give this Moonlight Sky Bamboo to this old man for the price of two million high-quality God Crystals?" An elderly voice suddenly came from the rightmost guest box, resounding endlessly through the auction house.


    "What powerful Spacetime energy!"


    "Who is this person?"


    Everyone immediately began to speculate as to this person''s identity.


    From this person''s tone, they were on the same level as the God Lords of the two Sacred Lands. This, together with his profound Spacetime Intent, meant that they were undoubtedly a God Lord of the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "Okay. I will let Senior Void Spirit have this Moonlight Sky Bamboo," God Lord Verdant Origin smiled and said.


    "Since God Lord Void Spirit has spoken, this junior will cease haggling." The person from the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land also chose to give up.


    He was primarily targeting the Life Sacred Land, and now that the Life Sacred Land had given up, he naturally couldn''t continue and compete with the Spacetime Sacred Land''s God Lord Void Spirit.


    In the rightmost room, a timeworn elder dressed in a gray-white robe was within, a calm expression on his face. Next to him was an icy woman with an exquisite and beautiful appearance.


    "Luo Ling, with this Moonlight Sky Bamboo, you will be able to get even stronger," God Lord Void Spirit affectionately said to the woman.


    "Master, be at ease! I will not let you down!" A hint of determination flashed through Ancient God Luo Ling''s eyes. Elsewhere:


    "Haha, two million high-quality God Crystals...!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but laugh in joy.


    That piece of Moonlight Sky Bamboo wasn''t very useful to him, but he was able to auction it off for a sky-high price of two million.


    With the Moonlight Sky Bamboo auctioned off, several more Time Intent cultivation resources were put up for auction. Seventy percent of these Time Intent resources had been put up for auction by Zhao Feng.


    Although these Time Intent resources were not as rare or as valuable as the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, they were all of extremely high quality and still rare in the outside world. Thus, they were able to command extremely high prices.


    The majority of them were bought up by half-step God Lords from the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone! Able to purify the soul and strengthen one''s Soul energy! A divine stone that can cause the soul body to evolve! It is even effective for souls of half-step God Lords!" The white-robed elder smiled.


    Treasures that could strengthen soul energy were already incredibly valuable. For many races, raising one''s cultivation was easy while raising the level of one''s soul was excruciatingly difficult.


    "A treasure that can raise the level of a soul?" Zhao Feng was rather tempted.


    Some time ago, his Soul Intent had reached the half-step God Lord level, but he still hadn''t had a chance to stabilize his foundations. If he could obtain the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone, he could completely stabilize his Soul Intent, perhaps even using it as a foundation for a breakthrough into a God Lord.


    "The starting price for the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone is seven hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals. Each bid must be at least ten thousand higher!"


    The moment he finished speaking, several people shouted out bids.


    "Seven hundred twenty thousand!"


    "Seven hundred thirty thousand!"


    "Seven hundred sixty thousand!"


    There were far too many people who needed this treasure, so there were many bidders. Even Xin Wuheng, God Lord Evil Spirit, and the Spiritual Race''s Second Elder were taking part. There were also experts from the five-star factions of other zones.


    The price of the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone soon reached 1.4 million.


    Slowly, the majority of the people began to give up. After all, only half-step God Lords and peak Rank Nines could get the most use out of this treasure, and the price of 1.4 million was very high.


    "1.42 million!" a half-step God Lord of the Spacetime Sacred Land shouted out a bid.


    "1.46 million!" God Lord Evil Spirit had not given up and shouted out his own price. He hadn''t come to this place purely to buy treasures for himself; he was also looking for any treasures that could help out his race.


    "1.5 million." The Life Sacred Land''s God Lord Verdant Origin suddenly spoke.


    This in-demand treasure was even more hotly contested than the Moonlight Sky Bamboo.


    "1.53 million!" Zhao Feng shouted out his own bid. He was not lacking for high-quality God Crystals, but he was also not willing to quarrel with the Sacred Lands.


    At this moment, every one of the five Sacred Lands of the five major zones had one or two people trying for the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone.


    "Mm, you won''t succeed!" The old woman from the Blazing Gold Race sneered.


    Zhao Feng had consecutively ruined their plans, so she should have been trying to make Zhao Feng''s life harder at this time. However, seeing as how five Sacred Lands and many five-star factions were wrangling over this treasure, she decided to remain uninvolved.


    The price of the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone quickly reached 1.7 million. This price was extremely high, and the majority of the people had already dropped out.


    "1.73 million!" Zhao Feng continued to shout out bids.


    "Who is it in that guest box? They still haven''t given up yet!"


    "Is he planning to compete with the five Sacred Lands?"


    Quite a few people in the auction house couldn''t help but look at Zhao Feng''s guest box in confusion.


    Bzzzz!


    At this moment, a powerful Divine Sense entered Zhao Feng''s room, startling both him and Zhao Yufei. Although the room had a screening effect, the Divine Sense of a Second Heaven God Lord was incredibly powerful and could easily break through it.


    "Eh? It''s you?" God Lord Verdant Origin blurted out in surprise.


    God Lord Verdant Origin was a Second Heaven God Lord of a Sacred Land, a powerful expert in his own right, so he naturally felt no fear in using his Divine Sense to see who was in Zhao Feng''s box.


    "This junior is here," Zhao Feng messaged back.


    "The peace negotiations before were not very fair to the Spiritual Race, so I will cease bidding for this Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone," God Lord Verdant Origin messaged back, upon which he ceased bidding.


    This left Zhao Feng rather surprised. He hadn''t expected for God Lord Verdant Origin to give up after learning who he was.


    God Lord Verdant Origin gave an explanation, but he didn''t show the same regard when bidding against other Spiritual Race experts. It seemed like God Lord Verdant Origin had taken a liking to Zhao Feng.


    The Life Sacred Land''s God Lord Verdant Origin giving up left many experts in the auction house startled.


    "It seems like the person in there is rather illustrious!"


    Many people speculated that there had to be at least a Second Heaven God Lord inside.


    God Lord Verdant Origin had just given up when yet another powerful Divine Sense came sweeping over.


    "Spacetime Sacred Land?" Zhao Feng turned his eyes to the rightmost room.


    "A young man, peak Rank Nine?" God Lord Void Spirit was rather surprised. He had originally believed that Zhao Feng had to at least be a God Lord or someone from a Sacred Land. Otherwise, why would God Lord Verdant Origin have given up?


    "Luo Ling, I spend most of my time in seclusion and don''t have much understanding of the outside world. Do you know anything about this person?" God Lord Void Spirit created an image of Zhao Feng.


    "It''s him?" Ancient God Luo Ling stared at the image of Zhao Feng in shock.


    "Oh? It seems like this kid has quite the background." God Lord Void Spirit gently smiled. He had a deep understanding of his disciple and knew that no ordinary peak Rank Nine could ever cause Ancient God Luo Ling to be so surprised.


    "Master, this person is called Zhao Feng, a genius of the Spiritual Race. It''s rumored that he directly broke through into Rank Six, and he was also kind to your disciple...." Ancient God Luo Ling truthfully replied. She had investigated Zhao Feng after returning to the Spacetime Sacred Land.


    "Directly broke through into Rank Six?" God Lord Void Spirit was slightly startled. Even the Quasi-God prodigies of Sacred Lands were rarely able to directly attain Rank Six.


    "Forget it. Your master was bidding for this treasure for your sake anyway." God Lord Void Spirit sighed.


    Meanwhile, the price of the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone was continuing to rise. But at this moment, an elderly voice laughed; "This old man will stop here. I hope that Young Friend Zhao can obtain this treasure!"


    "God Lord Void Spirit withdrew!?"


    "Just who is this person? First God Lord Verdant Origin gave up, and now the Spacetime Sacred Land''s God Lord Void Spirit!"


    Even more confused voices rang out through the auction house. The withdrawal of the two Sacred Lands had piqued the curiosity of the bidders in the other guest boxes.


    Even Zhao Feng was somewhat surprised. After all, he should have had no relationship with God Lord Void Spirit.


    This time, Zhao Feng could not restrain himself and used his God''s Spiritual Eye to look into God Lord Void Spirit''s room.


    "It''s her?" Zhao Feng immediately understood.


    At the same time:


    Bzzzzzzzz!


    One Divine Sense after another of varying levels of strength swept through Zhao Feng''s room, but only First Heaven God Lords or above were able to actually see inside.


    "1.8 million." Zhao Feng made another bid.


    Although this price far exceeded the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone''s actual value, Zhao Feng needed this treasure and was willing to pay this enormous price.


    Strangely, no one bid against him this time. Perhaps the other two Sacred Lands giving up had caused the members of the other Sacred Lands to pay more attention to Zhao Feng. There was also the fact that the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone was most effective to half-step God Lords and below.


    Thus, Zhao Feng obtained the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone for a price of 1.8 million.


    "The Eight Ultimate Sacred Heavens Art, a divine-level top-class art created by a mighty power of the Ancient Era''s Sacred Heaven Race. One can cultivate this art all the way to the peak First Heaven God Lord level. This art is extremely powerful and can completely counter cultivators of the Devil Dao!" the white-robed elder loudly announced.


    "Heavens, a divine-level top-class art!?"


    "And it''s an art left behind by the 11th ranked Sacred Heaven Race!"


    Countless experts were excited by this item.


    Good arts and techniques were always incredibly difficult to obtain. There was no doubting the power of this Eight Ultimate Sacred Heavens Art, and it could even counter cultivators of the Devil Dao.


    "It can be cultivated to peak First Heaven God Lord level?" Zhao Feng also couldn''t help but be surprised and interested in this art. One had to realize that the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique he cultivated could only last until he became a God Lord.


    The Eight Ultimate Sacred Heavens Art had a rather prestigious background, being created by a powerful expert of the 11th ranked Sacred Heaven Race.

 1433 The Auctions Climax

    Chapter 1433 - The Auction''s Climax


    "The starting price for the Eight Ultimate Sacred Heavens Art is 1.5 million high-quality God Crystals. Each new bid must be at least ten thousand higher!"


    The starting price of the Eight Ultimate Sacred Heavens Art was greater than that of any previous object up for action. Some of the final bids didn''t even manage to reach 1.5 million.


    But the moment the white-robed elder finished speaking, several people swiftly made bids.


    "1.6 million."


    "1.62 million!"


    "Two million!"


    The price of the Eight Ultimate Sacred Heavens Art rose with unprecedented speed, swiftly reaching two million. The bidders were mostly half-step God Lords or God Lords.


    Xin Wuheng also called out a bid, but the price was rising so quickly that the ultimate price would probably exceed his estimates, so he decided to give up.


    Three million!" A God Lord of a five-star faction under the Spacetime Sacred Land suddenly moved, calling out a shocking price.


    Even so, only part of the group gave up. There were even many factions who seemed dead-set on obtaining this art. After all, a powerful art could grant a cultivator strength far above normal and decide how far they would be able to proceed on the martial path.


    Although supreme-quality divine artifacts were rare, they were still external objects. Thus, the value of this divine-level art far exceeded ordinary supreme-quality divine artifacts.


    In the end, the Eight Ultimate Sacred Heavens Art was taken by the Sacred Land of another zone for a price of six million high-quality God Crystals.


    The Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique can only last me until I become a God Lord. When the time comes, I will have to find another art or create my own...." Zhao Feng''s expression darkened. He was not far from becoming a God Lord now and had to start planning for the future.


    If there was an art of the God Lord level suitable for him, Zhao Feng was planning to make a move.


    The final price for the Eight Ultimate Sacred Heavens Art was the highest so far and made great waves, but the auction was far from over. Each one of the following items was an incredibly rare treasure, even more precious than the Eight Ultimate Sacred Heavens Art. The atmosphere in the auction house was raised to the very limit.


    "Next up for auction is a Divine Kingdom left behind by a peak First Heaven God Lord, infused with a Law of Darkness. In addition, the original appearance has been completely preserved. The treasures or secrets of this God Lord might still be inside!" The white-robed elder smiled.


    "What? A peak First Heaven God Lord''s Divine Kingdom?"


    "Completely preserved!?"


    Many experts found themselves tempted by this item.


    Only God Lords could create Divine Kingdoms, but the majority of them would not keep their Divine Kingdoms on them. For this reason, when these God Lords were killed, their Divine Kingdoms remained, turning into ownerless objects. Those who were lucky enough might accidentally enter one of these Divine Kingdoms, obtaining the fortune left behind by a God Lord.


    At this moment, the Divine Kingdom Auction House was auctioning off something that countless people could only dream of - a lucky opportunity.


    "Divine Kingdom!?" Shock appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes. He hadn''t expected even Divine Kingdoms to be purchasable.


    "If a half-step God Lord is able to refine this Divine Kingdom and inherit its power, they will usually have a ninety percent chance of becoming a God Lord. If the Law energy matches with a God Lord expert, they can fuse this Divine Kingdom into their own Divine Kingdom, rendering it indestructible." The white-robed elder added a further explanation of this Divine Kingdom''s uses and value.


    Of course, there were also flaws in using a Divine Kingdom to become a God Lord, as it would affect one''s future potential. But the auctioneer would definitely only choose to talk about the advantages.


    "A Divine Kingdom can basically create a God Lord! No wonder the Blazing Gold Race cared so much about the Divine Kingdom that Zhao Yufei obtained." If he didn''t hear it from the old auctioneer, Zhao Feng would have never known about this.


    His primary purpose in coming here was to buy treasures that he could help him break into the God Lord level.


    However, this Divine Kingdom was a little too much, and the Divine Kingdom contained a Law of Darkness, which Zhao Feng had no expertise in whatsoever. He possessed the Spacetime Robe and Ancestral Artifact fragment, so it was best if he walked the Dao of Spacetime.


    Xin Wuheng was also greatly tempted, but he could guess that this Divine Kingdom''s price would undoubtedly be sky-high.


    The starting price is three million! Each new bid must be at least ten thousand higher than the previous!" the white- robed elder announced.


    As this Divine Kingdom was still completely preserved and could hold many valuable secrets or treasures, the starting price of the Divine Kingdom was placed at three million.


    "Four million!" A God Lord raised the price by one million right from the get-go.


    But his bid was quickly drowned out.


    "4.1 million!


    "4.12 million!"


    One bid after another was shouted out, with Ancient Soul Hall''s God Lord Evil Spirit being one of them.


    "Six million!" the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land''s God Lord loudly called.


    At a price of six million high-quality God Crystals, the Eight Ultimate Sacred Heavens Art had instantly been equaled. It seemed like the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land was determined to obtain this Divine Kingdom.


    This Divine Kingdom was wholly capable of creating a God Lord, and the experts of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land had always cultivated evil and wicked Intents like Shadow Intent, Darkness Intent, and Decay Intent.


    The Law of Darkness contained in this Divine Kingdom was perfectly suitable for the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land. If they succeeded, they could have a peerless prodigy become a God Lord or strengthen the power of an existing God Lord.


    But there were countless factions who practiced Evil Dao in the five major zones, and all of them needed this Divine Kingdom.


    "6.1 million!"


    "6.2 million!"


    The price of the Divine Kingdom continued to rise.


    "Nine million!" the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land''s God Lord frigidly said.


    This price instantly intimidated the other bidders and caused many people in the auction house to call out in alarm. A price of nine million was incredibly high, and it also seemed like the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land viewed this item with utmost importance and would not be willing to let go. Thus, the remaining bidders all gave up.


    Just when everyone believed that the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land would obtain the Divine Kingdom for the high price of nine million:


    "9.1 million," God Lord Verdant Origin softly called out, appearing rather indifferent. "9.12 million!" The Fallen Heaven Sacred Land''s God Lord continued to bid.


    "9.2 million."


    "9.22 million!"


    "Damn! This Divine Kingdom is of no use to the Life Sacred Land. They''re intentionally raising the pri robed woman''s eyes flashed with cold light.


    However, they did the same thing earlier.


    "We have to obtain this Divine Kingdom!" the white-skinned man with black stripes gloomily said.


    "Eleven million!" The black-striped man''s voice was cold and harsh, tinged with a slight tremble.


    The auction house exploded with noise. No one had expected for this Divine Kingdom''s price to almost double the Eight Ultimate Sacred Heavens Art.


    "This Divine Kingdom isn''t that useful to us, so we''ll just give it to you," God Lord Verdant Origin spoke in a modest and magnanimous tone.


    This caused the people of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land to almost break out in curses. Fortunately for them, this price was still not too unreasonable, and they had obtained the Divine Kingdom in the end, preserving their face in front of the Life Sacred Land.


    "A single Divine Kingdom was actually sold for eleven million high-quality God Crystals?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sigh. Of course, he was also sighing in wonder at the domineering fortune wielded by God Lords of Sacred Lands.


    After the Divine Kingdom, the other items that followed were all extremely valuable treasures. A Sacred Land would make a bid every time, and the majority of the prices would reach seven million God Crystals or higher. And it was mostly Sacred Lands that got their hands on these treasures.


    After a slew of high-price bidding wars, the value of the items up for auction began to fall. But those who understood the situation knew that the climax was coming. The previous items had consumed the capital of many factions and experts, so the auctioneer was intentionally bringing out these lower-value items so that they would have time to make preparations.


    "Golden Glass Axe! A supreme-quality divine artifact! Though somewhat damaged, it originates from the 21st ranked Blazing Gold Race, and its power is greater than ordinary damaged supreme-quality divine artifacts!"


    "Flame Hell Shield! A damaged supreme-quality divine artifact! It possesses incredible defensive power and is also from the 21st ranked Blazing Gold Race..."


    Up for auction next were several items that Zhao Feng had provided. As there were many of these damaged supreme- quality divine artifacts, they were being auctioned off all at once


    Just as expected, the Blazing Gold Race''s old woman went full force to get back the divine artifacts that had been lost by her race.


    "1.6 million!" Zhao Feng immediately responded, occasionally hiking up the price.


    Damn! It must be the Spiritual Race! The old woman ground her teeth, but there was nothing she could do. During the bidding for the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone, God Lord Verdant Origin had given that person some face, so this person was probably the Spiritual Race Patriarch.


    "1.65 million!"


    Zhao Feng knew to not overdo it and did not raise the price too high. He was constantly observing the old woman in the flames. The moment she hesitated, Zhao Feng stopped.


    Just like this, Zhao Feng was able to get rather high prices for these divine artifacts, which returned to the Blazing Gold Race.


    With this, all of the items that Zhao Feng put up for auction had been sold off.


    "Haha, I now have nearly twenty million high-quality God Crystals!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but rejoice.


    Of course, he had to thank the Blazing Gold Race. He took those supreme-quality divine artifacts from the Blazing Gold Race and had now sold them back.


    What was up for auction next were tools with unique skills.


    These special tools were undoubtedly connected to the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Almost all the array and mechanism masters of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods felt an incredible yearning for the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and the products they created all showed the influence of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    Some of these tools had a high value while some of them had rather low value. The most expensive tool was able to unleash an attack equivalent to a First Heaven God Lord, and it could even be recharged after use. This special tool was sold for a price of 4.5 million.


    "Heavenly Demon Fire Dragon Blade! A top-class existence among supreme-quality divine artifacts. It is weakly infused with a Fire Law and a Destruction Law, and its power is sufficient to destroy ordinary supreme-quality divine artifacts. It originates from the 9th ranked Destruction Dragon Race."


    As this divine artifact contained a Fire Law and a Destruction Law, its value far surpassed Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Robe. After all, a normal supreme-quality divine artifact only contained top-class Intent Essence. At the most, it would be weakly infused with a single Law.


    The final bid was ten million, almost the price of the Divine Kingdom earlier.


    "Devil Soul God Jade! A Devil Jade left behind by a God Lord of the Devil Dao. After absorbing and comprehending the energy within, one can form a unique Devil Soul Body!"


    The Devil Soul God Jade could cause one''s soul to evolve into a Devil Soul Body.


    Upon reaching the God Lord level, one had to pay even more attention to cultivating the soul. Unique soul bodies were undoubtedly stronger than normal soul bodies. Moreover, the Devil Soul God Jade could also increase the strength of a God Lord of the Devil Dao.


    The appearance of this item immediately set off a frenzied bidding war between numerous God Lords of the Devil Dao.


    "Next up for auction is a fragment of a supreme Ancestral Artifact!"


    The moment the white-robed elder spoke, the auction house immediately fell silent.

 1434 God Lord Heavenly Solitude Makes His Move

    Chapter 1434 - God Lord Heavenly Solitude Makes His Move


    "Next up for auction is a fragment of a supreme Ancestral Artifact!"


    The moment the white-robed elder spoke, the raucous auction house became deathly still.


    "It''s finally about to appear!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude muttered, his body concealed beneath a black mantle.


    "Just what sort of Ancestral Artifact fragment is it?" The members of the Life Sacred Land turned serious.


    On the other side, the members of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land couldn''t help but stand up and look at the stage. They had learned that an Ancestral Artifact fragment would appear at the Divine Kingdom Auction, but no one knew what kind it was.


    At this moment, everyone''s eyes were gathered on the stage.


    The Rank Nine Ancient God beauty next to the white-robed elder took out a golden box. At this moment, even her hands were trembling.


    The moment the box was opened, a dark red gout of flame burst out. The temperature in the auction house instantly increased, and the small number of Rank Eight Ancient Gods instantly felt like their bodies were melting.


    At the same time, the Time Ancestral Artifact fragment within Zhao Feng''s interspatial dimension trembled.


    This is...?" Zhao Feng''s eye pierced through the layers of Fire energy so that he could get a clear look at the object within the box.


    This was a golden-red feather, its surface covered in bright-red flame carvings. There was a dark red flame slowly burning at the end of it, exuding the dreadful energy of a Fire Law.


    Even Zhao Feng felt an enormous desire for this feather at this point. After all, he cultivated Fire Intent as well. Even though he had already one Ancestral Artifact fragment, this sort of thing was something that no one would mind having more of.


    "A fragment of the Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude was startled, his pitch-black eyes glimmering.


    "Could this feather be from Blazing Hell?"


    "The supreme Ancestral Artifact of the Ancient Era''s Golden Crow Race?"


    "To think that it would be a fragment of such a powerful Ancestral Artifact!"


    Those old monsters in the auction house who had lived for tens to hundreds of millions of years were extremely well- leamed and instantly recognized the origin of this feather.


    "This Ancestral Artifact fragment originates from the supreme Ancestral Artifact of the Golden Crow Race, Blazing Hell. It contains the purest Law of Fire, and the Fire energy it holds is not an ordinary fire, but Golden Crow Flame!" The white-robed elder took in a deep breath before slowly speaking.


    "Hurry and start!" There were already some in the auction house who were ready to start bidding.


    This fragment from Blazing Hell was of abnormally high quality. In addition, Fire Laws were extremely commonly-used laws. The majority of the God Lords present could use this Ancestral Artifact fragment as they pleased.


    But even if one cultivated an energy different from the energy contained in the Ancestral Artifact fragment, no one could refuse the temptation of an Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    "The starting price of the Ancestral Artifact fragment is twenty million. Each new bid must be at least one hundred thousand higher than the previous!" the white-robed elder loudly announced.


    The starting price of the Ancestral Artifact fragment was already twenty million. Some of the less wealthy God Lords didn''t even have the ability to call out a bid.


    Although this was a shocking price, the auctioneer had barely finished speaking when someone called out a bid. "Twenty-one million!"


    "Twenty-three million!"


    "Twenty-four million!"


    One shout after another filled the auction house.


    The Ancestral Artifact fragment was priceless, and there were some God Lords who were even willing to give up everything they owned. And some of the guest boxes which had been hitherto silent also began to issue bids.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng sensed almost ten new God Lord auras, the majority on par with God Lord Verdant Origin and one or two that were several times stronger.


    The five Sacred Lands had many God Lords, and all of them were taking part.


    A few moments later, the price of the Ancestral Artifact fragment had reached forty million.


    But even at that price, the number of bidders did not significantly decrease. A single Ancestral Artifact fragment was far too precious. Any God Lord who had one would be able to dominate those of the same level and even challenge those a level higher.


    "It seems like a lot of people came purely for the Ancestral Artifact fragment." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be shocked.


    "Fifty million!" a God Lord called out in agitation. But even this price was instantly drowned out by other God Lords.


    Most of the crowd in the auction house were only spectators to this bidding war, but all of them still felt extremely passionate and agitated.


    "Sixty million!"


    "Sixty-three million!"


    Finally, when the Ancestral Artifact fragment reached this price, the number of people bidding suddenly dropped.


    "Damn! Bidding for the Divine Kingdom earlier took a significant amount of our funds!" The white-skinned black- striped man of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land was somewhat unwilling.


    By the time the price of the Ancestral Artifact fragment reached eighty million, only a few powerful factions were left.


    All of them were very cautious when making bids now. After all, eighty million high-quality God Crystals was no small number. Even the Second Heaven God Lords of the Sacred Lands had to be careful when making bids.


    "One hundred million!" A hoarse and sinister voice suddenly came from down below.


    The auction house instantly fell silent. Everyone turned to stare at a mysterious person whose features were obscured by a black mantle.


    The previous bid was eighty-three million, but now, this person had brought the price straight to one hundred million! Even the five Sacred Lands became hesitant.


    "One hundred million and one hundred thousand!" A Spacetime Sacred Land God Lord made a bid.


    "One hundred ten million!" The mysterious man made his bid.


    The Spacetime Sacred Land only added one hundred thousand, but this mysterious man added ten million! All the Sacred Lands instantly put an end to any idea of getting the fragment.


    Although they had given up on the bidding war, everyone wanted to see just who this mysterious man under the black mantle was.


    "Just who is that?"


    "Not even Sacred Lands were able to outbid him!"


    Many people in the auction house turned to look at this mysterious man. But even the Divine Sense of a Second Heaven God Lord was repelled, unable to see the face within.


    "This voice... is rather familiar!" Zhao Feng activated his left eye and focused. Gradually, his gaze pierced through the black mantle.


    Suddenly, the person underneath the black mantle turned to Zhao Feng and coldly snorted. Zhao Feng instantly felt his soul tremble.


    "God Lord Heavenly Solitude!" Zhao Feng''s heart thumped as he immediately looked away.


    He hadn''t expected for God Lord Heavenly Solitude to be the one to obtain the Ancestral Artifact fragment in the end. It was evident that the faction behind him was not simple at all.


    With the Ancestral Artifact fragment sold, the Divine Kingdom Auction gradually approached its end. The treasures following could not compare to the Ancestral Artifact fragment, but they were still rather valuable.


    "Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng! It can increase the chances of a half-step God Lord breaking into the God Lord level by around twenty percent. If an Ancient God takes it, it will greatly increase their cultivation." As the white-robed elder announced this precious plant, many half-step God Lords in the auction house felt their hearts thump.


    Although it was only twenty percent, even ten percent would have half-step God Lords fighting over themselves to get their hands on it.


    There were three Heaven Void God Origin Ginsengs up for auction.


    "There really was something like this!" Zhao Feng had a joyful look on his face.


    The starting price of the Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng was 1.5 million, but the price shortly soared to three million. "3.2 million!" Zhao Feng made his move.


    "3.52 million!"


    "3.65 million!"


    Zhao Feng was determined to obtain this plant, and he had gained an immense number of God Crystals from this auction, so he was completely confident! In the end, Zhao Wan succeeded in obtaining the first Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng for 4.3 million.


    The bidding war went much more smoothly than Zhao Feng expected. After all, the Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng could only increase the chances of becoming a God Lord by twenty percent. Above three million, it was no longer cost- effective. Moreover, in this final phase of the auction, the various factions had used up most of their funds, some of them having been completely emptied out.


    One could say that Zhao Feng had found a small loophole.


    "Damn! I''ll definitely get the second one!" Although Zhao Feng had gotten the first one, there were still two more, and many experts were readying for the second bidding war.


    "The second Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng has a starting price of 1.5 million. Each new bid must be ten thousand higher than the last!"


    The white-robed elder just finished speaking. There was no slow build-up of price.


    "4.3 million!" Zhao Feng said. He was saving time this way.


    "Damn, that person again!"


    "He''s already gotten one, but he''s not even letting go of the second one?"


    Quite a few people in the auction house were infuriated by this.


    "4.35 million!" someone yelled out in rage.


    "Brother Feng, you''ve already gotten one Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng. Why are you still bidding?" Zhao Yufei was somewhat confused.


    "For you." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    The Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng was a treasure that could increase the chances of becoming a God Lord. Its quality far exceeded the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, so Zhao Feng could not duplicate it. Besides, he had made quite a lot of money, so he might as well continue bidding.


    In the end, Zhao Feng obtained the second Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng for a price of 4.9 million.


    The experts in the auction house believed that Zhao Feng would stop here, but for the third Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng, Zhao Feng once more entered the bidding war, eventually obtaining it for the price of six million.


    Once the auction was over, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei walked out, once again attracting the attention of many. But only a few people knew that Zhao Feng was one who had bought three Heaven Void God Origin Ginsengs in a row.


    "Xin Wuheng!" After traveling some distance, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei found Xin Wuheng.


    "Zhao Feng! Zhao Yufei?" Xin Wuheng was rather surprised.


    The three of them went to a high-end tea house within the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring.


    "How is it? How is the Giant God Race doing?" Zhao Feng inquired.


    Although Xin Wuheng had obtained many precious resources from the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, most of them were Time Intent related. Moreover, the Giant God Race would need some time until it could reach a level where it could fight against Ancient Soul Hall.


    "It''s okay. The Giant God Race is much stronger than it was in the past, and we''re in the middle of recruiting soldiers." Xin Wuheng thought for a moment before speaking.


    The Giant God Race had once controlled Ancient Soul Hall, and there were quite a few factions back then who were devotedly loyal to the Giant God Race. Since the Giant God Race had not shown the strength to oppose Ancient Soul Hall, these factions didn''t dare to recklessly assist it. But now, Xin Wuheng had become a God Lord, and the Giant God Race was rapidly strengthening, as was its faction.


    "Some time ago, the Spiritual Race fought a war with the Blazing Gold Race. I collected quite a few spoils from the battlefield. I was originally planning to auction them off, but the Divine Kingdom Auction is too high-class and paid these things no regard. If you have any use for them, you can take them." Zhao Feng took out an interspatial dimension and placed it on the stone table.


    Inside were many average-quality and high-quality divine artifacts, as well as many low-level resources. These were useless to Zhao Feng, and the Divine Kingdom Auction House had refused to take them, but they could be of enormous help to Xin Wuheng and the Giant God Race.


    "Then I won''t be polite." Xin Wuheng took them, making no attempt to refuse.


    The three of them freely chatted for half a day before parting.


    Three days later, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei followed the Spiritual Race''s Second Elder and left the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring.


    Everyone who had come to the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring this time came away with a significant harvest. Upon returning, the majority entered seclusion.


    Within the Spacetime Robe:


    "Let''s try again to reach Level Nine Space Intent!" Zhao Feng''s eyes sank.


    Only when one reached Level Nine in an Intent could one be considered a half-step God Lord.

 1435 Plea for Help

    Chapter 1435 - Plea for Help


    Within the Spacetime Robe, several high-level Space Intent resources floated in front of Zhao Feng. The essence within these resources was slowly being absorbed by Zhao Feng.


    Bzzz!


    An extremely obvious Space energy appeared around him, making Zhao Feng appear blurry and indistinct.


    Level Nine was the peak for Intents. In order to comprehend an Intent to this extent, one would normally require an extremely long time.


    However, Zhao Feng possessed countless precious resources and a supreme-quality Spacetime divine artifact in the Spacetime Robe. In addition, he also innately possessed some talent in Space Intent. It wasn''t impossible for him to succeed in a shorter time period.


    Nearby, the Black Destruction Dragon opened its eyes.


    "Space Intent... near Level Nine!" The Black Destruction Dragon sensed the powerful spatial ripples coming from Zhao Feng and was stunned.


    After the war between the two races, the Black Destruction Dragon broke through into peak Rank Nine, and it originally believed that it would soon catch up to Zhao Feng.


    This was because the standard for a half-step God Lord was Level Nine Intent, something connected to one''s comprehension ability and talent. And the Fire Intent it cultivated was easier to cultivate than Space Intent, so the Black Destruction Dragon believed that it would reach Level Nine first.


    But it was no longer so certain about that.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Spacetime Robe Dimension''s space became distorted and disorderly. Those of low cultivation and not skilled in Space Intent would be incapable of surviving in this dimension. This situation persisted for an entire year, only worsening as time went on.


    One day, the distortion of the Spacetime Robe suddenly stopped.


    "Success?" The Black Destruction Dragon opened its eyes and waited with bated breath.


    Suddenly, a profound and unfathomable Space Intent began to exude from Zhao Feng. The distorted dimension was instantly pacified. The Black Destruction Dragon also sensed that this dimension had become even vaster and sturdier.


    "Level Nine Space Intent... half-step God Lord!" Zhao Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his body shooting up into the air.


    With his Space Intent at Level Nine, he now had almost complete control over the Spacetime Robe''s power.


    "Master, congratulations on becoming a half-step God Lord!" The Black Destruction Dragon immediately voiced its congratulations.


    Upon becoming a half-step God Lord, Zhao Feng went back to his spot and seated himself cross-legged on the ground. He needed to stabilize his foundation, and his other Intents also still had room to improve.


    In addition, now that his Space Intent had reached Level Nine, he could cultivate the fifth level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique. Once he cultivated this level, he would have a significant leap in strength.


    Three years in the Spacetime Robe passed in the blink of an eye. In this period of time, Zhao Feng fused his Intents together and also somewhat increased the levels of his other Intents. In addition, he had begun to cultivate the fifth level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, and his Chaos Origin Divine Power had gotten even more powerful.


    While cultivating this art, Zhao Feng was also cultivating the powerful combat skill of the fifth level, the Chaos Heaven Black Hole. This skill was an upgraded version of the Chaos Heaven Void Ring. It maximally strengthened the defensive and devouring powers of this skill and also added offensive capabilities.


    Although the Chaos Heaven Black Hole was a combat skill of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique''s fifth level, it was still incredibly difficult to cultivate. One had to be at almost the peak of the fifth level to actually use it.


    Zhao Feng had only gotten a basic grasp of it at this time. He needed more time until he could fully display its power.


    Time flew by, and Zhao Feng had now been in seclusion within the Spacetime Robe for eight years.


    One day, Zhao Feng sensed a powerful ripple of energy from his interspatial dimension and ended his cultivation.


    "What''s wrong?" Zhao Feng took out the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    The Ancestral Artifact fragment had unleashed that powerful ripple.


    "Lord Twilight Valley wishes for me to tell you that Xin Wuheng has asked for help from you." An elderly voice came from the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    The Giant God Race possessed the Ancient God Seal, allowing it to communicate with Twilight Valley within the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, and Twilight Valley had a way to communicate with the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    "What!? The Giant God Race is in danger?" Zhao Feng was dazed.


    When he asked Xin Wuheng how things were going back at the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring, Xin Wuheng had said that everything was fine. But if Xin Wuheng was now directly asking him for assistance, it was clear that the Giant God Race''s situation wasn''t good at all.


    Now that he thought about it, this had to be the case. Even though Xin Wuheng had obtained an enormous amount of resources from the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, the Giant God Race couldn''t possibly develop to a strong enough level to contend against Ancient Soul Hall in just a few decades.


    Xin Wuheng was hoping to have Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei use their connections to have the Spiritual Race send reinforcements.


    However, the Spiritual Race was a vast distance from the Chixing Zone, and two races had no previous relationship. Besides that, the Spiritual Race had just experienced a major war and needed time to recover from its grievous losses. Any rational race would never help a strange faction at a time like this.


    But Zhao Feng still had to try. Upon leaving the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng went to find the Second Elder and explain the situation.


    "Zhao Feng, the patriarch is traveling abroad, the Grand Elder is in seclusion, and the Cursed Words of Death in my body have not been completely undone. Moreover, this is a war between five-star factions of a different zone. The Spiritual Race is in no place to intervene...."


    Just as expected, the Spiritual Race could not send reinforcements, with the Second Elder making a tactful refusal.


    The Spiritual Race was a faction of the Ziling Zone. It truly was rather inappropriate for it to intervene in a war in another zone. Besides, the hopes of the Giant God Race defeating Ancient Soul Hall at its current level of strength were minuscule. If the Spiritual Race recklessly sent reinforcements, they might not come back.


    "Since that''s the case, I''ll go alone." Zhao Feng''s expression was emotionless.


    He was only able to reach his level and possess a heaven-defying treasure like the Ancestral Artifact fragment because Xin Wuheng had gone against his entire race and supported Zhao Feng going into the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. Besides, Nan Gongsheng and Kun Yun were also with the Giant God Race.


    In addition, Zhao Feng had just become a half-step God Lord, his strength increasing by a significant amount. He had the confidence to fight even against a God Lord.


    And war was not necessarily a bad thing. In the previous war, he had reaped a great harvest from the Blazing Gold Race and exchanged it for twenty million high-quality God Crystals.


    But this sort of fortune was still nothing much in a place like the Divine Kingdom Auction House. By going to the aid of the Giant God Race, he might be able to make even more money.


    "Zhao Feng, you must not be rash!" The Second Elder immediately grimaced.


    Zhao Feng had an extremely high chance of becoming a God Lord, even reaching the Second or Third Heaven. He had so much potential that the Spiritual Race was practically regarding him as a member of their race.


    "Elder, be at ease. Back then, even God Lord Fire Cloud couldn''t do anything to me!" Zhao Feng confidently declared.


    "Ancient Soul Hall can''t be compared to the Blazing Gold Race. This faction was powerful enough to overturn the Giant God Race. This alone is evidence of how abnormal it is." The Second Elder immediately tried to persuade Zhao Feng.


    But suddenly, powerful Space energy erupted from Zhao Feng''s body, sealing off the surrounding space. Even the Second Elder felt some spatial suppression.


    You''re a half-step God Lord?" The Second Elder was stunned.


    Zhao Feng was already a half-step God Lord, and it was in Space Intent.


    Ordinary God Lords were already helpless against the Zhao Feng of the past, and now they were even more incapable. Even if Zhao Feng was no match, with his Level Nine Space Intent and his Time Law, escaping would be an easy task.


    In the end, the Second Elder agreed to allow Zhao Feng to go and assist the Giant God Race.


    "Elder, I entrust Yufei to you!" Before leaving, Zhao Feng was somewhat uneasy about leaving Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei had enormous potential, and if she was given ample time, she could rapidly mature. Zhao Yufei was currently in seclusion and Zhao Feng had not told her that he was leaving.


    Zhao Yufei did not have the strength to be of use in a battle between five-star factions. The Giant God Race was not safe at the moment, and the Spiritual Race would never let Zhao Yufei go anyway. In order to minimize problems, Zhao Feng decided to just go alone.


    "Zhao Feng, the Spiritual Race cannot send too many experts, but we can still send a few Rank Eight or Rank Nine Ancient Gods with you." The Second Elder was still somewhat uneasy.


    "There''s no need." Zhao Feng rejected the kindhearted offer from the Second Elder.


    If a God Lord was leading the team, the Spiritual Race would be able to arrive at the Chixing Zone a little faster, but bringing along some Rank Eights or Rank Nines would just slow him down.


    And Zhao Feng wasn''t going alone; he had many powerful helpers coming with him.


    In addition, if Zhao Feng went alone, he could use the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, allowing him to reach the Chixing Zone in very little time. He naturally couldn''t let outsiders know about this.


    All these factors played a part in Zhao Feng''s refusal.


    After leaving the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng went to a hidden and secluded area.


    One month later:


    Boom! Bzzzzz!


    The Ancestral Artifact fragment floated in the air, unleashing immense Time energy that linked with another enormous wave of energy. A few moments later, a path was formed.


    The Light Race''s Divine Kingdom was incredibly high-level and contained enormous amounts of energy. At this time, Twilight Valley had moved the Divine Kingdom over near the Ziling Zone and set up a path, and Zhao Feng was able to directly enter the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom.


    After entering the Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng would be able to get to the Chixing Zone even more quickly.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng jumped into the path.


    After a moment of spacetime discord, he appeared in the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s forbidden ground, next to the Tree of Time. An elder floated in front of him, his body made of flowing streams of light.


    "Senior Twilight Valley, many thanks!" Zhao Feng carefully examined Twilight Valley.


    If his guess was correct, Twilight Valley was currently a First Heaven God Lord, but he appeared to exude an unfathomable aura.


    "It wasn''t long since our last meeting, but you''re already a half-step God Lord!" Twilight Valley was rather surprised. Zhao Feng had left this place as a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    "I have the harvest from the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom to thank for that," Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    Zhao Feng spent the following period within the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, cultivating or honing himself in dangerous areas. Three months later, Twilight Valley created another path and sent Zhao Feng to the Chixing Zone, close to the Giant God Race''s location.


    There was an extremely dangerous forbidden ground of the Chixing Zone known as the Scorching Underworld. The world was shrouded in scolding red mist. Even a Rank Six True God that approached this place would be swiftly set upon by corrosive flame poison.


    The flame poison here was very special; not only did it invade the body, it also affected the soul.


    The farther one ventured, the stronger the flame poison became. Even Ancient Gods would be affected to a certain extent.


    One could occasionally spot giant pitch-black figures in the searing lava underground, each of them exuding dangerous blazing auras.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several figures were slowly traversing through the Scorching Underworld. Their leader was a tall and slender man with a cold and harsh expression. His body was immersed in a dark and ghostly fog that kept out the scorching poisonous mist.


    "Ah...!" A scream came from the back of the group.


    Several experts and Medicine Dao practitioners immediately went over.


    "They really know how to hide! To think that they would run to a place like this!" a Rank Nine Ancient God cursed.


    Ancient Soul Hall had mobilized almost the entire faction to find the Giant God Race, combing through almost every inch of the Chixing Zone.


    "Their struggles are about to end!" The leader, God Lord Evil Spirit, wickedly laughed.

 1436 Prompt Arrival

    Chapter 1436 - Prompt Arrival


    In the center of the Scorching Underworld, the flame poison mist was so thick that it seemed like waves surging through the world. In a certain place at the center of this dangerous place, a Divine Kingdom was hidden.


    The scene within the Divine Kingdom was completely different from the scene outside. This was a land of verdant hills and clear water, thriving with life. Many simple palace halls had been constructed in this vast land.


    The upper echelon members of Giant God Hall had gathered within a secret hall, isolated by an array.


    "Ancient Soul Hall has already discovered our hiding place. They will probably be here soon." A Rank Nine Ancient God elder sighed.


    "They still managed to find us, even though we were hiding here?" A muscular middle-aged man with the head of a bull grunted out.


    Many of the upper echelon members present were also confused by this.


    "Ancient Soul Hall has the backing of a mysterious faction." Seated on a raised platform, Xin Wuheng had an indifferent expression and a profound look in his eyes.


    Even now, he had only spoken of the Heaven''s Legacy Race to the Grand Elder. If the other members of the Giant God Race learned that Ancient Soul Hall was colluding with the 3rd ranked Heaven''s Legacy Race, they would probably lose the courage to fight back at all.


    One example of this was the bull-headed man. He was a half-step God Lord and the sect master of a peak four-star faction that had been recruited by the Giant God Race. If they knew of what they were facing, they presumably would not be helping the Giant God Race.


    "That''s right! And this faction probably isn''t a simple one!" Many of the members present voiced their approval.


    There was no doubt that the faction behind Ancient Soul Hall was a powerful one. Based on their intelligence reports, Ancient Soul Hall had recently been producing many high-ranked Ancient Gods and half-step God Lords. This was definitely related to the faction behind it.


    But that mysterious faction apparently did not dare to act too out in the open and only supported Ancient Soul Hall with resources.


    "Lord Wuheng, what should we do now?" the bull-headed man asked.


    Everyone else turned to Xin Wuheng. After all, he was the Hall Master of Giant God Hall and a God Lord.


    Currently, there were two paths before them. Defend or retreat!


    "The Scorching Underworld is extremely dangerous terrain, so we have a greater advantage in defending this place," Xin Wuheng calmly said.


    Ancient Soul Hall had already found them, so even if they retreated, they wouldn''t be able to run anywhere. If they defended this place, then with their preparations and the advantage of the environment, they could put up some fight against Ancient Soul Hall.


    "In addition, I''ve already sent a request for help to my friend. If he can bring a faction with him, he can attack from the outside and work together with us to catch Ancient Soul Hall off guard!" Xin Wuheng added.


    In truth, he had no confidence in this. Logically speaking, the Spiritual Race couldn''t possibly travel such a far distance to help out Giant God Hall. But by saying this, he could inspire more hope in the members of Giant God Hall.


    "Okay! For now, let''s send a small team of Ancient Gods to lay down an ambush in the Scorching Underworld so that we can disrupt and hinder the people of Ancient Soul Hall as much as possible!" the Grand Elder immediately ordered.


    Somewhere in the Scorching Underworld:


    "Disperse! Search for Giant God Hall''s exact location and lock down the area!" God Lord Evil Spirit called out.


    The Scorching Underworld was vast. In addition, the poisonous flame mist hindered Divine Sense and prevented one from flying at full speed.


    Whoosh!


    The Ancient Soul Hall team split into teams of three to four that scattered across the Scorching Underworld.


    This Giant God Race is truly irritating! It has no hope but insists on fighting against Ancient Soul Hall and even chose to hide in a forbidden ground like this. What a waste of time!" A slender and graceful woman of outstanding appearance grumbled.


    "Search carefully! If we discover where the Giant God Race is hiding, Ancient Soul Hall will richly reward us!" The leader, an azure-robed Rank Nine Ancient God, called out.


    At this moment, a weighty energy came down.


    Boom!


    Three figures shot out from deep underground. Their leader was none other than Ancient God Resplendence. She led from the front, her hands firing off chilling palms of Wind energy.


    The other two were Fire Dao cultivators. In this area, they could display greater strength than normal.


    "Hurry and defend!" the azure-robed Ancient God called out.


    He waved his hand, black Divine Power rapidly congealing into a black shield.


    The other two members grimaced as they took out divine artifacts and used defensive techniques.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The three of them working together barely managed to fend off the ambush from Giant God Hall.


    "Kill!" Ancient God Resplendence roared, charging forward as she activated her Giant God Race bloodline. The power of her attacks instantly swelled as they exploded against the defenses of the three Ancient Soul Hall members.


    "Get back!" the azure-robed Ancient God immediately ordered.


    In this sort of environment, the Giant God Race clearly had the upper hand. Besides, their objective was to find out where Giant God Hall was located. There was no need to fight with its members to the death.


    "Where are you going!?" Ancient God Resplendence flipped a hand, revealing an ancient metal array plate.


    She activated the array plate and tossed it out.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Countless Heaven''s Legacy Race words appeared on the plate as it exploded with Divine Power. Sixteen rays of white light shot out of the plate and instantly sealed the space around the three Ancient Soul Hall members.


    "Not good! It''s an array plate of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" The azure-robed Ancient God''s expression darkened.


    Once activated, the array plates of the Heaven''s Legacy Race could instantly from a simple Heaven''s Legacy array. This tool could be used by someone with only a simple understanding of Heaven''s Legacy arrays.


    "What a good thing! The Heaven''s Legacy Race tools Lord Wuheng obtained from the Ancestral Legacy Treasury are truly too formidable!" The eyes of the two Ancient Gods accompanying Ancient God Resplendence twinkled.


    Xin Wuheng had obtained a large number of items left behind by the Heaven''s Legacy Race from the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, distributing them among the Giant God Hall members to bolster their strength.


    "Kill!" Ancient God Resplendence led her two members charging into the array.


    The members of the Ancient Soul Hall faction were almost all Soul Dao experts, so they were more suppressed than most in this area. Meanwhile, Giant God Hall had many body-refining experts who had greater resistance to the flame poison mist. In addition, Giant God Hall had been hiding in this place for some time, its members occasionally going out to cultivate in the poisonous mist, further increasing their resistance.


    Within the sealing array, the parties of three on both sides had similar cultivations, but the battle was one-sided. Even so, it was still rather difficult for the three members of Giant God Hall to kill the entire enemy party.


    "First kill just one of them!" Ancient God Resplendence ordered, joining together with the other two to attack the woman.


    But at this moment, laughter rang out through the air. "Haha, remnants of Giant God Hall!"


    "Not good! Retreat!" Ancient God Resplendence immediately took back the Heaven''s Legacy array plate and prepared to retreat, in addition to sending a request for reinforcements.


    But then a powerful pressure descended. A thin and repulsive elder slowly emerged from the thick crimson mist.


    "How terrifying...." Ancient God Resplendence''s two team members shivered in fear, unable to move a single step. "Half-step God Lord!" Ancient God Resplendence''s face froze in panic.


    "Elder, capture them! Then we can interrogate them for the hiding place of Giant God Hall!" The azure-robed Ancient God smiled.


    "Naturally." The repulsive elder savagely smiled.


    But then a relaxed and carefree voice drifted out of the mist; "Finally found it."


    Whoosh!


    A silver-haired man flew out of the poisonous mist and toward the group.


    This person was naturally Zhao Feng. He had been deposited by Twilight Valley into the Scorching Underworld and had wasted half a day looking for the Giant God Race. Finally, he spotted Ancient God Resplendence.


    "Who is it?" The repulsive elder turned in shock to Zhao Feng. As a half-step God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall, he was skilled in the Soul Dao and possessed impressive sensory capabilities, but he had not noticed anyone in the vicinity just now.


    "Half-step God Lord?" The repulsive elder''s eyes turned grim. If this person was a half-step God Lord, it was reasonable for him to have failed to sense his approach in this searing poison mist.


    "Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Resplendence excitedly called out.


    The other two Giant God Hall members had clearly joined afterward, so they did not recognize Zhao Feng and were rather confused.


    But the azure-robed Ancient God''s pupils constricted while his body began to shiver.


    "How could this be? Why did this person appear here?!"


    Fear appeared on his face. He had followed God Lord Evil Spirit in the pursuit of the Giant God Race and had borne witness to Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng working together to defeat God Lord Evil Spirit. The strength Zhao Feng had displayed at the time far exceeded that of a typical half-step God Lord.


    If he remembered correctly, Zhao Feng was only Rank Nine at the time, but now, he was a half-step God Lord.


    "What are you afraid of? Even if he''s a half-step God Lord, we have six people on our side!" the beautiful woman disdainfully said.


    The ugly elder was also rather confused.


    "He''s Zhao Feng! Back then, he worked together with Xin Wuheng to defeat God Lord Evil Spirit!" The azure-robed Ancient God revealed what he knew.


    This caused the woman and the elder to grimace.


    In order to exchange blows with a God Lord, one had to at least be a top-class half-step God Lord. Otherwise, not even when working with Xin Wuheng would one be able to defeat God Lord Evil Spirit. But this only made the repulsive elder a little warier.


    If he had been told that Zhao Feng was only Rank Nine at the time, he would have taken to his heels by now.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s go now so that we don''t draw over even more members from Ancient Soul Hall!" Ancient God Resplendence looked imploringly at Zhao Feng.


    Their goal was to ambush enemies and heavily wound them while doing their utmost to avoid extended battles. If both sides were of similar levels of strength, they had to immediately flee.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng had also noticed quite a few members of Ancient Soul Hall upon his arrival, but he was able to travel through the Scorching Underworld completely undetected by others.


    "It''s not that easy to leave!" The repulsive elder coldly snorted.


    He waved his hand, releasing a gray and ghostly mist. Within this mist was a powerful Soul Beast.


    But at this moment, a strange energy descended. Everything in the world instantly began to move in slow motion, even the Soul Beast.


    "This... how?" The elder trembled in fear. Only now that Zhao Feng made his move did the elder realize just how dreadfully powerful the former was.


    But restrained by Time Intent, he could no longer escape.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng swiftly approached the elder and waved his palm. A powerful ball of Chaos Origin Divine Power emerged and entered the repulsive elder''s body. A moment later, the elder''s body shattered and distorted as it was devoured by a black hole.


    At the fifth level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, Chaos Origin Divine Power received a major boost in power. Moreover, Zhao Feng was approaching the peak of Level Eight in his Time Intent.


    This elder was merely an ordinary half-step God Lord. He was powerless to fight back.


    "Elder...!" The other Ancient Soul Hall members could only watch as the half-step God Lord was slain. Cold sweat appeared on their backs as fear began to dominate their minds.


    But they were too weak, practically rendered motionless by Zhao Feng''s Time Intent.


    Swoosh!


    Zhao Feng swiftly converted the Chaos Origin Divine Power in his hand into a broad Chaos Origin Divine Sword, killing all five in a single swing.


    "Let''s go. Take me to the Giant God Race," Zhao Feng called out after doing all this.


    Ancient God Resplendence and her two team members were frozen in shock, their eyes unfocused.

 1437 Controlling the Entire Situation

    Chapter 1437 - Controlling the Entire Situation


    Zhao Feng followed Ancient God Resplendence''s team to the center of the Scorching Underworld.


    The poisonous flame mist here was something that even Rank Eight Ancient Gods would find difficult to resist. Ancient God Resplendence''s team were able to get out under the protection of the array created by the Heaven''s Legacy array plate, but with Zhao Feng with them this time, they did not need to use the array.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    After they communicated with the Giant God Race''s Divine Kingdom, spatial ripples appeared in front of them, forming a dark yellow passage.


    Swish! Swish!


    Within the Divine Kingdom, countless experts flew out from the buildings, including Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder. There were also some half-step God Lords and peak Rank Nines that Zhao Feng had never seen before.


    It seems like the Giant God Race is developing rather well. They just need another one thousand years to be able to directly confront Ancient Soul Hall, Zhao Feng analyzed.


    But did his arrival necessitate all of the Giant God Race coming out to welcome him?


    "Zhao Feng, you''re here!" Xin Wuheng was the first to step forward.


    Although Zhao Feng had come alone, he originally imagined that, if the Spiritual Race wasn''t sending anyone, Zhao Feng wouldn''t be coming either. Seeing Zhao Feng coming to help him again was of great comfort to Xin Wuheng.


    And when he sensed Zhao Feng''s cultivation, he was both stunned and elated. He remembered that Zhao Feng was constantly able to challenge existences that were a level above him. Now that Zhao Feng was a half-step God Lord, he probably had the strength to fight against a typical God Lord.


    For the Giant God Race, a fighting power that could contend against a God Lord was extremely important.


    "He''s the reinforcements Lord Wuheng requested?"


    "Why is it only one person?"


    The other upper echelon members did not share the same view. They had mostly entered Giant God Hall afterward and did not know about Zhao Feng, much less that the Spiritual Race had just been through a major war.


    They originally held great hopes in the reinforcements that Xin Wuheng had spoken of. For only one person to show up was undoubtedly an immense psychological blow.


    "Lord Wuheng, your reinforcements consist of only one person. Even if we defend this place, we have no chance of victory!" The bull-headed middle-aged man glanced at Zhao Feng, shook his head, and sighed.


    "Ancient God Giant Devil is right! Our chances aren''t good!" Those who had joined Giant God Hall afterward all showed expressions of disappointment.


    "This friend of mine isn''t as simple as he seems. If he''s willing to help us, we don''t need any other reinforcements!" Xin Wuheng stood straight, his expression confident and unperturbed.


    He knew that Zhao Feng had powerful clones and an expert of the Destruction Dragon Race. Zhao Feng himself was also incredibly powerful.


    "Oh?" A strange light flashed in Ancient God Giant Devil''s eyes as he stared at Zhao Feng.


    Now that he looked carefully, he truly did notice that this person was unusual.


    However, he was still just one person. This was a war between two large factions. For a single person to have a large effect, one would have to be a top-class expert.


    "The Giant God Race is currently facing a problem, so why don''t we have Lord Wuheng''s good friend let us experience his capabilities!" a broad-faced elder immediately said, an expectant look on his face.


    "Zhao Feng, what do you think?" Xin Wuheng had a somewhat helpless expression.


    Zhao Feng had barely arrived, and some of the upper echelon members of Giant God Hall were already compelling him to join the battle. It was truly rather inappropriate.


    But the factions these upper echelon members belonged were bearing enormous risks in helping the Giant God Race. At this moment, if everyone believed that they were doomed, these factions who had joined late would probably surrender to Ancient Soul Hall. It was precisely because they cared about themselves and the survival of their factions that they would target Zhao Feng.


    "It''s fine. Just a trifling matter." Zhao Feng calmly agreed.


    After his previous experience in a war, Zhao Feng had come to regard war as an excellent opportunity for gathering resources.


    "Good! Then we will see how Good Sir does!" The group led by Ancient God Giant Devil couldn''t help but smile.


    In the face of a gruesome and cruel war, Zhao Feng had actually claimed that this was just a trifling matter.


    In their view, Zhao Feng was definitely a descendant of some Spiritual Race Elder, raised in and accustomed to luxury, all of his problems resolved by his seniors. This was the only explanation for such a brash statement.


    "Ancient Soul Hall has sent members into the Scorching Underworld, making their discovery of Giant God Hall only a matter of time. What Good Sir needs to do is to command the members of Giant God Hall to ambush and impede Ancient Soul Hall members within the Scorching Underworld." Ancient God Giant Devil explained the current situation and the mission to Zhao Feng.


    "Mm." Zhao Feng nodded.


    In truth, he had observed with his God''s Spiritual Eye while coming here the current situation and had already guessed at the Giant God Race''s current battle strategy: protect the Divine Kingdom and use the hostile environment to fight back against Ancient Soul Hall.


    This could weaken the Ancient Soul Hall while buying Giant God Hall time. If this continued for a long period of time, Giant God Hall might be able to fight properly against Ancient Soul Hall.


    This is a special message token of the Giant God Race. If you send your mind into it, you will be able to sense all the nearby Giant God Hall members holding tokens and also send them orders." The Grand Elder took out a simple dark yellow token and added, "If an enemy God Lord appears, notify me immediately!"


    "Brother Zhao, I will have to trouble you with this, but with the abilities of your eye-bloodline, this shouldn''t be hard." Xin Wuheng patted Zhao Feng''s soldiers. He had far more understanding of Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline than anyone else in Giant God Hall.


    After receiving this mission, Zhao Feng left the Divine Kingdom.


    "Heh, what''s so difficult about this?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Even without the special message token, he could sense the situation over a vast area.


    What he could see were mostly Rank Seven to Rank Nine Ancient Gods. There were a few peak Rank Nines and only three half-step God Lords.


    "Just some small skirmishes. I''ll leave it to you guys." Zhao Feng couldn''t build up any interest, so he called Zhao Kong, Zhao Wang, and Zhao Wan.


    Zhao Kong and Zhao Wan were both at almost peak Rank Nine while Zhao Wang was still at Rank Nine. Having the three of them move out would be enough for now.


    Moreover, Zhao Feng could share his vision with his clones and use them to increase his ability to command and control the situation.


    "I am currently your highest commander. These three clones are the same as me. Obey all their orders!" Zhao Feng used the special message token to transmit his own situation and his plan to all the Giant God Hall members in the Scorching Underworld.


    At a certain place, a buxom Giant God Race woman and two others were concealing themselves. The three of them received a message at the same time.


    "Who is this person? Why have I never seen him before?" The leader of the team of three was confused.


    "Zhao Feng!" the buxom woman called out.


    She was none other than the person who had gone with Ancient God Sundermount to find Zhao Feng at Black Devil Peak, Ancient God Stillmoon.


    "Who is Zhao Feng?" The team leader had entered Giant God Hall afterward and had never heard the name before.


    "He''s a good friend of Lord Wuheng. It seems like Lord Wuheng asked for his help." Ancient God Stillmoon messaged an explanation.


    At this moment, they heard a strange voice; "I found some members of Giant God Hall! Capture them alive!"


    "Strike!" the Giant God Hall team leader called out.


    Their idle conversation had caused them to be discovered by the enemy first.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two sides swiftly began to battle.


    Alas, the Ancient Soul Hall team had four people. Although they weren''t used to this area, they still had more fighting power than the three Giant God Hall members.


    At this moment, a faint Death energy began to rapidly approach.


    "Not good! Is it another Ancient Soul Hall member?" The team leader grimaced.


    "No, it''s one of the three people Zhao Feng mentioned just now!" Ancient God Stillmoon saw the newcomer''s face and rejoiced.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Wang''s eyes surged with sinister Death energy, and in the blink of an eye, he unleashed several Death Spears.


    Zhao Wang''s entry in the battlefield immediately turned the tides, his Death Intent causing the enemies to tremble in fear. In the end, two members of Ancient Soul Hall were slain while the other two fled with heavy injuries.


    "Change the ambush point!" Zhao Wang ordered, upon which he led Ancient God Stillmoon''s team away.


    The forces of the two factions frequently clashed within the Scorching Underworld. Anyone who got close to the Divine Kingdom would be marked by Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye.


    If any battle appeared to be going poorly, he would send Zhao Kong, Zhao Wan, or Zhao Wang as reinforcements. The three of them each had a supreme-quality divine artifact. As long as a half-step God Lord wasn''t present, they could turn the tides of battle and even take one or two lives.


    On this day, Ancient Soul Hall''s search operation was massively impeded, with their members sustaining heavy losses. _T11 leave this place to you for the moment." Zhao Feng handed the mission to his three clones.


    He found a separate place to enter the Spacetime Robe and cultivate.


    Swish!


    A dark gray stone appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, covered in feather carvings and thrumming with energy.


    This was the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone that he had won at the Divine Kingdom Auction. It could purify and strengthen the soul, even cause it to evolve.


    The Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone had the greatest effect on Rank Eight and Rank Nine Ancient Gods, capable of raising their souls by a whole level. But even if it could not increase the Soul Intent of half-step God Lords by a whole level, it could still provide a major boost.


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was already incredibly condensed and pure, far above that of an ordinary half-step God Lord. Once he used this stone, he was rather confident that he could raise his Soul Intent to the God Lord level. At that time, Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline techniques would be a major threat to even First Heaven God Lords.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    This thought made Zhao Feng circulate his soul energy and begin absorbing the essence of the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone.


    Besides the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone, Zhao Feng also had three Heaven Void God Origin Ginsengs. He had left one for himself, the second for Zhao Yufei, and the third for the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch.


    Long before that, the patriarch had already reached Level Nine in Fire Intent using the precious resources obtained from the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, becoming a half-step God Lord. This Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng could increase the chances of becoming a God Lord, but whether or not the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch could actually become a God Lord depended on him alone.


    He began to absorb the energy of the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone and focus his Soul Intent. During this process, Zhao Feng could still see what was going on outside through the message token or his three clones.


    Although he was no longer directly controlling the battlefield and the situation wasn''t as good as it was at the start, Giant God Hall still had an enormous advantage.


    At certain intervals, the situation in the Scorching Underworld would be relayed back to the Divine Kingdom.


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Giant Devil was flabbergasted. Even if Zhao Feng truly was somewhat capable, he couldn''t have possibly produced such astonishing results.


    Over the last few days, Ancient Soul Hall had suffered terrible losses. Even though more reinforcements had arrived from the rear, they still failed to penetrate into the heart of the Scorching Underworld.

 1438 The Will of a God Lord

    Chapter 1438 - The Will of a God Lord


    "How could this be?" Ancient God Giant Devil was flabbergasted.


    Even if Zhao Feng truly was somewhat capable, he couldn''t have possibly produced such astonishing results.


    Over the last few days, Ancient Soul Hall had suffered terrible losses. Even though more reinforcements had arrived from the rear, they still failed to penetrate into the heart of the Scorching Underworld.


    In contrast, the Giant God Hall members outside were getting stronger and stronger as they gained more experience and honed themselves through battle.


    "Lord Wuheng''s friend truly is extraordinary!"


    Some of the upper echelon members who had targeted Zhao Feng now smiled. After all, not only was Zhao Feng the hall master''s friend, he was also the real deal, rendering service for Giant God Hall.


    With Zhao Feng at the helm, Ancient Soul Hall''s search was unable to make any progress, and its numbers continued to fall.


    The Giant God Hall members rejoiced at this, and they utilized this time to cultivate and strengthen themselves to prepare for the greater war to come.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng was still cultivating with the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    A strange soul energy was constantly flowing out of the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone and into Zhao Feng''s soul body.


    By now, Zhao Feng had already absorbed the majority of the essence in the Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone. His soul was in the middle of constantly improving.


    At this moment, Zhao Wan sent a message.


    After the many losses it had suffered, Ancient Soul Hall changed strategies. It decreased the number of teams and increased the number of members in each team. Four teams had been discovered up until now, three of them led by half-step God Lords.


    In this situation, Giant God Hall needed to form equally strong teams. Otherwise, they would not be able to do anything.


    The three of you will each lead a team...." Zhao Feng transmitted his plan.


    The Black Destruction Dragon, which was currently cultivating in the Spacetime Robe, suddenly opened its eyes.


    "You just reached peak Rank Nine. Go out and temper yourself!" Zhao Feng''s soul voice resounded in the Black Destruction Dragon''s mind.


    "Yes, Master!" The Black Destruction Dragon''s eyes surged with dark flames. Slaughter and destruction were the greatest joys for the Destruction Dragon Race.


    In the Scorching Underworld, the Giant God Hall members had formed three teams, each led by one of Zhao Feng''s clones.


    "Although we had the advantage in the previous clashes, if we continue to use this method to fight against Ancient Soul Hall, our chances of victory will fall."


    The greater the numbers, the harder it was to lay an ambush. The side that would benefit from this way of fighting was Ancient Soul Hall.


    "Leader, what''s our battle strategy?" Quite a few members of the team were confused.


    With too many people, it would be much more difficult to heavily injure the enemy. And if they were no match for the enemy, it would also be more difficult to run. In short, they all thought that this new strategy was extremely disadvantageous.


    "Don''t ask any more questions. Begin the operation!" Zhao Kong led his team into the distance.


    After traveling for some time, they encountered an Ancient Soul Hall team.


    "Kill!" Zhao Kong directly ordered.


    "What? Leader, that team has a half-step God Lord! In terms of overall strength, it''s stronger than ours!" a Rank Nine Ancient God immediately said.


    He originally believed that Zhao Kong had some brilliant plan, but it turned out to be just attacking any enemy they came across.


    But there was no going back now, as there were too many people to just turn around and run.


    "Hmph, remnants of Giant God Hall, die!" A gray-robed elder of Ancient Soul Hall wickedly chuckled as he led his team forward.


    "I''ll have a match with you!" Zhao Kong went to face this half-step God Lord.


    Swooosh!


    A silver-red sword appeared in his hand, which he thrust forward again and again, creating a net of sword images.


    This silver-red sword was one of the spoils Zhao Feng had obtained from the war with the Blazing Gold Race. It contained Space Intent and Fire Intent, so he gave it to Zhao Kong.


    "Hmph, a petty trick!" The gray-robed elder waved both palms, creating a giant palm made of roiling black clouds that collided with the net of sword images.


    "Extreme Space Slash!" Zhao Kong''s Eyes of Spacetime flashed with starry silver light as they thrummed with powerful Spacetime energy.


    His Eyes of Spacetime were unusual in that they were already close to the Quasi God Eye level. This was precisely why he was the strongest of Zhao Feng''s clones.


    Whoosh!


    An unreal silver blade formed in front of Zhao Kong, and then it blinked away, next appearing right in front of the gray- robed elder.


    "Mm? What powerful Spacetime energy!" The gray-robed elder was startled.


    For someone of Zhao Kong''s cultivation to use such a powerful attack was truly unusual.


    But the gray-robed elder was still a half-step God Lord, and he vastly exceeded the Rank Nine Zhao Kong in many aspects.


    Boom!


    Divine Power exploded out of his body, forming a wall of black energy that blocked Zhao Kong''s attack. The gray-robed elder then swiftly commenced with his counterattack.


    In the face of a full-force attack from a half-step God Lord, even Zhao Kong could only dodge.


    "Leader, the situation isn''t good. What do we do?" a Rank Nine Ancient God worriedly asked.


    "Hmph, the ones in trouble are them." Zhao Kong coldly sneered.


    Boom!


    At this moment, a calamitous energy that desired to destroy all suddenly descended. The bloodlines on both sides inexplicably trembled in fear.


    Thwish!


    A black-scaled man appeared before everyone.


    "Haha, just a disorderly mob! All of you, tremble beneath the flames of the Destruction Dragon Race!"


    The moment the Black Destruction Dragon appeared, it shot toward the gray-robed elder.


    "Reinforcements!" The Giant God Hall members sighed in relief upon seeing this.


    "No... this bloodline energy! Could it be the Destruction Dragon Race?" The gray-robed elder''s face froze in fear.


    The Destruction Dragon Race was one of the mythical top ten ancient races!


    "Spacetime Shackle!" Zhao Kong was apparently ready, and his eyes immediately unleashed supreme Spacetime energy.


    Suddenly, this powerful Spacetime energy formed a barrier around the gray-robed elder and sealed him within. Even inside his body, the gray-robed elder was suppressed by Spacetime energy.


    "Break for me!" The elder erupted with all his Divine Power, and the Spacetime energy around him became disorderly and showed signs of cracking.


    But at this moment, the Black Destruction Dragon arrived.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!" The Black Destruction Dragon''s arms transformed into black dragons that hurtled forward. Boom! Bang!


    The gray-robed elder was sent flying by the Black Destruction Dragon, vomiting blood as his body crashed toward the ground.


    Thwish! Thwish!


    Zhao Kong and the Black Destruction Dragon immediately pursued. Both of them took out supreme-quality divine artifacts and beat down on the gray-robed elder. Incapable of countering, the elder was swiftly slain.


    After all, this gray-robed elder was an extremely mediocre half-step God Lord while the Black Destruction Dragon contained the mythical blood of the 9th ranked race. It possessed incredible offensive capabilities and could challenge opponents above its level. Given that it also had the help of Zhao Kong, it was not unreasonable for the gray-robed elder to be killed.


    With the death of the half-step God Lord, the remaining members of the Ancient Soul Hall team lost any ability to fight back. In the end, more than half of the Ancient Soul Hall team was killed, with the survivors scattering.


    In the Ancient Soul Hall base within the Scorching Underworld:


    Damn, how did this happen!?" God Lord Evil Spirit''s expression was savage and seething with rage.


    Ancient Soul Hall had lost every clash with Giant God Hall up until now, and the other side hadn''t even used any halfstep God Lords. This left God Lord Evil Spirit feeling utterly humiliated.


    The Ancient God experts of Ancient Soul Hall around him were trembling in fear.


    "In the previous clashes, it was primarily the three God Eye descendants who had outstanding performances and frequently defeated teams from our faction. But now, a Destruction Dragon Race expert has suddenly appeared!" A half-step God Lord reported the newest intelligence.


    Given what they knew from the previous clashes between the two factions, they could see that these three God Eye descendants and the Destruction Dragon Race expert had only very recently appeared.


    Destruction Dragon Race!?


    The mention of this race had all the members shivering.


    "In addition, all four of them have supreme-quality divine artifacts!" another person added.


    "What?" God Lord Evil Spirit was taken aback.


    The three God Eye descendants and the Destruction Dragon who had suddenly appeared were already strange enough. He even suspected that some powerful faction was helping Giant God Hall from the shadows. And now that he knew that they all had supreme-quality divine artifacts, he was even more sure of this theory.


    But even so, could the faction behind the Giant God Hall be as powerful as the faction behind theirs?


    I''ll personally take action and find out where these people came from, God Lord Evil Spirit quietly said to himself.


    The reason he had not taken action previously was that he was the only God Lord present. If he recklessly took action and ended up surrounded by the God Lords of Giant God Hall, the losses would be even worse.


    But now, he was determined to take action and investigate the matter for himself. Nothing would be better than running into those three God Eye descendants or the Destruction Dragon. By capturing them, he could not only obtain precious information but also a supreme-quality divine artifact.


    Within the Spacetime Robe:


    Cling! Crack!


    The Heavensoul Featherspirit Stone in front of Zhao Feng suddenly crumbled into powder.


    His Soul Intent was still in an unreal and illusory state. Gradually, Zhao Feng''s Soul intent began to expand and break free from his body, escaping the bounds of the Spacetime Robe Dimension and fusing into the even larger world beyond.


    Swish!


    The world slightly trembled, and an occasional peal of thunder could be heard.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent exceeded all, seeming to become a representative for the heavens and earth. Brrrooom!


    The searing poisonous mist fell into turmoil, further increasing the danger of the Scorching Underworld. The people traveling through the Scorching Underworld immediately stopped and put all their efforts into resisting the flame poison.


    Kaboom!


    A will that could shake the world seemed to break through a barrier, exuding an inextinguishable pressure that could suppress all things.


    At this moment, the countless creatures living in a radius of a hundred thousand-some li felt like their souls were struck by a lightning bolt, that immense will causing all of them to drop down and bow.


    Within Giant God Hall''s Divine Kingdom:


    "Mm? The Will of a God Lord?" Xin Wuheng immediately opened his eyes.


    Swish! Swish!


    In the surrounding halls, several powerful Ancient Gods and half-step God Lords flew out with solemn expressions.


    "Could Ancient Soul Hall have produced another God Lord?" The Grand Elder was greatly concerned.


    This God Lord Will had come from outside. It was definitely because a new God Lord had emerged within Ancient Soul Hall!


    The others thought the same, and this was undoubtedly a severe blow to the Giant God Race''s morale. Giant God Hall had far fewer God Lords than Ancient Soul Hall, and if Ancient Soul Hall had another God Lord...


    "That''s not for certain...." Xin Wuheng muttered to himself, a silver-haired figure emerging in his mind.


    At this moment, the God Lord Will that had so suddenly appeared began to slowly recede.

 1439 Fighting and Killing a God Lord

    Chapter 1439 - Fighting and Killing a God Lord


    Somewhere in the Scorching Underworld, God Lord Evil Spirit was just in the middle of preparing to conceal himself and investigate the three God Eye descendants and the Destruction Dragon when he felt something.


    "A God Lord Will?" Suddenly, God Lord Evil Spirit raised his head in consternation. He could keenly sense that distant God Lord Will.


    "Could Giant God Hall have produced another God Lord?" God Lord Evil Spirit was startled.


    But if this was true, Giant God Hall should have hidden this God Lord to serve as a trump card that could be taken out during the main war to catch their enemies off guard. It shouldn''t have been so flagrantly revealed like this.


    "Who''s there?" God Lord Evil Spirit suddenly sensed something and turned around.


    "God Lord Evil Spirit, you''ve truly gotten bold to dare and venture in alone!" A pitch-black figure slowly emerged from the void.


    "God Lord Gloomheaven!" God Lord Evil Spirit was delighted.


    Almost all the matters of Ancient Soul Hall, big or small, were handled by God Lord Gloomheaven, and God Lord Gloomheaven was much stronger than he was.


    "You must have sensed it as well; that sudden God Lord Will," God Lord Evil Spirit called out.


    "Mm. Let¡¯s go and take a look together. We can also use this chance to test the strength of Giant God Hall!" God Lord Gloomheaven''s eyes darkened.


    He had just arrived but already knew some of the basics about the situation. However, now there was a new God Lord Will in Giant God Hall.


    If they first gathered some information, it would be easier to deal with the threat when the time came. Thus, he decided to follow God Lord Evil Spirit and secretly investigate the enemy. Even if they were discovered by Giant God Hall, they could just immediately withdraw.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, with his Soul Intent having reached the God Lord level, Zhao Feng quickly withdrew his power, using this newfound strength to stabilize his cultivation.


    With this level of Soul Intent, he became much more proficient in the application of his various kinds of energy.


    Several days later, Zhao Feng ended his seclusion.


    At this moment, he had completely stabilized his cultivation at the half-step God Lord level, raising his overall strength by yet another level. Zhao Feng could also sense that the God''s Spiritual Eye had changed somewhat with the breakthrough in his Soul Intent.


    Swish!


    After leaving the Spacetime Robe''s dimension, he used his God''s Spiritual Eye to observe the situation in the Scorching Underworld.


    "Eh?" Zhao Feng softly gasped.


    He barely activated his left eye when he discovered that the eye-bloodline energy of the God''s Spiritual Eye had received a major boost. This was clearly something that had been brought about by the God Lord Will.


    This boost even made his left eye feel somewhat like it was about to burst. He vaguely sensed that the Origin energy in his left eye had reached an unprecedented tipping point.


    "Ancient Soul Hall God Lords!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused on two blurry figures at the very edge of his vision.


    The team led by Zhao Wan was nearby, so Zhao Feng immediately had them retreat. Even with Zhao Wan''s extraordinary strength and supreme-quality divine artifact, he would still be killed in less than a second by a God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall.


    Swish!


    A yellow token appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand, which he used to send over this information.


    Meanwhile, God Lord Evil Spirit and God Lord Gloomheaven had concealed their auras and were slowly making their way through the Scorching Underworld.


    "Something doesn''t feel right." God Lord Gloomheaven''s expression darkened. They had not encountered any ambush or trails throughout their journey.


    God Lord Evil Spirit nodded. Every God Lord possessed immense experience, and he could tell that there was something off about this situation.


    But there were no God Lords on this battlefield. How could an ordinary Ancient God see through their concealment methods? Even if a God Lord used their Divine Sense and noticed them, they should have been able to notice the enemy as well.


    "Let''s retreat!" God Lord Gloomheaven suddenly had an uneasy feeling.


    But he barely finished speaking when two powerful God Lord auras exploded, causing the red mists of the Scorching Underworld to churn and roil.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Three figures were rapidly making their way to God Lord Gloomheaven and God Lord Evil Spirit.


    "Now that you''re here, there''s no need to go back!" the Grand Elder called out, his expression solemn.


    "Not good! We really were discovered!" God Lord Evil Spirit grimaced.


    But he was still confused over how Giant God Hall had managed to notice the two of them.


    Yellow Heavens, Solid Earth!" The Grand Elder''s body surged with Divine Power as he unleashed his formidable Law of Earth.


    Kaboom!


    The world quaked and turned dark. Immense weight pressed down on the two Ancient Soul Hall God Lords, causing their bodies to sink down and their speed to drop.


    Boom!


    The Grand Elder waved his right hand. The ground trembled, and then a dark red mountain erupted from the earth and collided with the Ancient Soul Hall God Lords.


    "Retreat!" God Lord Gloomheaven called out.


    The two of them were both First Heaven God Lords while Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder both stood among the very best First Heaven God Lords. Moreover, this place was still the territory of Giant God Hall.


    The two of them immediately harnessed the power of their Laws to resist the Grand Elder''s pressure.


    "Bone-Devouring Ghost Claw!" God Lord Evil Spirit called out, unleashing countless black-robed skeleton spirits from his robes.


    The countless evil spirits extended their claws, forming a massive sinister ghost claw that tore at the mountain breaking out of the earth.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The claw and mountain were both pulverized. After blocking the first attack, the two of them prepared to retreat.


    But Xin Wuheng''s attack chose this moment to arrive.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Two massive palms made of five-colored light descended with a momentum that could obliterate all in their path. The sliver of Fire Law in the attack immediately drew in all the Fire energy in the world, bolstering its power.


    "Xin Wuheng''s strength is also far greater than ours!" God Lord Gloomheaven''s eyes darkened.


    In addition, Xin Wuheng''s sliver of Fire Law gave him an advantage in this battlefield.


    God Lord Evil Spirit immediately activated the white bone necklace around his neck. This was a supreme-quality defensive divine artifact. In a flash of light, it created layers of bone walls in front of him.


    Brrrooom!


    Xin Wuheng''s attack crashed into God Lord Evil Spirit''s defensive divine artifact. The layers of bone walls began to crack and crumble and were ultimately pulverized.


    But Xin Wuheng''s attack had also been severely weakened. The remnants of the attack were easily blocked by the two God Lords.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" Zhao Feng''s left eye pulsed with Eye Intent, the Chaos Origin Divine Power within transforming into two Chaos Origin Divine Swords.


    But at this moment, he felt a swelling pain from his eye. The dreamy silver ball in his God Eye Dimension trembled as if it had reached its limit, unable to tolerate the Origin energy within.


    Thwish! Thwish!


    Two miniature Chaos Origin Divine Swords erupted toward the two enemy God Lords, devouring the energy in their path and getting stronger and stronger.


    "Mm? What powerful energy!" The Grand Elder was taken aback as he gazed at those two small Chaos Origin Divine Swords.


    "This kid... hurry and dodge! His attack isn''t as simple as it looks!" God Lord Gloomheaven immediately recognized Zhao Feng and grimaced as he spoke.


    In their eyes, Zhao Feng was only a half-step God Lord, and given that they were focused on escaping, they had not paid Zhao Feng much attention. But Zhao Feng suddenly using such a powerful eye-bloodline technique caused God Lord Gloomheaven to take Zhao Feng much more seriously.


    Whoosh!


    Those two Chaos Origin Divine Swords moved with incredible speed and also had the power of Time Intent, so they were able to instantly cross the distance.


    "Ah...!" God Lord Evil Spirit screamed as a hole appeared in his chest, black blood pouring out.


    The other Chaos Origin Divine Sword only swept past God Lord Gloomheaven''s shoulder.


    "Eh? Just now..." God Lord Gloomheaven was alarmed as he broke out in a cold sweat.


    Under the weight of the Grand Elder''s pressure and the effects of Time Intent, it should have been impossible for him to dodge, but Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique failed to hit him.


    "It was off?" Zhao Feng also creased his brow.


    He was sure now that his Soul Intent reaching the God Lord level had increased the power of his God''s Spiritual Eye and boosted the power of his eye-bloodline technique, allowing them to deal severe damage to a God Lord. But while using eye-bloodline techniques, he would feel discomfort in his left eye that caused him to make mistakes like this.


    But in the eyes of Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder, it was already incredible enough for Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique to injure God Lord Evil Spirit. Perhaps this was Zhao Feng''s killing move, so it was normal for him to not be able to control it that well.


    "Kill!"


    "Ancient Soul Hall God Lords! Kill them!"


    At this moment, three half-step God Lords from Giant God Hall''s Divine Kingdom arrived.


    "Furious Heaven Slash!" A savage black axe appeared in Ancient God Giant Devil''s hand. Swinging it, he created an axe of black energy that was several thousand feet long and possessed a domineering momentum.


    The other two half-step God Lords used their own powerful moves to surround and kill the two Ancient Soul Hall God Lords.


    "Retreat!" God Lord Gloomheaven frantically said.


    With the arrival of the half-step God Lords of Giant God Hall, the situation had gotten even worse.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    God Lord Gloomheaven immediately activated a secret art. His body twinkled with black energy as he shot through the air with incredible speed.


    God Lord Evil Spirit also began to use a secret art so that he could escape.


    "Spacetime Seal!" Zhao Feng focused his left eye on God Lord Evil Spirit and sent out a wave of formidable Spacetime energy.


    In a flash, layers of unreal energy descended on God Lord Evil Spirit. His thoughts and movements slowed down, and he was not able to use his secret art in time.


    Nice!" The Giant God Hall forces rejoiced.


    "Giant God Finger!" Xin Wuheng immediately circulated his bloodline energy and thrust out a finger.


    Boom! Bang!


    Under the effects of the Spacetime energy, God Lord Evil Spirit had a much slower reaction time, causing him to be flung away several li by Xin Wuheng''s attack.


    "God Lord Evil Spirit...!" God Lord Gloomheaven turned his head and shouted.


    But God Lord Evil Spirit had already been completely surrounded by the members of Giant God Hall, giving him little hope of escaping. And another batch of peak Rank Nine experts was arriving from the Divine Kingdom of Giant God Hall. If God Lord Gloomheaven went back, he would also have little chance of surviving.


    God Lord Gloomheaven clenched his teeth and decided to retreat alone.


    "Ancient Soul Hall God Lord, die!" The Giant God Hall members sealed off God Lord Evil Spirit''s paths of retreat and launched an endless barrage of attacks.


    "No...!" God Lord Evil Spirit''s body was in tatters as he howled in despair.


    In the face of two top-class First Heaven God Lords in Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder, he had no chance of escaping.


    "If I''m going to die, I''m bringing you with me!" God Lord Evil Spirit''s eyes seethed with loathing as he decided to self- detonate.


    "He''s going to self-detonate!" Zhao Feng called out upon noticing that God Lord Evil Spirit was going to self-detonate.


    Xin Wuheng grimaced and immediately fired off a palm of five-colored energy to force God Lord Evil Spirit back several li.


    "Divine Earth Suppression!" The Grand Elder brought his palms together, harnessing his Law of Earth.


    Boom!


    A massive sheet of golden earth appeared above God Lord Evil Spirit and descended over him. God Lord Evil Spirit was under immense pressure in this zone of golden earth, and his serious injuries made him incapable of resisting.


    "Underworld Thorn!" Dark red and scorching spikes shot out of the ground and pierced through God Lord Evil Spirit''s body.


    "Die!" Finally, Xin Wuheng unleashed a powerful palm and obliterated God Lord Evil Spirit''s soul.


    "Haha, Ancient Soul Hall lost a God Lord!"


    "How reckless! With only two God Lords, they dared to come close to Giant God Hall?"


    The Giant God Hall members were celebrating.


    Before the war had even fully begun, the Ancient Soul Hall God Lords had made a terrible error, allowing one of their number to be killed by Giant God Hall. The gap in strength between the two sides was made even smaller.


    "We owe much of this to Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Giant Devil''s face had a ruddy glow as he firmly gazed at Zhao Feng.


    If not for Zhao Feng noticing the enemy without being noticed himself, allowing him to notify the God Lords of Giant God Hall, they would have found it very difficult to kill an enemy God Lord.


    Ancient God Giant Devil had targeted Zhao Feng before, but this was because too many lives were at stake in this war. Now, however, Zhao Feng had yet again rendered great service. He was expressing his gratitude this time as an apology for his previous conduct.

 1440 Full-Scale War

    Chapter 1440 - Full-Scale War


    "We owe much of this to Zhao Feng!" Ancient God Giant Devil''s face had a ruddy glow as he firmly gazed at Zhao Feng.


    If not for Zhao Feng noticing the enemy without being noticed himself, allowing him to notify the God Lords of Giant God Hall, they would have found it very difficult to kill an enemy God Lord.


    But no one knew just how Zhao Feng managed to accomplish this.


    "Zhao Feng, many thanks for your coming to assist Giant God Hall!"


    "You''ve yet again rendered a great service!"


    Those upper echelon members who did not have a good impression of Zhao Feng before began to express their thanks.


    The Giant God Hall members all returned to the Divine Kingdom. Even though they had killed a God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall, Ancient Soul Hall was still overall much stronger than Giant God Hall. Moreover, once they left the Scorching Underworld, Ancient Soul Hall would no longer be suppressed by the environment, leaving Giant God Hall in a much worse situation. Thus, they did not continue the pursuit.


    Upon returning to the Giant God Race''s Divine Kingdom, the exciting news was spread to all the other members.


    "Our side killed a God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall!?"


    "Wonderful!"


    The war hadn''t even fully begun yet, but Ancient Soul Hall had already lost a God Lord. This made all the Giant God Hall members feel like there was a chance at victory.


    Now that he was back at Giant God Hall''s Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng went to find Nan Gongsheng and Kun Yun.


    The two of them had both greatly improved since their last meeting. Nan Gongsheng was at Rank Eight while Kun Yun was a Rank Five True God. Besides cultivation, the two of them had also experienced a large shift in personality. As expected, danger and battles could stimulate a warrior''s potential and make them even more powerful.


    But Giant God Hall had little chance of winning the coming war, and even if they did, victory was certain to be an extremely bitter one.


    He once more gave his two friends several life-protecting objects in the hopes that they could survive through the war.


    Meanwhile, God Lord Gloomheaven immediately led the Ancient Soul Hall forces to the perimeter of the Scorching Underworld upon his return.


    "Ah, to think things would turn out like this!" God Lord Gloomheaven sorrowfully sighed, somewhat blaming himself. If he had stopped God Lord Evil Spirit back then, the situation would not have turned out like this.


    Five days later, another God Lord from Ancient Soul Hall arrived.


    "God Lord Gloomheaven, what''s going on here?" This short elder sensed that something was wrong.


    "God Lord Ghost Centipede, the situation is like this..." God Lord Gloomheaven explained everything that had happened.


    God Lord Ghost Centipede was the Grand Elder of Ancient Soul Hall and a top-class existence among First Heaven God Lords.


    "What?" God Lord Ghost Centipede''s face twisted in rage.


    The bitter defeat in the clash of Ancient Gods was understandable, as it only meant that Giant God Hall had the advantage in terrain. But God Lord Gloomheaven and God Lord Evil Spirit had ventured alone into the center of enemy territory and ended up being discovered by Giant God Hall, thus causing God Lord Evil Spirit''s death? No matter what, the blame for this clearly rested on the two of them.


    This had caused Ancient Soul Hall to lose a God Lord!


    God Lords were the supreme fighting forces of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. A single God Lord required a vast amount of time and energy to raise. And now, Ancient Soul Hall had lost a God Lord, and lost it to Giant God Hall. How could God Lord Ghost Centipede not be angry?!


    But no matter how angry he was, there was nothing that could be done about this situation.


    Another month passed.


    "Why hasn''t Hall Master come yet?" God Lord Gloomheaven found this rather strange. The Ancient Soul Hall Master had told him that he would only need half a month to arrive.


    He barely finished speaking when a heavy energy suddenly descended, causing the temperature of the Scorching Underworld to drop significantly.


    Swish!


    A pitch-black mist manifested in mid-air, and within was an indistinct black figure.


    "What''s the situation?" the Ancient Soul Hall Master glanced at God Lord Gloomheaven and coldly asked.


    He had arrived half a month later than he had said. This was primarily because various matters had delayed him on the road. Even he found it strange that he would encounter so many mishaps. As a Second Heaven God Lord, he sensed that something strange was going on.


    "The situation is disastrous...." God Lord Gloomheaven spoke in a very soft tone as he explained the situation.


    "What?! God Lord Evil Spirit is dead?!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master''s furious voice resounded like thunder.


    The entire world seemed to grow dark as all living beings in a radius of several hundred thousand li dropped to the ground and trembled. Even God Lord Gloomheaven felt extremely uncomfortable under the pressure of the Ancient Soul Hall Master''s energy.


    "Hall Master, forgive me!" God Lord Gloomheaven immediately begged for mercy.


    Their hall master had a rather short temper. If the hall master were to lash out in anger, he would be the one who suffered.


    "Hall Master, it was not entirely God Lord Gloomheaven''s fault. I sense that there is something strange about Giant God Hall!" God Lord Ghost Centipede stepped forward and commented.


    But he was also speaking the truth. In normal circumstances, Ancient Soul Hall would never have lost so badly in the small skirmishes, but in reality, Ancient Soul Hall had suffered a crushing defeat.


    "Hmph!" Under the persuasions of God Lord Ghost Centipede, the Ancient Soul Hall Master somewhat calmed.


    If these were normal circumstances, he would have severely punished God Lord Gloomheaven. But now was not the time; if God Lord Gloomheaven was rendered incapable of fighting, they would have even more trouble dealing with Giant God Hall.


    "Hall Master, although I made a grave error, we also succeeded in learning some secrets of Giant God Hall!" God Lord Gloomheaven coldly sweated as he spoke.


    "Talk," the Ancient Soul Hall Master absentmindedly said.


    He also had some understanding of Giant God Hall''s secrets. In his view, Giant God Hall had no chance of victory. But in this short clash, Ancient Soul Hall had suffered severe losses. This made him wonder just how Giant God Hall had managed to do this.


    "Not long ago, I sensed a newly-emerged God Lord Will near Giant God Hall, but during the battle, Giant God Hall only sent two God Lords - Giant God Hall''s Grand Elder and Xin Wuheng!" God Lord Gloomheaven had a stern expression. "As for the upper echelon members, Giant God Hall is naturally far inferior to us. Based on my estimation, we have six more half-step God Lords than they do!"


    "A new God Lord Will?" The Ancient Soul Hall Master was startled. He didn''t care about the rest of what was said, but a single God Lord could have a large effect on this war. If they incorrectly estimated the God Lord strength of the enemy side, they would suffer dire consequences.


    "Even if Giant God Hall has a new God Lord, they wouldn''t be able to last long against old God Lords like us," God Lord Ghost Centipede slowly said.


    Although God Lord Evil Spirit was dead, Ancient Soul Hall still had three God Lords. And Giant God Hall only had two God Lords previously. Even a new God Lord would only even the numbers.


    In both God Lords and upper echelon members, Giant God Hall was inferior to Ancient Soul Hall.


    "Hall Master, when will we attack?" God Lord Gloomheaven asked.


    "Wait until all our forces are gathered. I want to exterminate Giant God Hall in a single swoop!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master''s eyes coldly gleamed. When he personally took action, he would always crush his foe with overwhelming strength.


    Half a month later, the Ancient Soul Hall Master who had entered seclusion suddenly opened his eyes, took out a message token, and studied the information within.


    You''re finally here!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master stood up and exited seclusion.


    "Attack! Destroy Giant God Hall!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master''s chilling and tyrannical voice resounded through the world, causing the temperature of the Scorching Underworld to drop several degrees.


    Elsewhere in the Scorching Underworld, two figures were having a leisurely stroll.


    "You are sure that Yu Heng died at the hands of Giant God Hall?" a white-haired middle-aged man asked.


    Next to him was a tall old man, his body covered in ancient tattoos. His white beard extended to the ground while his hand gripped a silver cane, and his eyes were like the vast starry sky. This old man was none other than God Lord Stellar Aspect.


    "Although this old man was unable to determine just which person Heng''er died to, this old man was able to conclude that Heng''er did not encounter a God Lord level expert in the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom." God Lord Stellar Aspect''s eyes were extremely grim.


    He placed a great deal of blame on himself for Yu Heng''s death. He was Yu Heng''s master and a Second Heaven God Lord, but he had allowed Yu Heng, a holder of the Ancient Race bloodline, to die. And he didn''t even know how Yu Heng died.


    Thus, God Lord Stellar Aspect''s primary goal this time was to find out how Yu Heng died. The war between Ancient Soul Hall and Giant God Hall was secondary.


    Yu Heng had possessed twenty to thirty percent of the Ancient Race''s bloodline power, making him capable of even fighting an ordinary God Lord. But in the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, Yu Heng had not encountered a God Lord, yet he still died. If it wasn''t a God Lord, just who would have the skill to kill Yu Heng with his Ancient Race bloodline?


    Moreover, only the members of Giant God Hall had entered the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, so they were most likely to be the killers.


    "I will definitely identify the murderer and avenge Heng''er!" God Lord Stellar Aspect''s eyes turned cold and harsh.


    In the Giant God Hall Divine Kingdom:


    The Ancient Soul Hall Master has already arrived, and they''ve gathered most of their forces. They''ll probably begin their attack soon!" The Grand Elder was very concerned.


    Although they had killed an Ancient Soul Hall God Lord earlier, Giant God Hall was still much weaker overall.


    "If we put all our energy into protecting this place, we still have some hope!" Ancient God Giant Devil sternly said.


    In a direct confrontation, Giant God Hall was bound to suffer a bitter defeat, but if they fought defensively, they still had hope.


    At this moment, the entire Giant God Hall Divine Kingdom trembled.


    "Ancient Soul Hall is coming!" Xin Wuheng grimaced as he charged out.


    All the other members of Giant God Hall began to move, leaving the Divine Kingdom.


    Right after leaving, they could see the members of Ancient Soul Hall all around them.


    In terms of numbers, Ancient Soul Hall seemed to be outnumbered. But this was only because the weakest member of the Ancient Soul Hall army at the center of the Scorching Underworld was a Rank Six Ancient God. They had the smaller army, but they were all high-ranked experts, their total strength far surpassing Giant God Hall''s.


    "Keke, Giant God Hall has developed rather well!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master wickedly chuckled as he jeered.


    The moment he saw Giant God Hall''s army, he completely relaxed.


    The members of Giant God Hall turned glum. Their members beneath the Ancient God level could only remain safe under the protection of the high-ranked Ancient Gods.


    "Kill!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master gave the order.


    All the experts of Ancient Soul Hall charged forward.


    "Activate the hall-protecting array!" Xin Wuheng called out.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Countless white rays of light shot out from underground, forming an extremely complicated array.


    Kaboom!


    A barrier made of countless words and inscriptions gradually formed, enclosing all the Giant God Hall members within it. Four dark yellow sculptures appeared on the four sides of this barrier, gripping saber, sword, spear, and cudgel, all parts of their bodies covered with the mysterious words of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    Everyone within the array was now free from the effects of the poisonous flame mist.


    Xin Wuheng had obtained this array from the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom. After some modifications, he was able to activate it as he pleased.


    "As expected, a Heaven''s Legacy Race array." The Ancient Soul Hall Master was not very surprised.


    This was because God Lord Stellar Aspect had told him of all the possible trump cards Giant God Hall might possess.

 1441 All-Out Mobilization

    Chapter 1441 - All-Out Mobilization


    "As expected, a Heaven''s Legacy Race array." The Ancient Soul Hall Master was not very surprised.


    This was because God Lord Stellar Aspect had told him of all the possible trump cards Giant God Hall might possess. God Lord Stellar Aspect had also predicted the appearance of this Heaven''s Legacy Race array.


    Even with this array, Giant God Hall was still unable to contend with Ancient Soul Hall, so the Ancient Soul Hall Master was not worried.


    "Kill!" The experts of Ancient Soul Hall charged forward, hardly surprised by this array.


    Brrrooom!


    In a flash, the sky was filled with chaotic bolts of dark energy that shot at the Heaven''s Legacy array of Giant God Hall.


    At this moment, the eyes of the four statues flashed, and they seemed to come to life. Several dozen Ancient God experts within the Heaven''s Legacy array took control of the four statues to launch counterattacks. Each statue gathered together the strength of many men, endowing them with a strength somewhat greater than a half-step God Lord.


    The remaining experts of Giant God Hall worked with the Heaven''s Legacy array to launch their own attacks.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two sides fiercely clashed, the explosion of energy sweeping aside the searing poisonous mist and causing the Scorching Underworld to shake.


    But Ancient Soul Hall had too many upper echelon experts. They pushed aside the attacks of Giant God Hall, the immense power remaining crashing against the Heaven''s Legacy array.


    "Defense!" Several array masters took control of the array and had it convert to defense mode.


    Cling!


    The weapons in the hands of the four statues clanged together, creating an extremely powerful defensive domain around the array.


    At this moment, the three God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall suddenly took action. No matter how great their advantage in high-level experts, they would find it very difficult to obtain victory if they did not kill the God Lord experts of Giant God Hall.


    "Go!" Xin Wuheng grimaced as he called out.


    Xin Wuheng, the Grand Elder, Ancient God Giant Devil, and Zhao Feng all flew out of the array.


    Ancient Soul Hall had three God Lords that Giant God Hall needed to suppress. Only this could give them any hope of victory. But Giant God Hall only had two God Lords. Thus, it could only use half-step God Lords to deal with one of the God Lords. Zhao Feng and Ancient God Giant Devil, as the strongest half-step God Lords of Giant God Hall, took on this important mission.


    "Zhao Feng, we''re working together to deal with God Lord Gloomheaven. This person is well known for being hard to deal with!" Ancient God Giant Devil sternly said. He had also not expected for himself to be fighting with a God Lord, but for the survival of Giant God Hall, he had to step forward.


    "Mm!" Zhao Feng nodded.


    The three God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall were all rather strong. The hall master was a Second Heaven God Lord while the short elder was peak First Heaven. God Lord Gloomheaven was also exceptionally strong, even stronger than God Lord Fire Cloud.


    "Haha, Giant God Hall actually sent two half-step God Lords to deal with me?" God Lord Gloomheaven couldn''t help but chuckle.


    But he was internally rather confused. Didn''t Giant God Hall have a newly-advanced God Lord? Why didn''t they appear?


    However, he couldn''t bring himself to worry about something like this. After all, a person he dearly wanted to kill had showed himself: Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was an important factor in God Lord Evil Spirit''s death, so it was time for revenge.


    Meanwhile, Xin Wuheng went to face the Ancient Soul Hall Master.


    "Hmph, you don''t know your own strength!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master sneered.


    In Xin Wuheng''s last life, he would have been more than a match, but Xin Wuheng was still far from reaching the level of his past life.


    "Five Elements Law-Shattering Palm!" Xin Wuheng did not dare to be careless. His foe was a Second Heaven God Lord that he needed confront with all his power.


    Kaboom!


    Five vortices of Divine Power appeared on his palm. As he thrust his palm forward, these five vortices of Divine Power combined into a giant five-colored palm. The sliver of Fire Law in this palm immediately began to absorb the surrounding Fire energy to strengthen the attack.


    "Break!" the Ancient Soul Hall Master roared as he thrust out both of his arms.


    A dark pillar of energy exploded forward. Its dreadful power devoured everything in its path.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two immense energies clashed, and a few moments later, Xin Wuheng''s attack was shattered by the black energy pillar.


    With a grim expression, Xin Wuheng began to focus all his efforts on defense.


    "Haha, today, this hall master will personally kill you!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master loudly laughed as he flew forward. Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The top-class God Lords of both factions fiercely clashed, terrifying ripples of energy shaking the world.


    Although Xin Wuheng was weaker than the Ancient Soul Hall Master, he had the advantage of geography. Moreover, he had always been skilled in defense, so he was able to temporarily hold on. However, as he was still facing a Second Heaven God Lord, if this continued for too long, Xin Wuheng would begin to lose more and more.


    On the other end, Ancient Soul Hall''s God Lord Ghost Centipede was fighting with the Giant God Race''s Grand Elder. As old foes, they were evenly matched.


    Overall, on the God Lord battlefield, Giant God Hall was able to hold on for now.


    But in the sub-God-Lord level clash, Giant God Hall was facing danger on all sides.


    "Kill!"


    "Break the array!"


    The upper echelon experts of Ancient Soul Hall were distributed around the Heaven''s Legacy array and madly attacking it. Ancient Soul Hall had far more half-step God Lords than Giant God Hall, and there was no need to discuss the advantage in Rank Nine and Rank Eight Ancient Gods.


    At this moment, the members of Giant God Hall could only passively defend from within the array. As for the array itself, countless large ripples were appearing on it, and it seemed like it would break at any moment.


    "Haha!" In the sky, the three God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall laughed.


    Even if Giant God Hall had the advantage of geography and a Heaven''s Legacy array, it could not prevent its defeat.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re truly a fool. Rather than staying in the Spiritual Race, you chose to come here and send yourself to your death!" God Lord Gloomheaven jeered.


    Even if Zhao Feng had an extremely high status in the Spiritual Race, he had chosen to participate in a war between two five-star factions of another zone. Thus, even if he died, Ancient Soul Hall would not have to take on much responsibility.


    Swooosh!


    A pitch-black dagger appeared in God Lord Gloomheaven''s hand, which he used to swiftly send out dark waves of energy. These waves were suffused with a Law of Water and a Law of Shadow as they flew toward Zhao Feng and Ancient God Giant Devil.


    "Oh no!" Ancient God Giant Devil was unable to dodge in time, and a dark wave left a large wound on his body. Moreover, God Lord Gloomheaven''s attack also dealt severe damage to his soul. Ancient God Giant Devil felt as if soul had almost been drowned in a vast wave.


    "God Lord experts truly are extraordinary!" Ancient God Giant Devil grimaced. If this was an ordinary God Lord, he and Zhao Feng might have been able to hold on, but God Lord Gloomheaven was extremely strong and well-known for being a difficult foe.


    Zhao Feng was having a somewhat easier time.


    Thwish!


    His Spacetime Robe allowed him to easily maneuver around, and the observation powers of his God''s Spiritual Eye allowed him to dodge all attacks.


    "Damn! This kid has the supreme-quality Spacetime Robe?" God Lord Gloomheaven focused on the dark silver robe that Zhao Feng was wearing.


    The Spacetime Robe was outstanding among supreme-quality divine artifacts, fusing the aspects of speed, defense, and support in one object.


    And even more rare was that Zhao Feng possessed formidable Spacetime Intent. This together with the Spacetime Robe gave him a speed equal to an ordinary God Lord''s.


    "Earth Dragonbeast!" God Lord Gloomheaven waved his robe, releasing a Soul Beast that seemed like a fusion of a dragon and a fish.


    "Entangling Dragon Strike!" God Lord Gloomheaven''s body surged with immense Divine Power.


    The Earth Dragonbeast also began to fly through the air, unleashing a powerful secret art in combination with God Lord Gloomheaven.


    Boom!


    The Earth Dragonbeast had an enormous body, and it hurtled toward Zhao Feng and Ancient God Giant Devil as a tornado of black water.


    "Retreat! It''s too powerful!" Ancient God Giant Devil grimaced.


    God Lord Gloomheaven was attacking with all his power, causing Ancient God Giant Devil to instinctively tremble in fear. In the face of such a terrifying attack, he feared that he would be instantly slain.


    Boom! Swoosh!


    The tornado of black water tore through the world.


    Ancient God Giant Devil immediately fled from the range of the attack.


    Of course, God Lord Gloomheaven was targeting Zhao Feng. Otherwise, Ancient God Giant Devil would not have found it so easy to escape.


    "Die, Zhao Feng!" God Lord Gloomheaven growled.


    The black tornado, under the control of the Earth Dragonbeast, doggedly pursued Zhao Feng as if it wanted to eat him up.


    But Zhao Feng''s Time Intent had reached peak Level Eight, making it capable of slowing down the Soul Beast''s attack while increasing his own speed.


    "The situation isn''t good." While dodging God Lord Gloomheaven''s attack, Zhao Feng was also observing the battle.


    Giant God Hall was the weaker side in the God Lord battle, and down below, Giant God Hall was on the verge of complete collapse. The Ancient Soul Hall experts could break through the array at any moment.


    "Even if I call out Little Black and my clones, it won''t be enough to turn the tides." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but shake his head.


    Although Xin Wuheng had obtained many precious resources, Ancient Soul Hall was so dogged in its pursuit that Giant God Hall didn''t have time to catch its breath and develop. If not for this, the situation would have never been so onesided.


    "Since that''s the case, I can only do this!" Zhao Feng''s face darkened as he sent a part of his mind into the silver ball in the God Eye Dimension.


    "Kid, you dare to get sidetracked while fighting with me!?" God Lord Gloomheaven was infuriated to see that Zhao Feng appeared to be distracted.


    But at this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly stopped, spatial ripples appearing around him. Several figures suddenly emerged.


    "It''s them!" God Lord Gloomheaven''s eyes flashed.


    The people who had emerged were none other than the three God Eye descendants and the Destruction Dragon Race expert.


    "So they were all your subordinates! But even this isn''t enough for victory...." God Lord Gloomheaven coldly laughed. Zhao Feng''s helpers were all Rank Nine, making them incapable of influencing the battle.


    But before God Lord Gloomheaven could finish speaking, a hint of confusion appeared on his face.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The spatial disturbance next to Zhao Feng had not ceased. Several enormous figures charged out from it.


    These were all giant red Qilins.


    Roooooar!


    Almost ten Blood Flame Qilins charged out, their cultivations at Rank Eight and Rank Nine. Their simultaneous roars caused the temperature of the entire Scorching Underworld to increase by several degrees.


    But it was far from over. After the Blood Flame Qilins came many more powerful ancient beasts. Within the Ancient Dream Realm, with the Blood Flame Qilin Race as the foundation, Zhao Wan had succeeded in significantly expanding his territory, adding many powerful experts from other races to his forces.


    "This..." God Lord Gloomheaven was dumbfounded.


    In a flash, an army of ancient beasts had appeared at Zhao Feng''s side.


    "What''s going on?" The other God Lords were also stunned by this sight. How had so many experts suddenly appeared in this area?


    "What''s going on here?" Ancient God Giant Devil had become like a statue, his expression one of indescribable shock. He wasn''t far from Zhao Feng, so he naturally saw that Zhao Feng had summoned all these ancient beasts!


    Down below, the two armies stopped fighting and looked up.


    Your Excellency, the patriarch has reached the crucial moment of his breakthrough!" a peak Rank Nine Blood Flame Qilin reported to Zhao Feng.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng ordered.


    He had brought out almost all his high-level fighting forces this time, including his clones, his mount, and his faction in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    "Kill!" All the ancient beasts roared as they charged into the battlefield down below. "Not good! It''s an enemy!"


    Impossible! How could Giant God Hall have so many allies!?"


    The Ancient Soul Hall army was instantly caught off guard.


    Within the Heaven''s Legacy array, all the Giant God Hall members cried and shouted as if they had been rescued from dire peril, and then they began to launch a counterattack.


    "Ancient God Giant Devil, withdraw for now. Leave God Lord Gloomheaven to me!" Zhao Feng called out, his eyes turning serious and beginning to seethe with killing intent.


    This was a killing intent that only one who had experienced endless slaughter could possess!


    Chaos Origin Divine Power surged in Zhao Feng''s hand, gathering into a broad Chaos Origin Divine Sword. The powerful absorption power of this sword immediately began to devour the surrounding energy.

 1442 A Sudden Change in the Situation

    Chapter 1442 - A Sudden Change in the Situation


    A large number of ancient beasts suddenly appeared and charged into the battle between the upper echelon members, working together with the Giant God Hall army to attack the Ancient Soul Hall army from two sides. Caught off guard, the Ancient Soul Hall army fell into disarray. This change left all the Ancient Soul Hall God Lords with nasty grimaces.


    Meanwhile, Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder rejoiced while all of Giant God Hall was reinvigorated.


    "Ancient God Giant Devil, withdraw for now. Leave God Lord Gloomheaven to me!" Zhao Feng called out.


    Bzzzz!


    Chaos Origin Divine Power surged in Zhao Feng''s hand, gathering into a broad Chaos Origin Divine Sword. The powerful absorption power of this sword immediately began to devour the surrounding energy.


    Ancient God Giant Devil sensed the pulses of Divine Power from Zhao Feng''s hand and retreated in shock.


    Within the Chaos Origin Divine Power, Space Intent had reached Level Nine, Time Intent had reached peak Level Eight, and all the other Intents were of rather high level as well. This made Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Power so powerful that it was equivalent to the Divine Power of a God Lord.


    "Kid, you have too high an opinion of yourself!" God Lord Gloomheaven was furious.


    By having Ancient God Giant Devil withdraw and facing him alone, Zhao Feng was essentially challenging and humiliating him. Moreover, God Lord Gloomheaven had recently gotten even stronger and was now capable of easily crushing ordinary God Lords. For a half-step God Lord like Zhao Feng to dare to challenge him alone was a complete joke.


    "Kill!" God Lord Gloomheaven roared, after which his Soul Beast and its tornado of black water surged toward Zhao Feng.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword, slash!" Unafraid, Zhao Feng gripped the sword with both hands and swung.


    Booom! Whoosh!


    The massive sword of dark silver energy crashed against the tornado, sending out a spray of black water.


    At the start, Zhao Feng''s hands slightly trembled. At the same time, an invisible Soul energy rushed toward him. But his soul was like solid rock, completely unaffected, all external energy vanishing into it like a stone being cast into the ocean.


    Besides that, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword was absorbing the energy of the black tornado, gradually increasing its own power.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng''s body surged with Divine Power as he slashed once more.


    By now, his Chaos Origin Divine Sword was far more powerful than the attack of God Lord Gloomheaven''s Soul Beast. In the face of this power, even the Earth Dragonbeast within the tornado sensed that something was wrong and took flight.


    Kacrack!


    In a single slash, the tornado of black water was obliterated.


    "This is impossible!" God Lord Gloomheaven shook his head in shock. How could an attack from someone as strong as himself be undone by Zhao Feng?


    Thwish!


    After breaking God Lord Gloomheaven''s attack, Zhao Feng shot forward.


    "Murdering Dragon Strike!" God Lord Gloomheaven made an extremely ugly face as the pitch-black dagger in his hand began to surge with astonishing Divine Power. At the same time, the Earth Dragonbeast fused into God Lord Gloomheaven''s divine artifact.


    Boom!


    God Lord Gloomheaven waved the dagger, unleashing a dragon of black energy that shot forward with heaven-shaking momentum.


    God Lord Gloomheaven wasn''t taking the two half-step God Lords seriously before, but now, he was truly using his full power.


    "Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng knew that he could not keep holding back against God Lord Gloomheaven.


    Swish!


    The broad silver sword immediately began to densely crackle with lightning.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng fired off a bolt of energy from the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword, sending it at the black energy dragon.


    Bang!


    As Zhao Feng''s attack struck the dragon, Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning energy poured out, destroying and devouring any other energy it encountered.


    The black energy slowed down, and its momentum visibly weakened.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng shot past it and toward God Lord Gloomheaven.


    "What a powerful Divine Power attack!" God Lord Gloomheaven''s eyes went slack as his mind reeled in shock.


    Zhao Feng breaking his last attack could have been explained through him being somewhat careless and holding back. However, the attack just now had harnessed his full strength, but Zhao Feng still blocked it.


    As Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword came down, God Lord Gloomheaven immediately dodged. Based on what had happened just now, Zhao Feng''s Divine Power attacks were on a similar level to his own.


    No one would ever believe that the Divine Power attacks of a half-step God Lord were somehow on the same level of a top-class First Heaven God Lord.


    "Didn''t you want to kill me? Why are you running?" Zhao Feng''s cold laughter came from behind him.


    Level Nine Space Intent, peak Level Eight Time Intent, and the Spacetime Robe actually made Zhao Feng just a hair faster than God Lord Gloomheaven.


    Sensing that Zhao Feng was getting ever closer, God Lord Gloomheaven began to panic a little.


    Swooosh!


    Countless waves of Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning energy were shooting toward him. God Lord Gloomheaven''s body transformed into countless streams of water that dispersed through the air so that he could dodge Zhao Feng''s attack.


    Everyone else naturally bore witness to this sight.


    "Great, Brother Zhao!" Xin Wuheng found himself somewhat excited.


    From Zhao Feng''s performance just now, he guessed that Zhao Feng was the one who had produced that God Lord Will a while ago.


    "How could he be this powerful?" The Grand Elder of Giant God Hall was shocked beyond compare.


    In contrast, the other two God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall both had extremely grim expressions. A God Lord of Ancient Soul Hall was being pursued and beaten by a half-step God Lord? Even if Ancient Soul Hall won in the end, it would still end up a laughingstock.


    And that was only if they won, which was no longer a guarantee. The sudden entry of those ancient beasts into the battle of upper echelon members dealt severe damage to the Ancient Soul Hall army. Moreover, the Blood Flame Qilin Race was skilled in Fire Intent and was strengthened by the scorching environment.


    Indeed, at this time, Giant God Hall was beginning to gain the upper hand in the battle of upper echelon members.


    Bzzz! Boom!


    At this time, the earth suddenly began to quake, and the temperature soared. "What''s going on?" Ancient God Giant Devil trembled.


    Kabooom!


    The earth below suddenly exploded, unleashing searing lava and poisonous mist into the world.


    "Ah...!" A Rank Seven Ancient God of Ancient Soul Hall immediately cried out, his eyes turning red as poison attacked his body.


    But the Giant God Hall members within the Heaven''s Legacy array were unaffected.


    "This is the Burning Cataclysm, an event of the Scorching Underworld that is extremely rare, taking place about every one hundred million years! It''s said that the Burning Cataclysm unleashes an extremely toxic fire poison that can affect even Rank Eight Ancient Gods. Rank Seven Ancient Gods who end up being infected by too much poison can even die." Ancient Soul Hall''s God Lord Ghost Centipede grimaced.


    Originally, the outcome of the war between Ancient Soul Hall and Giant God Hall was very obvious. However, Ancient Soul Hall''s forces suffered more from this Burning Cataclysm, causing yet another shift in the balance of power.


    "The heavens are helping my Giant God Hall!" The Grand Elder''s face was ruddy with excitement.


    Far in the distance, God Lord Stellar Aspect and the white-haired man were keeping a watch on the situation.


    "This is... Destiny energy!" God Lord Stellar Aspect muttered in shock. He once more sensed that Destiny energy that had disrupted him time and time again.


    Yes, this sudden natural disaster in this area had been urged on by that powerful Destiny energy. Ordinary people would find it very difficult to sense it, but he was able to keenly perceive it.


    The thought of this Destiny energy caused God Lord Stellar Aspect''s expression to become extremely dark. This Destiny energy was stronger than he was. He even suspected that it was the influence of this Destiny energy that had abruptly stopped him from entering the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom.


    The thought made God Lord Stellar Aspect slightly apprehensive. As someone who had delved deeply into the Dao of Destiny, he naturally understood just how powerful this energy was.


    "God Lord Silverwing, Ancient Soul Hall is in a bad state. You should move out," God Lord Stellar Aspect directly said.


    "Heh, I was already getting impatient!" The white-haired man''s eyes flashed with sharp light, and strange crystalline light began to rise from his body. Thwish.


    In a flash of light, God Lord Silverwing disappeared and then reappeared on the battlefield.


    "Who goes there?" Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder were both shocked. Why had another powerful God Lord aura appeared at a time like this?!


    "Haha, you''ve really made a mess of things. You still haven''t finished off Giant God Hall, and you even made me come in!" God Lord Silverwing disdainfully glanced at the three Ancient Soul Hall God Lords.


    All the members of Giant God Hall grimaced at these words, their hearts sinking to rock bottom. Ancient Soul Hall still had another God Lord!


    "Please intervene and bring this all to an end!" the Ancient Soul Hall Master coldly said.


    "Naturally." God Lord Silverwing faintly smiled.


    Suddenly, his body erupted with dazzling white light, and it became half-transparent. It appeared as if countless streams of light were flowing within his body.


    At the same time, a heaven-shaking ancient energy began to exude from his body. All the nearby experts below the God Lord level felt as if their minds had been dealt a heavy blow.


    "Light Race!?" Xin Wuheng called out in alarm. He never would''ve imagined that the people helping Ancient Soul Hall were members of the Light Race.


    "I''ll kill you first!" God Lord Silverwing turned to Giant God Hall''s Grand Elder and shot forward.


    But at this moment, a powerful spatial disturbance appeared not far from the Grand Elder.


    Bzzzz!


    A small and dim path took shape, and then a white light shot out.


    "The Light Race?" A figure made of blurry white light suddenly appeared in front of God Lord Silverwing, its eyes fixed on him.


    Twilight Valley!" Xin Wuheng sighed in relief.


    The moment God Lord Silverwing appeared, Xin Wuheng had used the Ancient God Seal to communicate with Twilight Valley, but he hadn''t expected for Twilight Valley to so promptly arrive.


    The Grand Elder seemed to know about Twilight Valley and did not appear to be surprised, but everyone else was dumbfounded. The battlefield situation was changing far too quickly. Two Light Race experts had unexpectedly intervened in this war.


    "Light Race expert?" God Lord Silverwing was taken aback. He had never expected a Light Race expert to pop up the moment he had intervened in the battle.


    In the distance, God Lord Stellar Aspect was pensive. "As I expected, there really were surviving members of the Light Race in the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom...."


    "As a representative of the true Light Race, I will obliterate you!" Twilight Valley''s face chilled.


    He could sense that this God Lord Silverwing was no member of the Light Race at all. This was undoubtedly yet another experiment of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    Thwish!


    With a wave of his hands, he fired off two waves of Time energy. The world instantly slowed down.


    "Hmph!" God Lord Silverwing was furious. For a true member of the Light Race to suddenly jump out right when he was about to attack truly left him enraged beyond compare.


    "Silverwing Featherstrike!" A pair of silver wings appeared on God Lord Silverwing''s back, apparently a supreme-quality divine artifact.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    The wings flapped, firing off numerous tiny white knives of energy.


    Before the two attacks had even collided, the Time energy within them twisted together, causing this part of the world to become distorted and incredibly slow.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The clash between the two Light Race members appeared to be moving in extremely slow motion, a bizarre sight to witness.


    But in the end, Twilight Valley had the slight advantage. This was not merely because he was a true member of the Light Race, but because his cultivation level at his peak was far above his current level. He possessed understanding and experience that left God Lord Silverwing in the dust.


    "So it was an imitation Light Race...? Then the Heaven''s Legacy Race is probably nearby!" Although Twilight Valley had stopped God Lord Silverwing, Zhao Feng sensed another danger.


    "I have to kill God Lord Gloomheaven as quickly as possible!" A harsh light flashed through Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    As long as he killed God Lord Gloomheaven, he could go to the aid of Twilight Valley or Xin Wuheng and widen their side''s advantage.


    Bzzzz!


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword in his hand swelled with power, and his left eye began to pulse with terrifying eye-bloodline energy.

 1443 God Lord Stellar Aspect Strikes

    Chapter 1443 - God Lord Stellar Aspect Strikes


    "Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng unleashed a massive wave of Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning energy that howled toward God Lord Gloomheaven while devouring everything in its path.


    "Want to kill me?" God Lord Gloomheaven saw what Zhao Feng''s intention was and couldn''t help but sneer. Zhao Feng was equal in terms of attack strength and far superior in terms of speed, but these two things were far from enough to kill him.


    Bzzzz!


    God Lord Gloomheaven''s body liquefied into countless streams of water as he prepared to dodge and minimize the damage done to him. But before he could finish this process, the energy of a Time Law descended upon his body.


    "How could this be? Time Law!?" God Lord Gloomheaven grimaced.


    Zhao Feng had clearly only used peak Rank Eight Time Intent before, so how did it suddenly turn into the even higher- level Time Law?


    The powerful wave of Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning energy was about to strike, so God Lord Gloomheaven immediately used his Law of Water to fight back against the Time Law energy. The moment the Time Law weakened, he completed his secret art, his body transforming into countless streams of water that slowly scattered.


    Swoosh!


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning sword wave passed through the countless streams of water. However, God Lord Gloomheaven had avoided lethal damage, and by converting his physical body to a soul body, coupled with the special constitution of the Ancient Soul Body, allowed him to minimize the damage he did receive.


    But even with all this, that Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning energy put him in great pain.


    Bzzzz!


    After returning to his original appearance, God Lord Gloomheaven immediately began to flee.


    But at this moment, he sensed danger approaching.


    Whoosh!


    A miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword shot through the air and pierced through his head.


    Zhao Feng''s original plan was to use the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword to force God Lord Gloomheaven into using his defensive art. Once God Lord Gloomheaven had recovered his original appearance, he would immediately use his eye-bloodline technique to catch God Lord Gloomheaven off guard.


    Hiss...! God Lord Gloomheaven''s face twisted in pain; he felt as if his soul was being run through by countless swords. But in the midst of this dire peril, he quickly regained his senses.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    He waved both hands, creating a black mist. At the same time, God Lord Gloomheaven turned into a pitch-black shadow and fled into the distance.


    "Chaos Heaven Void Ring!" Zhao Feng used his own defensive skill, creating a ring of dark and chaotic silver energy around him. Zhao Feng also activated the defenses of the Spacetime Robe before finally plunging into the dark mist.


    With his two layers of defense, Zhao Feng was able to safely pass through the mist, and his Chaos Heaven Void Ring was able to grow even stronger by absorbing the surrounding energy.


    "Chaos Origin Conversion!" He proceeded to convert the strengthened Chaos Heaven Void Ring into Chaos Origin Divine Power, which he poured into the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword. His Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword became even more powerful.


    Thwish!


    Activating the Time Law, Zhao Feng set off in pursuit of God Lord Gloomheaven.


    "No...! What technique does this kid cultivate!? His Divine Power is so powerful and unique!" God Lord Gloomheaven was finally beginning to get a little scared.


    "Wonderful!" Down below, the Giant God Hall upper echelon members saw that Zhao Feng was chasing God Lord Gloomheaven down and were both shocked and delighted.


    Those upper echelon members who didn''t have a good opinion of Zhao Feng before now blushed with shame.


    On the other end of the God Lord battlefield, Twilight Valley was fiercely clashing with God Lord Silverwing.


    "Just what level of strength has this kid reached?" Twilight Valley glanced into the distance, a hint of shock in his eyes. Swoosh swoosh!


    The sky radiated light as feathers clashed with blades, the space around them distorting.


    "Time Execution!" Twilight Valley cut a palm through the air, his powerful Time energy instantly taking the form of a gigantic blade.


    Thwish!


    This Time energy blade pierced through the world and appeared right in front of God Lord Silverwing.


    "What powerful Time energy!" God Lord Silverwing was alarmed. He was forced to admit that Twilight Valley was far more skilled in using Time energy than he was.


    "Silven^ng Shield!" God Lord Silveming circulated Time energy while dso activating the div^


    back. The two giant wings came together, fusing perfectly into a circular shield that protected God Lord Silverwing


    within.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Time Execution struck, its immense power causing the shield to fiercely tremble and throwing back its owner several dozen li.


    "Damn! Why isn''t God Lord Stellar Aspect doing anything?" God Lord Silverwing was bewildered.


    God Lord Stellar Aspect was a Second Heaven God Lord. Even if he wasn''t skilled in combat, he was still capable of turning the tides of this battle.


    On the other end, Xin Wuheng and the Ancient Soul Hall Master were fighting. The former was passively defending and appeared somewhat unable to hold on.


    "This time, I''ll kill you once and for all!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master focused his eyes.


    But at this moment, a bone-biting pain came from his waist, together with a burning sensation.


    "How could this be¡­£¿ Why would my old injury flare up at a time like this?!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master¡¯s body trembled in disbelief.


    Five million years ago, he had battled to a standstill with another Second Heaven God Lord, but the waist of his soul body had been severely damaged during that battle, infected with fiery poison. He had long ago healed that injury, but the healing wasn''t complete, leaving behind a lingering wound.


    But it had been millions of years since this injury had last flared up. Why would it suddenly flare up now?


    "Could it be the influence of the Scorching Underworld?" The Ancient Soul Hall Master was confused.


    Just a while ago, the Burning Cataclysm for which the Scorching Underworld was infamous had occurred.


    "No, that''s not all...." The Ancient Soul Hall Master''s eyes darkened.


    There was apparently a reason for the flare-up of his old wound. As a Second Heaven God Lord, he sensed that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. At this moment, the Ancient Soul Hall Master thought about how he had arrived half a month late.


    "Have I earned the attention of a Destiny Dao expert?" The Ancient Soul Hall Master couldn''t help but think of this possibility.


    Destiny Dao experts could kill without a trace. By using the Dao of Destiny, they could guide and influence all things!


    "Eh? The Ancient Soul Hall Master..." Xin Wuheng immediately sensed that there was something strange about the Ancient Soul Hall Master.


    In the ensuing clashes, he discovered that the Ancient Soul Hall Master had weakened and was apparently not too focused on the battle. Gradually, Xin Wuheng came to sense that the Ancient Soul Hall Master''s old injury had flared up, affecting his ability to fight.


    This took a great deal of pressure off Xin Wuheng. And it seemed like the old injury would have more severe effects on the Ancient Soul Hall Master the longer the battle went on. Thus, as long as Xin Wuheng stalled out the battle, he might even have a chance of winning.


    Far away from the battlefield, God Lord Stellar Aspect was observing this all with an extremely ugly grimace.


    Zhao Feng was hot on the heels of God Lord Gloomheaven and about to force him into dire straits. God Lord Silverwing was clearly weaker than Twilight Valley, making his defeat only a matter of time. Finally, to his surprise, the Ancient Soul Hall Master''s old injury had chosen this moment to flare up.


    "It seems that my hand is forced!" God Lord Stellar Aspect''s eyes dimmed. Although he feared that mysterious Destiny energy, he had no other choice except to intervene now.


    His hands began to form spells, causing tadpole-like characters to float into the air and fuse into the world.


    In the distance, God Lord Silverwing and Twilight Valley suddenly sensed something.


    "Okay!" God Lord Silverwing rejoiced and immediately backed up.


    Hisssss!


    Countless golden characters suddenly emerged out of the void and began to form an array.


    This is... a Heaven''s Legacy array!" Twilight Valley grimaced as he swiftly retreated.


    But it was too late. The golden Heaven''s Legacy array suddenly created several golden pillars of light.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Although Twilight Valley was extremely fast, the array seemed to have a powerful restriction that suppressed his Time Law.


    Kaploosh!


    Two of the golden pillars pierced through Twilight Valley''s right shoulder and chest. Those parts of Twilight Valley''s body struck by the pillars of light slowly turned from streams of flowing light back into solid flesh.


    "Not good! My Light Race bloodline has been suppressed!" Twilight Valley was stunned.


    This Heaven''s Legacy array that had suddenly appeared would not do damage, but when it struck him, it could suppress his bloodline energy.


    Swish!


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race array gradually disappeared, but the majority of Twilight Valley''s Light Race blood had been suppressed.


    "Die!" God Lord Silverwing heartily laughed as he charged once more at Twilight Valley.


    With his Light Race bloodline suppressed, Twilight Valley had become much weaker in all aspects.


    "Silverwing Featherstrike!" The supreme-quality divine artifact wings on God Lord Silverwing''s back shook, firing off countless feathers.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    By putting all his strength into defense, Twilight Valley was barely able to fend off the attack. However, Twilight Valley instantly became the weaker party, easily suppressed by God Lord Silverwing.


    The other members on the battlefield were all flabbergasted.


    "What''s going on here?" The Grand Elder''s face was frozen in shock.


    Twilight Valley originally had the firm upper hand, but that array completely turned around the battle.


    "There''s another expert nearby!" Xin Wuheng''s gaze was somewhat dark.


    From the look of it, this expert was forced to intervene because the situation had become too disastrous, but they had no plans of actually showing themselves on the battlefield. There was no need to think about who - it was the Heaven''s Legacy Race!


    At this moment, Twilight Valley was heavily injured by God Lord Silverwing.


    "Run!" Twilight Valley could no longer worry about so much. If he remained in this place, he would probably die. Thwish!


    Twilight Valley''s entire body flashed with mysterious white rays of light, and then he vanished as a mysterious beam into the distance.


    "Do not pursue!" A voice resounded in God Lord Silverwing''s mind.


    "If you chase, Ancient Soul Hall will probably be defeated. Moreover, it''s just one member of the Light Race. There''s no need to put that much attention on him. Right now, go and deal with Zhao Feng. Capture him alive!" God Lord Stellar Aspect sent new orders.


    At this moment, the hardest part of this battle to predict was Zhao Feng, and the result he had obtained was extremely ambiguous. Moreover, despite being only a half-step God Lord, Zhao Feng had heavily wounded God Lord Gloomheaven. This made God Lord Stellar Aspect even more interested in him.


    Besides that, he had also heard that Zhao Feng had a cat for a pet. Although this little thieving cat had not yet appeared, God Lord Stellar Aspect had already guessed at what it was.


    "Okay!" God Lord Silverwing turned around and flew back.


    At this time, Zhao Feng had pushed God Lord Gloomheaven into desperate straits and was just about to kill him. Suddenly, he sensed a powerful energy approaching.


    "Not good! Another God Lord!" Zhao Feng''s face turned grave. Not only that, God Lord Silverwing was a God Lord with the Light Race bloodline.


    "Zhao Feng, watch out!" Xin Wuheng couldn''t help but call out.


    "Your Excellency!" The many ancient beasts below were also greatly concerned.


    For a half-step God Lord to be able to defeat a top-class God Lord was already miraculous enough, but what if he was facing two God Lords?


    In the face of this unprecedented crisis and unprecedented danger, Zhao Feng was calm like never before.


    At this moment, he felt a swelling pain from his left eye. Within his God Eye Dimension, the dreamy silver ball fiercely shuddered. The picture of the eye upon the silver ball had almost entirely been colored in that dreamy hue. Only one tiny point was left!

 1444 Chaos Heaven Black Hole

    Chapter 1444 - Chaos Heaven Black Hole


    God Lord Silverwing was suddenly intervening in Zhao Feng''s battle. He possessed the Light Race bloodline and was even stronger than Giant God Hall''s Grand Elder.


    For a half-step God Lord to be able to defeat a top-class God Lord was already miraculous enough, but what if he was facing two God Lords?


    At this moment, all the Giant God Hall members on the battlefield couldn''t help but worry about Zhao Feng.


    But none of them could possibly help him. Those beneath the God Lord level did not dare to take part in a God Lord level battle.


    As for the Grand Elder and Xin Wuheng, they had their own powerful foes to contend with and could not pull themselves away.


    "Junior, you can only blame yourself for showing off too much!" God Lord Silverwing sneered as he rushed at Zhao Feng.


    Swooosh!


    The silver wings behind him shook, shooting countless abnormally thin and sharp feathers at Zhao Feng. The power of a Time Law also descended on Zhao Feng, causing his thoughts and movements to become excruciatingly slow.


    "Good! Kill him!" the ragged God Lord Gloomheaven roared in exultation. After being forced into such desperate straits by Zhao Feng, he hated him to his very bones!


    The countless feathers were about to shoot through Zhao Feng''s body.


    Kaboom!


    At this moment, an immense Time Law energy erupted from Zhao Feng''s body. In a flash, the Time Law restriction around him vanished. The feathers approaching him were also greatly weakened.


    Boom! Hisss!


    With a wave of the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword, all the thin and sharp feathers were destroyed.


    "Eh? Such a powerful Time Law!" God Lord Silverwing was left dumbfounded.


    Although he knew that Zhao Feng could use a Time Law as well, the Time Law Zhao Feng just used was an entire level higher than the Time Law he had previously used.


    "How could this be? Was he not using his full strength before?" God Lord Gloomheaven felt like he had been struck by lightning.


    Til kill you first!" After resolving God Lord Silverwing"s attack, Zhao Feng flew at God Lord Gloomheaven.


    Although he used the Law of the Ancestral Artifact fragment before, he only used a small part of it. But now, Zhao Feng was using as much of the Ancestral Artifact fragment''s Time Law energy as he could. Otherwise, he would find it very difficult to resist the Time Law energy of God Lord Silverwing.


    "No...!" Sensing the restraint of the Time Law, God Lord Gloomheaven called out in fear and panic.


    Boom! Bang!


    God Lord Gloomheaven fired off several palms of pitch-black water at Zhao Feng.


    However, the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword in Zhao Feng''s hand and the Chaos Heaven Void Ring around him allowed him to get through these attacks completely unharmed.


    "Junior, in front of me, you won''t be able to kill anyone!" God Lord Silverwing''s icy voice came from behind him.


    Zhao Feng was fast, but God Lord Silverwing was even faster. He was skilled in a Time Law, and the supreme-quality divine artifact on his back could also boost his speed.


    "This God Lord Silverwing really is a problem!" Zhao Feng''s eyes sank.


    The reputation of the top ten ancient races had not been built up purely through boasting.


    "Die!" God Lord Silverwing roared.


    His right wing immediately surged with massive amounts of power, and then it fired off a massive wing of light. Whoosh!


    This massive wing-blade flew forward with incredible speed.


    Clingclang!


    Zhao Feng swung the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword and used the Chaos Heaven Void Ring to defend against this attack.


    God Lord Silverwing exceeded God Lord Gloomheaven in almost every aspect, and even Zhao Feng found his attacks rather taxing to deal with. If he did not kill one of these two God Lords, he would probably die here.


    And there was still that Heaven''s Legacy Race God Lord hiding in the shadows.


    "Let me deal with this kid. You just disrupt him from afar!" God Lord Silverwing messaged God Lord Gloomheaven.


    His goal was to capture Zhao Feng alive, and capturing was much more difficult than killing. God Lord Silverwing they were distorted and weakened by the force field around it. As they got closer, the enormous devouring power took effect.


    Whoosh!


    As the feathers struck the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, they truly vanished as if they were nothing but drops of water. Swooosh!


    The torrent of feathers seemed unending, but in the end, the Chaos Heaven Black Hole had successfully blocked them all.


    "So strong!" Zhao Feng was elated.


    At this moment, God Lord Gloomheaven''s attack arrived.


    "Kill!" Without another word, Zhao Feng charged into the fray.


    Boom! Bang!


    As the two collided, the tornado was pierced through by the Chaos Heaven Black Hole.


    The Chaos Heaven Black Hole was not merely a defensive skill, but a powerful offensive one as well.


    "How could this be? What secret art is this?" God Lord Gloomheaven was stunned. His powerful attack had been busted straight through by Zhao Feng?


    "This secret skill is way too powerful!" God Lord Silverwing was also surprised. Moreover, Zhao Feng''s secret art was also extremely resistant to his Time Law.


    "Kill!" Still maintaining the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, Zhao Feng charged at God Lord Gloomheaven.


    Thwish!


    God Lord Gloomheaven immediately began to retreat.


    "Don''t even think about it!" The wings on God Lord Silverwing''s back flapped, sending a giant wing of light at Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Bang!


    But once his attack struck the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, it took only a few moments for it to be weakened and annihilated.


    "This kid''s defensive skill is only getting stronger!" God Lord Silverwing''s gaze darkened.


    "He wasn''t stopped!?" God Lord Gloomheaven panicked as he fell back even more.


    "Black Hole Devour!" The Chaos Heaven Black Hole around Zhao Feng suddenly began to emit a powerful suction that dragged in everything around it.


    "Not good! If this devouring continues, his defensive skill will only get stronger!" God Lord Silverwing grimaced and began to unleash Time Law energy to suppress the devouring power of the Chaos Heaven Black Hole.


    "Die!" A fragment of a white mirror suddenly appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand - the Ancestral Artifact fragment. But the Chaos Heaven Black Hole meant that no one could see it.


    After slashing once with it, Zhao Feng put it away.


    Kaboom!


    This slash obliterated the Time Law energy unleashed by God Lord Silverwing and even succeeded in pushing him back somewhat.


    "So powerful... this Time energy!" God Lord Silverwing trembled in extreme shock.


    On the other side, not only was God Lord Gloomheaven affected by the suction of the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, this sudden wave of Time energy caused him to abruptly slow down.


    "Die!" A Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword extended out of the Chaos Heaven Black Hole.


    Swish!


    The sword swept down, cutting God Lord Gloomheaven in half. Both sides of the wound were scorched black and incredibly difficult to heal.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" Zhao Feng drew on the surrounding Chaos Origin Divine Power to unleash a dark silver star of chaotic energy.


    Boom! Bang!


    This dark star rushed up to God Lord Gloomheaven and then exploded. Boundless energy erupted outward, destroying everything in its path.


    At the same moment, a bolt of Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning energy shot into that chaotic storm.


    Whoosh!


    The chaotic energy vanished, revealing that God Lord Gloomheaven had been so thoroughly destroyed that nothing was left.


    God Lord Gloomheaven had been slain! Everyone could keenly sense the energy that came with the death of a God Lord.


    "This..." God Lord Silverwing was frozen in shock. He never would have imagined that his being slightly delayed would cause God Lord Gloomheaven to be killed by Zhao Feng.


    "This... how?"


    "God Lord Gloomheaven is dead?"


    The Ancient Soul Hall Master and God Lord Ghost Centipede had expressions of disbelief. Hadn''t God Lord Gloomheaven been working with God Lord Silverwing to deal with Zhao Feng? How could he have died?


    In contrast, while Giant God Hall''s members were deeply stunned, they were also cheering in delight.


    "Unbelievable! He actually killed God Lord Gloomheaven!?" The Grand Elder still couldn''t believe it.


    This was the first God Lord to fall since the formal start of this war, and Zhao Feng had killed him while outnumbered two to one!


    In the distance, God Lord Stellar Aspect''s eyes had gone slack.


    "That kid must be related to Heng''er''s death!" God Lord Stellar Aspect murmured in shock.


    For Zhao Feng to kill God Lord Gloomheaven in his situation was truly absurd, and based on his intelligence reports, Zhao Feng had gone with Xin Wuheng into the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom. In addition, he had found it hard to determine how Yu Heng died, and he had also found it hard to determine any matter related to Zhao Feng. This made God Lord Stellar Aspect suspect that Yu Heng''s death was related to Zhao Feng.


    "Let this old man personally capture you!" God Lord Stellar Aspect''s eyes twinkled.


    Finding out how Yu Heng died was more important to him than the war between Giant God Hall and Ancient Soul Hall. This time, even if he earned the attention of the Chixing Zone''s Sacred Land, he needed to capture Zhao Feng and find out the truth!


    Whoosh!


    God Lord Stellar Aspect instantly flew forward, his hands forming spells. One Heaven''s Legacy Race word after another flew forward and merged into the surrounding world.


    At this moment, both sides of this war sensed a powerful aura.


    "Second Heaven God Lord!?" The Grand Elder gasped, his body trembling.


    "That''s the person who used that Heaven''s Legacy array on Twilight Valley...." Xin Wuheng''s eyes dimmed, his mind becoming somewhat blank.


    It was obvious that this person was a Second Heaven God Lord, and one from the Heaven''s Legacy Race!

 1445 The Ninth God Eye I

    Chapter 1445 - The Ninth God Eye (I)


    Everyone on the battlefield suddenly sensed a powerful aura.


    "That''s the person who used that Heaven''s Legacy array on Twilight Valley...." Xin Wuheng''s eyes dimmed, his mind becoming somewhat blank.


    It was obvious that this person was a Second Heaven God Lord, and one from the Heaven''s Legacy Race!


    "Another God Lord?" All the upper echelon members of Giant God Hall felt extremely helpless.


    Ancient Soul Hall had started off with one God Lord more already, and then God Lord Silverwing appeared, and now another even more powerful God Lord had shown up.


    "You''re finally willing to intervene?" God Lord Silverwing''s expression relaxed as he smiled.


    Although God Lord Stellar Aspect was a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and not skilled in combat, he was still a Second Heaven God Lord. The gap between God Lords of different Heavens was enormous. At First Heaven, God Lords had a basic grasp of their Law. At Second Heaven, God Lords had reached a minor understanding of their law.


    The power of a Law at the stage of minor understanding could easily suppress a basic Law.


    "Xin Wuheng, you''re all finished!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master heartily laughed.


    With the Heaven''s Legacy Race God Lord Stellar Aspect now willing to strike, there was no question that everything was over!


    "To think that it would be a Second Heaven!" Zhao Feng also felt rather helpless, and his left eye began to pulse even more fiercely.


    At this moment:


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Golden characters suddenly surged out from around Zhao Feng, instantly creating an ethereal array.


    "Not good... the target is me!" Zhao Feng paled.


    Thwish!


    He immediately circulated Space Intent and his Time Law and prepared to escape. Earlier, even a God Lord like Twilight Valley had been firmly suppressed by an array like this one.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng had just reached the array''s edge when he was sent flying back as if he had struck a steel wall. At the same time, a powerful suppressive energy descended.


    Within the array of golden characters, Zhao Feng''s strength plunged.


    "Zhao Feng, obediently come with me!" God Lord Stellar Aspect slowly stepped forward, his deep and starry eyes fixed on Zhao Feng as if they wanted to see through all his secrets.


    "Impossible!" Zhao Feng''s face was determined. Nothing good would happen to him if he went to the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "Haha, does it matter if you don''t want to obey?" God Lord Silverwing jeered. What could a mere half-step God Lord do against two Second Heaven God Lords?


    I have to escape! Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed with resolve.


    Bzzzz!


    He flipped his palm, revealing a fragment flashing with crystalline light. Powerful Time Law energy immediately began to spread out, causing the array of golden characters to flash.


    In the face of such danger, Zhao Feng could no longer hide anything!


    That is... an Ancestral Artifact fragment!" God Lord Silverwing''s eyes flew open in shock.


    He finally understood how a half-step God Lord could possess the energy of a Time Law. As it turned out, Zhao Feng had been holding an Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    "Ancestral Artifact fragment!?" The two God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall were also stunned.


    Even the Ancient Soul Hall Master was still using a supreme-quality divine artifact. If he possessed his own Ancestral Artifact fragment, he would have been able to instantly kill Xin Wuheng and reign free over all other Second Heaven God Lords.


    "Oh?" God Lord Stellar Aspect was also rather surprised, but then he smiled.


    Zhao Feng was already trapped and subdued. When the time came, everything Zhao Feng had would be his.


    "Break!" Zhao Feng activated the full power of the Ancestral Artifact fragment and slashed.


    An enormous white blade appeared and flew forward.


    Boom! Hisss!


    The collision of the white blade caused the entire array to tremble.


    Within the array, Zhao Feng sensed that the suppression had weakened and that he was able to use more power.


    "Again! I can definitely break this array!" Zhao Feng once more summoned the energy in his body and waved the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    "What meaning do these actions of yours have?" God Lord Stellar Aspect extended a hand and snatched at the air. An enormous hand made of golden characters appeared in the array and grabbed at Zhao Feng.


    "Oh no!" Zhao Feng wanted to dodge, but he sensed that such a feat was impossible.


    Boom!


    The golden hand seized Zhao Feng, placing an even stronger seal on his strength. Zhao Feng could feel his available strength constantly decreasing.


    If this continues, I''m done for! As Zhao Feng frantically thought, his left eye continued to pulse.


    "Chaos Heaven Black Hole!" He summoned all the power he could to once more use the Chaos Heaven Black Hole. Kaboom!


    Dark Divine Power slowly emerged on the surface of Zhao Feng''s body, distorting and devouring the surrounding energy.


    But the binding of the massive golden hand prevented the Chaos Heaven Black Hole from fully forming. Moreover, the sealing energy continued to increase in power, causing the Chaos Heaven Black Hole to weaken even more. Zhao Feng even became incapable of maintaining the Chaos Heaven Black Hole at all.


    Whoosh!


    The Chaos Heaven Black Hole vanished.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng could only use the power of a Rank Seven Ancient God. In the eyes of a Second Heaven God Lord, a Rank Seven Ancient God wasn''t even an ant.


    No... is this how it ends!? Zhao Feng mentally roared in unwillingness.


    Thumpthump! Thumpthump!


    The dreamy silver ball in the God Eye Dimension seemed to sense Zhao Feng''s anger. Its shuddering intensified, and vast amounts of Origin energy poured out.


    "Mm? The Origin energy of the God''s Spiritual Eye hasn''t been sealed!?" Zhao Feng felt like he had suddenly caught a rope as he was falling into an abyss.


    God Lord Stellar Aspect had sealed off his Divine Power and Soul power, but the Origin energy of his God''s Spiritual Eye was completely unaffected. On the contrary, the danger had prompted the dreamy silver ball to shudder and unleash a supreme energy!


    "It''s all on you!" Zhao Feng closed his eyes and poured all his energy into the God''s Spiritual Eye, hoping to guide out that energy within the dreamy silver ball.


    Seeing Zhao Feng give up and stop moving, God Lord Stellar Aspect smiled. He was confident that Zhao Feng was related to Yu Heng''s death. Not only had he captured Zhao Feng this time, Ancient Soul Hall would be able to smoothly defeat Giant God Hall.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The golden hand around Zhao Feng suddenly turned into a golden barrier that covered Zhao Feng''s entire body.


    "It''s over!"


    Enclosed by the array, Zhao Feng would never be able to escape. Once he took Zhao Feng back, he would be able to learn all his secrets.


    "Zhao Feng!" Xin Wuheng called out as he prepared to try and rescue Zhao Feng.


    "Don''t even think about it!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master naturally would not let Xin Wuheng do so and did everything in his power to hold him down.


    Down below, Nan Gongsheng and Kun Yun were also frantic with concern, but there was nothing they could do.


    "Your Excellency!" The Blood Flame Qilin Race and many other ancient beasts were all furious, but what could they do against a Second Heaven God Lord?


    But at this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly opened his left eye. His eye immediately began to shine with a dreamy luster that attracted the attention of the entire battlefield.


    "How could this be? This energy...!" God Lord Stellar Aspect was dumbstruck.


    He should have sealed off all of Zhao Feng''s energy, making it incapable of being used. But at this moment, the energy being emitted by Zhao Feng''s left eye made God Lord Stellar Aspect''s heart tremble in unease.


    God Eye Illusory Oblivion!


    At this moment, only the God Eye Illusory Oblivion could help Zhao Feng escape his predicament.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The dreamy silver ball received Zhao Feng''s intense will and fiercely shuddered, unleashing a vast wave of Origin energy. Zhao Feng''s left eye also began to surge with astonishing Eye Intent.


    "Focus!" God Lord Stellar Aspect extended a hand and called out.


    The golden array vanished, leaving only the golden barrier around Zhao Feng, which slowly floated toward God Lord Stellar Aspect.


    Suddenly, the golden barrier stopped in mid-air.


    Boom!


    Forbidden Origin energy erupted out of the dreamy silver ball. Dazzling dreamy mist exploded out of Zhao Feng''s left eye, accompanied by an ancient energy that could dominate the world!


    At this moment, it wasn''t just the barrier that was trembling, but the entire world.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The dreamy light intensified, piercing through all and dying it in a rainbow of colors.


    Boom!


    Endless dreamy light continued to gush out of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    At this moment, the image of the eye on the dreamy silver ball was completely dyed by that dreamy hue, and everything Zhao Feng could see had been transformed into a dreamy paradise.


    Bzzzzz! Broooom!


    The heavens and earth shook. The bodies and souls of all living creatures in a radius of several million li quivered in fear. The world seemed to have frozen for a moment. Only Zhao Feng could move, as if he was the god of this world.


    Whoosh!


    The golden barrier around Zhao Feng''s body shattered as if it was a mere bubble.


    Plush!


    God Lord Stellar Aspect vomited blood as he staggered backward.


    "How could this be...?" God Lord Stellar Aspect''s face was ghastly pale in shock.


    This mysterious energy had the entire world shaking in fear. It also made him suffer a severe backlash, which had badly damaged both his divine body and soul.


    "This... what''s going on?" The extreme swelling pain from his left eye made Zhao Feng''s mind somewhat blurry.


    His God Eye Illusory Oblivion had not even been used yet!


    He could barely see what was going around him and realized that it had turned into a dreamy landscape.


    "God Lord Silverwing?" Zhao Feng saw that God Lord Silverwing was now a multicolored figure that was trembling in slow motion in front of him.


    He subconsciously reached out a hand and grabbed at God Lord Silverwing.


    An invisible energy began to gather around God Lord Silverwing.


    "No...!" God Lord Silverwing saw Zhao Feng extend a hand toward him, and for some reason, his heart trembled as if sensing an unprecedented danger.


    Suddenly, God Lord Silverwing''s body turned into a dreamy mist and then vanished like a dandelion blown away by the wind.


    "This is... an illusion?" Zhao Feng''s face froze.


    Why had God Lord Silverwing suddenly vanished? He was probably seeing things because his mind was so fuzzy.


    Hisss!


    Everyone else clearly saw what just occurred though. The Light Race God Lord had inexplicably vanished!


    "What... what in the world is going on?" God Lord Ghost Centipede was shocked and frightened.


    A powerful God Lord had just vanished for no rhyme or reason. How could this be? They had to be dreaming. This was the only explanation for something so strange!


    "This is impossible!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master was similarly shocked.


    Not even a Second Heaven God Lord like him could explain what had happened just now. Probably not even God Lord Silverwing had understood what was going on.


    "This energy... a God Eye! But how?" God Lord Stellar Aspect blurted out in panic, and then he began to hastily retreat.

 1446 The Ninth God Eye II

    Chapter 1446 - The Ninth God Eye (II)


    Deep within a lush mountain forest:


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The air distorted in the middle of the forest, a person slowly emerging from within. This was a white-haired old man who exuded an indescribable demeanor and warmth. At a glance, it appeared that this person was drifting through the air like a leaf on the wind.


    Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes.


    Bzzzz!


    These eyes were two vortices of multicolored light. The moment this old man opened his eyes, the forest, the earth, and the heavens all trembled.


    This old man''s demeanor also experienced a complete transformation. He suddenly became vast and imposing, his white hair turning into a rainbow of colors that danced in the wind. He appeared to be a supreme God that transcended all.


    "This energy... a God Eye, but very unfamiliar...." the old man softly muttered.


    As he thought and mused, the entire world became dark and oppressive. This elder''s every move and thought could cause the entire world to shift.


    "Could it be... the Ninth God Eye?" The old man''s eyes flashed with sharp light.


    The entire world darkened as clouds and winds howled. But as the world was thrown into chaos, this old man had already vanished.


    Back in the Scorching Underworld, God Lord Silverwing, who was hale and hearty just a few moments ago, had just vanished. Not even Second Heaven God Lords could explain what happened.


    "This energy... a God Eye! But how?" God Lord Stellar Aspect blurted out in panic, and then he began to hastily retreat.


    As a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, he had a deep understanding of God Eyes. At this moment, the forbidden energy exuded by Zhao Feng''s left eye made him feel like he was laying eyes on a God Eye Deity.


    But this God Eye energy was completely unlike any of the Eight Great God Eyes!


    "God Eye? That''s impossible!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master was stunned.


    Although he didn''t understand God Eyes very much, the God Eyes had lasted all the way to the present age, so the Ancient Soul Hall Master was well-acquainted with their powers. However, the unique trait of Zhao Feng''s God Eye did not match any one of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    "Is it really a God Eye?" Xin Wuheng took in a deep breath, his eyes somewhat dazzled. In truth, he also had this sort of conjecture before, but he had never dared to believe that it was true.


    At this moment, everyone was focused on Zhao Feng and his left eye that was erupting with dreamy mist.


    "Obliterating a God Lord! Just how did he do it?"


    "Where did his left eye come from?"


    Both sides of the battle down below gasped in shock.


    "Lord God, congratulations on the complete awakening of your God Eye!" The Blood Flame Qilins kneeled on the ground, deferential looks on their faces.


    They had become servants of Zhao Feng precisely because he was the Ninth God Eye. Now that Zhao Feng''s God Eye had completely awakened, they believed in him even more and were willing to die for him.


    "Lord God, congratulations on the complete awakening of your God Eye!" The other ancient beasts also prostrated on the ground.


    The words of these ancient beasts had everyone else present stunned.


    Lord God!? God Eye!?


    Yes, the holders of the Eight Great God Eyes in the Fan Universe were all known by the people as Gods!


    But Zhao Feng''s God Eye was not one of the Eight Great God Eyes!


    "Could it be... the Ninth God Eye?" God Lord Stellar Aspect stared at Zhao Feng, unable to calm his mind down.


    This thought emerged in the minds of all the other people as well.


    The Ninth God Eye!


    "The Ninth God Eye has awakened, but what sort of power does it have...?" God Lord Stellar Aspect had no confidence.


    Every God Eye was a God King of the Fan Universe and possessed heaven-defying abilities. In addition, there existed no records or information on this Ninth God Eye. It was completely unknown.


    The unknown would always make people fearful and not willing to act rashly.


    "Retreat for now! With this boy''s God Eye awakened, he''s not easy to deal with, but he won''t be able to escape forever."


    God Lord Stellar Aspect immediately made up his mind.


    He had earlier used an array to bind Zhao Feng, but when the God Eye awakened, God Lord Stellar Aspect suffered a massive backlash. This made God Lord Stellar Aspect somewhat afraid of Zhao Feng''s God Eye. How could he possibly risk his life at a time like this and fight against the recently-awakened Ninth God Eye?!


    Swish!


    God Lord Stellar Aspect took out a circular plate of gray metal. Once he seated himself on this plate, an array activated that protected him.


    Thwish!


    Seated on this special flying tool, God Lord Stellar Aspect instantly disappeared.


    The only person on the Giant God Hall side capable of stopping God Lord Stellar Aspect, Zhao Feng, appeared somewhat dazed and unsteady.


    "Not good! Even God Lord Stellar Aspect has run!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master grimaced.


    Zhao Feng had killed both God Lord Gloomheaven and God Lord Silverwing, and now, God Lord Stellar Aspect had fled. The only God Lords left on the Ancient Soul Hall side were him and God Lord Ghost Centipede.


    Meanwhile, Giant God Hall had Xin Wuheng, the Grand Elder, and that now-taboo existence that no one dared to mess with, Zhao Feng!


    "Could he really possess the Ninth God Eye?" the Ancient Soul Hall Master muttered in shock.


    Originally, Ancient Soul Hall''s victory in this war was certain, but Zhao Feng had singlehandedly changed all of this.


    "The Ninth God Eye! The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods has yet another God...." God Lord Ghost Centipede muttered in shock.


    "Counterattack!" Xin Wuheng immediately called out.


    "Give Ancient Soul Hall a severe blow!" The Grand Elder finally reacted to what was going on.


    With God Lord Stellar Aspect gone, Ancient Soul Hall''s fate was sealed. Now was the perfect time to strike back against them.


    "Kill!" Down below, all the members of Giant God Hall roared as they furiously charged forward.


    "Retreat!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master gave an order for a full retreat.


    Meanwhile, everyone kept as far as possible from Zhao Feng.


    "My eye... what''s wrong with it?" Zhao Feng''s left eye still felt like it was about to explode.


    Within the God Eye Dimension, the dreamy silver ball shuttered, the eye image upon it exploding with dazzling dreamy light. The entire silver ball was also silently evolving, becoming brighter and more transparent.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Everything within a certain distance around Zhao Feng was covered in multicolored light that twisted and distorted in tune with the changes of his left eye.


    "Maybe it''s just like last time, and it will get better if I use some Origin energy," Zhao Feng murmured as he struggled in discomfort.


    Back in the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, the Ancient Race bloodline had prompted his God''s Spiritual Eye to evolve.


    He had been so dizzy and had such a headache at the time that he wasn''t able to do anything. It was only after he released his Origin energy through his God Eye Illusory Oblivion that he finally returned to normal.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng raised his head and looked at the Ancient Soul Hall army.


    The Ancient Soul Hall army had already retreated by now, with the two God Lords covering the rear.


    "Where are you going!?" Zhao Feng called out.


    Boom!


    A vast stream of forbidden Origin energy exploded out of his left eye toward the Ancient Soul Hall army.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye was in terrible pain at this time, and he did not use any kind of eye-bloodline technique. His body swaying, he simply waved his hand.


    Ancient Soul Hall''s God Lord Ghost Centipede was immediately frozen to the spot by a wave of mysterious energy. Whoosh!


    A moment later, he became like a bubble that someone had bumped into and simply popped out of existence.


    This sight caused the nearby Ancient Soul Hall Master to tremble, his heart almost jumping out of his chest. He might not have believed that Zhao Feng had simply "wiped away" God Lord Silverwing before, but now, he believed it without question.


    "What''s going on...? Not even a God Eye should be able to do this...!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master was so frightened that his words had become somewhat incoherent.


    The other Ancient Soul Hall members were so frightened that their courage was utterly shattered. Yet another God Lord had inexplicably vanished!


    "Heavens! Just what''s going on!?"


    The Ancient Soul Hall members panicked and fled with concern only for their own lives.


    This sight had not only stunned the Ancient Soul Hall army; the members of Giant God Hall were similarly shocked.


    "What in the world happened? Does he really have the Ninth God Eye?" Ancient God Giant Devil''s mind was blank with shock.


    And Zhao Feng appeared to be so dazed and confused that he might accidentally "wipe away" one of them as well.


    "It seems to be a little better." In the air, Zhao Feng had somewhat calmed down.


    The swelling pain in his left eye was slowly fading, but it was replaced by a sense of exhaustion and fatigue.


    "Just now... did I kill God Lord Ghost Centipede?" Zhao Feng muttered.


    His vision was awash with a dazzling array of colors, something that would only happen in dreams. The first time, when God Lord Silverwing vanished, Zhao Feng thought that he was dreaming. But after God Lord Ghost Centipede vanished, Zhao Feng began to doubt this conclusion.


    Slowly, the pain in his left eye subsided, and the dazzling world before began to return to normal. Everything before him had actually taken place. God Lord Ghost Centipede really had vanished!


    "Eh? This familiar... aura!" Zhao Feng suddenly sensed an extremely familiar energy and turned to look with his left eye.


    His gaze pierced through layers of fiery mist to the very edge of the Scorching Underworld, where a white-clothed figure was standing. She was dressed in white, possessed a face of calm, ethereal, and unsurpassed beauty, and her serene white eyes seemed to be able to see all things in the world. Just by standing there, she gave off an unfathomable and unreal sensation.


    Whoosh!


    This white-clothed woman suddenly turned around and vanished.


    "No... she..." Zhao Feng unconsciously reached out a hand as if wanting to call out.


    Because that face was far too similar to the face of a person in his memories.


    But this was impossible. How could that person be the same as the one from his memories?


    "No, I''m¡­so sleepy...." Zhao Feng wanted to pursue, but he could barely keep his left eye open. Wave after wave of fatigue assailed him, draining him of strength.


    In the distance, the battle continued.


    Ancient Soul Hall suffered a major defeat. Of the three God Lords of Ancient Soul Hall, only the Second Heaven hall master remained, and he was pursued by Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder for a very long time. The other members of the Ancient Soul Hall had long ago scattered to the four winds in complete disarray.


    "Brother Xin, I have another matter and will leave first." Zhao Feng took out the message token from Giant God Hall. Thwish!


    Zhao Feng swiftly left, his body swaying unsteadily in the air.


    The strange activity from his left eye had created a large stir and might have alarmed the true powerhouses of this realm. And he was incredibly drowsy. At a time like this, it was best to get as far away from this place as possible.


    After flying for a day, he reached a vast ocean. Several black figures could be occasionally spotted within, emitting vicious and evil auras.


    Splash!


    Zhao Feng crashed straight into the sea. The terrifying energy of his God Eye caused all the Yao Gods and ancient beasts to withdraw, their souls trembling in fear.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng''s body sank down, carried along by the currents. Gradually, Zhao Feng''s mind was completely conquered by his fatigue, and he fell into a deep sleep.


    "Was that person really Liu Qinxin?" the half-asleep Zhao Feng muttered.


    Yes, the woman in white he saw after his God Eye awakened was truly too similar to Liu Qinxin, all except her eyes. Meow!


    The little thieving cat emerged from the interspatial dimension and went to Zhao Feng''s side, its eyes like black jewels occasionally flashing with silver.


    Many days passed as they continued to drift along....


    The little thieving cat yawned and prepared to head back into the interspatial dimension to sleep. But after it yawned, it looked around and saw no sign of Zhao Feng. This left the little thieving cat stunned and confused as to what to do.

 1447 Returning to Azure Flower in a Dream

    Chapter 1447 - Returning to Azure Flower in a Dream


    In the Scorching Underworld, after the war between the two five-star factions, the environment had become even more dangerous and vile.


    One day:


    Swish!


    An elder with a dignified and solemn face suddenly appeared above the Scorching Underworld, his five-colored hair drifting in the wind. The moment the elder appeared, the poisonous mist down below seemed to surge as if bowing to the elder.


    "There''s not a single person." The old man''s Divine Sense encompassed the entire Scorching Underworld, but he sensed nothing.


    Bzzzz!


    An immensely powerful Divine Sense erupted from the elder''s body and engulfed everything around him. As the old man''s Divine Sense encompassed the world, the world began to react in kind.


    "My Divine Sense has covered more than half of the Chixing Zone, but there is still no sign... of the Ninth God Eye!" The old man sighed. His body gradually turned transparent and then completely vanished into the world.


    Ten-some days later, a pitch-black figure suddenly arrived. His eyes exuded Death energy that suppressed even the poisonous mist of the Scorching Underworld.


    "Did I come too late?" God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s gaze darkened. He had set off the moment he heard that Zhao Feng was here, but in the end, he had come too late.


    "Hmph! I''d like to see where you can hide!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude coldly snorted as he withdrew and continued his search for Zhao Feng''s trail.


    Meanwhile, as God Lord Heavenly Solitude was leaving the Scorching Underworld, all of the Chixing Zone had learned of the war between the two five-star factions. Ancient Soul Hall had suffered a major defeat, and of its four God Lords, only the Ancient Soul Hall Master had escaped, his body covered in wounds. As for the rest of the Ancient Soul Hall members, they had scattered to the four winds.


    Giant God Hall had gone on to smoothly occupy the former territory of Ancient Soul Hall. The Giant God Race had finally reemerged to take control of its former faction. The majority of factions put up no resistance whatsoever and yielded.


    News on the Ninth God Eye had also begun to circulate, but ordinary people regarded this news as complete nonsense. The Ninth God Eye was a myth. Who would believe such a thing unless they saw it with their own eyes or had some firm evidence?


    But there were still quite a few great powers who came to the Chixing Zone to find the Ninth God Eye that had so briefly appeared.


    The sleeping Zhao Feng was dreaming. In his dream, he returned to the Continent Zone. Gradually, he came to the Nanlin Sea, the Floating Dream Sacred Land, and finally, the Sky Qin Zone.


    "Was that person really Liu Qinxin?" Zhao Feng reached the Sky Qin Zone.


    This place seemed like a dreamscape, and the nearby Sky Sacred Qin Palace was also magnificent to behold.


    Bzzz!


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng quivered, and all the chaotic distortion before his eyes disappeared.


    "I''m awake¡­? How long was I asleep?" Zhao Feng opened his eyes.


    If he remembered correctly, the awakening of his God Eye had caused him to fall asleep, and now, he was awake.


    His first reaction was to observe his surroundings.


    "Eh? Something''s not right!" Zhao Feng''s expression froze.


    The world was covered in a drab fog, the Yuan Qi was extremely thin, and space itself was incredibly fragile.


    "Where is this?" Zhao Feng used his left eye to observe his surroundings.


    In the distance was an island that was thriving with life. At a glance, it appeared like an ancient qin, and he could faintly make out beautiful mountains and rivers. This island gave Zhao Feng an extremely peaceful and intimate feeling.


    "This is... the Sky Qin Zone!?" Zhao Feng''s soul trembled and his face paled.


    He should have fallen asleep in an ocean of the Chixing Zone, but upon awakening, he was in the Sky Qin Zone of the Continent Zone''s Nanlin Sea!


    "Dreaming... I must be dreaming!" Zhao Feng closed his eyes and rubbed them hard.


    After the God Eye''s awakening, Zhao Feng truly felt rather muddleheaded. He had seen some absurd scenes that truly made it seem like he was dreaming. And now, he had ended up near the Sky Qin Zone. This had to be a dream!


    Once more, Zhao Feng opened his eyes.


    But nothing had changed. He was still in the Sky Qin Zone!


    "This... what''s going on here?" Zhao Feng felt like his mind was short-circuiting.


    How had he ended up in the Continent Zone after waking up? Had someone sent him here while he was sleeping?


    Although he didn''t understand and found this all absurd, Zhao Feng did not continue to ponder this question. If he really had come back, that was fine too. After all, he had always been planning on coming back for a visit. And if all this was a dream, that was fine too. He would just treat it as real and immerse himself in the experience.


    Inspecting his interspatial dimension, he discovered that the Black Destruction Dragon and his clones were all present, but the little thieving cat had gone missing!


    "The Sky Qin Zone... the Sky Sacred Qin Palace!" Zhao Feng''s left eye focused on a certain otherworldly garden within the Sky Qin Zone.


    Pavilions towered up from this place, built in an ancient and simple style, and one could hear the faint sound of qins coming from within.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body flashed, and then he appeared right outside the Sky Sacred Qin Palace. He then secretly entered the forbidden ground of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace.


    This was a fog-shrouded abyss devoid of any objects. It felt rather lonely here.


    "Not here?" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed as he muttered.


    Logically speaking, the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace should have still been inside the Sky Sacred Qin Palace''s forbidden ground, and Liu Qinxin was inside this palace. But now, there was nothing.


    "Could all this not be a dream? Then where did Liu Qinxin and the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace go?" Zhao Feng raised his head, confusion in his mind.


    An image appeared in his mind - that of the woman in white he had seen in the Scorching Underworld.


    "Perhaps everything is real, and I really have returned to the Continent Zone!" Zhao Feng''s eyes glowed.


    He was now sure that the woman he saw in the Scorching Underworld was Liu Qinxin. This would also explain the absence of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace and Liu Qinxin from the Sky Sacred Qin Palace¡¯s forbidden ground.


    "Let''s go back to the Azure Flower Continent first!" Zhao Feng murmured as he prepared to leave.


    The questions in his mind had been answered.


    But at this moment:


    "Who goes there? Daring to intrude upon the forbidden ground of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace!?" A furious voice came from behind him.


    "Long time no see, Li Xueyi!" Zhao Feng said before turning around.


    A woman was standing in the nearby fog, wearing a snow-white dress and black hair spilling to the ground. She gave off an elegant and transcendent air, like a classical fairy immortal from a painting.


    This woman was none other than one of the Head Disciples of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace and the one Zhao Feng had first encountered when coming to the Sky Qin Zone, Li Xueyi.


    "It''s... you?" Li Xueyi''s angry face immediately went slack with shock, her jade hands covering her mouth.


    Yes, the person who had appeared before her was none other than that figure that would constantly appear in her mind.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Several more figures arrived at this time.


    "Who is it?"


    "Daring to intrude upon the Sky Sacred Qin Palace¡¯s forbidden ground^"


    The Great Origin Core and King upper echelon members of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace bellowed at Zhao Feng.


    But at this moment, their palace master Li Xueyi suddenly flew forward, staring at Zhao Feng with her clear eyes.


    "Is it really you? You''ve come here again?" Li Xueyi pushed her elegant and noble face up against Zhao Feng, her eyes rippling with emotion.


    "Palace... Master!"


    "What''s happening here?"


    The upper echelon members of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace were all flabbergasted. This was the first time they had seen their palace master getting so close to a strange man and appear so absentminded.


    Li Xueyi was the number one beauty of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace and also the Palace Master of Sky Sacred Qin Palace. She was an Emperor and a goddess that countless men dreamed about. There were often handsome experts who traveled over vast distances to profess their love for Li Xueyi.


    "Who dares to intrude on this forbidden ground!?" a violet-haired man, his eyes gleaming with envy, instantly cried out. To see his goddess look at a strange man with such an expression certainly did not fill his heart with joy.


    Boom!


    The powerful energy of a King surged out of his body, sweeping away the surrounding mist.


    "Shut your mouth!" Li Xueyi instantly barked. The world buzzed and shook as that King''s energy was dispersed.


    Thump thump!


    A trickle of blood came from out of the corner of that violet-haired man''s lips. He fell back, his face shocked and his mouth unmoving.


    At this moment, a noble and graceful old woman slowly walked out.


    "Grand Elder!" the surrounding upper echelon members called out.


    "It''s him... Zhao Feng!" The noble woman originally had an emotionless expression, but when she saw Zhao Feng, her body trembled as she blurted out in surprise.


    "Old Palace Master." Zhao Feng looked at the previous Palace Master of Sky Sacred Qin Palace and nodded. This palace master had fought together with him against the Emperor of Death.


    "Zhao Feng?" The others couldn''t help but mutter this name. Some of them found it rather familiar.


    After all, Zhao Feng had been to the Sky Sacred Qin Palace several times, and quite a few people had met with him several times.


    But ever since Zhao Feng had entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, his demeanor and appearance had changed somewhat.


    In a peaceful and exquisite room:


    "The Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace? Fifty-some years ago, it just inexplicably disappeared!" Li Xueyi said after a period of recollection.


    At the time, Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace had suddenly floated into the air and then began to slowly vanish. This had alarmed all the people of the Sky Sacred Qin Palace.


    "I will take my leave now." After learning of what happened, Zhao Feng prepared to leave.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body vanished from the room.


    Li Xueyi was left dumbfounded. Not even a Void God Realm Emperor like her could see how Zhao Feng vanished. "He''s gone!" Li Xueyi lowered her head, anguish on her face.


    "Haaa, Xueyi, you and him don''t belong to the same world." The old palace master sorrowfully sighed before turning and leaving.


    Thwish!


    A figure blinked through a vast sea of fog.


    Zhao Feng had sealed his cultivation in the Continent Zone to prevent any leakage of his energy from bringing disaster to this dimension.


    After leaving the Sky Sacred Qin Palace, Zhao Feng intentionally chose a path where he could see old acquaintances like Emperor Zi Mu and the Eternally Sealed Palace Lord. Zhao Feng spent the remaining time researching his left eye.


    Ever since his left eye had evolved, it gave Zhao Feng an extremely strange feeling. He even speculated that his sudden coming to the Continent Zone was related to the left eye.


    "The Ninth God Eye, huh?" Zhao Feng sensed his changed God''s Spiritual Eye.


    He had seen the Spacetime God''s projection, so he was sure that his God''s Spiritual Eye had reached the God Eye level.


    Within the God Eye Dimension, the dreamy silver ball had become sparkling and transparent, a dazzling crystal sphere. And within this crystal sphere was a dream. It was as if this crystal sphere contained all the colors in the world.


    On the crystal sphere, the dreamy eye let off a dazzling light.


    Several days later, near the Azure Islands Zone, Azure Flower Continent:


    Swish!


    A figure suddenly appeared in the Azure Flower Continent.

 1448 The Dream God Eye

    Chapter 1448 - The Dream God Eye


    The Azure Flower Continent, the Northern Continent, the Canopy Great Country:


    The figure of a silver-haired youth flickered through the air, his gaze regarding his surroundings with a nostalgic look. "Not much has changed," Zhao Feng muttered.


    The Canopy Great Country was still under the control of the Iron Blood Religion. He was originally planning to find Tiemo so that they could reminisce on old times, but Tiemo was not present, and there was no sign of Patriarch Hong either.


    As he passed by the Six Warlock Divine Tower, Zhao Feng stopped for a few moments.


    The Six Warlock Divine Tower was renowned throughout the Azure Flower Continent. This was all because of the sage who had once resided there. Even though the sage was no longer there, the tower remained, becoming a legendary ancient building of the Canopy Great Country.


    "Could the sage also have been a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but recall that the big lazy cat next to the Six Warlock Divine Sage was also a Heaven''s Legacy Cat. He had also seen the big lazy cat within the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom.


    Since that was the case, the Six Warlock Divine Sage had to also be in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Zhao Feng''s mind shivered. In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he had killed Yu Heng, who possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Race and was also a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. In addition, he had also offended the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s God Lord Stellar Aspect.


    One could say that he had utterly offended the Heaven''s Legacy Race. If the Six Warlock Divine Sage was also a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, wouldn''t they be enemies in the future?


    "If he was a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, why did he go from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods to a place like this?"


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was the 3rd ranked race among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, and it was rather mythical. Moreover, given that the Six Warlock Divine Sage owned a Heaven''s Legacy Cat, he was undoubtedly an extraordinary member of that race.


    But an expert like this had deigned to reside in an outer dimension like this one. Was it because Zhao Feng was the Ninth God Eye?


    "But the sage shouldn''t have known that I was the Ninth God Eye at the time." Zhao Feng shook his head.


    The sage had not said anything of the sort at the time, only saying that Zhao Feng''s left eye had a chance to mature into an eye comparable to the Eight Great God Eyes.


    In this aspect alone, the Six Warlock Divine Sage should have been very interested in Zhao Feng''s left eye. As a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, he should have seized Zhao Feng''s eye and taken it for research.


    Since the Six Warlock Divine Sage had not done that, Zhao Feng''s doubts toward him somewhat decreased. He sensed that, since the Six Warlock Divine Sage had not seized his eye at the time, he probably wouldn''t be an enemy when they met in the future.


    "Let''s not worry about that for now!" Zhao Feng shook his head and swiftly set off once more.


    Trying to fathom the thoughts of the Heaven''s Legacy Race was nothing more than torture for the mind.


    It didn''t take long for Zhao Feng to reach Flooding Lake City.


    Bzzzz!


    A dreamy mist appeared on Zhao Feng''s body. Gradually, he altered his appearance until he returned to the Zhao Feng who was born in the Azure Flower Continent.


    Within the study of the city lord''s palace, Liu Jiutian was holding an ink painting, gazing at the tranquil and beautiful woman depicted upon it. A hint of affection appeared on his aged face.


    Knock Knock!


    There was a knocking on the door of his study.


    "Who goes there?" City Lord Liu put away the ink painting and put on a scholarly and dignified face.


    "Uncle Liu, it''s me!" Zhao Feng pushed the door open and entered.


    He could travel through the city lord''s palace undetected, but the study was Liu Jiutian''s private space, so he still knocked before entering.


    "...Feng''er?" City Lord Liu''s eyes widened in shock as he stared at Zhao Feng.


    Ever since Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin disappeared, there had been no news on the pair, not within the Canopy Great Country or the entirety of the Azure Flower Continent.


    "Feng''er, please sit!" City Lord Liu''s brow relaxed as he put on an amiable smile.


    In his eyes, his daughter was already together with Zhao Feng. Although Liu Qinxin hadn''t returned with Zhao Feng, he could find out how she was doing from Zhao Feng.


    "Qinxin is doing very well right now. There''s no need for you to worry!" This was all Zhao Feng could say at the moment.


    Very few people in the Azure Flower Continent knew about the Continent Zone or the Great Dynasties. If Zhao Feng started talking about the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, they would find his words even more difficult to accept.


    "Is that so?" City Lord Liu smiled, but he still appeared rather disappointed.


    "These are some things that Qinxin wanted me to give you. These are all resources that can extend one''s life. She has another matter to attend to this time, so she did not come back with me, but she said that she would definitely come back to see you!"


    Zhao Feng took out some precious resources from his interspatial dimension. These were all things he had bought from the Void Ocean Spiritual Palace. After all, all his own resources were simply too high quality. The lowest were meant to be used by Rank Six True Gods. How could he have a person at the True Spirit Realm take them?


    City Lord Liu solemnly received the resources Zhao Feng had offered. For Liu Jiutian, who was a peak True Lord, these resources were extremely valuable. If he took them all, he would be able to increase his lifespan by at least ten thousand years.


    The second day after Zhao Feng''s departure, City Lord Liu broke through into the Origin Core Realm, becoming an Origin Core Sovereign. Although the primary purpose of those resources was to increase lifespan, they had varying effects when it came to other aspects of cultivation.


    The Cloud Area, the Cloud Country, Broken Moon Clan:


    Broken Moon Clan''s strength had swelled such that it was now the number one sect of the Thirteen Countries.


    Clan Master Yang Gan''s cultivation had reached the early stage of the True Mystic Realm. After all, Yang Gan was the previous Head Disciple of the Broken Moon Clan. He originally possessed astonishing talent, and Zhao Feng had also left behind some resources before leaving. Thus, it wasn''t strange at all for him to reach this level.


    Zhao Feng had a divine status within the Cloud Country and the Broken Moon Clan. In order not to cause any unnecessary trouble, Zhao Feng only allowed a few members to know that he had returned.


    Within the forbidden ground of the Broken Moon Clan, the First Elder, Yang Gan, Lin Fan, Elder Guan, Elder Zhang, and Ran Xiaoyuan had gathered. These were, without question, the people that Zhao Feng had the best relationship within the Broken Moon Clan.


    "Zhao Feng, I didn''t think that we would be able to see you again!"


    Elder Guan and Elder Zhang were both white-haired and wrinkled. It was clear that they were approaching the end of their lifespans.


    "Martial Brother Zhao, how have you been doing in the outside world?"


    Yang Gan and Lin Fan had an utmost yearning for the world beyond the Azure Flower Continent.


    "The outside world... you''ll naturally find out once you leave." Zhao Feng smiled and decided to keep them in suspense. Within the forbidden ground, the upper echelon members of the Broken Moon Clan chatted happily with Zhao Feng. Before leaving, Zhao Feng took out some resources that could increase lifespan.


    In truth, he could directly increase the cultivations of his former colleagues. As their cultivations increased, their lifespans would naturally increase as well. However, it was best if one ascended the martial path with one''s own feet, step by step.


    After saying farewell, Zhao Feng went to see his father and mother and visit the area occupied by the members of the Zhao Family. His return naturally elicited cries of shock and celebration from everyone.


    Zhao Feng spent his following days living and accompanying his parents. Given how difficult it was to visit, Zhao Feng decided to spend a little longer in this place.


    Any powerful cultivator would have a time where they were tired and wanted to rest. Zhao Feng was in this state. He treated himself as an ordinary person, living an ordinary life with his parents, forgetting about cultivatb^ everything about the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Five years passed by. For Zhao Feng, five years was nothing at all. A single session of seclusion in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods might be five years, or perhaps a particularly long journey.


    As he prepared to leave, Zhao Feng used heaven-defying methods and high-class resources from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods to change the destinies of his parents and make them immortal.


    This was a rather lengthy process. After all, ordinary martial artists would find it very difficult to absorb True God level treasures.


    During this time, Zhao Feng researched his God Eye.


    "The Ninth God Eye? Then I''ll call you... the Dream God Eye!" Zhao Feng gave a name to the Ninth God Eye.


    In a dream, he returned to the Azure Flower Continent. This was truly too inconceivable, and he could only use "dream" to describe this God Eye.


    Zhao Feng began to research the abilities of the Ninth God Eye. This was because he discovered that using the powers of this God Eye would not affect this dimension.


    A stream of Origin energy fused into the Dream God Eye. A moment later, everything before Zhao Feng''s eyes was dyed in various dazzling colors.


    "It seems like I was in a similar state when I wiped out God Lord Silverwing and God Lord Ghost Centipede with a wave of my hand!" Zhao Feng suddenly realized something.


    If that was all real, then it was too terrifying. Wiping out a person with just a wave of his hand?


    Zhao Feng began to research and test his powers.


    One day:


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    A massive amount of Origin energy surged out of Zhao Feng''s left eye. Everything became dreamy and ethereal, all objects dyed in the most gorgeous hues of the world.


    Zhao Feng touched a table next to him.


    Booom!


    Like a popping bubble, the table disappeared.


    "That ability is real!" Zhao Feng was extremely agitated.


    By lightly touching the table, he made it disappear.


    He then touched a chair, and it similarly popped out of existence.


    When his left eye began to emit a swelling pain, he stopped.


    "This ability is quite taxing," Zhao Feng mumbled in shock.


    Although he had only wiped away a table and a chair, maintaining the state in itself consumed a great deal of energy.


    He was probably only able to maintain the state for so long the first time around and wipe out two First Heaven God Lords because his God Eye had just awakened and possessed an excessive amount of Origin energy.


    Besides the consumption of energy, Zhao Feng also sensed that he had become extremely tired, and he almost wanted to sleep.


    "It seems like this ''dreamification'' ability is also extremely taxing on my mind."


    In addition, this ability consumed Divine Power, soul power, and eye-bloodline power. Zhao Feng also recalled that the ability to turn dreams into reality was also incredibly exhausting to use.


    "Let''s just call this ''thought power''!" Zhao Feng determined after some thought.


    The abilities of "realization" and "dreamification" were the primary consumers of "thought power."


    Once Zhao Feng made his parents immortal, he left.


    "Where''s the skeletal Division Leader?" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    The skeletal Division Leader was supposed to oversee the Azure Flower Continent and maintain the peace of this place. Zhao Feng had to properly reward him for this task.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense gradually encompassed the entire Azure Flower Continent.


    But he found no trace of the skeletal Division Leader. He also didn''t find any sign of Tiemo or Patriarch Hong. It was rather strange.


    Zhao Feng went to the Iron Blood Religion and learned from its upper echelon members what happened.


    Swish!


    He instantly vanished.


    Near the outer edge of the Azure Flower Continent, two forces were floating in the middle of a vast sea of fog. The leaders of one force were a skeletal man covered in gold and silver tattoos and a large man who stood twenty feet tall.


    "Skeleton Patriarch, Clan Master Nan Wu, you have no chance of victory! Submit to the Evil Spirit Holy Sect!"


    Across from them was an emaciated elder in a black robe who spoke in a sinister voice. This person was a peak King, far above the skeletal man and the giant. This elder had four or five more experts of King level at his side.


    "Hehe, any resistance is pointless. This entire world will soon be ours!" the thin elder continued.


    The Skeleton Patriarch, Clan Master Nan Wu, and all the other top-class experts from the continent put on bitter expressions.

 1449 Dreamification

    Chapter 1449 - Dreamification


    "Hehe, any resistance is pointless. This entire world will soon be ours!" the thin elder continued.


    The Skeleton Patriarch, Clan Master Nan Wu, and the other top-class experts from the other zones all put on bitter expressions.


    Several decades ago, in a certain island of the Azure Islands Zone, a faction calling itself the Evil Spirit Holy Sect rapidly rose up, swallowing up all the other factions within the island zone in a few short years and uniting the entire island.


    The Evil Spirit Holy Sect quickly placed its focus on expanding to the other island zones. For example, the Azure Flower Continent, and also the Flowing Light Continent, which Clan Master Nan Wu was from.


    When they sensed the expansionist desires of the Evil Spirit Holy Sect, the two island zones agreed to fight it together. But to their surprise, the two island zones were defeated time and again by the Evil Spirit Holy Sect.


    Now, the three factions had begun to officially battle.


    "The entire world? Hmph, you''re too ignorant!" The skeletal Division Leader knew that it was no match for the thin elder, but this talk of ruling the entire world was truly rather laughable. Having traveled the Cang Ocean together with Zhao Feng, it naturally knew how vast this sea zone was. There were many enormous beings living within it, and to the north was the Continent Zone!


    "Keke, it''s you lot who know nothing. You''re nothing but country bumpkins!" The thin elder had a look of disdain on his face as he cruelly smiled.


    "Sect Master, they won''t submit, so let''s use strength to make them yield!" An elder with a sharp beak rushed out from the thin elder''s side, his eyes glimmering with a bloody and vicious light.


    "Kill!" The thin elder gave the order.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Bang! Boom!


    The forces of the Evil Spirit Holy Sect, seething with vicious killing intent, charged toward the combined army of the Azure Flower Continent and Flowing Light Continent.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The united army put up a spirited resistance. Patriarch Hong, Tiemo, the experts of the Canopy Great Kingdom, and upper echelon members of the Sacred Alliance were within this army.


    But a few moments later, the united army was on the back foot. The Evil Spirit Holy Sect didn''t only have a greater number of top-class experts, they also far outnumbered the two zones when it came to high-level experts.


    Based on the investigations of the two continents, the Evil Spirit Holy Sect cultivated a high-level evil art that was of a much higher level than any art to be found in the island zones.


    "Haaa, if only Zhao Feng or Yu Tianhao were here, everything would have been easily resolved." Patriarch Hong sorrowfully sighed.


    In the past, Zhao Feng and Yu Tianhao were both regarded as prodigy Kings. When Zhao Feng left the Azure Flower Continent, he was an Emperor, while Yu Tianhao was a peak Sovereign Lord. They had so much potential that there was no way of knowing what level they had reached by now.


    "So many years have passed, but there''s been no news whatsoever of Zhao Feng...." Tiemo shook his head, holding little hope.


    "Die!" Two Sovereigns of the Evil Spirit Holy Sect charged out.


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo immediately led several True Lords in fighting back.


    However, these two enemies had reached a high level in that evil art and were incredibly powerful, instantly pushing back the other side''s forces.


    Plush!


    Patriarch Hong and Tiemo both vomited blood while only one True Lord was left of the group.


    "All of you, retreat!" the skeletal Division Leader called out as an array flag appeared in its hand.


    Swish!


    A thick cloud of ghost-corpse flames appeared in the air, exuding dreadful Corpse and Hate energy. One hundred pairs of bloody and savage eyes appeared in the ghost-corpse flames.


    The Corpse energy exuded by this cloud of flames was actually a little stronger than it was when Zhao Feng had left. Each cursed ghost-corpse had an aura close to the Great Origin Core Realm.


    The appearance of the Ghost-Corpse Array had one of the Kings of the Evil Spirit Holy Sect shrinking back in fear.


    The skeletal Division Leader''s strength combined with the Ghost-Corpse Array allowed him to hold down three Void God Realm Kings at once.


    "Is this the Division Leader''s rumored Ghost-Corpse Array?" Clan Master Nan Wu glanced at the array in surprise.


    "Oh? This array might have already reached its limits, but it''s not bad." The thin elder from the Evil Spirit Holy Sect floated in the air and watched the skeletal Division Leader''s battle.


    He still hadn''t taken action at this time, but despite the best efforts of the united army, the forces of the two continents were still losing.


    This sect master has taken a liking to that array!" A wicked light flashed in the thin elder''s eyes, and he suddenly charged forward at the skeletal Division Leader.


    "Oh no!" The skeletal Division Leader grimaced as it began to pull back.


    With the Ghost-Corpse Array, it was barely able to deal with three Kings. If another King joined the fight, it would lose for sure. Moreover, this King was the strongest expert on the enemy side - the peak King Sect Master of the Evil Spirit Holy Sect.


    The thin elder extended a hand, a massive white claw of bone forming on it, and then he slashed.


    Boom! Bang!


    The massive ghost claw crashed into the Ghost-Corpse Array, unleashing terrifying Bone Dao energy. All the ghost- corpses within the Ghost-Corpse Array shattered at once, and the power of the array instantly dropped. Meanwhile, the skeletal Division Leader''s body was thrown out of the Ghost-Corpse Array.


    "No...!" The skeletal Division Leader had a miserable expression.


    This array was its strongest trump card. It only had the strength of an ordinary King, and it was only with the Ghost- Corpse Array that it was able to temporarily fight against three Kings. Without the array, their defeat was certain.


    Moreover, it had slowly nurtured the array to its current level, and Zhao Feng had left the array behind for it to use.


    "Keke, this array is mine now!" The thin elder went up to the Ghost-Corpse Array, sending a surge of Soul Intent forward to wipe out the Soul energy on the array.


    Pop! Hisss!


    The skeletal Division Leader''s soul brand was instantly wiped away.


    "Eh? There''s another person''s soul brand here, and it''s so weak!" The elder wickedly chuckled as he noticed a different soul brand on some of the ghost-corpses.


    "Mm? Who''s there?" As he touched the "weak" brand on a ghost-corpse, the thin elder suddenly sensed an unfamiliar energy, and he turned his eyes to the distance.


    The fog scattered, revealing a silver-haired man. The man was cold and handsome, his shining silver hair rippling with dreamy colors.


    You want to wipe away my soul brand?" Zhao Feng called out.


    Some of the ghost-corpses in the Ghost-Corpse Array were ones that he had personally raised in the Purple Saint Ruins. The soul brands on them had never been wiped away.


    The thin elder only noticed Zhao Feng''s existence when he touched the soul brand Zhao Feng had left behind.


    "You were the one who left behind this weak soul brand?" The elder scornfully smiled.


    Although this person was extremely bizarre and his cultivation unfathomable, if the soul brand was so weak, how could the owner be very strong?


    "Zhao Feng?" The skeletal Division Leader turned its head. After a momentary shock, it became extremely agitated.


    "Zhao Feng... he''s back!" The upper echelon members of the Sacred Alliance all turned imploring gazes to Zhao Feng.


    Back then, Zhao Feng had revealed the will of an Emperor, causing the three Kings of Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, Black Cliff Palace, and Moon Demon Palace to submit.


    "Deputy Patriarch Zhao!" The members of the Iron Blood Religion all prostrated.


    Zhao Feng had not remained with the Iron Blood Religion after becoming the deputy patriarch, nor had he ever done anything in this capacity before vanishing, but everyone in the Iron Blood Religion knew of Zhao Feng''s deeds. Even though he had never appeared, he had countless worshipers.


    Empress Qin and the Canopy King seemed to see hope, but when they thought about the grudges that existed between them and Zhao Feng, they couldn''t help but lower their heads.


    "Zhao Feng? Who''s that?" Clan Master Nan Wu focused on that icy silver-haired youth in the sky and felt like he was staring into the boundless starry sky.


    Clan Master Nan Wu was the master of the Flowing Light Continent''s number one clan. He had only heard that the skeletal Division Leader had defeated the Scarlet Moon Patriarch to unite the Azure Flower Continent, but he was not familiar with the Zhao Feng spoken of in those tales.


    The actions of the Azure Flower Continent people on the battlefield had everyone from the Evil Spirit Holy Sect stunned.


    "Who are you?" The thin elder stared at Zhao Feng.


    He had originally believed that this was some random upper echelon from the Azure Flower Continent, but from the expressions on the faces of the people from the Azure Flower Continent, this silver-haired man was not simple!


    "I''m Zhao Feng. Are you deaf?" Zhao Feng''s expression sank.


    "You...!" The elder''s face froze in rage.


    But no matter what he did, he could not sense Zhao Feng''s cultivation. Moreover, the stir Zhao Feng had created in the Azure Flower Continent army made him unwilling to act recklessly.


    At this moment:


    "Master... your subordinate was incompetent and unable to protect the Azure Flower Continent!" The skeletal Division Leader got down on one knee and apologized.


    This sight had the countless experts from the Azure Flower Continent flabbergasted. Only a few people in the Azure Flower Continent knew of the relationship between Zhao Feng and the skeletal Division Leader.


    In the eyes of the vast majority of the Azure Flower Continent, the skeletal Division Leader was the Palace Lord of the Azure Flower Continent''s number one faction, the Scarlet Moon Palace, answering to nobody and standing above all. But now, the strongest person of the Azure Flower Continent was kneeling before another and calling him master.


    "This person... just who...?" Clan Master Nan Wu was also shocked.


    The skeletal Division Leader was far stronger than he was, but this newcomer was the Division Leader''s master, so he definitely possessed extraordinary strength. The crisis they were facing might be easily resolved.


    "I will give all of you three seconds to get out of here and get out of the Azure Islands Zone!" Zhao Feng coldly stared at the thin elder.


    "What?" Zhao Feng''s words caused a great stir in the Evil Spirit Holy Sect.


    "Sect Master, let''s join together and kill this man!"


    "We have so many Kings! What are we afraid of?"


    The Kings of the Evil Spirit Holy Sect secretly messaged.


    "Three... two..." Zhao Feng softly counted.


    All the people from Azure Flower Continent were excited by this sight. From the look of it, Zhao Feng was completely confident in defeating the Evil Spirit Holy Sect.


    Meanwhile, the experts from the Flowing Light Continent stared at Zhao Feng in a daze.


    "Kid, I advise you not to make enemies of us!"


    The thin elder put on a nasty grimace as he called out.


    "...one!" When Zhao Feng said this word, the battlefield became abnormally quiet.


    "Kill this person!" the thin elder roared. He could no longer tolerate Zhao Feng''s arrogance and sheer disregard. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    All the Kings of the Evil Spirit Holy Sect moved out, unleashing their boundless energies as they rumbled toward Zhao Feng.


    The armies of the other two zones felt their hearts leap to their throats as they closely watched.


    "Dreamification." Zhao Feng sighed, and then his left eye exploded with dazzling dreamy mist.


    As a half-step God Lord, he did not want to bully the Kings and Emperors of the Continent Zone, but since his foes did not take the chance that was offered to them, they could not blame Zhao Feng.


    Besides, Zhao Feng could test out his new ability, Dreamification, on these people.


    Bzzzz!


    A moment later, everything within tens of thousands of li of Zhao Feng was dyed in dreamy color. At this moment, everyone who had been dyed in this dreamy hue inexplicably felt unprecedented danger, and they did not dare to act carelessly.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng extended a hand and waved. The five Kings charging at him suddenly scattered and vanished like dandelions confronting a strong gust of wind.


    Five Kings had simply disappeared!


    One had to realize that the entire Azure Flower Continent only had one Void God Realm King in the skeletal Division Leader, but with a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng had wiped away five Kings!

 1450 Done in Passing

    Chapter 1450 - Done in Passing


    Five Kings had been obliterated with the wave of a hand.


    All the experts present were frozen to the spot, all of them feeling like they had been struck by a bolt of lightning. They weren''t even sure how those five Kings died.


    "This... how!?" The thin elder was trembling in fear, unable to move.


    Zhao Feng had not once revealed any powerful aura of energy. Even when killing five Kings, he had not leaked out any energy. He exuded no energy and seemed like an ordinary person, but with a casual wave, he had instantly slain five Kings!


    "Emperor... no, Sacred Lord..." The elder''s fright rendered him almost speechless. He was incapable of determining Zhao Feng''s level of cultivation.


    "Zhao Feng!"


    At this moment, everyone was focused on Zhao Feng. The majority of the people from the Azure Flower Continent knew that Zhao Feng could resolve this crisis, but they hadn''t imagined that he would do so through such a shocking method.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng was digesting the effects of Dreamification.


    Wiping out a King isn''t very different from wiping out a table! Zhao Feng estimated to himself.


    The Thought power and Origin energy needed to wipe out a King wasn''t that different from the amounts needed to wipe out a table. Of course, this was because Zhao Feng''s level was too high. In his eyes, Kings weren''t even ants.


    Besides that, Zhao Feng sensed that maintaining the Dreamification state was itself very taxing.


    At this moment, the thin elder kneeled down in the air.


    "Senior... spare my life! The Evil Spirit Holy Sect is willing to serve you!" The elder''s body trembled.


    Although he was unwilling, Zhao Feng was far too powerful. He didn''t even have a chance of escaping, so it was better to compromise and then plan out what to do later.


    "Spare you? Ha!" Zhao Feng glared at the thin elder and coldly snorted. If he hadn''t happened to come back at this time, the Evil Spirit Holy Sect would have already destroyed the Azure Flower Continent. Spare him? Impossible!


    Boom!


    The world darkened as the wind flowed in reverse. An enormous energy suddenly descended, akin to the will of the heavens. At this moment, all living beings in the world sensed that their lives were no longer in their own hands.


    Boom! Bang!


    Under the pressure of this supreme strength, the elder''s body was pulverized.


    A moment later, the world returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.


    Hiss!


    The battlefield fell silent. Although they were all shocked by the silent killing of the five Kings, they did not understand how it occurred. But this time, they all clearly sensed Zhao Feng''s power, a power that could rule over the entire world.


    "Skeletal Division Leader, why didn''t the three sects of the Tianlu Islands Zone come to help the Azure Flower Continent?" Zhao Feng suddenly asked.


    Back then, he had signed a blood contract with the three sects. The three sects were forbidden from invading the Azure Flower Continent in the future, and if Azure Flower Continent asked for aid, they would have to do everything they could to protect it. But despite the Azure Flower Continent being in danger, he did not see anyone from the three sects.


    If the three sects were willing to help with all their power, then even if he hadn''t returned, the Azure Flower Continent would have never been in any danger.


    "It''s not clear. I sent a request for aid beforehand, but no one came...." the skeletal Division Leader truthfully replied.


    The Azure Flower Continent was in danger while the three sects were in another island zone, so he had no time to send anyone to see what was going on.


    "Master, what should we do with these people?" The skeletal Division Leader looked at the members of the Evil Spirit Holy Sect and looked to Zhao Feng for guidance.


    "They obey the Azure Flower Continent or die!" Zhao Feng coldly scanned the group and ordered.


    Before he could even finish speaking, all the members of the Evil Spirit Holy Sect chose to submit without the slightest complaint.


    But the skeletal Division Leader grimaced. Although all the Kings of the Evil Spirit Holy Sect had been killed, the remaining members were all extremely strong. The Scarlet Moon Palace was incapable of controlling them, and they were bound to be a problem sooner or later.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, bringing the Ghost-Corpse Array before him. A moment later, all the damage done to the Ghost-Corpse Array was repaired. At the same time, all the ghost-corpses within became stronger and stronger, greatly alarming the skeletal Division Leader.


    In less than a second, all the ghost-corpses within the array had nearly King-level energies!


    "Take it." Zhao Feng handed the brand-new Ghost-Corpse Array to the skeletal Division Leader.


    He still needed to rely on the skeletal Division Leader to protect the Azure Flower Continent, and this upgraded Ghost- Corpse Array could also be considered a sort of reward. And this array did not merely strengthen the skeletal Division Leader; it would be able to comprehend the will Zhao Feng left behind in the array to increase its own cultivation.


    "Yes!" The skeletal Division Leader was extremely agitated as he took the Ghost-Corpse Array.


    Each ghost-corpse in the Ghost-Corpse Array was nearly a King. With this array, even if it was facing three Emperors, the skeletal Division Leader could still fight back!


    Clan Master Nan Wu was stunned. With a Ghost-Corpse Array like this, the Flowing Light Continent would be safe for practically all eternity.


    Zhao Feng proceeded to converse with his old friends and gift them with resources that could prolong their lifespans. Swish!


    Zhao Feng vanished once more.


    The news of his return and the casual way in which he had wiped out the Evil Spirit Holy Sect was soon spread throughout the Azure Islands Zone, causing him to become a forbidden existence of the Azure Flower Continent and all the other islands. Even powerful factions like the Three Saints Palace regarded him with utmost solemnity.


    As he was leaving, Zhao Feng released his Divine Sense and observed the surrounding situation. The moment he arrived at the Tianlu Islands Zone, he discovered that the entire zone was in the middle of a major war that involved almost every faction in the zone. This naturally included the Moon Demon Palace, Black Cliff Palace, and Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    "No wonder the three sects couldn''t help the Azure Flower Continent. They were dealing with a crisis of their own." Zhao Feng slowly approached, observing the astonishing battle that was taking place in the Tianlu Islands Zone.


    Down below, cultivators of the Evil Dao were in fierce combat with many other sects and factions of the Tianlu Islands Zone. Even farther off, the three leaders of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect, Black Cliff Palace, and Moon Demon Palace, backed by a large army, were battling against three other people.


    The Pure Moon Spiritual Sect''s Saint Moon Aunt Goddess had encountered some lucky opportunity and was now a Void God Realm Emperor. The leaders of Black Cliff Palace and Moon Demon Palace were both peak Kings.


    But their opponents were even more terrifying. All three of them were Emperors!


    "Saint Moon Aunt Goddess, this Holy Moon Guardian Spirit Array won''t be able to last for much longer!" The Demon Dao King of Moon Demon Palace was slightly pale.


    Without the array, they wouldn''t have been able to last even a few moments against these three Emperors.


    "Damn! These people are playing with us!" the golden skeleton lamented in anger.


    The three Emperors were more than strong enough to slaughter the army of the Tianlu Islands Zone. Once they did, the three of them would be helpless to fight back.


    But these three Emperors had a reason for their actions.


    "Haha, Saint Moon Aunt Goddess, if you submit to this Emperor, the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect will be saved from extermination!" A white-haired Emperor of the Emperor trio loudly laughed.


    "Don''t even think about it!" The pure and upright Saint Moon Aunt Goddess blushed as she bellowed.


    Of course, this white-haired Emperor hadn''t taken a liking to just the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess, but all the other female disciples of the Pure Moon Spiritual Sect.


    "Haha, let me see how long you can last!" The white-haired Emperor was in no rush and continued to grind away at the forces of the Tianlu Islands Zone.


    At this moment:


    "Ah, I didn''t think that even the three sects would end up in this situation." A soft sigh came from the distance.


    "Mm?" The white-haired Emperor frowned. Sending out his Spiritual Sense, he soon spotted a silver-haired youth.


    "Big Brother, this person¡¯s strange!" a round-faced and middle-aged man next to the white-haired Emperor said.


    There was a dreadful war taking place and their side had three Emperors, but this person didn''t seem panicked at all. This was far too bizarre.


    "Zhao Feng!" The three people within the array rejoiced and immediately called out.


    Zhao Feng had reached the Emperor Realm several decades ago, so his cultivation was probably even higher now. If Zhao Feng came to their aid, they had a chance of surviving this crisis.


    "Zhao Feng, help us this time, and our three sects will be eternally grateful!" the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess immediately said.


    "It''s him!" Ye Yanyu and Zhuang Wan''er, who were being besieged, had complicated looks on their faces. They hadn''t expected that the three sects would once more have to rely on this person.


    "Good brother, you shouldn''t be someone from the Tianlu Islands Zone. If you do not intervene in this affair, the three of us will owe you a favor!" The white-haired Emperor couldn''t see through Zhao Feng, but seeing how the three great sects viewed him, he determined that Zhao Feng was not at all ordinary.


    In order to prevent any mishaps, he tried to express his goodwill to Zhao Feng. Anyone else would immediately know just which side to favor upon being offered a favor from three Emperors.


    "There''s no need for you to say anything. Back then, this Zhao promised that, if the three great sects came under any danger, I would give all the help I could." Zhao Feng ignored the three Emperors.


    The three great sects had not gone to the aid of the Azure Flower Continent. However, in comparison to the three Emperors, he had a better impression of the people of the three sects. After all, he had interacted with them quite a few times.


    "Kid, it looks like we''re going to have to force you!" The round-faced middle-aged man was enraged and prepared to strike. Since Zhao Feng said that he was going to intervene, they would strike first!


    As the middle-aged man struck, the two other Emperors also launched attacks against Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, watch out!" the three sect leaders called out in alarm.


    After all, Zhao Feng was facing three Emperors at the same time. If something happened to Zhao Feng, the three sects would be facing the same fate.


    "This place truly became a wellspring of talent in the years I was gone. To think that so much would change!" Zhao Feng coldly said.


    Zhao Feng had realized that the Yuan Qi framework of the Continent Zone had become much more stable. However, for these perimeter island zones to produce even one Emperor was already very impressive.


    Brrrooom!


    Zhao Feng coldly snorted, and then a supreme and dominating energy descended upon the three Evil Dao Emperors. "No...!" The white-haired Emperor''s body went stiff, and he prepared to beg for mercy.


    Boom! Bang!


    But a moment later, the three Emperors were obliterated by this supreme energy.


    "This..." The three sect leaders inside the array were dumbfounded. They had never imagined that the blood contract they were forced to sign back then would allow them to avoid such a calamity.


    Nearby, the fiercely battling armies both stopped.


    "What happened? The three Emperors are all dead!" Zhuang Wan''er''s beautiful face was stricken with shock. She didn''t see how the three Emperors had died because, by the time she looked over, the Emperors were already dead.


    You should be able to handle the rest," Zhao Feng turned to the Saint Moon Aunt Goddess and the others and calmly said.


    It only took a meager effort on his part to assist the three sects in compliance with the contract he made. Swish!


    As tens of thousands of people watched on, Zhao Feng vanished.


    From this moment, the Tianlu Islands Zone had another legendary figure.


    As for Zhao Feng, he continued onward toward the Continent Zone.

 1451 Continent in Crisis

    Chapter 1451 - Continent in Crisis


    As he made his way to the Continent Zone, Zhao Feng released his Divine Sense to observe the situation around him.


    He realized that the majority of the zones in the Cang Ocean were immersed in war. If he happened to be passing by, Zhao Feng would vanquish those Evil Dao cultivators who started these wars.


    "I wonder how the Mystic True Sacred Clan is doing?" Zhao Feng thought back to the clan that he had stayed with in the past.


    He hadn''t remained for long at the Mystic True Sacred Clan, nor had he built up any deep relationships, but the Mystic True Sacred Clan had served as Zhao Feng''s safe harbor, allowing him to successfully avoid the Emperor of Death''s pursuit. Without that moment to catch his breath, Zhao Feng would have never had the time to mature and turn the tables on the Emperor of Death.


    As expected, the three-star faction of the True Martial Sacred Land, the Mystic True Sacred Clan, was also facing trouble. An Evil Dao faction near the True Martial Sacred Land was developing in the shadows and gathering soldiers. Although it had yet to strike, it was only a matter of time until it assaulted the Mystic True Sacred Clan and Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan.


    Zhao Feng exterminated the leader of this Evil Dao faction before leaving the Mystic True Sacred Clan. In this way, he returned the kindness the Mystic True Sacred Clan had shown to him in saving his life.


    The Evil Dao faction that had threatened two three-star clans suddenly collapsed, and it was rumored that its Sacred Lord experts had been killed. The Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan and Mystic True Sacred Clan immediately joined together to snuff out the faction while it was in disarray.


    "Just who did this? They killed two Sacred Lords without anyone noticing!" The Grand Elders of the Mystic True Sacred Clan and Thousand Darkness Sacred Clan were both shocked. They would have never imagined that it was Zhao Feng who had resolved this danger for them.


    Zhao Feng also didn''t care about such things and continued on his way to the Continent Zone.


    To his surprise, however, the situation in the Continent Zone was several times worse than it was elsewhere in the Cang Ocean.


    Ocean Smoke Pavilion, overlooking the Nanlin Sea, had turned from an otherworldly paradise into a blasted ruin. The place was utterly deserted. The other nearby factions near the Nanlin Sea that Zhao Feng remembered were also in bleak condition, with only the low and middle echelons of their members left. Moreover, killing and pillaging could be seen wherever he looked.


    "What in the world happened?" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    At this moment, he finally began to realize that something disastrous had probably taken place in the Continent Zone. The Cang Ocean was more remote, so it had not been as greatly affected.


    "What happened to the Hall of Gods?" Zhao Feng was extremely confused.


    When Kun Yun left, the Hall of Gods was perfectly fine and was the number one faction of the Continent Zone. What happened that caused such a major shift in the Continent Zone?


    "Could it be the nonhumans? The Dark Moon Dynasty?" Zhao Feng could see many non-humans moving around. Had the Dark Moon Dynasty suddenly exploded in strength and invaded the Great Gan Dynasty?


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng vanished.


    In the Yu Province, near the Ji Family of the Eight Great Families:


    "Kill! Leave none alive!" Within the Ji Family, an old man covered in violet feathers was leading a group of soldiers in a massacre.


    This elder was an early-stage Sacred Lord, and his soldiers were mostly Kings and a few Emperors.


    "Retreat! Back to the Hall of Gods!" Within the Ji Family, a woman with starry eyes and an elegant and tranquil face was leading another group in a fighting retreat.


    While the woman was a Sacred Lord, the remaining members of the Ji Family were in the Origin Core Realm, with only an extremely small number at the Void God Realms. The Ji Family''s forces were in desperate straits.


    "Haha, even if you return to the Hall of Gods, what can you do?" A man with black wings floated in the sky, chuckling as he looked down below.


    This black-winged man was a late-stage Sacred Lord. He had yet to participate in this battle, only quietly observing the proceedings.


    "Damn! Ji Lan, you go first! We''ll do our best to delay these scoundrels!" A look of grim determination appeared on Ji Wuye¡¯s face.


    Ji Wuye and Ji Lan were both members of the Ji Family, and they had joined Zhao Feng on the battlefield of the three provinces, assisting the Ninth Prince in conquering the non-humans.


    The other members of the Ji Family were grimly determined to fight to the end.


    "If we go together, we still have a chance to escape!" Ji Lan immediately refused.


    The enemy had two Sacred Lords, and only a Sacred Lord could deal with a Sacred Lord. Once she left, the rest of the Ji Family would be unable to fight back and would be easily crushed.


    "Haha, as expected of one of the former Eight Great Families. You''ve truly got some backbone!" The black-winged man in the sky heartily laughed.


    A moment later, his body began to pulse with energy, and he charged down.


    "Not good! He''s going to attack!" Ji Lan grimaced.


    She was only an early-stage Sacred Lord. The most she could do was fight evenly with that violet-feathered man. If the late-stage Sacred Lord intervened, they would truly be in peril!


    At this moment, a roar came from the distance; "You dare!?"


    The black-winged man and all the other members were stunned by this voice. For someone to dare talk to them like this at this time was truly surprising.


    But a moment later:


    Brrrooom!


    Thunder crackled as the sky darkened. The entire world was suddenly brimming with an immense will. Everyone in the area involuntarily trembled, rendered motionless by this power.


    "This... just which powerhouse is this from!?" the black-winged man called out in fear.


    He had seen many Demigods before, but not even Demigods could inspire such dread in his heart.


    At this moment, he realized that the voice had come from very far away. Thus, the voice had arrived before the person.


    "Some expert must be passing by!" The members of the Ji Family looked expectantly into the distance. The speaker had undoubtedly come to help them.


    When a silver-haired figure appeared, many of the Ji Family members were struck dumb.


    "Zhao Feng?" Ji Lan''s face went slack as she stared at Zhao Feng''s face, her mind surging with emotion. Although his demeanor and appearance had significantly changed, she was sure that this person was Zhao Feng.


    "Senior Zhao!" Ji Wuye yelled out in shock.


    "Zhao Feng, the once-strongest expert of the Continent Zone?" The eyes of the Ji Family members sparkled as they looked at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had subdued the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon, killed True God Tian Fa from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and shaken the entire Great Gan Dynasty. Even the Dragon Emperor, who had become a True God, had not dared to do anything to him. For this reason, he had become known as the strongest expert of the Continent Zone.


    Zhao Feng had also lived with the Ji Family for a period of time. From a certain perspective, Ji Lan and Ji Wuye were his half-disciples. They had followed Zhao Feng to the battlefield of the three provinces. On the journey, Zhao Feng would often help them resolve difficulties and problems they encountered with their cultivation and eye-bloodline techniques.


    At this moment, Ji Lan was an early-stage Sacred Lord while Ji Wuye was a Quasi-Sacred Lord.


    "Zhao Feng?" The black-winged man who was about to strike suddenly thought of something and grimaced.


    Zhao Feng wasn''t just a legendary figure of the Great Gan Dynasty. He was also a taboo existence of the Dark Moon Dynasty. After all, sixty years ago, Zhao Feng was the strongest expert of the Continent Zone.


    But the tales all said that Zhao Feng had left for the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    How could it be? How come Zhao Feng is back in the Continent Zone!? the black-winged man mentally roared.


    No one from the Continent Zone had ever gone to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and then returned.


    "The Dark Moon Dynasty truly doesn''t know what''s good for it!" Zhao Feng''s expression was ice-cold.


    Down below, the violet-feathered man and his army all trembled in fear, not daring to speak.


    "Senior, listen to my explanation. The Dark Moon Dynasty was not responsible for-" The black-winged man began to hastily talk.


    "Die!" Unmoved, Zhao Feng thrust out a finger.


    Thwish!


    A chaotic bolt of silver energy shot forward. This silver bolt did not move very quickly, but the black-winged man and the others discovered that they couldn''t move.


    Boom! Bang!


    The silver bolt began to exude a powerful devouring force. The black-winged man and his companions were torn to shreds until nothing remained.


    Hwooom!


    That devouring energy even caused a tear in space, allowing forbidden energy to seep in. Zhao Feng didn''t control his power well this time, and the attack he used had pushed the Continent Zone to its limit and almost tore apart the dimension.


    The Ji Family members were extremely excited to see their enemies instantly slain. This was truly the strongest expert of the Continent Zone. Now that he had appeared, there was a chance of saving the Great Gan Dynasty.


    "What of Senior Star Demon?" Zhao Feng asked Ji Lan and Ji Wuye. How was it that the Ji Family had such few people left, and only Ji Lan as a Sacred Lord?


    "Senior Zhao, Senior Star Demon is fine. They''re all at the Hall of Gods," Ji Lan somewhat calmed herself down before saying.


    "Good." Zhao Feng sighed in relief. Sacred Lord Star Demon of the Ji Family had been of significant assistance to him back then. He feared that everyone else had been killed.


    "All of this was because of a person called True God Spirit Demon!" Ji Lan bitterly said in anguish.


    "True God?" Zhao Feng was astonished.


    A True God expert had appeared in the Continent Zone? But why would a mighty True God remain in such a low-class dimension?


    Zhao Feng did not ask any more questions. Ji Lan was only an early-stage Sacred Lord, so she wouldn''t know much. He was confident that he would learn everything once he got back to the Hall of Gods.


    In Yu Province, the Hall of Gods was the last safe haven of the Great Gan Dynasty. Grand Imperial Hall, Sky Suspension Palace, the Eight Great Families; almost everyone was gathered here. All the top-class experts of the Great Gan Dynasty had gathered within a secret hall.


    "Must we just sit here and let them have their way with us?" Demigod Taichi of the Grand Imperial Hall was enraged.


    Ever since True God Dragon Emperor had headed for the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Demigod Taichi had become the leader of Grand Imperial Hall.


    "But True God Spirit Demon is too powerful. In just a few short years, so much of the Great Gan Dynasty has already fallen!" Demigod Withered Breath of Sky Suspension Palace had a rather dejected aura.


    He had once been the strongest Demigod of Sky Suspension Palace, but he had been heavily injured and did not have long to live.


    "Only one month is left!" The Sacred Emperor of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty, clothed in a golden dragon robe, was incredibly worried.


    True God Spirit Demon had only given them one month. If they did not submit, he would bathe the entire Great Gan Dynasty in blood.


    "Why don''t we just surrender?"


    "At least we''ll survive."


    Quite a few experts in the hall softly said.


    In the face of death, the majority of people would become afraid and beg for that one last chance of survival.


    "There''s definitely a chance to win!" a woman wearing a moon robe from Ocean Smoke Pavilion said, her face stubborn.


    This person was the current Hall Master of the Hall of Gods, Bi Qingyue. Although she was only an early-stage Sacred Lord, she possessed supreme prestige. The majority of the upper echelon members of the Hall of Gods had absolute


    trust in her.


    "What chance of victory is there?" Demigod Taichi had an extremely gloomy expression as he spoke.


    At this moment, a person appeared in the center of the hall.


    "Who''s there!?" all the experts called out in shock, their hearts thumping.

 1452 Intrusive Dream

    Chapter 1452 - Intrusive Dream


    "Who''s there!?" all the experts called out in shock, their hearts thumping.


    The people in this hall were the top-class experts or leaders of the Great Gan Dynasty, but this person managed to infiltrate this place without anyone realizing it.


    The first person that came to everyone''s mind was True God Spirit Demon, and all of them became vigilant. But when they got a closer look, they were left dumbstruck.


    "Grand Elder, welcome back!" Bi Qingyue was the first to stand up.


    The words "Grand Elder" made the identity of this silver-haired man obvious: the strongest expert of the Continent Zone, Zhao Feng!


    "Welcome back, Grand Elder!" Supreme Emperor Dark Night called out.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night was also one of the major figures of the Hall of Gods. He was now a late-stage Sacred Lord, only one step away from becoming a Sacred King.


    All the members of the Hall of Gods got down on their knees.


    Zhao Feng had some impression of a few of them, but the majority were strangers.


    "Zhao Feng!?" Demigod Taichi felt his knees go weak. He had never imagined that the person who caused a change in who ruled the Great Gan Dynasty would appear once more.


    Indeed, the existence of the Hall of Gods eventually seized control of the Great Gan Dynasty from the Grand Imperial Hall.


    However, after Nan Gongsheng and Kun Yun left, the Hall of Gods was bereft of Demigods, allowing Grand Imperial Hall to seize back control.


    But the Hall of Gods had a rather sturdy foundation and powerful allies throughout the dynasty. Six of the Eight Great Clans had thrown their lot in with the Hall of Gods, and it had deep relationships with both Sky Suspension Palace and Sky Sword Pavilion. Thus, Grand Imperial Hall decided to wait a while and draw away these other factions before finally toppling the Hall of Gods, but the arrival of True God Spirit Demon had disrupted all their plans.


    Demigod Taichi would have never imagined that Zhao Feng would return from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Based on what he knew, in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, one had to be part of a major faction and pay an enormous price to return to an outer dimension.


    If True God Spirit Demon hadn''t appeared, he might have already started to attack the Hall of Gods. If Zhao Feng had returned at that time, Grand Imperial Hall would have probably been completely wiped out.


    "Brother Zhao, it really is you!" The Sacred Emperor of the Great Gan Dynasty was also extremely excited.


    The current Sacred Emperor was naturally the former Ninth Prince. He was primarily able to ascend to the throne because of Zhao Feng. Alas, the Great Gan Dynasty was currently in an awful state.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re back!" The others were also excited.


    Quite a few of them didn''t have any sort of relationship with Zhao Feng, or even an adversarial one, but at this moment, the fate of the Great Gan Dynasty was on the line. The appearance of this former strongest expert of the Continent Zone gave them hope.


    "Bi Qingyue, tell me everything that has happened," Zhao Feng indifferently said.


    "Yes, all this is because of a person called True God Spirit Demon..." Bi Qingyue told everything that she knew.


    The Hall of Gods had a team meant especially for intelligence gathering, and it had an extremely detailed report on True God Spirit Demon.


    Twenty-five years ago, a person calling himself True God Spirit Demon had appeared in the Continent Zone. At the time, this person wasn''t even a Sacred Lord.


    From the moment he appeared, he began to wantonly commit crimes. Although he offended many, True God Spirit Demon would always kill his pursuers.


    He later on attracted the attention of major factions like the Hall of Gods and Grand Imperial Hall, but by then, True God Spirit Demon was immensely powerful. The attempts by the major factions to surround and kill him all failed.


    In those twenty-some years, he went from someone weaker than a Sacred Lord to a True God, becoming the strongest expert of the Continent Zone.


    "Why did he ally with the nonhumans?" Zhao Feng was rather confused.


    "When that person was wreaking havoc throughout the Great Gan Dynasty, he didn''t let the Dark Moon Dynasty go either. When he reached the True God level, he happened to be in the Dark Moon Dynasty, and his formidable strength intimidated the Dark Moon Dynasty into yielding." Bi Qingyue answered Zhao Feng''s question.


    "Haaa..." Zhao Feng softly sighed.


    The Yuan Qi framework of the Continent Zone was more stable than it was in the past. Logically speaking, the Continent Zone should have been even stronger than it was in Zhao Feng''s time.


    If the experts of both dynasties had joined together, they should have been able to deal with a True God. After all, a True God could only actually use power weaker than a True God, or else they would be expelled from the dimension.


    Alas, the feud between the two dynasties was too great. This caused the fall of the Dark Moon Dynasty and the imminent destruction of the Great Gan Dynasty.


    "Zhao Feng, the Great Gan Dynasty will have to rely on you for this!" Sky Suspension Palace''s Demigod Withered Breath''s eyes twinkled.


    Since Zhao Feng had returned from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he had to be a Tue God at the very least. He might only be able to use sub-True-God power in the Continent Zone, but that just put Zhao Feng and True God Spirit Demon on the same level. At the very least, Zhao Feng could hold True God Spirit Demon down.


    "I won''t let him do as he pleases!" Zhao Feng''s eyes were cold.


    This True God Spirit Demon had thrown the Great Gan Dynasty into such disarray and even affected the state of the Cang Ocean and the Azure Flower Continent. He couldn''t just let this continue.


    All the experts sighed in relief and smiled. Although they hadn''t won yet, they saw hope in their despair.


    "Zhao Feng, what sort of plan do you have? We have to eliminate this True God Spirit Demon or drive him away, or else the Continent Zone will never be at peace!" Demigod Taichi inquired.


    "That''s right!" The others repeatedly nodded.


    In this place, Zhao Feng could only use the same level of power as True God Spirit Demon. A meticulous plan would be needed to kill him.


    "We''ll just attack," Zhao Feng said without thinking.


    In the wars in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he couldn''t even be bothered to kill puny True Gods.


    "Zhao Feng, you can definitely defeat him!" a black-haired man said, his eyes flashing with sharp light. This person was none other than Yu Tianhao. He was currently a Sacred King, the member of Zhao Feng''s acquaintances who had made the most progress.


    "Absolutely not!" The Demigods present immediately refused.


    Even if Zhao Feng could hold down True God Spirit Demon in a head-on confrontation, the Great Gan Dynasty had been greatly wounded and would be no match for the Dark Moon Dynasty. Moreover, the enemy side probably did not know that Zhao Feng had returned. They had to think of a plan that could catch the enemy off guard and eliminate True God Spirit Demon.


    Then let''s just wait for him to come over and send himself to his death," Zhao Feng thought it over before saying. In any case, he had decided to remain in the Continent Zone for a spell.


    After saying this, Zhao Feng left.


    "Haaa, even though Zhao Feng is a True God, he''s still too young and impulsive!" Demigod Withered Breath sighed.


    "Hall Master Bi, try to persuade Zhao Feng!" the Sky Sword Pavilion Demigod said.


    The fate of the dynasty was at stake. This was no game.


    "The Grand Elder said that we wait here for the enemy, so the Hall of Gods will wait!" Bi Qingyue was unmoved. Normally, she would have listened to the advice of others, but she believed in all of Zhao Feng''s decisions.


    The Hall of Gods delegation left.


    The other factions could do nothing except accept. Without the cooperation of the Hall of Gods, discussing other plans was pointless. Moreover, now that Zhao Feng was back, at least the Great Gan Dynasty could fight back and didn''t just have to sit around waiting to be massacred.


    Zhao Feng spent the following days in seclusion within the Spacetime Robe. He primarily researched the Dream God Eye.


    "The God Eye''s awakening can''t have resulted in only the Dreamification ability!" Zhao Feng began to think.


    In the end, he decided to try out illusion arts.


    Zhao Feng had always been skilled in illusions, and the abilities of the Dream God Eye seemed to be somewhat related to illusions.


    "Forbidden Illusion Lost World...." Zhao Feng thought of his Illusion Dao eye-bloodline technique. "I wonder what would happen if I used Origin energy to create an Illusion Dao Dimension?"


    Zhao Feng began to circulate his Origin energy.


    Three days later, he had used the Dream God Eye''s Origin energy to create a mental dimension. There was a simple maze in this dimension, but everything was in dazzling dream-like colors.


    "So real!" Zhao Feng sent his mind into this dimension, but he felt as if this was a real dimension.


    In addition, in this dimension, Zhao Feng could change anything he wanted. After being changed, everything would still seem as real as could be.


    "I need a research subject!"


    In researching God Eye arts, it was best if he had a target.


    Zhao Feng turned his eyes to the nearby Black Destruction Dragon.


    Bzzzz!


    He focused his left eye.


    The Black Destruction Dragon immediately awakened with a start. As Zhao Feng''s left eye focused, the Black Destruction Dragon''s Soul Intent was inexplicably plunged into another dimension, but its body remained where it was, motionless.


    "This is...?" The Black Destruction Dragon felt like it had fallen into a strange dream, but everything in this dream seemed exceedingly real. Even his master''s energy seemed no different from the real one.


    "Eh? What''s going on?" Zhao Feng stared at the Black Destruction Dragon. He sensed that both it and himself were inside a strange Dream Dimension. He could clearly make out every scale on the dragon''s body, could sense it breathe, and feel the blood flow through its body.


    "This is way too real...." Zhao Feng looked at the Black Destruction Dragon, formed a Chaos Origin Divine Sword, and casually slashed.


    "Master? What''s wrong with you?" The Black Destruction Dragon was alarmed.


    "AhCaught off guard, it was struck by Zhao Feng¡¯s sword, a wound appearing on its body.


    "What''s this?" Zhao Feng was dazed. The Black Destruction Dragon''s scream was incredibly real, causing him to stop attacking.


    Swish!


    His mind withdrew from the Dream Dimension, and all the images vanished.


    "Ah...!" The screams of the Black Destruction Dragon resonated throughout the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    "This... how?" The Black Destruction Dragon was in disbelief as it stared at the gruesome wound on its body. It was exactly the same as the wound that had been made in the dream!


    Everything that happened in the dream came true. This was far too frightening!


    "What happens in the Dream Dimension also occurs in reality!?" Zhao Feng stared at the Black Destruction Dragon in shock.


    Just now, only the Black Destruction Dragon''s mind was in the Dream Dimension he had created. And yet, when he attacked the Black Destruction Dragon in the Dream Dimension, the Black Destruction Dragon''s real body was also wounded.


    "Could it be...? Little Black, let''s try again!" Zhao Feng was extremely interested and smiled at the Black Destruction Dragon.


    "No... Master, this isn''t some joke!" The Black Destruction Dragon paled.


    But it didn''t matter if it refused.


    Zhao Feng spent the following period researching this ability in the Spacetime Robe.


    He could pull the minds of others into his Dream Dimension. In the Dream Dimension, wounds inflicted on others would be reflected in reality!


    Zhao Feng called this ability Intrusive Dream.


    One day, everyone in the Hall of Gods sensed an oppressive energy.


    "They''re coming!" Everyone in the Hall of Gods began to take up their positions.


    A vast army was approaching.


    Gradually, a violet-haired old man appeared. This old man was seated on a massive throne made from countless bones. He appeared like a supreme emperor. This person was True God Spirit Demon.


    Behind him was the Dark Moon Dynasty''s vast army.


    "Hall Master Bi, why hasn''t Zhao Feng come out yet?" Demigod Taichi anxiously asked. He felt like Zhao Feng was treating this like a game.


    The other experts also felt nervous.


    "You have ten seconds to tell me your decision," True God Spirit Demon looked down and casually said.


    "Ten... nine... three..." True God Spirit Demon slowly counted down.


    The members of the Hall of Gods gradually began to panic.


    "One. Since you''ve refused to surrender, don''t blame." True God Spirit Demon''s eyes chilled.


    But before he could finish, an icy voice interrupted him, "You''ve finally come to send yourself to death?"


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng appeared in the sky.

 1453 True God Spirit Demons Origin

    Chapter 1453 - True God Spirit Demon''s Origin "You''ve finally come to send yourself to death?"


    Zhao Feng suddenly appeared in the sky.


    His appearance immediately stabilized the morale of the Great Gan Dynasty army. Only Zhao Feng could deal with True God Spirit Demon.


    But his words were, in their view, a little too arrogant. The two of them were both restricted to the same level in the amount of power they could use. Achieving victory would be incredibly difficult, let alone killing their foe.


    "Mm?" True God Spirit Demon, seated on his bone throne, stared at Zhao Feng.


    He discovered that he was somewhat unable to see through this person.


    One had to understand that, in his prime, True God Spirit Demon was a Rank Six True God. Although he had only recently returned to being a Rank One True God, he still had the insight and experience of a Rank Six.


    "Zhao Feng!?" Several Demigods among the non-humans blurted out Zhao Feng''s name in panic.


    But when they looked at True God Spirit Demon, they calmed back down. With True God Spirit Demon here, even Zhao Feng was no longer that frightening.


    "No wonder the Great Gan Dynasty refused to surrender. It invited a very capable person!" True God Spirit Demon''s expression turned serious.


    Meanwhile, he immediately messaged the members of the Dark Moon Dynasty, requesting information on Zhao Feng.


    Your Excellency, before you, Zhao Feng was the strongest expert of the Continent Zone, but there has been no sign of him for the last few decades. It was rumored that he went to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods fifty to sixty years ago...." a Demigod of the Dark Moon Dynasty told True God Spirit Demon everything he knew.


    "Even if this person really did go to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, sixty years isn''t enough to accomplish very much, much less allow him to return to an outer dimension...." True God Spirit Demon had a deep understanding of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    How could a person from an outer dimension who had entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods mature so quickly that they would be able to return to the outer dimension? One had to realize that True Gods were extremely commonplace in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and in the wars between major factions, low-rank True Gods were just cannon fodder.


    Thus, he conjectured that Zhao Feng hadn''t gone to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods at all, instead living in the Continent Zone under a different name or spending the last sixty years in seclusion.


    "If you are willing to submit to this True God, I can guarantee that once you enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, you will receive better treatment than a typical True God, granting you a higher starting point. Think about this very carefully!" True God Spirit Demon looked at Zhao Feng and proudly declared.


    "Is Zhao Feng confident about defeating True God Spirit Demon?"


    "It''s hard to say. True God Spirit Demon seems to feel like his victory is certain...."


    The members of the Great Gan Dynasty began to worry.


    From True God Spirit Demon''s tone, he seemed to have a very deep understanding of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    The Dark Moon Dynasty members chuckled to themselves in surprise. At the very least, by serving True God Spirit Demon, they might be able to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods with his assistance. True God Spirit Demon seemed to have quite some skill, so following him would allow one to have many opportunities.


    "Hah, you don''t even have the right to be my slave." Zhao Feng coldly laughed. This person actually wanted him to submit? One had to understand that any one of his subordinates could beat True God Spirit Demon black and blue.


    "Haha, the ignorant and brash are bound to die gruesome deaths!" True God Spirit Demon stood up, his body exuding an oppressive and evil aura.


    The experts from both dynasties were immediately rendered incapable of raising their heads. All they could do was tremble in fear.


    But Zhao Feng was completely unaffected and continued to float in the sky.


    "Who sent you?" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused. Why would a True God wander over to an outer dimension? What was his goal?


    "Someone about to die doesn''t need to know that much!" True God Spirit Demon''s face chilled, and then he vanished from his throne.


    A moment later, he appeared in front of Zhao Feng, sinister and bizarre energy spreading out from him.


    Fwooosh!


    Endless ghostly mist spewed out of his body, condensing into various strange and savage heads.


    "Die!" True God Spirit Demon roared, the ghostly heads around him opening their maws and lunging at Zhao Feng. "Junior, even if we''re using the same level of strength, you''re still no match for me!" True God Spirit Demon laughed.


    They could use the same level of strength, but he was a Rank Six True God in his prime. His understanding and skill were both far above normal.


    True God Spirit Demon''s powerful assault and his proclamation had countless members of the Great Gan Dynasty turning nervous.


    "This True God Spirit Demon must be some bigshot of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods! If he''s so confident, Zhao Feng is definitely no match for him!" Demigod Taichi began to panic.


    "Is that so?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled, and then he vanished, escaping True God Spirit Demon''s circling attacks. A moment later, he appeared behind True God Spirit Demon.


    "Intrusive Dream!" Zhao Feng''s left eye began to rotate, a dreamy maze appearing within.


    At this moment, the dreamy light emitted by his left eye was shining over the entire world, turning it from gloomy and dark into a dreamy paradise.


    Whoosh!


    A moment later, the world returned to normal. Zhao Feng and True God Spirit Demon were standing in the air, motionless.


    "What happened to them?" Countless people from both dynasties were shocked and alarmed. However, they did not dare to approach Zhao Feng and True God Spirit Demon.


    Within the Dream Dimension:


    "What''s going on? This place is..." True God Spirit Demon sensed that he had suddenly entered some sort of dreamscape. But everything in the dream seemed incredibly real.


    "Kid, was this your doing?" True God Spirit Demon stared at Zhao Feng.


    Kabooom!


    Strange black mist began to rise from his body.


    "Eh? There''s no spatial restriction here?" True God Spirit Demon suddenly realized that he could use his full Rank One True God strength in this dimension.


    Boom!


    The black mist behind swelled to three times its original size, and one massive head after another floated up to look down upon Zhao Feng.


    "Die!" True God Spirit Demon roared, the ghostly heads surging toward Zhao Feng.


    The savage and sinister heads were on the verge of engulfing Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng continued to stand there, completely unperturbed.


    "What an idiot!" Zhao Feng called out.


    Disappear! An intense thought appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind. A moment later, all the heads of black mist vanished like puffs of smoke.


    "This... how?" True God Spirit Demon''s face paled in disbelief.


    "In this place, it doesn''t matter how strong you are!" Zhao Feng smiled.


    In this Dream Dimension formed from the Origin energy of the Dream God Eye, he was God, controller of all.


    Bzzzz!


    Several thick chains suddenly appeared around True God Spirit Demon, tightly binding him and making him incapable of movement. At the same time, sharp swords appeared in the air, all of them pointed at True God Spirit Demon.


    Swooosh!


    In a flash, one hundred and three swords stabbed into True God Spirit Demon''s body.


    "Ah...!" True God Spirit Demon''s wretched screams echoed throughout the Dream Dimension.


    Swoosh! Swish!


    The sharp swords pierced straight through True God Spirit Demon''s body.


    In the outside world, one bloody wound after another appeared on True God Spirit Demon''s body, leaving the members of both dynasties shocked.


    In truth, Zhao Feng could have instantly killed True God Spirit Demon, but given the mess True God Spirit Demon had made of the Continent Zone, Zhao Feng needed to torture him a bit in order to vent his rage. Moreover, this was also a perfect time to test out his Intrusive Dream.


    "Aaaah...! Please spare me! I wasn''t sent by anyone! I''ve always been in the Continent Zone.... Spare me! I''m willing to be your slave!" A few moments later, True God Spirit Demon began to beg for his life.


    "I said before, you''re no good!" Zhao Feng''s expression chilled.


    True God Spirit Demon''s words didn''t convince him.


    Swish!


    He appeared next to True God Spirit Demon, his powerful soul energy surging as he began to search True God Spirit Demon''s soul.


    "This soul energy... Ancient God, half-step God Lord... no, God Lord!?" True God Spirit Demon was scared out of his wits.


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was incredibly powerful. He had only ever encountered one God Lord in his life, and Zhao Feng exuded the exact same kind of Soul Intent!


    "Eh? This fellow was telling the truth...?" Zhao Feng learned everything from the memories in True God Spirit Demon''s soul.


    As it turned out, True God Spirit Demon had escaped from the Imperial Tombs. Coincidentally, Zhao Feng had run into him before; he was none other than the mysterious expert beneath the bronze pillar.


    At the time, it was precisely Zhao Feng''s group that had accidentally caused a crack to open in the seal, giving True God Spirit Demon a chance to escape. On a certain level, this was Zhao Feng''s fault.


    As for why True God Spirit Demon had remained in the Continent Zone, he apparently wanted to know what it felt like to rule over everything.


    Zhao Feng could somewhat understand. In wars between the five-star factions of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, ordinary True Gods were just cannon fodder, but in the outer dimensions, True Gods were supreme.


    Besides that, True God Spirit Demon had another goal. He wanted the key to open the Imperial Tombs, held by the Sacred Emperor of the Great Gan Dynasty.


    The Imperial Tombs clearly resided in a high-level ancient dimension. There were probably many treasures hidden within, and there was also a Heaven''s Legacy Race city inside. For True God Spirit Demon, who need resources to recover his cultivation, this truly was an enormous temptation.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s mind withdrew from the dimension, and the images before him vanished.


    In the outside world, the members of both dynasties could only watch while countless wounds appeared on True God Spirit Demon''s body as he inexplicably screamed.


    Whoosh!


    The screams stopped, and True God Spirit Demon''s body plunged to the ground.


    On the other side, luster returned to Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    "Your Excellency!"


    "How could this be?"


    Countless experts from the Dark Moon Dynasty yelped in surprise. They sensed that True God Spirit Demon was devoid of energy and already dead!


    In contrast, the Great Gan Dynasty members were all frozen to their spots, unable to comprehend what had just happened. From start to finish, Zhao Feng hadn''t even done anything while True God Spirit Demon just screamed and screamed until he was suddenly dead!


    "This, this... how did he manage to do this!?" Demigod Taichi was flabbergasted.


    Earlier, he was still wondering if Zhao Feng was any match for True God Spirit Demon. In the end, True God Spirit Demon only glanced at Zhao Feng and then died a miserable death!


    "He really did have the skill!" Demigod Withered Breath was stunned and extremely excited.


    When Zhao Feng said that he would just attack, they all felt that it was just the rashness and arrogance of youth.


    "In the future, the two dynasties are not to invade each other!" Zhao Feng growled.


    The nonhumans also lived on the Continent Zone. He couldn''t just massacre the entirety of the Dark Moon Dynasty. "Run, hurry!" The Dark Moon Dynasty army crumbled as everyone fled in panic.


    "It''s over. Go and do whatever it is you should be doing." Zhao Feng turned to the Great Gan Dynasty members. Afterward, the remaining factions began to leave the Hall of Gods.


    But Zhao Feng told the current Sacred Emperor to hold on for a moment.


    "Brother Zhao is interested in the Imperial Tombs?" The Sacred Emperor took out a gray-white stone plate. This was the key to opening the Imperial Tombs.

 1454 Law of Space

    Chapter 1454 - Law of Space


    "Can the Imperial Tombs be opened right now?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    "What does Brother Zhao want to do in the Imperial Tombs? Besides, the Imperial Tombs are extremely repellent to Sacred Lords, let alone an expert of Brother Zhao''s level!" The Sacred Emperor voiced his doubts.


    "True God Spirit Demon escaped from the Imperial Tombs," Zhao Feng directly said.


    He wanted to head into the Imperial Tombs to see if there weren''t any other hidden dangers of this sort. Once he left the Continent Zone this time, Zhao Feng had no idea when he would be back, or if there would even be a next time. He could only hope that his home would remain safe and peaceful.


    "What?" The Sacred Emperor grimaced. He had no idea that this was the case.


    "Open the Imperial Tombs and I''ll try to get in. If I fail, then forget it," Zhao Feng said after some thought.


    The dimension in which the Imperial Tombs resided was not complete, and so it was abnormally weak. Trying to force his way in would undoubtedly deal a destructive blow to the dimension.


    But Zhao Feng still wanted to try.


    "Okay." The Sacred Emperor agreed.


    The Sacred Emperor followed Zhao Feng to the forbidden grounds of the Hall of Gods.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    A silver light shot out of the center of the stone plate, releasing powerful spatial ripples. Gradually, a barrier of twisted silver light took form.


    "Brother Zhao, be careful!" the Sacred Emperor warned. No matter how strong Zhao Feng was, if he tried to force his way, the spatial backlash would probably still kill him.


    But the Sacred Emperor was unaware that not even spatial fissures could wound Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng nodded and approached the passage. He was not worried about the spatial backlash, but of the possibility that he might accidentally destroy the Imperial Tombs.


    Perhaps the God Eye''s abilities will let me safely enter, Zhao Feng muttered to himself.


    His God Eye abilities were usable in the Continent Zone and also had no effect on the Continent Zone''s dimensional stability. This meant that his God Eye powers were probably usable in the Imperial Tombs as well.


    Bzzzz!


    Within the God Eye Dimension, the dreamy silver ball began to exude large amounts of Origin energy. Gradually, Zhao Feng''s body became covered in a light dreamy mist. The entire hall was lit up by this dazzling dreamy mist.


    Zhao Feng slowly began to approach the spatial passage.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng entered and vanished.


    "He really did get in, and without any signs of repulsion!" The Sacred Emperor was startled.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng appeared in an ancient forest.


    The weak suppression of the ancient energy around him had no effect on Zhao Feng. On the contrary, this ancient energy made him feel a hint of warmth.


    With a scan of his Divine Sense, Zhao Feng was able to get a clear understanding of the situation in the Imperial Tombs. Other than the escaped True God Spirit Demon in Black Wind Canyon, Zhao Feng discovered another hidden danger. Thus, he disposed of it.


    With this done, Zhao Feng took a stroll through the Imperial Tombs.


    Back then, he had assisted the Ninth Prince in this place in his clash with the other princes. And it was also here that he had once more killed the Emperor of Death and seized the Eye of Death.


    There was fighting and killing in this place, but also many opportunities.


    "Why don''t I leave my own legacy in this place?" Zhao Feng found this idea rather interesting.


    The Imperial Tombs contained many legacies, big and small. If Zhao Feng left behind a legacy, it would definitely be of a higher level than any other legacy in this place, but obtaining it would also be unimaginably difficult.


    However, Zhao Feng realized that he didn''t have any low-level resources. In the end, he left behind some arts and skills going from Sacred Lord to True God as well as some profound ancient Origin energy.


    "Let''s take a look around the Heaven''s Legacy city!" Zhao Feng went to the center of the Imperial Tombs to the Heaven''s Legacy city.


    After strolling around the Heaven''s Legacy city once, Zhao Feng swiftly departed.


    "As expected, this low-level Heaven''s Legacy city doesn''t have what I need." Zhao Feng had long ago expected this.


    He was already a half-step God Lord. Just how could the Heaven''s Legacy city of a low-level dimension like this possibly have anything a half-step God Lord would need?


    Take, for example, the Ten Thousand Blood Palace, which could strengthen and transplant ancient bloodlines. But these were all extremely low-level bloodlines. The highest was only on the level of a True God bloodline.


    Bloodlines didn''t just have ranks, but levels as well. For example, the drop of blood Zhao Feng had obtained from the Demigod Forgotten Garden that had come from Demigod Kun Yun''s last life was a priceless treasure. This was because this drop of blood was at the Demigod level while the person it was used on was much lower than that level.


    But at this point in time, even if it was a True God level bloodline, when fused into Zhao Feng''s half-step God Lord divine body, it would simply end up being devoured by Zhao Feng''s bloodline. Even if he fused with it, it wouldn''t do anything.


    "With the God Eye awakened, this is my strongest bloodline!" Zhao Feng smiled.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, the Eight Great God Eyes were comparable to the mythical top ten ancient bloodlines. And Zhao Feng conjectured that even experts of the same level as him from the top ten ancient races would be no match for him!


    Once he finished his stroll, Zhao Feng left the Imperial Tombs and returned to the Hall of Gods.


    "Although the Hall of Gods has a sturdy foundation, it doesn''t have an expert to oversee it." Zhao Feng keenly understood the state of the Hall of Gods.


    Fortunately, before he left last time, he allied the Hall of Gods with many powerful factions of the Great Gan Dynasty. Otherwise, after Kun Yun and Nan Gongsheng left, the Hall of Gods would have immediately been destroyed by all its enemies.


    "If there are no Demigods, I''ll just make Demigods!" Zhao Feng spread out his Divine Sense throughout the Hall of Gods. Through careful inspection, he discovered several cultivators with incredible potential.


    "If you are willing to swear an oath of eternal loyalty to the Hall of Gods, I will give you a chance to become Demigods!" Zhao Feng''s voice resounded in the minds of these people.


    "Grand Elder!" These words had these people either terrified or excited.


    No one could refuse the conditions Zhao Feng offered. In the end, eight members came to Zhao Feng''s residence. Four of these were Sacred Lords and four of these were in the Void God Realm.


    Zhao Feng''s current plan was to raise these four Sacred Lords into Demigods. The Void God Realm experts would be somewhat nurtured so that they would have an extremely high chance of becoming Demigods in the future.


    In addition, Zhao Feng also went to find Supreme Emperor Dark Night. Supreme Emperor Dark Night was already a Sacred King and had excellent potential.


    Although he was creating Demigods, Zhao Feng did not resort to forceful methods. He had these people enter his Spacetime Robe.


    At this moment, the time ratio in the Spacetime Robe was 100 to 1. This meant that for every 100 days inside the robe, only one day would pass in the outside world.


    While creating Demigods, Zhao Feng entered seclusion.


    "Level Nine Space Intent! The next step is the Space Law!" Zhao Feng''s heart was as bright as a mirror.


    Once he comprehended a law, it meant that he could begin to try for the God Lord level.


    But Laws were not that easy to comprehend. He spent thirty years in the Spacetime Robe, but he only achieved very minor progress with his Space Intent. In contrast, the Demigod plan was more than halfway complete.


    Zhao Feng spent the following period traveling around the Continent Zone. When his mood was good, he would find a place and go into seclusion.


    While traveling the Continent Zone, Zhao Feng would look up some old acquaintances, like the Cold Moon King of the Pirate Sacred Land. In the battle against the Emperor of Death, the Pirate Sacred Land''s Cold Moon King and other experts had risked their lives to help Zhao Feng.


    After conversing a little and gifting a few things, Zhao Feng bid farewell to the Cold Moon King and continued his travels.


    On his journeys, Zhao Feng went to the birthplace of "Zhao Feng," the person he possessed in order to recultivate, and he also went to the Duanmu Family and accompanied Duanmu Qing for a time, even occasionally chatting about how Zhao Yufei was doing in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Zhao Feng also went to the Tie Family, the Ji Family, the Yu Family, the Imperial Palace, the Sky Suspension Palace, the Sky Sword Pavilion, and many other places. This journey was a sort of experience, a way to hone and improve his mind.


    When Zhao Feng returned to the Hall of Gods, he realized that there were many aspects on which he could improve. He entered seclusion, continuing to create Demigods while cultivating.


    Zhao Feng placed his primary focus on the Dream God Eye while putting his many Intents as his second priority.


    While cultivating Intents this time, Zhao Feng discovered that his Space Intent was showing signs of improvement.


    This made Zhao Feng shift his focus to his Space Intent.


    Ten years in the Spacetime Robe went by in the blink of an eye.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The space around Zhao Feng was chaotic and distorted, apparently on the verge of shattering. Suddenly, the spatial distortion expanded.


    When the Black Destruction Dragon saw this, it immediately took everyone else in the Spacetime Robe into its Destruction Origin Dimension.


    Hisssss!


    A ripple of distorted space swept over the Black Destruction Dragon''s body. A scale on the Black Destruction Dragon''s body inexplicably shattered and vanished.


    "Master is actually comprehending a Law here!? That''s far too dangerous!" The Black Destruction Dragon was shocked and worried.


    Hwooom!


    Suddenly, a fissure appeared in the distorted space, forbidden spatial winds blowing through it. The entire Spacetime Robe Dimension began to sway.


    The spatial fissure gradually extended, shattering everything in its path. The spatial fissure was even creeping toward Zhao Feng.


    "If this continues, the Spacetime Robe might be damaged, and Master might be affected as well!" The Black Destruction Dragon became even more worried.


    The spatial fissure was just about to reach Zhao Feng''s body.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng opened his eyes, invisible Space energy rising from his body.


    Zhao Feng extended a palm.


    Hisssss!


    Gradually, the distorted Space energy gathered in Zhao Feng''s palm. At this moment, Zhao Feng grasped destructive Space energy in his hand.


    "Master, did you succeed?" The Black Destruction Dragon was stunned. Only someone who had comprehended the Law of Space could play around with Space energy like this.


    "Correct!" Zhao Feng''s lips curled into a smile.


    The energy in his hand had been produced by a Space Law. This energy could tear apart space and probably even the divine body of a typical half-step God Lord.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, and this Space energy slowly disappeared. At the same time, powerful Space energy began to spread throughout the Spacetime Robe. A few moments later, the damaged dimension was completely stabilized.


    "Now that I have a basic understanding of this Space Law, I can start my breakthrough into the God Lord level at any time!"


    Although this was the case, the chance of success was not great. In addition, he couldn''t become a God Lord in the Continent Zone, not even within the Spacetime Robe. If he did, the entire Continent Zone would be destroyed. Thus, Zhao Feng only needed to comprehend the Space Law for now. Once he returned to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, he could make his breakthrough!

 1455 Thought Teleportation

    Chapter 1455 - Thought Teleportation


    The Continent Zone returned to normal. Zhao Feng''s deeds were soon spread throughout the zone and were widely talked about. Even children only a few years old now knew his name. He wasn''t merely the strongest expert of the Continent Zone, but also its savior!


    As for the pseudo-four-star Grand Imperial Hall, it gradually returned control of the Great Gan Dynasty back to the Hall of Gods.


    The existence of Zhao Feng made the Hall of Gods a holy ground for the Great Gan Dynasty - for all of the Continent Zone. Every day, numerous factions would come to pay their respects, and numerous top-class experts would desire a meeting with Zhao Feng.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng was focused on cultivating and ignored all this. Now that he had finally comprehended a sliver of a Space Law, he seized the moment to further deepen his understanding.


    After spending six years in the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng ended his seclusion. He indeed furthered his understanding of the Space Law.


    Besides comprehending the Law, Zhao Feng had also strengthened his other Intents. He had brought his Time Intent to Level Nine and his other Intents to around Level Eight.


    "Even if I don''t use the power of the God Eye, I can still defeat a First Heaven God Lord!" Zhao Feng was rather delighted.


    The improvement to his Intents and his comprehension of the Space Law had made his Chaos Origin Divine Power so powerful that even the Divine Power of a top-class First Heaven God Lord was inferior.


    After ending his seclusion, Zhao Feng went to another part of the Spacetime Robe Dimension. There were nine people, either cross-legged in meditation or cultivating combat skills.


    These were the people he had chosen for his Demigod plan.


    Supreme Emperor Dark Night was already a Demigod at this time. Three more were at the Sacred King level and needed some more time to become a Demigod.


    Besides that, the four Emperors had now reached the Sacred Lord level.


    These people were rising very quickly in terms of cultivation, and they were also very strong among cultivators of the same level. This was because the resources they consumed had all been carefully selected by Zhao Feng from the Heaven''s Legacy city. In addition, they could also seek instruction from the Black Destruction Dragon or one of Zhao Feng''s clones.


    "The Demigod plan is nearing completion. It''s about time for me to leave!" Zhao Feng left the Spacetime Robe and regarded the vast world before him.


    "But how do I even get back to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?" Zhao Feng suddenly thought of a problem. He had fallen asleep to return to the Continent Zone, so how would he get back?


    Although the people from outer dimensions could create a path to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, that chance only came once. Once one had completely merged with the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, they would be considered as a person of that realm. Returning to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods would have to be done through another method.


    When major factions sent people to outer dimensions, they would need to expend vast sums to open a passage. When these people wanted to go back, they needed their faction in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods to open a new passage.


    But Zhao Feng had inexplicably found his way to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and he had no means of contacting the Spiritual Race back in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. This also meant that the most common method was implausible for him.


    If he wanted to get back to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Zhao Feng would have to rely on himself.


    "Now that I''ve comprehended the Space Law, I might be able to open a passage on my own!" Zhao Feng suddenly had an idea.


    But after making several attempts, he realized that this was extremely unsafe. The Continent Zone could not endure this power, and if the passage broke midway, Zhao Feng would suffer a backlash of Space energy. Besides that, the spatial passage would need to cover a vast distance, and since Zhao Feng had no experience in this aspect, a problem was liable to occur.


    "Will I have to just fly to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?" Zhao Feng became rather depressed.


    He had no idea how vast this distance was or how long it would take to traverse. Moreover, he had heard that "primal chaos rapids" existed between the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and the outer dimensions. These were so dangerous that even God Lords had an extremely high chance of dying if they carelessly tried to venture into them.


    In short, there were only two methods: creating his own path or flying over. However, both of these methods were extremely dangerous.


    "Ah, it would be great if I could just go back by going to sleep." Zhao Feng sighed.


    Suddenly, his eyes flashed. Perhaps it really was possible. After all, Zhao Feng fell asleep to return to the Continent Zone in the first place.


    The God Eye was in the middle of evolving at the time. Thus, Zhao Feng conjectured that the Dream God Eye was connected to his ability to return. In other words, the Dream God Eye had some sort of ability that could send him back to the Continent Zone.


    With this idea in mind, Zhao Feng gave up on the previous two methods and began to explore a third option.


    But in researching this ability, Zhao Feng could think of only two crucial points: sleeping and dreaming. Although this was rather unreliable, these were the only things Zhao Feng could work on.


    He returned to the Spacetime Robe Dimension, seated himself cross-legged on the ground, and began to sleep.


    Cultivators could easily fall asleep and maintain a pseudo-sleeping state. Pseudo-sleeping referred to how one was still able to maintain some consciousness while sleeping, allowing one to watch out for any danger.


    Zhao Feng quickly managed to fall asleep. When he didn''t notice anything strange, Zhao Feng immediately mobilized his Origin energy.


    A series of images began to appear in Zhao Feng''s mind, all of them covered in a dazzling dreamy light. The contents of these images were all thoughts that were going through Zhao Feng''s mind.


    When Zhao Feng thought of the Azure Flower Continent, a place in the Azure Flower Continent would appear before him, and when he thought of the Spiritual Race, the landscape of the Spiritual Race would appear.


    These scenes were all incredibly real, just like the scenes in the Dream Dimension. This meant that, as long as he fell asleep, he could easily create all kinds of Dream Dimensions.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng could even use Intrusive Dream and pull others into his dream. If he killed an enemy in his dream, they would die in reality.


    But now was not the time to research Intrusive Dream. Rather, he needed to research a method to get back to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "I remember that, back then, I was dreaming about returning to the Sky Sacred Qin Palace in the Continent Zone, and then I appeared there!"


    Zhao Feng suddenly understood that it was all based on the intense thoughts in his mind. This was very similar to his Realization and Dreamification abilities and used his Thought power.


    "Azure Flower Continent, Broken Moon Clan!" In order to prevent any mishaps, Zhao Feng used another place in the Continent Zone for an experiment.


    Zhao Feng began to think about the Broken Moon Clan, its buildings and its scenery. Gradually, a dreamy Broken Moon Clan appeared in his Dream Dimension, appearing extremely lifelike.


    Zhao Feng then began to think about a strong desire to go to the Broken Moon Clan.


    Swish!


    The cross-legged form of Zhao Feng in the Spacetime Robe disappeared Whoosh!


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng felt a swelling pain in his head, which jolted him out of his dream.


    In a flash, Zhao Feng was stunned and surprised. The landscape before him was clearly that of the Broken Moon Clan.


    "I really went to the Broken Moon Clan?" Zhao Feng''s mouth was agape. He just wanted to try it out, never thinking that he would succeed.


    By just sleeping, he really had gone to the Broken Moon Clan. This ability was truly absurd and incomprehensible.


    "What''s going on?" Several disciples in the Broken Moon Clan realized that the weather had suddenly become rather strange and eerie.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng vanished into the void.


    "If all this is real, then I can safely return to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!" Zhao Feng was extremely excited as he left the Broken Moon Clan.


    He went to a deserted area and fell asleep. This ability was too powerful, and Zhao Feng found it rather difficult to believe, so he needed to try a few more times.


    The second time he went to sleep, Zhao Feng consumed some Origin energy but failed. It was only on his fifth attempt that he was able to return to the Hall of Gods.


    Only then was Zhao Feng sure that this ability was real. He called it Thought Teleportation. If he thought of a place, he could go there.


    But this ability was not stable.


    Zhao Feng spent the following days continuing his research on Thought Teleportation. In his tests, there were even situations where he went off course. When he was clearly thinking about the Broken Moon Clan, he would end up in a place very far away from it.


    But as he made more and more tests and gained a better understanding of the ability, his success rate increased. He could now reach his target eight out of ten times.


    In addition, Zhao Feng realized that, if the area he was thinking had undergone a large transformation, the teleportation would fail. For example, Zhao Feng wanted to go to the Great Gan Imperial Palace, but the palace had been rebuilt after the war and was very different from how Zhao Feng remembered it. In this situation, Thought Teleportation was bound to fail.


    Three years later, in the Spacetime Robe, all four former Sacred Lords had become Demigods. Together with Supreme Emperor Dark Night, there were five Demigods in total. With this, the Demigod plan was complete.


    When five Demigods appeared in the Hall of Gods, the entire Continent Zone was stunned. In just a few years, five Demigods had appeared in the Hall of Gods? Everyone knew without even thinking that this had to do with Zhao Feng.


    With these five Demigods, the Hall of Gods became the number one faction of the Continent Zone in both name and reality!


    "I am giving these things to you to distribute." Zhao Feng took out an interspatial dimension and handed it to Bi Qingyue.


    There were resources useful from the Sacred Lord level to the Demigod level, all of which he had exchanged for in the Heaven''s Legacy city within the Imperial Tombs.


    Bi Qingyue''s abilities had long ago obtained Zhao Feng''s acknowledgment. He trusted that Bi Qingyue would able to distribute these resources well without any specific orders from him.


    "Master, are you going to leave?" Bi Qingyue had some understanding of Zhao Feng and could guess at a little.


    "Mm. If you are able to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods in the future, you can come and find me." Zhao Feng nodded.


    At the same time, he told Bi Qingyue and the five Demigods that if they were to enter the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, they should do their utmost to go to either the Gulong Zone or the Ziling Zone.


    People from outer dimensions would usually end up on the perimeter of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. There was a higher chance of them reaching the Gulong Zone. He could entrust the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race to take care of the people from the Continent Zone.


    If they didn''t end up near the Gulong Zone, they could head to the Ziling Zone.


    After doing all this, Zhao Feng silently left the Hall of Gods.


    After finding a deserted area, Zhao Feng lay down and fell asleep.


    "It will definitely work!" Zhao Feng was rather nervous.


    After all, he had only been using Thought Teleportation to travel around the Continent Zone. He still wasn''t sure if he could go from the Continent Zone to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "The Ziling Zone is in the center of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, so I''ll try for the Gulong Zone on the edge." Zhao Feng gradually fell asleep. Dreamy light shimmered in his mind as a set of images gradually took form.


    Considering that the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race might have changed, Zhao Feng placed his target as the Exchange Spiritual Hall from back then.


    "Blue Ocean Bay, Exchange Spiritual Hall!" This thought emerged in his mind.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng vanished like a popping bubble.

 1456 Returning to Sky Feather Island

    Chapter 1456 - Returning to Sky Feather Island


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Blue Ocean Bay, Sky Feather Island:


    Bzzzz!


    A dreamy color suddenly appeared in the skies above the Exchange Spiritual Hall, which was covered in a barrier of icy-blue light. A person soon emerged from this dreamy light.


    "I''ve arrived!" Zhao Feng opened his eyes, a gleeful look on his face. Before using the Thought Teleportation, he was somewhat worried that something would go wrong.


    "The Exchange Spiritual Hall...." Zhao Feng looked down at the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    The first place he had ever come to in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was Sky Feather Island. Later on, he had even represented the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race in competing for this Exchange Spiritual Hall, winning a major victory. This was also how he had managed to offend the Sky Feather Island Lord''s faction.


    "I wonder how the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race and the Green Jade Sheep Race are doing," Zhao Feng thought to himself as he prepared to leave.


    When he had come to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods alone and didn''t know anything, it was Yu Lin''er of the Green Jade Sheep Race who guided him around. The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was also the first place in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods that accepted him.


    But Zhao Feng noticed something strange.


    "The guards of the Exchange Spiritual Hall are from the Shark Tooth Race?" Zhao Feng was rather surprised. The Shark Tooth Race was another powerful race of Sky Feather Island.


    Before leaving Sky Feather Island the first time, he exterminated the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race Patriarch, returning the Exchange Spiritual Hall to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. But now, the majority of the guards in this Exchange Spiritual Hall were from the Shark Tooth Race?


    Scanning with his Divine Sense, Zhao Feng realized that the overseer expert of the Exchange Spiritual Hall was also from the Shark Tooth Race.


    "Which senior is this? What does senior require?" Within the Exchange Spiritual Hall, the True God was startled.


    He suddenly noticed a scanning Divine Sense. At this moment, he felt like all his secrets were exposed. With his experience as a True God, he sensed that the owner of this Divine Sense was a formidable True God. Swish!


    Zhao Feng appeared within the secret chamber.


    The elder of the Shark Tooth Race gasped when he saw Zhao Feng. A look of recollection appeared on his shocked face. Suddenly, he grimaced and jumped to his feet in panic. "Zhao... Zhao Feng!"


    Back then, the Sky Feather Island Lord had invited all the factions of the island to surround and kill Zhao Feng. The Shark Tooth Race was one of these factions, and he was one of the True Gods who had participated in the encirclement, as well as one of those lucky enough to survive.


    Zhao Feng''s power had already been deeply branded into his mind. Moreover, Zhao Feng was able to completely ignore the array domain and use Instant Movement to enter his room. This dreadful ability had the Shark Tooth Race True God trembling in fear.


    "Senior Zhao, spare me...." The Shark Tooth Race True God dropped to his knees.


    "This Exchange Spiritual Hall became the Shark Tooth Race''s?" Zhao Feng flatly spoke.


    It wasn''t anything strange for the Exchange Spiritual Hall to change owners, but the match for ownership was only held every one thousand years. This meant that the Shark Tooth Race had used other methods to obtain the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "This... is because we united together to deal with the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, forcing them to hand over the Exchange Spiritual Hall." The Shark Tooth Race elder trembled in fear. After a few moments of hesitation, he clenched his teeth and explained. Even if he didn''t talk, Zhao Feng would easily find out.


    "Senior... Senior Zhao, our Shark Tooth Race didn''t want to do this. These were all orders from above...." The Shark Tooth Race elder pleaded.


    "From above?"


    Above Sky Feather Island was Blue Ocean Bay, and Blue Ocean Bay was under the control of the Golden Jade Race.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but think back to how he had left the Gulong Zone. At the time, he essentially threw the entire Gulong Zone into chaos, with countless factions searching for him. It wasn''t hard to find out that Zhao Feng had originated from Sky Feather Island, and the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, which was connected to him, had undoubtedly been harshly interrogated by the Golden Jade Race.


    Even if Zhao Feng didn''t have any relationship with the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, Zhao Feng became wanted by the entire Gulong Zone. This meant that the intangible protection he had given to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would naturally cease to exist. This allowed the other races of Sky Feather Island to work up their courage and join together to deal with the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    These major factions had forced the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race to hand over the Exchange Spiritual Hall. With the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race Patriarch slain by Zhao Feng, the Shark Tooth Race became the strongest faction in the area, so it assumed ownership of the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted as he sent out his Soul Intent.


    If it really had been an order from above, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would have already ceased to exist. This meant that this was actually all the selfishness of the other races.


    Thump!


    The Shark Tooth Race elder''s soul was obliterated, and his body collapsed to the ground.


    Swish!


    After killing the Shark Tooth Race expert, Zhao Feng used Spatial Blink to leave the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    Four factions had gathered in the territory of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    "True God Sky Fire, we''ve come from far away, but you never came out to welcome us. This is far too rude!" A chubby middle-aged man from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race chuckled.


    Although the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Patriarch had been slain, the race had many resources that prevented its immediate decline.


    "Haha, are we not welcome?" A True God from the Emerald Green Feather Race stepped forward.


    Swish!


    In a flash of fiery light, a white-haired elder appeared in the sky. There were several other people at this elder''s side, the five elders of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. The other members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race followed.


    "My race has already handed over the Exchange Spiritual Hall. What else do you want?" Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race Patriarch True God Sky Fire had an extremely gloomy expression.


    Several decades ago, under the pressure of the six nearby major factions, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race handed over the Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "True God Sky Fire, you gave the Exchange Spiritual Hall to the Shark Tooth Race, but what did our factions gain?" The chubby man from the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race had a crafty gleam in his eyes.


    "What do you want?" True God Sky Fire''s complexion was ashen.


    "Heheh, why don''t you hand over the low-quality God Crystal vein under your feet?" The True God from the Emerald Green Feather Race wickedly chuckled.


    "If you agree, we won''t disturb you in the future, allowing a peaceful coexistence!" another True God said.


    "Don''t even think about! What do you think the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race is?" True God Sky Fire angrily retorted.


    Over the last few decades, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had only been able to get so strong so quickly because of the low-quality God Crystal vein beneath them.


    "Handing over the Exchange Spiritual Hall is the greatest concession we can make. Don''t even think about getting anything else!" The First Elder stepped forward.


    By now, the First Elder was a True God. This was also why the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had some confidence.


    "Are you challenging the other factions and trying to start a war?" The chubby man squinted until his eyes were thin slits that exuded cold light.


    "You...!" True God Sky Fire was furious yet helpless. Even if this matter got large enough for the Golden Jade Race to find out, the Golden Jade Race would not help the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, given its relationship with Zhao Feng.


    "If True God Sky Fire doesn''t mind, we''ll begin mining!" The chubby man led the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race members behind him and barged into the territory of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    True God Sky Fire and five elders watched with furious eyes, but they did not strike.


    In the crowd of Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race members:


    "Damn, if only Brother Zhao Feng was here, they wouldn''t dare to act like this!" a childish youth of the Green Jade Sheep Race resentfully said. This youth was none other than the young master of the Green Jade Sheep Race, Liu Yun.


    "Be quiet!" Yu Lin''er of the Green Jade Sheep Race whispered.


    She only had a rough understanding of Zhao Feng''s situation while Liu Yun knew absolutely nothing. Although she also hoped that Zhao Feng would appear, she also did not want Zhao Feng to return and deliver himself into death''s arms.


    "Haha, you''re talking about Zhao Feng? He''s wanted by the entire Gulong Zone. Would he even dare to return?" The chubby man laughed.


    He had barely finished speaking when an icy voice came from behind him; "You''re talking about me?"


    "Who''s there?" The chubby man immediately felt his hairs stand on end, and he immediately retreated. Just who had managed to inexplicably appear behind him without him noticing?


    As the chubby man fell back, Zhao Feng appeared before everyone. Although the color of his hair had changed, those who knew him recognized him at a glance.


    "Zhao Feng!" True God Sky Fire blurted out in shock.


    "Brother Zhao Feng!" Liu Yun cheered.


    "It really is him.... Why did he come back?" Yu Lin''er was startled, and then she panicked. After all, Zhao Feng was wanted by many factions of the Gulong Zone.


    "Zhao... Zhao Feng, you actually dared to come back!?" The chubby man''s eyes bulged in shock. In terms of strength, all of them together weren''t a match for Zhao Feng.


    "Why wouldn''t I dare?" Zhao Feng asked the chubby man.


    "Senior Zhao, we''ll be leaving now. We''ll ensure that the news of your return remains a secret!" The Emerald Green Feather Race Patriarch warmly smiled. He was confident that Zhao Feng had secretly returned and didn''t want to make too much of a stir.


    "Okay, then you can keep this secret for me." Zhao Feng sneered as he looked at the pair.


    In a flash, a powerful Soul Intent charged forward.


    Brrrooom!


    The two True Gods felt like their bodies had been immersed in a Lightning Tribulation hell, countless arcs of lightning instantly obliterating their souls. Quite a few people around them were caught up in this Soul Intent, and their souls were extinguished as well.


    Thump!


    The two True Gods and half of the members beneath the True God level fell to the ground, no longer breathing. To outsiders, it appeared like Zhao Feng had only glanced at them.


    A glance had killed them all!


    "Ah, I didn''t control it well enough." In truth, Zhao Feng had only been planning to kill the two True Gods, but these people were simply too fragile. Zhao Feng already did his utmost to control his God Lord Will, but even the smallest leak was enough to kill them.


    "Didn''t control it well enough?" A True God expert immediately began to tremble in fear.


    A lack of control had resulted in a single glance killing half their forces? If this resulted from a lack of control, then everyone present probably wouldn''t even be enough to make Zhao Feng yawn.


    "This... Senior, spare us...!M Everyone instantly kneeled.


    In contrast, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was frozen to the spot, their minds reeling in shock.


    True God Sky Fire, you can deal with these people." Zhao Feng looked at the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race Patriarch.


    Zhao Feng was the reason the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had been targeted by these races. He didn''t know what sort of injustices the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had suffered in this time period, so he let the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race decide what to do.


    Yes!" The Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race Patriarch stepped forward in shock.


    At this moment, the situation was reversed. The three factions who had come with an arrogant aura were now kneeling on the ground and begging for their lives.

    Chapter 1457 - Unable to Withstand a Single Blow


    At this moment, the situation was reversed. The three factions who had come with an arrogant aura were now kneeling on the ground and begging for their lives.


    "Unforgivable!" True God Sky Fire angrily scanned the crowd and spat out a single word.


    In the area of Sky Feather Island, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was already alone. In these last few years, the other factions had all tried to devour the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, bit by bit. If allowed to continue, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would one day be facing extinction.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, strength was everything. They were only kneeling and pleading for mercy because Zhao Feng''s strength compelled them to do so. Once Zhao Feng left or was captured, True God Sky Fire was sure that these people would continue to make trouble for the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    For the survival of his faction, True God Sky Fire would show no mercy. Moreover, these people all knew that Zhao Feng had returned. They had to all be killed!


    "Kill!" All the members of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race charged forward, seething with killing intent.


    "No... run!" In the face of this situation, the remaining members of the three factions scattered in panic.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    True God Sky Fire and the First Elder rushed ahead of them and cut off their paths of escape.


    "Kill!" The furious Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race members began to fiercely battle.


    They had endured the humiliation from the other factions for far too long, and all their rage was erupting at this moment.


    Ever since the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had obtained control of the Exchange Spiritual Hall and the low-quality God Crystal mine, its overall strength greatly increased. It now ranked in the top five of the factions on Sky Feather Island.


    It took only a few moments for the enemy forces to be severely cut down.


    "Run!" Those remaining only had death to look forward to, so they fled for their lives.


    Even though some managed to escape, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race members still managed to chase them down and end their lives.


    "Brother Zhao Feng, you finally came back!" The Green Jade Sheep Race''s Liu Yuan came up to Zhao Feng, adoration in his eyes. He already regarded Zhao Feng with incredible respect, and Zhao Feng had now returned with a nigh unimaginable level of power.


    "Zhao Feng, you need to get out of here!" True God Sky Fire immediately stepped forward, concern on his face.


    Although the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had succeeded in killing all the members from the other factions who were present, someone had undoubtedly managed to get the word out.


    In truth, True God Sky Fire was rather confused over why Zhao Feng hadn''t just killed them all immediately. In that case, they wouldn''t have even had a chance to send word of Zhao Feng''s return. True God Sky Fire was confident that Zhao Feng was strong enough to kill all those people within one or two seconds.


    "There''s no rush. I''ll wait a while here." After saying this, Zhao Feng walked into the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. "What?" True God Sky Fire was dumbfounded.


    Zhao Feng was wanted by many factions of the Gulong Zone, and yet he was in no rush to leave?


    In addition, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race had been heavily interrogated by the Golden Jade Race before this. It was only after the Golden Jade Race determined that they didn''t have a very large relationship with Zhao Feng that it finally let the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race go. But if Zhao Feng stayed here, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race would be drawn into the conflict.


    "Relax! Everything will be fine." Zhao Feng appeared to know what True God Sky Fire was worried about and added.


    Of course, other than people in the know like True God Sky Fire and the elders, the rest of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race was all too happy to hear that Zhao Feng was staying.


    Zhao Feng''s goal in staying here was very simple. In this short period of time, he would assist in molding several True Gods for the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race. In this way, the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s status in Sky Feather Island would become unshakeable.


    "What? Help us break through into the True God level?" The Second Elder and the others were stunned.


    The Second Elder was particularly surprised. When Zhao Feng first arrived at the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, the two of them were significantly at odds with each other. Now that Zhao Feng was saying that he would help him become a True God, he was truly a little incredulous.


    But they had no idea that, for a half-step God Lord like Zhao Feng, helping a Demigod break through was truly too easy.


    Three days later, the four elders, with Zhao Feng''s assistance, all become True Gods.


    But this was still not enough. The Sky Feather Island Lord was a Rank Four True God and had many Rank Three True Gods in his faction. Only this kind of power would allow one to comfortably rule over all of Sky Feather Island.


    Gods in his faction. Only this kind of power would allow one to comfortably rule over all of Sky Feather Island.


    In the following days, Zhao Feng assisted the five elders in improving their potential so that they would have a smoother path of cultivation.


    The patriarch had already reached the limits of his lifespan and didn''t have much potential left, so Zhao Feng gave him resources to increase his lifespan.


    On the tenth day, Zhao Feng felt that everything was good enough. After leaving behind some resources, he prepared to leave.


    But at this moment:


    Brrrooom!


    Many powerful energies suddenly appeared around the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    "Not good! The Shark Tooth Race, the Blue-Eyed Ice Wolf Race, the Flowing Snake Race..." The First Elder sent out his Divine Sense and grimaced.


    At this moment, almost all the races on Sky Feather Island had arrived, and there were more than twenty True Gods! This force was enough to instantly destroy the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race.


    But they also knew that these factions had only come because of Zhao Feng.


    "Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, you dare to shelter Zhao Feng!?"


    "It seems to me that they plan to follow Zhao Feng and betray this land!"


    Furious voices of reprimand came from all around.


    None of them wanted to see the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race rise. Perhaps they could use this chance to remove this threat.


    "Zhao Feng?" True God Sky Fire and the elders all looked at Zhao Feng. What would he do in this situation?


    But Zhao Feng was unmoved and unperturbed, apparently acting as if he had seen nothing at all.


    What surprised the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race even more was that, although they were surrounded by many factions, these factions were not taking any reckless actions. They seemed to be maintaining a set distance from the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race as if they were wary of something.


    At this moment:


    Bzzzzz! Broooom!


    A gold and jade light appeared on the horizon, together with a distant boom.


    "Not good! This bloodline phenomenon...! It must be the Golden Jade Race!" True God Sky Fire instantly paled.


    The Golden Jade Race was a four-and-a-half-star faction and the ruler of the Blue Ocean Bay. It controlled ten-some regions similar to Sky Feather Island.


    "We welcome the Golden Jade Race!" The members of the surrounding factions immediately got down on one knee and welcomed the Golden Jade Race.


    Whoosh!


    The Golden Jade Race experts descended. There were fifteen of them, their bodies gleaming with dazzling golden and jade light.


    The immense energy they exuded had all the four-star factions of Sky Feather Island not even daring to make a loud noise. The members below the True God level even found it rather difficult to breathe.


    "They''re all True God experts! The lowest is a Rank Four!" True God Sky Fire trembled as he broke out in a cold sweat.


    Fifteen experts, the lowest being a Rank Four True God! And the dignified elder with them was someone that none of them even dared to look at directly!


    "This person is Zhao Feng?"


    "Of the three five-star factions of the Gulong Zone, two of them have placed an astronomical bounty on him!"


    Quite a few True Gods in the Golden Jade Race group became extremely excited. Once they captured Zhao Feng and received the bounty, the entire Golden Jade Race would be able to rise to a whole new level.


    They also knew quite a bit about Zhao Feng. They had heard about how, at the Stellar Tower''s Five Star Mountain, ordinary Rank Four True Gods were no match for Zhao Feng even though he was just a Demigod. Given all the years that had passed, Zhao Feng had undoubtedly become a True God, so his strength could not be underestimated. Thus, the Golden Jade Race had mobilized all its upper echelons, including its patriarch, Ancient God Light Jade.


    "Zhao Feng, you came from Blue Ocean Bay''s Sky Feather Island, but your conduct has only brought us shame. Today, the Golden Jade Race will personally capture you!" Ancient God Light Jade righteously proclaimed.


    "Celestial Gold Array!" Ancient God Light Jade bellowed.


    In a flash, the fourteen True Gods around him began to move.


    "The Golden Jade Race is even using the Celestial Gold Array!?"


    The factions of Sky Feather Island were all stunned. Just how strong had Zhao Feng become that the Golden Jade Race would send its Ancient God and use the Celestial Gold Array?


    A few moments later, a complicated offensive array had taken shape. Fourteen golden jade swords now hovered above the heads of the fourteen True Gods, all of them exuding a chilling power.


    In one corner of the array:


    "Heh, this brat really doesn''t know the difference between life and death!" An elder wearing a jade-colored silk robe sneered. He was none other than True God Tianhua, the one who led the Golden Jade Race''s team in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension.


    Back in that secret dimension, Zhao Feng, with the help of a Rank Five True God Phoenix-Tailed Bird, had caused him to suffer a great loss.


    "Kill!" Ancient God Light Jade ordered, and the fourteen experts all attacked Zhao Feng.


    In a flash, a vast pressure bore down on Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng blinked out of the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race''s territory.


    "Hmph! A trick like this? You''re just humiliating yourself!" At this moment, Zhao Feng finally spoke.


    Kaboom!


    This brief comment, however, unleashed a massive shockwave that roared toward the Golden Jade Race group.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Celestial Gold Array immediately collapsed, all fourteen True Gods backing up and vomiting blood. Two of the weaker members even ended up dying from the shock.


    This... this is impossible!" True God Tianhua was ghastly pale as he blurted out in shock. When he first clashed with Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng had only been a Quasi-God, but now, Zhao Feng''s voice alone was enough to heavily injure all the upper echelons of the Golden Jade Race.


    Thump! Thump!


    Ancient God Light Jade had to back up a few steps before finally stopping. He turned to stare at Zhao Feng in shock. A single comment had been enough to shatter the Celestial Gold Array and injure an Ancient God!


    You still want to capture me?" Zhao Feng stared at Ancient God Light Jade.


    At this moment, Ancient God Light Jade felt like one hundred thousand mountains were pressing down on his head. His Divine Power and blood almost froze, and his body was rendered immobile.


    "No"Ancient God Light Jade squeezed out this word.


    He had long ago realized that if Zhao Feng could offend so many factions of the Gulong Zone, he undoubtedly possessed abnormal power. It was laughable to think he had actually believed that the Golden Jade Race could capture Zhao Feng. This person was strong enough to easily annihilate the entire Golden Jade Race!


    The surrounding factions of Sky Feather Island were even more shocked than the Golden Jade Race, their minds buzzing and hissing. In their eyes, Ancient Gods were incredibly powerful and unreachable, but at this moment, all of the Golden Jade Race''s upper echelons, including its Ancient God expert, weren''t even able to take one blow from Zhao Feng.


    "No... this junior was blind to greatness. Senior Zhao, please spare the Golden Jade Race!" The Golden Jade Race Patriarch, Ancient God Light Jade, immediately prostrated.


    At this moment, all the other factions kneeled down as well. Zhao Feng was truly too powerful. Not even the Ancient God of the Golden Jade Race could do anything to him. Once he started a massacre, no one would survive.


    Within the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race, all its members were watching all this in a daze. They had originally been worried about Zhao Feng''s safety, but at this moment, all the factions of Sky Feather Island and the ruler of Blue Ocean Bay, the Golden Jade Race, were down on their knees and begging for mercy!

 1458 The Storm Stirs Once More

    Chapter 1458 - The Storm Stirs Once More


    At this moment, all the factions of Sky Feather Island and the ruler of Blue Ocean Bay - the Golden Jade Race - were down on their knees and begging for mercy.


    "I was blind to greatness. Senior Zhao, please spare the Golden Jade Race!" Ancient God Light Jade, who was many years older than Zhao Feng, was actually the one calling Zhao Feng his senior.


    "You want me to spare the Golden Jade Race? Then tell me, other than the Golden Jade Race, who else knows that I''ve returned?" Zhao Feng questioned.


    "Someone from Yellow Dragon Pavilion was at my race at the time and happened to learn of the matter." Ancient God Light Jade hesitated for a moment before finally building up his courage and admitting this.


    After saying this, Ancient God Light Jade trembled all over as he fearfully looked at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and began to think. He had originally imagined that, if only the Golden Jade Race knew of this matter, he would just need to seal their mouths. He hadn''t expected that the four-and-a-half-star adjacent to the Golden Jade Race, Yellow Dragon Pavilion, had also learned of this matter. In short, more and more people were finding out, creating quite a problem for him.


    "Then I''ll go and be a guest of the Golden Jade Race." Zhao Feng opened his eyes and walked to Ancient God Light Jade.


    From the look of it, it was now impossible to conceal the news of his return. Since that was the case, he would just resolve the problem head-on.


    Ancient God Light Jade was struck dumb. What was Zhao Feng up to?


    "Good, good! Let me lead the way for Senior!" Ancient God Light Jade immediately stood up and walked in front of Zhao Feng.


    The remaining True Gods of the Golden Jade Race followed behind, not even daring to breathe too loudly.


    Once Zhao Feng had left with the Golden Jade Race members, the members of the nearby faction all sighed in relief. Fortunately, Zhao Feng was not someone who delighted in killing, or else they would all have been killed.


    "Patriarch, will Zhao Feng be okay?" the Second Elder couldn''t help but ask.


    He had his quarrels with Zhao Feng in the past, but Zhao Feng had put these grudges aside to assist him in breaking through and improving his potential, even turning his whole life around. This made him feel somewhat ashamed and worried.


    "I''m not sure either." The patriarch shook his head.


    He knew a little about the crimes Zhao Feng had committed. It was rumored that Zhao Feng had imprisoned the prodigies of many factions, including one five-star faction.


    Four-star factions were administered by four-and-a-half-star factions, and in the eyes of peak four-star factions, four- and-a-half-star factions couldn''t even withstand a single blow. As for five-star factions, these were hegemons of their zones, second only to God Realm Sacred Lands.


    Less than ten days later, Zhao Feng and Ancient God Light Jade''s group arrived at the Golden Jade Race.


    "Isn''t that person the Zhao Feng who''s wanted by so many factions of the Gulong Zone?"


    "It really is him! I didn''t think that he would dare to return!"


    Many disciples of the Golden Jade Race were astonished.


    "Hmph, Zhao Feng, in the end, you still fell into the hands of the Golden Jade Race!" A handsome and elegant youth in the crowd appeared elated.


    He was none other than Quasi-God Di Lin, who had suffered a major loss to Zhao Feng in the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension. Later, he had requested True God Tianhua to deal with Zhao Feng, but they still ended up suffering a major defeat. As a Quasi-God prodigy of the Golden Jade Race, he had never been so humiliated before. Thus, he harbored a deep loathing for Zhao Feng.


    Once Ancient God Light Jade''s group reached the inner palace of the Golden Jade Race, Ancient God Light Jade gave Zhao Feng a personal palace to stay in. After that, the upper echelon members of the Golden Jade Race departed.


    "Patriarch, what do we do?" True God Tianhua immediately stepped forward, a hateful look on his face.


    "Hmph, immediately inform the Origin Returning Sect!" Ancient God Light Jade snorted.


    Zhao Feng had humiliated the Golden Jade Race so badly that only his death would be enough to vent his resentment. The Origin Returning Sect was the strongest peak four-star faction in the region.


    The Quasi-God Gui Yi who had participated in the Gulong Martial Gathering originated from this sect.


    Quasi-God Gui Yi was the strongest Quasi-God prodigy of the Origin Returning Sect, but he ended up being imprisoned by Zhao Feng. Back then, the Origin Returning Sect was even more frenzied than Violet Night Hall, mobilizing almost all its members to search for Zhao Feng.


    "Heh, this brat is arrogant and ignorant. Let him just wait for death!" True God Tianhua gave a sinister smile.


    Although they couldn''t capture Zhao Feng, by telling this news to the Origin Returning Sect, they could gain significant benefit.


    After taking up residence in the Golden Jade Race, Zhao Feng couldn''t be bothered to worry about anything and secluded himself in the Spacetime Robe. He planned to try and break through to the God Lord level soon, so he was doing his utmost to raise his chances of success.


    "Now that I''ve comprehended a Space Law, I can cultivate the final level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique!" The contents of the last level of this art emerged in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    This sixth level was originally meant for God Lords. He was now delving into it somewhat to firm up his Divine Power and increase his chances at becoming a God Lord.


    But in the end, the sixth level''s contents were meant for God Lords. Zhao Feng only just began to cultivate and already felt it difficult.


    One day, Zhao Feng left his residence. With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he was able to understand everything that was going on in the Golden Jade Race.


    "Mm? The person speaking with Ancient God Light Jade is from Yellow Dragon Pavilion?" Zhao Feng''s gaze froze.


    He also felt that this person from Yellow Dragon Pavilion was rather familiar. It seemed to be none other than the True God Zhongtu who had pursued him and Han Ning''er. Zhao Feng was only a Quasi-God at the time, so he could only run away from the Rank Five True God Zhongtu.


    "The people of Yellow Dragon Pavilion have come to the Golden Jade Race again?" Zhao Feng was confused. He concealed his body and went to the secret hall where the conversation was taking place.


    "Ancient God Light Jade, if the Golden Jade Race is willing to assist Yellow Dragon Pavilion, I can increase the benefits offered last time by another ten percent!" True God Zhongtu spoke with an extremely serious tone.


    "Ha, forget it. The Golden Jade Race has no desire to participate in this matter." Ancient God Light Jade thought it over some but still decided to refuse.


    With Zhao Feng here, the Golden Jade Race could not send off too many of its forces. Once the people from the Origin Returning Sect arrived and seized Zhao Feng, the Golden Jade Race would receive much more than what Yellow Dragon Pavilion could offer.


    "Ancient God Light Jade, there''s no need to be so absolute.... Twenty percent, an additional twenty percent! This is Yellow Dragon Pavilion''s limit!" True God Zhongtu creased his brow as he spoke.


    "This is a special time, or else I would have agreed to your request to lend you soldiers on your second visit." Ancient God Light Jade tactfully declined.


    "Lending soldiers?" Zhao Feng was stunned.


    If they were borrowing soldiers, then Yellow Dragon Pavilion was probably in the middle of a war. But Yellow Dragon Pavilion had recently seized Spirit Grass Gate, so it should have been even stronger. Ordinary factions would not rashly provoke a faction like this. Then what was it that could threaten or outmatch Yellow Dragon Pavilion so that it would seek help from other factions?


    "Could it be that Han Ning''er has returned to take revenge?" Zhao Feng thought of this possibility.


    Han Ning''er was an Eye of Life descendant and a disciple of the Life Sacred Land. Her status was probably not simple. There was a high chance that she had returned to the Gulong Zone with some people to revive Spirit Grass Gate.


    "Who''s there?" The concerned True God Zhongtu suddenly noticed another person nearby and immediately jumped up from his seat.


    "Zhao Feng?" Ancient God Light Jade was also astonished. How had Zhao Feng so inexplicably appeared here?


    "It''s you?" True God Zhongtu suddenly remembered something, and his expression became both shocked and furious.


    If not for Zhao Feng, he would have long ago killed Han Ning''er.


    But True God Zhongtu did not act recklessly. After all, Zhao Feng was able to get here without him noticing. This meant that Zhao Feng''s strength was far above what he could deal with. True God Zhongtu seized this first moment to send a message.


    "Why does Yellow Dragon Pavilion want to borrow soldiers?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    "Yellow Dragon Pavilion''s strength is swelling, and we''re preparing to attack another four-and-a-half-star faction!"


    True God Zhongtu hesitated for a moment before replying, as if he was only doing so because he feared Zhao Feng.


    But Zhao Feng realized that Ancient God Light Jade appeared to somewhat grimace at True God Zhongtu''s words. It was obvious that he was not telling the truth.


    "Hmph, since you''re not willing to tell the truth, I''ll find the answer on my own!" Zhao Feng''s expression chilled.


    He had barely finished speaking when a powerful Soul Intent surged forward.


    "What are you doing?" True God Zhongtu paled as he prepared to fight back.


    But a moment later, he discovered that he couldn''t move, and his soul seemed to be restrained by boundless lightning, its connection with his divine body severed so that he could not do anything.


    The immense Soul Intent surged into his soul and found out everything.


    "As expected." Zhao Feng''s gaze chilled.


    Yellow Dragon Pavilion was borrowing soldiers to attack Spirit Grass Gate.


    Boom!


    With a thought from Zhao Feng, True God Zhongtu''s soul and divine body were obliterated into fine powder.


    Ancient God Light Jade stood on the side in shock. In front of Zhao Feng, True God Zhongtu didn''t even have the ability to self-detonate.


    "Yellow Dragon Pavilion...!" Zhao Feng muttered, and then he vanished.


    Not long after Zhao Feng left, an oppressive energy descended on the Golden Jade Race.


    Whoosh!


    Ancient God Light Jade immediately emerged to greet those three people floating in the distant sky.


    "Ancient God Light Jade, where is he?" A violet-robed elder was leading this group of three, his body surrounded in multicolored radiance.


    "Ancient God Qian Yuan, Zhao Feng just left for Yellow Dragon Pavilion. With your strength, he probably won''t even be able to reach Yellow Dragon Pavilion before falling into your hands!" Ancient God Light Jade smiled, but he was actually stunned beyond compare.


    Ancient God Qian Yuan was none other than the Sect Master of the Origin Returning Sect, a half-step God Lord. The two people beside him were peak Rank Nine Ancient Gods.


    He had never imagined that the Origin Returning Sect Master would personally take part, and that he would even bring two peak Rank Nine elders with him.


    "Go!" Ancient God Qian Yuan called out, leaving with his two men.


    Only a few top-class factions and the five-star factions knew that Violet Night Hall''s Ancient God Night Dragon had been slain in the Ziling Zone. The Origin Returning Sect knew this, which was why it had sent its sect master to prevent any accidents.


    At the same time, near an extremely dangerous forbidden ground of the Gulong Zone, the Wailing Ghost Ravine: Beneath Wailing Ghost Ravine was an immense faction that only a select few knew about.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    In a palace that was completely deserted, several spatial ripples suddenly appeared.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Several people cloaked in black appeared in the palace, each one exuding the powerful aura of an Ancient God.


    "Lord Tyrant Dragon, Zhao Feng has appeared in the Golden Jade Race!" a peak Rank Nine Ancient God suddenly said. These words had everyone else stunned.


    Whoosh!


    A calamitous energy that could destroy all suddenly weighed down. All was incredibly still as everyone present looked up to that man who was covered entirely in pitch-black scales.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve finally appeared!" the black-scaled man spoke in a raspy voice.


    "I will personally handle this person. The rest of you, withdraw!" the black-scaled man called out.


    Yes!"


    A moment later, all the figures in the palace vanished.


    "Ninth God Eye, let me offer you up to our lord, kekeke!"

 1459 Solving Everything in One Go

    Chapter 1459 - Solving Everything in One Go


    Half a year ago, in the western mountains of the Gulong Zone, a certain event created a large stir: Spirit Grass Gate, which had been conquered by Yellow Dragon Pavilion several decades ago, suddenly staged a comeback and reestablished itself.


    The first thing Yellow Dragon Pavilion did upon discovering this was to send over many of its members, setting off a war between two four-and-a-half-star factions. In the end, Spirit Grass Gate had fended off the first wave from Yellow Dragon Pavilion. Afterward, former members of Spirit Grass Gate gradually began to return, and quite a few factions even betrayed Yellow Dragon Pavilion and submitted to Spirit Grass Gate.


    The underground conference hall of Spirit Grass Gate:


    "Han Ning''er, this old man was truly not mistaken. The reestablishment of Spirit Grass Gate is entirely due to your efforts!" A green-haired elder seated above gave a beaming smile.


    This person was none other than the Gate Master of Spirit Grass Gate. After Spirit Grass Gate''s defeat, he had led a portion of the members into hiding so that they could plan out the faction''s revival.


    The other upper echelon members of Spirit Grass Gate smiled and nodded, their eyes focused on a girl dressed in green.


    This girl seemed to be particularly dazzling in the gloomy hall, and she exuded a pure vigor and vitality. She seemed like a spirit in the forest, nimble and beautiful.


    "Gate Master, this is only what I should have done. However, Senior Brother Xiahou deserves most of the thanks!" Han Ning''er smiled as she looked at the heroic and straight-backed figure of Xiahou Wu next to her, dressed in simple green clothes.


    Back then, when Zhao Feng had just become a True God at the Spiritual Race, he exchanged blows with Xiahou Wu of the Life Sacred Land. Later on, when Zhao Feng escorted Han Ning''er to the Life Sacred Land, Xiahou Wu was tasked with taking care of the two of them.


    After this long period of time, Xiahou Wu had smoothly become a Rank Seven Ancient God.


    "Our utmost gratitude for the Life Sacred Land for assisting Spirit Grass Gate!" Spirit Grass Gate Master gratefully turned to the man next to Han Ning''er.


    It was truly already a blessing for an Eye of Life descendant to have appeared within their sect. To form a relationship with a legendary Sacred Land was not something he dared to imagine in his wildest dreams.


    "A minor task." Xiahou Wu waved his hand, indicating that they shouldn''t take this matter too seriously.


    In truth, he was helping because he wanted to, not because of the Life Sacred Land. Otherwise, Yellow Dragon Pavilion would have long ago surrendered rather than dare to continue the fight against Spirit Grass Gate.


    "Young Master Xiahou is too humble. If not for you, we would have never been able to fight back against Yellow Dragon Pavilion!" Spirit Grass Gate Master smiled.


    In the last war, Spirit Grass Gate Master was heavily wounded and had yet to completely recover.


    Meanwhile, Xiahou Wu was a Rank Seven Ancient God, an Eye of Life descendant, and a powerful disciple of the Life Sacred Land. This was precisely why Spirit Grass Gate was able to fight against Yellow Dragon Pavilion.


    At this moment, Xiahou Wu was the hope of the entire Spirit Grass Gate and was admired by countless disciples. The upper echelon members of Spirit Grass Gate also hoped that Xiahou Wu and Han Ning''er would get together. This would further increase the safety of Spirit Grass Gate.


    At this moment, a ripple appeared in the domain around the conference hall.


    Whoosh!


    A green figure charged in.


    "Gate Master, Yellow Dragon Pavilion is attacking again!" the scout got down on one knee and respectfully said.


    "Prepare for battle!" Spirit Grass Gate Master grimaced and immediately called out.


    A moment later, the conference hall was empty. All the members of Spirit Grass Gate began to assemble.


    A little while later, two mighty dragonships appeared on the horizon. At the top of one of these boats was a large and dignified man with dark yellow skin - the Yellow Dragon Pavilion Master.


    "Young Master Xiahou, this matter is between Yellow Dragon Pavilion and Spirit Grass Gate. I hope that you will not interfere!" The Yellow Dragon Pavilion Master turned to Xiahou Wu.


    Xiahou Wu was a member of the Life Sacred Land, and if not for the fact that the Life Sacred Land was very far from this place, the Yellow Dragon Pavilion would have not dared to continue the war. In addition, he had also noticed that Xiahou Wu had come to help Spirit Grass Gate purely out of personal desire, not because the Life Sacred Land had ordered him to.


    "I have already made a promise to Junior Sister Ning''er. I will intervene in this matter until the very end!" Xiahou Wu firmly said.


    The upper echelon members of Spirit Grass Gate were delighted to see this. In their view, Xiahou Wu was definitely interested in Han Ning''er.


    "Yellow Dragon Pavilion, Spirit Grass Gate will avenge the wrongs of the past!" Spirit Grass Gate Master coldly stared at the Yellow Dragon Pavilion Master.


    Although he was heavily injured, Xiahou Wu was currently treating his wounds, and he would be fully recovered soon. Spirit Grass Gate would rise again!


    "Haha, you won''t get the chance!" The Yellow Dragon Pavilion Master immediately began to laugh.


    The upper echelon members of Spirit Grass Gate found this rather suspicious. Logically speaking, Yellow Dragon Pavilion didn''t have the strength to do anything to Spirit Grass Gate. However, the Yellow Dragon Pavilion Master seemed far too confident. Had Yellow Dragon Pavilion managed to get a powerful ally?


    Terrifying Ghost Dao energy suddenly surged out from the distant horizon.


    Boooooom!


    Countless cold and pitch-black figures emerged.


    "The Nether Ghost Race!" Spirit Grass Gate Master''s face chilled.


    The Nether Ghost Race was one of the stronger four-and-a-half-star factions. It had six Ancient Gods, far more than the typical four-and-a-half-star factions. And at this moment, they had sent three Rank Seven Ancient Gods.


    The upper echelon members of Spirit Grass Gate and Xiahou Wu also turned serious at this sight. Although Xiahou Wu was powerful, he could only deal with two Rank Seven Ancient Gods at most. But now, with three more Ancient Gods, the enemy had a force completely capable of crushing Spirit Grass Gate.


    Young Master Xiahou, I advise you to leave. Although we will not kill you, in battle, we cannot worry over so much and will inevitably wound you!" The Yellow Dragon Pavilion Master once more turned to Xiahou Wu.


    At this moment, the entire battlefield will silent. The members of Spirit Grass Gate felt a deep despair. Regardless of whether Xiahou Wu helped or left, they were still no match for Yellow Dragon Pavilion.


    Xiahou Wu also had an extremely nasty grimace. It seemed impossible for him to fulfill his promise to Han Ning''er.


    But at this moment, a calm voice came from the distance; "Han Ning''er, you really did come back, and there''s Brother Xiahou too! I didn''t expect you to come as well."


    The extremely relaxed tone of this voice shattered the grim atmosphere.


    Yellow Dragon Pavilion and the Nether Ghost Race turned to look.


    The eyes of Spirit Grass Gate members flashed. This newcomer was apparently a friend to Han Ning''er and Xiahou Wu. But when everyone saw that it was Zhao Feng, they were all stunned beyond belief.


    "Zhao Feng!?" the Yellow Dragon Pavilion Master and many of the upper echelon members called out in shock.


    The members of Spirit Grass Gate were also astonished. Wasn''t this the Zhao Feng who had caused a stir throughout the entire Gulong Zone several decades ago? Zhao Feng was wanted by many factions, yet he still dared to return?


    "Zhao Feng, what have you done to my grandson, Quasi-God Mo Gui?" An Ancient God of the Nether Ghost Race stepped forward, his eyes seething with cold killing intent.


    Quasi-God Mo Gui was a Quasi-God that Zhao Feng had come into conflict with before the Gulong Martial Gathering, and he ended up as one of the prisoners in the Five Elements Palace.


    "Brother Zhao, how come you''re here?" Xiahou Wu was similarly astonished.


    The Life Sacred Land had obtained a somewhat clearer picture of what happened in the Chixing Zone. It was rumored that Zhao Feng was the holder of the Ninth God Eye. After the God Eye''s awakening, he had defeated Ancient Soul Hall and then vanished.


    Han Ning''er was extremely excited. After all, she had not seen Zhao Feng since their last parting. Ever since she had heard that Zhao Feng was the holder of the Ninth God Eye, she had been concerned that Zhao Feng might have encountered some sort of mishap.


    Zhao Feng''s appearance also made the two of them see hope. In the Ziling Zone and Chixing Zone, Ziling Zone had defeated God Lords!


    On the other side, Yellow Dragon Pavilion and the Nether Ghost Race were extremely dejected. Zhao Feng''s strength back then was already incredible, enough for him to throw the entire Gulong Zone into upheaval. Now, even Xiahou Wu was calling Zhao Feng "Brother Zhao." From this one, one could see that Zhao Feng had definitely gotten much stronger.


    "Let''s not act rashly. Send the news of Zhao Feng''s return to the faction above us, and someone will naturally come to deal with him!" The Yellow Dragon Pavilion Master was somewhat more composed and began to communicate with the Nether Ghost Race members.


    "Brother Zhao, please act and resolve this problem!" Xiahou Wu smiled.


    Spirit Grass Gate members were instantly dazed. The Life Sacred Land''s Xiahou Wu was actually requesting Zhao Feng to act? And from Xiahou Wu''s appearance, he was not at all worried. It was as if he trusted that Zhao Feng could handle everything.


    Han Ning''er was also all smiles. It was as if she had forgotten that they were in the middle of a war.


    "Wait a moment," Zhao Feng calmly said.


    Wait? Xiahou Wu was startled. Why did they have to wait?


    Yellow Dragon Pavilion and the Nether Ghost Race watched this conversation with extremely ugly expressions.


    Yellow Dragon Pavilion Master, let''s strike together and eliminate Zhao Feng. I don''t believe that he can beat all of us!" a Nether Ghost Race Ancient God said, his expression savage and frightening.


    But at this moment, a powerful ripple of energy came from the horizon.


    Swish!


    Three people appeared in the center of the two forces, their impressive auras of energy shocking all.


    "Origin Returning Sect, Ancient God Qian Yuan!" the Ancient Gods of the Nether Ghost Race and Yellow Dragon Pavilion blurted out in surprise.


    They had sent news of Zhao Feng''s return to several factions, including the Origin Returning Sect, but there was no reason for the Origin Returning Sect to arrive so quickly. And the ones it had sent were the half-step God Lord Origin Returning Sect Master and two peak Rank Nine elders. Only now did they realize that Zhao Feng was much stronger than they had imagined.


    "Zhao Feng, hand over Quasi-God Gui Yi and submit yourself to be captured!" Ancient God Qian Yuan cared not for the four-and-a-half-star factions. His eyes were fixed on Zhao Feng as he calmly spoke.


    "You finally arrived. Let''s deal with everyone together!" Zhao Feng smiled as he looked at the trio from the Origin Returning Sect.


    Xiahou Wu and Han Ning''er understood why Zhao Feng had said to wait. It was just one half-step God Lord. They weren''t worried in the slightest.


    But Spirit Grass Gate members were all trembling in fear as they involuntarily backed away. It was obvious that the Origin Returning Sect had come to make trouble for Zhao Feng.


    "Oh? How do you plan to deal with us?" The Origin Returning Sect Master was startled. From Zhao Feng''s tone, it was apparent that they were expected.


    "I naturally hope to peacefully resolve the matter," Zhao Feng calmly said.


    He had imprisoned the geniuses of many factions, but those people all wanted to kill him and seize his treasures, so Zhao Feng did not believe he had done anything wrong. Moreover, these people had all been taken to the Ancient Dream Realm. He naturally couldn''t let them go for fear that they would divulge his secrets.


    "Ridiculous! How could you possibly compare to Quasi-God Gui Yi!? If you''re not willing to compromise, then don''t blame the Origin Returning Sect!" Ancient God Qian Yuan appeared slightly angry.


    In truth, peaceful resolution was possible, but they stood to gain too much from Zhao Feng. The Spacetime Robe, the Staff of Death Curse, and also the Five Elements Intent palace; by killing Zhao Feng, one could obtain all these things.


    "Heh, serves that brat right!" The Nether Ghost Race members wickedly chuckled.


    The Yellow Dragon Pavilion forces were also very happy. With the Origin Returning Sect Master personally taking action, Zhao Feng was doomed. Perhaps Spirit Grass Gate would even be dragged down with him.

 1460 Becoming a God Lord I

    Chapter 1460 - Becoming a God Lord (I)


    The Origin Returning Sect didn''t even try to consider Zhao Feng''s offer of peace before refusing.


    Xiahou Wu and Han Ning''er couldn''t help but sigh and start worrying for the Origin Returning Sect. In the Ziling Zone, Zhao Feng had defeated a God Lord, and it was rumored that he had also killed God Lords in the Chixing Zone.


    "Since you''ve refused my peace offer, I won''t be polite!" Zhao Feng focused his eyes.


    He had no desire to cause trouble, but there were always people who thought they were something else and were overcome by greed.


    These words immediately struck the trio from the Origin Returning Sect dumb.


    "Haha, junior, I don''t know whether to call you brave or stupid." Ancient God Qian Yuan and the two elders began to laugh.


    Sixty-some years ago, when Zhao Feng had fled the Gulong Zone, he was only a Quasi-God. Even if he had many treasures and had made large bounds in cultivation, he could only be a Rank Seven Ancient God at most.


    "Heh, just as arrogant as ever!" The upper echelon members of the Nether Ghost Race smiled even more sinisterly.


    The members of Spirit Grass Gate looked at Zhao Feng like he was a monster. Just what made him so bold as to dare to say such things to the Origin Returning Sect Master?


    "Since you''re not willing to talk peace, I can only let my strength do the talking!" Zhao Feng''s face turned stern as he stomped forward.


    The Origin Returning Sect trio had just calmed down, but they found this sight so ridiculous that they were on the verge of once more exploding with jeers.


    But as Zhao Feng stomped forward, the world shook.


    Kabooom!


    The sky darkened and the clouds surged. All the Yuan Qi in the area began to gather around Zhao Feng. An immense worldly energy began to descend.


    This powerful pressure weighed down on the two peak Rank Nine Elders and startled the Origin Returning Sect Master.


    Before they could say anything: Thump!


    Zhao Feng once more stomped forward, and the worldly pressure multiplied.


    At this moment, the bodies of the two peak Rank Nine Elders sank down as they grimaced. The Origin Returning Sect Master was frozen, his eyes wide in shock.


    The army of the Nether Ghost Race and Yellow Dragon Pavilion felt like countless mountains were pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to breathe.


    Plush!


    A few moments later, several thousand people vomited blood and rushed backward.


    "Retreat!" The Ancient Gods of the Nether Ghost Race and Yellow Dragon Pavilion called out.


    This sudden shift left their minds blank, but in the face of this imminent danger, their instincts told them to flee.


    "Speak. How do you want to resolve this?" Zhao Feng suddenly said, and then he took another step forward.


    Although he was only a half-step God Lord, he had comprehended a Law. Moreover, his Chaos Origin Divine Power could compare even to outstanding First Heaven God Lords.


    Rumble!


    The energy of the world surged forward like a primordial beast.


    Plush! Plush!


    The two peak Rank Nines of the Origin Returning Sect vomited blood and fell back. The Origin Returning Sect Master couldn''t help but take half a step back, his entire body trembling.


    Behind Zhao Feng, all the members of Spirit Grass Gate watched this in a daze. With three steps, he had forced back two top-class Ancient Gods and a half-step God Lord of the Origin Returning Sect. In the eyes of Spirit Grass Gate, half-step God Lords were already peerless experts that could kill them as easily as stomping on ants, but in the face of Zhao Feng''s invisible pressure, this expert had retreated!


    This... Senior Zhao, we..." The Origin Returning Sect Master was momentarily speechless.


    In his worst-case scenarios, he presumed that Zhao Feng would have some trump card that would allow him to temporarily match a half-step God Lord, but he had never imagined this situation. He didn''t even have the courage to attack now.


    "Didn''t you want to capture me?" Zhao Feng made his fourth step, mobilizing his many Intents.


    Brrrooom!


    Boundless energy was gathered and roared forth with mountain-toppling momentum.


    The Origin Returning Sect Master trembled, his face turning ghastly pale, a trickle of blood coming out from his mouth. It was like he had been struck by a heavy blow.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two peak Rank Nines were thrown backward, leaving bloody trails in the air.


    "Senior Zhao, we were the ones who were wrong in this matter! The Origin Returning Sect is willing to pay any compensation!" The Origin Returning Sect Master finally knew what to say and did so in a soft voice.


    He did not dare wonder if Zhao Feng would really kill them. As long as they could survive, they might be able to recover what they had lost, but death would be the end of everything.


    "Get out of here! Don''t let me see your face in the future!" Zhao Feng growled.


    A mere peak four-star faction had nothing worthy of his attention. His main goal this time was to use the Origin Returning Sect to intimidate the other factions.


    Yes, yes!" The trio from the Origin Returning Sect quickly scrambled to their feet and fled.


    Zhao Feng was far too powerful. Even without actually attacking, he had made them vomit blood. If he had really struck, he could have easily annihilated them.


    As for the Yellow Dragon Pavilion and Nether Ghost Race armies, they had scattered long ago.


    In the rear, the members of Spirit Grass Gate were dumbstruck. Everyone had imagined that a bloody battle was going to take place, and the arrival of the Nether Ghost Race had made them despair.


    But in the end, Spirit Grass Gate won without fighting. The enemy army, including the experts of the Origin Returning Sect, had been frightened into a complete rout.


    "So strong!" Han Ning''er murmured in shock.


    Although she was already shocked by Zhao Feng''s power when they traveled together, the shock Zhao Feng could give her was simply endless.


    "S-Senior Zhao, many thanks for saving Spirit Grass Gate!" The Spirit Grass Gate Master immediately stepped forward to voice his gratitude. Zhao Feng had managed to save Spirit Grass Gate from a major crisis in passing.


    "When are you returning to the Ziling Zone?" Zhao Feng turned to Xiahou Wu and Han Ning''er.


    "We still plan to stay a while," Xiahou Wu immediately said.


    Firstly, Spirit Grass Gate had only recently been reestablished. Han Ning''er would not leave so quickly. Secondly, it would take some time to completely heal Spirit Grass Gate Master''s injuries.


    Since that was the case, Zhao Feng also decided to remain at Spirit Grass Gate for a spell. Although he had intimidated away the Origin Returning Sect, there were probably still some factions who were dissatisfied with him and would come to seek him out.


    He could resolve these matters first and then leave. This would prevent those people from going to the Blazing Fire Golden Sheep Race and Spirit Grass Gate after he left.


    Zhao Feng had only imprisoned a few True Gods from these factions. This was not anything to die over. These people were simply too greedy and wanted Zhao Feng''s treasures.


    Zhao Feng naturally could not waste the time he spent in Spirit Grass Gate. Entering the Spacetime Robe, he entered a period of secluded cultivation to build up power.


    One day on the outside was one hundred days in the Spacetime Robe.


    Five hundred days soon passed in the Spacetime Robe, and in that period, no factions had come to find him.


    Zhao Feng sensed that he had reached a bottleneck in various aspects and would find it difficult to progress any further.


    "You guys, go out and stand guard for me!" Zhao Feng called the Black Destruction Dragon, Zhao Wang, and Zhao Kong, moving them out of the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    The Black Destruction Dragon had just become a half-step God Lord. This together with its bloodline allowed it to challenge typical God Lords. His two clones had both reached peak Rank Nine. With the three of them standing guard, Zhao Feng could be more at ease.


    Zhao Feng entered the Ancient Dream Realm and began to focus his mind as he prepared to break through to become a God Lord!


    The hardest part about Becoming a God Lord was compressing the nine Divine Stages into a single God Altar. When creating the God Altar, the Divine Stages would disappear, one by one. If one failed, these Divine Stages would not return. They would have truly disappeared. For this reason, many experts who tried to become a God Lord would suffer a plunge in cultivation upon failure.


    If one failed at the final moment, using up all nine Divine Stages, one would fall all the way down to below the Heavenly Divine Realm. This was a destructive blow for a half-step God Lord, a fate even more painful than death.


    But Zhao Feng was rather confident. Firstly, he had a Law, and it was the extremely tolerant Space Law. Secondly, his Soul Intent had already reached the God Lord level, and together with the God''s Spiritual Eye, he would have incredible control over the process, reducing the possibility of any mishap.


    In addition, the Ancestral Artifact fragment contained a Time Law. It could slow down time, further reducing the chance of any mistakes. He also had the Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng, which increased his chances of becoming a God Lord.


    One day, a disciple of Spirit Grass Gate arrived at Zhao Feng''s residence.


    Swish!


    A black-scaled man suddenly appeared in front of him, giving him a scare.


    "My master is in seclusion. Is there a problem?" the Black Destruction Dragon asked.


    "Traces of Ancient Gods have been discovered near Spirit Grass Gate. They might be targeting Senior Zhao...." The Spirit Grass Gate disciple immediately left after making this report.


    "Only a measly Ancient God?" The Black Destruction Dragon grunted in indifference.


    To the north of Spirit Grass Gate:


    Swish! Swish!


    Several people heading toward Spirit Grass Gate suddenly stopped.


    "Come out!" An elder with long arms turned his eyes toward the distance.


    Bzzz!


    Several figures slowly emerged. Their leader was a woman with glossy skin that was covered in bewitching white tattoos.


    "So, it was the Sky Water Yao Race." The long-armed elder''s eyes flashed.


    This bewitching woman was none other than the Sky Water Yao Race Matriarch.


    "Brother Gong Shu should be going to kill Zhao Feng, right?" The woman gave a bewitching smile.


    "I presume that the Sky Water Yao Race has the same goal, but why are you hiding here? Are you afraid of Zhao Feng?" The long-armed elder was somewhat confused.


    He had started to come over as soon as he heard of Zhao Feng''s return. He originally believed that Zhao Feng had already been captured and that he might arrive in time to get a share of the spoils. After all, Zhao Feng had also imprisoned members of his faction.


    But the actual situation was very different from what he imagined.


    "It seems that Brother Gong Shu doesn''t know. The Origin Returning Sect noticed Zhao Feng and went after him long before us, but in the end, the members of the Origin Returning Sect went back empty-handed!" the bewitching woman slowly said.


    "How could that be?" The long-armed elder was shocked.


    The Origin Returning Sect was stronger than his faction, but it had gone back empty-handed? Did Zhao Feng have some powerful protector?


    "If that''s the case, why are you still here?" The elder glanced at the woman.


    The Sky Water Yao Race was extremely crafty, and he did not entirely believe this woman''s words.


    "A single faction might not be able to do anything to Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng offended no less than twenty factions back then. Even if that kid has a First Heaven God Lord protecting him, they can''t possibly fight against so many factions of the Gulong Zone!" The woman charmingly smiled.


    In the Wild Ancient Secret Dimension and the Gulong Martial Gathering, the Sky Water Yao Race had suffered a loss at Zhao Feng''s hands. And for Zhao Feng to be able to oppose a half-step God Lord in such a short time, he undoubtedly had other heaven-defying treasures and cultivation resources with him beside the Five Elements Palace and the Spacetime Robe. She had already spent tens of millions of years halted at the half-step God Lord stage, so she had a burning desire for treasures that could help her become a God Lord.


    In addition, she was confident that Violet Night Hall would also be tempted.


    The long-armed elder was confident that the Sky Water Yao Race would not remain if there was nothing to be gained, so he decided to stop as well.


    Gradually, the long-armed elder came to realize something; whenever a new faction would come, the Sky Water Yao Race would leak their energy so that this faction would notice them and be recruited.


    "As expected, the Sky Water Yao Race is a crafty race!" The long-armed elder made a mental note.


    Less than half a month later, twelve four-and-a-half-star factions had been gathered.

 1461 Becoming a God Lord II

    Chapter 1461 - Becoming a God Lord (II)


    Within the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng had entered seclusion within the territory of the Blood Flame Qilin Race. All the members of the Blood Flame Qilin Race were on guard to protect Zhao Feng.


    "His Excellency truly lives up to his status as the Ninth God Eye! He''s already Becoming a God Lord!" The Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch had a look of respect on his face.


    When he was at peak Rank Nine, Zhao Feng was a peak Rank Seven Ancient God. Now that he was a God Lord, Zhao Feng was also beginning his breakthrough into the God Lord level.


    Zhao Feng was secluded within the Spacetime Robe.


    At this moment, the bottom-most Divine Stage of his nine Divine Stages was slowly turning from square to circular. After a long while, Zhao Feng had formed the nascent God Altar.


    But this was only the beginning. What came next was the crucial step: compressing the power of all the other Divine Stages into the nascent God Altar, stimulating it into evolving into the real God Altar.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The second Divine Stage melted into liquid and fused with the nascent God Altar down below, causing it to become somewhat more solid.


    Becoming a God Lord was a slow and arduous process, and one could not be the slightest bit impatient.


    As for the Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng, which could improve the chances of becoming a God Lord, Zhao Feng did not immediately take it. He planned to only use it when instability appeared in his God Altar. That would maximize the effects of this resource.


    Although Zhao Feng was in seclusion, through his clones, he had some understanding of the situation around Spirit Grass Gate.


    At this moment, many of the upper echelon members of Spirit Grass Gate and Xiahou Wu were very worried. More and more experts were concealing themselves within a radius of several hundred thousand li around Spirit Grass Gate, and there were even half-step God Lords among them.


    The strongest cultivators of Spirit Grass Gate were only Rank Seven Ancient Gods, and they were deeply unsettled by this development.


    "Just how should we deal with his?!" The Spirit Grass Gate Master furrowed his brow.


    Although he knew that there were many factions hidden around Spirit Grass Gate, there was nothing Spirit Grass Gate could do about it. Once they offended these factions, Spirit Grass Gate might simply be exterminated.


    But at a time like this, Zhao Feng refused to leave seclusion. Xiahou Wu and Han Ning''er had also tried to call on Zhao Feng, but the Black Destruction Dragon stopped them.


    "Alas, fate is so cruel!"


    "The old heavens wish for the death of my Spirit Grass Gate!"


    The upper echelon members of Spirit Grass Gate couldn''t help but lament.


    There were even many Spirit Grass Gate members who resented Zhao Feng. Although Zhao Feng had resolved their crisis, he brought an even greater danger to Spirit Grass Gate.


    The vast majority of the factions hidden around the area were far stronger than Spirit Grass Gate. Zhao Feng was the one who brought all this trouble, but at this crucial moment, Zhao Feng was not coming out.


    "Report! They''re coming over!" At this moment, a panicked voice resounded through the hall.


    The upper echelon members of Spirit Grass Gate, Han Ning''er, and Xiahou Wu all grimaced.


    "I''ll go and call Brother Zhao. The rest of you, delay them for as long as you can!" Xiahou Wu said these words before hastily running off.


    Swish! Swish!


    Many people flew out of Spirit Grass Gate.


    Fwooosh!


    The winds gusted and clouds surged, and all kinds of phenomena could be seen.


    This... twelve major factions!?" The Spirit Grass Gate Master felt his legs buckle as he scanned the area.


    There were six peak four-star factions among these twelve factions. Moreover, Spirit Grass Gate Master observed that, of these six peak four-star factions, the leaders of five of them were present. This meant that there were already five half-step God Lords present!


    Whoosh!


    A man with a pitch-black body that glimmered with golden light stepped forward. This was the master of Golden Dragon Valley, and Golden Dragon Valley was one of the strongest peak four-star factions of the Gulong Zone.


    "Zhao Feng, come out for a talk!" the Golden Dragon Valley Master said in a deep and resounding voice.


    Kaboom!


    This voice brought with it a gale that swept through Spirit Grass Gate and made all its members stagger. They even had a misperception that the Golden Dragon Valley Master was the entire world while they were just blades of grass.


    "Senior, Zhao Feng is-" Spirit Grass Gate Master respectfully began to explain.


    "Was I asking you?" The Golden Dragon Valley Master interrupted him with a cold and emotionless voice.


    On the surface, these many factions had come to "talk" with Zhao Feng, but this was limited only to Zhao Feng. The Spirit Grass Gate Master was so weak that he simply wasn''t even worth their attention.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, if one was not strong enough, they would not even have the right to speak.


    "Heheh, Spirit Grass Gate will suffer disaster this time!" In the crowd, the Yellow Dragon Pavilion Master smugly smiled. Although Zhao Feng had scared away Yellow Dragon Pavilion last time, with so many factions coming this time, would Zhao Feng be able to continue acting so arrogantly?


    Swish!


    A green figure shot over to the delegation from Spirit Grass Gate.


    "Seniors, Zhao Feng is currently busy," Xiahou Wu calmly said.


    Upon hearing these words, the members of Spirit Grass Gate knew that Zhao Feng was still not willing to appear.


    "Good Sir must be a disciple of the Life Sacred Land. To travel such a great distance to the Gulong Zone, why not stay at the Sky Water Yao Race? We will treat you well!" The bewitching woman from the Sky Water Yao Race immediately stepped forward and issued an invitation.


    Xiahou Wu instantly grimaced. This was the matriarch of the Sky Water Yao Race. Although it was an invitation on the surface, it was actually a demand for him to keep his distance from this matter. If Xiahou Wu refused, he would be offending a half-step God Lord and giving the Sky Water Yao Race an excuse to act.


    "How cunning!" Xiahou Wu couldn''t help but sigh.


    As Xiahou Wu was struggling over what to do, a handsome man in silver clothes blinked next to Xiahou Wu. This person was none other than Zhao Feng''s clone, Zhao Kong.


    "For what reason are you seeking out my master? He is not in a state to see guests right now, so if you have something to say, you can just tell me," Zhao Kong calmly said. At the same time, his eyes began to shine with a silver luster and seemed to be infinite voids.


    "Peak Rank Nine, Eyes of Spacetime!" The half-step God Lords present all grimaced.


    If Zhao Kong hadn''t called Zhao Feng his master, many people would have suspected him to be an expert from some major faction.


    Many of the peak four-star factions understood that Zhao Feng was a member of the Spiritual Race, but the Spiritual Race was too far away. This place was part of the Gulong Zone; if they attacked Zhao Feng, the Spiritual Race could do nothing about it.


    But if a member of another major faction appeared, then that, along with the presence of the Life Sacred Land''s Xiahou Wu, would truly make them have second thoughts.


    "Everyone present is a person of some stature and reputation. We''ve personally come to pay a visit, but your master says that he cannot see guests? Is he looking down on us?" The long-armed elder stepped forward and coldly huffed.


    "When he was last in the Gulong Zone, Zhao Feng imprisoned a member of my Golden Dragon Valley. Now that this god has personally come, he actually does not want to see me?" The Golden Dragon Valley Master''s face chilled.


    "Have Zhao Feng come out!"


    "Have him hand over the people of Celestial Star Pavilion!"


    The experts of many other factions voiced their agreement.


    On the surface, these factions had come to negotiate, but what they really wanted was to kill and rob. After all, Zhao Feng was a member of the five-star Spiritual Race. They could not openly attack him, so they could only use the pretense of negotiation to seek out any opportunity to strike.


    "Cease with the chatter and have him come out!"


    "If he doesn''t come out, we''ll go and find him!"


    The surrounding major factions converged on Spirit Grass Gate, seemingly prepared to search the entire premises. "Scram!" the Golden Dragon Valley Master roared, unleashing an invisible pressure that went to impede Zhao Kong. Swish! Swish!


    Everyone began to encroach on Zhao Feng''s residence.


    At this moment, a furious roar resounded; "Impudent!"


    The Black Destruction Dragon and Zhao Wang appeared.


    An oppressive and dreadful energy immediately descended on the area. Everyone beneath the half-step God Lord level trembled in fear, their minds beginning to inexplicably panic.


    At this moment, everyone focused on the Black Destruction Dragon.


    "This bloodline energy...!"


    "Heavens, the Destruction Dragon Race!"


    Everyone was intimidated by the Black Destruction Dragon.


    "It''s a member of the Destruction Dragon Race! This race has destroyed innumerable dimensions and factions. It''s an extremely evil and wicked race!" the bewitching woman from the Sky Water Yao Race spoke in an alluring voice.


    "Stubborn woman, what did you say?" The Black Destruction Dragon''s eyes turned cold.


    "Stand aside!" The Golden Dragon Valley Master and another half-step God Lord charged forward to push back the Black Destruction Dragon.


    "Seeking death!" The Black Destruction Dragon''s face turned savage as it unleashed a gout of Destructive draconic flames.


    The Black Destruction Dragon would do everything in its power to fulfill the mission Zhao Feng had entrusted to it. It knew what Zhao Feng was trying to do, so it could not allow anyone to disturb Zhao Feng.


    A battle was imminent. The members of Spirit Grass Gate immediately retreated.


    This was a battle of half-step God Lords. Any ordinary True God who lingered would just be seeking death.


    In a distant mountain valley:


    Bzzzz!


    A pitch-black figure suddenly appeared in the air.


    "They''ve started fighting." God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s eyes flashed with cold light.


    In truth, this was a situation that he did not want to see because the forces were of similar strength and he did not know how long they would keep fighting.


    However, for the Ninth God Eye, he could afford to be a little patient.


    "I didn''t think that this kid would also have a Destruction Dragon Race expert. It''s seems like my harvest will be very rich." God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s gaze rested on the Black Destruction Dragon for a few moments, an evil gleam in his eyes.


    He didn''t care what the current situation was. He knew that, in the end, Zhao Feng would fall into his hands.


    Elsewhere, the Violet Night Hall Lord was leading a group of three in flying toward Zhao Feng''s location.


    "Zhao Feng won''t be captured by another faction, right?" A half-step God Lord was somewhat anxious.


    Violet Night Hall was located in the center of the Gulong Zone, very far from the edge, so they would arrive rather late. "Not long ago, the Ziling Zone''s Spiritual Race and Blazing Gold Race had a major war. Zhao Feng had an outstanding performance on the battlefield, even pushing back a God Lord!" the Violet Night Hall Lord said. He was wearing a violet robe and was cloaked in a violet mist.


    In truth, he had also learned that the Ninth God Eye had appeared in the Chixing Zone. Even more bizarrely, the owner of the Ninth God Eye was rumored to be someone called Zhao Feng. However, the Chixing Zone was very far from the Ziling Zone. In the view of the Violet Night Hall Lord, these were not the same people.


    "How could that be?" The half-step God Lord who spoke just before was shocked.


    The Zhao Feng who was only a Quasi-God back then could now contend against God Lords?


    "Those minor factions only seek destruction if they attack Zhao Feng. In the end, this one will have to personally end everything," the Violet Night Hall Lord unhurriedly said.


    In just a few decades, Zhao Feng had gone from a Quasi-God to someone capable of fighting against God Lords. There was no question that he was hiding some kind of secret. And in the incident at Five Star Mountain, Zhao Feng truly had imprisoned members of Violet Night Hall. With this reason, the Violet Night Hall Lord could force Zhao Feng into handing over his treasures.

 1462 Becoming a God Lord III

    Chapter 1462 - Becoming a God Lord (III)


    Within the Spacetime Robe Dimension, Zhao Feng was completely focused on becoming a God Lord.


    Within his dantian, streams of light in all varieties of colors were surging back and forth.


    The God Altar down below seemed even more solid than before.


    The top of the God Altar was covered in wondrous patterns and designs that seemed to contain the principles of the world.


    Within the God Altar, crystalline Divine Power calmly flowed like streams of water.


    Above the God Altar, only three Divine Stages were left! These three Divine Stages were like hard blocks of ice, slowly melting and flowing into the God Altar down below.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Suddenly, a hint of instability appeared in the God Altar, and pure Divine Power surged out.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng immediately took out the Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng and absorbed its essence. A powerful Divine Power surged into his body.


    Under Zhao Feng''s guidance, this special Divine Power entered his God Altar. Gradually, the God Altar stabilized and became sturdier and more transparent.


    The Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng could stabilize the God Altar at a crucial moment, in addition pouring in a powerful strength that made the God Altar even stronger.


    After taking the Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng, Zhao Feng roused his spirits and hastened the pace. Even at this crucial point in the breakthrough process, he was still able to receive information from the outside world.


    He did not need to communicate with his clones to be able to share their vision.


    Above Spirit Grass Gate, a battle was imminent, and only the top-class experts of the major factions could actually take part in this battle. After all, ordinary Ancient Gods couldn''t even take the Destruction Dragon Breath of the Black Destruction Dragon.


    "Scram!" The Golden Dragon Valley Master''s eyes burned with anger as he roared.


    "You talk a lot of nonsense!" The Black Destruction Dragon was utterly fearless. Wreathed in endless Destruction flames¡¯ it charged forward. Kabooom!


    Surging black draconic flames condensed into a massive dragon that howled, engulfing the entire region in a Destructive aura!


    The Golden Dragon Valley Master turned solemn, a dazzling golden axe appearing in his right hand.


    Swoosh!


    Swinging the axe again and again, he unleashed one wave of golden light after another.


    But when the two attacks collided, it was the Golden Dragon Valley Master''s attacks that were instantly devoured by the black flame dragon.


    Sensing the Destruction energy in the Black Destruction Dragon''s attack, the Golden Dragon Valley Master was forced to retreat.


    "Damn, Destruction Dragon Race...!" The Golden Dragon Valley Master''s face darkened in anger and vexation.


    Although they were both half-step God Lords, his bloodline was of little use against the Black Destruction Dragon. In this first exchange, he was already on the back foot.


    "We''ve come to help you!" The matriarch of the Sky Water Yao Race and the long-armed elder saw that the situation was bad and came to assist.


    "Just what can you lot do!?" The Black Destruction Dragon raised its head to the sky and roared, its bloodline energy sweeping through the area.


    Nearby, the ordinary True Gods who were not taking part in this battle were struck by this wave of energy, vomited blood, and fell back.


    "Dragonflame Pearl!" The Black Destruction Dragon opened its mouth, spitting out a pearl covered in red dragon carvings.


    The Black Destruction Dragon possessed a top ten bloodline and a supreme-quality divine artifact. It was completely capable of challenging a God Lord.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!" The Black Destruction Dragon''s entire body seethed with black flames that combined into three massive dragons that attacked the three half-step God Lords.


    In the face of the Destruction Dragon flames, not even the Golden Dragon Valley Master dared to be careless. Only after using defensive techniques did he dare to clash with these attacks.


    The bewitching woman from the Sky Water Yao Race had powerful defensive techniques and was also able to contend against this attack.


    However, the long-armed elder''s bloodline was too weak, and he was immediately pushed back.


    "Scram!" the Black Destruction Dragon roared and threw itself into a frenzied assault.


    This heedless method of attack alarmed all three half-step God Lords and forced them to retreat. The reputation of the Destruction Dragon Race was not an empty one!


    "So powerful! Why is one of the top ten bloodlines serving Zhao Feng?" The Golden Dragon Valley Master was alarmed.


    "Hmph, what does it matter how strong it is? As long as we can hold it down until others arrive..." The long-armed elder got halfway through his words before he was forced to stop.


    He was hoping that the others would be able to help them after killing Zhao Wang and Zhao Kong, but when he sent out his Divine Sense, he discovered that the other battle was not going well.


    Zhao Kong and Zhao Wang were only peak Rank Nines, but they were both God Eye descendants equipped with supreme-quality divine artifacts. When fighting against half-step God Lords, they actually had the upper hand.


    Zhao Kong was particularly hard to deal with, as his Eyes of Spacetime had reached the Quasi God Eye level, making his speed and attacks so fast that they were nigh impossible to react to.


    Fwooosh!


    The air in front of him was filled with white blades that sliced and diced space.


    Boom! Whoosh!


    A white-haired elder flew out of the battlefield, his body covered in many wounds.


    "Damn, the Eyes of Spacetime and a spacetime-type supreme-quality divine artifact!" The white-haired elder had an extremely nasty expression. Even though he was a half-step God Lord, he couldn''t even deal with a peak Rank Nine.


    The battle above Spirit Grass Gate had all the experts in the vicinity stunned.


    "This... how could this be?"


    "Even half-step God Lords can''t do anything to Zhao Feng''s subordinates!?"


    The remaining members of the enemy factions found it impossible to believe their eyes. In terms of cultivation, their side had the absolute advantage, and in terms of combatants, they had two more than the opposing side. Despite that, their side was the one that was losing.


    In addition, very few people were capable of intervening in this level of battle. The Black Destruction Dragon stubbornly protected Spirit Grass Gate, and its flames were capable of almost instantly obliterating a Rank Nine Ancient God.


    The Spirit Grass Gate members were also shocked, but they were also relieved and excited.


    "So strong! Are these people all Zhao Feng''s subordinates?" The Spirit Grass Gate Master''s eyes were dazed.


    Zhao Feng''s subordinates weren''t just strong, they also had incredible backgrounds. Two were God Eye descendants while another belonged to a mythical top ten race.


    In his entire life, this was the first time he had ever seen one of the top ten races. He felt nothing but submission toward this incomparably powerful fighting force.


    "I just knew that Brother Zhao had a back-up plan!" Xiahou Wu smiled. But what exactly is Zhao Feng doing? Why has he still not come out?


    In his distant valley, God Lord Tyrant Dragon was watching everything.


    "Truly worthy of being the Ninth God Eye, he managed to gather some decent subordinates, but if he doesn''t come out soon, the situation will turn sour...." God Lord Tyrant Dragon gave a savage smile.


    His goal was to capture Zhao Feng, but the Ninth God Eye had still not come out. What in the world was he doing?


    "Ninth God Eye, hurry and come out!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon was brimming with anticipation.


    The Eight Great God Eyes were unique and comparable to the top ten ancient races. So, what sort of existence was the Ninth God Eye?


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The battle above Spirit Grass Gate had reached a fever pitch. But even now, the Black Destruction Dragon, Zhao Kong, and Zhao Wang were essentially uninjured while the half-step God Lords from the enemy factions all had various injuries.


    The white-haired elder fighting Zhao Kong was in especially poor shape. His injuries were serious, and he probably wouldn''t be able to last for long.


    "Damn! If his three subordinates are this strong, then how strong is Zhao Feng himself?" As the Golden Dragon Valley Master thought of this, he began to become afraid.


    But now that he thought about it again, Zhao Feng was only a Quasi-God sixty-some years ago, so he couldn''t be that strong. He probably hadn''t come out because he was too weak, so he was letting his subordinates fight for him.


    At this moment:


    "Haha, Golden Dragon Valley Master, this is really too unsightly!" A burst of brazen laughter came from the distance. "Chen Pavilion Master, hurry and help us!" The Golden Dragon Valley Master grimaced and immediately shouted back.


    The Black Destruction Dragon''s group was incredibly powerful and was able to hold them back for now, but more factions were still arriving. No matter how many tricks the Black Destruction Dragon''s group had, their defeat was inevitable.


    "I didn''t think I would ever see a Destruction Dragon with my own eyes!" As the Chen Pavilion Master flew over, a golden sword appeared in his hand. The moment it appeared, it fired off a dazzling bolt of golden light.


    The Black Destruction Dragon''s expression darkened. Even it found it rather difficult to fight against four half-step God Lords at once. But with its Destruction Dragon Body, it could still persist.


    "The situation is bad!" Xiahou Wu began to worry.


    As the stalemate continued, more and more experts began to enter the field. Even if they weren''t half-step God Lords, the advantage in numbers could eventually exhaust the Black Destruction Dragon''s group to death.


    But a little while later, loud laughter came from the distance; "Haha, this old man came at just the right time!"


    Thwish!


    An elder with a goatee and sparkling green eyes descended. An immense might that suppressed all engulfed the world. All the half-step God Lords present, including the Black Destruction Dragon, felt an invisible pressure.


    "Could this person be the long-famous Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost of the Gulong Zone? This is a First Heaven God Lord!" The Spirit Grass Gate Master turned ghastly pale.


    He had not expected this battle to draw in a God Lord. If a God Lord took action, everything would end in short order! "God Lord...!" The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon''s pupils constricted, and its face turned ghastly pale. "Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost!" The Golden Dragon Valley Master''s face turned solemn.


    The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost was a First Heaven God Lord skilled in the Soul Dao. He was always after his own personal gain, and if the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost was taking action, he would probably take most of the spoils for himself.


    But the Golden Dragon Valley Master no longer had any control over this situation.


    "Haha, just let this old man kill all of you. I''d like to see if Zhao Feng won''t come out then!" The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost scanned the Black Destruction Dragon, Zhao Kong, and Zhao Wang with dark eyes.


    "I''ll kill you first!" The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost settled his eyes on Zhao Wang.


    Dark green Soul energy formed into a massive blade that flew through the sky. This blade was incredibly sharp, and it seemed like it really could cleave apart Zhao Wang''s soul.


    It was just about to slash down. The peak Rank Nine Zhao Wang would never be able to take this blow.


    But Zhao Wang was incredibly calm at this time as if this attack was not even worth his attention.


    "You won''t be killing anybody!" a cold voice suddenly said.


    Boom! Hisss!


    A violet lightning dragon made from soul energy appeared, causing the souls of all the nearby experts to tremble. Brrrooom!


    The lightning dragon smashed into the soul blade and obliterated it.


    "Who goes there!?" the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost barked, his face gloomy. There was someone present who was his equal in soul attacks?


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng appeared, his body radiating a transcendent energy that stood above all. This sort of majestic aura was precisely that of a God Lord''s.


    "Didn''t you come to find me?" Zhao Feng first looked at the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost, and then he scanned the crowd.


    "God Lord?" The Golden Dragon Valley Master, the long-armed elder, and all the other half-step God Lords felt like their brains were short-circuiting. How could Zhao Feng be a God Lord?


    In the distance, the leaders of Yellow Dragon Pavilion and the Nether Ghost Race almost fell unconscious. If they had known that Zhao Feng was a God Lord, they would have never come to spectate.

 1463 Violet Night Hall Lord

    Chapter 1463 - Violet Night Hall Lord


    Zhao Feng suddenly appeared, revealing the aura of a God Lord.


    "God Lord!?" The Golden Dragon Valley Master, the Sky Water Yao Race Matriarch, and all the other half-step God Lords felt their faces turn stiff.


    They never would have expected for Zhao Feng to be a God Lord. In this situation, if the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost had not shown up, all of them would have been killed already.


    In the distance, the Spirit Grass Gate members felt like they had been struck by lightning bolts, all of them stunned.


    "That''s Zhao Feng?" The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost''s dark green eyes inspected Zhao Feng. He had believed that he would be able to easily capture Zhao Feng, not even imagining that Zhao Feng was actually a God Lord.


    "Sir is making trouble and has injured my subordinates. You will need to pay a heavy price!" Zhao Feng stared straight at the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost.


    "Hmph, you''re just someone who recently became a God Lord, and you''re actually so arrogant?" The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost narrowed his eyes as he scornfully spoke.


    The God Lord energy from just before was clearly from someone who had just broken through and was not able to control it well. He had traveled the same path, so he was able to easily reach this conclusion.


    The half-step God Lords felt slightly relieved upon hearing this. A God Lord who had only just broken through would definitely be no match for the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost.


    Swish!


    With a wave of Zhao Feng''s robes, he took the Black Destruction Dragon and his clones back into the Spacetime Robe.


    The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost and the half-step God Lords were confused by this. What did Zhao Feng mean by calling back all his subordinates? After all, they had six half-step God Lords and one God Lord on their side. Zhao Feng had only just become a God Lord. Did he really have the confidence to fight all of them alone?


    It seemed that the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost was right. Zhao Feng was truly too arrogant and brash.


    "Let me teach you a lesson, my junior who has only just recently broken through!" The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost appeared rather excited and impatient.


    "Soul-Cleaving Blade!"


    Bzzzzzzzz!


    Three dark green blades of enormous size made from Soul energy appeared above the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost. Just by hanging in the air, these three soul blades exuded immense pressure on the nearby half-step God Lords. As for the True Gods and Ancient Gods viewing the battle from a distance, they felt like knives had been placed against their necks.


    "This is what it means to be a Soul Dao God Lord? Such power!" The Golden Dragon Valley Master was alarmed. Such was the power of these three Soul-Cleaving Blades that only one was sufficient to obliterate his soul.


    "Senior, we''ll help you hold down Zhao Feng to prevent him from escaping." The Golden Dragon Valley Master smiled.


    In the current situation, if Zhao Feng was captured, the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost would be the only one who benefitted. Thus, he had to do something.


    After saying that, the Golden Dragon Valley Master shot a glance at the other half-step God Lords.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In a flash, the half-step God Lords had Zhao Feng surrounded.


    "I wonder, how many of my sabers can you take?" The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost wickedly smiled as he waved his hand. Swish! Plush!


    The three Soul-Cleaving Blades floated above Zhao Feng and then began to drop down, one by one.


    The first Soul-Cleaving Blade was about to strike Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng continued to stand there with a relaxed and unperturbed expression.


    Boom!


    The dark green blade slashed at Zhao Feng''s body. The sharp and tyrannical Soul energy within the blade rushed at Zhao Feng''s soul body.


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had reached the God Lord level long ago. After breaking through, his Soul Intent had only gotten even stronger. This, together with his Lightning Soul Body, made his soul¡¯s defenses impregn^^ class First Heaven God Lord. In addition, his God''s Spiritual Eye had also reached the God Eye level, which further increased his soul''s resistance.


    Kabooom!


    What seemed like endless Soul energy encroached upon Zhao Feng''s soul body, but in the end, it was all exhausted without doing anything to his soul.


    When that saber descended, everyone was shocked and dismayed.


    "Eh?" Even the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost was extremely surprised. Was this Zhao Feng simply not afraid of death? He didn''t even try to dodge or do anything in the face of this soul attack.


    But a moment later, the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost grimaced as he felt that something strange was going on. Zhao Feng seemed to be perfectly fine after being struck by his Soul-Cleaving Blade.


    Boom!


    The second Soul-Cleaving Blade came slashing down. Zhao Feng remained motionless and uncaring.


    The second Soul-Cleaving Blade was similarly useless. Zhao Feng continued to stand there in perfectly healthy shape.


    The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost''s face turned ashen. Despite being a God Lord skilled in the Soul Dao, he could do nothing to a junior God Lord who had only recently broken through.


    Boom!


    The most powerful third Soul-Cleaving Blade slashed at Zhao Feng''s soul, but there was still no effect.


    The half-step God Lords were all dumbfounded.


    "Is¡­is this real?" The Golden Dragon Valley Master found all this too absurd to be real.


    "Junior, you truly have many excellent possessions! You even have a soul-protecting supreme-quality divine artifact!" the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost suddenly yelled.


    This scene was far too humiliating, so this was all the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost could say to save face. However, this was also what he suspected to be the truth anyway.


    The others all nodded in agreement. Zhao Feng had to have some soul-protecting supreme-quality divine artifact. There was no other way to explain this. Moreover, Zhao Feng was wearing the Spacetime Robe and his subordinates all had their own supreme-quality divine artifacts. It was completely reasonable for him to possess a soul-type supreme- quality divine artifact.


    "Hmph, ignorant!" Zhao Feng snorted.


    He was in no rush to strike because he was accustoming himself to the Divine Power of a God Lord. He also wanted to test out his soul''s defensive capabilities. However, this time was over now.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, strength was everything, so everything should be resolved through strength. Swish!


    Zhao Feng vanished.


    The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost flipped his hand over, revealing a green shortsword.


    Thwish!


    He stabbed the sword forward, and in front of this sword''s edge, spatial ripples appeared as Zhao Feng emerged.


    "Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!" Chaos Origin Divine Power surged into Zhao Feng''s palm, condensing into a sword of turbid silver. This sword was so solid that it seemed real, countless flowing lights running across it.


    Swish!


    A moment later, it began to crackle with lightning.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two swords clashed, and the green shortsword in the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost''s hands was knocked away.


    "How could this be?" The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost grimaced. In the clash of Divine Power, he was defeated.


    Hasn''t Zhao Feng only recently become a God Lord? How could his Divine Power attacks be so powerful?


    But this was not the time to think about such things; that supremely powerful lightning sword of Zhao Feng''s was already swinging at him again.


    "Oh no!" The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost suddenly realized that he was engulfed by a Time Law and couldn''t dodge even if he wanted to.


    Boom! Hisss!


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword pierced through the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost''s chest, unleashing a spray of blood.


    Plush!


    The Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost vomited blood as he stared in a daze at Zhao Feng. At this moment, Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Divine Power was wreaking havoc and devouring everything in his body. He didn''t even dare to believe that such dreadful power was real.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng gripped the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword and summoned the Divine Power from his God Altar.


    Boom! Hisss!


    In a flash, the sword swelled in power, growing more than double its original size.


    "Ah...!" Wretched and hair-raising screams resonated throughout the world.


    Boom! Swish!


    With a sweep of the sword, he cleaved the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost in half.


    Whoosh!


    The scorched halves of the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost''s body fell to the ground. Everything within the divine body had been utterly destroyed, including the soul. With a single slash of Zhao Feng''s sword, the Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost''s soul had been cleaved apart!


    The six half-step God Lords turned ghastly pale, and their legs incessantly shook. This Soul-Cleaving Old Ghost had to have been talking nonsense. How could a newly-broken-through God Lord so easily kill another God Lord?


    "How could he be this powerful?!" The bewitching woman from the Sky Water Yao Race was completely filled with dread. Now that she thought about it, her previous actions were all suicidal!


    In the distant valley, God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s eyes shone with dazzling brilliance.


    "As expected of the Ninth God Eye! After Becoming a God Lord, he was easily able to slay a God Lord of the same level!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon began to get excited.


    "Have all of you come to settle accounts with this Zhao!?" Zhao Feng barked.


    An invisible soul pressure began to exude from his body. The six half-step God Lords felt like their souls were being assailed by lightning, and their bodies were wracked with pain and numbness. Even farther off, the True Gods and Ancient Gods were also affected, their bodies going numb.


    At this moment, there was absolute silence. Zhao Feng had even killed a God Lord, so who would dare continue to cause trouble for him? Was that not just seeking death?


    But at this moment, an even more powerful energy descended.


    Kabooom!


    The sky was dyed violet as the air became shrouded in a violet fog.


    "Zhao Feng, you are very bold to dare act so arrogantly in the Gulong Zone. You''ve even killed a God Lord of the Gulong Zone!" A violet-robed elder slowly emerged out of the violet fog.


    This elder had three half-step God Lords at his side.


    Violet Night Hall!" The Golden Dragon Valley Master was delighted.


    Violet Night Hall was one of the three five-star factions of the Gulong Zone. Moreover, the one who had come was the Violet Night Hall Lord, a Second Heaven God Lord.


    None of the factions present had expected the Violet Night Hall Lord to personally come.


    "It''s over now! Even the Violet Night Hall Lord has come!" The Spirit Grass Gate Master was deeply concerned.


    Violet Night Hall was unquestionably a gigantic existence of the Gulong Zone.


    "Zhao Feng is already a God Lord, so Violet Night Hall shouldn''t make trouble for him over that minor trifle from the past," an Elder of Spirit Grass Gate said.


    As long as Zhao Feng acted a bit more restrained and spoke properly with Violet Night Hall, the matter could be brought to an end here.


    "So, Violet Night Hall has also come to make trouble for this Zhao?" Zhao Feng looked at the Violet Night Hall and coldly asked.


    If the Violet Night Hall Lord had personally come, it meant that Violet Night Hall was prepared to attack him from the very start. There was practically zero chance of any negotiations. Thus, Zhao Feng couldn''t be bothered to exchange any pleasantries.


    You''ve made trouble in the territory administered by Violet Night Hall! How could Violet Night Hall let you do as you please?" The Violet Night Hall Lord was rather displeased by Zhao Feng''s attitude.


    But at this moment, he was basically sure that Zhao Feng had some heaven-defying treasure that was far above a supreme-quality divine artifact. Otherwise, Zhao Feng could have never reached the God Lord level, much less kill a First Heaven God Lord. If Violet Night Hall could get this treasure from Zhao Feng, the overall strength of the faction would receive a massive boost.


    Boom!


    The violet mist around the Violet Night Hall Lord became so thick that normal people could no longer see him. Those half-step God Lords closer to the Violet Night Hall Lord began to see illusions.


    A few moments later, the entire world had been transformed into a gloomy violet underworld.


    "Let''s go!" The nearby half-step God Lords paled and immediately retreated.


    In his distant valley, God Lord Tyrant Dragon was interested.


    "Ninth God Eye, can you beat a Second Heaven God Lord?" God Lord Tyrant Dragon was curious to know the answer. But no matter who won this battle, he would still be the ultimate victor.

 1464 Fighting a Second Heaven God Lord

    Chapter 1464 - Fighting a Second Heaven God Lord


    The Violet Night Hall Lord had only exchanged a few words with Zhao Feng, but both sides were already seething with killing intent.


    "How could this be?" The members of Spirit Grass Gate found this extremely strange. The two parties barely talked before resorting to fighting.


    It seemed as if the Violet Night Hall Lord had already prepared to attack and never even harbored any thought of negotiating. Zhao Feng seemed the same and did not show even the slightest respect to the Violet Night Hall Lord. He was a new God Lord while the Violet Night Hall Lord had become a God Lord tens of millions of years ago and was now at the Second Heaven.


    A violet night descended upon the world. Upon sensing this extremely oppressive energy, everyone retreated even farther away.


    "I managed to let you escape last time. This time, no matter how great your abilities are, you won''t be leaving!" The Violet Night Hall Lord spoke in a majestic and timeworn voice that resounded across the violet darkness.


    Kabooom!


    The violet fog surged, swiftly condensing into a massive violet claw.


    Even before the violet claw descended, it stirred up a bone-chilling gale. If not for the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng probably would have had to dodge.


    "Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng circulated Chaos Origin Divine Power, formed another Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword, and slashed.


    This was his first time fighting directly with a Second Heaven God Lord. He had to be cautious and fight with all his power.


    Bang!


    The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword tore a large opening in the violet claw. Violet fog leaked out of this tear, weakening the Violet Night Hall Lord''s attack by more than half.


    "Eh? With Tribulation Lightning power, his special Divine Power attack can actually contend against my Violet Light Divine Power?" The Violet Night Hall Lord was rather taken aback.


    He had already overestimated Zhao Feng somewhat before he arrived, but in this first clash, he was now realizing that Zhao Feng was still much stronger than what he expected.


    The Violet Night Hall Lord''s expression darkened as he extended both hands. Kabooom!


    In the violet night, two more gigantic violet claws formed. These violet claws were almost tangible, and they were covered in bewitching patterns.


    Boom!


    The two violet claws moved with incredible speed, attacking from both the left and right. Thwish!


    A white light appeared on Zhao Feng''s body, and then he transformed into a streak of light as he escaped the attack range of the Violet Night Hall Lord. His Divine Power attacks combined with Tribulation Lightning power could contend against a Second Heaven God Lord, but in a head-on confrontation, he would still be the one who was worse off.


    "This kid is actually quite fast!" The Violet Night Hall Lord grimaced.


    At the God Lord level, every attack was infused with some level of Space Intent or even a Space Law. For this reason, techniques like Spatial Blink or Instant Movement were unusable. But even without these abilities, Zhao Feng was still incredibly fast.


    Kabooom!


    A streak of light flew through the bizarre violet night, quickly leaving the two violet claws behind.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" As he was flying, Zhao Feng activated his left eye and fired off a miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    "Eye-bloodline technique?" The Violet Night Hall Lord had long ago sensed this. The violet fog in front of him condensed into a shield.


    "Truly a Second Heaven God Lord." Zhao Feng sighed.


    The Violet Night Hall Lord was extremely calm and careful when dealing with him. Even against an eye-bloodline technique from a First Heaven God Lord, the Violet Night Hall Lord still immediately took defensive measures.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye flashed with dreamy light that appeared abnormally dazzling in the violet darkness.


    Move... move up! He focused his mind on this thought as his left eye stared at the miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was using his Realization ability. This ability had more obvious effects on small objects and could make the impossible possible. For instance, just now, Zhao Feng altered the trajectory of his eye-bloodline technique mid-flight!


    "What?" The Violet Night Hall Lord''s eye flashed in shock.


    Whoosh!


    The miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword passed straight through his head.


    "How could this be!?" The Violet Night Hall Lord felt a hint of pain, but this was quickly overcome by surprise.


    Just now, his defensive skill should have been completely capable of blocking Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique, but the eye-bloodline technique suddenly changed trajectory, inexplicably moving upward.


    This was completely impossible in normal circumstances. Caught off guard, the Violet Night Hall Lord ended up being injured by Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique.


    Only the six half-step God Lords could clearly see what was happening on the battlefield.


    "How could this be? Zhao Feng injured the Violet Night Hall Lord!?" The Golden Dragon Valley Master''s mouth dropped in disbelief.


    However, the view was blurry, so not even he could tell just how Zhao Feng had managed to do this.


    "This... the Violet Night Hall Lord was probably careless and revealed a gap to Zhao Feng." The long-armed elder felt similar disbelief.


    The Violet Night Hall Lord was not a mediocre figure among the Second Heaven God Lords. How could he be wounded by a junior who had only recently become a God Lord?


    In the distant valley, God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s eyes narrowed.


    "The attack trajectory suddenly shifted...? Ninth God Eye, just how did you do it?" God Lord Tyrant Dragon was getting more and more excited, and he almost wanted to go out there now and plumb the secrets of the Ninth God Eye.


    "Brat, die!" The Violet Night Hall Lord was enraged.


    Boom!


    He activated his Violet Night Race bloodline, and his body immediately transformed into a body of flowing violet light, making him appear like some evil spirit in the violet night.


    Swooosh!


    Countless violet shadows began to surge out of the Violet Night Hall Lord''s body. Each of these violet shadows had the power of a full-strength blow from the Violet Night Hall Lord.


    "Chaos Heaven Black Hole!" Zhao Feng knew that the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword could not deal with these attacks and the God Eye Illusory Oblivion was also not capable of dealing with such a large-scale assault, so he could only use the Chaos Heaven Black Hole.


    Now that he had reached the sixth level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, Zhao Feng could use all of the Chaos Heaven Black Hole''s power!


    Fwooosh!


    Dark Chaos Origin Divine Power flooded out of Zhao Feng''s body and transformed into a sphere that enclosed Zhao Feng. This sphere began to deepen in color until it was completely black.


    Once the Chaos Heaven Black Hole finished forming, it began to emit a distorting and devouring power.


    Hwoooo!


    Several violet shadows arrived, but when these violet shadows reached a certain distance from the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, they came under the influence of the distorting power and began to weaken. And as they got closer, the devouring power assailed them.


    Boom! Bang!


    By the time the violet shadows collided with the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, their power had been more than halved. Thwish!


    After using the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, Zhao Feng began to move around at high speeds.


    "This brat has a powerful defensive technique too?" The Violet Night Hall Lord''s eyes turned grave.


    "Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!" A Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword suddenly formed on the surface of the Chaos Heaven Black Hole and slashed at the Violet Night Hall Lord.


    Whoosh!


    The Violet Night Hall Lord, his body formed from violet streams of light, easily dodged the attack.


    Thwish!


    Suddenly, a miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword shot forward, passing through the place he had just appeared and accurately striking him.


    "Damn, this brat..!" The Violet Night Hall Lord paled.


    The Violet Night Race was also skilled in speed, but the predictive abilities of Zhao Feng''s God Eye were simply too powerful and his eye-bloodline techniques too fast.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    As Zhao Feng attacked the Violet Night Hall Lord, those countless violet shadows continued to rush at him. Thankfully, he was moving at high speeds and was also predicting where these attacks would land. Otherwise, even the Chaos Heaven Black Hole would have been hard-pressed to resist these explosive attacks.


    After suffering a loss twice at Zhao Feng''s hands, the Violet Night Hall Lord could no longer contain his rage.


    "Junior, you brought this on yourself!" the Violet Night Hall Lord bellowed.


    Hisssss!


    The Violet Night Hall Lord''s body began to expand, seemingly fusing with the violet darkness.


    Violet Oblivion!" Divine Power surged in front of the Violet Night Hall Lord, transforming into a spinning stream of violet light. This violet stream of light rapidly expanded, and there were several violet shadows within that appeared to be monstrously powerful violet demons.


    The half-step God Lords in the distance were stunned and retreated even farther back.


    "I didn''t think that the Violet Night Hall Lord would use the secret bloodline art of the Violet Night Race, Violet Oblivion, so soon!"


    "I heard that Violet Oblivion contains many different kinds of energy and is immensely powerful. And the Violet Night Hall Lord has an extremely thick bloodline. When he uses this attack, it''s enough to heavily injure a God Lord of the same level!"


    The half-step God Lords were reeling in shock. In their view, Zhao Feng was doomed.


    But they had forgotten that Zhao Feng was the one who forced the Violet Night Hall Lord into using this technique. "Die!" the Violet Night Hall Lord roared, his voice shaking the heavens.


    Roooooar!


    A dreadful roar also emerged from that violet stream of light.


    Thwish!


    The surging violet stream rushed up to Zhao Feng. This speed was comparable to Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Sword eye-bloodline technique.


    God Eye... Illusory Oblivion!


    The Chaos Heaven Black Hole would not be able to block this attack, so Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Origin energy and used the God Eye Illusory Oblivion.


    Bzzzz!


    A dreamy point of light appeared in the violet darkness, painting the entire world in dreamy colors. In Zhao Feng''s eyes, that immense spinning stream of violet light was also covered in a layer of dreamy colors.


    Extinguish!


    His Thought power was put to work. A moment later, that terrifying attack vanished.


    In the distance, the Violet Night Hall Lord was smiling, apparently confident in his victory, when suddenly, his supreme attack vanished.


    "What?" The Violet Night Hall Lord''s face twisted in utter disbelief. How could Zhao Feng have undone his attack in only an instant?


    Boom! Hisss!


    As the Violet Night Hall Lord''s mind was reeling from shock, two Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Swords shot toward him.


    Swoosh!


    These two swords pierced through the Violet Night Hall Lord''s chest, seemingly nailing him to the void. Endless Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning power poured out of the swords and wreaked havoc on the Violet Night Hall Lord''s divine body.


    You... just how did you do that?" The Violet Night Hall Lord summoned his divine power and prepared to break free. But why would Zhao Feng give him the chance?


    "Intrusive Dream!" Zhao Feng circulated his Origin energy and his Thought power. In a flash, he created a dream world.


    As his left eye focused on the Violet Night Hall Lord''s body and exuded a dreamy radiance, the Violet Night Hall Lord couldn''t help but look. At this moment, the Violet Night Hall Lord''s mind felt an unprecedented pull.


    "What''s going on? This is..." The Violet Night Hall Lord had no idea what Zhao Feng was up to. However, he could see a heavenly paradise through Zhao Feng''s left eye, and this vision gave him an unprecedented sense of danger.

 1465 God Lord Ambush

    Chapter 1465 - God Lord Ambush


    "What''s going on? This is..." The Violet Night Hall Lord had no idea what Zhao Feng was up to, but he could see a heavenly paradise through Zhao Feng''s left eye, and this vision gave him an unprecedented sense of danger. The Violet Night Hall Lord immediately mobilized his Soul Intent to resist.


    "This kid has such powerful Soul Intent!" The Violet Night Hall Lord was alarmed.


    Even though he was a Second Heaven God Lord, the Soul eye-bloodline technique of a First Heaven God Lord was still able to shake his Soul Intent. The Violet Night Hall Lord soon realized that this was partially related to Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    "Could that Ninth God Eye that briefly appeared in the Chixing Zone really be him?" When he thought of this rumor, the Violet Night Hall Lord couldn''t help but be shocked.


    In his mind, the Ninth God Eye was an unreachable and mythical existence. For this reason, he did not believe that the Zhao Feng he knew was the holder of the Ninth God Eye. But now that the Violet Night Hall Lord felt an intense danger, he could not help but believe that the rumor might be true.


    In the distance, the six half-step God Lords were in deep consternation.


    "What''s going on? What happened just now?" The long-armed elder had a stunned expression.


    The Violet Night Hall Lord had just unleashed his powerful skill, Violet Oblivion, so why did it suddenly vanish?


    At this moment, a dreamy radiance burst out of the thick violet fog, causing everyone to turn and look.


    "What''s that?" Their minds were drawn toward that ball of dreamy radiance, and suddenly, they were in a different dimension.


    In the center of the battlefield:


    "Intrusive Dream!" Zhao Feng''s left eye, which was focused on the Violet Night Hall Lord, was releasing wave after wave of dreamy light.


    The Violet Night Hall Lord clenched his teeth and tried to resist.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Suddenly, the two Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning swords pierced through the Violet Night Hall Lord suddenly increased in power, sending more Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning energy through his body. For a moment, the Violet Night Hall Lord''s mind was knocked off balance.


    "Oh no!" The Violet Night Hall Lord''s mind was drawn into Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    A moment later, he appeared in a Dream Dimension.


    The surroundings were clearly that of the place near Spirit Grass Gate where he had been fighting with Zhao Feng a moment ago, but at this moment, Spirit Grass Gate was overlaid in dreamy and gorgeous colors. These were things that could only appear in dreams, yet everything seemed incredibly real for the Violet Night Hall Lord.


    Violet Night Hall Lord!" Nearby, the Golden Dragon Valley Master and the other five half-step God Lords called out in alarm.


    "Why are they here too?"


    These half-step God Lords also seemed incredibly real to the Violet Night Hall Lord. These strange images all made the Violet Night Hall Lord feel uneasy, and he prepared to use his powers to leave this strange dimension.


    At this moment:


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s figure appeared in the distance.


    "Oh? These fellows came as well?" Zhao Feng looked at the Golden Dragon Valley Master''s group.


    His Intrusive Dream was primarily targeted at the Violet Night Hall Lord, but the half-step God Lords were nearby, so they were affected too. They were only half-step God Lords and had very little ability to resist, so they were immediately drawn into Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension.


    "Then you can die together!" Zhao Feng loudly laughed.


    "Ridiculous! You alone think you can kill us?" The Violet Night Hall Lord felt like he was hearing a big joke.


    Violet Night Hall Lord, we''ll help you to kill this kid!" The Golden Dragon Valley Master''s expression darkened.


    The Violet Night Hall Lord nodded. He had suffered one loss after another while fighting Zhao Feng. At this moment, not even he was that confident in his chances. However, if he had the help of these people, he would feel somewhat more confident.


    But as the Violet Night Hall Lord prepared to move, he felt like he was moving through a swamp, his movements excruciatingly slow. As for the six half-step God Lords, they couldn''t move at all.


    Bzzzz!


    At the same time, several thousand Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Swords appeared in the dreamy sky!


    "How could this be!?" The Violet Night Hall Lord blurted out in shock.


    He had learned how powerful these swords were from his clashes with Zhao Feng, but Zhao Feng was only able to form two of them at once. But now, several thousand of these Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Swords had appeared without any warning.


    "No...! What''s going on here!?"


    The six half-step God Lords were immediately scared out of their wits. Why had they become as weak as ants while Zhao Feng was immensely powerful?


    "This dimension is strange!" The Violet Night Hall Lord''s mind erupted with his powerful will.


    The Dream Dimension immediately showed signs of instability. The thousands of Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Swords hanging in the air began to quiver, some of them even shattering.


    But only a few were lost, doing little to reduce the overall power of this attack.


    "As expected of a Second Heaven God Lord! Although he''s in my dream, he can still resist." Zhao Feng''s expression turned serious as he waved his hand.


    Swooosh!


    The dense array of Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Swords in the sky descended in a rain of swords.


    "Oh no!" The Violet Night Hall Lord sensed that is life was in peril, and his mind erupted with an even more powerful soul energy that caused the entire dimension to shake.


    Thwish!


    A Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword stabbed into his left shoulder. The intense pain caused the Violet Night Hall Lord''s mind to become even clearer.


    His desire to live caused his mind to erupt with unprecedented soul energy.


    Kaboom!


    The entire Dream Dimension became transparent and thin. The Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Swords dropping down were drastically weakened, and though a few of them did hit the Violet Night Hall Lord, they did not inflict that much damage.


    Bzzzz!


    The Violet Night Hall Lord''s body began to turn transparent as he escaped this place.


    However, the six half-step God Lord were mauled by the rain of swords, their bodies collapsing and scattering.


    Back in the outside world, the Violet Night Hall Lord''s mind returned to his body, his expression tired and weak. He stroked the wound on his left shoulder and the other wounds on his body, a dazed look on his face.


    Everything he had experienced just now seemed like a nightmare, but upon awakening, he discovered that everything that happened in the dream was actually reflected on his body. Nearby, he could also sense that the six half-step God Lords had been slain.


    "Just what is this ability?" The Violet Night Hall Lord was stunned. Previously, Zhao Feng had suddenly altered the course of his attack and injured him. After that, Zhao Feng undid his killing move, causing him to once more be struck by Zhao Feng''s attack. And this time, the ability Zhao Feng had used was even more inconceivable.


    "He actually escaped?" Zhao Feng turned to the Violet Night Hall Lord in surprise.


    He had used Intrusive Dream very few times and didn''t understand its limits very well. The Violet Night Hall Lord was the first person to escape his dream.


    "Zhao Feng, Violet Night Hall will no longer investigate your conduct." The Violet Night Hall Lord now felt dread when he gazed at Zhao Feng.


    Moreover, when escaping from that Dream Dimension, he had consumed enormous amounts of soul energy. This, together with his heavy wounds, made him unable to continue fighting even if he wanted to. If Zhao Feng used any more absurd abilities, he might even die here.


    Thwish!


    The Violet Night Hall Lord turned into a stream of violet light and vanished into the distance. The three people who had come with the Violet Night Hall Lord left with him.


    Zhao Feng did not pursue, he only watched them leave.


    It was actually very difficult to draw the mind of a Second Heaven God Lord into his Intrusive Dream, and he had greatly taxed himself in doing so. Moreover, this place was the Gulong Zone, and if he wanted to kill the Violet Night Hall Lord, the other five-star actions would not just stand back. Even the Sacred Land could intervene.


    The world gradually calmed back down. Everyone was standing around in shock.


    The Violet Night Hall Lord ran?"


    "I saw the wounds on the Violet Night Hall Lord''s body! I didn''t think that even he would lose!"


    Cries of shock and surprise could be heard from all around.


    The other factions like the Sky Water Yao Race and Golden Dragon Valley also realized that their half-step God Lords were no more!


    "Die!" Zhao Feng turned to the distant Yellow Dragon Pavilion and Nether Ghost Race and thrust out a finger.


    Thwish!


    A bolt of Chaos Origin Divine Power flew into the distance.


    Your Excellency, spare us!"


    "Run!"


    The members of the two factions wanted to flee, but they discovered that both their movements and thinking speed had slowed to a crawl. They could only watch as that Chaos Origin Divine Power approached.


    Boom! Bang!


    This ordinary Chaos Origin Divine Power created an explosion in the distance, with the two factions being caught up in the explosion.


    When the dust settled, no one was left!


    "Let''s go!" Upon seeing this, everyone else at the scene began to retreat.


    With the Violet Night Hall Lord having fled, the remaining people present could not take even one blow from Zhao Feng.


    In the distant mountain valley:


    "The Violet Night Hall Lord actually lost! Ninth God Eye, as expected, you did not disappoint me, and you will not disappoint our lord either!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s eyes burst with light and his arms trembled, but in the end, he managed to restrain himself.


    A few moments later, Spirit Grass Gate''s vicinity was devoid of people. That black figure in the mountain valley also gradually faded away.


    In the following period, no one came to make trouble for Zhao Feng. Yellow Dragon Pavilion and the Nether Ghost Race had been annihilated, and Spirit Grass Gate used the first opportunity to dispatch people to occupy their territories.


    Spirit Grass Gate now had three times the territory and a large amount of resources. It wouldn''t take long until it attained its former glory. And because of Zhao Feng''s influence, no one dared to try and touch Spirit Grass Gate.


    Three months later, Han Ning''er decided to return to the Life Sacred Land. Only there could she have a better future, and this was also what Spirit Grass Gate desired.


    One day, Zhao Feng, Xiahou Wu, and Han Ning''er left Spirit Grass Gate. Although the journey was long, Zhao Feng was a God Lord, so he could use the teleportation arrays of the Gulong Zone''s five-star factions without condition.


    When he arrived at Violet Night Hall, Violet Night Hall had even prepared a gift for Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    Using Violet Night Hall''s teleportation array, the three of them were able to arrive at the border of the territory administered by Violet Night Hall. The three of them proceeded toward the next five-star faction.


    But before they arrived, Zhao Feng suddenly stopped.


    "What''s wrong?" Xiahou Wu and Han Ning''er looked at him in confusion.


    "Sir, come out," Zhao Feng calmly said.


    Whoosh!


    A black figure emerged out of the distant clouds and appeared before the three. An oppressive energy immediately engulfed the area.


    "So strong! A Second Heaven!?" Xiahou Wu''s body trembled, and his face froze.


    This expert who had suddenly appeared felt even stronger than the Violet Night Hall Lord. If Zhao Feng wasn''t present, he and Han Ning''er might have simply exploded under the influence of this person''s pressure.


    "Good Sir, for what reason were you waiting here for this Zhao?"


    They had used a Teleportation Array to get here. This person had been waiting in ambush here, meaning that he knew the route Zhao Feng would be taking. This also meant that this person had a powerful faction backing him. As this was the Gulong Zone, Zhao Feng immediately thought of its three five-star factions.


    "Ninth God Eye, you don''t need to go anywhere!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon stared at Zhao Feng''s left eye, unable to hide his excitement and agitation.

 1466 Powerful Foe

    Chapter 1466 - Powerful Foe


    "Ninth God Eye, you don''t need to go anywhere!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon stared at Zhao Feng''s left eye, unable to hide his excitement and agitation.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed. He wasn''t surprised that this man knew that he was the Ninth God Eye, but it was clear from these words that he was after nothing more than the Ninth God Eye.


    "The two of you leave first." Zhao Feng stared at the man as he messaged Xiahou Wu and Han Ning''er.


    This Second Heaven God Lord knew their route, meaning that he had an immense and powerful intelligence network behind him. Thus, this person definitely knew that Zhao Feng had defeated the Second Heaven Violet Night Hall Lord. Despite knowing full well Zhao Feng''s power, this person still dared to come. This made Zhao Feng even more cautious.


    In order to prevent any accidents, he had Xiahou Wu and Han Ning''er leave first.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Xiahou Wu and Han Ning''er immediately left. They would be of no help in a battle of God Lords, and might even be an obstacle. In addition, Xiahou Wu also sensed God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s power. This would probably be a tough battle, and it was best if they did not affect Zhao Feng in any way.


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s gaze was fixed on Zhao Feng, and he paid no attention to the departure of Xiahou Wu and Han Ning''er.


    "If you are willing to offer your eye, I can let you live and let you join my faction," God Lord Tyrant Dragon calmly said. "And what faction is that?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    In his view, the Gulong Zone had three five-star factions and its Sacred Land. They were the only ones capable of possessing such a large information network and also mobilizing a God Lord. The chances that the three five-star factions were behind this were very low though. The greatest possibility was the Gulong Zone''s Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.


    "If you hand over your Ninth God Eye, I''ll tell you!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon savagely smiled. If Zhao Feng was willing to hand over his Ninth God Eye, that would truly prove that Zhao Feng wanted to join his faction.


    "If you want it, come and take it!" Zhao Feng''s face turned serious, pure Divine Power surging out of his God Altar.


    "I will definitely get my hands on the Ninth God Eye!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon coldly snorted, forbidden bloodline energy gathering up in his body.


    Boom!


    Endless black dragon breath spewed out of every opening between his scales, immediately turning the world into a sea of black and red fire. An oppressive and calamitous energy descended upon Zhao Feng, who was at the center of this sea of fire.


    "Destruction Dragon Race?" Zhao Feng was slightly alarmed. He had sensed this before, but to see it with his own eyes was even more surprising.


    This was the second Destruction Dragon he had ever seen. Moreover, this person with the Destruction Dragon Race bloodline was also a Second Heaven God Lord. It was difficult to imagine his true level of strength.


    In the Spacetime Robe''s dimension, the Black Destruction Dragon felt its blood tremble.


    "What''s going on? What a powerful Destruction Dragon Race bloodline!" The Black Destruction Dragon was flabbergasted.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon waved both his claws. The red and black flames immediately condensed into two flame dragons that charged at Zhao Feng.


    Even before the attacks arrived, Zhao Feng could already sense danger.


    "Truly the Destruction Dragon Race! Their attacks are capable of destroying the entire world!" Zhao Feng did not dare to act recklessly and immediately used his Chaos Origin Divine Power to create a Chaos Heaven Black Hole.


    Hisssss!


    The pitch-black sphere enveloped Zhao Feng while emitting powerful distorting and devouring energy.


    Of course, even after using the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, Zhao Feng would not directly take God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s attack. God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s attack was much stronger than the Violet Night Hall Lord''s attack, so even the Chaos Heaven Black Hole was not guaranteed to stop it.


    Thwish!


    While maintaining the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, Zhao Feng began to rapidly move around.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    A ball of Chaos Origin Divine Power appeared on the two sides of the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, each one forming into a Chaos Origin Divine Sword. These Chaos Origin Divine Swords began to crackle with lightning and then shot toward God Lord Tyrant Dragon.


    "Hmph!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon coldly snorted and charged straight forward.


    Boom!


    Red and black flames erupted from his body, transforming him into a pitch-black dragon that opened its savage maw wide, which spewed Destruction Dragon flames and then bit down.


    Clingclang!


    One of Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Swords was caught in God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s jaws while the other one left a wound on his body. However, the Destruction Dragon Race had the Destruction Dragon Body, and even wounds inflicted by the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword could be healed rather quickly.


    Meanwhile, God Lord Tyrant Dragon spewed out a ball of Destruction Dragon Flames that shot toward Zhao Feng along the trail left by the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng was forced to relinquish the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    "So difficult to deal with...." Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    Even though both were Second Heaven God Lords, God Lord Tyrant Dragon could probably crush the Violet Night Hall Lord.


    "Kid, don''t you also have an Ancestral Artifact fragment!?" God Lord Tyrant Dragon roared as he charged at Zhao Feng.


    "What?" Zhao Feng was stunned. This God Lord Tyrant Dragon even knew that he had an Ancestral Artifact fragment?


    But now that he thought about it, he remembered that he had used the Ancestral Artifact fragment in the battle within the Scorching Underworld, allowing more people to learn of it.


    "If you don''t take it now, you won''t get the chance!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon rapidly approached Zhao Feng, his bloodline energy making Zhao Feng feel extremely uncomfortable.


    Swish!


    At this moment, a black metallic fragment appeared next to God Lord Tyrant Dragon, exuding a dreadful Destructive energy.


    The moment this metallic fragment appeared, all the Destruction Dragon Flames in the area began to gather around it. This immense power was enough for even Zhao Feng to tremble in fear.


    "Ancestral Artifact fragment!?" Zhao Feng blurted out in shock.


    Yes, the black metallic fragment God Lord Tyrant Dragon had taken out was also an Ancestral Artifact fragment!


    Boom! Swish!


    The Ancestral Artifact fragment swept through the air, releasing a wave of black flame. These black flames distorted the space they passed through and even left black embers behind. Swish!


    Zhao Feng did not dare to hold anything back and took out his own Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    The moment the time-type Ancestral Artifact fragment appeared, it released a white light that somewhat suppressed all the flames.


    "Time Execution!" Zhao Feng swung the Ancestral Artifact fragment, unleashing a massive crystalline white blade.


    Everything in the vicinity of this blade slowed to a crawl, but the white blade itself moved with incredible speed. It almost instantly collided with the wave of black flame.


    Boom! Bang!


    Time and Destruction Laws clashed, black and white energies exploding outward.


    Thwish!


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon ignored the impact of this explosion, relying on his powerful Destruction Dragon Body to bear the attack so that he could get closer to Zhao Feng.


    "Destruction Dragon Leap!" He opened his mouth, and a savage black dragon howled forth to attack Zhao Feng.


    This black dragon of flames was identical to God Lord Tyrant Dragon, as if it was a clone. The only difference was that this dragon was formed from condensed Destruction Dragon Flames.


    "So powerful! A Second Heaven Destruction Dragon with an Ancestral Artifact fragment! And this person''s talent for battle, his experience, and his skills are all extraordinary!" Zhao Feng started to get nervous.


    The black flame dragon was getting closer and closer, and its attack range was so large that it was difficult to avoid. And the Chaos Heaven Black Hole would probably not be able to stop it.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng resolved himself, and his left eye began to flash with dreamy light.


    "The Ninth God Eye, huh?" God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s eyes gleamed in anticipation.


    "Dreamification!" Dreamy mist spiraled out of Zhao Feng''s left eye, fusing into the surrounding world. Everything in his eyes was covered in dreamy and dazzling colors.


    But now was no time to appreciate the scenery; the danger was only getting closer!


    "Break!" Zhao Feng focused his mind on that flame dragon.


    He thrust out a finger, firing off Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    Booom!


    When the Chaos Origin Divine Power struck the flame dragon, the dragon popped like it was a bubble. The Chaos Origin Divine Power passed through and vanished into the distance.


    "Oh? Is this the mystical ability of the Ninth God Eye?" God Lord Tyrant Dragon was elated.


    He had never seen this ability before. Even after seeing it with his own eyes, he still could not comprehend its principles.


    God Eye Duplication: Destruction Dragon Leap! Zhao Feng''s left eye thrummed with vast amounts of Origin energy.


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon suddenly stopped and sent his Divine Sense behind him. A silver Eye of Heaven had appeared, embedded in the sky. At this moment, even his Destruction Dragon Race bloodline felt suppressed.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    A dreamy mist emerged from the Eye of Heaven. Suddenly, a black Destruction Dragon appeared out of the dreamy mist, its claws flying and its jaws open as it charged at God Lord Tyrant Dragon.


    "This is...?" God Lord Tyrant Dragon was struck dumb. Zhao Feng had just used his own powerful combat skill!


    But this was impossible! This was a bloodline skill of the Destruction Dragon Race, and Zhao Feng had no Destruction Dragon Flames, so how had he done it?


    However, when he thought about the Ninth God Eye, the God Lord Tyrant Dragon did not continue to wonder. Kaboom!


    The black Destruction Dragon slammed into God Lord Tyrant Dragon, unleashing endless black flames.


    Destruction Dragon Race experts possessed the Destruction Dragon Body and the Destruction Dragon Flame. These two powers actually somewhat countered each other.


    Kabooom!


    Many black scorch marks appeared on God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s body and Destruction Dragon Flames seethed and roiled.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" Zhao Feng¡¯s left eye fired off a miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    After firing off the Chaos Origin Divine Sword, he also used several more powerful eye-bloodline techniques, including the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, Earthshaking Nova, and Flame Soul Devil Eye.


    All these eye-bloodline techniques were almost instantly unleashed. Zhao Feng used to be confused about how this sort of thing was possible, but now, he was sure that this was a manifestation of his Realization ability. When he fiercely desired to release an eye-bloodline technique, his eye-bloodline techniques would almost instantly be ready to be unleashed.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Several powerful kinds of energy exploded on God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s body.


    "Time Execution!" The Ancestral Artifact fragment returned to Zhao Feng''s hand, and he used it to fire off several powerful crystalline white blades.


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s Ancestral Artifact fragment had its own consciousness, and it released powerful attacks to block for its master. However, one Ancestral Artifact fragment was attacking on its own while the other was under another''s control, and there was a gap between these two things.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Black flames and white light collided, but a crystalline white blade flew out of the explosions and struck God Lord Tyrant Dragon.


    "Go!" With a solemn expression, Zhao Feng circulated Spacetime energy and instantly fled.


    He momentarily had the upper hand, but that barrage took a great deal of energy, particularly when using Law power and the abilities of his Dream God Eye. God Lord Tyrant Dragon was both a Second Heaven God Lord and also had the bloodline of a top ten race, and it was hard to say what sort of trump cards he could have. Victory would be extremely difficult and come at an immense price.


    A few moments after Zhao Feng left:


    "Damn, he ran off!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon raised his head and bellowed.


    When that Time Execution struck him, the power of the Time Law had caused his recovery speed, thinking speed, and movements to slow down. Otherwise, Zhao Feng would have never escaped so easily.


    But God Lord Tyrant Dragon was rather badly wounded now. Even if he chased, victory was not guaranteed. More importantly, Zhao Feng possessed a Time Ancestral Artifact fragment, so he wasn''t even guaranteed to catch Zhao Feng.

 1467 Zhao Fengs Divine Kingdom

    Chapter 1467 - Zhao Feng''s Divine Kingdom


    In his first clash with the Ninth God Eye, God Lord Tyrant Dragon had failed.


    "No... how could I have failed!?" A hint of panic appeared on God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s face as if he had thought of something frightening.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Spatial ripples began to appear as a spatial vortex appeared around God Lord Tyrant Dragon. Gradually, the spatial vortex shrank, but the spatial ripples intensified.


    Swish!


    A moment later, God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s body disappeared along with the spatial vortex.


    By using Spatial Shift, God Lord Tyrant Dragon was quickly able to return to the faction hidden within the Gulong Zone''s Wailing Ghost Ravine - Demon-Defying Palace.


    A heavy and deathly air hung within the secret hall. All the members knew that God Lord Tyrant Dragon had failed.


    Of course, they were all astonished. How could someone of God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s strength have failed?


    "Expand the intelligence network! I need to be informed of any news of Zhao Feng as soon as possible!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon gnashed his teeth and said.


    Yes!" the members in the hall responsible for intelligence immediately replied.


    At this moment, God Lord Tyrant Dragon felt a strange ripple from his interspatial dimension. He grimaced as he took out an eight-sided and simple token.


    The moment this token appeared, all the other members got down on one knee, pious expressions of worship on their faces.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The token rippled with chaotic streams of light, which created a hazy fog. The blurry shadow of some large and imposing figure appeared within this fog.


    "Lord Protector!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon had a respectful expression, but he inwardly began to panic.


    You failed?" a cold and indifferent voice spoke.


    These words caused not just God Lord Tyrant Dragon, but all the experts in the hall, to fall into a fearful silence, their bodies breaking out in a cold sweat. All of them felt as if death was imminent.


    "Please give me another chance! I will capture Zhao Feng soon!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon hastily said in panic.


    Very well, I will give you a chance to redeem yourself," the muffled voice emotionlessly said.


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon and the experts of the Demon-Defying Palace sighed in relief.


    The Divine Emissary has already begun to move. Do your utmost to assist them." After this final word, the figure vanished.


    "A Divine Emissary!?" The members of the hall tensed up as if they heard something dreadful.


    "I didn''t think that even the Divine Emissary would be mobilized." God Lord Tyrant Dragon took in a deep breath.


    The Divine Emissary was a top-class expert of that powerful faction that would only show up for major events, yet the Divine Emissary had been mobilized this time?


    "Zhao Feng, just where are you going to run?" A savage light in his eyes, God Lord Tyrant Dragon vanished in a burst of black and red draconic flames.


    After fleeing, Zhao Feng flew for a while but did not find Xiahou Wu or Han Ning''er. Thus, Zhao Feng decided to use Thought Teleportation to return to the Spiritual Race.


    He took up a cross-legged position in the air and then fell asleep. This time, Zhao Feng imagined the scene of his residence in the Spiritual Race.


    When using Thought Teleportation, if the targeted location had changed, the teleportation would fail. He was confident that his own residence had probably not changed much.


    In the Spiritual Race:


    Bzzzz!


    A distorted and dreamy light suddenly appeared within a palace within the core disciple area. A figure soon emerged from it.


    "I''ve returned!" Zhao Feng opened his eyes in delight.


    He then left his residence and made his way toward the Spiritual Race''s forbidden ground to report to the Second Elder. After all, he had been away from the Spiritual Race for a very long time.


    "Zhao Feng, you came back!?" The Second Elder was flabbergasted.


    Ever since he had learned of the rumor connecting Zhao Feng to the Ninth God Eye, he was incredibly worried.


    In the eyes of the people of this world, the Eight Great God Eyes were the symbols of God Kings, the supreme experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. However, this newly-appeared Ninth God Eye had not fully matured. In these circumstances, many factions would choose to try and recruit Zhao Feng. But even more factions might choose to seize the Ninth God Eye for themselves.


    The holder of the Ninth God Eye had a rather large chance of becoming a God King. This was an immense temptation for many people, particularly Second Heaven and Third Heaven God Lords.


    When Zhao Feng vanished, the Second Elder believed that Zhao Feng had been slain by some vicious individual. Fortunately, Zhao Feng had safely returned.


    "How is Yufei?" Zhao Feng asked in concern.


    "When she learned of what happened to you, she began to cultivate even more earnestly, saying that she wanted to protect you." The Second Elder shook his head and smiled.


    Zhao Feng also felt a surge of warmth and smiled.


    The leaking of the rumor concerning the Ninth God Eye truly was a major problem. For example, God Lord Tyrant Dragon had attacked Zhao Feng precisely because he wanted the Ninth God Eye. There would be many more incidents like this in the future.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was a major problem, a star of disaster. People would either fear him or attack him. But Zhao Yufei was actually worried for Zhao Feng and wanted to get stronger so that she could bear the burden together with Zhao Feng.


    "No one should even think about trying to seize the Ninth God Eye!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed with determination.


    Obtaining the Ninth God Eye was truly the greatest opportunity in his entire life, but it meant that he had to bear the corresponding risk.


    I need to become strong enough so that no one will even dare to think about getting the Ninth God Eye! Zhao Feng''s will to fight blazed to life.


    For his own life, he needed to rapidly get stronger. The Second Elder was right. It wasn''t just Second Heaven God Lords that would be after the Ninth God Eye, but Third Heavens as well!


    "Elder, are there any cultivation arts for First Heaven God Lords and above?" Zhao Feng inquired.


    The Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique could only be cultivated to the peak of the First Heaven. Without an art, one could still slowly progress or else slowly create one''s own technique, but this took far too long and would severely hinder Zhao Feng''s objective of rapidly maturing.


    "The Spiritual Race has an art that can be used to cultivate until the Third Heaven, but it is only suitable for those of the Spiritual Race bloodline." The Second Elder shook his head.


    Zhao Feng was not surprised by this answer. The fact that God Lords were so few and far between was, to a certain extent, related to the arts available. After all, finding an art suitable for anyone was far too difficult, and an unsuitable art would affect one''s future potential.


    After chatting for a little longer, Zhao Feng returned to his own residence. The Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique was enough for him to cultivate for now.


    Zhao Feng entered seclusion within the Spacetime Robe.


    He had only recently become a God Lord. Although his foundation was firm, it was still rather hasty.


    Three years quickly passed within the Spacetime Robe. In this period, Zhao Feng stabilized his strength and cultivation.


    In his body, his dim God Altar was covered in strange patterns that would occasionally flash with light. Zhao Feng''s God Altar was much sturdier than it was when he just broke through.


    At this time, Zhao Yufei came to visit.


    "Brother Feng, it''s wonderful that you''re okay!" Zhao Yufei rushed over and rested her beautiful face on Zhao Feng''s chest.


    In the Continent Zone, she suspected that Zhao Feng was the Ninth God Eye, but when she came to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and realized just how powerful the God Eyes were, she pushed aside this idea. She never imagined that Zhao Feng really would be the Ninth God Eye.


    "It won''t be long before I can become a half-step God Lord. With the Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng, I''ll be able to become a God Lord!" Zhao Yufei sternly said.


    She was already a peak Rank Nine, but this was still far from enough. She was anxious to increase her cultivation level so that she could help Zhao Feng.


    "There''s no need to be in such a rush. It''s fine as long as you can protect yourself."


    As Zhao Feng embraced her, he felt even more driven to fight.


    The news of his return was a tightly-guarded secret and had not gotten out yet. Thus, Zhao Feng went out very rarely, and Zhao Yufei spent only a little time before going back.


    "Now, I can start creating my Divine Kingdom!"


    Zhao Feng continued his seclusion.


    Only God Lords with a Law could create a Divine Kingdom.


    Divine Kingdom dimensions were incredibly in tune with the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and they were even more unique, as one could grow various kinds of natural resources and raise special beasts within them.


    Divine Kingdom dimensions were also incredibly sturdy. God Lords of the same level would find it very hard to force their way inside.


    If God Altars were a source of power for God Lords, then Divine Kingdoms were a second source of power. Energy could be stored within Divine Kingdoms for their owner to use in the future.


    Similarly, sufficiently powerful Divine Kingdoms could be used in battle.


    But typical God Lords would only use Divine Kingdoms in battle if their life was in peril. Creating a Divine Kingdom was incredibly difficult and required enormous time and expense.


    "I have enough resources to create a Divine Kingdom, but the time..." Zhao Feng began to think.


    Based on what he knew, a typical God Lord would need several thousand years, even tens of thousands of years, to create a Divine Kingdom. This time wasn''t much for a God Lord, but it was incredibly long for Zhao Feng.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng thought back to the Divine Kingdom Auction. A Divine Kingdom had been auctioned off there for the high price of eleven million. That was because it was possible to directly refine that Divine Kingdom to make it one''s own. Although the compatibility would not be great, it would save a great deal of time and resources.


    "Directly refining a Divine Kingdom is much simpler than creating one." Zhao Feng began to think.


    He had many high-quality God Crystals, so perhaps he could just buy a Divine Kingdom.


    But finding a Divine Kingdom suitable for himself was far too difficult.


    "Mm? Does the Ancient Dream Realm count as a Divine Kingdom?" Zhao Feng suddenly recalled that his God''s Spiritual Eye contained a special dimension.


    The Ancient Dream Realm was connected to the Dream God Eye, so there was no questioning its compatibility. Moreover, the Ancient Dream Realm was constructed differently from other dimensions and was extremely similar to the structure of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Moreover, Zhao Feng had entered the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, and the Ancient Dream Realm was apparently much stronger than the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom.


    "Let''s try!" Zhao Feng became rather excited at the idea and decided to try.


    If he really could refine the Ancient Dream Realm into his Divine Kingdom, this would be a Divine Kingdom that was incredibly compatible with him. He would not need to worry about his future potential and would also save massive amounts of time.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body vanished as he entered the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng entered seclusion in the territory of the Blood Flame Qilin Race.


    Bzzzz!


    His Soul Intent left his body and fused with the world.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng sensed that everything for hundreds of thousands of li around him was under his control.


    In this range, he could kill anyone he wanted with a thought.


    Bzzzz!


    His Eye Intent surged, fusing with his Soul Intent and forming into a massive silver eye.


    The sense that he controlled everything intensified, and the range under his control increased by more than ten times.


    "It should be possible!" Zhao Feng had a very strong feeling.

 1468 The Burning Heaven Sea

    Chapter 1468 - The Burning Heaven Sea


    "It should be possible!" Zhao Feng had a very strong feeling.


    When he activated his Dream God Eye and fused with the world of the Ancient Dream Realm, he sensed that there was some sort of connection between the two.


    At this moment, he hadn''t just increased the range of his control by more than ten times, he could also sense places even farther away, though his ability to control those places was not strong.


    "If I want to refine the Ancient Dream Realm, it should be easier if I do so through the Dream God Eye," Zhao Feng determined after some thought.


    Swish!


    He rose and headed deeper into the Ancient Dream Realm. Only after he began to encounter many God Lord level ancient races did he begin to slow down.


    On his journey, he came across an icy mountain valley. The temperature rapidly dropped within the valley.


    "Human, you dare intrude upon my territory!?" A cold and sinister voice emerged out of the cold fog, a chill that seeped directly into Zhao Feng''s soul.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body immediately crackled with lightning that obliterated this Ice energy. Thwish!


    At this moment, a gray-white ghost appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    "44th of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, the Ice Soul Race." Zhao Feng recognized his ancient race with a single glance.


    The Ice Soul Race was the same kind of race as the Ancient Soul Race, one skilled in the Soul Dao. The soul bodies of this race contained Ice energy, making them skilled in both defense and offense.


    This Ice Soul Race member was a First Heaven God Lord. In terms of soul attacks, it could threaten a peak First Heaven God Lord.


    "Scram!" Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent surged, fusing with the Ancient Dream Realm.


    At this moment, this region of the world came under Zhao Feng''s control. The energy of the world bolstered Zhao Feng''s strength while the Ice Soul Race expert was strongly suppressed.


    Boom!


    A powerful Soul Intent blasted the Ice Soul Race expert out of the valley.


    "This is the place. I will refine the Divine Kingdom and form the core!" After making this decision, he began to release Eye Intent, which fused with his Soul Intent into an Eye of Heaven.


    Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng took the Divine Power from his God Altar, combined it with his soul energy, and this energy fused into the surrounding world.


    "So easy!" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Refining a Divine Kingdom only took a little time when compared to creating a Divine Kingdom, but just now, Zhao Feng discovered that his Divine Power and soul energy could very easily fuse with this dimension.


    "Continue!" Delighted, Zhao Feng continued the refining process.


    Although the refining process was easier than expected, the Ancient Dream Realm was far larger than typical Divine Kingdoms. He spent the following days refining the Ancient Dream Realm.


    The refining process was somewhat more demanding when it came to controlling one''s soul energy. Thus, this was also a way to temper one''s Soul Intent.


    In half a year, Zhao Feng was able to bring his Soul Intent to the peak of First Heaven. In this time, he refined one- tenth of the Ancient Dream Realm. Everything in this one-tenth was under his control.


    Zhao Wan brought his army in the Ancient Dream Realm to this place and reestablished their base.


    The region Zhao Feng had refined could be considered the center of the Ancient Dream Realm, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and resources here were all much more plentiful. Thus, Zhao Feng planned to construct the core of the Divine Kingdom here.


    Two years later, half of the Ancient Dream Realm had been refined.


    One day, Zhao Feng decided to rest for a while. Constantly using soul energy to refine the Ancient Dream Realm had an immense effect on one''s mind.


    Since he stopped refining for the moment, Zhao Feng decided to search for treasure in the area he had refined. He took possession of legacies of various sizes.


    There was basically nothing in these legacies that Zhao Feng required, but they could be given to hone and strengthen his army in the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng also began to partition areas so that he could start growing resources.


    After a few days, Zhao Feng left the Ancient Dream Realm and returned to the Spiritual Race.


    "What happened?" Scanning the area with his Divine Sense, Zhao Feng discovered that there were far fewer Spiritual Race core disciples than usual. The mood in the Spiritual Race was also a little strange.


    Zhao Feng went to the forbidden ground to find the Second Elder.


    "The news of your return to the Spiritual Race has probably gotten out...." The Second Elder sighed.


    Somehow, some intelligence organizations managed to find out that Zhao Feng had returned to the Spiritual Race. Many factions of the Ziling Zone and the surrounding zones had begun to keep an eye on the Spiritual Race, both openly and secretly.


    They wouldn''t openly attack the Spiritual Race, but they would secretly engage in small actions. For example, they might attack Spiritual Race disciples who went outside in order to obtain information on Zhao Feng.


    There were even a few experts recently who had tried to infiltrate the Spiritual Race. The Spiritual Race found many of them, but some of them might have managed to get in.


    Zhao Feng fell silent, his expression gloomy. If this continued, the Spiritual Race would be worn away and weakened, and once it reached a certain point, a major incident might occur.


    The Spiritual Race had just been through a war and had only just managed to recover and start to develop again. But now, if this continued, even if other factions didn''t do anything, the Blazing Gold Race would.


    "Second Elder, in a little while, I will be going out to hone myself," Zhao Feng firmly said.


    "Zhao Feng, absolutely not! Leaving the Spiritual Race is too dangerous!" The Second Elder grimaced.


    Zhao Feng was a member of the Spiritual Race and also the holder of the Ninth God Eye. If he was allowed to mature, he would become a God King. With Zhao Yufei''s connection to Zhao Feng, even if the Spiritual Race could not become a Sacred Land, it would still reap an enormous harvest. Thus, the Spiritual Race''s stance was to protect Zhao Feng.


    But the Spiritual Race did not have the ability to protect Zhao Feng. The Second Elder could see that Zhao Feng made this decision because he did not want to burden the Spiritual Race.


    "Every expert must walk a path covered in thorns and drenched in blood!" Zhao Feng coldly said.


    He could not remain in the Spiritual Race forever. Besides, a true expert did not forge a path through seclusion, but through killing and death!


    Outside, there were countless people who wanted to take his Ninth God Eye. Zhao Feng would not be polite. Those people who wanted to take his God Eye would become the stepping stones that he would use to get stronger.


    "And also, I have to go look for my little thieving cat." Zhao Feng appeared somewhat helpless.


    When his God Eye awakened and he fell asleep, he used the Thought Teleportation ability to return to the Continent Zone, but he lost the little thieving cat on the way.


    The little thieving cat was a Heaven''s Legacy Cat, and if someone who knew the secret of the Heaven''s Legacy Cat discovered it, it would be in danger.


    Of course, Zhao Feng believed that the thieving cat was having a much better time than he was.


    Very well. Be careful!" The Second Elder found it impossible to refute Zhao Feng''s words, and he rather admired Zhao Feng''s attitude.


    Zhao Feng returned to his residence and tidied things up a little before secretly leaving the Spiritual Race.


    At Zhao Feng''s level, only a Second Heaven God Lord skilled in the Soul Dao or Space Dao would be able to track him down, and it was obvious that a Second Heaven God Lord would not personally be hiding near the Spiritual Race to oversee things. Thus, Zhao Feng smoothly departed the Spiritual Race without anyone knowing otherwise.


    Half a month after he left, the Second Elder revealed that Zhao Feng had already left.


    Of course, Zhao Feng desired this. Once this news spread, those targeting the Spiritual Race decreased in number.


    Three months later, Zhao Yufei emerged from her seclusion. Upon learning that Zhao Feng had already left, she decided to go out and train herself. The Second Elder did his utmost to persuade her otherwise, but to no avail.


    This was because Zhao Yufei promised that she was not going out to search for Zhao Feng, but to hone herself.


    Three years went by after Zhao Feng''s departure. There was constant news about Zhao Feng appearing in this or that place, but no one knew if these reports were real or fabricated.


    In the Tianhe Zone, in an extremely dangerous forbidden ground known as the Burning Heaven Sea, all one could see between the heavens and earth were golden-red flames. The entire world seemed to be on fire. Any outside object that went in would be assailed by endless flame.


    It was rumored that a Second Heaven God Lord had entered the Burning Heaven Sea once and was attacked by a God Lord level Yao God. Although they ultimately succeeded in killing that Yao God, they ended up being completely invaded by the flames. Unable to put out these inextinguishable flames, that God Lord ended up becoming a part of the Burning Heaven Sea.


    One day, a silver-haired youth was walking through the Burning Heaven Sea, a calm expression on his face. This person was none other than Zhao Feng.


    After leaving the Spiritual Race, he went to God Lord level forbidden grounds of the various major zones. These forbidden grounds were devoid of people, so he was not likely to be discovered. Zhao Feng could also hone himself in these places.


    In these last three years, he had gone to five such forbidden grounds. There was one forbidden ground called the Blood Soul Hell that was the most dangerous. Zhao Feng knew little about it and barged all the way into its center, where he was attacked by an endless flood of frenzied Blood Gods. There was even a Third Heaven Blood God that forced Zhao Feng into using powerful techniques so that he could retreat.


    After that experience, Zhao Feng put away his pride. The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was simply immense, and there were many forbidden lands where not even God Kings dared to venture.


    Kaboom!


    Zhao Feng slowly proceeded through the sea of golden-red flames. He didn''t focus on refining his body, so the Burning Heaven Sea had a rather large effect on him.


    "These flames are rather special!" As he experienced these flames, he couldn''t help but ponder their nature.


    These flames were extremely powerful, but they also felt slightly familiar.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, powerful and searing ripples of energy came from the distance. The flames surged, and then a golden bird of fire attacked.


    Those beings that lived in the Burning Heaven Sea were unquestionably able to exert immense power. The flames seemed to multiply in ferocity, exerting even greater pressure on Zhao Feng.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" Zhao Feng formed a broad silver sword in his hand and attacked.


    His goal was to temper his body, so at times like these, Zhao Feng would place a limit on himself so that he could maximize the effect of his training.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng slashed his powerful Chaos Origin Divine Sword at the golden bird.


    The fire bird was at First Heaven, and it was extremely strong within the Burning Heaven Sea, but merely with the Chaos Origin Divine Sword, Zhao Feng had an overwhelming advantage. This was the result of his training over these last few years.


    "Mm?" Zhao Feng suddenly noticed something strange.


    A disorderly stream of Chaos Origin energy suddenly surrounded his body, concealing his appearance.


    A red figure suddenly appeared in the flames to his right.


    "Die!" The red figure rushed up to Zhao Feng and threw forward a massive palm of flames. Even the fire bird that was fighting with Zhao Feng took fright and fled.


    "Has someone managed to track me down?" Zhao Feng''s eyes sank.


    This was logically impossible. He had not encountered anything like this before, but now, in the heart of the Burning Heaven Sea, he was ambushed by a God Lord.

 1469 Vermillion Bird Pavilion

    Chapter 1469 - Vermillion Bird Pavilion


    "Has someone managed to track me down?" Zhao Feng''s eyes dimmed.


    This was logically impossible. He had not noticed anything strange before entering the Burning Heaven Sea, but now that he was training in the center of the Burning Heaven Sea, he was ambushed by a God Lord.


    Moreover, his attacker had a strength that could not be underestimated and was even skilled in a Law of Fire. In the environment of the Burning Heaven Sea, this God Lord wielded unprecedented power.


    "Die!" A red-haired elder emerged from the red light, his eyes vicious.


    Kabooom!


    His palms fired off one blazing palm after another, which mobilized the endless flames of the Burning Heaven Sea. At a glance, it appeared like several massive burning mountains were coming toward him.


    Zhao Feng gripped his Chaos Origin Divine Sword and quickly activated his Chaos Heaven Void Ring.


    Swish! Boom! Boom!


    He swung his Chaos Origin Divine Sword at the palms of flame. As for those attacks that he could not respond to in time, he had the Chaos Heaven Void Ring absorb them.


    In this dangerous forbidden ground where the surrounding environment was packed with powerful energy, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring could constantly absorb the energy and empower itself.


    Whoosh!


    After fending off the first wave of attacks from the red-haired elder, Zhao Feng tried to pull away from the elder.


    "We''ve never met before. Might Sir have mistaken me for someone else?" Zhao Feng looked at this foe and calmly asked.


    He sensed that this red-haired elder purely wanted to kill him, not seize the Ninth God Eye.


    "Whether or not I know you, it doesn''t matter!" The red-haired elder grunted before charging forward again.


    Swish!


    A long saber of fiery clouds appeared in his hand, gleaming with searing light.


    In the previous clash, the red-haired elder sensed Zhao Feng''s true level of strength. Understanding that this opponent was harder to deal with than he first imagined, he took out his supreme-quality divine artifact.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    The saber fired off blazing beams of light, rivers of flame that surged through the world.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted.


    From the response just now, he realized that this red-haired elder had not come for the Ninth God Eye. He might have other reasons for wanting to kill him, or perhaps he just liked killing people. But since the elder wanted to kill him, Zhao Feng didn''t need to keep wasting time on conversation.


    "Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!" The broad Chaos Origin sword in his hand immediately began to crackle with Tribulation Lightning energy. In a flash, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword was completely covered in lightning, turning it into a Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Boom!


    With one slash, the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword cleaved through the sea of fire.


    "Eh?" The red-haired elder was alarmed. The Divine Power that Zhao Feng used just now was extremely unusual.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The bolt of energy from the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword struck one of the flame blades and immediately cut it in two. Moreover, while consuming energy, the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning bolt was also absorbing energy to strengthen itself.


    Clingclang!


    The red-haired elder waved his fire cloud saber, shattering Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "This person..." The red-haired elder became pensive.


    At this moment, a powerful energy appeared behind Zhao Feng.


    "Someone from the Swift Wind Gate!? Retreat!" The red-haired elder grimaced and immediately fled.


    Not long after, an azure-robed middle-aged man arrived.


    "If Good Sir was able to defeat the Vermillion Bird Pavilion''s Crimson Elder, you must assuredly possess extraordinary strength. Of which faction is Good Sir a God Lord of? Perhaps this one has heard of your renown!" The azure-robed man smiled, exuding a refreshing aura in the middle of the Burning Heaven Sea.


    This one is Zhao Wang, a newly-advanced God Lord who happened to be passing through this place. For some reason, I was suddenly attacked by the Crimson Elder of the Vermillion Bird Pavilion." Zhao Feng did not state his real name, instead using his clone''s as he probed for information. He wanted to know the situation after this Crimson Elder suddenly left.


    "The people of the Vermillion Bird Pavilion have an extremely violent nature, and they enjoy killing people and stealing their treasures. If Good Sir does not mind, you can pay a visit to our Swift Wind Gate." The azure-robed man smiled as he issued an invitation to Zhao Feng.


    "I must refuse. I''m only passing through and don''t plan to stay for long." Zhao Feng refused.


    Even before the man had arrived, Zhao Feng''s Dream God Eye noticed him. At that time, the eyes of this azure-robed man were ruthless and tinged with killing intent, but later on, the man noticed that Zhao Feng was battling with the Crimson Elder, so he changed his expression.


    Zhao Feng had only ever heard the names of Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate, but he understood little about them.


    "Since that is the case, I will bid farewell. However, Good Sir is already nearing the central region of the Burning Heaven Sea. If you continue any deeper, not even a First Heaven God Lord will be able to endure the flames!" The man displayed a warmhearted expression by warning Zhao Feng.


    "Goodbye." With this nonchalant farewell, Zhao Feng slowly drew away from the man.


    This time, he did not continue any deeper into the Burning Heaven Sea, instead choosing to remain on the outskirts and observe the situation.


    "Is there something strange in this place?" Zhao Feng was rather confused.


    Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate were five-star factions of the Tianhe Zone, but why would the God Lord experts of these five-star factions gather in the Burning Heaven Sea?


    Upon careful observation, he was able to sense many weak Divine Power auras within the Burning Heaven Sea. It was obvious that there had been quite a few people in the Burning Heaven Sea as of late.


    As a forbidden ground, this place should have been nearly deserted. The more dangerous a forbidden ground, the more of a rarity it was to see anyone else. Thus, there was definitely something strange going on here.


    At a certain place in the center of the Burning Heaven Sea, the azure-robed middle-aged man stopped, upon which a spatial tunnel appeared in front of him.


    Whoosh!


    He entered the tunnel, upon which it immediately closed. He rapidly flew, quickly entering a palace made of white crystal.


    Bzzzz!


    There was a throne of azure jade set up in the hall. Suddenly, a dazzling white figure appeared on this throne. One could vaguely see a timeworn elder wearing a blue robe within this light, his body exuding a despotic majesty that filled the palace.


    "What''s the situation?" the blue-robed elder casually asked.


    "It wasn''t someone from Vermillion Bird Pavilion," the middle-aged man calmly replied.


    You didn''t eliminate or drive him away?" the blue-robed elder casually asked.


    It was best if outsiders did not know of their objective. Those who knew would either have to temporarily join Swift Wind Gate or else become Swift Wind Gate''s enemy.


    This person might be even stronger than Vermillion Bird Pavilion''s Crimson Elder. Although I gave him an invitation, he did not accept." The middle-aged man''s eyes dimmed.


    The man proceeded to describe in detail what had occurred.


    "Keep an eye on him. Vermillion Bird Pavilion definitely takes this person to be a member of our Swift Wind Gate. Once that person is in danger, assist him and do your best to recruit him. If he insists on leaving, then forget it...." The blue- robed elder''s eyes flashed.


    Yes, Gate Master. If he is willing to help us, our chances of obtaining that item will increase!" the azure-robed man sternly said.


    For the next few days, Zhao Feng continued to wander around the Burning Heaven Sea, but he did not venture into the center of the Burning Heaven Sea, at most wandering around the region near the center. During this period, he was both training himself and investigating the oddities of this place.


    "I''m being followed by Swift Wind Gate." Zhao Feng had long ago discovered that people were following him. Although they possessed extremely high-level concealment skills, they could not escape Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    But as they had not displayed any obvious hostility yet, Zhao Feng had no plans to attack them.


    Suddenly, an oppressive energy exploded out of the sea of fire.


    "Oh no!" Zhao Feng sensed intense hostility.


    But the azure-robed middle-aged man hiding far behind him was delighted. "Vermillion Bird Pavilion still couldn''t hold itself back. Haha, if this person is willing to join our Swift Wind Gate, then I will truly have to thank Vermillion Bird Pavilion!"


    The azure-robed man continued to remain in hiding for the moment.


    Boom!


    An old man with rough and dark yellow skin, thick brows, and large eyes, and dressed in a yellow robe, charged out of the sea of fire.


    "Die!" The moment this elder appeared, he exuded formidable Divine Power. Dark yellow and heavy energy appeared that caused Zhao Feng''s body to pause.


    "Second Heaven!?" Shock appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    He had predicted that this newcomer was from the Vermillion Bird Pavilion, but he hadn''t expected for it to send a Second Heaven God Lord.


    Boom!


    Immense surges of Divine Power gathered above Zhao Feng''s head into a massive mountain. The searing of the boundless flames made this enormous mountain show a hint of dark red, increasing the pressure it exuded.


    At this moment:


    Thwish!


    The azure-robed middle-aged man flew out.


    "Friend, you''ve been targeted by Vermillion Bird Pavilion. This person is the Second Heaven God Lord Vastsoul! Let''s withdraw!" The azure-robed man rapidly approached Zhao Feng, acting like a bystander who had come to help out.


    Zhao Feng was powerful and had his own tricks up his sleeve. Even if they couldn''t beat a Second Heaven God Lord, the two of them working together were wholly capable of retreating with their lives. Moreover, he could use this chance to recruit Zhao Feng and add another powerful force to the ranks of the Swift Wind Gate.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two of them worked together to pulverize the massive mountain in the sky.


    "So it really was the Swift Wind Gate! No matter what sort of scheme you have, this old man will make sure you don''t leave!" God Lord Vastsoul sneered as he charged forward, his body shrouded in astonishing energy.


    "Retreat!" The azure-robed man ignored God Lord Vastsoul. As long as he could take Zhao Feng back with him to Swift Wind Gate, it would still be considered a kind of victory.


    But at this moment, the distant sea of fire exploded.


    "Die!" A red-haired elder suddenly appeared. This was none other than the person who had ambushed Zhao Feng before - the Crimson Elder.


    "Not good, there''s another one!" The azure-robed man grimaced. He hadn''t expected for the Vermillion Bird Pavilion to send not just a Second Heaven God Lord, but even conceal the Crimson Elder nearby.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Violent waves of Divine Power surged toward Zhao Feng and the azure-robed man.


    The Crimson Elder and a Second Heaven God Lord! If we stay, we''ll probably die here! The middle-aged man''s mind was whirring.


    A few moments later, he made his decision.


    "You hold the rear! I''ll go back and get reinforcements!" After saying this, the azure-robed man began to bum his Divine Power and circulate the power of his Wind Law. Azure winds began to circle around his body. Gradually, his entire being fused with this wind.


    Thwish!


    The azure-robed man transformed into faint azure light that sped off with explosive speed. Unless they were skilled in speed, not even Second Heaven God Lords would be able to catch up.


    "Ha, there was nothing I could do"After fleeing some distance, the azure-robed man sighed.


    Although he could not recruit Zhao Feng, he ended up framing him. Zhao Feng was facing God Lord Vastsoul and the Crimson Elder alone, assuring his doom. If he could not become an ally of the Swift Wind Gate, having him killed by the Vermillion Bird Pavilion was fine as well.


    "Kid, die!" God Lord Vastsoul brought his palms together, creating dark yellow walls of earth to Zhao Feng''s left and


    Boom!


    The walls suddenly closed in, exuding immense pressure as they did, seemingly attempting to crush Zhao Feng into pulp.


    "Chaos Heaven Black Hole!" Zhao Feng immediately mobilized a vast amount of Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    The ring around him began to darken in color, turning black and beginning to exude an even more powerful distorting and devouring power.


    Boom! Bang!


    The dark yellow walls slammed together. The shockwave caused vast waves of flame to surge across the sea of fire. Suddenly, the center of the explosion began to emit a powerful suction.


    Boom! Swoosh!


    The power of the explosions and the Fire energy began to converge on the center.


    "It seems like I''ll have to use all my power!" Zhao Feng''s eyes darkened.


    After his training, even without using his God Eye, he could still contend against a Second Heaven God Lord.


    As the dust settled, a pitch-black sphere appeared where the explosion had occurred, exuding profound chaotic energy.


    "Eh?" God Lord Vastsoul was taken aback.


    He believed that, even if Zhao Feng wasn''t killed by this strike, he would at least be heavily injured, but this result was completely unexpected.

 1470 A Fragment of Blazing Hell

    Chapter 1470 - A Fragment of Blazing Hell "Eh?" God Lord Vastsoul was taken aback.


    He believed that, even if Zhao Feng wasn''t killed by this strike, he would at least be heavily injured, but this result was completely unexpected.


    "This kid was hiding his strength!" The Crimson Elder''s face turned stern.


    Zhao Feng was now stronger than he was in their previous clash. Perhaps this was precisely the reason that Swift Wind Gate God Lord told Zhao Feng to hold the rear.


    "Hmph, we have to use this chance to kill him!" God Lord Vastsoul angrily snorted.


    The stronger Zhao Feng was, the greater the threat he posed to them. This was the ideal opportunity. Before the members of Swift Wind Gate arrived, they had to kill him.


    "Seal the Heavens, Harden the Earth!" God Lord Vastsoul spread out his arms, unleashing vast and weighty Divine Power. The world darkened as immense pressure weighed down.


    God Lord Vastsoul possessed a Law of Earth. Not only was he not affected by the Burning Heaven Sea, he was actually a little stronger than normal. The scorching flames also inflamed the Earth energy in the world. In addition, this heavy earth domain was constantly contracting, increasing the pressure within.


    "Chaos Heaven Black Hole, devour!" Zhao Feng fully activated the devouring energy of the Chaos Heaven Black Hole.


    In a flash, the pressure around him instantly lightened. Meanwhile, the Chaos Heaven Black Hole became even stronger from absorbing this power.


    "This kid''s defensive skill can actually absorb other energies!? Hurry and strike!" God Lord Vastsoul cried out in alarm.


    His right hand shot forward, balled up in a fist. Within the Law Domain, a giant hand of rock formed in front of Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    The giant rock hand hurtled toward Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Swish! Swish!


    The Crimson Elder immediately waved his saber, sending out dreadful waves of flame.


    "It''s no good.... The two of them working together are rather hard to deal with!" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    God Lord Vastsoul and the Crimson Elder had rather powerful attacks. The Chaos Heaven Black Hole would not be able to last for long. And since he was deep within the Law Domain of a Second Heaven God Lord, his speed was limited. Thus, unless Zhao Feng used his God Eye''s power or the Ancestral Artifact fragment, he would find it very difficult to escape.


    But once he used these two things, it would send these two God Lords into a frenzy, perhaps even mobilizing the Vermillion Bird Pavilion behind them.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Zhao Feng swung his Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword, doing his utmost to weaken the oncoming attacks.


    I can only use my God Eye''s power! Zhao Feng''s eyes dimmed. As long as he didn''t make it too obvious, these people would find it very hard to detect the Ninth God Eye.


    But at this moment, a relaxed and casual voice rang out over the battlefield; "Good Sir, do you need help?"


    "There''s someone else?" Zhao Feng was rather surprised. Not even he had noticed this newcomer until now.


    Of course, this was partially because he had sealed his Dream God Eye''s power and was in the middle of a pitched battle.


    "It''s you...!" God Lord Vastsoul turned to look and immediately paled.


    Zhao Feng turned to look and saw a white-robed youth with a semitransparent body and a weak aura. He was holding a white fan and standing crookedly in the air, a smile in his bright eyes.


    "Tang Bai, I advise you not to interfere in this matter!" God Lord Vastsoul was angered and threateningly spoke.


    "And what happens if I do interfere? If he''s willing to join my team, he''ll be on my side!" Tang Bai rolled his eyes, and then he smiled at Zhao Feng: "What do you think? Join my team and I''ll help you out against these two old fogeys!"


    Zhao Feng was startled. Although Tang Bai was availing himself of this opportunity to threaten him, neither his attitude nor his tone was of someone who was threatening another. Tang Bai gave off a much better impression than Vermillion Bird Pavilion or Swift Wind Gate.


    In addition, although this person was not that old, he was astonishingly a peak First Heaven. Moreover, Tang Bai was not afraid of a Second Heaven God Lord, nor did he fear the Vermillion Bird Pavilion backing God Lord Vastsoul and the Crimson Elder. This was proof that he did not have a simple background.


    "Tang Bai, don''t think that we won''t kill you!" God Lord Vastsoul went red at the ears as he bellowed.


    For Tang Bai to try and recruit another God Lord right in front of their faces was nothing more than a brazen challenge.


    But to his surprise, Zhao Feng didn''t immediately agree.


    Yet another person.... Zhao Feng was rather troubled.


    Neither Vermillion Bird Pavilion nor Swift Wind Gate had left a good impression on him. Besides that, he did not want to join any of these factions or Tang Bai''s team either way. If he got too close to outsiders, there was a greater chance that his identity as the Ninth God Eye would be exposed.


    However, if he used the Ninth God Eye or the Ancestral Artifact fragment at a time like this, these two parties would certainly be able to draw the right conclusions. In addition, although Tang Bai was a peak First Heaven, his strength was not to be underestimated. Zhao Feng sensed that he might even be stronger than God Lord Vastsoul. The three of them working together would be even harder to deal with.


    "If you join my team, I will not restrict you in any way. All you have to do is join me in a war. In addition, I can also provide you with a powerful secret art that conceals your God Lord energy and identity," Tang Bai unhurriedly said.


    Zhao Feng had been using a protective layer to conceal his appearance this entire time. This told Tang Bai that Zhao Feng did not want others to know his identity. Thus, he offered something that Zhao Feng had a dire need for.


    "If it''s just one war, then I accept your invitation," Zhao Feng said after a few moments of thought.


    Tang Bai had left a much better impression on Zhao Feng than those other two factions, and Tang Bai apparently only had a small team on his side. In addition, Tang Bai had also promised that he would not restrict Zhao Feng''s movements.


    Had not Zhao Feng gone off on this journey precisely to temper himself? The battlefield was an excellent place for precisely such a thing.


    And with Tang Bai''s peak First Heaven cultivation, by following him into battle, he probably wouldn''t run into anything that was particularly dangerous.


    Finally, Tang Bai could even provide him a secret that he dearly needed.


    "Deal!" Tang Bai smiled and immediately flew forward.


    "No! You...!" God Lord Vastsoul instantly panicked. He had only just sent word for reinforcements, so they probably wouldn''t come in time.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Tang Bai waved his white fan, sending a white wave of energy into the Law Domain around Zhao Feng. This Law Domain instantly began to weaken as if it had run into its direct counter.


    Fwooosh!


    At the same time, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Heaven Black Hole erupted with power, sending out distorting and devouring energy and destroying the Earth Law Domain.


    "Just now... that was Sealing energy!" Zhao Feng looked at Tang Bai, even more confident in that secret art he had offered.


    Thwish!


    After escaping the restriction, Zhao Feng charged at God Lord Vastsoul and the Crimson Elder. These people wanted to kill him, so Zhao Feng would naturally not show any mercy.


    You injured one of my members, so don''t blame me!" At this moment, Tang Bai smiled and charged at God Lord Vastsoul.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng wildly swung his Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword, sending a dark bolt of lightning energy shooting forward.


    "Seal!" Tang Bai stretched out a hand, unleashing a ring of strange white light that swept over the area. God Lord Vastsoul and the Crimson Elder immediately felt a part of their strength being sealed, and even their speed was affected.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng attacked the Crimson Elder, his Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword increasing in power. God Lord Vastsoul was a Second Heaven skilled in the Earth Law and in defensive techniques, making him a more difficult target. Thus, he attacked the Crimson Elder first.


    "God Lord Vastsoul, save me!" The Crimson Elder immediately called out to God Lord Vastsoul for help.


    Tang Bai''s Sealing energy meant that the Crimson Elder could only use around seventy percent of his strength.


    At this moment, the energy of a Time Law enveloped the Crimson Elder. With part of his strength sealed, the Crimson Elder was less capable of resisting the Time Law.


    "A Time Law? It seems like I''ve found someone rather good this time!" Tang Bai rejoiced. He had never before seen a First Heaven God Lord with a Time Law.


    Of course, there was probably such an existence in the legendary Light Race.


    Swoosh! Swish!


    Several waves of Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning energy slashed at the Crimson Elder''s body. These attacks not only absorbed his energy but were also difficult to heal from.


    "Stop!" God Lord Vastsoul gathered Divine Power into a dark yellow dragon that howled forward.


    "Just sit patiently over there!" Tang Bai waved his fan, sending cascades of white energy at the yellow dragon that constantly sealed its power.


    Boom! Bang!


    In the end, Tang Bai shattered the attack with a single palm.


    On the other side, Zhao Feng stabbed through the Crimson Elder''s chest, allowing Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning power to run rampant within the Crimson Elder''s body.


    Whoosh!


    The Crimson Elder''s body was swiftly burned to ash by the flames of the Burning Heaven Sea.


    Boomboomboom!


    A powerful ripple of energy came from the distance, and one could vaguely make out the shape of a warship on the horizon.


    "It''s time to leave!" Tang Bai called out, and then he left with Zhao Feng.


    Not long after the pair left, a warship wreathed in scarlet flames and exuding a tyrannical aura descended. A red-robed woman charged out from the prow of the ship. "God Lord Vastsoul, what happened?"


    "Tang Bai joined together with another God Lord and killed the Crimson Elder!" God Lord Vastsoul clenched his fists in rage.


    "Damn, this Tang Bai, if not for his master.... Let''s go back first!" The red-robed woman''s expression turned gloomy. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng followed Tang Bai to a place elsewhere in the Burning Heaven Sea.


    Bzzzz!


    A dark blue path formed, and the pair entered. Within the Divine Kingdom was a beautiful landscape, and one could see a boundless sea in the distance.


    Upon scanning with his Divine Sense, Zhao Feng discovered that there were quite a few people in this Divine Kingdom, along with two God Lords and eight half-step God Lords!


    "Relax. This isn''t our full force." Tang Bai smiled.


    He then gathered all the members within the Divine Kingdom in a large hall.


    "A new member - God Lord Zhao Wang!" Tang Bai introduced to everyone.


    Tang Bai proceeded to introduce everyone else to Zhao Feng.


    The majority of these people did not belong to any factions, and one of the two God Lords was even from a zone neighboring the Tianhe Zone.


    "Since you''ve agreed to join my team, I should tell you what our goal is." Tang Bai''s expression calmed down.


    "Normally, a dangerous forbidden ground like the Burning Heaven Sea would never be the gathering place of so many people. All this is because, one month ago, a God Lord of the Vermillion Bird Pavilion discovered signs of an Ancestral Artifact fragment in the Burning Heaven Sea!" a black-armored and burly man explained.


    Ancestral Artifact fragment!? Zhao Feng couldn''t help but be stunned. He never would''ve expected the Burning Heaven Sea to be home to such a treasure.


    Of course, the majority of forbidden grounds had precious plants that were extinct in the outside world or long-lost treasures. This was also why there was a constant stream of people who ventured into these dangerous places.


    "Based on our intelligence reports, it should be a fragment of the Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell," Tang Bai added.

 1471 Combined Attack

    After ten whole days, Zhao Feng was finally able to fully digest this information. This secret art was called the Heavenly Closure Sealing Art, and it was a top-class divine-level technique. When used, this technique completely concealed the energy of one''s soul and divine body. It could even seal the energy ripples of powerful treasures.


    "As expected of the God Sealing Race, this is an incredibly profound sealing art!" Zhao Feng was pleasantly surprised. This Heavenly Closure Sealing Art could not only conceal his energy, it could also seal his Dream God Eye.


    For the following period of time, Zhao Feng paused his refinement of the Ancient Dream Realm and focused on cultivating the Heavenly Closure Sealing Art.


    A year quickly passed within the Spacetime Robe, which was only around three days in the outside world.


    "Heavenly Closure Seal!" Zhao Feng''s hands formed a spell, and crystalline rings of white light emerged and began to circle around him. Gradually, these white rings constricted, merging with Zhao Feng''s soul and divine body.


    The Black Destruction Dragon was watching from the side. It realized that Zhao Feng''s aura was getting weaker and weaker, so weak that, if it wasn''t looking right at Zhao Feng, it would fail to notice that anyone was even there.


    "Great! I can use its basic form now!" At this time, Zhao Feng was able to perfectly seal his energy.


    This was primarily for hiding from others while out of combat. Once he did attack, it would naturally be impossible to conceal his energy.


    Zhao Feng continued to cultivate the technique, applying stronger and stronger versions of it.


    One day, Zhao Feng used the Heavenly Closure Sealing Art on his left eye.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Within the God Eye Dimension, a white ring began to circle around the dreamy silver ball and slowly contract. The Origin energy exuded by the silver ball was sealed within by this white ring of light.


    Zhao Feng sensed that the abilities of his left eye had somewhat decreased. But this made him rejoice. Ever since his God Eye awakened, sealing it had become extremely difficult. The secret art Tang Bai had given him, however, proved effective. It would now be much more difficult for others to detect that he was the Ninth God Eye.


    One day, a scout returned to the Divine Kingdom.


    "Sir Tang Bai, it''s bad! God Lord Crazysword is being pursued by the experts of Vermillion Bird Pavilion!" The half-step God Lord went to Tang Bai''s residence and reported.


    "Move out!" Tang Bai immediately rushed out, his call echoing throughout the Divine Kingdom.


    God Lord Crazysword was a peak First Heaven and an expert of the Sword Dao. He was the second strongest member in Tang Bai''s team.


    Not even the Second Heaven God Lord Vastsoul was capable of pushing God Lord Crazysword into desperate straits, but now, God Lord Crazysword was asking for help. Thus, Tang Bai gathered up all his members without hesitation.


    "Our ability to seize the Ancestral Artifact fragment is on the line here. If you don''t want to go, I won''t force you," Tang Bai looked at Zhao Feng and the others and calmly said.


    He had recruited Zhao Feng saying that he only needed Zhao Feng to join him for a major battle. It was obvious that he had recruited others with similar words. However, the battle Tang Bai referred to was over the Ancestral Artifact fragment, not this one.


    "God Lord Crazysword is a powerful God Lord that our team can''t go without!" The black-armored man erupted with fighting intent.


    "This Vermillion Bird Paxdlion thinks that we''re easy to bully around? Let''s give them a taste of pain!" The violet-robed old woman turned grim and began to emit dangerous soul energy.


    Zhao Feng also agreed. He would not refuse battles as long as they weren''t too dangerous.


    Swish! Swish!


    Tang Bai led his team out of the Divine Kingdom to reinforce God Lord Crazysword.


    The members below the God Lord level all traveled on a medium-sized warship. This warship was built to withstand fire, and it contained many arrays that half-step God Lords could use together to unleash God Lord level attacks.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Heaven-shaking booms were coming from the distance, sending vast waves of flame at the group.


    With his left eye, Zhao Feng was able to peer through the waves, and he spotted a domineering man wielding a golden sword. There was no doubt that this was God Lord Crazysword.


    Thwish!


    God Lord Crazysword was surrounded by countless golden beams of sword qi that rapidly crisscrossed through the


    Behind him were four people, all of them God Lords from Vermillion Bird Pavilion. Besides God Lord Vastsoul, there was a fiery-robed elder who was also a Second Heaven God Lord. The other two were at First Heaven.


    If God Lord Crazysword was not incredibly fast and extremely skilled in escape techniques, he would have already died to these foes.


    "God Lord Crazysword!" Tang Bai called out as he approached God Lord Crazysword.


    Zhao Feng and the others soon arrived as well.


    At this time, God Lord Crazysword stopped, and the Vermillion Bird Pavilion God Lords also began to slow down.


    "What''s going on? Why is Vermillion Bird Pavilion sending such a large force against God Lord Crazysword?!" Tang Bai was rather astonished.


    The fiery-robed elder was none other than the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master!


    "Hmph, Tang Bai, take your people and leave this place, or else I won''t be polite!" The fiery-robed elder looked down on the group, exuding a scorching pressure.


    You think we''re afraid of you?" Tang Bai turned serious.


    Although they didn''t have any Second Heaven God Lords, Tang Bai, God Lord Crazysword, and the violet-robed old woman were all extremely powerful peak First Heaven God Lords. Tang Bai''s strength was unfathomable while God Lord Crazysword was also immensely powerful. In addition, Tang Bai''s side had one more God Lord than Vermillion Bird Pavilion.


    At this moment, the half-step God Lords of Tang Bai''s team arrived.


    "Strike!" the fiery-robed elder coldly bellowed.


    Tang Bai''s team members were all startled. The two sides were clearly of comparable strength, and Tang Bai''s forces were even a little stronger, but the Vermillion Bird Pavilion forces called out to attack without hesitation. Was Vermillion Bird Pavilion not afraid that fighting to the limit with Tang Bai''s team would give Swift Wind Gate an advantage?


    At this moment, Zhao Feng, Tang Bai, and the violet-robed woman grimaced.


    Brrrooom!


    In the distance, waves of fire roiled as a powerful Divine Power aura approached.


    In a flash, five more people appeared. Their leader was a blue-robed elder circled by white wind, his aura dreadful to behold.


    "Swift Wind Gate!" Tang Bai called out in alarm.


    He finally understood; Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate had formed a temporary alliance to remove the threat he posed.


    "Brother Zhao, I didn''t think that you were still alive. And you even joined Tang Bai''s team.... But that was the wrong choice!" An azure-robed man in Swift Wind Gate team wickedly smiled.


    This was the God Lord who had pretended to help Zhao Feng with the real intention of having Zhao Feng join Swift Wind Gate. But later on, in the face of the Crimson Elder and God Lord Vastsoul from Vermillion Bird Pavilion, he had abandoned Zhao Feng without hesitation and fled alone.

 1472 Swift Wind Gates Scheme

    Chapter 1472 - Swift Wind Gate''s Scheme


    Tang Bai never would''ve expected that Swift Wind Gate and Vermillion Bird Pavilion, two factions that got along like fire and water, would join together to deal with his team.


    "Damn, to think they would do such a thing!" God Lord Crazysword''s eyes bulged in anger, and he gnashed his teeth. Only now did he realize why the members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion had not delivered the lethal blow; they wanted to draw out all of Tang Bai''s team to finish them off in one fell swoop!


    The situation is bad." Zhao Feng slightly shook his head. The current situation was extremely disadvantageous to them.


    "You brought this on yourself!" the fiery-robed elder of Vermillion Bird Pavilion coldly said.


    If Tang Bai''s team hadn''t appeared, Swift Wind Gate and Vermillion Bird Pavilion would have started their fight for the Ancestral Artifact fragment long ago. However, these two factions had similar levels of strength, so if they fought against each other too excessively, Tang Bai''s team would be the one reaping the harvest.


    Moreover, the news on the Blazing Hell fragment was on the verge of getting out. Before this happened, the two factions decided to temporarily ally with each other to defeat Tang Bai''s team. Then they could begin their struggle over the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    "Strike! Kill everyone except Tang Bai!" Swift Wind Gate Master barked.


    Swish! Swish!


    The four God Lords who had come with him charged out.


    "All of you go as well!" the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master called out.


    God Lord Vastsoul immediately charged forward with the other two God Lords.


    "Mm? These two Second Heaven God Lords don''t plan to go themselves?" Zhao Feng glanced at the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master and Swift Wind Gate Master.


    After some thought, he understood. Although these two factions had temporarily allied, their grudges were too deep for them to completely trust each other. God Lord battles were too chaotic; if one side launched a sneak attack, the other side would be in great peril.


    In addition, not even Second Heaven God Lords dared to take the dying struggles of a God Lord too lightly. They also needed to fight for the Ancestral Artifact fragment afterward. Thus, the leaders of the two factions did not dare act recklessly.


    Besides, even if they didn''t intervene, their side still had more than enough forces to crush Tang Bai''s team. Swift Wind Gate had four God Lords - two First Heavens and two peak First Heavens. Vermillion Bird Pavilion had three God Lords. God Lord Vastsoul was a Second Heaven, and they also had the red-robed woman, who was a peak First Heaven.


    "Tang Bai, let this old man play with you!" God Lord Vastsoul loudly laughed, exuding vast pressure as he charged at Tang Bai. His mission was to suppress Tang Bai so that the others could kill off Tang Bai''s team. Once Tang Bai was alone, he would not be able to pose any threat to the two factions.


    Tang Bai was enraged, his body roiling with formidable bloodline energy.


    Bzzzz!


    His body gradually turned white and began to let off a dim glow. In addition, it exuded a strange energy that could seal all things.


    Kabooom!


    With a wave of his fan, he sent waves of white light shooting off in every direction. The energy in the areas struck by Tang Bai''s attacks instantly weakened.


    "Retreat!" Tang Bai messaged the members of his team. The other side decided not to send their two Second Heaven God Lords, so they still had a chance of surviving.


    On the other end, six God Lords attacked God Lord Crazysword, Zhao Feng, and the other two, their attacks filling the skies.


    "Die!" God Lord Crazysword was fuming, his golden sword exuding a tyrannical Sword Intent that reached to the heavens.


    Swooosh!


    Countless golden slashes howled forward, cutting numerous gaps in the raging sea of fire.


    The other members of Tang Bai''s team also took action. The black-armored man was a body-refining expert with incredible strength while the skills of the violet-robed old woman were more inclined toward the soul. Zhao Feng swung around his Chaos Origin Divine Sword, easily shattering the attacks coming down around him.


    Although they were all angry, now was not the time to fight to the death. The enemy outnumbered them and still had two Second Heaven God Lords waiting in the wings.


    All of them initiated a fighting retreat, accumulating injuries in the process.


    ¡°Pointless!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master snorted in disdain.


    When the two factions worked together, they only needed to use a portion of their strength to crush Tang Bai''s team. All he needed to do was keep an eye on Swift Wind Gate Master. He well understood his foe and knew that this was a man of many schemes.


    The chaotic God Lord battle gradually drew away from the two Second Heaven God Lords.


    "There are seven on the enemy side, with the strongest being God Lord Vastsoul. The rest aren''t worth worrying about. But the most important part is that the two Second Heaven God Lords are keeping a watch on the battlefield." Zhao Feng''s eyes dimmed as he analyzed the situation. If he displayed his power, he could reverse the battle, but once the situation was reversed, those two God Lords might intervene.


    "Forget it! Not even Second Heaven God Lords can do anything to me!" Zhao Feng''s eyes surged with killing intent.


    If he did not expose some of his strength, Tang Bai''s team had almost zero chance of winning. And there were too many taking part in this struggle for the Ancestral Artifact fragment, with other factions and even people from the Sacred Land converging on this place. Zhao Feng''s chances of obtaining the Blazing Hell fragment were very small, so it was better to just kill a few God Lords and collect the riches from their bodies.


    Moreover, if he drew away the leaders of the two five-star factions, Tang Bai''s forces would be able to escape, and Zhao Feng wouldn''t owe them anything.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Sword expanded in size and began to crackle with Tribulation Lightning energy. Thwish!


    He charged at the azure-robed man from Swift Wind Gate.


    Zhao Feng only recognized two of the enemy God Lords: the azure-robed man from Swift Wind Gate and God Lord Vastsoul from Vermillion Bird Pavilion.


    "Zhao Wang, no!" the black-armored man immediately called out. Other than God Lord Vastsoul, the opposing side still had six God Lords. Zhao Feng charging forward was simply suicidal.


    You want to kill me that badly?" The azure-robed man wickedly smiled. Wielding an azure saber, he unleashed wave after wave of azure wind sabers.


    "Seeking death!" The red-robed woman and the other God Lords immediately aimed their attacks at Zhao Feng.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng used his Time Law and Space Intent to blink around. At the same time, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring around him began to darken in color, forming into a pitch-black sphere that distorted and devoured everything around him.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Zhao Feng moved with incredible speed, dodging the majority of the attacks. The remaining attacks were blocked by the Chaos Heaven Black Hole.


    "So powerful!" The black-armored man was stunned.


    The speed Zhao Feng displayed at this moment exceeded even God Lord Crazysword''s, and Zhao Feng also had an extremely formidable defensive technique.


    "Go!" A harsh light flashed in God Lord Crazysword''s eyes, and the sword in his hand swelled in power. Sweeping the sword, he unleashed a rain of golden swords.


    The others, seeing Zhao Feng being so bold and drawing away most of the attacks, also charged forward.


    "Damn, that brat again!" God Lord Vastsoul couldn''t help but curse as he looked at Zhao Feng. In his first clash with Zhao Feng, he already realized that Zhao Feng possessed extraordinary strength.


    But in normal circumstances, their side still wouldn''t lose. Although he was no match for Tang Bai, his only mission was to hold Tang Bai down.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng gripped his sword with both hands and slashed.


    Seeing that this massive sword was about to hit him, the azure-robed man grimaced and prepared to flee. But at this moment, he realized that his thoughts and movements had all slowed to a crawl. He could not dodge this strike!


    "Kid, you''re too arrogant!"


    But the azure-robed man''s side had many God Lords. They immediately took action to block this strike for him.


    At this moment, God Lord Crazysword and the others arrived. The red-robed woman and the other God Lords immediately turned to deal with these newcomers.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng''s left eye focused on the azure-robed man.


    Thwish!


    Eye Intent pulsed, and then a miniature Chaos Origin Divine Sword exploded forward. The azure-robed man, who believed that he was free from danger, suddenly sensed that death was imminent.


    "Oh no!" The azure-robed man hurriedly used a defensive soul art. A large azure bell suddenly appeared around him. Boom! Bang!


    The Chaos Origin Divine Sword pierced straight through the azure bell.


    "Im-impossible!" The azure-robed man''s eyes bulged as his body shivered.


    Thwish!


    After piercing through the bell, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword stabbed through his soul, sending Chaos Origin energy rampaging through his body. A moment later, his soul crumbled and vanished.


    "Dead?" The red-robed woman was stunned. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng killed a First Heaven God Lord. How was this possible?


    "Okay!" The black-armored man rejoiced. Now that Zhao Feng had killed one, the pressure on their side was greatly reduced.


    "Kill!" After killing one person, Zhao Feng immediately proceeded toward another God Lord.


    He had not used the eye-bloodline techniques he was so skilled against these people before, so he was able to catch them off guard. With Zhao Feng''s peak First Heaven Soul Intent, that azure-robed man''s defensive soul technique might as well have been made of paper.


    Bzzzz!


    The power of the Time Law engulfed a First Heaven God Lord of Vermillion Bird Pavilion.


    "Oh no!" This God Lord immediately felt an ill foreboding and cried for help. But at this moment, only one God Lord could come to his aid.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng''s incredible speed allowed him to shoot past this God Lord as well as fire off several Chaos Origin Divine Sword bolts to keep him busy.


    "No...!" This Vermillion Bird Pavilion God Lord felt intense danger and burned his Divine Power. The image of a vast Divine Kingdom appeared around him.


    But no matter what he did, Zhao Feng charged forward, wildly swinging his Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword. Boom! Bang!


    The Divine Kingdom image shattered, and several indelible pitch-black wounds were left on the Vermillion Bird Pavilion God Lord''s body.


    But Zhao Feng''s attacks did not stop there. A bolt of Chaos Origin energy shot forward, mixed together with Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Vermillion Bird Pavilion God Lord was instantly slain under Zhao Feng''s flood of attacks. Another God Lord had fallen!


    God Lord Vastsoul was flabbergasted, and then he called out in shock, "How could this be? This kid seems even stronger than before!"


    "He has a Time Law! Ordinary First Heaven God Lords are powerless against him." The red-robed woman felt helpless. "Great! Brother Zhao, I really wasn''t wrong about you!" Tang Bai was ecstatic.


    God Lord Crazysword and the violet-robed old woman were also delighted. They had all regarded Zhao Feng as an ordinary God Lord, but Zhao Feng''s performance in this battle left them truly astounded. Even the number two expert of the team, God Lord Crazysword, was no match for Zhao Feng.


    In the distance, the leaders of Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate grimaced. Zhao Feng had killed a God Lord apiece from Swift Wind Gate and Vermillion Bird Pavilion.


    "To think that this person was this strong!" Swift Wind Gate Master''s gaze turned extremely gloomy. He silently cursed, That useless fool, to think that he made me lose out on such a force! Swift Wind Gate Master was naturally cursing the now-deceased azure-robed man.


    "This kid is incredibly powerful! Our side has lost the advantage!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master clenched his fists. Flames burned on his robe as he prepared to enter the battle.


    But at this moment, the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master received a message. He suddenly paled, becoming so furious that all the flames in the region began to tremble.


    "Damn... you actually dared to trick me!?" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master furiously glared at Swift Wind Gate Master.


    He just received word that the members of Swift Wind Gate had reached the center of the Burning Heaven Sea and drawn out the Ancestral Artifact fragment!


    When Swift Wind Gate had proposed this temporary alliance, he sensed that something was fishy, but since Tang Bai''s team had killed the Crimson Elder, he decided to agree. He was on guard against Swift Wind Gate Master this entire time, never expecting that Swift Wind Gate had another scheme entirely.

 1473 Fierce Struggle

    Chapter 1473 - Fierce Struggle


    The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master was on guard against the Swift Wind Gate Master this entire time, never expecting that Swift Wind Gate had another scheme entirely.


    The plan didn''t go smoothly.... The Swift Wind Gate Master hatefully glared at Zhao Feng.


    If Zhao Feng wasn''t so strong that he was able to reverse the situation for Tang Bai''s team, they would have long ago been taken care of. Once that was done, the Swift Wind Gate Master only needed to obstruct the Vermillion Bird Pavilion members to smoothly obtain the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    Such a perfect plan had been singlehandedly ruined by Zhao Feng. Not a single member of Tang Bai''s team had been killed, and Swift Wind Gate couldn''t stop these two factions alone.


    "Hmph, this old man will definitely settle accounts with you!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master angrily huffed before immediately flying off toward the center of the Burning Heaven Sea.


    He was extremely furious and wanted nothing more than to attack the Swift Wind Gate Master right now, but the Ancestral Artifact fragment was more important. Once he obtained the fragment of Blazing Hell, his strength would rise to another level and the Swift Wind Gate Master would no longer be a concern.


    Thwish!


    The Swift Wind Gate Master circulated his Wind Law, transforming into a white gust and instantly leaving the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master far behind. He even had the time to fire attacks to disrupt the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master.


    Swooosh!


    With a wave of the Swift Wind Gate Master''s hand, countless blades of white wind began to slice apart the sea of flames.


    In the distance:


    "Eh? What''s going on?" Tang Bai was startled. He had believed that the two spectating leaders would attack his team, but for some reason, they were now attacking each other.


    "It seems that we''ve narrowly escaped death this time!" God Lord Crazysword smiled.


    The conflict between the two five-star factions suddenly erupted, meaning that they would no longer be able to continue working together against Tang Bai''s team.


    "Damn, dregs of Swift Wind Gate...!" God Lord Vastsoul cursed in rage. Just now, the members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion had received a message from the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master explaining Swift Wind Gate''s plan.


    "Retreat!" the red-robed woman immediately called out.


    The members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion all retreated.


    "Let''s go as well!" The three remaining God Lords of Swift Wind Gate also departed.


    In a flash, all the enemies had retreated.


    "Come on, let''s go and see what the situation is!" Tang Bai called out.


    What sort of reason would cause the conflict between the two five-star factions to reignite? The answer was obvious: the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    "Mm! We can''t let those scoundrels off easy!" God Lord Crazysword''s eyes flashed with a cold light. Even if he couldn''t get the Ancestral Artifact fragment, he would do everything in his power to disrupt the two five-star factions. If he could kill just one God Lord, he would say the effort was worth it.


    In the center of the Burning Heaven Sea:


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Heaven-shaking explosions were occurring all around the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    The two five-star factions had joined together to deal with Tang Bai''s team, but they left behind some people to guard the center of the Burning Heaven Sea. However, the difference in strength between the forces left behind was simply immense.


    Boom! Bang!


    Two God Lords of Vermillion Bird Pavilion flew backward, leaving a trail of vomited blood in their wake. The moment the blood spurted out, it was boiled into steam by the flames of the Burning Heaven Sea.


    "Damn! To think that it would be God Lord Bloodrain!" A God Lord of Vermillion Bird Pavilion fumed.


    God Lord Bloodrain was a renowned God Lord of the Tianhe Zone, but it was rumored that he had been in seclusion for the last ten thousand years.


    "Heheh, this old man will send you on your way!" An elder suffused with bloody light wickedly laughed.


    He had only arrived a few days ago to help out Swift Wind Gate. No one knew of God Lord Bloodrain''s arrival except for the Swift Wind Gate Master. Thus, Vermillion Bird Pavilion had underestimated the strength of Swift Wind Gate.


    "Die!" God Lord Bloodrain thrust out a palm, sending a grim and bloody light shooting into the distance.


    Boom! Bang!


    Even the two God Lords of Vermillion Bird Pavilion working together found it difficult to fend off God Lord Bloodrain''s attack, and their injuries became even more serious.


    On the other end:


    Thwish!


    A blazing image of a golden bird flew across the sky. Within this golden bird was a dazzling red and golden feather. This feather was none other than a small part of the Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell.


    "Ancestral Artifact fragment, submit to Swift Wind Gate!" A First Heaven God Lord of Swift Wind Gate was doggedly pursuing the golden bird.


    At this time, he was suppressing the Ancestral Artifact fragment and trying to take it into his bag, but in the environment of the Burning Heaven Sea, the Ancestral Artifact fragment was much stronger than normal and would occasionally erupt with strength, making it so that not even he dared to be careless.


    "What a joke! A few incompetent God Lords want me to submit?" An elderly roar came from the feather.


    "There''s no time...!" The First Heaven God Lord was rather anxious. However, he alone did not have the strength to subdue the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    At this moment, a deep voice resounded, "Let me do it!"


    The God Lord saw a white gust of wind approaching the Ancestral Artifact fragment, exuding Wind energy that could sweep away all things.


    This person was none other than the Swift Wind Gate Master.


    But before he could do anything, he sensed a dreadful pulse of Divine Power coming from behind him.


    The Ancestral Artifact fragment is mine!" Two wings of fire had sprouted from the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master''s back and were releasing vast waves of flame at the Swift Wind Gate Master.


    Behind him, the remaining members of the two factions were arriving on the scene.


    "Eh? What''s going on?" God Lord Bloodrain glared in surprise and anger at the Swift Wind Gate Master.


    Their plan actually failed at the last moment? If the Swift Wind Gate Master was able to hold them back for just a little longer, he would have been able to comfortably win.


    Nearby, Tang Bai''s team slowly approached.


    The Ancestral Artifact fragment has already appeared!" The black-armored man was stunned and extremely excited.


    "That''s right, but we''ve just been through a major battle and we all have various injuries. Let''s just observe for now," Tang Bai called out.


    Swift Wind Gate and Vermillion Bird Pavilion both had extremely powerful God Lords. Moreover, Vermillion Bird Pavilion had already been deceived once by Swift Wind Gate, and given the existing deep-seated grudges between the two factions, cooperation between them was very unlikely. Thus, they only needed to wait until both factions were essentially spent. If they made their move then, they would have much greater chances.


    In the distance, Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate were locked in fierce combat. Now that the struggle for the Ancestral Artifact fragment had reached its most crucial moment, neither side showed mercy, and they were also forced to use some of their trump cards.


    "Die!" The wings on the back of the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master covered the sky, gathering up Fire energy and launching it forward.


    Kabooom!


    Fire tornadoes swept across the world, capable of flaying the flesh off ordinary First Heaven God Lords.


    "Don''t get too agitated! We should stop for now and deal with Tang Bai''s group first, then we can fight over the Ancestral Artifact fragment. Or else, if we fight to the death, they''ll just sit back and reap the harvest," the Swift Wind Gate Master spoke in a calm tone.


    Vermillion Bird Pavilion won''t believe you a second time!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master''s blazed with anger.


    The Swift Wind Gate Master grimaced nastily. Occasionally, he would glance at Tang Bai''s team in the distance.


    "Continuing to fight will be very disadvantageous for us!" The Swift Wind Gate Master''s eyes were extremely gloomy. His expression flickered as he glanced at God Lord Bloodrain.


    Boom!


    God Lord Bloodrain suddenly exploded with supreme strength, enveloping the entire sea of fire in bloody light.


    Boom! Bang!


    The defenses of his opponent, God Lord Vastsoul, instantly shattered, and God Lord Vastsoul was thrown backward while vomiting blood.


    As it turned out, a great deal of God Lord Vastsoul''s strength was sealed in his battle against Tang Bai, and even now, he still had not managed to completely unseal it. In addition, God Lord Bloodrain was inherently incredibly strong, causing God Lord Vastsoul to be on the back foot.


    After pushing back God Lord Vastsoul, God Lord Bloodrain shot toward the Ancestral Artifact fragment as a red streak of light.


    Boom!


    Vast quantities of Blood Divine Power surrounded the Ancestral Artifact fragment. The Ancestral Artifact fragment valiantly struggled, but it was still slowly wrapped up by the bloody light.


    God Lord Bloodrain had temporarily brought the Ancestral Artifact fragment under control.


    "Let''s go!" God Lord Bloodrain yelled.


    "Okay!" The Swift Wind Gate Master was ecstatic. It appeared that Swift Wind Gate would have to thank the God Sealing Race''s Tang Bai for his assistance in obtaining the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    Swishswishswish!


    All the members of Swift Wind Gate began to retreat, preparing to use their secret speed techniques.


    Now that they had the Ancestral Artifact fragment, there was no need to keep fighting. Moreover, the members of Swift Wind Gate were experts at speed; when they focused on running, the members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion would never be able to catch up. As long as they could throw off the members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion, the Ancestral Artifact fragment would belong to Swift Wind Gate!


    "Not good! Don''t let them escape!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master flapped his wings and pursued.


    The other members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion also set off in a frenzied pursuit, unleashing attacks that swept over the world.


    In the back, Tang Bai''s team was startled.


    "Not good! I didn''t expect Swift Wind Gate to get the Ancestral Artifact fragment so quickly!" Tang Bai''s eyes dimmed.


    His imagined scenario was that the two factions would fight until they were exhausted so that his team could suddenly strike and take the Ancestral Artifact fragment. Alas, this scenario did not take place.


    And Swift Wind Gate excelled in speed. If Vermillion Bird Pavilion couldn''t catch up, neither could he.


    But at this moment:


    Thwish!


    A ripple of Spacetime energy came from next to them as Zhao Feng shot forward.


    "I can catch up. As long as I can hinder Swift Wind Gate for a few moments so that Vermillion Bird Pavilion can catch up..." Zhao Feng chuckled to himself.


    As long as Swift Wind Gate was disrupted just enough for Vermillion Bird Pavilion to catch up, the two factions would once more be thrown into a vicious battle.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng wasn''t just using his Spacetime energy, but also his Metal Lightning Radiance Wings, pushing his speed to its maximum.


    Thwish!


    A ripple of energy brushed past the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master. "It''s that brat!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master was startled. The Swift Wind Gate Master also sensed something.


    "Oh no!" His face twisted in shock and anger.


    "This brat was the one who caused our plan to fail?" God Lord Bloodrain stared at Zhao Feng, his eyes brimming with killing intent. For a First Heaven God Lord to explode with a speed surpassing a Second Heaven God Lord was truly shocking.


    "Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Slash!" Zhao Feng condensed a Chaos Origin Divine Sword and swung.


    Swish! Bang!


    A wave of Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning energy howled forward, its power something that not even the Swift Wind Gate Master dared to treat lightly.


    The other members hastily moved to dodge. They still remembered how Zhao Feng had killed two First Heaven God Lords.


    Boom!


    Although the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning slash did not affect anyone else as it descended, it was infused with a white light that distorted and slowed down the world around it.


    "Not good! It''s a Time Law!" The Swift Wind Gate Master paled, wanting nothing more than to tear Zhao Feng into a thousand pieces.


    At this moment, all the members of Swift Wind Gate were affected by the Time Law and restrained for a few moments. The Vermillion Bird Pavilion members rapidly caught up.


    The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master knew that Zhao Feng intentionally hindered Swift Wind Gate so that both sides would fight to the death. But even though he knew that this was Zhao Feng''s plan, the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master could not allow Swift Wind Gate to leave.

 1474 Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex

    Chapter 1474 - Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex


    Zhao Feng''s sudden attack hindered Swift Wind Gate for a few moments, allowing Vermillion Bird Pavilion to catch up. Although Vermillion Bird Pavilion knew that this was Zhao Feng''s plan, they couldn''t just let Swift Wind Gate go.


    In the distance, Tang Bai''s team was astonished by Zhao Feng''s action.


    "Wonderful! Now the two factions are forced to continue their battle to the death!" Tang Bai rubbed his palms and smiled.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two factions once more began a pitched battle. God Lords collided and various Laws and formidable Divine Power intersected, throwing the entire Burning Heaven Sea into turmoil.


    At this moment, the red-robed woman from Vermillion Bird Pavilion charged at Zhao Feng.


    You don''t need to leave!" the red-robed woman spoke in an alluring voice.


    Swift Wind Gate also sent out a peak First Heaven God Lord to kill Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s actions just now both disrupted Swift Wind Gate and took advantage of Vermillion Bird Pavilion. These two factions naturally would not permit Zhao Feng to leave. Moreover, if they killed Zhao Feng, they would deal a heavy blow to Tang Bai''s team.


    The red-robed woman wielded a fire snake whip. As it swung through the air, it filled the sky with fiery snakes that attempted to coil around Zhao Feng. The white-haired elder from Swift Wind Gate moved around the perimeter to prevent Zhao Feng from escaping.


    "Haha, then I''ll play around with you." Zhao Feng was in no rush to leave. It was just two peak First Heaven God Lords. Even without using his God Eye, he could still deal with them.


    "Not good! Brother Zhao has been caught!" The black-armored man grimaced.


    "Don''t panic! Zhao Wang seems to have intentionally remained," Tang Bai immediately said. If they carelessly charged out, not even he could predict how the situation would change.


    "Chaos Heaven Black Hole!" Zhao Feng unleashed vast quantities of Chaos Origin Divine Power to form a ring of light around him. The ring of light darkened in color until it was black, and then it turned into a sphere that enclosed Zhao Feng and began to exude a distorting and devouring power.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The fiery snakes collided against the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, only stirring up a few fiery waves.


    "I''ll kill you first!" Gathering up a Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword, Zhao Feng charged at the red-robed woman.


    "What a powerful defense! Large-area attacks have no effect against it!"


    The woman snapped the whip, creating countless fiery snakes once more.


    "Fire Snake Bind!"


    The whip took on a life of its own, flying to Zhao Feng and instantly constricting around him. The woman''s whip was a supreme-quality divine artifact, so not even Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword could break it.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng felt a sharp Divine Power coming from behind him.


    "Extreme Light Wind Slash!" the white-haired elder roared, tossing out a vortex of light from his hands.


    Apparently, the two God Lords had reached a shared understanding just now. The red-robed woman was responsible for binding Zhao Feng while the white-bearded elder was responsible for gathering a powerful killing force that would kill Zhao Feng in a single blow!


    Frequent foes often better understood each other.


    Swishswishswish!


    The white vortex stirred up a terrifying gale as it swept toward Zhao Feng. At this moment, all the flames were swept up, turning the vortex of light into a tornado of flame.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    As this dreadful attack collided with the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, it sent an explosive shockwave of energy sweeping out.


    "Hmph, your defensive skill can''t block my Extreme Light Wind Slash!" the white-bearded elder confidently proclaimed.


    He had a Law of Wind, so his Divine Power attacks were extremely sharp and penetrating, best-in-class at piercing through defenses. Moreover, he was extremely confident in his killing technique, as it had one broken through the defense of a Second Heaven God Lord.


    "Second Heaven level?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sneer. The ordinary attacks of Second Heaven God Lords would find it difficult to break through his defenses.


    However, his Chaos Heaven Black Hole''s defensive powers were also somewhat suppressed by the red-robed woman''s Fire Snake Bind at this moment.


    Kabooom!


    The Extreme Light Wind Slash gradually weakened. A crack appeared in the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, but it was soon healed.


    "This..." The white-bearded elder was rendered speechless, his face reddening. He was quite brash just now, but in the end, his attack only made a small crack.


    "Just a turtle hiding in its shell! Just stay in there forever then!" The red-robed woman''s eyes darkened, and then she charmingly smiled and jeered. Any man would feel angered to be called a cowardly turtle by such an alluring woman.


    "Is that so? I''ll let you experience the upgraded version of the Chaos Heaven Black Hole!" Zhao Feng took in a deep breath, and then his Lightning Soul Body began to surge with Tribulation Lightning energy.


    Swish!


    Lightning began to crackle around the Chaos Heaven Black Hole. A few moments later, the Chaos Heaven Black Hole was densely covered in crackling lightning. The Chaos Heaven Black Hole had turned into a vortex of lightning.


    Long ago, Zhao Feng fused Tribulation Lightning energy into his Chaos Origin Divine Sword. Logically speaking, this was possible with the Chaos Heaven Black Hole as well. However, as the Chaos Heaven Black Hole was of a higher level, fusion was more difficult to achieve.


    But not long ago, Zhao Feng succeeded in the fusion.


    Fusing Tribulation Lightning energy into the Chaos Heaven Black Hole wouldn''t improve its defensive abilities, but it did strengthen its damaging power.


    Swooosh!


    That vortex of light soon reached the Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex.


    At this moment, the Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex had both distorting energy and Tribulation Lightning energy. Swish!


    This time, the vortex of light was so greatly weakened that it lost most of its luster.


    Whoosh! Bang!


    In the end, the vortex of light wasn''t even able to leave a mark on the Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex.


    Meanwhile, the fire snake whip coiled around Zhao Feng was also affected by the distorting and Tribulation Lightning energy and was slowly weakening. The red-robed woman realized that her supreme-quality divine artifact was somewhat unable to endure this energy and would be damaged soon.


    The woman hurriedly called back her whip.


    "Kill!" Surrounded by the Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex and a Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword in hand, Zhao Feng charged at the red-robed woman.


    "Fire Snake Sea!" The red-robed woman snapped the whip, creating an endless sea of fire snakes that charged at Zhao Feng. Meanwhile, she hastily attempted to get away from Zhao Feng.


    "You can''t escape!" Zhao Feng fearlessly charged in, allowing his Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex to ram against the snakes.


    All the fire snakes that got close to the Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex were annihilated, with part of their energy being absorbed. Zhao Feng''s speed was completely unaffected. Gradually, he got closer and closer to the woman.


    "How could this be...? Spare me!" The woman''s beautiful face paled as she pleaded for her life. She had never seen a defensive skill that could also do so much damage.


    As Zhao Feng got closer and closer, the woman''s heart thumped against her chest, and cold sweat drenched her clothes.


    "Just who is this person? To think that he would be this hard to deal with!" The white-bearded elder pursued Zhao Feng, firing off wind blade after wind blade.


    But these attacks were of no effect against Zhao Feng''s Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Zhao Feng got close to the red-robed woman and slashed with the Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Swoosh!


    A gruesome wound was made on the woman''s left shoulder, charred and crackling with lightning.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng rammed the Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex against the woman. The distortion and devouring of the Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex, as well as its Tribulation Lightning energy, all began to assail the red- robed woman.


    Boom! Bang!


    The woman screamed, her body scorched black as she was thrown backward.


    Zhao Feng continued to pursue, his Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex continuing to wreak havoc, tearing the woman to pieces!


    "No! This monster...!" The white-bearded elder suddenly stopped attacking Zhao Feng, and his legs began to tremble. He had never seen someone so powerful, flawless in speed, defense, and offense.


    Thwish!


    After killing the red-robed woman and taking his spoils, Zhao Feng shot toward the white-bearded elder.


    In the distance, Tang Bai''s team was frozen in shock. When it seemed like Zhao Feng was in danger, they almost charged out to assist Zhao Feng in escaping. But in the end, Zhao Feng totally ignored the attacks of two peak First Heaven God Lords, even killing one. And it wasn''t even over yet; Zhao Feng was looking to claim a second kill.


    "Monster... monster...!" The white-haired elder used a secret art without a second thought, transforming into a swift gale and vanishing into the sea of flame.


    The pitch-black lightning vortex followed in dogged pursuit, and it slowly got closer.


    The members of both Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate were stunned by this sight.


    "How could this be? How did he manage to do it?" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master was flabbergasted.


    Zhao Feng managed to kill one peak First Heaven God Lord and was in the middle of hunting down a second. The white-bearded elder was on the verge of being caught by Zhao Feng.


    The Swift Wind Gate Master was finding it difficult to repress his rage. Zhao Feng had already killed one Swift Wind Gate God Lord, and then he hindered their escape, and now, he was going to kill another one of their God Lords!


    "Hmph, don''t even think about escaping!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master immediately attacked so as to block the Swift Wind Gate Master. In the Burning Heaven Sea, he was a little stronger than the Swift Wind Gate Master.


    At this moment:


    "Ah...!" The white-bearded elder screamed.


    The Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex was pressed right up against the elder while a Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword had been stabbed through his chest. A few moments later, the white-haired elder''s soul was extinguished by these two attacks.


    After collecting his spoils, Zhao Feng retreated to the side and prepared to observe the battle. He had reaped an extremely rich harvest after killing all these God Lords. Even if he didn''t end up getting the Ancestral Artifact fragment, it was still worth it to have taken part in this war.


    But a moment later, Zhao Feng sensed powerful energies approaching, and Zhao Feng even recognized some of them. "It''s them!" Zhao Feng''s face flickered.


    Boomboomboom!


    Three figures of immense power appeared on the battlefield.


    "They are...?" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master stared solemnly at this trio.


    All three of these people were Second Heaven God Lords, and they exuded an unfathomable aura. However, he did not recognize a single one.


    The leader of these three was covered in pitch-black dragon scales and gave off an extremely dangerous aura. There was also a black-robed old man with eyes like two pitch-black pools of death. The last one was a cold and indifferent woman whose entire body was covered in golden-red feather patterns.


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon and God Lord Heavenly Solitude! Zhao Feng was startled.


    These two were both powerful God Lords who were after him. He never would have expected them to be together and to come all the way here. Had they managed to track him down and come here to take him?


    But they''re completely ignoring me. It doesn''t seem like they''ve seen me! Zhao Feng calmed down a bit.


    Zhao Feng felt as if those two God Lords had not noticed him yet. If Zhao Feng suddenly fled, that would only make him more suspicious.


    "Haha, I didn''t think that there would be a fragment of Blazing Hell here! We''ll just take it off your hands!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s eyes flashed with vicious light as he stared at the Blazing Hell fragment in the hands of God Lord Bloodrain, his face brimming with avarice.


    "Sir is a little too confident!" The Swift Wind Gate Master was rather displeased.


    "Trash like you are nothing to us!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude said in a raspy voice, the Death energy he exuded causing others to tremble in fear.


    Perhaps I can use Swift Wind Gate and the Vermillion Bird Pavilion to kill them! Zhao Feng''s mind was whirring with thoughts.


    Many God Lords had gathered here for the Ancestral Artifact fragment. If everything went smoothly, Zhao Feng could even use these people to eliminate his enemies!

 1475 Everyone with Their Own Scheme

    Chapter 1475 - Everyone with Their Own Scheme


    Perhaps I can use Swift Wind Gate and Vermillion Bird Pavilion to kill them! Zhao Feng''s mind was whirring with thoughts.


    Whether it was God Lord Tyrant Dragon or God Lord Heavenly Solitude, they were incredibly powerful God Lords that Zhao Feng would find rather difficult to kill by himself. But now, many God Lords had gathered to fight over the Ancestral Artifact fragment. Perhaps he could use these people to help remove his two enemies!


    "Obediently hand over the fragment of Blazing Hell, or else all of you will die here!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s vicious gaze scanned the area as he exuded a tyrannical aura.


    Under God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s gaze, several First Heaven God Lords trembled in fear.


    "Hmph, that''s quite the tone you have!" The Swift Wind Gate Master''s body trembled in rage.


    The various incidents that took place over this operation to seize the Ancestral Artifact fragment had already pushed him to his limit, and now, another three Second Heaven God Lords arrived, arrogant and despotic, saying that he should obediently hand over the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    The God Lords of Vermillion Bird Pavilion were also extremely displeased by God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s group. They had seen arrogant and domineering figures before, but none who were this arrogant. A mere three people dared to proclaim that they could kill everyone present?


    In the distance, Tang Bai''s gaze dimmed as his expression became uncertain. "These people aren''t simple!"


    Of course, it wasn''t just Tang Bai who had noticed; the Second Heaven God Lords present had also sensed this. But the words of God Lord Tyrant Dragon had so incensed them that they all chose to take an extremely tough stance.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng spoke; "Swift Wind Gate Master, your Swift Wind Gate can''t hold the Ancestral Artifact fragment. You should just hand it over to avert any grievous losses."


    Zhao Feng had been concealing his appearance and energy this entire time, so no one could make out his face.


    "What? You...!" The Swift Wind Gate Master gnashed his teeth, wanting nothing more than to tear Zhao Feng to pieces. If not for Zhao Feng, Swift Wind Gate would have already succeeded in escaping with the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    Now, Zhao Feng was pouring salt on the wound by saying that Swift Wind Gate should hand over the Ancestral Artifact fragment. If Swift Wind Gate did as Zhao Feng said, all of them would be so ashamed that they wouldn''t be able to show their faces in public.


    Seeing the expressions on the faces of the Swift Wind Gate Master and God Lord Bloodrain, Zhao Feng quietly chuckled to himself. His words were meant to provoke Swift Wind Gate so that they wouldn''t easily give up.


    "Sirs from Vermillion Bird Pavilion, you''re also so incompetent. I helped you just now by stopping Swift Wind Gate, but you still couldn''t succeed, not even managing to touch the Ancestral Artifact fragment. You should hurry and retreat as well rather than continue to make fools of yourselves!" After speaking to Swift Wind Gate, Zhao Feng turned his spear on Vermillion Bird Pavilion.


    "What? You brat...! Seeking death!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master''s eyes went red in fury. The flames of rage seethed behind as he prepared to attack Zhao Feng.


    God Lord Vastsoul and the other God Lords of Vermillion Bird Pavilion also turned red in the face, their ruthless eyes surging with a desire to kill Zhao Feng.


    You brat, I don''t think you managed to get close to the Ancestral Artifact fragment either, right?" God Lord Vastsoul rolled his eyes at Zhao Feng and jeered.


    "Sure, but I''ve already had a very rich harvest this time," Zhao Feng nonchalantly said. In this struggle for the Ancestral Artifact fragment, Zhao Feng had already killed four God Lords, obtaining from them many spoils.


    "All of you talk a lot of nonsense! If you don''t hand over the Ancestral Artifact fragment, don''t blame this god for starting a massacre!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon viciously glared at the Swift Wind Gate group.


    The Ancestral Artifact fragment was currently still in God Lord Bloodrain''s possession.


    "Hand it over? Don''t even think about it!" the Swift Wind Gate Master bellowed, the flames of rage still burning in his heart. If he handed over the Ancestral Artifact fragment just like that, what dignity would he have left?


    "It''s still not decided who the final victor will be!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master sneered. He absolutely needed to get his hands on the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    "Seeking death!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s eyes turned cold, and he shot forward while cloaked in boundless black draconic flames.


    At this moment, his calamitous and Destructive bloodline swept over the world, charging into the blood of all the God Lords.


    "Destruction Dragon Race!?" the members of Swift Wind Gate and Vermillion Bird Pavilion all called out in alarm.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Ancestral Artifact fragment suppressed by God Lord Bloodrain trembled and began to batter against the barrier of bloody light around it.


    "Attack together!" the Swift Wind Gate Master hurriedly called out.


    When God Lord Tyrant Dragon charged forward, the Swift Wind Gate Master already knew that he was no match. However, Swift Wind Gate had more people.


    Swish! Swish!


    All the God Lord experts of Swift Wind Gate charged forward. The strongest of them, God Lord Bloodrain and the Swift Wind Gate Master, led the charge.


    God Lord Bloodrain pushed with his hand, stirring up a vast wave of surging blood. The Swift Wind Gate Master waved the jade sword in his hand, creating a dense rain of azure swords. From the back, the other members of Swift Wind Gate launched their own powerful attacks.


    Rumble!


    Divine Power attacks filled the sky as they hurtled toward God Lord Tyrant Dragon.


    "Destruction Dragon Breath!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon used his Destruction Dragon Race bloodline, harnessing immense amounts of Origin energy as he spat out a gout of forbidden black flame from his mouth.


    Boom! Bang!


    The black flame transformed into a black sun that radiated a dreadful aura that could destroy all things.


    When these two energies came together, they unleashed a terrifying storm that swept through the region.


    "How could this be?" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master was stunned.


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon was singlehandedly blocking the attacks of all the experts of Swift Wind Gate. This sort of strength was simply too terrifying!


    "If this continues, Swift Wind Gate''s defeat is certain!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master grimaced.


    Swift Wind Gate''s defeat naturally had nothing to do with him, but if the Ancestral Artifact fragment were to fall into the hands of God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s group, Vermillion Bird Pavilion would have zero chance of obtaining it.


    The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master communicated with his other members and explained his plan. He immediately received their approval.


    "Let this old man play around with you!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude saw what Vermillion Bird Pavilion was up to and immediately shot over.


    Bzzzz!


    His eyes began to turn, unleashing a Death Law throughout the world. Even the sea of fire was suppressed, drowned under a sea of black fog.


    "Just an Eye of Death descendant!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master''s face chilled as he attacked with his members. A mere Eye of Death descendant was much weaker than a Destruction Dragon Race expert.


    "Is that so?" God Lord Heavenly Solitude sneered, and with a flip of his hand, a golden-red feather appeared.


    The moment he activated this Ancestral Artifact fragment, the flames of the Burning Heaven Sea began to stir.


    "Death Flame Whirlpool!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude used his Eye of Death and the Ancestral Artifact fragment to create a massive black-and-red whirlpool.


    Boom! Crash!


    The Death and Fire energy within this whirlpool obliterated anything that entered it.


    "A Blazing Hell fragment!?" the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master blurted out in shock.


    He hadn''t expected for this Eye of Death descendant to also have a fragment of Blazing Hell. This, together with his Quasi God Eye level Eyes of Death, made God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s strength comparable to a Third Heaven God Lord.


    In the distance, Tang Bai was startled. "As expected, they weren''t simple at all!"


    The two who were sent out both had the fighting power of a Third Heaven. That cold woman who had yet to move was undoubtedly of a similar level of strength.


    At this moment, a soul message suddenly rang out in Tang Bai''s mind; "Tang Bai, they have an Ancestral Artifact fragment. Let''s work together against them. If we succeed, we can each get one Ancestral Artifact fragment."


    The one messaging Tang Bai was the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master. The Ancestral Artifact fragment that God Lord Heavenly Solitude took out didn''t scare him, it only stimulated his greed.


    Tang Bai did not reply. His intuition told him that these three were not people he should provoke.


    "Brother Tang, if we join together with Swift Wind Gate and Vermillion Bird Pavilion to defeat those three, we''ll reap a good harvest!" Zhao Feng suddenly messaged Tang Bai as well.


    "When will we strike?" God Lord Crazysword''s Sword Intent surged to the heavens.


    They had been spectators this entire time. If this continued, the struggle for the Ancestral Artifact fragment might end without them having a chance to attack at all.


    "Strike!" Tang Bai clenched his teeth and called out. He was no coward.


    "Okay!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled and charged at the cold and indifferent woman who had yet to make a move. Thus, Tang Bai and the others followed him.


    "Seeking death!" The cold woman''s red eyes focused.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    The golden-red feather patterns on her body suddenly began to burn, turning into feathers of flame that completely enveloped her. Her two arms turned into massive wings of fire that exuded a scorching bloodline pressure.


    Kabooom!


    The flames of the Burning Heaven Sea went insane. The Blazing Hell fragment in God Lord Bloodrain''s hand shook so fiercely that it almost escaped its bindings.


    "Golden Crow Race!" Tang Bai''s eyes flashed.


    The other members of his team turned grim and serious.


    These three people all have different and powerful bloodlines. Why would they stick together? Zhao Feng inwardly mused.


    Unless these three were all part of the same faction? Zhao Feng couldn''t help but speculate that these three were either members of a Sacred Land or a faction on a similar level as a Sacred Land.


    "Gate of Sealing!" Tang Bai formed a spell with his hands, releasing a strange energy that surged around the woman. Bzzzz!


    White and twisted light formed into a crystal gate. Countless words of the God Sealing Race language began to crawl across the gate, eventually forming into a lock.


    Seal!


    A unique energy seeped into the indifferent woman''s body, sealing her power.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng and the other members used this chance to charge in.


    If Zhao Feng used his Chaos Origin Divine Power, God Lord Tyrant Dragon might recognize it. After all, the two of them had fought before. Thus, Zhao Feng used ordinary Divine Power attacks, making his fighting power that of an above-average First Heaven God Lord.


    Meanwhile, Tang Bai specialized in sealing, and his attack techniques were not that strong. Thus, for a moment, their group assault against this woman was not able to make much headway.


    But they still had the advantage in numbers, so if this continued, the Golden Crow Race woman would eventually be defeated.


    "Okay!" Zhao Feng rejoiced and turned to see how the other two sides were doing.


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon and God Lord Heavenly Solitude might be powerful, but their opponents were no weaklings and outnumbered them.


    If this continues, the three of them will all be defeated! Zhao Feng mentally calculated.


    Once God Lord Tyrant Dragon and God Lord Heavenly Solitude were defeated, he would reveal his identity without hesitation and use all his trump cards to annihilate them.


    The members of Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate were also incredibly excited. God Lord Tyrant Dragon and God Lord Heavenly Solitude both had Ancestral Artifact fragments. As long as they could kill those two, there would be three Ancestral Artifact fragments available. When the time came, each party could have one.


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s group was on the back foot, being pushed back again and again. Zhao Feng was getting impatient, prepared at any time to reveal his full power and kill them.


    Suddenly, God Lord Tyrant Dragon, God Lord Heavenly Solitude, and the Golden Crow Race woman all sneered and looked at Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, long time no see. Has your strength fallen this far?" God Lord Heavenly Solitude said in his raspy voice. Zhao Feng immediately paled in shock.


    Not good! They already knew who I was!


    His three enemies had long ago known that Zhao Feng was present. They had just been feigning ignorance, for which there was undoubtedly a reason. Now that God Lord Heavenly Solitude had finally revealed the truth, Zhao Feng had an ill foreboding.

 1476 Divine Emissary

    Chapter 1476 - Divine Emissary


    At this moment, God Lord Heavenly Solitude was wickedly smiling as he announced Zhao Feng''s true identity.


    "Zhao Feng?" Tang Bai froze. He found this name rather familiar.


    "Zhao Feng? This is the name of that rumored holder of the Ninth God Eye!" God Lord Crazysword''s eyes twinkled with sharp light, and he turned in disbelief to Zhao Feng.


    "Right!" Tang Bai fiercely nodded and stared in shock at Zhao Feng.


    The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master and the Swift Wind Gate Master also stared in disbelief. They never would have imagined that the mysterious God Lord who had ruined their plans again and again was the rumored holder of the Ninth God Eye.


    If they had known that this was the case, they would have abandoned the Ancestral Artifact fragment and made capturing Zhao Feng their first priority. The Ninth God Eye could make one a God Eye Deity. What was a trifling Ancestral Artifact fragment in comparison?


    "Run!" This thought immediately occurred to Zhao Feng.


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s group definitely had some sort of scheme. Moreover, with his identity exposed, the others might give up on the Ancestral Artifact fragment and attack him instead.


    "Too late now!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon sinisterly smiled.


    "Mm?" Suddenly, Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye felt a powerful bloodline energy approaching.


    "Not good! There''s another expert! Is this their secret move?" Zhao Feng finally realized why God Lord Tyrant Dragon and the others had been feigning ignorance; their goal was only to delay Zhao Feng until the true expert arrived.


    At this moment, God Lord Heavenly Solitude, God Lord Tyrant Dragon, and the Golden Crow Race woman erupted with bloodline and Divine Power, breaking free of the constraints around them.


    Hwoooo!


    The three of them got behind Zhao Feng to prevent him from escaping.


    "What''s going on?" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master looked into the distance and trembled.


    As a Second Heaven God Lord, he could sense that a great danger was approaching.


    *Oh no!" The Swift Wind Gate Master''s face darkened as he began to retreat.


    Tang Bai''s God Sealing Race bloodline also shivered as if in warning. Nearby, a spatial vortex appeared.


    Swish!


    An imposing white-robed man surrounded in dazzling divine light descended upon the world. Kaboom!


    The entire world fiercely shuddered and groaned under this immense pressure. Even the flames of the Burning Heaven Sea were suppressed down to the ground.


    All the living beings within a range of millions of li came under this pressure. Those God Lords of lower cultivation immediately dropped to the ground, their bodies shaking all over.


    "Third Heaven!" Zhao Feng was startled.


    Although he had never seen a Third Heaven God Lord before, he was sure that this person who just appeared was definitely at the Third Heaven, or perhaps an even higher level.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng used his Space Law and transformed into a streak of light as he tried to flee. At this moment, Zhao Feng had reached an unprecedented speed.


    "Don''t even think about it!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon, the Golden Crow Race woman, and God Lord Heavenly Solitude all unleashed their Divine Power and bloodlines, forming a massive barrier. Although the Divine Emissary had appeared, making any attempt by Zhao Feng to escape meaningless, this was exactly the time for them to do something, even if it was pointless.


    "Scram!" Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword fired off several hundred waves of energy.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The vast majority of these waves struck the Golden Crow Race woman, leaving many open wounds.


    However, golden-red flames surged out of these wounds, slowly healing them. The 7th ranked Golden Crow Race possessed the Inextinguishable Flame Body, so no matter how great the injury they received, they would rapidly recover. It was rumored that, even if their entire body was destroyed, they could be reborn from the flames.


    "So what if it''s the Inextinguishable Flame Body?" Zhao Feng heedlessly charged forward, surrounded by the Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex. As he charged forward, all the Golden Crow Flames he ran into were twisted and devoured by the Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was displaying his fastest speed and greatest strength.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng charged into the Golden Crow Race woman, his Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex''s power swiftly assailing her. Even the recovery speed of the Inextinguishable Flame Body could not match the rate at which Zhao Feng inflicted damage.


    Zhao Feng also took out a white crystal mirror fragment. The Ancestral Artifact fragment instantly covered the Golden Crow Race woman in Time Law energy. This further decreased the Golden Crow Race woman''s ability to resist and recover.


    "Time Execution!" Zhao Feng used the Ancestral Artifact fragment and unleashed massive blades of white light.


    The Golden Crow Race woman screamed, the flames on her body weakening and revealing her bloodied and battered body. The other God Lords present all trembled in shock.


    "He actually had an Ancestral Artifact fragment!?" The Swift Wind Gate Master and the Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master were both extremely furious. Neither of them had Ancestral Artifact fragments and were willing to fight to the death over one, but the First Heaven Zhao Feng had a Time-type Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    But what use was any of this?


    Tang Bai couldn''t help but sigh. He could naturally tell that the Third Heaven God Lord had appeared here to capture Zhao Feng.


    "Hmph!" The Divine Emissary frowned and extended a hand. Immediately supreme Law Divine Power descended on Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex came under such immense pressure that even its shape deformed.


    "No, there''s still a chance!" Zhao Feng focused his gaze, mobilizing the Origin energy of his Dream God Eye. "Dreamification!" Dreamy mist spiraled out of his left eye and fused into the world.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye became a dreamy ball of light. The world before him became like that of a multicolored dream. The Golden Crow Race woman before him and the flames on her body were covered in a rainbow of colors.


    "Break!" Zhao Feng thrust out a figure as he circulated Thought power.


    "What''s going on?" The Golden Crow Race woman widened her eyes as she sensed death approaching.


    Whoosh!


    The flames on her body suddenly vanished, and then her arm began to disappear, bit by bit.


    With her life in danger, the Golden Crow Race woman tried every type of energy to resist. In the end, she discovered that only Law energy could resist this inexplicable disappearance.


    In the distance, the Divine Emissary''s eyes flashed.


    "This is the power of the Ninth God Eye?" Not even he could understand why the Golden Crow Race woman''s body was vanishing.


    "The legends say that God Eye bloodlines are comparable to the ancestors of the top ten ancient races!" A hint of yearning appeared on the Divine Emissary''s face, and then he focused his gaze on Zhao Feng.


    Boom!


    At this moment, he harnessed his bloodline power, erupting with an ancient energy of primal chaos. Although the Ninth God Eye was only a First Heaven God Lord, he would not be careless, so he immediately used his bloodline power.


    Boom!


    The bloodline energy soared into the heavens, throwing the entire Burning Heaven Sea into chaos. His body gradually darkened, his lower half completely disappearing and turning into a dark and chaotic fog. The Divine Emissary''s body also grew to a height of one hundred feet.


    Kaboom!


    Primal Origin energy exploded from the Divine Emissary and swept through the world.


    At this moment, all living beings in the world born from bloodlines screamed in fear. Countless fire birds in the Burning Heaven Sea felt their bodies twist and writhe under this bloodline energy, some of them even exploding.


    Plush!


    The several God Lords closest to the Divine Emissary groaned and vomited blood.


    "This bloodline, could it be the 6th ranked...?" Even Tang Bai''s bloodline was surging and roiling.


    The distant Zhao Feng was also somewhat affected.


    Boom!


    The Divine Emissary circulated his Divine Power and thrust out a palm. A twisted and dark energy howled forth. Kabooom!


    The world quaked as all the energy in the air was absorbed by this twisted and dark Divine Power. The devouring attribute of this Divine Power was somewhat similar to that of Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin, but it was even more domineering.


    "What formidable Divine Power!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master felt the Divine Power inside himself tremble.


    Those God Lords beneath Second Heaven felt their Divine Power freeze and became unusable.


    The twisted and dark power descended upon Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex was twisted and shattered to pieces.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng clenched his teeth, his Dream Origin energy going into a frenzy. His Dream God Eye''s power and his Thought power instantly shot up to a whole new level.


    Whoosh!


    The rate at which the Golden Crow Race woman''s body was disappearing suddenly increased.


    "Eh?" The Divine Emissary was startled. Although he had captured Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique and his Time Law''s power had not stopped.


    At this moment, more than half of the Golden Crow Race woman''s soul had disappeared, and she was incredibly weak. "Die!" Zhao Feng unleashed a powerful Time attack from his Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    Boom!


    The heavily injured Golden Crow Race woman was struck by the white crystal blade, and her body instantly crumbled. Time energy was also incredibly damaging to the soul, so her soul was extinguished as well.


    Thwish!


    After killing one, Zhao Feng circulated all his power and fled.


    "Dead?" God Lord Heavenly Solitude and God Lord Tyrant Dragon were stunned. They had believed that, with the Divine Emissary present, nothing could go wrong. This was definitely not what they expected.


    "What?" The Divine Emissary was astonished, rage building up in his body. Zhao Feng had actually killed one of his subordinates right before his eyes.


    "Chaos Origin Lock!" The Divine Emissary brought his hands together and began to harness that twisted and gloomy Divine Power.


    Thwish!


    The Divine Power exuded a powerful suction, even forming a vortex. This Divine Power swiftly flew toward Zhao Feng, and the powerful suction hindered Zhao Feng''s movements.


    Bzzzz!


    In a flash, the gloomy and chaotic Divine Power had formed a unique spherical space around Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Divine Power and attempted to get out. However, he discovered that his Chaos Origin Divine Power had no effect on the Divine Power of a Third Heaven God Lord. The moment his Chaos Origin Divine Power surged out, it was absorbed by his enemy''s Divine Power.


    "What Divine Power is this that even my Chaos Origin Divine Power is no use against it?" Zhao Feng was amazed.


    But even so, he still had a way to deal with it: the Dream God Eye. He was confident that God Eye Illusory Oblivion would be effective.


    "Pointless struggle!" The Divine Emissary coldly snorted, extending a hand and releasing even more Divine Power. This Divine Power fused with the sealing sphere around Zhao Feng.


    A powerful energy immediately constricted around Zhao Feng''s entire body, not only absorbing his Divine Power but also constantly grinding away at him so that he could not maintain focus.


    Thwish!


    The Divine Emissary instantly shot over to Zhao Feng''s side.


    The dark sphere around Zhao Feng slowly contracted until it became a small ball that could be held in the Divine Emissary''s hand. The Divine Emissary chanted several more spells, adding several more seals onto the ball.


    "Congratulations, honored Divine Emissary, on smoothly capturing the Ninth God Eye!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon and Heavenly Solitude kneeled down, expressions of complete respect on their faces.


    Those who could become Divine Emissaries had to be top-class Third Heaven God Lords. Whether it was their fighting power, techniques, or bloodline compatibility level, they were immensely powerful.


    "Honored Divine Emissary, what should be done with these people?" God Lord Tyrant Dragon looked around him.


    At this moment, all the other God Lords had terrified looks on their faces. Some of the First Heaven God Lords could hardly stand, their legs were shaking so badly.


    "Kill them all," the Divine Emissary emotionlessly declared.

 1477 Deep into the Tigers Cave

    Chapter 1477 - Deep into the Tiger''s Cave


    "Kill them all." The Divine Emissary''s face was devoid of emotion as if the deaths of these God Lords was a trifling matter.


    The Divine Emissary''s words caused the hearts of everyone else present to shudder.


    "No... you wouldn''t dare to kill us! We''re two five-star factions of the Tianhe Zone!" The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master''s face was brimming with fear. He never would have imagined that this Third Heaven God Lord would say such a thing, ordering all their deaths.


    One had to realize that there were two five-star factions of the Tianhe Zone represented here. If they were all to die, the overall strength of the Tianhe Zone would be significantly affected. The Tianhe Zone''s Sacred Land would definitely lash out in rage.


    Were these people not afraid of the Sacred Land?


    "Yes." God Lords Tyrant Dragon and Heavenly Solitude were unsurprised, apparently expecting this answer.


    The Ninth God Eye was of utmost importance. Temporarily ensuring that the news of them capturing the Ninth God Eye remained a secret was far more important than not provoking a Sacred Land. Thus, everyone who had witnessed this had to die!


    "The situation is bad..." God Lord Crazysword felt fear welling up in his heart.


    At this moment, even the two five-star factions of the Tianhe Zone were afraid, let alone someone like him, a God Lord who didn''t belong to any faction.


    Not good...


    The Vermillion Bird Pavilion Master, the Swift Wind Gate Master, and all the other God Lords sensed the invisible killing intent of these people. They were sure that this Third Heaven God Lord truly did intend to kill all of them.


    "Run!" The Swift Wind Gate Master instantly began to bum his blood and Divine Power, his body erupting with wind as he prepared to flee.


    The other experts also began to use their life-saving measures. The sight of the Third Heaven God Lord taking action just now had been deeply carved into their minds. Even if all the Second Heaven God Lords present worked together, they would still be no match for the Divine Emissary. Moreover, this Third Heaven God Lord also had the powerful God Lord Tyrant Dragon and God Lord Heavenly Solitude at his side.


    The chances of victory were zero.


    "No one can leave!" The Divine Emissary''s eyes chilled. He spread apart his arms, unleashing primal and chaotic Divine Power that set into motion all the other energy in the world.


    Kaboom!


    All the energy for a radius of one million li trembled as the Divine Emissary took control over it. In this situation, everyone else lost the support of the world''s energy and plunged in strength.


    Of course, it wasn''t over yet; the Divine Emissary condensed all this energy into a gloomy barrier that sealed off the area for one million li around himself. At this moment, everyone was sealed in the center of the Burning Heaven Sea.


    "Break!" The Swift Wind Gate Master arrived at the barrier first. He circulated his Wind Law and Divine Power and sent a storm of azure swords at it.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The powerful attack of a Second Heaven God Lord howled toward the barrier created by the Divine Emissary. However, before the Swift Wind Gate Master''s attack could even get close, the energy of the barrier managed to devour some of its power.


    The storm of azure swords exploded against the barrier, but the Swift Wind Gate Master sensed that part of the storm''s power had been absorbed by the gloomy barrier. The remaining power in the attack was not enough to break open the barrier.


    "Damn! This energy that can devour and encompass all things... Primal Chaos energy!" The Swift Wind Gate Master''s face was fraught with worry.


    At this moment, he was finally sure that the Third Heaven God Lord belonged to the 6th ranked race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, the Heaven Mending Race. In terms of Origin energy, the Heaven Mending Race was said to possess Primal Chaos energy, one of the strongest kinds of energy in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, ranked in the top three.


    "As expected of a Divine Emissary who has fused with the bloodline of the Heaven Mending Race. This strength is simply too powerful!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude sighed in wonder.


    The Heaven Mending Race was an ancient bloodline that was extremely difficult to fuse with. This Divine Emissary had managed to achieve fifty percent fusion with the Heaven Mending Race bloodline, which allowed him to become a Divine Emissary.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude and God Lord Tyrant Dragon swiftly went to work. Now that the Divine Emissary had stopped everyone from leaving, they just needed to finish everyone off.


    As they fled, everyone scattered. Now that they were separated, none of them had the ability to fight against experts like God Lord Tyrant Dragon and God Lord Heavenly Solitude.


    Of course, the Divine Emissary could harness the energy in this sealed area to attack whenever he wanted.


    As explosion after explosion rang out, one God Lord after another was slain.


    "Hmph, you really think someone like you deserves an Ancestral Artifact fragment?" God Lord Tyrant Dragon fired off a black dragon of flames that devoured God Lord Bloodrain.


    Boom!


    He charged out, snatching the Blazing Hell fragment from God Lord Bloodrain''s hand.


    "No...!" God Lord Bloodrain was scorched black as he screeched in pain. The Ancestral Artifact fragment that had been obtained with so much difficulty was lost, and he had lost his life with it as well. He felt immense regret.


    But everything was already settled!


    On the other end:


    "Heheh, God Sealing Race, obediently come with me!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude focused his Eyes of Death on Tang Bai.


    "Haaa..." Tang Bai gave a sorrowful sigh. He never expected for the struggle over the Ancestral Artifact fragment to turn out like this.


    The Ninth God Eye, the Golden Crow Race, the Destruction Dragon Race, and even a Third Heaven expert of the Heaven Mending Race had appeared. Even someone like him who had spent his entire life in a Sacred Land found this extremely thrilling.


    "Hmph, since you know that you can''t fight back, just submit!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude sneered. In his view, Tang Bai was sighing because he knew that he was powerless.


    "I''ll take my leave. I don''t have time to play around with you!" Tang Bai''s expression suddenly changed as a talisman of white gold appeared in his hand.


    He was only sighing because he was forced to use this trump card of his. God Lord Heavenly Solitude had completely misunderstood.


    Bzzzz!


    The talisman flashed with golden light, and then a gigantic white hand bursting with golden light suddenly emerged.


    "Oh no!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude paled and immediately backed up.


    The energy exuded by this talisman filled him with fear. Boom! Whoosh!


    The giant hand, infused with immense power, thrust out a finger.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    In a flash, a hole had been made in the gloomy barrier. At the same time, the entire barrier was affected by this Sealing energy and weakened somewhat.


    Hisssss!


    Tang Bai''s body was wrapped in crystalline white Divine Power, raising his strength to a whole new level. But he knew that he was not an expert in fighting and was still no match for the Divine Emissary.


    Thwish!


    He vanished into the distance as a streak of light. After fleeing a certain distance, Tang Bai sensed that no one had followed, and he used Spatial Shift to swiftly escape.


    "Why would the Heaven Mending Race be interested in the Ninth God Eye?" Tang Bai was extremely confused.


    Based on what he knew during the Ancient Era, the Heaven Mending Race was a pacifistic race. This race rarely took part in conflicts over resources. Rather, it wandered around the Fan Universe and repaired the hole in space, maintaining the normal operation of the entire Fan Universe. He never would''ve expected for this race to actually appear and capture the Ninth God Eye.


    However, that holder of the Heaven Mending Race bloodline gave him a very strange feeling. Perhaps there was something else going on.


    Back in the center of the Burning Heaven Sea, near the gap in the gloomy barrier:


    "My lord, your subordinate was incapable and let him escape...." God Lord Heavenly Solitude nervously said.


    "It''s fine." The Divine Emissary was indifferent and turned to leave.


    Tang Bai''s sudden use of his trump card broke the Divine Emissary''s spatial seal and affected the strength of the entire barrier. He could have gone after Tang Bai just now, but if he did, all the other people in the sealed space would have been able to escape. Letting the many go for the sake of capturing one was clearly not a worthwhile trade.


    Whoosh!


    The Divine Emissary swiftly moved elsewhere to kill off the survivors, one by one.


    "Go!" After all this was done, the trio used Spatial Shift to leave.


    The struggle over the Ancestral Artifact fragment in the Burning Heaven Sea henceforth became a mystery. It was rumored that all the God Lords who went after that fragment had died within. This matter even alarmed the Tianhe Zone''s Sacred Land, which sent over God Lords to investigate.


    Meanwhile, the captured Zhao Feng was taken by the trio to an unknown place.


    "They actually killed everyone!" Zhao Feng sighed.


    Although the Divine Emissary had sealed him with a special art, he was still able to sense what was going on outside.


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s group was simply fearless. They even killed off all the upper echelon members of two five- star factions.


    In addition, once he was captured by the Divine Emissary, Zhao Feng could sense that all his energy was being absorbed by the gloomy sphere that was his prison. It was precisely because of this that the Divine Emissary had relaxed his guard around Zhao Feng.


    Of course, even though Zhao Feng had been captured and sucked dry of Divine Power, he did not panic. This was because Zhao Feng had a way to escape: Thought Teleportation. This was the unique ability of the Dream God Eye. Only Dream energy and Thought power were required to use it.


    "There''s no rush for now. Let''s take a look at their faction and gather some information!" Zhao Feng was in no rush to leave.


    The faction behind God Lord Tyrant Dragon was immensely powerful and was seemingly dead set on obtaining the Ninth God Eye. Such a faction coming after Zhao Feng would make it difficult for him to rest easy.


    Crucially, he knew nothing about this faction. Thus, Zhao Feng planned to venture deep into the tiger''s cave and see what was going on. Even a small bit of understanding of this faction would make it easier to deal with.


    One day later, the trio arrived at a deserted place.


    "They''re laying down an array." Within the gloomy ball, Zhao Feng observed the outside world.


    Three days later, the array was finished and opened a mysterious passage. Zhao Feng was taken by them into another place.


    "Where is this?" Zhao Feng observed all the strange things around him.


    This was an ethereal world, the sky dotted with white clouds. Three massive mountains floated in the boundless sky.


    Countless buildings could be seen on these vast mountains. At a glance, it seemed like the mountain was made from that dense collection of buildings.


    "Buildings of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Zhao Feng was startled.


    Yes, these three massive mountains were covered in buildings of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    These buildings were even more grand and exquisite than the buildings he had seen in the Heaven''s Legacy Race city, and all of them were pleasing to the eye, exuding various kinds of style.


    "Such massive and complete Heaven''s Legacy Race buildings! Could it be...?" Zhao Feng suddenly had an absurd thought.


    Hwoooo!


    There were several dozen small squads of warships patrolling around these three mountains. All of these ships were manned by automatons, with the weakest of them comparable to Rank Seven Ancient Gods.


    "Respectfully welcoming the Divine Emissary!" All the automatons got down on one knee and called out.


    The Divine Emissary flew straight toward the mountain in the middle.


    This mountain was enormous. As they approached, even Zhao Feng''s Dream God Eye couldn''t see the edge of this peak.


    A few moments later, the Divine Emissary entered a black palace at the summit of the mountain.


    "You''ve returned." Moments after arriving, an ethereal voice rang out.

 1478 Mysterious Faction

    Chapter 1478 - Mysterious Faction


    "You''ve returned." Moments after entering the hall, an ethereal voice rang out.


    "Mm!" The Divine Emissary grunted.


    Bzzzz!


    Suddenly, white ripples appeared in front of him, slowly forming a circular passage. The Divine Emissary brought Zhao Feng, God Lord Tyrant Dragon, and God Lord Heavenly Solitude into the palace.


    The palace was dimly lit, and there was only a black-robed elder within who seemed rather ordinary.


    "Honored Divine Emissary!" God Lord Tyrant Dragon and God Lord Heavenly Solitude respectfully called out.


    As it turned out, this black-robed elder was also a Divine Emissary.


    But the elder didn''t even glance at the pair, seemingly ignoring their existence.


    "It seems like Brother Beiming succeeded in capturing the Ninth God Eye!" The black-robed elder smiled.


    The person who had captured Zhao Feng was called Beiming Hui. Divine Emissary was only a title.


    "A mere First Heaven. With this god taking action, it was only natural that he was captured," Beiming Hui flatly replied. In reality, however, he was rather unhappy. While capturing Zhao Feng, he had actually lost a powerful subordinate. "Let me take a look at this Ninth God Eye!" The elder''s eyes focused on the dark sphere next to Beiming Hui.


    Bzzzz!


    With a thought from Beiming Hui, the seal around Zhao Feng gradually dispersed. Zhao Feng appeared in the pitch- black palace.


    Although Beiming Hui had just removed the seal, Zhao Feng had no intention of escaping. He was deep in the enemy base. On the way in, he had sensed no less than ten God Lord auras. In addition, this black-robed elder was even more unfathomable to Zhao Feng than Beiming Hui.


    In front of these two "Divine Emissaries," he did not struggle or resist. He squinted as he tried to remember every possible detail. Since he was inside the tiger''s cave, he naturally needed to find out the true face of this mysterious faction.


    ¡°Heheh, there''s no need to be afraid. You''re safe for now." The elder smiled as he affectionately said.


    Zhao Feng was instantly astonished. This was not how one treated a prisoner. It felt to him like this elder was treating him like an acquaintance that he had already met a few times. If he didn''t know that this man was after the Ninth God Eye, Zhao Feng might have indeed felt like he was completely safe.


    After saying those words, the black-robed elder stared with his deep eyes at Zhao Feng''s left eye as if trying to see its secrets.


    Zhao Feng was also observing the elder. Through his Dream God Eye''s see-through ability, Zhao Feng discovered that there was an extremely terrifying energy hidden within the black-robed elder''s body. Moreover, this energy was extremely complex; even when seeing through it, Zhao Feng still couldn''t make any sense of it.


    The black-robed elder seemed to sense that Zhao Feng had discovered something about him.


    "As expected of the Ninth God Eye!" The elder profoundly smiled before turning to leave.


    Bzzzz!


    Beiming Hui immediately took action, unleashing dark and chaotic energy that sealed Zhao Feng once more.


    "Let''s wait for now. The other Palace Kings, Divine Emissaries, and even the Protector are coming." The black-robed elder looked at Beiming Hui and his subordinates.


    "Other Divine Emissaries?" Zhao Feng was shocked. From the elder''s words just now, there were still more Divine Emissaries besides these two.


    One had to realize that Divine Emissaries were top-class Third Heaven God Lords. There were several such individuals here?


    Half a day later, a person shrouded in red light arrived in the hall. More and more members gradually began to come in. "So many experts!" Zhao Feng was stunned.


    At this time, fifteen God Lords had arrived at this palace. And besides the black-robed elder, there were four others at Beiming Hui''s level!


    Almost all of these people had asked Beiming Hui if they could see the Ninth God Eye, but they were all refused. From this, one could see that the black-robed elder had a somewhat special status.


    In this period of time, Zhao Feng was able to listen in on the conversations carried out between the experts inside the palace.


    He discovered that individuals like God Lord Tyrant Dragon and God Lord Heavenly Solitude were the Palace Kings the black-robed elder had spoken of. These Palace Kings resided in factions known as Defying Palaces. There were nine of these factions, with the Demon-Defying Palace of God Lord Tyrant Dragon being one of them.


    Further down were the Heaven Halls, of which there were eighteen. The Heavenly Demon Hall that Zhao Feng had gone to before was one of these.


    The more he understood, the more shocked Zhao Feng was. "Just how big is this faction?"


    If his guess was correct, the eighteen Heaven Halls were probably distributed across the eighteen zones of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods!


    He had never imagined that there would be a faction that had spread across the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. This was simply too terrifying. The eighteen Heaven Halls were equivalent to eighteen peak four-star factions while the nine Defying Palaces were like nine five-star factions!


    Suddenly, all the members in the palace stood up and looked outward.


    Swish!


    A large and imposing elder suddenly appeared in the palace. He was bowed and hunchbacked, his skin as rough as the bark of a thousand-year tree and covered in strange and simple tattoos. Although it was hard to make them out, one glance was enough to be entranced, and it felt like one could see all kinds of strange and mystical things within them. The elder had deep and boundless eyes, and his white beard extended to the ground.


    "Respectfully welcoming the Lord Protector!" All the God Lord experts in the palace bowed.


    Zhao Feng could tell that the vast majority of the people in the palace felt sincere respect for this Protector.


    "Protector?" Zhao Feng was startled. It was apparent that this Protector had an even higher status than the Divine Emissaries.


    Divine Emissaries were already outstanding Third Heaven God Lords, so what sort of strength did this Protector possess?


    The Protector''s gaze rested on the dark sphere containing Zhao Feng. When Zhao Feng looked into his eyes, he felt somewhat hypnotized. At the same time, he felt as if quite a few of his secrets had been exposed.


    "How could this be?" Zhao Feng was alarmed.


    He rarely had this kind of feeling. One had to realize that even an Eye of Destiny of the same level could not see any of his secrets.


    "Most of the members have arrived. Several people among the nine Palace Kings and the Divine Emissaries cannot make it."


    The Protector''s body flashed, and he appeared on the raised platform of the palace. He thrust out a finger, sending a ball of Heaven''s Legacy Race characters descending on the small sphere containing Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng discovered that he could neither see nor hear anything.


    The Ninth God Eye has been captured. We have made further progress in our objective!" The Protector seemed rather excited.


    At this moment, all the members in the palace had looks of yearning on their faces.


    "However, our frequent operations to find information on the Ninth God Eye have caused quite a few Sacred Lands and secret factions to take notice...." The black-robed elder began his report.


    It was naturally impossible for such an immense faction to operate in complete secrecy.


    However, Zhao Feng was truly stunned that such a massive faction was able to remain so well-hidden. This was truly incredible.


    "With regards to the Ninth God Eye, the Heaven Lord will be making a personal visit. For now, we will first resolve other matters...." The Protector smiled.


    "His Excellency the Heaven Lord?" Everyone was surprised, their expressions turning serious.


    "I didn''t think that I would live long enough to see His Excellency the Heaven Lord." God Lord Heavenly Solitude was incredibly excited.


    Within this faction, he had been constantly hearing about this Heaven Lord, but he had never met him. And now, because of his connection to the Ninth God Eye, he was about to see the Heaven Lord.


    Very few people should have known that the Ninth God Eye had been captured. Even Tang Bai, who had managed to escape that day, had not yet revealed this news. This was because he was sure that the faction behind God Lord Tyrant Dragon was now watching out for him. Thus, he did not recklessly expose his identity and decided to wait at least until he returned to the Sacred Land before speaking about this matter.


    However, in a secluded place in the west of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, quite a few people knew of this and were shocked.


    This secluded and secretive place was a land of verdant hills and clear waters, shrouded in lingering fog. Deep within this fog-shrouded land were many six-sided towers.


    If Zhao Feng or Zhao Yufei were here, they would have definitely felt that these six-sided towers were somewhat similar to the Six Warlock Divine Tower of the Azure Flower Continent. However, in size alone, these towers were a hundred times larger than the Six Warlock Divine Tower.


    And within these towers, the walls were covered in Heaven''s Legacy Race characters and extremely enigmatic drawings that were bursting with profound and exquisite meanings.


    Among these six-sided towers was an abnormally vast and imposing one, a pitch-black tower that seemed to be at the center of the world.


    Swish! Swish!


    Many middle-aged and old people in black robes were flying around these six-sided towers. They all had anxious looks on their faces as they rushed toward that pitch-black tower at the center.


    "What do we do now? They''ve already captured the Ninth God Eye!"


    "This is terrible!"


    "Lord Tianwu, your subordinate has a matter to report!" Several elders of powerful aura stood on the highest floor of the pitch-black tower.


    Whoosh!


    A silver light shone on the center of the floor. The hazy white figure of a woman emerged. This woman had a face of calm and absolute beauty, her deep and serene white eyes seemingly able to see all things in the world.


    Merely by standing there, the woman exuded an unfathomable and ethereal aura. The many sages present were all taken aback.


    A large silver-black cat was lazing away on the woman''s shoulder.


    Meooow!


    The lazy cat suddenly cracked open its eyes, yawned, stretched its body, and let out a long and strange cry. "Qinxin, where is Lord Tianwu?" A wrinkled elder stepped forward and slowly asked.


    "Grandmaster will be here soon," the white-clothed woman calmly replied, and then she walked to the side and sat down.


    But this matter was simply too important for anyone else to relax.


    "Haaa, we miscalculated. They managed to capture the Ninth God Eye!"


    "We have to take action..."


    They worriedly conversed with each other.


    "If we allow Yu Tianshu to fuse with the Ninth God Eye, the consequences will be unthinkable!"


    The mention of Yu Tianshu caused everyone in the room to pause, various expressions on their faces: hatred, admiration, fear...


    ¡°''We can only make a decision once Lord Tianwu arrives!" the wrinkled elder declared.

 1479 The Heaven Lords Promise

    Chapter 1479 - The Heaven Lord''s Promise


    As Liu Qinxin listened to the conversations of the sages in the tower, her eyes flashed with unease and doubt.


    At this moment:


    Hummm! Bzzt!


    Mysterious starry patterns appeared on the forty-ninth floor, invisible ripples of energy sweeping through the world. A moment later, a figure emerged in the center.


    The figure was white-haired elder, his beard reaching to the floor, his figure large and imposing. On his back was a heavy gray shell upon which were carved ancient and cryptic inscriptions that seemed infused with the mysteries of the world. Just by standing there, he exuded a timeworn aura. He seemed like someone who had been there at the beginning of everything and existed until the present day.


    "Paying respects to Lord Tianwu!" The powerful sages on the forty-ninth floor all bowed.


    "Grandmaster!" Liu Qinxin also stood up.


    "Lord Tianwu, the Ninth God Eye-" the wrinkled elder raised his head and immediately said.


    "I already know," Yu Tianwu calmly said, his ancient and timeworn voice seeming to come from another spacetime.


    The sages fell silent and turned to Yu Tianwu. Since Lord Tianwu already knew everything, what should they do next? "Qinxin, what have you seen?" Yu Tianwu turned his wise eyes to Liu Qinxin and asked.


    The other sages also turned to Liu Qinxin. There was no doubt that Liu Qinxin already knew about what happened to the Ninth God Eye, but she had apparently composed herself.


    "Grandmaster, I see many disjointed images and clues...." Liu Qinxin''s eyes began to spin, emanating a strange ripple that surged into Yu Tianwu''s mind.


    Liu Qinxin''s grandmaster was the Six Warlock Divine Sage of the Continent Zone.


    And the Six Warlock Divine Sage was actually one of Yu Tianwu''s clones. The Six Warlock Divine Sage was the will of Yu Tianwu, so Liu Qinxin still called him Grandmaster.


    Yu Tianwu half-closed his eyes, and his aura seemed to completely vanish. The pitch-black tower became absolutely silent. All the sages knew that Lord Tianwu had begun his divinations.


    After a long while, Yu Tianwu opened his eyes. "The Ninth God Eye possesses a destiny that is difficult to grasp. Even if he is a situation of certain death, there is still a possibility of turning bane into fortune...."


    Upon hearing her grandmaster''s words, Liu Qinxin''s brow slightly relaxed.


    The other sages naturally understood what Lord Tianwu was saying, but given the importance of the matter, they found it difficult to relax.


    "However, we must also do a little something." Yu Tianwu stared into the distance, his eyes apparently able to see things that the ordinary person would find very difficult to see.


    On the other side, the imprisoned Zhao Feng was suddenly able to see the situation in the palace.


    "It seems like their meeting is over." Zhao Feng stared at the members in the palace.


    Although he had not been to many Sacred Lands, he estimated that not even the middle and upper echelon members of a Sacred Land would be able to compare to this mysterious faction.


    "Take him away!" the Protector ordered.


    Beiming Hui took Zhao Feng and prepared to leave the palace.


    But at this moment, the Protector suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing. "His Excellency the Heaven Lord has arrived!"


    "Heaven Lord?" When Zhao Feng heard this title, he couldn''t help but inexplicably shiver. His intuition told him that the so-called Heaven Lord was the leader of this faction.


    But by this time, Beiming Hui had already left with Zhao Feng.


    After making many turns, Beiming Hui arrived at a massive sealed space. After throwing Zhao Feng inside, he left. "Heaven Lord... just what sort of person is he?" Zhao Feng was extremely curious.


    Earlier, he was ready to leave using Thought Teleportation, but now, Zhao Feng decided to stay for a little longer.


    Zhao Feng proceeded to examine his surroundings, taking in every detail.


    Back in the pitch-black palace, an imposing and erect white-robed elder slowly stepped inside. All the people in the palace were focused on this man.


    The elder had a calm and flat aura, and his dignified face contained a hint of warmth and affection while his body exuded an indescribable style.


    Is this His Excellency the Heaven Lord? Although this elder seemed uninteresting, even ordinary, God Lord Heavenly Solitude felt his entire body go stiff, and he didn''t even dare to breathe too loudly.


    ¡°Your Excellency Heaven Lord, please!" The Protector moved off his own seat and stood to the side.


    Only now were the Palace Kings sure that this person was truly the legendary Heaven Lord. The Divine Emissaries on the other hand had expressions of utmost respect and adoration this entire time.


    "All of you have done well in successfully capturing the Ninth God Eye!" the Heaven Lord spoke in a warm and magnetic voice.


    Beiming Hui slightly raised his head in pride. God Lord Tyrant Dragon and God Lord Heavenly Solitude practically radiated joy from their faces.


    The Protector proceeded to report some of the more important matters to the Heaven Lord.


    When the conference was over, the Heaven Lord stood back up.


    "The Ninth God Eye has been captured. Our goal is not far off...." The Heaven Lord''s eyes stared into the infinite void, apparently able to see what others could not.


    When all the Palace Kings had gone, the Protector finally reported, "Based on our current analysis, if we directly seize the Ninth God Eye, the chances of success don''t even reach ten percent!"


    "And if we prepare for the seizure rite?" The Heaven Lord was a little perturbed as he asked.


    "Less than thirty percent!" the Protector said after some thought.


    Thirty percent was still very low. After all, the Ninth God Eye was unique; if they failed, there would be no next time.


    "What is the success rate if he hands it over voluntarily?" The Heaven Lord remained calm. This was apparently all within expectations.


    "If he hands it over of his own will, the success rate rises to more than sixty percent!"


    The Heaven Lord''s eyes flashed at this news.


    "I will go and have a chat with him." After saying this, the Heaven Lord vanished.


    Within a spacious metal chamber, Zhao Feng was in the middle of observing how his surroundings were constructed. Suddenly, a figure appeared in the passage in front of him.


    "Who''s there?" Zhao Feng turned in alarm to the white-robed figure.


    He did not recall seeing such an individual in the pitch-black palace. Moreover, Zhao Feng couldn''t see through this man.


    However, this elder had no hostility and even had a smile on his face. Strangely, this smile made Zhao Feng feel an inexplicable affection and intimacy.


    "Are you willing to cooperate in handing over the Ninth God Eye?" The white-robed elder got straight to the point.


    "Impossible!" Zhao Feng sensed that something was strange, but his reply was swift and firm.


    "I advise you to think about it carefully. Although you possess the Ninth God Eye, you have yet to fully mature, and the God Eye is still not whole. With your current level of cultivation, you cannot exert the true power of the God Eye." The white-robed elder slowly approached, his eyes fixed on Zhao Feng''s left eye as he smiled.


    "And what about it?" Zhao Feng was rather surprised. How could such a powerful faction send only an old man like this to persuade him?


    In addition, with the Ninth God Eye, he had managed to achieve an astonishing rate of progress. If he was given a little more time, Zhao Feng was confident that there would be few people left who would try and seize the Ninth God Eye from him.


    "You''ve also seen it. The faction under my control is comparable to a Sacred Land while you are currently nothing more than meat on the cutting board!" the white-robed elder continued.


    Zhao Feng was astonished. This person was the Heaven Lord that the Protector spoke of? Why else would he say that this faction was under his control?


    Zhao Feng had never imagined that such an ordinary-looking elder would be the leader of such an immense faction, and that he would be chatting with him so calmly.


    "Since that''s the case, why are you wasting time talking with me?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    He truly did not have the strength to contend against this mysterious faction. At least on the surface, he only had two choices: submit or die. But if that was really the case, this old man would have never come here to negotiate.


    "I hope that you will voluntarily give the Ninth God Eye to me!" the Heaven Lord declared without hesitation.


    In Zhao Feng''s current situation, he theoretically had no other choice, but there was a chance that Zhao Feng was willing to bring down everything with him.


    "No, I can never hand over the Ninth God Eye to you!" Zhao Feng immediately refused, his stance unyielding.


    The expression in his eyes seemed to tell the Heaven Lord that if he tried to seize the God Eye, Zhao Feng would rather destroy it.


    This was Zhao Feng''s betting chip. The Ninth God Eye that the other party needed was currently under his control. By conveying this message, Zhao Feng ensured that the other party would not recklessly attack him.


    "Seizing the Ninth God Eye will not threaten your life. In addition, I''ve personally taken a liking to you. If you hand over the Ninth God Eye, you can become a core member with a status on par with a Divine Emissary." The Heaven Lord was unsurprised and continued to speak.


    The Heaven Lord at first explained the reason for his visit and demonstrated his power. Now, he was beginning to offer incentives.


    Zhao Feng''s face twitched. The status of a Divine Emissary in this faction was obvious, and this mysterious faction had strength on par with a Sacred Land. To be able to become a member of the upper echelon of such a powerful faction was an incredible opportunity that could only be obtained through luck.


    But Zhao Feng''s betting chip was the Ninth God Eye. The incentive the Heaven Lord provided was not very large in comparison.


    "Of course, I can also guarantee that your strength will quickly reach the Divine Emissary level, perhaps even reaching the God King level. After all, the Ninth God Eye has been invisibly altering everything about you. Even if you lose the Ninth God Eye at this point, you will still possess the potential to become a God King." The Heaven Lord spoke in a casual tone as if everything he was describing was exceedingly simple.


    "God King?" Zhao Feng''s eyes were dazed.


    The offer the Heaven Lord made was truly incredible. By voluntarily handing over the Ninth God Eye, he could become a part of the upper echelon of this faction and even become a top-class expert of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, a God King!


    If Zhao Feng was truly in desperate straits with no way of getting out, handing over the Ninth God Eye really would have been the wisest choice.


    "As compensation for the loss of the Ninth God Eye bloodline, I can also let you choose from any bloodline among the top ten ancient races!" As Zhao Feng''s mind was still racing, the Heaven Lord offered yet another astonishing incentive.


    Any one of the top ten ancient bloodlines!


    One had to realize that, in the eyes of the common people, the top ten ancient bloodlines were mythical and supreme bloodlines, incredibly rare. And now, this old man was promising Zhao Feng a bloodline of this level.


    If it was really up to Zhao Feng to choose, he would definitely choose the number one Ancient Race!


    However, when fusing with a bloodline after birth, the compatibility would be extremely low. Zhao Feng remembered that Yu Heng had only managed to fuse with twenty to thirty percent of the Ancient Race bloodline.


    After saying all this, the Heaven Lord calmly stared at Zhao Feng. He was confident that no one was capable of refusing such incentives: the position of Divine Emissary, God King cultivation that was at the pinnacle of the Third Heaven, and a choice of bloodline from any one of the top ten ancient races!

 1480 Favorable Treatmen

    Chapter 1480 - Favorable Treatment


    The Heaven Lord was currently offering conditions that anyone would find irresistible: the position of Divine Emissary, God King cultivation that was at the pinnacle of the Third Heaven, and a choice of bloodline from any one of the top ten ancient races!


    Although this was extremely costly, all of it was worth it if he could get his hands on the one and only Ninth God Eye. Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng took in a deep breath, somewhat calming himself down. If he didn''t have his trump card ability to escape, he really might have been tempted by the Heaven Lord into exchanging his Ninth God Eye for all these things.


    Of course, he also couldn''t immediately refuse these things, as this would draw the suspicion of the Heaven Lord. Anyone without a path of retreat would probably not refuse such incentives.


    "Give me some time to consider." Zhao Feng put on an expression of struggle and hesitation.


    "That''s fine. Just live here for now. If you need anything, you just need to tell someone." After hearing Zhao Feng''s answer, the Heaven Lord calmly and unconcernedly replied.


    The Heaven Lord left.


    "This person isn''t simple...." Zhao Feng softly sighed.


    The Heaven Lord clearly needed the Ninth God Eye, but he was neither proud nor rash in front of him. Impulse was a devil, but the Heaven Lord was at any time able to maintain his calm and analyze everything. Zhao Feng had to treat this person with even more caution than usual.


    After leaving the secret chamber:


    "Your Excellency, how was it?" the Protector softly asked.


    "This boy managed to stay rather calm despite being in danger, and he also understands the importance of the Ninth God Eye. He was able to resist all the temptations I laid out before him!" The Heaven Lord''s expression suddenly became wise and farsighted.


    "What should we do next?" The Protector requested instruction.


    "Prepare the God Eye seizing rite, and then get the Illusory Heaven Array Tool ready. If he won''t agree in the end, we''ll take the Ninth God Eye through force!" the Heaven Lord immediately answered, acting as if he had already planned everything out in his mind.


    The Illusory Heaven Array Tool was a special tool created through the fusion of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s arrays and its instruments. It could pull the will of a God Lord into a dream without being detected, depriving them of the ability to resist.


    If Zhao Feng was willing to work with them, there would be no need for the Illusory Heaven Array Tool. But if he wasn''t willing, they would use the tool to seize the eye from him. Although the chances of success were low, this was their only method.


    The God Eye seizing rite and the Illusory Heaven Array Tool would take two years in total to prepare. At the slowest, they could get the Ninth God Eye in only two years.


    Three days later, the Heaven Lord once more visited the secret chamber in which Zhao Feng was being held.


    At this time, Zhao Feng was cultivating in the Spacetime Robe, but he still sensed the Heaven Lord''s arrival.


    "Your art is rather decent, but it can only last you until the peak of First Heaven. You have many kinds of Intent, but because they are not of the same level, your Divine Power is not the strongest it can be," the Heaven Lord suddenly said.


    Zhao Feng immediately ended his seclusion.


    The Heaven Lord, even separated by a dimension, could still see how Zhao Feng was cultivating, and he could even see the strengths and weaknesses of his art and give a few pointers on his current flaws. Zhao Feng was filled with both shock and admiration.


    "I cultivate many kinds of Intent and lack the resources for them. Could Your Excellency Heaven Lord provide some?" Zhao Feng probed. Since he had already given him pointers, he would probably agree to this request as well.


    "No problem! Just tell me what you need." The Heaven Lord nodded and directly agreed.


    Zhao Feng was dumbfounded. He had believed that the Heaven Lord would bring up the matter of the Ninth God Eye again. Instead, the Heaven Lord agreed without any sort of hassle.


    The next day, two people arrived. One of these people was Beiming Hui.


    "These are the resources you require." Beiming Hui took out an interspatial dimension.


    Zhao Feng was startled. The Heaven Lord had actually dispatched two Divine Emissaries for such a minor affair.


    After taking the interspatial dimension, Zhao Feng scanned it with his Divine Sense. Everything that he needed was there.


    "What are the two of you doing?" Zhao Feng looked at the two Divine Emissaries, who had not left after delivering the interspatial dimension.


    "His Excellency the Heaven Lord has many matters to deal with as of late. If you require anything, you can just ask us." Beiming Hui rolled his eyes at Zhao Feng.


    If not for the Heaven Lord''s orders, he would never do something like this.


    Zhao Feng''s jaw dropped. This sort of treatment was a little too good. Moreover, did that mean that, if the Heaven Lord wasn''t busy, he would have spent every day accompanying him?


    "I need some resources that can help me solidify the core of a Divine Kingdom!" Zhao Feng decided that he might as well ask for the things that he needed.


    The refinement of the Ancient Dream Realm would be finished soon, but because the Divine Kingdom was simply too large, the core could be unstable.


    The two Divine Emissaries looked at each other in surprise. They hadn''t expected for Zhao Feng to be so shameless that he would immediately make a request. Materials to solidify the core of a Divine Kingdom were extremely rare in the outside world. The core of a Divine Kingdom would determine its quality.


    Whoosh!


    Beiming Hui immediately left. Two hours later, he returned with a treasure for solidifying a Divine Kingdom''s core: the Heavenly Embryo Jadespirit Blood.


    "Many thanks!" Zhao Feng took the Heavenly Embryo Jadespirit Blood. He then went straight into the Ancient Dream Realm.


    Zhao Feng''s sudden disappearance caused the two Divine Emissaries to look at each other in surprise, their eyes twinkling.


    "Eh? Is it a Divine Kingdom?" Beiming Hui stared at the secret chamber.


    "Relax! Even a God King skilled in a Space Law wouldn''t be able to move out of this dimension." The other Divine Emissary didn''t care very much.


    Within the Ancient Dream Realm, Zhao Feng quickly finished refining and solidifying the core.


    He spent the next few days using the batch of resources he had just obtained to cultivate his other Intents.


    When he ran out, he would ask for more. The two Divine Emissaries would immediately fulfill his requests.


    Half a year passed, with Zhao Feng getting quite stronger in the meantime.


    Zhao Feng was now preparing to seek out some information and intelligence before taking his leave. However, the excellent treatment the Heaven Lord gave him truly made him rather unwilling to leave.


    "My Intents have made a lot of progress lately. God Lord Beiming, please spar with me a little and offer a few pointers!"


    This was the request Zhao Feng made one day.


    "You want to fight with me?" Beiming Hui couldn''t help but laugh.


    He was a peak Third Heaven expert with the blood of the 6th ranked Heaven Mending Race. Even if Zhao Feng''s many Intents had advanced, Zhao Feng would still be helpless against him. However, since this was Zhao Feng''s request, Beiming Hui could only agree.


    Of course, Zhao Feng had also placed a limit; Beiming Hui was not allowed to use his bloodline energy. This was because he was honing his strength, so he did not want to use the power of the Dream God Eye.


    "Let''s change places." Beiming Hui creased his brow and turned to leave.


    The two of them went to a room specialized for training. The space here was so tough that even a Third Heaven God Lord would find it difficult to break.


    "Begin!" Zhao Feng called out.


    "Hmph!" Beiming Hui immediately circulated his dark and chaotic energy and launched an attack.


    Beiming Hui was extremely unwilling to fight a meaningless battle, and he was starting to hate Zhao Feng.


    "The Divine Power of a Third Heaven God Lord!" Zhao Feng''s pupils constricted. He condensed his Chaos Origin Divine Power into a Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    At present, besides his Space Law, the other Intents in his Chaos Origin Divine Power were at Level Nine. He had filled up the flaw pointed out by the Heaven Lord.


    Boom! Bang!


    He sent his sword hurtling at Beiming Hui''s Divine Power attack.


    He felt his arms tremble and go numb, so he immediately released even more Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Beiming Hui''s Divine Power was shattered by Zhao Feng, but so was the Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    "Okay!" Zhao Feng was elated.


    Before this, his Chaos Origin Divine Power was at the level of an ordinary Second Heaven God Lord, but after this period of cultivation and research, he could contend against the Divine Power of a Third Heaven God Lord.


    Of course, Beiming Hui had only casually attacked just now, using only a little of his power.


    In the distance, Beiming Hui was startled.


    His Divine Power is actually rather similar to my Primal Chaos Divine Power!" Beiming Hui''s eyes darkened. Although he was rather absent-minded, he still clearly saw what happened just now.


    Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Power was rather similar in nature to his Primal Chaos Divine Power. Just now, Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Sword had even devoured a little of the Primal Chaos energy, developing a slight resistance toward it.


    For this kid to actually be able to cultivate this sort of Divine Power is truly rather extraordinary! Beiming Hui was inwardly rather amazed.


    After exchanging ten-some blows, Beiming Hui increased his power. After being defeated, Zhao Feng went back to digest this experience and cultivate.


    Even so, Beiming Hui was still flabbergasted. In just half a year, his prisoner had gotten much stronger.


    In certain intervals, Zhao Feng would ask Beiming Hui to spar with him.


    Beiming Hui found this extremely annoying. For him to be a sparring partner for a brat like this was the greatest shame of his life.


    Moreover, Zhao Feng also requested many cultivation resources.


    One day, Beiming Hui went to find the Protector.


    "Protector, that Zhao Feng is treating this place like his own home, making all sorts of unreasonable requests, causing Brother Dongfang and me to run all around the place. It seems to me like this kid has no intention of handing over the Ninth God Eye!" Beiming Hui began to list out Zhao Feng''s crimes.


    "This is His Excellency the Heaven Lord''s order!" the Protector immediately replied.


    The two Divine Emissaries fell silent. This massive faction was only able to reach this level through the many plans of the Heaven Lord.


    "His Excellency the Heaven Lord has a purpose in doing all this," the Protector vaguely said.


    The Heaven Lord had given Zhao Feng two choices, but he did not explicitly state them. Everything depended on Zhao Feng himself.


    If Zhao Feng agreed, the price would be worth it, and when the time came, Zhao Feng would become a member of their faction.


    If two years passed without Zhao Feng agreeing, then it would be death. Thus, their actions now would serve to lower Zhao Feng''s guard so that their plan to seize the God Eye would have a higher chance of success.


    In short, the Protector wholeheartedly believed in the Heaven Lord.


    Beiming Hui and the other Divine Emissary returned to the secret chamber to continue attending on Zhao Hui.


    One day, the Heaven Lord paid a visit.


    "Your Excellency!" Beiming Hui and the Divine Emissary both bowed.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was still cultivating in the Spacetime Robe.


    He had split his mind into parts. One part was cultivating Intents and Laws while the other was researching eye- bloodline techniques.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re rather accomplished when it comes to eye-bloodline techniques, but there are still a few small blemishes." The Heaven Lord''s deep eyes stared into the Spacetime Robe at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s expression flickered, and he ended his seclusion.


    At present, Zhao Feng was extremely interested in the Heaven Lord, and he also admired how this man had managed to create such an extraordinary faction.


    Bzzzz!


    An obscure and powerful Eye Intent surged out of the Heaven Lord''s eyes.


    "An eye-bloodline?" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    He had always believed that the Heaven Lord was a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Did he also have an eye- bloodline? Moreover, why was the Heaven Lord activating his eye-bloodline at a time like this?

 1481 Peak First Heaven

    Chapter 1481 - Peak First Heaven Bzzzz!


    An obscure and powerful Eye Intent surged out of the Heaven Lord''s eyes.


    "An eye-bloodline?" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    The two Divine Emissaries in the secret chamber were incredibly excited. They had never seen the Heaven Lord attack before.


    It was rumored that the Heaven Lord had already reached the peak of the Third Heaven, which was the God King level. They had even heard rumors that the Heaven Lord was far stronger than ordinary God Kings, even approaching the God level.


    Of course, this was all hearsay. Now that they were seeing it with their own eyes, how could they not be agitated? Bzzzz!


    The Heaven Lord''s eyes became pitch-black - abysses of death of which a mere glance would fill one with endless fear. "The Eye of Death?" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    The Eye of Death used by the Heaven Lord was the strongest Eye of Death Zhao Feng had ever sensed. If he didn''t know that the Heaven Lord was a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, he would have taken the Heaven Lord to be the Death God Eye.


    The Eight Great God Eyes that had emerged after the Ancient Era were all at the God level. Gods were the strongest existences in the Fan Universe, and no one could kill them and seize their eyes.


    But if this wasn''t a God Eye, then it at least had to be at the Quasi God Eye level.


    "Eye-bloodlines also have their attributes. The Eye of Death contains Death Origin energy. Only when you understand this power and its essence can you truly display the power of Death," the Heaven Lord calmly said. However, at this moment, his aura and demeanor went through a massive transformation.


    Now, he had the pitch-black hair of a devil that appeared like the dark sky as it bizarrely danced in the air. His entire body was suddenly devoid of life and appeared cold and alien. He had fused entirely with the Eye of Death, becoming a representative for Death itself.


    "Death and Life might counter each other, but at the end of death is rebirth, and at the end of life is death. The two are intricately connected!" As the Heaven Lord continued to speak, his Eye of Death fiercely rippled.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Intense Death Law energy emanated from his eye, but the Heaven Lord kept it under complete control so that it did not affect anything else.


    When the Heaven Lord''s Eyes of Death had built up energy to a certain point, they suddenly turned into faint green stars. In a flash, his eyes became dark green.


    Zhao Feng was astonished. The Heaven Lord was now brimming with pure vitality, a Life energy that all life would yearn for. The Heaven Lord also took a genial aura, as if he had arisen from nature - as if he was a venerable tree within an ancient forest.


    "The Eye of Life!?" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    The Eye of Death from just a moment ago instantly transformed into the Eye of Life. Moreover, the Heaven Lord had a thorough understanding of both these eyes.


    "The emergence of Life is imperceptibly accompanied by the flow of Destiny!" The Heaven Lord smiled.


    A moment later, his Eye of Life became the Eye of Destiny. At this moment, he was like a sage who knew all the secrets of the world, an ethereal and untouchable existence.


    "This... what!?" After a spell of shock, Zhao Feng turned solemn.


    He had never seen anything like this before, where one person could possess so many eye-bloodlines and use them as he pleased.


    In normal circumstances, if two bloodlines emerged in a person''s body, they would devour each other or fuse. In addition, the Heaven Lord had already displayed three of the Eight Great God Eyes. Zhao Feng couldn''t help but speculate that he might possess all eight God Eye bloodlines!


    It was difficult to imagine just how powerful a person would be if they managed to gather together all eight of those bloodlines in a single body.


    Just what is his reason for wanting my Ninth God Eye...? Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something that left him stunned.


    He recalled the legends of the Ancestral Eye. It was rumored that, when the Eight Great God Eyes were brought together, they could summon a supreme Ancestral Eye.


    Of course, this was only a legend that was impossible to verify. The legend required that all Eight Great God Eyes be brought together, not the bloodlines of their descendants. However, also because this was a legend, it was impossible to say it wasn''t true either.


    Zhao Feng found it impossible to predict what the Heaven Lord''s objective was.


    Behind the Heaven Lord, the two Divine Emissaries were stunned. The Divine Emissary who was not Beiming Hui also had a God Eye descendant bloodline, but he was far more inferior when it came to actually controlling it.


    "I have other matters to attend to. The two of you, continue to remain here and wait for Zhao Feng''s answer." After saying this, the Heaven Lord left.


    Elsewhere, in a secret base:


    "Your Excellency Heaven Lord, has that junior given an answer yet?" the Protector inquired.


    One year had now passed.


    "He has no intention of voluntarily handing over the Ninth God Eye," the Heaven Lord flatly replied. This was the conclusion he had obtained from Zhao Feng''s behavior recently and his expression from the visit just now.


    "Then why are we-?" The Protector''s expression darkened.


    "There''s no hurry. These resources are nothing to us, and this person is very talented. I don''t have much desire to kill him." The Heaven Lord cut the Protector off.


    "Yes!" The Protector said no more.


    By now, the Heaven Lord could already see that Zhao Feng would not comply. However, Zhao Feng was talented. The Heaven Lord did not care about Zhao Feng''s deliberate provocations. The Protector felt sincere admiration for the Heaven Lord''s vision.


    After the Heaven Lord left, Zhao Feng continued his seclusion, studying his eye-bloodline. He had obtained much inspiration from the Heaven Lord.


    "Dreamification!" Zhao Feng used the Origin energy of his Dream God Eye.


    In a flash, the world before him became a dazzling and dreamy paradise.


    The two Divine Emissaries also noticed this. At this moment, their bodies felt uncomfortable all over, and they felt inexplicably anxious.


    Zhao Feng used Dreamification several times. On the last time, the two Divine Emissaries felt as if their souls and divine bodies had suddenly weakened for no reason.


    Within the Spacetime Robe:


    "The Dreamification ability has gotten even stronger!" Zhao Feng opened his eyes and smiled.


    In truth, Zhao Feng had only increased his understanding of how to use the Dream God Eye, but that alone increased the power of his dream eye-bloodline techniques.


    In the secret base, the Heaven Lord and the Protector were looking at the images on the screen in front of them.


    "Is this the power of the Ninth God Eye?" The Protector was completely focused.


    At the same time, he received a message from the two Divine Emissaries describing the various oddities they were feeling.


    The abilities of the Ninth God Eye are rather complicated. It isn''t like the Eight Great God Eyes!" The Heaven Lord''s eyes dimmed.


    The Ninth God Eye that they had accidentally come upon was apparently somewhat different from what he imagined. In the secret chamber:


    "Do you have a space-type Ancestral Artifact fragment?" Zhao Feng looked at the two Divine Emissaries, a crafty smile on his face.


    "Ancestral Artifact fragment?" Beiming Hui almost cursed. Fortunately, he was confident that Zhao Feng couldn''t leave this place, so the Ancestral Artifact fragment he wanted was only being loaned to him.


    Three days later, Beiming Hui returned with a weightless white cloth that seemed to be made of liquid gold. This was a space-type Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    Upon receiving the Space Ancestral Artifact fragment, Zhao Feng entered the Spacetime Robe to cultivate with it.


    He primarily cultivated the Space Law, which decided his path of cultivation. Moreover, space and time were one. This Space Law fragment could assist him in breaking through the bottleneck he was facing with Time Intent.


    After sitting down, Zhao Feng circulated the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique and began to cultivate the Space Law.


    After two months, he had made significant progress in his cultivation. Half a year later, Zhao Feng''s Time Intent, with the assistance of Space and Time Ancestral Artifact fragments, had reached the level of a Law. The addition of the Time Law gave Zhao Feng even more room to advance in his cultivation.


    After another two months, Zhao Feng had cultivated to the peak of First Heaven!


    But this also meant that he was reaching the limits of his art. Further advancement would require finding a new art or creating his own.


    Zhao Feng preferred to search for an art because he needed to get stronger as quickly as possible. Creating his own art would undoubtedly take a very long time.


    "Arts for Second and Third Heaven are almost impossible to price. Some of the more powerful inheritances are even equivalent to Ancestral Artifact fragments."


    The only art suitable for Zhao Feng was perhaps the Heaven Mending Race art cultivated by Beiming Hui. Such a powerful art would be on a whole new level of expensive.


    "Divine Emissary Beiming, could you lend me the art you cultivate?" Zhao Feng decided to try and ask.


    "...impossible!" Beiming Hui was astonished at first, and then he angrily refused.


    However, Beiming Hui still sent this request to the Protector.


    "Zhao Feng, unless you agree to work with us, handing over the Ninth God Eye and signing a soul contract..." The Protector had a rather stern tone.


    Arts for Second Heaven and above were extremely precious. One naturally could not just be gifted to Zhao Feng. Moreover, he knew that Zhao Feng had no intention of working with them.


    "I''ll think about it." Zhao Feng lowered his head in thought.


    But in his heart, he had already rejected this idea and begun to consider other options.


    Several days later:


    You have such a massive faction that probably has innumerable precious texts. I would like to deepen my understanding of the Ninth God Eye." Zhao Feng asked, using the pretense of the Ninth God Eye.


    "Follow me." Beiming Hui rolled his eyes at Zhao Feng.


    This person was truly willing to take any possible advantage available to him. First it was resources, then it was a precious fragment, and now, he was asking to see the library of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. There was probably no Sacred Land that could compare to the learning and library of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    Zhao Feng was quickly taken to a massive library dimension. The books here were arranged according to type, and they covered almost every topic possible.


    "You can go up to the fifth floor at most!" Beiming Hui warned before leaving.


    Without another word, Zhao Feng threw himself into these books.


    The first thing he looked for were books on the Eight Great God Eyes.


    He began to browse through all sorts of books. He also inspected a few books related to the Heaven Mending Race.


    "In the Wild Ancient Era, this was where the Heaven Mending Race operated... in the Ancient Era, the Heaven Mending Race was here..." Zhao Feng was mainly learning where the Heaven Mending Race had operated and the rumors and tales of the Heaven Mending Race that appeared later on.


    Through his learning, he came to know of five famous incidents involving legacies of the Heaven Mending Race discovered by other people. Combining this with the information on where the Heaven Mending Race had operated before, Zhao Feng swiftly narrowed in on three locations. These three locations were highly likely to contain secrets and legacies of the Heaven Mending Race.


    After doing all this, Zhao Feng read through some things he was interested in, like Ancestral Artifacts, the Eight Great God Eyes, and the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    The books in this place were bursting with information, and Zhao Feng gained an even deeper understanding of the Fan Universe through them.


    After staying a month in the secret library of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, Zhao Feng departed.


    After cultivating for several more days in the secret chamber, Zhao Feng one more proposed a battle with Beiming Hui. In the training chamber:


    "Hmph!" Beiming Hui coldly snorted, his eyes burning with resentment, but he still fired off a chaotic ball of Divine Power.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" Zhao Feng used his Space and Time Laws, as well as his peak Level Nine Intents, and fused them into peak First Heaven Chaos Origin Divine Power that he then turned into a Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng slashed, and the two attacks stalemated, both of them collapsing.


    "What?" Beiming Hui grimaced in surprise.


    He had used seventy percent of his strength just now, intending to push back Zhao Feng. He hadn''t expected for Zhao Feng to actually take the blow.


    So little time had passed, but the progress Zhao Feng made was like leaping from the earth to the heavens.

 1482 Safely Departing

    Chapter 1482 - Safely Departing


    Beiming Hui was a top-class Third Heaven with the Heaven Mending Race bloodline, but his Divine Power attack had been blocked by a peak First Heaven junior. This further depressed and infuriated Beiming Hui.


    "Again!" Zhao Feng called out, inwardly rather excited.


    His Chaos Origin Divine Power was able to make so much progress naturally because of his Time Law and his many Level Nine Intents. But it was primarily because Space and Time Laws were originally one, so they provided the greatest boost to his Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    Boom!


    Beiming Hui waved his hand, unleashing a vast palm of chaotic energy that hurtled toward Zhao Feng. This time, he was more serious and used eighty percent of his power.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng also sensed that Beiming Hui''s attack was much stronger, so he used his full power to meet it.


    The Chaos Origin Divine Sword swelled in size, becoming incredibly powerful as he fiercely swung it.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Divine Power was at full strength, all the Intents and Laws harnessed, and the two attacks canceled each other out.


    "What?! This kid managed to block it again!?" Beiming Hui''s face darkened, and he became even more serious. Next time, he would definitely use his full force to defeat Zhao Feng.


    But Zhao Feng''s next words left him fuming.


    "Let''s end it here."


    After saying this, Zhao Feng left the training chamber. He sparred with Beiming Hui only to understand just what level his Divine Power had reached.


    "Can I look around the other parts of this place? I''m very curious to see just how powerful this faction is." Zhao Feng asked after leaving the training chamber.


    "That''s fine." Beiming Hui only answered after a little while. It was clear that he had just asked the Protector.


    Beiming Hui and the other Divine Emissary flanked Zhao Feng as they led him around the Divine Kingdom.


    This Divine Kingdom had three massive Heaven''s Legacy Race cities, each one congregated into a massive mountain.


    Zhao Feng was on the central mountain.


    On his tour, he saw many members going back and forth, in and out of buildings, all of them clearly very busy. Even so, these people would all bow when the two Divine Emissaries walked by.


    "Who is this person? He''s being escorted by two Divine Emissaries!"


    "Perhaps it''s an important member of the Yu surname!"


    Zhao Feng listened to some of the conversations around him.


    "The Yu surname? Is there something special about it?" Zhao Feng directly asked. The Yu Heng he had killed also possessed this surname.


    The surname Yu is the surname of the ancestor of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. It is a symbol of those who bear the purest Heaven''s Legacy Race bloodline." Beiming Hui coldly snorted before explaining.


    Their faction was established by the 3rd ranked Heaven''s Legacy Race, but Zhao Feng had no tact and still hadn''t agreed to the Heaven Lord''s request even now.


    "Is that so? Then the Heaven Lord should also have the surname Yu," Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    It was no wonder the Heaven''s Legacy Race had started watching him after he killed Yu Heng. Yu Heng actually had a rather unique status.


    "Right, that Yu Heng you killed was the grandson of a Heaven''s Legacy Race elder. This elder has been constantly demanding your death. If not for the Heaven Lord, you would have been killed long ago!" Beiming Hui coldly sneered.


    But in truth, he was attempting to persuade Zhao Feng to submit because Beiming Hui believed in the Heaven Lord''s plan.


    Zhao Feng ignored him and continued to observe his surroundings.


    In truth, he was already planning his departure. After all, he had obtained enough benefits from this place. If he stayed for too long, an incident might occur.


    He only made this current request before leaving so he could obtain as much information as possible. By subtly activating his left eye, he could see many things that the Divine Emissaries did not want him to see.


    He discovered that many of the buildings on the left mountain were places where precious plants were grown. He even saw rare plants from the Ancient Era, almost every kind that was imaginable. Of course, he probably wasn''t seeing the most precious and valuable items. Those were definitely hidden in more secretive places.


    As for the right mountain, the majority of the buildings were related to bloodlines.


    The experts of this faction all had powerful bloodlines that would leave others envious, but these were all artificially implanted bloodlines. Moreover, one could not fuse with whatever bloodline one wished. Similar to Zhao Feng''s experience in that other Heaven''s Legacy Race city, before strengthening one''s bloodline, one had to go through an assessment to see which bloodline was suitable. In addition, the chances of successfully fusing with a bloodline were extremely low, with the worst cases resulting in death.


    The core of the Divine Kingdom should be in the central mountain! Zhao Feng began to carefully inspect the mountain.


    There was a forbidden ground in the back that he couldn''t see through at all. An incredibly powerful array domain had been placed around it. When Zhao Feng looked over, he even felt like there was a presence within that was observing him.


    Zhao Feng vaguely saw a figure that turned out to be an ethereal robe.


    As Zhao Feng was observing:


    Brrrooom!


    The entire Divine Kingdom fiercely shook, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi roiling and churning.


    Whoosh!


    Several large warships howled as they left the Divine Kingdom.


    "What''s going on?" Zhao Feng''s gaze darkened as he turned to observe.


    "Come on, we''re going back!" Beiming Hui immediately called out, and then he brought Zhao Feng back to the secret chamber.


    On the way back, Zhao Feng saw many experts leaving the three mountains and flying into the distance.


    Has someone discovered this place and started to attack it? Zhao Feng speculated. There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that this was the truth.


    Perhaps this was precisely why Beiming Hui immediately escorted Zhao Feng back; he feared that Zhao Feng would use this chaos to leave the Divine Kingdom.


    Zhao Feng put up no resistance and returned to the secret chamber. Once they activated the array, the two Divine Emissaries left, a great weight off their minds.


    In the outside world, several hundred individuals floated beneath an overcast sky. Almost all of these people were Ancient Gods or God Lords. One of these was a white-robed figure holding a white fan: Tang Bai. Even higher up in the air was a translucent white-robed elder who gave off no aura whatsoever.


    "This old man has never heard of such a mysterious faction," the white-robed elder murmured.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Ripples appeared in the sky, and then black warships charged out. Automatons manned these warships, and there were even Death God Guards.


    Several powerful God Lords appeared, and one of them, a black-robed elder, stepped forward and calmly asked, "What does the God Sealing Sacred Land mean with this?"


    This black-robed elder was none other than the first Divine Emissary Zhao Feng met in that pitch-black palace.


    "Hmph, I''d like to ask you the same question! Why did you attack a God Lord of my God Sealing Sacred Land, even attempting to kill him!?" A Third Heaven God Lord emerged from the God Sealing Race''s army. At his side was Tang Bai.


    On the other side, Beiming Hui''s face turned stiff. This was his error; if he had killed Tang Bai back then, such a thing would not have occurred.


    Within the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Divine Kingdom, the Heaven Lord and the Protector floated in the air.


    "I didn''t think that the God Sealing Sacred Land''s people would actually find this place!" The Protector was rather surprised.


    Even if Beiming Hui let a fish escape, the God Sealing Sacred Land''s people shouldn''t have been able to find their hiding place.


    "This shows signs of their handiwork." The Heaven Lord''s profound eyes were unperturbed, and he seemed to be reminiscing.


    "So that was the case!" The Protector nodded and said no more.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was not internally that peaceful. For him to not have initially noticed meant that Yu Tianwu must have personally taken action.


    You should go. Frighten them away and then move the Divine Kingdom," the Heaven Lord calmly said, and then he went back.


    The Protector swiftly left the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Divine Kingdom.


    In the secret chamber:


    "It''s time to leave!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    At this moment, deafening explosions came from the outside, throwing space and time into disarray.


    "It seems like there really is a battle going on!" The heaven-shaking pulses of energy had Zhao Feng sighing in wonder. There had to be at least Third Heaven God Lords taking part in this battle, perhaps even God Kings.


    But this Divine Kingdom was showing no signs of breaking. From this, one could see just how sturdy the core of the Divine Kingdom was.


    "Haha, go on and fight! I''ll be taking my leave!" Zhao Feng chuckled as he seated himself cross-legged on the floor.


    Beiming Hui had claimed that not even a God King skilled in a Space Law could leave this dimension. However, Zhao Feng was confident that his Thought Teleportation had nothing to do with any Space Laws. After all, he had traveled from the Continent Zone all the way to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "I''ll be taking this Space Ancestral Artifact fragment as a gift!" Zhao Feng still had not returned the Space Ancestral Artifact fragment he borrowed.


    In the forbidden ground, the Heaven Lord saw what Zhao Feng was doing. Seeing Zhao Feng sitting cross-legged on the ground, he took Zhao Feng to be cultivating and did not pay much attention. He still needed to control the Divine Kingdom to ensure that no outsiders snuck in. In addition, he was also getting ready to move the Divine Kingdom.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    It didn''t take long for the Divine Kingdom to cease shaking.


    In the outside world, the God Sealing Sacred Land was in wholesale retreat.


    The white-robed elder in the sky had a dour expression, grunting, "I hope that the Heaven''s Legacy Race does not commit the same mistakes of the past...."


    His foe was the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and this was their territory. His chances of victory were zero. And in the short clash just now, he was the weaker one.


    All the members of the God Sealing Sacred Land departed. The members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race returned to the Divine Kingdom.


    At the same time, the Divine Kingdom began to move elsewhere.


    In the Divine Kingdom''s forbidden ground:


    "Your Excellency Heaven Lord, the other Sacred Lands, including the Gods, will learn of us eventually!" The Protector was rather worried.


    "There''s no need for you to worry about that." As the Heaven Lord calmly spoke, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.


    Your Excellency Heaven Lord, Zhao Feng, he''s...!" The Protector looked at the nearby screen and paled.


    "He''s gone!" The Heaven Lord''s expression darkened, and the entire dimension instantly became extremely heavy and oppressive.


    The Protector was frozen to the spot in shock.


    "Could the God Sealing Sacred Land or a God have secretly taken action?" The Protector''s eyes turned as he speculated.


    Even though the Heaven Lord was standing guard, Zhao Feng had still vanished. This was far too absurd. And the God Sealing Sacred Land had attacked just now, so it was possibly connected to this disappearance.


    But not even the God Sealing Sacred Land had this capability. Thus, the Protector speculated that a God had secretly intervened.

 1483 Primal Chaos Energy

    Chapter 1483 - Primal Chaos Energy


    In the Tianhe Zone, outside the Burning Heaven Sea:


    Bzzz!


    Dream light flashed and twisted. Slowly, a person emerged from within.


    "Haha, safely out!" Zhao Feng stood up, his entire body feeling light.


    Although he had received excellent treatment in the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Divine Kingdom, he was still in enemy territory, and there were various unfathomable individuals within that made Zhao Feng feel uneasy every day. If not for his personal interest, he would have left that Divine Kingdom long ago.


    Within the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng could use many resources unconditionally. For this reason, almost all the Intents he cultivated had reached the peak of Level Nine, and his Time Intent had even become a Time Law. He had also furthered his understanding of his Space Law and advanced his cultivation to peak First Heaven. There was also his sparring with Beiming Hui and personal instruction from the Heaven Lord.


    Zhao Feng''s strength had taken a massive leap compared to where it was before.


    Of course, while improving himself, Zhao Feng had not forgotten about his subordinates. A portion of the resources he requested had been given to his subordinates and clones to use. In that period, Zhao Feng also moved the Black Destruction Dragon to the Dream Divine Kingdom, where it had already succeeded in becoming a God Lord.


    Of his clones, Zhao Kong had the best talent and also the Eye of Spacetime, so he had smoothly become a God Lord as well. The other clones were still only half-step God Lords.


    All this was worth the risk of staying in the territory of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was probably fuming and in the middle of searching for him. This was a source of great comfort for Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    When he scanned with his Divine Sense, Zhao Feng discovered that there were many more experts around the Burning Heaven Sea than usual.


    After a Third Heaven God Lord appeared and a major battle took place, added to that the fact that the Ancestral Artifact fragment had been taken away, the flames of this forbidden area were much weaker than they were before. This was exactly why many experts who had not dared to venture into this forbidden ground previously were now exploring it.


    The news that two major factions had gathered here to fight over an Ancestral Artifact fragment had gotten out long ago. Eighty percent of the people exploring this place had come for the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    Besides these treasure hunters, there were also experts from the Tianhe Zone''s Sacred Land. These people had formed into a powerful team that was currently searching the Burning Heaven Sea for clues.


    The upper echelon members of two five-star factions had been annihilated, dealing a massive blow to the overall strength of the Tianhe Zone. Thus, the Sacred Land was anxious to find out why all this occurred or what sort of heaven-shaking secret was lurking beneath this incident.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng''s body vanished as he entered his Dream Divine Kingdom.


    What was once the Ancient Dream Realm had been completely refined by him into a Divine Kingdom, which he called the Dream Divine Kingdom.


    At this moment, everything in the Divine Kingdom was under Zhao Feng''s control.


    Zhao Feng went to the core of the Divine Kingdom. Through the Divine Kingdom''s core, he smoothly assumed control over the entire Divine Kingdom, becoming the god of this world.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi swiftly gathered. Zhao Feng created an independent dimension that possessed the same trait as the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    In addition, the dimension also contained the traits of Dream Origin energy. This also meant that his Realization ability was able to have an intangible effect within this space. Cultivating in this dimension was even a little better than cultivating in the average Sacred Land.


    Swish!


    Seating himself within this dimension, Zhao Feng took out a weightless cloth.


    "Space Ancestral Artifact fragment...!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    He was preparing to refine the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    "Zhao Feng, once you refine this Space Ancestral Artifact fragment, you might be able to fuse the two of us into your Spacetime Robe," the Time Ancestral Artifact fragment suggested to Zhao Feng.


    Fusing two Ancestral Artifact fragments into the Spacetime Robe would definitely give it a significant increase in power.


    "Even something like that is possible?" Zhao Feng was positively delighted.


    There was no need to talk about the power of one Ancestral Artifact fragment; if two of them were combined, the end result would naturally be even stronger.


    "Fusing only a Time fragment into the Spacetime Robe won''t do much, but when adding on a Space fragment as well, the process will be very smooth and the end product very easy to use," the Time fragment added.


    "Okay, then let''s do it!" Zhao Feng immediately began to refine the Space Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    Having already refined one fragment before and with his Space Law, Zhao Feng needed only three months to refine the Space fragment.


    Zhao Feng proceeded to try and fuse these two Ancestral Artifact fragments into the Spacetime Robe.


    Because these two Ancestral Artifact fragments were of different attributes, they strongly rejected each other. However, the Spacetime Robe had a tolerant nature and could hold both Ancestral Artifact fragments. Gradually, the two Ancestral Artifact fragments fused into the Spacetime Robe.


    At this moment, the Spacetime Robe blazed with dazzling silver light, seeming restored to new condition. All the damage it had previously sustained was instantly repaired.


    Of course, the Ancestral Artifact fragments had not truly fused with the Spacetime Robe, they were just temporarily taking up residence within it.


    "Spacetime Barrier!" Zhao Feng activated the Spacetime Robe and the two Ancestral Artifact fragments within it.


    In a flash, unreal light erupted from the Spacetime Robe and shrouded Zhao Feng.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng thrust out a finger, firing off a bolt of Chaos Origin energy. This Chaos Origin energy flew into the Spacetime Barrier and instantly slowed, its strength slowly shaved away. By the time the Chaos Origin bolt left the Spacetime Barrier, it had almost completely dissipated.


    Zhao Feng then tried out the other abilities of the Spacetime Robe. The results left Zhao Feng very satisfied.


    In summary, combining the two fragments inside the Spacetime Robe was essentially overlapping their abilities. This was much better and easier to use than if they were separated.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    At this moment, a strange ripple of energy came from his God Altar. Sending his mind into it, Zhao Feng discovered that his God Altar had produced a strange ball of dark and chaotic energy.


    While refining the Ancestral Artifact fragment and performing the fusion, Zhao Feng had split off a part of his mind to cultivate.


    "Primal Chaos energy!" Zhao Feng was elated.


    In capturing Zhao Feng, Beiming Hui activated his Heaven Mending Race bloodline and unleashed this Primal Chaos energy to seize Zhao Feng. For this reason, Zhao Feng was not unfamiliar with this energy.


    Although the Heaven Mending Race was ranked 6th, this Primal Chaos energy was stronger than even the Origin energy of the 5th ranked God Martial Race.


    "As I expected, when the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique reaches perfection, it would produce Primal Chaos energy."


    Although there was only a little Primal Chaos energy, it had been forged from many Intents and Laws, making it incredibly pure.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng took this Primal Chaos energy and fused it to his Chaos Origin Divine Sword.


    Boom! Bang!


    With a single slash, the sword unleashed an immense stream of chaotic energy. This energy was not countered by anything and madly absorbed all the energy in its path. It was also extremely damaging.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng excavated a massive furrow in the ground, which seethed with chaotic energy.


    "The devouring trait has gotten even stronger!"


    After fusing in the Primal Chaos energy, the Chaos Origin Divine Sword became even more stable. Its devouring ability and overall strength had also increased.


    He estimated that the Chaos Origin Divine Sword fused with this sliver of Primal Chaos power was able to contend against Beiming Hui''s Divine Power when he was not using his bloodline.


    Beiming Hui''s Primal Chaos power was cultivated through his bloodline while Zhao Feng had condensed a sliver through cultivating his technique and with the help of his Space and Time Laws. An attack made completely of Primal Chaos power would definitely be much stronger.


    However, producing this sliver of Primal Chaos power meant that the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique had reached its limit. If Zhao Feng wanted to make any further progress, he would need to find a new art or create his own. There was also another method, which was to build up resources and energy over a long period of time, upon which one would naturally break through.


    In truth, many God Lords in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods used the third method to advance in cultivation. For this reason, many of them were extremely old, having lived hundreds of millions of years, even billions of years.


    Zhao Feng naturally couldn''t wait that long though. The fastest method was to find a cultivation art.


    "Fortunately, I found a lot of information on the Heaven Mending Race in the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s secret library!" Zhao Feng smiled.


    He was confident that the cultivation art most appropriate for him was the art of the Heaven Mending Race.


    After summarizing the information he had gathered in the secret library, he determined that there were three areas that could be hiding secrets, legacies, and treasures of the Heaven Mending Race. One of these points was in the zone adjacent to the Tianhe Zone, the Tongtai Zone.


    "I should get ready to move out." Searching for the Heaven Mending Race became his first priority.


    Before moving out:


    "Heavenly Closure Seal!"


    Zhao Feng used the Heavenly Closure Sealing Art Tang Bai had given him to seal the power of his Dream God Eye.


    The Tianhe Zone''s Sacred Land was currently vigorously investigating the mysterious disappearance of the God Lord experts of two five-star factions. If someone recognized Zhao Feng as the Ninth God Eye, he would be in trouble.


    Zhao Feng was confident that the Tianhe Zone also had one of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s branch factions, and if the Heaven Lord found out, it wouldn''t take long before top-class experts arrived to capture Zhao Feng. If he fell into the hands of the Heaven Lord again, the Heaven Lord would definitely be warier. Even with Thought Teleportation, Zhao Feng probably wouldn''t be able to escape.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng''s dreamy silver hair gradually dimmed, losing its spirit and turning into ordinary hair. After sealing the Dream God Eye, Zhao Feng also sealed his aura.


    With this done, he left the Dream Divine Kingdom and headed for the Tongtai Zone.


    In less than half a year, Zhao Feng safely arrived at the Tongtai Zone.


    Zhao Feng bought a rough map of the Tongtai Zone from a large Exchange Spiritual Hall.


    "The area is... near the Pure Yang Palace."


    The Pure Yang Palace was one of the three major five-star factions of the Tongtai Zone. Its members cultivated Yang Fire and possessed extraordinary strength.


    Eh? A response from the little thieving cat!?''


    As he was preparing to set off, Zhao Feng suddenly stopped. Just now, he sensed a response from the pet contract between him and the little thieving cat.


    Although the response was extremely brief, Zhao Feng was sure that the little thieving cat was in the Tongtai Zone, and that it was not far from the place Zhao Feng was heading.


    Zhao Feng had partially left the Ziling Zone in order to search for the little thieving cat, but midway through his journey, his plans were upset by the Ancestral Artifact fragment and the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "Wonderful!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    The little thieving cat had been with him ever since the Broken Moon Clan. After not seeing the little thieving cat for so long, Zhao Feng was truly beginning to miss it.

 1484 Pure Yang Palace

    Chapter 1484 - Pure Yang Palace


    After confirming his destination, Zhao Feng set off for Pure Yang Palace.


    While passing through a large Exchange Spiritual Hall, he heard news of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and decided to stop for a few moments.


    "I hear that traces of a massive Heaven''s Legacy Race faction were discovered in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods just a while ago!"


    "The 3rd ranked race known for its intellect?"


    The name of the Heaven''s Legacy Race mostly engendered respect in others.


    The 3rd ranked Heaven''s Legacy Race was the most intelligent of all the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. They had once produced weapons of mass destruction that could destroy entire worlds, had tried to duplicate the perfect bloodline of the Ancient Race, and they had even tried to make time machines so they could travel to the past and change history. Their various ideas left the other ten thousand races stunned.


    This was also why their unrestrained plundering and development eventually offended many ancient races, causing them to join together to strike it down and force it into hiding.


    No one had expected news of the Heaven''s Legacy Race reemerging after so much time.


    It seems like that major battle forced the Heaven''s Legacy Race to reveal itself, Zhao Feng mentally speculated.


    Although he was in the secret chamber at the time, he was able to sense the immense disturbance outside the Divine Kingdom. It was simply impossible to conceal such a large disturbance.


    However, these people only knew that the Heaven''s Legacy Race had appeared, but they knew nothing about what it wanted to do. Zhao Feng had developed his own understanding after staying there for a while.


    In his view, the Heaven Lord was an extremely ambitious man, and the Heaven''s Legacy Race undoubtedly had some goal that very few people knew about.


    But Zhao Feng couldn''t be bothered to worry about such things. He currently needed to increase his strength as quickly as possible so that he could protect himself.


    Besides news on the Heaven''s Legacy Race, there was also news on the Ninth God Eye. They only knew that the Ninth God Eye had appeared, but there was nothing else specific about it.


    After listening around, Zhao Feng learned that the faction that had attacked the Heaven''s Legacy Race back then was the God Sealing Sacred Land.


    "Tang Bai''s faction. Could it be...?" Zhao Feng saw Tang Bai escape back then.


    Tang Bai undoubtedly had significant status in the Sacred Land, and he had definitely told the Sacred Land about the Ninth God Eye. In other words, the God Sealing Sacred Land had attacked the Heaven''s Legacy Race not for revenge; their true goal was probably the Ninth God Eye.


    It was probably that, after failing, the God Sealing Sacred Land chose to spread the news around.


    After understanding all this, Zhao Feng left the Exchange Spiritual Hall and continued on his journey.


    Ten days later, as he was passing over a vast lake:


    Brrrooom!


    Heaven-shaking sounds of battle came from the distance.


    "God Lord!" Zhao Feng immediately determined the strength levels of the combatants.


    God-Lord-level battles were normally an extremely rare occurrence in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Zhao Feng activated his left eye and saw that a pursuit was taking place in the distance. What left Zhao Feng speechless was that this pursuit was headed in his direction.


    The one fleeing was an elder with an upright and honest face and flaming red hair. He was a First Heaven God Lord.


    The pursuers were two First Heaven God Lords, with one of them being a peak First Heaven. These two pursuers were both concealed in dark streams of energy that concealed their appearances.


    The fleeing red-haired elder glanced at Zhao Feng before flying past him. Because Zhao Feng was concealing his energy, the fleeing elder believed that Zhao Feng''s cultivation level was too low and completely ignored him. After all, Zhao Feng also appeared very young.


    But what Zhao Feng didn''t expect was that those two pursuing God Lords viciously glared at Zhao Feng.


    "This kid saw it! Kill!" One of the God Lords, who had a rather elderly voice, called out.


    A moment later, a massive palm of dark energy howled toward Zhao Feng. The lake down below was thrown into turmoil, gigantic waves tossing and turning on its surface.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted in displeasure.


    Gathering his Chaos Origin Divine Power, he punched.


    Boom! Bang!


    This seemingly ordinary punch obliterated the attack of that God Lord. The God Lord who had sent that attack went stiff in shock.


    "We made a mistake!" The other God Lord, who had the voice of a middle-aged man, spoke.


    "We committed a great offense just now! Good Sir, please forgive us!" The elderly voice spoke again. If they provoked a God Lord while already pursuing a different one, they would have a real problem on their hands. Thus, he immediately apologized to Zhao Feng.


    Seeing that they had apologized, Zhao Feng prepared to leave.


    But at this moment, the fleeing red-haired elder''s eyes flashed, and he turned to Zhao Feng.


    "Good Sir, please save me! This old man is willing to offer a large reward of God Crystals and resources!" The red- haired elder seemed to be somewhat pleading in his tone.


    He was already injured, and there was a high chance that he would die while being pursued by these two God Lords.


    Zhao Feng said nothing and prepared to leave. The God Crystals and resources offered by an ordinary First Heaven God Lord were of no interest to him. Moreover, this was a matter between other God Lords, so he really didn''t care that much.


    "Many thanks! Good Sir, please travel safely!" The two people in the black streams of energy smiled.


    "Cease resistance and hand yourself over!" one of the men yelled.


    Swishswishswish!


    A spear appeared in his hand, its tip firing off countless bolts of energy that were so densely packed that they were impossible to dodge.


    "Good Sir, don''t go! Save me and Pure Yang Palace will undoubtedly richly reward you in gratitude!" The red-haired elder was in grave peril, and he once more pleaded for Zhao Feng''s help.


    "Pure Yang Palace?" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed, his expression slightly twitching.


    He was planning to go to Pure Yang Palace to take a look at some stuff. After summing up all the information he had gathered in the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s library, he had ultimately determined that there might be secrets, legacies, and treasures of the Heaven Mending Race on the grounds of the Tongtai Zone''s Pure Yang Palace


    There were some secrets that Pure Yang Palace definitely would not tell him, but if he saved a God Lord of Pure Yang Palace, this faction would definitely try its best to help him.


    Zhao Feng suddenly turned around and looked at the red-haired elder.


    "Good Sir, please pay no attention to this matter. Once we finish with him, we are willing to give you half of what is in his interspatial dimension!" The two pursuers saw Zhao Feng turning around and knew that the situation was about to reverse, so they immediately tried to bribe him to look the other way.


    Zhao Feng appeared rather young and was a First Heaven at most. If he joined with the red-haired elder, they would still be no match. However, the pursuers would also not be able to do much to two God Lords working together.


    Offering up half of a God Lord''s wealth was incredibly generous. After all, Zhao Feng had only come upon this situation by accident.


    "Good Sir, Pure Yang Palace is a five-star faction. I can invite you to be a guest of our Pure Yang Palace, where you can receive anything you need!" The red-haired elder saw a chance and immediately spiced up his offer. Zhao Feng was his only hope of surviving at this time.


    The two of you, get out of here!" Zhao Feng barked at those two God Lords in the dark streams of energy. He had decided to save the elder.


    "What?" The two pursuers were rather astounded.


    Even if Zhao Feng had decided to intervene, this attitude was a little too arrogant. Someone so young could only be First Heaven at most, and he would be no match against the two of them, even if he worked with the injured red- haired elder.


    "It seems like I''ll have to use force!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted and sent out a surge of Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    The world darkened as all the energy in the surrounding area converged on Zhao Feng.


    The two pursuers were startled and sensed that something bad was about to happen.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng punched, and immediately a massive fist made of dark energy hurtled toward the pair.


    "So strong!"


    Only when confronting Zhao Feng''s attack did the two realize just how strong Zhao Feng was. Purely the Divine Power in this fist made the two of them tremble in fear.


    "Retreat!" The pair immediately made their decision.


    After all, when Zhao Feng decided to intervene, they had already failed, let alone the fact that Zhao Feng was so strong. Boom! Bang!


    The two of them worked together to put a defense that barely managed to block Zhao Feng''s attack. After that, the two swiftly fled.


    The red-haired elder''s jaw dropped, and it took some time for him to shake off his shock.


    "Many thanks, Good Sir, for saving my life!" The red-haired elder solemnly gazed at Zhao Feng.


    He had doubted Zhao Feng''s strength before, but he then personally witnessed Zhao Feng frightening away his two pursuers. A young person with such strength had to belong to some Sacred Land.


    "Didn''t you invite me to Pure Yang Palace as a guest? I was planning to pay that place a visit." Zhao Feng smiled.


    "Since Good Sir was already planning on visiting, Pure Yang Palace will naturally welcome you!" The red-haired elder was rather surprised, but he was still delighted to bring him over.


    On the way there, Zhao Feng learned that this red-haired elder was called Ao Hongguang, and he was an Elder of Pure Yang Palace. While on an outside excursion, he was ambushed, and while fleeing, he ran into Zhao Feng.


    As for his own identity, Zhao Feng gave the name Zhao Wang, and he also said that he was a God Lord of the Life Sacred Land. This would reduce the suspicion the elder might have of him. The Life Sacred L×¥d was incredibly ^ away, and a single Sacred Land would have many God Lords.


    The response from the little thieving cat is getting closer and closer! Zhao Feng could sense through the pet contract that the little thieving cat was nearby.


    As they ventured onward, Zhao Feng realized that the little thieving cat was in the vicinity of Pure Yang Palace. The little thieving cat had divination abilities, so perhaps it already knew that Zhao Feng was headed for Pure Yang Palace and had decided to wait for him there.


    When he arrived at Pure Yang Palace, Zhao Feng became sure of this point.


    Pure Yang Palace was built atop a lofty range of mountains. Its buildings were golden and red, all of them exuding intense heat.


    Within Pure Yang Palace, in the central hall, all the upper echelon members had assembled.


    The Pure Yang Palace Master was a tall and slender elder in a red robe, a Second Heaven with a strong aura.


    There was also another God Lord beside him, a middle-aged man at First Heaven.


    "We must truly thank Good Sir for your efforts!" The Pure Yang Palace Master had already expressed his gratitude several times.


    Pure Yang Palace had three God Lords in total. By saving the life of one God Lord, Zhao Feng could be said to have altered the destiny of Pure Yang Palace.


    "Good Sir, if you have any request, please state it. Pure Yang Palace will do its best to fulfill it!" the Pure Yang Palace Master declared.


    In his view, since Zhao Feng had saved Ao Hongguang''s life and had been planning to personally visit Pure Yang Palace anyway, he undoubtedly had some ulterior motive.


    "This Zhao truly does have a matter that brought him here." Zhao Feng paused for a moment.


    He could not directly discuss the Heaven Mending Race''s secrets. He needed to find another excuse to investigate the


    area.


    At this moment:


    Whoosh!


    A Pure Yang Palace elder rushed inside.


    "What''s going on? Can''t you see that I''m entertaining an honored guest?" The Pure Yang Palace Master was incensed by this interruption.


    "Palace Master, it''s that cat again...." The elder had a rather unsightly grimace.

 1485 Pure Yang Palaces Secre

    Chapter 1485 - Pure Yang Palace''s Secret


    "Palace Master, it''s that cat again...." The elder had a rather unsightly grimace.


    The word "cat" had the Pure Yang Palace Master seething with rage, and he immediately got to his feet.


    "Palace Master, what''s all this about a cat?" Zhao Feng was now sure that the cat of Pure Yang Palace was the little thieving cat.


    "One year ago, a cat of unknown origins arrived. It was rather strange, just wandering around the place. Pure Yang Palace didn''t care about it at first, never expecting that it would sneak into the Celestial Garden and eat quite a few our precious plants!" The Pure Yang Palace Master gave a summary of what had happened.


    In truth, when Pure Yang Palace first noticed how unusual this cat was, they tried to capture it, but they had repeatedly failed. As for the Celestial Garden, that was an independent dimension where Pure Yang Palace grew various precious plants. Later on, that thieving cat snuck in and ate quite a few of these plants.


    "Palace Master, that cat snuck into the Celestial Garden again!" The elder who had just entered once more spoke.


    "Palace Master, this cat is too cunning. It''s simply impossible to capture it. We should either kill it or drive it away so it doesn''t come back!" Ao Hongguang had some understanding of this problem and advised.


    "Go!" The Pure Yang Palace Master''s eyes burst with red light as he charged out.


    The group soon arrived at the Celestial Garden.


    This was a wondrous land brimming with Yuan Qi, and many priceless herbs and plants had been planted here.


    Once the God Lords and Ancient Gods entered the garden and sent out their Divine Senses, they soon spotted a silver- gray cat embracing a red crystalline fruit and taking large bites out of it.


    Little thieving cat! Zhao Feng faintly smiled. The cat that was helping itself to the delicacies of the Celestial Garden was none other than the little thieving cat.


    The little thieving cat had gotten a little larger. After getting separated from Zhao Feng, it had probably brought disaster on quite a few people.


    "That''s... the Heavenfire True Yang Fruit! A single fruit only ripens every one million years!" The Pure Yang Palace Master spotted the fruit in the hands of the cat and stomped on the ground in fury.


    Whoosh!


    The three God Lords tried to surround the thieving cat from three sides.


    But the three God Lords were noticed by the little thieving cat before they could even get close. It swallowed the remainder of the fruit and fled into the distance as a silver streak of light.


    "After it!" The three God Lords refused to give up.


    Although the little thieving cat was much faster than the three God Lords, if they converged on it from multiple directions, and given that this dimension wasn''t that big, the little thieving cat wouldn''t be able to avoid them forever.


    But in a direct battle, the little thieving cat didn''t fear even a First Heaven God Lord.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The little thieving cat extended its claws. Mysterious characters began to flow across them, and white frost slowly began to congeal.


    The little thieving cat suddenly appeared next to Ao Hongguang and lashed out with its claws.


    "Careful! That''s the power of the Icedeep Race!" The Pure Yang Palace Master cautioned.


    They had briefly clashed with the thieving cat before and had some understanding of its abilities.


    "Hmph!" Ao Hongguang coldly snorted, and his entire body erupted with fierce red flames as he threw a punch.


    Boom! Hissss!


    In this clash, it was actually the little thieving cat''s Icedeep Race power that was stronger. That frigid energy was constantly assailing the Yang Fire, even directly freezing some of it.


    But at this moment, the other two God Lords approached the little thieving cat.


    Thwish!


    The little thieving cat left a blur behind as it vanished.


    "Alas, you''re wounded, or else you might have been able to keep that thieving cat busy for a while longer!" The Pure Yang Palace Master sighed.


    Ao Hongguang had just returned and had yet to recover from his injuries.


    "Junior Brother, you seem to be injured as well?" Ao Hongguang turned to the middle-aged man, who was the third God Lord of Pure Yang Palace.


    "There are things that you don''t know. Not long ago, I was ambushed as well. Fortunately, I noticed beforehand, so I was able to escape with his life!" The middle-aged man resentfully spat.


    His injuries were actually more serious, such that even after such a long time, he had still not completely recovered.


    Could it be Shadowstream Peak? Ao Hongguang inwardly speculated.


    Shadowstream Peak was also a five-star faction of the Tongtai Zone, and it had never been on good terms with Pure Yang Palace.


    "Kill it!" the Pure Yang Palace Master angrily grunted.


    The other two God Lords of Pure Yang Palace had been ambushed, which had already left the Pure Yang Palace Master fuming. And now, this thieving cat was testing the limits of his patience. At this moment, the Pure Yang Palace Master had completely given up on capturing the thieving cat and decided to just kill it.


    Thwish!


    The three God Lords charged right at the thieving cat. Meooow!


    The little thieving cat looked at the three God Lords and then made an obscene gesture. This infuriated the three God Lords of Pure Yang Palace even more.


    Thwish!


    The little thieving cat vanished in a streak of light.


    "How did this thieving cat suddenly get faster!?" The Pure Yang Palace Master was startled.


    The thieving cat had gotten much faster than before.


    After chasing it for half a day, the three God Lords only managed to keep up with the cat, but they failed to injure it. The Celestial Garden, on the other hand, was devastated.


    Of course, the three God Lords had done their utmost to reduce this damage, but the little thieving cat had intentionally fled to the ground, leaving them with no other option.


    "Everyone, why don''t you let me deal with this thieving cat?" At this time, the distant Zhao Feng finally spoke.


    "Brother Zhao, how could we ask this of you?" The Pure Yang Palace Master dryly laughed, his face instantly turning red.


    A mighty five-star faction had been lowered to this level by a single cat, and they had made themselves a laughingstock in front of Zhao Feng.


    "I''m a beast tamer, so I happen to be an expert at dealing with little rascals like this!" Zhao Feng added.


    If the Pure Yang Palace Master still didn''t agree after hearing this, then he was being rather unreasonable.


    "Okay! I must trouble Brother Zhao then!" The astonished The Pure Yang Palace Master agreed.


    They had tried to have beast tamers tame this thieving cat before, but sub-God Lord beast tamers were not able to do anything to the thieving cat while God Lord beast tamers were so rare that it was extremely difficult to request their services.


    They hadn''t expected for someone as young as Zhao Feng to also be a beast tamer.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng immediately flew toward the little thieving cat.


    "Brother Zhao, do you need our help?" the Pure Yang Palace Master asked.


    In truth, he really didn''t want to help. A God Lord beast tamer with the help of the three of them would definitely be able to tame the cat, but if that happened, the cat would be Zhao Feng''s and Zhao Feng would also get the impression that they were incompetent. They actually hoped that Zhao Feng would fail to tame the thieving cat; all they wanted him to do was drive it away.


    "No need." Zhao Feng refused, and then his speed suddenly increased, his position becoming ever-changing and hard to pin down.


    The Pure Yang Palace Master smiled. Inwardly, he mused that the young always were rather proud.


    But a moment later, his face froze.


    "What incredible speed!" Ao Hongguang''s eyes flashed.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s speed was practically on par with the little thieving cat''s.


    Meooow!


    The little thieving cat called out in alarm and hastily tried to flee.


    Zhao Feng closely pursued, his left eye thrumming with Eye Intent.


    Kaboom!


    A heaven-shaking Lightning soul energy shot forward.


    The little thieving cat was struck by the ripples of soul energy. Its body went stiff as it plunged to the ground.


    Thwish!


    Before it hit the ground, the little thieving cat stabilized itself and once more fled, its face stricken with panic.


    But Zhao Feng was even faster. He once more approached the thieving cat, his left eye unleashing Illusion Dao energy that engulfed the cat.


    The three God Lords looked on in shock, speechless.


    Bzzzz!


    The Illusion energy Zhao Feng released engulfed the little thieving cat''s soul, gradually bringing it under his control. Zhao Feng walked up to the little thieving cat and poured his Soul Intent into its body.


    Of course, all this was just a play he and the little thieving cat were performing. In order to make the other God Lords believe it was real, he had the little thieving cat struggle a little.


    After a little while, the little thieving cat opened its eyes, appearing much more obedient as it sat down at Zhao Feng''s side.


    "As expected of a beast tamer! They always have a way of dealing with such rare and precious beasts!" The Pure Yang Palace Master dryly coughed before breaking out in laughter.


    "Brother Zhao truly has extraordinary skill in beast taming!" Ao Hongguang couldn''t help but sigh in wonder.


    "This cat doesn''t have a violent nature, so taming it was not difficult." Zhao Feng smiled and explained.


    Meooow!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng''s shoulder and made a cunning smile.


    "Brother Zhao, you''ve helped Pure Yang Palace resolve yet another problem. For what reason has Brother Zhao come to this place? Pure Yang Palace will do all it can to help!" the Pure Yang Palace Master declared.


    Zhao Feng had rendered service for Pure Yang Palace twice, and he was a God Lord of the Life Sacred Land. Thus, Pure Yang Palace planned to form a good relationship with Zhao Feng by fulfilling any request he desired.


    "I''ve come to investigate a few things. As for the exact details, please forgive me, as it''s not convenient for me to talk about them," Zhao Feng very mysteriously said.


    Pure Yang Palace members nodded their heads, taking Zhao Feng to be in the middle of some secret mission for the Life Sacred Land.


    The group took their leave of the Celestial Garden.


    The Pure Yang Palace Master immediately told the others to keep the matter just now a secret. The three of them had failed to take care of the cat while an outsider had succeeded. If this matter got out, it would damage the prestige of Pure Yang Palace.


    Upon leaving the Celestial Garden, Zhao Feng felt the Primal Chaos energy in his God Altar inexplicably tremble.


    Zhao Feng was surprised and stopped for a moment. It seems like the secret of the Heaven Mending Race really is around Pure Yang Palace!


    He scanned the area, his gaze ultimately pausing on a gloomy region across from him. With his Divine Sense and his Space Law, Zhao Feng discovered that a dimension was hidden within.


    "Palace Master, what''s that up ahead?" Zhao Feng inquired.


    "Oh, that''s one of Pure Yang Palace''s many training grounds. It''s for disciples beneath the Ancient God level, and it''s opened once every one hundred years." The Pure Yang Palace Master was rather confused as to why Zhao Feng would ask such a question, but he still replied truthfully.


    Afterward, Zhao Feng asked to enter Pure Yang Palace''s library to gather some information. The Pure Yang Palace Master immediately agreed, opening all the books of the library to him without condition.


    The ambush of two of Pure Yang Palace''s God Lords recently had left the Palace Master incredibly uneasy. When he learned that Zhao Feng planned to stay for a while, he was only too happy to accept. After all, Zhao Feng was rather strong, and even if Pure Yang Palace encountered some danger, he might be able to assist in resolving it.


    "Thieving cat, why did you come all the way here?" Zhao Feng messaged the little thieving cat.


    It was apparent that the little thieving cat hadn''t been slacking around after being separated. It had probably terrorized many people, or else it wouldn''t have gotten so much stronger.


    Of course, the little thieving cat''s appearance and the act it had played out with Zhao Feng inadvertently made Pure Yang Palace trust Zhao Feng more.


    Far to the east of Pure Yang Palace, a group of people who had concealed their energies was silently advancing.


    "Hmph, you tried an ambush twice, but neither one of them succeeded!" the leader, a bull-horned elder, coldly said.


    The two God Lords next to him lowered their heads.


    "We only failed when pursuing Ao Hongguang because another God Lord suddenly appeared," the middle-aged man muttered.


    "That youth is still within Pure Yang Palace!" A black elder frowned.


    The two of them were none other than the two God Lords who had first pursued Ao Hongguang.


    "Hmph, this time, with the help of God Lord Cloudmoon, Pure Yang Palace will be helpless. We can also use the chance to remove that brat!" The bull-horned elder grunted.


    They had tried twice to ambush God Lords of Pure Yang Palace, and though they had not killed their targets, they had heavily injured them. Pure Yang Palace was at its weakest point.


    "If you''ve been deceiving my Shadowstream Peak about the treasures of the Heaven Mending Race, don''t even think about getting off easy!" Behind the bull-horned elder was a graceful woman dressed in white and engulfed in a white fog, and it was she who had issued this stern warning.

 1486 The Dragon Emperor from the Old Days

    Chapter 1486 - The Dragon Emperor from the Old Days


    On the top floor of the library, Zhao Feng studied the secrets of Pure Yang Palace. This included the feats of Pure Yang Palace''s founding ancestor and other events in its development and history that very few people knew about.


    The founding ancestor of Pure Yang Palace was a Third Heaven God Lord. Pure Yang Palace at the time was extremely prosperous, but it was on the decline now.


    There were also detailed records on why Pure Yang Palace was in decline. It was because an enemy of the person who was the Pure Yang Palace Master at the time came to find him.


    Zhao Feng studied every one of these incidents. Perhaps there were clues regarding the Heaven Mending Race concealed within.


    Afterward, Zhao Feng studied the major incidents that had taken place around Pure Yang Palace through history, but he discovered nothing suspicious.


    "Oh, right, that secret realm from before!" Zhao Feng suddenly recalled that reaction he obtained from the Primal Chaos energy in his God Altar when leaving the Celestial Garden. At that time, he happened to notice a nearby training dimension.


    "Information on the training dimensions of Pure Yang Palace..." Zhao Feng quickly found the books containing this information and began to read through them.


    Pure Yang Palace had thirteen training dimensions targeted at disciples of different levels. The primary goal of a training dimension was to hone disciples and increase their abilities.


    "The Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension, one of the six secret dimensions left behind by Pure Yang Palace''s founding ancestor, targeted at disciples below the Ancient God level..." Zhao Feng quickly found the secret dimension that he saw before.


    The Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension was for those below the Ancient God level. It wasn''t very dangerous, but it was recorded that several True God prodigies of Pure Yang Palace had died within.


    The upper echelon investigated these incidents. There were many cases where the deaths were just from accidents or fighting, but there were also many cases where the cause was unknown.


    Zhao Feng studied the information of all the other secret dimensions and confirmed that the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension was the most suspicious.


    But Zhao Feng did not immediately draw his conclusions; he continued to study the information.


    The next day, Zhao Feng decided to personally search the grounds of Pure Yang Palace for information. Zhao Feng even decided to question the disciples who had entered the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension before.


    Because he was accompanied by the enforcers and elders of Pure Yang Palace, all the disciples answered his questions.


    In the inner sect disciple region of Pure Yang Palace, a golden-robed elder saw Zhao Feng''s face. He immediately grimaced and tried to hide.


    "How could it be him? And he''s together with the enforcers and elders of Pure Yang Palace!" The golden-robed elder was stunned, his expression rather dazed.


    He couldn''t help but think back to his time in the Continent Zone. At the time, he was a dazzling existence, the strongest Demigod of the Continent Zone, Demigod Dragon Emperor. However, his title of strongest was snatched away by Zhao Feng, and the Grand Imperial Hall that he was part of him had its status shaken because of Zhao Feng''s Hall of Gods.


    Upon reaching the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, True God Dragon Emperor wasted nearly ten years before finally getting in touch with his ancestor. He entered Pure Yang Palace, where, under the care of his ancestor, he diligently cultivated. He was currently a Rank Four True God.


    He expected that Zhao Feng might be stronger than him right now, but he hadn''t expected for even the enforcers and elders of Pure Yang Palace to treat him with such reverence. Even if he used his relationship with his ancestor, he would be incapable of threatening Zhao Feng.


    He was unwilling to accept this. That night, True God Dragon Emperor went to find his ancestor. This ancestor had significant status in Pure Yang Palace and was a Rank Eight Ancient God.


    "Ancestor, do you remember the Zhao Feng that I mentioned to you before?" True God Dragon Emperor softly asked.


    An elder with withered hair seated on a raised platform nodded his head but said nothing. He had heard Dragon Emperor talk about this before, but this was an enemy from the Continent Zone and was of little concern to him.


    "I saw him just now in Pure Yang Palace, but he shouldn''t be a member of Pure Yang Palace, and he even seemed to have a good relationship with the enforcers and elders!" True God Dragon Emperor told everything.


    "Enforcers and elders? Zhao Feng?" The elder opened his eyes, a hint of confusion on his face.


    He recently heard that Pure Yang Palace had received an honored guest called Zhao Wang. Today, he had also seen Zhao Wang.


    But his grandson was saying that the person with enforcers and elders was called Zhao Feng. And the mention of Zhao Feng caused the elder to think back to the recent rumors about the Ninth God Eye, Zhao Feng!


    "You say that the person with the enforcers and elders today was called Zhao Feng?" The elder suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with sharp light.


    Someone so young with a God Lord cultivation and extraordinary strength was truly very shocking. Even in a Sacred Land, this was a rare sight.


    "I can''t be wrong. Although his appearance has changed a little from before, he''s definitely Zhao Feng!" True God Dragon Emperor firmly declared.


    Even if he failed to recognize Zhao Feng, he could never fail to recognize that thieving cat at Zhao Feng''s side. True God Dragon Emperor had recently heard that there was a very special cat around Pure Yang Palace, but he never had a chance to see it, so he paid it no attention.


    "Starting from now, you must not bring this matter up with anyone!" the elder sternly said.


    "Why?" True God Dragon Emperor was rather confused. Was Zhao Feng''s status so unusual that not even his ancestor dared to offend him?


    "I have to make a personal trip to the Golden Dragon Sacred Land to inform it of this matter!" A hint of greed appeared in the elder''s eyes.


    Even if he told this matter to the Pure Yang Palace Master, Pure Yang Palace would still be incapable of dealing with Zhao Feng. The Pure Yang Palace Master would definitely tell the Sacred Land of this news, and when the time came, it would be the Pure Yang Palace Master that was rewarded by the Sacred Land.


    If he personally delivered this information to the Golden Dragon Sacred Land, once the Ninth God Eye was captured, he would be the greatest beneficiary, perhaps even getting a chance to join the Golden Dragon Sacred Land.


    "Golden Dragon Sacred Land!?" True God Dragon Emperor was stunned.


    Sacred Lands stood at the precipice of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, occupying transcendent and unreachable positions. From his ancestor''s words, it seemed like Zhao Feng had some connection with the Sacred Land.


    "Just stay in my residence and cultivate in seclusion. Without my permission, you are not allowed to go out!" The elder with withered hair ordered before vanishing.


    True God Dragon Emperor had recognized Zhao Feng, so Zhao Feng would definitely recognize True God Dragon Emperor as well. Thus, he had Dragon Emperor remain inside so that Zhao Feng wouldn''t be alarmed and take flight.


    Based on what he knew, Zhao Feng would stay in Pure Yang Palace for some time, so he needed to deliver this news as quickly as possible.


    After spending a few days in Pure Yang Palace, Zhao Feng went to find the Pure Yang Palace Master.


    You want to take a look around the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension?" The Pure Yang Palace Master was extremely confused.


    The Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension was a training secret dimension for disciples of Pure Yang Palace beneath the Ancient God level. No outsiders had been inside before.


    Was the matter that Zhao Feng was investigating related to the disciples of Pure Yang Palace? Although he was confused, the Pure Yang Palace Master decided that he would open the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension for Zhao Feng.


    After all, Zhao Feng had given him a rather good impression and helped out Pure Yang Palace twice. And the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension was merely a training dimension for True God disciples and wasn''t that valuable to Pure Yang Palace.


    Later that day, the Pure Yang Palace Master gathered the other two God Lords and went to the entrance of the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Spatial ripples appeared on the surface of that gloomy dimension.


    "Soon!" the Pure Yang Palace Master called out.


    Because this was not the time when it was normally opened, there was a great deal of resistance, but nothing unmanageable.


    But at this moment, the God Lords suddenly sensed something.


    "God Lords are approaching Pure Yang Palace - quite a few of them!" Ao Hongguang grimaced and looked to the east. Outside the boundary of Pure Yang Palace:


    "Haha, Pure Yang Palace ends today!" The bull-horned elder heartily laughed.


    "Strike!" God Lord Cloudmoon was getting impatient and immediately cried out.


    Brrrooom!


    Clouds surged, winds roared, and all of Pure Yang Palace trembled.


    The bull-horned elder, God Lord Cloudmoon, and the two other God Lords attacked in unison. Chaotic Divine Power attacks descended upon Pure Yang Palace''s boundary domain.


    A few moments later, the domain shattered. The four God Lords led several dozen Ancient Gods charging into Pure Yang Palace.


    When they entered Pure Yang Palace, they discovered that the God Lords of Pure Yang Palace were in the middle of opening the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension.


    "Shadowstream Peak!" Ao Hongguang gnashed his teeth in anger.


    He was now sure that the two God Lords who had ambushed him were from Shadowstream Peak.


    "Shadowstream Peak, you''ve gotten quite bold to dare intrude on my Pure Yang Palace!" The Pure Yang Palace Master grimaced as he bellowed.


    But the three Shadowstream Peak God Lords were frozen to the spot in shock.


    "You... actually know about the secret of the Heaven Mending Race?" The bull-horned elder was flabbergasted.


    He was just about to deride Pure Yang Palace as incompetent, sitting on top of the Heaven Mending Race''s treasures while knowing nothing about it. One had to realize that the Heaven Mending Race was the 6th ranked mythical race of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Its treasures were undoubtedly extraordinary, and obtaining them would allow an entire faction to rise to a whole new level.


    Of course, he had only recently learned of this news. Thus, he made secret plans to attack and occupy Pure Yang Palace. Although the destruction of a five-star faction would draw the ire of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land, once Shadowstream Peak obtained the treasures of the Heaven Mending Race, its strength would soar, making up for the losses that came with the destruction of Pure Yang Palace. At that point, the Golden Dragon Sacred Land would have no objections.


    But he hadn''t expected that the moment he arrived at Pure Yang Palace, its God Lords were in the middle of opening the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension.


    "Heaven Mending Race? What do you mean?" The three God Lords of Pure Yang Palace were utterly baffled.


    It seems like the secret of the Heaven Mending Race is indeed in the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension! Zhao Feng''s eyes dimmed.


    The intrusion of the Shadowstream Peak experts had upset the peaceful situation, but Zhao Feng was now completely sure that the Heaven Mending Race''s secrets were inside the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension.


    And he was determined to get them.


    "Don''t even think about it!" The bull-horned elder charged forward to stop the opening.


    God Lord Cloudmoon saw the expression on the bull-horned elder''s face, put it together with his words from just now, and basically understood what was going on. The key to obtaining the Heaven Mending Race''s treasures lay in opening this secret dimension.


    "Fight!" The Pure Yang Palace Master gave up on opening the secret dimension and prepared for battle.


    But at this moment, Zhao Feng charged forward.


    Bzzzz!


    A robe emerged over his body, shrouded in a mysterious silver glow. Spacetime Law energy surged forward into the half-open passage into the secret dimension.


    "Brother Zhao, what are you doing?" The Pure Yang Palace Master was stunned.


    Bzzz!


    The passage instantly widened, upon which Zhao Feng, wearing the Spacetime Robe, charged inside.


    Although Pure Yang Palace was in danger, Shadowstream Peak already knew that the secret of the Heaven Mending Race was here. Once this matter got out, Pure Yang Palace would probably no longer be willing to open the secret dimension for Zhao Feng. The situation would get even more complicated, and Pure Yang Palace might even become his enemy.


    It was far better to use this chance to rush inside, take the secrets of the Heaven Mending Race hidden within, and then leave. After all, Pure Yang Palace had treated him rather well, and Zhao Feng had used Pure Yang Palace to find what he was seeking. This method was the simplest and most direct, and it avoided making an enemy of the God Lords of Pure Yang Palace.

 1487 Sent Flying in a Single Move

    Chapter 1487 - Sent Flying in a Single Move


    As Zhao Feng charged into the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension, Pure Yang Palace members still had no idea what was going on. Logically speaking, with Shadowstream Peak attacking, Zhao Feng should have helped them stave off this external foe. Once they pushed back the enemy, Pure Yang Palace could once more assist Zhao Feng in opening the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension. If Zhao Feng fled, the three of them would find it very difficult to deal with the four God Lords of Shadowstream Peak.


    However, to Pure Yang Palace''s surprise, the Shadowstream Peak God Lords did not immediately attack upon arrival.


    "You idiots! You let an outsider into the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension!" The bull-horned elder cursed. Pure Yang Palace had such a precious treasure hidden in its territory, but it knew nothing about it and even let an outsider get access to it.


    "Could there be some secret hidden there?" the Pure Yang Palace Master noticed that something strange was going and asked.


    Zhao Feng had traveled a great distance to reach this place, saying that he needed to investigate something, and in the end, he even rushed into the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension. That, combined with the actions of Shadowstream Peak and everything that had been said just now, made him feel suspicious.


    "Idiot, your Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension might be hiding secrets and treasures of the Heaven Mending Race!" the bull-horned elder yelled, not hiding anything.


    His true goal in attacking Pure Yang Palace was the treasure of the Heaven Mending Race. Destroying Pure Yang Palace was secondary. Now that someone had gotten in the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension ahead of them, they needed to get inside as quickly as possible. Thus, now was not the time to fight to the death with Pure Yang Palace. It would be far too late if their delay caused Zhao Feng to obtain the Heaven Mending Race''s treasures. And the strength of Pure Yang Palace was necessary to open up the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension again.


    For this reason, the bull-horned elder told the secret to Pure Yang Palace.


    "What? The Heaven Mending Race''s treasure?" The Pure Yang Palace Master felt like he had been struck by a thunderbolt.


    The other two God Lords were also rather dazed. The Heaven Mending Race was the 6th ranked mythical race. This race possessed Primal Chaos power, an incredibly powerful energy that had almost no counter. They could have never imagined that a low-level secret dimension would be hiding such a secret.


    Normally, they would have never believed Shadowstream Peak''s words, but Shadowstream Peak had come to attack and then suddenly stopped. Moreover, Zhao Feng had cast aside everything and charged into the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension. After putting everything together, Pure Yang Palace was forced to acknowledge the truth.


    In truth, the Elders of the palace had spoken to them about the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension. They said that True God geniuses had died within, and even though some Elders went inside to investigate, they hadn''t been able to figure out what was going on.


    As God Lords, they were too lazy to care about such trivial matters. At the time, they had even thought the Ancient Gods of the palace to be incompetent, unable to handle such a trifling matter. They never would have expected there to be such a major secret.


    "Hurry and open up the secret dimension again! If you let that kid snatch away the treasure, it seems to me that your Pure Yang Palace will become the joke of the entire Tongtai Zone!" the bull-horned elder coldly derided.


    The Pure Yang Palace God Lords glanced at the Shadowstream Peak group. Although Shadowstream Peak was the one that had told them all this, it was still their sworn enemy, someone they had to be vigilant against.


    In the end, the two factions reached a temporary agreement. Shadowstream Peak would not attack Pure Yang Palace for now, but Pure Yang Palace had to open up the secret dimension and let Shadowstream Peak''s forces go in.


    "All of you withdraw from the territory of Pure Yang Palace!" the bull-horned elder ordered, having all the Ancient God experts of Shadowstream Peak retreat.


    The God Lords of the two factions then joined together to reopen the secret dimension.


    Every time a secret dimension was opened, one would have to wait until one could open the dimension again. Opening a secret dimension twice in one day was extremely difficult. For this reason, all the God Lords of both factions needed to work together to open it again.


    Afterward, the Pure Yang Palace Master took the other two God Lords into his interspatial dimension. The bull-horned elder did the same for the God Lords of Shadowstream Peak and God Lord Cloudmoon.


    This was because once one went through the passage into the secret dimension, one would be randomly teleported. In this way, they would prevent themselves from getting separated.


    "Zhao Wang, I didn''t think you infiltrated our Pure Yang Palace because you sought our treasures. Since that''s the case, this old man won''t be polite!" The Pure Yang Palace Master angrily huffed before rushing into the passage.


    Within the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension, Zhao Feng appeared in a swamp.


    The moment he appeared, the auras of several Rank Five True God beasts came from the swamp down below.


    Rooooar!


    Several black-armored gigantic crocodiles charged out of the black swamp, their bodies emitting black fog as they roared at Zhao Feng.


    Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s Heavenly Closure Seal weakened a little, allowing powerful energy to leak out.


    Sensing this energy, the crocodiles immediately howled and fled back into the swamp, their bodies trembled as they begged for Zhao Feng to spare them.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t be bothered to worry about them.


    "The legacy of the Heaven Mending Race should be hidden inside this secret dimension, but the people of Pure Yang Palace never noticed it. This means that it must be in an extremely well-hidden place!" Zhao Feng conjectured.


    But he was still rather confident in himself when it came to finding treasure.


    Bzzzz!


    Firstly, he sent out his Second Heaven level Divine Sense and began to search. However, this secret dimension was rather large, so Zhao Feng''s Divine Sense could not cover it completely.


    Zhao Feng activated his left eye, using its see-through ability to observe the area.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    He repeatedly blinked around as he began to comb through the dimension, using his Divine Sense and left eye''s see- through ability together.


    But in the end, he found nothing.


    "It seems like I underestimated this treasure''s hiding place." Zhao Feng stopped.


    But there was one other possibility: the intelligence was mistaken. Perhaps there was nothing special about this secret dimension at all. But the possibility of this being true was extremely small.


    "Right, Primal Chaos energy!" Zhao Feng suddenly recalled that his Primal Chaos energy back then had reacted to this place.


    The Primal Chaos energy he had cultivated was extremely similar to the Primal Chaos energy of the Heaven Mending Race. Perhaps he could use it to pin down the location of the treasure.


    Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng extended a hand, and a dark ball of chaotic energy slowly appeared from it.


    The moment this energy appeared, it began to suck in all the surrounding energy.


    Suddenly, the Primal Chaos energy began to flash. At the same time, Zhao Feng felt a pull.


    "It''s over here!" Delighted, Zhao Feng flew in the direction the pull was coming from.


    It didn''t take long before he arrived at a lush mountain forest.


    For some reason, the trees in a certain part of this forest began to suddenly grow faster, so fast that he could actually see them growing. The ground was also rising higher and higher, forming a small mountain slope.


    "Primal Chaos energy, progenitor of all things!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    Primal Chaos energy could devour other energies, but it could also produce energies of different attributes.


    Upon careful observation, Zhao Feng discovered a small spatial fissure deep underground.


    He recalled that this spatial fissure had not been here on his last pass, but releasing his Primal Chaos energy might have created resonance with the Primal Chaos energy within, causing the fissure to widen.


    "It''s down there!" Zhao Feng smiled as he prepared to charge in.


    Suddenly, the earth began to shake, and an immense energy descended.


    Thwish!


    An ethereal moonlight blade shot through the air with incredible speed toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng dodged to the side.


    Boom! Bang!


    The massive moonlight blade left an unfathomably deep fissure in the ground.


    "Haha, this kid is rather capable! He actually found the hiding spot of the Heaven Mending Race''s treasure!" The bullhorned elder heartily laughed as he arrived on the scene.


    With him were three other God Lords, all of them extremely excited.


    "Peak Master, this kid has outstanding strength. He was the one who interrupted us and caused our assassination to fail!" an elder in the team messaged. He still remembered the immense pressure Zhao Feng had exuded as if it had happened yesterday.


    "Hmph, kid, seeing as you found where the Heaven Mending Race''s treasure is, we can spare your life! Get out of here!" The bull-horned elder coldly snorted.


    Their first priority was to get the treasure as quickly as possible. He was confident that Zhao Feng would not choose to fight against such a powerful group.


    "I''ll give you one chance to leave. Otherwise, don''t blame me for being impolite!" Zhao Feng''s face chilled. He should have been able to get in and out without anyone learning what he was up to, but Shadowstream Peak''s appearance had upset his plans.


    Similarly, Zhao Feng''s goal was only to get the legacy. If Shadowstream Peak showed tact and withdrew, he would not pursue.


    "Kid, you''re seeking death!" The bull-horned elder was enraged.


    A mere peak First Heaven God Lord actually wanted four God Lords to withdraw? This was the biggest joke in the world.


    God Lord Cloudmoon had a cold and gloomy expression.


    Thwish!


    She waved her hand once more, sending a moonlight blade streaking through the air. At such a close distance, a typical First Heaven couldn''t possibly dodge. If they didn''t die, they would still pay a heavy price.


    But Zhao Feng had no need to dodge. An unreal silver glow radiated from the Spacetime Robe, blocking the moonlight blade.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Chaos Origin Divine Power and punched, shattering the attack.


    "Junior, you''re rather strong!" God Lord Cloudmoon''s eyes turned grave.


    In the exchange just now, she saw that Zhao Feng possessed extraordinary strength. This was to be expected though, or else Zhao Feng wouldn''t have made such an arrogant demand.


    "Kill!"


    The three God Lords of Shadowstream Peak flew out together, shooting forward in dark streaks of energy and attacking Zhao Feng from three different angles.


    The founder of Shadowstream Peak was a Shadow Race expert, and the majority of Shadowstream Peak''s arts and skills were connected to the Shadow Race.


    "Brat, die!" A silver-gray hook appeared in the bull-homed elder''s hand, exuding a chilling light.


    "Chaos Origin Divine Sword!" Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Power, instantly condensing into a Chaos Origin Divine Sword, which he swung.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two weapons clashed, creating a heaven-shaking explosion.


    But to everyone''s surprise, it was the bull-horned elder who was sent flying backward.


    "How could this be?" The bull-horned elder vomited blood, a look of shock on his face.


    He had never expected that, in his first clash with Zhao Feng, he would be thrown back by overwhelming strength!


    The other three God Lords were also flabbergasted by this scene. The two Shadowstream Peak God Lords who had been preparing to attack suddenly froze, not daring to get any closer.


    The bull-horned elder was the Shadowstream Peak Master and was at the Second Heaven, but even he had been pushed back with a single blow. If they carelessly approached, they would just be seeking death.


    They were currently counting themselves rather lucky that, when they were chasing Ao Hongguang, they had decided to retreat rather than fight to the death with Zhao Feng. They didn''t dare to imagine what would have happened if they had chosen otherwise.


    God Lord Cloudmoon''s expression became unprecedentedly calm as she stared at Zhao Feng. One blow had sent a Second Heaven expert flying, and the one who had done the deed was just a peak First Heaven. Just where did this person come from?

 1488 Three-Tiered God Altar

    Chapter 1488 - Three-Tiered God Altar


    With a single blow, Zhao Feng had pushed back the Shadowstream Peak Master and intimidated all the other God Lords. Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Power came from the fusion of his Spacetime Law with many kinds of Intents. It could easily crush the Divine Power of a Second Heaven God Lord.


    God Lord Cloudmoon''s expression became unprecedentedly calm as she stared at Zhao Feng. One blow had sent a Second Heaven expert flying, and the one who had done the deed was just a peak First Heaven. Just where did this person come from?


    Zhao Feng''s identity as the Ninth God Eye had been exposed in the Chixing Zone in the southeast, but the Tongtai Zone was on the western edge of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, extremely far from the center. Many people here only knew that the Ninth God Eye had appeared, but they did not know any specifics.


    "This kid is very powerful! He can''t be allowed to get the Heaven Mending Race''s treasure!" The Shadowstream Peak Master''s face tensed.


    On the other end, God Lord Cloudmoon had the same idea.


    Although Zhao Feng''s one strike had pushed back the Shadowstream Peak Master, as this was the first clash, the Shadowstream Peak Master had not used his full strength. One could even say that he had been careless.


    Now that they had some understanding of Zhao Feng''s strength, they naturally wouldn''t hold back. If they all worked together, they would definitely be able to push back Zhao Feng.


    Gradually, the three God Lords of Shadowstream Peak gathered around God Lord Cloudmoon.


    God Lord Cloudmoon was a Second Heaven God Lord who was actually somewhat stronger than the Shadowstream Peak Master. Shadowstream Peak only had leadership because it had three God Lords.


    "Still not willing to leave?" Zhao Feng raised a brow.


    It seemed like the allure of the Heaven Mending Race''s treasure was truly very large. Even though he had shown off a little of his strength, he still wasn''t able to scare them away.


    Since that was the case, he would give them an even harsher lesson!


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng suddenly vanished, leaving only spatial ripples in the air.


    "Careful! He''s on the offense!" God Lord Cloudmoon immediately called out.


    The other three immediately tensed. They had four God Lords on their side, but Zhao Feng remained fearless, even choosing to attack them.


    "Illusion Cloud Slash!" God Lord Cloudmoon stood in the center, wildly swinging around the Cold Moon Saber in her hand.


    Bzzzz! Hwoosh!


    The world suddenly seemed to turn into a moonlit night, but there was a chilling killing intent lurking in the background. In the darkness, countless illusory crescent blades were flying back and forth.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng immediately swung his Chaos Origin Divine Sword, extinguishing all obstacles in his path.


    Swooosh!


    The three God Lords of Shadowstream Peak used their secret arts, and countless black shadows immediately charged out of the darkness to surround Zhao Feng.


    "Is this the secret art of Shadowstream Peak, Shadowkill Mantra?" God Lord Cloudmoon''s eyes flashed.


    The Shadowkill Mantra of Shadowstream Peak could create special attacks from all shadows and dark objects to invisibly kill enemies. Ordinary Divine Power attacks of the same level would just pass through these shadows without having much effect.


    Hwoooo!


    The countless shadow spikes shrieked through the air as they converged on Zhao Feng.


    "Chaos Heaven Black Hole!" Zhao Feng harnessed his Chaos Origin Divine Power and formed a distorted black hole.


    Zhao Feng could easily deal with the attacks of one God Lord. However, four God Lords working together represented significant firepower, and the attacks of Shadowstream Peak were rather special, so Zhao Feng decided to use his defensive skill.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    As these attacks landed, they were all gradually dispelled by the distortion.


    "What a powerful defensive skill! It was actually able to block the power of the Shadowkill Mantra!" The Shadowstream Peak Master was stunned.


    He had never before seen any kind of power that could so completely counter the Shadowkill Mantra. He had no idea that Zhao Feng''s Chaos Origin Divine Power was not countered by any kind of power. In other words, it could somewhat counter almost all energies.


    Thwish!


    Within the Chaos Heaven Black Hole, Zhao Feng was invisible, obliterating all the attacks in his path.


    "Get out of the way!" God Lord Cloudmoon immediately called out.


    The four of them working together couldn''t even break through Zhao Feng''s defenses. How could they fight like this? And in terms of speed, not even the Shadowstream Peak God Lords, who were skilled in concealment and movement, could match Zhao Feng.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng slashed his sword at a First Heaven God Lord.


    Bzzz!


    This middle-aged God Lord had a pitch-black body that seemed to be made of liquid. It was rather similar to another expert with the Shadow Race bloodline that Zhao Feng had encountered.


    The secret skill of this bloodline could greatly reduce the damage inflicted by an attack, but Zhao Feng''s Divine Power attacks were so powerful that a First Heaven God Lord could do little to reduce its power.


    The sheer power of the Chaos Origin energy and its distorting and devouring nature wiped out the life of this First Heaven God Lord of Shadowstream Peak, his body shattering into bits and scattering.


    "Run!" God Lord Cloudmoon and the Shadowstream Peak Master shivered and immediately fled. If they had been the target of Zhao Feng''s sword, they would have either died or been heavily injured.


    Zhao Feng did not pursue. His primary goal was to find whatever the Heaven Mending Race had left here.


    "How could he be this powerful? What do we do?" the remaining First Heaven God Lord of Shadowstream Peak fearfully asked.


    "His Divine Power is simply too formidable. It can even counter our Shadowstream Peak''s secret arts!" The Shadowstream Peak Master was extremely unwilling to give up.


    "His Divine Power is rather similar to the Heaven Mending Race''s Primal Chaos power. Could he be an inheritor of the Heaven Mending Race?" God Lord Cloudmoon had an astounding theory.


    "That''s possible. How else would he have known that a treasure of the Heaven Mending Race was hidden here, and how else would he have found its location so quickly?" The Shadowstream Peak Master grimaced as he firmly concluded.


    Their conjectures resulted in Zhao Feng being mistaken for a Heaven Mending Race descendant.


    At this moment:


    Swishs wishs wish!


    The sound of three newcomers approached from the distance. The three God Lords of Pure Yang Palace swiftly arrived, and when they saw the Shadowstream Peak group, they were taken aback.


    The Pure Yang Palace Master recalled that Shadowstream Peak had come with four God Lords, so why was one missing? And the other members of Shadowstream Peak didn''t seem to have very good complexions.


    Upon being questioned, the Shadowstream Peak Master explained what had happened and their current hypothesis. The three Pure Yang Palace members were similarly shocked. Was Zhao Feng really a member of the Heaven Mending Race?


    "Old fellow, why don''t we work together? Otherwise, we''re no match for that kid!" the Shadowstream Peak Master looked to the Pure Yang Palace Master and asked, his eyes bright.


    He had so openly revealed what had happened precisely because he had this idea in mind.


    "Pure Yang Palace is truly rather timid. Even though an outsider is about to steal your possessions, you''re still so frightened." The other God Lord added fuel to the flames.


    "Okay, I agree!" The Pure Yang Palace Master agreed without hesitation.


    He truly didn''t want to hand over the treasures of the Heaven Mending Race without a fight.


    When the combined party of Pure Yang Palace and Shadowstream Peak reached the location of the treasure, they discovered that the dimension had already closed. Of course, the six God Lords naturally had the power to blast their way into that dimension.


    "Hold on. Let that kid open the way for us. If he encounters anything bad, the treasure will still be there for us to take. If he gets the treasure, we''ll just ambush him and take the treasure off his body!" The Shadowstream Peak Master revealed a cunning and sinister expression.


    The other God Lords nodded in agreement. The Shadowstream Peak Master''s plan truly was rather good. Thus, the six God Lord decided to wait in ambush.


    The Shadowstream Peak Master, who was skilled in the art of ambush, personally laid the trap.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was traveling through that small spatial fissure into that mysterious dimension that had been hidden for countless years.


    It was dark and gloomy in this dimension, and strands of Primal Chaos energy would occasionally flit by. These strands of Primal Chaos energy varied in strength; the weakest were on the same level as someone who had just become a God Lord while the strongest were at peak Third Heaven, and even Zhao Feng had to dodge them.


    It was also because of this Primal Chaos energy that Zhao Feng could not spread out his Divine Sense very far and had to slowly make his way forward.


    "It seems like, when too much Primal Chaos energy accumulates in this dimension, some of it leaks out from that fissure. Those ordinary True Gods from Pure Yang Palace training in this place have no means of resisting this power and are probably instantly killed," Zhao Feng conjectured. And because this energy leakage was only temporary, the Ancient Gods who came to investigate couldn''t find anything.


    As he pressed forward, Zhao Feng discovered that the energy in his body was being drained away. He was forced to circulate his Chaos Origin Divine Power.


    That devouring energy that came from elsewhere immediately weakened, but at the same time, this gloomy dimension became more chaotic. The Primal Chaos energy within became much more lively and began to shoot back and forth.


    And far in the distance, there was a dim flash of light.


    "Over there!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    Zhao Feng sensed that the item he was searching for was in that direction.


    This dimension was brimming with Primal Chaos energy and was extremely chaotic. Even his left eye''s see-through ability was hindered and disrupted here.


    Zhao Feng remained wary as he slowly got closer. The closer he got, the stronger the devouring energy became. Even Zhao Feng was finding it rather difficult to resist it.


    Gradually, a massive domed building appeared in front of him. This was a grandiose, ancient, and mysterious building.


    With Zhao Feng''s experience, he could naturally tell that this was no ordinary building, but a God Altar - a three-tiered God Altar! This three-tiered God Altar was somewhat damaged, but there were still profound principles of the world carved into it¡¯ and Primal Chaos energy that left even Zhao Feng frightened still flowed within it.


    "A God Altar?" Zhao Feng was rather disappointed. Although a Third Heaven God Altar was a priceless treasure, what he needed the most right now was an art!


    At this moment, a dim glow suddenly arose from the God Altar.


    "Junior, you''re actually disappointed? Are you looking down on this old man?" An elderly and unhappy voice came from the God Altar.


    This gave Zhao Feng a rather bad fright. He speculated that this God Altar had been here for hundreds of millions to billions of years, but he hadn''t expected for there to be anything alive within it.


    Primal Chaos energy surged out of the massive God Altar, forming a savage and mighty beast that was rather similar to a qilin.


    Roooooar!


    The dark qilin roared. All the Primal Chaos energy in the dimension trembled as it came under the qilin''s control.


    "Junior, if you can''t deal with this, you have no right to obtain what is in this place, and there is no need for you to go back alive either!" The voice within the God Altar spoke once more.


    Zhao Feng''s expression darkened, but he said nothing. A three-tiered God Altar meant that its owner was at least a Third Heaven God Lord, perhaps even a God King.


    As he was in another person''s territory, Zhao Feng decided that it was best to do as the other party said. In addition, he might be able to obtain an art from this God Lord.


    The qilin roared before lunging at Zhao Feng. A vast sea of Primal Chaos energy came surging down.


    This dark Qilin possessed vast quantities of pure Primal Chaos energy, and its cultivation level was at peak Second Heaven. Ordinary peak First Heavens would be powerless against it and could only be beaten to death.

 1489 Paramount Scripture

    Chapter 1489 - Paramount Scripture


    This dark qilin possessed vast quantities of pure Primal Chaos energy, and its cultivation level was at peak Second Heaven. Ordinary peak First Heavens would be powerless against it and could only be beaten to death.


    From this, one could tell that the mysterious being hidden in the God Altar had been watching Zhao Feng from the moment he entered this dimension. This other party had conjectured that Zhao Feng''s strength was at most that of a peak Second Heaven God Lord. Thus, it had created a Second Heaven Yao God imbued with Primal Chaos energy.


    "Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword!" The Chaos Origin Divine Power in Zhao Feng''s hand gathered into a broad sword that crackled with Tribulation Lightning energy.


    When confronting this sort of enemy, Zhao Feng would not be careless.


    "Oh? You can even fuse in Tribulation Lightning energy?" The curiosity of the voice in the God Altar was piqued.


    In truth, the fact that Zhao Feng, who did not have the Heaven Mending Race bloodline, was able to cultivate something so similar to Primal Chaos energy left him rather astonished.


    Roooooar!


    The dark qilin howled and spat out a dark ball of twisted energy that shot toward Zhao Feng with incredible speed.


    There was little skill in this attack. It was just a ball of condensed Primal Chaos energy fired at high speed. However, the traits of Primal Chaos energy made this attack immensely powerful nonetheless.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng began to rapidly move around the chaotic dimension.


    Although this dimension was filled with Primal Chaos energy, Zhao Feng was wearing the Spacetime Robe, which contained two Ancestral Artifact fragments, so the effects of this energy were greatly reduced. As a result, Zhao Feng could still move around this dimension at high speed.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The dark and twisted ball of energy passed by Zhao Feng and impacted against the ground in a thunderous explosion. Thwish!


    As he was dodging the dark qilin''s attacks, Zhao Feng was searching for any weakness in his foe.


    He rapidly approached the dark qilin and slashed down with his Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Swoosh!


    The sword left a wound on the dark qilin''s back.


    However, the dark qilin was not a living being, but a technique being used by someone else. Primal Chaos energy surged into the wound and gradually healed it.


    Primal Chaos energy was also extremely resistant to Tribulation Lightning energy.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng cared little and began to search for other opportunities to assault the dark qilin.


    Although the dark qilin possessed Primal Chaos energy, it was merely an attack technique, so it lacked the intelligence and flexibility of a living creature. Zhao Feng also had the advantage in speed, so the dark qilin could only passively defend.


    Gradually, as more and more of the dark qilin''s Primal Chaos energy was consumed, its recovery speed became incapable of keeping up with Zhao Feng''s damage.


    "Senior, if I win, shouldn''t you agree to give your junior some reward?" Zhao Feng even had the time to smile and chat. There was nothing to fear about the dark qilin now.


    Laughter came out of the God Altar, but no answer to Zhao Feng''s question.


    Just when Zhao Feng was preparing to ask again, suddenly, Primal Chaos energy surged out of the God Altar and into the dark qilin. All the wounds on the dark qilin were healed, and its body grew somewhat larger, radiating a terrifying aura.


    "This..." Zhao Feng took in a deep breath.


    The mysterious being in the God Altar had healed the dark qilin and increased its strength.


    When confronting this dark qilin, Zhao Feng even felt like he was facing Beiming Hui - Beiming Hui when he was not using his Heaven Mending Race bloodline.


    "This... I''ll thoroughly exterminate you!" Zhao Feng focused his eyes, and the power of his Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword increased.


    Swish!


    He activated the Spacetime Robe, the energy of the Spacetime Law emerging so that Zhao Feng could move even faster.


    "Eh!?" A surprised shout came from within the three-tiered God Altar.


    In truth, he had only strengthened the dark qilin to intimidate Zhao Feng - to show him that the legacy left here was incomparably precious and not something Zhao Feng could look down on. He believed that he had already seen all of Zhao Feng''s strength, not that Zhao Feng had been holding back. Thwish!


    In a flash of light, Zhao Feng approached the dark qilin, formed a second Chaos Origin Tribulation Lightning Sword, and slashed down with both.


    Fwooosh!


    At the same time, the dark qilin fiercely attacked Zhao Feng, firing off one ball of chaotic energy after another. At such a close distance, not even Zhao Feng could dodge these fast-moving balls of energy.


    Bzzzz! Booom!


    Chaos Origin Divine Power surged and Tribulation Lightning energy was unleashed. A pitch-black hole crackling with white lightning quickly took form around Zhao Feng. With the Chaos Heaven Lightning Vortex, Zhao Feng was able to stave off most of the damage from the dark qilin and continue his assault.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was both offensively and defensively formidable, and he also possessed incredible speed. Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The dark qilin was soon on the back foot, constantly being beaten down.


    Just when Zhao Feng was getting excited, the qilin formed from Primal Chaos energy suddenly fell apart. At the same time, the nearby three-tiered God Altar began to flash with dazzling radiance.


    "You''re very strong! You win this battle!" An imposing elderly phantom slowly emerged from the center of the God Altar.


    "A Remnant Will?" Zhao Feng immediately understood the nature of this existence.


    Remnant Wills were just thoughts. At most, they would contain some of the memories and knowledge of their master, but they wouldn''t be that powerful.


    The Remnant Will had merely used the Primal Chaos Divine Power within the God Altar for that technique, and this was the limit of the Remnant Will''s power.


    If Zhao Feng was allowed to continue wearing it away, the Remnant Will would have also begun to weaken. And if it left the God Altar, the Remnant Will was capable of doing even less.


    "Hmph, don''t look down on a Remnant Will! If this old man is willing, I can detonate the power of the God King God Altar and take you down with me!" The God King Remnant Will coldly snorted, unable to accept Zhao Feng''s disregard.


    Zhao Feng''s mind trembled. The former owner of this God Altar was actually a God King. He also did not doubt that the God King Remnant Will had the power to detonate the power within the God Altar.


    However, this Remnant Will had waited here for long because it was naturally waiting for a successor. It would not so easily destroy everything.


    "Although you are not a member of the Heaven Mending Race, it is very rare for someone to cultivate a Divine Power so similar to Primal Chaos energy. You satisfy the requirements for the legacy!" Seeing that Zhao Feng had been properly cowed, the God King Remnant Will continued, "And this old man has also seen your talent through the battle just now!"


    It turned out that the battle with the dark qilin was a test. The test was extremely easy for Zhao Feng, but it would probably have been excruciatingly difficult for anyone else.


    "So does that mean that Junior can inherit everything that was Senior''s?" Zhao Feng smiled and asked. He actually hoped that this God King Remnant Will would have some memories of the art its master once cultivated.


    You''re right on that point. However, you actually have Destruction Dragon Race energy on you...?" The God King Remnant Will carefully examined Zhao Feng.


    "Destruction Dragon Race?" Zhao Feng''s eyes froze, and then he suddenly remembered a few things.


    In the Ancient Era, the Heaven Mending Race was a pacifistic race. It traveled around the Fan Universe to repair the holes in space. Meanwhile, the Destruction Dragon Race lived for destruction, a species that derived energy from heedless annihilation. Thus, the two races had rather deep grudges against each other.


    Zhao Feng''s heart tightened. He had been together with the Black Destruction Dragon all this time, and the Black Destruction Dragon was in the Spacetime Robe Dimension right now. Would he lose out on the legacy because of something like this?


    Although he had a greater desire for the art, the God King level God Altar alone was also a priceless treasure. Even a Sacred Land would be enormously tempted by it.


    At this moment, within the Spacetime Robe, the little thieving cat opened its mouth. Gradually, the Destruction Dragon Race energy within the Spacetime Robe faded away, as did the energy on Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Junior previously fought with a Destruction Dragon Race expert," Zhao Feng supplemented.


    He truly had battled with the Destruction Dragon Race God Lord Tyrant Dragon before.


    "Mm, you were able to find this place and satisfy the requirements. I can fulfill my master''s wish and pass on the Paramount Scripture to you!" The God King Remnant Will nodded and did not continue arguing.


    He had waited for so long for someone like Zhao Feng to arrive, and Zhao Feng possessed astonishing strength and talent, even leaving someone with his memories and experiences amazed.


    "Paramount Scripture?" Zhao Feng was startled. The legacy here was apparently different from what he imagined.


    "Paramount Scriptures are arts a level higher than top-class divine-level arts. Even the best top-class divine-level arts can only be cultivated to peak Second Heaven, but Paramount Scriptures can last all the way to the God King level!"


    The God King Remnant Will saw that Zhao Feng was confused and began to explain.


    It''s an art? Zhao Feng was inwardly ecstatic.


    He was not familiar with the concept of Paramount Scriptures because Paramount Scriptures were extremely special existences.


    "Paramount Scriptures cannot be directly transferred to others, nor can they be recorded using ordinary methods. It often requires immense expenditure to completely preserve and fuse the Paramount Scripture into the soul of the successor," the God King Remnant Will continued.


    This also meant that obtaining a Paramount Scripture was probably accompanied by the death of a God King.


    Besides that, if one wanted to obtain a Paramount Scripture, one would have to watch as the God King performed the art, and what the God Lord might comprehend would depend on their own talent and luck.


    "To think that it would be like that!" Only now did Zhao Feng understand just how precious a Third Heaven God Lord art was. It was no wonder why the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Protector had not agreed to Zhao Feng''s request.


    "Haaa, when Master was still alive, he was a God King with a hope of obtaining the title of God..." The God King Remnant Will sighed.


    With the successor found, his mission was complete.


    "A God?" Zhao Feng''s mind was shaken. It seemed like he had underestimated the former master of this God Altar.


    The God Lord level consisted of Three Heavens, and only when one reached completion of the Third Heaven could one be considered a God King. However, there was no end to the path of martial arts, and it was fraught with countless variables. There were some people who were constantly able to get stronger and overcome themselves. Thus, these people were granted the title of "God," taking their place among the strongest of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    There were two paths to becoming a God.


    The first was to possess a complete Ancestral Artifact. A complete Ancestral Artifact contained the Origin energy of the Fan Universe. When one fused one''s own energy with this power, one would ascend to a whole new level of power and become a God.


    The second path was to achieve perfection in two Laws and then perfectly fuse them together into an even stronger power. But comprehending even one Law completely was incredibly difficult, let alone two, and then one had to fuse them together on top of that.


    "As long as I can obtain the Paramount Scripture, I will not let your master down. I will embark on the path to Godhood!" Zhao Feng calmly said, his voice brimming with confidence.

 1490 Primal Chaos Scripture

    Chapter 1490 - Primal Chaos Scripture


    "As long as I can obtain the Paramount Scripture, I will not let your master down. I will embark on the path to Godhood!" Zhao Feng calmly said, his voice brimming with confidence.


    "Kid, you seem a little too confident." The God King Remnant Will couldn''t help but smile.


    Not even in ancient times had he ever heard of a First Heaven God Lord so firmly proclaiming that they would become a God. Not even those Second Heaven God Lords with superb talent dared to say such things.


    But the God King Remnant Will did not speak in a tone that completely rejected the possibility. He was only a Remnant Will, so his eyesight might not be as accurate, but he sensed that there was something extraordinary about this youth.


    "Before handing over the Paramount Scripture to you, I will first assist you in sealing the Primal Chaos energy within this God Altar into your body." The God King Remnant Will returned to the main topic.


    The inheritance of the Paramount Scripture was actually just him and the God Altar. Once Zhao Feng obtained the Paramount Scripture, he would vanish. Thus, before this happened, there were other things that he needed to do.


    Although the three-tiered God Altar was rather damaged, there was still some God King level Primal Chaos energy, which was incredibly valuable.


    "God King level Primal Chaos energy!" Zhao Feng''s heart thumped.


    This God King had died many, many years ago, and the amount and quality of this Primal Chaos energy was far inferior to what it was when he was alive.


    But again, it was still God King level energy. In the future, when Zhao Feng reached the Third Heaven, he would be able to absorb and comprehend this energy, further increasing his chances of becoming a God King.


    "I must trouble Senior!" Zhao Feng gratefully said.


    The God King Remnant Will proceeded to help Zhao Feng seal the remaining Primal Chaos energy in the God Altar within Zhao Feng''s body, next to his own God Altar.


    "While cultivating the Paramount Scripture, you can comprehend this Primal Chaos energy, which will help with your cultivating speed," the God King Remnant Will added.


    This God King level Primal Chaos Divine Power was extremely profound, and it contained the understanding left behind by the God King. If he found any difficulties in cultivation, he could even absorb some of it and directly break through the bottleneck.


    "If you truly reach the God level, then I would like it if you can avenge my master by killing someone!" The God King Remnant Will revealed a hint of loathing.


    "I will do all I can." Zhao Feng did not dare guarantee anything.


    After all, anyone who could become a God King was not so easily killed. This God King''s enemy was undoubtedly someone difficult to deal with.


    Swish!


    The God King Remnant Will waved his hand, and dim screen appeared, upon which was a hunchbacked old man.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race Protector!" Zhao Feng was startled.


    He had never imagined that this God King''s death would be related to the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    It was no wonder the little thieving cat had not showed its head the moment they entered this place. If the God King Remnant Will saw the Heaven''s Legacy Cat, it would be very strange if it decided to pass the legacy on to Zhao Feng. There would probably even have been a chance that it would detonate the remaining Primal Chaos energy to kill Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng also had a rough estimate of the Protector''s level. In the Heaven''s Legacy Race, someone who could stand above the Divine Emissaries, could not possibly be weak. Of course, Zhao Feng had probably not even seen the entirety of the Heaven''s Legacy Race back there.


    In short, this was a race that could not be underestimated.


    "Although Master was not killed by this person, he was the one with the greatest involvement!" The God King Remnant Will had to spend some time remembering before finally saying this.


    After all, it was only a Remnant Will. After all the time that had passed, he truly did not remember much.


    After a long while, the Primal Chaos energy in the God Altar was sealed next to Zhao Feng''s God Altar. Now, it was time for the main event!


    "Junior, continue the Paramount Scripture of God King Chaos Spirit!" The God King Remnant Will stared at Zhao Feng. His mission had come to an end.


    God King Chaos Spirit was probably his master.


    Bzzzz!


    The God King Remnant Will fused with the three-tiered God Altar down below. The entire God Altar turned into twinkling star lights that flowed into Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng stood motionless, sensing everything that was going on. Gradually, all kinds of information and understandings appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind, so many that Zhao Feng didn''t have time to read through them.


    "Eh? This energy...!" Within the God Altar, the God King Remnant Will called out in surprise.


    As he was passing the Paramount Scripture on to Zhao Feng, he could sense the situation in Zhao Feng''s soul.


    Zhao Feng''s Lightning Soul Body wasn''t anything much to him, but the Ninth God Eye...! While imprinting the Paramount Scripture, the God King Remnant Will discovered that only Zhao Feng''s left eye was a forbidden zone that he could not see into.


    The energy of a God Eye! The Ninth God Eye?" The master of this Remnant Will was a God King who had seen God Eye Deities before, so he was somewhat familiar with this kind of energy.


    "It seems like I really did misjudge you. Even without the Paramount Scripture, you would have eventually become a God!" The God King Remnant Will gave an understanding chuckle.


    At this point, the majority of Zhao Feng''s mind was on the Paramount Scripture.


    Countless profound understandings and information were emerging in his mind. And Zhao Feng realized that this information was fusing with his soul, deeply embedding itself upon it. This also meant that, if Zhao Feng wanted to pass on this information to anyone else, his soul would suffer severe damage.


    "No wonder the Paramount Scripture can''t be passed on through ordinary methods." Zhao Feng finally understood.


    The God Altar in the chaotic dimension disappeared bit by bit, the information in Zhao Feng''s mind becoming more and more complete. At a certain point, the three-tiered God Altar and the God King Remnant Will utterly vanished.


    "Primal Chaos Scripture?" The contents of the Paramount Scripture in Zhao Feng''s mind were clear and complete.


    The Primal Chaos Scripture contained cultivation methods that took one from the First Heaven all the way to the God King level.


    When first cultivating, one could swiftly condense Primal Chaos energy. Of course, this was only the nascent form of Primal Chaos energy. As one cultivated more, the Primal Chaos energy would evolve.


    Primal Chaos energy could produce the myriad things and could counter the myriad things. It was one of the supreme kinds of energy in the universe.


    According to the words of God King Chaos Spirit, if one cultivated this art to perfection, evolving it into its final form, one could produce a sliver of Primal Chaos Origin.


    At present, Zhao Feng could not understand what the difference between Primal Chaos energy and Primal Chaos Origin was. Perhaps it was just a difference in level. Of course, he would naturally understand once he reached that point.


    Other than the method to cultivate Primal Chaos energy, the Primal Chaos Scripture also contained many combat skills and secrets of the Heaven Mending Race, making it unfathomably valuable.


    Without another word, Zhao Feng sat cross-legged on the floor and began to cultivate.


    In order to establish a good foundation, Zhao Feng chose to start cultivating from the First Heaven God Lord portion.


    For the first step, Zhao Feng took the sliver of Primal Chaos energy he initially had and began to refine it. A few moments later, this sliver of Primal Chaos energy had been successfully fused into Zhao Feng''s Divine Power.


    Now, even without using the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, Zhao Feng would still have a sliver of Primal Chaos energy in his Divine Power. Now, he needed to convert all his Divine Power into Primal Chaos energy.


    Zhao Feng cultivated in the Spacetime Robe for five years, but in the outside world, only ten-some days had passed.


    "I''ve already converted eighty percent of my Divine Power into Primal Chaos energy!" Zhao Feng opened his eyes.


    Zhao Feng had not gotten much stronger in this entire process. After all, his Chaos Origin Divine Power was also extremely powerful. Now that he was converting his Divine Power to Primal Chaos Divine Power, he could not overlap it with Chaos Origin Divine Power. He was essentially abandoning it.


    But once Zhao Feng had completely converted his Divine Power into Primal Chaos Divine Power, it would be much stronger than Chaos Origin Divine Power. And it had far greater potential than Chaos Origin Divine Power!


    At eighty percent, further conversion would be somewhat difficult, so Zhao Feng decided to end his seclusion.


    This chaotic dimension used to be maintained through the power of the God King''s God Altar. Now that the God Altar and the Primal Chaos Divine Power within it had vanished, this dimension had become unstable and would not exist for long.


    In the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension, in a certain mountain forest, several God Lords were hiding.


    Shadowstream Peak had lost one God Lord, so each side now had three God Lords.


    The six God Lords had hidden themselves extremely well. Various True God level beasts had ambled past them without even noticing.


    "Why hasn''t that kid come out yet? Could he have died?" The Pure Yang Palace Master and the Shadowstream Peak Master messaged each other.


    It had been ten-some days since Zhao Feng had ventured into that hidden dimension.


    "We''ll wait five more days. If that kid still doesn''t come out, we''ll break our way in and see what''s going on!" The Shadowstream Peak Master had a dim expression.


    In truth, he preferred Zhao Feng taking out the treasure with him. If Zhao Feng died inside, it would mean that it was incredibly dangerous within. Even if the six of them worked together, they would find it very difficult to get the treasure inside.


    Bzzz!


    At this moment, powerful spatial ripples came from deep underground. The six God Lords completely concealed themselves, their hearts thumping in impatience.


    Swish!


    A silver figure shot out of the ground, accompanied by a torrent of chaotic energy.


    "To be welcomed here by the God Lords of two five-star factions, this Zhao is truly honored!" Zhao Feng scanned the area and chuckled.


    "He actually sensed us!?" The Pure Yang Palace Master was startled.


    "Forget about it! Do as we planned!" the Shadowstream Peak Master messaged all the other God Lords.


    "Shadowtwist Array!"


    The shadows on the ground writhed, transforming into countless black thorns that assembled into a special array, and began to rapidly enclose on Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, the three Pure Yang Palace God Lords appeared in the sky.


    Kaboom!


    Scorching red flames erupted from their bodies, dying the entire world red.


    "Pure Yang Palm!" The three God Lords used a secret technique of Pure Yang Palace, condensing their energy into three massive fiery palms that hurtled toward the ground.


    Under this power, the mountain forest was instantly wiped out, leaving only Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, the Shadowstream Peak Master and God Lord Cloudmoon approached from the east and west.


    "Illusion Heaven Wispy Cloud Slash!" God Lord Cloudmoon waved her Cold Moon Saber, releasing a vast cloud of mist. Within this mist, countless illusory moonlight blades howled out.


    The Shadowstream Peak Master was also forming one of his killing moves. The silver claw in his hand created five black spikes that tore through the air toward Zhao Feng.


    In a flash, the ambush that six God Lords had put all their focus and effort into was triggered. The world rumbled as endless killing intent converged on Zhao Feng.


    A Second Heaven God Lord would be doomed, and even a peak Second Heaven would only manage to survive with heavy injuries.


    "I''ve spared your dog lives once, but it seems that you don''t know what''s good for you and have come to send yourself to death." In the face of these attacks, Zhao Feng remained cool and indifferent, even a little annoyed.

 1491 Unbridled Killing

    Chapter 1491 - Unbridled Killing


    The world rumbled as endless killing intent converged on Zhao Feng.


    "I''ve spared your dog lives once, but it seems that you don''t know what''s good for you and have come to send yourself to death." In the face of these attacks, Zhao Feng remained cool and indifferent, even a little annoyed.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex!" Zhao Feng used his Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy to form a pitch-black hole that crackled with lightning around himself.


    The quality and devouring property of Primal Chaos energy was much greater than Chaos Origin Divine Power. For this reason, the defensive capabilities of this technique were also improved.


    Boom! Bang!


    A downpour of attacks came down. Within the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex, Zhao Feng could sense the powerful Divine Power attacks converging on him, but he had absolute confidence in his defensive skill.


    Whoosh!


    When the dust settled, a pitch-black hole crackling with lightning appeared at the center of the explosion, its surface covered in small cracks. Through these cracks, the Pure Yang Palace and Shadowstream Peak God Lords could see that Zhao Feng was completely unharmed.


    "How could this be? Not even this can wound him?" The Shadowstream Peak Master was stunned beyond belief.


    This was a supreme assault that gathered up the strength of six God Lords, three of them being Second Heaven God Lords, but they were still not able to wound Zhao Feng.


    "This should be a life-saving defensive skill! He shouldn''t be able to keep it up for long!" God Lord Cloudmoon conjectured.


    The situation made so little sense that this was the only theory she could come up with. This pitch-black hole had to be some life-saving measure of Zhao Feng''s that couldn''t be used for long or else had some side effect.


    "Zhao Wang, I didn''t think that you would sneak into Pure Yang Palace so that you could steal away what belongs to my Pure Yang Palace!" the Pure Yang Palace Master suddenly roared, his voice brimming with righteousness.


    "This is a legacy left by the Heaven Mending Race. It has nothing to do with your Pure Yang Palace, so how could I have stolen it?" Zhao Feng sneered.


    The Pure Yang Palace Master''s statement would only be true if that God King expert who left behind the legacy had some connection to Pure Yang Palace, but the God King of the 6th ranked Heaven Mending Race clearly didn''t have any relationship to Pure Yang Palace.


    The Shadowstream Peak Master inwardly sneered. The Pure Yang Palace Master was actually treating the treasure of the Heaven Mending Race as Pure Yang Palace''s?


    But the Shadowstream Peak Master still decided to message the Pure Yang Palace Master; "If we let this kid take away the treasure, Pure Yang Palace won''t be able to show its face in the Tongtai Zone!"


    The Shadowstream Peak Master had an even greater desire for the Heaven Mending Race''s treasure. He had made meticulous plans, even paying a great price to request God Lord Cloudmoon''s aid. Shadowstream Peak had now even lost a God Lord. If it still obtained nothing from this venture, its decline was inevitable.


    "Zhao Wang, you came out alive, so I presume that you obtained some sort of treasure. If you are willing to hand a part of it over, my Pure Yang Palace will stop bothering you." The Pure Yang Palace Master naturally would not be provoked by the Shadowstream Peak Master. Instead, he tried to make a compromise.


    As long as Pure Yang Palace could retain a portion of the treasure, it would still have some dignity. Moreover, Zhao Feng had displayed immense strength and definitely had an unusual background. Pure Yang Palace had no desire to offend him.


    "What? A bunch of good-for-nothings!" The Shadowstream Peak Master grimaced. The Pure Yang Palace Master was actually trying to compromise!?


    God Lord Cloudmoon''s expression also darkened. If Zhao Feng and Pure Yang Palace made peace, they would be the ones in danger.


    "This was something I obtained through my own power. There''s no need for me to give it to you. And besides, I have no way of handing it over." Zhao Feng firmly refused.


    If Pure Yang Palace had demanded some other kind of resource or treasure, he might have been able to fulfill their request. However, Zhao Feng had no way of handing over the Heaven Mending Race''s legacy.


    The Primal Chaos Scripture was a Paramount Scripture, so it could not be directly passed on to others. As for the sealed Primal Chaos energy, it was too powerful. If he handed it over, Pure Yang Palace might go back on its word and use this power against Zhao Feng, causing him to suffer a major loss. Moreover, Zhao Feng had some need for the Primal Chaos energy, and it could serve as one of his trump cards. Besides that, it could speed up his progress through the path of cultivation.


    "Brother Zhao, there''s no need for this!" Ao Hongguang sorrowfully sighed. He also did not want to make an enemy of Zhao Feng.


    As long as Zhao Feng handed over a part of the legacy, the two sides could turn from enemies into allies, upon which Pure Yang Palace''s opposition, Shadowstream Peak, would suffer a heavy blow.


    "Haha, Pure Yang Palace is truly useless. Unwilling to take back your own things, you lower yourself by asking for peace, and then you''re rejected!" At this moment, the First Heaven God Lord from Shadowstream Peak added some fuel to the fire.


    "Kill!" The Pure Yang Palace Master felt utterly humiliated, and he bellowed, his eyes cold and sharp.


    The Shadowstream Peak Master evilly laughed as he charged out with the other God Lords. The six God Lords charged forward, the three Second Heavens in front and the three First Heavens in the rear.


    "Illusion Heaven Wispy Cloud Slash!" God Lord Cloudmoon swung her Cold Moon Saber, creating ethereal moonlight blades.


    The Shadowstream Peak Master waved his silver hook, firing off black spikes.


    As for The Pure Yang Palace Master, he transformed into a fiery war god whose palms launched one giant fireball after another.


    Behind them, the three First Heaven God Lords used their own powerful attacks.


    The vast temptation of the Heaven Mending Race''s treasure had the six God Lords attacking with everything they could.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted, the Spacetime Robe flapping.


    Swish!


    Black draconic flames shot forward, transforming into a savage and evil dragon several thousand feet long.


    "Destruction Dragon Breath!" The Black Destruction Dragon spat out black balls of Destruction Flame.


    Zhao Feng stood above it, a Primal Chaos Divine Sword in his hand, which he swung here and there.


    The two of them working together succeeded in destroying the majority of the attacks. The remainder struck the Black Destruction Dragon''s immense body, where they produced little effect.


    "This is... Destruction Dragon Race!" The Pure Yang Palace Master stared at the Black Destruction Dragon and shivered.


    The others were also stunned. They had previously conjectured that Zhao Feng was a descendant of the Heaven Mending Race, and now, he had produced a Destruction Dragon Race assistant.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng roared, upon which the Black Destruction Dragon charged forward.


    The Destruction Dragon Race''s bloodline heavily suppressed the bloodline power of the six God Lords.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!" Black flames seethed off the Black Destruction Dragon''s transforming into two dragons of fire that circled around it and destroyed any oncoming attacks.


    On its head, Zhao Feng swung the Primal Chaos Divine Sword, firing off bolts of Primal Chaos energy.


    The formation of the six God Lords was instantly thrown into disarray.


    "A good chance!" Zhao Feng shot forward toward the First Heaven God Lord of Shadowstream Peak.


    The black-robed elder''s body froze when he saw Zhao Feng coming over, and then he began to retreat. Zhao Feng''s power had left a deep impression on his mind. In a one-on-one, he was doomed!


    "Don''t even think about it!" The Shadowstream Peak Master, God Lord Cloudmoon, and the Pure Yang Palace Master immediately rushed over. The six of them were already incapable of holding down Zhao Feng; if they lost another person, they would be even more hard-pressed.


    "None of you can stop me!" Zhao Feng''s eyes exploded with killing intent.


    Bzzz!


    The Spacetime Robe unleashed Spacetime ripples that pulsed through his surroundings. Everything around Zhao Feng instantly began to move more slowly.


    Those people who wanted to stop Zhao Feng moved slower, as did the black-robed elder who was trying to flee. As for Zhao Feng, he actually got faster, streaking toward the side of the black-robed elder.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Primal Chaos Divine Sword pierced through the black-robed elder''s chest, its destructive power blasting apart his divine body.


    Slain in a single blow!


    "Brat, you actually killed him!?" The Shadowstream Peak Master almost went insane.


    Shadowstream Peak only had three God Lords originally, and now, two of them had been killed by Zhao Feng, making him the only one left.


    Whoosh!


    The three Second Heaven God Lords surrounded Zhao Feng, preparing to use this chance to deal Zhao Feng a severe blow.


    "Seeking death!" Zhao Feng immediately went up to meet them, a pitch-black sphere forming around him.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    All the attacks that got close were worn down by the devouring and Tribulation Lightning energies. The remaining power in these attacks was incapable of doing anything to the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    Wielding the Primal Chaos Divine Sword, Zhao Feng charged at God Lord Cloudmoon.


    "He can actually repeatedly use such a powerful defensive technique?" God Lord Cloudmoon was stupefied.


    Thwish!


    A hazy and illusory cloud rapidly took form around God Lord Cloudmoon, and she began to move around, her position ever-changing. She had no idea that there was no way she could escape Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng slashed down, accurately striking God Lord Cloudmoon''s body. God Lord Cloudmoon''s robes were torn open, exposing her fair skin and gouging out a massive wound. Moreover, this wound was extremely difficult to heal, and energy was rapidly draining out of her divine body.


    A single sword slash sufficed to heavily wound God Lord Cloudmoon.


    "Run!" Only now did God Lord Cloudmoon realize that Zhao Feng was simply too powerful.


    Zhao Feng hadn''t even used his full strength until now. Otherwise, she and the Shadowstream Peak party would have already been wiped out. However, realizing this now was a little too late.


    Another bolt of Primal Chaos energy flew over. Unable to dodge, God Lord Cloudmoon used a secret defensive technique to condense an ethereal shield on her back.


    Boom! Bang!


    But the defensive skill she used in her haste was incredibly fragile under the power of Primal Chaos. Crack! It shattered to pieces.


    "Save me...!" Her back drenched in blood, God Lord Cloudmoon plunged to the ground.


    Seeing as God Lord Cloudmoon was about to die to Zhao Feng, the Pure Yang Palace Master and Shadowstream Peak Master rushed to save her.


    But Zhao Feng had the advantage in speed and his supreme defensive skill. Their attacks were only a minor itch to Zhao Feng.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng dropped down and threw out the Primal Chaos Divine Sword, which pierced through God Lord Cloudmoon''s divine body. This Primal Chaos Divine Sword absorbed the energy of the world and then exploded, carving out a gigantic crater in the earth.


    God Lord Cloudmoon died without even leaving a corpse!


    At this moment, another scream came from the other side. "Aaaah...!"


    The Black Destruction Dragon, with an unstoppable momentum, had torn to pieces a God Lord of Pure Yang Palace.


    The Black Destruction Dragon was already at the God Lord level, and its Destruction Dragon Race bloodline allowed it to fight against Second Heaven God Lords. Two First Heaven God Lords were simply no match for it.


    "How could this be?" As one God Lord after another was slain, the Pure Yang Palace Master was frozen to the spot, a hint of despair on his face.


    Six God Lords had failed to do anything to Zhao Feng. On the contrary, Zhao Feng had turned around and killed three of them. The only ones left were him, the Shadowstream Peak Master, and Ao Hongguang. What could they possibly do to Zhao Feng?


    The Shadowstream Peak Master was also left dumbfounded by this sight. Fear was creeping through his heart, and his hands were faintly trembling.

 1492 Golden Dragon Sacred Land

    Chapter 1492 - Golden Dragon Sacred Land


    Only the Pure Yang Palace Master, Ao Hongguang, and the Shadowstream Peak Master remained.


    The Shadowstream Peak Master and The Pure Yang Palace Master had lost all will to fight, their minds crumbling in despair. Their group of six had been halved. How could the rest of them deal with Zhao Feng?


    If time could be reversed, the Pure Yang Palace Master would definitely have not chosen to fight with Zhao Feng.


    In the distance, Ao Hongguang was on the verge of death, about to be killed by the flames of the Black Destruction Dragon.


    "Let''s stop here," Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    The Black Destruction Dragon immediately stopped, and the heavily injured Ao Hongguang immediately fell back. "What?" The Shadowstream Peak Master was astonished. Their deaths were assured, so why would Zhao Feng stop?


    Ao Hongguang and The Pure Yang Palace Master were also astonished.


    "Let''s end the matter here. If there''s a next time, I will completely annihilate Pure Yang Palace and Shadowstream Peak," Zhao Feng spoke in an emotionless tone, and he emphasized every word of his final threat.


    He did not delight in killing people, so he would let these three people go for now.


    If he had used his full strength, he could have killed them all from the very start. Zhao Feng had already reached his goal, so his first priority was to get out of here as quickly as possible.


    Although he was letting these people go, their factions had suffered a severe blow to their fighting power, ensuring that they would not fare well in the future.


    The leaders of the two five-star factions immediately rejoiced, but at the same time, they inwardly trembled as they warned themselves to never provoke someone like this again. Otherwise, an entire five-star faction might end up being destroyed.


    Swish!


    With a wave of the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng collected the Black Destruction Dragon and flew away.


    With his Space Law, Zhao Feng found the entrance and flew through it.


    Swish!


    A moment later, Zhao Feng appeared at the entrance to the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension within the territory of Pure Yang Palace.


    But a moment later, incredibly oppressive and formidable ripples of Divine Power descended upon him, immediately putting Zhao Feng on guard. In the sky, a dragon covered in golden tattoos coiled in the sky, the energy radiating from it turning the entire world gold.


    "Not good, an ambush!" Zhao Feng inwardly trembled as he activated the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    But his foe had clearly been waiting for some time and had come prepared.


    Boom! Bang!


    The golden dragon roared and then charged down so quickly that there was barely any time to react. The Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex erected in haste was twisted and crushed by this golden dragon.


    Boom! Bang!


    As the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex shattered, Zhao Feng was sent flying out, the blood and energy in his body roiling while his face paled.


    He immediately spotted five figures floating in the distance. Two of them were at First Heaven, two were at Second Heaven, and the man with golden skin covered in dragon tattoos was a Third Heaven God Lord!


    Zhao Feng did not recognize these five, but these five clearly recognized him.


    "Eh?" One of the First Heaven God Lords was rather surprised. Not only was Zhao Feng not heavily injured, he didn''t appear that injured at all.


    At this moment:


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    The remaining three members of the party that had ventured into the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension emerged, confused and surprised looks on their faces. When they saw the five God Lords in the sky, they instantly paled.


    "God Lord Golden Emperor!" the God Lords of the two five-star factions called out in respect.


    God Lord Golden Emperor was a Third Heaven God Lord of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land.


    They belonged to factions beneath this Sacred Land, so when they saw the Third Heaven God Lord Golden Emperor, they naturally had to bow.


    But they were rather shocked. How did God Lord Golden Emperor know about the Heaven Mending Race legacy hidden here? Otherwise, why would a Third Heaven God Lord from another faction come here?


    "Zhao Feng, hand yourself over!" God Lord Golden Emperor ignored the Pure Yang Palace Master and the others, his eyes focused only on Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng?" The Pure Yang Palace Master and Ao Hongguang were startled.


    They had guessed that Zhao Feng was concealing his true name, but the name Zhao Feng was extremely familiar. The Ninth God Eye!


    A moment later, they came to a stunning realization and stared in shock at Zhao Feng. As it turned out, the God Lords of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land had not come for the Heaven Mending Race legacy, but for the Ninth God Eye.


    "Could he be the holder of the Ninth God Eye?!" the Pure Yang Palace Master blurted out in surprise.


    The Eight Great God Eyes were known as Gods within the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The appearance of the Ninth God Eye meant that another God would join them.


    In their minds, Gods were transcendent and unreachable existences. They never would have imagined that the youth they had been fighting with was the holder of the Ninth God Eye, a possible God.


    But in the battle just a moment ago, Zhao Feng had not used any sort of eye power. Perhaps they didn''t even the ability to force Zhao Feng into using his eye powers.


    Far away in Pure Yang Palace, True God Dragon Emperor''s eyes were wide open, his body faintly shivering.


    "Just... just what sort of terrifying experts did the ancestor call over to deal with Zhao Feng?!" True God Dragon Emperor was only a Rank Four True God. He couldn''t see clearly, and all he could sense was a heaven-shaking energy in the distance. If he got any closer, the aftershocks of energy would probably annihilate him.


    Zhao Feng licked the blood at the corner of his lips.


    "Hand myself over? That all depends on whether you have the skills!" Zhao Feng''s expression was cold. He could naturally tell that they had come for the Ninth God Eye.


    He had only been injured by God Lord Golden Emperor just now because he was caught off guard. In a proper battle, Zhao Feng was not guaranteed to lose.


    Back in the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Divine Kingdom, he was able to exchange a few blows with Beiming Hui. After leaving the Divine Kingdom, he had completed the cultivation of his art, found a Paramount Scripture, and had even fused two Ancestral Artifact fragments with his Spacetime Robe. He was much stronger now than he was back then. Zhao Feng was confident that he could fight with a Third Heaven God Lord!


    "If you submit and hand over the Ninth God Eye, we might be able to spare your life!" God Lord Golden Emperor coldly threatened.


    "Haha, submit? You ambushed me! I don''t plan to just let that go!" Zhao Feng loudly laughed as he soared into the air.


    Bzzzz!


    At this moment, the Heavenly Closure Seal on his body was completely undone. His hair gradually gained a dazzling silver luster, radiating a rainbow of colors as it wildly danced in the air. His left eye shone with a dazzling dreamy luster that had a hypnotic effect on others.


    Bzzz! Boom!


    Energies of all kinds began to converge around Zhao Feng as he madly absorbed it all.


    "What? He actually dares to challenge a Third Heaven God Lord!?"


    "Even if he has the Ninth God Eye, he''s only a peak First Heaven. He can''t possibly be a match for God Lord Golden Emperor!" The Pure Yang Palace Master and Ao Hongguang gasped in shock.


    In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, a Second Heaven challenging a Third Heaven was incredibly rare, and a First Heaven challenging a peak Third Heaven was simply unheard of.


    "Haha, even if you have the Ninth God Eye, you''re a little too arrogant." Rather than being angry, God Lord Golden Emperor smiled.


    Thwish!


    Suddenly, he vanished, a dazzling golden light shooting toward Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, the entire Pure Yang Palace began to tremble. Those Ancient Gods watching from extremely far away were sent flying, and quite a few True Gods simply exploded.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    Dark Primal Chaos energy was unleashed. Zhao Feng gripped a Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword while surrounded by a Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    Now that he was facing a Third Heaven God Lord, he held nothing back.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two collided, causing the entire world to tremble and fierce gales to rip through their surroundings.


    The two God Lords of Pure Yang Palace used all their defensive techniques to protect as much of the foundation of Pure Yang Palace as possible.


    Bang!


    After this clash, Zhao Feng backed up several steps. His Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex was slightly deformed, but it quickly recovered.


    On the other side, God Lord Golden Emperor was flabbergasted.


    "This is all a Third Heaven God Lord amounts to?" A sneer appeared on Zhao Feng''s lips as he looked at God Lord Golden Emperor. He had estimated his own strength correctly; the current him was completely capable of exchanging blows with a Third Heaven God Lord.


    On the other side, the four other God Lords of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land were stunned.


    In the first clash between God Lord Golden Emperor and Zhao Feng, they were even, neither side having the upper hand!


    The Pure Yang Palace Master and Shadowstream Peak Master were even more stupefied.


    "Junior, you''re too arrogant. You only blocked seventy percent of my strength. I admit that I underestimated you, but you won''t get a second chance...!" God Lord Golden Emperor angrily grunted.


    In truth, he had used almost one hundred percent of his strength, but Zhao Feng still blocked him. He only said such things to preserve his dignity.


    But he wouldn''t give Zhao Feng any more chances.


    Hwoooo!


    Golden light erupted from behind him as the two Second Heaven God Lords appeared. One of the Second Heaven God Lords, a well-endowed woman, was a peak Second Heaven, and the golden tattoos on her body gleamed with a noble aura.


    With three God Lords this time, would Zhao Feng still be able to fight back?


    "Kill!" God Lord Golden Emperor angrily roared.


    Although Zhao Feng had blocked one of his attacks, he was still absolutely confident in his ability to defeat Zhao Feng.


    But what they needed was to capture Zhao Feng and take the Ninth God Eye. Thus, he used his subordinates so that Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to escape.


    Whoosh!


    The three God Lords of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land shot forward in three streaks of golden light to surround Zhao Feng. In the face of such a force, Zhao Feng would be hard-pressed fighting alone.


    "Come out!" A black-scaled man, a silver-eyed handsome youth, and a cat came out of the Spacetime Robe.


    The members of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land were taken aback. Although Zhao Feng''s subordinates each had their own unique traits, their cultivation levels were too low. None of them had reached Second Heaven, so they weren''t worth worrying about.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng called out, and then he charged at God Lord Golden Emperor.


    Zhao Kong was responsible for dealing with the weaker Second Heaven God Lord. This was somewhat difficult for him, but as he had the Eye of Spacetime, he had the greater speed, ensuring that he wouldn''t die.


    The Black Destruction Dragon and the little thieving cat were responsible for dealing with the peak Second Heaven woman.


    Brrrooom!


    Various kinds of Law energy rippled forth, throwing the world into disarray.


    All the disciples of Pure Yang Palace had retreated a vast distance. Those that hadn''t retreated were already dead. "Zhao Feng, these subordinates of yours are only seeking death!" God Lord Golden Emperor jeered.


    The Golden Dragon Sacred Land truly did have the advantage in this battle.


    Bzzzz!


    A golden bolt formed in his hand, dragon carvings flashing upon it.


    Zhao Feng suddenly slashed with his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    With each clash, the energies of a Spacetime Law and a Light Law would scour the surrounding region.


    After ten-some exchanges, Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Divine Sword was getting stronger and stronger, able to go blow for blow with God Lord Golden Emperor''s fierce attacks.


    To think that this kid would have such power! God Lord Golden Emperor was internally rather shocked. Zhao Feng being able to block one blow could have been because he had used all his power, but if he was able to continue fending him off over the course of the battle, did this not mean that Zhao Feng was about as strong as he was?


    Boom!


    God Lord Golden Emperor''s face twisted in rage. His bloodline power erupted in dazzling golden light, the images of golden dragons flashing within it.


    After activating his bloodline, God Lord Golden Emperor instantly became even stronger.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng was instantly pushed back several steps. His Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword trembled, a crack appearing on it. Although God Lord Golden Emperor''s bloodline was only in the top twenty, it was still extremely powerful.


    Bzzzz!


    As Zhao Feng had already been recognized, he now used the Dream God Eye without fear, a dreamy luster appearing upon it.


    "Dreamification!" Harnessing his Origin energy, he began to release clouds of dreamy mist from his left eye. The world before Zhao Feng instantly became a dreamy paradise.

 1493 Major Battle Against a Third Heaven

    Chapter 1493 - Major Battle Against a Third Heaven


    After Zhao Feng activated his Dream God Eye and used Dreamification, the surrounding region became covered in dreamy and dazzling colors.


    Zhao Kong, the little thieving cat, and the Black Destruction Dragon were not faring very well. Thus, Zhao Feng needed to gain an advantage on his side. Otherwise, the hopes of winning this battle would be very slim.


    Now that God Lord Golden Emperor had activated his bloodline, Zhao Feng decided to use the power of his Dream God Eye.


    "This... what''s going on?" God Lord Golden Emperor was startled. At this moment, he felt like his mind and energy were all being influenced so that he was not at his peak state.


    "A special ability of the Ninth God Eye?" God Lord Golden Emperor focused his eyes on Zhao Feng''s left eye. An eye that could be called a God Eye was undoubtedly extraordinary.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng focused on God Lord Golden Emperor. "Disappear!"


    As he circulated Thought power, this intense thought appeared in his mind. In a flash, the phenomena produced by God Lord Golden Emperor''s bloodline began to slowly disappear.


    He suddenly felt extreme danger and that his body was inexplicably losing strength. It was as if his body was popping out of existence like so many bubbles.


    "If this continues... I''m done for!" God Lord Golden Emperor began to panic. If he didn''t do something, he might even be killed by Zhao Feng.


    Although he couldn''t comprehend the abilities of Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye, God Lord Golden Emperor unleashed various kinds of energy and techniques to resist them. In the end, he discovered that his bloodline energy and Law energy could resist the power of the Ninth God Eye.


    Bzzzz!


    By fully activating his bloodline and unleashing Law energy, God Lord Golden Emperor was able to block Zhao Feng''s mysterious ability and gradually recover. However, he had to constantly fight back against this power, which caused his expenditure of bloodline and mental energy to rapidly soar.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng''s gaze chilled as he shot toward God Lord Golden Emperor.


    Zhao Feng had expected for his Dreamification to be blocked. After all, his opponent was a Third Heaven God Lord with a high-level bloodline and a late-stage understanding of his Law. However, Zhao Feng''s Dreamification still restrained and weakened God Lord Golden Emperor.


    Zhao Feng used this chance to launch a blistering assault. He shot up to God Lord Golden Emperor and swung the Primal Chaos Lightning Tribulation Sword.


    "Junior, I said before, even if you have the Ninth God Eye, you can''t do anything to me!" God Lord Golden Emperor''s expression turned serious as he swung the golden spike in his hand.


    "Spacetime Barrier!" Zhao Feng activated his Spacetime Robe, causing an unreal silver radiance to appear around him.


    The restraining energy of the Spacetime Law engulfed God Lord Golden Emperor''s surroundings, further limiting his abilities, causing his thoughts and movements to slow down.


    "Spacetime Law!?" God Lord Golden Emperor was alarmed. Zhao Feng was a mere First Heaven, but he actually possessed two powerful Laws?


    Under the double restraint of Dreamification and the Spacetime Law, God Lord Golden Emperor could only use seventy percent of his power.


    Kacrack!


    Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Tribulation Sword dodged God Lord Golden Emperor''s attack and struck his body. The Primal Chaos Lightning Tribulation energy left a bloody wound on God Lord Golden Emperor''s body.


    But this was not the end; another Primal Chaos Lightning Tribulation Sword formed in Zhao Feng''s other hand so that he could keep up the assault.


    "Ah...!" God Lord Golden Emperor screamed as he hastily used a secret art. Golden dragon images emerged around him, forming into a spherical barrier that somewhat blunted Zhao Feng''s attacks.


    On the other side, the two First Heaven God Lords of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land were stunned.


    "Lord Golden Emperor?"


    "How could our lord be wounded by Zhao Feng?!"


    The two God Lords were flabbergasted, having never expected such a result.


    The other two Golden Dragon Sacred Land God Lords who were in battle against Zhao Feng''s subordinates were also extremely shocked.


    "No wonder it''s the Ninth God Eye! To think that it would be this powerful!" The peak Second Heaven woman with golden tattoos sighed in wonder.


    Down below, the Shadowstream Peak Master and Pure Yang Palace Master were also stunned. They never would have imagined that Zhao Feng would be capable of wounding a Third Heaven God Lord!


    But this was only possible while Dreamification was being maintained. Dreamification consumed enormous amounts of energy, and it consumed more the more powerful its target was.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was compelled to stop this eye-bloodline technique. The world gradually regained its usual color, and God Lord Golden Emperor was free from the effects of Dreamification.


    But by now, God Lord Golden Emperor had been struck by Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Tribulation Swords multiple times, and his body was covered in wounds. Even after Zhao Feng stopped Dreamification, God Lord Golden Emperor was no longer at his peak state.


    "Zhao Feng, when I''m done with you, you''ll long for death!" God Lord Golden Emperor''s face was cold and harsh. With a wave of his right hand, he produced a golden dagger.


    The golden dagger was only a supreme-quality divine artifact, but it was imbued with a hint of Law energy.


    Kaboom!


    Suddenly, the golden dagger exploded with golden radiance that illuminated the heavens.


    "Golden Radiance Dragon Thrust!" God Lord Golden Emperor bellowed, upon which the golden dagger transformed into a golden ray of light circled by nine golden dragons.


    Swish! Bang!


    The golden ray exploded forward, its formidable momentum causing the world to shake and groan.


    "God Lord Golden Emperor has been completely enraged...." Zhao Feng muttered.


    God Lord Golden Emperor had probably just used his supreme killing technique. Even Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex would find it very difficult to block.


    God Eye Illusory Oblivion!


    Zhao Feng once more activated his left eye, sending dreamy mist spiraling out. Everything in his vision became dim and lightless, except the golden dragon ray, which was painted in dreamy hues.


    As he circulated his Thought power, he concentrated on a single thought. A moment later, the front of that golden ray partially vanished.


    "What?" God Lord Golden Emperor was frightened out of his wits. Why had part of his attack suddenly vanished? "Extinguish!" Origin energy fiercely radiated from Zhao Feng''s left eye, and his Thought power was gathered.


    Whoosh!


    The energy of Illusory Oblivion was immediately strengthened. This time, the golden dragon ray completely vanished!


    "How could this be?" God Lord Golden Emperor was stupefied. His own attack had inexplicably vanished. This was simply too absurd.


    But this was not even the end of the absurdity.


    God Eye Duplication: Golden Radiance Dragon Thrust! Zhao Feng''s left eye suddenly dimmed.


    At the same time, a massive silver eye radiating a rainbow of colors appeared behind God Lord Golden Emperor. A dreamy mist began to appear around the silver eye.


    Boom!


    Suddenly a golden ray of light imbued with a heaven-shaking momentum shot out of the dreamy mist and toward God Lord Golden Emperor.


    "This... impossible!" God Lord Golden Emperor''s face was frozen in shock. Zhao Feng had somehow used his own supreme technique!


    But imminent danger caused him to immediately cast aside the questions in his mind.


    Boom!


    Divine Power exploded forth as God Lord Golden Emperor used his defensive technique, once more surrounding himself in a dragon barrier. At the same time, the enormous image of a Divine Kingdom shrouded his body.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Golden Radiance Dragon Thrust struck, sending a destructive shockwave sweeping through the region. More than half of Pure Yang Palace was instantly obliterated, left in complete shambles.


    The members of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land who were battling with the little thieving cat and Zhao Feng''s other subordinates couldn''t help but turn in shock toward God Lord Golden Emperor.


    Whoosh!


    As the golden light dispersed, a blackened and wounded figure appeared in the center of the explosion.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll definitely make your life so miserable that you''ll be begging for death!" God Lord Golden Emperor stared at Zhao Feng, his face twisted in savagery. Golden blood flowed out of his divine body, slowly healing his wounds.


    "Lord Golden Emperor!" the two First Heaven God Lords called out in alarm. They never would have expected for God Lord Golden Emperor to suffer such a severe blow from Zhao Feng. If this operation failed, the Golden Dragon Sacred Land would lose all of its pride and dignity.


    Hwoooo!


    The two First Heaven God Lords began to move. They knew that Zhao Feng was powerful, so they chose to fire off long-distance attacks to support God Lord Golden Emperor.


    "Seeking death!" Zhao Feng focused his eye, which once more exploded with dazzling colors.


    God Lord Golden Emperor''s heart tightened. The abilities of the Ninth God Eye had truly left him rather scared.


    "Intrusive Dream!" Zhao Feng swiftly created a Dream Dimension and stared with his left eye. The two First Heaven God Lords, incapable of resisting, were drawn into Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension.


    As a Third Heaven, God Lord Golden Emperor was more resistant to this power. God Lord Golden Emperor discovered that the eyes of the two First Heaven God Lords had become dim and unfocused.


    "What''s going on?" God Lord Golden Emperor sensed that something was wrong and put all his strength into resisting the pull of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Boom! Bang!


    A moment later, countless wounds suddenly appeared on the two God Lords behind him, and in the end, their divine bodies and souls exploded into bits.


    God Lord Golden Emperor felt his hairs stand on end. Those two First Heaven God Lords were extremely far away from Zhao Feng, but with just a stare, those two God Lords exploded, dead in both body and soul. Even more frightening was that God Lord Golden Emperor had not been able to stop it or even understand what was going on.


    Whoosh!


    As God Lord Golden Emperor was overcome by fear, Zhao Feng once more shot forward. God Lord Golden Emperor was at his weakest state, and he could not be given a chance to catch his breath.


    Within the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex, Zhao Feng wildly flailed the Primal Chaos Lightning Tribulation Sword.


    "You brat, what did you do just now?" God Lord Golden Emperor was still frightened over what he had just witnessed. Thwish!


    The Spacetime Robe waved, sending out a blade of Time energy.


    While the two Ancestral Artifact fragments were inside the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng could still use them to fire off attacks.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    God Lord Golden Emperor used the golden dagger to fend off Zhao Feng''s torrent of attacks, but he still had not recovered from the damage inflicted by Zhao Feng''s God Eye Duplication. And Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos energy had a devouring attribute that made it stronger as the battle went on.


    "If this continues... I''ll be in a bad spot!" As Zhao Feng came with wave after wave of attacks, God Lord Golden Emperor finally began to reach his limit. If this continued, his injures would only worsen.


    God Lord Golden Emperor clenched his teeth and began to flee.


    "Want to leave?" Zhao Feng coldly snorted and flew off in pursuit.


    "Lord Golden Emperor!" the two Golden Dragon Sacred Land expert fighting with Zhao Feng''s subordinates called out in alarm.


    The Third Heaven God Lord Golden Emperor had actually been defeated by Zhao Feng and was trying to escape!

 1494 Fleeing in Despair

    Chapter 1494 - Fleeing in Despair


    "Lord Golden Emperor!" the two remaining God Lords of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land called out in alarm


    The Third Heaven God Lord Golden Emperor had actually been defeated by Zhao Feng and was trying to escape!


    Down below, the Shadowstream Peak Master and Pure Yang Palace Master appeared petrified, unable to speak. Even a Third Heaven God Lord was no match for Zhao Feng. When they thought back to their previous actions, they were simply suicidal.


    Besides the God Lords, a few of the powerful Ancient Gods and half-step God Lords of the Pure Yang Palace could see the battle, and they were also too stunned to speak.


    Thwish!


    God Lord Golden Emperor did not completely leave. Instead, he continued to circle around the area. This was because he was not willing to admit that he had been defeated and wanted to salvage the situation. As long as he had a few moments to catch his breath and recover, he could still turn the table.


    But the heavily-injured him was much slower than Zhao Feng.


    Swishswishswish!


    During the pursuit, Zhao Feng swung the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword again and again, unleashing wave after wave of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy. Zhao Feng doggedly pursued God Lord Golden Emperor, not giving him any chance to breathe.


    Although he had defeated God Lord Golden Emperor, he had primarily done so through the Dream God Eye. Just now, he had used Dreamification, Intrusive Dream, God Eye Illusory Oblivion, and God Eye Duplication in a row. The Dream God Eye had been sustained for a rather long period of time, and the God Eye Duplication had duplicated the supreme killing technique of a Third Heaven.


    Thus, he would not get arrogant and tightly pursued God Lord Golden Emperor.


    "Golden Dragon Barrier!" God Lord Golden Emperor clenched his teeth and used his defensive skill to block Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos attacks.


    "Spacetime Execution!" The Spacetime Robe flapped, an unreal silver blade shooting out of it.


    This special move of the Light Race had a powerful piercing ability that was only further empowered when bolstered by the Space Law. This unreal silver-white blade passed straight through God Lord Golden Emperor''s Golden Dragon


    Barrier. Although the silver-white blade''s power was somewhat weakened, it was not too greatly affected.


    Plush! Swish!


    As the blade passed through God Lord Golden Emperor''s body, it inflicted immense damage on both his divine body and soul.


    "This is... an attack of the Light Race!" God Lord Golden Emperor was extremely experienced and immediately recognized the attack.


    One of the Ancestral Artifact fragments in Zhao Feng''s possession was part of the Light Race Ancestral Artifact, so it could naturally use such an attack.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng continued the pursuit, unleashing Spacetime Law energy while swinging down the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword again and again.


    "Ah...!" God Lord Golden Emperor''s screams rang out through the air.


    He could no longer worry about so much and immediately messaged the other two God Lords.


    On the other end, the two God Lords of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land cast aside Zhao Kong, the little thieving cat, and the Black Destruction Dragon, and went to help God Lord Golden Emperor. Zhao Kong''s group was the weaker side of this entire battle, so throwing them off was not difficult.


    "Junior, stop now, or else you''ll regret this!" one of the Second Heaven God Lords threatened.


    "Hmph!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted. The only way he would feel regret is if he showed mercy. The Golden Dragon Sacred Land had attacked without a single word to try and seize his Ninth God Eye, so there was no need for him to be merciful.


    Thwish!


    As his gaze chilled, he fired off a miniature Primal Chaos Divine Sword from his left eye that pierced through God Lord Golden Emperor''s body.


    Under these consecutive attacks, God Lord Golden Emperor had fallen to less than half of his peak strength. His injuries were also incredibly severe and would need some time to recover from.


    "Seeking death!" The woman with golden tattoos snapped her whip, which created a golden dragon that lunged at Zhao Feng.


    "It looks to me that you''re the ones who are seeking death!" Zhao Feng suddenly turned his cold eyes on the woman and golden-robed elder.


    Thwish!


    Ripples appeared in the air as Zhao Feng teleported to the side of the golden-robed elder.


    God Lord Golden Emperor was a Third Heaven, and though Zhao Feng could defeat him, killing him was more difficult. However, this golden-robed elder was only a Second Heaven God Lord.


    Kill!


    As that broad Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword swept down, the golden-robed elder immediately paled and prepared to retreat, but the Spacetime Law greatly restrained him, making him incapable of dodging.


    "Don''t even think about it!" The woman with golden tattoos immediately moved to stop Zhao Feng.


    Meanwhile, God Lord Golden Emperor swiftly retreated to recover from his injuries.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex!" Zhao Feng circulated Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex energy and Tribulation Lightning energy, forming a pitch-black vortex crackling with lightning to block the woman''s attack.


    The sword continued to swing down. The golden-robed elder''s pupils constricted as he punched again and again, unleashing gigantic golden spheres of energy. However, his Divine Power attacks were unable to shake Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword, and some of their energy was even absorbed.


    As that sword descended, the image of a Divine Kingdom appeared around the elder.


    Boom! Bang!


    The sword slashed, cutting a chunk out of the Divine Kingdom and causing it to tremble. The golden-robed elder flew backward, vomiting blood. Although Zhao Feng had not destroyed his Divine Kingdom, he had already inflicted immense damage.


    But Zhao Feng was not done yet, and he continued his pursuit.


    Bzzzz!


    His left eye fired off a Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword that pierced through the elder''s body.


    Zhao Feng had such powerful Soul Intent that, even though this golden-robed elder had developed his own formidable will over his long life, he was still unable to endure Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique.


    His face turned ghastly pale as his body plunged to the ground.


    Boom! Bang!


    With another sweep of the Primal Chaos sword, the elder was dead!


    "Dead?" In the distance, God Lord Golden Emperor paled.


    He had planned for these two God Lords to hold down Zhao Feng while he rested. Once he recovered, he could join with them to attack Zhao Feng. But in the end, a Second Heaven God Lord had swiftly been killed!


    "It''s your turn now!" Zhao Feng turned his attention toward the woman with golden tattoos.


    "No...!" After seeing her comrade killed, the woman was stricken with fear. In a duel, she did not doubt that Zhao Feng would swiftly kill her.


    "Junior, stop!" God Lord Golden Emperor charged forward. God Lord Golden Emperor had not managed to heal many of his injuries, so Zhao Feng completely ignored him and attacked the woman. He knew what Zhao Feng was up to, but he could not let Zhao Feng succeed!


    The Black Destruction Dragon, the little thieving cat, and Zhao Kong arrived at this time. They followed Zhao Feng''s orders and surrounded the woman.


    Zhao Feng used the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex to stave off God Lord Golden Emperor while he attacked the woman with golden tattoos.


    The Pure Yang Palace Master and Shadowstream Peak Master quietly watched from a distance.


    "Another one is dead. Zhao Feng has essentially earned the death penalty from the Golden Dragon Sacred Land!" The Pure Yang Palace Master''s heart was trembling in unease.


    These were experts of a Sacred Land, and a Sacred Land meant that there was a God King expert presiding.


    "Hmph, so what if it''s the death penalty? As long as Zhao Feng understands restraint, in a few thousand years, he''ll be a God King himself...." The Shadowstream Peak Master couldn''t help but grunt.


    From the moment Zhao Feng had killed the first God Lord from the Golden Dragon Sacred Land, the two had entered a blood feud. Killing a few more wouldn''t change anything. He actually rather admired someone who did not fear a Sacred Land, killed those above his level, and even heavily wounded a Third Heaven God Lord.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Explosions rang out, and the entire world trembled. Zhao Feng, Zhao Kong, the Black Destruction Dragon, and the little thieving cat succeeded in covering the peak Second Heaven God Lord in wounds.


    God Lord Golden Emperor was doing all he could, but Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex blocked all his attacks. After all, God Lord Golden Emperor was so heavily injured that he couldn''t use much of his strength.


    "Intrusive Dream!" Zhao Feng once more used this Origin energy skill of his Dream God Eye and focused his eye on the woman with golden tattoos.


    She had seen Zhao Feng use this move before, and she immediately turned around, not daring to meet Zhao Feng''s eyes. However, the powerful pull of Zhao Feng''s left eye was still able to affect her soul, causing her condition to worsen.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    In this state, the woman suffered several more attacks and was heavily injured. At a certain moment, she finally dropped her guard and was pulled into a dreamy paradise.


    In truth, however, this place was a land of death. The woman was unable to fight back in Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension and was crushed into oblivion. Back in reality, the woman''s life energy abruptly vanished, her body exploding.


    Another had been killed! Four of the five God Lords of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land had now been killed, leaving only the heavily-injured God Lord Golden Emperor.


    God Lord Golden Emperor finally realized that he had totally lost.


    Run!


    He began to bum his bloodline energy and Divine Power, shooting off into the distance as a golden streak of light. Now that he was by himself, how could he possibly fight back against Zhao Feng?


    Thwish!


    After taking his subordinates back into the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng flew off in pursuit.


    The Pure Yang Palace finally knew peace, but no one could forget what happened today.


    Those lower-rank True Gods and Ancient Gods found it impossible to know just what sort of powerful experts had fought against each other on this day. Those top-class Ancient Gods and God Lords were stunned. They had witnessed four God Lords of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land being killed and a Third Heaven God Lord running for his life.


    As the pursuit continued, news of the incident began to spread. Zhao Feng pursued for only a little while before giving up. Although he was powerful, the temptation of the Ninth God Eye was too strong. He could not guarantee his safety, so it was best if he didn''t show off too much. Moreover, this was the territory of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land.


    Other experts might be making their way over to surround him.


    Thus, Zhao Feng gave up the pursuit of God Lord Golden Emperor.


    A few days later, in Pure Yang Palace, a vast and incomparably formidable pressure suddenly descended. The Pure Yang Palace Master and Ao Hongguang immediately rushed out in alarm.


    Kabooom!


    The distant horizon had turned golden, and a supreme divine might permeated the air. All the members of Pure Yang Palace, including the Pure Yang Palace Master, dropped to their knees, unable to endure this pressure.


    Whoosh!


    A golden-robed figure appeared in the skies above the Pure Yang Palace. The entire world was instantly turned into a metal world, every blade of grass seeming to turn into tough and unyielding metal.


    Such terrifying phenomena had the Pure Yang Palace Master trembling in fear. He had already guessed at the identity of the visitor.


    "Pure Yang Palace respectfully welcomes God King Heaven Dragon!" the Pure Yang Palace Master spoke with the utmost respect.


    God King Heaven Dragon was the God King of the Golden Dragon Sacred Land.


    Tell us all you know about Zhao Feng!" A voice came from beside God King Heaven Dragon. It was none other than the God Lord who Zhao Feng had caused to flee in despair, God Lord Golden Emperor.


    But next to a God King, he seemed insignificant and remarkable. The Pure Yang Palace Master even failed to notice him at first.

 1495 Primal Chaos Lock

    Chapter 1495 - Primal Chaos Lock


    Tell us all you know about Zhao Feng! If you leave anything out, you will bear the consequences!" A voice came from beside God King Heaven Dragon. It was none other than the God Lord who Zhao Feng had caused to flee in despair, God Lord Golden Emperor.


    But next to a God King, he seemed insignificant and remarkable. The Pure Yang Palace Master even failed to notice him at first.


    "Yes! Back then, Zhao Feng called himself Zhao Wang and assisted Pure Yang Palace twice, in addition staying at the Pure Yang Palace for a period of time...." The Pure Yang Palace Master did not dare to hide anything and divulged all he knew about Zhao Feng. Of course, he now knew that Zhao Feng taming the little thieving cat was just an act.


    When he mentioned the matter of the Heaven Mending Race''s legacy, God King Heaven Dragon''s eyes gleamed. It was obvious that even a God King was very interested in the legacy of the Heaven Mending Race.


    "Where was the legacy located?" God King Heaven Dragon finally spoke, the shapeless sound wave turning into golden ripples that spread outward and seeped into the minds of others.


    Afterward, God King Heaven Dragon entered the Yellow Dragon Secret Dimension to search for clues, even entering the dimension where Zhao Feng had obtained the legacy.


    "The Primal Chaos energy here is of an extremely high level," God King Heaven Dragon softly muttered. He speculated that a legacy of Heaven Mending Race God King had been left behind in this place.


    Your Excellency Heaven Dragon, when I fought with Zhao Feng, he was also using Primal Chaos energy!" God Lord Golden Emperor whispered. At the same time, he silently cursed. Zhao Feng had definitely obtained the Heaven Mending Race''s legacy in this place. Otherwise, Zhao Feng wouldn''t have become that powerful, and he wouldn''t have been defeated.


    "Order the entire Tongtai Zone to search for traces of Zhao Feng. Report to me the moment you find something!" God King Heaven Dragon decreed.


    It was evident that God King Heaven Dragon was prepared to personally take action.


    Yes!" God Lord Golden Emperor called out.


    "This person is extremely powerful. Even Golden Emperor was defeated...." God King Heaven Dragon''s face darkened. Even after handing these missions to his subordinates, he was still somewhat doubtful. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he disappeared.


    The world gradually returned to normal, and all the members of Pure Yang Palace breathed a sigh of relief. They had feared that God King Heaven Dragon would vent his rage over the Zhao Feng incident on Pure Yang Palace.


    But God Kings were perceptive individuals. He understood that this matter had nothing to do with Pure Yang Palace, so he did not further investigate the matter.


    However, Shadowstream Peak was in trouble. After learning about the Heaven Mending Race''s legacy, it had secretly schemed to take it for itself and destroy Pure Yang Palace. This could be considered as deliberately starting a war with a five-star faction to weaken the overall strength of the Tongtai Zone.


    In addition, God King Heaven Dragon was rather interested in the Heaven Mending Race legacy. If Shadowstream Peak had reported this matter to begin with, the Heaven Mending Race legacy and the Ninth God Eye might have both been his.


    But seeing as Shadowstream Peak only had one God Lord left, the Golden Dragon Sacred Land did not punish it too severely.


    While the Golden Dragon Sacred Land was searching for Zhao Feng with all its strength, so were the majority of the other zones in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. After all, this was the Ninth God Eye. Obtaining it could allow one to completely transform their destiny.


    Every day, there were countless pieces of false information regarding the Ninth God Eye.


    On the other side, the Heaven''s Legacy Race faction under the Heaven Lord had smoothly escaped the prying eyes of the other experts from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and had once more concealed itself.


    Within the dim and pitch-black palace, the Heaven Lord was seated on his raised throne.


    "Seven Divine Emissaries and nine Palace Kings. Have them all mobilized to find and capture Zhao Feng," the Heaven Lord calmly announced.


    Yes!" the Divine Emissaries and Palace Kings called out in unison.


    They had learned long ago that Zhao Feng, who was imprisoned in a secret chamber within the Divine Kingdom, had escaped. It was difficult to imagine that there would be a moment when even their Heaven Lord would suffer a loss.


    "Once you capture him, cripple his cultivation!" The Heaven Lord raised a brow as he added.


    When Zhao Feng had suddenly vanished, they had started a thorough investigation to find out how Zhao Feng had managed to escape, but in the end, they failed to learn anything. They speculated that a God had secretly assisted him, but they found no clues indicating this. In short, Zhao Feng''s disappearance was shrouded in mystery.


    The Heaven Lord even speculated that this matter was related to Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye. In order to prevent this from happening again, he decided that Zhao Feng needed to be crippled.


    Everyone turned solemn upon hearing this. The Heaven Lord rarely suffered a loss. Everyone knew that the Heaven Lord was determined to capture Zhao Feng again. Thus, anyone who captured Zhao Feng again would undoubtedly be richly rewarded.


    "In addition, assemble all the information we have on Zhao Feng and bring it to me." The Heaven Lord gave one last order.


    Finding a person in the vast Realm of Gods was actually rather simple. After all, the Heaven Lord possessed an immense faction with a sophisticated communication network. But it was also rather difficult. For example, God Lords usually lived in very isolated places, not emerging for tens of thousands to hundreds of millions of years. Even his faction would find it very difficult to investigate such people.


    This being the case, he needed a second plan. He needed to understand everything about Zhao Feng so he could identify his weaknesses.


    "If you have the time, you should go as well," the Heaven Lord whispered to the Protector at his side.


    The Protector nodded.


    All the people in the pitch-black palace were shocked. Was even the Protector being mobilized?


    ...


    Near a bay within the Tongtai Zone: Whoosh!


    A spatial vortex appeared, a silver-clothed and silver-haired person slowly emerging from it.


    "I should be safe for the moment," Zhao Feng muttered after scanning the area with his left eye.


    He entered his Dream Divine Kingdom.


    Within a serene valley shrouded by cold mist was a tree of dazzling dreamy colors, radiating a multicolored halo that colored the surrounding fog. This multicolored tree was none other than the core of the Dream Divine Kingdom.


    Once he reached this place, Zhao Feng sat cross-legged on the ground and used the power of the Divine Kingdom to build a special cultivating dimension. The Heaven Earth Yuan Qi within this dimension was extremely concentrated, and it also had the time effect of the Spacetime Robe Dimension.


    After taking some resources and resting for a few days, Zhao Feng recovered from all his mental exhaustion.


    Zhao Feng entered secluded cultivation.


    Third Heaven God Lord... late-stage Law!" Zhao Feng thought back to his battle with God Lord Golden Emperor.


    There were strong and weak Laws, profound and shallow. Third Heaven God Lords possessed late-stage Laws. This was precisely why Zhao Feng, with his two Ancestral Artifact fragments and his Spacetime Law, had not been able to gain that much advantage against God Lord Golden Emperor. Meanwhile, he could kill First Heavens with a glance and Second Heaven God Lords with only a little more effort.


    "If I reach the Second Heaven, I should be more capable of fighting Third Heaven God Lords!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    But improving a Law was more related to comprehension of the Law. Moreover, Zhao Feng had only broken through recently. Reaching Second Heaven did not seem very realistic. Thus, after spending some time in seclusion to little effect, Zhao Feng stopped.


    Although he could not advance his cultivation, he had another method of increasing his strength.


    The contents of the Primal Chaos Scripture emerged in his mind.


    "I''ve already converted eighty percent of my Divine Power into Primal Chaos energy. Let''s finish converting the rest!" Zhao Feng sent his mind into his God Altar, activated the Paramount Scripture, and began the conversion process.


    He also split off a portion of his mind to study the bloodline secret arts and combat skills of the Heaven Mending Race contained within the Primal Chaos Scripture.


    But Zhao Feng discovered that the first few secret arts were related to repairing dimensions, the Fan Universe, and special kinds of dimensions.


    Based on what he knew during the Ancient Era, the Heaven Mending Race was a pacifistic race. This race rarely took part in the conflicts over resources. Rather, it wandered around the Fan Universe and repaired the holes in space, maintaining the normal operation of the entire Fan Universe.


    Although Zhao Feng had inherited the legacy of the Heaven Mending Race, he had not inherited their will. He was no pacifist.


    Skipping these contents, he began to read through the fighting techniques. The combat skills for Primal Chaos energy were extremely difficult and were normally used in conjunction with one''s bloodline.


    Zhao Feng was not a glutton. He chose just one of these techniques to focus on first.


    "Primal Chaos Lock."


    This was the skill that Zhao Feng decided on.


    Beiming Hui had used a similar skill to capture him. After he was locked down, the majority of the energy Zhao Feng used had been absorbed by the Primal Chaos Lock, rendering him nigh incapable of resisting.


    Moreover, the Primal Chaos Lock could be used together with his Spacetime Barrier for even better effect.


    When he thought of this, Zhao Feng began to cultivate and comprehend this skill.


    One year went by, but this was only three or four days in the outside world.


    Zhao Feng had now completely converted his Chaos Origin Divine Power into Primal Chaos Divine Power.


    As for the Primal Chaos Lock, Zhao Feng had comprehended more than half of it. If he aimed it at the Black Destruction Dragon, the Primal Chaos Lock would drop its strength to sixty percent of normal.


    "It''s time to leave!" Zhao Feng rose and ended his seclusion.


    He was preparing to further hone himself so that he could break into Second Heaven as quickly as possible.


    Of course, he had another plan: investigate the other factions and intelligence networks the Heaven''s Legacy Race had planted in the various zones. He could not only develop a deeper understanding of the Heaven''s Legacy Race through these factions, but he could also weaken the Heaven''s Legacy Race by destroying them and further guarantee his safety.


    In the outside world, a golden figure flying by suddenly stopped.


    "Divine Kingdom?" The golden figure''s dazzling eyes stopped at a certain point in the air.


    This person was extremely similar in appearance to the God King Heaven Dragon who had appeared at Pure Yang Palace.


    "Even if it''s a mistake, I have to take a look." The golden elder''s gaze turned solemn.


    Boom!


    He thrust out a palm. A faint wave of golden light rapidly began to spread through the world.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng appeared nearby.


    "What?" Zhao Feng grimaced.


    The moment he appeared, he felt astonishing ripples of Divine Power.


    Boom! Bang!


    The golden ripples of light battered against the air, causing space to twist and crack.


    Zhao Feng was startled. If he had still been hiding just now, his Divine Kingdom would have been attacked by these waves of energy.


    "Golden Dragon Sacred Land!" The bloodline energy and unique traits allowed Zhao Feng to quickly identify his foe.


    His foe had restrained his energy so that Zhao Feng could not see his true level of cultivation. However, his God''s Spiritual Eye was beginning to pulse and thump.


    At this moment, the golden elder turned his astonished eyes to Zhao Feng.


    "The Ninth God Eye, Zhao Feng!" He rejoiced.


    At the same time, he began to slowly release his energy.


    The entire world began to take on a golden hue, and the entire region came under the control of his powerful Metal Law.

 1496 God King Heaven Dragon

    Chapter 1496 - God King Heaven Dragon


    Upon sensing that powerful Metal Law, Zhao Feng immediately knew that the situation was bad. The person before him was much stronger than he had imagined.


    Run! Without another word, Zhao Feng circulated his Spacetime Law and vanished.


    "Want to leave?" The golden elder faintly smiled and turned into a golden streak of light as he pursued.


    "What incredible speed!" Zhao Feng was alarmed as he sensed that powerful energy constantly getting closer.


    He could sense that this elder was not merely skilled in a Metal Law, but a Light Law as well. These two Laws provided enormous boosts to one''s speed. This, along with the fact that the golden elder had a far higher cultivation level, meant that he was faster than Zhao Feng when it came to speed.


    But in truth, the golden elder was even more surprised. A mere peak First Heaven was actually so fast that he couldn''t immediately catch up? However, in the face of absolute strength, all else was meaningless.


    "Zhao Feng, just come with me!" the golden elder bellowed as he waved a palm.


    Kaboom!


    Golden light twisted together into a golden dragon that roared and shot forward.


    It only took a split-second for the golden light dragon to reach Zhao Feng. This attack was much stronger than the golden elder''s probing attack.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex!" Zhao Feng immediately used his defensive skill, creating a pitch-black lightning vortex around him. At the same time, a barrier made from Spacetime Law energy emerged from the Spacetime Robe.


    He could hold nothing back against such a powerful expert.


    Boom! Bang!


    The golden dragon flew past Zhao Feng. His God Eye''s observation ability and his incredible speed allowed Zhao Feng to shift to the side a little so that the golden dragon would pass by.


    But a large chunk was cut out of the side of the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex, and the Spacetime Robe''s defenses were almost completely obliterated.


    "Hmph, I''d like to see how long you can last!" The golden elder grunted, his face confident and unperturbed.


    He had a certain understanding of Zhao Feng''s strength. He had used such a powerful attack because he knew that Zhao Feng wasn''t that easy to kill.


    "This person is much stronger than God Lord Golden Emperor. If not a peak Third Heaven, he''s a God King!" Zhao Feng''s mood turned grim, and his mind began to whir as he tried to think of some countermeasures.


    His foe possessed a profound cultivation level, and not even the speed that he had always been so proud of could allow him to escape. And in a direct confrontation, victory was impossible even if he used the Dream God Eye.


    "Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Slash!" Zhao Feng condensed Primal Chaos energy into two Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords.


    Hwoooo!


    He wildly swung them, raining down Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning bolts at the golden elder.


    "These puny attacks can''t hurt even a hair on this old man!" The golden elder sneered in derision.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    With a wave of his right hand, he set Metal Law energy howling forward, obliterating all the Primal Chaos energy bolts in the vicinity.


    Zhao Feng had spread his Primal Chaos attacks over a wide range, allowing some of them to survive. However, the trajectory of these Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning bolts clearly indicated that they couldn''t hit the golden elder, so he ignored them.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" Zhao Feng extended both hands, unleashing vast amounts of Primal Chaos energy, and then he brought his hands together.


    The Primal Chaos energy rushed forward, fusing with the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning bolts around the golden elder and forming a chaotic torrent of energy.


    Bzzz!


    Suddenly, this chaotic torrent transformed into a complicated ring that surrounded the golden elder. The ring began to retract, attempting to lock the golden elder within it.


    "How pointless!" the golden elder bellowed. Someone of Zhao Feng''s cultivation, no matter what technique he used, would be incapable of affecting him.


    But as the golden elder prepared to attack again, Zhao Feng''s Spacetime Robe unleashed a barrier of unreal silver light.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng pushed both of the fragments in the Spacetime Robe to their limit. The Spacetime Barrier and Primal Chaos Lock combined were able to affect the golden elder for a few moments.


    Zhao Feng used this chance to enter his Divine Kingdom, and the first thing he did was sleep.


    "This Spacetime Robe actually has two Ancestral Artifact fragments?" The golden elder had some inkling of what was within the Spacetime Robe and was rather surprised.


    Even for God Kings, Ancestral Artifact fragments were extremely precious. When one accumulated enough Ancestral Artifact fragments of the same attribute, one could refine them together into a "damaged Ancestral Artifact," further boosting their power.


    Kaboom!


    Boundless golden radiance erupted from the elder''s body, accompanied by countless roaring dragon images. Under this power, the Spacetime Barrier and Primal Chaos Lock were gradually tom down.


    You think that you''ll be fine if you can hide in your Divine Kingdom?" The golden elder laughed.


    Bzzzz!


    He waved his palm, releasing a golden wave of light suffused with the power of a Space Law.


    God Lords, besides cultivating their primary Law, would also cultivate other Laws to serve as support, and Space Laws were a common choice.


    Kaboom!


    This golden wave of light struck the air, creating a spatial whirlpool that created countless spatial fissures. But gradually, it began to weaken, and everything eventually returned to normal.


    "Eh? This Divine Kingdom is actually so solid?" The golden elder was rather surprised.


    The Divine Kingdom of any other peak First Heaven God Lord would shatter under a single strike of his.


    Of course, he had no idea that Zhao Feng''s Divine Kingdom had been gestating in the Dream God Eye all this time. And when the God''s Spiritual Eye reached the God Eye level, it became capable of enduring immense amounts of energy. Moreover, when first stabilizing the Divine Kingdom core, Zhao Feng borrowed many precious resources and treasures from the Heaven''s Legacy Race for exactly this purpose. Thus, his Divine Kingdom was much stronger than ordinary Divine Kingdoms.


    Even so, the golden elder''s attack caused the Divine Kingdom to fiercely shake and sway.


    But Zhao Feng had no time to worry about such things. He swiftly fell asleep and began to imagine a location.


    He did not want to return to the Spiritual Race yet. The locations available to him besides this were the Gulong Zone, Chixing Zone, and Tianyun Zone.


    In the end, Zhao Feng decided to choose the Chixing Zone, where Xin Wuheng was.


    In the outside world, since the golden elder''s first attack had failed to force Zhao Feng out, he was preparing to use a second one.


    Suddenly, the golden elder''s face froze. He realized that the Divine Kingdom hidden there was no more!


    "Gone?" He carefully sent out his senses, and in the end, he concluded that the Divine Kingdom truly was gone.


    But how? How could such a large dimension just up and vanish? Moreover, he had not sensed any spatial ripples. The Divine Kingdom and Zhao Feng had inexplicably vanished!


    Boom! Bang!


    The golden elder furiously fired off an attack. Space for tens of thousands of li around him became distorted, and a forbidden spatial storm howled in through the countless spatial fissures created. The region was thrown into complete collapse, rendered into a devastated landscape.


    The golden elder simply stood on the ground, his expression dour.


    After a long while, another golden figure descended. This person was none other than God King Heaven Dragon, who had appeared at Pure Yang Palace.


    "This kid has quite a few tricks. He was actually able to escape from this king''s clone!" God King Heaven Dragon grunted.


    After leaving Pure Yang Palace, he decided to personally search for Zhao Feng. For this purpose, he sent out the five clones he had been working on for many years. Each of these clones had thirty to sixty percent of the original''s strength. The clone that had found Zhao Feng was one of the weaker ones, with only around thirty percent of his strength.


    Zhao Feng had escaped without leaving any clues, so he could only continue his search.


    In the Chixing Zone, outside the Scorching Underworld, a silver-robed figure suddenly appeared.


    Back then, Twilight Valley had used the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom to drop off Zhao Feng here.


    Upon arriving, Zhao Feng did not immediately leave, instead entering the Divine Kingdom. He took control of the Divine Kingdom core and started the repairs on the damaged parts of the Divine Kingdom.


    After that, he used the Heavenly Closure Seal to conceal his energy and the Dream God Eye. He then slightly altered his face.


    Only after doing all this did he finally leave the Divine Kingdom.


    "I wonder how Giant God Hall is doing."


    With this thought in mind, Zhao Feng went toward Giant God Hall''s current location.


    He trusted Xin Wuheng more than most, as Xin Wuheng had long ago known that there was something unusual about his left eye but had never leaked any information about it. Zhao Feng also wanted to know how the Giant God Race was after that major war.


    He was also planning to look for Senior Twilight Valley. This Light Race expert had undoubtedly once been far more powerful than a Second Heaven God Lord. Zhao Feng planned to ask for some guidance on the problems encountered when breaking into Second Heaven and other cultivation problems.


    In less than two months, Zhao Feng arrived at the territory of Giant God Hall. Giant God Hall now occupied the former territory of Ancient Soul Hall, but the style and arrangement of the buildings had gone through some modification.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng took out a dark yellow token. This was the special message token the Giant God Race''s Grand Elder had given to him. After sending a message, Zhao Feng entered Giant God Hall.


    With his cultivation and Space Law, he remained completely undetected. In the end, Zhao Feng managed to safely reach a golden octagonal palace.


    Once the domain was opened, Zhao Feng entered. The moment he entered the palace, he was greeted by a deep and joyous voice; "Brother Zhao, it''s wonderful to see that you''re okay!"


    When Zhao Feng''s identity as the Ninth God Eye was first exposed, numerous experts had come to the Chixing Zone to look for Zhao Feng. Many of these experts went to Giant God Hall to ask questions and look for clues.


    After several years, Xin Wuheng learned that Zhao Feng had somehow gotten involved with the Heaven''s Legacy Race. He had been under the impression this entire time that Zhao Feng had been captured by the Heaven''s Legacy Race. He never expected for Zhao Feng to be completely unharmed and to even pay him a visit.


    "Am I really that easy to capture?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile.


    But when he thought about everything that had happened after the Ninth God Eye''s awakening, he found himself rather alarmed. For him to have survived this long truly wasn''t easy.


    When he looked at the azure-robed Xin Wuheng, he realized that Xin Wuheng was now a Second Heaven God Lord who was almost at the peak, and his foundation seemed to be incredibly sturdy. The current Xin Wuheng had probably recovered the cultivation level of his past life and perhaps even exceeded it.


    "Brother Zhao, it''s best if you remain cautious. The Heaven''s Legacy Race''s faction is searching for you in the Chixing Zone. Not too long ago, we discovered a hidden faction that is closely connected to the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Xin Wuheng whispered.


    Zhao Feng was rather surprised to hear this.


    He had found out a few things during his time in the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Divine Kingdom. Almost every one of the eighteen zones of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods harbored subordinate factions of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    And Zhao Feng''s true objective was to constantly remove these subordinates to weaken the overall strength of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Once he destroyed the various factions the Heaven''s Legacy Race had hidden, their intelligence-gathering capabilities would plunge, upon which searching for Zhao Feng would be like searching for a needle in an ocean.

 1497 Zhao Fengs Movements

    Chapter 1497 - Zhao Feng''s Movements


    Zhao Feng asked about where the faction related to the Heaven''s Legacy Race was located.


    Xin Wuheng grimaced. "Brother Zhao, it''s best if you don''t act recklessly!"


    Xin Wuheng had some understanding of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s abilities. He was confident that, if the Heaven''s Legacy Race was willing, it could easily wipe out Giant God Hall.


    However, it was not convenient for the Heaven''s Legacy Race to reveal itself at this time, nor was this the right time to meddle in the power structure of the Chixing Zone. Ancient Soul Hall had only recently been heavily wounded and scattered. If the Heaven''s Legacy Race now decided to attack Giant God Hall, the Chixing Zone''s Sacred Land would not just sit back and watch.


    And in truth, Giant God Hall had nothing that the Heaven''s Legacy Race wanted.


    "This race is incredibly ambitious. They are determined to obtain your God Eye!" Xin Wuheng once more urged.


    In the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, they had seen the duplicate of the Ancient Race bloodline. Although the fusion level was extremely low, it was still enough to shake the world.


    If the holder of the Ninth God Eye was allowed to properly mature, he would definitely become a God. The Heaven''s Legacy Race would definitely try to think of a way to obtain the Ninth God Eye before Zhao Feng became a God. Thus, Xin Wuheng advised Zhao Feng to find a secluded place to focus on cultivation. Once his strength had reached a certain level, he could show his face.


    But he also knew that Zhao Feng wasn''t the sort of person that could sit still. He had always taken vengeance when he had been wronged.


    "Relax! I know my limits." Zhao Fengs eyes dimmed.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was the enemy that he most feared. This foe had him constantly on his guard, always concealing and restraining himself.


    But did Zhao Feng have to retract into his shell just because they wanted to capture him? He wanted to weaken the Heaven''s Legacy Race bit by bit, extracting all the benefits he could. This was also a means of honing himself and rapidly increasing his cultivation level.


    One day, he would no longer have to fear the Heaven''s Legacy Race or the greedy eyes of any other person in the Realm of Gods. Perhaps he could even take revenge!


    In addition, the Heaven''s Legacy Race had two kinds of hidden factions, the Heavenly Halls and the Defying Palaces.


    The factions overseen by Hall Masters had the strength of a peak four-star faction, with the strongest member being a half-step God Lord. Zhao Feng could easily remove such factions.


    The factions overseen by Palace Kings were equivalent to five-star factions, with the strongest members being Second Heaven or above. Destroying these factions was somewhat more problematic, and Zhao Feng needed to be careful around them.


    Seeing that Zhao Feng''s mind was set, Xin Wuheng told him where it was.


    "How has the Giant God Hall been doing lately?" Zhao Feng inquired.


    "It''s okay. A newly-established faction will inevitably be somewhat excluded by the other five-star factions, but the Illusion God Sacred Land has come out many times and has been of great assistance to Giant God Hall." Xin Wuheng gave a rough summary.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land was the Sacred Land faction of the Chixing Zone.


    Zhao Feng also learned that the Light Race''s Twilight Valley had temporarily joined Giant God Hall and was hiding within the Chixing Zone. Upon learning of this, Zhao Feng bid farewell to Giant God Hall and headed toward the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom.


    "There are probably many experts hidden around Giant God Hall. You need to be careful when you leave!" Xin Wuheng cautioned.


    After all, all of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods knew of the two factions that Zhao Feng was associated with: the Spiritual Race and Giant God Hall.


    And news of the Ninth God Eye had first appeared in the Chixing Zone. Although much time had passed, there were still quite a few people keeping watch in the Chixing Zone, even hiding around Giant God Hall. Xin Wuheng had realized this.


    Someone of Zhao Feng''s cultivation combined with his Spacetime Law meant that only a Third Heaven God Lord would be able to detect him, but Xin Wuheng decided to still remind him.


    Zhao Feng silently took his leave of Giant God Race and communicated with the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom. After a period of time, a passage appeared in front of Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    After jumping in, Zhao Feng was brought into the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom.


    "Zhao Feng, I really couldn''t have imagined that your left eye was the Ninth God Eye!" A white-robed elder flew out of the Tree of Time. It was none other than Twilight Valley.


    He felt some regret that he wasn''t able to see the awakening of Zhao Feng''s God Eye during the battle in the Scorching Underworld, but there was nothing that could''ve been done. Back then, God Lord Stellar Aspect had suddenly restricted his bloodline energy, causing his strength to plunge and rendering him incapable of fighting against his foe.


    "Even so, I can''t be compared to the other God Eyes, and not even I can predict what could happen next...."


    Zhao Feng possessed the Ninth God Eye, but he did not become arrogant because of it. In fact, after the Ninth God Eye''s awakening, he had been extremely restrained.


    Zhao Feng carefully examined Twilight Valley. At this moment, Twilight Valley gave him almost the same feeling as God Lord Golden Emperor, so he was probably a Third Heaven God Lord.


    As expected, at his peak, Twilight Valley had possessed extraordinary power. Otherwise, he could not possibly have gotten so much stronger so quickly.


    "Heh, I''m confident that you will reach the same status as all the other God Eyes!" Twilight Valley gently smiled.


    He didn''t have a particularly good relationship with Zhao Feng, but the daring Zhao Feng showed by entering his Divine Kingdom had won his admiration.


    Twilight Valley could not deny that he was also tempted to obtain the Ninth God Eye. If he obtained the Ninth God Eye, he would have a chance to exact vengeance on the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    But he had heard that Zhao Feng was captured by the Heaven''s Legacy Race and then escaped. Not even in his prime could he have accomplished such a thing.


    Rather than taking the risk of offending Zhao Feng, it was better to form a good relationship with him. After all, they shared a common enemy in the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "How has Senior been doing recently?" Zhao Feng inquired.


    "It''s been fine. A few more members have been added to the ranks of the Light Race, and I am in the middle of smoothly recovering my cultivation," Twilight Valley smiled and said.


    As it turned out, after Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng had left the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, Twilight Valley took the Divine Kingdom and traveled all over the place to find descendants of the Light Race bloodline.


    If the Light Race wanted to take revenge, Twilight Valley and Ancient God Cheng Yun were far from enough. This was also why the Light Race had allied with Giant God Hall.


    "But the members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race have not ignored my existence. They''ve been keeping a close eye on the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom...." As Twilight Valley mentioned this, his brow furrowed.


    "Senior has already taken complete control over the Divine Kingdom. The Heaven''s Legacy Race will find it very difficult to invade," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    "You''re looking down on the Heaven''s Legacy Race too much!" Twilight Valley''s gaze darkened.


    Zhao Feng nodded. Even though he had spent some time within the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Divine Kingdom, he had not gathered that much information. Perhaps he really was underestimating them.


    "I''ve come this time to ask Senior for some guidance on a few cultivation problems...." Zhao Feng went straight to the point.


    He spent the following period of time in the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom, essentially resolving all the minor problems he had in cultivation.


    "If you primarily cultivated Time Intent, this old man could help you rapidly reach the Second Heaven," Twilight Valley bluntly said.


    Members of the Light Race were experts when it came to Time Intent, but Zhao Feng had been primarily cultivating Space Intent, and the level of his Space Intent now far surpassed his Time Intent. Changing his focus to Time Intent now would take quite some time.


    Zhao Feng decided not to worry about this and wholeheartedly focused on cultivation. The Primal Chaos Scripture''s content was vast and profound. All he had done before was convert his Chaos Origin Divine Power into Primal Chaos Divine Power. As for the combat skill Primal Chaos Lock, he had only just begun to learn it and had yet to familiarize himself with its workings.


    In addition, he had killed many God Lords while fighting at Pure Yang Palace and obtained many resources. Only a small portion of these resources was useful to Zhao Feng, so he gave the rest of the resources to his subordinates and clones to use.


    The Black Destruction Dragon and Zhao Kong had recently become God Lords and needed time to stabilize their cultivations. As for his other clones, they needed large quantities of resources to become God Lords.


    Three years passed in the blink of an eye. In this period, Zhao Feng made some progress in his cultivation of Primal Chaos Divine Power, in addition completely comprehending the Primal Chaos Lock skill.


    His subordinates and clones had also gotten much stronger. After all, Zhao Feng showered them with more resources than even God Lords of Sacred Lands could enjoy.


    In this period, Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan smoothly broke into the God Lord level. The Black Destruction Dragon had received the most resources and had reached peak First Heaven.


    One day, Zhao Feng ended his seclusion and prepared to leave the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    "Do you need my help?" Twilight Valley asked.


    He knew that Zhao Feng''s objective this time was to destroy the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s base in the Chixing Zone.


    "I must trouble Senior." Although Zhao Feng was confident, the Heaven''s Legacy Race was far too mysterious, so he decided to accept.


    If there was some sort of mishap, Twilight Valley''s assistance would be greatly appreciated. The Light Race''s Divine Kingdom had defensive abilities on par with the Dream Divine Kingdom, and Twilight Valley himself was extremely powerful.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng jumped into a passage and left the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom. He slowly began to approach the location Xin Wuheng had given him.


    First, he needed to determine whether this hidden base was a Heavenly Hall or a Defying Palace. If it was a Heavenly Hall, he could easily wipe it out, but he needed to treat a Defying Palace with much more caution.


    Here was a dimension of pitch-black darkness dotted with countless stars, a place of mystery and profundity.


    Two elders stood in the center of this dimension. One elder had white and rough skin and seemed like a thousand- year-old tree. His skin was tattooed with countless complex characters and images. The other was an elder carrying a silver cane who had a beard that drooped all the way to the ground. If Zhao Feng saw this second elder, he would undoubtedly attack him straight away, as this person was none other than God Lord Stellar Aspect.


    In front of the two elders were several mysterious and complex arrays. These arrays were connected with each other, countless Heaven''s Legacy Race words flowing between them.


    "Lord Yu Liuping, the Light Race Divine Kingdom has begun to move!" God Lord Stellar Aspect called out.


    "Dispatch people to follow the Light Race Divine Kingdom. See what he''s up to." The ancient Yu Liuping appeared unperturbed as he calmly spoke.


    Yes!" God Lord Stellar Aspect immediately replied, and his body slowly began to vanish.


    "Heng''er, your grandfather will definitely avenge you. I''ll find out how you died and exterminate anyone who was involved in your death!" Once God Lord Stellar Aspect was gone, a hint of affection appeared in Yu Liuping''s eyes.


    In the southern region of the Chixing Zone, near Thunderstorm Canyon, Zhao Feng, concealed in the void, stopped.


    When his left eye was sealed, his vision could not pierce the more-than-one-hundred-thousand li necessary to see into the base, much less through the many isolation arrays. As he was not able to clearly ascertain the situation, he decided to wait and see for the moment.


    While watching from his hiding place, Zhao Feng discovered that the majority of the people going in and out were low- rank True Gods, and there was only one Rank Seven Ancient God.


    "It seems like this is a Heavenly Hall!" Zhao Feng smiled.


    Heavenly Halls were peak four-star factions at most. Wiping it out would be easy.

 1498 Pulling Out by the Roots

    Chapter 1498 - Pulling Out by the Roots


    "It seems like the faction hidden here is a Heavenly Hall!" Zhao Feng smiled.


    Heavenly Halls were peak four-star factions at most, with their strongest members being half-step God Lords. Wiping out such a faction would be easy.


    Bzzzz!


    Upon confirming this, Zhao Feng sent his Divine Sense creeping forward toward that hidden faction deep underground.


    "As expected!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Based on the probing of his Divine Sense, the majority of the members of this faction were beneath the Ancient God level, and there were not many Ancient God experts. This was definitely a Heavenly Hall.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng grimaced.


    "What? How could this person be here?!" Zhao Feng''s brow furrowed in anger.


    Deep underground, in the center of a dimly-lit secret hall, was a cloud of black mist. Seated cross-legged within this mist was none other than the Ancient Soul Hall Master.


    "Who is it?" The Ancient Soul Hall Master sensed a Second Heaven Divine Sense, and he sent out his own Divine Sense to see what was going on.


    He quickly spotted Zhao Feng. However, Zhao Feng had changed his external appearance. This, along with the concealment of the Heavenly Closure Seal, meant that the Ancient Soul Hall Master did not recognize Zhao Feng.


    Above Thunderstorm Valley, Zhao Feng hesitated a moment before charging underground.


    It was only the Ancient Soul Hall Master. During the war in the Scorching Underworld, he had not dared to fight the Ancient Soul Hall Master in open battle, but the current him could easily kill the Ancient Soul Hall Master.


    "Sir, you are seeking death!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master grunted, and then he charged out to meet Zhao Feng.


    Back when Ancient Soul Hall was dealt a severe blow by Giant God Hall, the members of Ancient Soul Hall had scattered. Meanwhile, he was pursued by Xin Wuheng and the Giant God Race''s Grand Elder, only managing to escape after a long time.


    He was extremely unwilling to accept this result. If not for Zhao Feng, Ancient Soul Hall would have never lost. Thus, God Lord Stellar Aspect allowed him to remain at the Heavenly Yao Hall in the Chixing Zone. Once he recovered, the Heaven''s Legacy Races would assist him in restoring what had been lost.


    The Ancient Soul Hall Master immediately agreed. He focused on cultivation within the Heavenly Yao Hall in the hopes of one day exterminating Giant God Hall. Now that someone was attacking the Heavenly Yao Hall, he could show off his abilities!


    Zhao Feng said nothing. He only gathered up a ball of Primal Chaos energy and fired it.


    Zhao Feng only chose to attack because the Ancient Soul Hall Master had yet to recognize him. As long as he could kill the Ancient Soul Hall Master while maintaining his cover, the Heaven''s Legacy Race would not know that Zhao Feng had done all this.


    The moment he cast out the Primal Chaos energy, it began to absorb all the other energy in the area.


    "This is... Primal Chaos energy!" As a Second Heaven God Lord, the Ancient Soul Hall Master could naturally recognize what it was.


    He couldn''t help but be startled. Just who was this visitor? He actually possessed Primal Chaos energy!


    Whoosh!


    The Ancient Soul Hall Master immediately took evasive measures.


    The Ancient Soul Race was skilled in the Soul Dao, and he naturally wasn''t so much of a fool as to compete in Divine Power with a God Lord that possessed Primal Chaos energy.


    At the same moment, the Ancient Soul Hall Master sent out a message; "Unknown peak First Heaven God Lord is attacking the Heavenly Yao Hall!"


    In a pitch-black dimension, God Lord Stellar Aspect received this message.


    "What''s going on?" Yu Liuping softly asked.


    "The Ancient Soul Hall Master has sent word that an unknown peak First Heaven God Lord is attacking the Heavenly Yao Hall!" God Lord Stellar Aspect earnestly replied.


    "It''s only a First Heaven. Leave it to the Ancient Soul Hall Master to handle. In the last few days, the Light Race Divine Kingdom has opened up twice, allowing us to grasp some information. As long as it opens one more time...." Yu Liuping''s dark and profound eyes gleamed with desire and impatience.


    God Lord Stellar Aspect nodded, turning his gaze to the complex Heaven''s Legacy array.


    They had been constantly watching and observing the Light Race Divine Kingdom, looking for any flaws and attempting to invade it. Not even Yu Liuping, who was a Venerable Elder of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, could directly invade it.


    However, each time the Light Race Divine Kingdom opened, Yu Liuping would able to obtain some information. He was confident that, if the Light Race Divine Kingdom opened one more time, he would be able to find a weak area in the Divine Kingdom through which he could open up a hole!


    Back in the Heavenly Yao Hall, the Ancient Soul Hall Master attacked, sending forth a pitch-black beam of energy with a wave of his palm that was imbued with the power to extinguish souls.


    Zhao Feng could see that there was an enormous black bat in this beam, its eyes glistening.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng charged downward. The pitch-black beam passed by Zhao Feng, but the bat flew out, opened its mouth, and unleashed a black wave of energy.


    This bat was the Ancient Soul Hall Master''s Soul Beast. Even without his control, it was intelligent enough to attack enemies.


    But Zhao Feng was so fast that he left this Soul Beast far behind.


    "So fast, it''s a Space Law... not good! He''s after the Heavenly Yao Hall!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master was shocked, and then he grimaced.


    In order to hide his identity, Zhao Feng used only the Space Law, keeping the Time Law hidden.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng instantly reached the Heavenly Yao Hall and shattered its defensive domain with one punch. Zhao Feng proceeded to rush into the Heavenly Yao Hall and gathered his soul energy into a sword.


    Thwish!


    As he flew, he used his soul energy to cut down everyone he encountered, slaying them all.


    "Stop!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master followed close behind, frantically shouting.


    He had one other mission in remaining here: keeping the Heavenly Yao Hall safe.


    The appearance of the Ninth God Eye had changed the Chixing Zone, and an undercurrent was flowing. The mere peak four-star faction that was the Heavenly Yao Hall had a chance of being discovered.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng made his way through the Heavenly Yao Hall, killing everyone he encountered. In just a few moments, Zhao Feng had killed everyone present. After all, it was just a peak four-star faction, with half-step God Lords at most. They were powerless against Zhao Feng''s soul energy.


    After killing everyone, Zhao Feng left the Heavenly Yao Hall.


    "Sir, just who are you?" The Ancient Soul Hall Master had a grim expression. God Lord Stellar Aspect would assuredly blame him for the destruction of the Heavenly Yao Hall.


    The Ancient Soul Hall Master sensed that this person was extremely abnormal. Perhaps he could somewhat make up for his offense by finding out who they were.


    "I''ll tell you when you''re dead!" Zhao Feng chuckled.


    "Seeking death!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master fumed.


    How could he, a Second Heaven God Lord, possibly be killed by this man? Moreover, he had been cultivating recently, and he was much stronger than he was in the past.


    Boomboomboom!


    The Ancient Soul Hall Master waved his hands, firing one black beam of energy after another. This underground region began to crumble and collapse.


    Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng unleashed Primal Chaos energy to form a wall in front of him. The unique trait of Primal Chaos energy was enough to block the Ancient Soul Hall Master''s frantic attacks.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng shot up to the Ancient Soul Hall Master.


    "What a powerful defense!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master grimaced, but he did not retreat.


    "Soul-Destroying Wave!" The Ancient Soul Hall Master bellowed, forming a spell. A black stream of energy exuding an astonishing Soul energy appeared between his hands.


    The black bat immediately returned to his side and fused with the stream of energy.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the Ancient Soul Hall Master thrust out both palms, and then a pitch-black wave of energy swept out toward Zhao Feng. This time, the Ancient Soul Hall Master using a pure Soul energy attack, his strongest and most lethal technique.


    The pitch-black wave passed through the Primal Chaos wall, which had little effect, and crashed into Zhao Feng''s soul body.


    The Ancient Soul Hall Master couldn''t help but smile. The Ancient Soul Race was skilled in the Soul Dao, and this move of his would either annihilate or heavily injure a soul.


    But the Ancient Soul Hall Master''s expression soon went stiff in shock. He did not see the result he had imagined. Zhao Feng appeared to be little affected. In fact, he extended both his arms and unleashed powerful Primal Chaos energy.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" Primal Chaos energy flooded the Ancient Soul Hall Master''s surroundings, tightly enclosing him in streams of chaotic energy. These chaotic streams of energy began to tighten, swiftly closing in around him.


    The devouring attribute of Primal Chaos energy was soon making itself felt on every part of the Ancient Soul Hall Master''s body. The Ancient Soul Hall Master was trying to fight back, but the moment he released Divine Power, it would be partially absorbed by the Primal Chaos energy around him.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng slowly flew over to the tightly-bound Ancient Soul Hall Master.


    He had intentionally allowed himself to be struck by the Ancient Soul Hall Master''s soul attack so that the latter would drop his guard. After all, Zhao Feng''s soul defenses were completely capable of taking such a blow.


    Slap!


    Zhao Feng struck the Primal Chaos Lock with his palm, controlling the Primal Chaos energy to draw even tighter. The Ancient Soul Hall Master was immediately placed under immense and painful pressure. The Divine Power in his body was rapidly drained away by the Primal Chaos Lock.


    "Aaah...! Who are you?" The Ancient Soul Hall Master screamed.


    In order to conceal his identity, Zhao Feng had used barely any of his skills, and he had even taken a soul attack. Even now, the Ancient Soul Hall Master did not know who Zhao Feng was.


    The Ancient Soul Hall Master vigorously struggled, but at this moment, he was meat on the cutting board and incapable of fighting back.


    "When you arrived, I immediately informed the Heaven''s Legacy Race. They''re probably coming this way. If you kill me, you''ll be doomed!" the Ancient Soul Hall Master hastily said.


    He hoped that the name of the Heaven''s Legacy Race would frighten this mysterious expert.


    "There''s no need to talk. You''re doomed, so before you die, I''ll tell you who I am." Zhao Feng chuckled as he sent Soul Intent coupled with astonishing Tribulation Lightning energy toward the Ancient Soul Hall Master.


    Swish!


    The Primal Chaos Lock was instantly covered in Tribulation Lightning energy. Zhao Feng suddenly increased the strength, using almost all his power to strike with Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energy. The weak Ancient Soul Hall Master''s soul was instantly extinguished.


    Before death, he came to know that this was Zhao Feng, because this Soul Intent and Tribulation Lightning were things that he was rather familiar with. But it was precisely because he knew that he died in complete unwillingness.


    After looting the Ancient Soul Hall Master''s possessions, Zhao Feng charged back into the Heavenly Yao Hall.


    In truth, he could have directly destroyed the Heavenly Yao Hall, but instead, he had chosen to use soul attacks to kill all its members. This was because he was very interested in the information the Heavenly Yao Hall had gathered.


    Zhao Feng quickly found the intelligence reports in the Heavenly Yao Hall and put them away. There were a few special installations that he did not dare to take away, as he feared that they could be used to find his location.


    After doing what he needed, Zhao Feng destroyed the Heavenly Yao Hall with a wave of his hand.


    Back then, God Lord Heavenly Solitude had used some miraculous method to take up the entirety of the massive Heavenly Demon Hall, leaving Zhao Feng utterly amazed. Now, Zhao Feng could wipe out a faction of the same level, the Heavenly Yao Hall, with a wave of his hand.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng used Instant Movement to quickly leave the area. At the same time, he got in touch with Twilight Valley and prepared to return to the Light Race Divine Kingdom.

 1499 A Glimpse of Danger

    Chapter 1499 - A Glimpse of Danger Swish!


    Through a gloomy spatial passage, Zhao Feng returned to the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    "It was frightening, but not dangerous!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    The existence of the Ancient Soul Hall Master had truly given him a scare, but in the end, while still concealing his identity, Zhao Feng had killed all the members of the Heavenly Yao Hall and the Ancient Soul Hall Master while even stealing some intelligence reports.


    Twilight Valley couldn''t help but laugh. The Heaven''s Legacy Race was his enemy as well, and at this moment, he felt that choosing to work with Zhao Feng had been an exceptionally wise choice. Once the Ninth God Eye completely matured, not even the Heaven''s Legacy Race was anything to be afraid of.


    Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged on the ground and prepared to inspect his spoils.


    At this moment:


    "Oh no!" Twilight Valley suddenly shouted.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes focused. Anything that could upset the Third Heaven Twilight Valley could not be a trifling matter. "The Heaven''s Legacy Race is invading the Divine Kingdom!" Twilight Valley bluntly said.


    He could sense that the Heaven''s Legacy Race was encroaching bit by bit into the weakest area of the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    The invasion method being used appeared to be extremely effective against the defenses of the Light Race Divine Kingdom. If he did nothing, the other side would soon be able to set up a spatial passage that would let them come in and out as they pleased.


    Twilight Valley was once more startled by the intelligence of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    Thwish!


    Twilight Valley''s body flickered away as he went to the side of the Tree of Time and pressed his palm against it. Through the Tree of Time, he could greatly boost his control over the Divine Kingdom, and he could take countermeasures to fight back against the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    But the Heaven''s Legacy Race had come well-prepared. Even though he was controlling the Divine Kingdom, he could not completely stop the invasion, only hinder it.


    "Is there any way I can help?" Zhao Feng called out. He was also hostile toward the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "Go to the weak point and keep an eye on it!" Twilight Valley''s brows furrowed as he sent the location to Zhao Feng.


    If he committed all his strength, he could temporarily stave off the Heaven''s Legacy Race, but given how prepared the Heaven''s Legacy Race was, it was difficult to rule out some other incident taking place.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng blinked forward.


    At this moment, in a place near the forbidden ground of the Light Race, faint ripples appeared in space, and then several figures emerged. Zhao Feng would have recognized one of them as one of the people who had initially explored the Light Race Divine Kingdom with him, Ancient God Cheng Yun.


    Ancient God Cheng Yun could be called God Lord Cheng Yun now, as he had long ago broken through within the Light Race''s Divine Kingdom.


    God Lord Cheng Yun led the few Light Race descendants away from this place.


    God Lord Cheng Yun was the strongest of this group - a First Heaven God Lord - while the rest were either half-step God Lords or Ancient Gods.


    Near the other end of the Light Race Divine Kingdom, there was a drab and gloomy region with a damaged Heaven''s Legacy Race building. It was in this building that Zhao Feng and the Giant God Race team had discovered the precious time cultivation plant known as Moonlight Sky Bamboo.


    At this moment, the space next to this building became slightly distorted. It was as if there was a spatial vortex there that was constantly spinning, getting larger and larger.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng suddenly appeared, his eyes fixed on this spatial hole.


    A few moments later, God Lord Cheng Yun''s group arrived.


    "Not good! Zhao Feng, they''ve successfully gotten inside!" Twilight Valley''s voice suddenly resounded in Zhao Feng''s mind.


    A black dot appeared in the spatial vortex and began to gradually expand.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Two silhouettes flew out.


    "Death God Guards!" With a glance, Zhao Feng recognized what these two people were.


    Death God Guard were a higher class of automaton, a fusion of life with the automaton technology of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, carrying the advantages of both.


    These two Death God Guards were an azure-robed elder and a burly man holding a black halberd.


    Once the two Death God Guards entered the Light Race Divine Kingdom, the black dot behind them shrank, but it did not completely disappear.


    Zhao Feng did not act recklessly around these two Death God Guards. He understood that these Death God Guards were under the control of Heaven''s Legacy Race experts. This meant that their controllers could see whatever the Death God Guards were seeing.


    Fortunately, Zhao Feng had altered his appearance so that he was not recognized.


    On the other end, Yu Liuping and God Lord Stellar Aspect extended their arms, sending countless wriggling white characters out of their palms and into the large arrays.


    "Success! Two Death God Guards have gotten in!" God Lord Stellar Aspect gleefully smiled.


    Sending over two Second Heaven Death God Guards was already their limit.


    After observing the Light Race Divine Kingdom for so long, they had finally succeeded in invading it. Twilight Valley had to put all his focus into fending off their intrusion and would not have the time to deal with the Death God Guards. And based on what they knew, the remaining people in the Light Race Divine Kingdom were too weak to be worth worrying about.


    With the Death God Guards working from within, they could expand the gap and set up a spatial tunnel that they could use to go in and out of the Light Race Divine Kingdom as they pleased.


    "Eh? There''s also a peak First Heaven God Lord!" Yu Liuping was alarmed. He had spotted Zhao Feng through the Death God Guards.


    "Even so, two Death God Guards are more than enough." God Lord Stellar Aspect smiled.


    Death God Guards possessed life and intelligence fused with the automaton technology of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. These two in particular had received various upgrades and could also be totally controlled by their operators.


    This person is very unusual!" Yu Liuping''s eyes darkened as he grunted.


    In observing Zhao Feng through the Death God Guard, he realized that there were certain aspects that he could not see through. This person was only a peak First Heaven though; even if he was only looking through a Death God Guard, he should have still been able to see through everything.


    The two Death God Guards received Yu Liuping''s order and suddenly attacked Zhao Feng and the others. Only by removing these barriers could they smoothly accomplish their mission of widening the gap.


    On the surface, the two Death God Guards had the clear advantage.


    Kaboom!


    Zhao Feng went up to meet the azure-robed elder.


    He left the burly man to God Lord Cheng Yun and the other Light Race descendants. Although these people had rather low cultivations, they still had the Light Race bloodline, making them stronger than normal.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng punched, sending off formidable Primal Chaos energy that drew to it all the other energy in the region. This was all he could do, as he had to hide his other techniques so that the Heaven''s Legacy Race member controlling the azure-robed elder would not guess at Zhao Feng''s identity.


    "Primal Chaos energy!?" The azure-robed elder was alarmed. Primal Chaos energy was the energy of the Heaven Mending Race.


    He extended a hand, and a small button appeared in his palm. Powerful energy burst out, creating a white shield.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng''s punch landed on the white shield, creating several cracks. The force of the impact threw the elder back several dozen feet.


    "Who are you?" A powerful ripple of soul energy came from the elder''s body. It was clear that the speaker was the Heaven''s Legacy Race member controlling the azure-robed elder.


    Zhao Feng said nothing. This person''s ability to penetrate the Light Race Divine Kingdom indicated that they were not to be underestimated, and the Heaven''s Legacy Race was skilled in divination and deduction. The more Zhao Feng said, the more flaws he would expose.


    You are not of the Heaven Mending Race, or else you would have acted just now to repair that spatial gap!" The azure- robed elder smiled.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed. He had actually forgotten about this.


    The Heaven Mending Race excelled when it came to repairing spatial holes and gaps. The Primal Chaos Scripture also explained many techniques for repairing spaces, but Zhao Feng had not even looked at them, as he had no interest.


    To be expected of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" Zhao Feng''s heart sank, and his killing intent surged.


    Boom! Bang!


    He punched, firing off a fist of twisted and gloomy energy.


    The azure-robed elder had an ill foreboding and immediately activated his bloodline. At the same time, a metal folding fan appeared in his hand.


    Kabooom!


    As he waved the fan, countless azure blades howled forth, merging together into a fierce storm.


    The azure-robed elder now had some understanding of Zhao Feng''s strength, and so he attacked with all his power - power that neared the peak of the Second Heaven.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Primal Chaos Divine Fist slammed into the azure storm. After a few moments of a stalemate, it blasted through. Primal Chaos energy had almost no counters, and in turn, it countered almost all kinds of energy.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Zhao Feng did not give his foe a chance to catch his breath and punched again and again.


    In a mysterious dimension:


    You will regret this!"


    Yu Liuping had an extremely grim expression. From the abilities that Zhao Feng had displayed, he was sure that the azure-robed elder was no match. At the same time, the azure-robed elder in the Light Race Divine Kingdom relayed Yu Liuping''s words.


    "How could this have happened?" God Lord Stellar Aspect was also rather angry.


    What should have been certain victory had been thrown into disarray by a single God Lord with Primal Chaos energy.


    "We haven''t lost yet! Send somebody to see if there''s anyone who has recently obtained a legacy related to the Heaven Mending Race!" Yu Liuping''s profound eyes gleamed with a dim light.


    If this person possessed Primal Chaos energy but did not know how to repair spatial gaps, it could only mean that they were not a member of the Heaven Mending Race but had somehow come upon a legacy of the Heaven Mending Race.


    "Yes!" God Lord Stellar Aspect''s body gradually vanished from the dimension.


    Within the Divine Kingdom, the azure-robed elder was swiftly killed off by Zhao Feng. As for the burly man, after a few moments of struggle, he was obliterated under a mass of attacks.


    Zhao Feng used this opportunity to study the contents within the Primal Chaos Scripture regarding the repairing of space. If he could familiarize himself with a little, he might be able to help Twilight Valley by completely repairing this hole and thwarting the plans of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    At the same time, in the Chixing Zone in the Illusion God Sacred Land, there was a circular hall permeated by mist. Swish!


    A yellow-robed man slowly emerged from the befuddling mist.


    "Lady Dreamcolor, a God Lord level battle took place in Thunderstorm Canyon!" The yellow-robed man got down on one knee.


    A crystal throne had been placed within the circular hall, and upon this throne was seated a woman shrouded in white mist. Although it was not possible to see her face, her posture and contours were extremely alluring.


    "Are there any other clues?" An ethereal and pleasant voice came from out of the white mist.


    "Based on our investigation, that place was closely related to the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" the yellow-robed man said.


    "Oh?" God Lord Dreamcolor was suddenly interested.


    Even though they were part of the Chixing Zone''s Sacred Land, none of them knew that Thunderstorm Canyon was hiding a faction.


    It was clear that this faction had been subordinate to the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and its enemy was someone who dared to oppose the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "What''s the situation at Giant God Hall?" God Lord Dreamcolor asked.


    "Our spies in Giant God Hall say that Xin Wuheng has recently been in seclusion and has only met with the Grand Elder in his hall a single time... but there was one day when the domain around Xin Wuheng''s forbidden ground suddenly opened and then closed." The yellow-robed man gave a detailed report.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land was also determined to obtain the Ninth God Eye, but they used different measures.


    They treated Giant God Hall with great care and concern. They did so because they naturally hoped to obtain some information on Zhao Feng from Giant God Hall.


    The majority of the Illusion God Sacred Land''s leaders were of the Illusion God Race. The 13th ranked Illusion God Race was skilled in the Soul Dao and Illusion Dao. Through constant transformation and intermixing of the real and false, they could imitate anything, even soul energy and bloodline energy.


    Probably not even Xin Wuheng had noticed that there were many spies of the Illusion God Sacred Land within Giant God Hall.

 1500 The Ability of Heaven Mending

    Chapter 1500 - The Ability of Heaven Mending


    Within the Light Race Divine Kingdom, both of the invading Death God Guards had been killed, but the hole still existed, the struggle between Twilight Valley and the Heaven''s Legacy Race not yet concluded.


    This Divine Kingdom was of an extremely high level. No one else except Twilight Valley had the ability to repair the hole. However, all of Twilight Valley''s concentration was on defending against any further intrusion from the Heaven''s Legacy Race. He had no time for anything else.


    On the side, Zhao Feng was immersed in the Primal Chaos Scripture, a flood of information sweeping through his mind. The information regarding the ability of the Heaven Mending Race to repair spaces was incredibly detailed, even a little disorderly. After all, the Primal Chaos Scripture was primarily for passing on arts and combat skills. Thus, Zhao Feng found learning the space-repairing abilities of the Heaven Mending Race to be somewhat more difficult.


    Even so, Zhao Feng still had to study them.


    "It seems that repairing the space of the Fan Universe is also a kind of cultivation for the Heaven Mending Race!" Zhao Feng came to understand that, when the Heaven Mending Race used Primal Chaos energy to repair the spatial fabric of the Fan Universe, they were engaging in a kind of cultivation and comprehension.


    The entirety of the Fan Universe could be said to have been born from an infinite plane of Primal Chaos energy.


    While learning and studying, Zhao Feng had a part of his mind look through the intelligence reports he had taken from the Heavenly Yao Hall. This information included incidents big and small that had taken place over the last hundreds of millions of years in the Chixing Zone. The most detailed reports were on incidents that had taken place recently. This included information that only the five-star factions and the Sacred Land of the Chixing Zone knew about and included many details on the inside stories of these incidents.


    "Eh?" Zhao Feng suddenly found some information related to Giant God Race.


    After reading through it, he paled. It turned out that the Illusion God Sacred Land had repeatedly helped Giant God Hall to lower its guard. Secretly, many members of the Illusion God Race had infiltrated Giant God Race to observe its every movement. Their true goal was the Ninth God Eye.


    Zhao Feng had some understanding of the Illusion God Race. It was extremely powerful among the ancient races, known for transformation, deceit, infiltration, and disguise.


    "Truly, you can know someone for a long time and not understand their true nature!" Zhao Feng''s expression sank. From Xin Wuheng''s tone at the time, he could tell that Xin Wuheng rather trusted the Illusion God Sacred Land.


    "I have to inform Xin Wuheng!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    He did not know if his visit to Giant God Race had been noticed or not by the spies of the Illusion God Race, but at this moment, he had to inform Xin Wuheng of what was going on.


    Rumble! Boom!


    An enormous explosion resounded through the Divine Kingdom.


    "Not good! There''s an expert outside attacking the Divine Kingdom!" Twilight Valley grimaced.


    He was currently in an equal fight with the Heaven''s Legacy Race. However, the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s faction was enormous, and it could move freely outside the Divine Kingdom. They had sent a few members to attack Twilight Valley''s Divine Kingdom from the outside world.


    Although Twilight Valley could move the Divine Kingdom, it couldn''t move very quickly and probably wouldn''t do much.


    As those experts outside attacked, the Divine Kingdom would gradually be affected, and that gap would get larger and larger.


    Zhao Feng estimated that the Heaven''s Legacy Race could have sent in God Lords by now, but they had not done so.


    "They plan to widen the gap so that it''s large enough to set up a spatial passage that they can use to freely enter and exit the Light Race Divine Kingdom!" Twilight Valley managed to barely squeeze these words out of his mouth.


    Zhao Feng was startled. If this happened, they would end up being fish in a barrel.


    "We can only ask for reinforcements from Giant God Hall!" God Lord Cheng Yun worriedly said.


    The Light Race had a temporary alliance with Giant God Hall. Now that the Light Race Divine Kingdom was in danger, it was Giant God Hall''s duty to offer a helping hand.


    "Let me do it! I happen to have something to tell Xin Wuheng!" Zhao Feng stepped forward and took out his message token.


    "Only six days! If Xin Wuheng doesn''t get here by then, it will be too late!" Twilight Valley grimly said.


    Giant God Hall:


    On this day, God Lord Dreamcolor, a person of incredibly high status in the Illusion God Sacred Land, had come to pay a personal visit.


    This action once more intimidated the other five-star factions of the Chixing Zone, making them put aside any plans to make trouble for Giant God Hall.


    "Giant God Hall is most honored by this visit, God Lord Dreamcolor!" Xin Wuheng came out to personally welcome God Lord Dreamcolor.


    God Lord Dreamcolor had an extremely high status in the Illusion God Sacred Land and was a Third Heaven God Lord possessing a thick bloodline and incredible talent. She was the most talented individual to appear within the Illusion God Race in hundreds of millions of years.


    Of course, God Lord Dreamcolor was also acclaimed in the Chixing Zone for her beauty. Many of the men in Giant God Hall stared at God Lord Dreamcolor in the sky. Although she was surrounded by a white mist that concealed her appearance, her alluring and well-endowed figure was visible for all to see.


    After being welcomed by the upper echelon members of Giant God Hall, the Illusion God Sacred Land party was led into the central hall.


    Once both sides had exchanged a few pleasantries:


    "For what reason has God Lord Dreamcolor graced us with your presence?" Xin Wuheng got straight to the point.


    "Giant God Hall is a newly-established five-star faction of the Chixing Zone. I have come here today to see how Giant God Hall is doing," God Lord Dreamcolor spoke in a pleasant and graceful tone.


    "Everything is on the right track. In every aspect, Giant God Hall is practically on par with all the other five-star factions of the Chixing Zone!" Xin Wuheng smiled.


    When Ancient God Hall wasn''t completely devoured by the Ancient Soul Race yet, the Illusion God Sacred Land had treated the Giant God Race rather well. Now that the Illusion God Sacred Land had provided assistance to Giant God Hall, Xin Wuheng felt extremely grateful.


    "In addition, I know that Hall Master Xin has some connection to the Ninth God Eye, but there are too many people after the Ninth God Eye. If Giant God Hall connects with the Ninth God Eye again, the Illusion God Sacred Land might not be able to do much." God Lord Dreamcolor spoke in a soft and soothing tone.


    On the surface, she appeared concerned that the Ninth God Eye might bring trouble for Giant God Hall.


    This Xin also understands this," Xin Wuheng indifferently said.


    "If Hall Master Xin still has some relationship with the Ninth God Eye, the Illusion God Sacred Land might be able to serve as your protective umbrella!" God Lord Dreamcolor continued, her words brimming with friendliness.


    Xin Wuheng was just about to reply when he received a message. As Zhao Feng''s voice resounded in his mind, Xin Wuheng turned grave for a moment.


    God Lord Dreamcolor noticed that momentary shift in Xin Wuheng''s expression.


    In truth, she had come this time to see what was going on. For the domain around Xin Wuheng''s place of seclusion to suddenly open and close with none of the Illusion God Race spies seeing anyone going in was truly suspicious.


    Moreover, in Thunderstorm Canyon, a subordinate faction of the Heaven''s Legacy Race had been destroyed. God Lord Dreamcolor sensed that these two incidents might be connected, so she had personally come to Giant God Hall.


    "God Lord Dreamcolor, this Xin has a matter that requires me to leave at once!" Xin Wuheng suddenly said.


    He now knew everything from Zhao Feng, and he felt rather helpless. As the Light Race Divine Kingdom was asking for help, Xin Wuheng had to go to its aid.


    But there were spies of the Illusion God Sacred Land within Giant God Hall, making it rather difficult for him to leave in secret. Thus, Xin Wuheng decided to get straight to the point.


    "For what reason must Hall Master Xin leave in such haste?" God Lord Dreamcolor asked in surprise.


    "A good friend of mine is in danger! I just received his request for help." Xin Wuheng gave a rough summary.


    In this sort of situation, God Lord Dreamcolor naturally could not stop him. After all, this concerned the life of a God Lord.


    God Lord Dreamcolor led the members of the Illusion God Sacred Land away from Giant God Hall while Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder set off for the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    "Lady Dreamcolor, the ''good friend'' Xin Wuheng referred to should be the Light Race," the yellow-robed man beside her uttered.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land had some understanding of the relationship between Giant God Hall and the Light Race.


    "Follow them and see what''s going on," God Lord Dreamcolor softly said, and then her body gradually vanished into the white mist.


    "Yes!" The yellow-robed man replied.


    But inwardly, he was rather depressed. Following Xin Wuheng was not easy. Was the goal of the Illusion God Sacred Land not the Ninth God Eye? Why did they have to keep a watch on Xin Wuheng''s relationship with the Light Race?


    Within the Light Race Divine Kingdom:


    Brrrooom!


    Massive booms rang out as the gap gradually expanded. Twilight Valley was too busy fighting back against the Heaven''s Legacy Race to do anything about this.


    This was now the fifth day. At this point, the gap was wide enough to allow three Second Heaven God Lords entrance. "Xin Wuheng is coming!" Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    "Okay!" Twilight Valley was delighted.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Outside the Divine Kingdom, the sounds of a heaven-shaking battle could be heard.


    Xin Wuheng reported that there were two top-class Second Heaven God Lords outside. Although Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder couldn''t win, they could hold the enemies down and slow down the rate of expansion.


    Half a day later:


    "Senior Twilight Valley, this matter can be brought to an end!" Zhao Feng suddenly stood up.


    "Okay, it''s all on you!" Twilight Valley''s eyes sparkled. He also knew that Zhao Feng had obtained the legacy of the Heaven Mending Race.


    Zhao Feng had spent this entire time studying how to repair dimensions. For the look of it, he had grasped how to repair this hole.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng vanished, next appearing at the gap in the Light Race Divine Kingdom. With a flip of his palm, he sent out a stream of Primal Chaos energy.


    "Progenitor of all things!" Zhao Feng extended his hand, and the stream of Primal Chaos energy slowly approached the spatial hole.


    The skills for repairing spatial holes primarily used the "progenitor" aspect of Primal Chaos energy.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Primal Chaos energy appeared at the hole and continued to extend. The various energies within the Primal Chaos energy, such as Space, Water, and Wood, began to ripple. The energy began to connect and slowly fuse with the edges of the hole.


    It didn''t take long before Zhao Feng finished repairing the spatial hole.


    "Success!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    After all, it was just a hole, not some large fissure or shattered dimension. The difficulty was not that great.


    Meanwhile, in a mysterious dimension:


    "What? The hole..." Yu Liuping''s arms trembled. He had done his utmost, but the hole was still gradually repaired. "Haaa, it was a Divine Kingdom with an owner, so it''s only right that the difficulty was too great..." Yu Liuping sighed.


    At the same time, he messaged the God Lords near the Light Race Divine Kingdom to retreat and wait for another opportunity.


    At this moment, God Lord Stellar Aspect appeared in the dimension.


    "Sir, according to a reliable source, the Ninth God Eye recently obtained a Heaven Mending Race legacy from the Tongtai Zone!" God Lord Stellar Aspect said in excitement.


    Yu Liuping''s face froze, his eyes going wide, and invisible pressure began to unrestrainedly pour out of his body.

 1501 The Sacred Land Attacks

    Chapter 1501 - The Sacred Land Attacks


    "Sir, according to a reliable source, the Ninth God Eye recently obtained a Heaven Mending Race legacy from the Tongtai Zone!" God Lord Stellar Aspect said in excitement.


    Yu Liuping''s face froze, his eyes going wide, and invisible pressure began to unrestrainedly pour out of his body.


    "To think it was him! Zhao Feng!" Yu Liuping found it hard to restrain his excitement.


    The clues all indicated that the person with the greatest connection to Yu Heng''s death was Zhao Feng. The person Yu Liuping wanted to kill the most was also Zhao Feng; the Light Race was only the temporary focus of his ire.


    "While you were by the Heaven Lord''s side, I couldn''t kill you, but now that you''ve delivered yourself to my doorstep,


    I''ll make you long for death!" Yu Liuping''s voice was sinister and cold.


    "Sir, according to the information we gathered, Zhao Feng obtained the Heaven Mending Race legacy from the Tongtai Zone and received a significant boost in strength. It might almost be at the Third Heaven!" God Lord Stellar Aspect thought for a few moments before speaking, his eyes dark.


    When Beiming Hui first captured Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng had displayed incredible strength. Afterward, Zhao Feng had made all sorts of requests in the Heaven''s Legacy Race Divine Kingdom, allowing him to increase his power, and now, he had obtained a legacy of the Heaven Mending Race. From this, God Lord Stellar Aspect conjectured that Zhao Feng''s strength was on the verge of reaching the Third Heaven.


    "Oh? Truly the Ninth God Eye." Yu Liuping gradually calmed back down.


    Although he was anxious to get revenge, he could not lose his reason over such a thing. Now that Zhao Feng was almost as strong as a Third Heaven, and given that he was with the Light Race''s Twilight Valley as well as Xin Wuheng, dealing with him would be rather problematic.


    Crucially, the Illusion God Sacred Land was also after the Ninth God Eye and was keeping a close eye on the Chixing Zone. If they attacked the Light Race Divine Kingdom and drew the attention of the Sacred Land, they would only make the situation even worse.


    "Rather than attacking ourselves, why not let the Sacred Land serve as the vanguard...?" Yu Liuping muttered.


    Gradually, he closed his eyes and began to calculate. He could not predict anything about the Ninth God Eye, but he had the power to invisibly influence and push the factions of the Chixing Zone, including the Sacred Land.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land had many spies in the Chixing Zone. Yu Liuping grasped the Dao of Destiny and succeeded in subtly leaking information to one of its important members.


    In the Illusion God Sacred Land, within her circular palace, God Lord Dreamcolor suddenly got to her feet upon receiving a message.


    "I want this matter kept an absolute secret. Tell this matter to no one else!" After giving this order to her trusted subordinate, God Lord Dreamcolor got in touch with the yellow-robed man.


    The yellow-robed man was the Illusion God Race God Lord who had followed Xin Wuheng, and he was currently near the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    "There were two unknown God Lords. The bloodline compatibility on them was rather low, so these bloodlines were probably implanted. They might be members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" the yellow-robed man messaged.


    Upon learning this, God Lord Dreamcolor was practically sure that the Ninth God Eye was hidden within the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    "The Ninth God Eye was actually hiding in the territory of the Light Race, and Xin Wuheng''s reason of helping the Light Race was false, as he was really going to save the Ninth God Eye. In addition, the Heaven''s Legacy Race faction hidden within the Chixing Zone is not as weak as I imagined." God Lord Dreamcolor began to think.


    As the Heaven''s Legacy Race was involved, she had to carefully consider her options. For such important news to arrive so abruptly was no coincidence. The Heaven''s Legacy Race might have pushed it along.


    It wasn''t long before several other people appeared in the hall.


    "You know of the Ninth God Eye''s location? Is the information reliable?" a violet-haired and bewitching man exuding a bizarre aura asked.


    "Dreamcolor, explain the situation!" a slightly plump old woman with blue hair said.


    The others revealed expressions of anticipation.


    "Where is God Lord Nightrain?" God Lord Dreamcolor questioned.


    God Lord Nightrain was a Third Heaven expert of the older generation and extremely powerful.


    "He just went out traveling not too long ago," the old woman indifferently said.


    "Okay, then I''ll be blunt. The Ninth God Eye is located inside the Light Race Divine Kingdom, but a Heaven''s Legacy Race faction might be hiding in the shadows...." God Lord Dreamcolor had an indifferent expression as her voice echoed through the hall.


    "Hmph, they''re looking down too much on the Illusion God Sacred Land!"


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Race faction hidden in Thunderstorm Canyon was recently destroyed. The Heaven''s Legacy Race members hiding in the shadow can''t be that powerful."


    The upper echelon members began to discuss. This was the Chixing Zone, and the Illusion God Sacred Land feared no faction here. However, the Heaven''s Legacy Race was extremely crafty, so they needed to be careful.


    After a long while, they came up with a plan.


    "Should we inform His Excellency Nethercloud?" the bewitching man suddenly asked.


    "There will be time enough to inform His Excellency once we confirm that the Ninth God Eye is actually inside the Light Race Divine Kingdom," God Lord Dreamcolor firmly said.


    God King Nethercloud was the strongest expert of the Illusion God Sacred Land. When it became known that the Ninth God Eye had appeared in the Tongtai Zone, God King Nethercloud departed. Although they could not be sure if the Ninth God Eye was in the Tongtai Zone, they were sure that it wasn''t in the Chixing Zone, as they had already searched the zone for many years.


    "Let''s move out! Start secretly mobilizing our forces!" God Lord Dreamcolor ordered.


    Many members of the Illusion God Sacred Land received a secret message and began to move out.


    Within the Light Race Divine Kingdom, Twilight Valley sighed in relief and smiled at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had played a significant role in ruining the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s plans by sealing up the gap.


    Twilight Valley had actually been thinking about leaving the Chixing Zone for a spell, but with Zhao Feng here to repair any spatial holes, he no longer had to fear invasion from the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    Twilight Valley seated himself next to the Tree of Time and began to cultivate. Fighting with Yu Liuping was extremely draining.


    Zhao Feng also entered a short period of seclusion. After fixing a spatial hole for the first time, he had come to understand some new things.


    He was already at the peak of the First Heaven. If he came upon any new insights, it was best if he stopped to cultivate and ponder it. If things went well, he could even use the chance to smoothly break into the Second Heaven.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, the little thieving cat, Black Destruction Dragon, and others were also cultivating, using the resources obtained from the Ancient Soul Hall Master. After all, the Ancient Soul Hall Master was a God Lord of a five-star faction, and he had even colluded with the Heaven''s Legacy Race. He had owned many resources.


    Outside the Light Race Divine Kingdom, Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder decided to stay for a few months. If nothing strange occurred, they planned to depart.


    However, half a month later, Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder suddenly sensed several powerful energies rapidly


    approaching. The two of them stood up and immediately told Zhao Feng and Twilight Valley of what was going on.


    A group soon appeared, floating in the air.


    "Good Sirs from the Illusion God Sacred Land, for what reason have you come here?" Xin Wuheng stepped forward and asked.


    But he already sensed that something was wrong. The Illusion God Sacred Land had probably learned about the Ninth God Eye. Perhaps when Zhao Feng paid a visit to Giant God Hall, the spies of the Illusion God Sacred Land had already noticed.


    "Xin Wuheng, you actually hid things from the Sacred Land and were secretly colluding with the Ninth God Eye!" God Lord Dreamcolor had a grim expression as she shouted.


    "By doing this, you will bring a calamity down upon Giant God Hall - upon the entire Chixing Zone!" the blue-haired old woman said.


    "Work with us to capture the Ninth God Eye and the Sacred Land will not pursue this matter any further!" the bewitching man said in a feminine voice.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land exposed everything and radiated an imposing aura.


    Of the three speakers, God Lord Dreamcolor and the blue-haired old woman were Third Heaven God Lords, second in authority in the Sacred Land only to God King Nethercloud. The bewitching man was a peak Second Heaven, but since he could stand alongside these two Third Heaven God Lords, his strength could not be underestimated.


    Xin Wuheng and Grand Elder were startled by the immense pressure unleashed by the God Lords of the Illusion God Sacred Land. God Lord Dreamcolor, upon seeing the hesitant gazes in the eyes of Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder, knew that the Ninth God Eye was within the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    "Choose! Xin Wuheng, the fate of Giant God Hall relies entirely on your decision!" God Lord Dreamcolor coldly spoke, her attitude entirely different from the passion she had once shown to Giant God Hall.


    The expressions of Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder dimmed. The Illusion God Sacred Land was being completely blunt, even using Giant God Hall to threaten them.


    At this moment:


    Swish!


    A spatial vortex appeared near Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder.


    "Go in!" Xin Wuheng called out, and he and the Grand Elder entered the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    He used his actions to indicate his choice.


    Very well, Xin Wuheng! You will come to regret your choice!" God Lord Dreamcolor''s eyes were cold and severe. She didn''t expect Xin Wuheng to make this sort of choice.


    Meanwhile, within the Light Race Divine Kingdom, Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder appeared in the Light Race''s forbidden ground.


    "Brother Zhao, Giant God Hall has wronged you." Xin Wuheng sighed.


    Without Zhao Feng''s help, Giant God Hall would have never been able to set itself up. Thus, Xin Wuheng preferred for Giant God Hall to experience a crisis rather than give up Zhao Feng. Moreover, the Illusion God Sacred Land''s conduct had left him extremely unhappy.


    The moment he made his decision, he messaged everyone in Giant God Hall, telling them to move into the Divine Kingdom and prepare to leave.


    "That''s not for certain. The Heaven''s Legacy Race might be behind this." Zhao Feng''s expression was calm, and he did not cast any blame.


    He had conjectured that it was most likely the Heaven''s Legacy Race that would attack first upon realizing his identity, but instead, the Illusion God Sacred Land came. And besides, the current situation wasn''t that bad. It would be extremely easy for Zhao Feng to leave this place.


    But Xin Wuheng and the Light Race members would suffer in his place. Besides that, Giant God Hall needed time to move.


    "Relax. They''ll need some time before they can break in," Twilight Valley said.


    The Light Race Divine Kingdom was of an extremely high level, and the Illusion God Sacred Land had seemingly not sent its God King. And besides that, Zhao Feng had the ability to repair dimensions. In short, the situation wasn''t as bad as it seemed.


    "Everyone, please help yourself to the resources of the Light Race Divine Kingdom," Twilight Valley generously said.


    But in truth, it was just Zhao Feng, Xin Wuheng, and the Grand Elder.


    Although the Sacred Land was powerful, their own side was not weak. They could use this time to increase their strength and cultivation, making them more capable of dealing with any sort of danger.


    Zhao Feng entered the Dream Divine Kingdom and used his own authority to expand his subordinate faction. There were numerous races from the top fifty, and even top twenty, within the Ancient Dream Realm, and there were also quite a few God Lords.


    At this moment:


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Massive booms began to resound through the Light Race Divine Kingdom. The Illusion God Sacred Land had begun its assault!


    Outside, many Ancient Gods of the Illusion God Sacred Land and seven or eight First Heaven and Second Heaven God Lords were attacking the Light Race Divine Kingdom. God Lord Dreamcolor and her fellow leaders hovered in the air, having yet to join the battle.


    On the side, several array masters were laying down offensive arrays.


    "How long will it take to break through?" God Lord Dreamcolor calmly asked.


    "This Divine Kingdom is extremely tough, and it also has an owner. It will take around half a month," an array master replied.


    "Half a month is too long!" God Lord Dreamcolor grunted and then charged forward.


    The blue-haired old woman followed close behind.


    The two Third Heaven God Lords suddenly attacked the Light Race Divine Kingdom. In an instant, the world around the Light Race Divine Kingdom began to shake and sway.

 1502 Constantly Shifting

    Chapter 1502 - Constantly Shifting


    Everyone within the Light Race Divine Kingdom felt the world tremble, and their minds became uneasy. They were well aware of the power of the Sacred Land. Two Third Heaven God Lords were leading the group, and there were eight First and Second Heaven God Lords, and many more half-step God Lords and top-class Ancient Gods.


    But this was not even the entirety of the Sacred Land''s strength, only the forces they could muster in the short time available. There were also members left behind to guard the Illusion God Sacred Land, and God King Nethercloud of the Illusion God Sacred Land had not appeared either.


    "I''m afraid that the Divine Kingdom will be breached in no less than ten days." Twilight Valley was clearest about the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s situation. Even with the influence of his Time Law, ten days was only a thousand-some days of cultivation, a truly short period for a God Lord.


    In this period of time, Zhao Feng immersed himself in the Primal Chaos Scripture, cultivating Primal Chaos energy. He had only just recently obtained a basic understanding of Primal Chaos energy, and there was still some gap between his Primal Chaos energy and Beiming Hui''s.


    Besides that, he had a part of his mind study the Dream God Eye.


    What puzzled him was that the Dream God Eye was now even stronger than when it first evolved, as if it was still in the process of evolving. Of course, this might have been some misperception from Zhao Feng. Perhaps it was because he just didn''t understand his God''s Spiritual Eye when it first evolved and was slowly becoming proficient with it. After all, logically speaking, a God Eye was as high as one could get.


    Ten days quickly went by. The explosions and vibrations had never once ceased.


    "They''re going to get in eventually, so let''s just open an entrance for them," Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    Everyone else was startled. While opening up an entrance for the enemy sounded rather absurd, Zhao Feng was right. After all, the Sacred Land would breach the Divine Kingdom eventually, so it was better to let them in to prevent any further damage to the Divine Kingdom.


    "Okay!" Twilight Valley nodded.


    Outside, the Sacred Land members attacking the Divine Kingdom suddenly sensed ripples of Space Law energy.


    Hissss!


    The point they were attacking suddenly tore open on its own, revealing a gap. Through this gap, they could see the scenery of the Divine Kingdom.


    ¡°They actually opened up the Divine Kingdom on their own! Watch out for a trap!" The blue-haired old woman''s turbid eyes gleamed.


    "Get ready to go inside!" God Lord Dreamcolor had also thought of this possibility, but since the Divine Kingdom had opened up on its own, they couldn''t not go in. As long as they were cautious, they had enough strength to crush the opposition.


    Yes!" The members of the Illusion God Sacred Land prepared to form arrays. This was the only way they could remain useful in the following battle.


    It didn''t take long before all of the Illusion God Sacred Land''s forces had finished preparing and charged into the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    "Halt!" But they didn''t advance far before God Lord Dreamcolor suddenly ordered them to stop.


    In the distance, thick Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was churning, covering the area in such a thick fog that even the Divine Sense of a Third Heaven God Lord was extremely limited.


    "This is clearly the work of the Divine Kingdom''s controller! There might be an ambush within!" God Lord Dreamcolor called out.


    They needed to be cautious in an enemy Divine Kingdom.


    "Let me go and take a look at what sort of scheme they''re cooking up!" The bewitching man volunteered.


    "Okay!" God Lord Dreamcolor nodded.


    The bewitching man was a powerful peak Second Heaven, and his proficiency in the Illusion Dao exceeded even hers. In addition, the man also had a secret skill that made him the ideal choice for vanguard.


    The bewitching man soon led four First Heaven God Lords toward the fog.


    At this moment:


    Hwoooo!


    Xin Wuheng, the Grand Elder, God Lord Cheng Yun, and several half-step God Lord Light Race descendants charged out of the fog.


    "Hmph, Xin Wuheng, I don''t know where you got the courage to dare and oppose a Sacred Land!" The bewitching man snorted.


    Whoosh!


    He went up to battle with Xin Wuheng. The two parties were soon embroiled in battle.


    In a flash, all kinds of energy were shooting through the world. The earth crumbled and groaned while winds howled and clouds roiled.


    "Xin Wuheng, today, I will end your life!" the bewitching man bellowed, and then his body became ethereal, shining with a rainbow of colors.


    On the other side, Xin Wuheng activated his Giant God Race bloodline, turning into a ten-thousand-foot giant that exuded a vast pressure.


    But in terms of bloodline, the Illusion God Race was actually a little higher than the Giant God Race, and in terms of personal strength and cultivation, the bewitching man was still stronger than Xin Wuheng. It was actually Xin Wuheng who was afraid of the bewitching man.


    In the fog behind him, Zhao Feng did not attack, continuing to observe the battlefield. He was the Ninth God Eye; once he appeared, the Illusion God Sacred Land would summon all its forces to attack.


    "Although Xin Wuheng''s force is weaker, in the Light Race Divine Kingdom, the terrain favors them." Zhao Feng was not at all worried.


    Twilight Valley was in the core of the Divine Kingdom, controlling the entire situation. Under his control, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi flowed into the bodies of the members on their side, and it was easier for them to use the energy of the world. Meanwhile, the enemy was weakened in all aspects. The longer this battle went on, the more it favored Zhao Feng''s side.


    "Die!" The bewitching man produced a silver fan. Waving it, he unleashed a howling silver gale.


    This silver gale stirred up silver "starlight," which spread outward like a cloud of powder.


    "This is¡­Illusion Dao energy!" As Xin Wuheng touched this silver starlight, he immediately sensed it penetrating into his soul.


    However, the amount of silver starlight that had penetrated his soul was little when compared to his comrades. Their Soul Intents were momentarily upset by this power, and abnormalities began to pop up in their actions. Even with Twilight Valley''s assistance, they slowly began to be pushed back.


    As the Giant God Race and Light Race side was pushed back, quite a few of them were injured, one of these being Xin Wuheng. After all, he was facing an enemy who surpassed him in every aspect. The bewitching man was also keeping a watch on the overall state of the battle.


    In the rear, the other forces of the Illusion God Sacred Land couldn''t help but smile.


    "Not bad! He understands how to keep a watch on the overall state of the battle and ensure that it remains under his control!" God Lord Dreamcolor''s lips curled into a breathtaking smile.


    At present, they were fighting in the open while their adversary remained in the shadows. What the Illusion God Sacred Land needed to do was ruin their enemy''s plans while paying the smallest price.


    Within the fog:


    "Senior Twilight Valley, prepare for the counterattack!" Zhao Feng smiled.


    Before opening up the Light Race Divine Kingdom, they had all discussed and planned out a strategy.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye began to thrum with Eye Intent, a dreamy light surging out. At the same time, a mark on the souls of all the combatants on their side began to flash. This was the God Eye symbol that Zhao Feng had placed on all of them.


    A soul energy that could destroy all erupted from these God Eye marks. The moment this soul energy appeared, the silver starlight that had penetrated into their souls was instantly obliterated, allowing their Soul Intent to recover.


    At the same time, the world suddenly shifted, and the pressure on the enemy side abruptly increased. Weight and Spacetime energy descended on their bodies, pushing their cultivations even lower.


    This was the Light Race Divine Kingdom. With Twilight Valley here, he could alter the entire world and control time and space.


    "Counterattack!" Xin Wuheng bellowed.


    Everyone''s eyes flashed. Bolstered by the energy of the world, they attacked with even greater strength.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land''s forces were caught off guard by these abrupt developments. Xin Wuheng managed to even get a slight upper hand against the bewitching man. From this, one could see just how powerful the pressure on the enemy side was.


    This sudden reversal caused the Illusion God Sacred Land''s forces to grimace.


    "Time for this old body to do some work!" the blue-haired old woman suddenly spoke.


    Bzzz!


    She waved a hand, throwing out a long-prepared array. At the center of this array was a golden-jade silk cloth.


    Once the array activated, a powerful Law energy began to seep into the dimension.


    The bewitching man was delighted.


    "What''s going on? The boost from the dimension has weakened!" Xin Wuheng noticed something strange.


    The others were in the same situation. The boost in power the Light Race Divine Kingdom gave them had weakened, as had the pressure on the enemy.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land has laid out a special array that affects my control over the Light Race Divine Kingdom!" Twilight Valley''s voice resounded in the minds of Xin Wuheng, Zhao Feng, and the others.


    Of course, this special array could only affect a limited area, not the entire Divine Kingdom, but this area was enough to cover the site of the battle.


    "It seems like the Illusion God Sacred Land has come very well-prepared," Zhao Feng muttered.


    Although the blue-haired old woman of the Illusion God Sacred Land had yet to take part in the battle, she played a similar role as Twilight Valley, influencing the battle by affecting the world.


    Zhao Feng turned his eyes on that golden-jade silk cloth at the center of the array.


    "That''s a Space Ancestral Artifact fragment!" Zhao Feng''s eyes glowed.


    Within the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng''s Space Ancestral Artifact fragment trembled. It was clear that these two fragments belonged to the same Ancestral Artifact.


    At this time, several figures were floating outside the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    "Sir, when will we strike?" God Lord Stellar Aspect messaged.


    Yu Liuping''s eyes were closed as he calculated and divined. After a long time, he finally spoke. "There''s no rush. They''ve only just started to fight. Neither side has consumed much power."


    "Sir, if we don''t inform the Heaven Lord, won''t we...?" God Lord Stellar Aspect had another worry on his mind.


    The leader of the Heaven''s Legacy Race was the Heaven''s Legacy Race Heaven Lord, and though they had now discovered the Ninth God Eye, they had not reported it.


    "The Heaven Lord''s plan originally did not include the Ninth God Eye. The appearance of the Ninth God Eye was a coincidence. Even without the Ninth God Eye, I am confident that the Heaven Lord can still succeed," Yu Liuping calmly said.


    Before the Ninth God Eye''s appearance, the Heaven''s Legacy Race had already reached the final stages of its plan.


    Of course, he primarily wanted to kill Zhao Feng to avenge his grandson. If the Heaven Lord found out about this matter, he would probably capture Zhao Feng, not kill him.


    "On the contrary, this Ninth God Eye is a massive variable. If we can''t use it for ourselves, it''s better to exterminate it so that it doesn''t influence our plan. If the Heaven Lord comes asking questions, I will take responsibility for everything!" Yu Liuping added.


    God Lord Stellar Aspect was slightly relieved to hear Yu Liuping say this.


    At this moment, Yu Liuping''s eyes flashed with a sharp light. "The Illusion God Sacred Land is about to start the next phase of its assault!"

 1503 The Terrifying Ninth God Eye

    Chapter 1503 - The Terrifying Ninth God Eye


    Within the Light Race Divine Kingdom, the blue-haired old woman took action, once more reversing the course of the battle. The Sacred Land forces had recovered and began a counterattack.


    But this was only the beginning.


    "All of you, enter the battle!" God Lord Dreamcolor turned to the many half-step God Lords and top-class Ancient Gods at her side.


    They were already in their arrays. If they attacked together, they could unleash impressive power.


    Kabooom!


    Several dozen members operated three large arrays in moving toward the battlefield. Each array had seven or eight experts of the sub-God-Lord level. When they worked together to unleash the array''s power, they were somewhat stronger than a First Heaven God Lord.


    This also meant that these experts entering the field was like three top-class First Heaven God Lords joining the battle. This strength was enough to instantly widen the Sacred Land''s advantage and allow it to crush its foe.


    "Let me see what moves you have left!" God Lord Dreamcolor''s beautiful eyes were fixed ahead.


    She had these Ancient Gods and half-step God Lords enter the battle to force her foe into making a move. Although the Sacred Land was strong, this was enemy territory and they could not be careless. God Lord Dreamcolor did not underestimate her foe and was very cautious in this battle.


    The Giant God Race and Light Race forces did not panic upon seeing these three arrays approach the battlefield.


    In the fog behind them, Zhao Feng smiled. "It''s your turn to enter the field!"


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    His Spacetime Robe flapped, upon which his three clones appeared.


    At this time, Zhao Kong, Zhao Wang, and Zhao Wan were all First Heaven God Lords. Zhao Wang and Zhao Wan had only recently broken through and had not participated in a major battle yet. This was the perfect chance to temper them.


    Thwish!


    The three charged out of the fog to support the Light Race and Giant God Race.


    "These three are...?" The bewitching man appeared confused. These three weren''t in their intelligence reports.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s three clones used the abilities of their eye-bloodlines.


    "Extreme Space Blade!"


    "Death Spear!"


    "Sword of Piercing Metal!"


    The three clones formed powerful eye-bloodline techniques and attacked the three formations sent by the Sacred Land.


    "They''re all God Eye descendants!" The bewitching man was alarmed. He even conjectured that these three might be from a faction of God Eye descendants, but when would the Giant God Race or Light Race have had time to build a relationship with such a faction?


    "They actually had allies like this?" God Lord Dreamcolor had also not expected for her opponent to counter in such a way.


    Descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes normally had rather thin bloodlines, making them weaker than Illusion God Race bloodline descendants. However, these three were rather formidable, particularly Zhao Kong. He was the first to become a God Lord, and his Quasi God Eye level Eyes of Spacetime placed him far above the rest.


    And their opponents were just groups of Ancient Gods and half-step God Lords gathered together in arrays.


    This unexpected move from her foe made God Lord Dreamcolor even more cautious, and she decided to wait and see before she gave another order.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The three God Eye descendants each had a supreme-quality divine artifact, and with their high-level eye-bloodline techniques, they soon seized the advantage. The arrays of the Illusion God Race Ancient Gods and half-step God Lords were repeatedly pushed back. Zhao Kong even had the time to occasionally attack the bewitching man and take some pressure off Xin Wuheng.


    Twilight Valley, who was still controlling the Tree of Time, couldn''t help but shout, "Good!"


    In truth, he could mobilize the God Lord level powers in the Divine Kingdom to join the battle, but that would distract himself, causing him to lose ground in the struggle with the blue-haired old woman. It was for the best if Zhao Feng could handle the plans of the enemy on his own.


    "Break!" Zhao Kong activated his supreme-quality divine artifact and his Eyes of Spacetime, forming an extremely long and slender blade of silver.


    Whoosh! Bang!


    The moment the blade appeared, it pierced through space and instantly struck an enemy array and blasted it apart. The people controlling the array instantly paled, vomiting blood as they hurriedly retreated. Without the formation, they naturally did not have the strength to fight against Zhao Kong.


    "Kill!" Zhao Kong''s handsome face was cold, and his eye pulsed with energy. One tiny Space blade after another flew through the air.


    Kaploosh!


    A Rank Nine Ancient God was instantly killed by one of these blades, unable to put up any resistance.


    On the other side, Zhao Wan and Zhao Wang were also dominating their opponents. It wouldn''t take long until they also broke the arrays opposing them.


    The current situation was extremely favorable to the Light Race, but none of them seemed very happy.


    "The next part won''t be that easy to deal with...." Zhao Feng turned his focus onto God Lord Dreamcolor.


    The Sacred Land still had the Third Heaven God Lord Dreamcolor waiting in the wings, and beside her were still three Second Heavens and one First Heaven. This God Lord force far outnumbered the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s.


    Zhao Feng could hold down God Lord Dreamcolor, but he couldn''t do much against the other God Lords of the Illusion God Sacred Land. Thus, Zhao Feng could still not recklessly move. He needed to wear out his foe a little longer. Once he did move out, the enemy would probably mobilize its entire force.


    At this moment:


    Boom!


    The yellow-robed man on the Sacred Land side suddenly charged forward to attack Zhao Kong. He thrust out his palms, firing off several dark yellow palms of energy that shattered Zhao Kong''s attacks.


    "Sir, thank you for saving us!" The remaining four half-step and Ancient Gods were filled with gratitude as they hastily retreated.


    "If Sir dares to meddle with the affairs of the Illusion God Sacred Land, we will not be polite!" the yellow-robed man shouted as he fiercely attacked Zhao Kong.


    The dark yellow palms of energy rumbled forward, and every time these palms shattered, they would turn into a dark yellow fog that filled the area.


    "Illusion Heaven Prison!" The yellow-robed man suddenly formed a spell. The dark yellow fog instantly came under his control and began to converge on Zhao Kong.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Kong sensed that something was wrong and tried to dodge, but it was too late. More and more fog attached itself to Zhao Kong, the Illusion Dao energy within affecting his mindset.


    But at this moment, a powerful Soul Intent surged out of Zhao Kong''s body. This Soul Intent naturally belonged to Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    Spiritually, countless bolts of lightning attacked the yellow fog, obliterating it.


    "What?" The yellow-robed man immediately retreated, sensing danger from this Soul Intent.


    But at the same time, he was furious that his attack had been ruined. Otherwise, he could have killed Zhao Kong!


    "It''s that Soul Intent again! But that person hiding in the rear isn''t taking part in the battle. Is their goal to draw out the battle?" God Lord Dreamcolor''s expression darkened, and then she shouted, "You lot, get in there!"


    She once more ordered a large-scale attack. She wanted to see what sort of plan her foes had this time.


    At the same time, the eyes of the two Second Heaven God Lords and one peak First Heaven God Lord at God Lord Dreamcolor''s side began to twinkle.


    "Is it finally time to exert some strength?" The blue-haired old woman smiled.


    Other than God Lord Dreamcolor, all the other members of the Illusion God Sacred Land were being sent into the fray.


    This powerful force was far more than the Light Race Divine Kingdom force could deal with. The only option was to retreat.


    Within the fog:


    "Has she seen through me?" Zhao Feng mentally noted.


    From the start, he had been attempting to draw out the battle and wear out the enemy. After all, this was the Light Race Divine Kingdom, so his own forces could recover faster.


    But God Lord Dreamcolor had seen through this plan and launched a powerful assault. If Zhao Feng didn''t intervene now, they could only retreat. After all, the enemy force was stronger overall.


    "Retreat!" Zhao Feng suddenly called out.


    The Giant God Race, Light Race, and Zhao Feng''s clones all put on fearful expressions and began to flee.


    "Is that all?" God Lord Dreamcolor chuckled.


    She thought that they would still have some trump card, but in the end, they simply retreated.


    "After them! Don''t let a single one go!" God Lord Dreamcolor shouted.


    The many experts of the Illusion God Sacred Land set off in pursuit.


    But God Lord Dreamcolor remained in the rear, observing the entire battlefield, ready to respond to any unknown variables.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Xin Wuheng, the Grand Elder, God Lord Cheng Yun, and the others all retreated into the heavy fog.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land forces came in pursuit.


    "Let me!" Zhao Feng suddenly charged forward.


    In the face of this immense enemy force, the only two choices he had were to personally intervene or to retreat, but Zhao Feng couldn''t possibly retreat. This was just a means of confusing his enemy. His true choice was to... strike!


    And Zhao Feng had to catch his enemy off guard and deal them a heavy blow, shrinking the gap in strength. Thus, Zhao Feng could not hold back.


    "Dreamification!" The Origin energy in Zhao Feng''s left eye crazily surged, dreamy mist spewing out into the surrounding region.


    "The Ninth God Eye, Zhao Feng!" the bewitching man, God Lord Dreamcolor, and all the others called out in surprise. Their goal in this operation was none other than the Ninth God Eye, and now, it had finally appeared.


    But this was too sudden.


    "Retreat!" God Lord Dreamcolor sensed that something was wrong and immediately shouted.


    But it still came a little late.


    Bzzz!


    Everything around Zhao Feng for a certain distance became covered in dreamy colors.


    At this moment, everyone''s condition suddenly plunged, and all of them inexplicably felt like they were in danger. Even the members of the Light Race and Giant God Race had this sensation.


    "Extinguish!" Zhao Feng extended a hand, his Thought power pouring into a certain thought.


    A strange energy descended upon the world.


    Whoosh!


    The body of a First Heaven God Lord of the Illusion God Sacred Land inexplicably vanished. At the same time, a Second Heaven God Lord next to him became blurry and indistinct.


    "No!" The Second Heaven God Lord tried his utmost to resist, but his efforts were fruitless.


    Whoosh!


    His body vanished as well.


    Several half-step God Lords and Ancient God next to him also disappeared like popping bubbles.


    Zhao Feng''s Dreamification was an area ability. He had his own forces retreat so that he could exert the maximum effect of this ability in the shortest amount of time possible. This was so that only the enemy was left in his field of vision.


    And their retreat had also caused the enemies to drop their guard.


    "This... what''s going on?" This dreadful scene had all the Sacred Land members shivering in fear.


    In a flash, a little less than half of the sub-God-Lord forces brought by the Sacred Land had been killed. Two First Heaven God Lords had been killed, as well as one Second Heaven God Lord.


    "Is this the ability of the Ninth God Eye?" The bewitching man''s voice was shaking, and then he suddenly realized that his own body was becoming blurry.


    "Oh no!" He immediately began to burn his bloodline energy and retreat.


    "Stop!" At this moment, God Lord Dreamcolor suddenly charged out from the rear.

 1504 Major Reversal in the Battle

    Chapter 1504 - Major Reversal in the Battle


    Zhao Feng''s abrupt assault had caught the members of the Sacred Land off guard. Moreover, the Dreamification ability had startled and frightened them, making it even more effective.


    "Stop!" God Lord Dreamcolor, who had not moved this entire time, could no longer sit still.


    She was confident that the Ninth God Eye''s abilities could not be too absurd. Otherwise, Zhao Feng would have used them from the very beginning to wipe them all out.


    Upon entering the range of Dreamification, God Lord Dreamcolor realized that her Illusion God Race bloodline and Law energy were capable of resisting the strange energy.


    "Don''t panic! The Ninth God Eye''s ability can be resisted!" God Lord Dreamcolor shouted.


    God Lord Dreamcolor possessed significant influence in the Sacred Land, and her words had a soothing effect, calming her panicked and fearful subordinates. Once they understood the method, they began to resist Zhao Feng''s Dreamification.


    Even so, Zhao Feng had already succeeded in dealing the Illusion God Sacred Land a heavy blow. At the very least, he had shrunk the gap in strength significantly.


    "Counterattack!" Zhao Feng called out.


    Now, while the Illusion God Sacred Land was still somewhat frightened and uneasy, was the best moment to counterattack.


    He went to attack God Lord Dreamcolor. He was the only one capable of doing so on his side.


    "Hmph, so it turns out that you were the only one in the fog!" God Lord Dreamcolor laughed.


    She had been speculating the entire time on how many experts or traps might be hidden in the fog, but it turned out that, when she launched her large-scale offensive, only Zhao Feng had emerged.


    Although Zhao Feng had inflicted large losses on the Illusion God Sacred Land with his sudden attack, at least they now knew how many enemies there were. In this situation, the Illusion God Sacred Land still had the advantage.


    "Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng did not waste time on talk. The Primal Chaos energy in his hand gathered into a dark and heavy sword crackling with Tribulation Lightning energy. With a swing of the sword, he unleashed a powerful pressure and the energy of his Spacetime Law at God Lord Dreamcolor.


    She immediately put away her disregard. Zhao Feng did not merely have powerful God Eye; he himself was very strong and possessed formidable techniques.


    God Lord Dreamcolor lightly stepped away, dodging Zhao Feng''s attacks. At the same time, a five-colored ribbon appeared in her hand.


    Hwoooo!


    The ribbon, exuding five-colored and carrying astonishing Divine Power, coiled around Zhao Feng.


    But Zhao Feng was fast and nimble, dodging the first attack.


    You''re rather fast." God Lord Dreamcolor faintly smiled and then immediately increased her power.


    Boom! Swish! Swish!


    The five-colored ribbon split apart into five bright ribbons that attacked Zhao Feng.


    In this situation, even Zhao Feng found it hard to dodge unless he simply fled.


    Kill! Zhao Feng began to crazily slash the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Several waves of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy collided with the five bright ribbons. The dreadful storm of energy created by this battle had everyone else backing away.


    In the first clash, Zhao Feng became sure that God Lord Dreamcolor was even stronger than God Lord Golden Emperor. God Lord Dreamcolor''s Soul intent was formidable, she was skilled in the Soul Dao, and her attacks were swift and nimble.


    However, Zhao Feng had gotten stronger since then. In a one-on-one, he was completely capable of fighting her.


    But right now, the crucial problem was how to win. As God Lord Dreamcolor was stronger than God Lord Golden Emperor, killing her would be rather difficult.


    Zhao Feng turned his eyes to the others fighting around and the blue-haired old woman in the distance.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The world trembled, and chaotic Divine Power ran rampant as the members of both sides battled.


    Zhao Feng had managed to inflict significant losses with the sudden use of his God Eye, but the opposing side, besides the two Third Heaven God Lords and the bewitching man, still had three Second Heaven God Lords and one First Heaven God Lord.


    At this time, Giant God Hall''s Grand Elder and Zhao Feng''s three clones were dealing with three Second Heaven God Lords, but they were still rather hard-pressed. The bewitching man was being dealt with by Xin Wuheng, and the rest had been handed to the Light Race descendants. But in the end, the Illusion God Sacred Land still had a rather large advantage.


    "Kid, you still have time to worry about others while fighting with me?" God Lord Dreamcolor''s face iced over.


    She was forced to admit that Zhao Feng was stronger than she had predicted, but even so, for Zhao Feng to be distracted by the other battles was a show of blatant disregard that she found utterly humiliating.


    "Hmph!" God Lord Dreamcolor coldly snorted, a powerful ancient bloodline erupting from her body.


    God Lord Dreamcolor''s body instantly became ethereal, its surface covered by a rainbow glow that imbued her with an extremely mysterious and noble aura. Not only that, a piece of crystalline ice appeared in her hand that exuded a frightening chill.


    The moment this ice crystal appeared, the surrounding region was covered in a thin sheet of frost.


    "Ancestral Artifact fragment?" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    "Die!" God Lord Dreamcolor mustered up her bloodline energy and charged forward with the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    God Lord Dreamcolor primarily cultivated the Dream Law, and she was not suited for this fragment''s nature. However, Ancestral Artifact fragments were simply too rare, and it wasn''t like she could just get one that had the same trait. And even if the trait of the Ancestral Artifact fragment was different, Ancestral Artifact fragments were still stronger than supreme-quality divine artifacts.


    "How fierce!" Zhao Feng''s face tightened as he swung the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword repeatedly, but he failed to slow down God Lord Dreamcolor''s charge.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng began to back up.


    In the distance:


    "Heh, he might have the Ninth God Eye, but his cultivation level is still too low. How could he possibly fight against God Lord Dreamcolor?" The blue-haired old woman continued to operate her array as she observed the battlefield.


    Although they were both Third Heaven God Lords, God Lord Dreamcolor was actually the stronger one, even though she was technically the old woman''s junior.


    "Is this all the ability the Ninth God Eye has?" God Lord Dreamcolor''s right hand controlled the five ribbons attacking Zhao Feng from various angles while the ice crystal in her left hand exuded endless Ice Law energy to hinder Zhao Feng''s movements. If not for the fact that Zhao Feng had his Time Law and could affect God Lord Dreamcolor, he would have already been caught.


    As they battled, Zhao Feng and God Lord Dreamcolor drew closer and closer to the blue-haired old woman.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex!" Zhao Feng suddenly used his defensive skill.


    The Primal Chaos energy around him created a pitch-black sphere that crackled with Tribulation Lightning energy.


    "Mm? You have a defensive skill of this level?" God Lord Dreamcolor could naturally tell that Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex was very unusual.


    Wait! He was just pretending to not be my match! God Lord Dreamcolor suddenly realized something.


    If Zhao Feng had this level of defensive skill, he could have used it from the beginning. There was no need to be pushed elsewhere. The only explanation was that Zhao Feng wanted to come here.


    "Oh no!" God Lord Dreamcolor glanced at the nearby blue-haired old woman and instantly had an ill foreboding. She immediately had the five ribbons shoot toward the black sphere.


    Swish!


    The Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex unleashed both its Tribulation Lightning and Primal Chaos energy simultaneously, one destroying and one devouring.


    God Lord Dreamcolor was incredibly powerful, far stronger than God Lord Golden Emperor. The Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex could not endure her attacks and began to deform.


    But within the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex, Zhao Feng paid no attention. His left eye was peering into the array under the control of the old woman.


    "Disappear!" Zhao Feng''s left eye was focused on a certain critical part of the formation.


    As his Origin energy and Thought power began to circulate, he developed a firm idea. In a flash, Zhao Feng''s Realization ability was activated!


    Bang! Hisss!


    Part of the core of the array simply vanished, leading the entire array to fall into disarray. A powerful backlash exploded from within.


    Thump! Thump!


    The old woman was forced back several steps, blood trickling from her lips. At the same time, a gray streak shot into the center of the array.


    Thwish!


    The gray streak instantly reached that golden-jade silk cloth and then turned into a sleek silver-gray cat that cunningly smiled.


    ¡°No, my Ancestral Artifact fragment!" the old woman cried out.


    The little thieving cat raised its claws, unleashing Sealing energy. After weakening the Ancestral Artifact fragment, it snatched it up and shot away.


    "Good job, little thieving cat!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile.


    His goal was victory, and since God Lord Dreamcolor was difficult to kill, he had to start elsewhere. Now, the array had been destroyed and the Space-type fragment stolen.


    An invisible energy suddenly disappeared from the dimension. At the same time, Twilight Valley''s control over the Divine Kingdom began to return.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land''s forces were soon once more suffering under the immense pressure of the world while the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s forces received a major boost in strength.


    "Zhao Feng... you actually resorted to such a despicable plan!?" God Lord Dreamcolor was fuming, her body trembling and her teeth gnashing.


    Zhao Feng said nothing. His body exploded with Primal Chaos energy as he broke free of God Lord Dreamcolor''s five ribbons.


    Even if God Lord Dreamcolor was a Third Heaven God Lord, she was still somewhat suppressed within the Light Race Divine Kingdom. However, Zhao Feng still chose to not directly clash with God Lord Dreamcolor.


    Thwish!


    Using his Spacetime Law, Zhao Feng returned to the main battlefield as a streak of silver light.


    Now that the Illusion God Sacred Land''s array had been broken, all its members were once more being heavily suppressed. Even though they had the advantage in numbers and cultivations, the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s forces were gradually beginning to gain the upper hand.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng struck. His target: the bewitching man!


    "No...!" The bewitching man was still afraid of Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye. Now that Zhao Feng was attacking him, fear took hold of his mind.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" Zhao Feng unleashed formidable Primal Chaos energy and brought his hands together. The Primal Chaos energy instantly changed into countless chaotic torrents that surrounded the man and began to retract.


    Booom!


    The man waved his silver fan, releasing one silver gale after another, but Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos was unshaken and continued to retract.


    The bewitching man was already somewhat injured, and now, with the Divine Kingdom suppressing him, he was incapable of fighting back against the Primal Chaos Lock and was ultimately captured within.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng clenched his right hand, and the chaotic streams of energy further constricted. In addition, they began to crackle with Tribulation Lightning energy.


    Boom! Bang!


    Under the Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy, the bewitching man was obliterated.


    Zhao Feng stared at the point of the explosion, a strange light in his eyes, and then he turned to God Lord Dreamcolor, who had come in pursuit.


    "Now, you are no longer any match for us!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Now, it was their side that had the advantage within the Light Race Divine Kingdom while their enemies were heavily suppressed. And with the death of the peak Second Heaven God Lord, Xin Wuheng was now freed up to fight others.


    Over the long term, the Illusion God Sacred Land would inevitably lose.

 1505 Deception

    Chapter 1505 - Deception


    God Lord Dreamcolor''s beautiful countenance had been twisted into a nasty grimace. It was clear that she felt rather helpless.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng shouted.


    He could not show mercy now. Since his enemy was on the back foot, it was only proper that he use this chance to strike.


    Zhao Feng and the other members on his side charged forward.


    Boom! Bang!


    Earth-shaking explosions resounded through the Divine Kingdom. In just a few moments, the Illusion God Sacred Land force had suffered severe casualties.


    "Retreat!" God Lord Dreamcolor could only give this order.


    They no longer had any chance of victory. The only thing continuing to fight would accomplish was increase their casualties.


    The Sacred Land''s forces were soon withdrawing. The Light Race Divine Kingdom''s forces naturally wouldn''t just let them go and continued the pursuit.


    While fleeing, the members of the Illusion God Sacred Land began to build up injuries. Even God Lord Dreamcolor was wounded several times by Zhao Feng''s attacks. The blue-haired old woman put aside maintaining her array and protected the others, making it so that the actual number of deaths was extremely small. In the end, the Sacred Land forces had finally retreated to the gap and were preparing to escape the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    But at this moment, the gap gradually began to heal, clearly under Twilight Valley''s control.


    "Hurry and stop him!" God Lord Dreamcolor immediately called out as she charged ahead.


    The blue-haired old woman followed behind, preparing to work together with God Lord Dreamcolor to prevent the gap from closing.


    But before the two of them could get close to the gap:


    Kaboom!


    A frightening wave of energy came from the outside world. This Divine Power was so dreadful that even the two Third Heaven God Lords felt like they were in danger.


    "Not good! Get back!" God Lord Dreamcolor and the blue-haired old woman activated their defensive skills as they hastily retreated.


    At this moment:


    Boom! Bang!


    A massive wave of white Divine Power blasted through the gap. The dreadful power had an immense range and demolished everything within it. Even the gap in the Light Race Divine Kingdom was forced into an enormous tear by this explosion.


    The two Third Heaven God Lords of the Sacred Land, even after trying their utmost to defend and dodge, still suffered significant injuries.


    "Who is it?" The two Third Heaven God Lords vomited blood, their faces paling.


    The forces on both sides could see the outside world through the gaping wound in the side of the Divine Kingdom. What they saw was an ancient and majestic warship of black and gray. Upon this warship was a massive golden firing platform that was covered in the mysterious characters of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and radiated a dazzling light. It was clear that the attack just now had come from this firing platform.


    Four timeworn elders flanked the firing platform. It was clear at a glance that these were all old monster who had lived for countless years.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race?" God Lord Dreamcolor was both shocked and enraged as she stared at the four elders on the warship.


    However, these four elders only gave God Lord Dreamcolor a passing glance before turning their attention to Zhao Feng.


    "God Lord Stellar Aspect!" Zhao Feng recognized one of the four.


    The elder gripping the silver staff was none other than God Lord Stellar Aspect.


    But God Lord Stellar Aspect was positioned toward the back. Zhao Feng turned his eyes toward one of the leading elders. This elder was also staring at Zhao Feng, his eyes burning with excitement, rage, and a seething desire to kill.


    The Light Race Divine Kingdom members were all alarmed and frightened. The Heaven''s Legacy Race had appeared with a domineering entrance that left them all intimidated.


    You would dare strike at the Illusion God Sacred Land!?" God Lord Dreamcolor suddenly shouted.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race only attacked once the Sacred Land forces got close to the gap. If they hadn''t been on their guard, even Third Heavens like them would have been severely injured.


    "Since the Illusion God Sacred Land cannot obtain the Ninth God Eye, leave everything to us." Yu Liuping ignored God Lord Dreamcolor''s tone and spoke with nonchalant disregard.


    "God Lord Dreamcolor, I advise you to leave this place, or else you will be the one to bear the consequences!" God Lord Stellar Aspect coldly threatened.


    "God Lord Dreamcolor, let''s retreat for now. The current situation isn''t good for us!" the blue-haired old woman also advised.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land had just fought a major battle with the Light Race Divine Kingdom forces, and they had even been defeated and forced to flee. Meanwhile, the Heaven''s Legacy Race force that had so abruptly appeared was in peak condition and had even come amply prepared. To fight with them was only bringing trouble to oneself.


    The members of the Illusion God Sacred Land gradually began to retreat to the side to observe the battle from a distance.


    Yu Liuping took one last glance at the distant Illusion God Sacred Land force before ignoring them completely. He knew that the Illusion God Sacred Land had not completely given up, but they also couldn''t attack the Illusion God Sacred Land without provocation. Otherwise, the Ninth God Eye might join together with the Illusion God Sacred Land against them. As long as the Illusion God Sacred Land did not meddle in the battle, they could crush everything and kill the Ninth God Eye.


    "Zhao Feng, I don''t know how you managed to escape from there, but I am different! I will execute you right here!" Yu Liuping stared at Zhao Feng, his voice cold and murderous.


    At this moment, many round holes appeared on the black and gray warship, flashing with white light and radiating danger.


    "Get out of the way!" Zhao Feng shouted.


    The Light Race descendants had some understanding of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and immediately scattered. Swishswishswish!


    At the same moment, countless white beams of light shot out from the warship, annihilating everything in their path.


    The entire sky was filled with these beams of destruction. Everyone used various speed skills or escape techniques to avoid the salvo from the warship. Finally, the group managed to endure the first volley from the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "Heh, you''ve just been through a major battle and have used up all your tricks. You must be at the end of your rope by now, right?" God Lord Stellar Aspect mocked.


    "That''s only how you see it. We didn''t even use all our strength against the Illusion God Sacred Land," Zhao Feng calmly replied.


    He had long ago predicted that all this might have been pushed along by the Heaven''s Legacy Race, so he had always been holding back his strength.


    "Everyone, come out!" Zhao Feng spread apart his arms and created a spatial passage to his Divine Kingdom.


    Swish! Swish!


    The first to emerge were several red figures. They were the Blood Flame Qilins, and the Blood Flame Qilin Race Patriarch had long ago reached the God Lord level.


    "Just these little ants?" God Lord Stellar Aspect disdainfully replied.


    These Blood Flame Qilins had ordinary bloodlines and lowly cultivations. The strongest of them was merely a First Heaven God Lord. What use could they be?


    But God Lord Stellar Aspect had barely finished speaking when several more hulking figures emerged from the passage. Several golden lion vultures howled through the sky. Afterward, a cavalcade of ancient beasts of all shapes and colors emerged.


    Although only a very small number had reached the God Lord level, the majority of them were top-class experts of the sub-God-Lord level. When this faction was gathered in one place, they represented an utterly enormous power.


    Yu Liuping, God Lord Stellar Aspect, and the other members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race were all rather astonished.


    As they could not divine anything about the Ninth God Eye, not even they had expected for Zhao Feng to have so many subordinates.


    Swish!


    With a wave of the Spacetime Robe, a massive dragon covered in black flames emerged, and upon its head was the bizarre and strange thieving cat.


    At this moment, the entirety of Zhao Feng''s faction was gathered here.


    The Light Race and Xin Wuheng ecstatically looked at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng had not revealed any of this to them. It now seemed like they could still put up a fight against the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    In the distance, the many members of the Illusion God Sacred Land all had rather interesting expressions.


    "As expected of the Ninth God Eye, you can''t comprehend it using common sense!" After her initial shock, God Lord Dreamcolor calmed back down.


    "God Lord Stellar Aspect, prepare the Godkiller Cannon!" Yu Liuping''s eyes were dark and pensive.


    "Yes!" God Lord Stellar Aspect began to form a spell, taking control of the golden firing platform next to him.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Various arrays appeared around the golden firing platform and slowly began to turn. The firing platform began to flash with a dim light as an enormous energy began to build up.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng''s eyes darkened as he gave the order.


    They had just experienced the power of the Godkiller Cannon. Its attacks were equivalent to the full-strength attack of a Third Heaven God Lord. However, the Godkiller Cannon could strike an extremely large area. While his forces could dodge the ordinary cannon fire from the warship, the possibility of dodging the Godkiller Cannon was extremely low.


    "Kiiiilll...!" The Light Race descendants, ancient beasts, Zhao Feng, and the other experts charged at the black and gray warship.


    The force of their charge had the entire Light Race Divine Kingdom rumbling and shaking. If not for the fact that this Divine Kingdom was extremely sturdy, it would have been obliterated some time ago by this battle.


    The other two Heaven''s Legacy Race members took control of the warship.


    Bzzz!


    A gray defensive barrier appeared around the warship. At the same time, entrances appeared on the two sides of the warship.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Six figures charged out. These six were all Death God Guards, a fusion of life and automaton technology. The weakest of them was a Second Heaven God Lord while the strongest was a Third Heaven. The automaton technology and bloodlines implanted within them made them a force that could not be underestimated.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The numerous members of the Light Race Divine Kingdom force surrounded the warship and fired off powerful attacks.


    Although the Heaven''s Legacy Race only had six combatants, all of them were immensely powerful. Moreover, the energy cannons of the warship were constantly firing.


    Zhao Feng''s ancient beasts suffered the greatest casualties. But Zhao Feng''s clone Zhao Hui had the Eye of Samsara of Life. Although his cultivation level wasn''t high, he could use reincarnation arts on those beneath the God Lord level. The lower the cultivation level, the easier they were to revive.


    Kaboom!


    The warship suddenly exploded with a dazzling white light as the Godkiller Cannon fired.


    A massive beam of light shot forward. The dreadful attack power and vast area of effect left all the members of the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s force trembling in fear.


    God Eye Illusory Oblivion! Zhao Feng naturally wouldn''t let this occur and activated his left eye.


    Dreamy mist seeped into the world. Everything in Zhao Feng''s vision turned gray and dim, all except for the white beam, which exuded a dazzling and dreamy glow.


    "Extinguish!" His Thought power circulated as he activated his Dream eye-bloodline technique.


    The white beam of light began to scatter. In the end, the Godkiller Cannon harmed no one.


    "A powerful ability of the Ninth God Eye?" Yu Liuping stared at Zhao Feng''s eye in surprise.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    As the two sides continued their fierce clash, the defensive barrier around the Heaven''s Legacy Race warship began to show damage. The six Death God Guards were also finding it difficult to fend off the massed attacks.


    Of course, the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s side was suffering from astonishing losses.


    In the distance, the Illusion God Sacred Land force took it all in.


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Feng would have so many moves. He truly is powerful, and the Heaven''s Legacy Race also can''t be underestimated!" God Lord Dreamcolor muttered.


    "When will we make our move?" The blue-haired old woman''s pale complexion slowly returned to normal, and she gave an eerie smile.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land had long ago guessed that the news on the Ninth God Eye was intentionally leaked by the Heaven''s Legacy Race, and they had expected the Heaven''s Legacy Race to sit on the sidelines and wait to reap the harvest.


    "Wait a little longer. I really was injured somewhat by that Godkiller Cannon!" God Lord Dreamcolor flashed a charming smile.


    At the same moment, the other members of the Illusion God Sacred Land began to recover, their auras becoming significantly stronger, and several people who had fallen unconscious from their injuries suddenly awoke. It was as if all this had been faked - an act!

 1506 Boundless Nightmare

    Chapter 1506 - Boundless Nightmare


    "Wait a little longer. I really was injured somewhat by that Godkiller Cannon!" God Lord Dreamcolor flashed a charming smile.


    At the same moment, the other members of the Illusion God Sacred Land began to recover, their auras becoming significantly stronger, and several people who had fallen unconscious from their injuries suddenly awoke. Some of the members had their cultivations suddenly increase by more than half a level. It was as if all this had been faked - an act!


    The 13th ranked Illusion God Race was exceptionally skilled in disguise. They could even imitate soul energy and bloodline energy. Pretending to be injured was also incredibly easy.


    Such a disguise was created step by step. After each clash, they would feign an injury, and these injuries would build up over time, making it very difficult to notice anything strange.


    "For our counterattack, we need to sweep up everyone in one strike. We can''t get careless!" A sinister and cunning light appeared in God Lord Dreamcolor''s eyes.


    "My Lady is truly a shrewd schemer. Although the Heaven''s Legacy Race used us as their vanguard, we feigned a defeat and forced them to come out. Our positions are now switched, with us standing on the sidelines to reap the harvest," the yellow-robed man said in admiration.


    God Lord Dreamcolor smiled and nodded. It would truly be great if everything went according to plan. In the process, the trump card Zhao Feng had revealed took her by surprise, leading the Illusion God Sacred Land to have a smaller force left than she had predicted.


    But none of this was a problem. The Ninth God Eye''s forces had probably used up everything at their disposal.


    The battle was extremely intense, and on the surface, it seemed like the Heaven''s Legacy Race was the hard-pressed side, but God Lord Dreamcolor did not believe this to really be the case. In her view, the Ninth God Eye''s side had used every trick in their bag while the Heaven''s Legacy Race remained somewhat mysterious and unfathomable.


    Boom! Bang!


    The black and gray warship''s defensive barrier finally shattered. However, breaking this barrier had come at a heavy cost for Zhao Feng''s side.


    "Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Slash!" Zhao Feng targeted the golden firing platform and slashed.


    This massive firing platform posed an equally massive threat. As long as it was given enough energy and time, it could fire off an extremely powerful attack.


    "Ninth God Eye, this old man truly underestimated you, but all your struggles are futile!" Yu Liuping grunted, and then he thrust out an arm, firing off a burst of Divine Power.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy bolt was obliterated.


    "Third Heaven...." Based on this strike, Zhao Feng could see what level of cultivation this leader had.


    "It''s perfect. The Giant God Race, Light Race, and the Ninth God Eye are all here. Today, I can personally avenge my grandson!" As Yu Liuping bellowed, he flew into the air, exuding the pressure of a Third Heaven.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was not skilled in battle, but that was only when compared to the other top ten ancient races. Purely in terms of fighting power, the Heaven''s Legacy Race was at least comparable to the races around the top forty.


    "Grandson?" A hint of confusion appeared in Zhao Feng''s eyes, but he quickly recalled Beiming Hui''s words to him. Zhao Feng had killed Yu Heng, who was apparently a grandson of one of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s elders. This elder had been calling for Zhao Feng''s death the entire time, but the Heaven Lord had refused.


    Zhao Feng suddenly understood why this Heaven''s Legacy Race member harbored such extreme loathing toward him.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng became even more cautious. Yu Heng''s Ancient Race bloodline had left an extremely deep impression upon him. Thus, what of Yu Heng''s senior? Did he also have some kind of powerful bloodline?


    At this moment, Yu Liuping thrust forward a palm. A vast golden palm of energy, as solid as could be and covered in many ancient images, hurtled forward, imbued with a grandiose aura.


    "As expected, it''s not normal!" Zhao Feng instantly knew that Yu Liuping was not a simple character.


    "Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Slash!" Zhao Feng formed another Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword in his other hand and swung both swords.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    One wave of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy after another howled forward, blasting apart the golden palm.


    Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos energy was at the level of a Third Heaven God Lord''s Divine Power, and it only became even stronger after adding in Tribulation Lightning energy.


    But Yu Liuping was not your typical Third Heaven God Lord. In this clash, Zhao Feng sensed that Yu Liuping was a cut above God Lord Dreamcolor.


    "It seems like you found a particularly excellent Heaven Mending Race legacy!" Yu Liuping''s eyes flashed.


    Swish!


    A sparkling golden fragment appeared in his hand. The moment it appeared, it unleashed a dazzling and sharp radiance that drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield.


    "Ancestral Artifact fragment with a Metal Law!" Zhao Feng''s expression slightly dimmed.


    God Lord Dreamcolor had earlier used an Ancestral Artifact fragment that did not match the Law she primarily cultivated, but Yu Liuping was clearly a perfect match for the Ancestral Artifact fragment he had taken out.


    Thwish!


    A golden blade that was as thin as a cicada''s wing and as smooth as a mirror began to sweep toward Zhao Feng. In a golden flash of light, this golden blade seemed to be right in front of his eyes, its speed even faster than Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Divine Sword eye-bloodline technique.


    Zhao Feng immediately activated the two Ancestral Artifact fragments in the Spacetime Robe, unleashing a blade of Spacetime energy.


    Swish! Hisss!


    These two extremely fast and damaging attacks instantly collided. Powerful Law energy sent ripples through the world, forcing the nearby combatants to back up.


    "It''s no good. This Heaven''s Legacy Race elder is unfathomable...."


    Although the strength displayed by this Heaven''s Legacy Race elder was not much stronger than God Lord Dreamcolor''s, this was the Heaven''s Legacy Race! They could not possibly be underestimated.


    Zhao Feng looked around him and tried to think of a way to resolve things quickly.


    However, the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s strategy was very cautious and there were few flaws to be found. The two Heaven''s Legacy Race members were responsible for controlling the warship, and though the defensive barrier had been broken, it could still be prepared. God Lord Stellar Aspect was in charge of the Godkiller Cannon, which posed a major threat of its own. The last one was Yu Liuping, who was simply unfathomable.


    "Since that''s the case, I can only do this!" Zhao Feng turned his eyes toward the distant Illusion God Sacred Land.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The battle continued, and Zhao Feng gradually lost ground against Yu Liuping. After all, he truly was no match for Yu Liuping unless he used his other trump cards. Thus, Zhao Feng continued to conserve his power, even allowing himself to be pushed into danger and taking on a few light wounds.


    In the distance:


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race truly is powerful. The Ninth God Eye''s force is going to lose!" The yellow-robed was getting impatient.


    "Why doesn''t Zhao Feng used the power of the Ninth God Eye?" The blue-haired old woman''s turbid eyes gleamed.


    They had some understanding of the Ninth God Eye''s power. All Zhao Feng needed to do was use it to not be beaten back by Yu Liuping.


    "Perhaps he used it too much already," a Second Heaven God Lord said.


    Zhao Feng had used the Ninth God Eye''s power multiple times, each time having a major effect on the battle.


    "Perhaps he really has used it too much, or perhaps Zhao Feng knows that, even if uses the Ninth God Eye against a Third Heaven God Lord of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, he will still find it very difficult to win, so he''s pretending to lose so that we will move in!" God Lord Dreamcolor smiled.


    After all, Yu Liuping had said that he was going to execute Zhao Feng. Once Zhao Feng was killed, the Illusion God Sacred Land would have no opportunity to obtain the Ninth God Eye. With some careful thought, God Lord Dreamcolor could also predict what Zhao Feng was thinking.


    "Then we..." The yellow-robed man hesitated.


    "Strike! Immediately capture the Ninth God Eye and then leave the Light Race Divine Kingdom!" God Lord Dreamcolor''s tone was firm.


    She had guessed that Zhao Feng was probably acting weak so that the Illusion God Sacred Land would intervene, but God Lord Dreamcolor still decided to strike, as she was absolutely confident.


    Kaboom!


    All the members of the Illusion God Sacred Land soared into the air, unleashing their Illusion God Race bloodline.


    "The target is the Ninth God Eye!" God Lord Dreamcolor called out as she led her forces forward.


    While in flight, the Illusion God Sacred Land members assembled into a bizarre array. The bloodline energy of all the members began to link together. Gradually, they began to produce terrifying ripples of energy.


    The two forces in battle sensed this development and turned in alarm.


    "Weren''t they heavily injured? Why do they seem fine now?!"


    They came away so heavily injured from that battle with us, so how could they have so quickly recovered?!"


    Many people were struck by disbelief.


    "Not good! They seem to be using an ancient bloodline art of the Illusion God Race!" Xin Wuheng found the movements of the Illusion God Race rather strange, but he knew little about this race that was so skilled in disguise and pretense.


    "Boundless Nightmare!" God Lord Dreamcolor called out.


    At the same time, a five-colored pearl appeared in her hand.


    Cling! Crack!


    Shattering the pearl, she released a supreme Divine Power that circled around the heads of the Illusion God Race members.


    This was a crystal of Divine Power that the Illusion God Sacred Land''s God King Nethercloud had left behind before leaving. Now, God Lord Dreamcolor had used it.


    The bloodline energy in the Illusion God Race members began to madly bum, resonating with the supreme Divine Power above them.


    Whoosh!


    A rainbow light engulfed them, appearing extremely strange and odd. This twisted cloud of rainbow light began to rapidly expand, soon engulfing the entire region.


    As they were swept up into the rainbow cloud, everyone around Zhao Feng began to disappear until only he was left. This is a dream realm art? Zhao Feng mentally noted.


    One of the higher-class legacies of the Illusion God Race was the Dream Dao. Zhao Feng''s Dream eye-bloodline technique Intrusive Dream was also considered part of the Dream Dao. This was why he could see through this technique. A second reason was that Zhao Feng''s Dream God Eye made him extremely resistant to illusion arts.


    Zhao Feng was in no rush to escape this dream realm. He merely activated the see-through ability of his Dream God Eye. Gradually, his left eye was able to see the reality around him.


    The world was abnormally quiet. The people near him stood in a daze. Just like Zhao Feng, their minds had been immersed in a Dream Dimension.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng saw that the Illusion God Race''s God Lord Dreamcolor and the blue-haired old woman were rapidly approaching him.


    The Illusion God Race had paid an enormous price to plunge everyone into the Boundless Nightmare, but their true goal was to capture Zhao Feng. If this was anyone else, the Illusion God Sacred Land was practically guaranteed to succeed.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng was prepared to break through the dream realm, when suddenly, another figure appeared in his vision. Shooting out of the rear toward God Lord Dreamcolor and the blue-haired old woman was none other than Yu Liuping.


    "How could this be? Even a Third Heaven shouldn''t be able to break out of the Boundless Nightmare so quickly!" God Lord Dreamcolor was alarmed.


    This Boundless Nightmare had gathered together the power of many of the Illusion God Race''s top-class experts and several God Lords, including two Third Heaven God Lords. It also contained the Dream Dao energy of God King Nethercloud.


    "With these little schemes and tricks of your Illusion God Race, you wish to fool the Heaven''s Legacy Race? And this old man has already seen this Boundless Nightmare of yours once!" Yu Liuping couldn''t help but mock.


    As it turned out, they had already noticed that the Illusion God Sacred Land force was feigning its injuries, and they had already seen this secret art before and taken countermeasures.

 1507 Cultivating in a Dream

    Chapter 1507 - Cultivating in a Dream


    The faces of God Lord Dreamcolor and the blue-haired old woman chilled. As it turned out, Yu Liuping had long ago noticed the Illusion God Sacred Land''s plan of faking its injuries, and he had also experienced their secret art before and developed a countermeasure against it.


    After dispelling the dream realm around himself, Yu Liuping messaged the method to the other Heaven''s Legacy Race members.


    "Strike!" God Lord Dreamcolor coldly snorted, and then she changed directions and charged at Yu Liuping.


    The blue-haired old woman understood God Lord Dreamcolor''s intention and immediately attacked.


    At this moment, the two God Lords of the Illusion God Sacred Land attacked Yu Liuping. As long as they could defeat Yu Liuping, the remaining Heaven''s Legacy Race members presented little threat.


    "Hmph, you two think you can do anything to this old man?" Yu Liuping softly chuckled.


    "Die!" A five-colored ribbon appeared in God Lord Dreamcolor''s hand, which separated into five differently-colored streaks of light that shrieked toward Yu Liuping.


    A jade-green staff appeared in the old woman''s hand, and as she swung it, it released dark green waves of energy.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race were not strong fighters. As members of the Illusion God Race, if they worked together, they could definitely defeat Yu Liuping in short order.


    "I''ll let you have a taste of this old man''s true power!" Yu Liuping showed little concern for the sudden attack from these two experts of the same level. His rough and old skin began to shine with many strange tattoos. Suddenly, another powerful bloodline energy erupted onto the field, engulfing those ancient tattoos.


    Kaboom!


    A red and domineering energy radiated from Yu Liuping''s body and shot into the sky. Everyone else in an area for hundreds of thousands of li around felt an incredibly oppressive energy, but their minds remained within the Dream Dimensions as if they were experiencing some dreadful nightmare.


    The red torrent of energy triggered by the bloodline energy circled in the air, drawing out the figure of an enormous God-Devil, which exuded a frighteningly cold aura.


    Bzzzz!


    As the God-Devil grew increasingly real, it began to mimic Yu Liuping''s movements while radiating that heaven-shaking aura and boundless fighting intent.


    At this moment, God Lord Dreamcolor and the old woman stopped, their bloodlines trembling.


    "God Martial Race bloodline!" God Lord Dreamcolor blurted out in surprise.


    If they underestimated Yu Liuping in the past, believing that they could easily push him back if they worked together, their minds had completely changed now. The 5th ranked God Martial Race was a race that excelled in fighting, and it was proficient in using a variety of combat skills and secret arts.


    "I''ll get rid of you meddlesome flies first!" Yu Liuping snorted as he charged at the two Third Heaven God Lords of the Sacred Land. The Illusion God Sacred Land was stubborn to the end. If they were not excised now, who knew when they might suddenly interfere again?


    As Yu Liuping began to move, that red God-Devil mimicked him, exerting a suffocating pressure on everyone around it.


    "How could things have turned out like this?!" God Lord Dreamcolor''s brows tightly locked together in rage and vexation.


    The Illusion God Race had used all its cards, and she believed that they would be able to smoothly capture the Ninth God Eye and leave. Alas, the Heaven''s Legacy Race was one step ahead. Not only did they have a way to deal with Boundless Nightmare, but their leader also had an extremely powerful bloodline.


    "This bloodline must have been implanted. It''s probably far inferior to the bloodline of an actual God Martial Race descendant. If we work together, we still might be able to put up a fight!" the blue-haired old woman said, her turbid eyes dark.


    "That''s all we can try!" God Lord Dreamcolor clenched her teeth and agreed.


    She also believed that Yu Liuping''s strength could not be comparable to an actual member of the God Martial Race.


    Moreover, before entering the Light Race Divine Kingdom, they had notified God King Nethercloud. It wouldn''t take long before God King Nethercloud himself arrived, after which the situation would be easily resolved.


    Zhao Feng remained where he was originally standing, pretending to be caught up in Boundless Nightmare as he observed the situation.


    As expected, this old man of the Heaven''s Legacy Race isn''t normal! Zhao Feng was inwardly rather startled.


    He hadn''t expected for Yu Liuping to possess such a powerful bloodline. With his bloodline activated, Yu Liuping was probably on par with Beiming Hui while activating the Heaven Mending Race bloodline.


    In addition, this was Zhao Feng''s first time seeing the God Martial Race bloodline. He realized that this bloodline was rather similar to the Unparalleled Heaven Battling bloodline he saw in the Continent Zone. Perhaps the two of them were connected?


    Meanwhile, the other Heaven''s Legacy Race members had broken free of Boundless Nightmare and were embroiled in combat with the other members of the Illusion God Sacred Land.


    Of course, their cultivation levels were not as high, so they had consumed a considerable amount of soul energy to break out of the dream realm. However, the members of the Illusion God Sacred Land had just finished activating Boundless Nightmare, which taxed their bloodline energy even more heavily. Thus, they were somewhat unable to cope.


    I''ll let them fight for a while. Zhao Feng was in no rush to break free of Boundless Nightmare.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land was engrossed in fighting the Heaven''s Legacy Race. If he suddenly awakened, he would immediately end that.


    Of course, he wasn''t going to just sit around either. Zhao Feng closed his eyes and began to circulate his Dream energy and Thought power, instantly creating a dream realm of his own.


    Zhao Feng constructed his own Dream Dimension over the dream realm created by the Illusion God Race''s Boundless Nightmare. Zhao Feng sent the majority of his mind into this Dream Dimension.


    He could alter anything in this dimension except for himself.


    Synchronize the dream realm with reality!


    Within the dream realm, Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate. Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension was synchronized with reality. This was meant for both his enemy and himself.


    At this moment, he was in his own dream realm, quietly cultivating, but to the outside world, he appeared to still be trapped in the Illusion God Race''s Boundless Nightmare.


    This Dream Dimension had the same special time cultivation effect as the Spacetime Robe, and this effect was further strengthened by his Time Law and Dream Origin energy. This made the time ratio four hundred to one.


    Zhao Feng took out a golden-jade cloth, which immediately began to exude intense ripples of Space Law energy. This was none other than the Space Ancestral Artifact fragment the little thieving cat had stolen from the blue-haired old woman''s array.


    Bzzz!


    Within the dream realm, Zhao Feng attempted to fuse this Ancestral Artifact fragment into the Spacetime Robe.


    During the entire process, Zhao Feng was also comprehending the Space Laws. Now that he had two of this type of Ancestral Artifact fragment, he could clearly sense that his Space Law was about to break through a bottleneck.


    Long before this, Zhao Feng had managed to reach peak First Heaven in both Laws and Divine Power. Later on, after cultivating the Primal Chaos Scripture, he remolded his Divine Power, but it was still at the limit of First Heaven.


    Now that he had reached early-stage understanding of the Space Laws, his Divine Power smoothly broke into the Second Heaven. He used this chance to circulate the Primal Chaos Scripture and try and break into the Second Heaven proper.


    Outside, the Heaven''s Legacy Race continued its bitter clash with the Illusion God Sacred Land.


    "Radiant Palm!" Yu Liuping bellowed as he thrust out a palm.


    The red God-Devil did the same, sending a gigantic red palm flying forward.


    Boom!


    An enormous palm of golden-red energy, imbued with unfathomably divine might, howled forward.


    "What a powerful attack!" The old woman''s eyes darkened as she repeatedly waved her jade cane.


    Three green vortices appeared in the air, countless giant vines pouring out of them to wrap around the Radiant Palm.


    At the same time, God Lord Dreamcolor''s five ribbons attempted to pierce through the palm. In her other hand, the ice crystal thrust forward, firing off a cold streak of light to attack Yu Liuping.


    "Truly ignorant!" Yu Liuping grunted and thrust forward a finger.


    The red God-Devil again mimicked his action, unleashing a powerful bolt of energy from its finger that easily obliterated God Lord Dreamcolor''s attack.


    Yu Liuping with his God Martial Race bloodline activated possessed extraordinary power, and he could maximize the strength of any technique he used. Although he was facing two Third Heavens, he was the one with the upper hand.


    "Kill!" Yu Liuping roared an order at the other three Heaven''s Legacy Race members.


    As for himself, he held nothing back and charged at the two Third Heaven God Lords. Several powerful skills were used one after another, hurtling toward God Lord Dreamcolor and the old woman.


    "He''s too powerful!" The old woman was forced to admit that the two of them were not able to stave off Yu Liuping.


    "Just hold him down. Once His Excellency Nethercloud returns, everything will be over. And I don''t believe that this person can use such a powerful implanted bloodline without limit!" God Lord Dreamcolor''s expression was gloomy.


    Although they were no match for Yu Liuping, they would not be defeated easily.


    God Lord Dreamcolor had some understanding of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s implanted bloodlines. Strong implanted bloodlines could only increase one''s fighting power for a short period, and different people would suffer from different side effects.


    As the two battled, the shockwaves from their battle battered the forces of the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    Meanwhile, Twilight Valley was guiding the energy of the dimension to stimulate the minds of the people caught in the dream realms.


    Xin Wuheng was the first to break free of Boundless Nightmare. His face was pale and his heart thumping in fear. He stared at the scene before himself in utter shock.


    At the same time, he immediately fell back. Although he had the ability to break himself free of the dream realm, he could not help his many comrades break free.


    When Xin Wuheng glanced at Zhao Feng and saw that he was also in the dream realm, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.


    "The Sacred Land and the Heaven''s Legacy Race are truly unfathomable!" Xin Wuheng sighed as he viewed the battle from a distance.


    As the battle continued, the Black Destruction Dragon and Giant God Race Grand Elder also began to lightly shake, and after a little while, they also broke free.


    Each person that broke free from Boundless Nightmare would have a fearful and pale complexion. In Boundless Nightmare, they truly had experienced various frightening things.


    Boundless Nightmare was powerful, and if it was targeted at one person, it was capable of plunging them into an eternal nightmare.


    However, Zhao Feng''s forces were numerous, so the effect had been greatly weakened and was made only temporary. This was also why God Lord Dreamcolor''s plan was to capture the Ninth God Eye and then leave the Divine Kingdom.


    Little time had passed in the outside world, but much time had passed in Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension.


    By now, Zhao Feng had little attention to spare on the battle outside. He was constantly accumulating and refining his Space Law and was on the verge of advancing it to the next level.


    The Dream Dimension was twisted and chaotic under the effects of the Space Law, and a blinding and dazzling light engulfed the area. Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Divine Power was also being refined, and it seemed on the verge of going through a qualitative transformation.


    Zhao Feng knew that he was now at a crucial moment in his charge toward becoming a Second Heaven God Lord.


    Once he succeeded in this breakthrough, his strength would be given a massive boost. When the time came, he would be able to easily take care of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and the Sacred Land.

 1508 Advancing to the Second Heaven

    Chapter 1508 - Advancing to the Second Heaven


    Zhao Feng was at a crucial moment in his breakthrough into the Second Heaven.


    To break through at a time like this clearly had many uncertain variables, but Zhao Feng still chose to do so. Once he succeeded at this breakthrough, his strength would be given a massive boost. When the time came, he would be able to easily take care of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and the Sacred Land.


    Moreover, the Heaven''s Legacy Race was currently busy fighting with the Illusion God Sacred Land.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Thunderous explosions resounded through the Divine Kingdom, but this terrifying storm had no effect on those people immersed in Boundless Nightmare.


    The two Illusion God Race God Lords had by now adopted a defensive stance. Although they couldn''t obtain the Ninth God Eye right now, they couldn''t let Yu Liuping destroy it. Not only was God King Nethercloud coming, the Illusion God Sacred Land was also marshaling the forces of the Chixing Zone and converging on this location. As long as they dragged things out, the Illusion God Sacred Land still had a high chance of winning.


    Moreover, the Illusion God Race were also extremely fast. Now that they had changed their strategy, the two of them were capable of holding down Yu Liuping.


    "You want to delay this old man?" Yu Liuping couldn''t help but sneer.


    He waved his Ancestral Artifact fragment, and the red God-Devil did the same, a golden blur appearing in its hand. Thwish!


    A domineering golden blade abruptly shot forward.


    This time, Yu Liuping used the Ancestral Artifact fragment while his bloodline was activated. While this attack seemed simple, it was imbued with terrifying power and was most profound.


    "Defend!" God Lord Dreamcolor called out, the ice crystal in her hand releasing a chilling storm.


    The old woman burned her Divine Power and activated a secret art. An enormous vine grew out from the ground and shot upward to defend her.


    Hwoooo!


    The ice storm blew on the massive vine, gradually freezing it.


    God Lord Dreamcolor did not send her attack to break Yu Liuping''s attack. Instead, she combined it with the old woman''s defensive art to strengthen its power. After all, she was not actually skilled in the Ice Laws. The attack created by this Ancestral Artifact fragment was not comparable to Yu Liuping''s.


    Boom! Bang!


    The golden blade dazzled with golden light as it struck the frozen vine, unleashing a shower of ice shards. The golden blade sunk deep into the vine, but as it did, its power was worn away. In the end, by the time it cut through the frozen vine, its power was completely spent.


    The two Third Heaven God Lords were frightened by this sight. If they had tried to block Yu Liuping''s attack by themselves, they would have undoubtedly failed.


    "What does it matter if you blocked it?" Yu Liuping mocked.


    The two Third Heaven God Lords of the Illusion God Race turned grave as they sensed that something wasn''t right. Suddenly, they both sensed ripples of Divine Power.


    Kaboom!


    The Heaven''s Legacy arrays around the golden firing platform on the black and gray warship began to flash. The mouth of the golden cannon was aimed right at God Lord Dreamcolor and the old woman, radiating danger.


    "Not good, the Godkiller Cannon!" God Lord Dreamcolor grimaced.


    The Godkiller Cannon had the power of a full-strength blow from a Third Heaven, and its area of effect was so large that it was nigh impossible to dodge.


    At the same time, with a bellow from Yu Liuping, the red God-Devil exuded boundless fighting intent and charged. The immense fighting intent merged together with his Soul Intent into a massive phantom hammer that plunged downward.


    Kacrack!


    The souls and divine bodies of the two Third Heaven God Lords trembled under the blow of this hammer, and a trickle of blood seeped out from the comer of their lips.


    At this moment, the distant Godkiller Cannon fired, sending a massive beam of white light at the pair.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two Third Heaven God Lord hastily used their defensive skills, but the immense Divine Power still sent them flying several hundred li.


    They immediately got back up, their divine bodies in tatters and their faces pale.


    Meanwhile, the other members of the Illusion God Sacred Land were thrown back by the Heaven''s Legacy Race, suffering grievous casualties.


    Though the Illusion God Race was scheming and excelled at disguise, they had still lost to the Heaven''s Legacy Race!


    "I''ll kill you two first!" With cold eyes, Yu Liuping turned toward the two Third Heaven God Lords.


    But suddenly, he sensed an abnormal energy and couldn''t help but turn his gaze to Zhao Feng.


    Just now, his energy suddenly got much stronger! Yu Liuping inwardly muttered.


    How could such a thing have happened to Zhao Feng while he was in the dream realm?


    Yu Liuping soon realized that something was wrong. For a normal peak First Heaven to still be imprisoned in Boundless Nightmare was rather normal, but for this to happen to the Ninth God Eye was anything but.


    Yu Liuping''s pause had God Lord Dreamcolor and the others also paying attention to the Ninth God Eye.


    "This kid is only pretending to be in Boundless Nightmare? He''s actually just watching the show?" God Lord Dreamcolor also glanced at Zhao Feng. Of course, she did not believe there was much meaning in Zhao Feng doing something like this. All it did was change his time of death.


    "I''ll kill you first then!" Yu Liuping''s eyes turned harsh as he rushed at Zhao Feng.


    For some reason, he suddenly felt that if he did not kill Zhao Feng now, something very bad would happen. Thus, he chose to kill Zhao Feng first.


    Yu Liuping was getting closer and closer to Zhao Feng, that enormous red God-Devil radiating terrifying killing intent.


    "Brother Zhao, what''s wrong with you?" Xin Wuheng was beside himself with concern. Zhao Feng couldn''t have possibly been imprisoned in Boundless Nightmare for so long.


    The Light Race descendants were also very concerned.


    Only Zhao Feng''s clones and the little thieving cat were calm, sharp light in their eyes.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s slumbering divine body suddenly exploded with chaotic light and Space Law energy.


    And then Zhao Feng opened his eyes and smiled at Yu Liuping.


    "Your cultivation..." Yu Liuping was stunned.


    After clashing with Zhao Feng earlier, he was now sure that Zhao Feng had become much stronger.


    "An early-stage Law! Second Heaven!?" God Lord Dreamcolor and the old woman went wide-eyed in shock, wondering if their eyes were playing tricks on them.


    Zhao Feng was in Boundless Nightmare for a moment, but when he woke up, he had broken through? That was just too absurd.


    Perhaps Zhao Feng had only been pretending to be in Boundless Nightmare and had already awakened, but in this situation, Zhao Feng couldn''t possibly have been cultivating and even breaking through without anyone noticing.


    They weren''t the only ones who were baffled. Everyone who had witnessed found this impossible to understand.


    "Die!" Yu Liuping''s eyes overflowed with killing intent.


    The owner of the Ninth God Eye, Zhao Feng, was simply too bizarre. He could not let this enemy of his live any longer. Thwish!


    Yu Liuping waved his right hand, and another massive blade of golden light swept toward Zhao Feng.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex!"


    Although he had just broken through, Zhao Feng would never underestimate his foe. Pure and vast Primal Chaos energy swiftly surged forward, creating a Primal Chaos Black Hole much larger than before.


    Crack! Pop!


    Tribulation Lightning energy began to arc over the Primal Chaos Black Hole.


    The moment the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex was complete, the golden blade struck.


    Boom! Hiss!


    The two formidable energies clashed, chaotic streams of energy and golden radiance spilling everywhere.


    This kid''s Primal Chaos energy is already this powerful!? Yu Liuping was alarmed.


    Although the God Martial Race was ranked higher than the Heaven Mending Race, purely in terms of Divine Power, the Heaven Mending Race was superior.


    Among Origin energies, the Heaven Mending Race''s Primal Chaos energy was without equal. Moreover, Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos defensive skill had been infused with Tribulation Lightning energy, making it even more damaging.


    Boom! Bang!


    Gradually, the golden radiance faded. A large gap had been cut through the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex, but Zhao Feng within was safe and sound.


    "He actually blocked it?" God Lord Dreamcolor and the old woman gasped.


    The two of them had barely managed to block the same attack together, but Zhao Feng had singlehandedly stopped it!


    "Kill! He can''t be left alive!" A hint of madness appeared in Yu Liuping''s eyes.


    The strength Zhao Feng displayed after breaking through left Yu Liuping rather astonished.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng circulated his Spacetime Law, leaving behind an afterimage as he vanished. His early-stage Space Law and two Space Ancestral Artifact fragments gave Zhao Feng a significant boost in speed.


    He was strong enough now that he didn''t need to fear Yu Liuping.


    However, this was a three-sided battle, not a one-on-one duel. Victory for the Light Race Divine Kingdom was of utmost importance. Otherwise, Zhao Feng would have liked to test his new powers against Yu Liuping.


    "Where are you going!?" Yu Liuping immediately charged forward. He had to kill Zhao Feng, or else he would be letting an endless source of trouble survive.


    But even when he was using his speed art to the limit, he was only barely able to keep up with Zhao Feng.


    Thwish!


    Ripples appeared in the air as Zhao Feng swiftly approached the gray and black warship.


    "Not good! Hurry and attack him!" Cold sweat poured out of God Lord Stellar Aspect''s forehead as he saw Zhao Feng approaching, his heart thumping as he sensed danger.


    Swooosh!


    Countless white beams shot out from the warship, all of them converging on Zhao Feng.


    These normal Divine Power attacks couldn''t compare to the Godkiller Cannon, but when gathered together, they still had extraordinary power.


    But this massed cannon fire was incapable of breaking through Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex. Zhao Feng did not slow down in the slightest as he hurtled toward the warship.


    Boom! Bang!


    The pitch-black lightning vortex slammed into the defensive barrier. Cracks appeared on the barrier as it trembled, spreading out from the point of impact.


    Cling! Crack!


    The barrier shattered and Zhao Feng charged in. He waved his hand, unleashing Primal Chaos energy.


    Swooosh!


    This Primal Chaos energy took the form of numerous swords that hurtled toward the warship.


    "Dodge! Hurry and repair the defensive barrier!" God Lord Stellar Aspect immediately fled while messaging the other two.


    At this moment, the Primal Chaos swords collided against the warship and exploded, causing the entire warship to shake.


    "The situation is bad! The barrier generator has been damaged!" a Heaven''s Legacy Race elder said in panic.


    "Even if there''s a barrier, it can''t protect you!" Zhao Feng growled as he shot toward this Heaven''s Legacy Race elder. "No!" The elder paled in fright.


    At this moment, two Second Heaven Death God Guards charged forward to protect the Heaven''s Legacy Race elder. But the Death God Guards were too slow, and Zhao Feng got to the elder first.


    Kacrack!


    A Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword pierced through the elder''s chest.


    Now that Zhao Feng was at the Second Heaven, this Second Heaven elder was powerless against him. Kabooom!


    The Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword suddenly exploded into countless chaotic streams of energy. The Heaven''s Legacy Race elder was instantly slain by this outpouring of energy.


    From the assault of the Heaven''s Legacy Race warship to the killing of this elder, Zhao Feng had not paused even for a second.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re seeking death!" Yu Liuping bellowed in rage. After breaking through, Zhao Feng decided not to fight with him but kill the other members of the race. This naturally infuriated him.


    "Our fight with the Heaven''s Legacy Race wasn''t decided back there. Let''s continue it now." Zhao Feng chuckled, his expression indifferent.


    At this moment, behind Yu Liuping, the vast army composed of the ancient beasts and Light Race descendants charged forward.

 1509 Dread

    Chapter 1509 - Dread


    While Zhao Feng was attacking the Heaven''s Legacy Race warship after his awakening, the other ancient beasts and Light Race descendants awakened from their own dreams, and they were now all attacking the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "This old man will kill you!" Yu Liuping roared, fuming in rage.


    Rather than dueling with him, Zhao Feng decided to focus on the overall battle, damaging the Heaven''s Legacy Race warship and killing a Heaven''s Legacy Race God Lord. In this way, the Heaven''s Legacy Race no longer had the advantage against the Light Race Divine Kingdom forces.


    "You no longer have the opportunity!" With a cold snort, Zhao Feng rushed at Yu Liuping.


    At this moment:


    Bzzzzz! Broooom!


    An immense spacetime pressure descended from the world onto the Heaven''s Legacy Race members.


    Previously, several exquisite Heaven''s Legacy Race arrays on the warship were able to resist the pressure of the Divine Kingdom, but now that the warship was heavily damaged, these arrays could no longer operate properly. In addition, one of the Heaven''s Legacy Race elders had been killed.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race no longer had the ability to resist this suppression, so the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s pressure instantly decreased their strength.


    The lower one''s cultivation was, the stronger the suppression, so someone as strong as Yu Liuping was not very much affected.


    Even so, in this situation, Twilight Valley had more of an effect by not taking part in the battle.


    "Detestable Light Race Divine Kingdom!" Yu Liuping''s brows furrowed together. With the warship damaged, the Heaven''s Legacy Race had no way of resisting the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s suppression.


    "Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng gripped a sword in both hands and shot toward Yu Liuping in a streak of light.


    "Radiant Palm!" Yu Liuping thrust forward a palm, unleashing a golden palm of energy covered in ancient diagrams and exuding a vast and boundless power.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Zhao Feng''s swords slammed against the golden palm. Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy madly surged, blasting apart the golden palm.


    Thwish!


    After destroying the golden palm, Zhao Feng continued his charge toward Yu Liuping.


    "This kid, he was so easily able to break my skill!?" Yu Liuping was alarmed.


    Of course, this was partially because of the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s suppression on the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    But even so, Yu Liuping still exploded with fighting intent and charged forward to meet Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The world trembled as formidable energy shockwaves swept out in all directions.


    After exchanging a few blows, Zhao Feng was apparently even with Yu Liuping, perhaps even a little stronger.


    Yu Liuping had powerful combat skills and rich fighting experience, but Zhao Feng used his powerful Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies to directly attack his opponent''s weak points.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Nearby, the remaining members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race battled with the forces of the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    The current situation was extremely disadvantageous to the Heaven''s Legacy Race. With the warship damaged, a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race killed, and the suppression of the Light Race Divine Kingdom weighing down, they were being pushed back again and again.


    "Primal Chaos Divine Sword!" A miniature Primal Chaos Divine Sword formed into Zhao Feng''s left eye and fired.


    In close combat, Yu Liuping had nowhere to hide and was pierced through by the Primal Chaos Divine Sword.


    Hiss... Yu Liuping gasped in pain.


    As the holder of the Ninth God Eye, Zhao Feng could release eye-bloodline techniques of extraordinary power.


    Zhao Feng used this chance to once more wildly attack with his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords.


    Even when circulating his God Martial Race bloodline, Yu Liuping was still slowly losing ground, wounds accumulating on his body.


    This way is no solution...." Yu Liuping began to grow worried.


    His battle with the Illusion God Sacred Land had consumed a fair bit of his bloodline power, and his strength was also slightly affected by the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s suppression. Meanwhile, after breaking through, Zhao Feng possessed incredible strength. In this fair battle, Yu Liuping was surprisingly on the back foot. The other members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race were also being pushed back. Finally, he began to notice how dangerous the situation was.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land, why aren''t you doing anything? Once they defeat the Heaven''s Legacy Race, you''ll be next!" Yu Liuping cursed at the Illusion God Sacred Land force.


    At a time like this, he could only seek help from the Illusion God Sacred Land.


    The strongest force on the battlefield now was actually the Ninth God Eye''s side. The Heaven''s Legacy Race and Illusion God Sacred Land were both a little bit lacking. This was precisely because the Illusion God Sacred Land had used Boundless Nightmare, causing the Sacred Land and the Heaven''s Legacy Race to start fighting with each other, mutually wearing away at each other''s power.


    "God Lord Dreamcolor, do we really have to work with the Heaven''s Legacy Race?" The blue-haired old woman was somewhat reluctant.


    "It doesn''t seem like we have any other choice." God Lord Dreamcolor helplessly shook her head.


    Of the three parties, the Sacred Land had suffered the worst losses.


    Although God Lord Dreamcolor loathed the Heaven''s Legacy Race, she was compelled to work with them. Once the Ninth God Eye succeeded in defeating the Heaven''s Legacy Race, the Sacred Land could only flee. The Light Race Divine Kingdom would then leave the Chixing Zone, and they would find it much more difficult to find it again.


    "Working together?" A harsh light flashed in Zhao Feng''s eyes.


    The Light Race Divine Kingdom did not fear either of these parties, but if the Sacred Land and Heaven''s Legacy Race joined together, they could turn defeat into victory.


    Of course, Zhao Feng had expected for something like this to happen.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" Zhao Feng unleashed large amounts of Primal Chaos energy that circled around Yu Liuping and began to slowly retract.


    "You think this can hold down this old man?" Yu Liuping snorted, the red God-Devil above him constantly swinging its palms, releasing one dazzling golden palm after another.


    But as he was breaking Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lock, he realized that Zhao Feng was turning his sights on the other Heaven''s Legacy Race members and the warship.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Several Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords slammed into various parts of the warship. It was now so badly damaged that it was only capable of flying, bereft of any other abilities.


    Zhao Feng also intentionally aimed his attacks at the Death God Guards and God Lord Stellar Aspect.


    "Get out of the way!" God Lord Stellar Aspect, who was battling with Xin Wuheng, suddenly sensed a Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword shooting toward him and rushed to dodge.


    But as he was dodging Zhao Feng''s attack, Xin Wuheng used the chance to strike God Lord Stellar Aspect with a punch. Plush!


    God Lord Stellar Aspect vomited blood and immediately fell back.


    Zhao Feng''s interference also broke the balance in the other fights taking place. Just a few moments later, the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s advantage had rapidly increased, and they seemed on the verge of overwhelming the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    But it was at this time that the Illusion God Sacred Land members arrived. The Light Race Divine Kingdom force had to split off a majority of its members to hold them off.


    "Seeking death!" Yu Liuping exploded in fury. He activated his Ancestral Artifact fragment and unleashed a golden blade.


    While suppressing him, Zhao Feng had managed to attack the other Heaven''s Legacy Race members to great effect. Even the thought of it had him fuming.


    "Spacetime Barrier!" Zhao Feng activated the three Ancestral Artifact fragments in the Spacetime Robe, releasing a silver barrier of folded spacetime.


    As the golden blade cut into the Spacetime Barrier, it was greatly hindered. In addition, the Time Law caused its speed to drop.


    But Yu Liuping would not let Zhao Feng succeed again and attacked Zhao Feng from the other side.


    "Spacetime Seal!" Zhao Feng''s left eye activated, firing off a Spacetime eye-bloodline technique.


    A Spacetime energy in which the real and unreal intermingled descended on Yu Liuping''s body, greatly limiting his power.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng backed up. With a wave of his hand, he fired off several more Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords. This time, his target was the Illusion God Sacred Land.


    Zhao Feng''s sudden attack took the Illusion God Sacred Land by complete surprise. Moreover, God Lord Dreamcolor and the blue-haired old woman had been badly wounded in their fight with Yu Liuping, and they had even been struck by the Godkiller Cannon. These wounds plus the Light Race Divine Kingdom''s suppression meant that they could only use sixty percent of their full strength. While they succeeded in destroying some of the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords, the rest flew past them.


    "Aaaah!"


    Wretched screams rang out from the Illusion God Sacred Land force.


    A casual strike from Zhao Feng was enough to heavily wound even an ordinary Second Heaven God Lord. As for those beneath the God Lord level, just being caught up in the aftershocks of Zhao Feng''s attacks would be enough to instantly obliterate them.


    "I''ll go and deal with Zhao Feng! You deal with the rest!" God Lord Dreamcolor shouted as she charged at Zhao Feng. The blue-haired old woman went to the other part of the battlefield.


    The Illusion God Sacred Land''s entry had a major effect on the battle.


    In the Divine Kingdom''s core, Twilight Valley exerted all his power, maximizing the suppression on the enemies.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The battle in the Divine Kingdom reached an unprecedented intensity, the three parties engaging in gruesome combat. Explosions rang out endlessly in the sky. Everything around the battlefield was obliterated, even the earth itself.


    "Zhao Feng, you can''t win!" God Lord Dreamcolor angrily roared as she approached.


    "Okay!" Yu Liuping smiled.


    Zhao Feng might have been frighteningly powerful, but how much of an advantage could he have when facing down two Third Heaven God Lords? As long as they could hold down Zhao Feng, the remaining members of the Light Race Divine Kingdom force would undoubtedly be defeated by the combined force of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and Sacred Land.


    "Then I''ll show you how I can win!" Zhao Feng showed no signs of backing down against these two Third Heaven God Lords.


    Of course, neither of these two Third Heaven God Lords were at peak condition, with God Lord Dreamcolor severely injured. There was also the suppression of the Light Race Divine Kingdom to consider.


    "Kid, you''re too conceited!" Yu Liuping had an extremely grim expression.


    It was truly surprising that Zhao Feng was still able to say such things against his adversaries.


    "Intrusive Dream!" Origin energy surged in Zhao Feng''s left eye, causing it to sparkle with an alluring and dreamy luster. At the same time, he used Origin energy to swiftly construct a Dream Dimension.


    Intrusive Dream was activated. Yu Liuping and God Lord Dreamcolor instantly felt a powerful pull on their minds. They were still Third Heaven God Lords with formidable Soul Intents, so they were able to fight back.


    However, they were not Zhao Feng''s target.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng swiftly left toward the other part of the battlefield. Wherever he went, everyone would feel a powerful and bizarre pull on their minds. Ninety percent of these people would instantly freeze, their faces going slack.


    Zhao Feng left the majority of his mind in the Dream Dimension while a small part continued to fly his body around.


    Within the Dream Dimension, all the enemies were immediately surrounded by all sorts of perils. Meanwhile, the members of his own side were safe and sound.


    In the outside world, one member of the Illusion God Sacred Land after another suddenly exploded and died. The members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race were all superb God Lords, but they were only able to resist for a few moments before ending up in the same situation.


    Three heavily-injured Death God Guards had been pulled into and killed by Intrusive Dream. As for the actual members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, they had stronger Soul Intents and were able to survive.


    In the view of God Lord Dreamcolor and Yu Liuping, Zhao Feng was just randomly running around while their members inexplicably died.


    "Stop! Zhao Feng, if you''ve got the guts, come at me!" God Lord Dreamcolor shouted.


    The members she had brought this time were elites of the Sacred Land. Only half had remained from the first clash, and now, Zhao Feng had drastically cut down the remaining number into a scant few survivors. She could not escape the blame for such a grievous loss.

 1510 Killing a Third Heaven

    Chapter 1510 - Killing a Third Heaven


    One member after another was being inexplicably killed. God Lord Dreamcolor and Yu Liuping were in a state of extreme agitation, and they suddenly shot off in pursuit of Zhao Feng.


    They knew that this was definitely another one of the Ninth God Eye''s abilities. Otherwise, it wouldn''t have been so absurd and incomprehensible.


    Wherever Zhao Feng went, the members of the Sacred Land and Heaven''s Legacy Race would die, but the Light Race Divine Kingdom members remained safe and unharmed.


    Thwish! Thwish!


    God Lord Dreamcolor and Yu Liuping rapidly caught up to Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had placed the majority of his focus on the Dream Dimension, with little ability left in his actual body. This was why God Lord Dreamcolor and Yu Liuping were able to catch up.


    "This is a good chance! I don''t know what eye-bloodline technique this kid used, but his actual body is extremely weak!" Yu Liuping''s eyes erupted with sharp light.


    A similar technique to the one Zhao Feng was using was the Space Transference Eye. When one was using a Space Transference Eye, one''s Soul Intent would practically leave their body. At a time like this, attacking the original body would have the best effect.


    The defenses of Zhao Feng''s original body were extremely low right now and he was almost incapable of fighting back.


    "Die!" Yu Liuping, his face cold and gloomy, swung his golden fragment, unleashing a dazzling golden wave of light.


    At this moment, a divine light gleamed in Zhao Feng''s eyes. Although he had placed the majority of his mind in the Dream Dimension, he could still keenly sense what was going on with his body and the outside world.


    "It''s enough," Zhao Feng muttered.


    He managed to kill many of the enemy forces just now.


    As the Dream Dimension withdrew, the Light Race members and ancient beasts had their minds returned to their bodies.


    Intrusive Dream was an area attack. It could pull both friend and foe into the dream.


    These people all felt like they had been dreaming. In their dream, one member of the Illusion God Sacred Land and Heaven''s Legacy Race after another died a gruesome death. But when they woke up, they realized that their enemies really had died.


    Thwish!


    That dazzling golden wave of light approached Zhao Feng with lightning-fast speed. Quite a few people nearby were injured by this Metal Law attack and immediately withdrew.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng activated the three Ancestral Artifact fragments in the Spacetime Robe and released an unreal silver blade.


    At this moment, his Spacetime Robe was infused with three Ancestral Artifact fragments, two of them being Space Ancestral Artifact fragments. This made Zhao Feng''s attack much stronger than normal.


    Boom! Bang!


    The silver blade collided with the golden wave of light, and after a few moments of stalemate, it cut through.


    "This kid... he has three Ancestral Artifact fragments!" Yu Liuping was rather vexed.


    He had only just broken into the Second Heaven, but he already had three Ancestral Artifact fragments. This was practically unheard of.


    It had to be known that even some Third Heaven God Lords didn''t necessarily possess a single Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    Boom! Bang!


    Yu Liuping punched out several times before finally shattering Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "The situation is bad! This kid is too powerful!" God Lord Dreamcolor looked at the clash between Zhao Feng and Yu Liuping and then back at the other battles taking place.


    Just now, Zhao Feng had killed almost every member of the Sacred Land beneath the Second Heaven. As for the Heaven''s Legacy Race, it had lost three Second Heaven Death God Guards.


    The battle had once more become a one-sided affair. Even if the Illusion God Sacred Land worked with the Heaven''s Legacy Race, there was still no chance of salvaging the situation.


    God Lord Dreamcolor looked at Zhao Feng and the Ninth God Eye in dread.


    "God Lord Dreamcolor, only by working with me can we defeat Zhao Feng and reverse this battle!" Yu Liuping messaged.


    Okay!" God Lord Dreamcolor nodded.


    Yu Liuping had also backed down somewhat. He spoke just now about defeating Zhao Feng, not killing him.


    Seeing that the two Third Heaven God Lords had reached an agreement, Zhao Feng turned grave. After all, these were two Third Heaven God Lords of unusual power.


    But at this moment:


    Hisssss!


    Suddenly, the clouds began to roil, and that strange spacetime suppression began to weaken.


    "What''s going on?" The remaining enemies on the battlefield appeared confused. The abrupt release of the suppression on their bodies immediately made them feel light and unburdened.


    The battle is about finished. This old man will personally join in now!"


    A spatial passage appeared in the sky, loud laughter coming from it.


    Swish!


    A white figure suddenly shot out, none other than Twilight Valley.


    Other than in the clash of top-class powers, the enemy side was outnumbered. Even without the Divine Kingdom''s suppression, they would still be defeated. Only an extremely small number of elites were left.


    When the enemy was numerous, Twilight Valley singlehandedly suppressing all of them had the maximum effect. But now, this effect was not worth as much as Twilight Valley personally entering the battlefield. One had to remember that Twilight Valley was a Third Heaven God Lord with the Light Race bloodline.


    Yu Liuping''s and God Lord Dreamcolor''s faces sank. Although the suppression on them had disappeared, it had been replaced by an even greater problem.


    "Zhao Feng, leave this old man to me!" Twilight Valley looked at Yu Liuping, eyes gleaming with cold killing intent. "Okay." Zhao Feng chuckled and then charged at God Lord Dreamcolor.


    "Retreat!" God Lord Dreamcolor immediately ordered.


    The situation was getting worse all the time. Remaining here any longer would probably result in all the members she had brought being wiped and even her own life being in peril.


    "Want to leave? Is that possible?" Zhao Feng sneered as he condensed his Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy into a Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Countless bolts of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy howled forward, sealing off God Lord Dreamcolor''s paths of escape.


    A five-colored ribbon appeared in God Lord Dreamcolor''s hand. As she swung it around, the ribbon turned into five dazzling streaks of light that surrounded her, blocking all the bolts of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy.


    "Heh, you''re already at the end of your tether!" Zhao Feng coldly laughed.


    Using Boundless Nightmare consumed significant amounts of energy, and she had also been injured by Yu Liuping and the Godkiller Cannon. Although she was free of the Divine Kingdom''s suppression now, God Lord Dreamcolor was still not able to use much of her power.


    "Zhao Feng, you should spare people whenever possible! If you let me go now, you can also quickly take your leave of this place," God Lord Dreamcolor spoke in a soft and helpless tone.


    She was currently advising Zhao Feng to leave this place as quickly as possible. After all, some time had passed since the Sacred Land started attacking the Light Race Divine Kingdom. Many other experts who were waiting in the Chixing Zone for the Ninth God Eye had probably learned of what was going on and were headed here as quickly as possible.


    "Then I''ll kill you as quickly as possible and leave." Zhao Feng''s face focused. God Lord Dreamcolor had reminded him that he needed to take this matter more seriously.


    God Lord Dreamcolor''s lips twitched upon hearing this. Her advice managed to achieve the opposite of what she wanted, encouraging Zhao Feng to use his full strength against her.


    "Hmph, Zhao Feng, killing me isn''t that easy! Once the other experts get here, I don''t believe you can contend with the entire Chixing Zone!" God Lord Dreamcolor snorted in disdain.


    "Easy or not is not something you can decide!" Zhao Feng''s left eye began to turn, and then a miniature Primal Chaos Divine Sword fired from it.


    Thwish!


    In a flash of light, the Primal Chaos Divine Sword pierced through God Lord Dreamcolor''s body.


    Hiss... God Lord Dreamcolor hissed in pain, but she endured and continued to flee.


    The unique constitutions of the Illusion God Race, their skill in the Illusion Dao, and their powerful Soul Intents gave her a certain amount of resistance to the Primal Chaos Divine Sword.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" Zhao Feng unleashed vast amounts of Primal Chaos energy that turned into chaotic torrents of energy that engulfed God Lord Dreamcolor from all sides.


    "Myriad Transformations!" God Lord Dreamcolor clenched her teeth and burned her bloodline power.


    Multiple outlines appeared on her body, and then a figure charged out, its appearance none other than God Lord Dreamcolor''s. This was followed by a second and third copy.


    Swooosh!


    Suddenly, one hundred identical copies of God Lord Dreamcolor charged out, each one with the same soul energy and bloodline power. In the end, God Lord Dreamcolor scattered and fled among one thousand different copies.


    "What an idiot!" Zhao Feng was slightly surprised, and then he laughed in scorn.


    Others would have been immediately been fooled and dazzled by this display for a moment, and just one second was enough for God Lord Dreamcolor, who excelled in speed, to escape with her life. But these many confusing copies were for naught against Zhao Feng''s eyes. The real God Lord Dreamcolor had nowhere to hide!


    "Lock!" Zhao Feng took control of the chaotic torrents of energy and had them wrap around God Lord Dreamcolor.


    "How could this be?" God Lord Dreamcolor''s beautiful countenance paled.


    Zhao Feng needed less than a second to find her real body.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    God Lord Dreamcolor took out her Ancestral Artifact fragment, unleashing its Ice Law to try and stop Zhao Feng''s assault.


    But Primal Chaos energy could counter almost any other kind of energy. This Ice energy was incapable of stopping the Primal Chaos energy, and some of it was even absorbed.


    In the end, the chaotic streams of energy completely engulfed God Lord Dreamcolor.


    "Zhao Feng, if you kill me, the Illusion God Sacred Land won''t let you go!" Despair appeared on God Lord Dreamcolor''s face. She looked at the person before her, and in hatred and helplessness, a pleading look appeared on her face.


    "Lock!" Zhao Feng was utterly unmoved, determined to kill.


    Hwoooo!


    The chaotic streams of energy rapidly constricted around God Lord Dreamcolor.


    "No...!" God Lord Dreamcolor cried out in despair.


    Gradually, a forbidden energy began to leak out from the chaotic streams of energy. Zhao Feng knew that God Lord Dreamcolor was planning to self-detonate and take himself down with her!


    "Intrusive Dream!" Zhao Feng once more used an eye-bloodline technique of his Dream God Eye, a soul-pulling power shrouding God Lord Dreamcolor''s body.


    "Don''t even think about it...! Die together with me, Zhao Feng!" God Lord Dreamcolor roared as she struggled, attempting to build up energy to self-detonate.


    However, the Primal Chaos energy around her was constantly devouring her power while her mind was constantly being pulled on by Zhao Feng''s left eye. She was not able to successfully self-detonate in the brief period of time available to her. After a few moments, the energy left in her body was not enough to pose any sort of threat to Zhao Feng.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng roared, the Primal Chaos energy turning into countless Primal Chaos Divine Swords that utterly annihilated God Lord Dreamcolor''s body.


    "God Lord Dreamcolor!" The blue-haired old woman, yellow-robed man, and all the other members of the Illusion God Sacred Land who were fleeing saw God Lord Dreamcolor being killed by Zhao Feng and trembled in fear.


    But a moment later, they began to run for their lives. This was because, after killing God Lord Dreamcolor, Zhao Feng raised his head and glanced at them. That single glance was enough to shatter their courage and make their hair stand on end.

 1511 Tianwu Appears

    Chapter 1511 - Tianwu Appears


    The death of God Lord Dreamcolor was a major mental blow to the remaining members of the Illusion God Sacred Land, and after killing God Lord Dreamcolor, Zhao Feng turned his eyes on them, stirring up unprecedented dread in their hearts.


    "Run!" The blue-haired old woman cast aside everything else and activated her bloodline secret art to flee toward the massive gap in the Light Race Divine Kingdom.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race had blasted open this gap, and Twilight Valley had been so focused on the battle that he did not have the time to repair it.


    "Want to leave?" Zhao Feng coldly snorted, and instantly moved over while using his Spacetime Law.


    He had already killed God Lord Dreamcolor. It could be said that he had thoroughly formed a grudge with the Illusion God Sacred Land. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to be merciful. He would kill every member of the Illusion God Sacred Land that he could, as these people would all be his enemies in the future.


    Thwish!


    The air rippled as Zhao Feng rapidly approached the old woman. He could leave the other members of the Illusion God Sacred Land to his clones and ancient beasts, but he was the only one who could deal with the Third Heaven old woman.


    The fleeing old woman saw Zhao Feng coming with incredible speed, and he seemed just about to catch up.


    Circulating her Wood Law, she flailed around her jade cane.


    Kabooom!


    Boundless green light appeared around her, and numerous thick vines erupted from the light and began to shoot behind her.


    Zhao Feng remained undaunted in the face of the old woman''s secret art. He swung the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning repeatedly, its immense power annihilating all the vines before him.


    Hisssss!


    But these vines had a vigorous vitality and seemed to be able to endlessly regrow. They continued to erupt from that green light and attack Zhao Feng. And just when Zhao Feng was about to move around them, the vines began to coil around him.


    In this situation, Zhao Feng could only destroy the source.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" He unleashed two streams of Primal Chaos energy from his hands, which charged at that radiant ball of green light.


    In an instant, the Primal Chaos energy engulfed the light and was tightly contracting around it. The suppression of the Primal Chaos Lock and the devouring of the green light''s energy caused the massive vines to wither away.


    In the distance, the fleeing old woman felt her heart freeze upon seeing Zhao Feng so quickly handle her secret art.


    She had seen with her own eyes how Zhao Feng killed God Lord Dreamcolor, so she roughly understood that the escape arts of the Illusion God Race might not be of any use against Zhao Feng. Thus, she had used a move to directly hinder Zhao Feng. It was effective, but Zhao Feng still managed to swiftly deal with it.


    "Earthshaking Nova!" Zhao Feng''s left eye gathered a large amount of Primal Chaos energy into a dark silver ball. Thwish!


    The sphere shot forward at the fleeing old woman.


    The old woman sensed Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique and prepared to dodge.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    But before she could, the dark silver ball exploded.


    Once the Earthshaking Nova hit its target, it would explode, but Zhao Feng merely had to think to make it explode a little earlier.


    Powerful waves of chaotic Divine Power spread outward, striking the old woman.


    This Divine Power attack wasn''t enough to heavily wound the old woman, but the Spacetime Law nevertheless affected her body.


    "Cursed Spacetime Law!" the old woman angrily cursed, inwardly extremely concerned.


    If not for his Spacetime Law, Zhao Feng would never have been so fast, and she would not have been so hindered at this time and would have undoubtedly been able to make her escape.


    At this moment, another powerful wave of Divine Power arrived.


    The old woman turned around and fired off several green waves of energy.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The green waves of light collided with the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning slashes, but a few moments later, they shattered.


    "Let me send you to accompany God Lord Dreamcolor!" Zhao Feng''s killing intent erupted as he wildly flailed the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    In the face of this powerful offensive, the old woman surrounded herself in a wooden barrier.


    Boom! Bang!


    The wooden barrier lasted for only a few moments before Zhao Feng blasted it apart.


    The old woman was struck twice by Zhao Feng''s sword before she fled into the distance, two gaping wounds left on her body.


    "Zhao Feng, God King Nethercloud will soon be here! You''re finished!" The old woman vomited blood before viciously glaring at Zhao Feng.


    It was obvious without saying that God King Nethercloud was the God King of the Illusion God Sacred Land.


    In truth, Zhao Feng found it strange that the Sacred Land''s God King had yet to appear, but Zhao Feng did not believe the old woman. An enemy could not just be taken at their word. Perhaps the old woman was using these words to disturb and frighten Zhao Feng so that she could escape.


    But Zhao Feng did become wary. He needed to end this battle soon so that he could leave.


    "Dreamification!"


    Origin energy surged in his left eye. Dreamy mist spiraled out of his left eye and fused into the world. Every object for a certain distance around Zhao Feng was covered in dreamy colors.


    "This feeling..." The old woman suddenly realized that her energy and strength were rapidly decreasing, and she felt an inexplicable sense of danger.


    "Extinguish!" Zhao Feng stared at the old woman and concentrated his Thought power on a single idea.


    "Not good...!" The old woman suddenly recalled the move Zhao Feng had used earlier to inexplicably exterminate the majority of the Illusion God Sacred Land''s forces. She immediately circulated her bloodline and Law energy to fight back against this unfathomable power.


    Alas, the successive battles and the use of Boundless Nightmare had left her with little bloodline energy.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng swung the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword at the old woman.


    While maintaining his Dreamification, Zhao Feng would also suffer a drop in strength, but the old woman was already at the end of her rope and was even weaker.


    Boom! Bang!


    The old woman clenched her teeth and sent a ball of green energy at Zhao Feng''s attack, but even more Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning bolts were soon shooting toward her.


    The old woman''s condition was even worse off now that she was trying to fight off Dreamification.


    Boom! Plush!


    The old woman did her best to resist, but three sword bolts still struck her body. And because she was focusing on too many things, the Dreamification managed to dispel a small portion of her body, which made her injuries even worse.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng gathered his Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies and unleashed a massive wave of energy.


    "No...!" The old woman called out in alarm, and she suddenly took out her Divine Kingdom. A dark green tunnel appeared in the air, and she fled inside.


    But Zhao Feng''s incredible speed allowed him to enter before the tunnel closed.


    "Elder...?" the yellow-robed man in the distance called out in alarm.


    Logically speaking, one had an advantage when fighting within one''s own Divine Kingdom.


    Swish!


    Not long after, another tunnel appeared, a silver-clothed figure emerging from it.


    Seeing Zhao Feng emerge alive, the Illusion God Sacred Land members knew what the result was.


    Zhao Feng had the absolute advantage. Even when the old woman fled into her Divine Kingdom, she was still unable to prevent her death. And now that the Divine Kingdom had become ownerless, Zhao Feng took it for his own.


    The old woman was the second Third Heaven God Lord Zhao Feng had killed after his breakthrough. Of course, the old woman and God Lord Dreamcolor were both injured and not at full strength.


    Thwish!


    With the old woman dead, Zhao Feng proceeded to kill the remaining members of the Illusion God Sacred Land.


    After witnessing Zhao Feng kill two Third Heaven God Lords of their Sacred Land, they had a fear of Zhao Feng that was etched into their souls. Upon seeing that Zhao Feng was coming, they fled in a complete panic.


    But with Zhao Feng''s speed and power, killing these people was as easy as lifting a finger. It took only a few moments for the Illusion God Sacred Land force to be completely wiped out.


    Zhao Feng turned to the distant Heaven''s Legacy Race battlefield.


    Thwish!


    Yu Liuping and the remaining members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race were seated on a round silver plate and were running away.


    As Zhao Feng was killing God Lord Dreamcolor and the old woman, the Heaven''s Legacy Race chose to retreat.


    The metal plate had incredible speed, but Twilight Valley was rather fast himself. He doggedly pursued, his face cold with killing intent.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng immediately moved to head off Yu Liuping.


    "Zhao Feng, His Excellency the Heaven Lord is coming! You''re finished!" Yu Liuping spat out in anger.


    "Heaven Lord!?" This name instilled Zhao Feng''s mind with fear.


    The Heaven Lord had left an extremely deep impression on him during his stay in the Heaven''s Legacy Race Divine Kingdom. He was confident that he would be utterly powerless against the Heaven Lord. Defeat was certain and escape a near impossibility.


    "Senior Twilight Valley, repair the Divine Kingdom and prepare to move. Leave this person to me!" Zhao Feng messaged.


    The Heaven Lord was intent on obtaining the Ninth God Eye. As a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, Yu Liuping had almost certainly informed the Heaven Lord the first chance he had, so Zhao Feng was still rather worried.


    "Okay!" Twilight Valley immediately left.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was truly too difficult to deal with. It was difficult for him to kill someone of the same level as him. In addition, he had a keen understanding of how frightening this race was. If there really was some Heaven''s Legacy Race expert making their way here, moving the base truly was his first priority.


    Yu Liuping was delighted. His death was likely if he had to face Twilight Valley and the Ninth God Eye at the same time, but if he was just facing one, he was extremely confident in his chances of escaping.


    But Yu Liuping suddenly sensed a powerful and familiar energy.


    This is... the energy of the Heaven''s Legacy Race bloodline...? Yu Liuping was alarmed. Was it reinforcements? But he had not requested any reinforcements.


    At this moment, a dark silver light rushed in through the gap in the Divine Kingdom.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race energy, and a very strong one!" Zhao Feng murmured in shock.


    Yu Liuping had said a few moments ago that the Heaven Lord was coming, and now this had occurred. He even suspected that this person was the Heaven Lord himself!


    Kaboom!


    The dark silver light shot over and then began to writhe, eventually transforming into a massive phantom that exuded boundless might.


    This was an imposing elder with a white beard and hair. He wore a gray shell on his back that was covered in ancient and cryptic images. The old man''s eyes seemed like windows into the universe, able to see everything.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race!" All the other people in the Divine Kingdom turned vigilant as if facing down a major foe.


    The unique traits of this person''s appearance identified him undoubtedly as a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Moreover, the energy exuded by this figure placed a great pressure on everyone present.


    It''s not the Heaven Lord, Zhao Feng mentally noted.


    Even so, the Heaven''s Legacy Race was unfathomable. It wasn''t strange for this to be some top-class expert he had yet to encounter.


    But Yu Liuping was even more stunned.


    "Tianwu..." Yu Liuping''s jaw dropped in shock.


    He was wondering if some nearby expert from the Heaven Defying Faction was coming, but to his surprise, this newcomer was actually Yu Tianwu.


    "Zhao Feng, we finally meet again." Yu Tianwu looked at Zhao Feng and warmly smiled.

 1512 Tianwus Invitation

    Chapter 1512 - Tianwu''s Invitation


    As Tianwu''s projection was appearing in the Light Race Divine Kingdom, near the edge of the Chixing Zone:


    Bzzz! Hummm!


    A spatial vortex appeared in the air, a figure slowly emerging from it. This was a black-robed elder, his black hair floating around him like a pitch-black waterfall despite the lack of wind. His dark and deep eyes gleamed with cold and sinister light. The moment he appeared, the surrounding space almost froze and became extremely heavy.


    This person was none other than the God King of the Chixing Zone''s Illusion God Sacred Land, God King Nethercloud.


    "Ninth God Eye, I didn''t think that you would be in the Chixing Zone!" God King Nethercloud muttered.


    The news he received previously was that Zhao Feng had appeared in the Tongtai Zone and had obtained a legacy of the Heaven Mending Race, but in just two or three months, Zhao Feng had somehow traveled through several zones and arrived at the Chixing Zone. If he hadn''t received this news from God Lord Dreamcolor, he would have never believed it.


    For some reason though, even after learning of the exact location of the Ninth God Eye, God King Nethercloud felt inexplicably uneasy.


    "Once I get the Ninth God Eye, I can become a God!" But the thought of the Ninth God Eye had God King Nethercloud unable to suppress his excitement, and he couldn''t help but get excited.


    Just as God King Nethercloud was preparing to move out, he received a message from one of the upper echelon elders of the Illusion God Sacred Land.


    "What? The Nightmare Beast King is about to break its seal!?" God King Nethercloud''s body trembled in shock.


    The Nightmare Beast King was a dreadful ancient beast of nearly God King level that was sealed within the Illusion God Sacred Land. Its level was so high that even God King Nethercloud found it difficult to tame unless he invited over a God King level beast tamer. This demand was too restrictive, so the Illusion God Sacred Land had decided to seal the beast within a forbidden ground.


    The Nightmare Beast King exuded an invisible energy that allowed it to benefit from the Illusion Dao and Dream Dao cultivated by the disciples of the Illusion God Sacred Land. Thus, as the Illusion God Sacred Land prospered, the Nightmare Beast King received a certain level of benefit too.


    "The seal of the Nightmare Beast King is reinforced around once every million years. There should have still been five thousand years left, right? Why is it breaking through the seal so early?" God King Nethercloud was rather vexed.


    The Nightmare Beast King was incredibly powerful. Unless a God King was present, several Third Heaven God Lords would be needed to suppress it. And once the Nightmare Beast King broke its seal, it would definitely try to avenge itself against the Sacred Land. The Illusion God Sacred Land would suffer an enormous blow, and the entire Chixing Zone would be facing a calamity.


    One could say that, if the Nightmare Beast King was not promptly sealed as soon as it broke its seal, the entire Chixing Zone would be destroyed.


    For a moment, God King Nethercloud was caught in a dilemma. If he went to catch the Ninth God Eye, the Sacred Land and the Chixing Zone would suffer from an unthinkable disaster.


    He felt that this was all too much to be a coincidence. He had only just returned to the Chixing Zone and was about to catch the Ninth God Eye when the Nightmare Beast King decided to try and break its seal?


    "The Illusion God Sacred Land is the foundation left by the forefathers of the Illusion God Race a hundred million years ago. It cannot be allowed to be destroyed. But as for the Ninth God Eye, this god has a plan!" In the end, God King Nethercloud decided to try for both.


    Swish!


    Dark clouds surged, and a black-robed middle-aged man emerged. This middle-aged man was his clone. It was rather similar in appearance to God King Nethercloud, appearing like he was in his younger days.


    "Let''s split up!" God King Nethercloud called out, and then he vanished.


    Swish!


    The black-robed middle-aged man headed in another direction.


    God King Nethercloud''s clone had forty percent of his strength. Even if it couldn''t capture the Ninth God Eye, it could hold him down long enough for God King Nethercloud to finish dealing with the Nightmare Beast King.


    Meanwhile, in the Light Race Divine Kingdom, an enormous projection floated in the sky, one which everyone in the Divine Kingdom viewed with great solemnity.


    "Zhao Feng, we finally meet again." Yu Tianwu looked at Zhao Feng and warmly smiled.


    Zhao Feng was struck dumb. It wasn''t strange for someone of the Heaven''s Legacy Race to know his name, but from this person''s tone, they seemed to have met before. Zhao Feng had no idea who this man was.


    Clingclang!


    The little thieving cat threw out several bronze coins, and its eyes twinkled.


    In the distance, Yu Liuping was reeling in shock. He had never imagined that Yu Tianwu would send a projection to this place.


    It seems like the Sage Faction is still trying to thwart the Heaven Lord''s plan! Yu Liuping said to himself. Thwish!


    Controlling the silver plate, Yu Liuping fled.


    "Want to leave?" Zhao Feng''s face turned stern as he prepared to strike.


    But at the same time, he was rather confused. Wasn''t this projection from a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race? Why was Yu Liuping fleeing in complete fear?


    "Zhao Feng, God King Nethercloud has already returned to the Chixing Zone. You should leave this place as quickly as possible." Yu Tianwn was slow to act. He only casually glanced at Yu Liuping before... proceeding to ignore him?


    God King Nethercloud! This name caused everyone present to tremble in fear.


    God King Nethercloud was the God King of the Illusion God Sacred Land. Not even Twilight Valley was confident that he could take even a few blows from God King Nethercloud.


    "Just who are you?" Zhao Feng immediately asked. Why had this Heaven''s Legacy Race member informed him of this?


    Zhao Feng was no longer in the mood to chase down Yu Liuping. If God King Nethercloud really had come back, he would probably get here by the time Zhao Feng managed to kill Yu Liuping.


    "One of my clones once lived for a time in the Six Warlock Divine Tower of the Azure Flower Continent," Yu Tianwu simply explained.


    "Six Warlock...?" Zhao Feng''s mind jolted in understanding.


    He had long ago suspected that the Six Warlock Divine Sage was not who he claimed to be, but he hadn''t expected for him to merely be a clone.


    At present, the original body of the Six Warlock Divine Sage had presented himself before Zhao Feng as a projection. The Six Warlock Divine Sage had definitely long ago suspected that Zhao Feng was the Ninth God Eye, but he had not tried to seize it, so Zhao Feng conjectured that, while the Six Warlock Divine Sage might have been a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, he was not an enemy.


    On the side, Xin Wuheng was also stunned.


    "You''re a member of the Sage Faction?" Twilight Valley asked.


    Back when the Heaven Defying Faction was attacking the Light Race, the Sage Faction had assisted the Light Race. Twilight Valley even had some impression of Yu Tianwu''s appearance.


    "The Sage Faction!" Zhao Feng suddenly understood.


    Many experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods knew about the Heaven''s Legacy Race. This extremely intelligent race was not internally harmonious; it was divided into two factions. The Heaven Defying Faction defied the heavens in its actions, while the Sage Faction complied with the will of the heavens and assisted all living beings.


    Given the situation, the Heaven''s Legacy Race members led by the Heaven Lord probably belonged to the Heaven Defying Faction, and Yu Tianwu belonged to the Sage Faction. This explained why the Six Warlock Divine Sage did not seize Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye.


    "Correct. If you have nowhere to go, you can come to my place." After saying this, Yu Tianwu''s projection suddenly dimmed.


    This made it obvious that Yu Tianwu''s actual body was extremely far from the Chixing Zone.


    The members of the Light Race and Giant God Race fell silent. The Chixing Zone was no longer a place they could stay, and Xin Wuheng had not yet thought of a new place to move.


    The Sage Faction truly was a safe place. Even if the Sacred Land tracked them down, it would not dare to act recklessly in the territory of the Sage Faction. He was hesitant though because he did not understand much about the Sage Faction and was rather worried. The Light Race had similar concerns.


    "What are the Sage and Heaven Defying Factions up to?" Zhao Feng suddenly asked.


    After staying in the Heaven Defying Faction''s Divine Kingdom and spending time with the Heaven Lord, Zhao Feng was certain that the Heaven Defying Faction was up to something. Anything that the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Heaven Defying Faction was so desperately after could not at all be normal. Zhao Feng even sensed that it was connected to him, or else the Heaven Defying Faction would not have paid such an enormous price to try and obtain the Ninth God Eye.


    Other than the Heaven Defying Faction, the one with the highest chance of knowing this answer was the Sage Faction.


    "The Sage Faction and Heaven Defying Faction have not communicated with each other in many ages. I am not clear on what the answer is, and besides, there is not enough time to talk about it...." Yu Tianwu paused for a few moments before shaking his head.


    The projection dimmed even more, and it seemed like it could disappear at any moment.


    "Senior, please tell us your specific location!" After thinking for a while, Xin Wuheng finally made his decision.


    Twilight Valley was still hesitating. If Yu Tianwu was not deceiving them and God King Nethercloud really was making his way here, they needed to leave here quickly or face unimaginable consequences.


    "This is the exact location and route to the Sage Faction. Everything is up to you." Yu Tianwu''s projection further dimmed.


    He transmitted the information into the minds of Zhao Feng, Xin Wuheng, and Twilight Valley. After doing this, Yu Tianwu''s projection totally vanished.


    "Zhao Feng, what will you choose?" Twilight Valley asked.


    "I''m going to take a trip to the Sage Faction," Zhao Feng affirmed.


    Yu Tianwu had long ago known he was the Ninth God Eye, but he never did anything. Moreover, Zhao Feng had reached his current level in no small part due to the assistance of the Six Warlock Divine Sage. This was also proof of the guiding principle of the Sage Faction: complying with the will of the heavens and assisting all living beings.


    As Yu Tianwu''s projection vanished, a white-clothed figure and many questions appeared in Zhao Feng''s mind. His first time in the Chixing Zone, Zhao Feng saw someone extremely similar in appearance to Liu Qinxin. Was that an illusion? Why had the Sky Sacred Qin Palace''s Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace disappeared, and where had the person inside gone? Perhaps the Six Warlock Divine Sage knew about Liu Qinxin or her situation.


    In addition, if the Sage Faction really harbored no ill intentions, it truly could serve as a safe harbor.


    Twilight Valley was rather amazed by Zhao Feng''s answer. Zhao Feng was the Ninth God Eye, and yet he dared to go to the Sage Faction. What did he have to fear then? If the Sage Faction and Heaven Defying Faction were not on the same side, perhaps he could even use the Sage Faction to take revenge on the Heaven Defying Faction.


    At the same moment, in a zone in the southern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, two figures stood in a white cloud. One of them was Yu Tianwu. Next to him was a beautiful and noble woman, mysterious and ethereal, a lotus in a pond, slender and elegant.


    "Let''s go. We''ve done what we came to do. It''s their choice now." Yu Tianwu opened his eyes, fatigue on his face. "Okay," Liu Qinxin simply and calmly replied.


    The big lazy cat on her shoulder yawned. It appeared to not understand why the sage and Liu Qinxin had come here. "Do you think he will come?" Yu Tianwu genially smiled.


    "Does Grandmaster not already know the answer?" A faint smile appeared on Liu Qinxin''s elegant and breathtakingly beautiful face.

 1513 Finally Meeting with Liu Qinxin

    Chapter 1513 - Finally Meeting with Liu Qinxin


    In less than half a day, a black-robed middle-aged man arrived at the location, but there were no signs that a Divine Kingdom still existed here. Remnants of Divine Power still lingered and the spatial structure was very unstable. It was clear that a high-level battle had taken place here.


    "I came too late!" The black-robed man sent a message to God King Nethercloud.


    In truth, when God King Nethercloud returned to the Illusion God Sacred Land, he had already guessed at the result.


    All the upper echelon members of the Sacred Land would take a sliver of their Soul Origin and fashion it into a Soul Jade that would be stored in the Sacred Land. The shattering of the Soul Jade would signify the death of the owner.


    The Soul Jades of all the Sacred Land members who went to the Light Race Divine Kingdom to capture the Ninth God Eye had shattered. In these circumstances, the enemy had definitely already fled.


    Later that day, God King Nethercloud vented his rage on the Nightmare Beast King and sealed it once more.


    Afterward, God King Nethercloud immediately mobilized all the members of the Sacred Land to search for Giant God Hall and Zhao Feng, even taking part in the search himself. However, several months went by without any clues.


    Meanwhile, in the Heaven Defying Faction''s Divine Kingdom, Yu Liuping grimly entered the central Heaven''s Legacy city island. In the pitch-black palace at the top, several Divine Emissaries and the Heaven Lord himself were waiting.


    "Your Excellency Heaven Lord, with my strength, I was definitely capable of capturing Zhao Feng, but-" Yu Liuping got down on one knee and hastily explained.


    "No matter what your explanation is, you still defied my order." The Heaven Lord''s eyes were half-closed and his tone was flat and indifferent, but this made Yu Liuping even more afraid.


    "Yes!" Yu Liuping did not dare argue, but there was one thing that he needed to say. "This subordinate''s failure is closely connected to Yu Tianwu. Otherwise, the Ninth God Eye would have already been ours!"


    The name "Yu Tianwu" immediately caused the mood in the palace to change.


    The Heaven Lord opened his deep and profound eyes. "Explain everything regarding this man that you know. Don''t leave out a single detail!"


    Although the Divine Emissaries present were not members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, they knew of the surname Yu, and they also knew of the name Tianwu.


    Yu Tianwu was the leader of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Sage Faction.


    It had been a very long time since the Sage Faction had last appeared before them. They had not expected for the Sage Faction''s shadow to appear at this crucial moment.


    "At the time, it was only Yu Tianwu''s spatial projection that appeared in the Light Race Divine Kingdom...." Yu Liuping immediately recounted everything that transpired regarding Yu Tianwu.


    In truth, his failure had little connection with Tianwu, but by revealing the matter, he could reduce the blame the Heaven Lord placed on him.


    "It seems like the Sage Faction has some understanding of our plan. As we are at a critical juncture, I will not punish you...." A sharp light flashed in the Heaven Lord''s indifferent eyes.


    The Heaven Defying Faction''s plan had always been a tightly-guarded secret. Not even the Divine Emissaries knew the exact details. But given how the Sage Faction had so abruptly appeared, he had to be careful.


    "Left Protector, what is the state of your investigation?" The Heaven Lord looked at the Protector.


    The chances that the Sage Faction knew their entire plan was extremely low. What needed to be done at this time was completing the plan as quickly as possible. Once everything was settled, not even the Sage Faction would be able to do anything about it.


    "The factions with a close relationship to Zhao Feng within the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods are the Spiritual Race and Giant God Hall. Giant God Hall has already moved, leaving only the Spiritual Race. Besides that, the place Zhao Feng first appeared was the Gulong Zone...." the Protector slowly spoke.


    The Heaven Lord had him investigate everything regarding Zhao Feng in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Only after understanding everything about him could they find his weakness.


    "The Ziling Zone where the Spiritual Race resides is overseen by the Life God. We can''t move against them yet." The Heaven Lord shook his head.


    "Your subordinate also learned that Zhao Feng is extremely close with the prodigy of the Spiritual Race, Zhao Yufei. Zhao Feng joined the Spiritual Race because of this woman, and this woman has taken her leave of the Spiritual Race." The Protector smiled.


    "Okay. You will personally handle this matter." The Heaven Lord nodded. He was more at ease when the Protector was on the job.


    Down below, Yu Liuping was shocked. The Left Protector was a person of extremely high status in the Heaven''s Legacy Race. He didn''t expect for the Heaven Lord to have the Protector personally carry out this mission.


    But this also represented the Heaven Lord''s resolve to obtain the Ninth God Eye. Zhao Feng was definitely done for.


    On the other end, Zhao Feng and Giant God Hall traveled in the Light Race Divine Kingdom, beginning their long journey to the Sage Faction. The location given by Yu Tianwu was extremely far away from the Chixing Zone, but this was fine; it would avoid any problems with the Illusion God Sacred Land.


    On the journey, everyone spent their time in seclusion. The Light Race was burdened with a mission of vengeance and needed to get stronger. Meanwhile, Giant God Hall was facing a powerful foe in the Illusion God Sacred Land. The pressure and humiliation served to stimulate their potential.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng also began a long seclusion within the Dream Divine Kingdom. He had just broken into the Second Heaven, and he needed a large amount of time to stabilize his foundations.


    After each period of cultivation, he would restrict himself in various ways and search for opponents in the Divine Kingdom to hone himself.


    Time flew by, and Zhao Feng had soon spent ten-some years stabilizing his cultivation. Of course, this was all within the Divine Kingdom.


    In this period, Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos energy had made significant progress. Of his other Intents, he had succeeded in turning his Lightning Intent into a Law. This might have been because Zhao Feng had a Lightning Soul Body, and another reason could have been that the Dream God Eye had improved his comprehension abilities, causing his understanding of the Lightning Dao to unexpectedly ascend to the Law level.


    Other than solidifying his foundations and increasing his cultivation level, Zhao Feng spent the majority of his time on the Dream God Eye.


    The Dream God Eye had already reached the God Eye level, but Zhao Feng was still unable to use its full power. This was partially down to his cultivation.


    Of course, while researching Dream eye-bloodline techniques, he had not forgotten how he got here. A long time ago, he had an idea of mixing Chaos Origin power with his Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, or perhaps fusing Tribulation Lightning energy into the eye-bloodline technique version of the Chaos Origin Divine Sword. Now that Zhao Feng could easily use the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword and his understanding of the Lightning Dao had reached the Law level, it would be much easier to try out this kind of eye-bloodline technique.


    Swish!


    Lightning brands emerged on Zhao Feng''s left eye. At the same time, a miniature Primal Chaos Divine Sword formed. The two of them slowly began to merge.


    Thwish!


    Suddenly, a sword of lightning shot forward. It left a scarred and twisted path in the air.


    After being fused with Tribulation Lightning energy, the Primal Chaos Divine Sword was much more powerful, but Zhao Feng was not completely satisfied. His initial idea of the fusion of the Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame and Primal Chaos Divine Sword was abnormally powerful and was able to be instantly fired.


    Zhao Feng further studied the eye-bloodline technique version of the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword. Although it was very fast, it was not easily fired, meaning there was still a chance of dodging it.


    Three years later, the Light Race Divine Kingdom reached the Qianshan Zone in the western region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The zones adjacent to the Qianshan Zone were the Tianhe Zone and Tongtai Zone.


    Zhao Feng was rather surprised that the Sage Faction was hidden here. Zhao Feng had been captured by the Heaven Defying Faction in the Tianhe Zone, and then he had offended the Tongtai Zone''s Golden Dragon Sacred Land. He was still probably being hunted in the Tongtai Zone.


    But he was confident that if he hid in the Sage Faction, the Golden Dragon Sacred Land would never be able to find him.


    After venturing through an endless range of mist-covered mountains, Xin Wuheng, Twilight Valley, and Zhao Feng arrived at a cool and clear mountain valley.


    "This is the place!" Twilight Valley called out.


    At this moment:


    Bzzz!


    In the distance, the mist roiled, forming a passage. Through this passage was an otherworldly paradise.


    The location of the Sage Faction was a place of verdant hills and clear streams. Clouds of mist lingered, imbuing the place with a tranquil and mysterious aura. All of this was far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.


    When they arrived, their hearts inexplicably felt calm.


    "Everyone, welcome! Lord Tianwu is expecting you!" a sage wearing a pitch-black robe warmly spoke. At the same time, he subtly inspected Zhao Feng.


    The sage led the way into the territory of the Sage Faction.


    Though the world was engulfed in mist, one could see many black towers poking out of the whiteness. At the center of this world was an abnormally large and mystical pitch-black tower.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race, Sage Faction!" Xin Wuheng was so excited that he found it hard to calm down.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was the 3rd ranked mythical race, and now, they were about to see the leader of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Sage Faction.


    Each of them had countless questions on their minds. The Heaven''s Legacy Race was the most intelligent of all species. Perhaps Giant God Hall could get some guidance on its destiny within this place.


    Once they reached the top floor, the group discovered that there were only five people in this spacious and still room.


    Their eyes focused on the two people standing at the very front. One of these people had an appearance completely identical to the projection that had appeared in the Light Race Divine Kingdom. Next to him was a woman with a quiet and elegant beauty.


    "Sage, she..." Zhao Feng was struck dumb.


    He had been planning to ask Yu Tianwu where the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace and Liu Qinxin had gone and why he had seen a girl extremely similar to Liu Qinxin in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but now, he saw that this mysterious woman who was extremely similar to Liu Qinxin was standing right next to Yu Tianwu.


    Of course, Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley were also rather astonished when they saw this woman. Back when they were fighting against Yu Heng in the Light Race Divine Kingdom, they had seen the back of a person who was very similar to this woman. And that cat was here as well.


    So that''s what was going on! It was the Sage Faction who helped the Light Race back there? Twilight Valley sighed. It seemed like the Sage Faction and Heaven Defying Faction truly were different. He had made the right choice.


    And Xin Wuheng also found this woman to be very familiar.


    "You... are...?" Zhao Feng carefully examined the white-clothed woman.


    "Feng, we meet again!" a voice mixed with many complicated emotions spoke.


    "Are you Liu Qinxin or Liu Qinyin...?" Zhao Feng''s mind was rendered blank by those words.


    "Names are just designations. As long as you know that I''m that person, you can call me whatever you want!" Although the white-clothed woman maintained a calm expression, everyone could sense her joy.


    "It''s really you? Qinxin!" Zhao Feng was in disbelief.


    This woman before him was really that person from the Continent Zone. Since she basically admitted that she was both Liu Qinxin and Liu Qinyin and that it didn''t matter what she was called, Zhao Feng decided to call her Liu Qinxin. After all, he had memories associated with this name.


    Meowmeow!


    At this moment, the little thieving cat rushed out of the interspatial dimension and viewed its surroundings with wide eyes.


    At the same time, the big lazy cat on Liu Qinxin''s shoulder opened its indolent eyes. When it saw the little thieving cat, a look of disdain appeared within them.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat harrumphed, holding its head high and straightening up, taking up a challenging posture against the big lazy cat.

 1514 The Little Thieving Cats Secre

    Chapter 1514 - The Little Thieving Cat''s Secret


    The interaction between the two cats instantly shattered the earlier mood. The extremely senior sages within the tower pensively stared at the little thieving cat.


    Zhao Feng dryly coughed and looked at Yu Tianwu. Although Yu Tianwu had already said that the Continent Zone''s Six Warlock Divine Sage was one of his clones, Zhao Feng could not act as closely with Yu Tianwu as he had with the Six Warlock Divine Sage.


    "Sage, just where did this cat come from?" Zhao Feng pointed at the little thieving cat and asked.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Cat was the highest secret of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Yu Tianwu definitely knew about it. It was just a matter of if he was willing to talk about it.


    "I didn''t think that this Heaven''s Legacy Cat of yours would have already matured to this level!" Yu Tianwu said in surprise as he inspected the little thieving cat.


    Zhao Feng looked at the big lazy cat on Liu Qinxin''s shoulder. The only ways the little thieving cat had changed recently were in the size of its body and the designs on its body. It appeared that the big lazy cat was in no way inferior to the little thieving cat. The big lazy was very large, and its body had always been covered in silver designs.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Cats were originally just implanted with the Heaven''s Legacy Race bloodline and given several other abilities. They served as the ideal companions for the Heaven''s Legacy Race, but later on, the Heaven Defying Faction used the Heaven''s Legacy Cats for the Ancient Race Duplication Plan," Yu Tianwu suddenly said, and his words astonished Zhao Feng.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race... the Ancient Race Duplication Plan?" Zhao Feng blurted out.


    Yu Tianwu''s words were simply astonishing, and Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley were similarly shocked. This cat was actually connected to the number Ancient Race? They had also heard about how the Heaven''s Legacy Race wanted to control the Ancient Race bloodline, but they knew nothing about the specifics.


    "The Ancient Race bloodline is too powerful. Those who are compatible enough to safely fuse with it are less than one in several hundred million. But the creatures the Heaven''s Legacy Race created can be modified, and once a Heaven''s Legacy Cat successfully fuses with the Ancient Race bloodline, it means that the members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race can also fuse with the Ancient Race bloodline."


    The matter Yu Tianwu had divulged left everyone dumbfounded.


    Twilight Valley and Xin Wuheng were particularly shocked. As expected, the Heaven''s Legacy Race wanted to control the power of the Ancient Race.


    "Then this thieving cat...?" Zhao Feng had never imagined that the little thieving cat would be hiding this kind of secret. It was no wonder the Heaven''s Legacy Race had such a desire for this Heaven''s Legacy Cat, even nurturing it. It was for the sake of its bloodline.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng was a little happy. If the little thieving cat was this powerful, then as long as he trained it well, it would be of enormous assistance in the future.


    "However, your Heaven''s Legacy Cat is a failed product," Yu Tianwn added.


    Zhao Feng was struck dumb and given a rather sharp blow. The little thieving cat was actually a failed product!? Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat immediately showed an expression of extreme displeasure. It repeatedly gestured, saying it was unique, not a failed product.


    "Haha, although it''s failed product, it experienced a mutation that has led to many more variables. It''s already left the bounds of the original Heaven''s Legacy Cats created by the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Although it doesn''t have the Ancient Race bloodline, it has an ability that allows it to imitate the bloodline powers of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races!" Yu Tianwu smiled and continued.


    Only when the little thieving cat heard this did it let the matter go.


    "Imitate the Ten Thousand Ancient Races?" Now that Zhao Feng thought about it, this really was the case.


    The little thieving cat had used the secret arts of many different races, but it was only able to imitate those ranked in the teens at best. The bloodlines of the top ten were somewhat more difficult to mimic. Of course, based on what Yu Tianwu had said, the little thieving cat still had room to grow.


    Zhao Feng finally had an answer to the mystery of the little thieving cat.


    "Sage, why did your clone descend to the Continent Zone?" As they talked, Zhao Feng realized that the sage was rather easy-going, even willing to talk about the highest secrets of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, so Zhao Feng also began to relax.


    The dimensions outside the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were known as the outer dimensions, and there were countless such dimensions like the Continent Zone. Why had the leader of the Sage Faction, Yu Tianwu, sent one of his clones to the Continent Zone? What was his goal? The little thieving cat? Or the Ninth God Eye...?


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race is a race from outside this universe - you probably know this." Yu Tianwu was rather surprised. He had clearly not expected Zhao Feng to ask this question, but he still replied without reservation.


    "Outside the universe!?" Everyone was startled by these words. The Heaven''s Legacy Race truly had suddenly appeared in the Fan Universe during the Ancient Era.


    What lay beyond this universe remained an eternal question in their minds.


    "The original world of the Heaven''s Legacy Race was destroyed and scattered into several pieces that were tossed into the chaotic world outside the universe. Our piece ended up in this strange world and became unable to communicate with the outside world. I am currently searching for an opportunity to leave this place. Back then, I calculated many points of opportunity and placed my clones in these dimensions. Your Continent Zone was one of them," Yu Tianwu explained the reason.


    It turned out that many of these small outer dimensions had Yu Tianwu''s clones. The Six Warlock Divine Sage was only one of them.


    "Leave this place?" Zhao Feng still could not understand what this was about, nor could anyone else.


    No one had ever been able to leave the Fan Universe before, and it was believed by many of the great powers in the Ancient Era that this was the only world. It was only later on that the arrival of the Heaven''s Legacy Race shattered this idea.


    "This opportunity might rest on you!" Yu Tianwu forthrightly said.


    Of course, Yu Tianwu could not be sure. The Ninth God Eye contained far too many variables and possibilities.


    Zhao Feng fell silent. He also did not know much about the Ninth God Eye. Even if Yu Tianwu said that the opportunity for the Heaven''s Legacy Race to leave the Fan Universe rested on him, Zhao Feng could not offer any help.


    In addition, Zhao Feng still remained doubtful about this point. No one had been able to leave the Fan Universe for countless years, and not even after the appearance of the Eight Great God Eyes had there been any talk about such a thing. Why would the Ninth God Eye suddenly change this situation?


    "Then what is the Heaven Defying Faction''s goal?" Zhao Feng asked.


    The Heaven Defying Faction was also part of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. Was their goal the same as the Sage Faction''s? To leave the Fan Universe?


    "Their goal might be the same as ours, but as for what they are up to, not even this old man is sure. However, I have calculated that once the Heaven Defying Faction''s plan succeeds, the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods will be plunged into calamity...." Yu Tianwu thought for a few moments and then sighed.


    "I feel that their goal is not the same as the Sage Faction''s!" Twilight Valley coldly said.


    He was extremely hostile to the Heaven Defying Faction. He would never believe that they would commit such contemptible acts for this goal.


    "We still don''t know about that, but the plans of the Heaven Defying Faction are definitely connected to the Ninth God Eye. Thus, Zhao Feng, you should stay here. Once you can fully use the power of the Ninth God Eye, you won''t have to be afraid of anything," Yu Tianwu voiced his idea.


    This was also what Zhao Feng had in mind. He trusted in Yu Tianwu''s calculations more than most. Of course, this was related to Liu Qinxin.


    If the Heaven Defying Faction succeeded, it would cause a disaster for the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. This was not something he wanted to see.


    The war of ancient times had caused the ancient continent to crumble and split apart and led to severe losses in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, some of them even going extinct. If this sort of thing happened again, who knew what state the Fan Universe would end up in?


    "We will also trouble you," Xin Wuheng politely said. On his first day in the Sage Faction, he had already learned such an astonishing secret. It seemed like his choice was correct.


    Zhao Feng, Giant God Hall, and the Light Race decided to stay with the Sage Faction for the time being.


    "Liu Qinxin, where did you get your Eyes of Destiny?" Zhao Feng questioningly looked at Liu Qinxin. In the Continent Zone, Liu Qinxin had not possessed an eye-bloodline.


    "From the legacy of the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace," Liu Qinxin calmly said.


    "To think that the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace was so special!" Zhao Feng sighed.


    The Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace had not only given Liu Qinxin an eye-bloodline, it had caused her cultivation to soar and taken her into the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "How did you come to meet the sage?" Zhao Feng continued asking.


    Although the current Liu Qinxin was noble, mysterious, calm, and elegant, Zhao Feng still felt extremely close to her. After leading Zhao Feng to his private residence, Liu Qinxin left.


    Just like this, Zhao Feng''s group came to reside with the Sage Faction.


    Quite a few of the Heaven''s Legacy Race intelligence crystals in the Sage Faction were useful for cultivation.


    The little thieving cat spent the entire day out and about, apparently exploring the area.


    Besides cultivating, Zhao Feng could also go and see Liu Qinxin. Although they didn''t seem to have much to talk about, once they did start talking, they seemed to forget time, and their conversations seemed like they could carry on forever.


    Zhao Feng spent several years in the Sage Faction solidifying his cultivation. After that, he began to cultivate the higher levels of the Primal Chaos Scripture.


    He believed that these peaceful days would continue for some time, but one day, Yu Tianwu asked Zhao Feng to see him. The atmosphere in the tower was solemn.


    "What''s the bad news?" Zhao Feng sensed that something was wrong.


    Anything that could make the Sage Faction so grim could not be a good thing.


    "The Heaven Defying Faction is intent on obtaining the Ninth God Eye. Since you''ve been hiding for the last few years, they''ve found a way to force you to appear!" Yu Tianwu said.


    "So it really does have to do with the Heaven Defying Faction." Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    "Feng, Grandmaster and I have calculated that the Heaven Defying Faction might move against Zhao Yufei." Liu Qinxin stepped forward, a complicated look on her face.

 1515 Zhao Yufeis Circumstances

    Chapter 1515 - Zhao Yufei''s Circumstances


    "Feng, Grandmaster and I have calculated that the Heaven Defying Faction might move against Zhao Yufei." Liu Qinxin stepped forward, a complicated look on her face.


    Zhao Feng was astonished. He hadn''t expected for the Heaven Defying Faction to move against Zhao Yufei. But in truth, the Heaven Defying Faction''s goal was Zhao Feng. They couldn''t find Zhao Feng, so they wanted to force him out using this.


    "I''m burdening Yufei...." Zhao Feng felt a hint of shame, but he felt comparatively more anger. He had not expected for the Heaven Defying Faction to be so despicable.


    "Qinxin, is there any way to dispel the danger?" Zhao Feng immediately asked.


    At present, Zhao Yufei might still be unaware of the hidden danger threatening her life, and Liu Qinxin only said that the Heaven Defying Faction might move against Zhao Yufei, meaning they hadn''t succeeded yet and were probably still searching for her. As long as he could find Zhao Yufei before the Heaven Defying Faction did, he could safely resolve the crisis.


    "We''ve already managed to calculate Zhao Yufei''s rough position." A ripple of emotion appeared in Liu Qinxin''s eyes when she saw how worried Zhao Feng was.


    Zhao Feng learned that Zhao Yufei had already left the Spiritual Race, but this only put Zhao Yufei in even more danger. He needed to find her as quickly as possible.


    "Zhao Feng, this is an incredibly dangerous move. The Ninth God Eye is of utmost importance. You need to think this over carefully!" Yu Tianwu emotionally sighed.


    It was obvious that this was the Heaven Defying Faction''s plan to force Zhao Feng out. The pitfall had already been dug out, and all that was needed was for Zhao Feng to jump in.


    Zhao Feng couldn''t help but recall the sage''s words from before; if the Heaven Defying Faction succeeded in its plan, the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods would suffer disaster.


    "I can''t allow Yufei to be hurt because of me!" Zhao Feng firmly said after a moment of thought.


    If he were to allow his childhood sweetheart to lose her life because of him while he was completely capable of stopping it, he would never be able to rest easy.


    "This old man will respect your decision, and I will also help you by disrupting and suppressing the Heaven Defying Faction." Yu Tianwu smiled as if he had long ago predicted Zhao Feng''s decision.


    "Many thanks." Zhao Feng kept the courtesies to a minimum.


    The power of the Sage Faction was an absolute necessity in saving Zhao Yufei from the Heaven Defying Faction. Yu Tianwu had been constantly helping him with his problems and questions, and Zhao Feng could not put his gratitude into words. If he could help the Sage Faction in the future, he would not shirk his responsibility.


    "Feng, I will also help you." Liu Qinxin''s face revealed a hint of affection.


    Zhao Feng was flabbergasted, and he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.


    The woman before him had already admitted that she was Liu Qinxin, and in this period of time, Zhao Feng had sensed the affection Liu Qinxin had for him. Just now, Zhao Feng had displayed great concern over the fact that another woman was in danger, but now, Liu Qinxin appeared very calm and indifferent. This made very little sense.


    "Okay." Zhao Feng stared at Liu Qinxin and assented. At the same time, he saw a hint of sorrow in Liu Qinxin''s eyes, but at this time, finding Zhao Yufei was more important. Worrying about more would serve little purpose.


    Zhao Feng returned and began to make preparations, in addition informing the Light Race and Xin Wuheng of what was going on. It was naturally best if he had the help of others when fighting against the Heaven Defying Faction.


    However, Zhao Feng would not insist. After all, this matter was far too dangerous. He would accept whatever choice they made.


    "If Zhao Yufei is in trouble, I naturally won''t just put my hands in my sleeves and watch from the sidelines!" Xin Wuheng grinned.


    No matter how one looked at it, he and Zhao Yufei came from the same place.


    "Cultivating for a long time is rather boring. It''s about time I went out and tempered myself!" Xin Wuheng appeared rather optimistic.


    He had recently made a lot of progress. He was now a peak Second Heaven and not very far from the Third Heaven.


    In his past life, Xin Wuheng had been exceptionally talented, with high hopes of becoming a God King. After his rebirth, Xin Wuheng had established an even stronger foundation that brought him even closer to this goal.


    "How confident are you?" Twilight Valley asked a more pertinent question.


    "With the help of the Sage Faction, if our luck is good, we might be able to find Zhao Yufei before the Heaven Defying Faction. If our luck is bad, it will be hard to avoid a conflict," Zhao Feng spoke frankly.


    "Okay! This time, the Light Race will help you!" After pondering the matter for a while, Twilight Valley agreed.


    It had always been part of his plan to rely on the strength of the Ninth God Eye and the Giant God Race to take revenge on the Heaven Defying Faction. He could not just allow Zhao Feng to die. Moreover, Zhao Feng and Liu Qinxin had assisted the Light Race in the past.


    He chose to help Zhao Feng both to return a favor and because he needed Zhao Feng''s strength and could not let him die.


    Zhao Feng was elated to see that both Giant God Hall and the Light Race were willing to help him.


    Later that day, Zhao Feng and the others set off.


    Giant God Hall sent Xin Wuheng and the Grand Elder while the Light Race sent only Twilight Valley. After all, the foe they were facing was abnormally powerful and not one that pure numbers could deal with. Top-class fighting forces were of the utmost importance.


    Based on the calculations of Yu Tianwu and Liu Qinxin, Zhao Yufei was located in the Tianhe Zone. The group used the Sage Faction''s Heaven''s Legacy teleportation array to directly move into the Tianhe Zone, adjacent to the Qianshan Zone.


    On the journey, the little thieving cat would occasionally throw out a few bronze coins to divine Zhao Yufei''s position, but the clues were too few. It was rather difficult to find a single person in a place as large as a zone.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat pointed forward and gestured.


    "Zhao Yufei is in the center of the Tianhe Zone!" Zhao Feng immediately said, and the group picked up the pace.


    As the little thieving cat continued divining, the range of their search continued to shrink. By the time they arrived at the central region of the Tianhe Zone, the little thieving cat had ruled out several more areas.


    Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley couldn''t help but sigh in wonder. The Heaven''s Legacy Cats, implanted with the blood of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, truly were extraordinary.


    Zhao Feng sensed that he was getting closer and closer to Zhao Yufei.


    "I hope Yufei is okay!" Zhao Feng didn''t hope that the Heaven Defying Faction wouldn''t find Zhao Yufei, only that she was okay. As long as she was fine, there was a chance to turn things around even if she had been found.


    Near the center of the Tianhe Zone in the Burning Heaven Sea:


    Thwish!


    A faint violet glow suddenly burst out, transforming into a jade-like woman wearing a light purple robe. Her gorgeous face had several men in the nearby area slack-jawed and wide-eyed, but right after noticing her, they realized that she was actually a God Lord. To become a God Lord at such a young age was truly too difficult.


    This woman was naturally Zhao Yufei, who had left the Spiritual Race to temper herself. Two months ago, she had used the Heaven Void God Origin Ginseng Zhao Feng had left her to smoothly reach the God Lord level.


    At this moment, the waves of fire in the Burning Heaven Sea churned.


    "Not good! They''re coming!" Zhao Yufei¡¯s face tightened as she once more transformed into a violet streak of lig^ fled.


    Boom!


    The Burning Heaven Sea exploded, two people rushing out. One of these was a middle-aged man wearing golden-red armor and radiating a fiery glow. Next to him was an elder wearing a robe that depicted a red sun.


    "That way!" The elder''s eyes focused.


    The two immediately flew off in pursuit.


    "Wasn''t that middle-aged man the illustrious God Lord Bloodthirst of the Purgatory Sacred Land?" an Ancient God called out in alarm.


    The Purgatory Sacred Land was the Sacred Land of the Tianhe Zone.


    God Lord Bloodthirst was a rather famous First Heaven God Lord in the Tianhe Zone. It was rumored that he was extremely bloodthirsty. Back then, some Ancient God was rude to him, so this man slaughtered him and the peak four- star faction he belonged to.


    "Who was that woman? She actually offended God Lord Bloodthirst and earned his attention!? She''s doomed!" A young Ancient God shook his head.


    "Little girl of the Spiritual Race, the more you struggle, the more this God Lord Bloodthirst likes you! When the time comes, you''ll be wishing for death!" God Lord Bloodthirst''s face exuded evil, and his brutal and evil desires were plainly seen in his eyes.


    But after pursuing for some time, God Lord Bloodthirst and the robed elder realized that the distance between them and Zhao Yufei wasn''t shrinking at all.


    "This little girl isn''t simple," God Lord Bloodthirst muttered.


    She was so young, but she had speed comparable to older First Heavens like him and the elder beside him.


    "She does have the Spiritual Race bloodline. If you hadn''t revealed your killing intent so early, the Blood Spirit God Origin Stone might have already been ours!" the elder rebuked.


    Zhao Yufei had accidentally discovered a Blood Spirit God Origin Stone in the Burning Heaven Sea. The two of them happened to be passing by, so they decided to seize it for themselves.


    This natural treasure could thicken one''s bloodline and strengthen the level of atavism. It could also concentrate and strengthen one''s Divine Power. The Blood Spirit God Origin Stone presented an immense temptation to First Heaven God Lords, and even Second Heaven God Lords would have need of it.


    The elder looked ahead and shouted, "God Lord of the Spiritual Race, if you''re willing to give us half of the Blood Spirit God Origin Stone, we will drop the matter here!"


    Zhao Yufei naturally wouldn''t believe this. She ignored the words of her pursuers and continued to flee with all her might. With her God Martial Race legacy, she possessed a higher level of understanding with regards to every combat skill. Speed arts were no different.


    Suddenly, Zhao Yufei sensed several alarmingly powerful energies appearing in front of her. When she focused, she saw several figures far in the distance. One of them was a man with dreamy silver hair and wearing a silver robe. Wasn''t this Zhao Feng? When she saw the little thieving cat on his shoulder and Xin Wuheng next to him, she was even more certain.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei rejoiced, and her eyes moistened. She prepared to rush over.


    But suddenly, she grimaced. "No, I can''t let the Purgatory Sacred Land''s people notice Brother Feng!"


    The members of the Purgatory Sacred Land were patrolling the Burning Heaven Sea in part to find clues as to how Vermillion Bird Pavilion and Swift Wind Gate were destroyed, but they were also searching for clues related to the Ninth God Eye.


    Zhao Yufei had also come to the Burning Heaven Sea because she heard that the Ninth God Eye had appeared here. Once she arrived, she came to better understand a few things. She learned that many great powers of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods desired the Ninth God Eye.


    Zhao Yufei clenched her teeth and began to move in a different direction.


    In the distance, Zhao Feng also rejoiced upon seeing Zhao Yufei, because they had managed to find her before the Heaven Defying Faction did. But Zhao Yufei suddenly turned in another direction, leaving Zhao Feng astonished.


    But Zhao Feng soon discovered the reason. With his extensive vision, he spotted two figures nearly one million li away.

 1516 Fighting Beiming Hui Again

    Chapter 1516 - Fighting Beiming Hui Again


    Near the Burning Heaven Sea, Divine Emissary Beiming Hui was leading the two Palace Kings God Lord Tyrant Dragon and God Lord Heavenly Solitude in searching for Zhao Yufei.


    Beiming Hui was holding a rectangular device that had a silver ball in its center. This was a search instrument of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. They had found Zhao Yufei''s energy traces and created this search instrument to track her down.


    "That Zhao Yufei, just where is she hiding?" God Lord Tyrant Dragon was rather worried.


    As he was complaining, the search instrument in Beiming Hui''s hand suddenly began to flash.


    "Zhao Yufei is over there!" Beiming Hui gleefully said.


    The party flew off in the direction indicated by the search instrument.


    On the other end, God Lord Bloodthirst and the elder were in the middle of chasing down Zhao Yufei, but suddenly, their target changed directions. Moreover, this change caused them to get a little closer to Zhao Yufei.


    "What''s wrong with this girl?" The elder was confused.


    "Forget about that. Let''s capture her first!" God Lord Bloodthirst''s eyes flashed with sharp light as his speed suddenly increased.


    This was the Tianhe Zone, the territory of the Purgatory Sacred Land. Was there a need to worry that much about their actions?


    Swoosh swoosh!


    The two God Lords altered their trajectory to continue the pursuit. At the current distance, they were able to launch attacks that could disrupt Zhao Yufei.


    Whoosh! Bang!


    God Lord Bloodthirst thrust out a finger, unleashing a bloody ray of light.


    In the far distance, Zhao Feng understood that Zhao Yufei was trying to protect him by trying to draw away her pursuers. He couldn''t help but feel a tinge of warmth, but he felt an even greater fury.


    "Brother Xin, please lend a hand!" Zhao Feng immediately said.


    The enemies were God Lords, and he could not recklessly expose himself. Besides, Xin Wuheng was more than enough.


    Swish!


    Xin Wuheng shot forward. A moment later, he appeared in front of God Lord Bloodthirst and the elder.


    Boom! Bang!


    God Lord Bloodthirst''s attack struck Xin Wuheng''s body and was easily blocked, exploding in a burst of bloody fire.


    God Lord Bloodthirst and the elder both trembled in terror. Anyone who could so easily block God Lord Bloodthirst''s attack with their divine body was either a body-refining Second Heaven or a Third Heaven! In short, this God Lord who had appeared before them was not someone they could offend.


    "Senior, forgive us! This one is God Lord Bloodthirst of the Purgatory Sacred Land. We had a quarrel with that woman up ahead, so we pursued her...." God Lord Bloodthirst immediately lowered his head and began to explain.


    In his view, this person who had suddenly intervened was definitely related to the Spiritual Race girl.


    "We have committed a great offense! Please forgive us!" The elder begged for forgiveness.


    Zhao Feng observed from a distance, and he was in the middle of concentrating his mind so he could message Zhao Yufei.


    But at this moment, Zhao Feng spotted three figures in his field of vision, and he instantly grimaced.


    "Found her!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude became excited. He had expected that they would be the first group to find the target.


    The appearance of Beiming Hui''s group was naturally noticed by Zhao Yufei.


    "So strong!" The powerful auras exuded by the trio had Zhao Yufei alarmed. At the same time, she found it very strange. Why had she encountered so many powerful God Lords in such a short span of time?


    "Okay!" Beiming Hui''s eyes focused as he released Primal Chaos energy from his hands.


    You..." Zhao Yufei immediately knew that the situation was bad, but she was powerless against Beiming Hui''s attack. However, at this moment, another stream of Primal Chaos energy howled past her.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two Primal Chaos energies collided, unleashing a storm of Divine Power.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng appeared at Zhao Yufei''s side and protected her from the storm.


    This energy... Zhao Feng!" Beiming Hui''s expression sank, and then his eyes widened in surprise.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei immediately grabbed Zhao Feng''s arm.


    "It''s fine. I''m here!" Zhao Feng lowered his head and gently said.


    But Zhao Feng truly felt some regret. They should have been able to find Zhao Yufei before the Heaven Defying Faction did, perfectly resolving everything. Alas, at the crucial moment, the members of the Heaven Defying Faction had appeared, and they were all acquaintances.


    Nearby, Xin Wuheng also found this quite a pity. They were fighting for every second with the Heaven Defying Faction to find Zhao Yufei first. Although they had found her first, the Heaven Defying Faction was right behind them.


    "Zhao Feng, this time, you won''t escape!" Beiming Hui''s expression darkened as he bellowed.


    He cared little about Zhao Yufei now. After all, they were only trying to capture Zhao Yufei to force the Ninth God Eye out.


    "Go in!" Zhao Feng immediately took Zhao Yufei into his Dream Divine Kingdom.


    On the other side, Xin Wuheng put aside God Lord Bloodthirst and immediately retreated.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng fell back to join up with Twilight Valley. Zhao Feng and Twilight Valley had speeds almost unparalleled within the ranks of Third Heaven God Lords. Even with Xin Wuheng, their speed was little affected.


    Beiming Hui''s group immediately set off in pursuit, but they discovered that they couldn''t close the distance at all.


    "This kid, has he really already reached this level?" As those figures up ahead slowly began to increase the gap, Beiming Hui was stunned.


    When he heard Yu Liuping say that Zhao Feng had killed Third Heaven God Lords in the Chixing Zone, he found it rather hard to believe. But in the clash just now, and with the speed Zhao Feng was displaying, he began to believe.


    He recalled how Zhao Feng had been nigh powerless against him when they first met, but in just a few short years, he had managed to reach this level of power. Beiming Hui could only sigh. This was truly the holder of the Ninth God Eye.


    "We can''t catch up! What do we do, Honored Divine Emissary?" God Lord Heavenly Solitude worriedly spoke.


    "There''s no need to worry! They can''t leave!" Beiming Hui was not that worried. He was not the only Divine Emissary looking for Zhao Yufei. When he discovered Zhao Yufei, he sent a message to all the other members.


    Just as expected, it wasn''t long after Zhao Feng''s group began to flee that a powerful energy appeared before them.


    "Haha, I truly didn''t expect for the Ninth God Eye to appear and throw himself into the net!" A slender man wearing a white robe appeared.


    "A Divine Emissary!" Zhao Feng''s eyes dimmed.


    Zhao Feng had seen all the Divine Emissaries in the Heaven''s Legacy Race Divine Kingdom and remembered all their appearances as if it was just yesterday. This white-robed man was one of these Divine Emissaries.


    "Light Race!" Twilight Valley could sense a familiar bloodline energy from this white-robed man.


    A moment later, a pitch-black woman in the Second Heaven appeared. From her cultivation, she was probably a Palace King of the Heaven Defying Faction.


    "Since that''s the case, fight!" Zhao Feng immediately barked.


    If they were just facing the slower Beiming Hui, they had a high chance of escaping, but the white-robed Divine Emissary had the Light Race bloodline, so he would probably be very difficult to throw off. Thus, it was better to fight and quickly take care of these people.


    Thwish!


    Twilight Valley shot toward the white-robed Divine Emissary, activating his Light Race bloodline. He had an extreme loathing for the Heaven Defying Faction already, and he hated those Heaven Defying Faction members with the Light Race bloodline to the utmost.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, summoning his three combat clones: Zhao Kong, Zhao Wang, and Zhao Wan.


    In the battle in the Light Race Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng had killed two Third Heaven God Lords and several Second Heavens, reaping a vast harvest of resources. Zhao Feng used only an extremely small amount of these resources, handing off the rest to his clones, the Black Destruction Dragon, the little thieving cat, and the rest of his subordinates. Thus, his subordinates had also gotten much stronger.


    Xin Wuheng joined with Zhao Feng''s clones to deal with the three Palace Kings. Zhao Feng went to fight with Beiming Hui.


    "Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng circulated his Primal Chaos energy and charged forward. "Hmph!" Beiming Hui snorted and fired off a ball of Primal Chaos energy at Zhao Feng.


    Seeing a person who had once been so weak now being as strong as him and possessing the same Primal Chaos energy left Beiming Hui''s heart seething with ugly feelings.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    In a single second, the two exchanged ten-some blows, waves of Primal Chaos energy sweeping through their surroundings. Mountains crumbled and the earth was obliterated.


    The two parted and rested for a few moments.


    "So powerful! His Primal Chaos energy is on the same level as mine, but his also has Tribulation Lightning energy!"


    Beiming Hui stared venomously at Zhao Feng. He originally believed that he was capable of defeating Zhao Feng, but in fact, he was on the back foot in their battle.


    "Chaos Origin Lock!" Beiming Hui pushed his palm forward, sending streams of Primal Chaos energy circling around Zhao Feng.


    Beiming Hui had once used this same move to capture Zhao Feng.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex!" Zhao Feng released his Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies, instantly forming a pitch-black hole that crackled with lightning.


    Kaboom! Hisss!


    The two powerful Primal Chaos energies fiercely collided. Beiming Hui''s Primal Chaos energy had taken the form of a dark halo that was attempting to constrict around Zhao Feng, but within the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex, Zhao Feng was like a porcupine. Not only could he defend, but he could also attack.


    The two Primal Chaos energies continued clash, their power distorting the surrounding space. In the end, Beiming Hui''s Primal Chaos energy was exhausted, and it failed to break Zhao Feng''s defense.


    "How could this be?!" Beiming Hui was unwilling to accept this result.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" At the same moment, Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex transformed into countless chaotic streams of energy that began to circle around Beiming Hui.


    "I''ve also learned this move." His eyes cold, Zhao Feng brought his hands together. The chaotic torrents began to spin, turning into a ring that began to gradually constrict.


    "Chaos Heaven Wave!" Beiming Hui circulated his Primal Chaos energy and unleashed a wave of distorted energy. Boom! Bang!


    A hole was punched through the Primal Chaos Lock, but it was quickly repaired.


    "Lock!" Zhao Feng called out. The chaotic streams of energy suddenly constricted, closing Beiming Hui within.


    "How could this be!?" Beiming Hui was somewhat dumbfounded. He had used this move against Zhao Feng and failed, and now, Zhao Feng was using a similar move to imprison him.


    "I can''t lose to you!" Beiming Hui bellowed, his body erupting with a chaotic and primal bloodline energy.


    Boom!


    This bloodline energy caused his body to gradually darken. The lower half of his body simply disappeared, replaced by a dark cloud.


    After activating his bloodline, Beiming Hui unleashed an even more powerful Primal Chaos energy that allowed him to break free of Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lock.


    "The Heaven Mending Race''s bloodline.... The quality and power of his Primal Chaos energy have both received a massive boost." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but sigh in praise.


    But Beiming Hui''s Heaven Mending Race bloodline was also a part of his calculations. Zhao Feng had not used his full strength just now, and he still had many more moves in reserve.

 1517 Killing One Palace King After Another

    Chapter 1517 - Killing One Palace King After Another


    "Chaos Heaven Wave!" After activating his Heaven Mending Race bloodline, Beiming Hui''s fighting power swelled. He thrust a hand forward, unleashing a wave of dark and twisted energy.


    Unpanicked, Zhao Feng flew up to meet it, his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword swelling in power and doubling in size.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng swung his sword down, and after a few moments of stalemate, he succeeded in cutting through the wave of energy.


    This time, Zhao Feng used his Lightning Law, increasing the power of his Tribulation Lightning energy to increase his sword''s damaging ability.


    "Lightning Law!?" Beiming Hui was taken aback. He didn''t expect that Zhao Feng had comprehended not just a Spacetime Law but a Lightning Law as well.


    At this moment:


    Thwish!


    A silver-gray streak appeared behind Beiming Hui and attacked him.


    "Seeking death!" Beiming Hui''s eyes chilled.


    The Heaven Mending Race was sensitive to all kinds of energy. Moreover, Beiming Hui himself was a Third Heaven God Lord. He immediately sensed the little thieving cat''s sneak attack.


    Bzzzz!


    Primal Chaos energy condensed behind Beiming Hui into a dark and sturdy wall.


    The little thieving cat would normally find it very difficult to break through the defenses of a Third Heaven God Lord, but at this moment, the little thieving cat''s body became as pitch-black as a shadow, and then it split apart into several different streams that moved around that dark wall. These four dark streams were incredibly hard to sense and were also completely identical.


    "A secret bloodline art of the Shadow Race!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    In the war between the Spiritual Race and Blazing Gold Race, Zhao Feng had battled with Ancient God Shadow Death of the Shadow Race. After that, he had battled with Shadowstream Peak, whose members used many powerful skills of the Shadow Race.


    Kaploosh!


    The four shadowy streams turned into four black little thieving cats. Each of them formed a pitch-black saber and slashed them at Beiming Hui''s body.


    In close quarters, the terrifying attacks of the Shadow Race struck almost instantly.


    Hiss... Beiming Hui hissed in pain as four wounds that were extremely difficult to heal appeared on his body.


    Zhao Feng focused his left eye on Beiming Hui''s wound and murmured in surprise, "The bloodline power of the Destruction Dragon Race!"


    This was the first time he had seen the little thieving cat use the bloodline power of a top ten ancient race. Perhaps this was due to the Black Destruction Dragon; after all, the two of them frequently spent their time together. Although this was not a complete copy of the Destruction Dragon Race''s power, it was already an incredible feat.


    "This Heaven''s Legacy Cat, it actually..." Beiming Hui was stunned beyond compare.


    Ordinary Heaven''s Legacy Cats only had the bloodline of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and were not powerful fighters. As for those Heaven''s Legacy Cats put through the Ancient Race Duplication Plan, they would either die in failure or obtain the Ancient Race bloodline. However, this cat used the abilities of several other ancient bloodlines. What was going on here?


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng used this chance to charge up and slash with his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The clash of Primal Chaos energy caused space itself to shake and groan.


    The injuries inflicted by the little thieving cat had some effect on Beiming Hui''s condition. Moreover, the observation abilities of Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye allowed him to see through Beiming Hui''s attacks and defenses and add to Beiming Hui''s wounds.


    "Die!" Beiming Hui bellowed, a dark fragment suddenly appearing in his hand.


    While Beiming Hui held this fragment, the power and quality of his Primal Chaos energy reached another level and began to exude an immense pressure.


    "Ancestral Artifact fragment!" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    And Beiming Hui was probably not holding any ordinary Ancestral Artifact fragment, but a fragment of the Ancestral Artifact owned by the Heaven Mending Race.


    "Chaos Heaven-Shattering Slash!" Beiming Hui swung the Ancestral Artifact fragment, unleashing a terrifying shockwave of Primal Chaos energy.


    This vast wave of Primal Chaos energy consumed all the energy in its path as it roared toward Zhao Feng. With the Ancestral Artifact fragment, Beiming Hui''s Primal Chaos attacks were probably a cut above Zhao Feng''s.


    "Since that''s the case, I''ll have you experience the power of the Dream God Eye!" Zhao Feng was unafraid. In his left eye, Tribulation Lightning and Primal Chaos energy began to pulse and fuse.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Sword!" A dark sword crackling with lightning fired out of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Thwish!


    Although it seemed heavy, this lightning sword quickly pierced through the sky.


    "Bringing together Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning power into an eye-bloodline technique?" Beiming Hui was startled. He was using the Ancestral Artifact fragment to strengthen his Primal Chaos energy. Meanwhile,


    Zhao Feng was using the Ninth God Eye to increase the power of his Primal Chaos energy.


    Boom! Bang!


    The dark lightning instantly pierced through the chaotic wave of energy, and Divine Power spread outward and devastated the surrounding area.


    But Zhao Feng''s left eye could see through all and noticed what was happening at the point of impact. That sword of dark lightning had punched a gap through the wave of energy. The Primal Chaos Lightning Sword was soon flying out of the shockwave.


    "The Primal Chaos Lightning Sword is more focused!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    In terms of damaging ability, this Primal Chaos ability might not have been comparable to Beiming Hui''s attack, but the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword''s power was focused on a single point, giving it more piercing ability.


    "No...!" Beiming Hui called out in alarm. The powerful attack he had created with the Ancestral Artifact fragment was still broken by Zhao Feng.


    Thwish!


    In a burst of lightning, a bloody hole was punched through Beiming Hui''s chest. The eye-bloodline technique version of the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword was also extremely damaging to the soul. Beiming Hui instantly felt his soul go numb.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng continued to attack Beiming Hui with his swords.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Beiming Hui waved his hand, summoning a vast wave of Primal Chaos energy to block Zhao Feng''s attack. "Dreamification!" Zhao Feng used his Dream Origin eye-bloodline technique.


    Origin energy surged out of his left eye, unleashing vast clouds of dreamy mist. In a flash, everything around Zhao Feng was covered in dreamy hues.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng attacked Beiming Hui once more.


    This time, Beiming Hui''s defenses, weakened by Dreamification, were easily shattered.


    Kacrack!


    A bolt of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy slammed into Beiming Hui''s chest. He flew backward, vomiting blood.


    "The power of the Ninth God Eye!" Beiming Hui sensed that the dazzling hues that painted the world were constantly draining away at his strength and filling his mind with inexplicable unease.


    Thwish!


    Beiming Hui suddenly retreated. He had seen Zhao Feng use Dreamification several times and had some understanding of it. With his heavy injuries, if he continued to battle with Zhao Feng while affected by Dreamification, he would be in grave peril. Thus, Beiming Hui chose to temporarily retreat and draw out the battle. He was confident that Zhao Feng could not maintain Dreamification forever!


    But to Beiming Hui''s surprise, Zhao Feng did not pursue.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng turned around himself and shot toward God Lord Tyrant Dragon, God Lord Heavenly Solitude, and the pitch-black woman.


    Their current objective was to escape, not fight to the death. Since Beiming Hui had chosen to retreat, Zhao Feng naturally wouldn''t doggedly pursue. Moreover, Beiming Hui was a Third Heaven God Lord and the Heaven Mending Race bloodline specialized in defense. Killing him would be as difficult or more than killing Yu Liuping.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Zhao Feng''s three clones and Xin Wuheng were embroiled in fierce combat with the three Palace Kings. Although the situation was a stalemate, this was rather decent in Zhao Feng''s view. After all, his three clones were at the Second Heaven or below.


    "I''ll kill you first!" Zhao Feng focused his eyes on God Lord Heavenly Solitude.


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude was the one of this trio that Zhao Feng was the most familiar with, and he was also the weakest.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng shot toward God Lord Heavenly Solitude in a silver streak of light.


    "What?" God Lord Heavenly Solitude was stunned. Zhao Feng had actually managed to defeat Divine Emissary Beiming Hui? But the sensation of imminent death sweeping through his mind did not give God Lord Heavenly Solitude much more time to be shocked.


    "Death Vortex!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude activated his Eye of Death, unleashing a pitch-black vortex that was brimming with Death Law energy, causing everything to trend toward death and decay.


    But in the face of absolute power, even death had to yield.


    Boom! Bang!


    A wave of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy blasted apart the Death Vortex and continued onward.


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s entire body trembled in fear at this sight, and he began to flee. However, this wave of energy moved far too quickly for God Lord Heavenly Solitude to dodge.


    Boom! Plush!


    The Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning wave struck, cutting off God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s right arm. The intense pain caused him to shriek and scream.


    "With this attack, I''ll take your dog life!" Before God Lord Heavenly Solitude could recover, Zhao Feng arrived, his voice brimming with killing intent.


    A wave of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning more powerful than the last howled over.


    Boom! Bang!


    God Lord Heavenly Solitude''s body exploded, utterly pulverized by the boundless Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies.


    The entire process had taken less than two seconds.


    "Zhao Feng, stop!" Beiming Hui furiously roared as he charged over.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng turned his left eye and fired off a sword of lightning.


    Beiming Hui shivered and dodged to the side.


    Kaploosh!


    But the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword was simply too fast and still managed to pierce through his right shoulder.


    The Primal Chaos Lightning Sword was both fast and powerful. Beiming Hui''s injuries were once more worsened, and dread took hold of his heart.


    "It''s your turn to die!" Zhao Feng''s eyes settled on the nearby God Lord Tyrant Dragon.


    "No...! Save me, Divine Emissary!" He had just watched Zhao Feng kill God Lord Heavenly Solitude, and now that Zhao Feng had turned his attention on him, God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s courage failed and he immediately asked Beiming Hui for help.


    Beiming Hui''s face twisted in hesitation and pain.


    "Zhao Feng, you dare...!?" Beiming Hui angrily spat as he activated his Ancestral Artifact fragment and prepared to attack Zhao Feng.


    He did not dare to get too close to Zhao Feng, but he could still interrupt Zhao Feng with long-range attacks.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex!" Zhao Feng circulated his Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy into the pitch-black Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Beiming Hui''s powerful attack crashed down, but by focusing his full power on defense, Zhao Feng was able to block it.


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon sighed in relief, but at this moment, a bolt of lightning shot out of the lightning vortex.


    "That''s...?" God Lord Tyrant Dragon focused on that bolt of lightning and realized that it was a sword made of twisted energy that crackled with lightning. Wasn''t this the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword that had pierced through Beiming Hui''s shoulder?


    Kaploosh!


    By the time God Lord Tyrant Dragon realized this, the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword had already pierced through his head.


    Bang!


    God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s body exploded, black flames crazily blazing. One could sense that God Lord Tyrant Dragon was on his last breath. If not for the fact that he was a member of the 9th ranked Destruction Dragon Race, possessing the Destruction Dragon Body, God Lord Tyrant Dragon would have been instantly killed.


    Thwish!


    But Xin Wuheng used this chance to charge up, his massive palm of Five Elements energy utterly extinguishing the black flames.


    At this time, two of the three Palace Kings had been killed. Only the pitch-black woman was left, and she was frightened out of her wits and confused as to what to do.

 1518 Killing a Divine Emissary

    Chapter 1518 - Killing a Divine Emissary


    The white-robed man battling with Twilight Valley saw what was happening on the other battlefield and froze in shock. Beiming Hui was one of the stronger Divine Emissaries, but he was now heavily injured, and two of the three Palace Kings had already died, with the remaining pitch-black woman in grave danger.


    "Beiming Hui, what''s going on!?" the white-robed man shouted in alarm.


    Beiming Hui fell silent, not knowing what to say. All they needed to do was hold down Zhao Feng until the Protector arrived, upon which everything would be settled, but after seeing Zhao Feng get so powerful and possess the same kind of Primal Chaos energy as himself, Beiming Hui had forgotten their original purpose. He became impatient and tried to defeat Zhao Feng to prove himself.


    In the end, he had been the one handed a miserable defeat. One could say that he had singlehandedly created this situation, but for Beiming Hui, this was all because of Zhao Feng.


    "Primal Chaos God Burial!" Beiming Hui bellowed as he burned his blood and Divine Power.


    Boom!


    He thrust both palms forward, releasing vast waves of Primal Chaos energy. This vast amount of Primal Chaos energy gathered below Zhao Feng, forming a Primal Chaos vortex that exerted a powerful pull that dragged in all energy in the world.


    Since he was right above the vortex, Zhao Feng felt the greatest pull of all. As this Primal Chaos energy vortex consumed energy, it continued to expand and rise upward. It was as if it wanted to bury Zhao Feng within.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng immediately activated his three Ancestral Artifact fragments, sending a wave of Spacetime energy at the vortex.


    This powerful Spacetime energy greatly hindered the vortex. The Primal Chaos vortex gradually began to weaken, its rotation speed slowing.


    Meanwhile, Zhao Feng slashed out several waves of energy with his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Boom! Bang!


    In a flash, the Primal Chaos vortex was blown apart.


    Upon seeing this, Beiming Hui retreated once more. He was heavily injured and had just used his most powerful bloodline art, but he still failed to hurt Zhao Feng. There was even a chance that Zhao Feng could kill him.


    On the other side, the sole remaining Palace King was surrounded by Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng''s three clones, giving her no chance of escape. A few moments later, the pitch-black woman was killed.


    With this, all three Palace Kings were dead!


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng turned to Twilight Valley''s battle with the white-robed Divine Emissary. As long as they could take care of the Divine Emissary with the Light Race bloodline, they could all safely leave.


    "No...! How could this be?" The white-robed man sensed several energies rapidly approaching and paled.


    "Time Prison!" Twilight Valley immediately redoubled his efforts.


    He wanted nothing more than to cut to pieces these Heaven''s Legacy Race members with implanted Light Race bloodlines.


    Bzzzz!


    Ethereal white lights appeared around the white-robed man, extending and connecting into a white cage.


    If a normal person was caught in this cage, they would undoubtedly move as slowly as a turtle. However, the white- robed man had the Light Race bloodline and had his Light Law and Time energy. He was extremely resistant to this technique.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    He thrust out his palms again and again, and his powerful Time energy eventually succeeded in breaching the Time Prison.


    But this had bought enough time for Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng to arrive.


    "Five Elements Law-Shattering Palm!" Xin Wuheng thrust out a palm, gathering Five Elements energy into a massive five-colored palm that thundered down from the sky.


    Zhao Feng swung his arm, throwing out the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword in his hand. His clones also used their own eye-bloodlines to attack the white-robed man.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The white-robed man was immediately engulfed in attacks, but this was not able to do much to the white-robed man. After all, he was of the Light Race and had a Time Body, which was extremely resistant to all kinds of energy.


    Thwish!


    The white-robed man charged out from that terrifying explosion.


    "Beiming Hui, what are you doing!? Have you thought of the consequences that will come with failing this mission?" the white-robed man immediately yelled. In his view, it was all Beiming Hui''s fault that they were in this situation.


    "The consequences...!" Beiming Hui shivered.


    The Heaven Lord''s plan was in its final stage. He was extremely focused on this matter and dearly hoped to obtain the Ninth God Eye. If this mission failed because of him, the consequences might be more frightening than death.


    When he thought of this, Beiming Hui took in a deep breath and turned to Zhao Feng''s group. He had to delay them until the Protector arrived.


    "Brother Xin, please hold off Beiming Hui for a moment!" Zhao Feng called out.


    Beiming Hui was greatly weakened by his injuries. Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng''s three clones would probably not have much of a problem holding him off.


    "Senior Twilight Valley, let''s go!" Zhao Feng immediately barked.


    The white-robed Light Race man was very fast. If he was not heavily injured or killed, they would find it very hard to escape.


    "Time Blade!" Twilight Valley swung out with his palm, sending out so many ethereal white blades that they seemed like a boundless white river.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng gripped a Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword and charged up for close-quarters combat.


    "Die!" the white-robed man roared, swinging both arms and unleashing two massive blades of Time energy. These blades brought silence wherever they passed, seeming to freeze even space itself.


    Seeing this, Zhao Feng formed two Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords and tossed them forward.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Time blades collided with Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords. As these energies detonated, a distortion of forbidden energy was created at the point of impact.


    "What powerful Primal Chaos energy! No wonder Beiming Hui lost!" The white-robed man was alarmed. He had used all his strength just now, but he still ended up on the losing side of this exchange.


    Meanwhile, a dreadful Primal Chaos storm was raging toward him.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The white-robed man released one ball of Time energy after another to disperse this storm.


    But at this moment, a dazzling bolt of lightning shot out of the center of the storm.


    Thwish!


    In a flash, a Primal Chaos Lightning Sword was shooting toward the white-robed man.


    "So fast!" The man grimaced.


    Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique was too fast. By the time he had noticed anything strange, the attack was right in front of him.


    The white-robed man unleashed Time energy to affect Zhao Feng''s attack while also trying to escape as quickly as he could.


    Zhao Feng calmly watched all this from a distance. He could almost guarantee one hundred percent accuracy with his Primal Chaos Lightning Swords, but things were different when his opponent was a member of the Light Race. The Time energy of the Light Race could slow down an enemy''s attack while also increasing one''s own speed. It was not for no reason that they were known as the fastest of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races.


    But Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye also had a basis for its reputation.


    Speed up... hit... Zhao Feng harnessed his Origin energy and Thought power and focused them on a single idea. His left eye focused on the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword. His only wish was for the sword to strike the white-robed man.


    The Realization ability instantly activated!


    As his God Eye evolved and his cultivation increased, Zhao Feng''s Thought power became stronger and stronger, as did his Realization ability.


    Thwish!


    The attack that originally had little chance of striking the white-robed man suddenly changed course and accelerated. "What!?" The white-robed man paled in disbelief.


    Normally, the faster an attack was, the more difficult it was to change its course, but he now saw this bizarre sight with his own eyes. Not only had the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword changed course, but it even accelerated. This was simply absurd.


    Kaploosh!


    The Primal Chaos Lightning Sword pierced through the man''s chest.


    Even a Time Body did not fare well against the encroachment of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy.


    At the same time, Twilight Valley''s blade of Time energy landed, cutting at the white-robed man''s ethereal body.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" Zhao Feng pushed both hands forward, unleashing vast amounts of Primal Chaos energy. This Primal Chaos energy transformed into countless chaotic torrents that completely surrounded the white-robed man.


    "No...!" When the white-robed man recovered from the attacks of Zhao Feng and Twilight Valley, he discovered that he was already trapped.


    "Lock!" Zhao Feng brought his hands together, and the chaotic energy instantly constricted into a ball that completely covered the white-robed man.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The white-robed man closed his eyes, and his entire body erupted with dazzling light, emanating powerful ripples of Time energy.


    "Zhao Feng, he''s going to escape!" Twilight Valley warned.


    The Time Body of the Light Race was rather unique. Once one used a bloodline secret art, one became capable of passing through all physical objects. The Primal Chaos Lock naturally would not be able to hold him.


    Of course, this was primarily because the devouring trait of Primal Chaos energy didn''t have much effect on Time energy. Otherwise, the chances of the white-robed man breaking free would have been much lower.


    "He won''t succeed!" Zhao Feng focused as he began to circulate Origin energy. He constructed a Dream Dimension in his mind.


    "Intrusive Dream!" As Zhao Feng''s left eye focused on the white-robed man, it began to radiate a massive pull.


    The white-robed man immediately felt his mind being pulled on, and he found it impossible to concentrate on using his secret art. Meanwhile, the Primal Chaos Lock continued to eat away at his energy.


    At the same time, Twilight Valley attacked. The Time attacks he used could pass through the Primal Chaos Lock and strike the white-robed man. Although their power would be weakened, it was better than nothing.


    The white-robed man''s body trembled and shivered. On one side, his mind was being pulled on by Zhao Feng''s Intrusive Dream. On the other side, the Primal Chaos Lock was slowly eating away at his power. And during all this, he still had to deal with Twilight Valley''s attacks.


    The pressure on three sides caused the white-robed man to gradually weaken. At a certain point, his mind relaxed, and he was pulled into Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension.


    As long as one was in his Dream Dimension, Zhao Feng could kill even a God King.


    Boom! Bang!


    The white-robed man within the Primal Chaos Lock inexplicably exploded, dying together with his soul.


    "No, Divine Emissary Chang...!" Beiming Hui called out in shock. He never would''ve imagined that Divine Emissary Chang, with his Light Race bloodline, would end up being killed by Zhao Feng.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng called out.


    Without the help of the Light Race Divine Emissary, the heavily-injured Beiming Hui was incapable of stopping them.


    Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng''s clones immediately retreated and prepared to leave.


    But at this moment, the entire world seemed to freeze as an immense pressure descended. A moment later, the entire world was dyed red and seething flames blazed to life.


    Everything was burning, even the earth and the air. All the people within this region also felt like they were about to ignite into flames.


    This feeling... God King!" Zhao Feng''s face went stiff.


    They had just managed to resolve their current predicament and were about to leave, and now a God King had come? Was it reinforcements from the Heaven Defying Faction?


    "It''s not the Protector." In the distance, Beiming Hui also sensed this scorching energy.


    "Where are you off to in such a rush?"


    There was a soft chuckle. A moment later, a smiling elder appeared in front of them, his body shrouded in boundless flames as he looked down upon them.

 1519 Group Battle Against a God King

    Chapter 1519 - Group Battle Against a God King


    "Purgatory Sacred Land, God King Charflame!" Beiming Hui muttered in shock as he stared at that elder wrapped in fiery light.


    "It seems like those two God Lords reported the matter!" Xin Wuheng''s expression darkened. If he knew things would turn out like this, he would have killed God Lord Bloodthirst and his companion.


    "The God King of the Purgatory Sacred Land?" Zhao Feng slightly exhaled in relief.


    In his eyes, a God King of the Heaven Defying Faction would be much stronger than a God King of a Sacred Land. As long as this newcomer wasn''t a God King from the Heaven Defying Faction, there was still a chance to turn things around.


    It seemed like there was only time for God King Charflame of the Purgatory Sacred Land to arrive. Since they outnumbered him, they could probably put up a fight.


    You recognize this old man?" God King Charflame looked at Beiming Hui.


    He had no impression of this Third Heaven God Lord with the Heaven Mending Race bloodline, but he did not care. After all, he was the God King of the Purgatory Sacred Land and was rather famous in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "Beiming Hui, it seems like your Heaven''s Legacy Race will lose out once again!" Zhao Feng interjected at this crucial moment.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race?" God King Charflame was taken aback, and he turned a dour stare on Beiming Hui.


    Several years ago, the upper echelon members of two five-star factions had been completely wiped out in the Burning Heaven Sea. Based on their investigation, the Sacred Land had concluded that this was related to the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    Beiming Hui glared at Zhao Feng. There was a chance of escaping the God King''s eyes, but now that the God King knew who he was, the situation had changed. Beiming Hui could now keenly sense this God King''s killing intent.


    Of course, Beiming Hui also keenly understood what Zhao Feng was aiming at. Zhao Feng wanted Beiming Hui to temporarily join with him in fighting back against the God King.


    "It seems that you plan to resist?" God King Charflame could naturally tell that Zhao Feng''s group planned to fight back, and Zhao Feng''s actions just now were to pull Beiming Hui to his side.


    Whoosh!


    Beiming Hui flew over to Zhao Feng''s side. Escaping alone was probably impossible, so he could only join with Zhao Feng''s group to fight back against the God King.


    "This generation of juniors is truly a bunch of know-nothings!" God King Charflame mockingly sighed.


    As he finished saying this, the temperature of the region suddenly began to soar while violent flames pressed toward Zhao Feng''s group.


    At this moment, energy of any other kind was pushed out. Under the effect of God King Charflame''s perfect Fire Law, all other Intents were greatly suppressed. Only the Primal Chaos energy of Zhao Feng and Beiming Hui was in a somewhat better state.


    Zhao Feng and Beiming Hui suddenly attacked, unleashing immense waves of Primal Chaos energy.


    Boom! Bang!


    The fire battered against the barrier of Primal Chaos energy, stirring up massive waves of flame.


    Within the defensive barrier, Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley launched their own attacks against God King Charflame. Thwish!


    Twilight Valley gathered Time energy into a tangible blade that cut through everything as it shrieked forward.


    Xin Wuheng activated his Giant God Race bloodline, harnessing his vast physical strength to fire off several palms of Fire energy.


    "You dare to counterattack?" God King Charflame was rather surprised. Were these people idiots or just ignorant to dare attack a God King?


    Boom!


    God King Charflame waved a palm, gathering together the boundless Fire energy in the world into a sun-like sphere and firing it off.


    "What a powerful attack!" Xin Wuheng was taken aback. If he took this attack from God King Charflame head-on, he would almost certainly be doomed.


    Boom! Bang!


    The vast sun sphere seethed with fire. As it swallowed up the attacks of Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley, it only dimmed a little.


    In the face of the immense pressure exuded by the sun sphere, Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley paled and backed up.


    "Chaos Heaven Wave!"


    "Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Slash!"


    Zhao Feng and Beiming Hui attacked, unleashing powerful Primal Chaos attacks that slammed into the scorching sun sphere.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two terrifying energies collided, and in the end, the sun sphere was blocked.


    "Not bad! This old man truly did look down on you!" God King Charflame smiled.


    Zhao Feng''s face darkened. There were two Third Heaven God Lords present, and Zhao Feng himself had the strength of a Third Heaven. Although Xin Wuheng was only at the peak Second Heaven, his strength was also bordering on the Third Heaven. But in this situation, they still only barely managed to fend off one attack of a God King!


    He originally planned to push back the God King and then flee, but now, Zhao Feng realized that he had been underestimating the power of a God King.


    "Zhao Feng, you''re too naive. God Kings are so powerful that even if we work together, we can only resist him!" Beiming Hui mocked.


    "Hmph, God Kings are also at the Third Heaven!" Zhao Feng coldly snorted.


    That all of them working together were only able to resist God King Charflame''s attack was primarily because Beiming Hui was too injured. Moreover, he definitely had some ulterior motive and was not using his full strength.


    Swish!


    With a wave of the Spacetime Robe, Zhao Feng put away his three clones. Their cultivation levels were too low to be of much help against a God King, and they were more likely to be killed.


    But after putting away the three clones, Zhao Feng summoned the Black Destruction Dragon.


    The Black Destruction Dragon had reached the Second Heaven. After all, the Black Destruction Dragon had already reached the First Heaven after its time in the Light Race Divine Kingdom. Later on, after Zhao Feng killed two Third Heaven God Lords, he gave most of the resources to the Black Destruction Dragon.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng called out.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Everyone charged forward. The Black Destruction Dragon, Twilight Valley, and Xin Wuheng were responsible for offense. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng and Beiming Hui, with their Primal Chaos energy, were responsible for fending off God King Charflame''s attacks.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Explosions resounded through the world of red flame, causing it to madly churn and seethe.


    At this moment, this area of battle had become a forbidden ground a full level higher than the Burning Heaven Sea. Ordinary First Heaven God Lords would not even dare to venture within.


    "You brats!" God King Charflame''s expression turned stem.


    These people working together actually succeeded in momentarily restraining him.


    Of these, Twilight Valley''s attacks were more effective. After all, at his prime, he was almost a God King, so he was incredibly shrewd and experienced.


    The Black Destruction Dragon and Xin Wuheng were also extremely strong existences for their level. In addition, the Black Destruction Dragon''s Origin Destruction was not as suppressed by the Fire Law.


    In addition, the little thieving cat was occasionally making sneak attacks when the opportunity presented itself.


    But even more important was that Zhao Feng and Beiming Hui were blocking God King Charflame''s attacks. Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos energy was on par with Beiming Hui''s, so it was like two Third Heaven God Lords were impeding and weakening God King Charflame''s attacks.


    Moreover, Zhao Feng would occasionally launch attacks against God King Charflame.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Sword!" A Primal Chaos Lightning Sword shot out from Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    God King Charflame grunted, Fire energy surging up to weaken and block the sword.


    Move... move... Origin energy surged in Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    As Zhao Feng circulated his Thought power, he focused on a single thought. He was imagining the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword moving to a different spot above God King Charflame.


    At this moment, the Realization ability activated, turning Zhao Feng''s imagination into reality!


    Swish!


    That Primal Chaos Lightning Sword impeded by countless flames suddenly vanished.


    "Eh?" God King Charflame was startled by this sight. He even began to believe that his judgment had been wrong and that Zhao Feng''s attack was so weak that it was simply wiped out.


    But a moment later, he once again felt the energy ripples from the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword.


    Kaploosh!


    In a burst of lightning, the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword appeared above him and stabbed into his head.


    "What? Why did it appear above me?" God King Charflame was flabbergasted. Such things were normally done using Space Law energy, but he didn''t sense any spatial ripples just now.


    Hisss! God King Charflame yelped in pain as he shook his head. He gave Zhao Feng a vicious glare.


    "It doesn''t seem to have done anything!" Zhao Feng was internally quite shocked.


    His Primal Chaos Lightning Sword was able to almost instantly kill ordinary Second Heavens, and even the Third Heaven Beiming Hui regarded it with dread. But even though this sword had accurately struck God King Charflame''s head, it was to seemingly little effect.


    However, in Beiming Hui''s view, Zhao Feng''s feat just now was astonishing enough. It was basically unheard of for a Second Heaven God Lord to injure a God King.


    At the same time, Beiming Hui gained an even higher opinion of the abilities of the Ninth God Eye. Not even a God King was able to notice anything.


    "Sea of Purgatory!" God King Charflame bellowed, extending his hands and unleashing his perfected Fire Law.


    The temperature shot up once more and the flames became even more frenzied. A blood-red flame began to expand outward from God King Charflame.


    Xin Wuheng, Twilight Valley, and the Black Destruction Dragon were instantly blown back several dozen li by this explosive energy, vomiting blood as they scowled.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve provoked the God King!" Beiming Hui yelled.


    God King Charflame clearly wasn''t using his full strength a moment ago, but the situation had changed.


    "So what if he''s a God King?" Zhao Feng''s expression was harsh.


    A sealed energy next to his God Altar suddenly began to shift.


    Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng waved a hand, sending dark Primal Chaos energy surging forward. The moment this energy appeared, part of the Fire energy in the region was absorbed.


    This Primal Chaos energy was the energy that the God King Remnant Will from the Heaven Mending Race legacy ground had sealed in Zhao Feng''s body.


    "This is¡­God King level Primal Chaos energy!" God King Charflame was alarmed.


    This God King level Primal Chaos energy was clearly from an ancient time and had clearly been weakened, but it was still Primal Chaos energy. After absorbing God King Fire energy, its strength began to increase.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng gathered this energy into a Primal Chaos Divine Sword and flung it forward.


    God King Charflame took this attack seriously, not daring to be careless. Waving his palms around, he gathered his flames into a blazing phoenix.


    "Explode!" Zhao Feng suddenly shouted.


    If God King Charflame was prepared for it, he would probably be capable of blocking this Primal Chaos Divine Sword. Since that was the case, it was better to just detonate the energy.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Primal Chaos Divine Sword that was approaching God King Charflame suddenly exploded. Dark and twisted energy radiated from the blast, devouring everything in the vicinity.


    In the face of this sudden burst of Primal Chaos energy, God King Charflame''s blazing phoenix gradually crumbled away while the energy in his body was thrown into disarray, forcing God King Charflame to back up several steps.


    "Kid, you dare-?" God King Charflame turned furious. Being injured by a Second Heaven God Lord was a disgrace that he would carry for the rest of his life. But he only got halfway through his sentence when his expression sank.


    On the other side, Xin Wuheng and the others were shocked beyond compare.


    "How could Zhao Feng have God King level Primal Chaos energy?" Beiming Hui''s mind was reeling. If Zhao Feng had used this energy from the very beginning, he would already be dead.

    Chapter 1520 - Pseudo Ancestral Artifact


    "How could Zhao Feng have God King level Primal Chaos energy?" Beiming Hui''s mind was reeling. If Zhao Feng had used this energy from the very beginning, he would already be dead.


    But even so, Zhao Feng''s group still found it very difficult to push back God King Charflame. There was definitely a limit to the God King level energy within Zhao Feng''s body. Over the long term, they would still lose.


    But at this moment, Beiming Hui sensed something and smiled. The Protector is finally here!


    In the distance, God King Charflame was grim and silent.


    "Something... isn''t right!" Zhao Feng sensed the oddness in the air, and at the same time, his left eye twitched.


    Suddenly, a vast and heaven-shaking pressure descended. The region trembled, and Zhao Feng''s group sunk down as if they had been struck by a massive hammer.


    "Watch out!" Zhao Feng called out as he prepared to leave.


    But at this moment, an imposing elder appeared behind them. His body was stooped and his skin as tough and gnarly as the bark of a thousand-year-old tree, covered in countless special and ancient patterns. It was none other than the Heaven Defying Faction''s Protector.


    The moment the Protector appeared, he waved his hand, unleashing a fan of silver energy.


    Boom! Bang!


    Caught off guard, Zhao Feng''s party was caught up in the Protector''s sudden attack. They hastily used their defensive arts, but the silver light pushed through their defenses like they were made of paper.


    Plush!


    All of them were sent flying several dozen li, vomiting blood as their faces turned ghastly pale.


    Fortunately, the Protector only abruptly lashed out and had not built up power especially for this strike, or else their lives would have been in danger.


    Whoosh!


    With a slight turn of the Protector''s hand, space seemed to freeze. Movement became exceptionally slow and arduous.


    At this moment, the blood that Zhao Feng had just vomited congealed into a bloody pearl and flew into the Protector''s hand.


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Race Protector!" Zhao Feng''s expression darkened.


    With two God Kings present and Zhao Feng''s group heavily injured, it was basically impossible to resist. Moreover,


    Zhao Feng sensed that the Heaven''s Legacy Race Protector was much stronger than ordinary God Kings.


    As for why the Protector had taken some of his blood, he didn''t have time to think about such things.


    "Protector, thank goodness you promptly arrived!" Beiming Hui instantly smiled. He found the sensation of his life being under the control of another God King very unpleasant.


    "Divine Emissary Beiming, where are the others?" The Protector slowly asked, his expression indifferent.


    Beiming Hui''s face instantly froze and his heart began to tremble. But he did not dare to lie in front of the Protector. "Divine Emissary Chang and the three Palace Kings were all killed by Zhao Feng''s party!"


    "A bunch of good-for-nothings!" The Protector''s voice chilled.


    They clearly only needed to delay the Ninth God Eye, but Beiming Hui''s group had suffered such terrible losses and almost allowed Zhao Feng to escape.


    Beiming Hui immediately dropped to the ground and got down on one knee. "Protector, please forgive me!"


    "Sir is looking down on this old man too much!" God King Charflame suddenly said in displeasure.


    The moment the Protector appeared, he began to scold his subordinate as if God King Charflame didn''t exist. This left God King Charflame feeling rather humiliated.


    But the Protector''s next words almost made God King Charflame vomit blood.


    "I truly am looking down on you," the Protector coldly said.


    "The Heaven''s Legacy Race is getting too arrogant! This happens to be the territory of the Purgatory Sacred Land!" God King Charflame was infuriated and put aside all courtesy as he bellowed.


    At this moment, several powerful pulses of energy came from the distance, and a few moments later, several God Lords arrived. There were two Third Heavens and four Second Heavens in this group, all of them upper echelon God Lords of the Purgatory Sacred Land.


    "In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, strength decides everything!" the Protector responded with equal measure.


    Not long after the Purgatory Sacred Land''s experts arrived, a white-robed Divine Emissary of the Heaven Defying Faction together with three Palace Kings appeared.


    For the Heaven''s Legacy Race to send such a force to capture Zhao Yufei, one could see how much importance it placed on Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng.


    The forces on both sides got stronger and stronger. At this point, even if every member of Zhao Feng''s group was at peak condition, they would have been outmatched by either side.


    But this did not mean that there was no chance of a turnaround. The Purgatory Sacred Land and the Heaven Defying Faction both wanted the Ninth God Eye. As this was the territory of the Purgatory Sacred Land, the Sacred Land clearly had more forces. Moreover, Zhao Feng''s group had just been heavily injured by the Protector, so they were so weak that the other two parties had begun to ignore them.


    "You''re sure that you want to fight over the Ninth God Eye with me?" God King Charflame asked with a smile.


    This place was the territory of the Purgatory Sacred Land. With his order, more and more experts would converge on this place.


    "Fight? You''re no match for me and don''t have the right to fight with me." The Protector was as calm as ever.


    "Haha, let me see just how strong the experts of the Heaven''s Legacy Race are!" God King Charflame heartily laughed.


    He just finished speaking when boundless flames began to gather around him. God King Charflame became like a blazing sun, radiating dazzling red light. And as more energy gathered around him, the temperature rapidly climbed. The nearby God Lords began to find it difficult to breathe. The entire region was aflame, space itself on the verge of melting.


    God King Charflame held nothing back against this God King expert of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, even using the strongest power available to him.


    Zhao Feng''s group immediately fell back some distance.


    "Is that all?" The Protector remained unperturbed.


    Swish!


    With a wave of his hand, he revealed a golden-red feather fan. The feather fan was formed from many layers of feathers, all of them exuding scorching and blinding flames.


    The moment the fan appeared, the blood-red flames retreated and weakened. The Fire energy that was gathered around God King Charflame somewhat dimmed. Instead, Fire energy began to gather around the feather fan, causing the flames to burn brighter and brighter. The frightening image of a Golden Crow began to manifest.


    "Could this be... the Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell?!" God King Charflame''s eyes went slack as his heart began to madly thump.


    The supreme Ancestral Artifact of the Fire Laws, Blazing Hell! This was a treasure that all Fire Law cultivators could only dream about.


    However, this Ancestral Artifact had been shattered in the Ancient Era.


    "Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell?" Zhao Feng was stunned.


    The pressure exuded by this feather fan caused his three Ancestral Artifact fragments to tremble.


    Whoosh!


    The Protector poured Divine Power into the fan. The flames radiating from the fan instantly swelled to a hundred times their original size, creating a fan of flames that blocked out the sky.


    Boom!


    The Protector swung the fan, sending a Golden Crow howling out from it. All the flames in the world were instantly pulled toward it, fueling its power.


    God King Charflame sensed that he lost control over this region of the world, even the flames he released being weakened to a certain extent.


    "No... this can''t be Blazing Hell!" God King Charflame cried out. Swish!


    A golden-red feather appeared in his hand. This was none other than a fragment of Blazing Hell.


    God King Charflame had to use his full power to deal with the Protector''s attack. He activated the Ancestral Artifact fragment and unleashed a dazzling red sun.


    Boom! Bang!


    The golden crow heedlessly crashed into the dazzling sun, sending a firestorm sweeping through the world. "Retreat!"


    "Hurry and retreat!"


    All the experts besides the two God Kings fell back.


    Several Second Heaven God Lords near God King Charflame failed to retreat in time and were set aflame.


    Zhao Feng''s group was rather far from the battlefield, but they still felt their bodies, blood, and even Divine Power burning under the heat of the firestorm.


    Zhao Feng immediately activated his left eye and peered into the center of the battlefield. The Golden Crow had tom the blood-red sun in half and was lunging toward God King Charflame, but the Golden Crow had dimmed somewhat, clearly weakened.


    "Red Sun Barrier!" God King Charflame used his defensive secret art.


    The boundless flames around his body gathered into a sphere of fire that guarded him.


    Boom! Bang!


    As the Golden Crow struck, God King Charflame was thrown backward, a clear Crack! coming from his defensive barrier.


    God King Charflame quickly stabilized himself and, much worse for the wear, glared at the Protector.


    "That is not a real Ancestral Artifact, but a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact!" God King Charflame firmly declared.


    He himself had a fragment of Blazing Hell, so he was sure that the Blazing Hell held by the Protector was not real, but a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact reforged using the majority of Blazing Hell''s Ancestral Artifact fragments.


    A God King with a real Ancestral Artifact could be called a God. The Protector was clearly not at this level, but even so, the power of the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact was extremely close to the real deal and was not something God King Charflame could fight against.


    Even though the Protector was not skilled in the Fire Laws, he was still able to defeat God King Charflame with the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. If the Protector was a master of a Fire Law, God King Charflame would have been in a much worse state.


    "It truly is a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact!" Twilight Valley muttered.


    Zhao Feng was startled. Such powerful energy, but it was still only a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact?


    At the same time, he recalled that God Lord Heavenly Solitude, who had possessed a fragment of Blazing Hell, had not used it in their battle. It was now apparent that the Heaven''s Legacy Race had taken all the Ancestral Artifact fragment they had and reforged them into this Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    "Correct." The Protector nodded as the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact vanished from his hand.


    A look of hesitation appeared on God King Charflame''s face. Even though this wasn''t the real Blazing Hell, he still had a deep desire for the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. He craved this object even more than the Ninth God Eye. After all, a fusion with a God Eye was not guaranteed to succeed, while there was no such problem with the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. Once he obtained it, he could just refine it.


    However, God King Charflame also knew that he was no match for the Protector of the Heaven Defying Faction, and there was no chance of him obtaining the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    God King Charflame and the God Lords of the Purgatory Sacred Land slowly retreated. They had withdrawn from the battle for the Ninth God Eye.


    "Zhao Feng, we meet again. This time, once you return to the Divine Kingdom, don''t even think about leaving!" The Protector turned to Zhao Feng and gave a frightening smile.

 1521 The Divine Punishment God Eye

    Chapter 1521 - The Divine Punishment God Eye


    "Zhao Feng, we meet again. This time, once you return to the Divine Kingdom, don''t even think about leaving!" The Protector turned to Zhao Feng and gave a frightening smile.


    Twilight Valley and Xin Wuheng felt their hearts tremble. The Protector''s goal was to capture only Zhao Feng. As for everyone else, they would probably be killed.


    As the Protector came over, even Zhao Feng began to panic. If this was an ordinary God King, he might have been able to fight back if he unleashed all his reserves, but the Protector was no ordinary God King, and he even had a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. A single casual strike would be enough to obliterate everyone.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll make a deal with you. If you are willing to cooperate in handing over the Ninth God Eye, I can spare the others." At this moment, the Protector chuckled and made a proposal.


    The faces of Zhao Feng''s group went stiff. No one had expected for the Protector to make such a proposal at this time.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race Protector is truly a crafty fox! Zhao Feng inwardly cursed. He truly found it difficult to make a choice.


    "Oh, I forgot to say, the Heaven Lord has ordered me to first cripple your cultivation. You had better think carefully...." the Protector added, flashing an evil smile.


    The Protector was obviously implying that if Zhao Feng agreed to the proposal, he would not have to have his cultivation crippled.


    At the God Lord level, one could be considered a ruling expert of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Having one''s cultivation destroyed and being forced to start from the beginning was a fate cruder than death. In addition, Zhao Feng had been thinking that, even if he was captured again, he could use Thought Teleportation to leave, but if his cultivation was destroyed, his success would not be guaranteed.


    But these matters were for later. Zhao Feng was still faced with a difficult choice.


    Suddenly, another heavy energy descended upon the world.


    "None of you can touch him!" a deep and resounding voice boomed, causing even space itself to tremble.


    The dark clouds scattered, and the flames were extinguished. The energies exuded by the two God Kings were instantly suppressed by this mysterious newcomer.


    "This energy... could it be him?" The Protector''s face darkened, his eyes becoming uncertain.


    In the distance, God King Charflame and his forces were also extremely gloomy.


    "Could... could this be a God?" God King Charflame''s eyes went wide as he scanned the area. The Heaven''s Legacy Race Protector had few enemies among the God King level. Only the Gods could outmatch this expert of the Heaven Defying Faction.


    "What''s going on?" Zhao Feng was also startled. Had an even more formidable expert appeared to seize the Ninth God Eye?


    Swish!


    Suddenly a straight-backed and imposing man wearing robes of gold and white appeared in the sky. His body radiated dazzling white lightning, imbuing him with an aura of boundless divinity. When anyone met his gaze, their minds were instantly struck by an invisible attack. Past crimes and evil deeds emerged in their hearts, causing them to become ashamed and timid.


    The world fell silent as if all things were bowing in submission to this man.


    Is this the Divine Punishment power of the Divine Punishment God Eye? The Protector inwardly sighed.


    Under the power of Divine Punishment, no evil in the world could hide. Everyone had committed wrongs in their life; thus, everyone was affected to a certain extent by the Divine Punishment God Eye.


    "I didn''t think it would be the Divine Punishment God!" God King Charflame bowed low, his mind reeling in shock. He never would''ve imagined that today''s events would attract one of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    "God Eye!" Zhao Feng felt an incredibly familiar energy from this middle-aged man.


    But God Eye Deities already had God Eyes. What did they need the Ninth God Eye for?


    "People of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, leave," the Divine Punishment God calmly spoke, stating an order that had to be carried out.


    "I did not think that the Divine Punishment God would personally come. Since that''s the case, let us leave." The Protector sighed, his attitude rather calm.


    "What?" Beiming Hui was stunned, discontent and gloom sweeping through his mind. He never would''ve imagined that they would still be unable to obtain the Ninth God Eye.


    But since a God Eye Deity had intervened, there was nothing to be done.


    Those known as Gods were the strongest experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, far above the God Kings.


    Gods were basically immortal. Not since ancient times had there even been word of a God dying. From this, one could see just how powerful Gods were. Thus, the moment the Divine Punishment God appeared, even someone as strong as the Protector immediately chose to leave.


    "Go!" With this order, the Protector led the members of the Heaven Defying Faction away.


    Even with the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, he was still some distance away from a true God.


    And the Divine Punishment God had always carried out to the end his decisions. There was no meaning in them staying there.


    Zhao Feng''s group felt their hearts sink even more as they watched the Heaven''s Legacy Race group leave. A God Eye Deity was definitely a more powerful existence than the Protector''s group.


    You lot, come with me." Once the Heaven Defying Faction had gone, the Divine Punishment God turned to Zhao Feng''s group.


    "To where?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "Back to Yu Tianwu''s place."


    The Divine Punishment God''s answer left everyone dumbfounded. It turned out that this God was not an enemy, but someone who had come to save them. Although they didn''t know the reason, just escaping danger was enough for them.


    "Let''s go!" With a wave of the Divine Punishment God''s hand, Zhao Feng''s party vanished.


    The only people left were the group from the Purgatory Sacred Land.


    "Haaa..." God King Charflame sorrowfully sighed.


    Two major characters had appeared in the Purgatory Sacred Land''s lands that he could not afford to offend. He had truly lost any dignity he had to speak of.


    The Qianshan Zone, the secret base of the Sage Faction:


    Swish!


    Lightning filled the skies as a group of people suddenly emerged.


    They all had looks of pleasant surprise. They initially didn''t believe that the Divine Punishment God would really bring them back.


    The group went to the top floor of that six-sided tower.


    "Tianwu, I''ve brought them back," the Divine Punishment God casually said.


    "I''ve troubled you." Yu Tianwu smiled.


    These two appeared to share a relationship deeper than mere acquaintances.


    At this moment, everyone understood that Yu Tianwu had requested the Divine Punishment God''s help. As it turned out, Yu Tianwu had already prepared for the worst outcome; just when it seemed like they were about to fail, the Divine Punishment God arrived to save them.


    "I owe you a favor after all, but I''ve repaid it now," the Divine Punishment God firmly declared.


    Everyone in the world had questions, and Gods were no different. He had once asked Yu Tianwu a few questions in exchange for a favor.


    "Senior, my utmost gratitude for the rescue!" Zhao Feng, Twilight Valley, and Xin Wuheng immediately said.


    They were previously unsure why this God they didn''t know had saved them. Only now that they knew the reason did they offer their thanks.


    "Don''t be in such a rush to repay the favor! I was planning to ask you to help me with something else." Yu Tianwu suddenly chuckled.


    "Is it for the Ninth God Eye?" The Divine Punishment God''s gaze settled on Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng was examining the Divine Punishment God''s God Eye. This pair of eyes seemed to crackle with endless white lightning, and just looking at them would cause countless feelings of guilt to appear in one''s mind. Moreover, one would take oneself to be triflingly insignificant while this would become a vast and imposing mountain.


    You''re not interested in the Ninth God Eye? He''s also a member of the God Eyes." Yu Tianwu grinned.


    "A member of the God Eyes, hm?" The Divine Punishment God carefully examined Zhao Feng.


    Of the Eight Great God Eyes, only one or two had ever believed in the existence of the Ninth God Eye. Although the Divine Punishment God sensed an extremely familiar aura from Zhao Feng, he had another strange feeling....


    "Okay! Then I''ll stay with you for a spell," the Divine Punishment God suddenly said.


    The Divine Punishment God could guess what sort of assistance Yu Tianwu desired. It was merely assisting Zhao Feng in improving his strength and cultivation. As they were both God Eyes, the Divine Punishment God could give more to Zhao Feng than he could to others.


    The Divine Punishment God had agreed partially to return his favor to Yu Tianwu, but it was also in part for the sake of the Ninth God Eye.


    As the owner of the Divine Punishment God Eye, he did not need another God Eye. But any God Eye would one day become a God, and there was no need to elaborate further on the status of a God in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    There were Eight Great God Eyes in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but they had their fair share of grudges between each other. The Eight Great God Eyes were currently divided into essentially two camps; on one side was the Life God Eye, Divine Punishment God Eye, and Spacetime God Eye. On the other side was the Death God Eye, Samsara God Eye, and Destruction God Eye.


    The Myriad Forms God Eye and Destiny God Eye belonged to neither faction. Both sides had tried to recruit these two God Eyes, but they were rather difficult to find, particularly the Destiny God Eye.


    If the Divine Punishment God formed a good relationship with Zhao Feng here and recruited him, then once Zhao Feng became a God, he would increase the overall strength of his faction.


    After a short while, everyone dispersed.


    Zhao Feng moved Zhao Yufei out of his Divine Kingdom.


    "Brother Feng, are we safe now?"


    Zhao Yufei wasn''t very comfortable in the Divine Kingdom. After all, she knew that Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng were facing some unknown danger outside.


    "This place is the base of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Sage Faction. We''re extremely safe here," Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    This place was protected by Destiny energy, making it very difficult for the Heaven Defying Faction to find this place. And besides that, the Divine Punishment God was here as well.


    At the same time, the Protector led his party back to the Heaven Defying Faction''s Divine Kingdom.


    The Heaven Lord had been waiting at the summit of the central island this entire time.


    "Left Protector, I didn''t think that even you would fail!" The Heaven Lord had a look of surprise on his face as he sighed.


    It had been a very long time since they had tasted consecutive failures, and this all happened after the appearance of the Ninth God Eye.


    The Heaven Lord did not appear to be blaming the Protector, as he understood just how strong the Protector was. If even the Protector failed, it probably meant that he had run into a God expert.


    The Divine Punishment God appeared." The Protector slightly shook his head.


    The Eight Great God Eyes, hm?" The Heaven Lord''s face darkened with anger.


    "However, I obtained some of Zhao Feng''s blood. Perhaps it can be useful." The Protector turned over his hand, revealing a glass tube with a bead of blood inside.


    The Ninth God Eye imperceptibly altered Zhao Feng''s soul and flesh. Perhaps a secret connected to the Ninth God Eye lies within...." The Heaven Lord''s eyes flashed with sharp light.

 1522 The Guidance of a God

    Chapter 1522 - The Guidance of a God


    After moving Zhao Yufei out of the Dream Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng explained the reason for the incident. The Heaven Defying Faction had only moved against Zhao Yufei to force Zhao Feng out. It was only right that she knew.


    Zhao Feng was also frank with regards to Liu Qinxin. After all, they were both in the secret base of the Sage Faction, so they would eventually run into each other.


    "What? Liu Qinxin...?" Zhao Yufei''s face froze, caught off guard by this news.


    She naturally recognized this name. This was Zhao Feng''s fiancee. However, Zhao Yufei had never imagined that his name would show up again, and that Liu Qinxin herself would be in this place.


    "She''s currently with the Sage Faction, and she played no small part in this mission," Zhao Feng continued.


    If not for the Sage Faction''s Destiny energy, they would have never been able to find Zhao Yufei first, and the Heaven Defying Faction would have ended up capturing her. And if this happened, Zhao Yufei would have definitely been taken to the Heaven Defying Faction''s Divine Kingdom, at which point not even the Divine Punishment God might have been able to rescue her. Besides, the Divine Punishment God had only been returning a favor he owed to Yu Tianwu. He had no need to directly clash with the powerful Heaven Defying Faction even if he could.


    "Liu Qinxin, for my sake, she..." Zhao Yufei''s eyes widened in confusion. She hadn''t expected for Liu Qinxin to actually offer assistance in saving her life.


    This time, Zhao Feng, the Light Race, the Giant God Race, the Sage Faction, and Liu Qinxin had done everything in their power to save her life. The thought made Zhao Yufei feel rather ashamed.


    At this moment, a white-robed woman slowly walked over.


    "It''s wonderful that you''re okay!" Liu Qinxin looked at Zhao Yufei and said.


    The two of them had met before at the Sacred True Dragon Gathering in the Azure Flower Continent.


    "Thank you for helping me!" In the end, this person had assisted in saving her, so Zhao Yufei spoke with sincere gratitude.


    Zhao Feng stood to the side, extremely uneasy. In his view, it was already rather surprising that the two hadn''t started to argue. After all, because of Liu Qinxin, Zhao Yufei had once split away from the group for a period of time.


    "Sister Yufei, you''ve just arrived, so I''ve come to see if there''s anything you need." Liu Qinxin gently smiled.


    Zhao Yufei was caught by surprise. After glancing at Zhao Feng, she spoke with a very complicated expression on her face, "I don''t need anything right now. Thank you for your concern." Zhao Yufei could see that Zhao Feng was also struggling over a great dilemma.


    Zhao Feng had probably only reconnected with Liu Qinxin recently. In comparison, Zhao Feng had come to know Zhao Yufei much earlier, and they had spent much more time together. She was unwilling to allow another person to share the space in Zhao Feng''s heart.


    But Zhao Yufei wanted to fight for this space herself, not throw the problem to Zhao Feng and make him wrack his mind over what choice to make. Thus, Zhao Yufei decided to face everything directly.


    On the side, Zhao Feng was shocked. Zhao Yufei and Liu Qinxin were both speaking very calmly, and there was no hint of argument in the air. This completely upset Zhao Feng''s expectations. Zhao Feng even wondered if these two women didn''t like him as much anymore and so no longer cared about their past differences.


    Of course, he quickly ruled out that idea.


    At this moment, a deep and resounding voice echoed through Zhao Feng''s residence: "Zhao Feng, come to me!"


    Yufei, the Divine Punishment God is looking for me. I''ll take my leave now." Zhao Feng was a little excited. The Divine Punishment God was already looking for him.


    Based on the conversation between the Divine Punishment God and Yu Tianwu, Zhao Feng was sure that the Divine Punishment God had remained here for his sake.


    Zhao Feng quickly arrived at the Divine Punishment God''s residence.


    "Paying respects to Senior Divine Punishment!" Zhao Feng bowed.


    "Mm! If you want me to instruct you, you must frankly answer the questions I ask you," the Divine Punishment God spoke bluntly and firmly.


    Zhao Feng was taken aback. The God''s Spiritual Eye was his greatest secret, and keeping it secret had already become a habit. But the Divine Punishment God had a God Eye of his own and also displayed no desire for the Ninth God Eye despite knowing his true identity.


    In the end, Zhao Feng nodded. After all, he needed to rely on the Divine Punishment God to increase his strength as quickly as possible. Obtaining the guidance of a God was something that many people could only dream about.


    "What is the ability of your Ninth God Eye?" the Divine Punishment God directly asked. Each of the Eight Great God Eyes had their own absolute domain. The Ninth God Eye was probably no different.


    "It should be the Soul Dao and Dream Dao..." Upon being suddenly asked this question, not even Zhao Feng was sure of the answer.


    The Divine Punishment God was rather astonished. Even though he was the Ninth God Eye, Zhao Feng apparently wasn''t fully aware of his God Eye''s abilities.


    But with the Soul Dao and Dream Dao that Zhao Feng mentioned, the Divine Punishment God had a rough understanding of the Ninth God Eye''s abilities.


    "I am no expert in these aspects." The Divine Punishment God slightly shook his head. It was obvious that he was not the right teacher for Zhao Feng. A God King skilled in the Soul Dao or Dream Dao would be better suited.


    But Yu Tianwu wouldn''t do anything so foolish. The Divine Punishment God carefully examined Zhao Feng and revealed a hint of surprise. He sensed an energy that he was more intimate with on Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Senior''s Divine Punishment energy should have some connection to Tribulation Lightning energy. Besides the Soul Dao, this junior also cultivates the Lightning Dao..." Zhao Feng noticed the Divine Punishment God''s confusion and spoke up.


    Crack! Pop!


    At the same time, he had his Lightning Soul Body release Tribulation Lightning energy.


    "A unique Lightning Soul Body! Not bad." The Divine Punishment God nodded.


    Tribulation Lightning energy could be considered a part of Divine Punishment energy. Although it was not as powerful as Divine Punishment, it was extremely powerful when it came to pure offensive might.


    As the Divine Punishment God, he could not only instruct Zhao Feng on how to use his God Eye, but he could also increase Zhao Feng¡¯s proficiency with Tribulation Lightning energy. This truly did make him a suitable te^


    Feng.


    "Okay! For the time being, you will cultivate at my place!" the Divine Punishment God firmly said.


    Zhao Feng nodded. He was the Ninth God Eye, but he lacked sufficient strength, so he had to worry about others desiring the Ninth God Eye. Thus, Zhao Feng ardently desired to increase his own power.


    "I have with me a Paramount Scripture called the Tribulation Lightning Sacred Scripture. I will perform it for you. What you can comprehend depends entirely on your ability." The Divine Punishment God stood up and took Zhao Feng into his Divine Kingdom with a wave of his hand.


    This Divine Kingdom was bathed in sunlight and bursting with life. There were no clouds in the sky, only crackling arcs of white-gold lightning.


    "Watch closely!" the Divine Punishment God suddenly called out.


    Zhao Feng immediately focused, even activating his Dream God Eye. He hadn''t expected for the Divine Punishment God to start right away by showing skills from a Paramount Scripture. Perhaps he simply didn''t care about such things, but for those experts below the God King level, Paramount Scriptures were priceless treasures.


    The Divine Punishment God''s proficiency in Divine Punishment energy was unparalleled in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. As Tribulation Lightning energy was a part of Divine Punishment energy, the Divine Punishment God had an understanding of it that almost no one could match.


    Crack! Pop!


    The white-gold flashes of lightning in the sky slowly transformed into Tribulation Lightning energy. It was the same Tribulation Lightning energy, but the Tribulation Lightning energy controlled by the Divine Punishment God was much stronger than Zhao Feng''s.


    Zhao Feng activated his left eye and observed.


    Hisss! Kacrack!


    Although the Divine Punishment God was standing still, the Tribulation Lightning energy around him was madly surging, shifting into various shapes as if they were trying to reveal to Zhao Feng the mysterious principles governing the universe. Zhao Feng felt like even the rhythm of the thunder and lightning contained countless pieces of information, so much that there was no time to take it all in.


    Once he comprehended some of the contents, they would imprint on his soul, transforming into a principle that he could comprehend but not transmit to others through words.


    Gradually, the Tribulation Lightning energy calmed down.


    "Cultivate here. After two months, I will come to see how you have done." After saying this, the Divine Punishment God left the Divine Kingdom.


    But for Zhao Feng, this was an extremely generous instruction session from the Divine Punishment God.


    The vast amounts of pure Tribulation Lightning energy that still filled the world had been left here by the Divine Punishment God for Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged on the ground. The partial contents of the Tribulation Lightning Sacred Scripture emerged in his mind, and he began to cultivate.


    Cultivating Tribulation Lightning energy was of enormous benefit to his Lightning Soul Body. Moreover, Zhao Feng''s Soul eye-bloodline techniques were connected to his Tribulation Lightning energy, and his Tribulation Lightning energy could also be fused with Primal Chaos energy. Strengthening his Tribulation Lightning energy would be an enormous boost to Zhao Feng''s overall strength.


    As he had to show his progress in two months, Zhao Feng entirely focused on the Tribulation Lightning Sacred Scripture.


    Two months later, the quality of Zhao Feng''s Tribulation Lightning energy had received a significant boost, and he had also reached a new level in his proficiency. Swish!


    The Divine Punishment God suddenly appeared. "Begin," the Divine Punishment God calmly said. Swish!


    Zhao Feng immediately circulated his Tribulation Lightning energy and Primal Chaos energy, and a moment later, he had created a Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    At the beginning, Zhao Feng would have to create the Primal Chaos Divine Sword first before infusing it with Tribulation Lightning energy, but now, Zhao Feng could instantly create one.


    Swish!


    A moment later, the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword divided into a Primal Chaos Sword and a Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    "Not bad! You even cultivate Primal Chaos energy?" The Divine Punishment God had a somewhat higher opinion of Zhao Feng now. It seemed like he had truly underestimated the Ninth God Eye. Zhao Feng not only had the power of the God Eye, but also other formidable energies.


    Now that the Divine Punishment God had approved of Zhao Feng, he began to instruct Zhao Feng with even greater focus and attention. The Divine Punishment God not only instructed him in Tribulation Lightning energy, but also in how to improve one''s cultivation and about God Eyes.


    Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Other than cultivating with the Divine Punishment God, Zhao Feng would occasionally make some time to go and visit Xin Wuheng, Zhao Yufei, and Liu Qinxin.


    While Zhao Feng spent this time primarily focused on cultivation, the unexpected occurred. He realized that Zhao Yufei and Liu Qinxin seemed to be getting closer and their relationship was not as frosty as he had imagined. Perhaps it was because the two of them were from the Azure Flower Continent. Zhao Yufei did not have many acquaintances here, and they were both girls, so maybe it was natural that they became closer.


    In the central six-sided tower, an extremely senior sage stood in the center of the floor. Yu Tianwu was seated high above.


    "Lord Tianwu, the Heaven Defying Faction has made a major move!" the black-robed sage reported.


    "Oh? What have they done?" Yu Tianwu''s eyes gleamed.


    "They conquered the Chixing Zone''s Illusion God Sacred Land!" the black-robed sage immediately replied.


    In conquering a Sacred Land, the Heaven Defying Faction had truly made a great show of its power.


    This matter had naturally attracted the attention of the other Sacred Lands, but the Heaven Defying Faction''s stated reason for fighting was that the God Lords of the Illusion God Sacred Land had previously killed a God Lord of the Heaven Defying Faction. Since negotiations had come to nothing, it chose to start a war.


    The reason was ample and the evidence was firm. The other factions found it difficult to object to the actions of the Heaven Defying Faction.


    "It seems that they''re about to start their plan." Yu Tianwu closed his eyes in thought for some time before finally sighing.

 1523 Peak Second Heaven

    Chapter 1523 - Peak Second Heaven


    Within the Divine Punishment God''s Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng sat cross-legged within a Tribulation Lightning Domain.


    At this moment, he had his soul body out to experience and absorb the powerful Tribulation Lightning energy around it. Under the long-term tempering of the Tribulation Lightning energy, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent reached the peak of the Second Heaven, only a step away from the Third Heaven.


    Zhao Feng had also made immense progress in his Lightning Law and was on the verge of reaching early-stage comprehension.


    Zhao Feng had also reached a whole new level in his Tribulation Lightning eye-bloodline techniques and in his ability to fuse Primal Chaos energy with Tribulation Lightning energy.


    In summary, Zhao Feng''s overall strength had significantly increased. If he encountered Beiming Hui again, he was confident that he would be able to quickly defeat and kill him.


    It was difficult to imagine that, in just a few short years, Zhao Feng had made so much progress as a God Lord. All of this was thanks to the Divine Punishment God.


    Of course, Zhao Feng was not the only one progressing. Within the Dream Divine Kingdom, the Black Destruction Dragon, his clones, and the ancient beasts had also gotten much stronger.


    Zhao Feng had killed one Divine Emissary and several Palace Kings, and he distributed the spoils from this battle according to the level of achievement his subordinates had reached. Many of the precious resources Zhao Feng obtained had been passed on to his subordinates.


    Zhao Feng had also taken some of the precious resources and God Lord Tyrant Dragon''s Ancestral Artifact fragment to the Black Destruction Dragon.


    The Light Race and Giant God Race were anxious to get stronger very quickly. They had a greater need of resources and had little use for an Ancestral Artifact fragment with a Destruction Law, so they let Zhao Feng have it.


    These resources and the Ancestral Artifact fragment had allowed to Black Destruction Dragon to smoothly break into the Second Heaven, enormously boosting its strength.


    Meanwhile, his clones were greatly strengthened through the many resources available to them and the secret dimensions and installations of the Sage Faction. The owner of the Eye of Samsara, Zhao Hui, had broken into the God Lord level. The other clones were at the peak of the First Heaven and were extremely close to reaching the Second Heaven.


    Zhao Yufei also hadn''t been slacking off, and she spent the majority of her time in cultivation. Even though she had only recently broken into the God Lord level, she needed very little time to stabilize her foundations. Zhao Yufei had a legacy of the God Martial Race, and with so many experts here to guide her, she progressed very smoothly, her strength advancing by leaps and bounds.


    There was also Giant God Hall. Giant God Hall had reestablished itself here. In this ideal cultivation environment, its overall strength had swelled. The Grand Elder, who had reached peak First Heaven long ago, under the guidance of the Sage Faction''s upper echelon members, had broken into the Second Heaven.


    But what excited Giant God Hall the most was that Hall Master Xin Wuheng had broken into the Third Heaven!


    One day, Zhao Feng left the Divine Punishment God''s Divine Kingdom to exchange some pointers with Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley.


    In his time at the Sage Faction, Zhao Feng would often find these two to exchange pointers. During these training bouts, he would not use the abilities of the Ninth God Eye.


    At the beginning, Zhao Feng lost once. After all, Twilight Valley was abnormally strong, and when he used his full power and had Xin Wuheng''s help, Zhao Feng would find it hard to win without using the Ninth God Eye. But the second time, Zhao Feng reversed the situation, and ever since then, he had not lost once.


    "Come," Twilight Valley calmly said.


    "Brother Zhao, we won''t let you win so easily this time!" Xin Wuheng faintly smiled.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng smiled as well. Turning over his head, he gathered Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy, instantly fusing them into a Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    On the other side, Twilight Valley and Xin Wuheng turned grim. They activated the full power of their bloodlines and prepared to use all their strength.


    An outsider who saw this would certainly find this absurd. Third Heaven experts of the Light Race and Giant God Race were actually using all their power against a single Second Heaven.


    Thwish!


    Twilight Valley transformed into an ethereal streak of light as he shot toward Zhao Feng. With a wave of his palm, he released one Time energy blade after another, and they came so ceaselessly that they seemed like sunlight reflected off the surface of a lake.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes turned stern as he stabbed forward his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Boom! Bang!


    The entire world trembled under this frightening explosion. With one thrust of Zhao Feng''s sword, he succeeded in completely destroying a portion of the Time energy blades.


    But even more Time blades were howling at him from other angles. A single Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword would not be enough to fend them all off.


    Crack! Pop!


    At this moment, lightning erupted from the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword. This lightning spread out from the sword and formed a net of lightning. From a distance, it appeared that Zhao Feng was not holding a sword, but an umbrella.


    This was a result of Zhao Feng''s cultivation; he could have the Tribulation Lightning energy attached to the Primal Chaos Divine Sword undergo various transformations.


    With the Tribulation Lightning energy spread out into a net, his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword now had a much larger attack range.


    Boom! Hisss!


    By waving around the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword now, he was able to instantly obliterate the blades of Time energy. A few moments later, Zhao Feng had cleared the air of these Time blades.


    At this moment, Xin Wuheng suddenly attacked. Boundless weight suddenly enveloped Zhao Feng. At the same time, Xin Wuheng gathered up his bloodline energy and Divine Power and thrust out his fingers again and again, releasing several swift bolts of energy at Zhao Feng.


    Hwoooo!


    In response, Zhao Feng waved the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword, releasing bolts of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy. With the God''s Spiritual Eye''s observation ability, he was able to accurately strike each of Xin Wuheng''s attacks with a corresponding sword bolt.


    Boom! Bang!


    The furious explosion forced Xin Wuheng to take several steps back.


    What a powerful energy! Xin Wuheng was taken aback.


    He had reached the Third Heaven, but in terms of Divine Power attacks, he was still far inferior to Zhao Feng.


    For the rest of the battle, all the attacks Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley tried were staved off by Zhao Feng. In terms of speed, not even Twilight Valley could break free of Zhao Feng''s pursuit.


    In the end, Twilight Valley and Xin Wuheng conceded.


    "Kid, you''re getting strong too quickly!" Twilight Valley couldn''t help but sigh.


    He hadn''t expected that he, a Third Heaven of the Light Race, working together with another Third Heaven, would still have to concede to Zhao Feng. And Zhao Feng didn''t even use the Ninth God Eye.


    "I''ll leave first." Zhao Feng returned to the Divine Punishment God''s Divine Kingdom to cultivate.


    But when he arrived, he realized that the Divine Punishment God was no longer there.


    "It seems that the Divine Punishment God left." Zhao Feng emotionally sighed.


    The Divine Punishment God had already mentioned this to Zhao Feng.


    But Zhao Feng was already content with the three years of guidance he had received from a God. Besides, Zhao Feng had made enough progress with his Tribulation Lightning energy. Now that the Divine Punishment God was gone,


    Zhao Feng began to cultivate the Primal Chaos Scripture. After all, this was his primary art.


    Three years of cultivation had made Zhao Feng''s foundation extremely sturdy. He could now attempt to increase his cultivation level.


    He divided his mind into two parts. The first part was focused on cultivating techniques and comprehending the Laws. The other part studied the profound combat skills of the Primal Chaos Scripture.


    Zhao Feng had long ago become proficient with Primal Chaos Lock. It was now time to learn even more powerful Primal Chaos skills. After some filtering, Zhao Feng decided to cultivate a skill called Primal Chaos Domain.


    Once used, this skill would construct a Primal Chaos Domain. Within this domain, Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos energy would be boosted, and he would have an infinite source of energy to draw on. As for his enemies, they would find that other kinds of Divine Power would be suppressed and devoured within the domain.


    Another three years passed. Zhao Feng spent all three years immersed in cultivation.


    He had already made some progress with the Primal Chaos Domain, and his Divine Power had also smoothly reached the peak of the Second Heaven.


    "Primal Chaos Domain!" As Zhao Feng shouted, he summoned vast amounts of Primal Chaos energy from his body that fused into the world.


    A few moments later, an area for one million li around him became dark and gloomy. Primal Chaos energy began to absorb all things within this area while countless torrents of Primal Chaos energy flew through the air.


    In this place, Zhao Feng could easily summon Primal Chaos energy, giving him a major boost in power. And anyone who entered this area would be massively suppressed, their attacks constantly devoured.


    One day, Zhao Feng ended his seclusion and prepared to find Twilight Valley and Xin Wuheng so he could try out some of his new techniques, but when he ended his seclusion, he saw that Zhao Yufei was nearby and had apparently been waiting for some time.


    "Yufei, what''s wrong?" Zhao Feng inquired.


    "Earlier, when I was communicating with the upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race, I learned that the Spiritual Race has recently run into a few problems," Zhao Yufei frankly said.


    After being gone from the Spiritual Race for so long, it was very normal to get in touch. When she did, Zhao Yufei learned that the Spiritual Race had run into a major problem.


    Zhao Yufei was a member of the Spiritual Race, and from the moment she came to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, she had basically spent all her time at the Spiritual Race. The Spiritual Race had treated her well, even entrusting its future to her. Zhao Yufei felt a strong sense of belonging to the Spiritual Race.


    "I''ll go back with you to take a look," Zhao Feng immediately offered.


    "But, Brother Feng, you..." Zhao Yufei was taken aback.


    Although Zhao Feng had gotten much stronger, he had still not reached the level where he could guarantee the safety of the Ninth God Eye. And if the Heaven Defying Faction still wanted to obtain the Ninth God Eye, it would definitely have spies around the Spiritual Race.


    "There''s no need to worry." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    The Divine Punishment God had not merely instructed Zhao Feng when it came to Tribulation Lightning energy and general cultivation problems; he had also assisted in Zhao Feng in studying the abilities of the Ninth God Eye.


    In those three years of guidance from the Divine Punishment God, the abilities of the Dream God Eye had been greatly improved. For example, Dreamification now had a much larger range, greater effect, and lower cost. The Realization ability had also become even more unreasonable.


    In the past, Dreamification was only effective on smaller objects, but after that period of study and training, Dreamification could now successfully target an object as large as an ordinary room.


    There was also Thought Teleportation. Now, Zhao Feng no longer needed to fall asleep. He just needed to create a Dream Dimension to use the ability. This cut down severely on the time needed for Thought Teleportation. This also meant that Zhao Feng had a much greater chance of escaping from any unknown dangers.


    Thus, even if the Heaven Defying Faction had spread its net over the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng was confident in his chances of escaping unharmed.


    But as this matter was rather important, Zhao Feng decided to ask the sage.


    "Zhao Feng, given the current circumstances, even this old man cannot predict too much," Yu Tianwu calmly said.


    "What happened?" Zhao Feng sensed that many things had happened while he was cultivating.


    "Three years ago, the Illusion God Sacred Land of the Chixing Zone began to war with the Heaven Defying Faction. In the end, the Illusion God Sacred Land was conquered. At present, the Heaven Defying Faction is operating freely and openly within the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods...." Yu Tianwu slowly said.


    Although the Heaven Defying Faction was more active now, it left little evidence of its activities, so it seemed like an ordinary Sacred Land faction. However, many factions knew that things were not as simple as they seemed.


    "Although this old man does not recommend that you leave, this old man has divined that the Heaven Defying Faction does not seem to have as much desire for the Ninth God Eye at present," Yu Tianwu added.


    Perhaps as Zhao Feng matured, the chances of successfully seizing the Ninth God Eye decreased, causing the Heaven Defying Faction to simply give up.

 1524 Major Change in the Spiritual Race

    Chapter 1524 - Major Change in the Spiritual Race


    "Although this old man does not recommend that you leave, this old man has divined that the Heaven Defying Faction does not seem to have as much desire for the Ninth God Eye at present," Yu Tianwu added.


    Perhaps as Zhao Feng matured, the chances of successfully seizing the Ninth God Eye decreased, causing the Heaven Defying Faction to simply give up.


    However, there was one other possibility. The Heaven Defying Faction might have simply changed its primary goal.


    "Is that so?" Zhao Feng was rather surprised.


    It was naturally great if the Heaven Defying Faction had given up on the Ninth God Eye. This meant that him leaving this time would be much less dangerous.


    "Feng, let us meet again!" Liu Qinxin bid farewell.


    "Let''s meet again, Big Sister Qinxin!" Zhao Yufei giggled.


    In her time at the Sage Faction, her relationship with Liu Qinxin had become much less awkward, and they had even developed a friendship. But in her heart, Zhao Yufei still regarded Liu Qinxin as a rival.


    After saying his goodbyes, Zhao Feng prepared to leave.


    Flying back to the Spiritual Race was naturally not an option, and even teleportation arrays would take a long time. Using Thought Teleportation would only take a moment.


    After moving Zhao Yufei to the Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and created a Dream Dimension. Zhao Feng''s residence within the Spiritual Race took form in the Dream Dimension.


    But this time, the Thought Teleportation failed. The reason was probably that Zhao Feng''s residence had been altered. Thus, Zhao Feng changed his target to the Spiritual Race''s All Spirit Hall.


    The All Spirit Hall was where the Spiritual Race stored its arts and skills. Back then, Zhao Feng had selected the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique from the highest floor of the All Spirit Hall. He was confident that such an important place would not be randomly changed.


    Just as expected:


    Swish!


    The Thought Teleportation succeeded, and Zhao Feng appeared at the top floor of the All Spirit Hall.


    The arts at the highest floor had high requirements, so the floor was currently deserted.


    Now that they were back at the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng moved Zhao Yufei out of his Divine Kingdom.


    "We''re here?" Zhao Yufei was flabbergasted. She was wondering a moment ago if Zhao Feng was moving her out because he had run into some problem.


    Zhao Yufei had also been to the highest floor of the All Spirit Hall. She truly didn''t dare to believe her own eyes as she took in her surroundings.


    "Brother Feng, how is this possible?" Zhao Yufei''s delicate and beautiful face was stricken with surprise.


    Probably anyone would be shocked if they were instantly transported back to the Spiritual Race from where they were. "A special ability of the God Eye," Zhao Feng simply explained.


    Afterward, he and Zhao Yufei took their leave of the All Spirit Hall. Of course, Zhao Feng had altered his face a little. After all, there were a lot of people in the Spiritual Race.


    As they were going down, the people on the lower floors glanced at the pair and were instantly amazed.


    "Isn''t that Zhao Yufei?" a Rank Seven Ancient God member of the Spiritual Race murmured in shock.


    Hadn''t Zhao Yufei left the Spiritual Race a long time ago to hone herself? Why had she suddenly appeared in the All Spirit Hall? In addition, who was the man next to Zhao Yufei? How was it that they had never seen him before? Was he some new lover she had found in the outside world?


    "Junior Sister Yufei, when did you get back?" A fair and handsome man slowly walked over, an eager smile on his face.


    This person was none other than Ancient God Ice Origin. He was the main force of the Spiritual Race''s team in the gambling match against the Blazing Gold Race, and later on, in the war between the two races, he and his father Ancient God Blue Distance had fled in the face of danger, causing them to become the laughingstock of the Spiritual Race.


    "I just got back. Has anything happened in the Spiritual Race recently?" Zhao Yufei had just been preparing to leave, but then she suddenly stopped and asked this question. Ancient God Ice Origin was considered a prodigy of the Spiritual Race and possessed some status. He would probably know what was going on.


    "If you''re talking about major events, there''s only one. A few days ago, the Grand Elder broke into the Second Heaven, defeated the patriarch, and took his position!" Ancient God Ice Origin immediately replied.


    "Oh? Is that so?" Zhao Yufei was rather startled.


    Even if the Grand Elder had broken into the Second Heaven, he would find it very difficult to defeat a senior Second Heaven.


    Yufei, who is this?" Ancient God Ice Origin looked at Zhao Feng with a hint of hostility.


    He couldn''t recall anyone like this in the Spiritual Race, but he appeared to be extremely close to Zhao Yufei.


    Zhao Yufei ignored the question and took Zhao Feng out of the All Spirit Hall and to the core area of the Spiritual Race.


    "Heh, Zhao Yufei, you''re no longer the proud daughter of the Spiritual Race!" Ancient God Ice Origin watched Zhao Yufei and coldly laughed in disdain.


    "Yufei, there''s something wrong," Zhao Feng messaged.


    Just now, some of the people in the All Spirit Hall had been shooting suspicious and sinister gazes at Zhao Yufei.


    "I know. I''m going to find Master!" Zhao Yufei had also noticed something strange.


    Her master was the Spiritual Race''s Third Elder and possessed an esteemed status.


    But at this moment, a slightly plump elder descended together with four half-step God Lords. These five exuded an invisible pressure that caused everyone in the area to immediately retreat in fear.


    "Welcome, Patriarch!" the Spiritual Race members called out from a distance.


    This plump elder was the Spiritual Race''s Grand Elder, though he was now its patriarch and ruled the entire Spiritual Race.


    "Grand Elder, what''s the meaning of this?" Zhao Yufei''s face chilled.


    She already knew that the Grand Elder was the Spiritual Race Patriarch, but even though she had just returned, this person personally came to meet her while radiating such obvious hostility.


    "Zhao Yufei, as a core disciple of the Spiritual Race, you went out on your own and stirred up a great disaster! Do you still not know what your crimes are?" The Grand Elder''s face darkened. Though not angry yet, he radiated immense dignity.


    The pressure of a God Lord immediately descended upon the Spiritual Race, causing everyone to fall silent in fear.


    "What sort of disaster did I stir up?" Zhao Yufei stared at the Grand Elder, realizing more and more that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.


    In the past, no matter what sort of mistake she had committed, the Spiritual Race would never blame her and would even protect her. But this time, the Spiritual Race''s Grand Elder seemed to have become abnormally harsh, even handling the interrogation himself.


    Zhao Yufei did not recall committing any sort of terrible crime.


    "Hmph, since you won''t admit your mistakes, the patriarch will personally capture you!" the Grand Elder bellowed.


    At his side, the four enforcer elders immediately moved, surrounding Zhao Yufei.


    Whoosh!


    The Grand Elder flew forward, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a vast cloud of ice shards that took the form of a massive beast.


    Zhao Yufei grunted as she soared into the air. A violet blade of energy formed in her hands and she tossed it forward. Boom! Bang! Crash!


    As the two energies clashed, the surroundings were showered in crystal shards.


    In the distance, several top-class spectating True Gods were caught up in this storm of crystal shards and were instantly slain.


    "Where is my master!?" Zhao Yufei barked.


    Ever since she had become a God Lord, Zhao Yufei had been quietly cultivating in the Sage Faction. Her strength had experienced a massive leap, and she was now a peak First Heaven.


    "Zhao Yufei, you dare to attack the Spiritual Race Patriarch!? You go against the will of the heavens by striking at your superior - a treasonous act!" The Grand Elder did not answer Zhao Yufei''s question. Instead, he once more proclaimed Zhao Yufei''s crimes.


    Swish!


    An azure saber appeared in the Grand Elder''s hand that exuded a freezing aura that caused the temperature of the entire Spiritual Race to drop several degrees.


    Zhao Feng activated his left eye. All of these things were far too abnormal. Zhao Yufei''s return had actually brought on a personal attack from the Spiritual Race''s Grand Elder?


    The Grand Elder was currently a Second Heaven. Meanwhile, Zhao Yufei had left the Spiritual Race as a Rank Nine Ancient God. This meant that the Grand Elder knew what Zhao Yufei had experienced outside. Otherwise, he would have never personally intervened.


    "This is..." As Zhao Feng focused his left eye on the Grand Elder, a look of shock appeared on his face. He instantly understood what was going on.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    In the sky, the Grand Elder and Zhao Yufei continued their fierce clash. Although Zhao Yufei''s cultivation was slightly weaker, she could proficiently use all kinds of combat skills, her ability to use them far surpassing the Grand Elder.


    The Ancient Gods watching from a distance were all shocked by this sight.


    "Zhao Yufei is actually able to go blow for blow with the Grand Elder!?" Ancient God Ice Origin trembled in fear. Fortunately, he had not done anything to Zhao Yufei, or else the consequences would have been unthinkable.


    But while Zhao Yufei was strong, she would still fall here.


    "Where is my master?" Zhao Yufei once more questioned the Grand Elder.


    The Grand Elder remained ignorant of Zhao Yufei''s repeated questions. His face exuded killing intent as he fired off one lethal attack after another.


    "Heaven Radiance Palm!" Zhao Yufei fully activated her bloodline and unleashed her Divine Power in the form of a grandiose palm.


    The energy of the world converged on this gigantic violet palm. The power of this attack swelled from peak First Heaven into the Second Heaven level.


    "Azure Clouds Shatter the Heavens!" The Grand Elder repeatedly swung the azure saber, creating a storm of ice crystals.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two attacks collided. The entire Spiritual Race swayed and shook. If not for the fact that the buildings had been specially constructed and further reinforced by arrays, they would have all been destroyed.


    The battle between Zhao Yufei and the Grand Elder left the other upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race stunned. They never would have imagined that the heavenly daughter of the Spiritual Race would have matured to this level.


    But at this time, the entire Spiritual Race was under the Grand Elder''s control. Everyone had to obey him. The Third Elder and Second Elder had defied the Grand Elder, so they had been imprisoned in the forbidden ground.


    "Who is that man with Zhao Yufei?" An Ancient God suddenly looked at Zhao Feng. It was obvious from the fact that Zhao Feng was perfectly fine despite being so close to the battle that he possessed extraordinary cultivation.


    "No matter who he is, he''s going to have a bad end!" Ancient God Ice Origin sneered.


    The Grand Elder was able to supplant the former patriarch because the Grand Elder had the support of even stronger God Lord. This was also why the majority of the Spiritual Race''s members were willing to support the Grand Elder.


    At this moment:


    Swish!


    A white-robed middle-aged man appeared in the sky.


    "It''s him!" Ancient God Ice Origin became excited.


    "Patriarch, let me capture this traitor of the Spiritual Race." The middle-aged man faintly smiled as he stared at Zhao Yufei.


    "It''s you!" Zhao Yufei scowled.


    She recalled that it was the team of three led by this white-robed middle-aged man who had suddenly attacked her near the Burning Heaven Sea. If not for Zhao Feng''s prompt arrival, she would have probably been captured.


    This middle-aged man was none other than Beiming Hui.


    "In the end, you couldn''t escape my grasp!" Beiming Hui evilly chuckled.


    "Heh, Beiming Hui, you escaped last time, but I didn''t think that we would meet again so soon!" At this moment, the bystander Zhao Feng finally spoke.


    His face slowly shifted, returning to its original appearance.


    "You''re... Zhao Feng!" Beiming Hui was at first somewhat confused, but then he grimaced.

 1525 Casual Slaughter

    Chapter 1525 - Casual Slaughter


    "You''re... Zhao Feng!" Beiming Hui was at first somewhat confused, but then he grimaced.


    He had never expected for Zhao Feng to return to the Spiritual Race with Zhao Yufei. After all, many great powers of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, the Heaven Defying Faction included, were watching out for Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye. But Zhao Feng had chosen to show himself and even return to the Spiritual Race.


    "Zhao Feng!" The four enforcer Elders also scowled.


    They were recently-promoted enforcer Elders of the Spiritual Race, but in truth, they were not members of the Spiritual Race at all. Rather, they were members of the Heaven Defying Faction, and they naturally understood what was going on with Zhao Feng.


    In the distance, the spectating members of the Spiritual Race all trembled, including Ancient God Ice Origin.


    "How could it be him?" Ancient God Ice Origin''s body was shivering in fear.


    He had already made up his mind to never provoke Zhao Feng for the rest of his life, but he almost ended up offending Zhao Feng just after he had returned to the Spiritual Race.


    And didn''t Zhao Feng say just now that he let Beiming Hui escape last time? Beiming Hui, the man supporting the Grand Elder from the shadows, was a Third Heaven God Lord!


    Though it seemed absurd, Beiming Hui seemingly had a relationship with Zhao Feng - apparently defeated and forced to flee.


    Swish!


    As Zhao Feng extended a hand, a Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword took form. With a light swing, he fired off a bolt of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy.


    In the distance, the Grand Elder sensed this powerful attack and immediately dodged. However, Spacetime Intent descended on his body, bringing his speed and thinking speed to a snail''s crawl.


    "Crystal Spirit Liquefaction!" The Grand Elder was compelled to use his secret bloodline art, his body becoming transparent liquid crystal.


    Kaploosh!


    Zhao Feng''s bolt of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy struck the Grand Elder, cutting through his body, but a moment later, the massive wound on the Grand Elder''s body began to heal. By using the Spiritual Race''s secret art, the Grand Elder avoided a lethal blow.


    But even so, the Spiritual Race''s secret art could not completely nullify the attack; a trickle of blood flowed out of the corner of the Grand Elder''s lips, and his face paled. The pressure on Zhao Yufei lessened, and she was now able to fight evenly with the Grand Elder, even gain the upper hand.


    With this single understated attack from Zhao Feng, Beiming Hui could sense that Zhao Feng had gotten much stronger.


    "Everyone, get over here now!" Beiming Hui shouted.


    He was the only Divine Emissary present at the Spiritual Race. Beiming Hui knew that he was no match for Zhao Feng alone, but he could not simply leave. That would result in mission failure and heavy punishment. Besides, the entire Spiritual Race was under his control right now, and he had numerous subordinates. Victory was not out of the question.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    One black silhouette after another, each of them exuding astonishing energy, emerged from various parts of the Spiritual Race and arrived at Beiming Hui''s side. One of these was a Palace King, and there were several First Heaven God Lords. Besides that, there were also many elite Ancient Gods.


    The nearby Spiritual Race members were all stunned. None of them had imagined that there were so many experts hiding in the Spiritual Race.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Grand Elder coalesced his bloodline power and Divine Power into a powerful strike that managed to temporarily push Zhao Yufei back. He and four enforcer Elders then flew to Beiming Hui''s side.


    Their plan before was to control the Spiritual Race so they could capture Zhao Yufei, but now, dealing with Zhao Feng was their first priority.


    "Zhao Feng, even if you''re much stronger with me, I have many more subordinates. You''re helpless!" Beiming Hui smiled.


    The moment Zhao Feng had revealed his true face, Beiming Hui sent word. He just needed to delay Zhao Feng until reinforcements from the Heaven Defying Faction arrived, upon which Zhao Feng would be finished.


    "I let you escape last time, but you''re doomed this time!" Zhao Feng''s eyes focused.


    Last time, the Heaven Defying Faction not only sent many Divine Emissaries, it even sent its Protector. Zhao Feng''s group was forced into a perilous situation. He would definitely avenge himself, and he would start with Beiming Hui.


    "Arrogant junior!" Beiming Hui bellowed.


    Zhao Feng had once more emphasized Beiming Hui''s defeat, robbing him of any dignity he had left in the Spiritual Race.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Beiming Hui''s subordinates began to move.


    The enemy side had Beiming Hui, the Grand Elder, and a Palace King. The remaining God Lords and high-rank Ancient Gods stood in the rear to provide support and disruption.


    "I''ll let you try out my Primal Chaos Domain!" Zhao Feng appeared rather excited.


    Bzzz!


    Vast Primal Chaos energy erupted from Zhao Feng''s body and fused into the world. A moment later, a vast area became dark and gloomy. Everything in this world began to disappear, transforming into torrents of chaotic energy that flew randomly through the region. In a flash, the Primal Chaos Domain was formed.


    Within this domain, Beiming Hui''s group felt like their connections to the world were cut off, their bodies weakened. The Divine Power they released was being absorbed and devoured by the Primal Chaos energy around them. At the same time, they needed to focus all their power on dodging the chaotic torrents of energy flying through the Primal Chaos Domain.


    "Ah...!" A Rank Nine Ancient God failed to dodge in time and was obliterated by a torrent of Primal Chaos energy.


    At Zhao Feng''s level, even the smallest of dangers presented by the Primal Chaos Domain could easily kill anyone beneath the God Lord level.


    For various reasons, the members of Beiming Hui''s group began to feel fear before the battle had even started.


    "Focus on defending and breaking out of this place!" Beiming Hui paled and immediately yelled.


    He could sense just how powerful this Primal Chaos Domain was. If they did not leave now, it wouldn''t matter how many subordinates he had.


    "All of you, die here!" Zhao Feng roared as he took control of the Primal Chaos Domain.


    The Primal Chaos Domain became even more chaotic, torrents of Primal Chaos energy hurtling pell-mell through the region.


    "Defend!" As Beiming Hui shouted, he thrust out his palm several times, blasting apart some of the energy torrents.


    But he could not protect everyone. Zhao Feng''s God''s Spiritual Eye observed all; whenever the chaos within the Primal Chaos Domain opened up an opportunity, he would seize it to kill a foe.


    "Ah ¡­!"


    Scream after scream rang out as one sub-God-Lord member after another was slain. A few moments later, they were all dead.


    "It''s time for the God Lords now!" Zhao Feng''s cold laughter echoed through the Primal Chaos Domain.


    Within the Primal Chaos Domain, energy torrents of even greater power began to surge.


    Zhao Feng himself began to move out.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Beiming Hui''s group continued to fend off the dangers around themselves as they fled toward the edge of the domain. But at this time, a figure appeared behind them.


    "Zhao Feng!" Beiming Hui''s face turned grim and he gnashed his teeth.


    Swish!


    He took out his Ancestral Artifact fragment and slashed out a massive wave of Primal Chaos energy.


    However, the Primal Chaos energy of the domain immediately surged forward to block and weaken this attack. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng used his Spacetime Law to avoid the attack while also getting closer to Beiming Hui''s group.


    "Hurry and attack!" the Grand Elder shouted.


    He had just experienced Zhao Feng''s strength. Ordinary Second Heaven God Lords were just lambs to be slaughtered for him.


    Fwooosh!


    The other members immediately responded, sending a barrage of attacks forward.


    With a thought, Zhao Feng controlled the Primal Chaos Domain. Primal Chaos energy streams swirled around his body. Boom! Bang! Crash!


    As those attacks got close, they were all blocked by these streams of Primal Chaos energy. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Feng reached the Grand Elder''s group.


    He swung the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Kacrack!


    A First Heaven God Lord was cut in half, as dead as one could possibly be.


    The Primal Chaos Domain suppressed Zhao Feng''s enemies while strengthening Zhao Feng.


    After killing one person, Zhao Feng moved to the next and swung his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword again.


    "Zhao Feng, stop...!" Beiming Hui shouted in panic, and he joined the Grand Elder and the Palace King in attacking Zhao Feng.


    The Palace King and the Grand Elder didn''t even dare to approach Zhao Feng alone. They only moved when the three of them were together.


    But as they were all-around suppressed within the Primal Chaos Domain, it was impossible for them to catch Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng ignored the three and continued his ruthless slaughter.


    Zhao Feng killed First Heaven God Lords like they were ants!


    Soon after, only Beiming Hui, the Grand Elder, and the Palace King were left, and they were plunged into complete despair.


    "Zhao Feng, spare our lives and you will still have time to leave!" Beiming Hui decided to show weakness.


    He could see that Zhao Feng had not used his full strength and still had many subordinates who had yet to appear. The three of them had no chance of winning. At this time, Beiming Hui decided to imply that the Heaven Defying Faction was sending experts and that Zhao Feng should leave as quickly as possible.


    "Hmph, thank you for the warning. I''ll immediately finish the three of you off!" Zhao Feng sneered. Within the Primal Chaos Domain, he was like a god of darkness, exerting an invisible pressure and dread.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Primal Chaos Domain gradually began to contract, but the shrinking area only concentrated its power.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" Zhao Feng brought his hands together and used a different skill.


    He used all the Divine Power in the Primal Chaos Domain for the Primal Chaos Lock.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The gloomy dimension gradually faded, leaving behind three black spheres of chaotic energy. These spheres sealed Beiming Hui, the Palace King, and the Grand Elder.


    "Don''t even think about holding me!" Beiming Hui shouted. He activated his bloodline and Ancestral Artifact fragment, unleashing supreme waves of energy against the Primal Chaos Lock.


    Zhao Feng cared little about Beiming Hui''s resistance. After all, he had simultaneously used three Primal Chaos Locks.


    His lack of focus caused each Primal Chaos Lock to be weaker than usual. Even so, the Palace King and the Grand Elder were incapable of resisting.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two chaotic spheres suddenly constricted and exploded. The Heaven Defying Faction Palace King and the Grand Elder were dead!


    When observing the Grand Elder, Zhao Feng realized that the Grand Elder had been modified by the Heaven Defying Faction into a Death God Guard, placing him completely under the control of the Heaven Defying Faction. As a Death God Guard, the Grand Elder was merely a tool used to control the Spiritual Race, so Zhao Feng killed him without hesitation.


    The only enemy left was Beiming Hui.


    In the distance, the upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race were dumbfounded and speechless. A powerful group led by Beiming Hui and the Grand Elder had been destroyed by Zhao Feng alone!


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The chaotic black sphere holding Beiming Hui suddenly swelled and shattered.


    Beiming Hui charged out and stared furiously at Zhao Feng, but there was nothing he could do.


    Swish!


    Beiming Hui turned around and fled. Zhao Feng was far too strong now. If he continued to stick around, he would simply be adding his name to the list of the dead.

 1526 Baring Ones Fangs

    Chapter 1526 - Baring One''s Fangs Swish!


    Beiming Hui turned around and fled. Zhao Feng was far too strong now. If he continued to stick around, he would simply be adding his name to the list of the dead.


    "I said before - this time, you''re doomed!" Zhao Feng focused his left eye on Beiming Hui, gathering Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy.


    Thwish!


    Suddenly, a gloomy bolt of lightning exploded out of Zhao Feng''s left eye and struck Beiming Hui.


    "Ah...!" Beiming Hui screamed, his body freezing for a moment.


    After being struck by the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword, he could feel Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies wreaking havoc in his body, damaging him physically and spiritually.


    After six years, Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy had both been cultivated to a whole new level.


    Beiming Hui began to groan in pain.


    But he did not have much time to catch his breath.


    "Not good...!" Beiming Hui paled as he sensed danger approaching and immediately turned to flee.


    But Zhao Feng was already upon him, swinging down his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    In his haste, Beiming Hui only had time to form his Primal Chaos energy into a wall.


    Boom! Bang!


    But this thick wall of Primal Chaos energy seemed to have been made of tofu, Zhao Feng''s sword cutting it cleanly in two. The sword continued into Beiming Hui''s chest, cutting out a large wound.


    Beiming Hui flew backward, vomiting blood.


    Swish!


    Before he could even stand up, the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword stabbed into his chest.


    "No, Zhao Feng-!" Beiming Hui extended a hand and tried to plead for mercy.


    But Zhao Feng would never spare him.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng formed a second and third Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword and cast them forward.


    Seeing the situation, Beiming Hui could only use the power of his Divine Kingdom.


    The image of a massive Divine Kingdom suddenly enveloped Beiming Hui.


    Swooosh!


    The first Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword that stabbed into the Divine Kingdom manifestation was greatly hindered and unable to get any deeper.


    "Explode!" Zhao Feng focused his eyes and shouted.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords that were stabbed into the Divine Kingdom manifestation and Beiming Hui''s chest both exploded, sending a storm of Primal Chaos energy ripping through the world.


    When the dust settled, Beiming Hui''s body was revealed, and it was in tatters, his injuries grim as he struggled on death''s door.


    "Die," Zhao Feng flatly said, his left eye once more firing off a Primal Chaos Lightning Sword.


    Boom! Bang!


    Beiming Hui was incapable of resisting now. He was struck by the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword, and the energy that poured into his body obliterated him in both body and soul.


    Finally, Beiming Hui - who had once captured Zhao Feng with a single move - was slain by that very Zhao Feng!


    Many of the upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race were all struck dumb, seemingly petrified. They were all people who had yielded to the Grand Elder and chosen to obey him, but now, the Grand Elder and the person who supported him had been killed by Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng displayed unimaginable power. Even if they tried to run, it would be futile.


    Ancient God Ice Origin felt like his body had been deprived of strength, and he dropped limply to the ground, his face slack.


    In the Spiritual Race''s forbidden ground:


    Swish! Swish!


    Many people flew out, and Zhao Feng spotted the patriarch, Second Elder, and Third Elder among them.


    While Zhao Feng was fighting, Zhao Yufei headed to the forbidden ground to free the members imprisoned there. "Patriarch!" In a flash, all the traitors of the Spiritual Race got down on their knees and begged for their lives.


    The patriarch completely ignored these people.


    "Zhao Feng, what happened to the Grand Elder?" the patriarch asked.


    Given that they were able to come out and looking at the attitude of the traitors, he could already guess that Zhao Feng had defeated the Grand Elder and those mysterious experts.


    "All dead," Zhao Feng calmly replied.


    These words caused the faces of the Spiritual Race members who had just been released to go stiff with disbelief. The patriarch, Second Elder, and Third Elder knew just how strong those Heaven''s Legacy Race experts were. There was even a Third Heaven God Lord in that group. But Zhao Feng was saying that these people were all dead?


    "We owe you a great favor for this, Zhao Feng!" The Second Elder didn''t care if this was real or false, and he stepped forward to offer his gratitude.


    It was fortunate that the Spiritual Race had changed its attitude toward Zhao Feng in a timely manner, or else Zhao Feng might not have chosen to save them.


    "Master, what in the world happened? How did the Spiritual Race turn out like this?" Zhao Yufei immediately asked.


    If she and Zhao Feng had not rushed back, the Spiritual Race might have been destroyed.


    "It''s a long story. Some time ago, the Heaven''s Legacy Race experts suddenly descended, seized all the upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race, and forced us to submit...." the patriarch simply explained.


    The Spiritual Race was no match for the well-prepared Heaven''s Legacy Race, and all of its upper echelon members had been captured. Later on, under the threats and bribes of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, the Grand Elder chose to submit. In the end, the Grand Elder was modified into a Death God Guard, becoming a plaything for the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    The Heaven Defying Faction seems like it had another objective in seizing the Spiritual Race." Zhao Feng began to think.


    At first, he had believed that the Heaven Defying Faction took the Spiritual Race so that they could set up a trap for him, but if this was supposed to be a trap, they would have placed at least three Divine Emissaries here, or even sent the Protector. In other words, the Heaven Defying Faction had another goal in mind.


    "But now is not the time to talk about that. We need to withdraw from this place quickly!" Zhao Feng said.


    Beiming Hui had undoubtedly sent word of his arrival to the Heaven Defying Faction. A large force might be here soon.


    While Zhao Feng was much stronger than before, he would still be rather helpless against the Protector.


    "Leave? To where?" The patriarch was startled. The Spiritual Race had been established in this place for many, many years, and its people had developed a deep affection for this place.


    Zhao Feng could see that the patriarch did not want to leave, but the situation was special. The Spiritual Race had to leave. But where would they go?


    At this moment, an Ancient God flew out from the group of Spiritual Race members in the distance.


    Everyone stared at this Ancient God. They found it very strange that a Spiritual Race traitor had dared to rush out in front of the Spiritual Race God Lords and Zhao Feng.


    "People from the Spiritual Race, I am a member of the Life Sacred Land. If you have nowhere to go, you can go to the Life Sacred Land."


    The crowd was shocked to hear this man''s identity. They exchanged glances among each other, still suspicious of this man''s true identity.


    "Let''s go to the Life Sacred Land," Zhao Feng said.


    Whether or not this man was a member of the Life Sacred Land, going to the Life Sacred Land was truly the correct choice.


    The Spiritual Race was not willing to move, so it was best to ask for help from the Sacred Land in either case. Zhao Feng was confident that the Heaven Defying Faction''s conduct was a challenge to the Life Sacred Land''s authority, and the Sacred Land would not just sit back and watch.


    "Okay. To the Sacred Land!" The patriarch nodded in agreement.


    The supreme expert of the Life Sacred Land was one of the Eight Great God Eyes and held the title of God.


    The Spiritual Race was a faction under the administration of the Sacred Land. After such a major incident, the Sacred Land could not possibly remain uninvolved.


    Zhao Feng and the Spiritual Race group began to head toward the Life Sacred Land. As for the traitors, the patriarch placed a special mark on their bodies and then ordered them to guard the Spiritual Race.


    Half a month later, the group arrived at the Life Sacred Land.


    As they arrived, the domain opened up for them.


    "Please!" A Sacred Land Elder was waiting to lead them inside.


    "Elder, we-" the patriarch prepared to explain.


    "The Life God has requested to see you. All of you only need to follow me." The Sacred Land Elder genially smiled.


    "What? The God!?" The patriarch, the Second Elder, and even Zhao Feng were all surprised to hear this. They never would have expected that the Life God would request a meeting with them.


    Perhaps the Life God already noticed something, or else the Sacred Land wouldn''t have sent someone to infiltrate the Spiritual Race.... Zhao Feng mentally noted.


    They would probably be able to learn the truth once they met the Life God.


    At the top of the ancient Life Tree was a palace of crystalline green that radiated comforting Life energy.


    As soon as they entered the palace, the party was startled. Standing at the upper reaches of this palace was a tall, noble, and elegant woman. She was wearing light green imperial robes that trailed for several feet behind her. Her body was perfectly shaped, her skin tender and fair, her face possessing an exquisite and peerless beauty that drained everything else around her of its luster.


    "The Life God?" Zhao Feng''s mind trembled. He never expected the Life God to be such a beautiful woman. She didn''t seem very old, and it was hard to imagine that she was someone who had lived for tens of billions of years.


    The Life God was a noble and inviolable goddess, but she exuded an inexplicable intimacy that made anyone who looked at her feel a sense of closeness.


    The members of the Spiritual Race were immersed in the Life God''s beauty and warmth, all their worries swept away. Even the Spiritual Race Patriarch, a Second Heaven old monster who had lived countless years, quietly appreciated the Life God.


    "People of the Spiritual Race!" the Life God spoke, her heavenly voice penetrating into their minds.


    "Paying respects to the Life God!" The Spiritual Race party bowed.


    "There is no need for courtesy. People of the Spiritual Race, you have come to seek aid from the Sacred Land, yes?" The Life God slowly sat down.


    Yes, my Spiritual Race was forcefully seized by the Heaven Defying Faction. If not for the return of Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng, the entire Spiritual Race might have ended up becoming theirs!" The Spiritual Race Patriarch had a look of sorrow and grief on his face.


    "It''s not just your Spiritual Race. The same has happened to the Blazing Gold Race, Divine Tree Ocean, and Heaven- Shaking Alliance!" The Life God''s serious face exuded a different sort of beauty.


    The Life God had already noticed something was wrong, so she sent members to infiltrate the four five-star factions, but she was never able to find out exactly what was going on. But then, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei returned, throwing the situation in the Spiritual Race into disarray.


    After listening to the Spiritual Race Patriarch''s story, the Life God gained an even deeper understanding of the situation.


    "What? The other five-star factions...?" The patriarch and the others were all stunned.


    The factions the Life God mentioned were the other five-star factions of the Ziling Zone. In the current situation, one could even say that the Heaven Defying Faction had infiltrated the entire Ziling Zone with the exception of the Life Sacred Land.


    "The Heaven Defying Faction, just what is it trying to do?" Zhao Feng''s heart sank.


    Near the border of the Ziling Zone, in that pitch-black palace at the summit of the central island in the Heaven''s Legacy Race Divine Kingdom, the upper echelon members of the Heaven Defying Faction had gathered.


    "Heaven Lord, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei returned, causing a mishap at the Spiritual Race. All of our men hidden there were wiped out!" A black-robed elder stood up.


    Beiming Hui had requested reinforcements from him, but the Heaven Defying Faction had not sent any.


    "Unimportant," the Protector flatly said.


    Next to him, the Heaven Lord had been smiling the entire time.


    But everyone else could detect a tinge of anger in this smile, because it was yet again the Ninth God Eye that had ruined their plan.


    "It''s time to show the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods everything we have.... There is just one last step in our plan!" the Heaven Lord suddenly declared, his dark and unfathomable eyes twinkling like stars.

 1527 Sacred Land Level War

    Chapter 1527 - Sacred Land Level War


    In the Life Sacred Land, within the central palace:


    "I will give you a reply soon," the Life God softly and amiably said.


    The Sacred Land just obtained a great deal of information from the Spiritual Race. It needed to further investigate so as to deepen its understanding of the situation. Thus, the Life God did not issue any decrees, but she also allowed the Spiritual Race to remain in the Sacred Land and guaranteed their safety.


    "Farewell!" The Spiritual Race group rose and left.


    "Patriarch, what do you think is going on here?" the Second Elder whispered.


    He sensed that this matter was extremely complicated. In the past, the Heaven Defying Faction had always done its best to remain hidden, but a major shift had taken place recently. The Heaven Defying Faction conquered the Illusion God Sacred Land a while ago, and now, it had even infiltrated the power structure of the Ziling Zone. This was audacious to the extreme.


    "I''m not sure." The patriarch sighed.


    The Heaven Defying Faction''s conduct was undoubtedly challenging the Sacred Land, but they did not believe that the Heaven Defying Faction would dare to actually attack the Life Sacred Land.


    One had to understand that those with the title of God were immortal and supreme existences of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Not since the Eight Great God Eyes first emerged had a single God ever fallen, and this was the era of the Eight Great God Eyes, the God Eyes serving as symbols of the Gods.


    For a normal person to obtain the title of God in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, there were only two options. The first was to obtain a complete Ancestral Artifact while the second was to fuse two or more perfected Laws.


    But there were exceptions to everything. Holders of God Eyes only needed to become God Kings to naturally attain the title of God. This was because God Eyes themselves were equivalent to Ancestral Artifacts, perhaps even higher. They contained the primordial principles of the universe.


    However, in Zhao Feng''s view, there was a chance that the Heaven Defying Faction would act against a Sacred Land presided over by a God. He had interacted with the Heaven Defying Faction many times and understood this faction far more than anyone else.


    In addition, he could see that the Life God was a pacifist, even tolerating the challenges issued by others. Any other Sacred Land would have immediately exposed the matter after learning what was going on and started negotiations with the Heaven Defying Faction.


    Of course, it didn''t matter how much Zhao Feng thought about these things.


    Once he returned to his room, Zhao Feng entered his Divine Kingdom and began to cultivate.


    Swish!


    A dark and twisted fragment appeared in Zhao Feng''s hand. This was the Ancestral Artifact fragment he had obtained from Beiming Hui, an Ancestral Artifact fragment that had once belonged to the Ancestral Artifact of the Heaven Mending Race.


    "Once I control this Ancestral Artifact fragment, my attacks will be even stronger!" Smiling, Zhao Feng began to refine the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    While refining the fragment, Zhao Feng split off portions of his mind to cultivate other things.


    He had one part of his mind cultivate the Primal Chaos Domain. He had just finished using it in battle and had learned various things. Moreover, he was only capable of using this technique recently, so he still wasn''t very proficient with it.


    Secondly, Zhao Feng studied the Primal Chaos Scripture and began to refine his Divine Power.


    He sent a third part of his mind to study eye-bloodline techniques. Zhao Feng believed that there was still room to improve the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword.


    One year passed within the Divine Kingdom, though this was only one day in the outside world.


    In this period of time, Zhao Feng successfully refined the Ancestral Artifact fragment and had even used it a few times within the Dream Divine Kingdom.


    At Zhao Feng''s current level, the Ancestral Artifact fragment did not provide as great a boost in power as imagined, but in a clash between experts, every little bit helped.


    After familiarizing himself with the Ancestral Artifact fragment, Zhao Feng continued his seclusion.


    But it wasn''t long before Zhao Feng sensed something strange going on outside. Although he was inside his Divine Kingdom, his senses could still perceive what was going on outside within a certain distance of his Divine Kingdom.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng left the Divine Kingdom.


    At the same time:


    Bong! Bong! Bong!


    A heavy thundering like that of war drums penetrated into his mind. For some reason, this sound made Zhao Feng''s mind blaze with fighting intent.


    "Brother Feng, there''s a big problem!" Zhao Yufei''s anxious voice came from outside.


    Once he left his room, that thunderous drumming intensified.


    "The Heaven Defying Faction''s Divine Kingdom suddenly appeared outside the Life Sacred Land and began to attack!" Zhao Yufei anxiously said.


    Although Zhao Feng had imagined this scenario, he was still stunned to hear that it had actually occurred. The Heaven Defying Faction actually dared to attack a Sacred Land presided over by a God!


    A Sacred Land with a God could be considered one of the most powerful factions in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. What did the Heaven Defying Faction hope to achieve in doing this?


    Zhao Feng did not believe that the Heaven Defying Faction was attacking this God Sacred Land because they thought he was hiding there.


    Thwish! Thwish!


    Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei swiftly went outside.


    Outside the Life Sacred Land''s barrier was an enormous illusory world. It was the Heaven Defying Faction''s Divine Kingdom. Countless experts were around this Divine Kingdom, assembled into various arrays that surrounded the Life Sacred Land.


    The other three five-star factions are all under the control of the Heaven''s Legacy Race!" the Spiritual Race Patriarch looked around and concluded.


    The members of the three major five-star factions of the Ziling Zone could be seen in that army. Only the Spiritual Race, because of Zhao Feng''s return, was able to break free of its shackles, so its members were not among these ranks.


    The Sacred Land did not seem too nervous about the Heaven Defying Faction''s mighty army. This was because their Sacred Land was presided over by a God!


    Thwish!


    At this moment, a light green figure shot forward, turning into a stalwart forest goddess.


    All the members of the Life Sacred Land looked toward this goddess in awe and veneration.


    "Heaven''s Legacy Race, what do you mean by this?" the Life God spoke in a gentle and resounding tone.


    She had just sent people to investigate the matter further, but before they even returned, the Heaven Defying Faction had come to pay a visit. All of this was far too sudden.


    Swish!


    A white-robed figure appeared in the passage toward that illusory world.


    "Heaven Lord...!" Zhao Feng inwardly muttered in shock.


    The Heaven Lord gave Zhao Feng both a familiar and unfamiliar feeling. He was familiar because of the time they had spent together, but he was unfamiliar because the Heaven Lord of the present was very different from the Heaven Lord of the past.


    "Heh, Life God Eye, your mission ends here!" The Heaven Lord smiled as he stared at the Life God Whoosh!


    He raised his right hand and lightly waved it. Surging waves of Divine Power instantly rose up around the Life Sacred Land.


    "Attack!" Deafening roars came from all around.


    The upper echelon members of the Life Sacred Land had not expected for the Heaven Defying Faction to engage in hostilities without even attempting negotiations.


    "Hmph, it seems like you didn''t learn much from your last lesson!" An elder who was several dozen feet tall, his skin covered in growth rings, walked out from the upper echelon of the Life Sacred Land.


    "God King Radiant Peak!" the crowd couldn''t help but shout.


    God King Radiant Peak was the second-in-command to the Life God and possessed profound strength. When the Life God was in seclusion, God King Radiant Peak was responsible for handling the various affairs of the Sacred Land.


    "History is written by the victors!" The Heaven Lord smiled, his face suffused with confidence.


    "Counterattack!" God King Radiant Peak suddenly bellowed.


    The Life God had a fondness for peace and found the thought of war somewhat unbearable, but he would not be so benevolent. He would never allow anyone to challenge the dignity of the Life Sacred Land.


    The members of the Sacred Land began to move, forming up into four massive groups that charged off in the four directions.


    A few moments later, the two sides were doing battle.


    Brrrooom!


    The heavens and earth quaked. The area around the Life Sacred Land became gray and gloomy, but this did not affect anyone''s vision.


    "A Sacred Land war!" Zhao Feng was startled.


    He had not expected to see such a large-scale war.


    A Sacred Land being overthrown was not unheard of, but it was so rare that one would be lucky to see it once every one billion years. But now, the two sides of this Sacred Land war were the Life Sacred Land with its God and the Heaven Defying Faction.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Explosions rang out endlessly around the Life Sacred Land.


    The level of those taking part in the battle ranged from True God to God Lord, but the ones primarily fighting at this time were the True Gods and Ancient Gods. Neither side had sent out many God Lords yet.


    However, a few moments later, the balance of the battle began to tilt.


    "To think that the Heaven Defying Faction would be so powerful!" God King Radiant Peak was alarmed.


    One had to realize that the Life Sacred Land had many doctors, and these played an enormous role on the battlefield. Despite this, the Heaven Defying Faction still had the upper hand.


    This was partially because the Heaven Defying Faction had consumed three of the Ziling Zone''s five-star factions and their many subordinate factions.


    "Members of the Spiritual Race, you join the battle as well!" God King Radiant Peak suddenly turned to the Spiritual Race.


    The Spiritual Race was subordinate to the Sacred Land and was even staying within it. Now that the Sacred Land was facing difficulties, they were obligated to lend a hand.


    "But Brother Feng is the Ninth God Eye...." Zhao Yufei said.


    Zhao Feng held the Ninth God Eye and had previously been one of the Heaven Defying Faction''s important capture targets. The moment he entered the battlefield, the Heaven Defying Faction would probably begin to target him.


    "Zhao Feng does not need to fight right now," God King Radiant Peak immediately said.


    As the Ninth God Eye, Zhao Feng truly was a very attractive target. His entry into the battle might make it difficult to control. Besides, Zhao Feng had killed Divine Emissary Beiming Hui, so he was clearly powerful. There was no need to mobilize such a fighting force at this time.


    "Go!" the patriarch roared as he led the Spiritual Race in a charge.


    Yufei, be careful!" Zhao Feng called out.


    But the Spiritual Race''s entry into the battle did not have much effect. Only a small portion of the Spiritual Race''s members had actually come to the Sacred Land.


    The explosive news of the Sacred Land war immediately began to spread.


    The first to learn of this war were the major zones adjacent to the Ziling Zone. They immediately sent experts to see what the situation was, and there was even a God King who decided to personally take a look.


    A change in a Sacred Land would probably cause a shift in the power structure of the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, particularly when it came to the zones around the Life Sacred Land.


    The upper echelon members of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land of the Antian Zone were only too happy to hear this news. Whichever side won or lost, the Ziling Zone''s strength would drastically decrease after this war.


    In the western region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, in the Sage Faction''s secret base, the many sages were all uneasy, but they could not divine anything.


    "Danger... danger from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods...." Yu Tianwu found it difficult to divine anything specific.


    After all, the Heaven Defying Faction also belonged to the Heaven''s Legacy Race. It could disrupt the divinations of the Sage Faction. Moreover, there were too many experts involved in the divination, including the Life God, Heaven Lord Yu Tianshu, and many God Kings and God Lords.


    Liu Qinxin closed her eyes, building up massive amounts of Destiny energy in her eyes. Gradually, she began to see an image. This image was of a green-robed woman of peerless beauty standing across from a white-robed elder in a longdistance stalemate.

 1528 The Mighty Heaven Defying Faction

    Chapter 1528 - The Mighty Heaven Defying Faction


    A Sacred Land level war was completely different from a war involving five-star factions.


    One could see chaos and fighting wherever one looked. The battlefield covered a simply enormous area. Thus, the two factions divided the battlefield into four smaller battlefields, each with its own commander.


    The Life Sacred Land''s members had a very clear plan of battle. The ones leading the charge were skilled in defense, the ones in the middle were skilled in offense and long-distance attacks, and those in the rear were responsible for support and treatment.


    But the Heaven Defying Faction was just as organized and possessed many more techniques. The Heaven Defying Faction also had many warships with destructive weaponry and special arrays. This offensive might was something that even the Sacred Land found difficult to deal with.


    And this was despite the Life Sacred Land having so many doctors that specialized in recovery. A normal Sacred Land would have had no chance of victory. It was no wonder the Illusion God Sacred Land had fallen to the Heaven Defying Faction.


    However, the Heaven Defying Faction had only rested a few years after taking the Illusion God Sacred Land and then attacked the Life Sacred Land. Many people found this idea utterly absurd. Had the Heaven Defying Faction managed to recover its energy in such a short amount of time?


    Of course, there was another possibility: the Heaven Defying Faction might have had an overwhelming advantage and suffered few losses in the battle against the Illusion God Sacred Land.


    "The Heaven Defying Faction has so many God Eye descendants!" a Third Heaven God Lord called out in alarm.


    Even though they were a Sacred Land controlled by a God Eye, they were far inferior number-wise in God Eye descendants compared to the Heaven Defying Faction.


    "The resources of the Heaven Defying Faction have far exceeded our expectations...." God King Radiant Peak''s face darkened.


    But he was still not worried. This lower-level battle would not have much effect on the final outcome. What was of utmost importance was the clash of upper echelon members, and they had the Life God on their side!


    God Kings who had obtained the title of God could easily defeat ordinary God Kings. The Heaven Defying Faction would need an existence that could contend with a God if they wanted any chance of victory.


    And even if they did have an existence that could fight against a God, they wouldn''t be able to keep up the battle for long, not unless the Heaven Defying Faction had a God of its own.


    But God King Radiant Peak couldn''t understand why the Heaven Defying Faction had attacked the Life Sacred Land.


    At this moment, from the Heaven Defying Faction:


    "Life God, why don''t you just surrender and avoid turning the entire Life Sacred Land into a land of the dead?" The Heaven Lord smiled as he gently spoke.


    "Impossible!" The Life God''s face was serious like never before. Although she was one of the Eight Great God Eyes who was not skilled in combat and hated war, why would a God Eye ever surrender and offer themselves to the enemy?


    "Heheh!" The Protector evilly laughed, and then he issued an order.


    The many God Eye descendants on the Heaven Defying Faction side began to gather together.


    "What are they planning?" God King Radiant Peak was confused.


    But a moment later, he grimaced. Ripples of dreadful God Eye energy were arising from multiple places on the battlefield. Groups ranging from three to eight God Eye descendants were using some secret art to fuse their eye- bloodline energies together.


    "God Eye Fusion Art!" Zhao Feng muttered to himself as he carefully observed.


    This secret art could be considered one of the trump cards of the Heaven Defying Faction. At present, it appeared that only Zhao Feng''s Origin energy could counter the power of God Eye Fusion.


    Zhao Feng observed that the majority of the God Eye Fusion groups consisted of five to six members, maximizing the chances of success. There were fewer cases of groups of eight. After all, the fusion was even more difficult and time- consuming, with interruption resulting in massive backlash.


    Of course, Zhao Feng was observing all this because he was extremely interested in this secret art. At his cultivation level and with his God Eye level Dream God Eye, he could extract a great deal of information from observing the God Eye Fusion Art process. After all, back in the day, when he was observing the battles of his peers, he was able to study and duplicate their techniques and skills if they were not of too high a level.


    Kabooom!


    The God Eye energy surged into the air, intimidating the members of the Sacred Land.


    As members of a Sacred Land ruled by a God Eye, they had extreme respect for God Eyes, but now, they sensed a God Eye energy from their enemies that they normally only sensed from the Life God Eye.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Explosions erupted across the battlefield. The power of God Eye Fusion swept unstoppably through the Sacred Land force.


    A few moments later, the Heaven Defying Faction had massively pushed forward the front line.


    "This secret art..." The Life God was startled.


    She had only ever heard of this secret, never seen it for herself. But now, the Heaven Defying Faction, after using its many God Eye descendants to perform this secret art, instantly gained a massive advantage that crushed the Sacred Land''s forces.


    "Report! The northern army is no match...!" A soul message passed through the message token God King Radiant Peak held up to his head.


    If an army was no match, he either had to send reinforcements or order a retreat. The Sacred Land had already sent all its forces, so sending reinforcements was an impossibility.


    "Report! The eastern army is no match!" Another report came, causing God King Radiant Peak''s face to turn extremely gloomy.


    "Your Excellency, we''ve lost ground in the lower-level battle. We can only raise the level of battle and send in our experts!" God King Radiant Peak looked to the Life God for guidance.


    If they immediately increased the level of battle and had the upper echelon members fight, the number of fighters in the lower-level battlefield would shrink, reducing their losses.


    The Life God nodded, agreeing to God King Radiant Peak''s strategy. The Heaven Defying Faction even had God Eye descendants, and with their God Eye Fusion Art, they served as trump card of the Heaven Defying Faction. This was the only thing the Sacred Land could do in response.


    "Enter the battle!" God King Radiant Peak messaged the many God Lords of the Sacred Land.


    Nearly ten First Heaven God Lords and several Second Heaven God Lords entered the fray.


    "Haha, this is all the Life Sacred Land amounts to!" The Protector of the Heaven Defying Faction heartily chuckled. Ten-some God Lords flew out of the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The God Lords of both sides began to fiercely battle.


    The God Lord battle gradually began to sweep up more of the battlefield, causing the lower-level members to gradually withdraw.


    There were quite a few God Eye descendants among the Heaven Defying Faction God Lords, but to remove several God Lords from the battle so that they could use the God Eye Fusion Art would have a rather detrimental effect, as these God Lords would not be fighting.


    Moreover, the Sacred Land could use suicide soldiers to interrupt the God Eye Fusion Art, losing one member in exchange for severely wounding all the members in the God Eye Fusion Art through the backlash. No matter how one looked at it, this was not a profitable exchange.


    Thus, the God Eye Fusion Art was not practical on the God Lord battlefield.


    Even so, the Heaven Defying Faction had various God Eye descendants while the Eye of Life did not particularly excel in battle. Thus, the Heaven Defying Faction still had the upper hand.


    But the Life Sacred Land excelled in long-term fighting, defense, and recovery. The longer the battle went on, the more it went in their favor.


    Alas, the Heaven Defying Faction would not let the Life Sacred Land get its wish. Since they decided to attack the Life Sacred Land, they had definitely come well-prepared.


    Thwish! Thwish!


    God Lords were constantly leaving the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom to enter the battle. Even Palace Kings were mobilized.


    The Heaven Defying Faction''s Palace Kings were undoubtedly peerless existences among the Second Heaven.


    "To think that the Heaven Defying Faction would have so many God Lords!"


    "And they all have different strengths!"


    The upper echelon elders of the Life Sacred Land were astonished.


    On the lower-level battlefield, the Heaven Defying Faction had used the God Eye Fusion Art to defeat the Sacred Land, and the Heaven Defying Faction was similarly powerful on the God Lord battlefield. They had various God Eye descendants and descendants of the top twenty races, even bloodline descendant of the top ten races.


    The Life Sacred Land could only send out its own God Lords in response, but in the end, even after the Sacred Land had sent out all its God Lords below the Third Heaven, they were still outnumbered by the Heaven Defying Faction.


    The Heaven Defying Faction already had the upper hand, and now that they outnumbered the Sacred Land, the battle began to tilt to one side.


    "The situation is not good!" God King Radiant Peak was extremely grim.


    "Although it''s still not time for this one to enter the battle, this one still wishes to aid the Sacred Land!" Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    Although there was no need for him to fight for the Life Sacred Land, the Heaven Defying Faction had tried several times to capture Zhao Feng, even targeting Zhao Yufei and forcing Zhao Feng into a compromise. He was determined to avenge himself.


    "Oh? What is your plan?" God King Radiant Peak asked.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng waved a hand, summoning his clones and the Black Destruction Dragon. A passage to his Divine Kingdom opened, through which the God Lord fighting forces of the Divine Kingdom emerged.


    "Okay!" God King Radiant Peak''s eyes flashed. He still did not advise Zhao Feng to enter the battle, but he hadn''t expected for Zhao Feng to have so many God Lord subordinates.


    "Move out!" Zhao Feng called out.


    The moment he entered the battle, the Heaven Defying Faction would undoubtedly take countermeasures, so he would not have too great an effect on the overall situation. Thus, Zhao Feng first had his subordinates enter the battle while also offering his support from the rear.


    "A Sacred Land war!" The Black Destruction Dragon''s eyes sparkled with a brutal light, and it rushed forward, the others following right behind it.


    Zhao Feng divided his subordinates into four teams, one for each battlefield.


    "Destruction Dragon Blast!" The Black Destruction Dragon charged at a black-scaled elder in the Second Heaven.


    "Heh, today, I''ll kill a real member of the Destruction Dragon Race!" The black-scaled elder savagely smiled. The Black Destruction Dragon blood flowing through his veins was merely implanted.


    "Haha!" The Black Destruction Dragon raised its head and viciously eyed its foe.


    Swish!


    A pitch-black metal fragment appeared in its hand, burning with black flames and radiating Destruction energy. "Ancestral Artifact fragment!?" The black-scaled elder paled.


    But the Black Destruction Dragon was already here, swinging down the Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    As an actual member of the Destruction Dragon Race and with the Ancestral Artifact fragment, the Black Destruction Dragon was far stronger than the black-scaled elder.


    Moreover, Zhao Feng had placed a God Eye mark on the Black Destruction Dragon. Through this mark, the Black Destruction Dragon could draw strength from Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent and Dream God Eye. The Black Destruction Dragon''s vision and perceptions were nearly ten times clearer, allowing it to sense everything to almost the exact detail.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    After several hundred exchanges, the Black Destruction Dragon dealt a killing blow to the black-scaled elder.


    "Ah...!" The elder''s body was swallowed up by a black sun. Even though he possessed a Destruction Dragon Body, he was still burned to cinders under the constant roasting of the black sun.


    Zhao Feng''s other subordinates, similarly boosted by his Eye Intent, were also far stronger than normal.


    Zhao Feng''s subordinates had only been involved in the battle for a short while, and the effects of their entry were not obvious, but as time passed, they began to have more and more of an effect, and the battle appeared to be turning.

 1529 The Divine Emissaries Move Ou

    Chapter 1529 - The Divine Emissaries Move Out


    As the battle went on, the effect Zhao Feng''s subordinates had on the battle began to build up. Eventually, the battle showed signs of turning.


    However, the battlefield was simply too large. Even with Zhao Feng''s subordinates, it was still very difficult to gain a large advantage.


    "Elder Radiant Peak, hurry and summon back the experts training outside, and seek help from our Sacred Land allies!" The Life God, who had been observing the battle this entire time, suddenly spoke.


    The immense power the Heaven Defying Faction was exhibiting through this battle was a great shock to the Life Sacred Land. And presumably, since the Heaven Defying Faction dared to attack the Life Sacred Land, it had come prepared and with confidence in its chances. In addition, not even the Life God could entirely see through the Heaven Lord.


    In this situation, the Life Sacred Land could not be careless and needed to fight with all its power.


    The Life Sacred Land could be considered the Medicine Dao Sacred Land of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and countless people owed it favors. The Life God''s network was extremely widespread.


    However, it was impossible to say just how many people would be willing to help at this time.


    Yes!" God King Radiant Peak nodded and passed on the order.


    Elsewhere in the Ziling Zone, a black-robed woman was seated on a black lotus that was flying forward.


    Thwish!


    A white flash of light came up from behind her, radiating a sharp Sword Intent that could cut through all. It swiftly caught up to the woman.


    "Is this not God Lord Lotus Desire?" The white sword light stopped, turning into an elder in robes of white cloth.


    "I didn''t think that God Lord Ninesword would also be coming." God Lord Lotus Desire gave a charming smile.


    The cloth-robed elder was a Third Heaven expert from the Sword Dao Sacred Land of a zone adjacent to the Ziling Zone, God Lord Ninesword.


    ¡°How could I miss out on a God-level Sacred Land war?!" God Lord Ninesword¡¯s eyes flashed.


    Sacred Land wars were not unheard of, but those involving a Sacred Land presided over by a God were extremely rare.


    Not even he could remember one.


    And the one fighting against the Life Sacred Land was the Heaven''s Legacy Race! This was a war that naturally could not be missed.


    However, as God Lord Lotus Desire and God Lord Ninesword neared the battlefield, they discovered that quite a few experts had already gathered, all of them acting as spectators. The strongest faction here was the Antian Zone''s Fallen Heaven Sacred Land.


    "For the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land to send so many experts, it seems like even if the Life Sacred Land wins, the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land might use the chance to attack!" God Lord Ninesword and God Lord Lotus Desire messaged each other.


    "Let''s see how the battle is doing first." God Lord Lotus Desire waved one of her delicate hands, creating a strange black symbol that flew into the distance.


    Not long later:


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Black flames ignited in front of God Lord Lotus Desire, forming a small screen that showed a blurry image of the battlefield.


    At this time, God Lord Ninesword received a message.


    "The Life Sacred Land is asking for help?" God Lord Lotus Desire charmingly smiled.


    "Let me see what the situation is. If there''s no chance of winning, this old man has no intention of sending himself to death." God Lord Ninesword''s face was utterly unmoved.


    The Sacred Land war had drawn the attention of the top-class experts from almost all the zones bordering the Ziling Zone. If the two factions both came away heavily injured, perhaps they could use this chance to extract advantages for themselves.


    Meanwhile, the news of the war between the Life Sacred Land and the Heaven Defying Faction continued to spread. The entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods began to rumble to life.


    Back in the Life Sacred Land, the war continued.


    Suddenly, the Heaven Lord spoke; "Life God Eye, do you still wish to persist?"


    The Life God did not reply. As the holder of the Life God Eye and the title of God, she would never surrender.


    And besides, she did not believe that she would lose. With her connections and positional advantage, the Life Sacred Land would never lose!


    Whoosh!


    The Heaven Lord lightly waved a hand. Several figures charged out of the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, all of them exuding heaven-shaking energy.


    "Third Heavens!" God King Radiant Peak was alarmed.


    The battle hadn''t been going on for long, but the Heaven Defying Faction was already sending out Third Heaven God Lords. With such a powerful offensive, was the Heaven Defying Faction really planning on swiftly conquering the Life Sacred Land?


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Heaven Defying Faction soon sent its Third Heaven God Lords into the battle.


    The Life Sacred Land could do nothing else except send its own Third Heaven God Lords in response.


    "But is this really all?" God King Radiant Peak was rather confused.


    The Heaven Defying Faction had only sent five Third Heaven God Lords while the Life Sacred Land had seven Third Heavens in all.


    "Divine Emissaries, attack!" The Heaven Lord gave a mocking laugh and then called out. Swish! Swish!


    Six figures dressed in the same white robes emerged from the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom.


    "They still have six more Third Heaven God Lords!?" God King Radiant Peak was alarmed.


    He could sense that these six Third Heaven God Lords all exuded powerful and dangerous bloodline energies. None of them would be easy to deal with.


    Zhao Feng was also rather surprised.


    His gaze was focused on a slender white-robed man among the six Divine Emissaries.


    "It''s him!"


    This man was none other than Divine Emissary Chang, the Divine Emissary who had joined with Beiming Hui in trying to capture Zhao Yufei and delay Zhao Feng''s group. But later on, Zhao Feng and Twilight Valley had worked together to kill Divine Emissary Chang.


    "It seems like he was revived with the Eye of Samsara." Zhao Feng''s heart sank.


    The Heaven Defying Faction definitely had a Third Heaven Eye of Samsara, or else it would have been extremely difficult to revive Divine Emissary Chang.


    Of course, Beiming Hui could also have been revived, but too little time had passed since he was killed. The Heaven Defying Faction''s Eye of Samsara descendant had probably not yet recovered, so they had not revived Beiming Hui.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The six Divine Emissaries distributed themselves across the four battlefields and exhibited their immense might.


    The Life Sacred Land''s God Lords were immediately on the back foot in the clash of Third Heavens.


    The Heaven Defying Faction pushed forward!


    The severity of the situation caused God King Radiant Peak and the Life God to turn grim.


    "Zhao Feng, you must fight now!" God King Radiant Peak immediately said.


    At this time, the Heaven Defying Faction had far more Third Heaven God Lords than the Sacred Land, and those six Divine Emissaries were far stronger than ordinary Third Heavens. The Life Sacred Land was hard-pressed, so Zhao Feng was required to take action.


    "Wait a moment!" Zhao Feng raised a palm and asked for a moment.


    "What?" God King Radiant Peak''s brow creased. Had Zhao Feng''s courage failed in the face of the enemy''s power? "Please wait a moment!" Zhao Feng''s eyes turned serious as he entered his Dream Divine Kingdom.


    God King Radiant Peak was confused. Had Zhao Feng gone into his Divine Kingdom to prepare something?


    But a moment later, he paled, because that Divine Kingdom hidden nearby had suddenly vanished.


    "He''s gone? How!?" God King Radiant Peak was flabbergasted.


    The Life Sacred Land was currently protected by the Sacred Land''s array. Instant Movement or Spatial Shift were impossible to use within it, and outsiders would have to break the array before they could intrude on the Sacred Land. However, Zhao Feng had vanished without any warning, silently leaving the Life Sacred Land.


    Even the Life God was alarmed by this development. This was because not even she understood what was going on. Zhao Feng would have to possess a damaged or perhaps even complete Ancestral Artifact in order to have so easily left the Sacred Land.


    But something even more shocking soon took place.


    Bzzz!


    A dreamy mist appeared in the air, and the figure of Zhao Feng slowly emerged from within it.


    "This energy... the God Eye''s ability?" The Life God noticed something important this time. Zhao Feng was able to so easily leave and return to the Sacred Land almost certainly because of some special ability of the Ninth God Eye.


    "In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, only three or four people, including the Spacetime God, can enter and exit my Life Sacred Land as they please without using an outside power. I didn''t think that another person would appear today!" The Life God gave a cheerful smile as she voiced her admiration.


    Zhao Feng was slightly moved. Even after seeing so many beauties, Zhao Feng still found himself attracted by the Life God''s gorgeous appearance.


    "I will also do all in my power to help the Life Sacred Land!" Zhao Feng firmly declared.


    The Heaven Defying Faction was Zhao Feng''s enemy. He could not let the Heaven Defying Faction get its wish and continue to get stronger.


    And when Zhao Feng returned to the Sage Faction using Thought Teleportation, he learned from Yu Tianwu that the fate of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was connected to this Sacred Land war.


    Swish!


    With a wave of his Spacetime Robe, several dozen people appeared: Xin Wuheng, Twilight Valley, and the Giant God Race Grand Elder among them. These people were all top-class experts of the Light Race and Giant God Hall. After all, low-level True Gods would have very little effect on this battle.


    "We''re here!?" Xin Wuheng and Twilight Valley blurted out in surprise, and they looked around at their surroundings in shock. They learned from Zhao Feng that the Heaven Defying Faction was attacking the Life Sacred Land.


    "Paying respects to the Life God!" The Light Race and Giant God Hall experts called out in unison.


    "They are all enemies of the Heaven Defying Faction." Zhao Feng smiled.


    "Okay!" God King Radiant Peak heartily laughed.


    It turned out that Zhao Feng had just gone to get reinforcements.


    Although they had sent out their own request for reinforcements, no one knew just how long it would be until reinforcements actudly arrived. However, Zhao Feng instantly brought over his own reinforcements, and Twilight Valley and Xin Wuheng were Third Heaven God Lords. The arrival of these reinforcements was truly like a present of charcoal during a snowstorm.


    "Strike!" Zhao Feng called out as he entered the battle.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The Light Race and Giant God Race experts followed him.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng left a trail of spatial ripples in his wake as he charged at the enemy God Lords. Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords gathered in his hands before extending into Tribulation Lightning claws that allowed him to attack farther and more flexibly.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng moved around so quickly that it was impossible for anyone to react. Wherever he went, the Tribulation Lightning on his claws swung around wildly, battering the divine bodies of the enemy God Lords. Ordinary First Heaven and Second Heaven God Lords would be killed with just a single swipe.


    "Ah¡­!" Screams rang out ceaselessly through the air.


    "It''s Zhao Feng! Run!" Panicked voices could be heard. Most of the upper echelon members of the Heaven Defying Faction knew that Zhao Feng had already killed a Divine Emissary.


    In the distance, Divine Emissary Chang - who Zhao Feng had already killed once - turned an extremely cold and severe glare on Zhao Feng.


    "Divine Emissary Li, lend me a hand!" Divine Emissary Chang called out.


    He died back then to Twilight Valley and Zhao Feng. He had been brought back to life this time precisely so that he could take revenge.


    Elsewhere, there was a callous middle-aged man, his body shrouded in a towering red phantom.


    Boom! Bang!


    The massive red phantom gripped a bloody saber that it used to cut a Second Heaven God Lord in two, sending blood gushing everywhere. At the same time, the Second Heaven God Lord''s energy was absorbed by the saber, which radiated a frightening and gruesome aura.


    "Oh? The Ninth God Eye?" Divine Emissary Li shot Zhao Feng a bloodthirsty glance.

 1530 Forcible Execution

    Chapter 1530 - Forcible Execution


    In the distance, the upper echelon members of the Heaven Defying Faction turned their eyes on Zhao Feng.


    "Heaven Lord, the Ninth God Eye has appeared. Should we...?M the Protector whispered.


    "There''s no rush. Let me experience the Ninth God Eye''s power for a little longer." The Heaven Lord shook his head as he stared at Zhao Feng, his eyes tinged with confusion.


    The Protector nodded, briefly looking at the Heaven Lord''s eyes. When he went to capture Zhao Feng, he managed to seize some of Zhao Feng''s blood. This was precisely why the first steps of the Heaven Lord''s plan had been finished so quickly. If not for Zhao Feng, tens of thousands of years would have been needed.


    The Ninth God Eye... are you really the ninth God Eye? the Protector muttered to himself.


    Elsewhere on the battlefield, Zhao Feng gripped a Primal Chaos Lightning Sword in each hand, using the Tribulation Lightning claws to slaughter his enemies.


    The Life Sacred Land was on the back foot. Even if Zhao Feng started by fighting a Divine Emissary, he would not have much effect on the overall battle. Thus, Zhao Feng decided to slaughter the lower-level God Lords first to inspire dread in the hearts of the enemy. The Divine Emissaries would then naturally come to Zhao Feng anyway. There was no need for him to make the initial attack.


    Just as expected:


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Two frightening auras began to approach Zhao Feng.


    "Coming?" Zhao Feng shot a glance over.


    Two Divine Emissaries were now coming at him, but Zhao Feng had already killed quite a few low-level God Lords of the Heaven Defying Faction, which had a significant effect on the battle.


    "Zhao Feng, die!" Divine Emissary Chang''s body turned into a streak of white light as he hurtled toward Zhao Feng. He was the first of the seven Divine Emissaries to ever be slain, and he had Zhao Feng to thank for all of it.


    Divine Emissary Li was right behind him, dark and sinister laughter issuing from his mouth.


    "Light Race and God Martial Race, hm?" Zhao Feng, his face unperturbed, went up to meet them.


    Swish!


    He swung his two Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords, unleashing two waves of energy that howled toward the two Divine Emissaries.


    Divine Emissary Li swung the blood-red saber in his hand.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    A dreadful storm of Divine Power erupted outward, and when the shockwave struck Divine Emissary Li''s body, he felt his blood seethe.


    "What powerful Divine Power! No wonder Beiming Hui died to you, despite how powerful he was!" Divine Emissary Li paused for a moment, and then he revealed a bloodthirsty and excited smile.


    Among the seven Divine Emissaries, he and Beiming Hui were sworn enemies. The two of them had fought several dozen times but had failed to determine which was the better. But now, his sworn enemy had been killed by another. This made Divine Emissary Li extremely interested in Zhao Feng.


    On the other side, Divine Emissary Chang used his Light Race bloodline to agilely dodge Zhao Feng''s attack.


    "This brat has gotten even stronger!" Divine Emissary Chang''s face chilled.


    But it was pointless. How could Zhao Feng possibly fight back against two Divine Emissaries?


    "I can''t keep this up for long. I have to kill one of them quickly!" Zhao Feng''s face darkened as he analyzed the situation. Even when facing two Divine Emissaries, he was still confident he could win, but killing them would be more difficult. Meowmeow!


    Zhao Feng called out the little thieving cat, and it prepared to enter the battle.


    "Blood Devil Crazed Slash!" Divine Emissary Li wildly flailed around his saber. The massive God-Devil around his body gripped its translucent bloody saber and mimicked his actions.


    Fwooosh!


    Waves of bloody light crisscrossed through the world, creating a storm of blades that swept through the world. Even before this storm arrived, Zhao Feng could feel a murderous fighting intent battering against his mind.


    Fortunately, Zhao Feng had a powerful soul and will that remained unshakable under this assault.


    "Die!" Gripping his swords, Zhao Feng instantly unleashed several hundred waves of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy, these waves of energy linking together to form a massive Tribulation Lightning net.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two titanic energies clashed and gradually wore each other out.


    At this moment, a streak of light shot behind Zhao Feng.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    Divine Emissary Chang swung both arms, releasing massive white blades of energy that cut toward Zhao Feng. These two ethereal white blades seemed to spread silence through the world, slowing down the speed of the space they passed through to an interminable crawl.


    "Primal Chaos Domain!" Zhao Feng unleashed vast amounts of Primal Chaos energy from his body and fused it into the world.


    A moment later, a vast area became dark and gloomy. Everything in this world began to disappear, transforming into torrents of chaotic energy that flew randomly through the region.


    In a flash, the Primal Chaos Domain had been formed. Within this domain, Divine Emissary Li and Divine Emissary Chang immediately felt like their connections to the world had been cut off and their strength weakened.


    Those two Time blades were also affected by this pressure and began to weaken.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Several streams of Primal Chaos energy took form in the Primal Chaos Domain and reached out like thick vines to block the two Time blades.


    Within the Primal Chaos Domain, Zhao Feng could use his thoughts to control the Primal Chaos energy around him.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng unleashed his Time Law to resist Divine Emissary Chang''s Time Law and also to boost his own speed.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng swiftly avoided Divine Emissary Chang''s attacks and attacked Divine Emissary Li.


    Divine Emissary Chang had the Light Race bloodline. With his fast speed and Time Body, he would be rather difficult to kill. In comparison, while the God Martial Race expert was powerful, he would be much easier to kill.


    "Junior, are you looking down on me, taking me to be weak?" Divine Emissary Li''s eyes gleamed with red light. They were attacking Zhao Feng from two sides, but Zhao Feng had chosen to attack him first.


    The two collided in an explosion of energy.


    Clingclang!


    Bloody light and chaotic lightning swept over the world, devastating the surroundings.


    "Heh, in my eyes, you are weak!" Zhao Feng called out, wildly swinging his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords.


    Zhao Feng''s attacks were strengthened within the Primal Chaos Domain, and he could control the chaotic torrents of energy around himself with his mind to serve as a defensive barrier. Thus, he did not fear the Divine Emissary from the God Martial Race and took him on directly. Moreover, his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Divine Power was far stronger than Divine Emissary Li''s Divine Power.


    Boom! Bang!


    In a burst of lightning, the bloody saber light shattered. Divine Emissary Li felt the blood in his body seethe as he fell back.


    "In a one-on-one, I''m no match for him!" Divine Emissary Li''s face darkened.


    At this moment:


    Thwish! Thwish!


    Two Time blades of ethereal white energy swept toward Zhao Feng''s back.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex!" Zhao Feng once more released Primal Chaos energy, forming a pitch-black hole that crackled with lightning.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Divine Emissary Chang''s attack struck the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    A normal defense would have long ago been pierced through by Divine Emissary Chang''s Time attacks, but Primal Chaos energy was not an ordinary kind of energy. It could even somewhat counter Time energy.


    Swish!


    The vast amounts of Tribulation Lightning energy released by the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex wore away at the Time blades. As these Time blades were already weakened by the Primal Chaos Domain, they failed to break through the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    Zhao Feng, having already expected this, ignored the attacks and continued to attack Divine Emissary Li.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" Zhao Feng brought his hands together.


    Countless streams of Primal Chaos energy within the domain began to gather and revolve around Divine Emissary Li.


    "Scram!" Divine Emissary Li roared as he slashed out with his bloody saber, sending an astonishing wave of bloody light that instantly cut a gap through the constricting torrents of energy.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng immediately fired the eye-bloodline technique he had been building up in his left eye.


    Boom! Swish!


    In a burst of lightning, the sword flew forward and pierced through Divine Emissary Li''s chest.


    This terrifying Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy immediately rushed into Divine Emissary Li''s body and began to wreak havoc on his body and soul. Thus, even though Divine Emissary Li had made a hole in the Primal Chaos Lock, he did not immediately escape.


    Zhao Feng used this chance to continue activating the Primal Chaos Lock.


    Bzzzz! Hwoosh!


    More and more streams of energy gathered, creating an encircling sphere of Primal Chaos energy that sealed Divine Emissary Li within.


    Zhao Feng extended a hand.


    Swish!


    Tribulation Lightning energy flooded out of his hand and into the Primal Chaos Lock.


    The damaging and numbing properties of Tribulation Lightning combined with the absorbing properties of Primal Chaos energy attacked Divine Emissary Li, making him unable to break out of the Primal Chaos Lock for the moment.


    "Divine Emissary Li, I''ve come to save you!" Divine Emissary Chang grimaced and immediately charged at Zhao Feng.


    But at this moment, pitch-black tendrils of energy reached out of the Primal Chaos Domain.


    Swooosh!


    A moment later, countless black spikes of energy were stabbing at Divine Emissary Chang. At the same time, the little thieving cat - now pitch-black - shot through the air, exuding a lethal sharpness from its body.


    But Divine Emissary Chang avoided its attack.


    "Shadow Race...!" Divine Emissary Chang''s eyes gleamed. In this environment, the Shadow Race truly did possess impressive might.


    But the little thieving cat''s level was too low for its attacks to have much effect.


    Divine Emissary Chang activated his Light Race bloodline, avoiding the black spikes while also getting closer and closer to Zhao Feng.


    "Moonlight Radiance Slash!" A dazzling white light erupted from Divine Emissary Chang''s body, piercing through the Primal Chaos Domain and the world beyond.


    Bzzzz!


    A terrifying Time energy began to build on his arm, getting stronger and brighter as time went on. At a certain point, a vast and blinding white blade descended from the sky.


    For a moment, everything in the world slowed to a crawl.


    Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng immediately used his own Time Law to dispel the effects of Divine Emissary Chang''s Time Law. At the same time, he created a multilayered Spacetime Barrier around the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    Booom!


    That dazzling white blade descended.


    The Spacetime Barrier held for a few moments before shattering. After all, the Time energy in this attack was incredibly powerful and was able to somewhat neutralize the Spacetime Barrier.


    The Time energy pressed downward and began to assail the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex. As the two mixed together, a slight deformity appeared on the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex and it seemed like it was about to be broken.


    But at this moment, the Primal Chaos Domain surged.


    Bzzzz! Hwoosh!


    Several tendrils of Primal Chaos energy reached out of the domain and connected with the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex. Primal Chaos energy poured into it, allowing the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex to repair the damage dealt and grow even stronger.


    "Okay!" Zhao Feng smiled. He was confident that Divine Emissary Chang was incapable of harming him.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng clenched his hands, instantly forming two Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords, which he stabbed into the Primal Chaos Lock.


    "Ah...!" Divine Emissary Li shrieked in pain.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng once more fired off an eye-bloodline technique from his left eye.


    Booom! Hissss!


    A bolt of dark lightning instantly pierced through the Primal Chaos Lock. This Primal Chaos Lightning Sword dealt yet another destructive blow to Divine Emissary Li.


    "Explode!" Zhao Feng called out.


    The Primal Chaos Lock and the two Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords suddenly began to seethe with forbidden power.


    "No!" Divine Emissary Chang''s eyes widened as he called out in alarm.


    But his attacks were incapable of harming Zhao Feng. The little thieving cat was also hindering Divine Emissary Chang from the shadows. Divine Emissary Chang could only watch helplessly as events played out.


    Boom! Bang!


    Primal Chaos energy swept through the world and then gradually began to settle back down.


    Divine Emissary Li had already ceased to exist.


    The God Martial Race possessed outstanding fighting power and got stronger the more they fought, but their survivability was much lower than the Light Race''s, making them much easier to kill.


    Last time, Zhao Feng needed Twilight Valley''s help to kill Divine Emissary Chang, but now, Zhao Feng, even while being harassed by Divine Emissary Chang, could singlehandedly forcibly execute Divine Emissary Li!

 1531 Killing Another Divine Emissary

    Chapter 1531 - Killing Another Divine Emissary


    Many experts across the battlefield were stunned. Zhao Feng was facing two Divine Emissaries of the Heaven Defying Faction at once, yet he had managed to kill one of them.


    One had to realize that Divine Emissaries were top-class Third Heaven God Lords. Two Divine Emissaries working together was unthinkably difficult to deal with.


    The Sacred Land members were ecstatic. After all, the power of the Divine Emissaries posed an enormous threat to them. Zhao Feng had only been in the battle for a little while, but he had already killed one Divine Emissary.


    "To think that he''s this powerful!" Divine Emissary Chang became frightened and afraid.


    Even when the two of them were working together, Divine Emissary Li was still killed. Not even the strongest of the seven Divine Emissaries, Divine Emissary Wu, was strong to that level. Now that he was alone, how was sticking around no different from death?


    Swish!


    Divine Emissary Chang''s body began to radiate ripples of light, and he soon shot off into the distance.


    "Want to leave?" Zhao Feng naturally would not let Divine Emissary Chang go.


    The Heaven Defying Faction''s Divine Emissaries had a rather large influence on the battlefield. Even if the battle entered its final and most important phase, the strength of the Divine Emissaries would still play a critical role. Thus, if he had a chance, Zhao Feng would kill any Divine Emissary he came across.


    Thwish!


    Circulating his Spacetime Law, Zhao Feng shot off in pursuit of Divine Emissary Chang.


    He left behind the little thieving cat to fight on the battlefield. This chaotic battlefield was a perfect place for the little thieving cat. With its various abilities, not even a Divine Emissary could easily capture it, so Zhao Feng could be at ease.


    Two streaks of light flew through the battlefield. The one at the front was the Light Race member of the Heaven Defying Faction''s Divine Emissaries, Divine Emissary Chang. The one pursuing from the back was Zhao Feng.


    The distance between the two was gradually shrinking.


    Speed had always been one of Zhao Feng''s strong points, and his skills in this area far exceeded the norm. He also had his Spacetime Law, with his Space Law having reached the peak of the early stage and his Time Law also at the early stage.


    "What''s going on? This kid''s speed...!" Divine Emissary Chang was ghastly pale, and he had broken out in a cold sweat. He could keenly sense the pressure and danger behind him getting closer and closer.


    Swoosh swoosh!


    During the pursuit, Zhao Feng repeatedly swung his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword, sending wave after wave of energy howling forward.


    Divine Emissary Chang did not dare to take on these attacks directly, so he could only dodge.


    However, Zhao Feng''s attack range was extremely large, and his attacks were infused with a Spacetime Law. As those Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy waves swept past Divine Emissary Chang, the Spacetime Law energy within them would affect him.


    If not for the fact that Divine Emissary Chang was himself very skilled in the Time Laws, Zhao Feng would have already caught up.


    He was doing his best to resist the Spacetime Law, but he was still unable to completely escape its effects.


    "I''ll be killed!" Divine Emissary Chang was terrified.


    If he died this time, the chances of his revival were extremely low. The losses in this battle were enormous, and the Third Heaven Eye of Samsara required a great deal of power to revive a Third Heaven expert and needed to rest.


    In addition, the Heaven Lord''s plan had reached its final phase. Once this battle was over, they would no longer be useful, so there was a big question mark on whether or not they could be revived.


    And even if he was revived, after being killed by Zhao Feng twice, he wouldn''t have any dignity left.


    "Save me!" Divine Emissary Chang immediately flew over to a nearby Divine Emissary and asked for help.


    A white-robed old woman was fiercely battling with Xin Wuheng.


    Xin Wuheng had broken into the Third Heaven not very long ago, so the white-robed old woman was firmly suppressing him.


    However, the old woman received a message at this time and could also sense two powerful energies rapidly approaching. Looking over, she instantly grimaced.


    Divine Emissary Chang is drawing Zhao Feng over to me! The old woman silently cursed.


    She was even weaker than Divine Emissary Li and Divine Emissary Chang. Zhao Feng had managed to forcibly execute Divine Emissary Li, so wasn''t going to Divine Emissary Chang simply suicidal?


    Thwish!


    The old woman immediately fell back a great distance. Xin Wuheng used this chance to pursue, sending one mighty attack after another howling at the old woman.


    Divine Emissary Chang saw this sight and felt like he wanted to stomp his feet on the ground in rage. They were both Divine Emissaries, but she refused to assist him in his time of need.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng saw his chance and fired a bolt of lightning from his left eye.


    Booom! Hisss!


    With a thunderous explosion, the dark Primal Chaos Lightning Sword pierced through Divine Emissary Chang''s chest, immediately sending Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy surging through his body.


    Hiss... Divine Emissary Chang gripped his chest and gasped in pain. Even with his Time Body, he could not endure Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Sword.


    But with his life at stake, Divine Emissary Chang did not dare tarry. He immediately fled to seek help from others.


    Alas, wherever Divine Emissary Chang went, the members of the Heaven Defying Faction treated him like the plague god and fled.


    God King Radiant Peak couldn''t help but smile at this sight.


    "Zhao Feng is basically invincible among Third Heavens. In my Sacred Land, there''s no one below the God who can fight with him!" God King Radiant Peak couldn''t help but voice his praise.


    The Sacred Land actually had one or two people who could contend with Zhao Feng''s current level of strength, but God King Radiant Peak had to consider Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye, which is why he said as such.


    Zhao Feng''s performance on the battlefield was extremely intimidating to the Heaven Defying Faction and raised the morale of the Sacred Land.


    "Not good! That person is approaching Zhao Feng!" God King Radiant Peak was suddenly startled.


    His Divine Sense had been covering the battlefield this entire time to observe the situation. At present, the strongest member of the Heaven Defying Faction was a seemingly ordinary old man wearing a white robe. But there was nothing ordinary about this strength. God King Radiant Peak knew that this person was the leader of the Divine Emissaries.


    At this time, two of the senior Third Heaven God Lords of the Sacred Land were working together to fight with this old man, but they were still not his match.


    God King Radiant Peak immediately ordered the God Lords of the Sacred Land to delay this elder.


    Elsewhere, Divine Emissary Chang was covered in wounds, his robe in tatters.


    "Mm? Killing intent!" Zhao Feng suddenly sensed a dreadful killing intent.


    Looking around with his left eye, he spotted a white-robed old man.


    "It''s him?" Zhao Feng was astonished.


    When Beiming Hui brought him back to the Heaven Defying Faction, the first person he saw was this elder with a rather ordinary appearance and genial attitude. Zhao Feng felt at the time that this elder was stronger than Beiming Hui, and later on, he realized that this person was the leader of the seven Divine Emissaries.


    "That person isn''t easy to deal with. I have to finish off the Light Race Divine Emissary before he gets here!" Zhao Feng focused, astonishing energy erupting from his body.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng suddenly sped up.


    Divine Emissary Chang trembled in fright at this sight, and he activated his Light Race bloodline and prepared to escape.


    "Dreamification!" Zhao Feng''s left eye unleashed dreamy mist along with incredible Eye Intent.


    A dazzling dreamy color appeared on the boundless battlefield.


    Bzzz!


    This dreamy hue instantly spread out to cover an area of more than one hundred thousand li. In this area, everyone felt their condition plunge while an inexplicable danger appeared in their hearts. Of course, Zhao Feng was primarily targeting Divine Emissary Chang.


    In this Dreamified world, Divine Emissary Chang suffered the greatest effects. Even his Light Race blood was somewhat suppressed, but this did not affect the secret escape art he was using.


    "Extinguish!" Zhao Feng''s left eye pierced through Divine Emissary Chang''s body, seeing everything within.


    His left eye focused on Divine Emissary Chang''s burning Light Race blood. He began to circulate Thought power while focusing on a single thought.


    Whoosh!


    That burning Light Race blood vanished. Divine Emissary Chang''s secret art was interrupted.


    "What''s going on? My bloodline energy disappeared!" Divine Emissary Chang panicked. This was simply far too bizarre.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng used this chance to fiercely swing his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords.


    Two massive waves of energy crackling with Tribulation Lightning shot forward, exuding a devouring forcefield that absorbed the surrounding energy of the world.


    "Oh no!" Divine Emissary Chang''s body couldn''t help but tremble in fear in the face of this powerful attack.


    He once more burned his Light Race bloodline in an attempt to escape Zhao Feng''s attack, but the binds of Dreamification and the effects of the Spacetime Law greatly hindered Divine Emissary Chang''s actions.


    Boom! Bang!


    The waves of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy landed, creating a vast explosion.


    A shockwave swept through the region. Everyone within a range of tens of thousands of li was caught up in this shockwave and vomited blood.


    When the dust settled, the shattered figure of the heavily injured Divine Emissary Chang was revealed.


    Although Divine Emissary Chang had not managed to dodge the attack, at the crucial moment, he managed to avoid a lethal strike.


    At this moment:


    "Zhao Feng, you dare!?" A furious roar came from the distance.


    A white-robed elder was rapidly approaching Zhao Feng, even though he was being hindered by two Third Heaven God Lords.


    "Divine Emissary Wu, save me!" The despairing Divine Emissary Chang immediately saw a ray of hope in Divine Emissary Wu.


    But Zhao Feng would not permit this to happen.


    Boom! Swish!


    Another bolt of lightning shot out of Zhao Feng''s left eye and pierced through Divine Emissary Chang''s head. At the same time, he circulated his Thought power and focused on Divine Emissary Chang''s body.


    Whoosh!


    A moment later, Divine Emissary Chang''s body began to disperse.


    At the moment when he was struck by the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword, Divine Emissary Chang''s resistance was at its weakest. This was when Dreamification activated, utterly wiping him from existence.


    At this moment, Divine Emissary Wu arrived. Behind him, the two God Lords from the Life Sacred Land smiled.


    "He''s dead now!" Zhao Feng turned to face Divine Emissary Wu.


    This Divine Emissary Wu was definitely an invincible existence among sub-God-King experts. He was much stronger than any other Divine Emissary Zhao Feng had encountered. Thus, Zhao Feng had to kill Divine Emissary Chang before facing this man.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s work together to kill this man!" the Third Heaven God Lords of the Life Sacred Land messaged.


    These two senior Third Heavens were not able to gain any advantage against Divine Emissary Wu, a fact that left them very depressed. However, they could see that, with Zhao Feng''s strength, the three of them could easily kill Divine Emissary Wu.

 1532 Demon God Race

    Chapter 1532 - Demon God Race


    "Zhao Feng, let''s work together to kill this man!" the Third Heaven God Lords of the Life Sacred Land messaged.


    "The two of you, don''t interfere. Let me deal with him alone," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    "What?" The Sacred Land God Lords were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to their feet.


    Zhao Feng was regarding himself too highly, was he not? This man was someone that the two of them together couldn''t handle, and now, Zhao Feng was saying that he would take him alone? Was he looking down on them?


    "The victory of the Life Sacred Land is of utmost importance!" Zhao Feng added.


    The two Third Heaven God Lords thought it over and finally nodded. Even with the help of Zhao Feng and his allies, the Sacred Land was still on the back foot. If Zhao Feng could hold down this Divine Emissary Wu, the two Third Heaven God Lords could go relieve pressure elsewhere on the battlefield.


    Third Heavens were the peak fighting forces at present. Two of them being freed up would have significant influence on the overall situation.


    "Then be careful!" One of the God Lords, a green-haired elder, gave one last word of warning, and then the pair withdrew.


    Divine Emissary Wu and Zhao Wan engaged in a distant standoff. The area for tens of thousands of li around the pair became devoid of people.


    "This Wu must express admiration for your daring. You actually dare to face me alone?" Divine Emissary Wu coldly smiled.


    Zhao Feng said nothing, but his body seethed with fighting intent.


    He had killed Divine Emissary Chang twice and had also killed Divine Emissary Li and Beiming Hui. Ordinary Divine Emissaries no longer interested Zhao Feng. He needed an equal foe, or even one who could somewhat pressure him. Only this could stimulate the potential of the Ninth God Eye.


    After all, Zhao Feng was already at the peak of the Second Heaven. It wouldn''t be long before he could use all the strength of the God Eye!


    You will pay a heavy price for your arrogance!" Divine Emissary Wu''s expression instantly chilled, and evil intent began to radiate from his body that made the entire world darken.


    Boom!


    A tyrannical and ancient bloodline energy erupted from his body, bringing with it an evil will that grew fiercer as time went on. This bloodline energy surged into the sky, accompanied by a black-violet torrent that made space itself tremble.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The bloodline energy and black-violet energy began to circle around Divine Emissary Wu. Divine Emissary Wu''s skin and body also began to change, fusing with the torrent of energy.


    "What''s going on!?" Everyone for a range of more than one hundred thousand li was shaken by this bloodline energy, their own bloodlines trembling in fear and impossible to circulate. A fear emerged from the very depths of their blood.


    The Divine Emissaries of the Heaven Defying Faction were all started.


    "Divine Emissary Wu is going to use his full strength!"


    Divine Emissary Wu was the strongest of the seven Divine Emissaries, and one of the reasons for this was the powerful bloodline he had fused with.


    "What a powerful bloodline energy!" Zhao Feng turned nervous and his face turned solemn.


    Even his Primal Chaos energy was slightly trembling, and within the God Eye Dimension, the dreamy silver ball was growing increasingly agitated.


    Within the Life Sacred Land, God King Radiant Peak and the Life God were also startled.


    "This domineering and evil bloodline energy should be the 4th ranked... Demon God Race!" God King Radiant Peak''s heart sank.


    The 4th ranked Demon God Race was a terrifying race, a race of devils that also possessed the God-Devil Body. It was said that, in the Ancient Era, this race had attempted many times to challenge the Ancient Race, but it failed each time. Regardless, the 4th ranked Demon God Race was definitely the strongest combat race besides the Ancient Race.


    "Demon God Race, hm?" Zhao Feng recalled this 4th ranked race.


    "With my Demon God Race bloodline, I am essentially on par with you, who cannot completely use your God Eye''s power, but the gap in cultivation ensures your defeat." Divine Emissary Wu''s face was indifferent, but his gigantic black and violet God-Devil body radiated a tyrannical and evil pressure.


    "Then let''s try it out!" Zhao Feng''s fighting intent was only further stimulated by this immense pressure.


    Back when Zhao Feng was facing Yu Heng, who had possessed the Ancient Race bloodline, his God''s Spiritual Eye was stimulated into evolving. This time, Divine Emissary Wu''s Demon God Race bloodline seemed to be having a similar effect.


    "Haha!" Divine Emissary Wu savagely laughed.


    The current him exuded demonic and tyrannical pressure with every move. He was a peerless demon god, completely different from the ordinary and mediocre aura he exuded before.


    "Demonheaven Palm!" Divine Emissary Wu suddenly attacked, a black-violet light gathering in his right hand and shooting forward.


    Boom!


    A massive black energy palm seething with demonic energy hurtled through space as it flew at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng turned his palm over, revealing a dark metallic fragment; this was a Primal Chaos Ancestral Artifact fragment. Zhao Feng had not used it in his battles with Divine Emissary Li and Divine Emissary Chang because they were not qualified to make Zhao Feng use it.


    As he gripped the Ancestral Artifact fragment, Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies surged, gathering into a gigantic Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two attacks fiercely clashed, the terrifying energies wearing away at each other. A black-violet lightning storm engulfed the region.


    "What powerful energy!"


    Zhao Feng had used both hands to wield the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword, but he still felt extremely hard- pressed. If he didn''t have the Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy, he would have been incapable of directly fighting with Divine Emissary Wu.


    "Heh, not bad. Without using the God Eye''s power, you can still match my blow?" Divine Emissary Wu laughed, his attitude inspiring dread and awe.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng activated the two Space Ancestral Artifact fragments and one Time Ancestral Artifact fragment in his Spacetime Robe.


    Swoosh! Swish!


    A massive silver blade cut across the black demon palm. At the same time, he put more power into the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword and obliterated the demon palm. Zhao Feng immediately used the devouring trait of Primal Chaos energy to absorb some of the Demon God Race energy.


    Thwish!


    The silver blade continued onward, streaking toward Divine Emissary Wu.


    "Hmph!" Divine Emissary Wu snorted, unleashing his tyrannical and demonic strength and forming a black and twisted fog of energy around him.


    As the silver blade cut through it, it was worn down and weakened by this power.


    Kacrack!


    The dimmed silver blade sliced into Divine Emissary Wu''s body, but as it cut deeper, the silver blade rapidly weakened until it eventually disappeared. Divine Emissary Wu''s wound then took less than one second to heal.


    "The God-Devil Body of the Demon God Race can''t compare to the Ancient Race''s, but it is extraordinary in its own way!" Divine Emissary Wu brashly laughed.


    He was invincible in both offense and defense. Zhao Feng could do nothing to him.


    Thwish!


    The space under Divine Emissary Wu''s feet suddenly twisted, and with a thump, Divine Emissary Wu charged at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was naturally not an idiot. He would not engage in close combat with Divine Emissary Wu''s God-Devil Body. He activated his Spacetime Law and flew away.


    As he dodged, he also swung his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Boom! Bang!


    When that sword struck the demonic black body of Divine Emissary Wu, it caused his body to tremble, and a bloody wound appeared on his shoulder.


    "It''s gotten stronger? You''ve absorbed some of my Darkfiend energy?" Divine Emissary Wu''s face turned stern. Black- violet energy surged up and slowly began to heal the wound on his shoulder.


    This was not important. Even if Zhao Feng''s attacks were a little stronger, they were still of little effect on his God- Devil Body.


    "Demonheaven Palm!" Divine Emissary Wu gathered his Darkfiend energy and unleashed a tyrannical palm that could suppress the heavens.


    "Primal Chaos Domain!" Zhao Feng unleashed his Primal Chaos energy, transforming this region of the world into one of Primal Chaos.


    As the Demonheaven Palm approached, Zhao Feng used all the energy of the Primal Chaos Domain to resist it.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The pair''s battlefield became a forbidden ground. Just seeing that terrifying storm of energy from a distance was enough to make one''s courage fail.


    "Dreamification!" Grimacing, Zhao Feng used his Origin energy. Passively taking attacks was not his style.


    The forbidden region was covered in dazzling dreamy colors. The demonic palm instantly weakened.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng used his Primal Chaos Lightning Sword and the power of the Primal Chaos Domain to shatter it in a single blow.


    Meanwhile, Divine Emissary Wu came up to attack Zhao Feng.


    Within the range of Dreamification, even Divine Emissary Wu''s God-Devil Body was affected. With the assistance of the Dreamification and the Primal Chaos Domain, Zhao Feng was able to clash with Divine Emissary Wu for a short period of time.


    Primal Chaos energy was powerful on the offensive and defensive. Coupled with Zhao Feng''s advantage in speed, he could evenly fight with Divine Emissary Wu.


    "Hmph, Darkfiend God Hand!" Divine Emissary Wu''s brow furrowed, and he gathered his Darkfiend energy and thrust out a palm.


    He was somewhat confused. Although he had attained fifty percent fusion with his Demon God Race bloodline, it seemed to not be that effective in resisting Zhao Feng''s Dreamification. The further disruption of the Primal Chaos Domain made him feel like he was fighting in mud.


    Thus, he built up his strength into a single supreme strike.


    A demonic palm circled by black-violet streams of energy hurtled forward like a flying mountain.


    "I was waiting for this!" Zhao Feng instantly focused his left eye on Divine Emissary Wu''s attack.


    "God Eye Duplication!" Dreamy mist erupted from the left eye, engulfing the massive hand.


    Only by duplicating his enemy''s attack could he effectively damage his foe.


    While duplicating this attack, Zhao Feng used the energy of the Primal Chaos Domain to slow it down as much as possible.


    "It''s useless!" Divine Emissary Wu gave a brash and domineering laugh.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    All the Primal Chaos energy that tried to stop the demonic hand was obliterated.


    But at this moment, Zhao Feng''s left eye pulsed and drew back its energy. The duplication was complete.


    God Eye Illusory Oblivion! Zhao Feng once more used a Dream Origin eye-bloodline technique.


    The demonic hand was gradually covered in a layer of dreamy color. A moment later, the now-dazzling demonic hand began to fade out of existence.


    "What? My attack!" Divine Emissary Wu was stunned. Although he knew that Zhao Feng possessed this kind of ability, he did not believe that it would be effective against his Darkfiend energy.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng shot a Primal Chaos Lightning Sword out of his left eye.


    Divine Emissary Wu''s face darkened as he swung a hand to block it.


    God Eye Duplication: Darkfiend God Hand!


    Zhao Feng sent out his Soul Intent, and an enormous dreamy silver eye appeared in the sky behind Divine Emissary Wu.


    Bzzz!


    Dreamy mist burst out from it, and then a gigantic Darkfiend God Hand seething with demonic energy hurtled out of the mist.


    "Oh no!" Divine Emissary Wu grimaced, and he used his other hand to gather the black-violet torrents of energy into a gigantic wall.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Darkfiend God Hand and the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword attacked Divine Emissary Wu from two different angles. Black-violet demonic energy and Primal Chaos lightning exploded outward, tearing several giant holes in the fabric of space.


    Many people on the battlefield were entranced by this battle between Divine Emissary Wu and Zhao Feng.


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Feng was powerful enough to fight equally with Divine Emissary Wu!" The remaining Divine Emissaries were stunned.


    "What''s the situation?" Xin Wuheng was more worried about the actual battle. Would Zhao Feng actually be able to defeat the strongest Divine Emissary?

 1533 The Illusion God Race Descends

    Chapter 1533 - The Illusion God Race Descends


    Many people across the entire battlefield were entranced by the battle between Zhao Feng and Divine Emissary Wu. This was essentially the clash between the strongest experts of both sides.


    God King Radiant Peak and the Life God were also placing much of their attention on this battle.


    "Whether Zhao Feng wins or loses, it''s enough as long as he holds down this Demon God Race expert." God King Radiant Peak took in a deep breath.


    Zhao Feng alone holding down Divine Emissary Wu had freed up two senior Third Heavens of the Sacred Land. The pressure on the Sacred Land across the battlefield was greatly reduced, and they were slowly beginning to recover lost ground. The balance of power between the Life Sacred Land and the Heaven Defying Faction was now equal.


    Brrrooom!


    At the center of the explosion, space had fractured, and black-violet lightning ran rampant.


    Divine Emissary Wu''s back was in tatters while a hole that was difficult to heal had appeared in his chest. The defense that he had erected in haste wasn''t enough to block the duplicated Darkfiend God Hand.


    But Divine Emissary Wu was even more surprised over the fact that Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique was able to inflict so much damage to him. Logically speaking, no matter how strong that eye-bloodline technique was, it should have only been able to inflict a minor wound that would need only a few moments to heal.


    But in reality, the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword had pierced through his God-Devil Body and inflicted major injuries, ones that were rather difficult to heal.


    "Is this because of the Ninth God Eye?" Divine Emissary Wu''s expression turned grim.


    At this moment, Divine Emissary Wu sensed danger approaching once more.


    Thwish!


    Another bolt of lightning appeared before him. Yet another Primal Chaos Lightning Sword stabbed into Divine Emissary Wu''s body.


    Zhao Feng''s left eye let him see everything without obstruction. He noticed that his eye-bloodline technique was rather effective against Divine Emissary Wu''s God-Devil Body. It was for this reason that he used it again.


    And after suffering that first round of attacks, Divine Emissary Wu had not recovered yet and was struck again.


    Hiss... Divine Emissary Wu hissed in pain. It had been a very long time since he last experienced such pain.


    "I have to defeat him as quickly as possible!" Divine Emissary Wu focused.


    Boom!


    Divine Emissary Wu charged out of the remnants of the explosion, wrapped in domineering evil intent as he charged Zhao Feng.


    "It seems like the Dream God Eye is effective against you!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    The Dream God Eye had reached the God Eye level some time ago, and it was improving in various aspects all the time, with Zhao Feng becoming more and more capable of using its abilities. As long as Zhao Feng used his Dream God Eye to fire his eye-bloodline techniques, they would all be infused with its Origin energy. This might have been the reason Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques were surprisingly effective against the God-Devil Body.


    In addition, perhaps it was partially due to his desires; he hoped that his eye-bloodline technique would be effective against Divine Emissary Wu, and this hope was being realized as much as it possibly could.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng shot backward while activating his Realization ability.


    Zhao Feng had become so proficient with some of his lower-level eye-bloodline techniques that he could instantly use them with his Realization ability. Some of these instant-fire eye-bloodline techniques instantaneously arrived at Divine Emissary Wu''s body.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    A string of eye-bloodline attacks struck Divine Emissary Wu, dealing him a heavy blow.


    "Junior... you...!" Divine Emissary Wu''s face went stiff.


    Zhao Feng was using eye-bloodline techniques far too quickly and didn''t seem to be putting too much of his mind to the task. While using these eye-bloodline techniques, he was even able to maintain a set distance.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng''s left eye once more unleashed a dark bolt of lightning.


    The moment he fired the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword, his left eye also radiated a dreamy light.


    Power... increase... Zhao Feng focused on the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword and coalesced his Thought power onto a single thought.


    The Primal Chaos Lightning Sword instantly increased in size, the lightning becoming more dazzling and its energy more terrifying.


    Boom! Plush!


    The Primal Chaos Lightning Sword with its power increased thundered into Divine Emissary Wu''s chest, blasting apart the black-violet skin and leaving a large hole.


    Divine Emissary Wu''s face turned red and he vomited blood, but the demonic energy on his body grew even more powerful, stirring up the world and even affecting the mental state of others on the battlefield.


    The Demon God Race was a race that excelled in combat. The greater their hatred, the more power they could display.


    "Demonfiend Eye!" Divine Emissary Wu gathered up demonic energy into his eyes and unleashed it.


    It was rumored that the Demon God Race possessed Demon Eyes that could be used to turn people into demons, causing them to lose all rationality and become nothing more than bloodthirsty monsters.


    Fwooosh!


    A domineering stream of black-violet energy surged toward Zhao Feng. Divine Emissary Wu''s Demonfiend Eye was a soul attack; it moved with incredible speed and almost instantly struck Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s head swayed as his soul was invaded by demonic energy that caused evil thoughts to emerge in his mind.


    When such an extremely frightening evil thought emerged in the mind of a normal person, they would truly find it very difficult to control it alone.


    But Zhao Feng was not an ordinary person.


    Disappear... disappear... His formidable will allowed him to maintain a clear mind so that he could circulate the power of Realization.


    Dreamy light suffused his Lightning Soul Body. Gradually, the evil thoughts in Zhao Feng''s mind began to disappear.


    Divine Emissary Wu, seeing that his attack had succeeded, rushed up to Zhao Feng, but suddenly, Zhao Feng opened his calm eyes and stared straight at Divine Emissary Wu.


    "Flame Soul Devil Eye!" A dark red Eye Intent instantly shot toward Divine Emissary Wu.


    The Flame Soul Devil Eye could seep in through the flaws in one''s soul and widen them, affecting their senses and mental state to conjure up their fears.


    Divine Emissary Wu was an experienced expert, and he immediately identified what this eye-bloodline technique did. He hardened his mind and fended off the invasion of this power. And since his soul body and divine body were one, he was incredibly resistant to this kind of attack.


    But Realization could create a small opening in even the most perfect of defenses. While using Realization, Zhao Feng sent a sliver of Eye Intent into Divine Emissary Wu''s body.


    Divine Emissary Wu began to shiver all over, and frenzied demonic energy began to emanate from his body.


    The Demon God Race was a race that innately possessed an inclination toward madness. Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique had exploited this point, disturbing Divine Emissary Wu''s mind and rationality.


    Zhao Feng used this chance to launch a furious assault on Divine Emissary Wu.


    Boom! Bang!


    He gripped the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords and wildly slashed at Divine Emissary Wu.


    As Divine Emissary Wu was still not of a clear mind, he was unable to accurately counterattack.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    One attack after another landed on Divine Emissary Wu''s body, Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies wreaking havoc upon him. Divine Emissary Wu''s bloodline energy gradually began to weaken, by which time Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique had ceased to have an effect. But by now, Divine Emissary Wu knew that he was no longer any match for Zhao Feng.


    Thwish!


    Divine Emissary Wu immediately retreated.


    The defeat of Divine Emissary Wu caused the Sacred Land members to cheer. The morale of the Life Sacred Land soared while the will of the Heaven Defying Faction''s experts was shaken. They found it rather difficult to believe that Divine Emissary Wu had lost to a peak Second Heaven.


    "This old scoundrel is rather smart!" Zhao Feng did not pursue.


    Divine Emissary Wu was still in his God-Devil Body, which possessed impressive defensive capabilities that made him very difficult to kill. If Divine Emissary Wu had lost his head in rage and decided to fight to the death with Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng would just need to wait until he exhausted the Demon God Race bloodline, upon which Zhao Feng would do all he could to kill him.


    After fighting these major battles, Zhao Feng decided to retreat for now.


    "The Heaven Defying Faction definitely has some unexpected trump card...." Zhao Feng remained grim. The Heaven Defying Faction would have never attacked a Sacred Land led by a God if this was not the case.


    "Haha, Friend Zhao, your divine might is truly unmatched!" God King Radiant Peak cheerfully laughed.


    He had only wanted Zhao Feng to hold down Divine Emissary Wu while the two Third Heaven God Lords slowly worked to turn the tides of battle. He didn''t expect Zhao Feng to actually defeat Divine Emissary Wu.


    The Sacred Land''s morale had soared, and instead of being on the back foot, they now had a slight advantage - one that would only increase as the battle went on.


    Zhao Feng stood to the side and began to recover. The battle would not end just like this, so he needed to be in his best condition.


    Outside the Life Sacred Land, the fierce battle continued on all sides. The Life Sacred Land had already succeeded in pushing back the Heaven Defying Faction a vast distance.


    "A Sacred Land is a Sacred Land for a reason!" the Heaven Lord proudly stood in the sky and suddenly declared.


    The Life God said nothing. She did not think the battle would be over so quickly.


    "The Life Sacred Land has its allies, and we also have quite a few allies. They''ve been aching to enter the battle this entire time!" The Heaven Lord loudly laughed.


    The Life God and God King Radiant Peak turned grim at these words. That the Heaven Defying Faction had allies was truly bad news.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    Space Law ripples appeared in the sky, distorting the world. Gradually, several figures emerged. Their leader was a black-robed elder with a waterfall of black hair and a pair of cold and sinister eyes. A supreme energy exuded from his body, startling the entire battlefield.


    "God King!" the God Lords on the battlefield called out in shock.


    It was finally time for God Kings to step onto the stage.


    "Isn''t this the Illusion God Sacred Land''s God King Nethercloud?" God King Radiant Peak was astonished.


    God King Nethercloud was the God King of the Chixing Zone. He was renowned far and wide, and God King Radiant Peak had met him several times


    The people behind God King Nethercloud were God Lords of the Illusion God Race.


    "Illusion God Sacred Land, God King Nethercloud?" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Didn''t the Heaven Defying Faction conquer the Illusion God Sacred Land? It seemed like things were not as simple as they seemed.


    The Life God''s brow also creased. The enemies were a small portion of the Illusion God Sacred Land''s upper echelon members. If this faction entered the battle, the fragile advantage the Life Sacred Land had created would instantly crumble.


    "It''s still not over, haha!" The Heaven Lord''s voice rang out once more.


    Swish!


    Another spatial passage appeared in the s¡©_ A blurry figure appeared, and then it rapidly expanded until it was as b as a mountain.


    This gigantic figure was completely pitch-black. It had the body of a Qilin and was covered in bizarre and evil diagrams. Nine savage heads sprouted from its neck, each with dark purple eyes that exuded an intimidating evil light.


    Roooooar!


    The bizarre and ancient beast opened its nine mouths and bellowed, its roars seeming to come from the underworld itself. The nine heads were abnormally intelligent, their dark purple eyes staring at various parts of the battlefield and radiating an energy that instilled fear in all who beheld them.

 1534 The Nightmare Beast King

    Chapter 1534 - The Nightmare Beast King


    The descent of the Illusion God Race''s God King as well as the savage and dreadful ancient beast intimidated the entire battlefield. Even God King Radiant Peak and the Life God furrowed their brows in concern.


    "This ancient beast, could it be that one sealed within the Illusion God Sacred Land - the Nightmare Beast King?" God King Radiant Peak guessed at this ancient beast''s background, but the idea only made him more uneasy.


    One God King Nethercloud was hard enough to deal with. Together with the Nightmare Beast King, they were nigh impossible to deal with. When it came to the Dream Dao, the Nightmare Beast King had unquestionably far surpassed the Illusion God Race.


    However, the Nightmare Beast King had never been willing to yield, so it was sealed in the Illusion God Sacred Land. Why did it seem to have been tamed now?


    "The Nightmare Beast King and God King Nethercloud are both probably being controlled!" The Life God''s eyes gleamed.


    "Correct!" Zhao Feng''s left eye was also focused on God King Nethercloud''s group and the Nightmare Beast King. He could see strange soul marks and soul arrays within their bodies, even within the Nightmare Beast King.


    They were probably under the control of the Heaven Defying Faction, forced to do its bidding.


    But the Heaven Lord and the Left Protector didn''t show any signs of irregularity. This meant that there were other experts doing the controlling from within the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom.


    Thwish!


    God King Nethercloud sorrowfully sighed and then shot into the battlefield. The other Illusion God Race members immediately followed.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Seeing this, the Sacred Land members retreated. God Kings were Third Heaven God Lords, and no one dared to carelessly fight against such experts.


    Boom! Bang!


    A supreme Divine Power rumbled forth. As the earth crumbled, several thousand people were instantly slain as everything caught in the blast zone was vaporized.


    When a God King attacked, the members of the Sacred Land were powerless and could only be slaughtered.


    "Your Excellency, we can only retreat and defend now!" God King Radiant Peak grimaced and looked to the Life God for orders.


    The sudden appearance of the Illusion God Race and the Nightmare Beast King had far exceeded the ability of the Sacred Land to counter. Unless God King Radiant Peak and the Life God themselves took action, they could not fight back.


    "There''s no rush. A friend of mine coming over," the Life God calmly replied.


    Unless it was absolutely necessary, the Life Sacred Land would never retreat!


    God King Radiant Peak appeared delighted. Anyone who could be called a friend of the Life God undoubtedly possessed immense strength.


    Thwish!


    A green light shot out of the Life God''s forehead and drifted into the core of the Life Tree.


    There were eighteen array masters here working together to operate the Sacred Land''s array. The green light the Life God released entered the mind of one of the array masters.


    "An outsider is entering the Sacred Land at these coordinates. Let them through!" The eighteen array masters shared this information and began to change the array.


    Bzzz! Swish!


    A spatial passage appeared within the Sacred Land, and a golden figure flew in through it. If one stared, one would see that this was a man wearing a golden kasaya and radiating a golden Buddhist aura that seemed capable of expelling all evil.


    "Master Emptiness!" God King Radiant Peak immediately recognized this man.


    Master Emptiness was the God King of the Buddha Sacred Land in the southern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Master Emptiness had once been pursued by a God King of the Devil Dao. The two battled for one hundred days before the Devil Dao God King decided to die together with Master Emptiness. However, Master Emptiness was more skilled and managed to preserve a part of his soul body. Later on, with the Life God''s treatment, he needed less than one hundred years to recover.


    Master Emptiness looked at the battlefield outside the Sacred Land with a look of pity.


    "Emptiness, please help us!" the Life God spoke in her gentle voice.


    "That is this lowly monk''s duty!" Master Emptiness showed no fear and resolutely charged into the fray.


    Bzzzzz! Broooom!


    Buddhist light instantly illuminated the area outside the Sacred Land, and a profound golden Buddhist word slammed into God King Nethercloud.


    God King Nethercloud was no easy customer, and his body transformed into a five-colored cloud as he battled with Master Emptiness.


    The battle of the two God Kings caused the entire region to quake. Those nearby could only retreat, not daring to get too close to a battle of God Kings.


    "Fortunately, Master Emptiness arrived on time!" God King Radiant Peak wiped away his cold sweat.


    If Master Emptiness had not come, he would have had to enter the battlefield. However, the Heaven Lord was still on the sidelines, together with his unfathomable Protector. If God King Radiant Peak battled with God King Nethercloud, and then the Protector - who was also a God King - entered the fray, the situation would be very bad.


    "But this Nightmare Beast King..." One of the Sacred Land''s upper echelon members grimly looked over.


    Master Emptiness''s prompt arrival had suppressed God King Nethercloud, but what about the Nightmare Beast King? The Nightmare Beast King''s cultivation was extremely close to the God King level, and its Dream Dao abilities and immense attack range made it extremely difficult to deal with.


    Roooooar!


    The nine heads of the Nightmare Beast King savagely roared, unleashing a dark and bizarre halo. This dark halo blanketed the world like the fall of night.


    Anyone who was struck by his dark halo would find their minds thrown into disarray, their energies escaping their control. Those of lower cultivation came to a stop, a look of struggle appearing on their faces, but a few moments later, they would fall silent and fall to the ground, clearly suffering from some nightmare.


    "What dreadful power!" Twilight Valley was alarmed.


    The Nightmare Beast King''s power covered a little less than half of the battlefield, and its effects were simply astounding.


    The Nightmare Beast King''s powers did not differentiate friend from foe; the Heaven Defying Faction members had also suffered from its effects. However, the Nightmare Beast King''s attack had mostly covered the Life Sacred Land''s forces, so more of its members were struck by it.


    "What do we do about this?" God King Radiant Peak was greatly concerned.


    Other than him and the Life God, there was no one else in the Life Sacred Land who could deal with the Nightmare Beast King.


    "Let me try!" Zhao Feng abruptly said.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t mess around. The Nightmare Beast King is nearly a God King. It''s much stronger than that Demon God Race expert, and its skills are impossible to defend against!" God King Radiant Peak immediately said.


    Zhao Feng was an important fighting power for the Life Sacred Land. He could not be so easily thrown away.


    "Relax. I will not fight it directly." After saying this, Zhao Feng charged out.


    Meowmeow!


    On Zhao Feng''s shoulder, the little thieving cat looked at the Nightmare Beast King and gestured at Zhao Feng.


    This Nightmare Beast King had been sealed by the Illusion God Sacred Land for countless years. Though it was under the control of the Heaven Defying Faction, it was still trying to fight back against the marks and arrays binding its soul.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng reached the battlefield, and he released a blue and chilly mist from his God''s Spiritual Eye. This frigid Soul energy enveloped the Sacred Land''s forces.


    This cold mist stimulated the souls of those it touched, causing them to return to normal. Those who had been plunged into nightmares were also awakened by this cold Soul energy.


    The Heaven Defying Faction had no one to help their members break free of the Nightmare Beast King''s influence. If this kept up, the Nightmare Beast King would have more effect on the Heaven Defying Faction than the Life Sacred Land.


    "This brat...." the Protector grunted.


    "No rush." The Heaven Lord smiled.


    Roooooar!


    The Nightmare Beast King''s nine heads roared to the heavens and released another powerful wave of Soul energy. The nine heads'' eyes instantly released a frightening and befuddling halo of dark purple. This halo gradually turned into nine balls of purple mist that exploded forward.


    "This is an ability of the Nightmare Beast King, the Thousand Devil Nightmare. Those of the same level can never escape alive, as they will be plunged into an endless nightmare. Everything that happens in their nightmares will even affect their bodies in reality!" God King Radiant Peak scowled.


    The Nightmare Beast King''s ability could turn dreams into reality. What happened in a dream would be reflected in reality.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    A dark ball of mist flew forward at a speed that was almost impossible to react to.


    At a certain part of the battlefield, a Second Heaven God Lord sensed this purple ball of mist approached and immediately tried to retreat, but the ball of mist doggedly pursued him, and he could not break away.


    Swish!


    The mist entered the mind of the Second Heaven God Lord. The Second Heaven God Lord was instantly plunged into the Thousand Devil Nightmare. His body in reality came to a complete stop.


    Meanwhile, the other balls of mist flew to the other battlefield, causing those they struck to fall into the Thousand Devil Nightmare.


    "It''s rather similar to my Intrusive Dream. Perhaps I can break this Thousand Devil Nightmare!" Zhao Feng was startled, and his left eye activated.


    As he circulated his Dream Origin energy, his left eye erupted with a dazzling halo of dreamy light and began to exude an inexplicable pull. Wherever Zhao Feng looked, his left eye would exert a pull on the minds of all living beings.


    Those enemies with the same level of Soul Intent were basically incapable of resisting this Dream ability, but the range of Zhao Feng''s Intrusive Dream this time was far too large. It encompassed no less than one hundred thousand people, so the pull exerted by Intrusive Dream was also weakened. An ordinary Second Heaven God Lord only needed to avoid looking at Zhao Feng''s left eye to mostly resist this ability.


    Of course, Zhao Feng was not doing this to kill low-level opponents, but to save the God Lords of his own side who had fallen into the Thousand Devil Nightmare. After all, the arrival of the Illusion God Race had caused the Life Sacred Land to slowly lose ground. If these God Lords were lost, the Life Sacred Land would suffer a devastating blow.


    "Intrusive Dream!" Zhao Feng first locked his left eye onto a few of the God Lords who had fallen into the Thousand Devil Nightmare. These people were already dreaming, so they had no ability to resist and were instantly drawn into Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension.


    Of course, there were also some people that Zhao Feng was not targeting but who could not resist his power, so they ended up being pulled into the Dream Dimension anyway.


    Several hundred people appeared in the Dream Dimension. Zhao Feng killed off all the enemy members and drove out all the members of his own side.


    All that was left were the four members in the Thousand Devil Nightmare. These people stood motionless, their bodies shivering and looks of fear, panic, or sorrow on their faces.


    "Hehe. Here, my word is law!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Although these people were still in the Thousand Devil Nightmare, they were also in Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension.


    This was essentially a dream within a dream.


    "Awaken!" Zhao Feng called out.


    Thus, it became true. The four people in Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension awakened from their nightmare.


    "What''s going on?" These people were afraid and confused. The various nightmares they had experienced just now seemed so real.


    Zhao Feng was too lazy to explain, and he drove these people out of his Dream Dimension.


    Back in the outside world, several hundred members of the enemy side suddenly exploded, and the Sacred Land God Lords who had been plunged into the Thousand Devil Nightmare suddenly awakened.


    This sight drew the attention of many people, and the upper echelon members of the enemy force exchanged glances of dismay.


    "This is... Dream Dao energy! I didn''t think that Zhao Feng was able to contend with the Nightmare Beast King when it came to the Dream Dao!" God King Radiant Peak was amazed and surprised.


    In the distance, the nine heads of the Nightmare Beast King stared at Zhao Feng in confusion and hostility.


    That would be interesting. I give him 50% chance he befriends him. His affinity with the Dream Dao is compelling and further supports a possible alliance, but could also cause enmity between them.

    Is the Little Thieving Cat going to replace his buddy the Destruction Dragon with a 9 headed beast

 1535 Shaman Arts

    Chapter 1535 - Shaman Arts


    After saving the four God Lords of the Sacred Land from the Thousand Devil Nightmare, Zhao Feng immediately headed elsewhere. He once more used Intrusive Dream, pulling nearly one thousand people into his Dream Dimension.


    As before, Zhao Feng obliterated his enemies and drove the awakened members of his own side out of the dream. The only people left in the Dream Dimension were those suffering from the Thousand Devil Nightmare.


    "Break the dream!" With a surge of Thought power, Zhao Feng instantly shattered their nightmares and saved them.


    "That nightmare just now... what happened?" When these people woke up, their bodies were drenched in cold sweat and still shaking. The terrifying scenes they had experienced just now seemed incredibly real. It felt like they were imprisoned while their minds were being tortured.


    Once Zhao Feng drove these people out of his Dream Dimension, the Nightmare Beast King''s formidable ability was broken.


    "I didn''t think that Zhao Feng would have such powerful Dream Dao energy!" God King Radiant Peak was rather excited.


    "Perhaps this is the domain of his Ninth God Eye," the Life God spoke in her soft and aloof voice. She had been paying attention to Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye this entire time and had developed a rough understanding of its abilities.


    "Quite a few people have come." The Life God extended a slender finger, sending a green point of light into the Life Tree to the eighteen array masters.


    A little while later, the array masters once more opened a spatial passage.


    Swoosh swoosh...


    Several figures flew in - three Third Heaven God Lords and four Second Heaven God Lords.


    "Please assist us," the Life God amiably said.


    These people soon entered the battlefield.


    "Good! The situation is beginning to stabilize. Victory is ours!" God King Radiant Peak gave a relieved smile.


    The Life Sacred Land was able to form relationships with so many people because it had treated the severe injuries and illnesses of countless people. As time passed, the Life Sacred Land would only get stronger and stronger.


    Once enough time passed, it wouldn''t matter how many more people the Heaven Defying Faction sent.


    The flames of war continued to bum around the Life Sacred Land.


    After dispelling the Nightmare Beast King''s ability, Zhao Feng prepared to go back into the battlefield to kill more enemy experts. But at this moment, he sensed an intense hostility.


    "Nightmare Beast King?" Zhao Feng was shocked.


    In the distance, the nine heads of the Nightmare Beast King were all staring at him, the dark purple eyes exuding a frightening chill.


    "Kid, your Dream Dao abilities don''t seem that bad...." A sinister hiss emerged from the nine heads. The varying pitches of the nine heads overlapped together to create a hair-raising voice.


    "Eat him! Take his power!"


    "Let him experience the world''s most frightening nightmare!"


    Several of the heads voiced their own opinions.


    Thwish!


    Suddenly, the mountainous form of the Nightmare Beast King turned into a dark ball of light and hurtled toward Zhao Feng.


    "Oh no!" Zhao Feng retreated in alarm.


    The Nightmare Beast King was nearly a God King in terms of cultivation, and the Dream Dao energy it used was extremely powerful. It was basically invincible among Third Heavens.


    Kacrack!


    As the Nightmare Beast King flew forward, it shattered Zhao Feng''s afterimage.


    At the same time, a dark purple fog rose from its body and spread into the battlefield. This dark fog was the Nightmare Beast King''s Nightmare Mist. Anyone who got close to the Nightmare Beast King would suffer from the effects of this mist, and if one spent too long inside it, even those with formidable Soul Intent would find it difficult to survive.


    "Scram!" As Zhao Feng retreated, he swung an arm, tossing out a massive Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Nightmare Beast King was too massive to dodge, and the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword stabbed into its body.


    But at this moment, the Nightmare Beast King began to radiate a dark halo. The energy emanated by it seeped into the surrounding one hundred thousand li or so of space. Within this region, the Nightmare Beast King''s aura underwent a massive transformation. The nine heads suddenly extended their necks and devoured the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword until nothing was left.


    "That is Dream Dao energy!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    The Nightmare Beast King just fused its own Dream Dimension with the surrounding space. Within the Dream Dimension, its strength was boosted, allowing it to easily destroy the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword, even eating it while suffering little effect.


    "Kid, just die!" The Nightmare Beast King''s nine heads howled to the heavens, unleashing an immense Soul Dao energy into the surrounding area. Frightening illusion halos emanated from the heads'' eyes, gradually coalescing into nine balls of mist that shot forward.


    The Nightmare Beast King had once more used its Thousand Devil Nightmare. And this time, all nine balls of mist were targeted at Zhao Feng.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The nine balls of mist flew straight at Zhao Feng.


    "Not good! Zhao Feng is in danger!" God King Radiant Peak''s face tightened.


    Even those of the same level as the Nightmare Beast King regarded its Dream Dao abilities with immense dread. If nine Thousand Devil Nightmares were all targeted at the same person, even Zhao Feng and his skill in the Dream Dao would be powerless. After all, Zhao Feng''s cultivation and Soul Intent were both lacking compared to the Nightmare Beast King.


    "Hurry and reinforce him!" God King Radiant Peak ordered.


    Zhao Feng saw that nine balls of mist were flying toward him.


    His face became extremely solemn. He did not know if his Intrusive Dream could block this attack. If he failed to block it, he would be plunged into the Thousand Devil Nightmare where he would essentially be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.


    Thus, Zhao Feng did not take the gamble of Intrusive Dream.


    "Dreamification!" Zhao Feng''s left eye flashed with dreamy light as it began to turn, spewing out dreamy mist. In a flash, the world for more than one hundred thousand li around Zhao Feng was painted in dreamy colors.


    He concentrated his Thought power in front of him. The nine balls of mist instantly slowed down under the effects of this strange energy, their power clearly weakening.


    "Extinguish!" Zhao Feng circulated his Thought power.


    Whoosh!


    The ball of mist at the very front began to break apart from front to back. Following that, inexplicable and irresistible energy engulfed the second Thousand Devil Nightmare.


    Whoosh!


    The second ball of dark mist popped out of existence like a bubble.


    The nine heads of the Nightmare Beast King were all stunned by this sight. It never would have imagined that a human of lower cultivation would be able to destroy its Thousand Devil Nightmare. Just what sort of energy was this?


    Gradually, the third and fourth Thousand Devil Nightmares were also obliterated by Zhao Feng.


    But by that point, the remaining five reached him. After all, while Zhao Feng was using Dreamification, these attacks were still getting closer and closer. By now, there was no more time to dodge.


    "Dream Dimension Expansion!" Zhao Feng''s left eye began to turn.


    At this moment, he suddenly recalled how the Nightmare Beast King had released its Dream Dimension and fused it with the world, thus strengthening itself so it could destroy his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    If the Nightmare Beast King could do it, so could he.


    Bzzz!


    A dreamy halo radiated from Zhao Feng''s body. A strange scenery began to attach itself to the surrounding space.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension covered the surrounding tens of thousands of li around him. The scenery within this region was that of the buildings of the Spiritual Race.


    This was a rather bizarre sight; the Spiritual Race''s territory had abruptly appeared in the center of the Sacred Land''s battlefield.


    "Success!" Zhao Feng was elated.


    Previously, his Dream Dimension only existed in his mind, and whenever he sent his mind into the Dream Dimension, his actual body became incapable of using much power, causing him to fall into a weakened state. But things were different now that Zhao Feng had released his Dream Dimension into the surrounding world.


    Bzzzz!


    The five dark purple balls of mist entered Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension.


    "Extinguish!" Zhao Feng roared, sending his Soul Intent surging forward.


    Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent was originally at the peak of the Second Heaven, but within the Dream Dimension, it was at the Third Heaven.


    Boom! Bang!


    Moreover, Zhao Feng''s Soul Intent had Tribulation Lightning energy, so the moment it surged forward, it was able to blast apart one of the balls of mist.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Sword!" A dark bolt of lightning shot out of his left eye. The bolt of lightning pierced through two balls of mist, obliterating them.


    But once the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword left the range of the Dream Dimension, its strength returned to normal. Swoosh swoosh!


    Two figures suddenly appeared near Zhao Feng. These were the two Third Heaven God Lords of the Sacred Land who had previously been fighting with Divine Emissary Wu.


    They were originally preparing to help Zhao Feng out. Once Zhao Feng succumbed to the Thousand Devil Nightmare, they planned to at least move him out of the battlefield. But by the time they arrived, Zhao Feng had basically resolved the crisis.


    "What? This human...!" The nine heads of the Nightmare Beast King gnashed their teeth in extreme unwillingness.


    "Two more left!" Zhao Feng smiled, in no rush to destroy the last two Thousand Devil Nightmares.


    In fact, he actually wanted these dark purple balls of mist to hit him. Zhao Feng was confident he would basically be unharmed in his current state. He wanted to experience the Nightmare Beast King''s Dream Dao energy and use these two Thousand Devil Nightmares to hone his Soul Intent.


    "This kid really isn''t afraid of anything!" The two Third Heaven elders felt nervous in Zhao Feng''s place, but they also believed that Zhao Feng would be fine.


    The Nightmare Beast King stared at Zhao Feng and the two Third Heaven elders at his side, holding back for now. It discovered that it could not do much to this youth, even less now that he had two Third Heaven guardians.


    "Good! The Nightmare Beast King is being held down!" God King Radiant Peak clapped his hands.


    The Nightmare Beast King was a troublesome thing. Only an expert skilled in the Soul Dao and Dream Dao could easily deal with it.


    On the other end:


    "Heaven Lord, let me fight!" the Left Protector requested.


    The Heaven Lord nodded in agreement.


    Thwish!


    The Left Protector instantly flew forward.


    At the same time, on the Sacred Land side, God King Radiant Peak and the Life God turned grim. Their intuition told them that this old man of the Heaven Defying Faction was an extremely dangerous individual.


    The Left Protector''s body suddenly erupted with a dark, powerful, and immortal energy.


    "I''ll let you experience this old man''s Shaman arts!" The Left Protector extended his hands. Countless dark rays of light shot out from them, all of them exuding a sinister and frightening energy.

 1536 Life and Curse

    Chapter 1536 - Life and Curse


    At this moment, Zhao Feng, within his expanded Dream Dimension, was struck by the two dark purple balls of mist. Powerful Dream Dao energy seeped into Zhao Feng''s soul, unleashing a barrage of negative emotions.


    But in the Dream Dimension, all aspects of Zhao Feng''s strength were increased, and he was able to resist the encroachment of this power. Gradually, Zhao Feng was able to stabilize the situation and began to comprehend the power of the Thousand Devil Nightmare.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng became alarmed by an ancient and sinister energy.


    "The Protector... is he going to act?" Zhao Feng looked into the distance.


    This was not his first time interacting with the Left Protector. However, last time, the Protector only took out a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact and used it to casually attack. It was impossible to judge anything about his strength from that sight.


    But now, Zhao Feng could truly sense just how sinister, frightening, and powerful the Protector was. This sensation reminded him of the Cursed Words of Death.


    "I''ll let you experience this old man''s Shaman arts!" The Left Protector extended his hands. Countless dark rays of light shot out from them, all of them exuding a sinister and frightening energy.


    "Shaman arts!?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of God King Radiant Peak and the Life God.


    When talking about Shaman arts, one had to bring up the 2nd ranked Ancient Shaman Race. This race was the oldest and most mysterious of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. It was almost extinct at present. Their various curses and Shaman arts were something that even the number one Ancient Race had feared.


    "Blood Spirit Shaman Gu Art!" The Left Protector waved his hands, his ten fingers sweeping around in the air, drawing out various mysterious characters and diagrams.


    Hisssss!


    Pitch-black rays of energy seethed behind the Left Protector, and one could vaguely make out a figure dressed in a pitch-black cloak within these rays of energy. This figure had a face of black nothingness, and it thrust forward two wrinkled and dried-up claws. Suddenly, a dark red light appeared in that black mass of energy. It spilled out and slowly disappeared into the surrounding space.


    Although many members on the battlefield felt that something was wrong, they didn''t know what they should be on their guard against.


    "Disappeared?" Zhao Feng pushed his left eye to its limits.


    Gradually, countless dark red rays of light appeared in his vision. If he looked carefully, these dark red lines appeared like insects dripping with blood.


    Within his Dream Dimension, Zhao Feng was not very worried, but those other people on the battlefield who could not see these things probably had little chance of surviving.


    Hwoooo!


    These dark red lines began to seek out enemies under the Protector''s control.


    "Mm?" A God Lord suddenly sensed a chilling silver energy penetrating into his flesh. A moment later, he felt his vitality plunging, his blood drying up.


    Upon carefully sensing, he discovered that his body had been invaded by dark red lines.


    "What''s going on?"


    "Ah ¡­!"


    Many frightened screams resounded across the battlefield.


    "What a powerful Shaman art!" God King Radiant Peak had a powerful Divine Sense and was particularly sensitive when it came to flesh and vitality. He could naturally tell what was going on.


    At this point, he was compelled to take action.


    "Be careful!" the Life God warned.


    It was clear that the Heaven Defying Faction''s Protector had delved deeply into the Shaman arts and curses of the Ancient Shaman Race.


    The most fundamental point when it came to fighting him was that he could not be carelessly killed. If he set up a Cursed Words of Death, such a powerful offering would create a curse that even the Life God would find very hard to break.


    But it wasn''t like nothing could be done about the Cursed Words of Death. For example, he could be captured alive or killed using a pet or low-level cultivator.


    Many of the Life Sacred Land''s members suddenly detected abnormalities in their bodies. However, none of them had any experience in suppressing the Left Protector''s Blood Spirit Shaman Gu Art.


    Anyone struck by this art would initially begin to suffer a decline in condition. Enemies that they once could fight equally with would begin to gain an advantage.


    Inside his Dream Dimension, Zhao Feng was inspecting those members struck by the Blood Spirit Shaman Gu Art.


    Whenever one of those dark red strings drifted into his Dream Dimension, he would use the Dream Dimension and the power of Realization to destroy them.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng was observing a person nearby with his left eye. This was a Rank Nine Ancient God who had been infected by the Blood Spirit Shaman Gu Art. Zhao Feng discovered that the dark red lines in this person''s body were absorbing his blood and bloodline energy. Whenever this Ancient God used their bloodline power, the dark red lines would devour even faster.


    At this moment:


    "Ah...!" A Rank Eight Ancient God extremely far away suddenly screamed.


    This Ancient God had become a shriveled husk, and blood was pouring out of every orifice. He had lost all rationality and was randomly attacking both friend and foe.


    "The Blood Spirit Shaman Gu Art attacks one''s Yuan Qi. Once a person is completely devoured, they will give birth to a Blood Spirit Gu," the Left Protector spoke in a chilling voice.


    At this moment, the Rank Eight Ancient God spasmed, and a repulsive long insect as thick as an arm erupted from his head. This massive red insect was dripping with blood, and the moment it emerged, it shot toward a nearby green- robed woman in a bloody streak of light.


    The dark red insect moved with such speed that ordinary Ancient Gods were incapable of dodging.


    The green-robed woman trembled all over in fright, her face turning ghastly pale.


    But at this moment:


    Thwish!


    A dark green ray of light pierced through the insect. The insect''s vitality was rapidly drained away, and its dried-up husk dropped to the ground.


    "Hmph, how inhumane! To use such an evil Shaman art!" God King Radiant Peak grunted.


    He brought his hands together, releasing a dark green halo.


    "Origin of Life!"


    As God King Radiant Peak''s dark green halo spread outward, crystalline green points of light began to coalesce within it. These green points of light began to sprinkle even more green points of light across the world.


    The Left Protector turned grim. He was extremely curious to see how God King Radiant Peak would handle his art.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Under God King Radiant Peak''s control, these green dots of light flew into the bodies of those infected by the Blood Spirit Shaman Gu Art.


    "So that''s what''s going on!" Zhao Feng was surprised.


    Those dark red lines enjoyed devouring vitality and blood. These green lights were brimming with vitality; the moment they entered the bodies of the infected, those dark red lines would immediately eat them.


    But taking too much at once became a bad thing.


    Bang!


    Each dark red line that consumed a green point of light exploded. Meanwhile, the bloodline energy and Life energy was left inside the body of the infected for them to slowly absorb, allowing them to heal and recover.


    Of course, with regards to those extremely powerful Blood Spirit Gu, God King Radiant Peak would personally send green dots of light to seize their lives and obliterate them.


    "Those excelling in the Life Law can not only save lives but seize them as well!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but nod.


    God King Radiant Peak''s understanding of the Life Laws and his minute control over them was truly deserving of admiration.


    "Let me send you a thank-you gift!" God King Radiant Peak''s face chilled.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    His eyes gleamed with crystalline green lights and began to surge with boundless Life energy. Circulating his Life Law, God King Radiant Peak formed a dark green seed the size of a human palm between his eyes.


    This dark green seed exuded powerful Life energy, but for some reason, looking at it instilled dread.


    Thwish!


    The dark green seed was thrown into the back lines of the Heaven Defying Faction.


    Wherever the seed went, it stripped away life. Even before it hit the ground, it had already begun to bud and grow. By the time it landed, it had grown into a thick dark green vine more than one thousand feet long.


    Hwooo! Boom! Boom!


    The dark green vine writhed and lashed, quickly seizing several dozen members of the Heaven Defying Faction. These people were rapidly turned into nothing but white bones.


    Meanwhile, the dark green vine continued to lengthen and thicken. A few seconds later, several hundred vines had emerged, flailing around and wiping out the life of anything they touched.


    Fwooosh!


    These demonic vines continued to frenziedly grow, and a few moments later, they had engulfed more than half of the battlefield, vine monsters slaughtering anything they touched. These demonic vines possessed abnormally tenacious vitality and were exceptionally bloodthirsty and violent. Their surroundings, on the other hand, were littered with white bones and stank of death.


    "As expected, a faction that can be called a Sacred Land can''t be simple!" Zhao Feng was taken aback.


    In the sky:


    "Hmph!" The Left Protector coldly snorted.


    In his palm, dark rays of energy and ancient characters began to shift around.


    "Curse of Decay!" the Left Protector called out in his raspy voice. A dark gray mist spewed out from his hand, appearing like some ugly and repulsive creature.


    Kacrack!


    The dark gray mist landed on one of the demonic vines. The dark green vine instantly began to writhe and moan as if in terrible pain. The surface of the vine began to turn into puss that oozed into the ground.


    Kabooom!


    This decaying effect soon spread to the entirety of the demonic vine, turning all of its numerous offshoots into foul pus.


    This sight had all the people on the battlefield trembling in fear. The battle of two God Kings was truly too terrifying! Even Zhao Feng was rather astonished, even a little entranced by this sight.


    Of course, he didn''t forget that he still had other things to do. At this moment, he was comprehending the Nightmare Beast King''s Dream Dao energy contained within the Thousand Devil Nightmare. At the same time, Zhao Feng was also gradually withdrawing his Dream Dimension, allowing the power of the Thousand Devil Nightmare to increase so that it could further temper Zhao Feng''s soul.


    His Soul Intent had only just reached peak Second Heaven. Through this tempering, it became very stabilized.


    Eventually, Zhao Feng completely dispelled the Dream Dimension. Maintaining the Dream Dimension consumed vast amounts of Dream Origin energy and Thought power. Besides that, Zhao Feng had already used many Dream eye- bloodline techniques. It was best if he was more conservative with his reserves.


    Meanwhile, the battle between the two top-class God Kings continued.


    "Ghostfiend Death Curse!" The Left Protector''s face turned savage as he conjured up a pitch-black and ghostly fog in front of him that wailed and shrieked.


    Countless restless ghosts seemed to be trapped within this fog, reaching out with their white and sharp claws to rip and tear or sticking out tongues that were dripping with blood as they shrieked.


    Boom! Bang!


    Suddenly, the pitch-black fog exploded, unleashing countless ghosts onto the battlefield that charged into the Sacred Land forces.


    Five or six of these evil spirits extended their claws and opened their bloody mouths at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng immediately used his left eye to unleash Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Flame.


    Hissss!


    The ghosts wailed as they gradually collapsed.


    Dream power could target all things while Tribulation Lightning energy was the bane of such evil spirits.


    However, few of the others had Zhao Feng''s abilities. These abnormally powerful ghosts swept through the Life Sacred Land''s forces, invading their souls.


    "What a powerful curse! These evil spirits can stir up the evil thoughts in the minds of people and continue to encroach on their minds until they make these people swear to follow them in death!" As Zhao Feng used his left eye to observe the massive battlefield, he was left stunned.


    Not only could this Ghostfiend Death Curse affect a person''s mental state, it could also devour a person''s blood and force a person into madness and death. It could be considered a weak version of the Cursed Words of Death.


    God King Radiant Peak was taken aback. The Left Protector''s curse this time was aimed at the soul and was exceptionally powerful. Suppressing it would be extremely difficult.


    Many of the members of the Sacred Land were infected by this curse, and their fighting power began to plunge. The situation would be extremely bad if this continued.


    At this moment:


    "It''s about time... for this battle to end!" Within the Sacred Land, the long-silent Life God sorrowfully sighed as her majestic and elegant figure slowly stepped forward.

 1537 Primal Chaos Lightning Eye

    Chapter 1537 - Primal Chaos Lightning Eye


    "It''s about time... for this battle to end!" Within the Sacred Land, the long-silent Life God sorrowfully sighed as her majestic and elegant figure slowly stepped forward.


    The moment the Life God entered the war, the gloomy, cruel, and bloodstained battlefield instantly calmed down. An invisible energy that dominated the world began to radiate across the battlefield.


    At this moment, the Life God was the center of the world, emitting a dazzling mist. The countless restless spirits and ghosts attacking the Life Sacred Land''s forces trembled in fear, and the effectiveness of the curse was halved.


    "Lord God!" God King Radiant Peak lowered his head in respect. Since he was unable to undo the Left Protector''s Ghostfiend Death Curse, the Life God had to intervene.


    "The Life God, hm?" The Left Protector''s body sank down as an oppressive feeling appeared in his heart.


    "As expected of a God!" Zhao Feng was also looking at the Life God.


    The current her fused nobility, beauty, elegance, and pride in a single body. She had the many advantages of a woman, but also the resolve of a man. In her dazzling glory, she captured the attention of everyone on the battlefield.


    Even the Nightmare Beast King fell silent, not daring to make a ruckus.


    The world seemed to grovel in front of the Life God and revolve around her.


    Bzzz!


    The Life God''s eyes began to turn, boundless Life energy rippling forth. The entire world was flooded with vitality, the somber mood swept away and turned into a vast forest.


    Under this intense Life energy, all ghosts and evil souls were pushed out and suppressed.


    Hissss!


    These ghosts wailed and shrieked as their bodies faded and vanished.


    "Directly obliterated through the power of will!" God King Radiant Peak sighed in praise.


    The will of a God was just this strong. If they wanted someone to die, they would die!


    The Life God was no expert in the soul, but she was still able to easily dispel the Ghostfiend Death Curse.


    "I will seize your life!" The Life God suddenly stared at the Left Protector.


    Bzzzz!


    Her crystalline green eyes were brimming with endless vitality, but the Left Protector only felt unprecedented danger when stared at by these eyes. It was like he would be dead a moment later.


    For the Life God to snatch a life was an extremely simple matter.


    Hisssss!


    The invisible energy of a God descended, but at this moment, an imposing white-robed elder appeared in front of the Left Protector: the Heaven Lord. This energy that would snatch away life was stopped by the Heaven Lord.


    Kabooom!


    A domineering divine might erupted from the Heaven Lord''s body, unleashing golden and silver light that clashed with the Life God''s energy.


    This shapeless clash of power caused the surrounding space to twist and shatter.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    As these two energies fiercely clashed, stirring up fierce and destructive storms, they eventually vanished.


    "It seems like you''ve fused with the bloodline of the Ancient Race." The Life God''s gorgeous face was indifferent.


    She was not surprised by this. After all, she had already seen many other powerful bloodlines of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. If the Heaven Lord dared to attack the Life Sacred Land, he naturally had to have some sort of extraordinary trump card.


    "Life God, since you''re no longer waiting, let''s fight with all our power!" The Heaven Lord smiled.


    Booom! Bzzzzz!


    The space behind him twisted as several enormous silhouettes appeared. These silhouettes gradually grew more distinct, revealing themselves to be warships that were armed to the teeth. At the prow of each of these ships was a massive black-gold firing platform. Two members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race sat next to each firing platform, responsible for controlling the platform.


    "Destruction weapons!" God King Radiant Peak focused his eyes.


    The Destruction weapons of the Heaven''s Legacy Race were incredibly powerful and had a massive area of effect. The Heaven''s Legacy Race had once used this kind of weapon to destroy the major factions of other zones from afar.


    Besides that, these three warships had other unknown installations that exuded an intimidating aura.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    One figure after another flew out of the warships, all of them automatons, with many high-class Death God Guards among them.


    "What a terrifying faction!" Zhao Feng sighed in wonder.


    The Heaven Defying Faction had displayed far more strength than Zhao Feng ever would''ve imagined. It was no wonder the Illusion God Sacred Land had been conquered after putting up so little resistance, with many of its upper echelon members even being enslaved.


    Of course, Sacred Lands presided over by Gods were the strongest factions of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Although the Life God was not a powerful fighter, she had many connections. More and more experts were coming to reinforce the Life Sacred Land, and its overall fighting power had reached an astonishing level.


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng shattered the Thousand Devil Nightmare and left his Dream Dimension.


    The war had entered its final stage, but no one knew who the eventual victor would be. Thus, Zhao Feng needed to do all he could to heavily injure the enemy and obtain a victory for the Life Sacred Land.


    At this moment, peerless energy exploded in the sky, tearing it to pieces and casting all into chaos.


    A proud woman of peerless beauty stood in that chaotic sky, her body surrounded by a divine green light. Behind the Life God, the enormous phantom of a God Eye had appeared. Embedded in the sky, it cowed and awed all things in the world.


    On the other side, the Heaven Lord had already transformed into an Ancient God-Devil, his entire body surrounded by silver and golden rays of light and radiating an energy that viewed the entire world with disdain. All the living beings down below found it hard to breathe under the pressure of the Ancient Race bloodline.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    In a flash, the two exchanged several dozen moves. Countless green balls of light collided with golden and silver rays, extinguishing each other.


    "This is the power of the Heaven Lord?" Zhao Feng was startled.


    The Heaven Lord could fight directly against the Life God. This meant this strength was infinitesimally close to the strength of a God, or perhaps was already at the God level.


    Of course, the Heaven Lord was primarily relying on his Ancient Race bloodline. Yu Heng''s fusion level with the Ancient Race bloodline had only been at twenty to thirty percent, but Zhao Feng estimated that the Heaven Lord''s fusion level with the Ancient Race bloodline was at least ninety percent, perhaps even higher.


    As the Life God and the Heaven Lord battled, the two factions also began to fight with all their strength.


    The three black-gold firing platforms on the three warships began to fire. Boom! Swish!


    A massive golden beam of light swept forth, its strength something that not even a Third Heaven God Lord would dare to carelessly take on.


    But the Sacred Land was already prepared; three green crystalline shields suddenly formed on the Sacred Land''s array and flew forward.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The golden beams of light slammed into the green energy shields, sending Destructive energy sweeping out from the impact zone.


    In the chaos, a powerful energy began to approach Zhao Feng.


    "Divine Emissary Wu!" Zhao Feng looked into the distance.


    After being defeated, Divine Emissary Wu had returned to the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom for treatment. He had recovered most of his strength now and could not be taken lightly.


    Boom!


    Divine Emissary Wu immediately activated his Demon God Race bloodline, turning into a black-violet God-Devil that exuded an intimidating demonic energy.


    "Demonheaven Palm!" Divine Emissary Wu gathered up his Darkfiend energy and fired off a massive black-violet palm.


    His carelessness from before had allowed Zhao Feng to turn the tides of the battle and win. This time, he had to redeem himself.


    "Primal Chaos Domain!" Zhao Feng immediately unleashed vast quantities of Primal Chaos energy into his surroundings, turning it into a Primal Chaos Domain. In the Primal Chaos Domain, Zhao Feng''s strength was boosted.


    Swish!


    Gripping the Primal Chaos Ancestral Artifact fragment, Zhao Feng created a Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword and repeatedly swung it.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng also activated his left eye and fired off a Primal Chaos Lightning Sword. Boom! Plush!


    The waves of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy together with the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword obliterated the black-violet palm. The Primal Chaos Lightning Sword then continued to shoot toward Divine Emissary Wu.


    At this moment, a white mirror fragment appeared in Divine Emissary Wu''s hand, emanating a powerful Time energy.


    After his earlier defeat, Divine Emissary Wu borrowed an Ancestral Artifact fragment from the Heaven Defying Faction.


    In a flash, the power of a Time Law radiated out, allowing Divine Emissary Wu to swiftly dodge Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Sword.


    "This old scoundrel...! As expected, he came prepared." Zhao Feng''s eyes dimmed.


    Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline techniques were extremely effective against the Demon God Race. Of his many eye- bloodline techniques, his strongest was the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword.


    However, his Primal Chaos Lightning Sword could not be instantly fired, and there was a chance it could be dodged. Divine Emissary Wu had naturally noticed this, so he borrowed this Time Ancestral Artifact fragment so that he could buy himself the time to dodge the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword.


    Zhao Feng''s goal had always been to fuse his Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame with his Primal Chaos Sword, increasing its power and allowing him to instantly fire it, but he had never succeeded. The reason was that so much power was contained in this eye-bloodline technique that it became rather hard to control.


    "However, if I''m in my Dream Dimension, where I''m boosted in all aspects, I might be able to succeed!" Zhao Feng speculated.


    "Haha, Zhao Feng, this time, I''ll tear your corpse to pieces!" Divine Emissary Wu loudly laughed as he flew toward Zhao Feng, his fists and palms unleashing supreme Darkfiend energy.


    "Dream Dimension Expansion!" Zhao Feng circulated his Dream Origin and Thought power to create a Dream Dimension and spread it into his surroundings.


    Gradually, an area for tens of thousands of li around Zhao Feng was converted into a dreamy paradise. In the Dream Dimension, all of Zhao Feng''s traits were boosted, and the impossible could be made possible.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    As the Primal Chaos Domain fused with the Dream Dimension, its power greatly increased. The Primal Chaos energy dyed with dreamy colors surged forward, blocking Divine Emissary Wu''s attacks.


    At the center of the Primal Chaos Domain, Zhao Feng began to turn his left eye. Primal Chaos energy, Tribulation Lightning energy, and Dream Origin energy mixed together into a dark lightning sword that exuded a rainbow of colors.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng called out.


    As soon as he fired off this lightning sword, he knew that he had succeeded.


    Divine Emissary Wu, who was just about to break through Zhao Feng''s defenses, suddenly sensed danger.


    Kacrack!


    A dark lightning sword struck his God-Devil Body, releasing all its power. A sword-shaped mark was left on Divine Emissary Wu''s chest, the area around it scorched black. Divine Emissary Wu''s insides were in an even worse state, Tribulation Lightning and Primal Chaos flames raging within it.


    "How could this be?" Divine Emissary Wu''s face twitched in disbelief.


    This time, Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique was much more powerful than the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword, and it was instantly fired without the possibility of dodging. His previous preparations had instantly lost their purpose.


    "Success!" Zhao Feng smiled.


    The eye-bloodline technique he used just now was far more powerful than the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword. It fused together the Primal Chaos Sword, Tribulation Lightning Eye Flame, and Zhao Feng''s profound understanding of eye- bloodline techniques.


    That sword brand that had imprinted itself on Divine Emissary Wu''s body was impossible to dodge and incredibly powerful.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Eye!" Zhao Feng''s left eye revolved once more, chaotic energy instantly coalescing into a miniature Primal Chaos Lightning Sword that was circled by an Eye Flame.

 1538 The Heavenly Dao God Eye I

    Chapter 1538 - The Heavenly Dao God Eye (I)


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Eye!" Zhao Feng''s left eye revolved once more, chaotic energy instantly coalescing into a miniature Primal Chaos Lightning Sword that was circled by an Eye Flame.


    Divine Emissary Wu instantly paled at this sight.


    Thwish!


    He activated his Time Ancestral Artifact fragment and began to rapidly move around.


    One could only counter instant-fire eye-bloodline techniques by rapidly moving around so that the enemy could not lock on.


    Divine Emissary Wu rapidly approached Zhao Feng. If he attacked Zhao Feng, he would be struck by Zhao Feng''s eye- bloodline technique. Thus, he decided to exchange wound for wound and attack with all his power. Thus, even if he was struck by Zhao Feng''s eye-bloodline technique, he would not suffer too great of a loss.


    Swishswishswish!


    Zhao Feng waved a hand, creating several dozen simple Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords, and he fired all of them with another wave of his hand.


    Divine Emissary Wu activated his God-Devil Body, and violet rays of light began to flow across it as a black-violet halo appeared around his body.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Divine Emissary Wu pushed his way through these attacks and flew closer to Zhao Feng.


    "Demon God Roar!" Divine Emissary Wu''s eyes erupted with a demonic light, and he gathered up immense amounts of Darkfiend energy in his body and spewed it from his mouth.


    Kabooom!


    A vast ring-shaped shockwave of black-violet energy howled toward Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, Zhao Feng unleashed his Primal Chaos Lightning Eye.


    Kacrack!


    The Primal Chaos Lightning Eye instantly struck Divine Emissary Wu''s God-Devil Body. Another sword-shaped brand was left on his body, energy seething off of it and entering the insides of his body.


    Of course, Divine Emissary Wu had expected this and did his utmost to resist this power.


    After firing the Primal Chaos Lightning Eye, Zhao Feng''s expression darkened. Suddenly, a black-violet shockwave was rushing toward him, the Darkfiend energy within it obliterating everything in its path. Directly taking this shockwave would result in death or excruciating pain.


    However, Zhao Feng was within the Dream Dimension now. His overall strength had increased, and he could make the impossible possible.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex!" Zhao Feng released massive amounts of Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy to create the pitch-black Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    Kaboom!


    The black-violet shockwave continued to hurtle forward. The Dream Dimension around Zhao Feng trembled, showing signs of instability.


    "It seems that I underestimated this strike!" Zhao Feng''s face turned stem. Even his own Dream Dimension was being affected. But this was the Demon God Race, after all.


    Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng immediately compressed his Dream Dimension so that it was about the same size as his Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex, the two of them overlapping. At the same time, Zhao Feng circulated his Dream Dao energy to strength his Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex''s defenses.


    Brrrooom!


    The ring-shaped shockwave engulfed Zhao Feng. Violent Darkfiend energy constantly assailed the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex. The Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex''s power was shaved away, bit by bit.


    Zhao Feng circulated his left eye, unleashing vast quantities of Dream Origin energy and Thought power. Gradually, the defenses of the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex strengthened while the attack Zhao Feng was confronting weakened.


    In the end, the black-violet shockwave howled past, but Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex still remained. It was rather damaged, but inside, Zhao Feng was completely unscathed.


    Plush!


    In the distance, Divine Emissary Wu saw this sight and vomited blood. That attack was backed by his full strength, but it failed to even hurt Zhao Feng, let alone kill him.


    At this time, Zhao Feng was sighing in wonder at the Dream God Eye''s power. He felt like he was able to use more and more of the Dream God Eye''s power, and that it was even stronger than before. Although this didn''t imbue Zhao Feng with any formidable offensive power, it could change the nature of many things and allow Zhao Feng to resolve the dangers facing him.


    Glancing at the Life God in the sky, Zhao Feng imagined that, once he was able to completely wield the power of the Dream God Eye, he would become an expert like that.


    "It''s time to finish you off now!" Zhao Feng focused his eyes. Divine Emissary Wu was the strongest of the Divine Emissaries and invincible among Third Heaven God Lords. Killing him would have a rather significant effect on the battle.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Eye!" Zhao Feng once more created a Primal Chaos Lightning Eye.


    Now that Zhao Feng had succeeded in using the eye-bloodline technique once, he no longer needed to be in the Dream Dimension to use it.


    "Not good!" Divine Emissary Wu paled in fear.


    He had already taken two blows from the Primal Chaos Lightning Eye. Even with his God-Devil Body, he was severely injured.


    Thwish!


    Divine Emissary Wu immediately fled.


    However, he had barely begun to move when a frightening energy descended upon him.


    Bang!


    Another Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning brand struck, leaving a sword-shaped burn on his head. At the same time, enormous energy poured in and frenziedly tore at Divine Emissary Wu''s body.


    Divine Emissary Wu was shuddering all over as black smoke rose from his body. His God-Devil Body curled up into a ball while his aura of demonic energy weakened.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng immediately shot forward.


    Thwish!


    Divine Emissary Wu trembled and fled.


    The interval that passed between Divine Emissary Wu''s uses of the Demon God Race bloodline was extremely short. The blood he had recovered previously was now all used up.


    With both sides fighting with all their strength, Zhao Feng would not let Divine Emissary Wu go so easily.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Sword!" Zhao Feng fired off a Primal Chaos Lightning Sword instead of using the Primal Chaos Lightning Eye.


    It was difficult for the Primal Chaos Lightning Eye to lock on to a rapidly-moving enemy, making the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword more useful in these situations.


    Boom! Swish!


    Lightning flashed as the dark Primal Chaos Lightning Sword shot forward.


    Divine Emissary Wu sensed the astonishing ripples of energy approaching him and immediately dodged, but in his heavily injured state, he could not dodge in time.


    Thwish! Plush!


    The Primal Chaos Lightning Sword pierced through his shoulder.


    "Hiss, this brat...!" Divine Emissary Wu clenched his teeth in pain, his face twisting in hatred.


    Only now did Divine Emissary Wu realize that his desire for revenge had caused him to make a wrong decision. Zhao Feng was the holder of the Ninth God Eye, and his God Eye was in the middle of evolving and awakening. Once Zhao Feng was able to use the complete power of the God Eye, he would be a God!


    But this understanding came a little too late.


    "Spacetime Distortion!" Zhao Feng activated his many Ancestral Artifact fragments and unleashed a twisted ball of silver light.


    The moment this silver ball appeared, it threw the surrounding spacetime into disarray.


    Swish!


    The silver ball blinked away, crossing a vast distance in a flash.


    Divine Emissary Wu sensed this powerful Spacetime energy and immediately activated his Demon God Race bloodline. He turned into black-violet streak as his speed exploded, and he shot to the left.


    At this moment:


    Kacrack!


    The silver ball appeared and then exploded, shattering space and unleashing a spacetime storm.


    Divine Emissary Wu had avoided the main attack, but he was caught up in the spacetime storm and began to slow down.


    Zhao Feng used this chance to swiftly close the distance.


    Swooosh!


    With a wave of his hand, he created several hundred simple Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords. They shot forward, fusing together into a net of lightning swords that swept toward Divine Emissary Wu.


    "I can''t dodge it!" Divine Emissary Wu scowled. He couldn''t think of a way to escape.


    "Explode!"


    Those Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords near Divine Emissary Wu all exploded.


    Boom! Bang!


    Divine Emissary Wu was sent flying by the explosion. His God-Devil Body shrunk, its surface riddled with wounds.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" Zhao Feng extended both hands and unleashed torrents of Primal Chaos energy that began to circle around Divine Emissary Wu.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng coldly roared as he brought his hands together.


    The Primal Chaos energy turned into a Primal Chaos black hole that firmly enclosed Divine Emissary Wu.


    Primal Chaos energy had a devouring attribute, and this technique made this attribute even stronger. Imprisoned within the Primal Chaos Lock, Divine Emissary Wu felt the energy in his body rapidly fading, depriving him of the ability to fight back.


    "Zhao Feng, you will definitely die at the hands of the Heaven Lord!" Divine Emissary Wu''s venomous voice emerged from the Primal Chaos Lock.


    "I''m not sure about that, but there''s one thing I do know - you will die right here at my hands!" Zhao Feng''s face darkened as he increased the strength of his technique.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Primal Chaos energy suddenly constricted and then exploded, unleashing a chaotic storm of destructive energy.


    With this, the strongest of the Divine Emissaries, Divine Emissary Wu, had been killed by Zhao Feng.


    The other experts on the field naturally saw this sight. The remaining Divine Emissaries of the Heaven Defying Faction shivered and looked at Zhao Feng like he was a taboo.


    The Left Protector coldly snorted, but he was being held down by God King Radiant Peak and could not worry about anything else.


    The Left Protector was a master of the Shaman arts and curses. His various abilities could make anyone tremble in fear. However, the Life Sacred Land''s God King Radiant Peak was a master of the Life Laws and Medicine Dao. He was able to counter the majority of the Shaman arts and curses. And in terms of fighting power, the Left Protector was somewhat inferior to God King Radiant Peak.


    Zhao Feng felt rather refreshed after killing Divine Emissary Wu, and he began to move around and brashly slaughter other enemies on the battlefield. At this moment:


    At this moment:


    Brrrooom!


    A deafening explosion came from the distant sky.


    The Life God''s eyes had erupted with dazzling green light that shone upon the Heaven Lord''s body. Even the Heaven Lord with his Ancient Race bloodline could feel his vitality being snatched away and devoured.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Heaven Lord had to fly several thousand feet away before he was finally able to stabilize his condition.


    "Great! Even if the Heaven Lord has the Ancient Race bloodline, he''s still no match for the Life God!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    A God was a God for a reason. Even the Life God, who was no master of combat, was still an extremely powerful fighter.


    But for some reason, Zhao Feng still felt uneasy.


    "Haha, I suppose this is to be expected of one of the Eight Great God Eyes. With this little skill, I still can¡¯t do anyA^ to you!" The pushed-back Heaven Lord suddenly began to laugh.


    "If you have any other ability, then take it out now!" The Life God''s noble and beautiful face radiated pride.


    "This Yu has some eye-bloodline techniques that he would like to seek some instruction on from the Life God Eye!" The Heaven Lord gave a wicked smile.


    The Life God was taken aback. Asking a God Eye for advice on eye-bloodline techniques was undoubtedly some ludicrous joke, but the Life God felt inexplicably uneasy. The Heaven Lord had been giving her a strange feeling all this time, and when the Heaven Lord said these words, the Life God seemed to suddenly connect the dots.


    "Eye-bloodline techniques?" Zhao Feng was also shocked.


    He suddenly recalled that the Heaven Lord had an extremely profound and praiseworthy understanding of eye- bloodline techniques.


    "Haha, let the Desolate Realm quake. Heavenly Dao God Eye!" The Heaven Lord savagely smiled.


    His hands began to form spells, and several powerful bloodline energies surged up from his body. His eyes became pitch-black - the Eye of Death - and then they became the dazzling green of the Eye of Life, and then the Eye of Destiny...


    As each eye-bloodline appeared, his energy soared. After each of the Eight Great God Eyes had appeared, the Heaven Lord''s eyes turned back to normal, but a crack opened at the center of the Heaven Lord''s brow, a dark divine light erupting from it that could frighten the entire universe.


    Bzzz!


    That eye in the center of the Heaven Lord''s eyes arduously opened. At the same time, the images of eight eyes appeared behind Heaven Lord. These were clearly the eyes of the eight God Eye bloodlines.


    When that eye in the center of the Heaven Lord''s forehead fully opened, that dark and vertical pupil erupted with a dark and turbid light. As that dark and turbid light swept over the world, it sundered and obliterated everything in its path!

 1539 The Heavenly Dao God Eye II

    1539 The Heavenly Dao God Eye (II)


    Chapter 1539 - The Heavenly Dao God Eye (II)


    The dark and turbid light soared into the sky, piercing the vault of heaven into the vast river of stars, vying in radiance with all that existed in the Fan Universe.


    In a part of space far away from the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods sat a man whose skin was covered in golden-red feather patterns and that radiated dazzling and scorching light that illuminated the vastness of the Fan Universe.


    Suddenly, the man opened his fiery eyes and gazed at that astonishing beam of divine light in the distance.


    "A God Eye energy that I have never sensed before...." The man immediately got to his feet.


    "Could it be the Ninth God Eye?"


    He had not interacted with the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods recently, so he knew nothing about Zhao Feng. This was the reason he had arrived at this conclusion.


    Bzzz!


    The boundless light and heat around the man gradually began to retract into his body. The entire region began to darken.


    "What has happened in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods?"


    The man suddenly vanished.


    At the same time, many God Kings within the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and even Gods were startled by this divine light.


    Between the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and the outer dimensions was a region overrun by chaotic torrents of energy. If ordinary God Lords dared to carelessly wander inside, they would die nine times out of then.


    Brrrooom!


    Suddenly, a vast explosion erupted amid these chaotic torrents of energy as a bolt of dazzling white lightning collided with a stream of pitch-black Death energy. Two figures stood in the middle of the chaos.


    One of these was a man wearing golden-white robes, an imposing figure brimming with majesty. The other was a stooped old man, his pitch-black robes fluttering around him. He gripped a giant pitch-black scythe in one hand that was circled by black flames of Death energy. There was no telling how many lives this scythe had reaped.


    "Keke, Divine Punishment, I will definitely become the person to kill a God!" The black-robed elder sinisterly chuckled.


    He waved the scythe, unleashing a massive crescent moon of black flame.


    At the same time, the old man''s eyes trembled as they began to turn, affixing a terrifying Death energy onto the flames.


    "Hmph, the power of Divine Punishment will definitely execute a sinner like you!" The Divine Punishment God''s expression was cold and dignified. His eyes spat out lightning that gathered into a golden-white ball of electricity.


    Many of the great powers in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods understood that, among the Eight Great God Eyes, the Divine Punishment God Eye and Death God Eye had irreconcilable grudges with each other. These two had battled each other many times over many years.


    But at this moment, the Divine Punishment God''s eyes flickered, and he turned to the distance. The black elder also stood up, a look of surprise flashing in his pitch-black eyes.


    "A God Eye energy like none before...." The black elder turned solemn. The response from his Death God Eye told him that this God Eye''s energy was extremely abnormal.


    "It''s not the Ninth God Eye!" The Divine Punishment God was stunned. A God Eye energy other than the Ninth God Eye had appeared.


    "We''re stopping here." The Divine Punishment God glanced at the black elder before shifting away.


    At the same time, in the secret base of the Sage Faction, all the sages sensed something during their divinations and simultaneously vomited blood. That God Eye energy that had just emerged was not something they could casually make divinations on.


    Within the central six-sided black tower, Yu Tianwu was submerged in divination. A few moments later, he turned ghastly pale and a trickle of blood seeped from his lips. "Could his plan be the supreme Ancestral Eye?!"


    Back in the Life Sacred Land, the moment that eye on the center of the Heaven Lord''s forehead opened, the entire world seemed to shudder in fear. On the vast battlefield, everyone felt an invincible power that could not be disregarded. The Heaven Lord''s energy was soaring to the absolute limit, and he became a god of this world, all living things groveling at his feet.


    "How could this be? A God Eye?" The Life God was stunned.


    This world only had the Eight Great God Eyes. The Ninth God Eye was previously only a myth until Zhao Feng had appeared and turned myth into reality, but now another God Eye suddenly appeared?


    Even the Life God felt her Life God Eye tremble when she stared at that vertical eye at the center of the Heaven Lord''s forehead.


    The Heaven Lord''s vertical eye actually had eight pupils, all of them radiating bizarre and frightening energy.


    "God Eye?" Zhao Feng was also flabbergasted. The legends spoke of only nine God Eyes. If the Heaven Lord''s eye was a God Eye, what did his own eye count as?


    Zhao Feng''s Dream God Eye suddenly began to pulse, and the Dream Origin within his God Eye Dimension began to tremble in agitation.


    "What''s going on? Is that a God Eye?"


    "That''s impossible...!"


    Everyone on the battlefield had one question on their minds.


    Meanwhile, the Left Protector was all smiles, and he looked piously at the Heaven Lord. "His Excellency the Heaven Lord''s plan will definitely succeed!"


    "Life God, it seems like you''re very doubtful about my Heavenly Dao God Eye. Why don''t you try it for yourself?" The Heaven Lord pleasantly smiled.


    In truth, he had only recently completed the Heavenly Dao God Eye, and the Heaven Lord was still in the middle of exploring its powers.


    "Life... Deprivation!" The Life God''s eyes began to turn, and as they flashed with green light, Life energy began to pulse. Thwish!


    This invisible energy flew forward and engulfed the Heaven Lord.


    "Heavenly Dao energy!" The Heaven Lord appeared extremely excited as his eye erupted with light.


    Bzzz!


    The Heavenly Dao Eye at the center of his forehead began to turn, the eight pupils also beginning to revolve. A turbid and gray light spiraled out and melted into the surrounding space.


    "Reversal!" the Heaven Lord bellowed as he released his bizarre God energy.


    A moment later:


    Thwish!


    The power of Life Deprivation that the Life God had released suddenly turned around and engulfed the Life God. "Ah...!" The Life God was alarmed, clearly not expecting this development.


    Hwooo!


    The Life God''s skin dimmed as she aged a few years.


    The Life God immediately had her Life God Eye unleash powerful Life energy to nourish her own body. Gradually, she regained her normal appearance, but she found the shock in her heart much more difficult to pacify.


    Why had the God Eye energy she released turned around to attack her? Even with her experience as the Life God, she found this difficult to explain.


    Her own attack didn''t seem to have changed direction. What changed was space, the world itself....


    Down below, Zhao Feng also witnessed this sight.


    "To suddenly change without warning, it''s rather similar to the Dream God Eye''s power, but there seems to be some intrinsic difference." Zhao Feng began to think.


    The members of the Life Sacred Land also witnessed this sight, and their minds trembled. Even if the Heaven Lord had a God Eye, how could he immediately gain the upper hand and cause the Life God to suffer a loss?


    "Heh, try my attack!" The Heaven Lord loudly laughed.


    The Life God''s expression dimmed. She still could not understand what ability the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao Eye possessed, so she was forced to be cautious.


    Boom!


    The Heaven Lord activated his God-Devil Body and fired a golden-silver torrent of light from his fist.


    "Just a punch?" The Life God remained grim. She felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.


    The Heaven Lord extended a hand, and the Heavenly Dao God Eye on his forehead began to turn.


    "Fire!" the Heaven Lord bellowed.


    The golden-silver streak of light began to blaze with fiery light.


    "Lightning!"


    The fireball began to crackle with lightning.


    "Weight!"


    The lightning-fire ball suddenly became extremely heavy, slightly distorting the space around it.


    "How could this be?" The Life God was shocked.


    The attack unleashed by the Heaven Lord was constantly evolving, growing more powerful with each evolution.


    As the Life God was still reeling from shock, that lightning-fire ball was suddenly in front of her.


    Impossible to dodge!


    Boom! Bang!


    The world fell apart as a destructive storm of energy swept out. Space shattered, and the world seemed to be plunged into the end of days.


    The battle down below seemed to stop as everyone stared at the battle in the sky, their bodies shivering.


    What a powerful energy! Zhao Feng was also stunned.


    The Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye truly did seem to control the world, casually changing the laws and principles of the world as it pleased.


    Fwooosh!


    As the storm dispersed, it revealed a scene of devastation around the Life God. However, her divine body, bolstered by boundless Life energy, was rapidly recovering.


    "Retreat!" the Life God immediately ordered.


    All the Sacred Land members on the battlefield felt their minds tremble in disbelief. The Life God had conceded her loss!


    Even if the Heaven Lord had a God Eye, how could he be so powerful that the Life God would conceded and not dare to fight?


    However, all of them could see for themselves the state of the battle.


    "Retreat!" God King Radiant Peak repeated the order.


    The battlefield became a hive of activity as all the Sacred Land members retreated into the Life Sacred Land.


    Zhao Feng was no exception, and he was perhaps even the fastest to retreat. The Heaven Lord was simply too powerful. Even the Life God was no match for him. If the Heaven Lord wanted to capture Zhao Feng, not even the Dream God Eye would be able to save him.


    "Haha, Life God, you can consider again whether you want to submit to me!" The Heaven Lord heartily laughed, and the entire world seemed to shudder.


    "Submit? Just what is your goal? Where did that eye come from?" The Life God''s complexion was dark and cold.


    "I presume you have heard the legends of the supreme Ancestral Eye, no?" The Heaven Lord smiled as he asked.


    The legends said that, if one gathered together all of the Eight Great God Eyes, one could summon a supreme Ancestral Eye, omnipotent and able to mold the world according to its will!


    The Life God nodded, her face turning even more grim. She was gaining more and more information and producing countless theories, but she still could not be sure.


    "But as a God Eye, perhaps you don''t know that the supreme Ancestral Eye is called the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye," the Heaven Lord spoke once more, and then the God Eye on his forehead trembled, radiating a divine energy that ruled over this world.


    "What?" The Life God froze to the spot as if she had been struck by a lightning bolt.


    She wasn''t shocked over the name of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye, but over the fact that the Heavenly Dao God Eye was probably connected to the Ancestral Eye.


    "Your mission is over. Hand over the Life God Eye!" The Heaven Lord''s expression suddenly turned harsh and cold, brimming with intense desire.


    His plan was to create the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye and possess the greatest power of this universe. However, he did not have a God Eye, nor was he a match for a God Eye, so he could not seize their God Eyes, much less gather together the power of all Eight Great God Eyes.


    Thus, the Heaven Lord started with God Eye descendants. After billions of years of research and countless experiences, he had finally fused together eight Quasi God Eyes.


    When eight Quasi God Eyes were brought together, they could create a weak energy close to that of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye, but this fusion was extremely unstable and could fall apart at any moment


    The Heaven Lord had expected that he would need one hundred thousand years or even longer to resolve this problem, but then, the Left Protector had brought back Zhao Feng''s blood.


    Zhao Feng was the Ninth God Eye, so his blood, divine body, and soul had all been nourished and altered by the Dream God Eye. It was precisely his blood that allowed the perfect fusion of the eight Quasi God Eyes, fusing them into an eye that contained a small measure of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye''s power.


    This was a great surprise to the Heaven Lord.


    "Don''t even think about it!" the Life God angrily retorted, her beautiful face shining with resolve. She was clearly prepared to destroy herself if it came to it.


    Now that she knew the true background of the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye, she would never hand over the Life God Eye.

 1540 The Spacetime God

    Chapter 1540 - The Spacetime God


    The moment the Heaven Lord displayed the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye, the Life God understood that she was no match, so she decided to retreat.


    At present, the entirety of the Life Sacred Land''s forces had gathered within the Sacred Land''s array and had adopted a defensive position.


    The clouds of mystery hanging around the Heavenly Dao God Eye had also somewhat cleared. The Heavenly Dao God Eye was just the Heaven Lord''s name for it. It took a different form than the other Eight Great God Eyes and could not be compared to them. The Heaven Lord''s ultimate objective was the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye!


    "Life God, since you are not willing to submit, only death awaits you. Before the Heavenly Dao God Eye, even Gods will die!" The Heaven Lord looked down on the Life Sacred Land, his tone brimming with confidence.


    He already had a faint sliver of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye''s power. If he couldn''t even defeat one of the weakest of the Eight Great God Eyes - the Life God Eye - with this power, then he was truly letting it down.


    And once killed the Life God, he would take an enormous stride forward in his plan. If he killed a God Eye and replaced one of the eyes of the Heavenly Dao God Eye with its power, the Heavenly Dao God Eye would evolve once more. If he killed just a single God Eye, what came next would be much easier.


    "Killing a God?" Zhao Feng''s mind trembled. Only madmen would get such ideas, but Zhao Feng wasn''t sure if the Heaven Lord was incapable of this feat or not.


    At this moment, the Eye Intent of the Heavenly Dao God Eye was stronger than the Life God Eye. There was no disputing this fact. Besides that, the Heaven Lord had his Ancient Race bloodline and perhaps other unknown tricks.


    In short, the Heaven Lord was truly terrifying. Otherwise, the Life God would not have chosen to retreat.


    "Lord God, why don''t you get in touch with your good friends?" God King Radiant Peak messaged the Life God. The friends he referred to were the other God Eye Deities.


    In the past, the Heaven Lord was merely a God King expert, so the Life God naturally wouldn''t seek help from other God Eye Deities simply for the sake of one God King, but the situation was different now.


    "I''ve already sent a message." The Life God''s expression was dour as she stared at the distant Heaven Lord.


    The moment the Heaven Lord revealed his God Eye''s power, the Life God knew that this war would be very difficult to end. At that moment, she asked for help from the Divine Punishment God and Spacetime God.


    "Attack!" Hovering in the air, the Heaven Lord truly did seem like the god of the world as he gave the order to attack.


    Down below, all the members of the Heaven Defying Faction surged forward to surround the Life Sacred Land. At this moment, even the Illusion God Race and Nightmare Beast King, who had not completely yielded yet, changed their attitudes.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Attacks began to rain down on the Life Sacred Land.


    "Protect the Sacred Land!" the Life God called out.


    Bzzzz!


    The Life God Eye turned, pouring Life energy into the Sacred Land array to strengthen its defenses.


    At the same time, the other experts of the Sacred Land used their Divine Power to resist the attacks of the Heaven Defying Faction.


    "Hmph!" The Heaven Lord snorted and unleashed a world-shaking ancient energy.


    Boom! Bang!


    He swung his fists, firing off fists made of gold and silver energy.


    At the same time, he circulated the power of his Heavenly Dao Eye. The world suddenly changed as the Heaven Lord took control of its laws.


    Kabooom!


    The two golden-silver fists suddenly exploded with flames and light. Then they began to crackle with lightning and howl with wind. A moment later, the fists became so heavy that space itself twisted around them.


    "Not good!" The Life God grimaced.


    She was keenly aware of how powerful the Heaven Lord''s attacks where. Even with her Life God Eye, she was somewhat unable to deal with them. If the Sacred Land''s array was struck by these two fists, it wouldn''t be able to hold for long.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Life God circulated her Life God Eye and unleashed a vast wave of Life energy. The Heaven Lord''s attack struck two balls of dazzling green light, but a moment later, the Life God''s energy exploded with a bang.


    However, the Life God continued to control this Life energy, shaping it into a green mist that surrounded the array.


    Brrrooom!


    The Heaven Lord''s attack struck. The entire array fiercely shuddered. Those within the Sacred Land felt like the entire world was about to flip over.


    Fortunately, the shuddering quickly faded. The Life God managed to somewhat weaken the Heaven Lord''s attack, allowing the Sacred Land array to endure. Of course, the power of the many members of the Life Sacred Land had also played a significant role.


    "Lord, the Sacred Land''s array masters are in the middle of adjusting the array to convert all its offensive power into defense!" God King Radiant Peak messaged.


    "Okay!" The Life God nodded.


    Although the Life God Eye did not excel in combat, it was extremely suited for defense. This, combined with the Sacred Land''s array, would be enough to resist the assault of the Heaven Defying Faction. In this way, the two sides would enter a stalemate.


    The Heaven Defying Faction continued to barrage the Sacred Land''s array with attacks, but the members within the Sacred Land focused entirely on defense.


    This was the Life Sacred Land, where the Life God was at her strongest. A constant stream of Life Law energy flowed, propping up the Sacred Land.


    Not long later...


    "The array has been successfully modified!" God King Radiant Peak roared.


    He then chose thirty of the best God Lords to take up positions in the modified array where they could link their energies with the array. In this situation, they could pour their Divine Power into the array to strengthen its defensive power.


    Zhao Feng was one of these people.


    The Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye, is that the Heaven Lord''s goal?" Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    It was said that, when the power of the Eight Great God Eyes was brought together, one could summon the supreme Ancestral Eye.


    But there was another legend. It was said that everything in the world was simply a dream, and when the Ancestral Eye opened, the dream would end.


    He thought back to Yu Tianwu''s story about how the Heaven''s Legacy Race was not from this universe. Zhao Feng couldn''t help but wonder if the Heaven Lord wanted to use the power of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye to leave this universe.


    But the price for that was probably that the entire Fan Universe would be destroyed, extinguishing everything within it. Although this was only a legend that was impossible to verify, there was at least a possibility. And there was no telling what other dangers it could cause.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Sacred Land array became much sturdier, its defenses rising to a new level.


    The Heaven Defying Faction continued its assault. After all, a flaw would appear in the most flawless of defenses with enough time. Even a powerful array like this would eventually run short of energy.


    Moreover, the Heaven''s Legacy Race was not just sitting back. Its Destruction weapons possessed inordinate power, and several of its members were studying ways to break the array.


    "Hmph, this turtle shell will break eventually. The only thing awaiting all of you is death!" The Heaven Lord''s roars echoed around the Sacred Land.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Heaven Lord activated his Ancient Race bloodline and again punched. He circulated his Heavenly Dao God Eye so that his attacks reached unimaginable levels of power.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Sacred Land array was constantly swaying and shaking.


    This stalemate went on for three days. Under the constant barrage of the Heaven Defying Faction''s assault, the Sacred Land array was slowly weakening.


    "The array is damaged!" one of the array masters lamented.


    "There might have been a mistake when we were modifying the array!"


    Several of the array masters criticized themselves for this weakness.


    Everyone in the Sacred Land could sense the array''s defenses slowly weakening, and the terrifying power of the Heaven Lord had been deeply branded into their minds. Many of them found it hard to remain calm, their faces becoming stricken with fear.


    "The Heaven Lord''s goal is me. If the Sacred Land is breached, everyone, flee for your lives!" the Life God called out, at the same time radiating warm Life energy.


    The low morale of the Sacred Land somewhat improved. The comforting Life energy caused everyone to slowly relax. "Your Excellency!" God King Radiant Peak was incredibly concerned.


    "Relax. Everything will be fine." The Life God remained calm and unperturbed.


    She was not skilled in battle and could not fight directly with the Heaven Lord, but this did not mean that she would be killed.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The entire Sacred Land quaked. The Heaven Defying Faction sensed the weakening of the array and redoubled their assault.


    "Life Passing!" The Life God activated her eyes and engulfed the area outside the Sacred Land in the power of Life.


    Many of the Heaven Defying Faction members began to turn older, their life draining away. Moreover, this lost vitality condensed into seeds that began to bud.


    Kabooom!


    In the blink of an eye, thick and thorny vines had sprouted out and began to flail around, snatching away the life of everything they touched.


    The Life God''s sudden display of power caught the Heaven Defying Faction off guard.


    "Death!" The Heaven Lord''s expression chilled. Activating his Heavenly Dao God Eye, he sent a gray mist down below. The boundless Death energy across the battlefield instantly came under his control.


    Boom!


    This Death energy descended upon those dreadful vines. Life and Death battled against each other and eventually canceled each other out.


    "Life God, accept your fate! Once I obtain your God Eye Origin, I will seize the power of the God Eye Deities, one by one!"


    As the Heaven Lord bellowed, a formidable will soared into the heavens and swept over the world.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Heaven Lord activated his Ancient Race bloodline, forming a head of golden-silver light between his hands that radiated a heaven-shaking ancient energy.


    "Shatter!" The Heaven Lord pushed his hands forward, sending the gold and silver head down below.


    As the Heavenly Dao God Eye activated, the head erupted with flaming hair. The head''s eyes began to crackle with lightning, and then a layer of rock formed on its skin while its savage mouth began to breathe out the putrid energy of the Death Laws.


    Everyone in the Sacred Land who saw this dreadful sight trembled in fear.


    "What a powerful attack! He''s gaining a stronger understanding of the Heavenly Dao God Eye!" The Life God was also alarmed.


    The Heaven Lord''s attack was a fusion of the Ancient Race bloodline with the Heavenly Dao God Eye''s power. It was so strong that not even the Life God dared to block it directly.


    But suddenly, the Life God sensed a familiar energy, and it felt like a great weight was lifted off her heart.


    Kabooom!


    That God-Devil head descended with an invincible momentum and was on the verge of striking the Sacred Land array, but at this moment, the space in front of the array tore apart, transforming into a massive black hole.


    Kaboom!


    That God-Devil head of monstrous power was pulled into the black hole, upon which the hole was closed.


    A moment later, an old man with a genial face appeared above the Sacred Land, the spatial blurs layered over his body endowing him with an unfathomable and enigmatic aura.


    At the same time:


    Brrrooom!


    The distant sky suddenly exploded. That region of space was shattered, the earth blasted to smithereens, the heavens and earth thrown into chaos.


    "Spacetime, you got here in time." The Life God breathed a sigh of relief.


    The Spacetime God had intervened just now, using the supreme power of the Spacetime God Eye to transfer the Heaven Lord''s attack to another part of space.


    "This is the Heavenly Dao God Eye you spoke of?" The Spacetime God stared at the vertical eye of the Heaven Lord, his expression grim.

 1541 Spacetime God Versus Heaven Lord

    Chapter 1541 - Spacetime God Versus Heaven Lord


    The danger approaching the Life Sacred Land had been easily resolved by the sudden arrival of the Spacetime God. All the members of the Sacred Land breathed a sigh of relief, their hopes reignited.


    The Life God was not skilled in combat, but the Spacetime God was different. If the two of them worked together, how could the Heaven Lord not be defeated?


    "From the moment he decided to challenge the God Eyes, his defeat was decided!" God King Radiant Peak coldly snorted.


    However, he had to admit that the Heaven Lord was quite extraordinary to force the Life God and the Life Sacred Land into this state.


    The Heaven Lord had a dour expression, the terrifying energy radiating off his body causing the surrounding space to freeze. Even with the Life God hiding behind the Sacred Land''s array, he was highly confident in his ability to kill her within three days, but now that the Spacetime God was here as well, the two Gods working together would be rather troublesome.


    "That isn''t actually a God Eye..." The Life God explained to the Spacetime God what the Heaven Lord had said.


    The Heavenly Dao God Eye was just the Heaven Lord''s name for it. His eye could actually be even more powerful than a God Eye, and it even possessed a sliver of Heavenly Dao power. The Heaven Lord''s current goal was to kill the Eight Great God Eyes and obtain their God Eye Origins so that he could create the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye.


    "Then let me experience a power even greater than that of a God Eye Deity!" The Spacetime God''s expression went cold as he raised an interested brow at the Heaven Lord''s eyes.


    God Eye Deities truly were rather lonely existences. He couldn''t even remember how long it had been since he had encountered someone stronger than him. And with the Life God here, no matter how absurd the Heaven Lord''s eyes was, they still would not lose. Thus, the Spacetime God wanted to fight a battle with the Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    "As you wish!" The Heaven Lord''s eyes gleamed with cold and severe light.


    With the Heavenly Dao God Eye and the Ancient Race bloodline, he feared nothing.


    One had to realize that, in the Ancient Era, the Ancient Race had dominated the ten thousand races. It was not one bit weaker than a God Eye.


    Although the Heaven Lord could not compare to the great powers of the Ancient Race from that era, he was not that far behind.


    Thwish!


    The Heaven Lord barely finished speaking when an ethereal ray of light swept past his face, creating a spray of blood. "Dodged?" The Spacetime God raised a brow.


    The Spacetime God''s attack could ignore distance and instantly be in front of his foe. Ordinary people simply couldn''t react in time.


    However, the Heaven Lord still managed to dodge, only getting a cut on the face. This sort of wound was meaningless for the God-Devil Body and was instantly healed.


    "As expected of the Spacetime God!"


    "He injured the Heaven Lord!"


    The eyes of many people in the Sacred Land glimmered with excitement. This was the first time the Heaven Lord had been injured after revealing his Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    Down below, Zhao Feng was also paying attention to this battle. While the Life God was one of the weaker Gods when it came to combat, the Spacetime God was definitely one of the stronger ones.


    Thumpthump! Thumpthump!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye was becoming increasingly agitated, apparently because yet another God Eye had appeared in the area.


    Zhao Feng discovered that he became able to use more and more of the God Eye''s power as the war progressed. All this was because of the stimulation provided by the Life God Eye and the Heavenly Dao God Eye. Now, the Spacetime God had also arrived.


    "I wonder how many God Eyes I will be able to see!" Zhao Feng found himself rather excited.


    If the Dream God Eye could interact with all Eight Great God Eyes, it could further its awakening, allowing it to display even greater power.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Up in the sky was a scene of complete devastation. The fabric of space had been shredded into tatters, allowing forbidden spatial storms to wreak havoc. Any expert beneath the God Lord level that dared to approach would be instantly obliterated.


    However, the Spacetime God and the Heaven Lord were completely unaffected in this environment and continued to battle.


    "Weight!" The Heaven Lord focused on the void and began to exude a gray and turbid light.


    The eye turned once, and then the immense weight focused on that single area caused space to collapse. Thwish! Thwish! Thwish!


    Meanwhile, the Spacetime God left only blurs and spatial ripples in the air as he dodged the Heaven Lord''s instant-fire eye-bloodline techniques.


    "Even dodging multiple instant-fire eye-bloodline techniques! Only the Spacetime God is capable of this." Zhao Feng was stunned.


    Moreover, the Spacetime God was completely unaffected by the chaotic state of space around himself, even using his secret Space movement techniques. He truly lived up to his title of Spacetime God.


    The Spacetime God was fast, but the Heaven Lord was no snail. The Heaven Lord moved freely through space, unaffected by his environment. It was like he didn''t even reside in this dimension.


    Kabooom!


    The entire world was under the Heaven Lord''s control, fire and lightning shuttling back and forth.


    But the Spacetime God swam freely amid these endless attacks, avoiding everything.


    "Ancient Divine Fist!" The Heaven Lord''s eyes erupted with light as he drew back his hand and then fiercely punched.


    Under the bolstering of the Heavenly Dao God Eye, the fist of divine energy seemed invincible as it hurtled through the world. In its wake, it left behind pitch-black chaos that obliterated and destroyed all.


    Swish!


    The Spacetime God appeared behind the Heaven Lord and spoke in a deep and calm voice; "You cannot injure me."


    Blade-like Spacetime energy engulfed the Heaven Lord''s surroundings, but the Spacetime God himself had already vanished.


    Swoosh! Swish!


    These countless slivers of Spacetime energy had completely surrounded the Heaven Lord. The sharpness and speed of this energy would have instantly sliced and diced any ordinary God Lord to pieces.


    "If you can''t counter Spacetime''s speed, you will find it very difficult to defeat him." The Life God''s soft laughter was practically intoxicating.


    "Ah...!" The Heaven Lord''s grunts of pain could be heard coming from within that region of Spacetime energy. Suddenly, a terrifying energy exploded outward.


    Boom! Bang!


    Those Spacetime threads cutting back and forth were instantly snapped.


    The Heaven Lord was covered in countless wounds, but all of them instantly healed.


    "The God-Devil Body truly is rather problematic." The Spacetime God''s eyes turned serious and began to flash with silver light. He began to build up immense amounts of Spacetime energy, preparing to heavily injure the Heaven Lord.


    Thwish!


    The Spacetime God disappeared once more as he approached the Heaven Lord.


    "Reversal!" The Heaven Lord activated his Heavenly Dao God Eye and roared.


    Space for one million li around him suddenly trembled. A moment later, everyone could see the Spacetime God flying in the exact opposite direction of the Heaven Lord.


    "What''s going on here?" The Spacetime God''s heart turned grim. He was confident that his direction had not changed.


    "This move can reverse time and space, affecting the order of the world!" The Life God was stunned. This time, as a spectator, she could finally comprehend the principles of this attack.


    Just now, the Heaven Lord had used the Heavenly Dao God Eye to influence space itself, reversing it so that east became west and west became east.


    The Spacetime God''s direction did not change - the world had changed around him.


    Thwish!


    The Spacetime God turned around and once more began to charge at the Heaven Lord. He dodged the many attacks unleashed by the Heaven Lord, and a Spacetime energy that could pierce through all surged out of his eyes.


    "In this world, I am the only God!" The Heaven Lord activated his Heavenly Dao God Eye and bellowed, erupting with a strength that caused space to shake and shudder.


    The Spacetime God had an ill foreboding and immediately fled.


    You think you can run?" The Heaven Lord softly chuckled.


    Whoosh!


    The Spacetime God just started retreating when he suddenly realized that he was getting closer to the Heaven Lord, not farther.


    "Not good! He reversed the world again?" The Spacetime God''s expression turned dark, and he cursed. This ability truly was inconceivable and absurd.


    "Weight!" Terrifying weight descended, but the Spacetime God could not dodge this time.


    "Oh no!" the Life God cried out in alarm.


    The Spacetime God felt like his body was bearing the weight of one hundred thousand mountains.


    At this moment, he sensed imminent danger.


    "Time Hardening!" the Spacetime God activated his Spacetime God Eye and bellowed.


    The nearby spacetime gradually began to slow down and harden.


    "Break!" the Heaven Lord roared.


    A tyrannical energy obliterated the Spacetime God''s defense only moments after it began to take form. At this moment, a spark appeared on the Spacetime God''s body.


    Thwish!


    Using his Spacetime God Eye, the Spacetime God turned into an undetectable streak of silver light and vanished.


    When the Spacetime God reappeared, his body was being ravaged by fire, lightning, and ice. It turned out that, just before he fled, he was struck by the Heaven Lord''s instant-fire attacks.


    Spacetime energy surged as the Spacetime God transported these attacks away.


    Cough!


    The Spacetime God''s face was pale as he coughed. He was not the Life God, who was practically unkillable and able to recover from any attack.


    At this time, the Life God arrived at the Spacetime God''s side. She pressed a delicate hand onto his back and released a gentle and pure Life energy. Gradually, the Spacetime God''s injuries were healed, and his complexion returned to normal.


    "Let''s work together to end this," the Life God warmly spoke.


    "Okay." The Spacetime God nodded.


    It had been a very long time since he was injured by another, but the Heaven Lord truly managed to heavily injure him just now. He now acknowledged the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye and did not dare to continue acting arrogantly.


    Two God Eyes working together? I''ll finish off both of you!" The Heaven Lord chuckled, utterly fearless.


    With the Ancient God-Devil Body, his tenacity was on par with the Life God Eye, and the Heavenly Dao God Eye endowed with an unmatched ability to attack and control. He feared nothing!


    At this moment, a heaven-shaking voice arrived in the form of a sonic wave; "Your Heavenly Dao God Eye is the eye of a sinner! It will be harshly punished!"


    In a flash of lightning, a majestic middle-aged man appeared.


    "Divine Punishment God!" God King Radiant Peak called out in surprise.


    The other members of the Sacred Land showed expressions of respect. Three Gods had descended upon the world, and space itself had become distorted and chaotic. Those beneath the God Lord level no longer even dared to leave the array.


    "Three God Eye Deities are here!" Xin Wuheng sighed in amazement.


    "That''s not all...." Zhao Feng muttered. The response from his Dream God Eye told him that there was another God Eye nearby.


    Swish!


    Far away in the distance appeared a stooped elder wearing a shabby robe. This person was none other than the Divine Punishment God''s mortal foe, the Death God.


    "That scoundrel from the Heaven''s Legacy Race managed to produce such an incredible eye!" the Death God muttered in shock. He had also seen how the Heaven Lord managed to injure the Spacetime God. If he had been in that position, he would have found it very difficult to hold off the Heaven Lord''s assault.


    The Death God closed his eyes and activated his God Eye. After some time, he sent out a message; "The two of you, hurry up and get over here."

 1542 Counterattack on the Heaven Defying Faction

    Chapter 1542 - Counterattack on the Heaven Defying Faction


    At this moment, the Life, Spacetime, and Divine Punishment Gods were present at the Life Sacred Land.


    Across from them, the Heaven Lord''s expression was grim, his invisible rage sweeping through the area.


    "I didn''t think that even God Eye Deities like to bully people with their numbers!" The Heaven Lord looked up at the sky and raged.


    The three God Eye Deities were rather uncomfortable when they heard this, but they could not take on the Heaven Lord alone.


    In addition, the Life God could see that the Heaven Lord was continuing to explore the abilities of the Heavenly Dao God Eye. The Heavenly Dao God Eye was different from the Eight Great God Eyes; it had not reached its limit and could still evolve. It could not be underestimated.


    The Heaven Lord saw that the three Gods were unmoved.


    He roared, "Retreat!"


    No matter how much confidence he had, he could not possibly fight against three Gods at once.


    The Heaven Defying Faction immediately began to move. The situation was truly extremely unfavorable to them. "Strike!" The Spacetime God was impatient to avenge his injury.


    Thwish!


    Spacetime Law ripples appeared in the air, and then several hundred spatial rays shot toward the Heaven Lord.


    With an indifferent look, the Heaven Lord activated the Heavenly Dao God Eye, forming a wall of ice around himself that blocked all of the Spacetime God''s attacks.


    "He can''t be allowed to leave!" The Life God immediately acted.


    The Heaven Lord was already powerful enough to suppress one God Eye Deity. If he was allowed to leave unscathed, there was no telling what else he would get up to, and he might become even more difficult to deal with. The Heaven Lord''s most likely target would probably be the least skilled combatant, the Life God Eye.


    "If I want to leave, none of you can stop me!" The Heaven Lord jeered.


    At this moment:


    Brrrooom!


    The dark world suddenly turned bright and lightning flashed overhead. The power of Divine Punishment caused everyone to feel an instinctive dread.


    "Spacetime Shackle!" The Spacetime God used his eyes to take control of the surrounding spacetime. The space around the Heaven Lord shattered, congealing into an impassable spacetime wall that sealed the Heaven Lord within.


    "Life Deprivation!" The Life God activated her Life God Eye, sending out a dazzling jade-green light that passed through the spacetime wall and began to drain the Heaven Lord of his vitality.


    At the same time, boundless Divine Punishment descended from the heavens.


    The three Gods had attacked together, seeking to end their foe''s life.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    This terrifying storm of power devastated everything for several million li around. The armies on both sides did not dare to approach.


    "Break!" At the center of the explosion, the Heaven Lord roared, unleashing a power that could shatter all laws and rules.


    The Spacetime Law was obliterated, the power of Life Deprivation vanished, the Divine Punishment energy was repulsed.


    Standing in the sky, the Heaven Lord was clearly in a tattered and damaged state.


    The three Gods turned stern. The Heaven Lord was even able to fend off their lethal assault.


    "Life!" The Heaven Lord laughed as he used his Heavenly Dao God Eye to turn all the surrounding Law energy into Life energy that he prepared to absorb.


    "Don''t even think about it!" The Life God was alarmed, never imagining that the Heaven Lord could convert the energy of other Laws into the Life Laws.


    But she was the God of Life, so she immediately activated her Life God Eye and seized this Life energy.


    Although the Heavenly Dao God Eye was powerful, it could not contend against the Life God in the domain of Life.


    "Ancient Divine Fist!" Infuriated, the Heaven Lord activated his God-Devil Body, gathered up an immense amount of energy, and punched. The Heavenly Dao God Eye rapidly increased the power of this punch, and even the three God Eyes could only avoid it.


    "Life Sacred Land, hear my order! Attack the Heaven Defying Faction and destroy all!" The Life God issued an order to all the members of her Sacred Land.


    "Attack the Heaven Defying Faction!" God King Radiant Peak immediately stepped forward and led the members of the Sacred Land against the Heaven Defying Faction.


    At this time, the presence of the three Gods had the many experts observing the battle from the sidelines confident in the Life Sacred Land''s victory. With so many more people answering the Life Sacred Land''s call for help, the Sacred Land now had strength on par with the Heaven Defying Faction.


    Suddenly, a vast army skirted around the storm created by the battling Gods and attacked the Heaven Defying Faction.


    The Heaven Defying Faction began to rapidly retreat, the three massive warships taking on many passengers before turning around.


    "Defend!" The Left Protector took command.


    Where there was life, there was hope. As long as they could safely retreat, when the Heaven Defying Faction next appeared, they would be simply unstoppable.


    "Death Spirit Curse!" The Left Protector squeezed a drop of black-violet blood from his finger and began to form a spell. He soon began to radiate frighteningly sinister energy.


    Countless evil spirits manifested in the air. These were formed from the negative soul energy of all the experts that had died in this war. The Left Protector turned them into his Death Spirit Curse and used them to attack the Life Sacred Land.


    "Tree of Life Devouring!" God King Radiant Peak activated his Eye of Life, harnessing a vast quantity of Life energy to use a secret bloodline art.


    A green light flew toward the Heaven Defying Faction, the shape of a gray and ancient tree taking form around it. This ancient tree began to emanate a powerful devouring energy.


    The Heaven Defying Faction members nearby instantly felt their life draining away and their condition worsening. As the ancient tree absorbed the life of the Heaven Defying Faction members, it became larger and more real.


    Thwish!


    Gripping his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords, Zhao Feng flew into the battlefield, his lightning swords sweeping through the enemy.


    "Run! It''s the Ninth God Eye, Zhao Feng!" The many God Lords saw Zhao Feng attacking and paled in fear.


    Although the battle of the Gods had drawn the most attention, Zhao Feng''s killing of the Divine Emissaries, including the strongest Divine Emissary Wu, and also his battle with the Nightmare Beast King, had left a deep impression on everyone.


    But when Zhao Feng had his eye on prey, not a single one could escape.


    Thump thump!


    Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye rhythmically pulsed. The battle of Gods had not only stimulated the potential of the Dream God Eye, but also Zhao Feng himself.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng and his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords killed their way through the enemy army.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng noticed that the Spiritual Race elders and Zhao Yufei were being pushed back by a powerful Destruction Dragon Race energy.


    "A Divine Emissary!" Zhao Feng focused his eyes and rushed at a black-scaled man.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei''s eyes gleamed.


    Before the battle, Zhao Feng had placed a God Eye mark on Zhao Yufei''s body, which allowed him to rescue her many times.


    "It''s Zhao Feng!" The black-scaled man paled and took to his heels.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Eye!" Zhao Feng immediately activated his Dream God Eye and fired off a Primal Chaos Lightning Sword brand.


    Kacrack!


    The black-scaled man''s head exploded as Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy ravaged it.


    "Ah...!" The black-scaled man screamed, gripping his head as he fled.


    Fortunately for him, he had the Destruction Dragon Race bloodline, or else it would have been very problematic to be struck by this attack.


    "Where are you going!?" Zhao Feng immediately pursued, his body moving much faster than before.


    During the battle between the Spacetime God and the Heaven Lord, Zhao Feng was focused completely on the Spacetime God. After all, he also primarily cultivated Space and also cultivated Time on the side. Zhao Feng had comprehended much from observing the Spacetime God''s secret spatial movement art, which he had used to modify his own movement techniques.


    "Destruction Dragon Flame!" The black-scaled man saw that he couldn''t escape from Zhao Feng''s astonishing speed and utilized his Origin Destruction to unleash a Destructive attack.


    A sun of seething black flames hurtled toward Zhao Feng.


    After using the attack, the black-scaled man immediately fled.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng poured his Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy into his sword, causing it to swell into a massive pillar, and then he tossed it forward. The Destructive sun was instantly blasted to pieces, sending Destructive black flames sweeping through the surroundings.


    Although the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword''s power was somewhat exhausted in destroying the black sun, it had consumed a significant amount of Destruction Flame.


    Thwish!


    The sword and its remaining power continued to fly forward.


    "It''s so powerful!" The black-scaled man''s mind was shaken. Even though he was a Divine Emissary, was he not capable of even running away from Zhao Feng?


    Boom! Bang!


    He managed to dodge the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword, but the sword exploded in a ball of chaotic energy. The black-scaled man was thrown out of the explosion like a ragdoll, vomiting blood in the process.


    "It''s over!" a low voice spoke at the black-scaled man''s ear.


    At some point, Zhao Feng had appeared behind him.


    Kacrack!


    A Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword pierced through his chest, sending devouring and destroying energy tearing through his body. A few moments later, the black-scaled man was dust.


    Zhao Feng was already at a level where he could casually kill a Divine Emissary.


    In the distance, the Death God was observing the Gods battling in the sky and also observing the battle between the Life Sacred Land and the Heaven Defying Faction.


    "Is he the real Ninth God Eye?" The Death God glanced at Zhao Feng.


    "However, it seems like he''s joined Divine Punishment''s side. Since that''s the case, he can''t be left alive!" A sinister and bloodthirsty expression appeared on the Death God''s face.


    If Zhao Feng was allowed to completely mature, the Divine Punishment God''s faction would outnumber his, and he had no desire to lower his head to the Divine Punishment God.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The battle of Gods was still continuing, the immense energy making others not dare to approach and also unable to clearly make out what was going on. The Sacred Land war had also not stopped and was only getting more chaotic.


    Gradually, however, the Heaven Defying Faction army was surrounded. The Heaven''s Legacy Race members on the three warships had released various massive arrays that fused together into an incredibly powerful defensive array.


    "Prepare to open the passage and return to the Divine Kingdom!" the Left Protector ordered.


    On the other side, God King Radiant Peak led the experts of his side in a furious assault. The Heaven''s Legacy Race array trembled and swayed.


    "Don''t stop! We can''t let them enter their Divine Kingdom!" God King Radiant Peak stared ahead and shouted. If the Heaven Defying Faction returned to its Divine Kingdom, they would be very hard to deal with.


    "But they have so many tricks and the support of the Divine Kingdom''s power. We might not be able to stop them." Master Emptiness sighed.


    "Their Divine Kingdom is truly very sturdy...."


    For a moment, the Life Sacred Land was in an awkward situation. Once the Heaven Defying Faction returned to its Divine Kingdom, they wouldn''t be able to attack it even if they wanted to.


    "The inside of a Divine Kingdom is not guaranteed to be absolutely safe...." After thinking for a while, Zhao Feng muttered, his eyes flashing.


    He almost forgot that he had been to this Divine Kingdom before. As long as he had been somewhere before, Zhao Feng could use Thought Teleportation to travel there. However, carelessly entering a Divine Kingdom was rather dangerous. He needed to make some preparations first.

 1543 Infiltrate and Plunder

    Chapter 1543 - Infiltrate and Plunder


    The Heaven Defying Faction members remained within the Heaven''s Legacy defensive array around the entrance to the Heaven Defying Faction''s Divine Kingdom. The defensive array was further supported by the power from the Divine Kingdom, making it abnormally sturdy. Even when the Life Sacred Land joined with its many allies in assaulting it, they failed to break it.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Life Sacred Land continued to ceaselessly barrage the array. Even if they couldn''t break through the defensive barrier, they could at least hold the enemy down. The Heaven Defying Faction could not enter the Divine Kingdom all at once. Once their numbers dropped to a certain level, the defensive array would not have sufficient power and would be instantly blown apart.


    Zhao Feng did not follow the rest in attacking the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom. At this time, he was planning to use Thought Teleportation to infiltrate the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom. This was the best way to destroy the critical structures or even the core of the Divine Kingdom, making the Heaven Defying Faction''s plans to defend and leave this place go up in smoke.


    But he could not announce this plan or even tell God King Radiant Peak. If there was some spy of the Heaven Defying Faction in the Life Sacred Land that leaked this information, Zhao Feng would be like a lamb entering a tiger cave.


    Zhao Feng placed his clones, the Black Destruction Dragon, the many ancient beasts, and the little thieving cat into his own Divine Kingdom. This operation was rather dangerous, so Zhao Feng planned to rely on his own faction for it. He didn''t even tell Twilight Valley, the Giant God Race, or Xin Wuheng.


    Amid the chaotic crowd, Zhao Feng silently left. Once he withdrew into the rear, he entered his Divine Kingdom.


    Within his Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng used Thought Teleportation and vanished.


    The Life Sacred Land, which was completely focused on attacking the Heaven Defying Faction, did not notice his departure. Perhaps someone would notice that he was gone after some time had passed.


    But there was one person who noticed Zhao Feng vanishing: the Death God, observing everything from his distant position.


    "Where did that kid go?" The Death God''s eyes flashed.


    Why did Zhao Feng suddenly vanish by himself at a time like this?


    However, the Death God was alone at present, so he could do nothing until his allies arrived. Although the Heaven Lord was a threat to all the God Eyes, Divine Punishment''s group was enough to deal with him. Perhaps both sides would come away heavily damaged so that he and his allies could swoop in and obtain the final victory.


    Within the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom:


    Hisssss!


    Dreamy images suddenly appeared within a closed hidden chamber. A silver-clothed and silver-haired man slowly emerged within.


    "I''ve arrived!" Zhao Feng opened his eyes and observed his surroundings.


    This was the place where he was first imprisoned within the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom. This secret chamber was a jail cell, and the arrays and domains around it completely sealed it off. Zhao Feng naturally had the ability to force his way through, but that was certain to draw the attention of the Heaven Defying Faction.


    "I can''t alarm them."


    Zhao Feng used his left eye to see through the spatial barrier so that he could observe the scene outside the sealed dimension.


    Closing his eyes again, he used Thought Teleportation. Not much later, Zhao Feng disappeared from the secret chamber and appeared outside the domain. In this way, Zhao Feng easily left that sealed dimension.


    Even so, he did not act carelessly. This Divine Kingdom was bound to be covered in mechanisms, and one who did not understand that and moved around carelessly was bound to trigger them.


    This was the time for the little thieving cat to show is abilities. This was also why Zhao Feng had brought it along. Meooow!


    Zhao Feng took out the little thieving cat and had it lead the way.


    The mechanisms along the way were either silently disarmed or simply avoided.


    A little while later, Zhao Feng emerged from a giant building.


    He hid himself in space and began to observe. Within the Heaven Defying Faction, many members were flying back and forth between the three mountains, apparently very busy.


    "They probably aren''t that vigilant inside the Divine Kingdom. They never would''ve expected that someone would be able to silently infiltrate it." Zhao Feng chuckled to himself as he began to stealthily move.


    Those of weaker cultivation could not sense his existence while he avoided those of higher cultivation.


    "After taking such a big risk, I would be losing too much if I don''t take something good!" Zhao Feng glanced at the Heaven''s Legacy Race island to his left. If he remembered correctly, the majority of the areas on that island were devoted to raising precious plants, many of them being extremely rare specimens from the Ancient Era.


    Zhao Feng was anxious to increase his strength at this time. Even a small harvest from this place would be welcome. After making his plan, Zhao Feng began to move toward the left island.


    There were comparatively few people on this island, so Zhao Feng arrived with little incident. Guided by the little thieving cat, Zhao Feng went in through the entrance.


    After a short while, the man and cat arrived in a spacious area. Ahead of them was an extremely wide metal path, and on both sides of the path were independent dimensions that mimicked different environments where various precious and rare plants were grown.


    Perhaps because of the war, other than the guards at the entrance, there were only a few people here responsible for managing the plants. All of them had rather low cultivations.


    Zhao Feng silently approached and plunged them all into dreams.


    He began to wander around this vast building. The plants grown in the first few growing regions were rather low-level and not worth his attention.


    After traveling several hundred steps, Zhao Feng suddenly stopped.


    "Jade Snow Essence Fruit, Black Ice Heaven Spirit Grass...." Zhao Feng was taken aback as he looked through the transparent spatial barrier at the plants within.


    The plants within this dimension all belonged to the Ice and Snow Dao. The two plants he mentioned were all excellent supplements for Ice Dao cultivators. They could nourish and repair God Altars, condense Divine Power, and stabilize one''s foundations. These were extremely high-level ingredients appropriate for the First Heaven to the Second Heaven.


    The dimension on his right contained plants of the Fire Dao.


    Zhao Feng resisted the temptation and continued until he was almost at the end.


    "Time and Space plants!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed.


    The number of plants for these two Dao was smaller, but their value and rarity were far above the others.


    In order to be safe, Zhao Feng still used Thought Teleportation to enter these dimensions.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng vanished with a ball of dreamy mist and reemerged in one of the dimensions.


    "Great! Flowing Light Moon Spirit Fruit, White Moon Flower..." Zhao Feng delightedly looked at the plants grown in this dimension, even though many of them had yet to ripen.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat also jumped around in excitement.


    The combined efforts of man and cat proceeded to plunder everything in this dimension, leaving not even a blade of grass.


    Zhao Feng proceeded to the other side, where the Space Dao plants were being grown.


    This was a starry sky in which many rocks floated. The plants were being grown on these rocks.


    On a small island in the center of this starry expanse, Zhao Feng spotted a dark silver and slender tree. The space around it was creased and wrinkled.


    "I didn''t think that there would be a Space Spirit Tree too!" Zhao Feng eagerly approached the tree.


    The Space Spirit Tree was probably one of the most valuable plants in this dimension. The trunk itself was a priceless treasure that could be used to repair space-type supreme-quality divine artifacts and also serve as a material for various kinds of divine weapons. The sparkling Heaven Void Silver Leaves growing on the tree were also incredible treasures for cultivating the Space Laws.


    Zhao Feng immediately moved the tree away.


    The man and cat continued to plunder the dimension, but just as the two were engrossed in their thievery, movement came from outside.


    "Oh no!" Zhao Feng grimaced and immediately concealed himself along with the little thieving cat.


    Five figures emerged from the passage.


    "Curses! We''re going to be discovered!" Zhao Feng''s face turned grave. He hadn''t expected someone to come over while he was in the middle of stealing.


    Two of the five were wearing silver armor and were First Heaven God Lords. The other three were dressed in gray robes and were beneath the God Lord level.


    "Hurry and check things over!"


    "Once we''ve confirmed that there are no problems, we''ll leave!"


    The two silver-armored men urged.


    But the five men didn''t advance far before being struck dumb.


    "Oh no! Hurry and see if the plants have been stolen or not!" one of the five men grimaced and ordered.


    In this situation, they did not suspect outside invaders. Rather, they believed that this was the work of an insider.


    The three staff members went up to an instrument panel in front of one of the dimensions. By activating this panel, one could see the situation inside the growing area.


    "Oh no! All the Time-type plants have gone missing!" one of the workers yelled.


    "How bold! Someone is actually using the chaos to steal?" one of the silver-armored men, who had pitch-black skin, severely spoke.


    "Hurry and inform the elder!" the other silver-armored man said.


    "Hurry and see if the precious treasures in the Level Two Secret Chamber are okay!" one of the staff members anxiously said.


    If the treasures in the Level Two Chamber were lost, even if it wasn''t their responsibility, they would be punished all the same.


    The two silver-armored men were struck dumb by these words.


    Within the Space-type plant growing area, Zhao Feng''s eyes widened. "There''s still more inside?"


    And it seemed like what was inside was even more valuable.


    The three staff members and two silver-armored men went to the end of the path. The three staff members executed a Heaven''s Legacy secret art. A silver crack appeared on the wall and gradually outlined a square door that slowly began to open.


    The structure within was essentially the same as the one outside, but the space was even more stable.


    The five entered and examined the contents of one of the nearby dimensions through the instrument panel.


    "Whew! They''re all still here. Take a look!" One of the older staff members breathed a sigh of relief.


    The two silver-armored men took out message tokens and prepared to send a report.


    At this time, a figure emerged behind the five, though none of them noticed.


    Dream Dao energy emerged in Zhao Feng''s left eye, silently seeping into the souls of the five. Their bodies swayed and their eyes lost focus as they were drawn into his Dream Dimension.


    "Thank you for guiding the way!" Zhao Feng smiled. He hadn''t expected this place to have plants of even greater value.

 1544 Dangerous Operation

    Chapter 1544 - Dangerous Operation


    After taking care of the five staff members, Zhao Feng began to observe this higher-level plant cultivation region. Each planting area was an independent dimension. These were much smaller than the ones outside, but there were many more of them.


    "These plants are of an even higher level, but there are even more of them?" Zhao Feng felt this to be impossible.


    He stepped forward to look at the image displayed on the instrument panel. The insides of the dimension were dark, gloomy, and shrouded in black mist. The ground was littered with white bones, and on top of one of the piles of white bones was a strange black and white flower.


    "Deathsoul Bone-Eating Flower!" Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed. He had seen this kind of plant mentioned while reading books in the Heaven''s Legacy Race library. This was a plant that had been developed by the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    This plant could only grow on corpses that were thick with Death energy, but when experts died, their bodies would vanish, leaving nothing behind, so this environment had to be artificially created. It could be considered one of the Heaven Defying Faction''s more successful products.


    Zhao Feng clearly had no need for this plant, so he went to the next dimension.


    At this time, Zhao Feng understood why the high-level growing area had more dimensions. This was because each dimension was only growing a single plant, but each one was of incredible quality. For example, that Deathsoul Bone- Eating Flower could raise an incredible Death God Eye descendant.


    "This is... Nine Lightning Heaven Bamboo!" Zhao Feng''s left eye pierced through the spatial barrier and saw the treasure growing within the second dimension.


    The ground within was pocked with craters and charred black. Dark clouds seethed overhead, and Divine Punishment energy was constantly thundering down. At the center of this dimension were several translucent white pieces of bamboo that were surrounded by arcs of lightning. This was the Nine Lightning Heaven Bamboo.


    It was said that where Nine Lightning Heaven Bamboo grew was bound to be a forbidden zone of Heavenly Lightning, and ordinary people could not even hope to approach it. But for Lightning Dao cultivators, areas where this bamboo grew were superb areas to cultivate. This plant grew in lightning and gathered up Lightning essence. Not only could one use it to cultivate the Lightning Laws, it could also increase a cultivator''s ability to comprehend the Lightning Laws.


    Moreover, the stalks of Nine Lightning Heaven Bamboo the Heaven Defying Faction was raising were grown under Divine Punishment energy, making them extremely high quality.


    Zhao Feng immediately used his Thought Teleportation to enter.


    A small portion of the Divine Punishment energy in the sky instantly crashed down at Zhao Feng.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng released his own powerful Lightning energy to circle around him and block the attacks.


    He had experienced the Divine Punishment energy of the Divine Punishment God himself. Why would he be afraid of this trifling power?


    As he got closer and closer, the Divine Punishment energy assaulting him intensified. There was no doubting the power of this Divine Punishment energy, and even when Zhao Feng was focusing entirely on defense, he still felt rather hard-pressed.


    "Collect!" Zhao Feng got close to the Nine Lightning Heaven Bamboo and took it into his Divine Kingdom.


    Brrrooom!


    All the Divine Punishment energy in the sky hurtled toward Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng immediately fled to the edge of the dimension, allowing him to escape the assault of most of the Divine Punishment energy. Finally, he used Thought Teleportation and left.


    "This Nine Lightning Heaven Bamboo is of very high quality. It will definitely give a big boost to my Lightning Law!"


    Zhao Feng was very satisfied.


    However, he needed to pick up the pace. His actions in this place would be discovered sooner or later. If his enemies seized the initiative, he would be in trouble.


    Thus, Zhao Feng decided to take only a few more plants and then leave. After all, he still had another mission in infiltrating the Heaven Defying Faction''s Divine Kingdom.


    Upon inspection, Zhao Feng realized that the first eight areas corresponded to the traits of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    This made sense. After all, the Heaven Defying Faction didn''t pull its God Eye descendants out of thin air. It had paid an enormous price in raising these plants to create these experts.


    Zhao Feng went to the area for the Spacetime plant. This was a peaceful space in which many stones of various sizes floated. They gleamed with a white jade-like luster, and in the center of these jade-like stones was an abnormally dazzling round piece of jade that seemed to radiate moonlight.


    "Void Profound Spirit Jade!" Zhao Feng was stunned. He hadn''t expected to see such an incredibly rare treasure here.


    Ever since the shattering of the Desolate Continent, Void Profound Spirit Jade could only form in spatial fissures and forbidden torrents of chaotic energy, and this was only after countless years.


    This precious resource was why so many Space cultivators liked to drift through space. They hoped to come upon this treasure by chance.


    Zhao Feng immediately used his Thought Teleportation to go inside. Spacetime energy immediately engulfed him, slowing down Zhao Feng''s thoughts and movements.


    Zhao Feng immediately released his own Spacetime Law energy to oppose it. Otherwise, he would be crawling through this dimension as slowly as a snail.


    In truth, Zhao Feng could just destroy the dimension and save himself the trouble, but if he did this, he would expose himself.


    "Given the situation, I''ll have to leave after taking this treasure," Zhao Feng mentally calculated.


    Meanwhile, outside the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, the battle of Gods was still continuing and only getting more and more terrifying. Space was in absolute tatters, and if there was no Heaven Mending Race expert, the damage would need hundreds of millions of years to repair.


    The Spacetime, Divine Punishment, and Life Gods all had rather unsightly looks. The three of them were working together, and any other God would find their life in peril. But while the Heaven Lord was injured, he was not severely so.


    "Spacetime Fissure!" The Spacetime God''s eyes flashed with silver light.


    Hwoooo!


    A terrifying spacetime fissure appeared in the distance, the Spacetime energy infused within it able to obliterate all in its path. This spacetime fissure rapidly pursued the Heaven Lord.


    "Hammer of Divine Punishment!" The Divine Punishment God activated his own eyes, his Eye Intent taking control of the boundless Divine Punishment energy in the sky and molding it into a hammer.


    Meanwhile, the Life God took control of countless thorny vines that locked down all the paths the Heaven Lord could use to retreat.


    The three Gods had surrounded the Heaven Lord with their attacks.


    "Break!" The Heaven Lord activated his Heavenly Dao God Eye, unleashing an energy that destroyed all laws and rules, obliterating everything around him.


    "It''s that energy again!" The Life God''s heart sank, a look of alarm on her face.


    After battling with the Heaven Lord for so long, they had developed some understanding of his abilities. The most problematic was the power the Heaven Lord used just now; it could instantly destroy all nearby laws and rules. This also meant that when he was releasing this energy, the Heaven Lord was essentially impervious.


    Of course, such a powerful move took a lot of energy and had a rather large interval between uses.


    "Whew!" The Heaven Lord gasped for air as he coldly stared at the three Gods.


    Fighting these three Gods, if he had only the Heavenly Dao God Eye and not his God-Devil Body, he probably would have been defeated long ago.


    "If you want someone to hate, hate yourself! This is all the result of your sins!" the Divine Punishment God coldly said. The Heaven Lord glanced at the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Life Sacred Land was continuing to incessantly attack the Heaven Defying Faction''s defensive array. At this time, more and more experts were joining the Life Sacred Land, and their assault was so powerful that the Heaven Defying Faction members were finding it very hard to smoothly escape into the Divine Kingdom.


    If the stalemate continued, the Heaven Defying Faction was bound to lose.


    "Let''s fight again later...." The Heaven Lord glanced at the three Gods before retreating back to the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom.


    "Want to leave!?" the Spacetime God roared as he rushed forward to stop him.


    "Ancient Divine Fist!" The Heaven Lord immediately activated his Ancient God-Devil Body and unleashed a tyrannical punch. The Spacetime God was forced to fall back.


    The shift in the battle of Gods drew the attention of both sides of the battle. God King Radiant Peak saw the Heaven Lord flying over and felt his legs shake.


    "Get back!" God King Radiant Peak hastily ordered.


    The Heaven Lord could survive while being attacked by three Gods. He had already proved his strength. The Heaven Lord needed to fear no one except the Gods.


    At this time, the Heaven Lord punched down at the Life Sacred Land members.


    "Retreat!" The members of the Life Sacred Land were scared out of their wits and fled with all their might, but the Heaven Lord''s attack was simply too fast and was instantly upon them.


    "Spacetime Shift!" In the end, the Spacetime God intervened, creating a spatial black hole that moved the Heaven Lord''s attack away.


    The Heaven Lord used this chance to open the passage to the Divine Kingdom. In a flash, all the members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race started surging inside.


    "Don''t even think about it!" The Divine Punishment God hurtled down, surrounded by dazzling lightning.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Heaven Lord punched with both arms, directly taking the attack and protecting the members of the Heaven Defying Faction. In the end, all the remaining members entered the Divine Kingdom.


    "Wait until I cut his Divine Kingdom open!" The Spacetime God snorted.


    Swishswishswish!


    The three Gods descended and unleashed their strongest attacks.


    If the Heaven Lord was allowed to leave, the three of them would lose all their dignity while also allowing a major threat to escape.


    "Reversal!" The Heaven Lord instantly reversed the heavens and earth and began to flee with his immense Divine Kingdom.


    At this time, he needed to stand guard outside the Divine Kingdom. There were truly very few things in the world that could stand against the attacks of three Gods. The Spacetime God, in particular, could easily inflict severe damage to the Divine Kingdom.


    However, the Heaven Lord was facing three Gods alone, and in the end, he was somewhat unable to hold.


    "Activate the Heaven Defying Divine Kingdom defensive array!" the Heaven Lord sent a message into the Divine Kingdom.


    In the Divine Kingdom, in an underground palace in the central island, an ancient elder gripping a gray-white wooden staff, his white beard reaching to the floor, ordered, "Activate the Divine Kingdom''s defensive array!"


    "Yes, Right Protector!"


    Massive instruments stood in this palace, surrounded by many operators.


    "Activate the Divine Kingdom defensive array!"


    The order spread out with machine-like efficiency.


    At the same time, in the plant growing area on the left island:


    "I got it!" Zhao Feng smiled as he gripped the round piece of jade - the Void Profound Spirit Jade.


    After taking it, Zhao Feng began to make plans to leave, ceasing to indulge in his greed.


    Upon reaching the passage, Zhao Feng was able to detect countless people returning to the Divine Kingdom with his left eye.


    "So many people!" Zhao Feng paled.


    The members of the Heaven Defying Faction had all returned to the Divine Kingdom. If he was exposed, he would be surrounded by the full force of this army.


    But upon careful observation, Zhao Feng realized that he hadn''t been discovered yet. These members returning to the Divine Kingdom had gathered on the distant horizon and were apparently laying down some sort of array.


    "It seems like the battle isn''t over yet," Zhao Feng said to himself.


    He used the Heavenly Closure Seal to seal his energy, including his God Eye energy, then he changed his appearance, concealed himself, and began to move.


    Zhao Feng had not forgotten that his goal in infiltrating the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom was to destroy critical structures of the Divine Kingdom, perhaps even the core. This would severely damage the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom''s defensive abilities, allowing the Life Sacred Land to smoothly break in.


    Zhao Feng began to approach the central Heaven''s Legacy island.


    Zhao Feng noticed that the Heaven Defying Faction members simply weren''t looking out for outside invaders. Perhaps this was because they believed it was impossible for an outsider to get in without anyone noticing.


    While the experience was harrowing, Zhao Feng was actually in little danger.


    "The core of the Divine Kingdom is probably over there." Zhao Feng cast his eyes toward the forbidden ground. He had become sure of this conclusion during his period of captivity.

 1545 Entering the Core

    Chapter 1545 - Entering the Core


    The core of the Divine Kingdom is probably over there." Zhao Feng cast his eyes toward the forbidden ground. He had become sure of this conclusion during his period of captivity.


    By now, Zhao Feng had already changed into a suit of silver armor, becoming one of the guards of the Heaven Defying Faction. With all the Heaven''s Legacy Race members returning, the chances of him being discovered had greatly increased, so Zhao Feng decided to wear a disguise. Unless a God King expert carefully examined him, it would be very difficult to find anything suspicious.


    The members within the Heaven Defying Faction simply couldn''t imagine that there was an undiscovered intruder, so their vigilance was rather low. Moreover, given the chaos of the battle, there was no God King who had the time to carefully observe a guard like Zhao Feng.


    However, if he approached the forbidden area around the core, that would change. There was no one around the forbidden zone, so if Zhao Feng got close, he would be far too obvious and attract too much attention. Thus, Zhao Feng stopped near the forbidden zone and began to think.


    At this moment:


    Hisssss!


    A white crystalline array took shape within the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom. As it was set up, powerful streams of energy began to flow across it. White rays of light began to extend from the array, linking with other parts of the Divine Kingdom. Within the array and around it, many experts began to operate crucial parts of the array.


    If one wanted to fend off the attacks of three Gods, the innate defensive capabilities of the Divine Kingdom were far from enough. An energy transference array needed to be set up so that the members of the Heaven Defying Faction could supply the Divine Kingdom with power.


    In the distance, three golden-armored men flew toward the forbidden zone.


    "You, come here!" One of them, a pale-faced man, pointed at a silver-armored guard and called out.


    "Yes!" The silver-armored guard turned in shock and immediately rushed over.


    Golden armor signified a Second Heaven, and those that wore it belonged to the highest class of guard, answering only to the upper echelon of the Heaven Defying Faction. The silver-armored guards had to obey the orders of a golden- armored guard.


    ¡°Follow us to guard the forbidden zone," one of the golden-armored guards said.


    The silver-armored guard paled while the people nearby trembled and instantly began to move away.


    Everyone knew that the forbidden zone was the core of the Divine Kingdom. Now that the Divine Kingdom''s defensive array was being activated, powerful energy was bound to erupt from the core. This energy was not something that an ordinary God Lord could endure.


    "At crucial times, everyone suddenly becomes afraid of death! You, get over here!" The pale-faced man disdainfully spat, and then he spotted a silver-armored guard who was slow to move and called out.


    "Yes!" This slow guard was Zhao Feng. He pretended to be unwilling as he flew over.


    The three golden-armored guards gathered a few more members before making their way toward the forbidden zone.


    At this time, the forbidden zone was already beginning to pulse with frightening energy. Even though it was separated from the outside world by an array, the energy could still be felt.


    "When the Divine Kingdom''s array is activated, the defenses around the core will weaken. In order to prevent any mishaps, you must guard this area!" the pale-faced guard sternly said.


    Normally, the forbidden zone was deserted because of all the traps around it, but this was a critical moment. If there was any sort of mishap around the core, it needed to be repaired immediately. Thus, people needed to be here to keep watch.


    In truth, sending Third Heavens or even God Kings would make things much safer, but there was a manpower shortage at this time, so they could only send the lower-level God Lords.


    Kabooom!


    Massive explosions could be heard within the core, and the terrifying energy was only increasing in power.


    Outside the array, the silver-armored guards formed their Divine Power into barriers to protect themselves.


    Suddenly, with a massive boom, a terrifying pulse of Divine Power slammed into the array. At the same time, the large array in the distance unleashed its own pulse of terrifying Divine Power that connected and fused with the Divine Kingdom.


    With this, the Heaven Defying Faction''s most powerful Divine Kingdom array was complete. Even a God would need some time to break into the Divine Kingdom.


    Near the forbidden zone, the area within the array was bursting with energy. Although it had not leaked out, the guards outside were still frightened.


    Heh, if the defensive array were to shatter, this terrifying power would be enough to kill a First Heaven God Lord. Even a Second Heaven would only be able to retreat! As Zhao Feng observed the forbidden zone from close up, he smiled.


    He circulated his Thought power and his Realization ability. This was a Thought ability, and as long as the difficulty of completion wasn''t high, he could use it without using Dream Origin energy.


    Zhao Feng turned his left eye to the back of the array. Suddenly, a tiny hole appeared in the array.


    Kaboom!


    Terrifying Divine Power gushed out. Cracks instantly began to spread out from this hole, increasing its size.


    The guards never would''ve imagined that such a mishap would occur right from the start.


    Boom! Bang!


    A storm of dark gray energy swept forth. The silver-armored guard closest to the gap was instantly engulfed by this storm of energy, his barrier of Divine Power shattering and his body turning to dust.


    Zhao Feng used this chance to enter the array.


    Boom! Bang!


    The other silver-armored guards were knocked away.


    "Not good! A hole appeared in the array!" The golden-armored guards retreated in alarm and released large amounts of Divine Power to resist the impact.


    At the same time, this activity alarmed the other people in the Divine Kingdom.


    Deep underground:


    "What''s going on!?" the Right Protector called out.


    "The forbidden zone array has been damaged!" an operator immediately reported.


    Only a true member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race could repair the array, but the majority of the Heaven''s Legacy Race members had low cultivation levels.


    However, the Right Protector still managed to find an appropriate man for the job. This person was none other than Yu Liuping, and he quickly arrived at the Divine Kingdom''s core.


    "Elder Yu!" The nearby guards bowed.


    "Did you notice anyone suspicious just now?" Yu Liuping''s gaze was dark as he questioned.


    "No." This was the answer he obtained from everyone.


    "There were eight people in all standing guard around the forbidden zone. Two of them were close to the break in the array and were killed in the line of duty...." the pale-faced man reported.


    "Mm." Yu Liuping nodded and ceased worrying.


    The energy was at its strongest at the moment it broke through the array. If caught off guard, a First Heaven God Lord had no chance to resist.


    He also inspected the inside of the array. Not sensing anything strange, he began the repairs.


    The forbidden zone had three levels of arrays. The outermost array was the defensive isolation domain while the other two were weakening barriers. Any energy that passed through these arrays would be weakened to a certain extent.


    Just now, Zhao Feng ventured into the second array, using his Realization ability to repair the gap he had made.


    The energy within the second array was so powerful that even a Second Heaven God Lord would be instantly killed. However, as a peak Second Heaven, Zhao Feng naturally had nothing to fear, and he ventured into the depths.


    What was before him now was the third array. The energy inside was so great that even a Third Heaven wouldn''t last a second.


    "If it can prevent even Gods from getting in, the core of this Divine Kingdom must be extraordinary!" Zhao Feng was wondering if he should enter the third array.


    A powerful ripple of energy suddenly approached Zhao Feng.


    "Kid, who are you?" an indistinct soul voice rang out.


    Alarmed, Zhao Feng focused his eyes and spotted an ethereal robe floating in a storm of Divine Power. Various spatial barriers surrounded the robe, sheltering it from the storm of energy around it.


    This is...?" Zhao Feng was startled. It was the robe that had spoken just now.


    He activated his left eye so he could get a clearer view of the insides of the array.


    The robe was crystalline white and covered in mysterious silver patterns. It glimmered with a gorgeous light. Moreover, in the center of the third array was a fourth array!


    "Kid, you''re quite bold to dare and sneak in here!" the robe spoke again.


    "An Ancestral Artifact?" Zhao Feng probed.


    Ordinary divine weapons would have never been able to safely remain in that place.


    "I..." The robe was at a loss for words.


    When it was whole, it truly was an Ancestral Artifact, but now, it was a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact that had been forged from many fragments. But if it said such a thing, it would just be debasing itself.


    Seeing as the robe said nothing, Zhao Feng could guess that it was a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. After all, he had already seen the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell.


    "Kid, you''re not a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, so you''re truly foolish for coming here!" The robe began to exude an imposing aura as it spoke in an accusatory tone.


    "Why don''t you leave this place with me?" Zhao Feng smiled and proposed.


    His goal right now was to damage the internal structure of the Divine Kingdom, perhaps even the core. And now, in the core, he had discovered this Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    From the look of it, the immense energy unleashed by the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact was of great assistance to the Divine Kingdom''s defenses. If he took it away with him, wouldn''t he have reached his goal?


    Zhao Feng was more confident in this line of action. The innermost fourth array had many kinds of Ancestral Artifact fragments. These probably allowed the core to function and provided it with different kinds of energy. However, the array was surrounded by spatial energy that blocked the senses and vision.


    It was clear that this was the robe''s work. Otherwise, Zhao Feng would not have mistakenly believed that there were only three arrays. From this, one could see that the robe had some hope in the intruder and wanted to leave.


    "Kid, just you!?" the robe angrily bellowed.


    Outside the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, the Heaven Lord and the Divine Kingdom were fleeing.


    But he was being pursued by the Spacetime God Eye, who had also increased the speed of the other two Gods. Lightning, Spacetime energy, and thorny vines intersected as the three Gods'' attacks struck.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Heaven Lord used a large amount of eye-bloodline energy and power from himself and his Divine Kingdom to block the attacks.


    "What a sturdy Divine Kingdom!" The Spacetime God''s mouth twitched.


    "We can''t be careless. They''re behind us...." the Life God warned.


    Ten million li behind them, three figures were rapidly flying. One of them was a stooped old man wearing tattered black robes. Another was an elder wearing a resplendent golden robe, his golden eyes more dazzling than the sun. In the very back was a well-endowed middle-aged woman in a dark purple gown, her entire body exuding a dark and oppressive energy.

 1546 Inside Job

    Chapter 1546 - Inside Job


    In the Divine Kingdom core, Zhao Feng and that crystalline white robe were separated by a single array.


    "Kid, just you!?" the robe roared.


    Firstly, it took offense to Zhao Feng''s tone. The first question left it speechless and the second was asking for a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact to go with Zhao Feng! Secondly, it did not believe that Zhao Feng was able to leave this place.


    "You also want to leave this place, right? If you miss out on this chance, you''ll be stuck here forever." Zhao Feng lightly chuckled, apparently taking the robe''s anger in stride.


    The fourth and innermost array contained many different kinds of Ancestral Artifact fragments that had been organized into some complicated Heaven''s Legacy array. When the crystalline robe sensed Zhao Feng coming, it used its power to isolate these Ancestral Artifact fragments, preventing them from seeing or sensing anything. This caused Zhao Feng to initially believe that there were only three arrays.


    The robe had done this because it had some hope in this intruder. It wanted to leave and did not want Zhao Feng''s identity to be exposed.


    "Kid, you''re just a mere peak Second Heaven. I don''t know how you managed to get in, but leaving will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens in a single step," the crystalline robe solemnly said.


    Although it had escaped the control of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, it would not act recklessly. If it chose to follow Zhao Feng but Zhao Feng failed to escape, the Heaven''s Legacy Race would capture it again, leading to disastrous consequences. And even if they successfully escaped, it would be far too easy for the Heaven Defying Faction to deal with a mere Second Heaven like Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng fell quiet for a few moments. Until the crystalline robe agreed to join him, he could not divulge to it the secret of Thought Teleportation. After all, if the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact found out who he really was, it might tell the Heaven Defying Faction.


    "At this moment, the Heaven Defying Faction is at war with three God Eye Deities. The members of the Heaven Defying Faction are too busy to worry about anything else, so leaving won''t be difficult. In addition, I''m a member of the God Eye camp," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    "Three God Eyes?" The robe was rather astonished.


    It had sensed the battle going on, but it didn''t know that the opposing side was three God Eyes. However, it had some understanding of the Heaven Defying Faction''s power, so it was only astonished for a few moments.


    It initially believed that Zhao Feng was a member of the Heaven Defying Faction who was using the chaos of the battle to steal some treasure and flew in here. It hadn''t expected for Zhao Feng to actually be an outsider. A peak Second Heaven that could infiltrate the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Divine Kingdom and enter the core could not be simple.


    "Then let me tell you something else. As soon as I leave this array, the Heaven Defying Faction will notice. Do you think you have a chance of taking me away now?" The crystalline robe''s voice was gloomy.


    This was the crucial point. Otherwise, it would have used its own strength to easily break through the three arrays.


    "I do," Zhao Feng calmly replied, his expression extremely serious.


    This answer left the robe dumbfounded. Of course, it was still suspicious.


    "Think it over carefully. I don''t have much time here. I''ll probably be discovered soon." After saying this, Zhao Feng entered his Dream Divine Kingdom.


    The core of the Dream Divine Kingdom had a time cultivation effect where the passing of four hundred days inside was equivalent to just one day in the outside world. Zhao Feng used this time to solidify his foundation and then make plans for breaking into the Third Heaven.


    On the central island, in the underground base, the Right Protector was observing the situation outside through a giant screen in front of him.


    "The three God Eyes are ceaseless in their pursuit. In this situation, even if the Heaven Lord takes out some of his trump cards, it won''t be of much use." The Right Protector''s white brows locked together.


    At this moment, he received a message. "Protector, the plant growing area has been robbed, even the Level Two Secret Chamber..."


    The Right Protector''s eyes went wide. Someone had somehow managed to plunder the Heaven Defying Faction''s plant cultivation area without any of them noticing?


    The core...!" The Right Protector suddenly remembered something.


    Earlier, the defensive array around the core had suddenly shattered. Although the incident was rather sudden, there was nothing suspicious about it. However, the knowledge that the plant cultivation area had been plundered changed everything.


    A sheet of frost emerged on his face and his body went rigid.


    "I''m leaving for a bit!" the Right Protector called out and then vanished.


    "Just who is it?" The Right Protector rapidly made his way toward the forbidden zone.


    "Right Protector!" The guards instantly bowed.


    No one expected the Right Protector to come personally. Had he come to interrogate them about their mistake from earlier? They were all fearful of what might happen next.


    But the Protector said nothing, instead forming a spell as if preparing to open the array.


    Back in the core, within the second array, a spatial ripple alarmed Zhao Feng within his Divine Kingdom.


    "Kid, I agree!" The anxious voice of the robe rang out.


    Zhao Feng immediately rushed out and soon realized what had the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact so anxious.


    "Okay! Since you plan to follow me, first destroy the Divine Kingdom''s core!" Zhao Feng immediately ordered.


    Three God Eyes were attacking the Divine Kingdom at this time. The moment its defenses were weakened, the three Gods were certain to easily break in.


    "Kid, you aren''t just using me, right?!" the crystalline robe bellowed.


    It was alarmed by Zhao Feng''s request because it sensed the arrival of a God King expert. It seemed like the Heaven Defying Faction had discovered that there was an intruder.


    It wanted to see how Zhao Feng would escape with it in this situation - what sort of tricks he had up his sleeve - but Zhao Feng didn''t seem panicked, even asking it to destroy the Divine Kingdom''s core first.


    "Fine! Kid, I''ll trust you just once." The crystalline robe had no other choice but to comply. Zhao Feng had been here for some time and it had never informed the Heaven Defying Faction, which meant that it had failed to report an intruder.


    Swish!


    The robe flew up to the fourth array and began to use spatial energy to disrupt the formation. The Divine Kingdom''s defensive system instantly fell into disarray, the defensive array beginning to flicker.


    "I can only disrupt it!" the robe cried out, and then it used a powerful Space Law energy to charge at the third array in a streak of ethereal light.


    This array was not a defensive isolation array, so the robe was able to easily pass through.


    At this moment, the furious voice of the Right Protector came from outside the array; "You dare to betray the Heaven Defying Faction!?"


    By "you," the Right Protector was referring to Zhao Feng and the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. On the surface, Zhao Feng was a guard of the Heaven Defying Faction. Moreover, the Right Protector did not believe that an outsider would be able to infiltrate the Heaven Defying Faction undetected and plunder the resources they had been growing.


    "Kid, what''s your plan?" The crystalline robe was clearly afraid.


    "No hurry." Zhao Feng was unpanicked.


    If the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact had agreed earlier, he could have just used Thought Teleportation to leave, but there was no time now.


    However, Zhao Feng had gotten much stronger. He was no longer like he was in the past, when he couldn''t even fight back against God King Charflame while working together with others.


    He had already killed the strongest Divine Emissary. What more was a God King? And if he had the help of a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, it would be like giving a tiger wings.


    Bzzzz!


    In a flash of light, his disguise vanished, revealing his true appearance.


    "Zhao Feng, it''s you!?" The Right Protector stared at Zhao Feng''s face in disbelief.


    The Ninth God Eye that they pursued had inexplicably infiltrated the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, stolen many of their plants and resources, and was even attempting to damage the Divine Kingdom''s core. The Right Protector felt an excruciating pain in his heart.


    The crystalline robe was also rather surprised. This kid was apparently rather famous.


    However, when it asked Zhao Feng if he had a plan, Zhao Feng just replied "No hurry." This made the robe want to curse. This was a mere peak Second Heaven, his opponent was a God King, and he was within the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, and yet he was saying "No hurry"!?


    Boom! Bang!


    Zhao Feng unsealed the Ninth God Eye and released his Divine Power and Law energies. Vast torrents of Primal Chaos energy began to wreak havoc within the forbidden zone.


    "Zhao Feng, stop!" the Right Protector called. His eyes activated, unleashing dark clouds of mist.


    The Pseudo Ancestral Artifact had already greatly disrupted the core''s operation. The defenses of the Divine Kingdom were weak at this time, and if a major battle took place here, it would undoubtedly affect the core.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The entire Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom began to shake and sway.


    The three God Eyes naturally seized the excellent chance Zhao Feng had provided them. Suddenly, a gap appeared in the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom.


    The breaking of the Divine Kingdom affected the array. All the members within the array vomited blood.


    At the same time, in the Divine Kingdom''s core, the fourth array shattered, unleashing a destructive storm of energy.


    "Let''s get out of here first!" Zhao Feng immediately barked.


    The Pseudo Ancestral Artifact had no other option except to sweep up Zhao Feng and leave. "No! How could this be?!" Extreme hatred appeared on the Right Protector''s face.


    Thwish!


    The Right Protector immediately pursued the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact and Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, outside the Divine Kingdom:


    "What''s going on?" The Heaven Lord''s face turned dour.


    What happened in the Divine Kingdom? Why did the defensive array suddenly weaken, allowing the Spacetime God to punch open a hole in it?


    He could no longer keep traveling with the Divine Kingdom. God-level energy was simply too powerful. If it got in through the gap, it would unleash a calamity on the insides of the Divine Kingdom.


    Boom!


    With a slap of his palm, the Heaven Lord sent the Divine Kingdom flying several million li away.


    Inside the Divine Kingdom, the heavens and earth reversed.


    Zhao Feng and the Right Protector had just charged out of the forbidden zone.


    "Zhao Feng, I''ll kill you!" The Right Protector had a vicious gaze. His left eye exuded vast clouds of mist, and many black silhouettes emerged from it. All of them were Samsara Immortal Bodies. Their leader was a God King, and beside it were two Third Heavens and many more Second Heaven and First Heaven God Lords.


    "You''re the one who revived Divine Emissary Chang!" When Zhao Feng saw the Right Protector''s Eye of Samsara, he made a guess.


    The Right Protector was not skilled in battle. His duty was to manage the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom and revive some of its members.


    "Kill!"


    At this moment, the Life Sacred Land army charged in through the gap. The Heaven Defying Faction members had to face this external foe.


    "See? We can escape now, right?" Zhao Feng smiled.


    In this situation, even though they were exposed, they would not be surrounded by the entire Heaven Defying Faction.


    "Are you blind? You''re facing a God King!" the robe grumbled.


    Even so, the situation was much better than it had imagined it would be. But this was far too risky. If the three God Eyes had not made a hole in the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom on time, they would have been finished.


    "A God King? So what?" Zhao Feng laughed.


    He wanted nothing more than to deal with this Right Protector at this moment.

 1547 Battle Against a God King

    Chapter 1547 - Battle Against a God King


    Outside the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, the three God Eyes were in a distant standoff with the Heaven Lord.


    Your fate is sealed. Die." The Divine Punishment God Eye''s tone was cold, his face indifferent.


    "Haha, even if the fate of the Heaven Defying Faction is sealed, you can''t kill me!" The Heaven Lord savagely laughed. As long as he wasn''t dead, nothing was finished.


    Swish!


    The Heaven Lord waved a hand, and a golden saber covered in strange and simple designs appeared. It exuded the aura of a supreme expert and made the entire world tremble. As he activated it, it flashed with a golden light that pierced through the world, obliterating everything in its path.


    "A perfect Metal Law!" The Life God was startled.


    Usually only God Kings possessed perfect laws, but it was this weapon that possessed such a powerful law this time. Together with its ancient aura and its single strike that was blazing with fighting intent, one could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.


    This was an Ancestral Artifact!


    "Ancestral Artifact, Xingtian!" The Divine Punishment God instantly recognized this Ancestral Artifact.


    Ancestral Artifact Xingtian was the Ancestral Artifact of the God Martial Race during the Ancient Era.


    "I didn''t think you would have a trump card like this!" The Spacetime God was rather alarmed.


    An unprecedented war of God-Devils had taken place in the Ancient Era, and countless experts were killed. Even the real Ancestral Artifacts were shattered, with only a scant few remaining whole.


    For the Heaven Lord to hold back such a powerful Ancestral Artifact for so long was evidence of his incredible patience and endurance. The moment he revealed an Ancestral Artifact, many other God Kings, and even Gods, would be certain to long for it. Even if they previously had no quarrel with the Heaven Lord, they would still come to seize the Ancestral Artifact for themselves. But now, at this crucial moment, the Heaven Lord could no longer worry about so much and took out Xingtian.


    Within the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, as a beam of Metal Law energy passed through, the members of both sides felt a sharp pain on their divine bodies and souls. And this was within the Divine Kingdom; there was no telling what would have happened to them if they were outside.


    "Has the Heaven Lord already taken out that trump card?" The Right Protector''s face darkened.


    "It seems that the Heaven Defying Faction has already hit a dead end!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    You lot, kill him!" The Right Protector threw down an order and left.


    He didn''t have the time to deal with Zhao Feng. He needed to move the Divine Kingdom away from the God battlefield. The Heaven Defying Faction was in danger, and other plans were needed. Thus, he had to divide his attention between controlling the Divine Kingdom and controlling his Samsara Immortal Bodies as they attacked Zhao Feng.


    "A mere peak Second Heaven requires my intervention?" A blue-haired elder exuding a chilly aura looked in interest at Zhao Feng.


    This blue-haired elder was the God King Samsara Immortal Body. At his side were two Third Heavens and many First and Second Heaven Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    "Come out!" Zhao Feng opened a path to his Divine Kingdom and released his clones and subordinates.


    Against this many foes, Zhao Feng naturally wouldn''t get careless. Besides, this war was the perfect chance to wipe out the Heaven Defying Faction.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    One figure after another flew out of the Divine Kingdom passage, outnumbering the Right Protector''s Samsara Immortal Bodies. Of course, Zhao Feng''s subordinates were weaker cultivation-wise than the Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    "Oh? Kid, you have a lot of helpers?" The crystalline white robe''s tone became somewhat gentler.


    In the previous situation, Zhao Feng''s death would have been assured against so many opponents, and it would once more fall under the control of the Heaven Defying Faction, but now that Zhao Feng had summoned so many helpers, they had a chance of escaping.


    "Junior, die!" the blue-haired elder roared, an ice storm erupting from his body that caused the surrounding world to freeze.


    "Kid, run!" the robe immediately called out.


    It was merely a weapon. Without someone to control it, it could not contend against a God King. And Zhao Feng was only a peak Second Heaven who had yet to obtain its recognition. Even if it was refined, Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to use much of this Pseudo Ancestral Artifact''s power.


    "Why run? Fight!" Zhao Feng cried out, releasing immense amounts of Primal Chaos energy as he charged forward.


    "What?" The robe was flabbergasted. It had believed that Zhao Feng released his subordinates to cover the retreat and buy time for their escape, but it turned out that Zhao Feng was intending to fight himself.


    "Primal Chaos Domain!" Zhao Feng used his vast amounts of Primal Chaos energy to construct a Primal Chaos Domain.


    As his opponent was a God King, Zhao Feng constricted the size of the Primal Chaos Domain so that it only strengthened himself. Otherwise, a God King had more than enough power to easily shatter the Primal Chaos Domain.


    "Die!" The blue-haired elder swung a hand, sending a wave of ice through the air.


    Zhao Feng felt like an iceberg was smashing down on him, its momentum shaking the heavens. A powerful Ice Law energy was affecting the entire world, even Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos energy.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng gripped his Primal Chaos Ancestral Artifact fragment, formed a giant Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword around it, and slashed.


    In the past, he was powerless against God King Charflame of the Purgatory Sacred Land, but after going through the instruction of the Divine Punishment God, his strength had undergone an immense transformation. In his next encounter against a God King, Zhao Feng wasn''t experiencing that much pressure.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword collided with the icy slash, the impact causing violent waves of energy to explode toward both sides. Zhao Feng''s hands trembled as a bone-chilling cold assailed him.


    "As expected, you''re not simple." The blue-haired elder gave a mocking smile, seemingly unruffled.


    Zhao Feng''s attack just now was extremely powerful, able to match his own, but the gap in cultivation was just too great. His perfect Ice Law had the supreme advantage.


    "Is the gap in Laws too much?" Zhao Feng had also realized this. He had a Spacetime Law and a Lightning Law, but when facing a perfect Ice Law, he was still at a disadvantage.


    At this moment:


    "Kid, I''ll lend you a hand!" The crystalline robe drifted up to Zhao Feng''s size and wrapped around him.


    It had been preparing to flee alone, but Zhao Feng''s strength made it reconsider. It also had a deep grudge against the Heaven Defying Faction, so if it could use this chance to give it a savage blow, it would be more than willing to do so. Thus, it decided to help Zhao Feng.


    A perfect Space Law energy shrouded the area. Although it was not very stable, it was truly a perfect Space Law.


    As Zhao Feng had not refined this Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, he could only use an extremely small part of its Space Law energy, but for Zhao Feng, this was enough.


    "Okay!" Delighted, Zhao Feng once more stared at the God King Samsara Immortal Body.


    "Pseudo Ancestral Artifact!" A cold light gleamed in the blue-haired old man''s eyes.


    In his previous life, he had never owned a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, but now, a peak Second Heaven God Lord had actually earned the favor of one?


    Through the Samsara Immortal Bodies, the Right Protector had a complete understanding of the battlefield. He had a Third Heaven God Lord join the blue-haired elder in dealing with Zhao Feng.


    "Go!" Zhao Feng called out, and the Black Destruction Dragon, his clones, the little thieving cat, and the many powerful ancient beasts from his Dream Divine Kingdom entered the battle.


    "God-Killing Ice Slash!" The blue-haired elder unleashed a bone-freezing chill that hurtled straight at Zhao Feng. With a wave of his hand, his Ice energy gathered into a crystalline wave that slashed downward at Zhao Feng.


    Bzzzz!


    Zhao Feng extracted a sliver of perfect Space Law energy from the robe and then swung his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword. The massive lightning sword instantly slammed into the energy slash made of ice crystals.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two energies obliterated each other. The Ice Law energy was also blocked by Zhao Feng''s own Laws. This time, Zhao Feng and the blue-haired elder had tied.


    At this moment, the Third Heaven Samsara Immortal Body attacked Zhao Feng from behind.


    Brrrooom!


    A massive axe made of lightning hurtled toward him.


    "Heh, relax! I happen to be a defensive Pseudo Ancestral Artifact." The crystalline robe around Zhao Feng chuckled.


    Although Zhao Feng couldn''t use most of its power, the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact was also outstanding when it came to defense.


    Zhao Feng nodded and had his Primal Chaos Domain impede and restrain this Lightning energy. In the end, the crystalline robe managed to easily block what was left of the Lightning energy, leaving Zhao Feng completely unscathed.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Eye!" As he was blocking this attack, Zhao Feng made his own attack, a Tribulation Lightning sword taking form in his left eye.


    Kacrack!


    Tribulation Lightning energy exploded on the blue-haired elder, leaving a large hole.


    Although the elder was a Samsara Immortal Body, his body immortal and undying, his soul still suffered excruciating pain.


    "Seeking death!" The blue-haired elder was enraged and swung his hands again and again, sending one iceberg after another flying at Zhao Feng.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    With several swings of the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword, he easily shattered the icebergs, but massive slabs of ice surrounded by ice and snow were still hurtling toward him.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex!" Zhao Feng used the energy of his Primal Chaos Domain to create a Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The frenzied storm of ice arrived, battering against the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex, needing only a few moments to damage it_ However, within the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex was the defensive layer of the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    "Kid, not bad! I recognize your strength." Laughter came from the robe.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng charged out and fiercely swung his Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword at the blue-haired elder.


    The sliver of perfect Space Law energy from the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact boosted Zhao Feng''s speed, allowing him to dodge some of the more powerful attacks, and this was in addition to the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact itself and his own defensive skills.


    As for the Third Heaven Samsara Immortal Body, Zhao Feng was basically ignoring it. Samsara Immortal Bodies were unquestionably more difficult to deal with than the actual person because they were unkillable, but because they had lost their original bloodline, they were weaker overall than they were when they were alive.


    "Aaaaah!" the blue-haired elder bellowed. He was actually unable to deal with a single Second Heaven brat? This was partially due to the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, but he also had to admit that Zhao Feng himself was very powerful.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Zhao Feng and the blue-haired elder exchanged several hundred blows, neither coming out with the upper hand. But if one looked carefully, the blue-haired elder had sustained more injuries, as it was impossible to dodge Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Eye.


    However, as the elder was a Samsara Immortal Body, his body was unkillable. Zhao Feng also had no plans to kill a God King. If he didn''t have the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, he would have to use all his trump cards to even have the possibility of fighting back against a God King.


    But although he couldn''t do much to the blue-haired elder, the fact that he, a mere peak Second Heaven, was able to wound a God King was an extreme humiliation for this God King.

 1548 At a Dead End

    Chapter 1548 - At a Dead End


    The fires of war seethed within the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom. The members of the Life Sacred Land had already entered the Divine Kingdom, and the Heaven Defying Faction, slowly losing its advantage, had begun to take defensive measures.


    As this was the territory of the Heaven Defying Faction, there were many arrays, war weapons, and traps, so the Heaven Defying Faction still had the ability to fight back.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    At the center of the Heaven Defying Faction, Zhao Feng and his subordinates were embroiled in battle with the Samsara Immortal Bodies of the Right Protector.


    "Aaaah!" The blue-haired elder howled and roared, his hands conjuring up vast storms of ice.


    However, Zhao Feng, with the protection of the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, was fine as long as he wasn''t fatally wounded by the blue-haired elder.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Eye!" Zhao Feng''s left eye turned, summoning Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy.


    Kacrack!


    A Tribulation Lightning Sword brand exploded on the elder''s body, leaving behind a large hole.


    As a Samsara Immortal Body, the blue-haired elder rapidly recovered, but his soul still ended up being damaged. However, the blue-haired elder was a God King and his Soul Intent was incomparably powerful. An ordinary Third Heaven would have been heavily injured or killed by Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lightning Eye.


    "Absolute Ice Seal!" The elder''s face turned savage and ruthless. To be injured repeatedly by a peak Second Heaven, even after dying and being turned into a Samsara Immortal Body, he still found this disgrace unbearable.


    Hisssss!


    A chill permeated the air around Zhao Feng as a storm of ice converged around him. Zhao Feng sensed that the temperature around him was getting lower and lower. Even with the protection of the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, he still felt a cold that reached his bones.


    It seemed like the blue-haired elder was using all his strength.


    Boundless ice and snow gathered around Zhao Feng, intending to bury him forever.


    "Dream Dimension Expansion!" Zhao Feng''s left eye surged with Dream Origin energy and began to flash with a dazzling luster. He instantly created a Dream Dimension and fused it with the space around him.


    The power of the Dream Dimension boosted Zhao Feng''s strength in all aspects.


    Swish!


    Formidable Tribulation Lightning energy erupted forward, fusing with the Primal Chaos Domain around him. With a single thought, the energy of the Primal Chaos Domain went into a frenzy and began to collide with the boundless ice and snow around it.


    Of course, this was still not enough to stand against the full-strength strike of the blue-haired elder. Zhao Feng clenched his hand, instantly creating several Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords within his Primal Chaos Domain.


    Whoosh!


    He thrust out his hand, sending the swords shooting in every direction. Gradually, the Ice energy around him began to weaken, slowly cleaned up by Zhao Feng.


    "Dream Dao energy?" The blue-haired elder gnashed his teeth in fury.


    He had seen the power of the Dream Dao at work before. In their Dream Dimensions, Dream Dao cultivators possessed extraordinary strength. Otherwise, even with the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact''s protection, Zhao Feng still would have been eternally sealed in ice by his attack.


    In the underground base, the Right Protector was observing the blue-haired elder''s battle and couldn''t help but sigh. "Ordinary God Kings can''t do anything to him!"


    The blue-haired elder was a Samsara Immortal Body, and his unkillable body made him extremely difficult to deal with. However, he had lost his original divine body and no longer had the power of bloodline energy, meaning that his abilities had all decreased compared to the original.


    Zhao Feng also knew this. His battle with the blue-haired elder was not that difficult, but if he were fighting the Illusion God Race''s God King Nethercloud or the Left Protector, he would probably be outmatched. Those two were both outstandingly powerful God Kings.


    However, Zhao Feng was also using the blue-haired elder as an opportunity to hone himself. Once he successfully reached the Third Heaven, he would probably even be able to fight against top-class God Kings like God King Nethercloud.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two fiercely battled, exchanging several hundred blows to no clear result.


    At this moment, the Life Sacred Land army finally succeeded in breaching the defenses of the Heaven Defying Faction and were now attacking the central island.


    "Retreat!" The Left Protector and Right Protector commanded two black-gold warships, loaded with members of the faction, and chose to retreat.


    They were no longer able to hold off the enemy within their own Divine Kingdom. Any further combat was pointless. "Hmph!" The blue-haired elder grunted, shot Zhao Feng a venomous glare, and reluctantly retreated.


    The other Samsara Immortal Bodies also began to flee.


    Zhao Feng did not pursue. After all, Samsara Immortal Bodies were simply too difficult to kill. He was more concerned about the Heaven Defying Faction''s land. After all, although its people had retreated, they probably left behind some treasure that they didn''t have the time to take with them.


    The majority of the Life Sacred Land went off in pursuit, with only a small number remaining in the Divine Kingdom. "The Heaven Defying Faction''s fate is sealed!" The crystalline robe sighed.


    It hadn''t expected for even a faction as powerful as the Heaven Defying Faction to have a day like this. But as its opponent was three God Eye Deities, there was nothing else that could have been done.


    I wonder if the three God Eyes managed to kill the Heaven Lord, Zhao Feng murmured to himself. As long as the Heaven Lord wasn''t dead, he would not be able to rest easy.


    Although a God had never been killed since the emergence of the Eight Great God Eyes, three Gods working together should be able to kill another God.


    Outside the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, the world was dark and gloomy.


    "Die!" The Heaven Lord gripped Xingtian and unleashed a golden light that illuminated the world. As the golden slash of energy howled forward, it seemed capable of cleaving the world in two.


    In the face of this powerful attack, the three God Eye Deities were forced to take evasive measures.


    In terms of offensive power, none of the trio could compare to the Heaven Lord, but they were still confident that they could kill him. After all, they were three God Eyes working together. If it really came down to it, they could just tire him to death.


    Tens of millions of li away, three figures were hidden in spacers the Heaven Defying Faction that powerful? Not even three God Eyes working together can kill him!" The weU- endowed woman in the dark purple gown gently smiled.


    "Keke, the three of them have probably sensed our existence, so rather than fighting to the death with the Heaven Lord, they plan to exhaust that owner of the Heavenly Dao God Eye to death, killing him for as little cost as possible." The Death God wickedly chuckled.


    "Afraid that we''ll sit on the sidelines and reap the benefit?" the elder wearing the resplendent golden robe softly spoke.


    "In my view, it''s still better if we intervene to prevent that member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race from escaping. And if it comes to a direct battle, the three of us are stronger!" The woman faintly laughed.


    The three of them were the Death God, Destruction God, and Samsara God. The Destruction God and Death God were extremely strong when it came to combat while the Samsara God had many Samsara Immortal Bodies that made her extremely difficult to deal with.


    The Divine Punishment God''s side had the Life God, making them better when it came to long and drawn-out battles, but in terms of fighting power, the three of them truly did have the advantage.


    "That''s fine. This Xingtian happens to be an Ancestral Artifact that suits my taste!" The Destruction God''s eyes flashed with resolve.


    "Okay, then let''s do that!" the Death God firmly declared.


    His scouts told him that the Heaven Defying Faction had already retreated from the Divine Kingdom. He was rather interested in the things researched by the Heaven''s Legacy Race, particularly when it came to the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye. He definitely couldn''t let someone else get their hands on such things.


    Once they finished their discussion, the three God Eye Deities vanished.


    Near the God battlefield, the world was utter disarray, storms of forbidden energy wreaking havoc. Even a Second Heaven God Lord would die if they showed the slightest lack of caution.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Heaven Lord seemed invincible, his attacks causing the three God Eyes to shrink back.


    You can''t kill me, so why not end things here? The Heaven''s Legacy Race is willing to pay compensation," the Heaven Lord proposed to the three God Eyes.


    He appeared powerful, but he was facing three God Eye Deities, one of them being the Life God. Victory was basically impossible.


    The Divine Punishment God frowned. If not for the fact that they had to guard against the other God Eyes hiding nearby, the three of them at full power were definitely capable of heavily injuring the Heaven Lord.


    Suddenly, the three God Eye Deities grimaced.


    At this moment, a domineering voice spoke up; "Haha, just end the matter here? For daring to encroach upon the power of the Eight Great God Eyes, only your life will do as compensation!"


    A golden-robed elder appeared.


    Buzz! Swish!


    Next to him was a stooped and sinister elder. Behind them was a charming and alluring woman, slowly stepping forward.


    "I thought that the three of you would stay in your shells until the very end!" the Spacetime God jeered.


    "In truth, we thought that it was just too shameful to watch as the three of you kept fighting without ending, so we felt compelled to intervene!" The Death God gave a sinister smile.


    At this moment, six of the Eight Great God Eyes were present. Under this immense pressure, the fabric of space groaned.


    "Haha, I didn''t think that six God Eye Deities would come for me!" The Heaven Lord suddenly began to laugh.


    The six God Eye Deities gazed at the Heaven Lord. They were forced to admit that this man was very powerful.


    But the Heaven Lord''s actions made him an enemy of the Eight Great God Eyes. And in the era of the Eight Great God Eyes, the Heaven Lord was bound to be defeated.


    "Although I can''t obtain the Origins of the Eight Great God Eyes to fuse into the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye, getting six God Eye Deities in one place isn''t bad!" The Heaven Lord began to burn his Origin energy.


    "What other trump card do you have?" The Spacetime God''s eyes twinkled as he began to retreat.


    The other Gods also warily began to back up, but they continued to stare at the Heaven Lord.


    "Reversal!" The Heaven Lord used the powerful of the Heavenly Dao God Eye, reversing the world''s directions.


    Those Gods that were backing away now began to approach the Heaven Lord, but the six Gods quickly adjusted their directions and began to retreat again.


    "Explode!" The Heaven Lord suddenly slapped a hand against his Ancestral Artifact, and that terrifying Metal Law energy erupted.


    You... you''ve gone crazy! You actually detonated an Ancestral Artifact!?" The Destruction God''s eyes bulged in shock as he yelled. He had taken a liking to this Ancestral Artifact, but before his death, the Heaven Lord actually chose to destroy it.


    Although he was unwilling, the Destruction God was forced to retreat. The explosion of an Ancestral Artifact was nothing to be messed around with.


    "Die!" The Heaven Lord gave a despairing smile as he began to bum along with his Origin energy.


    Boom! Bang!


    Ancestral Artifact Xingtian exploded, sending a cataclysmic energy through the world. The heavens and earth shattered, all returned to dust.


    Even the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, located extremely far away, was caught up in the shockwave. Those who remained inside Divine Kingdom sensed that something was wrong.


    Thumpthump! Thumpthump!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye began to pulse in warning to Zhao Feng.


    "Let''s leave this place first!" Zhao Feng took his subordinates back into the Ancient Dream Realm and fled together with the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    Outside, the world was in chaos, torn up by devastating storms.


    "What happened?" In shock, Zhao Feng flew away.


    Near the explosion of the Ancestral Artifact, the six God Eye Deities were much worse for wear, their bodies in tatters. "You want to run?" The six Gods immediately pursued.


    They could sense that the Heaven Lord was not dead. Instead, he had fled right before the Ancestral Artifact detonated.


    "He actually destroyed an Ancestral Artifact!" The Destruction God had a look of hatred on his face.


    "Can I not escape?" The Heaven Lord''s face was ghastly pale as he sorrowfully sighed.


    Although he had detonated the Ancestral Artifact, he didn''t kill any of the six God Eyes, only pushed them back. However, the Heaven Lord himself was heavily injured.


    The six Gods were rapidly approaching.


    "Ah...!" the Heaven Lord roared, and with a wave of his hand, the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom flew toward him.


    "Since you''re so stubborn, then we die together!" The Heaven Lord''s face shone with madness and despair.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Origin energy in his body burned, and a terrifying energy began to build up within him.


    The Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom flew to his side.


    "Oh no!" The six Gods instantly felt an ill foreboding.


    "Die together...!" An energy that could obliterate the world erupted from the Heaven Lord''s body. The Heaven Lord also chose to detonate the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom. Boooooooom!


    The explosion ripped through the world, turning all into void.

 1549 Struggle Over the Heavenly Dao God Eye

    Chapter 1549 - Struggle Over the Heavenly Dao God Eye


    The explosion was like that of the origin of Destruction, devouring everything in the world. The entire Ziling Zone could feel intense tremors.


    Zhao Feng''s current position couldn''t even be considered as being on the edge of the explosion, but he was still pushed back several thousand li by the shockwave. Without the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact''s defense, he would have had the skin torn off of his flesh.


    Boooooom!


    The power of the explosion seemed endless, and it continued to spread outward, unleashing a terrifying ancient and forbidden energy that devoured all.


    "How terrifying!" Zhao Feng''s heart thumped in fear. A normal Third Heaven God Lord caught at the edge of the explosion would probably still have been killed. Just what happened in that battle between Gods?


    As he was leaving, he sensed six God Eye energies, so he could guess that the Heaven Lord had probably been defeated.


    On the other end, the Heaven''s Legacy Race members who had fled from the Divine Kingdom and the Life Sacred Land members who had pursued them were all shivering in fear.


    It was fortunate that they had left the Divine Kingdom and were far away from the God battlefield, or else they really would have ended up as cannon fodder.


    Of course, they had left quite a few members back in the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, and since the Divine Kingdom was at the heart of the explosion, those people had already ceased to be a part of this world.


    Kaboom!


    The storm continued unabated for some time.


    Near the center of the explosion:


    "Cough, cough... that scoundrel, to think that he would detonate his Divine Kingdom and even burn his Origin energy...." With a disgruntled voice, a golden-robed elder appeared.


    The Heaven Lord''s Origin energy was the power of the Ancient Race. One could easily imagine just how terrifying an explosion created from this kind of Divine Power could be. As for the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, it was an enormous treasury containing many Heaven''s Legacy arrays, machines, and ancient bloodlines. It was difficult to imagine the power that was created by detonating all these things.


    "How risky! That almost killed me!" A woman''s voice brimming with hatred spoke.


    "Fortunately, we had your Samsara Immortal Bodies, or else we would have been in an even worse state...." The Death God''s figure gradually emerged, his face pale.


    They were closer to the Heaven Lord during the explosion and were in grave peril. Fortunately, the Samsara God had used her many Samsara Immortal Bodies to block for them, neutralizing part of the explosion''s strength and buying them time to escape.


    Even so, they had suffered severe injuries, their God Eye Origins damaged. After all, even before this explosion, they were already injured by the detonation of Ancestral Artifact Xingtian.


    Not far behind them:


    "I didn''t think that the three of you were still alive!" With this jeering comment, the Spacetime God and the other two Gods appeared.


    The three of them seemed to be faring little better than their colleagues. Although the Spacetime God had the advantage of speed, he hadn''t managed to run very far, and the trio''s defensive measures were far inferior to the wall of flesh that the Samsara God could create.


    "Heh, if you''re not dead, this old man definitely won''t go first!" The Destruction God coldly glared at the other group.


    "Let''s go! He''s not dead yet. We must kill him!" The Divine Punishment God Eye grunted, and then he vanished in a streak of lightning.


    The Spacetime God and Life God also moved out.


    At the moment of the explosion, all six God Eyes sensed that the Heaven Lord had run away beforehand.


    However, as he had burned up so much Origin energy to increase the power of the explosion, the Heaven Lord had lost half of his strength. And the Heaven Lord had not been able to completely avoid the explosion, so of course, he also suffered from the explosion of the Ancestral Artifact. Thus, the Heaven Lord was probably in an extremely weak state at this time.


    The six God Eyes sensed the Heaven Lord''s extremely weak aura as he fled.


    "Something''s not right." A strange light gleamed in the Death God''s pitch-black eyes.


    Their God Eyes told them that the Heaven Lord was truly extremely weak at this time. Any God could easily kill him.


    But the Divine Punishment God and Spacetime God were clearly heavily injured, with even their Origins damaged. However, without even waiting to be treated by the Life God, they impatiently ran off in pursuit. He found this extremely fishy.


    "Are you not curious as to why the three of them are in such a rush to kill the Heaven Lord?" The Samsara God Eye gave a strange and alluring smile.


    "Oh? What''s the secret?" The Destruction God''s expression twitched.


    "I have Samsara Immortal Bodies in the Life Sacred Land''s army. Before the Divine Kingdom''s explosion, they managed to find out an astonishing secret in the Divine Kingdom: God Eye owners or God Eye descendants might be able to obtain the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye through killing the Heaven Lord!" the Samsara God explained.


    The Heaven Lord could kill other God Eyes to obtain their God Eye Origins and take another step forward in his plan for the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye, but God Eye Deities could also kill the Heaven Lord to obtain the strength of the Heavenly Dao God Eye, and they might also be capable of realizing the same plan.


    This also meant that the Heaven Lord was not the only one who could create the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye. Other people could as well, as long as they obtained the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye!


    "What?" The Death God scowled, his pale and savage face turning sinister and frightening.


    "The power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye!?" The Destruction God was also stunned.


    If God Eyes like them killed the Heaven Lord and obtained his strength, just how strong would their God Eyes become? Although the Samsara God had not stated it, any fool could draw the lines and conclude that any God Eye Deity who obtained the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye would be able to continue the Heaven Lord''s plan and create the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye.


    "I didn''t think that you would tell us of such an important thing!" The Death God eerily smiled, suspicion in his heart.


    If it were him, he would conceal the fact and pursue the Heaven Lord on his own. After all, the Heaven Lord was currently extremely weak. Any God Eye Deity would be able to easily kill him.


    "We''re part of the same camp, and besides, I''m no match for Life, Divine Punishment, and Spacetime by myself," the Samsara God matter-of-factly said.


    This was one reason. The other reason was that almost all the people who had remained in the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom came to learn of this fact, and then they almost immediately sent word back to the factions that they were working for.


    For this war, many factions had chosen to assist the Life Sacred Land in beating back the Heaven Defying Faction.


    Thus, it probably wouldn''t be just one or two factions that knew of this information. And given the importance of this news, which was linked to the fate of the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, even if the Samsara God hadn''t said anything, it wouldn''t take long before the news spread through the realm.


    Besides that, when it came to looking for someone, the Samsara God believed that no one else could compare to her.


    "Let''s start moving! We can''t let them obtain that strength!" The Destruction God was impatient to get moving.


    "Mm!" The Death God nodded.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Samsara God''s eyes began to spin, releasing a yellow fog that came from the underworld. One figure after another emerged from within, several thousand people in all.


    Of course, the majority of these people did not have very high cultivations. Those of higher cultivations had all sacrificed themselves to block the Heaven Lord''s explosion, and they could not be revived for some time.


    "Go, track that person down! If you find anything, inform me immediately!" After doing this, the Samsara God took her leave.


    The other two Gods also began to move out.


    On the surface, the three God Eyes were still part of the same faction, but in reality, they were on their own now, because if any one of them obtained the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye, they could stand at the peak of God Eyes, looking down arrogantly upon the entire realm, and they even had a chance to obtain the supreme power of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye.


    The war between the Life Sacred Land and Heaven Defying Faction had finally come to an end, but its end started a whole new war - the war for the Heavenly Dao God Eye!


    In the distance, Zhao Feng floated in the devastated void.


    "A battle between Gods is just too terrifying!" Zhao Feng emotionally said.


    Nearly half of the Ziling Zone had been affected by this battle, and this was a rather short battle that was fought across a rather small area. Otherwise, the entire Ziling Zone would have been destroyed.


    "After offending the Eight Great God Eyes, the Heaven Defying Faction has finally been brought to an end!" Zhao Feng slightly exhaled in relief.


    But for some reason, his Dream God Eye still seemed tense.


    At this moment, Zhao Yufei sent him a message.


    "What?" Zhao Feng grimaced.


    Zhao Yufei was together with the Life Sacred Land army, and over there, the news about the other God Eye Deities fighting over the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye had already begun to spread.


    "Even if the Heaven Lord was defeated, he''s still made the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods uneasy." Zhao Feng creased his brows.


    The Heaven Lord was not dead, but he was weak and injured. The six God Eyes had already begun their pursuit.


    "Kid, what''s the situation?" the crystalline robe asked.


    The Heaven Defying Faction had been defeated and the Heaven Lord was fleeing for his life, but Zhao Feng still seemed rather worried.


    "It''s not simple..." Zhao Feng gave a simple summary of the situation.


    "To think that it would be like that!" The robe was stunned.


    The current situation really was little better than before. Although the Heaven Lord had been defeated, any God Eye that obtained the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye would become a threat even greater than the Heaven Lord.


    Of course, if an ordinary God Lord or God King obtained this energy, they wouldn''t be much of a threat, but there was also the possibility of it being seized from them too.


    This was a struggle that would be difficult to predict and difficult to end unless the person who obtained the Heavenly Dao God Eye was able to resist the temptation of this power and destroyed it!


    "Come on, let''s rest first." Zhao Feng sighed.


    This battle had been tiring enough.


    "You''re not going to fight for the Heavenly Dao God Eye?" The robe was surprised. It didn''t believe that Zhao Feng wasn''t tempted by this power.


    Zhao Feng truly did desire this power. Once he obtained it, his strength would soar, allowing him to contend with even God Eye Deities.


    "I''m too weak to compare with the Eight Great God Eyes. Even if I obtained it, the other God Eyes would just hunt me down." Zhao Feng shook his head.


    That was the situation for now. And his hopes of finding someone alone compared to the vast networks of the God Eye Deities were simply too small.


    "Let me break into the Third Heaven first," Zhao Feng decided.


    After successfully breaking through, if the matter of the Heavenly Dao God Eye had yet to be concluded, he might be able to participate then.


    Zhao Feng found a secluded place in the Ziling Zone and entered his Divine Kingdom to begin cultivating.


    In the outside world, the news was spreading from the Ziling Zone to all eighteen zones of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The struggle for the Heavenly Dao God Eye had begun!

 1550 Wholesale Manhun

    Chapter 1550 - Wholesale Manhunt


    Zhao Feng returned to his Divine Kingdom and rested for a few days. Over these days, he began to negotiate with the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. In the end, the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact agreed to follow Zhao Feng for one million years. After one million years, the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact would be free to do what it wanted.


    The Pseudo Ancestral Artifact naturally followed Zhao Feng in order to repay him for saving it. But the Heaven Lord''s actions had infuriated six God Eyes, dooming the Heaven Defying Faction, so even without Zhao Feng''s help, it still could have been free. Thus, the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact would only follow Zhao Feng for one million years.


    But for Zhao Feng, one million years was enough. He was confident that he would be able to completely grasp the power of the Dream God Eye in this time and become a God Eye Deity. At that point, he could go with or without the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    After some time, Zhao Feng succeeded in refining the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. In the process, Zhao Feng fused his Space Ancestral Artifact fragment into it.


    Five months later, Zhao Feng finished refining the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    When the Ancestral Artifact was still whole, it was called Heaven Ascendant. Although it was just a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact now, the actual Heaven Ascendant no longer existed, so Zhao Feng decided to call it by this name.


    After switching out the Spacetime Robe for Heaven Ascendant, Zhao Feng felt as if he had complete control over the fabric of space itself.


    "With Heaven Ascendant, even without using the Dream God Eye''s power, I can fight back against an ordinary God King!" Zhao Feng reached this conclusion after testing out Heaven Ascendant''s power.


    With Zhao Feng''s defensive skills and the defenses provided by Heaven Ascendant, he could easily block ordinary attacks from a God King, and he could outrun those God Kings who did not specialize in speed.


    In refining a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, he not only increased his strength but also advanced his cultivation. Pseudo Ancestral Artifact Heaven Ascendant contained a perfect Space Law. Now that he refined it, Zhao Feng could immerse himself in this Space Law and advance his comprehension of it.


    Zhao Feng seated himself in the core of his Divine Kingdom and began to cultivate. Time passed differently in the Divine Kingdom compared to the outside world, so Zhao Feng had plenty of time.


    Zhao Feng''s current goal was to reach the Third Heaven.


    To do this, Zhao Feng could use the resources he had obtained from the Heaven Defying Faction to strengthen his foundations.


    Firstly, Zhao Feng took out the Nine Lightning Heaven Bamboo. In a flash, invisible Lightning energy began to gather above the Nine Lightning Heaven Bamboo, casting bolts of lightning.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and sent his Soul Intent into the Nine Lightning Heaven Bamboo. After a period of comprehension, Zhao Feng began to absorb the essence of the Nine Lightning Heaven Bamboo. He instantly felt the various principles of the Lightning Laws surging into his mind.


    Time swiftly passed. Zhao Feng had already spent several years cultivating, but only a few days had passed in the outside world.


    At this time, all of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was startled by a certain piece of news: if one of the Eight Great God Eyes killed the Heaven Lord, they could obtain the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye and rise above all the other Gods. They even had a chance to continue the Heaven Lord''s plan.


    Of course, it wasn''t just the Eight Great God Eyes - God Eye descendants also had a chance to seize this energy and become a new God!


    This caused countless God Eye descendants to scramble for the Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    There were even some who were not God Eye descendants but possessed other kinds of eyes that went looking with faint hopes in their hearts.


    Besides this, many experts in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods formed a coalition with the singular goal of eliminating the Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    In the southwestern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, in the Yaoguang Zone, the factions of the nearby zones had gathered.


    The Bright Sun God of the Golden Crow Sacred Land stood high above, his blazing golden eyes exuding such heat that others did not dare to look directly at them. Besides the Bright Sun God, the other God Kings of the nearby zones had arrived, including the Tianhe Zone''s God King Charflame, who Zhao Feng had once fought with.


    "I''ve gathered all of you here for an extremely simple goal: search for the Heaven Lord and destroy the Heavenly Dao God Eye!" the Bright Sun God spoke with a tone of supreme majesty.


    The Tianhe Zone agrees with the Bright Sun God!" God King Charflame immediately spoke up.


    As long as the Heavenly Dao God Eye''s power continued to exist, it would continue to severely influence the balance of power in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Any God Eye Deity that obtained this power would become the next Heaven Lord. Thus, this power needed to be destroyed!


    The Linglong Zone will do all in its power!" A woman who appeared like a celestial fairy stood up. She was the God King of the Linglong Zone''s Sacred Land.


    At this moment, a supreme energy descended. All the energy in the world seemed to shift and began to flow outside. The space in the palace froze, and even God Lords felt an immense pressure that made it difficult for them to move.


    "Myriad Forms God, I didn''t think you would have the time to come to my place." The Bright Sun God''s face tightened as he spoke.


    A moment later, an elder appeared in the palace. His eyes were vortices that flowed with many colors, and his hair was also naturally shifting between different shades. He seemed like the embodiment of the sky, the earth, the mountains, and the rivers.


    "The Myriad Forms God?"


    "One of the God Eye Deities!"


    The experts in the palace panicked. They were just discussing destroying the Heavenly Dao God Eye, and then one of the God Eye Deities had appeared. Quite a few people even believed that the Myriad Forms God had come to make trouble.


    At this moment, the Myriad Forms God spoke, "I also agree with your view."


    Many of the people in the palace were taken aback. They never would''ve imagined that the Myriad Forms God would say such a thing.


    "Myriad Forms, you truly have not disappointed me." The Bright Sun God smiled.


    Several of the God Kings present knew that the Bright Sun God and the Myriad Forms God had a rather close relationship. They were both indifferent to fame and fortune and enjoyed traveling the world. The Bright Sun God had not returned to his Sacred Land for several hundred million years before this and probably would still have not returned if not for the appearance of the Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    "This power cannot be allowed to disturb the natural balance of the world. I will also lend a hand!" the Myriad Forms God firmly declared.


    All across the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, there were other alliances of various sizes being formed to destroy the Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    The Heavenly Dao God Eye''s power was an enormous temptation to the Eight Great God Eyes and God Eye descendants, but it had little use for the other God Kings. On the contrary, these God Kings and even Gods did not wish for a God Eye faction to obtain this power.


    All the top experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods began to move, including those God Kings and Gods who had remained in seclusion for hundreds of millions of years.


    Perhaps because the Heaven Lord was a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and possessed the power of divination or perhaps because of the special abilities of the Heavenly Dao God Eye, the Heaven Lord appeared several times but managed to escape each time.


    There was one thing that could be confirmed though; the Heaven Lord was being hunted by the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and he had no time to rest. His God Origin had been exhausted and damaged and would need some time to recover. Thus, the Heaven Lord was not that much stronger than when he first escaped from the God Eyes.


    The six God Eyes continued to ceaselessly and frenziedly search for the Heaven Lord.


    Within the Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng cared little for the affairs of the outside world and continued his seclusion.


    Next to him, a dark silver tree had been planted, several silver leaves sprouting from its branches. This was the Space Spirit Tree.


    Under the Space Spirit Tree was a round piece of jade radiating moonlight. This was the Spacetime treasure, the Void Profound Spirit Jade.


    He had long ago finished cultivating the Lightning Dao and moved on to comprehending the Time Laws. He was also focusing part of his mind on the Space Laws.


    In his body, the Primal Chaos Scripture was circulating. Zhao Feng was already ready to break into the Third Heaven! One day, in the northern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods:


    Thwish!


    A golden figure flew through the air, exuding a powerful Divine Sense that carefully combed over every inch of the world.


    This golden figure was the God King of the Tongtai Zone, God King Heaven Dragon. He had personally joined the search for Zhao Feng in the Tongtai Zone back then, but Zhao Feng managed to escape from his clone.


    "Eh?" God King Heaven Dragon suddenly sensed something was wrong and began to focus and more carefully search with his Divine Sense.


    At this moment:


    Boom! Bang!


    The distant space suddenly twisted and fractured, a white-robed figure charging out.


    "Heaven Lord!" God King Heaven Dragon was startled.


    The Heaven Lord was extremely weak at this time and seemed in great disarray. His eyes were dim, and that vertical eye on the center of his forehead was closed.


    "After him! We can''t let him go!" God King Heaven Dragon rushed off in pursuit, at the same time taking out a message token. Upon using it, God King Heaven Dragon smiled.


    He was a member of the Bright Sun God''s alliance, and through the message token, he sensed that many of the alliance''s experts were nearby.


    God King Heaven Dragon doggedly pursued the Heaven Lord, and soon after, another God King appeared in front of the Heaven Lord.


    "You can''t escape!" God King Heaven Dragon heartily laughed.


    He wouldn''t be able to use the Heavenly Dao God Eye, but this was not the only treasure in the Heaven Lord''s possession. It was rumored that he had Ancestral Artifact fragments with him, even Pseudo Ancestral Artifacts. Previously, the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell had made an appearance.


    The Bright Sun God had promised that he would fulfill three requests in his capability for the member of the alliance that killed the Heaven Lord. Having three favors from a God was extremely precious to a God King.


    The Heaven Lord''s face was dark and furious. With a wave of his hand, he produced the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell.


    "Scram!" the Heaven Lord roared, activating the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact and sending a raging sea of fire through the region.


    But God King Heaven Dragon and the other God King, who was skilled in the Water Law, working together possessed abnormal strength.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two God Kings attacking the Heaven Lord from both sides were extremely difficult to deal with.


    You two are nothing but fleas. At my peak, I could have killed you with just one finger!" the Heaven Lord roared in unwillingness.


    "Haha, you''ve reached the end of the road! You will have no opportunity to return to your peak!" God King Heaven Dragon laughed.


    He and the other God King closely pursued.


    "Scram!" the Heaven Lord roared, sending golden-silver light out of his body and pushing back the two God Kings. This was the bloodline power of the Ancient Race.


    After pushing back the two God Kings, the Heaven Lord activated his Heavenly Dao God Eye to boost his speed and began to flee.


    "He''s exhausted! Don''t let him run!" God King Heaven Dragon and the other God King continued the chase.


    At this time, the news that the Heaven Lord had appeared began to spread, and the experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods began to gather in the north. This included all of the God Eyes except for the Destiny God Eye.


    While the matter of the Heavenly Dao God Eye was making all of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods quake, the Sage Faction was extremely peaceful.


    This was partially because the majority of the Sage Faction were not skilled in combat. The other reason was that the Heaven Lord, with his Ancient Race bloodline and Heavenly Dao God Eye, was a very difficult target for their divinations.


    Of course, this did not mean that no one could do it. Yu Tianwu and Liu Qinxin had been in seclusion all this time, all their strength focused on divining the Heaven Lord''s current condition.


    The other sages were awaiting Lord Tianwu''s judgment and order.


    On this day, Yu Tianwu opened his eyes.


    "The danger from Yu Tianshu still exists - an immense danger!"


    The Yu Tianshu that Yu Tianwu spoke of was none other than the Heaven Lord of the Heaven Defying Faction.


    At the same time, Yu Tianwu messaged Liu Qinxin; "Liu Qinxin, what have your eyes seen?"


    "The scene is very blurry and it is difficult to make out any specifics, but my eyes sense that a God Eye will be slain!"

 1551 The Death of a God Eye

    Chapter 1551 - The Death of a God Eye


    In the Ziling Zone, within the Dream Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng was focused entirely on cultivating, completely unaware of what was going on in the outside world.


    At this time, he was attempting to break into the Third Heaven.


    Next to him, the Heaven Void Silver Leaves of the Space Spirit Tree were emitting powerful ripples of Space Law energy that caused the surrounding space to fold atop itself and render the entire area blurry.


    Beneath the three, the Spacetime essence of the Void Profound Spirit Jade was being absorbed and comprehended by Zhao Feng.


    And within Zhao Feng, the Primal Chaos Scripture was turning, powerful Primal Chaos energy constantly seething as it slowly gathered in his God Altar.


    Bzzz!


    Atop the round two-tier God Altar, a third tier slowly began to take form. While forming his God Altar, the two God Altars down below sent up an endless surge of Primal Chaos Divine Power. At the same time, Zhao Feng was comprehending his Space Law to reach the threshold of late-stage understanding.


    The Space Spirit Tree and the Void Profound Spirit Jade made breaking through in his Space Law no problem, so Zhao Feng focused more on the formation and stabilization of his God Altar.


    Of course, Zhao Feng didn''t forget about the sealed God King level Primal Chaos energy he had obtained along with the Primal Chaos Scripture.


    "If I can fuse a part of this God King Primal Chaos energy with the third tier of the God Altar, my foundation will be even more stable," Zhao Feng pondered.


    To do this with true God King Primal Chaos energy was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, but this Primal Chaos energy had existed for far too long and its quality had fallen, so it was worth trying.


    At the same time, in the northern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, the news of the Heaven Lord''s appearance reached the Bright Sun God''s alliance first, but such important news naturally could not be kept a secret.


    The next day, this news spread out across the realm like a furious storm. Many experts began to gather in the north.


    There was only one Heavenly Dao God Eye and far too many people that wanted it, as well as people that wanted to destroy it. All of them needed to fight for every second, so they began to search every inch of the north.


    In a gloomy mountain forest, a white-robed elder suddenly emerged from the void.


    "I hope that my luck is good...." The Heaven Lord sighed as he began to fly.


    At the same time:


    Thwish!


    A black silhouette was flying in the air.


    "Heaven Lord!" the figure paused and called out in alarm.


    "Die!" the Heaven Lord roared, throwing a punch that sent a fist of domineering energy howling into the sky.


    This person was a mere Third Heaven. Even a heavily-injured Heaven Lord could easily take care of such a person. Whoosh!


    The energy fist engulfed the God Lord.


    "A Samsara Immortal Body? Not good!" The Heaven Lord immediately sensed that something was wrong. He didn''t sense any intense Death energy after killing this God Lord, meaning there was a high chance that they were a Samsara Immortal Body.


    Although Samsara Immortal Bodies were unkillable, if they were instantly obliterated, it was very difficult for them to recover unless their owner decided to revive them again.


    Thwish!


    The Heaven Lord swiftly left the area, but the owner of the dead Samsara Immortal Body seemed to be extremely powerful; several seconds later, another three Samsara Immortal Bodies appeared in the Heaven Lord''s vision.


    Brrrooom!


    The Heaven Lord thrust out his fists and instantly killed them, but soon after, several hundred Samsara Immortal Bodies arrived.


    "So many Samsara Immortal Bodies, and of rather high cultivation! Could it be...?" The Heaven Lord began to wonder. "Correct! It''s me! The day of your death has come!" An eerie giggle drifted through the air.


    The many Samsara Immortal Bodies began to stand aside, allowing a woman wearing a dark purple gown to softly and slowly step forward.


    This was none other than the Samsara God!


    The Samsara God had enslaved innumerable people within her Samsara, and she could see through all their eyes. She had spies in all of the various large alliances in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and even the other five God Eyes'' factions had been infiltrated by her Samsara Immortal Bodies. The Samsara God herself was also one of the people who was hunting down the Heaven Lord.


    "I didn''t think that the Samsara God herself would come for me." The Heaven Lord couldn''t help but smile.


    In normal circumstances, the Samsara God, who did not specialize in combat, would hide behind the curtain and let her Samsara Immortal Bodies do the job. However, the Samsara God had to personally appear this time because she was forced to.


    The Heaven Lord''s two explosions had destroyed almost all of the Samsara God''s powerful Samsara Immortal Bodies, and the heavily injured Samsara God had never stopped in her search, so she had also not recovered yet. The Samsara God had no powerful Samsara Immortal Bodies that could be used against the Heaven Lord currently, thus, the Samsara God had to personally intervene.


    Even if she was not skilled in combat, she was still a God, her strength far above a God King. In addition, based on the intelligence reports she had received, the Heaven Lord''s injuries were severe, and it was difficult for him to fully open his Heavenly Dao God Eye. He was even forced to flee from two God Kings.


    "Just obediently become my Samsara Immortal Body! I''ll treat you well." The Samsara God charmingly smiled, her eyes gleaming with greed and evil as she stared at the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    "Heh, it seems like this old man''s luck isn''t that bad!" The Heaven Lord suddenly began to laugh, his smile infused with desire, confidence, and tyranny.


    "Mm?" The Samsara God''s brow creased. In such desperate straits, the Heaven Lord could actually smile?


    But a moment later, her face twisted in shock.


    Boom!


    An ancient energy erupted from the Heaven Lord''s body. His body transformed into a God-Devil Body one thousand feet tall, covered in golden-silver lights and exuding a domineering energy that suppressed all things. The Heavenly Dao God Eye on the Heaven Lord''s forehead suddenly opened, and the eight eyes focused on the Samsara God.


    "No... impossible! Weren''t you heavily injured?" The Samsara God was stunned.


    The Heaven Lord was like a terminally ill patient suddenly healed.


    She sensed that, though the Heaven Lord was still injured, his condition was much better than the Samsara God expected.


    The Samsara God did not dare to fight with the Heaven Lord. After all, even the Spacetime God, who was far more skilled in combat and possessed peerless speed, was no match for the Heaven Lord.


    "Die!" The Heaven Lord''s face chilled as the Heavenly Dao God Eye began to turn. Lighting and fire exploded out of the void, space itself began to rupture, and terrifying storms began to devastate the world.


    "Protect me!" the Samsara God called out as she fled.


    Although her injuries were not too much worse than the Heaven Lord''s, she would have never dared to directly contend against the Heaven Lord even at her peak, and certainly not without all the powerful Samsara Immortal Bodies that had already been sacrificed.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    God energy crisscrossed the region. All the creatures living in this region were instantly killed. Those countless Samsara Immortal Bodies vanished in the blink of an eye.


    "Samsara Bind!" The Samsara God activated her Samsara God Eyes, a dark and lingering fog gathering within them.


    The Samsara God knew that her Samsara Immortal Body was no match for the Heaven Lord. Thus, when the Heaven Lord began to strike, she prepared this move.


    Hisssss!


    The dark fog engulfed the Heaven Lord and sealed him within. At the same time, the Samsara God fled.


    "You want to bind me with just this?" The Heaven Lord loudly laughed as destructive energy shot out of his Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Samsara God power binding him was instantly vaporized.


    The Heaven Lord had researched the Eight Great God Eyes more than anyone else. The Samsara God''s move could not be undone with normal techniques, so he used the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye without hesitation. He needed to kill the Samsara God as quickly as possible.


    Boom! Bang!


    With a punch, a golden-silver light hurtled forward, obliterating everything in its path.


    "No...!" the Samsara God screamed in panic. Other than the Destiny God Eye, the Samsara God was the weakest of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    The Heaven Lord''s fist was an attack that was very difficult for her body to endure. The majority of the Samsara God''s body was turned to dust.


    However, the Samsara God''s body was the strongest Samsara Immortal Body of all.


    Bzzzz! Hwoosh!


    The Samsara God''s body gradually began to recover.


    "Ancient Shakes the Heavens!" The Heaven Lord brought his hands together and roared, his immense Ancient Race bloodline energy causing space itself to tremble.


    Kaboom!


    A massive golden-silver divine stamp took form in the sky, wrapped with a terrifying suppressive power as it descended.


    The Samsara God was unable to dodge and was suppressed within it.


    "How could this be? What happened to your injuries?" The Samsara God stared in terror at the Heaven Lord, unable to explain what was going on.


    The Heaven Lord that had escaped from the six God Eyes was clearly extremely weak, not even able to fight against two God Kings. Why was he suddenly so strong? Was it all faked? But not even the Illusion God Race, skilled in disguise, could fool so many God Eyes.


    "Die!" The Heaven Lord found it hard to suppress his laughter, but at this time, his only thought was killing the Samsara God, not answering her questions.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Heavenly Dao God Eye turned, and the strength of the ancient stamp strengthened. The Samsara God sealed within was dealt a destructive blow.


    The Samsara God''s body was constantly destroyed and restored, but everything had its limit. Once her Samsara Origin ran out, she would not be able to revive.


    "Heaven Lord, your plan won''t succeed!" The Samsara God clenched her teeth and activated her Samsara of Life God Eye.


    She could not escape the Heaven Lord, and if this stalemate continued, she was doomed. Thus, she chose to use the Samsara of Life God Eye to reincarnate.


    Upon reincarnation, she would still have the Samsara God Eye, and she would once more become the Samsara God. And the Heaven Lord, by displaying such immense power here, had certainly alarmed others, which meant that the Heaven Lord''s act would be exposed and he could no longer use the same plan to kill a second God Eye.


    Hisssss!


    The Samsara God''s body and soul turned into a streak of light and flowed into the Samsara of Life God Eye.


    "With the Heavenly Dao God Eye, all laws and rules are mine to decide!"


    The Heavenly Dao God Eye flashed, and a supreme energy that destroyed all laws and principles exploded outward. At this moment, everything around the Heaven Lord collapsed and crumbled, including the Heaven Lord''s own golden- silver divine stamp, but the Samsara God''s reincarnation was also interrupted.


    "No...!" The Samsara God''s face turned ghastly pale, and her Samsara God Eye became extremely weak. She had gambled everything on reincarnation, and the art''s interruption not only consumed most of her energy but also caused a backlash.


    "Now, you can die!" The Heaven Lord''s eyes gleamed with a savage light.


    Boom!


    Circulating his Ancient Race bloodline, he punched forward with golden-silver light. With the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye, this fist of energy began to flash with lightning, and its strength soared to transcendent levels!


    Kaboooom!


    The energy fist blasted apart the world and turned the Samsara God''s body to dust together with her pair of Samsara God Eyes.


    With this, one of the Eight Great God Eyes had died.


    The Heaven Lord simply stood and waited as the supreme energy of a God descended from the Fan Universe and surged into his Heavenly Dao God Eye.

 1552 Advancing to the Third Heaven

    Chapter 1552 - Advancing to the Third Heaven


    In the sky of the Dream Divine Kingdom, a dark and massive vortex of Yuan Qi was slowly spinning. Zhao Feng was able to command the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi of the Dream Divine Kingdom to gather around him.


    Down below, Zhao Feng was pulsing with powerful Primal Chaos energy and profound Spacetime Law energy that were twisting and distorting the region around him.


    Next to Zhao Feng, the silver leaves on the Space Spirit Tree had long ago dried up while the Void Profound Spirit Jade had lost much of its luster, looking like an ordinary piece of jade.


    Zhao Feng''s third God Altar finished forming long ago. The Primal Chaos energy was swiftly circulating within it, setting into motion the Primal Chaos energy of the two God Altars below it.


    This Primal Chaos energy was mixed with a particularly violent and unrestrained Primal Chaos energy. This was the God King Primal Chaos energy. However, the amount of this Primal Chaos energy was rather small, so it was constantly suppressed by Zhao Feng''s own Primal Chaos energy. As more and more days passed, it was gradually tamed and subsumed.


    Zhao Feng was also frenziedly absorbing energy from many resources. A constant stream of energy was flowing into the third God Altar.


    Ten days later, the Primal Chaos energy in Zhao Feng''s body stopped revolving. The three God Altars were now fused together, becoming stable and tough.


    Zhao Feng had reached the Third Heaven.


    With each additional God Altar, the amount of Primal Chaos would multiply. At this moment, Zhao Feng felt like he had an infinite amount of energy at his command.


    Besides the evolution of his God Altar and Divine Power, he had also advanced once more in his Space Law.


    "Late-stage Space Law!"


    As Zhao Feng experienced this level of Law energy and circulated it, he developed an even deeper understanding of his Divine Kingdom. Zhao Feng discovered that an advance in the Space Laws could also allow him to further stabilize his own Divine Kingdom.


    But suddenly:


    Thumpthump! Thumpthump!


    Zhao Feng''s Dream God Eye began to beat, communicating a message mixed with complicated emotions. After contemplating it for a long time, Zhao Feng opened his eyes.


    "A God Eye... is dead!?" Zhao Feng was in disbelief.


    He had originally decided that if the struggle for the Heavenly Dao God Eye was still going on after he broke into the Third Heaven, he might participate, but he hadn''t expected for such a major event to take place right after his breakthrough: a God Eye had been killed. And Zhao Feng sensed that the Heavenly Dao God Eye had gotten even stronger.


    "I can even sense the Heavenly Dao God Eye?" Zhao Feng murmured in surprise.


    At the moment of the God Eye''s death, he was suddenly able to sense the Heavenly Dao God Eye and also that it had seemingly gotten even stronger.


    "Could it be...?" Zhao Feng opened his eyes and thought of a possibility.


    When he thought of this, Zhao Feng became restless.


    "Thought Teleportation!" Zhao Feng used his Dream Origin to create a dream where he imagined a place in the Life Sacred Land.


    Swish!


    He vanished.


    At the same time, in the northern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, the Divine Punishment, Spacetime, and Life Gods were struck dumb by what they had just learned.


    "A God Eye was killed just now!?" The Life God was shocked.


    "How could this be? Who could possess this power?" The Divine Punishment God was solemn.


    No God had ever died since the emergence of the Eight Great God Eyes, let alone one of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    "Nothing is impossible. The two explosions in our battle with the Heaven Lord damaged our Origins...." The Spacetime God¡¯s eyes were grim.


    After one''s Origin energy was injured, one would need several thousand years of seclusion to recover. Thus, they were currently all pursuing the Heaven Lord while heavily injured.


    This also meant that the six Gods involved in that battle were much weaker than Gods usually were. If two or three Gods made a plan, they truly did have a chance to kill one of these six God Eyes.


    "Forget it! Chasing down the Heaven Lord is more important!" the Divine Punishment God declared.


    The other two agreed, and the trio set off. When the three Gods were together, even if heavily injured, they had nothing to fear.


    In the northern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, near the site of the battle between the Heaven Lord and the Samsara God Eye, the world had been blasted into utter chaos.


    The Heaven Lord stood alone in the void. His eyes were closed, but the Heavenly Dao God Eye at the center of his forehead was opened extremely wide as it received that supreme God energy originating from the Fan Universe.


    Suddenly, the eye trembled as its power seemed to rise to a new level. This tremble traveled through space, causing all of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods to shiver.


    The power of the Samsara God Eye... absolute control over samsara!" The Heaven Lord spread apart his arms as if he was basking in the power.


    At this moment, the power of the Samsara God Eye was completely transferred to him, and the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye only further strengthened that of the Samsara God Eye. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao God Eye itself had received a significant boost.


    The current me has already surpassed a God, but this still isn''t enough...." The Heaven Lord smiled in satisfaction, but then he composed himself.


    Although he possessed a strength beyond a God, this did not mean that he was invincible. His goal was to form the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye and obtain that supreme and perfect strength.


    "What a pack of idiots!" The Heaven Lord jeered.


    He was initially confident in his ability to kill the Life God, but nothing was absolute, and there was always a chance that new variables could appear. Expectedly, a new variable appeared in the war, causing the situation to fall out of control. He became incapable of killing any single God Eye and even stood a chance of being killed by the God Eyes instead.


    But the Heaven Lord would not so easily give up. If one wanted to obtain victory, one had to sink the boats and fight with one''s back to the water. In the process, he lost a complete offensive Ancestral Artifact, countless years of resources accumulated by the Heaven Defying Faction, and one of his clones. The Heaven Lord was able to fool the God Eyes into thinking he was weak because of this clone, or perhaps one could say his substitute.


    During the detonation of Ancestral Artifact Xingtian, the Heaven Lord had switched out with his clone. The power and disruption of the Ancestral Artifact''s detonation succeeded in affecting the judgment of the God Eyes.


    In the second explosion, this substitute had taken the damage in the Heaven Lord''s place. The weak energy that the God Eyes had sensed was merely that of his clone. In reality, the Heaven Lord was only affected by the first explosion, so his injuries were much lighter than any of the six God Eyes.


    The substitute was able to deceive the six God Eyes because it was made from a Heaven''s Legacy Cat that had fused with the Ancient Race bloodline. Of course, the Heaven Lord had made other preparations too just in case. The clone was identical to him in all aspects, even containing his Origin energy. One would have to look very, very closely to tell the difference, but again, the power of the explosion had affected the judgment of the six God Eyes.


    This is what allowed the first step of his plan to succeed.


    Besides that, the Heaven Lord had intentionally spread the news that the Heavenly Dao God Eye could be seized, successfully breaking up the alliance between the God Eyes.


    Feigned weakness, the two explosions, the confusion with his substitute, and the spreading of information had succeeded in baiting the God Eyes into attacking alone. This plan allowed the Heaven Lord to kill a God Eye and take his first step in completing the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye.


    "What comes next is direct confrontation!" The Heaven Lord naturally knew that the war was far from over.


    From the war between the Heaven Defying Faction and the Life Sacred Land to the battle between Gods to the struggle for the Heavenly Dao God Eye, there had been no break whatsoever. And now that the struggle for the Heavenly Dao God Eye was over, an even greater war was imminent.


    The Heaven Lord''s battle with the Samsara God had shaken the world. Anyone who was nearby would be drawn over. Besides that, the appearance of the Heaven Lord earlier had already gathered many experts in the area.


    Swish! Swish!


    Several dozen experts arrived, all of them drawn over by that momentous battle.


    "How could this be? This demeanor, this strength...!" A Second Heaven God Lord felt his heart tremble as he stared at the chaotic world in the distance. Didn''t the intelligence reports say that the Heaven Lord''s strength had fallen to the God King level?


    "Since you''re here, why don''t you become my loyal soldiers?" The Heaven Lord''s voice resounded in all their hearts. "Run!" This was the only thought left in their minds.


    But in front of a God, there was nowhere to go!


    Boom! Whoosh!


    A terrifying ancient energy caused the world to shake and groan. This was the Ancient Race bloodline that had dominated all Ten Thousand Ancient Races. Every being in the range of ten million li had to drop to their knees and bow.


    Before the appearance of the Eight Great God Eyes, the Ancient Race had dominated the universe. If the two had existed in the same era, the founder of the Ancient Race might have been able to suppress the God Eyes.


    "Extinguish!" The Heaven Lord activated the Heavenly Dao God Eye, causing various kinds of Law energy to emerge.


    Fire, wind, and lightning brashly swept through the area, slaughtering all.


    Before a supreme God, those beneath the God King level had no chance of resisting!


    The world fell quiet once more. Everything before the Heavenly Dao God Eye had vanished.


    "Come out!" The Heaven Lord again activated the Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    Before killing these people, the Heaven Lord had planted Samsara marks on their bodies. Thus, he already had complete control of their souls.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The dark underworld mist drifted out of the Heaven Lord''s eye, figures gradually emerging from it.


    "There will be another war soon. Now is the time to recruit soldiers!" The Heaven Lord chuckled as he began to work. The news that he killed the Samsara God had not spread yet, so there were still countless experts searching for him.


    In a place nearby:


    Thwish!


    A dazzling golden light swept through the world, destroying everything in its path. This person was none other than the Destruction God.


    "A God Eye has died!? What''s going on?" The Destruction God was uneasy, but he still decided to make his way toward the location indicated by the information that had been gathered.


    Soon, he sensed a familiar and powerful energy.


    "This aura... the Heaven Lord!?" The Destruction God was shocked.


    Why was the Heaven Lord''s aura so powerful?


    He sensed the aura of the fleeing Heaven Lord back then and knew that it was rather weak, indicating that his injuries were worse than theirs. After all, the Heaven Lord had endured two explosions and burned his own Origin energy. Otherwise, the six God Eyes would not have ended up in such a miserable state.


    But at this moment, the Heaven Lord did not seem very injured.


    "He doesn''t seem heavily injured, and what if this is real...? In a one-on-one, I''m no match for him!" As the Destruction God pondered, he maintained a distance from the Heaven Lord and prepared to retreat at any time.


    "I didn''t think that two God Eye Deities would come so quickly! Let us continue our battle then!" The Heaven Lord instantly smiled, and his body began to seethe with fighting intent.


    "Two?" The Destruction God''s eyes twinkled.


    On the other side of the Heaven Lord, a pitch-black figure slowly emerged. It was the Death God.


    "Destruction, I didn''t think that you would get here so fast." The Death God sinisterly smiled.


    They had temporarily split up due to the struggle for the Heavenly Dao God Eye, but now, they both sensed that the Heaven Lord was not as heavily injured as he had seemed. In secret, the two God Eye Deities had already begun to discuss working together.

 1553 The Heaven Lord Rises Again

    Chapter 1553 - The Heaven Lord Rises Again


    The Destruction God and Death God were once more facing the Heaven Lord, but they both sensed that the Heaven Lord''s aura was powerful, his injuries not as serious as they imagined. His injuries were even lighter than those of the two God Eye Deities.


    The two God Eye Deities had never underestimated the Heaven Lord, and now, they simultaneously decided to work together against him.


    "Death Beam!"


    "Destruction Divine Ray!"


    The two God Eye Deities attacked with incredible speed.


    The strength of two God Eye Deities descended upon the region. The Destruction God''s eyes erupted with dazzling golden divine light that destroyed all it touched, even space itself. On the other side, the Death God''s eyes emitted a pitch-black ray of light that caused everything it touched to dim and decay.


    Two rays of energy, one black and one gold, shot toward the Heaven Lord. Being in the face of destructive attacks from two of the most offensively powerful God Eye Deities would make any other God not dare to be careless, but at this time, the Heaven Lord was extremely composed and did nothing at all.


    "What''s going on?" The Destruction God''s face darkened as he began to think.


    Based on the intelligence reports, the Heaven Lord should have only been a little stronger than a typical God King. When facing two God Eye Deities, he should have been doomed with zero chance of survival. Thus, the Heaven Lord might have already given upon resisting, knowing that he was powerless to resist. But for some reason, the Destruction God felt very uneasy.


    Boom! Bang!


    Gold and black energy completely engulfed the Heaven Lord''s body. A shockwave of forbidden energy swept across the world, causing the fabric of space itself to tremble.


    After a long while, the dust began to slowly settle. The two God Eyes pierced through all obstructions to stare into the center of the explosion.


    "Impossible!" Death and Destruction both blurted out in shock.


    The Heaven Lord''s body in the center of the explosion was gradually recovering. This trait, this ability... wasn''t it that of a Samsara Immortal Body?


    Could it be...? Did the Samsara God already kill the Heaven Lord and turn him into one of her Samsara Immortal Bodies?


    But the two God Eye Deities soon thought of another possibility: the Samsara God was the one who was killed by the Heaven Lord, and the Heaven Lord had seized the abilities of the Samsara God Eye!


    "Impossible! Was the God Eye that died Samsara?" The Destruction God didn''t dare to believe this.


    The Heaven Lord''s fate had clearly been sealed, and he was clearly at the end of the line. How did he manage to kill a God Eye and rise again?


    Bzzzz! Booom!


    A golden screen of light erupted from the Destruction God''s eyes and began to sweep forward. All objects caught up in this screen were obliterated into nothingness.


    However, the effects of this screen of Destruction were extremely weak against the Heaven Lord. The Heaven Lord possessed one of the strongest physical bodies - the Ancient Race''s Ancient God-Devil Body - which possessed a supreme defense against any kind of energy.


    Despite that, the Destruction God''s Destruction energy was still effective against the Ancient God-Devil Body, but the Heaven Lord also possessed the abilities of the Samsara Immortal Body now. The two combined made it so that the Heaven Lord seemed completely unaffected.


    "Haha, Samsara was the first. Which of you two will be the second?" The Heaven Lord loudly laughed.


    The Samsara God Eye''s abilities combined with the Ancient God-Devil Body created an invincible strength that exceeded common sense! Even the Destruction God, who could obliterate all, could not completely destroy it.


    "You killed the Samsara God?" The Death God''s face chilled.


    "Haha, did you really think that I was heavily injured? That my cultivation had fallen?" The Heaven Lord couldn''t help but laugh.


    "There was some trick in those two explosions?" The Death God suddenly thought of something, his eyes rippling.


    Based on the situation then, it really did seem like the Heaven Lord had been forced into detonating the Ancestral Artifact and then detonating his Divine Kingdom, but now that he thought about it, the Heaven Lord could probably have predicted that not even the explosion of an Ancestral Artifact would be able to kill six God Eyes. If he had used the explosion of the Ancestral Artifact together with the explosion of the Divine Kingdom, he might have been able to kill one or two God Eyes while severely injuring the rest, but he had chosen to separate them.


    "Heh, in order to trick you six God Eyes, I wasted an Ancestral Artifact, countless years of resources accumulated by the Heaven Defying Faction, and a powerful substitute infused with the Ancient Race bloodline, but it was all worth it!" The Heaven Lord faintly smiled.


    Perhaps one God Eye could not compare to the total value of one Ancestral Artifact, the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, and the Ancient Race bloodline substitute, but for the Heaven Lord, the God Eye Origin was far more valuable than all of that!


    Bzzz!


    The eye at the center of the Heaven Lord''s forehead opened, the eight pupils within beginning to turn.


    At the same time, eight eyes manifested behind the Heaven Lord. These eight phantom eyes were somewhat closer than before, and the hazy outline of another eye had appeared in the center.


    When Death and Destruction saw this hazy eye, their God Eyes felt a sense of both intimacy and fear. That Heavenly Dao God Eye exuded an ancient ancestral energy that was the source of all things and transcended them all.


    The entire world once more trembled, groveling at the Heaven Lord''s feet.


    "This is... the energy of the Ancestral Eye?" The two God Eye Deities instantly wondered.


    "Die!" The Heaven Lord shot toward the Destruction God.


    With his current abilities, he had no need to fear the two God Eye Deities. As long as he killed one first and stole their God Eye Origin, the other would be even easier to deal with.


    When the time came, nobody would be able to stop him.


    Thwish!


    The Heaven Lord hurtled forward with an unstoppable pressure. The Destruction God''s body trembled, his Destruction God Eye crazily pulsing.


    "The Art of Great Destruction!" The Destruction God clenched his teeth and began to form a spell.


    Buzz! Bzzz!


    The Destruction God Eye madly surged with energy as powerful Destruction Origin energy was harnessed. A nexus of destruction began to form between the Destruction God''s eyes, a golden sun of blinding radiance.


    "Go!" the Destruction God called out, sending forth this nexus of destruction.


    "Reversal!" The Heaven Lord used his Heavenly Dao God Eye to change the rules of the world. The golden sun changed directions and flew toward the Destruction God.


    "That move is no good against me." The Destruction God focused.


    He was extremely familiar with this move of the Heaven Lord''s, so he had already prepared himself against it. His Destruction God Eye was controlling the golden sun this entire time and had it instantly turn around.


    "Oh? It seems that the God Eye Deities are no fools." The Heaven Lord chuckled.


    The God Eye Deities instantly frowned. The Death God immediately attacked, releasing a black deathly mist, black threads of energy shooting out of it to coil around the Heaven Lord.


    Only by working together could they deal with the Heaven Lord.


    "Ancient Divine Fist!" The Heaven Lord activated his Ancient Race bloodline and fired a massive gold and silver fist. At the same time, the Heavenly Dao God Eye turned, strengthening the fist with various Laws.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Ancient Divine Fist struck the Destruction God''s Art of Great Destruction, the impact producing an immense storm of energy. A massive boom resounded through the world.


    Whoosh!


    The Destruction God''s body flew out of the destructive storm, rather worse for wear.


    "Destruction God, your strength doesn''t match your title." The Heaven Lord loudly laughed.


    The Destruction God gnashed his teeth in anger. Even though he was the Destruction God, in that direct clash with the Heaven Lord just now, he wasn''t able to get any advantage and was actually slightly weaker.


    On the other side, the Death God''s expression became apprehensive. In terms of pure offensive power, the Destruction God was number one among the Eight Great God Eyes, and none of them dared to directly fight against him, but the Heaven Lord had done it.


    "Destruction, let''s work together!" The Death God turned into a black streak of light and arrived at the Destruction God''s side.


    When Death and Destruction worked together, they were the strongest offensive pair in all of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Not even the trio of the Divine Punishment, Spacetime, and Life God Eyes dared to underestimate them.


    "Death Decay!" The Death God focused his eyes on the Heaven Lord''s body, and God-level Death energy descended upon it. The Heaven Lord''s Ancient God-Devil Body somewhat dimmed.


    Compared to Destruction energy, the Death Law, which set everything on the path toward oblivion, appeared somewhat more effective against the Ancient God-Devil Body. And the Heaven Lord''s strength was also affected by the Death Law and began to gradually wane.


    Death was not merely a way to kill someone; it could also weaken and restrain.


    "Okay! You hold him down," the Destruction God coldly said. Thwish!


    The Destruction God turned his Destruction God Eyes, once more firing off two beams of Destruction energy.


    The restrained and weakened Heaven Lord could no longer so boldly take on this attack. Although the Heaven Lord had feigned how severe they were, he was indeed still injured and not at full capacity.


    "Don''t get carried away!" Slightly incensed, the Heaven Lord bellowed.


    A vast and supreme energy erupted from the Heavenly Dao God Eye, destroying all laws and principles in the vicinity of tens of thousands of li.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Death God''s weakening was removed, and the Destruction God was caught off guard, blood trickling from the corner of his lips.


    "Retreat!" The two God Eye Deities made up their minds. The Heaven Lord''s power was too domineering. Even working together, they were still no match for him.


    Now was not the time to lose their heads in emotion. Even as Gods, they still needed to yield and retreat.


    "Die!" The Heaven Lord chased.


    He could not let such an excellent opportunity go. If he let them escape and recover, the two God Eye Deities would be much warier and much more difficult to deal with.


    Many experts had gathered in the northern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and news of this battle quickly spread. The Heaven Lord''s injuries had been feigned. The Samsara God Eye had already been killed while the Death God Eye and Destruction God Eye had been defeated by the Heaven Lord and were being chased down.


    The Divine Punishment, Spacetime, and Life Gods were searching for the Heaven Lord in the northern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "We can''t let the Heaven Lord succeed!"


    "Spacetime, you''re the fastest! Hurry and go!"


    The Divine Punishment and Life Gods had heavy hearts. If the Heaven Lord killed the two God Eye Deities, no one would be able to stop him.


    For a moment, the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was shaking as all of its top experts gathered in the north.

 1554 The Second

    Chapter 1554 - The Second


    Somewhere in the northern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods:


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Two streaks of light, one black and one gold, flew through the air. Around them, everything crumbled into dust. "Run!" The Death God had never felt more nervous.


    Normally, no one would believe that a mighty God Eye Deity would be showing such an expression.


    Boom!


    Behind them, a golden-silver streak of light suffused with an indomitable pressure was approaching. All things could only bow in its presence.


    "Pointless struggle." The Heaven Lord coldly grunted as he punched.


    Terrifying energy gathered together and crushed forward.


    The Death God and Destruction God immediately used their God Eyes, unleashing Death and Destruction energy to hold off the Heaven Lord''s attack.


    Boom! Bang!


    A destructive explosion swept through the skies. The two God Eye Deities fled once more.


    "Too strong!" The Destruction God was ghastly pale. In the earlier battle with the Heaven Lord, he took a blow that worsened his injuries. In the following pursuit, the Heaven Lord was simply unstoppable. The two God Eyes could only passively defend against his attacks, which gradually added to their injuries.


    Slowly, the Destruction God was becoming unable to hold on. After all, his strongest trait was unmatched offensive power; speed and defense were both weak points for him.


    The two of them were hoping to run into other experts over the course of their escape. However, those experts beneath the God level were powerless against the Heaven Lord. Any expert that entered the Heaven Lord''s vision during this escape was easily obliterated.


    There was one time when two God Kings came to help, but against the overwhelming power of the Heaven Lord, one died and one escaped, and that one only managed to escape because the Heaven Lord''s objective was the two God Eye Deities.


    "Spacetime, Divine Punishment, Life...!" The Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye suddenly sensed these three God Eyes.


    When facing two God Eyes, he possessed an absolute advantage, but against five God Eyes, he would be rather hard- pressed. After all, the Heaven Lord was not in his best condition and did not dare to be careless.


    "Reversal!" The Heaven Lord activated his Heavenly Dao God Eye and reversed the heavens and earth.


    In a flash, the Death God and Destruction God were suddenly traveling in a different direction. This slightly altered their course so that they were now somewhat farther from the three God Eyes.


    As he altered the world, the Heaven Lord punched.


    Boom! Boom!


    Two golden-silver beams pierced through the world.


    However, the two Gods were not that easy to deal with. The moment the Heaven Lord shifted the directions of the world, they promptly reacted and altered their course. After all, they had seen this move many times, and with their lives on the line, they did not dare to be careless.


    But they still found it difficult to avoid the Heaven Lord''s attack.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two used their God Eyes, unleashing their energies to block for them.


    But the Heaven Lord''s attacks were endless, wind, lightning, and fire brashly sweeping through the world.


    "Go!" By taking on even more wounds, the two God Eye Deities were able to escape this wave of attacks.


    "Weight!" The Heaven Lord used his eyes to place an immense weight on this region of the world. Everything within this region sank down.


    "Break!" The Destruction God used his God Eye, radiating a halo of Destruction energy that obliterated the weight around him and his comrade.


    Thwish! Thwish!


    The two God Eye Deities continued to flee while the Heaven Lord pursued.


    The Heaven Lord''s attacks were ceaseless. If the two God Eye Deities focused on defense, their speed would drop. If they focused on escaping, they would have to bear the brunt of the Heaven Lord''s attacks. In addition, their God Eyes were slowly being exhausted of energy.


    "If this continues, the two of us..." The Death God''s heart was heavy.


    As the Death God, he had never once been hunted down by someone else, nor had he ever been in such a desperate situation. He also knew that the Heavenly Dao God Eye possessed many abilities and formidable perception. With each flipping of the world''s directions, they were drawn farther and farther away from the help of other experts.


    However, they could only flee along the road the Heaven Lord had given them.


    "There''s still hope...!" The Destruction God gasped, his golden eyes somewhat dim.


    The Heaven Lord had risen again, alarming all of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. More and more experts were gathering in this place. Experts would soon be coming from every direction, and it didn''t matter how the Heaven Lord moved around the directions.


    "There''s no hope for you!" The Heaven Lord grunted. He was extremely clear on the situation, so he needed to kill the Destruction God as quickly as possible.


    Boom! Bang!


    The world shattered apart as two beams of lightning shot toward the two God Eye Deities.


    "Death Beam!"


    "Destruction Divine Ray!"


    The two Gods were forced to use their God Eyes to attack and neutralize the Heaven Lord''s attack.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    In this clash, their injuries worsened again.


    But this time, the two Gods sensed that the world had suddenly gotten much warmer and brighter. In the distance, a golden sun was rising.


    "...Bright Sun God!" The two God Eye Deities saw hope and became extremely excited.


    "I said before, there''s no hope for you two!" the Heaven Lord coldly said as he once more attacked.


    Suddenly, two black dots appeared in front. These were two enormous black-gold warships rapidly flying through the air.


    Your Excellency, we kept you waiting!" the Left Protector and Right Protector called out in unison from the warships. "No... how!?" the Death God and Destruction God called out in alarm.


    The Heaven Lord had planned everything out, with the remnants of the Heaven Defying Faction already on their way. "Activate the Destruction weapons!" the two Protectors ordered.


    The major Destruction weapons on the two warships had already finished building up energy and could fire at any time.


    Kaboom!


    Two massive beams of white light swept out from the warships. At the same time, the Heaven Lord used the Heavenly Dao God Eye, harnessing the power of Fire and Lightning to cover the areas not covered by the Destruction weapons.


    Destructive energy packed every inch of the world. The two God Eye Deities had nowhere to run!


    "Weight!" The eye on the Heaven Lord''s forehead gleamed with savage light. Immense weight suddenly engulfed that region of destructive energy.


    Plush!


    The Destruction God''s body trembled as he bent over and vomited blood.


    "Destruction!" The Death God''s heart trembled. He knew that the Heaven Lord planned to kill Destruction first and then him.


    Although he didn''t have much of a personal relationship with the Destruction God, the Gods were once part of the same faction, comrades for countless years. To see Destruction about to be killed by another and his God Eye Origin seized left an extremely unpleasant taste in the Death God''s mouth.


    However, he could not save the Destruction God, so he could only use this chance to escape.


    Thwish!


    The Death God began to exude a formidable God energy that caused everything in the world to wither and trend toward oblivion. He made an opening and fled.


    "I''ll be taking this second God Eye!" The Heaven Lord ignored the Death God. Gathering his bloodline energy, and with the boost from the Heavenly Dao God Eye, he launched a supreme strike.


    At the same time, the Heaven Defying Faction''s warships fired again to lock down the Destruction God.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Destruction God''s body suddenly erupted with a terrifying energy that threatened to drown away everything.


    "Self-detonation!?" The Heaven Defying Faction members on the warships felt their blood go cold.


    The self-detonation of a God - the most offensively powerful Destruction God - was something that they probably wouldn''t survive.


    "Samsara Bind!" The Heaven Lord immediately used the Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    The unique power of the Samsara Bind was the counterpart to Destruction energy, the two of them neutralizing each other.


    When facing the Samsara God''s Samsara Bind, the Heaven Lord was forced to use the supreme attack of the Heavenly Dao God Eye just to undo it.


    Hisssss!


    The eye at the center of the Heaven Lord''s forehead exuded the dark mist of the Samsara underworld. The dark mist coiled around the explosion.


    Brrrooom!


    The two terrifying energies clashed with each other. In the end, the dark mist was scattered by the golden light, allowing this Destructive energy to illuminate the world.


    "The second is dead, and now it''s time for the third!" In this golden world, the Heaven Lord roared as he immediately moved.


    Weakened by the Samsara Bind, the Destruction God''s self-detonation no longer possessed that terrifying power. With his Ancient God-Devil Body and Samsara Immortal Body, he had nothing to fear.


    Thwish!


    The Heaven Lord pursued in a flash of light.


    "I can''t fight back!" The Death God''s heart trembled.


    He knew that the Destruction God, understanding that he couldn''t escape, had self-detonated to give the Death God a chance to run, but the Heaven Lord''s strength was already far above a God''s.


    Suddenly:


    "Stop!" an ethereal voice spoke, seeming to come from extremely far away.


    In a series of intense spatial ripples and a silver flash of light, a white-haired elder appeared.


    "Spacetime!" The Death God''s eyes brightened.


    "One of them died!?" The Spacetime God''s expression was dour. He was a step too late!


    At the same time, a scorching golden-red light came rushing over. The shrill cry of a bird resounded throughout the world, and a moment later, a man appeared, his body circled by golden-red feathers and exuding endless heat and light.


    "Heh, Death God Eye, I''ll take your life next time." The Heaven Lord indifferently glanced at the Spacetime God and Bright Sun God.


    It wasn''t that he was afraid of these two, but he wasn''t at his peak condition. Killing the Samsara God and chasing down the Destruction God and Death God was extremely taxing on him, and he had used the abilities of the Heavenly Dao God Eye far too many times.


    "Want to leave?" The Spacetime God''s eyes flashed with cold light.


    Suddenly:


    Kabooom!


    The world quaked as the supreme energy of the Destruction God surged out of the Fan Universe. Gleaming golden light began to gather in the eye on the center of the Heaven Lord''s forehead.


    "The Destruction God Eye''s power...." The Heaven Lord spread apart his arms, opened the Heavenly Dao God Eye wide, and took in this Destruction Origin energy.


    Behind him, the eight phantom God Eyes became even more in-focus, even closer together. The mysterious outline of the eye in the center also grew more distinct. An ancestral energy that transcended all began to exude from it, causing the principles of the universe itself to tremble and demanding obedience from all things.


    At this moment, everyone present inexplicably trembled, feeling themselves to be puny ants.


    Far in the distance, a youth in a crystalline white robe appeared. Zhao Feng had arrived.


    Upon returning to the Life Sacred Land, he had learned of the Heaven Lord''s movements, but he was afraid that he would arrive in the north too late. Thus, he borrowed the memories of other experts so he could use Thought Teleportation directly.


    "The energy... of the Ancestral Eye!" Zhao Feng''s heart trembled.


    After killing a second God Eye Deity, the Heaven Lord had furthered the evolution of his Heavenly Dao God Eye into the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye.


    Thumpthump! Thumpthump!


    Within his Origin Dimension, the dreamy silver ball began to shudder, releasing massive amounts of Dream Origin energy.


    Hiss...


    That stabbing pain caused Zhao Feng to cover his left eye.


    He sensed that there was an even stronger energy in the dreamy silver ball that wanted to break its shackles.

 1555 Gathering of the Strong

    Chapter 1555 - Gathering of the Strong


    The Heaven Lord spread apart his arms, accepting the Destruction God Eye power pouring down from the Fan Universe. The eye in the center of his forehead pulsed with ever-greater power. All of the realm trembled, all things bowing in submission. The principles governing the universe trembled, and for a moment, the Heaven Lord seemed to stand above everything.


    Everyone present felt their hearts inexplicably tremble, including the Death God, Spacetime God, and Bright Sun God. All of them felt like they had become tiny specks of dust.


    The Spacetime God, who was just about to attack, couldn''t help but stop. The Heavenly Dao God Eye had a powerful suppressive effect against any one of the Eight Great God Eyes, and now, the Heavenly Dao God Eye had become even stronger - so strong that the Spacetime God did not have the courage to strike!


    After taking in the Destruction God''s power, the Heaven Lord began to retract that heaven-shaking aura into his body. "Eight Great God Eyes, these will be your last days alive!" The Heaven Lord laughed and went off into the distance.


    The Heaven Defying Faction members, protected by the warship, didn''t suffer severe losses.


    "Go." The Heaven Lord left with the members of the Heaven Defying Faction.


    A few moments later, the supreme auras of the Life God and Divine Punishment God arrived on the scene. They could tell roughly what happened based on the situation before them.


    "The Heaven Lord is too dangerous...." The Spacetime God Eye lowered his head as he reluctantly admitted this fact. "We have to get rid of him as soon as possible!" The Divine Punishment God was grim and solemn.


    "We might no longer be a match for him," the Life God immediately said.


    The Death God and Destruction God worked together, but the Heaven Lord was still able to kill one of them. If not for the arrival of the Spacetime God and Bright Sun God, the Death God might have died as well.


    And the Heaven Lord now had two God Eye Origins. He was now so strong that not even four God Eye Deities working together would be enough to oppose him.


    If they once more fell for one of the Heaven Lord''s schemes and lost another God Eye, they would truly be finished. Thus, they needed to quickly recover, gather up the power of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, and discuss a plan.


    At this moment:


    Hisssss!


    Zhao Feng''s left eye was unleashing vast floods of Dream Origin, dying the entire world around him in dreamy hues and causing it to tremble.


    "This is...?" The Bright Sun God was startled as he stared at the distant Zhao Feng.


    "The Ninth God Eye!" The Life God also looked over.


    "His God Eye energy is getting stronger and stronger!" The Divine Punishment God stared at Zhao Feng''s left eye in alarm.


    He sensed an immensely powerful energy from Zhao Feng''s body, but given the current situation, this was good news. The energy of a God Eye was a power they could not go without in the battle against the Heaven Lord.


    "It might have been the stimulation from the Heavenly Dao God Eye...." the Death God muttered.


    The Eight Great God Eyes all had a reaction to the Heavenly Dao God Eye. Zhao Feng was previously unable to use the full extent of the Ninth God Eye''s power, but after being stimulated by the Heavenly Dao God Eye, he was probably able to use more of its power.


    At this point, the Death God had lost all interest in Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye. Dealing with the Heaven Lord was the first priority now. The opposing factions of God Eyes had already ceased to exist. He just hoped that Zhao Feng could reach the same level as the rest of them so that he could be useful in the battle against the Heaven Lord.


    "Let''s withdraw." The Spacetime God sighed.


    "Everyone, let''s go to my Life Sacred Land," the Life God offered.


    Although the Heaven Lord had retreated, no one knew what he was planning. Thus, it was better that the four God Eyes did not split up, or else they might give the Heaven Lord an opening. Moreover, the Life God could treat the injuries of the other God Eyes so that they could recover as quickly possible.


    "Life, you don''t mind me, right?" The Death God gave a mocking chuckle.


    "We have to remove the Heaven Lord as quickly possible. Let us discuss countermeasures at the Life God''s Sacred Land," the Bright Sun God proposed.


    "Okay!" The Life God agreed.


    The Gods returned to the Life Sacred Land, and Zhao Feng went back with them.


    The news of the deaths of the Samsara God Eye and Destruction God Eye soon spread throughout the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, stunning everyone. Gods had always been the supreme experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, undying and unkillable. Never had one of the Eight Great God Eyes died, much less two in a row.


    Once the Gods reached the Life Sacred Land, they issued a call for all the experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods to gather and discuss countermeasures.


    The Life Sacred Land began to reconsolidate after the war.


    The God Eye Deities entered seclusion. The wounds from the Ancestral Artifact detonation and Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom detonation were not that easy to heal. They needed the power of the Life God.


    In a secret chamber awash with pure Life energy, the four God Eye Deities were seated cross-legged on the floor.


    "I didn''t think that even some of the Eight Great God Eyes would die!" The Death God sighed. Even though he was the Death God, he had nearly died himself at the hands of the Heaven Lord.


    "Don''t think about so much. If we can recover before the Heaven Lord, we can catch him offguard," the Life God gently said.


    During the healing process, the Life God realized that there was some sort of connection between the four God Eyes and that her healing techniques were much more effective than anticipated. If this continued, they might be able to recover before the Heaven Lord.


    "Mm!" The Divine Punishment God grunted.


    In a certain palace within the Life Sacred Land:


    "Brother Feng, if the Heaven Lord really does fuse together the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye, do you think this world really will vanish like a dream as the legends say it will?" Zhao Yufei lay on Zhao Feng''s chest, a serene expression on her face.


    "It won''t!" Zhao Feng replied after a moment''s hesitation.


    But this was not what he actually thought. Zhao Feng understood that the Heaven Defying Faction''s goal was to leave this world, and this was the reason the Heaven Lord wanted the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye. This meant that the legend might be true.


    "The Heaven Lord is just one person. The God Eye Deities will eliminate him and bring all this to a stop." Zhao Feng gently stroked Zhao Yufei''s supple hair.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei looked up at Zhao Feng, somewhat worried.


    She had once been happy that Zhao Feng had the Ninth God Eye, as it meant that Zhao Feng was certain to become a supreme expert. But now, Zhao Feng, as the Ninth God Eye, was one of the Heaven Lord''s targets and would have to participate in the battle against the Heaven Lord.


    Zhao Feng clenched his fists. The Heaven Lord had to be eliminated, or else it would be hard to say what would happen to the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Time slowly passed. The Heaven Defying Faction and the Heaven Lord seemed to disappear like a puff of steam, and there was no news of them.


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods gradually became peaceful.


    Summoned by the four God Eye Deities and the Bright Sun God, many experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods began to gather in the Life Sacred Land.


    After one year, the neutral member of the Eight Great God Eyes, the Myriad Forms God Eye, arrived at the Life Sacred Land.


    Five years quickly passed.


    The four God Eye Deities were busy healing their injuries and did not appear once, so the Myriad Forms God Eye and the Bright Sun God handled everything.


    Zhao Feng did not rest in this period, rushing around here and there.


    Zhao Feng didn''t know if the Heaven Lord was still watching him. Not even God Eye Deities could oppose the Heaven Lord, and if the Heaven Lord was still hunting the Ninth God Eye, Zhao Feng was placing himself in immense danger.


    Even though he possessed the Dream God Eye, he was still insignificant to the Heaven Lord - someone who could be easily crushed.


    Thus, Zhao Feng was rushing around everywhere in search of Space Ancestral Artifact fragments. Once he obtained all the Space Ancestral Artifact fragments, Heaven Ascendant would absorb them all on its own and become a complete Ancestral Artifact.


    If he had a complete defensive Ancestral Artifact, he would have one more powerful trump card at his disposal.


    In the battle with the Heaven Defying Faction, Zhao Feng had obtained many spoils, with many Ancestral Artifact fragments among them. He used all his spoils besides the Ancestral Artifact fragments to exchange with the other experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods for Space Ancestral Artifact fragments.


    In these last five years, Zhao Feng had traded for two pieces and found one on his own.


    "I''ve come back to this place...." Zhao Feng had returned to the Gulong Zone.


    He had learned from intelligence reports that the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land''s God King Swallow Devour possessed a Space Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    The Heaven Devouring Sacred Land floated above a holy land of the Gulong Zone.


    Zhao Feng''s arrival alarmed the experts of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.


    "Who goes there?" An elderly and dignified voice came out from the barrier of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.


    "Zhao Feng," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    A few moments later, a gap appeared in the barrier, and a white-haired elder stepped out. Strange black symbols covered his cheeks.


    "I did not think that Ninth God Eye Zhao Feng would pay a visit. We were rude in not coming out to greet you! Please forgive our lack of courtesy!" The elder immediately welcomed Zhao Feng inside.


    Zhao Feng''s deeds had spread far and wide, and normally would have shaken the entire realm. It was just that the trouble created by the Heaven Lord had drowned them out.


    Even so, no one in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods dared to look down on Zhao Feng. At the very least, everyone who once desired the Ninth God Eye had dispelled any such thoughts.


    This elder guided Zhao Feng to the main hall of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.


    Even before he entered, a loud voice rang out; "For what reason has the Ninth God Eye paid a personal visit?"


    An imposing man with a rough and crude face was seated in the upper reaches of the hall.


    "The four God Eye Deities in the Life Sacred Land have issued a decree for all experts to gather and discuss countermeasures against the Heaven Lord. God King Swallow Devour, why have you not gone?" Zhao Feng appeared rather surprised.


    "This problem was created by the Eight Great God Eyes. I am confident that the God Eye Deities are capable of dealing with it!" God King Swallow Devour heartily laughed.


    In his view, the Heaven Lord was only targeting the God Eyes, and the matter had little to do with him. And weren''t there still six God Eye Deities left? That should be enough to deal with the Heaven Lord.


    God King Swallow Devour was not the only one with this thought. Zhao Feng had met several other God Kings with the same idea in his search for Ancestral Artifact fragments.


    "But you didn''t come here to convince me to join the faction against the Heaven Lord, right?" God King Swallow Devour questioned.


    Seeing that God King Swallow Devour was being so blunt, Zhao Feng dropped the pleasantries and went straight to the point. "I hear that God King Swallow Devour has a Space Ancestral Artifact fragment. Is this rumor true?"


    "Oh? You are interested in my Space Ancestral Artifact fragment?" God King Swallow Devour squinted.


    In truth, he had long ago heard that Zhao Feng was searching for Space Ancestral Artifact fragment, apparently hoping to fuse them into a complete Ancestral Artifact. Thus, God King Swallow Devour had intentionally spread the rumor.


    "What conditions does God King Swallow Devour have?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled. He was sure that God King Swallow Devour knew his goal.


    "Zhao Feng, you must be gathering Space Ancestral Artifact fragments in order to fight back against the Heaven Lord. In exchange for your Space Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, I, God King Swallow Devour, am willing to join the anti-Heaven Lord faction!" God King Swallow Devour put on an urgent expression as he righteously declared.


    Zhao Feng''s eyes flashed. It turned out that God King Swallow Devour was after his Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    You still cannot fully use your God Eye''s power. I will prove to be of greater use if I take your place in the battle against the Heaven Lord," God King Swallow Devour added, beginning to exude a frightening pressure.


    The Heaven Devouring Sacred Land was ranked in the middle of the eighteen Sacred Lands of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but God King Swallow Devour was ranked among the very best God Kings.


    If God King Swallow Devour possessed a complete Ancestral Artifact, he could exhibit the fighting power of a God. Even if it was just a Space Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, God King Swallow Devour was strong enough that his strength would be infinitesimally close to a God''s.

 1556 Boost in Ability

    Chapter 1556 - Boost in Ability


    "God King Swallow Devour, you''re underestimating the Ninth God Eye." Zhao Feng merely smiled at God King Swallow Devour''s words.


    After breaking into the Third Heaven, Zhao Feng didn''t even need to use the Dream God Eye or the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact to have the strength equivalent to an average God King. If he used both of them, he could even fight against a top-class God King.


    And in witnessing the evolution of the Heavenly Dao God Eye, his Dream God Eye was stimulated, which had seemingly increased its power. Although Zhao Feng hadn''t felt anything substantial yet, he was sure that his Dream Origin had increased. He could use it over long periods of time without worrying.


    "Oh? You believe that you will be more effective than me in battle?" God King Swallow Devour gave a profound smile.


    He had also once dreamed about obtaining the Ninth God Eye, but as Zhao Feng matured, he gradually cast aside the idea, unwilling to offend Zhao Feng. But this did not mean that God King Swallow Devour felt he was inferior to Zhao Feng, at least not while Zhao Feng was still unable to use the full power of the Ninth God Eye, having only recently broken into the Third Heaven.


    "This one said nothing of the sort." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    "Why don''t we do this? You seem to be extremely confident in your strength, so let''s have a simple bout. If you win, I''ll give you my Space Ancestral Artifact fragment. If I win, you will trade me your Pseudo Ancestral Artifact." God King Swallow Devour gave a nonchalant smile, and his eyes gleamed as he slowly spoke.


    God King Swallow Devour''s proposal seemed to benefit Zhao Feng more. After all, if Zhao Feng won, he would receive the Ancestral Artifact fragment with no questions asked, but if he lost, he would still get something in exchange for the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    "Okay! I would also like to experience God King Swallow Devour''s skills." After some thought, Zhao Feng agreed.


    "Good, then let''s go!" God King Swallow Devour smugly smiled.


    In his view, Zhao Feng might be the Ninth God Eye, but it was precisely this fact that made Zhao Feng too conceited.


    The Heaven Devouring Sacred Land was located on the edge of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and was rather inconspicuous, but God King Swallow Devour was definitely one of the best God Kings. Once he obtained Zhao Feng''s Pseudo Ancestral Artifact and gathered the rest of the fragments into a supreme Ancestral Artifact, he would become a God. Even if Zhao Feng later became a God himself, he would still have nothing to fear.


    Not much later, the two of them arrived at an independent dimension. God King Swallow Devour had also asked some of the upper echelon members of his faction to spectate the battle.


    "Zhao Feng, let''s begin!" God King Swallow Devour smiled.


    His bloodline energy surged, and his body got larger and larger. Two black horns sprouted from his head. The black tattoos on God King Swallow Devour''s body began to wriggle and writhe, surging into his savage mouth.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng gathered Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energy into his hand, instantly creating a Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    God King Swallow Devour activated his bloodline energy from the very start, showing that he was intent on obtaining the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact and would not go easy. Thus, Zhao Feng would also not show any courtesy. After all, a top-class God King was no easy opponent.


    God King Charflame and God King Heaven Dragon were considered average God Kings, but God King Swallow Devour and the Illusion God Race''s God King Nethercloud were top-class God Kings.


    Thwish!


    An immense Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword shot forward.


    "Swallow!" God King Swallow Devour opened his mouth, and a black vortex suddenly appeared in front of the sword. It exerted a powerful devouring force that pulled at the sword.


    "Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy? A little hard to swallow." God King Swallow Devour''s expression flickered.


    He could instantly devour the attack of any ordinary Third Heaven God Lord. Although Primal Chaos energy had a devouring property, the Heaven Devouring Race was renowned for its ability to devour, so it was unquestionably stronger. In addition, God King Swallow Devour had a higher cultivation.


    A few moments later, God King Swallow Devour had absorbed the sword. God King Swallow Devour''s belly slightly bulged.


    "Go!" God King Swallow Devour roared, and then he spat out a ball of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy. This ball of energy also contained some of God King Swallow Devour''s own Divine Power.


    The Heaven Devouring Race could devour any energy and make it their own.


    "As expected of the Heaven Devouring Race!" Zhao Feng circulated his Divine Power and activated Heaven Ascendant. In a flash, an extremely solid spatial barrier enveloped Zhao Feng. Upon smashing into this barrier, the dark ball of energy was progressively weakened.


    Boom! Bang!


    In the end, the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact succeeded in blocking the ball of energy.


    "As expected of Pseudo Ancestral Artifact Heaven Ascendant. And it seems to be at an incredibly high level of completion!" God King Swallow Devour did not attempt to hide his desire for the crystalline robe.


    "Swallow!" God King Swallow Devour focused on Zhao Feng and opened his mouth wide.


    A black vortex appeared around Zhao Feng.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng immediately moved away from it, but the black vortex still managed to devour some of his Divine Power and the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact''s energy.


    "It seems like top-class God Kings really can''t be underestimated." Zhao Feng chuckled.


    Boom! Hisss!


    Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy surged, forming several dozen Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords in front of Zhao Feng. With a wave of his hand, he sent these swords flying in every direction.


    "Good! This old man will take them all!" God King Swallow Devour heartily laughed and opened his savage black mouth to suck it all in.


    A black vortex formed around him that sought to pull in and devour everything in the world.


    "Swallow!" God King Swallow Devour roared, the devouring energy of the vortex soaring. All the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords were instantly devoured.


    "What a powerful devouring ability!" In shock, Zhao Feng suddenly realized something.


    At this time, God King Swallow Devour opened his mouth and spat out a heaven-shaking energy,


    Boooooom!


    An immense ball of Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energy flew forward, causing the fabric of space itself to tremble.


    Fortunately, Zhao Feng had predicted this and already formed a Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    Boom! Bang!


    God King Swallow Devour''s mighty attacked slammed into the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex. After a momentary stalemate, the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex shattered, but beneath it was the barrier of the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    A Pseudo Ancestral Artifact was not omnipotent, and in the face of a powerful attack from a top-class God King, it was still rather hard-pressed. Fortunately, the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex weakened God King Swallow Devour''s attack, or else it might not have succeeded.


    "Haha, Zhao Feng, you only just broke into the Third Heaven. For you to take a few blows from this old man is already


    rather impressive!" God King Swallow Devour laughed in delight. It was like the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact w


    his.


    The Heaven Devouring Race can devour external energy and make it their own. If I don''t let him devour anything, the Heaven Devouring Race''s power will be greatly reduced.... Zhao Feng began to think.


    The devouring ability of the Heaven Devouring Race was a kind of powerful defense. The more one attacked them, the more their power grew. But if one didn''t attack, how could one defeat them?


    "I hear that the Heaven Devouring Race can devour all things, so why don''t you try my Ninth God Eye?" Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something and calmed down.


    "The Dream Dao, hm?" God King Swallow Devour was not at all worried.


    He could even devour Death, Destruction, Spacetime, and the other energies of the Eight Great God Eyes. It was rumored that the Ninth God Eye specialized in the Dream Dao, but God King Swallow Devour had also fought with experts of this line and devoured their energy just like everyone else''s.


    "Dreamification!" Zhao Feng harnessed a vast amount of Origin energy, and a dreamy mist emerged from his left eye and dyed the entire world into a dreamy paradise.


    Everything Zhao Feng saw became dazzling and bright, but unlike before, all objects in his vision became illusory and transparent.


    "This power...!" God King Swallow Devour''s face went stiff. He had inexplicably begun to weaken. This energy did not seem like the power of the Dream Dao.


    "Swallow!" God King Swallow Devour used his Devouring Law.


    Hisssss!


    A black vortex appeared in the air.


    However, the dreamy hues remained as strong as ever, completely unaffected.


    "He can''t devour my Origin energy?" Zhao Feng saw what was going on. It seemed like his Dream Origin was very unique.


    "Extinguish!" Using his Thought power and focusing on a thought, he had the black vortex disappear.


    "Dreamification has gotten even stronger!" Zhao Feng had an idea.


    At this time, everything before him was ethereal and transparent, as if it was all fake. This allowed Zhao Feng to very easily wipe it all away.


    Zhao Feng once more used his Thought power, but his target this time was God King Swallow Devour.


    In the past, Dreamification could at most obliterate experts of the same level. It would have very little effect on experts of a higher level. But Zhao Feng wanted to see what would happen now.


    An intangible and indescribably mysterious power descended upon God King Swallow Devour. A moment later, God King Swallow Devour sensed that the Divine Power and bloodline energy in his divine body was beginning to disappear.


    "No, how can this be?" God King Swallow Devour used all his energy to resist the mystical ability of the Ninth God Eye.


    Although he managed to slow down the rate of disappearance, he could not completely stop it.


    "It seems like Dreamification really has gotten stronger, and since the Heaven Devouring Race bloodline is somewhat low-level, it can''t resist that much." Zhao Feng analyzed the situation before him.


    "Then I''ll attack and defeat you first!" God King Swallow Devour''s face turned savage as he shot forward.


    Boom!


    He thrust forward a palm, sending a massive wave of black energy infused with immense devouring power toward Zhao Feng.


    "Extinguish!" Zhao Feng focused.


    A bizarre energy assailed the wave, and though the wave did not disappear, it was greatly weakened.


    Boom! Bang!


    The weakened attack was blocked by the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    The Heaven Devouring Race was not inherently strong; they primarily relied on devouring the power of others. And God King Swallow Devour''s unempowered attack had also been weakened by Dreamification, making it even more mediocre.


    Zhao Feng faintly smiled. It seemed like the battle was over.


    In terms of speed, he was not one bit slower than God King Swallow Devour, and when it came to defense, he had the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. God King Swallow Devour was also being constantly weakened by Dreamification. This weakening would not injure him, but the vanishing of these things would damage God King Swallow Devour''s foundations.


    After trying several more attacks, God King Swallow Devour gave up and called out, "Stop! I concede!"


    Under the constant effects of Dreamification, his strength had plunged. If this continued, he would only end up in an even worse situation.


    Nearby, the upper echelon members of the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land were all stunned. God King Swallow Devour conceded!


    But there was nothing that could be done. The Heaven Devouring Race would be strong when it encountered the strong, as it could devour the energy of others, but alas, God King Swallow Devour could not devour Dream Origin energy. Moreover, Zhao Feng had no flaws when it came to speed or defense, and the Dream God Eye had only gotten stronger after being stimulated by the Heavenly Dao God Eye. God King Swallow Devour could only concede, or else even his foundation would be damaged by Zhao Feng.


    After conceding, God King Swallow Devour handed over his Space Ancestral Artifact fragment.


    "Still one piece missing!" Heaven Ascendant told Zhao Feng.


    It was also getting rather excited. Would Zhao Feng really be able to restore it to its complete form so that it could once more display the power of an Ancestral Artifact?


    "Let''s return to the Sacred Land to gather more information."


    Many experts had gathered in the Life Sacred Land by now. Some of them might know something about the final Space Ancestral Artifact fragment''s whereabouts.


    Just as Zhao Feng was returning, outside of the Life Sacred Land, nearly ten Heaven''s Legacy Race members wearing black robes, accompanied by Liu Qinxin, arrived.

 1557 The Destiny God Eye

    Chapter 1557 - The Destiny God Eye


    The arrival of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Sage Faction sent shockwaves throughout the Life Sacred Land. Although many great powers knew that that the Heaven''s Legacy Race was divided into the Sage Faction and the Heaven Defying Faction and that the two factions had long ago ceased interactions with each other, they still knew too little about the Heaven''s Legacy Race. This made them extremely fearful of the Sage Faction and unable to relax.


    "For what reason have Good Sirs made such a long journey?" the Bright Sun God spoke.


    The Heaven Defying Faction has thrown the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods into disarray. As a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, this old man feels deep shame and remorse. In response to the call, this old man has come to the Life Sacred Land to discuss countermeasures against the Heaven Lord," Yu Tianwu stepped forward and calmly said.


    Yu Tianwu seemed completely unaffected by the current situation, his every action exuding calm and wisdom that made people want to believe him.


    The experts in the Life Sacred Land mentally conversed with each other.


    They were naturally aware of the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s capabilities. If they had the help of the Sage Faction, they would definitely have it much easier against the Heaven Defying Faction.


    However, they still found it impossible to completely trust the Sage Faction, especially at a time like this. If they made some sort of mistake, they might end being completely crushed by the Heaven Lord.


    The Myriad Forms God was calmer than most, and as he stared at the Sage Faction group, his eyes eventually settled on the white-robed woman.


    This woman was graceful and elegant, like a lotus in an ink painting. She possessed an air of transcendent and mysterious elegance. Many of the experts in the Life Sacred Land couldn''t help but occasionally glance at this woman.


    But the Myriad Forms God did not focus on Liu Qinxin because of her beauty, but because of her unique and familiar aura.


    "This person..." The Myriad Forms God closed his eyes and began to think back.


    Suddenly, a soft and elegant voice resounded in the Myriad Forms God''s mind, "Myriad Forms, you''ve already forgotten about me?"


    Opening his eyes, the Myriad Forms God exchanged stares with Liu Qinxin.


    "You''re... Destiny!" The Myriad Forms God was startled.


    "The Destiny God Eye?" The Bright Sun God was shocked. The most enigmatic of the Eight Great God Eyes, the Destiny God Eye, had finally appeared.


    "Everyone, please enter!" The Bright Sun God opened the Sacred Land''s barrier.


    The Heaven Lord''s goal was the Eight Great God Eyes, with the Destiny God Eye being one of his targets. Her presence made them all accept the Sage Faction without condition, as they trusted that the Destiny God Eye would not play around with her own life.


    "The Destiny God Eye?" Zhao Feng faintly smiled. Now that his Dream God Eye had evolved, he sensed something when looking at Liu Qinxin just now.


    But deep inside, he still couldn''t believe that Liu Qinxin was actually the Destiny God Eye.


    "Feng, you''ve returned!" Liu Qinxin looked at Zhao Feng, a hint of joy appearing in her usually emotionless eyes.


    "I didn''t think that you would come with the sages."


    Yu Tianwu and Liu Qinxin had both emerged from seclusion, and they brought many sages with them. This indicated just how serious the situation was.


    "Destiny, you should have predicted all this. Why didn''t you tell us? Unless..." the Myriad Forms God immediately asked.


    The Destiny God Eye knew the destiny of the world. She definitely could have noticed some clues before the Heaven Lord was able to obtain the Heavenly Dao God Eye. At the same time, the Myriad Forms God noticed that Liu Qinxin''s God Eye energy was not that strong.


    "In truth, starting from a long time ago, the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods only had seven God Eyes..." Liu Qinxin slowly began to explain.


    As the Destiny God, she knew the past and future - knew practically everything. But as one knew more and more, one could come upon new problems.


    The Destiny God had begun to doubt the world. She wanted to know the truth of this world.


    Thus, she chose to seal her Destiny Origin and cast herself into the endless cycle of samsara so as to comprehend the true principles of the world. This was why she said that the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was home to only seven God Eyes for a very long time.


    "So that was the case." The Myriad Forms God sighed. The Heaven Lord''s plan was able to proceed so smoothly by exploiting this gap.


    Zhao Feng nodded. He now understood that Liu Qinxin and Liu Qinyin were both the Destiny God.


    "What countermeasures do you have?" the Myriad Forms God asked.


    "None at present. The Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye has already absorbed two God Eye Origins, placing him above all God Eyes. Even the Destiny God Eye finds it very difficult to see his future." A hard-pressed look appeared on Liu Qinxin''s face.


    "There must be a way!" the Myriad Forms God firmly declared.


    Although the Destiny God Eye could not divine anything about the Heaven Lord, with her help, they now had a chance of dealing with the Heaven Lord''s schemes. The Sage Faction could also effectively counter some of the Heaven Defying Faction''s tricks.


    "Correct." Liu Qinxin nodded.


    The Dao of Destiny was one of mystery upon mystery. There were no absolutes, and a sliver of hope might appear in even the worst of situations.


    But at present, they needed to wait until the four God Eyes fully recovered. Spacetime, Divine Punishment, Death, and Life were the main force in the battle against the Heaven Lord, and their presence was a necessity.


    With the arrival of the Sage Faction, the Life Sacred Land''s defensive array was further modified. It became sturdier and could now easily switch between attack and defense.


    As time slowly passed, the Life Sacred Land''s members were actively preparing for the coming battle.


    One day, Zhao Feng went to find Liu Qinxin.


    "Qinxin, there''s something I need your help with." Zhao Feng smiled.


    Liu Qinxin was in the middle of awakening her Destiny God Eye, and she had become practically omniscient.


    "You want to ask about the last Space Ancestral Artifact fragment, right?" Liu Qinxin had already guessed at Zhao Feng''s query.


    "Correct!" Zhao Feng was delighted to see that the Destiny God Eye was just as powerful as he had imagined.


    But at the same time, he felt an inexplicable disappointment. His intuition told him that he might not be able to find the last Ancestral Artifact fragment. As the Destiny God Eye, Liu Qinxin probably would have helped Zhao Feng handle this problem long ago if she already knew about it.


    "It is with the Heaven Defying Faction," Liu Qinxin answered.


    A Pseudo Ancestral Artifact only needed seventy percent of the fragments to be successfully forged. Thus, the Heaven Defying Faction did not forge all their fragments into the artifact. They kept the extra fragments and passed them out to experts in the faction to increase their strength.


    After all, Zhao Feng had "borrowed" his first Space fragment from the Heaven Defying Faction. Thus, Zhao Feng already guessed at this possibility.


    Zhao Feng''s heart sank. It seemed like it would be very difficult for Pseudo Ancestral Artifact Heaven Ascendant to ever see completion.


    But since this was the case, he would not force it.


    "Feng, your God Eye is a necessity in the fight against the Heaven Lord." Liu Qinxin profoundly smiled at Zhao Feng. "Mm!" Zhao Feng nodded.


    Perhaps the Destiny God Eye had already seen that the God Eye alliance was on par with the Heaven Lord, and if his God Eye was able to fully awaken, it might tilt the balance of power.


    As the war had not begun yet, Zhao Feng entered seclusion.


    The moment the four God Eye Deities or the Heaven Lord completely recovered, the war would probably begin. He would increase his strength as much as he could in the time he had left.


    While in seclusion, Zhao Feng divided his mind into many parts, with one part researching the Dream God Eye. When he saw the Heaven Lord absorb the Destruction Origin, he vaguely sensed that there was an even greater power hidden in his Dream God Eye. If he could activate it...


    Another part of his mind studied the Primal Chaos Scripture. The power of the Primal Chaos Divine Sword no longer satisfied him. He needed to cultivate even more powerful combat skills.


    The other parts of his mind studied the Tribulation Lightning Sacred Scripture that the Divine Punishment God had exhibited for him.


    These two Paramount Scriptures contained many contents that Zhao Feng still hadn''t studied. He also understood that he needed to reach the God King level. As the holder of a God Eye, he could become a God the moment he became a God King. Only a God King could fully exert the powers of a God Eye.


    Time passed, and the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods experienced a period of momentary peace.


    But this was an eerie peace. Everyone knew that a day would come where this peace was shattered.


    Five years later, in a secret chamber of the Life Sacred Land, Liu Qinxin opened her eyes.


    The Heaven Lord has begun to move!" Liu Qinxin''s face turned grim. The four God Eye Deities had still not emerged from seclusion.


    One day later, shocking news arrived at the Sacred Land.


    "Your Excellencies! The Heaven Defying Faction has begun to move. The Spirit Spring Sacred Land in the eastern region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods has already fallen!"


    This news threw the silent Life Sacred Land into turmoil. The Heaven Defying Faction had already appeared, and it even fearlessly conquered a Sacred Land!


    The great powers of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods gathered in the conference amid a somber mood.


    "Why didn''t they attack us?" God King Charflame was rather confused.


    The Heaven Lord''s goal was the Eight Great God Eyes, and with two of them already dead, the remaining six had gathered in the Life Sacred Land. But the Heaven Lord didn''t attack the Life Sacred Land, instead attacking other Sacred Lands. Wasn''t he just wearing away at his own forces?


    "Your way of thinking is too simple. Given the Heaven Lord''s strength, what will he lose by attacking a Sacred Land without a God?" the Myriad Forms God grimly spoke.


    "Then..." God King Charflame was speechless, and he became pensive.


    "Given the strength of the Heaven Lord and the Heaven Defying Faction, not only will they not lose anything by taking a Sacred Land, they will actually get stronger!" Yu Tianwu suddenly said.


    "Correct. With the power of the Samsara God Eye, the Heaven Lord can use formidable Samsara energy. Those people he''s killed will all become his strength!" The Myriad Forms God showed a tinge of anger on his face.


    If the Heaven Lord directly attacked the Life Sacred Land, his victory was not guaranteed. The majority of the power in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had gathered in the Life Sacred Land. Besides the God Eye Deities, there was also the Bright Sun God and the other two Gods. And the Life Sacred Land was already ready for battle.


    Against this power, even the Heaven Defying Faction under the command of the Heaven Lord could not be certain of victory. However, the Heaven Defying Faction saw the situation, so the Heaven Lord did not carelessly attack. Instead, he decided to go on a "recruitment drive" to strengthen his army.


    Another few days passed.


    "Report! The Gulong Zone''s Heaven Devouring Sacred Land has fallen!"


    Zhao Feng went to the Heaven Devouring Sacred Land some time ago, but God King Swallow Devour appeared to think that the war had nothing to with him. He believed that the God Eyes were capable of dealing with the Heaven Lord.


    Gradually, the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods began to panic. Those factions and experts who thought the same as God King Swallow Devour began to gather around the Life Sacred Land. Even the Life Sacred Land''s bitter foe, the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land, had to put aside its pride and join the alliance.


    This was the safest place in all the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    "Report! The Blood Spirit Sacred Land has fallen!''


    The Blood Spirit Sacred Land was a Sacred Land on the northeastern edge and was rather far from the Life Sacred Land, so its forces were destroyed before it could reach the Life Sacred Land.


    Later that day, a heaven-shaking God energy soared upward, roiling the skies above the Life Sacred Land. The four God Eye Deities finally emerged from seclusion!

 1558 The Final War

    Chapter 1558 - The Final War


    The emergence of the four God Eye Deities instantly pacified the uneasy Life Sacred Land. The four God Eye Deities were immediately informed by the upper echelons about what happened while they were in seclusion.


    "The Heaven Lord recovered before we did?" The Life God was rather surprised. She was confident that the Heaven Lord would not have made such big moves unless he was fully recovered.


    "Does the Heaven Defying Faction intend to turn the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods upside down with this?" The Divine Punishment God''s face was stern.


    "In the Heaven Lord''s hands, the Samsara Origin has become even more powerful!" The Death God couldn''t help but sigh. Not even the Samsara God would have been able to construct so many high-level Samsara Immortal Bodies in such a short amount of time.


    The four God Eye Deities expressed different views on these recent developments, but they all shared the same fear of the Heaven Lord and resolve to eliminate him.


    "What should we do now?" A white-bearded elder stepped forward.


    He had a straight posture and radiated a terrifyingly sharp Sword Intent. He was like an ancient sword covered in dust, simple on the surface but containing limitless power. This was the illustrious Celestial Sword God of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    The call of the God Eye Deities caused the experts of various factions of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods to gather, including the Gods. The Celestial Sword God was the God of the Sword Dao Sacred Land, and his supreme sword techniques could make ghosts and spirits weep.


    "If we just sit here and wait for death, the Heaven Lord will just strengthen his faction until he''s stronger than us and then attack the Life Sacred Land," Yu Tianwu slowly said.


    He had some understanding of Yu Tianshu. While the Heaven Lord seemed rather insane at times, if there was an easier way of achieving victory¡¯ he would take it without hesitation.


    This means that we have to go on the offensive!" a black-haired, black-clothed youth said. His entire body exuded the demeanor of a king.


    Besides the God Eye Deities, the Life Sacred Land currently housed three other Gods. These were the Golden Crow Sacred Land''s Bright Sun God, the Sword Dao Sacred Land''s Celestial Sword God, and this black-clothed youth, the young and most talented God of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, Sikong Dao.


    "Let''s move out!" the Divine Punishment God called out.


    They would have more of an advantage and a greater chance of victory if they stayed in the Life Sacred Land and used its defensive terrain, but the current circumstances compelled them to go out and fight the Heaven Lord.


    Bong! Bong! Bong!


    War drums began to thunder within the Life Sacred Land.


    Within the Dream Divine Kingdom, Zhao Feng was immersed in the Primal Chaos Scripture and Tribulation Lightning Sacred Scripture as he cultivated.


    He had made immense progress in this time, perhaps because of the massive pressure he was under. Firstly, his Time and Lightning Laws had reached early-stage understanding, greatly boosting his overall strength. Secondly, he had learned the higher-level combat skill, Heaven-Closing Primal Chaos Hand. He had also reached a new level of proficiency with regards to Tribulation Lightning energy.


    In summary, without using the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact or the Dream God Eye, Zhao Feng still had strength comparable to a top-class God King.


    At this moment, a sound wave penetrated into the Dream Divine Kingdom.


    "Are we about to move out?" Zhao Feng slowly opened his eyes and retracted his vast aura back into his body.


    Not long after:


    Fwooosh!


    Two white warships tens of thousands of feet in length howled out of the Life Sacred Land and soared into the clouds. This was a new model of warship designed by the Sage Faction and built with immense manpower and resources. It was particularly outstanding when it came to defense.


    As the warships flew, Heaven''s Legacy arrays began to work, causing the ships to pulse with energy.


    Bzzz! Hwoom!


    The two warships flew faster and faster, finally vanishing into the void.


    The Heaven Defying Faction was also skilled in divination. If they did not want to fight with the God Eye alliance, they were completely capable of avoiding such a battle. However, things were different now that the God Eye alliance had the Sage Faction and the Destiny God Eye. Their divinations meant that the brash and arrogant Heaven Defying Faction could no longer avoid a conflict.


    Getting as close to the Heaven Defying Faction as possible was the best way to limit their strength.


    Fortunately, the warships designed by the Sage Faction had the Spatial Shift ability. This was truly a rare ability, but each use required the consumption of a complete supreme-quality God Crystal.


    As the ships traveled, the Gods and God Kings gathered in a secret room within one of the warships.


    "The Heaven Lord has his Ancient God-Devil Body, and he now has the power of the Samsara God Eye and the sheer power of the Destruction God Eye. He''s not just a little stronger than a God now!" Yu Tianwu spoke first, and his words caused the air in the secret room to turn gloomy.


    "How can we defeat the Heaven Lord?"


    "The Heaven Lord has the Heavenly Dao God Eye and the Ancient God-Devil Body. This is so hard to deal with...."


    The many experts stated their own opinions and plans.


    "In facing the Heaven Lord, our only advantage is in our numbers. Thus, we must all stick together. The best way is to work together to slowly exhaust the Heaven Lord," Yu Tianwu slowly said.


    Even the Heaven Lord did not possess an infinite amount of power.


    "In order to deal with the Heaven Lord, our core force will still be the God Eyes," Destiny God Eye Liu Qinxin spoke. At present, not only was she elegant, graceful, and unapproachably mysterious, she also exuded a trustworthy demeanor.


    Though outsiders might not know, those with God Eye Dimensions understood that the power of God Eyes could very easily be fused together.


    For example, the attacks of the Death God Eye and Destruction God Eye could assist each other to produce even greater force. But the Death God Eye would find it very hard to develop this sort of tacit understanding with any other God Kings who cultivated the Destruction Law, and their energies would be very difficult to fuse.


    This might have been because of the relationship between the God Eyes.


    Other than the Destiny God Eye that was no good in battle and the Ninth God Eye whose power could not be fully displayed yet, there were five God Eyes capable of fighting.


    As everyone was discussing the plan.


    "He''s here!" Liu Qinxin suddenly said.


    Bzzz! Boom!


    Countless booms resounded around the two white warships. Far in the distance, the world was shrouded in darkness that exuded a hair-raising danger. It seemed to lead to an underworld of death.


    Fwooosh!


    Two black-golden warships slowly emerged from that mysterious space of roiling darkness.


    The two sides entered a standoff. The pressure exuded by both sides was so great that the space between them began to distort and crack.


    Whoosh!


    Several figures appeared above the white warships. A divine might penetrated through the world, restoring some light to that dark world. This allowed the God Eye alliance to see the enemy army.


    The black-gold warships were surrounded by innumerable pitch-black figures, all of them exuding dark and sinister Samsara energy. These were all Samsara Immortal Bodies!


    "God King Swallow Devour...." Zhao Feng instantly spotted God King Swallow Devour in the crowd.


    God King Swallow Devour was now bound to the shell of a Samsara Immortal Body. Unable to break free, he now had a dreadful and savage expression.


    "What a frightening person!" Xin Wuheng''s face darkened.


    He already knew that the Heaven Lord had massacred three Sacred Lands, taking countless souls hostage and turning them into Samsara Immortal Bodies. Of course, long before this, the Heaven Lord also conquered the Illusion God Sacred Land as well.


    Floating above the countless Samsara Immortal Bodies was a figure in white who radiated an energy that demanded obedience from all beings.


    "Haha, the six God Eyes are all here! This old man feels very honored!" The Heaven Lord suddenly laughed.


    At this moment, all the experts of the God Eye alliance observed this existence who transcended Gods, the Heaven Lord. They all had grave expressions, none of them daring to be careless.


    "Move out!" the Divine Punishment God roared.


    At this stage, there was no point in continuing to talk with the Heaven Lord.


    The other Gods nodded.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The world cracked apart as a supremely powerful energy battered the fabric of space. The five God Eye Deities, the Bright Sun God, the Celestial Sword God, and Sikong Dao instantly charged at the Heaven Lord.


    "What a frightening energy!" Zhao Feng''s heart shivered.


    Any ordinary God King would have probably fled in fear upon seeing this powerful force.


    However, the Heaven Lord bizarrely smiled. "Haha, your six God Eye Origins are all mine!''


    Boom! Bang!


    The Heaven Lord''s body madly surged with the bloodline energy of the Ancient Race, the mighty pressure that had dominated the Ten Thousand Ancient Races causing the heavens to quake.


    At the same time, the Heavenly Dao God Eye began to slowly open. All the God Eyes of the God Eye Deities trembled, as did Zhao Feng''s Dream God Eye.


    The Heaven Lord''s body flashed as he charged forward.


    Brrrooom!


    These two dreadful energies caused the clouds to explode, terrifying storms howling through the region.


    The white and black-gold warships lowered their altitudes to avoid the storm that came with the battle of Gods. Countless experts began to pour out of the warships.


    "Kill!" With a deafening roar, the two armies collided.


    All kinds of energy began to messily clash, and the thick stench of blood began to drift through the air.


    "Haa, I didn''t think this old man would turn out like this!"


    "Since that''s how it is, we can only enjoy the slaughter!"


    Three abnormally powerful Samsara Immortal Bodies of the Heaven Defying Faction began to converse with each other. These three were the God Kings of the Spirit Spring Sacred Land, Blood Spirit Sacred Land, and Heaven Devouring Sacred Land.


    In the rear, the Left Protector began to chant curses, black rays of energy emerging from his back. Behind him, a cloaked figure with a void for a face reached out with two shriveled claws.


    The experts of the Life Sacred Land felt their hearts freeze at this sight. They still recalled the dreadful Shaman arts and curses that came from the Left Protector during the Sacred Land war.


    This time, this old man will end you!" God King Radiant Peak charged out from the Life Sacred Land side.


    "Join the battle!" Zhao Feng waved his hand, letting out the Black Destruction Dragon, his clones, and the ancient beasts.


    The fate of the universe was on the line in this battle, and Zhao Feng was determined to do all in his power.


    At this time, Zhao Feng sensed several powerful killing intents.


    "Mm?" Zhao Feng activated his God Eye, scanned the battlefield, and grimaced.


    The source of this killing intent was coming from the Divine Emissaries Zhao Feng killed before. They had all been revived.


    "Zhao Feng, your death comes today!" Divine Emissary Wu roared. He shot forward, black-violet energy rising up around him as he took the form of a black God-Devil.


    At the same time, Divine Emissary Chang, Divine Emissary Li, Beiming Hui, and all of the other Divine Emissaries charged at Zhao Feng!

 1559 Two God Kings

    Chapter 1559 - Two God Kings


    Zhao Feng didn''t expect that the Divine Emissaries that he had mostly wiped out would all be revived so that he was now facing the complete set of seven.


    The Eye of Samsara was divided into Life and Death. The Samsara of Life could revive the dead and use other Samsara skills. Of course, one could not revive any dead person that they wanted; if they were dead for too long, they could no longer be revived. The Samsara of Death could imprison someone''s soul within the Samsara God Eye, where it could be controlled and made into an undying slave.


    Using the Samsara of Life to revive the dead came at an enormous price, but for the Heaven Lord, reviving some dead Third Heavens was a mere trifle.


    "Zhao Feng, as followers of the Heaven Lord, we will never die. But for you, death is inevitable!" Beiming Hui stared at Zhao Feng, his eyes burning with hatred and his voice oozing derision.


    "Is that so? If you''re revived, I''ll just kill you again." Zhao Feng nonchalantly chuckled.


    These people he had once killed might have been powerful foes to him before, but that was now a matter of the past. Zhao Feng was constantly getting stronger, and he had long ago surpassed his past self.


    "Such arrogance!" Divine Emissary Wu couldn''t help but laugh, and he rushed over, shrouded in a domineering black aura.


    "Demonheaven Palm!" With a wave of his palm, he sent forward a massive demonic palm covered in black patterns.


    "Break!" Zhao Feng waved his hand, immediately forming a Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword that shot forward.


    Boom! Bang!


    The giant demonic palm was instantly obliterated.


    "How...? So strong!" Divine Emissary Wu was stunned by this sight.


    He wasn''t dead for long, but after his revival, Zhao Feng had already grown to a level where a casual strike of his could obliterate one of the combat skills of the Demon God Race bloodline.


    "Primal Chaos Fist!"


    "Time Blade!"


    "Destruction Dragon Breath!"


    The other Divine Emissaries used their own bloodline skills.


    Unperturbed, Zhao Feng took his seething Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy and formed it into a lightning storm that revolved around himself.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The powerful attacks slammed into the lightning storm, and all of them were devoured into nothing.


    At this moment, outside the lightning storm:


    "Zhao Feng, as expected of the holder of the Ninth God Eye! We''re no match for you, but anyone who offends the Heaven Defying Faction will not have a good end!" Beiming Hui roared.


    "Form the Seven Stars Profound Array!" Divine Emissary Wu roared.


    At some point, the seven Divine Emissaries had each taken out a black and silver banner. The moment the banners appeared, a profound Heaven''s Legacy array energy began to surge. This immense energy constructed a starry space that imprisoned Zhao Feng within.


    "So they came prepared?" Zhao Feng softly muttered.


    He had not interacted with the Heaven Defying Faction while he was improving himself, but the Heaven Defying Faction was not made of fools. They knew of Zhao Feng''s potential and that the seven Divine Emissaries would not be enough to deal with Zhao Feng. Thus, the Heaven Defying Faction prepared an array for the Divine Emissaries. Even a top-class God King would find it very hard to escape.


    "Die!" The seven Divine Emissaries used the Seven Star Profound Array to attack Zhao Feng.


    In truth, they actually found this rather difficult to accept. The seven Divine Emissaries were working together, but they still needed to borrow the power of a Heaven''s Legacy array to deal with Zhao Feng.


    However, it was fortunate that they had this array, or else Zhao Feng probably would have killed them all again.


    Kabooom!


    Several silver flashes of starlight appeared in the gloomy space around Zhao Feng, growing stronger and stronger as they hurtled toward Zhao Feng with lightning speed. These stars concentrated the strength of the seven Divine Emissaries and the array, and they were capable of wounding top-class God Kings.


    Zhao Feng dodged, but at the same time, another massive star flew at him from his left.


    "As expected of a Heaven''s Legacy array. If you dodge it once, there''s still a second attack. Even if I dodge it seven times, there might be an even more powerful attack waiting for me!" Zhao Feng would not look down on an array of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    If he continued to dodge, he would only immerse himself deeper and deeper into the array, where he would eventually encounter its ultimate killing move. Immediately shattering the array was the far superior strategy.


    In addition, Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye had been constantly relaying a sense of danger to him. These trifling seven Divine Emissaries posed little threat to Zhao Feng, but one could never be careless when fighting against the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    And since this was the case, there was no need to keep hiding anything. For Zhao Feng, breaking the array was extremely simple.


    Bzzz!


    His left eye surged with Dream Origin, and he gathered his Thought power and focused on an approaching star. "Change course!" He concentrated on a single thought.


    A moment later, the massive silver star moved to the right.


    Boom! Bang!


    The shifted silver star collided with another star, causing a massive storm of Divine Power to spread through the array.


    These stars flew according to the rules of the array. Once an error occurred in their trajectory, the entire array would start having problems. At this moment, the Seven Stars Profound Array fell into disarray.


    "What''s going on? There''s an error in the array''s operation!" Divine Emissary Wu roared. How could such a low-level mistake appear in an array of the Heaven''s Legacy Race?


    The seven Divine Emissaries did their best to repair the array, but at this moment, a voice resounded in their minds; "Detonate the array!"


    The messenger was the Heaven''s Legacy Race''s Right Protector.


    Yes!" Though they didn''t understand the reason, the seven Divine Emissaries still executed the order.


    The array suddenly began to pulse with frightening Divine Power.


    Boom! Bang!


    An immense Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword shrouded in world-shaking power slowly began to protrude from the top of the array.


    The disorderly Seven Stars Profound Array was greatly weakened in all aspects, and by accumulating his power in a single strike, Zhao Feng managed to easily break out.


    "How could this be?" Divine Emissary Wu''s face twisted in fear. He had never imagined that Zhao Feng would be able to easily break through their array.


    The seven of them rapidly retreated.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The array pulsed with energy and then exploded. However, since the Seven Star Profound Array had already been damaged and the seven Divine Emissaries had fled - depriving the array of its power source - the explosion''s strength was greatly reduced.


    Activating Pseudo Ancestral Artifact Heaven Ascendant, Zhao Feng emerged unscathed from the explosion.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng sensed two abnormally powerful energies.


    Hwoooom!


    A vicious wave of icy energy imbued with an Ice Law flew forward, freezing the world around it.


    A black vortex appeared at the edge of the explosion and began to devour its power.


    "Two God Kings!" Zhao Feng''s face immediately chilled.


    These two God Kings were both Samsara Immortal Bodies. One of them was the blue-haired elder Zhao Feng had fought with in the Heaven Defying Faction Divine Kingdom, and the other was God King Swallow Devour.


    Zhao Feng now understood that the sense of danger from his left eye originated from the Right Protector.


    If Zhao Feng was directly confronted with the blue-haired elder and God King Swallow Devour from the beginning, he would have definitely been cautious or even retreated. Thus, the Right Protector had the seven Divine Emissaries act as bait; the Seven Stars Profound Array would hold Zhao Feng down while the two God Kings launched a sneak attack.


    But Zhao Feng''s speed in breaking the array had surpassed the Right Protector''s expectations. If Zhao Feng had looked down on the seven Divine Emissaries, the combined power of the array and the two God Kings might have left him heavily injured.


    In one of the black-gold warships of the Heaven''s Legacy Race, the Right Protector had a savage expression. "That kid seems to have noticed. But still, I''d like to see how you do against two God Kings!"


    "Die!" God King Swallow Devour''s face chilled.


    Zhao Feng had advised him to join the God Eye alliance, but he refused. In the following duel, he conceded in front of Zhao Feng, and in the end, his Sacred Land was taken by the Heaven Lord, with the Heaven Lord killing him and turning him into a Samsara Immortal Body.


    The God King Swallow Devour was burning with hatred. Hatred over the unjustness of his destiny! He focused this hatred on Zhao Feng, wanting Zhao Feng to end up in the same situation. Kabooom!


    After absorbing the explosion''s power, God King Swallow Devour''s attacks were strengthened. On the other side, the blue-haired elder used his Ice Law to lock down Zhao Feng''s movements. Thwish!


    Activating his Spacetime Law and Heaven Ascendant, Zhao Feng turned into an indistinct silver blur.


    The two God Kings were rather troublesome opponents, particularly because they were Samsara Immortal Bodies. But Zhao Feng wouldn''t escape just because of something like that.


    "Primal Chaos Domain!" Zhao Feng unleashed a massive amount of Primal Chaos energy, creating a dark Primal Chaos Domain around himself.


    Within the Primal Chaos Domain, he was strengthened while his enemies were suppressed.


    Thwish!


    Pushing his speed to the limit, Zhao Feng flew at the blue-haired elder.


    "I''ll kill you first!" Zhao Feng''s face chilled as his hand began to pulse with Primal Chaos Divine Power.


    "Haha, kill me?" The elder couldn''t help but laugh.


    First, he was a God King and was not so easily killed.


    Second, he was a Samsara Immortal Body. As he long as he was not swiftly eliminated - destroyed until nothing was left - he could slowly recover.


    Third, he was working together with another God King, and God King Swallow Devour was a top-class God King possessing immense power.


    Then let''s try it out...." Zhao Feng muttered to himself.


    "Absolute Ice Seal!" the blue-haired elder roared.


    A chill instantly surrounded him while a storm of ice and snow gathered in front of him. Freezing ice clashed with chaotic streams of energy.


    Zhao Feng had the perfected Space Law of the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact and his Primal Chaos energy though, so his Primal Chaos Domain had the upper hand.


    "Heaven-Closing Primal Chaos Hand!" Zhao Feng finally unleashed the Primal Chaos energy he had been gathering.


    The dark hand of a God-Devil appeared in the sky, absorbing the energy of the world as it descended.


    The Heaven-Closing Primal Chaos Hand was a high-level combat skill that Zhao Feng had learned. Although it wasn''t as flexible as the Primal Chaos Lightning Sword, its explosive power was far superior.


    Kaboom! Hisss!


    As the palm slammed down, it erupted with Tribulation Lightning energy. This energy surged into the blue-haired elder, devastating his Samsara Immortal Body.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Eye!" At the same time, Zhao Feng launched his powerful eye-bloodline technique from his left eye. A dark Tribulation Lightning sword brand stamped itself onto the blue-haired elder''s head.


    He was still not finished. To kill a Samsara Immortal Body, one had to be swift and thorough.


    Bzzz!


    Zhao Feng activated Heaven Ascendant, creating a formidable Spatial Blade. The Spatial Blade pierced through space and appeared in the elder''s body.


    In the back, God King Swallow Devour was stunned. In terms of speed, he was inferior to Zhao Feng, but he didn''t expect Zhao Feng to instantly unleash such a fierce offensive on the blue-haired elder. Even when he was alive, he would have found this barrage very difficult to block.


    "Don''t even think about it!" God King Swallow Devour bellowed as he activated his Devouring Law. He could not permit Zhao Feng to kill the blue-haired elder.

 1560 Killing One God King After Another

    Chapter 1560 - Killing One God King After Another


    Zhao Feng''s instantaneous offensive rendered the blue-haired elder helpless to fight back.


    God King Swallow Devour was also alarmed. Even when he was still alive, he would have found it very difficult to block this attack.


    "Don''t even think about it!" God King Swallow Devour bellowed as he shot forward.


    "Swallow the Heavens, Devour the Earth!" God King Swallow Devour circulated his Divine Power and used one of his secret arts.


    A massive vortex akin to a giant maw appeared above the blue-haired elder. It began to absorb all the energy in the vicinity.


    God King Swallow Devour knew that Zhao Feng was extremely fast and also possessed Pseudo Ancestral Artifact Heaven Ascendant. Attacking Zhao Feng directly probably wouldn''t have much effect. Thus, he used his secret devouring art to devour the attacks around the blue-haired elder and weaken their power.


    The blue-haired elder was a Samsara Immortal Body, so as long as he was not immediately killed, he could recover. This was exactly what made Samsara Immortal Bodies so absurd.


    Zhao Feng focused his left eye on the elder. This man had to die, as facing two God Kings at once truly was rather difficult.


    After taking the Heaven-Closing Primal Chaos Hand, the Primal Chaos Lightning Eye, and the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact''s Spatial Blade, the blue-haired elder''s body was basically finished. Only a small part was left.


    However, the devouring maw above him was exerting a massive pull on all the attacks in the area. This caused the power of Zhao Feng''s attacks to continuously fall. If this continued, there was no guarantee that Zhao Feng''s continuous attacks could kill the blue-haired elder.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng summoned his Dream Origin energy, and his dazzling left eye began to spew out dreamy mist.


    Those fighting in the surrounding area were instantly entranced by this sight. Those dreamy colors were simply too beautiful.


    God Eye Illusory Oblivion!


    As Zhao Feng concentrated on a single thought, the scene before him changed. The dreamy colors of the world gathered on the remains of the blue-haired elder''s tattered body. Everything else around him turned black and white, leaving him as the sole and dazzling source of color in the world. Booom!


    But suddenly, that dazzling light vanished like a popped bubble, the blue-haired elder vanishing with it.


    Within the black-gold warship, the Right Protector''s Eye of Samsara reacted. A God King Samsara Immortal Body was very difficult to create, but just now, Zhao Feng thoroughly killed his.


    One had to realize that not even a top-class God King could instantly kill an ordinary God King so that nothing was left, but Zhao Feng had done it.


    "Aaah! Zhao Feng...!" God King Swallow Devour''s face went insane as he savagely roared.


    On his first meeting with Zhao Feng, he believed himself to be far stronger, but in the end, he was unable to devour Zhao Feng''s God Eye Origin and was forced to concede. And now, after the passing of a few years, he worked together with another God King, but they still weren''t able to do anything to Zhao Feng. Even more laughable was that the bluehaired elder was killed by Zhao Feng and he wasn''t able to stop it at all.


    "Die!" God King Swallow Devour roared as he waved his palm, firing off wave after wave of dark energy.


    These attacks were made of the energy he had just devoured. Zhao Feng had used this energy in his lethal strike, so these attacks possessed extraordinary power.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng activated Heaven Ascendant and shot away in a silver streak of light.


    "With this war going on, God King Swallow Devour can absorb all the energy in the surroundings, greatly boosting his power," Zhao Feng calmly analyzed.


    Although God King Swallow Devour conceded in front of him before, that was because he could not devour Zhao Feng''s Dream Origin, resulting in his strength being restricted. But on this immense battlefield, God King Swallow Devour could devour as much power as he wanted. This endless stream of energy coupled with his Samsara Immortal Body meant that Zhao Feng would find it very difficult to kill him like he did to the blue-haired elder.


    But there was still a way.


    The Heaven Defying Faction possessed many Samsara Immortal Bodies. This was something the God Eye alliance had known about for some time, and the Sage Faction developed a countermeasure.


    Nearby was a white-robed youth holding a folding fan in one hand and a black array plate in the other. This person was someone Zhao Feng had gotten to know in the Burning Heaven Sea - Tang Bai.


    At this time, Tang Bai was a peak Second Heaven. His strength was not to be underestimated.


    After the Life Sacred Land issued its summons, the God Sealing Sacred Land had rather swiftly answered the call and joined the alliance.


    "Seal!" Tang Bai slapped a hand on the black array plate. White symbols instantly rushed out of the plate, forming white chains that shot forward.


    Nearby, a Samsara Immortal Body was battling with a member of the God Eye alliance. Suddenly, the white chains coiled around him.


    "What... what is this?" The Samsara Immortal Body grimaced and began to struggle, but he found that his strength was greatly limited and continued to weaken.


    "Collect!" Tang Bai activated the array, and the white chains began to retract. The Samsara Immortal Body was pulled into the black array plate.


    "Many thanks!" The man who had been fighting with the Samsara Immortal Body voiced his thanks before charging back into the fray.


    The God Sealing Race were masters of sealing. They could seal the heavens, seal the earth, and seal gods. The fusion of their sealing arts with the Sage Faction''s arrays had produced a powerful sealing technique that was effective against Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    "Brother Zhao?" Tang Bai tilted his head and looked at Zhao Feng. Just now, he received a message from Zhao Feng.


    "God King Swallow Devour...! That isn''t someone I can deal with." Tang Bai glanced at God King Swallow Devour, who was doggedly chasing Zhao Feng, and grimaced, but he still rushed over.


    Several other nearby God Sealing Sacred Land experts also began to converge. Tang Bai alone was naturally not enough to deal with a God King.


    "Get out of my sight!" God King Swallow Devour sensed that something was wrong, and with a roar, a massive wave of black energy spread out from his body. As a top-class God King, he could easily kill these First Heaven and Second Heaven God Lords.


    "Don''t even think about it!" Zhao Feng''s face immediately chilled.


    Although these people were not strong fighters, they had the means of countering Samsara Immortal Bodies.


    "Dreamification!" Zhao Feng''s left eye spun, spewing dreamy mist into his surroundings. A dreamy haze gradually shrouded everything around Zhao Feng, painting it into a dazzling paradise of colors.


    The effects of Dreamification immediately weakened God King Swallow Devour, and Zhao Feng also neutralized his mighty attack.


    "This move again?" God King Swallow Devour grimaced. Zhao Feng had used this move once to force him to concede.


    However, in the current situation, this move was not very effective against him.


    "Swallow!" God King Swallow Devour roared, and several dozen devouring black holes appeared over a radius of several hundred thousand li.


    He could not devour Zhao Feng''s Dream Origin, but he could devour the Divine Power of the other experts on the battlefield.


    "Strike!" Zhao Feng called out, not at all shaken by this move.


    "Extinguish!" Zhao Feng focused his Thought power on God King Swallow Devour''s body. Gradually, the energy in God King Swallow Devour''s body began to disappear.


    At the same time, the God Sealing Sacred Land experts activated their array plates.


    Swishswishswish!


    Several dozen chains formed from white symbols began to coil around God King Swallow Devour. A part of God King Swallow Devour''s strength was immediately sealed.


    "Dregs like you think you can handle me!?" God King Swallow Devour continued to growl and roar.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, God King Swallow Devour erupted with supreme strength. This was the energy he just devoured from the surrounding battlefield.


    A pitch-black tornado of energy appeared around him, snapping the chains that bound his body. Their sealing effect gradually began to fade.


    "Quietly die for me!" Zhao Feng focused, his left eye gleaming with lightning.


    Kacrack!


    A Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning sword brand slammed into the God King''s body. The immense energy within began to tear at his body and soul, causing him to momentarily freeze.


    The God Sealing Sacred Land experts once more acted, the white chains snaking forward and binding God King Swallow Devour.


    "Don''t even think about holding me!" God King Swallow Devour strenuously struggled.


    Pitch-black vortices once more appeared around the battlefield, devouring the surrounding energy.


    "This God King Swallow Devour is too hard to deal with. He can even devour our Sealing energy while also devouring energy from other parts of the battlefield!" Tang Bai had become rather pale.


    In addition, other experts from the Heaven Defying Faction were gathering to come and save God King Swallow Devour.


    "In this region, I am the master!" Zhao Feng''s expression chilled as he activated his Thought power.


    God King Swallow Devour''s devouring range happened to be exactly the range of Zhao Feng''s Dreamification.


    "Extinguish!" As he circulated his Thought power, a profound, unfathomable, and unstoppable energy descended on the region. The black devouring vortices began to fade away.


    "How could this be?" God King Swallow Devour was stunned.


    Weakened by Dreamification and the seals of the God Sealing Race, his strength plunged, which he was able to alleviate by devouring other energy to create an explosive attack that would free him. But now, he could no longer devour anything.


    "Okay!" Delighted, Tang Bai burned his Divine Power and used a secret sealing art as he activated his array plate.


    "Hurry and destroy the seals!" God King Swallow Devour anxiously called out.


    Those people who had come to assist God King Swallow Devour began to move, targeting the members of the God Sealing Sacred Land.


    "I said before, I am the master of this region!" Zhao Feng once more declared in his cold and icy voice.


    Once more activating his Thought power, he had all the enemies in his Dreamification region gradually disappear. They were incapable of resisting this, and they could only die in fear.


    "No...!" A Third Heaven God Lord did his best to resist, but all he managed to do was experience even greater fear.


    Zhao Feng''s God Eye was getting stronger and stronger. Experts of the same level were powerless to resist it.


    In the end, the Third Heaven God Lord scattered into nothingness.


    "Too powerful!"


    "Absurd!"


    The God Sealing Race members were all startled and shocked.


    God King Swallow Devour began to slowly lose the ability to fight back.


    In the region of Dreamification, Zhao Feng''s strength reigned supreme, and there was also the sealing method of the God Sealing Race. God King Swallow Devour could only accept his fate.


    Once God King Swallow Devour was weak enough, Zhao Feng gathered up a large amount of Primal Chaos energy and used the Heaven-Closing Primal Chaos Hand to obliterate him.


    With this, two God Kings had died to Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng activated his left eye and peered into the distance. Over there, the Gods were fighting with the Heaven Lord, causing all of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods to quake!

 1561 Sweeping Away All

    Chapter 1561 - Sweeping Away All


    Up in the sky, the Gods battled with the Heaven Lord, the scene inspiring dread in all who beheld it.


    On the God Eye side were the five God Eyes, the Bright Sun God, the Celestial Sword God, and Sikong Dao, eight Gods in total. The Myriad Forms God Eye and Life God Eye together wdth the genius God Sikong Dao were responsible for defense. The Death, Divine Punishment, and Spacetime God Eyes together with the Bright Sun God and the Celestial Sword God were responsible for offense.


    But in this situation, they still didn''t have much of an advantage.


    "No matter who you are, none of you can stop me." The Heaven Lord''s calm face radiated majesty and tyranny. Hwooooom!


    Around the Heaven Lord, wind, lightning, and fire, all of them infused with Destruction energy, wreaked havoc, making it so that no one dared to approach him.


    After absorbing the Destruction Origin, the Heaven Lord had reached a whole new level of offensive power. Ordinary Gods were incapable of blocking his attacks. Thus, the God Eye alliance had three Gods focused on nothing but defense.


    "Kill!" the Death God roared.


    The three God Eye Deities responsible for offense simultaneously attacked. A pitch-black stream of energy mixed together with Divine Punishment lightning and then was further shrouded by Spacetime energy. The final result shot toward the Heaven Lord.


    At this time, the three God Eye Deities were better able to cooperate, as they could now fuse their attacks together to increase their power.


    On the other side, the Celestial Sword God gripped an ancient sword and lightly waved it. A heaven-shaking white sword beam instantly shot forward.


    The Bright Sun God had already transformed into a massive golden-red crow. He opened his mouth and unleashed a scorching storm of fire.


    "Scram!" the Heaven Lord coldly bellowed, his Ancient God-Devil Body unleashing a terrifying Divine Power that caused space around him to crumble.


    He punched again and again, his fists of energy obliterating everything in their path.


    The fierce battle occurred at lightning-fast speed. In the space of a second, the two sides had already exchanged several dozen blows.


    "What a powerful Ancient God-Devil Body! It''s somehow gotten even stronger!" Zhao Feng was internally quite shocked.


    The Heaven Lord should have only evolved his Heavenly Dao God Eye, but Zhao Feng sensed that the Ancient God- Devil Body had also gotten stronger.


    Even without the Heavenly Dao God Eye, the Heaven Lord could rely on his Ancient God-Devil Body to fight against any single God Eye Deity. If this was indeed the case, the Heaven Lord definitely possessed a complete Ancient Race bloodline, and he was capable of using the full extent of its power!


    Thumpthump! Thumpthump!


    After focusing on the battle of the Gods for some time, Zhao Feng felt his left eye beginning to pulse. The dreamy silver ball was trembling constantly, his Dream Origin quaking.


    "For now, I should just do what I can." Zhao Feng turned away from the God battlefield.


    Although he had the Ninth God Eye, his current level of strength was not enough to intervene in the God battlefield.


    On the contrary, he would just end up creating a gap that the Heaven Lord could exploit.


    In addition, Zhao Feng''s Dream God Eye was apparently very stimulated by the battle between the God Eyes and the Heavenly Dao God Eye, and large amounts of Dream Origin were flowing out of it. Zhao Feng felt like he had an endless stream of Dream Origin energy available to him, and this war was the perfect place to use it all.


    "Kill!" Zhao Feng''s body vanished as he charged forward.


    With the Space Pseudo Ancestral Artifact and his own Spacetime Law, Zhao Feng possessed an unsurpassed advantage in speed.


    Plush!


    He flew through the battlefield, a silver streak of light that left blood and gore in its wake as it swept aside all opposition.


    When he used his full strength, Zhao Feng could kill even top-class God Kings. There was basically nothing on this battlefield that could threaten him. To his enemies, he was a god of death, a forbidden existence.


    "Retreat...!" Cries of panic rang out as the nearby experts tried to run, but Zhao Feng was just too fast. If he wanted to kill someone, there was basically no chance of escape.


    Zhao Feng was an unrestrained beast on the battlefield, ceaselessly massacring all his foes.


    "Oh no!" Divine Emissary Wu trembled in fear. Zhao Feng had noticed him!


    Thwish!


    Divine Emissary Wu''s body erupted with a tyrannical and wicked demonic power, black streams of light revolving around him as he fled.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng went after him, rapidly closing the distance.


    "No...!" Divine Emissary Wu was enraged.


    He had watched Zhao Feng''s battle with the two God Kings. Once the two God Kings were defeated, he did his best to stay far away from Zhao Feng, but they still ended up running into each other.


    Two Samsara Immortal Body God Kings died to Zhao Feng, so what hope did he have? Even running was a pointless endeavor.


    Swooosh!


    Zhao Feng waved a palm, creating several dozen Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords that flew forward and sealed off all of Divine Emissary Wu''s escape routes. Two of the swords pierced through his body, making his body go stiff.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Eye!" A powerful eye-bloodline technique shot out of his left eye.


    Kacrack!


    A twisted lightning sword brand suddenly appeared on Divine Emissary Wu''s head. In a thunderous explosion, Divine Emissary Wu was dead!


    After killing Divine Emissary Wu, Zhao Feng continued to go around the battlefield, specifically targeting the remaining Divine Emissaries.


    Wasn''t it fine to just remain dead? They just had to come back to life so that he could kill them again.


    But Zhao Feng would not be stingy with his sword! The cold and vicious killing intent he exuded caused all the enemies around him to scatter in panic.


    A few moments later, another Divine Emissary was killed. Then a second, a third, a fourth...


    The upper echelon members of the Heaven Defying Faction were watching all this from their black-gold warships.


    "If this kid continues his slaughter, we''ll be finished!" a Heaven''s Legacy Race elder said, his eyes burning with rage.


    To think that he would mature so quickly!" Yu Liuping was stunned. Zhao Feng''s strength had already left a shadow on his heart.


    "We can only send a God King to hold him down for a moment...." The Right Protector gnashed his teeth in helplessness.


    The God Eye alliance had come very prepared, and it had the Sage Faction''s help. Its strength far exceeded the Heaven Defying Faction''s imagination. Despite that, the Heaven Defying Faction still had the advantage.


    But now, Zhao Feng''s massacre was having a rather large effect on the battlefield and was on the verge of turning the tables.


    The Right Protector concluded that there was almost no one on their side capable of killing Zhao Feng. Since that was the case, they could only suppress Zhao Feng so that he could no longer keep massacring their forces.


    Plush!


    Zhao Feng continued to kill his way across the battlefield, his enemies fleeing in disarray.


    At this moment, a bloody roar rang out; "Brat, cease your impudence!"


    A dark red streak of light shot over and turned into a middle-aged man wearing a red robe.


    "The Blood Spirit Sacred Land''s God King Fiendblood."


    The Blood Spirit Sacred Land was one of the Sacred Lands conquered by the Heaven Lord, and God King Fiendblood was now a Samsara Immortal Body.


    "If you want to fight, then fight!" Zhao Feng exploded forward, his body crackling with Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies.


    As he got close to God King Fiendblood, he created several dozen Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords and shot them forward.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    God King Fiendblood began to dance, creating various bloody ripples in the air as he avoided Zhao Feng''s attack while minimizing the damage he received.


    "Die!" Zhao Feng focused, a massive and heavy Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword forming in his hand, which he then swung.


    God King Fiendblood waved a hand, created a blood-colored vortex to block the attack. The Divine Power within this vortex was violent and murderous, possessing immense strength.


    Thwish!


    As Zhao Feng destroyed the vortex, God King Fiendblood backed up, dodging the swing of the sword. "He wants to hold me down?" Zhao Feng understood what was going on.


    Although God King Fiendblood had charged in so valiantly, he was actually there to just hold Zhao Feng down. The killing intent he exuded was innate to his body and was not targeted at Zhao Feng at all.


    "It doesn''t matter if you know." God King Fiendblood bizarrely smiled.


    He was a top-class God King, so if he didn''t fight with Zhao Feng, would Zhao Feng still be able to kill him? He also did not think that Zhao Feng would choose to avoid this battle.


    "You''re too confident, and you''re still underestimating the Ninth God Eye." Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile.


    Dreamy lights began to spin within his left eye as Dream Origin energy poured out.


    "Dreamification!"


    The world around Zhao Feng was covered in a dreamy haze. Everyone in this dreamy region felt an inexplicable feeling of weakness.


    Zhao Feng instantly focused the effects of Dreamification entirely on God King Fiendblood.


    Run!


    God King Fiendblood immediately began to retreat, hoping to escape the range of Dreamification.


    "Spatial Isolation!" Zhao Feng activated Heaven Ascendant.


    As a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, it didn''t just have defensive abilities. Spatial Isolation was one of the other abilities it possessed.


    Swish!


    Space seethed in front God King Fiendblood, transforming into a thick spatial wall that blocked his way.


    "Pseudo Ancestral Artifact!?" God King Fiendblood''s face turned dark as he cursed and changed directions.


    Zhao Feng had already used Spatial Isolation to temporarily stop God King Fiendblood, so he wouldn''t let his prey so easily run away.


    "Primal Chaos Domain!"


    Primal Chaos energy spread outward. A region of dark and twisted energy overlapped with the Dreamification region.


    The effects of the two domains increased the suppression on God King Fiendblood. He possessed rather decent speed and movement techniques, but they were rendered completely ineffective by the dual suppression.


    "Blood Spirit Explosion!" God King Fiendblood''s face hardened as a fiendish and bloody energy erupted from his body.


    Boom! Bang!


    God King Fiendblood turned into a ball of dark red blood and burst apart. That fiendish and bloody energy instantly scattered the Primal Chaos energy, allowing God King Fiendblood to flee the scene as a bloody streak of light.


    "You can''t run!" Zhao Feng''s face chilled as he brought his hands together, the Primal Chaos Domain seething at his command.


    With his Dream God Eye, Zhao Feng had a complete understanding of God King Fiendblood''s movements, and he had already prepared a way to deal with God King Fiendblood''s secret technique.


    God King Fiendblood only needed to hold down Zhao Feng, which involved two things. The first was that Zhao Feng couldn''t kill him, and the second was that he needed to fight with Zhao Feng so that Zhao Feng didn''t kill anyone else.


    Bzzz!


    Using large amounts of Dream Origin energy, Zhao Feng activated his Realization ability. God King Fiendblood''s speed suddenly slowed to a crawl.


    Just a second was enough.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!"


    The energy of the Primal Chaos Domain completely engulfed God King Fiendblood.


    Once the Primal Chaos Lock was formed, it would constantly devour all the energy an enemy possessed.


    After using his secret art, God King Fiendblood was already in a weakened state. Now, not only did he fail to escape, he was captured by Zhao Feng.


    "Extinguish!" Using even more Dream Origin, Zhao Feng activated Dreamification again.


    He had abundant Dream Origin energy at this time, so he could use as much as he wanted.


    God King Fiendblood was incapable of blocking the Dream Origin energy, and his body began to vanish. Not even his Samsara Immortal Body could outpace the devouring of the Primal Chaos Lock and the oblivion of Dreamification.


    God King Fiendblood began to disappear.


    "I didn''t think that I would die again so quickly." God King Fiendblood chuckled.


    It was not his will to attack Zhao Feng. As a Samsara Immortal Body, he could only follow the orders of the Heaven Defying Faction.


    Whoosh!


    A few moments later, God King Fiendblood was gone. Zhao Feng had singlehandedly killed a God King!


    The members of the Heaven Defying Faction were stunned, their minds trembling.


    At this moment, Yu Tianwu suddenly sent Zhao Feng a message; "Zhao Feng, I have a mission for you. Distract the enemy warships, and if you can destroy some of their weapon systems, that would be even better!"


    The two warships of the Heaven Defying Faction possessed immense offensive power and were some of the most lethal weapons on the battlefield.


    "Okay! I was going to do that anyway." Zhao Feng nodded. Thwish!


    Turning into a streak of light and shrouded in Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy, Zhao Feng began to kill his way toward the Heaven Defying Faction warships.


    The upper echelon members of the Heaven Defying Faction could already guess at Zhao Feng''s objective.


    "He''s coming for us!" Yu Liuping began to shiver in fear.


    "Hmph, perfect! If he dares to approach our warships, I''ll make sure he doesn''t go back!" The Left Protector''s dour face twisted in savagery.

 1562 Unstoppable

    Chapter 1562 - Unstoppable


    The Sage Faction''s white warships were not fully equipped, as they were short on time. Thus, the Sage Faction focused on defense.


    But this was not the case for the black-gold warships of the Heaven Defying Faction, whose offensive capabilities were simply unmatched.


    The two warships were equipped with large-scale Destruction weapons. However, the chaos of the current battlefield and the mixing of friend and foe meant that these weapons were not very useful. But the warships were also equipped with numerous small-scale Destruction weapons and offensive arrays, and both were playing a huge role on the battlefield.


    The forces of the God Eye alliance could only defend or dodge the attacks from the Heaven Defying Faction warships.


    In clashes between experts, a slight lack of attention could be fatal, much less the interference of a warship.


    This wasn''t something they could do anything about though. The firepower of the two warships was just too fierce. Normal experts wouldn''t even dare to get close. One God King had tried to get close to warships, but they instantly became the focus of its numerous weapons. A few moments later, they were heavily injured and forced to flee.


    But now, Zhao Feng had reached the rear of the battlefield. Everyone nearby couldn''t help but guess at his motives.


    "I wonder if he can disrupt the enemy warships."


    "I hope so!"


    Many of the members on his side felt a sliver of hope.


    "Impossible! Even a top-class God King will find it hard to get close to those black-gold warships!" The Tongtai Zone''s God King Heaven Dragon shook his head.


    The upper echelon members of the Heaven Defying Faction on the black-gold warships had sensed Zhao Feng''s movements, and all the arrays and weapon systems began to move, apparently preparing to give Zhao Feng a painful blow.


    "Come!" Zhao Feng had a solemn but fearless expression. In fact, he was a little excited, his left eye trembling in seeming excitement as well.


    Zhao Feng had only one goal at present: fight!


    By fighting the strong, he could squeeze even more power out of the Dream God Eye. Ever since the battle started, he could clearly sense his Dream God Eye getting stronger and stronger.


    And Zhao Feng was anxious to get stronger and stronger.


    "Once I can use the full power of the Dream God Eye, I can join the God battlefield!" Zhao Feng said to himself.


    The battlefield he fought on seemed vast and boundless, but the only battlefield that could truly influence the outcome of this battle was the God battlefield, and even though he was the Ninth God Eye, he could not participate in that battle, a fact which Zhao Feng accepted with great reluctance.


    Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng flew toward the Heaven Defying Faction warship in front of him.


    "Fine! Since you''ve delivered yourself to death''s door, this old man will fulfill your wish!" Within the black-gold warship, the Left Protector snarled.


    He and the Right Protector were both Protectors of the Heaven Defying Faction, but they were skilled in different aspects.


    The Left Protector possessed immense strength and could use the Shaman arts and curses of the Ancient Shaman Race. Even God King Radiant Peak could only hold him down.


    The Right Protector was a member of the Heaven''s Legacy Race and didn''t have a powerful combat bloodline. He only had his Eye of Samsara. He remained in the shadows, managing the Heaven Defying Faction and controlling its technology. He could only display the full extent of his abilities in the territory of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    "Attack!" the Right Protector bellowed.


    The other members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race in the warships began to follow the Right Protector''s orders. All the firepower of the two black-gold warships focused on Zhao Feng.


    Quite a few of the experts in the God Eye alliance were instantly scared out of their wits by this sight.


    The Heaven Defying Faction seemed to regard Zhao Feng very highly. This level of firepower was enough to instantly kill any other God King.


    "Dream Dimension Expansion!"


    Dream Origin energy poured out of Zhao Feng''s left eye. Using his Thought power, he quickly constructed a powerful Dream Dimension that he fused into the space around him.


    Within the Dream Dimension, Zhao Feng''s strength was boosted in all aspects.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng created several Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords around himself.


    All those countless attacks would have to pass through the Dream Dimension to reach him. And in this dimension,


    Zhao Feng''s strength surpassed common sense.


    Boom! Plush!


    Zhao Feng used his mind to control the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords, and they flew around and obliterated all the attacks before they got close.


    Zhao Feng was strong enough to kill a top-class God King, and within the Dream Dimension, his strength neared that of a God.


    "Don''t stop!" the Right Protector roared.


    Dream Dao energy was extremely taxing on one''s soul. He was confident that Zhao Feng wouldn''t be able to last for long.


    Thwish ¡­


    The barrage continued.


    Zhao Feng turned the swords into a Primal Chaos Domain, the surging torrents of energy within rising up to constantly fend off the salvos. By the time the first wave of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy was broken, a second would be ready.


    After a few moments, Zhao Feng wasn''t showing any signs of stress, and he was now extremely close to the warships. "Use the medium-scale Destruction weapons!" the Right Protector ordered.


    The large-scale Destruction weapons had the most power, but their area of effect was so great that they would strike the soldiers of their own side.


    "They''re ready! Fire!" the Heaven''s Legacy Race members immediately responded.


    Bzzz!


    Several dozen metal holes appeared on the sides of the two warships, terrifying pulses of Divine Power emerging from within.


    "Is it coming?" Zhao Feng focused, his Primal Chaos Domain roiling around him, ready to take on the attack. Hwooooom!


    White beams of light several dozen feet thick shot out from the warships, the Divine Power within them so pure that it was apparent that they were fired using supreme-quality God Crystals. These white beams of light had also been infused with the Destruction Laws.


    Each beam of light had a strength close to that of an ordinary God King. Under the control of the Heaven Defying Faction¡¯ each beam was timed so that they would strike Zhao Feng simultaneously.


    Without his Dream Dimension, Zhao Feng would have never dared to take this attack directly.


    "Dreamification!" Zhao Feng''s left eye once more sent vast amounts of Dream Origin energy into the surrounding world.


    The Dream Dimension strengthened Zhao Feng while Dreamification weakened the enemy. These two produced a wondrous result when combined. The overlapping of Dreamification and the Dream Dimension Expansion turned the world around Zhao Feng into a dazzling paradise. It was hard to believe that this was the scene from a battlefield.


    "Defend!" After using Dreamification to weaken the Destruction weapon attacks, Zhao Feng focused completely on defense.


    First, he condensed the Primal Chaos Domain into a dark sphere around himself.


    "Spatial energy!" Zhao Feng activated his Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, fusing its perfected Space Law into the Primal Chaos Domain to further strengthen its defenses.


    Finally, Zhao Feng created a Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    This was the strongest defense Zhao Feng could create at present.


    Booom! Bzzzzz!


    Within his layers of defense, Zhao Feng could feel everything shaking.


    With his left eye, he could see what was going on outside. The immense Destruction weapon attack tore through his Dream Dimension. If it wasn''t supported by a vast quantity of Dream Origin energy, it might have already crumbled away.


    Boom! Hissss!


    The defensive layer of the Primal Chaos Domain was slowly worn away, and the attack finally reached the Primal Chaos Lightning Vortex.


    The Heaven Defying Faction''s attack had already been weakened after punching through the first layers of defense, but it was still beginning to break through.


    "Spatial Spirit Cloak!" Zhao Feng used another defensive ability of Heaven Ascendant.


    Translucent silver spatial energy condensed into a barrier of light that engulfed Zhao Feng.


    Within the warship, the Heaven Defying Faction members were all nervous. None of them knew if Zhao Feng could hold out against the attack or not. The spatial barrier around Zhao Feng was slowly being worn away, but their own attack was on the verge of being exhausted.


    In the end, Zhao Feng emerged unscathed.


    "How risky!" Zhao Feng sighed in relief.


    He was able to block this attack primarily because of his seemingly endless amount of Dream Origin energy and the outstanding defensive capabilities of the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.


    "Blocked it?"


    Many experts on the battlefield stared at Zhao Feng like he was a monster. There was no other person on the battlefield who could have blocked such a powerful attack!


    "This brat... is there really nothing I can do to him?" The Right Protector scowled.


    Zhao Feng possessed a God Eye, and the many battles and the stimulation from the other God Eyes only made him stronger and stronger. It probably wouldn''t be long until another God Eye Deity emerged.


    "Hmph, the Heaven Lord will handle him." The Right Protector''s expression suddenly calmed down as he coldly grunted.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly spoke; "I should give you a present in return! Eye of Heaven!"


    Zhao Feng''s Eye Intent coupled with his bloodline energy broke off from his body. A massive dreamy silver eye appeared, exuding an indescribable pressure.


    "God Eye Duplication!" a soul voice cried out.


    A vast cloud of dreamy mist gushed out of the silver eye.


    Suddenly, a white light flashed within the rainbow mist. A white beam of light exploded out of the cloud. Its target was the black-gold warship holding the Right Protector.


    Zhao Feng would have found it very difficult to duplicate such a powerful attack in the past, but he had a nigh endless supply of Dream Origin energy right now. Though it had taken a little longer to duplicate, he succeeded.


    Within the warship:


    "How could this be!?"


    "This is bad!"


    "What do we do?!"


    Everyone trembled in panic at this sight, not knowing what to do.


    None of them had expected for Zhao Feng to use this kind of attack. Their own offensive was being turned against them.


    Although the black-gold warship possessed formidable defenses, it was still in an offensive state and could not shift so quickly.


    Boom! Bang!


    The white beam of light pierced through the heart of the warship. Various areas of the warships immediately exploded in fire and smoke.


    "Wonderful!" The members of the God Eye alliance hadn''t expected this sort of reversal.


    Zhao Feng didn''t just damage a small part of the warship. Rather, he had destroyed its core, essentially crippling the warship.


    Back in the rear, upon one of the white warships, Yu Tianwu showed a sliver of surprise.


    Whoosh!


    Once the Eye of Heaven vanished and his soul returned to his body, Zhao Feng charged toward the damaged black- gold warship.


    Devastating losses had been inflicted on the crew of this warship.


    "Run!" The surviving members could guess that Zhao Feng would not let this chance go, so they immediately began to flee.


    Thwish!


    The Right Protector turned into a black stream of smoke and fled.


    Although the Right Protector was also a top-class God King, battle was not his strong suit, nor would he ever battle with the current Zhao Feng.


    "You can''t escape," Zhao Feng''s cold and indifferent voice rang out. He could ignore the small fry, but he could never let someone as important as the Right Protector go.

 1563 Heavenly Dao Versus Heavenly Dao

    Chapter 1563 - Heavenly Dao Versus Heavenly Dao


    The Right Protector''s mind shivered in fear, as he could see that Zhao Feng had long ago set his sights on him and was ignoring everyone else. Although he was not skilled in battle, he was still a top-class God King of the Heaven''s Legacy Race. However, he also knew that he was no match for Zhao Feng, so he chose to flee.


    Swishswishswish!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, instantly creating several dozen Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Swords that flew forward.


    The Right Protector made no attempt to dodge and simply fled as quickly as possible.


    Boom! Bang!


    Several swords pierced through his body, but the Right Protector had a Samsara Immortal Body, so his wounds quickly healed.


    At the same time, the other warship of the Heaven Defying Faction shifted to a defensive state and moved over to save the Right Protector.


    "Stay here, old turtle!" Zhao Feng coldly roared.


    The insult had the Right Protector infuriated. As the Right Protector of the Heaven Defying Faction, he had never before been so humiliated. However, the Right Protector managed to maintain his rationality and continued to flee.


    But Zhao Feng was much faster than the Right Protector, and there was a tiny moment where the Right Protector had slowed.


    Thwish!


    Zhao Feng rapidly approached the Right Protector.


    "Intrusive Dream!"


    His left eye quickly constructed a Dream Dimension. Zhao Feng''s left eye began to exude a fatal allure that the Right Protector found hard to guard against, and he slowed down.


    "The Intrusive Dream has gotten even stronger!" Zhao Feng was elated.


    The power of the Dream God Eye was getting stronger and stronger, and it didn''t strengthen just Realization and Dreamification, but the Intrusive Dream as well.


    Zhao Feng only planned to disrupt the Right Protector for a few moments, but the power of Intrusive Dream far surpassed his expectations. Unfortunately, it was still not enough to directly draw the Right Protector into the Intrusive Dream.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Eye!" He had his left eye unleash his powerful eye-bloodline technique.


    Kacrack!


    A dark lightning sword brand exploded over the Right Protector''s head, sending vast amounts of energy into his body.


    The Intrusive Dream had left the Right Protector''s mind in a muddled state, allowing the full might of the Primal Chaos Lightning Eye to blast away at his soul and body.


    "Primal Chaos Lock!" Zhao Feng released vast amounts of Primal Chaos energy and brought his hands together.


    The vast sea of Primal Chaos energy circled around the Right Protector, intent on engulfing him.


    At this moment, the Right Protector came back to his senses.


    Swish!


    He threw out several pieces of metal that gleamed with mysterious Heaven''s Legacy words and radiated powerful energy.


    "An array?" Zhao Feng focused his left eye, his Dream Origin energy circulating as he activated his Realization ability.


    One of the metal pieces disappeared. Zhao Feng was capable of easily wiping out a small object like this that did not inherently possess much power.


    "What?" The Right Protector was stunned.


    The metal instruments he just threw out were tools for activating an array, but before they could completely activate, Zhao Feng made one of them vanish with a single glance. The array naturally could not fully activate now.


    "Primal Chaos Lightning Eye!" Zhao Feng fired off another eye-bloodline technique from his left eye.


    At the same time, the Primal Chaos Lock activated.


    "Ah ¡­!"


    By the time the Right Protector had recovered from the Primal Chaos Lightning Eye, he was trapped by the Primal Chaos Lock. His strength was now gradually being devoured.


    Samsara Immortal Bodies were unkillable, but within the Primal Chaos Lock, they were powerless.


    The Primal Chaos Lock was constantly devouring the energy of its prisoner. While the Right Protector could heal any damage done to his body, he could not recover his lost energy.


    "Intrusive Dream!" Zhao Feng once more used this move. The weak Right Protector didn''t last long before he was drawn into the Dream Dimension.


    "Where... where is this?" The Right Protector inspected his surroundings in confusion.


    He was clearly in Zhao Feng''s Primal Chaos Lock a moment ago. Why was he now here?


    At this moment, Zhao Feng appeared before him. However, this Zhao Feng seemed like a majestic and invincible being to the Right Protector.


    Hisssss!


    The area seethed as terrifying energy gathered around the Right Protector.


    "How could this be?" The Right Protector was pressed to the ground and rendered incapable of movement, a fact that left him dumbfounded. In this strange dimension, Zhao Feng was incomparably strong, and he was somehow incapable of fighting back.


    "Talk! Where is the last Space Ancestral Artifact fragment?" Zhao Feng coldly asked as he constantly squeezed the Right Protector''s body with his energy.


    In the previous melee, Zhao Feng was constantly running around the battlefield in the hopes of using the reaction from the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact to find the last Space Ancestral Artifact fragment, but he was left disappointed.


    "Haha, you''ll never find it in this lifetime!" The Right Protector laughed.


    "It seems that you still don''t understand your situation." Zhao Feng''s face turned cold. He stretched out a hand and placed it on the Right Protector''s head.


    The Right Protector knew that Zhao Feng wanted to search his soul, but he suddenly discovered that he couldn''t even self-detonate.


    A few moments later, Zhao Feng found out the answer, and his face turned cold.


    "Hmph!" With a snort, he sent out a supreme energy that exterminated the Right Protector in the Dream Dimension.


    In the outside world:


    Boom! Bang!


    The Right Protector''s exploded, leaving behind no trace. In this situation, not even a Samsara Immortal Body could recover.


    "What''s the situation?" Pseudo Ancestral Artifact Heaven Ascendant couldn''t help but ask. It was only missing one piece before it became a complete Ancestral Artifact. How could it not be anxious?


    "Destroyed!" Zhao Feng lowered his head and said.


    The Heaven Defying Faction was not made of fools. They knew that Zhao Feng would try to repair the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact after obtaining it. Thus, the Heaven Defying Faction had destroyed the Ancestral Artifact fragment in its possession!


    On the God battlefield, the Heaven Lord''s face turned grim upon seeing the situation down below.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The Heaven Lord suddenly erupted with an aura that dominated the heavens, endless streams of golden-silver light painting the skies.


    "This Ancient Race bloodline is basically like the real thing!" The Death God shivered.


    Even if the Heaven Lord did not use the Heavenly Dao God Eye and relied only on the Ancient Race bloodline, the Death God would still be no match.


    "Eat this attack!" A head of gold and silver gradually formed between the Heaven Lord''s hands, radiating an ancient energy that shook the heavens.


    The energy the Heaven Lord had gathered caused the fabric of space itself to tremble.


    The God Eye Deities all turned grave upon seeing this. Not even they were sure if they could take this attack.


    "Let''s use it!" the Divine Punishment God solemnly said.


    In one of the white warships, Liu Qinxin had a rather complicated expression. "Once we use this, not even my Destiny God Eye will be able to predict what will happen!"


    Up until now, Yu Tianwu and Liu Qinxin had been using Destiny energy to secretly influence the battlefield, but once the God Eyes used their trump card, it would be very difficult to predict how the battle would develop.


    "There''s nothing to be done. This is the only way to defeat the Heaven Lord!" The Death God''s pitch-black eyes were extremely grim.


    Their God Eyes had already reached their limits while the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye could still grow. If they did not eliminate him now, when the Heaven Lord next appeared, he would be even stronger.


    "If you all agree, then let''s do it." Liu Qinxin sighed. Only by taking risks could they win.


    "Fury of the Ancients!" the Heaven Lord roared as he pushed his hands forward. The gold and silver head flew forward, opening its mouth and giving its own enraged bellow.


    As the Heavenly Dao God Eye activated, the head erupted with flaming hair. A moment later, the head''s eyes began to crackle with lightning. A layer of thick rock appeared around the head, and the savage maw began to exude Destruction energy.


    "Don''t get too ahead of yourself!" The Divine Punishment God''s eyes flashed with lightning as immense amounts of Origin energy flowed out.


    The other God Eye Deities did the same. They formed spells with their hands, and their God Eye Origin energies began to gather above them, fusing together and creating a turbid cloud of energy.


    The energy unleashed caused the entire Fan Universe to tremble in fright, and even the Heavenly Dao God Eye shivered.


    "God Eye Fusion Art...!" The Heaven Lord''s eyes widened in recognition.


    "Tianwu, it was you!" The Heaven Lord grimaced as he gazed at the white warship in the rear.


    "Correct. I also know this secret art," Yu Tianwu bluntly replied.


    The God Eye Deities were all extremely agitated. They were not sure if gathering their God Eye Origins together would actually summon the supreme Ancestral Eye.


    They had been fusing their Origin energies to attack in this battle precisely to prepare for this secret art. After all, Yu Tianwu only told the Gods about this secret art right before the battle, and they had never tried it out. In addition, Liu Qinxin could not take part in this fusion. After all, her Destiny God Eye had not fully recovered; if she joined in, she might adversely affect the fusion.


    Kaboom!


    An ethereal eye appeared in the turbid cloud of energy. A moment later, the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and the entire Fan Universe shook, with numerous parts of the universe simply exploding into bits.


    "This is the most we can do!" The Divine Punishment God clenched his teeth.


    The five God Eyes only performed this art with great difficulty, and each of them felt an immense pressure. And as this was their first time using the art, the fusion was not very stable.


    Bzzzzz! Boom!


    A gray-white beam of light shot out from that ethereal Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    The gold and silver head was caught in the beam, and the various layers of energy around it were shorn away. In the end, even that Ancient Race energy began to fade away!


    "This is the power of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye!" The Heaven Lord was extremely agitated, his three eyes opened wide as he stared at the ethereal eye.


    Bzzz!


    The eye in the center of his forehead pulsed in excitement.


    "Seize!" the Heaven Lord bellowed, the Heavenly Dao God Eye madly turning. The eye began to exert an indescribable pull.


    These eyes both had the power of the Heavenly Dao, so he could naturally use his eye to absorb the power of the other.


    Fwooosh!


    As this was the first time the five Gods had used his art, they found it difficult to control this power. The Heaven Lord managed to absorb a significant amount of the leaked Heavenly Dao energy.


    A look of extreme pleasure appeared on the Heaven Lord''s face as he sighed.


    One had to realize that he had only become proficient with the Heavenly Dao God Eye over several years of combat. It was naturally difficult for the Gods using the God Eye Fusion Art to control the Heavenly Dao energy of their own Heavenly Dao God Eye. His Heavenly Dao God Eye could use this chance to absorb more energy.


    "Hmph!" The five God Eye Deities realized this, but they were slowly beginning to gain control over this power.


    Of course, the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye was not the only one to be stimulated by this sight. Down below, Zhao Feng''s left eye was pulsing in pain as a vast torrent of Dream Origin energy poured out of his God Eye Dimension.

 1564 Complete Ancestral Artifac

    Chapter 1564 - Complete Ancestral Artifact


    The five God Eye Deities were using the God Eye Fusion Art to create an even more powerful Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    But although it was more powerful, it was also less stable. After all, the five Gods created it through an art while the Heaven Lord had created his eye by actually absorbing the energy, thus making his eye permanent.


    Everyone for a radius of tens of millions of li was awed by this monstrous power. The heavens and earth cracked while the sun and moon were thrown into disarray. The surrounding region had been completely devastated.


    "A power even greater than the Heaven Lord''s?" The Left Protector was shaken.


    On the white warship, Liu Qinxin and Yu Tianwu observed the distant battle.


    "This is part of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye''s power! It should be enough to deal with Yu Tianshu," Yu Tianwu muttered to himself.


    As these two Heavenly Dao God Eyes radiated their power, Liu Qinxin''s Destiny God Eye began to exude immense amounts of Destiny energy, and its aura was growing stronger and stronger. It was obvious that the two Heavenly Dao God Eyes were also stimulating Liu Qinxin''s God Eye.


    But even so, the emergence of two Heavenly Dao God Eyes had thrown the Fan Universe and the course of destiny into complete disarray. Not even the Destiny God Eye could predict what would happen next.


    In the sky:


    "The power of the Heavenly Dao!" The Heaven Lord was ecstatic as his Heavenly Dao God Eye pulsed. The energy created by the five Gods was extremely familiar to him, and he was anxious to obtain it.


    "Swallow!" The Heaven Lord pushed his own Heavenly Dao God Eye to absorb the powerful and unknown energy of this other Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    As this was their first time using this art, the five Gods could not control the energy very well. The Heaven Lord used this unfamiliarity to strengthen himself.


    Bzzzzz! Kaboom!


    Even though the two Heavenly Dao energies had yet to clash, their combined presence had already cast the surrounding world into shadow. In the battlefield down below, everyone trembled in fear before this supreme energy, the lower-ranked experts simply dropping to the ground in subservience.


    "Go!" God King Radiant Peak ordered.


    The battle between the Gods was far too terrifying. If one got too close, they might be instantly slain without even knowing why.


    "Retreat!" On the other side, the Left Protector ordered his own forces to withdraw.


    As both sides withdrew, Zhao Feng was left alone on the chaotic battlefield.


    Zhao Feng stood still, his left eye exploding with dazzling light.


    Bzzz!


    The revolving left eye released a dreamy vortex of light that caused the space around Zhao Feng to scatter and vanish like it was fog.


    At this moment, the energy being released by Zhao Feng''s left eye made even God King Radiant Peak and the Left Protector tremble in fear, not daring to get close.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yufei couldn''t help but call out.


    Both forces had withdrawn, but Zhao Feng appeared to be unaware and continued to stand there.


    "Don''t worry about him! Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye is about to truly appear. When the time comes, he might even be able to participate in the battle of Gods!" A hint of delight could be seen on God King Radiant Peak''s surprised face.


    Far in the distance, the two Heavenly Dao God Eyes were in a standoff, the world around them crumbling into a void. This void was still brimming with dreadful energy that would kill ordinary God Lords that got too close.


    "Divine Punishment, you take control while the rest of us assist you!" the Spacetime God called out.


    The five of them trying to control this power at the same time would only make things messier. It was better to have one person take control while the others supported.


    They could not allow the Heaven Lord to continue devouring the Heavenly Dao energy. They didn''t come here to bolster the Heaven Lord''s power, but to kill him.


    "Okay!" The others agreed.


    After a short period, the five Gods managed to take control of their Heavenly Dao God Eye. The speed at which the Heaven Lord devoured the Heavenly Dao energy immediately slowed.


    "Heaven Lord, you die today!" the Divine Punishment God roared.


    The ethereal eye above them seemed to stare at the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    "The outcome isn''t decided yet!" The Heaven Lord''s face darkened, a hint of madness appearing.


    He had absorbed a significant amount of Heavenly Dao energy, and he could sense that his Heavenly Dao God Eye had gotten even stronger.


    Although the five God Eye Deities had created their Heavenly Dao God Eye, which made him rather afraid, the Heaven Lord was confident that he was far more proficient in using Heavenly Dao energy.


    "Kill!" the Divine Punishment God roared.


    The dark and blurry eye unleashed a soul-shaking energy. The powers of Life, Death, Spacetime, Myriad Forms, and Divine Punishment shot forward.


    "Hmph!" The Heaven Lord snorted and activated his own Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    Boom! Bang!


    A twisted light of destruction shot forward, containing a power that could destroy all laws and principles. The power unleashed by the five God Eye Deities was swiftly shattered.


    This immense power was something the Heaven Lord only discovered after spending some time researching his newly-fused Heavenly Dao God Eye. He was confident that the five God Eye Deities did not understand it.


    As expected, the five God Eye Deities could only have their Heavenly Dao God Eye release powerful attacks to block the Heaven Lord''s strike.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Heavenly Dao God Eye formed by the five God Eye Deities was struck by a mighty strike and swayed. A large amount of Heavenly Dao Origin energy spilled out, causing the spatial fabric of the Fan Universe to tremble.


    "Swallow!" The Heaven Lord had his eye absorb this Heavenly Dao energy.


    "This scoundrel...." The five God Eye Deities scowled.


    Although they had created their own Heavenly Dao energy, their lack of skill with it allowed the Heaven Lord to get the upper hand.


    But while they weren''t as proficient in using the Heavenly Dao God Eye, the five God Eyes seemed to be more efficient. Gradually, the five God Eye Deities became accustomed to the Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    "As expected of the God Eyes, they''re very fast when it comes to learning how to use this power." The Heaven Lord became cautious.


    "Die!" The five God Eye Deities had their Heavenly Dao God Eye unleash a gray-white wave of energy that swept forward.


    "Ancient Divine Fist!" The Heaven Lord activated his Ancient Race energy, and a fist of supreme energy hurtled forward.


    The Heavenly Dao God Eye turned, boosting the energy fist in various ways. The gold and silver fist became cloaked in wind, fire, and lightning, and it began to radiate a Destruction energy that viewed the entire world with contempt.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The two energies clashed, sending a forbidden storm ripping through the world.


    The two sides were battling in the Qingling Zone. The Qingling Zone at this moment was falling apart, and countless low-star factions were wiped out in this calamity.


    The storm of energy continued to sweep out, affecting the entirety of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    Hwooooom!


    The battle of the five Gods versus the Heaven Lord continued. In the distance, among the armies of the Heaven Defying Faction and the God Eye alliance, only the God Kings could vaguely see what was going on. The others could only hide behind defensive barriers.


    Within the white warship:


    "Good! The five God Eye Deities are slowly getting the upper hand!" Liu Qinxin, with her Destiny God Eye, was able to clearly make out the battlefield.


    The Heavenly Dao God Eye formed by the five God Eye Deities was definitely stronger than the Heaven Lord''s. The Heaven Lord only had a minor advantage at the beginning because of his familiarity with Heavenly Dao energy, but this was not important. As the five God Eyes became more proficient with this power, the Heaven Lord began to lose.


    Boom! Bang!


    A chaotic wave of gray-white energy shattered the Heaven Lord''s attack and slammed into his body. The Heaven Lord''s body was almost instantly wiped out, only a tiny portion left.


    "Restore!" The Heaven Lord pushed the power of Samsara Origin to its limits, and his body was rapidly restored.


    "This scoundrel is truly difficult to deal with!" The Divine Punishment God sighed.


    Not even the Heavenly Dao energy formed from five God Eyes could kill the Heaven Lord for now. Although they had the upper hand, the Heaven Lord was far too difficult to kill. Moreover, they could also sense that the Heaven Lord was occasionally taking the chance to absorb their Heavenly Dao energy.


    The Heaven Lord also understood that his opponents'' energy was stronger than his, so he relied on his Ancient God- Devil Body and Samsara Immortal Body to take their attacks and absorb some Heavenly Dao energy. Once he became strong enough, he could turn the tides.


    "If he can devour our Heavenly Dao energy, can we devour his?" The Death God had an idea.


    The Heaven Lord''s greatest advantage was his Heavenly Dao God Eye. If they could absorb its energy, what else would the Heaven Lord have?


    The five Gods gradually began to grasp this skill.


    "Swallow!" The five Gods had the Heavenly Dao God Eye exert a terrifying pull. All other energies in the area shattered. Only the Heavenly Dao energy was collected.


    You old rascals, you''re looking down on me too much!" The Heaven Lord instantly increased his power, his Heavenly Dao God Eye exerting its own powerful pull.


    "This scoundrel was hiding his strength!" The Divine Punishment God was alarmed.


    The Heaven Lord, by absorbing their Heavenly Dao energy, had been making his Heavenly Dao God Eye stronger and stronger, but the Heaven Lord didn''t use the full extent of this new power. Instead, he pretended to be weak, hoping to absorb more Heavenly Dao energy until he had enough to completely turn the tides.


    This realization had the five Gods'' minds in turmoil. This Heaven Lord was truly too crafty. The slightest negligence would have them falling into his trap.


    Kabooom!


    The two Heavenly Dao God Eyes erupted with invincible strength, both of them pulling at each other''s Heavenly Dao energy.


    In this contest of Heavenly Dao energy, the Fan Universe quaked. The zones around the Qingling Zone began to shatter, and it seemed like the end of days had come.


    Zhao Feng was closest to this contest of power.


    As time passed, the stabbing pain in his left eye began to fade, but the God Eye''s evolution was not over. Within the God Eye Dimension, an endless sea of Dream Origin energy seethed.


    This Dream Origin energy surged out of his left eye and turned his surroundings into a dreamy paradise. It was just that the battle of Heavenly Dao God Eyes was so shocking and frightening that no one noticed this phenomenon.


    "Is this the power of the Dream God Eye?" Zhao Feng felt like his mind was invigorated.


    This Dream Origin energy wasn''t just working on his left eye, it was seeping into every part of his body. He felt as if his left eye was exuding a supreme strength - the strength of a God. Everything seemed possible.


    "But Dream energy doesn''t seem to be much good for offense." Zhao Feng began to think.


    Of course, even without a powerful offensive nature, it could still be incredibly useful.


    "I wonder if it can repair Ancestral Artifacts...!" Zhao Feng suddenly had a shocking idea.


    Ancestral Artifacts were born from the Dao of the universe and were completely unique. If a piece was missing, an Ancestral Artifact would never be complete.


    But Zhao Feng didn''t care, and he immediately went to try.


    The power of Realization activated, focusing on the idea. The Dream Origin energy within Zhao Feng''s body began to rapidly vanish.


    Meanwhile, Heaven Ascendant began to shine with a gorgeous light.


    "What''s going on?" Heaven Ascendant was shaken. It sensed an energy that was both extremely powerful and extremely intimate working on its body.


    Amid its shock and confusion, Heaven Ascendant suddenly sensed its power leap to a new level.


    "Ancestral Artifact!?" Heaven Ascendant was stunned and flabbergasted.


    It had returned to being a complete Space Ancestral Artifact!

 1565 Pseudo Ancestral Eye

    Chapter 1565 - Pseudo Ancestral Eye


    As Zhao Feng sensed the power of the perfected Space Law, he knew that he had succeeded.


    "I can''t believe this!" Zhao Feng was internally quite shocked.


    He was just curious to see if it would work, knowing that his God Eye''s power was not great for attacks. He didn''t expect the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact, missing its last piece, would actually be made whole.


    At Zhao Feng''s level, he probably could have succeeded in duplicating an Ancestral Artifact fragment if he had it in hand, but each Ancestral Artifact fragment was different, and Zhao Feng had never even seen the missing piece before. But the power of Realization still worked.


    Moreover, as Zhao Feng''s God Eye was in the middle of evolving, he sensed that this didn''t cost him much.


    "Just what level has my strength reached?" Zhao Feng found himself rather curious.


    He found it impossible to know if he could use the entire strength of the Dream God Eye. If he could, then the Dream God Eye together with the Space Ancestral Artifact would be enough to make him a God.


    But Zhao Feng continued to feel like there was a power in his Dream God Eye that he could not draw out.


    "No rush. I already have a complete Ancestral Artifact, so I''ll first comprehend the Space Law inside it so that I become a God King!" Zhao Feng was in no rush.


    No one noticed Heaven Ascendant turning from a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact to an Ancestral Artifact. Their attention was completely focused on the battle between the Heavenly Dao God Eyes.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes and continued to stand still, but in actuality, he used his Dream God Eye to construct a Dream Dimension. His mind then entered the dream to cultivate.


    With a complete Space Ancestral Artifact, Zhao Feng was extremely confident in his ability to bring his Space Law to the perfected stage.


    And a God King with a God Eye was a God. Once Zhao Feng became a God King, he would become a God Eye Deity!


    In the boundless void, the Heaven Lord was still in a stalemate with the five God Eyes.


    The Heavenly Dao God Eye in the center of the Heaven Lord''s brow was staring at the Heavenly Dao God Eye above the five Gods. The Heavenly Dao energies of these two God Eyes were fiercely clashing and devouring each other.


    Although there was no grandiose clash of energies, the space between the two Heavenly Dao God Eyes was a forbidden zone. Any energy besides Heavenly Dao energy could not exist in this region, and if a God King entered, they would instantly be turned to dust.


    The power of the two Heavenly Dao God Eyes was far above that of Gods. This was precisely why the Bright Sun God, Celestial Sword God, and Sikong Dao had not intervened in this battle of Heavenly Dao God Eyes. There was also another factor; it appeared that the God Eye Deities had the upper hand.


    "If this scoundrel hadn''t been devouring our Heavenly Dao energy and saving it up, he would have already lost!" The Divine Punishment God was rather angry.


    Of course, the Heaven Lord was only able to devour Heavenly Dao energy because they were using the Heavenly Dao God Eye for the first time and weren''t proficient in operating it. Otherwise, if they had used this move from the start, the Heaven Lord would have been finished.


    "Do the five of us really have to be afraid of him?" The Death God coldly snorted. Of the Eight Great God Eyes, he hated the Heaven Lord the most. Samsara and Destruction had both died to this man.


    With this Heavenly Dao God Eye formed from their five energies, they were certain to win.


    "I worry that it''s not that simple!" The Life God was worried. The fact that the Heaven Lord could resist the five of them was the finest proof of this.


    The Heaven Lord continued to hold some sort of secret.


    And now, the Life God suddenly realized that the Heaven Lord''s aura had begun to change.


    "I forgot to tell you - the original body of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye was the Ancient God-Devil Body. It was called the Ancient Ancestral God. Thus, the Ancient Race bloodline and the Heavenly Dao God Eye can boost each other to a certain extent." The Heaven Lord suddenly gave an eerie smile.


    "Is that so?" The God Eye Deities were only a little surprised to hear this.


    In their minds, the holder of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye would be an invincible existence, so it would be quite normal if they also had an Ancient God-Devil Body.


    The Heaven Lord''s words also answered one of their questions, telling them why the Heaven Lord''s Ancient God-Devil Body was now strong enough to defeat a single God Eye on its own.


    But just when all of them thought that the Heaven Lord was just casually boasting, the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye changed.


    The eight differently-colored eyes began to gather around the center, and the Heavenly Dao God Eye began to exude a purer energy, one that reigned as God over the world.


    The God Eye illusions behind the Heaven Lord also changed, turning blurry and faint while the eye in the center became clearer. That gray-white and turbid eye had many blurry inscriptions within it that shifted according to some mysterious rule.


    Upon glancing at this eye, one would feel tiny and insignificant, that cold, emotionless, and intimidating energy making anyone feel tiny and helpless.


    "Haha..." The Heaven Lord began to laugh, his forehead erupting with a supreme Heavenly Dao energy that shook the heavens.


    "What''s going on?" The Divine Punishment God, alarmed, put all his strength into controlling the Heavenly Dao God Eye above him.


    "Why did his eye suddenly get stronger!?"


    "We''re gradually losing ground!"


    The other God Eye Deities were also shocked. The Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao energy was getting stronger and stronger, and he was gradually beginning to devour more and more of their energy.


    On the white warship, Liu Qinxin and Yu Tianwu grimaced and began to panic.


    "The Heavenly Dao God Eye formed by the five God Eye Deities not only strengthened the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye, it also stimulated its evolution and fusion...!" Liu Qinxin''s eyes widened.


    The God Eyes could boost each other''s powers, and the same principle applied to the Heavenly Dao God Eye. Although the Heavenly Dao God Eye of the five Gods was stronger, the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye was more complete and more evolved. The stimulation had furthered its fusion.


    "This eye has already surpassed the domain of God Eyes. It wouldn''t be too excessive to call it a Pseudo Ancestral Eye!" Yu Tianwu appeared calm, but inside, he had already begun to panic.


    He wasn''t the only one. The others spectating the battle, such as God King Radiant Peak, God King Heaven Dragon, and God King Charflame, had turned frantic.


    This battle had attracted the attention of all the top-class experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. This battle was one that would decide the fate of the realm!


    "We can''t lose!" the Divine Punishment God bellowed. As a God Eye, he could not permit himself to lose to someone who had seized the eyes of others and fused them into a Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    But at this moment, it was no longer proper to call the Heaven Lord''s eye a Heavenly Dao God Eye. The eye at the center of his brow was simply too powerful. God Eyes simply couldn¡¯t compare. It was truly better to call it a Pseudo Ancestral Eye.


    "There are five of us! How can we lose?!"


    The other God Eye Deities were also enraged, and they put all their energy and attention onto pushing their God Eyes to their limits.


    "Haha, just submit!" The Heaven Lord found it hard to conceal his joy. The evolution of the Heavenly Dao God Eye had allowed him to reverse the unfavorable situation.


    Kaboom!


    A wave of mysterious and turbid light rippled out from his brow. Wherever it went, it scattered and extinguished all other kinds of energy.


    When it reached the eye above the five Gods, it dealt a massive blow. The five Gods felt their heads buzz like they had been struck by a hammer.


    But the five God Eye Deities were not that easy to deal with. The Heaven Lord was not so powerful that he could directly defeat them.


    Liu Qinxin''s voice rang out in their minds. "We are God Eyes, so we can grasp the power of the Heavenly Dao God Eye faster than the Heaven Lord. Since the Heaven Lord''s God Eye can evolve, so can ours!"


    These words immediately changed the mood of the five God Eye Deities, and their eyes shone with resolve.


    At the same time, Liu Qinxin sent her Destiny Origin energy drifting out of the white warship.


    Liu Qinxin''s Destiny God Eye wasn''t fully awakened before, so she didn''t join in the God Eye Fusion Art, but after the continuous stimulation of the two Heavenly Dao God Eyes, she was now able to use the full power of the Destiny God Eye.


    Bzzz!


    The faint white Destiny Origin energy floated next to the Heavenly Dao God Eye above the five Gods.


    As this was not a direct fusion, Liu Qinxin did not dare to have her Destiny Origin energy mingle with the others. This would possibly lead to the exact opposite effect. But the five Gods could use the Heavenly Dao God Eye to devour her Destiny Origin energy!


    The five Gods understood Liu Qinxin''s intent and began to focus on devouring the Destiny Origin energy.


    "Don''t even think about it!" The Heaven Lord''s face chilled.


    He didn''t think that he would lose to the six God Eyes, but nothing was absolute, and he would not permit any factor that could lead to his defeat.


    Thwish!


    A gray-white light shot out of the Pseudo Ancestral Eye, transcending space to appear from the other side.


    "Scram!" the Divine Punishment God bellowed.


    Their Heavenly Dao God Eye unleashed an energy that could destroy all laws and principles, and it clashed with the gray-white light.


    The Bright Sun God, Celestial Sword God, and Sikong Dao also took action, using their strongest moves to stop the Heaven Lord. Fire, swords, and fists of energy shot forward.


    Hwooooom!


    A thunderous explosion resounded through the heavens.


    Although the Pseudo Ancestral Eye was powerful, the Heavenly Dao God Eye it faced was formed from five God Eye Deities, so it was strong enough to take one or two blows.


    At the same time, the blurry pupil of the Heavenly Dao God Eye focused on the Destiny Origin energy and began to absorb it. The massive Heavenly Dao God Eye began to buzz and hum, the fog around it beginning to radiate strange divine light.


    "It''s getting stronger...." The Heaven Lord''s eyes dimmed.


    Fighting so many God Eye Deities at once truly was not easy. It was difficult for them to defeat him, but also for him to defeat them.


    Bzzzz!


    The blurry eye within the dark fog became clearer, its gray-white pupil beginning to manifest countless tiny inscriptions. It exuded a cold and emotionless aura, one that was impervious to all energy and that forced all others into submission.


    The five God Eye Deities sensed the difference in this energy - that its strength had risen to a new level.


    The Bright Sun God and the other two Gods could only retreat and watch the battle from a distance.


    And while Zhao Feng was still cultivating in his dream, he was also paying attention to the shift in the battle.


    "How terrifying! I wonder if I can actually participate in the battle even after I become a God." Zhao Feng was stunned, but then his lips curved into a smile.


    With his Dream God Eye stronger, his comprehension abilities had also increased. Everything was proceeding smoothly, and he was already infinitesimally close to the perfected stage of his Space Law.

 1566 A Plan to Turn the Tables

    Chapter 1566 - A Plan to Turn the Tables


    "What powerful energy!" As the Divine Punishment God felt the power of their Pseudo Ancestral Eye, he felt he was capable of anything and everything.


    Fortunately, the Divine Punishment God had a frank and upright personality, and he was facing a powerful foe. Otherwise, even someone like him would have been influenced by this power.


    The other four Gods also felt this power.


    "I wonder just how powerful the real Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye is." They couldn''t help but sigh in wonder.


    But right now, eliminating their enemy was the most important thing. The Heaven Lord was far too crafty. Even if they had the upper hand, they couldn''t let their guard down.


    "Kill!" the Divine Punishment God bellowed as he wielded the power of their Pseudo Ancestral Eye.


    Incredible energy emerged from the dark and turbid eye, and the eye itself began to transform, becoming more imposing, mysterious, and unreachable. It was like the god of the world, its very presence inspiring respect and awe.


    Boom! Whoosh!


    The eye became stronger and stronger, and gray-white energy seethed around it. A massive gray-white figure began to take form in the surrounding void, exuding limitless majesty.


    This figure extended a hand, and suddenly, the hand crossed space to descend on the Heaven Lord''s head.


    Kaboom!


    Space collapsed as all energies were obliterated. This hand was the hand of the heavens, each groove on it like a law or rule that could decide all, stripping away the will to resist.


    The God Kings viewing this battle from a distance felt their legs tremble and a desire to get down on their knees.


    "I am the true inheritor of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye!" The Heaven Lord''s face turned vicious, his three eyes gleaming with a fearless and wicked light.


    Boom! Bang!


    A powerful Heavenly Dao energy erupted from the Heaven Lord''s eye. Like lava erupting from a volcano, the energy slammed into the ethereal hand. The two supreme energies clashed.


    Kaboom! Crack!


    The space around the impact crumbled and cracked.


    "Hmph! In the end, your power can''t compare to that of six God Eyes." The Divine Punishment God was calm and dignified as he coldly spoke.


    "It''s still too early to decide anything!" The Heaven Lord revealed an insane smile.


    His body gradually became larger, his Ancient Race bloodline getting stronger and stronger. At the same time, the chaotic Heavenly Dao energy radiating from his eye gradually gathered together into a massive arm.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two hands slammed together with a terrific boom.


    "What? This scoundrel...!" The Death God was startled.


    As God Eyes, they were better able to grasp this higher level of power, but the Heaven Lord also had a powerful learning ability. Perhaps this was due to his Heaven''s Legacy Race blood. He also had a far greater desire and resolve for victory.


    "No one can defeat me!" The power of the Heaven Lord''s central eye was getting stronger and stronger, and his body was getting larger and larger, like that of a God-Devil emerging from the original chaos of creation.


    "Hurry and kill him!"


    The six God Eyes were deeply afraid of the Heaven Lord.


    The Divine Punishment God once more had the Pseudo Ancestral Eye unleash a powerful attack. The gray-white hand became larger and larger as its power increased.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Heavenly Dao energy gathered by the Heaven Lord was obliterated by this massive hand.


    The Heaven Lord shot backward as he punched at the God Eye Deities.


    "Defend!" The Divine Punishment God gathered up Heavenly Dao energy.


    To his right, a gray-white wall formed and divided this part of the world away from the rest.


    Boom! Bang!


    The supreme attack of the Ancient Race bloodline slammed into the wall and fell apart like it was made of tofu.


    "This battle ends here!" The Divine Punishment God stared at the Heaven Lord.


    The five God Eye Deities began to slowly move, unleashing powerful attacks as they approached the Heaven Lord.


    Although the Heaven Lord was getting stronger and stronger, he still found it difficult to overcome six God Eye Deities. Boom! Bang! Crash!


    In an immense explosion, the Heaven Lord flew back tens of thousands of li. His tattered body was quickly restored by the power of the Samsara God.


    "These old rascals...!" His face was rather ghastly pale. The power of six God Eye Deities was just too strong. Even escape would be difficult.


    Suddenly, a strange pulse of energy from far in the distance drew everyone''s attention.


    Boom!


    Zhao Feng''s body exuded the powerful energy of a perfected Law, and his left eye slowly turned, radiating boundless rays of dreamy light. His strength was gradually rising, causing all the God Kings watching from the distance to tremble in shock.


    "Has he become a God King?" God King Radiant Peak was delighted.


    "Wonderful! Brother Feng has the Ninth God Eye. If he can join the battle..." Zhao Yufei was extremely excited.


    The six God Eye Deities and the members of the Sage Faction also glanced at Zhao Feng.


    Originally, someone becoming a God would have shaken the entire realm, and no one would have disregarded such an event. However, the six God Eye Deities and the Heaven Lord had gotten accustomed to the power of their Pseudo Ancestral Eyes. To them, the power of a God was nothing to be surprised about anymore and could even be described as weak.


    It was merely Zhao Feng''s status as a God Eye that earned a little of their attention.


    "Okay!" Zhao Feng suddenly stood up and scanned the six God Eye Deities and the Heaven Lord.


    He had finally become a God King and thus a God Eye Deity.


    Thwish!


    His body flashed as he began to approach the God Eye battlefield.


    The Heavenly Dao energy is so powerful!" As he got closer to the God Eye Deities, Zhao Feng felt the invisible suppression of the Heavenly Dao energy.


    Zhao Feng felt that his perfected Space Law was greatly weakened and that his Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies could not be used to their full extent.


    Zhao Feng was originally planning to join the God battle, but this sensation put a damper on his plans. But as he got closer to the Pseudo Ancestral Eyes, his Dream God Eye became more excited.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng had an idea and covered himself in Dream Origin energy.


    Zhao Feng immediately noticed that his Dream Origin energy canceled out Heavenly Dao energy, and the suppression he felt gradually began to fade.


    The five God Eye Deities were startled by this. For some reason, their hearts thumped in fear.


    "This brat..." The Heaven Lord''s expression turned grim.


    In his mind, Zhao Feng was definitely not in the same group as the Eight Great God Eyes. This was because the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye was formed through the fusion of the Origin energies of the Eight Great God Eyes.


    He just needed to seize the eight Origins to fuse together the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye. The Ninth God Eye was not needed. Thus, after creating the Heavenly Dao God Eye, the Heaven Lord had stopped targeting the Ninth God Eye.


    "There is no Ninth God Eye, so then his eye..."


    The Heaven Lord was sure that there were only Eight Great God Eyes. Though the legends of the Ninth God Eye existed, he believed that the legends were false. But what was Zhao Feng''s eye then? A fake?


    "Zhao Feng, work together with the other three Gods to disrupt the Heaven Lord!" the Divine Punishment God bellowed.


    In his view, Zhao Feng''s participation was not necessary. After all, they had the firm upper hand now. Besides, the power of a God seemed rather weak compared to the power of the Pseudo Ancestral Eye.


    Thus, he decided to have Zhao Feng work together with the other three Gods. Four Gods together would probably be able to have some effect against the current Heaven Lord.


    "Okay!" Zhao Feng joined with the other three Gods and began to disrupt and suppress the Heaven Lord.


    It was too difficult to wound the Heaven Lord, but disrupting his actions was possible.


    Boom! Bang!


    As Zhao Feng''s group began to move, the God Eye Deities began their attack. The terrifying energy they unleashed made the hearts of Zhao Feng and the other three Gods tremble in fear.


    "Spacetime Barrier!"


    "Celestial Moat Sword!"


    Zhao Feng and the others used their strongest skills to disrupt and hinder the Heaven Lord.


    "You...!" The Heaven Lord, his face pale and grim, scanned his surroundings.


    He was on the back foot, and when facing this powerful Pseudo Ancestral Eye, he didn''t even have a hope of running.


    But he still did not give up. In this perilous moment, his mind was whizzing as it tried to find a plan that could turn the tables.


    Suddenly, the Heaven Lord had a flash of insight. A clue suddenly emerged from his memories. He had initially ignored this clue, but now that he thought about it, this was a critical piece of information.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    At this moment, the Heavenly Dao energy formed from the power of six God Eye Deities approached. Unable to contend with it, the Heaven Lord retreated again and again.


    Zhao Feng''s group continued to launch attacks from an extreme distance to disrupt the Heaven Lord.


    "I''ll make a bet!" The Heaven Lord''s face was grim and crazed.


    "Let me expose your true face!" the Heaven Lord bellowed as he charged at Zhao Feng.


    "Oh no!" Zhao Feng paled. The Heaven Lord suddenly staring at him was a suffocating sensation.


    The other three Gods paled and retreated. They knew that the Heaven Lord was powerful, so they had been keeping very far away. In addition, they believed that since the Heaven Lord''s target was the Eight Great God Eyes, he wouldn''t attack them.


    Zhao Feng joined the other three Gods in retreating. With his perfected Space Law, Zhao Feng was instantly able to flee one million li.


    The six God Eye Deities moved to stop the Heaven Lord.


    Boom!


    The ethereal figure hanging above the Pseudo Ancestral Eye swung its arm, and a massive arm instantly placed itself in the Heaven Lord''s way.


    "Break!" the Heaven Lord roared, turning his central eye and unleashing a frenzied power.


    "Not good! He''s burning his Heavenly Dao Origin!" The six Gods were alarmed.


    Although they had pushed the Heaven Lord into desperate straits, the Heaven Lord had never once burned so much of his Heavenly Dao Origin.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The massive arm was instantly blown apart, and a white-robed figure flew through it.


    "Shift!" The Heaven Lord''s central eye focused on a few grains of dust one million li away.


    Suddenly, the Heaven Lord appeared where those grains of dust were while the grains of dust appeared where the Heaven Lord was. The two of them had silently switched places.


    The Heaven Lord was now extremely close to Zhao Feng.


    "Run!" Zhao Feng activated his perfected Space Law and his Ancestral Artifact and turned into a blur.


    "Die!" The Heaven Lord punched with both fists, even using his Heavenly Dao God Eye to bolster the strength of his Ancient Race bloodline attacks.


    Ordinary Gods were helpless against the Heaven Lord in his current state.


    Thumpthump! Thumpthump!


    The power of the Ancient Race bloodline, the Heavenly Dao energy, and the unprecedented danger caused Zhao Feng''s left eye to madly pulse, the stabbing pain almost making him fall unconscious.


    Fwooosh!


    A moment later, Dream Origin energy howled out of his left eye, wrapping around Zhao Feng as if preparing to save him.

 1567 Defeat?

    Chapter 1567 - Defeat?


    In a weakened state, the Heaven Lord had decided to burn his Heavenly Dao Origin to attack Zhao Feng. This was something that the six God Eye Deities had not predicted.


    The intense danger of the Ancient Race bloodline and the Heavenly Dao energy stimulated the Dream God Eye to release a tsunami of Dream Origin. Zhao Feng was instantly engulfed in Dream Origin energy. He appeared like a crystal of dreamy hues, shining with the world''s most gorgeous colors.


    The Heaven Lord stared at Zhao Feng.


    What he remembered a moment ago was an intelligent report he had received on Zhao Feng. In this report, it was noted that Zhao Feng had used the abilities of his eye to neutralize the God Eye Fusion Art of eight God Eye descendants in Heavenly Demon Hall.


    It sounded rather absurd, but if it was true, it could be used to resolve his crisis.


    In addition, the Heaven Lord always felt that Zhao Feng''s God Eye was concealing some sort of incredible secret. His own eye had already evolved to the Pseudo Ancestral Eye level, capable of absorbing even the strongest Heavenly Dao energy. Although he still didn''t know what kind of power it was, perhaps it could also absorb the power of Zhao Feng''s eye.


    At this moment, as Zhao Feng''s left eye erupted with incredible amounts of Dream energy, the Heaven Lord was even more sure that something wasn''t right.


    On the other side, the six God Eye Deities were also focused on this scene.


    They always had their questions about Zhao Feng''s Ninth God Eye. Although they admitted that Zhao Feng was a God Eye, they had never considered him as belonging to the same group as the Eight Great God Eyes. And now that they saw the immense ball of dreamy light around him, they inexplicably felt uneasy.


    "Feng..." Liu Qinxin revealed a nervous expression.


    Right when the battle began, she realized that victory in this battle did not rest on the Eight Great God Eyes, but on Zhao Feng. However, Liu Qinxin wasn''t sure about the exact details.


    Now that the Heaven Lord was attacking Zhao Feng, how could she not be nervous?


    But there was nothing she could do.


    "That shouldn''t be a God Eye...!" The Divine Punishment God was startled.


    The Heaven Lord''s energy fist slammed into the dreamy light.


    Fwooosh!


    The Dream Origin energy became incredibly agitated, like a slow-flowing stream suddenly transforming into a massive wave.


    As the two energies clashed, they actually neutralized each other.


    "How could this be?" The Heaven Lord was shocked.


    An attack from his Ancient God-Devil Body was enough to crush regular Gods, and he had also fused the fist with Heavenly Dao energy, but the energy released by Zhao Feng''s God Eye was actually able to neutralize it?


    Of course, this energy was still too weak to completely neutralize the Heaven Lord''s attack, but this energy was rapidly getting stronger.


    Hwoooom!


    Dream Origin continued to gush out of Zhao Feng''s left eye in an endless torrent. The intense pain from his left eye rendered Zhao Feng nearly unconscious.


    Zhao Feng had previously consumed small amounts of Dream Origin energy, and there was always a process. He naturally found it difficult to endure this vast and uncontrolled release of Dream Origin energy.


    "So much Origin energy!" Zhao Feng was also surprised by the immense amount of energy contained in his left eye.


    His Dream Origin seemed on the verge of being exhausted, but the Heaven Lord''s attack had not been completely neutralized.


    "Am I still going to die?" Zhao Feng was somewhat unwilling to accept this.


    But just when it seemed like his Dream Origin was about to run out, another power, unfathomable and terrifying, charged out of the dreamy silver ball.


    The dreamy silver ball instantly took on a more dazzling hue, the last traces of silver utterly vanishing. The silver ball became a dreamy crystal, and the image of the eye on the crystal shone with an even more dazzling light and a sliver of charm. It was like it was really turning into an eye.


    Boom!


    Pure Dream Origin energy rushed out of Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Before, Zhao Feng''s Dream Origin could be compared to balls of mist, but now, his Dream Origin energy was like viscous sea water.


    The final gleam of silver vanished from his left eye, completely supplanted by dreamy colors.


    As this Dream Origin energy emerged, the distant Heaven Lord felt his Pseudo Ancestral Eye tremble.


    The six God Eye Deities felt their God Eyes pulse. Their God Eye Fusion Art suddenly became extremely unstable; the gray-white ethereal figure in the air instantly became blurry and began to scatter.


    "Just what...?" The Heaven Lord was struck dumb. Zhao Feng not only didn''t die to his attack, his eye actually erupted with another powerful energy.


    He found it rather strange that he failed to kill Zhao Feng despite paying such a great price.


    On the other hand though, his plan achieved its goal, as the God Eye Fusion Art of the six God Eye Deities had become unstable. The Heaven Lord noticed that, while his own Pseudo Ancestral Eye was also affected, the effects were minor.


    "Fury of the Divine!" The Heaven Lord didn''t have the leisure to worry about so many things.


    Regardless of what was going on with Zhao Feng''s eye, he couldn''t let this chance go. The Heaven Lord immediately activated his Pseudo Ancestral Eye and attacked the six God Eye Deities!


    Fwooosh!


    The Pseudo Ancestral Eye released waves of turbid gray-white energy that soared into the air and took the form of a massive ethereal head. The head opened its mouth, unleashing a roar at the six God Eye Deities. This roar made all beings tremble in fear and exuded boundless divine might.


    The God Eye Deities were already caught off guard by the disorder in their God Eye Fusion Art, and the Heaven Lord chose this exact moment to attack!


    "Oh no!"


    "Too fast!"


    Fear and panic appeared on their faces. The Heaven Lord apparently knew what was going to happen ahead of time and attacked as soon as a problem appeared in the God Eye Fusion Art.


    The six God Eye Deities could only forcefully have their Pseudo Ancestral Eye use its power to block this attack.


    Boom! Bang!


    A gray-white wave of energy erupted from the Pseudo Ancestral Eye, colliding with the roar. However, the wave of energy instantly shattered, allowing the roar to strike the eye itself.


    "Hold!" The Divine Punishment God clenched his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging.


    The other God Eyes also focused.


    Suddenly:


    Boom!


    The massive Pseudo Ancestral Eye trembled and then fell apart. The God Eye Fusion Art was undone!


    The six Gods simultaneously vomited blood, their bodies staggering and their faces turning ghastly pale. Had they actually lost?


    "Haha!" The Heaven Lord loudly laughed.


    Nothing was more exciting than turning the tables while in desperate straits!


    The Heaven Lord was ecstatic to see the six God Eyes suffering the backlash of their technique.


    Boom!


    He immediately punched. The gold and silver fist, bolstered by the Pseudo Ancestral Eye, multiplied in power, gaining an unstoppable strength.


    Without the Pseudo Ancestral Eye, the six God Eyes would not be able to stop it.


    "Retreat!" the Divine Punishment God roared.


    Their only options were to dodge and run from this attack.


    The warship carrying Liu Qinxin immediately began to move away.


    Swishswishswish!


    The other five God Eye Deities as well as the Bright Sun God, Celestial Sword God, and Sikong Dao also began to retreat.


    "Stop!" The Heaven Lord activated his Pseudo Ancestral Eye.


    A peerless strength that permitted no resistance descended upon the world. Everyone for a radius of tens of millions of li was suppressed by this energy and stopped for a moment.


    This moment put those five God Eyes who should have been able to escape in grave peril. The Life God and Myriad Forms God were in range of the Heaven Lord''s fist and no longer had time to escape! Although the Life God and Myriad Forms God were skilled in defense and had tenacious vitalities, not even they could block this attack!


    "Seal of Life...!" In this perilous moment, the Life God''s eyes began to burn with dazzling green flames. Vast amounts of Life energy gushed out of her body.


    Boom!


    This supreme energy pushed the Myriad Forms God, who was at the edge of the Heaven Lord''s attack range, several li away. At the same time, the Myriad Forms God was also able to absorb the Life God''s burning Life Origin, allowing him to explode with power.


    "Life!" Once the Myriad Forms God had escaped the attack range of the Heaven Lord''s fist, he couldn''t help but turn back and call out.


    But before he could even turn his head...


    Boom!


    That unstoppable energy fist howled over, engulfing the Life God and obliterating everything.


    The other God Eye Deities couldn''t help but be aggrieved by this sight. Just now, the Life God and Myriad Forms God were both in grave danger, so the Life God used her power to save Myriad Forms.


    The remaining God Eyes sensed a mysterious seal on their bodies. It was shaped like a leaf and was brimming with Life energy that instantly healed all their wounds.


    "Before dying, the Life God used all her Life Origin to use this secret art...." The Divine Punishment God shook his head.


    In this way, even though she was dead, the Heaven Lord would receive very little Life Origin. He would need time to recover it rather than instantly becoming stronger.


    The Life God was dead, but before she died, she did everything that she could do.


    "We''ve already lost...." The Death God''s body trembled.


    Even though the Life God had done her best, they still lost.


    Although they could once more use the God Eye Fusion Art, it would not be as strong as the one from before. In addition, the Heaven Lord, after devouring another God Eye Origin, was certain to be even stronger.


    On the other end:


    "Hahaha... Hahaha...!" The Heaven Lord was madly laughing as the Pseudo Ancestral Eye on the center of his forehead received the power of the Life God from the Fan Universe.


    The matter was settled. The God Eyes were now powerless.


    But as he received the Life God''s power, the Heaven Lord suddenly remembered something, and his face went stiff. Within the white warship, Liu Qinxin and Yu Tianwu stared at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng''s body was engulfed in a dreamy sea, his entire body shining with dazzling colors. The silver luster of his hair had retreated, leaving thin dreamy threads that fused with the sea of energy around him.


    His left eye slowly turned, radiating with dreamy light as its energy became stronger and stronger.


    The energy had surpassed a God Eye. This energy was actually close to a Pseudo Ancestral Eye....

 1568 A New Pseudo Ancestral Eye

    Chapter 1568 - A New Pseudo Ancestral Eye


    The Heaven Lord had killed the Life God and received her power from the Fan Universe, but he was not the main focus at this time.


    On the other end of this dark world, an indescribable dreamy light coupled with an astonishing Origin energy that instilled fear in all was gradually spreading, attracting everyone''s attention. This terrifying energy instantly exceeded the God Eye level and was now infinitesimally close to the Pseudo Ancestral Eye level.


    "How could this be? Such a powerful energy!" The Divine Punishment God was stunned.


    At this moment, his Divine Punishment God Eye felt a deep fear. Only the Pseudo Ancestral Eye of the Heaven Lord had ever inspired this kind of fear, but now, it had a comrade.


    "Is this possible? Is his eye not a God Eye?" The Death God shivered.


    God Eyes were the absolute limit. Without special methods, their power could not be further increased. However,


    Zhao Feng''s Dream God Eye had broken through the limit and evolved on its own, pushing toward a higher level. All of the God Eye Deities inexplicably felt afraid when they looked at Zhao Feng''s left eye.


    Within the white warship, as Yu Tianwu and Liu Qinxin witnessed Zhao Feng''s evolution, their expression constantly shifted.


    "His eye isn''t a God Eye?" Yu Tianwu muttered to himself. This was the only possibility at this time.


    "Although I''m not sure of the exact details, the situation is still salvageable...!" Liu Qinxin''s Destiny God Eye was also inexplicably shivering in fear.


    Before the war, she had already divined that Zhao Feng was the key to this war. Now, she could only depend on Zhao Feng.


    Far in the distance, the top-class experts of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods despaired when the Life God died, believing that everything was over, but Zhao Feng''s evolution had reignited the hope in their hearts. That dazzling light was a source of warmth in this cold and monotonously dark world, enchanting and alluring.


    The Heaven Lord, who was still absorbing the Life God''s power, showed a grim expression in all three of his eyes.


    "This kid''s eye..." His face turned solemn and sinister.


    He could clearly sense that Zhao Feng''s eye was rapidly approaching the Pseudo Ancestral Eye level. This fact was in defiance of the rules governing God Eyes.


    In addition, for some reason, the Heaven Lord''s Pseudo Ancestral Eye suddenly became agitated, the Heavenly Dao Origin within becoming frantic and berserk. It seemed to have an intense hatred toward Zhao Feng''s eye!


    The Heaven Lord''s mood was influenced by this, and his hatred for Zhao Feng soared.


    "Die!" The Heaven Lord''s three eyes glared at Zhao Feng and exploded with killing intent.


    Boom!


    His Pseudo Ancestral Eye pulsed with frightening energy, and then a gray-white beam of light shot forward, callously annihilating everything in its path.


    "Zhao Feng, watch out!" the Divine Punishment God roared.


    Even when the God Eyes worked together, they could not block an attack from the Pseudo Ancestral Eye, not unless they used the God Eye Fusion Art. The Heavenly Dao Pseudo Ancestral Eye was just too powerful. It could suppress all energies in the world. Other than perfected Laws, no Law energy could exist in front of Heavenly Dao energy.


    "Oh no!" Zhao Feng sensed that something was wrong, but he was currently unable to use the energy in his body and could not dodge.


    Get... get back! This was the only thought in his mind.


    If he couldn''t dodge this attack, he was dead. Nothing else was more important. However, the Dream God Eye was making it so that Zhao Feng could only use a portion of his power, and this power was practically useless under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.


    That gray-white beam, cold and callous, shot toward him.


    Whoosh!


    The beam of divine energy swept past. Strangely, it didn''t strike Zhao Feng.


    "Eh?" Zhao Feng gasped in surprise.


    Just now, his body had suddenly retreated several thousand li, allowing him to avoid the Heaven Lord''s attack.


    But he didn''t use Instant Movement just now. Under the suppression of the Pseudo Ancestral Eye, even someone with a perfected Space Law would find it difficult to use a technique like Instant Movement.


    At this moment, feeling finally returned to Zhao Feng''s left eye. Earlier, he wasn''t even able to sense his left eye''s existence. The sea of Dream Origin began to return back to his left eye.


    "Was it the Dream God Eye?" Zhao Feng sensed what was going on.


    He might have used Realization just now. This was the only thing that could explain his suddenly being transported to another place.


    And Zhao Feng was also beginning to more clearly sense his left eye and use its power.


    "Not dead?" The Heaven Lord frowned.


    Not even the power formed from the fusion of six God Eyes would have been able to so easily avoid the attack from his Pseudo Ancestral Eye.


    "If I want you to die, you''ll die!" the Heaven Lord suddenly roared.


    Boom!


    His Heavenly Dao Pseudo Ancestral Eye unleashed a fierce wave of gray-white energy. The area affected by the Heaven Lord''s attack this time was even larger, its suppression of other Laws even more intense. Even perfected Laws would be unable to exhibit much power!


    "Go!" Grimacing, Zhao Feng activated the Dream God Eye.


    Bzzz!


    His body was covered in a dreamy haze and slowly vanished out of existence.


    Of course, this process was actually very short.


    Whoosh!


    One hundred thousand li away, Zhao Feng''s body suddenly appeared, placing him out of range of the Heaven Lord''s attack.


    "What power is this? It''s not suppressed by my Heavenly Dao energy?" The Heaven Lord was alarmed, and then his face darkened. Heavenly Dao energy could suppress any energy in the world, so why could it not suppress Zhao Feng''s power?


    The God Eye Deities were also flabbergasted by this sight. Before the evolution of the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye, they would still have been able to fight back, but after its evolution, they could only fight back using the God Eye Fusion Art. But Zhao Feng was singlehandedly able to deal with the Heaven Lord''s attacks.


    "Seeking death!" The Heaven Lord''s brows locked together in anger.


    He had finished absorbing the Life God''s power. There wasn''t much, but it was rapidly recovering.


    Swish!


    The Heaven Lord flew toward Zhao Feng. This time, the Heaven Lord was going to personally deal with Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, watch out...!" the Divine Punishment God couldn''t help but call out, and the God Eye Deities were on the verge of rushing forward.


    "Die!" The Heaven Lord punched with his right fist, sending a beam of gold and silver energy blasting through the world.


    "Go!" Activating his Dream God Eye, Zhao Feng activated his Realization ability and locked onto a certain point.


    Swish!


    His body was covered in a dreamy membrane of light and vanished, upon which he appeared in the place he had been focusing on.


    "It''s not Instant Movement." Now that he was closer to Zhao Feng, the Heaven Lord was sure that Zhao Feng''s movement technique had no connection to the Space Laws.


    But how could one suddenly move from one place to another without using the Space Laws? Of course, this was excluding Heavenly Dao energy.


    You can''t run!" The Heaven Lord activated his Pseudo Ancestral Eye.


    Swish!


    The Heaven Lord''s body darkened, and then it vanished. A moment later, the Heaven Lord appeared next to Zhao Feng. "Go!" Shocked, Zhao Feng once more fled.


    But the Heaven Lord doggedly pursued Zhao Feng, giving him no time to rest.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Two figures blinked back and forth across the void.


    This ability to go wherever one wished without using the Space Laws was truly absurd. If an assassin had this kind of ability, they would be able to carry out almost any mission without failure.


    "So strong!" Zhao Feng did not dare to let down his guard as he fled. This ability was the only thing that was keeping him alive.


    And for some reason, the Heaven Lord''s hatred toward Zhao Feng was only growing. It was like the two had innumerable quarrels between each other, an irreconcilable feud. The five God Eyes had been completely forgotten.


    Of course, the Heaven Lord was so strong now that he could easily kill the five God Eyes if he wanted, but he wanted to kill Zhao Feng even more.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    However, the Heaven Lord could not stop Zhao Feng''s movement ability, nor could he predict where Zhao Feng would appear.


    "Heaven Falls, Earth Rends!" the Heaven Lord roared, his central eye erupting with a power that reigned as god over the world that soared into the void.


    Brrrooom!


    The surrounding void for millions of li began to shudder, the shaking only intensifying as time went on. A moment later, boundless Destructive energy erupted through the region, filling every inch of the world. It seemed like the world itself was being annihilated.


    Fortunately, everyone else had kept their distance from the pair, or else their chances of survival would have been slim. "I''d like to see where you can run!" the Heaven Lord growled as he chased after Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng had nowhere to run now. Wherever he went, he would run into a terrifying energy that could easily kill a God.


    Zhao Feng truly did sense an intense danger. The Destruction energy permeated the world and he was being pursued by the Heaven Lord. A moment later, Zhao Feng would be dead.


    "Dream Dimension Expansion!" Zhao Feng activated his Dream God Eye, creating a Dream Dimension and expanding it around himself.


    Bzzzz!


    A dreamy landscape appeared around Zhao Feng, overlapping with the world.


    Within his Dream Dimension, Zhao Feng was strengthened to a certain extent. And his Dream God Eye was given the final push into the Pseudo Ancestral Eye level.


    Disappear...!


    Zhao Feng activated his Thought power and swept it over all the Destructive energy within his Dream Dimension. A moment later, the raging storm of energy began to weaken and calm down.


    "What?" The Heaven Lord was stunned. Zhao Feng had the ability to render his technique ineffective?


    "Take my sword!" Zhao Feng''s face went cold as he gathered his Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies into a sword.


    He was not one to just stand around and be beaten down. Moreover, as Zhao Feng gradually gained back control of the Dream God Eye, he began to develop an understanding of its true power.


    He wasn''t able to fully control the Dream God Eye before not because he lacked the ability, but because the Dream God Eye was far from reaching its limits! Now, Zhao Feng was confident that he could use the higher power of the Dream God Eye.


    Stronger... stronger... Zhao Feng focused his Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye on the Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword.


    Bzzz!


    A dreamy membrane of light appeared on the sword, and a moment later, the sword began to swell in size, the strength of its Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies multiplying. Soon, a sword that was like a pillar holding up the heavens was descending.


    Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies were far inferior to Heavenly Dao energy, but the amount of energy contained in this Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning Sword was far more immense than one could imagine.


    When strength reached the apex and surpassed common sense, it could break through all shackles!


    Boom! Bang!


    The entire world trembled as Primal Chaos and Tribulation Lightning energies swept through it.

 1569 Dream Versus Heavenly Dao

    Chapter 1569 - Dream Versus Heavenly Dao


    A vast sea of Primal Chaos Tribulation Lightning energy seethed and churned.


    Countless experts in the far distance needed to circulate their Divine Power and put all their focus into resisting this sea of energy. Quite a few Third Heavens, and even some God Kings, needed to retreat.


    "Let''s withdraw for now!" the Divine Punishment God called out.


    Whether it was the Heaven Lord or Zhao Feng, they were both getting stronger and stronger, seemingly without limit.


    They were initially thinking about joining with Zhao Feng to fight the Heaven Lord, but it now seemed better to withdraw. They were still the Heaven Lord''s targets, so it was best to make some distance.


    They would not have Zhao Feng handle everything though. The backlash they had suffered from the undoing of the God Eye Fusion Art would probably heal quickly since the Life God used the Seal of Life. When the time came, they might be able to use the God Eye Fusion Art again.


    Boom!


    At this moment, a formidable Heavenly Dao energy surged out from the center of the energy sea. The gray-white torrent of energy began to form into a massive human in the air, a person so vast that they seemed to occupy the entire sky.


    The Heaven Lord was planning to use his true strength.


    "Zhao Feng, no matter what category your eye belongs to, all must bow before the Heavenly Dao Pseudo Ancestral Eye!" The Heaven Lord''s face seethed with anger, his killing intent almost tangible.


    "Then let''s try it out!" Zhao Feng''s face was calm and solemn.


    In the past, he would have never dared to directly fight the Heaven Lord, but as his Dream God Eye got stronger and stronger, he was able to extract an even deeper layer of power. He no longer feared the Heaven Lord.


    Moreover, now that the Dream God Eye had evolved into a Pseudo Ancestral Eye, several images began to form in Zhao Feng''s mind. Though they were still blurry and indistinct, Zhao Feng sensed that he needed to stop the Heaven Lord. This was his duty.


    Boom!


    Torrents of Dream energy surged out of the Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye, circling around Zhao Feng and creating a Dream Domain.


    "Die!" the Heaven Lord savagely roared.


    The massive gray-white phantom waved a hand. A gray-white hand of unimaginable size appeared above Zhao Feng''s head. Cold and emotionless, it exuded a pressure that could crush everything to bits. This palm covered a vast area and possessed incomparable might.


    Weaken... weaken... Zhao Feng activated his Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye and used his Realization ability.


    Bzzz!


    Dreamy fog appeared on the surface of the giant hand, and then the energy contained in the hand began to gradually weaken.


    "The effect is this lacking?"


    Zhao Feng''s Realization ability could alter everything, but when targeting Heavenly Dao energy, it had a very muted effect that came at an immense price.


    Zhao Feng had no idea that, on the other side, the Heaven Lord''s mind was reeling. This was the power of the Heavenly Dao - the energy that reigned over all other energies and governed all beings, established all Laws. For it to be affected by Zhao Feng''s Pseudo Ancestral Eye was simply inconceivable.


    Could it be that his eye is related to the Ancestral Eye? the Heaven Lord wondered.


    This was not the first time he had this idea, but he had immediately rejected it earlier. Now, however, the Heaven Lord was extremely confident in this theory.


    But regardless, as long as he killed Zhao Feng, everything would be resolved. Perhaps he could even obtain the power of Zhao Feng''s eye.


    Boom!


    The Heaven Lord boosted the power of the hand and had it crush downward.


    Under the supreme Heavenly Dao energy, any other energy would be turned to dust, but Zhao Feng''s Dream Origin continued to surge back and forth, resisting the pressure.


    Illusory Oblivion...! Zhao Feng''s left eye paused and then began to turn again.


    The gray-white hand was rapidly enclosed within a dreamy membrane. A moment later, the hand became somewhat transparent. It was obvious that it had been significantly weakened.


    "Heaven-Closing Primal Chaos Hand!" Zhao Feng used his powerful Primal Chaos combat skill, and within his Dream Dimension, this skill possessed incredible strength.


    Stronger... Dream Origin energy poured out as Zhao Feng focused his Thought power.


    That dark hand crackling with lightning multiplied in both power and size. Although it was still not comparable to the gray-white hand, it could not be underestimated.


    Boom! Bang!


    The two enormous hands collided, their impact creating a destructive storm.


    "God Eye Duplication!" Zhao Feng called out, his left eye turning.


    Boom!


    Dreamy lights gathered above Zhao Feng''s body, turning into an enormous dream-hued eye. This manifestation was extremely similar to the Heaven Lord''s gray-white phantom.


    Suddenly, the dream eye began to spew out countless torrents of dreamy energy, and amid this chaotic storm, a gray- white hand appeared.


    "No... even Heavenly Dao energy can be duplicated?" The Heaven Lord was struck dumb.


    He knew a little about Zhao Feng''s duplication ability, but he never would''ve imagined that Zhao Feng could duplicate Heavenly Dao energy. This was simply impossible!


    Boom!


    The gray-white phantom above the Heaven Lord thrust out a palm.


    The two identical palms collided in the void, but a few moments later, Zhao Feng''s duplicate shattered with a bang.


    "I can''t completely duplicate Heavenly Dao energy?" Zhao Feng muttered.


    In the end, Heavenly Dao energy was too unique, and he could not completely duplicate it.


    Far in the distance, within the white warship, while Liu Qinxin did not have a very high cultivation, her Destiny God Eye allowed her to see everything that was going on.


    "Feng''s Dream energy can resist Heavenly Dao energy...." Liu Qinxin analyzed.


    As the Destiny God Eye, she was extremely interested in anything that she knew nothing about.


    Although Zhao Feng''s Dream energy could not completely suppress Heavenly Dao energy and vice versa, Liu Qinxin sensed that Zhao Feng''s Dream energy was slightly superior. At least, Dream energy weakly countered Heavenly Dao energy. For example, while it could weaken or copy Heavenly Dao energy, Heavenly Dao energy could do nothing to limit Dream energy.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The battle between the Heaven Lord and Zhao Feng once more erupted, even fiercer than before. The clash of supreme energies produced one shockwave after another, sweeping through the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and beyond.


    "Anything and everything are suppressed by the Heavenly Dao!" The Heaven Lord fumed. He could never accept anyone having the strength to singlehandedly defy him.


    "Pillar of the Heavenly Dao!" the Heaven Lord bellowed.


    The massive phantom brought its hands together and began to form a spell.


    Boom!


    Eight gray-white pillars manifested in the void, covered in strange inscriptions and suffused with a cold and emotionless luster. The pillars hurtled down, suppressing everything under the power of the Heavenly Dao.


    To be caught between the eight pillars was to be thrown into an eternal prison, and the eight pillars were constricting.


    "What a powerful restriction!" Zhao Feng''s eyes dimmed. He could sense that his Primal Chaos energy and Tribulation Lightning energy had lost seventy to eighty percent of their strength.


    But this didn''t mean that he was powerless.


    God Eye... Duplication... Zhao Feng once more activated his Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye.


    A layer of dreamy haze appeared around the massive eye above him, and within the eye, dreamy streams of light seemed to be building up power.


    Ordinary moves would be no good here.


    Zhao Feng''s Dream Origin was rapidly consumed. At the same time, an endless flood of energy flooded out of his left eye, which was getting stronger and stronger.


    Boom!


    Suddenly, the massive eye flew upward, a massive dream-colored manifestation slowly forming. This dream manifestation was so similar to the gray-white giant manifested by the Heaven Lord that they seemed to be of the same kind.


    A dreamy vortex suddenly appeared within the dream giant, and eight gray-white hands shot forward!


    Boom! Bang!


    The eight hands flew off in separate directions and collided with the descending pillars.


    "...this is impossible!" The Heaven Lord trembled.


    The dream phantom created by Zhao Feng''s eye was incredibly similar to his own gray-white phantom.


    The Heaven Lord was keenly aware that the gray-white figure was a manifestation of the owner of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye - the Ancient Ancestral God!


    "Could his eye be an Ancestral Eye?" The Heaven Lord''s eyes went wide in disbelief. There was another Ancestral Eye in this world besides the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye?


    Power... increase... Zhao Feng continued to use the power of his Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye.


    The eight giant hands were covered in a dreamy membrane, and then a mysterious power made them grow stronger and stronger.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng could not only hold off the Heaven Lord''s attack, he could even push back!


    "Not good! His eye is getting stronger and stronger, and it''s getting stronger so quickly...." The Heaven Lord suddenly realized something.


    At the start of the battle, Zhao Feng''s eye wasn''t at the Pseudo Ancestral Eye level, but as he used more and more of its power, it reached the Pseudo Ancestral Eye level and then manifested that massive dreamy giant. This strengthening speed was far too fast!


    "No good! I need to get stronger!" His face dark, the Heaven Lord looked to his right.


    "Danger!" The Divine Punishment God and the others suddenly felt a soul-chilling danger.


    "Retreat!" The Death God immediately fled.


    "You''re all mine!" the Heaven Lord angrily roared as he shot forward, instantly covering millions of li as he charged at the five God Eyes.


    "Die!" The Heaven Lord''s gaze was cold and emotionless. It was like killing a few God Eye Deities was a mere trifle for him.


    Zhao Feng also noticed the Heaven Lord''s goal.


    The Heaven Lord could kill the Eight Great God Eyes and obtain their Origins to get stronger and stronger. If the Heaven Lord was allowed to kill the remaining God Eye Deities, his strength would explode to such a terrifying level that his Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye might no longer be a match.


    "Get back here!" Zhao Feng focused his left eye on the Heaven Lord, his Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye madly revolving. Shockingly, the Heaven Lord really was forced backward several li.


    Whoosh!


    The Heaven Lord was pushed back another several li, and then even more. In the blink of an eye, he was dragged away from the five Gods.


    You...!" The Heaven Lord''s chest burned with rage.


    His own body was inexplicably going backward. He was left speechless and could only watch as his prey fled.

 1570 The Battle of the End

    Chapter 1570 - The Battle of the End


    Zhao Feng''s left eye was simply growing too quickly. At the start, the Heaven Lord had the absolute upper hand while Zhao Feng had to use all his strength to barely keep himself alive. But now, Zhao Feng could directly resist the Heaven Lord and even counterattack.


    "Scram!" the Heaven Lord roared as he used the abilities of his eye. He swiftly vanished and once more closed the distance with the five God Eye Deities.


    "Don''t even think about it!" Zhao Feng roared, activating his Realization ability to get closer to the Heaven Lord.


    "Intrusive Dream!" His Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye turned, causing the Dream Dimension around him to become larger and more realistic.


    Once Zhao Feng was close enough to the Heaven Lord, the Dream Dimension suddenly closed shut like a flower in reverse bloom, wrapping up Zhao Feng and the Heaven Lord.


    Zhao Feng was previously only able to pull his foes into the Dream Dimension by pulling on their minds, but now, Zhao Feng could use his projected Dream Dimension to swallow his enemy.


    "Break for me!" The Heaven Lord sensed danger and his central eye began to blaze. The gray-white giant became more solid as it opened its hands and unleashed a dreadful Heavenly Dao energy that sought to shatter everything in its path.


    Bzzz! Boom!


    The entire Dream Dimension swayed, numerous cracks appearing on it where the palms of the gray-white giant struck.


    "The Dream Dimension can''t hold him?" Zhao Feng''s heart shivered.


    He had long ago guessed this. After all, Heavenly Dao energy had absolute control over all other energies, and it was very difficult to suppress it with other energies.


    Of course, Zhao Feng was only planning to hold the Heaven Lord for a while so that the other God Eyes could escape.


    "However, if the Heaven Lord leaves the Dream Dimension, it will be even harder for me to capture him again." Zhao Feng''s face turned grim as he began to think.


    The Heaven Lord was powerful, and the most Zhao Feng could do right now was defend and counterattack. Trying to stop an expert like this was rather difficult; Zhao Feng''s Dream Dimension was already on the verge of being destroyed.


    Even though Zhao Feng could do as he wished within the Dream Dimension, he would still find it hard to kill the Heaven Lord. After all, the Heaven Lord now had the Ancient God-Devil Body, the Samsara Immortal Body, and the power of the Life God Eye. He would have to instantly be killed or not be killed at all. Crucially, Heavenly Dao energy was extremely resistant to Dream energy.


    In addition, Zhao Feng''s Dream God Eye did not have the ability to attack. If he wanted to stop or defeat the Heaven Lord, he needed greater offensive power, or else his left eye needed to far exceed the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao God Eye.


    "Right, the Ancient God-Devil Body is connected to the Ancestral Eye!" Zhao Feng suddenly remembered what the Heaven Lord had said before.


    The power of the Ancient Race was also resistant to Heavenly Dao energy and was much stronger than any other kind of energy. If he could grasp this energy and use it to boost his Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye, his offensive ability would be greatly boosted.


    God Eye... Duplication...


    Just as the Dream Dimension was about to shatter, Zhao Feng focused his left eye on the Heaven Lord''s body.


    Bzzzz! Hwoosh!


    A dreamy wave of light passed through the Heaven Lord''s body, thoroughly analyzing the composition of the Ancient Race bloodline.


    Logically speaking, Zhao Feng would never be able to duplicate the Heaven Lord''s Ancient Race bloodline. After all, the Heaven Lord''s Ancient Race bloodline was of a higher level than any single God Eye. However, the Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye was no longer governed by logic and common sense.


    And besides, the Dream Dimension had yet to shatter. Within the Dream Dimension, Zhao Feng could use Dream Origin energy to its greatest extent.


    The three abilities of God Eye Duplication, Realization, and the Dream Dimension were brought together.


    Bzzz!


    A bit of gold and silver blood appeared in the dream sea around Zhao Feng, exuding an energy that made all other beings tremble in fear. More and more of this blood appeared and seeped into Zhao Feng''s body.


    The Heaven Lord suddenly sensed the bloodline energy of the Ancient Race.


    "What''s he planning?" The Heaven Lord darkly stared at Zhao Feng.


    It was pointless for Zhao Feng to create the Ancient Race bloodline in the Dream Dimension. After all, when the dream was broken, everything created in the dream would disappear.


    He had researched the Dream Dao. Within the Dream Dimension, one could influence one''s foes and even kill them, but the effects of the Dream Dimension could not be used to alter oneself. Otherwise, one could just dream themselves to be a God and then wake up as a God.


    "Ancient Race!" Zhao Feng roared as his blood was gradually replaced with the blood of the Ancient Race.


    Boom!


    A wild bloodline energy that shook the heavens erupted from his body, shooting into the sky together with chaotic streams of golden-silver light. Zhao Feng''s body was wrapped in golden-silver light and grew to a height of one thousand feet, almost identical to the Heaven Lord''s body.


    "Break for me!" the Heaven Lord coldly roared as he exploded with all his strength.


    The Heavenly Dao''s enormous phantom shattered the Dream Dimension, turning it into countless shards. Everything within the dream disappeared.


    But... Zhao Feng''s God-Devil Body still existed!


    "No, how can this be?" The Heaven Lord was as stunned as he could possibly be.


    Logically speaking, what Zhao Feng dreamed should have vanished with the dream.


    "Okay!" Zhao Feng was elated. The Ancient Race bloodline imbued him with even greater offensive power.


    Boom! Bang!


    He threw a punch, sending forth a ball of golden-silver light.


    Stronger... stronger...


    His Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye turned, and dreamy light twisted and writhed on the energy fist. The fist suddenly expanded, and its power multiplied.


    "Impossible! This is a fake Ancient Race bloodline!" The Heaven Lord was in disbelief, his face showing hints of madness as he circulated his own Ancient Race bloodline and punched.


    Boom! Bang!


    An enormous explosion shook the void.


    Before the explosion could disperse, there was yet another explosion.


    The Ancient God-Devil Body hasn''t just increased my offensive power, but my defensive ability as well!"


    Previously, Zhao Feng had not dared to get too close to the Heaven Lord, but now that he had the Ancient God-Devil Body and the power of Dream Origin, what was the harm in getting close?


    Moreover, Zhao Feng discovered that the Ancient God-Devil Body truly was boosting the power of his eye. In just a little while, both of them had gotten much stronger. The Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye was now evolving at an even faster rate.


    Boom! Bang!


    The world trembled as the Heaven Lord''s tattered body flew out of the chaotic storm, but it took only a few moments for his wounds to heal. However, although his wounds were healed, the panic on the Heaven Lord''s face remained.


    "Heavenly Dao Divine Rage!" The Heaven Lord''s face snarled in madness, and the Heavenly Dao Pseudo Ancestral Eye madly turned, his Heavenly Dao energy burning.


    The massive gray-white phantom blazed with white flames and exuded such terrifying pressure that all of the Fan Universe trembled.


    "Die!" The Heaven Lord snarled.


    The gray-white phantom transformed into balls of divine light that shot forward.


    This was the strongest attack the Heaven Lord could use, and it required burning large amounts of Heavenly Dao Origin.


    "Dream World!" Zhao Feng was unmoved and activated his Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye.


    A dreamy light spread out from him, turning everything around him into ethereal objects that seemed like they could only exist in dreams.


    Boomboomboom!


    Those terrifying balls of divine light flew through the region, flew through Zhao Feng''s Ancient God-Devil Body, and flew through the dream-colored giant.


    But Zhao Feng simply stood there, utterly unscathed. It was like everything in the world except Zhao Feng was an illusion. Since it was an illusion, it naturally couldn''t affect Zhao Feng.


    As his eye awakened, Zhao Feng saw many scenes and understood many truths that people knew nothing about. This move had been recorded in his left eye; it could instantly turn everything around himself into illusion.


    "It''s over, Heaven Lord," Zhao Feng gazed at the Heaven Lord and calmly proclaimed.


    "No...!" As Zhao Feng began to walk over, the Heaven Lord turned fearful and began to run.


    "Stop!" Zhao Feng roared. His Ancient Race and Dream Pseudo Ancestral Eye energies activated and unleashed a terrifying attack.


    The Heaven Lord, after fighting for so long, had basically used all his Heavenly Dao Origin. The last attack, in particular, had consumed a vast amount of energy.


    He had only gotten weaker while his enemy had gotten stronger. He was now no match for Zhao Feng.


    "Zhao Feng, you can''t kill me, so why don''t we end things here?" the Heaven Lord called out, but he still fled as quickly as he could.


    "Impossible." Zhao Feng''s expression was cold and indifferent.


    Zhao Feng was able to understand much through the memories sealed within his left eye.


    The strength of the Eight Great God Eyes maintained all the laws of the Fan Universe, and the Heaven Lord''s goal was to leave this universe. Once he left with the power of the Eight Great God Eyes, the entire Fan Universe would be destroyed.


    Boom! Bang!


    Every time Zhao Feng got close to the Heaven Lord, he would unleash a fierce attack to weaken the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao energy.


    This pursuit didn''t last for long, but the two were strong enough to cover more than half of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods in one second.


    "Is it all destroyed?" Zhao Feng lowered his head and took a glance.


    The battle of the two Pseudo Ancestral Eyes had left the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods crumbling and falling apart. Even the outer dimensions were seemingly affected. Zhao Feng couldn''t help but think about the Continent Zone and the Azure Flower Continent.


    "Let''s end this!" Zhao Feng''s left eye was getting stronger and stronger, and it now completely surpassed the Heaven Lord''s Pseudo Ancestral Eye.


    He waved his hand, sending forth a dream-colored sphere.


    "No¡­!" The Heaven Lord¡¯s body trembled as he yelped in fear.


    But he was extremely weak now, and Zhao Feng was now so strong that it was impossible for him to fight back. He could not dodge this attack.


    Bzzz!


    The dream sphere engulfed the Heaven Lord, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn''t escape.


    "Zhao Feng, let me live! I''m willing to give up the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye. Moreover, your left eye is an Ancestral Eye. You''re an invincible existence, and no power can threaten you!" the Heaven Lord pleaded.


    He was sure now that Zhao Feng''s left eye was an Ancestral Eye. Only this could explain how Zhao Feng''s left eye was able to get so strong so quickly. This was because the left eye at its prime was an Ancestral Eye, and now, it was on the verge of fully awakening!


    The Heaven Lord was forced to admit that he had been defeated. He never imagined that there was another Ancestral Eye beside the one he had discovered through his investigations.


    Zhao Feng was expressionless, and he appeared unmoved by this news. As the Heaven Lord had said, his left eye truly was an Ancestral Eye.


    At this moment:


    Whoosh!


    A damaged white warship flew over, and an imposing elder slowly walked out.


    "Tianwu!" The Heaven Lord looked at Yu Tianwu with a complicated expression.


    "Tianshu, you''ve lost!" Yu Tianwu looked at the Heaven Lord and sighed.

 1571 The Riddle of the Fan Universe

    Chapter 1571 - The Riddle of the Fan Universe


    "Yes, I lost." The Heaven Lord''s face went slack as his mind plunged into his memories.


    Long ago, the Heaven''s Legacy Race accidentally entered this world and was imprisoned within it, unable to leave.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race''s goal had always been to leave this place, but there were two solutions to leaving, resulting in a schism. The Heaven Defying Faction sought to find the greatest power of this world and take all the resources of the world with them when they left. The Sage Faction''s solution was to peacefully live here until the right moment came.


    The two factions could not be considered enemies; they could even be considered old friends. It was just that they walked different paths to realize the same goal.


    The Heaven Lord had always believed that his solution was the right one, and he could lead the Heaven''s Legacy Race out of this place. But in the end, he had failed.


    "Zhao Feng, let him live," Yu Tianwu suddenly said.


    "What?" The Heaven Lord was stunned. He never would''ve expected Yu Tianwu to plead for mercy on his behalf.


    The two of them were both geniuses of the Heaven''s Legacy Race who had once shared an extremely close relationship. It was just that they had different ideas, so they went their own way to prove their own ideas.


    Zhao Feng said nothing. The Heaven Lord''s conduct could not be forgiven.


    The battle of the two Pseudo Ancestral Eyes had left the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods devastated, and even the outer dimensions had been affected. Besides that, the spatial fabric of the Fan Universe was riddled with holes and severely damaged. The number of dead from this war was simply uncountable.


    "Zhao Feng, your eye is probably the other Ancestral Eye. If you can obtain the power of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye, this world can still be saved!" Yu Tianwu continued.


    The Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye and Zhao Feng''s eye were clearly not the same, so Yu Tianwu was confident that these were two completely different Ancestral Eyes.


    The two Ancestral Eyes had different abilities, but they were both peerless and heaven-defying. If Zhao Feng''s eye matured to the Ancestral Eye level, perhaps he could repair the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. And the Heaven Lord''s Heavenly Dao Pseudo Ancestral Eye also had the power of the Samsara God Eye, so those that died in battle could be revived.


    "Fine, I agree. I''ll spare his life. Just treat it as me returning your favor." After a long period of thought, Zhao Feng agreed.


    Yu Tianwu had met Zhao Feng in the Azure Flower Continent and helped him multiple times. Without him, Zhao Feng would have never reached this point. Thus, he decided to agree to Yu Tianwu''s request this time.


    "What?" The Heaven Lord was stunned once more. Zhao Feng agreed?


    "I will try to send your people out of this place," Zhao Feng added.


    He agreed to Yu Tianwu''s request, but he also wanted to fulfill their other wish.


    In the memories of the Dream Ancestral Eye, the Dream Ancestral Eye and the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye were the two supreme powers of the Fan Universe. It was precisely the existence of these two that allowed the Fan Universe to steadily operate. Once Zhao Feng''s eyes completely awakened to the Ancestral Eye level and he obtained the Heavenly Dao energy, he might be able to send the Heaven''s Legacy Race out of this universe.


    "Many thanks!" Yu Tianwu genially smiled.


    If Zhao Feng was able to do this, it would mean that the Sage Faction''s way was correct, and they would be the ones who would lead the Heaven''s Legacy Race out of the Fan Universe. Of course, this was no longer important.


    "Zhao Feng, you''ve won. Can you tell where your Ancestral Eye came from?" The Heaven Lord calmed, and a sharp light gleamed in his eyes.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was a race that prized knowledge, and they had a strong desire to learn about the unknown. "I also just learned about that...." Zhao Feng took in a deep breath.


    The awakening of his eye didn''t come with just immense power, but also many truths that no one else knew about.


    When the Fan Universe was first created, there was only one continent called the Desolate Continent. Many powerful existences and species lived on this continent - mighty races that were not included in the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. But the number one was still the Ancient Race, which dominated the continent.


    As for why the Ancient Race was so powerful, ordinary people believed that it was because their bloodline was simply unmatched in power. In truth, within the Ancient Race resided two Ancient Ancestral Gods that no one else knew about.


    These two Ancestral Gods were the avatars of the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye and the Dream Ancestral Eye. They controlled the entirety of the Fan Universe. They were the Kings of Gods!


    But a mountain could not hold two tigers, and the existence of the two Ancient Ancestral Gods caused the Ancient Race to splinter. As the quarrels built up, they eventually erupted into a God-Devil war!


    All the races of the Desolate Continent took part in this war, and in the end, even the two Ancient Ancestral Gods took action.


    But the two Ancient Ancestral Gods were too powerful. The Desolate Continent was shattered into grains of dust, and the Fan Universe itself was forced to expand.


    No one knew about the terrifying battle between the two Ancient Ancestral Gods. Only the memories within the Dream Ancestral Eye told Zhao Feng just how dreadful this battle was.


    This battle had obliterated the Desolate Continent. In comparison, the damage done by the battle between Zhao Feng and the Heaven Lord was rather minor.


    In the end, because of the Ancestral Ancient Gods were of similar strength, they both died. The Heavenly Dao Ancestral God''s Ancestral Eye divided into eight - the Eight Great God Eyes. The Dream Ancestral God''s eye remained complete and fell onto a grain of dust. This grain of dust was the Azure Flower Continent.


    "So this world actually had two Ancestral Eyes!" The Heaven Lord smiled. The riddle that had left him befuddled was answered.


    Why did the Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye divide into eight? One could say that this was the Dream Ancestral Eye''s work. Why did his plan to fuse together the Heavenly Dao God Eye make so much progress after he obtained Zhao Feng''s blood? Because Zhao Feng had the Dream Ancestral Eye, and the Dream Ancestral Eye had infused the energy of the Ancestral Eye in Zhao Feng''s body.


    "Hand it over, the Heavenly Dao energy!" Zhao Feng extended a hand.


    The Heaven Lord nodded and began to cooperate. He wanted to obtain the strongest power of this world and all of its valuables before leaving, but his main goal was just to leave this world. He had failed, so if the god of this world was willing to forgive his errors, he had nothing to say and could only cooperate.


    Thwish!


    Gray-white streams of light flew out of the Heaven Lord''s forehead and entered Zhao Feng''s hand, flowing through his body.


    His left eye was the Dream Ancestral Eye. If this supreme power existed alongside another similar existence, he did not know what would happen. Thus, Zhao Feng stored the Heavenly Dao energy in his right eye.


    Gradually, Zhao Feng''s right eye began to change, turning gray-white and emotionless. Just glancing at it would instill fear in one''s heart.


    On the other hand, Zhao Feng''s left eye was dazzling and gorgeous, instilling in others a desire to get close.


    A few moments later, the eye at the center of the Heaven Lord''s forehead vanished.


    At the same time, in another place in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, the Spacetime, Death, Divine Punishment, and Myriad Forms Gods stood in the void.


    "Just who won?" The Divine Punishment God had a grave expression.


    The battle between Zhao Feng and the Heaven Lord made the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods and all of the Fan Universe tremble. The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was in the middle of crumbling away, its pieces scattering into the surroundings, but the trembling had suddenly stopped. This meant that the battle was over.


    The God Eye Deities and all the other Gods of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods peered into the chaotic void, wanting to know who had won.


    At this moment, Destiny God Eye Liu Qinxin sent word. The four God Eye Deities finally relaxed and exhaled in relief. This news spread through the realm: the Heaven Defying Faction had lost!


    On the other end, the Heaven Lord lost all his Heavenly Dao energy.


    Zhao Feng stood in the void, the energy he exuded so frightening that it made others instinctively want to back away.


    Heavenly Dao energy and Dream energy were both energies that far surpassed the energy of any other God in the Fan Universe, and these two energies could mutually boost each other. This mutual relationship caused the two eyes to get stronger and stronger, and the power Zhao Feng radiated caused the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods to shake once more.


    "Let''s get back for now! This power is too strong!" Yu Tianwu and the Heaven Lord returned to the white warship.


    These two supreme energies were too powerful. Zhao Feng would probably need some time before he could fully control them.


    "There shouldn''t be a problem...." Yu Tianwu muttered.


    For some reason, he felt uneasy. The source of this unease was that legend: when the supreme Ancestral Eye opens, all things in the world will disappear....


    But now that he thought about it, this was impossible. After all, two Ancient Ancestral Gods had existed in the distant past of the Fan Universe.


    "Feng!" Liu Qinxin deeply gazed at Zhao Feng before following the warship.


    What a powerful energy! Zhao Feng closed his eyes and sensed the boundless energy within him.


    The Dream Ancestral Eye, in particular, was rapidly awakening, and it had already reached an unimaginable level. Suddenly, Zhao Feng sensed that the Heavenly Dao Pseudo Ancestral Eye stopped growing in power.


    Of course, the Dream Ancestral Eye''s stimulation made the Heavenly Dao Pseudo Ancestral Eye much more powerful than it was with the Heaven Lord.


    "With this power, I will definitely be able to help the Heaven''s Legacy Race leave this place." Zhao Feng smiled as he opened his eyes.


    Suddenly:


    Brrrooom!


    The world before Zhao Feng''s eyes trembled, an indescribably dangerous energy packing every inch of space. Everything began to crumble away.


    As he spread out his Divine Sense, more than half of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods appeared in his mind. However, the entire Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was crumbling and vanishing. Space was tearing apart and all was being wiped out. The universe itself was in the middle of destruction. All living beings were instantly killed. Not even God Kings or Gods were able to survive.


    "Qinxin!" Zhao Feng suddenly called out.


    The white warship had also been swallowed up in the destruction. At the final moment, Liu Qinxin even took out the Fan Lun Ancient Sound Palace, the supreme Ancestral Artifact of the Destiny God Eye, but even the Ancestral Artifact was obliterated.


    "No! What''s going on!?" Zhao Feng''s face froze in panic and fear began to take hold of his heart.


    A few moments later, the entire world was destroyed. The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had disappeared. The outer dimensions had also vanished.


    Everyone else was gone, leaving only Zhao Feng.


    "Was this my mistake?" Zhao Feng stood frozen.


    He now recalled the legend. Had the complete awakening of his Dream Ancestral Eye led the entire world to be destroyed?!


    This world was now a chaotic void ravaged by destructive storms and brimming with dangerous and frightening energies.


    Zhao Feng was downcast, grief-stricken and alarmed.


    "Eh? There''s still someone here?" an old and mumbling voice spoke, but it sounded loud and clear to Zhao Feng.

 1572 The Truth of the World

    Chapter 1572 - The Truth of the World


    "Who''s there?" The dejected Zhao Feng trembled in shock, and it felt like he could see a light in the darkness.


    In this dark and empty world devoid of any life, where did that voice come from?


    He could only sense an endless fog of chaotic energy around him. Colors and strength seemed to be meaningless in this place. Time and space had mixed together into a complete mess, and he found it difficult to find a reference point.


    Was this the Primal Chaos the legends said existed before the creation of the world?


    "''Who''s there?'' That''s a question that I should be asking." The mumbled voice contained the laziness of someone who had just awakened, but it also contained a primordial and ancient energy.


    It was impossible to fathom the depths of this energy. It seemed like it contained everything, but it also seemed like a bottomless void.


    Besides that, his Dream Ancestral Eye found this energy a little familiar.


    Whoosh! Whoosh!


    This energy caused ripples to appear in the area of Primal Chaos near Zhao Feng.


    "What sort of existence is this?" Zhao Feng was stunned. Even with his two Ancestral Eyes, he still could not fathom the true power of this existence.


    Suddenly, the torrents of chaotic energy around him seethed.


    In the silence, some kind of damaged face, so vast as to seem boundless, appeared in the ethereal haze. Only a simple outline of this face could be seen, but it seemed like the sky of the world, and Zhao Feng felt a slight pressure.


    "This is..." Zhao Feng''s Ancestral Eyes thumped in unison, and that sense of familiarity grew stronger and stronger. This feeling was like that of an orphan finally meeting their birth mother.


    "Eh? Your body actually has my energy source!" The vast and ethereal face appeared shocked, and it stared at Zhao Feng''s Ancestral Eyes. After a long while, the owner of this face sighed.


    He fell into a long silence, seemingly recollecting something.


    After a long time:


    "Senior, who are you?" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but ask. "What happened to make the Fan Universe vanish?"


    It had vanished. Everything had vanished. The Fan Universe, the Realm of Gods... the Continent Zone... the Azure Flower Continent... everything that he knew had just disappeared.


    "Father, mother... Qinxin... Yufei..." In this primordial and chaotic space, Zhao Feng felt an intense sorrow and loneliness. He needed an answer.


    After a long while, the face finally spoke; "...I understand."


    Zhao Feng stared with his Ancestral Eyes at the massive face.


    "I didn''t think that I would be able to wake up again!" the massive face muttered. Although Zhao Feng couldn''t clearly make out his expression, he was sure that this being held no hostility toward him. In those "eyes" of his, he sensed a complicated mixture of emotions.


    "I come from the Brahma Great World, destroyed many ages ago. My name is Fan Gu. Child, what is your name?" The face once more focused on Zhao Feng and smiled.


    "This junior is Zhao Feng, and I came from the Fan Universe that just disappeared," Zhao Feng answered.


    You must be extremely angry and depressed about your current situation." Fan Gu seemed to understand everything and appeared calm and wise.


    "Senior, please instruct me!" Zhao Feng suppressed his impatience.


    Nothing was left of the Fan Universe. Everything had vanished, leaving only himself. No... it seemed like there was one other. Even so, Zhao Feng still felt confused and empty.


    "Then this one will start from the beginning. My name is Fan Gu, and in this Primal Chaos plane, I am a Creator-level existence. In an unprecedented battle against an existence of the same level, I killed my foe, but I also essentially died. All that survived was this remnant will and my Origin energy...." Fan Gu seemed immersed in his memories, and he spoke very slowly to Zhao Feng.


    From the very first words Fan Gu spoke, Zhao Feng felt that something was strange. Creator level? He had never heard of this level before.


    "Everything that existed in this Fan Universe of yours was something that I thought up. The Ancestral Gods that died in your Fan Universe would be considered World-level experts in this Primal Chaos plane," the ethereal face slowly spoke.


    Ancestral Gods? They were World-level? What about God Kings and Gods? Zhao Feng was more and more shocked.


    "A God would at most be at the half-World level. A World-level expert is an invincible existence in a Great World, able to rule over everything, and they can transcend the Great World to traverse the Primal Chaos plane. And above the World level is the Creator level. They often have the ability to establish new worlds and create all things," the face answered Zhao Feng''s questions.


    The most powerful experts of the Realm of Gods, the Gods, were only at the half-World level? And the Ancestral Gods involved in that ancient war were only barely at the World level? And this face was once at the even higher Creator level!


    Just how terrifying would a battle between Creators be? After all, the battle of the Pseudo Ancestral Eyes had already left the world in tatters, while a battle between World-level experts had essentially obliterated the Great World that was the Fan Universe. And this battle had basically killed Fan Gu, leaving only this remnant will and his Origin energy.


    "Then what happened to the Fan Universe?" Zhao Feng vaguely knew the answer. It was connected to the legend of the Ancestral Eye.


    "While I still lived, though I was born in the Great Dao of Primal Chaos, I decided to blaze a new trail and established the Great Dao of Dream. The Dream Origin that remained was extremely special. It had the ability of ''turning dream into reality'' and ''one dream to create all things.'' It far surpassed the power of an ordinary Creator." The face''s voice was suffused with pride.


    "Dream Origin? Is that my Dream Ancestral Eye?" Zhao Feng speculated.


    Turning dreams into reality was the ultimate ideal of the Illusion Dao - turning the illusory into the real. His Realization ability was only a minor manifestation of this ability.


    But Fan Gu''s Great Dao of Dream could create everything from a single dream and far surpassed the power of other Creators.


    "When I died, the remnants of my Dream Origin, bereft of a master, unconsciously created a world to restore me. Through the creation of a dream, it tried to recover my Yuan Qi." The face paused and looked at Zhao Feng.


    The creation of a dream? Are you saying that this was how the Fan Universe was created?" Zhao Feng blurted out.


    This meant that the entire Fan Universe was merely a dream created by the remnant power of this Creator after his death.


    If this really was the case... then was what happened in this "dream" real, or was it fake? If it was fake, then what exactly was Zhao Feng? If it was all real, then where had the Fan Universe and everyone Zhao Feng knew disappeared to?


    "Yes, it was a dream!" The ethereal face''s words confirmed Zhao Feng''s theory.

 1573 A Dream to Create the Universe

    Chapter 1573 - A Dream to Create the Universe "Yes, it was a dream!"


    The ethereal face''s words caused Zhao Feng''s heart to sink. He had long ago realized this, but he found it impossible to accept such a reality. But if the entire Fan Universe was a dream, what was he? Why didn''t he vanish like everyone else? Why did he still exist?


    "As for why you still exist, that is because you have inherited the energy source of me, Fan Gu!" the face continued.


    "I would rather not have this energy!" Zhao Feng''s face was twisted in sorrow, and he was completely dejected and forlorn.


    At this moment, he now knew the truth. If his Dream Ancestral Eye had not completely awakened, the "dreamed world" would have continued to exist, but when the Ancestral Eye awakened, the world disappeared! And disappeared with it were the people Zhao Feng had grown up with, his closest friends and lovers... everything that he was familiar with was gone.


    "That world was nothing more than something created using our strength. If you inherit this strength, you will be the Ancestor of Dreams. For that world, you would be the King of Gods, able to bring salvation to all." Fan Gu knew what Zhao Feng was thinking, and he smiled.


    "What should I do?" Zhao Feng became ecstatic, and he immediately asked, grasping at that hope like a drowning man reaching for a rope.


    Fan Gu sighed. "As long as you inherit my remnant will and everything else, you will learn how to do it."


    Zhao Feng was shocked. If he inherited everything that remained of Fan Gu, Fan Gu would essentially disappear. Was Fan Gu''s remnant will willing to help him?


    "I have been asleep for who-knows-how-long, and though I have awakened, there is still no hope of rebuilding myself. Besides, an end might be a new beginning. If you are willing, I will entrust everything to you...." Fan Gu slowly said.


    For him, this awakening was a most unexpected surprise. The entire Fan Universe was just a manifestation of the last vestiges of his power. Zhao Feng was a member of the Fan Universe and had inherited his Dream Origin. From a certain perspective, Zhao Feng was a newly bom Fan Gu - Fan Gu''s continuation!


    "Senior, thank you for your help!" Zhao Feng clasped his fist in his hand and voiced his thanks. If he could save everything, he was willing to do anything.


    ¡°Very well...." Fan Gu sighed in relief. His remnant will was about to reach its end and enter a new beginning.


    Whoosh!


    The vast ethereal face turned into a surging mist that flew into Zhao Feng''s eyes. Most of the mist merged with the Dream Ancestral Eye; Dream Origin was the fundamental strength that Fan Gu had used to reach the Creator level.


    This was a dark and hazy world. Everything was jumbled and confused here, and neither time nor space seemed to exist.


    In a certain corner of this plane of Primal Chaos, a youth stood like a stone statue that had lasted through the endless ages.


    After a very long time, the youth opened his eyes. He was devoid of energy, seeming like an ordinary person, but he was also unharmed despite residing in this plane of Primal Chaos.


    At a certain moment, the light of understanding appeared in the youth''s eyes.


    He had inherited everything that was once Fan Gu''s. He could be called Zhao Feng, but he could also be called a continuation of Fan Gu after his death.


    After what would have been hundreds of millions of years in the Fan Universe''s time, he had finally recovered the majority of the Creator-level power.


    However, even though Zhao Feng had inherited everything of Fan Gu''s, what he felt was most important was still the Fan Universe.


    "Restore the broken mirror, reform the dream, let the dream create the universe!" As Zhao Feng muttered, his left eye exploded with boundless dreamy light. Meanwhile, his right eye twinkled with a cold and gray-white light before closing again.


    Swish!


    A vast Dream Dimension began to form. A complete universe appeared within this Dream Dimension, and the space within seethed like first beings rising from the Primal Chaos. Gradually, these images took the form of the entire world right before its destruction.


    "Return!" Zhao Feng''s two Ancestral Eyes surged with seemingly infinite Origin energy.


    The Dream Ancestral Eye was the foundation of Fan Gu''s Creator-level power. The Heavenly Dao Ancestral Eye represented Fan Gu''s understanding of the Great Dao of Primal Chaos and his ability to use Dream Origin. With these two Origin energies, Zhao Feng could transcend the gap between illusion and reality.


    After some time, Zhao Feng opened his eyes wide. The entire world had changed!


    What he saw was this: the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was in tatters, numerous civilizations destroyed and countless lives lost in the chaos. But for Zhao Feng, this sight was incredibly exciting.


    In the distance, on the departing white warship, Yu Tianwu, the Heaven Lord, and Liu Qinxin were confused, their bodies stiff. All the countless living beings of the Fan Universe had gone stiff. For some reason, they felt like they just had a close brush with death.


    "Now, I just need to repair the world." Zhao Feng closed his eyes again.


    Within the Fan Universe, the lands began to fuse together while the gaps in space began to repair themselves.


    The sight of the world shifting and repairing itself caused everyone to sigh in wonder. This was nothing short of a miracle!


    A rumor began to spread that the supreme God of this world had awakened and had saved them all.


    Not only that, even the fallen Gods - the Life God, Samsara God, and Destruction God - were revived.


    "The Eight Great God Eyes represent the rules of the Heavenly Dao and will be able to stabilize the Fan Universe," Zhao Feng muttered.


    After inheriting Fan Gu''s will, he had an entirely new understanding of the Great Dao and of the nature of energy.


    In the Sage Faction''s secret base, in the top floor of the six-sided tower:


    "Zhao Feng, can you send us out of this illusory world?" the Heaven Lord excitedly said.


    "I can. But only those with a complete Heaven''s Legacy Race bloodline can leave," Zhao Feng calmly and confidently replied.


    An illusory world? One could call it that. Everything in this world was a mixture of darkness and light, real and fake. To those worlds that had emerged in the plane of Primal Chaos, they were the real ones while everything in the Fan Universe was fake, but to the Fan Universe, it was the real one while all the living beings of the Primal Chaos plane was dream-like existences.


    They were like opposite dimensions. For either side, the other side was fake, and only they could be considered real.


    Of course, if the "illusory" of one side ran off to "real" world on the other side, they might quickly disappear, unless they were like Zhao Feng, who was the Ancestor of Dreams and could transcend illusion and reality.


    The Heaven''s Legacy Race was a race from beyond this universe, so they could be considered an exception. However, if there were members of the Heaven''s Legacy Race who were born in this world afterward and did not fully inherit the Heaven''s Legacy Race bloodline, they might not be able to leave.


    The leaders of the Heaven Defying Faction and Sage Faction nodded and began to think. They both unquestionably possessed complete Heaven''s Legacy Race bloodlines, but many of the other members of their race did not.


    ¡°Zhao Feng, give us some time...." the two of them said at the same time.


    In the Continent Zone, a man and two women suddenly descended. The man was incomparably handsome and exuded a transcendent aura while the two women were like celestial fairies. Anyone who beheld them would freeze for a few moments.


    "I''ve come back to this place!" Zhao Yufei giggled as her beautiful eyes looked far into the distance, taking in all the familiar vistas.


    "Let''s go! This place isn''t our destination," Zhao Feng said.


    "To where?" Zhao Yufei asked.


    "You''re both mine now, so shouldn''t we go and see my parents?" Zhao Feng gave a naughty smile. He was quite enjoying himself.


    "Ugh!" Zhao Yufei rolled her eyes at Zhao Feng, her face turning red.


    Liu Qinxin giggled and said nothing, but her heart was awash with warmth.


    In the grounds of the Broken Moon Clan, in a secluded place:


    "Father, mother, I''m back!" a familiar voice came from the gate.


    When seeing his father and mother, Zhao Feng altered his face so that it bore his original appearance.


    Within the house, a muscular middle-aged man and a gentle and refined woman suddenly froze.


    "Feng''er, is it really you?" Zhao Feng''s mother immediately stepped forward, one hand holding Zhao Feng while the other caressed his face.


    This was the longest that Zhao Feng had been away from home. Although it was short for a God like Zhao Feng, it was incredibly long for his parents.


    "And these two girls are?" Zhao Feng''s father, Zhao Tianyang, glanced at the girls flanking Zhao Feng in surprise.


    "This is Zhao Yufei. I mentioned her to you before. This is Liu Qinxin...." Zhao Feng slowly spoke as the three of them came in.


    Zhao Feng''s mother happily smiled. After listening for a while, she went to prepare a meal.


    A few moments later, delicious food was served at the table. The family sat around the table, chatting and eating, warmth, harmony, and joy filling the room.


    Just like this, Zhao Feng, Liu Qinxin, and Zhao Yufei lived together for a spell.


    Ten years later, Zhao Feng left with the two women.


    In the space of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, a strangely-shaped flying ship floated.


    "Zhao Feng, thank you!" Yu Tianwu expressed his gratitude to Zhao Feng, his face beaming with joy.


    "Zhao Feng, what are your plans for the future?" The Heaven Lord was very interested in Zhao Feng''s current state.


    Zhao Feng was the strongest expert of this world, standing above all the Gods. He could be considered the King of Gods.


    "I should spend a little longer here. Once I''ve waited long enough, I''ll think of a way to take Qinxin and Yufei to see the ''real world,"'' Zhao Feng said with a smile.


    "I''m confident that you can go to the outside world, but them..." The Heaven Lord slightly shook his head, somewhat unconvinced.


    To the physical world, everything in this world was an illusory dream. When beings bom in the dream left the dream, they would disappear. How could Liu Qinxin and Zhao Yufei go out to see the world beyond?


    "Heh." Zhao Feng gave a mysterious smile.


    With the two great Origins of Dream and Heavenly Dao as well as Fan Gu''s memories, he could definitely find a way.


    "Zhao Feng, we must bid farewell." Yu Tianwu appeared rather sad as he waved his hand at Zhao Feng, Liu Qinxin, and the others.


    Zhao Feng had by now understood the situation of the Heaven''s Legacy Race.


    The world where the Heaven''s Legacy Race once lived had been destroyed. A World-level expert managed to lead the race away from the destroyed world and into the plane of Primal Chaos, but during the journey, a mishap caused the race to be scattered. One group accidentally entered Fan Gu''s dream world, and in this dream world, even a World- level expert would find it difficult to escape.


    "Okay, I''ll send you off!" Zhao Feng firmly said.


    Before they left, he used his ability to turn dream into reality to create a Heaven Mending Race body for Yu Tianwu so that he could traverse the Primal Chaos plane.


    Bzzz!


    Space distorted as a dark passage slowly took form. Yu Tianwu, the Heaven Lord, and a portion of the Heaven''s Legacy Race boarded their special flying ship and vanished into the passage.


    "Brother Feng, when can we go to see the world on the other side?" Zhao Yufei gave a mischievous chuckle, her gorgeous eyes brimming with curiosity.


    On the side, Liu Qinxin also had a look of yearning.


    "Not long now." Zhao Feng smiled as he embraced both of the women. He had long ago formed a plan to travel the world beyond.

    After about two and a half years of stumbling about while writing King of Gods, it''s about time for the song to end and the party to disperse. At a time like this, one can''t help but feel a little melancholy.


    Regardless of what the public might have to say, Fast Food has written out everything in his original outline, with the full text consisting of more than five million characters.


    In other words, I''ve written all that needed to be written. At the very least, you can''t say there was no ending (Given the unstable and low income for many web novels, can the majority of authors actually manage to write an ending for their novels? There might not even be one properly finished book in ten).


    In this period, Fast Food moved houses, got married, and had a kid. I also got sick twice and stopped updates for a month. I thank my readers for supporting me all the way.


    As for the overall grade for my book, King of Gods fared better than I expected. It was popular for a while in QQ Book City, with more than one million bookmarking it and a daily income above ten thousand, and it''s always been ranked highly on the Fengyun Ranking for Mobile Baidu... I won''t mention any more. Besides that, King of Gods was also adapted into an online game. In these aspects, it has performed much better than all my previous groups.


    Some readers say that the ending was rushed and the book finished too quickly, but that''s not the case.


    At the start, I was prepared to write around three million characters for this book, but since it did well, my editor recommended that I write a little more and that I drag out the story to at least four million characters. After it was adapted to a game, I extended it to five million characters.


    You can imagine just how long a book of five million characters is. Staggering your way through and running into so many problems in the meantime so that you can finally draw a checkmark at the end... only web novel authors can understand just how much sweat and effort goes into it.


    It''s true that by the end, the writing quality dropped. Fast Food also realized this (In truth, this is a common problem for most overly-long web novels). After all, it was much more than I had initially prepared to write, and the condition of my body limited my time and energy.


    In addition, this is Fast Food''s first time writing Xuanhuan, as my first three books were all Xianxia. It''s also the first time I''ve written a book with more than five million characters.


    If I could compare this book to a marathon, then Fast Food ran to the very end, and that''s the best I could do. Completely writing out everything set out in the outline and getting grades like this is good enough for Fast Food.


    If there are any regrets, they can only be fulfilled in the next book. Or perhaps several tens of thousands of characters for a ''side story'' to continue the life of the invincible King of Gods are still missing.


    Here, I''d like to thank everyone that has supported King of Gods and supported Fast Food, including the forum moderators.

 1574 A New World

    Chapter 1574 - A New World


    There had always been a certain legend in the Fan Universe: when the Eight Great God Eyes were gathered together, they could summon the supreme Ancestral Eye, and when the Ancestral Eye opened, all things in the world would disappear.


    But gradually, this legend was forgotten, and a new legend began to spread through the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods: the Fan Universe was home to a King of Gods. No matter what disaster the Fan Universe experienced, the King of Gods would definitely save them.


    One hundred years had passed since the last calamity descended upon the Desolate Realm. The Fan Universe was even more stable now, and the war resulted in the grudges between the Eight Great God Eyes significantly fading away. They would have a few small quarrels at most now.


    A man and two women stood in the pitch-black void.


    "Let''s go and see the world outside!" Zhao Feng hugged the two women and smiled in anticipation.


    The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had been placed on the right track, and he could leave without worrying. For the world outside though, everything within the Fan Universe was fake. If Liu Qinxin and Zhao Yufei tried to enter this other world without preparation, they would simply disappear.


    But Zhao Feng had already thought of a way. He had inherited Fan Gu''s strength, and he now had the strength of a Creator expert.


    "We''re heading out!" Zhao Yufei was rather excited. She was incredibly curious about this unknown and brand-new world.


    Liu Qinxin gently smiled and silently gazed at Zhao Feng. As long as they were together, she didn''t care where they went.


    Since Liu Qinxin was preparing to leave this world, she had long ago selected a successor and entrusted them with the Destiny Origin.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat''s eyes gleamed as if it wanted to plunder all the treasures of this new world.


    Yes, the little thieving cat was also in no mood to stay in the Fan Universe and wanted to leave with Zhao Feng.


    "I will use the Law of Samsara to reincarnate you! It won''t be long until we can meet again!" Zhao Feng sternly said.


    This was his solution. He would have the souls of the two women and the little thieving cat enter the cycle of reincarnation of the outside world so that they could be reborn. In this way, they would be converted into real living beings of that other world.


    Zhao Feng was somewhat unwilling to do this, but it was just a reincarnation. They would be reunited soon enough.


    "I don''t understand the Samsara Dao of the outside world that much. Little thieving cat, if you end up reincarnating into a human, don''t blame me...." Zhao Feng suddenly chuckled.


    If one day, a person were to regain the memories of their past life and discover that they had been a cat, they would definitely find it impossible to accept.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat grimaced and began to gesture in complaint. In a cat''s world view, a cat was the greatest. It hoped to be reborn in the new world as one of the cats that it admired. It definitely didn''t want to be reincarnated into the body of a human.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng opened his eyes - the left eye of Dreams and the right eye of the Heavenly Dao.


    A supreme and obscure power surged into the void, forming a dark and twisted passage with no end.


    Whoosh!


    The group entered this passage. A point of light soon appeared in this infinitely dark passage.


    Upon entering this new world, Zhao Feng scanned it with his Creator-level Divine Sense. He discovered that there were records of this world in Fan Gu''s memories.


    "Good, the Alakshana World!"


    After making sure that he was within this world, Zhao Feng used his Dream power to enter the Alakshana World''s underworld.


    After getting accustomed to its workings, Zhao Feng began to choose places for reincarnation, after which he had the women and cat reincarnate.


    Zhao Feng was rather cautious here. If he chose the wrong place to reincarnate, the results would be too tragic to behold.


    He fixed the reincarnation range of the two women and the cat to a very small region. In addition, he placed Dream Marks on their souls so that he could search for them in the future.


    After that, Zhao Feng made his own selection and reincarnated.


    Since this was a new world, he needed to start from the beginning. Liu Qinxin and the others would need time to recover and wouldn''t be able to recover their memories immediately. Thus, Zhao Feng decided to reincarnate so he could grow up with them together.


    The deepest things in the world were not pledges of undying love or memories carved into the bones... it was companionship.


    In the Alakshana World, after some time, Zhao Feng regained a sliver of consciousness, and gradually, all sorts of memories began to appear. After a long while, Zhao Feng was able to recall everything.


    "New world, I''m coming!" Zhao Feng was extremely excited.


    Unlike Liu Qinxin, Zhao Yufei, and the little thieving cat, he had inherited Fan Gu''s power, so he authentically existed in this new world. Thus, he was able to preserve his memories and most fundamental energies.


    But not long after Zhao Feng woke up, he got tired and went back to sleep. After all, he was still in the womb. Zhao Feng couldn''t be bothered worrying about that much and just slept and woke, woke and slept.


    One day, he felt a squeezing pain and couldn''t help but shout. But to outsiders, it was the resounding wail of a baby.


    Zhao Feng examined the furnishings of the room and the dress of the maids and decided that he hadn''t made a mistake.


    At this moment, a middle-aged woman of bewitching beauty opened up her legs and then called out in excitement: "It''s a young master, a young master...!"


    Zhao Feng was somewhat embarrassed, but he didn''t care that much.


    A short while later, a middle-aged man wearing a brown robe rushed into the room and swept up the baby. His timeworn and determined eyes softened with affection.


    "Hmmm, what sort of name should Zhao Tianlong give to his son...?" The middle-aged man cradled the infant as he walked up to the bed. Gently stroking the sweating woman lying on it, he began to discuss with her the name for their son.


    "Is my surname Zhao? Then I should just use my original name!" With this idea in mind, Zhao Feng used his Dream Dao energy to influence the thoughts of the man.


    "Why don''t we call him Zhao Feng!?" A thought emerged in Zhao Tianlong''s mind, and he immediately blurted it out. "Great! Let''s call him Zhao Feng, Feng''er...." The beautiful woman gave an affectionate smile.


    The news of Zhao Feng''s birth was quickly spread through all of Southcloud City. This was because his father was the patriarch of the Zhao clan and the lord of Southcloud City.


    As time passed, the second son of the city lord, Zhao Feng, turned seven.


    The descendants of the Zhao clan would all walk the path of cultivation, and Zhao Feng was no exception.


    The descendants of the Zhao clan had experts to teach them and would receive the best treatment, something that ordinary families could never receive.


    But after three days, Zhao Feng began to skip class.


    In truth, Zhao Feng needed only one day to remember everything. The minor cultivation he had done on the second and third days was enough for him to reach the seventh level of the Ascendant Spirit Realm, equivalent to the seventh level of the Ascended Realm in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods.


    If Zhao Feng really wanted to break through, he wouldn''t need long to recover his Creator-level cultivation, becoming an existence that would make the entire Alakshana World tremble.


    But this was meaningless to Zhao Feng. He was simply a little interested in this world''s cultivation system, so he tried it out for himself.


    The cultivation systems of the many worlds were all essentially the same, but Zhao Feng discovered that the cultivation methods of this world were more complete and rigorous. This meant that, for experts of the same level, an expert of the Alakshana World would crush an expert of the Fan Universe.


    Of course, Zhao Feng was not interested in this. He wanted to live a slow and leisurely life, and after some time passed, he would go to search for Liu Qinxin, Zhao Yufei, and the thieving cat.


    Zhao Feng was the city lord''s second son and possessed incredible talent in cultivation, so he was naturally being watched.


    Rumors of his frequent truancy, how rarely he cultivated, and his indolence quickly spread through Southcloud City. The rumors became more exaggerated as they spread, and for many people within the city, Zhao Feng was certain to be some hedonistic good-for-nothing in the near future.


    The other great clans of Southcloud City were overjoyed to hear this. Even the factions within the Zhao clan competing with the city lord were ecstatic.


    Of course, Zhao Feng was not truly an ignoramus who only knew how to play. The path of cultivation held little interest to him, but he was very interested in other things. For example, refining pills, forging weapons, building arrays and mechanisms, puppets...


    In his last life, Zhao Feng had decent talent in these other fields, but he was in such a rush to cultivate that he had no time for anything else, causing all this talent to go to waste.


    One day, after studying arrays for half a day, Zhao Feng decided to take a break in a pavilion.


    At this moment, two luxuriously clothed youths came over. Upon seeing Zhao Feng, they sneered.


    The two of them were the sons of Zhao Feng''s older uncle and younger uncle. They had the best talent for cultivation in the clan.


    "Brother Feng, hurry to the martial arts ground! Instructor Lin has said that if you don''t go, he''ll go to have a talk with the city lord!"


    "Instructor Lin told us that we had to bring you back no matter what, even if it''s tied up!"


    Zhao Yun and Zhao Hai spoke as if they were greatly troubled as they gradually approached Zhao Feng and made an inviting gesture.


    Although they were kids, they naturally took to the attitude of the strong bullying the weak.


    "Tie me up?" Zhao Feng raised an eyebrow and took a whip-type weapon from his interspatial dimension.


    Striding forward, Zhao Feng shot between Zhao Yun and Zhao Hai.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    Zhao Feng rapidly moved around the pair. By pulling on the whip, he soon had Zhao Yun and Zhao Hai completely bound.


    "How did he tie the two of us up!?" Zhao Hai called out in alarm.


    "I don''t know!" Zhao Yun was rather confused.


    They were both older than Zhao Feng and of a higher cultivation, but before they could even react, Zhao Feng had tied them up.


    "Zhao Feng, don''t go! Hurry and let us go! I, Zhao Yun, demand a fair fight with you!" Zhao Yun called out.


    "Hurry and let us go!" Zhao Hai was extremely unconvinced.


    "You guys talk a lot. Keep it up and I''ll strip you of the clothes and let all the boys and girls of the city take a look at you." Zhao Feng yawned as he casually threatened.


    Zhao Yun and Zhao Hai immediately shut up. Though they were young, they still understood a little about men and women. If their naked bodies were exposed for the girls to see, they wouldn''t be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.


    "Forget it, I should first strip you of your clothes to avoid a next time...." Zhao Feng added.


    "Brother Feng, your little brother understands his mistakes. In the future, we''ll follow whatever you say!" Zhao Hai, who was thirteen, immediately pleaded.


    "Brother Feng, your little brother is willing to serve at your beck and call...!" Zhao Yun had also been properly frightened by Zhao Feng.


    A young master of the city lord''s estate being stripped naked and tied up? He found it impossible to imagine such a miserable sight.


    Upon being frightened by Zhao Feng at such a young age, the two of them felt like they had never met someone so wicked before.


    Zhao Feng would frighten and cow all the children that tried to make trouble for him in this fashion. Afterward, whenever they saw Zhao Feng, they would be extremely courteous and respectful.


    When Zhao Feng decided to slack off, someone would even come over to serve him and even give him massages.


    If they accidentally offended him, they really might end up being stripped naked and tied up for everyone to see.


    One day, the Dream Origin in Zhao Feng''s soul suddenly sensed something and trembled.


    "Such a familiar feeling! I wonder, is it Liu Qinxin, Zhao Yufei, or the little thieving cat...?" Zhao Feng muttered to himself as he stood up.

 1575 Getting a Perfect Score

    Chapter 1575 - Getting a Perfect Score


    At this moment, the Dream Origin in Zhao Feng''s soul sensed a familiar energy and faintly shivered for the briefest of moments.


    "Brother Feng, what''s wrong?" The older children of the clan attending to Zhao Feng shivered and immediately asked.


    They wondered if they hadn''t put in the right amount of strength when massaging, making Zhao Feng uncomfortable and causing him to suddenly stand up. They were so scared that they were shaking.


    "I''m fine." Zhao Feng calmly smiled and laid back down.


    Zhao Feng was in no rush. He was confident that they would meet again soon.


    "Brother Feng, tomorrow is the annual examination. You have to be careful. Instructor Lin has been waiting for this chance...." Zhao Hai flatteringly said.


    Zhao Feng was a frequent truant and didn''t even go to the training ground. Instructor Lin could do nothing. After all, Zhao Feng was the city lord''s son.


    But the clan placed great significance on the annual examination. If Zhao Feng didn''t take part, his grades would be a disaster, and Instructor Lin could use the chance to inform his superiors.


    In truth, Zhao Hai also had an incredibly poor view of Zhao Feng''s prospects, and he was hoping to make fun of him when the time came. After all, he had been cowed into submission, but he was still incredibly confused. How was it that, even though he had a higher cultivation than Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng had still run circles around him and tied him up?


    "Examination?" Zhao Feng recalled that there really was such a thing, but he didn''t care that much.


    He was the reincarnation of a mighty Creator-level expert. Was he afraid of some simple examination? Zhao Feng continued his break.


    The next day, Zhao Feng came to class.


    "Eh? Who''s this? He''s rather handsome!" A girl wearing a floral gown stared at Zhao Feng.


    As Zhao Feng appeared far too rarely, many children of his age group hardly recognized him.


    "He''s the son of the city lord, but don''t be deceived by his looks. He''s got a silver whip at his waist, and I hear that he likes to tie people up with it and strip their clothes...."


    "Right, I also heard of something like that...."


    The girls gathered together and whispered to each other.


    Zhao Feng was able to hear their whispering the moment he came in, but he didn''t care, even intentionally flaunting the silver whip at his waist.


    The chattering girls immediately scattered in panic.


    A short while later, a muscular man walked in. This was Instructor Lin.


    Upon entering, Instructor Lin was taken aback by the sight of Zhao Feng, but he soon recalled that this was the city lord''s second son.


    He coldly laughed. It seemed like Zhao Feng did not dare to skip the examination, but what did that matter? He was sure that Zhao Feng knew nothing and would get the lowest score.


    All the other students soon arrived.


    Instructor Lin passed out the test papers and then gave a stern warning. "Begin the examination! If I catch anyone cheating, I''ll deduct twenty points from their grade!"


    The annual examination was divided into a written test and a combat test.


    The written examination primarily tested the student on the history of Southcloud City and the Azure Net Kingdom while also testing a student''s knowledge of cultivation.


    After giving this warning, Instructor Lin began to stroll around.


    Instructor Lin was a peak Star Origin Realm expert. If these little children tried to cheat, he would immediately know.


    The cultivation system of the Alakshana World was roughly similar to the Fan Universe''s. It was divided into the Body Refining Realm, the Ascendant Spirit Realm, the Three Qi Realm, the Star Origin Realm, the Divine Transformation Realm, the Imperishable Realm, the Nine Ranks of Chaos Heaven, the Three Heavens of Overflowing Origin, and the World Realm.


    Their corresponding levels in the Fan Universe were the Consolidated Realm, the Ascended Realm, the True Spirit Realm, the Origin Core Realm, the Void God Realm, the Mystic Light Realm, the Nine Ranks of True God, the Three Heavens of God Lord, and God.


    The peak Star Origin Realm Instructor Lin was an Origin Core Realm Sovereign Lord in the Fan Universe''s terms.


    The level of the dimension in which Southcloud City resided was extremely close to the Fan Universe''s Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. The majority of the children around Zhao Feng were at the Three Qi Realm, which was the True Spirit Realm of the Fan Universe.


    The True Spirit Realm was divided into True Human, True Mystic, and True Lord while the Three Qi Realm was divided into Azure Qi, Blue Qi, and Violet Qi.


    Zhao Feng had just reached the initial level of the Azure Qi Realm. He had the lowest cultivation in his group, but he was also the youngest.


    Zhao Feng took the test paper and scanned it.


    Too simple! As the city lord''s son, he could look through the rare book pavilion of the city whenever he pleased. Given his abilities, he had long ago memorized the contents of the entire library.


    Swish! Swish!


    Taking up his brush, Zhao Feng narrowed his eyes and began to write. About five minutes later, Zhao Feng put down his brush, closed his eyes, and took a nap.


    Instructor Lin coldly snorted. In his view, Zhao Feng so quickly put down his brush because he found the questions too hard. Not able to answer any of them, he had simply given up.


    But then his eyes froze. As Instructor Lin carefully examined Zhao Feng''s paper, he paled. Zhao Feng had finished all the questions, and with just a casual glance, he could tell that all the answers were completely correct.


    One had to realize that the children around him hadn''t even answered ten questions, and all their brows were furrowed in thought, but Zhao Feng was already finished!


    Even more shocking to Instructor Lin was that Zhao Feng''s writing had an alluring property. They seemed to contain profound secrets and principles that he could not comprehend!


    How could this be? He must be cheating! Instructor Lin inwardly howled.


    But how could a mere Azure Qi Realm child cheat right in front of him without him noticing? With no firm evidence, Instructor Lin did not dare to rashly accuse the city lord''s son.


    But if he wasn''t cheating, how could Zhao Feng have answered all the questions so quickly and so accurately? In fact, he seemed to have received one hundred percent.


    In this vexed and perturbed state, Instructor Lin suffered through the examination period.


    Once all the papers were collected, the group went to a special training ground. After the written test was the combat test.


    Ten gray metal passages had been set up on the giant training ground.


    "Next, when I read your name, step forward and enter the Automaton Passage. You will be graded based on your completion time!" Instructor Lin loudly announced.


    Martial artists prized strength, so the combat test was viewed with more importance than the written test.


    I underestimated this kid. He probably reads a lot of books normally, meaning that his knowledge is actually rather decent, but the combat test... Instructor Lin sinisterly chuckled to himself.


    Within the Automaton Passage were traps, arrays, and automatons. One would need true skill to get through it.


    Those automatons didn''t recognize people, so even if Zhao Feng was the city lord''s son, they would treat him like anyone else.


    "Zhao Wu! Zhao Hongliang! Zhao Qianling! ...Zhao Feng!" Instructor Lin called out ten names, Zhao Feng''s being one of them.


    The ten stepped forward. Some of the children were rather nervous, but Zhao Feng was calm and bored.


    The eyes of Zhao Feng''s subordinates flashed. They wanted to see just how strong Zhao Feng really was.


    Those who didn''t know Zhao Feng very well but had heard much of his infamy were quite happy to sit back and watch him fail.


    The ten quickly entered their Automaton Passages.


    A white light passed over Zhao Feng''s body, and then a mechanical voice announced, "Azure Qi Realm initial level!"


    The difficulty of the trial would adjust itself to one''s cultivation.


    There was a clicking and clanking from the passage. Many pitch-black and stiff figures emerged, and then all fell silent. "Automatons and traps, hm?" Zhao Feng smiled.


    He hadn''t focused much on cultivation in this life, but pill-refining, weapon-forging, automatons, traps... he had put significant research into these subjects.


    Zhao Feng nonchalantly walked in. The automatons in the dark passage immediately began to dance.


    In the training ground:


    "He''s able to do anything with his status as the city lord''s son, but just how good is he, really?"


    "He can''t pass! I bet that he will come out from the entrance!"


    Once Zhao Feng went in, many of the children began to chatter.


    Many of these didn''t know Zhao Feng very well and had only heard of his wicked deeds. Someone who was so evil at such a young age would naturally be rejected. However, many more of them were envious of Zhao Feng, as he didn''t need to cultivate or go to class and could do whatever he wanted.


    There''s an eighty percent chance that the kid doesn''t even come out.... Instructor Lin inwardly chuckled. He stepped forward, sending out his spiritual sense.


    If Zhao Feng couldn''t come out, he would still have to go in and save him. When the time came, he could savagely criticize Zhao Feng, and so even if Zhao Feng got one full points on the written test, he would get zero on the combat test, still putting him as the lowest scorer in the class.


    But as he sent out his spiritual sense, Instructor Lin realized that there was no one in the Automaton Passage!


    Why is there no one inside? Instructor Lin was shocked.


    At this moment:


    "Hey, Instructor Lin, how many points did I get?" A childish laughter rang out.


    Looking over, he saw Zhao Feng walking toward him.


    It turned out that when Instructor Lin went to inspect the passage, Zhao Feng had already passed!


    "No, you passed?" Instructor Lin was flabbergasted.


    The children in the back were struck dumb, their jaws agape in shock.


    "Haven''t I come out?" Zhao Feng smiled and put on an extremely confused look.


    "How did you get out?" Instructor Lin grimaced and immediately asked.


    Just how much time had passed? Martial artists of the same level would need at least fifteen minutes to get through the Automaton Passage.


    "I just slowly walked out...." Zhao Feng had an innocent and confused look on his face.


    In truth, after entering the Automaton Passage, Zhao Feng found the critical part that made all the traps and automaton inside stop functioning until the entire thing was restarted.


    Instructor Lin was speechless. He no longer understood how to interact with this seven-year-old child, but he also couldn''t have Zhao Feng go through it again. That would mean that he suspected Zhao Feng of cheating, which was not something he wanted to do without firm evidence, given Zhao Feng''s status.


    "The test is over! I''m tired. I''m going to rest now." Zhao Feng stretched and quickly left.


    Instructor Lin was speechless. In his view, Zhao Feng had just randomly scribbled out his written test and casually strolled through the combat test. How could he be tired?


    The group waited for another fifteen minutes, upon which the most talented of the ten, Zhao Qianling, emerged, his red face brimming with excitement.


    One day after the examination was over, the grades were released. The city lord''s second son, Zhao Feng, had gotten a perfect score on his first examination, shocking all of the Zhao Clan and Southcloud City.


    The many young martial and scholarly prodigies of the Zhao Clan were all given a sharp stimulation by this event.


    "Brother Feng, your little brother is willing to serve at your beck and call. Please, you have to teach me your secret techniques!" Zhao Hai had an excited look on his face as he massaged Zhao Feng''s legs.


    "Brother Feng, if you need anything in the future, please, just ask! Your little brother will walk through fire to serve you."


    Those children who had only followed Zhao Feng out of fear immediately changed their attitude and worked without complaint. Doing nothing for the entire day, just eating, drinking, and playing without cultivating, and still getting a perfect score. Just what child didn''t want such a thing...?


    Some of the children even request to join Zhao Feng''s posse, but they were pushed away by the older crowd of lackeys. Six years went by in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Feng was now fourteen.


    On this day, the Dream Origin in Zhao Feng''s soul trembled once more with incredible intensity.


    "It''s nearby!" Zhao Feng immediately got up and left the city lord estate.


    "Brother Feng, where are you going?"


    "Brother Feng, where do you plan to go playing this time?"


    A group of youths hastily followed. These former lackeys were now nearing twenty years of age, but they were still willing to attend to Zhao Feng.

 1576 The Greedy Thieving Ca

    t


    Chapter 1576 - The Greedy Thieving Cat


    Southcloud City was the most prosperous city for tens of millions of li. The city was immense and had buildings in all sorts of styles. They were studded with countless pearls and jewels that shone with dazzling light.


    "Brother Feng, if you like anything, just tell your little brother!" Zhao Yun''s cheerful voice came from the side.


    These little brothers had all reached the Violet Qi Realm of the Three Qi Realm, and the most talented, Zhao Hai, had even reached the initial level of the Star Origin Realm. Meanwhile, they sensed that Zhao Feng was only at the Blue Qi Realm of the Three Qi Realm.


    Even so, the group was still completely subservient to Zhao Feng. One could only say that Zhao Feng was an excellent guide.


    In Southcloud City, there was no one who did not know of Zhao Feng''s name.


    Many shop keepers immediately paled upon seeing Zhao Feng and his posse. They hadn''t interacted very much with Zhao Feng, but they all knew of his infamous deeds. To outsiders, these young masters were definitely hedonistic good-for-nothings, and what made them even more afraid was that the city lord''s son was said to be fond of tying up the people who provoked them and taking off their clothes.


    Zhao Feng closed his eyes. Within his soul, his Dream Origin was constantly trembling. This trembling was a reaction to his Dream Mark.


    Upon arriving at the Alakshana World, Zhao Feng had left Dream Marks on the souls of Liu Qinxin, Zhao Yufei, and the little thieving cat.


    "It seems to be in Southcloud City!" Elated, Zhao Feng continued forward.


    With the response from his Dream Origin, Zhao Feng could track down the exact location of the Dream Mark.


    As he turned here and there, the reaction from the Dream Mark intensified.


    As Zhao Feng passed by an elegantly constructed restaurant, he stopped.


    An azure-robed elder missing an arm was eating and drinking at a table by the window. Across from the elder was a little silver-black cat with shining jewel-like eyes.


    "Little thieving cat!" One glance was enough for Zhao Feng to be sure that this was the little thieving cat.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat jumped around on the table and the elder would occasionally smile. He was apparently rather amused by the cat''s movements.


    Does it already have a master? Zhao Feng thought to himself.


    But this didn''t matter. When he wanted something, he would get it.


    Just when Zhao Feng was about to enter the restaurant, the cat jumped out of the window and fled.


    "Thieving cat!" The little thieving cat was fleeing in Zhao Feng''s direction, so he moved to stop it.


    The other youths saw Zhao Feng moving to stop the cat and immediately moved to surround it.


    Meooow!


    The little thieving cat raised its head, waved its claws, and meowed. It put on a cute and innocent look that made the other youths let down their guard. A moment later, the little thieving cat found a gap and fled.


    However, the little thieving cat realized that, just when it was about to escape the encirclement, a person stood in its way: Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng smiled as he stared at the little thieving cat.


    For some reason, the little thieving cat felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and also fear, from this staring youth. Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat suddenly shook its head and nervously tried to flee.


    At this moment, a powerful energy erupted from the restaurant. The elder with only one arm flew out in an azure flash. "Damn cat!" The elder glared furiously at the nearby cat.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng understood that this man was not the little thieving cat''s master, and he also understood why the little thieving cat was in such a rush to flee.


    The Zhao Clan youths next to Zhao Feng all shivered. This elder possessed a dreadful energy, and even though the elder was intentionally suppressing it, it still made their blood freeze.


    The elder instantly rushed up to the little thieving cat''s side, an invisible energy wrapping around the little thieving cat and rendering it incapable of movement.


    "Damn thieving cat, you actually dared to steal this old man''s things!? This old man will cut your stomach open!"


    The azure-robed elder''s face was cold and stern, and the killing intent he exuded alarmed many people in the area. Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat''s eyes were wide open as it put on a pitiful expression.


    But the elder was clearly not some kind person, and the expression on his face did not change.


    Swish!


    The elder produced a green jade sword, three feet and two inches long while gleaming with cold light.


    The little thieving cat sensed the old man''s killing intent and its hairs stood on end. It knew that it had offended someone that it couldn''t afford to.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat glared at Zhao Feng and yowled. If not for the interference of Zhao Feng''s posse, it would have easily escaped, and Southcloud City was so large that the elder would have never been able to find it.


    "Good Sir, stop! This is my cat!" Zhao Feng suddenly declared.


    The little thieving cat froze, and then it put on a grateful expression.


    Zhao Feng was inwardly speechless. This cat changed expressions far too quickly, and though it had reincarnated, its avaricious nature had not changed at all. In fact, it had become even bolder.


    "And what does it matter if it''s yours?" The elder glanced at Zhao Feng and disdainfully spat.


    This was nothing more than a child. As they said, newborn calves didn''t fear tigers. This boy actually wanted to save a cat from his sword?


    "Now this will be fun! The city lord''s son has taken a liking to this cat!"


    "This azure-robed elder has a rather profound cultivation, and he doesn''t seem like an easy person to deal with. And I recognize this cat. It came here last year. Is it really the Second Young Master''s pet?"


    The surrounding crowd began to gossip.


    From the energy and killing intent exuded by this elder, he was definitely a powerhouse.


    But Zhao Feng''s status was also extraordinary.


    The azure-robed elder was listening to the chatter of the crowd and came to understand Zhao Feng''s status. Normally, he might have yielded. After all, the Zhao Clan of Southcloud City was the strongest clan in the area, and Zhao Feng''s father, Zhao Tianlong, was a peak Imperishable Realm expert.


    A peak Imperishable Realm expert was a Mystic Light Realm Sacred King of the Fan Universe.


    But this thieving cat had swallowed an extremely important object of the elder''s, so he could not let the matter go.


    "It''s mine, so you''re not allowed to harm a hair on its head," Zhao Feng slowly approached as he calmly declared.


    "Brother Feng!" Zhao Yun, Zhao Hai, and the others called out.


    They could tell at a glance that this elder wasn''t someone to mess with. Although this was the territory of the Zhao Clan, this cat clearly wasn''t Zhao Feng''s pet, and Zhao Feng had very little ground to stand on.


    The elder''s eyes gleamed with surprise as he stared at Zhao Feng.


    "This brat..." The elder suddenly felt like he couldn''t see through this child of weaker cultivation.


    But he couldn''t just yield like some child, and he could not let this cat go.


    "I advise Young Master to not involve yourself in this affair. If you want a cat, this old man will give you several," the azure-robed elder coldly said.


    With these words, not only did he not back down, he also promised to reward Zhao Feng.


    At the same time, the elder released his energy, hoping to intimidate this boy. An oppressive and sharp energy radiated from his body. The crowd, feeling a painful stabbing pressure on their skin, was forced to back away.


    "This man is at least peak Star Origin Realm, and he''s also a Sword Dao expert!" someone called out in alarm.


    Zhao Feng continued to advance steadily, his expression unperturbed.


    It seems like this little energy isn''t enough to frighten this city lord''s son. The elder''s eyes flashed as he began to exude an even more powerful energy.


    Divine Transformation initial level! This was the equivalent of the Fan Universe''s Void God Realm King.


    But Zhao Feng remained unperturbed as if he was completely unaffected.


    The elder clenched his teeth and released even more energy.


    Divine Transformation middle level!


    Divine Transformation peak!


    Complete Divine Transformation!


    Only one step from the Imperishable Realm!


    If the elder reached the Imperishable Realm, he would be considered a regional expert that not even the Zhao Clan could look down on.


    At this moment, the pressure of a complete Divine Transformation expert radiated from the elder''s body. And the elder was controlling this energy very well; he killed no one, only intimidated them.


    Boom!


    The spectators hastily retreated. A complete Divine Transformation expert of the Sword Dao was so powerful that even their souls ached.


    The nearby little thieving cat shuddered, completely struck dumb by fear.


    But the closer Zhao Feng was completely unaffected.


    Is this kid wearing some supreme-quality defensive divine artifact? the azure-robed elder pondered, and he released his Spiritual Sense so that he might inspect Zhao Feng.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng spoke; "You want to scare me?"


    The azure-robed elder stared in shock at Zhao Feng''s eyes. A moment later, his body froze and his soul shivered.


    The elder suddenly sensed an indescribable bearing from Zhao Feng, like that of a king looking down upon the world, a being that could not be defied. When he looked into Zhao Feng''s eyes, he felt his mind going blank. Now that he looked again, the elder felt like he was looking up at the youth.


    Without realizing it, the elder began to withdraw his energy.


    The crowd was stunned. The elder seemed to grow afraid after looking at Zhao Feng''s eyes, and his pressure had completely vanished.


    At this moment, the elder''s eyes flashed. As he looked at this boy, he felt an inexplicable unease.


    "Damn it! I don''t believe the Zhao Clan will start a problem with me over a single cat!" the elder cursed. How embarrassing was it to be frightened by a mere child?


    But before the elder could strike, Zhao Feng spoke, "If you kill this cat, no one in Southcloud City will help you refine a Soul Origin Purging Pill."


    It was basically a whisper, but someone of the elder''s profound cultivation could hear it loud and clear.


    His mind exploded.


    How did he know that I was looking for a pill refiner? And how did he know that I needed a Soul Origin Purging Pill? The azure-robed elder did not voice his shocked questions.


    "In addition, without the Soul Origin Purging Pill, your wounds will never completely heal, and your cultivation will stop at the Imperishable Realm," Zhao Feng added before the elder could say anything else.


    This time, the azure-robed elder''s mind simply went blank from the complete shock. This child had actually realized his true cultivation level.


    Yes, this azure-robed elder was at the Imperishable Realm, but a perilous battle had led his cultivation to fall to the Divine Transformation Realm. However, he could still exude the powerful energy of his original cultivation level.


    Moreover, to avoid the pursuit of his enemies, he had changed his appearance and concealed his aura, even sealing his cultivation to the Star Origin Realm. This was the only reason the thieving cat was able to steal his pill ingredients.


    "I was just joking with Young Master. I didn''t think that Young Master would possess such divine courage and be so resolved before danger. This old man must express his sincere admiration!"


    The elder''s sword vanished, as did the seal on the little thieving cat.


    The crowd was flabbergasted. No one had expected this abrupt turn.


    The little thieving cat''s mouth was agape. This elder''s cultivation was simply too terrifying. Even though it had been released, it still did not dare to run.


    Thwish!


    It immediately went up to Zhao Feng and began to act like his pet.


    Behind Zhao Feng, Zhao Yun, Zhao Hai, and the others were slack-jawed and wide-eyed. Although they didn''t know what happened, they now regarded Zhao Feng with absolute admiration.


    ¡°This one almost injured Young Master''s cat! Please, allow me to repent by treating you to a meal!" The azure-robed elder gestured at the restaurant and offered.

 1577 Personally Refining a Pill

    Chapter 1577 - Personally Refining a Pill


    The reversal in the azure-robed elder''s attitude had all the spectators surprised. Some of them even gave scornful smiles. In the end, this elder had still yielded. The elder clearly had some grudge and was completely unwilling to back down, but now, his attitude had completely turned around, and he was smiling at the arrogant Zhao Feng.


    Those of lower cultivation couldn''t see the truth, but as Southcloud City was the most prosperous city in the area, many experts had gathered here. Quite a few of them noticed that Zhao Feng had whispered something to the elder before his sudden change in attitude.


    Zhao Feng''s party entered the restaurant and seated themselves at the elder''s table. A waiter immediately delivered a few more sets of chopsticks, cups, and bowls.


    "This old man drinks a toast to Young Master!" The elder raised his cup and drank it down.


    Seeing that the situation was resolved, the crowd began to disperse. Inwardly, they sighed in wonder at the fact that an expert many levels above Zhao Feng had chosen to bend the knee and put on a smiling face.


    After drinking the wine, the azure-robed elder coldly stared at Zhao Feng.


    "Junior, how did you know who I was?" The elder spoke so softly that his words were nigh inaudible.


    He was the number one prodigy of the Azure City Sword Sect in the last one thousand years, Huo Qingfeng. However, several months ago, the Azure City Sword Sect was encircled and annihilated by an enemy faction. The sword sect''s elders had sacrificed their lives to get him to safety, but Huo Qingfeng was still pursued by the forces of that enemy faction, and he only managed to get to this place with heavy injuries.


    His old man form was merely a disguise. In his view, Zhao Feng definitely knew of his real identity, allowing him to guess that he was injured and needed medicine.


    "What could be so difficult about such a minor matter?" Zhao Feng confidently smiled as he sipped his wine.


    He had no idea who this old man was, but Huo Qingfeng probably wouldn''t believe him if he said as much. Of course, if he really wanted to know who this old man was, it truly would be quite simple.


    Huo Qingfeng''s cold eyes gleamed with disdain. He clearly believed that Zhao Feng thought too highly of himself. Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat immediately began to shout and gesture as if in praise of Zhao Feng. At present, only by following Zhao Feng could it survive.


    The little thieving cat had spent some time in Southcloud City, so it knew a little about Zhao Feng''s status. Since Zhao Feng wanted to make it his pet, the little thieving cat would follow Zhao Feng. Perhaps it could even steal some of the treasures of the city lord''s estate.


    "Young Master, I can give you the cat, but please assist me with my problem!" Huo Qingfeng ceased wasting time with Zhao Feng and got straight to the point.


    You want me to help you by extracting the object the cat stole from you and finding a person to refine a Soul Origin Purging Pill for you?" Zhao Feng directly asked. If his guess was correct, the thieving cat had probably stolen the ingredients for the Soul Origin Purging Pill. Otherwise, the elder would not have been in such a rush.


    "The Soul Origin Purging Pill?" Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun were both shocked. Wasn''t this a legendary Grade Six high- class medicine? Not even the city lord''s estate had many medicines at this level.


    At this moment, they finally realized that this Huo Qingfeng was much more formidable than they had imagined.


    In the Alakshana World, medicines were divided into grades that corresponded to cultivation levels. A Grade Six was equivalent to the Imperishable Realm.


    They felt even more admiration for Zhao Feng now. He was actually able to make someone like Huo Qingfeng calm down and greet him with a smile.


    "However, the Soul Origin Purging Pill is a Grade Six high-class medicine. There are few pill refiners in Southcloud City capable of making it, and the quality and chances of success won''t be very high...." Zhao Feng slightly shook his head.


    Huo Qingfeng''s eyes dimmed. He naturally understood, but he had to take a bet. Otherwise, his body and soul would remain wounded, and his path on the road of martial arts would probably end here.


    This thought caused Huo Qingfeng''s heart to seethe with anger and killing intent. He wanted to take revenge, not live his life in fear, constantly fleeing from his pursuers.


    "But I have a way of getting you a high-quality Soul Origin Purging Pill," Zhao Feng suddenly said.


    Huo Qingfeng immediately raised his head, his eyes washed clean of disappointment, killing intent, and anger.


    Soul Origin Purging Pills of ordinary quality could not completely cure his injuries, but high-quality pills had a chance.


    "If Young Master needs anything, please speak!" Huo Qingfeng''s face returned to normal, and he profoundly stared at Zhao Feng. He realized that this boy was incredibly unusual.


    "I''ll give you one chance. Become my servant," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    Zhao Yun''s and Zhao Hai''s eyes flew open, their hearts leaping to their throats. Zhao Feng had actually made such a demand of this peerless expert!?


    Even if Zhao Feng was the son of the city lord, he couldn''t possibly have a servant of the Divine Transformation Realm, let alone the Imperishable Realm.


    "Are you playing around with me?" Huo Qingfeng was enraged, his voice turning cold and deadly.


    A mere child wanted an Imperishable Realm expert to be his servant? What a joke!


    He coldly stared at Zhao Feng. If this child refused to be tactful, he would simply kill him, take his medicine ingredients, and flee.


    Zhao Yun and Zhao Hai sensed Huo Qingfeng''s killing intent and began to shiver in fear.


    The little thieving cat was also so frightened that it hid behind Zhao Feng. For some reason, it felt very safe like this.


    "I will talk alone with this old man. Wait for me here." Zhao Feng looked at the Zhao Clan youths at his side.


    "Brother Feng, you..." Zhao Yun''s voice was shaking, but before he could finish, he was cowed into silence by Huo Qingfeng.


    "Follow me. I''ll help you out with the pill, and then you can consider my proposal." Zhao Feng calmly looked at Huo Qingfeng.


    "Okay." Huo Qingfeng remained suspicious, but he also wasn''t worried that Zhao Feng would play some kind of trick.


    With Zhao Feng next to him, even if the city lord of Southcloud City came, he wouldn''t dare to do anything reckless.


    Before he left, Zhao Feng picked up the little thieving cat, who was playing dead, and then he proceeded to make his way out of the city.


    Huo Qingfeng''s face darkened. This kid was going alone out of the city. Was he not afraid that he would kill him and the cat, take the ingredients, and flee?


    Of course, Zhao Feng''s arrogant demand from before wasn''t enough for Huo Qingfeng to do something like that. After all, there was a chance that Zhao Feng could indeed get him a high-quality Soul Origin Purging Pill.


    The two men and the cat soon arrived at a small river on the north side of the city. The trees here were lush and the people few, making it a rather secluded spot.


    "You said that you would give me the pill, so why are we here?" Huo Qingfeng suspiciously asked.


    To refine the pill," Zhao Feng immediately answered, taking out a dragon-shaped violet cauldron covered in intricate designs from his interspatial dimension.


    "...you''re going to refine a Soul Origin Purging Pill for me?" After a moment of stupefied silence, Huo Qingfeng realized what was going on and paled.


    The city lord''s son wasn''t the typical arrogant boy. He was so arrogant that his audacity would cause the heavens themselves to blush.


    A Soul Origin Purging Pill was a Grade Six high-class medicine. An ordinary Grade Six Pill refiner didn''t have even a ten percent chance of successfully refining one, and the most talented of these pill refiners were at least five hundred years old, but the majority were several thousand, even ten thousand years old. But this teenager was saying that he would refine a Grade Six pill?


    Huo Qingfeng''s face went cold. If this was really what Zhao Feng intended, he might as well just kill this swindling boy and cat.


    The little thieving cat trembled. This boy was clearly suicidal, and it would probably go down with him.


    "Little thieving cat!" Zhao Feng sternly extended a finger and jabbed it at the center of the cat''s brow.


    The cat found this form of address incredibly familiar, and Zhao Feng''s finger moved with deceptive speed. Before it could even try to move, Zhao Feng''s finger had struck.


    A nigh imperceptible dream-colored point of light enter the little thieving cat''s soul and into the depths of its memories.


    A moment later, the little thieving cat froze and began to crazily shiver.


    Huo Qingfeng stared. What caused the cat to suddenly end up like this? The more he stared, the more Huo Qingfeng realized that this cat had undergone a major transformation, but he couldn''t say exactly what it was.


    Suddenly, a crafty light appeared in the little thieving cat''s eyes.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng''s shoulder and began to affectionately nuzzle him.


    "Hurry and take out the pill ingredients." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    After taking the ingredients from its mouth, the little thieving cat stared at Huo Qingfeng and smiled.


    "Mm?" Huo Qingfeng''s face turned grim. This time, he could no longer see any fear in the cat''s eyes, only an inexplicable derision.


    The cat that he could have casually killed earlier now felt like it was capable of crawling onto his head.


    What did the kid do just now? Huo Qingfeng grimaced as he looked at Zhao Feng. Just now, Zhao Feng simply thrust a finger at the cat''s forehead, but this had effected an invisible transformation on the cat.


    As Huo Qingfeng turned to look, he saw that Zhao Feng had already begun to refine the pill.


    "My Soul Origin Purging Pill!" Huo Qingfeng called out.


    He had already decided that if Zhao Feng really was going to refine the pill, he would kill him, but the change in the little thieving cat had caused him to forget Zhao Feng''s movements for a few moments, allowing Zhao Feng to start the process.


    What could a teenager know about pill refining? Even the pill refining masters of Southcloud City could not guarantee a high chance of success, but at least there was a thin sliver of hope there. If this child refined the pill for him though, there was no hope at all!


    But Huo Qingfeng was suddenly entranced by Zhao Feng''s pill-refining method. He smoothly handled the ingredients, even doing two things at once, grinding and refining at the same time. At a glance, he seemed like a grandmaster.


    Even though he didn''t understand pill refining, Huo Qingfeng was entranced.


    Could this kid really be a pill refining master...? Huo Qingfeng was uncertain.


    This boy had given him too many surprises, more than he usually encountered in a single year.


    At this moment, a dark blue smoke began to emerge from the violet cauldron. Just by breathing it in, Huo Qingfeng felt his body tremble in relief, a cold and clean sensation in his soul.


    "He really can...!" Huo Qingfeng''s face shifted again and again, and he stared hopefully at Zhao Feng.


    He speculated that there was something unusual about this boy. He could even be the reincarnation of an expert of the Nine Ranks of Chaos Heaven, or perhaps was possessed by some master.


    After reincarnating into this world, Zhao Feng had researched a great deal about pill refining, even trying his hand at refining pills. However, the highest pill he had refined was a Grade Five. He had never refined a Grade Six, but that was more because the level of ingredients was too high to easily gather. Now that Huo Qingfeng had delivered a set of ingredients to his doorstep, Zhao Feng was eager to try his hand.


    Bzzz!


    Blue light erupted from the violet cauldron, and the refreshing fragrance emerging from it caused the nearby plants to tremble and grow faster.


    Huo Qingfeng was growing more and more excited. He sensed that the pill within the cauldron was about to take form. But at this moment:


    Boom! Bang!


    A muffled boom came from the cauldron. The lid was sent flying to the side, and black smoke began to rise.


    The scorched remnants of the pill revealed themselves to Huo Qingfeng''s eyes.


    Failure. Zhao Feng shook his head. He had never refined Grade Six medicines before. Failing on his first time was rather normal.


    But behind him, Huo Qingfeng''s face turned cold and sinister.


    This kid was definitely playing around with him! Those smooth and practiced movements were all an act!


    To think that he had believed that this kid was some master, the reincarnation of an expert! What a joke!


    A terrifying Sword Dao energy began to radiate from Huo Qingfeng''s body, surging toward Zhao Feng.


    "Hold on! It hasn''t failed yet!" Zhao Feng immediately shouted.


    He hastily picked up the lid and put it back on the cauldron.


    Huo Qingfeng couldn''t see a strange energy pulsing within Zhao Feng''s soul.


    "Nonsense! I''ll take your life today, brat!" Huo Qingfeng cursed. He had suffered far too great a loss due to this boy. The pill had blackened and burst apart, and this kid was still trying to fool him? He would never believe Zhao Feng''s words.


    "Success!" Zhao Feng immediately took away the lid.


    A dark blue light erupted from within, bringing with it a faint and refreshingly cold energy.


    Huo Qingfeng froze, his eyes going wide. He stared at the three dark blue pills in the cauldron, his mind in complete turmoil.

 1578 A Beautiful Woman for a Master

    Chapter 1578 - A Beautiful Woman for a Master


    As Huo Qingfeng stared at the three dark blue pills exuding cold light and medicinal scent, he was sure that these were Grade Six pills.


    But this was not what he was shocked about. The pill had clearly just exploded into a pile of blackened shards. It was definitely a failure, but when Zhao Feng closed the lid and took it off again, three complete Soul Origin Purging Pills had miraculously appeared.


    How was this possible? Huo Qingfeng''s understanding of the world was completely overturned. He found it impossible to understand what was going on. Did he see an illusion? He truly didn''t get it.


    And even if he put that matter aside, Zhao Feng couldn''t possibly have refined a Grade Six high-class medicine!


    After linking together all the various things that happened, Huo Qingfeng finally understood that this child was not at all what he seemed!


    Young Master, what happened just now?" Huo Qingfeng cautiously asked.


    "Cough, cough... the scorched pill you saw before was just an illusion. I just wanted to see your character, but, alas..." Zhao Feng dryly coughed, and then he spoke of character and righteousness like he was an old man before finishing with a disappointed sigh.


    In reality, the refining had indeed failed, but there was no need to talk about that. Otherwise, the secret of his Dream Origin would be exposed.


    "An illusion!?" Huo Qingfeng''s mind was shaken.


    There was this possibility. Otherwise, how could the blackened pill become a successful product?


    Moreover, given that Zhao Feng was able to refine a Grade Six high-class medicine, he had to possess an unimaginable understanding of the Pill Dao. Perhaps he had created a fragrance that could create illusions while refining the pill. How else would he have produced the illusion?


    Huo Qingfeng was sure of one thing though: this child was simply unfathomable. And that cat, after encountering Zhao Feng, had also become enigmatic and inexplicable.


    At this moment, Huo Qingfeng saw Zhao Feng''s disappointed look. It was clear that the killing intent he had revealed upon seeing the failure caused Zhao Feng to be disappointed in his character.


    "Young Master... Senior, this one lost himself in a moment of impulse. Please forgive me!" Huo Qingfeng immediately blurted out. He was so sure that Zhao Feng was the reincarnation of an expert or possessed by one that he had even changed his form of address.


    Moreover, this boy had the ability to refine a Soul Origin Purging Pill, making him a Grade Six pill refiner at the minimum. He naturally felt a little embarrassed and felt like he had to explain himself.


    "Mm, seeing how sincere you are, you can now consider my offer from before." Zhao Feng placed his hands behind his back and put on an indifferent face. He began to exude a profound demeanor.


    There was no need for him to feign anything. In his last life, Zhao Feng was a Creator-level expert, so he already possessed the demeanor and bearing of an expert.


    The little thieving cat stood on his shoulder and tried to seem extremely wise. It clearly regarded itself as being incredibly special.


    Huo Qingfeng was no longer enraged. Instead, he began to carefully consider the offer.


    He was now sure that this boy had unfathomable depths to him, and he could not be judged from what was visible on the surface. Moreover, even though Zhao Feng knew what his cultivation level was at his peak, he still said the same thing. It was clear that this boy possessed a great deal of confidence.


    If I follow him, I''ll definitely be able to take revenge and rebuild the Azure City Sword Sect! Huo Qingfeng said to himself.


    But he was a prodigy of the Imperishable Realm. It was truly rather unsightly to be the servant of a thirteen-year-old boy.


    "Only by suffering humiliation and bearing heavy burdens can one go on to perform great things. I only offered to make you my servant because I saw that your talent wasn''t bad. And if you do well in the future, I won''t treat you poorly...." Zhao Feng added. He even seemed ready to leave, apparently not caring that much about Huo Qingfeng.


    After all, he was someone who had lived for several hundred years. Zhao Feng had managed to pull off a very convincing act.


    "Senior, please hold!" Huo Qingfeng''s body trembled for a few moments, then he extended a hand and called out to Zhao Feng.


    In the end, Huo Qingfeng made his choice.


    He needed to avenge himself and rebuild his sect, needed to live life out in the open. In order for this to happen, he needed to make a few sacrifices. Zhao Feng was clearly an unfathomable figure, and also an opportunity!


    "A contract for one hundred years. After one hundred years, you''re free to go where you want." Zhao Feng threw out a contract scroll.


    Huo Qingfeng truly did possess a decent level of talent. In this current stage, he could help Zhao Feng handle a few matters. Thus, Zhao Feng only asked for his services for one hundred years.


    "One hundred years?" Huo Qingfeng immediately signed the contract.


    For martial artists, one hundred years was neither too long nor too short.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng smiled and returned with Huo Qingfeng to Southcloud City.


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat turned and gestured. It was apparently saying that it was fine if it was addressed as Master Cat.


    "There''s no need for you to disguise yourself in the future! No one will dare to touch one of my people!" Zhao Feng saw that Huo Qingfeng was still keeping up his old man disguise and immediately ordered.


    Huo Qingfeng shivered. These words were truly too domineering and confident. Huo Qingfeng was sure now that his decision was the correct one.


    No one wanted to live their life with a fake face. The skin on Huo Qingfeng"s face began to wriggle and shed, and a few moments later, a youth with sharp brows and bright eyes, exuding an intimidating aura, was revealed. But there was still a faint sorrow hanging about him, an aura that made his disguise as an old man not as ill-suited as it would seem.


    Zhao Yun, Zhao Hai, and the others were still waiting for Zhao Feng at the restaurant.


    "Brother Feng, where did that wicked old man go? Did he do anything to you?"


    "If he dared to touch Brother Feng, the Zhao Clan will never let him go!"


    The Zhao Clan youths immediately began to flatter Zhao Feng.


    "This is him. He was just in disguise before," Zhao Feng glanced at Huo Qingfeng behind him and nonchalantly said.


    The youths were immediately speechless, staring in a daze at Huo Qingfeng.


    Huo Qingfeng''s eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. He seemed to be able to see through the hearts of all these youths, and his glare made it difficult for them to breathe.


    Of course, Huo Qingfeng naturally wouldn''t injure Zhao Feng''s relatives, nor would he bother himself with some children.


    "Young Master, this one will take his leave!" Midway, Huo Qingfeng, following Zhao Feng''s instructions, said farewell.


    In order to not draw the suspicion of his father and mother, Zhao Feng did not plan to have Huo Qingfeng enter the city lord''s estate. He would have him live in the vicinity so that Zhao Feng could promptly come over if Huo Qingfeng''s enemies paid a visit.


    Huo Qingfeng rented a cultivation chamber near the city lord''s estate.


    Once he was inside, he took out the three dark blue pills with excitement.


    Gulp!


    After taking the pills, Huo Qingfeng began to cultivate and treat his wounds. He instantly felt an extremely soothing liquid flowing through his body, seeping into his bones, organs, and soul, miraculously healing his wounds.


    This pill''s quality is... perfect!" Huo Qingfeng''s mind was shaken.


    As the prodigy of a sect, he had consumed many kinds of medicines.


    Medicines were divided by the level of effect as well as grade. From lowest to greatest effect, medicines were divided into flawed, low-quality, best-quality, apex, and perfect. Flawed medicines could only exhibit ten to thirty percent of the medicinal effect while perfect medicines could exhibit one hundred percent of the medicinal effect.


    "A grandmaster! Definitely a grandmaster of the Pill Dao!" Huo Qingfeng shouted in glee.


    Once the party returned to the city lord''s estate, they split up to do their own things. Zhao Feng, meanwhile, went to prepare a few things.


    The little thieving cat spent every day roaming around the city lord''s estate, definitely stealing a few things along the way.


    Now that it had awakened all its memories, the cat''s level of thievery was so high that probably only Imperishable Realm experts could notice anything. Moreover, the little thieving cat put on an adorable face, winning the favor of many people in the city lord''s estate. This allowed it to commit its thefts with even greater ease.


    One day, Zhao Feng''s father and mother paid a visit.


    "Father, Mother, for what reason have you come to visit?" Zhao Feng opened the gate to greet them, a smile on his face.


    But besides his parents, there was a person that he didn''t recognize. This was a woman with a beautiful and graceful appearance. She appeared to be incredibly well-accomplished and was inspecting Zhao Feng.


    "Feng''er, how has your cultivation been doing lately?" Zhao Tianlong concernedly asked.


    As the patriarch of the clan, he was naturally worried about Zhao Feng''s cultivation. After all, Zhao Feng would inherit his position one day.


    Although Zhao Feng scored excellently during the annual examinations, his cultivation level wasn''t that high.


    "Your child has reached the peak of the Blue Qi Realm," Zhao Feng flatly replied.


    Zhao Tianlong said nothing. A fourteen-year-old at the peak of the Blue QI Realm was considered average among the descendants of the clan, and it was rather lacking for children of the main branch.


    "Feng''er, this is a new teacher your father found for you. In the future, you will practice cultivation with her!" Zhao Tianlong glanced at the woman next to him and introduced her.


    Zhao Feng''s parents knew that Zhao Feng did not like being restricted and rarely went to the training ground to spar with his peers. However, they had also taken note of Zhao Feng''s grades and conduct, so they felt their child might be hiding his strength.


    This new teacher was meant to both instruct Zhao Feng and also determine his true strength.


    "Feng''er, don''t look down on Tingyu! She''s twenty-seven, but she''s already a peak Divine Transformation martial artist!" Zhao Feng''s mother genially smiled.


    The two of them soon left. As the clan patriarch, Zhao Tianlong was very busy. Moreover, he felt at ease now that he had entrusted his son to Song Tingyu.


    Song Tingyu was the prodigy of the Song Clan, a clan based around Southcloud City, and her talent and cultivation had far surpassed the males of the Song Clan, allowing her to become the number one of her generation.


    "You''re called Zhao Feng, right? In the future, I''ll be your master. My name is Song Tingyu!" Song Tingyu smiled.


    "Hold on! Father and Mother told you to teach me, but not just anybody can become my master. Let me see if you have the ability first," Zhao Feng chuckled and immediately replied.


    This girl actually wanted to become the master of a Creator-level expert? That was just a little too much!


    Song Tingyu was rather surprised, but then she smiled and appeared to brush aside the comment. In her view, this was just the pride of a young master and a very normal affair. Song Tingyu would win his admiration through her skill.


    "Okay then. How do you want me to prove that I can be your master?" Song Tingyu smiled. She would not grow vexed and bothered over some naughty child.


    "A master naturally must possess extraordinary insight. They have to be able to identify a disciple''s mistakes in cultivation and shortcomings in martial arts," Zhao Feng straightened up and said.


    "Correct!" Song Tingyu nodded. This was truly what a good master needed.


    However, she was a peak Divine Transformation expert. Even if her insight was somewhat lacking, she was still more than enough to teach Zhao Feng.


    Teacher, let me ask, how long do you think I will need to break into the Violet Qi Realm?" Zhao Feng spread open his arms and allowed Song Tingyu to carefully examine him.


    "You''ve only converted ten percent of your Blue Spirit energy to Violet Spirit energy. If you cultivate by yourself and don''t take any medicines, you will need at least ten days," Song Tingyu finally concluded after a long period of observation.


    In truth, she believed that Zhao Feng would need a month. Her current estimate was based on Zhao Feng having a high level of talent. Moreover, she was sure that Zhao Feng was not hiding his cultivation.


    "Okay! I will begin cultivating to see if Teacher''s insight is accurate." Zhao Feng turned and left, apparently to go and cultivate.


    Song Tingyu nonchalantly smiled. Zhao Feng couldn''t possibly break into the Violet Qi Realm in ten days.


    However, Zhao Feng had just crossed over the threshold when his body began to pulse with energy, and a violet aura began to radiate from his body.

 1579 Zhao Feng Takes a Disciple

    Chapter 1579 - Zhao Feng Takes a Disciple


    Song Tingyu smiled as she watched Zhao Feng leave. Her heart was brimming with confidence. But just as Zhao Feng crossed the threshold, a thick violet energy began to rise from his body, and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in the room began to converge around him.


    "This is..." Song Tingyu was struck dumb. When she inspected Zhao Feng''s energy source just now, she was sure that only ten percent of his Blue Spirit energy had been converted into Violet Spirit energy.


    But the concentration of the violet energy Zhao Feng exuded was indicative of at least thirty percent, no, forty percent. The violet energy was thickening, and it engulfed Zhao Feng''s surroundings like a fog. His body became hazy and enigmatic, and looking at it would make one feel absent-minded.


    When Song Tingyu looked at Zhao Feng''s back, she had the misperception that she was looking upon some unimaginably powerful expert.


    She quickly got ahold of herself, but once she did, she saw something even more astonishing. Zhao Feng''s Violet Spirit energy was now completely pure, one hundred percent converted.


    Upon sending out her Spiritual Sense, Song Tingyu paled, her mind almost crashing.


    "Just now... what happened?" Song Tingyu softly muttered.


    In just a few moments, Zhao Feng had directly reached the Violet Qi Realm!


    She just said that Zhao Feng would need at least ten days to break through if he didn''t take any medicine, but even that was an overestimation of Zhao Feng''s abilities. How could she have known that Zhao Feng would break through after walking just a few steps!?


    Song Tingyu felt embarrassed and ashamed.


    "Stop!" Song Tingyu called out, her face red.


    "What do you need this young master for?" Zhao Feng turned around and smiled.


    "You were messing with me just now?" Song Tingyu''s eyes went cold.


    In her view, Zhao Feng was definitely hiding his cultivation. Otherwise, he couldn''t possibly have broken through by just taking a few steps. As for why she hadn''t seen it, it might have been because Zhao Feng cultivated some secret concealment art of the Zhao Clan.


    She didn''t have a very good temper. Earlier, she wasn''t that annoyed because Zhao Feng was just a child, but now that she was sure that Zhao Feng was messing around with her, she no longer treated him like a child. Her anger went to her head, allowing her actual temperament to reveal itself.


    "Correct!" Zhao Feng confessed.


    Zhao Feng''s forthrightness made Song Tingyu''s eyes bulge, and for a moment, she didn''t know what to say. She had never expected for Zhao Feng to just admit it without arguing.


    In addition, despite being a peak Divine Transformation, she had been fooled by a fourteen-year-old. Who would believe her if she said such a thing? Of course, as a prodigy of the Song Clan, she was unwilling to announce such an embarrassing matter.


    "No matter what trick you''re trying to pull, I''m your master! I will now give you a mission!" Song Tingyu took a book from her interspatial dimension and gave it to Zhao Feng, and then she crossed her arms across her chest and coldly glared.


    "Spirit-level top-class art, Yellow Dragon Fist." Zhao Feng glanced at the book.


    "In ten days, cultivate this combat skill to the peak!" Song Tingyu coldly grunted.


    Martial arts skills had different levels, but just because one had a high-level skill didn''t mean that one could overcome a low-level skill.


    This was because martial arts skills could be divided into proficiency levels: basic, minor, major, and peak. There was also the perfect level, but the requirements for this level were extremely strict. Not even the creator of a martial arts skill might be able to reach the perfect level.


    Song Tingyu wouldn''t just let Zhao Feng be after he messed around with her. She wanted to give him a hard time.


    Yellow Dragon Fist wasn''t that high level of a technique, but cultivating it to the peak within ten days was impossible. Even a Star Origin Realm prodigy would need at least ten days.


    "Instead of that, why don''t we make a wager?" Holding the book, Zhao Feng wickedly smiled at Song Tingyu.


    "What sort of wager?" Song Tingyu was suspicious.


    For some reason, she had a bad feeling, but she was a peak Divine Transformation expert! How could she be afraid of a boy?


    "I have a martial arts skill of the same level as Yellow Dragon Fist. Let''s see which one of us can reach the peak faster in our respective skills. The one who gets there first wins!" Zhao Feng flipped his palm, revealing the book for a skill called Flowing Light Sword.


    Song Tingyu was stunned, and she found it hard to suppress the urge to laugh.


    A mere Violet Qi Realm wanted to have a match with her to see who could cultivate a Spirit-level skill to the peak the fastest? She even wondered if Zhao Feng''s mind was broken.


    As a peak Divine Transformation expert, she cultivated nothing but Earth-level top-class skills. Comprehending a Spirit-level top-class art was truly too simple. She would only need to read the book once to be able to use it, and after training a little more, she would be able to reach the peak level.


    This was certain victory!


    "Okay! I''ll let you experience your master''s ability!" Song Tingyu agreed.


    She could immediately seize back the dignity Zhao Feng had stolen from her by tricking her.


    "The one who wins is the real master," Zhao Feng calmly said. There naturally needed to be something on the line for it to be a wager.


    "Okay!" Song Tingyu was anxious to see Zhao Feng in desperate straits and immediately agreed.


    This was her first disciple, so Song Tingyu wanted Zhao Feng to sincerely obey her without any complaint.


    After taking Zhao Feng''s book, Song Tingyu opened it and scanned it with her Spiritual Sense.


    Although she wasn''t skilled in sword arts, she was confident that she would only need to read the book once to use the skill, and reaching peak proficiency would also be easily done.


    But Song Tingjm suddenly sensed something odd about Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng wasn''t even looking through the manual for Yellow Dragon Fist. He was just awkwardly smiling as he watched her.


    "Why aren''t you cultivating the Yellow Dragon Fist?" Song Tingyu questioned.


    "Please watch carefully!" Zhao Feng called out as he took a step forward.


    Violet Spirit energy began to coil around his fists, swiftly transforming into yellow light suffused with Earth energy. Boom!


    He punched, sending a stream of yellow energy howling forward like a dragon.


    Zhao Feng punched twice, thrice.... One dark yellow dragon after another coiled around Zhao Feng, lifelike and intimidating. As he punched more and more, Zhao Feng himself seemed to become a furious dragon that raged at the heavens.


    The exhibition of this first art was both beautiful and forceful. Song Tingyu was completely enchanted by it. In Zhao Feng''s hand, this low-level fist art possessed an immense might, and Song Tingyu couldn''t help but feel a hint of admiration.


    Suddenly, all the roars and phenomena vanished.


    "I win." Zhao Feng faintly smiled.


    Song Tingyu was startled, and then she paled.


    "You... cheater! You must have cultivated this skill before!" Song Tingyu''s entire body was trembling, and her face was shocked and panicked. These were the only words that she could muster.


    Zhao Feng hadn''t even looked through the book for Yellow Dragon Fist yet was still able to use it. Moreover, that clearly wasn''t peak proficiency, but perfect proficiency. How was that even possible? It was simply too absurd. Thus, Song Tingyu could only believe that Zhao Feng had cultivated this skill before.


    However, although the Yellow Dragon Fist was a low-level art, it was a skill of the Song Clan. The Zhao Clan was not guaranteed to have it. Moreover, how could such a coincidence be possible? The skill she had just randomly chosen was also the skill that Zhao Feng had cultivated beforehand? Not even she was convinced by this explanation.


    She had no idea that Zhao Feng, with just that one glance, had read through all of the Yellow Dragon Fist manual. As a Creator-level expert, he could easily achieve perfect proficiency in this skill.


    "Whether I cheated or not, I just want to see if the people of the Song Clan will admit their loss. If they''re all scoundrels who can''t keep their word, I have nothing to say!" Zhao Feng appeared slightly angered as he bellowed.


    Song Tingyu froze, and while the fires of rage still burned within her, she had no means of venting them.


    Firstly, this was the Zhao Clan, and Zhao Feng''s status was not one bit less than hers. Secondly, Zhao Feng was right.


    On this wager... she had lost!


    "Fine! I, Song Tingyu, am willing to accept my loss. You are now my master, but I''d like to see what you can teach me!" Song Tingyu gnashed her teeth and finally yielded.


    She could not be someone who went back on her word. She would first endure this trial and then think of a way to deal with this naughty child!


    Song Tingyu prepared to leave.


    "Mm! This disciple is obedient. Come walk with your master," Zhao Feng nodded and immediately said.


    "You...!" Song Tingyu''s footsteps froze, and her anger exploded, but she did her best to restrain herself.


    She had already suffered a loss twice today, and just seeing Zhao Feng made her unhappy. She only wanted to go back to vent her emotions and think of a way to deal with this child, but Zhao Feng did not seem intent on letting her go.


    "Let''s go!" Zhao Feng placed his hands behind him and walked out.


    Song Tingyu followed, her eyes fiercely staring at Zhao Feng as if she wanted to swallow him alive. Gradually, however, Song Tingyu calmed down. Now that she thought back to what had happened, she discovered that this boy... was unfathomable!


    As Zhao Feng and Song Tingyu were leaving, in a closed residence within the city lord''s estate, a muscular man exuding a domineering aura was seated on a raised platform, his presence causing the air itself to feel heavy.


    A shadow appeared in front of the man, and then a person appeared within the shadow.


    "Zhao Feng has left, together with Song Tingyu!" the black figure bowed and said.


    This Zhao Tianlong, on the surface, he''s just getting a teacher for his son, but in reality, it''s a bodyguard. Watch the boy from the shadows. If there''s a chance, take care of him...." the domineering man ordered.


    ,rYes, Vice Patriarch!" The black figure vanished.


    "Zhao Tianlong, I wasn''t planning on doing anything to your son, but this son of yours, he''s not simple! He must die." The domineering man revealed a savage smile.


    This man was the vice patriarch of the Zhao Clan, Zhao Balong.


    His three sons were all some of the most talented children of this generation. As for Zhao Tianlong''s eldest, he was of average talent and probably wouldn¡¯t have any major accomplishments. If all went as expected, Zhao Balong would be the next patriarch, and once he was patriarch, becoming the city lord would be much easier.


    When Zhao Feng was born though, Zhao Balong began to observe him. He discovered that he couldn''t see through his body. It was like a pitch-black pool, not easy to swim deep into and apparently bottomless. In short, he felt threatened by Zhao Feng.


    Since that was the case, he would remove this threat!


    Outside the city lord''s estate, Zhao Feng and Song Tingyu quickly found Huo Qingfeng.


    "Master." Huo Qingfeng had a calm expression.


    The three perfect Soul Origin Purging Pills had cured all of the injuries in Huo Qingfeng''s body. This alone made Huo Qingfeng incredibly grateful to Zhao Feng.


    Moreover, he needed to take revenge and get stronger. Following Zhao Feng might give him an opportunity to accomplish these things.


    "You''re... the Azure City Sword Sect''s Huo Qingfeng!" Song Tingyu blurted out in surprise.


    The Azure City Sword Sect was rather far from this place, but Song Tingyu had heard of this person''s name. This man was an even more monstrous genius than she was.


    She had heard that the Azure City Sword Sect had already decided to make Huo Qingfeng the next sect master, but several months ago, a tragedy took place.


    Of course, this was not the true reason for Song Tingyu''s shock. She was shocked over the fact that Huo Qingfeng had called this naughty child his master!

 1580 Zhao Fengs Path of Prosperity

    Chapter 1580 - Zhao Feng''s Path of Prosperity


    The pride of the Azure City Sword Sect, Huo Qingfeng, was actually calling Zhao Feng his master? Song Tingyu''s mind was buzzing and she looked in disbelief at Huo Qingfeng.


    "I am he," Huo Qingfeng glanced at Song Tingyu and indifferently replied.


    Although Song Tingyu was decently talented and possessed a formidable cultivation, she was only acceptable in his eyes.


    Song Tingyu was extremely vexed by this disregard. In his eyes, she didn''t even compare to a child like Zhao Feng? But she managed to suppress her discontent.


    Huo Qingfeng had recovered from his wounds, but he still needed to slowly advance his cultivation level. Like Song Tingyu, he was currently at the peak Divine Transformation Realm. In terms of strength, Huo Qingfeng was stronger, given that he was a Sword Dao expert. Besides that, Huo Qingfeng also had the understanding of an Imperishable Realm expert, which Song Tingyu did not have.


    "Kid, what are you planning?" Extremely unhappy, Song Tingyu casually asked.


    "I''m your master. Is that the attitude you should be showing?" Zhao Feng grimaced as he questioned.


    Song Tingyu was once more enraged, but when she looked into Zhao Feng''s eyes, she inexplicably chose to yield.


    "Yes, Master!" Song Tingyu clenched her teeth and changed her tone.


    She had lost the wager and had nothing to say. Moreover, there was an expert of equal strength at Zhao Feng''s side who listened to his every order.


    Huo Qingfeng witnessed everything and noted in shock to himself, So this Divine Transformation Realm woman is actually his disciple.


    Huo Qingfeng was even surer now that Zhao Feng was not as simple as he seemed.


    "Now, we''re going to get rich!" Zhao Feng nodded and smiled.


    "Get rich?" Song Tingyu and Huo Qingfeng were both stunned, unable to tell what Zhao Feng was thinking.


    He was the city lord''s son, and the Zhao Clan dominated Southcloud City. Why did Zhao Feng need to make money? Huo Qingfeng decided that Zhao Feng definitely had some deeper meaning behind his actions.


    "Correct! Let''s go." Zhao Feng led the way.


    If he wanted to cultivate, he could reach the apex in very little time. In his last life, he had a goal and was in constant danger, forcing him to put everything into cultivating.


    In this life though, Zhao Feng didn''t regard cultivation with much importance, and walking the same path twice was too boring. Thus, he wanted to take another path: the path of prosperity.


    Strength was number one, but it would be even stronger with wealth. And with a certain level of wealth, one could also form their own faction!


    "Huo Qingfeng, I''m giving you a mission!" As he walked, Zhao Feng began to talk with Huo Qingfeng.


    "Please speak!" Huo Qingfeng''s eyes sparkled.


    "I plan to open an auction house, and you will take my place as the owner of the auction house...." Zhao Feng slowly described his plan.


    His first path to prosperity was an auction house. Huo Qingfeng had been chosen to be the next sect master of the Azure City Sword Sect, so he was probably a decent manager. Moreover, Huo Qingfeng was restrained by his contract to be completely under his beck and call.


    Huo Qingfeng''s brow creased. As a Sword Dao expert, he was entirely devoted to the sword, and he also had his grudge to settle. He was anxious to get stronger, so he was truly unwilling to be an auctioneer.


    "You plan to take your revenge alone? Once the auction house makes enough money, you can hire a group of experts, increasing your chances of a successful revenge," Zhao Feng added, seeing that Huo Qingfeng was unwilling.


    Huo Qingfeng immediately settled down. Taking revenge alone truly was too difficult. Moreover, if he had money, he could buy many cultivation resources to increase his strength.


    In short, opening an auction house did not seem to be in conflict with his ultimate goal.


    "But it will take so long to get an auction house established." Huo Qingfeng thought of another problem.


    It was very difficult for a small store to rise from obscurity. Moreover, Zhao Feng was apparently planning to control things from behind the scenes, which meant that they couldn''t use the Zhao Clan''s name.


    "I have a plan," Zhao Feng flatly said.


    Huo Qingfeng saw that Zhao Feng was extremely confident and said no more.


    The three quickly arrived at one of the most bustling places in Southcloud City and bought a large shopfront.


    Although Zhao Feng was the city lord''s son, he didn''t have many Origin Crystals. This purchase was mostly paid for by the thieving cat''s recent burglaries.


    Meowmeow!


    The thieving cat gave a rascally smile as it gave Zhao Feng a high-five.


    Song Tingyu looked speechlessly at this boy and cat.


    With the shopfront purchased, the three humans and one cat quickly set things up. Zhao Feng spent a significant amount of Origin Crystals to hire some low-level warriors.


    The auction house was set up, and its name was Star Peak Auction House.


    "Master, we have the auction house, but no one seems to be giving us anything to auction?" Song Tingyu mockingly asked.


    Your master has a few toys here." Zhao Feng profoundly smiled. He waved his hand, and a large pile of objects appeared on the table.


    There were automatons, medicines, weapons, array tools, and each item was of an outstanding level.


    "You have so many Star Origin Realm and Divine Transformation Realm automatons? And also Soul Origin Purging Pills, Skyblood Fire Spirit Pills, Golden Yang Pills...!" Song Tingyu immediately paled as she examined the items in shock.


    She was now sure that Zhao Feng was not your average child. How could a child have so many treasures? Even if he was the city lord''s son, Zhao Feng was only a teenager. Why would the city lord give so many resources to Zhao Feng?


    Song Tingyu''s careful inspection revealed that the automatons were intricately constructed, consumed little energy, and were built from excellent materials. As for the pills, the vast majority were apex quality, with a few even being perfect.


    Huo Qingfeng was similarly shocked. He knew that Zhao Feng was a pill refining grandmaster, and the pills had probably all been refined by him, but was he also the one who had created the automatons, arrays, and weapons?


    Zhao Feng said nothing, keeping his skills a secret.


    "An auction house attracts people because of the items up for auction. With these, our auction house will soon become famous throughout Southcloud City!" Huo Qingfeng couldn''t help but chuckle.


    Later that day, a large sign was placed outside the newly-opened Star Peak Auction House. On it was written the items that would be up for auction tomorrow, the words gleaming with a golden and attractive luster.


    The items up for auction were those that the vast majority of martial artists desperately needed.


    Quite a few people soon took notice of the sign.


    Although some people didn''t believe that a new auction house would have so many treasures, it was better to be tricked than miss out on this chance! After all, few people would know of this new auction house, reducing the number of possible competitors.


    The next day, Star Peak Auction House began its first auction. Not a lot of people came, but the auction proceeded smoothly.


    The same day, the name of Star Peak Auction House began to spread. After all, the quality of the treasures was high, and the price was low.


    On the third day, Star Peak Auction House was at full capacity. On the fourth day, it was over capacity!


    The rarity of the items at Star Peak Auction House somewhat dropped, but as its reputation had already been made, this didn''t have much of an effect.


    With its resounding reputation, more people were willing to put up their items for auction. After all, the more bidders there were, the higher the final price would be.


    Huo Qingfeng and Song Tingyu were excited to see the popularity of the auction house. They had signed a contract with Zhao Feng that gave them a percentage of the profits for the auction house. They were naturally overjoyed to see the auction house so successful.


    "Mm?" At this moment, Huo Qingfeng sensed something strange and turned to leave. In a hidden room at the back of the auction house:


    "This is for you.


    "This is for Song Tingyu and Huo Qingfeng. "And this is mine!"


    Zhao Feng was dividing the profits. Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat seemed very unhappy, believing that Zhao Feng was being too greedy. After all, the thieving cat had provided most of the starting capital.


    It was dark outside the room, and in this darkness, a shadow appeared. This was the assassin sent by Zhao Balong, a peak Divine Transformation Realm expert, more than enough to kill a Three Qi Realm expert.


    This kid... isn''t simple! the figure muttered to himself.


    Zhao Feng was always accompanied by Song Tingyu and Huo Qingfeng, so he was forced to watch from a distance. As a result, he wasn''t able to learn anything in too much detail, but he was able to gradually determine that Zhao Feng was very unusual. He had even become rather interested in this youth. Thus, he planned to capture Zhao Feng, search his soul, and then kill him.


    After many days of observation, he finally seized a moment when Huo Qingfeng and Song Tingyu weren''t around to get close to Zhao Feng and begin his operation.


    "Haha, kid, the day of your death is here!" The shadow surged forward, taking the shape of a pitch-black figure with a dark gray dagger that exuded a fatal chill.


    Thwish!


    The black figure shot into the room and rushed at Zhao Feng.


    "You finally showed yourself?" Zhao Feng suddenly raised his head and smiled.


    This smile seemed exceptionally eerie to the pitch-black man.


    When he saw that the thieving cat was giving the same eerie smile, he felt an ill foreboding. This Three Qi Realm expert and this cat felt not fear or panic upon encountering a Divine Transformation Realm assassin. In fact, they smiled as if they had known of his presence this entire time.


    But how could that be? This boy and cat could have never sensed him, and even if they did, what means did they have of escaping his grasp?


    Suddenly, the eyes of a wooden puppet in the corner of the room flashed red. The puppet waved its hand, sending a thick white beam of light forward. Before the pitch-black man could react, the beam was right in front of him.


    This white beam of light didn''t possess much power, but when it touched the man, it exploded into an energy that could destroy all things, a white sphere that consumed all.


    "Imperishable Realm...!?" The man''s eyes widened in shock and fear as his body disappeared.


    Zhao Feng had made a lot of money recently, allowing him to buy precious materials. This wooden puppet was an Imperishable Realm automaton that he had recently built.


    At this moment, Huo Qingfeng pushed upon the door. He watched in shock as the pitch-black man''s body was engulfed by the white sphere, and then the white sphere vanished.


    "Qingfeng was late to protect Master! Master, please forgive me!" Huo Qingfeng took in a deep breath and bowed.


    The man was dead the moment he entered, but he was still able to sense that the assassin was also a peak Divine Transformation expert. As he was an assassin skilled in concealment, the amount of power he could unleash at once was probably something that not even Huo Qingfeng could match.


    But an expert like this was still instantly killed.


    He didn''t see Zhao Feng take action, so he did not know how this peak Divine Transformation assassin died.


    "You can go back. Just put more effort into your work to make it up to me!" Zhao Feng ordered. He then threw out two interspatial dimensions. "These are your and Song Tingyu''s cuts!"


    Many thanks, Master!" Huo Qingfeng, respect on his face and shock in his heart, slowly withdrew.

 1581 Clan Crisis

    Chapter 1581 - Clan Crisis


    In a gloomy residence within the city lord''s estate, Zhao Balong suddenly opened his eyes. "Dead?"


    The assassin he sent to kill Zhao Feng had actually died? Even if the assassin carelessly exposed himself, Zhao Feng only had Song Tingyu at his side. There was no reason for him to die.


    But now that the assassin was dead, Zhao Balong would find it very difficult to find out how exactly the assassin was killed.


    "What a pity to lose such a good piece!" Zhao Balong''s face chilled. A peak Divine Transformation Realm expert was extremely important to the Zhao Clan.


    Zhao Balong assigned the blame for this to Zhao Feng, and he was determined to settle the accounts one day.


    After a long while, he savagely smiled. "It won''t be long until I, Zhao Balong, will have complete control over the entire Zhao Clan."


    A year passed in the blink of an eye.


    One day, Song Tingyu went to the Zhao Clan and departed with Zhao Feng.


    "It seems like Feng''er just didn''t like his previous teacher. Feng''er is much more diligent now!" Zhao Tianlong saw everything and gave a relieved smile.


    Zhao Feng rarely cultivated before, but ever since Song Tingyu had arrived, Zhao Feng would frequently go out with her to cultivate.


    But Zhao Tianlong had no idea that Song Tingyu had been made Zhao Feng''s disciple and that this was all an act.


    "Just who are you?" Song Tingyu asked once they had left the city lord''s estate.


    Zhao Feng was definitely no ordinary child, and he even managed to hide all his movements from his parents. Not even the city lord, Zhao Tianlong, sensed anything.


    "I''m your master!" Zhao Feng loudly declared.


    Song Tingyu immediately clenched her teeth. She had failed to do anything to Zhao Feng in this one year. On the contrary, she had suffered setback after setback.


    Of course, as Song Tingyu was willing to spend time with Zhao Feng, she had made a decent amount of money. Moreover, Zhao Feng was thinking about opening branch stores, and as the business was prospering more and more, Song Tingyu was not willing to offend Zhao Feng.


    They arrived at Star Peak Auction House, where the auctions were proceeding in an orderly fashion.


    Now that he had capital, Zhao Feng had hired some experts to run the auction house, with his only duty being to take the money.


    However, to ensure that Star Peak Auction House''s business only increased, Zhao Feng would take out some of the superb products he had personally created at certain intervals and put them up for auction.


    The auction was soon over, and the packed crowd began to slowly disperse.


    The upper echelon members of the Star Peak Auction House gathered in the conference hall.


    On the surface, the boss of Star Peak Auction House was Huo Qingfeng, with Song Tingyu being his deputy. The other elders present were the upper echelon members responsible for various aspects.


    "Our auction house has a resounding reputation, but if we want to get bigger, we have to expand. Do any of you have suggestions?" Huo Qingfeng asked.


    The upper echelon members were all extremely experienced people, and there were some that were specifically tasked with gathering information.


    "This old man believes that, if Star Peak Auction House wants to expand, Sunharbor City is the best location!" An elder stood up. He wore violet robes with golden embroidery. His expression was calm and his eyes were brimming with confidence and pride.


    "Brother Li, why is that? I''ve heard that Sunharbor City is rather average when it comes to major cities, and the Liu Clan controlling it is far inferior to Southcloud City''s Zhao Clan. Is that not the case?" a short elder immediately asked.


    Their fortunes were tied to the wax and wane of Star Peak Auction House, so they were all extremely concerned.


    The others all looked at the violet-robed elder. Sunharbor City truly wasn''t that prosperous, and it was also rather far from Southcloud City.


    "None of you get it. Although Sunharbor City isn''t as prosperous and the Liu Clan controlling it isn''t that strong, the other clan in Sunharbor City has recently been making a name for itself...." Elder Li smugly smiled.


    "Give us some more details!" another one of the upper echelon members said.


    "Besides the controlling faction, a major city will normally have some other factions, and the Lu Clan of Sunharbor City is second in power only to the Liu Clan. Crucially, two genius daughters have been bom to the Lu Clan, both of peerless beauty and superb talent. This has caused many of the nearby major clans and factions to come with marriage proposals," Elder Li explained everything in one go.


    "This old man has also heard of this matter!"


    "I heard that even the royal household of the Azure Net Kingdom has been making some moves!"


    The upper echelon members began to converse. If even the royal household had taken notice, these two girls of the Lu Clan were clearly unusual.


    Zhao Feng stood on the side, thinking of nothing as he waited for the conference to the end. He had little interest in these two genius girls of the Lu Clan.


    "The presence of these two genius girls has greatly boosted the number of people going through Sunharbor City, and the majority of them are nobles and gentlemen. This is definitely the ideal place for a branch of our Star Peak Auction House!"


    "Tsk, tsk, who would have imagined that two girls could change the destiny of Sunharbor City?"


    "I heard that one of them is extremely talented in the Destiny Dao. Once she matures, she will definitely have an extraordinary career."


    The conversation continued in the conference hall, but the location of the new branch had apparently been decided already.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng opened his eyes. "Destiny Dao...!"


    Zhao Yufei and Liu Qinxin had been reincarnated in the area, and now, two genius girls had appeared, and one of them was even skilled in the Destiny Dao. When all these clues were brought together, Zhao Feng was basically certain.


    "Okay, let''s make it Sunharbor City!" Zhao Feng couldn''t help but smile.


    On the side, Elder Li frowned and glanced at Zhao Feng. This was a conference of the upper echelon members of Star Peak Auction House, but each time, this child would be present.


    However, Song Tingyu was one of the big bosses of the auction house. If she insisted on bringing her disciple, the others could do nothing. Moreover, Huo Qingfeng had also given his permission.


    "Song Tingyu, next time, have your disciple wait outside. This is a secret conference!" Elder Li coldly grunted.


    He had a higher status among the upper echelon members, and now that he had provided such important information, his confidence had swelled so much that he wanted to flaunt his power to Song Tingyu.


    But Elder Li had just finished speaking when a terrifying energy surged through the secret hall. It was a stifling and oppressive energy that left a prickly pain on one''s soul.


    "This..." Elder Li looked at Huo Qingfeng in shock.


    This pressure was being released by Huo Qingfeng. Huo Qingfeng had once more stepped into the Imperishable Realm, and his cultivation far surpassed everyone else present.


    "It is forbidden to mention this matter again!" Huo Qingfeng coldly said. As his sharp eyes passed over Elder Li, Elder Li felt like an invisible sword was being plunged into his heart.


    "Yes!" Cold sweat drenching his back, Elder Li nodded.


    He had never imagined that his words would incite such displeasure from Huo Qingfeng, and next to him, Song Tingyu didn''t seem to care that much. And when he saw the indifferent and nonchalant look on Zhao Feng''s face, he became even more confused, but he did not dare speak out.


    The others also became more cautious and curious about Zhao Feng.


    A short while later, the conference was ended. It was decided that the new branch would be in Sunharbor City. Everyone dispersed.


    "Qingfeng, I plan to personally make a trip to Sunharbor City," Zhao Feng sternly said.


    He could only determine if those two genius girls of Sunharbor City were Zhao Yufei and Liu Qinxin by looking for himself.


    The two girls had yet to recover their memories, and things would go poorly if some expert, noble, or even royal, got to them first.


    "Master, are you planning...?" Huo Qingfeng probed.


    "I''ll take a look, and perhaps I''ll even propose." Zhao Feng sighed. Fortunately, the auction house had made him a tidy sum, or else he wouldn''t even have the money for a betrothal gift.


    "What...?" Huo Qingfeng''s jaw dropped as he froze to the spot.


    Zhao Feng had always been an unfathomable and mysterious expert in his eyes. He never imagined that he would be interested in two genius girls, to the extent that he would even consider a proposal.


    Zhao Feng returned to the city lord''s estate in the afternoon.


    "Mm?" He immediately noticed that something was wrong.


    The number of expert auras in the estate had clearly decreased, and his father was not present.


    Upon returning to the city lord''s residence, he found the old steward, a genial elder with a goatee.


    "Steward, where''s my father?" Zhao Feng asked.


    "The master went to the Bloodfiend Sect. I heard that the Bloodfiend Sect is planning to make peace with Southcloud City!" the old steward immediately replied.


    The Bloodfiend Sect was an Evil Dao faction near Southcloud City. It was of equal power to Southcloud City, and the two had been enemies for a thousand years now.


    If not for these two factions wearing each other out, they would have both been far more powerful by now.


    "Before leaving, the master asked me to inform the young master of a certain matter." The old steward approached Zhao Feng and whispered into his ear.


    "The master said..."


    But before the old steward finished speaking, his mouth curled into a wicked and smug smile. Energy gathered into his right hand into a sharp blade that he thrust forward.


    Suddenly, the old man''s body shivered and froze.


    At some point, Zhao Feng had produced a small sword covered in scarlet veins. This sword had already been stabbed into the old steward''s chest.


    "Heaven-level top-class...!" The old steward''s body began to shrivel up as his blood and energy were drained away, leaving only a pile of bones.


    The old steward was only an initial-level Divine Transformation Realm expert, while not even Imperishable Realm experts possessed Heaven-level top-class weapons. Even if Zhao Feng didn''t use the powers of this sword, the sword''s innate sharpness and abilities would have been enough to instantly kill the old steward.


    "As expected, something happened!" Zhao Feng sighed.


    He sensed something strange in the air the moment he entered the city lord''s estate.


    At this moment, as if someone had sent out an order, powerful auras and killing intent exploded from various parts of the estate. Screams and the scent of blood began to rise from various areas. The entire estate began to tremble as a battle ensued.


    "Zhao Balong, what''s the meaning of this!?" a resounding voice came from the forbidden ground in the back of the estate, and then a white streak of light flew out. It turned into a white-haired elder who was furiously staring at a certain part of the estate.


    "Grand Elder!"


    "Grand Elder, clan members have started a revolt!"


    Many shouts came from within the estate.


    The abrupt assault of these people had caught the Zhao Clan off guard.


    "Haha, old fool, the Zhao Clan is mine!" Zhao Balong charged out of a dark-golden palace, exuding a domineering aura. Mixed with this aura was a chilling fiendish energy.


    "You''ve been colluding with the Bloodfiend Sect!?" The Grand Elder grimaced as he loudly accused.


    You''ve understood too late!" Zhao Balong heartily laughed.


    A blood-colored barrier suddenly appeared around the estate, covered in various wicked and intimidating patterns. "This old man will first execute this traitor!" The Grand Elder charged forward, a broadsword appearing in his hand. Zhao Balong simply floated in the air, utterly unperturbed.


    "Oh no!" The Grand Elder suddenly sensed danger and hastily retreated.


    Boom! Bang!


    A savage blood-colored ghost head charged out of Zhao Balong''s residence, howling as it rushed at the Grand Elder.


    The ghost head moved with incredible speed, and the Grand Elder didn''t have time to dodge, causing one of his arms to be bitten.


    The Grand Elder instantly cut off his arm, his face hardened with resolve.


    As an Imperishable Realm expert, he could swiftly restore any of his lost body parts, but he discovered that a significant amount of his energy had also been devoured.


    Thwish!


    A demon-faced elder wearing blood-colored robes flew out of Zhao Balong''s residence and wickedly laughed. "We meet again!"


    "Blood Spirit!" The Grand Elder''s eyes darkened and began to seethe with killing intent.

 1582 Mysterious Master

    Chapter 1582 - Mysterious Master


    Blood Spirit was the Grand Elder of the Bloodfiend Sect. His peak Imperishable Realm cultivation had firmly established his post as the hegemon of his sect.


    In the city lord''s estate, the members of the Zhao Clan sensed that the situation had taken a turn for the worse.


    Firstly, the sneak attack from Zhao Balong''s side inflicted significant losses on them. After that, Blood Spirit emerged from his hiding place in Zhao Balong''s residence to ambush and injure the Zhao Clan''s Grand Elder.


    Originally, the Grand Elder should have been just as powerful as Blood Spirit, but now, there was a gap - a gap that could decide the outcome in a battle between experts.


    "Zhao Balong, you actually...!" the Grand Elder roared, his finger pointed at Zhao Balong as his body trembled.


    He hadn''t expected for the Zhao Clan to eventually fall to the hands of one of its own clan members!


    "The city lord is in danger...!" An elder grimaced in fear.


    Zhao Tianlong had gone with many experts to the Bloodfiend Sect to discuss peace, but this was all a trap.


    The Blood Vein Array around the estate made it difficult for them to break out or send word to Zhao Tianlong of what was happening.


    "Relax! The Bloodfiend Sect can''t deal with Zhao Tianlong just yet, but once you''re all dead, he''ll be coming to join you!" Zhao Balong loudly laughed.


    As long as he could capture Zhao Feng, he wasn''t worried about Zhao Tianlong coming back. This was why he had waited until Zhao Feng returned to execute his plan.


    The Zhao Clan experts within the estate began to gather in the rear. Although they were imprisoned in the array and couldn''t send the news out, the other people in Southcloud City were bound to notice something wrong and inform Zhao Tianlong.


    All they could do was defend and buy time until Zhao Tianlong returned. This was their only hope of victory.


    "Strike, Blood Spirit!" Zhao Balong wickedly smiled.


    "Haha, you don''t need to tell me that!" Blood Spirit licked his crimson and bewitching lips, his red eyes staring at the Grand Elder with intense killing intent.


    Boom! Bang!


    Crimson mist suddenly rose from Blood Spirit''s body. As it churned and seethed, it took the form of a savage mouth with red canines gleaming with cold light.


    "Kill!" Blood Spirit charged forward, his finger jabbing forward as he sent the massive mouth at the Grand Elder.


    The Grand Elder''s face turned grim. The sword in his hand exploded with dazzling golden light, creating a vast and tyrannical wave of energy.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    The shockwave created from this clash of peak Imperishable Realm attacks caused the nearby experts to fall back.


    On the other end, Zhao Balong battled with several elders of the Zhao Clan.


    "If you submit now, I can still spare your lives!" Zhao Balong smiled, his voice oozing with pride.


    "Don''t even think about it!" a white-haired old woman angrily shouted, the cane in her hand unleashing a dazzling white light.


    "Scram!" Zhao Balong roared, firing off a massive palm of gold and red light that exuded a fiendish energy.


    This Zhao Balong is extremely powerful, and he even cultivates a secret of the Bloodfiend Sect that raises his strength to another level. Other than Zhao Tianlong and the Grand Elder, no one is a match for him! The white-haired old woman turned grim.


    The fiendish golden-red energy scattered the dazzling white light and then shattered the attacks of the other elders. Not even the elders working together were any match for this man.


    Zhao Tianlong was only a little less talented than Zhao Tianlong. It was just that his way of doing things was too tyrannical, causing the post of patriarch to be given to Zhao Tianlong.


    Now that he cultivated the secret art of the Bloodfiend Sect, he could absorb the energy of others. This meant that in chaotic battles involving many people, he got stronger as time went on.


    At the same time, a chubby man was charging at Zhao Feng.


    "Heh, just a little kid requires me to personally take action? Zhao Balong views this kid too highly!" The chubby man, his belly bulging, hurtled toward Zhao Feng.


    As a peak Divine Transformation Realm expert, he could kill a Violet Qi Realm expert by just breathing on them.


    "Just hand yourself over!" The chubby man savagely smiled.


    "You don''t know your place." Zhao Feng calmly took three automatons out of his Interspatial Dimension. Two of them were automatons made of black metal while the other was made of wood. The moment they appeared, parts of their body gleamed and they flew at the chubby man.


    "This is... Divine Transformation Realm automatons, and even... an Imperishable Realm automaton!?" The chubby man paled as he gasped, his belly jiggling in terror.


    He had never imagined that a mere Violet Qi Realm expert would possess so many powerful automatons.


    "Run!" This was the only thought left in the chubby man''s mind.


    He could fight against a Divine Transformation Realm automaton, but he was helpless against an Imperishable Realm automaton.


    Thwish!


    The wooden automaton drifted over to the chubby man. A round hole appeared on its palm, and a white ray of light shot out.


    "No...!" The chubby man screamed in terror.


    He had underestimated Zhao Feng''s Imperishable Realm automaton! Hwooooom!


    Several white beams of light pierced through the chubby man''s body, and a sphere of white light began to gradually devour him. The two other automatons struck next.


    A few moments later, not even dregs were left of the chubby man.


    The experts fighting in the air all noticed this sight.


    "That''s... Zhao Feng!" Quite a few elders spotted Zhao Feng.


    A Violet Qi Realm expert was truly too insignificant in the middle of this rebellion, so he didn''t attract any attention at first. However, a peak Divine Transformation Realm expert had died while attacking Zhao Feng.


    "So many automatons!" Zhao Balong''s eyes coldly twinkled. He finally understood why his assassin had died. Surrounded by three automatons like this, any Divine Transformation Realm expert would be doomed.


    "Since that''s the case, I''ll personally deal with you!" Zhao Balong angrily roared. His body exploded with strength, knocking aside the other elders as he charged at Zhao Feng.


    "Feng''er, watch out!"


    "Zhao Balong, you''re actually attacking a child!? You''re not human!"


    The elder roared, but they were helpless to stop Zhao Balong.


    Zhao Feng was unpanicked by Zhao Balong''s assault. He took out three more automatons from his interspatial dimension, two of them peak Divine Transformation Realm and one of them middle-level Imperishable Realm.


    "You actually have more!? Give them to me then!" Zhao Balong heartily laughed.


    He was a peak Imperishable Realm expert and possessed tremendous strength. Only two of the automatons were Imperishable Realm, and these he could easily take care of.


    He was also extremely interested in these automatons, which had played a part in his decision to attack.


    Zhao Balong was getting closer and closer to the weak Zhao Feng, ready to annihilate him in one fell swoop.


    But at this moment:


    "You dare touch my things?" A voice emerged from the infinite void to explode in Zhao Balong''s mind.


    This terrifying Soul Intent made Zhao Balong''s soul tremble in fear. This power that could not be defied made Zhao Balong almost kneel mid-air.


    "Se...nior... spare..." Zhao Balong barely managed to squeeze out a few words.


    "You wanted to kill me. How could I spare you?" The voice resounded once more, and Zhao Balong stared at Zhao Feng in utter shock.


    A moment later, the terrifying Soul Intent swept through his mind, dealing his soul a destructive blow and causing his body to freeze.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The six automatons charged forward and launched a wholesale assault. Just like that, Zhao Balong was killed by the six automatons.


    Of course, this was primarily because Zhao Feng had heavily injured Zhao Balong''s soul, but no one else could see that. "This... what''s going on?"


    "What happened just now?"


    Everyone else was stunned, disbelief on their faces. For some reason, Zhao Balong had frozen in mid-air and then allowed the automatons to surround and kill him. This was simply absurd, inconceivable!


    "This is... what''s going on?" The Grand Elder and Blood Spirit were similarly stunned.


    A peak Imperishable Realm expert just like them had died in such a bizarre manner. It made their hairs stand on end and their hearts turn cold.


    With the loss of an Imperishable Realm expert, the traitor forces were on the back foot, and what Blood Spirit feared the most was that he would also die in this bizarre fashion.


    "It''s your turn now!" A voice exploded in Blood Spirit''s mind, causing his mind to buzz and his body to sway.


    "Senior... spare me..." Blood Spirit was overcome by terror and immediately dropped to his knees in mid-air. He could sense that this person could kill him as easily as one crushed an ant.


    "This..." The other people could only watch in shock, staring at Blood Spirit in utter confusion.


    "Senior, my deepest gratitude for your assistance!" the Grand Elder looked around and loudly proclaimed.


    He guessed that an expert was helping them from the shadows. This senior might have also played a role in Zhao Balong''s death.


    "Spare you?" The cold and disdainful voice rang out in Blood Spirit''s mind.


    This voice caused Blood Spirit''s hairs to stand on end and the frigid sensation of death to creep throughout his body. He felt like he could already see the gates of the underworld.


    Blood Spirit shivered, his mind completely terrorized.


    "Forget it! I''ll spare your life. Wait for me thirty thousand li east of Southcloud City." Zhao Feng coldly snorted.


    "Many thanks, Senior, for sparing me!" Blood Spirit instantly felt the sense of pressure and danger disappear.


    Without another word, Blood Spirit fled, fear still coldly gripping his heart.


    Cling! Crack!


    The Blood Vein Array around the city lord''s estate shattered.


    "Execute the traitors and the members of the Bloodfiend Sect!" the Grand Elder loudly ordered.


    He joined the elders and the other members of the Zhao Clan in beginning the counterattack. It wasn''t long before the traitors and the members of the Bloodfiend Sect had all been killed.


    Just like that, the grave crisis facing the clan was resolved.


    A short while later, Zhao Tianlong rushed back with the other clan members, but when he saw the result, he was dumbstruck.


    In a secret chamber:


    "Feng''er, where did you get these automatons?" Zhao Tianlong sternly asked.


    The upper echelon members of the clan and the Grand Elder all stared at Zhao Feng.


    "Half a year ago, I ran into a mysterious elder who took me as his disciple. He would occasionally come to teach me a few things, and he predicted that my clan would encounter some dangers and gave me these automatons to protect me." Zhao Feng immediately made up a lie, placing the responsibility on a person who didn''t even exist.


    "It seems like it was that mysterious master of yours who helped us!" Zhao Tianlong nodded. Internally, he rejoiced at his son''s good fortune.


    "The heavens are looking out for my Zhao Clan, hahaha!" The Grand Elder heartily laughed as he looked approvingly at Zhao Feng.


    No one doubted a fifteen-year-old youth who was only at the peak of the Violet Qi Realm.


    One month later, Zhao Feng bid farewell to his parents, saying that his mysterious master had asked him to carry out a task. The clan immediately agreed.


    Thus, Zhao Feng and Huo Qingfeng left Southcloud City. Their destination: Sunharbor City.

 1583 The Center of Attention

    Chapter 1583 - The Center of Attention


    In Sunharbor City, the beauty and talent of the Lu Clan''s two genius daughters had caused the entire destiny of the city to change.


    In the distance, five people and one cat were staring at the grandiose and majestic city. Leading the group was a young man with clear eyes and a wild smile on his lips. On his shoulder was a silver-black cat. This person was none other than Zhao Feng.


    Two of the four people behind him were Huo Qingfeng and Blood Spirit. The other two were servants Zhao Feng had taken on his journey, both of whom were at the Imperishable Realm.


    Zhao Feng didn''t even care that much about Imperishable Realm experts.


    The moment Zhao Feng''s party entered Sunharbor City, it attracted a great deal of attention.


    "I wonder what clan this young master is from. He has four Imperishable Realm experts protecting him!"


    "What does that matter? The Young Master Wei who came earlier had a Chaos Heaven Realm expert protecting him!"


    Conversation was just conversation. Everyone immediately yielded the path upon encountering Zhao Feng''s party.


    Upon entering Sunharbor City, Zhao Feng ordered his servants to gather information. Meanwhile, Huo Qingfeng was entrusted with the matter of the new auction house branch.


    Zhao Feng also began to walk around. This was partially to see the situation and partially to purchase materials.


    "I hear that more than one hundred people have come to make marriage proposals to the Lu Clan. There''s not even enough space in the Lu Clan''s main hall to seat them all!"


    "But that Lu Qin''er and Lu Fei''er are really too beautiful! Ah, if I could just marry one of them, I would live the rest of my life without regret!"


    "Don''t speak nonsense! You''re profaning the fairies!"


    All of the conversations around Sunharbor City basically revolved around the two genius daughters of the Lu Clan. For this reason, these two women became known as Fairy Qin and Fairy Fei.


    These two women were twins, and not only were they so beautiful that fish would drown and swans would drop from the sky upon seeing them, they both possessed superb talent. At only the age of fifteen, they had reached peak Star Origin Realm, only one step away from the Divine Transformation Realm.


    "Did you hear? Because so many people have come to propose, and since the majority of them are people that the Lu Clan can''t reject, the Lu Clan has decided to hold a contest. Only the first place will become the son-in-law for the Lu Clan!"


    In this way, the person who could marry one of the fairies would undoubtedly possess a peerless talent.


    Although many of the proposers opposed the idea, the vast majority of people had approved, particularly the royal household. Thus, the matter was settled.


    "It seems I''ll have to defeat all the other contenders...." Zhao Feng sighed.


    He felt a reaction from his Dream Origin the moment he entered Sunharbor City. Zhao Feng was sure that Lu Qin''er and Lu Fei''er were Liu Qinxin and Zhao Yufei.


    The surrounding experts were all stunned by these words, and they all looked over to see who had spoken them. "Hmph, a naughty child with no idea how vast the world is!"


    "A mere initial-level Star Origin Realm wants to marry a fairy? Truly a toad lusting for swan meat!"


    The crowd instantly sneered in derision.


    Only the most talented and powerful experts had come to propose. Those of young age held no advantage in this contest.


    In addition, one could only rely on one''s own cultivation and strength to win the favor of the fairies. This was one of the rules set down for the contest.


    "Haha, just because of these words of yours, if I run into you in the contest, I''ll kill you!" Brash laughter came from the back of the crowd.


    The crowd parted, allowing a proud youth to slowly come forward.


    "That''s Hua Tianfeng, the prodigy of Heavenly Capital Peak! At the age of twenty, he''s already at the initial level of the Divine Transformation Realm. A monster!"


    "This is one of the geniuses with the highest chance of winning the contest, and he''s got a vicious personality. Now that this kid has caught his eyes, things won''t turn out well for him!"


    The crowd backed up some distance.


    Zhao Feng turned and left, ignoring the youth.


    "Stand still! Did I let you leave?" Hua Tianfeng stepped forward to block Zhao Feng''s path.


    Zhao Feng actually said that he would defeat all the other competitors, and this included him. How could Hua Tianfeng let Zhao Feng leave after being humiliated by someone so young?


    Meowmeow!


    The little thieving cat glanced pityingly at Hua Tianfeng.


    This only made Hua Tianfeng angrier. Not only was he being looked down on by a child, but a cat as well!


    "Scram!" Zhao Feng''s face hardened as he glanced at Hua Tianfeng.


    The moment Hua Tianfeng''s eyes met Zhao Feng''s, he felt like his soul was being crushed under a mountain range, and he almost fell unconscious on the spot.


    Zhao Feng slowly walked past Hua Tianfeng and left.


    "Just now..." After a long while, Hua Tianfeng came back to his senses, his entire body drenched in cold sweat.


    He turned his head, but Zhao Feng had vanished long ago.


    The spectators glanced at each other, confused as to what happened. The vicious and domineering Hua Tianfeng had actually just stood there like a fool and let Zhao Feng leave.


    "Scram!" Brimming with rage, Hua Tianfeng roared, frightening away the crowd before swiftly taking his leave. "Curses! Don''t let me run into you again, or else I''ll make you beg for death!"


    After gathering information, Zhao Feng bought up a large batch of high-level materials and entered seclusion.


    When he emerged from seclusion, his four servants were waiting respectfully outside.


    "This is to reward you." With a wave of his sleeve, Zhao Feng sent out four dazzling balls of light that were brimming with energy.


    Huo Qingfeng glanced at the crystal-veined sword before him. The Wind energy infused into it made his heart thump in fear.


    "Heaven-level top-class!?" Blood Spirit blurted out in surprise. In front of him was a savage red hook. The fiendish energy it exuded made Blood Spirit almost go mad with longing.


    The other two servants were also stunned, indescribable joy on their faces. They had also been gifted Heaven-level top-class divine weapons.


    "Let''s go! I want to participate in the Lu Clan''s contest. You''d better not lose face for me while we''re there." Zhao Feng strode out.


    He had been in seclusion for one month, and today was precisely the day of the contest.


    Yes, Master!" The four took their divine weapons and excitedly followed.


    The party soon reached the Lu Clan''s estate in the southern part of the city.


    At this time, countless martial artists had packed the area around the Lu Clan, and it was extremely difficult to squeeze in to get a view of the spectacle.


    Boom!


    Blood Spirit, Huo Qingfeng, and the other two servants unleashed their Imperishable Realm pressure, causing the crowd to back away in fear.


    Zhao Feng led his group of four people and one cat into the Lu Clan.


    At this moment, in the central plaza of the Lu Clan, one hundred and twenty-some youths had gathered, all of them of extraordinary bearing. Some of them were fierce and imposing, others genial and refined, and still others cold and frightening.


    In the distance were the upper echelon members of the Lu Clan, several elite experts, and also the targets of these many proposals, Lu Qin''er and Lu Fei''er.


    All the people present were staring at these two women.


    Lu Fei''er possessed a pair of clear eyes and had tender white skin. Lu Qin''er had a black waterfall of hair and exuded a solemn and dignified air. Though she was just fifteen, she radiated transcendent elegance.


    The moment Zhao Feng stepped into the plaza and mixed into the crowd of geniuses, he attracted little attention. After all, he was only at the initial level of the Star Origin Realm, which was truly too insignificant among all these prodigies.


    "It''s him!" Hua Tianfeng spotted him, but he did not strike.


    Now that they were here, all their actions would be seen by the two fairies.


    However, the two fairies of the Lu Clan couldn''t help but glance at Zhao Feng. They were already sick of seeing talented geniuses, but for some reason, they felt an inexplicable familiarity from this youth.


    Half a day later:


    "We can begin now!" the Lu Clan patriarch spoke to a black-robed elder at his side.


    This man belonged to the royal household of the Azure Net Kingdom. He had come to propose on behalf of the Tenth Prince, and the Tenth Prince himself was the most popular choice among the prospective grooms.


    "Very well! The contest may now begin. Only the number one has the right to propose marriage to my beloved daughters!" the Lu Clan patriarch announced.


    The upper echelon members of the Lu Clan stood up and sent out a wave of energy. A massive passage like a whirlpool began to take form above the plaza.


    "Go!" A handsome youth wearing a crown was the first to charge forward. This was Young Master Wei.


    The Azure Net Kingdom had countless major cities, but the Great Dragon City that Young Master Wei resided in was one of the three strongest.


    A youth wearing dragon-patterned golden clothes shot into the air, leaving golden dragons in his wake. This person was the Tenth Prince of the Azure Net Kingdom.


    The other prodigies also began to fly into the whirlpool, Zhao Feng being among them.


    Once everyone had entered, the whirlpool gradually closed and vanished.


    A massive screen appeared in the air, displaying the events of the contest ground.


    Zhao Feng was surrounded by a gray and churning fog.


    "An illusion?" Zhao Feng instantly saw through this test.


    Even an initial-level Divine Transformation Realm expert would find themselves greatly hindered by this illusion.


    The Lu Clan probably felt that there were too many proposers, so they wanted the first trial to eliminate the majority of the contestants. This was why they had made this illusion so difficult to see through.


    Those outside weren''t affected by the fog, so they could clearly see the contestants in the illusion.


    Many of the geniuses had a variety of expressions: happiness, grief, fear. Some of the contestants also tried to attack the fog. Only thirty-some geniuses remained sober in the illusion, and they immediately used some of their hidden cards.


    Hua Tianfeng took out a jade pendant. The gold light it exuded circled around him and repelled the illusion.


    The other geniuses had their own methods.


    They were all confident that they could pass the trial. They were all fighting to be first so that they could show off for the fairies.


    Outside, the spectators excitedly watched as these geniuses vied against each other.


    "Eh? Who''s that? He''s so much faster than everyone else!" someone cried out in surprise.


    Others turned to look. A thin figure dressed in white, not at all obvious in the middle of the gray fog, was proceeding through the fog as quickly as the wind, and his eyes brightly twinkled, completely unaffected by the illusion!


    "How could that be? He''s only at the initial level of the Star Origin Realm, but he''s unaffected by the illusion!?"


    "And he''s also left all the other geniuses far behind him!"


    "Who is he? Just how did he do it?"


    The crowd outside exploded in an uproar, and everyone looked away from the more popular contenders to focus on Zhao Feng. Even Lu Fei''er and Lu Qin''er seemed shocked and incredulous.


    A few moments later, Zhao Feng emerged from the illusion. Meanwhile, the more popular contestants had only gotten halfway.


    Zhao Feng was now the center of attention. The Imperishable Realm upper echelon members and the Chaos Heaven experts were all taken aback.


    Some time later, Young Master Wei and the Tenth Prince, in a tight race, charged out of the fog.


    "I''m the first one!" the two of them shouted at the same time, exploding with all their power so that they might be first. But they had just charged out of the fog when they saw someone else seated cross-legged on the ground.


    "What?"


    "Who is this person?"


    The two geniuses were stunned. They found it impossible to believe that someone had gotten here before them. They might have been able to accept it if this was some powerful foe that they had already acknowledged, but the one who had beat them was some Star Origin Realm expert that they had completely disregarded.

 1584 All Kinds of Tricks

    Chapter 1584 - All Kinds of Tricks Several more figures charged out of the fog.


    "As expected of the Tenth Prince and Young Master! I just wonder how long they''ve been waiting here!" a youth with yellow skin calmly remarked.


    "Eh? Who''s that kid?"


    "Why don''t I remember him?"


    The focus of the conversation soon turned to Zhao Feng.


    Initial-level Star Origin Realm cultivation at fifteen years of age was truly too ordinary and unremarkable, so they had little impression of this youth. But now, they had to take note of this person, because this person was probably ^ third-place finisher after the Tenth Prince and Young Master Wei.


    Only the Tenth Prince and Young Master Wei knew that Zhao Feng was the first to arrive, but they wouldn''t come out and say it.


    At this moment, Hua Tianfeng charged out of the fog.


    "How risky!" Only after getting out did he exhale.


    But when he saw Zhao Feng, his eyes went wide, and his mind was thrown into turmoil.


    He had believed that the first test was so difficult that Zhao Feng wouldn''t make it. He had even been feeling rather sorry that he wouldn''t be able to kill Zhao Feng. But to his surprise, Zhao Feng had made it through!


    Gradually, without Hua Tianfeng realizing it, he began to fear Zhao Feng.


    Now that he was through the first trial, he found a place to sit down and recover so that he could get ready for the next trial.


    One person after another emerged from the fog, each in worse condition than the last, and they had even less time to recover.


    Three days later, a voice announced, "Anyone who hasn''t broken through the illusion has now failed. The second test begins now!"


    The voice had just spoken...


    Brrrooom!


    The world in front of the many prodigies crumbled and then instantly reformed into a grandiose sight.


    Countless steep and craggy mountains soared into dark clouds that crackled with lightning. Occasionally, a thick white bolt would descend.


    Savage Yao beasts began to show up, crawling around the mountains, flying in the air, and stealthily traveling through the forests and water.


    "Get out of my sight!" The Tenth Prince''s face turned cold as he charged out.


    As the Tenth Prince stepped forward, golden dragons emerged and exuded an intimidating pressure at the savage beasts.


    He let Zhao Feng get first place in the last trial perhaps because Zhao Feng had some treasure that made him immune to illusions, but he would definitely be first in the second trial.


    But after charging out, the Tenth Prince realized that this trial was not as simple as it seemed. Besides the countless visible dangers, the air was also pervaded by a terrifying pressure that made it impossible for anyone beneath the Divine Transformation Realm to fly, let alone dodge the many threats.


    The other geniuses didn''t want to fall behind. After all, Lu Fei''er and Lu Qin''er were both watching. If they performed well, even if they didn''t get first, they could still win the favor of the fairies and might still have a chance to propose.


    The geniuses used their various abilities to venture forth.


    Swish!


    Zhao Feng waved his hand, summoning a bird-shaped silver automaton. Getting on board, Zhao Feng shot into the air.


    This automaton had a rather ordinary appearance, but it was a flying automaton at the middle-level of Divine Transformation. Its speed and agility were number one.


    Thwish!


    The flying automaton drew a curved silver line in the air as it dodged the various beasts and lightning bolts.


    "What a formidable automaton!"


    "Who is this kid? He has such a finely-made flying automaton!"


    The geniuses were shocked to see that Zhao Feng was about to overcome them.


    Automatons were not cheap, and the better-made they were, the higher the price they commanded, with some even being worth more than a city. Quite a few of them had battle automatons, but none of them had a flying one.


    Under Zhao Feng''s excellent control, the flying automaton dodged all the dangers.


    In front of him was a proud youth. This was Hua Tianfeng, and he stood upon a black lion vulture.


    This lion vulture was at the Divine Transformation Realm, but its body was too big, causing it to lack agility. Thus, it wasn''t that useful in this place.


    At this moment, Hua Tianfeng sensed someone behind. As he sent out his Spiritual Sense, he grimaced.


    "How could it be? You...!" Hua Tianfeng called out in alarm.


    Thwish!


    The silver automaton flew past the black lion vulture''s left side, its pressure sweeping over the lion vulture and causing it to lose its balance.


    Hua Tianfeng was proud and conceited and still wanted to do Zhao Feng harm, and Zhao Feng was not someone who would take things lying down. He used this chance to mess around with Hua Tianfeng.


    The lion vulture''s loss of balance affected its speed, and at this moment, a white bolt of lightning came down and struck the vulture''s other wing.


    Hua Tianfeng was brimming with rage, but all he could do was try his best to stabilize the situation.


    Zhao Feng cast him aside and flew into the distance. He overcame one genius after another, and he soon spotted the Tenth Prince and Young Master Wei.


    The Tenth Prince was standing on a golden dragon phantom that exuded a frightening pressure as it charged forward. Young Master Wei was rapidly proceeding atop a mechanical flying boat.


    Both of them noticed Zhao Feng coming up behind them at the same time and scowled.


    "It''s him again!" they simultaneously shouted.


    Young Master Wei enviously stared at Zhao Feng''s flying automaton. Its craftsmanship far surpassed that of his flying boat.


    "Don''t even think about overcoming me!" Young Master Wei poured his energy into controlling his flying boat.


    He didn''t know how Zhao Feng had managed to break through the illusion and get first so quickly, but this time, they were both using flying tools. Although his tool was of lower quality, his cultivation far surpassed Zhao Feng''s, so he couldn''t possibly lose to Zhao Feng, at least in this fair contest of power.


    Swoosh...


    Three streaks of light flew forward, dodging all the dangers before them.


    None of them gave a single inch!


    Thwish!


    At a certain point, the Tenth Prince managed to reach the end first, with Zhao Feng and Young Master Wei coming behind and arriving at the same time.


    After putting away his flying automaton, Zhao Feng sat down and ignored the pair.


    Zhao Feng failed to get first in the second trial, but he actually didn''t try that hard. The second trial wasn''t important though. The third was the crucial one.


    Two days passed, with only ten people reaching the finish line.


    The tenth was Hua Tianfeng, his face rather pale, and he arrived in rather ragged condition. It was clear that he had encountered quite a few incidents along the way.


    Hua Tianfeng angrily stared at Zhao Feng as if he wanted to give him death by a thousand cuts.


    "Let the final trial begin!" the ethereal voice announced.


    Five massive fighting platforms rose from the earth in front of the ten prodigies.


    "As I expected, the last trial is a battle. The last one left will be number one!" Young Master Wei confidently smiled and then he sneered at Zhao Feng.


    "Everyone, please choose a platform and duel each other!" the ethereal voice spoke once more, giving the rules with this simple sentence.


    They were free to choose a fighting platform, and there were only five, so those who stepped onto the same platform would have to fight each other.


    "Okay!" The Tenth Prince''s eyes flashed, and he shot toward the first platform in the form of a golden dragon.


    The other nine chose to fly toward the other four platforms.


    Young Master Wei took the third platform, Hua Tianfeng the fourth, and Zhao Feng the fifth.


    The slowest person could only helplessly step onto the platform occupied by the Tenth Prince. As soon as he stepped in, he conceded.


    The battles had already begun on the other platforms.


    Zhao Feng''s opponent was a sword cultivator of the initial-level Divine Transformation Realm, his eyes brimming with cold light.


    "To think that someone of your strength could reach the third trial, but no matter how you got here, this is the end of the line for you!" the sword cultivator shouted and flew forward like a cold sword.


    Zhao Feng stood where he was and took out four banners from his interspatial dimension that he placed around himself.


    Bzzzz!


    The array banners activated, creating blue beams of light. These blue beams of light soon came together into a blue barrier that covered Zhao Feng.


    The sword cultivator''s sword wasn''t even able to shake Zhao Feng''s defensive barrier.


    "I''ll cleave it open!" The sword cultivator''s eyes chilled as he swung his sword again and again.


    Although the blue barrier flashed and blinked, it showed no signs of shattering.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng waved a hand. Two middle-level Divine Transformation Realm automatons charged out of the array and attacked the sword cultivator.


    "You, you... you cowardly turtle! You hide while letting all these automatons do the work!" The sword cultivator cursed.


    He was a genius, and as an initial-level Divine Transformation Realm, he could fight experts of the middle level, but he definitely could not deal with two of them. In the end, when he was on the verge of defeat, he conceded.


    At the same time, on the fourth platform, Hua Tianfeng defeated his opponent.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng''s platform moved to the fourth platform, and the two linked together. In this way, Zhao Feng and Hua Tianfeng were forced to fight.


    Zhao Feng didn''t care. He didn''t even need to do anything except sit in the array and defeat his opponents.


    On the other side, the first platform linked to the second. As for the third platform, Young Master Wei had defeated his opponent, but nothing changed.


    "Brat, I''ll kill you today!" Hua Tianfeng finally vented his long-suppressed anger.


    Swish!


    He waved his hand, summoning two vicious black lion vultures at the initial level of the Divine Transformation Realm. Hua Tianfeng clenched his fists, creating a whirlwind that rumbled toward Zhao Feng.


    "I''ll show no mercy to you!" Zhao Feng smiled, turning over his hand to reveal three metal balls.


    Thwish! Thwish! Thwish!


    The three balls flew forward, shooting at the two lion vultures and Hua Tianfeng. Kaboom! The metal balls transformed into a firestorm.


    The two lion vultures were instantly dealt heavy injuries, their bodies in tatters and blood-drenched. Hua Tianfeng also received a rather heavy blow, and blood was seeping from the corner of his lips.


    "That was a self-detonating-type tool!" Hua Tianfeng gnashed his teeth and clenched his fists.


    As this self-detonating tool could heavily injure an initial-level Divine Transformation, it had the value of a Heaven- level low-class divine weapon. Even Hua Tianfeng felt that Zhao Feng was being rather wasteful.


    Now that the lion vultures could no longer fight, Hua Tianfeng was assaulted by the two middle-level Divine Transformation automatons.


    But he was no ordinary prodigy, and he was still able to hold his own against the two automatons.


    Although Zhao Feng was only at the initial level of the Star Origin Realm, he had the protection of his array, powerful combat automatons, and even self-detonating tools.


    But Hua Tianfeng had his own trump cards. His eyes burning with rage, Hua Tianfeng decided to use everything he had.


    "Get out of here!" Zhao Feng could see what Hua Tianfeng was trying and immediately took out three more metal balls. All three of them shot at Hua Tianfeng.


    Boom! Bang!


    Before Hua Tianfeng could take out his trump card, he was blasted off the platform, his chest scorched black.


    "No, this wasn''t how it was supposed to go...!" Hua Tianfeng cried out in unwillingness.


    Zhao Feng threw him off the stage before he could even take out the trump card he had gone through so much trouble to prepare. He also believed that Zhao Feng didn''t rely on his own strength to win, but on all kinds of tricks.


    But Zhao Feng''s tricks truly did have him alarmed. Each of the self-detonating tools were incredibly expensive, and there was also the array and the combat automatons, and Zhao Feng also used a flying automaton in the previous trial. He truly had far too many tricks.


    The value of these objects added together had Hua Tianfeng amazed. Did Zhao Feng come from some powerful background?

 1585 Reunion

    Chapter 1585 - Reunion


    In the outside world, the spectators were stunned. None of them had imagined that the initial-level Star Origin Realm Zhao Feng would reach this point.


    "Zhao Feng actually defeated Hua Tianfeng!"


    "What''s so amazing about that? He relied entirely on automatons, arrays, and special tools!"


    "He just got lucky! If he had gotten the Tenth Prince or Young Master, these tricks would have been useless!"


    The method Zhao Feng used to get here did not make him much of a fan favorite.


    Those people who had already been eliminated made an uproar, but in reality, they were extremely envious. They would have also been able to reach this stage if they had the same tricks available to them.


    It was only Huo Qingfeng, Blood Spirit, and the other two servants who continued to indifferently smile. They knew that the moment Zhao Feng decided he wanted to take part in this contest, his victory was certain.


    In the trial dimension, after defeating Hua Tianfeng, Zhao Feng looked to the other side.


    The Tenth Prince had already defeated his foe, and his platform had linked with Young Master Wei''s. The two were currently engaged in an astonishing battle.


    The Tenth Prince and Young Master Wei could be said to be the most talented of all the geniuses present. Unfortunately, the two of them were not fighting in the decisive match.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Golden dragons and blue light intersected and annihilated each other on the platform.


    The Tenth Prince and Young Master Wei were both at the middle level of Divine Transformation, but the power they exhibited neared the peak of Divine Transformation.


    The Tenth Prince was of the royal household, so he had many resources at his disposal and had prepared many tricks. He was flanked by two strange monsters that seemed like a cross between a dragon and an alligator. They possessed fierce physical might and were incredibly savage. The Tenth Prince''s dragon-patterned golden saber was also a Heaven-level middle-class divine weapon.


    Of course, Young Master Wei didn''t come from some obscure family. Two large dark-golden automatons stood in front of Young Master Wei like two miniature mountains, taking most of the damage for him.


    This duel involving pets, automatons, and divine weapons made one feel dazzled and nervous.


    Although the battle between the Tenth Prince and Young Master Wei was not the last battle, the spectators believed that the victor of this battle would probably be the last one standing.


    You''re the strongest foe I''ve ever faced, but your defeat is inevitable!" the Tenth Prince roared, his long hair flying around him and his golden saber summoning draconic streams of energy.


    Young Master Wei backed up so that his automatons could use their bodies to take the majority of the Tenth Prince''s attacks. However, his automatons were badly damaged by now, and one of them was even obliterated by the Tenth Prince''s attack.


    "Dragons Howl at the Nine Heavens!" the Tenth Prince roared, his body exploding with power as he slashed his saber.


    A savage golden dragon of immense size roared, shooting forward while wrapped in a fierce storm. The Tenth Prince''s pets chose to attack at the same time.


    Young Master Wei shattered a jade talisman, which created a barrier of blue scales around him, but in the end, he could not hold out against the Tenth Prince''s offensive. The barrier shattered, and he was swept out of the platform.


    In this way, this dazzling clash of the strongest had come to an end.


    Only two platforms were left. The Tenth Prince''s platform was much larger than Zhao Feng''s, as he had fought three battles.


    "I truly didn''t think that my last foe would be you." The Tenth Prince had a proud and rather scornful look on his face.


    Although Zhao Feng''s passing of the first two trials had left a very deep impression on him, the Tenth Prince was confident that he could crush Zhao Feng in a duel.


    Brrrooom!


    The two platforms moved to the center and finally came together. This indicated that the final match had begun!


    The Tenth Prince gripped his golden saber and rushed forward, appearing in front of Zhao Feng and unleashing a wave of golden draconic energy.


    Boom! Bang!


    The golden wave of light struck the blue barrier and caused it to shudder. It seemed on the verge of shattering. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng''s two automatons were suppressed by the Tenth Prince''s pets.


    At present, Zhao Feng seemed like a cripple who couldn''t do anything. When the array broke, Zhao Feng would lose.


    Many experts in the outside world couldn''t help but emotionally sigh. They had long predicted this outcome. Zhao Feng had many tricks, and while they might have been useful against initial-level Divine Transformation experts, they were useless against the Tenth Prince.


    Within the array, Zhao Feng was as motionless as an ancient stone.


    "As expected of the Tenth Prince! It seems I''ll have to go all-out!" Zhao Feng suddenly smiled.


    Swish!


    He waved his hand. Four red array banners appeared, landing within the blue barrier and creating another array. Zhao Feng also summoned two more automatons, both at the peak Divine Transformation Realm. Moreover, ten-some metal balls appeared in Zhao Feng''s hands.


    "What? To think you had so many... you cowardly turtle!" The Tenth Prince was stunned, and then he loudly cursed.


    He thought that Zhao Feng had shown his hand, but his opponent was actually holding back. The Tenth Prince couldn''t do anything about this, and he was thoroughly enraged.


    "Kill!" The Tenth Prince attacked one of the peak Divine Transformation automatons first. This automaton was stronger than his pets. If he didn''t intervene, his pets would probably be killed.


    "You said I''m a cowardly turtle?" Zhao Feng wickedly smiled.


    Thwish!


    A metal ball shot out of his hand.


    "Curses!" The Tenth Prince hastily dodged.


    "Explode!" Zhao Feng called out, and the metal ball approaching the Tenth Prince erupted into a wave of fire.


    "A trifling trick!" the Tenth Prince coldly said.


    Boom! Bang!


    Golden light shot through the ball of fire, causing it to fall apart.


    The metal balls could at most wound an initial-level Divine Transformation expert. They would have little effect on middle-level Divine Transformation experts, particularly ones like the Tenth Prince who had defensive armor.


    Zhao Feng smiled and threw out three metal balls.


    Boom! Bang!


    The Tenth Prince, seething with energy, had just cleaved apart the first wave of flames with his saber. Before he could speak again though, three more metal balls were flying at him.


    Boom! Bang!


    The explosions rang out endlessly, sending waves of flame rolling across the platform. The explosions of the three metal balls overlapped to a certain extent.


    "You...! Is there an end to your tricks!?" The Tenth Prince was feeling suffocated.


    This fellow was hiding within his array and using those balls to attack him, but there was nothing he could do. Although he wasn''t afraid of the metal balls, it wasn''t like he could take on Zhao Feng''s endless attacks forever.


    "Not yet," Zhao Feng seriously replied.


    He was far too lazy to fight himself, which was why he made so many tools before the contest.


    Swish...


    Three more metal balls flew at the Tenth Prince.


    This time, the Tenth Prince chose to dodge.


    But what came next left him wide-eyed and slack-jawed. Zhao Feng waved his hand, instantly throwing out nearly twenty metal balls that sealed off every path of escape.


    Hwooooom!


    The balls all exploded, completely covering the platform in flames.


    Once the flames were gone, the Tenth Prince was revealed. His clothes were in tatters, revealing the flexible suit of armor he wore underneath. His handsome face was blackened so that it seemed like a beggar, and his hair was so messy that it seemed like a chicken nest.


    The Tenth Prince didn''t seem like a prince at all. Not even his bodyguards would be able to recognize him.


    "Zhao Feng...!" the Tenth Prince angrily roared as he viciously glared at Zhao Feng, wanting to tear him to pieces.


    "Want more? Don''t be polite. I still have many more here! I''ll give them all to you!" Zhao Feng generously waved a hand, sending ten-some more metal balls flying out.


    The Tenth Prince''s furious face instantly paled. He truly was afraid of this move.


    Boom! Bang! Crash!


    Explosions rang out endlessly across the platform, and the Tenth Prince was forced to run here and there like a dog, completely devoid of the demeanor of a king.


    "Curses! You''ve forced me to do this!" The Tenth Prince''s face turned vicious.


    He didn''t know how many metal balls Zhao Feng had left, and he could not break through the dual arrays in the time available to him. He could only use his last trump card. He was confident that this trump card could snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.


    Cling! Crack!


    A dragon talisman appeared in the Tenth Prince''s hand, and he shattered it.


    The moment the talisman shattered, a gigantic ethereal dragon appeared, its energy suppressing all living beings. "Die, Zhao Feng!" the Tenth Prince roared.


    The jade dragon talisman was a gift from his royal father meant to protect his life. It was a soul attack that could instantly kill even a middle-level Imperishable Realm expert.


    Boom!


    The golden dragon pierced through the two arrays and charged into Zhao Feng''s body. The Tenth Prince watched and smiled.


    Zhao Feng also smiled.


    In the soul world, the golden dragon exuded boundless strength in an attempt to destroy Zhao Feng''s soul, but at this moment, Zhao Feng''s seemingly weak soul erupted, morphing into a vast dreamy eye.


    The moment this eye gazed at the golden dragon, its domineering energy vanished, and it dropped to the ground and begged for its life.


    The dreamy eye flashed, unleashing an indescribably terrifying pressure.


    Boom! Bang!


    Less than half a second later, the golden dragon was crushed.


    "Why is there no reaction? He should be dead...." The Tenth Prince stared at Zhao Feng.


    Suddenly, Zhao Feng looked at the Tenth Prince and gave him a frightening smile.


    Whoosh!


    With a wave of his hand, ten-some metal balls flew out.


    "How could this be?" The Tenth Prince''s mind was in turmoil, but he had no time to think, only flee.


    "Where are you going!?" Zhao Feng continued to cast out metal balls.


    "Zhao Feng, you and I will forever be enemies!


    "Ah, you cowardly turtle!


    "Zhao Feng, if you''ve got the guts, come out and fight me!"


    Gradually, the Tenth Prince didn''t even have the strength to shout.


    Boom! Bang!


    Exhausted and covered in wounds, the Tenth Prince was blasted off the stage.


    His face was twisted in agony and humiliation. It would have been fine if he had lost in a proper battle, but he truly wasn''t willing to lose in such a fashion!


    In the outside world, the crowd had already gone numb. From start to finish, Zhao Feng didn''t even move, but the Tenth Prince was forced to dodge here and there until he could dodge no more and was blasted off the stage. Many people felt that the Tenth Prince was just too pitiful, that he had been dealt a great injustice.


    After a long while, the Lu Clan patriarch stood up and announced, "The number one this time is Zhao Feng!"


    After saying this, he paused. Apparently, not even he had imagined this result. It was just too unexpected. So many geniuses had come forward, but an initial-level Star Origin Realm had beaten them all.


    Swish!


    Two white pillars of light appeared on the plaza, and two figures slowly emerged in them.


    One of them was still seated cross-legged on the ground while the other was completely scorched black, his body devoid of that pride and heroism, bereft of any draconic might.


    The other youths couldn''t help but back away from Zhao Feng while Hua Tianfeng was scared out of his wits. Even the Tenth Prince was beaten so badly, so Hua Tianfeng could only count his previous treatment as being lucky.


    Zhao Feng stood up and smiled as he walked up.


    "Hmph!" The black-robed elder next to the Lu Clan patriarch coldly harrumphed.


    He was a member of the royal household and had come with the Tenth Prince. Zhao Feng''s conduct had damaged the image of the royal household, making him extremely unhappy.


    At this moment, Zhao Feng stared at the elder.


    The elder''s soul instantly began to tremble. He felt like some supreme expert was looking down at him, seeing through all his secrets.


    After frightening the elder, Zhao Feng looked at Lu Fei''er and Lu Qin''er.


    The two of them were also looking at Zhao Feng.


    Zhao Feng was the victor, so he could make a marriage proposal that could not be refused.


    Strangely, although Zhao Feng had a weaker cultivation level, they felt that he was extremely familiar and felt an inexplicable affection. It was like they had met somewhere before.


    "Boy, which one of my daughters do you plan to propose to?" The Lu Clan patriarch smiled.


    Zhao Feng was now destined to be his son-in-law. Rather than being disgusted, he was actually extremely interested in Zhao Feng.


    Lu Fei''er and Lu Qin''er looked at Zhao Feng. Not even they realized that they had been entranced by this youth, anxious to learn what his answer would be.


    "I want... both of them!" Zhao Feng smiled and awkwardly said.


    The crowd fell silent, everyone''s eyes flying open. The rules said that only one person could be proposed to!


    Those geniuses were all enraged by Zhao Feng. How could he be so greedy and shameless?


    Lu Fei''er and Lu Qin''er were also shocked, and they both blushed.


    "Are the two of you willing?" Zhao Feng ignored the reactions of the crowd and asked the two women.


    His eyes suddenly began to flow with dreamy light that was reflected in the eyes of the two maidens and entered their souls. Ordinary martial artists were incapable of sensing this.


    At this moment, the surroundings exploded into an uproar.


    "The rules are that the winner can only propose to one person, and the target cannot refuse! How could he propose to two people at once?"


    "Heh, if he only proposed to one, she wouldn''t be able to refuse, but since he proposed to two, they can refuse!"


    "That''s right! How could the two fairies take a liking to this kid? They''ll definitely reject him!"


    The defeated geniuses began to laugh and waited for Zhao Feng to be humiliated.


    After a long while, the crowd fell quiet.


    The two fairies finally spoke as one; "I am willing!"


    The entire world became so quiet that one could hear the sounds of the crowd breathing.


    Lu Fei''er and Lu Qin''er stood up and rushed into Zhao Feng''s bosom.


    The crowd felt like they had been struck by a lightning bolt, and they wanted to ram their heads against a wall. Even the Lu Clan patriarch, the father of these two daughters, was seemingly petrified.


    "Father, we''re willing!" the two women turned and said. By now, they had already recovered the memories of their last lives. As both parties were willing, it didn''t matter that everyone around them objected!


    At this moment, Zhao Feng''s four servants flew forward, each of them carrying a betrothal gift.


    Just like that, the marriage was decided.


    The news was soon sent back to Southcloud City. The upper echelon members of the Zhao Clan never would''ve imagined that Zhao Feng had gone out to make a marriage proposal, and that his partners would be the two prodigies of the Lu Clan.


    Southcloud City was festooned with bright lanterns and streamers, a festive mood on the streets. Everyone knew that today was the day that Zhao Feng would marry the two genius daughters of the Lu Clan.


    Within the bridal chamber, Zhao Feng looked at his two gorgeous wives and smiled.


    "In our last life, I wasn''t able to give the two of you a wedding. In this life, once we get married, we''ll travel the world!" Zhao Feng was admittedly a little nervous, but he was also incredibly happy.


    Liu Qinxin and Zhao Yufei were also very nervous, and their blushing faces made Zhao Feng love them even more. After drinking the ceremonial cups of wine and lifting the veils, Zhao Feng moved up for a kiss...
